The price is higher than Starbucks , the coffee taste is so bad , I trashed them away , can't even drink. If it has zero , I want to rate them zero.
They know how to make my soy mocha to perfection every time. The only disappointment is that they are so good at what they do, there is always a line to place your order and receive it.
Guess it's better than an empty place, as those scare me off.
I knew Alfred Peet in passing because I knew one of his good Belgian buddies. I liked him personally in spite of his delightful humanity. His shop and coffee chain ois a different matter: I Love Peet's Coffee wherever I find it: Portand, Seattle, San Jose, Chicago, and so many other places. It is the continuing equivalent of Seattle's old...
Peet's coffee is hot, rich, and caffeine-filled. One cup of Major Dickerson's Blend or Sumatran and a piece of pumpkin bread for breakfast and you are good to go for the rest of the morning.
If you like peets coffee then you have to check this place out. It is the original peets that started it all out. It has a seperate room detailing all the history of peets.
This coffee experience is what others strive to achieve. I think Starbucks owns them now. Original to Berkeley, CA. Do you like your coffee full-bodied?
Had lunch at Peet's while attending a conference at the Claremont hotel. The staff were friendly and the food was great. I order a salad and my companions order sandwiches. The salad was good but next time, I will order a sandwich, because it comes with a sizeable salad for about the same price as the salad only. The cafe...
my beef with peets is that their brewed coffee is much too strong and their lattes can be bitter. peets has almost as many locations as starbucks. peets has a wide selection and, wherever you are, the staff is unfailingly polite. i do buy peets beans, which i prefer lots more than starbucks,' which has better pastries.
Review collected in partnership with La Quinta
Bay Area folks swear by Peet's and can hardly drink anything else. Brace yourself, if you are used to the pale, weak version of java. If you get hooked, then everything else will taste like airplane coffee.

The present study is aimed to evaluate the protective effect of ferulic acid (FA) on fluoride-induced oxidative hepatotoxicity in male Wistar rats. Fluoride (25 mg/L) was given orally to induce hepatotoxicity for 12 weeks. Hepatic damage were assessed using status of pathophysiological markers like serum marker enzymes like aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, bilirubin, lipid profile, total protein content levels, and histopathological studies. Treatment with FA significantly reduced the degree of histological abberations and rescued lipid peroxidation, as observed from reduced levels of lipid hydroperoxides, nitric oxide, restored levels of enzymic and non-enzymic antioxidants, and total protein content, with a concomitant decline in the levels of marker enzymes and lipid profile in fluoride-induced rats. These results suggest that ferulic acid has the ability to protect fluoride-induced hepatic damage.

Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936): Sinfonia Drammatica
Ottorino Respighi was born in Bologna in 1879 and studied the violin and
viola at the Liceo Musicale from 1891 with Federico Sarti. At the same time he
took lessons in composition, at first from the musicologist Luigi Torchi, who
had returned to Bologna from the Liceo Rossiui in Pesaro in the same year, and
later from the composer Giuseppe Martucci, who was director of the Liceo until
1902. In 1899 he completed his studies and the following year went to St
Petersburg as principal viola-player at the Imperial Opera. In Russia, where he
spent the seasons of 1901-02 and 1902-03, he took lessons from Rimsky- Korsakov
in composition and orchestration.
During the first decade of the present century Respighi won a reputation as a
performer, while pursuing his growing interest in earlier music and in
composition. In Berlin during 1908 and 1909 he attended lectures by Max Bruch,
to relatively little effect. The influence of Rimsky-Korsakov, however, was to
remain with him and to guide his bold use of orchestral colour. These years
brought a series of compositions. In 1902 his Piano Concerto in A minor was
performed in Bologna and his Notturno of 1905 was played in New York under
Rodolfo Ferrari. The latter year saw the first production of his opera Rè
Enzo in Bologna, a work followed five years later by Semirama, these
operas winning him a reputation that led, in 1913, to his appointment as teacher
of composition at the Liceo di Santa Cecilia in Rome.
In 1919 Respighi married a singer, Elsa Olivieri-Sangiacomo, and in 1924
became director of Santa Cecilia, resigning two years later to devote himself to
composition, although he continued to teach and to perform in concerts as a
conductor and as an accompanist to his wife. He died in 1936 at the house he had
named after one of his most famous works, Pini di Roma.
Respighi's international reputation, which still exceeds that of any other
Italian composer of his generation, depends very largely on the symphonic poems
that offer evocative and pictorial representations of Rome. Fontane di Roma,
four vivid pictures of the fountains of the city, was completed in 1916. Pini di
Roma, an evocation of Roman scenes associated with the pines of the city,
followed in 1924, and this was to be succeeded by the Feste romane in 1929, a
work coloured by a certain contemporary political optimism. In 1918 he provided
the Russian ballet impresario Dyagilev with a score derived from Rossini, La
boutique fantasque, a work that has continued in popular ballet repertoire
since its first performance in London in 1919. A later ballet, Belkis, Regina
di Saba, was written in 1931, and performed at La Scala, Milan, in the
following year. There were, too, other operas which have largely failed 10
capture the public imagination, although offering music of considerable
Another aspect of Respighi's work was his enthusiasm for earlier music.
Gregorian chant was to suggest a melodic source for compositions such as the Concerto
gregoriano, for violin, and the Concerto in modo misolidio, for
piano, as well as the orchestral Vetrate di chiesa of 1927, symphonic
impressions of the windows of four churches. He arranged various sets of lute
dances for orchestra, and assembled a collection of orchestral birds for the
sequence Gli uccelli, based on bird-pieces by keyboard composers of the
eighteenth century. A more thorough example of this tendency to look to the past
was seen in his last opera, Lucrezia, performed at La Scala the year
after his death.
Respighi's Sinfonia Drammatica was completed in 1914. It is a
substantial work that has been regarded by some as a further example of
Respighi's early eclecticism. The dramatic mood is established at once as the
orchestra launches into music that may at times remind us of Mahler,
particularly in elements of orchestration and lyrical melancholy. Richard
Strauss was, of course, a strong influence in this earlier period of the
composer's life, if not the most immediately apparent here, except, perhaps, in
the scale of the symphony and its occasional extravagance of orchestral effect. The second movement might suggest the
influence of Debussy, in mood and idiom, with an interlude of solemn
medieva1ism, leading to dramatic intensity, which is then replaced by are turn
to the initia1 tranquillity, disturbed briefly once again before fina1 serenity
is restored. The fina1 Allegro impetuoso unleashes powerful forces that offer a
bewildering variety of mood and incident, making full use of orchestra1 colour
that does everything to justify the title of the work.
Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra
The Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra was founded in 1949 as the first state
symphony orchestra in Slovakia. The orchestra's style was developed by such
major conductors as Vaclav Talich, Ludovit Rajter, Ladislav Slovak, Libor Pesek,
Vladimir Verbitsky, Bystrik Relucha and Aldo Ceccato who served as principal
conductors, and many other guest conductors, including Zdenek Kosler, Janos
Ferencsik, Carlo Zecchi, Dmitri Kitayenko, Claudio Abbado, James Conlon, Maris
Jansons, Kurt Masur, Sergiu Celibidache, Vladimir Fedoseyev, Leonard Slatkin,
James Judd and Jean-Claude Casadesus. Since 1991 its principal conductor has
been Ondrej Lenard, who in 1995 was appointed musical director of the orchestra.
The orchestra has toured Europe, USA and Japan several times, participating in
major international festivals, and has made a great number of recordings for a
variety of labels.
Daniel Nazareth
Daniel Nazareth was born in Bombay and took a degree in Commerce and
Economics at Bombay University in 1968. He later studied at the Royal Academy of
Music in London, where he was awarded the Sir Adrian Boult Cup, following this
with a period of study at the Vienna Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende
Kunst, from which he graduated with distinction in 1975. He served as Conducting
Assistant to the Vienna Musikverein in the 1975-76 season.
In 1977 Daniel Nazareth made his debut as a conductor of opera with Mozart's Cosi
fan tutte at the Spoleto Festival, and in 1978 he conducted Le nozze di
Figaro, Il barbiere di Siviglia and La traviara for the
Canadian Opera Company in Toronto. In March 1982 he conducted a new production
of Britten's The Rape of Lucretia for the Arena Theatre in Verona. In
1976 Daniel Nazareth was awarded the Leonard Bernstein Conducting Fellowship and
the Koussevitsky Music Foundation Conductor's Award at Tanglewood, and in 1978
he won the first International Ernest Ansermet Conducting Competition in Geneva.

