Thanks for the feedback related to Fields of Glory (Shatter)!
Based on the feedback we've been receiving, we plan to make the following adjustments in Patch 3.35.
- The amount of data required to win a 72-player match will be reduced from 1800 to 1600
For a 72-player match, the length of the match ended up being fairly long, even after destroying all the icebound tomeliths. Therefore we will be reducing the amount of data required to win a match.
- Icebound Tomeliths
When comparing caster DPS and melee DPS, casters were able to damage icebound tomeliths from a relatively safe distance. To balance the DPS between melee DPS classes, the icebound tomeliths will have their magic resistance increased by 50%.
In addition to this, we have received numerous comments stating the win/loss rate between the three nations aren't balanced well, in part due to situations where there are strong pre-made parties in specific Grand Companies. The dev. team is aware of this, and currently looking into how they can make adjustments.
We will continue to make adjustments based on everyone's feedback, so please continue to submit your comments and requests!
As you all may know, we recently held a contest where our musically inclined Warriors of Light were challenged to perform their own take on the evening theme for Foundation, "Night in the Brume."
If you're interested in hearing all of the entries, we created a playlist on our official FFXIV YouTube channel that features every entry!
Heavensward Music Contest Playlist
Please feel free to listen to all of the amazing entries we received from players around the world!
I understand you have a few questions regarding the Gear Design Contest (Tank Edition). While we have no plans to create an official discussion thread at this time, you are more than welcome to ask any questions you may have here!
Here are a couple questions we've received that have been addressed so far:
Q: Would you like us to present both the front and back of the armor, similar to the designs shown in this previous dev blog?
A: Yes, we would appreciate if you can submit entries which we can confirm the front/back like this one!
Q: While I'm sure the gear will be unisex, can we add notes for any variations in the design for males and females?
A: You certainly may add notes! If you would like to have some small changes to the design depending on gender/race, you're more than welcome to add those notes in the entry.
The dev. team is looking at your ideas, so don't limit yourself with worry over the illustration quality. If you have an awesome idea, be sure to submit it!
Please worry not, as we have not forgotten about the promised new Grand Company gear sets. While these sets were planned for implementation in Patch 3.3, we ask for your patience as we had to push this back for the time being.
We'll be sure to let you all know when this new gear will be implemented, so please look forward to it!
Many thanks for the haikus,

