Approval of Minutes
The minutes of the May 7, 1998 3:15 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. meetings were approved as distributed.
II. Administrative Report
Dr. Jim Pitts gave the Administrative Report.
Although UNCA's student headcount has not increased, the full-time equivalent (FTE) enrollment has increased 2 percent over last year at this time. This is a significant increase for a small school. Enrollment is 57 FTE above the bottom of the 2 percent enrollment window. Dr. Pitts attributed the increase to the number of students taking full course loads. The official FTE for Fall 1998 is 2,712 compared to 2,660 for Fall 1997. The annualized FTE (fall and spring) will likely be 2,640+.
It appears that UNCA will see significant improvement in resources next year, based on FTEs for this year and last year, and GA's new method of measuring student demand. Instead of the traditional requirement of 12 hours per student FTE, GA is now measuring student credit hours generated. UNCA will benefit from this change as we are generating more semester hours and attracting students who are taking full course loads.
Reassigned Time
Dr. Pitts distributed a memorandum on reassigned time and asked the senators to read the memo before he responded to questions. The memo was sent via E-mail earlier today. There was a brief delay in the meeting while the memo was read.
A summary of the ensuing discussion follows. The University is $150K to $175K short in adjunct funds for Spring 1999. Several factors have encroached on funds usually retained for adjuncts; after considering faculty replacements, off campus scholarly assignments, and personnel shifts due to faculty retirements, the instructional budget was impacted in unanticipated ways. UNCA also spent an additional $50K this fall due to a substantial increase in enrollment. Student demand is approximately 90 courses above those which full-time adjunct faculty are currently scheduled to offer next spring. Dr. Pitts spoke of the importance of students continuing to make progress toward graduation.
After considering activities that could be postponed for a semester, the administration and the Council of Chairs opted to rescind reassignments controlled at the department level. Full-time faculty are being asked to teach full loads in Spring 1999, in an effort to offer the typical spring curriculum. Reassigned time has not been rescinded for Department Chairs and administrators as these responsibilities cannot be postponed, according to Dr. Pitts.
Dr. Pitts explained that approximately 40% of the adjuncts will be affected by this change, either by having reduced teaching loads or by not being on campus at all. As we rapidly reach a full enrollment profile, we must reassess how to regulate reassignment, and assign priorities that fit our resource base.
Although these efforts are intended for Spring 1999 only, the administration is unsure how release time will be managed next year. The Council of Chairs and the Faculty Welfare and Development Committees have been asked to study our reassigned time policy and discuss how to meet student needs with respect to curriculum offerings, budget resources, and the appropriate use of full-time and adjunct teaching resources. Adjuncts currently teach nearly 25% of our curriculum, which everyone agrees is too high. Dr. Pitts agreed with the suggestion that the FWDC needs to consider the impact this will have on faculty being reviewed for tenure and reappointment, as they are expected to have professional activity.
Last year the administration began to gather information to determine where faculty resources are allocated. Although enrollment is stable, the composition is changing rapidly and students are taking more classes. Dr. Phil Weast, Assistant Vice Chancellor of Enrollment Services, has begun to utilize the SIS information base to profile curriculum needs based upon enrollment patterns. Dr. Weast and Dr. Browning will meet with Department Chairs this fall to discuss curriculum needs. In response to a suggestion that administrative leaders with proven teaching talents consider offering a class, Dr. Pitts replied that it was a good suggestion and had been discussed.
Concern was raised that Dr. Pitts' memo failed to mention the tradition of strong departmental decision-making on campus. Dr. Kormanik read a portion of the Reassigned Time Policy found on pages 47 and 48 of the Faculty Handbook. "Faculty may receive reassigned time from the normal twenty-four-hour-per-year teaching responsibilities to meet alternative professional and administrative responsibilities. Normally Departmental Chairs and Program Directors receive reassigned time for duties associated with their administrative appointments . . . " A senator commented that Dr. Pitts' memo implied centralized decision-making and asked that the FWDC consider whether the Reassigned Time Policy will be centralized or not. A primary focus should be the list of priorities on page 48, and whether these decisions are made at the central level or the departmental level, and under what standards. Dr. Kormanik read from the Faculty Handbook: "The Chair/Director is responsible for developing policies and procedures to fairly allocate the reassigned time and for reporting to the VCAA on its use." Dr. Pitts agreed these were all good points.
III. Executive Committee Report
Dr. Gregg Kormanik gave the Executive Committee Report.
Best Wishes for Heidi Kelley
Dr. Kormanik spoke for the Senate and the faculty, in saying that their thoughts and best wishes were with Heidi Kelley and her family, and that they hope for a speedy recovery from her recent stroke.
Past Senate Actions
Dr. Kormanik explained Chancellor Reed's responses to the following Resolutions passed by the Senate last May:
1) Senate Document 3698S read: "The UNCA Faculty Senate does not support UNCA's filing an intent to establish a MAT degree by the July 1, 1998 deadline." Chancellor Reed responded that no intent was being filed.
2) Senate Document 3598S read: "No adjustments to UNCA's Capital Projects Priority List which displaces classroom building construction or renovation will be made without the recommendation of the Faculty Senate." Chancellor Reed responded that to her knowledge, no one has suggested such an adjustment, and in her view the priorities approved by UPC stand as our list. They have been submitted to the BOG, and moreover the BOG has included $3M in the system's legislative budget request for our classroom building.
3) Senate Document 3198S read: "To honor his long and distinguished service to the University of North Carolina at Asheville and its liberal art mission, the Faculty Senate encourages the Chancellor to name the new classroom being constructed in Ramsey Library in honor of Mel Blowers with ceremony commensurate with his many contributions." Chancellor Reed noted that while she was in full agreement with the movement to honor Mel for his extraordinary service, he directly expressed his wish that the naming not occur to her, library staff, and other faculty.
Chancellor Reed asked the Senate to revisit this action and/or advise her of a way to honor Mel that will be consistent with his wishes. The Senate agreed to consider options and discuss this under New Business.
Resignation of Dr. Ruiz
Dr. Ruiz submitted a letter of resignation to the Senate Executive Committee. The Executive Committee accepted his resignation and is working on a written response.
Dr. Kormanik turned the meeting over to Dr. Ghidina to elect an alternate to fill Dr. Ruiz's position, and noted that while the Senate hasn't been following this practice, alternates are to attend the Senate meetings with "voice without vote."
Dr. Rossell asked why Dr. Ruiz resigned from the Senate. Dr. Kormanik read a portion of Dr. Ruiz's letter of resignation which referred to pressing teaching duties, service commitments and large classes which prevented him from being on the Senate. Dr. Rossell asked if this explanation was acceptable. Dr. Kormanik responded that it was a difficult issue. While the Senate Constitution very definitely prescribes who is eligible, and all tenured faculty are eligible for election, it doesn't say anything about resigning after they have been elected. Dr. Ghidina asked Dr. Kormanik if he wanted to give any sense of what the letter he was working on expressed. Dr. Kormanik indicated that he preferred to wait. Dr. Caulfield understood that, according to the Faculty Handbook, a senator couldn't decline to serve if elected. Dr. Kormanik stated that this is an assumption but the Constitution does not mandate this. A tenured faculty member cannot decline to be placed on the ballot, but the Constitution does not say if elected you have to serve.
Dr. Bruce asked to review the Constitution. Dr. Kormanik read a portion of Article 1: All full-time ranked members whose primary responsibility is teaching and all ranked librarians are eligible for election to the Faculty elections ... Tenured faculty members may not decline election to the Senate or to Senate offices, except as described in ARTICLE II Section 2 ... Dr. Kormanik paraphrased Article II, Section 2, explaining that a faculty member may request one year off, then request two additional years. The precedence has been that if someone is going to be off campus, out of the country, or unable to attend meetings, they need to be removed from the ballot.
Dr. Rossell asked if this was the first time someone had declined who is on campus. Dr. Kormanik replied no, Arnold Wengrow resigned at one time and Peg Downes resigned last year.
Pat McClellan was elected to serve Dr. Ruiz's term on the Faculty Senate.
First Second Reading:
The following document was distributed for First Reading:
EC 1: Resolution regarding Post Tenure Review
When the Post Tenure Review policy was adopted by the Faculty Senate in August 1998, the Senate discussed the need to make provisions for reforms and modifications in the policy if the process is to achieve its goals. EC 1 addresses these concerns by directing the FWDC to submit to the Faculty Senate for first reading at its November meeting, the following three items:
1) FWDC will develop guidelines to clearly differentiate the ranking categories listed in Section 3.12.3.
2) FWDC will meet with the VCAA to develop guidelines relating to appropriate awards. (Section 3.12.3. subsection 3.)
3) FWDC will design a procedure through which the PTR committee will make annual reports to FWDC. The purpose of these reports is to allow the PTR committee to comment on Sections 3.12.2 and 3.12.3 of the UNCA Faculty Handbook and allow the committee to make recommendations for revising the procedures to help it make more efficient and effective decisions.
IV. Student Government Association Report
Mr. Stephan Horvath gave the Student Government Report.
The Student Government Association held their goal session at the Kellogg Center this past weekend. A recent article in the Blue Banner reported on the meeting.
V. Academic Policies Report
Dr. Bill Sabo reported for the Academic Policies Committee.
Second Reading
The following documents were considered for second reading:
APC 28 and APC 29 were distributed for First Reading last May.
APC 28: Guidelines for Altering the Titles of Programs of Study Mandated by
Conversion to the CIP Coding System (Sabo/Pons)
This document is a result of a mandate from General Administration. The University of North Carolina system is converting from the old HEGIS-based Academic Program Inventory to the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) coding systems. This conversion alters the meaning of terms UNCA has traditionally used to describe different courses of study. The change will standardize terminology across campus and bring our catalog into line with the guidelines established by GA.
The departments were asked to submit their changes to the APC for review by November 1, 1998. A department which is authorized to offer a "track" and wishes to retain that wording will also notify APC of their decision. APC 28 passed unanimously and became Senate Document 0298F.APC 29: General Education Review (Sabo/Rossell)
Dr. Sabo moved to amend the document by changing the month from "October" to "November." Ms. McKenzie seconded the motion, which passed. APC 29 passed unanimously as amended and became Senate Document 0398F.
VI. Institutional Development Committee/University Planning Council Report:
Dr. Peter Caulfield gave the Institutional Development Committee/University Planning Council report.
The University Planning Council has not had a full committee until today when Ms. McClellan was elected to replace Dr. Ruiz. The group can now coordinate schedules and begin meeting.
Dr. Caulfield and Dr. Gravely set a tentative schedule, which includes an overview of the year's work, especially the self studies in the Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science departments. They hope to begin discussion on Distance and Extension Learning, and on enrollment projections.
The Mathematics Department Self Study was not finalized last year due to scheduling conflicts. The current UPC will make recommendations to the Mathematics Department.
Dr. Gravely will present the new aspects of the funding model to the UPC and discuss several survey results.
Dr. Kormanik asked if Dr. Pitts' request to discuss the proposal to change titles of two Academic Affairs positions was on the agenda. Dr. Caulfield indicated he would add it to the agenda.
VII. Faculty Welfare and Development Committee Report
Dr. Marcia Ghidina gave the Faculty Welfare and Development Committee Report.
Committee Announcements
Dr. Bob Yearout will replace Dr. Heidi Kelley on the Tenure Committee.
Dr. William Bruce has agreed to be the faculty liaison to the Chancellor's Staff Advisory Committee.
The Post Tenure Review Committee election will be held next week. Dr. Ghidina encouraged senators to inform faculty about the importance of the committee.
Election Research Report
After reporting on this issue last spring, Dr. Bruce analyzed additional election data for 1996-98. His concern was directed toward enhancing faculty leadership on campus; the Faculty Senate is a place where leadership can sometimes develop and be expressed. It is important to elect faculty who are interested in serving on the Senate, who have the energy and enthusiasm to serve, and who have a broad base of support in the faculty. This is a first look at the base of support of the faculty for 1996-98. He asked if the Senate wanted the FWDC to continue to work on ways of improving faculty participation and eventually having more faculty voting for those elected.
Dr. Bruce remarked that if colleagues feel they don't have an influence on the Senate election, they may feel the Senate doesn't matter, and that probably isn't good for the health of the faculty. Dr. Caulfield stated that when new faculty receive an election ballot, they normally don't know many faculty on campus; it takes six or seven years of working on committees before faculty know three or four people in each division. On the other hand, the new faculty may vote because they feel more of a sense of responsibility and are not jaded. They then vote for one person from their department and the results are skewed.
There is also the informal way of promoting slates. If twenty faculty coalesce around one slate, they will be elected. And maybe 100 people aren't voting for that slate. Dr. Rossell agreed with Dr. Caulfield's point that many faculty are discouraged because of the slates, and added that it would be helpful to know who is interested in serving. Dr. Sabo remarked that it may be time to revisit how we look at representation. Dr. Gupton added that some universities have one representative from each department. Another suggestion was to have a two-phased process, one to determine interest and another phase to vote among this group. Dr. Kormanik asked the FWDC to consider ways to increase voter participation. In the short term, he suggested that the FWDC increase the turnaround time for Senate ballots.
VllI. Old Business
Dr. Sabo asked Dr. Kormanik to read the previous resolution regarding Mel Blowers' contributions on campus. The resolution was then amended to read as follows:
"To honor his long and distinguished service to the University of North Carolina at Asheville and its liberal arts mission, the Faculty Senate encourages the Chancellor to consult with the library staff to determine an appropriate way to recognize Mel Blowers' many contributions."
Dr. Sabo moved to approve the resolution which was seconded by Ms. McClellan. The resolution passed unanimously and became Senate Document 0498F.
IX. New Business
Ms. Pat McClellan will replace Dr. Ruiz on IDC/UPC.
X. Adjournment
Dr. Kormanik adjourned the meeting at 4:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted by: Sandra Gravely

