Karl-Heinz Rummenigge tribute song
21 January ~ Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was widely praised recently for his club's acquisition of Pep Guardiola. Perhaps it might inspire a follow-up to this which was, incredibly, a minor hit in Germany in the early 1980s.

[QUOTE=PaleoBlog;1084380]Spaghetti squash is a fun food. I always wonder what the seeds would be like toasted. Anyone ever toast them up?[/QUOTE]
Yep! They're good!
Spaghetti squash is awesome. I was concerned I was having an adverse reaction to it, but it turned out to be something else. Now my household has spaghetti squash once or twice a week. It's quick and easy and good for you!
If you're trying to stay low-carb, maybe don't eat the whole thing at one sitting. Otherwise, go to town on it!
Cook the spaghetti squash,Then take a fork and shred it. Saute onion and garlic in a little bit of olive oil and butter, throw in some basil or parsley.Toss the spaghetti squash and mixture together and VOILA... Delicious as a side or main dish! :)
the seeds are just like pumpkin seeds, which I love, and usually just eat right out of the squash after it's done
new users beware, a largish squash can make A LOT of "spaghetti", so if you are only feeding 1-2 people, get the smallest one you can find; also, it is mostly water, so it doesn't freeze well or keep well very long, it will release a lot of water over time
[QUOTE=heatseeker;1084219]Spaghetti squash is actually pretty low in carbs, compared to most other squashes or tubers. I regularly eat 1-2 cups of the stuff with homemade bolognese sauce. Also, if mac and cheese was your comfort food as a kid, spaghetti squash with butter, garlic salt, and parmesan or nutritional yeast tastes gives me the same warm fuzzy feelings. Love it.[/QUOTE]
yeah so true. I love this type of squash. It's so filling and it such a good alternative to a regular pasta

After reading all the reviews, and getting a tremendous balcony price, we decided to try this beautiful ship. We really enjoyed the elegance and entertainment on the Celebrity Silhouette, and MSC is similar. We can't understand the bad reviews, unless it was a crowded holiday sailing because children below 12 are free. Our Jan. 12th sailing had some toddlers, babies and children and the facilities for them were excellent...great wading pools all around the main pools which are beautiful Gaudi-like tiled shapes. The steam room is beautiful with a cool fountain in the middle...also the Zen room and fitness area.
The ceilings in the public areas are not as high as the Solstice class, but the atrium with the crystal staircase, and the Pantheon theatre are spectacular. The access around the ship is great, with lots of elevators and stairways. There is no access through deck 6 because of the kitchens.
We had 5:45 dining and were able to finish by 7:15 and get to the theatre to see the first show, and then enjoy all the entertainment and live music on the 7th deck...the Luna. Golden, and Black and White Lounge all had fabulous singers and musicians. The Michael Jackson Show, Witches, acrobats, and Wonderland were the Best! Every night the dancers and singers performed, sometimes in the disco too. There is no live orchestra but the sound and lighting are good. We feel we received hundreds of dollars worth of entertainment. Leaving the lit port of Miami at night on the upper rear deck while dancing to a guitarist/singer was a memorable highlight.
We have always selected "my time" dining, and a table for 2, but enjoyed the couple we met and didn't have to reserve, wait in line, and liked the slower cadence of the presentation. The menu had excellent choice, presentation, and flavour and our waiters would bring us more, or change our plate if it was not to our satisfaction. My veal ossobucco was not tender one night, but a beef striploin steak was delicious. The main dining rooms are open everyday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The 14th floor buffets had more selection and most of the tables had water views. We enjoyed the Mediterranean dishes at the rear, and the aft tables. However the salad bars are all at the front, perhaps they could put some stations at the back. We avoid carbs and desserts for our waistlines, but the breads and pastries looked delicious. We bought a house wine package online and did save the gratuity....7 bottles for $85. The red dolcetto is OK, we were able to taste the other house wine at the buffet bar, but would recommend the higher priced package.
The entertainment staff worked hard with lots of activities, games, dances, and at night would convince everyone to have fun and join in. They had a "dancing with the stars" contest, and lots of nighttime stuff if you have the energy to party at night. They had a "60's" night, a white night etc.
We had a baseball stars group who did activities, told stories, signed baseballs, etc and also 2 terrific Country and Western Bands onboard for 6 days from Grand Rapids Michigan. We really enjoyed the celebrity guests.
Our fellow passengers were mostly European, 600 Italian hairdressers for a L'Oreal convention, Germans, Brits, Chinese, S.American, and lots of snowbirds like us who live in Florida. Most everyone was polite, very happy, not too obese, and we never noticed a smoking problem. We had a mix of ages.
The bar, wait, and cabin staff work 7 days a week, and long hours. I read that they do not get all their tips, so we gave half our gratuities to them in cash, and tipped our room service person when she brought our coffee in the morning. I spoke to some of the workers discreetly about their working conditions, poor food - they are very skinny, and they say their tips are rolled in with their salary...no wonder we are not bugged to buy drinks. Customer service could not say exactly how the tips are distributed ie $4 for waiter, steward, and other staff. They used to have 2 stewards cleaning 19 rooms, now have only 1. We have no complaints about the service and/or friendliness.
We were able to visit "the Yacht Club" on departure day. Very swish..saw cabin 16005, similar to ours, but an extra dressing room, and bigger balcony. Their restaurant, La Muse, is aft on deck 15. They have no trouble finding a deck chair on their private oasis. People still "save" their chairs even though they leave for longer than the 30 minutes allotted.
Loved it....so much better than Carnival....will go again.
An NCL island, much improved, easy access, nice beach and snorkeling with underwater trail and sites to explore. There is a walking trail to a rocky outcrop. Volleyball and soccer. Flea market (cash only) All in drink pkg not included.

|by Sean Branney and Darrell Tutchton
played July 10, 1985 in Denver
Investigators encounter a byakhee which has been eating exotic dancers.
Game Notes
Sean and Darrell elected to use a real-live topless dance bar as the location for this game, an establishment that KQ declined to enter. So Andrew, as the incredibly uptight and mirthless Gunnar Bachlund, wearing a long black coat and suit and tie, had to go in alone to find Candy Apple.AHL
This game demonstrates that with a rubber mask, a pickup truck and a silly location, one can put on a Cthulhu Lives game. That does not necessarily mean one should. Darrell and I set out on this endeavor with the sole notion that a strip club would be a funny location to use for a game. And it was funny, to us; but, as Mr. Leman's note above suggests, some of the humor was lost on the players.
By using a public location in a not-altogether intelligent manner, we set ourselves as Keepers up for a brush with the law. Although the game ended before the police actually arrive on the scene, it could easily have been Cthulhu Lives' first encounter with real police. My tip: if a scenario requires serious weirdness, it really needs to be conducted in a private or very isolated location.SB

