Meet & Greet: Getting to know a Linnea's Lights vendor with Bixby & Ball
One of the best parts of this business has been in getting to know our wonderful retailers across the country and around the world. We wanted to introduce you to some of our friends in this new blog feature, called "Meet & Greet", which we're kicking off here with California's own Bixby & Ball.
Before we share our fun Q & A, first a bit of background:
Bixby & Ball is a result of the friendship and shared vision between the two founders, Melissa Anderson and Betsy Bracken, which began with their mutual passion for entrepreneurship, design, and improving the most sacred of living spaces—the home. Backed with ingenuity, determination, and a love for all things coastal classic, they have hand-selected their favorite elements of coastal living to create a one-stop shopping experience in the heart of Solana Beach's charming Cedros Avenue Design District. Shoppers will find unique home décor and accessories, custom furniture, antiques and art, designer bedding and pillows, one-of-a-kind jewelry, luxurious bath and body products, fragrance and a variety of meaningful gifts for any special occasion. In addition to the thoughtful selection of products that Bixby & Ball has to offer in the store and online, they also offer full-scale customized interior design services and in-home styling.
Here we chat with Betsy.
1. Where did the name Bixby & Ball come from?
Bixby & Ball are two family names that hold significant meaning for each of us. The Bixby family, on Melissa's side, developed a large part of California near Big Sur and the Ball family, on mine, produced the original mason jar out of Muncie, Indiana. Both of us have been deeply impacted by the incredible spirit of entrepreneurship in our families and felt inspired to create something of our own to honor the value of hard work and giving back to the community, which have been instilled in the two of us for generations.
2. What was the design aesthetic you had in mind for your store?
We wanted to offer a coastal design aesthetic without spelling it out in seashells and anchors — think Coastal Living Magazine with a nod to the nautical. Here we are near the beach and yet before we opened, there really wasn't anywhere offering this aesthetic, so we definitely felt there was a niche we could fill. And our location is unique in that we're housed in the first cottage built on Cedros Avenue in the 1920's, so we wanted to create an experience for our customers that felt less like visiting a store and more like coming home.
3. What's your inspiration for the merchandise you sell?
We're always inspired by the stories behind the products — we want to know who creates them, where they're made and what makes them special. After all, if we don't feel connected to the items we sell, how can we expect our customers to feel compelled to purchase them? We don't want to fill our store with a bunch of stuff — we really strive to curate a thoughtful and cohesive collection of items we would put in our own homes (or already have!).
4. Are there any expansion plans on the horizon?
We've expanded about as much as we can in our quaint little cottage — we've expanded into the small storefront next door and moved our office space to open up more room for retail. Of course we've talked about opening up another location and you never know, you may see a Bixby & Ball pop up somewhere down the road, but right now we're really focusing on growing our e-commerce and interior design services, while continuing to provide exceptional service to our brick and mortar customers.
5. How do you buy for your store, keeping your customers' needs in mind?
Before we opened, we talked a lot about who our ideal customer would be and identified Diane Keaton's character, Erica Barry, from the movie Something's Gotta Give as our dream customer, so during our first buying trip to NYC we shopped for Erica. About a year ago (and again this past weekend!), Diane Keaton came into the store to shop and WOW, that was most definitely a full circle moment. But now that we've established a loyal customer base, we'll think about specific customers as we're buying and say to each other, "Do you think so-and-so would buy that?" And it's so much fun when that specific customer comes in and goes straight for that item.
6. What are some of your favorite pieces in store right now?
Our antique European pine hutch, all of our colorful John Robsahw pillows and the new Linnea's Lights Heirloom Tomato Candle — we can't get enough of that scent!!
7. What drew you to Linnea's Lights?
First and foremost, we absolutely LOVE the scents and packaging (especially the little box of matches enclosed with each candle!) and how the candles liquify as they burn so you get an even burn all the way down to the base of the wick. But we also were drawn to the line after discovering that it was created by a mother and daughter who take such great pride in the quality of their product. And certainly the Indiana connection makes Linnea's Lights extra near and dear.
8. When it comes to candles, which scents do you tend to burn at work vs. at home? Do you differentiate between using a scent that has maybe more of a motivational kick for day and more of a wind-down essence to relax on weekends or evenings?
We each have our favorites and tend to burn those same scents at work and home, but for both of us it's always Pumpkin from Labor Day to Thanksgiving!
9. What's your favorite part about having your own store?
Oh so many things, but hearing customers say that it's their favorite shop…it doesn't get much better than that.
10. Favorite vacation destination?
Melissa's is Mammoth, CA and mine is Leland, MI — both have very special meaning to our families and are the only places we feel we can truly unplug from it all.
11. Favorite neighborhood lunch spot?
Claire's on Cedros for a casual working lunch and Las Olas on the beach if we're in the mood to play hooky on a Friday afternoon and have a few margaritas.
Okay, time for the lightning round:
8 a.m. or 8 p.m.? 8 p.m.
Beach or mountains? Both
Beer or Wine? Wine
Cats or dogs? Dogs
Thanks so much for speaking with us, Betsy! And to our readers, we hope you enjoyed this peek at a wonderful boutique. Check out Bixby & Ball online or next time you're in California!

