Anderson – "Shepard! Shepard!"
Kaidan – "I found him. Hang on Shepard we'll get you out of there."
Anderson – "Thank god you're all right son. Wrex come help us get this off of him."
Wrex – "You mean to say Hey Krogan lift this half ton wreck of a Mako off the hero."
Kaidan – "You mean the Mako was a wreck before it got hit with a giant laser cannon?"
Wrex – "It was, don't you remember Garrus had to spent all that time . . . just calibrating it. There its off of ya."
Shepard – "Thanks Wrex."
Wrex – "My pleasure."
Anderson – "Wreck or not that Mako just saved your life. Here, I found your gun. Let's get moving."
Shepard – "Thanks. Let's get to the conduit."
Wrex – "Marauder!"
Wrex fires his Crusader X at its head.
Kaidan – "Headshot! That's all of them."
Wrex – "I love this gun. Pierced right through that Marauder's Shields."
Anderson – "One lone hero isn't the last of the fight to be had. Alright everybody stay alert. On three we jump in the beam. One . . . Two . . . THREE."
[The Citadel]
Anderson – "Are you alright? Is everybody here?"
Shepard – "I'm here."
Kaidan – "I landed in a pile of goo I'd rather forget I'd ever seen. But I'm ok."
Wrex – "This place is a dump. Looks worse than Tuchanka. On a bad day."
Anderson – "Looks exactly how you described the collector base in your reports Shepard."
Shepard – "Yeah but this is a lot worse than that. There's a lot more blood here."
Wrex – "Sometimes I forget you were in a fight without me Shepard. From what Grunt told me. Wish I'd been there."
Shepard – "No you don't Wrex. Fighting the Collectors was a suicide mission."
Wrex – "All the more reason for me to be there."
*ambient creaking
Wrex – "I'm surprised there aren't more enemies."
Anderson – "Husks."
Shepard – "You just had to open your mouth."
Wrex – "Hey it's not like the sound of my voice commands them out of thin air."
Kaidan – "Oh no, that's a Banshee."
Wrex – "On second thought, I probably should have kept my mouth shut."
Anderson – "That's definitely a Brute. Maybe two."
Kaidan – "Ok, maybe if we move now we can slip by them before they notice us."
Shepard – "Come on, you're not afraid are you Kaidan? We've got Wrex it's just like old times. Us against impossible odds. Right Wrex. Uh, Wrex."
Wrex – "I'd rather not say anything."
Anderson – "Enemies inbound. Cannibals."
Shepard – "Everyone on the left."
Kaidan – "Laying suppressing fire."
On the radio* – "This is Admiral Hackett, did anyone make it to the Citadel?"
Anderson – "Hackett, this is Anderson. I'm here with Shepard, Alenko and Wrex. We're under heavy fire. What's the status of the battle outside?"
Hackett – "We're holding the Reapers away from the Citadel and the Crucible but I don't know for how much longer. It's not a strategic position to hold. But if we withdraw we may win this with brute force. Shepard really delivered."
Anderson – "Hold your fleet formations for now. There are still Reapers in other star systems. If this thing works we could take them all out."
Hackett – "Agreed, but move fast. I need to know if the Crucible is viable before our numbers reach the tipping point. You have ten minutes at best. Hackett out."
Anderson – "You heard the man lets go!"
The team pushes through the hallway mowing down wave after wave of Marauders, Cannibals and husks. As they reach the end of the hallway the large door opens.
Shepard – "Brute!"
Wrex – "RAWR, I've been waiting to use my blade."
Wrex, a Krogan Vanguard, biotically charges the overconfident Brute as it swipes its hand through Wrex's phased body, he rematerializes with his shotgun blade rammed into the jaw of the brute. Wrex then fires his gun into its skull.
Anderson – "I've never seen one of those taken down so quickly."
Wrex – "A little technique I developed. Pro tip, if the first shot doesn't kill. Keep firing."
Kaidan – "Here come those banshees."
Shepard – "Does anyone have grenades?"
Anderson – "I've got some."
Shepard – "Give me one of those."
Kaidan – "I've modified a few concussive rounds to act like a grenade launcher."
Shepard – "Nice. Let's get their barriers down fast. I want constant fire. When you reload. I'll charge in."
Wrex – "And I'll be right behind you."
Kaidan – "Wrex, I'll be putting warp fields on the banshees. If you detonate the fields we could take them down faster."
Wrex – "That's a good idea Kaidan."
Garrus – "Two Banshees 12 O'clock."
The Banshees charge in firing volleys of biotic strikes.
Kaidan – "Clips run through. Firing grenades."
Anderson – "Grenades live."
Kaidan hits them with precision shots to the head. The exploding rounds drop each of their barriers, draining their ability to charge forward. Anderson lobs a cluster of 3 grenades at their feet but the Banshees' armor are still holding strong. Kaidan and Wrex alternate between Warp and Throw powers causing multiple biotic detonations. When they've worn down the Banshees a bit Wrex turns to Shepard and says,
Wrex – "It's our turn now Shepard. Let's go."
Shepard charges the Banshees with his shotgun. Shepard modified the weapon to fire sub zero cryo rounds to slow his opponents and weaken thier armor. Shepard deals high damage while Wrex not far behind, fires an entire 4 round clip of his Crusader Shotgun into the head of one Banshee before his heavy melee slices through the torso ripping the abomination in half. Meanwhile, Shepard charges the other Banshee while cloaked with Anderson's final grenade in hand and jams it into the Banshee's shrieking mouth. Shepard rolls back and the grenade pops its head.
Wrex – "One of these days you've gotta teach me how to do that."
Sheppard – "I'm afraid you're just going to have to watch and learn Wrex."
Anderson – "We've caught a break. Come on we don't have much time left. Lets get the citadel arms open. Shepard we'll need evac once we arm the Crucible."
Shepard (on the radio) – "EDI I need you to monitor our suits internal microphones. I don't know how long we're going to take but as soon as we're finished coordinate with Joker for extraction."
EDI – "Roger Commander."
[The control room]
Anderson – "There, that looks like the control panel."
Wrex – "Wait, don't rush in too quickly I smell trouble."
Just then a group of Phantoms uncloaked around them.
Kaidan – "Great. We're completely surrounded."
The Illusive man – "Admiral Anderson. I have a proposition for you."
Anderson – "Go to hell."
Illusive Man – "Hear me out first Admiral. I can't allow you to destroy the Reapers."
Anderson – "I figured as much."
Illusive Man – "You'd count me as a fool. But you're wrong. I've worked very hard to get to this point before you destroyed what remains of Cerberus. With the help of the Prothean VI we recovered from Thessia we discovered a weakness in the Reapers' code."
Wrex – "A weakness we can use to destroy them?"
Illusive Man – "Not exactly."
Anderson – "What exactly."
Illusive Man – "My plan is a little more refined than that. With the right amplification we can control the Reapers, disable them and study their technology."
Anderson – "Are you mad! Shepard warned me about you."
Illusive Man – "Where is Shepard?"
Kaidan – "I don't know, he was right behind me and then he wasn't. I'm beginning to worry about him."
Illusive Man – "It's a pity. I would have liked to see him again. One last time."
Anderson – "He doesn't need to be here. Listen, the VI warned Shepard that you've been Indoctrinated."
Illusive Man – "That's preposterous!"
Anderson – "Hear me out. The VI said that 50,000 years ago the Prothean Empire split during the reaper invasion. The indoctrinated side believed they found a way to control the Reapers. But they couldn't because the Reapers were controlling them. Any of this sound familiar?"
Illusive Man – "I'm aware of that."
Anderson – "Well the point is that the Protheans were defeated because they couldn't present a united front. Right now there's a war going on outside and we have a chance to use the Crucible and win this war once and for all."
