Playable Characters
- "A man should never let a woman wear too much makeup or too many clothes."
Voiced by Ken Narita (Japanese) and Nolan North (English).
A man with self-professed "mad skills," Vashyron makes a living doing odd jobs with his gun. He acts as something of a big brother figure to Zephyr and Leanne.
- Anti-Hero: Really, he's a mercenary who kills people and monsters for a living, and sometimes just (armed) people who get in his way. While not as scary as Zephyr, he's not a white hat, either.Vashyron: I look at an enemy and all I see is a wad of cash. I can't help it.
- Beware the Silly Ones: He may be a laid back pervert but he is the Cardinals' go-to guy for a reason. His cinematic fight with Zephyr is all the proof you need. He was also the second-in-command of Cardinal Theresa's husband Victor, where he wound up being the sole survivor of his unit.
- Big Brother Mentor: He shows flashes of this when he's not being a...
- Chivalrous Pervert: He's a pervert, make no mistake, but as shown in his interactions with Cardinal Theresa, he's perfectly capable of being a gentleman.
- Chosen One: Rebecca describes him as a Knight of Zenith. What this means in practical terms is that Zenith intervened when he was about to die and saved his life.
- Egocentric Team Naming: The trio's name in the Arena rankings is "Team Vashyron."
- Handsome Lech: Some women do find him attractive but he is still too pervy.
- Hitman with a Heart: He may be a killer for hire (or, in his words, a merchant of death), but he doesn't kill innocents and genuinely cares about the two kids under his care.
- Papa Wolf: Don't threaten Vashyron's employees when he's around. Just don't.
- Survivor Guilt: He was the sole survivor of a ruins excavation because of a literal Deus ex Machina. He doesn't like to talk or think about it.
- Team Dad: It shows especially when Lagerfeld comes to kill Zephyr, how Vashyron feels about his companions; acting lightly at first, when Lagerfeld invokes a friendship between them thinking that will give him the boy, Vashyron snaps and blocks Lagerfeld from coming in.
Vashyron: Daddy does NOT approve!
- And there is the wedding job:
- "Will He still judge me as a child of God?"
Voiced by Hiro Shimono (Japanese) and Scott Menville (English).
A reserved young man with a dark outlook on life. Vashyron took him under his wing and he's been making a living with his machine gun every since.
- Ax-Crazy: Zephyr in the game's opening cutscene.
- Badass Boast: Throws a few of them but his line at the Big Bad deserves mention.Zephyr: You may be a Cardinal, but it won't save you! You'll die screaming!
- Big Damn Heroes: In the game's first scene, he catches Leanne as she jumps from a ledge in Chandelier.
- Bishōnen: Oh, so very much. In his type B costume he could probably audition as a Gackt look alike.
- Blood Knight: While all three fit to some degree, it's most evident with him.Zephyr (battle quote): Don't take them out in one hit! Where's the fun in that?
- Can't Hold His Liquor: In chapter 1, he takes a sip of wine... then spits it out and doubles over coughing.
- Chosen One: See Vashyron.
- It Sucks to Be the Chosen One: Considering what he did and what he wants, he not happy about this at all.
- Covert Pervert: While the Christmas example is the most obvious, there's also this gem if he examines Leanne's closet:Zephyr (paraphrase): What's this? My hand is moving on its own towards Leanne's closet! Oh the humanity...Damn, there's nothing here!
- Cynicism Catalyst: The Crank Seminary Incident is this for him. He later learns that his little sister was one of the victims.
- Deadpan Snarker: Some of his victory quotes certainly count:Zephyr: That wasn't a battle. That was assisted suicide!
- Death Seeker: The reason for his recklessness; he even explicitly says that he should be dead, and nearly lets Lagerfeld kill him during their fight.
- Defeat Equals Friendship: He fell in with Vashyron after the latter fought him and nearly killed him as part of a job.
- Dual Wielding: If you have him go unarmed, he uses two knives to attack incoming opponents.
- Even Evil Has Standards: He is shocked at how casually Vashyron draws a gun on the Cardinals' men because they politely asked him to turn around. He even hesitated before doing the same.
- Gangsta Style: He seems to like holding guns this way.
- Heroic BSoD: When he realized his life was miraculously saved despite killing 30 school children and his own sister. He feels a huge amount of Survivor Guilt.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite his sociopathic tendencies, Zephyr leapt without thinking to save Leanne at the risk of his own life, offers her his jacket when she looks cold, and risks his life to retrieve her cold medicine when she gets sick.Zephyr: I want Leanne to be happy.
- Lame Rhyme Dodge: His quip about Leanne's Sexy Santa Dress during the Christmas Episode:Leanne: Agh, this skirt's too short!
Zephyr: Now all we need is a trampoline.
Leanne: What did you say?!
Zephyr: I said, "the hem looks really keen."
- Mood-Swinger: He can either be jovial or brooding, and frequently switches from one to the other.
- Phlebotinum Rebel: He was part of a second set of experiments by Sullivan, which gave him increased speed and strength, but also unhinged his mind to the point of causing mass murder.
- Naytheist: He has plenty of misgivings about faith and God and doesn't mind showing it.
- Pet the Dog: His concern for Leanne's well-being is the one consistent sign that he's still got some humanity left.
- Survivor Guilt: See Heroic BSoD above.
- Tragic Keepsake: Despite his apparent faithlessness, he keeps a book of scriptures that his sister gave to him.
- Troubled, but Cute
- Zipperiffic: For some unexplained reason, the t-shirts of Zephyr's "B" costumes all have a small zipper over the left collarbone.
- "If I have to die, I'll die on my own terms."
Voiced by Aya Endo (Japanese) and Jessica DiCicco (English).
An upbeat and delicate looking girl who seems a little out of place doing mercenary work. Zephyr saved her from a suicide attempt and she "followed him home."
- A-Cup Angst: Not really an issue for her unless Vashyron is teasing her about this.Vashyron: Too small for a good look, huh?
Leanne: What's too small?!
Vashyron: Your rack.
- Action Girl: Although she and the other two constantly mention how inexperienced she is, this girl kicks serious ass on the battle field.
- Anger Born of Worry: After she saves Zephyr from being killed by Lagerfeld, she slaps him upside the head and berates him for wanting to die... before breaking down in tears and pleading with him to at least "die with courage" while clinging to his back.
- Badass Adorable: Several NPCs will go on about how adorable she is and it's evident in her artwork.
- Badass Longcoat: Her default white coat.
- Better to Die than Be Killed: See the above quote and Driven to Suicide below.
- The Chick: Though definitely not the passive version.
- Combat Stilettos: She is never without a pair of high heels, in-combat or out. She should get a medal for being able to pull off Hero Actions with them without breaking her ankles.