Schroeder, Merkel meet to resolve chancellor dispute
By Iain Rogers
BERLIN (Reuters) - Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and
conservative leader Angela Merkel meet on Sunday to resolve a
bitter dispute over who should lead Germany and to lay the
foundations of a coalition government of their rival parties.
Christian Democrats (CDU) nor Schroeder's Social Democrats
(SPD) enough votes to rule with their allies, political
analysts predict they will strike a deal vaulting Merkel into
the chancellery and giving the SPD key ministerial posts.
An agreement could be reached either late on Sunday night
or early on Monday, paving the way for serious coalition
negotiations which are likely to drag on into November.
"I believe that with goodwill on the part of all
participants we can get a solution and a result," Guenther
Oettinger, CDU premier in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, said
in a radio interview on Sunday.
The meeting, attended only by Schroeder, SPD Chairman Franz
Muentefering, Merkel and Edmund Stoiber, a Merkel ally and head
of the CDU's Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union
(CSU), is due to start at 1800 GMT in Berlin.
The CDU and SPD plan to present the details of any
agreement to their party leadership on Monday morning.
Merkel's conservatives won four more parliamentary seats
than the SPD in last month's election but Schroeder has refused
to step aside, plunging Germany into a political limbo that
economists say could do further damage to the ailing economy.
Germany's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow
a mere one percent this year, the weakest in the European
Union. Unemployment hit a post-war high in February.
Financial markets have been watching the talks closely to
see how far Merkel, seen as a keen advocate of structural
change, will have to water down her reform agenda to appease
the SPD and secure the chancellorship.
If Merkel makes too many concessions it could delay or
scupper some of the changes Germany urgently needs to boost its
anemic growth rate, financial analysts say.
"Relative to Merkel's initial agenda, the likely reform
program of a grand coalition can only be disappointing," Bank
of America economist Holger Schmieding said in a research note.
"After a possible relief rally if Germany's four
negotiators indeed do a deal over the weekend, this can
constrain the upside for German assets and, more importantly,
for the German economy," he added.
Media reports citing unidentified CDU sources said on
Saturday that Merkel wants a deal under which she would be
chancellor, with the CDU sharing half the posts in a 16-member
cabinet with the SPD.
SPD and CDU spokesmen both declined to comment on Saturday
and noted that Merkel, Stoiber, Schroeder and Muentefering had
agreed not to reveal details of the talks before they end.
Bild am Sonntag newspaper reported on Sunday, without
citing any sources, that Schroeder could become foreign
minister and vice-chancellor in a Merkel-led cabinet.
The two sides have already sketched out areas where they
should be able to work together, including cutting Germany's
ballooning budget deficit and reforming the tangle of state and
federal powers that has crippled decision-making in the past.

