For this Christmas Eve dish, calamari is simmered in a sauce of stewed tomatoes, vinegar, onions, garlic, pepper flakes, and sprinkled with parsley. A simpler version of Feast of the Seven Fishes.
What does Christmas smell like to you? Maybe it's the sharp, resinous scent of freshly cut pine trees or the warm, enveloping fragrance of cinnamon and nuts in freshly baked cookies. But to me, Christmas smells like squid.
We did not do the famous Feast of the Seven Fishes at our house when I was growing up. My mother, who was born and raised in Chieti, in Abruzzo, Italy, had never even heard of this ritual until after moving to the U.S. in the 1950s. She's convinced it's just one more Italian-American mistranslation of her beloved homeland's culinary traditions, much like bologna, stuffed shells, and red clam sauce. That's not to say we didn't eat fish and seafood on Christmas Eve—we just never knew we were supposed to count them.
Many seafood dishes have come and gone from our celebratory table over the decades. We typically serve fedelini with tuna and tomato sauce as a first course, although once or twice we've made linguini with clams instead. There was a sautéed whiting streak in the '70s, an oysters-on-the-half-shell era during the '80s, and a flirtation with skate, both fried and sautéed, in the '90s. And during the last decade or two we've seen a dalliance with shrimp cooked retro-style with white wine and garlic. My mother also cooked eel two ways—broiled as well as agrodolce style with olives, raisins, and vinegar—for quite a few years simply because it was something her mother had cooked on Christmas. (Mom gave up after nearly a decade, finally admitting she was the only one who liked them.)
But no matter what else my mother brought to the table, there was always her luscious, richly sauced Calamari in Umido per la Vigilia di Natale, or Christmas Eve calamari. Everything else took a backseat to it. I haven't had a Christmas Eve without it.
In the 1960s and 1970s, before squid were popular in the Unites States, my mother would place her order well ahead of time at the fish market. The squid were sold whole and not cleaned, so early every Christmas Eve morning she'd set about these messy, time-consuming tasks. I can still see her standing over the kitchen sink, meticulously peeling off every last bit of gray skin with her fingernails, working out the thin interior bone, snipping the sacs into rings, and slicing the creepy tentacle crowns into bite-size pieces.
As kids, my sister and I would watch her tend to the squid, transfixed by the creatures' curly tentacles. Did we ever offer to help? Hell, no. We wouldn't have touched those slick, tubular bodies or alien tentacles in a million years, though we somehow had no problem devouring the "creepy crawlers," as we called them, once they were bathed in Mom's sauce (and after we'd tirelessly poked and prodded them with our forks).
And these calamari are all about the sauce, which requires no exotic ingredients, just onion and garlic, a little chopped tomato, wine, parsley, and a hit of vinegar at the end. The making of it certainly isn't complicated, although the results suggest otherwise. As the calamari braise, they turn from pearly white to clay red and become exceptionally tender and infused with flavor. They, in turn, impart a wonderful, nutty sweetness to the sauce, which takes on the perceptibly briny taste of the ocean as it thickens. It was—and still is—just the perfect thing to mop up with a chunk of crusty bread.
Mom's calamari has remained a constant on our Christmas Eve table. However, now that my sister and I have grown up, things have changed a little. A few years ago my mother finally allowed me to take over the Making of the Calamari. I, of course, buy the squid already cleaned, as they're still quite a lot cheaper than most seafood. Truth be told, I feel a little like I'm cheating by avoiding the hard labor. My mother seems to feel this way, too, given that she always feels compelled to sift through the package when we get home, as though looking for imperfections. And even though she's constantly singing my culinary praises to her friends and neighbors, I can tell she's always a little surprised when my calamari turns out just as good as hers.
We've also begun to count the number of fish and seafood dishes at the table. For this we have my sister's husband, Tony, to thank. He grew up with the practice and insists that we abide by it, too. As much as my family loves to eat, none of us can quite stomach the thought of preparing and eating seven (seven!) fish courses. So I make a very un-Italian smoked salmon spread and we end up opening a tin or three of sardines or smoked clams, and we're usually able to hit the magic number. But as far as I'm concerned, we could open six tins of fish. Because when it comes to our Christmas Eve feast, if you do the math, there's only one seafood dish that counts. Originally published December 20, 2010.
Christmas Eve Calamari
In recent years, I've noticed a most troubling trend: disappearing tentacles. It seems many restaurants no longer serve calamari. They serve only calamari rings—typically fried so as to appear like a pile of tiny onion rings. There's not a tentacle in sight, presumably because they're a reminder of what one is actually eating. The truth, however, is that the calamari tentacles hold much of the flavor. They also add texture and quite a startling visual appeal. And kids do love them. (I speak from experience.)–Domenica Marchetti
*How to Buy and Store Calamari
The creepy, otherworldly tentacles Domenica mentions above are still commonly available, along with their accompanying sacs, at many seafood counters. To select impeccable calamari, look for white, shiny specimens that look slick and smell like the sea. Store them on ice in your fridge for no more than a day. Although fresh is lovely, frozen squid can sometimes be fresher in the sense that it's not been sitting around unfrozen for that long and compromises little, if anything, in taste or texture. Simply thaw under cool running water immediately prior to using.
Christmas Eve Calamari
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- 2 pounds cleaned calamari (fresh or frozen), both sacs and tentacles, washed and thoroughly dried
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 large cloves garlic, passed through a garlic press
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- Generous pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped oregano leaves
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- One (14 1/2-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
- 8 slices rustic Italian bread, plain or toasted (bruschetta)
- 1. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut the calamari sacs (bodies) into 1/2-inch-wide rings. Cut each crown of tentacles in half lengthwise to yield bite-size pieces.
- 2. In a large sauté pan with a lid, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring from time to time, until softened and translucent, 7 to 8 minutes.
- 3. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic and the salt to form a paste. Add the paste to the onion in the pan and then stir in the red pepper flakes and oregano, mixing everything thoroughly. Add the calamari and stir to combine. Sauté for a minute or two. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the wine, and let the mixture bubble for 2 minutes. Pour in the tomatoes and their juices, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover partially, and simmer gently until the calamari are tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
- 4. Uncover and continue to simmer gently until the sauce has thickened somewhat, up to 15 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook, uncovered, for 2 more minutes. Taste and season with salt if desired. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley. Spoon the calamari and sauce into shallow bowls and serve with the bruschetta or bread.

