It was chocolate that brought Kelsey and Seth Lyons to Colorado and now it's sandwiches that are making them stay. Sandwiches, that is, and the privilege of living in a place like Summit County.
The young couple moved to Summit County four years ago with the purpose of opening up their own Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory shop. While the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory is a national franchise, the Lyons own the shop and run it themselves.
"We buy rights from the parent company, we use their name, we use their recipes," Kelsey Lyons said. "In exchange, we get a name brand that people know and love."
This was perfect for the Lyons, both freshly graduated from Missouri Western University, Kelsey with a degree in economics and Seth with a degree in finance and business. The opportunity to run the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory store in Silverthorne came to Seth through the university's business program, in which he beat out other student contenders to get his first chance at running a business.
"It matched an entrepreneur, myself, with a guy that wanted to finance a business," Seth said. "The whole idea of the program was for a guy like me to be 22 years old and start a business."
And that's exactly what happened. The Lyons moved to Colorado and within 20 months had repaid the loan. Business was doing very well and in the meantime they decided that, rather than move to Denver as they had originally considered, Summit County was the right place to settle down.
"We love Summit, we love the locals. It really kind of grew on us," Kelsey said.
With business doing so well and an empty spot next door, the Lyons decided they were ready to step up and expand their reach. Since they already sold chocolate, they thought that something complementary, such as lunch and sandwiches, would go along well.
"People would ask us, 'Where can I get a sandwich?'" Kelsey said, of when she worked at the chocolate shop. "So we felt like we were filling a need."
While they were deciding the next step, a friend told them about Which Wich?, a sandwich franchise found in Denver and Boulder, as well as throughout the States. They took a trip, tried a sandwich and knew that they had found their next step.
It took them about a year to finalize everything, including applying to the franchise and attending a two-week training in Dallas, Tex. to learn about the company culture and way of business. Once they came back from that, they were ready to go. Silverthorne's Which Wich? shop opened Feb. 22 and has been getting busier by the day.
Though they said they might consider opening their own shop much further down the line, both said they liked working with franchises. It gave them a chance, both now 27 years old, to hit the ground running, so to speak, with their business.
"We like having a franchise because you buy something people know," Kelsey said. "All the structure is already there."
The new Which Wich? store sits right between the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and Chipotle at the Outlets at Silverthorne. There's even a door that connects the chocolate shop to the sandwich shop, so Kelsey and Seth can easily keep in touch throughout the day.
While Seth spends most of his time at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory or sorting out the financials and paperwork for both companies, Kelsey has taken charge of Which Wich? and can usually be found right in the thick of things. She works the counter, makes the sandwiches and chats with customers.
"I like to be out here where the action is," she said with a smile.
Although Which Wich? is a franchise, there is definitely a local and friendly feel to it. Customers can order directly from Kelsey herself and already, she said, they have a garnered a regular following.
"There are a lot of regulars already," she said, recalling one customers who comes in every day to order the same thing, which she rattles off with memorized ease. "We always say, 'The usual?'" she said, laughing. "It's fun to do that."
The Which Wich? ordering process is a little different from most restaurants, but the employees aren't afraid to jump out from behind the counter and explain it all to any bewildered-looking customers. Depending on the style of sandwich you want (vegetarian, beef, chicken, Italian) you pick up a different paper bag and use a marker to choose type of meat, cheese, sauces, vegetables, extra toppings, etc. The bag is then clipped onto a little wire and slid down the row as employees put the sandwich together.
Kelsey calls the style "fast casual," meaning that it's fast food but healthier and with more choices.
"We have 51 sandwich choices with 61 topping choices," she said. "You could literally eat a different sandwich every day of the year."
Which is a good thing, since Kelsey eats there every day. She also hasn't taken one day off of work yet since the shop opened. She gives this fact not with a sigh but a shrug and a smile, adding that she enjoys the work and the success her efforts have been receiving.
"It's a lot of fun," she said. "I really like it. I love all my employees and I love all the locals that come through. It's a lot of fun."

