I had to do a bit of prep work before settling in to play
Final Fantasy Origins
. I found my SNES and Turbografx 16, started playing games like
Chrono Trigger, Donkey Kong Country
, and
Bonk's Revenge
. You see, Final Fantasy Origins is not for the new school kids who loved
Final Fantasy 7
and everything else that came with the 32-Bit era. This collection takes you back to a simpler time, when you didn't need a party of ten or more characters, when the story was simple, and the music was a synth masterpiece.
Final Fantasy Origins is a reworking of Squaresoft's
Final Fantasy 1
and the previously unreleased Final Fantasy 2. Both games feature updated graphics, some FMV, new soundtracks, the ability to run, and re-written dialogue, but is it enough to keep them afloat in the time of games like
, or
Breath of Fire
? In three words, yes and no. Despite being quite simple and easy, the old school graphics and sound are something that will turn off a lot of gamers and that is quite unfortunate because these two games have truly been able to withstand the test of time.
Final Fantasy 1 follows the story of the four nameless heroes of the crystal, who are out to do a fine smiting to the forces of evil. You start with the basic party of four people, and are given choices as to which class you want them to be. Your choices include the bruiser Warrior, the lucky Thief, the ass-kicking Monk, the invaluable Whte Mage, the powerful Black Mage, and the jack of all trade magician, Red Mage. You're able to choose four members in any combination. Want a party of white mages? Go for it. Of course withouth the proper balance of the party you'll find yourself stuck in many predicaments which could end with your controller through the TV screen.
The graphics have recieved a very nice 16-bit level upgrade with all the characters getting new animations both in and out of battle. The monsters have received a piece of the graphical action and now look really good, however in order to keep things running smoothly still remain motionless and simply flash before attacking. Magic has also recieved some more special effects, no more three frames of animation for a Bolt spell.
The music is quite a step up from the synth days of the '80s. The music is not Nobuo Uematsu work but it is still quite impressive and fitting.
Buying magic? What kind of nonsense is this? Yep, in Final Fantasy 1 magic is purchased and fitted into one of three slots made for each magic level. Magic goes from level 1 to 8 and buying spells at times can be costly. And then there is the whole gaining levels in order to use the magic, so you can't simply use it out of the box. The system is good, but it is something I don't miss in the current Final Fantasy games.
If you remember playing this game in the past then you can't possibly forget having up to nine enemies on screen at once. This doesn't happen often but when it does you can expect the experience and money to be through the roof. This also cranks up the difficulty of the game considerably, especially when the enemies get pre-emptive attacks, and they will happen often. Simply put, this game is hard at times if you don't know what you are doing. Fighting the bosses is easy, getting to them and leaving the dungeon after beating them is the hard part. Unless you've stocked up heavily on potions and made good use of your memo file, expect to get easily frustrated.
The story is wonderfully simplistic, four nameless warriors are out to save the world as evil gathers across the land. Each of these warriors of light bears a crystal that proves they are the chosen one. You are quickly sent on your quest as the King of Corneria asks you to find his daughter. Once the prologue is complete the game truly gets underway. But unfortunately the game and story lack direction which will leave you wondering where to go more often than not.

Better Beginnings program and research featured on Today Tonight (Channel 7)
Friday, 31 August 2012
Members of the Centre for Research in Early Childhood (CREC) have been evaluating the Better Beginnings 0-3 years program since its pilot in 2005. We have interviewed parents, librarians and community child health nurses and have found an overwhelmingly positive response to the program. Our 2007 – 2010 evaluation shows that Better Beginnings is having a positive impact on early literacy practices with parents establishing a range of effective book sharing practices and children developing early literacy behaviors. Our research suggests that Better Beginnings has reinforced and extended parents' knowledge and beliefs and provided new understandings and practices that have been sustained over time.
Some of our findings are reported in the Today Tonight program, which can be found on the WA State Library Better Beginnings website along with the 'Introduction to Better Beginnings' video.
You can find more information about our evaluation of all the Better Beginnings programs on our Projects web page.

- FTFT5Man City
- FTFT6Wigan
FULL TIME A very worrying performance from Chelsea and it ends 1-1. Everton put in a fantastic second-half performance and deserve their point.
