Monday, August 22, 2011
My suitcase lies open at the foot of my bed, clothes spilling out as items are piled up, tossed on to the top higgledy-piggledy. Shorts and flip-flops, swimsuit and sandals, lipstick in every shade of pink, clothes for a conference and clothes for a shopping mall, clothes for strolling the French Quarter of New Orleans and clothes for lounging around the house in the heat of a Florida summer. Frantically have I been working, packing, writing a presentation and blog posts, planning, organizing and wishing that I had more time!
The weekend passed quickly and enjoyably with friends visiting. Husband cooked and I entertained, mostly talking about food. Saturday afternoon and Sunday allowed us the chance to rediscover our city through the eyes of a tourist. JP was group leader, escorting us from one site to another and regaling us with tales of the city's history. Pointing out gorgeous buildings old and new, admiring the view of the silvery city spread out and shimmering below us as we stood perched atop the Butte Sainte Anne, we crisscrossed Nantes trying to get everything in, not missing one interesting or intriguing thing. The Cathedral offered a cool respite from the afternoon's heat as much as an ice cream eaten on the Place Royale as the fountain of the Loire and her tributaries danced and spattered behind us. And of course we brought our guests to the Talensac market on Sunday morning, pushing our way through the weekend crowd as we chose what to have for lunch. I spent a lot of time chatting with Marie-Noelle, talking kids and food and, well, mostly food. She fed my desire to discover more local food traditions and recipes, and I filled a sheet of paper with names and ideas, cakes and tarts to try and I even invited myself to her house so she can teach me how to make certain traditional plats, dishes, her way, the French way. Two days spent with her and I am fired up to get cooking and writing.
At the end of this week I will actually be in New Orleans! I cannot believe it! All the planning and discussing and it is finally here! I will be so sorry not to see my wonderful friend Lael there (and hope she is healing well and quickly), and I will miss her humor and warmth, but I will be dashing around the city with Gwen and getting to know Sarah, Andie, Dianne and Nancie better – and in person. I have been working my little tail off preparing my talking points on Food and Culture, which I will happily be presenting with Jay of Bite and Booze. I am also extremely excited to be working alongside Dianne of Will Write for Food, who is to moderate our presentation. This will be my first American food blogger conference and my first trip to New Orleans and I am equally thrilled and excited about both. See, I keep using the same words over and over again, my head is simply spinning with, yes, I'll say it again, excitement!
And then I am off to Florida to see my mom and my baby boy. Together, the 3 of us will shop and eat, shop and eat and, yes, shop and eat some more. Sadly, my man will be left behind with his new projects, the older son who starts back with his third year of studies and, of course, The Marts. Being separated from JP is never easy no matter how often I fly off to the States without him, but as I, the woman of the family, leave for a few weeks, the three men bond which warms my heart. And when he stays behind and allows me the luxury of a long visit with my mother, well, more shopping for us!
I have left you with very little food for thought today. I have neither waxed eloquent on a subject near to my heart nor posed a curious philosophical question. I have delighted my readers with no quirky tales of my past nor caused the heat level to rise to simmer with provocation and romance. I count the minutes of every day, marking off items on a list as I complete preparations, jotting down thoughts on a sheet of paper already heavy with ideas. I listen to Simon as he chatters on and on about New Orleans, thrilled to be able to guide me virtually around his city and suggest where to find the best Po'Boy in town. Gwen and I shoot e-mails and private twitter messages back and forth, back and forth as we prepare our speeches, pack our suitcases, try and squeeze into jeans that absolutely fit just last year and talk about food. Friday morning, she'll be taking me to breakfast at Café du Monde for coffee and beignets, New Orleans style, and then I'll take her to Sucré, New Orleans' famous pâtisserie where we are expected and where we hopefully will get to meet Chef Tariq Hanna. Then we may just be ready for the excitement and activity of the conference! Laissez-les bons temps rouler!
I leave you today with a favorite summer recipe. I am not sure why this silky, creamy, luxuriously rich risotto has become a summer mealtime favorite, but it has. Maybe it is the clean, tangy lemony flavor that fills the mouth with each bite, or maybe because it makes the perfect summer meal just served with a crisp, cool mixed green salad topped with summer's best juicy, ripe, sweet tomatoes and tossed with a tart vinaigrette. With a glass or two of a beautiful chilled white wine. Whatever the reason, this is an absolute must-make for anyone who loves risotto, lemon, summer or, to put it bluntly, eating. Seriously. And now I rush off to throw a few more things onto the pile of clothes on my bedroom floor, hoping that at least some will fit, polish up my presentation one more time before printing it out and start dinner for the man and I. Have I forgotten anything?
And maybe this time you can leave me a suggestion or two about what you may, in the future, want me to write about... or a question or two you might want to ask me. Feel free. I am open to suggestion, though I beg you please, only serious suggestions and questions permitted.
From I Risotti fromAnna de Conte's Italian Kitchen
Serves 4 – 6 as a first course or side dish or 4 as a main dish served with a mixed green salad tossed with a Balsamic vinegar and olive oil vinaigrette.
2 pints (1.25 liters) light chicken or vegetable stock, homemade if possible, or if not…. I use 2 broth cubes
2 oz/4 Tbs (60 g) unsalted butter
1 Tbs olive oil
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 branch celery, finely chopped
10 oz (300 g) rice for risotto (arborio or carnaroli)
½ unwaxed, untreated lemon
5 or 6 fresh sage leaves or ½ tsp dried sage
Leaves from a small sprig of fresh rosemary or ¼ tsp dried rosemary
1 egg yolk
4 Tbs freshly grated Parmesan
4 Tbs heavy or light cream
Freshly ground black pepper
Bring the stock to a boil and remove from heat. Some recipes say to leave it on a low simmer during the preparation of the risotto, but I never do.
Heat half of the butter and the tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet, pot or terra cotta risotto dish. Add the chopped shallots and celery – what the Italians call the soffritto - and gently cook for a few minutes until translucent and soft. Add the rice and stir to coat all of the rice well with the fat. Cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes until the rice is translucent. Pour a ladleful or two of the hot broth or stock over the rice, stir and allow to gently boil until the liquid is almost completely absorbed by the rice.
Continue to add the broth, ladleful by ladleful, or two at a time at the most, over the course of the cooking period, stirring constantly, allowing each addition of broth to be almost completely absorbed by the rice before adding more liquid.
Meanwhile, grate the zest from the half a lemon and mix it into the finely chopped fresh sage and rosemary or with the dried herbs. Mix this into the rice halfway (about 10 – 12 minutes) into the cooking.
Continue until the rice is meltingly tender to the bite and the risotto is thick and creamy. This should take more or less 20 minutes. Do not worry if you do not need all of the broth. Or if you do not have enough broth then simply add water at the end as needed.
Squeeze the juice from the half lemon. In a small bowl, combine and whisk together the egg yolk, the grated Parmesan, the cream, the lemon juice and a generous grinding of black pepper.
When the risotto is cooked and the rice is very tender, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the egg, cream and Parmesan mixture along with the remaining butter. Cover the pan and allow to rest off the heat for 2 minutes before giving the risotto an energetic stir until well combined. Serve at once.
I usually serve this Risotto al Limone simply with a large, tossed salad dressed with a clean, tangy vinaigrette made with Balsamic vinegar and a good quality extra-virgin Italian olive oil. Add a loaf of fresh bread and maybe a plate of Italian cheeses or cold cuts and it is the perfect meal. Especially wonderful in the summer.

