With the ever-increasing number of massively multiplayer online games moving to free-to-play, The Elder Scrolls Online stands against the crowd with a traditional subscription payment model. The question that remains is if the Elder Scrolls title can convince gamers to support what most consider a dying payment model. Fortunately, ZeniMax Online provided members of the press with an extended look at The Elder Scrolls Online beginning Friday, January 31. During the full weekend and partial week of gameplay with my Wood Elf Dragonknight character, I developed a love and hate relationship while exploring the vast lands of Tamriel. In this article, I'll discuss what I ultimately think worked and what didn't work quite as well during my adventures.
What Worked
Most importantly, The Elder Scrolls Online feels like, well, an Elder Scrolls game. Ranging from its presentation style to the narrative and its quests, the game incorporates enough elements from past games to be recognizable while also introducing new gameplay concepts. The fan service is ever-present from completing quests for the Fighters and Mages guilds to the instantly recognizable voice work of past actors from Skyrim and Oblivion. The quality of the game's narrative and its quests in particular were surprisingly well designed and unique from one another, most of which move away from the genre traditions of fetch-these-items or slay-those-monsters quest types. One quest in particular had me solving a murder mystery by collecting evidence and questioning other characters. Even though the traditional genre quests still exist in the game, the portions of the narrative that I've played thus far repeatedly introduced new locations and objectives that kept the gameplay continually interesting.
Also in the tradition of past Elder Scrolls games is the in-depth customization of player characters. All of the series' traditional races are included with returning customization options such as hair type and face tattoos, while also introducing a batch of new sliders ranging from full body tattoos to head adornments. The high level of customization should solve the common issue that plagues other MMOs in that most characters running around the world look awfully similar to one another. Another aspect of the game's character design that I found refreshing was that player characters blend together well with the non-playable characters that inhabitant Tamriel. Even higher-level characters with fancier armor never looked as if they seemed out of place standing among non-playable inhabitants. This in part can be contributed to the well-designed armor and clothing pieces that are especially lore friendly.
While most MMOs suffer from information overload in their various interface and menu elements, The Elder Scrolls Online fortunately takes many cues from Skyrim in employing an interface that only contains the necessary components. Nearly every element of the menu is easy to use straight from the beginning without much tutorial explanation. Skyrim veterans (PC players who use the SkyUI mod in particular) will feel right at home as everything is simple to use and scales well to specific resolutions. The simplified menu system also makes locating group members a quick and painless process as the world map always indicates their current location. Even with the game's fast travel system, I opted to travel by foot for most of my quests to discover new locations in the world. The map interface can also be switched between various zoom levels that range from the entire continent of Tamriel to the detailed area view of a particular region.
Combat in a MMOs can either be an entertaining gameplay feature or simply serve as another tedious function for progressing in the game. Fortunately, The Elder Scrolls Online incorporates an assortment of elements into the combat system from light and heavy weapon attacks to blocking and interrupting enemy attacks. I had to break away from the genre tradition of simply standing in one spot and repeatedly clicking the attack button as my character would quickly die during enemy encounters. The timing of both attacks and blocks are crucial in battles especially when various spells and special attacks are added into the mix. I particularly enjoyed the Dragonknight's special class attacks that included a fiery chain that could pull enemies toward my character and another that temporarily added dragonscale armor for increased defense. I'm looking particularly forward to experimenting with the game's character classes and their personalized attacks and spells.
What Didn't Work
While the press weekend for the beta contained a far fewer amount of players than there will be with the game's upcoming launch, it was obvious that many gameplay aspects still require extensive amounts of balance and difficulty revisions to ensure an enjoyable experience for both solo and group players. For my initial hours with the beta I felt confident in completing the various quests, but soon had to seek the help of groups to overcome a few tougher boss encounters. This issue was made worse with the odd balance of my character's leveling progression in relation to the amount of available quests for earning experience. I hit an experience road block on a few occasions in which I wasn't able to locate additional quests that were tailored to my character's current level. I'm hopeful that upon the game's release there will be a wider selection of quests as well as a better balanced progression of character levels.
Recent Elder Scrolls games have included the option to instantly switch between first and third-person views, both of which have their groups of advocates for the use of one perspective over the other. The addition of a first-person view to The Elder Scrolls Online was announced at a later date in the game's development as many fans advocated for its inclusion. Unfortunately, the current first-person view is best described as clunky and impractical during actual gameplay. This really didn't come as a surprise when considering that the MMO genre has always preferred the third-person view due to more dynamic and unpredictable gameplay elements. While not to say that the first-person view is completely useless, it just makes for a far more constricting view of both your character and the gameworld.
Some of the bugs I experienced on a few occasions ranged from falling through the ground to unresponsive combat and certain sound effects that would stop playing. I also experienced some odd timing of enemy mob respawns that often seemed inconsistent and unexpected when enemies would randomly appear on top of my character. Fortunately, the game is still in its beta stage and hopefully with more testing these issues will be solved before release.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, I am optimistic for the launch in April after my experiences from the game's current beta stage. While there is still an array of features that require additional polish or further revision, the majority of the content is on par with past Elder Scrolls games in regards to both the gameplay and narrative. The Elder Scrolls name after all is simply a title and won't be able to solve gameplay issues on merit alone. One true indicator of any game, especially in regards to MMOs, is the urge of returning to the game and progressing just a little bit further. The Elder Scrolls Online was no exception as I found myself continually wanting to further level my Wood Elf character as well as explore more of Tamriel, which above all else is the core selling point of the series. Check back next Friday, February 14 for part two of our Elder Scrolls Online coverage which will cover the game's player-versus-player content.
