corn ethanol industry
Fact vs. Fiction on the Renewable Fuel Standard
The mission of Fuels America and the Renewable Fuels Association is a no-holds-barred defense of the corn ethanol industry and the defective federal biofuels standard, not the interests of U.S. consumers.[read more]
EPA Unwavering in Support for Ethanol, Despite Drought

Last Friday the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rejected the petitions of a bi-partisan group of state governors for a waiver of the federal ethanol mandate, resolving one of several energy-related issues that had been deferred beyond the presidential election. The waiver requests filed in August cited...[read more]
Poor Corn Crop Will Have Major Impact on Ethanol Market
Recent reports indicate that what had been expected to be a record crop of corn has been downgraded such that only 40% of the corn crop is being classified as in good or excellent condition. This represents one of the biggest threats to the U.S. ethanol industry.[read more]
Will Solar Bankruptcies Be Different From Ethanol's?
The solar equipment business appears to be undergoing a shakeout, as three US solar firms have declared bankruptcy in the last few weeks. The most prominent of these was Solyndra, which was notable for its receipt of a $535 million federal loan guarantee. Joining Solyndra in bankruptcy filings were Massachusetts-based Evergreen Solar,...[read more]

"In that case I do wish that the EPA would take Global Warming seriously. A 30% improvement, by 2030, in just the coal burning CO2 emissions is far too little. I think that the official position was that the improved efficiency was not intended to imply a reduction in the coal industry's output. That is plain ridiculous. If ALL the USA's coal burning ceased, and all 1000 million tons of US coal ..."

No-win situation in Iraq
Re: Terry Paulson's March 17 essay, "Selling you the easy peace":
Another "stay the course to success" — the Republican candidate will; the Democrats won't.
The surge has improved the situation in Iraq, but accompanying factors need to be acknowledged, i.e., the cease-fire by Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr for his militia and the decision by some Sunni tribal leaders to quit the insurgency. Without these, the violence would likely not have been reduced.
The purpose of the surge was to allow Iraqi government leaders "breathing room" to come to agreement on major issues on the table for five years. Not much progress has been made. Sunnis do not trust the Shiites. Northern Shiites do not trust southern Shiites. Sunnis do not trust the Shiite-dominated national police. The central government does not let Sunni forces join the police force. The Kurds just want to control their own territory and the oil revenues it generates.
How do we identify success and know when we have achieved it? We are in a no-win situation. Selling democracy and establishing stability in a country where the first order of priority is settling tribal and religious differences is a tough order. Success could be easily equated with preventing civil war.
This is an election year. Democrats say they will get us out in 2009. The Republican says he will stay for 100 years, if necessary. Pragmatists say we are between a rock and a hard place and will likely need to keep some force level in Iraq for a long time — and that force will suffer casualties on a monthly basis for a long time.
That's the reality of the situation, no matter which party is in the White House.

Looking at the 2012 season for the Buffalo Bills there is one man who seems to be helping the team on defense in an effort to achieve their goals; and it may not be who you think it is. It's not the high priced free agent signing of Mario Williams or Mark Anderson. It's not All-Pro defensive tackle Kyle Williams or second year man Marcell Dareus. It's not even the rejuvenated middle linebacker Nick Barnett or rookie sensation Stephon Gilmore, who seems to have silenced his critics with his increasing level of play each and every week. While all these people seem to be good candidates, the answer to this question is the Bills' free safety and fourth year man out of Oregon, Jairus Byrd.

Vintage: 2010
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Varietal: Malbec
In recent years, the Malbec single variety wines coming out of many New World countries have been gaining a lot of attention as a result of their fantastic plummy flavors, and strong, full-bodied nature. However, Malbec grape varietals have been cultivated for centuries in many Old World countries for these very characteristics, and they have long had a strong presence in some of the best blended wines ever produced by leading wineries. Their high tannin level and heavy juiciness means they are ideal for big, powerful full-bodied wines packing a strong fruit-forward punch on the palate, and their beautiful deep red color has long been admired and upheld as a mark of quality. The Malbec grapes are probably at their best when blended with other, mellower and more rounded grape varietals, such as a Merlot, as this allows their best features and their fruity flavor to shine, whilst being softened somewhat and made lighter and more drinkable.
Region: Cuyo
Situated in and around the Andean mountains, the Cuyo region of Argentina has long been associated with the best of the country's wine industry. Including now world famous provinces such as Mendoza and La Rioja, Argentina's Cuyo region has something of an ideal environment for the cultivation of high quality grapes – including Argentina's flagship varietal, the Malbec – which includes the beautiful Desaguadero River and its tributaries. Although the region itself is quite dry and arid, the soils have a remarkably high mineral content, and plenty of iron which gives it the distinctive red color associated with Cuyo. For several decades now, wineries in Cuyo have been booming, as more and more of the global wine audience begin to recognize the region's remarkable potential for rich and flavorful wines.
Country: Argentina
It is said that the first Argentinian vines were planted in the Mendoza more than four hundred years ago by European settlers, and despite these early wines being used primarily for religious purposes, the fervor for wine making never left the area. Today, Argentina is keen to demonstrate its technological prowess when it comes to vineyard cultivation, by combining traditional methods of irrigation left over from the Huarpes Indians with modern techniques in order to make the dry, arid desert an ideal environment for growing grapes. Indeed, these ancient irrigation channels, dug hundreds of years ago and still in use today, bring mineral-rich melt water from the Andes via the Mendoza river, something which gives the grapes grown in this region some of their character. The primary grape of this and other regions of Argentina is the Malbec, which is highly susceptible to rot in its native France, but which thrives in the dry and hot climate of South America, producing rich and plummy wines which are highly drinkable especially when young.