We're pleased to present the full digest of the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXX! If you missed the live stream, or if you just want to watch it again (and again), check it out below!
*Don't forget to select the 720p option to watch the video in HD!
Patch 3.3 Special Part II
As was mentioned previously, the title of patch 3.3 is "Revenge of the Horde." The Japanese subtitle is "The Final Chorus," so prepare yourself for the challenge ahead.
Let's start the show off with an overview of what was discussed during the previous Letter from the Producer LIVE.
The Final Steps of Faith
It's time to lift the curtain on the next trial and reveal who players will be facing off against in patch 3.3. "The Final Steps of Faith" will be the backdrop where adventurers do battle against Nidhogg one last time in a headlong rush toward the climax of the Dragonsong War. While you may have gone toe-to-toe with Nidhogg in the Aery, aided by the Eye held by Estinien to keep the great wyrm's power in check, this time you must face his full fury together with a full party. Be sure to keep a close eye on how the main scenario unfolds in your fight against the great wyrm.
Patch 3.3 will also introduce The Final Steps of Faith (Extreme)! Successfully overcoming this trial will reward players with a weapon. With a respectable item level and appealing design, you'll definitely want to try and get your hands on one.
*The video shows gameplay of the Final Steps of Faith.
The Aquapolis
*The video shows gameplay of the Aquaoplis, as well as new glamour equipment.
Finding your way to the Aquapolis starts with a treasure hunt. Players will use the Dig action to locate a treasure chest and must defeat any enemies that appear. Upon opening the chest, there's a chance a portal to the Aquapolis will be revealed. It will remain open for 10 minutes, so be sure to hop in before it disappears!
While many players are currently using dragonskin maps with just two people, we recommend you take the dive into Aquapolis with either a light or full party. One easy way to gather allies would be to use shout in the area. After finalizing lots on the rewards that drop from the chest, the map holder can select the entrance and take everyone in with them.
The area is synced to item level 180, so even newcomers who have just hit level 60 can enjoy this new feature.
The corridors of Aquapolis, will lead you to an open area with two doors and a treasure chest. Like all other treasure hunts, clicking on the chest will spawn monsters, and defeating them will reward players. Once these rewards have been obtained, the map holder will have to choose which door to open. Selecting the correct door will allow players to progress to the next chamber. There are a total of seven chambers, and as you go further, the rewards you obtain will increase in rarity.
Additionally, there's a chance a cyclops will spawn, which will reward players with grade IV and V materia upon victory. The cyclops in the seventh room will drop grade V materia. Furthermore, a golden goblin will also occasionally spawn. He is not aggressive and will flee from players, but if you manage to defeat him within 30 seconds, he will drop a considerable amount of gil. Like the cyclops, the further into the instanced dungeon you go, the more gil the golden goblin will drop.
The chest located in the seventh chamber will reward each player with 100,000 gil.
Aside from this, there are treasure chests that contain rare minions such as the baby opo-opo, which are normally obtained through dungeons.
While you'll be forced to contend with some sticky AoE attacks, we expect you will be able to make steady and easy progress, though, that's not to say you can let your guard down─especially if you're facing down a cyclopes. Defeating them may reward you with rare treasures, but dodging the wild swings of their clubs is sure to present quite a challenge!
Previously, we mentioned the spawn rate for the portal leading to the Aquapolis was set to 25%; however, we have increased it to 50%. The number of enemies will not increase with the number of players participating, so the larger the party, the easier it will be to clear. Going with about four players is ideal, but since there are lots of monsters, it is recommended you take at least one tank and one healer.
Fenrir Mount
*The video shows gameplay of the Fenrir mount flying through the skies.
Some players asked if we're planning to implement a mount which will require more MGP than the Fenrir mount, but rest assured, we have no plans to do this for a while. Starting with Patch 3.3, the Fenrir mount will be able to soar through the skies by freezing water particles in the air.
Raid Finder
The Raid Finder is a party matching system for high-difficulty raids for players on the same data center.
Players can set their initial matching requirements to either "Duty Complete" or "Duty Incomplete." The first option will only be available to those who have already cleared the content once before. The system will check your character information, so those who have not completed the area will not be able to select this option.
Players can also select their Purpose, which can be either "Duty Completion" or "Practice." The "Duty Completion" option can only be selected by those who have not yet received their weekly reward. The "Practice" option will allow players to join the raid to practice strategies. Only by hitting "Practice" will you be able to select a Phase.
Entering an area which you've already completed for the week will yield fewer treasure coffers for your fellow players and to prevent this, we've made it so those who have cleared the turn will not be able to enter the area. We are, however, aware that there are players who would like to enter to obtain tokens, or play through the content again, so please be sure to leave your feedback regarding this change on the forums.
Phases can only be selected when your Purpose has been set to "Practice." While players can select from the First Phase, Middle Phase, and the Final Phase options, they will not be able to skip phases. Also, please keep in mind that we've tried to separate phases based on what players would perceive to be the first, middle, and final "phases" of a battle.
Players who have already cleared the turn can also set their Purpose to "Practice" and be matched to other players. This has been done to speed up the matching process, and in the hope that having an experienced player in the group will help the party progress further. Please understand, however, that this may cause the number of treasure coffers to be reduced. I believe players can decide which parts of a given battle would fall under which phase, so we have not set anything specific
Until now, when players wanted to take part in Alexander: Midas (Savage), they had to speak to a specific NPC to enter the duty. From Patch 3.3 onward, players will be utilizing the Raid Finder system, so you will no longer be able to enter the instance from the Dravanian Hinterlands.
We were concerned that having two of the same jobs in the party will cause the Limit Break gauge to accumulate slower. To prevent this, when the "Purpose" is set to "Duty Completion," players will not be matched with another player of the same job. When "Practice" is selected, however, there is a chance the same DPS class/job may be matched in the last DPS spot. This has been done to minimize matching time and encourage more experienced players to participate in practice runs. The system is also set so that it will pick different tanks and healers out of the three available. Please give it a try and see how it feels. If you think that matching speed should be prioritized, be sure to leave feedback, and we'll look into it if there's enough demand.
Field of Glory (Shatter)
*Video shows off the Field of Glory (Shatter).
Unlike Frontline seize campaigns, there are only three key locations for players to occupy and maintain control of. One strategy to consider is whether or not to concentrate troops in certain areas you have claimed. You'll also be able to lay claim to your opponent's stronghold by staying within proximity of areas under their control. However, this is just a part of the overall strategy.
The main focus involves the destruction of icebound tomeliths, which are scattered throughout the field. These objects will become vulnerable after a certain amount of time has passed, notifying all players with a message. After the tomelith is destroyed, points will be awarded to each team based on the amount of damage they inflicted. These tomeliths will flash on the map, and once destroyed, they will not appear again. Therefore, as you get closer to the end of the match, you'll more likely to confront another team.
Also, in Patch 3.3 we will be reverting the Adrenaline Rush gauge back to how it was for Frontline, and the gauge will no longer accumulate while out of combat.
Housing: Flowerpots and Vases
*Video showed gameplay of flowerpots and vases.
While you cannot intercross plants, the base system is similar to gardening. By planting flower seeds introduced in Patch 3.3, players will see hints notifying what color flower is about to bloom. Pomace can be used to adjust the final color of the flower. Flowers grown can be used as crafting materials to craft headdresses out of the flower. We'll be introducing more flowers in future. There's a possibility the flowers may wither and die if you do not tend to them, so be sure to check them at least once a day.
Gatherer / Crafter
As mentioned previously, gatherers and crafters will be able to acquire new gear in Patch 3.3 to increase their item level. In Patch 3.4 new equipment is planned to be introduced at the same timing for the next Alexander raid. I recommend upgrading your gathering and crafting gear with the new equipment coming in this upcoming patch if you would like to craft these items before everyone else!
There are two types of equipment, one which can be crafted and shared across all classes, and another which can be exchanged with red scrips and are class-specific. The item level for the red scrips version is set higher; however, players may utilize advanced materia melding on the crafted pieces, which can prove advantageous in the long run. In Patch 3.3, we'll introduce every piece of equipment for the crafted version, but for red scrips version, the secondary tool, belt, and accessories will be added later in Patch 3.4.
We've also made adjustments to how frequently gathering and crafting materia can be obtained. Players will be able to collect grade IV materia at a much quicker rate. Players will also be able to collect grade IV materia by completing the beast tribe story quests introduced in Patch 3.3, and we have also prepared other avenues to collect them.
Since some classes had an easier time than others collecting blue scrips, we've made adjustments so that all classes should find it just as easy to collect them. We've also made adjustments so that it's easier to earn red scrips as well. Other general adjustments include, but are not limited to, increasing the number of gathering spots for the items used for collectables, increasing scrips earned when turning in items on a level 60 class, and boosting experience points when turning in items on a class which is level 59 or lower.
Glamour Equipment
*Video showed images of various glamour equipment.
Recommended Gear Button
This feature will allow you to automatically equip the gear from your Armoury Chest with the highest item level. Mentors, be sure to tell new players to utilize this feature often, since they receive gear through completing quests!
Save HUD Layout
*Video introduction of utilizing the HUD layout save feature
Players will be able to save up to 4 HUD layouts, and they can be switched with the press of a button. Since this can also be done via text command, you can customize macros that simultaneously change your job, gear set, and UI. You will also be able to copy and paste with the "Save HUD Layout" button, in order to make fine-tuned adjustments.
Addition of "Draw Quality Setting" for PlayStation®4
While the PC version has had this feature from Patch 3.0 with DirectX 11, from Patch 3.3 the PlayStation®4 will also be receiving features from DirectX 11. The quality up until now would be "Normal Quality", so players seeking improved graphics should try out the "High Quality" setting. However, this may cause the framerate to drop by around 1 frame depending on when it is used. The default setting will be "Normal Quality," so please try out "High Quality" starting in Patch 3.3. We highly recommend visiting Fortemps Manor in the main story, where you can easily see the difference in the polished floors.