The Elder Scrolls Online will be available on April 4 for Windows PC and Mac, and later in June for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

I've been writing for Gaming Nexus since 2011 and focus primarily on PC games and hardware. I'm a strong advocate of independent developers and am always seeking the next genre-breaking and unique game releases. My favorite game genres are strategy, role-playing, and simulation, or any games that feature open worlds and survival elements.View Profile

Proper Clothes
The clothes you wear in the field are very important. They are not about fashion but about survival and comfort. Dress appropriately, and be prepared for a change in weather.
The best way to deal with extremes in weather is to dress in layers. The layer next to your skin should be a material, like polypropylene, that wicks away moisture if you begin to sweat. Keeping the cloth next to your skin dry is key to staying warm. The layers above that should be for insulation and warmth; they do this by trapping air. Wool or synthetic materials like fleece are best for this layer because these materials retain some warmth even when wet. The top layer should be some type of water-repellent and/or wind-resistant material. Cotton clothing won't keep you warm if it gets wet, so be very careful about wearing denim jeans, cotton sweatshirts, and cotton socks when hunting. Be sure to bring along a warm hat!

I have made a rough translation of Chapters 1-2 of the Book of Zhou which covers the life and times of Yuwen Tai (b. 507, d. 556)
Yuwen Tai lived during one of the less famous parts of Chinese history, the breakup of Northern Wei in the early 6th century. Yuwen Tai started out as the elected leader of a warlord army and from there built up the state of Western Wei. Like Cao Cao, Yuwen Tai was not an emperor during his own lifetime, but ruled behind a series of puppet emperors. After his death, his son received the abdication of the last Wei emperor, founding the state of Northern Zhou.
Chapter 01
Chapter 02
I know this is a bit outside the main area of interest for most people on this board, and the translation has quite a few rough patches, especially in the longer speeches and quotations, but I hope this might still be of interest to some.
As source text I used the online ctext version
Suggestions for improvements are of course welcome.

The AAFP has long urged public and private payers to adopt a blended payment model that rewards primary care physicians for coordinating and managing patient care. Now, CMS and its Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, or CMMI, have joined the movement with the launch of a new initiative -- the Comprehensive Primary Care initiative(www.innovations.cms.gov). The initiative will allow CMS to work with commercial and state health insurance plans to support primary care practices that deliver coordinated and seamless care based on the tenets of the patient-centered medical home, or PCMH.
"The AAFP applauds the Comprehensive Primary Care initiative announced by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation," said AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., of Spokane, Wash., in a prepared statement. "This program is an important breakthrough in reforming our health care policy -- focusing our system on patients' needs, ensuring their access to primary care and helping control the cost of health services."
The voluntary initiative will begin as a demonstration project in five to seven health care markets across the country with about 75 primary care medical home practices participating in each market. In the selected markets, CMS and its partners will enroll participating practices in the initiative. The agency will pay these practices based on a blended payment model that combines fee-for-service with a per-patient, per-month care coordination fee ranging from $8 to $40. Participating practices also have an opportunity to participate in shared savings from the project.
To qualify to participate, practices have to meet several criteria, including the use of an electronic health record system or an electronic registry. In addition, they must serve as the first point of contact for patients while also providing ongoing care. Participating practices also are required to have at least 60 percent of their revenues generated by payers participating in the initiative.
"Too often today, we penalize primary care professionals for spending time with patients, for going over test results on the phone, or sitting down to create a plan to help a patient lose weight or manage their cholesterol," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius during a Sept. 28 press call announcing the new initiative. "Under the new program, that will change."
- CMS is launching a new initiative that will support primary care practices that deliver coordinated and seamless care by enlisting public and private payers to initiate a blended payment system.
- The AAFP, which has long called for such a blended payment model, is praising the Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative as an important breakthrough in reforming the nation's health care policy.
- The new initiative "will further demonstrate that patient outcomes improve and costs are saved when the health care system values primary care," said AAFP President Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I.
Richard Baron, M.D., director of the seamless care models group in the CMMI, said during the call that CMS will request a letter of intent from insurers on Nov. 15 and will require a formal application by Jan. 17. "We will then convene community-level conversations with aligned payers, representatives of practices and consumer representatives to describe specifics of community strategy and alignment around quality measures," said Baron. CMS also will discuss implementation measures and the strategy for soliciting participating practices during these meetings.
CMS plans to launch the initiative with participating practices next summer.
According to Baron, one of the major goals of the initiative is to drive practice transformation. "What we are hoping for in launching this initiative is for the private sector to join CMS in designing new models that are aligned in a way that will accelerate and powerfully drive practice transformation."
He also called for a payment model that supports primary care in a way that promotes practice transformation. "The way CMS does payment now, and the way many insurers do it in the country now, is to pay for primary care in a fee-for-service payment system where the only thing that is paid for are (physician) visits," said Baron.
Stream noted that the PCMH can meet practice transformation goals because it "coordinates all the health services a patient may need -- be it preventive care; diagnosis and treatment of acute illness; or management of a complex, chronic condition." However, he added, "This way of providing care requires large investments in electronic health records; redesigned medical offices; and committed time for communication with subspecialists, pharmacists, hospitals, home care agencies and therapists.