Javier Manrique - Art Opening 10/13
If Luscious Garage were a play, Javier Manrique would be in the cast: the thoughtful, sophisticated artist who graces the set with his artwork, his stories, and his general love of people. We are truly fortunate to have him in our lives.
Javier is a teacher and an accomplished artist; his work has been shown internationally and critically acclaimed. What a pleasure it is to announce the opening of his show at Luscious Garage, our first. The canvases are generous and compliment the unique space; having worked in their company I remain fascinated. "Among Women Only" is one of my favorites, pictured here.
Please join us for refreshments and reflection on Saturday, October 13th, from 4-6. For more information on Javier, check out his website.

LG on EcoNews, TV20
LG cracked the small screen last night on TV20's EcoNews, a daily segment dedicated to "Your Green Life" in the Bay Area. It's always interesting to see how things are edited (we provide services beyond making the car "more cool", for instance) but by in large I think we present well. My thanks to Lizzi from SF Green Cab for hanging out for the filming.

Information Codes
It was a brief decade ago that the modern "check engine" light emerged. Though it looked the same, it fronted the second generation of "on-board diagnostics," a.k.a. OBD II. With OBD II came a standardized format for stored codes (formally known as "diagnostic trouble codes" or DTCs in tech jargon)—five digit hexidecimal codes, to be exact. P0301 is now known as "Misfire Detected Cylinder #1." P0455 points to the gas cap. There are hundreds more.
Hybrid owners are advanced in their automotive fluency, both because their cars are high tech and owners themselves are more interested. But the cars have done their part to up the ante. With the popularity of the Prius comes a newfound warning indicator more ominous than "check engine:" a red triangle fondly known as "the red triangle of death." Not only that, owners must negotiate a secondary level of diagnostic trouble codes, "information codes" also known as "INF codes" or "sub-codes." Without this data, the DTC is too vague to properly (or efficiently) diagnose.
Witness the dreaded P3009, for instance. Generally it describes a voltage leak (short) somewhere in the Toyota hybrid system. People often worry about the high voltage wiring being chaffed somehow, causing this code. It's better known on the Gen 1 Prius, whose undersized drive motor is prone to fatigue (and eventual failure). The failure aspect often comes in the form of the P3009.
High voltage spans the length of a hybrid, from battery to motor-generator. So how do we know where to find (and therefore fix) the problem? Help comes in the form of information codes. I've copied the first page of the 18 page instructions pertaining to P3009 on the 04 Prius; note that there are five different sub-codes: 526, 611, 612, 613, and 614. Each points to a different aspect of the high voltage system. The HV ECU quarantines the problem depending on the operating conditions when the leak is detected.
The details and their importance are largely private to the technican in getting the job done. But awareness of Information Codes is essential to the vehicle owner when it comes to warranty disputes or elusive repairs. When multiple people get involved, a DTC alone is not enough to understand the situation. In record keeping it's now essential to list not only the main codes but any secondary information of importance as well. Who's to say if and when that information may be needed, and after clearing the code, it's a guess to say what it might have been.

Prayer and Meditation for Friday, December 6, 2013

Friday of the First Week of Advent Lectionary: 179
Reading 1 Is 29:17-24
Thus says the Lord GOD: But a very little while, and Lebanon shall be changed into an orchard, and the orchard be regarded as a forest! On that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book; And out of gloom and darkness, the eyes of the blind shall see. The lowly will ever find joy in the LORD, and the poor rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. For the tyrant will be no more and the arrogant will have gone; All who are alert to do evil will be cut off, those whose mere word condemns a man, Who ensnare his defender at the gate, and leave the just man with an empty claim. Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of the house of Jacob, who redeemed Abraham: Now Jacob shall have…

The afternoon of Monday, March 31st was a typical day at Stevenson University until 2:24 p.m., when cell phones across campus suddenly displayed a text alert that we have never had to send before: "Active shooter on the Owings Mills campus." The same warning popped up on office PCs and classroom computer projectors.
Students, faculty and staff locked doors, piled desks and chairs to create barricades and hid under desks and in closets to protect themselves wherever they were on campus. Within seconds, Baltimore County Police and SWAT teams — later followed by representatives from University of Maryland's police and the FBI — swarmed the campus to assess, investigate and secure the site.

Godolphin Racing's Alpha, the 2012 Aiken Trained Horse of the Year, has returned to the United States.
The bay colt, was back on the work tab last Sunday, breezing three-furlongs in 37.29 at Saratoga. The son of the 2006 Eclipse Award winning Three-Year-Old Male Bernardini was broken and trained in Aiken by Tim Jones, and is trained at the racetrack by Kiaran McLaughlin.
The Grade 1 winner started his four-year-old campaign in the United Arab Emirates, making two starts, including a fifth place finish in his last race, the Group 2 Godolphin Mile on March 30 at Meydan Racecourse.
"He looks great," said McLaughlin, in a phone interview Friday morning. "We're not sure where he'll go next. He'll continue to train. The Whitney is always a possibility. And based on his pedigree, on his dam's side, we may decide to try him on the turf."
Darley Stable's homebred Incognito is among the entries for Saturday's 59th running of the Grade 2 Peter Pan Stakes at Belmont Park. The gray colt is coming off of consecutive victories. Incognito was broken and trained in Aiken by Tim Jones.
Incognito's dam, Octave, won two-thirds of the New York Racing Association's Triple Tiara in 2007, capturing the Mother Goose and Coaching Club American Oaks. The colt's last win, was a nose score, in a one-mile race at Aqueduct on April 13th. McLaughlin trains Incognito at the racetrack.
"He's really improved over his last few races," said McLaughlin. "In his last race, he had a troubled trip. He went toward the inside, clipped heels, almost went down, but was able to recover and run an impressive race. He's by A.P.

