Recent Northern Michigan Reviews
My family and I stayed 10/14-17 2014. Nice place. Roomy and quiet. We enjoyed the fact that we could bring our two dogs and they had room to run around. Nice area to just relax. The wireless was fast (I had to work some while on the trip) and the dish TV was nice for our granddaughter to enjoy her Disney shows. Centrally located so that we could go out for the day and vist several nearby towns (breweries). Close to Traverse City and surrounding area
Immaculate condition inside and out...you won't regret it
We decided to travel to northern Michigan to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving and see the fall colors. We were thoroughly impressed with the entire property. Customer service was impeccable as well. Tina, the owner, responded very quickly to our emails and the property manager even called to check in and make sure everything was to our liking. Everything was so well organized, labelled and so impeccably clean! The check-in, check-out was very well detailed and not a problem. They are even quick to give back your refund! The kitchen appliances appear new. They even have a crockpot on hand that wasn't listed as part of the amenities. They have plenty of facecloths and towels and in the kitchen a very good assortment of spices. They are very safety conscious and have an emergency kit, flashlight, fire extinguisher, smoke alarm, hose, escape ladder, etc. as well as emergency numbers well displayed. The paddleboat was a favorite of the kids and they have fish food available. Husband loved the fishing cabin and wife enjoyed walking the trails and watching wildlife. Everyone enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings. We were very comfortable in terms of enough heat at this time of year. There are two TVs and some board games and cards to wind down. Don't forget to take a canoe or kayak trip on the AuSable river this time a year. It was a wonderful experience. The owners also have all kinds of pamphlets available to browse through about what to do and where to eat in the area. Many thanks to the owners for sharing their lovely home and to the managers for doing such a fantastic job!

Goolsby draws influence from symbols used to convey information (scientific or mathematical in nature) as a means to question our belief and knowledge structure.

At 6340km in length, the Yangtze is the 3rd longest river in the world, neatly dividing China into north and south and wending its way through eight very different provinces.

KGHM Polska Miedź,
copper recycling,
secondary furnace,
copper scrap,
scrap supply,
Mark Burton
LONDON Polish copper mining and smelting group KGHM Polska Miedź SA is considering investing in a new furnace to process copper scrap, market sources told AMM sister publication Metal Bulletin.
KGHM reportedly discussed whether to proceed with the development of the plant at its annual general meeting June 19.
The company has not yet made a final decision on the type of furnace it will build, and it is possible that it will look to develop a plant that will give it a foothold in the processing of complex secondary raw materials such as e-waste and residues, a source familiar with the matter said. The plant would be unlikely to be brought online before 2016 or 2017, he added.
The decision to proceed with the investment will be made against a backdrop of a significant tightening in the European scrap market, which is making it difficult for existing secondary producers to secure feed.
The global scrap market has been constrained throughout the year as scrap generation has dropped in industrial and consumer sectors. In addition, availability has dropped sharply since April in response to lower primary copper prices on the London Metal Exchange.
And supply to the Chinese market has been hurt by Operation Green Fence, with customs authorities holding back or rejecting copper scrap consignments heading into the country (amm.com, May 16). Several secondary producers in China have announced plans to close capacity due to the critical shortage of scrap there.
While the European supply situation is less critical than in China, market sources still questioned whether adding new secondary capacity in the region is wise, given that producers are already competing fiercely for material.
Unless LME prices rebound and spur scrap collectors to release more material to the market, availability this year will be worse than it was in 2009, when LME prices collapsed, market sources predicted.
While choosing to invest in a furnace that can treat complex raw materials will help to broaden its supply base, KGHM may still find it difficult to carve out a position alongside established competitors such as Hamburg, Germany-based Aurubis AG or Stockholm-based Boliden AB, market sources suggested.
The company may, however, have an advantage in sourcing scrap in the eastern European markets, sources said.
Lubin, Poland-based KGHM did not respond to a request for comment. A version of this article was first published by AMM sister publication Metal Bulletin.

