There's been no illusions from the get go that this will be a niche market. A lot of people are craving a game like this vehemently, and will be a diehard group of playerse vs the very casual modern mmo market you see elsewhere. The big game publishers/devs to this point haven't tried something as bold as this, BECAUSE they know its a niche. They all have it in their head they have to make these huge budget giant themepark mmos, that leave those of us that want features like this sitting on the side sighing time and time again with reskinned mmo clone after mmo clone come out. Lots of letdowns over the years in that regard. They're thinking revues/profits, and want the biggest playerbases possible (either for more micro transactions in a f2p/b2p model, or more subs in a sub model)
People need to realize, and have the same epiphany we did, that big player numbers doesn't necessarily = good, especially considering the subjective nature of what different players consider good.
Will CU be perfect? No nothing ever is. Will it still be full of people with different opinions that debate how things should be done? of course, we're all human after all, and that's human nature.
They do have the cojones though to flat out challenge some of the modern mmorpg tropes, and flat out say we're going to do something different/sometimes contrary to what all the big game publishers/devs say is the way everyone should do it now.
I think that's the source of a lot of the hate on CU. It's challenging what all these themepark & big money publishers have been trying to establish as the only way to do things. People don't want their worldview challenged. =)
I do personally feel like these big game publishers/devs have abandoned the players that helped get the mmorpg genre off the ground in the first place in late 90's and early 2000's. They want more players, and don't mind dropping the mmo vets in the dust to get that done. We've been kind of abandoned. Heck I'm playing EVE now, and leaving all the themepark mmo's for the kiddies.

I would like to personally thank the author for letting me that the gaming world has 'moved on'. Yes, I am aware of that. Painfully, excruciatingly all too aware. The MMORPG genre has 'moved on' to:
The list of trite bullshit offered by the developers that have 'moved on' goes on and on and on. And with each iteration, the quality of both game and player have suffered tremendously for it.
The reality of it is, the 'old-school DAoC' community has never died, and it has never gone away. It is as vibrant as it ever was, and you can witness that just by the amount of community fan-sites, message boards, and even by the growing community of backers being developed on the Kickstarter page itself.
Implying that having that sense of community and Realm Pride again is a pipe dream because the genre has 'moved on' is pedantic at best. It isn't that these things do not or can not exisit again in the genre, it is that the genre has spent the last 10 years taking away the tools that the community used to foster that Realm Pride by giving us the trash of today's MMORPGs I listed above.
I'm glad you enjoyed DAoC's PvE, however, it seems that by admittedly focusing on that aspect of the game and staying off of the 'front-lines' you missed a lot of what DAoC offered while still managing to have fun and feel that you were contributing. Not many of today's MMOs can provide you with that. They haven't come close.
This is not DAoC. This is not DAoC 2. This is a place where a developer finally has the balls to let go of my hand while I cross the road with a group of my like-minded friends. It just so happens that the developer who introduced us to Realm Pride and RvR is the developer who is potentially offering all of us old-fucks an MMO home again - and thank God.

Secondly the combat if the core really needs to be amazingly fun eg Chivalry viseral fun or otherwise experience a Medieval + supernatural magic melange of blood-splattery?!

Both of these over-inflated EGO trippers had a huge studio under their bumbs, plenty of great talent at their finger tips and over 40 million US dollars in funding and more than enough time (5+ years)!
They had all the ingredients they needed to make a great game! (Warhammer Online and Tabula Rasa) and screwed it up BIG TIME!
Same thing with Bioware and SW:TOR! They had the largest budget ever! They had a huge amount of talent at their disposal! They had plenty of time (5+ years)! And screwed up BIG TIME!
Publishers, in this case EA and NCSoft, had nothing to do with these debacles, as they gave them enough money and enough time to deliver the product.
It's not like they had to rush it to market within 2 years, like ATARI forced Cryptic to with CO and STO.
So please explain to me why this time it would be any different with Mr. Jacobs and Mr.Garriott?
I cannot believe how short of memory people have these days.
I know it's always easy to portray publishers as the BIG BAD WOLF these days. And in case of EA it's sadly often true lately!
But for the above, EA and NCSoft were sertainly not to blame. Sorry, but that is just very naive.

But as you are looking and posting here anyway. I am sertainly not the only one thinking about this.