Minneapolis contains the only major waterfall on the Mississippi River. Saint Anthony Falls provided the hydro-power for the growing city's lumber and flour mills, transforming the former riverfront settlement into the world leader of flour production.
In 1934, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters voted to strike against Minneapolis trucking companies. Amidst much violence, the employers and the union eventually agreed on a contract that recognized the union, reinstated the strikers, and provided seniority and non-discrimination clauses.

Churchill on "A Peculiar Type of Brainy People"
As with so many other things, Churchill was on to the problem of the administrative state and today's presumptuous liberal cosmopolitanism from early on. A 1933 speech offers a perfect description of our Beltway mentality today: The worst difficulties from which we suffer do not come from without. They come from within. They do not come from the cottages of the wage-earners. They come from a peculiar type of brainy »
Climate Then and Now
From volume 4 of Churchill's Marlborough: His Life and Times, about the winter of 1708-9, near the culmination of the long war against Louis XIV: But there now fell upon France a new and frightful misfortune. Since the beginning of December there had been a hard and almost unbroken frost. On January 6, after a brief thaw, it set in again with a bitterness so intense that two days later »
What Real Feminism Looks Like
In these days of such confusion over everything having to do with gender and sex, it is a relief to be able to bring you this public service announcement. From RightWingNews, it's The 20 Hottest Conservative Women in the New Media for 2015. There are a couple of friends of Power Line on the list, and if you haven't kept up with this non-Trumped up pageant, there are helpful links »
Does Global Warming Cause Transgenderism?
Over the years it has been a familiar trope to point to examples of homosexuality in certain non-human species as a way of reinforcing the normality of it in homo sapiens, but why isn't our Latin species name sufficient poof proof? And is "transgenderism" really an ism? Whatever. Anyway, what to make, then, of this story from the current issue of Nature magazine: Sex reversal triggers the rapid transition from »
Why the Trump Bump?
So Donald Trump is surging in the polls, despite the near-universal scorn of the party establishment, the media, and most conservative leaders. Everyone hates The Donald, it seems, except, you know, actual voters. More than a few of our loyal commenters here have pushed back against our criticisms of Trump. The real surprise would be if Trump hadn't surged in the polls. Americans of all parties, but especially conservatives and »
What Obama Could Learn from the EU
What do the Greek crisis and the arms negotiations in Iran have in common? We keep extending the deadline and talking further in deference to the crazy people causing the problem. Only in the case of Greece, the EU has finally reached a point of "No" and meaning it, stopping the socialist centrifuge reducing the Greek economy to its constitutent parts. But the Obama foreign policy titans continue to extend »
The Candidates and Their Reading Lists
Forget Jeb's and Hillary's tax returns. We get it: they both make a lot of money from speeches and such. More interesting is what they read, or claim to read.

In one sense it doesn't much matter whether they actually read the books they list; more revealing is what they chose to disclose. Here's Hillary's »

The Road Ahead for Believers: Not So Gay
I'll have a lot more to say in here and in several other venues about the status of religious liberty and religious faith in post-modern and post-Obergefell America.

Unabomber or Unapapa?
Anyone remember the good old days when you couldn't tell the difference between the Unabomber's manifesto "Industrial Society and Its Future" and Al Gore's Earth in the Balance? There was even an online quiz you could flunk. (Though to remind everyone once again, both owed more to Heidegger.) Well, it's time to rerun that drill with Pope Francis's encyclical on the environment. Which is exactly what Colby Cosh does in »
Today's Greek Chorus
In no particular order: • Remember the famous Fox Butterfield headline in the New York Times: "Crime Keeps on Falling, But Prisons Keep on Filling"?

Ben Wattenberg, RIP
Sad news today of the passing of Ben Wattenberg at the age of 81. Wattenberg, who had been an aide to Lyndon Johnson, was one of the "liberals mugged by reality" who created "neoconservatism." I first read Wattenberg's late 1960s book (co-authored with Richard Scammon) The Real Majority when I was an undergraduate. The Real Majority wasn't exactly the inspiration for Nixon's "silent majority" of putatively conservative voters. Rather, Wattenberg »
The Decadence of the Liberal Mind in One Sentence
As the Greek economy continues its predictable slow motion collapse, one of the early WSJ account of the inevitable bank closures and capital controls imposed yesterday has one of the funniest sentences I've read in a long time, but which is also fully revealing of the decadence of the liberal mind: "How can something like this happen without prior warning?" asked Angeliki Psarianou, a 67-year-old retired public servant, who stood »

Tribes: Vengeance video opt. question...?
I know this might sound like a newb question but its bugging me....
In the "Video Opitions" of T:Ven there's a v2.0 Pixel Shaders on\off switch(off by default)
Anyone know for sure what the default PS of this game is? Does turning PS v2.0 "on" step it up or down...?
Re: Tribes: Vengeance video opt. question...?
The PS2.0 will improve the graphics of course . in the demo i think PS2.0 was used for the water effects to make the reflections looks better (though i'm not quite sure)
Default for DX9.0 cards should be PS2.0
defualt for DX8.0 cards will be PS1.1
Re: Tribes: Vengeance video opt. question...?
IIRC, in the demo the default is "off". Just from gazing around while playing, looks like PS2.0 is being used in water & several textures. Still haven't purchased the final yet though. Did the "smart" guys @ VU finally put out a dedicated server package yet? Still can't believe they released the game w/o it :rolleyes:
Re: Tribes: Vengeance video opt. question...?
wouldn't put it past them trying to scam an extra buck.. ;)
Re: Tribes: Vengeance video opt. question...?
Here's a link to the Shack for the dedicated server...just released.

