HISTORY AND UPDATES -------------------------- 04/28/05 - Began writing the FAQ. 07/01/05 - Decided to put it up on Game FAQs even though it's unfinished. 12/19/05 - I'm still alive! Slowly adding some more. It'd be great to get some help! 06/26/07 - Added a bit more..this'll take forever, methinks! 03/18/08 - Changed up a few things, polish up what I have so far. -------------------------- II. PURPOSE OF FAQ -------------------------- Breath of Fire II's English translation for the most part was very poorly done, but the overall story was still easy to understand. Being a diehard Breath of Fire fan, I figured that this could help people trying to tran- slate the game, and help other people find some quotes from this game. In a way, this FAQ also shows the half-assed job the translation team did for, in my opinion, the best SNES RPG ever. When I finish writing this FAQ, I think my geekiness will soar to a new level. Seeing as it will take me quite a long time to do this script, any help would be appreciated. Give me an e-mail and we can discuss it. -------------------------- III. READING THE SCRIPT -------------------------- I will be using different symbols throughout the script to make it easier to understand. < > = Name of speaker { } = red text __ = scene description, character actions ¯¯ :: = choices >> = trigger for specific events Note: I will be using the Hero's default/real name, Ryu. -------------------------- IV.

Orphans like us have to do any- thing we can to survive. ...... God will forgive us for such a small thing like stealing.. But, if you don't want to come, I'm not going to insist. You can live in this little village quietly and pray to God! I'll see you around! _____________________________________________________________________ He leaves.

Let me see you open the gate .. destined child and .. that is when you will know the strength of God!! __________________________________________________________________________ The screen goes black and the finals words of the Prologue are slowly displayed. An interlude plays. As this goes on you see dark towers in the background and flashes of thunder. The screen begins to rise up as this goes on. Text scrolls... ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ It was like waking from a long dream... But, now his father and sister have disappeared and no one else recognizes him... He dreamt of a horrific demon who ripped his heart and body apart... But it remains just a dream. Yet, the vision remains strong. Deep within the corners of his mind, he hears it calling. A different world... A world of silence... A world of darkness. He moves toward it, feeling both fear and exhilaration. He succumbs and the darkness welcomes him. " You are the one " The demon screeches, reaching deep within his own heart, he realizes that it is true. Then, in that moment, reality washes away and the dream begins to take shape...

I will get your treasure "{The magic hood}" back for you! <Kilgore> Oh! Thank you! Can you go now!? ____________________________________________ Kilgore leaves, Bow turns to Ryu in his bed. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> ...... There's no sense in waking him up. Since we were kids, I was always better at stealing anyway ...... _________________________ The scene fades to black. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ________________________________________ Ryu wakes up and finds that Bow is gone. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ________ Outside ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Man> A burglar broke into Trout's house They are saying that Bow is the thief That can't be true. <Blue Guard at South Entrance> No, you can't pass Ryu! No one can leave because a burglar broke into Trout's house! But I can't believe that the thief is Bow .. <Light Blue Guard at the Dragon Statue> No! No one is allowed to enter or leave until the burglar is found!! _____________________________________________________________________________ As Ryu goes north up to an intersection, a winged, blue-haired girl runs and bumps into him. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Girl> Oh, excuse me! __________________________________ She runs off to the east entrance. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Blue Guard 1 at East Entrance> No! No one is allowed to enter or leave until the burglar is found!! <Blue Guard 2 at East Entrance> The exits of the village have been secured The only way the criminal can get away is by flying. <Blue Guard near Trout's house> Hey you! You didn't find Bow ? That dog, We finally see him as he really is! <Blue Guard at Trout's Door> You're Ryu? .. your buddy Bow stole Trout's treasure! I'm going to capture him and throw him in jail. If you see Bow , tell him what I said! _______________________ Inside Kilgore's house. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Maid 1> Trout will do anything to increase his fortune.. He is capable of anything.. Bow was probably framed. <Maid 2> I'm not taking my master's side but Trout is a terrible man.. He is so cheap that he doesn't even have a maid! <Man> The master is very regretful that he asked Bow to do that job But, the fact is,Trout was wrong to steal the master's treasures.. ______________________________________________ Outside, Kilgore stands in front of his house. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Kilgore> I'm sorry Ryu.. I'm the one that asked Bow to go into the Trout house! It's my fault that Bow is being treated like the bad guy..! Please! Ryu! save Bow !! _____________________________________________________________________________ When Ryu returns to his apartment, Bow is standing in the middle of the room. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> ..I'm sorry, Ryu We're really in a mess now.. Do you think I stole anything? :: Yes <Bow> ..There is nothing I can do if you feel that way Yes, I did break into that house.. But, I didn't steal anything. Believe me! :: No <Bow> It's true! I broke into the Trout house because Kilgore asked me to! But I'm not the one that robbed the house. Please believe me, Ryu! :: No <Bow> ...... it is true that it is wrong to break into someone's house.. But, let me explain.. :: No <Bow> Oh, thank you! Ryu! I knew that you would believe me! This is what actually happened.. __________________________________________ Flashback of Bow inside Trout's household. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> ..I was trying to get what Kilgore asked me to get.. ____________________________________________________ Bow turns at the end of a corridor and goes forward. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> I was asked to take the "Magic hood", and I had no intention of taking anything else..My understanding was that it belonged to Kilgore.. and that Trout stole it from him.. ____________________________________________________________________________ Bow goes up to a door at the end of the corridor and turns to his left, then right, then faces the door again. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> I was taking back what was stolen so it wasn't a bad thing.. I told myself this and when I tried to open the warehouse lock, that's when it happened! ________________________________________________________________________ The blue-haired, winged girl barges through the door and bumps into Bow. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Girl> Oh, excuse me! _______________________________________ She runs off, Bow watches her run away. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> I looked into the warehouse.. _______________________ Bow runs into the room. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> ..It was empty The girl I just saw took everything! ..Of course, including the "Magic hood"!! ______________________________ Bow reappears in the corridor. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> I had no choice but to try and run.. But..!! _____________________________________________________________________________ Bow turns around and see's 2 guards in light blue. He runs past them and they bump into each other. Thus ends the flashback. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> And, that's how you became the suspect.. We've got to find the girl We have to find her and prove my innocence.. ...... __________________________________________________________________________ A blue guard knocks at the duo's door, an exclamation mark appears above Bow's head. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> Wait! Someone's coming!! ________________________________________________________________ Bow paces back and forth, he then stops in front of a trash can. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> Ryu! I'm going to hide in the trash! Get rid of them for me! ________________________________________________________________ Bow gets into the trash can, the blue guard walks into the room. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Soldier> ..Where did Bow go? You're making a mistake to hide him! _________________________________________________________ Soldier frantically begins searching for him, then stops. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Soldier> Well! He doesn't seem to be here.. But, if he comes back, tell him! He can't escape this town.. I'll catch him no matter what it takes!! _______________________________________________________________________ The soldier leaves, sweat icons appear above Ryu's head and Bow's. Bow hobbles over to Ryu while in the trash. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> Boy, that was close What shall we do? They're totally convinced that I did it...... How can I escape? ___________________________________________________________________________ Bow hobbles around Ryu, then stops, and an exclamation point appears above him. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> I got it! Ryu! Take me away like this! Then.. I'll ask the old man to hide me! You remember! Niro from Ruins! Do you remember? West of Mt. Fubi.. :: Yes <Bow> ..I'm sorry buddy! I know it will be tough climbing to Mt. Fubi carrying this trash can. But you're the only person I can rely on..! :: No <Bow> The town Ruins where we found Suzy. It's on the other side of the south town!? ___________________________________________________________________________ Bow now trails behind Ryu, hobbling along in the green trash can, when they reach the Blue guard at the south entrance... ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Gatekeeper> Hey, no no Ryu you can't leave town What are you holding? :: Trash <Gatekeeper> Oh, it's just trash.. The trash is going to smell.. Go throw it away before the soldiers see you :: ComicBk <Gatekeeper> What {Comic} books!? Oh.. Oh, and you're going to throw it away.. Will you tell me where you threw it away later..? Ah,there's no real reason.. :: Bow <Gatekeeper> ......on second thought..I feel sorry for you, but I can't let you go! ..That's what I'm suppose to say.. But.. go ahead I don't think that Bow is the bad guy ..Don't worry, the truth will come out in the end! __________________________________ Afterwards, if you speak to him.. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Gatekeeper> Don't tell anyone that I let the two of you go.. ========================= 8. Back to Niro #hfa ========================= __________________________________________________________ Outside the ruined house, Bow finally exits the trash can. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> Boy it was tight in there ..and it smelled so bad! ..Thank you, Ryu ___________________ Niro comes outside. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Niro> Oh, it's you guys again.. I haven't eaten anything all day today. <Bow> Oh no.. I'll figure something out for food I was hoping that you would let me hide out here _________________________________________ A question mark appears over Niro's head. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> Listen to our story! ________________________________________________________________ The scene shifts to Bow, Ryu, and Niro inside his damaged house. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Niro> I see.. you've been {falsely charged}.. And, you want to hide here _______________________ Bow walks over to Niro. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> Right.. I'm counting on you to help me until Ryu finds the real crook <Niro> Ok, ok.. actually your timing is perfect ________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly debris from the ceiling falls down and smashes onto the floors, Ryu, Bow, and Niro have sweat icons over their heads. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Niro> The roof has been coming apart lately and I needed someone to help me fix it <Bow> By helper, do you mean me? <Niro> ..If you don't want me to snitch.. you better work hard! Ha ha ha ______________________ Bow walks back to Ryu. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> ...... Ha ha ha ha It looks like I have no choice but to help him. <Niro> Actually I would really prefer that you both help me.. But I guess it's best for Ryu to go and find the bad guy.. <Bow> That's true.. If we don't find the real female thief.. I'll have to hide forever <Niro> ..You would never forget a female thief who looks like a bat If you ask around about a "suspicious woman" at HomeTown, or Coursair, You should be able to get some ideas.. ___________________ The music stops... ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Bow> Ryu.., I've really caused a lot of trouble for you.. Ever since we were kids, I was the one that always got carried away and got us in trouble.. Please find her for me! buddy.... Then we can work together again! ________________________________________________ New music, a rather hopeful, heroic tune, plays. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ __________________________ Back at Hometown, Outside ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ <Blue Guard at South Entrance> What? A Woman with wings? Are you talking about the girl from M. School?

There is a Coliseum there and a fight Coursair is northeast of here <Woman in Blue> The Trout house has been burglarized I am going to have the Ranger secure the house <Silvia> ..It gets pretty lonely when someone who talks as much as Bow disappears.. <Man near books> Nobody believes that Bow has done anything bad.. You must do what you can to prove your friend's innocence! <Elder> There isn't a single person that suspects that Bow is guilty, but I don't suppose Trout will forgive him.. There is no other option but to find the real culprit to prove your buddy's innocence.. ========================= 9.

Australian television has a long and lustrous history of quality television drama production, along with which go the numerous family groups, both perfect and imperfect.
With many of them loved the around the world, here are our favourite Australian TV families!
The Rafters on Packed to the Rafters
Seven's hit drama frequently pulls in close to two million viewers per episode, and is a mainstay of Seven's schedule.
So much of the show's success is down to the realistic family dynamic that is shown on screen, with its family-orientated comedy/drama garnering as much popularity as other big hitters such as MasterChef Australia.
Focusing on the nuclear family of Dave and Julie Rafter (Erik ThomsonRebecca Gibney and their three children Rachel (Jessica Marais), Ben (Hugh Sheridan) and Nathan (Angus McLaren), who boomerang back into the family home in their mid-twenties following relationship breakdowns and unemployment, quietly destroying their parents peaceful retirement plans.
