The Vision Document
The progress on Wasteland 2 continues on at a healthy rate. Not a week goes by that I am not in a conversation with my team here or with other development groups about how wonderful this experience has been and the gratitude for the opportunity to work on a game under our terms. We are so much more efficient this way, and the game's development has a more organic process to it. Nothing in the world beats out the tinkering and re-iteration process.
I can't imagine a better way for Wasteland 2 to be created. We have your trust and a symbiotic relationship that will have us learn from each other. We are not afraid of the transparency of our process and thinking and intend to share it along the way. Our detailed reasoning of our choice of the Unity engine is just one example.
Today we are publishing our vision document for Wasteland 2 which details the sensibilities of the game itself. The ideas in this document come from things that worked in Wasteland 1 and are expected, things I have communicated previously, and suggestions/opinions from the fan boards. The role of a producer is often misunderstood and sometimes done poorly, but my role is to help shape a vision for a game, hit the right touch points and then watch it become bigger than any one person could make it. No one person can take credit for games of this size and intricacy, and for me it all starts with the vision document. My role is not to hammer on spreadsheets and task oriented management but to instead create a team that is excited and understands the totality of the game. I have been using this method since the beginning and it continues to serve me well. In the past I have had to rely wholly on my instincts but this new paradigm helps me to limit the surprises.
I would not expect too many surprises in the vision document, but it does answer much of the detail for those who might not be up to speed on many aspects of the game. We will have a section set up on our forums http://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2333 for comments and we'll read them all as usual.
Also you will note that Andrée created another gorgeous piece of art for the game that will be used for the packaging. Those who fondly remember the original Wasteland 1 box will appreciate the handing of the baton off to this new look and camera. Our next update will be to move away from the conceptual and into reality with early screen shots and camera angles...stay tuned and enjoy the vision document read.

it will be nice to see how the party oriented interaction will turn out a lot of possibilities, nice work :)
I'm sick and tired of games pretending to be RPGs, and novel driven story whit limited freedom
Creator Bill Bessette on June 15, 2012
The link heads to Google docs, so it's highly unlikely to be a bandwidth exceeded issue.
Creator SV on June 15, 2012
Is it just me or is the link leading to an (I assume) bandwidth exceeded page? Any chance of a mirror - pretty please? :3
Creator Colin Baker on June 14, 2012
I'm excited for the promise of a traditional CRPG.

Did I miss it? Did the full-sized asteroids hit the earth along with the nukes?
Creator Doug Trippe on June 13, 2012
I read "an astronomer" and was immediately excited.
Creator chaosprime on June 13, 2012
Don't get me wrong, I love me some over-the-top. I love it even more when it proceeds from a coherently built world. One of my favorite over-the-top gaming moments recently was when, in Dwarf Fortress, my guardsdwarf whose stats included "incredibly tough" got that validated when she was kicked so hard in the head by a giant beast that it knocked her back ten feet and shattered her skull -- and she got up and walked away, and over the next few months her skull healed up fine. That was a fun OMG moment because the world rules, which usually would have produced much sadder results in that situation, generated an awesome, somewhat insanely badass outcome. Compare and contrast with the fun value of stumbling across some item that is obviously Special and Different and having to do internet research to discover that it's just some developer's ode to how much he loved the second season of Bones and it doesn't do a damn thing, and hopefully the point I'm trying to get at will be clear.
Creator James Arnett on June 12, 2012
Very specific events or opportunities that add to the reality of the game, but can be missed by a less involved player make me giddy. In my first D&D campaign I managed to use my halfling thief to climb up a banister and ride two necromancers down the stairs on their faces, with my blades in their backs. Little over the top things help make it more interesting, those necromancers still gave us a fight after they got up. I agree with chaos though, keeping the humor intelligent and a little sparse makes it better. Too much and it bogs down the serious moments.
Creator Colin Baker on June 12, 2012
Personally I enjoy the 'over the top' aspect that harkens back to the old school tabletop gaming, reminds me of playing PnP rpgs in the 80's and 90's (like original Warhammer 40K).
Other then Borderlands and Fallout 3: New Vegas, I personally haven't seen to many games that hide under a protective layer of irony. In fact I personally feel that games have lost touch with fun in an attempt to present a ballsy, realistic (relatively) world.
imho, Fallout 3 suffered from cutting the humor that 1&2 had. Just my 2 cents.
Creator Skirge01 on June 12, 2012
The 3840x1080 is cut off on the bottom. It's missing nearly half the image.
Creator chaosprime on June 12, 2012
A suggestion: be careful and sparse with the humor. I love the Fallout series, but something that's gotten really irritating about it is how far it's descended into self-parody and relentless, gratuitous cultural references -- Easter eggs aren't meant to be a carpet crunching underfoot. This parallels an overall tendency to self-parody in our culture -- it seems increasingly rare for a creative work to have the balls to *be what it is* instead of hiding under a protective layer of irony, mocking itself before anybody else has the chance to. It would make me happy if you bucked this trend. Clown gangs and connect-tone-spewing robots are all well and good because you can make some kind of in-world sense out of them, given sufficient human craziness and odd technological issues. Too many cutesy in-jokes and that collapses in on itself. And, really, the whole thing is tedious at this point because it's *been done*, and done to death; Wasteland 2 will benefit from differentiating itself from the Fallout series, obviously, and taking itself more seriously would be, I think, an excellent angle for that.

