Today, Barclays and BlueBay Asset Management s Direct Lending Fund ( Fund ) announce that they are collaborating to offer joint bespoke lending solutions to medium-sized enterprises in the UK in specific deal situations. They are offering single unitranche loans to finance UK financial sponsor-backed mid-market companies. This initiative will provide unitranche loans of up to £120m, alongside which Barclays can provide other banking services and will be complementary to Barclays and the Fund s existing lending activities.
This collaboration is a significant development in the UK loan market and involves combining capital from Barclays and the Fund to achieve a single term loan, at a single rate of interest, with common terms and effectively one lender or counterparty.
The benefits of this solution are multi-fold: Barclays and the Fund will offer prospective borrowers a loan that can be deployed more quickly than a traditional deal involving several banks, the loan can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of a business, including committed acquisition or capex facilities to facilitate growth plans, together with the day-to-day banking services of a UK clearer.
Karl Nolson, Managing Director and Head of Debt Finance at Barclays, said: We have taken a leading role alongside direct lenders for the past 18 months by providing complementary types of finance. Now however, by joining forces with BlueBay s Direct Lending Fund, we are bringing about a step-change in the UK mid-market lending space, providing real cost and speed benefits to borrowers. Lending to this segment of UK plc is at the core of what we do, and with unitranche financing we will be able to provide additional support towards economic growth.
Anthony Fobel, Partner and Head of Private Lending Strategies at BlueBay Asset Management commented: The BlueBay Direct Lending Fund has successfully provided much needed growth capital to UK-based mid-market businesses and has also worked closely with private equity firms to offer flexible acquisition facilities and solutions for their portfolio companies. By joining forces with Barclays, the Fund can now additionally offer financial sponsors and UK businesses a customised solution that combines the flexibility, speed and execution certainty of a private debt fund, with the well-established banking services of a leading UK clearer.

Congratulations to our recipe contest winners!
Thanks so much to all of you who entered our recipe contest in November! The trio of winners, randomly selected, each received a PCC gift card for adding to our Recipe Database. Here's a little about two of our winners, Sheila and Mary.
"It's fun to start with a pile of ingredients and put them all together into something that tastes good. It's almost like solving a puzzle," Sheila, left, says about her love of cooking. Time in the kitchen is her favorite way to unwind.
"My fantasy is having an entire weekend to plan a menu, shop, prepare ingredients and cook a great meal for a group of friends and family members. I have always loved food, and I think it is so rewarding to impress family and friends with good meals." Sheila, we totally agree!
Sheila advises new cooks to pay attention to tastes they like and to ask cooks and servers about specific ingredients. "You can build a whole meal around a specific ingredient -- just do a Web search for a few things you might have on hand, like "curry chicken potatoes") -- or look at PCC's online recipes, and you're bound to find something great to cook."
Her favorite section at PCC is produce. Try her recipe for Sauteed Kale.
"I love PCC's fresh vegetables. I try to use only seasonal ingredients in my meals, and PCC has a good selection of squash and greens in the fall, and berries and cherries in the summer. Clean, organic, locally grown produce is important to me, and I never have to worry about PCC meeting all my requirements."
Mary, left, whose favorite PCC department is our bulk section, submitted a recipe for Potato Corn Chowder. She learned to cook from her mom, who always included the family in her kitchen projects, from baking homemade bread to canning beans. "She was and is a great cook and always made working in the kitchen fun," Mary says.
Mary enjoys cooking as a way to relax and unwind at the day, loves to read cookbooks and uses recipes more as inspiration than a guide. She loves to cook for others and to see the pleasure a good homemade meal can create.
Her biggest piece of advice for new cooks? Relax.
"I see too many people that come at a cookbook with a white-knuckled approach and are so afraid of making a mistake and not having it turn out that they do not enjoy the experience, smells and sheer fun of cooking. Some of my "mistakes" have turned out to be my best results!" says Mary.
Again, thank you to all of you out there who shared a recipe, and hope to see more of your delicious meals in the database in the coming months!
Chime in! (our commenting policy)
Please use proper table manners when sharing food for thought on this or any other PCC Natural Markets forum. If a food fight starts, email email@example.com to blow the whistle.

