Preview some of the art for our next show
We probably shouldn't but we're so excited about the artists in our Configuration show we wanted to show off a little. Here is a mask by Dottie Korn Davis and below is a link to a few of the other artists' pieces. Just a taste...
Of course you still need to come to the gallery and see them all -- and meet the artists on January 19th.
The Reception is 6:30-9:00 p.m. See you there?

The Microsoft Xbox 360 wireless headset can be auto-tuned to work with your system. Wired headsets plug into the Xbox 360 controller and correspond to the port the controller they are attached to is assigned. Wireless controllers do not have to be plugged in, which allows for a greater range of movement when you are enjoying your console video games. Once you have set up your wireless headset, every time you turn it on it will automatically calibrate to its previous settings.

Turn on the Xbox 360. If it's not on, press the power button on the front of your game console. The power button is the largest button on the front of the system.
- 2
View the light on your wireless headset. If one of the lights is already illuminated, your headset is already on. If necessary, press the power button located on the centre of the back of your headset to activate it.
- 3
Press the "Connect" button on the front panel of your Xbox 360. It is a small button about the width of a pencil located to the bottom right of the disc tray. Your game system will wait for a signal from your headset.
- 4
Hold down the "Connect" button on the front of your headset for one to two seconds. It is located between the earpiece and the row of four lights on the front of your headset. The row of four lights will begin flashing to let you know that you have held the button down long enough. The Xbox and headset will automatically communicate and assign the headset to match the frequency of the first available game controller slot.
- 5
Press the headset "connect" button again to change the game controller slot the headset is assigned to. Each time you press the button the light will cycle on the headset, showing you which port is assigned to your wireless headset.

- Charge your headset completely before using it for the first time.
- Reboot the Xbox 360 system if the headset does not initially connect.

Microarray Pitfalls Stem Cell Network Microarray Course, Unit 3 October 2006
Goals To provide some guidelines on Affymetrix microarrays: –How to use them –How not to use them –Things to keep in mind when designing experiments and analyzing data This is a general discussion of issues and is by no means exhaustive
Inconsistent Annotations Affymetrix provided probeset annotations change over time The gene symbol associated with a given probeset is not necessarily stable This is due to changes in gene prediction as new information becomes available.
Inconsistent Annotations (2) Perez-Iratxeta, C. and M.A. Andrade. 2005. Inconsistencies over time in 5% of NetAffx probe-to-gene annotations. BMC Bioinformatics. 6, 183. –5% of probesets have gene identifiers that change over the two year time span covered by this analysis An inconsistently annotated probeset
Inconsistent Annotations (3) How do we deal with this? –Always note annotation version used in analysis especially when it is for publication –Report probeset name as well as gene symbol –Remember that re-analysis with later annotations may yield different results –Keep your annotation files up to date
Old chips, new data Expression microarrays are designed based the best available model of the genome of interest The model for the HG-U133 microarrays was a human genome assembly that was only 25% complete! The human assembly is >99% complete now
Old chips, new data (2) How do we deal with this? –A number of groups provide re-mappings of probes to probesets based upon the latest data available, for example: Dai M, et al. Evolving gene/transcript definitions significantly alter the interpretation of GeneChip data. Nucleic Acids Res. 2005;33:e175
Multiple Testing Corrections A single expression microarray experiment actually consist of hundreds of thousands of simultaneous parallel experiment This means you can test many hypotheses simultaneously This is not free: the significance of any given result is decreases as a function of the number of hypotheses tested
Multiple Testing Corrections (2) How do we deal with this? –Limit the number of hypothesis you are testing instead of just 'fishing' in the whole data set. –Do this by selecting a set of candidate genes ahead of time based on your knowledge of the biology of the system.
Multiple Testing (3) Sandrine Dudoit, Juliet Popper Shaffer and Jennifer C. Boldrick Multiple Hypothesis Testing in Microarray Experiments Statistical Science 2003, Vol. 18, No. 1, 71–103 –"The biological question of differential expression can be restated as a problem in multiple hypothesis testing: the simultaneous test for each gene of the null hypothesis of no association between the expression levels and the responses" Talk to a statistician if you have doubts
Not everything is in the array Probesets are designed with a bias towards the 3' end of the gene. they won't distinct splice variants won't pick up alternative 3' endings
Not everything is in the array (2) What can we do about this? –You should be aware of this, but not much can be done. –Use other technologies to complement your microarray results (PCR, sequencing)
What are you measuring? Remember that you are detecting the average mRNA over a population of cells. Is your sample homogenous? If it's not homogenous then what are you measuring? How many types of cells in what state? Time series of differentiating cells are particularly problematic.
Inhomogenous Samples? Many sources of inhomogeneity –Source organism gender –Cell cycle –Tissue source –Diet Some can be eliminated All should be documented where possible
Chips don't detect protein Central assumption of microarray analysis: The level of mRNA is positively correlated with protein expression levels. –Higher mRNA levels mean higher protein expression, lower mRNA means lower protein expression Other factors: –Protein degradation, mRNA degradation, polyadenylation, codon preference, translation rates,….
Conclusion This is a general discussion of issues, doesn't cover all pitfalls. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any comments, corrections or firstname.lastname@example.com See associated bibliography for references from this presentation and further reading.