Is it possible to get a wallpaper background of that top down picture on page 5 in the WL2_VisionDoc_Final.pdf? I love this new version of the very old box art of the original game. If yes, please make versions up to 2560x1600 :) Or maybe a poster??? This is sooooooo cool!

Thanks for sharing the doc! Can't wait to see more.
Creator Allen Ectal Greenhaw on June 11, 2012
That image rotated 90 degrees ccw (title banner and all) and cropped to fit a dvd case would be the perfect cover art.
Creator cursedseishi on June 11, 2012
If I fire an RPG-7 into the pistol-packing priests primary place of residence, could I also lead a bunch of said Sewer Lizards to snack on their gibbly meaty bits afterwards?
Because that sounds like lots of fun to watch as well!
Joking aside, just read through the document and I can't wait to play the game, well I couldn't wait to play the game anyways, but now it's worse!
Creator Don Reba on June 11, 2012
By the way, if you actually include "broadcasts whispering in Russian", please get someone who natively speaks the language to do them.

Creator Zebra3 on June 11, 2012
That new art is amazing! Nostalgic yet very fresh :)
Creator Noe Ridgway on June 11, 2012
So, this might be a wimpy question, but will there be a difficulty setting selection option? I loved the original Fallout and Wasteland, and eventually got to the point where I could play through them both without dying countless times, but it'd be nice to be able to customize that part of the gaming experience, as well. Another thought - I'd love to get my girlfriend into gaming, and I think she'd enjoy this one, but there's no way she'd be able to keep up if it's anywhere near as difficult as the original Wasteland.
Creator alex quakenbush on June 11, 2012

Creator Ed Hale on June 11, 2012
Yeah, another vote for a wallpaper-sized version of that image. Preferably 3840x1080... but I guess that'd be pretty stretchy. ;) 1920x1080 would work.
Looking forward to the game, but looking forward to future updates as the game develops almost as much. I really like what I'm seeing so far.

PORTLAND — Portland's Ocean Renewable Power Co. got a nod from Fast Company as one of the world's most innovative energy companies for its tidal energy project.

The company, which is headquartered in Portland and has operations in Florida and Alaska, landed as No. 8 on Fast Company's list of top energy companies.
Ocean Renewable developed the nation's first commercial, grid-tied tidal turbine in Cobscook Bay.
The company was cited "for reining in the power of the ocean current to launch the first tidal energy project in the United States."
"Thanks to an investment from the DOE, the project will initially power between 75 and 100 homes, and soon expand to 1,000 households," Fast Company said.
Fast Company's top ranking of the most innovative companies listed Nike Inc. as No. 1. Companies also got cited as innovators in their industry, ranging from data and health care to retail and robotics.

Gloucester flanker Matt Kvesic has put his time with Worcester Warriors behind him ahead of facing his old side on Sunday.
The talented openside swapped Sixways for Kingsholm earlier this year, having been on Worcester's books since the age of 14.
"I have a lot to thank them for, but I'm at a different stage of my career now," Kvesic told the Guardian.
"It's been slightly different; a new environment, new coaches, new players. I've never done anything like this before, but I've been here a while now and I'm finding my feet."
"I'm not worried about losing results because we are a good group and we will go forward, whether it's this year or next year."
Gloucester's form however has been erratic, a club with lofty ambitions currently languishing in 10th.
The form of leading players such as Kvesic and Freddie Burns has consequently dented their international ambitions with England.
"I have no one to blame but myself," added Kvesic.
"I can't sit here and blame other people. I haven't played my best rugby. I wouldn't say I've played poorly, but I've not been playing to the standard I know I should have been playing."
Kvesic therefore was left to watch on as Saracens number eight Billy Vunipola combined well with Tom Wood and captain Chris Robshaw in the November Tests.
"They worked really well ... it was a good unit," says Kvesic.
"Credit to Bills [Billy Vunipola], he had a really good start in a difficult debut against Australia and we know about Woody (blind-side flanker Tom Wood).
"He's a really good leader, he works his nuts off every game and Robbo as captain went really well again. Credit to Chris he's led the team really, really well. I'm disappointed, but I couldn't expect anything else really. I've not been playing my best rugby and those guys have worked well as a unit."

PORTLAND – A clinic that provides free medical care to low-income people who lack health insurance will run out of money at the end of February if it can't find a partner to help pay its bills.