|Me as a baby with Gt-grandma Elmina
Labels: genealogy, hardship, women in history
My Father was passionate about our family history. I have all his research and there are so many fascinating characters.
Louisa Martin, lost both her parents when she was nine and her deaf dumb brother was five. She married a deaf dumb man and at the age of twenty-five was buried with her newly born son.
Needless to say I have started writing her story although there were few happy endings for many of our ancestors.
How sad, Michelle! Yes, so much sadness and they were all so stoical about it! Or at least it seems that way to me. Thank you for your comment!
I admire all those pioneer women who homesteaded... and I know I'd would have lasted maybe 2 hours
Oh yes, they were incredibly brave and hardy! I doubt I would have lasted long either ... :-)
I admire my Great-aunt Bet who refused Arthur Wadham's proposal because she wanted to be a Queen Alexandra Nursing sister. She fulfilled her ambition and Arthur married someone else.
When she retired at 60, Arthur, now a widower, asked her again to marry him and she said, 'Yes, Arthur, I will.' They had a honeymoon climbing in the Alps and twenty happy years together.
I met her only once, I was 6 and she was 98. It felt a bit like meeting Queen Victoria!
Goodness me, Elizabeth! What a couple!
And Christina - I am in total awe of your forebears
What a lovely story, Elizabeth, very moving! So pleased they had twenty happy years together at last!
Jan - thank you :-)

Top Teachers: Stephanie Tucker
Crestview E.S., preschool
Years spent working in the mortgage industry left Stephanie Tucker with a vacant feeling. During a drive past a Henrico school one day, she saw a sign inviting applications for an instructional assistant position. She interviewed and soon had a job at Crestview Elementary working in one of the school's Head Start preschool classes (now known as Federal Programs Preschool).
"It was like a light bulb went on," Tucker said.
Six years later, she realizes every day that she made the right decision.
"As a kid, I always wanted to be a teacher. When I came back to that, I just knew this is where I needed to be."
From her perch on the front line of preschool education, Tucker has seen the difference it can make for students.
"Preschool is such a critical age," Tucker said. "You can turn on or turn off a child's love of learning. If you've got a nurturing, safe environment, then you're giving them one of the tools that they need to be successful.
"It's really wonderful that the public is really embracing preschool as more than daycare."
Though the program at Crestview, and those at other Henrico elementaries, pull students from different attendance zones, some of Tucker's students have continued at Crestview. Several of her first students are now fifth-graders at the school whose continued development she has enjoyed watching.
"Mrs. Tucker rolls up her sleeves and brings joy and determination to the classroom," one nominator wrote. "Her students are higher needs [students] but she does not see them as such. Her zest for engaging them is limitless."
For Tucker, it's a simple concept.
"Kids are kids, and their basic needs are that they want to be safe and happy, and they want to learn," she said. "If you can provide that, then they're successful."
For the youngsters in her class, there is amazement in some of life's simplest lessons, such as watching caterpillar larvae turn into butterflies or taking a nature walk.
"So many kids, depending on their background, that's not happened in their life," she said. "That's a great experience. One of the neatest things about it is that kids that age are just 'eyes wide open,' unbiased about everything around them. Everything is exciting. I get so much from them by watching all those 'ah-ha' moments.
"One thing I think is important is that children absolutely deserve respect. They need to feel that they're valued. Every child deserves that. Most times when you give a child respect, then you get that back from them."

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

Myself Trying To Attempt Suicide........but Didn't Go Through With It!Hi I am new here to EP! I here to tell you I was once a suicide victim you should say! That is how I'm going to put it don't know what else to say but anyway! Please take what I'm about to say to heart and really think it over. They are amazing and helpful words! I was in a couple of rough patches about year ago today! They were horrifying I didn't think they were possible to happen to me! Im sonics and caring! They drove me to want to end my life! My mom told me to promise her I wouldn't because I told her what was going on! She offered to help me find a physiologist! I had an appointment t with one within that week!it was amazing that I actually wanted help! I felt like a hero for we ting that! I also wanted help because I knew how much I would be missed! My family,friends,teachers/ coaches would grieve in hatred over me not sorrow or happiness! They love me I can tell that! It's hard to d that when u find that! Please consider getting help if u feel like I was feeling! If you ever need to talk I am here for everyone! Like I know hey are here for me!
As a pastor most people who attempt to commit suicide and who do follow through are wanting help. They do not want to die. Some die because they slip through the cracks. They do not get the help needed.

I am glad that you saw this and that your mom was supportive, you friends and teachers that care. Never take that for granted. As a EP Volunteer I want to thank you for adding me as a friend. Please feel free to message me if you need to talk. I am here to help in any way that I can.
Do you take any medicines with you?
I am glad you took a long hard look at what your suicide would mean for others, as well as you, and then sought help. Too many people don't do that. I have written on EP about the suicides of three people, none of whom I knew well; yet whose deaths have cast a shadow. Those who knew and loved them well must have been devastated and never entirely free from the effects of what happened.

