Editing by Chris Kohler
1. Tycoon Castle, Death Valley, and West Valley (Party's Level: 31)
After the dance party in Tycoon, leave the Tycoon castle and head to the
Pirate's Hideout. Boko will once again join your party. Ride the chocobo
north from Tycoon castle and you fight Antolion at the West Valley. Faris
joins here.
2. Ghido's Dwelling, and Ancient Library
Exdeath returns here. After Exdeath leaves, head to the Ancient Library.
When you arrive at the Ancient Library, make sure to get the "Maryoku no
Uta" (Song of Magics) at top of the Library. Then get the "Fuuin no Sho"
(Concealed Book). Once you got the book, head to the Pyramid.
3. Pyramid (Party's Level: 32)
Treasures: Noroi no Yubiwa (Cursed Ring), Ice Shield, Flame Shield, Dark
Matter x 7, Shiro no Robe (White Robe), Kuro no Robe (Black Robe), Elixer x
4, Ibara no Kanmuri (Thornlet), Kuro Shouzoku (Ninja Gear), Crystal Mail,
9000 giru, 8000 giru, Daichi no Hammer (Hammer of Earth), 10000 giru,
Cottage, Ribbon, Mamori no Yubiwa (Protection Ring), Kin no Kamikazari
(Golden Hairpin), 12000 giru
On the fourth floor, you'll encounter many "Machine Head"s. Since you can
not run away from them, you have to defeat it everytime you encounter one.
Stats for "Machine Head" is: Lv. 37, HP 7210, weakness: Water and Thunder.
Use Sword Magic Lit3 to kill them. At the top of the Pyramid you'll find
the first "Sekiban" (Stone Tablet). Also, Bahamut shows up and he flies to
the North Mountain.
((Chris' note: There are so many treasures here, try this: don't collect any until you beat the pyramid and get Lenna back. Then, go back and get the treasure.))
4. Elderly Tree
On the way back from Pyramid (at the Elderly Tree) to the Library, you'll
meet with Exdeath. Exdeath sucks Ancient Library into "mu" (Nothingness) and
Meryujiinu appears. After the fight with Meryujiinu, Lenna joins your party.
Boss of the Elderly Tree: Meryujiinu. Lv 29-33, HP 20000
Note: Meryujiinu does barrier change and her weakness can be one of Fire,
Ice, or Thunder.
Normal way to beat Meryujiinu
Before you fight, make one character that can use Peep or Scan to
see her weakness. Then hit her weakness.
Quick and dirty way to beat Meryujiinu
Since Meryuujiinu's barrier change changes her weakness to one of Fire, Ice,
or Thunder, attack with magics other than those (i.e. "Aeroga", "Bio",
etc..). Use Sword Magic "Mute" to stop her magics.
5. Getting Airship
Once you beat Meryujiinu, head to east coast to get the airship. (You saw
it from top of the Pyramid, right?) Ride the airship and some towns &
castles will be sucked into the "mu" (Nothingness).
6. Pirate's Base revisited
Once you have Lenna and Faris in your party, you can obtain Summoned Beast "Syldra" here.
7. Concealed Castle of Koozer (Party's Level: 34)
Place the first "sekiban" (Stone Tablet) at central table at basement of
Koozer castle. You can choose any THREE weapons for your use. Choose wisely.
Here are the locations of the weapons in Koozer
(Clockwise from Top)
1. Excalibur : Attribute of Holy power.
2. Assasin Dagger : Randomly kills target upon attacking.
3. Sasuke no Katana (Sasuke's Katana) : Has evade rate.
4. Holy Lance : Attribute of Holy power.
5. Rune Ax : Use MP to do critical hits.
6. Masamune : Always attack first in battle.
7. Yoichi no Yumi (Bow & Arrow of Yoichi) : No special ability.
8. Fire Byuuto : Randomly casts "Faiga" (Fire 3) against target.
9. Kenja no Tsue (Wise One's Cane) : Increases damage of "Holy"
10. Wizard Rod : Has every attribute, and increases magic's damage.
11. Apollon no Harp (Apollon's Harp) : Critical hits against dragons.
12. Daichi no Bell (Bell of the earth) : Randomly casts "quake".
Nasty enemies of Koozer Castle
* ExdeathSoul Lv.1, HP 20000, weakness: Holy power
This is an armor that has soul of Exdeath concealed into it. Since his
attacks are strong (Death, Degeon, Shinigami no Ken (Death God's
Sword), etc..) I recommend you run. No exp.
* Shield Dragon Lv. 29, HP 19999
Since he is already in the "reflec" status, your magics will be
reflected. I recommend "ayatsuru" (Control) the Shield Dragon and using
"Honoo" (Flame) against itself. It will inflict 4999 damage.
8. Town of Cresent and Town of Illusion
Gather information about town of Illusion at Cresent. Then head to the town
of Illusion by encountering at forest south-west of cresent. Gather
information, buy equipments, and buy the level 6 magics. You can find the
last "piano" here. Also, Black Chocobo is here, but not needed at this time
(since you have airship).
((Chris' note: You must dig around and find the secret doors to get to the level 6 magics.))
9. Shrine of Solitary Island
Treasures: 12000 giru, Elixer, 9000 giru, Rising Sun, Beast Killer, Etel
(Ether) x 2, Ryuu no Kiba (Dragon Fang), Dark Matter, Circlet, Mamori no
Yubiwa (Protoction Ring) Crystal Helm
You have to move around through the air duct in this dungeon. Flip the right
switch down to get Elixer, return to the switch room, flip the left switch
down to get 9000 giru, and flip the right switch UP to proceed. You can
steal "Eibis Killer" from "ToteEibis" ( Large bird looking enemy) which
always results critical hits against Eibis enemies. I also recommend having
"Otoshiana Kaihi" (Avoid Snare) ability here. At the very end, you'll fight
Boss of the Shrine of Solitary Island: Stalker. Lv. 7, HP 20000
Splits up into four segments. Only one of them is the true Stalker. If you
use magics to all four segments, he'll revenge with "Blaze".
Normal way to beat this boss:
Use "Midareuchi" to inflict damages. If you like gambling,
you may want to try using "Tameru" (Charge) on one target.
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Make all members in the party that can use distant attacks. (i.e. Magics,
Jump, Arrow, etc..) Then let each member of the party attack one unique
((Chris' note: I gamble. I attack until I hit the right guy, and then open up with magic until it changes.))
10. Concealed Castle of Koozer (Party's Level: 35)
Obtain additional three legendary weapons.
11. Fork Tower
Treasures: Etel (Ether), HiPotion, Wonder Wand, Defender
You have to divide your party into two in this tower. One party goes up the
"Tower of Magics" and other goes up the "Tower of Power". Note that only
magics are allowed in "Tower of Magics" and only physical attacks are
allowed in "Tower of Power". Also, you have to fight two bosses
successively, so you cannot change the equipments around between the boss
battles. After you beat one of the boss, quickly take the other. Otherwise,
the tower will explode.
Boss of the "Tower of Power": Minotaur. Lv. 37, HP 19850
Normal way to beat this boss:
When the battle begun, the "mute" magic is already in effect. Thus no magics
can be used (including Mahouken). Heal your character with "HiPotion".
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Just put Monk with "Mamoru" (Guard) ability and guard until Minotaur dies.
Since "Mamoru" makes all physical attacks zero Monk won't get any damages,
and Monk's "Counter" ability would counter-attack Minotaur's attack. This
ensures your victory even with one character.
((Chris' note: Use Coin Toss.))
Boss of the "Tower of Magics": Subete wo Shirumono. Lv. 53, HP 16999,
weakness: Wind
Normal way to beat this boss:
Note that if you do any physical attacks against "Subete wo Shirumono", he
will cast "return" and resets the battle to beginning. (Very good way to
recover your party if you get beated badly though) Since this will be magic
battles, use "Earoga" (Aero2) against him.
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Cast "Baasaku" (Bersk) to him first. Then he can't use his magics anymore.
Then use "Golem" to guard his attacks. He can't even cast the last Flare due
to berserked status.
((Chris' note: The quick way gets me killed. This way's MUCH better:
Cast Reflect to your party AND him. That way, HIS attack spells will bounce off YOU and hit HIM, HIS cure spells bounce off of HIM and hit YOU, YOU can bounce attacks off YOU and hit HIM, and YOUR cures can bounce off HIM and hit YOU. (if that's confusing, just remember that all cures will hit you and all attacks will hit him.) You should never be damaged if you keep Reflect up all the time on both sides. Also, his final Flare will kill himself.))
12. Airship Modification
Enter "Catapult" that was under the Fork Tower. Cid will modify your
airship... and your new airship can transform into submarine as well.
13. The Great Deep (Party's level: 36)
Treasures: Suiton no Jutsu, Honoo no Yubiwa (Flame Ring), Ryuu no Kiba
(Dragon Fang), Etel (Ether), Fenix Down, Kaizer Knuckle
Go through the Dwarf Kingdom and head to the very bottom floor. After the
battle with boss, you'll get the third "sekiban" (Stone Tablet) and
strongest Jikuu magic, Meteo.
Some notes about this dungeon:
* Most of the monsters in this dungeon are undeads, so I recommend using
"requiem". It costs no MP, but inflict alot of damage.
* On the B4F, do not push the second switch. It will remove the bridge
and you have to go around the magma.
* On the B4F with five switches, push the one on upper left. This will
make a bridge to the treasure box. Other four leads to the magma pond.
* On the B8F, push three switches on the lower half of the floor to get
access to the boss's room. Other one will open the door to Kaiser
Bosses of the Great Deep
* Toraiton (Red). Lv. 37, HP 13333, Weakness: Ice, Kearu
* Neregeid (Blue). Lv. 20, HP 13333, Weakness: Fire, Kearu
* Phorbos (Green). Lv. 39, HP 13333, Weakness: Earth
Normal way to beat these bosses:
Toraiton will absorb fire, Neregeid will absorb ice, and Phorbos will absorb
poison magics. Thus, you can attack them with magics that have attribute
other than the above one. Lit3, "Syldra"'s ThunderStorm, and "Titan"
would work. If you get hit by "Delta Attack", heal with "Kin no Hari"
(Golden Needle).
Quick and dirty way to beat these bosses:
Since two out of three are undead, use "requiem" with all members of the
party. (Need Bard's ability to Sing).
((Chris' note: This seems odd but it works EXTREMELY well.))
14. Concealed Castle of Koozer
