My artwork deals with urban change how the unfixed nature of the city presents itself as an endless pattern of decline and growth. Architectural decay, structural failure, rapid redevelopment and gentrification add to the continuous and cyclical layering of history that serves as my source material.
I am interested in issues that come with urban development, such as the fragility of communities and lost histories, but I also intend these concerns to serve as metaphors for memory, personal upheaval, transition, and loss.
Each sculptural artwork I create is site-specific literally made from or attached to the space in which it is installed and is emblematic of the history of that place. I work in a direct manner, improvising with materials on-site, as a way to make meaning and understand my surroundings and our current place in history. My most recent work involves cutting into walls and scraping away at surfaces to reveal recent and long forgotten histories. I use found (in-situ) objects, embossed paper surfaces, handmade plaster parts, and architectural interventions in a labor-intensive process. Once built, the work will soon break, decay, be deconstructed or erased; this is temporary work.
My aim is that each installation I create reveals the surprise of what lies beneath the surface, but is also recognizable enough to speak to the collective experience of life in the built environment. With this work I want to capture remnants and traces, and memorialize the resourcefulness of the ever-changing city.


text: Here in Illinois where I live, we have had 6 inches of rain the past 3 days. This is unbelieveable. I actually got some grass cut today for the first time in 2 days, but had to avoid many spots becasue of it being muddy and standing water. Came close to getting stuck a few times, but then decided it would be a safer bet to stay away from the wet spots. Not only have we had rain, but severe storms. They have knocked down many tree limbs and such giving me something to do in the next few days if I cannot cut grass. Anbody else out there have a extremely wet week? Jason

An Elizabethan Kitchen in Bramall Hall
I just spent the weekend in Manchester, and had a wonderful time exploring Bramall Hall in Stockport. Truly an unexpected gem, a gorgeous Tudor Manor House, with so much still intact – including its stunning 16th century wall paintings in the solar, some of the finest in Europe. I particularly wanted to see the Elizabethan kitchen, and was not disappointed.

The first Event on this list is the Pigman Army. This is very profitable as well as the Ender Army. The hardest part is that they all swarm one player, but this opens a chance to build a rough fortress. This is THE hardest Mob related Event on Zeta, because the Event lasts until ALL of them die. The rewards from this Event include the Gold Nuggets gained from their deaths, and if the Army is beaten in 1 night/day, each player gets 10 Diamonds.
The second on the list is the Ender Army. This army is annoying because of their teleportation ability and they hit quite hard, as well as their "ragequit" when you look at them. Ender pearls can be worth different things on this server, so I can't give an estimate. The rewards from this, if each player survives the night in the open, is 5 Diamonds for each person.

Re: [Peterhead] James Florence-
Expand Messages
- Hi Angela,
Thank you for joining in the Florence discussion. I will have a look
in my Florence box as researching in South Australia, like you, I have gathered information on Florence's which do not belong to me.
I think that James Florence who died in 1856 parents James and Isabella
were also the parents of Alexander aged 24 on the 1841 census and missing on the 1851 census which would work in with my dates. I have found Alexander Florence getting married in Sth Australia 1852 to Isabella Dougal. South Australia put very little on their certificates and the marriage certificate just give the names nothing about parents etc. This was the case in 1852 but then later on they started requesting more information.
Isabella Alexander's wife died and he then married again and this time the father's name was added to the certificate - this being James Florence. My thinking is that James married to Mary Falconer in Peterhead is the older brother of Alexander.
I am interested in the extracts from the Scottish Registry and wonder if you could tell me how to go about getting copies for my records also.
I need to get back to the family of James and Isabella the parents of James and hopefully Alexander. James in the 1851 census puts his birth place as Auchterless. He also had a son named Alexander.
I look forward to hearing from you. I have added my email address
after my name
Best wishes

The Asian Economic Community – a market game-changer
- Written by Stuart Hoggard
ASIA - Here's a 'heads up': When you do business in South East Asia from January 2015 you are going to have to come to grips with a new TLA (Three Letter Acronym). It is called the AEC – short for ASEAN Economic Community.
When it comes into force, the AEC will be vaguely familiar to Europeans of a certain age who remember the EEC, before it was Unionised, politicised and monetised, and abbreviated to EU. In a nutshell it will be a 'common market' comprising the 10 South East Asian countries that make up ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations): Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Burma (Myanmar) and Cambodia.
AEC is based on four pillars: A single market and production base; a highly-competitive economic region; equitable economic development; and full integration into the global economy.
The objective is to transform South East Asia into a single competitive market and production base with free movement of services and investment capital among the member countries.
Key AEC areas of cooperation include human resources development and capacity building; recognition of professional qualifications; closer consultation on macroeconomic and financial policies; trade financing measures; enhanced infrastructure and communications connectivity; development of electronic transactions through e-ASEAN; integrating industries across the region to promote regional sourcing; and enhancing private sector involvement for the building of the AEC.