Fukushima Cover-up
The Fukushima nuclear plant disaster released 20 times more radioactivity than the Hiroshima atom bomb did. Given the extraordinary length of time released poisons remain deadly, these poisons will be a problem forever.
It's not over. Releases will continue. The United States, which has already received poison from Fukushima, will get increased exposure, along with Japanese people who have already suffered terribly. Yet, our industry still insists that a ridiculously small ten mile evacuation zone is good enough around a stricken nuke.
The total amount of exposure will be suppressed. Immediately after the Fukishima accident, levels of allowed exposure were increased. The same thing happened after the Three Mile Island in the United States. The allowable level of strontium 90 in milk was increased to accommodate the nuclear industry. This was documented in my book "Asleep at the Geiger Counter". Also, read the book " Chernobyl – Consequencies of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment". See the page in this web site that tells you how to get the book for a very low price. As mentioned in this Chernobyl book, some promoters of nuclear power were were so dishonest that they declared radioactivity can have a beneficial health effect. It is an old, repeated claim. Such claimants are no different than skunks who insist there was never a Nazi Holocaust.
Our Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is prominently guilty of cover-up.
A confidential assessment written by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission strongly indicated knowledge that Japan's Daiichi nuclear reactors had experienced core fuel meltdown within the first few days after a devastating tsunami. By keeping its assessment confidential, the NRC allowed the Japanese government to remain silent about the fuel meltdown. The Japanese government failed to take adequate steps to evacuate the people surrounding Fukushima allowing them to receive high levels of radiation. Why would the NRC be involved with a Japanese plant? Well the plant is an American plant using the General Electric Mark I containment.
The NY Times reported (8/09/2011) that the mayor of a town near Fukushima believes "the withholding of information was akin to murder." Many residents view denying the facts about the nuclear disaster as part of "an official campaign to play down the scope of the accident and the potential health risks.
The NRC has repeatedly betrayed the health and safety of the public to lower costs of the nuke industry it is supposed to regulate. They have approved extending the operation of 21 American nuclear plants for 20 years longer than their design life. These 21 American plants have the same Mark 1 design that was in Fukushima.
A 1986 internal report about the shortcomings of the GE Mark 1 by Harold Denton (then top safety official at the NRC) warned that Mark 1 containments have a 90% chance of failing under accident conditions.
Along with routinely ignoring many other problems, the NRC has always approved absolutely every request by a nuke utility for extending operation 50% longer than design life.
I was taught in engineering school that the construction code demands the use of a safety factor for design to protect against unforeseen conditions. Radioactivity and intense heat in a nuke reactor greatly weakens its structure. The older a nuke is, the more dangerous it becomes. By extending nuke operation 50% longer than design life, the NRC automatically replaces any safety factor, which might be there with an arrogance factor.
As an engineer, one of the first things that struck me was how so many claims by the nuclear industry violate the most elementary principles of physics, engineering, common sense, and decency. For example, the nuclear folks discovered a new law of physics.
In the event of a nuke disaster, even though poisons from Chernobyl and Fukushima traveled all around the world, they are satisfied with a mere ten-mile evacuation zone around a stricken nuke. In other words, they rule that the wind stops blowing after ten miles. Ridiculous! Other claims are at odds with the second law of thermodynamics and the law of conservation of energy plus other principles. Deceit on a grand scale is usual. I documented this simply in my book, "Asleep at the Geiger Counter" published by Blue Dolphin Publishing, Inc.
Some people will do anything for money. NRC stands for Nobody Really Cares.
What happened at Fukishima, or worse, can happen in the United States, in view of the extreme vulnerability of spent fuel rod pools
which are in buildings that have ordinary commercial construction. No significant shielding. These pools contain much more radioactivity in them than the nuclear reactors themselves. Remember that a typical 1000 megawatt nuke attempts to safely contain more
radioactivity than a thousand Hiroshima Atoms would releace.