What is Twitch tv?Twitch TV that was recently acquired by Amazon is an unusual phenomenon in this digital age we live in. Its rapid growth as a spinoff from Justin.tv it is grown until by 2014 it was garnering over 43 million viewers a month which puts it in the top five peak Internet traffic providers with 2 to 3% of the American Internet viewing public, Trending closely behind Google and the number one provider of online Internet entertainment Netflix.
What does this say about America's viewing habits cable TV viewers are declining regular TV is in the doldrums and people are more and more turning to the Internet for their entertainment needs.
The new High Definition TVs and Widescreen Plasma TVs have Internet connections already installed; as TV makers understand, the landscape for entertainment is shifting from TV, as we know it now to Internet provided venues from all over the world. Today in this article, we will examine the history of Twitch TV and see how it got to where it is today, what it provides for you, why Amazon acquired it and the possible future for Twitch TV and Internet entertainment in general.
Seemed worthy Justin.tv was launched in 2007 providing one of the first Internet websites that catered to those who sought entertainment. It provided entertainment in several venues but one of the more popular ones, the one devoted to interactive games seem worthy to have a side of its own. Thus, Twitch TV was born in 2011. Named after the term to describe first-person shooters where you are required to respond automatically to events that are occurring in the game and use your Twitch reflexes this side soon became a big hit.
So much so that in 2014 Justin.tv closed up shop of all its remaining content sites, renamed itself to Twitch interactive, and devoted itself entirely to support Twitch TV.
In 2013, it became the number one place to go for E-Sports; a term to describe interactive game based athletic events as well is the most popular of online game play competition.
This phenomenon became so great that YouTube and other competing online video sites have attempted to duplicate without success as of this time the garnering of such a large audience.
Twitch TV however has not been standing still. Their archival library of past gaming videos is now available on YouTube and extensive upgrading to Twitch TV's servers and infrastructure was completed with a large influx of much-needed capital.
This resulted in upgraded server speed bandwidth and audio capabilities. Unfortunately, not all these changes were met with viewers acceptance complaints were lodged about poor sound quality and other deficiencies. Twitch TV acted immediately and has corrected most of this.
Acquired By Amazon
Google began looking at acquiring Twitch TV, but antitrust potentials cause them to back away.
Amazon however was not bound by such constraints and acquired Twitch TV for over $900 million at the end of 2014. The fact that one of the largest media providers in the world now owns the most watched media and interactive sites on the planet can give some clue as to what Amazon is planning for the future.
Amazon is noted for its ability to develop and exploit new media technologies originally started to supply the book needs for the world. Amazon branched off with albums and later when the MP3 craze began switched from albums to the other venues of music as well.
They are now a major supplier of videos and Twitch TV may be the opener into an interactive realm of streaming video, entertainment, Music, E-sports as well as Twitch's signature product of online gaming entertainment.
Is one of the big three cloud service providers and this to offers possibilities for expanding Twitched TVs streaming capabilities in the cloud to Amazons many Cloud service subscribers.
What does Twitch Provide?
Currently Twitch is providing streaming video and interactive activities for some of the popular online gaming World of WarCraft, Halo, and Counterstrike are just three of their offerings with many others available that change as public tastes developed to new trends.
E-Sporting events where online gamers compete head-to-head for a claim enterprises in their favorite video games, programming is centered around gaming reviews of new and current games being played. Twitch also provides news, specials, as well as special events, which are streamed similarly to that of pay-per-view on cable or satellite.
You can see where Twitch TV has the advantage over the cable companies and satellite providers as its investment in infrastructure is much less, as it rides on the already existing Internet connections that are in place worldwide and not limited by currents FCC and federal regulations as are cable and satellite companies are.
This provides Twitch TV with the flexibility to develop its own programming virtually without any government interference or regulation.
And with new regulations passed down by the Fed things may even be rosier for Twitch TV as Internet services are now being reported the same status as cable companies and therefore Internet may become a direct competitor to the current cable TV monopoly that exist in this country.
Amazon is obviously aware of this and is looking to expand their services into your home and Twitch TV maybe the vehicle that allows them to do this.
The Future of Twitch TV
So, as you can see Twitch TV as part of Amazon.com may become the future of entertainment in this country replacing cable, satellite, and regular TV with streaming video, these sports, online gaming, as well as other media that Amazon may choose to include. Since as mentioned before Amazon is one of the "Big Three" Cloud Service Providers. It has the hardware and the infrastructure already in place to break into the Internet media market in a big way and Twitch TV may be the door that lets Amazon have the edge needs to expand dramatically in the next 2 to 7 years.
Twitch tv is the biggest providers of online gaming, game related videos and music, and information pertaining to gaming. In fact, if it has anything to do with gaming you'll probably find it here first and be able to interact with it before it is generally known to the public.
Amazon has acquired Twitch TV and is potentially gearing up to make a tremendous expansion into the world of Internet media and entertainment using videos, music, live events, and a 43 million person viewership dedicated to online gaming. Amazon now has a dedicated fan base and is looking to expand that even further. Where this will lead is fascinating, with the possibilities of the new types of entertainment that may be just down the road.

Fly directly to Stavanger from London and you'll arrive in a historic fishing city, made rich originally through herring fishing and latterly through oil. The traditional painted wooden buildings around the harbor have been joined with more contemporary developments and there's a feeling of being in a boom town.
The population is boosted by oil-workers, who spend their land leave eating alongside the Norwegians in seafood restaurants and in the lively, late-night bars – often drinking beer from the famous local artisan brewer, Lervig. Once you've explored the city's main sights, the old town, and the museums, take a boat ride out into the archipelago and join the locals in their admiration of the surrounding fjords and dramatic rock faces.
British Airways flights to Stavanger from London take only one hour 45 minutes. You will then find yourself at the heart of one of Norway's most scenic regions and in a friendly and prosperous city, a great place for a leisurely city break.
There are two British Airways flights a day from London Heathrow (LHR) Terminal 5 to Stavanger (SVG). Choose to fly with hand baggage only or pick a price that includes a 23kg checked baggage allowance and free seat selection 24 hours before you fly – both options include complimentary on-board drinks and snacks.
Fly non-stop from London to Stavanger for a city break that combines cultural sightseeing with beautiful natural surroundings. After a short one hour 45 minute flight from London you'll find yourself in one of Scandinavia's most laid-back cities surrounded by some of Norway's most spectacular scenery.
The airport is an easy 15km (9 mile) journey southwest of the city. The 25-minute ride by airport bus costs around £11 and it will stop at most of the main hotels. There are also taxis and car rental services. Stavanger's main sights are all within easy walking distance. For trips further afield, there are reliable boat and bus services.
There are duty free shops both sides of customs and free wireless internet access throughout the airport.