55-64 year old woman treated with Liquid Facelift
We used a combination of fillers and botox for this patient who wanted to get rejuvenated for her upcoming daughters wedding. This photo was taken one day after the treatment. she had a few bruises that she covered up but as you can see everything is lifted and full. Her brow is high and opens her eyes. Her forhead is smooth, cheeks and tear troughs are full and not depleted. No more pesky bags. Her lips and mouth area are full and sexy.

In a series of compromise changes to its controversial Mental Health Bill, the Government will curb the use of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) on teenagers and ensure they do not have to share wards with adults, who are often disturbed and dangerous.
As the Bill reaches a crunch phase in the Commons, amendments will mean no child under 18 will be givenECT without a second opinion from a doctor. Children must also be treated in an environment appropriate for their age.
The U-turns follow criticism from a powerful coalition of mental health charities, psychiatrists, MPs and peers, who tore apart the Bill with a series of amendments. The Independent on Sunday has highlighted opposition to the Bill for five years.
Ministers are said to be ready for a "dog fight" over parts of the Bill they refused to compromise on, such as the definition of mental illness. The Mental Health Alliance welcomed the changes but said the Bill was still "not fit for the 21st century".

Aisha Buhari, the wife of Nigerian leader, Muhammadu Buhari, is not backing down from her attacks on Mr. President which were publicised in her recent interview with the BBC.
In the viral interview, the 45-year-old mother of 5 who got married to President Buhari in 1989 blasted the latter for his style of leadership and pattern of appointments, however, the president replied in a press conference, saying that his wife "belongs to the kitchen" and "the other room (bedroom)" and should stay out of politics.
When questioned over her initial comments on Sunday 16 October 2016, Mrs. Buhari reportedly told a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on phone:
"I have my own right to say how I feel about something."

You've ignore the fact the average position does not show what he takes up defensively. the the static position is a 4-2-3-1, as he does stand consistently ahead of Carrick. He covers more area going forwards, which pushes his average position on a graph higher up, but he defends and starts alongside Carrick. Whether Carrick sits or not doesn't change the fact that its a 4-2-3-1. They simply have slight different roles. Cleverly drives higher from alongside Carrick, but drops back there, he does not stay higher and make it a 4-1-1-3-1.
It's usually defined a 4-2-3-1, but you're going to call it something else entirely? Eh?
And Barca did sometimes play a 3-4-3 diamond shape last year, notably against against Milan.
either way im done on this particular topic.

BRICKS AND MORTALITY is the third Cotswold village mystery by Ann Granger, featuring Inspector Jess Campbell and Superintendent Ian Carter. It is sure to appeal to fans of Midsomer Murders. In the cold light of dawn, a dead body is found entombed in the smouldering remains of a burnt-out Cotswold manor.
Key House has stood empty for years, but its owner, Gervase Crown, is rumoured to have been seen in Weston St Ambrose prior to the blaze.
Could he be responsible for the fire and the tragic death that followed, or was he in fact the intended target?
As Inspector Jess Campbell and Superintendent Ian Carter begin their investigation it becomes clear that Gervase wasn't the most popular and his return reawakens old memories, not all of which are good.