Experience has shown that excess cabin baggage is a safety hazard and can increase accidents in-flight. It can impede quick and safe evacuation in an emergency. Overloading the overhead bins can cause luggage to fall out, and increase the possibility of injury. The comfort of passengers is also compromised when the cabin is cluttered with unstowed cabin baggage. To ensure our passengers' safety and comfort, we urge all passengers to observe the Indian Government's regulations permitting ONE piece of cabin baggage per adult passenger.
As per the latest amendment to the Civil Aviation Requirement, Section 5, Series X, Part I issued by DGCA, guests onboard all flights are required to follow the prescribed guidelines for the use of mobile phones and Transmitting PED's (Personal Electronic Devices) on 'Flight Mode'.

Guests will be required to switch off their Mobile phones and other portable electronic devices once the aircraft doors are closed. Flight Mode will not be permitted.
In-flight: Guests will be permitted to use Mobile phones and Transmitting PED's on Flight / Airplane mode only after the seat belt sign has been switched off.
In case of any interference and for safety reasons, the Cabin Crew in charge may inform the guests to stop using their PEDs.
Prior to landing: Guests must switch off all electronic devices like Laptops, transmitting PED's including mobile phones prior to landing.
After landing: After landing, guests will be permitted to use mobile phones once the aircraft clears the active runway. However this may not be applicable incase the landing takes place in low visibility conditions.
The Cabin Crew in charge will clearly mention low visibility conditions during the pre-landing announcement.
Our aircraft are equipped with life jackets and seat cushion as floatation device. The cabin crew demomstrate the proper use of these during the Safety Demo before the flight takes off. Our cabin crew is thoroughly trained to handle any situation and we request you to follow their instructions in case of any problems on board.
Your comfort comes right up with safety. Which is why we have designed our aircraft with your comfort in mind. Your Première seats are fitted with armrest tables, arranged in a two-by-two configuration so that every passenger has a window or aisle seat.

Buying liquids and gels at non-EU airports is not permitted. If you change planes at an EU airport your purchases will be confiscated by the airport security.
Your purchases can also be confiscated if you buy liquids and gels onboard an aircraft operated by an airline from a non-EU country.

About 35 percent of the Carrabelle-based bank's loans were made to developers of office buildings, shopping plazas and housing developments by 2008, according to state regulators.

For example, NPD Group said in late November that the new OS had gotten off to a "slow start" among consumers.
Asked about this, Reller said that Windows 8 has been meeting Microsoft's sales expectations all along, and that the high level of demand specifically for touch devices with the new OS has "surprised a lot of people."
Unfortunately, that caused an initial shortage of such devices. "Frankly, the supply was too short," she said at the event which was held at the CES show in Las Vegas and where she answered questions from a JP Morgan analyst.
There were other distribution issues. "There was some misalignment between where products were distributed and where the demand was," she said.
Microsoft made adjustments, and is still making them, she said. Many Windows 8 tablets running x86 chips are just starting to hit the market, while some tablets running Windows RT -- the Windows 8 version fo ARM chips -- didn't get the type of distribution "that would have been ideal," she said.

Must be nice to have a monopoly.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 00:38
monopoly - exclusive control of a commodity or service in a particular market, or a control that makes possible the manipulation of prices.
Make a product that everyone wants to use, not one that is forced on you, = monoploy..? How is it Microsoft's fault the competition sucks (linux) and doesn't care to cater to the needs of corporate (apple) ?
Please explain..

