Piece of Mind

by Todd Ciolek, Sep 18th 2013

Last week I posted some artwork that was supposedly for a new Guilty Gear game. At the time, the prevailing opinion was that the illustrations came from a pachislot title, but I hoped that they were for Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign-, the next proper iteration of the series. I hoped that it was a preview of just what we'd see in an actual fighting game. I hoped that the unfamiliar characters and towering monsters were new additions to the Guilty Gear brand of crazy-ass heavy-metal-anime fighting.

So yeah, the art's really for a pachinko-slot machine. It's called Guilty Gear Vastedge XT, and it shows off animated attacks and brief cutscenes when the player works those pachislot knobs and levers.

I'll never play Vastedge XT unless I happen across the game in some pachinko-rich establishment, and I'm at ease with that. It's something one must accept when following a media franchise from a foreign country: certain pieces of it will be beyond your convenient reach, whether those pieces are in books, drama CDs, or some other format that just isn't profitable enough to translate. I learned this the hard way back in 2001, when I realized that I'd need to import both a text-heavy Saturn game and a text-heavy Dreamcast game just to get the whole story for Martian Successor Nadesico.

I'm not even sure if Vastedge XT is part of Guilty Gear's fragmented canon or not; Sol Badguy looks like he's genuinely happy in the art above, so I'm leaning non-canonical. Even if it's a vital part of the storyline, I'll do fine in my ignorance. Fighting games, y'know?

Game Center CX remains one of the best things to come out of the whole retro-game movement. It finds adorable comedian Shinya Arino bumbling through notable and/or frustrating games of old, interspersed with visits to various game companies and related locations. The TV show built up quite a cult of personality over the last ten years, and it resulted in two DS titles filled with fictional NES-like games and a never-existent culture to surround them. It was naked, shameless pandering to nostalgia, and it worked so very, very well. Game Center CX: Arino in District 3 has the same idea, packing 15 faux-retro games into an adventure for Arino.

Of the six games shown so far, Saurus Boy looks the part of the quintessential NES side-scroller. Seemingly based on Capcom's Little Nemo: The Dream Master, it reveals new powers with each dinosaur costume donned by its hero, and it looks very much like a late-era Nintendo specimen. It also reminds me of the obscure bootleg game Jurassic Boy 2, but I doubt that was intentional.

Rumi and the Magic Broom has the familiar structure of Mario Bros. (the original, not the Super one), as its witch heroine bumps enemies around by hitting the blocks on which they stand. The twist comes in the gameplay: attacks screw with Rumi's control scheme.

Break Shoot mixes a few ideas into a back-and-forth Pong duel. Players bounce a ball across the screen, powering up their attacks and wiping out members of the opponent's team. It's a little bit Windjammers, a little bit Bang Bead and a little bit dodgeball, and I hope there's a multiplayer mode for all of it.

The rest of the revealed games pay the same sort of tribute. Wing Hero (above) is a horizontal shooter where players blow into the 3DS microphone to stay aloft, and we should be nice and avoid comparing it to Sky Kid. Soma's Treasure is a maze game similar to Pac-Man and Lock 'N Chase, and the collectible items can only be seen when a good chunk of the player's surroundings are blocked off. Lastly, Noboru is a climbing game in the style of 1970s arcade titles older than most of us.

Developer G.Rev will add eight more games to the lineup before the January 23 release date, and it's hard to say if it'll come here. XSEED Games localized the first title as Retro Game Collection but balked at the second one, citing the original's low sales and complicated licensing. With the 3DS region-lock in effect, it'll sting all the harder if the third Game Center CX anthology doesn't arrive here.

Bear with me for a moment. Back when Square Enix still believed in a Final Fantasy XIII multiverse project, they announced Final Fantasy Agito XIII for cell phones. Then it moved to the PSP and changed its name to Final Fantasy Type-0, though this didn't help it come to North America. Now Square Enix announces Final Fantasy Agito for iOS and Android systems, and they're supposedly bringing it here.