Ride with the Horsemen of the Apocalypse as they seek to unearth a plot that could plunge all of Creation into chaos!
Ages before the events of Darksiders and Darksiders II, two of the feared Horsemen - Death and War - are tasked with stopping a group of renegades from locating the Abomination Vault: a hoard containing weapons of ultimate power and malice, capable of bringing an end to the uneasy truce between Heaven and Hell ... but only by unleashing total destruction.
Created in close collaboration with the Darksiders II teams at Vigil and THQ, Darksiders: The Abomination Vault gives an exciting look at the history and world of the Horsemen, shining a new light on the unbreakable bond between War and Death.
©2012 Ari Marmell (P)2012 Random House Audio
"Can't express how impressed I am"
First I want to say that Bob did amazing job narrating his book.
The story gives much needed insight to the background of the characters, the overall story and universe. Characters are described richly, even in the slightest movements, and in the same way that they appear in the games (the ones that are there), which made the audiobook very easy to get myself totally absorbed in. Though itself has very little related to the games' story - which is absolutely not a bad thing, as it gives a different kind of angle to the universe.
"Meet snarky Death and his deadly secrets."
Darksiders: The Abomination Vault is a gem of a story for all Darksiders fans to read and enjoy. You get a in-depth view of the horseman Death, who is a very snarky, lethal sonavabitch. A dark character with an ever darker past.
While the story happens long long LONG before the Darksiders game timeline, it lays down some precedences that may explain some of the who/what/why's for the game. The book has an interesting lot of characters from the high heavens to the depths of hell...many of which we are already familiar with such as Azrael, Abaddon, Uriel, and the Crowfather. And we meet new characters such as Panoptos (of which the watchers are based from) and The Keeper of Oblivion, whom I hope we meet again in the future.
Ari Marmell did a marvelous job fleshing out the characters in the book, especially with Death. I only hope he will write more Darksiders books in the future. His stories are rich enough for me to continue to enjoy the Darksiders universe, regardless if we get another game or not.
Bob Walter did an excellent job narrating and performing the story. His rendition of Death is just right with its feralness and inflections, similar to the game. Since Death is the lead character of the story, one can forgive the softer voice of War. Once you're lost in the story, it won't matter at all.
Oh, Death, Death, Death. You snarky feral sonofabitch. You freaking steal this story long and wide. Death is what makes the reading/listening The Abomination Vault so outstanding, regardless if you played the game or not.
War takes second place, but is still a major character. He gets some marvelous moments of his own in the book that War fans will enjoy. Strife and Fury also make appearance, but their parts are small.
But Death...dammit...he steals all the scenes. Greedy bastard, LOL.
If you're a fan of Darksiders, you will enjoy this audio book. Get it.
If you're a fan of dark fantasy, but have never played the game, you will also enjoy The Abomination Vault. Ari does a great job with his writing that you do not need to have played the game to still enjoy a great story. You will not be disappointed.
I wish there were more books, video games and movies based on darksiders. it could be a series even better than game of thrones
"heaven hell and everything else."
This is a pretty great book for anything who's played the games.
deatlh is my favorite character. He has a depth I'd never expect. As a man in this mid thirties I feel like I can identify with his regrets..
I couldn't stop listening. Death and war have a complex relationship that keeps our lives the way we want them.
If you you play the games. Read it.
"Good book, keeps you interested"
The way the narrator reads is kinda annoying. Its a fun book to listen to though, thank you!
voice acting was poor. Story was alright. Video Game is way more interesting. Star Wars books are much better.
"Amazingly Done"
As a long time fan of the series, I was so happy to come across this book. Please write more!!!
DEATH is the MAN
"amazing prequal"
If you like the games I can't recamend this book enlough give it a go.
I love this book. It kept my attention and actually made me chuckle a couple times. Smart strategy and sarcastic tones all around.
"Building Lore without relying on the Video Game"
I the voice actor naturally helped bring this gritty universe to life. His voice range wasn't necessarily great, but given who these characters are and what they had to go through I think the viciousness is better then range in this case.
I think the biggest problem in this story is that there really is no memorable scene. It's all very well written, but after listening to it twice, I really can't pull out a particular scene that stood out for me.
Bob Walter for some reason always reminds me if Jim Cummings in his gruffer roles, a voice actor I always love hearing.
Not t o sound repetitive,but I think the biggest problem in this story is that there really is no memorable scene. The revelations that were supposed to be moving, or some of the emotional scens, weren't bad, just this kind of book has a difficult time trying to be an action horror book as well as conjuring up emotions at the same time. not impossible, but very difficult.
Anyone who likes the game series, someone looking for a gory mess,or just someone looking to kick back and read whatever, will find enjoyment in this. There are no heavy themes or ground breaking story telling, but a fun book none the less.
book was great. narrator sucked. way too monotone, even for the characters of darksiders. it was like someone reading a science book. but story is awesome. big darksiders fan so definitely enjoyed it. would recommend.

