New Meningitis Vaccination Requirements
All incoming Texas college students under 22 years old, must be immunized against bacterial meningitis before they enroll in an institution of higher education.
The new law mandates that the following students be inoculated against the bacterial meningitis illness:
- First-time college students
- Students transferring from another institution
- Students who are re-enrolling following a break of at least one fall or spring semester
It is imperative that UT Arlington students who fall into one of the categories above and who plan to enroll for the coming semester be vaccinated as soon as possible. Under the law, college students must have received the vaccine within the past five years. Proof of inoculation is required 10 days before the start of the semester as the vaccine is considered effective several days after it is administered. Limited exemptions are specified in state law.
UT Arlington has contracted with Magnus Health SMR to collect student vaccination records, verify the documents, and maintain the records in compliance with federal privacy laws. When you log in to your Magnus Health SMR account, you will be able to upload your proof of vaccination.
UT Arlington asks students to submit proof of vaccination to Magnus Health SMR, to ensure that documents are processed in time to comply with the law. In addition, if you are required to receive the vaccination and are offered campus housing accommodations, you must comply with the meningitis vaccination requirements at least 10 days from a housing contract offer or 10 days before move in, whichever is earliest.
Students will not be permitted to move into on-campus housing until a full 10 days has passed since the date of the vaccination. Students who have been approved for on-campus housing and have not received a vaccination in a timely manner will be expected to pay to stay in an off-campus hotel or make alternate arrangements for housing until the full 10 days have elapsed. In addition, non-compliant students may experience financial penalties for failure to comply with their contractual obligations. Students will not be allowed to enroll or move in to campus housing without submitting timely proof that they have complied with the meningitis vaccination law.
For answers to commonly asked questions, please visit www.uta.edu/meningitis or College Vaccine Requirements.
For questions about document submission, please contact Magnus Health SMR at 1-877-461-6831 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Policies Subject to Change: The University, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to make exceptions and changes to the assignment priorities and policies without prior notice and without compensation to applicants waiting for assignment to university housing.
College is a place of discovery that equips you with the knowledge, skills, and experiences you'll need to achieve your biggest broadest goals or your focused strategic plans. And when you're on that path of discovery, you'll need a place to live that allows room for all that growth. A place that encompasses everything you could hope to get out of a college experience and so much more.
Move-In Information
The countdown is on to the kickoff of Maverick Stampede Welcome Week! This week starts with new and returning residents moving into their new homes on campus.

Hostel Veronique
Real Reviews
Real reviews from fellow travellers
These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- Page:1/1
- " Although we booked Veronique, they hosted us in Hostal Alekin, two floors up. One of the beds was too soft and my girlfriend did not sleep well. We had no running water during one night, but things can happen everywhere, no big deal. Once you receive the keys, there is nobody at reception to ask for travel advise. Luckily, the hostel in in the heart of the city, less than a minute to Palazzo Vecchio, so that cancels out the hostel's sortcommings. "
- 22 Mar 2016 Eric Spain
- " Had a phenomenal time in this hostel. Owner was very gracious and met with us before our predetermined check-in time. Room had a deadbolt lock. Hostel is located in a great part of the city. "
- 14 Mar 2016 aaron USA
- " they cleaned the bathrooms everyday but sometimes not enough times, so sometimes they were dirty. Also, once we moved the bed and it was FILTHY underneath. "
- 22 Jan 2016 Anonymous Argentina
- " O proprietário e sua esposa (brasileira) falam português e tentam sempre ajudar, na medida do possível. A localização é fantástica, bem no centro de Florença. Quando chegamos não encontramos toalhas e tivemos que improvisar o primeiro banho. "
- 10 Jan 2016 Guilherme Brazil
- " Ok value for money, nothing more. Best suited for young or sporty people travelling on a tight budget. "
- 10 Sep 2015 Mirjam Norway
- " We spent six dags in the hostel, and every day the shared bathroom and hallway was cleaned. The bed and the room was big and also clean. The decorations and cosines are certainly not the "Savoy"(!) but you do get what you pay for. A bed and a place to stay. Food stands nearby. We brought our own towels,.The landlady was very helpful - for no extra cost they looked after our luggage, and she helped us get a taxi. You stay close to all the sights in the city and can come and go as you like. "

TUCSON, Ariz. -- There's a good Iowa crowd here, but they will only be a small portion of the 58,000 or so packing into Arizona Stadium.
Arizona is in all red and the stands look like a sea of red.
Playing at home isn't just about comfort. Noise limits what an opponent can do.
A home offense gets quiet from the friendly audience, so any bits of communication are easy to deliver. A road offense gets hostile noise, so communication at certain times can be limited to hand signals.
Iowa has a veteran QB in Ricky Stanzi. And he's played in front of plenty of noisy crowds. It's not really a matter of intimidating him. That isn't going to happen.
But if things are going the Wildcats way, and the crowd is going nuts, Stanzi will face logistical challenges.
Those could be worth a field goal. Or they could be worth, in the right circumstances, even more than that.
But if Iowa jumps ahead early and shocks the crowd into silence, that advantage is lost.
Not saying a fast start is critical for the Wildcats. But it certainly would marinate the crowd, which has had plenty of time to get lubricated during the daylight hours.