Illusive Man – "And we will. Trust me Admiral, or don't. Either way you're wrong. Thanks to you, this cycle will be different. Humanity has completed the Crucible and Humanity will reap the benefits."
Anderson – "It was a galactic coalition that made it a success."
Kaidan – "Humans aren't alone in the galaxy."
Illusive Man – "Really Kaidan? I would have thought you would know better."
Kaidan – "Shepard taught me otherwise."
Illusive Man – "Enough talk, it's time for action."
The Illusive Man turns toward the console.
Anderson – "What are you doing?"
Illusive Man – "I'm opening the citadel arms. In a few minutes the Crucible will amplify the Reaper control signal and I'll be in full control."
Anderson – "And what will you do with that control?"
Illusive Man – "Exactly what Cerberus has been doing all along. Furthering Humanity's interests. If you must know, I think Palavan and Thessia would make excellent Human colonies."
Kaidan – "You wouldn't dare."
Wrex – "I'm insulted you didn't count Tuchanka in that list."
Illusive Man – "It's only a matter of time."
Wrex swipes his shotgun blade with the blade of a Phantom.
Wrex – "You give the word Admiral and these Phantoms are as good as dead."
The Phantom in front of Anderson sticks its blade to his neck.
Illusive Man – "I'd like to see you try."
Anderson – "He's right we make one wrong move and we'll be as good as dead."
Kaidan – "We don't have a lot of options."
Anderson – "We just might have to chance it."
Shepard – "That won't be necessary."
Shepard walks up behind the Illusive Man and points his gun directly to the back of his head.
Illusive Man – "Shepard, how did you get in here?"
Shepard – "The same way you did. Through the ventilation shaft."
Illusive Man – "Shepard put down the gun."
Shepard – "I can't do that. Admiral Hackett gave me an order."
The Illusive Man – "What order was that?"
Shepard – "Well his exact words were 'Put a bullet in his head on sight.'"
With that Shepard pulls the trigger.
Anderson – "What took you so long?"
Wrex – "We were beginning to think you wouldn't make it to the party."
Shepard – "Sorry the air ducts are a maze."
Kaidan – "Glad you could make it Shepard but I could use a little help with our little friends."
Wrex (waiving his hand in front of a Phantom's face)- "They don't appear to be moving at all."
Shepard – "They're mostly robots now. With the Illusive Man dead I don't think they know what to do."
Wrex – "Better kill them anyway."
Wrex proceeds to execute them with a shotgun blast to each face.
Shepard – "Well what do we do now?"
Anderson – "We'd better check in with Admiral Hackett. Hackett this is Anderson, come in."
Hackett – "Anderson what's your status? EDI was concerned a moment ago that you might have been compromised."
Anderson – "We're fine. Shepard took an alternate route and he saved our lives."
Hackett – "And the Crucible?"
Anderson – "The Citadel arms are open. The Crucible can dock."
Hackett – "Affirmative, it should only take a minute."
Kaidan turns to Shepard.
Kaidan – "So this is it huh."
Shepard – "Until I see every Reaper dead I'll reserve my judgement."
Wrex – "I'm with Shepard on that one."
Anderson – "The Crucible's docked."
Hackett – "There seems to be a problem."
Anderson – "What is it?"
Hackett – "The Crucible isn't firing."
Anderson – "Well give it time, it only docked a moment ago."
EDI – "That isn't the problem. It appears that control of the Crucible's firing mechanism was originally intended to be routed to the central control panel in what used to be the Council Chambers."
Anderson – "Dammit, that section is badly damaged, we can't get to there."
EDI – "Correct. In order to reroute control someone will have to access an external panel at the Crucible and Citadel Juncture."
(Make a Choice. Reroute control at your own risk or withdraw fleet and chance a brute force victory *Warning 6000 effective war assets are needed for this victory. To withdraw the fleet click HERE. To reroute control keep reading.)
Endgame 1 *Reroute at Own Risk.
Shepard – "I'll go."
Kaidan – "Not so fast. I'm coming with you."
Shepard – "No you won't Kaidan. I'm going alone."
Kaidan – "Why the hell not?"
Shepard – "Because I'm the only one who brought breathing equipment."
Wrex – "She has a point. Still if you want Shepard I can try holding my breath. Krogan can last 10 minutes in a vacuum. 30 if we're not moving."
Shepard – "Thanks Wrex, but this is one mission I can do alone."
Wrex – "Your call Shepard."
EDI – "I've been looking further into the schematics of the juncture point. It is possible to arm the Crucible from there. If Shepard stays behind, I recommend a rendezvous for the other party members with the Normandy."
Anderson – "You sure about this Shepard?"
(Paragon Choice "I'm sure.": continue reading. Renegade Choice: click the link "Send Anderson.")
Shepard – "I'm sure."
Anderson – "Good luck."
Hackett – "We'll pull you out of there when you're done Shepard. One way or another . . . "
Anderson – "EDI Send me the evac coordinates."
Wrex – "Don't get lost out there Shepard." (Paragon option shake his hand.)
Kaidan – "Shepard. I don't like this one bit. I keep thinking, well my mind keeps thinking of all the ways I could lose you."
Shepard – "I'm coming back Kaidan."
Kaidan – "We don't know that. For all we know you could end up dead. Listen I wish I had gotten to know you better sooner, I was really dense back when you first met me. The way I saw you talking to Ashley and Liara all the time, I had you pegged for some sort of ladies man. I'm glad I was wrong. Before you go I just want to say." Kaidan looks over at Anderson.
Kaidan – "Listen we could both be court marshaled for what I'm about to say. But if you die I'll never forgive myself for being too afraid to say it. No matter who's listening. I love you."
Shepard – *Paragon option "I love you too Kaidan." *Renegade option "Major have you lost your mind?"
Shepard – "I love you too Kaidan."
Kaidan – "I hope so because I'm not letting you leave without a kiss goodbye." (*Paragon interrupt KISS HIM. *Renegade interrupt "For the last time leave me alone")
Kaidan – "That was supposed to make it easier for me to leave. But instead it just made it a little harder."
Shepard – "Then I suppose we should try it again." He kisses Kaidan again.
Kaidan – "Nope, that made it even worse. Should we try for a third time?"
Shepard – "Don't push your luck." He kisses Kaidan anyway.
Wrex – "And remember Shepard when we're done here Garrus is buying us all drinks. So if you die out there, I'll kill you myself. I'm not paying for my own beer."
Shepard – "I'll miss you too Wrex."
Anderson – "So you and Alenko?"
Shepard – "I'm not going to make any excuses."
Anderson – "You don't have to Shepard. I always had a hunch. And Kaidan's a good man, I've known him for a long time under my command. Do yourself a favor and stay alive out there."
Shepard – "Thanks David. Now get out of here all of you."
Kaidan follows behind Wrex and Anderson. Shepard fastens his breathing mask and punches a few buttons on the control panel. Then the platform beneath him raises him up towards the external hull. Shepard takes 3 steps before hearing a noise that triggers a flash of a Prothean memory. He looks behind him quickly but sees nothing. Then Hacket comes in again over the radio.
Hackett – "Shepard we're picking up a single Sovereign class Reaper bearing down on your position."
Shepard – "Harbinger!"
Hackett – "A likely guess."
Shepard – "What about Anderson and the team?"
Hackett – "We just made the pickup. Listen, we're gonna engage the Reaper to give you more time."
Shepard – "Don't bother, just get the hell out of here."
Joker – "Negative commander. Hackett outranks you. Besides I'll run evasive patterns at limit. It's not my first time dodging Reaper ordinance plus now that we have EDI we'll keep the Normandy safe."
Shepard – "Admiral don't engage Harbinger without backup."
Hackett – "It's not up for debate Commander, there's no other ship within range that's fast enough. The Normandy is the only ship that can harass the Reaper. Listen we'll hold up our end of the bargain so you can hold up yours. Haul ass Commander that's an Order."