Maintaining safety on campus is everyone's business...
The Campus Safety and Security Office is located in the Dougan Building, Suite 180. We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year to provide a safe and secure educational environment for the UW Tacoma community.
Campus Security Values:
- Respect: We safeguard the dignity and rights of all individuals.
- Trust: We maintain an environment of trust with each other and the people we serve.
- Partnerships: We work with all segments of our community through effective communication and collaboration.
- Professionalism: We strive to maintain the highest standards of conduct and training.
- Accountability: We accept individual responsibility for our actions
Prompt Reporting
- It is important to promptly report suspicious activity or incidents to Campus Safety and Security, even if you are not sure criminal activity has taken place.
- Tacoma Police Department will quickly respond to violent crimes and other incidents beyond the capabilities of the Campus Safety staff. This kind of partnership is very common on college and university campuses across the nation. UW Tacoma enjoys a very quick response time from Tacoma police, and their officers spend a significant amount of time here getting to know our people and our campus.
Access to Campus
If you need to be in a campus building after regular working hours you should notify your unit supervisor or class instructor as well as the Campus Safety officer on duty so they can consider your safety during their patrols. Several campus rooms are protected by intrusion alarms. Before entering such areas, Campus Safety and Security should be called.

Lighting technologies have recently advanced at a tremendous pace. Not only are burn times longer—five to six hours isn't uncommon—but it's also now normal for charge times to be significantly shorter than burn times, so those last-minute night-ride invites are not a problem. And the lights are much brighter, illuminating the trail with beams that rip through the darkness and chase the shadows away. The secret is in the lamps, so here we break down what's happening inside two of the hottest lighting systems, HID and LED, by comparing Topeak's 5-watt LED to its 10-watt HID.
LED is an acronym for Light Emitting Diode, which is a semiconductor that produces light. As current flows from the anode to the cathode within the semiconductor, electrons and electron "holes" flow into the junction between the two sides. When an electron meets an electron hole, it releases energy in the form of a photon (light). What color light is produced depends on the semiconductor's materials.
1. One big advantage to the way LEDs work is that they achieve full power almost instantly.
2. LEDs are also nearly as energy efficient as metal halides, but lag behind in brightness.
3. Because LEDs are used in many more applications than HIDs (for instance, LED automotive brake- and even headlights are becoming ubiquitous), the technology is changing rapidly and may soon surpass the luminosity of HIDs.
4. LEDs produce less heat than HIDs, and can be housed in smaller and therefore lighter-weight packages. They're also much tougher and potentially more efficient than HIDs. However, LED's performance, brightness and longevity drop off if they become too hot, which is why Topeak's housing is a finned heat sink.
5. The color temperature of Topeak's five-watt LED is 6,000k-plus; white LEDs can vary from 4,100k to nearly 10,000k.

Music Monday Major Key — "Nothing Else Majeur" By Metallica (Sorta)
Posted by KingShamus on January 28, 2013
If you know the original version of the song, be prepared to get mildly weirded out.
Played in a minor key, "Nothing Else Matters" is a brooding 'us against the world' manifesto. "Nothing Else Majeur" is relentlessly cheerful. James Hetfield isn't a grizzled road dog but a giddy school boy joyously expressing how much he digs his chick.
Metallica's self-titled black album, where "Nothing Else Matters" first appeared, was a polarizing affair back in the day. The dedicated metal-heads who made Metallica a platinum-selling act despite a complete lack of media exposure were annoyed by the group's bid for mainstream success. Outside of the thrash underground, millions of fans were stoked by the Black Album's straight-ahead riffs and Hetfield's arena-god menace. Depending on musical taste, Metallica's self-titled disc was either the end of a great band or the beginning of a string of successful grunge albums.
"Nothing Else Majeur" makes that fan dichotomy even more pronounced, which is kinda hard to believe.
I don't understand the process of changing the key of a song, but no matter how it's done this is pretty wild. Even though I'm not a fan of "Matters", "Majeur" throws off listener expectations in a goofy yet satisfyingly mind-warping way. You've heard the song a million times, but throw in a key change and it goes from an old radio chestnut into something else entirely. It's kinda like taking a longer slightly more complicated ride home from work. You still arrive at your destination, but you can't just put your brain on auto-pilot to get there.
I snagged this from the Metal Sucks site.

