Marshal Brass is a villain contact in the Aeon City neighborhood of Cap au Diable at coordinates (-746.0, 135.0, 177.6). His level range is 15-19.

Contact Introduced By

Level 10-14

Contact Introduces

I have someone to refer you to.

Level 15-19

(There are no details for this contact. Please see the introduction mission instead.)

I know someone within Arachnos that is recruiting free agents. He is known as Operative Wellman, an ex-cop from Paragon City who despises vigilantes. He has a lot of connections, and can get you Mutant and Science Enhancements.

Wellman is efficient and ruthless, but do your job well, and you'll get good ratings with Arachnos.

Arachnos Marshal of Cap au Diable

Marshal Leon Brass is the head of all Arachnos military operations in Cap au Diable. though he technically reports to Dr. Aeon, the Island's governor, Marshal Brass has a lot of power of his own. Many think that he was put in place to monitor Dr. Aeon for Arachnos, and remove him by force should the erratic scientist become a threat.

Prior to Introduction

I have no idea who you are, but I'm open minded. If you come to me with the recommendation of Dr. Shelly Percey, we'll be able to talk.

Initial Contact

Get this straight: As Marshal, I shouldn't be talking to you. But I need to have some things done. And I think you can do them.

  • Greetings.
  • Ready?
  • It's on.

Too Busy

I am the Marshal and commander of all Arachnos forces in Cap au Diable. Do not even come to me unless you can give me your undivided attention. Finish the other jobs you have first. Then we can talk.

Outlevelled Contact

I'm an important person, but there are many others above me. I think you'll do fine in the future.

No More Missions

I don't have anything more for you. Deal with it.

  • Inspirations
  • Level 15 Natural/Technology Dual Origin Enhancements (200% base costs)

You do good work. You should see if one of my Enhancements can help sharpen your edge. You may contact me directly, if you wish.

  • Level 20 Natural/Technology Dual Origin Enhancements (200% base costs)

You've proven yourself. My store is entirely open to you.

Report Begins:

As requested, I have summarized the events leading up to the WSPDR incident for your files.

A series of events brought this to our attention. It began when a freelance villain tangles with members of the Gold Bricker group. The freelancer came to my attention after an attempt to sell a captured hoversled to Arachnos. I decided to make use of that audacity, and recruited the Freelancer as a deniable agent.

I found a first use for the Freelancer immediately. Wyvern had somehow triggered a false radiation alert in one of our bases. Rather than send our own troops to fight them and reveal that we had seen through their ruse, I sent the Freelancer to handle it. Wyvern was apparently working with a new and unknown Metahuman threat, known as 'Professor Echo'. The freelancer was a bit too zealous, and whatever records Professor Echo and Wyvern were looking for were destroyed.

I next utilized the deniable operative to retrieve the WSPDR reporter Amanda Vines. I know you filed a protest that I did not order her killed, but my hands are tied in that matter by direct orders from Lord Recluse. I report to you, but we all report to him. Additionally, Wyvern forces were present, led by Professor Echo. I can also confirm that Wyvern had already destroyed whatever research was occurring in the lab. Even I don't know what was going on in there.

I was next distracted from interrogating Vines by the incident at the Power Transfer System. Unfortunately, by the time my troops arrived, all of your men had been killed by the Clockwork. Not even the freelancer in my employ was able to arrive on time.

When we next tried to locate Ms. Vines, we found that she'd uncovered the control center to the PTS. With my forces spread out, I had to utilize the freelancer. Unfortunately, Wyvern communications sabotage prevented me from getting word to your men in the control center. The full account of this tragic event and it's costs has already been sent to you. The freelancer was still able to stop Ms. Vines' investigation, and also battled against Professor Echo again.

Up until this point, we had thought that we'd acted quickly enough in all cases to prevent Ms. Vines from gaining enough information to formulate any solid theories. Fortunately, I have operatives in place within the WSPDR news organization who informed us of how wrong we were. I activated our deniable operative to work with your forces to contain the situation and prevent WSPDR from broadcasting while my own forces manned the jamming stations against counter-attack.

After the WSPDR offices were occupied, we cleansed all dangerous information, and took those involved into persuasive custody. As per my orders, Ms. Vines herself was not harmed in a permanent or visible manner. We did discover that she was being provided with information through a secret source. We believe that this source was none other than Professor Echo. I have requested further funds to investigate. At the end of the clean-up phase, I executed the freelancer personally to prevent information from leaking out. I've sealed the freelancer's file to maintain secrecy, as per standard operating procedure.

Report Ends.

Souvenir: A Bootleg Recording

(This souvenir is awarded if you fail the final mission)

A copy of this bootleg broadcast was left for you in a security deposit box along with a substantial amount of money. When you play it, you see Amanda Vines, urgently reporting from within the WSPDR building:

'This is Amanda Vines, reporting from WSPDR news with a special report.'

'People of Cap au Diable, and of all the Rogue Isles, I'm speaking to you tonight with a message of gravest importance. We have uncovered a conspiracy within the governorship of Cap au Diable to deceive the peoples of all the Rogue Isles. A conspiracy that's placed every one of us in danger. A secret that we call:'

The Aeon Conspiracy

'It began during our investigation of the gang called the Gold Brickers. These notorious thieves and air pirates have been the source of some debate, but we've found proof positive connecting them and Dr. Aeon's government. Proof that they may well be nothing more than Dr. Aeon's secret squad of sabotuers and hi-tech thieves. Though King Midas, the leader of the Gold Brickers had no comment on these allegations, proof was uncovered by...'

'I'm sorry, but I've been informed that Arachnos Forces are starting to head towards the WSPDR building. I think they're going to try to take us off the air. I'll have to try and hit the high points, but I assure you that everything I'm telling you is true. We next attempted to interview Wyvern agents who had also been pursuing the connection between Dr. Aeon and the Gold Brickers. They had been trying to obtain secret files on Dr. Aeon's mysterious early years when they were stopped by a freelance villain suspected to be working for Marshal Brass, the head of all Arachnos operations in Cap au Diable. While none of the Wyvern operatives were willing to talk on camera, this reporter continued to investigate.'

'Working on an informant's tip, this reporter found herself in an abandoned Arachnos facility, over-run with one of Dr. Aeon's extremely dangerous and highly illegal experiments on the Shivan life-forms found in Bloody Bay. Caught between these alien monsters, this reporters life was spared by a super powered individual who chose to remain anonymous. Can we roll some of that footage?'

The next few minutes show security camera footage as you lead Amanda Vines to safety. Your features and identifying details of your costume have been blurred out. The footage stops suddenly, and cuts back to the studio. From the flames and wreckage, it looks like something just exploded.

'What was that? Was that a rocket? Ladies and gentlemen, we are currently under attack by Arachnos forces. I don't know how much longer we'll be on the air. Information gained in that laboratory and the sudden disappearance of several Power Transfer System workers during a Clockwork attack led us to discover that something was wrong with the PTS. Our investigation is still continuing, but one thing is clear: We are being lied to. Not only is Dr. Aeon lying about the supposedly safe and clean power he's providing us, but he's been lying to us about who he is. I'll cut to the point and hope that we have time to show you the proof later: Dr. Aeon is a lie! He is none other than the notorious mad scientist Dr. Egon, who once terrorized these islands and with his mad experiments and scientific depredations. And we have proof! We have'

At this point, the transmission is nearly cut off as a massive explosion shakes the studio. Amanda Vines appears on screen after a moment. She's bleeding from a scalp wound.