- Driven to Suicide/Interrupted Suicide: The first time you see her in a cutscene, she's jumping to her doom, only to be saved by Zephyr. Later in the game, we discover that she did so because she believed she was about to die anyway and wanted to go out on her own terms.
- Gameplay and Story Segregation: Both Vashyron and Zephyr mention repeatedly that Leanne is the New Meat and highly inexperienced compared to them. When she gets in an actual fight, however, she's just as skilled and capable as they are.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: In a way, this is reflected in the HP/Weight Cap gain she attains as she levels up; those values increase at a lesser rate than Zephyr and Vashyron's do.
- Girly Run
- Zettai Ryouiki: Golden Thigh Ratio.
- Kicking Ass in All Her Finery: Her default◊ outfit is a dress that looks a bit like a winter coat with knee-length boots complete with stilettos and a nice ribbon at her neck. And she kicks serious ass while wearing it.
- Magic Skirt: Averted and played straight. Leanne's outer dress (or possibly coat) does ride up with all the flips she does, but there's another skirt underneath that that doesn't seem to budge. Outfit B averts this trope but some of the outfits in B have a pair of black leggings on her. The most expensive skirts don't.
- Morality Pet: For Zephyr and, to a lesser extent, Vashyron.
- Mysterious Waif: Leanne fell out of her world and got caught by Zephyr, and she's a major component of the game's overall plot.
- New Meat: As noted above, she's considered the least experienced member of the team; and it's implied that she only recently (as in, a year after she moved in) started accompanying the other two on their missions.
- Older Than They Look: Would you believe she's 21 just by looking at her?
- Phlebotinum Rebel: She's the last of 20 children whose quartz stones were to be randomly broken one-by-one; one stone would be broken (and consequently one child would die) every year. By her 20th birthday, she decided to take matters into her own hands by jumping off a bridge... until Zephyr (and Zenith) intervened.
- The Protagonist: She arguably gets the most Character Development, and the protagonists' conflict mostly revolves around her; which is odd since the dynamic within the trio doesn't really suggest this.
- Sexy Santa Dress: Worn during the Christmas mission, and complained about endlessly.Leanne: Aah, this skirt's too short!
Zephyr: Now all we need is a trampoline.
Leanne: What did you say?
Zephyr: I said "the hem looks really keen."
- Significant Birth Date: Her birthday is on Christmas Day.
- Small Girl, Big Gun: Depending on what you choose equip her with, she can wield one or two of the largest weapons in the game.
- Stepford Smiler: She seems very upbeat and happy, but the mask starts to crack at the end of Chapter 5.
- Tsundere: She's normally nice, but she's not above dealing out physical abuse to Vashyron for being a pervert. She also smacks Zephyr more than once when she feels he's being particularly wangsty.
- You Are Number 6: Sullivan refers to her as "Number Twenty" at one point.
- Your Days Are Numbered: The reason for her attempted suicide at the game's beginning. Leanne was one of twenty newborns who Sullivan experimented on and programmed to die at a certain birthday; Leanne herself was supposed to die on her twentieth birthday, so she decided to kill herself, preferring to die on her own terms. However, Zephyr intervened, and when the clock struck midnight, she didn't die thanks to Zenith.
- Your Makeup Is Running: Exploited; she says she wears makeup as a reminder to stay strong, because if she cries, she'll ruin the makeup. Then right after explaining this, she cries anyway.
Non-Playable Characters
- "I'll set my doubts aside. I'll set them aside to build a world of order. For the sake of the people."
Voiced by Keiji Fujiwara (Japanese) and Jim Ward (English).
The highest-ranked of the Cardinals, although he will not step forward to take up the mantle of Prelate. He is tormented by his past, especially the death of his beloved Freida.
- The Alcoholic: Drinks frequently, and loves blended scotch and malt whiskey.
- Authority Equals Asskicking: This guy is hard if you're underleveled or your guns aren't fully customized.
- Rowen: To be a cardinal is to be a warrior.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: It's quite stylish, his suit. And he's badass.
- Badass Preacher: He's the highest ranking Cardinal of the Zenith religion, and a damn good marksman. Final boss of the game, too.
- Crisis of Faith: Practically his personality. Guy worshiped Zenith as God, but then found he could control it, and thus, became God.
- Heartbroken Badass: Probably his most prominent character trait is his unending sorrow over the death of the Prelate Freida, his wife. All the power he has, including the control of Zenith, means very little to him compared to the stark reality that he'll never have her back.
- Villainous Breakdown: After seeing Leanne he completely loses it and starts ordering the murders of innocent scientists, thinking Sullivan tricked him and all his sacrifices might be for nothing.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: His justification for dooming 20 newborn children to an early death (one every year for 20 years) is that he's doing it to fulfill Freida's dream of a free people.
- "Look what they've wrought! They would use machines to spread the plague of their clockwork world. But the wastes beyond are our Eden. Now you die along with Zenith!"
Voiced by Yukana (Japanese) and Cat Taber (English).
Although Rebecca appears to be an adolescent girl, the horns on her head hint at a far more esoteric origin.
- A Glass of Chianti: She's constantly shown drinking what appears to be wine. It's not wine, it's blood.
- Bonus Boss: Only fought in Neverland.
- Creepy Child: She's not too bad until you realize the "wine" she's been drinking is actually blood. And that's just the beginning.
- Good Wings, Evil Wings: Of the Power Wing variety.
- Horned Humanoid: Ram horns.
- Mind Rape: Her current mute childlike self is a result of Zenith doing this to her.
- Morality Pet: Of Sullivan.
- Little Bit Beastly: She has curly little ram horns on her head.
- One-Woman Army: A few years prior to the game, she invaded Basel with the goal of wiping its people out. She killed the entire Lucia excavation team, including Victor, Theresa's husband, and was about to kill Vashyron when Zenith intervened and broke her mind.
- Power Gives You Wings: She can make them appear at will.
- Unkempt Beauty: All she wears throughout the game are a tattered tanktop and shorts.
- The Voiceless: At least in the present-day scenes. Sullivan treats her silence as an opportunity to speak freely and contemplate his actions. Though in the past, she spoke to Vashyron before knocking him out, calling him "Zenith's knight" as she realizes she can't kill him. She slowly starts off making childlike vocalizations, and by the end of the game she's capable of calling Sullivan by name.
- "Let me be perfectly clear this once: we're evil men who revel in our vainglory."