About Us
/ Farm Bill Programs in 2010
Loading Tree...
About Us
In 2010 New Jersey received more than $16 million through the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Farm Bill) for eligible landowners and agricultural producers through USDA voluntary programs.
Farm Bill Program assistance is provided by NRCS from six locations throughout the State. New Jersey landowners and agricultural producers can visit their local service center to receive help in planning and implementing conservation practices on their land. The charts provided below show program allocations by Service Centers.
AMA provides cost share assistance to voluntarily address issues such as water management, water quality, and erosion control. In New Jersey, the program specifically targets beginning and limited resource farmers, small farms, and producers who have had limited participation in other USDA financial assistance programs. Producers may construct or improve water management structures or irrigation structures; plant trees for windbreaks or to improve water quality; and mitigate risk through production diversification or resource conservation practices, including soil erosion control, integrated pest management, or transition to organic farming. In 2010, there were 17 contracts awarded with $324,715 in allocated AMA funds on 473.2 acres of land.
AWEP is a voluntary conservation program under the 2008 Farm Bill available only in approved watersheds across the country. In New Jersey, a partnership between the North Jersey Resource Conservation & Development Council (RC&D), the New Jersey Water Supply Authority (NJWSA) and NRCS was approved to provide financial and technical assistance to owners and operators of agricultural lands in the Raritan River basin to protect water quality. In 2010, 11 contracts were awarded with $223,816 in allocated AMA funds on 651 acres.
The Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP) is a voluntary conservation program that encourages agricultural and forestry producers to address resource concerns in a comprehensive manner by undertaking additional conservation activities; and improving, maintaining, and managing existing conservation activities. In 2010, NRCS awarded 9 CSP contracts totaling $71,225.
EQIP provides financial assistance for permanent measures or management strategies to address existing resource concerns related to water quality, soil quality and other resource concerns. New Jersey contracted with 143 producers using $5,184,245 in 2010 funds to implement new conservation systems on over 15,000 acres throughout the State.
With 26% of New Jersey's 733,450 acres of farmland permanently preserved, the most densely populated state in the Union leads the Nation in percentage and ranks fourth in acres of farmland preserved. Through the Farm and Ranchlands Protection Program (FRPP), NRCS has partnered with State and non-profit organizations toward achieving the State's goal of preserving 500,000 to 600,000 acres of New Jersey's farmland. FRPP provides matching funds to State government and non-profit organizations who purchase conservation easements to keep productive farmland in agricultural uses. FRPP funding totaled $8,878,894 in FY2010.
From 1996 through 2010, NRCS has assisted in acquiring 155 farmland easements in New Jersey, totaling16,445 acres. In New Jersey NRCS has invested $34,004,850 in these lands to protect the long term productivity of the soil, averaging about 19% of the total easement value. State, county, municipal, and private foundation sources provide the rest of the funding.
The Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) is a voluntary program jointly managed by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and Farm Service Agency (FSA). The program purpose is to assist owners and operators of private land in protecting grazing uses and the related grassland values, such as grassland-dependent plants and animals, soil erosion control, and air or water quality protection. In FY2010 five contracts were obligated by FSA for a total of $59,749.
WRP provides technical and financial assistance to enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring marginal land from agriculture. Introduced in the 1996 Farm Bill, the program has been widely used in New Jersey. In FY2010 New Jersey received $1,159,396 in WRP funds.
WHIP provides financial assistance to create, enhance, or maintain five priority wildlife habitat types on non-federal lands. New Jersey received $417,068 in WHIP funds to support 25 contracts for 2010 and manages to provide wildlife benefits on 1,238 acres.