@Michelle: risotto is a dish of patience. Follow the directions, add the liquid a bit at a time, continue stirring as the rice absorbs the liquid, making sure the rice doesn't stick to the pan and keep going until the right consistency. It should be a bit more than al dente, creamy and smooth though you should be able to tell the grains of rice apart as you eat although they should not be hard.

First I am saddened that you did not mention your trip through Denver on this visit back to the states...oh, yeah, that's right - you're not coming to Denver. Even sadder.
Secondly? I want this bad! I love lemon with pasta so just know I would love lemon risotto. If I bribe you with a hot dish upon your arrival, would you reconsider Denver?

Zogoflex Jive makes dogs come alive!
Maybe the most durable dog ball ever - made of indestructible yet pliable Zogoflex® material ideal for aggressive chewers and pullers. Dogs love chasing and sinking their teeth into this 100% recyclable, non-toxic and dishwasher safe ball that despite its strength, is gentle on their teeth. 3-1/4" wide, slightly bigger than a baseball. Floats in the pool. Made in Montana.

Best Uses
This has been a very good toy for my chewers, they haven't hurt it at all. They love to carry it around and throw it in the air. I may have to get another one.
Best Uses
A ball that my daschund hasn't detroyed. Going on a week and it's still in one piece and he hasn't been able to pick it apart bit by bit. Now if he would only keep it out from under the entertainment center....
I bought the Hurley too and it's still in one piece as well. Great toys for keeping busy for sure!

Just bought Tom Middleton's excellent new compilation on Hooj; highly recommended IMHO. It's 3 cds categorized as Rhythm/Melody/Harmony and not a single duff track. Ranges from breaks/funk/electro to deep house to downtempo all mixed up via ProTools - each track is so well chosen they seem to 'melt' into one...samples n' fx have been added on the fly, and the impression is of a DJ/Producer completely on top of his game...seriously!
There are many stand-out tracks (especially the manic re-edit of New Order's 'Blue Monday') but the whole thing needs to be listened to as 'one'...which is the only criticism - it's too bleedin long!
This is THE definitive dance compilation for house-heads.