Obtain additional 3 weapons. There should be only three weapons left when
you leave this place.
15. Basement of Bal Castle
Enter this place by climbing the wall at deadend in Dungeon of Jacole. Go up
to meet Odin, but make sure to unlock the door on bottom before you leave
this place.
Boss of Basement of Bal Castle: Odin. Lv. 2, HP 17000
Normal way to beat this boss:
You need to defeat Odin in 60 seconds... otherwise, his "Zantetsuken" (Iron
Cutting Sword) will kill your party. Try casting magics on him (Holy or
Flare would work), or throw Shurikens ("Nageru" (Throw) ability of Ninja
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Use "Mahouken Bureiku"... this will petrify Odin and only requires 2 turns.
If you have time, you might want to steal "Mamori no Yubiwa" (Protection
Ring) from Odin.
16. Pheonix Tower
Treasures: 5000 giru, 10000 giru, 15000 giru, 20000 giru, 25000 giru
You need to get Black Chocobo at Town of Illusion to reach this place.
(Airship cannot land on the desert nor forest) Land your Black Chocobo at
forest north-east from the Pheonix Tower (Tower you see in west from
Carwen). Once you are in the tower, search the wall in middle for the hidden
staircase. Each floor without staircase going up will have *two* staircase
leading to upper floor. One of the door has enemies in it, and other
doesn't. For the quick and dirty way to go through this tower, read the
following line. Otherwise, skip the following line.
Note: When you meet a monster named "Magic Pot", give him Elixer. When he
escapes, he will give you 100ABP (Ablitiy Point). Also if you happened to
have "Thief" in your party, try stealing the following items from enemies.
* Sherry (Dancer with Red Dress): You can steal "Rainbow Dress" and
occasionary can steal "Sango no Yubiwa" (Coral Ring).
* Komusabera (Snake Lady): You can steal "Akai Kutsu" (Red Shoes) and
occasionary can steal "Elf no Manto" (Elf's Cloak).
* Chamukyubia (Floating Lady with Red Dress): You can steal "Reflect
Ring" (You can sell it for money) and occasionary can steal "Rainbow
* Why do I need these items anyway!?
Rainbow Dress and Red Shoes can only be equipped by Odoriko (Dancer) [
Suppin too. Suppin can equip anything ] and these two items increases
the change of getting "Tsurugi no Mai" (Sword Dance) which quadruples
your sword attack. Very useful dance.
At the very top of the tower, you'll get Shoukanjuu (Summoned Beast)
17. North Mountain
North mountain is located north from the forest you landed your Black
Chocobo. So, why not go there now? At the peek of the north mountain,
Bahamut will fight you... and if you win, you'll get Shoukanjuu (Summoned
Beast) Bahamut.
Boss of North Mountain: Bahamut. Lv. 99, HP 40000
Use "slow" and "stop" toreduce Bahamut's attacking oppotunities, and attack Bahamut.
Quick and dirty way to kill Bahamut:
Make 4 Time&Space Mages and use Meteo.
18. Sunken Tower of Walse
Okay, how many of you remember that tower of Walse sunk in World One? It
sank, and it still exists underwater in World Three. You can enter this
tower by using your submarine. You'll enter from top of the tower and make
your way to bottom. However, since our hero cannot breath underwater, you
must return to the submarine before time runs out. At the very bottom of the
tower, you'll encounter Gogo. If you beat Gogo, you'll get the last piece of
the Crystal and the last job of Mimic.
Boss of Sunken Tower of Walse: Gogo. Lv. ??, HP ????
When you attack him, he will revenge your party with "Meteo", "Holy" and
"????". Listen carefully to what he say... "If you mimic me, you can win."
So do whatever he does, and if he doesn't do anything, don't do anything.
19. Istory Falls (Party's Level: 36)
Treasures: Etel (Ether), Kame no Koura (Turtle Shell), AirKnife, Mamori no
Yubiwa (Protection Ring), Refect Ring, Enhance Sword, 12000 giru, Artemis no
Yumi (Bow of Artemis), Aegis Shield, Fuuma Shuriken, Kyojin no Ono (Ax of
Giants), Rune Blade, Kyojin no Kusuri (Giant's Medicine)
You have to enter this place from underwater cave. Look for a white spot on
your underwater map near Istory Falls.
* On B3F, you need ability "Dash" to get the treasure box behind the
running water.
* On B5F, you can go to lower floor by jumping down from the holes on
lower left. Open the hole by using the switch.
* Nasty monster of Istory Falls... Tonberi!
Tonberi's level is 46 and has 39393 points of HP. Also his special
attack "Houchou" (Cooking Knife : Ouch!) will randomly hit four times
for significant damage. If you think you can't kill him before he
approaches your party, run. But he will sometimes drop "Mirage Vest"
(This vest has effect of "blink" and can evade one physical attack per
battle with 100% evade rate).
Boss of Istory Falls: Leviathan. Lv. 39, HP 40000, weakness Thunder
He is weak against Thunder and has an attribute of water. So, Lit3 will work the best against Leviathan. If you were able to afford buy some "Sango no Yubiwa" (Coral Ring: Sold at Town of Illusion for 50,000 giru each), you can absorb any water attacks including Leviathan's Tidal Wave.
((Chris' note: Try Meteo.))
20. Concealed Castle of Koozer
Get the last three weapons.
21. Miscellaneous things you can do before going to final dungeon
All of these are optional, and if you wish, you can skip this section
1. Obtaining "Mighty Guard" (AoMahou : Blue Magic)
To learn Mighty Guard, head your airship and land it on water near
sunken tower of Walse. Occasionary, you will encounter an enemy named
"StingRay" (Looks like blue ray). He only does normal attackes, but
when you "Ayatsuru" (Control) him, and you will be able to use Mighty
Guard. Make sure you have at least one AoMadoushi (BlueMage) or ability
"learning" and beat this ray to learn it. He's HP is 30000. (Lv. 93)
StingRay will also drop "Ryuu no Hige" (Beard of Dragon), the strongest
whip, occasionaly.
2. Learn the "Eiyuu no Uta" (Hero's Song)
If you played all of the piano around the world, you can become
PianoMaster. By obtaining this status, bard in Cresent will present you
with "Eiyuu no Uta" which will raise your levels during battle (only
during the battle, of course).
3. How brave were you? Chicken Knife or Brave Sword
If you go to the town of Muah, the locked door is now open. At the very
end, you can choose either Chicken Knife or Brave Sword. Chicken Knife
has strange property of running away even if you choose "fight", and
Brave Sword has high initial attack power, but decreases everytime you
run. (Chicken Knife's opposite. Attack power increases when you run...
but only before you get it) So, evaluate your braveness here. : )
4. How am I doing so far?? Monoshiri Jiisan's place.
Head your airship to Karnak and dive in the bay south of Karnak. When
you look around, you'll find one cave on right side of the bay. Enter
there and old man will tell your progress up to this point. He will
tell you:
1. Number of Fights:
2. Number of Monsters Slayed:
3. Average EXP:
4. Treasure Box Collection Rate:
5. Number of Times You Saved the Game:
5. Meet the Moai from Easter Island!
Head your airship above the sunken tower of Walse (don't land your
airship here). Then head directly north and dive as soon as you reach
the ocean. Continue your way up north and you'll meet small Moai on the
sea floor. This has nothing to do with the game.
22. Cleft of Dimention (Party's Level: 37)
The entrance to Cleft of Dimention is the hole where it used to be Tycoon.
Fly over the hole to get into the Cleft of Dimention. Since this dungeon is
long, I will seperate the walkthrough into following sections: The Ruins,
The Forest, The Dungeon, The Towers, The Castle, and The Final Floors.
Cleft of Dimention: The Ruins
Treasures: Etel (Ether), Cottage, Elixer x 2, Dark Matter, Blood Sword
There is nothing special here. You can climb to upper floor by hanging onto
the moving chains. A monster called "Baldandells" (Looks like circle with
skull on it) sometimes drops "Rune no Bell" (Bell of Rune) the strongest
bell of all. (It does critical hit using MP and has all attributes) Once you
are in the town, head to the exit.
Cleft of Dimention: The Forest
Treasures: Ryuu no Kiba (Dragon Fang), Riris no Rod (Rod of Riris), Enhance
Nothing special about this place except that there is a boss in this forest.
Boss of CoD Forest: Karophysteli. Lv. 68, HP 18000
Normal way to beat this boss:
When she uses Reflect, nullify it with "Dispel". Then use "Mute" to
stop her from using the magics. Since she doesn't have any weaknesses nor
attributes, any attack would work.
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Sword Magic and Summoned Beast does not get reflect by reflect
magic. So, use Sword Magic Mute to stop her magic and use Summoned Beast to attack her.
Cleft of Dimention: The Dungeon
Treasures: Honoo no Yubiwa (Flame Ring), Tenshi no Yubiwa (Angel Ring)
You can enter the left most waterfall on upper level (the level you start
with). Just after the save point, you will see "Omega" wondering. If you
wish to try your strength, fight it. If you don't want to waste time, you
can ignore it. For those of you who wished to fight, here is the stats. If
you went past Omega's place, check the book on the table to fight the boss.
Omega: Lv 119, HP 55530, MP 60700, Attack Power 115, Defence Power 190,
Agility 76, Evade Rate 95%, Magic Defence 150, Attribute: Water, Wind,
Earth, Holy Power, Poison, Ice, and Fire.
* Omega: Lv. 119, HP 55530
Omega has one weakness... that is Thunder. But casting Lit3 to
Omega won't work that well. The secret to beating him is
"Nitouryuu-Midareuchi-Mahouken-Sandaga". This ability combination
allows you to attack 8 times with Mahouken Sandaga. However, this
requires you to master Ninja (for Nitouryuu) and Karyuudo (Archer : for
Midareuchi), and also have Mahouken Lv 5. (for Mahouken Sandaga). I
recommend having three characters with these abilities. Once you got
those abilities, follow the following procedures:
1. Make three Suppin with Midareuchi and Mahouken as their abilities.
Make fourth person Monomaneshi (Mimic) with Jikuu (Time & Space
Magic (Lv. 5+) and Shiromahou (White Magic)(Lv. 5+).