Addition of Partial Match search feature to Market Boards
*Video shows off the partial match search feature on the market board.
When searching for items on the market board with the "Partial Match" search box checked, items whose names contain the characters you enter will be displayed. However, in order to prevent server congestion, searches will search from locally cached data, and will not support functions such as the Wish List, nor will it display the number of items on sale. Although this limits the functionality somewhat, the search itself is very speedy.
Addition of new Mentor Icons
Mentors will now be able to change their online status to one of the following, according to specialty:
Mentor / Battle Mentor / Crafting & Gathering Mentor / PvP Mentor
PvP Preset Actions Feature
*Video introduction of using the PvP preset actions feature
We've realized that, in addition to changing gear sets, players up until now would have to reset their PvP points whenever they changed jobs, which takes up considerable time. To address this, we are adding the PvP preset actions feature. Similar to registering gear sets, players will be able to register up to five sets. However, the difference from gear sets is that this feature preforms a special save data check on the server to prevent cheating. Because of this, it will take a few seconds to change between presets.
Party List Customization
After hearing the numerous requests from healers, we are finally implementing the ability to rearrange the party list.
Idling Camera
In response to players wanting to use idling camera angles to view their characters in the heat of combat, the idling camera will be usable during battles as well. However, please make sure to ask your party members before using the camera when running trials or dungeons.
Group Pose
In addition to player requests for the idling camera, the development team also wants players to take more of those wonderful screenshots with their friends, so we have improved upon the group pose feature as well.
We received several requests to auto-translate phrases like "Break tethers," "Stack," and "Come closer," so we have added commands similar to these and other raid-related phrases to the auto-translate dictionary.
Anima Weapon
Players will be able to raise their weapon's attributes for this installment of the anima weapon questline. Each attribute has a limit of 120 points, and catalysts made from crystal sand and umbrite will be necessary to convert the attribute points. One conversion will yield 3 points, however, some might get lucky and receive 4 or 5 points in a single sitting. There are many ways to obtain the items needed, so you can gather them using the playstyle that best suits you.
Each method will differ in terms of time efficiency, and while we can't give too many details, we can say that everything has been balanced in terms of gil and time required. Unlike the first step in creating the anima weapons, there will be a variety of ways you can obtain the items. The weapons will also have an entirely new look. The end result will be the same strength as a weapon infused with three grade V materia, so I believe they will become much more relevant.
After investigating everyone's gameplay logs in relation to the anima weapons, we found that there are fewer players with crystals than "unidentifiable" items, so we will be easing the drop rate for crystals in Patch 3.3. However, the drop rate for the "unidentifiable" items will remain the same.
Special Talk Session "Ask the Devs!"
Guest: Main Scenario Writer Natsuko Ishikawa
Prominent Questlines
2.0 Main Scenario (Coerthas Central Highlands) / 3.2 Main Scenario / The Binding Coil of Bahamut Series / The Crystal Tower Series / Rogue Quests / Dark Knight Quests / Alchemist Class Quests (up to level 50) / Matoya's Cave Sidequests
Yoshida: The plot is decided beforehand, and then I have a discussion with the main scenario writers. After that, Oda and Ishikawa are the ones who write the story.
Ishikawa: Oda wrote the main scenario this time, for Patch 3.3.
Patch 3.3 Main Quests
Ishikawa: As you can infer from the patch subtitle, "The Final Chorus" (EN: Revenge of the Horde) will mark the conclusion of the Dragonsong War. I hope players will look forward to watching what becomes of Estinien, and whether Aymeric's efforts to reconcile will bear fruit.
Yoshida: Setting aside your developer role and speaking from a player's perspective, would you want Estinien to be saved? Or would you rather see his spectacular collapse as the Azure Dragoon?
Ishikawa: I want Estinien to be saved, but I also want to see Ishgard saved from the wrath of Nidhogg.
The Warring Triad
Yoshida: Since we are introducing the "The Final Steps of Faith" instead of a new trial for 3.3, players won't see another "awakening" in the Warring Triad just yet. Even so, the Triad's story will continue in this patch.
Ishikawa: Players who have progressed through the story so far know that a clash with Regula van Hydus will be inevitable in quelling the dangers that the Warring Triad pose. So the quests will focus on the Garlean legatus' next move. It won't be a trial, but there will be a confrontation of sorts, so please look forward to it.
Yoshida: More characters will become intertwined in the Warring Triad quests, so the story and setting will expand as well. This confrontation won't require a party, so we want you to enjoy it at your own pace.
New Beast Tribe Quests
*Video showed gameplay of the moogle camp from moogle beast tribe quest
Yoshida: Similar to the Ixal quests, these new quests will be focused on crafting. The Ixal daily quests capped at level 50, so these new daily quests will be aimed at players leveling crafting from 50 to 60. For those who have already reached level 60, well, the moogles would still greatly appreciate your help.
The moogles have a pact with Hraesvelgr to repair Zenith, but as everyone knows, they love playing tricks and try to avoid their work. The player will help a group of Ishgardians sent to teach the moogles the ways of crafting with a practice project, so that they will be able to eventually repair Zenith.
Ishikawa: The engineers whom you encounter during the beast tribe quests have lines that might echo the sentiments of some players.
Yoshida: The required materials are already a part of the quests, so players will only need to craft the materials they are given to complete them.
Q: How much freedom do you have when writing the scenario? Do you ever need to meet requests from other teams, such as "please include this tribe," or "make sure players visit this area"?
Yoshida: Writing a story for a video game is different than writing a novel. The lore team lead Oda also has been saying, "If you want to write whatever you want, then go and write a novel. For video games, trying to engage the audience is meaningless if the story and the gameplay experience do not complement each other. The link between gameplay and story needs to be kept, or else there would be nothing but a wall of text and pressing a button over and over to progress." I think a perfect example of this cohesion is the dark knight job quest line, which was led by Ishikawa.
Ishikawa: When the dark knight job quest line plot was still being planned, the battle team said they wanted to try to develop a battle that would have the character fight against themselves, so I created a scenario which would eventually lead to that sort of climactic battle scene.
Yoshida: We run checks at a very early stage for the portions of the scenario that have voice acting. The final checks are performed once all of the pieces of the main scenario are connected together, so around that time, I sometimes make requests to make those scenes look better.
Q: The dark knight job quest was really cool. Could you tell us your thoughts about this quest and any stories from writing it?
Q: I love Nero and would like to meet him again. Could you write Nero into the main scenario somehow? I'd also like to see quests focusing on Alisaie and Yugiri.
Q: The Matoya quests reminded me of the early FF games and felt very nostalgic. Could you share with us some fond memories or hardships of the scenarios you were in charge of?
Yoshida: I made very thorough checks of the Bahamut storyline as well, and even went so far as directly pointing out things that couldn't be mentioned at certain times and when to write in certain keywords.
Q: I really like the unique personalities of the rogues' guild members. I'd like to hear more about how they formed and some other stories about them. Will we ever get to work with them again?
Q: I really liked both the dark knight and alchemist stories. Is there any story in particular you'd like to write next?
Q: Do you have any plans of adding a love story? For example, a story about how Gaius and Livia met?
Yoshida: As I get older, I find I'm not as interested in romance stories as I used to be. While I think there are places in the story where a love story could be written in, fate has greater things in store for our characters in the main scenario, and unfortunately I don't think romance quite fits into the picture. I think this would be best suited for a side story.
Q: During the Patch 3.2 main scenario, Aymeric and Lucia are talking to each other, and she addressed Aymeric in a different way than usual, which surprised me. Could you tell me about their relationship?
Yoshida: Aymeric seems like he's pretty insensible. I think he doesn't know. But I have a feeling some parts of patch 3.3 might answer that request for romance from the previous question, so please look forward to it.
Ishikawa: Also, you'll be able to read up on Lucia and Livia inside the Lore book the Lore team is working on, so please be sure to check that out! For these two characters, they're the type that would do everything in the power to help those that took them in.
Localization Note:
- Corvinoobus
Q: As is standard for Letter from the Producer LIVEs, can you tell us about any crazy requests that Yoshi-P has made?
Q: A certain Sound Director mentioned that the melody for a song once came to mind while he was shaving, but do you have similar experience where an idea for main scenario suddenly pops into your head?
Q: The cutscene from the Final Coil of Bahamut Turn 4 was very impressive, but did you play a role in the in-game cutscene direction?
Yoshida: This happens sometimes in the FFXIV team, where things are created even without any orders being made. We haven't cut the work tasks in any way, so we work hard together as a team. In general all cutscenes are drafted by the cutscene team and proceed from there. However, this phase is still prior to actual in-game development, they combine all the cutscenes together and if they feel that something is missing, that's when they add cutscenes to improve the overall experience.
Q: I really love Haurchefant! I recall many moments in Patch 3.2 that reminded me of him. Was this your intention?
Q: I feel like the writing style for MMORPGs and single-player RPGs differs, but could you tell us some hardships you've experienced or techniques you've used for writing the main scenario?
Yoshida: I think this goes without saying, but another difference between a single-player RPG and MMORPG is that other players are also interacting with you. During the main scenario quests, we want you to go on a journey with an NPC, but this doesn't exactly sync up with other players' progress. It's difficult to have really long cutscenes when you are playing with a party of other people, so I believe keeping such things in mind when writing for an online game can prove quite difficult.
Thank you all for your feedback regarding the completion message of Grand Company Supply and Provisioning missions. We're planning to implement some changes in Patch 3.3 so that the message is no longer repeated in excess when players complete multiple deliveries.
Thanks for your feedback regarding the /huzzah emote. We're pleased to announce that this emote is now available in the Mog Station (http://sqex.to/9iY) for purchase.
Please continue to share any requests for anything else you'd like to see made available in the future, and we'll be sure to pass them along to the dev team!