'The sounds that you are hearing are the sounds of a desperate battle being waged outside and within this building, as Arachnos forces are trying to storm WSPDR to shut us down before we can complete this broadcast. We know that they're jamming our transmissions, but we have to hope that someone out there will still be able to hear us. Dr. Aeon is a threat to us all!'

The transmission breaks up into static. According to Marshal Brass, Amanda Vines was spared so that Lord Recluse could keep his 'aura of respectability' by having a voice of opposition. You wonder how others at WSPDR fared. You still got paid, though, so it looks like Vines was true to her offer to pay you if they got a chance to broadcast. They got their chance, but you have to wonder if anyone ever heard it through the jamming.

Take the job against the Gold Brickers from Marshal Brass

I'm Marshal Leon Brass. I control all Arachnos operations in this Cap au Diable, reporting to Dr. Aeon. You'd be Character, right? You've tangled with my forces before, I'm sure. Don't worry about it. I don't hold grudges for that kind of thing. It's just how it is here. I've heard good things about you. That you're powerful. That you're capable. That you don't mind getting your hands dirty. Sounds like what I need.

I have a job or two I need done by an independent contractor, and I think you could be the one. You'll be paid, but this will be kept quiet. This is not official Arachnos work. You will not officially work for me in any capacity. Arachnos troops will still consider you a valid target, and if you mess up, I will deny any knowledge that you even exist. What I will do, is pay you for certain jobs for me. The first one will be against the Gold Brickers. The job is yours if you want it. Otherwise, walk away.

Mission Acceptance

Here's the details:

I've been wanting to see one of the Gold Brickers rocketpacks up close for a long time. They resemble an old Arachnos prototype. If they're derived from that program, then we have a security leak.

Your job is to steal one of the Rocketpacks, then to deliver it to Dr. Flammonds's lab for analysis. Flammond is one of ours. The Gold Brickers will try to stop you. Don't get stopped. The pack will only have about 90 minutes worth of fuel, but even if you run out, Flammond can still analyze it.

Steal Rocket-pack from Brickers

Unnecessary Solicitation

Get the Rocket-pack, then get it to Dr. Flammond.

Mission Objective(s)

The Gold Brickers are in the middle of one of their thefts. It looks like they aren't expecting an interruption like this.

  • Steal Rocket-pack from Brickers
    • Steal rocket-pack

You got the rocket pack! Now to deliver it to Dr. Flammond!

Get rocket-pack to Dr. Flammond

Unnecessary Solicitation

Now that you have the pack, get it to Flammond. Give him any help he asks for.

Mission Objective(s)

Though there aren't any signs of forced entry, you can see that this base has been over-run! The Gold Brickers knew you were coming.

  • Get rocket-pack to Dr. Flammond
    • Find Dr. Flammond
    • Escort Dr. Flammond out

A word from Dr. Flammond
Before Dr. Flammond left, he told you something:

"I thought those Rocket-packs looked familiar. They're based on an old Arachnos prototype I was working on years ago. However, they've been modified rather heavily, and greatly improved. The nature of the modifications are quite unique. The only one who could have done this work would be Dr. Aeon himself!"

Flammond no doubt told you what he told me. Only one who could have done it is my boss, Dr. Aeon. He's been using the Gold Brickers to carry out thefts and attacks on his own. Trading them technology for their services. Using them as his own secret mercenary force. I've suspected that for a while. Dr. Aeon keeps a lot of secrets. Now I know. You also know. Technically, I should have you killed; but I appreciate good work. I also appreciate someone who can keep things quiet. If you can cover both, then I'll have another job for you.

Take another deniable job from Marshal Brass

Aeon's connection to the Gold Brickers makes something else clear. Wyvern had been targeting them, but seemed to drop that recently. Now they're going after Arachnos, but it looks like they're searching for something. Possibly evidence of that connection. They can't be allowed to find it, and it has to be done without revealing it actually exists. That means I'll need another job done by a deniable outside contractor.

Mission Acceptance

I have no special hatred of Wyvern. They help to cull out the weaker villains. However, they've somehow gotten a lot of information on our bases recently. they're searching through our files with near impunity. This has me upset.

They triggered a false radiation alert and forced one base to evacuate. I want you to find why they targeted that base, and then find and defeat every last one of them in there. Report back to me when you're done.

Professor Echo

Unnecessary Solicitation

I want you to find why they targeted that base, and then find and defeat every last one of them in there. Report back to me when you're done.

Mission Objective(s)

Radiation alarms blare false alerts down every hallway of this base.

  • Defeat all Wyvern in base
    • Find Wyvern's objective

You defeated Wyvern and got the files.

A file on Dr. Egon
This file contains Arachnos' records of the notorius mad scientist Dr. Egon. His pursuit, trial and capture are all matters of public record, known to most people living in the Rogue Isles. Where these files disagree is in Dr. Egon's final fate. While he was shown to be executed on live television, these files continue on, detailing his negotiations with Arachnos to work for them in exchange for a new identity. An identity called Dr. Aeon.

I assume you read that file? If you were an actual Arachnos Operative, I'd have to order your death for that. But you're not. In fact. there's no way of me knowing what you have or haven't read, since we don't know each other and have never met. Isn't that something?

Yeah, Dr. Aeon used to be Dr. Egon, the mad scientist. He hasn't changed much. I was one of the people who brought him in. Now you know the truth in a deniable fashion, meaning now you know enough to be helpful with a few more jobs. Aeon's always been unstable, but I'm concerned. He's working on a number of projects that might endanger the whole island. If that were to happen, they'd have my head. Literally. What do you think controls the drones?

Recover Amanda Vines and find out what she's learned

Now you're one of the people who know about Dr. Aeon's past as Dr. Egon. In a deniable fashion, that is. Now, you can do jobs that would arouse too much suspicion in others. which is good. Because I got a lot of jobs. The first is a two-for-one. first point is Amanda Vines. She's WSPDR's star reporter. she's popular. A "crusading reporter" type. People love her. She's got a bad habit of investigating Arachnos business. Lord Recluse finds her presence useful, though. A voice of dissent makes him look more tolerant, more legitimate. And a bit of manipulation makes her very useful. That's what you're going to do. Ms. Vines has been digging into Dr. Aeon's current research. Now she's in trouble. And that's the second part. She snuck into a base where Aeon's experimenting on something. Knowing him, it's something he shouldn't be experimenting on. I want you to find her, find out what Aeon's working on, and find out what she's learned.

  • Recover Amanda Vines and find out what she's learned

Aeon keeps a lot of secrets, even from me. If I'm to look after Arachnos's interests, I need to know them. Vines is an expert at finding out secrets, and she's been after Dr. Aeon hard the last few weeks. I want to know what she knows. Don't hurt her, though. Like I said, Lord Recluse likes to have her around. Oh, and there's one more thing. You remember Professor Echo? He might be after Vines, too. Make sure he doesn't get her.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Get Vines out of that place, and make sure to take out Professor Echo.

Amanda Vines

Mission Objective(s)

You can see why this place was abandoned. There's slime everywhere!

    • Find Vines
    • Escort Vines out

Amanda Vines' Report
After you rescued her, ace reporter Amanda Vines told you:

"I came her looking for some information for a report on the Power Transfer System. It's putting out too much power, more power than it should be capable of, and I wanted to know why and how. According to my informants, Dr. Aeon was working here back when he began designing the PTS, so I figured that there might be some clues. I snuck in to check it out, and I got more than I bargained for.