In short, the AEC will transform ASEAN into a region with free movement of goods, services, investment, skilled labour, and free-flow of capital. But, significantly, there has been no suggestion of a common currency.
It is tempting to think that this is all due to formally happen in 2015, but there will be a period of adjustment while countries get their act together. So what does this have to do with packaging and why bother about it now?
The answer to that lies a bit further north, in China.
The China crunch
Since the start of the global financial crisis, Asian countries - and China in particular - have been refocusing their economies to replace declining exports to Europe and the USA, with an increase in domestic spending.
To increase domestic spending the Chinese worker has to earn more; a wages hike. These days a local Chinese packaging engineer in Shanghai, Guangzhou or Beijing expects, and gets, annual salary increments of up to 30 per cent. It is a similar situation on the factory floor, with minimum annual salaries of US$2,250 per capita. In terms of total salary including welfare payments, China's workers are now amongst some of the best paid in Asia, after Malaysia and Thailand.
The same worker in Vietnam earns $1,152 per year, in Indonesia $1,085, while in Myanmar a factory worker is lucky to earn $401.
This has not gone unnoticed by major fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturers who have been implementing a 'China +1' policy for years; in a nutshell this means 'Invest in China, but hedge your bets and maintain scalable capacity in one other Asian country … just in case!'
Behind the bureaucratic talk of a 'single market and production base with free movement of services and investment capital' and the 'four pillars of cooperation', the AEC opens the door to trans-border corporate expansion within the 10-country ASEAN grouping.
AFTA and AEC
In the 1990s, before China joined the WTO, South East Asia had attracted almost half of the total capital investment in developing countries. Interest rates were high and attractive to foreign investors looking for a high rate of return. Labour costs were low.
The region's economies received a large inflow of 'hot money' and experienced a dramatic run-up in asset prices, mainly property. The bubble burst in 1997 when the Asian financial crisis hit the currencies of Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, which dropped by 40 per cent, while the Indonesian Rupiah lost more than 80 per cent of its value, bringing the country close to bankruptcy.
Badly shaken, the ASEAN leaders saw a need for a more robust defence against any further economic threats. The result was the creation of a tariff-free zone covering all 10 member countries of the ASEAN bloc.
Designed to act as an incentive for the member states to increase the volume of trade between countries by eliminating intra-ASEAN tariffs, the solution was AFTA - or ASEAN Free Trade Area.
AFTA came into full force in January 2010, effectively creating a duty-free zone for more than 7,500 products. Intra-ASEAN trade grew from $470 billion in 2008 to $519.7bn in 2011, equivalent to 25 per cent of the total $2.04 trillion trade between ASEAN and the rest of the world.
The region remained largely immune to the current global economic crisis that began in 2008, and despite the chaos in the US and Europe, all of the ASEAN countries showed positive GDP growth rates throughout 2010-2012, according to the OECD, and this trend is expected to continue through to 2015.
Under the umbrella
The Free Trade Area ring-fences the 10 member countries to reduce their trade tariffs while maintaining high barriers on imports from outside the AFTA umbrella.
Unlike the European Union, AFTA does not apply a common external tariff on imported goods and each ASEAN member imposes its own tariffs on goods entering their country from outside ASEAN: Indonesia has an average 20 per cent import duty on consumer goods from outside the ATFA zone.
For goods originating within ASEAN, the tariff rate ranges between zero and a maximum of five per cent, according to a mutually-agreed schedule, known as the Common Effective Preferential Tariff (CEPT).
ASEAN members do have the option of excluding some products from the CEPT, none of which are remotely related to packaging: Products considered necessary for the protection of national security, public morals, human, animal or plant life and health, and articles of artistic, historic, or archaeological value.
To define 'Country of Origin', the basic rule is that local ASEAN content must be at least 40 per cent of the Free On Board (FOB) value of the finished product – it is a fairly simple formula (see table).
The local content can be cumulative, allowing the value of Components produced in different ASEAN member countries to be combined to meet the 40 per cent requirement.
So for example, a multinational CSD brand based in Singapore could have the syrup imported from the US and mixed in the plant there. The bottle could be blown in Thailand and the label printed in Malaysia and both could be shipped to Singapore for filling. The finished product could then be shipped to Indonesia duty free since, according to the Rules of Origin, only the syrup has been imported from outside ASEAN.
Impact on packaging
As FMCG manufacturing in ASEAN continues to increase there has been a parallel increase in packaging demand from (and here's the important point) packaging producers located inside the AFTA umbrella.
Japanese brands such as Ajinomoto and Nissin have been capacity building inside ASEAN, supporting Japanese integrated packaging manufacturers such as Oji, Toyo Seikan, Toppan and Dai Nippon, all of whom now have plants in Thailand and are setting up in Vietnam.
ASEAN has a combined population of more than 600 million and a 2012 gross domestic product of more than $1.17 trillion. The AEC changes the game, with new players emerging and cross-border manufacturing growing.
In short, as a packaging industry player - whether you are a packaging producer or a supplier of equipment, materials or consumables - if you are not under the AFTA umbrella, you are condemned to being 20 per cent more expensive than the local competitor – and that will hurt.