Hauppauge-based Orbit International announced today it has received a follow-on order from the U.S. Navy for the manufacturing of color programmable entry panels.
The order, valued at $1.76 million, will aid the Navy in transitioning from Orbit's older plasma entry panels to the newer color models. Programmable entry panels are used with the computer display systems for surface naval ships.
The Navy has placed an additional order worth $878,000, although the contract allows it to exercise an option to procure an additional order worth that same amount, bringing the total to $1.76 million.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3″ title="Also read"]
Orbit will begin delivering the entry panels – manufactured at its Hauppauge facility – in the third quarter of 2012. The additional order is likely to be picked up by the fourth quarter of 2012, Orbit officials said.
Bruce Reissman, Orbit's COO noted, "This contract represents further acceptance by the U.S. Navy of Orbit's 'smart' programmable LCD displays for critical situation environments. Our state-of-the-art Color PEPs are designed to replace over 3,500 Orbit's legacy plasma entry panels that have been deployed on the U.S. Naval Fleet since 1982. We view this Color PEP replacement program as a significant long-term opportunity, as a large number of Arleigh Burke class AEGIS destroyers and Ticonderoga class AEGIS cruisers remain in domestic and foreign fleet service."

Sony Hx100V - How is it shooting distant wildlife ?
May 29, 2011
I'm interested in this camera for shooting stills and video of distant wildlife. I would appreciate it if someone could post comparison photos (wide angle and full zoom) and/or video of animals like cows or elk or deer from distance of 1/2 mile to 1 mile distance. My 18x Panasonic is nice but still a bit short. Thanks in advance.

Corning (GLW) is up 12% in the past month, about three times the rise in the Standard & Poor's 500 index. We've liked the stock since June when we learned Corning had introduced Willow glass, a flexible substance that can be wrapped around objects and devices.

Goldman Sachs analyst Simona Jankowski expects the company to report its first year-over-year sales growth in four quarters and first earnings-per-share gain in eight quarters.
Yet, the implied volatility of Corning's bearish put prices is elevated, reflecting investor concern that the shares will decline on the earnings report. In contrast, Corning's bullish call options, which increase in value if the stock rises, are inexpensive.
The skepticism creates opportunities for investors to sell bearish puts to position themselves to buy the stock at a lower price, and to buy bullish calls to participate in a potential earnings-led advance.
The fundamentals of liquid-crystal displays, used in flat-screen televisions, computer monitors, and the like are believed to be improving, if for no other reason than that LCD glass and panel makers are getting smarter about managing supply, which helps mitigate demand, or the lack thereof. Weak LCD fundamentals are a primary reason why Corning's stock shed 4% of its value in the past three years, as the S&P 500 rose 51%.
With Corning's stock at $13.38, Goldman Sachs' derivatives strategists are telling clients to buy the November $14 calls, recently at 30 cents, in anticipation that the stock will rise 7.2% on earnings. Aggressive investors who want to build a position in Corning should complement the call trade with a put sale. Premiums in near-month puts aren't high, but selling Corning's November $13 put for 49 cents looks reasonable. If the stock dips below $13, you own it, which isn't an unpleasant outcome.
SUPER OPTIONS HAVE ENCOUNTERED a not-so-super delay. The Securities and Exchange Commission recently told the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) that it was delaying action on a proposal to create options that expire in as many as 15 years, up from three years, until Nov. 8. Approval had been expected by Sept. 28 (see The Striking Price, "Here Come Super Options," Sept. 7).
Although the SEC indicated it wants to consider the one comment letter submitted, it seems more likely that the agency was slow to grasp the significance of the CBOE's super options. They would be surrogates for stocks and even mutual funds, and would likely lower trading volumes on NYSE Euronext's (NYX) New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq OMX's NDAQ -0.15521377169465217% Nasdaq Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD70.76 -0.11 -0.15521377169465217% /Date(1469826000363-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 800487 AFTER HOURS USD70.7458 -0.0142 -0.02006783493499152% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 8503 P/E Ratio 24.569444444444443 Market Cap 11641081708.2535 Dividend Yield 1.8089315997738835% Rev. per Employee 925209 More quote details and news » (NDAQ) Nasdaq Stock Market.
It's implausible that the SEC will conduct a market-data analysis before approving the CBOE's proposal, as urged by the sole comment maker, Chris Nagy, who runs consultancy KOR Trading. But the idea bears consideration by options exchanges, even if the Securities and Exchange Commission ignores it. Exchanges should mitigate massive data dumps that increasingly dominate the financial market's quote network. Market makers shouldn't have to worry that subsecond delays updating illiquid options will attract high-speed trading firms whose computers profit off stale quotes.
The exchanges won't work together because they are public companies and would rather direct resources to revenue-building projects. So, the SEC should approve super options and direct the exchanges to develop and implement a data-mitigation plan in 24 months.