Please look forward to seeing the new and improved Wildfire in Patch 3.3!
Thanks for the feedback!
As you may recall, during the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVIII, Yoshida mentioned that they'll look into adding a text command which can be used to remove the graphical display of your gauss barrel. I'm pleased to let you know that this text command is currently planned to be implemented in Patch 3.3!
Please note that this feature will only hide the display of your character's gauss barrel and on your client only!
Simply put, that line should (and will, as of 3.3) contain a more explicit reference to wind, and you may take from that what you will.
A: The entire event team is focused on keeping things brief when they can be. We understand that players want to hurry up and get to the content, so we are trying to tell the story without pushing the volume too much.
Yoshida: During the main scenario quests, we want you to go on a journey with an NPC, and this is not synced up with other players' progress. It's difficult to have super long cutscenes when you are playing with others in a party, so it's tough to keep this in mind that this is an online game's story.
A: It's not because I'm writing it that I wanted to write more about him, but I wanted to write this from a player's point of view, where they ventured through Ishgard. I pushed Meaehiro to change the scene with Haurchefant inside the intercessory in Patch 2.55. I would like for everyone to feel the struggles that our adventurers will continue to go through in these stories.
A: The cutscene team dealt with this, and there are times I make requests; however, some portions are decided based on their suggestions as well as with read-throughs with the team.
The cutscene for Crystal Tower with the Eternal Wind was a surprise from the cutscene team. Even though they were busy for the release of 3.0, they made this without any kind of implementation order. I was quite surprised.
A: An idea pops into my head while listening to the song which that Sound Director wrote from that idea. I mentioned this during the test stream, but I bartered to use a song that wasn't used in Patch 3.3 for a can of coffee. Listening to that kind of song inspires a story. The song wasn't used this time; however, I believe it can be used later if we can make something for it, so please look forward to it.