BME PhD Dissertation Defense - Ed Reznik
Committee Members: Dr. Daniel Segrč, Departments of Biology and Biomedical Engineering (Advisor) Dr. Tasso Kaper, Department of Mathematics Dr. Calin Belta, Department of Mechanical Engineering Dr. Wilson Wong, Department of Biomedical Engineering Dr. James Galagan, Department of Biomedical Engineering (Chair) Title: "The Dynamics of Metabolic Regulation" Abstract: Cellular metabolism is a complex network of biochemical reactions, whose regulation enables living cells to cope with variable environments and perturbations. Since metabolic regulation occurs at multiple time scales and involves diverse molecular mechanisms, understanding and manipulating the dynamics of metabolism in the cell constitutes an open challenge in systems biology. The work presented in this dissertation explores the coupled dynamics of metabolism and regulatory control using different theoretical and computational approaches. First, I frame my work from the perspective of the multiple time scales along which regulatory processes unfold. In particular, I present three increasingly complex models of coupled metabolic-regulatory dynamics, ranging from single biochemical reactions, to a small hybrid metabolic-genetic oscillator, and finally to an entire genome-scale metabolic network. To deconvolve the distinct roles of metabolism and regulation in these models, I apply some classical tools from physics (variational calculus) and operations research (optimization theory). The results shed light on the interdependent role of structure and function in the design of metabolic systems, as well as on the contemporary challenge of integrating high-throughput data with complex metabolic models. Next, I focus on the question of whether and how metabolic dynamics may be inferred directly from the architecture of the metabolic network itself, irrespective of regulation. In one project, I prove that the structure of a class of metabolic cycles endows them with stable equilibria, regardless of the choice of rate laws or kinetic parameters. A curious outcome of this proof are two theorems describing the location of the roots of a sum of polynomials. In a second project, I use high-throughput metabolomics data and the notion of flux imbalances in stoichiometric models of metabolism to calculate quantitative measures of growth-limitation. I then use these quantities to grossly describe the dynamics of intracellular metabolites following a perturbation. Taken together, my results suggest possible routes for identifying fundamental principles of biological organization which may guide future efforts in metabolic engineering and synthetic biology.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a device for measuring optical reflectance values of a test object and/or measured values derived therefrom and more particularly to a spectrophotometer.
2. State of the Art
Measuring devices, such as spectrophotometers of the type of the present invention, have been described in U.S. Letters Pat. Nos. 4,968,140, 4,961,646 and 4,929,084 (corresponding to European Patent Publications EP-B-0 328 483, EP-B-0 331 629 and EP-B-0 327 499). These computer-controlled measuring devices are embodied as hand-held devices and have a movable measuring head which is extended out of a housing for the measurement process and is subsequently retracted into the housing.
As with many measuring instruments, measuring devices of the type in accordance with exemplary embodiments of the present invention need to be regularly calibrated or checked with respect to their spectral calibration if the dependability of the measured results is to be assured. This is achieved by measuring special calibration test objects (calibration standards) matched to the respective measuring device, which are provided as separate components of the measuring device. These measured values are evaluated by the computer in connection with corresponding stored reference values, in order to either obtain a statement regarding the properties of the measuring device to be checked, or to perform calibration automatically, provided the measuring device is equipped with such functions.
These calibrating and checking processes require special care and regularity. These processes must be performed within prescribed time intervals, and the positioning of the measuring device, or its measuring head, relative to the calibration test object must be correct, so as not to affect the measured results negatively.
It is an object of the present invention to improve a measuring device in such a way that calibration and checking of the device becomes simpler and more dependable for the user. In particular, it is intended that the user need not be concerned with calibration and checking, i.e. all steps are to be performed automatically by the device.
A measuring device in accordance with the invention contains at least one calibration test object which is permanently installed in the device and can be started up by the measuring head. For example, the calibration test object can be arranged in the resting position of the measuring head. It is possible, with this arrangement, to automatically measure the calibration test object(s) in accordance with a predetermined program, and to perform the respective calibration and checking functions. The measurement always takes place in a precise and consistent manner and are always available. The calibration test object(s) is (are) always available and cannot be confused with other, similar calibration test objects which are part of other measuring devices, such as often the case in connection with conventional measuring devices with separate calibration test objects.
The invention will be explained in more detail below, making reference to the drawings.
The present invention can be further understood with reference to the following description and the appended drawings, wherein like elements are provided with the same reference numerals. In the drawings:
FIG. 1 illustrates a basic diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the device of the present invention;
FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic representation of the device of FIG. 1 with the measuring head in the resting position; and
FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic representation of the device of FIG. 1 with the measuring head in the measuring position.
