Skies of Arcadia, released in Japan as Eternal Arcadia (エターナルアルカディア?), is a role-playing video game developed by Overworks for the Dreamcast and published by Sega in 2000. It was ported to the GameCube in 2002 as Skies of Arcadia Legends, featuring minor enhancements. The game's story focuses around Vyse, a young air pirate in a fantasy world, and his friends as they attempt to stop the Valuan Empire from reviving ancient weapons with the potential to destroy the world. The game was generally well received by critics, but ultimately did not do well commercially.

Gameplay in Skies of Arcadia chiefly takes place in dungeons. Controlling the protagonist, Vyse, from a third-person view, players must traverse and defeat these dungeons to advance the storyline. A dungeon is a network of pathways with treasure chests, puzzles, and ubiquitous monsters. Completing the dungeons is usually a matter of exploring each of the pathways presented to the player until the correct one is found. Treasure chests are commonplace and contain some of the most powerful items in the game. Throughout the dungeon gameplay players meet compulsory random encounters. If the entire player party is defeated, progress is reset to the beginning of the dungeon.
Travel between the many dungeons is accomplished by piloting an airship through the overworld, a three-dimensional sky with massive floating rocks forming islands and continents. Some islands are completely uninhabited, while others are filled with sprawling towns and cities. Dungeons are located on these islands and continents, with one exception: where a dungeon is traversed while piloting the airship. There are notable differences in this particular dungeon, such as treasure chests being replaced with floating, spherical objects. It also has vortex-like tunnels instead of corridors/doors in one case, and a single series of tunnels in the other.
Overworld travel takes place entirely on the player's airship. The world is at first divided by impassable "sky rifts" which bar the player's passage. Throughout overworld travel, unavoidable random encounters occur as in the dungeons. These battles take place on the deck of the airship and are otherwise identical to their dungeon-based counterparts. Later in the game, however, an advanced mechanism is discovered for the player's ship which allows it to rise above the upper cloud layer and sink below the lower cloud layer of Arcadia, presenting two ways to avoid these encounters and providing the player the means to pass through sky rifts. In addition, ship-to-ship combat can occur while traveling through the overworld; however, the majority of these are unavoidable boss fights which advance the storyline. Random ship-to-ship battles can occur, but they are rare and avoidable.
The player can find Discoveries hidden throughout the world while flying their airship. Information about discoveries can be sold at Sailor's Guilds located in cities throughout the game; the value of a discovery is determined by how well-hidden it is and how much time has elapsed since it was possible to find. When finding a new land, a discovery is recorded automatically, as these Discoveries are part of the storyline.
Battle system[edit]
Combat occurs frequently, especially during the overworld travel. It is not until late in the game that it becomes possible to avoid combat during overworld travel. Combat comprises two vastly different settings: those encountered in ship-to-ship and character-to-monster combat. Ship-to-ship combat occurs relatively rarely compared to the common character-combat. This encounter rate was reduced for the GameCube re-release.
Character combat[edit]
Character combat occurs between one and four player characters and one to eight monsters or NPCs. Combat comprises seven main options: Run, Items (which can be used to change the characters' equipment as well), Guard, Attack, S.Move (Super Move), Magic and Focus. An eighth option, Crew Special, becomes available later in the game by meeting certain criteria (which replaces the Run command). After an action has been chosen for each character, the round will commence.
Ship combat[edit]
Ship combat is used when battling other ships and the extremely powerful gigas that are summoned throughout the game. Ship combat follows the same framework as character combat, with a few distinct differences. Each round in ship combat is divided into either three or four turns depending on how many characters are currently in the party. During each round, neither team has more than a single turn advantage over the opposition. Ship battles use a color-coded grid system to show each turn in the following two rounds, and the amount of fire the ship will come under during each turn. The green means there is no advantage on either side or the enemy is not going to attack. Yellow means the enemy will fire a cannon. Red means the enemy will fire something strong or has an advantage. Finally, C! means critical hit chance.
The same actions used in character combat are used here, albeit with small differences. The 'Attack' option now has the player pick between four cannons that have been equipped to the ship. Cannons come in three types — powerful main cannons, multi-firing secondary cannons, and delayed-effect torpedoes — and each one can only be used once per round. This same stipulation carries over to the S. Move command, which now uses a large, front-mounted cannon. In addition to the standard actions, the ship's crew can be called upon by one of the characters in the party. While each of these can only be used once in each ship battle, the diversity and power of the crew's abilities can be very useful.
Pinta Quest: The VMU mini game[edit]
Skies of Arcadia included a mini-RPG for the VMU, called Pinta Quest. The game can be downloaded after the player reaches Sailor's Isle and talks to Pinta, a boy who expresses a wish to sail all over the world and discover things.
Pinta Quest is essentially a miniature RPG based entirely on random encounters, and any items and money gained within the minigame can be loaded into the main game inventory. Due to the lack of a similar device available for the GameCube, Pinta Quest was not included in Skies of Arcadia Legends.

Thousands of years ago, six civilizations coexisted on floating continents in the titular skies of Arcadia, a world with no apparent surface that is orbited by six moons of different colors. The civilizations, one of which existed for each moon, developed technologically to the point where each created a Gigas, a colossal living weapon of mass destruction, as well as the Moon Crystals that could be used to control them. Using the Gigas, the civilizations warred with one another, which caused enormous environmental harm and threatened the extinction of all six. The most advanced, the Silver Civilization, used their Gigas to summon the Rains of Destruction, which pulled meteors from the orbiting moons and crashed them down onto the planet's surface. The catastrophic destruction stopped the rampage of the Gigas, as well as nearly destroyed the other five civilizations, thus ending the war. A seal was placed on the Silver Gigas to prevent the Rains from being used again, and the Moon Crystals were hidden away.