Greenfield - The New Berlin Eisenhower girls knew they had the pieces to be a good basketball team but were just not sure how to put those pieces together to make a pretty picture.
On Friday night, they found out just how well everything can fit together, as they sprinted past Whitnall, 70-28, at Whitnall High School.
The Lions stormed ahead, forcing 10 turnovers in the first three minutes of the game. The Lion defense helped fuel senior Jenny Weiland, as the speedy forward scored 12 of her 16 points in the first quarter.
When the Falcons looked up, they were facing a soaring deficit of 16 points and had no answers.
"We played about a complete a first quarter as you can play," Eisenhower head coach Gary Schmidt said. "If we missed, we got the rebound. Our defense created some offense and we really ran our offense well."
As good as the Lions' offense was, their defense was just too much to handle. The way Schmidt saw it, they were absolutely relentless.
The Falcons managed just six shot attempts from the floor in the second quarter and made just one of them. Elizabeth Menden and Emily Yahnke both added a free throw as the Falcons finished with just four points in the period.
"We are not in this position very often at Whitnall," Falcons head coach Keith Larson said. "You have to give them a ton of credit. They really are a great team on both offense and defense. They got anything they wanted tonight."
The lone bright spot for the Falcons (8-5, 5-4 Woodland East) was senior Jackie Gruszka, who scored 12 points. The forward did all she could do to keep the game close in the first quarter as she hit a pair of 3-point field goals.
"We just have to try and learn from this game," Larson said. "It is tough but you have to move on and get better day after day."
Eisenhower (11-1, 8-1 Woodland West) continues to get big nights from Weiland and Sammy Kozlowski (14 points), but it was senior Katie Lang that did all the little things that go unnoticed. She finished with eight points while patrolling the paint, forcing Whitnall to try and score from a distance.
"Whitnall changed up their defenses a few times so we had to really focus on communication," Lang said. "We really take pride on our defense every day. We are starting to play well as a team."
Added Schmidt: "I think the best Eisenhower basketball is yet to come; that's our goal."
The Lions next visit Shorewood at 7:30 p.m. Friday, then host Cudahy at 7:30 Jan. 22. Whitnall welcomes Pewaukee at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Wauwatosa West at 7:30 Jan. 22.

Surviving Ramp Check
It doesn't have to be the encounter most pilots dread
If possible, enlist a witness to the process. Any passenger or fellow pilot riding with you can serve as a good witness to the event and may help sway the inspection in your favor just by being there. If you have a tape or digital recorder, there's no regulation that suggests you can't record the entire process. I now carry a small digital recorder in my airplane specifically for that purpose.
Before you proceed with the inspection, ask the inspector why you were singled out for scrutiny. Is this a random check, or did the inspector feel you did something in the pattern or on landing that warranted his attention? If there are two inspectors present, ask if one is a trainee. If so, you should be especially diligent about recording the ramp check.
The FAA inspector may ask to see your logbook, but it's not required to be in the aircraft.
Next, the inspector will probably ask for the airplane's paperwork. The inevitable acronym for the required airplane documents is ARROW. The "A" stands for a legible airworthiness certificate, prominently displayed in plain sight. The first "R" stands for a current registration, preferably the hard card rather than the temporary pink slip.
The second "R" stands for radio license, but the FCC abolished the need for N-registered aircraft to carry an onboard radio license several years ago, so you can forget that one as long as you're operating inside the U.S. (Technically, any foreign government may still ask to see your radio license if you're traveling outside the U.S.)
The "O" represents operating limitations and placards, either posted on the panel or in the aircraft's flight manual. The "W" reminds you that you need to carry the latest weight and balance information for your airplane. Ideally, this should be stapled into the airplane's original flight manual, but most inspectors understand if it's a separate document.
The inspector may ask to see your pilot logbook or those for the airplane to check such things as annual engine and airframe inspection compliance, and the date of the latest VOR, ELT or transponder check, but you're not required to have any of those logs on board the aircraft, so you can politely refuse (although you may be required to produce them later).
He may also ask to check the VFR or IFR navigation chart you used or will be using for your coming flight to make certain it's current. That's not usually a major infraction, but if you're going to the trouble to make certain all other paperwork is up to date, chart currency is a relatively minor detail.

SWG didnt require top end grapics, gave you whole planets to explore, harvest, and have fun on not like the halls that exsist in TOR. SWG let me be the pilot in space with TOR you dont get that pilot feeling because your a bird on a wire. The worst part of this situation is the idiots at Disney inked a long-term contract with EA to develope star wars games. I personaly would have gone with Sony because all EAsy will do is ruin the franchise. Anybody play warhammer online anymore? Remember Earth & Beyond? EA should stick to battlefield and the sims and leave the MMO's alone.

