Sault Ste. Marie. May 18. - Schooners JOSEPHINE and ALOHA collide at Lake George Flats this morning and the JOSEPHINE went to the bottom. The collision occurred very nearly where SUSAN E. PECK sank last season, completely blocking Lake Superior navigation for a week. The channer is nearly blocked and vessels must use extreme caution in passing the wreck. This is her first collision in Soo River this season.
The schooner JOSEPHINE, which is reported sunk today in the Soo River is an old vessel, built in 1857 and owned by Toledo parties. She registers 280 tons, and is valued at about $4,000 and rates B 1, Plus.

Two well-known Hollywood conservatives who were in the room weren't exactly feeling Streep's address. And at one point, the camera panned on them and mediate got this reaction shot.

Hi! I don't think you will find a person on this forum that has not gone through what you just described. That's what makes this disorder so insidious and cruel. We 'look' fine. I don't think I look fine 'gimping' through a grocery store humped over a cart counting the minutes until I can get out of there. I believe I have had this since I was a teenager...long before fibro was even known to the medical community.(I am 64 years old now) Over the years, I have been dx'd with anxiety, IBS, peripheral neuropathy, RLS, 'chronic pain disorder'...all before fibro finally was recognized and defined. I have been taking somekind of OTC pain medication since I was twelve years old for all kinds of aches and pains. And yes, because we go through periods of time when we can actually function, most fibro illiterate people think we are just hyperchondriacs. My son just told me the other day that one of his co workers has MS, Lupus and RA and comes to work every day...God Bless her. I know he told me this to put my pain in perspective and I really try to do this. Many of us have other disorders that cause pain also, along with fibro, including myself. I think one of the main problems with trying to get others to understand, is that this disease is multi dimensional and there are so many other issues that compound the problem...not just pain. The Fog can be the worst...and the up and down all night long trying to find a place to sleep that is comfortable, which in turn causes fatigue.
I just keep on keep on, and know that I will have good days. And oh yes...I love it when some stupid doctor tells me this disease is caused by parasites...or the abundance of anti biotics that plague our food supply nowadays. My favorite...pounds of bacteria ridden feces that stay lodged in the colon wall for years. Uh, no. I have heard it all!
This is no Social Crisis... Just another Tricky Day (The Who)

'Time for Britain to control borders' says leading Conservative organisation
BRITAIN must get a grip on immigration and regain control over its porous borders, a leading Tory grassroots organisation has demanded.
Central to the plan outlined in ConservativeHome's pre-election manifesto are calls for tougher limits on EU migration.
The proposals heap further pressure on David Cameron following worrying figures last week which showed that net migration was 243,000 in the year to March, up from 175,000 the year before.
Under the ConservativeHome proposal Britain would take control of borders back from the EU and existing immigration targets would be replaced by a points-based system, emphasising the skills needed for economic growth, similar to one used in Australia.
New immigrants would be required to buy their own health and welfare insurance cover and access to public services would have to be "earned".
If this is the only thing Cameron goes for, he may just get something back but for many EU leaders this issue remains a clear red line and it involves sweeping treaty change, so failure would be the most likely scenario
The plan is supported by YouGov polling, which indicates that seven out of ten voters want free movement within the EU scrapped, rising to nine out of ten among Tory voters.
Introducing caps on EU migration is not impossible, according to Mats Persson, the director of Open Europe, a think-tank that looks at European reform.
He said: "If this is the only thing Cameron goes for, he may just get something back but for many EU leaders this issue remains a clear red line and it involves sweeping treaty change, so failure would be the most likely scenario."
The ConservativeHome manifesto contains other proposals designed to unite the party.
They include creating garden city corporations to build homes in places such as the Thames Estuary, an official ceiling on national debt, scrapping the HS2 rail plan to give the savings to northern cities, changing the tax relief on pensions to help working people save, higher national insurance thresholds and the creation of a UK sovereign wealth fund.

CULLMAN, Ala.(WIAT) – Three teenagers gave their families the scare of their lives overnight after disappearing without so much as a trace.
Luckily, they were found unharmed.
The initial call kept Cullman County sheriff's deputies busy Monday night into Tuesday morning. Two 13-year-olds and a 14-year-old had gone missing.
All three were found just after 8 a.m. at a church in the area. According to authorities, the teenagers decided to run away.
For Allen Owen, reuniting with his son was joyous, but he was puzzled as to why Zack and his friends had put them through the toughest 13 hours of their life.
"I don't understand what possessed him to do this, I really don't," Owen said. "We've been having little nicks and knacks at home like normal parents and everything, but I guess he doesn't think he's loved or something. I don't know."
A situation such as the one that took place in Cullman is a parent's worst nightmare. Owen says this event is a prime example that no matter how much you nurture your children, you can never know what could possibly be troubling their minds.
UAB psychologist Dr. Josh Klapow says it's important to note that as a child ages, so should the tone of parenting and communication.
"If you ask your teen a question, if you give them a chance to talk and think, you'd be surprised at what they may say," Dr. Klapow said. "They may not say today, they may say it tomorrow, they may say it next week."
Dr. Klapow says now is the perfect time to have a talk with children and discuss things like self-image and peer pressure now that school is back in session.
As for Owen, he says he plans to spend the remainder of Tuesday trying to make sense of what happened, hoping that it will never happen again.