2. Equip everyone with armors that will increase their agility. (i.e.
Kuroshouzoku) Also equip everyone with "Honoo no Yubiwa" (Flame
Ring). Flame ring will absorb some of Omega's attacks.
3. Encounter Omega. (Easiest step!)
4. Let three suppins cast Mahouken Sandaga while Monomaneshi cast Haste2.
5. On the next turn, let every suppin attack with Midareuchi. Let
Monomaneshi cast "Kearuga" (Cure3) to party.
6. Repeat the above step until you beat Omega.
After the battle, you will get "Omega no Kunshou" (Decoration of Omega)
which says: "Your wisdom, courage, and power have beaten the ancient
Boss of CoD Dungeon: Apanda. Lv 59, HP 22200, weakness: Fire
(No, it's not A Panda... it's Apanda)
Normal way to beat this boss:
Basic strategy is same as Biblos of Ancient Library. You can use Fire
magics. But make sure not to use Ifrit, since he will heal himself with
"Chiryou" (Cure).
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Just cast "Baasaku" (Bersk) to Apanda and guard his attacks with "Golem".
But make sure not to use Ifrit, because he will heal the berserked status.
Cleft of Dimention: The Towers
The roads are invisible, but you can see them with Thief's "Kakushi Tsuuro"
(Hidden Route) ability. No bosses in this section, but enemies of this
section can be tough. Read the following hints to help yourself.
1. Ninja has high evade rate (70%). You can use BlueMagic
"Goblin Punch" to inflict damages. Goblin Punch uses no MP, but can hit
for about 3500+ points of damage.
2. You can rarely steal "Artemis no Yumi" (Bow of Artemis) from Dragon
Eibis (Looks like flying dragon). Also, if you have "Eibis Killer" (Bow
you could've have stolen at Shrine of Solitary Island), you might want
to use it.
Cleft of Dimention: The Castle
Treasures: Tooru no Hammer (Thor's Hammer), Erumesu no Kutsu (Hermes's
Shoes), ManEater, Akai Kutsu (Red Shoes), Rainbow Dress
Once you enter the main entrance, head straight and go DOWN the staircase
and go left. There, you'll fight Apocaryopus, and after the battle, save
point will open. Once you have saved the game, explore both wings of the
castle (Right wing has Thor's Hammer and left wing has Hermes's Shoes). Once
you got most of the treasures, walk right from the save point, and fight
Catastrophe. (You can fight Arute Roite if you want to get Rainbow Dress and
Red Shoes, (One in the jail) but I'm sure you stole these at Pheonix Tower,
right?) Once you beat Catastrophe, go up the stairs until you reach outside.
Make sure to get ManEater at end of the left staircase. Then enter the
central door and you'll fight Harikarunassosu when you try to go up the
staircase. After you beat Harikarunassosu, go up the staircase and face up
at the top of the castle. You will fight Twin Tania here. Once you beat Twin
Tania, you can followed the staircase up, and you'll warp to the last floor.
One Note: On the staircase to the warp point, enemy called "Youjinbou"
(Looks like samurai) will show up. Rarely, you can steal "Ame no Murakumo",
the strongest Katana [stronger than Excalibur!].
Bosses of CoD Castle:
1. Apocaryopus. Lv. 57, HP 27900, Weakness: Poison
He uses most of AoMahou (BlueMagic) and he also can "learn" your
Normal way to beat this boss:
Since his weakness is poison, Mahouken Bio can inflict 7000+ points of
damage. Keep attacking, and there shoudn't be no problem.
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Steal his "Kyojin no Kote" (Giant's Glove) first. Then let one of your
member use "Jibaku" (Exploder) to Apocaryopus. He will learn it, and if
you are in luck, Apocaryopus will scarifice himself. (One of your
member WILL die) If this didn't work, just follow the normal way.
2. Arute Roite/Jura Eibis: Lv. 58 - 61, HP 6000 - 15000
He will transform into Jura Eibis after some amount of damage.
Normal way to beat this enemy:
When he is in Arute Roite's shape, Sword Magic Flare works. When you
get hit by "circle" (Erases one of your character for that battle) use
"return" to reset the battle. When he transforms, Fire, Ice, and
Thunder magics will not work. Use "Bio" to attack then.
Quick and dirty way to beat this enemy:
"Quarter" works against Arute Roite. When he transforms into Jura
Eibis, use Odin.
3. Catastrophe: Lv. 71, HP 19997
Normal way to beat this boss:
There is no attribute or weakness so any attack would work. He uses
"EarthShaker" and if you use "leviteto", he nullifies it with "Juuryoku
100" (Gravity 100). Cure "Akuma no Hitomi" (Devil's Eye) with "Kin no
Hari" (Golden Needle).
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
When you use "leviteto", Catastrophe will use "juuryoku 100". So, if
you make one character into "leviteto" chanting character, Catastrophe
can't do anything but "juuryoku 100"....
4. Harikarunassosu: Lv. 97, HP 33333
Normal way to beat this boss:
If you get hit by "Kururururu!" cure him/her with "Otome no Kiss"
(Lady's Kiss : Cure's Toad). Heal the character that got hit by "Holy"
or "Power shuuchuu" (Power Concentration) with "Life". Since she has
no attribute nor weakness, any attack would work.
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Use Sword Magic Mute to stop her magics, and use "Minimum" to stop her
"Power Shuuchuu". Then cast "Baasaku" (Bersk) to stop her "Kururururu!"
5. Twin Tania: Lv. 39, HP 50000, weakness: Holy power, water
After he "power up", he will use "Giga Flare", a flare rumored to be
stronger than Bahamut's "Mega Flare".
Normal way to beat this boss:
Twin Tania's weakness is water and holy power. So use Mahouken Holy and
Rivaiathan to attack. Use "shell" to guard your party against his "Giga
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Twin Tania's hidden weakness is when he does his power up. When the
message "Giga Flare no tameni power up!" (Powering up for GigaFlare)
shows up, use Odin. If you have time, you may want to steal "Kyojin no
Ono" (Ax of Giant) from him.
Cleft of Dimention: The Final Floors
Treasures: Fuuma Shuriken x 3, Ragnarok
Once you arrive at the first warp site, you'll encouter Gilgamesh. (Remember
that he was sent to Cleft of Dimention by Exdeath's Degeon??) After a while,
he will run once again.... When you have warped twice, you'll see a treasure
box on island like place (connected with staircase). That treasure box
contains Ragnarok, but it is heavily guarded. The monster that guards this
treasure box is called "Shinryuu" (God of Dragon) and he's stats are as
Shinryuu: Lv. 97, HP 55500, MP 51000, Attack Power 175, Defence Power 60,
Agility 87, Evade Rate 20%, Magic Defence 20, Attribute: Holy power. As his
initial attack, he will do Tidal Wave, which inflicts 6000+ points of
* Shinryuu: Lv. 97, HP 55500
Shinryuu is dragon afterall.... Thus, if you can get "Hiryuu no Yari",
this will always result critical hits. This is the key point in the
battle. Get 8 "Hiryuu no Yari" (Flying Dragon Lance). To do this
easily, optimize "return". Steal from Suishouryuu, and if you didn't
get what you wanted, cast "return" and try again. Once you got 8
"Hiryuu no Yari", you need to master Ninja (everyone). After you got
this done, follow the following procedures.
1. Make 4 suppin with "Jump" as their ability.
2. Equip everyone with 2 "Hiryuu no Yari" (No shields) and "Sango no
Yubiwa" (Coral Ring). Coral Ring will absorb Shinryuu's first
Tidal Wave.
3. As soon as the battle start, let everyone jump.
4. Put down the controller and wait until everyone comes down... and
Shinryuu should be dead by then.
After the battle, you will get "Ragnarok" (Sword) and "Ryuu no Monshou"
(Emblem of Dragon) which says: "This praises your honor of defeating
the strongest dragon".
If you go further into the last floor, you'll meet NecroPhobia. (Don't go
straight!! Exdeath is there!) After beating NecroPhobia and saved your game,
enter through the last warp zone to fight Exdeath. Around the save point,
you'll rarely encounter enemy called "Mover" (It come in triplets). If you
are able to defeat them, you will recieve 199ABP and 100000+ giru. Also, you
can occasionary steal "Hiryuu no Yari" (Flying Dragon Lance) fom
"Suishouryuu" (Crystal Dragon). Here's the stats for both of these enemies:
* Mover: Lv. 52, HP 10000, Attribute: Poison, Weakness: Fire
This comes in triplets.
* Suishouryuu: Lv 62, HP 17500, Attribute: Fire, Ice, Thunder, Wind
Bosses of CoD Final Floors:
1. Gilgamesh: Lv. ??, HP ????
Just make sure to steal "Genji no Kabuto" and attack normally. There
shouldn't be no problem.
2. NecroPhobia: Lv. 66, HP 44044
Normal way to beat this boss:
You must defeat all four segments of barrier before you can attack
NecroPhobia. Use "shell" to minimize the magic damages, and "Golem" to
guard against NecroPhobia's "Shinkuuha" (AirBlade).
Quick and dirty way to beat this boss:
Use same strategy for the barriers. Bahamut will also work well. Once
NecroPhobia is alone, use Odin. It will kill him with high rate.
It's not quick... but want to see the end of Gilgamesh!?
You MUST follow these steps to see the end of Gilgamesh. Kill the
barriers first. Then reduce NecroPhobia's HP to 5000 or so (by using
very weak magics, I guess), but do NOT kill NecroPhobia. Wait until
Gilgamesh shows up. After Gilgamesh shows up, make sure to steal the
last piece of Genji equipment, "Genji Armor".
The Final Battle with Exdeath
I don't have Exdeath's stats handy right now. I'll update this section once
I got the data.
Round One: Exdeath
Guard your party with "Mighty Guard" (Or use "shell" and "protesu" to
everyone) and "Golem", then cast "Heisuga" to speed up your party. Use strong magics (Flare, Holy, etc..) to attack him.
Round Two: NeoExdeath
There is four sections to NeoExdeath, and back two are considered to be on
back row, so all physical attacks can inflict half of the damage. Make sure
that you can heal your party with "Esuna" at any give time in the battle.
"Coin Toss" works pretty well if you have a lot of giru.
The Ending....
Put down your controller and enjoy!
The multiple endings of Final Fantasy Vj
FF5j has sort of multiple endings and it only depends on who was still
standing (not dead, zombied, or stoned) at the time you killed NeoExdeath.

