Tuesday Poll: September Tech Announcement You are Most Excited About?

We are only 4 days into September and a number of the biggest tech companies in the world have announced press events where they are expected to announce their latest game changing products. Motorola is up tomorrow to finally unveil the RAZR HD and RAZR M, followed by Nokia and their first Windows 8 phones. Then Amazon will take the stage Thursday to show off the new Kindle Fire. Next week, Apple will drop the iPhone 5, with HTC showing off their new goodies on September 19. It should be the most exciting month of the year for tech enthusiasts. We get new Android, Apple, Amazon, and Windows products all at the same time. If you had been saving up for your next gadget buy, you are about to be overwhelmed with choices.

Which are you most looking forward to? Moto’s first HD phone on Verizon? HTC potentially announcing a 1080p phone? The new Kindle Fire that will go head-to-head with the Nexus 7? Or maybe Apple’s new i*hone?

September Announcement Your are Most Excited About?

  • ScoobySnack

    My interest in most Android phones now is dependent upon being unlocked or AOSP.

  • Robert Jakiel

    I absolutely love my Android devices but am getting a bit excited to see Windows 8 phones. After having played with a Lumia 900 I was pretty impressed overall with the OS and was hoping for some better hardware. Seems that Nokia is putting up on the hardware front and if WP8 is as good or better than WP 7.5 than it will be a very interesting device.

  • Guestz

    YOU ARE = You’re, not your

  • schoat333

    Sad to say, I’m the most interested in the new iPhone. Only because I cant wait to see the reaction. The rest of this news is boring.

  • Val

    Where is the wii u announcement?

  • ojaymayo22

    Nokia’s Windows 8 phone or the next Nexus will be my next phone.
    Most likely a PureView unibody Nokia Lumia though, got to be open minded!

  • Futbolrunner

    I want Samsung to sue the s*it out of apple once they unveil the new iphone. Someone has to put a stop to all of this “revolutionary” bs.

  • David Hayden

    The Motorola event by far. I want to see that bezel free phone.

  • George Fayad

    Since there’s no nexus event scheduled this month, I’m definitely looking forward to the Motorola event. After that, the only event I really care about is the Apple event.

  • Cbajd5

    Excited mostly for Nintendo’s NY event and (probably) the Wii U launch info for the US on the 13th. Duh.

  • I’m also going with none, I just got Verizon to upgrade my Bionic to a Razr Maxx and I just bought the Nexus 7 last month so for once I’m happy with what I have.

  • SeanBello

    iphone release. Next funniest thing besides Comedy Central roasts

  • Chris

    Lol all the people that voted to see the next Moto phone, haven’t owned one since the D1.

  • fanboy1974

    There are going to be many disappointed Motorola fans. I gave up after the Droid X.

    • Robert Jakiel

      I gave up after the OG Droid. Motorola seriously screwed the pooch after the OG Droid and Droid X. I dropped Moto/Verizon like a hot potato and went to T-Mo and have been happy as a clam with my G2X ever since. Soon the Galaxy Note II will be in my grubby little paws!

  • I only buy Moto phones but by far Apple’s announcements are the most important for the industry.

  • mikeszekely

    Sometimes I’m surprised at all the love Motorola still gets. Yeah, the original Droid helped put Android on the map, but most of their phones have been ugly bricks with horrible Android skins. The RAZR was the first Motorola phone in a long time that I even remotely considered, but even then the promise of Ice Cream Sandwich had me go for the Galaxy Nexus instead.

    • mikeszekely

      Ha ha, I love how someone downvoted my comment, them Motorola turns around and announces a phone with the same specs as phones that have been on the market for months already, bundled in last year’s design. I hope it’s everything you guys wanted, but I’ve still got higher hopes for HTC’s mystery device.

  • RW-1

    None. Bad Piggies and the Grabatron Mashup …

  • joejoe5709

    Other than a new Nexus, the only truly exciting thing here is the next iPhone. Not only is it important because I’m sure I’ll buy one for my wife, but also for the tech world in general. Lots of things are waiting for that iPhone to release. It’s gonna be huge…

  • September 13th Nintendo conference where full launch details for Wii U will be displayed. That’s my most anticipated September tech event. 🙂

  • I really hate to be a downer, but I’m not sure how anyone could be excited about a motorala announcement. Even with the locked bootloader issue not taken into consideration, they have not released a relevant phone in years. The OG droid was good, but the Inc was better and came out shortly after. The rest of the keyboard droids are disappointing, and the razr really isn’t a fantastic phone. It is a good phone, but not something special like the one x was when it was announced or what the iphone 5 will be.

  • BrianBrick

    I’m excited for apple to announce an LTE I*hone just so that Samsung can announce they will sue

  • nightscout13

    Since this is an Andoird fan site, I’m shocked that 22% of you are “excited” about iPhone announcement! If you’re excited about the iPhone 5, please stop using this site.

    • I wasn’t one that voted to be excited… but i’m looking forward to seeing what Apple is offering.. doesn’t mean i don’t appreciate Android and should stop using the site.

      • nightscout13

        The title asked which we are most excited about. If someone is most excited about an iPhone release, they should spend more time on 9to5Mac. I visit those sites too, but I don’t go on there saying I’m excited about Android phones. I guess it’s also possible that the 22% were just trolling…

        • will bartlett

          no, i would never buy an iphone or ipad but i voted for apple…we live in a world where anything they do gets huge adoption everywhere. i will be excited when they actually put NFC in their phone because then i can pay places with google wallet finally.

          • nightscout13

            I just don’t understand your logic. Since the release of the 4S Apple has proven that they have fallen behind in the innovation department. And if you want NFC, it’s already available. I do give Apple some credit for helping out the mobile world, but they did not invent the cell phone. Mobile phones had already began a transformation in 2005, all phones started having larger screens, and less buttons. The iPhone just sold the idea better, but i firmly believe that if the iPhone did not exist, cell phones would still take that same direction, because that’s what the consumers want in the first place.

          • will bartlett

            NFC isnt WIDELY AVAILABLE. can i walk into target and pay with my phone? NO. that is my frickin point. how many people have a phone with NFC in it right now? if an iphone had NFC in it guess what…whatever the number is would probably more than double which means more places would adopt NFC as an appropriate payment form.