blunt essays with sharp points
Bullying bill passes three years after student's suicide [link]
by ScrvpvlvsMay 5, 2008 9:20 AM–The link is to Naples (Florida) Daily News coverage of an anti-bullying measure which I read with interest.
After the article there are various comments by readers.
I became curious and read the bill at flsenate.gov. It became obvious that some of the comments were made by people who hadn't taken the time to do that.
The bill is not a substitute for existing laws against assault, theft, harassment, and other crimes.
The bill requires schools to act on reports of bullying and harassment instead of turning a blind eye. It tells schools what their minimum responsibility is.
As Wordofmouth (one of the commenters) points out, in schools, assault and harassment are often not prosecuted under existing law. Teachers and administrators already have a tough job, and they tend to under-investigate reports of behavior that in the real world would involve the police. "Kids will be kids," I've heard, and "he said, she said."
My daughter is currently a target for a group of bullies, who have learned that a good cover is to immediately report her as having done the very thing they did to her, and corroborate one another's stories. This is a classic "he said, she said" situation.
I sympathize with my daughter but also with the teacher. The teacher's priority is to restore order and get back to teaching.
But there is a cumulative effect of chronic teasing, threats, thefts, lies, humiliations, and destruction of property. Merely restoring order after a complaint is not an adequate remedy.
As her mom has said, in the real world, if someone makes a report, the police appear and make an investigation. We are doing both the victims and the perpetrators a disservice if the rule of law is suspended in schools.
Accordingly, the bill requires the schools to:
- tell students about bullying, how to report bullying, and what the consequences are for bullying and for false reports
- train employees and volunteers to identify, prevent, and respond to reports of bullying
- notify parents of each report (including where to pursue criminal charges against the perpetrators)
- regularly report to a victim's parents the actions taken to protect the victim
- refer victims and perpetrators for counseling
- report each incident to the state for statistical aggregation
My daughter's mom and I would like to see a similar bill made law in Texas.

And are just as likely to sink their fangs deep into someone who wasn't paying any attention and now has to deal with idea guts splattered all over the back of their leg and palm.
My unexpected idea bite came in the form of none other than a Cthulhu Barbie (hence the title of the post).
Now what follows is the long, meandering explanation for how I went about creating this monster and maybe I'll figure out why as I go. Crazier shit's happened.
It began, as it oddly rarely does, with a simple photoshop project (okay technically it began when my husband and I were looking at the weird collector Barbie doll options at Toys R Us, but that doesn't come with any pictures).
A random idea, I slapped together and tossed out into the wilderness of the internet to entertain a handful of people.
Or so I thought. Dun-dun-DUNN!!!!
Soon my little image was being tweeted and retweeted; peated and repeated. I wake up to find my mention column filled with people asking me if it's real, or assuming it is. I haven't had to anger so many nerds since that Nail Polish fiasco.
But then I got to thinking, this isn't like those armored Barbies, to pull this off I wouldn't need any kind of sewing skills (which is good, as mine are so nonexistent they're asymtoping backwards.)
The first step on this wild idea was to achieve one Barbie. I wanted one that was classic blonde hair/ blue eyes, long dress. This was actually kind of tricky.
There were a lot where she was a princess/ballerina/mermaid/dermatologist, but a simple canvas does not a fun toy make apparently.
Fear not, I lucked out in the clearance section with this supposed example of all that is wrong with womanhood, or something.
Doll Achieved, now the first step is tentacles.
Big surprise, but we already had wire in the house. I simply cut and twisted that into my preferred tentacle shape, then stuffed with batting (which was also laying around the house), and covered that first in cling wrap then scotch tape.
Now, out comes the latex. You might remember that stuff from oh every other tutorial I've ever given. It's pretty much the same here, dip paper towels in it, cover the tentacles in that. Let dry. Repeat.
The suction cups were a bit of brilliance on my part. Instead of making and driving myself insane with tiny dots I tried to adhere to all six tentacles, using a toothpick I simply placed a small drop on each tentacle and well you'll see later with the addition of paint how cool it turned out.
I used hot glue to attach the tentacles to Barbies naturally corseted midsection.
After that, I gritted my teeth, secured my wedding ring and dove elbow deep into the latex covering Miss Cthulhu in layer after layer of the stuff.
But before I can show a picture of that, I have to talk about her face tentacles. Because while Barbie with tentacles is weird, it's nowhere near disturbing enough (or accurate).
Enter a fresh set of wires, smaller (and from the jewelry section), I secured them with a piece of scotch tape and dipped them like a candle into the latex. Then I worked hard at typing with one hand while the other waited patiently for it all to dry.
Did I say patiently? I meant, bored out of my skull.
Now for the question of how to put the dry face tentacles above Barbie's top lip. Well there was only one truly good answer.
Pulling out my exacto knife, I embraced my plastic surgeon side, and made an incision just below her nose. After dropping the tiny tentacles a few times, I finally got them inserted and closed the wound with latex.
For the final layer of latex on the body, I wanted to make veiny, craggy, creepy skin. This is an old god who's been hanging out under the ocean sleeping. He's not gonna have the skin of a three year old.
You'll also see the first attempt at a test paint job on Barbie's face. Do try to ignore it as the important bits are on her body. Thank you.
Next comes my favorite part, painting. You can solve all problems with duct tape, hot glue, and paint. Except for a problem like Maria.
The first layer was black, always go dark first and work up to light. I wetted the blade, I mean brush, and turned my acrylics water color.
Once that dried (and it takes ever so long to wait), I added the next color a hunter deep green:
For the last I went with a light grass green that was also shiny (and for some reason from Martha Stewart, so I assume some pixie blood was mixed in for good measure).
This helped to finally mesh the different texture of the face with the rest of the body.
For the tentacles I painted the cuppy area with a light tan and then slowly, methodically outlined each suction cup with black. Yes it was tedious, but the other option was to watch Cupcake wars and I preferred tentacle painting 1000 to 1 each time.
Finally, I turned her eyes a nice homicidal red. And stuck the pink plastic necklace and crown she came with because I thought it was funny.
Nice, but it isn't Cthulhu without the wings.
Re-enter the wire. I had a crazy idea to try soldering the thing together. This led to a lot of cursing, the burning of a few fingers, and possibly a duck going through a window somewhere.
Eventually I abandoned that and used epoxy instead (what, you thought we only had one kind of adhesive in this house?). It always takes longer than 5 minutes but holds like a treat.
I coated the "bones" with latex to beef them up, then I steeled myself.
I wanted thin leathery wings. Thin enough you could easily see light through and the only way to accomplish that was kleenex.
I've latexed with Kleened before and on wings with my fairies. There are some that say that drove me mad, but they're the sane ones.
Eh, I'll skip the drama and say it worked fine. Lost a few tries but eventually I got two done and painted them.
I attached those with more hot glue, then covered that in latex (this Barbie is awesome at all 360 degrees).
And now here she is, Cthulhu Barbie is all her soul sucking form.
Cthulhu Glamor Shot
Check out the tentacle detail
I did my best to leave as much of the small articulation Barbie comes with. The arms still raise, the head mostly turns and still tilts and the legs and knees move as much as before.
You can use that to have her carry sticks to beat the nonbelievers.
A woman can never be scary, or terrifying, or even truly ugly even if that is the homage she wishes to make. She must at all times be in a state of giving men boners.
So...Cthulhu Barbie. If she disturbs you, I've done my job. Also, I love any excuse to play with latex.
Now to decide which evil monster I turn the blonde American princess into next.
I would be remiss not to thank all those out there in twitter land who encouraged this madness, all those Cthulhu fans who tweeted and shared the picture and hung on through each glimpse of the process.
And for the Nerd God Neil Gaiman who retweeted the photoshopped image and sent it off down the rabbit hole of twitter.
While I do love Cthulhu Barbie, I do not have the room for her so I'll be looking to sell her off to a good home.
She's surprisingly durable. Maybe not toddler durable, but then most lead safes aren't. But I have had her plummet a few times and come up with nary a scratch or bent tentacle.
Cthulhu Barbie, tell your friends.

