One berry is becoming popular in Northwest Iowa.
Aronia berries, also referred to as black chokeberries, are considered a superfood and are making a name for themselves in Siouxland.
"We were kind of looking for something unique," says Lonnie Ploeger, aronia berry producer.
Anyone looking for a superfruit that has high amounts of antioxidants and other health benefits, aronia berries might be the fruit for you.
"You hear all kinds of stories of people who have a bad hip or have health issues that started drinking the aronia juice or just eating the plain berries and that just really, really helps their health aspect," says aronia berry harvester and producer Michael Pippett.
The Ploeger family grows aronia berries of their own in Pierson, Iowa, and you don't have to worry about any extra substances.
The family says they take pride in having certified organic berries, which means no chemicals or fertilizers are used during the entire process.
Aronia berries possess similar characteristics to a blueberry, but with a distinctly different taste.
"Like a dry wine," says Pippett.
Both Lonnie Ploeger and his wife Kathy grew up on farms and thought having their kids lend a helping hand with the berries could serve as a tool to teach some valuable life lessons.
"Trying to teach them responsibility so it'll carry over into their school work and hopefully someday when they get a job, they'll realize that you have to work at something in order to succeed," says Ploeger.
The superfruit snack can also be a tasty treat.
"We mix them in with smoothies or we cheat a little bit and use some ice cream. We shouldn't probably do that and it probably takes away the health benefits, but that's how we do it," Ploeger jokes.
"We put them in banana bread, smoothies, pies and those are pretty good," says Pippett.
Harvesting for the Ploegers has skyrocketed so much that this time around they had to bring in a machine to help collect the aronias berries.
"It was kind of a social gathering when we didn't have as many berries and we all had a lot of fun out here, but this year we had to change that because there is so many out here," says Ploeger.
"It's catching on more and more as the days go by, but it started probably five or six years ago and you see more and more interest every single day," says Pippett.
If you would like more information on aronia berries, call 712-539-2777.

Common Snapping Turtle / Tortue serpentine (Chelydra serpentina)
This is by far the largest turtle I've seen in the wild in Canada, Its shell measured just over two feet long. Unfortunately the opportunity to photograph this turtle was on a dark cloudy day in the woods. The low light situation, Mosquitoes and dense vegetation made it hard to get a good set of interesting photos. The nasty attitude of this turtle combined with powerful snapping action made it ever so difficult to clear the visual obstacles in front of its head. I decided to rely on a little Photoshop instead of loosing a finger!

Rather than viewing consumers as passive receivers of messages, retailers are encouraging them to play an active role in brand advocacy. One way they are doing so is via social media contests that reward consumers who post product reviews, photos and endorsements. Such tactics can enhance a brand's image by engaging consumers in an impactful way, retail consultant Harold Lloyd said. "Consumers are more apt to believe a message if it comes from their peers," Lloyd said. ...

E3 2012 has come and gone and as you should all know by now, I, Nick McCandless, was in attendance as a member of the media covering the world's premier trade show for video games and related products. While all of the coverage and interviews from the show have been published here on TheGamerAccess.com I wanted to put together a collection of links to all of our coverage including the many interviews with top companies such as Naughty Dog, Sony, Activision, Electronic Arts, and more. Read more for my brief thoughts on our turnout during E3 2012 and the links to coverage we obtained while covering the event.
E3 2012 was unarguably the most successful convention for The Gamer Access since its existence thanks to the wide range of interviews captured, networking that was accomplished, and opportunities presented that will evolve later this year. I could not be more proud of what The Gamer Access has achieved over the past year and while I was the only one from The Gamer Access in attendance during E3, plans are in place for future events including E3 2013, so I encourage you all to stay tuned to what we have coming and thanks again to everyone who supports the content we produce. With that said, let's go ahead and head into the recap of our E3 2012 coverage including links in case you missed anything or would like to view one of the interviews again.
David Jaffe, one of the few legends within the gaming industry to have delivered an experience as epic as God of War and Twisted Metal, was in attendance at this year's E3 Expo to speak with the various gaming icons on opportunities with his new venture. Separated from the company he co-created with Scott Campbell, Eat Sleep Play, David Jaffe is set to venture a new path and deliver a revitalized experience that has failed to appear within the industry.
Because of Jaffe's decision to head a new development and focus on recruiting and partnering with the right people, the director of the Twisted Metal franchise and first God of War was roaming the E3 floor checking out the scene. While visiting Electronic Arts' booth, I saw David Jaffe playing Need for Speed: Most Wanted and could not help myself but to chat with him and ask for the opportunity to interview him on camera.
Watch as I ask him about his outlook on Twisted Metal and how the PlayStation 3 release compared to his expectations, what impressed him early on during the E3 show, and what to expect from David Jaffe's ongoing venture.

The Madden NFL franchise if often viewed down upon because of Electronic Arts' desire to publish a new release each year. Often integrating just minor fixes with a roster update, many gamers have a hard time justifying a $60 investment within the Madden franchise each and every year. With Madden NFL 13, EA is pushing the envelope with their new Infinity Engine that redefines simulation in the Madden series.
For the first time in the Madden franchise, players on the field will fully recognize the presence of the ball on the field. No longer will you see a cornerback swat at a ball without making some form of eye contact with the ball's presence. While Electronic Arts always defines the latest Madden release as "the most realistic" filled with "major improvements" I must say, Madden NFL 13 blew me away.
As with every E3, Electronic Arts' Sports division was in attendance showing off the upcoming Madden NFL 13 and as one who loves the sport, I met with Larry Richart, one of the designers on the gameplay team for Madden NFL 13, to speak on what EA Sports is doing this year to progress the Madden franchise.

Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is the direct successor to the 2010 summer release of War for Cybertron and certainly made a splash at this year's E3 expo. While a majority of the media flocked to Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 at Activision's booth, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron attracted an impressive audience and rightfully so. Delivering upon the success of War for Cybertron, High Moon Studios, developer of both War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron seeks to deliver and experience that exceeds the expectations set by their predecessor.
Taking place after the events of War for Cybertron with the Autobots struggling to defeat their Decepticon foes in battle for their home planet of Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron will deliver a more dark, grimy gameplay experience as its depicts the final battle between the two robot factions which results in the destruction of the Autobot's home world.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is certainly a title to look out for when it launches August 28th, but until then, watch my interview with Matt Tieger, the Game Director of High Moon Studios.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron to Deliver Redefined Transformers Experience (Interview) – E3 2012
The Need for Speed franchise has been the home of many riveting memories in gamer's careers since its debut in 1994 on the 3DO. Need for Speed: Most Wanted looks to take the franchise to a level in which no other racer has reached with a collection of incredible gameplay, stunning open-world environments, endless customization and more. Leaked right before the start of E3 2012, many gamers feel that the Need for Speed franchise has become stale and is often referred to as the Call of Duty of racing games, but after speaking with the teams over at Electronic Arts and Criterion Games, I beg to differ.
Criterion Games, the same developer behind the incredible 2008 release, Burnout Paradise is prepared to bring the Need for Speed franchise back to life and deliver a racing experience that cannot be found anywhere else. Taking the key elements of the Need for Speed franchise and implementing them after fine-tuning them tremendously is Criterion's mission statement and after checking it out at E3 last week, I must say I am blown away.
With an October 30th release announced, Need for Speed: Most Wanted is set to deliver an enticing, heart-pounding experience this holiday season, but until then, check out my interview with Jim Ferris, Marketing Director of Electronic Arts at E3 2012.
Need for Speed: Most Wanted Streamlines Customization with Open-World Gameplay (Interview) – E3 2012
Razer, a computer peripherals manufacturer specializing in products to enrich the experience for gamers, had a large presence at this year's E3 Expo. Whether it is gaming on a console or PC, the gaming experience delivered can often be limited by the peripherals used throughout gameplay. In order to eliminate these restrictions, Razer introduced three new products at this year's E3 including Razer's Taipan Gaming Mouse, Battlefield 3 Razer Blackshark, and Razer Mechwarrior Online Concept Controller.
With an overall goal of revamping the standard gaming experience, Razer is working hard to innovate their technologies , and these three products are prime examples of why Razer has become so successful in the gaming industry. On top of the three products announced during E3, I ask about the highly innovative Razer Blade laptop offering an experience that no other laptop on the market can own up to.
Watch as I interview Hilmar Hahn, Marketing Manager for Razer, to speak on the great products announced during E3 2012 along with the unique features of their recently released Razer Blade.
Razer Presents Revamped Gaming Experience (Interview) – E3 2012
Call of Duty is unarguably the most successful video game franchise this console generation and Activision looks to revolutionize the franchise with Black Ops 2. For the very first time in the Call of Duty franchise, the ninth installment will take players through a futuristic setting featuring future warfare technology and settings. With two connected story lines taking place in the 1970s through 1980s and 2025, the Call of Duty franchise is set to deliver the unique experience that gamers have long cried for.
As you can imagine, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2's release just months away, Activision made sure that the upcoming blockbuster made a splash during E3 2012. As a member of the media, I had the opportunity to check out exclusive gameplay for the very first time and check out what many anticipate to be just "another Call of Duty". For the first time in years with the Call of Duty franchise, I walked away impressed by the gameplay and enhancements made with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.
While capturing footage of the demo shown was restricted, I had the opportunity to catch up with John Rafacz, Director of Communications at Treyarch, to expand on what's new with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, and what gamers should expect when the game launches November 13th.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 The Answer to Stale Franchise (Interview) – E3 2012
When The Last of Us was announced during Spike's 2011 VGAs on December 10th, Naughty Dog's latest project left the industry speechless with outstanding visuals and immersive action sequences. Since its unveiling just six months ago, The Last of Us has continued to stun gamers, especially with its impressive presence during Sony's E3 2012 Press Conference. Displaying amazing visuals combined with incredible combat mechanics led to a standing ovation within the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, where the Press Conference was being held.
Ending the PlayStation Press Conference with a bullet to the head of one of Joel's victims was simply epic and left the gaming community amped for Naughty Dog's upcoming release. Also, following Naughty Dog's track record with Jak & Daxter and the Uncharted franchise, The Last of Us is shaping up to be one of the most technically impressive and entertaining video games to release this console generation.
After viewing a behind-closed-doors session of The Last of Us during E3 2012, I had the opportunity to speak with Jacob Minkoff, lead designer of The Last of Us. Watch as he details what gamers should expect with The Last of Us and how incredible their artificial intelligence system, known as "Balance of Power", truly is.
The Last of Us Defines PS3's Limits (Interview) – E3 2012
The Silent Hill franchise has come a long way since its debut on the original Sony PlayStation console. With over ten releases on more than five platforms, for the very first time, Konami is preparing for the franchise's debut launch on the PlayStation Vita. Developed by WayForward Technologies the same studio that created Contra 4 and LIT, Silent Hill: Book of Memories will focus heavily on connectivity and overhead multiplayer action for up to four players.
Based heavily on puzzles in a top-down view, Silent Hill: Book of Memories takes place in auto-generated zones where challenges are presented. Players must complete these challenges to obtain puzzle pieces which are used to solve puzzles allowing you to move onto the next zone. While this style is unique compared to its predecessors, Konami pledges to staying true to the Silent Hill franchise.
During our tour of Konami at E3 2012, Amie Lynn, correspondent of The Gamer Access, spoke with Tomm Hulett, Producer of Silent Hill: Book of Memories to learn more about its upcoming release on the PlayStation Vita.
Silent Hill: Book of Memories Ventures New Path on Vita (Interview) – E3 2012
When one thinks of gaming, the latest video game consoles are generally the first platforms to come to one's mind with an exception of the small percentage of the market still heavily engaged within PC gaming. Simplicity and marketing has led to this change within the gaming industry and while many do not favor this strategy, it is the way the market has been and will be heading, at least for quite some time.
One platform of gaming that has evolved recently is gaming on social networking platforms such as Facebook. With games like FarmVille consuming the lives of millions of Facebook users, the platform is becoming more popular everyday for the gaming industry and one of the most successful publishers within the gaming industry is looking to become involved.
Konami, publisher of the praised Metal Gear franchise, had a large showing at E3 2012 showing off Frogger Pinball for Facebook, iOS, and Android along with Puzzle Chasers exclusively for Facebook. Amie Lynn, correspondent of The Gamer Access, caught up with Tom DeKeyser, Associate Product Manager at Konami to speak on Konami's plans and what gamers should expect.

