Played with Stan Smith's then switched to Eli Nastase's which for me were the best tennis shoe I ever used. I only play in adidas tennis shoes (none of the others work for me [tried them all] as I have schlosis which impacts my bending etc. When I could no longer buy the Eli Nastase's I tried some other adidas shoes but they were just not the same. This shoe is great if you don't want to spend over $80 and if you have a high in step and wide feet. I run on air with these shoes and the are very sure footed. Your feet will thank you. I plan to buy five and store them to last the next ten years...., once six thirteen is available again. ... read more
I have bought a few pairs of these shoes (black/white and black/solar slime). I think they are the best looking barricades ever made. As is the tradition with all barricade shoes, they are like a tank. They take a beating and still stand up straight; tough outsole, probably the best. There is a lot of room in forefoot area (I have narrow feet) and they are comfortable enough. Here is the only con. I find these shoes not as flexible and comfortable as barricade 7. They are a bit on the stiff side (even after wearing them for a few months). And for those who are curious, these shoes are not micoach compatible. ... read more
Compared to the 2014 model of these shoes, I would say it runs 1/2 a size larger. The material inside of the shoes feels softer as well as the outer material since they got rid of the plastic mesh with holes that covered most of the 2014 shoe. It feels like I'm wearing running shoes when I wear them...they are very comfortable. I'm not sure if I don't make as many side to side motions or that I don't notice the stability issue compared to one reviewer...overall if a person can live with the shoe being 1/2 a size larger, I like it more than the 2014 model. ... read more
Started playing tennis 1.5 years ago. I'm on my third pair of sneakers. I have plantar fasciitis which motivated me to find the right sneaker. I had not tried Adidas yet, but after researching, I was told the Adidas sneaker had a wider toe box. I bought these and it's everything I needed. Lightweight, breathable, flexible, heel support, wide toe box, etc. love them and my feet feel better! ... read more
I have purchased team 4 recently and found I move very comfortably on the court. My serve and volley become more efficient as the acceleration and stopping of forward movement are easier. Great stuff. Edward ... read more
The shoes really fits my feet, I don't think it needs the break-in time. However, it may leave an issue of being loosen after playing a couple of matches No comments on the durability since I play tennis twice a week, but it could not be a problem because I have owned other pairs of Adidas shoes without any issues of durability. All in all, the classic model is classic. ... read more
Love the shoe, I'm usually a 9.5, got a 9.0, fit was perfect. Very comfortable, did not feel like wearing a boat or neither was it heavy, which was claimed by other reviews. But the color difference from the picture bothers me so much. I can take a normal orange shoe, but upon receiving the shoe, it was just WOW, it's this very bright neon orange with a tint of bright pink Grapefruit color..... ... read more
I've played tennis in running shoes for 11 years because tennis shoes always made me feel clumsy and lacking in agility. I have wasted money on shoes I've never worn on court because they inhibited movement. I bought these with trepidation but am absolutely delighted with them. They have the feel of running shoes but are durable enough to withstand the pounding they get on a hard court. They are very comfortable and fit true to size. I feel light and agile and don't even notice that I'm wearing them. I'm tempted to buy more now in case they ever go out of production. At last I look like a preoper tennis player! ... read more
I have to admit, I dont play tennis. But I do run and the Adidas shoes I have owned in the past are put together very well. Eventually the old running shoes become my beat up walking and errand shoes. But not this time. I treated myself to this good looking shoe and I have to say they are built like a tank. A little stiff, but no pain. I did replace the insoles on all my running shoes with an aftermarket insole and I did so with these shoes too. They look good and feel good on my feet. All I need now are the tennis lessons. ... read more

The Barricade 5 Classic is a fairly heavy and stiff shoe, but loosens up pretty quickly. The best part is - they take a serious beating in stride. After many many uses, they are just as protective and supportive as on day 1. Just like every other tennis shoe, though, the right toe goes long before the rest of the shoe is worn out. I'm still yearning for some kind of "tough-toe" technology. ... read more

Having trouble processing your sale on-line? Call or email us immediately and we will call you back as soon as the office is open.
We are here to help! If you don't see what you want on our site or you need a Carpenter to install the doors you intend to purchase Ask our advice at email@example.com
DirectDoors.com(tm) was formed during 1999 with the sole aim of allowing customers to have a one stop shop for all items relating to doors.
|Most doors delivered within 48 - 72 Hours anywhere on the UK mainland, Islands and exports by arrangement.
DirectDoors.com has it all, well almost, whether you require an interior door, exterior door, a latch, a hinge, glass, a standard size door or a special sized door and frame, JUST ASK! Our massive range includes oak, mahogany and PVC doors amongst many others.
DirectPvcWindows.com (tm) was formed during 2009 and is the next step in our business expansion.
The Directors have from the outset tried to offer the type of service which they would want, namely, quality, price, reliability and availability, with the help of our General Manager John McMillan, our Distribution Manager for the UK Robert Froude and all our staff we continue to do so.
The original company started with only 250 square feet of showroom space which doubled as a small office and had only one desk.
The business grew, or to be more precise, outgrew this space very quickly, after many alterations and movements to various locations, it has finally settled at the Edinburgh and Cambridgeshire addresses.
The showroom in Scotland has now been revamped and we now not only focus on being a web based company but a solid clicks and mortar company, this is a very positive decision for the future and we offer any customers visiting our premises the opportunity to browse on our web site in the comfort of our showroom with free use of our computer systems.
The company has also grown its manufacturing facilities from a mere 1,000 square feet, with fairly basic machinery, to the stage where it is now 25,000 square feet with offices, stock and equipment to match.
The distribution facilities are based throughout England, Scotland & Wales.
DirectDoors.com recently completed four major projects. The first project was the introduction of new computer systems, including improved broadband links. These links allow real time knowledge of stock movements and availability, providing us and our customers with up to the minute information.
The second project was a new telephone system which allows more direct dialling so you as a customer can contact the person that can best fulfil your needs.
The third but most important project was the DirectDoors.com web site itself, a full rebuild at great expense, taking 15 months to complete. It has allowed us to improve the behind the scene systems to give all our customers a much smoother and professional experience.
The fourth project was the development of our new DirectPvcWindows.com web site during 2009 and revamped during 2012 to facilitate the growth of our overall business in conjunction with the DirectDoors.com website, DirectDoors.com was created in the year 1999 but has regularly undergone major re-developments, we are now in the process of adding further "niche" product web sites to our business, this is probably the most exciting part of the business in terms of potential.
The DirectDoors.com and DirectPvcWindows.com web sites are strictly supply only and goods are delivered by us or our dedicated courier, the whole point of the site is to lower prices using electronic processed sales.
Having customers place their order on-line allows us to offer the best price and keep our staff to a minimum.
Please look at our DIY Advice pages which offer basic advice on fitting doors, however other advice is always available by email, fax, or phone. We will always continue to offer quality, price, availability and reliability.
We distribute doors, frames and fittings throughout the UK and abroad and only carry out installations within the Edinburgh and the Lothians. For further information click on Business Opportunities.