Voiced by Takehito Koyasu (Japanese) and Chris Edgerly (English).
A researcher who appears to be helping Rowen. He is almost always accompanied by Rebecca. His past has ties to both Leanne and Zephyr's.
- Authority Equals Asskicking: If the bonus dungeon is canon, guy can kick serious ass.
- Big Bad: Nearly everything bad that happens to the main characters can be laid at his feet, including Zephyr's insanity.
- Bonus Boss: Alongside Rebecca, only fought at Neverland.
- Immortality Immorality: At first his experiment was just to comprehend life and the relations humans have with Zenith but when he finds out he can be immortal he starts doing even worse acts to put it to the test. If you confront him in Neverland, he fights the protagonists to test the limits of his invulnerability.
- Evil Laugh: When met in Neverland.
- Pet the Dog: It's pretty obvious from the ending sequence that he genuinely cares about Rebecca.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Arguably applies to him too as he is also following Freida's ideals albeit in a different way. While Rowen's goal is to control Zenith to prevent it from spontaneously killing people, Sullivan's goal is to free people from it entirely by making them like Rebecca. He eventually succeeds in making himself free but along the way Crank Seminary (among most of the plot) happens.
- "I'm alive! You all saw it, each and every one of you! I've been chosen by God!"
Voiced by Shigeru Chiba (Japanese) and Dwight Schultz (English).
A man who is completely off-his-rocker nuts. He attacked Mine 24 to get at the Quartz vein, believing that if he found his star he'd be "chosen by God."
- Big Bad Wannabe: After finding out he is chosen by God (he isn't)he plans on sending Chandelier crashing down and even asks if Vashyron and co. want to join him.
- Zephyr: He talks a good game.
- Chewing the Scenery: In a cast of Large Hams, he shines above and beyond.
- Enemy Chatter: He has both interesting things hinting at the backstory to say to Vashyron and funny things to say to the other two.Gelsey: Love the threads!
Zephyr: Thanks. You're not too badly dressed yourself.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He seems to take his Grandma's advice to heart and recalls her words fondly. He thinks his Grandpa's crazy though, which is... interesting coming from him.
- Flunky Boss: Curiously, he's weaker than his flunkies — he has no protective parts whatsoever. If only for the amusing banter, it's better to take your time and kill the other enemies first.
- Informed Ability: According to other hunters Gelsey is the Arena's record holder and has a highly customized gun. He is by far the weakest boss.
- Laughing Mad: He seriously lost it by the time you see him and he is loving it.
- The Mad Hatter: Seems to revel in his insanity.
- "You've nothing to fear! Though it cost me my life, I, Cardinal Pater, bearer of the Celestial Jewel, will save you!"
Voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama (Japanese) and Jason Marsden (English).
A cardinal with an almost child-like personality. He has a crush on Leanne, but can't work up the courage to talk coherently around her. He seems to have a friendly relationship with Zephyr. Friendly for Zephyr, anyway.
- Chekhov's Gun: In his first scene, he is given his quartz stone, which he fashions into a ring. Later, he punches out a monster threatening Leanne while wearing it, causing the ring to shatter. Pater dies.
- Giant Space Flea from Nowhere: He appears as a Bonus Boss in Neverland after his death, and no one remarks on this before or after the fight.
- Gonk: Ironically, he's the most lighthearted of all the cardinals, unlike most instances of this trope.
- Hollywood Nerd: Type 1, so very much.
- Odd Friendship: With Zephyr. Some of the NPCs note it too; apparently his demeanor changes completely when they're together. When Vashyron asks Zephyr he says he doesn't hate him.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Seems like a real nerd at first, completely and totally awkward. But one soon learns that he deeply cares for the common people and is devoted to clearing out areas so they can have places to live.
- Smarter Than You Look: He spearheaded the reconstruction of Patertopolis and according to a kid people says he is a good Cardinal despite being a goofball, unlike Jean Paulet who is just an idiot.
- Stalker with a Crush: A harmless case; during several chapters, he's the first person you see hanging around outside the Base.
A close contact of Vashyron, Cardinal Theresa often gives missions to him and his team.
- Cool Old Lady: She appears quite dignified in comparison to the other somewhat eccentric Cardinals. She is the only cardinal Vashyron shows any respect to and everyone in Basel likes her as she tends the most to the lower level people.
- Friend to All Children: Sets up a Christmas party with presents for orphans in the Square Garden.
- Pimped-Out Dress
- Reasonable Authority Figure: One of the few cardinals who isn't evil, completely insane, or both. She even donates food to the lower levels, and the soup made from the ingredients she sends is affectionately named after her.
- Something About a Rose: Her first mission involves going to a dangerous place and placing a (fake) rose on a gravesite.
- Widow Woman: Her husband has been dead for some time. It's implied that this is Victor, Vashyron's friend who died fighting Rebecca.
Voiced by Yoshinori Sonobe (Japanese) and Charles Martinet (English)
A cardinal who was in charge of the Crank Seminary before Zephyr destroyed it and killed everyone there.
- Anti-Villain: He only wants Zephyr dead because of what happened at Crank Seminary.
- Blade on a Stick: His staff has a sharp point on the end.
- Crisis of Faith: He refuses to believe Zephyr has been spared by God and starts questioning if the Cardinals weren't wrong somewhere about miracles washing away the sins.
- Duel Boss: Not counting Leanne's interference in the end, Zephyr has to fight against him one on one.
- Kick the Dog: He manages to gain the upper hand by revealing that one of the Crank Seminary victims was Zephyr's younger sister.
- Teleport Spam: During his boss fight.
- "I want to see that world. A world where people live life as they want to."'
Voiced by Yuki Sakura (Japanese) and Julie Nathanson (English).
The former leader of the Church who died twenty years before the events of the game. She was extremely well-respected by the other Cardinals and was Rowen's wife.
- Big Good: She was the benevolent light of the Church, and no-one contests that the world lost someone great when she died.
- The Chessmaster: Implied to be in control of Zenith at the end, showing that even a dead woman can manipulate events.
- The Lost Lenore: For Rowen.
- Posthumous Character: Not even in flashbacks do we see even a single scene of her alive and kicking. For good measure, there isn't even a portrait of her with her eyes open!
- Small Role, Big Impact: Everything Sullivan and Rowen has done throughout the game was motivated by her passing.
- Too Good for This Sinful Earth