they hid in the water (like moat of castle) with pipe in their mouth to
breath. There is also Doton (Do = tsuchi = earth), which is a
technique to hide underground. (Like under the leaves)]

Seto Naikai, and Heike was on the sea and Genji was on the shore (maybe
it was other way around). Since the sun began to fall, the one on the
sea thought to have entertainment. They let one woman with one pole
aboard the small boat (and this pole had Ougi (fan) at the tip). She
rowed the boat near the shore and asked someone on the shore to shoot
the fan. And I think Yoichi was nominated to do so, and he did it. I

PART 19: Very Very Secret Tricks
by Nora
Whoops! I forgot to include these in the last FAQ... -Chris
1: Legendary item called "Efu efu".
2: Casting single target magic (Like Protesu) to everyone.
1: How to get "efu efu".
Okay, first of all, "efu efu" is a bug item. It's not supposed to
exist, but it does. Anyway, you need two things to get this.
1. You need Jikuu Mahou [Time/Space Magic] "Quick".
2. You need Jikuu Mahou [Time/Space Magic] "Meteo".
You also need one person who can cast both of these. "Renzokuma" [Continuous
Magic] would be nice ability to have.
When you have all of above, encounter enemy. Then kill every one
else except the person casting "Quick" and "Meteo". If you
killed other three members, cast "Quick" then cast "Meteo" to
yourself. You must kill yourself with this "Meteo". Then,
after the battle, someone will have an item called "efu efu"
equipped. (On their right hand...I think) It doesn't
always happen so if you didn't get one, try again.
"Efu efu" makes all physical damages to zero. But you can't
equip any shield nor weapon. Once you remove this, this
item will be gone.
Now, for #2. This also has requirements.
1. You need one person who can do "Chougou" [Mixing].
2. You need one person who can do "Renzokuma" [Continuous Magic].
Okay, then you encounter enemy. Then do any "chougou" [Mixing] to anyone.
Now, you're all set. Choose single target magic as first magic for
"Renzokuma" [Continuous Magic]. (I'll use Raise as example) So, let's say
Lenna chose Raise as her first choice of "Renzokuma" [Continuous Magic] and
chose Butz as target. Then choose some magic that can be casted to multiple
target. Okay, so Lenna chooses Kearu and casts it to everyone in the party.
When it's Lenna's turn to use"Renzokuma" [Continuous Magic] you get Raise to
every one in your party!! This is especially useful during boss battles,
because you can cast "Shell" to everyone in single turn!! One note: Don't
cast Flare and Holy to multiple enemies. The game screen will go wild. (and
This also works with "Mahouken" [Magic Sword], I think. I'm not sure. I
think you can choose "Mahouken" [Magic Sword] during "Renzokuma" [Continous
And, miraculously, that is that! Until the next FAQ...