"These services are vital to ensuring that patients get the right care from the right professional at the right time," said Stream. "But they have never been acknowledged in the way we pay for medical services. The blended payment approach in this initiative will correct this misaligned system."
Stream also said the new initiative "will further demonstrate that patient outcomes improve and costs are saved when a health care system values primary care by paying for all the services family physicians provide to their patients."

A sharp fall in building approvals is another sign the Reserve Bank of Australia should cut the cash rate at its monthly board meeting.
Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) on Tuesday showed a 7.6 per cent fall in residential building approvals in October.
National Australia Bank senior economist Spiros Papadopoulos said the figures added to the case for the RBA to cut the cash rate from its current level of 3.25 per cent at its December board meeting on Tuesday.
"Taken alone, absolutely, it suggests they should cut but I don't think it will be a deciding factor," he said.
The fall in approvals suggested residential construction would remain weak in at least the first half of 2013, Mr Papadopoulos said.
"It supports the story that dwelling investment is weak and will remain weak for the coming quarters next year," he said.
The ABS also released figures showing Australia's current account deficit widened to $14.9 billion in the September quarter, despite a rise in exports in real terms.
Mr Papadopoulos said the export figures would have a positive effect on official September quarter gross domestic product (GDP) figures to be released on Wednesday, though this would be offset by a two per cent fall in government spending in the quarter.
Macquarie senior economist Brian Redican said the main focus for the building approval figures is the fall in private sector house approvals, which, he says, is the best indicator of underlying demand.
"They are still well below the levels we saw at the start of the year," Mr Redican said.
"I think that underlines from our perspective one of the challenges for the Reserve Bank in terms of trying to get traction on the housing market, and for it to drive growth once mining investment has peaked."
Mr Redican said the main reason for the widening of the current account deficit was the recent fall in commodity prices.
"That's also the reason why mining investment plans are being pulled back," he said.
"The big fall in the terms of trade reversed that positive income effect over recent years and has also resulted in the blowout of the current account deficit."
Mr Redican says he expects the RBA to keep cutting the cash rate in the new year, on top of the expected quarter of a percentage point cut to be announced on Tuesday afternoon.
"Although the Reserve Bank has cut rates substantially over the past 12 months, it doesn't seem to have the same impact as previous rate cut cycles," he said.
"Rates are heading in one direction and that's down."
JP Morgan economist Stephen Walters said the wider current account deficit was the result of increased mining machinery imports, lower exports and falling commodity prices.
"The weak global economy means export volumes are down and also commodity prices are quite soft as well," he said.
"There's also the increase in imports given the capital spending boom that's going on in mining.
"A lot of the componentry is being imported, so that's blowing out the import side."
He said today's figures indicate foreign trade would add 0.1 percentage points to GDP growth, which was slightly firmer than expected.
But he said that would be offset by the government spending figures.
"We had an expectation of the net trade contribution being zero, so that adds a little to GDP for tomorrow," he said.
"But on the flip side... the government capital spending numbers were very, very weak, so that will shave quite a bit off GDP."
In reaction to today's figures, Mr Walters said he had downgraded his GDP growth estimate to 0.2 per cent from 0.3 per cent.

"Noah Baumbach has a knack for acute observation and a spirited cast to animate every twisted nuance." —Rolling Stone
This debut feature takes on post-college ennui, deftly chronicling a group of friends dodging life's encroaching responsibilities while parrying with self-assured references to Immanuel Kant and Friday the 13th. Baumbach's aptitude for snappy, culturally astute dialogue as well as languorous long takes set Kicking and Screaming apart from the contemporary wave of Gen X malaise films. Eric Stoltz and Parker Posey are invaluable in supporting roles, but the four leads—Josh Hamilton, Carlos Jacott, Chris Eigeman, and Jason Wiles—do the heavy lifting, appearing at once jaded and sympathetic. 1995, 35mm, 96 minutes.

Last revised 14:00 CET February 2, 2012.
Please send comments about this plan to the email@example.com developer mailing list (subscription info).The Target Management Project provides data models, frameworks and tools for working with remote computer systems. The main deliverable is the Remote System Explorer (RSE), a feature-rich integrated perspective and toolkit for seamlessly working on remote systems. Besides that, we deliver flexible, re-usable components for Networking and Target Management that run stand-alone or integrated with RSE.
In terms of interfaces to other Eclipse projects, we provide an Eclipse Filesystem (EFS) provider to allow remote resources be mapped into an Eclipse Workspace. The DLTK and CDT projects are other Eclipse projects known to integrate with Target Management. PTP and PDT can use TM services via the underlying DLTK and CDT layers. Several Eclipse Packages include TM (The Eclipse for Web package, for instance, includes the TM Terminal).Shortcut to Themes:
Release milestones will be occurring at roughly 6 week intervals, and will be aligned with the Juno Simultaneous Release train. Milestone names start with M3 in order to clarify this relationship.