ADA Policy
Florida Atlantic University is dedicated to the philosophy of equal opportunity to all goods, services, benefits, facilities, and privileges for all in the most integrated setting. The University is committed to providing an environment free from discrimination, protecting the rights and dignity of potential and current employees, students, and visitors regardless of disability status. FAU works to ensure that individuals with disabilities are treated fairly and equal to individuals without disabilities in all University activities including, but not limited to, employment, academia, services, benefits, social events, activities, and research on any of FAU's campuses.
Florida Atlantic University complies with all federal, state, and local laws and guidelines that provide individuals with disabilities protection, including, but is not limited to: the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 , as amended through 1998, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 , as amended, the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987 , the Florida Civil Rights Act of 1992 , and the Florida Educational Equity Act which require that otherwise qualified individuals may not, on the basis of disability, be denied access to, participation in, or the benefits of any program or activity operated by the University.
It is further the policy of the University to enable individuals with disabilities to participate as independently as possible, facilitating enhancement of campus life and enrichment of the University community as a whole. People with disabilities must be full members of the educational community. FAU recognizes that traditional methods, programs, and services may not accommodate the needs of some individuals with disabilities. It is important to keep in mind that each person's situation is unique and must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Discrimination against a qualified individual with a disability, in any form, undermines the mission and values of the University, negatively affects the careers, education and experiences of the entire FAU community, and will not be tolerated. Each member of the University community has the responsibility to ensure that this policy is enacted in their daily practice.
Frequently Asked Questions:
_______ Who is an Individual with a Disability?
_______ Who Constitutes a Qualified Individual?
_______ What are Essential Program Requirements?
_______ What is a Program, Service, or Activity?
_______ What are Reasonable Accommodations?
_______ What about Physical Campus Access?
_______ What about Accessibility in Campus Life?
Who is an Individual with a Disability?
A person is considered an individual with a disability if the person:
Who Constitutes a Qualified Individual with a Disability
A qualified employee or applicant with a disability is an individual who, with or without reasonable accommodation, can perform the essential functions of the job in question.
A qualified student with a disability is one who meets the academic and technical standard requisite for admission or participation in the educational program or activity.
What are Essential Program Requirements?
Essential program requirements are the legitimate academic or professional standards or the skills needed to safely participate in activities. These requirements are considered indispensable. They are so central to the activity that if they were changed, it would create disparate results. For example, data entry would be an essential job function of a data entry professional position. If data entry were removed from the job requirements, the original intent of the position would cease to exist.
Essential program requirements do not need to be changed because that change would fundamentally alter the program, activity, or service, thus causing an undue burden. Another example: debating would presumably be an essential program requirement in a debate course. Therefore, if a student was unable to debate with or without a reasonable accommodation, the student would no longer be a qualified individual because they could not complete the essential course requirements. To learn more about these view specific accommodation pages for employees , students , and the public .
What is a Program, Service, or Activity?
These terms refer to all of the operations of the University. This includes, but certainly is not limited to, accessibility to classrooms, course content, employment, concerts, housing, and libraries. Less commonly thought of programs include graduation, parking, bathrooms, cafeterias, and extracurricular activities.
What are Reasonable Accommodations?
Florida Atlantic University is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, when requested, affording equal opportunity to facilities and services offered. A reasonable accommodation is a modification to an environment, policy, procedure, or an auxiliary aide/service that enables qualified individuals with disabilities to participate in programs, activities, and benefits offered by the University. There are no extra fees associated with accommodations. Please see Accommodations for Employees with Disabilities , Accommodations for Students with Disabilities , or Accommodations for the Public web pages for specific instructions on the process of requesting accommodations at FAU.
What about Physical Campus Access?
Florida Atlantic University is constantly evaluating its campuses physical environments to ensure accessibility for all individuals. While not all of FAU's buildings need to be accessible by law, FAU works toward total accessibility. FAU also attempts to proactively assign classrooms to match students' mobility needs. However, if you have been assigned to a space that does not meet your needs, please request the reasonable accommodation of a new room reassignment from the appropriate personnel. The FAU community is strongly encouraged to host all events open to the public in the most accessible space possible.
What about Accessibility in Campus Life?
At Florida Atlantic University, we strive to provide successful options to students with disabilities making every reasonable effort to accommodate each individual's needs. We know that all disabilities and chronic illnesses are unique, and the needs of each student will be unique as well. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific needs for accommodations and visits.
Students with disabilities are encouraged to participate fully in all University events, programs and other campus activities. Our goal is to assist you, provide comprehensive services, and ease your transition into campus life at FAU.

How Do You Stay Entertained In A Recession? Used Video Games.
Video games are up, and books are down. GameStop says sales of used games jumped 32%, as the retailer posted a 13% rise in fiscal first-quarter earnings. Why is GameStop doing so well while other retailers suffer? Its used video game program has excellent profit margins.
From the WSJ:
New-game software sales slid 2.8% while new hardware sales rose 17%. Sales of used games jumped 32%.
The company has benefited from a virtual monopoly in the used-games market. But it is now facing competition from Amazon.com Inc., which launched a service allowing customers to trade in games for store credit.
GameStop, which is based in Grapevine, Texas, opened 114 new stores during the quarter. In February, it said it planned to open more than 400 stores this year
Meanwhile, investors are actually happy that Barnes & Noble didn't lose as much money as they thought they might. Guess they should start selling used books, huh?