Are you ready to see what's shakin' at Etsy this week? We have a little anthropomorphism, a few ceramics, some children hanging out with their imaginary pals, giddy London, and a pair of black and white striped tights that, admit it, you'd love to wear with bright red wellies!
First up is ceramicist Jasna Sokolovic. Born in Yugoslavia and now based in Vancouver, I found her while searching for ceramics recently on Etsy and couldn't wait to share her work with you today. Her etsy shop is called Jasna Ceramics and she also has a website where she shows us her process and work studio. Her ceramic bracelets are to die for. Love this lady!
Now it's time for a little human/animal hybrid action! Runny Bunny is a full-time studio artist in North Carolina who mixes man and beast using clay and paint to form rather unique pieces of art. Many artists are working with animal heads on human bodies, it's been quite popular for a long time if you think about it, consider myths and the stories you read as a child, gods and goddesses of times past… I like to see how contemporary artists interpret such stories into their work and think that Runny Bunny does a rather nice job. Etsy recently covered anthropomorphism as a trend right here.
Jessica is the talented lady behind Vol:25, a completely self taught artist who genuinely loves creating and bringing joy to her customers. Her fresh, modern prints are youthful and spirited, they evoke feelings of being a carefree little girl… Attending the town fair, eating so much cotton candy that your tummy aches, chasing fireflies… Her work is imaginative and charming.
Here's a little more cuteness for you today. This time it's Tollipop, an artist I just found last week and bookmarked right away. I have a feeling that you will like her as much as I do. Her drawings feature creative kids on the go who seem to have quite active imaginations. The artist claims that as a child she had imaginary friends, so I'm guessing her little drawings are of how she remembers her own childhood. These are very sweet.
I really love the mood here in this photo, it brings me back to the first time I visited London 12 years ago. I swear I stood at this same spot admiring the double-decker buses that my beloved Morrissey once sang about. I recall the rush of the morning commute as I stood there completely jet-lagged yet loving every minute of this city called London. This great photo by NestaHome combines both hand drawing and photography, something I hope to see more and more of in the Indie art + craft world because I really love the idea of altering photos in this way. It reminds me of this children's book that I like called Knuffle Bunny. Have you seen it?

I really like May Luk Ceramics and thought I'd share her work this evening. Pink and turquoise always scores big points with me as does fashion illustration, so of course I'm a fan. May lived in San Francisco where she studied illustration at the Academy of Art College, then moved to New York to find a job, and somehow ended up in the UK where she studied applied arts at the Glasgow School of Art and ceramics at Kensington Chelsea College. This then put her in West London, where she pursued a successful career as an illustrator while maintaining a studio designing ceramics.
Now May has hopped back over the pond and is living in New York once again, making a recent appearance at the Brooklyn Indie Market. If you'd like to see more of her decorative plates please visit her shop over at Etsy. Lovely work May and welcome back to the states!
(image from may luk ceramics)
Alissa Coe and Carly Waito met in school and upon graduating in '04 fro the Ontario College of Art and Design, they formed coe&waito to create porcelain objects from their Toronto studio. I really like seeing two creative souls bond and form a business together, it's inspiring to me as I've always wanted to partner with someone and form a small business since I tend to enjoy working with someone else more than I do alone. I've spotted coe&waito around the web before but until now, never noticed that they had an owl lamp. So sweet.
I think all of their things are fresh and very current but absolutely stunning. I'm an extremely tactile person, I have to touch everything when I'm shopping and these objects make me want to just reach into the screen and hold them. They're elegance is hard to deny.
(image from coe&waito)
It's time for Etsy Take Five Tuesdays so here's a round up of what I'm enjoying over at Etsy this week. I continue to be amazed and inspired, there is so much to fall head over heels for. See for yourself…
Wall art out of porcelain? Why not! Stepanka's work blows me away, I can't stop looking through her shop trying to decide what I'd like to order. I love what she makes and think some of you will as well. I adore her wall pillows. Everything is affordable here and original, such a good reason to support this NYC-based artist. She is definitely one I'd include if I had a storefront so if you're a small business owner it may be a nice touch to introduce her work to your community?
Robyn is an artist that I love to watch, she has a ton of skill and it's a pleasure to not only view her creations but to see that her originals are so affordable, you can own a one-of-a-kind mixed media piece for as low as $30. Not that I think art should be affordable, not at all, everyone has to come up with a price that works for them. But in the case of buyers that want to show their appreciation for original works but who are on very limited budgets, Robyn gives them a chance to start their art collection. Psst: Her Flickr gallery and blog are quite an inspiration.
I showed you the work of Lorena Siminovich last summer but I recently noticed lots of new original works in her etsy store that I know you'll love, Seeds being one of my favorites. Gorgeousness.
There's something about handmade linen covered composition books and patterned clips in the office… Office supplies shouldn't be boring! Autumn to May makes some of the prettiest handmade things, she has a nice way of layering texture, color, and objects in just the right amounts. Super feminine, too. Great product photography makes her work that much more appealing. I just blogged about her things a month ago, but with so many new items I couldn't resist giving you a second peek.