Sculpting a Realistic Female Face in ZBrush
Learn how to sculpt a realistic female face in ZBrush in this Premium Tutorial by FlippedNormals. You'll see the entire process, from start to finish. The goal is to teach you a methodical and well-tested approach to making female realistic faces time and time again.
Learn the Subtle Art of Female Faces
Sculpting a realistic female face is very different from sculpting men, as it all relies on being extremely subtle with all your strokes and moves. Throughout this tutorial series, we'll be covering just how important subtlty is, and how to achieve it.
Sculpted From a Sphere
In order to truly understand the fundamentals, we are starting off from a sphere instead of a base mesh. This makes it's a lot more challenging, and you'll get a better understanding of how to truly sculpt a human head, instead of simply moving proportions of a base mesh around.
Taught by Industry Professionals
Your instructors, Henning Sanden & Morten Jaeger, have worked on some of the biggest movies in the last decade, from Guardians of the Galaxy, Pacific Rim and Pirates of the Caribbean – as character modellers. In this tutorial series, they will share their secrets to sculpting good faces, and providing tons of useful advice along the way too. They are also the founders of FlippedNormals.

A really useful tutorial :)! They're very open and honest with how they approach sculpts, their tips, tricks, and workflows. It's not magic, it's repetition and putting in the time!