          • nightscout13

            I don’t know about you, but i have been able to use NFC with Google Wallet at many many PayPass stations. In case you are not aware, PayPass has been around for close to 8 years. NFC enabled phones don’t need a new technology to work, they work with PayPass. Blame Target for refusing the accept PayPass. This is not Android’s fault that Target will not put PayPass at their registers.

          • will bartlett

            the only stores around here with Paypass terminals are Walgreens…and i think Mcdonalds has them too but i dont go there so idk. i used target as an example bro. you know im right though, if more people have it, more places will adopt it. thats what im saying.

          • nightscout13

            Yes, i agree with that, but you tried to make it sound like the option to use NFC for payments is not available. Eventually, all terminals will have PayPass, even soda machines. This is the future.

    • Hunter

      Some of us are excited about this huge play in the mobile space and the effects it will have on Android. I’m and Android guy but i read a few apple blogs every now and then just to see what they are up to. No harm.

      • nightscout13

        No I agree, I also check out Apple fan sites like Engadget (pun) among others, but like I stated in another reply, maybe the 22% were trolling.

      • SeanBello

        gotta stay up to date on these things, since ppl like to spit out fake stuff when arguing for ios and against android. keep your friends close and your enemies closer

  • nightscout13

    Verizon RAZR Nexus LTE will do just fine…..

  • Alan Paone

    I’m excited for the nexus leaks to start up!

  • Neither! The tech improvements are too minor to shell out cash for

  • EvanTheGamer

    Option: “All of the above…..except for that so-called Apple announcement

  • Alix8821

    Love my new GSIII. My Tab 10.1 is only still around due to Custom ROMs… SO, I Voted Apple, and here’s why…
    I Love to see what they claim to have “invented/revolutionized/changed the game…etc”. The Only way they can compete is to keep copying. I find this “Arms race” quite interesting. Of course, could eventually back fire for either side. But as of now, I like to see what the opposition (Apple) has up it’s sleeve. It will only lead to further enhancements and changes to Android (hopefully for the better, not due to court decisions). Yes this entire situation is sloppy. But at the end of the day, competition is always good, and WE are the ones benefitting… Bring It On

  • I’m most interested in Apple because like it or not, they are the ones that are going to have the biggest impact on the market. If they bring out an NFC enabled iPhone, you know that it will become a much more accepted technology. Same goes for anything else they may have on what they announce

    • av8r

      I’m with you! I am a current android owner and have been since the first Droid phone was released. But, I’m jumping ship. I’ve had enough with the software update lies and lack of support from most of the manufactures. I’m going with an iPhone next week and saying goodbye to the android frustration. I’m tired of hearing manufactures saying ICS update is going to be out by a certain time period only to have the date pass by and then forgotten about, ex HTC and Motorola. And to top it off, ICS is old software. You can’t even get the old OS let alone the latest OS for your phone. I’m done with excuses! I’m done with with the whole android BS. I’m not gonna take it anymore. Android, your fired! Hello iPhone and the latest, current and up to date iOS, period!

      • Dain Laguna

        uh…..nexus? i feel your pain, but at the end of the day its the only device that really compares to an iphone

        • Robert Jakiel

          G-Nex, GS3 and HTC One X and One S are all currently on ICS and/or have Jellybean available or shortly available. Hell even the HTC Amaze ships with ICS and word has it that JB is forthcoming for it as well as the HTC Sensation as well. So there are alot of players out there with ICS and Jellybean. It is just a matter of picking the right device and knowing what you want from it.

  • Jason James

    i put other for my godson’s bday

    • Jeetu K

      thats a tech event :S .. cyber baby 😀

  • Let’s go HTC! Surprise me!

  • Tech_Maniac

    On Display! MOTOROLA!!!

  • Trevor

    I’m a little excited about Apple’s announcement solely because I know that if they put NFC in the new iPhone, its popularity (and hopefully prevalence) will skyrocket. I love paying for stuff with my phone!!

  • adb.push.Freedom

    I would like to choose “Motorola revealing the next Nexus” tomorrow … maybe someday

  • paul_cus

    It’ll be interesting to see Amazon try to keep up with the Nexus 7, but I’m looking forward to the Motorola news more.

  • noc007

    I just hope that the cost of a Moto Lapdock comes down as a result of tomorrow’s event. I doubt it, but a guy can hope.

    • Alan Paone

      I’d love for moto to take the lapdock seriously. If they announce one that looks like the original, has decent performance and multitouch in the trackpad, it’ll be my next.

  • HTC if the 1080p phone, Motorola if anything else.

  • Amazon, but not for the kindle fire, for the new Kindles with backlights and the white backgrounds.

  • ok

    If Moto’s really doing a bezel-less phone, then yes, I’m most excited about that. If not, then if HTC is adding on to the One line then I will definitely be hyped for that.
    (lol @ nokia)

  • This could be the best September ever. Razr HD, iPhone 5, Kindle Fire 2, HTC 5″ Device or their own Google Now. Nice!

  • Stephen D

    None. I’m excited for the announcement of the next Nexus in the next few months.

    • Trevor

    • I’m waiting to see how Motorola tries to play up their two semi-outdated devices and also to see what Apple does just to watch the circus that follows. Would be nice to see HTC really release a 1080p phone.

      But I’m with you for the most part, just give us a new Nexus.

      • A new Nexus that is pure Android. No holdbacks.

        • Hunter

          Not sure what this means. Haven’t the Nexii thus far been “pure android”?

          • AhsanS

            Not Verizon’s.

          • Not Verizon’s. Stock Jelly Bean is yet to make it to the Nexus. And the tag of “Galaxy” was marked up on it.
            The Nexus 7 has been the closest to pure Android of the recent devices.

          • will bartlett

            And that’s why my Galaxy NEXUS doesn’t have stock android. right?

          • Verizon has not pushed the official update to the nexus

          • will bartlett

            so what? that doesnt make it not a nexus

          • You’re missing the point. Didn’t ever say it was not a nexus. The heart of the nexus is to be not limited in any form or fashion. Unlocked. Updates pushed to the phone without carrier interference.

          • will bartlett

            people like you are still babies about that? seriously. push the stuff yourself. its not like its hard. i had jelly bean the day after IO.

            what im saying though is that it does have pure android. stock android. and it is a NEXUS. quit crying about it like you are some entitled teenage girl.

          • Please be nice. No need to put me on blast. I am not crying at all one bit. Made a simple statement that of what I would like to see in the next release of the nexus.