Hailed for its realistic portrayal of daily suburban existence and a top notch script -- which is often lacking in Aussie drama -- the light-hearted tone, and sometimes controversial topics clearly call out to the public at large.
The Day-Knight/Craigs on Kath & Kim
Iconic Aussie comedy Kath & Kim has won numerous Logie Awards and even had the misfortune of being afflicted with a failed American remake of the same name.
Written by, and starring Jane Turner and Gina Riley who play the title characters, Kath Day-Knight and Kim Craig: a suburban mother and daughter with one of the most dysfunctional and haphazard relationships seen on comedy screens for sometime.
Premiering on the ABC in 2002, the show became an instant hit, as the exaggerated relationship between mother and daughter struck chords throughout Australia and the world.
Together with Kath's lothario boyfriend and husband Kel (Glenn Robbins, and her clunky and awkward best friend Sharon Strzelecki (Magda Szubanski), the group deal with fashion, clubbing, drug use and interior design -- all in their own special and chaotic ways.
Establishing as many catchphrases as Little Britain and Monty Python, the likeability of the central family propelled Kath & Kim to become a marketing juggernaut.
The Fletchers on Home & Away
One of the most enduring families on the Australian small screen, the Fletchers were the back bone of internationally syndicated soap Home & Away for over 20 years.
Originally comprised of Summer Bay residents Pippa and Tom Fletcher (Vanessa Downing/Debra Lawrance and Roger Oakley -- they had previously flexed their philanthropic prowess by becoming frequent foster parents, bring to the program numerous children, including Sally Keating (Kate Ritchie), who become one of the mainstays of the soap.
Pippa was portrayed by two different actresses in the character's time on the show, Vanessa Downing from 1988 to 1990, Debra Lawrance from 1990 to 1998, and then with numerous guest appearances up to 2009.
Richie appeared in the pilot episode on January 17, 1988, spending 20 years on the soap until April 3, 2008. Notable story arcs for her character included dating Scott Irwin (Heath Ledger), dealing with sudden infant death syndrome, and armed robbers. Richie has since moved her career to another successful Australian drama, Cops L.A.C.
The Twists on Round The Twist
One for the kids -- Round The Twist's family is certainly one of the more eccentric in the history of Australian drama.
Just four seasons of the program were made, although they were spread out over 11 years, allowing the show to become iconic to a huge cross-demographic of kids coming home from school.
As a result of the long duration of the series' run -- the cast have changed numerous times, although the enduring family set up of widower father, twin children and a loner youngster obsessed with food and smell is seemingly the perfect package to be loved around the world.
Ghost fighting, becoming superheroes and entering into political office have all been a feature of this comedy drama that captured the hearts of viewers, if only with it's
The Jacksons on Love My Way
Before the glory days of James Cameron's Avatar, Sam Worthington was ab core component of the extended family unit on Love My Way.
Focusing on a group of thirty-somethings dealing with the trials and tribulations of separated parents, estranged siblings and on-off lovers.
Also starring Dan Wyllie, Asher Keddie, Brendan Cowell, and Alex Cook, the program only broadcast on pay TV, allowing it to be foul mouthed, drug addled and highly sexed -- just like every good Australian family should be!
The Kovacs on Tangle
Broadcast exclusively on the pay TV channel Showcase, Tangle focuses on the lives of two generations of two families and their tangled and complicated lives.
Revolving around the interactions of the Kovac and Williams families, the show has been highly lauded by critics and award shows alike, reaping their fair share of ASTRA Awards.
The show is centred around the return of character Nat Manning (Kat Stewart) to her old stomping ground in Melbourne after ten years in England.
Her return to old friends and families lives results in a serious stir as years of memories and and repressed emotions are released in a deluge.
Ally (Justine Clarke) is the commited wife of builder Vince (Ben Mendelsohn), mother of Romeo (Lincoln Younes) and Gigi (Eva Lazzaro).
