{{Nihongo|'''''Eternal Sonata'''''|トラスティベル～ショパンの夢～|Torasuti Beru Shopan no Yume|Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream }} is an original [[computer role-playing game|RPG]] created by [[tri-Crescendo]], one of the developers of ''[[Baten Kaitos]]'' and ''[[Baten Kaitos Origins]]''.

The story takes place in a dream world which centers around famed piano composer [[Frédéric Chopin]], who died at the age of 39 due to [[tuberculosis]]. The plot centers around the concept that three hours prior to his death, Chopin dreamed of a fairy-tale land, in which people with incurable diseases have great magical powers.

In the dream world, Chopin meets a young girl in the Village of Tenuto, Polka, who also suffers from an incurable disease.

''Eternal Sonata'' features a [[battle system]] centered around musical elements and character-unique special attacks. Light and darkness plays a part in the appearance and abilities of enemies on the battlefield, as well as the types of magic that can be cast.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3158051 | title=1UP.com - Eternal Sonata Preview | work=Alice Liang | accessdate=2007-03-17}}</ref>

The game features a selection of Chopin's compositions played by [[pianist]] [[Stanislav Bunin]], though most of the in-game music was composed by [[Motoi Sakuraba]].

The game was released on [[June 14]], [[2007]] in Japan under the title ''Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream''. It will be released on [[September 17]], [[2007]] in North America. While no exact release date was given for Europe or Australia, it is known to be before the end of 2007.

Although the Japanese version of the official Xbox website lists it as "Only on Xbox 360",<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xbox.com/ja-JP/games/t/trustybell/|title=www.xbox.com/ja-JP/games/t/trustybell/}}</ref> as of [[April 23]], [[2007]], the [[ESRB]]'s site listed it as being rated T on both the Xbox 360 and the [[PlayStation 3]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.joystiq.com/2007/04/23/esrb-lists-eternal-sonata-on-xbox-360-and-playstation-3/|title=www.joystiq.com/2007/04/23/esrb-lists-eternal-sonata-on-xbox-360-and-playstation-3/}}</ref> As of this writing, there have been no official comments regarding this event, so it is not known if the game is a "timed exclusive" or if this was a mistake on the ESRB's part. On [[April 25]], [[2007]], however, the game was removed from ESRB's listings completely.<ref>{{cite web|title=N4G.com : ESRB pulls Eternal Sonata listing|url=http://n4g.com/News-36536.aspx}}</ref>

==Characters==
{{list to prose (section)}}
===''Playable Characters:''===

====Chopin====
Sex: Male

Age: 39

Weapon: Baton

Japanese Voice: [[Mitsuaki Madono]] 真殿光昭

"I can basically use all kinds of magic. I am dreaming up this world, after all."

His full name is [[Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin]]. Born in Poland in 1810, he is known as the "poet of the piano". Of weak constitution, he nevertheless has a deeply sensitive and subtle personality. In particular, the loss of his 14-year-old sister Emilia to tuberculosis left a deep scar on his heart. Chopin can see traces of her in Polka, also 14 and destined to die. While knowing that the world in which he meets Allegretto and Polka is just a dream he is having on his death bed, gradually he becomes more and more confused by how real the world feels. He begins to question where his true feelings lie.
All the words he speaks come out as poetry.

====Allegretto====
Sex: Male

Age: 16

Weapon: Sword

Japanese Voice: [[Hiro Shimono]]　下野紘

"It doesn't make sense! In this world the people with shining hearts are the ones who suffer! ...That's supposed to be okay?!?"

A boy who works as a bread thief in the port city of Ritardando to provide food for poor children. Though he knows what he is doing is wrong, his strong sense of justice refuses to let him abandon the children. He uses rough language and occasionally even hits his young friend Beat, but in reality he is deeply emotional, and thinks of his young friend as a little brother. With the contradiction of a world where the gap between rich and poor lying especially hard on his mind, Allegretto sets off on journey.
He is captivated by Polka, who makes light of her own tragic fate while living each day with earnest, and resolves to save her.

====Polka====
Sex: Female

Age: 14

Weapon: Parasol

Japanese Voice: [[Aya Hirano]]　平野綾

"I want to use this limited life of mine to give everyone happiness."

A girl who lives with her mother in the village of Tenuto, on top of a hill overlooking the port of Ritardando. She makes her living by selling Floral Sealing Medicine, extracted from Tenuto's unique flowers. However, due to the circulation of cheap government-recognized Ore Sealing Medicine, lately she has been unable to sell any medicine at all. In a world where magic is a side-effect seen in those cursed by a fatal and incurable disease, death is always close to a magic-user such as she. Added to such a cruel fate are rumors flying about that the disease is transmitted simply through contact, leading Polka to be shunned by humanity and causing her to lose all trust in others. However, after meeting Chopin, she decides to use what little remains of her life to help others.

====Beat====
Sex: Male

Age: 8

Weapon: Clarinet Gunhammer

Japanese Voice: [[Yumiko Kobayashi]]　小林由美子

"Why is bread this expensive? If it were a little cheaper, we could just buy it..."