A wedding of two top dance masters is a rarity, but that's what's happened for this lucky couple in Kollywood. Dance masters Shobi and Lalita got married in a grand church ceremony at the Santhome Church in Chennai recently, followed by a glitzy reception for friends and family.
The celebrations were attended by several Kollywood celebrities including Kamal Hassan, Suriya, Jyothika, Vikram, Trisha and Shankar, among others.
We wish the young couple a happy married life.

Biodiesel fueling station opens in Monroe CountyWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Oct. 30 to celebrate the opening of a new biodiesel fueling station in Monroe that will service vehicles of the Monroe County Road Commission (MCRC) and Lake Erie Transportation Commission (LETC).
"The new fueling station will save on fuel costs," said Mark Jagodzinski, general manager of Lake Erie Transit (LET), in a news release. "We are continually working to reduce our operating expenses and keep LETC operating within the tax levy renewal voted on by tax payers in August."
Rider fares amount to only eight percent of LET's income, Jagodzinski said.
LET has 33 vehicles that will be converted to use biodiesel fuel, according to the agency. MCRC has more than 125 pieces of equipment that use diesel fuel or gasoline to operate. Most diesel vehicles can use biodiesel with little or no modifications.
The biodiesel fueling station is located on MCRC property at the corner of South Telegraph Road and West Seventh Street in Monroe. Three 15,000-gallon tanks are located at the station, one with biodiesel, and others with diesel and unleaded gasoline to serve separate islands for each fuel.
"It represents a cooperation among government agencies that came together to get the grant for this project," said Mickey Duffy, chairman of the MCRC.
Duffy recognized U.S. Rep. John Dingell and U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow for their support of the project. Both Dingell and Stabenow spoke briefly at the ceremony and led the ribbon-cutting.
"We're very happy to have this biodiesel fueling station after five years of planning and building this project," said Joseph Lybik, commissioner of the LETC.
The station was designed and built through a joint-venture between the MCRC and LETC. The project allowed the MCRC to upgrade its existing fueling station and LETC to have a nearby biodiesel fueling location for its vehicles that serve Monroe County.
The agencies received a $1 million federal grant for the project with each contributing 10 percent or a total of $200,000 in matching funds for the $1.2 million total cost.
"It's bringing tax dollars back into the community," Jagodzinski said.
The collaboration allowed the two agencies to meet their fueling needs and avoid duplication in the future, according to officials from both organizations.
"This partnership gave us an opportunity to pull our resources together to become more efficient," said Randy Pierce, director of operations and acting interim director of the MCRC, in the release. "With the use of the new biodiesel fuel, we are able to be more environmentally friendly and help control our operating costs. We feel this venture could create more opportunities to involve other agencies in the future."
"It's good for Monroe County, Michigan, the country, agriculture and the environment," Dingell said about the culmination of effort by everyone involved in the project.
The use of biodiesel results in a substantial reduction of hydrocarbons, which create smog or ground-level ozone, and particulate matter.
Pure biodiesel fuel is nontoxic and biodegradable, made from vegetable oil, used cooking oil or animal fats. It can be 100 percent biodiesel or blended with traditional diesel fuel. The system in Monroe County is using biodiesel blended with diesel fuel, according to the MCRC.
Biodiesel is domestically produced so its price is not determined by world oil markets. More than one billion gallons of biodiesel were produced in the U.S. last year and it is currently the least expensive of biofuels, according to industry sources.
Soybean oil is one of the key ingredients in the biodiesel fuel now used in Monroe County, which is among the top five counties in the growth of soybeans in Michigan, according to Keith Reinholt of the Michigan Soybean Promotion Committee.
"We grow things and make things in Michigan and this project is an example of what can be accomplished when everyone works together," said Stabenow, who is chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
Lake Erie Transit (LET) has provided public transportation in Monroe County since 1980 and serves the needs of 400,000 riders annually. LET operates buses on eight fixed routes with 40-minute schedules in the City of Monroe. Door-to-door Dial-A-Ride services are offered in Bedford and Frenchtown townships in Monroe County.
The MCRC is responsible for maintaining 1,505 miles of roads in Monroe County. It performs a wide range of activities from cutting grass to removing snow in the winter.