Create a beautiful indoor garden with our live air plants. They don't need soil to grow, so you can simply place them inside a terrarium, an aerated glass globe, or a shapely vase, and surround them with decorative objects and vase fillers for a one-of-a-kind spring arrangement.
• Water (outdoors): Water at the same time as other outdoor plans. Once leaves are wet, tillandsia does not need further watering. Avoid watering too frequently during hot and humid weather.
• Water (indoors): Submerge for a twelve-hour period in water that is low in dissolved solids and salts (rain or drinking water are best). Repeat every ten days or two weeks. Or mist tillandsia, making sure the crucial center area does not remain moist for too long. Repeat misting if the edges of the leaves start to curl up or pinch.
• Fertilizer: Add a small pinch of Epiphyte's Delight fertilizer in the soaking water. This water can be reused; be sure to remix the fertilizer evenly throughout the water before reusing.

Ability Details
Eternal Thirst is a passive ability that grants Warwick an on-hit effect.
- The attacks will apply other on-hit effects and can critically strike as normal.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
Additional Information:
- The healing portion is independent from the damage portion of the ability, meaning the heal is always the same regardless of the damage dealt to the target.
- Disregarding bonus Attack Damage, Eternal Thirst is an equivalent of ~ 5% / 10% / 15% Lifesteal at level 1 to ~ 14% / 27% / 41% Lifesteal at level 18.
Ability Details
Hungering Strike is a single targeted ability.
- Applies spell effects as a single target ability.
- Spell vamp is fully applied.
- Rylai's Crystal Scepter will apply a 35% slow.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields will block the damage.
Additional Information:
- The point of health where the base damage is equal to the percentage equivalent at each level for Hungering Strike is 938 / 1250 / 1458 / 1607 / 1719 health.
Ability Details
Hunters Call is a point blank area of effect ability.
Additional Information:
- Hunters Call has no cast time and does not interrupt Warwick's previous orders.
Ability Details
Blood Scent is a toggled ability.
Additional Information:
- Despite being a toggled ability and not a passive ability like Toxic Shot, there are no associated costs with Blood Scent.
- Upon sensing an enemy, that enemy will become visible to Warwick and his allies, even in fog of war or inside a bush.
- Stealthed units will not be revealed even if they are sensed by Warwick. He will still gain the movespeed bonus, but he will not be able to see the unit.
Ability Details
Infinite Duress is a targeted channeled blink ability.
- None of Infinite Duress's strikes can critically strike.
- Magic damage will be mitigated by magic shields.
- Spell shields PENDING FOR TEST
Additional Information:
- If Infinite Duress applies the Spellblade effect of Sheen, Iceborn Gauntlet or Trinity Force, the proc is converted into magic damage.
- Including Eternal Thirst's damage, Infinite Duress will deal a total of 332.5 / 340 / 347.5 / 355 / 370 / 470 / 485 / 500 / 515 / 530 / 630 / 645 / 660 (+ 200% bonus AD) magic damage. This is assuming you take ranks in Infinite Duress at level 6, 11 and 16 and you have had 2 stacks Eternal Thirst'.
- All the strikes have the potential to trigger and apply Spellblade but will only hit once because of the internal cooldown of this item.
- It's impossible to use Zhonya's Hourglass's active invulnerability during Infinite Duress.
- Infinite Duress still causes enemies to be suppressed and take damage even if they Flash away, as long as Warwick leapt towards them.
- Warwick will continue to deal damage and suppress the enemy even if the target is moved from blinks and knockbacks.