Peggy Akers, a nurse practicioner who volunteers at the India Street Public Health Clinic, asks Charles Lafland questions during a physical at the clinic Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2012. The clinic is facing an uncertain future after losing a portion of its funding from Mercy Hospital.
Gregory Rec / Staff Photographer
For two decades, the Portland Community Free Clinic at 103 India St. was funded by Mercy Hospital and received in-kind support from the city.
A year and a half ago, Mercy stopped its annual contribution of $210,000, citing shifting priorities and its belief that Portland had other resources to serve the same kind of patients.
The clinic is now operating on an annual budget of just $100,000 -- the approximate cost of two heart bypass surgeries at a hospital -- to pay its expenses, primarily wages for three part-time employees.
The city provided $9,000 a month for July, August and September to give the clinic time to find other partners. Now, the clinic is using reserve funds, which will run out by the end of February.
The Portland Community Free Clinic serves 500 to 600 patients in Cumberland County. While poor people can get health care elsewhere in Portland, including the city's Health Care for the Homeless clinic on Portland Street, the Free Clinic targets people who earn too much to qualify for MaineCare but can't afford health insurance or visits to the doctor, said Caroline Teschke, program manager of the city's Public Health Department and administrator of the clinic.
The clinic, which operates in space leased by the city, is open from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, to accommodate people's working hours.
The care is provided by doctors and nurses who volunteer their time after they get off from work. Patients can see both primary care doctors and specialists.
Teschke said, "If Barack Obama knew we could care for 600 patients on $100,000, he would make us the gurus of health care, because it's the best deal going."
Mercy Hospital ended its partnership with the Free Clinic primarily because the Portland Community Health Center on Park Avenue, which opened in 2010, provided additional capacity to serve the same population, said Melissa Skahan, Mercy's vice president of mission effectiveness.
She said the hospital is now working closely with the new health center, although it doesn't provide money.
The health center on Park Avenue is a newer model for providing health care to poor people.
While the Free Clinic on India Street depends on volunteers, the health center has a paid staff and serves people of all incomes, including patients enrolled in MaineCare, the state's version of Medicaid. Patients pay according to their ability to pay, and the federal government provides grant support.
The clinic on India Street, by contrast, doesn't bill anyone.
In other cities around the country, volunteer-based free clinics have closed after federally qualified health centers have opened.
Teschke said that while the health center on Park Avenue is doing great work, some of the patients who use the Free Clinic would balk at the billing procedures and required co-payments. Some would likely end up seeking care in hospital emergency rooms, she said.
"Our patients like our model of care," she said. "They are responding to the support we give them."
Patients of the Portland Community Free Clinic say they are apprehensive about losing the relationships they have established with its doctors.
Leslie Riversmith, 48, a self-employed dog trainer and dog sitter, said she can't afford health insurance. Her husband, who was laid off when his factory shut down during the recession, is now a full-time student at Southern Maine Community College in South Portland. He is diabetic and she suffers from Crohn's disease.
"I am terrified," she said. "I have another year with my husband in school."
Deborah Lovely, 52, of Gorham, who is self-employed repairing rugs and taking care of elderly people in her neighborhood, said she was "freaking out" two years ago, when she was diagnosed with diabetes. She couldn't afford the visits to the doctor.
"When I went to the Free Clinic, I was so happy to find the people who work there are all volunteers," she said. "I was blown away by the great service. To think it is closing is so wrong."
A new ad hoc group called Friends of the Free Clinic has started raising money to begin the process of forming a nonprofit group to keep the clinic open.
Joan Leitzer, a psychiatrist who volunteers at the clinic, joined the effort to save it, saying it fills a gap in the health care system.
"There are people all over town who work long hours and don't have insurance," she said.

Just before Christmas, a CNN poll asked Americans whether they favored or opposed the health-reform bills moving through Congress. Forty-two percent favored them, 56 percent were opposed. This and other polls released last fall also suggested that most Americans lacked a basic understanding of the changes being proposed. Arguably, the two are connected. How many people were opposed to the legislation because they either didn't understand or misunderstood it? A clerk at a store in West Virginia told the Charleston Gazette that she tried hard to follow the twists and turns of health reform. "I know it affects me," she said, "but I can't find out what it's going to be." A friend of mine admitted that she had stopped trying to figure it out. A small business owner in Manhattan concluded: "The press has done a horrible job of translation."
Press coverage of the effort to reform health care has been largely incoherent to the man on the street. The three hundred or so posts I have written about health-care reform for CJR.org over the past two years tell the story of media coverage that failed to illuminate the crucial issues, quoted special interest groups and politicians without giving consumers enough information to judge if their claims were fact or fiction, did not dig deeply into the pros and cons of the proposals, and gave tons of ink and air time to the same handful of sources.
By now it's a familiar critique—the press did not connect the dots, there were too many he said-she said stories, not enough analysis, and so on. And yet, after a decade in which the inadequacies of traditional press strategies—objectivity, top-down coverage, the primacy of the "scoop," etc.—became ever more apparent to those of us who care about these things, those very strategies failed the country again on a story of monumental importance to every citizen.
Traditional journalism as practiced by the nation's major news outlets, even as it has been recreated on the Web, is just not good enough for a story as big and complex as health care. Such stories demand a new paradigm, and while I don't pretend to know exactly what that paradigm is or how we get there, the ways the press failed on the health-reform story provide some clues.
Traditional journalism relies on official sources to tell the story, and on health care those sources framed the narratives they wanted the public to hear. The "stars are aligned" refrain, heard from advocacy groups like Families USA and others, conveyed the idea that the chief stakeholders all supported reform. But what those stakeholders supported was "reform" that for the most part let them continue with business as usual. From the Democrats came the narrative of "affordable, quality health care"—empty, focus-group tested words that misled millions of Americans into thinking reform would bring health insurance to everyone and health care that was both cheaper and better. From Republicans we got the predictable fear-mongering about "government-run health care," but few alternate solutions. The president himself gave us the "you can keep what you've got" assurance that left many people wondering, "If that's the case, why should I care?"
Playing follow-the-newsmaker leads to he said-she said reporting, which does audiences a particular disservice on stories about contentious, difficult issues like health care—the truth is complicated and requires more explication than clashing quotes can deliver.