Well it did have a chance for a second life (or possibly half-life), with the change to ftp.
But, as sure as the sun comes up, you just knew they would somehow not get it right.
I mean, restricted to one quickbar? (I know it has subsequently been increased after the mass of complaints), but even to launch ftp with this type of game penalizing restriction shows incredible naivety.
Then we get onto the idea of penalizing ftp xp. This, above everything, shows they simply have not grasped the ftp idea at all.
Their whole ftp ethos is based on trying to get people to sub. Every quest reward throws it in your face that you are being penalized for not subbing. EA - the sub model didn't work first time, in fact it failed utterly.
A good ftp model can do wonders for a game, there are good examples out there. I'll quote Rift as one. But EA, you are rapidly running out of time with yours.
The problem is that I cannot see effective change happening due to the entrenched mindset that appears to be in place.
A ftp model should actually encourage players to the game and retain their ftp status. (There will always be people who continue to sub, these guys are the loyal core - you need to look after them with good expansions and with extra benefits).
But you should also have a ftp model that works by itself and retains people over time. Not as an everything for free basis - that would guarantee a shelf life of a month or so. Instant gratification doesn't work long term.
So you would like income from these players - make cash shop items desirable, not as solutions to enforced game impacting penalties, but as wanted items in their own right.
But there is one thing EA about ftp players which you have just not comprehended - the mmo sector is currently filled with high profile ftp games. If yours is seen as unduly restrictive, it takes only the download time for players to move to one which they see as fairer - and once again you have lost potential income from this game.

A Story Driven MMO will never be a succesful MMO, I really hope this is the last one (although I fear ESO will be next)
No kidding, I almost broke my Space Bar of my new keyboard due to the amount of time I had to skip boring Cinematic dialogues.............
Also they understimated the importance of Space Combat in the game.
They lost the chance of making Space Combat something unique, which alone could have saved this game (they are still in time).
But instead they chose to keep it as if it was an ancient 1980's Atari Shoot'em Up..................

it will recover just fine and it will do it without the following:
SWG nostalgia = this isn't SWG and it isn't meant to be. People looking to reproduce SWG should have learned how to do some research first and they would have seen that it wasn't going to a direct successor.
f2p haters = f2p is the newest form of game "accessibility" and that gets more people into the game than before. while it may not directly increase subs, it does increase revenue and it is good for any game.
EA haters = Every company has had problems, but it is not evident in all games produced by a publisher. Some games are great even when produced by EA.
Storyline haters = Remember this is a mmoRPG and the story driven elements are there to reproduce the standard GM. You know the guy/girl who sat behind the screen rolling hidden dice and describing the NPC actions. Many people LOVE the storyline and are there for just that. I'm sorry that some of you hated it, in which case the game wasn't for you
All in all NOT every game is for everyone. if the game is a failure in your eyes because of one or more aspects then great, you hate the game, shove off and let those who like it enjoy it. Just because I do not like Hot Dogs does not mean that You shouldn't eat them. It doesn't mean that Oscar Meyer should stop producing them because the salt content does not sit right with many people. In addition I'm not going around to the various forums and proclaim how horrible you are because you like Hot Dogs.SWTOR is going to get along just fine, hate just doesn't win these days.

SWToR's biggest problem (aside from very little to do "end game" except roll another character) was that too many people played it who wanted something else.
They then complained that the game that advertised itself as one thing wasn't the thing it never advertised itself to be.
Once again, players fault.

An interesting viewpoint, and I agree that some players will have expected one thing and got another. Personally I loved the story lines. Bought the collectors edition at original launch and leveled an Inq. At the time there wasn't much going on end game so it fizzled out for me.
Whilst there would have been a percentage of players who left due to incorrect assumptions about the game, I'm sure this wasn't the only reason.
A previous post assures that the game will be fine. I'm not a hater, in fact I want this to turn around and succeed. My recent post is about relaxing some of the ftp restrictions to attract more people. So in answer to that post - I hope so, I hope EA will change some things and grow the population.
But my recent return has only experienced sparsely populated zones, long waits for Heroics - (I'm currently leveling an operative healer).
At the risk of repeating myself - I suggest they need to adjust the ftp model, (particularly some progression penalizing features), which doesn't fare well compared to their competition. At the moment this appears be solely aimed at getting people to sub, rather than having a standalone ftp model that players can stick with. imho anyway

I don't understand your logic............if a product don't sell that means that it isn't good enough, nothing to do with the customer.
Talking about what I expected from SWTOR, I expected KOTOR Online, not a real MMO, so my expectations weren't so high.
Of course I was expecting to find a beefy story Driven gameplay, but I thought it was on par with KOTOR.
The problem was that not only SWTOR didn't feel like a MMO (as expected) but the Storytelling wasn't as good as predicted.
That's why SWTOR is such a disappointment no matter which way you look at it.

