Jennifer Lopez - Starting Over
Artist: Jennifer Lopez
Producer: Danja
Album: Love?
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 10 votes )
Don't be fooled by the upbeat sound of Jennifer Lopez's new Danja-produced single Starting Over - as the title suggests, the subject of the song centers around the dissolution of her marriage to fellow entertainer Marc Anthony. In a similar tone to Mariah Carey's Breakdown, Lopez delivers a heartfelt account of the range of emotions that undoubtedly accompany a failed relationship. Breaking up with someone you love is never an easy thing to do, and Starting Over is sure to strike a chord with anyone who thought they had The One, only to lose it all. Subject matter aside, its pulsing drums, rhythmic claps and driving synths are sure to make you want to move - I foresee this being the subject of many club DJ remixes and becoming a late official "Summer 2011" jam that will make you reminisce about good times, even if it IS about some pretty bad times for J Lo.

THE leader of a consortium of Oxfordshire businessmen who had hoped to buy Oxford United has said he is "disappointed" not to have been successful.
Charlie Methven was speaking after it was announced yesterday that businessman Darryl Eales will become chairman of the U's and now owns 30 per cent of the club.
Together with fellow Oxford United fan and Bridle Insurance owner Stewart Donald, Mr Methven had hoped to buy the club and submitted a formal bid earlier this week.
Speaking to the Oxford Mail yesterday he said: "Obviously from our point of view we are disappointed and we feel that we had a lot to offer but as Oxford United supporters we now want to do as well as possible.
"We are former bidders and current fans and now the hope must be that the club goes from strength to strength. Next season you will still find me in the Yellow Army bar."
Mr Methven had said he would be interested in moving Oxford United to a new stadium which the club would own, rather than leasing from former owner Firoz Kassam.
When asked what this would mean for the future of the stadium, he said: "I don't think that's right for me to comment on. I don't propose to offer a running commentary on everything they do.
"We should let them get their feet under the table and let them explain what they want to do."
The Oxford Mail contacted Mr Kassam yesterday but he did not return our call.

Supporters tell of their shock over day's events.
- 'I think we all knew someone was going to come in as new owners but it's just a bit of a shock that Gary Waddock has gone. He didn't do much when he was here but you could say he was limited with what he had when he came in. Like any club in football, only time will tell with how it goes with the new owner but as long as it's in the club's best interests that's all that matters to me.' Mark Quainton, 42, from Yarnton.
- 'It's fantastic news from a club point of view to move forward. It needed fresh people upstairs and new investors. I don't quite understand the change of manager because he hasn't had an opportunity to do anything with the existing team but we will have to trust in the board.' Ray Lindsey, 44, from Kidlington, owner of Haymans Fisheries in Oxford.
- 'Everything has seemed a bit rushed over the last few weeks. And even though I was not too keen on Gary Waddock in the first place, it was quite shocking to see he will be leaving.' Tom Thewlis, 22, from Enstone.
- 'I am not familiar with the new coach, Michael Appleton, but I suppose you have to feel that Gary Waddock has been very unlucky in his timing.' Former treasurer of disbanded fan group The 12th Man Trevor Lambert, 63, of Headington.

Mobile number portability eyed
The scheme aims to give subscribers more choices to select their network providers and create a fair competition climate between telecoms companies, thus requiring them to raise their service and customer care quality.
Mobile Number portability (MNP) enables mobile telephone users to retain their mobile telephone numbers when changing from one mobile network operator to another.
In addition, the new scheme will allow telecom authorities to measure the development of the mobile market, especially the development of e-commerce.
Deputy Minister of Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) Le Nam Thang said in a meeting with the Telecommunication Department that the country now had enough factors to apply the scheme on number portability with more than 1.5 subscriber per capita and six mobile providers and low calling charges.
If applied, all mobile phone numbers will be centrally managed by MIC's telecommunication department instead of partially managed by each network provider. As many as 70 countries worldwide apply the same scheme with a central numbers management method.
However, Thang said with this service, consumers would have more opportunities to better use telecoms services, but that the time to conduct the scheme was too soon. Therefore, the ministry would collect opinions and contributions to build the policy, expected to be applied in 2014.
Telecom insiders said that if the scheme was applied, small mobile network operators would enjoy benefit. To do this, small network operators like Vietnamobile, Beeline and S-fone have to offer their customers competitive calling charges to attract subscribers from big mobile networks such as Viettel, Mobifone and Vinaphone enjoying 90 per cent of local market share.
When asked about the scheme, Elizabeth Fong, CEO of Vietnamobile, told Viet Nam News that she was happy that the Ministry was looking at this scheme. She was personally involved when Macao introduced the same service. It had helped manage government resources in terms of numbers and given consumers a choice, she added.
Some said big mobile network operators did not really like applying this scheme because they might lose subscribers to big rivals, and not from small mobile network operators.
An official from MIC said that in some countries, when starting the scheme, a large number of subscribers from big mobile network operators changed networks to small mobile operators. After that, many subscribers decided to switch networks to big mobile network operators. He attributed this to better quality and customer service provided by the big operators. — VNS