In present time, the militant and tyrannical Valuan Empire, led by Empress Teodora, seeks the Moon Crystals to awaken the Gigas and take over the world. Valua's will is enforced through the Valuan Armada, a fleet of iron-clad warships led by senior admiral Galcian and vice admiral Ramirez under the authority of the Empress. They are primarily opposed by the Blue Rogues, a faction of air pirates who make it a point to harass the Armada as much as possible. Fina, a girl from the Silver Civilization, is sent to find the Moon Crystals before the Valuans and bring them to a safe place. She is quickly captured by an admiral of the Armada, then rescued by a group of Blue Rogues, among them fellow protagonists Vyse and Aika. Although the shy and withdrawn Fina is initially reluctant to trust Vyse and Aika, she opens up to them after she is recaptured by the Armada, but again rescued. Vyse and Aika agree to join Fina on her mission to gather the Moon Crystals.
Accompanied by an initially uninterested old fisherman and ship's captain named Drachma, the trio recover the Red Moon Crystal from a temple in the desert nation of Nasr and, shortly afterward, find the Green Moon Crystal high above Ixa'taka, a continent of lush forests. In both lands, the Blue Rogues foil Valuan operations. Vyse is separated from Aika and Fina when Drachma's ship, the Little Jack, is severely damaged in a Valuan attack. Vyse ends up stranded on a small island, named Crescent Island, where he manages to uncover letters and a map left behind by another pirate who was seeking a great treasure. Vyse is later found by a fellow Blue Rogue named Gilder, who takes him aboard to help him search for his friends. Meanwhile, Aika and Fina end up in the care of another Blue Rogue, the lady pirate Clara, who takes them to Nasr to help them find clues as to where to find Vyse. In Nasr, Aika and Fina find out about the same treasure Vyse read up on, and leave to pursue it. The three soon reunite, along with Gilder, but are then captured by vice admiral Ramirez and brought to the Valuans' impenetrable prison fortress. By enlisting the aid of the Valuan prince Enrique, who has lost patience with his government's tyranny, and stealing a powerful Valuan warship named the Delphinus, the Blue Rogues are able to escape. Vyse brings everyone back to Crescent Island, upon which he formally establishes a base of operations and living quarters for he and his fellow shipmates.
Using the Delphinus's advanced technology to reach previously inaccessible areas of the world, Vyse and crew recover the Blue Moon Crystal from the eastern Oriental land of Yafutoma, as well as the Purple Moon Crystal from the southern glacial content of Glacia. After obtaining the Yellow Moon Crystal from the Valuan continent, Vyse and crew retrieve Fina's personal ship, which was lost upon her initial capture by the Valuans, and which she needs to bring the Moon Crystals to the Silver Civilization, which exists in an immense shrine that orbits Arcadia. However, Ramirez's fleet assaults the Blue Rogues and he steals all of their Moon Crystals. Vyse, Aika, Fina, and Gilder travel to the Great Silver Shrine in orbit to confer with the elders; they are followed by Galcian and Ramirez, who assassinate the leader of the Silvite elders and from his body extract the final Moon Crystal.
Galcian and Ramirez use the six Moon Crystals to raise the lost Silver continent of Soltis and break the seal on the Silver Gigas. They then use the Rains of Destruction to annihilate the Valuan capital, killing Empress Teodora and seizing control of the Valuan Armada in a bid to dominate the world. Vyse rallies a fleet of Blue Rogues, as well as Yafutoman warships and ships from other regions of the world, to battle the Valuan Armada. In the ensuing struggle, the crew of the Delphinus disables Galcian's capital ship, an armored floating fortress known as the Hydra. Vyse and his friends board the ship and defeat Galcian; however, Galician attempts to escape, but is stopped by Admiral Belleza, who has had a change of heart and sacrifies her ship and her life to kill them both. Ramirez, who has retreated into Soltis, grows enraged at Galcian's death, and prepares to use the Rains of Destruction to wipe out the Blue Rogue fleet. Before he can do so, he is stopped by the Silvites, who sacrifice their lives to take down the protective shield around Soltis. Vyse and his friends enter Soltis and battle Ramirez, who then merges with the Silver Gigas, Zelos, allowing it to awaken. Returning to the Delphinus, Vyse and his crew do battle with Zelos and manage to defeat the Gigas before it gains its full strength. Vyse and his crew rush to the outer deck, where a chunk of Zelos, merged with Ramirez and controlling him, slams onto the Delphinus's deck. Vyse and his crew battle Ramirez-Zelos one final time, a fight which ultimately results in Ramirez's death and the complete defeat of the Valuan Armada. Vyse, Aika, and Fina, in a showing of honor and respect of all pirates, takes the Silvite piece left from Ramirez's body and bury it out at sea; a code of respect all pirates follow.
Enrique, the prince of Valua, marries his love interest, a princess of Yafutoma, and becomes emperor of Valua. With a promise of benevolent rule, he and his wife oversee the reconstruction of the Valuan capital. Vyse and Aika formally inaugurate Fina as a Blue Rogue, and together the three friends sail their own ship into the sunset. As the post-game credits roll, an epilogue briefly details the fates and further adventures of each member of the Delphinus's crew.