1. The amount of people with SWG nostalgia is grossly overestimated. That game had barely any subs when they game went down and there are multiple EMU's up for them to play. Claiming SWTOR did poorly, or is continuing to do poorly because a small subset of people disliked it (a claim that you have no evidence to back up, btw) is misleading and false.
2. F2P sucks, but the reason why people are complaining about this F2P model is because it is one of the worst around. TERA, RIFT, Planetside2 and several other games that are F2P are far more friendly to non-subscribers. It leaves a bad first impression. F2P's are potential customers, and SWTOR treats them like garbage. (not that they treat the subs much better, but regardless) Further, most of the content they have been releasing was datamined back in Feb of 2012. All that they are doing is slowly releasing pregenerated content while spending the lions share of development time reskinning armor for the CM.
3. EA hate is such a copout. "People hate this game because EA is behind it!" Meanwhile, Madden and other EA titles fly off the shelves. Fact of the matter is, if a game is good people don't care who produces it, they still buy it. 2.4 million people bought this game at launch. Did they decide they suddenly hated EA after the fact? I doubt it.
4. "Storyline Haters" yea, no. People didn't hate the storylines, people hated how you had to repeat 90% of the voiceover content per side to see them. Sorry, I'm not going to trudge through the same planetary quests over and over just to see the class specific quests.
At some point, you and the rest of the people left playing the game need to accept that the game did poorly because at its best, its a rushed, buggy, mediocre co-op game on a crap engine that lacks many fundamental MMO features. You can make excuses all day long, but that doesn't change the fact that the game has one of the best IP's and a huge budget yet tanked so hard that within 6 months of release they lost over 75% of their userbase.

Per their statement, they totally underestimated how fast the customers would devour their content. Given the amount of money spent on voice-overs and cut-scenes, they couldn't make enough content and had to skimp on important stuff like game engine performance. Once you went through the content (didn't take long), you realized that it was sorely lacking in long-term fun. By comparison, look at games like EvE or DAOC that focused a lot of their efforts on end-game action rather than the quests. Those game are/were huge successes relative to their budgets. SWTOR is probably the biggest financial failure ever in MMO gaming because it spent money on things customers didn't want.
So, it's the customer's fault that they didn't like watching cut scenes? Maybe customers knew cut-scenes and story were a major part of the game, but surely they expected other things as well like open-world PvP, a group finder, a space game more than just an arcade version and a game engine that wouldn't crap out at more than 15-20 people on the screen. Seems to me that when a game spends $250 million to create a well known IP such as Star Wars, a few more things should be expected.
The good news is that it took a massive financial failure like SWTOR to have developers re-think what customers wanted. SWTOR will be the last high profile MMO game that devotes most of its resources to a story. Story based RPG games will continue in a single-player mode game, but never again in an MMO.

i dont think more endgame content would have helped that much,,most casuals dont do that stuff
more levelling paths , on the other hand, would have made the actual GAME feel less grindy
but . i guess , its also more expensive , than end game content

I would love to see open world space like in SWG.
If SWTOR ever put in space in their game I think you would see a lot of people come back. But with Star Citizen around the corner and they will have space combat covered. I think SWTOR having space is over.
So no I don't think SWTOR will com back. I think they will hover around the same amount of players for a long time. The people playing SWTOR are all star wars fans. They will not leave to a new game.

Loading screens, why no one mentions LOADING SCREENS!
They take from 30 seconds to 2 minutes from your life everytime the game loads the world. And when you alt+tab? Loading screen for 15-20 seconds. And this is on i7-4770K Haswell with RAID0 SSD in SATAIII, it was worse on i7-860 legacy HD SATAII and I don't even want to know what it is on inferior systems.
I did install the game yesterday, just to see if it had gotten any better. It had, it didn't lag like it used to. But it loaded, it wasn't loaded but it loaded. What does it load anyway?
The game tanked Bioware and people lost their jobs. No it will never recover to what it was. The only hope is to mitigate their losses and get as much money as they can.

Hey I'm Katherine but you can call me kat. I am 17 and starting my freshman year of college. I live in California, like, 45 min. east if LA. I love all john green books, or almost any book in general. I don't really know what else to say, but I'm kinda new to the nerdighters and I kinda really wanna make some really awesome nerdfighter friends!
captain schmitz, reporting for duty.
Hey, I'm new, I should introduce myself.. I'm Camille and I'm 16, going to be a junior (yay! upperclassman). I'm not really sure what else I'm supposed to say... I live in Michigan, in a really small hick town, and I hate it here. The only thing that keeps me sane is my small group of friends and graphic art. I like to pretend that I'm good at the whole art thing. So that's me!
Hi, I'm Nathan and I am 19, hopefully I can still be a part of this group considering that I am in my last year of teendom. If anyone objects to my presence then you will succeed in making me feel like an old man and I will yell at you to "Get off my lawn!" In any case, I am a sophomore in college and, again, my last year of being a technical teen :( I love to read John Green books much like 99% of the members on nerdfighters and I love to read classical literature.
Hi, I'm Maggie and I live in the Wellington Region, New Zealand. I like reading. A lot. I first saw vlogbrothers after reading TFiOS, and looked up John, and that led me to Nerdfighteria. I like Eragon, Harry Potter, Star Wars, anything by Rick Riordan, I could go on.....I'm homeschooled, so I don't really do much extra-curricular stuff, but I like Shakespeare, at the moment I'm being Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing. I'm free to chat most days, so message me via Nerdfighters and i'll reply as soon as I can. I'm a massive fan girl, so don't ask me about harry potter or you'll be smothered in quotes! Have a nice day and DFTBA!
Hi, I'm David. I'm a guy from Washington. I like to write my own stories and fanfic, I also like to sing. I'm going into my senior year of high school; which I've been looking forward to for quite some time. It would be great to have some friends.
Hi! My name is Natalie and i live in Illiois, USA. I love to read and play volleyball. i am going to be a freshman in high school this year, so if anyone has any advice on how to make friends (it must be noted that i am extremely shy) feel free to give me advice!
Hi! I'm Yulia. I live in Canada, Alberta to be more specific. I love animals. I love books, but I'm kind of stuck in one genre, the sci-fi and fantasy one. If anyone has any good recommendations of books in or outside of that genre, that would be great. Just message me about that or about anything!