Fellaini fouls Ramires and Chelsea might just have survived...
Chelsea are clinging on and they look very nervous indeed!
Jermaine Beckford does wonderfully, before ballooning a shot well over the bar!
Fellaini shrugs off Kalou before firing a low drive across the penalty area and just wide of the far post!
The free kick is cleared but Everton are pressing for a winner!
Another Everton free kick, Ivanovic fouling Cahill on half way.
Phil Jagielka carded for a tackle from behind on Daniel Sturridge.
Leighton Baines' cross is over hit and Cech collects confidently.
Foul by Ramires on Coleman and it's a dangerous free kick for Everton...
Chelsea look short of ideas and haven't created any chances in the second half.
Salomon Kalou tries to put the ball in the box but Howard gathers.
Marouane Fellaini with an attempt from 25 yards, it's poor and sails over.
Chelsea look a team in trouble, their confidence is shot and they could lose this yet...
Diniyar Bilyaletdinov
Daniel Sturridge on for John Obi Mikel
GOAL Jermaine Beckford equalises for Everton! A fantastic run from Leighton Baines, beating two men before whipping a fantastic cross into the far post. Tim Cahill cushions a header into the path of Beckford, who nods home from six yards!
Everton eventually clear, Fellaini stopping Ramires' charge into the box.
Pienaar seems to have recovered and has rejoined the action.
Salomon Kalou is in acres of space, offside but not flagged. He's played through but his first touch is poor and Chelsea have to settle for a corner...
Steven Pienaar is now down and looks in pain.
Chelsea almost seal the three points. Ferreira drilling a low cross straight across the six-yard box. It falls to Florent Malouda at the far post, who fires a low effort at Howard's near post which is well saved.
Seamus Coleman has entered the referee's book, it's not immediately apparent why.
The first delivery is cleared, but Pienaar whips in a second ball, Beckford with the flick on and Cech makes the save. Chelsea look nervy.
At the other end it's an Everton corner...
Ferreira looks to release Kalou, his pass is overhit and it's a goal kick.
Ramires on for Nicolas Anelka
Now he's on his feet and thankfully he's ok to carry on.
John Terry and Tim Cahill are exchanging heated debate, Cech still isn't on his feet.
No action taken against Cahill, he's fortunate to get away with that.
Cech looks to be bleeding but thankfully he seems ok.
Petr Cech is down and looks in a lot of pain. Tim Cahill chases a through and Cech gathers well. Cahill catches the keeper in the face with his right boot and that one looks nasty.
Everton are starting to run out of ideas, when they get into the right areas the final ball is poor.
Distin does well, holding off the chasing Anelka to clear Drogba's flick on.
Steven Pienaar again guilty of losing the ball. His pass for Baines easily intercepted.
The atmosphere is a bit flat inside Stamford Bridge, are the fans getting anxious?
Neat play from Anelka and Drogba, the latter sliding a pass for Florent Malouda. His first touch is a little heavy and Sylvain Distin clear.
Chelsea enjoy some rare possession in the Everton half. They are edging closer to an important three points.
Didier Drogba is clutching his thigh again and I'm not sure he'll be able to continue.
Paulo Ferreira on for Jose Bosingwa
Phil Jagielka flicks a header on at the near post to see it drift narrowly wide of the far post!
Nicolas Anelka gives the ball away and Everton force another corner...
Much better from Everton and Chelsea look a little bit nervous.
Everton have hit the post and they couldn't have come any closer! A cross from the left found Jack Rodwell, who guides a wonderful header towards the goal. Cech is beaten, but it hits the inside of the post and rolls across the goal line!
Everton are really struggling to create anything here and Chelsea look comfortable.
Jermaine Beckford with an ambitious effort. Mikel giving away possession near the half-way line and the former Leeds striker shot from fully 40 yards. Needless to say it was nowhere near Petr Cech's goal.
Can Beckford kickstart his Everton career with a big goal for them this afternoon?
Jermaine Beckford on for Louis Saha
Chelsea have barely been in the Everton half since the break, can the Toffees make this advantage count?
Jermaine Beckford looks ready to come on. Bad news for Saha?