Regardless of what anyone thinks of Tebow as a football player, I believe the guy is an outstanding human being. I just saw a segment on ESPN where Tebow went out of his way to make things better for a disabled 16 year old life long Gator fan. I personally know someone who's severely disabled son attends FSU and has been befriended by Tebow. He doesn't have to do these things but it sure makes life a little brighter for others who are less fortunate then we are.
Back to Tebow. Today, he does not have the passing skills of a NFL quarterback. I wonder what the reaction would be if a Muslim player prostrated towards Mecca after each score and proclaimed his love for Allah at post game press conferences? Or a Buddhist... I like to thank Buddha for my blessings.

Ya'll were talking about Joe Kapp earlier. Here's a funny as hell video taken last Friday of 73 yr old Kapp throwing trading fists and cane shots with 73 year old Angelo Mosca at a CFL Grey Cup banquet. Apparently there's still some bad blood over the 1963 Grey Cup where Mosca injured Kapp's teammate with a late hit. Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kThLSiykiHY
I'll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs.
Maybe Tebow can figure a way to throw it to himself.

Forecast for Adobe Summit: Sunny and Bright
March 12, 2014 8:10 PM
CITYTECH is headed to the mountains of Salt Lake City, Utah in a little less than two weeks for Adobe Summit. A gold sponsor of Summit, CITYTECH has big plans this year that include great events, introduction of new partners and solutions, and presenting on two great topics - mobile and digital asset management for marketers.
More AEM/CQ5 SEO Best Practices: Redirects, Vanity URLs, and XML Sitemaps
February 28, 2014 9:20 PM
This blog post is part of a larger discussion on SEO, and will discuss three more SEO best practices for Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). These specific practices are useful to marketers, for purposes of awareness. I'll also dive a little bit into how you can implement some small, but highly recommended customizations to the "out of the box" features. In this post I'll cover:
Get Ready for CIRCUIT This Summer - Our Developer Conference
February 25, 2014 4:53 PM
We may be in the thick of another polar vortex in Chicago, but things are heating up here at CITYTECH. We've been cooking up some summer fun for the Adobe Experience Manager developer community. Today, we are pleased to announce CIRCUIT, our Adobe developer event, that will take place June 4-5 at the House of Blues. What?! The House of Blues? Isn't that a restaurant and a music venue? Yes, yes it is. We're going to take over the joint and their main restaurant and stage for our little soirée. This includes lunch in their renowned Foundation Room. For our first year, we want CIRCUIT to be intimate, funky, and friendly.

As browser-makers have altered the behaviors of traditional form elements to adapt them to new contexts (smaller screens, touch input), front-end developers find themselves more and more dependent on their ability to extend these basic building blocks to build efficient, intuitive interfaces for web apps.
The Importance of Regression Testing
January 15, 2014 3:47 PM
Agile Methodology seems to be the favored approach when an organization has to make frequent releases to production and requires a faster release process with new changes, improvement, or functionalities in each release to production. Regression testing is an important step in the complete testing process, one that re-tests the already-functional parts of a software project after each release. After any improvement, new functionality, or bug fix, it is crucial for the tester to make sure that other fully-working processes in the software application are still working as expected before it heads out to production.
Integrating Adobe Experience Manager with Google Tag Manager
January 8, 2014 4:35 PM
Using a tag management system (TMS) streamlines the processes for integrating your content management system with other marketing technologies. If you use Google Analytics with your Adobe Experience Manager implementation, I highly recommend looking at Google Tag Manager, Google's new TMS, as a way to create value by increasing marketing agility.
Say Hello to the New Application Support Team
December 30, 2013 4:06 AM
We have seen interest from clients who need additional support for their brand new custom AEM/CQ app, and in mid-2013 we formed an application support team. The team is chartered to help clients resolve the inevitable issues that arise after transitioning a custom Adobe AEM/CQ app from the project development team. Working closely with CITYTECH's Managed Services team, App Support is able to provide end-to-end service for all client issues.
Strategies For Fixing Misplaced AEM/CQ5 Edit Bars
December 13, 2013 8:12 PM
When building content components for an Adobe Experience Manager (CQ5) implementation, there are two basic ways you can configure author interaction with those components. One of them, the edit bar, can create some challenges for component developers who are trying to be cognizant of the content author's user experience.

