Gialuchi Salon & Day Spa's beauty professionals restore careworn bodies to their showroom best with pampering and beautifying treatments. Aided by products from Pureology, Eminence Organic Skin Care, and OPI, they cut and color hair, wax off unwanted strands, and groom nails with coconut milk, hot stones, or milk and honey. Eyelash extensions add drama to flirtatious winks, and permanent makeup lines the lips, fills in eyebrows, or traces favorite road-trip routes into laugh lines.
Beautiville's licensed aestheticians bathe skin-cessories in soothing balms and a tranquil island ambience. Guests sip complimentary, organic Asantae coffee and gourmet Tea Forté tea in a clean lounge girded by aquamarine walls as they await their claw-coddling. During the next 60–80 minutes, a careful sculpting, buffing, and polishing transform nails and cuticles into scintillating helmets for crowd-pleasing fingerboard stunts and fearless line-toeing. The spa's appendage experts extend their love to skin with moisturizing lotions, a tension-deflating digit bath, and a hand and foot massage. For an additional charge, Beautiville offers childcare services while parents receive pampering.
Ocean waves lap against the white-sand lagoon along Oahu's western shore, where palm fronds wave in the breeze and lush flowers bloom. This oasis sets the stage for the JW Marriott Ihilani, whose spa believes that the sea can heal and rejuvenate both body and soul. This philosophy leads to a bevy of tropical, ocean-inspired treatments: fresh Hawaiian seawater flows through water jets during a thalasso massage, Hawaiian ti leaves soothe skin in a wrap, and liquid-calcium seaweed pearls add luxury to facials. Even fitness sessions place guests right on the beach so they can jog in the ocean or do bicep curls with pineapples. Water and steam also ease tension in the sauna, steam room, and a Roman pool, whose artistic tile work evokes the empire.
The spa's other elegant decor, accented by vases of flowers and fronds etched into glass or tiled into mosaics, subtly reflects the surrounding tropical paradise. Guests lounge amid the marble countertops and pristine white stone while wearing plush robes. While at the spa, they can also visit the full-service salon for quick blowouts or join a yoga class to prepare for their pretzel Halloween costumes.
The stylists at Studio 6 Salon & Spa transform clients' hair with cuts, colors, and other styling services. KeraSmooth keratin treatments leave locks sleek, and Forever Blonde coloring treatments lighten hair and make it grab people's attention like a howler monkey in a library.
Salon C is a full-service salon that updates clients' looks while bestowing them with personalized attention and complimentary beverages. The experienced and well-rounded staff—composed of Paul Mitchell educators and graduates of the Aveda Institute—keeps their skills current through continual education. Ever on the hunt for the most flattering looks, they begin each service with a thorough consultation that evaluates clients' eye color, skin tone, and DNA.
On the spa side of the treatment menu, aestheticians use Dermologica skincare products to foster younger-looking facades, while waxing techs create hair-free surfaces. Makeup artists forge temporary or permanent enhancements, and nail techs add another dimension to fingers and toes with 3-D nail art.

Housing for Canon SD1000 (IXUS 70) & SD1100 (IXUS 80) Digital Cameras Ikelite Housing #6147.10 ...... This Product Has Been Discontinued ( This Page Is For Reference Only ) |
Ikelite Housing #6147.10 This compact digital housing is molded of corrosion free clear polycarbonate, it is virtually indestructible with heavy duty walls that allow it to operate safely to 60m (200 feet). All functions of the camera are accessible, except the print button. A flash diffuser is included to aid in improving lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used to illuminate subjects underwater. |
Optional color filters #6441.32 for tropical blue water and #6441.72 for green water settings provide color correction in sunny conditions up to 80' (24m). For use without a strobe. For optimum lighting underwater an optional external strobe (flash) is recommended. Ikelite strobes are brighter, recycle faster and offer wider coverage than the camera's flash. Being farther from the camera lens, the strobe aids in reducing the illumination of particles in the water which helps to eliminate backscatter. Complete strobe systems are available for either automatic or manual exposure. Click here or on the link at the bottom of the page for information on recommended strobe systems. |
Accessory lens port adapters (not included) are available for the attachment of the #6420 Ikelite W-20, Inon, or Epoque external wide-angle lenses. See the product instruction manual in pdf format. |

The First National
Bank of Fort Smith was organized February 29, 1872, as "The National
Bank of Western Arkansas." A charter was issued by the Comptroller
of the Currency, authorizing the bank to commence business on March
The history of Fort Smith is largely the story of the First National
Bank. The history of any town is but a record of the achievement of
its people. While Fort Smith was founded in 1817, it was not until
1872, the date of the organization of this bank, that the town began
to assume a position in the commercial world.
The Bank was
established by Bernard Baer, Logan H. Roots, Richard C. Kerens, Elis
S. Mitchell, Dr. E. R.. Duvall, and Arthur Gunther, men familiar
with the conditions confronting the town, and with faith in its
possibilities and its future. The first large industrial plant to be
organized was promoted largely by Bernard Baer and Logan H. Roots,
the principal officers and stockholders of the bank. This was the
Fort Smith Oil and Cotton Company. Shortly thereafter, Samuel McLoud,
George T. Sparks, and James Vaile, who had become identified as
Directors in the bank, organized the first large furniture factory
to be established here under the firm name of McLoud, Vaile and
In 1888, the bank made two historic moves. It had outgrown the
original small frame building, located on what is now the corner of
Garrison Avenue and Court Streets, and occupied a new brick building
at Sixth and Garrison. Following the failure of another area bank
which had once been named "First National," the National Bank of
Western Arkansas changed its name to the First National Bank of Fort
By 1909, after three decades of steady growth, First National Bank
of Fort Smith had outgrown its quarters. This time, the directors
decided to build for the future and organized the First National
Building Corporation which constructed the existing eight story
white brick First National Building on the corner of Sixth and
Garrison. This imposing landmark was completed at the close of that
year, and first occupied by the bank on January 31, 1910.