We Shall Reap
Local columnist Jimmy Reed relates a story he received lately about a company CEO testing those who would be vying to run the company after he left. They were to raise plants from a seed he gave them and, as in life, they eventually "reaped what they sowed." (June 8, 2010, Page 4)
Grisham hits home run with latest book
To borrow a prhase from one of bestselling author John Grisham's favorite sports, he has hit a home run with his latest book, "Theodore Boone – Kid Lawyer." Editor Don Whitten takes a look at the first in what appears to be a series aimed at a new audience for Grisham – readers in the 8 to 14 age group. (June 7, 2010, Page 4A)
Letters to the Editor
Lafayette Middle School and the LMS PTO wrote to thank all who took part in their "Pump Up the Presence" program this year. (June 4, 2010, Page 4A)
Best of Oxford winners section out Friday
The annual Best of Oxford winners' section published by The Oxford EAGLE is scheduled to be in Friday's paper. Editor Don Whitten writes about some of the trends and highlights of this year's voting as he thanks readers for taking part in the annual survey/poll that's very popular with advertisers and readers. (June 3, 2010, Page 4)
The law says what?
Local columnist T.J. Ray wonders about some of our laws and the enforcement of laws after hearing rumors of legalizing marijuana use in Mississippi and then seeing that many current marijuana offenders are getting off easy in court. (June 3, 2010, Page 4)
Let's look at other towns offering Sunday alcohol sales
Local restaurant owner John M. Currence writes, in a guest column, that there are two distinct sides appearing unable to give much ground in the debate over allowing the sale of alcohol in Oxford on Sundays, and he suggests that the best way to reach a compromise might be for both sides to take a look at other communities that allow Sunday sales. (June 2, 2010, Page 4)
Jimmy Arrington leaves gifts to so many
Editor Don Whitten recalls his first encounter with longtime Lafayette High football coach Jimmy Arrington and uses it to show how Arrington, who passed away Friday, affected all of those he met. (June 1, 2010, Page 4A)
Local columnist Jimmy Reed gives readers the same list of items that appeared in church bulletins to help his college students see how important it is to use proper grammar, punctuation and spelling. (June 1, 2010, Page 4A)
Can we each have our own way with Sunday sales?
Guest columnist Jerry Jordan, owner of the restaurant 208 on South Lamar, writes to explain why he and others think Oxford can, and should, support Sunday alcohol sales. (May 28, 2010, Page 4A)
End of an era with little fanfare
A lot has been made of the end of two popular TV shows, "Lost" and "24," recently, but staff writer Melanie Addington thinks that another show going off the air after 20 years – "Law and Order" – deserves a bit more attention. (May 27, 2010, Page 4)