You did me a good turn, so I'll pass one on to you. Information is power, you know. I found out that Dr. Aeon has been continuing the work of Dr. Egon, the mad scientist executed by Arachnos several years ago. In fact, I suspect that they may be the same person!

I still don't know what's going on with the PTS, but if I'm right about Dr. Aeon, this could be big. Hope you can profit by that. And thanks."

Icon clue generic.png
A warning from Echo
Before teleporting to safety, Professor Echo told you:

"Be very cautious. Dr. Aeon is up to his neck in more things that you know. Pay heed to Ms. Vines' investigations into the Power Transfer System. You could learn more than you may want to know."

Aeon's working on the Shivans, and Vines suspects Aeon's real identity. The first part is a surprise. The Shivans are supposed to be isolated in Bloody Bay. He could get in a lot of trouble for that. Good. I had suspected she might have started to figure out Aeon's real story. Don't know how close she is, though. I also didn't expect her to be looking into the Power Transfer System. That's very interesting. Dr. Aeon keeps the PTS under very close watch. even I don't know all the specifics. Maybe it's time to learn more.

Kidnap Aeon's Workers during the Clockwork attack

Opportunity is a funny thing. I was just talking about learning more about the Power Transfer System. Seems part of it is about to be attacked. Clockwork. Those weird little robots are massing to attack a section. Dr. Aeon says he needs all his own troops for something else, so he's asked me to handle it. So I'm asking you. But I don't care about stopping the attack. I just want more information. So I want you to concentrate on the workers trapped in the attack. Deliver them to safety. The safety of my interrogation rooms.

  • Kidnap Aeon's Workers during the Clockwork attack

This has to be quiet. So I want you to go in underground. The sewers in New Haven have an exit in the PTS. If no-one sees you go in, we're in the clear. As far as Dr. Aeon will know, his men were captured by Clockwork. I'll make sure you have an alibi. Aeon will suspect nothing, I'll learn what I want to know, and you'll be well paid.

The PTS complex

Mission Objective(s)

The air crackles with electricity; some from the PTS, and some from the Clockwork.

  • Kidnap Workmen
    • 3 workers to kidnap
    • 3 workers to lead out

You delivered all of the PTS workers to the Marshall's men.

The Control room
After you got him out of the Clockwork attack, the PTS Foreman named Carl told you something interesting:

"That was weird, but I have worked for Doc Aeon for a couple a' years, so I have seen weird. You wanna see weird? You should see the control room for the PTS. I been there once, and I still have trouble sleepin' when I think about it. You want to check it out, you go ahead. I'll even tell you where it is. Just, ah, don't tell anyone you heard about it from me. Don't wanna get in trouble the boss-man, you understand. Sure, weird metal things sometimes try to kill me, but at least it's a union job, so I'm gonna get comp time for this."

Those men talked. Didn't take much. Seems that there is something strange with the PTS. Not too surprising. Vines was onto something. If Dr. Aeon has jeopardized this island with his experiments and the PTS, I need to know before an arbiter gets involved.

Find out what's wrong with the Power Transfer System for Marshal Brass

The workers you captured have told me where the control center for the Power Transfer System is. I want to know what Aeon's hiding. I can't let on what I suspect, so I'm going to ask you to find out for me.

  • Find out what's wrong with the Power Transfer System for Marshal Brass

We have the location of the control room. That was the easy part. Now I want you go get inside. Find out what Aeon's hiding. The men in there are Loyal to Dr. Aeon, not me. I don't care what happens to them. That won't be a problem.

There is a complication though: Amanda Vines. She might have learned about the place. Security leak. It was taken care of. If she's there, get her out, unharmed. Like I said, Recluse likes to keep her around.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Find out what Aeon's up to with the PTS, and get Vines out of there.

Mission Objective(s)

Something tells you that you're way down the rabbit hole now, and into Dr. Aeon's weird wonderland.

  • Find truth behind PTS
    • Secure PTS data
    • Find Vines
    • Escort Vines out

You secured the data about the Power Transfer System.

The real power source
As you skim the files on the Power Transfer System, words and sentences spring up at you from the hundreds of pages. Even in fragments, they lay out a strange picture indeed.

"Geothermal power output still too low. Recluse will have my head! Brass wanting to give it to him.

Must drill farther down. Inner Volcano far hotter. Hotter than it should be.

Power output off charts! Must study further.

Piles of Clockwork bought for scrap-iron are reanimating before being melted down. Too far for Clockwork King. Attacking workers. What could it be?

Circle of Thorns seen around powerlines. Wonder why?

Entering Volcano tunnel tomorrow. With this much geothermal heat, island should have exploded by now. Must know what's going on!

WHAT WAS IT? Was it alive? Pure accident we drilled into it. I think it's still alive...

Found an old local legend, about a Demon sealed in mountain by priest? Bat'Zul?

Of course! It's animating them! The Clockwork here are it's response. And the Circle is interested in demons. Must tighten security. Get Brass off my back.

Now that I understand, power output is rising. It can be tapped, like any resource. It's power is immense and it can be harnessed. I am a genius!"

The final image shows the complete layout of the PTS as it is now. The geothermal lines are almost completely ignored; bypassed for a new kind of power: Eldritch energy transformed into electricity, collected by conduits of cold iron connected to the heart of a fiend.

Amanda Vines' offer
As you rushed her out of the PTS control center, Amanda Vines made a strange offer to you:

"Okay, I know that you're working with Marshal Brass. I've interviewed him. He's not that bad a guy, but it's impossible to get more that ten words out of him at a time. I've figured out that I'm living under his protection for some reason. I think it's because he, or someone above him in Arachnos, thinks I'm useful. I can live with that. I'll be a tool in their internal squabbles, if it gives me a chance to get the truth out and help the people who have to live here.

And that's what I want to ask you about. Look, I found the evidence I need. I have proof that Dr. Egon wasn't executed by Arachnos, that they altered his looks and came up with Dr. Aeon. I know Arachnos probably doesn't want that information out, but the people need to know they're being ruled by a maniac. So we're going to try to tell them. I'm pretty sure they're going to send you to make sure we don't get a chance.

So that's what I'm going to ask you. We've hired guards from Wyvern to help us, and maybe they'll be able to keep us on the air long enough. But I've seen you fight. If you help Arachnos, there's a good chance we'll be shut down before we can broadcast. So I'd like to ask you not to interfere. Take the mission, and just do nothing. Let us tell the truth, and warn the people of Cap au Diable. I'm not asking for charity or appealing to your higher ideals. I've been around long enough people like you to know that it probably won't work. All I can offer you is enough money to match whatever the Marshal will pay you, and my thanks.

That's the offer. I hope you take me up on it, but I know it's a long shot. Anyway, thanks for the rescue, again. I'll see you in the papers.

This, this is too much. This re-defines going too far. Tapping into a demon? All these attacks? The clockwork out here? And now I got it. Thanks to you. I told you Vines was useful.

Speaking of Vines, did she talk to you? The next thing I need done involves her. Her and WSPDR. sources on the inside tell me they're going to go live with all they know. I'd like to see Aeon get what he deserves. But deserve's got nothing to do with it. I can't let that broadcast happen.

This mission happens on a modified version of the Council's normal base maps. Most of the map is the same design as the Council bases, but with different textures and graphics. The final room of the mission, however, is original to this map.

