BioWare Announces That Mass Effect 4 Is Fresh, Beautiful, and Now Playable By Leo Sun | More Articles December 20, 2013 Electronic Arts' (NASDAQ: EA ) BioWare studio recently announced that its upcoming Mass Effect game, tentatively titled Mass Effect 4, was already in a playable state. BioWare Edmonton and Montreal general manager Aaryn Flynn commented on the project briefly on Twitter, stating that it was "Ambitious. Beautiful. Fresh but recognizable. And fun." For those who aren't familiar with BioWare's massively popular franchise, Mass Effect is a critically acclaimed sci-fi role-playing series that has had a polarizing effect on gamers. The original trilogy allowed gamers to custom build a character known as Commander Shepard (whose gender, first name, and origin story could be modified), who gathered allies across the galaxy to battle the Borg-like synthetic race of world-destroying Reapers. Mass Effect 1. Source: Hdwpapers.com What made the Mass Effect trilogy such a personal experience for many gamers was that the choices players made in each game carried over to the next one -- characters who died in the first game would not return in subsequent games, and universe-altering decisions made in the first game could reverberate through the rest of the trilogy. Therefore, each player had a slightly different experience throughout the trilogy, which lasted well over 100 hours from start to finish. However, EA and BioWare were harshly criticized for Mass Effect 3 -- a game that not only felt rushed, but ended the trilogy on a sour, nihilistic note -- destroying most of the universe that had been painstakingly developed over the course of the three games. The backlash was so great that BioWare issued an apology to fans and ultimately patched the game's finale with a longer, although equally gloomy, ending via DLC. Not much is known about Mass Effect 4 at the moment -- except that it runs on the Frostbite 2 Engine, similar to BioWare's other major upcoming title, Dragon Age: Inquisition. However, the very existence of Mass Effect 4 has plenty of gamers wondering if EA and BioWare can redeem the franchise after the Mass Effect 3 debacle. What made Bioware great To understand how Mass Effect evolved, we need to take a look back at BioWare's history, before and after its acquisition by EA in 2007. BioWare was founded in 1995. It rose to fame with fantasy games like Baldur's Gate (1998) and Neverwinter Nights (2002), but it didn't achieve mainstream recognition until Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (2003), a seminal sci-fi role-playing game that would set the standard for the "BioWare RPG" over the next decade. nights of the Old Republic. Source: Staubick.wordpress.com Knights of the Old Republic, which was published by LucasArts and initially released for the original Xbox, took three years to develop. The game, which took place 4,000 years before the events of the Star Wars films, allowed the player to play the role of a Jedi. What made Knights truly unique was its decisions -- good acts would turn your Jedi toward the Light Side, while evil ones would lead you toward the Dark Side. Based on your actions, your characters' appearance and powers would change accordingly. In addition, the outcome of the story changed considerably based on moral decisions made throughout the game. BioWare's subsequent games, such as Jade Empire, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect, were all built upon those mechanics introduced in Knights of the Old Republic. The first Mass Effect, released in 2007 and published by Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT ) , was the perfect evolution of Knights of the Old Republic. It used the same shoot and pause system as Knights, but added more modern combat mechanics such as taking cover. Mass Effect, in many ways, represented the perfect Star Wars game without the Star Wars characters. It was also the last game that BioWare would develop before being taken over by EA. How EA changed Bioware To understand the impact that EA's acquisition had on BioWare, let's first take a look at the three Mass Effect games. Platforms Year released Total unit sales (all platforms worldwide) Mass Effect Windows, Xbox 360 2007 3.4 million Mass Effect 2 Windows, PS3, Xbox 360 2010 4.6 million Mass Effect 3 Windows, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U 2012 4.9 million Source: Vgchartz.com, as of 12/7/2013 Considering that sales numbers keep rising, and EA is spreading Mass Effect to more platforms with every sequel, the arrival of Mass Effect 4 was inevitable. EA's involvement, starting with Mass Effect 2, considerably altered the original game. The original Mass Effect had some more "hardcore" elements, which were eliminated in Mass Effect 2 and 3. For example, player customization and inventory options were simplified dramatically and the combat system was vastly improved. Mass Effect 2. Source: BioWare. The graphical enhancements in Mass Effect 2 were also extremely impressive. With EA's budget, BioWare started hiring more recognizable actors, such as Martin Sheen and Yvonne Strahovski, to give the game a truly impressive, Hollywood blockbuster feel. With all of those enhancements, however, came a lot of DLCs -- downloadable content that gamers pay extra for. Let's take a look at the number of DLCs that each Mass Effect game asked players to purchase. Number of DLCs Total combined cost (retail) Mass Effect 2 $5-$6 Mass Effect 2 15 $41-$45 Mass Effect 3 9 $58 Note: Free DLCs were included in the final count. Source: masseffect.wikia.com In other words, to enjoy the "full" Mass Effect 2 or 3 experience as EA envisioned it, players had to pay double the price of the original game. Some of the DLCs, such as Mass Effect 2's Lair of the Shadow Broker, was high-quality content, while others, such as Mass Effect 3's From Ashes, simply appeared to be deleted content from the original game. To many gamers, constantly adding on paid chapters started to ruin the franchise. No longer was Shepard's adventure decided by the choices made in the game, but it was defined by the number of additional DLC purchases made throughout the course of the trilogy. Will Mass Effect 4 be a sequel, a prequel, or neither? The original Mass Effect trilogy suffered from the same problem as Hollywood film trilogies -- it started off with a promising, self-contained story, followed it up with a flashier second chapter that ended on a cliffhanger, and concluded with a messy third act that completely tarnished memories of the original. The big problem with introducing Mass Effect 4 now is that the story -- and the known universe -- came to an abrupt end at the conclusion of the third game. Any story that happens now will have to take place prior to the original trilogy or possibly thousands of years in the future. However, the universe that BioWare created with the original trilogy, now expanded with comic books and novels, is as rich as the Star Wars universe. If done right, Mass Effect 4 could very well be worth the wait. What do you think, dear readers? Will BioWare take its time and impress us with Mass Effect 4, or is it destined to become a bloated mess that reminds us just how much EA has changed BioWare? http://www.fool.com/investing/gener...mass-effect-4-is-fresh-beau.aspx#.Ur6-qvXnYuo
great.. the mass effect series are some of my favorite games.. I also am probably one of the few who really had no issues with the ending of ME3... grant you i only played the extended cut.. and didn't see the original ending ... but the DLC ending i thought was a good ending.... especially for a Trilogy... IMO endings rarely live up to the rest of a story( especially in series, be it books, movie, TV, games) as for what the 4th game should be.... two thoughts are 1 - prequel... set when Humans finally find the Relays.. and the early struggles of Mankind 2 - sequel - the wars etc taking place after the events of 3.. in the slow re-building phase of the Universe..