I admit: the video is pretty cool.
I'm not good enough to describe key changes easily without getting into tonic notes, accidentals, triads and the like. Whether you meant to or not, you already pretty much nailed it in your post when you highlighted the difference between the original piece and this one.
Basically, minor keys usually give more of a sense of foreboding, which is why most of your horror movie music is in minor keys. Major keys are usually happier-sounding and feel more upbeat.
Was a huge fan of most groups back in the day (you'd need me on your "80's-rock-trivia" team, I promise), but never really cared for Metallica. They were always talented, though.
I just preferred a singer who could actually, well, …sing, rather than Hetfield's growly rasping.
Good stuff, King; thanks for posting…

without fear of getting knocked out, I see Rashad opening up a lot in his strikes with this fight.
Rashad by TKO rd. 2
I love the poster... Who's that GSP guy in the co-main event? Lol
A tiger never loses sleep over the opinion of sheep.
1 round eh?
Evans: Fight with Chael Sonnen likely for November
Evans, appearing as a guest on Alchemist Radio, said of the potential fight with Sonnen, "That fight is going to happen."
The former UFC light heavyweight champion added:
We're still talking about it, but it's definitely something the UFC wants. It's something that we want to do well. If it does happen it will happen on November 16th. Hopefully it'll be in the co-main event slot. I definitely think its co-main event worthy.
Boring fight.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
I don't know with the way Sonnen pushes the pace and goes after his opponent this could be a damn good and exciting fight.
Nah as much as I don't like Sonnen the one thing I can't say is that I have seen him in a boring fight.No disrespect but have you actually watched most of Sonnen's fights?????i agree chael is one of the more exciting fighters in the history of MMA who uses a primarily wrestling based plan of attack.
I swear to God you are the only two people I have ever heard say the Chael's actual fighting style is exciting. As a matter of fact, nearly every MMA fighter ever to weigh in has basically stated that his schtick is derived as an attempt to overshadow his horribly boring fighting style (Vitor, Forrest, Rampage, Lombard, etc.).
Exciting wrestlers?
Dan Henderson
Not Chael Sonnen.

Catch-up wrote:I did not get the impression that the golem horse was suddenly sentient, or genuinely cavorting around happily. I remember thinking it was only doing it because Moist had ordered it to. It was just following the order. I get that the horse being able to speak was inconsistent with the previous info on the golem army
All golems appear to be sentient enough to think and respond to orders. Anghammarad could speak, and he was a very old golem. I don't recall whether it was ever said that these newly rediscovered ancient golems were unable to speak. It seems likely that the idea that golems shouldn't speak was a later development. Since the language was different, and the ancient golems didn't have to speak aloud to communicate with each other (didn't they use a sort of long-wave vibration that traveled through the earth?), they wouldn't speak aloud unless they had something to say to a non-golem. The horse was a golem, just one that happened to be horse-shaped, and it had something to say. We know golems can learn, and that the horses were not buried. The horses had the time to listen to the current spoken language and learned it; if they hadn't, the ghost professor would have had to teach everyone the old language. So the horse knew modern language and could speak when it wanted to.

Last month we reached the end of the drivetrain renewal for our '83 Camaro known as Project Crossfire Z, as we completed the installation of a Moser 12-bolt rearend. The bolt-in Moser package can be ordered to work with any stock Camaro brake configuration, yet we opted to upgrade to a housing that incorporated the beefier Ford bearing ends instead of standard GM C-clip retainers. This made upgrading to disc brakes easier, and necessary. Before we decided on what brake system to use, the folks at Baer Brakes had gotten wind of our latest project and suggested we give one of their Pro-PLUS systems a try.
These kits come complete with everything you'll need to outfit your Camaro with a set of their super trick Baer 6P six-piston calipers and two-piece slotted rotors. While valued way over and above the budget for our project (street priced at around $3,700), the Baer guys reminded us that there are plenty of third-gen owners willing to spend the money on their rides for the ultimate in performance. And the Baer jewels are simply the best money can buy. With that said, and shouldered with the responsibility of providing our readers with test and installation data on everything from low buck to big dollar, we put down the calculator, ignored our feelings of over indulgence, and forged ahead with the installation. And we're glad we did ...
What's next? •So, you just fit your toy with a set of the nastiest looking accessories this side of an 871, and you can't wait to throw your buddy into the shoulder belt as you rip down from 100 mph. But if you go from tightening the last lug nut, straight to the track, you and your wallet are going to be sorry. Before you test the performance of your new brakes with a heavy foot, your fresh rotors need to go through a "seasoning process." This is where heat is gradually induced into them over dozens of stopping and cooling down periods.
Standing on the brakes before they are properly seasoned will cause premature failure and warping and/or cracking of the rotors. Even the good guys at Baer won't be able to warranty that mistake. In addition to the rotor seasoning process, brake pads must go through a break in process of their own called "bedding." This procedure causes the organic binding compound in the pad to burn from the surface of the pad. It then allows the friction material to make proper contact with the rotor. So, it's a good idea to protect your investment by checking out www.baer.com for their complete seasoning and bedding procedures.
How did they work? So for the bucks we just poured into the brake system to get our disco dog to stop, we had high hopes that something good would happen. After a couple weeks of seasoning the rotors and bedding the pads, we packed up the radar gun and timing lights and headed out to our test facility. Besides the '83 Camaro project, we also brought along our '10 Camaro to put it through the paces as well.