            Lets keep the Android Community a better place by not putting people on blast like you did. Just because you have the power to type out some words to one up another, doesnt mean you should feel entitled to correct someone elses opinion.

            Just be nice.

          • David asaro

            He is trolling you just ignore him

          • Lucky Armpit

            Keyboard Commados, FTW! *rolls eyes*

          • Sqube

            I think the point @JKBane:disqus was trying to make is that it was a compromised device because, for example, it’s called the GALAXY Nexus. The Galaxy line is Samsung branding, not Google.

          • I would love for the new iPhone to have NFC just so more people learn about it and it will become mainstream...HopsOnToday5.blogspot.com

          • Noyfb

            I Can’t Wait For The New iPhone 5 LTE…….to Get Banned and Sued By Samsung

          • michael arazan

            I think Apple is suing Samsung (again) against the Nexus SG3 and others because they don’t want to pay Samsung for the lte patents and they they can pull a slick one here.
            They’ll drop the suits against samsung phones in exchange for the free lte patents

      • Wat would Moto have to announce to get u excited… just curious

        • gokusimpson

          Something better than the S3. If it comes out with similar specs, there is little reason to buy it.

        • nightscout13

          RAZR Nexus on all carriers.

        • Jeetu K

          edge to edge screen .. krait processer .. thin like the original razr with an option to add a bigger batt making it also the maxx .. kevlar backS offcourse .. HD res in a sub 4.5-4.6 inch screen

        • Raven

          A new keyboard slider such as a quad-core Droid 5 with a great screen.

        • Stephen D

          A Droid 5 Nexus thing. Unlocked bootloader, stock Key Lime Pie(or whatever the next version will be), 4G on Verizon, with a 4.7 inch 720p OLED screen, quad core A9/dual core A15 CPU, an awesome keyboard, and a thin profile.

    • Cam

      This. I’m significantly less excited about seeing the latest touchwiz/blur/sense as I am in seeing what Goog has up their sleeves.

      Sony Nexperia, plz.

    • JoshGroff

      So in other words, other would be your choice.

      • Stephen D

        It won’t be announced in September. So no, other is not a choice.

        • JoshGroff

          Well then, I should pay more attention, completely didn’t read that it was for September. *crickets*

  • I want to see this rumored Moto edge-to-edge display phone…

    • It’s the Razr M, you have already seen it.

      • Bah, that’s crap. That’s about as edge-to-edge as my GS3. I mean, not a terrible phone but calling it “edge-to-edge” really is pushing it!

        No longer excited about it….

        (btw, thx for setting me straight)

        • I’m pretty sure that “leak” that hit up Bloomberg with the edge-to-edge story was a Motorola PR person trying to stir up buzz for their event that is sort of lacking. We sort of know it all at this point.

          • That’s pretty lame. Again, thx for bringing me up to speed. Had 2 different family emergencies (one death) last Thursday so I’ve been out of it for a bit.

      • tyguy829

        I’m willing to bet that it’s not. I think the edge to edge phone is the one at the Europe Intel event. Look at the invite…it says “Let us take you to the edge” and has the hastag #motoedge

  • TVsRoss

    I’m actually more excited about the new Kindle e-reader, because I’m apparently an old man who doesn’t like reading on these fancy phone/tablet screens.

    • Amazon got my vote as well. Wasn’t there a rumor that they were supposed to end up with like 12 new devices or something?

      • TVsRoss

        I’ve heard of 3 variants on the Kindle Fire (10″, and two 7″ models) and only one e-reader, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they refreshed all the variations of the old Kindle readers and had 3 Kindle Fires at different sizes/ specs. Maybe the number got blown up because of the way they’ve done the lowered price points for models with advertisements?

  • Just let me know what the next 3 Nexus phones are. That’s what I’m waiting for.

  • Raloc

    Apple, because if nothing else they set a standard so that other companies flagship phones are better. Wouldn’t ever consider buying an iPhone but you just have to realize the ripple effect that Apples products have on the market.

    • getrealdude

      Oh God, that is so overplayed. Apple just does everything later than everyone else and the media goes [email protected] Companies are innovating fine, the only ripple effect is in the media.

      • TheDrizzle

        I agree. The only affect I see Apple having nowadays is that they introduce new tech to the common people. I would love for the new iPhone to have NFC just so more people learn about it and it will become mainstream.

        • Jeetu K

          lol agree

      • Raloc

        You’re completely naive if you can’t appreciate the standards Apple has brought to the market like build quality, battery life lasting a day, components that work correctly (hello galaxy s gps), high pixel density/quality displays, etc. Up until the iPhone 4 most Android phones were pretty much garbage, it’s only recently that they’ve reached parity with Apple products in terms of features and measurable quality.

        • Captain_Doug

          What are you doing here again?

          • Doesnt matter, dont be blind to the truth.

        • AhsanS

          Raloc’s speaking the truth. And I prefer Android over iOS any day.

        • JB

          Batteries lasting a day, high pixel density displays, build quality all existed prior to Apple…..

          • Raloc

            It doesn’t have anything to do with the technologies existing before Apple used them, it’s that Apple made them a standard in the market, It’s really not that hard to understand.

        • Jeetu K

          ive used the iphone and android phones .. and no way does apple have the standard for good battery life .. with 3g on hardly half a day .. whereas i never switched off 3g on my android devices .. as for build quality i know 4 of my friends that have had cracked or shattered screens as a result of dropping their iphones once .. where as ive dropped a galaxy s every wich way more that a couple dozen times not a scratch n the screen .. sooo whos being naive ?

      • Even Kellex (if I remember correctly) is that the iPhone is the device that will truly bring NFC and mobile payments into the market.

        They may not invent it or make something new, but they definitely make pieces of technology popular.

        • The only thing I want Apple to do, is put NFC in a phone. The reason being, that all of this silly ass companies wait for Apple to do things.

          By no means to I feel that they innovate over the world.

          • CIFchamp24

            It’s just seeming like its not gonna happen. I can bet apple will purposely not put it in there and find an alternative to try and make people stop caring about NFC. Kinda like flash….

          • BrianBrick

            I bet they won’t call it NFC. It will be some iOS branded crap so iPhone users will think its unique and then ask android users “oh that’s weird, (an)droids can use *insert branded iNFC name*?”