Shepard – "Aye sir."
Hackett- "Hackett out."
Shepard sprints forward at full speed still 200 meters from her target. Meanwhile the Normandy zips by overhead from Shepard's right toward the approaching reaper on her left. The Normandy stares down Harbinger in this galactic game of chicken.
Joker – "Do we have a target?"
EDI – "Target locked."
Garrus – "Dodge this you son of a bitch!"
With that, all the hours of intense calibration, hardwireing and rerouting are put to good use by a volley from the Normandy's giant gun.
Joker – "Everybody hang on!!!"
Joker rolls the Normandy left of Harbinger as the Volley hits the Normandy narrowly misses contact with the massive ship. Even a scrape would have ripped the Normandy apart. Any other pilot couldn't have made a maneuver like that. But Joker isn't any other pilot.
Shepard – "That was close. Joker. . . Dammit Joker come in!"
Shepard's audio is getting through but Harbinger is blocking communication from the Normandy back to Shepard. With no response he gives up on communicating for the moment, when he nears the control panel he sees the silhouette of a figure. Drawing his weapon, he sees the figure more clearly.
Shepard – "Illusive man?"
Harbinger – "No!"
Shepard – "Harbinger!"
Harbinger – "Don't be surprised Shepard. It was only a matter of time before his indoctrination was complete."
Shepard – "Just like Saren."
Harbinger – "Just like you."
Shepard – "I don't think you can or you would have done it already."
Harbinger – "It's only a matter of time."
Shepard – "I don't think so. You had to radically alter the Protheans' DNA in order to control them. I'm willing to bet the cipher makes it harder for you to control me."
Harbinger – "Not by much."
Shepard – "Listen as much as I enjoy our little reunions I have to activate the Crucible."
Harbinger – "I can't let you do that."
Shepard – "Go figure. Hey you got here before me. How come you didn't simply sabotage the console yourself?"
Harbinger – "I was in the middle of doing so when you interrupted me."
Shepard – "No I think it's more than that. The Prothean's designed it. They must have safeguards that prevent the indoctrinated from using the Crucible."
Harbinger – "You're more clever than we anticipated. A mistake that we will not repeat. Your end is final. I will destroy you."
Shepard – "Quite the opposite Harbie. You're going down just like Sovereign and his puppet."
Little did he know, Hackett broadcast the entire conversation to collective fleets.
Joker – "Voicecomm sent."
Hackett – "I think that rose morale a few points."
Wrex comments on the intercom from the med-bay, "I don't know if the Reapers can feel fear, but if I were a Reaper and I heard that, I'd be scared shitless."
Hackett – "Joker bring us arround for another attack."
Joker – "Aye, Aye"
Hackett – "Garrus fire at will."
Garrus – "I thought you'd never ask."
They go at it in all out combat. Everything is on the line now, nothing held back. The Normandy broadcasting his suit audio live to the fleets, fully aware of every move Shepard makes in this critical fight. Shepard, knowing nothing of the battle overhead charges the husk of the Illusive man's body which responds with super Human strength.
Harbinger – "This is no ordinary fight Shepard. I will destroy you."
Shepard's shields deflect a biotic volley.
Harbinger – "I know this hurts you."
EDI – "Commencing emergency maneuvers." EDI takes control of the Normandy and fiercely spins the port hull to deflect the majority of the Reaper weapon's impact.
Joker – "Oh god I didn't see that."
EDI – "That's why you have me."
Hackett – "Damage report."
(If you bought the cooling conduits for the Normandy.)
Adams – "Minimal hull damage. But drive output spiked if we hadn't upgraded the thermal conduits everyone below the engineering deck would be dead."
Hackett – "Keep up the fight."
Then the Turrian Primarch comes in over the comms.
Victus – "Turrian fleet engaging Harbinger."
Hackett – "Glad you could join us."
Harbinger (husk) – "Your friends are weak. Even they cannot stop me."
Shepard ducks behind cover as Harbinger throws endless volleys of biotic detonations. But remembering how Wrex took out the Brute in the corridors, he equips his shotgun blade. Preparing to charge him, Shepard looks up.
Hackett to the fleets – "Harbinger has landed on the Crucible. All ships do not let him fire his main gun. Repeat do not let him fire!"
Shepard thinks to himself – "This is it, this is the last charge I'll ever make in this war. (Psychological choice Paragon option – "For the fallen. Time to make it count." Renegade – "Time to kick some Reaper ass!")
* Make it Count.
Shepard and Harbinger charge each other as the Earth stands still. The fate of the Galaxy boiled down to these few seconds. Resting in the hands of Shepard's legacy . . .
is a shotgun and a 12 inch blade. Shepard cloaks and ducks left just under Harbinger's arm's reach. The monster swinging wildly, emptily from one side to another. Shepard sneaks up behind for an attack on the Illusive Man's upgraded skull vs. Shepard's blade. Peircing the skull from behind, Shepard's blade won out.
Shepard – "That was for Kaidan." Shepard fires a round. "That was for Thane." another, "That was for Mordin." another. Firing the last in his clip, "That was for Legion." Shepard drops the shotgun and powers up his omni-blade for his most powerful melee, "And this, THIS IS FOR EARTH!"
Shepard rips through the Reaper enhanced body with a devastating 5000 newtons, the severed torso flies off into space in pieces.
With the interference gone, Shepard hears Hackett on the com channel.
Hackett – "Hit him now, hit him with all you've got. Its shields are down. Its shields are down!"
Harbinger growls in his most menacing tone.
Shepard looks up at a Harbinger's charging laser – "Hackett patch this through to the fleet, target the laser cannon. It's the Reapers weakness."
Harbinger growls directly at Shepard.
Shepard – "Target the LASER CANNON!"
Hackett – "You heard the man. Shoot it now."
The allied fleets barrage the Reaper in the thickest fire every ships' captains have ever seen. But Harbinger, the oldest and the largest of the Reapers stands in the midst of a sea of flames as hot and bright as the Sun.
Joker whips the Normandy around for its final run at the monster.
Joker – "This is for Gunney." he slams the fire button. With Garrus' targeting, the shot slams through Harbinger. The Reaper growls not from malice, but from pain. As Harbinger is blown to pieces the Reapers' chatter grows into an uproar over his death.
Shepard runs for the Crucible's console, inputting the final commands in the Prothean language. Shepard remembers Mordin, "It had to be me, someone else might have gotten it wrong."

Joker – "I'm picking up extreme energy fluctuations from the Crucible. I recommend we evade."
Hackett – "Take us to a safe distance."
Kaidan – "You can't leave him!"
Hackett – "We don't have a choice."
Shepard – "It's ok Kaidan. I knew the risks."
Kaidan – "No it's not ok. God I can't believe I'm saying this, but if you survive. We'll be back for you."
Shepard – "Kaidan, whatever happens, I love you."
Kaidan – "I love you too."
Hackett – "I'm sorry we ran out of time Shepard. You're more than a credit to the uniform. Joker please send a message to the fleet and to all ground units. The Crucible is ready to fire."
Joker – "Aye sir."
The Crucible charges a massive amount of energy into each of the Citadel arms before firing its payload. The energy enveloped everything in the Sol system overloading the Reaper's Mass Effect cores and igniting the Reaper's internal power distribution architecture.
(Player Dependant Consequences)
If your galactic readiness score is below 3500 click HERE now.
Due to the Crucible's careful construction and precise engineering by: The Quarrians and Geth, The Rachni, Kenneth and Gabby's innovation, Jacob Taylor and the Ex-Cerberus scientists, Miranda Lawson and Conrad Verner's dissertation.
The Crucible was able to channel its energy through the Mass Relays without destroying them. Had the engineers made a single mistake the consequences of the Crucible's uncontrolled energy would have been devastating.