Gossip Girl
Gossip Girl Music: Songs From Season 6, Episode 9: "The Revengers"
Talk about a cliffhanger! Or, in the specific case of Bart Bass, a roof-hanger. Despite the fact that they all hate each other, Blair (Leighton Meester), Serena (Blake Lively), Ivy (Kaylee DeFer), Sage (Sofia Black-D'Elia), and Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) assembled to help Chuck (Ed Westwick) take down his darling dad. If you blinked, you may have missed the ten seconds when there was a possibility that Chuck had died. Believe us, it was kind of intense.
Here is the music that helped set the mood in Season 6, Episode 9: "The Revengers."
Scene: Nate talks to Sage about Gossip Girl's identity.
Artist: Ellie Goulding
Song: "Hanging On"
Lyrics: You know we can get away
Because i'm calling your name
Every day I feel this pain
But you just turn and walk away
I just can't keep hanging on, to you and me
I just don't know what is wrong, with you and me
Touch me and then turn away
And put your hands into the flame
Tell me if you feel this pain
Cause I don't want to be a ball and chain, nooo
I just can't keep hanging on, to you and me
I just don't know what is wrong
Give me the respect, forgive me and forget
We've got to get a grip, living on the edge
I barely even know this f-ck-ng woman in my bed
And if there's too much on my plate, then I ain't finishing my veg
And if anybody said the grass is greener on the other side
Well it ain't, swear on my mother's life
You got me wrapped up in your shit
I'm feeling mummified
I've only ever had this fucking feeling in my stomach twice
You gave me what I needed, and I gave her everything she wanted
Miss something 'bout your cleavage
Now why can't put my fingers on it
You're taking me the deepest
I thought that she was gonna vomit
If all women are from venus, then I guess I really got a rocket
You've got a noose around my neck, but i'm still hanging on
We've nearly reached the finish line up in our marathon
I spat a verse, she sang a song
She broke my heart, I took some Gaviscon
I just can't keep hanging on, with you, with me
With you, with...

here is a few that i remember from past interviews which was on off the record on TSN here and/or Tout le monde en parle on Radio-Canada(French channel).
He once worked as a garbage man, not sure it's the real english title since i'm french, one of those guys behind the garbage trucks, he actually liked it because his colleagues were interesting people or as he said; they were "characters".
the least favourite job he ever had was working in a grocery store, what he called doing facing, which is getting the merchandise on the selves straightened out, he said it was very boring and not very motivating.
he likes dark meat and enjoys sex in the stink star.
not joking.
They should have him and dana on scare tactics(dana knows and is driving) taking a late night drive and pretend they are getting abducted by aliens.
Ya, gsp has deals with both underarmour and gatorade. 2 huge companies that you see a ton of in major sports. Not sure how much they pay him, but their pockets are way deeper then the typical mma endorsers.

A Company of HeroesThursday | 9 p.m.
Easy Company, the 2nd Battalion of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne Division, widely known as the "Screaming Eagles," remains one of the most revered combat units in U.S. military history. The Army company's legendary exploits in World War II inspired Stephen Ambrose's book, Band of Brothers,and the Emmy®-winning HBO miniseries of the same name.
Following two years of hard training, the soldiers of Easy Company parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and, later, into Holland for Operation Market Garden. They fought their way through Belgium, France and Germany, survived overwhelming odds, liberated concentration camps, and drank a victory toast in April 1945 at Hitler's hideout in the Alps.
In 2009, 20 of the few remaining survivors from Easy Company shared their rarely told stories of sacrifice and courage for Marcus Brotherton's oral-history book project, We Who Are Alive and Remain: Untold Stories From the Band of Brothers. In A COMPANY OF HEROES, those same veterans — along with the families of three deceased others — recount the horrors and the victories, the bonds they made, the tears and blood they shed, and the friends they lost.

Jack Neal - General Manager
When Did You Start at WEIU? 2010
Favorite Show on WEIU-TV: This is a tough one! I'm a fan of everything we do both on the air as well as in the world of education. But truth be told, my favorites are locally produced programs. Heartland Highways gives me a chance to see some of the many amazing places in this wonderful area we call home. I've seen places on Heartland Highways that lifelong east central Illinois residents didn't know existed...and then made the short drive to see those places up close and personal myself. And I've learned so much about some of the most interesting people who are our neighbors.
Another of my top three would be Four Rivers Ag Report. Though I'm not a farmer, I live on a working farm and see the daily ag activity that drives our area. No matter what we do, we are a part of agriculture. And I find that fascinating. The things I've learned about our farm community as a result of Four Rivers are pretty amazing. And as much as Four Rivers Ag Report focuses on the farmers in our area, it does just as good a job of celebrating our rural lifestyle.
Last but not least is News Watch. There is nowhere else to find the kind of coverage News Watch provides our area. Even in a world of 24/7 online and cable/satellite news services, I find News Watch the only place to watch and learn what's happening in OUR community. It's unique.
What have you learned while working at WEIU? This could be a chapter in itself!In my case, I came to WEIU after working in public broadcasting for decades.I'd worked for many stations in many parts of the country. My fascination with WEIU was two-fold: The fact that WEIU is MORE than a PBS station, and the opportunity to live in this incredible community. Being a part of a non-commercial TV station that goes so far beyond programming what most PBS stations provide has allowed me to learn an amazing number of new things about our world. And being in the east central Illinois community has taught me just how special and unique this place is. I've learned that what may appear on the outside to be an unchanging environment becomes a wealth of different sights, sounds and experiences with the march of the seasons, the constantly varying weather and the beautiful lighting variations of each passing day.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? WEIU is certainly not like most TV stations. We're obviously nothing like a commercial TV station which is funded by commercials based on the number of people watching each program. Yet, we're also different than most non-commercial TV stations, as well ... both in what we air and who we aim to serve. And that's important to me. As I've seen more of the media universe surround us with an array of programs, news, shopping channels and pretty much anything you could imagine, I still find WEIU the ONLY place where I can learn about MY neighbors and MY community. I know such a service is not going to be supported by other communities or by commercial sponsors. I frankly wouldn't expect it to be. So I find it important to support that service that serves me and the people who are my neighbors. It seems to be part of the American way of taking care of those things that are important to us. At least that's how I see it!
WEIU is very important to me and I hope to you, as well.