Seriously, something is really not right with this fish. 595 Gathering, 459 Perception. Barely catches an HQ Fullmoon Sardine. When he does, and I get a big pull, its never this damn fish. Multiple attempts and still nothing. Tried each weather pattern, nothing. I don't know how they get away with such BS in this game. Fullmoon Sardine is level 34 yet my guy at level 60 can barely catch one without patience and when patience is on, he still just catches NQ. Game is broken, man.
UPDATE: DA DA DA DAAAAA DA DA DAAA DA DA! Finally! This bloody fish comes out of hiding! with only 20 minutes before time window was up. Sorry guys, but this one is the biggest pain in the arse going. Get ready to smash some stuff around the room. I know I sure did.

How To: Create a Succulent Arrangement
A cake stand and some florist's moss provide a simple foundation for this stunning succulent display that works great as a centerpiece.
A cake stand and some floristâs moss provide a simple foundation for this stunning display that works great as a centerpiece. First, youâll want to gather a variety of succulents and roses. We especially love the âBlack Beautyâ roses, but really any kind works great. Next, line the surface of a footed cake stand with moistened floristâs moss. Soak a 3- or 4-inch cube of floristâs foam in water, then place it in the center of the cake stand on top of the moss. The saturated foam anchors the arrangement while keeping the flowers hydrated. Now itâs time to add the blossoms. Trim your rose stems to 2 inches and insert into the top of the foam cube, creating a tight cluster that overlaps the edges. Tuck your succulent rosettes around the foam. Continue to tuck in succulents until the sides of the foam cube are concealed. Cut the succulent heads as though they were flowers, making sure to anchor the stems in the foam, if necessary, so the rosettes face outward. In just a few minutes time, youâll have this eye-catching display to show off at your next outdoor gathering.

A tragic accident at Fort Bragg has left one 82nd Airborne paratrooper dead, two seriously injured, and five others treated, according to CBS 8 on Feb. 21, 2014. The accident was an explosion that happened during a training exercise at Fort Bragg.
The North Carolina Army post issued a stated that said the explosion happened during artillery live-fire training that involved the 18th Fires Brigade. According to officials, there was "an incident" with an M777 light, towed howitzer, but nothing else has been detailed.
The names of the 82nd Airborne paratroopers have not been released and won't be until next of kin has been notified.
In the statement, it was revealed that one of the two seriously injured soldiers was taken to Womack Army Medical Center. The other soldier was taken to Duke University Medical Center.
Lifesaving care was provided to the wounded and officials give a lot of credit to two onsite medics for such quick attention.
The Army does have an ongoing investigation into what went wrong and caused the death of the 82nd Airborne paratrooper.

Mark Twain's Lessons for the Ages
Opinion: If we are true to history, it is clear that only one people has a genuine claim to the land of Israel.
By Dr. Joseph Frager

When Mark Twain visited Israel after the Civil War in 1867 he was witness to a very different country that now exists.
It is a credit to the Jewish People that the rebirth of the State of Israel 66 years ago came to fruition. What is of special interest to me personally is the fact that Mark Twain stayed in a Hotel in Jerusalem that now belongs to Ateret Cohanim. It is now the Wittenberg House which was purchased by the Wittenberg Trust not too long after Mark Twain stayed there - made famous in more recent times when Ariel Sharon moved into one of its apartments in the late 1980s.
It was not known at the time that it had been the very place Mark Twain had stayed. Mark Twain had a great deal of respect for the Jewish People writing in his own unique style in Harper's Magazine regarding "the Jew" stating, "He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages, and had done it with his hands tied behind him. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass but he remains". This is one of the many lessons Mark Twain has taught us.
In his writings about his travels throughout Israel entitled, "Innocents abroad" - published in 1869 - he described the desolation of the Holy Land as follows: "No landscape exists that is more tiresome to the eye than that which bounds the approaches to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is mournful, dreary, and lifeless. Palestine sits in sackloth and ashes".
In Twain's own inimical words about the Arabs in Israel he describes "its minuscule Arab presence, making use of virtually none of the available land for the people's own meager needs, could hardly be considered a serious counter to the claim of millions of Jews the world over to a State of their own."
Any claim by the Arabs that they were living throughout the land of Israel for any length of time before the Jews came back is totally and unequivocally debunked by Mark Twain's writings. In 1867 there were only a handful of Arabs in the Land of Israel. That is the sum total of it.
All of the Arab claims that they were descendants of Arabs living in Israel is just not true. Yasir Arafat's family came from Egypt, not the Land of Israel. The Arabs only moved in after the Jews had already settled many areas of Israel in the 1800's. Mark Twain's 150th Anniversary of his visit to Israel is soon approaching. We should do everything in our power to honor this great man who set the record straight for the Ages.