With reference to FIG. 1, the measuring device represented, embodied as a hand-held instrument, comprises an essentially cubic housing 1 in, or on, which all other functional elements of the device are housed. Among the elements are a movable measuring head 2, a drive device 3 for moving the measuring head 2, an opto-electric converter device 4, a computer 5, a display device 6 and an operating member in the form of a keyboard 7. The housing 1 is further provided with a sighting device 8 that is used for positioning the measuring device on a test object O. A filter wheel 9, which can be moved together with the measuring head 2, is provided underneath the measuring head 2, by means of which several different filters 9a can be selectively introduced into the measuring beam path.
The measuring head 2 is normally at a resting position P0 inside the housing 1. If a measuring process is triggered, for example by the actuation of an appropriate operating member, the measuring head 2 is extended by means of the drive device 3 out of the housing 1 into a measuring position PM. In this position, it is located directly above the sighting device 8. At the end of the measuring process, the measuring head 2 is pushed back into its resting position P0 inside the housing 1. The converter device 4, together with the measuring head 2, is located on a carriage (not shown), and it is moved together with the measuring head.
In the course of the measuring process, the measuring head 2 acts upon a test object O (shown in FIG. 2), positioned underneath the measuring head 2 or underneath the sighting device 8, with measuring light within a standardized angular range coming from a light source located in the measuring head, and collects the light reflected back from the test object within a standardized angular range, and passes it on to the converter device 4. In the process, it is possible to affect the spectral composition of the measuring light and of the collected reflected light in the manner required for the type of measurement selected by means of positioning one of the filters 9a of the filter wheel 9. If desired, positioning of the filters 9a can also take place only in the illumination beam path or only in the collected beam path, wherein just the measuring light or only the reflected light would be affected. The collected light is spectrophotometrically analyzed in the converter device 4, i.e. the reflectances are measured, for example, in 36 wave length areas of approximately 10 nm width in the visible range of the spectrum (380 to 730 nm) and converted into corresponding electrical signals. These signals are then transmitted to and processed by the computer 5 to determine the measured values of interest for the respective measurement, such as, color coordinates in accordance with CIE. These measured values are then output on the display device. All measuring functions and mechanical sequences of the device are controlled by the computer 5.
To this extent, the measuring device shown completely corresponds in its structure and function to the hand-held spectrophotometer described in detail in U.S. Letters Pat. Nos. 4,968,140, 4,961,646 and 4,292,084 mentioned at the outset, so that one skilled in the art will not require any more detailed explanation. The subject matter of these patents is hereby incorporated by reference.
The measuring device in accordance with exemplary embodiment of the present invention is equipped with a series of internal calibration test objects, indicated by 10,11,12 and 13, which are arranged inside the housing in appropriate calibration measuring positions, indicated by P0, P1, P2 and P3. In the exemplary embodiments illustrated, one of these calibration measuring positions could also be the resting position of the measuring head, but need not necessarily be so. The drive device 3, as controlled by the computer 5, can selectively displace and position the measuring head 2 into each one of the calibrating measuring positions P0, P1, P2 and P3. At the same time, the computer 5 is programmed to trigger and perform a measuring operation in each one of these calibration measuring positions P0, P1, P2 and P3, the same as in the measuring position PM. The calibration test objects 10 to 13 are arranged in the housing 1 in such a way that they take up the same position in relation to the measuring head, which is in the calibration measuring position, as the test object O when the measuring head is in the measuring position PM.
The internal calibration test objects 10, 11, 12 and 13, according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention are arranged in the housing 1 of the device, can be different reference objects depending on the intended use. A white standard is required for an absolute white calibration, different color standards are employed for checking the spectral calibration. It is also possible to employ densitometric test tiles as calibration test objects. By means of the calibration test objects built in accordance with the invention into the housing, it is possible to perform the measurements of the calibration test objects required for the various calibration and checking processes automatically in a time-, event or user-controlled manner.
It is assumed that a white standard for the absolute white calibration of the measuring device is located in the resting position, which is also is the calibrating position P0, and one color standard from 11 to 13 in the remaining calibrating positions P1 to P3 for checking the spectral calibration of the measuring device. If only the absolute white calibration, or only checking of the spectral calibration are required, the unwanted calibration test objects can be omitted. It is, of course, also possible to select a different arrangement of the individual calibration test objects 10 to 13 in the calibration measuring positions P0 to P3. Furthermore, other calibration test objects can also be provided for different types of checking.
With appropriate programming, the computer 5 can, for example, perform an automatic absolute white calibration immediately prior to each measuring process. It is possible to correct the instability of the light source in the measuring head and to obtain a stabilization of the measured values. If, for example, a measuring process is manually triggered by the user, the measuring head initially is still in the resting position P0 above the white standard 10. The computer 5 first causes the measurement of the white standard 10 and the automatic absolute white calibration. Thereafter, the measuring head 2 is extended into the measuring position PM and measurement of the test object O is performed. Subsequently, the measuring head is moved back into the resting position P0. The measurement results are calculated and displayed.
For the absolute white calibration, the white standard 10 is measured, and the calibration measurement values obtained in the course of this, along with the reference values stored in the computer 5, are used in a known manner for the automatic calibration of the device. As noted, automatic calibration takes place in a conventional manner.