And Shepard, Shepard *Remains Alive (Keep reading). *Dies (Click link)
Shepard can be rescued from the Crucible in one of three ways: 1 Shepard brokered a lasting peace with the Geth. 2 Shepard saved the Rachni Queen twice. 3 alternatively: Shepard cured the Genophage and Grunt survived with Arlak Company.
If any ONE of these conditions are met Shepard lives. If none of these are met click HERE to see the ending where Shepard dies.
Anderson viewing the Galaxy map.
Anderson – "It's a goddamn miracle. Reaper forces are being decimated everywhere."
Hackett – "This victory came at a huge cost but we couldn't have hoped for a better outcome."
Anderson – "You could say that twice."
EDI – "Admirals! I'm picking up life signs from Shepard's suit."
Kaidan – "Shepard's alive."
EDI – "but there's a problem. Sensors say he's entering Cardiac arrest."
Kaidan – "Get him evac NOW!"
Hackett – "The closest unit to her position is a Geth Ship. They're responding. They're going to pull him out. Joker plot a course for the Geth ship, on the double!"
Joker – "Already set."
Anderson – "Dr. Chakwas, prepare the medical bay for a patient. It's Shepard."
Dr. Chakwas – "Understood."
The Normandy docks with the Geth ship. A Geth Prime walks through the airlock carrying Shepard and speeds down the hallway.
Prime – "Where are your medical facilities?"
Kaidan – "One deck down through the elevator. Follow me." Fiddling with the elevator controls.
Kaidan – "Dammit, why won't this elevator go faster? There isn't anything you could do about that could you?"
Prime – "Tampering with vertical lift hardware in an attempt to accelerate it would be inadvisable."
Kaidan – "Figures."
Dr. Chakwas scrubs in for surgery. All non-essential personnel are evacuated from the medical bay. Kaidan and the Prime exit the elevator.
Kaidan – "Chakwas, Shepard's badly hurt. But he's going to be ok right? Just tell me you'll make him all right." Kerin looks at him sincerely.
Dr. Chakwas – "Kaidan, I'll do everything in my power."
Kaidan – "That's what I need to hear." Kaidan walks out just as Anderson disembarks the elevator. The Admiral says a few words with the Prime, thanking it for its service before it leaves the Normandy. Then Anderson turns to Kaidan.
Anderson – "Cut the bullshit son. We know you're hurting."
Kaidan – "Excuse me?"
Anderson – "Just because you put on a uniform and a strong attitude every morning is no reason to act like you're tougher than your emotions. This is tearing you up inside and you won't let it show."
Kaidan – "With all due respect Sir. My emotions are none of your business . . . Ack!" Kaidan's L2 implant is starting to give him a splitting migraine.
Anderson – "On the contrary, you've become emotionally compromised with your superior officer. In violation of regulations. That makes it my business."
Kaidan gritting his teeth – "The hell are you trying to get at?!"
Anderson – "I could throw you in the brig. Make you wait in there for months."
Kaidan – "And what would that accomplish?"
Anderson – "Do you realise I could petition a judge so you two would never see each other again." Anderson backs Kaidan against the wall.
Kaidan – "Are you trying to provoke me?"
Anderson – "No I'm dead serious about this. What the Hell were you thinking Major?"
Kaidan's migraine gets worse,
Kaidan – "I wasn't thinking."
Anderson – "So was it just about a good time? A roll in the hay. You're disgraceful."
Kaidan getting angry,
Kaidan – "It was more than that! It was love. I loved him. I . . . I love him."
Kaidan breaks down, fighting back the tears.
Kaidan – "I, I can't."
Anderson – "What can't you do? You can't help him? Is that why you can't come clean?"
Kaidan leans his back against the wall and slides down. Sitting on the floor he says,
Kaidan – "I can't lose him . . . I love him and I can't lose him again."
Anderson puts his hand around his shoulder – "I know. I'm sorry. I wish there was more that I could do . . . Listen I never told anyone this but when I was a young officer I was out on a post when a call came in from my father saying that my mother had died. Instead of grieving, I just pretended that I never received the call. Until one day my father calls me up again and says they just had the funeral for mom. I missed my mother's own funeral. It may seem like you're being strong for Shepard but in reality you're simply denying yourself the ability to show him that you ever loved him. He deserves better than that. You deserve better than that."
Kaidan crying – "What about the regs?"
Anderson – "Damn the regs. You and Shepard saved the galaxy. You've earned the right to bend a few rules here and there . . . I'm sorry I had to be so hard."
Kaidan – "No it's alright."
Anderson – "Not it isn't. I went too far."
Kaidan – "Hey Anderson."
Anderson – "Yeah kid?"
Kaidan – "Thanks for setting me straight."
Anderson – "Anytime."
Through the window the assistants continue attempting to resuscitate the commander. One of the attendants pulls the window shutters closed.
3 hours later Dr. Chakwas finally steps out of the Medical bay. To her surprise the entire crew of the Normandy is there waiting
Anderson breaks the silence.
Anderson – "What is it? How is he doing?"
Dr. Chakwas – "I've got good news. He's going to make a full recovery."
The crowd breathes a collective sigh of relief, followed by cheers and applause. Kaidan gets up and asks,
Kaidan – "Can I see him?"
Dr. Chakwas – "I'm sorry he's in no condition for visitors. But if he wakes up I'll come get you."
Kaidan – "Thanks Kerrin."
Dr. Chakwas – "My pleasure. We've all been through Hell and back for what seems like forever. It's about time we all breathed a sigh of relief."
Kaidan – "It's still hard for me to believe it's all over."
Dr. Chakwas – "Shepard's alive. I can't think of a better symbol of victory than that."
2 Weeks later. At a bar on Earth by the Ocean. The cool wind flowing through the open air pavilion. Shepard and Kaidan walk up to the bar and sit down next to Wrex and Garrus.
Dr. Chakwas stands up from the corner table, sharing a bottle of Serrice Ice Brandy with Admiral Hackett. At the adjacent table is Anderson with Kahlee Sanders.
Dr. Chakwas – "Glad you could make it commander."
Shepard – "Thanks to you I did."
Dr. Chakwas – "Just doing my job Commander."
Kaidan – "Well you gave me quite a scare."
Shepard – "I would never break a promise to my boyfriend."
Kaidan kisses him. Then Garrus says,
Garrus – "Hey Commander have a drink, take a load off."
Kaidan turns to the bartender – "I'll have an ale. What about you Shepard? Want anything?"
Shepard – "Sure I'll have whatever's in that blue and purple bottle."
The bar tender pours him a drink. Taking a sip he says,
Shepard – "Well we did it Garrus, we took back Earth."
Garrus – "You took it back Shepard because I was there and I had your back. What would you do without me?"
Wrex – "Probably save the galaxy all by himself. Although not at stylishly. Speaking of which. I like the scenery. It reminds me of home."
Wrex is referring to the piles of Reaper rubble adorning the beach.
Shepard – "Well it's gonna take some work but we took Earth back."
Wrex – "Don't be modest Shepard, you did all the work. It was just fun to be along for the ride."
Garrus – "So what are you and Kaidan going to do now that the galaxy isn't in urgent need of saving?"
Shepard – "Oh I just thought I'd retire. Maybe get married. That is if he ever asks."
Kaidan – "And I will, just haven't picked the right time yet is all. And Shepard, I'd retire long before you ever did."
Hackett speaks up from the corner – "Neither of you will be. Unless you choose to. Your both Spectres the rules don't apply to you."
Anderson – "And if that's not enough we'll change them. Right Hackett?"
Hackett – "Right."
Shepard – "Well in that case I'd like to raise a toast. Wherever life leads you, I hope you find happiness. To new beginnings for all of us. To the Heroes of the Normandy, the Alliance and the Galaxy at large. Here's to all who died fighting the Reapers. Here's to our friends and lastly. Here's to our loves. Cheers!"