Agito's storyline is another permutation of the repeating world-cycle seen in Final Fantasy Type-0, with much of the first game's cast showing up in one form or another. The player's avatar is a blank-slate cadet, however, and his or her journey across the world of Orience is doled out in chapters. Characters progress through a job system, and their various abilities aid the player during battle. That's a fairly routine Final Fantasy approach, but director Hajime Tabata has a branching, player-directed storyline in mind. That's a rarer sight in the franchise.

Agito will be free to play upon its release in Japan, with special items and other enhancements costing extra. Tabata claims that players can finish the game without spending money, which seems a pleasant contrast to the Final Fantasy: All The Bravest debacle. More intriguing is the promise of localization for Agito—and Tabata's hints that Final Fantasy Type-0 may show up in North America after all. In an interview with USgamer, the director confirmed that a largely complete translation of Type-0 exists, and that Square Enix shelved it due to the dwindling PSP market. Perhaps they'll reconsider now.

Capcom was a bit cagey with the release date for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, but many of us didn't care about that. We cared about the revelation that the game would be available only as a download through the 3DS eShop, thus denying us another piece of polymer packaging to fill our shelves and closets and lives. At the very least, this prompted a lower price for the game. It'll be $29.99 when it shows up this October 24. This doesn't include the whale-centric bonus case, “Turnabout Return,” or the extra costumes for Phoenix and his assistants. Capcom almost certainly will sell those for additional fees.

Some still might grumble over being denied a physical copy, yet the question arises: is any Phoenix Wright fan going to ignore the game just because it's digital-only? I can understand the preference for material goods at full price; if I'm paying over twenty bucks for a game, I normally want the recourse of selling it if I happen to hate it. But this is Phoenix Wright. It's easy to see what we're getting: the same goofball investigations and courtroom theatrics as before, now with an older Phoenix and his energetic new assistant, Athena Sykes (shown above fending off the pet raptor of rival prosecutor Blackquill). Are those of you who followed the series through Trials and Tribulations and the Apollo Justice changeover going to abandon it now just because the new game doesn't come in plastic? I hope not.

One Piece goes many places in the video game world: action titles, fighters, arena brawlers, and even traditional RPGs. Most of these are hard sells in the West, now that the anime bubble is over and One Piece' s popularity contracted a little, but Namco Bandai still comes through with the Pirate Warriors games, those hybrids of One Piece and Dynasty Warriors. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 arrived on the PlayStation 3 earlier this month (download-only, that is), so I went to producer Hisashi Koinuma and director Tomoyuki Kitamura for some short answers about what goes into Pirate Warriors.

Why do you think One Piece lends itself to this type of game?

Kitamura: We feel that that the One Piece characters' superhuman abilities and exhilarating actions match well with the Dynasty Warriors series, where the action system is knocking down countless enemy characters.

How do you think Pirate Warriors 2 improves on the original Pirate Warriors?

Koinuma: We developed Pirate Warriors 2 with the concept of making it more “Dynasty Warrior-like” than the prequel. Because we received a lot of feedback from the fans that wanted an increased number of playable characters, we have added many more characters this time.

Why did you replace the first game's Crew Strike system with the new Partner System?

Koinuma: It came from users' suggestions and opinions about the last title. They were used as reference for improvement to include more “Dynasty Warriors” action with an increased sense of exhilaration.

This is the first One Piece game in which Perona is playable, right? How did you integrate her moves into the game?

Kitamura: Perona's moves are very comical in comparison to other characters. Her most memorable moves from the original series, such as Negative Hollow, turn her opponents “negative.” They can be seen in the game.

What's the most difficult part of turning One Piece into a game? Is there any part of the story, such as the large ship-to-ship battles, that presents a problem?

Kitamura: One Piece has numerous existing fans that hold a wide range of emotional attachments to the series. It is very challenging to satisfy everyone, but we approached the development of this game with the intention of providing a fun experience for as many fans as possible while treasuring the appeal of the original series.

How did you come up with the game's original storyline? Did Eiichiro Oda or anyone from the anime series staff contribute to the plot?