A 7-year-old boy and an 8-year-old girl are dead and their mother, Kathryn Gilliam, was transported to Duke University Hospital early Wednesday morning after apparent carbon monoxide poisoning in their Elkin home, according to Surry County emergency officials.
Surry County emergency services, Elkin Rescue Squad, Elkin Fire Department and Elkin Police Department responded to a house at 211 Elk Spur St. around 5:15 a.m. on Wednesday. The children and two animals were found dead in the front left bedroom of the home, according to John Shelton, Surry County EMS director.
Investigators believe a running generator in the house caused the carbon monoxide poisoning. The generator was found hooked up to the refrigerator in the kitchen, and is believed to have been turned on around 11 p.m. Tuesday.
The Gilliam family moved into the home Tuesday, which didn't have normal power service. Two female friends who had helped the family move into the home returned to the house Wednesday morning around 5 a.m. to find Gilliam collapsed in the hall, the two children dead in their bedroom, and the generator running in the kitchen. The generator was almost out of fuel, according to Shelton.
"The two friends that had been helping [Gilliam] move, came in and found her in the hallway, they cut the generator off, pulled her from the residence, and when we arrived on scene we resuscitated her immediately," Shelton said. "The children were brought outside and put in an EMS vehicle but they were found deceased."
Shelton said an autopsy will not be necessary for the children because the cause of death is obvious.
Gilliam is in critical condition but is stable at Duke University Hospital.
"The information that we have is that the two youth are from our school district, and so we're making our staff aware and we do have our school counselors at the elementary school and a couple of outside grief counselors in the community who are available for staff and students," said Randy Bledsoe, Superintendent of Elkin City Schools.

After about a year of Cloud Computing under my belt, analyzing trends in the market, talking with various professionals as well as customers in the space and watching our own Cloud Computing product, GoGrid, take off as a Cloud Computing leader and innovator, I feel that it is time to make some 2009 predictions for Cloud Computing. Who would have guessed that 2008 would have been "The Year of the Cloud"? I think that 2009 will be "The Year of the CLOUDS" (emphasis on multiple).
A Quick Look Back
If you look back to January 2008, the players in Cloud Computing were few are far between. Obviously, Amazon was breaking ground in establishing themselves as the front-runner at that time. But the term was too new and largely undefined. One of my first blog posts discussed some trends of grid computing, virtualization & virtualized hosting, cloud computing and "green hosting." For the most part, many of those concepts have not changed. Rather, they have evolved, grown and become more established as leading technologies for the future. As of the writing of that article, GoGrid was still in Private Beta, but with well over 2 years of development getting it ready for prime time.
Virtualization was definitely the buzzword of the beginning of 2008, mainly because it was something that people could fairly easily understand. There were several desktop virtualization products available for users to host different OS's within their own OS. As Jeff Kaplan predicted, On-Demand services started to really take off for several reasons that are applicable even today (if not more so). His number 1 reason: "Services are Recession Proof" (more about that later in my predictions). While Jeff's ideas were largely focused on SaaS, there is a lot to be said when you apply them to Cloud Computing in general.
Close to when GoGrid was launched at the end of March 2008, coincidentally(?) the search term "Cloud Computing" (according to Google Insight) really started a strong upward trend within World Wide Searches:

COLUMBIA The notion that a team coached by Steve Spurrier could win 10 games in back-to-back regular seasons while having an offense that moved the ball less effectively than half the teams in college football was once laughable.
Spurriers teams at Florida in the 1990s thrived on big offensive plays. But as he tries to break a school record by winning his 65th game at USC tonight at Clemson in the regular-season finale of his eighth year, Spurrier again does not have a dominant offense. Far from it, in fact.
In his first seven seasons, USCs national rankings in total offense were Nos. 100, 20, 77, 97, 82, 47 and 73. The Gamecocks yards per game those years: 316, 395, 372, 316, 347, 393 and 373. When they did have a strong offense, 2006 and 2010, they won, going 8-5 in 2006 and 9-5 in 2010.
But in 2011 and 2012, the Gamecocks have pushed their program to new heights despite lacking a prolific offense. This season, USC ranks No. 94 with 365.9 yards per game. Yet the Gamecocks are 9-2 and can still equal last seasons program-best 11-2 record.
Tonight, USC likely will need major contributions from its offense in order to keep pace with Clemsons offense, one of the countrys most productive.
I think (Clemson is) a lot better offense than they were last year at this time, Spurrier said. Our offense needs to play better. We were pretty ugly the last game, didnt block very well. If were going to have a chance, we have to play some offense.
USCs last game was a 24-7 win over Wofford in which the Gamecocks gained just 293 yards. Their two offensive touchdowns came on drives of 34 and 51 yards. USC has 41 offensive touchdowns this season. The average length of those drives: 59.8 yards. Because of defense and special teams, eight of those drives covered 40 yards or fewer.
USC has also scored four defensive touchdowns and one on special teams this season. That, along with short offensive touchdown drives, explains why USC ranks No. 41 nationally in points per game, with 31.8. USC was No. 42 last season (30.1 points per game).
While defense has undoubtedly been USCs strong point since the start of 2011, the offense showed up in some big spots.
Tonight will be USCs fourth game this season against a team currently ranked in the top 25. USCs offense flopped at No. 6 Florida and No. 8 LSU, gaining 191 and 211 yards, its two lowest outputs of the season, while losing 44-11 and 23-21. But those are also the two best defenses USC has played this season.
Clemsons defense is the worst among USCs four ranked opponents in 2012. No. 3 Georgias defense is third in that group, and currently No. 20 nationally. The Gamecocks gained 392 yards in a 35-7 win over the Bulldogs, with offensive touchdown drives of 63, 69, 76 and 89 yards.
One of USCs best offensive showings of the past two seasons came in last years 34-13 win over Clemson. USC out-gained the Tigers 420-153. It was the third-most yards USC gained against a Bowl Subdivision opponent in 2011.
Quarterback Connor Shaw was brilliant that night, just as he was against Georgia this year. Against the Tigers, Shaw threw for 210 yards and ran for 107. He hung 162 passing yards on Georgia and 78 rushing. But Shaw has nursed a sprained left foot since Oct. 27. If he plays, it could limit his mobility tonight, detracting significantly from one of his best assets.
He stamped his name on USC history with last seasons Clemson game. Tonight, he could improve to 2-0 against the Tigers, equaling the career win totals of Stephen Garcia and Steve Taneyhill. Even Todd Ellis won just once against Clemson (1-1-1).
Only Tommy Suggs went 3-0 against the Tigers, from 1968-70, USCs last three-game winning streak in the series before its current one. If Shaw makes it four straight USC wins for the first time in 58 years, maybe he will change Spurriers perception of his own offense.
Were not a high-powered offense at all, Spurrier said. Were just sort of a slug-it-out type bunch right now that can make a few yards here and a few yards there.

When you get your project up on KS let me know and I'll check it out. The rest of your post I'm not going to waste my time with.