Regular meetups are held in the bay area – see the Facebook page and the Meetup.com page. There is also a New York meetup group (see the Facebook page) and more coming soon.
If you'd like to start a new meetup group, please sign up as a seasteading ambassador and contact us.
June – August 2012
The Seasteading Institute will be attending this year's Ephemerisle.
Ephemerisle is a floating festival on the Sacramento Delta originally started by The Seasteading Institute, and now crowd-sourced and community operated independently of the Institute. Last year 300-400 people passed through the festival over the course of the weekend. Participants are encouraged to "bring their own land," which means arrive on a houseboat, sailboat, raft, or other structure that provides a floating home for the course of the event. We hope attendees of The Seasteading Conference will spend the following weekend with us celebrating in a temporary floating village. More information about how to participate can be found on Ephemerisle's Wiki page and Facebook pages.
Seasteading Enthusiast Steven Fowkes is opening his home for our this San Francisco Bay area meetup. Please visit the meetup page to RSVP.
Steven Fowkes address is 22560 Poppy Drive, Cupertino, CA.
This gathering will be held outdoors, so bring layers in case the temp drops in the evening.
Chef Joni will create a simple gourmet meal, served buffet style. A plate of food costs $15 per person, which should compare to the cost at a restaurant. If you have food issues, send them to Steve (firstname.lastname@example.com). The entree will be chicken and there will be plenty of veggies.
The house is three minutes from the Highway 85 Interstate 280 interchange. Exit off 280 at Foothill (the first exit north of 85). If you are coming north on 85, take the 280N exit, stay in the rightmost lane and immediately exit onto Foothill. Turn left at the light. If you are coming north on 280, watch the merge! The Foothill exit is very close to 85 and there is only 99.44 feet to make the merge for the Foothill exit.
There is a waterfall-creek feature next to the patio which makes a great place to hang out and talk. The creek will be running by 6:00 PM, if you get there early.