Master Of Puppets: Blurt's Ted Milton Interviewed
Sean Kitching
, May 9th, 2014 04:21
Ahead of a live streaming gig on Saturday (see the foot of the feature for cheap tickets),Ted Milton of art rock, jazz punk 'situationists' Blurt talks to Sean Kitching. Photographs courtesy of Rene Castelljn
The English poet, puppeteer, provocateur and musician Ted Milton is best known for his experimental art rock group Blurt, who were founded in 1979 in Stroud, Gloucestershire. As one of the early Factory records signings, they shared bills with the likes of Joy Division and A Certain Ratio before offending Tony Wilson by comparing the label to the lifestyle-chain Habitat. Also championed at the time by John Peel, the band have been through a number of lineup changes but never really went away, and continued to release albums and singles on a number of different labels, the most recent being 2010's Cut It! Now in his early 70s, Milton remains a compelling and energetic performer with a unique perspective on the history he has lived through. Ahead of their Saturday night gig with Shabaka Hutchings' (of Sons of Kemet fame) new group The Comet is Coming and Myriad Forest, at the Total Refreshment Centre in Dalston, I caught up with him at his studio in Deptford.
I know you started out as a poet before deciding to pick up a sax, did you have any original poetic influences? I mean what was it that led you towards that?
Ted Milton: Well, I started writing poetry as kind of way of avoiding doing something else. Basically, I didn't want to do any homework... or anything to do with school at all. So I sort of found myself writing this sort of whimsical shit, which was in stanza form and therefore poetry. I think I was about 11 or 12 and one or two bits of English poetry began to get to me, in spite of it all. I think the English teacher had something about him... you know, I didn't resist him as much as all of the other teachers. I think he did manage to impart something of what could be found in literature. Then when I got to be 15 or 16, then of course I fell under the influence of the beats, Ginsberg and Kerouac and all of that. And then I discovered the Russians, [Andrey] Voznesensky and [Vladimir] Mayakovsky and these people... and that blew me away totally. And then of course, at the time in Liverpool they used to do shows with [Roger] McGough and [Brian] Patten, [Michael] Horowitz and on the odd occasion Pete Brown.
I totally identify with what you are saying about not really accepting the stuff you were supposed to be interested in at school. About needing to find your own interests...
TM: For me, I was a little colonial brat. By the time I was 11 I'd spent equal numbers of years in Canada, Africa and England, in innumerable little institutions and after that I had three secondary schools and I was expelled from each one of them. Not for doing anything that interesting, or violent - as is fashionable today. For some reason I just resisted the whole thing. I can't be dissuaded from my prejudice that the whole of the educational system is geared towards making people stupid. You know, to go through hoops... to be taught not to think. By and large you know, and there's got to be a lot of exceptions, I think by and large that's what's going on. That's why there's this whole massive generation of disaffected, empty youth... who express themselves with shiny pointed things. It's like Pavlov said, the rats which are the most confused little monsters are the most easy to control.
Talking of puppets... how did you start working with them?
TM: Yeah, that's weird. In the 60s, at that time I was living in Long Acre and people were getting really pissed off with me sort of sponging all the time. You know, 'I'm a poet, so you can buy the next round.' One day I saw an advertisement saying that someone was needed to work in a puppet theatre. So I applied and got the gig and went up to Wolverhampton and found myself working for this marionette company with metre high, hard wood carved, really heavy marionettes, sort of back breaking stuff, Hansel and Gretel, the Lost Princess and stuff. But there was something about it that really fascinated me, so I started making lots of drawings and I came away after a year or two and built my own theatre and marionettes and I opened up for a season on the west pier in Brighton. Then I moved into other forms... glove and mixed media stuff and did that for about 15 years. I was much more successful doing that then I've ever been with music...
So this was before Blurt?
TM: Yeah, I mean, I packed the Roundhouse doing a one man show... but I got more and more frustrated with the public and my shows got more and more unpleasant and aggressive. The Blue Show was sort of gratuitously nasty and designed to empty seats, which it did. I was invited up to Sheffield, to the Crucible, where they had three plays in rotation and one of them was a Dennis Potter play...
Was it Brimstone And Treacle?
TM: I don't know... but what happens is that you see this brain damaged girl getting shagged onstage...
That's Brimstone And Treacle... She's getting raped by the devil - which rather perversely is what brings her out of her coma.
TM: Me, I was really offended by that frankly... but the audience seemed to think that was fine. And every night you'd get two different plays and my puppeteer sequence, as the Blue Show, was one of them. So then, they'd get their diaries out and stuff and read them whilst the set was being changed and I'd start my puppet show. Then you'd get to this point in the puppet show where... after Inspector Deep Throat Porker had been nasally impaled by Constable Parker and vomited wet-look Union Jacks, they'd get up and leave, because I knew where to hit 'em.
They found that worse than the comatose girl being raped by the devil...
TM: Yeah. And you know, this guy came up to me at the time, he was my accountant because I had an accountant at the time as I was making money and he was also on the committee of the Crucible and he said to me: 'Ted, how can you treat people like that?' And I felt so gratified [laughs]. I had a great big workshop at the time, I was living in Stroud in Gloucester and I'd be cooking up all these different scenarios and was obsessed with the whole thing. You see, if you read Jarry [Alfred Jarry, the creator of Ubu Roi and an early precursor to the surrealist movement] I think you'll find that probably his writings about theatre are more interesting than his theatre. And, you know, Ubu Roi was first performed with puppets... he hated actors, because as you will have noticed, and as he wrote down, actors betray the author's intention because they crave applause. Also, because of the eye contact, the audiences maintain their defences, which is where that expression the suspension of disbelief comes in. But you see, with marionettes, the eyes are dead and therefore people become vulnerable and I realised all of that. I really went down that road big time until I got to an impasse where to me, it was just war. And anybody by definition, who wanted to come to a puppet show, I just wanted to upset. So that just kind of came to an end and that's when I got into the so-called music thing, because in a way I'd been inside a box all this time and it was great to come out of that and let it flow. It was a great kind of cathartic release for me. I'd just been winding myself up more and more...
When you decided to start a band, where there any other bands that you saw that inspired you to do that?
TM: I hardly saw any bands at all really, although I realised recently watching a 1964 Howling Wolf performance at Birmingham, which is so great. You've gotta see this... it's just the intensity of the guy's performance, just blows you away. I never saw a huge amount of live music, but I always listened to a lot of music. At the time, when I formed the band, I was listening to some rock & roll, Chicago blues, bebop... I was very much into Bartok. We played in Budapest before the wall came down and we had so much money, I went and bought all the vinyl I could literally carry and most of it was Bartok stuff, versions by the Hungarian state orchestra... And also, you know, I'm mad about North African music...
So the jazz influence wasn't so strong?
TM: Well, I was mad into Ornette. I think I was much more influenced by him then than I am now...
Was that behind the decision to pick up a sax?
TM: Not really. I tell you what happened was simply that a good friend of mine dropped by the house one afternoon and in the course of conversation said: 'I'm selling my sax.' And I dunno why, but I said, well let's have a look at it. Because I knew I was trying to find a way out from the puppetry. And I looked at it and said, do you mind leaving it for a couple of days.. and that was it.
How long did it take you to get a reasonable sound out of it?
TM: Well... very fast. I started performing with it within a couple of months and I had been playing for such a short length of time that my embouchure just crashed... and I couldn't play after about 20 minutes, because my lip just gave way. But the range of tones and approaches you can get out of a sax, simply because of the myriad variables, in the reed and the mouthpiece... The gig we're playing on Saturday night, the guy said, you know its an improv night so you can loosen up. And I thought well, if you want an improv band, get an improv band along. My personal response to that very well intentioned remark is to make it as tight and as harsh and as attacking as possible. Blurt in any case, is very kind of powerful rhythmically and that is what the band's about... and then also what it's about is all the variations that take place on top of that in terms of the vocal sound and the saxophone sound, that is often very extremely improvised...
The times I've seen you play, you get a really great response from young audiences, which I think is a fantastic vindication of what you do. That's because of the fact that it is so strong rhythmically, that it is danceable...
TM: Exactly. I mean, I think the guys who are on with us on Saturday night, listening to a little fragment of what they do, have sussed that as well.
Certainly Sons of Kemet, which is Shabaka Hutching's other band have done that. I mean, to see someone playing a Tuba of all things and getting this kind of response...
TM: When we tour, it seems to go two ways. For example one of the shows we played in Frankfurt recently, the guy who promotes it loves the band, he's been putting it on for 20 years... but the audience come in, and there's a couple less each year and many of them are on zimmer frames and many of them bring well-creased albums from the 80s up to me for me to sign... but its ok. On the other hand, we played at a festival in Provence a couple of months ago and we played to very nearly 1,000 people and there were people there that were there for us for sure, maybe even as many as 100 but.. we tore the place down, people were screaming and shouting, people were dancing and I know that we can connect with the people that go out now, who as it happens are younger...
Did you ever see yourself as a new wave or a post-punk band at the time?
TM: I'm not really sure what new wave means... ah no wave, new wave... like those American people James Chance and the Contortions. When we first had a record out and a reviewer mentioned James Chance and also mentioned Captain Beefheart, neither of whom I had heard of, I went down to the record shop and listened to them and thought, fuck, that's a drag - because I could see the connection straight away.
But you liked them?
TM: Yeah, I liked James Chance and Beefheart very much... but certainly as the years have gone by, we've gone further and further away from sounding anything like them...
I think the main similarity with James Chance is his sharing the desire to break through the audiences being too staid, you know, wanting to provoke a reaction...
TM: And I could never really understand why people said we had anything to do with punk and at the time I never liked punk music at all. But now I've started to see at as more of an attitude, and I realise that yeah, perhaps we were punk in that respect.
For me, I've always been more interested in post-punk. Stuff like Pere Ubu or Public Image Ltd.
TM: I just love Metal Box. Lydon is just amazing... some of that stuff is so emotional, his voice is so keening, like you'd hear in some sort of Egyptian music or something, just amazing, the intensity of it... I really, really dig it.
Do you have any particular memories of playing with those other Factory bands?
TM: Only a bit... I mean Joy Division. Again, they're a band that I started listening to again, only a couple of nights ago I came across one of their tracks, the one with the line "When we were young"... it almost makes me cry to think about it. You know the one I mean?
I think it's called 'Insight'.
TM: Yeah, that's the one. I was fighting back the tears listening to it. The thing is, at the time I was so up myself that I just thought that nobody could come near what we were doing and I wasn't remotely interested in the other bands. I mean, when we were doing those shows with Joy Division and A Certain Ratio and stuff, I barely bothered to listen to them. As years have gone by I've started to listen back to some of that stuff and realise that some of it is goddamn awesome and I'm coming to be a Joy Division fan.
Do you feel that the experience of playing live has changed much from those days? The way that you are treated as artists?
TM: Oh god yeah, the climate is really different. Say four or five years ago we played in Bucharest and the reaction of the audience was kind of similar to when we started playing in the early 80s. They come to it fresh from having been deprived and listen to it more acutely... everything here is... well, there's hardly any energy to be found anywhere. Nobody wants to pay a dime for it, they want to get in for free. Performance is just a means to getting a record deal.
I've seen people watch an entire gig through their iPad...
TM: I know! For example, if you say people have watched something like 500,000 murders on the TV in their life and then they see something happening in front of them... there are kind of filters between you and real experience and some kind of immediacy seems to have disappeared... maybe its just me being slightly jaded or something (laughs).
Finally... and this is a silly question next. Do you remember who Frank Sidebottom was? The guy with the weird papier mache head?
TM: Yeah, I remember the name...
He was a cult musical comedy act. But somebody now has made this into a film starring Michael Fassbender in a papier mache head and its being described as a biopic of an avant-garde band. So I was wondering, given that someone would make a film out of something like that, could you one day envisage a Blurt biopic and who would you like to play you?