The Adena Lions Club has been practicing, preparing and presenting minstrel shows in their tiny community for 62 years, and last Friday and Saturday was their 63rd- annual production.
"Viva Las Vegas" was the title, and it proved to be quite entertaining, with singing, dancing, instrumental music by the Dueces Wild band and comedy skits.
The most touching moment was the singing by Darrin Young and Drew Case to Garth Brooks' "Last Dance." It was a tribute to Theo Kanoski, a dedicated Lions member who had five years of perfect attendance in the club. He played Johnny Olson in a "Match Game" segment, was a new recruit in the Navy skit and delivered a belting yell of "Rawhide" to a "Country Gone Wild" show over the years. Kanoski died of cancer in June 2012.

SINGING — Darrin Young, Adena Lions Club president, was surrounded by young ladies when he sang "Uptown Girl" in the Billy Joel mode.
-- Esther McCoy
Bill Stephens, Buckeye Local band director, joined the jazz band in playing warm-up music, along with Ron Retzer, a noted musician throughout the area. Retzer and Joe Jancura were clowning it up when I took a photo, but I didn't get the best part captured on camera. The band played "Girl from Ipanema" as part of Act I, too.
John Parkinson, who grew up taking part in the old-fashioned shows when they were really minstrels, with endmen who made jokes and cavorted about, made a cameo appearance at the Saturday performance and likely Friday, but I didn't get to see it and received a standing ovation.
He served as announcer for many of the 62 years and on the 63rd year, had to take it easy after a heart operation. "You have been truly appreciated over the years and may your health start to bloom again, John." This is a thought from me.
Our Bradley neighbor, Megan Lecik, looked adorable as a female jailbird in black and white stripes dancing and singing to "Jailhouse Rock." Roger Warren made a convincing Frank Sinatra singing "Luck Be a Lady Tonight." Joe Jancura was in the chorus but sang a great Elton John song, "Crocodile Rock." Mike Zonkoski was Barry Manilow singing "This One's For You."
An act I took great delight in seeing was Kathy Oxley doing Tina Turner in "Proud Mary." She started in a slow mode, and I thought that she needed to jazz it up a bit. Just at that moment, she kicked it in high gear and went through Tina gyrations, belting out the song to even make Tina proud.
The West Elementary Singers, directed by Stacy Soos, did a tribute to the Jackson 5. There was a young man with a boa slung about his neck doing some fancy dance moves to "Rockin Robin."
Jessica Harr had a long, blonde wig to portray Madonna in singing "Borderline." Jessica is a nice addition to the show each year and has something different each time.
The chorus sang a Beatles, Frankie Valli and Four Seasons medley. Lamont has always been partial to the songs they sang "Oh What a Night," "Sherry" and "Walk Like a Man."
Rich Steffl sang "Danke Schoen" in Wayne Newton style and made a convincing show- girl in the "Hey Big Spender" segment, along with Young, Case, Dustin and Dennis Kinsey and Roger Moore.
Marty Packer does a wonderful job with whatever she sings, and this year it was Patsy Cline in "Walkin' After Midnight." Her daughter, Julie Erwin, sang the Connie Francis song, "Where the Boys Are." The Dueces Wild band played "Night Moves," with Dan Jones sounding like Bob Seger. He sang "Mr. Bojangles" in the Sammy Davis Jr. style and played the harmonica, along with the guitar.
Morgan Trouten sang a Shania Twain song, "You're Still the One." Rich Bolock did a nice job of "You're Nobody Til Somebody Loves You" sounding like Dean Martin. Chris Krahel sang the Tom Jones song, "It's Not Unusual." Val Zamski was attired in a slinky, red sequin dress singing "Because You Love Me" by Celine Dion.
Dennis Kinsey did a magic act putting Young in a wooden stand-up box. He berated his wife a bit in the skit, and when he opened the box to release the Lions president, his wife was standing there instead, saying "We will talk at home."
The endmen did "The Gambler," with some of the gamblers' visors turned upside down, and the chorus did a medley at the end. One of the songs was "Hey Jude" with the lights lowered and all holding LED flashlights.
It was an impressive night.