Kitamura: The game's original story was created to allow characters outside of the Straw Hat Crew to flourish and have a chance in the spotlight. Mr. Oda is not directly involved. However, we developed the storyline with the cooperation of Shueisha and Toei Animation.

Who is your favorite character to play in the game? Who's your favorite One Piece character overall?

Koinuma: As a playable character, I like Marco, one of the characters we had a difficult time with during development. My favorite character in One Piece overall is Kuzan. In One Piece Film: Z he plays an active part and I like his humaneness.

Developer: From Software

MSRP: $49.99/ $149.99 (Special Edition, PS3 only)

You may not enjoy Armored Core: Verdict Day if you're the snippy, factually fixated type who grumbles about scientific inaccuracies seeded for the sake of drama. Verdict Day unfolds in an environmentally ravaged future where the congealed remnants of nations go to war over the planet's dwindling resources. They do this by deploying massive, heavily armed battle-mecha that can't be all that fuel-efficient or economically practical. But let's not spoil the war for everyone.

Verdict Day's bleak future naturally results in all sorts of battlefield chaos, and the game's trailer is awash with war cries, threats, confusion, betrayal, casual nihilism and all of the other heated emotions you'd expect from, say, a Gundam throwdown. There's also some oblique narration about God and salvation, making for the most bizarre fusion of religion and robots since the Xenosaga wars. The actual storyline is a bit more grounded in the brownish-gray slurry of mecha warfare, as the player meets up with mercenaries and tries to survive a three-way conflict. A mysterious group called the Foundation and a squad called the Death God Unit also figure into it, but I'm sure they can be trusted.

Many Armored Core fans aren't so concerned with narrative, of course. The series always sells itself with a wide array of customizable machines, and Verdict Day offers over a hundred new parts, including weapons and chassis components, on top of the already extensive Armored Core selection. The game maintains its single-player mode where players can escape damaged mecha just as they did in Armored Core V, but the shootouts and tactics now rely more on an entire squad. That's why Verdict Day includes an “operator mode,” where the player can design and program mechs to run on AI routines, creating either combat partners or an entire unit of computer-controlled robots. From Software expanded the online element along the same lines. The multiplayer mode features about 56 maps, and players can use their screenshots for the game's citizen-journalist news reports.

It sounds promising, but the last few Armored Cores didn't endear themselves to longtime fans. If Verdict Day turns into another sluggish disappointment…well, at least they'll have pictures of it.

Beautiful pattern and when I received it was shocked to find the chart was so small and difficult to read. Will take it to get it enlarged and see what happens or get a larger magnifying glass. Can't wait to start it and know it will take a while to finish it.

Airline Shares Crashed: What You Need to Know

Before you go, we thought you'd like these...
Before you go close icon

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.

What: Airline stocks are falling fast today, as the rising price of oil has investors fleeing the industry. United Continental (NYS: UAL) , Delta Air Lines (NYS: DAL) , and JetBlue Airways (NAS: JBLU) have fallen 10%, while US Airways (NYS: LCC) is down 12%.

So what: Oil is up 3.5% today to a high of $106.48, the highest price we've seen since May 2011. Since oil directly impacts jet fuel prices and therefore variable operating costs, the theory is that earnings will be dinged as a result.

Beyond just impacting costs, there is also concern that high energy prices could put a damper on our economic recovery just as it's getting rolling. If that happens, travel will head down again, hurting the revenue side of the business.

Now what: This is why owning airline stocks is a risky business. There are so many things out of your control, like the price of oil and the macroeconomy, which is a major contributing factor to very volatile earnings.

Buying or selling at this point is really a bet on oil prices, and in turn a bet on how Iran, Syria, and other countries in the Middle East will impact the global flow of oil. Right now there isn't any short-term danger that supply will be disrupted, but if Iran tries to close the Strait of Hormuz or Syria's chaos spreads, all bets are off. This just isn't the time this Fool would attempt to get into airline stocks.

Welcome to the Army Rumour Service, ARRSE

The UK's largest and busiest UNofficial military website.

The heart of the site is the forum area, including:

  1. I was thinking the other day, my two favourite hobbies, Rape and Fishing are very similar in a way, - loads of sitting quietly with excited expectation, then, a mad flurry of action ending with that same old dilemma.
    Do I kill it or let it go?