Works as a bread thief with Allegretto in the port city of Ritardando. Beat calls Allegretto "Niichan" (big brother) and adores him like an older brother. A camera that is the only surviving memento of his father is his treasure. Beat is short for his age and is bothered by his height. Sporting a bright and cheerful personality, he is able to talk to anyone and everyone freely. Though he does not usually think very hard, in many cases his sincere words come surprisingly close to the real truth.

====Viola====
Sex: Female

Weapon: Bow

Japanese Voice: [[Houko Kuwashima]]

A young woman who lives in a house in the middle of Chorus Plains and spends her time tending her goats. Viola is always accompanied by her pet squirrel, Arco. She has an outgoing, cheerful personality and an independent spirit. An expert with the bow, Viola lives off of rabbits and other small animals. She prefers a quiet life in the countryside to the crowded and noisy cities.<ref name="charref">http://eternalsonata.namcobandaigames.com</ref>

====Salsa====
Sex: Female

Weapon: Sun Rings

Japanese Voice: [[Mika Kanai]]

A young girl who has grown up surrounded by nature in Agogo Village. Salsa is full of energy, extremely self-confident, and very opinionated. Because of this, she has rather antagonistic relationships with Beat and Viola. Salsa has a tendency to jump to conclusions that are completely incorrect. She often brings humor to serious situations, without being completely aware of it.<ref name="charref" />

====March====
Sex: Female

Weapon: Moon Rings

Japanese Voice: [[Chiwa Saito]]

Salsa's twin sister. March is an introspective and kind young girl with a great love of nature. She often worries about Salsa's aggressive attitude and behavior but still admires her. Unlike her sister, March is soft-spoken and calm; she can truly get along with anyone. March is also very mature for her age, so she is able to understand difficult concepts with surprising ease.<ref name="charref" />

====Jazz====
Sex: Male

Weapon: Blade

Japanese Voice: [[Jyouji Nakata]]

The leader of an anti-government group called Andantino. Jazz has a serious and determined personality. These characteristics help him make clear decisions in any situation, which is why he is a good leader. Jazz's only weakness is the blind spot he tends to have in regards to the people who are closest to him.<ref name="charref" />

====Falsetto====
Sex: Female

Weapon: Knuckles

Japanese Voice: [[Tomoe Hanba]]

A young woman who is a member of Andantino, and a childhood friend of Jazz. Falsetto has romantic feelings for Jazz but has never been able to summon the courage to tell him.

====Claves====
Sex: Female

Weapon: Rapier

Japanese Voice: [[Mie Sonozaki]]

A member of Andantino, who is also Jazz's lover. Claves is very dedicated, but often has trouble remembering complicated strategies. She knows that Falsetto doesn't like her. However, Claves is also jealous of Falsetto because of the longtime friendship she shares with Jazz.<ref name="charref" />

===''Non-playable Characters:''===

==Development==
Says director Hiroya Hatsushiba:<ref>http://kotaku.com/gaming/we-want-to-know/chopins-role-in-eternal-sonata-explained-287143.php</ref>
{{cquote|People who play games and people who love classical music are not necessarily sharing [the] same type of interests. Most people in Japan know the name of Chopin; however, most of the people who know of Chopin think he is just some kind of a great music composer without knowing any more about him. Most of them have heard Chopin's music but not a lot could put his name to it immediately. By creating a colorful fantasy world in Chopin's dream, I was hoping that people would get into this game easily and also come to know how great Chopin's music is.}}

'''1UP.com''' is a video-game site owned and operated by [[Ziff Davis Media]], the media conglomerate behind popular videogame magazines ''[[Computer Gaming World]]'' (''CGW'') (now known as ''[[Games for Windows: The Official Magazine]]'' (or GFW) Magazine), ''[[Electronic Gaming Monthly]]'' (''EGM''), and the now-defunct ''[[Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine]]'' (''OPM''), ''[[GMR (magazine)]]'', and ''[[Xbox Nation]]'' (XBN) magazines. It is part of the 1UP Network, which includes said magazines as well as 1UP.com, GameVideos.com, MyCheats.com, GameTab.com, and FileFront.com.

Launched in 2003, 1UP.com does its own original features, news stories, game reviews, and video interviews; it also expands on articles in GFW and EGM. Unlike older gaming sites like [[GameSpot]], [[IGN]] and [[GameSpy]], 1UP.com was built from the beginning to be a community-focused social networking site for gamers. For example, their cheats-focused arm, MyCheats.com, is set up so that members of the community can contribute to the construction of game guides. Gamers, editors and game developers can all have profiles, [[blog]]s, and friends lists on the site, which are integrated into the editorial content (previews/reviews).

1UP.com hosts special week-long "online cover stories" (examples include [[Soul Calibur 3]], [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]], and [[Virtua Fighter 5]]) that present each day a new in-depth feature story, interview with the developers, game screenshot gallery, game video footage, and/or video of the game studio and creators.

==The 1UP Show==
{{main|The 1UP Show}}
Since [[October 21]], [[2005]], 1UP.com has been host to ''The 1UP Show'', a weekly [[video podcast]]. The show often presents previews and reviews of games, though it also focuses on video gaming events, interviews with game designers and in-house discussions and debates on gaming topics.