HOW LOVELY it is that for once, my deadline falls just after Crufts so, I can reflect more immediately on the show. Firstly, I want to offer my congratulations to all seven group winners and especially to Mike and Jason for Rickys win.
Every cloud has a silver lining, so the old adage goes, and for Crufts that silver lining has to have been its enforced move away from Auntie over to Channel 4/More4.
WE ALWAYS breathe a sigh of relief as best in show at Crufts is declared, and the past four days have proceeded without major incident. No doubt the organising team do the same to a much greater degree!
DUE TO my knowledge of German, my acquaintance, Chris Seidler, said, I have been asked to help with the overseas visitors at Crufts since the early days at its location in Olympia, London, on to Earls Court and still now at the NEC in Birmingham.
BEST OF luck to everyone involved with Crufts 2014 to the organisers for a trouble-free event, to exhibitors and competitors in all the other disciplines for as successful day as they could wish for, to the judges for a day they will always...
Dare I criticise the sacred ritual this month and write about the ever so delicate subject of judges approval? The minute one writes about such a subject the critics rush to say I am trying to push my personal grievance...
OBVIOUSLY it would be neither possible nor appropriate to comment on the detail of the recent tragic incidents involving dogs and young children, beyond expressing the horror of all dog owners and heartfelt sympathy to the families concerned.
THERES a very old joke about a cocky city type who stops in a country lane to ask an old farmer directions. After a long pause the rustic replies, Well, I wouldnt start from here if I was you.
As a breed club secretary I received the email from the Kennel Club earlier this week, containing its suggestions as to the numbers of dogs which should be judged for entry onto a breed club A3 list.
A TOPIC which causes endless frustration among breed clubs and indeed exhibitors is the Kennel Club's policy of asking for opinions about prospective championship show judges, only for this opinion, if negative, to be totally ignored.
I was going to write about the recent controversial changes to the Kennel Club Assured Breeder Scheme this month, and I shall return to the subject next but for now, I feel an urge to digress.
IT IS a relief that the registration totals for the final quarter of 2013 showed signs of recovery for the first three quarters of 2013 had all seen a drop compared with the same period in 2012.