During its years of service to the communities of Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma, The First National Bank of Fort Smith has had only seven presidents. In 1872, Bernard Baer, one of the Bank's original founders, was elected President. Mr. Baer was born in Germany in 1836 and settled in Van Buren in 1860 before moving to Fort Smith. In 1884, with the arrival of the Frisco Railroad, Fort Smith experienced a "boom" and the Bank served as the financial cornerstone for its growth.
Mr. Baer died in 1886 and was succeeded as President by George T. Sparks. Born in Fort Smith in 1848, Mr. Sparks, a member of the Bank's Board of Directors, served as President from 1886 until his death in 1907. At this time, Samuel McLoud, who served as Vice President of the Bank and as a member of the Board of Directors, was elected President. Mr. McLoud came to Fort Smith in 1863, in charge of a government pack train from St. Louis and was appointed Master of Transportation at the Fort until the end of the Civil War.
Following the death of Mr. McLoud in 1914, Frank A. Handlin was elected as President. Mr. Handlin began his career with the Bank in 1888 as a bookkeeper and advanced successfully through numerous positions. In 1925, upon the death of Mr. Handlin, Mr. A.N. Sicard, son-in-law of Samuel McLoud, was elected President. Mr. Sicard, born in Mosinee, Wisconsin on July 10, 1868, began his banking career at age 17, as a clerk in a Warsaw, Wisconsin bank. Mr. Sicard moved to Fort Smith in 1889 and, in association with his father-in-law, operated the Fort Smith Traction Company. Under the leadership of Mr. Sicard, The First National Bank of Fort Smith continued to grow, despite the economic depression of the 1930's. With the opening of Ft. Chaffee at the start of World War II, Fort Smith and the Bank experienced yet another "boom" in their growth and from 1935 through 1945 the Bank's assets doubled.
A.N. Sicard died in 1942 and his son, McLoud Sicard, was elected President. During the 1950's the Bank's growth continued, necessitating an expansion of the First National Bank building. Completed in 1958, the Bank's expansion included a new wing on the east side of the building, two new drive-in units, and a drive-up facility at the rear of the building. McLoud Sicard served as President of the Bank through 1976.
In 1977, Samuel M. Sicard, son of McLoud Sicard, was elected President of the Bank. In 1989, First Bank Corp. was formed as the parent holding company of The First National Bank of Fort Smith. Since that time, National Bank of Sallisaw; Citizens Bank and Trust Company in Van Buren; the acquisition and merger of River Valley Bank & Trust; First National Bank of Rogers, a division of The First National Bank of Fort Smith, formerly known as the Bank of Rogers; Brown-Hiller-Clark & Associates; and Realty Appraisals, Inc. have been added to the First Bank Corp. Financial Family. Mr. Sicard held the position of Chairman, President and CEO of The First National Bank of Fort Smith and First Bank Corp until his death in August of 2011.
Under the leadership of these men, the bank has grown to be the
largest in Fort Smith and one of the largest in the state. The bank
has added eleven full service branches with drive-in facilities, as
well as twenty-four hour teller machines at most of these locations.
In 1989, First Bank Corporation was formed as the parent holding
company of First National Bank. Since that time,
National Bank of Sallisaw,
Citizens Bank and Trust
in Van Buren,
Brown-Hiller-Clark & Associates and Realty Appraisals have been added to
the First Bank Corp Financial Family.
Through First Bank Corporation, we now offer our customers the
availability of 31 ATM's and 25 full-service bank locations in the
Western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma region. With the addition of Brown-Hiller-Clark in 2002, which is the largest independent
insurance agency in our trade area, we now offer our customers a
complete array of financial services including
and investments.

"I Wish I Wouldn't Have Let Him Talk..."
I went to Dr. Hartog with my 700cc circus boobs wishing to have them explanted because like many women who have had circus boobs there becomes a point that you're DONE. After convincing me that I'd be disfigured I opted for 500cc replacement implants. MISTAKE. Still have circus boobs. Still unhappy. more

I've always had small breasts, Before pregnancy, I was almost in a B cup, after 4 pregnancies, I'm now an A cup on my left, 1/2 an A on my right. I've been wanting implants for years, but have always had the "mommy guilt"- Didn't want to spend that much money on myself. My job- I do THOSE parties ;) - has taught me to appreciate myself and that it is okay to do things for myself. My... more
I have always been in the " itty bitty titty committee" and been heartbroken about it. My Mother and Sisters have these big overflowing breast and they would tell me how they think I'm great the way I was (that's what they had to say LOL). Anyway, since probably middle school though, when girls start developing, and I never did, I experienced my first taste of real insecurity. Lids can be so... more
"4 days post op and new pics!"
I have always been small chested. I've always wanted and dreamed of bigger boobs but wasnt very thrilled with the idea of getting fake ones. But after having my now 3.5 year old daughter and breastfeeding, I finally got to experience a fuller look. And I LOVED it. After breastfeeding- they went back to a sad 34A. Since then I have planned on having surgery to achieve a full C. I figure with... more
"Within Weeks I Have Bubbling Pain on..."