          • gokusimpson

          • LionStone

            iBuy 🙂 haha

          • Michael Salinger

            Kellex I don’t think Apple is ever going to do NFC. They’ll invent some proprietary NFC-like standard that runs through iTunes, push it to retailers everywhere, and then only iPhone users will be able to make mobile payments… They’ll never push NFC because they are anti-standard.

    • Manny

      Facts are Facts !!

    • tanknspank

      This is pretty much how my thoughts go. I like to see what they have to offer in their OS updates and product releases, but I hardly ever see something that truly catches my attention. Maybe this time will be different though. I’m pretty open minded about my possible tech purchases.

    • I am with you. Android has so many players and devices that any new high end phone seems like an incremental jump. iPhone has the opportunity to leap from its 2-2.5 year old design so it is exciting to see what they do – like Apple or not. If they come up with something truly awesome – great! If they deliver along the lines of the rumors, that’s great too because I think lots of Apple folks will question their dedication to the brand.

    • Robert Jakiel

      Apple hasn’t set a hardware standard in smartphones since the iPhone 3GS. Every high end Android handset that had come out post 3GS has been superior on all hardware fronts. Hell my G2X which is 19 months old has better hardware than the iPhone 4S which is less than a year old. By the time the iPhone 5 comes to market (October?) the GS3, Note 2, HTC One X+, LG Optimus G, and other handsets with quad core SoCs will be everywhere or releasing at the same time. The only thing Apple does is market well to the glass lickers. From a hardware standpoint and I dare say even now from an OS/software standpoint Android is far superior on all fronts. Problem is that people, in general, are stupid and like to be coddled which is what Apple takes advantage of.

  • sciwizam

    I’m most intrigued by the Moto Intel event.

    • Larizard

      That’s not until next week.. in Europe.

  • Thomas Schiferl

    Normally I would say Moto, but we all know what they’re gonna announce. So this time Amazon or HTC.

my affection towards shakshuka began with this idyllic moment in dahab, egypt. i don't know why i don't make it more often for myself at home. it's stupidly easy to make and incredibly satisfying. last weekend, we went to the farmers market a bit later in the day than usual and our go-to egg farmer was sold out of chicken eggs. he did however, have beautiful giant duck eggs for sale! they were far heftier than chicken eggs, with incredibly rich, large orange yolks that ran runny through the spicy tomato stew. and in celebration of spring, i tossed in some fresh radishes from the market as well and served it all up with some crusty olive fougasse bread from our favorite market vendor. it was such an incredible meal, you can certainly enjoy this dish for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

i'd encourage you to splurge on some pastured duck eggs, but you can certainly use chicken eggs. note that they won't be quite as filling so you may want to cook 2 chicken eggs per serving, instead of one duck egg. you can also make a full batch of tomato stew and then just use a portion of the stew to cook individual eggs in individual-sized skillets. or store any leftover stew and simmer more eggs another day! heck, make a double batch of shakshuka stew and have a quick 5 minute meal ready to go all week!

duck egg shakshuka ~ serves 4

1 large yellow onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon (or more) harissa paste
1 diced red bell pepper or 6 cherry bomb peppers, thinly sliced
28oz crushed canned tomatoes (or briefly whiz up any other type of canned tomatoes in a blender)
1 cup loosely packed parsley
4 duck eggs
4 radishes, optional
1/2 cup feta cheese (i used raw goat milk feta)

serve with crusty bread for mopping up the stewy eggs!

notes: cherry bomb peppers are spicy, so if you are sensitive to heat, use red bell pepper. harissa is also optional, but i love the added heat of both the fresh peppers and the harissa chili paste!

crush garlic cloves and let rest for 10 minutes before cooking garlic. heat oil in a wide skillet and saute onions over medium heat for 5 minutes. add garlic, peppers and spices. saute for another 3 minutes over medium-low heat. add crushed or blended tomatoes and bring to a simmer. continue to simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. in the mean time wash and chop parsley, thinly slice radishes and crumble feta to set aside.

after tomatoes have stewed for 15 minutes, remove lid and make 4 divots in the stew - spaced evenly apart but not too close to the rim. crack duck eggs into each individual divots. cover again and simmer for 5-8 minutes. check firmness frequently after 5 minutes. for duck eggs, you'll want the white to be fairly firm but the yolk should still feel giggly. for chicken eggs, remove from heat when whites are just set. top with parsley, feta cheese and radishes and serve with crusty bread or toast.

Amy Hennig’s Star Wars Game to Match Uncharted’s Genre; Will Have “Unprecedented Visuals”

on April 5, 2014 12:52 PM

By now we all know that former Naughty Dog Creative Director Amy Hennig joined Dead Space developer Visceral Games to work in the same capacity on an upcoming Star Wars title, and two career opportunity ads seeking a Senior Design Director and a Senior Art Director have popped up, giving us more information on what said game might entail.

Here’s an excerpt from both posts:

EA is looking for an experienced Game Design Director to help lead the design and guide a team to develop a third-person action/adventure Star Wars title. You will be working closely with the creative director and studio leadership during the production, launch and live operations of the game.

What you will do:

  • Help lead the game design on a high profile Star Wars title
  • Develop and lead the creation of innovative and engaging game mechanics through iterative prototyping while maintaining EA’s high standard of quality.
  • Work with the creative director to define the design vision of the game taking in consideration high level creative and business goals.

  • 5+ years industry experience working as a game designer on AAA titles.
  • Broad knowledge of game design, game mechanics, level layout, game balancing concepts and techniques.
  • Experience with HD Console game design.

Electronic Arts is seeking a Senior Art Director to lead the art direction efforts for a new Star Wars title. As a Sr. Art Director, you are responsible for the visual quality, bringing the team under a consistent and unified direction and utilizing ground breaking techniques and tools.

Working closely with the Game Director, Executive Producer, Art Directors and Producers, the Sr. Art Director will define the game’s visual direction using cutting edge techniques from film and games to deliver unprecedented visuals for our product.

  • Collaborate closely as a member of the Game leadership team to deliver world-class AAA games and experiences that delight users and meet business goals
  • The Sr. AD also works with external teams including outsourcing partners and is expected to communicate and maintain the vision on an international basis.

  • Good knowledge of existing Star Wars IP & Art style & tone
  • HD console game development and / or film experience

I’m quite sure not many will be surprised about the fact that the game will be a third person action adventure, as that’s the genre that Hennig herself mastered with the Uncharted series. I’m also quite positive that the idea of an Uncharted-like set in the Star Wars universe will turn quite a few heads.