Destroy generators to stop the transmission

My sources inside WSPDR have alerted me to a problem. Amanda Vines has proof about Dr. Aeon's identity. She intends to broadcast it. this cannot be allowed. I'm sending in assault troops, but I know they have guards. Mercenaries. Wyvern probably. that's where you come in. I want you to make sure WSPDR doesn't transmit anything. Once the pressure's on, they'll try to act fast. Broadcast ahead of schedule. You'll have about 90 minutes. After that, either the news will be out of commission, or the news will be out on the airwaves.

  • Destroy generators to stop the transmission

We're setting up jamming stations as back-up. Activating them would alert enemies and scramble communications. I'd rather you handled this cleanly. There should be four generators. Some on the roof, some back-ups scattered around. Destroy all of them. That will cut their power. We can then get their evidence at leisure.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Destroy the generators. You only have 90 minutes.

You're not hesitating are you?

A generator, with the WSPDR building in the background.

Mission Objective(s)

Amanda's offer sticks in your head. She said she would pay if you let them stay on the air. It's really all up to you, now.

  • Destroy the generators 1:30:00
    • 7 generators to destroy

Success: You destroyed the generators before the broadcast could begin.
Failure: WSPDR had enough power to transmit. The only question is how much of the truth got through the jamming?

Success: Good work. We've confiscated all of the evidence. Pinned the whole thing on a Hero assault. No one suspects the truth. Except Ms. Vines. I've had my men have a little 'talk' with her. Discuss her boundaries. What she can and cannot say. Nothing too severe. No marks for the cameras. It should make her even more determined, but reign her in some. She gets to live.
Me? I get to crucify Aeon with what you've found. That should keep him in line. for a while.
And you? You get paid. Not that you were ever a part of this. Everybody wins.
Failure: The jamming went up in time. Maybe. Still left us blind. We'll find out what the damage was. It'll take a few weeks. We've confiscated all of the evidence. We'll let the spies figure out who suspects what. Then there's Ms. Vines. I've ordered my men to have a little 'talk' with her. Discuss boundaries. What she can and cannot say. Nothing too severe. No marks for the cameras. It should make her even more determined, but reign her in some. She gets to live.
Me? I still get to crucify Aeon with what you found for me. That should keep him in line. For a while.
And you? I'll still pay you some. You earned it. Not that you were ever a part of this.

  • This mission occurs on a unique instanced map of a section of Cap au Diable.
  • For those having trouble finding all the generators:
    • One is on the roof of the WSPDR building. For non-fliers, the roof can be reached by clicking on the front door of the building.
    • The other six generators are all connected to the WSPDR building via power cables laid across the ground. All six can thus be found by tracing these power cables out from the building.
    • The souvenir you get at this point, depends upon whether you chose to assist Amanda Vines and get a Bootleg Recording, or display your loyalty to Lord Recluse and receive After Action Report.

Echo Down the Aeons

E ICON MeritToken.png Merit Rewards: This activity awards 9 Reward Merits.

Souvenir: An Old Drawing of You

Ths faded and folded drawing is clearly supposed to be of you. You found it on the body of Professor Echo when you finally caught him at the end of the escapade you called:

Echo Down the Aeons

It all started after the Aeon conspiracy. Marshal Brass had some more work for you. Wyvern had been stealing high-tech gear from Dr. Aeon's labs. You took a commision to stop them, and discovered that the culprit was none other than Professor Echo, who had taken a time deflector, and old piece of Dr. Aeon's technology meant to alter the destination point of a time traveller. Aeon had discarded it as useless, but Professor Echo obviously thought differently.

In the wake of the strange theft, Wyvern agents were spotted in two different bases. Brass paid well to clean them out, but the first one you came to was filled with Shivans cloned by Professor Echo! You cleaned the place out, and found a note that had been dropped in the slime. From the note it seemed like Professor Echo was interested in the other base.

You hit the other base, fought through Wyvern Mercenaries, and found yourself confronted with an amazing sight: Professor Echo talking to an older Dr. Aeon. And they were talking about you. Professor Echo was trying to deliver a warning about you, and the older Dr. Aeon was shocked to see you alive. Dr. Aeon fled, but Professor Echo fought to the end.

Marshal Brass seemed confused by the whole situation, and figured he'd need time to think. He paid you, but had no further jobs. The only question left is, what did it all mean?

Wyvern's been stealing some high-tech gear from Dr. Egon's labs
Sorry, I misspoke.
I meant, Dr. Aeon's labs. I think that Echo guy is involved again. I need it investigated. Pay's good as always. Interested?

  • Interested.

As usual, this is on the QT. Your involvement is deniable. There will be no assistance from Arachnos other than my information. Clear?

Wyvern will do another raid soon. I want every head caved in. If you find out why they're doing this, tell me. Professor Echo has some kind of plan. I want to know what it is.

Unnecessary Solicitation

These raids have to stop. It's costing Arachnos.

Professor Echo

Mission Objective(s)

According to Brass, this base has been cleared out of most Arachnos personnel, so there shouldn't be anyone here to see your involvment. Anyone but Wyvern, that is.

  • Defeat all Wyvern tech thieves
    • Find target of theft

You stopped the raid and discovered what they were trying to steal.

Temporal Deflector
The device in this box is missing and has probably been taken by Wyvern agents under Professor Echo's orders, but some of the notes were left behind. Apparently this device was a left-over remnant from some of Dr. Aeon's old experiments in time travel. The Temporal Deflector could disrupt the energy of a time traveler, changing the traveler's destination point in space and time. Aeon shelved it as useless because you needed to know the exact destination point the time traveler originally intended.

A time deflector? Interesting. I'm going to keep this quiet. But this isn't over. Let me tell you about what the Wyvern's been up to.

Do it

Wyvern agents known to work with Professor Echo have been seen observing two unused Arachnos bases. They have yet to take direct action. I want you to investigate those bases. Find out why they're interested in them. Obliterate anyone who might stand in your way. Can you do that?

  • Do it

Good. That's why you make the big money.
Your mission profile is simple:
The base should be empty. If it's not, destroy all opposition until it is. See if you can find out why Wyvern and Echo are interested in these two bases. Report to me when you're done.

Professor Echo

Unnecessary Solicitation

Whatever is in that old base has no reason to be there anymore. Eliminate it. Look for a reason why Wyvern's interested. Then talk to me. You got it?

Mission Objective(s)

Brass said this place wasn't inhabited, but he didn't say it was this much of a mess. What could be going on here?

  • Defeat any intruders in base

You found a note in the pool of slime. It looks important.

V badge Shivan.png Shivans

Notable NPCs

Icon clue generic.png
A slime-covered note
You found this note discarded in a pool of slime. It says:

To do:
2: Go back several weeks, clone army of Shivans here.
1: Go back before I do that, and remind self to build control mechanism into Shivan clones.
3: Spring Shivan ambush.
1.5: If ambush fails, jump back again and ready arrival location in 2nd base.

Alright. This is getting weird. While you were busy, wyvern moved into the other old base. We haven't attacked yet. Don't want to flush them into hiding. I'd rather crush them in one place. I'd like to have you do it.

Catch Professor Echo once and for all

Wyvern and Professor Echo are in that second abandoned base. This is a chance to get Echo once and for all. Get a whole gang together. I don't want him to get away.

  • Catch Professor Echo once and for all

Don't worry as much about getting everyone. Concentrate on Echo. Find out what's going on here.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I want Echo caught or dealt with. The rest don't matter.

Professor Echo and ...Doctor Aeon?

Mission Objective(s)

This is another unused Arachnos base. You have to wonder how many of these things they build and never use.

  • Catch Prof. Echo

You defeated Professor Echo, but saw something very disturbing.