OKALOOSA ISLAND — Two showers and multiple hand washes after leaving my day of working at the Gulfarium and my hands still smelled like fish.
The only thing that took that smell away was time.
But that was a very small price to pay for the opportunity to spend the day working as a trainer at the Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park as part of my experience of trying out new jobs in the community.
As strange as this might sound, I was more qualified to be a marine animal trainer than I was for my other two Out & About jobs so far of making pizzas at Godfather's and working at the Fort Walton Beach Yacht Club.
I had never worked at a pizza place or a yacht club before, but when I was in high school I wanted to be a zoologist. My school arranged for me to job shadow at the Indianapolis Zoo a couple of times, with one of those days being devoted to marine animals.
Who knows, if the original PlayStation hadn't come out my freshmen year and I didn't almost flunk out of college, I could be in an entirely different field right now.
My time at the Gulfarium was great. I got to assist with one of the dolphin performances and one of the seals' acts. The animals are beautiful, intelligent and full of personality.
During the show I helped direct the dolphins on what to do, as well as give them some treats. After the show was over, I was able to put on a wet suit and get in the water with them.
I spent most of my time in the water working with Sebastian, the Gulfarium's male Atlantic bottlenose dolphin.
We did some one-on-one training practicing some spins and jumps. I don't think my commands were as precise as what Sebastian was used to, though. He seemed a little confused when I told him to go off and do a high jump. Instead he just swam in a circle and came right back to me.
The animals at the Gulfarium are like us. They can get bored, but the Gulfarium has a building full of items for the animals to play with. The otters like to play with ice cubes, of all things, while we got a soccer ball, football and yoga mat to engage the dolphins.
It was a surreal experience, but I can honestly say I have played fetch with a dolphin.
I also got to help out in preparing the animals' food for the day. While most of the fish sorting was completed before I arrived, we did get some food ready for them to have an afternoon snack.
The animals at the Gulfarium eat well. In an average day, the park will go through about 180 pounds of food. Staff members inspect every fish the animals eat. I was instructed on how to look for blemishes or any bite marks. All the fish that we found that had something wrong with them were set aside to be donated to one of the area's animal protection agencies.
I hope to do many more different jobs around the community in the months ahead, but it's hard to imagine one that will match the thrill of playing fetch with a dolphin or feeding an Asian small clawed otter. Seriously, those animals are so cute.
Q&A with Chad Stouffer, director of animal management at the Gulfarium:
Dusty: How did I do?
Chad: You did great. It's always great when we have some visitors come in and helping us out through the day, learning about the detailed aspects of our job that we do because our job isn't always standing in front of crowds being in shows.
D: What type of experience do you look for?
C: The thing we all have in common is we all have experience working with animals. Usually we're looking for people with volunteer experience, intern experience. There's not a lot of animal-training schools out there, so it's not a specific type of degree we're looking for, but somebody with a life science degree or experience working with animals.
D: What is the average salary?
C: The salary range of a trainer is certainly not up to par with some other career fields. We do it because we love the animals. It has nothing to do with the money.
D: Am I hirable?
C: Of course. Absolutely. You did a great job today.

The semi-pro fit of the W's Crystal Jersey offers comfort specific to MTB riding, and its Light Micro-Airdry fabric provides increased airflow and moisture wicking to keep you comfortably cool.
There is a cult in cycling. A spawning of athletes unwilling to put their bikes up for the season. Their lives co-exist with riding come rain or come shine. Their needs require details woven with simplicity. A pratical approach for a relentless breed of riders.
It spits in your face, it steals your breath, it sends shivers down your spine. Mother Nature is relentless. But even in extreme weather conditions, you are focused on the ride because of cutting edge technology that stands the test of any cold weather warrior. Inspired by the will and the freedom that only exist on the singletrack trodden mountain bike trails slick with mud and resounding the spiritual meditation between you and the outdoors.

Over the course of his lifetime, the legendary director Orson Welles (1915-1985) was forced to leave many of his grander movie-making projects unfinished, generally for want of sustained financial backing. Each successive unfinished effort generated buzz throughout the worshipful film community that only served to brighten the luster of his legend. Thus it was only a matter of time before one of his many admirers bought the rights to the fairly extensive footage he shot for his film Don Quixote (begun in 1955) and attempted to edit it into some semblance of a finished film, based on research into Welles' stated intentions and notes. A fuzzy, out-of-focus print of the resulting film was shown at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival, and it was immediately deemed as a hashed-up job, a travesty bordering on the sacrilegious, by the assembled deeply interested and knowledgeable viewers. Their criticism focused mainly on issues that ordinary viewers would deem excessively technical, but the gist of it was that this was a very un-Wellesian use of Welles' footage. However, the film does offer viewers a unique opportunity to see some of the master's mature story ideas onscreen. In addition to footage from the film, the movie is also a kind of semi-documentary homage to Welles, showing footage of the famed director at work.~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

First time poster here!
I'm now 31 and I've played almost all of Sierra's games since I was a kid (yes even Larry... we were cool back then... and how else do you think I learned how to play Blackjack!)
I loved every moment of these games and they really challenged the mind. They hold a special place in my heart.
However, we should get with the times.
King's Quest is a controversial series due to the loyal fanbase; I know it will be hard to please everyone. But I don't think going for a 2D classic game will cut it this time.
I think going for a 3D (please don't kill me) Mask of Eternity style'd game is the way to go, and adding more classic elements from the older games into it.
Think about it; a POLISHED free roam 3D game with classic item hunt and use mechanics with MINOR or REDUCED action sequences with a little more mature themes/humor would be pretty good if pulled off.
I don't want to feel nostalgic; if I want to I'll just replay the games. I want a new direction.
As far as puzzles, they should be challenging but fair. No dead-ends, but death sequences are ok (to provide a sense of urgency).
The best games this new generation for me were Demon's Souls & Dark Souls, simply because the mechanics of minimal plot, addictive combat, and challenge created a great formula. Every mistake you made was yours and you learned from it.
So putting this philosophy into the new game would surely be helpful.
Sorry for the long post!