3.4M6 (API Freeze)
3.4M7 (Feature Freeze)
The target date for availability of Target Management 3.4 is:
The Target Management Project 3.4 depends upon on the Eclipse Platform 4.2 or 3.8. For this release, the RSE sources will mostly be written and compiled against version 1.4.2 of the Java Platform APIs (i.e., Java 2 Platform, Release 1.4.2 SE), and designed to run on version 1.4.2 of the Java Runtime Environment, Standard Edition except for the following components, which are compiled on and running against Java 5: FTP, Telnet and Import/Export.
The Target Management deliverables will be tested and validated against a subset of the reference platforms listed in the Eclipse Platform 4.2 Project Plan (this list is updated over the course of the release cycle).
|Target Management Reference Platforms
|Operating system
|OS version
|Processor architecture
|Window system
|Java 2 Platform
|Microsoft Windows XP
|x86 32-bit
|IBM Java 6 SR9
|Microsoft Windows 7
|x86 64-bit
|Oracle Java 6 Update 27
|Red Hat Enterprise Linux
|WS 5 update 6
|x86 64-bit
|Oracle Java 6 Update 27
for Linux x86
|SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop
|x86 64-bit
|Oracle Java 6 Update 27
|Apple Mac OS X (Secondary, see below)
|Universal 64-bit
|Apple Java 10.6 Update 5
Apple Mac OS X 10.5 is considered a "secondary" Reference Platform meaning that it does receive some amount of systematic testing but doesn't enjoy quite the same priority for bug fixes as the other Platforms.
Eclipse and Target Management undoubtedly run fine in many operating environments beyond the reference platforms we test. However, since we do not systematically test them we cannot vouch for them. Problems encountered when running Target Management on a non-reference platform that cannot be recreated on any reference platform will be given lower priority than problems with running Target Management on a reference platform.
Although untested, Target Management should work fine on other OSes that support the same window system. For more details, see the Eclipse Project Plan 4.2 Reference Platforms.
The Datastore protocol is the default protocol shipped with RSE for accessing remote file systems, process info and shells. It requires a Datastore server (agent) running on the remote system. This Datastore agent is shipped as plain Java Source Code together with the RSE distribution. It should run fine on any Java Platform, with additional Data Miner Plug-ins that may be OS specific.
We will test and verify the Datastore agent on the following Reference Platforms, which are a subset of the Platforms we test the RSE UI on:
The Remote System Explorer is designed as the basis for internationalized products. The user interface elements provided by the RSE components, including dialogs and error messages, are externalized. The English strings are provided as the default resource bundles. The default bundles will be localized to a subset of those locales offered by the Platform. This plan will be updated to indicate which locales will be provided and the timeframe for availability.
Target Management 3.4 will be backward compatible with TM 3.3.
API Contract Compatibility: Target Management 3.4 will be compatible with TM 3.3 as per the constraints documented in the TM 3.3 API Docs.
Binary (plug-in) Compatibility: Target Management 3.4 will be binary compatible with TM 3.3.
Source Compatibility: Target Management 3.4 will likely not be source compatible with TM 3.3.
Workspace Compatibility: We intend to keep Target Management 3.4 upwards workspace-compatible with TM 3.3 unless noted. This means that workspaces and projects created with TM 3.3 can be successfully opened by Target Management 3.4 and upgraded to a 3.4 workspace. This includes especially TM 3.3 connection definitions, which may propagate between workspaces via file copying or team repositories. User interface session state may be discarded when a workspace is upgraded. Downward workspace compatibility is not supported. A workspace created (or opened) by a product based on TM 3.4 may be unusable with a product based on TM 3.3.
APIs published for the Target Management 3.4 release will be carefully reviewed prior to release, making use of "internal" packages for unsupported and variable implementation classes. Client plug-ins that directly depend on anything other than what is specified in the published API are inherently unsupportable and receive no guarantees about future compatibility. Refer to How to Use the Eclipse API for information about how to write compliant plug-ins.
Plan items listed below were defined according to contributor requirements, but in accordance with the Target Management Use Cases Document and the Eclipse Themes and Priorities set forth by the Eclipse Requirements Council. Each plan item covers a feature or API that is to be added to the Target Management deliverables, or some aspect of the Target Management Project that is to be improved. Each plan item has its own entry in the Eclipse bugzilla database, with a title and a concise summary (usually a single paragraph) that explains the work item at a suitably high enough level so that everyone can readily understand what the work item is without having to understand the nitty-gritty detail.
Not all plan items represent the same amount of work; some may be quite large, others, quite small. Although some plan items are for work that is more pressing than others, the plan items appear in no particular order. See the corresponding bugzilla items for up-to-date status information on ongoing work and planned delivery milestones.
The current status of each plan item is noted:
For the constantly growing TM code size and committer base, it is important to have a reliable but easy-to-use release engineering system. Required features include automatic signing and adoption of Orbit, easy promoting to the Eclipse Servers and Juno, running automated unit tests with automatic reporting of test failures to the mailing lists, ability and description for running the releng build on any adopter's system. We intend to adopt Tycho as the de-facto standard build system at Eclipse in this release, and have our main builds run on the Eclipse Hudson instance. In bugzilla, items related to this theme are tagged with "[releng]" in the Summary (query: all [releng] open).
As the TM Codebase is growing, it is important to secure its functionality with unit tests against regressions. Since large portions of RSE especially are UI code, there should be an automated UI test suite run every night. Tests should automatically run on all supported host platforms against all supported target platforms. Adopters should be able to run a TM test suite on their own systems easily, and configure it for sanity checking or compliance testing their own connector plug-ins. In bugzilla, these items are tagged with "[testing]" in the Summary (query: all [testing] open).