The most powerful dragsters are, in essence, bombs: four-wheeled canisters packed with highly combustible liquid, to be detonated in an explosion hopefully sending said canister careening at great speed along a quarter-mile strip of tarmac.
The thing with bombs, as this fine video aptly proves, is that sometimes they go off at the wrong time. Or in the wrong direction.
American's National Hot Rod Association (that's the NHRA, not to be confused with the NRA, though both seem to share a fascination with blowing stuff up) has chopped together this excellent slow-motion video of various drag-strip-bound beasts doing their high-horsepower thing... with varying degrees of success.
It's well worth a couple of minutes of your slow-motion time, because, let's be honest, it's summer and you weren't doing anything more productive.
There are flames. There is sideways. There's a small orange box being run over. There's an angry man wearing ear defenders. Truly, what more could you want?
NOTE: no drivers or spectators were injured in the making of this video.

Plunging TV prices challenge makers
Competition prompts Sony's Baja decision
Sony's decision this week to sell its flat panel television factory in Tijuana to a Taiwan-based manufacturing conglomerate shows how TV makers are looking for new ways to compete as prices continue to plunge.
"I think from Sony's perspective, it has been a challenge in the U.S. market because it's so competitive," said Paul Semenza, a senior vice president with Display Research, which follows the industry. "In certain regions like Japan, consumers really want a certain high level of quality and are willing to pay for it. In the U.S., it's a much more price-sensitive market."
Stiff competition for liquid crystal display TVs, the flat-panel kind produced at the Sony's Tijuana plant, has caused prices in North America to drop about 30 percent over the past year, said Stephen Baker, vice president of industry analysis at NPD Group in New York.
"As prices go down, you have to be competitive," he said. "A lesson to be learned from the computer business is there is an awful lot of costs in manufacturing that might be better left to somebody with more leverage when every penny counts."
On Monday, Sony said it will sell a 90 percent stake in its sprawling TV factory in Tijuana to Hon Hai Precision Industry Corp. Ltd., a leading outsource manufacturer of everything from iPods to Playstation 3 game consoles.
The Tijuana factory produces the bulk of Sony's LCD televisions sold in the Americas. Hon Hai will continue to make the televisions for Sony at the site. According to Sony, Hon Hai will retain all 3,300 employees.
As a huge electronics contract manufacturer, Hon Hai can drive a hard bargain with suppliers because it purchases in big volumes. In addition, it makes some of the components used in LCD televisions itself, according to analysts, which could further lower the cost of the LCDs it makes for Sony.
According to industry research firm iSuppli, Sony ranked third in the U.S. for unit shipments of LCD TVs in the second quarter with a 12 percent market share. It trailed Vizio, with 22 percent, and Samsung, at 21 percent.
Opened in 1985, Sony's Baja plant helped provide symbolic legitimacy to Tijuana's maquiladora industry. Initially, it made TV cabinets. But over the years it grew into an important cog in Sony's TV manufacturing operations.
The transaction with Hon Hai, which is also known as Foxconn, is expected to be completed within a few months. The financial terms were not disclosed, but Sony said it is not expected to have a material impact on the company this fiscal year.
Sony's move to sell the plant to Hon Hai/Foxconn came as a surprise to some in Tijuana's maquiladora industry.
In June, Baja California government officials said Sony was adding 1,500 positions at the factory as it moved production there from two TV plants it was closing — one in Mexicali and the other in Pittsburgh.
Moreover, Hon Hai/Foxconn has been looking for land in Tijuana, presumably to build its own facilities, said Tony Ramirez, a partner in San Diego-based Made In Mexico and a longtime board member of the Tijuana Maquiladora Association.

Timberland composite toe boots give lightweight protection for the front of the foot. Safety toes made from composite materials are only a third of the weight of a comparable steel toe, and they are slower to conduct heat and cold, as well as offering better insulation. Composite toe boots are ideal for jobs that don't require the full degree of protection provided by a steel toe, or for individuals with hobbies that require protective boots. Timberland also makes hiking boots and shoes with protective toes to prevent mishaps on the trail.

I've searched high and low but can't for the life of me find any plugin that does what I want. Perhaps I'm simply searching for the wrong keywords.
Basically, I want to show posts in the exact same way that Worpdress does via for example http://www.site.com/category/articles but on a "custom page". I'm trying to create a "main menu" item called "Articles" that will list posts in that category just like WP (with styling etc, not just a plain list, I found plenty of plugins for that). As I can't change the "permalink" to be /category/articles I need to get around it somehow.
Can someone point me in the right direction? It feels like it should be so simple.
Thanks in advance,

from Eminem – Infinite Lyrics on Genius
He's playing off his infatuation with "murder," which is a metaphor for killing tracks. He was sent to hell for "murdering instruments". Ever since, he's been trying to abstain, but he gets tense when he sees others making hits — it makes him want to get back to "murdering tracks."