During extended deployments, the "dopp kit design" of our most simple toiletry bag is based on roomy tried-and-tested military shave kits. The footlong main compartment is big enough to get lost in, and the two external zippered flat slip pockets help you quickly find your medication or your toothbrush.
PACKING CUBE IN DISGUISE. One could even use the Nomad Shave Kit to carry a pair of shoes, flats, sandals or slippers, making it a "footlong packing cube," thereby keeping your other belongings free of dirt and soiling. You can stuff three Nomads across in both the Air Boss and Sky Train, they really do make great packing cubes. So you could pack one to carry socks and underwear, one with rolled t-shirts, and one to hold a pair of flats or sandals.
HANDY HANGING HANDLE. The carry handle makes it easy to hang on door handles, or wrench out from being buried under other luggage (an especially "handy" feature while using this packing cube during overland travel). Heavy-duty #10YKK zippers all come with our Fair Trade Monkey Fist Zip Knots for quick and easy zip open and close action.
A TOILETRY KIT BUILT LIKE A TANK. Our customers like to define our gear as "built like a tank". While obviously you're not going to be toting around shave kits that weigh 20 tons and have two inches of armor plate, still the comparison is valid. For a shave kit, Nomads are built tough. Starting with one of the most durable textile materials available, 1000 weight CORDURA® nylon, we use super strong UV resistant thread that is stitched into every seam.
BOUND AND BAGGED! Places where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together are then bound, that is, we take a long piece of one inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together, this creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag. All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors toiletry shave kits that brag of "binding" their edges.
MY, WHAT BIG ZIPPERS YOU HAVE! The reason Red Oxx uses the largest zipper we can afford, the #10 YKK VISLON® zipper, is that they are easily repairable, even in the field; they will hold their place, that is, they "lock"; they are difficult to penetrate, thereby increasing the security of your belongings; they function smoothly in inclement weather and they can be yanked from a variety of angles without losing teeth or becoming separated.
Like everything we build, the Red Oxx Nomad Shave Kit is guaranteed to never come apart. Choose from 12 vibrant colors. Mix-and-match or color coordinate to keep everything organized.
The Nomad: another simple, yet effective, multi-use soft-sided bag from Red Oxx.
PLACE YOUR ORDER TODAY. Due to high demand, we encourage you to place your order now to get your Nomad Shave Kit on our production schedule. It will then be shipped in under 14 days. Like retirement, it's worth the wait.
External Dimensions: 12"L x 5"W x 4"H. Capacity: 240 cubic Inches. Weight: 0.6 pounds.
Pocket measurements:
"No Bull" no question's asked Lifetime Warranty. Designed AND handmade in Billings, Montana USA. UPS Transit Shipping Time Map.
Witness the birth of your bag and learn about the many steps it takes to handcraft your Nomad.
Meet the thundering herd who build your gear with pride.
Online orders will receive an order confirmation email, a UPS tracking information email when your order ships and a product review request follow-up email eight weeks after delivery.

Every great bag needs cool accessories.
Nomad Trivia: Some have even found it useful as a Ditty Bag, also known as a "sailors housewife."

Closing the gap with the Doubleneck guitar
The open center of the headpieces gives them a unique and striking look, and reduces weight by using minimal wood to support the Gotoh "Stealth" tuners
Article Summary
Probably the most famous example of a twin neck guitar is the Siamese SG used by the likes of Jimmy Page and Don Felder – the Gibson EDS-1275. With its new Doubleneck guitar, Veillette Guitars has managed to narrow the gap between the two necks in a lightweight package to offer a more comfortable experience for the player. Angular bridges also mean that the guitarist can pick hard or strum wildly on the upper 12-string section without fear of accidentally encroaching on the 6-string's domain.

Pure Sensia DAB/WiFi touchscreen radio
The Pure Sensia touchscreen radio - a Swiss army knife of a device
Article Summary
Not long ago, radio manufacturers had only to worry about the basic look of their devices. Rarely were new stations added, reception methods hadn't changed in a long time and, generally, smaller was better. Sure, they had to combine an alarm clock in some models, but that wasn't too difficult. Now a radio has to be a veritable Swiss army knife of appliances, and this is where the new Sensia from Pure excels. Its list of features includes a large color touch screen display, DAB, FM stereo and digital radio with full Band III, wireless media streaming, input from iPods/iPhones and MP3 players, and Pure Apps that let you connect with Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and thousands of podcasts.

Raspberry and Nutella Crepes
Last week the farmers market was overflowing with amazing looking strawberries and so this week I planned to take advantage of them. Alas, this week there was not a single strawberry to be found. They had all been replace with a sea of raspberries and cherries. Although I was glad to see the raspberries and cherries, the lack of strawberries kind of tore a hole in my meal plan for the week and in particular for my Sunday breakfast. Not to worry; I was sure that I could come up with a way to use the raspberries that would be worthy of being a Sunday morning breakfast! The first thing that came to mind was one of my favorite stand byes, fruit or berries and chocolate hazelnut spread crepes. In addition to using the luscious raspberries in their natural form I decided to make a simple raspberry sauce, or jam, to go with them. I used the raspberry sauce both spread inside the crepes and drizzled on top to maximum the raspberry experience. The raspberry and chocolate flavour combination is just magical and these crepes certainly made the cut for a Sunday morning breakfast!
Raspberry and Nutella Crepes