A lot of people will talk about being skeptical or maybe even not wanting to buy the next Mass Effect, but to be honest I'm really looking forward to the next game. Everything I've seen from DA: Inquisition looks great and I believe the next ME will be the same. Maybe I'm just optimistic. I'll have a hard time moving on from the 1st Trilogies cast, but I still am looking forward to the next game and what it will be about. Will be nice when we start to hear a little more about it.
We'll see when they release them. EA doesn't spend hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising to make their games look "bad" before release.
I think it's funny when people say that EA's big budget is responsible for the graphical upgrades. Truth is that ME2 was nearly complete when the acquisition took place, so EA didn't have as big of an influence in the graphics/gameplay upgrades as people have been led to believe. I think BW got together with some guys from Epic (GoW) and ME2 was the product of that.
Because we all know what will come. I think it will be bad like episodes 1-3 of the Star Wars Series.
Not if it has nothing to do with the Mass Effect trilogy. Besides, knowing what happened is definitely not why the Star Wars prequels were bad. I can not see any way, without ignoring Mass Effect 3, that a sequel could be made to mass effect. Honestly i'd much rather explore more of the Mass Effect universe that i already know and love, not the new "everyone is an ascended being-cyborge thing/all technology and mass relays have been destroyed/galactic police state controlled by Shepard" shit universe. I'd like to see Pallaven, Thessia, and Earth in their prime, not in some ravaged post war state. A prequel would contain the things most of us care about, would be safer, and Bioware wouldn't have to ignore large chunks of Mass Effect 3.
I'll admit that Bioware didn't make making a sequel to Mass effect easy after #3, but impossible?? I don't think so. I'd like to think I'm a fairly intelligent guy, but I couldn't come up w/ a fraction of the shit that these writers come up with for books and movies and yes video games. Again, even though they broke a few eggs along the way I have to believe that Bioware didn't go into ME3 thinking that this was going to be it for Mass Effect. It was a popular franchise w/ a lot of potential for other stories once they wrapped up Shepard's. I find it hard to believe that they just flipped a coin afterwards and it landed on tails and so they decided to continue to make Mass Effect games with no pre-thought idea on where to take the franchise next. I mean WE all sit around here and make thread after thread year after year about where the next game will go and we don't even make the game. Do we really think the folks at Bioware never even entertained an idea about it? I'm confident they found a way to work it out. Whether it's a game so far in the future that shit has changed thing, or an alternate time line thing, or alternate universe thing, or we simply were just screwin with you guys with that last game and none of that shit actually happened thing. Turns out Shepard was in a coma the WHOLE time. We'll find out at some point, but it's happening. The game is being made. And I really don't think it's gonna be a prequel. At least I hope not.
No i'm sure i could come up with something, the problem is that you would pretty much have to make three different games, or put it so far in the future that what you did in Mass Effect 3 wouldn't matter (and i don't think even that could get around Synthesis). In any case you have to find some way to ignore what happened in the last fifteen minutes, because the galaxy is fundamentally changed after whatever decision you make. I don't really know what about that opinion is wrong to you.
There are other possibilities as well, like the millions of years worth of cycles and different organic races to choose from. Maybe a story set during the Prothean empire or a preceding cycle, different game and not a direct prequel.
A game I always thought would be interesting would be something like you get to play as the squadmates during their times before meeting Shepard. Like playing as Garrus during his C-Sec days, Thane as an Assassin, Samara during her Justicar adventures, Wrex's Bounty Hunter days, Tali on her pilgrimage, etc. I know that Grunt & Liara are two that wouldn't be exciting, but you could play as Okeer leading up to Grunt's creation. Find out why he is an old & hated name by the Krogan. And for Liara you could play during her time becoming an information broker while Shepard was being rebuilt. Call it Mass Effect Chronicles or something. lol!
I don't know that I would want a true sequel or prequel. What I mean is, sure I would like to see it in the same universe and all that but I would personally like the new game(s) to have a stand alone story, completely free of any baggage. I'd rather not hear too much about Shepard and his adventures or anything else from the first 3 games. I like the way The Elder Scrolls works where a story will still leave bits of history and nods to the fans of the series but each instalment is self contained. I don't want Bioware to have to spend too much time explaining what's going on to all the noobs.