Studied: BA Sports Management & Rugby StudiesRole: Community Rugby Coach, London Irish
From taking on a 6'5 prop to tackling my biggest challenge yet...
London Irish RFC is an English rugby union club who won their first major trophy in 2002. Playing in green and white, the club has a successful academy and a ground seating almost 25,000 people.
"Day-to-day, my role as a Community Rugby Coach involves delivering rugby programmes to schools and partner clubs and looking after match day coaching clinics and festivals. By helping me to connect with the community and network with the right people, my degree from Bucks helped me gain valuable experience and a foot into the industry.
"My time at Bucks New University also gave me a lot of experience, particularly in delivering rugby coaching and working with young people. I was able to work with professional partner rugby clubs during my degree, including London Wasps and Harlequins, to develop my skills as a rugby coach. As well as the wide variety of courses available, one of the great things about Bucks is the partnerships they have with corporate industries.
"Bucks has helped me develop as a person, not only in terms of professional skills, but by helping me explore my passion in life - rugby. My time at Bucks was a lot of fun, and certainly a lot of hard work. It's a great place to make new friends, and share ideas and advice.
"My biggest piece of advice for anyone studying at Bucks would be to find your own passion - whether music, sport, technology, whatever it is that you're interested in. There's so much going on."

So far so good for the New Year. I've been drawing more than ever and my work is encompassing not only my OZ passion project. I've been venturing out and trying different things, letting loose if you will. Over Christmas, I sat down at the dinner table and started doodling as much as I could. I put no limit to what came out of my head, just drew for fun... What a concept! This last month has been about finding the fun in drawing again. Often times it is easy to lose sight of what is important. I think it shows in ones work if the fun is lost. Not all drawings will be beautiful, but all drawings will matter one way or another. In the coming year I really hope to let go of my pride and allow myself to create. It is easy to get stuck in the trap of feeling that every bit of work one does should be a portfolio piece. In the intersession between portfolio work, these drawings can help make the good work far better. In addition to this, I've been finding that I can still satiate my hunger for detail by working it within the shapes that I create on the page. I've found a happy medium... I'm still finishing "The Silver Slippers"... It will be done soon enough! I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Incidentally, Square's refusal to give the world a English release made this one of the first games ever to get a full fan translation. Fortunately I don't need it though as Square eventually did give English speakers their own version of the game a decade later on the PlayStation.
Like the other PlayStation Final Fantasy ports, the game starts with a brand new, entirely superfluous CGI intro. Though I don't remember the other games starting out in deep space, with ominous music. I feel like I'm watching the start of an Alien movie.
Actually damn, now I want to see a big budget sci-fi action thriller with music by Nobuo Uematsu. Hollywood, steal my idea!
Ah there we go, back to dragons and castles. Actually I'm kind of all castled out after the last few Final Fantasies to be honest, but it's a nice looking shot.
Oh right, this may have hit Western shelves around the turn of the millennium, but Japan got the game much earlier and the CGI is definitely 1998 vintage. I mean it isn't bad for the time at all, maybe not at FF8's level, but a clear step above FF4 and FF7.
Not that it matters much in the end. I get the feeling somehow that the characters in this intro are based on the original concept art and so any resemblance to in-game persons, living or dead, will be purely coincidental.
Well I've finally reached the original SNES intro cutscene, and yep the princess from the video has pink hair now. Kinda makes the CGI intro feel a bit disconnected when the people in it are unrecognisable.
Anyway the King is going off to the Wind Shrine as its seems that the wind has gone a bit wonky lately and may need fixing. He commands his daughter to stay put and not try to follow him, and then flies from the top of the tower on the back of a dragon. So I guess she either has her own dragon somewhere or he's worried she'll take a running leap.
Cut to various other people across the land realising that the wind has disappeared, including this pink haired sailor. You know I think there may be another reason their ship has stalled (hint: both anchors are down).
And then just to add a little extra catastrophe to the crisis, a giant potato plummets from outer space, then steers itself across a Mode 7 map to crash down upon a specific spot.
Meanwhile, these two are camping nearby when they hear the impact. The man immediately leaps into the chocobo's mouth and... oh wait, I think that was supposed to be him jumping on top to ride it. Anyway they head off to find out what just happened.
But then I'm given control, so our heroes actually turn around and head in the exact opposite direction to the meteor. Hah! Your days of self determination are over my friend. From now on you are nothing but my puppet and your own goals are irrelevant.