In the language of the actual press release, the poll inferred that consumers were willing to pay more for more efficient vehicles, but stopped short of issuing any empirical data on actual price premiums consumers were willing to pay for a vehicle that met that lofty standard.. The release also refrained from detailing what percentage of respondents would actually be interested in purchasing such vehicles.
In this day of "something for nothing" thinking, free or low-cost app downloads, do you think consumers are being naïve about the potential costs and trade-offs of high-mileage vehicles, and the fact that the proposed standards will likely mean smaller cars, with less-powerful engines, as the auto manufacturers are claiming? Or do you think, as in years past, automakers will meet the new federal standards, while maintaining the size, performance, and features to which auto buyers have become accustomed?
What do you think? Do we need to keep the throttle down, so-to-speak, on fuel efficiency standards? Or do federal regulators and legislators need to back down and take a more gradual, pragmatic approach to economy standards? Are you willing to pay a little more for a vehicle that drinks a little less fuel?

When Jennifer Edwards was 18, she had a bitter argument with her rich, famous, strong-willed father. She wanted his blessing to marry the family karate instructor. Father was more than disappointed; he didn't attend the wedding and later stopped talking to her at all. When Jennifer's daughter, Katie, was born, Dad stubbornly pretended she didn't exist. Sixteen months after that, when Katie (a victim of congenital heart disease) had to undergo dangerous open-heart surgery, Dad continued to maintain his wall of silence.
Jennifer and her father, writer-producer-director Blake (Victor/Victoria) Edwards, reconciled after two years. As she remembers it, she picked up the phone and said, "Dad, I'm leaving my husband. He said, 'C'mon home, you've got a room.' " But for Jennifer and Blake there were still conflicts left unresolved. Now, in That's Life! Edwards' largely autobiographical film, father and daughter engage in what amounts to family therapy onscreen, with Julie Andrews, Blake's second wife and Jennifer's stepmother, playing her real-life role as referee.
Jennifer, now 29, is portrayed as a mother-to-be in the movie because, Blake says, "I did not participate in her pregnancy and I wanted a second chance." Jack Lemmon plays the father role and Edwards is unsparing in depicting him as egotistical and selfish, more interested in his own problems than those of his wife and children. In one scene Jennifer ridicules her father's vanity and fear of aging since he won't let his daughter's first child call him grandpa. The scene, of course, is drawn from life.
Jennifer is grateful to That's Life! not just for a good role that's winning her solid reviews but as "a chance to work out feelings" about her father, who still offers no apology for his hard line as a parent. "Our estrangement broke my heart," says Blake, now 64, "but sometimes in order to make your point it's better not to relinquish whatever ground you've gained."
Today, Jennifer insists she harbors no resentment. Animosity seems out of character for this fragile, ethereal woman, who as a child, says Andrews, "was wise beyond her years." Jennifer was 11 when Blake and Jennifer's mother, costume designer Patricia Edwards, divorced. Jennifer never tried to reunite them. "I love my mother and father, but I love them apart," she says. Jennifer lived with her mother in England until she was 17, spending holidays with her father and Andrews (who wed in 1969) in their primary residence in Gstaad, Switzerland, a tax haven. There, Jennifer, her younger brother, Geoffrey, now 26, and stepsister Emma, now 23, Andrews' daughter by set designer Tony Walton, came in for some stern disciplinary tactics. When Geoff experimented with drugs, Blake stopped talking to him ("He's cleaned up now—a great young man," says Blake; Geoff is now a screenwriter). Andrews took care of lesser offenses, such as bad hygiene or messy rooms. "When the kids misbehaved," she says, "they had to pay a forfeit." Jennifer decided Julie should pay a forfeit, too, when she cursed. "People think Julie is all sugar, but she gets in a few swear words," confides Jennifer, and Andrews, 51, admits, "It's God's truth." After uttering one such oath Jennifer coerced her into writing a children's story that became the 1971 book Mandy.
One of Jennifer's storybook fantasies came to life at 10 when she was spotted by a TV casting director while visiting her father on a movie set and was soon signed to play the title role in Heidi. After that, acting became her single ambition. Her father gave her a small part in his 1972 thriller, The Carey Treatment, and later cast her in his S.O.B., The Man Who Loved Women and A Fine Mess. She bristles at charges of nepotism. "It's more difficult for kids of established parents because people expect you to be just as good as your parents even though they've had more experience," she says. Though Blake is writing a new film, Sunset, with a big part for her, Jennifer is courting independence by auditioning for a role on Family Ties. She'd love a series, but after a failed audition for Catherine Oxenberg's part on Dynasty, Jennifer figures she's not fated for the nighttime soaps. "What appeals on TV is lots of hair, lots of teeth and lots of boob. I'm always put in the category of Mia Farrow."
Jennifer reports greater progress offscreen. First husband Tom Bleecker, she now admits, "put me down a lot." Their breakup, she says frankly, was precipitated by an extramarital affair she had with an older, married man, a successful writer-actor she won't name. "He came along and made me feel valuable," she says, but he stayed married. In 1982, after a three-year courtship, she married a former RAF pilot, Peter Chittell, 39, a man to whom her father gave his approval. "He was my dad's secretary," says Jennifer. "He handled all the household stuff and anything to do with cars [the family owned four at the time]." After the marriage, Blake made Chittell the transportation coordinator on all his films. Jennifer and Peter now share a three-bedroom white stucco Malibu home, down the road from Dad and Julie's, with daughter Katie (now 10 and fully recovered after heart surgery), six chickens, five cats, four dogs, two parrots and a peacock. "She's a sucker for anything with a broken wing," says Andrews. Out of this crazy household that Blake Edwards will no doubt draw on one day to make a movie, Jennifer Edwards is making something more satisfying—a life.

The issue of the completion of legal proceedings in Australia is a constant concern of our Metropolitanate, one which we have at present started to actively implement. At the convocations of the Executive Board and Assembly of the Metropolitanate of Australia and New Zealand (03 to 05 September 2015) in Melbourne, the official position of the Metropolitanate of Australia and New Zealand of the Serbian Orthodox Church was formulated as such that the Metropolitanate would not initiate new proceedings or continue with procedures that were stayed until the handing down of the judgment of the Supreme Court of New South Wales and adoption of a Scheme regarding the use of the New Kalenich Monastery; except in the case of an appeal, in order to defend our court victory in the process of restoring the New Kalenich Monastery to the Serbian Orthodox Church.

Are Microsoft Store employees misleading customers about Windows RT?