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 10/24/14
Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Dion Waiters still has a loose fragment of cartilage in his knee and the team has not ruled out arthroscopic surgery this summer. Waiters recently missed 10 games due to the injury but he has since returned to play in the Cavs' two past contests. It appears as if he will suit up the rest of the way. Per Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon-Journal: "It feels good," Waiters said about his knee. "I'm jumping and dunking. If I can do that, then I'm ready to go." If the Cavaliers do elect to have Waiters go under the knife, he will still be ready for training camp next season. The only thing that he could miss would be Summer League. In 59 games through the 2012-13 season, the recent fourth-overall pick has averaged 14.6 points (41.0 percent), 2.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists per contest.

The glow of one warm thought is to me worth more than money.
~Thomas Jefferson
Show me the money!
~Tom Cruise
Two very different Toms. Which one are you with? Jefferson? Or, Cruise?
I suppose both have a point. While Jefferson may have been right on a spiritual level — heck, I love to bask in the warm, fuzzy, feel-good glow of social media as much as the next Twitterati — many businesses are now in the Cruise camp of: "Show me the money!"
There are, without question, myriad soft benefits of social media: elevated customer service, real-time market research, influencer engagement, crisis management, brand protection, brand equity and word-of-mouth marketing. But, many companies want to be able to see ROI (shocker, I know.) They want to know that social media is a sound investment of their time and money.
Here's how to do it in five simple steps:
Now, let's add up that Investment Return (IR), shall we? (Customer Value/10 (years) x Number of New Customers) + Impression Value (IV) + Customer Value Via Social (SMV) + Customer Service Value (CSV).
Social Media ROI = Investment Return (IR) – Social Media Spend (SMS) / Social Media Spend (SMS).
Et, voila!
Now, you can have the best of both Toms: basking in the glow of the warm thought…that social media can "show you the money!"
Eric Harr is the new Social Media Expert for CBS News and the Founder & President of Resonate Social, a boutique, integrated marketing agency in San Francisco. He is the author of "The REAL TRUTH About Social Media: 8 Timeless Truths Uncovered & 8 Monumental Myths Revealed" now available in Barnes & Noble nationwide and on the REAL TRUTH Website.

It goes live: April 1, 2012.
I think Lifetime Value for each customer is probably the hardest one for me to get a solid figure for.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for writing a good post. However I find it hard to understand the second point. How can I multiply it by 20? What guarantee do I have that a customer stays with me for 20 years? (I assume that's what you mean by multiplying by 20?)
Especially today in a million choice society, it's rather unlikely a customer stays with you for 20 years unless you're IKEA, Amazon or another huge "all-ages-type of company".
Cheers from Barcelona
First of all to congratulate you for the simplicity of the approach. I also understand that this is meant to trigger conversation, and that is good.
@ Step1: The calculations do not make sense. You meant to say"..and you invest five hours a WEEK at an hourly rate of $100.." :-)
@ Step 2: CLV is the holy grail! You are now throwing the ball on the brands' court to check how organised they are! Based on my experience, as the calculations for CLV involve a number of assumptions, it only makes sense to look at it comparatively among your target segments. But then how can one relate effectively brand's target segments to social media platform users?
@ Step 3: SMV I believe ignores the effect of other marketing channels and the existing brand equity that has established healthy relationships ready to be converted!
@ Investment Return calculation: I think that you should clarify that the time frame your the calculation is annual. Very helpful if one wants to calculate the Impression Value for example
On the central formula:
Social Media ROI = Investment Return (IR) – Social Media Spend (SMS) / Social Media Spend (SMS).
to be mathematically correct you should include both terms of the numerator in brackets.
Overall, I believe that the inherent problem of such a challenge is to be able to isolate the social media effect on new customer acquisitions (step 3). There are many reasons why somebody converts within a social media environment whilst somebody else converts within the context of another channel. All lead to a more complex cross channel exercise that will facilitate budget allocations too.
We need more articles like this showing that social media ROI is not just a fuzzy concept and can be calculated. I attempted to explain Social Media ROI in 140 Seconds at the March 2010 London Twitter Developers Nest. I'd like to think the presentation is still relevant and builds upon your article.
Sorry, but too much of this requires guess work and makes no mention of specific activities that a company may be undertaking or the opportunity cost of not doing other things. Overall this is trying to answer a question which is the wrong one to ask and way too broad. I don't think this is breaking new ground at all, people have been calculating the ROI of business activities since the dawn of business.