Eclipse 4.2 is the designate mainstream of Eclipse Platform development. The TM project is committed to developing, running and testing on the Eclipse 4.2 platform, and fixing defects as they are discovered. In bugzilla, items related to Eclipse 4.x migration are tagged with "[4x]" in the Summary (query: all [testing] open).
Bug fixes for improved robustness, stability and usability are part of ongoing maintenance. Besides that, here are some larger features and bugs that we plan to address in the next release cycle until 3.4 M7, but are not categorized into one of the themes above. <br> In order not to overload the project plan with less important items, only those marked with a "plan" keyword will be added to the project plan. The pool of known items to add to the plan can be found from the associated queries (query: all open committed, proposed, deferred ).
The TM team uses Eclipse Bugzilla for all it's planning. Based on the plan item queries listed above, the following consistency queries should never return any results:

Living Room With Stone Fireplace
A stone fireplace with a rough-hew wood mantel is the center of this living room. Blue and brown chairs and an ottoman harmonize with the subdued tones of the room.

Airstream Trailer Bedroom
Artist Lacy Van Court's airstream trailer features light wood paneling and colorful bedding. Two windows flank the bed and provide natural light and airflow, while two glass orb sconces offer lighting at night. A wall-mounted TV is positioned beside the privacy curtain.
Airstream Interior With Small Kitchen
Artist Lacy Van Court designed this airstream trailer with a love of natural wood paneling. The small kitchen space packs in a ton of functional areas, from the wooden countertops with a small fridge below, to a large glass door cabinet with lots of storage for kitchen necessities.
Vintage Travel Trailer Exterior
Artist Lacy Van Court's fleet of vintage travel trailers includes this Spartan Double Ender. Inside and out, the trailer will be lovingly restored, modernized and more energy efficient.
Toothbrush Sanitizing Light
If you store your toothbrush on your bathroom vanity near your toilet, it probably has fecal matter on it - gross! Keep a UV light sanitizer next to your sink to clean the head of your toothbrush.
Room to Roam
"I wanted a space where people could chat," says Tin of her home's ground floor design, with the kitchen on one side open to the living room on the other end. An open steel staircase in the middle of the space continues the airy feel. Tin found the chandelier in her kitchen in Paris.
View to a Thrill
The staircase leading to the third-story roof deck is defined by a gorgeous chandelier, one of many in Tin's home.
Tall Tale
Tin's home is only 13 feet wide and 1280 square feet but feels open and airy thanks to Tin's reliance on pared-back furnishings, clean shades of white, light wood floors and a multitude of windows.
A Quiet Palette
The second guest bedroom offers a restful aesthetic of a different sort. The pastel walls and bright orange floral curtains give the space a whimsical feel. It's a calmer side of the home's decor, evoking a seaside cottage rather than a beachside resort. For Ariene, creating different looks is part of the fun. The constant search for the perfect piece is what keeps her on the move. "I own a vintage shop so I'm always traveling and picking up things," she says.
A Retreat for Guests
Guest rooms are often catchalls for things that don't quite go with the rest of the house. But Ariene has designed her guest suite to be a full-on retreat for anyone staying with her. The blue walls, sand-colored carpet and wood furnishings create an island feel that's supported by the palm leaf art and canopy bed. Colorful textiles throughout the space keep the color palette lively and add to the tropical aesthetic.
Paintings in the Powder Room
When asked about her favorite space in the home, Ariene is quick to answer, saying, "Right now it's my powder room." And it's all because of the color. "I've been dying to use this color for a project and decided to use it myself." Taking a cue from the painting she wanted to have in the space and a weekend to do the project herself, Ariene created this stunning powder room full of art, energy and fun.
Global Design in Every Room
The master bedroom is the boldest of the bedroom suites. Like the rest of the home, it has been designed reflect Ariene's eclectic tastes while inviting guests on a unique visual journey. "I love that our home reflects our love of culture and family," she says. "I've used art, masks, objects and coffee table books to tell the story of who we are and what's important to us."
The Heart of the Home
At the top of the stairs, twin doors open on a small parlor space dominated by large paintings and beautiful velvet furniture. The furniture belonged to Ariene's mother, and remains in the same perfect condition that it was purchased in in the 1960s. "I get my love of design from my mom," Ariene reflects. "She taught me to buy once and buy well."
A Space Apart
Originally the home's dining room, Ariene's office is a place for her to work, reflect and create. But getting the space into it's current shape wasn't easy. "The hardest part of designing my home was turning my dining room into a home office without it looking a like an office," she remembers. Earlier iterations of the room included yellow walls, followed by white stripes before becoming completely white. "The layouts changed as my business grew. It's more of a workspace now, since I've opened my shop and now have a dedicated office there."
Leaning into Leopard
Ariene continues to demonstrate her fearless dedication to pattern with a complete set of leopard-print chairs around the dining table. As always, she blends them seamlessly into the overall decor of the home by creating connections all throughout the open plan living-dining room space. Color connections can be seen as far away as the brass-framed artwork on the living room wall, and as far up as the chandelier over the living area. Thematically, the chairs are echoed by the leopard-themed vase that sits on the dining room table.