I love you all! You're on in every room of the building. DON"T CHANGE ... you're PERFECT, #1.

Celebrity Outfit Idea: Mix Navy, Black, and WhiteDianna Agron proves that black, white, and navy can go together if deliberately styled. That means your navy items aren't so dark that they almost look black and that there are equal amounts of both black and navy pieces in your dressing equation.

Celebrity Outfit Idea: Leather Can Be LadylikeLeather can sometimes read a little Hell's Angel-ish, but Michelle Williams is a study in how to keep it feminine. A knee-length silhouette and peep-toe pumps lend a sophisticated touch to the traditionally hard-core material.
Celebrity Outfit Idea: Add On Extras to Your OuterwearSpice up a traditional peacoat with a faux-fur stole à la Kirsten Dunst. Your styling will give off a retro l950s vibe.
Celebrity Outfit Idea: Light Denim Isn't Just for SummerDark denim may be your jeans of choice once the temp drops, but Rosie Huntington-Whiteley proves you can still rock lighter washes if you wear them with leather add-ons.

Celebrity Outfit Idea: Pick a Flattering PeplumConsider yourself a curvy gal? Follow Octavia Spencer's lead and go for a flattering peplum top or dress that will help define your waistline.
Celebrity Outfit Idea: Take the Black Out of Black TieOn her tour to promote The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara rocked an emerald green Louis Vuitton frock and an amethyst J. Mendel dress. As you can see, a black-tie invite doesn't always have to mean black dresses. Jewel tones can make a major impact as well.

Celebrity Outfit Idea: Flaunt a Touch of Skin With Strategic CutoutsWe all know you don't have to show it all off to be sexy, right? Strategic cutouts on Keira Knightley's dress reveal just enough skin while still leaving something to the imagination.

Celebrity Outfit Idea: Borrow From the BoysTake the starch out of a menswear-inspired suit with the help of a graphic T-shirt. Finish with cool-girl accessories like Anne Hathaway's Ray-Ban sunglasses.
Celebrity Outfit Idea: Make Leather Pants Work for Casual OccasionsFor a basketball game, Beyoncé wore leather pants with an oversize sweater. Edgy, yes, but the star also shows that mixing hard and soft materials can make for the best off-duty outfits.
Celebrity Outfit Idea: Make a Splash in a Simple Slip DressRihanna's got red carpet dressing down to a science—and so can you. When in doubt, just toss on a simple slip dress. Your look will read as both sophisticated and saucy.
Celebrity Outfit Idea: Replace a Blouse and Pants With a JumpsuitA plunging-neckline jumpsuit like Emma Stone's can be just the thing you need to replace your typical blouse-and-pants combo. The one-piece can be equally as elegant as two separates and, at the end of day, easier to put on!
Celebrity Outfit Idea: Try Colorful Lace for a Formal OccasionFormal holiday dressing can be kind of monotonous, but Kerry Washington shows it doesn't have to be. Marigold lace provides a chic alternative to your other holiday outfits.

I'm trying to keep my laid back attitude on games intact. Maybe I'm having a bad night, maybe I was wrong and everything does have a slightly serious indication, but I find myself incredibly irritated at the DF community.
Being someone who spent money and played DarkFall, I was extremely disappointed. So were you, let's not kid ourselves, it was a joke. Darkfall 2.0 being touted constantly with nothing too tangible as an example, I left. Let's not forget it started as Darkfall 2010, lads. Now they're finally releasing it under the new name Unholy Wars and my lord it seems people cannot learn. I hate being a naysayer, it sucks. I can't predict success or failure, that is not within my rights as a human being, it's not my position. That doesn't mean, however, I can't use logic.
Logically, this probably won't be that great. Come on, we're seeing the exact same team doing the exact same procedure, shouldn't we expect the exactly same results? You can make it look better, you can make a ton of changes on paper, you can show us one single video that is approx a 40 seconds of gameplay footage - but CAN you fool us with this? The answer seems to be an unwavering "YES!".
I say "No". I think what makes me take this more seriously than I usually take games is that it's kind of insulting. Not only that, I'm seeing people blindly go along with it, again! Even those excited, I think you have the same gut feelings I do, that this is simply a prettier reskin of broken fundamentals.
If it succeeds, freakin' awesome, you better believe I'll be with you guys playing. If it tanks, well, this is a great year for PC gamers. Guild Wars 2, Planetside 2, a new expansion for Rift, DayZ standalone, Overgrowth, Xenonauts Beta, Far Cry 3, Mists of Pandaria, Decent changes to Dwarf Fortress, Hawken, Planetary Annihilation, Arma 3 and make sure to check out the Occulus Rift.. So, I'm going to bring myself back to a calm level and I suggest you all do too, think about it rationally. Life moves on, either way.