I'd love to see more of the Prothean Empire, Javik was one of my favourites of the series. The glimpse we got of Prothean culture through "From Ashes" was so interesting and creative. Unfortunately so many people keep talking about wanting to be human that I doubt Bioware will get the opportunity to give us anything like that. It would definitely be cool though.
That article is obviously just somebody's opinion and speculation, but I don't really buy it. Now this is just MY opinion, but I don't really see Bioware making ME games that focus on specific ME characters. Fans are lunatics about being able to play as different races and create their own character. Forcing you to play as JUST Garrus or Aria, ect. would be cool for some, but a lot of people wouldn't like not having the options. They complained about only playing as a human in ME and DA. I wouldn't be shocked if they did a game that was during the Reaper wars, but again I don't see it. It's not like you can play as some character doin something else and just completely ignore the shit storm going on in the rest of the universe. I honestly don't know what direction Bioware takes ME. I just don't think it's that way.
I always figured it was gonna be around/during the time of the Reaper War. I had hoped it would be in the future personally; I don't think many would care if they made one option(likely destroy) cannon as they were all handled like shit anyway. You set it in the future, you have almost unlimited flexibility, can make a whole new big bad guy, see how the galaxy has changed and the impact of Shepard's action(geth and quarians, genophage cured, etc.) Sadly, I would be surprised if they do this.
I think most people can agree that the ending and the 3 options were not handled well. That's been pretty well established on these boards. And by established I mean beaten to death. Who knows how Bioware ends up addressing that. There are talented writers out there, maybe they figure out a way to work through all of it, or maybe Bioware just comes out and says look, we painted ourselves into a corner w/ ME3 and we realize that, but to solve it we're just gonna take the bullet on this one and choose (Insert ending here) as the canon ending and the future of ME goes off of that history. Maybe they say fuck it and never make games that take place after ME3. I don't know, although I just don't imagine that being the case. Bioware themselves have said that there is still so much to do w/ the universe. I don't think they would limit themselves to just one time period. Just my 2 cents. I would prefer and love a ME game that takes place in the future after ME3. I think it would be cool to see how the universe has changed. How the Krogan have changed and evolved w/what Rex was doing w/ them and the genophage. To see how the Quarians have adapted back to Rannoch and living w/ the Geth. Perhaps actually get to see them walking around w/ out their suits in certain areas instead of some bullshit photo on a nightstand. See how maybe the Council has changed. Perhaps other races like the Elcor, Volus, Hanar and/or Quarians have become members. Maybe a species like the Vorcha has evolved over time and have become more of a formidable and respected race in the galaxy. See how the Batarians have been received and changed over the years. Maybe even a new race has come around. I just think there's too much good stuff to consider going forward to let a poorly handled and short sighted ending ruin the future of the franchise.
This. With all the bitching of the salarians about how the Krogan will turn out just like they did after the Rachni Wars, it would be nice to see if they stood up for peace and how far their culture advanced, if they had a cultural renaissance, or if they did mess things up. Or, conversely, how the galaxy would be if you didn't cure the genophage(some would say more of the same, but after a Reaper War, they would probably be even worse off then they were before hand). Same thing with quarians and geth; what can their two cultures gain from each other? How far along is Rannoch? Are the geth anymore respected then they were before? The salarians had wanted to upraise that race of giant shadow brokers(can't remember the alien species name lol). Did they go through with it? What are the consequences of that? there's just a lot of things that i think would be beyond awesome experiencing in a new mass effect game, I just doubt Bioware is going that direction just off a personal hunch more then anything.
If it was a future game. This is a story I personally would like. Destroy would be the cannon, as Control & Synthesis are supposedly utopian societies in which the Galaxy is happy and there is never any conflict ever again, because in control Shepard Reaper polices the galaxy insuring peace, and Synthesis everyone is one with each other and there is no more hate and disagreement or conflict. So after destroy, it's five hundred years in the future. This allows you not to wonder why Garrus, Tali, Wrex, Miranda, Ashley, Kaidan, Jacob, Joker, Samara, etc. don't have cameos. It's been long enough that most of the OG cast are dead from natural causes and depending on a carry over save file, you will get little hints and easter eggs to the original games and characters. Life has finally leveled out and the galaxy has rebuilt and is back to status quo. Not too much advancement as they've been trying to rebuild the galaxy and not really focusing on future tech so much, because they've just been trying to get their lives back to being familiar. You start out on a new colony world. You can choose to be either a Human, Turian, Salarian, Krogan, Asari, or Quarian (You would get to pick some choices from the earlier games or have made certain choices in a carry over to be able to play as Krogan & Quarian of course). As this is one of the first new colony worlds to be settled since the Reaper war, not the first, but one of the first crop. After the war many of the old hatreds are gone. The races faced near galactic extinction together. So they gained a new perspective and most have let old wounds heal. So, many of the new colonies are mixed with their races. This game will mention the previous games, but not be directly connected except for maybe one or two characters showing up and the occasional monument you see. Your colony has been having problems with communications and has basically just been a bad start up. You meet up with a Human security guard which is revealed to be your best friend. He's going with you to your next destination depending on what class you pick. Your classes will determine the different starter stories rather than your races like the beginning of Dragon Age Origins. Each class Soldier, Engineer, Infiltrator, Adept, Vanguard, & Sentinel will each have a different starter story. Each class has a back story. Some classes are former military who have had some training. While others aren't. But none are active in the military and are pretty much just civilians now trying to start a new life. At some point during your start up play through, large ships start landing on the colony. Hulking monsters in armor come out of the ships and start attacking. You and your security guard friend have choices to make. Save certain civilians allowing them to get to escape shuttles and picking up two squad mates, an Asari & Turian. These two parts where you get the potential squad mates are the only parts of each starter story that are the same for every class. Or you just dead run, fighting along the way to an escape shuttle of your own and losing those two squad mates forever. Either way eventually you reach a shuttle and you get into a battle with one of the hulking monsters. During this you and your allies can fight and eventually win a seemingly no win fight or you can be a dick and sacrifice your Human best friend and get on the shuttle either by yourself or with the Asari & Turian allies you picked up. As you're leaving the hulking monster removes it's helmet and you see it's a Yahg. Well us fans know it's a Yahg. To most of the galaxy they don't know what a Yahg is. That's just the beginning of my own personal idea for the next game. If you like it great. If you want to hear more about it then just ask. If you don't like it, then that's okay. It's most likely never going to be a reality so you have nothing to worry about.