MJ wanted 5-6 years to make Warhammer, as said, he barely had 3. So don't blame him if you don't like War.
As for Richard Garriot, I agree, but it's not all his fault, RG hasn't made a game since the 1988. SInce then he's been an "Executive Producer" and not involved in the Office at all.
JeroKane. MJ left EA. He decided to, he wasn't fired, or made to or anything. He left a comfy job at EA because he didn't like it there. Most would NOT do that. Comfy job, stock options, good pay, part of one of the largest game companies in the world. But his own integrity made him leave it and found CSE. You can see articles from EA, expressing how both EA & Mythic, his company, were utterly shocked by his departure.
So yes, DAOC was awesome. Warhamemr:AoC was pretty cool, but it felt rushed, and well, that's EA. EA even admits they rushed it, so that's not MJ just spouting bull, EA themselves said they rushed it.
I'm not even a MJ fanboy or anything - I didn't really play DAoC, although I was aware of it, and a find of it's systems, but I was to young to play it during it's prime, my father wouldn't swing for a monthly fee(I was 11-12). So I don't have rose tinted goggles about that.
I tried Warhammer and thought it was pretty neat, but not my type of game either. So I'm not a fanboy of that. As you can see, I'm not fanboy of any of MJ's games.
Yet CU, from the second I read his Foundation Principles, MJ had me in his hands. You could call it pandering, fair to, really, but he knew exactly what I wanted in a game, almost in my exact words, and we never had talked. Har har, I posted tem to all my friends and they were like "Is this guy inside my head?!"
Also, I hate SWTOR and yeah, no doubti t was gonna flop, but don't go lying to yourself that they had 5+ years. SWTOR was made in less than 3, according to BioWare. Of course, they could be lying, but who knows?
In response to the new post. He DID want to do three factions. This was publically stated in previews of Warhammer, while in development. EA told him to release the game now and he could do it in a later expansion. HE was literally not allowed to put another faction in, as it was "not in the budget", and had to be relaesed in 2008, not when MJ wanted it.
YOu think Publishers don't restrict Developers? THey do. Publishers foot the bill. So Developers are SLAVES to Publishers. Literally. Do you think big name developers using KS lately is a fad, or them trying to be cool? Look at all the ones like Wasteland, Star Citizen, Torment, ect, they ALL went this route because Publishers would restrict them and their ideas.
With KS, they can make the game they want, their way. They will be held responsible if it sucks or fails, so if CU fails, then yes, you can totally rag on MJ. However, until then, please inform yourself.

As a backer of CU, I know perfectly well that it won't be as good as DAOC. Nothing ever will. But DAoC isn't the only MJ game I have enjoyed, I also loved Warhammer. Yes, Warhammer sucked at release. I quit in frustration just like everyone else. As a DAOC fan my disappointment was beyond words. However, when I went back a year or so later after the game was playable, it became one of my favorite games of all time. Warhammer gets such a bad rap in this community, yet it became a great game. Public questing was invented, realm pride was re-invented, the scenarios are better than GW2 sPvP, classes were designed around PvP and not PvE, etc. So for me that's TWO great MMO's that MJ has put out. I would be a fool not to push for CU.

First, no worries. You admitted your mistake (5 vs 3) and I will happily reciprocate (within my usual "don't throw people under the bus").
Originally WAR did have a three-faction system in my vision document. We changed that to two factions due to certain issues (financial being one of them). It was a terrible mistake and since I was the head of the studio at that time, no matter what the reasons, I accept responsibility for that one. If I could take it back, I would but please know it wasn't due to "Three faction RvR, unthinkable!" :)
Thanks again for being willing to listen.

You remember the most recent "failures". And if you look closely, there are reasons.
Do you remember the plans for Warhammer before they were bought out by EA? 3 factions (Just confirmed above), more capital cities to invade, etc.?
Do you remember what TR was supposed to be before Destination Games was bought out by NCSoft? Fantasy/Cyberpunk kinda game before it became a military alien invasion game in an attempt to appease eastern and western audiences?
Here are some more memory questions:
Do you remember (Or have ever played) the original Ultimas or UO?
Do you remember any of other games prior to and including DAoC?
When a big company shows up at your doorstep with untold millions of dollars and all the resources you could ever imagine to do what you do best, I challange you to turn them down.
RG and MJ didn't. And they paid dearly for it.
I remember myself going straight to the IGN forums when Mythic was bought out, screaming at the top of my lungs what a mistake it was, that no matter what the executives who are now signing your checks tell you, you are going to be doing EXACTLY what they tell you to. And so it came to pass.
The problem with that is, the executives, the board members, the bean counters.. They're not developers. They have no idea what is involved, or how to think about the problems and communities that surround these games, these worlds, that are built. The games these bigger companies bought never became the games they were designed to be because all the could see was the numbers, and when you only focus on what to do with your prize money, you will more often that not stumble when you actually run the race. They only knew what they COULD make - They had no idea about what was involved in getting there. These two particular companies, it seems, still don't.
I have funded both MJ and RG's newest projects, and I do not, and will not forget anything of their past. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that their desire to make their fortunes blinded them to the reality of what was going to happen. Whether or not they knew it is up for debate, but they are only human, and I can't say I wouldn't have done the same.
For me, personally, this is their last chance. I enjoyed both of their previous works prior to their failures, and I am operating on the premise that, free of all the factors that I believe held them back (Corporate beauracracy, management hell, red tape a plenty), they will be able to do what they used to do best.
They're hungry to prove it. They have to be. And for that, I'll give them their shot.
If these get fully funded (In RG's case, overfunded) and still fail? Then there is no more possible excuse.
But don't assume anyone has forgotten anything. Some of us are quite aware of what was, what is, and most importantly, what could be again... COULD.