second thoughts – This was my second visit to Sel De La Terre. First experience was positive. True, a bit pricey as can happen in Boston. The main course and the wine were wonderful. However tonight we decided to order a couple of appetizers and split a bottle of wine. $15 for two scallops? $15 for 1/2 doz oysters the size of a quarter each? $6.95 for six overcooked asparagus stalks? What a disappointment. I've worked and dined in Boston for more than 25 years. Unlikely I'll return to Sel De La Terre.
Excellent Food, Service, Good Value for Money – I organized a christmas eve dinner for 10 people, and Rob was seriously very helpful in with getting the reservation done, especially as I kept calling to change the reservation.
The food was really excellent, especially for a prix fixed christmas eve dinner, and really good value for money compared to other christmas eve dinners that night. We all really enjoyed ourselves and the service was good. I would definitely recommend it and am coming again.
Two hour wait for food! Skip this joint. – After arriving at 11:30 for brunch with out of town guests, our meals finally arrived at 1:30! The server apologized but there was no excuse. It was an awful wait and I will not go back to this restaurant. To top it off, the food was cold! the quiche for brunch was terrible and the omelette was passable but way too small for the $14 price.
I have tried this restaurant in the past and have enjoyed the bar, but my last two times eating there were bad experiences with either rowdy crowds or bad service.
Maybe the management is distracted because they are opening another restaurant in Back Bay, but I would recommend that you go to Legal around the corner or any restaurant in Fanueil Hall. These guys do not know how to run a restaurant.
Great French fare in your own backyard! – My boyfriend took me here for my birthday because he knows how much I love classic French food ever since I studied abroad there during college. And, let me tell you, I was reminded of just how much I have missed the rustic flavors of Southern France with every bite, and it's a good thing I'll be able to savor a slice of Provence at Sel de la Terre without ever leaving the city!
Must, must, must try the steak frites (even if it's just a bite off your neighbor's plate), never had better!
And feel free to ask about wine pairings - waiters always have good suggestions, and you might just get lucky like my boyfriend and I did, and get a personal recommendation from the chef!
Great if you're a male diner – A business colleague invited me to lunch here....we had reservations and were seated almost immediately. That was the best part of the lunch. After that, service was non-existent while we noticed that the server's other tables (all of which consisted of male or male/female parties) were receiving better service. I usually don't notice things like this, but it was so horrendous that it was difficult not to. As others have commented: save the large plates and nouveau presentation and invest it in more substantial portions. Definitely not a place I'd ever return to with some many other great venues in Boston.
Lost their touch... – When reviewers complain about the small portion size of over-reaching restaurants, this is the place they mean. Sel de la Terre is sometimes referred to as a ?moderately? priced place, but it is not. First, there is no such thing at the bar as a glass of wine under $10, apparently, and the glass is only half-full, and mixed drinks are even more. 20 minutes at the bar before seating cost $68. Appetizers averaging $11 were served on oversized plates which only dramatized how incredibly meager the portions were: one came to $5.50 per scallop (got 2!). Since this didn?t even whet the appetite, more were ordered. You just spent $70. Main courses (app $25) were tempting and perfectly prepared and cooked, and, while size isn?t supposed to matter, in this case, compared to the appetizers, there was plenty. The steak frite is Bistro-perfect and hefty, and the braised lamb was exactly right. Desserts were terrible. The ?Warm biscuit with vanilla pastry cream, brown sugar streusel and rhubarb compote? was washed out. Outstandingly bad is the misnomered special menu Profiteroles, which was a) not pastry, more like stale tough bread, b) dark-colored funny-tasting bread at that, and c) filled with a tasteless cream slime. If you are serving French or Provencal food, and one orders a classic dish, doesn?t the chef have an obligation to at least ?approximate? the original? If you had ordered the Creme Brule, would you pay for the jello they served you? In a recent Top Chief competition, a team was thrown out because they were told to prepare a certain dish, and their imaginative, edgy, creative, innovative result?didn?t taste like the requested dish. Goodbye! Advice: Have your drinks elsewhere, skip the appetizers, drink water, focus on the very good main courses, and finish with coffee. You?ll have a good time. Dinner (only) for four: $324
Excellence sans egal ! – With new locations opening (Natick and Boston Pru) my secret is out! This is my favourite restaurant in Boston period (and the new location at the Natick collection continues the culinary excellence). You simply can not go wrong here. When you visit the boulangerie for that quick morning coffee and pastry or maybe an on the go lunch special you'll be amazed at the quality and professional service for a take-out window. Sit at the bar and have a cocktail and some Petits GoUters and I tell you it takes a strong man or woman not to have dinner too! The dining room is a restful space with well orchestrated and attentive staff. The menu provides options for everyone. I recommend this place for lunch to visiting business people because your party can choose from a range of a gourmet sandwich all the way to a three course prix fixe! Where can you get that range of a selection?? Plus in Boston they have a late night dining menu. Fab wine tasting events are held on Wine Wednesdays. Private parties are done with great attention to detail. My partner Didier's mother was treated to a special birthday celebration complete with personalized menu cards for the entire party (and all the other diners were made aware of the milestone birthday celebration and joined us in complimentary birthday cake. You just can not to any better than this gem @ 255 State Street in Boston. The Natick location holds its own as well and I am excited to see what will take place when the next location opens at the new Mandrian Oriental Hotel. Only good things I am certain! Manger bien !
Horrible. – Absolutely horrible. My wife and I actually walked out on dinner (with leaving payment of course) due to many reasons. First off we live in Boston and have heard many mixed reviews from friends and as well family. We love trying all different restaurants everywhere and incredibly easy going however tonight there was an exception. We first arrived and gave our name to the reservation which we had booked several days in advance. Upon waiting an older, very rude and ?snooty? couple attempted to get a table however they had no reservations, hostess gave several options to either sit at bar, lounge, (which all serve full menu) and that wasn?t good enough so they sat them before us. No problem. We sat and had two glasses of Champaign that without doubt was the flattest, warmest champing I have ever tasted. We didn?t mention a thing. Forty five minuets after our reservation we were seated to at first a very nice server which instantly lost that charming attitude for no reason. Once again we said nothing about complaints, were very nice to him etc. We ordered appetizers which I must say were just fine. Moving on to dinner- It took exactly one hour to receive our main course after our appetizers had been cleared. We never once complained. Main course: horrible. Our plates were dropped before us, presentation completely destroyed, (ok not a big deal) but my wife?s fish special was disgusting, scales all throughout filet and to top it off a long black hair mixed with her beautifully drizzled glaze (yum) and for my lamb? dryer and tasteless beyond words a. I say no more. Our reservations were for 8pm and we walked out at 11:00 with our plates hardly touched and the check signed. Thanks Sel de la Terre!
We reserved lunch on Sunday for the restaurant week almost two weeks prior to the restaurant week start. I saw the menu on the web site well (there are no indications of no lunch nor dinner on Sunday on any websites including official, non official website of restaurant week and the Sel Dela Terre web site). We were very excited about this opportunity. However I received confirmation call from the restaurant on Sat night and they mentioned that they don?t participate on the restaurant week on weekend. When I called Sunday morning, they mentioned that they prepared for the dinner since they found discrepancies between the websites, so they decided to proceed on the dinner but not lunch. Their attitude was ?If you don?t like it, leave?. I guess famous restaurants can indicate to participate and back out anytime. I was very disappointed on the customer service over the phone and I would not go there any more. I can imagine what kind of customer service and management policy from the restaurant.Disappointed Restaurant Week
Worst service I've ever encountered – I've heard positive things about this place but when I brought my mother and her friend, who were both visiting from Japan, there for wine and appetizers, we encountered the WORST service I've ever experienced in a restaurant of that caliber. To begin with, the two hostesses did not greet us at all. I had to request a table. They gave me a look as if I had asked if I could let my dog urinate on the bar. The hostesses were busy discussing something and seemed like they did not want to deal with customers at all. They pointed us in the direction of the bar, did not budge or smile, and said no more. When I inquired about sitting outside, one of them said nastily that I had to order food to do so. Mind you, it was about 3pm on a Wednesday and there was no one sitting outside and few people inside. We walked toward the bar. It's not easy for two older women with bad backs to sit on the high bar stools and when I asked the bartender to kindly see if we could sit with our feet solidly on the ground, he was confused. Thank god there was a Legal Seafoods around the corner where we promptly went and had a wonderful meal and superb overall dining experience. Our money was well-spent at Legal Seafoods. I will absolutely never go to Sel de la Terre or recommend anyone to go there for a meal. How could I ever enjoy my food with such terrible service?!