-Oh, my project will be awhile (but there are screenshots I have posted - Real ones- If you care to find them in my posts). I guess the difference is that I am not a profesional and am not biting off more than I can chew. I am shooting for a 2D RPG (not MMO) since I am self taught and have an actual Job which demands much of my time. The last thing I want to do is opverpromise, underdevelop , take peoples money and change things and possibly have nothing to show at the end.
-I will not place my project on KS until I know I can finish it in the manner promised.
Right now I am working with an Artist (since my Art is pretty crappy and is 'placeholder') to redo enough of the assets to make a fully functional demo. Then I have to decide (based on how long the Demo takes) whether in fact it can be finished and is worth it to do so.
-But see, this isnt about me (really) or anyone else for that matter. I know my limits (most do) and will not take a dime until I am sure I can manifest what is promised and in a quality way. At this point I am unsure if its even possible and I have a "good name" that I want to keep and do not qwant to be associated with scams and such.
-Jason is an Armchair Developer with less knowledge than myself- He just took 90 thousand dollars and then changed the rules- I am an "armchair developer" who is going to be looking at a FAR Lower amount , with rules which will not change and a project I have the capabilities to complete- If I am have the slightest hesitation that I am unable to do what I say- I will not be on KS or look for any other funding and will just use this experience to "learn".
Even my "Artist" is a local Tatoo Artist who has never worked in game development (but is damn good) and is currently learning to animate sprites. We are total amatures and self taught and may not have the capabilities to produce anything worth buying- But we are alsp honest with ourselves and know our limits.
EDIT: The quickest I imagine we will have a Demo will be 6 months or so. I will keep you posted though. =)
Well when you get something I'd love to check it out. Again the rest I don't agree with you but I make it a practice not to argue opinions with someone that is emotional about a subject because nothing productive will come of it.

I/We were merely pointing out lies and inconsistincies. The fact is a certain thing was promised before taking a dime, now that more money has been recieved (than originally asked for) he/they have changed everything. IMHO a "contract" of sorts happened upon the first dime recieved.
-The rest was just pretty funny (like the threats and such)
-Absoulutley I will be pimping the Hell out of my game if and when I know its really feasable. Right now it looks terrible =P
But yes, we can agree to disagree. frankly I hope this all works out (for the people who put up money like yourself)- Its a cool idea. A modern UO would be a blessing since I have all but given up on MMOs these days. =/

When I begin asking for Money I expect srutiny, questions and people to dig into my past and review statements I have made. This is what has been done with gred Monger and jason Appleton. He isnt funding this himself but is asking for miney, has lied and exagerated his past and acted childish when called out on these things.
He has made promises, collected money and changed the rules mid-game.
Again, this isnt about me- My point in even bringing this up was the "armchair developer who thinks they are an expert on everything" statement (which is exactly what Appleton is)
He went from wanting to make an Ipod game to a full fledged 3D MMO to asking stupid questions on the Unity forum to collecting peoples money withing a very short amount of time- Then he ggot emotional when called out and threatened to sue folks (using KS Money) and then flat out threatened a Poster on this board.
-I am saying it now- There will be no game by April and alot of pissed off people who were burned... Look at MO (who actually sold stock rather than beg for cash- Stock which had the potential to gain in value) they had a far more experienced team, more money and far more time- You are being promised a UO inspired MMO which is going to be out in a few Months without so much as a video and a few screenshots of purchased assets.
People have a right to know.
Again, I am not a proffesional dev, I am not begging for your cash and I am not even sure its possible to make a fully functioning game (that works and is fun to play) - I am not making promised nor claiming a thing other than the fact that I am attempting to do something and I will be damn sure it can be done before asking for any money.
-If every KS project had this philosophy there would be far more people willing to pitch in and help developers.
This isnt about me, or anyone else but the one who has already broke promises after getting money, and seems like a scam artist and has been caught in lies, misrepresentaion and half truth. I fully EXPECT my (or anyones) words, internet postings and past to be scrutinized once asking to fund a game with other peoples money.
-You dont see the shadyness in anything listed? Fine. Others do and we have the right to discuss these things and warn others.
EDIT- I am trying to multi-task here and that post was a bit rambling.
I would never start a KS project in order to "make my game"- I guess my point is that "my game" (if and when I EVER reach that point) will be already "made" for the most part but with "placeholder" grahics and assets. Kickstarter would be used to replace those "placeholders" with assets of far superior quality, add music, better sounds and such... As someone (like myself and jason Appleton) who has Zero experience with game development, I do not want to "rip people" off. I do not want to make "promises" which I cannot fulfill nor do I want to bite off more than I can chew.
-Going from no experience to a full fledged MMORPG is something. But his "past" is out there, his postings out there, his lies are out there, his "changing of the rules" AFTER taking money IS OUT THERE. These things ALONG with no experience should be closely examined. He reminds me of a bad used car Salesmen. He has duped people out of almost 100K already selling something which (as he already has admitted) isnt going to be what he has said. he has doubled land parcels (effectivly making everyones parcel's worth half) and God only knows what he is going to do next. And this hurts everyone who ever hopes to use KS for additional funding.

It's just a chance for us to test some of our systems and Stress test our servers nothing more and nothing less.
Once we see how the Alpha goes we will be figuring out the Beta date then depending how that goes then we will decide on a Launch date. More then likely the release date is still a year away or possibly even more but we will be doing our best to get the game released as soon as possible.
No where did we ever say that the Game would be released in April!

-My Bad for mistyping and misunderstanding.
I appologize for also spreading bad information- I had thought I had read that somewhere but upon looking closer I was mistaken (and badly, at that)
-That sounds much more realistic and honestly was one of my issues. I was thinking (again, mistakenly so-) that this was being rolled out in April. From drawing board to full fledged MMO in a few months.
Again, my mistake. For that I am sorry.

This is a very common mistake I've seen Jac, in that, too many people are putting out far too many assumptions or mixed "facts" about things I've said for others to read and assume are accurate and then continue perpetuating these "facts" until someone finally looks for themselves.
I honestly lost count of how many mis-interpreted "facts" have been used in various posts focused on bashing the game or myself that are completely un-true or very twisted versions.
The way I see it, there isn't much reason for a great deal of the "hate" and the only way people can justify blowing up with long winded rants is to support it with things made up or twisted around and then keep repeating it in every possible thread.
My team is on task day and night to make progress on the game. I think something a lot of people assume as well is that this game will be like Wow or other AAA titles built with multi million dollar budgets. If I had access to those resources, I guarantee I'd develop the next big MMO because I know what players want because I am one and have been one for decades. I'm attempting to show the big players in the industry that there is still demand for what we are building and that the community will support it. We aren't trying to build the next big MMO with our small budget. We are building something with the key elements needed to enjoy the features many of us have grown to love and appreciate in an MMO.
I'm honestly looking forward to the time when the community here is able to see all we are doing and rather than constantly trying to bash me or the game, they will see that not only were they wrong about so much of what they have tried so hard to ear down, but that they will be as vocal about our successes as they have been our assumed faults.
As many have seen, I can get pretty fired up, but I also don't hold grudges. Someday, I do believe the community here will come together and appreciate what we have done. At least I hope.