Within weeks I had a bubbling feeling on the left and went into see Dr Slade. Granted some say his bedside manner is not the best but he was always polite enough. I also told him I thought I had cysts on right side. He said he felt nothing. Sent me for a mammogram and followup with ultrasound and yes I was right. I had cysts. Even if he didn't feel them I certainly did (I have since have them... more
"Best Results for 2 Proceedures (10..."
10 years later they still look amazing! I also got nose job at the same time and that's been great too. As long as you go into this with realistic expectations for your body type, he will not disappoint you. Down time wasn't bad for me, nose jobs are just a pain because it itches but never have I regretted it. In fact, I plan on getting more work done soon by him. more
"Finally Sliding into 2nd Base, Boobs..."
I am 30 and have 3 kids, had 32b boobs before kids but after breastfeeding all 3 I now am a deflated 32A. I really can't wait to feel sexy again for myself.

I am very petite 4'11" and 106 pounds and I really dont want... more
"Excellent Experience - Winter Park, FL"
I wanted to be more proportionate. I was always small on top and even smaller after two kids. I had them done in March of 2011 and I have been happy since day one. I had minimal swelling and one small area of bruising. My incisions look great and both my Gyn and my primary doctors said the same when I was at my annual appointments with them. more
Starting after High School many of my friends started getting implants, I hate needles and blood, so never considered it. I am very bottom heavy and after a while started consider implants to balance me out. I am so glad I went through with it the pain wasn't near as bad as I thought. Recovery was quick I was out shopping less then a few days later, and a bridesmaid 2 weeks later. Many... more
"Breast Implants - Best Thing I Have..."
My doctor was the best. He listened to what I wanted and delivered it just the way I expected. Of course there was a little pain involved, but my doctor and staff were and still are always there to answer questions and make my experience the best it ever could be. My doctor is at the top of his field and I would tell anyone wanting a Breast Implants or anything else should go to see him. He... more
"Implants After Breast Feeding - Best..."
Pros: fullness, firmness, lifting effect. Cons: awkward to sleep on your stomach. After breastfeeding, I was unhappy with the elongated shape of my breasts. Since I was already a small c-cup, I was trying to decide between a lift and implants (I couldn't afford both). After my consult, I opted for 350cc saline high profile implants, putting me at a small d-cup. I must say recovery... more
I chose this procedure to help myself feel better about myself.also bcause i have four kids and i felt it was time to do something for me.one good thing about the procedure i did was that i have built self esteem for my self.the only bad thing was the pain.all though that wasnt as bad as i expected.the first day i just slept,and the next couple of days it was hard to get comfortable but it... more
No pros whatsoever...Maybe other doctors are good at what they do. Mine left me with breasts that look as though they are from two different people. Let me give you a brief rundown of all the issues I am left with after 7500 dollars: - No feeling throughout either of my breasts - only internal pain I can not describe! - My areolas are everywhere when they were even prior to this. -... more

"Saline Implants 10 Years Ago. Now..."
I had implants put in about ten years ago, over the muscle. Back then I had a lot of young firm breast tissue that covered the implant, so there wasn't any rippling.I was never completley satisfied because they were never properly aligned, and this caused one to appear to droop just a little. Also back then saline was thee only option and they tend to be too round for a natral look.Now I have... more

Pros: increased confidence, clothes fit and look better, helped even out the proportions of my body.Cons: discomfort even years after surgery,decreased nipple sensation, very painful recoveryI had breast implant surgery mainly because I felt insecure about my small bust and it was affecting my love life with my long time boyfriend because I hated him to see my breasts naked.

Kwame Kilpatrick tells judge his trial was unfairBy Associated Press

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is asking a judge to throw out his corruption conviction, claiming he was the victim of media bias and a bad lawyer. Kilpatrick made the written request on his own Monday in Detroit federal court. He says he's also filed a complaint against lawyer James Thomas with the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission. In March, Kilpatrick and his buddy, Bobby Ferguson, were convicted of racketeering conspiracy and other crimes. The government said Kilpatrick fixed contracts to favor Ferguson, accepted bribes and abused a nonprofit fund. Thomas declined to talk about Kilpatrick's dissatisfaction with him and tells The Detroit News he's still representing the former mayor. Kilpatrick is in a federal prison in Milan while he awaits his sentence. No date has been set. Topics in this article:Kilpatrick, Kwame

Jimmy Kimmel's hatred of Jay Leno continues to fester ... so much so, he RIPPED the late night talk show host a new one ... calling him a "sellout" who hasn't seen a laugh in years.
Jimmy unleashed a flurry of insults in a new interview with Rolling Stone ... telling the mag "Leno hasn't been a good stand-up in 20 years."
For the nail in the coffin, he adds ... "As a comedian, you can't NOT have disdain for what he's done. He totally sold out. He was a master chef who opened a Burger King." Snap.
FYI -- Kimmel's had beef with Leno for years ... starting way back in 1992 when Leno beat out Kimmel's comedic hero David Letterman for "The Tonight Show" gig.
Kimmel is slated to go head-to-head with Leno and Letterman when his show moves to 11:35 PM this week.
Uh, Jimmy, Jay is 10 times funnier than you will ever be. I try watching your monolog from time to time, but had to give up cause it is not funny. Try watching Jay, maybe you will learn something
Gotta love it when someone 'slams' someone with a description that also aptly applies to themselves.