Hello. I'm contemplating 2 trilogies for my next read. The Deryni Chronicles by Katherine Kurtz and The Book of Words by J.V. Jones. Which one did you more enjoy? Any opinions/suggestions?
Interesting choices. I've read both and found both to be good reads. Jones's work is definitely shorter, as in less books to tackle. The Deryni Chronicles may be a trilogy, but there are a lot more books that connect to them both as prequels and sequels.If I had to pick, I think I would go with the Deryni Chronicles. I just liked them better. Lady Fox
Why the series by Kurtz? I've never read that series, The Denyri (Sp), but, I have always seen it.. Wouldnt mind knowing more about it? It's Political? Magic? Etc... Compare it to something else maybe? I'm curious..=) Keyoke
Hi,Keyoke! I've read that trilogy and I can tell it is pretty good. It is one of Arthurian cycle books. It tells (the way the author sees it) story of Merlin. There lots of politics, but the book doesn't go in depth. IMO, the main concentration is on character's feelings and movings. It has pretty good style and some witty conversaitions, but mostly it is average. You could try to read it, but it is the matter of taste.
Lani, I believe you are mistaken. The Deryni books ARE NOT!! a retelling of the Authur legend. I think you are confusing them with a series of books by Katherine Kerr called the Chronicles of Deverry. The Deryni are a people with "magical" powers - truth reading, healing, and actual fighting skills using magic spells that have physical manifestations like throwing fire, etc. Deryni look just like normal humans and have all the same weaknesses, but posses an element of magical/mind power. Not all Deryni have the same amount of power. The story of the Deryni takes place over many generations with the Deryni falling into persecution and disfavor through some of the books, then resurfacing with a limited degree of acceptance when the King in the later books (chronilogical, but I think published first) not only accepts Deryni but is found to be part Deryni himself. The prequels tell the legend of Saint Camber and how the Deryni fell into political and social disfavor. I don't want to go into any more detail because I don't want to put any spoilers in here. I would recommend that you read the books in the order published. The character development is great and the plot isn't plodding or hard to get into. It flows well and each book accomplishes a "task", so you are ready for more but don't feel like the book ends right in the middle of a scene like some books in series do. Enjoy!
Hmm.. you are mistaken there about Deverry. It's not about the arthurian cycle. Deryni sounds good but i checked amazon.com and it is available only after 4-5 weeks so i think i will go with the book of words.
Read the Drenai series by David Gemmel... He is a talented writer. He doesn't have the scheming that George R.R Martin or Jordan has. But if you're looking for pure enjoyment and thrill these books are worth the read. There are always Salvatore's Dark elf books, they aren't as good as Gemmels but the are still good. Especially if you are an D&D player.
I'm going to order the first book of the Drenai series as well... Legend... And some other books as well like The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson and The Madness Season by C.S. Friedman.
Oops, I am so sorry! I guess I got confused. I have read Derini too, but I guess something mixed up, after all I read it all couple of yers ago. Thanks for telling me. By the way I like Deryni, you should try it anyway.