Eakins, in regards to the rip off on the
name, let's look at the history.
Royal Manufacturing
circa 1914
This article about
Royal Purple indicates 1986
, mmm who ripped who off - LOL!
Royal Manufacturing is by no means a new little start-up company, rather a proud American company with more history that many others with a 10 million gallon capacity plant. Keep in mind they have been around for a long time but as a wholesaler and industrial supplier of railway, construction, marine, mining and automotive oil products. They make products for other labels, so this is a concession to be selling as we are in small volume. Since you asked here is some information about the companies history; published here:
the full article is on the clickable link below named "Full Throttle at Royal Manufacturing".
10W-40 Should be coming soon, we have requested access to it.
The Beginning of Royal Manufacturing's Legacy
A Look Back
(Written by Lisa Tocci,
Full Throttle at Royal Manufacturing
, featured in Lubes n' Greases Magazine, June 2009.)
The Mallory family's involvement with Royal Manufacturing began in the Depression years. "In the late 1930s, my mother Lee started working for Royal Manufacturing, which at the time was a small specialty grease company serving the oil fields," related Bill Mallory. "They needed day laborers, so she went home at lunch and brought Dad back to work. Later, the company's owners went to serve during World War II, and the banks took over the company. Soon, my dad Dick Mallory was running it, and then he bought it from the banks." Like his son, the senior Mallory had a passion for expansion, and in the 1950s he bought the remnants of Tulsa Refined Oil Co. (Troco), a lubricants compounder in business since 1914, and merged its operations into Royal's.
"Every year, we saw growth," Mallory Jr. went on, "and in 1976 we acquired Wright Oil down in San Antonio. Wright supplied the same "outside" businesses that were Royal's stronghold — off-highway, heavy equipment and farming. Bill Mallory Jr., was able to build its volume by diversifying into new markets, such as railroad engine oil.
In 1983 fire destroyed the Troco plant in Tulsa. Tulsa rebuilt and rebounded, and has seen two expansions since; Wright Oil also has grown, moving into a new plant in 2007 with 10 million gallons of annual capacity. Another diversification came in 1998, when Royal Manufacturing began selling base oil into Mexico and the Caribbean. By 2000, business had increased enough to build tanks in Brownsville. Royal has added another 30,000-barrel tank last year. Subsidiary RTW Terminal in Brownsville, Texas, now has 36 tanks with 200,000 barrels of space, and truck, railcar and barge-loading capabilities.
June of 2009 welcomed the opening of a new lubricating grease plant at Royal Manufacturing's subsidiary north of San Antonio. In addition to making mainstream products like lithium complex greases, Wright Oil Co. will produce specialties such as polyurea, calcium sulfonate and aluminum complex greases, and biobased, synthetic and food grade varieties.

It was high noon, and two confident food challengers were about to meet their doom in Catawba.
The lunch crowd at Cindy's Starlite Café was flooding in, and all eyes were on the kitchen.
"I'm hungry," The O-N-E's Editor Matthew Tessnear said. "I'm feeling pretty hungry…honestly."
Tessnear was poised and ready, but he would soon learn he would have to get a whole lot hungrier.
For he, along with The O-N-E Publisher Michael Willard, were about to test what has to be the most scrumptious, yet gruesome challenge in the foothills.
Apple Inc. filed for more building permits last week that confirm the company is looking to add significant green technology to its data center in Maiden.
Apple released new information on its website in February that said it plans to power its data center completely from renewable energy. In a brief statement on its website, Apple announced that it plans to power the Maiden data center with the nation's largest end-user-owned solar array and non-utility fuel cell installation.
Fire officials say accelerants were used in a blaze that destroyed a Sherrills Ford restaurant more than nine months ago.
The Pier 150 seafood restaurant was completely destroyed June 18, 2011, after a large fire gutted the building.
It took five departments and about 85 firefighters to put out the blaze that was first reported around midnight.

At the time, fire officials were unsure if the blaze, which occurred only a half-mile from the nearest fire station, was caused by arson or some other cause.