Measurement of the white standard for the absolute white calibration can also take place by means of one or several of the filters 9a of the filter wheel 9. If the device has been correctly set, for example prior to or shortly after delivery, the calibration measurement results obtained thereby can also be stored in the computer as reference measurement values for the later use in accordance with the above description. To this end, the measuring device is equipped with a corresponding operating mode.
One option of checking the spectral calibration, and therefore the correct setting and the dependability of the measuring device, consists in measuring the white standard 10, for example, by means of a so-called band glass provided in the filter wheel 9. A suitable band glass, for example, is the type BG 36 of the Schott Company. In the course of this measurement, the spectral reflectances of the white standard are determined as calibration measurement values and compared with the corresponding stored reference measurement values. A deviation value is selected as quality criteria which, for example, is calculated as the square root of the sum of the squares of the differences between the measured calibration measurement values and the stored reference measurement values. If the deviation value lies above a predetermined tolerance threshold, the computer 5 indicates this in a suitable manner, for example by an appropriate alarm notice, by means of the display device 6. Alternatively or additionally, the alarm notice can be transmitted to an external computer via the interface, which is customary in modern measuring device of this type.
The spectral calibration of the measuring device can also be checked by means of the color standards 11 to 13. To this end the color standards are spectrally measured and their respective color coordinates are determined, for example in accordance with CIELAB, as calibration measurement values. These color coordinates are compared with the appropriate stored reference color coordinates of the color standards, and the respective color difference is determined. If one or several of the color differences determined in this manner lies above a predetermined tolerance threshold, the computer 5 generates an appropriate alarm notice. This check, too, can take place at different positions of the filter wheel 9, i.a. with different filters 9a. Incidentally, the filters 9a are conventional filters, customarily employed with such measuring processes, for example UV-cut filters, D65 filters, polarizing filters and the like.
A check of the linearity of the measuring system of the device is also possible by measuring a density stage wedge (gray stage wedge), which can be realized, for example, by means of calibration test objects in the form of one black tile, two gray tiles and one white tile. The spectral reflectances over the visible spectral range are measured for each one (here, for example, four) of the tiles (calibration test objects) of the gray stage wedge and are compared with the corresponding stored reference values. As a measure of quality, a value Kj is formed for each wavelength range j in accordance with the equation: ##EQU1## wherein RMij and RSij are the spectral reflectance values measured at the tile i, or the corresponding stored reference values for the wavelength j. If one or several of the values Kj exceeds a defined tolerance limit, an appropriate alarm notice is issued.
As noted, the automatic calibration can also take place in a time- or event-controlled manner. For example, the computer 5 can be programmed in such a way that it performs a check or calibration at defined time intervals, or after a defined number of measurements.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention can be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. The presently disclosed embodiments are therefore considered in all respects to be illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description and all changes that come within the meaning and range and equivalence thereof are intended to be embraced therein.

Stuck? Talk to Your Characters
Okay, so I'd been making good progress on my MS for months, chugging along, writing multiple pages nearly every day. And then, lately, words stopped flowing quite as easily. I'd go to outline upcoming scenes and just end up sitting there staring at the screen. The problem was not the overall story; I've been creating … Continue reading Stuck? Talk to Your Characters

Keep the change, please
Well, hell, my dad always told me how dangerous fireworks were, but I don't remember him getting any Nobel Prize. Maybe it slipped my mind. I'll have to ask him about it; it's probably in his sock drawer or something.
The Nobel Committee press release goes on to say, "Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," Those are pretty strong words for a man that was nominated for the award only 12 days into his Presidency. But it's not like the Nobel Committee has ever come across a "rarity" like Obama before. Oh, right. Gandhi. Yeah. He was nominated 5 separate times but never ended up receiving the award. Maybe he didn't have any "visions."
Further in the press release, the Committee says that Obama's award was granted "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people." Except for Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel. And Tenzin Gyatso, the Dalai Lama (and past authentic Nobel Laureate). And Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons. And Chris Wallace. Extraordinary!
But they're 100% correct. No person has deserved this award more. An insignificant, meaningless award given to charlatans, murderers, and publicity hounds. Enjoy it, Mr. Obama; you've earned it. You've conned the world into thinking you're the second coming of the Messiah with your silver tongue and ill-fitting suits. Me, I'm going to go have a few scotches and have a "vision"of writing the world's greatest novel. Given the state of mind over there in Oslo, I expect to be receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature within 12 days…

ArenaNet charrged up the hype machine this week with a look into another one of Guild Wars 2's featured races: the fearsome charr. As promised in Monday morning's post, they took a spin through many of the aspects of the charr: their starter area, their voice-work, the visual design behind their race, and some exciting new lore accompanied by images and an epic video of the Black Citadel.
The week kicked off with a post by Devon Carver, a member of the content design team who has contributed to the charr starter map, talking yet again about the benefits of ArenaNet's iterative process and how their willingness to go back and change things has really strengthened the design of the game. Very little of what he said about the process of feedback and iteration is new to people following the game's development, but it still gave readers a nice glimpse of what to look forward to as a charr.
