House Speaker supports ending marijuana prohibition; Gov. Shumlin and most Vermonters agree
Last update: September 28, 2015
Vermont's effort to legalize and regulate marijuana received a boost in August when House Speaker Shap Smith announced that he would support a legalization and regulation bill in 2016. Smith, who has announced that he is running for governor, joins Gov. Peter Shumlin and other Vermont political leaders as public supporters of ending marijuana prohibition.
On January 16, 2015, researchers from the Rand Corporation presented legislators with an in-depth report on marijuana legalization and regulation options in Vermont. The report, which was authorized by the legislature in 2014, revealed that approximately 80,000 Vermonters are regular marijuana users, and that they spend about $175 million each year buying cannabis from the illicit market. The researchers estimated that Vermont could reap between $20 million and $75 million per year in taxes if it decides to regulate.
Following the release of the report, Gov. Shumlin said he favors legalization and wants Vermont to move forward in a responsible fashion. Additionally, Commissioner of Public Safety Keith Flynn has said he supports taking "a hard look" at the idea, and many legislative leaders have gone further by saying they support regulating marijuana similarly to alcohol.
The case for regulating and taxing marijuana in Vermont was bolstered in September 2015, when a poll conducted by the Castleton Polling Institute found 56% support for the idea. Only 34% of Vermonters said they were opposed.
In 2015, Senator David Zuckerman (P-Hinesburg) introduced S. 95, which would replace Vermont's prohibition of marijuana with a system of sensible regulation. Rep. Chris Pearson (P-Burlington) introduced an identical bill in the House. Although the legislature adjourned for the year in May without voting on a marijuana regulation bill, an important Senate committee held several meetings seeking to determine "The Vermont Way" to end prohibition. These meetings are expected to lay groundwork for a new marijuana regulation bill for 2016.
If you live in Vermont, please ask your representatives and senators if they will pledge to support a sensible marijuana regulation bill next year. Please also click here to get involved with the Vermont Coalition to Regulate Marijuana's historic effort to organize statewide support for ending prohibition.
Legislature passes bill to expand access for patients!
In 2014, MPP worked with the legislature to expand Vermont's law so more patients can benefit from safe, legal access. S. 247, sponsored by Sen. Jeanette White (D-Windham), passed the House and Senate and was signed by Gov. Shumlin May 27. This change in law eliminated the cap of 1,000 patients who were allowed to access dispensaries. It also allowed naturopaths to certify patients, allowed dispensaries to deliver marijuana to patients, and called for a study of the potential impacts of legalization and regulation. To view the rules for the Vermont Marijuana Program (VMP), please visit the Vermont Criminal Information Center website.
Vermont decriminalizes marijuana possession
On June 6, 2013, Gov. Peter Shumlin signed H. 200, which eliminated the state's criminal penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana and replaced them with civil fines. This was a major victory for MPP and its legislative allies in Montpelier, who worked hard to build support for this sensible reform. Leading law enforcement officials, including Attorney General William Sorrell and Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn, supported the bill, which went into effect July 1, 2013.

Click here for details on how H. 200 changed Vermont's penalty structure.
As a result of this reform, Vermont police and prosecutors now waste less time and taxpayer money on enforcing laws against marijuana possession. Individuals caught possessing an ounce or less of marijuana in the Green Mountain State are now fined but do not receive a criminal conviction. Those under 21 are now generally sent to diversion.

Indigo microfiber takes on a new shape!
The Indigo Microfiber Applicator is made of the same outstanding microfiber as the Indigo Edgeless Microfiber Polishing Cloth. This 70/30 microfiber is woven from threads smaller than a human hair to form a super absorbent fabric. Apply dressings, polishes, and glazes with this versatile, ultra-safe microfiber pad.
The Indigo Microfiber Applicator is perfect for the application of liquid products because it catches drips and runs to give your vehicle a neat, even coat. The gentle, yet strong fabric is wrapped snuggly around a plush, absorbent sponge. This innovative combination of materials causes wax, polish, dressings, and sealants to spread more evenly, resulting in maximum coverage while using less emulsion.
Loosened dirt particles are lifted by the positively charged strands in the microfiber, and are trapped deep within the weave, preventing scratches and swirls from marring your car's finish. Old swirls and water marks seem to disappear as the delicate network of fibers reach deep within the tiniest imperfections, allowing the emulsions to fully protect and beautify the surface.
Used dry or damp, the Indigo Microfiber Applicator is an excellent duster.
Wipe down your dash, door panels, and instrument panels to remove fingerprints, dust, and dirt. The soft fibers will not scratch clear plastics or glass. Because this pad is made with Indigo Microfiber, the densely looped fibers are excellent at cleaning up smudges and old spills.
Wash the Indigo Microfiber Applicator using
Pinnacle Micro Rejuvenator
in your washing machine. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or no heat.
The Indigo Microfiber Applicator is a cleaning pad, a polishing pad, and an applicator in one.