But this is no average gathering of the math club were dealing with here. This is a neverending parade of freaks, geeks and pimply ass cheeks. It may be called Average Joe 2 Hawaii, but aint nobody getting leid.
The show starts with a barrage of shots of a bikini-clad Larissa Meeks, the latest victim. Larissa is way hot. Of course this means I hate her. We learn that Larissa thinks love at first sight is possible. The caveat being that love at first sight is possible if you are looking at Andrew Dan-Jumbo. What Larissa doesnt know yet is that there will be no Andrew Dan-Jumbo on this show. Plain old jumbos, however, will be readily available.
The opening montage shows scenes from the upcoming episodes. We see Larissa making out with hot guys and wearing an enormous amount of makeup. We also learn a little bit about her. Shes a 24-year-old artist from St. Louis and the 4th runner up for the 2001 Miss USA pageant.
Larissas downfall in the pageant was the interview competition. So, do you think expecting her to carry her own show where presumably she will have to talk is a good idea? Of course it is because she won the swimsuit competition. Like anyone cares about her personality.
Now its time to meet some of the Average Joes. Im all atwitter with excitement!
First up is David, 24. David can best be described as a motorized hairball on a stick. He confides that he used to be a nerd and that people have called him poop head before. Weve since learned that David is also an actor. His credited roles include Geek, Sandwich Geek, Geek on Scooter and Background Geek. Gosh, I hope this show doesnt typecast him.
Next we meet Fredo, a 31-year-old cement contractor from Cleveland. Im torn here. Part of me wants to remind all of you what happened to the middle Corleone brother at the end of Godfather Part II. And part of me wants to make some reference to Frodo the hobbit. But both parts of me are a little afraid that dissing Fredo might mean sleeping with the fishes. So, lets stay positive and say that despite the gold chain, roid rage, receding hairline, wrestlers ponytail and expansive body hair, Fredo seems like quite the catch.
Heres comes 29-year old Tim from Arkansas. Id tell you what impression he made on me, but he didnt actually make one. Seems quiet, has very pretty eyes and may turn out to be Richie Cunninghams long-lost brother from Happy Days. Hes cute. Relatively speaking of course.
Boston Brian manages to hide the accent for a little while. He cant, however, hide the fact that he was dropped at birth.
Bill is a pleasingly plump account from New Jersey who doesnt appear to have a personality.
Sean is a chef and explains that hes put on some weight recently, so he doesnt feel real comfortable in his skin. Sean seems like a nice, normal guy. But Sean needs to stop trying to grow that scraggly goatee. Its not hiding the double chin, hon. We can still see it, so do us all a favor and shave off the Chia beard.
Donato has a very sweet smile and a great sense of humor. I know this because Donato said two of the lines I had planned for the summary. Id be mad at him for beating me to the punchline on the Ritalin thing, but he just seems too good-natured. Domo Origato Mr. Donato. Yeah, I dont know what it means either, but that freaking song is stuck in my head now anyway.
Thomas is 54 and overcompensating.
Matt Botti. Bless his heart. I love him. Hes got a speech impediment, and his braces make him drool, but hes so optimistic that I just want to hug his neck. Botti feels he has conquered his nerdiness. You go Nerd Boy! You! Go!
I cant decide whether Chris is trying to emulate Elvis, Buddy Holly or my hairy Uncle Moe. This is what Luke Perry would have looked like on 90210 if there werent stylists around to contain the sideburns and pompadour. Guys, if your hair is receding, dont try to make up for that in height, ok? The ozone layer is fragile and Aqua Net is so not eco-friendly.
We are given a brief reprieve from the parade of geeks to see Larissa checking out her bachelorette pad. The producers have provided her with canvases and paint so she can work (which will be good since the dates arent going to be very exciting). Theyve also framed some of her paintings. My notes also indicate that Larissa made a -quote obvious and lame analogy end quote during this segment. I just neglected to write down what it was. And it really irks me that her earrings match her bikini that is taking perfection just too damn far. In case anyone was wondering, Im being so hard on Larissa because Im bitter, resentful and jealous.

Lollapalooza 2013 Dates Leak?
We're still a week and a half away from Lollapalooza. However, the fact that this year's version of the festival hasn't taken place yet isn't stopping its organizers from announcing the dates of 2013's festival.
Maybe that seems a bit strange, but we are talking about Lollapalooza, which has been known to sell out before bands have even been announced. Still, based on local billboards spotted by Chicago-based Consequence of Sound, the 2013 Lollapalooza will take place on Aug. 2-4, 2013.
The dates shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody. Ever since the festival was re-tooled as a single destination event in 2005, it has taken place during the first weekend of August in Grant Park along the shores of Lake Michigan in beautiful downtown Chicago.
C3 Presents, the company that promotes Lollapalooza, has a contract with the city to host the festival through 2018, so we'll take this news even one step further and suggest that Lollapalooza 2014 will most likely be held on Aug. 1-3. Mark your calendars accordingly.
But getting back to the present for a moment, the 2012 Lollapalooza will be headlined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Black Keys, Black Sabbath and Jack White. The full lineup can be found here.