Crap, there's nothing actually up here but a dead end. I suppose civilisation must be on the other side of the meteor impact crater. I can't even fight any random battles here as he won't get off the chocobo. Still, being railroaded into investigating a rock is much much better than being stuck inside a bloody maze of a castle, like at the start of Final Fantasy 4.
I suppose I'll go do what he wants and check out the crash site then.
OI! What the fuck do you two think you're doing? Cheeky goblins, trying to drag off the princess while she's unconscious. I'm not having any of that.
Well the Final Fantasy combat interface seems to be more or less how I left it in FF4, with a menu popping at the start of my character's turn to give me a choice between my available actions and whom I wish to act upon. Except now they've added an ATB bar to indicate when my character's next turn is coming up, which is handy. I'm not a big fan of the flashing box they put over my character to show who I'm controlling through, it just looks wrong somehow.
Oh and I'm playing as ? apparently: the main with no (default) name. Though I'm sure I can come up with something for him.
And so my hero Butz managed to rescue princess Reina (or Leena in every other version of the game), helped a poor amnesia victim called Galuf to his feet, and then bravely let the two of them go off and find the Wind Shrine on their own, while he got back to camping in the woods with his chocobo.
Hey, I guess the princess actually did try following the King after all, on foot. Well I wish her the best of luck with that save the world quest she'll inevitably end up roped into, but it's none of my business!
Well it turns out that I had literally nowhere else to go but the place they were going, so fate has once again forced me to be the hero.
I suppose playing Han Solo to her Princess Leia ain't so bad, though I'm not so happy about leaving my chocobo outside this cave. "Wait here" he says, as if he'll only be in there five minutes. The poor poor creature.
Wait, if I'm Han Solo, does that mean Boko is my Chewbacca or my Millennium Falcon? Or both?
Man I am so sick of caves in Final Fantasy games now. What I played of FF4 was basically castle, cave, town, cave, castle, cave, town, cave etc. and it got old after a while. Still, it's not a bad looking cave I suppose. Much more pleasing to the eye than FF4's art, which seemed to have one foot stuck in the NES era.
After a few random battles the cave led us straight into a pirate hideout, which Galuf sees as a good thing. After all, if they're pirates, they must have a boat to steal, right? What could possibly go wrong with that plan?
And then we got caught by the pirates and cast in irons. It seems that princesses are worth a bit of cash in ransom though, so at least weren't forced to take a long walk off a short plank.
By the way, I like how they've added some expressions to the characters. They're always laughing or freaking out and it's nice to play as someone who isn't stoic or miserable for once. Especially after FF4's Cecil, who seemed like he was ready to throw himself off the first bridge I came across.
Poor Galuf, memory's not his strong suit.
Fortunately Faris, the pirate captain, has a sudden change of heart and he decides to skip the ransom and take us all to the Wind Shrine instead. On a sail boat. When there's no wind.
OH I get it now, the boat's pulled by a sea dragon thing! Those aren't anchor chains, they're connected to a harness. Well that make more sense then.
Reina seems overly shocked by this for someone who's family keeps a pet dragon.
Right, now we're at the Wind Shrine we've got to go through the maze of hallways to find a crystal. Of course it had to be a crystal, it's always a crystal in these games.
Oh by the way, Faris's overly piraty manner of speech is found exclusively in the PlayStation Final Fantasy Anthology localization. He talks perfectly normally in the Japanese version.
The GBA version also has character portraits, which don't even try to match the actual sprites in the slightest. Different hairstyles, different colours, and Galuf doesn't even have a beard in his picture! You know, I don't think the people who ported this across had a great deal of respect for the sprite art in the game. I get the feeling they'd have changed all the sprites to match the concept art exactly if they had the time and money to spare.
BOSS FIGHT! Fortunately the bird's not that much of a challenge, as there's basically nothing I can do wrong at this point. I've got a full party now and I've gained a few levels, but each of my characters are still stuck with choosing either 'Fight' or 'Item', and it's not hard to figure which of them is going to do the most damage. Still, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to use up a couple of my tonics to keep Reina and Galuf healthy and in the fight.
Oh damn, the crystal exploded before we even got to it! Also Reina's father is a ghost now I guess.
Well that ain't no good, that means this world will be without wind forever! Still, on the bright side it turns out that we're the chosen ones (big surprise) and we can use the power of the crystal to get new character classes (just like in Final Fantasy 3).
Now I get to choose a class for each of my characters, such as Knight, Thief, Black Mage, Monk etc. to give them extra abilities. Finally I can do something other than just pressing 'Fight' each turn.
Plus every character has their own unique sprite for each class and I can switch between classes as much as I like, whenever I feel like. It even comes with its own tutorial to explain how it all works. Still waiting for the part where this becomes too inaccessible for average gamers.