Do not take me wrong I am not saying you should not write here due to what you said just perhaps there is a good reason for you to return. What you have outlined in you website about how the game will be is really good and the kind of game I would love to play since I have always prefered the economical aspect of games such as gather, farming and craft. If your idea is finally developed and the game is launched you will succeed and all this you are now passing through will be forgotten with the shine of your winning.
If things can remain civil, I'll make myself available in case legitamate questions pop up.
It's when someone is asking a loaded question under a sea of speculative nonsense that I simply can't stomach.
If everyone plays nice, I'll be available.

In order to keep the flow of information rolling I would also like to add the following article to the list of resources here:
Yes we have made some mistakes in the past. We aren't perfect and we will make mistakes. But I would like to think that we can start put some of the past behind us and really start working toward the future.
This morning I was looking up some Youtube videos about Greed Monger and I came across some comments on one suggesting that I was actually a Fake ID of Jason's If the person who made those suggestions are on these forums I would like to assure you that that is compeletly false.
Ok So who exactly is James Proctor? Well I'm a 28 year old Gamer from Portland, Maine. When I was 19 or 20 I was going through some issues in my life and I wanted nothing more then to create a Virtual World I could get lost in. I started Researching MMOs and looking into what I would need to Know in order to create my own. I started Learning C++ and C#. My Journey would also take me to Python, Java, JavaScript, and other languages. I continued to study Programming while also forming an idea for my "Perfect" MMO.
Over the years I have had the chance to meet and work with many professionals in the Gaming industry some of which I still have contact with to this day. They include employees from Sony as well as freelancers working on the BioShock games and include every aspect of Game Development from art, to music, to Programming, to Design.
Fast forward to October of 2012... In October I was in between personal projects using Unity3D. I was on the forums browsing through what other indie developers were working on trying to come up with a small scale project I could start working on. I came across a Post by a Guy with the Forum name ElectricCrow. The post really jumped out at me because alot of the ideas listed for it were the ideas I had hidden away in my Game Design Document for my Perfect MMO. I contacted ElectricCrow (Jason) and we started talking. Soon after that I found my self on the team helping to get things setup and ready for the KickStarter Campaign.
Jason gave me my first task which was to take the assets he had and create a little town with some furnished houses he could use for the KickStarter Video. I added many things to that scene both from a world building perspective and from a Programming Persepective. Many of which were never seen in that video. I created a Deer AI and Wolf AI. The Wolf AI had needs modeled after the AI from the Sims games. They needed to Sleep, to Eat, When their hunger got to low they would go hunt the deer to increase their hunger... Little small things yet things that added life to the world were added that were never shown in the video. I spent a good bit of time working on that demo.
Well that's pretty much all about me. Now I find my self living my dream as the Lead Programmer for Greed Monger just as much a real person as the day I entered this world. Below is also a link to my personal Facebook page. I have most everything private on it but you should be able to see the date I joined which was January 31st 2009 A LONG time before Greed Monger came to be. You will see that I was a member of the Class of 2004 at Deering High School here in Portland Maine. Also feel free to add me if your on facebook as well! - http://www.facebook.com/JamesProctor2011

Hello Jason, and other members of his team that post here. i wont waste any time: What Jason is doing with "Greed Monger" is something that i could see myself doing. Why? Because the ability to lead people, be creative, communicate, delegate, and manage talent is not something everyone can do well. Im sure you might be thinking youve heard this kind of statement before by people supporting "Greed Monger", but i can assure you i am not a fanboy or a naysayer.
I think that if i had the resources ( money and connections) i would aim to make an mmo and bring together some great rising minds to help me make it a reality. The way i see it is, a great idea for an mmo and real design elements and fun systems are just as important as the programmer that codes it, or an artist that can bring it to life.
Some of us excel and succeed as communicators, mediators, creators, managers, and so on. The point im trying to make is simple, "Times have changed, a guy with a great idea is now just as important as a guy with technical skills. The project that succeeds is not the one made up of 30 yr industry pros only, its the project thats listens to customers, adapts with time, and maintains a solid buisness model"
I think a lot of the bad blood here has to do with people saying to themselves "What gives him the right? what makes him so special, why should he get to make the mmo of his dreams? why? just becuase hes rich and has all these connections means he can get away with this?" this type of thinking is based on personal emotions, and doesnt make for a real valid debate basis.
I wasnt able to hook into the kickstarter for "Greed Monger" for personal finance reasons at the time, but i sure was considering helping out. In the end all i have to say is this: "Surrounded by professionals in a working environment "The guy that knows how to talk to people" can become even more valuable than who hes talking to."
PS. a few questions now that you guys are here:
1. Will you choose to involve testers as early on into the project as possible to ensure you get the most out of the alpha/beta stages
2. will your buisness model and pay options reflect the expected longevity of your title? if yes, how so?
3. what will you guys be doing to maximize customer and tester feedback? do you have faith that your forum Mods are good enough/ enough of them currently to give you the real collection of data you need?
4. what is the current state of your systems designs? even if only on paper, if you could give a %, what is the current % completion would you estimate of all the systems and important mechanics?
5. If nothing really stands in your way "technically: server tech, art, assets, engine" then what ARE your primary focus' current or down the line?
Thanks for your time,

#1. Yes, we will be letting in trickles of KS Backers as early as possible to help us with testing.
#2. Yes, at launch we will have 6,000 Player Parcels of Land spoken for by approx 1,500 people. So, provided we do what we plan to do in the development of the game, we expect demand for land parcels to be high which will of course be cause for a secondary market of which we will make 15% of the final sales of such parcels as a fee for transferring permissions.
We are looking at some other options as well that will be discussed openly once we are further in development.
#3. We wont just be relying on forum discussions for feedback. We will have means in place for private communication with our testers.
#4. We have people working on many elements of the game. Some are focused solely on completing the transition into Hero while others are building the world and developing the systems for the game either using already imported assets or using placeholders. Due to what comes stock in Hero, I'd say we are already further along than we were originally using Unity. At the same time, with Hero, we are finding many new options unfold as we further implement the systems we had in Unity and are furthering our development into those directions as well.
#5. I'm not sure what you're asking. What is our primary focus down the line? In regards to what?