Flying under the radar as a prospect can often be a good thing. The hidden prospect is not often annoyed by the constant stress of interviews, expectations are more realistic and they are quietly given more time to develop from message board fans.
However, flying under the radar does not mean that that player cannot, and will not contribute right away. In fact, some of Florida's biggest early contributors were not necessarily the headlining talent of their class. The role players, like Joey Ivie, are what help determine the potential success of a recruiting class.
While Joey Ivie may be flying under the radar, he is certainly talented and a high profile recruit. The four-star defensive tackle from Pasco High School was ranked as the 198th best player in the country according to Rivals.com.
Joey Ivie enrolled at the University of Florida in January.
Let's look at his tape and see what we learn about Ivie and what his prospects look like in a Gator uniform.
Ivie is a converted defensive end that is slowly but surely growing into a defensive tackle. At 6-foot-4 and only 271 pounds, Ivie could still add a solid 20-25 pounds. While only at 271 pounds, Ivie did a good job disrupting plays and getting into the backfield. Ivie has good speed and good footwork. He is able to quickly change direction and has good balance. When Ivie adds weight, it may be tough for him to keep his top-tier speed. Ivie best uses his speed three to four steps into his rush and could use some improvement on his speed off of the line.
Ivie has good pad level and good hand placement. Although his highlight tapes show a lot of quick swim moves, Ivie has a few plays where you can see some solid technique in his play. Due to the level of competition being weaker, he was able to simply quickly over power offensive linemen and in doing so, developed a few bad habits. He will need to work on using his hands to get by the defender, as he won't be able to simply rush by linemen in the SEC.
Ivie seems to have a good football IQ and can quickly dissect plays and make adjustments mid play. Coupled with his speed, he is always near the ball carrier on almost every play.
Ivie will likely be red shirting his freshman year. He does have a lot of the skills you are looking for in a solid defensive tackle and should be a contributor for the Gators in time. A lot of Ivie's development and future, solely depends on his ability to add size and keep the same skill set. Ivie will likely be a starter toward the end of his career at Florida but will be a solid contributor throughout.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A cold shooting night inside the Thunderdome doomed the UC Santa Barbara women's basketball team in a 46-37 loss to Washington on Wednesday.
UCSB hit on just 22.6 percent of its shots, including a mere 15.4 percent in the first half.
On the bright side, the Gauchos held a bigger Washington team to just 36.2 percent shooting, but UCSB couldn't overcome its own offensive woes. Though UCSB cut it close on a trio of three-pointers from Kelsey Adrian in the final two minutes, it wasn't enough to overtake a Huskies team that led by as many as 14 with 7:09 to play.
UCSB's two-game winning streak was snapped and the team falls to 2-3. Washington improves to 3-1.
Santa Barbara scored just 11 first-half points against the Huskies, the program's second-lowest total in a first half ever.
Yet, as the ebb and flow of the game dictated, UCSB didn't let Washington run away with it. Santa Barbara held UW to just 20 first-half points.
For the third straight game UCSB limited its turnovers and was aggressive on defense. The Gauchos committed just 10 turnovers while Washington had 18 of them. However UW outrebounded the Gauchos 45-34 and scored 24 points in the paint, indicative of the size differential the team held over UCSB.
Adrian led UCSB with 14 points, a season-best, as no other Gaucho scored in double digits. Sweets Underwood had seven points and five rebounds. Kirsten Tilleman and Emilie Johnson each had six rebounds.
Washington was led by 6-foot-3 center Regina Rogers who had 16 points and eight rebounds, going 7 of 11 from the floor. Freshman Jazmine Davis finished with 13 for the Huskies.
UCSB got as close as eight points, 40-32 with 1:02 left, but Washington hit on six of nine free throws down the stretch to keep the Gauchos at arm's length.
UCSB will play at Northern Colorado on Sunday with tip-off scheduled for 1 p.m. PDT. The game can be heard live online in its entirety by clicking here. AM 990 KTMS will join the game in progress at 2 p.m.

Company Overview
We are an integrated communications provider offering integrated communications and Internet connectivity to individuals, businesses, organizations, educational institutions and government agencies. Through our subsidiaries, we provide high quality, reliable and scalable Internet access, web hosting, and equipment co-location. Our overall strategy is to become the dominant integrated communications provider for residents and small to medium-sized businesses in Oklahoma.
Our principal executive offices are located at 201 Robert S. Kerr Avenue, Suite 210, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73102, and our telephone number is (405) 236-8200. We also maintain an Internet site on the World Wide Web ("WWW") at http://www.fullnet.net.
Company History
We were founded in 1995 as CEN-COM of Oklahoma, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, to bring dial-up Internet access and education to rural locations in Oklahoma that did not have dial-up Internet access. We changed our name to FullNet Communications, Inc. in December 1995, and shifted our focus from offering dial-up services to providing wholesale and private label network connectivity and related services to other Internet service providers. During 1995 and 1996, we furnished wholesale and private label network connectivity services to Internet service providers in Bartlesville, Cushing, Durant, Perry, Tahlequah, and Tulsa. During 1996, we sold our Internet service provider operations in Enid, Oklahoma and began Internet service provider operations in Ponca City, Oklahoma. In 1997 we continued our focus on being a backbone provider by upgrading and acquiring more equipment. We also started offering our own Internet service provider brand access and services to our wholesale customers.
In 1998 our gross revenues exceeded $1,000,000 and we made the Metro Oklahoma City Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies list. In 1998 we commenced the process of organizing a competitive local exchange carrier ("CLEC") through FullTel, and acquired Animus Communications, Inc. ("Animus"), a wholesale Web-service company, which enabled us to become a total solutions provider to individuals and companies seeking a "one-stop shop" in Oklahoma. Animus was renamed FullWeb in January 2000.
During 2000 and 2001, we completed eight separate acquisitions of Internet service provider companies, with customers in the Oklahoma cities of Tahlequah, Bartlesville, Enid, Nowata, Lawton, Oklahoma City, Adair, Jay, Pryor, Wyandotte, Leach, Colcord and Moseley.
We completed our network operations center during the first quarter of 2001. Our co-location facility is carrier neutral, allowing customers to choose among competitive offerings rather than being restricted to one carrier. Our network operations center is Telco-grade and provides customers a high level of operative reliability and security. We offer flexible space arrangements for customers, 24-hour onsite support with both battery and generator backup.
Through FullTel, our wholly owned subsidiary, we are a fully licensed competitive local exchange carrier or CLEC in Oklahoma. The FullTel data center telephone switching equipment was installed in March 2003. At which time, FullTel began the process of activating local access telephone numbers for every city in which we will market, sell and operate our retail FullNet Internet service provider brand, wholesale dial-up Internet service and our business-to-business network design, connectivity, domain and Web hosting businesses.