I used to be an iMac user (2005-2008), well in 2008 I bought the Mac Pro (8core 2.8ghz xeon), and I have not had to replace my computer since. Still feels pretty fast and snappy, gaming is average (I do use bootcamp a ton). So now the new iMacs are coming out and I'm wondering if its time to upgrade again, and if the new imacs are noticabily faster than what I currently have.
Here are my current specs:
Mac Pro 2008 (30" display near same res as the 27" iMac so no biggie there)
Processor 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 10 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
Storage Crucial c300 SSD 128gb + 1TB Samsung 7200rpm
Heres what I'm looking to get:
iMac 27" LED Display 2560x1440 resolution
Processor 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
Memory 24GB (2x4GB Apple, 2x8GB Expercom) 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB GDDR5
Storage 1TB Fusion Drive
So if anyone has any ideas in terms of the new cpu's and their performance vs the xeon's, same with the memory and graphics.
Am kinda afraid of going to a fusion (Software solution eeeeek), where as now I just use my ssd for everything, then media on the regular drive.
Anyway, thanks for the help, hopefully

Environmental Issues: Global Warming
Global Warming Main Page
All Documents in Global Warming Tagged emissions
- What's at Risk from Industry's Full-Scale Assault on the EPA and the Clean Air Act?
Public Health Protections Under Attack
- It is important to understand that the EPA is one of our major success stories, representing vital problem-solving on a national scale, and that we should support the EPA doing its job.
- "Emissions Intensity" -- Pollution by Any Other Name?
Why emissions keep growing under the Bush administration plan.
Fact Sheet
- The Bush administration's voluntary approach to global warming focuses on reducing emissions intensity -- the ratio of carbon dioxide to a measure of economic output. But under the administration's plan, even as emissions intensity improves, total emissions will keep on rising. To combat global warming effectively, the government must focus its policy on reducing the total amount of heat-trapping pollution in the atmosphere.
- Voluntary Efforts Won't Work
Why we need mandatory limits on carbon dioxide.
Fact Sheet
- The federal government has for years tried to curb global warming pollution by asking corporate polluters to voluntarily cut emissions. The evidence is in -- voluntary emissions cuts are not sufficient. Too few companies take part in these initiatives; even power companies -- the leading participants -- mostly consent only to business-as-usual actions that make no real impact on rising emissions trends. Only binding limits on global warming pollution will create the market structure needed to push competitive businesses beyond the cosmetic and into taking meaningful steps to reduce global warming pollution.

Say Cheese!
SLU Experts Recommends 5 Ways to Enjoy Cheese at Your Super Bowl Party
ST. LOUIS - Whether or not you're a Green Bay Packer Cheesehead, you'll probably serve the tasty, high-fat, high-calorie American classic at your Super Bowl party.
|Katie Eliot
Although cheese tends to get a bad rap, with a few menu modifications it can "steel" a position of honor at your festive gathering, says Saint Louis University nutrition and dietetics instructor Katie Eliot.
"Cheese is actually one of the most concentrated sources of key nutrients including protein, Calcium and vitamin A and can be found in many reduced fat versions," Eliot said.
"But cheese also is high in saturated fat. A one-ounce portion of cheese, which is about the size of two dice, can have as much as one-third of your daily saturated fat needs. So portion control is important."
Not all cheeses are created equal, Eliot says. She recommends serving harder cheeses, which are aged longer and typically more flavorful. This means a little will go a long, saving you fat and calories. Mozzarella - the most popular cheese in the U.S. - is another good choice because it naturally contains less saturated fat than most other cheeses.
Another tip to giving your favorite cheese appetizers and dishes a nutritional twist: try adding vegetables and whole grains. Eliot shares her five favorite tips to enjoy cheese at your Super Bowl party:
1. Cheese fondue. Use different flavors and combine some reduced-fat cheeses with regular varieties. Use vegetables, apple slices and chunks of whole grain breads as dippers.
2. Macaroni and cheese. Prepare this classic dish, beloved by kids and adults alike, with a healthy flair. Start with whole grain pasta and mix in reduced fat and strong flavored cheeses like Gouda and cheddar. Top with whole wheat bread crumbs for extra crunch.
3. Cheese and vegetable skewers. Thread skewers with small bites of cheese, cherry tomatoes and marinated mushrooms for an easy yet elegant looking appetizer that is a great finger food. Use a soft cheese like mozzarella to cut back on fat.
4. Cottage cheese. There's a lot you can do with this versatile, low-fat food. Use it as a base for dips instead of sour cream or mayonnaise or as a side for a colorful fruit display.
5. Bean and cheese nachos. Turn this quintessential appetizer that is usually loaded with fat and calories into a healthy dish. Prepare the treat with black beans, diced tomatoes and onions, sprinkled with sharp cheddar, served with baked chips.