Memory and Trauma in Postcolonial Writing
Session Organizer: Kathleen W. Smith

"Decolonizing the American Mind: The Narrative Dialogics of Cultural Trauma"
In this paper, I shall use the work of Mikhail Bakhtin to examine the ways in which memory of culturally shared trauma such as the Holocaust, American slavery, the Vietnam War, or the 9/11 attacks is formed in dialogic relationship to the narratives through which these events are depicted. From a historical perspective, dominant cultural and political forces begin to narrate these events almost immediately in what Bakhtin calls monologic discourse: a language to which there is no possible rejoinder. Such language invokes Bakhtin's "centripetal forces of language . . . which serve to unify and centralize the verbal-ideological world" ( Discourse 270), attempting—often violently—to impose a seemingly impenetrable, unified structure on our understanding of a traumatic event. These dominating discourses, particularly of politics and media, begin to colonize the American mind by structuring our understanding of traumatic events in self-aggrandizing, self-justifying, and seemingly "safe" terms.
Many of the novelistic narratives that have been centered around these historical traumas serve to disrupt the supposed unity of such monologic structures, decolonizing the mind precisely by offering alternative discourses through which to consider and understand horrifying experience. Novels like Beloved, focusing on American slavery; The Archivist, by Martha Cooley, which portrays the painful need of an American Jew to understand the violence of the Holocaust; The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien, set during the period of the Vietnam War and its aftermath; or Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, in which Jonathan Safran Foer depicts the 9/11 attacks and their effects through the voice of the child of one of the victims—all these novels invoke the multi-layered voices of dialogic discourse to complicate, stratify, and finally undermine the rigid, monologic, colonizing narratives that dominant cultural powers have offered as explanations for our cultural traumas.
All of these narratives treat traumatic experience as a locus of realized or potential meaning, and they are all preoccupied with the question of whether it is possible for language to contain such horror and still honor its reality. "Reality," of course, is always a dangerous word, but becomes insistent and finally unavoidable in a discussion of narratives that take as their subjects events that are not only non-fiction, but are traumatically and indelibly coded in the memories of large groups of people. Bakhtin offers useful terms for theorizing the difficulties that necessarily emerge from the relation of such narratives to the real when he asserts in "The Problem of the Text" that
Only an utterance has a direct relationship to reality and to the living speaking person (subject). In language there are only potential possibilities (schemata) of these relations . . . . But an utterance is defined not only by its relation to the object and to the speaking subject-author (and its relation to the language as a system of potential possibilities, givens), but . . . by its direct relation to other utterances within the limits of a given sphere of communication. ( Problem 122)
This dialogic model helps us to look at these novels and understand the power of Bakhtin's assertion that "A human act [even a horrific human act] is a potential text and can be understood (as a human act and not a physical action) only in the dialogic context of its time (as a rejoinder, as a semantic position, as a system of motives)" ("Problem" 107).
These novels are narrated out of the tension between the seemingly constant inadequacy of language to fully articulate human experience as text in Bakhtin's sense, on the one hand, and the ineluctable drive to try to create such containing narratives, on the other. That drive continues to arise, of course, precisely because an act can only be understood in its dialogic context, and the decolonizing force of all these novels emerges when we explore their complex nuances as they attempt to treat horrifying acts that exist in a broad cultural context. For instance, The Archivist , is in a sense not "about" the Holocaust at all. It is, instead, the story of one woman's response to the Holocaust, about the need to understand, tell, or narrate that story. Beloved, of course, is very much located directly in the story of American slavery, but it, too, revolves around the need of the characters and of the third-person narrator to give voice to an historical moment. O'Brien's work explicitly and repeatedly focuses on the relationship between what he calls "happening truth" and "story truth" and the many voices needed to create "story truth." And the central premise of Foer's novel involves the struggle of the first-person narrator, a son of the World Trade Center attack victim, to narrate and contain his own story.
Bakhtin would no doubt assert that the novel as a genre offers a unique opportunity to explore the connection between trauma as it is experienced by individuals and a later understanding of multiple instances of such acts as a culturally traumatizing set of events, usually conceived as a unified, single event occurring over a delineated period of time. Looking at these novels through the lens of Bakhtin's work shows us that the novel as a genre represents a postmodern refusal of such unity, recognizing it as a violent attempt to colonize the mind politically and culturally. This refusal, which unremittingly complicates and plays with meaning, will finally be the only way to narrate and thus make history of agonizing cultural moments.