That's just as you said an employee trying to make a sale. This strory is a waste of time.
10. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Trying to make a sale doesn't remove the responsibility to allow customers to make an informed decision.
15. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1236; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
How was the employee wrong exactly? That's pretty accurate to me to say "RT is nearly identical except for legacy program support".
Its technically not wrong.
18. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Legacy program (Office for example) support is a pretty big deal. If you were 'induced' to buy RT thinking you could just install your desktop version of Office and everything would be hunky-dory, I imagine you would be a bit torqued to find out that isn't exactly true.
21. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1236; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
I know legacy support is a big deal but they said rt does not have it. Therefore you'd be an idiot to go home and try to download your own Office program.Since they said it doesnt have that support? I don't understand why someone would try that. And if they didn't know what legacy programs are then they should ask or better, have already done their own research before buying a $600 product.
84. CRICKETownz (Posts: 980; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
But it's "nearly" true so he should be fine
20. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
As I said in the article, all the employee said before I questioned him was that "RT is nearly identical to Windows 8". If I hadn't questioned him, it would have been left at that, and I would have been left to believe that's all the info there was.
23. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1236; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
Well if someone says, "it's nearly identical", isn't the automatic response "well what makes it different? Plus, who doesn't do research on a $600 purchase?
I just feel like you are trying to find an issue before there even is one. Im just tired of all these articles hating on Win8/RT before it has a chance.
26. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
"Im just tired of all these articles hating on Win8/RT before it has a chance."
But it is okay to knock iOS for its 'features' (iMaps)? Or Android for its lag?
When does an OS have to be able to stand on its own and be compared against other competing offerings?

Absolutely. It's time to stop giving Microsoft a pass, or trotting out "Just wait until Windows/Windows Phone XXX is released.' They have botched this, as usual, and they continue to hold back information. "Office is installed on every Surface" is another instance of omission. Office PREVIEW is installed. Microsoft has some tough days ahead.

"But it is okay to knock iOS for its 'features' (iMaps)? Or Android for its lag?"
In a word. Yes. Because these weren't technically truth. They were the truth. There was no subjectivity about those statements, they were fact. You may not agree with what the sales person stated but what he/she stated wasn't false. Now a great sales person would explain the nuance a bit better. But in every job there are those who aren't as articulate as others. That said, let's hope these types of confusing situations are cleaned up.

Correct me if i'm wrong: Is Rt inferior to the normal windows 8? if so, what's it for?
70. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
sorry, but i got to agree with joshing4fun. It's the customer's responsibility to ask anything to the employees, and the employee's responsibility to answer sufficient enough.
saying "it's nearly identical" is a marketing strategy. It's up to the customer to ask, "what's the difference". And that sir, is what you just did. And the employee, on the other hand, answered your question. It's not their job to tell everything in a single answer.
As i see, the employee didn't mislead anyone. He just chose to give sufficient answer. And using the word "nearly" doesn't mislead anyone. It's up to that person to ask for more. If the employee mislead the customer, he should have said, "windows 8 rt is windows 8 for tablets". that would be misleading given that there's a major difference between the two.
It's your job to ask, and it's their job to give answer that would sufficed.
71. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
The attitude you are advocating, while technically 'correct', is not likely to engender good will toward the Win8 brand. Right now, MS needs all of the goodwill toward Win8 that it can get.
Protection from all of the little things that don't work outside of the store environment is one of the reasons for no-questions asked return periods in many states.
86. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
we're not talking about goodwill, we're talking about misleading a customer. and as far as i know, he didn't mislead the customer.
87. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
You aren't the customer. An average customer likely won't know about legacy s/w not running on RT tablets.
At the end of the quarter, your opinion or my opinion won't matter. If sales are in the 10s of millions, it will be a succes. If not, then Ballmer will have another fail to celebrate.

To me, thats not a good sales person. In my time in the retail jewelry business, we were very truthful and helpful. Most customers didnt know a thing about jewelry.
It was like our job was to teach them a lil bit before they left the store.
If it were me, I would said its nearly identical and went into more detail with any additional prodding from the customer.

also windows rt has restrictions to only 1 browser active in system and flash doesnt work on every site, you have to use marketplace and oh yes hardware restrictions from ms to oems.
did i mentioned that for example torrent client wil never be in microsoft little app store?
89. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
To my knowledge Flash doesnt work at all in Windows 8 using the modern ui version of IE. Desktop version works fine, as does installing something like Chrome or Firefox, but I cant seem to get Flash to come up. Youtube worked, but Youtube is designed to use alternatives to Flash when its not available.
80. hellt1M (Posts: 20; Member since: 10 Oct 2012)
you are a moron!
you are a tech person. of course you are going to notice the little unrelated details. they are sales associates told to sell. for the average person going in to buy a suface tab it IS identical to windows 8. go home. turn on windows 8. besides being able to intsall legacy apps. and a few extremely minor other things.. what was so wrong about what the employee said. when you turn on the RT it will look and feel EXACTLY like windows 8. its whats under the hood that matters and the average consumer does give a frak. the guy told you assuming you were an average apple fan boy all you needed to know. that it is nearly identical to windows 8 and cant run legacy programs. discusssion over. you are officially a moron and everyone here that agrees with you.
i will now forever avoid any article you write because i will automatically assume you own an iphone and have no brain
82. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
michael, afaik, doesn't own an iPhone, and so far most of his articles are technically and politically correct, there may be some articles which are totally out of place, like this, but to call him a moron is just plainly rude.. he's one of, if not, the best writer of PA..
but, I, too, don't agree with michael here, although they said that these two are nearly identical, which they obviously are not, the sales person is technically right, because it's a marketing strategy.. well, we can say that technically an iPad is a blown up iPod, with its own set of apps that have the same functions, but designed to make use of the screen estate. But have you ever heard of a sales person goes about saying that the two are identical?
the concept of "near" is vague, 1000 miles is near if compared to 1 light years.. So if by near the person means it is of the same UI design sans the ability to run legacy apps, then it's still correct..
if that person said that the two are THE SAME, then they are misleading.. as long as they still state that there is a difference, well, they are not misleading.. and for a person making a $600 purchase, they will obviously ask what is the difference.. because, when you are presented with the Pro version with a higher tag compared to the RT, and the sales person says that the two are only "nearly" identical, but not the same, then people will most likely ask..
83. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
As others have mentioned, I do not own an iPhone. I own a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7. My wife has an iPad and a BlackBerry. And, for a couple months earlier this year, I used an HTC Radar to get to know WP7 better.