'She deserved it': Basketball Wives' star Nia Crooks blames rival Jennifer Williams for slapping incident
It was the moment that shocked even long term fans of popular reality television show Basketball Wives.
And it has emerged Nia Crooks is blaming Jennifer Williams in court documents for causing the incident that ended with her getting slapped earlier this year.
She has issued a strongly worded defence for her actions after being sued by her costar, who claims she suffered emotional distress and mental anguish after being hit on the head in an episode of the VH1 programme.
Ready to rumble: Nia Crooks and Jennifer Williams are going to face off again after the former issued her lawsuit defence
According to TMZ, Crooks is claiming Williams, who is the former wife of NBA star Derek, brought the slap on herself by the way she behaved.
In court docs filed by her lawyer Javier Solano, she claims the slap was 'caused in whole or in part by the culpable conduct, carelessness, contributory negligence or assumption of risk of [Williams].'
As well as the mental toll, the victim also claims she suffered a neck injury as a result of the assault, but Crooks is claiming the injuries are bogus and is asking the judge to dismiss the suit entirely.
Slapped: Nia Crooks has been charged with battery after she was seen hitting Williams on their reality TV show
It is just the latest twist in the case, which is still to be heard in criminal courts.
Crooks was charged with battery after her rival decided to press charges, and a hearing date is due to be set on June 28.
The on-camera confrontation happened at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, South Florida in January.
Williams flare-up with her former close friend Evelyn Lozada's assistant happened as the bitter falling out that ruined their friendship played out on camera this season.
If Crooks is convicted she could be faced with a year in jail.
Cat fight: After Crooks, left, slaps her, Williams, right, quickly realises from her chair and pushes her back before the two men scrap at each
Tension: After making a comment about slapping Nia Crooks then rises from her chair and stomps around to Williams, who is still seated at the conference table, followed closely by friend Tami who tried to hold her back
The women are seen sitting at a large table eating food when Crooks, wearing a maxidress with a blue peacock pattern and sunglasses, starts shouting at Williams 'Why don't you show the f***** world who you really are.'
Williams carries on eating, refusing to be baited by Crooks, which incenses her further.
She then makes a remark about slapping Williams saying 'Do you need to be slapped in your f****** face to realise the situation?'
Stop ladies: The pair then tussle before two members of production crew break the two fighting women up
Bitter: Even after they are split up and taken to opposite sides of the room, they both continue to scream obscenities at each other
To which Williams, wearing a pink lace dress, replies nonchalantly 'Yeah, yeah I really wish you would.'
Crooks then rises from her chair and stomps around to Williams, who is still seated at the table, followed closely by friend Tami who tries to hold her back.
She marches up to her and 'Say are you f******' serious you need a slap?'
She then whacks Williams on the face from behind, who quickly rises from her chair and pushes her back.
The pair then tussle before two members of production crew break the two fighting women up.
after they are dragged to separate sides of the room, they continue
screaming obscenities at each other and Evelyn is seen jumping over the
table in a blue dress.
Williams told the New York Daily News she had never been hit before in her life.
Involved: Basketball Wives co-star Evelyn Lozada is seen jumping across the table towards the two fighting women
'I didn't watch the video for a long time because I lived it,' she said.
'It's disturbing. It's humiliating. I get anxiety just thinking about it.'
Although there have been doubts about the authenticity of the slap, Williams denies the incident was scripted.
'Violence used against any person is wrong but when a woman hits another woman it sets a horrible example for young girls everywhere,' Williams told the New York Daily News.
Williams has also filed a complaint with the state attorney's office in Florida, said lawyer Sanford Rubenstein.
The suit seeks unspecified monetary and punitive damages from Crooks. VH1 is not named as a defendant.
Ladies lined-up: Cast of the VH1 show
Crooks could not be reached for comment by the website.
It's not the first time Williams has
been attacked on television - last year cameras caught the moment her ex-husband
threw a glass of water in her face when they were at a restaurant table.
The tumultuous show has had several fights - in May 2010, NBA star Michael Olowokondi's ex-girlfriend Suzie Ketcham was arrested after throwing a bucket of water over her nemesis, who then slipped and was badly hurt.