Also starring Catherine McClements and Matt Day, the never ending cycles of sexual tension and hidden hatred revolves around the Kovac family, proving to be both productive and destructive in equal measure.
The Proudmans on Offspring
Offspring premiered on Network TEN in August 2010. Focused upon 30-something obstetrician Nina Proudman (Asher Keddie) and her family, as they weave and duck through the obstacles thrown up at them by modern life.
Blending comedy with flashbacks and graphic sequences (a la Ally McBeal), the show was originally intended as a two-hour telemovie, but quickly expanded into a 13 episode season -- marketed heavily through iTunes, highlighting its youthful target demographic.
Starring Asher Keddie (Nina Proudman), Don Hany (Chris Havel), Kat Stewart (Billie Proudman) Eddie Perfect (Mick Holland) and Deborah Mailman (Cherie Butterfield), the show provides a lighter side of Australian life in the face of domestic misery portrayed on other shows.
The Kennedys on Neighbours
Launching the careers of Alan Fletcher, Jackie Woodburne, Benjamin McNair, Kym Valentine, Jesse Spencer and is the Kennedy family -- the backbone of the soap that has seen each family involved in every bizarre situation you can possibly imagine.
Originally introduced in 1994, Neighbours' storyliners felt the need to create a more traditional family unit, in the face of a street full of singletons and crazies.
Introducing community stalwarts Karl Kennedy, the GP, and Susan, the teacher -- the family was quickly a central focus of Erinsborough community life.
With the three young actors quickly becoming teen idols, the introduction of the family solidified the popularity of the show amongst the viewing public, both at home and overseas.
Family life has not remained quite to consistent in recent years however, with affairs, amnesia, death and Karl Kennedy's ever inflating ego taking the sheen from the once golden family.

10 tips on staying fit this winter
Posted Sun, 15th Dec 2013
Through the winter months it's always hard to keep on track with your exercise regime... The days get shorter and darker & we seem to push the exercise to one side. Here are your Top 10 Tips to keep you motivated through the winter months and keep on track with your daily routine!
1. Buy some new gear!
Even though it's nearly Christmas why not treat yourself to some new gear for the gym! Invest in a thermal top or running tights and head outside and send those endorphins flying!
2. Write a journal
Tracking your progress whether it's weight, run times or strength is a great way to see whether you are improving, maintaining or dropping... Keeping this logged is sure to keep you motivated to increase your score, drop more weight or run faster!
3. Family days out
Doing physical activity with other people especially your family will make it more enjoyable and it doesn't have to be hard work. Evening walks, ice skating, a family bike ride. Try to spend as much time outside ( but make sure to wrap up warm! )
4. Healthy Eating/Planning
The dark early evening start to kick in and we all want to sit on the sofa and tuck into a warming meal and relax.. To help with weight management try to plan meals for the week so your not picking at mince pies and chocolates! Cook up some winter seasonal vegetables make into soups or casseroles!
5. Summer body in the winter
A summer body needs to be created and earn't in the winter. Picture it! Visualise what you want to be looking like through the summer and hold onto that when motivation levels start to drop!
6. Plan a holiday!
What better way to stay motivated to exercise in the winter months than the horrifying thought of having to go on holiday in swim wear which doesn't show off the physique you really desire!
7. Try something new!
Changing up your exercise regime always makes a difference to your motivation levels when your interest starts to drop and you crave something new. Join a new class, find a fitness buddy or seek out personal training assistance. Having someone along side you will always increase motivational levels and get you closer to your goal!
8. Enter an event
Having a event in the callander for the following year is always a good reminder of what your working towards! Set goals and drive to achieve them!
9. Cycle to work
This won't account for all of you but if you live fairly close to work cycling is a great way to lose weight and releasing those endorphins in the morning to set you up for the day! Remember to wrap up warm, use a light and safety equipment.
If you do brave the rain, wind and cold then you've thoroughly deserved a slice of cake. What better reason for getting out in the winter than looking forward to some cake and everyone knows cake tastes better after a epic bike ride or challenge run!