After 20 years of battling Monsanto and corporate agribusiness, food and farm activists in Vermont, backed by a growing movement across the country, are on the verge of a monumental victory — mandatory labels on genetically engineered foods and a ban on the routine industry practice of labeling GMO-tainted foods as "natural."
On April 16, 2014, the Vermont Senate passed H.112 by a vote of 28-2, following up on the passage of a similar bill in the Vermont House last year. The legislation, which requires all GMO foods sold in Vermont to be labeled by July 1, 2016, will now pass through a House/Senate conference committee before landing on Governor Peter Shumlin's desk, for final approval.
Strictly speaking, Vermont's H.112 applies only to Vermont. But it will have the same impact on the marketplace as a federal law. Because national food and beverage companies and supermarkets will not likely risk the ire of their customers by admitting that many of the foods and brands they are selling in Vermont are genetically engineered, and deceptively labeled as "natural" or "all natural" while simultaneously trying to conceal this fact in the other 49 states and North American markets. As a seed executive for Monsanto admitted 20 years ago, "If you put a label on genetically engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it." Continue reading

Beautiful Sets of Stationary
Dramatic Roses Save the Date Cards I loved being able to take a template design and make it my own with my wedding colors and favorite fonts. The quality is great, and was very impressed with the final product. I loved how they also sent me some sample cards and a color card. The color card is very helpful, as a lot of times the colors on the computer screen don't show up as the exact color that it would be on paper. I also loved how you could ask for sample cards in the template design you are most interested in, as it gave me a great idea of what to expect for the specific design I wanted. I also think it's great that MagnetStreet has many templates that have coordinating sets (save-the-dates, invites, thank you's, favors, etc). So far I've only ordered my save-the-dates, but will be ordering the invites, thanks you's enclosure cards, etc very soon!

Romantic Ruche Save the Date Cards We did not spend much time trying to organize our save the dates, it took us awhile to play around with the formatting of the save the date but rather than that it worked out perfectly. The only downfall is the size of the save the date, we expected it to be larger, granted we should have paid attention to the measurements they gave us then we would have known but hind sight is 20/20. The other disadvantage was the size of the writing, it was quite small, which may have been a problem for the elderly we invited. All in all, it was great and we loved it, I would do it again. It was very personalized, looked professional and was not a hassle to get it done! Would recommend this again, in addition we received many compliments and no complaints!