"After the Indian Wars: Trauma, Memory and the Myth of Aftermath in Poems by Linda Hogan, Joy Harjo and Sherman Alexie"
In my current work, I fuse scientific and historic theories of traumatic stress with studies of modern poetics. This fusion, when applied to works by American women poets writing in the twentieth century, intervenes in key debates in trauma studies, while it historicizes and contextualizes recent contributions to poetic theory. My studies add to the work of a growing range of scholars who have applied psychiatric and medical concepts of trauma to their work in the humanities, including Dori Laub and Shoshana Felman, Dominick LaCapra, and Cathy Caruth, as well as Kevin Newmark and Benjamin Friedlander. Yet unlike much of the existing scholarship, my work focuses specifically on poetic craft, on instances of trauma experienced specifically by women, and on examples of trauma literature written in the United States, rather than Europe, after World War II.
This focus on trauma poetry by twentieth century American women offers an alternative to previous treatments of trauma writing, thus reorienting the focus of studies on the nature of traumatic experience and its effects. For example, my work challenges the criteria of "extreme experience" indicated by the original PTSD diagnosis: for women in America, sexual violence is not statistically outside the normal range of human experience. By choosing to study poems that explore the trauma of sexual violence against women, I revise the meaning of trauma from a feminist perspective. With this revision at work, I then probe America's own traumatic history by examining sites of racial, gender, and economic oppression institutionalized in American culture. If sexual violence against women is not outside the range of normal human experience, if trauma is not apart from but a part of the life experiences of an entire social group, then how does the concept of trauma even apply to groups whose political history in the United States involves ongoing, repeated, religiously sanctioned, and institutionalized traumatic events whose scope encompasses hundreds of thousands of people, rather than an individual person? Furthermore, how can we use "trauma" to understand what has been called "post-memory"—the experience of persons removed from direct experience of the trauma event who are nonetheless (in)formed by the aftermath of trauma, including its narration? One of the features of trauma symptomology is its compulsive repetition, via flashbacks and somatization, its re-appearance and return well after the discrete event has ended. How can this re-experience of trauma explain aspects of the social impact of trauma on both victims and witnesses?
In her book, Poetry After Auschwitz, Susan Gubar asserts that "after Auschwitz" is a myth—that the world continues to live in the presence of the Holocaust, and the many other, ongoing acts of genocide being perpetrated across the globe. In this presentation, I use this insight--which so closely resembles Joy Harjo's summation, "The Indian wars never ended"-- to study samples of poetry by Joy Harjo, Linda Hogan, and Sherman Alexie, three Native American writers whose work is permeated by an ever-present awareness of the losses of language, land, life and cultural identity. While these three poets all work in the lyric mode, their poetic sensibilities are diverse enough to resist the kinds of reductive reading practices that treat any one ethnically "other" writer as a spokesperson for his or her entire race—instead, I consider these poets as a sampling of voices speaking of and about the traumas of colonial encounter, Indian Removal, and the ongoing erasure of Native American cultural practices, rather than as witnesses for others.
Through my attention to the ways that memory and post-memory mediate the works of these three poets, I will suggest that the collective trauma of colonialism in America not only inflects works by Native American writers, but also implicates and involves all American writers producing "trauma texts."

"Shattering the Discourse of Silence In Its Relationship to Indigenous Defiance in 'El árbol' by Elena Garro"
To this day, imported European-centered attitudes of the XV and XVI century towards people of European and indigenous ancestry still remain, woven into the fibers of the vast tapestry of Mexican culture. In this paper I plan to identify and analyze the Aristotelean binomial of the concepts of " the powerful / the powerless" as it applies to the colonially constructed identities of "the European / the Indian" which came about due to the processes of conquest and colonization in Mexican culture and society. This analysis is done through the reading of Elena Garro's short story: "El árbol", in which a Mexican Indian woman and a bourgeis Mexican woman come face to face, in the centuries-old dilemma of control and power exercised by the European over the indigenous people.
With this shift in hierarchical ideology, all indigenous peoples of Mexico were homogenized in the eyes of the European beholder. I intend to look at how that historical act--in which the white European took over the Aztec emperor's scepter--allowed the European males to slide into a slot of privilege that allowed them to look down upon the native Mexican population.
Although the story takes place in Mexico City, in the 1960s, the text very clearly allows us to identify the processes of stratification constructed by European males, who, after arriving in the New World, placed themselves at the top of the chain of hierarchies, and forced the Indians to the bottom, thus, eliminating the previous norms of cultural stratification, --where the Aztecs had been the dominant indigenous culture, ruling over the myriad of other Indian nations. The story clearly shows that these issues of power and domination, as well as subjugation and humiliation, still exist in all spheres, including those which are domestic and feminine.