Creaking on the tides under the weight of its three masts and 55 miles of rigging, the Friendship is a floating reminder of a time when the upstart United States laid a commercial claim to the high seas.
From tiny Salem, Massachusetts, up the coast from another Massachusetts seaport that soon would become known as the whaling capital of the world, ships set out to navigate the globe and return home with spices, water buffalo hides, silks, and porcelains.
The Friendship of Salem, an East Indiaman, joined this seagoing fleet in 1797 for the Salem-based mercantile concern of Waite and Peirce. But the venture was relatively short-lived, as the Friendship made just 15 voyages, to distant ports in Batavia, India, China, South America, the Caribbean, England, Germany, the Mediterranean, and Russia, before she became a prize of war during the War of 1812.
Today, though, via a porthole into the past you can smell her sailcloth, sway with her creaking decks, and view the somewhat cramped crew quarters during a tour of a replica of this grand dame. Though it's uncertain what happened to the original Friendship after the British auctioned her off on March 17, 1813, her spirit resurfaced in 1996 when a reproduction of her keel was laid by Scarano Brothers Shipyard, and in 1998 when her hull was launched.
Today she's the flagship of the National Park Service, a museum piece tallship of yesteryear now berthed at the historic Derby Wharf at the Salem Maritime National Historic Site in Massachusetts.
"The purpose of the park is all about bringing the maritime history of New England and the United States to life," explains Salem Maritime Superintendent Patricia Trap, a Park Service veteran who served postings in the Rocky Mountain West but who now seems to have a measure or two of sea water in her veins.
"I'll tell you, it's such a tangible, exciting way to make maritime history come alive. It's a unique experience, but it's an expensive one," the superintendent adds during a telephone conversation. "So how do we get kids, how do we get youth and adults on the ship, dockside as well as on the water in a way that is affordable? We're not quite sure. What I'd like to do is increase attention and awareness of the ship and hopefully get some sponsors to underwrite some of the costs."
Those costs are not insignificant. The first phase of construction cost almost $5 million. A quarter of that sum, impressively, was raised by local school children, the city of Salem, and nonprofit park partner Salem Partnership and the Essex County (Massachusetts) Commission, according to the superintendent.
Once the shell of the ship was towed to Salem, rigging work and additional final touches performed there and at the Charleston Navy Yard in Boston cost nearly $2 million more; much of that was, again, raised through local efforts. While that nearly $7 million produced the finished product, there are ongoing costs, such as regular maintenance, fuel for the two engines on board, and the costs of berths in ports whenever she sails.
While the costs of this ship can't be understated, neither can its role in bringing early 18th century maritime history to life, nor its role as an educator, be overlooked. In August the Friendship will sail to New York City with a crew that includes a number of college-aged youth. Called a "Youth Journey on the High Seas," the voyage is intended to expose these youth to both sailing as well as a career in the Park Service, explained Superintendent Trap.
"And we're really trying to reach an urban and divese audience, meaning everybody's welcome," she said. "We have three program areas, in Boston, New York and Baltimore, so those three groups are going to combine (in the program). Most of them will sail from Salem to New York City and learn how to sail. When they're in New York they will host some other groups, dockside, host them on board, and they're going to take the (NPS) regional director out for a sail into the harbor. Then it will culminate with a youth summit where we'll bring in an additional 90 youth who are involved in youth programs in New York City.
"Then those of our youth intern program, career program, those who weren't able to sail on the way down will sail on the way up (to Salem)," added Superintendent Trap. "It's really, really, exciting. One of the marinas in Manhattan, maybe a 10-15 minute brisk walk from Battery Park, has actually just donated the slip space to us, so that's saving $6,000 right there."
Eventually the superintendent hopes to be able to build on this year's initial Youth Journey by establishing an endowment fund to underwrite such programs and which perhaps could supply scholarships for college-aged students interested in pursuing a related career.
"When you're out on the ship on the water it really brings history to life in a meaningful way, so how can I give that to as many people as possible, as well as dockside?" wonders the superintendent. "How do I do that for as many people as possible? And be able to cover some costs."
Down the road another ship might be tied up to the Derby Wharf alongside the Friendship. Superintendent Trap is working to bring a late-18th/early-19th century privateer to the historic site to broaden the early maritime history on display.
"During the War of 1812 it was really the privateers that were heavily featured in that war, so we're going to try to do this partnership," she explains. "It's called Fame, it's a replica Salem privateer."
But the Friendship is not the only aspect of this 9-acre unit of the National Park System, which tells some of the country's early seafaring history.
According to park historians, "Salem was a vital part of British colonial trade as early as the mid-17th century. Dried cod and timber were taken from Salem to British plantations in the West Indies, and molasses, sugar and rum were then traded for fine and exotic goods in England."
Spend a little time here and you can tour the ship when it's in port, wharves that date to the 1700s and 1800s, the Custom House where taxes were paid on cargoes, the West India Goods Store where goods such as coffee, tea, spices and silk brought to port were sold, the Narbonne house, a modest, middle-income home dating to the late-1600s, and the home of merchant E.H. Derby, a wedding present given to him and his bride in 1762.
The West India Goods Store at Salem Maritime National Historic Site is one of the last early shops to be found in New England. Today, Eastern National, a non-profit partner of the National Park Service, operates a luxury trade shop in this West India Goods Store as part of Salem Maritime National Historic Site. To represent Salem's early trade period, Eastern National sells spices, coffee, teas, porcelain, and many other items from China, India, Africa, Indonesia, and other foreign ports that are similar to the items available to the citizens of Salem in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
The profits from any purchases you make at this store are used to support the interpretive programs of the National Park Service at Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

Notes and Documents
the Diary of Captait george W. O'griae, 1863
Edited by COOPER K. RAGAN
[The following is the conclusion of the George W. O'Brien
diary, begun in the July, 1963, Quarterly.]
Oct. 4 Sunday-Learned that we are to leave here tomorrow
morning for the Westward. It is said our destination is Belle Cheney
Springs. The enemy today refused to permit our surgeons to visit
our sick on the Fordoche under a flag of truce. Gen Green says
he will go over tomorrow to see them with or without a flag of
truce.92 It is said by the surgeon that the intention is to amputate
Burrell's leg tomorrow, also that Sol. West will die.
Oct. 5 Monday-Pursuant to an order received yesterday eve-
ning, the Brigade left this morning at sunrise. Everyone in ex-
cellent spirits and rumors of a Yankee demonstration below-a
fight, I suppose a small affair, reported between the 2 La. Cay.9 and
the enemy down there. Marched about 14 miles, arriving at our camp
about 1 P.M. After partaking of a little rest and refreshment Lt. [James
M.] Long and Myself borrowed the Adjutant's and Sgt. Maj.'s horses
and went out foraging and to see some of our men who had previously
left sick at Mr. Ash's. Rode 1-1/2 miles and got bottle of new wine made
by an old negro of wild grapes. We drank it all at 2 drinks. It
was very new and weak. Proceeding two miles further arrived at
Mr. A's. Found C[harles C.] Gentz nearly recovered and Bob [Rob-
ert L.] Gill and Cap [Douglas W.] Wilson entirely so. Asked if
we could not buy some honey there as we had understood they had
found a number of bee trees. They replied that Mr. A. was not
at home and we could get none at the house but that if we would
go to assist them, they knew where we could. We agreed at once
to go with them. Charley rode one of the horses and one of the
92General Green previously had suggested suspension of hostilities immediately
after the battle to allow the Federals to remove their wounded and to bury their
dead, which had been readily agreed to by the Union field commander. Later,
on October i, General Dana refused a similar request by Green so the Confederate
wounded could be brought off. Following Green's withdrawal, the Federals, ac-
cording to their reports, captured nineteen badly wounded Southern soldiers in
a house near the battlefield. Reports of General N. J. T. Dana, September 3o,
October 2, 1863, Official Records, Series I, Vol. XXVI, Pt. i, 322-324.
9sThe 2nd Louisiana Cavalry was commanded by Colonel William G. Vincent.
The affair mentioned took place at Nelson's Bridge near New Iberia on October 4,
1863. Report of General Alfred Mouton, October 4, 1863, ibid., 393.