Last Time Out: Salim Stoudamire's 14-foot jumper with six-tenths of a second remaining Saturday gave Arizona the 70-68 win over Arizona State and clinched the Pac-10 Championship. It proved to be a very entertaining game, featuring multiple scoring runs by both teams and three ties and six lead changes in the last four minutes. Four Wildcats finished in double figures, led by Stoudamire's 22, and UA limited ASU to just 35.5 percent shooting in the second half.
Scouting California: The Golden Bears enter Thursday's game with a 13-15 record (6-12 Pac-10) after a 63-57 overtime win Saturday vs. Washington State. Cal shoots 45.1 percent from the field (712-of-1577), posts a +0.5 rebound margin and is outscored by 2.6 points per game. Individually, two Golden Bears average in double figures, led by Rod Benson, who leads Cal with a 13.7 points per game average. Benson also leads the team by averaging 6.4 rebounds per game.
The Series: Thursday's game marks the 70th meeting of the two schools with Arizona holding a 45-24 series advantage. UA has won 12 of the last 13 meetings in the series, which dates back to 1924, including the last get-together, 97-76, in Tucson on Feb. 3. All-time, Arizona is 23-8 in series games played in Tucson, 20-15 in Berkeley, and 2-1 in neutral-site games. For more series information, please see page 103 of the UA basketball media guide.
Last Meeting: Arizona 97, California 76, Feb. 3, 2005: Arizona's balanced attack proved to be too much in a convincing victory over California. Channing Frye led all players with 20 points and seven rebounds, while Salim Stoudamire contributed 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting and Hassan Adams was a perfect 7-for-7 from the field for 15 points. Mustafa Shakur dished out eight assists and had 10 points in a game where UA opened with a 22-4 run and never looked back. Arizona's 21-point win was its largest over a conference opponent this season.
Top Seeds: Arizona heads into the Pacific Life Pac-10 Tournament as the No. 1 seed for second time in the last three seasons. Incidentally, in the seven previous Pac-10 Tournaments, Arizona has entered the event as the top seed three times (1988, 1989, 2003). All time, Arizona has a 13-3 (.813) record at the Pac-10 Tournament and has won the event four times (1988, 1989, 1990, 2002). Both figures are Pac-10 bests.
All-Conference: Three Arizona players earned all-conference honors in voting released Monday by the league's head coaches. Channing Frye and Salim Stoudamire were all-conference honorees, while Hassan Adams was an honorable mention selection. For Frye, it was his second all-Pac-10 honor, while it was the first for Stoudamire. Adams was an honorable mention pick last season as well.
Senior Leadership: Salim Stoudamire led Arizona to a win over intrastate rival Arizona State in its regular-season finale by scoring a team-high 22 points to go with three rebounds, a career-high three steals and an assist in a season-best 38 minutes played. Stoudamire hit 6-of-13 field goal attempts in the game, including the game-winner with six-tenths of a second remaining that clinched the Pac-10 championship for the Wildcats. He scored 18 of his 22 points in the first half. Stoudamire was named Pac-10 Player of the Week for his efforts, marking the third time this season that Stoudamire has been so honored. He is just the 11th player in league history to claim five or more P.O.W. honors in a career.
Champions Again: Saturday's win clinched the 11th Pac-10 championship for Arizona and the 24th conference championship in school history. Of Arizona's 11 Pac-10 titles, nine have been of the outright variety. It is also UA's third league championship since 2000 (2000, 2003).
Top of the Charts: The ASU win also gave Lute Olson his 305th career Pac-10 victory, moving him past UCLA's John Wooden for most career conference wins by a head coach. In 22 seasons, Olson has a career Pac-10 record of 305-87 (.778), while Wooden amassed a 304-74 (.810) mark in 27 seasons at the helm in Westwood.
Close Calls: Arizona's two-point win Saturday was the team's seventh of the season by five points or less. In 2004-05, Arizona is 7-1 in games decided by five points or less, including six consecutive. That 7-1 record is a decided improvement over last year for the Cats, as the 2003-04 team was just 4-6 in tight games.
Safe at Home: It's obvious that Hassan Adams enjoys playing close to home, as the junior from Los Angeles. In 12 career games in the Los Angeles area, Adams is averaging 14.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game. He's connected on 50.7 percent (68-of-134) of his field goal attempts and 86.8 percent (33-of-38) of his free throws. Adams' career highs of 30 points and 14 rebounds were last equaled during the 2004 Pac-10 Tournament in Staples Center.
Moving Up: With 11:29 to go in the first half on Saturday, Salim Stoudamire knocked down his third three-point field goal of the game. The trey was the 318th of Stoudamire's career, which tied the Arizona record for career three-point field goals made. He enters the Pac-10 Tournament tied with Jason Gardner (1999-2003) with 318 treys made. Stoudamire is also within shooting distance of breaking the Pac-10 record for three-pointers made. Arizona State's Stevin Smith (1991-94) holds the current record of 323.
Controlling the Boards: Arizona is 19-2 this season when outrebounding the opposition, and six times the squad has posted at least a +10 rebound margin. UA has outrebounded 21 of 30 opponents in 2004-05. Last season, Arizona was 16-4 when outrebounding the opposition.
A Bit of Foreshadowing: How's this for good timing? Just about 35 minutes before Stoudamire's title-winning heroics Saturday, the 6-foot-1 senior guard was named to the John R. Wooden Award final ballot. The distinction means that Stoudamire is one of 23 student-athletes in contention for the Wooden Award, given annually to college basketball's player of the year.
A need to be defensive: The Cats may have clinched Saturday's win on the defensive end, as it limited Arizona State to just 37.5 percent (24-of-64) shooting, including 35.5 percent (11-of-31) shooting in the second half. It marked the seventh time this season that UA has held an opponent to less than 40 percent shooting from the field.
In Close: After posting a .387 FG percentage in the first half of Saturday's game, Arizona managed to improve a bit by shooting 48.1 percent (13-of-27) in the second half. Most impressively, 11 of those 13 second half field goals were either dunks or lay-ups. Only Stoudamire's 14-foot game-winner and a trey by Mustafa Shakur at the 12:52 mark were Arizona's only field goals outside of the paint. For the game, 17 of Arizona's 25 field goals were dunks, lay-ups or tip-ins.
Shooting Straight: The difference in field goal accuracy is a key for the Wildcats, as the club is 18-0 when outshooting the opposition. During Pac-10 play, Arizona is shooting 49.2 percent (542-of-1102) from the field, markedly better than the 45.6 (493-of-1080) percent shooting by the opposition.
Steady: Sophomore Mustafa Shakur put forth a solid effort in Saturday's win, posting totals of 14 points, a career-high eight rebounds and four assists. Shakur was 6-of-10 from the floor, including 1-of-1 from three-point range and reached double figures for the 10th time this season. In 30 regular season appearances, Shakur is averaging 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.
Always on the Run: Arizona has made a name for itself with an ability to embark on some large scoring runs. Fifteen times during the 2004-05 season UA has posted a scoring run of more than 15 points. Here is a look at the list:
24 points ?- 38-14 run over 11:33 vs. Oregon, Feb. 17
21 points ?- 29-8 run over 8:58 vs. Manhattan, Dec. 21
19 points ?- 27-8 run over 8:10 vs. Wright State, Nov. 18
19 points ?- 22-3 run over 8:49 vs. Richmond, Dec. 30
19 points ?- 19-0 run over 4:10 at UCLA, Feb. 12
19 points ?- 19-0 run over 4:32 at Arizona State, March 5
18 points ?- 20-2 run over 8:11 vs. San Diego, Nov. 16
18 points ?- 22-4 run over 7:50 vs. California, Feb. 3
18 points ?- 31-13 run over 9:59 vs. Oregon State, Feb. 20
17 points ?- 25-8 run over 10:15 vs. Eastern Washington, Dec. 28
16 points ?- 18-2 run over 5:00 vs. Wyoming, Nov. 30
16 points ?- 23-7 run over 5:59 vs. Manhattan, Dec. 21
16 points ?- 21-5 run over 5:12 vs. Arizona State, Jan. 2
16 points ?- 16-0 run over 4:24 at Oregon, Jan. 20
16 points ?- 29-13 run over 10:56 vs. Stanford, Feb. 5
Scoring 80: Perhaps no statistic is more telling of UA success, as the squad is 139-17 (.891) since the start of the 1997-98 season when scoring at least 80 points. The Cats are 15-1 this season when topping the 80-point plateau.
Early Signees: Coach Olson and his staff signed three student-athletes to National-Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period. Fendi Onobun (F, 6-7, 215) from Houston, Texas, Alief Taylor High School; J.P. Prince (G, 6-6, 183) from Memphis, Tenn., White Station High School; and Marcus Williams (F, 6-6, 190) from Seattle, Wash., Roosevelt High School, will join the squad next fall.
Up Next: Following today's game, Arizona will either advance to Friday's first semifinal at 6:15 p.m. PST, which will be televised on Fox Sports Net, or return to Tucson and await Sunday's announcement of the NCAA Tournament participants.