Travelling to Perth Airport this weekend
As the Gateway WA project moves towards completion in the vicinity of Perth Airport, work needs to be undertaken this upcoming weekend (14 to 17 August) which will involve some road closures.
The transformation of the road network is continuing at a rapid pace and, as a result, road closures are being put in place to allow the project team undertake work over the course of the weekend safely and efficiently.
The traffic notice detailing the road closures and detour routes is available on our major traffic changes page. These road closures are subject to weather conditions.
Signage on the ground, such as variable message signs, will guide motorists through the area.
Please factor extra time into your journey when travelling to and from Perth Airport.

[duhl-suh-mer] /ˈdʌl sə mər/
Also called hammered dulcimer, hammer dulcimer. a trapezoidal zither with metal strings that are struck with light hammers.
a modern folk instrument related to the guitar and plucked with the fingers.
noun (music)
a tuned percussion instrument consisting of a set of strings of graduated length stretched over a sounding board and struck with a pair of hammers
an instrument used in US folk music, consisting of an elliptical body, a fretted fingerboard, and usually three strings plucked with a goose quill
late 15c., from Middle French doulce mer, variant of doulcemele, perhaps from doulz de mer, said to represent Latin dulce "sweet" + melos "song," from Greek melos "melody."
(Heb. sumphoniah), a musical instrument mentioned in Dan. 3:5, 15, along with other instruments there named, as sounded before the golden image. It was not a Jewish instrument. In the margin of the Revised Version it is styled the "bag-pipe." Luther translated it "lute," and Grotius the "crooked trumpet." It is probable that it was introduced into Babylon by some Greek or Western-Asiatic musician. Some Rabbinical commentators render it by "organ," the well-known instrument composed of a series of pipes, others by "lyre." The most probable interpretation is that it was a bag-pipe similar to the zampagna of Southern Europe.

This post is mostly for the google search archives - there is really nothing to see here - but when I went searching no one had definitively posted that this particular charger worked with the Model S.
The Ford Focus EV home Charger by Leviton works fine for charging a Model S.
For those of you that don't know Ford had a Ford Focus EV home charger made by Leviton
Leviton doesn't list the the exact Ford charger on their website - but it's clearly marked with a Leviton brand on the charger itself. It's close to (but not exactly) like this standard Leviton charger…
full range of Leviton home chargers are here…http://www.leviton.com/OA_HTML/SectionDisplay.jsp?section=37741&minisite...
It uses a 40 amp (NEMA 6-50 plug) circuit and charges the Model S @ 32 AMPs at 16-20 mile of range per hour (the variation is dependent on where the battery is in it's charge cycle, empty battery charges faster than nearly full battery) - and so far for the past week the Ford/Leviton has been my primary home charger. So far so good, the Ford Focus EV home charger will charge a Model S just fine.f
I'm looking forward to my HPWC from Tesla - since I'll have a bigger AMP circuit and faster charging rate.
Again no surprise here, it's a J1772 standard plug so it was expected to work with no drama.