The Kickstarter phenomenon that swept the industry in 2012 has been dominated by projects from established figures who made their names in the 1980s and '90s. These projects trade on nostalgia from fans of genres and game design styles that major publishers have since come to regard as too risky to fund.
Obsidian Entertainment creative director Chris Avellone is revered among RPG fans for his work on Fallout 2 and Planescape: Torment (among many other credits). He is one of the most prolific writers working in games -- he personally penned the bulk of Torment's 800,000 words -- and is regarded by many as one of the industry's finest.
Avellone dipped his toe in the crowd-funding stream early, signing up in March to assist with Brian Fargo's Wasteland 2, on the condition that it could reach a $2.1m "stretch goal" for its funding (which was easily surpassed). Then -- following comments from Avellone that he would like to seek funding for a follow-up to Planescape: Torment (on which he acted as lead designer) -- speculation began as to when an Obsidian Kickstarter would surface.
And surface it did -- after four days of teasing on the Obsidian website, the Kickstarter for Project Eternity went live on September 14, and quickly began to break records. It reached its 1.1m target in slightly over 24 hours, before finishing with over $3.9m, overtaking Double Fine Adventure to become the most successful game campaign ever run on the site.
Gamasutra recently sat down with Avellone to discuss Project Eternity and his work more generally. This in-depth discussion touches on the specifics of Obsidian's approach to crowd-funding, Avellone's thoughts on what makes game narrative unique, and Obsidian's double-edged reputation for releasing brilliant role-playing games that are tarnished by an unacceptable quantity of bugs.
Did Obsidian start thinking about running a Kickstarter because of Double Fine's success?
Chris Avellone: As soon as Tim Schafer did his Kickstarter, we became aware of how much support there could be for products that publishers might discount. I'd pretty much lost hope that we'd ever see another adventure game that wasn't on the DS or the iPhone. And then suddenly Kickstarter happened, and I realised that "holy shit, we're going to get another adventure game because of all this." Then Brian Fargo moved really quickly, and suddenly it was pretty clear that people also wanted an old-school RPG.
And so after that, we started discussing it internally. We've always wanted to do another Infinity Engine-style game, and so we spent a good many months [planning], we talked with inXile and Brian to see how they had structured their campaign, and the lessons they'd learned from it, and we checked out a bunch of other Kickstarters that were successfully funded, and we tried to build up hype with screenshots on our website and things like that. And then we launched it, and yeah, it turned out great.
But to be honest, I was a little worried that most of the games I'd seen on Kickstarter had just barely gotten funded, and Brian and Tim Schafer and Shadowrun felt like exceptions. [The audience] either knew the franchise or the names behind them so much that it wasn't too hard for them to far exceed their goals. So when we put ours up, we weren't sure if it would actually get funded or not, but obviously the outpouring was so huge. Hitting the funding the first day was awesome and also scary at the same time, because we were like, "Oh my god, we have to figure out these stretch goals a lot faster than we'd planned for."
So, what is it about Infinity Engine games that you love so much; the reason you've wanted to go back to them?
CA: Well the first thing is -- in the Icewind Dale games, the artists were able to paint the most amazing dungeons. There wasn't a lot of worry about memory management, or how it would perform on consoles, or getting all the polygons not to slow down the game. When they were actually able to paint dungeons, they were able to make some amazingly creative spaces to explore, that I don't usually see a lot in today's games.
We had one dungeon in Icewind Dale 1 which was basically this big frozen museum, and as you were walking along you'd actually see creatures frozen in the floor and the walls, and we actually had this other dungeon which was this giant hand reaching up to the sky, and you'd actually travel up through the hand, and into each individual finger and explore that.
Secondly, we all loved playing and designing those games, we all loved Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate 2. Icewind Dale was a bit different because we were always under a tight schedule, and we could never really do the same level of companion and other interactions that Baldur's Gate did, and it was kind of a different style of game. But if we could take all those elements and make our dream Infinity Engine game, what would those things be? So we compiled a list of that stuff, and then we were like, "Let's just go do this and see if people would want to see that made". And they really do.
I loved both Baldur's Gates, and Planescape: Torment is one of my favorite games of all time.
CA: Torment was... it wasn't fun, at the time, at certain points, but I really enjoyed writing and designing that game. It was a rare moment in the industry, I will say. You don't usually get a franchise that allows you that much freedom.
That setting is incredible.
CA: I was actually surprised that it was a Dungeons & Dragons setting, because it was so freeform and had so many ideas that I'd never even seen before. It was amazing! So cool.
Philosophy-based factions.
CA: Yeah, the idea of mental real estate, and "if you think about it hard enough you can make it reality." I was like, "What? This is awesome!"