Completing this mission earns the following badge:

File:Badge ouroboros enabled.png Entrusted with the Secret

You have been exposed to Time Travel and have been granted access to the Ouroboros Citadel. You can find the power to summon forth a portal there in your Temporary Powers tray.

You're sure that the other person looks like Dr. Aeon? This might make sense, with the time travel deflector. honestly, I don't know what I should do with this yet. I'll report that you took care of Professor Echo. I'm going to have to think about what to do about Dr. Aeon. Either way, that's the last thing I have for you. You did well.

Speak with Arachnos Liason

You heard about Bloody Bay? Arachnos is recruiting villains there to fight against the heroes coming in from Paragon City. Go talk with the Arachnos Warzone Liasion for Bloody Bay over in Cap au Diable.

The Arachnos Liason will give you an appraisal of the situation in Bloody Bay. You can then make the choice of whether you want to get involved or not.

Mission Objective(s)

  • Speak with Arachnos Liason

So how's the situation in Bloody Bay? Bloody I'm assuming.

Talk to Seer Marino

I've heard a rumor about an Arachnos Fortunata Seer who's looking for freelancers of around your level of power to handle some jobs for her. Word is that Ghost Widow and the Wretch are involved somehow. Could be dangerous, could be profitable. Either way, I can set you up to meet with her.

  • Talk to Seer Marino

This is just an introduction. You don't have to do her tasks, but I hear they may be pretty interesting.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Seer Marino is expecting you.

Mission Objective(s)

I had a feeling that perhaps we had met before? I could be wrong, of course. That is a problem for we Seers of the Fortunata. As the years roll on, the here-and-now begins to blend with the soon-to-be, and we loose track if we let our minds wander. And all it seems my mind can do is wander these days. To thoughts of my youth, of the friends I've lost, and to my brother Paolo, dead all these years. But that is why I wished to speak with you. There are things I must know about what happened to my brother, and you have a growing reputation as someone who can get things done.

Israel at 60 Essay from Michael Walzer

Walzer is a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and one of the foremost political thinkers

May, 2008

Over many years, Western Liberals and Leftists have not had great success at foreign policy. Their strength lies at home, and many of them probably believe that the best foreign policy is a democratic and egalitarian domestic policy. I wish that my friends in Israel could be good liberals and leftists in this old fashioned way. I wish that they could focus their energies over the next decades on reducing the inequalities of Israeli society, improving the quality of state education, separating religion and politics, addressing the rift between Israeli Jews and Arabs, facing up to environmental problems. Surely some of them will work on these and other internal issues some of the time, and so they should. But the hard truth is that the major challenge facing Israel at 60 won't be solved even by the best imaginable domestic policy.

The major challenge, as everyone knows, has to do with war and peace-but also, more specifically, given Hezbollah rocketry in the summer of 2006 and the daily rocketing of Sderot, it has to do with physical security. Israel is immensely strong and immensely vulnerable, and that combination is very hard to think about. The strength is military, economic, political, and moral-and it is (as I remember 1948) the totally unexpected achievement of these last sixty years. But the vulnerability is also, in part, an Israeli achievement-the consequence of the misused triumph of 1967, of the occupation and settlement policies that followed, and of the failure to find Palestinian partners for a two state solution.

Are there partners now- Palestinian leaders genuinely interested in permanent coexistence, who are also capable of enforcing whatever agreement they reach? That's not an argument that I can join, sitting here in New Jersey. The risk of a Palestinian state taken over by religious zealots, from which rockets rain down on Israeli cities, is a real risk, given the power of zealotry not only in Palestine but throughout the Muslim world. And dangers like this one always, everywhere, strengthen the hand of rightwing politicians.

And yet there is no way forward that doesn't lead to two states and permanent co-existence. Security hawks on the right offer only blood and tears for decades to come. The real challenge for Israel, which only the left can meet, is to defend the physical safety of Israel's citizens forcefully, since force is unavoidable, while at the same time preparing the ground for peace. I mean that last phrase literally. A lot of the work of Shalom Achshav over the past years has been to persuade Israel's citizens to prepare the ground: that is, to take down the outposts and the "illegal" settlements and then many of the "legal" settlements, so that space is cleared for a future Palestinian state. This isn't work that requires partners on the other side since it doesn't entail military withdrawal; it just signals-but this is very important- a willingness to withdraw. It should be done "as if " there will be partners, in the hope of partners, and to build support among the Palestinians for possible partners.

The use of force is hard. It is hard to get the degree of forcefulness right, and it is hard to get the necessary political and moral restraints right. Over sixty years, Israel has had successes and failures in both these tasks. Only the left, I think, is fully committed to both of them, to forcefulness and restraint- and so at many points to fighting and protesting at the same time. And sometimes leftists get it wrong too: not enough force, not enough restraint. It is a difficult mix, which must always be sensitive to what is going on in the neighboring states and among the Palestinians.

The role of the Israeli peace movement isn't to make peace. It takes a government to do that, and the government that finally does it may or may not be a "peacenik" government. The peace movement builds and sustains the readiness for peace, the openness to opportunities when they arise, the sense of a possible future settlement. The more vulnerable ordinary Israelis feel, the more fragile that sense of possibility will become, and the more crucial the work of those who want to keep it alive. No peace without a trustworthy partner-that maxim is true enough. But it is also true that there won't be peace without an Israeli readiness to trust a trustworthy partner.

And how Israel would blossom in the aftermath of a settlement! Tremendous energy would be released for internal reform, economic growth, cultural creativity, and political/ religious debate. Israel's liberals and social democrats, all its policy wonks, would come into their own. The idea of a Jewish state would be tested in all sorts of ways, and we would learn finally what the "negation of the exile" is going to produce. Real excitement isn't the excitement of war; it lies in what comes after.

Michael Walzer, a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, is one of America's foremost political thinkers. His writings address a wide variety of topics in political theory and moral philosophy, including political obligation, just and unjust war, nationalism and ethnicity, economic justice and the welfare state.

[school-discuss] General Education Online (GEO) News - 2005 - Issue 1

During 2004 and into 2005, General Education Online
(http://www.findaschool.org) has managed to have a series of accomplishments
which have continued to drive General Education Online forward:
1) For 2004, General Education Online closed the year with 2.96 million hits
(representing solid 13% growth), over 550,000 unique hits (16% growth), and
over 50 GB worth of traffic (19% growth).
2) Overall, General Education Online passed 10 million hits, 2 million
unique hits, and passed 175 GB worth of traffic since 1999.
3) In January 2005, General Education Online experienced the single highest
traffic month ever with over 460,000 hits (over 80,000 of which were
unique).  This represents 80% growth of January 2004's hit totals, and near
doubling of January 2004's unique hits.
4) GEO is well on its well to meeting Q1 '05 goals, having accumulated over
700,000 hits quarter-to-date.  Although still early in the year, projections
based on numbers to date have GEO either close to or above 5 million hits at
the end of 2005.
Releases & Newsworthy Items
In October of 2005, General Education Online will celebrate it's tenth
anniversary.  Although still under discussion, a 10th anniversary logo or
theme is not out of the question.
After years of hard work, General Education Online launched v3.0 of the
website on January 5th, 2005.  Development on GEO and other projects will
continue throughout 2005 at a rapid pace.
Beyond the statistics, GEO's most important goal is to reach 15,000 entries
for the 10th anniversary of the site.  15,000 would be about 100 times
larger than the initial site which premiered in October 1995.
In other news, GEO is working on solidifying arrangements with various
educational organizations, universities, and others throughout 2005.  More
news as it becomes available.