Lol! I tried, but my pad wouldn't let me space down. So finally I said screw it and just wrote it like that. lol!
Holy wall of words Batman! I like the idea of doing a DA type of thing, but I think it would make more sense to do the "Origins" off the races like in DA. Bioware doesn't really seem to wanna do that w/ DA again, so don't know that we will see in ME. I would be down though.
A sequel to the series would, as someone pointed out, would be more prudent, although it will have to cover up a lot of loose ends. Whatever be the case, the graphics need to be dramatically improved for the PC. I was, and not the only one, sorely disappointed with the bad (but not terrible) graphics of mass effect 3. Those textures... They drove me crazy. Regardless, it's an iteration to look forward to. Bioware/EA got a lot if things right with mass effect 3, so there's no reason to expect they shall be removed. The improved cover system was rather good, I thought. To cut along story short, expectations are high, definitely. Hopefully Bioware lives up to them, and hopefully they follow this: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
I will miss being sheopard but I liked the 3rd game till the end, I still dont like the ending and I just completed it for the second time. Just not a good way to end a series, most games have a good ending or a bad ending. Surprisingly *SPOILERS* wolfenstein had a rather sad ending, kinda disappointing how it just ends. It doesn't tell you if there is promise for another one or not, not even sure if I can count it as a cliff hanger or not. Still I hope they add physics in the next mass effect game, have more variety of powers, perhaps being able to play as a different species and have much smarter ai, and more vehicles. You are in the most advanced starship yet it never sees actual combat that you see.
I loved the trilogy despite the horrific ending. However, as much as I want to remember my experience throughout this huge universe of Mass Effect that I know of, I would actually prefer Bioware to just completely reboot the series. Reboot everything. I just hope the next Mass Effect keeps some elements that the trilogy had like red scarring when you're a Paragon, having 3 people with you on the battle field at all times, the Adept class, every species that we encountered in the trilogy (except for the Reapers), and being able to explore planets in different solar systems. But I also hope that they greatly improve on these elements and other elements that were missing from the trilogy such as having your choices play more of a big role in the game, bringing back the RPG feel that the original Mass Effect had but improve it as well, have us be able to customize the Normandy, have us be able to explore planets on a vehicle again but improve that as well, etc... And one more IMPORTANT thing IMO that they need to have in the next game: the Vigil song. That song IS Mass Effect.
I agree. God no. Yes the original trilogy had flaws, but it was damn near perfection. With it most likely being updated and brought to next gen consoles, BioWare could fix some things and make a continuation of the Galaxy after the Reapers. I know I would love to see that. See how actions affected the future
Rebooting would be pointless. You reboot something when it's a story of a character that's story has been on the shelf for a while and is ready to be told again. You don't reboot a series that story just recently ended and is still alive and kicking. As I've said before, there's still plenty of stories to be told in the Mass Effect universe. We don't need Reboots or prequels to do it.
If they set it too far into the future then that means all weapons should be laser weapons since why would bullets be needed that far into the future? Thy shouldn't go way too far into the future, 100-200 years was perfect.
The scenes of the next Mass Effect in the video clip from E3 today were beautiful. It looks like it might be more the future. But not exactly sure. Either way I'm excited. I must play it.
They showed some good looking stuff but I want to know story details before I start to look forward to it, I don't doubt Mass Effect will be fun and look good but it's how they deal with continuing after the final ending that I'm waiting to here about.
Best article about the Mass Effect achievements and failures so far. Well done and nice work, totally agree with it. It was a fair analysis not just hate or love.
Really great fond of Mass Effect game playing alot with elder brother clear approx all levels but still hard level coming. Warm up myself for playing hard level. Another game similar to Mass effect but not exactly Prototype Game which is also interesting action game. Thanks from fjackets.com
Happy N7 day everybody!! There's stuff here on IGN too, but in case you don't wanna track it down, here's the new concept art they put out today. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-concept-art-for-next-mass-effect-released/1100-6423445/ One pic reminds me of the Citadel and another gives me a Geth-y vibe. Looks good though. I mean you know... for Concept Art.
The concept art is beautiful in some. Definitely looks like the Citadel, but a different version. Maybe the rebuilt one after 3? I see the Geth influence in one and one kind of looks like Surkesh. I'm so excited, but I can wait. I want it to be beautiful & perfect when released. Not pretty & polished, but rushed & full of potential like a lot of ME3.