I enjoy talking with you and please take that as a compliment to both you and your parents.
you are a pretty smart girl, I wish that I could have met one like you.
you are correct about not arguing with Your instructor's too much. this is NOT selling out.
as a former instructor myself, I can tell you that some of them are there just to lord over their knowledge, not teach it to others.
as your studies are based on subjective subjects....
they can get away with it.

really nice design. only thing is that it is not leather so i am hoping that the man made material lasts.
This would not be the first Lugz boot that I have bought. I have owned several Lugz boots in the past that were similar to this one. The reason I bought this one is because I liked the design, and the belt strap. Even though I have not worn it yet, I know I will be happy when I do just like the previous boots from Lugz that I've owned.

Great Artisan Bakery in OC?
- adamclyde Jul 18, 2010 06:00 PM
I'm moving back to Huntington Beach after a decade in the Northeast (NYC & CT). Totally excited for so many things (food, farmers markets, weather, family, etc., etc.). However, one thing I'm still trying to scout (from afar, mind you) is a great artisan bread bakery in OC. Searching here on Chowhound hasn't yielded much that sounds promising. My brother mentioned a few that he said were only OK - c'est si bon in newport, french's in a few places, etc., but he (nor I) have found one that focuses first and foremost on breads.
Sounds like there are a lot of places that are big on the current cupcake craze, or are more pastry shops, but I haven't heard of one that really is serious about it's bread. But maybe (hopefully!) I'm missing one? Any ideas?
Since the demise of the Village Bakery in Costa Mesa, I don't think there is really anything in OC. Sad, but this line of conversation seems to come up all the time in OC foodie circles.
I would welcome contradiction, though.
I got some bread at the Saturday Irvine Farmer's market from Bread Gallery in San Clemente. The lady selling the bread was really nice, I got some type of baguette with some cornmeal/polenta grains in it. It wasn't amazing, but decent and local-ish.
Bread Gallery

I thought this was query of a new place called Great Artisan Bakery, heh--I do know what the words mean, but what is a great artisan bakery? Village Bakery was excellent as GeorgeMPavlov mentions below. By the way, George, what are OC foodie circles?
To me, being local is not worthwhile unless the place is great, because good food > environmental concerns. Bread Gallery is run by some nice Christians, but, and excuse me if this is blasphemous, their bread isn't going to bring up visions of Jesus's loaves.
Locally, I think you are better off checking out Pain Du Monde. I think their bread is pretty good too. They have good breads and crossiants--best off sandwiches that showcase the bread with really good ingredients like gouda cheese and crunchy carrot shavings.
Edit: Pain du monde means bread of the world in French. They kind of have to make good bread. Their bread is good though not unique like Village Bakery goods were. Which might be better--for example Village Bakery sold pizzas which I loved, but they had a specific flavor not suited to everyone. Also, if you are driving from Huntington Beach to Costa Mesa or Newport Beach, you might as well drive to LA and on La Brea go to Nancy Silverton's La Brea Bakery. Though now that I think of it, there is a branch at Downtown Disney, which is free to visit.
Tim and Lisa Goodell were the proprietors of Village Bakery. They open and close a lot of different restaurants. I don't know why. They had a place called Meson G in LA and a bunch of restaurants in OC--Troquet, Aubergine, the Lodge--that were all great. Anyway, since George mentioned it and you might be piqued by my recc-y of Village Bakery bread also, they still serve the same bread within their restaurants including a place in Huntington Beach. Supposedly that's why they opened Village Bakery--because the bread at their restaurants was so popular.