The Perfect Entryway
Ariene describes what was then a newly built, 3,100 square foot, 4-bedroom home as "craftsman-ish," blending modern and classic elements. The home welcomes guests with an entryway that is a clear statement of what matters to the people who live here. A beautiful collection of objects occupies and sits atop the Chinese-style cabinet, which is flanked on both sides by images of iconic African American musicians. The walls and welcome mat promise more color and pattern to come.
Maximalism 101
The living room is a visual treat, but there are some very functional decisions at the core of this fashionable layout. "I knew I wanted to be able to see the TV from the kitchen," Ariene remembers, "which meant there would be two focal points in the room - the TV and the fireplace." To make it work she designed the room around two sofas, with each facing a separate focal point. "This also created a natural walkway and room for custom cabinets," she says.
Objet d'Art
Ariene's love of material culture is present in every part of her home. Every wall is decorated with photos and paintings; every flat surface features stacks of books and statues - sometimes on top of each other. All the while Ariene's refined sense of balance and layering - a style she describes as "sophisticated bohemian" - keeps the space from feeling overwhelming.

"Aren't you old for a haunted house?" asked one of the androgynous seasonal residents of a nondescript warehouse deep in Morton Grove. His/her job, clearly, was to taunt Saturday night visitors to the Halloween attraction Fear City, so that insult goes with the territory. Had this ghost of Riverview stopped there, I'd have been fine. But no. "I was feeling horny," he/she said, cackling for added effect, "until you walked in."
Well. Some of life's horrors, clearly, don't end on Oct. 31.
But Halloween will be the last day for a remarkable new walk-though attraction that goes far, far beyond the typical theme-park, chain-saw grottoes or the suburban warehouses full of fake fog and cliched gore. You may have seen scarier haunted houses than Fear City — although, on several occasions, I jumped halfway to the ceiling — but I very much doubt you seen a more artful or fully realized Halloween milieu.
Fear City, which was built from scratch by Charles Grendys (the owner of the movie-building shop, Big City Sets) and Jim Lichon (an Emmy-winning set decorator for Harpo Studios) is intended as a walk through Chicago, some time after the apocalypse. Both these men clearly raided their warehouses, and then some. The settings are spectacularly detailed. You start your journey on an "L "train — a moving, life-size "L" train complete with a full-on CTA station so unpleasant that it could give the real Clark and Division stop on the Red Line a run for its money in matters horrific — and from there you arrive at a truly dizzying succession of virtual, iconic Chicago locales, all deftly twisted for the season.
And there is wit. Much wit. At Wrigley Field, a hungry goat is snacking on the entrails of a Cubs player. At Midway Airport, you board a plane — a life-sized plane, motion, descending oxygen masks and all — with a flight attendant even less focused on customer service than you'll find at Southwest.
There is a mothballed City News stand, where the denizens are decrepit (which was strike two against this entire enterprise). There is a trip to the West Loop meatpacking district, and I ain't talking high-end restaurants with pretentious chefs, unless you're talking chefs appearing on their own menus. There is a visit to the kind of Cook County medical clinic that board president Toni Preckwinkle might want to publicize when she's next talking about the grave dangers of injudicious budget cuts.
And — this was my personal favorite — you pay a visit to the living room of a home somewhere in the bungalow belt when nothing has been thrown away in years and the television set is perennially tuned to QVC. The guy in the La-Z-Boy is a real charmer.
Those are merely the bones of a truly remarkable enterprise (not for pre-teens, by the way). It takes the best part of an hour to experience everything and everyone, all depending on how long it takes you to emerge from the several psychedelic mazes therein (I had to be rescued from one, after hitting many minutes of solid walls). On several occasions, Fear City departs from its basic movie-set-like theme and immerses its customers in a sea of laser-punctured white, or floats them in some weird dream or other. Thankfully, though, nobody human touches you. Can't speak for the live rat.
Since leaving Fear City, I've spent some quality, child-motivated time in several of those Halloween pop-up stores, where the aesthetic pallet is a tad, well, limited. Not so Fear City, where Halloween ranges far more widely. You'll likely have to range a bit to find this joint — if it were in the city, Fear City would clean up. Then again, I remember a Lincoln Park haunted house created by Collaboraction Theatre Company in 2003 (it was good, but not in the same realm as Fear City) that opened up for about one night before real city inspectors closed it down. In Morton Grove, the police were waving folks in. Revenge against Chicago was taken inside.
Open 7 p.m. daily through Oct. 31, 8240 N. Austin St., Morton Grove; tickets $25-$35 at fearcitychicago.com

It's like the Miss America pageant, only sweaty and with bees.
At this beauty contest, the height of sartorial splendor is a wide-brimmed hat to keep off the sun. Monday saw the 2012 Evaluation Day at the Colorado State University Annual Flower Trial Garden. A crowd of more than 100 flower-industry folk, volunteer evaluators and staff from the department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, most of them toting clipboards or cameras, descended on the flower garden at 1401 Remington St., just west of the CSU Center for the Arts.
The flowers were ready for their close-up. Salvias, petunias, mandevillas, geraniums, marigolds, impatiens, new sun-loving impatiens, portulacas – 1,013 total varieties, all lined up in flower-packed beds to be scrutinized and compared on this one hot, sunny day (the last merciful cloud had vamoosed by 10:30 a.m.).