I really don't like none of the dude cause they don't write a thing and they just have the public do their jokes.. "Ok we setup some mom telling their kids no candy for Halloween..." Like word?? Fallon is wack too, he tries to act all nice and stuff, but he had no respect for Bill Cosby, fake laughin.. He wanted Cosby off the stage, its all cause he's too young. None of these dudes should be on TV cause **** really ain't funny anymore, revolution thyme.
Jay is a class act and has earned his reputation with a long, successful career.... something Jimmy can't quite understand.
Jimmy has a lot of balls to claim Jay is a no talent sellout. Jimmy rode in on Adam Carolla's coat tails and has played the same tired shtick ever since. He might be going head to head with the big boys now but it won't be long before he has to settle for going ass to mouth with the "used to be" & "never was" losers he belongs with.
Never found Kimmel to be a laugh riot either so who is he to talk about other comedians not being on top of their game? And his hero Dave Letterman hasn't been funny since the 1:00 AM Late Night w/ David Letterman slot he hosted in the early eighties so STFU dude. I used to like Dave but he's been a bitter old man telling mean pissy jokes at others expense for a long time now. That shtick is not funny!
Stop it, None of them are funny and certainly not comedians. Real comedians died when we lost Skelton, Benny, the Marx Brothers, Hope and others. Today's supposed comedians could not get a laugh without vulgarity and hate filled speech. There isn't one funny late-night comedian with a tinkers damn--we do them a great disservice falsely worshiping them and their inane material. Even the President stoops to the level of ignorance when he lowers the Offices image and appears on their make-believe shows. Hell, reruns of the Roadrunner are a thousand times funnier than any of them and certainly more entertaining.
Kimmel is right. Jay USED to be funny many years ago but sold out and changed his style. Like Dice Clay did when half a dozen idiots complained about his act. Clay went in the toilet after he changed to a cleaner act.
I hate Jay Leno. He's so awkward and annoying and as for what he did to Conan, it was just awful. Love kimmel

Residents along North Carolina's southern coast say they have been rattled by unexplained booms twice in 24 hours.
The StarNews of Wilmington reported that people called emergency dispatchers in New Hanover and Brunswick counties Saturday morning to ask about the noises and to report their homes shaking.
Residents also reported booms and rattling windows and doors Friday afternoon.
Stoney Creek Plantation resident Brook Lasko told the newspaper that the booms felt like bombing exercises that she remembered from when she lived near Fort Bragg.
Officials at nearby airports and military bases say there was no training going on that could explain the booms. The U.S. Geological Survey had no report of an earthquake in the area that could explain the shaking.

The Artcurial sale at Paris' Retromobile event last month wasn't the only major auction...
Artist Barry Rowe produces Pebble Beach concours poster
Automotive Fine Arts Society member Barry Rowe has produced the poster art for the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, set for Aug. 21.
Rowe's artwork features the Mercedes-Benz No. 722 race car, which won the 1955 Mille Miglia.
During the AFAS exhibit at the concours, Rowe will also debut his Ferrari en Provence work on canvas, as well as a piece featuring a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost and a Mercedes. The former showcases the red Ferrari Lusso 250 GTO in front of the French restaurant Les Deux Garcons.
The exhibit will take over the 18th fairway of the Pebble Beach Golf Links from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with sculptures and various types of paintings on display.
Rowe, a native of England, studied graphic design at the College of Art in Coventry. He worked for several years as an art director in advertising and started as a freelance artist in 1966 to pursue his love for painting automobiles.
His painting career really took off when he won the Sotheby's Art Award for a portrait of five-time Formula One world champion Juan Manuel Fangio. This brought Rowe work from Louis Vuitton of Paris, Royal Mail and the Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, which features his artwork on the walls of its ships.

The CyaSSL embedded SSL library is a lightweight SSL library written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded and RTOS environments, primarily because of its small size, speed, and feature set. It is commonly used in standard operating environments and cloud services as well because of its royalty-free pricing and excellent cross platform support. CyaSSL supports industry standards up to the current TLS 1.2 and DTLS 1.2 levels, is up to 20 times smaller than OpenSSL, and offers progressive ciphers such as HC-128, RABBIT, and NTRU.
PhysicsFS is a library to provide abstract access to various archives. The programmer defines a "write directory" on the physical filesystem. No file writing done through the PhysicsFS API can leave that write directory, for security. For file reading, the programmer lists directories and archives that form a "search path". Once the search path is defined, it becomes a single, transparent, hierarchical filesystem. This makes for easy access to ZIP files in the same way as you access a file directly on the disk, and it makes it easy to ship a new archive that will override a previous archive on a per-file basis. Symbolic links can be disabled, for added safety. Finally, PhysicsFS gives you a platform- abstracted means to determine if CD-ROMs are available, the user's home directory, where in the real filesystem your program is running, etc.

Fullmetal Alchemist (Japanese: 鋼の錬金術師 Hepburn: Hagane no Renkinjutsushi?, lit. "Alchemist of Steel") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. It was serialized in Square Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan magazine between August 2001 and June 2010; the publisher later collected the individual chapters into twenty-seven tankōbon volumes. The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after the European Industrial Revolution. Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques, the story follows the Elric brothers Edward and Alphonse, who are searching for a philosopher's stone to restore their bodies after a failed attempt to bring their mother back to life using alchemy.