Apple store employees are pretty honest. So are the VZW corporate store employees I have had dealings with. The corporation has an obligation to ensure that its employee representatives fairly present information about its products and services.
When the iPhone 3 (maybe 3GS, it was the model that implemented 3G data service) was first released, I had a similar experience where I was interested in the data transfer speed. In the area where I live, AT&T had not upgraded its service to 3G. I went into the store and asked if there was 3G service in my area. The response was to open up AT&T's service coverage website and the answer was there for all to see. There was no attempt to 'sell' me on the new iToy.
66. Nadr1212 (Posts: 741; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
Apple Store Employees are only Pretty honest because They know all their products are famous And very Well known so there's no point in lying
28. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
Michael, I have had the same experience at the Apple Store in SOHO on several occasions, why the double standard; a misinformed consumer is what many of these companies count on and it's how they thrive in sales.
I just came out of Best Buy near Columbus Circle and, although the Windows' in-store rep' was helpful, he seemed to be at a loss when it came to a few if my questions. To his credit, he tried.
My conclusion on Windows 8: it
it's visual appearance is ghastly;
those damn tiles are an "eye" sore;
it's confused, like your Dear Lord Tim Cook Hail Mary said it was - it's doesn't know what it wants to be, simple or complex?
it might be good for someone who's never had a computer before and has NO basis for comparison.
The bigger question is: Microsoft hasn't really had any success with their Mobile platform since Windows Mobile 2003SE and WM6/WP6, respectively (WM5/WP5 was a bust), what makes them think that the end-user is going to adopt Windows 8 (which is more like a hybrid) if their Platform has been a bust since, essentially, 2008??
I never thought I'd say this but, I would buy a Macbook Pro and it's Resolutionary Retina HD super display before I'd buy those crapppppy tiles.
39. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
"I never thought I'd say this but, I would buy a Macbook Pro and it's Resolutionary Retina HD super display before I'd buy those crapppppy tiles."
Maybe I am reading your comment too literally, but.... How is the resolutionary display of the MBPR analogous to the UI of Win8? The MBPR is an improvement on the spec of the previous edition of the MBP; Win8 according to many reviewers is a work-in-progress.
49. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
You are, it has nothing to do with their "Resolutionary" display, that was just a poke at Apple; "i" Take my shots whenever "i" Can.

The UI is UGLY! I will be sticking with Windows 7 until Windows 9 comes out. When Microsoft ditches the ugly UI of Windows 8 and returns to the desktop.
67. Deicide (Posts: 82; Member since: 02 Jul 2011)
Please tell us how it is ugly? Or are you just stupidly conservative? Even if you do not like the Live Tiles, MS is not forcing you to use it if your processor is a x86/x64 architecture. You can always stay at the desktop if you need be. You can even add the start button back. MS is not ditching the Modern UI any time soon.
56. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I don't understand the hatred that is out there for the Tiles. I like the UI of WP, and I like Windows 8. There are some things about the Win8 UI that are strange, but I love all of the keyboard shortcuts. I've been using Win8 for a few months now, and I definitely prefer the UI to iOS.
That said, the Surface is a weird tablet. I played with it again today, and the size is just strange. It's a far better notebook than it is a tablet. The Type Cover is pretty sweet though.
62. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
I'd have to sit down and really give it a good test, without a quasi-sales guy over my head. I just have to get passed those horrific Tiles which, ironically, were one of my main turn-offs with Windows Mobile two years ago. Hence, I switched to the little green guy.
With any platform, I have to know that I can tweak and be able to run programs without restrictions or conflict; I see alot of potential for incompatibility with Win8 and traditional 32-bit software (and, don't even think about hardware). There's a reason I don't run 64-bit (at the end of the day, you always have to go on a scavenger hunt for a 32-bit).
68. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
It's hideous, looks like something from an old Atari cartridge game. It's garish. The colors make it look cheap, like a toy.
58. Pdubb (Posts: 248; Member since: 08 Aug 2011)
Makes no sense how is it confused? It has two flavors in one package. It's kinda like peanut butter and jelly or Reeses peanut butter cups better yet strawberry lemonade. Mmmm strawberry lemonade!
61. Hemlocke (unregistered)
Ballmer said "No compromises," but Surface appears to be all compromises. It is like a gimped laptop withinferior hardware and aalmost no software (And the only Metro software is Office Preview, so not even the actual Office suite. ).
31. cj100570 (Posts: 204; Member since: 12 May 2009)
And the employee wasn't being misleading, it is "nearly identical". Anyone with common sense is aware that the term "nearly" means not the same.
57. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Nearly is a very dangerous word. You could say that the NBA and WNBA are "nearly identical", but that would be giving the WNBA a bit too much credit.
Fuji apples and Pink Lady apples are "nearly identical". Windows RT is the handicapped brother of Windows 8.

For the average consumer, this wouldnt be bad information. All they want on average is access to the web to check email and facebook. Also maybe type up a resume' on office or make a card on publisher. For the power user, most obviously will do their research before buying anyway thus ahead of time that they wouldnt think twice about RT
32. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
By that logic, that average user would be far better off with android or IOS tablet since they, besides offering "access to the web, check email or Facebook ", also offer an incomparably greater choice of applications.
Windows fans hypocrisy - Oh world, behold the Microsoft Surface RT, it will finally give us WINDOWS tablet!!
When the reality of that windows version is pointed out , they actually take the argument that would perfectly suit android or iOS tablet in the first place

Apart from these, I have some doubts of my own. On the Windows website, it said that Windows 8 doesn't support DVD playback and you'd have to download apps from the app store. Also some additional purchase regarding Media Player or something. What was all that about?
5. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I can confirm that Windows 8 doesn't come with a DVD player built-in. No idea why, because presumably devices running full Windows 8 would have a disk drive of some sort. There is native music playback with the music app, and video file playback too, just no DVD playback.
14. Savage (unregistered)
Okay, I figured it out. Currently, those updating from Windows 7 have the option to keep the DVD software they used previously ONLY IF they are compatible with 8. Windows Upgrade Assistant will check that for you. Vista and XP users have to download it separately.
Still its a pain. My VAIO plays Blu-ray and I don't wanna lose that when I upgrade. Itching to try something new and Metro UI looks promising.
47. MartyK (Posts: 819; Member since: 11 Apr 2012)
Thank you Michael for pointing this out..
Why didn't the Sales person say," You can't get POP3 email",
and then explain to the customer what POP3 email are.
You didn't go far enough, IMO. you should call him out on this in front of the other customers!.
bring in this PC BS to the mobile world!!
55. pongkie (Posts: 539; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
they didn't added the DVD player (software) because it only adds to the final price of the OS due to licenses. since there are windows 8 pc's that are comming out without any DVD player (hardware) they make DVD player licenses optional for those who only needs it.
4. Peter27 (Posts: 233; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
Michael I usually like your articles but i don't understand why such a big shout in here?
as tgtftw said for average consumer it is not going to make difference as apart from not being able to run legacy programs and few other bits they in fact are almost identical.
I do not understand why so many negative articles about win 8. I absolutely love to see that they trying to innovate and the live tiles, absolute clean simplicity with the fact that pro version will be able to run legacy program, is the future of computers. Of course it will take a little while until consumers gets use to it, but I really think win 8 is going to be really successful in the future.
On top of that, nobody complained when we seen Apple advert with man asking "is my brother here yet ?" I tried it numerous time with siri. The answer I got was - I dont know who your brother is.
6. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Windows 8 has some really nice things about it and some strange things. I don't necessarily have a problem with Windows RT or how it is set up, but customers need to know what they are getting. The average consumer may not understand exactly what the limitations of RT are, and it should be the Microsoft Store employees job to at least explain it better than "RT is nearly identical to Windows 8".

You were spot on with this article. While most consumers would be perfectly fine with a RT tablet, a lack of understanding what legacy apps means can really hurt Microsoft. I do believe it is the consumers responsibility to learn about what they are buying but that doesn't happen often enough.