Loyal R. Johnson: papers and photographs relating mainly to a tour of British gardens in 1928 (catalogued)

Scope and Content

The archive comprises journals, a photograph album and papers of American horticultural student Loyal Johnson, who at the age of 25 visited Great Britain with his friend Sam Brewster. Together they undertook a three-month tour of English, Welsh and Scottish gardens, covering 1500 miles on bicycles purchased at Liverpool, with their belongings in a 12-inch case strapped to the back of each bicycle. In total the young men visited around 70 gardens, including Munstead Wood where Gertrude Jekyll was in residence, Gravetye Manor with garden paths adapted for William Robinson's wheelchair, Great Dixter where they were reprimanded by Nathaniel Lloyd who then gave them a guided tour, Aldenham House, Chatsworth, Levens Hall, Blickling, Hestercombe House, Hoar Cross House, Compton Wynyates, Blenheim Palace, the Sutton Nursery Company at Reading and many others. Loyal kept a detailed diary of the trip in three volumes, describing the gardens they visited, places they stayed and people they met, creating a historical and social record of inter-war Britain and its gardens. They endured rain and headwinds, biting insects, poor and non-existent roads, multiple falls from the saddle, straw beds, hunger, sickness and falling out with each other. They took pleasure in the scenery ('the finest I've ever seen – man could never even dream of heaven being so beautiful'), the kindness of the people they met and stayed with, and larking about together: 'such funniness I haven't seen since [Sam] ate the banana with the rubber band in it'.

Administrative / Biographical History

Loyal Robert Johnson (1904-1999) was born in Monte Vista, Colorado, United States of America, on 19 Oct 1904. His father was Thomas Henry Johnson, a potato and wheat farmer, and his mother Elme Ann Watson, a travelling seamstress. Their four other children were Harold, Willard, Craig and Ella Vene, who died in infancy. Loyal Johnson attended schools in Monte Vista and went on to attend Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College in Fort Collins, Colorado (as at 2016, Colorado State University). After graduation, he pursued a Master's degree in landscape architecture at what would become the University of Massachusetts. The main content of this archive is focussed on his tour of the gardens of England, Scotland and Wales in the summer of 1928. This was to be the foundation of his Master's degree, which he did not complete. He began his employment with the Long Island Parks Department, New York, participating in the landscaping at the new Jones Beach Park. He moved into landscape design and was involved with layouts for the new Long Island Parkways. In the early 1930s he worked in the New York City Parks Department, and did some landscape design work for golf course designer Robert Trent Jones. He married Madeline Margaret Ramsauer on 18 Aug 1934, and they had four children, Marshall, Everett, Robert and Audrey. In 1941 his book 'How to Landscape Your Grounds' was published by A.T. DeLaMare, revised in 1950. In 1951 the family moved to Baltimore, Maryland, where Loyal Johnson worked for Martin Funnell and Associates, a landscape architecture and city planning firm. The family moved to a small farm in Bel Air, Maryland, and a few years later Johnson was appointed County Planner for Harford County, Maryland.

Loyal Johnson was a life member of the agricultural fraternity Alpha Gamma Rho, serving on the stock judging team in college. In the early 1950s he won a landscape proposal for a community park in Bel Air, although his inclusion of a swimming pool was rejected because of the segregation of schools and other facilities at that time. He was active in local Episcopal churches, and was president of the Bel Air High School Parent Teachers Association in 1959. He was skilled at woodwork, bowling, and plant identification, and wrote poetry, some of which was published. After retirement he lived on a smallholding near Bel Air, Maryland, and continued to grow vegetables including popcorn and rhubarb which he sold and also traded for packaged goods at a local supermarket. He participated and won medals in the Maryland Senior Olympics for many years. He died on 1 Jan 1999.

Source: Compiled in 2016 by Loyal Johnson's son Marshall Johnson, with input from Everett Johnson and Audrey Beale, nee Johnson.

The archive was arranged into sections relating to Johnson's trip to Great Britain, his horticultural studies and career, photographs not relating to the tour,and collected items

obligatory laptop + coffee + table photo of some random guy

The beginning of the beginning..

So. Every once in a while a 23 year old wakes up somewhere in the world with a unique dream. One that he be heard by millions, and be scrutinised by grammar nazis for not using oxford commas. Some of them go on to change the world, but those of them who can’t ride the whole road, decide to start blogging. And for now I’m the later kind. Before I tell you what I'm going to write about, let me tell you a bit about me.

On second thoughts, I didn't really need to start a new paragraph for telling you about me, coz tbh the story fits in a line. I’m a YAGI, yet another geeky Indian guy — who knows something about everything, like literally every crappy thing ever tweeted about, but sucks at pretty much any one thing! Idk man. that’s one loong line.

Then again, what’s one to do if he’s to become successful if one isn't that good at anything? The answer used to be start teaching. But in this digital age, we just go online and start talking to total strangers, like you, that is if you are still reading this — which you obviously are ;)

Now I know I'm supposed to blog about things I actually know and care about. That sadly is pretty much everything under the universe. But you are supposed read blogs about things you don’t know and care about, and one the blogger really knows about. That puts me in a dilemma that you are never really gonna read up to this, even with my cheesy attempt at humor. But hey, you’re still reading this, so I’m gonna go ahead with my plan!

Only two types of people should still be reading this. One is coz you are one of those guys who I mentioned about, who woke up today with the same dream I had. Then now is when you click Sign Up in top right and start you’re own blog about how little you know about the things you know. Go ahead dude, you can leave. Bye!

But if that’s not why you wasted one minute of your precious time, then I’m gonna thank you for kindness man. Now I’m gonna try and talk about everything under the sun (and around), with the intention that you’ll find at-least one post you’ll find useful. And if you have more of those precious minutes, carry on and start reading my blog, I’ll owe you a debt forever. One I hope I’ll pay you back with what I write from now on.

What Is A Good First Woodworking Project?

Why is woodworking good for you?

REDUCE ANXIETY AND STRESS Woodworking is an excellent hobby for forgetting the stress of the day as you immerse yourself in an activity you enjoy.

Working with your hands also has been shown to help reduce stress and improve overall wellness..

Is woodworking a good hobby?

As a hobby, woodworking can be very fulfilling and bring you several hours of recreation, along with the satisfaction of creating different things out of wood. While some people take pleasure in doing the actual woodworking, some prefer to collect beautiful works of art in wood and restoring them.

Is woodworking hard to learn?

Woodworking isn’t hard to learn, but it takes hard work to become a master. If you are passionate about constructing projects, you’ll leap over any barrier in your path. For success, remember three things: passion, patience, and perseverance.

Is woodworking a lucrative business?

So the question again is, is woodworking business a profitable business? In short, the answer is not likely for someone running a small enterprise and probably from a home-based Wood shop.

Is Woodworking an expensive hobby?

Is woodworking an expensive hobby? No, it does not have to be. There are many options available for those just starting out to keep the upfront costs at a reasonable level.

Lecture: Live Curating in Architecture – From Master Houses to Working with a Broken Planet

How to exhibit something so big, so unmovable as architecture? Making architecture exhibitions is challenged by the absence of the object of architecture. Public lecture by professor Elke Krasny, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna followed by a panel discussion.

Much exhibition making still relies on the historical triad of drawing, plan, and model making use of the remnants left behind in the wake of the architectural design process.