re: apple7blue
The Goodells now own A Restaurant and Market in Newport Beach. Since they closed Village Bakery in Costa Mesa, they moved their baking operation inside A Market, where they retail the bread. Same baker - Shelly Register - runs the bake shop.

re: Professor Salt
THANKS a bunch Prof . . . hopefully they still have the pizza there . . .
re: Professor Salt
Nope, A was sold to another ownership group, the most prominent member being Hollywood and MTV director McG. I missed the Goodells' time at the helm, but the current owners still do a nice job. I do miss Aubergine though. It was probably my first really great meal.
re: ocshooter
When did that happen? Is Chef Shelly still running the bake shop? It's been months since I stopped by A, but she was still there at that time.
re: Professor Salt
The Goodells never owned, only managed A. Shelly and Chef Vartagan are still at the helm.
re: OCBites
Well, so they may still have that lovely pizza
There's BrewBakers in Huntington Beach; not sure if it would qualify as an artisan bakery, but they focus on bread (and beer)
I love any type of bread when it is hot! A true test of bread quality is how it taste when it has cooled.
Here are a couple of places to try (most are asian)
- Boudin's Bakery - This is a SF chain with a couple of locations in Costa Mesa and one in Irvine. I like going to the Irvine location since they will tell you when the next hot batch will be ready. Good chewy sourdough. Also freezes well.
- 85 Degrees in Irvine. Asian bakery with lots of different sweet and savory buns and cakes to try. They also have a salted latte worth a try but drink from directly the cup (not with the straw they give you) to get a taste of the foam that has the salt with the liquid.
- Cream Pan in Tustin. Also Asian (Japanese) bakery. Good strawberry croissant.
- Lee's Sandwiches. A chain of Vietnam sandwich shop. Good place to get a $1 baguette. Also good when right out of the oven but must be eaten quick or else gets dry quickly.

Good bread in the French style is available at Cream Pan in Tustin and at Pascal Épicerie (http://pascalnpb.com/pascal_epicerie_...) in Newport Beach.

re: Das Ubergeek
Best baguette in the county to date. All the stuff is good. Wish they had a retail outlet. Love the farmer's market in Irvine, however, where the bakery sells on Saturdays between 8am and noon
re: rpmcestmoi
Also Newport Beach (Via Lido) on Sunday mornings, that's it. They're primarily a bakery to the trade, like OC Baking (available at the Orange farmers market on Saturdays, but nowhere else).
I love—LOVE LOVE LOVE—the baguette from Cream Pan and the bread from Streit's, which they sell at Mattern Sausage in Orange and, usually, at the Anaheim Hills Wholesome Choice, besides the storefront in Downey.
Also worthwhile: Grampy Pat's sourdough, which is available in a bunch of places in Orange, including the Saturday farmers market and at Gallery on Glassell. Friday through Sunday only.

re: Das Ubergeek
Thanks for the tip on Streit's at WC, I will look out for it.
If you happen to be in Irvine, Il Fornaio has a little deli shop attached that sells some of its breads, which are on the lighter end of crusty breads, but quite good, imo. Especially if you give them a little warming in the oven.
They also sell some of their bread at Fresh & Easy, which is all over the place.
re: scottca075
Not really. Not yet. I do like Picket Lane, and I'm at the Irvine farmers market every saturday, so that's good. I also tried Grampy Pat's. I like the regular sourdough boule there, but wasn't hugely drawn to the baguette though. I unfortunately have yet to try the baguette from Cream Pan, but need to because it's on my list. Just seeing this thread now though, I'll have to give Il Fornaio a try.
All that said, because I now work in San Fran (but still live in HB), I have almost daily access to Acme Bread and Tartine and other world-class bakeries so I haven't been as motivated to find a suitable replacement here in OC. Shame on me for that!

re: adamclyde
Try the new Pain Quotidien at Fashion Island. Amazing assortment of bread for the OC. Don't forget that Pain Poilane is imported to Bristol Farms if local isn't cutting it.
I also recommend Grampy Pat's bread, which you can find at the Orange Farmer's Market and at a few other restaurants retail locations in Orange. Patrick is a great baker.
The Laguna Niguel Farmer's Market has a terrific artisan bread vendor! Sundays from 9-1 and there is a Sprouts in the same center if you can't find what you need at the market. It's a good one!