In addition to that, looks like Electronic Arts plans to fire all the visuals big guns for the game, that is most probably be on consoles, looking at the experience requirements.

Something tells me that Star Wars fans are in for a treat. Truly awesome games based on the franchise have been few and far between, so we can only hope that the Force will be with Amy and with the new hires that will work with her at Visceral.

Patriotic Duck Diaper

By: on July 04, 2014

Did you know that poultry cannot be potty trained? Of course you did. It's why your pet duck Precious keeps peeing on your couch and quacking out poos on every rug in the house. Not to mention that, despite every movie, cartoon, and Animal Planet special you've seen depicting ducks marching in neat little rows in the wild, when you try to take your feathered friend for a walk it's complete pandemonium! Chaotic flapping, zigzagging waddles, feathers everywhere. Your duck needs a diaper. And a harness. And preferably an apparatus that serves as both. And especially preferably one that is patriotic in its design, and pays homage to the stars and stripes. Because whether it's Independence day or a random hump day in October, the fact that we in the United States have access to deluxe diaper harnesses for full-grown ducks, handmade and custom-sized by Nettie and Alex of PartyFowl reminds us nothing if not this: America. Fuck yeah.

Duck diapers and harnesses can also be sewn to fit geese, chickens, and other household poultry that might do something on your coffee table other than sit there inanimately waiting for you to eat it. PartyFowl's unique "suits" stretch along bodies and over tail feathers, loop around necks, and buckle with adjustable straps to ensure proper fit. The straps connect to a pouch that sits directly under the duck's cloaca, or urination/defecation hole, and is big enough to hold half a disposable baby diaper for liquid absorption and solid entrapment. The pouch is accessible for diaper swapping without removing the entire harness. Obviously, they can get wet and are washable.

The Patriotic Duck Diaper is a top Dude Gift for the Pet Lover pick.

Hours before the outbreak and eventual quarantine of a building in a nearby town, the friends and family of Clara (Leticia Dolera) and Koldo (Diego Martín) gather for their wedding. Unfortunately for the happy couple, one of their guests is Uncle Victor (Emilio Mencheta), a veterinarian who was recently bitten by one of his patients. By the time the newlyweds are having their first dance, Uncle Victor is vomiting blood, and it's not much longer before the ceremony is trashed by vicious, bloodthirsty demon-zombies, standing between Clara, Koldo, and happily ever after.

The first two [•REC] films were of a pair, following the same story of a late-night TV crew, a couple of firefighters and police officers, and the terrified residents of an apartment who discover they've been labeled a health hazard and locked inside. The found footage flicks were co-directed by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, and were a huge success for Filmax, which excitedly greenlit two more sequels on the strength of [•REC]²'s box office performance. The twist: this time, neither film would be found footage, and Balagueró and Plaza would direct each film separately. [•REC]³: Genesis is Plaza's effort; Balagueró's [•REC]⁴: Apocalypse is slated to shoot in early 2013.

Fans of franchises are always resistant to significant change, but let's get this out of the way upfront: there's nothing wrong with [•REC]³'s stylistic change in principle. Although the premise is built into the title, there are plenty of ways Plaza could've naturally played with and branched out beyond the format. All artists strive for freedom and new ideas, and if Plaza and Balagueró feel that found footage no longer has anything to offer them or the series creatively, it's understandable and commendable that they want to try something different.

At the same time, while it's fine in theory, it stinks in execution, because Genesis first spends a significant amount of time refusing to commit to its new style, then fails to do anything particularly interesting with it once it does. The movie opens with the nice, tongue-in-cheek selection of the "PLAY" option on a wedding video DVD, but the segment of raw footage that follows goes on way too long before the title finally comes up and the film jumps to a traditional narrative style. Personally, the second film in the series was most interesting, because it developed its baddies beyond generic zombies and into an interesting demon-zombie hybrid. Although Plaza has the creatures tear apart the wedding with a little flair (some of them literally fly out of the projection screen in the dance hall), the new technique reverses some of that creativity, trading first-person intensity for standard zombie death scenes. Plaza also ignores perfect opportunities to integrate some series flavor by refusing to cut to cell phone cameras, security cam feeds, etc., which feels like a big missed opportunity.

Some of this could be forgiven if [•REC]³ fully represented the change of tone it also seems to want to go for: the time-tested transition from horror into horror-comedy. There's plenty of comic potential in nervous Clara and wimpy Koldo's journey to becoming demon-slaughtering badasses, but Plaza and his writers spend more time on the mechanics of keeping them separated from one another (the film's conflict) than the characters themselves, who remain woefully underdeveloped. Business with Koldo putting on a suit of armor and the package shot of Clara wielding a chainsaw really don't amount to anything, much less Army of Darkness-style mayhem. Plaza also sets up fun characters like Koldo's younger cousin Adrian (Àlex Monner) and goofy cameraman Atun (Borja Glez. Santaolalla) and then basically forgets about them once the mayhem starts.

Although the first 40 or 50 minutes of [•REC]³ are tolerable and keep the viewer hopeful the film has a bigger plan up its sleeve, that hope slowly dissipates as the film drags on into the second half, where the characters suddenly get dumber and dumber, whittling away goodwill and patience by taking an eternity to make obvious decisions. If there was any chance of the film working even as a curiosity piece for fans, it's definitely gone long before the film crawls to an inevitable conclusion, becoming outright annoying in the last 15 minutes as a final insult. Plaza may have had good intentions with this one, but the result is definitely more "red-headed step-child" than "intriguing twist."

Sony released the first [•REC] in standard definition in the US, then let magnolia pick up the slack for the sequel. Although magnolia also brought [•REC]³ to theaters, Sony has home video duties again, offering Genesis on DVD only. It's a pretty standard package: the poster art is retained, there is no insert, and the disc is housed in a plastic-reducing Amaray case.

The Video and Audio
Well, 21 minutes of this 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen presentation are intentionally crummy-looking, with visible interlacing, weak color, etc. The other 59 are on the strong end of standard definition, appearing generally well-rendered and free of artifacts but exhibiting a noticeable softness that gets in the way of fine detail in anything but close-ups. Blacks might be a little crushed, but I didn't spot any artifacts, and whites are a little hot, but that seems to be either intentional or part of Sony's traditional transformation of whites to very light grays. Scenes drenched in red light also look a little oversaturated, but all in all, this is a fine effort.