45th annual Fathoms O' Fun Festival kicks off
PORT ORCHARD - PORT ORCHARD — Little has changed in the Fathoms O' Fun Festival over 45 years.
True, the carnival skipped town in 2009 and has yet to return, but there's still the quaint frog jump and snake race. There's music to dance to and plenty of sticky sweets to consume.
The festival's Grand Parade, nicknamed by organizers the "Granddaddy of Parades," includes 112 entries. The parade, sponsored by Columbia Bank, is set to begin at 6 p.m. Saturday at Port Orchard Boulevard and wind its way along Bay Street.
This year's entries include the usual bevy of pageant royalty, public officials and candidates who hope to become public officials. Dancers, horseback riders, gymnasts and high steppers will take to the streets along with marching bands and other musicians. One of the more unusual musical entries is the Mullenix Ridge Screaming Eagles Pennywhistle Band. The crowd no doubt will hear them coming from blocks away.
The parade will feature floats and classic cars, biker brigades and pets on the march. Nearly last but far from least will be Billy the Bull, the Mattress Ranch mascot.
The festival includes a craft and vendor show sponsored by Clearwater Casino Resort that runs through Sunday.
The fun continues July Fourth with the Grand Fireworks Show over Sinclair Inlet. The display, sponsored by Wave Broadband, will be visible from downtown Port Orchard, Beach Drive and the Bremerton side of the inlet.
Here's the lineup of festival events:
9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday: Port Orchard Farmers Market, on the waterfront.
Noon Saturday: Frog jump and snake races (BYO critters). Watch Fathoms royalty kiss a frog.
6 p.m. Saturday: Grand Parade.
Noon-3 p.m. Sunday: Puppet shows at the gazebo.
Ponies and children's activities all weekend.
Noon-10:30 p.m. July Fourth: Concerts at the gazebo.
10:30 p.m. July Fourth: Fireworks show.
Fathoms O' Fun is a volunteer-run organization. Besides the summer festival, it hosts a scholarship pageant and the Concerts by the Bay program. For information, visit www.fathomsofun.org.
Under a joint agreement, the city of Port Orchard, the city of Bremerton and the Port of Bremerton are funding operation of the Kitsap Transit foot ferry between Port Orchard and Bremerton from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sundays through Sept. 2.
The ferry also will run from 3 to 11 p.m. on the Wednesday, the Fourth of July, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 3 Labor Day, during the Bremerton Blackberry Festival.
The boat from Port Orchard leaves on the hour and half-hour. The boat from Bremerton leaves at quarter of- and quarter after the hour. The cost is $2 one way (cash only); children under 5 are free. Kitsap Transit and ORCA passes, transfers and tokens will not be accepted.

To summarize the story for you, founder of the Galveston Ornithological Society, James M. Stevenson, shot and killed a cat that lived under the San Luis Pass toll bridge that connects Galveston to mainland Texas. An avid birder, he felt that the cat (and other wild animals) were feeding on the endangered piping plovers in the area – so he took matters into his own hands.
The state law at the time of the incident prohibited killing a cat "belonging to another," but it was changed on Sept. 1 to include all cats regardless of ownership. Although the cat was living under the bridge, Mama Cat was named and cared for by a toll collector, John Newland. Opening arguments began on Nov. 13 for the case where Stevenson faces up to two years in jail and a $10,000 fine if convicted on animal cruelty charges.
It's a very polarizing suit, with animal lovers often feeling for both sides. I'm curious to hear how you feel about this:

Excellent point re inflation in China and India......the big buyers of gold are not going to sell just because of a recoverry in the US.....this is the theory going around but I think it is flawed...only some investors will move out of gold to get into equities...and only in the US....most buyers are not in the US; the issue of a US recovery is not pertinent from their perspective when it comes to buying/selling gold.

Hi everyone!
I'm 20 and just found out I'm pregnant with my first baby! I haven't been to the dr yet but I estimated my due date around April 2012! I'm so excited. I joined another young mothers group on here, and while I prefer groups with less members, it hasn't been too active so I thought I would try this one too :)
I'm a member of a few other mommy sites and community boards but most of the active members I've encounteredare on their 3rd or 4th baby and are a lot older than me. I don't have any girlfriends and so I'm really looking for some young moms or moms to be to connect with, maybe make some real friendships. I've met a lot of people online(including my fiance!) and have several penpals and would love to have a few that are going through the same things as me.
I've tried looking in my area for meetup groups and such, but there aren't too many and I'm kind of at a loss of where else to look for young moms/moms to be!
So yeah...a little about me: I'm 20, I've been with my fiance for 7 years and I'm a blogger, artist, photographer and am pretty nerdy and obsessed with zombies and star wars. Oh and coffee, but can't have that anymore! :)
Hope there's some people out there like me who want to be genuine friends!

Over on The Apprentice, the contestants were tasked with putting on a fashion show for shoes. Not as in, they had to put on a fashion show and the audience was made up of shoes. But as in the shoes were the focus of the fashion show. Anyway, the men picked Gene to be their emcee, and he was the opposite of awesome.
Sadly, that wasn't an exaggeration. But, also just like a horse, Gene lives on in the glue used to hold Donald Trump's hair to his scalp.