Why do you feel it will tank?
What did the initial quote about the community have to do with the remainder of the post?
Only crazy people do the same thing and expect different results. It seems you are classifying DF:UW fans into this bracket. There is no real substance to your complaints though.
Originally posted by gekido
I think there is plenty substance in the product they release before. It wasn't a quote, I just italicized it as it was more or less a personal thought in my head before starting. If you want solid complaints you can look back into my OP and see that I saw very little difference in the one minute video and I have issue with them having the same process of development.
Considering they released a less than great product which did not do well, it is reason enough to think it will tank; simply because they have shown very little to prove otherwise, it seems logical to me.

every time Aventurine is about to release something people pop out from the shadows to start preaching the gospel of Doom. You can tell most of the times by the number of posts and/or join dates, both here and on the official DF fora.

Well there are a few things to understand here... first I will start with the flaws in your argument.
When Darkfall1.0 was being developed the team was a skeleton crew of 5-10 people, they built their own engine and game over many years. Without the huge dev team larger titles put out there I think it's easy to see why they may have struggled upon release to fix broken aspects of the game.
Years later and AV now runs with a dev team of over 50 people, new offices, new animation studio. This larger more experienced team has already got the basics that were right in DF1.0 and has simply redone and built upon these features whilst replacing things such as the UI and character development.
Taking the above into consideration I would expect better results than before.
Now you have to think about marketing the game from AV's perspective.
With the original release they got so much attention and people wanting to play it hurt their reputation badly. Many people raged at the release and not being able to purchase the game even weeks after launch. The demand was TOO high. This time round they must have a managable launch. Whilst they're probably capable of taking 100k+ people now, it will still be a nightmare trying to keep it all running smooth come launch.
That's why they don't do mass marketing... for now.

You listed GW2, PS2, WoW, Rift.. maybe you should just go play those games.. Its not your fault if you're appealed by games studied to entertain the masses.
A few things.
1) Original DF was a very small team. Tasos stated 11 people in development, 19 at/around launch. Since then, and with the development of UW they are now up to about 60 people and possibly still growing as they ramp up for launch. Theyve also had more funding this time around to make use of some better tools & technology
2) Experience, more of it. The early stages of development for DF1 started around 10 years ago. As time went on they gained experience, some of which wasnt shown in DF1 due to a large portion of the game already being done and they werent going to scrap the entire project and start over to make use of some of that new experience. Now after having launched DF1 and ran it for a few years, theyve had a chance to gain much more experience and also see what sort of problems existed in DF1 and try not to make the same mistakes this time around. If youve watched some of the interviews with Tasos, like the 45 minute or so intervew for gameover.gr, he talks a lot about things they have learned in the process of creating and running DF1 and some of the mistakes they dont want to repeat. DF1 was a 1st attempt which had its flaws.
3) You point out that it was originally called DF 2010, which is true, but they also took on a lot more changes than were originally planned. It went from changing a few features around to doing pretty much a complete overhaul of the game. Just consider the point that it isnt even the same world & lore anymore. The entire world has been redone, story has changed, alliancs have changed, locations have changed, etc. None of that stuff was planned back for DF2010. That doesnt happen in just a few months. As more time went on they found new things they wanted to change and new ideas / requests from their fans which they decided to implement which kept adding more and more time to the development.
Anyway, in the overall picture one of the big things is this: Looking at what they have revealed of the game so far through blogs, , Q&As, interviews, etc. They seem to have done what a lot of companies refuse to do. Listen to the players. They haven't simply turned a blind eye and insisted problems never existed and that players just have to deal with it. They realize things could have been done better, and appear to be taking that to heart when it comes to UW. That is pretty clear by things such as improving the new player experience, attempting to remove or at least hinder certain features that were big thorn in the game (like bunny hopping), and overhauling things that really turned players off in the 1st game (like the ui).
UI was a major complaint. But the average dev company would have been like "WTF are you talking about? Our UI is the most epic thing ever. We cant make it any better" when really they just dont want to put the time & effort into doing it.