Watch the scenes. You'll be in a boss battle.
This boss is probably the first tough battle you'll come across yet. He
hits hard and fast so make sure you heal pretty often. If you have Ayn,
control Aldo and continue attacking. If you are controlling Reiha, make
sure to cast support skills like Atk up and heal. If you are having
problems defeating this boss, try increasing Heal's level and learn SP
recover. These two spells will come in handy in this battle.
This battle may take a while even with two attackers. His spells can knock
characters back with a great deal of damage; chances are you won't have
that much chance delivering offensive spells into use since you'll pretty
much concentrate on healing instead. Just keep on buffing your attackers,
heal and recover SP.
Just read through the conversations.

After the scene, head to the Dolphin Song to find those apprentice

Just like Mardin, this guy is tough and dangerous. He casts sleep on your
characters; you can only be awakened by getting hit by his attacks. Also,
beware of the twister he releases; it does continuous damage if you get
caught in its tracks. He will abuse using those two major skills together
so make sure to control Reiha and take care of the healing and curing.
Obviously, don't fight in the poison goo. Keep your allies' HP above 40% at
least throughout the battle to ensure that they won't be knocked out. Also,
make sure to recover your SP during short "breathers" or if your allies'
health is still high. There is no specific attack that will work
effectively against this boss so just use whatever you got and throw it all
at him.

This boss isn't hard but it has an attack that can take out your characters
easily if not careful. I suggest controlling Reiha and take care of the
healing. Heal Supreme will help a lot here. Beware when the enemy seems to
be charging. It will release a devastating nova blast around it. Just keep
healing and keep your party's HP above 50%, you'll be fine. After some
conversation, Ticah will join the party. You'll be taken back to the World

Watch the scenes. After that, return to the Dolphin Song. Talk to the
female apprentice summoner and agree to bring her a Mana Robe. You can get
one from the shop for 2260 gold. You'll get x5 Banna Wiggly in return. Talk
to the other girl and she'll tell you that Nemo is missing. Agree to find
him. Head to Eos Forest.
- Eos Forest / Area 3-
You'll automatically find Nemo and you'll need to escort him to the
entrance. There's a savepoint nearby so make sure you use it. Head to the
left to reach area 2 then the entrance. Remember that Nemo has low def and
HP so keep the battle away from him. Keep him also away from the marshes.
Try controlling Reiha and fight at a distance. Nassau will be very handy in
this sidequest. You'll receive 3ATK Scroll.
Once you're back to the world map, check out some new skills if you still
haven't then power up the important ones like heal and heal supreme. Head
to Diona Desert.

Watch the scene. You'll be asked what route you should take. Don't worry
since we'll cover both stages in this walkthrough. You'll need a second
playthrough to register the monsters for both locations, though.

- Area 7 -
This boss is deadly because of its laser attack that deals continuous
damage. You can control Reiha and buff your attackers first. Heal your
allies often. At this point, you should have a powered Heal Supreme spell
that will come in handy. This boss can only attack those in front of it
most of the time but beware that in prolonged battles, it will release a
devastating nova attack around it.
Chapter will end.

This battle is a bit tougher than the boss in Oreano Plains but drops more
loot and gold. This boss hits hard and quite thick-skinned. As usual, it's
best to control Reiha and take control of the healing. If the boss burrows,
just run around to avoid getting hit by the its mandibles. Just keep
healing your allies as necessary and attack with spells that deal
continuous damage.
Chapter 10
After the scene, you'll be back to the world map. Mt. Coryn will be
unlocked. There is a new accessory in Dolphin Song so get it if you want.
Otherwise head to your destination. As a sidenote, the boss inside Mt.
Eurinoch and Oreano Plains will still be there. The good thing is that they
will still drop the same amount of exp, loot and gold once you defeat them.
It's a good place to power level your characters up to a certain point.

This is not a tough battle, especially if you made 1-3 complete visits on
the previous stage. Its attacks are really hard to evade and can hit
multiple characters at one so keep your Heal Supreme spell ready. Avoid
placing your healer in the frontlines but have her provide healing and
support in the enemy's rear. If you have powered up some new skills and
entered them on your command palette, you'll see them kick in here.
Watch more scenes. Meet Lila. You'll then enter a battle with her.
Lila, like the last summoners you have faced is tough and dangerous. Her
attacks can immediately knock out your entire party if not careful. You
should watch out for the pink cloud and firestream attacks. It deals
continuous damage to everything caught in its path. As usual, controlling
your healer would be your best option here since you can take care of the
healing at your own will and the Aldo's AI will be more effective in
executing special attacks.
From time to time, there are breathers where Lila will resort in melee
combat. Use this chance to recharge your SP; it won't be a good if you
can't cast healing spells in the middle of a critical attack. There is no
effective attack against her so you'll need to endure her attacks and
deliver your own. Buff your attackers if you have the chance. This battle
may take a while, especially if one of your allies faints.
After the battle, there will more conversations and finally the chat
sessions with your party members.
Chapter 11
Watch the scenes until you reach the point you'll need to decide whether
to listen to Lila or not. Here's what will happen:
* Follow Lila –Lila will join the party, Ayn and Nassau will leave.
* Don't follow Lila – Lila won't join party, Nassau will leave
Its only temporary so don't worry. The next destination, Tuparoth Chasm
will available in the world map. For the meantime, return to the Dolphin
Song for a sidequest.