WEST WARWICK — West Warwick Police are continuing to investigate a fire that greatly damaged a concession stand, after it was deemed suspicious by the Fire Marshal.
West Warwick Fire Chief Joe Baris explained that on Aug. 3 at 8:30 p.m. fire personnel responded to a fire at a concession stand near the girl's softball field at Riverpoint Park.
"The police are doing the investigation currently and they are working with the Fire Marshal," he said. "But all the signs lead to arson."
Matt Tyler, President of the West Warwick girl's softball league, explained that there was a large amount of damage done to the building.
He said there are burns in the back of the stand and an eight foot hole in the wall facing the field.
He said the firefighters also had to pull off 15 boards to make sure the fire had not spread to inside the walls.
Tyler said the only three things that were salvageable in the building were the two pitching machines and the new freezer.
"We lost everything else in that room because of water and smoke damage," he said. "All the cooking utensils for the hot dogs and hamburgers, steam machine, big Pepsi cooler, table, all the countertops and cabinets."
He said damage of this magnitude has never occurred before, even though the various concession stands on the fields have seen vandalism throughout the years.
"In the past we've been broken into multiple times," he said. "Because there are no lights down there it's difficult to see if people are in the fields at night. I've had to build steel cages over the windows and doors."
Tyler explained that during the past 10 years, $10,000 worth of property has been stolen.
He said the league has purchased between four and five cash registers throughout the years, and all of the registers have been stolen as well.
"The only thing we can do in the future is have some lighting and cameras put in down there to keep an eye on the property," he said. "It's frustrating because it's constant repair for what other people have done and they don't seem to care about the kids in the league. It's a difficult area to control."
He said that even though the town is helping the league with repairs to the building, the league is still responsible for replacing all the damaged equipment.
Tyler said the league has opened up a building fund and "anybody willing to donate money to help would be greatly appreciated."
Donations can be mailed to the following address or at the Centreville Savings Bank, 1218 Main St.
West Warwick Girl's Softball League, P.O. Box 1246, West Warwick, R.I. 02893.
Yes - the site of vandalism and destruction of property is always disturbing and devastating, especially when volunteers work the land to make such good things happen.
The JAYCEES experienced their share of a similar fate (just across the field lanes) when the Narragansett Indian Tribal Nation presented the People of West Warwick with a beautiful Native American Display Case ( holding copies of the Town's Tree Care & Preservation Ordinance and the Pawtuxet River Authority's original legilsation)that was housed at the award-winning JAYCEE Corridor & Arboretum and state Senator Donald Roch Riverwalk.
That had occurred sometime in 2010 on the night of the Classic Car Show and oldies Concert on a hot July evening. Lots of fun and great sentiments abounded. Police and authorities tried to run down leads, but came up short.
The JAYCEES have advocated circa 1996 that Riverpoint COMMUNITY Park should have its own Master Plan that emphasizes not only active, but passive recreation as well.
The entrance gates and system should be modernized. Close-circuit cameras can be placed at these spots, even in locations along the Bikepath - and can be filtered into the Town's Web site.
The Remediation Plan for the Park should take place soon to avoid any further soil erosion, pollution and excessive costs.
The infrastructure to the many special places and common uses of west Warwick must be upgraded annually; this makes solid sense.
Together as a town, community, neighborhoods and along with business and volunteers, we can make things better and more enjoyable for residents and visitors alike.

Charles G. Hill
Property Name:
Turkey Hill
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
Sweetser Road, Linthicum Heights, Anne Arundel County
Turkey Hill was built about 1822 by William Linthicum. Originally it consisted of a 1 1/2-story frame section and a 3-story field stone section linked together by an open porch. As the family increased in size, Linthicum added another story to the frame portion, making it 2 1/2 stories high. At that time, he also added a one-story front porch across the south facade, built of Neo-Classical design with Doric columns, an elaborate cornice with metopes and triglyphs with dentiled cornices above and below, and a balustrade. Eventually the open porch between the frame and stone parts was enclosed. The frame section is five bays wide, with a central entrance flanked by 4-pane sidelights and surmounted by a transom. Windows are mostly 6/6 sash flanked by louvered shutters, with those on the main block being taller on the first floor than on the second. The first floor of the south facade of the stone section has a large tripartite window consisting of a 6/6 sash window flanked by narrow 3/3 sashes. All windows in the stone section are surmounted by brick jack arches. The east end of the stone section is covered by a large early 20th century two-story porch with huge Doric columns and a broken pediment with a large fanlight with tracery in the tympanum. This porch is screened on the first floor and partially enclosed with windows on the second. The second floor also carries a geometric balustrade. Interior chimneys rise from each end of the frame section, and the center of the stone section, and from the rear of a gable-roofed rear wing. All appear to be replacements. Three gable-roofed dormers with 6/6 sash project from either side of the roof of the frame section of the house. On the interior, wooden mantels over the fireplaces in the parlor and master bedroom appear to be original. The stairway in the frame portion with its curved balustrade and landings are still present. A mantel in the living room of white Italian marble replaces the old mantel, which was destroyed by fire. South of the house is a birdhouse built by William Linthicum, modeled after Camden Station in Baltimore City. A late-19th century carriage house, a late-19th century meathouse, and an early-20th century garage also stand on the property.
The house is an example of an early-19th century house that has been lived in constantly by one family. It shows the changes which have occurred over the generations, but still retains much of its original external appearance. The builder and original owner, William Linthicum, was an excellent carpenter who also built the Sweetser Toll Bridge over the Patapsco River (Old Annapolis Road now runs over that site). He was also one of the original members of the Holly Run Church, the first Methodist Protestant Church built in the world. His obituary, in 1866, described him as an upright man who could well have represented his area in Congress. The second owner, Sweetser Linthicum, was a successful farmer. The third owner, Seth Hance Linthicum, was a lawyer and real estate man. He and his three brothers developed the town of Linthicum.