The manga was published in English by Viz Media in North America, Madman Entertainment in Australasia, and Chuang Yi in South Korea. It has been adapted into two anime television series, two animated films—all animated by Bones studio—and light novels. Funimation Entertainment dubbed both television series and films into English and released them for North America; these were distributed in other regions by several other companies. Viz Media localized the light novels, and Funimation and Destineer have localized the video games. Original video animations, video games, supplementary books, collectible card game and a variety of action figures and other merchandise have been based on the series' characters.
The Fullmetal Alchemist manga has sold approximately 61 million volumes as of 2013. The English release of the manga's first volume was the top-selling graphic novel during 2005. In two TV Asahi web polls, the anime was voted the most popular anime of all time in Japan. At the American Anime Awards in February 2007, it was eligible for eight awards, nominated for six, and won five. Reviewers from several media conglomerations had positive comments on the series, particularly for its character development.
Edward and Alphonse Elric are alchemist brothers searching for the legendary catalyst called the philosopher's stone, a powerful object which would allow them to recover their bodies. Alphonse and Edward were born in a village called Resembool in the country of Amestris (アメストリス Amesutorisu?), where they lived with their mother Trisha Elric. Their father, Von Hohenheim, left home for unknown reasons and years later, Trisha died of a terminal illness. After their mother's death, Edward determined to bring her back to life using alchemy, an advanced science in which objects can be created from raw materials. They research human transmutation—a forbidden art in which one attempts to create or modify a human being. This attempt fails and results in the loss of Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. A few days later, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visits the Elric brothers and proposes that Edward become a member of the State Military of Amestris in exchange for more research materials to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are replaced with automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, built for him by his friends Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako.
Edward then becomes a State Alchemist (国家錬金術師 Kokka Renkinjutsushi?), an alchemist employed by the State Military of Amestris, which has annihilated most of the Ishbalan race in the past decade. Edward's role allows him to use the extensive resources available to other State Alchemists. The brothers set off in search of the philosopher's stone as a means to restore their bodies. Throughout their journey, they meet allies and enemies—including those who are desperate to obtain the philosopher's stone. The brothers meet Scar—one of the few surviving Ishbalans who seeks vengeance on the State Alchemists for the destruction of his race, and the homunculi—a group of human-like creatures who carry pieces of the philosopher's stone inside themselves and derive from it the ability to survive almost any harm.
As the story progresses, Edward and Alphonse discover that the vast expansion of Amestris was the result of the homunculi, who created and secretly control the State Military. The homunculi and many high-ranking military officers are commanded in secret by the creator of the homunculi, a man known as "Father." Father, who gained immortality through a philosopher's stone, plans to use Amestris as a gigantic transmutation circle to transmute the entire country. When Edward and Alphonse discover Father's plans, they and other members of the State Military set out to defeat him. The Northern "Briggs" Army invades Amestris's capital Central City, and comes into conflict with the Central forces.
As the forces collide, the remaining homunculi are defeated and Central City's troops learn the truth of the situation. Father tries to transmutate Amestris to gain god-like powers but Hohenheim stops him. Father is stopped by Edward with his original arm, which Alphonse has brought back by sacrificing himself. Edward returns Alphonse to his original body, sacrificing his ability to use alchemy in the process. The Elrics return to Resembool, but two years later they separate to repay the people who helped them during their journey.
After reading about the concept of the philosopher's stone, Arakawa became attracted to the idea of her characters using alchemy in the manga. She started reading books about alchemy, which she found complicated because some books contradict others. Arakawa was attracted more by the philosophical aspects than the practical ones.[1] For the Equivalent Exchange (等価交換 Tōka Kōkan?) concept, she was inspired by the work of her parents, who had a farm in Hokkaido and worked hard to earn the money to eat.[2]
Arakawa wanted to integrate social problems into the story. Her research involved watching television news programs and talking to refugees, war veterans and former yakuza. Several plot elements, such as Pinako Rockbell caring for the Elric brothers after their mother dies, and the brothers helping people to understand the meaning of family, expand on these themes. When creating the fictional world of Fullmetal Alchemist, Arakawa was inspired after reading about the Industrial Revolution in Europe; she was amazed by differences in the culture, architecture, and clothes of the era and those of her own culture. She was especially interested in England during this period and incorporated these ideas into the manga.[1]
When the manga began serialization, Arakawa was considering several major plot points, including the ending. She wanted the Elrics brothers to recover their bodies—at least partly.[3] As the plot continued, she thought that some characters were maturing and decided to change some scenes.[2] Arakawa said the manga authors Suihō Tagawa and Hiroyuki Eto are her main inspirations for her character designs; she describes her artwork as a mix of both of them. She found that the easiest of the series' characters to draw were Alex Louis Armstrong, and the little animals. Arakawa likes dogs so she included several of them in the story.[4] Arakawa made comedy central to the manga's story because she thinks it is intended for entertainment, and tried to minimize sad scenes.[2]