But what about curating architecture? What about live curating in architecture? The lecture explores two different sites: the Master Houses, icons of modernism in Dessau, Germany, and the Open Centre/Free Middle, an urban wilderness on former railway lands currently transformed into a new urban neighborhood in Vienna. From these sites we will learn that live curating in architecture reveals the conditions of capital, technology, ecology, and labor architecture is a response to and an expression of. Moving from progress-centric Modernism to the Anthropocene-violence of our present moment, live curating engages the scale of 1:1 and performs architecture rather than turning it into a show.

Public lecture by professor Elke Krasny, Academy of Fine Arts Vienna followed by a panel discussion with professor Elke Krasny, Thordis Arrhenius, associate professor KTH School of Architecture and Christina Pech, research coordinator and lecturer, ArkDes. Moderated by Roemer van Toorn, professor at UMA / Umeå School of Architecture.

Elke Krasny is professor for Art and Education at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. She holds a PhD from the University of Reading, UK. Her research connects contemporary art, architecture, urbanism, memory studies, and feminisms. She explores curatorial formats including research-based exhibitions, field work, conversations, collective writing, reading groups, the public feminist forum, or care walks. In 2012, she was a visiting scholar at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. Curatorial works include: Critical Care. Architecture and Urbanism for a Broken Planet, with Angelika Fitz, at Architekturzentrum Wien, Vienna Austria 2019, Suzanne Lacy’s International Dinner Party in Feminist Curatorial Thought, shown in the framework of the 2016 AHRA Conference Architecture & Feminisms at KTH Stockholm, In Reserve! The Household with Regina Bittner at Bauhaus Dessau 2015, and Hands-On Urbanism 1850-2012.The Right to Green, Venice Biennale for Architecture, 2012.

Liebster Award

I was nominated earlier today by Jahnavi for the Liebster Award. Jahnavi is the author of self-help ebook, Ctrl+Alt+Del and has been interviewed previously on this blog. It is an honour to be nominated by her. Thank you so much, Jahnavi!

The Rules:

  • Once you are nominated for this Award, make a post thanking and linking the person who nominated you.
  • Include the Liebster Award sticker in the post too.
  • Nominate 5 -10 other bloggers who you feel are worthy of this award. Let them know they have been nominated by commenting on one of their posts. You can also nominate the person who nominated you.
  • Lastly, COPY these rules in the post.

Here are the answers to the questions that Jahnavi asked:

How do you get the motivation to blog regularly?

I did blog regularly until I joined work – I wrote at least two posts every week until then. Since coming to Bangalore the frequency has decreased, but yes, I do keep coming back to the blog from time to time to share the thoughts on my mind. It is one thing that has remained the same, even though my offline life has changed drastically since October. So, the blog feels like home.

What is one thing that you like the most about blogging?

It is actually a combination of two things: the urge to write and the urge to be part of a community. It feels good to be connected to people from different parts of the world via this medium.

Approximately how many hours do you spend on blogging daily?

If I do blog, I try to make the most of it. I read the blogposts on my Reader, or write something. But that is not on a daily basis, it is as and when I get time to blog.

What do you aim to achieve from your blog?

When I started the blog, it was meant as a platform for me as an author. Having spent quite a few months blogging, that primary goal has changed. Now, I blog mainly because I want to write and share something that’s on my mind. I enjoy the interaction that I have with my Readers. It is great to be connected to them.

Based on your experience, what advice do you give to a budding blogger?

Blog because you want to, not because you have to. It is more fun that way.

My Nominees:

Here are a few questions that I’d love my nominees to answer:

  1. If you had the power to change on thing in this world, what would that be?
  2. Which colour best describes you?
  3. What is the funniest joke that you’ve heard?

I’m looking forward to your responses, but if you have a No Award Policy or feel that this is not the right time for you, that is fine too.

Have fun, guys! So long!

The Blogger Recognition Award

If this was Facebook, I’ll probably post a status as this: That beautiful moment when a wonderful blogging friend nominates you for an award. But this is not Facebook, but it is still as good a starting line, don’t you think?

Annie, of What the woman wrote, nominated me for The Blogger Recognition Award. I recently met Annie through Writing 101 of Blogging University and have enjoyed reading her posts very much. Her blog is clean and beautifully decorated. I find her blog title very witty and she inspired the present theme (Lovecraft) that I’m using on my blog. Do head onto her blog and check out her posts. I’m sure they’ll catch your fancy.

Here’s the beautiful award that Annie nominated me for:

My! Isn’t it beautiful?

The Rules

  • Select 15 other blogs you want to give the award to.
  • Write a post to show off your award!
  • Give a brief story of how your blog got started, and give a piece or two of advice to new bloggers.
  • Thank whoever nominated you, and provide a link to their blog.
  • List who you’ve nominated in the post. Make sure to also attach the award itself!
  • Comment on each blog and let them know you’ve nominated them. Provide a link to the award post you created.
  • Provide a link to the original post on Edge of Night.

How Scribbles@Arpita was born

I have always wanted to be a writer. In March 2015, I came to know about Joanna Barnard (of Precocious) through the Bath Novel Award website. She had won the Award in 2014. I headed onto her blog from there and fell in love with it. I knew instantly that if I were to be an author, I had to have a blog like her. And so, Scribbles@Arpita was born! Since, I have had the chance to interview Joanna on Scribbles@Arpita and let her know how she inspired the origins of this blog. Imagine my delight!

Eight tips for the newbie blogger

⇒ Take a Blogging University course (Blogging 101/201 and/or Writing 101) at least once. These courses are free and provide a wealth of knowledge, enough to equip you with the nuances of WordPress blogging.

⇒ Choose a nice title that reflects either its creator (you) or the theme of the blog. Remember,the title need not be the same as the URL of your blog. (e.g. my URL is https://arpitaapramanick.wordpress.com, but my site-title is Scribbles@Arpita). The basic Blogging 101 course will teach you to do this, so Point 1, again.

⇒ Blogging is about the community. If you want to generate feedback for your own site, be sure to head on to others’ blogs and say hello. Be back to the same blogs whenever you enjoy reading something there and drop a comment.

⇒ Follow blogs that you love to read, not those that follow your blog. I say this because if you don’t care enough for the blogs you’ll follow, you’ll end up having too many feeds on your Reader that you’ll never get around to reading and it’s no use either to you or the blogs that you follow.

⇒ Most often than not, personal anecdotes do well on blogs. We all love to read about personal struggles, be it in the office or the kitchen. So yes, I am interested in your personal musings, even though you think it’s not worth anyone’s attention, so don’t be shy. Bring it on!

⇒ Humour me. My world is pretty bleak most days of the year and I’d love to have a laugh over something you wrote.

⇒ “The Internet does not forget”. Be careful about the things you spill out here. Niceties is as much needed in the virtual world as in the real world, so spread a smile, spread a cheer, not the boo or the jeer. (Wow, that rhymes!)

⇒ Have a schedule for the blog-posts. Even though writing two-posts everyday may sound enticing at first, trust me when I say, it is quite difficult to keep it up for long. More often than not, you’ll be falling behind and will end up feeling stressed out. Instead, write three posts a week and continue it. Remember, this is not a 100 metres race – you have a long way to go, so take it slow.

My Nominees

I am going to cheat a little bit here, because with so many awards doing the rounds, most of those who I follow are already nominated for the same or different Awards. So, instead of 15, I will nominate 8 bloggers, in tow with my eight tips above.

Trudy at Rendezvous en New York

Anand at Blabberwockying

Vishvas at Jaztrazb

Beatriz at GardeningB

Leanne at Elle’s Adventure in China

Lauren at girlfindsnewplacesandfaces

Jellyfish Mama at Never Trust a Jellyfish

Congratulations, nominees! I’d love if you accept the nominations. If you don’t, I understand.