Re: ** iPhone 4 mini-review **
I just got my iphone 4 yesterday and I love it alot. I had the original iphone and 3g model. The latest model is great in alot of ways. First the screen is beauitful, secondly the phone is super first compared to my 3g model. But I have experienced the issue with holding left corner of the phone causing calls to drop. And I was really looking forward to this model when I heard that apple was trying to improve drop call issues but I am still dropping calls the same as before. I will contact AT&T tomorrow morning to report the issue. But besides that I am in love again with my iphone.

Press release from Marketwire
Detour Gold Announces Updated Open Pit Mine Production Plan For Its Detour Lake Gold Project in Ontario
Tuesday, September 04, 2012
Detour Gold Announces Updated Open Pit Mine Production Plan For Its Detour Lake Gold Project in Ontario08:00 EDT Tuesday, September 04, 2012TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Sept. 4, 2012) -Detour Gold Corporation (TSX:DGC) ("Detour Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce an updated open pit mine production plan for its 100% owned Detour Lake gold mine in northeastern Ontario. The updated mine production plan supports a 21.5-year operating life with the current mineral reserve of 15.6 million ounces of gold (470 million tonnes grading 1.03 g/t Au). Project construction is progressing very well, having reached the 87% completion mark at the end of August 2012. Detour Lake remains on budget and on schedule for gold production to start in the first quarter of 2013. All figures are in Canadian dollars except where noted.A National Instrument 43‐101 ("NI 43‐101") technical report for the updated mine plan will be filed within 45 days on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and on the Company's website (www.detourgold.com). Highlights Proven and probable open pit reserves of 15.6 millionounces contained gold Reduced strip ratio (waste to ore) to 3.7:121.5 years life of mine (LOM) at mill throughput ranging from 55,000 to 61,000 tpd Average annual gold production of approximately 657,000 ouncesAverage LOM cash operating costs of $710/oz and total cash costs of $749/oz2013 gold production forecast between 350,000 and 400,000 ouncesOn schedule to start gold production in Q1 2013"We are very pleased with this updated life of mine production plan and the detailed work we have done. Based on a production startup of January 2013 and assuming commercial production is achieved in July, the mine is expected to produce up to 400,000 ounces of gold in 2013," commented Gerald Panneton, President and CEO of Detour Gold. "I would like to take this occasion to thank the entire Detour Gold team for their dedication and hard work. Our team is ready to start commissioning in the fourth quarter, which will be followed by the commencement of operations. We have succeeded in recruiting a very talented group of individuals who are playing an integral role in achieving our near-term objective of becoming a leading mid-tier gold producer and a premier investment opportunity. Over the first three years of operation including 2013, we estimate the project to generate over a $1 billion of operational cash flow. With average annual gold production projected at 657,000 ounces, the Detour Lake mine will be among the largest gold operations in North America."

The LOM waste to ore ratio is estimated at 3.7 to 1. The Company is planning to stockpile material grading between 0.3 to 0.5 g/t over the life of mine (approximately 240 Mt averaging 0.39 g/t Au), which could potentially be processed during the LOM if the Company proceeds with an expansion of the processing plant facilities.