Almost forty years have passed since we left the house where I lived from the age of four, and the simple truth is that not many memories have remained. To my regret, the memories of even those who were closest to me have begun to fade. I sit and try to concentrate and retrieve from my memory what I can write, even just a few lines.
So, I decided to describe the escape from our home at the beginning of the war, because I will never forget this event until the day I die.
In June 1941, the Germans started bombing Raflovka. Of course, there was a great panic. People began to escape without knowing where to go. We hoped that within a week or two, the war would be over and we would be able to return home.
My brother, Hillel and my sister, Yentl went to Sereni. We decided that the rest of the family would leave the house and we would meet later in Sereni. So, the next day we packed just the necessities for a week or two and went to a freight train that was designated for people who wanted to escape in order to save their lives. My mother, zl, suddenly remembered that she wanted to take her manual sewing machine and returned to the house. When she arrived home she saw that the house had been broken into, the chickens screeching and running wild, the cow wandering around and mooing; she thought that even the animals felt a great disaster coming. She came back to the train and decided that she couldn't leave the house. We all went home.
A day later, my father, Dimentin, and, also I think Mottel Maniuk and several other Jews whose names I don't remember, who all worked in Reifotrebsviez, took a horse and wagon to travel to Rokitno in order to hand over the proceeds of the last few days to their supervisors. After I started to cry over the situation, as I mentioned above my brother and sister had already left. Now, my father will leave and the rest of the family will remain at home? My father comforted me and said, Come along with me. I took some pictures and my memory book, which was the most important thing to me at that time and actually the only memento that was to remain. I travelled with my father. The farewell from the rest of the family was difficult. No one imagined in his darkest dreams that this would be our final separation. When we reached Smolarnia, we suddenly heard shouts. It was my brother, Yankele, zl, who had run a long distance from our house to bring my father his winter coat (peltzl).
This scene hasn't left me all my life. My heart almost exploded as if to predict that we would never see each other again. A dark prophesy that was realized. This was the last time we saw each other. What was their destiny? Everyone knows.

It was, apparently, the end of 1943.
I saw Fania for the first time in the forest, on a winter morning when I was 10-11, a thin, helpless girl.
I was in the forest neglected and dressed in rags. I sat under a tree bundled up, a package of rags. We had fled Haleket another forest, fearing an invasion of Ukrainians and Germans.
I was alone because none of those who fled and continued on their way wanted to take me along. All my requests and pleas didn't help. And then, one cold morning, the unbelievable happened. Someone who looked like an angel wearing warm, pretty clothes like a non-Jew bent over and spoke to me in a soft, gentle voice.
I couldn't believe it. Could it be a dream or was it real. And it was real. Fania asked me about my family and from my replies, she understood that I was left alone. From that moment until today, I am Fania's child.
Fania gathered me in her arms, warmed me up and took me to a non-Jewish family Shtundists who would care for me. [Translator's note: the Shtundists were a small Protestant, evangelical group who often helped and hid Jews. The name comes from the German for hour shtunde as they prayed every hour.] These gentiles believed that Fania was a saint and fulfilled all her requests. From that moment, also I believed that Fania might be an angel. She was so good and pretty.
I stayed with the Shtundist family. I daydreamed and asked when Fania would come. She didn't disappoint. A smiling Fania would appear almost every Sunday.
I wondered what would become of me ! Fania didn't leave time for these thoughts. She came and took me to Raflovka.
It was towards the end of the war. Holocaust, destruction but also thoughts of we remained alive.
In Raflovka, Fania took me to a large house that was a pharmacy. Already there were Yaakov Bass zl, his son David zl and his daughter Rivka. Yaakov treated me as a daughter, and David and Rivka as a sibling.
The house was full of people: Partisans who returned from the forests, officers from the Red Army, people whom Yaakov took in and children who Fania found in the forests. We were one big family of survivors.
The school also began and we studied diligently. But we hadn't yet reached full safety. Wanderings continued. We heard rumors that many Jews were organizing into groups attempting to reach Eretz Yisrael. That was our objective, to flee from the country that had murdered our family and to make aliya to Eretz Yisrael.
Most of us travelled to Poland under false names and passports; everything was for the longed for aim, to go home to Eretz Yisrael. We pretended to be Greeks or Tatarim. We didn't speak a word of Russian.
During this whole time, we were together Fania, myself and the Bass family. When we reached Lublin, we heard about the death camp Maidenik. We travelled on to Bucharest in Romania. It was 1945, towards the end of the World War. In Romania, the children including Rivka and myself, were placed in various orphanages.
Fania, David and Yaakov continued to Italy. Rivka and I were among the happy ones who received certificates and we went to Eretz Yisrael at the end of 1945. Although we went different ways, after two years, also Fania, David and Yaakov arrived.
We had an emotional reunion yet I was happy in my place, as I was already living in Kibbutz Dafna. Since then, the home of Fania and Yaakov Bass, who had married, was again my home and the good, strong bond between us remained to this day. I will always consider Fania as a warm, loving mother and she introduces me as her daughter.
Also, my choice of work as a kindergarten teacher was influenced by Fania, because I wanted to be like her. Even my children feel close to her. They always smile when they meet her.
I can't write about the Bass family without mentioning David, zl, who was killed in the War of Independence. In my eyes and heart, he was like a big brother, always well dressed, tall, smiling, handsome and good-hearted. He would tell me the secrets of his many loves. Everyone loved him and I was so proud that he confided in me. What a pity he died and how painful our relationship ended.
There are so many memories, I could write forever.