How is it going to be any different now?
Both him and Garriott estimate to release the game in three years from now.
So basically same development time, but far less funding and thus a lot less people to work with.
Sure this time they do not have publisher breathing down their neck and call harsh deadlines.
But are we as players any different?
With the current oversaturated MMO market, players have become far more ruthless then publishers.
If he is going to delay the game to say.... 2018, instead of the 2015 / 2016 estimate.... he will get the wrath of his playerbase, which is far worse and more devestating than a publisher calling your deadline.
Both he and mr. Garriott will sooner than later find out, that Publishers are (in most cases) far more reasonable than the average gamer nowadays. lol.

More reasonable than gamers, sure...but he doesn't have a legal requirement to listen to us, unlike publishers.
As for different now? HE doesn't have a ton of PvE content to make, or balance for. That shaves off a HUGE amount of time. Seriously. 3 years is plenty of time when they don't have to worry about PvE, balancing for PVP & PvE, loot drops, story, cutscenes, quests, all that, ectera.

People are backing this game thinking it will being back those feelings of those days when MMO's were new and you really had no idea what to expect. You can re-create a game but you cannot re-create the feeling you had back then and 90% of backers are doing so thnking this game will re-create the feeling... it wont.

There is a difference between a pve game and a pvp game in the terms of development.Do you know how long it takes to write all those encounters and mobs? All they have to do is focus on pvp....
NO ai is needed really except basic forms of the depths, which may or may not even be included in the game. So all they need to focus on is making the combat good, and making a reason for conflict. The COMMUNITY will make the content... eg... building. And they will build their cities, they will have them torn down, they will need to rebuild. etc.. etc...

I think this is partly true, but there is still people wanting something that's not being delivered to them, which is why they are backing this project. I guess there is a healthy amount of older people who want something different. If MJ was just going to give us the same BS that we've already seen, i wouldn't be interested. I want RVR DONE RIGHT.... That's it DONE RIGHT! Will CU do it right? Maybe.
Did guild wars 2 do RvR right ?
Has anything you've seen from TESO shown you they are doing RvR right?
The genre is dyinh because of clones :( A breath of fresh air that doesn't do handholding is needed. I think MJ wants to do that, will he ? We'll know in a few years... hopefully . If not? Do you honestly think he will ever be able to get support again? This is all or nothing for Mark.I think he knows that.

How are people going to build buildings and cities then? Just out of thin Air?
What's the point of playing / PVP'ing in a persistent world, when there is no economy / no resources to fight over?
You see where I am trying to get at?
You don't necessarily have to have PVE content in form of missions/quests, dungeons, raids, etc.
But you still have to create a believing living virtial persisten world people can feel immersed in. And that requires NPC's (mobs, NPC's, whatever) and AI.
And if you want to have meaningfull PVP in form of Sieging cities. It would make sense those cities require resources to build and thus gives PVP a secondary objective to fight over: resources and thus also a form of crafting system.
We are maybe derailing a bit, but there is a reason why EVE Online has been so popular over the years tho.
Tho it never reached the heights it could have, due to the missing "avatar" people can feel connected to, instead of just a ship that can be blown up and replaced every time.
If someone made an EVE Online in fantasy setting with "real" avatars..... oh boy oh boy! :-)

First of all, i want to regard MJs active participation in this discussion. Not many developers would do that, because of the dirt that could get thrown on you. Imho, this shows his passion for the project and that alone gives me a positive feeling.
The mistakes made in the past are often mentioned, but what counts is, that those mistakes do not repeat and that there is an open ear, how to solve the problems in future. That open ear is given at least.
The big Problem in WAR was the PVP endgame, where too many compromises were made, to please dedicated players and casuals. In the end, both were pissed. In my opinion, EA hat a big part here.
For the pure PvP in WAR... speaking of mechanics and gameplay, i had really a lot of fun here.
And lastly for the F2P model. OOhh, i am a bit prejudiced here. There are of course some good and "honest" F2P titles.
But the generel problem of the F2P model is that the goal of the gamedesign is no longer the fun of the players, but to artificially create demands!
Its about earning money and about psychology. How to make ppl (and even worse kids) to spend small amounts of cash.
Ok, i could really run amok here... but as i said, there are still some "honest" ppl outside there, that still give you a good gaming experience.

In a perfect world. i wish the same, but there won't be any FFA pvp.. Well at least MJ said not right away, but it's always open as a maybe, that alone gets me excited, a lot of people thought how much andred/mordred were failures of a server. Some of my best DAOC memories are from those 2 servers. Same with the FFA servers in AOC and UO etc .. etc.. Maybe world of darkness or whatever it is will be that game, but not fantasy... I might not get FFA pvp. IF MJ is smart(my opinion of course), he looks at EvE successes and tries to incorporate them and his own new ideas