Bobby Culhane comes right out with it, no excuses: "I've changed the build so many times over the past 11 years that my Camaro has evolved while still staying modern. I wouldn't change what I've done to it to change the memories I've had building my car." In essence, the car has become him and vice-versa. In this day of "everything has a price," Bobby Culhane reverts to a shady glen of his past. He wouldn't loosen his grip on the Camaro if someone held a shotgun to his brow and began making angry noises. Brand loyalty fanatic? Passion run amok? You could say that.
Fact being that he's just 29, Culhane's good old days are not necessarily the same as other people's. "I've been a die-hard Camaro enthusiast since I was six years old. So when the LT1 Camaro came out ['93 model year], I was head over heels and it quickly became my dream car," Bobby confessed. "When I was 15, I was carrying around a Chilton's LT1 F-body repair manual, and I didn't even own a Camaro. I wanted to know everything about the car of my dream before I went and bought it." At the time, Culhane was living in Greeley, Colorado, about 60 miles northeast of Denver. He has since moved to Surprise, Arizona.
Every time he went out, it seemed, he was catching glimpses of a specific 1994 Camaro Z28. Shortly afterward, Bobby traced it to the Chevy store in Greeley. It was indeed for sale. Then his golden egg fractured, spilling a horrendous yoke. "The car was in pretty rough shape, from door locks not working to exhaust dragging on the ground. The paint was dull. The window tint was purple and hanging off the glass. The driver side window track was broken and there was a scratch down the passenger side … from fender to the rear quarter panel. The Opti-Spark was dying. Stained carpets and seats and hacked up wires in the electrical system. Door panel clips were missing, or they were broken off. It had a bra and a high-rise spoiler," Bobby decried.
Things didn't always go so well. During the Camaro's 11-year gestation, it sawed through 11 transmissions, 7 torque converters, and 5 sets of gears. In the end, the crashed equipment was more or less the product of nitrous oxide. Bobby: "Most people would have sold the car after all the issues I've gone through, but I never gave up on her." That he is a custom fabricator/installer in real life mitigated some of the expense. His wife Deanna has always been deep in his corner. Even doing everything himself, save for the paint, transmission, and rear-axle work, Culhane's got more time and loot in this fish than he wants to think about, but "all the struggles, cuts, and bruises along the way were well worth the outcome."
Without regards to a particular discipline, Culhane simply built the car to satisfy what was in his mind's eye. It's clear that a small thermo-nuclear device in the engine bay was not his aim nor was it warranted. He wanted reliable oats. Turn the key and go down the road. Still, he maintains a fail-safe. He couched a 200hp Nitrous Express kit in the event of an emergency. He made a nice bed for the whirring parts to lie in, beginning with numerous bolt-on suspension pieces that include UMI sub-frame connectors, UMI tubular lower control arms and relocation brackets, Spohn tubular torque arm, Spohn 25mm rear antisway bar and a UMI 35mm front bar. Bobby wanted big rubber. He narrowed it all down to 18x10.5 C5 deep dish OE wheels carrying 295/35 BFG g-Force KDW Gen 1 in front and BFG 315/30 Drag Radials on the scratching out end. Mini-tubs were unnecessary. A judicious wheel offset and tires with the right diameter/section width were a dope fit, facilitated by Bobby with some creative massaging on the rear inner fender wells and rolled quarter-panel lips.