Undecided questions
Could you reccomend me some books for English language practice?
I tried to read a books, but I never finished it. Who knows the book, consisting exciting plot and simple text? "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" doesn't work:)

If you are just beginning to read English, try reading Grimm's fairy tales or children's books. I especially enjoy 'The Giving Tree'.
I would recommend that you listen to the audiobook version of the book you are reading. This will help you with both the pronunciation of the words and the flow of the English language. You can download audiobooks at audiobooks.com. Check out their kids' and young adults' sections. You have to have a membership to the site, though. There is a branch of ebay called half.com where you can buy inexpensive used copies of books, although I don't know how much the shipping would be to Russia.
Hi have a look here
Project Gutenberg has a lot of free books in English. If you read the Russian classics, these are on this site — but even more there are British, American, maybe Australian writers, depending on your taste. http://www.gutenberg.org/

The Dallas Morning News' Gerry Fraley and Corbett Smith joined host Erin Hartigan on SportsDay OnAir. Here are some highlights.
On the Rangers' lack of activity at the trade deadline:
Smith: "When you look at this the Rangers win the trade deadline. Even though they didn't trade anybody. You get (Jon) Lester to Oakland for just for one year. (Yoenis) Cespedes goes away from Oakland for next year. It eliminates that bat from that lineup. The Rangers aren't playing for anything this year."
Fraley: " Dave Dombrowski of Detroit is the GM of the decade. He got David Price. I don't know how he got him, but he got him. This guy is a master. He knows what he wants and he gets it."
On Prime Prep's charter re-opening:
Smith: "I think it's a pretty good chance. He's got new board and administration. Deon's got a lot of charisma. His sheer will power alone got that school open. I think he'll get a second chance from the state. How long it stays open, that's another question."

This is the second entry in the KITL series. In the first entry we learnt aboust basic KITL packet layout. In this we will look at some of the common things we have run across in debugging KITL issues on devices in-house. This covers mostly KITL over ethernet. For KITL over serial and KITL over USB, I would recommend getting a trace and analyzing the KITL traffic using the packet layout information.
Tracing tools:Some of the tools which can be used to capture KITL and debug traffic are:
Connectivity Issues:
Image downloads to the device but KITL doesn't connect to the desktop
Best tools to debug in these scenarios are:
Image downloads but KITL hangs after printing a message which says "Loading nk.exe …".
Image downloads but KITL hangs after printing a message which says "Loading relsfd.dll …".
This is definitely not an exhaustive list. Please add to this list if you run into a KITL issue with your custom devices and how you solved it.

My husband loves guacamole, and quite frankly and I have grown to love it. From being a picky child, I never would have thought that a green dip could be so good. We just got avocados cheap a few weeks ago, so I thought I would share this easy recipe. I don't do any measuring on this one. It is all by eye-balling it and tasting it. 😉 I hope you enjoy!
Easy Guacamole
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
- 2-3 Avocados (nice and ripe -they should be soft to the touch)
- ½ lime (we are using the juice)
- garlic salt (or garlic powder)
- salsa
- salt
- Chips for serving
- Cut open avocados and scoop them out.
- Place on a place and with a fork begin to mash them up.
- Once it is to the consistency you like, squeeze the lime all over the avocados (this helps prevent them from browning so quickly)
- Sprinkle in Garlic salt
- Add salsa by the heaping spoonfulls. Stir and slowly ad more to your liking.
- Then salt to taste -salt makes a BIG difference in good guacamole.
- Serve with chips and enjoy!

Akumal makes Sunday even more than just FUNday. Every Sunday in the pueblo of Akumal local family style restaurants serve up cochinita pibil, AKA pulled pork sandwiches. Mexican pulled pork is a laborious process for the cook so Akumal has decided to make it a special day in town. Cochinita if done right, is marinated pork that is cooked in the ground. Yup, it is slow roasted in banana leaves in a submersed fire pit. Sound complicated right?
This is how a true cochinita pibil is cooked. A below surface fire pit is created and filled with local slow burning wood. The fire needs to be built first as the wood turns to hot coals before anything is roasted in the pit. Open flames is not what the cochinita pibil chef is looking for. Hot fiery coals is the goal. As the fire is attended to and coals are created, Pork loin, fat included, is marinated in achiote paste (chili paste) tomatoes, onions and bitter orange juice. When the fire is ready, the pork and other savory items are wrapped up tight in banana leaves, and placed on the coals. The entire package is then covered in the dirt removed from the fire pit and the pork is left to cook over night. This is a natural oven, and not a piece of dirt touches the meat, so don't freet.
The pork is then dug up from the fire pit, the family shreds the pork by hand and the resulting meal is served up with onion salsa, cilantro, and other yummy salsas. This is a heavenly dish and a special deal. Akumal makes Sundays more special with the addition of fresh cochinita pibil for local families, and visitors. Give it a try. Swing into the pueblo, pull up a chair at any family restaurant and let us know if your Sunday was better with cochinita pibil.