Talk to Nemo. He'll request for some Hyper Glue. This is abundant from the
last stage so you shouldn't have any problems completing this request.
Exchange 20 Hyperglue to receive a Flask. There will be some new equipment

but give little loot and gold. Head to your next destination when ready.

This boss isn't that hard, especially if you didn't have any problems
dispatching those sentinels on your way here. You concentrate more on
attacking this beast from behind. It does have some critical attacks;
however it does nothing more than to take a considerable amount of HP –
nothing a single Heal Supreme can't restore. Watch more scenes after that.
Once you gain control, you can head back to Area 6 to save. Proceed to the
north exit.

skills and prep your gear. Your allies won't be available at the moment so
make sure you get the best gear and skills you can get. Return to the
Dolphin Song to forge some new items. Talk to the female apprentice
summoner and agree to look for her partner lost in the Tuparoth Chasm.

You'll start in Area 4. Just escort the young apprentice safely to the

Enter the area for a scene. Either choice will still land you in a battle
with the boss.
This boss will continually spawn underlings so it's recommended to use
your ultimate spells to eliminate them quickly. You can switch in between
characters just keep the battle away from your healer. Once the boss
stretches its limbs, stay away from its reach to avoid continuous damage.
Its underlings aren't that much of a threat; however, they may pose as a
nuisance so its better they're out of the way. The boss will also release a
flurry of punches so have your healing spell ready. You should be able to
manage this battle without another party member as long as you have the
latest equipment and high level.
More scenes, then party chat. Chapter ends.
Chapter 14
More conversation. Back in the world map, there is an event in the Tuparoth
Chasm. For the meantime, head back to the Dolphin Song and talk to the male
apprentice summoner. He'll ask for 12 Tanned Horns. Help him out to get
Beauty Drink x2. Visit the Chasm for the event. Whatever decision you
choose, you'll need to battle Mardin afterwards.
His attack patterns are still the same. However, since your level is pretty
much higher than before, there will be no problems keeping up with him.
When using Aldo, use Swords Dance then switch to Reiha if you need healing.
While at it, you can also increase Aldo's attack or defense.
Watch more scenes and the chapter ends.

as well. Power up/ purchase some new skills.

This boss only has short and medium range but does pretty damaging attacks
nonetheless. Eliminate the two minions then concentrate on taking down the
boss. Occasionally, it will release a rotating electric beam that damages
all around it. Aside from whipping characters will tentacles, it can also
release a short electric burst around its body, damaging characters around
it continuously. Just watch your allies' HP and take care of the healing
round the clock.
You can chat with your team mates afterwards.

After the scene, the party members that left in the last chapter will
rejoin the party. The new location, Catheirn 16 will now be available. For
now, head back to the Dolphin Song. Talk to the female apprentice. She'll
request for some Sweet Chips. It is located in one of the blue chests in
the next dungeon. You'll receive Arlus's PJs. There will also be some new
items available in the shop. To save money, try to forge your equipment
instead of buying. Just gather the necessary materials by revisiting the
dungeons you have cleared before. Make sure to power up your skills as

This battle is tough. Millisar can deal continuous damage to your allies
using a dark breath (similar to Ifrit Breath) and a dark version of Storm
Drive. Your best bet is by keep on healing your allies. Keep their HP above
80% at all times to avoid getting knocked out. Millisar's melee attacks
are nothing if your characters' avoid and defense ratings are boosted by
good equipment and skills. Just avoid standing too near your allies to
prevent getting critically damaged by his attacks.
Watch more scenes and the chapter ends.

is pretty aggressive so always watch everybody's HP. Its main attack is a
rushing charge that damages everything in its path. Try to cast some
ultimate skills here since it's the most effective way of inflicting solid

After the scene, Krestae Ruins will now be available. Head back to the
Dolphin Song and talk to one of the "crazy hot store clerks". She'll ask
for 5 rubies. These rubies can be collected from crates and urns in the new
dungeon. You'll get 2 Curry Soup(s) in return. Talk to the Saffron (female
apprentice summoner) this time and she'll ask you to find her partner,
Caraway in the Hadrian Desert. Check your skills and equipment, then head