Snowman and Deer in Winter, DIY Diamond Painting KIt
(30 centimeters is approximately 12 inches)
DIY Diamond Paintings are a new popular craft, the steps are simple and the product is beautiful! Diamond Paintings also make great gifts! The production process of creating a Diamond Painting is simple and relaxing. (Children should be supervised because of small parts.)
Everything you need to complete your Diamond Painting is included. We include a canvas, tool kit, and resin beads/diamonds you need to complete your project.
When you receive your Diamond Painting, open the box and sort the diamonds into containers; mark the containers with color number and symbol printed on the side of the canvas. Pick up a small amount of the wax with the metal end of the drill pen. The wax makes the end of the pen tacky enough to pick up beads.
Pour some beads/diamonds into the grooved drill tray. Shake the tray gently so that some of the beads line up in the grooves with the flat side down. Pull back a small section of the protective cover. Pick up the beads one by one and place them on their corresponding symbol. Repeat these steps until the picture is complete.
You will need to refill the wax on the end of the pen from time to time when it loses its stickiness. Try to keep the beads close together and not overlap them.
DO NOT REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COVER FROM THE WHOLE PICTURE. The cover protects the adhesive from accumulating dust, hair and fuzz. Avoid touching the adhesive and getting dust, hair, and fuzz to keep the adhesive strong to hold the beads. This product does not include a frame, it is a DIY kit with a rolled canvas. Purchase a frame separately. Due to lighting and screen differences you may find that the item's color may be slightly different from the pictures. We also have the option to customize a diamond painting with your own picture! Please contact us for details. If any parts for your kit are missing we are happy to help replace them.
Please be aware the shipping times average 30-60 days.

At RBC Group we recognise the importance of strategic fleet management, specifically printer fleet audits, to your organisation's bottom line. This strategy involves managing your fleet of printers, photocopiers and multifunctional devices, so that the process is streamlined, automated and cost effective.
A centrally managed print fleet helps to save you both time and money and increases productivity across your organisation. At RBC Group, a print cost analysis strategy is one of our specialist offerings, which is customised to your organisational needs, configured in real time and gives you the power to respond immediately to any changes.
There are four key areas where a printer fleet audit can be of benefit to your organisation:
· Reducing costs: A fleet of mismatched printers, photocopies and multifunctional machines all from different manufacturers is both inefficient and wastes valuable time and money. They all require different hardware, supplies, services and repairs, all of which results in wasted time and higher costs.
A printer fleet audit however, helps to optimise your printing services by not only reducing costs, but also by centralising, updating and integrating your printing services.
· Reducing your carbon footprint: Many organisations have an assortment of outdated printing machines which heavily consume large amounts of paper, toner and electricity.
A print cost analysis can help to reduce your carbon footprint by a variety of means, including document digitalisation, upgrading and removing unnecessary machines, using multifunction devices and centralising your printing services.
· Productivity is increased: Employees spend a substantial amount of time walking between their desk and the printing room or delivering printed documents to their destination. Productivity is also reduced by the amount of time printers become jammed, run out of paper or toner and need to be serviced or repaired.
With a print cost analysis, cost effective changes can be made so that employees spend less time waiting for printers to be fixed or serviced and less time walking to the printing room. This is because we can implement an automatic servicing schedule, a preventative maintenance strategy and an automatic restocking and supply program that will increase the uptime of your printers, resulting in increased employee productivity.
· IT time is better managed: An inefficient printing infrastructure can heavily impact your IT department, requiring them to spend an endless amount of time attending to jammed and inoperative printers. Calls to multiple vendors to fix mechanical problems or to update software wastes their valuable time, which could be better spent on more strategic matters.
A printer fleet audit can ensure that IT personnel are better utilised in your organisation. They are specialists in their field and it doesn't make economic sense to use them to clear paper jams or log service calls. A real time print cost analysis, will help you to free IT staff to focus on specialist tasks related to your core business initiatives, increasing productivity and reducing IT costs.
At RBC Group we automate many of the processes involved with a fully functioning and efficient printing service. We help to identify the under or over utilisation of printers, update and remove inefficient machines, set up scheduled servicing, automate supply deliveries, as well as various other functions that streamline your printing services.
One of the biggest costs to organisations stems from their printing services, but with an effective management plan in place, these costs can be dramatically reduced.
At RBC Group we work with you to reduce these high costs and inefficiencies by taking over the supply and management of your print fleet. Our strategic fleet management plans are customised to your organisational goals and encompass machine servicing, equipment upgrades, installations or removals, as well as scheduled maintenance and the supply of consumables.
The RBC Business Solutions fleet management plan for your print consumables includes the installation of customised software, which automatically keeps an accounting of stock levels and automates deliveries on time and when needed.
This automation takes the pressure off staff needing to constantly inventory stock levels, by organising deliveries before printers run out of toner and photocopy paper, for example. It also eliminates the need to move stockconsumables from one printing room to another, because one area has run out of photocopy paper.
With a streamlined fleet management plan, your printing needs will be centralised, your machines updated and printer consumable stock levels kept current.
RBC Group removes the worry and the stress that arises from printers constantly breaking down or becoming jammed and photocopy paper always running out.
With a fleet of well-maintained and updated multifunction printing devices, preferably all from the same manufacturer and of a compatible design, the variety of consumables that you need to keep on hand is dramatically reduced.