I think they are/will take their time. I mean many people thought we might get same screen shots or gameplay and we just got more concept art. Obviously haven't played it yet, but it seems like DA: Inquisition is getting all the right love and I'm pretty confident that the next Mass Effect will too. We already saw in prev C.A. that there was poss gonna be some new races, but they mentioned that new alien races were gonna be a thing in this game. That makes me even more curious as to whether we will be exploring the outer reaches of the Milky Way or headed to a new galaxy all together. I look forward to the new races, but hope it doesn't mean leaving behind the old ones.

On the Fourth of July
Happy Independence Day! To mark the occasion, a few digital highlights from our collections.
- The Dunlap Broadside: The first printing of the Declaration of Independence, created overnight on 4 July 1776. Copies of this broadside were read to announce independence in New York on 9 July and in Boston on 18 July. Only 26 copies of this broadside are known to exist (the 26th was recently discovered in the collections of the British National Archives). This is one of many important Declaration of Independence broadsides in the MHS collections.
- John Adams' Draft Copy of the Declaration of Independence: At some point during the drafting process, John Adams made this handwritten copy of the early Declaration of Independence (he may even have sent this copy home to Abigail). It shows the text at a middle stage, before the full Continental Congress had its way with the draft. In the Adams Family Papers.
- Thomas Jefferson's Manuscript Copy of the Declaration of Independence: A partial copy of an early version of the Declaration of Independence, in Jefferson's hand. Given to the MHS by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur C. Washburn in 1893.
- John Adams to Abigail Adams, 3 July 1776: In this letter, Adams predicts the great celebrations which would mark future Independence Days (but he suggests it will be 2 July, not 4 July, which would be so honored): "But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more." Congress voted for independence on 2 July, and approved the text of the Declaration two days later.
- Abigail Adams to John Adams, 21-22 July 1776: Here, Abigail describes hearing the Declaration read for the first time in Boston, on 18 July: "Last Thursday after hearing a very Good Sermon I went with the Multitude into Kings Street to hear the proclamation for independance read and proclamed. Some Field peices with the Train were brought there, the troops appeard under Arms and all the inhabitants assembled there (the small pox prevented many thousand from the Country). When Col. Crafts read from the Belcona of the State House the Proclamation, great attention was given to every word. As soon as he ended, the cry from the Belcona, was God Save our American States and then 3 cheers which rended the air, the Bells rang, the privateers fired, the forts and Batteries, the cannon were discharged, the platoons followed and every face appeard joyfull.Mr. Bowdoin then gave a [illegible] Sentiment, Stability and perpetuity to American independance. After dinner the kings arms were taken down from the State House and every vestage of him from every place in which it appeard and burnt in King Street. Thus ends royall Authority in this State, and all the people shall say Amen."

Binomial name | |
Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. |
Synonyms | |
Panicum sanguinale |
Digitaria sanguinalis is a species of grass known by the common name hairy crabgrass or large crabgrass. It is one of the better-known species of crabgrass, and one that is known nearly worldwide as a common weed.
It is an annual grass with an inflorescence of up to nine very long, very thin, radiating branches atop its stems. Each branch is lined with pairs of very tiny spikelets. The inflorescences may be reddish or purplish.
The seeds are edible and have been used as a grain in Germany and especially Poland, where it is sometimes cultivated.[1] This has earned it the name Polish Millet,[2] and it was brought to the United States by some emigrants to serve as hand-foraged grain. The grass is also highly nutritious, especially before the plant exhausts itself producing seed. It is frequently sown in fields to provide graze for animals, or clipped and bundled as hay. Compared to other grasses, it has a relatively high protein percentage.[3] Farmers will sometimes till patches in their pastures in the late spring, with the intent of encouraging crabgrass seed.
For human consumption, crabgrass necessarily must be harvested by hand, because it produces grain throughout summer, rather than simultaneously. Machine harvesting would require monthly passes, and even then much of the seed would go to waste. This said, crabgrass produces an exceptionally high amount of grain, it smothers other weeds, it acts as its own mulch, and it can survive both heat and drought. Its adaptability makes it a candidate for environmental small-farming.[4]
Its usefulness to nineteenth-century homesteaders, however, has made its seed widespread, and today is considered an unattractive nuisance. Crabgrass takes advantage of low fertility and drought, since this tends to weaken other grasses and it tends to invade manicured turf. It is difficult to kill, as it will regenerate, and chemicals will likely harm surrounding grasses. The most efficient means of control is to pull patches, and keep the rest of the lawn watered and mowed at a height of two-three inches.[5]

I have been looking for the hedgeye report that I thought was going to be issued today. Anyone see it?
As I posted on seeking alpha, the issue of underspending on pipeline maintenance is a red hearing. I work for a public utlities commission. and the only way these entities (KMI/KMP pipelines are FERC regulated) can make a profit is through CAPEX spending. They are allowed a regulated rate of return of about 13% (varies with utility) on any CAPEX investment. Mainenance costs are a past through, and that can't earn anything on these expenses. So what does this mean, they CAPEX any cost they can (some expense in non regulated industries are capitilized in regulated industies) and they are incentivies to make investments and discard old investments. KMI understand this very well and plays the game very well. I laughed when I read that.
The most humorous part of the report is this caveat: " The key risk to our thesis (from an investment perspective) is the lack of an identifiable catalyst. We are confident that we are right, but we do not know when the market will prove us right. Kinder Morgan has been a fantastic investment for many years, and consensus opinion could be stubborn and slow to turn." "Lack of identifiable catalyst" translates to KMI continuing to increase revenue, income and dividends, Kinder and other insiders buying more shares, other more well-respected analysts recommending KMI, etc. Anyone who sold Kinder on the tweet should call Vanguard and put all their money in the S&P index fund.