(ABC News) (Newser) – Marla Cooper (yes, Cooper) says she knows the true identity of "skyjacker" DB Cooper: His name was Lynn Doyle Cooper, known to family members as LD, and he was her uncle, Marla tells ABC News. She recalls a suspicious conversation between LD and another uncle she overheard as an 8-year-old while at her grandmother's Oregon home. They "were planning something very mischievous. I was watching them using some very expensive walkie-talkies that they had purchased. They left to supposedly go turkey hunting." The next day the plane was hijacked, and LD arrived home "bloody and bruised and a mess," saying he had been in a car accident, she says. "I was horrified. I began to cry. My other uncle, who was with LD, said Marla just shut up and go get your dad." She says she also heard her uncle say "we did it, our money problems are over, we hijacked an airplane." Except much of the money was apparently lost, and she says her uncles wanted to search for it. She never saw LD again, and was told he died in 1999. Marla says she was the one who gave the FBI its "promising lead." She's also apparently working on a book on the subject, but says that's not why she's coming forward. (Read more DB Cooper stories.)

Phasing out of live exports to go to Labor vote
The Northern Territory's Chief Veterinary Officer says another ban on live cattle exports would have terrible consequences for the Territory.
A motion to phase out the live export trade will be moved at the Labor Party's national conference in early December.
The motion will push for live exports to be phased out, and for a mandatory requirement that all animals slaughtered overseas should be stunned until that happens.
The Terrirory's chief vet, Dr Brian Radunz, says stunning does not guarantee the welfare of animals destined for international abattoirs.
"The Northern Territory Government supports the compliance with international rules which doesn't require stunning so they are the international rules so they should be adopted," Dr Radunz said.
"Just because there's stunning in place that doesn't mean there's good handling of the animals so we really should be looking at the whole animal welfare continuum not just the stunning of animals."

Did the Senate go too easy on the JPMorgan CEO?
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon appeared Wednesday before the Senate Banking Committee and was treated with kid gloves.
Mr. Dimon ostensibly was there to explain how his bank – which has the most in assets of any American bank – lost at least $2 billion in a series of trades involving very complex derivatives.
The senators might have grilled him for details on exactly what went wrong so they could see if current regulations are sufficient. Mr. Dimon has been a vociferous critic of regulations.
Senators might have grilled him on exactly how his company disclosed the losses – JPMorgan seems to have sat on the bad news a bit.
After all, Congress has been pretty tough on other Wall Street figures, including Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein and Jon Corzine, the former New Jersey governor whose busted MF Global is strongly suspected of illegal activity.
For all his innate confidence bordering on arrogance, Mr. Dimon was at least contrite about JPMorgan's faults this time. In fact, he's been pretty blunt ever since admitting the errors, at one point calling them "stupid."
That candor might have something to do with his easy treatment. But it probably doesn't excuse Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., from fawningly noting that, "You appear to be in much better fiscal shape than we are as a country" and accusing the United States of losing $2 billion every day.

2. The pioneer work in the field of studying physics of instruments was done by Sir CV Raman, a noble prize winner for his discovery of 'Raman effect'?
Scientific papers by Sir CV Raman include 'Acoustics'(Volume 2). The volume includes six remarkable papers on the acoustics of Indian musical instruments–the mridangam and tabla, the only percussion instruments in the world that produce harmonic vibrations, and the tanpura and veena.
3. The violin is basically a Western instrument, modified to suit the requirements of Indian music? And that the bow of the violin uses horse's hair?

Federal Government of Nigeria has commenced the process of mainstreaming and domesticating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into national and sub-national development plans according to Senior Special Assistant to the President on SDGs, Mrs Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire.
At the Validation Workshop of the Baseline Indicators for Monitoring the Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Nigeria, Mrs Orelope-Adefulire that her office is working with the Federal Ministry of Budget and National Planning to integrate the SDGs into the recently launched Economic Recovery and Development Olan (ERPG) of government.