Throughout the game the protagonist, Vyse, is the character that is controlled by the player. Vyse and Aika, the female lead, are permanent members of a four character party. At various stages, the player can pick up one, and only one, of the secondary characters. At some points the player has a choice which of these to use, but often it is compulsory for the party to contain a certain secondary character. A short way through the game, Fina changes from a storyline-only role to a playable character and a permanent member. At stages in the game Gilder, Drachma and Enrique are added and removed from the character pool. This is usually done for narrative purposes; near the end of the game the player can choose which of the three characters to use for the final moments.
Main player characters[edit]
- Vyse: A 17-year-old Blue Rogue (air pirates that only attack armed vessels larger than their own ships, in particular those of the Valuan Armada). Vyse has an upbeat, optimistic and determined personality, making him a natural leader. Often, he is the one who keeps the entire party's spirit up in the face of seemingly unbeatable odds. He is also the character the player controls when not in battle. Vyse fights with twin cutlasses, one used for offense and one used for defense.
- Aika: Vyse's close friend since childhood and fellow Blue Rogue. She is 17 years old, like Vyse. Aika has a strong and energetic personality; she is deeply and fiercely loyal to those around her, and has a bit of a fiery temper, yet has weaknesses such as obsession with treasure and unable to swim. She was orphaned at an early age, and was cared for by Vyse's family. Aika fights using an oversized boomerang. She is left-handed.
- Fina: Fina is a "Silvite", one of the few survivors of the ancient, defunct Silver Civilization. She is 17, like Vyse and Aika. Fina is beautiful, sweet natured and demure, but hides an iron will. She is initially naive of customs and the Arcadian way of life, but proves to be a quick learner. She forms a strong bond with Vyse and an even stronger, almost sisterly bond, with Aika. Fina's pet, a silver ball-like creature named Cupil, fights for her. Cupil can morph into various shapes and gains power by eating Chams, Moon Stone shards that are hidden throughout the game. When not in battle, Cupil takes the form of a bracelet that Fina wears.
Secondary player characters[edit]
- Drachma: A 55-year-old maimed man, Drachma lost his right arm, right eye, and only son while fighting the giant arcwhale Rhaknam. He has a mechanical right arm which he uses as a weapon during battle. His obsession with hunting Rhaknam leads him to search the skies. Drachma is the captain of the small fishing airship, Little Jack. He travels with Vyse and the others for part of the game, and pretends not to care about them, but he shows up just in time to save them quite a few times. With his artificial limb and vendetta against a strangely colored, deformed whale, he seems to be based on Captain Ahab in Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick.
- Gilder: A rakishly handsome 32-year-old man, Gilder wears a pince-nez and uses pistols as his weapons. He found and rescued Vyse from Crescent Island when Vyse was stranded, and joined him in his travels. Gilder is the captain of the light, swift pirate vessel Claudia. He has a parrot named Willy, who can be helpful when Gilder needs to break out of jail cells. He is a very laid-back, adventurous, and flirtatious individual, as he dreads nothing more than being tied down by marriage. As such, he seems to be constantly looking over his shoulder and running away from Clara, a Blue Rogue obsessed with him. Despite his carefree nature, Gilder is a highly experienced and capable air pirate, and his expertise proves useful to Vyse several times throughout the story.
- Enrique: At 25 years old, Enrique is the Crown prince of the Valuan Empire but disagrees strongly with the imperialist policies of his mother, Empress Teodora I. The name of his father is unknown. Enrique uses rapiers as his weapon in battle. Unable to change or even influence the totalitarian ways of the empire, he joins the air pirates later on and gives Vyse his flagship, the Delphinus, when the party tries to escape the Grand Fortress for the second time. His frank nobility and chivalry are in direct opposition to the attitudes of most of the higher Valuans, and it is his infectious goodness that ends up saving the entire party later on.
The Blue Rogues' sworn enemy, the Valuan Empire, continually hunts Vyse and Aika throughout the game. The Valuan Empire is ruled politically by the Empress Teodora I, but the real military power lies with the Lord Admiral Galcian. Galcian's five deputies — Alfonso (First Admiral), Gregorio, Vigoro, Belleza, and De Loco (Fifth Admiral) - each have a distinct personality, personified by their highly unique flagships. Amongst themselves they are each silently competing for promotion at the expense of the others, especially Alfonso, who thinks he should be Lord Admiral instead of Galcian. Galcian's Vice-Captain Ramirez later becomes the Sixth Admiral of the Valuan Armada and has a mysterious connection to Fina.
Development and release[edit]
Skies of Arcadia Legends[edit]
On December 26, 2002, an enhanced port, Skies of Arcadia Legends was released in Japan for the GameCube. It was subsequently released in North America on January 27, 2003, and in Europe on May 23, 2003. Legends was in development for the PlayStation 2 and Microsoft Windows, but both ports were canceled shortly before the GameCube version's release.[1][2] Legends features slightly enhanced graphics, shorter loading times and some additional content. The game includes the Dreamcast's downloadable add-ons, and some new scenes, some of which tell stories of events that happened before the game.