Crowd – "CHEERS!"
Kaidan – "Here's to us."
Shepard – "To us."
Shepard and Kaidan share a lover's kiss as the sun sets in the background over the horizon of the ocean.

Legendary songwriter Dan Penn returns with his friend Bobby Emmons to the Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant in downtown Minneapolis for a show this coming Monday, September 30. Penn's site is here; his bio is here. The show is an almost unbelievable review of Penn's almost unbelievable career at the heart of soul/rhythm and blues over the past 50 years. I have a pretty good idea what he'll be doing at the Dakota next week because I attended Penn's show there a year ago as well as his two shows there two years ago. (City Pages reviewer Danny Sigelman posted a set list from the first of the two 2011 shows here.)
I'll be there again next Monday night. You can buy tickets for this year's show online here or call for tickets at (612) 332-1010 during business hours. Penn's appearance in Minneapolis presents a rare opportunity — it does not appear that he is touring — to see a man without whom much of modern soul music as we know it would not exist.
As in 2011, Penn is appearing in Minneapolis in part through through the good offices of local record store owner Mark Treehuis of Treehouse Records, as part of Mark's "unsung legends" series. As applied to Penn, the appellation of "unsung legend" is a slight misnomer. Penn is a legend who has been sung, so to speak, by Peter Guralnick, in his great book Sweet Soul Music: Rhythm and Blues and the Southern Dream of Freedom. It's a book I've mentioned here a time or two before. Guralnick designates Penn the "secret hero" of the book:
Dan Penn is in many ways the secret hero of this book. A singer-songwriter-occasional guitar player from Vernon, a tiny town eight miles south of Muscle Shoals, he arrived in Florence [Alabama] with a song that he had written ("Is a Bluebird Blue?") which everyone knew was going to be a hit and which subsequently became one for Conway Twitty in 1960. He also came as something of a fully formed personality, even at the age of sixteen or seventeen….Dan Penn…was as definite about his musical likes and dislikes as he would be ten or twenty years later — after he had teamed up with Chips Moman, written dozens of classic r&b hits ("Dark End of the Street," "Take Me (Just As I Am)," "Sweet Inspiration," "Out of Left Field," "Do Right Woman"), with either Chips or Spooner Oldham, produced the Box Tops' #1 hit, "The Letter," and tossed off hundreds of rough demos and studio versions of his own songs, which by the account of most of the participants easily surpassed the records that were actually released.
In his show Penn ranges widely, conjuring up the spirits of Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Percy Sledge, James Carr, Jerry Wexler, and many others with whom he has worked in the course of his distinguished career. Penn's own voice is deeply soulful and emotive. As Guralnick's account intimates, Penn's versions of the songs shine even by comparison with the hit versions. In the video below, for example, dating back to a 1999 performance with his sometime collaborator Spooner Oldham, he performs "I'm Your Puppet," a smash for James and Bobby Purify in 1965.
At the first of the 2011 shows at the Dakota I ran into KFAI deejay Pete Lee, the omniscient proprietor of Bop Street, the long-running Monday afternoon drive-time show from which I have learned so much over the past twenty years. I asked Pete why Penn was the hero of Guralnick's great book. Pete patiently explained: "Because he wrote the songs." That is about the size of it.

Alert 2007-59
Subject: Counterfeit Cashier's Checks
Date: November 16, 2007
Description: The First National Bank of New Holland
Counterfeit Cashier's Checks of The First National Bank of New Holland, New Holland, OH
To: Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks; All State Banking Authorities; Chairman, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; Chairman, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; Director, Office of Thrift Supervision; Conference of State Bank Supervisors; Deputy Comptrollers (districts); Assistant Deputy Comptrollers; District Counsel; and All Examining Personnel
The above-named bank has reported that counterfeit cashier's checks issued in the bank's name but using the routing number of Miami Valley Bank, 044111191, are being presented for payment nationwide in connection with a mystery shopping scam.
The counterfeit checks are significantly different than the authentic items. The counterfeit checks may be identified by the following: the checks are of unknown color and contain a logo of an eagle in the top-left corner with the words "First National Bank." The bank name of "First National Bank of Holland, PO Box 348, New Holland, OH 43135" appears in the top-center section of the check with an incorrect abbreviated routing code of "60-119/441" to the right. A remitter section is located in the top-left portion of the instrument, the words "Cashier's Check" are located in the lower-left area, and the date section is preceded by the word "Date." The top border of the check includes the following security statement: "FOR SECURITY PURPOSES, THE FACE OF THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS A COLORED BACKGROUND AND MICROPRINTING IN THE BORDER." An additional security statement is located within the bottom-center portion of the check and is enclosed with two padlock icons: "SECURITY FEATURES INCLUDED. DETAILS ON BACK."
Checks presented to date have been made payable in the amount of $4,999.99, contain an authorized signature of Katherine Bell, use a remitter name of Debra Brooks, and contain the following statement in the bottom-center portion of the check: "VOID OVER $4,999.99." Due to possible variations of appearance of the counterfeit items and scams, it is suggested that officials of The First National Bank of New Holland be contacted to verify authenticity of the bank's cashier's checks, if received from an unknown or questionable source.
Correspondence accompanying the counterfeit instruments may contain the letterhead of "Money-Op Market Research Inc., [www.money-op.com], P.O. Box 1400, New York, NY 10040, Tel: 1-226-200-0281, Fax: 1-866-544-7540." The letter informs the recipient that he or she has been selected to participate in a paid consumer research program. It is explained that the enclosed check is to be used to purchase merchandise at various nationally known merchants as well as to transfer money using a nationally known wire service. The funds to be spent at each location are broken down with a specific dollar amount, with the shoppers being allotted a portion as payment for their mystery shopper service. Recipients are instructed to contact the accounts manager at 226-200-0281 for details on how to complete the remittance forms. Note that this telephone number originates from Kitchener, Ontario. The offer has an expiration date to further entice potential victims to act quickly. The letter may be signed by Serge Burns, Director Human Resources.
For additional information and guidance or to verify the authenticity of The First National Bank of New Holland's cashier's checks, please contact Ruth R. Murphy, Cashier, at 25 N. Main Street, PO Box 348, New Holland, OH 43145-0348, by telephone at (740) 495-5307, by fax at (740) 495-5478, or via e-mail at [firstname.lastname@example.com].

Thokozile (Thoko) Beatrex Phiri, a Malawian advocate for global health, has experienced tremendous loss due to poverty and disease. Losing several family members to HIV-TB co-infection was devastating for Thoko. But her suffering has not silenced her.
As an ambassador for the Global Fund—an institution that financially supports prevention and treatment programs for people living with HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and malaria—Thoko boldly speaks out for those in need of the fund's lifesaving efforts.
Through the support of the Global Fund and other donors, Thoko's organization—the Malawi Interfaith AIDS Association (MIAA)—focuses on the education, treatment, and mobilization of Christians and Muslims against HIV/AIDS. This faith-based partnership is not only smart, strategic, and sustainable—it is changing lives.
As part of Sojourners magazine's August 2013 coverage on health care, assistant editor Elaina Ramsey sat down with Thoko in July 2013 to discuss the urgency of investing in the global fight against HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria.—The Editors
Elaina Ramsey: Tell me about your work with the Malawi Interfaith AIDS Association.
Thoko Beatrex Phiri: MIAA is an umbrella for various faith-based organizations. In Malawi, 98 percent of the population belongs to one faith or another. The faith communities are on the forefront of HIV, TB, and malaria treatment because of their influence.

The Maine Republican Party has started a witch hunt against Maine state Senate candidate Colleen Lachowicz based on the fact that she is actually an orc assassination rogue.
To be more precise, the Senate candidate plays as a level 85 orc assassination rogue in World of WarCraft.