Meet Agnea. You'll need to defeat her afterwards.
Agnea's attacks are accurate and deadly. You should watch out for her
smash attack that will damage everybody around her. She can use a more
powerful Marsh Trap and Flame Burst. Avoid sticking so close together and
make sure to clear out of the trap's field once it is activated.
Controlling Reiha will be your best bet here. Remember that even if you're
out of the Marsh Trap, there will always be chances that your character
will be poisoned as well. Cure it by using Restore, then heal. You'll need
to heal often here so it will be good idea to keep your SP up by
recharging during intervals.

in your command palette; you'll need this on next battle.
- Area 11 -
You'll need to battle Phicra. She isn't that tough but you'll still need to
look out for her attacks. She has attacks like Millisar, especially the Storm Drive. There will always be
chances that her attacks can inflict Skill Seal so immediately use Ener-Z
while using Reiha to cure your ailment, then use Restore your allies'
condition and HP. Her melee attacks are quite damaging so make sure to keep
your allies' HP above 60% at least. This battle shouldn't take a while.
Party chat. Your main character will receive different items from your
allies. Also, there's a large amount of Support points that will be
rewarded to the ally that you talk to during this sequence. The active
character you used will still receive an ample amount of points even if
you didn't talked to her/ him.
Chapter ends after the chat with your selected ally.

You will continue from where you left off so be ready. There is a boss
battle ahead so be prepared. Watch the scenes and you'll need to battle
Ghardib isn't that hard compared to Phicra. His attacks are solid and
damaging so you'll be busy healing your characters. Try to buff them in
short intervals and use some high level spells to damage him when you have
the chance. At this point, you should already have some of the best
equipment you can get. Keep the battle away from your healer or better yet,
take control of her.
After the battle, there will be more scenes. Another boss battle will
This boss is rather large so it's easy to land hits on it. However, due to
its size, it will be hard to keep your party in range for Heal Supreme.
What's worse is that your HP and SP from the last battle will be the same
in this fight. Make sure to recharge your SP during the first moments of
the battle and buff/ heal your characters. This battle won't last that
long; just keep on attacking it and the battle will end automatically.
More scenes will take place. The final battle will follow.
There will be five heads that you'll need to battle. Concentrate on either
two first. Use Aldo's ultimate skills to deal damage while your allies
dish out the attacks on their own. If ever Reiha's SP has been depleted,
quickly switch to her, find a safe place and recharge. A claw will
occasionally appear from the ground but if your evasion is high, it won't
hit you that often. After eliminating the two, switch to the other side
and repeat.
Once all the other 4 heads are defeated, you can now concentrate on the
central head. It will release a powerful beam so don't attack it up front.
Heal and recharge between intervals and switch between your main characters
as you see fit.
After defeating it, watch more scenes in between the credits.
You'll be asked to save your game. After that, switch over to the next map
to reveal Tornis Caverns. There will also be some new equipment and items
from the Dolphin Song as well. Check it out.

The only thing to look out for when facing this boss is its charge that
deals critical damage to anyone unlucky enough to stay on its path. I
suggest attacking it from the sides or rear. It has some moves that will
leave it open for attacks. Avoid using Sky (Divine Rain) elemental attacks
as it absorbs it. Other elements such as Earth/Geo spells does decent
damage per spell on this boss.

Like the last bosses, this boss is not really that hard. Its attacks can
be endured without healing immediately. You can also use Sky elemental
attacks since they seems to work well against this boss. It does have a
melee attack that deals a series of damage so watch out for that. Other
than that, this boss isn't really that much of a threat.

Don't use sky elements here. Use fire attacks instead. This boss' melee
attack is solid but not that dangerous. You can actually endure a few hits