Bruno Meier was born in Switzerland and studied the flute with André Jaunet in Zurich, Marcel Moyse at Brattleboro (USA) and Peter-Lukas Graf at the Academy of Music in Basel, where he was awarded a concert diploma with distinction. He went on to work as a teacher and as principal flautist with a number of well-known chamber orchestras. His concert tours have taken him to Switzerland, Germany, England, the Czech Republic, Russia (1982 and 1990) and Belarus (1996/7, 1999, 2001 and 2003 ), where he has held master-classes at the Minsk Academy of Music. In the wake of numerous gramophone and radio recordings he has worked increasingly in the studio. In addition to his wide-ranging work as a practising musician, he has also been increasingly active in recent years as a musicologist, researching hitherto unknown works for the flute that he has then gone on to record. This aspect of his work has resulted in worldpremière recordings of flute concertos by Josef Mysliveček, Johann Baptist Vanhal, Franz Krommer, Antonio Rosetti, Joseph Reicha, Friedrich Witt, Peter von Winter and Franz Lachner. Together with the Stamitz Quartet, he has recorded the nine

What kit trailer would best fit a 1949 FORD F8 SEMI

You could start with the Lindberg/IMC/Testor's Tank, Box or Flat bed
and build one of them Short. That is an option on all 3.
Max trailer length then was 30-32 feet. and many box vans had a rounded front,
so all kits are too modern. You will have to modify one to correct specs.
I am not sure where to go to find plans for trailers of that era
Posted 04 May 2013 - 05:06 PM
A truck built in 1949 could easily still have been hauling cargo for a local independant operator in the early 70s which is about the period most of the trailer kits represent. I'm not positive but I think the Lindberg flatbed, tanker and van trailers are a bit older style than the AMT and Ertl trailers.
If you want it to accurately represent a semi in the 1950s you are going to have to do some scratchbuilding.

Yes AMT made a 5 car hauler that resembles something from the late 40s to 60s. unfortunately it's been out of production for some time so prices are high.