February 18, 2011
In 1978 Samuel Green was living in the Seattle area and struggling to find his writing voice when poet Carolyn Forche asked him to consider this: "If you want to write a certain kind of poem, maybe you ought to live the sort of life from which such poems might come."
"It was an amazingly astute statement that would not go away," Green told an audience gathered for his public reading in the College's Korb Classroom on Thursday. "It forced me to ask myself, What kinds of poems do I really want to write, and what sort life would bring them into being."
The answers Green found led him and his wife, Sally, to Puget Sound's Waldron Island and the small community where he found not only his poetic voice, but a life among others and, as he writes, stories that "gather as tiny birds add themselves one and one to the flock, their small throats gathering the One Great Song that is more than themselves alone."
The poet laureate of Washington state from 2008 to 2010, Green "sang" that song to the Wabash community in stories and in his poems Thursday night.
"In a small community, what happens to people matters to you," Green said after being introduced by longtime friend and fellow poet Wabash Professor of English Marc Hudson. He read a poem written for the memorial service of a biologist who had lived on the island but died in a helicopter accident during the search for a lost hiker:
Now, in the shortening days when light unbraids
too early, let us astonish each other
with love, as though, through us, we channel her desire.
Let us summon her here that she be present…
The co-owner of the island's Brooding Heron Press, Green also noted that "in a small community you learn to live with people you don't like, you learn that not liking someone is not an excuse for not being with them.
"I had to live with people as they are, not the way I wanted them to be, which is a great gift for me: I had to change myself because I couldn't change other people."
Green described digging a grave with fellow islanders for a 90-year-old man who had died suddenly after a fall; on Waldron, the responsibility for such work often falls to one's neighbors. He was "under our care," Green noted before reading his poem, "Grave Digging":
We could be working in gardens, we four
men with shovels, grubhoes, picks. We bend
our backs & and through the soil laid down
in an old man's life with the first half slice
of a shovel blade. We work with an ease
that surprises, the banter of neighbors who come
at odd moments together…
He talked about his father, now in his 80s, who has suffered back pain since the day he was beaten by his father at age 17 while working on fishing boat in Alaska. Green read a poem mourning that day but honoring his father's own legacy. "As my grandfather beat my father, my grandfather's father likely beat his son, too," Green said. "Yet my father never hit me, and I never hit my son, and my son is the most gentle, wonderful father—he could never hurt his little girl. So my father is a hero to me for breaking that chain."
I bring my father back because I want
to tell that boy that he will not beat
his own two sons, & they will not
beat theirs, to tell him though he'll mourn
the fact that he cannot mourn his father's death,
I know I'll weep for his. But the boy can't hear me…
Green read from a series of short poems he wrote on postcards, one per year, during 2001. The poem written September 9 of that year seems prescient:
A nuthatch slams into the bay
window. The ledge catches her,
keeps her from the cat's mouth,
but she stays there, stunned, caught
by the betrayal of air turned suddenly
solid. How could she ever move
past this moment without the grace
of necessity? How could any of us?
He recalled the hospitality of the people of New York City when he traveled there for a reading not long after the 9/11 attacks. A Polish man there not only gave him directions to the place he needed to go, but missed his own stop to make sure he got there safely. When Green offered his gratitude as they were saying goodbye, the man said, "No one should be lost when someone else knows the way."
The audience was treated to the first public reading of a new poem, then Green answered questions. A woman noted that the poem seemed to speak "in humble absolutes."
"I love the phrase, though I'm not sure about the absolute," Green said. "But if you pay attention to the world, you can't help but be humble."

Typically these posts are done ahead of time and I have them on a scheduler that uses a timer. But today I woke up really early, after going to bed pretty early, and while I was praying I read something that got me thinking. Now I can't shake the thought – how often have I communicated that there is "no room at the inn?"
You may know that I work at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Glenville. As you can imagine, things have been busy in the parish office. Regrettably, sometimes I let it get the better of me. Someone called on Friday afternoon when I was trying to finish up and get home. Add to that, three phones were ringing at once, and I let them get the better of me too. The third call was from a familiar parishioner; I was harried and probably very rude to her.
Today I am reminded, as we all are, that all guests should be welcomed as Christ. (See Chapter 35 in the Rule of St. Benedict for a direct quotation.) I take that pretty seriously in the parish office – and in life, I hope. Sometimes I fall short and Friday was one of those days.
2000 years ago, give or take, an innkeeper, very harried on a busy and overcrowded night, told some prospective guests that there was no room for them at his inn. We see how that worked out! Now his busy brush-off may not have been intentional. And goodness knows when things are full, they are full…. right?
All of this is a reminder that we must stop, look, and listen. (The link takes you to a beautiful post by my friend Michelle Francl-Donnay, on paying attention to radiant dawn and other things.) We must be attentive and we must be responsive in the context of our attentiveness. For me, that might mean letting one phone ring and go to voicemail, knowing that God is taking of everything, and pay attention to the person I am speaking with. For me, that is very hard to do – and in my good intention of trying to take care of everyone at once, I take care of no one.
So what can we do to welcome the Child who is about to be born? The Child who is born in us, over and over again? Perhaps those three things that Michelle reminded me of in her post, those words from my childhood, to "stop, look and listen."
If I stop, I might be more centered and more attentive, more aware, and more welcoming. If I look, I may see who is before me at all times, no matter how I feel – and then be more welcoming. And if I listen, I will hear the call, the call that should bring me to attention and not to frustration – and then be more welcoming.
Perhaps today we are all the innkeeper, in our various ways. What innkeeper will we be – the welcoming one or the the one who shuts the door?

Rock-Out with your iOS Device Out in Pocket Festival
Posted by Rob Rich on October 15th, 2012
Ever since I found myself transfixed by Wayne and Garth's adventures in creating their own personal rock-a-palooza, I wondered what it would be like to start one of my own. Reality being what it is, coupled with me being barely in my teens at the time, meant that it wasn't something I could actually do. At least it wasn't. Now that Chillingo is getting ready to release Pocket Festival that young man's dream can very much become a reality. Okay a virtual reality but sometimes you take what you can get.
Pocket Festival puts players in charge of their own personal Lollapalooza, Woodstock, Warped Tour, or whatever else they might want to call it. They can build tents for concert goers. They construct the stages and book the bands. They pick up litter for experience points (!!). And, as expected, more experience unlocks more gear, which can be purchased with coins and used to earn more coins to buy more gear. Most notably there are also daily quests that are changed, you guessed it, daily and offer players a number of rewards for various tasks.
This freemium rock-fest will be available soon. And you won't even have to wait in line for a week to get tickets!