When around 40 manga chapters had been published, Arakawa said that as the series was nearing its end and she would try to increase the pace of the narrative. To avoid making some chapters less entertaining than others, unnecessary details from each of them were removed and a climax was developed. The removal of minor details was also necessary because Arakawa had too few pages in Monthly Shōnen Gangan to include all the story content she wanted to add. Some characters' appearances were limited in some chapters.[5] At first, Arakawa thought the series would last twenty-one volumes but the length increased to twenty-seven.Serialization finished after nine years, and Arakawa was satisfied with her work because she had told everything she wanted with the manga.[3]
During the development of the first anime, Arakawa allowed the anime staff to work independently from her, and requested a different ending from that of the manga. She said that she would not like to repeat the same ending in both media, and wanted to make the manga longer so she could develop the characters. When watching the ending of the anime, she was amazed about how different the homunculi creatures were from the manga and enjoyed how the staff speculated about the origins of the villains.[1] Because Arakawa helped the Bones staff in the making of the series, she was kept from focusing on the manga's cover illustrations and had little time to make them.[5]
The series explores social problems. Scar's backstory and his hatred of the state military references the Ainu people, who had their land taken by other people.[1] This includes the consequences of guerrilla warfare and the amount of violent soldiers a military can have.[6] Some of the people who took the Ainu's land were originally Ainu; this irony is referenced in Scar's use of alchemy to kill alchemists even though it was forbidden in his own religion.[1] The Elrics being orphans and adopted by Pinako Rockbell reflects Arakawa's beliefs about the ways society should treat orphans. The characters' dedication to their occupations reference the need to work for food.[7] The series also explores the concept of equivalent exchange; to obtain something new, one must pay with something of the equal value. This is applied by alchemists when creating new materials and is also a belief the Elric brothers follow.[3][8]
Written and drawn by Hiromu Arakawa, Fullmetal Alchemist was serialized in Square Enix's monthly manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Gangan. Its first installment was published in the magazine's August 2001 issue on July 12, 2001; publication continued until the series concluded in June 2010 with the 108th installment.[9] A side-story to the series was published in the October 2010 issue of Monthly Shōnen Gangan on September 11, 2010.[10] In the July 2011 issue of the same magazine, the prototype version of the manga was published.[11] Square Enix compiled the chapters into twenty-seven tankōbon volumes. The first volume was released on January 22, 2002, and the last on November 22, 2010.[12][13] A few chapters have been re-released in Japan in two "Extra number" magazines and Fullmetal Alchemist, The First Attack, which features the first nine chapters of the manga and other side stories.[14] On July 22, 2011, Square Enix started republishing the series in kanzenban format.[15]
Viz Media localized the tankōbon volumes in English in North America between May 3, 2005 and December 20, 2011.[16][17] On June 7, 2011, Viz started publishing the series in omnibus format, featuring three volumes in one.[18] Other English localizations were done by Madman Entertainment for Australasia and Chuang Yi in Singapore.[19][20] The series has been also localized in Polish, French, Portuguese, Italian, and Korean.[21][22][23][24][25]
Fullmetal Alchemist was adapted into two anime series for television, titled Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. [26][27] Two full-length anime films, Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa and Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos, were also produced.[28][29]
Light novels[edit]
Square Enix has published a series of six Fullmetal Alchemist Japanese light novels, written by Makoto Inoue.[30] The novels were licensed for an English-language release by Viz Media in North America, with translations by Alexander O. Smith and illustrations— including covers and frontispieces—by Arawaka.[31][32] The novels are spin-offs of the manga series and follow the Elric brothers on their continued quest for the philosopher's stone. The first novel, Fullmetal Alchemist: The Land of Sand, was animated as the episodes eleven and twelve of the anime series.[33] The fourth novel contains an extra story about the military called "Roy's Holiday".[34] Novelizations of the PlayStation 2 games Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel, Curse of the Crimson Elixir, and The Girl Who Succeeds God have also been written, the first by Makoto Inoue and the rest by Jun Eishima.[30]
Audio dramas[edit]
There have been two series of Fullmetal Alchemist audio dramas. The first volume of the first series, Fullmetal Alchemist Vol. 1: The Land of Sand (砂礫の大地 Sareki no Daichi?), was released before the anime and tells a similar story to the first novel. The Tringham brothers reprised their anime roles.[35] Fullmetal Alchemist Vol. 2: False Light, Truth's Shadow (偽りの光 真実の影 Itsuwari no Hikari, Shinjitsu no Kage?) and Fullmetal Alchemist Vol. 3: Criminals' Scar (咎人たちの傷跡 Togabitotachi no Kizuato?) are stories based on different manga chapters; their State Military characters are different from those in the anime.[30] The second series of audio dramas, available only with purchases of Shōnen Gangan, consists two stories in this series, each with two parts. The first, Fullmetal Alchemist: Ogutāre of the Fog (霧のオグターレ Kiri no Ogutāre?), was included in Shōnen Gangan's April and May 2004 issues; the second story, Fullmetal Alchemist: Crown of Heaven (天上の宝冠 Tenjō no Hōkan?), was found in the November and December 2004 issues.[30]
Music CDs[edit]