Gritt Ryder had a double double and the Western Nebraska Community College women's basketball team converted 33 of 51 free throws in staying unbeaten in the South Sub-Region with a 69-52 win over Eastern Wyoming College Tuesday night at Cougar Palace.
Ryder poured in 24 points and pulled down 12 rebounds, but it was her sizzling free throw shooting that was evident. Ryder converted 11 of 14 free throws. Ashley Stevens also had another top night, finishing with 18 points.
The win moved the Cougars to 5-0 in the sub-region while Eastern Wyoming falls to 4-3. The winner of the sub-region hosts the regional tournament in March.
But, more importantly, what helped the Cougars was their sizzling shooting from the charity stripe especially in the first half. The Cougars ran out to a 29-19 halftime lead thanks to connecting on 17 of 25 free throws.
Shalisa Moffit, who had a near double-double on the night of nine points and seven rebounds, said they executed well and made their free throws.
"As a team, we had more heart and rebounded well," Moffit said. "It was pretty physical out there and there was a lot of fouling. The free throw shooting was a huge factor."
To say the least free throws and fouls made a difference in the game. The two teams combined for 48 fouls and 48 of 81 shooting. Field goal shooting also played a part in the contest. The Cougars shot just 20 percent in the first half and 29 percent for the game.
The Lancers were 28 percent in the first half and 30 percent for the game. EWC also connected on five 3-pointers, while WNCC had just two both coming with under four minutes to play in the game.
Just like Moffit said, rebounding also played a big factor in the Cougars' win. WNCC out-rebounded the Lancers 53-42. Ryder led the way with 12 boards followed by Moffit and Ashley Stevens with seven each.
Eastern Wyoming, however, hung tough with the Cougars and actually held an 18-13 lead after a bucket by Jeileen Mas with about four minutes to play in the opening half. The Cougars came back and out-scored the Lancers 16-1 over the final four minutes and most of the damage was down at the free throw line where they went 11 of 12 during that stretch before Ashley Stevens hit the teams' first field goal in over four minutes. WNCC led 29-19 at halftime.
The second half saw the Cougars jump out to a 43-27 lead before Eastern Wyoming ran off eight straight to cut the deficit to 43-35 with 10 minutes to play. WNCC came back and went on an 18-6 run to grab a 61-41 lead on a Moffit 3-pointer. Moffit's trey with five minutes to play was the Cougars' first of the game.
WNCC put just two in double figures, led by Ryder's 24 points. Stevens also finished with 18 points. Ryder had just six points at intermission – all free throws, while Stevens had 12 points in the first half.
The Lancers were led by Brittany Cross with a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds. Hazel Doe and Brittani Colberg each nine points.
WNCC, who won its eighth straight, will be back in action Saturday when they travel to Casper College. The Lancers will be back in action Saturday when they travel to face Northwest Kansas Technical College.

Cavender's Greek Seasoning 4 4
My favorite Spice mixture! We've loved this seasoning blend for over 25 years! Great on beef, chicken or pork, and salads too. Try it with some lemon and olive oil as a marinade for cubed pork, grill on skewers! Souvlaki- Greek Style. Love it, always buy it at World Market, always the fair value. February 12, 2015
Great for Salads I was pleasantly please with the quality of this product. I have not used it to cook with, but I have found it to be the perfect addition to my oil and vinegar dressing for my salads. February 1, 2013
Delicious but Loaded with MSG This spice blend has authentic Greek flavors that are well-balanced and flavorful. Probably the best Greek spices you can buy already blended. I use it on chicken, beef, pasta, on salads...just about anything is improved by Cavender's. The *ONLY* drawback, in my opinion is the MSG, which is commonly used in international spice blends. My family has terrible reactions to MSG so I can't use it to prepare their food. If they made an MSG-free spice blend, it would be awesome. In the meantime, use it generously if you don't have reactions to MSG. April 13, 2012
It's the best If I could only have one spice, this would be it. Goes on anything and adds flavor. November 9, 2011