Starting this week, gay and lesbian couples can wed in Maryland.
Employees at the St. Mary's County Circuit Court are readying for the historic change, a supervisor said, and at least one church here is opening its doors to same-sex marriages.
"We are absolutely going to be completely ready come Jan. 2," Tracy Cantrell, the supervisor for land records and licenses at the St. Mary's Circuit Court, said last week. Cantrell said she could be performing the ceremonies herself later this week.
But some clerks at the St. Mary's courthouse have said they will not perform wedding ceremonies for gays or lesbians.
Terri Bolling, a state judiciary spokesperson, confirmed Friday that some deputy court clerks in St. Mary's County did not want to perform marriage ceremonies for same-sex couples because of their religious beliefs.
The Examiner reported that St. Mary's Circuit Court Clerk Joanie Williams said those employees would no longer perform any marriages at the courthouse. Williams could not be reached for comment for this article.
Bolling said Friday that there is no guidance in place allowing employees to opt out of assigned duties. That issue would need to be considered by the state's legal and human resources departments, she said.
Regardless, for now, Bolling said, "They have adequate staff to perform the marriages" in the St. Mary's court clerks office.
Cantrell said in Maryland that there is a 48-hour waiting period between when a marriage license is issued and when a couple can actually wed.
St. Mary's, unlike most other counties in Maryland, did not issue any licenses before the mandated Jan. 2 deadline, so the first same-sex wedding in the county would occur at the earliest on Friday, after the waiting period.
Cantrell said she plans to be at work that day, and could be the clerk officiating.
"I really enjoy doing ceremonies," she said.
Marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples in Maryland were approved by voters in last November's election.
Although nearly 56 percent of St. Mary's residents voted against the state measure, statewide the Civil Marriage Protection Act was approved by 52 percent of voters.
Theresia Warder of Chaptico said she is excited that the measure passed in November allowing same-sex weddings. Warder is a member of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays in Southern Maryland. Although the year-old group is not yet officially affiliated with the national PFLAG organization, it does meet monthly with a regular attendance of between eight and 15 people, she said.
Warder said the group talked a lot about the ballot measure and some members actively campaigned for its passage.
When asked about the possibility that some employees in the clerk's office might no longer perform weddings because of their objections to same-sex marriage, Warder said it did not bother her much, as long as the government courthouse has someone who will perform the weddings.
"We just want to make sure the law is being enforced, however that needs to happen," Warder said.
Cantrell said the St. Mary's courthouse will be ready for any weddings booked by gay or lesbian couples.
She said licenses to same-sex couples were not issued in St. Mary's before the new year because the computer program that prints the marriage licenses had to be changed.
"There was a concern of affecting the integrity of the license," she said.
The licenses will no longer have spaces labeled as "bride" or "groom," but now will say "party one" and "party two," Cantrell said. The actual civil ceremony performed by court clerks will change slightly to reflect more gender-neutral wording, she added.
Other than that, Cantrell said, "It's business as usual."
The state law explicitly says religious institutions are not required to perform weddings for gay couples, but some are openly welcoming same-sex marriages.
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Southern Maryland, which holds services in Hollywood, placed ads offering to marry same-sex couples after November's election. Chaplain James Gibbons Walker said he has not had any same-sex couples book a wedding yet, but has heard some interest.
"The denomination has been on record a long time" in support of gay marriage, Walker said. In the early 1970s, the Unitarians passed a resolution condemning discrimination against gay marriage, he said.
Equality Maryland, a gay-rights advocacy group, has posted on its website a list of clergy in the state who will perform same-sex weddings, including some Unitarian, Protestant, Jewish and United Church of Christ congregations.
"Most of the clerks are already providing [marriage] licenses," Carrie Evans, executive director of Equality Maryland, said last week. She said that although the law did not require courthouses to issue licenses in advance, all but St. Mary's County and perhaps two counties on the Eastern Shore did.
Evans said that while she expected there would be some bumps in the road, overall the state is working to implement the new law.
There were some couples "waiting for that strike of midnight," she said, adding that others she talked to are in less of a hurry. "Some prefer a summer wedding," she said.

Perfect for on location
For any on-location photographer, sometimes finding a suitable background for your image is difficult.

They can be set up in seconds and easily leaned against a wall or hung using our collapsible and lightweight background stand.
Ask for a helping hand
Don't be afraid to ask for a helping hand as assistants and even clients can easily help hold these backdrops as they are lightweight and easily transported from location to location.

Hand-painted to perfection
Collapsible backdrops are hand painted to offer a high-end look. For this reason, no two backdrops are ever 100% alike. Colors and pattern used remain very consistent, but will vary slightly. However, nothing beats the look and feel of a hand-painted backdrop and for this simple reason, Westcott refuses to computer print our muslins. We provide the quality our customers demand.

Although this backdrop is single sided, the opposite side will be a lighter version of the front side. For this reason, when buying a one-sided backdrop, ideally you are receiving two! Note, on lighter colored backdrops, the difference between the front and backside are less noticeable.