A week before the liquidation of the Jews in the Raflovka ghetto, there was a rumor that pits were being dug for us. Police surrounded the town and only very few succeeded in leaving the ghetto. The rest of the Jews tried to prepare a hiding place for themselves in the ghetto. Many families didn't want to split up and decided that either they all would survive or none at all.
On Friday evening, before the Black Sabbath, my brother Shmaya told us that he prepared a hideout in the cellar. My family my mother Raizl daughter of David Kaufman, my father Moshe and my brothers Shmaya and Ben-Zion entered the hiding place. We were joined by the Konshe Breznik family and Moussia son of Aaron Breznik. Other than a blanket and a pail of water, we were unable to fit in anything else.
We entered a tiny potato storeroom. My brother closed the opening with boards and covered it with dirt. We spent the night in this crowded place.
On Shabbat morning, Zlata Breznik who stayed outside with her sick father, reported to us on what was happening. Towards noon, we heard screams and knocks and then it was quiet.
Near midnight, my brother went out to check if the way was open, because it was clear that we couldn't stay another day in the hideout. Outside, non-Jews wandered around and they thought that my brother was one of the looters and showed him where there was more loot in the houses. When the locals left, he returned to the cellar and told us the way was clear.
We escaped through Frankl's yard, passed the train tracks and walked through the forests to Ojin, where Esther and Rahel Breznik were. At dawn, we reached the Polish village Halli. A shepherd told us that an hour before the head of the village handed over Shaindel Dichter (Weingarten) and her son to the Germans. My father started to walk and we continued to talk to the shepherd. Within a few minutes, my father disappeared. After a short search, because we couldn't shout, we continued walking assuming that he would reach Ojin. We found Esther and Rahel in Ozin and several more Jews joined us. We stayed in the forest near Ojin for five weeks. After some time, the lad Sender Lissak, came and told us that my father was in the forest near Halli; his legs were swollen and he couldn't reach us. We planned that the next day we would go and bring him. But, that same day we heard that the Germans caught the whole group sleeping by the campfire, and among them my father zl, and killed all of them.
During our stay in the Ojin forest, we stole potatoes from the fields and baked them before nightfall so that no one would see the flames or the smoke. That was all we had to eat.
From time to time, we were visited by Jews who were hiding with non-Jews. We were visited twice by Rivka Shnerer, wife of the school principal, and her daughter, the wife of Feibush Portnoy, with her daughter. Later they were murdered.
One night, three armed Ukrainian robbers appeared and wanted to take my brother to help them with their thievery. After many entreaties from my mother and me, we were able to persuade them not to take him.
Before morning, the thieves returned with the booty. They brought us food and one of them came back with a new coat and gave me his old one, which I used all during the first winter.
Another night, my brother went with another three young men, refugees from Poland, to a meeting with the head of the village to hear the news and get some food. They were ambushed and didn't return.
Early the next morning, a Jewish girl who worked as a seamstress in the town, came and told us that we must leave the area immediately, and so we did. We returned several days later to find out what happened to the young men. It was raining that night and we were totally soaked to our bones. At midnight, we entered a forester's abandoned barn and slept there. In the middle of the night, we heard sounds of wagons travelling on the path that crossed the forest and connected the Polish village with the Ukrainian village of Osnitza. We left the barn and fled to the forest. When it was quiet, we made a fire to dry off. My Aunt Esther and I returned to the barn to look for a blanket and scarf that she lost while fleeing. Haim Majluzak took a vessel and went to get water. The vessel broke and he immediately returned to the group. We stood talking at the entrance to the barn when suddenly we heard shots that came from the forest. We started to run. A bullet hit Esther and she was killed.
I kept running past the path. The forest was dense and full of high Paprutz bushes. I stopped and sat down in the bushes. Later, I learned that they searched for another body because they thought I had been killed.
I was left alone in the forest without knowing which way to go. After a few hours, I walked in the daylight to the village of Osnitza. There was a young man there who was connected to the Partisans; my brother had been in touch with him. He was very frightened when he saw me because they had searched for us in the village the night before. He gave me a piece of bread and showed me the way to go, as if that was the direction some of the young men from my group had gone. Of course, it was a lie and I knew it but I walked in that direction from a lack of choice. The earth was muddy and the rain drizzled continuously. I picked some forest plants that grew there. I met shepherds and sat around their campfire. They left and I stayed the night there all alone, covered with a blanket and cried.
Suddenly I heard a noise in the branches of the tree. I didn't go back. I decided to remain, no matter what happened. Then Haim Majlutzk appeared and told me that when the group was on the way to the barn, they heard gunshots and hid behind a tree and saw everything that happened. They were Ukrainian policemen. They killed Moussia Breznik on the spot and wounded Emi Bargel. Afterwards, they took everyone in carts to Raflovka and executed them in public. We were told that they were buried in the park yard.
Haim decided to move to a different area, close to Politz, a Ukrainian village where he had acquaintances.
We walked through the fields after the harvest and the thorns pricked my legs, which were now shoeless. On one leg, I had a serious sore with pus. We reached the Ukrainian village to ask someone to hide us for two-three days until the sore opened. We went into one house and in the entrance, my head touched the oil lamp that was hanging from the ceiling, and the glass broke. There was a commotion, and we escaped as fast as we could. We entered another house and the non-Jew agreed to hide us in his attic. After a few days, the sore opened. The owner came to tell us we must leave, as the people in the village already knew we were there.
At dawn, we left the place and again trod through the fields to the forest. We learned later that while we were still a short distance from the farmer's house, the Germans or police came to the house and severely beat him.
While on the road, we met Yidel Bart and Sonia Finklestein and their son, Penhas Majlotzk. We agreed to find a place to settle in the forest before winter and to build a bodke [shack]. We built a bodke like a doghouse, just a little larger. The opening for entering and leaving was also the opening for the smoke that came from the always burning campfire to disperse.
The forest was situated between the Polish village of Tor and the Ukrainian village of Politz. A friend of my grandfather, David Breznik, lived in Politz. When he heard that I had survived, he asked that I come and he would help me. He gave me a nightshirt that I used as a dress and postuli instead of shoes, and also some food. From time to time, I would visit him to receive potatoes and a loaf of bread.
Around Christmas, the group decided to go to Politz under the assumption that the gentiles were a little good-hearted at this time and might agree to hide us for a week so we could warm up and strengthen ourselves. And that's what happened.
Each one went to his gentile and I went to Felmer. During the day, I stayed in the barn, covered with straw and at night, I slept in the house.
On the third night, when I came to the house, Felmer told me that the Germans had visited him that morning. They were looking for pork in the barn and searched with a pitchfork in the straw where I hid but didn't find me. That means, he said, that it was G-d's way of telling him to let me stay until after Christmas.
The next night things changed. Felmer's son told me there was a rumor the Germans were looking for young people to work in Germany. Therefore, I must leave and the benefactors of the others in the group already knew about it.
The next morning we left. Everything around us was covered with snow. The snow continued to fall without stopping. We couldn't see any paths because the gentiles hadn't walked to work in the forest before the holiday. We walked and walked and went astray. With every step I took, my legs sunk above my knees into the snow. My coat and dress were wet and ice formed at the edges. The ice rubbed the exposed skin of my legs. Finally, I was unable to walk anymore and sat in the snow telling the others to continue without me. They tried to persuade me, unsuccessfully, to continue with them but I couldn't. Suddenly, a Ukrainian boy appeared from nowhere, dressed well (not like the farmers) and asked what was happening. We explained the situation to him and he started walking and told me to follow him and to put my foot into each hole his shoe made in the snow. In this fashion, he led us to our bodke and made a fire for us.
We didn't go to Politz, since the Ukrainians had started killing the Poles. They claimed that the lands belonged to them and every night the Polish residents from all the villages gathered in the central village where there was a civil guard.
A Polish woman from the village of Tor, who came to the village of Virka, met Sara Ems (Burko) zl and told her about me. Sara persuaded the gentile she was staying with, Father Marion (he was called that because he helped the Jews) also to take me in. And Marion agreed.
The Polish woman from Tor came to the forest to take me and bring me to Marion. According to the description of Sara and the Polish woman, I was a skeleton, skin and bones, with no hair on my head, yellow from many months of sitting by the campfire. I hadn't bathed. I looked like a cloth colored black, grey and yellow. They put me in a tub and scrubbed me. They fainted from the smells.
Weba Breznik brought me a skirt, Sara knit me a blouse and a girl from the village, who was thought to be Jewish, sewed me clothes and underwear. Thus, I was dressed except for shoes. After a few weeks, my hair grew, I put some flesh on my bones and began to look like a person. I learned how to knit and started to knit in homes in return for food and a bed to sleep in.
One Shabbat towards evening, while I was staying with a Polish family, everyone dispersed. Only a Polish girl of my age and her friend from the next village remained. The friend told me that a girl from Setpen named Idel was in the village. He told me that the following week he would bring her to meet me. While we were speaking, we heard gunfire and screams. We went outside. The village was burning. Cows, horses and dogs ran wild. We hid in the crops in a nearby field then ran deeper into the fields because there was a danger that they would set fire to the crops. After a few hours, everything was quiet. We left the field and started to run to Halli. There was a large underground shelter there. When we reached the shelter, we saw that hundreds of people were planning to go to Raflovka and from there to Germany. I didn't know what to do. The boy and girl suggested that I join them as if I was a sister of one of them but they first returned to the village to take a cow, horse, etc. Of course, I didn't go with them. I stayed there with no idea what to do. It seems that the head of the village recognized me and approached me. He gave me a note for his friends in a village near Raflovka (I don't remember the name) asking them to let me stay the night with them. He told me that in the morning I should try to meet other Jews and so I did.
In the morning, I met Weba Breznik, Sara Ems (Burko) and Reuven Portnoy. Weba told me to wait at night at the intersection in the forest (Die Fir Vegelach- The Four Roads) and he would come to meet me. Sara and I lay there all night but Weba didn't arrive.
The next day there was no choice but to go to Raflovka. It was in 1943. There were many refugees in the town. We didn't stand out. Sara went to a neighbor who had helped us escape from the ghetto and I wandered around the marketplace. I met two girls and a boy, Jews, and we stayed together. In the market, an old Pole recognized me and said that at the edge of the village, past the Jewish school, a group was forming to go into the forests where the Partisans were in control. We went there and joined the group. They rode in wagons and we ran after them 18 kilometers until we reached the village.
There was a large camp of Jews from Vladimertz in the village where I met a relative, Valla Breznik and his son Moussia. He wasn't too happy to see me fearing that I would become a bother to him. But, we didn't stay there very long. There was an attack of bulbubtzim and the Jews fled from there to the area of Dobjin, which was 35 kilometers from the previous village. In the forest near Dobjin, there were also Poles. There, I met a relative, Lipka and 3 children, from the area of Dombrowitz. I stayed with in her budke. In the next budke, was a Polish family. I knitted for her in return for food.
Meanwhile, I met another relative whom I had never met before they were from the area of Dombrowitz. They were the family of Itzhak Feigelshtein and the family Kurtzman. When we had to leave that place and continue on, they persuaded me to join them. I stayed with them. I don't know the distance to Nigovishtz, but I remember that we walked many days until we reached it. On the way, we stole potatoes from the fields and sometimes we went into the villages to ask for food. I also met Gershon Gruber and Yosef Breznik. Gershon told me that as soon as he would find a permanent place, he would come and get me and so he did.
In Nigovishtz, we found work knitting for a partisan who had many children, boys and girls. We knitted sweaters, skirts, pants, gloves, socks and scarves in return for food.
On Yom Kippur, we were in Nigovishtz. I will never forget the prayer Kol Nidrei chanted by Yitzhak Feigelshtein from Dombrowitz. Everyone cried and even the leaves on the trees trembled from his emotional voice and his prayer.
Meanwhile Gershon Gruber arrived and took me to Simhovitz. There were Partisans there and we got a room. We were a group of 7 people. Yitzhak Meir Zuke, Yosef Breznik, Gershon Gruber, a refugee from Poland, Sara Uzenfeld (the daughter of the shohet from Olizarka) and Polk Birenbaum from Chelm (today the lawyer, Shraga Biran in Jerusalem).
We spent part of the winter there. The Germans began to retreat. There was heavy bombing in the area. We started to return to our area and walked many kilometers in the cold and snow while starving. I must note that the most humane person was Gershon Gruber. He always managed to be the last in order to see that no one was left behind. On the way, we sometimes stayed in a village for a week or two or more. When we stayed a longer time, Sara and I found work knitting and we received wheat in return. We ground the wheat in a hand mill (jurna). Sara baked bread that we brought to the group. Once Yossel Weisman visited us and helped us grind the wheat.
In February-March 1944, Raflovka was liberated and we returned to the town. The Germans kept bombing every night but somehow we survived.
When the Russians liberated Poland, we left Raflovka and went to Poland. We celebrated the end of the war in Lodz. From there we went through Czechia, Romania and Austria until we reached Italy. In the first camp in Mestre, Italy I met Israel soldiers from the British army. The first soldier I spoke with was Zoler from Beer Tuvia.
Since I had family in Israel, Sosel and Michael Weisman and their four sons, I assumed that one of them might be serving in the British army. Therefore, I asked Zoler if perhaps he knew a Weisman in the army. It turned out that he and Yoske Weisman and Ben Zion Weisman were in the same unit. I sent a note to them and within a few days, they found me in the camp in Bologna. I reached Israel at the end of 1945 with the legal immigration. Here I started to re-build my life.
Even until today I can't comprehend why I was the one who survived and not my brother Shmaya who had prepared the hideout and organized the escape.
About that, I never received an answer.