I enjoy FlippedNormals tutorials because they share anecdotal as well as technical information. I also find them easier to understand and follow than other tutorials. Their sound track appears to be edited so that when I listen with headphones there is little distraction.

Let the advertising wars begin a-fresh. Last week, T-mobile launched a new marketing campaign that brands their HSPA+ network as "America's Largest 4G Network".
Clearly, AT&T are unhappy about this.
In an email to Phone Scoop today, AT&T called into question T-mobile's numbers, stating:
"T-Mobile's claims about 4G are based on the same HSPA+ technology we have deployed to 180 million people today, more than T-Mobile's reported 140 million, and we'll have it rolled out to 250 million people by the end of this month, substantially more than the 200 million T-Mobile says it will have by year-end."
AT&T also wanted to make clear that their network can also reach the same 21mbps max theoretical bandwidth that T-mobile claims for their "4G" network.
Of course, the biggest drawback that AT&T is facing today in getting customers on-board with 4G speeds is the lack of handsets available that use the technology. T-mobile currently have two, while AT&T offer… none. They do, however, offer USB modems.
It's now up to AT&T's marketing department to decide whether or not they want to jump on board with the 4G moniker, and if they do, it could call into question the accuracy of T-mobile's new slogan.
But that probably won't stop T-mobile from using it.

Looking at the thinning skin on my hands, the creping around my knuckles and veins starting to show through my translucent skin not only in color but texture, I know I'm well into adulthood. My wedding earlier this year was a bit of a shock as it was the end of a prolonged young adulthood, years of being stuck in that obligatory urban millennial purgatory of minimal responsibility outside of paying one's bills and getting a modicum of sleep every night.
Then, poof, I'm a married, working women with no more childhood romantic notions to play to, no more weddings to plan, no more wonderlands to chase. Not yet a mother, but the same age of many peers who have children approaching puberty, I am still childfree and tired nonetheless from stressing out epically over job after job where I can't quite perform at the level required for success, only relentlessly tread to try to stay above water.
I'm exhausted.
Some of the exhaustion comes from the fact that lately I've been traveling a lot for work, getting home at 10pm, waking up early for flights, and never quite getting enough sleep. But a huge part of the exhaustion comes from the stress of caring more than I probably should about certain aspects of my job and not enough about others. I feel my body breaking down — I've gained 40 pounds in the last 7 months, which is 10 beyond the 30 I lost for my wedding. I feel like shit. I look like shit. I can't be a good wife or think about having children now, I'm struggling more and more every week, and I don't know what to do about it.
Some friends suggest I go to a larger company — simplify my role — take a lower salary — clock in and clock out and stop trying to be a hero for all women everywhere. So what if I'm paid less than men or if I never see $200k salary in my career? Why am I doing this to myself? I've just told myself over and over again that if you work for a for-profit business, it's your job as a salaried employee to be paid for the value you add, not how many years you've worked or a perfect track record.
I know if I keep going like this, life will pass me by and I'll be an old woman before I can blink. I don't want that to happen. I'm 33, nearly 33-and-a-half, which is nearly 34 and very close to 35 and close enough to 40 that I feel sick to my stomach when I take a moment in the day to contemplate how fast it's all going. Somehow you go from 10 to 11 to 12 to 13 to 15 to 18 to 21 to 25 to 30 to 40 and then most of your life may be behind you, give or take a few years. Everyone says it goes fast and it really does. No one tells reminds you that many of the people you love will be gone by the time you're 40, and that's why life is really the best before you turn 18, when, if you're lucky, everyone you know and care about is around in one piece.
I need a break but I won't get one until I have a kid… which, obviously isn't much of a break. Or, if I get laid off and I don't have a job lined up, which seems to be the only way I am able to take a break. I don't like breaking either, as I don't know what to do with myself. I just miss childhood, and time being on my side…