Now that we've totally failed to save the Wind Crystal and Reina's father, we're off to sail the world and see what else we can fail at. There's three other crystals in danger, and we have to protect them or else the world will end up... well, basically in the state it is in at the start of Final Fantasy 1 now that I think about it.
The moral of the story is, don't rely on crystals to power your fundamental forces of nature. They're either going to go bad, get stolen by a miserable Dark Knight, or explode, and then your world is pretty much screwed.
Anyway being free to sail anywhere started getting old when I realised there was nowhere to go but this town, so I headed ashore to spend my cash and learn where to head next. So basically my next step is to talk to every NPC wandering around and break into every house until someone here gives me a clue I can work with to reach the second crystal. Standard JRPG procedure.
Hey I found a weapon shop. The game's nice enough to show me what weapons my people can equip and let me buy items in bulk, but the shop screen still won't tell me how good a weapon is, or even if it's better than what I have. How can we be at game five in the series, and it still hadn't occurred to any of the developers that players might want to know more about what they're buying than the name and price?
Faris had disappeared off to the pub to get some sleep while the rest of us were bothering the local NPCs, so I went over there to check up on him. Then suddenly Butz and Galuf decided to split up, sneak into his room in turn to watch him sleep, and then fall in love with him. I mean seriously, Butz walked in, stared at Faris for a bit, a heart appeared above his head, and then Galuf took a turn. I guess this is supposed to be a hint that Faris is actually a female pirate captain, seeing as the two of them have had their eyes on Reina as well.
I suppose my first clue should've been the fact that several of her job outfits are dresses. All the male mages in this have their hood down, or wear stripy pantaloons.
Anyway I know where I'm going now. To the ship!
Hey Faris, what the hell are you doing? Don't dismiss our pirate crew! Look at them standing there in their waistcoats, purple bandanas and matching eyepatches, they're awesome! You can't just expect us three to run the ship, we're rubbish! Galuf's got brain damage, Reina is a sheltered princess, and Butz... well, he's unreliable. He's the kind of person who'd tell his only friend to 'wait outside the cave, I'll be right back', and then disappear off to join some pirates.
You see, this is what happens when you dismiss your entire crew! Now there's no one but us to fight off the vicious... soccer? Or maybe that's the octofist. Man whatever it is, it's gross, and it's getting the deck all slimy. Plus poor Faris is getting the crap kicked out of her.
I'm getting the feeling I'm not quite ready to go sailing into adventure yet. After this fight I'm sailing back to town to bring Faris back from the dead, then I'm doing a tiny bit of grinding. Hopefully I'll get a better handle on how these job abilities work while I'm at it. I'm sure that second crystal can wait a couple more minutes.
Damn abilities. I only wanted to get to the next job level to see what happened, but I ended up getting caught earning enough points to upgrade all my jobs a level or two just to see what I got. Now everyone's got the ability to cast white or black magic and my Monk can detect secret passages. Though they can only equip one ability from a different class at a time, so I have to choose carefully what I want. Agh, it's so inaccessible!
Alright I think I'm ready now. Ready for adventure! Time to get back on my boat and go save the next crystal.
Disaster! Faris's pet sea monster thing got caught in a whirlpool, once again proving that our group really can't be trusted around animals.
Well now we are fucked. We're adrift in the middle of a lake miles from the shore with no wind, and we forgot to pack any oars. Even if we could swim all the way to land from here (and this is the overworld we're on now, so its much further away than it looks) we're surrounded by cliffs.
Eventually our vessel washed up against a ship graveyard, filled with the shattered remains of the unfortunate ships caught adrift in the currents before us. But hey if they're all piling up here, then there's a good chance that if I make it across the wrecks I'll eventually reach the shore. Either that or a big rock miles from anywhere.
We have to make it through a few submerged decks along the way, but it's fine, we're good with water. I mean it doesn't seem like any of my team can swim, but it's not an issue as they can all walk underwater, holding their breath indefinitely. Hang on, just gotta test that actually...
Yep it seems like it's impossible to drown these people. Which is good, because this level seems to be going on for a while and there's even underwater fights down here. Square have actually discovered the secret to making a bearable underwater level: make it exactly the same as a regular level and then stick a water effect on top. Suits me fine, as I'd rather explore a ship graveyard than another bloody cave.
T'aar? She's just making pirate words up now. Yep, it has finally been revealed that Faris is secretly a woman, after Galuf and Butz try to strip her naked thinking she was a guy. You know, to stop her from freezing to death in wet clothes. It seems she was in disguise to avoid the rampant sexism in the piracy industry, and that's basically all there is to that. Funny how early that was resolved.
You know, I've played FF games that keep a steady party, and FF games that mix the team up, and I definitely think I prefer a consistent group like this. I can happily develop my team and follow their story without worrying that it's going to drop a Spoony Bard into the squad or take away my heavy hitter on a whim.