Do you want to make an excellent MySpace layout as the backbone of your MySpace page? To achieve a MySpace layout you have to consider three important factors which are background properties, text properties, cursor and scroll bar properties.
While attending to your MySpace background, you have to decide the position, color and image. The position may be any where between bottom left to upper right corner. After this task, fix a pleasing color which will make the readers appreciate. The color should also match the theme promoted by you in your profile of the MySpace Account. Choose an appropriate border thickness for the background.
As you have a wide variety of graphics and animation you can choose the best one according to your theme, group and taste. You have to display the text which is suitably prepared to communicate the theme to be conveyed. After putting the text which includes title, sub-title and the contents in brief, provide links to the text wherever necessary. While considering the scrollbar, choose color of scrollbar, highlighting, face color and arrow.
By searching the internet you will come to that there are a large number of sites offering you customizable and readymade solutions of MySpace layouts. You should also consider attaching a contact table to your MySpace layout which can be chosen from the readymade contact tables available on internet, which includes various requirements and categories. After deciding about the layout structure, you can make use of the templates available on the internet.
For making a MySpace layout, you have to first create a MySpace account by logging on to MySpace. As the MySpace page is a user-friendly website, there will be no problem in checking your MySpace layout. You can easily learn to make your MySpace layout as it supports html. You have to fill out the headers in your MySpace page like Interests and I would like to meet etc.. If you leave any header blank, it will not appear on the MySpace. Using the internet language, HTML, you can select font sizes, colors or add images and pictures to your layout. You can also link them to your home page or other web sites. You can simply create your own MySpace layout by becoming more familiar to MySpace site. By trial and error you have to make little experiments so that you can learn about the layout by adding your own flavor instead of a ready made.

MXMLC WTF (7): Snooping with verbose stacktraces
-verbose-stacktraces flag to
mxmlc is really useful, but it also has a fun, but disturbing, side effect: you can discover how the person who packaged a
swc organized their project. If an error is thrown in a context where the call stack includes methods defined by classes inside a
swc the
getStackTrace method on
Error reveals the location of the
.as file as it was when it was compiled.
This is the output from
getStackTrace for an error thrown in a FlexUnit test case (scroll to the right to see the path to the file):
... at flexunit.framework::TestCase/flexunit.framework:TestCase::runTestOrAsync()[C:\Documents and Settings\mchamber\My Documents\src\flashplatform\projects\flexunit\trunk\src\actionscript3\flexunit\framework\TestCase.as:275] ... at flexunit.framework::TestSuiteTestListener/handleTimer()[C:\Documents and Settings\mchamber\My Documents\src\flashplatform\projects\flexunit\trunk\src\actionscript3\flexunit\framework\TestSuiteTestListener.as:81] at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::_timerDispatch() at flash.utils::Timer/flash.utils:Timer::tick()
From this we can determine that the
swc distribution of FlexUnit (at least the version I use) was compiled by Mike Chambers, who uses Windows and stores his projects in
C:\Documents and Settings\mchamber\My Documents\src\flashplatform\projects.
Sorry about the intrusion of your privacy Mike, I hope you don't mind.
This is from the Flex 3 beta 2 framework:
at mx.binding::Binding/wrapFunctionCall()[E:\dev\flex_3_beta2\sdk\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\binding\Binding.as:204] at mx.binding::Binding/execute()[E:\dev\flex_3_beta2\sdk\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\binding\Binding.as:180] at mx.binding::BindingManager$/executeBindings()[E:\dev\flex_3_beta2\sdk\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\binding\BindingManager.as:110]
There's not as much information there, the code was not anywhere where you can see the username in the path. The only thing we can gather is that it was built on a Windows machine.
The strange thing about this is that you would assume that when they packaged up the Flex framework
swc they would compile it with
-optimize which should strip such things as file names and line numbers from the code. Since the file names and line numbers are there I assumed that they didn't, until I tried compiling a
swc with
-optimize (and, obviously, without
-verbose-stacktraces). The file names and line numbers were still there. So I tried compiling with the Flex 2
compc instead, maybe Flex 3 beta 2 doesn't do
-optimize, but no, still the same result.
My conclusion is that regardless of what you do,
compc includes file names and line numbers in the code compiled to a
mxmlc will include these into the final
swf if
-verbose-stacktraces is set, even if
-optimize is also set. If the file names and line numbers are stripped from the final
swf if
-verbose-stacktraces is a bit hard to see, I'm can't run
strings because the compression of a
swf hides the data, and I don't know how to uncompress a
swf properly. However, there is a noticeable size difference between
-optimize -verbose-stacktraces and just
-optimize, so it seems like they are stripped. On a side note,
-optimize does not seem to have any effect on the size of the
swf, the output size is the same wether or not it is specified, even though the docs say that "This optimizer reduces file size" (I haven't tested this in Flex 2 so it might be just Flex 3 beta 2).
I think this is a real MXMLC WTF. Including so much information in a
swc even when
-optimize is specified seems weird, especially since there seems to be no way to stop it from being included. The information is useful while debugging things, but there should be a way to strip the information before releasing a
swc, because at that point it stops being useful, and it's also reveals information about the author which he or she may not want to share (sorry again Mike, but I had to show something to prove my point).
-optimize doesn't have the effects you would assume it has is perhaps worthy it's own installment of MXMC WTF.
Try this at home
If you want to try this yourself you need the debug version of Flash Player , compile your code with
-verbose-stacktraces and include this snipplet:
try { throw new Error(); } catch ( e : Error ) { trace(e.getStackTrace()); }
You will find a nice stack trace in your
flashlog.txt. You need to put the snipplet somewhere where the call stack includes methods from the
swc you want to inspect. This means that you place it in a method which you know is called by (or is called by something that is called by) a class that came from the