While the game is largely a direct port of the Dreamcast version, Legends does have some changes due to the differences in hardware. Since the Gamecube is incompatible with the Dreamcast's VMU, content displayed from it is moved to corner of the game's screen. There are not many significant graphical differences between the two versions; even the texture level of detail bias remains the same despite the GameCube's more powerful texturing abilities. The majority of character models have gained some additional polygon counts, which are especially apparent on most characters' hands, heads, and torsos. In addition, framerate drops that occurred on the Dreamcast while sailing in certain areas or performing certain super moves or magic have been largely reduced or eliminated. The GameCube makes use of its improved hardware to reduce game saving and loading times as well as battle sequence loading times. The GameCube version does not require the use of a second disc, whereas the Dreamcast version does. However, to fit on the single GameCube disc, the music in Legends is lower quality than in the Dreamcast version.
Legends, as well as the original English-language Dreamcast version, has stronger censorship of mature content.[3] All traces of cigarettes are removed, shops serve Loqua juice instead of alcohol, and one female character's attire is altered to be less revealing.[3] Additionally, the rate of random encounters is slightly lower in the GameCube version but experience points earned are higher per battle to make up for this.
In regards to game content, Legends features twenty-four new discoveries to be found, and act as a larger source of income for the player. Additionally, inclusion of a subplot involving collecting Moonfish for a Doctor and a girl named Maria was added. Moonfish, invisible to the naked eye, are placed throughout the game for the player to collect. When prompted by the distinctive sound Moonfish make, Vyse is able to see Moonfish with a special adjustment to his headgear. When returning these Moonfish to the Doc, Maria's bird begins to grow, and is eventually added to the journal as a Discovery. Feeding Maria's bird also unlocks cutscenes showing the pasts of several characters related to Doc and Maria, including the antagonists. Another added subplot involving Piastol, a woman who hunts air pirates under the nom de guerre "Angel of Death". Piastol is after Vyse because she mistakenly believes that he killed her father seven years before the story began. She calls for Vyse several times throughout the game, leading to optional, difficult boss battles. Defeating her unlocks additional cutscenes explaining her past and relations to the other characters.
A "Wanted List" of enemies to locate while exploring has been added as well, most of them being entirely new to the GameCube version. These enemies are markedly more difficult than the rest of the game (including other boss battles), partly because they level up simultaneously as the player's party does, meaning that they will be consistently difficult regardless of the player's current level. Legends also contains a new in-game secret, music tracks for both Nasultan and post-attack Nasr, the best set of swords for Vyse, and a secret boss battle.
On October 5, 2000, the game's musical soundtrack was released on CD as a double album.[4] Composed by Yutaka Minobe and Tatsuyuki Maeda, it features 67 original tracks from the game and has a runtime of over two hours and twenty minutes.[4][5] The album is named after the Japanese version of the game, Eternal Arcadia.[4] Five tracks from the game (Clara's Theme, De Loco's Theme, Dark Rift music, Blue Moon Crystal tune, and the post-destruction Nasr theme) are omitted from the official soundtrack release.[5] A small number of copies were imported into the US.
Skies of Arcadia received critical acclaim from game reviewers. IGN gave the game a 9.2, praising it for its "solid overall visuals, lively and appealing characters, excellent use of camera angles, and some of the coolest mechanical designs for the airships".[6] GameSpot gave the game a 9.2 as well, praising the visuals, stating that they were "some of the most painstakingly detailed ever seen in a role-playing game". As a whole, GameSpot concluded that the game "lives up [to] the high expectations".[7] Game Informer listed it as one of the top 10 Dreamcast games.[19]
One major complaint about the game was the high rate of random encounter-based battles, which made traveling a test of the player's patience. This was fixed to a degree in Legends, the enhanced port for the GameCube.
Despite the positive critical reception, the game generally was considered to not have sold very well.[20]
A sequel to the game was considered by Sega in the early 2000s, but never began full production.[21] Multiple characters from the game later appeared in Sega's 2008 video game Valkyria Chronicles.[22] Two optional characters named "Vyse Inglebard" and "Aika Thompson" appear as members of Squad 7 and are listed on each other's "Like" list. Differences in uniforms and weaponry aside, their appearances are otherwise identical to their Skies of Arcadia counterparts. Some of the dialogue spoken by the two contains subtle references to Skies of Arcadia, such as Aika's line when rescuing a fallen comrade "If you die on me, then I'm taking all your treasure!", or the line for her Nocturnal ability "I ain't scared of the dark! ...just ghosts..." Fina appears as one of several identical sisters who serve as the squad's (unplayable) Medics. The characters' profiles in the game allude to Skies of Arcadia. Vyse's profile states he is from a far off land, and once the player completes the game, his profile is updated to indicate that he and Aika left Gallia to seek adventure and treasure, further alluding to the aforementioned game.
In the Valkyria Chronicles anime adaption, Vyse makes a cameo appearance as a member of Squad 5 during the Liberation of Fouzen (episode 13), and the medic who tends to Rosie (episode 18) and Alicia (episode 21) has the appearance of Fina and her "sisters". Aika has not appeared in the VC anime. In the 2nd OVA of Valkyria Chronicles 3, Vyse makes a cameo as a member of Squad 7.
Vyse also makes an appearance as a playable character in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. A racetrack based on Skies of Arcadia is also present in the game. Vyse also appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic book adaption of the game (Sonic Universe #45), and then again in the Sonic comics for the "World Unite" Sega character crossover story arc.[23]

Giant panda breeding season starts early at National Zoo
The 2009 giant panda mating season began Thursday, Jan. 15 at the Smithsonian's National Zoo. Female Mei Xiang (may-SHONG) and male Tian Tian (tee-YEN tee-YEN) attempted to mate throughout the day Thursday. For the past six years, Mei Xiang has typically ovulated in March or April.