LittleBigPlanet was a hit when it debuted on the PlayStation 3 in 2008 giving birth to the "Play, Create, Share" genre. Since its 2008 release, Sackboy has made a second appearance on the PlayStation 3, debut on the PlayStation Portable (PSP), and later this year, the PlayStation Vita. Delivering the complete LittleBigPlanet experience that gamers have come to know on the PlayStation 3, Sackboy is preparing to debut on its third platform and take advantage of the PlayStation Vita's hardware and features.
Featuring a multi-touch screen, rear touch panel, front and rear-facing cameras, and accelerometer, the PlayStation Vita is set to deliver an experience that was never possible with the LittleBigPlanet franchise. Whether its adventuring through the new story of LittleBigPlanet on the Vita, or creating your very own levels for distribution, these features will play a critical role in your experience with LittleBigPlanet on the PlayStation Vita.
During E3 2012, I had the opportunity to speak with Tom O'Connor, Lead Producer of LittleBigPlanet on the Vita, to learn more about Sackboy's upcoming adventure on the Vita and how the Vita's features will be implemented within the portable release.
LittleBigPlanet Gives Birth to Play, Create, Share on PlayStation Vita (Interview) – E3 2012
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, the PlayStation spin-off of Nintendo's Super Smash Bros., excited many PlayStation fans when it debuted on GameTrailers TV on April 27th. Originally announced exclusively for the PlayStation 3, the title PlayStation fans had prayed would come to life finally became official and at this year's E3, PlayStation sweetened the deal further. Not only will PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale launch on the PlayStation 3 this holiday season, but the PlayStation Vita will also host the epic battle of PlayStation characters and support cross play functionality with the PlayStation 3.
Originally a sceptic of how well PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale would turn out and how effective the cross play functionality would run, I was turned into a believer after experiencing the game first hand at E3 2012. Delivering the full PS3 experience on the PlayStation Vita while utilizing the Vita's various features, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale is set to be a huge success this holiday season and deliver the experience PlayStation fans have long waited for.
After completing a match as my favorite PlayStation character of all time, Kratos, I spoke with Andrew Rubino, Senior AI Designer for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, to speak on the cross play functionality presented in the upcoming AAA release.
PS3/Vita's Potential Displayed with PlayStation All-Stars Cross Play (Interview) – E3 2012
Turtle Beach, one of the premiere manufacturers of affordable and premium gaming headsets, had a strong presence at E3 2012 with three huge announcements in regards to the future of Turtle Beach. Designed to enrich the audio experience delivered to gamers, Turtle Beach will innovate upon their technologies to ensure gamers experience the latest and greatest audio-based technologies moving forward with Nintendo's upcoming console, the Wii U. With official licensing from Nintendo, Turtle Beach will provide high-quality gaming headsets for the Wii U platform when it launches later this year.
Turtle Beach has also furthered their relationship with Activision for the Call of Duty franchise by announcing their official lineup of headsets for the upcoming blockbuster, Call of Duty: Black Ops II. As expected after their arrangements for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Turtle Beach will offer a wide range of headsets offering immersive audio experiences with Call of Duty: Black Ops II branding for the most dedicated Call of Duty fans out there.
Lastly, Turtle Beach showcased their SEVEN series headset in preparation for Major League Gaming as the official headset. Beginning in August, gamers participating in MLG tournaments will be taking advantage of these amazing headsets while marketing the Turtle Beach brand.
While at E3 2012, I had the chance to check out all of these products, besides the Wii U headset due to still being in production, and catch up with Ike Sainoi, Marketing Coordinator at Turtle Beach, to speak on these products.
Turtle Beach Wastes No Time with Wii U and Black Ops 2 (Interview) – E3 2012
LittleBigPlanet Karting was announced on March 22nd as the latest collaborative effort from both Media Molecule, developer of the LittleBigPlanet franchise, and United Front Games, developer of ModNation Racers and the upcoming open world crime drama release, Sleeping Dogs. Offering a similar gameplay style of ModNation Racers, LittleBigPlanet Karting seeks to deliver the experience ModNation Racers attempted back in 2010. Providing users with the entire LittleBigPlanet toolset, those who are familiar with both the original LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2 will find themselves at home creating new tracks for the online community to shred their tires on.
Allowing gamers to play, create, and share in an entirely 3D world provides unlimited possibilities as players will be able to customize literally every aspect of the game including one's character, vehicle, track, game mode, weapons, etc. LittleBigPlanet Karting truly is an extension of the Play, Create, Share genre and looks to deliver an enjoyable kart racing experience later this year.
While covering E3 2012, I had the opportunity to speak with William Ho, Design Director of LittleBigPlanet Karting, to speak on what LittleBigPlanet Karting will have to offer when it releases later this year, what we can look forward to as far as customization, how the online multiplayer will work with LittleBigPlanet Karting, and more.