UnNews:Snakes on a Plane receives no Oscar consideration
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Snakes on a Plane receives no Oscar consideration
Your A.D.D. news outl — Oooh, look at the pictures!
Sunday, March 18, 2018, 02:51:59 (UTC)
• Newsroom • Audio (staff) • Foolitzer Prize
• Indexes • Random story
25 January 2007
HOLLYWOOD, California -- The Samuel L. Jackson movie and meme, Snakes on a Plane, was nowhere in sight Tuesday when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced their 2007 Oscar nominees. They didn't even get a nod for the movie's theme song, "Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)" by Cobra Starship. Fans of the movie are now in an uproar over the snub. Says Joseph Schmo of Norman, Oklahoma, "What's the deal here? Snakes on a Plane is obviously the greatest movie of all time, and yet nobody recognizes it as such. They think it's just a fad, but we will show them a thing or two."
A petition was started by director David Ellis, who was too busy sobbing like a little girl to comment on this story. However, Jackson and co-star Kenan Thompson have issued statements. Thompson said, "This is an injustice to the art of motion pictures! Just look at them snakes, they're everywhere! Some people have little or no taste in high quality films. Sign the petition, it's worth it." Jackson agreed with Thompson referencing his own profanity from the ill-fated movie, "I've had with these muthafucking voters snubbing muthafucking films!"
Samuel Jackson, a neo-muslim, co-wrote the documentary on what really happened on 911. The sideplot is based on the theroy of snakes getting on planes to avoid the affect of global warming at lower altitudes
Samuel L. Jackson has also issued a statement, one that involved much usage of the F-Word. But due to the fact that Uncyclopedia is a family internets website, we won't post that here.
The AMPAS responded to the harsh criticism, reasoning, "Dick Cheney made us do it! He threatened to shoot us in a 'quailing accident' if we didn't comply."
The movie sparked an Internet phenomenon, even going as far as being banned from VFH for being nominated too many times. Jackson commented saying, "The article truly is crap that needs to be fixed as soon as possible." Then the hype led up to the film having underperformed at the box office in August 2006, despite being the number 1 movie in America. The movie is now available on DVD, but has otherwise disappeared off the face of the earth like that Dark Shadows episode.
Cobra Starship lead singer Grace Slick said that she is "devastated" by the snub, especially for the song. "It's one of the greatest songs ever written, next to Van Halen's 'Eruption' and 'Popozao' by Kevin Federline.
The AMPAS has yet to release an official statement, but it is believed they will reprise Samuel L. Jackson's muthafucking profanity.
At this moment, Richard Simmons has no input on this topic except for this one brief statement: "I'm tired of these motherfuckn' people thinking I'm motherfuckn' gay!" His spokesperson Jar Jar Binks was unavailable for comment.

A two-alarm fire caused an estimated $100,000 in damage early Tuesday to a home converted to apartments at 1216 Tenn.
The fire was reported about 1:35 a.m. The cause was still under investigation Tuesday evening, Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical officials said.
Five people who lived in the home were displaced and received emergency assistance Tuesday from the Red Cross. In addition, at least three cats and a dog were unaccounted for, residents said.
Elsewhere, another fire was reported about the same time in a vacant trailer at Gaslight Village, 1900 W. 31st St. Officials believe that fire was intentionally set.
Because both fires happened at virtually the same time, additional fire crews were called from Olathe and Lenexa for backup, interim Fire Chief Mark Bradford said.

GOP, evangelicals have suffered losses
Published 11:48 am, Monday, April 30, 2012
I grew up with the following generalizations: The Republicans are the party of big business while Democrats will tend to do more for the common man. Yet my parents admired moderate and wise leaders in both parties.
There was enough moderation that members of both parties often worked together for the common good quite well. For example, I remember LBJ helping Dwight Eisenhower push a good deal of his legislation through the Legislature.
But if you have watched the Republican primaries this year, you may, like me, be embarrassed for our country before the world. The candidates generally have sounded to me like ignorant fundamentalist preachers.
They seem to me to be afraid, hostile to science and climate change, and fearful of non-white Americans. David Brooks, a Republican commentator, said this year the Republican primaries sounded like the last gasp of white America before it goes under.
So much of what they say seems to be emotional knee-jerk cliches, just like many fundamentalist preachers I know who are real good at being angrily against things, but terrible at compromising for good solutions for the common good. They espouse an almost total individualism, but forget that from the very beginning it is our cooperation that formed and made the nation great.
But this Republican Party is 180 degrees different from what it used to be. It was started in 1854 to oppose the spread of slavery. It has always been proud to claim Abraham Lincoln who freed the slave.
Long after the Civil War it was much more likely to draw progressives than the Democrats. Republican President Teddy Roosevelt was one of our most progressive presidents ever. He gave us anti-trust laws that broke up big business monopolies. He created federal lands and the National Public Park system. Also he created tons of government intervention and regulation. He gave us the Food and Drug Administration which greatly improved the public health, saving multitudes of lives.
Teddy knew that a big country needed a big government to protect and serve the common good.
Democrats outside the South finally caught on to the need of progressive government. But ultra-conservative Democrats in the South never caught on. They were like today's Tea Party Republicans, angry and obstructionist.
Republicans used to be committed to taking race out of politics. They promoted anti-lynching laws. They sat on the board of the NAACP. They investigated racial violence that kept Southern Blacks from voting. In 1966 they elected from Massachusetts the first black senator since reconstruction.
Bob Dole and Gerald Ford supported civil rights legislation in the 1960s. They led in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The GOP began to change when they finally followed Barry Goldwater's advice to go after the Southern ultra-conservative Democrats. This led to a marriage with the evangelical church. And now you see the results. I believe that both the GOP and evangelicals have suffered loss through this union.
The GOP's incessant talk of "states' rights" sounds like Civil War rhetoric. And states' rights is often code for white privilege.
Look at Alabama and Arizona for an illustration of this.

Great Car!
By bacon777 on
Vehicle2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A)
ReviewA few years ago, I never would have given a Hyundai a second glance but I love my 2011 Elantra.
I typically average 40 (sometimes higher) on my long commutes during the day and still get about 30 in the city.
This has cut my gas bill quite a bit.
The entire looks amazing though the black can make it pretty warm during the summer.
Has many great safety features and the warranties beat pretty much any other car I researched before purchasing.
Only downside I've come across so far is Hyundai's replacement of a spare for the pump and seal device in order to maintain good fuel economy.
Once my roadside assistance is up, I'll probably invest in a spare.
Best FeaturesThe exterior design looks amazing and the gas mileage cannot be beat, especially for how roomy the interior and the trunk is. The radio set up is very nice as well, and though I didn't get the Bluetooth feature, I do appreciate the iPod set up as opposed to a standard AUX port.
Worst FeaturesThough I understand the idea of the pump and seal device in order to maintain mileage, that still won't do a whole lot if you suffer a large gash in your tire. I would just feel more comfortable having a spare tire as opposed to the pump.