Zoo staff carefully observed the pandas' activities and, because competent mating did not occur, Zoo scientists and veterinarians performed a nonsurgical artificial inseminations on Jan. 17.

California Homeownership Without Mortgage Payments - Homeowner Associations Pay For California Mortgage Moratoriums
By Bob Schwartz, CRS,GRI, San Diego real estate broker
While some people struggle to keep their mortgage payments current, others are living in their houses for free. Not only are they not making mortgage payments but they are being offered incentives when they don't. The Federal government has pressured lenders to work out foreclosure alternatives because of the larger number of foreclosure activity. There are also both Federal and state foreclosure moratoriums extending this "live free" courtesy.
The media outlets continue to show hard working families with five or six kids being 'forced' to leave their home. It makes for good emotional 'news.' There is another side to the story. Sadly, the taxpayers (and future generations) end up paying.
Last week Citigroup announced plans for a pilot program. Delinquent borrowers who don't qualify for, or decline, mortgage relief would be allowed to stay in their homes without making payments for up to six months. In return, the owner/tenant are to keep the property in good condition. Let's look at this a different way. Hypothetically, say the monthly payment is $1,900. Can the bank not get a gardener and a security service for MUCH less?
Who will make the property tax, insurance, and utility payments? In the case of condominiums and planned communities, who pays the monthly homeowners dues? My first post on this topic: New California Law Offers Free Living for Many Homeowners was published on 6-6-09.
In San Diego, and probably all of California, many of the foreclosures involve condominiums or communities with homeowner fees. Typically, if after a number of months a homeowner is delinquent in their dues, the Association files a lien notice. In severe cases the Association will foreclose on this lien. Now with all the 'underwater' homeowners, many homeowner associations are not even incurring the expense of filing a lien. Since there is negative equity the associations are rendered impotent.
If that is not bad enough, the California legislature in its infinite wisdom passed two new laws last year that effectively more than double the time before a lender can think of a foreclosure. If they had added a provision that moratoriums only applied to homeowners who kept up with their tax, insurance, and homeowner fees it wouldn't have been so bad. In my opinion a portion of the regular monthly mortgage payment should have been included.
Perhaps that is too much common sense to expect from the government. Unfortunately, this has created a problem for California homeowner associations. Had the government stayed out of the process and not pressured lenders, the normal foreclosure time frames would not have hit the homeowner associations as hard.
In California, a foreclosure previously took 90 days plus a 21 advertising period. If there are no buyers, the property reverts back to the lender. Once the lender owns the property the monthly expenses, including the homeowner's fee became the responsibility of the lender.
In California and many western states, on a first loan to purchase your principal residence, the lender's ONLY recourse is to take back the property. They are barred by law from any other actions against the troubled homeowner (liens, pay garnishments, personal property repossession, etc.). Whether the owner is $100,000 under water or stays rent free for another year and becomes an additional $25,000 under water, it really does not matter. The credit rating is going to take a toll for normally 7 years. With the extent of the current housing problem this credit hit will likely have a lessened impact. Even with the negative hit to credit, many are deciding walking away/staying without paying is an easy way out of the substantial negative equity position.
It's becoming common for troubled Californian homeowner to live payment free for a year and possibly longer. Unfortunately for the paying members of homeowner associations, they will have to cover the delinquent dues. Adding insult to injury, they have no hope of recovering these additional costs without raising dues or imposing special assessments.

This honorary award will be presented every five years to two individuals — a man and a woman — who, through their dedication, hard work and compassion, have built on Madiba's legacy. Nelson Mandela once said: "It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it." He was a leader who acted with a steadfast belief in justice and human equality. Let us all continue, each day, to draw inspiration from Nelson Mandela's life-long example and his call to never cease working to build a better world for all.
Nelson Mandela Foundation pays tribute to everyone who supported Mandela Day 2014
The United Nations linked its My World Campaign to Mandela Day. Designed to secure participation by global citizens in the identifying of new development goals, it has already secured contributions from nearly 3 million people around the world. Mandela Day activations were recorded in 126 countries. Over 1 200 actions were registered on the Mandela Day website and there are more to come. Nearly half a million food parcels were distributed to needy South Africans. Over a million sanitary towels were made available to South African schoolgirls. Drawing on volunteers from Australia, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, the US and South Africa, Habitat for Humanity built another 67 houses for those in need. And we recorded over 15 000 books donated to school libraries on the day itself. The Mandela Day Library Programme should result in an additional 30 library spaces to the over 55 we have already delivered before year-end.
Mandla Mandela hands out blankets to the elderly in rural Hammanskraal
On 26 June 2014, over 2 000 elderly members of a rural community in Hammanskraal, North West Province, received a much-welcome winter gift – a thick blanket donated by the Al-Imdaad Foundation and personally handed over to them by Zwelivelile "Mandla" Mandela, chief of the Mvezo Traditional Council and grandson of the late Nelson Mandela. An initiative of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, the Al-Imdaad Foundation and the Chief himself, the blanket handover project represents Mandla Mandela's call to make every day a Mandela Day by helping those in your community in whatever way they can.