On Saturday, several hundred people assembled across Southern California for anti-tax protests to kick-off what has become known as the "Tax Revolt Tea Parties." These protests are part of a national movement that will culminate in over 400 demonstrations all over the country on Tax Day, April 15.
The protesters, who take issue with higher taxes and increased government spending, focused their anger at President Obama and the Democratically controlled Congress. Participants held signs that read, "Obama Is Making Us A 3rd World Nation" and "Honk If You Want To Fire Congress." Protesters on Saturday also took aim at California's Republican Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, for his tax hikes and support of Obama's stimulus plan. At the San Diego protest, participants took turns bashing a Schwarzenegger piñata, which held "Pay Day" bars, gold coins, and monopoly money.
(Help us continue to cover the tea parties! The Huffington Post wants to have citizen journalists at as many of these events as possible. If you're interested in attending one of the protests and reporting back to us with dispatches, photos, or video, click here to sign up. We'll contact you shortly with further instructions.)

Big Island
Hotels in Big Island
Situated along the Hamakua Coast, this small bed-and-breakfast is housed in the former residence of a sugar plantation superintendent. Built in 1932, the secluded house is surrounded by a lanai with hammocks, a tropical garden filled with fruit trees, and a gazebo overlooking the ocean below.
343-room eco-friendly hotel and five bungalows constructed on a 16th-century lava flow, currently the nesting ground for endangered sea turtles thanks to the hotel's rehabilitation program.
Kohala Coast property on 15 oceanfront acres with a Polynesia-meets-Asia vibe after the recent $54 million renovation.
Located atop rocky cliffs overlooking Pohakumanu Bay, this Victorian-style inn is set on a 3½ -acre estate just 15 minutes outside Hilo on the Big Island.
Navigate this splashy playland on Waiulua Bay via mahogany canal boat or air-conditioned tram.
Surrounded by 60-year-old botanical gardens and just a mile from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, this property makes use of a circa-1931 home and outbuildings.
A $150-million refurbishment, completed in 2007, brought new life to this venerable resort overlooking the crescent of Kaunaoa Beach (the property was originally built in 1965 by the founder of RockResorts, Laurance Rockefeller).
The floral prints and canopy beds are a little frilly, but the real draw here is the hospitality—a fireside breakfast, tea in the garden. The eight-room Victorian bungalow lives up to its name; it's only steps from a broad beach on the Monterey Peninsula.
Built in 1899 during the monarchy era, the Shipman House bed and breakfast is surrounded by five acres of bamboo, ferns, palms, and fruit trees on Reed's Island in Hilo. The white Victorian is trimmed in black with a turret and wrap-around veranda.
Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel, a 351-room resort, shares 1,839 acres of white sand, palm trees, and lava-rock outcroppings with its sister hotel the Mauna Kea.
Spanning 120 acres of jungle in the town of Pahoa, Kalani Oceanside Retreat is an alternative to the traditional island resort.
Each of the five stylish rooms at this tiny B&B (run by gregarious owners Michael Martinage and Gregory Nunn) comes with panoramic views of Kealakekua Bay. A breakfast of eggs, fresh star fruit, and coffee grown on site is served on the 2,000-square-foot wraparound porch.
Nestled in a sheltered bay along the northerly Kohala Coast, this towering hotel offers sweeping Pacific views from almost every one of its 540 rooms and suites.
Tucked among the ohia trees and huge ferns of a mountain rainforest, the extensive woodwork and windows of the Bamboo Guest House, Guest Cottage, Forest House, and Sanctuary enhance the one-with-nature aesthetic.
Just a short walk from the town of Kamuela, the Jacaranda Inn is located on the 1847 Parker Ranch, one of the largest cattle ranches in the nation.