Tuesday held a survey of the charr's voice-acting. Over the last three race weeks, this seems to be the area that ArenaNet's team has taken the most unified criticism. Despite the fact that these are supposed to be background voices (and part of the "over 60 feature films worth of dialog for Guild Wars 2"), people have disparaged everything from the way the lines are read to the timbre of the voices and whether or not they match up with folks' ideas of the race in question. If you haven't heard this yet, head on over to the blog and give it a look-see.
Wednesday was perhaps the greatest day for yours truly, as it took a look at the visual design of the charr. In a one line summary: "My approach was simple: make the charr badass. And then make them even more badass. (- Kekai Kotaki)" It has apparently worked! The charr look totally awesome, and I, for one, would like to send a massive amount of thanks and internet points and karma and cookies to the inimitable Kristin Perry for her guidance in the creation of the female charr. The 'none or six' ultimatum that she made on the issue of charr chest accents was quite possibly the highlight of my entire week.
Thursday and Friday held enough lore and storytelling to please any lore enthusiasts, as well as giving us a video of the charr's delightfully steampunk capital city, the Black Citadel.
One of the greatest things about the lore updates is the balanced view that it gives to the charr nation as a whole. Yes, they are indisputably warriors. They are fierce and vicious and seem to pursue victory with a whole-heartedness that is almost terrifying. But they are also strictly disciplined and hold honor in high regard. They will give up anything to protect those they love and serve with. Ree's story, interwoven with the post about the ranks and orders of the charr infrastructure, was quite touching and revealed a wholly necessary softer side to the hell-cats we met in the world of Guild Wars 1.
It would have been very easy, I think, to make an entire race of baddies and leave them at that. Goodness knows, most GW1 players wouldn't have argued at all. It wouldn't be hard to leave them as they were and leave them to people who wanted to play darker characters, with bloodlust and little thought to the greater good. Taking the time to give the charr not only a hint at a culture, but in fact sentiments and virtues, is an excellent move. The charr are not baddies – they're badasses.
People who've read Edge of Destiny are possibly not surprised to find this out: in that book, we see that Rytlock has not only a strict code of honor, but what appears to be truly deep affection for his comrades. It's comforting to see that he's not an exception to the rule, and to see the whole of the charr have been made into more sympathetic characters. That same fleshing-out seems to apply to other races as well – specifically, the few asura that readers have met in the two published books have added more depth to our idea of the race as a whole. Snaff may be my favorite character in the whole of the Guild Wars 'verse, and it has mostly to do with the fact that he's got quite a bit more depth than most asura that we met in the Eye of the North.
To our readers: What was your favorite part of this race week? What do you think of the charr?
Edit: My choice of the word 'honor' has been questioned, which is totally valid. I suppose that 'honor' might just be the closest word I can find for it. That is, their honor isn't bound up in chivalry or niceties: their honor is tied to their warband and legion, their comport in battle and under other stresses, their usefulness, their bravery.
Better word? I'm open to suggestions.
About the author: Elixabeth has been a Guild Wars fan since the release of Nightfall, and is now eagerly awaiting the release of Guild Wars 2. To bide the time, she began fiddling around with the online GW community and takes great pleasure combining two of her great loves (writing and games) here at TalkTyria.

KJV Matthew 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, 2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. 3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. 4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. 6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. 7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. 8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only. 9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.
2 Peter 1:16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
The Gospel and Epistle both teach in the clearest possible language that Jesus is God, because the Transfiguration reveals His glory, the glory of the only begotten Son.
KJV John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
I have mentioned before that we should remember Jesus appeared to be an ordinary man most of the time. His walks, eating, sleeping, praying, His anger and laughter, His thirst for water – all pointed to His human nature. The disciples tended to forget that Jesus revealed Himself as God in the flesh many different times. The lessons for the Epiphany season highlight His divine nature, because we also forget. Some will say, "Oh no, I never forget that!" But we do forget when we fall into doubt and despair, for those episodes represent a forgetting of God's power and love. Most importantly, they reveal a forgetting of Jesus' sympathy and understanding as man and God.
KJV Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
When Jesus took Peter, James, and John on the mountain, He was transfigured before their eyes. The disciples saw the divine glory of the Son of God. They witnessed Jesus speaking with Moses and Elijah, another miraculous event. They heard God the Father speaking, "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him." The voice of God terrified them, causing them to fall on their faces in fear. Jesus touched them and comforted them, telling them not to be afraid.
Liberals are troubled by this entire episode. They do not like to hear that Jesus is God. When they are done with this lesson, it looks like a twisted rag the dog has chewed on. And then they conclude, "Aha! Who can believe that?" They did not believe it in the first place. They see a conspiracy in that the disciples were not to discuss the miraculous event until the Resurrection. We should not be dismayed by this. Jesus revealed His glory according to God's timetable. During the Passion He allowed Himself to be seen as a mere man. He confessed to being "the Son of the Blessed" and He cursed the fig tree. But He allowed Himself to be arrested, tortured, and executed. Jesus was completely obedient to His Father's will. Therefore, everything unfolded as the Old Testament prophets foretold, in perfect harmony with those revelations.