High-end hotels made the transition to digital and to high definition (HD) TVs before most households, but many smaller, mid-range, and boutique hotels are just now promoting HD and other video services, according to market research firm DisplaySearch.
Large chains had the resources upgrade to flat panel TVs chain-wide, and generally bought the TVs right from the brands. Smaller hotels, however, usually need partners in the IT distribution channel to help manage the change location by location. As this happens, hospitality TV sales increase through commercial distributors and resellers, which can break bulk and provide logistics management and installation.
"There has been a dramatic increase in the number of hospitality TVs shipped through commercial distribution in the last two years," noted Chris Connery, vice president of Large Format Commercial Displays at DisplaySearch. "Guests of all types of hotels expect flat panel TVs and in-room-service upgrades, so hotels are now relying even more on efficient channel distribution to help with their roll-outs."
The firm said hotels prefer 32-inch LCD TVs for their guest rooms by a large margin, and 32-inch TVs made up 74% of hospitality TV shipments through the channel in the third quarter of 2011.
Most of the sets are "technically HD", offering 1366 × 768 pixels, but are not "full-HD" at 1920 × 1080 pixels. They support FHD and allow for the secure delivery of pay per view (PPV) and other on-demand content to guest rooms.
"Smaller and boutique hotels can also purchase off-the-shelf consumer TVs and simply connect them to cable or to antennae for free over-the-air broadcasts, without PPV, so sales of regular TVs for smaller hotels are growing as well," noted Connery. "However, larger chains prefer brands that offer dedicated TVs designed for secure delivery of video services."
The top three of the top 10 hospitality TV models sold through U.S. distribution channels were Panasonic models, and the research firm said Samsung, LG, and Philips increased their shares.

Modi aims at history and Gandhis with world's tallest statue
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Narendra Modi is building the world's tallest statue at a cost of almost $340 million in honour of one of the country's founding fathers, a project he is using to undermine his chief rivals, the Gandhi-Nehru political dynasty.
The statue of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's deputy and his interior minister but often at odds with him, is to be built on a river island in Gujarat, the home state of both Patel and Modi.
Modi, who rules Gujarat as chief minister and is the leading opposition candidate for prime minister in general elections due next year, is to inaugurate the construction of the statue on Thursday, the 138th birth anniversary of Patel.
"Every Indian regrets Sardar Patel did not become the first prime minister. Had he been the first prime minister, the country's fate and face would have been completely different," Modi said on Tuesday at a public function.
The statue, twice the size of the Statue of Liberty, is seen as a not-so-subtle bid by Modi and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to appropriate an independence-era hero associated with the ruling Congress party that has largely been run by the Nehru-Gandhi family.
Nehru, his daughter, Indira Gandhi, and grandson, Rajiv Gandhi, were prime ministers and the family has ruled for more than half of India's 66 years as an independent nation.
Rajiv's widow, Sonia Gandhi, is the current leader of the Congress and Rahul Gandhi, her son and Nehru's great-grandson, is leading the party's campaign to take on Modi at the general elections, due to be held before May.
Congress party Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who was with Modi at the public function, said: "I am proud and happy that I belong to a political party to which Sardar Patel was attached. Sardar Patel was totally secular, and believed in the unity of India."
For a graphic on world's tallest statues click link.reuters.com/cep34v
The 20.63 billion rupee cost of the 182-metre iron and bronze statue has been widely criticised as being unnecessary in a nation where one-third of the 1.2 billion people live in poverty. It is to be financed by the Gujarat government and public donations.
"We're turning the whole of India into a necropolis," said Mohan Guruswamy of the Delhi-based think tank the Centre for Policy Alternatives.
A Gujarat government official involved in the project said it would be partially funded by small contributions with the Gujarat government making up the difference. He denied it was a waste of funds, calling it 'icon-based' development that would attract tourism.
The sub-text to the controversy is what legacy Patel left when he died in 1950, and which of India's two main parties can lay claim to it.
Some historians have suggested Patel was more pro-Hindu than Nehru, who was fiercely secular and opposed to the 1947 partition of British-ruled India into the independent nations of Hindu majority India and Muslim Pakistan. Patel is said to have taken a more pragmatic view and is known as the builder of modern India for cajoling and coercing the country's princely states into joining the new republic.
Despite differences with Nehru, the two worked as a team, historians have said. "Each knew the other's gifts, each took care not to trespass on the other person's turf," according to historian Ramachandra Guha. "That is how, together, they built India anew out of the ruins of partition."
But many people in Gujarat feel Patel's legacy has been neglected by the Congress party and Modi has been quick to use that to his advantage.
His slogan on television advertisements ahead of Patel's birth anniversary has been: "Sardar unified the country, and we will glorify it."
Modi's strong association with Hindu religious politics is seen as divisive by critics. Many of them hold him responsible for religious riots that killed at least 1,000 people, mainly Muslims, in Gujarat in 2002, although he has denied the charges.
A Supreme Court appointed panel did not find evidence of wrongdoing by Modi in the riots.
Opinion polls say Modi is more popular than Rahul Gandhi and he is favoured by India's business titans for his pro-investment policies and fast economic growth in his state.
Several commentators have commented on the irony of Modi supporting Patel, who as home minister in 1948 helped ban the RSS, a Hindu organisation that Modi has close ties to, after one of its former members assassinated independence hero Mahatma Gandhi.
"Patel repudiated the RSS. But it's equally true that Congress repudiated Sardar Patel," said Guruswamy of the Centre for Policy Alternatives.