Some woods are naturally rot resistant---like black locust and the heart wood of redwood and cedar. Other more readily available woods can be made rot resistant by treating them with creosote---as has historically been done with telephone poles and railroad ties. Part of the ambiance of fooling around railroad tracks in the summer is the smell of creosote.
We also treat wood with copper in various chemical solutions.
Both of these approaches have their limitations over time depending on how far the treatment goes into the wood. Railroad ties have to routinely be replaced because of the decay that happens in the center of the ties. These ties often get re-sold as landscaping timbers where the decay and damage from wood destroying insects can continue until there is virtually nothing left except the exterior shell of the timbers.
At an inspection the other day, I found this retaining wall made of short sections of creosote treated telephone poles.
One can easily spot the deterioration of the center of the poles while the outer surface remains in good shape where the creosote was able to more fully penetrate.
If one goes to the big box stores or any lumber yard, one can buy what is known as "ground contact" pressure treated lumber. One would think that in buying this stuff you should be able to put it in: "contact with the ground." In my opinion this is an egregious example of either "false advertising" or at the very least not telling the whole truth. The reality is that most of these "ground contact grade" pressure treated woods WILL decay over time---not the outer treated part---but the center of the wood where the treatment process could not get to.
Now there are grades of pressure treated wood where the treatment is "required" to fully penetrate the entire piece of wood. These "foundation- grade" pressure treated woods should not be confused with the readily available materials found at the big box stores.
As you can see in the following picture, this "ground contact" pressure treated 6x6 has completely rotted away at the center core leaving a very well defined area that actually got "treated"----the rest is compost.
These ground contact pressure treated materials actually hold up very well long term when they can dry out. But when buried in wet conditions---like when used for retaining walls---they will decay and or become infested with wood destroying insects.

LOI Signed for Jakarta's Giant Sea Wall
South Korea, the Netherlands and Indonesia have signed a letter of intent for a study on a joint realization of the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD), also known as the 'Giant Sea Wall' project.
The LOI was signed in Jakarta on 3 September by vice president Choi Sung Ho of the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), deputy minister Lucky Eko Wuryanto of infrastructure at the Coordinating Ministry of Economic Affairs, and deputy head of mission Ferdinand Lahnstein of the Dutch embassy in Indonesia.
Following request of the Indonesian government, Korea and the Netherlands will study the options for a joint realization of the mega-project. Based on the outcome of the study the three countries are expected to make a final decision on the start of second and third phase of this mega project.
The new study is expected to be ready in six month.
The first phase of the NCICD project has already started and concerns the enforcement and lifting of the existing flood wall along Jakarta's coastline.
The second and third phase of the project include a $40 billion megadevelopment, construction of a 32 km long sea wall in the bay of Jakarta.
Dutch and Indonesian experts have been working on the details of the NCICD-plan since 2008, involving a Dutch consortium headed by consultancy firms Grontmij, Witteveen+Bos with subconsultants Dutch research center Deltares, architecture firm KuiperCompagnons and consultancy firm Ecorys.

Rare Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, handwritten manuscript (PF355)
Rare Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, handwritten manuscript (PF355)
The British Prime Minister between the years 1828 and 1830 signed this unique item to Lady Seymour
The Duke of Wellington, Arthur Wellesley, was the British Prime Minister between the years 1828 and 1830.
Before becoming Prime Minister, Wellesley was a soldier and fought during the Myrose War against Tipu Sultan. In 1803 he achieved a remarkable victory at Assaye during the subjugation of the Mahrattas.
Wellesley was knighted upon his return to England and in 1807 he was appointed chief secretary for Ireland.
During the Peninsular War (1808-1814), Wellesley was asked to assume command of the British Army, eventually forcing the occupying French to withdraw from Spain and Portugal.
Following Napoleon's abdication in 1814, Wellesley returned home to England was created Duke of Wellington.
The Duke of Wellington replaced Lord Goderich as prime minister in 1828. He served as British prime minister until 15th November 1830 when his government was defeated in a vote in the House of Commons.
This unique item is a signed, handwritten note from the Duke of Wellington to Lady Seymour, dated July 1839. In the note, the Duke comments on a pamphlet he has received from Seymour and also on a Bill in which she has expressed interest and which is progressing through the House of Lords.
The note is written on a sheet of paper measuring 9.5" x 7.5". This sheet is folded in half and the note occupies one half measuring 7.5" x 4.7". The note features some light creasing where it has been prevously folded.
Thisitem is a superbpiece of historical memorabilia.

Respect yourself and shut up.
I cannot stand to listen to people complain about being disrespected.
Earlier this week I listened to professional football players complain about being disrespected by team owners for prematurely voting on a collective bargain agreement, even as their NFL brethren were calling the owners names and tweeting statements like:
Look guys I have no reason to lie! The truth of the matter is we got tricked, duped, led astray, hoodwinked, bamboozled!
You can't be consumed with anger and disappointment over being disrespected while simultaneously disrespecting the guys who supposedly disrespected you.
Well, you can, but it makes you a hypocrite and an idiot.
More importantly, is there anything more pathetic than a guy whining about being disrespected?
Oh… you felt disrespected? Poor little linebacker. Do you need a hug?
One of the worst ways to get respect is to ask for it.
If you have to ask for it, it ain't real.
But even worse than asking for respect is whining when you are not getting any.
Respect yourself. Respect those who have earned your respect. And stop worrying so much about other people think.