Sins of a Solar Spymaster #67 - The Incarna Postmortem
The EVE playerbase is beginning to show signs of outrage fatigue, like a long-suffering American leftist. The latest major controversy since the Incarna release began with a blog and a graph. The good news is that this graph did not spark riots like the previous Incarna mess; the bad news is that the graph indicated that thereÂs fewer players around to riot in the first place. Since I had no small part in provoking the chaos and the ensuing media frenzy, IÂm going to gloss over What Happened rather than rehashing it in detail.
The summary version is that JesterÂs PCU chart unleashed (another) howl of anger about the delays and failures of the Incarna expansion; the CSM began harassing CCP in the gaming press over the neglect of ÂFlying in Space (what everyone besides CCP calls ÂEve OnlineÂ), and now the CSM and CCP are in heavily NDA-bound weekly meetings to discuss and try to resolve the situation. Fun stuff.
Meanwhile, my ÂDefense of Incarna column, which I wrote before the release of the expansion - appears well-intentioned but hopelessly pollyannaish, not unlike trying to explain to a Fat Acceptance cultist that they should stop scarfing down Big Macs.
The questions, then: why, beyond the hyperbole, did Incarna faceplant so badly - and should I commence to eating crow for my quixotic defense of it?
Having watched the disasters unfolding since IncarnaÂs release in June, it seems that just about everything that could go wrong for CCP has gone wrong - MurphyÂs Law on an internet-galactic scale. One canÂt help but feel sympathy for the employees who have worked through all of this mess. Yet most of the failures and errors can be traced to poor decisions made by human beings rather than acts of god or mere bad luck.
The One-Avatar Wall
The single biggest reason why Incarna has been a mess is disappointingly banal and mundane. Flat out, CCP bit off more than they could chew, code-wise. If Incarna had been finished and released remotely on schedule without making graphics cards shudder and cry, we would not be having this conversation and the playerbase would be looking forward to the Winter release and speculating about that. As I write this, it has been three months since Incarna launched; we were supposed to have four racial CaptainÂs Quarters and Establishments with some kind of contraband gameplay by this point. Instead, weÂre still stuck with the launch date Minmatar CQ and a seemingly endless progression of band-aid patches.
Much of the criticism of Incarna vanishes if there had been a successful deployment. The NeX Store and its virtual goods would have a public arena to conspicuously consume in, removing the common refrain of questions like - ÂWhy should I buy expensive boots, if only I can see them? The cries of ÂGive us things to do, not things to wear also goes away, as CCP would be theoretically hard at work on spaceship content rather than still wheel-spinning on Space Barbies.
This doesnÂt excuse CCPÂs management, of course; some kind of feasibility testing should have taken place before committing the company to an apparently near-impossible task. We can only guess at the nature of the technical hurdles impeding the release of Incarna, but the consensus seems to be that CCP hasnÂt figured out how to get more than one avatar in a room without making graphics cards do their best Chernobyl impression. Incarna may have gone much better if CCP had just licensed a proven 3D engine and built within it, rather than trying to reinvent the wheel.
Ugliest Foot Forward
In a world where all of the Captain's Quarters released on schedule, CCPÂs choice to lead out with the Minmatar CQ wouldnÂt have been significant. Yet we do not live in that world; we live in a world where the playerbase has been forced to stare at a rusted, dingy hovel for three months - one explicitly designed to feel claustrophobic and run-down, at that. While Minmatar players may Âtrust in the rustÂ, most of the playerbase has chosen races with a more traditional science fiction aesthetic.
I suspect that we wouldnÂt have had nearly the level of rage over Incarna if the Caldari CQ was the first to be released, as it exudes a kind of hypertechnological cool that the Minmatar CQ utterly lacks. Even the austere Amarr CQ avoids the feeling that the player is trapped in a decaying ghetto. Theoretically, IncarnaÂs primary benefit is an improvement to the New Player Experience, offering more immersion and sensible tutorials, but what of the aspiring Caldari or Gallente pilots who signed up for a grand space adventure, only to be dumped in a dingy pod hotel? Not the most inviting of welcomes to New Eden.
Ignoble Exchange
After the Monocle Riots, the details of what went wrong with the Noble Exchange are well known. The prices are too high, thereÂs no place to show off oneÂs Âvirtual goods - again, a critique that would go away had the deployment been successful - and there werenÂt enough lower-end goods in the first place. The most damning thing about the NeX debacle is the fact that the pricing strategy was selected at the last moment before release, rather than part of a coherent, considered plan.
Tin Ears and Groupthink
When a senior official in CCP expresses genuine surprise that players care about ship-spinning, something is desperately wrong. The decision to remove the old hangar view appeared to be part of a plan to force the playerbase to adapt to Incarna; the option to disable Incarna at all was added only through gritted teeth in the face of graphical load. Perhaps if the people making these calls were more in touch with the desires of the players, the bitterness these decisions caused could have been avoided.
CCPÂs infamous tin ear for communications caused a host of issues over the course of the Incarna release, from blogs about $1000 designer jeans to attempts to sanitize the minutes of the CSMÂs Emergency Summit - now apparently being relabeled as a Âspecial summit, riots nonwithstanding.
This communications disconnect is a reflection of too much corporate kool-aid. After chanting about Excellence, Delivering and Innovation, some within CCP have lost touch with their core focus - making a game about spaceships for people who love spaceships. The deviation of managementÂs groupthink from reality reached a point where line employees would leak copies of HilmarÂs internal emails to the press as a cry for help - something rarely seen in the gaming industry.
Defending ÂDefending IncarnaÂ
Yet despite the riots, the leaks, the crippling technical hurdles, and our characters being trapped in a rusted hovel for three months, I stand behind everything I said in Defending Incarna.
My arguments in favor of Incarna didnÂt assume CCPÂs utter faceplanting in communication and implementation. While some bitter veterans insist that we should expect CCP to only perform at their worst, since 2003 we have seen some truly outstanding expansions and ideas from the company - though itÂs been years since the last truly great expansion, Apocrypha.
Though among shallow minds kneejerk pessimism is often mistaken for wisdom, it is foolish to consider an upcoming expansion with the assumption that everything CCP plans will fall afoul of the worst-case scenarios. When I considered Incarna, I made some fairly reasonable assumptions - Four CQs, Establishments, and a functional vanity microtransactions shop. Not even the most cynical bittervet predicted the $70 Monocle. The scope of the disasters of Incarna were the gaming equivalent of a black swan.
My arguments in favor of the expansion remain sound. The core purpose of Incarna is to provide an immersive and superior New Player Experience, and if it ever gets implemented properly it should succeed. The development of the Carbon engine remains a business reality, though in hindsight licensing a tested 3D engine seems like a much wiser course. EVE still desperately needs immersion if it is to attract female players or ascend beyond the niche willing to suffer through its vertical learning curve. And finally, the Noble Exchange might feature much-loathed microtransactions, but not only is the industry headed in that direction regardless of our riots, the NeX is a far safer concept for EVE than gold ammo. Â
Had Incarna been produced in an era of more competence and less groupthink, we would be seeing more newbies, perhaps entranced by the hypertech stylings of their Caldari quarters. We would also be sailing past Incarna and moving into a spaceship-focused release cycle. The fact is that Incarna was a good idea, even if the execution was utterly botched.
Pulling Out of the Dive
If thereÂs one thing that all of the Incarna chaos has taught us, it is that CCP listens to only two masters: their subscription numbers and the media. Under pressure from both, the company appears to be actively attempting to repair their image and recover from the recent debacles. This is a good sign and it should be encouraged.
With the re-release of the new forum software, there has been an obvious push by CCP employees to communicate more with the playerbase. The front page of ÂEve General Discussion has CCP replies to almost every thread, in stark contrast to past behavior. Meanwhile, Torfi has released a dev blog announcing the return of ship spinning and the old hangar functionalities, repairing one of the greatest offenses of the Icarna rollout.
In the past, CCP has been vehement that Incarna would not be optional; the fact that Torfi has announced a checkbox to allow pilots to never leave their ships is an extremely significant (and welcomed) about-face. There are other signs of sanity returning to CCP; though I canÂt disclose much of anything about the CSMÂs recent meetings with CCP, IÂm once again bullish on the future of the game. If CCP can disentangle itself from the Incarna mire and produce some actual spaceship-focused expansions, New Eden might begin to recover from its Incarna-induced stagnation.