Undergraduate Programs
Interdisciplinary Wellness Coaching Minor (IWCM)
Wellness Coaching is an emerging profession that has roots in applied behavioral science and adult development, and more recently has embraced positive psychology. Behavioral scientists have shown that one-on-one coaching is among the most effective approaches to helping people make and sustain improvements in their lives.
The relationship between a coach and client offers a profound level of support, guidance, and encouragement to making changes, without being judgmental. A coach enables change by focusing on a client's stated needs, values, vision, and goals and helping to bring out his/her personal best. (Per the International Coaching Federation (ICF) website).
The culminating experience of the Wellness Coaching Internship pulls together all of the knowledge of the minor and gives the intern the opportunity to practice wellness coaching with real-life clients and reflect on this experience. We are interdisciplinary - doing together what none of us can do separately.
Paula Kommor, MEd, CPA
Interdisciplinary Wellness Coaching Minor Chair

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) -- Nick Saban says there's no magic formula to winning big games.
Saban and No. 2 Alabama are gearing up for Saturday night's visit from top-ranked LSU with the winner keeping an inside track to the national championship game.
Saban says such games typically come down to execution and turnovers.
The Tigers are seeking their first 9-0 start since 1973 in the much-hyped game. Both teams had open dates last weekend to extend the buildup and each have won a national title over the past five years.
It's the first 1 versus 2 SEC matchup outside the league championship game. It's only the 23rd time it's happened in the regular season since the AP poll began in 1936.
Says Tide noseguard Josh Chapman: "We live for games like this."

|On the fourth I posted a question asking for the procedure on changing the friction wheel on my Ariens snowblower model 10M4. I did get a few replies with some suggestions,butI'm still having trouble. The wheel is attached to a hub that slides left and right on the hex shaft.I am assuming that you have to take that hub off of the shaft or at least slide the wheel over the shaft to get the wheel off. How do I get the shaft out of the bearings on either side. There is a nut on the end of the hex shaft but removing it still wont allow the shaft to move. Can some one tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I still need to do.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Sometimes all you need to do is to unbolt the disc, remove one shaft retainer and drop the disc out. Does the carrier itself unbolt?
|I don't remember which model it was, but I had to remove the bearing holder on one side and get the gear off the chain on the other side. It took awhile.
It's pretty much self-explanatory once you get started. You can see everything involved. I had some trouble getting the disc back into the sliding carrier. I would put some marks on the carrier to get it in the same position for reassembly.
|Yeah as the previous forum members have indicated remove the pillow blocks or carriers from the chassis after you have removed the gear from the jack-shaft chain , friction wheel should slide of shaft I believe all wheels have 3 capscrews also . It sometimes requires an extra set of hands to re-assemble lol !
|Thanks guys
The selector rod to the wheel slider mechinism can be unpinned, allowing the wheel to slide all the way to end of the shaft. I already took the chain off and got some of the other linkage stuff out of the way. I think your right removing the bearing caps to allow the shaft to slide should allow me to get the wheel off.
I'll let you know how it goes.
| Oh yeah , you have to 1st disconnect the shaft from the gear selector handle , we had confidence in your common sense
Kirk lol ! Let us know how it goes .
P.S. Did you get the assembly back in without any assistance (wife) never hurts to have an extra set of hands !