Hey Michael can u help me with my problem here....
I am looking to buy a surface pro for my work.....It will be lot more comfortable and convenient than my laptop......and I dont have much graphics requirement too......play a few games though but mostly on my desktop......anyways i am torn between the surface pro and RT.....but then again I dont want to invest as much as $599 and crib about not buying the pro.....
Moreover is it advisable to buy surface at all now...should i wait out 1 more year to let the device mature and improve further....
I dont know i am all confused.....
11. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
If you're using it for work, and work requires any app that isn't available in the Windows Store, then RT won't work for you.
As far as what device is best, I can't really answer that because I haven't had a chance to use any Windows 8 tablets or hybrids. Windows 8 itself is pretty nice, and I can imagine it being good with a touchscreen, but I haven't been able to test any of the first gen hardware, so I can't say if you should wait or not.
13. Smart (Posts: 76; Member since: 20 Aug 2011)
thanx Michael.....
41. c1c2c3c4c (Posts: 19; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
id wait for the pro, but its heavier and a bit thicker; not by much but if the thinnest and lightest version matter to you more than legacy support then get the RT.
51. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
If I were you I would go for one of the tablets fo other brands whith Windows 8 and an Atom processor, they should be around the price of the RT ones.
I find the Surface Pro too heavy for a tablet and RT too limited for a productive OS (you can´t install applications but from whatever is in the Windows market like in iOS and the App Store).
Examples of what I´m talking about are:
Acer Iconia Tab W510
Asus VivoTab Smart
Dell Latitude 10 Tablet
Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2

HAMBLETON?- Justin Godwin takes over as the Tucker County High School baseball coach this season.
Godwin is hoping to improve a Mountain Lion program, which lost in the sectionals in 2012.
"We're just starting to get things going," Godwin said. "We've only had a few practices and everything is new for us."
Godwin, like several other schools, isn't sure what type of team he will have with the school's basketball team playing deep into the postseason.
"We're still waiting to see what type of team we will have," Godwin said. "Right now, it's just too early to tell."
Godwin does have two returning players to build around in veteran catcher Kevin McDermott and pitcher Travis Harper, who also plays in the infield.
"We have a couple more seniors coming out for the first time this year," Godwin said. "And four freshmen could be in the line for playing time."
While most of the team's outlook remains a mystery, Godwin does have a concern.
"Pitching is definitely a question mark," he said. "We're really short on arms and we have to find some players to fill that position."
Tucker County is scheduled to open the season March 22 at home against Potomac Valley Conference rival Tygarts Valley.
Along with PVC games, the Mountain Lions' non-conference slate includes Keyser, Petersburg, Philip Barbour, Southern (Md.), Trinity and Preston.

LOCKPORT – A Niagara Falls man who told police he would beat a burglary charge pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges Tuesday in Niagara County Court, as a felony charge was dismissed.
Marc Madore, 40, of 24th Street, is to be sentenced May 14 by Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas for second-degree criminal trespass and petit larceny.
The latter charge stemmed from shoplifting a beer at a 7-Eleven store on Pine Avenue in the Falls Aug. 7, which is when police also charged him with a July 22 break-in at a Buffalo Avenue residence. When he was arrested, Madore reportedly told police that not only would he beat the charges, he would "take this city down like the Twin Towers."

Doc Severinsen and His Big Band to Perform in October at The Pullo Center
Tickets are on sale now for Doc Severinsen and His Big Band's performance at Penn State York's Pullo Family Performing Arts Center (The Pullo Center) Oct. 19.
7/19/2013 —
Doc Severinsen and His Big Band will take to the stage at Penn State York's Pullo Family Performing Arts Center (The Pullo Center) on Saturday, Oct. 19, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are on sale now for $55 and $38. Tickets can be purchased at The Pullo Center Box Office, charge by phone at (717) 505-8900, or online at www.pullocenter.yk.psu.edu. Penn State York students can purchase one ticket at the box office for the special price of $19.
"Heeeeere's Johnny!" That lead-in, followed by a big band trumpet blast, was the landmark of late night television for three decades. The 'Johnny' was Johnny Carson, the announcer was Ed McMahon, and the bandleader was Doc Severinsen. Beginning in October 1962, "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" ruled the night air for 30 years and on May 22, 1992, it came to an end.
Within a week of the final telecast, Severinsen and His Big Band were on the road, and to this day, audiences across America love and respect Doc and his big band, not just because he shared their living room with them for so many years, but because of Doc's love of the Big Band repertoire. His musicianship keeps this iconic American music fresh to this day. Their repertoire includes Ellington and Basie standards, pop, jazz, ballads, big band classics and, of course, "The Tonight Show" theme.
Severinsen can still blow hard with his horn, and hit the high notes, a result of his continued commitment to the practice studio and the refinement of his craft. But as a band leader, Severinsen continues to surround himself with the best in the business, and he's only too happy to give them a turn in the spotlight.
A Grammy award winner, Severinsen has made more than 30 albums--from big band to jazz-fusion to classical. Two critically acclaimed Telarc CDs with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra showcase his multifaceted talents from Bach to ballads. "The Very Best of Doc Severinsen" reprises 15 of Doc's signature pieces. His other recordings include "Unforgettably Doc" with the Cincinnati Pops on Telarc, and the Grammy nominated "Once More With Feeling" on Amherst. He received a Grammy Award for "Best Jazz Instrumental Performance - Big Band" for his recording of "Doc Severinsen and The Tonight Show Band-Volume I."

From consoles to concert halls
With sold-out shows around the world and reputable musicians singing from its hymn sheet, videogame music has made the leap off the screen
Michael Giacchino with the Oscar he won for Up. Photograph: Mark Ralston/AFP/Getty Images
On May 23rd, audiences will take their seats in London's Hammersmith Apollo to listen to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
The first hint that this won't be a Tchaikovsky recital will be in the attire of the audience. "Cosplay" or fancy dress is encouraged, so plenty of the attendees will be dressed as characters from the Zelda game series.
For as long as there have been videogames, its music has been dismissed and mocked by gamers and non-gamers alike. For many, it's considered low-fi background music to an art-form that, at the best of times, struggles for respectability. But in recent years, things have changed.
For a start, some of the current crop of top film composers cut their teeth in games – Michael Giacchino, for example, got his big break composing for the Medal of Honor titles, which were produced by Steven Spielberg.
This work has led to a glittering career for Giacchino, including an Oscar for his score on Pixar's Up as well as working on the Star Trek reboot, The Incredibles , and television series Lost .
Another Oscar-winning film composer Hans Zimmer – who is best-known for his work on Inception , The Dark Knight and Gladiator – has gone the other way. He has lent his talents to several games, including the world-conquering Call of Duty franchise.
The popularity of videogame concerts, in which live music is sometimes accompanied by video footage of the games, is a testament to nostalgia and genuine musical craftsmanship.
This brings us back to the London Hammersmith. This is the second such Zelda -themed concert in the city, after a successful gig in 2011, and the show, in its current form, has recently toured north America.