Hi, we are spending 3 nights in Mendocino in late August. Looking for input on options of driving routes in general and a potential side trip to Bodega Bay, Occidental, Jenner areas. We fly into Oakland at 9:00 a.m. (carry on only) and will rent a car so I estimate we'll be on the road by 10:00 a.m. We would like to arrive in Mendocino by 7 p.m.
I've read about beautiful scenery along the Russian River and the charming towns, Freeport, Occidental, Coleman Valley Road, the Bohemian Highway, etc. We're interested in natural beauty – we do not drink so we won't be tasting. Can this area be seen as a quick side trip – and if so, what specifically is recommended? Or is it too far out of the way and better for another time on it's own?
Options straight to Mendocino:
1) Highway 1 all the way to Mendocino - drive through Bodega Bay and Jenner but skip Occidental etc and exploring off the coast
2) 101 to 128 - keep it simple
3) 101 to Orr Springs Rd/Comptche Ukiah Rd instead of 128 (take 128 on the way back)
Options with side trip described above:
4) Hwy 1 from the Bay area to Bodega Bay - explore side trip described above – Hwy 1 to Mendocino (I don't think we have time for this option)
5) 101 to Hwy 12 or 116 (which one) – explore side trip – then back out to 101 and 128
6) Or a hybrid route using Hwys 1 and 101 – Which part of Hwy 1 is more scenic? Bay area to Bodega Bay? Or Bodega Bay to Mendocino? Or would it save time to skip Hwy 1 all together? I'd be willing to skip Hwy 1 if it makes the side trip doable.
I apologize I'm a bit all over the place on this. I just can't seem to get a clear picture even though I've mapped and done a lot of research. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks so much!

The most scenic part of Highway 1 is Jenner to Mendocino. The road in from the Russian River to Jenner, Highway 116, is also very scenic but so is the road in from Petaluma to Bodega Bay. I would not go 128 or by way of Comptche.
I would go Highway 116 through the Russian River and start on Highway 1 at Jenner. Even though I have been driving this road at least twice a month for 30 years, I still find it incredibly breathtaking - just watch for cows!
Let me know if you have any other questions.

I've lived in the Bay Area for 39 years and had never heard of Freeport, CA until this thread. Is it scenic/quaint?
Report Abuse
You might find it difficult to make it to Mendocino by 7, with some of these alternate Hwy 1 ideas.
The fastest way in is to go 101 to 20 and straight across.
Report Abuse
It doesn't take nine hours to drive form Oakland to Mendocino!
When dI covered Bay Area sports, it took me less than three hours to get from Gualala to Oakland to San Francisco. Even if you are sightseeing along the way and stop a couple of times, it should take no more than six hours, tops, so you'd be in Mendocino by 4 p.m.
Occidental and Freeport are just tiny spots on the road. There is really nothing to see there. I don't know where you got this info. Jenner is a cute little town right on the water and if you went Highway 1 up the coast from there, you could stop at the Fort Ross State Historic Park, founded by the Russians in 1812 and the Kruse Rhododendron Reserve. The Timber Cove Inn is a lovely place to eat lunch or you could continue on to The Sea Ranch or Gualala.
Highway 101 to Hwy. 20 is not my idea of a scenic drive at all.

The Bodega Bay area is nice as is very close to Bay on a nature preserve with dear, fox, all kinds of birds and walking areas on the Bay/Ocean.
Bodega Bay Lodge is a quiet place to stay esp the Ocean Club Suites & great restaurant with peacecful water view over the preserve--look for specials--google Bodega Bay lodge specials.
Spud Point cafe has some of the best seafood but you have to eat outside.
Having sunset dinner at Jenner Rievers End where the Russions River meets the ocean is a one of a kind experience. The beach is very wide here and you could also have a picnic as well.
One of the most beautiful places IMHO is Armstrong State Redwood Park short drive inland from Jenner. Easy hikes along a forest stream, amoung the forest of redwoods--there is an outdoor ampitheater where you can look up and see the sun streming thru the redwood trees and if you are quiet you will hear the bluejays.

So sorry; I meant Freestone (not Freeport). I read an article I think it was Westways magazine about Occidental, Freestone and another little town as quaint with shops and at least worth driving through. Maybe not?
Report Abuse
Hi Ellie May,
These are not quaint little towns, they are literally stops on the road. Occidental is best known for its Italian restaurant, Negri's.
If you drive in from Petaluma, Valley Ford is more of a quaint little, very little (two blocks) town, with a couple of well known restaurants, Oyster Rockefeller's and Dinucci's. The town of Bodega, where the church stood in for the schoolhouse in "The Birds," is also a quaint little stop on the road but you would have to turn off the main road to get there.
Bodega Bay does have some really great places to eat, and the clam chowder at Spud Point can't be beat. But The Tides, the spot where most of "The Birds" was filmed, has been completely renovated over the years so it now looks nothing like it did in the move.
The River's End in Jenner is, indeed, a really nice place to eat and look at the view.
If you are looking for shops, Gualala and Mendocino would be the best places with many art galleries, boutiques, etc.

I am struggling with some of the same issues, although we are certain of going up Hwy 1, we are going all the way to Portland. So, it is hard to know how much time in any section. Gualalalisa seems to think that it is very doable to sightsee and get from San Francisco to Mendocino on the same day. I had some people say that they thought this might be too ambitious if we want to see anything on Pt. Reyes. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Report Abuse
Thanks, everyone!
Lisa, I think we are going to adjust our plans by skipping Occidental etc and head straight for Jenner for a nice lunch. Would you suggest taking 116? Or the road from Petaluma? Then we'll take Hwy 1 on to Mendocino.
Also, just curious, why do you recommend against 128 or Comptche? I have definitely heard these were both scenic options.
Thanks for all the info!
Report Abuse
Hi McBoulder and EllieMay,
Mc, if you are going to stay on Hwy. 1 all the way (that you can) that would be a long haul, including a lengthy drive over Mt. Tam in southern Marin. I would recommend getting on Hwy. 1 at Olema, just south of Pt. Reyes, coming in through central Marin at the San Rafael exit off 101. That is one beautiful drive and certainly doable.
EllieMay, yes I would say 116 - you get to see the Russian River and lots of redwood trees line the road. To me, living here all these years, I guess I'm spoiled, and 128 and the Comptche way are OK but really nothing special if you have the chance to drive up Hwy.1 from Jenner to Mendocino, the world's most spectacular drive, IMHO.
And to both of you:
The posted sped limit on much of Hwy. 1 is 55, a speed tourists rarely achieve. In fact, most visitors go about 30 miles under the posted speed limit. So if see Gualalalisa behind you (midnight blue Toyota sports car) and she has to get somewhere, could you guys please pull over? There are numerous turnouts as well as lots of places to drink in the view.

Haha - you got it Lisa!