Junk Yields Top 10% as Growth Woes Shutter Market: Euro Credit
Junk-rated European company bond yields climbed above 10 percent for the first time in a year as investors demand more compensation for the region's stalling economic growth.
"These psychological levels are quite important, going from nine to 10 is different from going from eight to nine," said Michael Hampden-Turner, a credit strategist at Citigroup Inc. in London. "You're seeing outflows of funds but if we went to 11 percent that would certainly attract attention as a buying opportunity."
Yields on speculative-grade debt climbed to as high as 10.1 percent on Aug. 11, the most since June 2010 and 2 percentage points up on the start of this month, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch's Euro High-Yield Constrained Index. That's double the rate on Italian and Spanish 10-year government debt after the European Central Bank bought the securities to bring down yields to contain Europe's sovereign crisis.
Borrowers unwilling to pay the higher premiums demanded by investors as the risk of recession looms means there have been no new junk bond sales in Europe since July 26, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Gross domestic product in the 17-nation euro region rose 0.2 percent in the second quarter, the worst performance since it emerged from recession in 2009.
Deteriorating Conditions
The extra yield buyers demand to own junk bonds instead of benchmark German bunds has almost doubled in the past four months as investors seek havens for their cash, Bank of America Merrill Lynch data show. The spread is at 816 basis points, or 8.16 percentage points, up from this year's low of 476 basis points on April 11.
"It would certainly be a lot more difficult than a couple of weeks ago" to sell high-yield debt, said Stefan Huber, group treasurer for Vienna-based brickmaker Wienerberger AG, which sold junk-rated bonds in June. "In the last two months conditions on the market have certainly deteriorated."
The world's biggest brickmaker raised 100 million euros ($143 million) from a sale of 5.25 percent bonds on June 21 priced to yield 279 basis points more than German government debt, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The spread has widened to about 325 basis points, according to Erste Group Bank AG prices on Bloomberg.
Wienerberger is rated Ba1 by Moody's Investors Services and BB at Standard & Poor's. High-yield, or junk, bonds are rated below Baa3 by Moody's and BBB- by S&P.
Cash Conservation
The prospect of government and central bank intervention to stave off recession is making investors wary of buying, according to Chris Brils, co-head of global high-yield at F&C Management Ltd.
"No one has a strong conviction on what policy makers are going to do, so you're probably likely to conserve your cash and see what happens with yields," said Brils, whose firm oversees almost 1 billion euros of speculative-grade assets and bought "very small quantities" of bonds last week.
Junk bonds currently yield 9.8 percent on average, down from last week's high, Bank of America Merrill Lynch data show.
Italian plastic and glass packaging maker Bormioli Rocco Holdings SA was the last company to offer sub-investment grade bonds, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The paucity of new issues is a reversal of the first half of 2011 when companies from Fiat SpA to distiller Pernod Ricard SA sold a record 31.8 billion euros of junk-rated debt as they took advantage of tumbling default rates and tightening yield spreads, Bloomberg data show.
"It's true that you don't see a lot of issuance in the summer, but we're playing the game now where a lull in volatility can turn into a deal," said Citigroup's Hampden-Turner. "You do get issuers looking for spots of calm. But any deal would be tough."
Austerity Bites
Confidence in junk-rated debt is deteriorating as nations such as Italy and Spain tackle the debt crisis by implementing austerity measures that may hamper economic growth and hurt companies' ability to pay debt.
"You're looking at an environment where a lot of these companies are fundamentally linked to the economic outlook," said Andrew Sheets, head of European credit strategy at Morgan Stanley in London. "They're ultimately tied to a European economy and a European banking system, both of which are currently struggling."
Corporate defaults in Europe could rise as concerns so-called peripheral countries will be unable to pay their debt seeps into the region's financial system, Moody's said in an Aug. 8 report. The ratings firm estimates the global default rate may increase to 1.8 percent in 2012 from 1.5 percent at the end of 2011 while the risk of recession persists.
Returns Erased
Speculative-grade bonds lost investors 1.1 percent this year after forfeiting 5.2 percent since the end of July, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch data. That's after the securities earned 14.7 percent last year and a record 76.4 percent in 2009.
European-based mutual funds reduced holdings of high-yield bonds for the first month this year in June, pulling 1.1 billion euros out of junk-rated debt, according to Fitch Ratings. That compares with a net inflow of 5.1 billion euros in the first half. Funds added 290 million euros of investment-grade debt in June after cutting 230 million euros in May, Fitch said.
"Prior to the most recent resurgence of the eurozone crisis we've seen both quality companies and companies in much more challenged circumstances managing to get deals done," said Norval Loftus, chief investment officer at Allegra Investment Management Ltd. in London. "That second type of company is going to find it much more difficult to obtain financing even at significantly higher spreads."

2004 Hyundai XG350 • 88,000 miles
I have a 2004 hyundai xg350 and the gauges, power windows, blinkers, clock, and A/T shifting quit working. The car starts and is driveable but won't shift out of low gear. Healights, tail lights, radio, A/C all still work okay. Checked all fuses under hood and dash and swapped out all swappable relays with no luck. Suggestions?

When swapping out fuses and relays don't work, you need a test light or DVOM to perform test to find out if power is being supplied to the various components.
Are the hazard lights working?
Is the Malfunction Indicator Light showing?
Have you checked for trouble codes?

This animation was utterly fantastic. Very stylized, very clean, very very smooth. The text at the beginning could use a touch of work, but other than that, this is one of the best flashes I've seen. I can't wait to see the conclusion...keep up the awesome animation.

