Attract new customers using Publisher Applies to: Microsoft® Office Publisher 2003 Successful businesses regularly focus on attracting new customers; otherwise they wouldn't be in business for long. Successful businesses also do a good job of showing their appreciation to loyal customers so those customers become their biggest fans. One way to attract new customers is by getting your fans to refer other people who could use your products or services. Other businesses can also be a source for new customers. Most likely your business already has working relationships with other businesses; these can be tapped to form mutual partnerships. If you offer to distribute other companies' brochures or business cards to your customers, those companies will more than likely reciprocate by distributing your marketing materials to their customers. And don't forget that you can use well-designed marketing materials to get customers to refer themselves. Whatever approach you decide to use to attract customers, Publisher can help. Using one of the pre-designed publications, you can quickly put together a referral postcard, brochure, letter or other publication. Get referrals from loyal customers Once you've decided to launch a customer referral campaign, there are many creative ways you can use Publisher to create marketing materials that will motivate your loyal customers to bring in new business. Use a referral card, a tear-off card that offers a discount to both a customer and a friend. You reward a regular customer and entice a new one at the same time. Offer gift certificates during the holidays to make gift giving easy for your customers and give them additional discounts for themselves with a coupon. When you have a big sales event, send a postcard or flyers to your steady customers inviting them to bring a friend to the sale and get an extra discount. Attract new customers using Publisher Page 1 E-mail a letter or a special offer announcement. If the e-mail gets forwarded to a friend, the friend gets the discount too by bringing in the printed e-mail. Use print or e-mail newsletters to give loyal customers regular information about styles, trends, or the latest technology so they can pass the information on to others. Use coupons as rewards and incentives to bring in new customers. Buy one meal and get a second one for half off. Buy one manicure and get a second one for a friend at a discount. Make in-store referral cards that customers can take to friends, who get a discount when they fill out the card and bring it back to the store. Invite loyal customers to a customer appreciation event. If they bring guests, both people get a special gift. top Get referrals from other businesses Most businesses rely on other businesses for products or services. Restaurants, for example, have food suppliers and wine merchants. A realtor works with appraisers, inspectors, contractors, architects, mortgage brokers, loan officers, interior designers, gardeners, painters, and others. Any of these partners has the potential to provide customer referrals. Here are some creative ways you can collaborate with your business partners: Get other businesses to host a link to your Web site on their site and offer to do the same for them. Find out if a trade association you belong to has a Web site listing businesses in your area and get your business contact information on their site. Ask a complementary business to refer customers by displaying your business card or brochure at their front desk or lobby. Be prepared to do the same for them. Go one step further and ask a complementary business to hand out your business card or brochure when they know a customer could use your product or service. A realtor, for example, might recommend a loan officer or contractor for a remodel. Join other businesses in sending out group mailers advertising special offers and discounts. Ask other businesses to post flyers for you advertising your products or services especially if what they do complements what your business does. Use tradeshows or conventions to hand out product catalogs and business cards to other business owners who might use your services or recommend you to others. Send fax messages to new businesses announcing overstocks or older merchandise that they can get for reduced prices. top Get new customers to refer themselves Once you've developed a precisely targeted mailing list, you're in a great position to launch a direct mail campaign. You can send potential new customers the same publications you send to regular customers notifying them of sales and special offers. You can also get information out to new customers by sending them your newsletter or product brochure. If you have a Web site, put up a guestbook page asking visitors for information about themselves. Offer a gift or a discount on their first purchase if they fill out the page. Give visitors the option to sign up for regular mailings to get the latest news about your business or industry (make it easy for them to unsubscribe as well). Put your business Web site address on all printed or e-mail materials you send out. This gives anyone who receives them the opportunity to follow up for more information. Attract new customers using Publisher Page 2 top Choose a publication design in Publisher No matter what method you decide to use for attracting new customers, Publisher can support that effort with one of its professional-looking, easy-to-use print or electronic publication designs. You can use: One of the many pre-designed publications available for each publication type. A publication design that matches a Master Design Set, if you've used such a Set to establish your company identity and brand. One of the new templates available on the Office Online Web site.

We're sad today to say farewell to an old and dear friend. DreamBook was one of the first projects created by the founders of DreamHost and was part of the original New Dream Network of sites. At one time hosting over a half million guestbooks, it was the second largest guestbook server in the world at its peak and helped to introduce thousands of people to our services. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and the function guestbooks provided has been replaced by shiny new toys like Facebook and WordPress. As a result, we made the difficult decision to retire DreamBook once and for all — our hosting of DreamBooks ended on January 12th, 2015.
We do understand that many users have become attached to their DreamBooks so, as a courtesy, we've made archives of your DreamBooks available from the DreamBook management page. Those downloads will be available until March 31st, 2015.
Thanks to everyone who participated in making DreamBook such a success, both through creating and managing the books and posting their hopes, dreams and ideas to them!