From the ethereal and whimsical to the downright bold, you can always count on the couture runways to serve up dreamy hair and makeup inspo.
Couture beauty looks have a reputation of being notoriously kooky. And sure, some of them are still out-there. But this season saw a softer approach to haute hair and makeup—simple looks oozing with casual and effortless glamour. Here, the 13 beauty moments we'll be dreaming about from the spring haute couture runways.
At Chanel couture, the models walked the runway in show-stopping embellished silver gowns. There was enough glitz to distract you from perhaps the biggest news of the day: the models all walked with a smattering of silver glitter highlighter along their upper cheekbones. It's safe to say the glitter and highlighter trends aren't going anywhere.
A gown this pink, ruffled, and poofy would typically call for a hairstyle that mimicked all it's intricacy. But that's why we love the direction Giambattista Valli went in this season: the models' hair was simply pulled back into a textured ponytail and secured with a simple black elastic.
When the collection is called "Orange Vibrations," you can bet that the beauty look will take the theme seriously. At Armani, makeup artists painted the models' eyes, lips, and cheeks in a flush of cheery orange pigment.
The hair at Chanel was swirled and rolled into sleek hair buns by hairstylist Sam McKnight.
At Schiaparelli, a simple plait was upgraded with a black ribbon headband and a scrap of black tulle placed loosely around the elastic.
We'd never think to pair loose waves, dark nails, mauve lipstick, and barely-there makeup with a Crown Jewels-worthy tiara, as seen backstage at the Alexis Mabille spring 2017 couture show.
Your go-to festival beauty look is now a couture-level statement. At designer Maria Grazia Chiuri's first couture collection, models walked down the runway with metallic stars scattered across their cheeks. Makeup artist Peter Philips placed the stars where you might dab on highlighter—the inner corner of the eyes and along the outer cheekbones. To instantly brighten the models' eyes, he lined them with Diorshow Khôl High Intensity Pencil in #529 (a creamy beige liner), launching this May.
At Francesco Scognamiglio, basic metallic hair barrettes were transformed into something much more high-fashion, simply by grouping them together in an unusual pattern. Lined-up horizontally along the back of a bun, dead-center on the part, or along the front of the models' hairline, the pins added an element of toughness to the collection.
Magic was in the air at the Dior couture show. That translated to models walking through the overgrown garden-maze setting in black hooded robes, masks shaped like insects, and feathered headdresses sticking out of ethereal curls.
At Maison Martin Margiela, makeup artist Pat McGrath and hairstylist Eugene Souleiman joined forces to weave scarps of string all along the hair, face, lips, ears, and eyes.
At Georges Hobeika, the hair was pulled back into a sleek half-up knot. It served as the perfect canvas for a set of statement-making ear accessories.
The spring ready-to-wear collections brought '80s beauty back in fashion, and that trend continued with couture. At Alexandre Vauthier, the models' hair was gently curled, fluffed, and flipped over to one side. It was voluminous, retro-inspired hair done in a 2017 way.
At Elie Saab, makeup artist Tom Pecheux traced a combination of black and blue eyeliner along the models's eyes before winging it out into a dramatic and graphic flick.

text: Okay, for those of you unfamiliar with this model, it's a single shot, break open, SAO shotgun; the one I've got is a 12 gauge, at least it is now. I, just tonight, discovered that New England Firearms was bought out by Harrington and Richardson, but it appears that the design of the New England shotgun really hasn't changed. I want to trade up my 12 ga. barrel for a 20 ga. the 12 ga. barrel is damaged. The H&R site tells me this: I get all that, but I'd also like to refinish the stock and forend with something a little shinier, the finish on it now is pretty dull and unimpressive. Will my taking off the stock after they've "proof tested" it make a difference? Or should I refinish it before I send it in? Also, I'm going with the 20 instead of the 12 for recoil reasons. I remember shooting a box of low brass bird shot when I was younger and it left a nicely colored bruise on my shoulder, there's no weight to these things!; plus I may gift it to one of my kids when they get a little older. Also, what are everyone's thoughts on the now H&R rifles?

It's go time people, and by "Go Time" I mean that by the time I get off of work today there are less than 24 hours until my little weekend visitor steps off of his Air Canada flight and is tortured by customs before hopefully running into my arms and spending the most magical romantic weekend with me. Rather than the feelings of pure joy and excitement that I imagine most normal human beings would be feeling right now I'm having a nervous breakdown. Exciting life events have the ability to transform me into a completely neurotic panic induced mess, which explains my decent into madness around Homecoming/Prom each year in high school and also why I will undoubtedly be a Bridezilla when the time comes one day. I'll allow you to take a peek inside my head the past 24 hours (although there is no guarantee you'll want to stay there).
- I want to make sure this is the best vacation he's ever had. EVER. IN HIS LIFE,
- Hmm, just a minor set The five day forecast predicts heavy rain storms and every single activity I have planned is outside.
- I hope he brought a rain poncho.
- Maybe I should make a sign to hold up for him at the airport.
- But what if my cute greeting sign gives away my lack of artistic ability? Was I pretending to have artistic ability to begin with? Why would I ever pretend that?
- If I make a sign and he criticizes my artistic ability he doesn't deserve someone as thoughtful and sweet and caring and loving and emotionally unstable as me anyways.
- What if I decorated the house with streamers and banners and a cake and wine for when he gets there?
- Starting to think it's best that I don't look like I've dedicated the past two weeks to preparation for his arrival.
- Project "Look like You Have a Life" is officially underway.
- Guess that means I don't have to clean the house like a manic person.
- On second thought, if I clean the entire house and then just happen to leave a few papers on the counter it will look like I'm just naturally perfect and pristine and I just casually didn't bother to clean up my teeny tiny mess. Nailed it.
- Back to the wine…does having wine prepared for his arrival make me look like an alcoholic?
- Is he going to think I'm trying to get him drunk and take advantage of him?
- Do guys ever even think that?
- OH MY GOD what if I look different than he remembers?
- What if he thinks I'm ugly now that I'm pale?
- What if he forgot that my hair feels like straw and then he touches it and can't help but let out a verbal display of disgust?
- What if he notices this white dot on my arm and is so repulsed he never wants to see or touch me again but can't change his flight so he is forced to pretend to like me all weekend just to flee back to Seattle on Monday and never talk to me again?
- This is getting slightly dramatic. The clear answer is just to wear long sleeves the entire weekend and then he'll never notice the dot on my arm anyways.
- If I take him to the pumpkin patch is it too cliché?
- Is it weird that I've already planned out the outfits I'm going to wear everyday that he's here?
- Or that I keep having dreams that said outfits will get lost in my closet and I'll be left with only stained sweatshirts and flannels?
- Or the reoccurring nightmare that he will lose his passport and I'll be left crying alone at the airport? Not too over the top anxious right?
- Still can't decide if wearing heels to pick him up at the airport at 11:30 at night says
"This girl is trying too hard" or not…?
- If I have a panic attack and die before he gets here my dress for the ball will go to waste and no one will ever be able to tell me if I can pull off red.
As you can see it's all fun and games over here in my little brain. I can't decide whether or not it's best to lay off the caffeine for the next 24 hours as a sort of tribute to my mental health or if the withdrawals will be too much in a time of crisis. Please keep reminding me that boys don't generally fly across the continent just to overanalyze your skin tone and break your heart.