Everton are much-improved in the second half, but Chelsea will be looking to pick them off on the break.
Steven Pienaar with another disappointing cross. Everton's play is neat right up until the finish.
Everton are enjoying their best spell of possession in the match. Seamus Coleman's cross is headed clear by Terry.
Another chance for Everton, Pienaar's cross cleared. It falls to Rodwell on the edge of the box, who drags a left-foot shot disappointingly wide.
The free kick is headed clear. From the rebound the ball arrives with Fellaini in the penalty area, but the Belgian can't bring it under control.
Louis Saha is down and looks in pain, this doesn't look good for the injury-plagued striker.
Free kick to Everton, Ivanovic bundling over Saha and the visitors can put the ball into the box.
Tim Cahill offside as Jagielka hoofs the ball forward, a scrappy start to the second half.
Salomon Kalou has been penalised, needlessly hand-balling as he jumped with Seamus Coleman.
Free kick to Chelsea, Cahill fouling Ivanovic near the half-way line.
SECOND HALF Chelsea kick off.
The teams are out for the second half, can Everton find a way back into the match?
As we have 15 minutes spare during half time, why not relive events overnight in Adelaide where England have been piling on the runs in the second Ashes Test. ESPNcricinfo has all the latest info.
Everton will be counting the cost of Neville's error at the break. They now have an uphill task in the second half.
HALF TIME Chelsea lead at the break through Drogba's penalty. Phil Neville's poor pass leading to Everton going behind.
What a difference that makes for Chelsea. They have struggled for goals recently and that penalty was an absolute gift.
Everton concede at the worst point, right on the stroke of half time. What can David Moyes do at half time?
Tim Howard is booked for his part in conceding the penalty.
GOAL Didier Drogba slams the penalty down the middle of the goal!!!
PENALTY TO CHELSEA!!! Phil Neville with a horrible backpass. It releases Anelka, who knocks the ball around Tim Howard before going down. Penalty given, it looked harsh as Anelka seemed to run into Howard. A terrible mistake by Neville.
Nicolas Anelka collects a Malouda pass excellently, once again he is frustrated to see the linesman's flag is raised.
Salomon Kalou rises, unmarked, to meet the corner. His header is poor and drifts wide of the post. A waste for Chelsea.
Corner to Chelsea as Distin halts Anelka's charge into the box.
Seamus Coleman again finding himself in space, collecting Fellaini's cross in acres at the back post. His drilled cross arrives with Tim Cahill, but the Australian can't bring the ball under control.
Relief for Ancelotti as Drogba is on his feet, walking gingerly but he should be ok to continue.
Didier Drogba is down and this looks bad. As he looked to turn his slipped and seem to over stretch his thigh.
A horrible shot from Jack Rodwell, 25 yards out and slicing his effort high and wide.
Neat combination between Anelka and Drogba, Anelka runs down a cul-de-sac and fails to find Kalou with the pass.
Neither team has been able to produce a final pass, some great build-up play but no end product.
Seamus Coleman wastes an opening for Everton, bringing the ball forward and hesitating as he looks to release Saha and allowing Terry to intercept.
Jose Boswinga goes on a mazy run, drifting further and further in field before blazing a left-foot shot miles over the bar.
It comes to nothing, Phil Neville involved again as he fouls Drogba.
Everton with a rare spell in the Chelsea half, throw in 30 yards from goal.
Chelsea hit the crossbar! The corner falls to Terry at the back post. His first shot is blocked, his second is sublime, lifting an effort over Howard only to see it rattle the woodwork!!!
Chelsea corner, the ball falls to Mikel who sees his drive deflected wide.
Trouble between Phil Neville and Florent Malouda. Neville goes through the back of the winger, having several go's at Malouda before the Frenchman turns and seems to touch Neville's face. Common sense prevails, the players shake hands and it's a Chelsea free kick.
Louis Saha almost creates an opening. Phil Neville plays an excellent pass over the top, the Frenchman attempts to gather but his touch isn't quite good enough.
Bosingwa's cross arrives with an unmarked Drogba, who attempts a vollley from the edge of the box which he makes a complete mess of. Goal kick to Everton.