Who keeps locking da threads

Discussion in 'Current Affairs, News and Analysis' started by bokkatankie, Aug 9, 2011.

Welcome to the Army Rumour Service, ARRSE

The UK's largest and busiest UNofficial military website.

The heart of the site is the forum area, including:

  1. Have we got a new uber nazi mod, threads getting locked left right and center.

    Please provide justification for locking so many threads in one day.

    Or are not allowed to have fun anymore?
  2. He is a Nazi and hates coon speak such as "Da" instead of "The"
    • Like Like x 1
  3. The clue's in the title of the forum. 'The Serious Bit - Current Affairs and Analysis'.

    Fun threads go in the Naafi Bar.
  4. Dear God! ........................
  5. I have to agree with "Barking Spider" and his comment. This is not the time or place to fast and loose with a very serious issue. Whilst there is a need for black humour we should be mindful of those who have lost their business and homes. Needless to say our moderator has provided a new thread so that this issue may be further discussed.
  6. I see what you did there :)

  7. So why not just transfer the threads to the NAAFI as normal.

    But it is not just the Riot thread he appears to dislike anything and everything.
  8. I did not start the threads that are locked, you person (this not being the NAAFI).

    I've locked one thread today; the original riot one as it was huge and getting difficult to manage. I started a new one as it was a very popular topic.

    If you could point me towards the 'threads getting locked left, right and centre' I'll take a look.

    TheIronDuke LE Book Reviewer

    Do not show weakness Derek. We have discussed this. Tell the nasty boys to **** the **** of then return to Daddy. Daddy has ice cream. They cannot hurt you when Daddy has ice cream.
  11. I could see 4 on page one of top 50 alone when I logged on prior to posting the thread. If search for an ally star, celebrity tits, new combat kit etc., can run for 300 -400 pages why not the riot one, it was only on page 166, now I have to trawl throught a collection of about 10 different threads (would it not be helpful to consolidate them?) to pick up where I left he last one.

    It is not the end of the world, just a lack of consistency, that is all.

    The fingers one whilst in very bad taste was already in the Arrse hole so why shut, there has been much worse before.

    I know that I will get the usual but just asking.

    Ally star and the like don't tend to bring out the site's knuckle-draggers posting inflammatory balls and don't need as much attention. The riots one however did have a fair amount of frothing at the mouth and frankly, needed to be kept an eye on.

    Agreed. I'll do that.

    No clue. Wasn't me that locked it.
  13. Thanks, now you can lock this one :thumright:
  14. TheIronDuke

    TheIronDuke LE Book Reviewer

    Shut it. Men are talking.

    Oi, Sixty? Now that you are getting all consensual, can we have a SHEDS FORUM? Or do Nazis still stalk the ARRSE?
  15. Sixty:
    I fully aware of the difficulty with keeping up with the original thread. I could not even read all the posts as they came in. I am a mod on a very different website but if I had to deal with posts that rapidly I would end up in a padded cell.

    The problem arises from the fact that the thread that appears to be the replacement thread, "UK Riots and Looting II" appears to have been started as a bit of a game of "what actions would you take if..etc" but has become the primary rioting and looting thread although a scan of the last fifty seemed to have 8 or 9 other rioting and looting threads looking at different aspects of the problems.

    I, no doubt like many others, was following the main "Tottenham" thread to try to grasp the scope of the problem, what areas are affected etc, is it near friends and family etc. It appears that none of the current threads are doing this. If I had family, children, grandkids in the UK I might get a bit frantic trying to get information as the major news sources also seem unable to keep up with all of the disturbances in various parts of England. The only think that appears clear is that it has not yet spread to Orkney or the Shetlands.

    Good luck trying to herd the cats and please think about a Breaking riot news thread to let people interested find or post information and use other threads for the "in my day we would have opened up with our Martini-Henry's and..."

This mahogany desk is ornamented with a pattern done in the art of parquetry using maple and ribbon mahogany. Mostly known to be used in flooring, there is also a tradition of using parquetry in fine furniture. The pattern on this piece was inspired by the repeating patterns used in Moroccan architecture.