We couldn't stop ourselves. We've fallen in love with Southern girls and this week we've got another stunner. Jonni Hennessy is an All-American girl from Tennessee. Her body is 100% natural -- perky tits and rose colored nipples that get hard as soon as she sees a cock. I wish this video was scratch n' sniff because you can just imagine her pussy smells like Tennessee whiskey and sugar cookies. We knew she'd be a cutie, but we had no idea she'd be a perfect little cock socket too. We plugged her mouth and she sucked non-stop until she swallowed one of the biggest loads ever seen on Only Teen Blowjobs. Don't choke!

Authorities in Phillips County say a body found earlier this month in the Mississippi River belongs to a 60-year-old barge captain who fell overboard in January.
The Phillips County Sheriff's Office says Vernon Bumgarner of Houma, La., was identified through dental records.
A commercial fisherman and his son found a body in the Mississippi River on March 12 as they were setting out nets. There was no identification on the body.
Bumgarner was tugboat captain for Caillou Island Towing. He fell from a barge into the river near DeSoto County, Miss., on Jan. 17. The Coast Guard used helicopters and boats in its search for Bumgarner but called off their search a day after his disappearance.

I know that the downside of the Cell processor was that it was very unknown architecture. And it was very hard for many developers to really tame it. Which decreased the amount of visually amazing/overall quality of many games, as well as scared off many developers. Aaand, it also made multi-platform games really bad (because no one could be bothered to optimize for PS3, except for rare cases)
But to be perfectly fair, anyone who bought a PS3 to play multiplatform games was anyway doing it wrong. Where the PS3 really shined/shines, is the 100% PS3 exclusives. And they very clearly prove how all the Cell "hype" wasn't just hype, this was/is a very powerful processor.
The latest game (for example) from Naughty Dog which is coming out soon, The Last of Us, totally proves this. Everything from animation, NPC AI, and visuals. It has amazing effects like 100% dynamic shadows (which so far the only game that really does that is Crysis 3, and that's on pc with highest settings. Actually not even Crysis 3 does 100% dynamic. It's more like 90% dynamic. Because I noticed that the red light flares don't cast shadow. Which even the Uncharted games on PS3 do. This says something, right?). And stuff like that requires REALLY powerfull processing.
So I think in the end, all the downsides were outweighed by the upside.
But I'm also very excited for PS4, because I know it's VERY powerful + extremely easy to develop for. So this MIGHT bring us back, or atleast close to the awesome days of PS2 era in best case scenario.
I guess we can finally say goodbye and thanks for a great gen, and say hi to next gen

Definitely, Sony basically had all genres covered, provided to stayed first party or built on PS3 first you had a great time with a great system.
Ontop of this a good majority of third party titles which were ported played fine, you can split hairs on resolution and frame rate all you like but most games had issues here on every system.
Also being a first party PS3 gamer gave you a ton of 3D games too which work lovely on my $1k sony oled 3D headset.Last edited by mickice; 02-28-2013 at 13:31.

I have to say I wasn't really that impressed with Sony this gen, While I liked the games it just didn't get me all that pumped and I was expecting a lot more. Now since the announcement of the PS4, I'm excited, the majority of developers seem excited and that causes me to get pumped. In my opinion the PS4 will do much, much better compared to the PS3.

The Cell was a terrible mistake by Sony:
1. They rushed the GPU production to Nvidia because they wanted to make the Cell the main GPU, they failed and nVidia had no time to optimize the RSX for the PS3... hence the underpowered GPU compared to the Xbox 360's.
2. A console can't rely solely on first party titles. Yes some notable developers did an amazing job with the Cell but on the balance it became mainly a console for Elite programmers, leaving those with less resources behind.
3. The Cell brought a load of bad marketing from the developer community, resulting in 2-3 years of sub-par multiplatform titles. Some people would say only the hardcores care about it but it was precisely the hardcores the biggest source of profit in those years, considering how expensive the console was, which leads me to my next point.
4. The Cell, being a new architecture contributed to make the PS3 a lot more expensive, being blu-ray the biggest reason. (I think they nailed it though with BR)
For every experience though, there are good things to be learned but it was a terrible harsh path for Sony in this generation, going from being the indisputable leader to fight the second place with a newcomer like Microsoft.
Lessons learned with the Cell:
1. PS3 programmers are now much more skilled. If devs were RPG characters, the PS3 made them reach Elite Levels.
2. Sony learned the hard way and now their console is much more developer-customer friendly. Excellent.
3. Sony is also applying the lessons learned with the Playststion 3 (i.e. Customers aren't lemmings following whatever direction they want to take due to brand loyalty) and applied them to other products of them. The best example of this is the fantastic Sony Xperia Z Smartphone... a gadget I'm eager to put my claws on.
All in all, Sony has a big opportunity here, they're making wiser decisions lately and left their arrogance aside to please customers. That's just how things should be done.