The music for Fullmetal Alchemist was composed and arranged by Michiru Oshima.[36] TV Animation Fullmetal Alchemist Original Soundtrack 1 was released on March 24, 2004 in Japan; the CD has thirty-three tracks, including several background sounds and the first opening and ending theme songs.[37]Although never released officially, a version of the Russian track "Brothers" (Russian: Братья, Bratja; Japanese: Burācha) from this CD has been recorded in English by Vic Mignogna—who played Edward Elric in the English dubbed version. TV Animation Fullmetal Alchemist Original Soundtrack 2 was released on December 15, 2004 and contains thirty tracks.[38] TV Animation Fullmetal Alchemist Original Soundtrack 3, released on May 18, 2005 contains twenty-seven tracks.[39]
Fullmetal Alchemist: Complete Best and Fullmetal Alchemist Hagaren Song File (Best Compilation) are compilations of the soundtracks that were released in Japan on October 14, 2004 and December 21, 2005, respectively. A bonus DVD, exclusive to the U.S. release, contains a music video for Nana Kitade's "Indelible Sin".[40][41] Fullmetal Alchemist The Movie Conqueror Of Shamballa OST, which contains forty-six tracks—all of which were used in the featured film Fullmetal Alchemist the Movie: Conqueror of Shamballa—was released on July 20, 2005.[40] During December 2004, a concert titled "Tales of Another Festival" was staged in Tokyo and Osaka. It featured performances by several musical artists from the television series and narrations by the voice actors. A DVD of the concert titled Fullmetal Alchemist Festival—Tales of Another was released in Japan on April 27, 2005.[40]
The original score for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was composed by Akira Senju. The first CD soundtrack from this anime was published on October 14, 2009.[42] The second CD soundtrack from the anime was published on March 24, 2010.[43] The third CD soundtrack became available on July 7, 2010.[44] Fullmetal Alchemist Final Best, a compilation of opening and ending songs, was released on July 28, 2010.[45] On June 29, 2011, The original soundtrack of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos (FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST Nageki no Oka no Seinaru Hoshi), composed by Taro Iwashiro, was released.[46]
Video games[edit]
Video games based on Fullmetal Alchemist have been released. The storylines of the games often diverge from those of the anime and manga, and feature original characters. Square Enix has released three role-playing games (RPG)—Fullmetal Alchemist and the Broken Angel, Curse of the Crimson Elixir, and Kami o Tsugu Shōjo. Bandai has released two RPG titles, Fullmetal Alchemist: Stray Rondo (鋼の錬金術師 迷走の輪舞曲 Hagane no Renkinjutsushi Meisō no Rondo?) and Fullmetal Alchemist: Sonata of Memory (鋼の錬金術師 想い出の奏鳴曲 Hagane no Renkinjutsushi Omoide no Sonata?), for the Game Boy Advance and one, Dual Sympathy, for the Nintendo DS. In Japan, Bandai released an RPG Fullmetal Alchemist: To the Promised Day (鋼の錬金術師 Fullmetal Alchemist 約束の日へ Hagane no Renkinjutsushi Fullmetal Alchemist Yakusoku no Hi e?) for the PlayStation Portable on May 20, 2010.[47] Bandai also released a fighting game, Dream Carnival, for the PlayStation 2. Destineer released a game based on the trading card game in North America for the Nintendo DS.[48][49] Of the seven games made in Japan, Broken Angel, Curse of the Crimson Elixir, and Dual Sympathy have seen international releases. For the Wii, Akatsuki no Ōji (暁の王子?, lit. Fullmetal Alchemist: Prince of the Dawn) was released in Japan on August 13, 2009.[50] A direct sequel of the game, Tasogare no Shōjo (黄昏の少女?, lit. "Fullmetal Alchemist: Daughter of the Dusk"), was released on December 10, 2009, for the same console.[51]
Funimation licensed the franchise to create a new series of Fullmetal Alchemist related video games to be published by Destineer Publishing Corporation in the United States.[52] Destineer released its first Fullmetal Alchemist game for the Nintendo DS, a translation of Bandai's Dual Sympathy, on December 15, 2006, and said that they plan to release further titles.[53] On February 19, 2007, Destineer announced the second game in its Fullmetal Alchemist series, the Fullmetal Alchemist Trading Card Game, which was released on October 15, 2007.[54] A third game for the PlayStation Portable titled Fullmetal Alchemist: Senka wo Takuseshi Mono (背中を託せし者?) was released in Japan on October 15, 2009.[55] A European release of the game, published by with Namco Bandai, was announced on March 4, 2010.[56] The massively multiplayer online role-playing game MapleStory also received special in-game items based on the anime series.[57]
Arakawa oversaw the story and designed the characters for the RPG games, while Bones—the studio responsible for the anime series—produced several animation sequences. The developers looked at other titles—specifically Square Enix's action role-playing game Kingdom Hearts and other games based on manga series, such as Dragon Ball, Naruto or One Piece games—for inspiration. The biggest challenge was to make a "full-fledged" game rather than a simple character-based one.[58] Tomoya Asano, the assistant producer for the games, said that development took more than a year, unlike most character-based games.[59]
Art and guidebooks[edit]
The Fullmetal Alchemist franchise has several artbooks for the manga and the anime; three manga artbooks called The Art of Fullmetal Alchemist (イラスト集 FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST Irasuto Shū Fullmetal Alchemist?) were released by Square Enix; two of those were released in the U.S. by Viz Media.[60][61] The first artbook contains illustrations made between May 2001 to April 2003, spanning the first six manga volumes, while the second has illustrations from September 2003 to October 2005, spanning the next six volumes.[14] The last one includes illustrations from the remaining volumes.[62] For the anime, three artbooks titled The Art of Fullmetal Alchemist: The Anime (TVアニメーション鋼の錬金術師 ART BOOK TV Animēshon Hagane no Renkinjutsushi Artbook?) were released in Japan; only the first was released by Viz Media.[63] An artbook from the second anime titled Fullmetal Alchemist Official Drawing Collection was also released in November 2010.[64]