Rated 3.3 out of 5Â by 18 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by freepeoplegurl77 Vibrant colors, unique weaving, but so itchy.. The colors are wonderful, the patterns in the weaving is really quite unique. The sweater was so itchy, even when putting a thermal underneath. This sweater runs a little small. I disliked the length, I like sweaters that are more boxy and longer, especially when layering. If you can deal with the material, it would be a nice Fall/Winter sweater. 11.2.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by KaffeineJunkie Fluff is right. I ordered this online, and I was pretty disappointed when this arrived in the mail. I ordered it in a size small, hoping it would be a bit longer than on the models in the pictures (I am usually a size XS). As soon as I took it out of the packaging, I could tell that it was going to be super short and boxy (the body is pretty much a square when laid flat). It ended up being exactly the length as it is on the models... and I can see why they tucked in the front in most pictures because it looks a bit awkward otherwise. I marked it as TTS, because it looks pretty much exactly like in the pictures-- so I think this is just how it is supposed to fit... it is oversized in width but really short, and boxy. The colour (I got it in the wildfire) is exactly like in the pictures, and it looks beautiful... but the quality of the yarn used is questionable. They weren't kidding when they called it the "fluff" sweater. It is kind of odd because the knit pattern is pretty chunky but they used such a lightweight yarn... so it ends up being like a super lightweight but chunky sweater. If it was a bit heavier, it might stretch out in length a bit and fall better when you wear it... but because it is so light, it just kind of sits there, and isn't easy to manipulate. I don't like it with jeans because I find that it exposes the widest part of my hips and does nothing for my waist... making me look fat and shapeless... and it is way too short to wear with leggings. But this morning, I got the idea to pair it with the miles of lace dress (in alablaster) with tights, a scarf, and knee high boots and it works! The dress balances it out and I don't have to worry about it being so short. I'm super relieved because I hate sending things back, and I'm glad I found a way to make it work... with that said, the fit isn't very versatile if it only looks good with a dress... but this is probably one of my favourite outfits because it is cozy, comfortable, but still looks really put together. You have to play around with this sweater to make it work... as a layering piece it is great, but as a wardrobe staple-- not so much. And in hindsight, I wish I had waited for it to go on sale, because it is a bit overpriced for the quality. I probably wouldn't have picked it up in stores if I'd seen it in real life first. And as for itchyness: It is a little bit itchy when I think about it, but it's loose-fitting enough that it isn't bothering me. 10.16.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by thisiskris10 Itcy Itchy Itchy! This sweater itches beyond measure so unless you're going to wear a long sleeved shirt underneath it, beware! On the other hand though the red color is beautiful and looks just as it does online. I think I'm going to send this back though 10.5.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by McKennae19 Not as expected So i ordered this sweater in orange and when i received it, it was more of a bright red. Also, the material looks like a fluffy yarn ball that a cat would play with it's not like a heavy, knit-type material. Very disappointed i do NOT recommend this sweater. 2.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by LeggoMyMeggo love!! I bought this sweater in three different colors in a small. It fits perfectly (obviously loose), is very comfortable and warm, and looks good with almost anything! Definitely recommend! 8.22.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Supersmarti Love It Runs Small From now on ordering medium in FP sweaters. Just got this in oatmeal, on sale because otherwise I may as well send my pay check to FP. I LOVE the boxy sweaters. This is boxy. I like the yarn A LOT. Fluffy but not cheesy mohair fluffy. The photo doesn't capture the cuteness of this sweater. As for itchy? Every sweater is itchy. 3.29.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CinB Love It I bought this sweater in the amethsyt colour. It is a loose fit and short but the sizing that's listed in the description is accurate. I'm 5'3" and 112 lbs. and got the XS. I wear a fitted tank under it and it looks great. No complaints from me. :) 2.12.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by JLutz itchy. i'm not a huge fan of wool, but this sweater gives the word "itchy" new meaning. super boxy look - pretty oversized. everything considered, not worth the hefty price tag, but cute enough for the sale price. 2.6.2013

Green Flour Sack Kitchen Towels, Set of 3 1 1
What more could you want from a dish rag? Good sized rags. Wash well. More absorbent than I was expecting given the fabric type. They really do dry your hands quickly, and they look good too. I got the right price, and the colors are vibrant. Quite nice, for a dish rag! May 28, 2013

Did I miss the winner of iPhone 5 from the march commenting contest?
Editor's desk: Offline in NYC
All that prep work I've been doing in New York City for the last few weeks? It jumps to warp speed tomorrow and I, along with my fellow Mobile Nations editors, Phil Nickinson, Daniel Rubino, and Kevin Michaluk, along with the enormously talented Cali Lewis and John P, will be pretty much offline most days this week.
I'll still pop in as much as possible, and I'll share via @reneritchie on Twitter, ADN, and Instagram as much as I can. Apple earnings are coming up on Tuesday, so at the very least I'll make sure I'm around for that.
Meanwhile, our new editor, Peter Cohen, starts tomorrow, and Leanna, Ally, Joe, as well as Chris and Simon will be around to keep things running.
We're going to have a ton of stuff coming your way and soon, so please excuse me for a few while we all work our asses off to make it so.

We sure it's going to be something awesome!
I like trying to guess. Let's see.... There are no major events in the next week so it will have to be a series of activities involving the current best of each platform. I think you will do head to head real life reviews/comparisons or maybe editors made to use devices from other platforms to navigate NYC, book meals/events, buy items with the phone at the store ... Endless ideas but really I have no idea what you are actually going to do and looking forward to if.