I forgot about Elizabeth Hurley. But somehow all the news covered her bikini bod these days. If I'm struggling hard enough I clearly remember she was known as Hugh Grant girlfriend that stood by him even after he solicited the services of a prostitute in 1995.
Other than that she was always beautiful and have been engaged or married with some wealthy men. Now she has her own bathing suit line, just because it fits the glove isn't it. Always stick with what are you good at.
And I want you to see these pictures of a 51 year old woman:
Last October in glorious Mustique #IvorySnakeBikini @elizabethhurleybeach ?
A photo posted by Elizabeth Hurley (@elizabethhurley1) on
I know what you thinking of if you are a man : this is a sexy woman.
And I basically know what you are thinking as a woman: plastic surgery paid off.
Truth is that we have no clue how Elizabeth Hurley looks like this at 51, but she always have been fit and beautiful. And if she had some surgical improvements, might be so insignificant, because I do not notice them.
There is this "miracle" happening over the last few years, that women over 45 have their first kid (naturally of course) and most of them look like nothing over 30.
That's why I do really love Meryl Streep. Because I know for sure that her beauty is in her smile and I do not have to look over surgical improvements:
We cannot deny the work and effort put in by Elizabeth, to have this body, and it would be great if all women in their 50s could achieve that. But it is in the genes too isn't it? 🙂 And Liz hit the jackpot here.

When we advocate human rights broadly, it is easy to rally support around them. Who doesn't want to be a defender of freedom or protection? However, advocacy becomes a lot more challenging when we single out specific groups of people whose rights are under threat on a daily basis. We still periodically need to remind ourselves and others that 'women's rights are human rights', for example. And not everybody who supports human rights in general is ready to stand by the rights of other gender-based groups, such as gender and sexual minorities, otherwise known as LGBTI (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex) people.
That's what I found in going through the latest ILGA-RIWI Minorities Report 2017, which takes a snapshot of the attitudes towards LGBTI individuals around the world. The report is based on a survey of 116,000 people from 77 countries, analysing their attitudes towards sexual orientation and gender identity. It includes a few striking findings.
First, no matter where they live, when people personally know someone who is from either a sexual or gender minority group, they are much more likely to support their equal rights and protection. Their attitudes towards sexual orientation and gender identity become more accepting.
Second, laws matter up to a certain point. Out of the 77 countries surveyed, 25 criminalise same-sex relationships. Correspondingly, many more respondents from those 25 countries agree same-sex relationships should be considered a crime than respondents from other countries (42% vs 22%). But there is also another side to the story: on average, only a third of the population living in countries criminalising same-sex relationships is openly against applying equal rights to everyone regardless of their sexual orientation. So, while laws do have an impact on attitudes towards sexual and gender minorities, most people seem to be more tolerant than one would think.
Third, some regional differences are stark. Working in international development, I was particularly interested in reading about Southern perspectives. What I found is that, on average, South America comes across as more open and inclusive than any other region in the world, while Central Asia and Middle East respondents generally support more traditional gender roles and sexual orientation. Similar differences can be noted in the African region, where the Sub-Saharan people surveyed are usually more inclusive than those from North Africa. These findings naturally raise questions about the relevance of culture and religion to attitudes towards sexual and gender minorities.
Indeed, the survey addresses these issues head on by asking people whether they can support equal rights regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity and at the same time respect their own culture and religious beliefs. Surprisingly (at least to me), the average global response is yes (48% for compatibility with one's religious beliefs and 49% for compatibility with one's culture), although a relatively large number of respondents remains undecided and regional variances resurface. Again, this empirical evidence suggests that people are more willing to reconcile sexual and gender equality rights with their personal beliefs than what mainstream media would have us believe.
Final food for thought: talking about LGBTI rights can be confusing to those who are not familiar with the acronym and what it stands for. Some respondents may have a different understanding of what a transgender person is and how it differs from an intersex individual, for example. These concepts, although now adopted at international level, are mainly Western definitions that may not be universally shared. The survey is useful in reminding us that different populations build their knowledge about gender and sex differently. It also shows a higher number of responses to questions about sexual orientation than about gender identity. Why? It could be that people are more interested in talking about sexual relationships than about gender identity or perhaps that they just understand the concept of sexual orientation better than the multiple identities captured by the LGBTI spectrum.
Clearly, there's a lot to be learned from reading the Minorities Report. Hopefully, future editions will also break down responses by gender and age groups for more granular findings.

Special Editor: Ron Haskins
Vol. 678, July 2018
The July volume of The ANNALS, edited by Brookings Institution's Ron Haskins, provides a survey of the field of evidence-based practices and policymaking through papers written by some of its most notable practitioners, including two U.S. senators and one of the original developers and implementers of the Pay for Success program model. The articles in the volume provide a unique overview of the field of evidence-based policy, and demonstrates the benefits of this approach to policy-makers and the public alike. While there is still a ways to go before the field proves consistent in improving the nation's policies, the research presented here shows that the field is not to be overlooked, and can have positive implications for the future of policy in our nation.