The U.S. military said Tuesday it has awarded contracts to three companies to design an experimental spaceplane conceived as a reusable, unmanned booster with costs, operation and reliability similar to modern aircraft.
The companies selected to develop the XS-1 spaceplane are Boeing, working with Blue Origin; Masten Space Systems, working with XCOR Aerospace; and Northrop Grumman, working with Virgin Galactic, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) said in a statement.
"We chose performers who could prudently integrate existing and up-and-coming technologies and operations, while making XS-1 as reliable, easy-to-use and cost-effective as possible," said Jess Sponable, DARPA's spaceplane program manager. "We're eager to see how their initial designs envision making spaceflight commonplace – - with all the potential military, civilian and commercial benefits that capability would provide."
The XS-1 program aims to develop a fully-reusable unmanned vehicle that would provide aircraft-like access to space and deploy small satellites to orbit faster and more affordably using expendable upper stages.
According to the DARPA, the XS-1′s first stage will fly to a suborbital altitude at hypersonic speeds and then return to earth, land and be prepared for the next flight. One or more expendable upper stages will separate and deploy a satellite into low-Earth orbit.
Key XS-1 technical goals include flying 10 times in 10 days, flying to Mach 10+ at least once and launching 3,000- to 5,000- pound (1,361 to 2,268 kilograms) payloads to orbit for less than 5 million U.S. dollars per flight.
In Phase 1 of XS-1, the selected companies will develop a demonstration vehicle, conduct critical risk reduction of core component technologies and processes, and develop a technology maturation plan for a flight test of XS-1 system capabilities. The agency will hold a Phase 2 competition next year for the follow-on production order to build the vehicle and conduct demonstration flights.
Boeing said in a separate statement that the company's preliminary XS-1 design contract is worth 4 million U.S. dollars and that it will focus its work on the XS-1′s reusable first stage.