We should never overlook opportunities to think about God's amazing power and His love for each and every one of us. I was thinking about how this shows itself in His Creation.
KJV John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
I was explaining the process of composting to someone who asked about the Compost Tumbler in our backyard. For those who are unaware of the process, let me mention a few things:
The Compost Tumbler is off the ground, so some of the soil creature activity is limited, but I decided to use the device to keep the compost moist and aerated, two essentials for decomposition.
Non-gardeners are impatient with such details, but I would like to ask something I have wondered myself many times: How can we comprehend the absolute symphony of activity required for all of this to happen, anywhere, any time, given the proper conditions? Most of us have never heard of a springtail, or seen one, yet these tiny servants of God's kingdom leap at every opportunity to break down rotting matter. The bacteria obey God's command. The mold grows where needed. All of this ultimately serves mankind, for no civilization has ever grown and survived on poor soil. It was so important in ancient Egypt that it was a crime to hurt an earthworm.
If our world is ordered so perfectly at the cellular level, then what can we say about God's power and love for each one of us?
The Transfiguration of Christ teaches us to remember that Jesus is God and can accomplish whatever He wishes at any time. Those who only know the power of God fear Him and in many cases hate Him as well. If they look upon Creation only from the viewpoint of the Law, they may lead obedient and outwardly righteous lives. But someone with the Law alone only knows judgment and not forgiveness.
Jesus, as man and God, knows our weaknesses and temptations, because He was also tempted. That is when we understand that the Gospel is not an abstract concept, but the power of forgiveness for us, for me. Luther stated many times that it does no good to say that Jesus died for the sins of the world, if we do not also confess "and for me." The phrase "for me" means, "I have faith in His atoning death and His resurrection from the dead. He died for my sins."
So we can see why the disciples fell on their faces in fear when God spoke. Then Jesus touched them and said, "Do not be afraid." This is also the effect of the absolution. The two parts of confession are: sorrow for sin and trust in forgiveness through the cross. Sorrow for sin can mean falling to the ground. When Peter saw the miraculous catch of fish, and realized the power of the Savior,
KJV Luke 5:8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.
Jesus comforted Peter at that time as well:
Luke 5:10b And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men.
Confession and absolution means that we as sinners receive forgiveness through the cross of Christ. For that very reason we have strength from God, not ourselves, to resist temptation and to glorify God through good works. When we are burdened with sin, we think about ourselves or what has happened in the past. When we receive absolution, the Gospel gives us the righteousness of Christ. This turns our attention to God in thanksgiving and toward others as well. God's purpose is realized in that His Gospel not only grants us forgiveness but also spreads the love of God to family, friends, neighbors, and fellow workers.
The power of Jesus as God's Son is always before us in the act of prayer. The Gospel moves us to pray because forgiveness deepens our trust in Him. Believers always pray in the name of Christ, as He commanded. We know that Jesus will hear our prayers and will answer them according to His wisdom and love. We should remember at times of greatest weakness and despair that His human nature continues and makes us truly our Brother. He understands us and also has the power to answer our prayers. When we doubt this, we should look back at all the times He has preserved us, blessed us, and given us blessings beyond our ability to imagine.
The liberals and the cults cannot understand how Jesus as the Son of God could pray to God the Father. The Jehovah's Witness said to me, "I can't understand Jesus as God praying to God." I said, "A cow can't understand it either." That may sound brutal, but only the Holy Spirit can reveal these things to us. If we want to set aside the wisdom of God and replace it with our limited human understanding, then we should expect to be blind to everything worthwhile in the Bible.
There is nothing in the Bible about God that we can
understand purely in human terms. Every attribute of God, every act of God is
believed because the Holy Spirit has moved our hearts to trust the revelation
of God's Word. We can use human reason if it is subordinated to God's Word, but
never to judge the Word, to lord it over the Word.
"Human reason though it ponder cannot fathom this great wonder…These great mysteries unsounded are by God alone expounded." Hymn #305, v. 6.
The closer we get to the power of God's Word, the more some people rebel against it. Although all Christians confess that Jesus was transfigured before His disciples eyes and spoke with Moses and Elijah, dead for centuries, and God spoke to them all, many deny another passage in the Bible – This is My body given for you, for the forgiveness of sin.
The Gospel does not get more personal than this – We receive the body and blood of Christ together with the bread and wine. "Given for you, for the forgiveness of sin." This is so significant that we express the last stage of church discipline in terms of holy communion – excommunication. That means, Unless you repent of your sins and believe in the forgiveness offered by Christ, you are going to Hell. You will no longer receive the sacrament of the altar. (Some are suspended from communion, but that is not excommunication.)
On the positive side, communion is the sacrament repeated for our benefit, because of our weakness, to give us forgiveness in a visible form. Because communion is so important, we take it seriously and pay attention to receiving the individual elements. Communion not only gives us forgiveness through the visible Word, but also strengthens our faith at the same time. We call it a Means of Grace because it is one of three ways (means) by which we receive forgiveness: through the Word, through baptism, through communion.