The latest episodes of ''The 1UP Show'' (currently in its fifth season) can be downloaded/viewed from their site every Friday, or from podcast managers such as [[iTunes]]. You can download it from their website by going to www.the1upshow.1up.com/ which also allows you to view the show online.

Recently on the 1UP Show, news editor Luke Smith announced that he would be leaving the website and going to do something else. Luke Smith is/was a regular host on the 1UP Yours Podcast and does the news segment for the podcast. It was just recently announced in the latest 1UP Yours Podcast that he was offered a job at [[Bungie Studios|Bungie]].

==Podcasts==

Previously the 1UP Podcast, '''''1UP Yours''''' is a weekly internet radio show that takes the form of a discussion among several editors from the 1UP network. The radio show began October 21, 2005 as a weekly news show hosted by Jane Pinckard.

As with The 1UP Show, the 1UP Yours podcast has recently become a more complex and organized radio show. In its current form, the show's hosts are Garnett Lee, Luke Smith, John Davison, and "special guest" Shane Bettenhausen, along Andrew "Skip" Pfister on the audio board (with other 1Up editors, such as "the real special guest" Mark Macdonald, filling in when one of the regular members are on leave), discussing current topics in the video game world. Topics include press announcements, news from gaming conferences, and discussion of game design.

Generally, the program begins with "Whatcha been playing?", wherein the editors discuss games they are currently playing for fun or, as is more often the case, games they are either reviewing or are previewing, and a community segment where they discuss a few questions or thread topics taken from their official message board.

This segment is followed by a more focused feature, which may include a more in-depth discussion on a particular topic (such as reactions to new system launches or the concept of microtransactions in games) or quasi-regular features such as the Four-Minute Warning (an [[ESPN]] ''[[Pardon the Interruption]]''-style "toss-up" segment) featuring a discussion on a menagerie of subject matters or the "Pile of Shame", in which the editors discuss acclaimed games they've yet to play.

The third segment reviews the news from the past week, complete with reactions from the editors after each topic is brought up.

Occasionally, guests from the industry, including [[Cliff Bleszinski]] and Mark Rein from [[Epic Games]], Cameron from [[Angry Gamer]] and [[Ted Price]] from [[Insomniac]], visit the show to discuss their various products or just participate in the program itself.

The podcast usually lasts about one and a half hours, and is usually recorded on Thursdays, with the podcast being made available the following day, Friday.

===Other podcasts===
Along with the 1UP Yours podcast, the 1UP Network is also host to other podcasts: '''''EGM Live*'''''
and the '''''GFW Podcast''''' are both hosted by the editors of the respective magazines.

The '''''Retronauts''''' podcast and its supplemental video, '''''Bonus Stage''''', discuss older ("classic") games and systems and is hosted by 1Up features editor Jeremy Parish and Scott Sharkey. Finally, the '''''Legendary Thread''''' podcast, which focuses on the online game [[World of Warcraft]], is hosted by Game Videos managing editor Demian Linn and 1UP News Editor Luke Smith.

The show is shot largely in the offices of 1UP and its affiliated magazines, and partly on location at press events and game shows. Its interviews are generally quite informal compared to the more formal [[talking head]] style interviews seen at sites such as [[GameSpot]] and [[IGN]]. The 1UP Show occasionally features obscure references to gaming culture.

The latest episodes of The 1UP Show (currently in its third season) can be downloaded/viewed from their site every Friday, or from Podcast managers such as iTunes or Yahoo! .

{{election colombia}}
{{liberal party}}
The '''Colombian Liberal Party''' ([[Spanish language|Spanish]]: ''Partido Liberal Colombiano;'' PLC) is a [[social democracy|social democratic]] and [[liberal parties|liberal]] party in [[Colombia]].

It is the largest single party in the Colombian Congress, with 54 out of 161 deputies, and 28 of 102 senators. The current [[List of Presidents of Colombia|President of Colombia]], [[Álvaro Uribe|Álvaro Uribe Vélez]], is a former member of the party, having crafted all of his political career prior to his election (where he ran as an independent Liberal) inside it.

Most of the current "Officialist" (as named by the Colombian press) leadership of the Liberal Party is openly opposed to Uribe's government and his policies, but he has the strong backing of a substantial minority within the party, including several Liberal congressmen (classified as "Uribist" Liberals by the media), a few of which are currently experiencing an internal investigation for alleged "party indiscipline" (because of their support for several government measures, including the reform project that would potentially allow Uribe to run for a second term, in opposition to the Liberal Party's official stance).

These two factions, according to some observers, may be considered as a renewal of the old "split" between "neoliberal" and more "social" minded Liberal politicians, though the formula is not without its exceptions.

The Liberal Party is a member of [[Socialist International]]. From [[1958]] to [[1978]] it, and the other major party, the [[Colombian Conservative Party]], shared power as the result of the [[History_of_Colombia#The_National_Front|National Front]] agreement that followed the fall of General [[Gustavo Rojas Pinilla]].