Featuring a revamped combat and weapon system, improved animation blending, promptless mini-games, and new puzzles, God of War Ascension is set to bring chaos never before seen within the God of War franchise.
Also for the very first time in the God of War series, God of War: Ascension will feature will feature a thorough implementation of multiplayer supporting up to eight players with various game modes. What many gamers felt could not be done effectively due to the story-driven nature of God of War has been accomplished by the amazingly talented team over at Sony's Santa Monica Studios and I had the chance to witness it firsthand at E3 2012.
I also had the chance to speak with Mark Simon, Lead Game Designer of God of War Ascension to expand on the story, what's new with the gameplay, what gamers can expect with its online multiplayer and more. In fact, Mark Simon even dares you all to "find a multiplayer game that looks better than ours".
God of War: Ascension's Lead Game Designer Dares You to "Find A Multiplayer Game That Looks Better Than Ours" (Interview) – E3 2012
The Pikmin franchise has attracted a large audience since its debut on Nintendo's GameCube in 2001 and since then, Pikmin has received a sequel on the GameCube and rerelease on Nintendo's Wii platform. Announced during Nintendo's E3 2012 press conference, the Wii U, launching later this year, will further the Pikmin franchise with Pikmin 3 utilizing the revolutionary GamePad exclusive to the Wii U platform. The announcement of Pikmin 3 during E3 2012 brought everyone within Nokia Theatre to their feet providing a standing ovation for the long awaited rebirth of the Pikmin series.
While covering E3 2012, Nick D'Orazio, correspondent of The Gamer Access, had the opportunity to speak with Gil Ruta, media representative for Nintendo, on Pikmin 3 and how it will take advantage of the new hardware and GamePad controller provided by Nintendo's Wii U.
Pikmin 3 Brought to Life with Wii U (Interview) – E3 2012
ZombiU, Ubisoft's upcoming first-person shooter exclusive to Nintendo's Wii U Platform, made a splash at E3 2012 as the console's first announced exclusive mature title. Combining survival horror elements, as a survivor in your standard zombie apocalypse, gamers must utilize the loot, which can be acquired from dead bodies, to survive raging zombies seeking the life of the player.
While you will fight for your life and attempt to avoid death, there will be a time when your life will come to a halt, but will not disappear. Just one bite from these ferocious zombies and you are done, but your character will come back to life as a zombie with a caption detailing the person's name and age. As one who experienced this feature during E3 2012, I must admit ZombiU is a platform seller, at least for me.
During E3 2012, Nick D'Orazio, correspondent of The Gamer Access, had the chance to speak with David Young, Assistant PR Manager at Nintendo, to speak on what ZombiU will offer owners of the upcoming console as well as what else to expect from the Wii U when it launches later this year.

Is chocolate even tastie at all?
I wonder why it was in the candy bar section
just to trick me!
I love dark chocolate that is 70% cacoa, sometimes even higher, but it isn't sweet. More bitter, which I love.
I was thinking today, the pharamcy should sell chocolate lava cakes in their drive through. It's like medicine!!!
I have a lava cake recipe...... It's the easiest thing in the world to make..
In a bowl, take a 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup of flour and 2 eggs, mix until well blended and set aside
On super super low heat, 2 tbsp butter and 2 oz of 70-90% chololate and melt.
Combine the eggs/sugar with the chocolate by folding it in
Pour in to well greased small non stick pot pie tin, or soufle dish and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 for 11-12 minutes.
Remove from the oven and immediately invert on a plate.
Enjoy the choco-high
How does the inside stay runny and the outside isn't?
my DHis my favorite because he just made me nobakes!
I totally disagree that anything 45% and up is just for baking. I can go to about 70% really, really happily. Above that? Not so much.