DeLaGarza had been linked with a potential national team switch to Guam in November. Meanwhile, Gonzalez made a total of 21 appearances over all competitions after battling back from offseason knee surgery. The 24-year-old central defender was at his best during LA's MLS Cup win over the Houston Dynamo as he became the first defender to be selected MLS Cup MVP.
Also called up is former LA Galaxy forward Edson Buddle, who was recently traded to the Colorado Rapids.

The Associated Press' move Thursday to add a new item to its stylebook, declaring that the terms "husband and wife" are acceptable for any legally recognized marriage—"regardless of sexual orientation"—was just one of the latest same-sex marriage-related announcements to grab headlines a month before the U.S. Supreme Court issues rulings on the hot-button issue.
Similar matters to make news this week include the following:
- The Associated Press reported that the Obama administration is considering urging the Supreme Court to overturn California's ban on gay marriage — a move that could have a far-reaching impact on same-sex couples across the country. The administration has one week to file a friend-of-the-court brief with the justices outlining its opinion on the California ban, known as Proposition 8. While an administration brief alone is unlikely to sway the high court, the government's opinion does carry weight with the justices.
- Lawyers for a lesbian Berkeley couple and a Burbank couple at the center of the Supreme Court fight filed a 54-page brief on Thursday challenging the constitutionality of Prop. 8. Lyle Denniston, who writes for the SCOTUS blog, called it a "bold attempt to portray the constitutional idea of marriage equality as a victim of homophobia, and to persuade the Court not to settle for a California-only decision."
- In San Francisco, city attorney Dennis Herrera filed his last brief in the U.S. Supreme court advocating for equal marriage rights for lesbian and gay couples. The 62-page pleading addresses whether the 2008 ballot measure that eliminated marriage rights for same-sex couples in California violates the U.S. Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, and whether the measure's proponents had legal standing to pursue their appeals through the federal courts.
Herrera's brief rebuts legal arguments in defense of Prop. 8's legitimacy, concluding that the measure's actual justification—"asserting the inferiority of same-sex couples"—was discriminatory and plainly unconstitutional when it was enacted. The two California couples at the center of the case are Kris Perry and Sandy Stier of Berkeley, and Paul Katami and Jeff Zarillo from Burbank.
"It is implausible that more opposite-sex couples will marry, and have children in wedlock, if same-sex couples cannot marry as well," Herrera's brief contends. "Nor can Proposition 8 be justified as an exercise in promoting the well-being of children or families. It has no effect on gay couples' ability to raise children, and in fact it denies tens of thousands of children who have same-sex parents the security and esteem of living in a marital family."
Prop. 8 backers are trying to persuade the Supreme Court to leave the same-sex marriage ban instact, saying the state's voters had a right to restrict marriage to heterosexual couples.
Opponents of the Proposition 8 ban believe Obama signaled his intention to file a brief when he declared in last month's inaugural address that gays and lesbians must be "treated like anyone else under the law." An administration official told the Associated Press that Obama — a former constitutional law professor — was not foreshadowing any legal action in his remarks and was simply restating his personal belief in the right of gays and lesbians to marry, though the official said the administration was considering filing a brief.
The Proposition 8 ballot initiative was approved by California voters in 2008 in response to a state Supreme Court decision that had allowed gay marriage. Twenty-nine other states have constitutional amendments banning gay marriage, while nine states and Washington, D.C., recognize same-sex marriage.
The White House administration could also file a narrower brief that would ask the court to issue a decision applying only to California. Or it could decide not to weigh in on the case at all.
The Supreme Court, which will take up the case on March 26, has several options for its eventual ruling. Among them:
- Uphold the state ban on gay marriage and say citizens of a state have the right to make that call.
- Endorse an appeals court ruling that would make same-sex marriage legal in California but apply only to that state.
- Issue a broader ruling that would apply to California and seven other states: Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon and Rhode Island. In those states, gay couples may join in civil unions that have all the benefits of marriage but may not be married.
- Rule that the Constitution forbids states from banning same-sex unions.
For weeks, supporters and opponents of Proposition 8 have been lobbying the administration to side with them.
Ahead of next week's deadline, nearly two dozen states have filed briefs with the court asking the justices to uphold the California measure.
Public opinion has shifted in support of gay marriage in recent years. In May 2008,
Gallup found that 56 percent of Americans felt same-sex marriages should not be recognized by the law as valid. By November 2012, 53 percent felt they should be legally recognized.
One day after the court hears the California case, the justices will hear arguments on another gay marriage case, this one involving provisions of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. The act defines marriage as between a man and a woman for the purpose of deciding who can receive a range of federal benefits.
The Obama administration abandoned its defense of the law in 2011 but continues to enforce it.
Associated Press writers Julie Pace, Mark Sherman and News Survey Specialist Dennis Junius contributed to this report.

Whether you work out on a regular basis, are a weekend warrior, or have just gone a little too far with activities, you know that overdoing it can lead to unhappiness. Activities that are repetitive or too intense can cause minor tears, strains, and inflammation which cause pain that can slow you down. Sometimes this can lead to tendinitis or bursitis. If it does, then how do you get rid of it?
Tendons and bursae help support movement at your joints. Bursa are fluid filled sacs that help your tendons glide over bony areas of your joints. Tendons are connective tissues that bind muscles to bones. When these structures become injured, they can make joint movement painful. Overuse or stress injuries can easily cause the following injuries:
These injuries may be caused by something as simple as housecleaning or your everyday job, to something more complex like sports. It may also be caused by an imbalance in the muscles around your joint. It may be difficult to tell if the problem is with the tendon or bursa.
The pain may not always be due to an obvious injury. It may slowly develop or get worse over time. It is important to know your body to help distinguish between normal soreness from some workouts and soreness that indicates a problem.
Pain is a communication tool. It is the way your brain tells you that you need to pay attention because something is wrong. If you are feeling pain, you need to assess why, especially if the pain is always in the same location and continues or recurs often. Ignoring the pain may simply force you to be unnecessarily uncomfortable. It can also lead to long term problems.
Note what activities may be causing the pain. Find ways to change the activity to reduce stress on your joints. Some adaptations that may help include:
Not all injuries can be prevented. Fortunately, most tendon and bursa problems can be relieved with some basic at home care.
Bursitis and tendinopathy need time and attention to heal. Most of the time, the pain will go away with home care. Here are some tips on what you can do at home:
These steps will help relieve discomfort but may not solve the underlying problem. Talk to your doctor if the pain does not go away. Your doctor may recommend other treatment options such as joint injections and physical therapy.
In some cases, cortisone may be injected into the bursa or occasionally around tendons. This medicine may help to reduce swelling and irritation.. These injections may make the pain may go away temporarily. The cause of the bursitis or tendinitis will still need to be addressed.
Physical therapy may help relieve the cause of the tendinitis or bursitis. A physical therapist may help to:
Other treatments like ice or heat therapy, braces, or wraps may help to manage the pain while you heal.
You may never know for sure if your ache is from tendinopathy or bursitis. Rest is the most important step for either injury. Give your body the chance it needs to heal before jumping back in to action. A few days of frustration are much easier to deal with than long term pain.