While it was designed using traditional techniques and patterns, the desk was also made to be used in the modern work environment. There are two dovetailed drawers flanking a pull out keyboard tray that is ergonomically placed below table top height. The face of the tray folds down flush, leaving the work surface unobstructed.

2015 ASLA Honors Announced

M. Paul Friedberg, FASLA, to receive ASLA Medal; the Office of James Burnett to receive Firm Award

The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) has announced its 2015 honors recipients. Selected by ASLA’s Board of Trustees, the honors represent the highest awards ASLA presents each year. The honors will be presented at the president’s dinner on November 9, held during the 2015 ASLA Annual Meeting & EXPO, November 6–9 in Chicago.

2015 Honors

ASLA Medal: M. Paul Friedberg, FASLA
M. Paul Friedberg, FASLA, will receive the ASLA Medal, the Society’s highest award for a landscape architect. A founder of M. Paul Friedberg and Partners in New York, Friedberg has designed public places that not only break the boundaries of traditional design, but also increase the quality of life for those who use these spaces. Some of his recognized public spaces include Peavey Plaza in Minneapolis, Pershing Park in Washington, D.C., and the 67th Street Playground in New York. He is the founder and professor emeritus of the Urban Landscape Architecture Program at City College of New York, the first urban-oriented undergraduate landscape architecture program to be located in a major city.

ASLA Design Medal: Thomas Balsley, FASLA
Thomas Balsley, FASLA, will receive the ASLA Design Medal in recognition of his exceptional design work. Balsley, the principal designer of the New York City-based firm Thomas Balsley Associates, has created numerous public spaces that enrich the lives of people and their communities. His work often exists in the margins of the city, the industrial edges, the waterfronts, and the scraps of land left over from the urban grid. His designs include Hunter’s Point South Waterfront Park and Riverside Park South in New York City, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park in Tampa, and Main Street Garden Park in Dallas.

Jot D. Carpenter Teaching Medal: Carl Steinitz, Hon. ASLA
Carl Steinitz, Hon. ASLA, will receive the Jot D. Carpenter Teaching Medal for significant and sustained excellence in landscape architecture education. For more than 50 years, Steinitz, a professor emeritus at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, has dedicated himself to the field of landscape architecture education. Underlying all of his work is the firm belief that landscape architects should be leaders in solving some of the most pressing issues of our time. Steinitz has influenced thousands of students worldwide with his teaching, and his methods and values influence the many who have gone on to be leaders in the field.

LaGasse Medal – Non-Landscape Architect: Gregory Long
Gregory Long will receive the LaGasse Medal for contributions to the management and conservation of natural resources and public landscapes. Long, the president and CEO of the New York Botanical Garden, has devoted 25 years to the restoration and revitalization of one of the world’s greatest botanical gardens and research institutions. ASLA recognizes him for achieving the remarkable resurgence of this century-old garden, often in times of challenging austerity.

Since 1995, the Design Trust has been a champion of the public space of New York City, and more significantly a leader and innovator for other cities.

The City of Scottsdale, Arizona, and McDowell Sonoran Conservancy will receive the Landscape Architecture Medal of Excellence. The award recognizes significant contributions to landscape architecture policy, research, education, project planning and design, or a combination of these items. Working in symbiotic collaboration, the conservancy and the city created a public–private partnership and have conserved for posterity more than 30,000 acres of mostly pristine Sonoran Desert. The McDowell Sonoran Preserve is now the largest urban preserve in the United States and will forever be sustained for the future enjoyment and benefit of all.

Dental Links and Things, 3-20-2012. Dental Lasers, CERECs, High Tech Dentistry & First Day of Spring!

Atlas Resell Management Happy 1st Day of Spring!