The Company has started its mining activities in this wide mineralized zone (50 to 150 metres wide), with a lower grade (0.8 to 0.9 g/t) than the average grade of the mineral reserves, because it is wider and easier to provide ore production in the ramp up year of the mine to sustain the mine throughput. The plan is to stockpile 2.3 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 0.85 g/t by year-end 2012. This ore will be available if commissioning proceeds ahead of schedule. At the end of August 2012, the Company had mined over 14 million tonnes of material. Conventional open pit mining methods will be used to mine the Detour Lake deposit utilizing an initial fleet of 20 haul trucks (CAT 795F - 320 tonnes), 2 hydraulic shovels (CAT6060 - 28/34m3), 2 electric rope shovels (CAT7495 - 48m3), 9 drills and various ancillary equipment to support the mining operation. The fleet will ramp up to 41 at the peak of the mine operation. The open pit design incorporates 12 metre high benches with a 35 metre wide main haul road at a maximum grade of 10%. Processing Plant - Two independent grinding linesThe processing plant under construction is a conventional gravity, cyanidation and carbon-in-pulp facility initially operating at 55,000 tpd and ramping-up to 61,000 tpd in 2015. The assumed availability of the plant is 92% for the first few years and ramping up to 94% in year 3. The grinding circuit consists of two parallel lines, each having one twin pinion semi-autogenous (SAG) mill (36'X20') and one twin pinion ball mill (26'X40.5'). These four mills are all equipped with a pair of 7,500 kW variable speed drive motors. The crushing capacity is enhanced with inclusion of a larger gyratory crusher (60"X113" HD equipped with 1,000 kW) and the addition of a secondary crushing circuit (2X750 kW crushers). This system is complemented with additional crushing capacity in the pebble crushing circuit (2X750 kW crushers). The overall gold recovery is estimated at 91.0% with silver recovery estimated at 48%. Operating CostsCash operating costs over the LOM are projected to average $710/oz. Total cash costs (after royalty and silver credits) are anticipated to average $749/oz. The updated cash operating costs are based on current market prices for consumables and all other mine benchmarking such as current costs at the Project site. The following assumptions have been made: electricity - $0.065/kWhr and diesel fuel - $0.92/litre.$/t milled$/t mined$/ozAverage mining costs11.652.49388Processing cost7.83-260General and administration1.86-62Total cash operating costs (LOM)21.34-710Royalty (2%) and other1.26-42Refining charges0.124Silver credit(0.20)-(7)Total cash costs (LOM)22.52-749Commercial ProductionThe Company plans to commence gold production in January 2013 starting with one grinding line (1 SAG + 1 ball mill). Commercial production is expected to be declared on the first day of the calendar month following the mine having operated for a period of 60 consecutive days at an average of 75% or more of the designed production capacity (55,000 tpd x 75% = 41,250 tpd). Pre-commercial gold production is estimated at approximately 144,000 ounces and commercial gold production is estimated at approximately 250,000 ounces (excluding the 12,715 ounces locked in the circuit load). 2013 GuidanceManagement's guidance is as follows:Gold production ranging between 350,000 and 400,000 ounces of gold Total cash costs of between $800/oz and $900/oz (to be reported after commercial production is declared) Estimated 2013 sustaining capital of approximately $180 million, mainly for construction of the second cell of the tailings facilities and additional mining fleet costs Capital Costs UpdateThe estimated pre-production capital costs of $1.45 billion remain unchanged. As of July 31, 2012, the Company had spent $1.07 billion and had approximately $462 million in cash and short-term investments, sufficient to fully finance the remaining project expenditures ($380 million). As part of our risk management strategy, the Company is in the process of obtaining a $100 million secured credit facility to provide additional financial flexibility and working capital during the initial mine ramp-up period. As well, the Company is putting in place a $50 million credit facility that will allow its letters of credit to be uncollateralized.Sustaining capital expenditures over the operation's mine life are estimated at $1.2 billion.The economic cash flow model is based on a gold price of US$1,600/oz in 2013, US$1,500/oz in 2014, US$1,400/oz in 2015 and then decreasing to US$1,200/oz after 2015, resulting in estimated undiscounted pre-tax operating LOM cash flow of US$4.3 billion and after capital and taxes net cash flow of US$3.0 billion.Qualified Persons A NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report will be filed on the Company's website and on SEDAR within 45 days. The report is being prepared by leading independent industry consultants, all Qualified Persons (QP) under National Instrument 43-101, with the collaboration of the Detour Gold technical group.

Specifically, this press release contains forward-looking statements regarding reserve and resource estimates, ore grade, the expected mine life, anticipated gold production, gold recovery, the commencement of production, operating costs, and capital costs. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are beyond Detour Gold's ability to predict or control and may cause Detour Gold's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any of its future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and other factors include, but are not limited to, gold price volatility, changes in debt and equity markets, the uncertainties involved in interpreting geological data, increases in costs, environmental compliance and changes in environmental legislation and regulation, interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations, general economic conditions and other risks involved in the gold exploration and development industry, as well as those risk factors discussed in the section entitled "Description of Business - Risk Factors" in Detour Gold's 2009 annual information form. Such forward-looking statements are also based on a number of assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about the following: the availability of financing for exploration and development activities; the estimated timeline for the development of the Detour Lake gold project; the supply and demand for, and the level and volatility of the price of, gold; the accuracy of reserve and resource estimates and the assumptions on which the reserve and resource estimates are based; the receipt of necessary permits; market competition; ongoing relations with employees and impacted communities; and general business and economic conditions. In addition, the feasibility study uses an estimate of gold price based on an approximate three-year average. The operating and capital costs in the feasibility study were developed to be reasonable estimates within industry benchmarks. There is no certainty that the results of the feasibility study will ever be realized. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties involved in forward-looking statements relating to the feasibility study materialize, or should the assumptions underlying the feasibility study prove incorrect, actual results of the feasibility study may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Detour Gold undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. Information Concerning Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources The mineral reserve and resource estimates reported in this press release were prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"), as required by Canadian securities regulatory authorities. For United States reporting purposes, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") applies different standards in order to classify mineralization as a reserve. In particular, while the terms "measured," "indicated" and "inferred" mineral resources are required pursuant to NI 43-101, the SEC does not recognize such terms. Canadian standards differ significantly from the requirements of the SEC. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories constitute or will ever be converted into reserves. In addition, "inferred" mineral resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility.

1 Hold the peppers over a flame until the skin blackens and wrinkles, then peel it off. Cut the peppers in two, remove the seeds and white fiber and slice peppers thinly and evenly. Wipe the slices.
2 Heat the oil in a large pan on gentle heat.
3 Meanwhile, peel and chop the garlic and onions. Put them into the hot oil and brown, stirring with a wooden spoon, over low heat. Then add the bay leaves and sliced peppers. Cook slowly, stirring from time to time, for 15 minutes.
4 Meanwhile, boil water in a pot.
5 Immerse the tomatoes for 30 seconds in this boiling water, then drain, put into cold water and then peel them. Cut them in quarters and remove the seeds.
6 Add the tomatoes to the peppers, with salt and pepper. Stir, then cover and leave to stew slowly for 30 minutes.
7 Three or four minutes before the cooking is completed, add the vinegar to the vegetable mixture. Increase the heat, and cook until the liquid reduces and thickens, stirring all the time so that the peregrinate does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
8 Pour the mixture into a salad bowl and leave to cool completely before serving.