Spanish Dolby Digital 5.1 is fine but unimpressive, delivering across all channels but never really blowing my socks off. Perhaps more interesting things were being done in the previous two films, but the roaring and gnashing of teeth all seems fairly middle-of-the-road to me. Some bassy echoes during the wedding footage are nicely evocative, but that's about it. English subtitles and English captions for the deaf and hard of hearing are provided.

The Extras
No interviews or behind-the-scenes material is included, but there's a fair amount of extra footage here: an extensive reel of deleted scenes (23:15), and a chunk of outtakes (2:47). The only problem? 15 minutes of the deleted scenes are from the movie's already overlong pre-title sequence, and the rest are not very interesting -- the most you'll get here is an unnecessary explanation of how the authorities find out about the incident.

A promo for Blu-Ray and trailers for Quarantine 2: Terminal, Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning, Resident Evil: Damnation, and "Breaking Bad": Season 4 play before the main menu. No trailer for [•REC]³: Genesis is included.

Even for fans of the series, [•REC]³: Genesis is a disappointment. As a horror fan and sequel lover myself, I know that most of them are going to rent it regardless, but I have to recommend skipping it.

Freeport-McMoRan Inc. has announced the sale of its 80% interest in the Candelaria/Ojos del Salado copper mining operations and infrastructure to Toronto-based Lundin Mining Corp. for $1.8 billion in cash. Pending Q4 regulatory approvals, $2 million is contingent on 5% of net copper revenues through 2019 based on average realized prices.

“This represents another important step in our debt reduction,” said Freeport-McMoRan CEO Richard Adkerson in a statement. “We remain committed to focusing on our portfolio of high-quality assets;” Phoenix-based Freeport forecasts net after-tax profits of $1.5 billion.

As of Q4 2013, Candelaria/Ojos enjoyed recoverable reserves of 4 billion copper lb and 1.1 million gold oz. Consolidated production through Q3 2014 totaled 169 million copper lb and 42,000 gold oz. The project lies 12 miles south of Copiapó, in northern Chile’s Atacama province.

[quote=SCOTT26;11158856]Think of BMW M Performance Automobiles giving the M cars equipment and technology they refuse to on the current M cars.

I think I know what you're saying--the point of the new M performance line is to allow certain technologies exclusive to ///M to show up in a non M car. But I have to ask...isn't that kind of the point of having the M series? To keep certain things exclusive to ///M, which is supposed to represent the craziest and maddest BMWs? What is the reasoning of having the ///M brand if it isn't easily distinguishable, from a performance standard, than the other "regular" models in the lineup?

You've just made the point being echoed here by so many on the board. By pushing that technology downstream, you are in effect diluting the ///M brand.

Question regarding brake sensor for new brake pads

I just had my rear brake pads replaced by the dealer under warranty. There was still 11k miles left on the pads according to the wear sensor. Afterwards, when I check the mileage indicator via Idrive, it still states I have 11k miles left. This is even with the brake pads being new. When I called the service guy about resetting the brake pad wear indicator, he told me that it could not be done, and that it would stay at 11k for a while or until the brake pads were worn to about 11k miles left.

Is it true that the wear sensor for the brake pads cannot be reset up to a given point, or were my pads just not replaced?

Program Descriptions

Creating a Customer Experience Your Clients Expect Today
Providing good customer service is no longer good enough. Today’s consumers are changing fast. Their expectations of what makes an excellent customer experience are changing even more quickly. Successful agencies that look toward the future will be adapting and changing as fast or faster than the consumers they serve. This program provides a roadmap for what it takes to create an experience that will keep customers coming back.

Managing E&O Exposures in a 24/7 World
Technology plays a vital role in effectively managing today’s insurance agency. The same technology also presents risks and challenges that need to be addressed and managed to minimize errors and omissions claims. This class will explore various techniques being used by agencies today, and the E&O challenges these technologies create. Email, electronic documents, remote workers, interactive websites, company and agency service centers, and client self-service are some of the topics tackled. Specific recommendations on how to reduce an agency’s exposure to potential problems are provided. These issues are not going away. Attend to learn how to protect your organization.

Going Beyond Best Practices
Best practices have been a tool agencies have used to gauge how their operation stacks up to other agencies by looking at what’s worked in the past. Looking at past successes no longer guarantees future success. How we sell, market, communicate, collaborate, innovate, and learn are all changing faster than ever. Going beyond best practices helps agencies learn how to look ahead at what will be successful as they test, experiment, fail, learn, and get better at creating an excellent customer experience. Agencies that are willing to look ahead will be the successful companies in the future. A Beyond Best Practice Agency is not satisfied with being in the top 25%; they strive to be in the top 1% and are the leaders that other agencies follow.

A Balanced Approach to Agency Marketing
The marketing activities that agencies have relied on for many years to retain existing clients and generate new business are not working as well as in the past. The new consumer is using the Internet for researching all types of purchases, including insurance policies. New mobile computing platforms, including iPads, smartphones, and other mobile devices are redefining what it means to “stay in touch.”

Even with all the new “stuff,” people still want to buy from people. Moreover, this is why independent agencies should not be afraid of this transformation. Companies can take advantage of this change and grow their agencies if they are willing to think differently about marketing and sales. This presentation details the six key elements of a successful strategy that will produce increased retention and generate new business.

Becoming a Master of Internet Presence
Showing up on a Google search results page is a key way to generate new business. However, being found on the Internet takes much more than having an old agency website and a Facebook page. Maximizing your Internet presence so that anyone can find you requires understanding how search engines work and then learning the specific steps that anyone can take to increase his or her chances of being visible in a search. The good news is that it costs little to nothing to get started. This presentation details what you need to do to get started.

The Benefits of Mastering LinkedIn
LinkedIn—the leading social platform for professionals—now has over 93 million members in the U.S. The networking, referral, and prospect research opportunities are vast for insurance agents and brokers—if they take advantage of all LinkedIn has to offer.

Client Information Security: Protecting Your Agency & Clients
Personal information is at the core of every insurance organization, ranging from customer information to employee information to operational information to financial reporting. If leaked, stolen, hacked or altered in any way, it may impact the organization’s revenues and profits, reputation and brand, customer perception, and may result in regulatory or legal action.

With high-speed data lines, cloud-based platforms accessed through Internet browsers, VoIP phone systems, and active customer friendly websites, why do we all gather at a single expensive location to work?