Encinitas Dentist Explains Benefits of Laser Dentistry

Laser Dentistry No doubt about it, lasers have had a profound impact on the practice of dentistry.  The technology continues to evolve at a breakneck clip and it will be exciting to see what the future of laser technology has in store for the dental profession.  Encinitas periodontist Ann Kania has a good post on the benefits of laser dentistry.  Here's some of the benefits she outlined:

  • General anesthesia is not required.
  • Estimates indicate that LANAP is as succussful as traditional periodontal surgery.
  • LANAP procedures reduce recovery time.
  • Dental lasers are safe for many patients with special needs, such as diabetes or hemophilia.
  • LANAP treatment often requires less time than traditional gum surgery.
  • Dental lasers seal gum tissue as they cut, which eliminates the need for stitches

American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Honors Contributions to Dental Education

The 2012 ADEA Annual Session & Exhibition is taking place in Orlando, Fla and has some honors to hand out.  For a complete list of those being honored, check out the link above.

Why Mercury is Still Used in Dentistry

Dr. David Kennedy discusses why mercury is still used by dentists.

Suni Provides Resources to Learn More About Cutting-Edge Imaging Technologies

If you're looking for dental lasers, digital sensors or another type of high end technology driven piece of dental equipment, Suni has some very nice resources that provide pertinent information.  Whether you want to compare CCD sensors with CMOS, or you're looking for information about the various types of lasers on the market, they've got a link for you. View some of the cutting edge technology items we have available in our store below:

Phosphor Plate Scanner Uses RFID to Simplify Workflow

Carestream Dental has released the CS 7600 designed to bridge the gap between conventional and digital x-ray imaging.  It comprises a scanner, reusable phosphor plates, acquisition software, disposable hygienic barrier envelopes, and an optional Scan & Go device.  From the article:

It is designed to capture, digitize, display, and store intraoral radiographic images and improve workflow in the process. The phosphor plates are exposed in the same way as traditional x-ray film; the images are then fed into the compact CR system and scanned using a laser. The image data from the plates is digitized, and the images are displayed on a monitor and saved to the user's computer.

These 'bridge' technologies are important for dentists that are working hard to make the transition to a full digital practice.  I would love to see more of these innovative systems entering the market as it eases the financial burden on dental practices that have to balance finances with securing the latest in technology.  We haven't seen any of these on the used market yet, but we do have a Gendex DenOptix available.

Bush Administration Wants to Delay Withdrawal From Iraq To Help John McCain

Discussion in 'Political Debate & Discussion' started by KenH, Sep 23, 2008.

  1. KenH

    KenH Active Member

    May 18, 2002
    A source tells ThinkProgress that White House communications staff were concerned that Maliki’s endorsement of the 2010 time line would damage Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) presidential campaign. Indeed, during an interview with Iraqi television last week (according to an Open Source Center translation), Maliki suggested that the U.S. presidential elections played a role:

    "Actually, the final date was really the end of 2010 and the period between the end of 2010 and the end of 2011 was for withdrawing the remaining troops from all of Iraq, but they asked for a change [in date] due to political circumstances related to the [U.S] domestic situation so it will not be said to the end of 2010 followed by one year for withdrawal but the end of 2011 as a final date." - Prime Minister Maliki

Set Information

The primary designs of this 50-card set are identical to those of N29, but these are placed on a much larger card with extraneous background detail. The set was produced in 1888 by Allen and Ginter as inserts for a larger tobacco package than those in which sets N28 and N29 were marketed. Cards of this set, which is backlisted, are considered to be much scarcer than their counterparts in N29.

Sambazon Supports Prop. 37 in California

Count the Sambazon team among those organic beverage entrepreneurs — including Mama Chia’s Janie Hoffman and Honest Tea’s Seth Goldman — who are publicly supporting Proposition 37, which would force companies using Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) to label their products as such.

Ryan Black, CEO of Sambazon

The company announced today that it had donated $10,000 to the California Right to Know campaign, which is organizing support for the ballot measure.

Many of the largest food and beverage companies, including Coca-Cola Co., Inc., PepsiCo, General Mills, and others are attempting to defeat Prop. 37.