Zafer Kızılkaya, the chairman of the Mediterranean Conservation Society (AKD), and Dr. Çağan Şekercioğlu, the President of the Kuzey Doğa Society, were granted the Whitley Award, a prestigious international nature conservation prize known as the "Green Oscar".
New Horizons, June 2013 - AKD is given the prize for its efforts on providing and increasing the Gökova Special Environmental Protection Area No-Fishing Zones' effectiveness by participation of the local fishers.
AKD is the implementing NGO of the different projects under the support of the Strengthening the System of Marine and Coastal Protected Areas of Turkey Project and GEF Small Grants Programme (SGP),
AKD Chairman Mr. Zafer Kızılkaya was presented the Whitley Award, known as "Green Oscar". AKD is the implementing NGO of the different projects under the support of Strengthening the System of Marine and Coastal Protected Areas of Turkey Project (PIMS 3697) by the implementation of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization General Directorate of Natural Assets Protection and UNDP with the support of GEF-SGP.
Award was granted due to AKD's efforts on providing and increasing the Gökova Special Environmental Protection Area No-Fishing Zones' effectiveness by participation of the local fishers.
Dr. Çağan Şekercioğlu from Kuzey Doğa Society received his first Whitley Gold Award in 2008, and on this occasion, he received the 20th Anniversary Whitley Gold Award, a recognition for outstanding past winners who have made a significant contribution to global conservation, in this case for the creation of Turkey's First Wildlife Corridor.
Çağan Şekercioğlu was selected to be granted to this award among 167 outstanding past Whitley Award winners in the last 20 years. In other words, Çağan Şekercioğlu was selected as the most successful Whitley Award winner of the last 20 years for putting Turkey on the conversation map.
Dr. Çagan Şekercioğlu of the Kuzey Doğa Society (North Nature Society) has played a key role in gaining international Ramsar recognition for the Kuyucuk Lake in Turkey -home to 227 different bird species- and also initiated the country's first-ever wildlife corridor for large carnivores with the support of GEF Small Grant Programme.
The Princess Royal presented the award
The ceremony was made at the Royal Geographical Society and the prize was presented to Kızılkaya by the Princess Royal.
"Every winner has a close connection with their community, as well as experience and an understanding of the issues which often relate to human-wildlife conflict, but they also know how to make an impact through practical solutions, engaging people and initiating change at government level. That's a rare skill. Let's face it, there are 'experts' out there, who don't always have that skill, but the Whitley Award winners do", said the Princess Royal.
Conducting many projects
Establishing marine ranger system, which includes the local fishermen to increase the effectiveness of the control in the no-fishing zones of the Gökova Special Environment Protection Area and "Traditional Fishing" projects are among the projects conducted by AKD.

As I was adding to my stash of nutrition bars, I purchased a few Clif Bars to try out. One variety was the Clif Maple Nut Bar (delicious), and another was the Clif Bar Banana Nut Bread Bar.
Clif describes this as, "what happens when bananas, chocolate chips, and crunchy walnuts get friendly." My description would be a totally delicious nutty, chewy, banana-y delight. Although this doesn't taste exactly like banana bread - it's a little too sweet for that - it is still is a delicious, tasty interpretation.
Each 68 gram Clif Bar Banana Nut Bread Bar provides 240 calories, 6 grams of total fat, 1 gram of which is saturated, 5% of the daily value for sodium (120 mg), 4 grams of fiber (16% of the DV), 22 grams of sugar, and 9 grams of protein, as well as a slew of vitamins and minerals (~10-35% for most).
The ingredients list, although slightly lengthy, is all natural and 70% organic, like all other Clif bars. It starts with organic brown rice syrup - which accounts for the sweet taste and amount of sugar in this bar.
I picked up a bar for $1.89 at a local health foods store. Is this a spot-on swap for banana nut bread? Not quite. Is it delicious enough to be dessert? Yes! The Clif Maple Nut Bar is just as tasty and has the same number of calories, but there is 1 gram more fiber and protein, as well as 2 grams less sugar, so I would probably buy that variety more often than this one.
But since the calorie count in Clif bars is a tad high, I reserve these bars for days when there is some intense working out going on.

Gravity Interactive is the developer for the game Ragnarok Online, an extremely popular South Korean title. Gravity has announced that they've been working hard on another title for almost four years now, and it's nothing like the stylized cuteness of Ragnarok. Requiem: Bloodymare is the name of the new game, and it sounds about as different from Ragnarok as night is from day.
The game will make use of the high-tech Havok engine to portray a violent dystopian future. PCs will take the part of creatures forged via magic and technology to kill demons and undead creatures loosed by years of experimentation.
The article at Worlds in Motion includes commentary from Gravity's CEO Peter Kang about the company's goals, and their deliberate decision to move away from their past work. At the moment there's no expected release date, but one would expect to hear something soon; four years is a pretty good amount of game development time.