Re: “Don't Recycle That Plastic

Posted to Don Mclealy, you are dead wrong. All the plastics he listed that can't be recycled simply CANNOT be recycled. They are made of polymer chains that bond together to make the plastic. The chains in the plastics listed as un-recyclable (4's, 5's and some 7's for example) cannot be recycled back to the original product because we have not developed the technology to reform those bonds. Simply melting the product down, like in metals and glass, to reform it doesn't work, so science is trying to develop ways to reform the bonds using heat or chemical reactions.

As of yet, the best recycling method is to cut the plastic into flakes and then reprocess it into plastic materials using mostly new product and the recycled material as filler. If you were to use the recycled product it wouldn't bond and would break under any amount of stress. so just stay away from plastic, and when you do buy it DO NOT recycle it. Even the kinds you can recycle are not worth it. They make a weaker product for more money. Isn't think thats the definition of a useless product?

Red Rice and Apple Salad in Romaine Spears

Red Rice and Apple Salad with Romaine spears

Early Autumn Light

Artisan Romaine

“Another man, but he was crazy, said that someday there’d be a way, maybe ice, maybe some other way, to get a peach like this here I got in my hand clear to Philadelphia.”

East of Eden, John Steinbeck

The morning light had just climbed past the horizon. A patchwork quilt of chartreuse, emerald, scarlet and a violet tinged sage green blanketed the view from Spreckels to the south-western city limits of Salinas. The sheen of iridescent fall light lingered on Tanimura and Antle’s fields of Artisan® Lettuces and Artisan® Sweet Broccoli. I was charmed by the vibrant fields bursting with stellar produce just ten minutes from my home. Tanimura and Antle is a company rich in the history of agriculture in the Salinas Valley. Leaders in agricultural innovation and growth three generations of the Tanimura and Antle families have farmed the valley making a strong contribution to the wide variety of fresh produce we enjoy at the grocery store today.

Although it will do in a pinch, I am not fond of bagged lettuces or pre-packaged salad kits. Lettuce that is still attached to it’s core is fresher and retains more nutrients. Still flush with moisture these lettuces are more flavorful. And unlike bagged lettuce, freshly harvested head lettuce has not been rinsed in chlorine or placed in a MAP bag or container to lengthen shelf life. I was pleased to learn that Tanimura and Antle hand cuts and then packages their lettuce in the field. The freshly packaged lettuce is transported from the field to the cooler without any stops at a processing plant. The harvest of all things green in Salinas Valley winds down in the month of October. By Thanksgiving lettuce will be harvested further south in California and then later in Yuma, Arizona. There is no turning back; it is autumn.

Preparing Red Rice Salad

I developed this recipe just for Tanimura and Antle’s Artisan Romaine. These little heads of romaine are a spirited lettuce. With a nod to the Salinas Valley’s heritage of crisp iceberg lettuce and flavor that is sweeter than regular romaine I have found a new favorite. Artisan Romaine makes a mighty fine updated wedge or chopped salad but it shines as a crunchy scoop or wrapper for all manner of savories. Dips, wraps, tacos and any type of scoopable salad would happily nestle inside a leaf of crisp Artisan Romaine.

The Red Rice and Apple Salad is fresh and filling without being heavy. With a light whisper of dressing from the Honey Mustard Vinaigrette and a serious variety of crunch from romaine, apple, celery and pecan, layers of flavor make this an enticing vegetarian meal. My jaded taste testers both recommend this salad. While Mr. R kept scooping more, picky daughter had leftovers for lunch the next day. Use very fresh, small leaves of romaine lettuce. It must be crisp enough to add crunch and to hold and eat the salad. Pack any leftovers on a bed of chopped romaine the next day for lunch; the salad will still be fresh and vibrant.

Artisan Romaine

Red rice is a revelation in nutrition and color. It only takes twenty minutes to cook and has a sweet nutty flavor. At room temperature and even the next day the red rice retains it’s firm texture. Cook the red rice until just a few of the grains begin to burst open, but not until the rice becomes mushy. Cool the red rice throughly before making the rest of the salad. With a red and green palette the Red Rice and Apple Salad in Romaine Spears would be a healthy and elegant addition to any holiday meal.

Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
2T apple cider vinegar
2T olive oil
2T grape seed or avocado oil
1T honey
1t French style mustard, such as Grey Poupon
1/2t fine grain sea salt
1/4t ground black pepper
Red Rice and Apple Salad
1/3C pecans
3 small Gala or Honey Crisp apples
1 lemon, juiced
2C red rice cooked, cooled (1 cup uncooked)
1/3C finely minced red onion
1/2C thinly sliced celery
1/2C dried cherries
1 head Artisan Romaine lettuce or other small romaine lettuce

Red Rice and Apple Salad with Romaine Spears

  1. In a small bowl add the apple cider vinegar and while whisking; slowly pour in the olive oil and then the grape seed oil to emulsify. Whisk in the honey, mustard, salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the oven to 350°. Spread the pecans across the surface of a sheet pan and toast for 8-10 minutes until they are fragrant and turn a deep mahogany brown. Cool and then chop.
  3. Dice the apples in 1/3 inch small bite sized pieces. Place the chopped apples in a small bowl with the juice of a lemon and enough water to cover completely. Drain the apples just before mixing the salad ingredients together.
  4. In a medium sized bowl add the cooled red rice, pecans, red onion, celery, dried cherries and drained apples. Fold together to combine. Add the Honey Mustard Vinaigrette and throughly mix together.
  5. Remove the individual leaves from the head of romaine lettuce, rinse and spin or pat dry. Serve a small scoop of Red Rice and Apple Salad in each spear of lettuce. Or chop the romaine in 3/4” wide slices and serve the salad atop the bed of lettuce.

A visit to Tanimura and Antle’s lettuce and broccoli fields between their home office in Spreckels and south-west Salinas was a magnificent morning adventure. I was given Artisan Romaine and Artisan Sweet Broccoli for recipe testing. This is not a sponsored post; the recipe and opinions are my own.

38 Responses to Red Rice and Apple Salad in Romaine Spears

  1. This is just lovely, as always. I’m intrigued by the red rice, which I have yet to try and love the idea of serving it with/in romaine. I am still looking forward to a chance to meet and cook with you. I think I might want a photography lesson too :-). Beautiful. Fave shot might be the lettuce in the window.