Awesome! Great job guys!
Introducing the Dwarven stronghold and announcing our return to the starting castles and fixed plots of the first Battle for Middle-Earth game, this is the final of our three news posts detailing large overhauls of core gameplay aspects coming for Edain 4.0, our biggest version yet.
Posted by Lord_of_Mordor on Dec 29th, 2012
With the previous two updates, we've brought back a number of basic elements from the first Battle for Middle-Earth in Edain. Our search for a more rounded economy led us to the conquerable economic build plots. This in turn made the neutral outpost redundant. From that, we developed the idea of replacing the problematic inn and beacon with a second type of build plot which the player can occupy in order to build faction-specific support structures.
After these steps, one question naturally arose: How far do we want to go in our return to the first installment of the BfME series?
The original game used a completely different construction system: Structures were not built freely by mobile porters, but players instead began the game with a walled fortress or a military camp. These bases offered a limited number of build plots to construct your barracks or other structures. If you wanted more building more building space, you had to move out and conquer the neutral plots distributed on the map.
The sequel removed these bases and gave players the freedom to build any structure they wanted in any number at the location of their choice. This is the established standard in strategy games and opened up quite a few new strategies. However, this system was also responsible for some of the most persistently frustrating gameplay and balance problems, such as the dominant strategy to surround the enemy's base with walls and towers to wall him in. Or to cluster so many defenses in one place that they became impossible to penetrate. Or building wells on the frontlines to heal units faster than the enemy could damage them. All of these are fun at first glance, but ultimately are detrimental to the game's health - mainly because they make the flow of the game static and greatly reduce the role of field battles.
The predefined fortresses with their limited number of build plots offered the players comparatively less freedom. However, they ensured that every game would see dramatic siege warfare: Archers rained down arrows from the parapets, Orcs and Uruks stormed the walls with ladders and siege towers and rams pounded on the gates. This infused every skirmish battle with pure movie atmosphere.
And because the player could upgrade his fortress in various ways, but was at the same limited in the number of defenses he could construct, the siege battles could be designed in a way to be exciting for both sides. In this area, the sequel could never reach the original walls: With walls your men couldn't even walk on and the possibility to build up towards a critical mass of impenetrable defenses, sieges were rarely interesting to play and never atmospheric.
We took a long time to weigh the pros and cons of each system. Eventually we came to the conclusion that the advantages of the predefined castles from BfME I reign superior. Although it differs from strategy game standards, it is much closer to the spirit of The Lord of the Rings. The most important battles of the War of the Ring were siege battles. And while almost every strategy game offers free building, almost none feature exciting siege battles. We have therefore decided to bring back this unique feature of Battle for Middle-Earth in our mod.
In plain English, this means that captains of Gondor and Rohan now command these imposing castles:
You can garrison the walls with archers and upgrade them with towers, catapults, banners and side gates. On the inside, the various castles offer between seven and nine sites for regular buildings. You can also build economy structures within the fortress so that you are not starved completely at the very start when you have not yet taken all external build plots or when you are temporarily pushed back into your base over the course of the game. Nevertheless, the player who controls the outer plots commands a substantial advantage and no general should cede them to the enemy without a fight.
Evil factions like Mordor and Isengard are instead aggressors, and their camps are much less strongly fortified:
However, they can build frightening war machines such as siege towers, ladders and mines to storm every bulwark.
But of course Edain has many more factions that the original game. We couldn't simply port over the existing castles and call it day. No, it was clear to us that if we took this step, we'd also have to create new strongholds. The enormous effort this would require was one of the main reasons we had shied away from this undertaking in the past, even though we are all huge fans of the original game. For version 4.0, we finally decided to tackle the matter with all our energy. Here's what we came up with for the Dwarves...
This proud fortress of Durin's folk will be a formidable obstacle to even the most determined invaders... and while the Dwarves were the first of Edain's faction to receive an unique castle of their own, they will not be the last.
Another advantage resulting from the new system is that if we no longer have to take free building into consideration, we can greatly improve the playability of fortresses with narrow space like Minas Tirith. We can place build plots just like in the regular bases and program the AI how to use them. In addition, we have found a way to finally get the AI to close the gates before an attacking army. Fans of epic siege battles have a lot to look forward to in Edain 4.0!
Of course, many other game mechanics will have to be altered as a consequence of the new fortification system. We look forward to your input here. Let us know which aspects you believe must be considered when making these changes and where you think further adjustments will be required. We are also curious which other elements of the first BfME you would like to see in Edain, and which elements of BfME you would like to see preserved throughout these changes.
Furthermore, we'd like to assure you that even while much will change, the core of Edain will remain in place. Our goal is unchanged: To provide you with the best possible Tolkien experience through a diversity of units, deep and interesting heroes and extensive attention to details from both books and films (including The Hobbit!). And we are confident that version 4.0 is a right step in this direction.
We could go on and on about what you can expect in version 4.0. For example, there will be smaller camps with less fortifications on maps which simply can't accomodate larger castles. In addition, we are working on further improvements such as a new unit counter system. But that is beyond the scope of the update, and much of it still lies ahead of us. But because we want to work hand in the hand with the community on the future direction of Edain, we chose to give you this first look into what is to come now rather than later. We hope you enjoyed what you saw and look forward to your feedback!
Finally, to adress the one question that seems to be on everyone's mind: We are resolved to finally make Edain 4.0, with all its sweeping changes, the version of Edain's debut with full English text. To that end, we have enlisted the community's help in our German forums in order to advance the translation, and because many users have lent a hand we have made significant progress. If you are fluent in English and German and would like to contribute, drop us a message!
We have an exciting year before us...
"full English text"
Awesome! Great job guys!
Oh man, I got excited just with that line.
Those words..they gave me an eyegasm! Now I just have to fish out my BFME 2 Disks and go through the horrors of Origin again..
ohh the horror of Origin D: I feel with you man, have had problems with that a couple of times myself -.-
Yeah thats what I did. I had the Collecters edition of BFME 2 when I was 7 but my brother dropped it and it broke, and so I lost my favourite game at the time. But then I learnt how to torrent. And now I'm just waiting for this amazing mod to be finally made!!!
You are killing our freedom at gameplay. If I wanted to play with that limited gameplay, I would play BFME 1, not 2...
You should do two options before starting the game. with free building style and with fortress style if it is possible to do. Otherwise, IMO lots of people wouldn't choose to play edain 4.0.
And pity that old versions dont have english version...
Limited gameplay? It forces you to reconsider tactics and building placement.
I personally always liked BFME1's build plot system for that reason alone, you had to think before you built up your keep.
ME 2 I always like BFME1's build plot system :)
It's fun to build custom bases, just put a restriction on how many farms you can have? I for one like to use both gamemodes. So also think it better to have two choices. like the RJ Rotwk mod.
Everythings sound great ! And thank you for the upcoming English translation !
Why are you turning back to bfme and limit our options? There is nothing positive about this kind of buil plot? As the man before me said two different options for free build and castle style is better.
There are many positive things about it, especially the feeling (and that is one of the mod's very foreground aspects) it brings. The team stated that there will be no option for it because it is a firm decision of the mod's future. Although it might be possible to place special build plots freely, but that is unconfirmed ;-)