This is because having the same machine in multiple locations throughout your organisation, means that they all use the same consumables, so you don't need 10 different toners on hand. Of course, this is the ideal situation and many organisations have a variety of different printing machines from a handful of different manufacturers.
At RBC Business Solutions we manage and supply all of your printing consumables, regardless of how many different machines and brands you have across your organisation. We have access to an extensive range of printing consumables, suitable for a large range of printers and multifunction machines.
It doesn't matter if your printers are all different, because RBC Business Solutions manage and control yourconsumable stock levels, across your entire organisation.
Scheduled deliveries that keep your consumables topped up at all times, takes a huge amount of stress away from the IT and the administration departments. Staff are also better able to complete their workloads, knowing that the printers are well maintained and supplied.
Once your printing fleet is optimised and running well, productivity will begin to increase as staff are at last free to focus on their core activities within your organisation.
With the installation of your automated delivery software, you will receive an ongoing supply of all your printing needs for your entire fleet of printing machines, across your whole organisation.
We can supply consumables for your existing machines or we can also perform a print environment audit and customise your printing fleet to be more efficient and cost-effective.

I've been asked a few times about doing a Photography Guide for beauty bloggers, about using the camera and posing too, so I've rumbled something together for you.
Hopefully you will find some tips to help you get better pictures for your blog or personal use!
Ya ready? Then let's learn the things Richard Avedon would never have taught you.
1. Do the dour duckface
Every self respecting beauty blogger needs to perfect the dour duckface.
What is the dour duckface?
Its the instant non chalant, sex-bomb look.
We remove any trace of happiness or joy from our face, then stick those lips down and out to create the infamous duck lips.
Now – some of us are better at this than others. I've noticed that you can stick your lips out better the thinner they are – they sit flatter so you may want to remove those collagen lip implants to truly pull this off.
Step 1.
Learn to purse your lips. We naturally purse their lips when we are thinking about someone or something which has much displeased us.
"Did that bitch just copy my idea again?" *purses lips*
Man = "Do you want to go back for that lipstick?"
Beauty Blogger = "No. Its fine." *purses lips*
Here I am demonstrating a mild lip purse – its important to practise this move a few times to make sure you aren't just POUTING, and that you are PURSING.
But this is not enough. We need to add more sour to the puss. Continue thinking about what you were thinking about then imagine the worst case scenario…see how your lips naturally want to do…*that*?
For me, this is enough duck to the face – you may want to further push your lips out if you want to make yourself look more socially aware or sexually available.
Remember – you want the shape of the lip to be flat and to push down slightly like a quack quack duck. You may want to use a small mirror to make sure the angle is correct and take some test shots to make sure the level of ducking is enough.
Add Fingers…
Any self respecting sex bomb or Asian girls knows she has to add two meaningless fingers to the side of her cheek for instant appeal.
This does not make you look like a vain, insipid idiot. This will not make you look like a pre-pubescent child who still wears a training bra. No. This makes you look…cute. Like Hello Kitty.
As you can see, my nails are a fail as they aren't adorned in some garish nail polish and stuck on jewels but forgive me – I was too busy practising my pout.
Duck Face a Go Go
2. Screw Composition
Framing properly is for losers. There's no need to make sure your your subject is in the centre of the picture so people can actually see what you are photographing, or even neatly to the side of the picture.
Be random and wild – people don't need to know what they are looking at.
For example –
Keep the mystery up levels up – keep them guessing.
This next photo, taken to demonstrate the texture of a new eyeshadow, is also very effectively framed:
Frame wisely, frame well
3. Unfocus everything
In the old days, photographers used to say that something called focusing was important. I say – poppycock!
Super blurry photographs give a sense of engima – and that is just what we want.
Wrong – this picture is too in focus:
Now it looks more like…something:
Same goes for eyes. This is too stark:
This picture – like the cover of a Japanese Horror DVD is just perfect.
4. If in doubt, brighten and lighten
Every self respecting budding photographer needs the services of Photoshop or a similar, cheaper photo editing software. One of the most useful functions for us is the brighten and contrast tools.
In order to make out skin look smoother, we're going to go through the perfect, totally natural technique.
Start with a photograph (see how the lips are pursed?).
This picture is for too human toned. We want to lighten the skin to add more clarity to it. We want to looking like angels that have just come down to earth for a brief visit.
Use the slider and push up the brightness a little until you get this:
See how our skin is already looking smoother? Who needs skincare and sleep – Photoshop will fix everything!
Let's add more
Yep – once again the skin is looking more and more
alien like smooth and model like.
But we haven't taken this far enough – I feel we still need more skin smoothing effects.
Here I've added more brightness and some contrast.
This is perfect:
As you can see, my skin is as flawless as ever – my radiance has been reflected.
This is particularly useful if you need a picture for an online dating site because your date will be extremely happy when he realises that you do have a nose and mouth in person.
5. Get the cat to do it
If in doubt, pass the gauntlet to your beautiful fluff ball – I do. And did you even notice she was reviewing mascara for me? No.
The only issue is that cats don't have thumbs so it can be tricky to hold the camera and take a picture.
I would suggest getting two cats so one can hold the camera with his/her paws whilst the other takes a photo. Or, let them take a self portrait:
Be careful though – cats have a habit of dipping their paws in everything.
Hopefully that tutorial would have been useful for you – do let me know what you think in the comments 🙂