Everton seem to have weathered Chelsea's storm to a certain extent. The game has slowed down slightly after a frantic opening.
Nicolas Anelka has a pop at goal, cutting in from the left before dragging his shot wide of the near post.
Phil Neville in acres of space as he breaks forward, Tim Cahill calls for the ball but the pass is poor.
Anelka is racing clear for Chelsea, unfortunately for Ancelotti's men the flag is up.
Tim Cahill heads clear, Kalou then fouls Coleman as the ball drops.
Chelsea corner, Fellaini tackling Essien.
Ivanovic heads clear and Everton are starting to struggle after their lively start.
Everton have a throw in deep in Chelsea territory, they'll be happy to have relieved the pressure on their goal.
The corner is cleared but Chelsea come again. Kalou looks to race away and Howard has react quickly to clear the danger.
First opening for Chelsea, Anelka is released down the side of Jagielka and his shot is deflected wide for a corner.
Momentary panic in the Everton defence, a low cross hitting Distin and Kalou before ending up in the arms of a grateful Tim Howard.
Seamus Coleman plays a cracking ball look for Steven Pienaar, who stretches to collect but Ivanovic deals with it well.
Chelsea are starting to settle down and enjoy the lion's share of possession.
A great burst forward by Jose Bosingwa, he whips in a wonderful cross and Distin hoofs clear!
Steven Pienaar looks to release Louis Saha with a lofted pass, Branislav Ivanovic reacts well to head clear.
Marouane Fellaini is a lucky boy. He is caught in possession by Michael Essien, whose pass for Anelka is poor and the chance has gone.
Malouda skips beyond the challenge of Cahill before running at the defence. His driven cross is disappointing and Tim Howard can collect.
Ashley Cole plays a wonderful low ball down the wing for Anelka, who is tackled by Phil Jagielka.
Chelsea seem to have settled, keeping possession before Mikel's through ball is intercepted.
Everton are flying forward early on. Petr Cech gathers a free kick sent into the box before Leighton Baines lashes an effort over the bar.
Great start from Everton, Louis Saha running straight at the heart of the Chelsea defence, firing a low drive towards Cech who palms it away.
KICK OFF Everton get us started.
The teams are out at Stamford Bridge, almost time to get started.

Brooklyn >Food & Dining > The Clover Club

More Than Just a Great Cocktail! Brunch Too! – I met my best friend for brunch at Clover Club, a total 1920s throw back club that serves up an amazing brunch. I was there for my bf's bday party a few years ago. A fun Brooklyn getaway with amazing drinks, so I decided to try the bloody mary after having a fun night out. Was not disappointed, so peppery and spicy. I also had the baked eggs with leeks and parmesan. The presentation was unreal. They served the meal on a slate rectangular board. On top was a small oval ramekin filled with baked eggs neighbored by two pieces of grilled sourdough and a small heavily seasoned green salad. It was delicious. My bf got the huevos rancheros, which was beautifully presented as well with a tortilla on the bottom with layers of flavor including black bean, a thin omelette, and spicy green salsa on top. Unbelievable! Great place to drink and now to brunch!
Elegant – I love this place! One of the things I don't like about Brooklyn is the casual, dressed-down, hate-on-anything-nice attitude. One of the things I love about Brooklyn is that places like Clover Club exist and THRIVES despite those bad attitudes.
The cocktails are interesting and delicious. The small plates are really tasty (I highly recommend the deviled eggs).
I love taking out of town guests here to show them some class. I will return to Clover Club over and over again.
Not The Whole Story – Re: Justthoughtyoushouldknow's comment: I happened to be there that night, and the account is biased, and lacking a few details.
The conversation with the mgr did start out calmly, but when the 3 realized that they would not be served, man 2 started yelling into the mgr's face. Yes, the mgr is a short, small framed woman, and these two men were getting upset and loud with her.
At this point, the taller of the two men started to push/throw chairs around, yell, act violently, hurl slurs and encourage a fight. Of course this prompted the shorter man to act in kind. This is when the male staff member (who kept his distance from both men), the bartender, and two other guests who were sitting at the bar, ALL went to stand with the mgr in support.