At this point, your level should be sufficient enough to withstand the
boss' rapid shot attacks. Buff and heal your characters by placing Reiha
to the sides or rear. No special tactics needed for this boss; just fight
like you normally do.
This area has bosses in almost each floor. Save and recharge often before
heading to the next area. Remember that if you leave this dungeon, all
enemies will be reset so you'll need to fight them again, just in case.
You can also revisit this dungeon as many times as you like.
- Area 1 -
Empty Space
- Area 2 -
This boss will have two underlings working for it. Use elemental attacks
against them, preferably ice or sky based attacks. You can prevent the main
beetle from charging through your party by continuously attacking it.
Combos and spells work wonders in keeping it at bay.
- Area 3 -
Use aqua spells against these guys and about getting mobbed in the middle.
Your ultimate skills will save you a lot of trouble here so make sure to
abuse them. Watch out for their fire breath attacks. It deals critical and
continuous damage per hit. Heal as often as you like and avoid sticking too
close to each other. Use water based attacks to deal more damage.
- Area 4 -
Again, getting trapped in the middle of these bugs is not a good idea.
Cast wind elemental spells to kill the lesser minions. Once the main bug
is alone, use fire-based attacks to deal the most damage. They only have
two attacks; the poison gas or rolling to your characters to damage them.
You can stop them from doing this by attacking continuously through combos
and such.
- Area 5 -
This boss releases Yodomis and can inflict poison when attacking your
characters. Use wind attacks to eliminate the Yodomi and deal heavy damage
to the main boss.
When trying to target an enemy, I suggest targeting the main boss itself
since the yodomis are easy to kill. Don't let them grow in numbers though
or you'll be in big trouble. Obtain Ninjitsugi.
- Area 6 -
Just like the previous boss you fought before, this boss can deal electric
damage to anybody caught in its sudden surge. It will also release a beam
rotating around it which can deal heavy damage. Use geo-based attacks
against these bosses. Get Vigor Band.
- Area 7 -
Just like before, avoid getting caught in the middle of these oversized
tortoises. Use sky-based attacks to deal heavy damage to these enemies.
- Area 8 -
This battle could be a tough one. This boss can deal continuous damage to
everyone in front of it. Control Reiha and take care of the healing. Avoid
letting your allies' HP go below 60% since this boss can repeat the attacks
over and over again. Furthermore, this boss will immediately position
itself in the topmost part of the battlefield to avoid being flanked.
Avoid using wind attacks since it absorbs them. Use fire attacks instead.
- Area 9 -
This is the last battle in this area. This boss is the same as the one on
Mt. Eurinoch. It will burrow underground and attack your characters so
avoid staying still in one place. It is also untargetable and invincible
while in this mode. So far, aqua is the only one dealing the most damage
out of all enemies so use that often. Its attacks won't hit you often but
it does deal critical damage.
That's it for the EX dungeons.

There should be no correlation between the parts being replaced and the engine now consuming oil. It should be just coincidental. Do any of the cylinders misfire due to a spark plug being oil fouled. Perhaps a cylinder leakage test is needed to see which cylinders have high piston ring leakage. Do you see blue smoke out the rear exhaust pipe as you accelerate or after the engine has idled for 5 minutes and then is accelerated?
Further info - low oil light came on next day after picked up from shop - took it back - said the oil plug was cracked and leaking oil - said put oil in and new plug; next day while sitting in parking lot I started car and white smoke filled the lot then went away - a neighbor says he can see some smoke out the exhaust after car is sitting for awhile. Engine runs great - had a compression check done but all cylinders good, No misfires - PVC OK. Coincidental? Ran without oil? Any catalytic issues (wrong kind - installed wrong - damaged)?

The ticker with the live names is still there--it's just way at the top and starts out blank when the page first loads. There's also a huge amount of white space between the word "nameberry" and the ticker, which feels a bit weird. And I kinda dislike the colors in the cloud. A bit too muted, if you ask me.
I'm on a macbook pro and everything's loading fine. So far the only glitch I'm encountering is that I can't "reply with quote"-- it tells me I'm not logged in and then when I log in it tells me my username is invalid.g w e n