Stuart Gray is on the Wednesday shortlist after impressing Milan Mandaric.
The Owls chairman is also weighing up the pros and cons of appointing Neil Warnock.
Mandaric knows that if Warnock got the job then it would probably divide the fan base because of his Sheffield United background.
Owls left back Joe Mattock, who also played on loan for the Blades in early 2011, is "unsure" about how it would work out if Warnock came to Hillsborough and believes the players "wouldn't be disappointed" if Gray was given the job.
Mandaric told The Star last night: "I am putting Stuart on the shortlist. He deserves it.
"As far as Neil is concerned, I am very much aware of the emotions of some of our supporters."
The chairman is a believer in unity and wants everyone to be pulling together at a difficult time.
He is wary of disrupting Hillsborough togetherness but is equally aware of Warnock's managerial record.
A decision has yet to be made, and Mandaric is declining to comment on the current size or composition of the shortlist.
The team's performance against Leicester was an excellent start for Gray as caretaker boss and he has been put in charge for the home game against Forest.
Mattock commented: "The players are comfortable with Stuart.
"He knows what we want. He's been with us for a while now. Obviously he's always going to have his opinions.
"He's been given the chance in the last game; maybe he'll get the chance in the future. I think maybe the lads would like to see that.
"I think he's confident in himself.
"If he can get another chance and we can get another win, that would help him massively."
When asked about Warnock, Mattock said: "I'm not too sure. From what I know, he's from the other side of Sheffield. I don't know how well that would go down with the fans.
"So I'm not sure he would be the right man. If he did come I'd give 100 per cent. At the moment we're going to focus on what Stuart has in line for us and hopefully keep playing well for him."

Royal Canin German Shepherd 24 dog food is for German Shepherds over 15 months old. The German Shepherd has a notably fragile digestive system. Unique protein sources, like soy, and soluble and insoluble fibers promote optimal digestion. The alkaline skin of the German Shepherd predisposes them to 'hotspots'. A synergistic complex of vitamins and amino acids are included in this formula to support the skin barrier. Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) are included to help build natural defenses, along with vitamins E & C, lutein and taurine to help reinforce the German Shepherd's immune system. Supplemental glucosamine and chondroitin help support healthy joints and reduce inflammation in the aging dog.
This supreme formula offers complete and balanced nutrition for German Shepherds, while also addressing the unique health needs of this breed. Since digestive sensitivity is often an issue with German Shepherds, MAXI is formulated to alleviate digestive problems by improving digestion and absorption, protecting and nourishing the digestive tract and improving the consistency of stools. MAXI is also formulated to protect the immune system, reinforcing the natural defenses and combating oxidative stress. German Shepherds are also sure to love the smell, taste and texture of MAXI.

If auditNetworkProducers is off (as it is by default) a reforward (because of a missing send reply) will be a duplicate.
If the initial messages is still in the store the duplicate will be trapped by the message cursor but the message remains in the store. So on a restart the cursor is fresh (unless in the case of jdbc when there are still messages in the store) and the message gets redispatched. In the jdbc case - if the store/destination is empty there will be a resend b/c there is no sequence state to replay.
Duplicates detected by the cursor need to deal with the duplicate message - moving to the DLQ makes the most sense - the cause can indicate the reason to allow separation from poison due to redelivery failure.
Client duplicate detection currently uses a poison ack, so this makes the behaviour consistent.

need to deal with duplicates to prevent eventuall delivery from https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-4924
when the cursor detects a duplicate the message is removed and referred for DLQ processing with a reasonCause of "duplicate from store"
Thus it does not remain "stuck" till a restart. The typical use case where this can occur is with a duplicate forward from a network connector that fails before getting a send reply happens after the original message has been dispatched. So the store does not trap the duplicate but the cursor does.
dealt with the audit false case and duplicate in pagedInMessages - now redirecting to DLQ and removing from the store in that case also
JDBC store does not have a separate index to trap the duplicate that is still inflight. Also, cursor audit window may be too small for some use cases.
If there is a valid usecase where duplicates are acceptable we can revisit but all tests currently pass with the change that 'outlaws' and deals with duplicates.

The life of a celebrity is never away from gossips and rumors, whether they be true or fake. At present, the victims of these vicious rumors are Albert Finney and his wife Pene Delmage. There has been a big rumor flying about that the couple is getting divorced.
An English actor, Albert Finney has two children named Simon and Michael. He is currently leading a successful married life with his third wife Pene Delmage. They got married after a relationship of 1 year in 2006.
Happily together for the last 9 years, the couple has always supported each other. His wife, Pene, stood beside him when Albert fought against his cancer in 2011. After disappearing for his treatment, the actor was back again in the screen.
Our sources close to the actor have revealed that Finney always has his wife to support him in his bad days and has never felt alone. Pene seemed quite worried when her husband was fighting against kidney cancer. He almost died. But his wife was there to support him both physically and morally.
After many unsuccessful relationships and two successive divorces, Finny finally had a long term relationship with Pene. May be due to this particular reason, their relationship is the target for rumors of separation. On the contrary, an insider close to the celebrity has clearly mentioned that they have a sound marital relationship. Furthermore, the insider clearly denies any probability of them getting divorced.
Albert in one of his interview mentioned that he is exceptionally happy to be with Pene. Furthermore, he added with a smile, "I'm a born flirt, and that will never stop, but I would take things no further. I'm loyal and content."
Well, Albert's fan can now be happy for all these reports were just rumors. This man, who likes to keep his profile low, wishes to lead the rest of his life with the only woman he loves.
This courageous personality was born as the son of a bookmaker in Gritty Salford by Manchester. He studied in a local Grammar school and later acquired the membership of Royal Shakespeare Company.
Albert Finney, age 79, began his career as an actor in a theatre. He performed in a play by Willaim Shakespeare, which was quite successful. Later in early 1960s, he began achieving prominence in movies as well as TV shows. He is well known for superb performance in movies like Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, Tom Jones, Annie, The Dresser and many more. He also directed a movie called charles bubbles.
He was nominated for the Oscars five times. In 1968, he won an Olivier Award for Orphans. He also won three Evening standard Theatre Awards for Best Actor.
Sources have disclosed that Albert Finny has a net worth of $10 million dollars.