Liebster Award – Version 1

Yay! Another Award nomination. The musical Eva at The Musical Offering has nominated me for the Liebster Award. Incidentally, I have been nominated for a different version of the same award by Riddles and Pens (I’d get to that in another post). Thank you both for the nominations. I feel so honoured  to be in your thoughts.

The Rules:

  • Once you are nominated, make a post thanking and linking the person who nominated you.
  • Include the Liebster Award sticker in the post too.
  • Nominate 5 -10 other bloggers who you feel are worthy of this award. Let them know they have been nominated by commenting on one of their posts. You can also nominate the person who nominated you.
  • Ensure all of these bloggers have less than 200 followers.
  • Lastly, COPY these rules in the post.

My Nominees are:

Fire and Ice

Riddles and Pens

The Infinity Dreams Award

I am way, way too late in posting this, but better late than never, eh? The wonderful Trudy at Rendezvous en New York nominated me for the Infinity Dreams Award about a month ago. I was a bit caught up at the moment and couldn’t get on with the response-post, but thank you so much Trudy for the nomination. I met Trudy while taking a Blogging University course and enjoyed interacting with her. She writes about her experiences in New York in her blog, besides other things, so if you wanna know New York up close, do visit her blog.

The Rules:

1.Thank and follow the blog that nominated you.

2.Tell us 11 facts about yourself.

3.Answer the questions that were set for you to answer.

4.Nominate 11 bloggers and set questions for them.

11 Facts about Myself:

  1. I have no idea why tea is so important to people. I’d have some Cold Coffee at Cafe Coffee Day anytime, but I am not a coffee person, either. Find it weird, anyone?
  2. Music doesn’t speak to me. Yes, I do occasionally hum tunes, but I don’t have any music stored in my hard disk. My phone has only four songs! Oh, and don’t ask what they are.
  3. Popular fiction is great, but literary fiction is my thing.
  4. I will travel inter-state for the first time in my life later this year.
  5. The strongest love relationships that I have stemmed from an initial hate. Case in point: Tyrion Lannister, and recently, Jaime Lannister too.
  6. Height has always been one of my complexes.
  7. I hated computers in school. I took up electronics engineering in college to stay away from programming. Only, computers don’t quite leave you in the 21st century, do they?
  8. I have wanted to learn French since third year of college. I know ‘oi’ is pronounced as ‘owa’ in French and I am so proud of myself for that!
  9. I love blogging. And I love turning non-bloggers to blogger all the more. Since I started blogging on WordPress I had a teacher, a roommate and a cousin start blogging as well! A pat on the back, you say? Merci. Merci beau coup!
  10. The last movie I truly liked was Two Days, One Night.
  11. I think squirrels are as cute as rabbits, if not more.

My Answers to Trudy’s Questions:

1.How long have you been blogging?

I have been blogging on Scribbles@Arpita since March, 2015, but I had been blogging on Blogger on and off since 2011.

2.What made you start blogging?

I would answer that w.r.t to this blog, Scribbles@Arpita. The motivation to start this blog is written plainly in my very first post. Please check it out.

3.How do you relax?

Actually, I don’t. Whatever I do seems like work to me! Jokes apart, I binge-watch Castle or read a book or simply have a chat with my mother or a friend on the phone.

4.What is your favorite season? And why?

I love  the start of every season (after that the extremes each brings becomes too much for me). But if I were to choose a favourite, it would probably be winter. I love how the colours break all around me during winters: the colourful roses, marigold, dahlias and so many other flowers that suddenly sprout up in every garden of the neighbourhood.

5.Do you cook? Do you enjoy it?

I am only recently learning to cook, with help from my mother and I absolutely love it. I was afraid of fire and sharp objects before. Learning to cook have helped me overcome my fears. Most importantly, now I do not (hopefully) have to depend on the pathetic food when I live outside home again.

6.What is your favorite type of music?

Like I said, not a music person this one. But occasionally some Bollywood music catches my ears and I keep humming it until my mother gets bugged and begs me to stop.

7.What is your favorite television show?

I like TV interviews, detective series. Castle, for example! White Collar is another favourite. But GoT beats them all.

8.Are you a morning or night person?

Definitely morning!

9.Are you a sweet or savory person?

Sweet, I guess. But I am no judge of myself.

10.Are you an avid reader?

I try to be, yeah!

11.On your last trip where did you go?

In the nooks and crannies of Kolkata, before I left the city to come home after college ended.

11 Questions for my Nominees:

  1. Tell me, in one sentence, what is your blog about?
  2. Who is your best friend?
  3. Do you have pets?
  4. If you could meet one person from any period in history (it may even be fictional), who would it be?
  5. What is the sweetest thing someone ever did for you?
  6. Which were the best years of your life – childhood, youth or whichever age you’re now?
  7. Do you suffer from any kind of phobia?
  8. Can you spend the day without looking at the clock?
  9. Which is the cutest animal that you’ve ever seen for real?
  10. Do wishes come true?
  11. The last but not the least, the classic one: Love is ……………

My Nominees:

  1. A Reading Writer
  2. Anand’s Parodies and Caricatures
  3. The Idler Channel
  4. Blabberwockying
  5. What the Woman Wrote
  6. My Enduring Bones
  7. Can I Inspire You?
  8. Elle’s Adventure in China
  9. Simple Moments of Life
  10. Arpita’s Travelogue
  11. Staying the Course

I have been fortunate enough to meet some great people while blogging on WordPress and would have happily nominated them, only if they did not have the No Award Policy.

A word for my nominees: I know this Award makes you work hard, and the response post demands to be long, but what good is an Award if we don’t have to work hard for it? I’d love if you all accept the nomination. But if you don’t, that is okay too! So, have fun with the post. I’m looking forward to your responses.

Whoa, I have done it! And you’ve done it too – thank you so much for reading the whole post!

Oil on canvas 6x8
The last Saturday of September ad the two first Saturdays of October, i will be teaching a workshop on the Canadian impressionist Manly MacDonald.
The Parrott Gallery in town has an extensive collection of this artist , each of the students will have a painting of Manly for three Saturdays to copy  under my instructions.
This two paintings above are copies I did myself in order to understand and also to measure the timing that will take to do them. I have to say that his paintings are a bit muddy due to the bad varnishes and the pass of time plus also he always paint outdoors, non the less there are so many things to learn from this great artist.

Studio at the Farm said...

Jesus, thank you for introducing me to Mr. MacDonald's painting. It's quite beautiful.

jesusest@gmail.com said...

you are welcome Kathryn, i am talking with the director of the Gallery to be able to do a Blog on Manly MacDonald, to me he was a better painter than many of the group of seven , he was contemporary of them, but he thought that they were a bunch of snobs. He painted all his landscapes in plain air, in winter as well. his snow paintings are amazing.i will talk more about him. Cheers.

Will M said...

Hello Jesus Esteves I have a painting of Manlys, two horses resting standing in water with land in the horizon and a bright with clouds sky.
I have not seen another like it, I can email you a photo.

Standing Eskimo Carved Ivory Polar Bear

Carved ivory standing polar bear with his large paws out and down and his red mouth wide open.  It is very impressive piece.  When I bought him from a collector, his stand was missing although there was a hole in the bottom of the carving for attachment to a base, I had the wooden base he is presently mounted on made for him.

H. of Polar Bear 4"