Cunard's Queen Victoria, which only just debuted last month to much pomp and circumstance, is reporting its first major bout with Norovirus. According to media reports, 80 passengers on the 90,000-ton, 2,014-passenger ship had taken ill.
Norovirus is a highly contagious gastrointestinal flu that causes vomiting and diarrhea. It typically comes on quite suddenly -- and lasts about one and a half days. The virus is a common plague in enclosed places -- like hospitals, schools, shopping malls, restaurants and, yes, cruise ships.
At this point, only about a third of the passengers who got sick are still ill; the rest have recovered. Typically, cruise lines have protocols and procedures in place when occurrences start to multiply. Because the virus is spread most easily through hand-to-hand contact, the line supplied bottles of hand sanitizer at entrances to places like the gangway, dining rooms, public restrooms and the casino.
Most cruise lines require passengers who come down with Norovirus to be quarantined in their cabins until it's worn off. Passengers are served meals and such via room service, and typically, special quarantine teams clean their cabins. As well, onboard medical centers are equipped to handle patient needs.
Because Norovirus outbreaks are so common, Cruise Critic usually only covers them when more than 10 percent of passengers and crew are affected -- or in the case of a particularly unusual situation. In this case, the Queen Victoria outbreak is included more because the ship is so new than because of the outbreak's outreach.

Boa Ventura Travel guide
Boa Ventura : Michelin's recommendations
This village in the vineyards is in an attractive area which separates two valleys. Not far from there, 3km away, to the right, you have a great view over the coast which highlights the indentations of the nearby River dos Moinhos. To the left you will come to Ponta Delgada, with its completely white church and sea water swimming pool. After Ponta Delgada, the coastline becomes even more forbidding.

Originally published in 1939, this book presents a humorous and self-deprecating account of Child's early experiences as an actor in various theatrical companies, prior to his decision to leave the stage and concentrate on writing. Illustrative figures are also included. This is a fascinating and highly readable book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in Child's writings and British theatre in general.

This 4th of July holiday weekend there will be plenty of barbecues and fireworks. However, if you want a fun workout I have a great idea. Do you like to swim where there are no sharks? I do. Taking a swim in the pool early evening can be the perfect time especially for someone that has diabetes. Why? If you have already eaten dinner 1-2 hours prior to your swim your blood sugar can handle the exercise. It's always best that you have someone swimming with you just in case you have a low blood sugar. Be sure they're fully trained in what to do if your blood sugar takes a dive. In addition, keep your choice of glucose, juice, and snacks handy just in case you need them. Believe me a low blood sugar seems to happen when you're not prepared.
Swimming is a great way to get fit and feel fabulous at the same time. This summer take a break from the gym and head to the swimming pool for a change. Swimming is a way to take the pressure off of your joints. As a runner it's critical for me to take a break by swimming. What type of exercise will you be doing this summer?
According to a Spanish study of young cyclists, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry watermelon is rich in the Amino Acid L-Citrulline, which reduces muscle soreness after exercise. What's so amazing is that earlier research shows that L-citrulline helps lower blood pressure, improves heart health, and may enhance sexual stamina and athletic performance. If you have diabetes, this fruit has many health benefits for you.
It's time to go for a swim. Are you ready? If you need to raise your blood sugar after you go swimming have a slice of watermelon.
Happy 4th of July weekend