Hey, I finally found a world map on one of the ships. A really tiny world map. You'd think these sailors might have actually labelled some of these locations so that they'd have some clue where they were going, but nope.
Anyway I've hit dry land at last, so I can resume my search for the second crystal.
We've finally found the King's dragon! Suspiciously miles away from the King, on top of a mountain. I imagine the King told him "just wait outside the Wind Shrine for 5 minutes, I'll be right back", and the poor creature got bored waiting.
If you're wondering why Reina is having a nap, she noticed that the dragon was ill and decided to wade through poisonous plants to get it a cure. Damn, if only someone had remembered that the entire party has fire magic, then they could have burned a safe path through.
Fortunately the dragon has antidote powers and is able to save her, so everything worked out in the end. Wait a second, we ALL have antidote magic and I've actually had to use it after walking over these plants in gameplay earlier and... oh who even gives a shit, I have a DRAGON now!
Well it seems that the dragon I found at the top of a mountain can't fly high enough to get over the tops of mountains. It's probably for the best really though, as I'd never find where I was meant to be going next if the game didn't block off practically everywhere else.
Though I've just realised where I can get to now.
Well there you go, Butz abandoned his pet chocobo in front of a cave and guess what, the poor thing went off to look for him and broke its leg. He might have even died in that cave if this kind wizardpirate hadn't dragged him to a bed. Butz, you're an asshole.
And yes I realise that I just abandoned my dragon outside the very same cave entrance to go look for the chocobo, but the difference here is that this time I really will be back out in five minutes.
Then I flew over to Reina's castle to tell everyone that she's okay and that I've found the King's dragon. I know I'm supposed to be in a rush to save the crystals and stop the world falling into ruin, but it seemed like a decent thing to do, and I got this little cutscene out of it where Faris does her impression of a confused horse.
I really do appreciate the that game didn't pressure me to come here (yet), it just provided me with the option. But yeah I should really go sort out that crystal now.
Way to spoil the storyline, magic shop. A whole bunch of time related magic and summons I can't use, I wonder what that can mean. You might as well have just flashed up 'Oh by the way you will reach the second crystal too late to stop it shattering, though by collecting the fragments you will gain Time Mage and Summoner classes, amongst others'.
Still, sounds cool to me. I'll grab the lot. Fortunately I only need to buy each of these only once to have it available for all my characters.
Hmm, this Water Shrine looks a little bit... sewery to me. It entirley uncavey and not even slightly castley though so I can live with that. All the enemies here are responsive to a bit of old fashioned violence as well, which is good because as my limited MP pool makes me hesitant to fire off magic if I can help it.
Oh by the way, if you've been wondering why I've had Reina as my lead character for half the game, it's because... well, she is isn't she? She's definitely had more of a claim to being the main character than Butz so far, seeing as she's got a goal, motivation, plus a mysterious connection to Faris she's trying to uncover, and Butz is basically just tagging along because he wants to bed half the team.
The Water Crystal exploded! And the fragments are giving me new jobs to choose from, including Time Mage and Summoner! The way things are going I'll be shocked if the next crystal doesn't explode as well.
Wait, if the destruction of the Wind Crystal ended all wind, does that mean that breaking the Water Crystal has just ended the existence of water?
Oh, I guess not, seeing as this entire chunk of land is disappearing below the waves. I half expected to see my team jump out of the tower and run to safety on the overworld, but then I realised that must something like 30 miles they'd have to run. In 10 seconds.
Well it's fine, they can survive underwater indefinitely right? So all they have to do is hike 30 miles on the sea bed.
But then, Faris' pet sea monster makes a shocking reapperance! It turns out that it didn't actually die in the whirlpool and somehow it knew where they were and has come to save them in the nick of time! Actually it just eats them all, the end.
So what did I think about Final Fantasy V? Well the story feels like a tired retread of first four games, the characters aren't overly compelling, and I won most fights by just holding down a button. On the other hand it's mercifully free of frustrations, the settings have been a little more interesting than usual, and there's been no need for me to grind so far. Well not to win fights anyway. Instead I needed to grind job points to satisfy my craving for new abilities. Weirdly it seems like the job system is the part that's grabbed my attention more than anything, as it's gotten me curious to see what sorts of hybrid super-classes I could create if I just got a few more job levels..
Plus I just can't dislike a game that has a bat cat in it.
They fly around in packs wearing their home-made wings and kick people in the face for no reason, how awesome is that? Awesome enough to earn the game a gold star.
Comments are welcome by the way, in case you were wondering. The comment box isn't just there in case of emergencies.