The manga also has three guidebooks; each of them contains timelines, guides to the Elric brothers' journey, and gaiden chapters that were never released in manga volumes.[14] Only the first guidebook was released by Viz Media, titled Fullmetal Alchemist Profiles.[65] An anime character guide book called Fullmetal Alchemist Anime Profiles (TV Animation Hagane no Renkinjutsushi Kyarakore?) was released in Japan and in the United States.[66] A series of five fanbooks titled TV Anime Fullmetal Alchemist Official Fanbooks (TVアニメ 鋼の錬金術師 オフィシャルファンブック TV Anime Hagane no Renkinjutsushi Ofisharu Fan Bukku?), each containing information about the anime and several interviews with the staff of the series.[14] Additionally, a series of four guidebooks about the second anime series was released between August 2009 and August 2010.[67][68] A guidebook titled "Fullmetal Alchemist Chronicle" (鋼の錬金術師 CHRONICLE?), which contains post-manga story information, was released in Japan on July 29, 2011.[69]
Other merchandise[edit]
Action figures, busts, and statues from the Fullmetal Alchemist anime and manga have been produced by toy companies, including Medicom and Southern Island. Medicom has created high end deluxe vinyl figures of the characters from the anime. These figures are exclusively distributed in the United States and U.K. by Southern Island.[70] Southern Island released its own action figures of the main characters in 2007, and a 12" statuette was scheduled for release the same year. Southern Island has since gone bankrupt, putting the statuette's release in doubt.[71] A trading card game was first published in 2005 in the United States by Joyride Entertainment.[72] Since then, six expansions have been released. The card game was withdrawn on July 11, 2007.[73] Destineer released a Nintendo DS adaptation of the game on October 15, 2007.[54]
Manga reception[edit]
The series has become one of Square Enix's best-performing properties, along with Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.[74] With the release of volume 27, the manga sold over 50 million copies in Japan.[75] As of January 10, 2010, every volume of the manga has sold over a million copies each in Japan.[76] Square Enix said that the series sold sixty-one million units worldwide as of June 25, 2013, thirteen million of those outside Japan.[77] The series is also one of Viz Media's best sellers, appearing in "BookScan's Top 20 Graphic Novels" and the "USA Today Booklist".[78][79][80]
During 2008, volumes 19 and 20 sold over a million copies, ranking as the 10th and 11th best seller comics in Japan respectively.[81] In the first half of 2009, it ranked as the seventh best-seller in Japan, having sold over 3 million copies.[82] Volume 21 ranked fourth, with more than a million copies sold and volume 22 ranked sixth with a similar number of sold copies.[83] Producer Kouji Taguchi of Square Enix said that Volume 1's initial sales were 150,000 copies; this grew to 1.5 million copies after the first anime aired. Prior to the second anime's premiere, each volume sold about 1.9 million copies, and then it changed to 2.1 million copies.[84]
Along with Yakitate!! Japan, the series won the forty-ninth Shogakukan Manga Award for shōnen in 2004.[85] The manga also received the Seiun Award for best science fiction comic in 2011.[86] It was featured in the Diamond Comic Distributors' polls of graphic novels and The New York Times Best Seller Manga list.[87][88] The English release of the manga's first volume was the top-selling graphic novel during 2005.[89] In a survey from Oricon in 2009, Fullmetal Alchemist ranked ninth as the manga that fans wanted to be turned into a live-action film.[90]
The series is also popular within amateur writers who produce dōjinshi (fan fiction) that borrow characters from the series. In the Japanese market Super Comic City, there have been over 1,100 dōjinshi based on Fullmetal Alchemist, some of which focused on romantic interactions between Edward Elric and Roy Mustang.[91] Anime News Network said the series had the same impact in Comiket 2004 as several female fans were seen there writing dōjinshi.[92]
Critical reception[edit]
Fullmetal Alchemist has generally been well received by critics. Though the first volumes were thought to be formulaic, critics said that the series grows in complexity as it progresses. Arakawa was praised for keeping all of her character designs unique and distinguishable, despite many of them wearing the same basic uniforms.[93] The characterization of the protagonist Edward balances between being a "typical clever kid" and a "stubborn kid", allowing him to float between the comical moments and the underlying drama without seeming false.[94] Reviewers praised the development of the characters in the manga, their beliefs changing during the story, forcing them to mature.[95] Mania Entertainment's Jarred Pine said that the manga can be enjoyed by anybody who has watched the first anime, despite the similarities in the first chapters. Like other reviewers, Pine praised the dark mood of the manga and the way it balances the humor and action scenes.[96] Pine also praised the development of characters who have few appearances in the first anime.[97] In a review of volume 14, Sakura Eries—also of Mania Entertainment—liked the revelations, despite the need to resolve several story arcs. She also praised the development of the homunculi, such as the return of Greed, as well as their fights.[98]
Light novels reception[edit]
The first Fullmetal Alchemist novel, The Land of the Sand, was well received by Jarred Pine of Mania as a self-contained novelization that remained true to the characterizations of the manga series. He said that while the lack of backstory aims it more towards fans of the franchise than new readers, it was an impressive debut piece for the Viz Fiction line.[99] Ain't It Cool News also found the novel to be true to its roots, and said that while it added nothing new, it was compelling enough for followers of the series to enjoy a retelling. The reviewer said it was a "work for young-ish readers that's pretty clear about some darker sides of politics, economics and human nature".[100] Charles Solomon of the Los Angeles Times said that the novel has a different focus than the anime series; The Land of Sand "created a stronger, sympathetic bond" between the younger brothers than is seen in its two-episode anime counterpart.[101]