Nowadays, we unfortunately have not yet achieved a means of mutual understanding. Caring about how people from different countries and cultures act, communicate and perceive the world around them would seem to be a fundamental, overarching skill of any member of a globalized society.
Intercultural communications courses will come in handy in any modern day work environment. For instance, how would you deal with a situation where a member of your office posted an offensive video on a company blog? Intercultural communications coursework will equip you with the expertise necessary to manage the situation with grace, tact, while showing the minutest respect for your fellow workers.
Although, some shameful violations of intercultural etiquette still take place on a much larger scale.
Take Spain for instance; a modern European country, one of the largest economies in the world, which enjoys a high standard of living and an active member of a number of transnational organizations. The legacy of its formidable global empire can still be felt today, with more than 500 million Spanish speakers, making it the world's second most widely spoken language.
Yet this apparent sophistication still gives way to ignorance. Take the 'Negro de Banyoles' – the mounted and stuffed corpse of an African bushman that remained on display at a Catalan museum until late 2000- the 21st century! This controversial piece of taxidermy was ultimately returned and laid to rest in Botswana.
And let's not forget the official photos of the Spanish Olympic basketball team in the run up to the Beijing Olympics in 2008! This was taken for a Spanish Basketball Federation advertisement. Completely inconsiderate without a shred of thought having gone into these photo ops? Yes, of course. The apparent lack of awareness that these photos would cause any controversy is almost laughable.
But let's not forget that these sorry excuses for sophisticated intellectuals are not a reflection of Spaniards in general – like anywhere else in the world, there as many a**holes as there are respectable, friendly, and highly cultured people. Individuals well-equipped in the way of intercultural communications will be able to avoid such insensitive faux paus, and command more respect from their fellow co-workers rather than making enemies in the workplace.
In an increasingly globalized world, and with the worldwide phenomenon that is the internet, it's such a cheap shot to take some user generated video and pass it off as justification for your own pretentions and prejudice. With just a little understanding, we can take the discourse up a notch and not succumb to the lowest common denominator.
One careless individual, with a penchant for 10 year old news, making sweeping statements about another nation or culture isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. Don't be that guy and jump on the intercultural communications bandwagon already!

PITTSBURG — When Rajnesh Naicker started teaching physics at Pittsburg High School seven years ago, his advanced placement class had just 16 students.
Today, he teaches two periods of AP physics, with a total of 60 students enrolled. And in 2015, the school will offer AP chemistry for the first time.
The school's science offerings are just one example of the ways the Pittsburg Unified School District and local educators are focusing on curriculum with real-world applications, Naicker said Wednesday during the 2014 Pittsburg State of Education address.
"If we look at the way jobs are being created in science, engineering, technology and math, it's growing exponentially," Naicker said. "(Education is) moving in the right direction thanks to some very good leadership."
The growing importance of science education was a frequent theme during the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce-sponsored event, where local education leaders touted progress in their K-12 and community college districts while also highlighting areas ripe for improvement.
"Pittsburg's schools are doing phenomenally well," said Contra Costa County Superintendent of Schools Joseph Ovick.
Ovick noted that the overall dropout rate for the county's 173,000 K-12 students is lower than the California state average, and its graduation rate, at 80 percent, is higher than the state's.
Part of that achievement, Ovick said, results from recalibrating to play to students' interests and to arm them with the skills to thrive after high school — whether that's in the workforce, trade schools or traditional higher education.
"Not all kids need to get a bachelor's degree, but all young people have to be lifelong learners," Ovick said. "They need to know, they need to explore, they need to dig deeper."
Pittsburg Unified Superintendent Linda Rondeau echoed Ovick's thoughts, noting that the national transition to the common core curriculum means that "all public schools are in a new era."
"Flexible communication and collaboration along with innovation are skills that absolutely translate into the workforce," Rondeau said.
That being said, she also proudly noted that the number of Pittsburg High graduates who go on to four-year universities has more than doubled in the past four years.
But along with that success is also room for improvement in areas such as student engagement and shrinking the achievement gap between different ethnic groups, said Los Medanos College President Robert Kratochvil.
To that end, LMC has been adding student clubs, outreach efforts and mentorship programs aimed at helping retain students who may be discovering for the first time that a post-high school education is within reach.
Kratochvil said the importance of diversity in education is now accepted as a given, and that "the word equity is even more important today than the word diversity."
From a bricks-and-mortar standpoint, LMC hopes to build a new student activities building where students could study or participate in activities in between classes. Kratochvil cited research that shows students' academic success rates climb as they spend more time physically on their campuses.
That project would hinge on the passage of Contra Costa's $450 million community college property tax bond, Measure E, on June 3.
To cap off Wednesday's event, several of Naicker's science students, just back from the Contra Costa Science and Engineering Fair, demonstrated their winning projects.
Among them was a solar-powered, smart lighting system designed to increase safety and conserve energy in parks and other outdoor spaces. In addition to snagging a second-place award, the project was recognized by the Yale University Science and Engineering Association as the best engineering exhibit.
This year was the first time in 24 years Pittsburg students had entered the fair.

Hosmer Lake
Hosmer Lake is one of the most scenic lakes in all of Oregon boasting beautiful views of snow covered Mount Bachelor and South Sister. At almost 200 acres, Hosmer is an intimate lake. Combine that with is relatively shallow depth of 3 to 12 feet and you have a recipe for a perfect fly fishing lake. This pristine lake is fed by snow melt from the surrounding Cascade Mountains and is kept clean by not allowing the use of gas motors on the lake. The clarity allows these fish to critique every aspect of your presentation, so our guides will teach you some great techniques to fool these fish.
This catch and release, fly fishing only lake harbors Atlantic salmon, Rainbow trout, recently introduced Cutthroat trout and massive Brook trout. This lake is a Damsel fly factory, producing consistent dry fly activity all season long! This can be some of the most exciting dry fly fishing you will ever experience with fish aggressively.