This! Plus first parties always get the most help from a console maker, so that's why they usually get the best results.
As for the Cell? Consider me a hater and for good reason. It was such a hot mess that two of it's co-inventors (Sony & Toshiba) have left it behind and IBM is only using it for very niche applications. That speaks volumes. Sony was very smart to ditch it and go x86 with the PS4.
02-28-2013 #9
Tell you why also, because there are a few people that aren't there anymore and also Howard Stringer (jabba the hut) isn't running the company anymore either. That right there is most likely a reason we are seeing Sony doing a smooth run.

Yes, the PS3 absolutely shined with its exclusives.
But to say that PS3 owners shouldn't care about multiplatform games is just wrong.
Uncharted, God of War, etc. all look and play great, obviously. But if Sony went with a powerful, but more familiar, architecture with PS3 rather than spending a buttload of money on Cell+RSX, those games would likely have still be possible AND we would have gotten better quality multiplats on top of it.

I doubt that anything about those games was dependent on Cell.
Games are ideas first. The hard part is making your idea work on the hardware you are given. Different hardware doesn't change the idea, and most of the time easier to work with hardware makes it easier to make your ideas a reality.
Cell had some advantages but most of them were lost in poor design and planning of the system. Sony could have gone the same route as they have with the PS4, using 'off the shelf' parts and focusing on ease of programing and efficiency and achieved the same results with much less cost and trouble.
That is why they went with the 'off the shelf' route with the PS4. Almost everything about it is better than the PS3 specifically because everything about it is made easier to produce and work with.

I don't believe that. One thing to point out is that they are STILL learning about the thing and STILL unlocking more power from it. But is that necessarily a good thing?
Is it really better to release something that developers won't be able to fully realize the potential of for years or something that they can use comfortably from day one, but that could still be just as powerful? I'd opt for the latter.
With the money they dumped into CELL they could have given us top of the line PROVEN technologies and achieved the same, or even better, results.Last edited by Shibby; 02-28-2013 at 16:06.

What that proves is that's a waste of money. The cell was a flat out waste of money because it set certain boundries. When a company has to jump through hoops and a console company keeps on setting boundries so nothing is maxed out, that actually hurts them more than anything. Not only was it overpriced hardware, but you can get better deals elsewhere. IBM sure took Sony for a ride with that unit, wheeeeew.

Like I said earlier, it's the devs that makes these games what they are, still, you wouldn't get gems like these first party titles on any other platform last gen.
It's like this: when what you get is hardware with a lot of locked potential, you strive more to unlock that potenial. It's not a holy grail.
02-28-2013 #16
That's not down to the hardware. That's down to Sony's unwavering support of new IP.
More conventional hardware design would have had a lot of untapped potential as well in a closed system like PS3, and it would have been utilized much sooner.
Just because something is difficult doesn't necessarily make it better.
02-28-2013 #17
i was not a fan of the Cell processor it was holding sony back. and sony said the cell would be in every thing from the ps3 to tvs and that was false lol.
02-28-2013 #18
to their credit they were not afraid to take risks.
they were trying to hit a homerun out of the park, and instead it went foul.
in hindsight I am now a cell hater. I'm sure sony is too with all the money they lost on r and d.
It was a good effort gone bad.