Thanks Murray, I'm going to be contacting David shortly to find out more about Cardano3 and Drawgraphics. I probably buried the original intent of my question too deeply in the overall 'quest', so I think I'll post it again without burying it in a tome. Matt

Since the thread is about female LEO's, I don't quite understand the need for multiple posts about combat troops...doesn't seem to be the topic. And the LEO's in my county and small city certainly couldn't handle the bizzillion mile march straight up some Afgani mountain nor the year long door to door Iraqi urban combat fighting missions...and they are all male. The last state trooper that pulled me over was at least 50lbs overweight and in his 50's--so I really doubt the Army'd want him on the front lines doing combat missions either. All of my relatives that are LEO are not physically capable of running. Seems to little ole me that soldiers and LEO are two different occupations with two different physical sets of expectations so comparing female soldiers to female LEO is ...well...apples to oranges.
I know more LEO's who are obese than I do LEO's who are He-Mans who can single-handedly take down 300lb drunk ninjas. Somehow I think being obese would be a greater detriment for a LEO than lacking male anatomy....yet obese LEO are the norm in my area. For the year I've been reading this site, I cannot recall ever seeing a "fat LEO" thread, nor can I imagine that it would last seeing as it is grossly inappropriate....yet many people posting on this thread feel justified making sexist comments in the name of "upper body strength" and "physical requirements".
To call this thread a "discussion" is misleading and wrong. To state that women are incapable of being good LEO's simply because of their gender is sexism, pure and simple. So sorry that you feel threatened by women in LEO positions but female LEO's are here to stay and they don't need your permission nor approval.

Since adoption is a sensitive topic, schools must take the initiative to acknowledge adoption in the classrooms so that every adoptive family can share their journey without fear of being judged.

Thanks, Marge, Kitty.
That is exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Personal
experience over some time with the magazine. Suppose I will definitely put
this one on my list for Ms. Santa to consider. And, if she does not I will
order it for myself. Right now I am letting my subscription run out on BBC
Gardener's World and Plants. I keep trying to find gardeners who are doing
something a bit out of the ordinary or doing something"different" -whatever
that is. I think I am beginning to get a bit of a glaze over my eyes on
American gardening magazines.
Thanks for relating your experiences.

SMW's Celebrity Chef Secrets: Anne Burrell
By Fabiana Santana
You probably recognize her as Food Network guru Mario Batali's right hand woman on Iron Chef America – her spiky, blond hair and control in the kitchen make her a hard one to forget.
But these days, it's Anne Burrell who could use Mario's help. She most recently ran the show at hard-to-get-into Centro Vinoteca and Gusto Ristorante e Bar Americano in Manhattan's trendy West Village neighborhood, and now has her own show on the Food Network called Secrets of a Restaurant Chef
(10:30am ET/PT) where she shares all the tricks of her trade with home
cooks. The overachiever took a break to talk to us about what it's like
having jobs that keep her so well fed.
How did you choose the recipes for your show?
talk it over with the culinary producers and they tell me what the
needs of the audience are. Like if the holidays are coming up, I will
develop a bunch of recipes about that. Or if we want to focus on
cooking with kids, I will come up with ideas for recipes kids can do.
What are some of your favorite tricks that you are now sharing with a home audience?
of the important things that I can't stress enough is to season as you
go. Taste everything and season. So many times people get to the end of
the recipe and add salt then and it just doesn't work that way. Taste
as you go, and even though it's not done, it should still taste good
and if it doesn't, season.
What is the item you will miss most on the Centro Vinoteca menu?
That's a hard one. Probably the pork chop. It's just delicious. It's big, meaty and juicy. Just yummy.
You also worked as Mario Batali's sous chef in Iron Chef America. How was that? Did you learn new tricks or techniques?
was no tie to experiment with cooking on the show, but it was always so
much fun. Battle pizza dough was a good one. We baked it and then
pureed it and made a bread based soup. And in another recipe we rolled
and grilled it and then cooked it like pasta.
What was your favorite secret ingredient?
There have been so many but probably battle Parmigiano. That was a great one.
How do you balance your workload – the consulting, the TV show, your appearances and everything else you do?
takes a lot of juggling. But I am lucky to have great people helping
me and reminding me to do things and where I have to be. And when you
love what you do, it doesn't feel like work.
What is your favorite energy snack for a busy day?
I always picked at the restaurant a lot, so I am used to always eating
all day. But there were moments when I just have to have cheese. I
would stop everything going on in the kitchen and say, "I have to have
some cheese right now!" And I still do that.
What is your favorite childhood memory of food?
mom was a really good cook but always made just enough. And I always
wanted more and there wasn't more! She'd say, "Don't eat just cause it
tastes good" and I'd say "but why not?". So now I do everything in
Centro Vinoteca did a lot of small plates. Why? Do you prefer them in a restaurant setting?
plates are great. I love them because instead of jumping right into
bread you have a chance to eat something else and try new things. I
love trying and tasting new stuff.

Summary | Excerpt | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Beneath the Abbey Wall is A.D. Scott's third mystery in a series that features employees of the Highland Gazette, a fictional newspaper set in the Scottish Highlands during the 1950s. Following A Small Death in the Great Glen (2010) and A Double Death on the Black Isle (2011), which hinged on crimes the staff reported, this latest installment hits closer to home. Mrs. Smart (neé Joyce Mackenzie), the inimitable office manager, is murdered, and Don McLeod, the deputy editor and Joyce's lover, is arrested despite seemingly little evidence. Editor-in-chief McAllister and Rob McLean, a twenty-two-year old reporter and the son of the local solicitor, rally to vindicate their colleague with the help of Jimmy McPhee, a local Traveller (see Beyond the Book). Together the men uncover a long list of secrets: about Joyce's family; the reason behind her marriage to Sergeant Major...