Someone phoned me about studying a Baptist book in his WELS congregation. I said, "Why? Are the Baptists studying Luther?" We went over the brief descriptions of the books by Phil Yancy, Christianity Today. The one on grace said it was mysterious and difficult to grasp. That's true for a non-Lutheran. Non-Lutherans are never sure of forgiveness because no one teaches them that forgiveness comes only through the Means of Grace.
Usually the shift (among generic Protestants) is toward prayer, praying for forgiveness. If the power of forgiveness comes from prayer, then how do I know I prayed hard enough and long enough for forgiveness? Then, what if I think I have to qualify to ask for forgiveness? What if I am a member of a sect that prohibits dancing and I danced; or if I had a sip of wine when alcohol is forbidden; or if I ate a pancake on Shrove Tuesday? The sects basically tell people, Go back and make yourself perfect and then ask for forgiveness. Therefore, there is always uncertainty about being completely and fully forgiven. Likewise, the Church of Rome teaches people that their sins are forgiven but not paid for. In other words, they must perform works now and in Purgatory to pay for their sins, as if Jesus did not do so on the cross.
Jesus is God and therefore paid for our sins on the cross. He is God, so He rose from the dead. He is God and answers our prayers. He grants us forgiveness through His Word and takes care of our needs, even before we ask. No fear or problem is too great or small to gain His attention. He is our comfort, our strength, our Savior, our Friend, our Brother, the Lord of Creation who listens to our prayers.

Parliament continues to block EU treaty with Serbia
Parliament supports government standpoint to block treaty.16 January 2008
THE HAGUE – The Foreign Minister of Slovenia, who currently holds the EU presidency, failed to convince the Dutch parliament to agree to an EU cooperation agreement with Serbia on Wednesday.
The Netherlands and Belgium are the only two countries blocking this accord. Slovenian Minister Dimitrij Rupel is in the Netherlands to urge the country to ratify the cooperation agreement. But Parliament remains unanimously in support of the standpoint of the government, which refuses to sign the treaty until Bosnian-Serb General Ratko Mladic is handed over to the Yugoslavia Tribunal.
The Slovenian minister will also talk with his Dutch counterpart Maxime Verhagen, Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende and the new chief prosecutor of the Yugoslavia Tribunal during his visit to The Hague today.

Donnie Goodwin: A Fort Lauderdale bankruptcy attorney who can help you understand your financial options.
So many people are upside-down on their home mortgages these days. Before you walk away from your home, read this!
Read the FAQs about bankruptcy myths, and learn why bankruptcy may help give you a fresh start.
From Goodwin Law Offices, Fort Lauderdale Bankruptcy / Foreclosure Defense
When you file your bankruptcy petition, the U.S. Bankruptcy Code requires all foreclosure proceedings to stop; bankruptcy, however, may not always be your best option. Also, bankruptcy may not be used simply to stop a foreclosure proceeding.
In Florida, all mortgages are foreclosed in equity. All foreclosure claims are, if tried, to be tried to the court without a jury. This legal process is known as Judicial Foreclosure. There is no other type of foreclosure under Florida Statutes.
The foreclosure process in Florida will typically take about 180 days. The court order of foreclosure will specify how the foreclosure will take place, and the foreclosure must take place on those terms. Whenever a legal advertisement, publication, or notice relating to a foreclosure proceeding is required to be placed in a newspaper, it is the responsibility of the lender or their representative to place such advertisement, publication, or notice.
Foreclosed Florida home owners have a Equitable Right of Redemption. The Equitable Right of Redemption ends at the foreclosure sale or at another time specified by the courts, but this rarely happens. There is a period of time after the sale that the court reviews the sale to ensure a fair price has been paid. This time period allows parties to object to the sale. Objections include that proper procedures were not followed or collusion existed between the bidders. This redemption period is usually 10 days. After this redemption period the Certificate of Sale is filed and title of ownership is is transferred to a bidder if the sale is confirmed. If the sale is not confirmed, another sale is ordered.
Deficiency judgments are allowed. If the sale does not pay the entirety of the mortgage balance, the lender may still pursue a judgment against the foreclosed person for the deficiency. This will occur under a separate lawsuit which follows the foreclosure.
Once you file a bankruptcy petition with the courts, whether it's a Chapter 7 or a Chapter 13, bill collector calls must STOP!
Goodwin Law Offices offers legal help in the following areas:
- Chapter 7 Bankrtupcy
- Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
- Chapter 11 Business Bankruptcy
- Small Business Reorganization
- Mortgage Foreclosure Defense
Read about foreclosure defense versus bankruptcy
Just because you are facing foreclosure does not mean a bankruptcy is the way to resolve the situation. Depending on your financial and legal situation, a direct foreclosure defense may suffice, in lieu of a bankruptcy. Goodwin Law Offices is ready to help you determine which option may be best for you.