And after all, it is "just" a change to the building system - not the only "feature" of BfME 2^^
i agree with forster and the positives are far greater then the cons keep going with this edian team for it is a wonderful idea of course there will be 1,2,4 or 10 people that will disagree with it but there will always be as long as the mod lives awesome idea keep going with it and you are awesome edain team high five :)
And what is that feeling? Can you explain to me? Why should i be stuck to one point in map? Why should not i build my castle where ever i want? Why should not evil ones build walls( Isengard and mordor has huge walls in the story)? This is just a hindrence to evil factions. I think you are just being nostalgic about bfme 1.
in the end it does not matter what you think or what i think at this point the edain team has said that e4 will be bfme style and no builders
Come on! BFME 1 gameplay was a nice innovation on RTS! And you don't have to be stuck in one point! On the other hand you were stuck in BFME II because apart from the Outpost or the inn there was nothing else! You just create an army and attack the enemy base. No drama, no anticipation nothing at all. Even Multiplayer became boring at some point. No! This is the just great!
Only the starting base was fixed. In BFME1, there were extra bases all over the map which ensured players were fighting for every part of the map which was great and ensured completely different tactics to BFME2 which was just a mode designed for rushing your opponents. The Edain Mod is doing a great thing turning BFME2 in a true BFME sequel (updated BFME1 gameplay). I hated BFME2 walls so I'm glad it's being changed.
English translation and bfme1 building system, This is simply amazing.
I hope that you delete spells as earthquake, otherwise the walls will not make sense if your opponent destroys half base with one click.
if you won't give us two options for free to build and fortress type of game, at least you need to make fortresses bigger and FREE TO BUILD inside the fortress.
I agree, Love this stuff, but we need more space and freedom!
Love this update XXD!!! Can't stop imagining (if this word exists lol) how angmar and goblins camp will look ;). And I always liked the feeling of bfme 1 WAY more than the succesors ( I didn't even like this glittering effect these games have cause in my opinion it stole the great atmosphere the first game had..) so im happy with the changes! Also many thanks for the English translation!!
If I can make any suggestions, it will be increased HP of those walls.
Here will be no point in this limited strongholds if a section of wall will not be able to withstand fire of 3 catapults for at least 30 seconds.
An ultimate feature - option in launcher to play with or without them. But that can be leaved until you finish current plan ;)
I hope that the team will allow upgrading the central keep for the good factions, just like they plan to leave the evil fortresses upgradable. For example, I've seen the Denethor balcony for Gondor - I really hope it's an upgrade and not a permanent feature. The fortress upgrades are among the cool things in bfme 2, so I really hope that Edain will not throw them away.
Let us also hope that announcing the English translation will reduce the questions about that matter :)
Will any evil factions get walls?
We plan to give Angmar a walled fortress, yes.
Very Good!!!)
One thing that I would like to see for Lorien - lush terrain and no walls. A Lorien fortress should make the surrounding area green and beautiful, because there is nothing sillier than having a mighty mallorn tree in the middle of Mordor. The walls should be replaced by sacred trees and archer platforms.
We agree! Lothlorien will likely be an exception among the good factions and have a base without walls.
Why not have both systems? In history, most of a castle's populace lived outside the walls and farmed, so why not here too? You can have the strong fortress, but then just one porter to construct a few free buildings outside of the area, and if these are destroyed, then you can run back to the fortress.
this would be a good idea, one stronghold with main buildings and some buildings you can build outside
I agree!
BFME1 building system with Edain mod gameplay improvements, simply amazing.
Big spectacular battles on the field, that's all I'd like to have from a new release. Sieges are fun, but aren't the most spectacular part.
English = thank god.
Awesome! I loved BFME1 build style and I never liked the free building in BFME2. This is a great change!
Is this a definitive gameplay style on the maps? Or can you select like BFME1 style maps with the fortresses and BFME 2 style maps with the free building :) It's not I don't like the fortresses and new gameplay, it's really great! ^^ But having both gamplay styles at your desposal would make the mod even more epic than it already is :) Altough making the economy depens on build plots is, for my part, a great idea in both "tyles" :)
Looking forward to 4.0 :)
looking good, however im not sure about that change...
The base feature is sometimes great, but it also limits variation of battlekinds.
Good factions with fortresses would be ok, but for the evil ones, this is not a good idea. Those mud circles never ever fascinated, not even in sum1. They looked more like some kind of stop-gap feature created for the evil factions. All in all i dont think its a good idea to bring them back.
Also regarding "Nebelberge" (Whats the en name therefore?) THIS DOES ABSOLUTLY NOT FIT.
Hi, firstly I just want to say great job on the mod, looking forward to 4.0
I would just like to make a few suggestions, just small things I think would make the game more enjoyable and fun:
-Bigger maps would improve several gameplay elements, from army deployment to general exploration and feeling of adventure. Bigger maps would also allow for slightly bigger and less cramped fortresses which I think makes unit deployment frustrating.
-Only allow walls and buildings to take damage from siege weapons such as catapult, rams, ballistas... Seeing battalions of soldiers attacking the buildings sword to stone is slightly ridiculous.
-Allow the options for different unit formations in a groups of battalions, for example, archers in the back, swordsmen in front, cavalry in on the sides. like in total war games.
-The option to give or lend resources to an ally.
-Have you considered expanding the resources in the game to separate coins into a few different resources which would give different uses. Wood, Stone, Ores and Coins would be a good option because they are not too many but still seem to improve the economic balance and the importance of territory control such as forests, mines...
-One last suggestion to expand on territory and outpost control would be to add the territory separations and control points to the minimal, similar to the system in company of Heroes: I1-games.softpedia-static.com
-One last thing, I know you do not give release date estimates but do you think you could point us towards which month version 4.0 will be released on, thank you! :)
-one more thing, the dwarf fortress looks great, but I think you should change the colour and texture of the ground to something slightly darker, maybe gravel like, similar to isengards but not as extreme, I think the contrast between the grass and the fortress makes it look slighly out of place.
Your suggestions are good, but some of them are not realizable for the following reasons:
- Bigger maps are possible, but with a linear increasement of the map, the game starts lagging in an exponential way, so it is a nice thing for sure, but too expensice, unfortunately.
- Different resources are not possible to insert due to engine limitations, wood is the only "other" resource it knows and is able to know, and even this one ends in the one resource (to rule them all) ;-)
all good to hear lad.
Very Good :)
cery awesome
HI! this my first post and I want to say thank you for this formidable mod!!!!
I admit I prefer the freedom of BFMEII, perhaps it would be possible to make the BFMEII build style an option? Then you could please both ends of the community...if it were not for the translation, I would stick with the current version...
Nope, the problem is that we would have to do everything twice - two different maps, two different concepts, etc.
Additionally the balance will be mad efor this version - everyone who play the other version will start flaming because of the bad balance.
And many people are against big changes... but in 90% of the cases people keep playing the mod and a few months later they like the new things. This also happened when we introduced the new lorien and isengard style. (many people flamed us and said that they will never play edain again... they did and loved the systems and the same people are telling us now that we are stupid to change something as the isengard system was so unique and good^^)
Last but not least the MP would have big problems... we already doesn't have so many players for the MP - if we would give them 2 different versions it would take ages to find someone to play with...
Will you be able to rebuild the walls? Or like in Bfme 1 will they be destroyed until you rebuild the entire camp/castle?
As said int he other comment area:
In Bfme I you were able to rebuild walls as soon as they were destroyed - we will handle it exactly the same. You can repair them, rebuild them and when you build a new fortress they will be there from the beginning.
Ah so you will still be able to build more fortresses? Will they be locked to specific locations, or will they be playable anywhere there is space? Or was this comment more in reference to the outposts?