Critic & User Reviews
Not the best in the series

11 out of 17 gamers (65%) found this review helpful
There is a sense of accomplishment for getting the assignments done.
The characters do have a certain charm about them, in a cliche anime character sorta way.
One playthrough will generally last only about 15 hours, so by RPG standards is relativity short
The charm isn't enough to detract you from how one dimensional the characters are.
While the grachics are greatly improved over the PS2 Atelier games, there still at best PS2 quality
Tutorials could be more descriptive. For example the tutorial for weapon creation never makes clear that you only need on Ingot or Cloth to make something, So one might make two ingots with two different effects in preparations to make a stronger weapon only to find out that they only needed one.
Non compelling story, The story is that with recent technological advances in the society of Arland a lot of decided a Factory would be more helpful then an Atelier, But since the kingdom is in the depth of the founder of the Atelier they decide to give the owner of the atelier a test, complete twelve assignments, keep the workshop. The owner then gives the workshop to her pupil, Rorona.
Several elements that made other Atelier games compelling games have been removed.
Dull repetitive combat.
In closing
Atelier Rorona is just plain dull, there is nothing compelling here to make people want to play through it once, let alone the multiple play throughs to get all the trophies. If your interested in this game out of curiosity then get a game in the Atelier Iris or Mana Khemia series, but don't waste your time with Rorona.

Vaguely entertaining, but not challenging enough

You must create various concoctions for the kingdom every 3 months, which require you often to venture outside the realm of Arland to find. Sounds easy enough, right? That's because it is. Too easy, in fact. You might think that you have to rush in order to collect the items and mix together in time to beat the deadline; when in fact you pretty much only have to spend usually less than 20 days out of the 89 available to complete the tasks successfully. You can perfect your concoctions like I did, but there is little point in doing so.
There aren't any real challenges or intellectually-stimulating puzzles to solve, just a bunch of running back and forth between destinations to gather the necessary supplies to complete the simple tasks set for you by the kingdom.
I played it through to completion just to see what would happen (if it would get any better), but it never did. The plot was full of holes, and left me wondering what was supposed to be going on between the main character and some other nefarious figures who apparently factor into the story somehow.
Loooooooooong story short, this game is not worth playing, unless you truly have NOTHING better to do with your time. Like me ;)
Yay Atelier is back!

Addictive, or I Just Alchemized Crystal Meth

5 out of 10 gamers (50%) found this review helpful
Gameplay breaks down neatly into two categories: Alchemy and Adventure. You'll Adventure to go out into the field, fighting monsters and harvesting goods from their corpses and from the colorful dungeons. You'll then Alchemy those components into new items, items that can then create other items, be forged into armor/weapons, or be used to complete assignments from your party members and, most importantly, from the king. All of these actions eat up days, and the flow of the game is broken up by 80-90 day deadlines, at the end of which you must have submitted enough of the king's requests to satisfy him. If not . . . game over.
The trick is time-management, which would be fine if the game didn't force you to memorize character locations and then run about every few days to check in with them for new requests, and if it weren't so frustrating to organize and deliver those items. But to the game's credit, each month brings a new twist to the system: new shops open, new characters join, and eventually, you are given the ability to store up to ten items in each shop--allowing you to buy them in the future, rather than eating up days on end to make them again. Moreover, you're also given a Mystery Bag that eases management--but like I said, if you're not into that, it won't matter.
The good news is that the game is fairly easy to breeze through; the bad news is that if you want the good ending, then you'll be grinding elixirs like there's no tomorrow. The dialogue is whimsical enough to keep you going, and there's always something new in store, but unless you like repetition, stay away.
Very Good
I actually like this game.

I guess it is one of those hit or miss games so it can either be really good or really bad. But like most of my reviews, I have to post the pros and cons.
You can choose which characters you want to choose as your two friends to help you with your quest.
There are a lot of girls (I'm a guy so yeah, the more the girls the better, don't even kid yourself if you don't know what I mean)
You can make a lot of things through alchemy.
The game is a block of cheese, it's an acquired taste.
YOU HAVE TO HIRE FRIENDS. yeah, it's pretty sad you have to buy to have friends to come with you to do missions. You are a loner 14 year old whom have pedo stalkers.
A lot of the girls are 13 year olds (OH NO, LOLICON!!!!!!!!!) and the 25 year old knight likes the 14 year old rorona, yeah...that bad..
It takes a lot of money and time managing skills to make items and it's hard to make money.
If you are afraid of playing a relatively girly but manly oriented game...well then this isn't for you...the girls blush like there is no tomorrow and bleh... it isn't as bad as other gust games however.
Well Rendered Story, Relaxing Music