Possibly the catalyst will come when the expanding North American hydrocarbon well has been sufficiently carried away for use or export? When will that be?
Report = YAWN. Same allegations have been around the KMx family since just about day 1.
I saw a summary on Barron's. That is about it for now, I assume the report is proprietary and won't be publicly released in its entirety.
Sentiment: Hold
Nope the full report is available online. However yahoo won't let me post a link.
KMI closed at the high of the day despite Hedgeye releasing it's report 10 minus before market close. That says a lot about what the market thinks of the Hedgeye report.
No! Where is it, genius Hedgeye?
Sentiment: Strong Buy
We believe that Kinder Morgan's high-level business strategy is to starve its pipelines and related infrastructure of routine maintenance spending in order to maximize Distributable Cash Flow (DCF), IDR payments to the GP, and acquisition accretion. Then, after years of under-spending, Kinder Morgan will replace an asset, while simultaneously increasing the asset's nameplate capacity, a technicality that allows the Company to classify the entire budget of a replacement project as "expansion CapEx." Essentially, it is our opinion that Kinder Morgan defers LP maintenance expenses and CapEx, and when the large bill eventually comes due, books 100% of it as expansion CapEx, leaving DCF unimpaired. In the meantime, any environmental or legal expenses due to poorly-maintained assets are considered "certain items," which are added back to DCF. We believe that this is exactly what played out in the years after KMP acquired SFPP in 1998 and CALNEV in 2001, and we believe that Kinder Morgan is employing the same strategy with the recently-acquired El Paso assets today. 2. In our view, Kinder Morgan cuts, defers and eventually finances the LPs' maintenance spending. This could result in the LPs paying KMI IDR payments that it otherwise may not be entitled to. Cutting and deferring maintenance spending really benefits KMI, because it increases LP DCF and IDR payments, but the eventual replacement project is classified as "expansion" CapEx, and is financed with new LP capital (which also increases the IDR fee). 3. A broader, more important concern is the reliability and safety of Kinder Morgan's pipelines. In 2012, Kinder Morgan acquired El Paso, then the largest natural gas pipeline company in the US, in a +$30B deal; Kinder Morgan has already cut maintenance expenses by 70-90% and maintenance CapEx by ~60% on most of those assets. In our view, it is alarming that Kinder Morgan supporters believe that this is sound business practice. 4. Many Kinder Morgan bulls liken KMP's cash flows to a "toll road." We believe that this is inaccurate. What they don't seem to acknowledge is that Kinder Morgan is one of Texas' largest oil producers, and that ~20 – 25% of KMP's pre- GP take DCF comes from producing oil from legacy fields in the Permian Basin. While near-term cash flows are protected with hedges, the cash flows from an E&P operation are fundamentally different from a pipeline or terminal, and should be valued as such. 5. We estimate that KMP's E&P business will require ~$450MM of annual CapEx to keep production and reserves flat from 2013 levels, though, inexplicably, KMP–E&P is allocated ZERO sustaining CapEx. This issue alone represents ~20% of LP DCF. All else being equal, the incremental return on E&P expansion CapEx that doesn't expand production is ZERO. In our view, classifying this CapEx as expansion CapEx may be misleading, as well as a major source of IDR payments to KMI that it otherwise would not be entitled to. 4 SUMMARY POINTS 6. In our view, the GP, KMI, is enriched at the expense of the LPs, KMP/KMR and EPB. The IDR appears to misalign KMI and its LPs; at the current distribution, KMI collects an additional ~$4.5MM in IDRs from KMP with every 1MM units that KMP issues. When Kinder Morgan cuts, defers, and eventually finances maintenance spending, it maximizes DCF and IDR payments, while all the financing is done at the LP level, which leads to additional IDR payments. The fact that KMP unitholders continue to fund this stream of cash to the GP – which is now ~$2B per year – leads us to believe that KMP unitholders (~70% retail) don't fully understand it. 7. KMP has taken more than $1B of legal and environmental reserve charges since 2005, including a $166MM charge in 2Q13 due to another adverse rate decision in its west coast Products Pipelines segment. All of the charges are considered "certain items," and are added back to DCF. We question whether these add-backs are appropriate. 8. The complex corporate structure of KMI/KMP/KMR/EPB may distort underlying economics and valuation. We consolidate the implied market valuations and financials of KMI, K MP, and EPB for a clearer picture of current valuation. Kinder Morgan has combined market cap of ~$76B and enterprise value of ~$108B. By our estimates, Kinder Morgan trades at 24.8x P/2014E earnings, 16.0x EV/2014E EBITDA (ex. E&P), 2.7x book value, and 48.5x tangible book value. Kinder Morgan's organic growth prospects and returns may not justify these multiples. 9. The key risk to our thesis (from an investment perspective) is the lack of an identifiable catalyst. We are confident that we are right, but we do not know when the market will prove us right. Kinder Morgan has been a fantastic investment for many years, and consensus opinion could be stubborn and slow to turn. 10. In our view, the bull case for Kinder Morgan rests largely upon the logic that 'this has not mattered in the past; therefore it will not matter in the future.' That could turn out to be a dangerous way of thinking. We urge Kinder Morgan investors to consider our research in their expectations for the future, not the rearview mirror.