Yin Yoga/Mindful Meditation Teacher Training (100hr)
Next training starts on September 3, 2016 - December 2, 2016
Are you already a yoga teacher or someone who would like to dive deeper into Self understanding using the tools of Yin Yoga and Meditation?
We at Stillnessinyoga are offering a YIN YOGA & MEDITATION TEACHER TRAINING for teachers and YIN/YANG YOGA & MEDITATION lovers.
YIN YOGA, because of its static nature, prepares our body for longer meditation practices. We learn to surrender to the pose and accept the moment as it is offered to us. Yin Yoga is a very good balance to our yang lifestyle, it de-stresses and teaches us to relax.
"… a fine training in wonderful surroundings, rarely felt so taken care of in body, mind, and soul. Anoshe Overington is a Yin yogini with enormous knowledge and an impressive ability to bring across the practical and spiritual aspects of teaching this very special kind of yoga. You finish the training with sound knowledge and good practice in prop use, careful adjustments, and talking your students through the poses, based on a sound grounding in the yin philosophy in your mind (and heart!)." Beata Wiggen, www.theartofencouraging.com
The training will provide skills that will be of great benefit to practitioners, and when fully integrated, you will be able to share these with your students. You will be given the tools to deepen your practice and learn how to integrate them in your usual yoga class.
The training will be in Dutch and English.
"What a privilege to unwrap this present to myself: 100 hours of diving deep into yin yoga and meditation with The most amazing teachers: Anoshe Overington and Anand Nigam Overington. An experience beyond words..." Maike Schepens
In this training you will receive:
- YIN YOGA floor-oriented poses and sequences for different organ-pairs, following Chinese medicine principles
- Prop use for YIN YOGA and modifications for the poses for beginners till intermediate and for injuries
- YANG FLOW yoga sequences and CHI KUNG series for rhythmic movement in circular or spiralling movements
- Alignment and Yoga Adjusting, through touch, for YIN YOGA and some YANG YOGA
- Breathing exercises from Indian and Chinese Yoga to stimulate YIN or YANG to balance
- Exercises to internalize attention and create stepping stones towards the experience of meditation: out of Indian and Tao tradition
- Mindfulness during asana, and the meaning of Intention
- Meditation Practices active and passive
- The chance to discover the deeper meaning of Yoga and meditation through instruction including Atma Vidya (Self Enquiry)
- Practicing and developing teaching skills for YIN/YANG YOGA and learning to refine verbal instruction towards inward attention
- Introduction into energetic, subtle body anatomy, of the Chinese meridian system and our organs/emotions and its relevancy for YIN YOGA
- Introduction into the Element Philosophy of Chinese Medicine to understand the balance of yin/yang yoga
- Being guided into your personal practice by receiving 3 private sessions:
- Diagnosis by an acupuncturist about your personal imbalance
- One with meditation teacher
- One with YIN/YANG YOGA teacher

U2 Wants Their Own Rock Band Game
Inspired by The Beatles Rock Band, bassist Adam Clayton says they'd love similar treatment.
The band U2 is interested in their own Rock Band treatment, according to a report on USA Today. The bassist Adam Clayton commented on the band's past with music games and how that perception was changed with The Beatles Rock Band. "We definitely would like to be in there, but we felt some compromises weren't what we wanted," he said. "That could change. I love the idea that that's where people are getting music, and we'd love to be in that world. We'll figure something out. What The Beatles have done, where the animation is much more representative of them, is what we're interested in, rather than the one-size-fits-all animation. We didn't want to be caricatured."
After Rock Band managed to snag the holy grail of music licenses with The Beatles, many have wondered what other bands could handle an entire game based on their careers. Led Zeppelin and U2 often enter those discussions, and it's good to know at least one of them is interested in it.