    • Deb says:

      Oh Beth! Thank you so much for the gracious comment, much appreciated! The red rice was a revelation, it cooks much faster than brown and has a lovely nutty flavor and of course color!

  2. Hannah says:

    This is a stunning salad, Deb! I love your presentation – so pretty and tempting. What a delicious way to capture fall’s apples!

  3. What a refreshing and satisfying recipe. I love using lettuce as a vessel for grain and couscous salads.

  4. Carol Sacks says:

    What a clever recipe. And so colorful. Lovely post, as always, Deb!

  5. Beautiful writing, and beautiful photos! Kudos.

  6. Such a gorgeous field, Deb! I love how you have food styled these artisan romaine lettuce and how tasty this salad is…

  7. Deb, just like the freshness I’ve been enjoying from the apples we picked right from tree, I can imagine that freshly harvested lettuce must taste like a whole different animal from the bagged lettuce I usually pick up at the market. This salad, with its crunch from the apple, nuts, and romaine, and the tangy bite from the mustardy vinaigrette, is the perfect combination of flavors and textures. And I must say, your photographs are just beautiful.

    • Deb says:

      Thank you Mary! Your lovely comment brightened my day! I agree, there really is a difference with freshly harvested lettuce!

  8. Beautiful photos, you captured the light perfectly! I haven’t tried red rice but now I must – your salad sounds lovely for fall!

  9. Deena kakaya says:

    Gorgeous pictures and a vibrant and delicious sounding recipe. By husband and used to eat lettuce wraps from our favourite Chinese restaurant lots when we were at university. I want to try your pretty recipe out, I think it’ll be a big hit x

    • Deb says:

      Thank you for the gracious comment Denna! Lettuce wraps are underrated. The key is to use the freshest lettuce possible.

  10. Stacy says:

    This is my kind of salad Deb! I discovered red rice myself just a few months back and I love its nutty bite and flavor. Perfect in a salad. I am not at all surprised that your daughter ate the leftovers for the lunch the next day. I’d have probably beat her to it by breakfast time though. 🙂 How blessed you are to live near such beautiful fields of produce.

  11. Valentina says:

    Thank you for sharing about Artisan. I’m so happy to know about it. This is such a gorgeous collection of ingredients and that light shining through the lettuce leaves is so pretty!

  12. Patty says:

    Beautiful light in your photos-I don’t think romaine lettuce has ever looked so appealing both on the counter and in the fields 😉 I could live on fresh salads like this one you’ve created-just a beauty Deb 😉

  13. These photos are just beautiful! I had no idea that the some lettuce was treated with such harsh measures. This salad sounds like the perfect way to celebrate such a naturally perfect produce. Beautiful recipe.

    • Deb says:

      Thank you Kate! All “bagged” lettuce and salad mixes are treated to reduce harmful bacteria/pathogens and lengthen shelf life. On occasion, I purchase bagged lettuce, but it is not my favorite. I find lettuce still attached to it’s core to be more flavorful and fresh tasting.

  14. Beautiful presentation, Deb! I’ve seen this kind of food presentation in some restaurants, where they use the large individual leaves/spears as a serving bed for a small scoop of something yummy. Just like in this recipe – this belongs in a fancy restaurant! 🙂

  15. I agree about those packaged leaves, they can be easy to use, but nothing will ever compare to the freshly picked thing. Your pics are amazing, love the way the light reflects on the lettuce Deb! I will go hunting for red rice, this salad sound perfect for me.

  16. The photos of lettuces are beautiful! The little Romaine spears look so perfect and crisp. And, the red rice and apple salad is a great way to fill them!

  17. @yumivore says:

    Stopping by for a nibble and leaving a note (I’m well behind). Loved sharing this earlier this month!

  18. shannon says:

    what a beautiful starter! you know, i’m not a fan of bagged lettuce either: sometimes in the midwest (depending on the season and what i need for a recipe) it’s unavoidable to get the packaged variety, but when i can, i like the farmers’ market sort, or at least the whole shebang versus the pre-handled stuff. that photos of the artisan lettuces is gorgeous…makes me want to run through all that purple and green. 🙂

  19. What a great salad not only for the holidays but for all seasons. In addition, it’s gluten-free!

Breakfast Challenge Tip 5: Fight Fat with Breakfast

By Hilary Meyer, February 28, 2012 - 5:46pm

  • Share

One of the easiest ways to eat healthier is to have breakfast every day. Each day this week, we will post a new, easy tip to help you adopt this healthy habit for just one week.

Here’s today’s tip:

Tip 5: Fight Fat with Breakfast
Pictured Recipe: Scandinavian Muesli

Yes, you read that correctly! A recent study in The Journal of Nutrition found that eating a breakfast made with “slow-release” carbohydrates, such as oatmeal or bran cereal, three hours before you exercise may help you burn more fat. Here’s why: in the study, eating “slow-release” carbohydrates didn’t spike blood sugar as high as eating refined carbohydrates, such as white toast. In turn, insulin levels didn’t spike as high and because insulin plays a role in signaling your body to store fat, having lower levels may help you burn fat.

Not in the mood for oatmeal? Here are some delicious recipes to help you fight fat.

Acadiana by Carl A. Brasseaux

US$ 30.00
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
“Acadiana” summons up visions of a legendary and exotic world of moss-draped cypress, cocoa-colored bayous, subtropical wildlife, and spicy indigenous cuisine. The ancestral home of Cajuns and Creoles, this twenty-two-parish area of south Louisiana encompasses a broad range of people, places, and events. In their historical and pictorial tour of the region, author Carl A. Brasseaux and photographer Philip Gould explore in depth this fascinating and complex world. As passionate documentarians of all things Cajun and Creole, Brasseaux and Gould delve into the topography, culture, and economy of Acadiana. In two hundred color photographs of architecture, landscapes, wildlife, and artifacts, Gould portrays the rich history still visible in the area, while Brasseaux’s engagingly written narrative covers the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century story of settlement and development in the region. Brasseaux brings the story up to date, recounting devastating hurricanes and coastal degradation. From living-history attractions such as Vermilionville, the Acadian Village, and Longfellow-Evangeline State Park to music venues, festivals, and crawfish boils, Acadiana depicts a resilient and vibrant way of life and presents a vivid portrait of a culture that continues to captivate, charm, and endure. For all those who want to explore these people and this place, Brasseaux and Gould have provided an insightful written and visual history.