After finding out about Lachowicz's "addiction," the Maine GOP wasted no time before issuing an official press release dissing her. The press release condemns Lachowicz for leading a "bizarre double life."
Lachowicz has not made any effort to hide the fact that it is a World of WarCraft fan. In fact, she has blogged about it several times in its political column on DailyKOS.com.
Lachowicz is the Democratic Party candidate running against the Republican's current state senator Tom Martin. When contacted, the senator assured that he didn't know about the press release or Lachowicz's hobby. He also expressed his abasement to "mudslinging politics."
But that didn't change the state GOP's mind. "We think anyone making comments about drowning Grover Norquist and stabbing things shows a shocking level of immaturity and poor judgment that voters should know about," Maine GOP party spokesman David Sorenson said, referring to a blog post by Lachowicz where she joked about enjoying stabbing things in World of WarCraft.
"Certainly the fact that she spends so much time on a video game says something about her work ethic and, again, her immaturity," Sorenson added.
According to her website, Lachowicz has a master's degree in social work and runs the school-based programs for a statewide mental health center.
The Democratic party's chairman, Ben Grant, described the attack as "a new low this year."
" "Colleen may play 'World of Warcraft' online, but it has been far more harmful to Maine people that Tom Martin has been playing 'Worlds of Hurt' (at level 90) with their pensions, access to health care, and public schools," he wrote in a statement to the press. "It's time GOP grew up and talked about the real issues."

Coffee-Mate Offers Natural Bliss Coffee Creamer
As consumers become increasingly aware of what is on their plate and cup, the trend over the past few years has focused on simplicity and fresh, natural ingredients.
Right on trend, Nestlé USA, Glendale, Calif., introduces Coffee-mate Natural Bliss to offer dairy lovers a new way to add flavor naturally.
Revolutionary for the Coffee-mate brand of shelf-stable powdered creamers, Natural Bliss is made with only four simple ingredients: milk, cream, sugar and natural flavor. Available in the dairy section (it needs to be refrigerated), there are three flavors: Vanilla, Caramel, and Sweet Cream.
Natural Bliss is made with natural ingredients without any artificial preservatives. Each 16-oz. white bottle has soft images of each of the natural flavors, is Kosher and gluten-free. I brought a bottle into our coffee room, and it was empty almost immediately. My workmates and I gave it an enthusiastic thumbs-up.
"Coffee-mate has been the coffee creamer brand of choice for generations, and millions of people around the world can choose from more than 20 flavors to personalize their cup of coffee," says Vilma Livas, marketing manager, Nestlé Coffee-mate. "Now with Natural Bliss, we're giving people who whiten their coffee with dairy an opportunity to experience the delicious flavor that Coffee-mate is known for in a brand new, all-natural way."
Suggested retail price is $2.69.

Madagascar is a country that occupies a large island of the same name, located in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Africa. It is the fourth largest island in the world.
While Madagascar is an island in the Indian Ocean, it was originally settled by people of Indonesian and African descent, which you can clearly see when one looks at the inhabitants. Others have suggested that the people of Madagascar descended from Indonesians and Africans who mixed before their arrival on the isolated island, but studies prove people of Madagascar came from Borneo and Africa. It is not fully known how the inhabitants came there or if they were there already.
Only later did Arabs, Indians, and Chinese immigrants mix into the population of the island. The Malagasy way of thinking is a mixture of cultures, as well as their appearance and fashion style. It is a melting pot. Madagascar is part of the African Union, which is now being reconsidered due to the recent 2009 political turmoil. That said. it is essential to the people of Madagascar that tourism continues to thrive. And there is no reason why it should not. There is no violence related to the political crisis and certainly nothing a tourist needs to concern themselves with.
Madagascar's long isolation from the neighboring continents has resulted in a unique mix of plants and animals, many found nowhere else in the world. This has led some some ecologists refer to Madagascar as the "eighth continent". Of the 10,000 plants native to Madagascar, 90% are found nowhere else in the world. Madagascar's varied fauna and flora are endangered by human activity, as a third of its native vegetation has disappeared since the 1970s and since the arrival of humans 2,000 years ago, Madagascar has lost more than 90% of its original forest. Most lemurs are listed as endangered or threatened species.
The eastern, or windward side of the island is home to tropical rainforests, while the western and southern sides, which lie in the rain shadow of the central highlands, are home to tropical dry forests, thorn forests, and deserts and xeric shrublands. Madagascar's dry deciduous rain forest has been preserved generally better than the eastern rainforests or the high central plateau, presumably due to historically low population densities.
The climate is tropical along the coast, temperate inland, and arid in the south. The weather is dominated by the southeastern trade winds that originate in the Indian Ocean anticyclone, a center of high atmospheric pressure that seasonally changes its position over the ocean. Madagascar has two seasons: a hot, rainy season from November to April; and a cooler, dry season from May to October. There is, however, great variation in climate owing to elevation and position relative to dominant winds. The east coast has a subequatorial climate and, being most directly exposed to the trade winds, has the heaviest rainfall, averaging as much as 3,500 mm (137.8 in) annually. This region is notorious not only for a hot, humid climate in which tropical fevers are endemic but also for the destructive cyclones that occur during the rainy season, coming in principally from the direction of the Mascarene Islands. Because rain clouds discharge much of their moisture east of the highest elevations on the island, the central highlands are appreciably drier and, owing to the altitude, also cooler. Thunderstorms are common during the rainy season in the central highlands, and lightning is a serious hazard.
Antananarivo receives practically all of its average annual 1,400 mm (55.1 in) of rainfall between November and April. The dry season is pleasant and sunny, although somewhat chilly, especially in the mornings. Although frosts are rare in Antananarivo, they are common at higher elevations.
From April 2009 any tourist from any nationality can enter Madagascar without purchasing a visa if staying less than a month. (Visa free).
From Europe, the best connections are with Air Madagascar ("AirMad"), Air France or Corsair from Paris to Antananarivo. AirMad also flies from Milan to Antananarivo and Nosy Be (a small island off the North of Madagascar).
Travelers from the east typically fly using links from Air Mauritius . However, since 2003 Air Madagascar has a twice weekly service from Bangkok to Antananarivo.
Air Madagascar also operates a weekly service between Nairobi and Antananarivo.
Flights from Johannesburg, South Africa, using Air Madagascar codeshared with SA Airlink . Flights run 6 days a week.
The only regular link is from Toamasina on the east coast and Mauritius via Reunion.
Air Madagascar serves numerous destinations throughout the country, which is a good thing considering the bad state of the roads. Besides the big cities, lots of little hamlets are also served.
It is advisable to check the status of your flight in advance, as timetable changes can occur at fairly short notice.
There was some political unrest in 2002, which resulted in some airports being temporarily shut.
Passengers who arrive in Madagascar on a long-haul flight from Air Madagascar can benefit from reductions on the order of 25% on the company's internal flights.
There are four rail lines in Madagascar :
With the Malagasy railway network dating from the colonial period, breakdowns are frequent due to poor maintenance, and a line may be closed for several weeks.
The train is not the fastest and most comfortable means of travel, but it lets you admire the magnificent landscapes (especially on the line connecting Fianarantsoa to Manakara) and discover the Malagasy fruits and dishes offered at every stop. You can taste what is in season at little cost : crayfish, bananas, cinnamon apples, sambos, zebu sausages, oranges... Travelling by train is cheap (1st class from Fianarantsoa to Manakara only 25000Ar (less than 10€)). You want to choose a 1st class seat; or get up very early if you want to be sure to get a 2nd class ticket since it is always extremely crowded (the train is the only mean of transport for many villagers) and no booking is possible in 2nd class. Unfortunately, the train that runs between Manakara and Fianarantsoa has become less reliable lately (early 2007) due to poor conditions of the tracks.
For short trips, you might be able to board a goods train. Just ask the driver but make sure you get off the train before entering the big cities since this way to travel is not totally legal.