Dave Smith, P.E.
Head, Central Work Controls Group
Los Angeles County Department of Public Works
Much has been written over the years regarding the benefits of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) to public works organizations. With the advent of the new federal GASB regulations regarding the inventorying and valuing of public works infrastructure, the need for such systems is vital. However, implementation becomes increasingly difficult as the size and complexity of the public works agency grows. The Los Angeles County Department of Public Works began using CMMS systems for flood control maintenance in the 1970s and expanded the use of this technology in 1997. The department's implementation involves one comprehensive database for inventorying, tracking, and maintaining the entire infrastructure in four areas: road maintenance, waterworks maintenance, sewer maintenance, and flood control maintenance. It should be noted that the sewer and flood control systems in Los Angeles County are separate systems. There are 89 separate jurisdictions in Los Angeles County including 88 cities and the county unincorporated area. To better understand the size of the systems involved, here are some basic statistics for the portions of Los Angeles County maintained by the department:
Road Maintenance
Waterworks Maintenance
Sewer Maintenance
Flood Control Maintenance
The above facilities represent over 600,000 facility records in the CMMS system with many more to be added as more elements of the above systems are tracked via the CMMS.
To maintain and control all of the information, the department purchased Oracle-based Maximo from MRO.com in 1996 and began a multi-year program of implementing the software on an enterprise-wide basis. Implementing this type of system for such a large organization requires considerably more time and resources than for the average municipality. The average city may have all of these types of utilities to maintain, but in quantities far smaller than that of the County of Los Angeles. The average city of four to ten square miles in size may be able to set up and input data into this type of system in six months to one year. The County of Los Angeles required several years to accomplish the same thing for the 4,000 square miles it covers.
Los Angeles County's CMMS is spread out at over 40 locations, with over 500 registered users. Communication is provided by a TCP/IP wide area network comprised of T-1, and fractional T-1 communication lines. Central server processing is provided at the department's headquarters on a large HP multiprocessor server. The current database is over 11 gigabytes in size and holds three years of data for historical comparison. The department's Information Technology Division provides communications, programming, and data processing support.
In 1999, the department put the system under the control of a newly-formed group called the Central Work Controls Group (CWCG). The CWCG acts as the owner organization for the software. Its mission is to ensure that the maintenance divisions utilize the software correctly, have adequate training, and use published standards for data entry. The CWCG also provides assistance in adding new facilities to the system, finding and correcting problems, and implementing new features and reports.
The CWCG provides future planning for the system which includes interfaces to the department's Financial System, Waterworks Billing System, Pavement Management System, State Mandated Bridge Maintenance System, Geographic Information System, and mobile data terminals.
The system performs the function of tracking most preventive maintenance routines, complaint calls, and work orders for maintenance and repair. Additionally, it tracks percentages of planned versus unplanned work and work backlogs. In the future the system will look at resource utilization to aid in determining manpower needs. The system also helps provide data for tree trimming contracts and for tracking information on sewer overflows. Addition of the flood control catch basins and road drains will allow the department to use the system to prepare catch basin cleanout contracts.
The department is in the process of reviewing the general systems operation and looking for areas where the software might be improved to better fit the public works arena. Maximo was originally conceived as a CMMS for the manufacturing industry. Features designed to make it more adaptable for the public works environment were added in the 4.0.1 version. However, other adaptations could be made to improve the fit. In an effort to determine what changes would best benefit the general public works organization, the Department of Public Works in conjunction with Optimization Resources, Inc. (ORI) has set up a website that displays the department's CMMS screens and provides an area for comment on each module in the system. The webpage is located at www.optimiz.com\feedback. ORI is hosting the site and will compile the data collected. ORI and the department encourage all public works agencies that are interested to log in and take a look at the system. The website provides areas where persons may submit comments on the system, features, and changes that are important to their public works organization. These comments will be studied by the CWCG and forwarded to MRO.com in an effort to improve the operations of the software and the general service of the department.

STOCKTON — Stockton School Board of Education held its final gathering on June 30 at The Stockton Inn, gathering with people who have supported a district that is no more today.
Voters in Stockton, Lambertville and West Amwell Township in September agreed to dissolve the existing four small school districts within its boundaries and form a single Pre-K through grade 12 South Hunterdon Regional School District.
That change took effect today, July 1, the fiscal start of new school years in New Jersey.
Stockton is the smallest public school in the state, with 31 borough and 29 School Choice students. The current schoolhouse was built in 1872 and expanded in 1884, replacing what had been an 1832 octagonal school.
On June 30 there was talk of what had been and little trepidation about what changes the new district might bring.
Some opined that Stockton residents supported the district merger because no one talked about closing Stockton School and busing students to Lambertville.
Norman Torkelson has been a Stockton Planning Board member for more than 20 years and was at the gathering with wife and Stockton school board member Diane Walker-Torkelson.
He said that borough residents through the years have answered quality-of-life surveys by listing the local school as a "cherished value."
The feeling, he said, is that, "My kids can walk to school in this cute little town, like people used to do."
Like her father before her and her children after her, Diane McDaniel graduated from Stockton School. Her husband, Rick, was Stockton school board president for 12 years and also served briefly on the South Hunterdon High board.
"It's like a family," she said. "There were seven kids in my class" and she names them all, including Nicole Claus, who is a member of the new South Hunterdon Regional Board of Education, now as a Lambertville resident.
McDaniel remembers the school hot dog sale each Friday, the second offering being Jello, red or blue.
And she remembers that students would routinely add up the proceeds of such school events, fill out the deposit slips, and walk to the bank then on Bridge Street to complete the real-life lesson.
Councilman Tim Nemeth talked about school events that are really community gatherings, such as the annual rummage sale fundraiser founded by McDaniel and still organized by parents.
"Our theme for next year is 'Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,'" said his wife, Cathleen.
"It's an awesome event," Nemeth said. "Awesome. Everyone works together."
Stockton Inn provided the space and hors d'oeuvres on June 30 at no charge and attendees purchased their own beverages. A card was signed and a group photo will be added for school history records.