New credit card laws help merchants, but what about customers?
As this 2008 article in Consumerist pointed out, merchants weren't permitted to do either of these things, though many did. Interestingly, though, these rules only came from the card processors. They weren't legislated by Congress or the Federal Reserve or any other governing body.
"Generally, this is industry imposed, and it's for the purpose of making sure retailers don't discriminate against credit cards," says Lauren Bowne, staff attorney for Consumers Union.
Now that status quo has changed. The financial reform legislation that just passed in Congress (and that you've been reading so much about on WalletPop) included provisions, effective immediately, that give merchants more autonomy. "What they were trying to do [with the new legislation] was give the merchants more wiggle room in adhering to network payment laws," says Linda Sherry, director of national priorities for Consumer Action.
What's Changed
One provision now lets merchants institute up to a $10 minimum for credit card transactions. It doesn't require them to; it just says that Visa and other processors can't make any rules prohibiting stores from implementing minimums. Debit card purchases, however, are exempt from minimum requirements; regulators did this because a number of government benefits are now distributed via debit cards, so requiring minimums for debit cards would hurt those (generally disadvantaged) consumers.
The law also addresses an issue that before had only been handled by a patchwork of state laws: namely, charging cash-paying customers less than those using their card. Prior to the law's implementation, consumers would probably only have noticed this difference at places such as gas stations in states that permitted the two-tiered pricing system. Some had laws that let cash customers get a "discount," although credit card users couldn't be slapped with a "surcharge."
While this may sound like splitting hairs, it was an important legal distinction. In the eyes of the law, offering an incentive for using cash is okay, but penalizing someone for using a card isn't. Now the financial reform bill bars processors from prohibiting merchants from offering a cash discount (surcharges are still a no-no). In other words, this decision now rests in the hands of merchants rather than card processors.
There's been plenty of debate about whether these new laws will help or hurt consumers. They'll obviously help merchants, who pay very steep fees for the privilege of being able to offer customers the convenience of paying with a credit card. "Merchants have been in a war with credit card companies for years," says Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director at U.S. Public Interest Research Group.
"Merchants were angry that they couldn't negotiate how much they paid for interchange," Mierzwinski says, referring to the fee processors charge merchants. Some experts believe that stores offering people a discount for paying cash will help consumers, since they can save a few bucks if they keep the plastic in their pocket.
"The fees get expensive and cash customers end up subsidizing credit customers," says Chi Chi Wu, staff attorney at the National Consumer Law Center. "For consumers who use cash, it may be a good thing."
Other advocates, such as Consumer Action's Sherry, worry that the money stores save by not paying the processors won't get passed on to customers. "We have to let the market see how this is going to work out," Sherry says.
One rule the new laws don't touch pertains to showing an additional piece of ID (such as a driver's license) when using your credit card. Technically, merchants' agreements with processors don't allow them to ask you for ID, as long as your card is signed. (If it's not signed, all bets are off; they can ask you to sign it in front of them and then show your ID so the clerk can compare the two signatures.)
Merchants sometimes want to check ID to make sure the holder of the card is the rightful owner, since they can wind up holding the bag if a charge turns out to be fraudulent. And at least some consumer advocates think that checking ID is a pro-consumer move, since it could keep someone from going on a spending spree with an ill-gotten card.
"It definitely seems like something that's there for the consumer's protection whereas these other things are just kind of business issues," says Consumer Union's Lauren Bowne. "This is trying to prevent ID theft to make sure the right person is using the card."
In this case, though, the rules are still on the processors' side: If you refuse to show ID and the store declines to serve you, you can complain to the processor, even if the clerk says it's store policy to show ID. (The processors' policies trump the store's in this case.)

It's the one hundred year anniversary of Universal Pictures. If you've watched any of their films recently, it's hard to escape the fact. The recent release of Jaws on Blu-Ray takes nearly sixteen years to begin for all the Universal promos banging on. Skip it? Yeah, you think you're getting the movie and then they trick you with ANOTHER clip of a film you don't want to see. I want the shark, not Robert Redford. I know, I'm being harsh, but don't bug us with other films when we've paid good money for this one. Anyway, Universal Pictures CEO Steve Burke says they're going to focus on "franchises and animation". Continue reading

If you'd seen any of the marketing for The Grey, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the movie was just a dumb action flick where Liam Neeson tapes up his fists with broken glass and punches the shit out of some wolves. It's certainly what I thought. But you'd be wrong. Director Joe Carnahan delivers a film that's a hell of a lot more thoughtful and considered.

I like J.J. Abrams. He produced the silly but entertaining monster flick, Cloverfield. I think he did a great job directing Star Trek, making it exciting and relevant again. People say Lost, which he also produced, was quite good too, though I never watched it so I can't comment. Super 8 sees him wear his writer, director, and producer hat under the watchful gaze of a certain Steven Spielberg. This HAS to be great… doesn't it? Continue reading