This is the only inexpensive way to get around, but Madagascar's roads are almost all of very low grade (with the exception of 2 routes leading out of Tana). Many roads are studded with potholes and are quagmires in the rainy season. Be warned that travel by road will almost always take much more time than you would normally expect. Hire of a 4WD vehicle can reduce this problem but the cost will be higher but still very cost effective if you are not traveling alone and able to split the rental fee between the members of your group.(around USD70/day/car, updated Feb 2010) Due to the poor condition of the roads many car hire companies will only rent you a car if you use one of their drivers. In most cases, The driver can as your guide and translator as well.
This is the way most natives travel around the country. There are three major modern roads in the country: RN7 from Tana to Toliara, RN2 from Tana to Tomasina (via Brickaville) and RN4 from Tana to Mahajanga. Trips between those towns take about a day whereas traveling between Tana and Taolagnaro, a south-eastern coastal town, would take about 3 or 4 days due to the condition of the road. Travel is cramped and don't expect air conditioning. Expect dust to be a problem in the dry season. Travel by Taxi-Brousse is guaranteed to test one's patience and sanity, but there is quite possibly no better way to meet and interact with the locals and experience Madagascar as the Malagasy do. Taxi-brousse is by far the cheapest way to travel, but do not expect to leave or arrive on time. Indeed, the drivers wait for their 15 seats small buses to bet full before leaving, therefore a few hours delay is never excluded! However, during the trip it allows you to admire the breathtaking landscapes Madagascar holds.
In Tana, the cheapest way to get around is by taxi-be, or big taxi, which is a bit larger than a mini-van. There is one aisle with seats to fold down so they can cram in even more people. During peak season, buses run frequently.
If you are looking for an unusual holiday, a yacht charter to Madagascar might be a good choice. You can be sure that your neighbors have not been there and done that… For those who would like to bareboat, a "guide" is usually included in the price of the yacht charter. Although obligatory, he comes with the price and is essential for the multitude of services he will provide. He will prepare the food, recommend anchorages, know where to fish and refill the water tanks. He will speak the local language and have an established relationship with the local people. He will protect the boat from theft when you leave it to explore on land. The guide lives completely on the exterior of the boat and does not require a cabin. A yacht charter to Madagascar is a bit of a "Robinson Crusoe" adventure. Once you embark, you will not be able to stock up provisions again and must live off the fish and seafood you will catch for yourself (or with your guide). So take great care with your provisioning list. This problem can be avoided by chartering one of the crewed catamarans. Cats are designed for stability so sea sickness is not really a problem. The crew prepare the boat with linen, food and drinks before your arrival -basically these boats are like a personal floating hotel. Depending on which boat you choose you could receive excellent service and food and suggestions of where to go and what to do. Choose your catamaran carefully as there are some really old ones in service- make sure the crew can speak your language.
Madagascar is a great place to tour by bike and staying in small towns and villages along the way gives a real sense of what the country is all about. A mountain bike or heavy duty tourer at least is required as the roads can be in poor to terrible condition. In rainy season on the East coast the main North-south road can become impassable, possibly leading to a two day walk - over soft sand in one section - this is not an easily rideable route. Generally there is little to no traffic which makes cruising around a great pleasure. The people are amazingly friendly and you'll be greeted with crowds of children shouting 'Vazaha' in every village. There are little or no facilities for cyclists, so be prepared to camp rough (ask if it is somebody's land and never too near a family grave) or sleep in very basic guesthouses. Likely you will be invited to stay in people's houses. Bring a spare tire, puncture kit, chain, brake/gear cable, derailleur and all the tools you need.
Located 45 minutes north of Morondava on Madagascar's west coast it is one of the most visited sites in the Menabe Region. A candidate as one of the 7 Wonders of Africa; efforts are underway to protect this unique grove of more than a dozen trees. Some of the trees, Adansonia grandidieri, are over 800 years old and reach a height of 30+ meters. Truly a photographers paradise and especially beautiful at sunset.
The remarkable thing about Madagascar is that the entire island speaks one language: Malagasy, an Austronesian language. As well as being the name of the language, "Malagasy" also refers to the people of the island. Because the island is so large there are many different dialects. The Merina dialect is the "Official Malagasy" of the island and is spoken around highlands of Antananarivo. Most Malagasy, however, speak Merina across the island. Madagascar is very humid.
French is the second official language of Madagascar. The government and large corporations use French in everyday business, but 75-85% of Malagasy only have limited proficiency in this language. Attempts by foreigners to learn and speak Malagasy are liked and even encouraged by the Malagasy people.
The third official language is English, though very few people speak English. It became an official language in 2007. Since then it is becoming more common to find locals speaking the language.
The Malagasy people are generally considered to be patriotic. When Madagascar gained independence from France, the Malagasy changed much within the culture and languages, returning back to their original customs and traditions again. Today, Malagasy is the daily language spoken by 98% of the population in Madagascar, and since 1972, Malagasy language has been used as the teaching language in schools. However, some of Malagasy people are familiar or even fluent with foreign languages such as English, French, or German.
The unit of money is the ariary. 1 € is about 2900 ariary and 1 US$ is about 2000 ariary as of 2010. The value of the ariary has been rather stable for a few years. The currency system was overhauled in 2006. Prior to 2006 the unit of currency was the Malagasy Franc (Franc Malgache) and was worth 1/5 of an ariary, for example, 10,000 Francs = 2000 Ariary. However, old banknotes in Francs are still legal tender. Whenever negotiating a price, always confirm the amount in ariary. Unscrupulous merchants have been known to state the amount due without specifying the currency so that buyers are duped into paying 5 times the amount due because of Franc/Ariary confusion.
You can withdraw money from ATM's in the cities, using a Visa or Visa Electron card. Mastercard can be used with ATM's of the BNI bank.
Vanilla and other spices are cheap in Madagascar compared to Europe or elsewhere, and the quality (especially of vanilla) is very good. (Vanilla is about 2 € for 10 pods in Mada, compared to 3 € for 2 pods in France.)
The cheapest way to get a meal is to eat at a "hotely". For about 1300 ariary (or a little less than $1) you can buy a plate of rice, laoka (malagasy for side dish accompanying rice) like chicken, beans or pork, and rice water. For 200 ariary extra you can get a small glass of homemade yogurt.
Bananas (hundreds of varieties) and rice cakes (Malagasy 'bread') are staple 'street food' and available everywhere. Coffee is very good, usually hand-made by the cup and served very sweet with condensed milk. Steak-frites is available in restaurants in the larger towns.
There is no safe tap water so be prepared with bottled water, which is usually easily obtainable. The only other option is ranon'apango (RAN-oo-na-PANG-oo) or rice water (water used to cook rice, which will therefore have been boiled). It's particularly important to plan ahead if visiting rural areas.
In towns, roadside drink stands, stores and bars are plentiful. Most sell a range of drinks including bottled water, Coca Cola and Madagascar's beer, Three Horses Beer ("THB"). You can also try the bubblegum flavored soda 'Bonbon Anglais' (similar to South American Inka Cola, if you are very brave!). Be warned that this may be sold as 'limonade' - leading you to think it may be lemonade.
Home brewed rum, and creme de coco, is also available - in many flavours!
Madagascar is a fairly safe country. You must, however, respect some simple principles:
It should also be noted that, like any other developing country, the presence of beggars never goes unnoticed. This is sometimes uncomfortable for tourists, but these people should be respected none-the-less. They are, predictably, attracted to foreigners and will not hesitate to ask for a hand out. If you don't want to be bothered, a simple "Non, merci" or "Tsy Misy (tsee-meesh)" (I have nothing) will do the trick. If they persist, try shouting "Mandehana! (man-day-han)" (Go Away!). It is recommended not to give money, but other useful items, such as a banana, a piece of bread, etc. It is usually accepted with gratitude, and if the beggar is a child, he will run away with a smile on his face. It is imperative not to encourage begging - in Madagascar the people do not really believe in getting something for nothing and will invariably offer you something first. For example a chameleon to photograph. Before giving freely ask the person if you can take a picture - this discourages begging and encourages the fact that they are not receiving for no return.