Statement from Sambazon CEO Ryan Black is in the press release, below:

Sambazon Partners with California Right to Know Campaign to Encourage Consumers to Vote Yes on Proposition 37

Amazon Superfoods Company Stakes Claim in Fight Against GMOs

San Clemente, Calif. (Oct. 2, 2012) – Sambazon, the pioneer of organic Amazon superfoods, today announced its support of Proposition 37, the California Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, which, if passed, will mandate that labels of all food and beverages sold in the state of California disclose if the product contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs).  Sambazon is endorsing the initiative with a $10,000 donation to the California Right to Know campaign fund, California’s official Prop 37 organization and headquarters, and the company has committed to help educate and inspire consumers to join the non-GMO movement and vote “yes” on Prop 37 on Nov. 6.

“We have a right to know what’s in our food, plain and simple,” said Ryan Black, CEO and founder of Sambazon. “Multi-national food organizations and chemical companies are pumping over $30 million into defeating GMO labeling initiatives. This is an affront to transparency and runs counter to peoples’ desire to know what is actually in their food. Polls show more than 90 percent of Americans support the labeling of genetically modified food. We are committed to getting the word out about an issue that’s integral to us at Sambazon and the vast majority of consumers.”

 In an effort to energize people to take action in the Food Label Transparency Movement, Sambazon will also launch social media and grassroots efforts through a campaign called “Knowledge is Bliss.”

“Our support of California Prop 37 and the national Just Label It campaign flows from our belief that arming consumers with information to make educated choices about what they feed themselves and their families is fundamental,” continued Black. “Industrialized food corporations may prefer that we dwell in ignorance, but we believe knowledge and transparency is the best path forward. This is not a novel notion, as 40 plus countries already require labeling of genetically modified food. It’s time for us to take a stand in the United States and California Prop 37 is the front line of the battle for transparency, so that’s where we stand ready to fight for our right to know.”

Sambazon offers a diverse portfolio of delicious and sustainable fresh juices, smoothies, sorbets and frozen smoothie packs to energize the soul and help people everywhere attain Alegria – or “soulful contentment.”  All Sambazon products are vegan, gluten free, USDA certified organic, Ecocert Fair Trade and Non-GMO Project verified.  Sambazon is widely available in natural health food stores, grocers and juice bars throughout North America.

New Mycenaean Find from SW Bulgaria

An almost complete Mycenaean vessel, an alabastron used as a container for ointments, was found this summer in a Late Bronze Age (13th cent. BCE) settlement in Bresto, southwestern Bulgaria. Mycenaean pottery has rarely been found in Bulgaria.

The find sheds new light on the relations between the southern Bulgarian mountain regions and the urban centers in the Aegean at the time of the Mycenaean palaces.

The strongly fortified settlement of Bresto, on the territory of the modern village Banya, municipality of Razlog, is currently excavated by archaeologists from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and the New Bulgarian University Sofia. Thanks to the Balkan Heritage Field School and the support of the Balkan Heritage Foundation, students from the USA, Great Britain and Australia take part in the research.

The fortified settlement of Bresto is located on a hill slope, surrounded by a river bend of a tributary of the Mesta/Nestos river. The Mycenaean vessel was found in a small passage next to a huge building with an apsidal ending.

The research at Bresto aims to better understand the wealth and far-distance relations of this strongly fortified settlement located between the mountains of Rila, Pirin and Rhodopi. These long-distance connections of Bresto are also indicated by a boar tusk plate, which was probably prepared for the production of an Aegean-type helmet.

The massive stone fortification wall in Bresto has no parallels in western Bulgaria and northern Greece so far. The closest resemblance of the offsets of the wall from Bresto can be found in the sixth settlement of Troy.

In the near future, the Bresto project will undertake organic residue analysis in order to clarify the contents of the Mycenaean vessel.

Project Directors: Ass.-Prof. Bogdan Athanassov (NBU Sofia), Prof. Dr. Philipp W. Stockhammer (LMU München)

Funding and logistic support: New Bulgarian University, Heidelberg University, LMU Munich, Balkan Heritage Foundation, Institute for Field Research, Bulgarian Ministry of Culture, Municipality of Razlog and Banya, Valeks Group 2 in Razlog, St. Paisii Hilendarski School in Banya.