This review is from: SD SDHC SDXC to ATA Flash Memory PCMCIA PC Card Adapter Reader for Card SDHC 4GB to 32GB above, SDXC 48GB above. SD 8MB~2GB- Best Mark
Pros: push push card insert and remove works great.
Resealable clamshell packaging is nice.
Cons: BIG PROBLEM, SD card cannot be read once removed from the reader.
Other Thoughts: If I format a 512Mb card (I tried FAT and FAT32) in another reader I can read and write to the card, etc (it works as expected). If I then put it into the PCMCIA reader it cannot be read. If I then format the SD card while it is in the PCMCIA reader. It works as long as I don't remove it from the reader. If I then remove it from the PCMCIA reader, other systems claim that its an unknown format. I am guessing a firmware issue?? Tried two times to reach seller to RMA with no response for first try and no response yet for the second.
I guess if you just needed a PCMCIA card with a lot of memory, just get a 32Gb SDHC card and glue it in, just don't expect to ever be able to remove it and actually read in some other reader.
Update: tried repeatedly to return the product during the first two weeks, I was ignored. Now I have another worthless piece of junk laying around that I cant use.
Update: The seller contacted me out of the blue (not because of the return request) to ask me if I was satisfied with my purchase. I told them my story and they then initiated the RMA process with a full refund (minus return shipping of course). I bumped them up an egg for making it right (eventually). Its been about six weeks now since the purchase. I still would not use this product for SD, I don't know about the other standards it supports such as SDHC which it is also supposed to be compatible with. Another user did not report trouble with the higher capacity cards.
This review is from: Wintec 512MB Compact Flash (CF) Card Industrial Grade SLC Nand Black Model 33100512MCF
Pros: fast and works perfectly for our application of copying CNC programs from the PC to the machines.
Cons: its not free?
Other Thoughts: I use a Transcend PCMCIA to CF adapter to put the card in the machines, they have no problem reading them. They are formatted FAT. There are cheaper ones out there in similar capacity but they are "cheaper". I trust wintec, we use their memory in our servers as well and never had an issue. I test each one before putting it in service and no problems.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Nokia Lumia 928 RM-860 32GB 4G LTE White 32GB Verizon/Unlocked GSM Windows Phone 4.5" 1GB RAM
Pros: Windows phone 8 and works with Verizon. Unlocked GSM phone. Only unlocked Verizon branded windows 8 phone on Newegg that I could find.
Cons: not like other GSM Lumia - cannot add a memory card (the 32Gb is built in). Its about the same weight as an apple iPhone 6 (heavier than the GSM only phones, like the 640 and 640XL). Screen goes to the edge of the device (looks like it could be damaged easily). Only has a 2Ah battery - you are only going to get an average days use out of it.
Other Thoughts: I bought a Verizon sim and I had to put it into an apple iPhone to activate it. I was then able to move the sim to this phone and it worked. The support guy kept saying that the sim was incompatible with the phone, but it worked anyway - I will have to investigate that further. Despite what some others say, your phone will probably not work with Verizon unless its Verizon branded like this one. I tried a Microsoft 640XL (GSM only) and it would not work.READ FULL REVIEW

I felt privileged to spend a few days at La Paloma Guest House near Ceiba, Puerto Rico this week. Nilda, the owner, was a welcoming and attentive hostess. I was traveling alone, and I felt like she adopted me for the week. On the first night, she took me to a stone ritual circle on the hill behind the house, where we watched the rising moon and took in the incredible view of the rain forest. I learned about the Taino culture, Puerto Rico in general and the rain forest just to name a few of the many topics Nilda was willing to share about. The coquis sang me to sleep every night and it could not have been more relaxing. The family was terrific, respectful of space, yet always seemed to be right there when you needed them - sometimes a difficult balance for some B&B owners find.
This place is rustic, just want I wanted, but be aware of that if it's not for you. For $65 a night I got breakfast, a couple of dinners even, the view and a some new friends. I strongly encourage you to get yourself to La Paloma is you are visiting Puerto Rico and want to get away from the hustle and bustle of San Juan.

If you are looking to borrow a small sum of money but without incurring eye watering repayment fees, there may be an option out there for you. Many high street or loan pay day firms charge up to 2000% interest. Then there are loan sharks or door to door lenders that are of course illegal and may resort to nefarious means if you are unable to meet their exorbitant repayments.
However, in 2010, the Governments launched the 'My Home Finance' scheme as a social enterprise. Social enterprises are trading organizations that have a clear social or environmental purpose. They can be large and international but are usually small, community based enterprises. Any profits are ploughed back into the social enterprise in order to further and develop the social mission.
In conjunction with the National Housing Federation, a number of housing associations, the Wates Foundation and the Royal Bank of Scotland, the My Home Finance scheme launched with 10 initial branches across the West Midlands. The area was selected and piloted based on the National Housing Federation research and evidence that the West Midlands is an area that is in particular need of affordable credit.
The scheme is aimed at potential borrowers with a poor credit history, on benefits or on a low income. The typical APR is 29.9% which compares favourably to the rates offered by high street banks and building societies. Loans are usually repayable over 12 months, but the repayment period can be reduced or extended if required. Up to £1,000 is available. Not a huge amount, but a potential lifeline for those who would otherwise be unable to obtain any credit. They can be used for consolidating existing payday loans – with their extortionate interest rates – those times when your washing machine has unexpectedly broken down, or needing to buy new school uniforms due to unexpected growth spurts, it's up to you.
With up to 2.5 million people borrowing from doorstep lenders and an estimated 200,000 resorting to loan sharks, the My Home Finance scheme is aimed at people who have been previously turned away by high street lenders. The 10 branches are open during normal working hours and located in shopping centres and high streets. Individual circumstances will be taken into account, rather than a blanket 'computer says no' policy.
The scheme aims to offer 150,000 loans to people on lower incomes over the next ten years, rolled out across the UK if the West Midlands pilot is a success. As well as the cheaper loans available, the My Home Finance scheme provides opportunities to save and offers money advice. They also provide bank accounts to customers who do not have one in conjunction with the Royal Bank of Scotland. Check to find out if the My Home Finance scheme is available in your local area.