The build quality is alright. The phone is all plastic and gets dents really easily but the back looks the greatest with some soft touch and nice plastic design. The reception of the phone really good. You don't have to worry about losing connection and the connection is solid. The call quality on the phone is really good with good volume strength and clear tones, my only complaint though is when you put it on speaker. The internet on this phone is horrible. It is very slow and takes forever to load up. All my multimedia is within the app world which honestly really doesn't have good apps. The camera on the phone is really good and takes crisps shots that are clear. The U.I speed is alright. It freezes once in while and sometimes has a delay when opening up apps. The keyboard is really amazing. I was able to text really fast and and hardly made any mistakes. The display is also really nice because of the brightness and the really nice colors and how crisp it is. The battery life is really good and lasts you just about the whole day even with heavy usage.Build quality 7/10Reception 10/10Call quality 8/10Internet 3/10Multimedia 6/10Camera 10/10UI speed 8/10Everyday usage 8/10Text input 10/10Display 9/10Battery 9/10

9650 really?
I have the same comment about the charger plug as the other reviewer. It is in a bad place, whether you are right or left handed. The lower position makes it difficult to use the phone. The phone gets hot when it is charging, not like my 8330. I am not crazy about this phone. There are several issues and I am not sold on this phone. I felt like throwing it against the wall, I never felt that way about the 8330. I am not adverse to other phones, I have used many including the IPhone. The book is wrong on several places and even tech support had difficulty finding the right answers. I have several issues with this phone, I won't go into all of them. One major issue is the numbers are in red. I am not colorblind but I have trouble seeing the numbers. My husband is colorblind and he cannot see the numbers at all. He couldn't upgrade from the 8330 to this phone at all. Blackberry needs to address that. I do like it that the keys have a slant. The cursor pad instead of the trackball is very fluid and moves a lot. I liked the way the trackball worked - I did have to get mine replaced because it fell out - but it was predictable and dependable otherwise.Even though I have the font on the phone set to a larger font, the browser is very difficult to read and I won't use that if it can't be changed. I don't know at this point if I will keep the 9650 or send it back.Design 3/10Features 3/10Performance 3/10
- Keys are slanted.
- Charger plug on lower righthand side. Takes longer to charge. Battery gets hot while charging. Numbers are in red. Browser is difficult to see. Instructions in book are not all correct. Not sold on the cursor pad or a lot of other features.

Pretty ok but certainly not the best right now
Rho has owned it for less than year before publishing this review
Installed OS 6 soon after I got this phone so this review is based on OS 6 running on it.
The UI is beautiful for a blackberry phone. Good email management as usual.
Not many apps available for customization. Crappy media player, okay photos.
The trackpad of the phone usually comes in the pack deformed in some way but it still works and my louspeaker stopped working after the fifth fall, hasn't happened to any of my other phones.

Bold 9650 - Verizon
406Montana has owned it for more than one year before publishing this review
-I have had this phone for about a year now. I was first in line to get it when it came out. I am a huge Blackberry fan, I have had almost every model to date, Storm2, Curve, Pearl and Pearl Flip. This phone has made me the most consistently happy. I have also had an iPhone (Hated it) and a Droid (hated it) and I can honestly say this is my favorite phone I have owned. Its very solid and feels good in your hand, the keyboard is pretty much magical, I can type without looking at this point and rarely mess up. OS6 adds some very nice features such as BEING ABLE TO TYPE MORE THAN 160 CHARACTERS IN A TEXT!!!! Which I love, but I do feel like OS6 slowed the phone down some what. I almost wish I could go back to OS5 with the texting feature bumped up. I think this phone is getting some what dated though, and its time Verizon releases a new one for sure.Build quality 9/10Reception 8/10Call quality 8/10Internet 8/10Multimedia 8/10Camera 8/10UI speed 5/10Everyday usage 9/10Text input 10/10Display 10/10Battery 8/10

Best Phone I've Owned
E36Andy has owned it for less than year before publishing this review
Ok so I've decided to do a review for this phone so new buyers know what to expect. Overall the phone is built pretty well. The only flaw this phone has is that the gaping between the buttons aren't wide enough and as a result the plastic rubs against each other and you get squeaky keys...
As far as call quality and stuff goes its perfect.
The camera is pretty damn good for a 3.2 MP. I guess the lens is really good since pictures come out looking incredible.
Keyboard is easy to use but it took me a couple days to get used to the slanted keys. However once you get used to it typing without looking is easy.
The only complaint I have is the size of the screen. If there was some kind of blackberry with a big screen AND keyboard I would be sold cause sometimes reading long emails or watching youtube videos isnt practical on this phone because of the small screen...
Oh and the battery needs to be charged every night. Sometimes I dont even make it a full day...Build quality 9/10Reception 10/10Call quality 10/10Internet 7/10Multimedia 9/10Camera 8/10UI speed 10/10Everyday usage 10/10Text input 10/10Display 9/10Battery 5/10

Verizon Wireless: Got this as a result of a free upgrade from the Tour for a long drawn out reason. Overall the usability of the keyboard is very good for a non touch screen phone. Delay is very minimal in typing. The track pad is much better than the trackball, even the upgraded one from the tour. The only downside is if your finger is dry it is a bit of a pain to scroll. The phones process very fast except when running certain programs from BB AppWorld, for me mainly financial ones. New features, like wi-fi seem to be nice but I never use them. The battery life does seem to be a little worse than with the tour if the phone is used to its full capacity on an average day. Processor tends to become slow when having multiple conversations either with BBM's, BBM/SMS or SMS/SMS. Deleting lengthy conversations usually tends to help as well as a more charged battery. No major defaults to speak of after using it for 4 months. Camera and Video are very good though occasionally flash does not work properly in lighting conditions. Web Browser occasionally loads slow even with full bars but that seems to problems from all BB alike.Design 8/10Features 7/10Performance 7/10

Didn't live up to expectations
So I finally got around to buying my first ever smartphone just over a month ago and it was the BlackBerry Bold 9650 from Sprint, and unfortunately it fell so short of my expectations that I ended up sending it back to Sprint within my initial 30-day no risk trial period for a refund.First the good:The phone looks sharp, feels great in the hand, has excellent screen resolution and takes amazing photos and videos. The way that the phone handles emails, messaging and texts is outstanding and makes such interactions with your contacts about as seamless and efficient as possible. BlackBerry's true push-email, unlike most other smartphone's "pull" email software worked flawlessly on my Gmail accounts.Next the so-so:I had read on another website that if you look closely at the Bold's optical track pad from an 'edge-on' perspective, you'll notice that it's not installed flush with the face of the phone and in fact it's sitting at an angle, just as though it wasn't seated properly when it was installed. I did notice this to also be true on my unit. So while the overall build-quality feels great and solid, there is at least one area where it does appear as though some QA work wasn't fully done. The call quality was surprisingly just so-so and have had much better reviews from my friends who have heard me talking to them on my replacement cheap 'dumb' phone, so more expensive doesn't necessarily mean better voice quality at all.Lastly, the bad:I had miserable success in using location-based...Design 7/10Features 6/10Performance 5/10

Blackberry Bold
I own the Bold 9650 And the EVO4G and they are both excellent devices. I use the Bold for business and the ease in retrieving EMails with a Blackberry is still the easiest and most simplified. I have owned 4 Blackberrys prior to the Bold and this one by far is the best. It can't be properly compared to any of the touch screen smartphones. If games and music are what you're looking for go for a touch screen. If you want a business device then the Blackberry Bold should work wellDesign 10/10Features 10/10Performance 10/10