Yes PleasePosted: Dec 15, 2009 12:00AM PST by crimsonhawk52
U2 would be a great band to have a rock band game created after. All yall who say they suck, don't know good music. The fact that Bono thinks he's better than the average bear because he has cool shades and helps people in Africa does not take away from the tracks of U2 that would be amazing to play. I'm not talking about Beautiful Day and Vertigo only. The Unforgetable Fire, Walk On, Where the Streets Have No Name, Angel of Harlem, Magnificent, etc. are all really great songs. System of a Down and other new metal bands don't have HISTORY. Sure they have fun and challenging guitar riffs and drum stuff, but there is no backround to their music. If there is anything to complain about, it should be that U2 should want a Guitar Hero game, not Rock Band. Guitar Hero nails the instruments parts way better than Rock Band ever has. Make a game like Metallica's.
Hmm... Wanting to get in one the money pot?Posted: Dec 12, 2009 12:00AM PST by Naota_391
Seems sort of weird for a band to change it's stance on music games after seeing The Beatles get the star treatment. It's one thing for a person to just talk about wanting something like this, but another entirely if it's made into some kind of press release. Weird.
U2? No thanks..Posted: Oct 09, 2009 12:00AM PST by Mr.Donatti
Late to the bandwangon, U2?
To the poster who wants Pink Floyd: I love Floyd just as much as anyone, but to see a broken up band (with a dead keyboardist) would be the ultimate sellout moment. They never have "sold out" and easily could have reunited multiple times to cash in over the years...but they haven't. Because they have integrity and value their music.
Rock Band: Pink FloydPosted: Oct 09, 2009 12:00AM PST by Imbarkus
This one is so f*@king obvious I can't believe it's not already in the comments. You even have all the imagery already established in the same way as the Beatles. The Wall? Oh my god (that flower scene). Animals (flying pig). Dark Side of the Moon (license Wizard of Oz footage). Meddle, Sid Barrett stuff (acid trip visuals yo).
Plus you'd be playing David f*@king Gilmour guitar! Give fair representation and follow David Gilmour with "Pink Floyd," while you give me some tracks and visuals from Roger Waters solo albums Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking (guitar track by Eric Clapton) or Amused to Death (guitar track by Jeff Beck)!
Who wants to play a The Edge track? What kind of cool imagery does U2 rely on, besides Bono's stubble and suglasses? Rock Band: Pink Floyd!
Maybe not a party atmosphere game but I think there's a whole squad of goth kids out there these days who think the Cure is as far back as they should bother to go.
Personally,Posted: Oct 08, 2009 12:00AM PST by bambamthepyro
I'd rather see ACDC, but whatever.
No thanks,Posted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by basterds_I_view
But to be perfectly fair, I'd eat up a band specific game to Dethklok or Tenacious D.
U2? Nah...Posted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Frizzle Fry
I would like to see a Primus game though!!!
I'd bitePosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by kilgary
The Beatles Rock Band was great because it showed the evolution of the band over the course of a decade. U2 has been around since 1976 and has been culturally relevant for over three decades! It would be amazing to see the same kind of attention to detail Harmoix gave the Beatles - showing these kids from Ireland growing up to become the biggest rock band of my generation. Yes, their latest album has not sold all that well; but the fact that they've had their music on the radio around the world since the 80's speaks for itself. I just don't know if I'd be able to strum as fast as the Edge...
U2 sucks assssPosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Jak-daxter2004
Just make Rock Band 3 for god sakes.
Now if you guys wanna make a Rock band: System of a down I will bow down to you.
I really like U2 but...Posted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by At0mic_Iguana
I'm not a big fan of getting these spin-off games, I want to be able to play all my tracks in one game. Just release it all as DLC. That and i don't think U2 could carry their own game. Too much electronic stuff in the music. Aside from trying to squeak out Bono's vocal parts it wouldnt really be a challenge.
No for mePosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Lord_Mhoram
I'd buy a U2 track pack, but a full game. Nah.
They are good, but I've always felt they were overrated - to me they are just another rock band, a little bit more successful than most.
And I play these kind of games for the music, not the gameplay.
U2 BlowsPosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by nobleeskimo
A "U2 Rock Band" game would suck massive donkey balls. U2 sucks ass and doesn't deserve to be immortalized in that fashion. All their songs are terrible and they are stuck-up jackasses.
Do it! Do it now!Posted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by milkman_v1
As theyre my favorite modern band, i would love it and would make for some well-suited RB gameplay. Theyve always tried to do something different from everyone, and stay cutting-edge (have you seen that freakin Claw?!), and if this ever transpires, maybe that can push the dev team into finding a way to translate that experience into the game.
Screw this...Posted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by slayer0096
i would never playa U2 video game...not because i hate the band..but because its really not necessary
...all of those artist that are getting or will get a stand alone musice game for themselves is stupid...
that can just be DLC..for either RB or GH...i will never pay full price for something that can be DLC...
Id Prefer a Track pack.Posted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Gamemasterflex18
I mean really, could they make a game as good as Beatles Rock Band for U2? Maybe Neversoft would use on of the billion GH games that come out and make it a U2 game, but they are not good enough for a full on experience. I like U2. they are a good band, but they are not worth a full game.
If anyone should get a full game, it's Led Zepplin, Queen, or Bowie.
Does Bono think he's equal to Beatles?Posted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by BoomerKid
The Beatles > U2
Yeah!Posted: Jul 14, 2010 12:00AM PST by BurntHam
U2 is the kind of band that would make for a good full game. Their visual style has changed enough to make the game nice to look at, like The Beatles, and their music is varied enough to keep things interesting.
Also, they are one of my favorite bands, so it would be a must-buy for me. :)
LanoisPosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Lucas.Goudie
If they use only the daniel lanois produced albums i'm down for this.
Done and DonePosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by seriouscrayon
I've never played rock band but if U2 got their own version I'd pick it up in a second. They have some great tunes and would be a blast to play with friends..
FamiliarPosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Dustinator
This sounds like the Metallica issue all over again. Metallica as whole have ego problems just like U2 has. Like U2, lots of people were requesting more Metallica. However some people said they'd die if Metallica got their own game. Well Metallica got theirs and now it seems, U2 want theirs.
I would like to see U2 tracks in Rock Band(Joshua Tree) just as I'd like to see more Metallica tracks in RB. But please, don't make a game about them. Just release their stuff as DLC. That would make me a happy camper
no wayPosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Wii360Ps3_owner
U2 is garbage and all we need now is Bono with a bigger head. Tell him to go to a free concert or something!
NO fucking wayPosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by Wii360Ps3_owner
U2 is wack and Bono is so played out
Spoiler warningPosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by shatterglass
Bono's immense ego will be the final boss.
would love itPosted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by it_takes_ages
big fan of u2, havent played a rock band or guitar hero since, well ages ago, but htis would def have me interested
Not a good idea.Posted: Oct 07, 2009 12:00AM PST by guymonkey
This statement is not due to any bias against the music of U2. My only thought is that U2's music is not very fun and does not lend a hand to the "party" atmoshpere. I have every album and I know a few tunes that would work...but I can't see following the rise of U2 being something my friends would want to do with me. I will say that a cool level would be Bono's persona of the Fly with those big glasses and swagger. Is U2 better than Aerosmith? No dout about about....but it may not make a better game.

Palace Malice displayed his class and character in a victory Sunday afternoon in the Grade 3 Westchester Stakes.
It was the third consecutive stakes victory in as many starts in 2014 for the Dogwood Stable colt, as the multiple graded stakes winning millionaire dominated a short field in the 1 mile, $150,000 race at Belmont Park. Palace Malice won by 9¾-lengths, covering the distance in 1:35.53.
Palace Malices performance, in a race where he was sent off as the 1-9 favorite, has earned him a trip to the $1,250,000, Grade 1 Metropolitan Mile Handicap at Belmont Park on June 7. The bay colt increased his lifetime earnings to $1,961,135.
I thought he would win big, said Cot Campbell, Dogwood Stable president. It was nerve wracking leading up to the race. You never know. The lead pony might step on him. He may get hurt in the gate. Youre sitting on pins and needles. He laid in behind the top two at the start, but when Johnny (Velazquez, Palace Malices jockey) pushed the button and asked the question, he got the answer. He was most impressive, and figured to be. But figured to be and actually being are two different things.
Palace Malice scored victories earlier this year in the Gulfstream Park and New Orleans Handicaps, with the Westchester Stakes being his third added money victory during his 4-year-old campaign.
Hes very professional and understands racing, said Campbell, who wished he could have attended the race, but took great pleasure in watching it on television. He knows what its all about. This is what Thoroughbred racing is all about. Its looking for horses with class and character. God knows he wrote the book on it. Class and character. Thats his middle name.
Palace Malice was trained in Aiken by Brad Stauffer. Hes currently trained at the racetrack by Todd Pletcher.
Ben Baugh has been covering the equine industry and equestrian sport for the Aiken Standard since 2004.