2013 Aston Martin Vanquish AM310 Sounds! 1080p HD!
Like TypeRacer8 on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/TypeRacer8/283936998318075 The all new Aston Martin AM310 Vanquish! This video contains accelerations, flybys and a drive by! AM was testing the new Vanquish at the Nürburgring Nordschleife at 20th August. Aston Martin has officially announced the new DBS successor and is being called the AM310 Vanquish. When discussing this new supercar, there is one thing that must be mentioned: carbon fiber. Carbon fiber makes up 99% of its body panels, and it is also used in the AM310's chassis. It weighs in at 3700 pounds, which is much lighter that the 3750 pounds One-77 and much less that the DBS which weighs in at 3836 pounds. On the inside, the AM310 is extraordinarily spacious and elegant. There is more head room, leg room, and trunk space in the AM310 compared to the DBS. With all of this space, Aston Martin had to make sure the passengers were comfortable in their seats and that they had a luxurious interior. With an Alcantara headliner, full grain leather interior, a 1000-watt Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a very well designed center console, they did more than make the AM310 a luxurious and comfortable ride. Of course, when talking about a DBS successor we can't ignore the power under the hood. Powered by the 5.9-liter V12, the AM310 has 565 hp and 457 lb-ft of torque. With an extremely light body and this powerful engine, the AM310 can go 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds and reaches its top speed at around 195 mph. Unfortunately, the AM310 is only available in a six-speed automatic transmission. This is upsetting considering how fun it would be to have a manual gearbox in such a powerhouse of a car. The Aston Martin AM310 Vanquish will be available in Europe later this year and it will be available to the U.S. early 2013. Of course, don't expect for the AM310 to be a cheap buy, it has a base sticker price of $279,995. *http://www.dupontregistry.com What do you think about this new Aston? Comment and let me know!

May's Best Comments
May was insanely wonderful. We had Gwyneth, Amanda Byrnes, Linds, and a pageant mom getting all huffy nearly four years after Dear Crabby wrote her T&T recap. Fans went nutz, and it was comment platinum. I mean, what is even better than a comment war? An insane rant, that's what. Close, though. Close.
Now without further palaver on my part, we have:
Madelyne27 on Dance Moms So Over It, "My dance would have to be called "My Last Value Meal"… bc there's a much better chance that I'll crash while trying to rescue a lost french fry off the floor of my car."
Sarcasatire on Walking Dead No Justice, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm heading to Myrtle Manor to find Darryl so we can wed. So in the future, While the rest of you fight off zombies, I'm gonna be munching on squirrel."
Itchy on Amanda Byrnes, "Aren't the Olsen twins billionaires? And they REALLY need to eat. What's up with rich people anyway? Don't they know how to find the fucking fridge?"
NotWithoutMyTV on JSP, "Plus, do you have ANY IDEA how much time and how many calories you burn everyday just using your mouth, tongue and larynx to from simple words like "before"?"
Tracy on Lindsay, "This gives me a great idea for another use of those controversial drones–put the dumb bitch on one then crash it into any Kardashian's house, thereby eliminating multiple useless fucks. If we're really lucky, we'll get Kanye too!"
Plath Addict on Lindsay, "Lindsay understands a few fundamental truths that you guys just don't understand. Well, ok, @crankyguy gets it. But, the rest of you…"
Chickenlips on Teen Mom, "I can see it now:
Leah: "I'm Leah and my twin girls are gonna rahk the stage!"
Goggles: "I'm Ali and I'm 4 years old. I want to win the pageant so I can win money to start my 529 college savings plan because Lord knows Mommy is going to use all the money she bilks out of Daddy on polyester hair and houses she can't really afford. Please help me."
Non-Goggles: "I'm Aleeah. I'm 4. I like eat paste."
Itchy on SJP, "Well, okay, I'll come clean here. For the past year or so I've been serving as the informal spokesperson for anal itching. Which is why I'm always going on and on about Preparation H.
There. I said it. It's spread out and in the open now. Ah."
Crankyguy on Lindsay, "Screwed? She made it to the west coast on time and she is enrolled. That shows good intentions, and for Lindsay, that should be enough. Cut the girl some slack. So she got sidetracked just before check-in time — no biggie.
Nobody is perfect, and artists are special. They give us the gift of their art, and we give them carte blanche. It is the traditional, sacred, social contract between the talented and the hoipoloi."
NotWithoutMyTV on Martha Stewart, "My name (but not my TRUE name–we don't know each other THAT well yet, tee hee) is Voldemort. I'm spiritual, not religious, confident and my friends say I'm good-looking in a noseless kind of way. I'm picky, and I refuse to settle. I want a funny, smart, guy's girl who owns a little black dress and maybe a strap-on, who can sing that "Pina Colada" song with me while we barbecue some muggle children in the backyard and post pictures of my cute Jack Russell to our Facebook page that we made just for our relationship. Please be a Republican, a C cup or larger, and weigh no more than 105 lbs. I'll be snorkeling in the Bahamas over the weekend, but email with a picture (no pic, no response, because hey, it's only fair, LOL) and I'll hit you back when I return."
Chicken Lips on Commentgasm, "My Rascal used to be a lot faster, but I burned out the turbo boost when Hostess was going out of business – I decided to klass myself up and get some Hostess pies to go along with my Little Debbies and the crowds were FIERCE! I was going to get it fixed, but I needed a new flipper and more rhinestones on my housecoat to help boost the look of my spray tan so I haven't been able to cobble the money together, so 17 mph is what it is."