I purchased Blue Dragon at its release knowing only about its creators direct ties to the Final Fantasy series. The game was not what I expected or wanted. The entire game seemed to made for young children, and as much as I tried, I just could not get into it.
Perhaps that bad experience is what kept me away from Mistwalker's other 360 RPG for so long. I finally got around to playing it and I am glad that I did. This is the game I was expecting when I purchased Blue Dragon. If you get past the modern graphics and voice acting I could easily imagine this game having been released in the PS1 days as a numbered Final Fantasy game. The graphic style feels very familiar to FFVIII and the music is so familiar it feels like it was taken directly out of FFVI, VII and VIII and put into this game.
Lost Odyssey has very simple style of turn-based gameplay. There are a few new tricks to learn, but for the most part anyone who has played many JRPGs will master the combat in no time. With so many games trying to be unique or overly-complicated, I actually found the simple style to be a nice change of pace. However, outside of a few difficult fights near the start of the story, the game is a little too easy.
The story is a pretty typical JRPG story with a few interesting twists. About half the members of your group are immortal and have been alive for a thousand years. Of course they all have amnesia - but then again, who doesn't in an RPG? In typical JRPG-fashion kings, queens and princes join your rag-tag group as well as young children that no adult is responsible enough to think that maybe we shouldn't throw these kids with no military experience into the front-lines of constant life-threatening situations.
The most interesting aspect of the story are the dreams the main protaginost Kaim has. These are actually fairly lengthy "short" stories, set to back ground music and other minor visual effects. For being a translated-to-English JRPG these are actually pretty well written and interesting to read. Just about all of them are pretty depressing and focus on the immortal characters experiencing the deaths of mortals.
The rest of the game really feels like a throw-back to RPGs of the PS1-era. Random battles are still as annoying as they were back then. Turn-based combat is still simple, but fun. And building characters skills and stats can still be fun, even if that means the occasional "grind".
Lost Odyssey also reminded me just how important music can be in games like this. I really enjoyed the game, but I realized if it wasn't for the soundtrack adding to the experience, it would not have the same effect. I didn't realize it at the time, but the same is true for the SNES/PS1 Final Fantasy games.
As much as I enjoyed the game, there were a few things that bothered me. The story was a little too cliche, but you expect that going into a JRPG. The main villian is one of the lamest I have seen though. Nothing about his comes across as a villian, his voice, character model, etc.
Also, when running through towns your character head turns to look at random things. He really focuses on them - to the point where is running full speed ahead and constantly trying to look behind him, and looks like he is about to break his neck (which by the way, would NOT kill him...), or some kind of owl. Perhaps that isn't much of a complaint, but it drove me crazy, "look forward idiot!".
Lost Odyssey fills a void for many of us who really miss the "middle-school" style of RPGs. Seems like there are a lot of throw-back to early NES/SNES style RPGs lately, but the style of RPGs during the PS1 and PS2 days seems to be dying down, making games like Losy Odyssey special.

BMW working on multi-functional Smart Key
BMW Group Research and NXP Semiconductors have developed a prototype multifunctional car key that can incorporate contactless payment, personalized access control and even functions like public transport e-ticketing. Creating new usage scenarios for future consumers, the prototype is powered by NXP's SmartMX security chip and allows drivers to perform quick, secure and convenient electronic payments using their car key.
In the future, car owners may benefit from the ease-of-use of contactless payments for transactions including shopping, paying for petrol, public transport, parking and road tolls, thereby replacing the need for cash or additional cards. By turning the car key into a personalized credit card, many additional mobility scenarios become possible... as does the danger of losing both at once!
Consumers will also be able to securely gain access to personal data and be authorized for personalized in-vehicle online services in any BMW vehicle that they own or drive. For added convenience, the personal credit card key may also be temporarily registered with other cars.
NXP's SmartMX P5CD081 series features smaller antennas than standard smart cards and can be integrated into a broad range of different form factors. The integrated dual-interface chip ensures that the credit card application complies with the highest security requirements. NXP will be demonstrating the smart key prototype at the upcoming CARTES and IDentification show in Paris in November.
In related news, Ford recently announced details if its smart key program designed to increase young driver safety by enabling parents to limit the speed of their cars.

Penn State York Students Get Ready to Dance
"For the kids," that's the mantra of more than 700 dancers and several thousand students who pull off the huge event know as Thon at Penn State, an event that has been raising money for children with cancer for more than 30 years. George Kapterian, 21, and Isaiah Miller, 19, both students at Penn State York, are heading for State College over the weekend (Feb. 17 - 19) to participate in the Thirty-fourth Annual IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, "Together We'll Prevail." Thon, as the dance marathon is affectionately known, is the largest student-run philanthropy in the country and its goal is to raise money to help fight pediatric cancer.
The dancers were selected to represent the campus based on their participation in a variety of events to raise money for Thon. Kapterian, of York, is a science major and this is his second time dancing at Thon. He is the local Thon chairperson and is looking forward to completing the 48-hour, no sitting, no sleeping event for a second time. Kapterian is confident he can complete Thon and is adamant about his reason for dancing. "Raising money for children with cancer is an amazing cause and cancer has really hit home for me because my aunt has been fighting it over the past year," said Kapterian.
Miller, of East Prospect and a nanofabrication manufacturing technology major, is taking to the Thon dance floor for the first time but shares his fellow dancer's commitment to the cause and confidence about completing the event.
Kapterian and Miller hope to still be dancing on Sunday, Feb.19, at 7 p.m. when the marathon ends. Dancers stay on their feet for 48 hours and get just five breaks, each lasting only three minutes. Kapterian is a graduate of Dallastown High School and Miller is a graduate of Eastern York High School.
So, what are the dancers doing to get prepared to stay awake and dance for 48 hours? Both Kapterian and Miller are trying to be on a regular sleeping schedule, cutting their sugar and caffeine intake, and trying to eat more healthy foods. Both have been exercising to strengthen their endurance for the long dance.. Miller boasts he?s been practicing some dance moves that will win the hearts of men, women, and children throughout Rec. Hall. Next year Thon will be take place in the larger Bryce Jordan Center.
The dancers will get support from students at Penn State York involved with Thon who have worked tirelessly to raise money and get the campus motivated for the big event. Kapterian, Miller, and a few others will be heading to University Park on Thursday. The big event gets started Friday, Feb. 17 at 7 p.m.
Last year the dancers raised more than $4.1million for the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Hershey Medical Center. More than $30 million has been raised for kids with cancer since 1973. For more information on Thon visit www.thon.org

LOCKPORT - Both drivers have been charged with vehicle and traffic violations in connection with an Aug. 24 collision between a car and a dump truck that killed a passenger in the car.
The Niagara County Sheriff's Office announced Friday that the driver of the car, Dillon J. Sherman, 19, of the City of Lockport, was charged with failure to stop while entering the roadway from a driveway and failure to yield the right of way.
His auto entered the path of an oncoming dump truck in the 6600 block of Slayton Settlement Road in the Town of Lockport. Collin A. Enzinna, 18, who was riding in the back seat of the car, was pronounced dead in Erie County Medical Center. Sherman was treated for a head injury in Eastern Niagara Hospital at Newfane; a front-seat passenger was unhurt.
The truck driver, Jason L. Albert, 35, of North Tonawanda, was charged with driving an unregistered truck with improper registration for agricultural use. The truck, which was hauling topsoil for A&K Topsoil Services of Lockport, also was overweight and lacked the proper state Department of Transportation stickers, according to the results of a joint investigation by the Sheriff's Office and the state police.