Syria strike talk sparks rallies, protests
Crowds of anti-war demonstrators gathered outside the White House Saturday while Syrians and Syrian Americans who support U.S. military action waived flags and shouted for Assad's ouster. (August 31) AP
Protesters worldwide are taking to the streets — and to social media — to express their varied views on a possible U.S.-led attack on Syria.
The debate about such an attack has grown as politicians and the public vocalize their thoughts on what penalty Syrian President Bashar Assad should pay for his alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians on Aug. 21.
U.N. chemical weapons experts are working to determine what exactly occurred in an area near Damascus that day, but the U.S. released a report Friday laying out evidence that Assad sanctioned a chemical attack that killed more than 1,420 people.
On Saturday afternoon, President Obama said he was in favor of taking military action against Assad, but said an attack would be limited in "duration and scope," and he would seek congressional approval for the use of force.
STORY: Twitter reaction to a possible U.S. strike on Syria
FULL COVERAGE: Latest developments in Syria
Just before the president's announcement, shouts from hundreds of activists demonstrating against military action could be heard outside the White House's Rose Garden. At the same time, about 50 counter-protesters nearby advocated for U.S. action in Syria, according to Politico.com.
President Obama said on Saturday that he was ready to take military action against Syrian President Bashar Assad, but that he will seek the approval of Congress before carrying out a military strike. VPC
On Saturday, there were also protests in New York City and Boston, as well as one planned in Houston.
Protesters also took to the streets in international locations. In London, more than 1,000 people carrying Syrian flags and placards reading "Hands Off Syria" marched to Downing Street and rallied in Trafalgar Square.
About 700 people turned out for an anti-war demonstration in Frankfurt, police said.
At a protest organized by left-wing opposition parties in Amman, Jordan, activist Kawthar Arrar described any military intervention as "an aggression on the whole Arab world." Protesters there gathered outside the U.S. Embassy, chanting slogans and setting fire to American and Israeli flags.
On Twitter, hundreds of social media users quickly posted reactions under the #Syria hashtag after Obama spoke. British Prime Minister David Cameron himself weighed in, tweeting: "I understand and support Barack Obama's position on #Syria."
Earlier this week, Cameron lost his case for military action when the United Kingdom parliament voted against British participation in any U.S.-led attack against Syria.
In the U.S., nearly 80% of Americans said President Obama should seek congressional approval before taking military action, according to an NBC News poll conducted on Wednesday and Thursday.
Overall, 50% of Americans said they oppose the United States taking military action against Assad, and 42% said they support it, according to the poll.

OAKLAND – In an effort both to clear his name and offer support, Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes texted Kobe Bryant.
Barnes had just defended Bryant when he unexpectedly slipped in the waning minutes of a regular-season game April 12 against the Warriors at Staples Center. Barnes then learned Bryant had torn his left Achilles tendon, an injury that sidelined him for the next eight months.
"He had taken a few hard fouls earlier in that game. I just didn't want him to think it was anything malicious or that I was trying to go after him or anything like that," Barnes told this newspaper before the Lakers played Golden State on Saturday at Oracle Arena. "I touched base and wished him well. He said it was all good and he didn't think anything of it."
Incidentally, Bryant had hoped his fall stemmed from Barnes fouling him too hard. Medical experts often describe an Achilles injury snapping feeling similar to someone kicking it. Barnes confirmed that Bryant and his teammates asked Barnes if he had done that.
"I said, 'No I didn't,'" Barnes said. "As soon as I said that, you could tell by the look on his face that something serious happened to him. I realized it was more than just someone falling to the ground."
Bryant still made two foul shots before walking off the floor.
"You don't see many people with a torn Achilles able to make free throws," Barnes said.
Bryant hasn't written a Hollywood ending yet with his recovery.
He had averaged 13.8 points on 42.5 percent shooting, 6.3 assists and 5.7 turnovers in 29.5 minutes through six games, a drastic dropoff from his career average of 25.5 points per game on 45.4 percent shooting in 36.6 minutes. The Lakers also expect Bryant to stay sidelined for six more weeks after fracturing his left knee.
"If anyone can come back from all the things he's been through, it would be him," Barnes said. "He came back from the Achilles (injury) and played on such a short recovery. He's been through a lot, but I'm sure he'll able to get through his latest injury just the same. This is who he is. He's not a self-doubting person. He's not going to let anything defeat him."
Lineup shuffle
The only consistency marking this Lakers' season has involved their inconsistent rotations and revolving injuries.
So it should hardly become surprising that the Lakers featured their 12th starting lineup on Saturday against Golden State because of Pau Gasol's absence from a respiratory illness.
Gasol had remained the lone player to start at 26 games, but he had battled respiratory issues at the beginning of this season. So the Lakers started Chris Kaman, which marked his second appearance in the past 14 games amid back spasms and falling low on the Lakers' depth chart.
"I didn't know if I was ever going to play again this season," said Kaman, who has averaged 8.1 points on 50-percent shooting and 4.4 rebounds in 16.8 minutes through 14 games. "I just have to do whatever I do, whether it's five minutes or 25 minutes. I don't expect anything out of this. I'll just play hard and do my job."
Gasol didn't attend the game, but is expected to return when the Lakers play on Monday against Phoenix.

Ford started a 4x4 legacy that scratched an indelible mark on the off-road world over 45 years ago with the introduction of the Bronco. Since its release in 1966 (late 1965) the beloved Bronco has morphed into a number of popular body styles and was fitted with the advanced performance features of the times. The early utilitarian four-wheel-drive vehicles gave off-road enthusiasts a tough, dependable, and capable vehicle that could be driven to and from adventure locations with the ability to carry family and more gear than its competitors. To this day, the early Bronco is highly sought after, and its later-model fullsize brother and the smaller Bronco II are still classics in many circles of off-road fanatics.
Early Bronco ('66-'77)
The '66-'77 Bronco was a utilitarian vehicle designed with the now-classic body lines of the era and built to compete with Jeep CJ-5 and IH Scout 800. The vehicle's design included a number of cutting-edge (for the time) performance features like front coil springs and radius arms. The rugged early Bronco was fitted with solid axles front and rear, and it was offered in three body styles.
The Bronco quickly became popular among off-road and outdoor enthusiasts because it gave them more cargo room than the Jeep CJ-5 and classier body styling than the bulbous Scout. The Bronco was also offered with a standard inline-six or V-8 engine, unlike the its competitors.
A number of modifications were implemented on the Bronco over its production lifespan to keep up with the competition. The 289ci and 302ci V-8 engine, 200ci inline-six, power steering and brakes, trim styling packages, and upgraded appointments made for a great on- and off-road rig.

Fullsize Bronco ('78-'96)
It had a long production run of 18 years, but the fullsize Bronco was initially released to compete with other sport/utility vehicles from Jeep, Chevy, and Dodge. The fullsize Bronco was based on Ford's F-series pickup and shared a number of components with the truck to keep production costs down.
The larger, more powerful 4x4 represented the second-through-fifth generations of the Ford Bronco and was a big hit with four-wheelers and other outdoor enthusiasts.
The second generation lasted only two model years, '78-'79. The third generation was '80-'86, The fourth '87-'91, and the fifth '92-'96.
Over the years the Bronco underwent a number of styling and performance changes, even losing the dependable solid front axle and moving to an awkward Twin Traction Beam (TTB) for the '80 model year. The fullsize Bronco held its own against the competitive Jeep Wagoneer, Dodge Ramcharger, and Chevy Blazer 4x4 vehicles, but was finally discontinued after the '96 model to make way for its replacement, the Ford Expedition.