While I agree with these sentiments the one thing you need to keep in mind, in order to create something that really is innovative you really need to do things outside the box from how they have been done. I think they tried to do that with the CELL, but were not successful do to how difficult it was to program.
I applaud them for realizing this isn't the area they need to be focusing on innovating on this generation (or limiting the scope of doing so that it has the feel of a standard architecture with some enhancements.)
That said, they should not stagnate and say, this is the way things are done so we must do them that way. That's how you grow complacent, you lose your edge, and you eventually fail. Instead keep looking for that next big thing, just keep in mind that it needs to be customer friendly (that includes developers and gamers in the case of gaming consoles.)
02-28-2013 #21
From a gamers point of view we had great games. To all those involved on the business side it was a nightmare.
I agree with bill gates when he said "evolution not revolution" about the cell.
Because of this switch back we wont have backward compatibility and our psn purchases are gone. I agree with it though.

It took talented developers to get about half the untapped power of the cell out of it, I doubt any one will ever get the full teraflops power of the Cell cause it was terribly inefficient for game programming.
Its a set adf forget data processor, and was entirly the wrong processor for a games console.
Its testament to Naughty dog and GG that they managed to do what they did with it. And lest not forget Insomniac, in the first years of the console, they pumped out a title a year, and I think they were the ones to really first tame the beast.
No one ever denied that the cell was powerful, it just wasn't the right tool for the job...ever.Last edited by mynd; 02-28-2013 at 20:04.

I felt disapointed in the hate towards cell from developers. They want easy food chain to programme not saying lazy or poor but just felt roots gone. First party showed its capabilities if you put time effort into it.
Was it mistake yes and No. Yes because without those multiplats using it correctly it opened window for microsoft to get edge by making sure to get games delayed or even make sure they programmed xbox first despite being told other way round was better.
No as it produced some cracking games and folding home uses for science. It was powerful that businesses started piggyback them make supercomputers.
Cell was ahead of its time feel but demands for speed in development sadly means its bang bang bang bang approach to games. Sadly reason was money. Developers cant spend months making beautiful game that for many both games was equal that was disapointing for cell it was capable so much more it was offered.
Am disapointed cell been left yes in away time will tell if going to mainstream pc procesor right move possible is but is to be fair. Cell really never deserved the hate it got.

Anticipating Gov. Jerry Brown's May budget revision, expected to be announced May 13, Dr. Ron Taylor, president of Feather River College, presented a declaration of fiscal crisis for the district board of trustees' approval at its regular meeting Thursday, April 21.
The declaration acknowledges the $25 billion gap in the state's 2011-12 budget, its failure to balance the budget and the $400 million reduction in community college general fund allocations approved last month.
In addition, the declaration recognizes further and more significant reductions in the district's allocation.
In approving the declaration, trustees empowered Taylor "to take appropriate actions to address the crisis." The declaration will remain in effect until general fund revenues improve beyond the current year's levels, possibly in 2014-15.
Explaining the situation to the trustees, Taylor said the declaration would allow the Strategic Planning Committee to develop ways to maximize revenues and preserve course offerings so students can complete their degree programs.
Staff members have been developing a draft document that will guide reductions without identifying specific cuts. Taylor also said collective bargaining with the faculty and classified staff unions is continuing.
While the declaration identifies the known $400 million in cuts to community colleges, Taylor anticipated that amount could increase to as much as $800 million.
For the college district, Taylor is planning for cuts to the general fund of at least $1.667 million, which reflects the $800 million estimate.
Together with planned revenue deferrals of approximately $1.263 million through the end of the year, the college's cash flow situation is precarious. Jim Scoubes, director of Business Services, told trustees that he is working with the Chancellor's Office to obtain the release of some funds about a month earlier than expected.
Trustees also passed Resolution 10/11-09, giving approval to participate in the 2011-12 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Note (TRAN) Program, basically an advance against anticipated property tax revenues. Scoubes must submit a cash flow analysis before the amount of the TRAN can be determined.
Trustees also approved a memorandum of understanding with Feather River College Foundation Inc. for a loan modification on the May 27, 2010, loan agreement and related operations agreement for repairs to the residence halls.
The original loan amount has been reduced to $300,000. Terms have changed to interest-only payments beginning with the August 2011 payment and continuing for five years. Thereafter, the foundation will make payments of principal and interest over the next 15 years to pay the entire loan amount.
New dean
Earlier in the meeting, the board approved appointment of Dr. Derek Lerch as interim dean of instruction (chief instructional officer) effective July 1.
The next regular meeting of the board has been changed to May 10 to accommodate state deadlines, but time and place, 3 p.m. in Science 104, remains the sam