Very interesting replies. Good points. I'll eat my words on that and say I was too hasty, I should of researched more. Thanks for informing me in a more polite way than I afforded you.
I listed those games to illustrate the choices we have of fresh games this year, though PS2 and Overgrowth really do captivate me a bit. I'd wet my pants if darkfall UW really does deliver, that'd be great. But if it doesn't, we have a lot of quality games to try, I won't give WoW or Rift the time of day but I can see why someone would like that.
[mod edit] It's natural that I had the same opinion from my post on the thread you saw and this thread that inspired it. I do not post on the Darkfall forums, I don't even think I did when I played at launch. Even if I DID make a thread like this on DF forums, how would that be trolling? I want legitimate discussion and am listening to replies. I never claimed to be right and simply said what I thought made sense. The posters above gave me some great counter points and I concede to that.
[mod edit]
I'd like to add further, as a disclaimer. I use controversial or bold sentences at times because it's how I like to attention grab. I like making little quips, they are meaningless. Don't be offended by them, I have no ill intentions towards anyone on the forum, I don't dislike people I don't know. It's part of my writing style, I'm a nice guy. If I say something that really pisses you off, PM me and I'll talk to you about it.
Of course I want this and all games to be great. I gain nothing by this failing. I was super pumped for DF, I remember checking leak sites hourly for new footage and reading/rereading articles constantly. I don't really get excited like that anymore about games, but it'd be cool if this one lived up to the previous and current hype.

I can't talk for the future either, but I know for a fact that Tasos and AV has openly said in their mini-doc that they were fully aware of the failures and flaws and that they know it didn't go accordingly. They even described the launch of how there was so much demand but the system couldn't handle it, and they could see players turning their back and never return. They said that if the launch had gone accordingly it would have been the best greek based product to ever be released internationally. This is something they know and that is what they have in their back heads.
AV know exactly what they are doing. Tasos and the other devs are very clever people, and they are much aware of how things work and how they do things.

Thats the 1st in a 3 part series of the same interview covering about 45 minutes. Tasos discuss a lot of how the game came to be, issues that came up with the game and ways theyre trying to make it better this time around, some of his own opinions about the MMO genre, etc. The stuff about the Eurogamer review where they received a 2/10 was pretty ineteresting. Review done by a guy who did not even play the game, just read forums and created his review based off of forum posts. They gave him the account and tracked what he did, which was nothing. They later sought a 2nd review by a freelancer for Eurogamer who actually played the game. Sounds like a lot of "reviews" we get from users on these forums with a lot of games lol.
Its all in greek but with subtitles (turn the CC button on at bottom), but a nice interview.

That was hardly the games problem. Its part of the reason people were excited for the game in the 1st place. One of the big problems they had was the relative difficulty to learn the game and become a viable PvPer if you were later to the game, which they have changed via roles instead of an open ended skill system, implementation of the new player experience stuff. Theyre making it a bit more "newbie friendly".
It was the same problem EVE used to have. It was much more challenging for new players to get into the game and feel useful. But EVE also improved the new player experience a lot through a series of nice tutorial missions and stuff.

I don't think it failed, I wasn't even disappointed. I played for a year and more. Nothing else since has even come close to what I want to play.
I feel like the majority of people who didn't like DF at launch 1 fell into 3 categories:
1. People who hated the UI and didn't even give the game a few days chance. I know a lot of these.
I think there's also a large number of people who liked DF 1, like me, but felt that it didn't have enough to do. I loved what I did, but doing the same thing gets boring.
Last point for me would be that the boats in DF were the best anywhere, no game touches the ships and ship fighting. My wishes for boats would be that they were 1/100th the cost so that everyone could go out fighting on ships, and that ship to ship fighting had more damage.

The UI was horrible, and the worst ever made in any game I`ve played the last 30 years. Some made it through the UI problem by using script programs and macroes, but that`s not how it`s suppose to be. AV hopefully have fixed this huge problem in DFUW.
I really don`t understand why some would chose to play a full-loot mmo and then complain, so I don`t think there were a lot of those players. Sure it could be a problem for wow players not to have huge exclamation marks over the NPC head, but that wasn`t the problem. We had fun the first three months with thousands of players, then something happen that almost killed the game.
The biggest killer of players was the grind. The time and work we had to do just to play the game was immence. Bloodwall, afk swimming, rigor dance, macroing etc. killed of most of the pvpers. This will be the most important thing in DFUW. Get players pvp viable fast, or we will not be able to grow the population. I do hope AV and Tasos understand this crucial point of a full-loot pvp mmo.
Ohh, and OP...We will buy this game again and a again. No matter what AV does, Darkfall will still be more fun than anything else out there.