Short, simple and very enjoyable
Very short, yet a very nice game. The graphics reminded me a bit of Mystic Quest (released under the name "Final Fantasy Adventure" in the US and "Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden" in Japan) for the GameBoy.
The controls are nice and simple, I couldn't find any bugs or glitches here.
The music is chosen nicely, but it gets pretty repetitive after a while. Well, you gave the option to mute the sound, so I could always turn the music off and listen to my own.
The added medals are a nice touch, but the game is worth to play it even without the medals.
{ Review Request Club }
Thank you for your review.
i like but i have repeat the walk part and walk too slow
Count Ending- Kill the Countess
Old Man Ending-Kill The Oldman
Knight ending-Kill Guard Using Spell And Talk To the countess
Seems alright
The background reminds me slightly of Pokemon but mostly the retro Zelda games for the Pocket Game Boy system. What was the name of the song playing on the overworld anyways? It sounded very retro but giving credit to where the music came from is always nice as well.
The playing was quite simplistic and very RPG like in play as well except when I tried to attack some of the people at the start of the game I needed a weapon or spell so I went and hunted for them like I would in most RPG's since you pretty are worthless and weak until you get some spells and equipment am I right?
The inability to run from battles is a pain though since in case you never noticed, most RPGs let you flee if the enemy is too strong but most of the enemies in the game were mediocre and why wasn't the axe considered a weapon? Was it just for cutting tree stumps only?
Overall, retro black and white pixelated graphics were real nice but the only thing I would add is a run ability to the battles. Aside from that the game was pretty fun anyways.
Review Request Club
The music, as stated in the menu screen, was made by Kevin Macleod. The song is called 'Klockworx'. May I remind you of the fact that this game is an adventure game, not an RPG, hence the fact that it requires more thinking skills and item trading rather than collecting equipment and spells. Thank you very much for your review.
Lots and lots of lost potential.
Hey kcnh,
My first instinct is that this was going to be an awesome RPG filled with fun and adventure. The graphics were clean and crisp, the controls responsive, the music quaint. The production on this title was pretty amazing, with very few flaws (no jumping animation for over cliff, double space bar when interacting makes the cursor disappear).
But a few minutes later, I was sorely disappointed. What could have been a fantastic game - winning, even - turned into a hard chore. Long story short - this game is verrrry slow-moving. I mean, I would appreciate some slack of pace in more current games, but this goes way beyond the limit of my tolerance. The fetching quest is cliche, not to mention boring. We want some action near the beginning of the game, go fight some trolls, kill the bad guys! Not.... get bread for your grandma. Whoop de doo, how fun.
The idea behind the game is fine, but there are too few details and the maps are far too empty of objects to be interesting. I also noticed that the graphical scheme was very similar to that of Pokemon. The cut skill for trees, the long grass, jumping over the cliffs. There needed to be at least a storyline to keep us interested. Because that's what made Final Fantasy the greatest RPG ever made. Not so much gameplay, but an epic storyline. That's what I'd like to see on NewGrounds.
Since when is an axe not a weapon? Alright, I walk all the way to the troll to find him because I found that axe... then it says you need a weapon? Duh! An axe is a weapon! And when your axe disintegrates when you chop the tree, you're gutted. Tip: you need things to have multiple uses to feel useful, like in Pokemon where you repeatedly "Cut" trees everywhere you go. It feels nice.
I swear a RUN button would make this game 4-5x better than it currently is. I was spamming buttons to see what the run button might be if there was one, and I pressed 'r', and it returned me to the menu! I mean isn't 'escape' for that? (I didn't read your comments until later. Remember, nobody really wants to read the manual.) Simply because it took about 5 minutes to get from place to place I would put this game in the category of 'Boring-but-had-tons-of-potential'. And I mean it. I just hope you heed these, because then I might be seeing you at #1. And then I'd cry.
Anyway thanks for letting me play. Have a good one.

Dear Residents,
Here is a quick Fall Update to report on recent actions by the board of trustees, new projects and ongoing initiatives, and some dates and reminders for village events coming up. Happy Halloween to everyone!
Waterfront Park and Train Station Projects
Work on the Waterfront Park has made significant process in the past month. The southern portion of the park at Willow Point is probably the most notable in terms of progress; you can now get a sense for how beautiful and impressive the park will look when completed; most of the pathways have been completed; the sail has been installed above the new permanent outdoor theatre stage; extensive new grading and landscaping and green grass is evident throughout the entire park; new topsoil has been laid on the Great Lawn at the northern end. The fishing pier is almost completely finished and work on the new boat dock extending from Willow Point will begin soon. The current timeline will keep the park closed for the remainder of the year with a re-opening dedication to be planned for next spring (2015).
Notice - Electrical Work at Train Station
- Published on 14 August 2014
As part of the upland improvements to the Waterfront we will be upgrading the electrical service. In order to complete this work a new underground electrical line will be installed. The path of the line will run from the over path of the bridge to the Village Train Station. This will cause a temporary closure of the most southern steps to the platform. Work should be starting next week.
Thank you for your cooperation.