T MAGAZINE; Boulder Dash
By SALLY SINGER
Published: November 20, 2011
It was a misty May morning near Moab, Utah, and I was marveling at a rock: Fisher Towers, to be exact, an enormous hunk of rosy sandstone eroded over the centuries to resemble the fortress of a hermetic medieval wizard who happened to settle in southern Utah. I had pitched a tent in a campground ($12 a night) in the valley below with an outdoorsy friend. We slept next to the Colorado River. There was an outhouse, a Dumpster and a fire pit.
What had led me to this holiday? Perhaps it was Edward Abbey's ''Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness,'' his 1968 account of being a park ranger in nearby Arches National Park, which chronicles the seasons he spent patrolling vast expanses of rock and shrub and having passive-aggressive dealings with various critters. Perhaps it was the idea of turning ''luxury'' on its head: I would wear only Tevas (purchased on Moab's main street) and worn-out clothes with wicking; the chic local boutique would sell rocks; there would be no shower. Yet what wind and rain had conspired to create over the centuries - crazily beautiful friezes, surreal statuary, squint-and-you-could-be-in-the-Valley-of-the-Gods enormities, and arches galore - would make for a holiday of unreal privilege and glamour. For $12 a night.
And so it was. For two days we hiked through the Fiery Furnace (a reserve-early, permit-only rock maze/metropolis) and Canyonlands with its imposing Needles. Everywhere, everywhere, were jaw-dropping rocks: rocks that looked like wooden shoes, Knights of the Round Table, depressed nymphs, Babar and family. The scale and beauty of the landscape of southern Utah is so astonishing as to be almost oppressive, the way Renaissance paintings become too much to bear when visiting Florence. One seeks shelter after a time. We ate massive plates of eggs and pancakes at the Jailhouse Cafe, a carnation pink, picket-fenced, morning-only Moab establishment, and drank lattes from Wicked Brew with its drive-through lane of wackily painted trash cans. We cooked chicken fajitas over a fire, wrapped them in foil and took them along for a sundown picnic at Delicate Arch.
I had taken a page from our cover model Heidi Mount's book. Mount, who on these pages wears fall's lumberjack chic, grew up four and a half hours from Moab in a suburb of Salt Lake City. Every spring break, her family would travel to Arches, Moab or Bryce, with neighbors and cousins in tow; the kids would sleep in tents, the parents in trailers. ''We would hike up into the mountains and try to catch lizards,'' she recalls. ''There were hieroglyphs on the walls.'' Mount's favorite arches are Delicate (''it's the classic, it's on the license plate, and it's a longer hike'') and one shaped like a lollipop (''it doesn't make any sense; it shouldn't be there''), and she's especially fond of the rocks known as the Priest and Nuns (''funny title in an L.D.S. state!''). Although she says that ''sleeping outdoors is not a big deal for me,'' Mount bunked down on this trip at the Sorrel River Ranch, a quietly luxe resort down the road from the campsite and the Towers, where local guides encouraged her to test her outdoorsy courage on the Colorado River rapids.
After a couple of nights, when my friend had left to go mountain biking in Bryce, I too sneaked off to Sorrel, where the bathtub and shower, the creekside porch, the fluffy four-poster and the spa with its expert facialist (a local skilled in the rejuvenatory charms of reflexology, acupuncture and massage) thoroughly decamped me. Having rocked, it was time to roll.
The Sorrel River Ranch (Mile 17, Highway 128; 877-317-8244; doubles from $399) is a working horse ranch with western-themed rooms, lots of activities, a smattering of celebrity guests (Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel were celebrating Menzel's birthday with pals when I visited), a recently enhanced spa and an attentive but not overreaching staff. It's 20 minutes from Moab and 30 from Arches. Campgrounds operated by the Bureau of Land Management ($8 to $12 a night) are nestled everywhere. Pick carefully and arrive early, because the sites are first come first served. For information, go to blm.gov/yzjd. There is also a campground in the niches of Arches National Park ($20 a night).

Heidi Mount's family's favorite restaurant in Moab is Pasta Jay's (4 South Main Street; 435-259-2900), which has huge salads and Italian-y entrees, perfect for carb loading before a day of hiking, biking, rafting or most likely all of the above. The Jailhouse Cafe (101 North Main Street; 435-259-3900) serves only breakfast, but really, who needs lunch after rashers of bacon with pancakes and eggs? Wicked Brew (132 North Main Street; 435-259-0021) has excellent coffee drinks (soy cappuccinos!) and enormous muffins. If you are camping and need to buy provisions, there is Moonflower Market (39 East 100 North Street; 435-259-5712), a terrific health food store with organic, local produce.
You come to southern Utah to hike, not to shop. This is a good thing. For souvenirs, visit the Moab Rock Shop, which sells exactly that (600 North Main Street; 435-259-7312).
Most hikes are well marked with cairns, and the ranger stations at Arches and Canyonlands can provide maps and lots of help. The Fiery Furnace allows only 75 self-guided visitors a day, no children under 5 and requires those seeking a permit ($4; nps.gov) to watch a short film before entering the maze. Book early. The whole thing takes about two and a half hours to navigate but is well worth all the necessary hullabaloo.
This is a more complete version of the story than the one that appeared in print.

DF11 driver feedback signs are installed to work in tandem with existing static regulatory and warning signage, and are targeted at specific drivers traveling above a pre-determined safe speed threshold.
DF11 employ microwave Doppler radar to detect vehicle approach speeds and uses 2 no. 11" seven segment LED characters to display driver speed.
Importantly the DF11 is not a replacement for static signage or to be used as a repeater - they are a speed targeted supplementary advisory device.
Compact, robust and highly mobile speed feedback device, the DF11 lends itself well to driver speed education on low speed roads in both the public and commercial /industrial sectors.
DF11 signs are configurable locally on site from PC based configuration software over either hardwire data cable link or Bluetooth™ wireless communications.
Configurable items include
The radar is uni-directional for approaching traffic at speeds between 5 to 120 mph (8 to 195 km/h) with a default range setting of 300 feet. When vehicles exceed any of the pre-programmed trigger points the appropriate warning message will be displayed. Below the activation point the sign will remain entirely blank.
DF11 signs can be used to collect speed data to evaluate performance - it is normal practice to put the sign into stealth mode when first installed to get a baseline of speeds and then place in active mode. The true value of data is in the before and after comparisons.
DF11 are available in AC rechargeable battery, Solar or AC hardwired options. In the case of solar, (SP30S) 30W kits are available complete with plug and play cable kits and brackets incorporated inside sign.
Each DF11 comes with its own universal mounting plate which can fixed to the majority of post types, the DF11 simply slots into mounting panel and is padlocked in place. Additional mounting panels can be purchased to allow DF11 to be quickly rotated from one site to another.
Installer requiring a suitable post and banding to install.
All DF11s are supplied with a handbook which contains a guide to installation and set-up best practices, which it is recommended are followed to ensure optimal performance and results.
DF11MC - 110V AC rechargeable unit, configuration via data cableDF11MCB - 110V AC rechargeable unit, configuration via Bluetooth
DF11SC - Solar powered, configuration via data cableDF11SCB - Solar powered, configuration via Bluetooth
DF11M - 110V AC , configuration via data cableDF11MB - 110V AC, configuration via Bluetooth
Units supplied complete with mounting panel and banding brackets and are available with fascia in either fluorescent Yellow, Yellow Green or White