P.F. Chang's admits to credit and debit card theft
Goes back to offline payment taking
UNITED STATES RESTAURANT CHAIN P.F. Chang's is the latest outfit to step up and tell its customers that it has served user credit and debit card data like so much dim sum.
Chang's is following a recent trend of companies that have admitted to a breach and theft. It has taken a rather old school approach, at least partly, and is now taking card payments via the old imprint and sign method.
P.F. Chang's CEO Rick Federico revealed the unwanted takeaway order in a blog post a day after reports linked the firm to a data loss.
He admitted that an incident occurred and said that the firm is working to sort it all out.
"On Tuesday, June 10, P.F. Chang's learned of a security compromise that involves credit and debit card data reportedly stolen from some of our restaurants," he said.
"Immediately, we initiated an investigation with the United States Secret Service and a team of third-party forensics experts to understand the nature and scope of the incident, and while the investigation is still ongoing, we have concluded that data has been compromised."
Federico went into the post-breach playbook and informed blog readers that "the safety and security" of its customers is a priority, adding that customers that still want to visit its restaurants can pay with the old "manual credit card imprinting" system.
The firm has set up an information website where punters can check updates and post questions. However, Federico added that these are early days in the company's investigation, and advised customers to check their accounts and payments for unapproved transactions.
Reports about the leak began to appear on Thursday 11 June. Federico said that the company was informed of the incident on 10 June by the US Secret Service. µ

Celestino Caballero: If I Lose To Barros, I Will Retire
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Celestino "Pelenchín" Caballero could very well be in the ring for the last time on June 18, when he challenges World Boxing Association (WBA) "regular" champion Jonathan Victor Barros in Mendoza, Argentina. Caballero is already returning from a split decision loss to Jason Litzau from last November in Las Vegas. He says another defeat would create closure on his career. He already informed his family that he might walk away from boxing.
"It's not an easy fight. I'll get that crown because I want to be a double world champion and for this I am preparing to make a good presentation to win. I'll tell you that if I lose to Barros, it would mean my retirement from boxing. It's a decision I have made and I have talked it over with my wife. She supports me in this. I will not become a stepping stone for other boxers. If I win, I will continue fighting and plan to unify the WBA featherweight crown with Orlando Salido (WBO) and Jhonny Gonzalez (WBC)," Caballero said.
caba said if he loses then he'll retire.suuuuuuuure you will. anyways any fighter that throws a punch and his shoulder gets to the target before the gloves does should'nt even be in boxing. so why don't you retire before the…Comment by BattleAxePurist on 05-30-2011
Never a good sign before a fight when you openly talk about retiring might have just forgot what it was like to train again and that's giving him the blues.To bad if he don't have it though was always a…Comment by PRBOXINGCOTTO on 05-30-2011

It sucks that a quarterback's season has to start the way Matthew Stafford's did today.
The first-round pick in 2009 out of the University of Georgia left the game in the first half with what the team is calling a shoulder injury, though no further details have been given.
Stafford was dropped by Julius Peppers and came up holding his throwing arm. I can't imagine it would feel good to have that big of a guy land on top of you.
While it's unknown just how long Stafford will be on the shelf, here are 10 reasons why it won't really matter for the Detroit Lions.

Region 5 News Release 04-1486-CHI
Date: Aug. 6, 2004
Contact: Brad Mitchell
Phone: (312) 353-6976
For Federal Workplace Safety Violations
CHICAGO -- Field Container Company, L.P., headquartered in Elk Grove Village, Ill., is facing proposed penalties of $137,500 following an investigation into alleged workplace safety violations at its Marseilles, Ill., facility, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced today.
"Strong enforcement has been one of the keys to this Administration's success in reducing workplace injuries and illnesses to record low levels," said U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao. "The significant penalty of $137,500 in this case demonstrates our commitment to protecting the health and safety of American workers."
Field Container Company received citations for alleged serious and willful violations of federal workplace safety standards. Alleged serious violations included deficiencies related to the storage of flammable liquids and an inadequate flammable liquid storage room, as well as failing to train workers in hazard communication. Alleged willful violations address improper electrical wiring and equipment, and inadequate ventilation.
OSHA initiated its investigation of the Marseilles plant following receipt of a formal complaint. Field Container Company employs more than 2,000 workers at 13 plants nationwide, including more than 100 in Marseilles, Ill.
The company has 15 working days from receipt of the citations to appeal before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.
U.S. Labor Department releases are accessible on the Internet at http://www.dol.gov. The information in this news release will be made available in alternate format upon request (large print, Braille, audio tape or disc) from the COAST office.