Nestled in the rural back roads of Yadkinville sits Hanover Park Vineyards, Yadkin County's first bonded winery since prohibition.
The rustic farmhouse that houses the tasting room dates back to 1897 and is a stunning departure from what it was when Forsyth County school teachers Michael and Amy Helton fell in love with it in December of 1996.
As you enter the tasting room you'll be met by Hanover Park's resident greeter Pearl, the Helton's Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. The charming and old fashioned interior of the tasting room provides the setting for a relaxed tasting of the winery's European style wines.
Their flare for the European is not just some aspiration to mimic the styles of French winemakers; it's a dedication that the Heltons have had since returning from their honeymoon in 1996.
Romance leads to business
In the summer of 1996 the Heltons were celebrating their recent nuptials by spending a month in France touring the countryside and visiting as many wineries as they could.
"We were on our honeymoon, so we were just enjoying ourselves," Amy said. "We would go around and try different wines at different wineries."
Amy already had a reasonable appreciation for wine, but it was a new venture for Michael. After a month in the country of romance, Michael had fallen in love…with wine.
"I had been exposed to more wine that Michael had but within that month he was definitely converted into a wine lover," Amy said.
When the couple returned home they immediately started researching where they could open their own winery and set their sights on the Yadkin County area.
"We live in on the western side of Winston-Salem, and heading out on 421 was a natural way for us to look at land," Amy said. "We would find things that were too big, or too small or too close to the river. Nothing seemed right and then one day Michael was trying to find another piece of property and he drove by this location."
It was a rundown farm house built in 1897 and formerly owned by the Cranfield-Cooley family.
"Mr. Cooley passed away and Mrs. Cranfield-Cooley went to live with her sister and this house was rented out to different people," Amy said. "I've had a lot of the people who have lived here over the years come by and I've kept a chart of who lived here and when. I'll hear stories and it's fun that way, we like that."
Located on Courtney-Huntsville Road just down the street from Courtney Elementary School, it seemed like the perfect place to the Heltons, who were drawn to is charm and saw its potential.
The house hadn't had residents since 1963 and the farm was extremely overgrown and uncared for. The Heltons knew they had their work cut out for them but they also knew that if they were successful they would have the bragging rights of the first winery in Yadkin County since prohibition.
"There was one other winery in the area, and that was West Bend in Lewisville," Amy said. "There were only 10 wineries in the whole state."
The tables are turned
The Heltons' background as educators would come to serve them well in the coming months and years as they set out to achieve a goal that neither of them had much background in.
"Surry Community College didn't have a program in viticulture at the time, so we had to do any research and learning on our own but being teachers we taught ourselves," Amy said.
The Heltons reached out to a winemaker in Virginia who welcomed them to his vineyard and mentored them with what information he could offer.
The Heltons would leave their respective classrooms in Winston-Salem and travel down 421 to Yadkinville most days and spend time working in the vineyard. Sometimes they would retreat into the farmhouse for renovations on days with bad weather.
As time went on they found other professionals to assist them with soil and growing tips at North Carolina State University. Also, an Australian viticulturist paid them a visit while he was on a lecture tour. He said: "You have poor soil, good for grapes," and promptly sent them a bill in the mail.
They planted their first crops in the springs of 1997 and 1998 and had their first harvest in 1999 and on July 1, 2000 Hanover Park Vineyard opened its doors to the public.
Amy says that although it wasn't easy teaching themselves to start a vineyard and learning everything it took to make a European wine, they are glad that they chose to venture into Yadkin County.
"I think that people like coming to the country," Amy said. "They may live in Winston-Salem and it may be 20 minutes away, but when they don't have to be at home tending to something they will come out here and they'll bring a picnic and share a bottle of wine with friends or family. They are creating great memories for themselves and to me, that's what's important."
A wine for everyone
Hanover Park Vineyards offers a variety of red, white and fruit wines to as to please any wine drinker that comes through their door. They take pride in the fact that a majority of the grape they use are grown on their own farm.
"We grow most of our grapes which I think is a very, very important aspect to all of this," Amy said. "We want people to know that this is what wine from this part of Yadkin County tastes like. It's not grapes from California, it's not grapes from anywhere else; it's grapes from our vineyard here."
The vineyard's most popular wine is a red that Michael created from influences he received in France.
"Our Michael's Blend has been a very popular wine for us," Amy said. "We started doing Michael's Blend in 2001. It was the first vintage. We have just released our 2008, which is 43 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 43 percent Cabernet Franc and 14 percent Chambourcin. It is medium bodied, easy to drink and good with basically anything that you would like to eat or just to sit on the porch and enjoy."
Another important Hanover Park selection is another red that came along as a direct influence of their honeymoon.
"One wine that we do that no other winery in the state of the North Carolina does on its own is our Mourevdre," Amy said. "This grape grows in the south of France and it has a wonderful earthiness to it and it's great with lamb or beef and some good cheeses. Many people can't pronounce it but they love it."
The winery also receives a lot of attention for its Blueberry wine, a white wine base with a blueberry concentrate.
The tasting room offers 12 different wines. Visitors may choose to try five different wines for $5 and take home their tasting glass or they can choose to try all 12 wines for $10.
Amy is particularly excited about a new addition to their tasting options, the riedel wine glass.
"Years ago Michael and I went to a tasting and we couldn't believe that the riedel wine glass would make such a difference," Amy said. "Basically the glass is made so that you're going to get the appropriate taste. This glass will give you aroma and taste. This glass is going to make my product look good. It's not that it's going to be bad in other glasses, the riedel just enhances it. It's really amazing and fun. We had skeptics that are no longer skeptics."
The riedel tasting option will allow wine lovers to taste seven wines for $20 and take home their reidel glass. Amy says that the tasting will also be larger than those that are offered in the regular glasses.
Hanover Park is also especially proud of its wine club, which was established in 2003 and continues to go strong today. The club allows members to receive two bottles of wine shipped to their door or picked up at the tasting room for 15 percent off retail price.
Wines are shipped out every other month and include winemaker notes and recipes that pair well. Membership also entitles you to a 15 percent on any wine purchased at the vineyard and invitations to member only events at the vineyard.
The wine club is free to join.
"The wine club has built a very nice family here that is very important to a small winery," Amy said. "It's created friendships among wine club members who come to our different events and we two wine club parties every year for our members. That's been a really big part of who we are."
An important mixture
Hanover Park Vineyard prides itself on its wines but the Heltons also realize the importance of additional activities at a winery. Amy has a strong passion for the pairing of wine and food and so the couple will host Sunday evening dinners for groups of 25 to 35 people.
"We think food and wine together is really important," Amy said. "We enjoy it when we have people here to sit and talk and eat together. They're not big groups and the intimacy is what we like."
The vineyard also offers two event spaces for parties, weddings, anniversaries and many other medium to large gatherings.
The Gallery is a space the couple built on to the back of the farmhouse to make additional storage room when Michael was still making wine in the house. Now that he has his own winemaking building, the Gallery has been changed into a 50 person capacity event space where the dinners are sometimes held and where people can rent it for their own showers, dinners and parties.
The vineyard also houses their newest addition that it likes to the call The Studio. This event space is capable of seating up to 250 people and is a popular location for weddings, large parties and company dinners.
"We have our newly restored building that we call The Studio, which is on the far end of the property," Amy said. "That is a building that we bought from our neighbor. It is 50 by 130 feet and it was built in the 1930s. It has all wood beams inside and we kept the inside looking as much like the original as we could. We've had some beautiful weddings there over the past year."
Looking forward
The Heltons seem content in their position in the Yadkin Valley wine industry. There are no big ambitions of building on and becoming a nationally recognized wine. There's no focus on the honors and awards their wines have earned over the years but there is a focus on staying simple and in touch with their customers.
Amy says that she's happy with where the winery is at with sales and that their largest goal is to see their wine club and their event spaces continue to be successful.
"As the industry grows and more wineries come then people have more choices of where they can go," Amy said. "We look at growing our club, growing our group of people that like to come and enjoy activities that we offer them here. I don't think we need to grow case wise. I would love to see the Studio used and enjoyed by other people for special occasions. Those are things that I would like to see for us."