Personal Retirement
In this study we analyzed the retirement behavior of Mexicans with migration spells to the United States that returned to Mexico and non-migrants. Our analysis is based on rich panel data from the Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). Approximately 9 percent of MHAS respondents aged 50 and older reported having lived or worked in the United States. These return migrants were more likely to be working at older ages than non-migrants. Consistent with much of the prior research on retirement in the United States and other developed countries, Mexican non-migrants and return migrants were responsive to institutional incentives. Both groups were more likely to retire if they had publicly provided health insurance and pensions. In addition, receipt of U.S. Social Security benefits increased retirement rates among return migrants. Return migrants were more likely to report being in poor health and this also increased the likelihood of retiring. The 2004 draft of an Agreement on Social Security would coordinate benefits across United States and Mexico boundaries to protect the benefits of persons who have worked in foreign countries. The agreement would likely increase the number of authorized and unauthorized Mexican workers and family member eligible for Social Security benefits. Theresponsiveness of current, older Mexican return migrants to pension benefits, suggests that an Agreement would affect the retirement behavior of Mexican migrants.

We visited the new stadium construction site with Quakes prez Dave Kaval the other day, and it turns out there is a lot more excavating to be done than we originally thought. Just check out the photos below.
The old FMC building foundation wall:
One of three concrete bunkers found on the site. It wasn't an easy task for the construction crew to rip these suckers out.
The trouble with digging below the water line. You run into water. A lot of it.
Kaval inspecting the ground water:

These giant metal objects weren't easy to pull out of the ground either:

Walk to raise awareness of neurological disorder ChiariWritten by Matt Liasse | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Three members of Kellie Haupricht's household have been diagnosed with Chiari malformation, facing 60 of the neurological disorder's 200 symptoms.
The malformation occurs when the brain descends out of the skull and puts pressure on the spine; some symptoms include severe headaches, neck pain, balance problems, weakness in arms and legs and respiratory problems. Close to 300,000 people are diagnosed with the disorder in the United States, Haupricht said.
Approaching 50 years old, Haupricht considers herself lucky. She was diagnosed three years ago after being incorrectly diagnosed with lupus and a form of multiple sclerosis two different times.
Haupricht suffers "drop attacks," a symptom of Chiari malformation where she passes out due to her brain stem being so close to the skull, causing her body's nerve sensations to stop. She has broken bones from falling.
Haupricht said the disease is hard to diagnose because of the wide array of symptoms, so patients often go five or more years before being diagnosed. She works with Conquer Chiari Toledo to bring awareness to the condition, in hopes that might change.
"It's not rare; a lot of people try to say it's rare," Haupricht said. "What is really rare about it is the fact that the majority of doctors, physicians and even neurosurgeons have never heard of it or, if they've heard of it, they do not know how to diagnose it properly and they don't know how to treat it properly."
Recent studies have shown the disorder is genetic and often affects multiple family members, Haupricht said.
Haupricht's daughter, Jessica, also has the disorder. The condition she has is known as Chiari Zero (most people have Chiari One), meaning it is being watched but not treated. Haupricht said as Jessica grows older, it could cause more problems.
Haupricht's son, Nathan, has a more severe case of the disorder. He has had nine brain surgeries related to Chiari malformation after it took 12 years for him to be diagnosed. He missed four consecutive years of school.
"None of his surgeries were done here in the area. We had to travel outside of the area to have proper surgery. If we would've allowed the neurosurgeons here to do what they wanted to do at the time, he would not be with us today," Haupricht said. "One of [Conquer Chiari's] big goals is to be able to have the surgeons and doctors educated in our area so that our patients are not having to travel outside of the area, or if they do have to have surgery here in Ohio then the surgery is done properly."
There are no studies showing if life expectancy is affected by the disorder.
"I know, with my experience, the older a patient gets, it's a very excruciating life. You're not able to do much. A lot of people end up in wheelchairs or bedridden," Haupricht said.
Haupricht said the only way to fight Chiari is through surgery to help slow the progression. Because the research is so new, Haupricht said there isn't any continuity in care.
Conquer Chiari is a "public charity dedicated to improving the experiences and outcomes of Chiari patients through education, awareness and research," according to a news release. Last year, the Conquer Chiari Research Center was opened at the University of Akron, was first of its kind dedicating all its research to Chiari malformation.
For the fourth year in Toledo, the organization is sponsoring Conquer Chiari Walk Across America, a series of fundraising walks that will occur simultaneously at 61 sites nationwide. The walk is to raise awareness and money for researching Chiari malformation. Last year's walk raised more than $530,000; 80 percent of the money funded research.
The local walk, coordinated by Haupricht, begins at 11 a.m. Sept. 21 at Monclova Primary School, 8035 Monclova Road; registration begins at 9 a.m. Participants are asked to pre-register online at conquerchiari.org, but it is not required. T-shirts will be provided to those who preregister by Sept. 16 and contribute at least $25.
For more information, contact Haupricht at (419) 822-6049 or Jill Miller at (419) 410-8522 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com. O

Political Science
"The study of political science/law is basically the path of least resistance for me. It is a subject that has always interested me, and one that I have proved to be naturally insightful in. Studying political science isn't just the study of how governments function or how it is composed, but the study of why it exists and to what ends. In short, it is the study of what makes everything else possible."