She explained that her office was also reviewing implementation manual at sub-national levels with the view to ensuring that SDGs implementation are fast-tracked at the states and local government levels.
The Statistician General of the Federation, Dr Yemi Kale explained that Nigeria was the first country in Africa to produce data for the monitoring of SDGs while mentioning that the early development of measuring data for SDGs marked a clear departure from the MDGs experience. This, he said, made it extremely difficult to track progress accurately.
SDGs comprise 17 goals, 169 targets and 230 indicators launched by 193 Heads of Government including Nigeria at the 70th session of UN General Assembly in September 2015. It is the successor to the Millennium Development Goals (2000–2015) and seeks to foster inclusive development, while addressing the economic, environmental and social aspects of sustainable development.
But will the Buhari Administration still be around by 2020?

Ordered Sunday Brunch Vegie Omelet that was supposed to have peppers, etc. Omelet base was likely scrambled egg mix, very few vegies - all embedded in the scrambled egg mix, and fried hard. UGH! The accompanying cubed potatoes were rubbery & who likes that? The black beans were luke-warm. This used to be an excellent restaurant, but BOY has it deteriorated. That will be my last visit.
Service and food were both excellent . This is now a new favorite. My wife and i had never been and our server knew the menu well.
6 out of 11 guests did not like their food. No spice, to dry, served warm. Prices were from to much toi outrageous. Margarita's excellent but small and expensive. $2.00 to smother a burrito, $9.00 for guacamole that was delicious. Service and atmoshere were excellent.
Preston is right. This is the only place I've ever been to where I didn't even like the chips and salsa (the salsa was terrible). Clever name, and that's all.
This is our favorite Park City restaurant. We moved to Park City from Denver, which has great Mexican food. Loco Lizard is as good as Mexican gets without going to Mexico. Our favorite dishes: chicken mole, shrimp enchiladas suiza, chili rellenos, all the fajitas. I love ceviche, and this version is so fresh (that's the key) and served beautifully. Everyone in my family has their own favorite sauce, and the homemade salsas are great on everything. My teenage son orders something different every time and announces it's the best thing on the menu. The margaritas are yummy (especially the mangorita) and the nightly specials are a bargain. When the place is full we get great food service at the bar. We bring friends to Loco Lizard because it is the only restaurant we have found in Park City that is: ALWAYS delicious, reasonably priced, great service in a casual setting, easy to access and park. They catered our company holiday party (120 people) and everyone talked about the food all night. On price: I think it's very reasonable. I don't compare a full-service restaurant like Loco Lizard to places like Cafe Rio or Chipotle, since they are completely different in every way, not just price. I keep thinking we'll find other reliable casual restaurants in town, but we are always disappointed. I suppose in a vacation town a lot of places don't quite appreciate that the locals are the key because they come in the off-season. Loco Lizard delivered the exact same quality and service in the middle of Christmas week as it did mid-week in October when the town was vacant. That's my version of reliable.
Hands down the best Mexican food I have ever had. I have gone here several times and every single time the service is great and the staff are so friendly and accommodating. The shredded beef and the fajitas are so delicious. I would not miss out on this place!
I went for Taco Tuesday and they were delicious! We came in late, just before closing, and most restraunts don't treat you well when your the last table... but they were friendly, welcome, and the service was excellent!
Cannot believe the 2 other reviews. Trust me .. the food is not very good. Go elsewhere.
Loco Lizard is one of my favorites spots to visit when I come to Park City. The Shrimp Nachos are as delicious as they are unique. The nachos come served more like tiny pizza slices rather than a dish of sloppy wet chips that you would normally expect. I might add that these are a great combination with the cadillac margs!
The chocolate cake dessert will blow your mind.