How do I easily switch to an open folder on a Mac?
In Windows, which I'm used to using, I can see all my opened folders in my vertical taskbar, all I need to do to switch to another window is click on the folder in the task bar.
There's no taskbar on a Mac, and when I have a lot of folders opened, ie. lots of Finder windows, how can I switch between them?
The way I'm doing it is, I put expose on an active corner and switch that way. However that's still damn hard, because first I have to bring up expose, and then find my window. The folders are placed in a random position between opened apps, the folders are not in a list, and on a big screen I have to scan the whole screen in order to find the one I want... etc.
Is it really this hard just to switch to a different folder on a Mac?
Is there a taskbar solution on a Mac?

In their most winnable game of a never-ending West-coast trip, the Brooklyn Nets escaped Utah with a 105-99 win.
The Nets trailed by 13 points in the third quarter, but Andray Blatche and Joe Johnson spurred the turnaround. Blatche finished with 25 points and six rebounds while Johnson added a game-high 27 points. Blatche's 25 points mark his Nets' career-high.
The Nets won in Utah for the first time since November of 2008. Deron Williams scored 19 points in his return to the place where it all started.
The Jazz tied the game, 84-84, midway through the fourth quarter, but the Nets embarked on a 10-1 run.
The Nets also turned over the ball a season-low seven times.
The win came in conjunction with the news that the team acquired shooting guard Marcus Thornton from the Sacramento Kings. In the deal, the Nets relinquished Jason Terry and Reggie Evans. Thornton scored 42 points earlier in the season against the Indiana Pacers, and he brings a scoring penchant to the Brooklyn bench.
Although Thornton can score in buckets, most know him for his inconsistencies. After averaging over 20 ppg just two years ago, his numbers have dwindled to date. In 2013-14, Thornton has averaged 8.3 ppg while shooting 38.1 percent from the field and 31.8 percent from three-point range.
General manager Billy King, a proponent of gambling, risks very little on a high-reward candidate. At no point would Terry erupt for 42 points, thus making a streaky Thornton an instant-offense candidate.
Depending on the scenario, Thornton will likely take minutes from Alan Anderson.
The Nets return to action Saturday night against the Golden State Warriors. The Nets will look to sweep a second straight season series after winning their second contest against the Jazz.
The Nets will continue as players in the NBA trade deadline watch. With the Thursday deadline looming, the Nets are rumored as players for Los Angeles Lakers big man Jordan Hill. The Charlotte Bobcats and Cleveland Cavaliers also maintain interest in the one-time Knick.

Help the Naval Institute Go Green
The Naval Institute Foundation relies on direct mail to raise gift income because it works—and the margin of excellence this extra support affords the Institute's educational programs can't be achieved by membership dues alone. It's expensive to reach out to members through the mail, so we are trying something new in this month's Proceedings and ask for your help to make the experiment a success.
Between pages 16 and 17 of this issue is a donation form that includes a postage-paid envelope. It costs the Foundation considerably less to insert this form in the magazine than it does to mail individual appeal letters—savings passed directly to the Institute's many programs and returned to members through improved services. It also requires less paper and energy to reach out this way, so everybody wins.
Please pull out the form and return it with your best gift today. If now is not the right time to contribute, please retain the form and send in your tax-deductible support when it is more convenient.
If members will respond generously to appeals in Proceedings —or make their tax-deductible gifts on-line at www.usni.org —we can make better use of limited Foundation funds and deliver to you a sounder and stronger USNI.

A man from Farmington Hills, Michigan was scammed out of $3,800 when someone called him and pretended to be from the IRS. Likely nervous, the man went along with the scam, not knowing that it was, in fact, a scam.
The man was told to pay nearly $4,000 in "prepaid money cards" and the caller even threatened to "charge him" with various crimes if they money wasn't forked over. After the man complied, he got another call -- this time from someone claiming to be the town sheriff. The number on the man's caller ID matched up, but when the caller insisted that the man owed $4,500, the man became suspicious.
Turns out, the man is out the initial $3,800 and both phone calls were scams. Police are urging people not to give out any information over the phone and not to pay any money to someone who they aren't sure is legit. More on this story in the video above.

The midfielder joined the Royals last summer from Newcastle United and fell out with Brian McDermott after refusing to travel to Sunderland, but is happy to be back playing againReading midfielder Danny Guthrie is enjoying playing for the club again and helping them to try to stay in the Premier League, after overcoming a dispute earlier in the season.
Guthrie was fined two weeks wages after he refused to travel for their trip to face Sunderland in December, but has now found himself back in Royals boss Brian McDermott's starting line-up.
Speaking to the club's official website, he said: "I'm really enjoying it and whatever has gone on in the past is clearly out of the window.
"I felt like I owed everyone not just a performance, but a bit of form to get us out of the hole we were in. I feel like I'm slowly doing that.
"I'm getting stronger in each game, and I got stronger as the game went on [at Newcastle].
|Reading are 2/1 with William Hill to avoid relegation from the Premier League
"I was told that this club always gets stronger after Christmas and we've certainly done that. This is just the start of a run of games we need to put together."
"By no means we're out of trouble, but we're just looking at it game by game and it's a nice position that we've put ourselves in."
Reading have won four of their last five games, and will be looking for another victory when they face Sheffield United in the FA Cup on Saturday.

SENSETEC fully understands the benefits of a personal service; we not only believe in a high level service and support from conception through to completion but through continued after sales support and service. We aim to exceed our customer's expectations; our own personnel undertake all aspects of installation and maintenance.