FINALLY after much yelling from the 2 men and the wife, they left the bar. Then the wife proceeded to kick the front door until she cracked the glass (one of the patrons took a photo of her with his phone), all the while screaming "I work at the Embassy!!" (not sure which one?), and on and on...
These ppl may not have been drunk (although after staying a "long time" and spending "over $400" one wonders...), but they certainly seemed to be on some other type of stimulants.
This incident should not have degenerated the way it did. If an establishment refuses to serve a patron, it is their prerogative, and at times, their legal obligation. Don't get upset about it, just pay your tab and leave!
Incredibly rude staff! – I was in this the Clover Club and spent over $400 dollars in drinks and food with my wife and friends after work. We stayed in this establishment for a long time. We were eating and drinking and having a great time with each other. When we were ready to go, a suggestion for one final round was suggested by my wife(guess she didnt want the night to end). My wife proceeded to ask for another round. Only the waitress she ordered from was not our waitress. This waitress proceeded to call us LOUD DRUNKS, and refused to serve us. Dont get me wrong, I have been apart of the LOUD DRUNKEN BAR CREW a few times in my life...this was not one of those times. I CALMLY asked to speak with the manager. A short girl with a british accent came upstairs to the main floor from the office in the basement. We walked towards each other, I said hello, and she did the same. At this point I made sure to be nothing short of a gentleman. I softley asked her why we were being denied another round after we spent somuch money in there establishment, and I also asked why were disrespectfully called loud drunks. She started stuttering, and could not give me a reasonable answer due to the fact that it was very obvious that we were not outrageously drunk. Mind you, we were having a very calm and curteous conversation(IM sure she would agree.) All of a sudden, the tall, shaved head, caucasian male bar tender, jumped from behind the bar and attempted to escalate the the situation by standing beside me and yelling to the side of my face. I never broke eye contact with the manager because I wanted her to see how we were being treated wrong. The bartender then proceeded to challenge my friend and me to a fight. We are decent, intelligent men, so his pointless offer was declined. Nonetheless, this whole situation was uncalled for, and we were treated very poorly in this establishment. If we were in the wrong, I would never write this, but we werent, and this place's wait staff is very arrogant, young, uninformed, and VEY VERY RUDE!! Take your money to another place, and have a good time. This place doesnt represent Brooklyn at all.
Best Brunch – My husband and I stumbled on this place when looking for a brunch spot to celebrate our first year wedding anniversary. Of course we were looking for something special and we definitely found it here. The space is modern and cozy. In the back is a nice lounge area with a fireplace and comfy chairs, there is also a separate bar there. The front eating area is just as comfy. The bar menu offers a nice history of the drinks. Our bloody mary was delicious (I only wish they served more olives in it). We were pleasantly surprised by the food, it was outstanding! We had the baked eggs with truffle and leeks and each bite kept getting better. It was well worth the $10. The staff is also friendly and attentive. Water glasses are constantly filled without being asked. We've been here twice already and have even brought friends who loved it too. We'll definitely be going back.
pretentious? did you look that up first? – i think the most annoyingly overused word of late is "pretentious". it seems that anything that people find to be expensive is now termed pretentious.
now, the clover club is definitely not cheap. if you want cheap, there is no shortage of dive bars in the area. but this place is most certainly NOT pretentious. their extensive drink menu offers descriptions as well as histories of the spirits used. the staff is friendly and patient (ive been here in a party of 2 and a party of 7), and happy to make a drink recommendation based on your taste. typically a specialty drink bar such as this caters only to connoisseurs, but even beginners can feel comfortable here. far from pretentious.
ignore the haters. this place is well worth your money.
p.s.- almost forgot to mention the food. we had steak on toast, chicken wings, mac & chz, crostini, and oysters. every single one was brilliant. i couldn't even pick a favorite.
Worst bar on Smith Street – I will never go back to this place. The staff is rude and unaccommodating, the drinks are over priced and the staff is rude and unaccommodating. This is a horrible place to bring a group and is the opposite of the vibe that is Brooklyn. Very pretentious for no apparent reason.
Top-rate Cocktails and Cool Atmosphere – Went here recently with a few friends. The decor was great. It had a cozy space in the back and the cocktail selection was amazing. Food was better that standard bar fare. The staff was very knowledgeable, but service was slow/poor.