Very nice picture, Cynthia! Omar |
Yes, very pretty picture. I love Zinnias and butterflies, too. Growing up, Mom always had Zinnias in the yard and we would run around chasing the butterflies. It seems that there were more butterflies in those days. I remember seeing some gigantic ones, too. Don't know what kind they were but they were always a special treat to see! I currently have Zinnias growing in my yard, too. They bring back good memories! |
Like Sunny Irene I remember zinnias and lots of butterflies in my grandmother's garden when I was a little kid. She called them 'old maids' back then. Cynthia, the gulf fritilary butterflies (pictured) must think they are in heaven in your yard with all your passion vines for their caterpillars! I just read about your facebook page "Gracies Front Garden" on the shade garden question on the main forum. Loved the video on that page and am putting it below for those who might not be on facebook. |

I believe that's purple prince. It reseeds there every year and the butterflies, bee's and hummers love it. It's such a good color for those two butterflies. What is your pink zinnia? I love the soft beautiful color. |

I used to have them all in binders on a 5 shelf bookshelf , but recently moved up north and that was 62 binders.. So I put them in boxes for easier moving.. and have them all divided up with dividers.. They are all in numeric and alphabetic order so easy to run through them to back track issues or add in covers i might have missed. Still figuring out if i want to go back the binder route again or perhaps wall mount them like wall paper.. saw that once at a MC d and thought it was awesome

Cheneyville, La. May 11 - 1864 Dear Emma - I received your letter by Shepp a few days ago. Was very glad to hear that you were all well. The letter you sent by Joe, I have never received. This leaves me well or in tolerable health. I have been absent from the command for the last few days with the train. The command is ordered this morning to Marksville. We have been expecting a fight for several days. We are below the enemy. We have taken several guns, boats and transports since we have been down here. I will try and send two rings, one for the baby, if the other won't fit you or Helen, you can give it to Pats. I have some envelopes and paper I will send the first opportunity. I would like the best in the world to see you all, but there is no chance at present. I suppose you have heard of the death of Doc. Elliott. He died above Natchitoches. The last time I saw him I loaned him 15 dollars. I thought he would die when I saw him. Nat Sledge was wounded at Pleasant Hill and died. I did not know it until a few days ago. I did not get to see him. Uncle ____________ and his two daughters came to see him, but he was dead. I was there at the same time, but did not see any of them. Gessie Gunn told me all about it. He also told me that Aunt ???ly's husband was in another division. Cutright is in Lane's regiment the same that Nat belongs to. You must write soon and often. Kiss the children and tell them something. My respects to all Yours as ever J. L. Moss Submitter's Note: I have only a typed transcription of this letter. I do not know who has the original letter, nor who did the transcription. J. L. Moss is James Lundy Moss. Emma is his wife, Emma Margaret Sale Moss. James enlisted in Company A, 28th Louisiana Infantry (Gray's). He was mustered in at Monroe, La., May 8, 1862. James and Emma lived in Bienville Parish at this time. After the war, they removed to Linden, Texas (Cass County) where James died February 14, 1869. Emma returned to Claiborne Parish, lived with her brother S. A. Sale in Haynesville, and taught school for a number of years. She is buried in Old Town Cemetery, Haynesville, La. This letter is written after the Battles of Mansfield and Pleasant Hill. The 28th Louisiana is in pursuit of General Nathaniel Banks' army. In just 5 days they will catch up with him at Mansura and two days later they will fight their last and bloodiest battle at Yellow Bayou. "Helen" is Helen Carter Sale Moss, Emma's sister who is married to James' brother Gabriel. "The baby" is Fannie Burch Moss, James' youngest child and only daughter at the time. She was born after James left for war and is under 2 at the time this letter is written. Her brother Gabe is 6 and her brother Bill is 4. James and Emma will have another son, James, and another daughter, Lula Emma, after the war. Nat Sledge is likely James' first cousin, son of his mother's sister, Rebecca Lundy and Mims Sledge. Nathaniel Sledge died April 14, 1864 at the Battle of Pleasant Hill. The name the transcriber could not read is probably "Uncle Mims". The "two daughters" would be Nat's sisters, Susan and Virginia.

Moodiness to the Rescue: An Automotive Fable.
When a man is discontented with himself, it has one advantage: that it puts him in an excellent frame of mind for making a bargain. ~Laurence Sterne
Amid October's brisk promise, a tepid funk descended on me like fog when my car unceremoniously expired.  I pouted about my prolonged misfortune during the hunt for a replacement. Agitated, I skulked about in the slums of my mind.  Slipping into a warm bath of resistance, I distracted myself with movies, novels and friends; yet I puzzled over my persistently sour mood, for in the scope of things my petulance was disproportionate to the reality of my circumstance. From my car's final day until the day I found another, I was never without a car to drive.  Despite the time and expense, the reality of losing my car had gone rather smoothly. What then, would explain my nagging discontent and the inability to snap out of it?
Situational depression can conceal an unwillingness to take action, even if that action is only to consider one's situation differently. There was a time in my history when living in the unrelenting shadow of vexation was perfectly acceptable. Yet yoga and meditation have taught me to inspect  chronic uneasiness and employ alternatives born of yielding rather than strategy. In the case of my lifeless car, examining my mood unearthed a subterranean and pre-existing restlessness, and once I relinquished my resistance, I could begin addressing my disquiet.