8205 University City Blvd, Charlotte, NC | Directions 2821335.294902 -80.747498
Neighborhoods: University City South
Favorite place in Charlotte – Taiyo Pacific Grill is our favorite place to eat in Charlotte since we know each and every time we go we will be happy with both the food and the service. We have tried many different places for sushi and find Taiyo has the most consistent presentation and flavors at very reasonable prices. We love Thai food and when that mood strikes we have alwasy been happy with the flavors of the hot dishes too.
Service is always outstanding. We never can understand how this place is not more busy since it has great food at great prices.
One Word....AWESOME!!!! – I must say I love Sushi. Sushi 101 was once my favorite spot until....A friend and I decided to try Taiyo Pacific. We haven't been back to Sushi 101 since.... This place is amazing!!! So many items on the menu....The portion sizes are enormous...well worth the money. I can order one dish and get full. The sushi chef understands PRESENTATION. My favorite is the "Be mine roll" and Tuna Nigiris...extremely fresh Tuna...it's sooooo good trust me. This place is very neat and clean... Flat screen tv's and full Bar...
Don't take my word for it....See and taste for yourself...You'll luv it....ENJOY!!
Phenominal sushi – I was visiting Charlotte on business and I found Taiyo on citysearch and decided to give it a shot as all reviews thus far had been good. I went in after work (around 6) and was one of a few people there. The sushi chef was very friendly and was happy to just converse about the general minutia of life. Pro tip: ask the sushi chef to make best dishes for you. He asked me in general what I liked and went on to make 3 amazing rolls that weren't on the menu. I left stuffed and the final bill was only $28. I would've paid at least $40 for the same thing at Nikko's in uptown I'm sure and the food was just as good if not better.
Great Sushi!!! – This is a fantastic place to dine on all asian cusines. The sashimi, unagi and sushi rolls are fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and the servers are very attentive. If you enjoy sushi or any other asian meal this is the place to go in Charlotte.
Wonderful Unique Experience – This restaurant is a hidden jewel. The casual, tiki sushi bar atmosphere is a nice change from most traditional restaurants of it's kind. The menu is a mixture of many tastes, from Tsai, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean. The sushi is extraordinaire. Each piece is huge and the menu items so diverse, it'll take a while to familiarize yourself with the many, many choices. The "cooked" sushi selections are clearly marked with many chef recommendations. The service was quick, attentive and very friendly. A lunch special that day was scallion chicken in brown sauce for $4.95!! It's in a stand alone building in front of Home Depot on University Blvd. This is a unique restaurant that we desperately need in the area. Don't deny yourself many wonderful meals because of an unfamiliar name.
absolute best sushi in Charlotte – My husband and I recently tried out Taiyo after reading about it in the paper. We were amazed at how good their sushi was - beautifully presented, HUGE pieces of fish, very fresh and delicious. We have been looking for good sushi around here for a long time, and this rivals the best sushi I've had in larger, coastal cities. Truly a great find. The service was attentive and friendly, and the decor is beautiful. The rest of the menu looks good too. They have pan-Asian cuisine from all over the place, so it's a good choice if you have members of your party who aren't sushi-eaters but would enjoy Thai, Chinese, Malaysian, Vietnamese - you name it. Highly recommended.

Wow, I just tried to reply and discovered I wasn't signed in! That hasn't happened for awhile! Anyway, I love reading (with a cat on my lap), baking (with a dog or two keeping right on my heels to help me clean up if I drop something), crocheting (which is difficult with said cat on my lap!), and watching TV in the evening with the cats playing musical laps amongst us. I also enjoy theater, whether I am directing or acting - although since my spinal surgery and consequent difficulty walking and getting around in general, the directing side is much more doable! (No cats or dogs around at the theater, unless you count the ghost dog, which is one of the several beings haunting the Grand Opera House in Oshkosh, and yes, I have seen him once!)
Besides baking and cooking, i enjoy the outdoors; hiking, biking running. I also love to read and travel, but don't seem to find the time to do either.
Due to my disability, I have had to cut way back on my hobbies. I can no longer make a fghans; do crewel work or fancy embroideryI no longer teach basic cooking skills inarehab program. However, I can still read; cook& bake for my friends,family; the soup kitchen & for organizations to which I belong.I still formulate recipes for special diets( diabetic; low sodium; low fat/cholesterol .As needed I ty to do gluten free; vegetarian, anythingto allow peoplew/ special dietary /health issues to enjoy fave foods once again.