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Ray Graham notched two rushing touchdowns and another one receiving, as the Pittsburgh Panthers rolled to a 47-17 win over the Temple Owls in Big East Conference action from Heinz Field.
Graham finished with 180 yards of total offense (109 rushing, 71 receiving). Tino Sunseri completed 20-of-28 passes for 321 yards and three scores, while Devin Street had six catches for 140 yards and a TD to help the Panthers (4-4, 1-3 Big East) notch their first conference victory of the season.
After suffering a second-half collapse against No. 18 Rutgers last week, the Owls (3-4, 2-2) spent virtually the whole game playing from behind. Chris Coyer threw for 143 yards and Montel Harris ran for 72 in the loss.
Pitt moved right down the field on its first possession, and Rushel Shell found pay dirt on a one-yard run.
The Panthers pushed their lead to 14-0 later in the opening frame, as Sunseri found J.P. Holtz for an 18-yard touchdown pass, capping a six-play, 90-yard drive.
Temple's Matt Brown returned the ensuing kickoff 77 yards to the Pitt 21-yard line, setting up a nine-yard TD pass from Coyer to Cody Booth.
However, the Panthers began to pull away in the second quarter. After a 32- yard field goal from Kevin Harper at the 9:40 mark, Pitt made it a 24-7 game on Graham's one-yard touchdown plunge.
The Panthers defense forced a three-and-out to get the ball back to the offense, and Sunseri capitalized with a four-yard scoring strike to Graham with one second remaining in the half.
Temple showed some signs of life in the third quarter. The Owls opened the second half with a 10-play, 75-yard drive, capped by Harris' 14-yard TD scamper. However, the teams traded field goals to close out the third quarter, and Pitt added two more insurance TDs in the fourth. Graham scored on a two- yard run with 13:57 to play, and Street put the stamp on Pitt's victory with a 58-yard touchdown grab at the 4:41 mark.
Pitt overwhelmed the Owls by racking up 528 yards of total offense for the game and scoring on all seven trips inside the red zone (five TDs, two FGs).

Special to the Daily News
PIKEVILLE, Ky. — Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford received word today that two different coal mines will be bringing nearly a total of 150 miners back to work in the near future.
Two permitted Pike County mines have received new orders for coal.
"By putting these miners who have been out of work for some time back on the job with high salaries it will boost our local economy," Rutherford said. "Hopefully this is a sign that the trend of job loss in the coal mining industry is reversing. This is some good news."
Charles Carlton, Pike County Office of Energy Director, added that with the holidays approaching, this will ease some of the financial burden on these miners and their families and be a significant economic boost to Pike County.
In a confidential conversation with coal industry officials, Rutherford was notified that an announcement from the coal corporation will be made about the job recalls very soon.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--- The Chattanooga Mocs football squad had three student-athletes mentioned on the Sports Network FCS Preseason All-American teams. Davis Tull (Knoxville, Tenn.), Wes Dothard (Carrollton, Ga.) and Kadeem Wise (Lawrenceville, Ga.) all star on defense for Russ Huesman's Mocs.
"Each one is a key member of our defense," Huesman stated. "They're leaders on and off the field and are very deserving of this recognition."
Tull, a junior defensive end and reigning Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year, was posted on the first team defense. He was a second team All-American on the 2012 squad ranking second in the nation with a school-record 12.5 sacks. Not only is he dominant on the field, he's a Dean's List student in the classroom.
Dothard is a two-time All-American at linebacker for the Mocs. He was a first team pick in 2011 and third team just a season ago after a preseason second team nod as well in 2012. He led the team in tackles last year with 94 after 98 stops in 2011.
Wise is looking to be a four-year start at cornerback for UTC this fall. He also received preseason recognition in 2012 from Phil Steele's publication. He's a three-time All-SoCon pick in the defensive backfield, an honor unmatched in Chattanooga's history in the league.
The trio marks three of 10 returning starters on one of the stingiest defenses in FCS football. Chattanooga was 10th nationally in total defense (307.9 ypg) and 18th in scoring defense (20.4 ppg) ranking second in both categories in the SoCon in 2012.
The Mocs open the season on a Thursday night, August 29, with UT Martin coming to town. Kickoff is at 7 p.m., with festivities prior to (tailgating) and following the game (fireworks.). Click the season ticket link above for information on the packages available that suit your needs.GoMocs.com is the official website of the Chattanooga Mocs. The Mocs can also be followed on their official Facebook page or on Twitter. Find out how to join the UTC Mocs Club and support more than 300 student-athletes by clicking here.