Vegan Boots & Shoes
I always have the WORST time finding professional, good-looking dress shoes that are vegan. So does my husband. This week we both found shoes we are very happy with.
My husband's shoe is the JUSTIN, available at Mooshoes.com. It comes in brown and black.
My shoe is the "WOMEN'S CHOICE" by LifeStride, available at shoes.com. It comes in dark brown, light brown, and black.
At shoes.com, you can type in "vegetarian" in the search area and get their non-leather shoes. At zappos.com, they have a vegetarian shoes link on the right side of the screen.
Hope someone finds this helpful!
Here is a article I came across earlier today and wanted to share
Payless shoes selling organic cotton shoes
Article is two paragraphs long
Will be checking this out myself to see where these are made and if the are maybe fair trade. :-\
Oh, thats exciting!
I haven't been to Payless in years....I'm totally going this weekend!
Hello! I've been searching around for some vegan-friendly, sweatshop-free athletic sneakers, and I'm having a hard time finding some. Most of the vegan sneakers I find are more casual style than athletic, can't work out in those!
Any recommendations?
I have New Balance. They're mostly vegan, the only thing that they can't really guarantee is what type of glue was used because it changes constantly.
I have Saucony. A lot of their styles are non-leather, and they only do running shoes. Like CK, though, I'm not sure about the glue, or the conditions under which they were made.
I don't know about sweatshop-free, but I know Onitsuka Tiger has some vegan styles.
Puma lists all of their materials pretty clearly, and I have some excellent animal-free shoes from them.
I have New Balance, but check before you buy them, I think some are made in China and some in US.
I have New Balance sneakers, too. Comfortable and very good wear.
Melissa shoes are pretty cute and funky. If you don't mind the plastic factor, even if they are all recycled.
Melissa's shoes are what my girlfriend wearing right now. She really loves it and she consider one of his best vegan collections.
I like my Sanuk Kingstons.
Draven has alot of Vegan shoes that are super cute! They have a 40% sale going on right now until 4th of July. I just ordered a few pairs, one was only $6!! I made out like a bandit
The web store is www.draven.com or www.buydraven.com and the coupon code is 4TH
Woohooooooo!!! My Macbeth black and purple Nolans just arrived, and they are sooooooooooo comfy!
I had trouble finding information on whether they are also ethical/sustainable in other ways (these particular ones are made in Indonesia, uh-oh...), but veganessentials sell them too, and they say they have quite a rigorous vetting process to make sure products are sweatshop-free etc., so I hope I can wear them with a clear conscience!

CHS' Boutte hopes third time is the charm
CROWLEY – Tonori Boutte has been there before.
The Crowley High sprinter began running track as a sophomore and has steadily improved each season, earning a trip to the Class AAA State Track and Field Championships each year since.
Saturday's championships at LSU's Bernie Moore Stadium will be his final hurrah as a prep thinclad and Boutte hopes the third time is the charm.
"I just want to come out and run well for my team," said Boutte, who will be competing in the 100- and 200-meter dash as well as two of the three relay events. "I also want to show the college recruiters that I can run on the big stage and get a good time."
Boutte, who already has scholarship offers from UL-Lafayette and McNeese and has also drawn interest from Clemson, placed fourth in the 100-meter dash as a sophomore and followed that up his junior year with a second-place showing in both the 100 and 200.
"My first year, I was the only runner from Crowley High that qualified so I went by myself and I was kind of nervous," said Boutte. "I actually did better than I thought I would. Then last year I was second.
"I have progressed each year. I ran a 10.9 (in the 100) my first year and 10.6 last year. My times are going down .3 seconds so I'm hoping to run a 10.3 this year. I ran it already this year so, hopefully, I can do it again."
Boutte will lead a strong contingent of Crowley High athletes into the state meet. The Gents will also be represented on the track by Rontravious Foreman in the 1600- and 3200-meter runs as well as Taylor Doughty, Kristian Allen, Tuskani Figaro, Chanz Moore, Ben Murphy and Davante Bourque in the relays. Qualifying in the field events are Kaleb Cormier in the triple jump and Nick Cavell in the javelin.
"This is the largest group that we've sent to the state meet in a while," said CHS coach Wes Jacob, who was a member of the Gents' last state championship track team (1988). "I don't know the last time we qualified in nine events. We didn't even have nine events when we won it all."
The Gents will have to be on top of their game in order to bring home another state title, however. Erath is the heavy favorite heading into the meet while Crowley looks to be in the mix somewhere in the Top 5.
"On paper, we're looking at fourth or fifth," said Jacob. "Erath looks like the team to beat, but you never know. A point swing here and there and five different schools could win it.
"If we do exactly what is projected, we're going to score about 41 points and there are a couple teams that will have 44 and Erath will end up with like 50. We'll have to have some of our best performances to be in the mix. We don't necessarily have to win each event.
"Heck, in nine events, we're not projected to win any of them. But if we move up one spot here, one spot there, get a point that we're not expected to get, we could have a chance. It's just a matter of taking it one event at a time and we'll see what happens."
Crowley's lone participant on the girls' side is Mercedes Rogers. The sophomore won the triple jump, the long jump and the 300 hurdles at last week's regional meet in Alexandria to qualify for Saturday's event.
"Mercedes has really come around the last three weeks," said Jacob of Rogers, who was sixth last year in the 300 hurdles at the state meet. "She's only been triple jumping the last three weeks. If she jumps exactly what she jumped last week, she's expected to finish second or third in both events. But she jumped a foot further from district to regionals. If she goes out and has one of those days and she's in the groove, anything can happen."
Notre Dame will also be in action in the state meet, sending four athletes in the field events.
Mayme Cook will be making her third appearance at the state meet when she competes in the javelin. Cook won the event last week at the Region II meet with a toss of 133-2.
Kylie Pannell will compete in the high jump after placing second at regionals last week with a leap of 5-4.
On the boys' side, freshman Hunter Stelly threw a 177-5 last week on his final throw to win the javelin and advance to state while Jeremy Smith placed second in the high jump (6-2).
Church Point is sending six boys and two girls to the meet.
Gallen Williams will represent the Bears in the shot put on the boys' side while Tyler Veronie will run the 800 and Rene Veronie will run in the 3200.
The Bears' 4x400 relay team of Tyler Veronie, James Bellard, Desmond Bellard and Zach Meche will also be in action.
On the girls' side, Robbie Dailey will participate in the javelin and Tequila Richard will compete in the shot put.
Field events for the state meet get underway at 10:45 a.m. while the running events are slated to begin at 3:30 p.m.