Rep Power:
I hadn't heard. Thanks (gulp) for passing along the sad news.
Anyone who'd like to read a short obituary can
find one here
Like so many other Pacific Seacraft owners, we had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with WIB Crealock on several occasions in Annapolis. Invariably one had the sense of being in the presence of a rare gem of a man -- that unusual combination of natural brilliance, acquired experience, self-deprecating wit, modesty, and warm charm.
"Bill" had a friendly, easy way about him. He'd stand in front of the assembled crowd, responding to the same questions that he'd heard year after year from would-be blue-water sailors (e.g. "What are the benefits of the skeg-hung rudder?" or "Why not a full-keel?"), as if it was the best question he'd ever heard and the first time he'd heard it. Always a polite, thoughtful reply.
Certainly his small boat designs pale in significance when compared to his larger projects (see, e.g.
Irving Johnson
) --- Bill was one of the rare few true "Naval Architects" designing production sailboats. But his goal (at least with his Pacific Seacraft series of boats) was not to produce the fastest hull form, rather instead to create a wholesome sailing boat, in a sturdy, comfortable package equally capable of working the coast or transiting an ocean. Plenty of builders today claim to produce "ocean rated" boats, but very few offer designs in the mid-low-30 foot range, much less a 24 footer, with those capabilities.
After a decade of sailing his designs (first a Dana 24, now a Crealock 31) I can attest that the man had rarified talent. Spend even a short stretch aboard his boats and you cannot help but appreciate the convenience and safety features he incorporated into these designs, and the genius behind them. On many occasions while pressing along in challenging conditions, I've told my anxious kids not to worry because "Bill Crealock designed this boat to take good care of us."
This past weekend, we ripped across Chesapeake Bay with a single reefed main and partially furled genny in a solid nor'wester, turned up the Eastern Bay close-reaching steadily at over 6 knots, rounded Tilghman Point, headed across the mouth of the Miles, turned up the Wye River, pinched our way up around Bruff's Island, cracked off a bit and poked our way upriver to a tiny creek. Sailed the entire way, often with newer, flashier "modern" designs motoring along beside us. We had a foul bottom, but maybe we had a little nudge from a helping hand too.
Thank you, Bill, for these wonderful sailing machines and the memories we make in them. You'll be missed.
I invite owners of any Crealock-design (PSC or otherwise) to post a photo or two here in tribute to the Gentleman.

Musical Space: Slide Guitar Is An American Tradition
The idea of sliding something against the strings of a guitar is as American as pecan pie.
the lonesome cry of the slide guitar is a distinctive part of our musical heritage.
It started in Hawaii, of all places; local players took to holding their guitars in their laps, putting a knife-blade to the strings instead of using their fingers. Blues musicians picked up on the raw, twangy wail, typically using a glass medicine bottle or the broken-off neck of a wine bottle against the strings. Bottleneck slide can be heard in classic depression-era recordings, from the Mississippi delta blues of Robert Johnson all the way to the Georgia Piedmont blues of Blind Willie McTell. The rasp of slide technique got even twangier with the invention of the resonator guitar, or Dobro, using a metal cone, sort of like a tin pie plate, to help project the sound.
Country musicians picked up on the slide and refined it into the pedal steel guitar. Players in Appalachia brought the Dobro to Bluegrass. Delta bluesmen like Elmore James electrified the sound in Chicago. And rockers like Duane Allman of the Allman brothers and Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top took that sound to big stadiums.
Slide technique is still very much alive today. Derek Trucks is pushing the blues/rock slide tradition forward, and Jack White continues to bring the American slide guitar to the alt rock crowd. Wichita's own Moreland and Arbuckle carry on the tradition here and all over the world.
The raw emotion of slide guitar crosses genres and generations, and I can't think of anything that sounds more American.