I was born in 1931 and my sister Haya was born two years later. We grew up in our town Rafalovka and were happy and fortunate. These were the most beautiful years of our lives. We grew up in a warm home with our parents and two sisters. The good memories from our short childhood are engraved deep in our hearts.
My father had a flourmill and I remember the long convoys of grain-packed carts waiting to be ground. Our house was adjacent to the mill. It was noisy and lively and full of joy. I remember the Jewish holidays, we celebrated them so fervently. I remember our studies at the Tarbut School. These were quiet and happy times until the enemy came and put an end to everything. Our parents, sisters a big family - were slaughtered. We came out of this hell, two orphaned sisters with no family or support. We wandered endlessly hoping we would survive and not knowing what tomorrow would bring. We had no roof to shelter us, we were hungry, dirty and miserable. It is hard to describe the sufferings of two lonely orphans in the forests of Ukraine. More than once, when hope had run out, I pleaded with my sister to give up and turn ourselves over to the Germans. But it was my little sister who would beg me no. She would yell, I want to live. I didn't go to the Germans on my own out of pity for her for I knew how she would suffer all alone in the world.
[Page 118]
After a few years of wandering between the villages and the forests we ran into a good-hearted woman named Batsheva. She took care of us and made sure we had a place to sleep and bread to eat. Of course, we could not stay in one place for a long time. We wandered endlessly until we got to the partisans. They took care of us. We stayed with them until Rafalovka was liberated. We were drawn home hoping to find some survivors from our large family. But to our great despair, no one survived. The house and the mill remained intact. The Russians were working the mill. We met a bunch of Jews who began returning from the surrounding forests to their homes. But we were miserable without our family and support.
We met Simha Brat of blessed memory and his family in Rafalovka. They took care of us for awhile, but not for long. They decided to leave Rafalovka and go to Eretz-Israel. Simha Brat had a big family and he couldn't take us with him. They found a woman named Bella Renyuk[1] who agreed to take care of us. We crossed the Ukrainian-Polish border with her. Zionist parties began organizing the surviving few in Poland and sending them to Eretz-Israel. After a long journey with many stops in various European countries, a battle with the English on the shores of Eretz-Israel, and quarantine in the camps in Cyprus, we finally reached the longed-for shores of Eretz-Israel. We built our homes here and raised children and grandchildren to love Eretz-Israel. He who went through all the torments of the Holocaust truly appreciates his land, his country and his People.