Thanks to the [[DevelopersForesight smart producers of these games]], we have waves after waves of fangasms in every game. Here is a list of some of these crowning moments.
* Stage 6. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Kira protects the Archangel]] as it descends to Earth, and depending on the player, snapping out of the sadness of fighting his friend, stopping Athrun, ZAFT and the [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Frost Brothers]]!! ... Only to be shot down to Earth by [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero]] the next instant.
* Also, Domon plays a BIG role in this game, and does fight with NO GUNDAM, like in the series, alongside with Master Asia (Though only in the Earth stages). Here are a few examples.
** Extra Session 4, "A girl in a cage". Having the Master talked to [[AscendedExtra Cucuruz Doan]] some stages ago and Domon in his squad, attacking Nimbus in a Gundam BDII with EXAM activated, will trigger the following event: [[{{Foreshadowing}} Nimbus will mock him for being in a weak Zaku II]] and [[TemptingFate charge at him.]] Domon sees Doan's morality is down and command him to fight back with the fist of his soul. As he does, he suddenly manages to go into [[SuperMode "Meikyou Shisui"]] like Domon and Master, and immediately handles Nimbus's ass to him. Thus we have the legendary [[FanNickname "Super Zaku II"]] of the game.
** Stage 15, "Challenge to [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing OZ]]" has the Frost Brothers in their respective Gundams ready to blast the heroes after the entire hell of a battle the stage was. As it happens, Kamille, in his Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam, invokes his famous Newtype Potential, completely enraged. Domon [[BrightSlap stops and slaps him back to his senses]], [[{{ForeShadowing}} telling him to focus and get serious instead of charging at complete rage]]. As Kamille does and attacks with the [[{{BFS}} Hyper Beam Sword]], finishing the Frost Brothers, [[ShoutOut the Shining Finger theme plays.]] If not hilarious, certainly awesome.
* Stage 17, "Prepare for the Devil". Rau Le Creuset has a new mobile suit in hands. Which you may ask? [[BeamSpam THE FREEDOM GUNDAM]]. OhCrap ensues, as now he can pack quite a punch. However, Mwu doesn't let it affect him as he finally dashes to an epic battle with Rau. [[DyingMomentOfAwesome In the end, seeing it as the only way to beat him, he dashes and impales Rau, also sacrificing himself. Rau can do nothing but watch the beam sabers hitting both Gundams and finally die alongside his nemesis.]] A worthy death for the "Man That Could Do The Impossible, Possible."
* Stage 18, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack "Beyond The Time"]]. Casval(Char) reappears with his Neo-Zeon group, but ill-advised of who his enemies really are, and instead only searching [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Lalah's death's revenge]]. As both Amuro and Casval fight each other, Neo-Zeon and Londo Bell join in as Johhny Ridden and Shin Matsunaga wait for the best chance to attack in the sidelines. Kamille and Sayla both talk to him in order to convince him to join them and cease the useless battle. But only when Amuro is ready to bring the final blow to Casval, Lalah reappears in a vision, stopping Amuro's final blow and making Casval realize who his true enemies really are. [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome All at the sound of Beyond The Time and Meguriai.]]
* One of the most classic examples of an epic event on the SD G Generation series: [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam The Crossbone Duo,]] Kincaid Nau [[spoiler: (Seabook Arno)]] and Zabine Chareux, vs. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFYD9BLBw68 Gym in the Turn X.]]
* You can capture the [[spoiler: Turn X]] in the Rival Route provided that you have a certain pilot over level 30. The pilot? [[spoiler: Johnny Ridden]].
* Stage 12, AU Route. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED The]] [[FanNickname Druggies]] are sent and attack. But they didn't forsee one Heero Yuy inside of the Epyon, ready to activate its Zero System. Has the player triggered the event correctly, Heero uses the System. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53kb_awLsAM&feature=related Ass-kicking ensues.]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uB_9XbERqs&feature=relmfu One of the cutscenes]] from ''DS'' feature [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Muruta Azrael]] in control of the Dominion and about to shoot down the Archangel with the [[WaveMotionGun Lohengrin]] cannons. However, instead of the man who [[CatchPhrase makes the impossible become possible]], help arrives in the form of [[Manga/MobileSuitCrossboneGundam Berah Ronah]] [[spoiler:(Cecily Fairchild)]] and [[Anime/TurnAGundam Diana Soreil]]'s Mother Vanguard and Soleil's beam shields respectively.
* Rival Route, where you are able to convince the Druggies and Extended to join your side, use [[spoiler: Kai]] as a Newtype on the Nu Gundam, but also save Master Asia and gain the Eypron and [[spoiler: Turn X]] as powerhouse units, helps that the final level is the hardest in the game
[[folder:''Gather Beat'']]
* Many instances of the Attack Combination system developed from ''Monoeye/DS''. There are many unique combination attacks, just pick the enemies' poison. Also, the ability to recruit and position your team of mobile suits in the way you desire [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown before eventually slashing]] and [[MoreDakka firing the hell out of the enemy]] offers many possibilities of creating such a Crowning Moment.
** As an example, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5KWt-otrHQ The unique combo between the]] Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam, Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Nu Gundam]] with Newtype potential charged.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sfaz1YdMvg&NR=1 Here,]] the combo of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing 4 Wing Boys]].
* ''Spirits'' bring us an animated cutscene of one of the rarest gems in the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam One Year War]] side stories: The RX-78-4 Gundam "G04". The G04 is sent to stop a Zeon reinforcement fleet from Granada with its [[WaveMotionGun Mega Beam Launcher.]] At the cost of the Mobile Suit's integrity and [[DyingMomentOfAwesome the pilot's life]], [[ExplosiveOverclocking the launcher charges and fires at its full potential]], hitting and destroying '''every single Zeon battleship''' in the style of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Raiser Sword]].
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vupE-gzz1s&feature=related Everyone acknowledges it:]] [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack The (Hi-)Nu Gundam isn't just for show!!]]
** Probably where and when Setsuna got his idea for the [[Anime/Gundam00AWakeningOfTheTrailblazer 00 Qan[T]]]
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uXZWqPMbP8&feature=related Amuro and Char do battle]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Sazabi]] vs. [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam RX-78-2]], until Kamille, Haman and Judau enter the battle. Two main moments here: [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Haman and Char syncronizing their funnels attacks]] and giving the Hero Trio a pain in the ass, and Amuro and Char charging each other, at the pinnacle of their rage for each other, to the point of Amuro even ignoring Haman, [[IgnoredEnemy to the point of her even being dazzled by how utterly ignored she was.]]
** Talking about ''World''s cutscenes, what about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUbb1WaW1eo&feature=related Domon, Heero and Garrod]] vs. [[Anime/TurnAGundam Gym Ghing]]'''[[LargeHam ham]]'''. Basically, he mocks Domon's God/Burning Finger, scares the hell out of him '''surviving a combination of the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Twin Buster Rifle]] and the [[Anime/AfterWarGundamX Twin Sattelite Cannon]], [[{{HSQ}} then fights and mocks the trio]]''' before unleashing the Moonlight Butterfly.

A Medicine has been discovered for HSDD
A Medicine has been discovered for HSDD
Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) has been a hot topic for some time now the National Survey of Sexual Health and Behaviour has recently revealed all sorts of secrets about the female orgasm. The survey was carried out by the Centre for Sexual Health and Behaviour and according to the experts, 85% of men thought that their partners had reached orgasm the last time they engaged in sexual activity. The same study reports that only 64% of the women involved had achieved an orgasm on the last occasion they engaged in sexual activity. Of the 21% it is thought that there may have been instances of men having sex with men but that this figure was too large for this to have been the sole reason. Another survey reveals that 80% of women would rather a massage than to have sex with their partner. Has this got anything to do with female sexual dysfunction or has this simply what it's like to be a woman? My thoughts are, if you are unhappy with what is going on in the bedroom then you need to do something about it other than lying prone and waiting until it is over.For women who have a healthy libido and do not suffer from HSDD (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder), they need to teach their partner (male or female) how to make them orgasm. Every woman is different and it takes a lot of time before a couple can be compatible in this way. Going into the bedroom with a 'can't and won't' attitude will certainly not help the sexual satisfaction situation. For those who need a little help in the libido department, LibiGel, from Biosante pharmaceuticals is in Phase III trial stage for the demonstration of its safety and efficacy. It is a testosterone gel that is designed specifically for the treatment of HSDD (a popular aspect of FSD) and trial results are expected this autumn. Previous trials show that LibiGel increased sexually satisfying events by 238% in surgically menopausal women versus the placebo. More and more research is going on in the FSD area and soon women will be able to enjoy a satisfying sex life after menopause.