Atari - Gone: Single-Player, Narrative-Driven
New Infogrames President Phil Harrison has spoken to Gamasutra about their upcoming Alone in the Dark title and the future of Atari. Along the way, he embraces a social online model and says they will be moving away from AAA single-player, narrative-driven games:
Great…. So I don't have to check out upcoming Atari products anymore. Saves me time and money. Thanks, Mr. Harrison. Really appreciate the upfront info.
The market continues to move away from me… :(
Oh yes more sandbox games - possibly subscription based - is what we need.
I want to say this would be a problem if they want to continue producing games with the D&D license exccept rumours are consistently putting that franchise in this direction. One wonders if 4E is aprt of the cause.
My intuition heavily points me towards an (A)D&D MMORPG - sooner or later.
Alrik ;)
So they want to repeat that D&D Online mistake? I thought they're already deep in the red.
Oh well, there are a lot of smaller devs who are actually still making nice singleplayer games (don't mind MP options for those who need it), albeit even they tend to make games for the casual mass market these days.
We're a dying breed, I suppose, haha.
I can't stand online games… can't stand 'em! I'm a very social person in real life, but I have no desire to play a game with thousands of people in it at the same time… it just bores me.
As many of you may remember, this is the only website where I post regularly on the forums. There are a lot of very cool, diverse, well read people on this site… and it's a pleasure to read their opinions. But I don't need to pay a monthly fee to listen to a bunch of L33T K3WL DUDEZ ramble on in a game.
To me… in a PC game you are supposed to feel like the "Main Character"… possibly the "Hero", or the "Villain". In any type of MMO game you are just another of a thousand people who are all doing the same thing. BORING!
So… I'm so happy that I have about 180 games on my shelves that I will gladly play over and over if it ever comes to the state where all game companies are making online only games.
Actually I am glad that Atari won't be destroying anymore of the games I look forward too. They have ruined several games that I would have liked because of there deadlines and their greed.
Will this concern Atari Europe too? I really can't see how a satisfactory sequel to The Witcher can be published under this new banner. I hope CDProject can get themselves a new publisher…
I'm not so much against online games - actually I'm still dreaming of playing with people I know ! :) Cooperative, of course ! ;)
But I'm very much hesistant on that, because I feel that online gaming already has developed its own kind of … policy ? Culture ? Yes, I think culture is the best word to express what I mean.
And I fear that I might not fit into it.
(Currently, for example, I'm wondering whether I should join any Batlefront I server or not …)
I bet Publishers will be throwing themselves on the doorstep of CDProject to get the rights to publish The Witcher…So I say don't worry about this
Alrik, playing online is fun in certain situations. Our Team Corwin NWN sessions are a hoot, but that's due to the people playing, not the game itself. Similarly, I play GW online with Cm, but then it's basically just the 2 of us working co-operatively on quests and GW has no monthly fees. As for playing with tons of strangers; NO WAY!!
Goodbye Atari. Hello indies/European Devs.
I have this sinking suspicion that I will not be buying too many AAA games in the near future. I'm seeing more and more indies that are filling this supply gap that the devs and publishers are creating. I'm really looking foreward to Frayed Knights, Eschalon 2, U6 project (technically not an indie), AOD and Grimiore (if it is ever released that is.)
I've said this a million times but I think the future for our genre lies in Europe. CDprojektRed looks like they're really serious about supporting their product and whether you love em or hate em PB is still doing Gothic like games as well as Jowood. So European publishers/devs and indies. Our genre doesn't look like it's in bad shape to me.
Edit: I've got a question that has been bugging me for awhile maybe someone who's smarter than me can answer it. Why don't these pubs/devs create CRPG's that are less expensive to make?
Instead of investing millions and millions of dollars on a game that doesn't have such mass appeal like a narrative RPG SP game, the devs and publishers only spent 1 or 2 million to create it. That way realistically they could make a profit. It won't be a blockbuster like GTA4, but if it geared toward our little niche and sold world wide then it will make a profit or is it just the blockbuster hits that the publishers are interested in?
It's simply competition and profit. If you invest lower the chance of profit is high but profit itself is low. However, the more you put in production the higher the stake is but at the same time the higher the profit will be if it hits.
Moreover, Publishers try to compete with each other. Let's say Gothic 1 and 2 are not highly invested in projects(just guessing here), what made PB and Jowood invest a lot more in Gothic 3? The "success" Oblivion made was definately a major reason. Every publisher wants to be the Elite and make more profit.
I wanted to reply and say that surely people were misreading his comments.. but he sounds pretty clear!
But don't forget he's only talking about games they make - so I presume Eden will be concentrating on games like Test Drive and other multiplayer/micro-content exploitable games. I don't see why that'll stop them from distributing games like The Witcher and stuff from Obsidian etc.
I think it's kind of a wheel in motion: One bringts out an even better AAA game - so the measure has been place much highter.
This is like what we call in German "Wettrüsten" : Everyone tries to be on top of the other one with even better things, further on, further on.
I think that's an vicious circle. At one point, EVERYTHING will break up / down from this, because no-one is able anymore to make *such* increadibly high-end games that at the same time deliver atz least *some* profits - simply because the costs have risen too high.
Except of course the Mega-companies like EA, who will dominate this high-end market, then (the Rolls Royce of games).
I believe that the increase of so-called "casual games" is the first step away from this vicious circle, but the "big ones" aren't aware of this - or in other words: aren't aware that this concept of smaller, less cost-intewnsive "casual games" could be applied to AAA games as well.
I wonder when the first one will make BBB titles - and voice this out clearly !
(And besides, no-one makes AA or even A titles - only AAA. So, where's AAAA ?)
Edit: Someone ( I think it was the German Werner 'Tiki' Küttenmacher - once wrote: "… And the people will always buy newer, better hardware - until they won't do it anymore."
I think that's it: People will most probably become fed up with it at one point in the future.
yep it is going already for a while and it will continue: more attention for mmo. I tried several but they are allmost all the same: grind and level. No story, or as good as none. Never liked it.
Sp games are still the best
I do like multiplayer too but I dont like players who break the immersion. The first time I entered the village I was shocked to see a finnish pornstar running around alongside with the american president.
gw? Guild Wars? is it only one time fee or is it paying monthly or so?(like WOW)

Empowering Global Collaboration
Spearhead Africa - Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Living in Tanzania as an expat since 1998, Monalisa has seen the word leadership and commitment defined in more ways than one. It took working at a local radio and TV station for Monalisa to realize that advertising and communication are what she loves. During three years in the media and another few managing a cellular brand at an ad agency, her love for advertising grew. That ignited her passion to start her own agency, and she launched Spearhead Africa in 2007.
Monalisa's client-centered approach includes understanding a client's business before developing strategic communications to help grow the business, a strength that helped her grow her agency as well. Her leadership and entrepreneurial spirit are reflected in the success and consistent growth of Spearhead.
"To do anything different and amazing, you have to step out of your comfort zone and step into the place where the magic happens," she says, and that has been one of her guiding principles. Having the sole responsibility of running the agency including overseeing business development, staff recruitment, training and motivation, managing ongoing marketing projects, negotiations and handling obligatory business finances, Monalisa has honed her skills to efficiently manage a successful agency.
Another of her strengths lies in understanding the local market and how to provide the right marketing solutions for a brand to connect with its consumers and then to implement the solutions at the highest level of delivery - where a client's every cent is leveraged for efficiency.
She is proud of the long-term partnerships she has with her clients. Among the leading brands she has worked on are Deloitte, Fuso (trucks), Huawei and Samsung. If Monalisa were not involved in the high strung agency profession, she reckons she would be in the music industry playing as lead guitarist with a rock band. Although she owns an electric guitar, her busy work schedule barely allows her to admire it in passing.