While the AIDS epidemic has not reached the devastating level found in many southern African countries, it is widely assumed that the incidence of AIDS is underestimated and rising. You should take no risks and avoid unprotected sex in all cases.
Areas inhabited by humans will invariably have large populations of stray dogs. Never provoke a stray dog, and although bites are rare, if bitten seek medical assistance promptly as rabies is not unheard of.
Research malaria prophylaxis options, and follow through. If you are not taking any prophylactics, be sure to always use a mosquito net for sleeping, and apply mosquito repellents once dusk sets in. On-skin repellent (only repellents containing ~40% DEET are effective, such as NoBite, Azeron Before Tropics etc.) is good but should be used in combination with on-clothes repellent (i.e. NoBite). The clothes repellent is odorless approximately an hour after application, and clothes can be washed up to 4 times before it needs to be re-applied. If you wear long-sleeve clothing treated with the repellent and apply on-skin repellent to the skin parts not covered, you will be very safe against mosquito bites and can skip the prophylaxis with its notorious side effects. Be sure to take the repellent issue seriously, though, as it's very easy to fall into a more 'relaxed' mode after you've spent some time in the country.
Remember that Madagascar is in the tropics and take precautions against sunburn and heat exhaustion seriously. Wear lots of sunscreen and keep hydrated. Remember that a cloudy day does not mean you won't get burnt.
Everyday life in Madagascar is regulated by numerous fady (taboos) which vary from one region to another. They can forbid foods (pork, lemur, turtle... ), wearing clothes of a particular colour, bathing in a river or a lake. Observance of "Fady" is mostly limited to rural areas, as tourists will most likely not run into this problem if they stay in the main towns.
Fady are attributed to ancestors, to whom Malagasy adopt a respectful attitude whatever their religion. It is safest to respect these prohibitions and not violate them, even if you feel they don't make sense. Inform yourself about local fady when you arrive in a new place.
When addressing anyone older than you or in a position of authority (e.g. police, military, customs officials), use the word "tompoko (toom-pook)" the same way you would use "Sir" or "Ma'am" in English. Respect for elders and authority figures is important in Madagascar.

A contractor has halted construction on a prefabricated residential high-rise near Brooklyn's Barclays Center and the Atlantic Terminal train yards.
The New York Times reports (http://nyti.ms/1C8djBA ) Skanska stopped work at the site on Tuesday and closed down its prefabrication hub at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Wednesday.
Continue Reading Below
The newspaper says the Swedish construction firm and construction manager cited design flaws and tens of millions of dollars in extra costs in its decision.
The company had a $117 million contract to supply 930 modules for the 32-story tower. It's the first of 14 planned prefabricated structures in the recently renamed Pacific Park development.
Project developer Forest City Ratner told the newspaper it is confident the buildings will be built and that the Skanska dispute is strictly over money.

text: The Joffrey Ballet is a dance company founded in 1956 by Robert Joffrey. Gerald Arpino was co-founder of the troupe and became its longtime choreographer. The company began as a six-dancer touring ensemble with roots in New York City. By the time the company relocated to Chicago in 1995, it had developed a reputation for athletic dancers and a modern repertoire. Arpino, who became artistic director after Joffrey's 1988 death, led the company until 2007 and died in 2008. Joffrey Tower, 8 E. Randolph St., serves as the company's headquarters, while Roosevelt University's Auditorium Theatre is the main venue for its performances. Many notable choreographers have worked with the Joffrey, including Arpino, Alvin Ailey, Twyla Tharp and George Balanchine. The Joffrey was the basis for director Robert Altman's 2003 movie "The Company," which featured the group's dancers as well as actor Malcolm McDowell as a character based on Arpino.

Playing in its first-ever state championship game, the Pleasantville High School football team came away with the title Sunday afternoon, defeating Chenango Forks of Binghamton 28-14 in the Class B title game at Syracuse University's Carrier Dome.
Junior quarterback Jack Howe and running back Charlie McPhee were offensive standouts for the Panthers. McPhee gained 115 yards on 22 carries, including the game's final touchdown. Howe had the other three Pleasantville touchdowns.
Cornerback James Daniele and Danny Melillo, defensive end Jack Minerva and linebackers Nolan Egan and Nicholas Salzarulo excelled on defense for the Panthers, who led 14-7 at halftime.
Coach Tony Beccera's Panthers had defeated Glens Falls, 20-7, in Middletown in the semifinals.
Pleasantville is the lone state champ this year from Section 1, which is made up of schools from Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess and Rockland. Yorktown fell Friday in the Class A final, losing to Section 6 champion West Seneca 14-6 at the Carrier Dome.

HANG TIME, Texas — Often in life, timing is everything. It's the same in the NBA, too.
Just when the start of the playoffs — eight days away — is coming into sight, the Spurs are seeing stars. And scars.
The grind of the 82-game regular season just keeps grinding down the team that held onto the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference standings for months.
Boris Diaw underwent surgery for the removal of a lumbar cyst from his spine and is expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks.
The loss of Diaw comes with Manu Ginobili likely sidelined for the start of the playoffs by a strained right hamstring. Tony Parker has also missed three of the past four games with a sore neck and has been laboring through an assortment of other injuries, including a Grade 2 ankle sprain that kept him out for eight games.
Imagine that. Tim Duncan will turn 37 in just two weeks and he's suddenly looking like the spryest guy on the roster, averaging 30 minutes, 26.5 points and 12 rebounds in April.
The loss of Diaw, at least for the first several weeks of the playoffs, could take a toll on an already undersized Spurs frontline. Can they get all the way to The Finals with a big man trio of Duncan, Tiago Splitter and Matt Bonner?
DeJuan Blair, who for much of the season was used only in mop-up duty, will be back in the rotation and second-year man Kawhi Leonard could be forced to play some minutes at power forward.
All of this comes at a time when the Spurs have fallen a half-game behind Oklahoma City in the race for the No. 1 seed and home-court advantage in the West bracket. But to coach Gregg Popovich that is a secondary issue.
In Parker's case, he says he wants to develop some kind of rhythm in the last four games before the playoffs begin and is lobbying to start tonight at home against Sacramento. But he's got to convince his coach, who usually errs on the side of caution with injuries.
"You don't worry about your playoff seeding because if that makes you play (injured players) when they shouldn't be playing, you're going to be screwed come playoff time anyway," Popovich told the San Antonio Express-News. "Your main concern is to have people be as healthy as possible come playoff time.
"If you're the best team, the seeding doesn't really matter. You wouldn't give up first, second, third or fourth seed and say, 'Yes, please give me fifth or sixth.' Nobody would do that, but the best team doesn't have to have the best record. It has to be healthy."

And then there were three.
For 30 of the NFL's 32 teams, anyway. The Patriots and Texans still need to play on Monday night and everyone in the league will have just three games left in the regular season when they do. Sunday provided clarity to some playoff pictures and added intrigue to others and it left us with plenty to talk about on Monday's edition of Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports Network.
Erik Kuselias, Mike Florio and Rodney Harrison will be on hand to hit all of the developments you need to know about from around the league this Monday. They'll talk about the AFC playoff picture, discuss which coaches might have helped themselves remain on the job and hit on all of the biggest moments from Sunday's games.
NBC officiating consultant Jim Daopoulos will talk about some questionable calls from Sunday. The interception thrown by Colts quarterback Andrew Luck when his knee appeared to be down and Reggie Nelson's big hit on Dez Bryant will be among the topics up for discussion.
It all gets going at 5 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network.