Visual: Beautiful screenshots, artfully design graphics, character sketches, and frame shots were made in every step of the game. It blends a style of single frame with full, bouncy 3-D type rooms. Rorona can jump, but I'm not sure why (haha), and there are many areas of the 3-D rendered town which seem to present absolutely zero purpose. Between the synthesizing and character interactions, it's a great game to gather, buy/sell, explore, complete missions, and not having to worry about dying! (No time constraints or stress in failure!) For those who pointed out some of the holes in the game, I'm not sure what they were complaining about, other than not a difficult challenge.
Could have done better: in the town areas, the people are just walking like zombies. maybe some more interaction and dialog would be nice. Also, putting some real purpose and more depth into the town areas. Other than that, I like the fact they kept it simple!

Atelier Rorona was fun..until the glitches started?
When i first got the game I decided I wanted to get 100% and I decided I would look up some other reviews. The first thing that popped up was loading screen glitches? I was like yeah right no one wrote about those glitches on gamefly so I'm good.
Mistake. There is a loading glitch in the game I got anyway in the Mines. Out of all places why the dang mines? I couldnt get the screen to load so i couldnt collect anything there?
End of story sent Rorona back, Plus honestly the story was boring. Do 12 assignments to save the workshop? Where is the evil boss come to take over? pssh.

However, this game suffers dramatically in the combat department. Your party will consist of 3 people, being the main character and 2 people you hire to collect ingredients. The combat system is relatively basic but has an element bar that changes as you use certain skill and as the fight goes on. While this is a neat feature, the battles are quite short and it cannot be utilized fully. DO NOT expect epic boss battles with insanely awesome rewards either, this game is almost devoid of any true boss confrontation.
So to sum up, Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland is, in it's own respect, a great game. It's fun to make and create your own items and well as experience the story. However those who are into RPGs for the combat sequences and epic cut scenes should probably avoid this game completely.

Well, at least thats the feel I got during the hour I forced myself to play this game hoping it would get better.
I am really only a casual game enthusiast and perhaps I am missing the point and hidden value of this game, but I found it to be painfully tedious. It seems like the game is really just solving a bunch of somewhat complex math problems before a deadline to keep the shop you are managing from being shutdown. That activity might be stimulating if the game play was not so 2D and 1987. There does not seem to be any realtime or 3D interaction with the world. You are forced to read alot of on-screen conversations, clicking through each sentence in lockstep format. Battle is painfully boring turn based. Graphics are lacking. Much of the game play is watching motionless 2D character renderings have conversations. I have played various RPGs for years and enjoyed them, but got no enjoyment from this game

However, this one has a single flaw that will make it close to impossible to even play for a large portion of people.
If you don't have an HD tv, a lot of the text in the game is so microscopic and blurry that it is impossible to see. Many other games have had this problem, but this has to be the worst case I've ever seen..
The normal chat text and incombat text is perfectly readable and at a fine font.. however most of the status screens, items, equipment, etc use this font that just doesn't translate to a SDtv.
Is it playable? technicly yes it is, but only if you like headaches and trying to read font that is impossible to decipher even at extreamly close range..
Now, I know what you are thinking. "Well genius, go out and buy a HD tv, they arn't that expensive these days." I agree with that to a point. yes, I should upgrade soon. However, most other games on the ps3 are able to use font that is perfectly readable.
Also, from what I have read, even if you have an HDtv, the font problem is still pretty serious.. it's not as blurry, but it is still very very small.
It could have been a very fun game.
This game is easily the worse game in the series