Tracy on Lindsay, "HA! With 10 punches, she gets the Godiva and Narcotics Weekend Fling Basket!"
Gypsy on Lindsay Update, "Agreed @ Classy, love that splotchy self applied Jergan's brand self tanner too."
Gypsy on Married to Medicine, "I think we should institute the phrase whenever someone hits a ten mark since this show is still catching on… OR, 15… CATCH FIYAH! (That means, go to hell)"
Tracy on Amazing Reese, "I think some pepper spray would've settled her ass right down."

Festival draws people back
LA HABRA As a high school band paraded down La Habra Boulevard on Saturday, Debbie Dominguez stood along the crowded sidewalk with thousands of other parade watchers, smiling at the procession and waving at familiar faces.
This has become a tradition for Dominguez, 40, of Hacienda Heights, who grew up in La Habra and has been attending the La Habra Corn Festival Parade since she was a little girl.
"If you come as a child, you tend to come back," she said.
Dominguez's father has lived in the area for more than 65 years, and she finds it touching that he continues to invite her back for the parade, rekindling childhood memories. The city's "small town feel" is apparent in such community-oriented events, drawing out families and residents of all ages.
"We live in a society that is very media focused where you don't need to interact, but this gives you an opportunity to come out and see who you live with," Dominguez said.
The parade is one of several activities taking place this weekend during the 65th annual La Habra Corn Festival at El Centro Lions Park, a three-day event attracting thousands of local residents. Hosted by the La Habra Lions Club, it has grown to become the city's largest fundraising festival, with proceeds benefiting local charities.
The festivities included numerous contests – corn eating, cutest baby, doggie costume and apple pie baking, as well as rides and game booths. All food vendors at the festival are nonprofit organizations, and nearly a dozen live entertainment acts are performing over the weekend. Visitors also had the opportunity to enter a raffle for a new Ford F-150 and meet Miss La Habra and her court.
As per tradition, 14,000 ears of corn freshly picked Wednesday were driven down from the Stockton area for the festival.
"When they started the corn festival, most people were from the Midwest. They wanted a community event to raise money for charities, and corn is what they knew," said Randy McMillan, 64, a 56-year city resident and 25-year member and past president of the local Lions Club.
KTLA/5 weekend news anchors Chris Burrous, Lu Parker and Liberte Chan were the grand marshals; the parade had about 90 entries.
The corn festival has become a family event for La Habra resident Bridget Vornholt, 44, who watched the parade with her two young children as well as her friend Krissy Rushing, 38, of Fullerton and her father Bill Donoghue, 81, of Anaheim. She said she has brought her kids to the festival for five years because there is something for everyone and it's a great local community event.
"It makes it feel like La Habra is a town rather than a suburb of ... all these larger cities," Vornholt said.
The festival creates a sense of nostalgia, Donoghue said, because it is reminiscent of the time his own children used to watch him in the Anaheim parade as a member of the Anaheim Police Department.
"It establishes a tradition, which is good," he said.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-1593) Optimizations to TopScoreDocCollector and TopFieldCollector
|Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:44:30 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1593?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12702417#action_12702417 ] Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-1593: -------------------------------------------- bq. I tried to move to pre-populate the queue in TFC, but that proved to be impossible (unless I missed something) I think it should work fine, for most types, because we'd set docID (the tie breaker) to Integer.MAX_VALUE. No special additional if is then required, since that entry would always compare at the bottom? For String we should be able to use U+FFFF. bq. So I debugged it and either the test works fine but there's a bug in MultiSearcher, or the test does not work fine (or should be adjusted) but then we'll be changing runtime behavior of Sort (e.g., everyone who used setSort might get undesired behavior, only in MultiSearcher). Hmm -- good catch! I think this is in fact a bug in MultiSearcher (AEB is the right answer): it's failing to "break ties" (by docID) properly. Ie, it will not "match" what IndexSearcher(MultiSegmentReader(...)) will do. I think we could fix this by allowing one to pass in a docbase when searching? Though that's a more involved change... could you open a new issue for this one? bq. I think that's wrong in the first place, we should always have predicted tests output, since we're not involving any randomness in that code. I agree -- let's fix it to be a deterministic test? > Optimizations to TopScoreDocCollector and TopFieldCollector > ----------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1593 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1593 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Search > Reporter: Shai Erera > Fix For: 2.9 > > > This is a spin-off of LUCENE-1575 and proposes to optimize TSDC and TFC code to remove unnecessary checks. The plan is: > # Ensure that IndexSearcher returns segements in increasing doc Id order, instead of numDocs(). > # Change TSDC and TFC's code to not use the doc id as a tie breaker. New docs will always have larger ids and therefore cannot compete. > # Pre-populate HitQueue with sentinel values in TSDC (score = Float.NEG_INF) and remove the check if reusableSD == null. > # Also move to use "changing top" and then call adjustTop(), in case we update the queue. > # some methods in Sort explicitly add SortField.FIELD_DOC as a "tie breaker" for the last SortField. But, doing so should not be necessary (since we already break ties by docID), and is in fact less efficient (once the above optimization is in). > # Investigate PQ - can we deprecate insert() and have only insertWithOverflow()? Add a addDummyObjects method which will populate the queue without "arranging" it, just store the objects in the array (this can be used to pre-populate sentinel values)? > I will post a patch as well as some perf measurements as soon as I have them. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com