Best phone ive had to date
I switch phones a lot to try everything out and the bold is for sure my favorite phone so far. Texting and emailing is way easy on the bold compared to any of the htc touch screens. RIM has the OS down pretty well. The only downfall is the internet browsing is a little slow but thats it. OS6 should be faster. The camera takes awesome pictures for a 3.2 mp. And of course the trackpad is a must compared to the tour. I could have purchased the evo but still am too happy with my bold to reconsider.Design 10/10Features 10/10Performance 9/10

I have had this phone for a week now, no problems what so ever. It's an amazing upgrade from the 8330. the picture and video quality is unbelievable. the only thing i don't like is where the plug is for the battery charger. The same issue with the tour, Its such an awkward place that it's hard to type while charging, but that's definitely something that can be overlooked for this phone! Battery life seems a bit short but it may be because I'm constantly playing with it since it's new. Hopefully it will get better. Internet is much faster and actually shows up as real websites now, unlike on the 8330. All in all i would absolutely recommend this phone!Design 9/10Features 10/10Performance 10/10

Did Have 8330 curve. Can not compare these two phones. 9650 is just so much better in every area. Call quality is better, the picture and video quality is very good also. WIFI is great! Overall RIM did a great job for this phone. Now just bring on O.S. 6.0 for a little faster internet and I would say this is a perfect phone!Design 10/10Features 10/10Performance 9/10
- Basically Everything. Great Great phone
- The only reason this phone did not get a perfect 10 is just because the internet could be a little faster when wifi is not available. 6.0 will take care of this hopefully!

This year we are not having stockings I am NOT happy. I'm twenty years old- this shouldn't upset me but it does. It feels like my childhood's running away
But I am enjoying being with my family, and so will wish you a very merry Christmas Eve/ Christmas Day-and if you don't celebrate Christmas then enjoy the holiday!
ALSO If you are in the UK PLEASE PLEASE BUY Forever Yours by Alex Day off Itunes. It probably won't make the top twenty-last I checked it wasn't anywhere near, but it would be lovely if it was in the top 40 and therefore got played on the Top 40 radio show tomorrow. Please, please buy- and its for charity, and a great song.

Artist Cy Twombly Is Dead at 83
Well-known American artist Edwin Parker "Cy" Twombly, Jr., best known for his large-scale abstract paintings that often looked like scribbles, has died. He was 83.
Twombly suffered from cancer for the past several years and was hospitalized a few days ago in Italy, where he's lived for the last 50 years. His photographs are currently on exhibition in France and I'm sure a rush of retrospectives and auctions are sure to follow.

In the beginning we did not allow girls to go to schools. We did not let them learn how to read and write. Then, after a long time, we allowed girls to go to schools because educated men desired to have sex with educated women. We did not allow educated girls to work outside because we wanted them to stay at home and take care of their children. We forced them to wear invisible chastity belts. Then, again after a period of time, we allowed girls to go outside to take jobs and earn money. But we allowed them to take certain kinds of jobs like nursing, like elementary teaching. Meanwhile we got so scared of feminist movement, we tried to crush that. Since then we have been telling girls they must not be feminists because boys hate feminists. We rather try everything to make the girls sex objects. We tell girls to become certain kinds of bodies because men desire certain kinds of bodies. We brainwash girls every day to buy stupid things and wear stupid things and become stupid things. We brainwash girls everyday to become nothing but a pair a lips or a pair of tits or a pair of high heels or a pair of funny sunglasses. We tell girls everyday and every hour that they have to think stupid, they have to speak stupid, they have to act stupid- only then they will be able to achieve their goals, they will look desirable, sexy. Girls have been forced to look sexy. Now girls want to be nothing but 'sexy'.
We used to encourage boys to be scientists and girls to be prostitutes. But we soon have realized that girls can be clever, they are not just bodies and they can be other things than playthings for patriarchy. We now pay the price. We make a stupid video to attract stupid girls to choose careers in science. We have to make more and more this kind of offensive, insulting and disgusting videos, more pathetic trivialization of science, more sexist and demeaning videos, so that our sexy stupid girls can think a lab is a flirting zone and science means boiling hormones in tubes and bacteria culture plates are full of red lipsticks. The truth is most young girls today are either like video girls or they dream to be like video girls. We have to face the reality.
We are paying the price for putting our girls in the darkness for centuries. We now try to re-brainwash girls so that an interest in science can grow. We hope once they start studying science, their lifestyle will be changed. Their brains will start to think, their eyes will start to see, their ears will start to hear. They will not run after the wrong things we sell. They will fall in love with science and they will realize that science is the most sexiest smart thing in the universe. Stupid girls will turn clever girls.
Let's hope for the 'bright side of life'.

Walters to make second rehab start Friday
By Rhett Bollinger / MLB.com
Walters, who was placed on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation on June 14, struggled in the early innings against Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.
He gave up two runs in the first inning and threw just one first-pitch strike to the first seven batters he faced. But he settled down and ended up surrendering three runs on five hits over four innings.
"He threw 40 strikes and 30 balls, so he was misfiring," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He got better as the game went along so he was rusty. So that tells me probably another start. He started locating it better at the end, but he couldn't locate his fastball early."
Gardenhire said there's still a chance Walters might make one more rehab start after Friday, because the Twins are off from July 9-12.
Walters, 27, posted a 5.40 ERA in seven starts before being placed on the DL on June 14 after allowing four runs without recording an out against the Phillies on June 13.
Capps throws for first time, to start rehab soon
DETROIT -- Twins closer Matt Capps played catch Monday for the first time since receiving a cortisone shot in his right shoulder last week.
Capps, who is on the disabled list retroactive to June 24 with inflammation in his right shoulder, is planning on making a rehab appearance with Class A Fort Myers on July 10 or 11. He's tentatively scheduled to throw his first bullpen session this weekend.
The hope is that Capps will be ready to rejoin the Twins after the All-Star break since their first game after the Midsummer Classic is Friday, June 13, against the A's.
"What he'd like to do is go to Florida and go home to Bradenton, [Fla.], over the All-Star break and pitch an inning with the Miracle on a rehab," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "Hopefully, all will go well and he'll be ready to return right after the break."
Capps has a 3.42 ERA with 14 saves in 27 appearances this season. He initially felt discomfort in his shoulder against the Brewers on June 15 and took a week off before suffering a setback in an inning against the Reds on June 23.
Twins ink Dominican infielder Minier
DETROIT -- The Twins agreed to terms with Dominican infielder Amaurys Minier on a $1.4 million deal on Monday, the first day teams were eligible to sign international free agents.
Minier, who ranks No. 4 on MLB's International Prospect list, is a switch-hitting infielder with power from both sides of the plate.
The 16-year-old is currently a shortstop, but could move to third base. He's already 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds.
"That was the big one that we were chasing," Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said. "We like his bat, and we like his power."
Minier is eligible to play in the Minors next season, but the contract begins in 2012. He's free to work out with the organization's Dominican Summer League this year, but can't play in any games.
In accordance with the new Basic Agreement, the international system now operates with money pools and penalties for teams that exceed their pools. For the 2012-13 signing period, every team will have the same pool of $2.9 million. Starting in 2013-14, the pools will be based on the prior season's winning percentages, with a range of approximately $1.7 million to $4.8 million.

I'm trying to pass into my C++ linux application an XML document, which is describing some algorithm, that should be executed by application. I need to sequentially parse this document and after reading some value from it, immediately execute appropriate action described by that value.
How should I parse that XML document and which XML parser should I choose? Actually, after reading some tutorials, I had already chosen IBM's xml4c2, but is it good decision?
What exactly does it mean "SAX" and what is it good for?