Bronco II ('84-'90)
The Bronco II was released to suit the needs of consumers looking for a smaller, more economical SUV. The compact SUV was based off the Ranger, and it was Ford's competitive answer to the Toyota 4Runner, Jeep Cherokee XJ, and Chevy S10 Blazer.
The Bronco II had a number of issues over the years and was saddled with a reputation of unreliability, but the rig is easy to work on and modify. A number of popular engine swaps and suspension modification make it a very competent off-road machine.
The Bronco II didn't change drastically over the years, but there were a few body styling changes and it was offered in a number of trim packages. Eventually, in 1991, the troubled little Bronco II was phased out and replaced by the Ford Explorer.
'84-'90 Bronco II Specs

The surface must be clean before you start. Wipe off any excess oil and grease spills. Scrape and sweep away any dirt or loose contaminants from the surface.
Ensure no sealer or coating is present. Sprinkle a few drops of water onto the surface. If water is quickly absorbed, the surface is ready. If water does not absorb, a sealer could be present and needs to be removed.
Once the surface is clean, apply the cleaner & etcher product. Use a plastic watering can to evenly distribute the product.
Spread the cleaner and etcher using a stiff bristled, non-metal brush or broom. Allow the product to stand on the surface for at least 10-20 minutes, then scrub vigorously with the broom again.
Ensure the cleaner and etcher do not dry on the surface. Lightly mist the surface with water, if needed, to keep it wet. Heavily stained areas, older stains, or dense, smooth finishes may require additional applications.
Thoroughly rinse the surface with a garden hose with a high pressure nozzle or a pressure washer. Prevent the rinse solution from entering the storm drains.
The surface is ready for priming when it feels like medium grit sandpaper and no residue or loose concrete remains. To avoid adhesion issues, ensure the surface is clean by wiping your fingers over the surface to check for dust or powder. If residue is present, repeat the rinsing step.
Once the concrete is cleaned and etched, it is ready for application of the bonding primer. Apply using a high-quality pump sprayer, 1/4 - 3/8" nap roller, nylon-polyester brush, or pad applicator.
The bonding primer will dry to the touch in approximately 2 hours. Use the bonding primer when air and surface temperatures are between 50 - 90 degrees F.
Once the surface has been primed, you can apply a topcoat. Make sure to apply after at least 4 hours but before 30 days.

Gastrological Forecast
You know what's weird? About half of the way through Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow—the retro-future film in which Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow save the world from robot attackers—I realized that so far nobody had eaten anything. I made a bet with myself that nobody would, either. I mean, what is retro-future food? In case you haven't seen the movie, Sky Captain has the look and feel (mostly computer generated) of a film about the future made in the '40s. Somehow, it seemed unlikely that the director would sway the viewers' attention with the introduction of pot roast pellets or tuna casserole injections. Would Sky Captain pause before climbing into the cockpit, pull out a small plastic case and place on his tongue a dissolving film, not a breath-freshening mint, but one that releases the full flavor of turkey and all the trimmings? Probably not. The only two foods I did notice in the film (and honestly, I had to go to brandcameo.com to recall them) were Coke and Dubble Bubble. Maybe imagining Jetsons-style meal-replacement mints was silly. If there's any food that will make it into the future, it's certainly going to be Coke. And if Dubble Bubble, the gum with the flavor that disappears after a minute of chewing, is still going strong after 80 years, it'll still be here when the giant robots come to kill us all.
The Dish
All the News That's Fit to Eat
Downtown's El Chamizal Mexican restaurant (Fifth Street and Central) is now Paco's New Mexican restaurant. After taking over at the end of September, the Aviles family quickly painted over the El Chamizal logo and simply added "New" to the words below it. They later repainted the entire sign, but for most Downtown lunchers the temporary fix was good enough. (The Central Avenue corridor has been without a New Mexican restaurant for a while now, though many cafés serve New Mexican items on their menus.) Paco's is a family business, Marisol Aviles said last week. She and her siblings—sister Gabriela and brothers Martin and Paco—run the place together. They agreed to name the restaurant after Paco because he's the cook, and the one with 18 years of experience in the restaurant business, most recently at Garcias Kitchen, Marisol said. The Aviles Family have also drafted Mom, Dad and various nieces to help out, the guys in the kitchen and the ladies out front. The family grew up mostly in Mexico but most members have been in the States for years. Marisol said they decided to focus on New Mexican food because of its simplicity and Paco's experience with the food. Paco's serves breakfast all day, including pancakes and omelets alongside huevos and breakfast burritos. Speaking of breakfast burritos, the tortillas here are notably delicious. They're thick, fluffy and taste suspiciously homemade—because they are! Marisol informed me that they make all of the tortillas in-house as well as the dough for sopaipillas and Indian tacos. A few dishes on Paco's menu, the flan, sweet rice and salsa are made in the traditional Mexican fashion from family recipes. Paco's serves breakfast and lunch Monday through Thursday; and breakfast, lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday. Check it out when you're in the mood for a really nice tortilla.

Chowtown Restaurant Guide
At some point down the line Thai food became synonymous with comfort food for me. It was my family's favorite dining out cuisine when I was young, and now I have a lot of good nostalgia wrapped up in the smell of lemongrass and curry. Tom kha gai, papaya salad and pad see ew are my go-to orders when I'm sick or just craving something warming and familiar, so I've visited most of the Thai spots in town to find some of my favorites of each. That GrubHub bill is getting a little out of control at this point, honestly.
Here's a few of my favorite spots to order Thai in the Duke City. May they bring you many spicy tears and great evenings.