Stormwater runoff is water from rain or melting snow that flows over the ground. Land in a natural condition soaks up the water. In areas with buildings, roads and parking lots, the water flows over these surfaces into storm drains. Storm drains lead to streams, not to a wastewater treatment facility. Anything that goes down a storm drain goes directly to the nearest stream. Stormwater management controls this polluted runoff by sending it through the storm drainage system and then to lakes and streams. This reduces the pollution that reaches the Chesapeake Bay and helps prevent flooding.

Our future?
Last updated at 12:15, Thursday, 26 April 2012
WEST Cumbria's future has been mapped out for the next 15 years.
Some 3,000 new jobs and a £90 billion nuclear investment are outlined in a draft Economic Blueprint described by partners in Britain's Energy Coast as a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" with far-reaching consequences for the local economy.
Their key message? Act now and act decisively.
Included are new contracts for construction, business and professional services, scientific and technical activities as well as secondary spending to boost the hotel, food and accommodation sectors.
Capturing as much of the massive investment value as possible locally is crucial while also creating an environment which encourages innovation and supporting an enterprise culture where local people can grasp opportunity.
Nuclear new-build and related investment could potentially create 3,000 jobs, the blueprint says – "demonstrating that this investment is critical to the continued economic health of the area."
"The aim," says the West Cumbria Economic Blueprint, "is to build on the area's unique nuclear experience and global position to develop a dynamic, wealth-creating sustainable economic future for today, tomorrow and future generations."
With a programme of actions drawn up to help accelerate business innovation and growth, it stresses: "For West Cumbria to reach its full economic potential, we recognise the important contribution that good quality schools and healthcare, sufficient choice and quality of housing, a modern transport infrastructure and a supportive planning policy framework plays.
"It's critical West Cumbria offers the best-quality infrastructure to attract visitors and retain people in the local economy... this will require investment in West Cumbria's schools, healthcare provision and housing to ensure the area offers the best-in-class and can compete successfully for the investment
"This will involve equipping local businesses to access contract, providing the right level of skills and expertise to enable local people to access employment opportunities; providing land and property in the right locations for businesses looking for a local base; and enhancing transport and digital communications infrastructure to cope with increased demand.
"Investing in these areas will not only help to ensure West Cumbria benefits fully from decommissioning and new-build expenditure but that the infrastructure is in place which will make the area more competitive as a business location for the future.
"It will also involve supporting our business to ensure they are able to assess contract opportunities and benefit from this investment enabling them to create more high-value jobs as well as providing opportunities for delivering the economic regeneration of our principal town centres of Whitehaven and Workington.
"These areas of activity will need to be supported by targeted investment in key infrastructure and the assets of the area."
Here are a few of the keynotes:
RETAIL employment is forecast to grow in West Cumbria linked to the wider growth in the local economy and demand for convenience and comparison products.
"Increased employment opportunities and the attraction of additional households to live and work in West Cumbria will enhance demand for retail products and services."
THERE will be a growing demand for opportunities for businesses operating in the accommodation, food and drink sectors linked to major investment in new-build and decommissioning.
"With an increasing presence of multi-national firms operating from West Cumbria, there will be a growing market for business visitors and associated expenditure."
BY NO means a certainty in West Cumbria. However, if the development does proceed it will generate an unprecedented level of investment in the area, creating significant levels of both direct and indirect employment which will have land and commercial property implications.
By raising the international profile of West Cumbria, it also has the potential to stimulate investment and growth in other linked sectors of the economy.
Planned investment in the nuclear sector peaks around 2022/23 and then declines.
Enabling more business to diversify is important. Over the next 15 years there will be a £90 billion investment in the decommissioning process at Sellafield – and potential for additional investment in nuclear new-build activity.
THE scale of planned investment in West Cumbria is unprecedented and there will be many new contract opportunities for local firms in the residential, leisure and commercial sectors. This will lead to more opportunities for construction-related employment. The strategy sets out to "deliver these investments alongside targeted action to develop an enterprise culture, workforce skills and job readiness will ensured that the whole community of West Cumbria benefits from the economic opportunities created.
WEST Cumbria's population is forecast to age over the period to 2027 and this will create additional demands and pressures on health and social care programmes. There will be additional job opportunities arising in the health and caring professions as a result of these important changes.
WITH a focus on supporting the development of specialist teaching and education facilities to support the whole community, there will be enhanced opportunities for employment in the education sector.
FOOD security is an issue of growing national significance and the capacity of West Cumbria to continue to supply food resources in the future will be a valuable commodity. Alongside this trend with the growing importance of the low-carbon agenda there is an opportunity to harness West Cumbria's land, water and forest resources to help to power low-carbon energy systems.
INVESTMENT in infrastructure will underpin business and job creation. The Port of Workington provides an international gateway to West Cumbria and can be a catalyst for growth.
THIS will be set up to implement the strategy as a focus for investment.
"It underlines a significant West Cumbria role in delivering the country's future needs at the same time as helping to deliver the government's low-carbon agenda.
"Tied in with all this is a strategy which aims to maximise investment in nuclear and energy infrastructure.
"This is said to represent a step change in collective aspiration, thinking and action to establish a catalyst for delivering positive economic benefits for all the people of West Cumbria, the wider county of Cumbria and the nation as a whole.
"It provides an opportunity to deliver over unprecedented investment value and over 3000 jobs in the next 15 years as well as doubling our contribution to UK GVA levels.
"It is designed to work from a position of commercial knowledge and the competitive advantage associated with West Cumbria's high-tech and productive economy.
"We will capture a substantial share of market growth in these dynamic sectors, benefiting not only the local area but also UK plc.
"However, these impacts are linked to the 'one off' investment in the nuclear sector, the impact of which will diminish beyond 2022/23.
"Responding to this challenge, we are also preparing our businesses now to play a leading role in the UK's emerging Clean Tech industries and advanced manufacturing sectors as well as capitalising on our continued specialist knowledge in the nuclear sector which is a saleable commodity to a global market.
"This will help to sustain the employment gains that will be achieved by 2022/23 as well as creating a more diverse business rate."
The blueprint goes on:
Without nuclear new-build or associated investment, the economy will contract by about 1,800 jobs by 2027.
Enabling more businesses to diversify will ensure the economy is sustained in the post-nuclear investment period.
There will be an opportunity for local companies to access international opportunities as well as a mechanism for knowledge transfer from Sellafield to the local business base.
Measures will be put in place in the short term to ensure that as much of the substantial investment in nuclear new-build and decommissioning is captured by local businesses as possible. This will involve working with nuclear and associated partners to ensure that research and innovation flows into the local supply chain making local businesses more competitive – particularly important at Sellafield which contains a wealth of applied technical knowledge and expertise – this will also involve working with partners to ensure that their social and economic commitments to West Cumbria are delivered fully.
And there will be an opportunity to provide new housing for West Cumbria's residents post the construction phrase.
The Blueprint has been drawn up by public and private sector partners to deliver the potential of Britain's Energy Coast.