This is test-driving, Nintendo style.
Looking to recover from the Wii's slump, Nintendo is placing 5,000 interactive kiosks around retail stores this holiday season to give consumers a hands-on look at the new Wii U game console and its touch-screen GamePad controller.
Depending on the kiosk, people will be able to play games like New Super Mario Bros. and Rayman Legends on the Wii U, which debuts Nov. 18.
Nintendo is hoping to convince shoppers that its newest product is the best way to play games, watch video content and connect with friends. It's the company's bid to rebound in the console market after posting the first unprofitable year in its history, thanks in part to a tepid initial response to the Nintendo 3DS handheld gaming machine.
A while back, GeekWire visited a "Wii U Experience" event at a Seattle club and polled some of the people trying out Nintendo's new thing, which is the first in the industry's next generation of home consoles and gets Nintendo out ahead of Microsoft and Sony. The reaction from the crowd was generally positive, but not universally so, with some concerned about price and lack of originality.
The Wii U Basic Set will be sold at a suggested retail price of $299.99, while the Wii U Deluxe Set will be available at a suggested retail price of $349.99.
Participating retailers hosting the kiosks include Target, Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart and Toys 'R' Us. There are 20 kiosks in a 50-mile radius surrounding Seattle, including ones at the downtown Seattle GameStop's and the Bellevue Best Buy. See if there are any near you at Nintendo's website.

This drowsy little so and so had a go at me for no good reason. I'm guessing "wasp" but it would be nice to have a better name to mutter when I'm rubbing my arm.
Hello there,
It might be an idea to have a precautionary Piriton, this is the Horse Fly Haematopota pluvialis (I think). A biter not a stinger and personally I would far rather be stung by a wasp than bitten by one of these fellows.
Thanks Lewis, that makes more sense. There was some pain when it bit but I have a saucer-sized souvenir now..I'll steer clear of H. pluvialis in future.

The primary goal of this diet is to lower your levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad, cholesterol. This diet may also raise your levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good cholesterol. Having too much LDL cholesterol, and/or not enough HDL cholesterol can lead to a condition known as atherosclerosis, which causes plaque to build up in your arteries. Plaque buildup narrows and hardens your arteries, increasing your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Cholesterol level is one factor considered when determining your overall risk of having a heart attack, heart disease, or stroke. Other factors that are considered include:
A cholesterol-lowering diet may be recommended if you are at high risk for heart disease or stroke. The goal of this diet is to lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol.
Diet and Cholesterol
Diet is just one of the factors that affect the level of cholesterol in the body. Adjusting certain elements in your diet may help to lower your blood cholesterol levels.
Fat is an essential nutrient with many responsibilities, including transporting the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K; protecting vital organs, and providing a sense of fullness after meals. Fat can be broken down into 4 main types:
Fats that increase LDL levels and should be avoided or limited:
Saturated fat
Found in margarine and vegetable shortening, shelf stable snack foods, and fried foods, it increases total blood cholesterol, especially LDL levels.
- Animal fats that are saturated include: butter, lard, whole-milk dairy products, meat fat, and poultry skin
- Vegetable fats that are saturated include: shortening, palm oil, coconut oil, and cocoa butter
Hydrogenated or trans fat
Found in margarine and vegetable shortening, it increases total blood cholesterol, including LDL levels. It also decreases HDL levels.
Fats that improve cholesterol profile and should be eaten in moderation:
Monounsaturated fat
Found in oils such as olive and canola, it can decrease total cholesterol level while keeping levels of HDL high.
Polyunsaturated fat
Found in oils such as safflower, sunflower, soybean, corn, and sesame, it can decrease total cholesterol.
Less than 5-6% of calories should come from saturated fat on a cholesterol-lowering diet. Trans fat intake should be kept as low as possible with a goal to eliminate them completely.
On an 2,000 calorie diet, this translates into less than 13 grams of saturated fat per day. The majority of fats you eat should be mono- and polyunsaturated fats.
Dietary cholesterol is found only in animal products. Although dietary cholesterol can increase LDL cholesterol, it does not affect it nearly as much as saturated or trans fats. On a cholesterol-lowering diet, you should eat as little dietary cholesterol as possible while eating a healthful diet.
Eating a diet high in soluble fiber can help lower your LDL cholesterol. There are 2 main types of fiber: soluble and insoluble. While both are very important to health, only soluble fiber impacts cholesterol levels. When soluble fiber is digested, it dissolves into a gel-like substance that helps block the absorption of fat and cholesterol into the bloodstream.
Soluble fiber is found in foods such as oatmeal, oat bran, barley, soy products, legumes, apples, and strawberries. On a cholesterol-lowering diet, you should consume at least 5-10 grams of soluble fiber per day, and ideally 10-25 grams.
Stanols and Sterols
Stanols and sterols are substances found in certain plants. Plant stanols and sterols can lower LDL cholesterol levels in a similar way to soluble fiber, by blocking their absorption from the digestive tract. Certain foods, including margarines and orange juice, are now being fortified with these cholesterol-lowering substances. Research shows that consuming at least 2 grams of plant stanols or sterols a day can reduce LDL cholesterol by more than 10%.
Eating Guide for a Cholesterol-lowering Diet
- Whole grain breads and cereals, pasta, rice, potatoes, low-fat crackers
- High-fat baked goods like muffins, donuts, and pastries
- Crackers made with trans fat
- All; choose whole fruit over juice for added fiber
- None
- All
- Vegetables with added fat or sauce
- Nonfat or low-fat (1%) milk
- Nonfat or low-fat yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk
- Cottage cheese, low-fat cheeses
- Whole milk
- Reduced-fat (2%) milk
- Malted and chocolate milk
- Most cheeses
- Lean cuts of beef, pork, veal, or lamb (look for the word loin or round; trim visible fat before cooking
- Poultry without the skin
- Fish and most shellfish; limit your intake of shrimp
- Egg whites and egg substitutes; limit whole eggs to 2 per week
- Tofu
- Seeds, nuts; peanut butter should be eaten in moderation due to high calorie content
- Dried peas, beans, and lentils
- Fatty cuts of meat
- Organ meats like brain, liver, and kidneys
- Poultry skin
- Breaded fish or meats
- More than 2 egg yolks per week, including those found in baked goods, cooked foods, or processed foods
- Vegetable oils high in unsaturated fat like olive, canola, corn, safflower, or soybean
- Trans fat-free soft or liquid margarines; the first ingredient should be unsaturated liquid vegetable oil
- Stanol/sterol-containing margarine
- Low-fat salad dressings and mayonnaise
- Butter, stick margarine, coconut and palm oils, bacon fat
- Salad dressings made with egg yolk
- In moderation: fat-free or low-fat cookies, ice cream, frozen yogurt; sherbet; angel food cake; baked goods made with unsaturated oil or trans-free margarine, egg whites or egg substitutes, and nonfat milk; jello; candy made with little or no fat like hard candy or jelly beans
- High-fat desserts; baked goods made with butter, lard, shortening, egg yolks, or whole milk
Food Selection
- Make whole grains, fruits, and vegetables the base of your diet.
- Look for products that are labeled as fat free, low-fat, cholesterol free, saturated fat-free and trans fat-free. However, a product can claim no grams trans fat, even on the label, but still have a small amount. Be sure to look for partially hydrogenated oil. If a product has this, avoid it.
- Become familiar with the Nutrition Facts panel, which lists information such as the amount of calories, saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol per serving of the item.
- Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These include fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and tuna; flaxseed, walnuts, and canola oil. Eating fish at least 2 times a week is more effective than omega-3 fatty acid supplements. In fact, evidence about the benefits of supplements is not conclusive.
Try different foods and make changes based on what you like to eat. It may take some time to get comfortable with new changes.
Meal Preparation
- Prepare foods by using low-fat methods, such as steaming, boiling, grilling, poaching, baking, broiling, or roasting. If you are sautéing or stir frying, use a cooking spray or small amount of vegetable oil.
- Trim any visible fat off meat or poultry before cooking. Drain the fat after browning.
- Limit high-fat sauces. Add zest to foods by topping them with low-fat items such as fresh herbs, salsas, or chutneys.
- Increase fiber by adding fruit to your cereal or yogurt, beans to your salad, and choosing whole-grain breads.
- Cook at home more often. Restaurant food tends to be high in fat and calories.
- Engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity most days of the week.
- If you are overweight, talk with your doctor about the best methods to lose weight.
- Talk to a registered dietitian for individualized diet advice.