Despite consolidation, the shopping center industry remains dominated by what are now second and third generation family businesses. Driven by largely local entrepreneurs, the "Malling of America†began in the 1950s and continued through the 1980s. Today, family owners and managers face new strategic challenges but emphasize methods and values learned from parents and grandparents. The lessons are about what might be the "3 Rs " of family business – Relationships, Reputation and managing Risk – and about maintaining a long-term perspective. Relationships Family businesses are built on relationships. What begins in the family extends to employees, customers, suppliers and the community. Retailers are what shopping malls are about and relationships with them are key to success. Many family-owned mall developers report that they are relationship-driven, doing business across generations with retailers who lease space. These relationships result not only in steady income, but in the ability to identify and evaluate opportunities. New malls often grow from existing clients suggesting new locations. Acquisitions can be better evaluated with information from existing clients who may be in the targeted property. "What we talk about and what we think about is how we can keep improving relationships with our customers,†says second-generation president Richard Baker of National Realty & Development Corp. "We don't talk about making money; we talk about building relationshipsâ€. Reputation Client relationships, of course, are built and maintained through focus on the customer, honesty and integrity – the elements of building an outstanding reputation. "The single greatest lesson the founding generation passed on is the commitment to building and maintaining our reputation. Our founders never set out to be the biggest developer or the largest owner of shopping center properties, they were committed to building shopping centers which would [reinforce] our reputation,†says James Ratner, CEO of Forest City Commercial Group in Chain Store Age. "The word 'reputation' might as well have been carved above the door.†Risk Aronov Realty of Montgomery, AL, is among the south's largest shopping center developers, is run by second-generation brothers Jack and Owen Aronov. "Our father stressed,' Don't worry about success, worry about doing what's right. If we're serving our tenants and shoppers, success will follow.†Aaron Aronov also taught his sons another lesson echoed throughout the industry and in successful family businesses everywhere: "Risk only what you can afford to lose.' We were taught to be aggressive but also to be financially responsible.†Michael Konover, Chairman and CEO of Konover & Associates, founded by his father in 1959, offers a cautionary tale on managing risk. When Ames Department Stores went bankrupt in 1990, 32 Konover-owned locations were hit. "It happened at the worst possible time, just about the beginning of the banking crisis.†The company, however, was careful to maintain a solid financial structure, chose excellent locations, and build efficient, not overly specialized stores. What could have been a financial disaster instead allowed Konover to "come out even better in the end.†Building and maintaining relationships across generations, holding reputation sacred and behaving in ways that enhance and protect the family name, and taking prudent risks which foster growth without endangering the enterprise are the ingredients of a recipe for long-term success. The family businesses that continue to dominate the shopping center industry are living proof. (Information in the article came in part from "Mall in the Family,†Chain Store Age, May 1, 2001.)

I was so impressed with my previous dress from Fleet Collection that I couldn't resist going back for more! I've been on the hunt for more casual dresses and these fit perfectly into my wardrobe. I ordered the Coquette and the Derica, which I'll be talking about as two separate reviews.
The Coquette looks like the perfect casual dress that could also be used for work purposes. I ordered it in the jade color since it was a better fit for all seasons. While most people have separate wardrobes for each season, Southerners tend to buy with year round wear in mind and then add layers when it gets slightly chillier. I ordered the dress in an XL, which is also the largest size that Fleet Collection makes.
This dress is totally gorgeous while still being modest enough to get you through all kinds of social situations. I really like the tiny white ruffles around the skirt to break up the solid color. I'm always looking for dresses which are fashionable but still covered up enough for professional stuff, so this dress fits the bill perfectly. It's very boob friendly from both the front and the back. Like my other Fleet Collection dress, the fabric is a high quality medium weight knit.
My only tiny complaint about this dress is that like many, the armholes are larger and show your bra a smidge if you're on the busty side. This doesn't matter when I'm wearing it with a cardigan, but it does mean I'll have to wear a nude bra with it during the hot months.
Considering that Fleet Collection isn't a full bust specific brand, I'm really impressed with their offerings. They're a very budget friendly brand (this dress was $68) and their pieces look far more expensive than they actually are. I'd definitely recommend them to anyone in the size range and I'm hoping that they'll start making a wider range of sizes sooner rather than later!