Arkansas The Natural State is blessed with an abundance of geological wonders. Crater of Diamonds State Park, the only diamond-producing site in the world open to the public, stands out as a unique geological "gem" for you to explore and enjoy.
Here you can experience a one-of-a-kind adventure hunting for real diamonds. You'll search over a 37 1/2-acre plowed field, the eroded surface of an ancient volcanic crater that 100 million years ago brought to the surface the diamonds and some of the semi-precious stones lucky visitors find here today.
Diamonds come in all colors of the rainbow. The three colors unearthed here are white, brown and yellow, in that order. Crater of Diamonds State Park is a rock hound's delight since, along with diamonds, more than 40 types of rocks and minerals can found here, too. These rocks and minerals include lamproite, amethyst, banded agate, jasper, peridot, garnet, quartz, calcite, barite, and hematite.
In 1906, John Huddleston, the local farmer who owned this property then, found the first diamonds near Murfreesboro, Arkansas, and started the diamond mining rush. According to the history of Crater of Diamonds State Park, after a series of ill-fated diamond mining ventures, followed by tourist attractions, the diamond mine site became an Arkansas state park in 1972.
Many remnants of old mining ventures remain within the park boundary, including the Mine Shaft Building, the Guard House, mining plant foundations, old mining equipment and smaller artifacts. Nowhere else is North American diamond mining history as evident or as well preserved as here.
Along with the diamond search area, the park has hundreds of acres of natural forest featuring a diversity of flora and fauna and offering visitors interesting things to do. Arkansas's natural and cultural diversity evident here in the park's geology, history, plants and animals makes Crater of Diamonds State Park a unique Arkansas attraction. It is a one-of-a-kind experience in the world. You are invited to experience this unique attraction and enjoy the thrill of digging for diamonds in the rough. The park staff will identify your finds for you. And unlike other diamond-bearing sites, our park policy is "finders, keepers." Any diamonds, semi-precious stones, rocks, or minerals you unearth are yours to keep, regardless of their value.
To locate more attractions near Crater of Diamonds State Park, visit the Attractions, Lodging and Dining page on the Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism website, Arkansas.com.

The three officers who were placed on administrative leave after being involved in the fatal shooting of Mark Houck on Nov. 19, have returned to work.
Deputy Joshua Hopkins and Deputy Jeremy Munday returned to the Ashe County Sheriff's Office on Jan. 5, at the discretion of Ashe County Sheriff James Williams, and Officer Jake Howell returned to his post at the West Jefferson Police Department on Jan. 6, at the discretion of Police Chief Jeff Rose.
Deputy Brandon Howell from the Ashe County Sheriff's Office also responded to the shots fired call but was not placed on administrative leave.
The incident happened when the four officers responded to a call about a man firing a gun off of his porch on Gaither Poe Road at 11 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 19. The man was later identified to be Mark Houck, 47, of the Laurel Springs community.
"The officers identified themselves, and ordered the man to put down his weapon. According to a press release issued after the shooting, Houck refused to comply, and began pointing the weapon at the officers. The officers fired their weapons, striking and killing the subject."
Williams later said "shots were fired both ways." He also said "placing officers on leave after a shooting is standard procedure."
After the shooting, the ACSO requested an investigation by the SBI, according to Noelle Talley, the public information officer with the N.C. Department of Justice. The SBI has not released any information on the status of their investigation into the shooting.
"I do not know the status of the investigation. Only the SBI knows where it stands," said Sheriff's Capt. Carolyn Gentry.
However, the officers are permitted to return to work, even if the investigation hasn't concluded.
"Decisions about placing an officer on leave during an investigation are made by the agency that employs the officer, not by anyone with our department (the SBI)," said Talley this week.
Agents with the SBI, said Talley, are responsible for the investigation. Their role is to gather evidence, conduct interviews with those involved and then prepare a report for the local district attorney.
At that point, said Talley, the DA will determine if the shooting was justified or if charges will be filed.