For its November 16, 2009 issue, New Yorker magazine featured an image of the New York skyline at night, with one unusual twist: the image was created not with brushes, pastels, or pencils, but on the iPhone.
Jorge Colombo, an artist, drew the cover using Brushes, an iPhone app. Watch the video below to see how it's done!
He's not the only artist to use the Brushes application to "finger paint" these mobile masterworks. We asked HuffPost readers to submit their own iPhone artwork, which we've put together in to an incredible slideshow of portraits, landscapes, still-lives, and more, which you can see here.

Another of Colombo's iPhone-created drawings graced the cover of the New Yorker's June 1, 2009 issue (see it here).
In a short profile about him in the New Yorker, Colombo described how he's come to use his iPhone to create art:
"I got a phone in the beginning of February, and I immediately got the program so I could entertain myself," says Colombo, who first published his drawings in The New Yorker in 1994. Colombo has been drawing since he was seven, but he discovered an advantage of digital drawing on a nighttime drive to Vermont. "Before, unless I had a flashlight or a miner's hat, I could not draw in the dark." (When the sun is up, it's a bit harder, "because of the glare on the phone," he says.) It also allows him to draw without being noticed; most pedestrians assume he's checking his e-mail.
More of his drawings are featured on his blog at the New Yorker, Finger Painting.