Thanks for making Clover Club happen! – I heard so much about Clover Club that I decided to go and check it out myself. After going to all the mixology bars, you pretty much won't find me drinking anywhere else.
This place has great drinks, friendly, unpretentious staff and very knowledgeable!
After the recommendation of our lovely waitress, we decided to have one of their punches, and what a recommendation! Definitely a must!!!
And if you get hungry, they have a list of "savory bites" to choose from......tasty!
I will certainly be back!
Can't wait to check out their brunch menu!
this place is awful – rude, snotty, and completely obnoxious. i guess the drinks are decent. but i've had better. and you need to drink quite a few in order to stomach the elderflower-shoved-up-their-butt staff.

(d) The FDIC retains the authority to establish other policies restricting asset sales.

The ancient Egyptians domesticated cats some 4,000 years ago, but a modern taste for all things exotic is working to undo that with the introduction of half-wild cats. Breeders bored with mixing plain old domestic mousers for new designer blends (hello, poodle cats) have taken to mating house cats with medium-size wild cats to create new animals that will prowl your shag carpet as if it were the grasslands of Africa.
According to The International Cat Association (TICA), the first effort to breed a wild cat with a domestic feline was in 1963 when Jean S. Mill "invented" the Bengal by crossing a house cat with the Asian leopard cat to create an animal with, "the loving nature of a favored fireside tabby and the striking look associated with leopards, ocelots and jaguars."
Also see: Photos of 11 amazing hybrid animals
A 4-month-old F1 Savannah catSince then, a whole menagerie of "living room leopards" has been spawned, including the Bristol (domestic cat/margay), the Chausie (domestic cat/jungle cat), the Cheetoh (Bengal/ocicat), the Jungle-bob (Pixie-bob/jungle cat) and the Pantherette (Pixie-bob/Asian leopard cat).
And perhaps the most popular of all, the Savannah - half domestic cat, half African Serval.
The first known Savannah was born April 7, 1986, when a female domestic cat gave birth to a kitten sired by a Serval, an African wildcat that weighs up to 50 pounds and eats everything from birds and hares to deer and gazelles. TICA accepted the Savannah breed for registration in 2001, and the Savannah was accepted for Championship status by TICA in 2012.
Joyce Sroufe is generally recognized as the founder of the Savannah breed, and her cat-making business, A1 Savannah Cattery, is not only the world's first Savannah cattery, but also the one responsible for breeding the largest domesticated house cat documented in the Guinness Book of World Records.
The Savannahs are classified by percentage of Serval; "F1 Savannahs" are at least 53 percent Serval, and a female can cost up to $35,000. On the lower end of the scale are "SBT Savannah" kittens, which are "pure" Savannahs that have only Savannahs as parents for at least three generations; these kittens cost up to $9,000 a pop. A1 recommends the SBT type for a family with other pets and children because, "their personality and size are better forseeable [sic] and the temperament is predictable." Which is important, presumably, when one is bringing wild animals into a home with children.
Even with such exorbitant price tags, the half-wild kitties continue to increase in popularity. However, a recent article in The New Yorker notes that the proliferation of domestic/wild cats is controversial beyond the cost. PETA denounces the practice, the article says, and inbreeding causes complications. In New York, among other places, it's not even legal to own a Savannah, unless it's at least five generations removed from a wild cat.
Yet catteries continue to pump out the newfangled felines and ship them around the world. As one breeder, Judy Sugden, says of her product, "I am an artist! … And I have designed and built a cat."
Big Cat Rescue, the largest accredited sanctuary in the world dedicated to abused and abandoned big cats, says on its site about hybrids, "We have had a bunch of them that were former pets. We have had to turn away many, many more because most of them cannot run free outside and have to have the same cages as bobcats and cougars." It goes on to note that they all spray urine incessantly, they bite, and they "want to eat your other pets and they don't care if it's a German shepherd - they are going to be constantly looking for a way to take the dog down."
Not an organization to mince words, they add, "Allowing the private possession of wild cat/domestic cat hybrids is like strapping a nuclear warhead to the feral cat problem."