DETROIT, Jan. 9, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Detroit has a new vision for its future. Today, a broad-coalition of Detroit stakeholders introduced Detroit Future City, a strategic framework for future decision making. The framework was developed to be the catalyst for Detroiters to work collectively to create a prosperous, connected, sustainable, and socially just city for everyone.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130109/DE40061LOGO )
The framework builds on Detroit's assets and is separated into six elements – Economic Growth, Land Use, Neighborhoods, Land and Building Assets, City Systems and Civic Engagement. It is a guide for moving the city forward in a comprehensive way including how to:
- best use land, create job growth and economic prosperity,
- ensure vibrant neighborhoods,
- build infrastructure that serves citizens at a reasonable costs, and
- maintain a high level of community engagement that is integral to success.
Grounded in the broadest, deepest, and most comprehensive look at Detroit that's ever been done, including 30,000 conversations with Detroit stakeholders. Detroit Future City is the result of the Detroit Works Project, a long-term planning initiative launched more than two years ago by Mayor Dave Bing.
"My administration launched the Detroit Works Project to inspire community groups, non-profits, businesses, and philanthropists to get involved in shaping the future of this City," said Mayor Bing. "Along the way, we've assembled a broad coalition of people to guide the Long Term Planning process, while my administration focused on improving Detroit in the Short-Term."
Recommendations range from the practical, such as establishing geographic employment districts in already viable sectors, to the visionary, such as developing carbon forests and water retention ponds to achieve multiple benefits like decreasing the burden of city systems to better public health to beatification. Each considers how better land use can help achieve goals that improve the quality of life for all Detroiters.
"This is the most comprehensive framework ever established for an American city," said Toni Griffin, Director of the Technical Planning Team. "It blends community expertise and planning on the ground with some of the best planners from Detroit and around the world to establish a path forward and improve people's quality of life."
Moving forward, some portions of the framework can begin immediately, while others will evolve over time. The framework calls for key progress implementation horizons at 5 years (stabilize), 5 – 10 years (improve), 10 – 20 years (sustain), and 20 – 50 years (transform) that not only begin improving the quality of life now, but eventually transform Detroit into an urban leader.
Moving forward, the Detroit Economic Growth Corporation and the Steering Committee are in the early stages of establishing a consortium to help facilitate, manage and inform the implementation of Detroit Future City.
George W. Jackson Jr., Detroit Works Project Long Term Planning Steering Committee Chair said, "The consortium will drive the change, serving as the coordinating body that will connect the framework to resources, and will support, integrate, advance, and monitor efforts to enact the framework's recommendations and strategies."
He went on to say that a "project management office" will be created "to support the consortium, form community partnerships, and help establish and execute the framework's implementation agenda" and that initial funding was already in place.
As part of today's announcement, the W.K. Kellogg and Kresge Foundations have committed a combined $3-million to support a substantial portion of the project management office operating costs for the first two years.
In addition, The Kresge Foundation has committed to aligning all of its grant-making in Detroit with Detroit Future City, representing at least $150 million of investment over the next five years.
"The full potential of this framework will only be realized with the collective efforts and resources of everyone – public, private, philanthropic, nonprofit – all pulling together," said Rip Rapson, president & CEO of The Kresge Foundation. "We are excited today to announce our own commitment to help the momentum we need to be success, and we encourage all to become partners in creating Detroit Future City."
Pablo Farias, vice president at the Ford Foundation said, "Detroit Future City is another example of the incredible momentum, energy and innovation emerging from Detroit. Today marks an exciting step forward for the city and we are very optimistic about what we can continue to accomplish by working together. We believe that engaging community voices is essential to the success of any effort like this one, and are pleased to support neighborhood outreach to ensure that the ideas and concerns of residents are shaping and strengthening this work."
Ali Webb, State Director For Michigan Programming from The W.K. Kellogg Foundation added, "We support the Detroit Future City framework, not only because it aligns with our goal of making a difference in the lives of Detroit's vulnerable children and their families, but also because it is informed by the community's voice, opening innovative pathways to action."
Access the Strategic Framework
The Strategic Framework is an extensive body of work.
"It's going to take time for people to familiarize themselves with it," said Heaster Wheeler, a Steering Committee member with the project. "In addition to meetings being scheduled with Detroit stakeholders groups such as business and faith-based, we have developed several ways for everyone to access it so they can become more familiar with its contents."
Some of the ways include
- Visit www.DetroitLongTerm.com to download the strategic framework;
- Stop by your neighborhood Detroit Public Library to review a copy;
- Call the Detroit Future City hotline toll free at 800-234-7184;
- Invite a Detroit Future City representative to your meeting;
- Take part in one of the Open Houses scheduled for January 15, 22, and 29 from 2 to 7 p.m. at Detroit Future City Homebase located at 2929 Russell Street, or
- Drop by the Homebase between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday to view a new Detroit Future City exhibition.