Pretty sure Daz Bones is the weak link here: Marguerite should be able to defeat him with haki.
man boshi loses easy
he is just shit like the other princes
I also feel poor Marguerite to be the loose link here, having haki is by no mean a "super strong" skills since potentially everyone in the world has it :D
While people are correct in saying Marguerite is the weak link, I'm going to vote Manboshi 'cause he isn't hot.
I'm going with Manboshi. He was not that usefull underwater ... I don't even want to imagine how useless he would be above water.
Marguerite got my vote.
I think Fishman Karate is better than an arrow with Haki.
Marge isn't even in the Boa crew, while the prince is supposed to be an elite on the fishman island. The girl gets my vote.
I have to say Manboshi. Marguerite would be close to death in this fight as well but I can see Manboshi losing for sure.
Marguerite. She's nice, but not as much of a fighter. Manboshi is ugly, but could beat up the sea monsters and the Hody gang (before they roided up).
Manboshi. But close to Marge. :o
Between Marge and Manboshi.
Marge isn't much of a "fighter" tho...so I'll give her the loss.

Thanks for this info - never seen this before as I synced the old way. This works well. I admit I'm still confused that my new apple tv doesn't appear in my itunes under devices though. My old one still does, but thought this extra one would as well. But thanks for this fix!

Just to confuse us, AppleTV 2 and 3 don't list as Devices in iTunes.
The only time you'll see one there is if it's connected via USB to microUSB to reinstall firmware.