When life is challenging, we are presented with two choices: we can cave into wretchedness, in which case we surrender any power we might have had in the situation; or we can take up the gauntlet and avail ourselves to the possibility that there is something to be learned. In Native American folklore, Coyote brings playfulness and jocularity to otherwise somber occurrences. My car's fatal sputtering could be attributed to Coyote's meddling, an attempt to jostle me out of a spiritual stupor. Hardship refines our self-concept and advances our world view. Samuel Beckett tells us "laughing wild amid severest woe" attenuates weighty experience, while mental slumming pilfers joy.  Satire is more effective than melodramatic gloom. An easy, secure life might seem preferable, yet friction galvanizes wakefulness from unchallenged quiescence. In this fable of automotive anguish, moodiness pays the ransom and delivers me into the dulcifying arms of guileless awareness.

How to Clean Ripstop Nylon:
Ripstop nylon is a fabric that, like the name suggests, is not prone to tearing. This means that if there is a small hole, it will not run into a large rip very easily. Because of this durability feature, ripstop nylon is found in a number of applications. You might find ripstop nylon in clothing, umbrellas, suitcases, parachutes, kites, draperies, bed coverings and more. Ripstop nylon is also one of the easiest fabrics to clean.•l Apply the stain pretreatment to any visible stains and allow the product to sit for the amount of time recommended by the manufacturer of your stain removing product
•l Launder your ripstop nylon item in the washing machine, using cold water and the cycle recommended on the tag. If you have an item that will not fit into the washer, such as a kite or a suitcase, put the item into a bathtub with cold water or use the garden hose. Use the soft brush and some laundry detergent to lather and gently scrub your nylon item
•l Rinse your item thoroughly with cold water
•l Dry your item. You may use an electric dryer for this step, but keep the dryer on its lowest setting. Alternatively, you can hang the item to drip dry or lay it out flat to dry
Package Included:
- 1 x Mens Jacket

The Republican primaries have been heated and dramatic. But here's the dirty little secret: The candidates agree on everything. I mean, Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich, with Paul to one side. Oh, sure, there are teensy differences here and there: Santorum has this special plan for manufacturing; Romney has ideas about capital gains; Newt may be thinking moon.
But on the basics — energy, the budget, entitlements, defense, abortion, foreign policy, education, health care — they agree. There are not clashing philosophies in this campaign. There is no, say, Goldwater versus Scranton. There is simply the personal, the stylistic, the tonal.
So, in the current campaign, it's, "Romney is a big fat phony. He's inauthentic, insincere, unreal. At CPAC, he said 'severely.' Ha ha! The wife has two Cadillacs. Willard is a liberal. Willard, Willard, Willard, liberal, liberal, liberal." And, "Rick is an earmark king who has never worked a day in his life outside politics."
There is no debate in the Republican primaries — it's just personalities, psychology, and electability. You may recall that, in debates earlier in the cycle, they were arguing over the specific method by which they'd repeal Obamacare.
Since at least 2007, one question in our politics has been, "Will Romney's Mormonism keep him from being nominated or elected?" It's interesting that, in state after state, he is beating Santorum among Catholics. That would suggest that his religion may not be as great a handicap as some people thought, or hoped.
My nose is sensitive to Democratic McCarthyism, and I got a whiff the other day. Have you noticed something in the last several years? Democrats are always trying to guilt the rich. You remember Joe Biden during the 2008 campaign. "It's time to be patriotic," he said. What he meant was: Pay the taxes we impose, at whatever rate, and shut up.
Last week, Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner said that "the most fortunate Americans" should "bear a slightly larger burden of the privilege of being an American."
Forget that maybe Geithner is not the best person to deliver this message, given the tax delinquency on his record: What about this "privilege" stuff? Yes, it's a privilege to be an American — but as much for the poor as for the rich. America is one of the best places in all the world to be poor.
In any case, the question of tax policy has more to do with economic sense than patriotism. And I hope that Americans will resist the Biden-Geithner brand of McCarthyism.
I was talking to a friend last week, and she told me about a particular situation, all too common. Call my friend Mary, and call her husband John. They have a friend — call him Jim — of 30 years' standing. But Jim refuses to speak to Mary and John, because the couple has gone forthrightly conservative. Jim is a liberal (more likely a leftist).
Mary and John want very much to speak to Jim, and carry on talking about everything under the sun, excluding politics. There is so much else in life. But Jim will have nothing to do with them.
My question to Mary: "Doesn't Jim think it's weird that you want very much to speak to him, despite your political differences with him? He will not speak to you, because of political differences. According to the way he thinks — shouldn't you be equally adamant against speaking to him?"
Mary responded, "I'm sure it has never occurred to him." I'm sure too.
Have you maybe observed this kind of thing in life?
This video is a little hard to watch. It shows a group of protesters in Placetas, Cuba, chanting, "Freedom, freedom!" And then state security (I presume) swoops in, dragging them off. And I know what sort of thing they're dragged off to.
How anyone has the guts to chant "Freedom, freedom" in the middle of Cuba, I have no idea. I do know that many of my teachers and professors taught us that Communist Cuba was a benign and enlightened place.

Here we are on day four of our eight-part series, predicting the Reds season. Today, we will take a look at players who have a chance to show the greatest improvement from 2012. It was not an easy decision, but the votes came in from the Redlegs Review staff and a decision was made, sort of. It was a tie on this one.
The Most Improved Reds Players in 2013 will be...
Devin Mesoraco
@RedlegsWriter: To me, it's got to be Mesoraco. He had a very underwhelming year in 2012, playing in just 54 games while posting a .212 average to go with five home runs and 14 RBI.