Lyrics 12. Acknowledgement 13. Revision History --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01. Introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an amazing sequel to Otogi: Myth of Demons. In Otogi 2, there are 6 playable characters, each with their own strength and weakness. The characters are based on Japanese folklore. The replay value for this game is great because that are so many items to collect. As for hidden goodies, there are various hidden cut scenes in this game. To view them all, you probably have to replay every mission using all 6 characters. Furthermore, the weapons and costumes equipped by the various characters will be reflected in the cut scene too. There is a 2nd Play option after you have finished the game once. The version I bought is a 2-disk version that came with Otogi: Myth of Demons (in English), so this is even more value for money. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 02. Movement and Control --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic Control ------------- A: Jump. Press again to double jump. B: Light Attack X: Cast Magic Y: Heavy Attack L Trigger: Lock On / Lock Off R Trigger: Dash Start: Display Stats, Mission and Map. iJump (short for infinite jump): this special feat is performed while your character is in midair. Press B/Y then R Trigger. This will launch the character higher. You can keep on doing to reach very high places. Graphical Interface ------------------- The lower right corner has 2 fans and a string of beads. The large fan is the HP indicator while the small fan is the MP indicator. The string of beads is the number of life left. The length of the string determines the maximum beads that the character can have. Any fans displayed on the top left hand corner is used to indicate the enemy HP. Any fans displayed on the bottom left corner is used to indicate the HP of friendly entities that you need to protect. Menu ---- Stage: Go to the current available stage. Provide access to Trial Mode. Equip: Equip your characters. Shop: Buy or Sell items Cleared Stage: Replay all those stages that you had cleared Option: Save, Load, Game Setting, Controller Assign, Give Up Stage ----- All stages cleared cannot be selected again. Provide access to Trial Mode. Shop ---- Magic: Buy, Sell, and Cancel Accessories: Buy, Sell, and Cancel. Develop: You need to find the items before they are available for sale here. Such items can only be picked up once per Stage. Note that the price increases after each purchase. The character that found an attribute item will gains +5 in that attribute. So obviously character that are used more often will get stronger. The attribute items will occur in set of 5. So if you can only find a few of them, search more thoroughly. The order of the items on sale is as follows: 1. Life Bead +1 (subject to length of life bead string). You need to kill Mercury Orb and pick up the item they left behind. The original wording for the item is called Shura Life. Shura is a kind of demigod where the male are very ugly while the female are very pretty. 2. Strength 3. Body 4. Intelligence 5. Dexterity 6. Resistance 7. Moon Jewel. $317000. Available in 2nd Play. Raiko 4th Weapon. Game Setting ------------ Vibration: Red = On, Blue = Off Caption: Red = On, Blue = Off Auto Lock-On: Red = On, Blue = Off Brightness Sound Setting Note: Make sure Auto Lock-On is set off else you cannot escape from the enemies. This is crucial in time critical mission because you don�t want to spend time killing every single enemy you encounter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 03. Character Guide --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The characters are listed according to the character portraits that appear in the game. The character names are hard to remember so I prefer to use nickname instead. Who can remember a name such as Urabe Suetake? Let�s just call him Tree Trunk! 1. Minamoto Raikou aka Raiko Raiko�s Clan serves as Imperial Assassin. They are tasked to kill anyone in the list issued by the Imperial Court. Many innocents blood were shed, to redeem the sins of his Clan, he seek and cleanse all those Demons and Evil Spirits. When the world is cleansed, he used an Enchanted Sword to seal his spirit until the world needs him again. Elemental Class: Equal to that of the Magic Equipped Can use Level 1, 2 magic. Medium Magic Strength & Weakness Raiko should have no problem completing any of the Stages. However, you can only use him once per Phase. Combos: B -> B B -> Y (downward slash) B -> X B -> B -> B B -> B -> Y B -> B -> X B -> B -> B -> B B -> B -> B -> Y B -> B -> B -> X 2. Sakata Kintoki aka Axeman He is a rebel leader that is converted by Fan Lady. His nemesis is the Rebel General that is beheaded and trapped in the Soul Trapping Jail.

Note: Y throw the enemy straight (can Lock On), B throw the enemy in a projectile. Strength: Very Strong attack and defense. High HP High life beads. Can complete the Stages even when MP runs out. Can take out a Boss in a few hits if he can get close enough. Weakness: Can only perform single jump only. To reach higher places, you need to do the iJump. Can use Level 1 magic only. Weak magical attack and defence Combos: B -> B B -> Y B -> X B -> B -> B B -> B -> X Y (Grab) 3. Watanabe Tsuna aka Wolf Guy (Tiger) (Lightning) The Earth Spiders wipe out his Clan and he is the sole survivor.

Combos: B -> B B -> Y B -> X B -> B -> B B -> B -> Y (shockwave generated) B -> B -> X B -> B -> B -> B B -> B -> B -> Y B -> B -> B -> X 4. Usui Sadamitsu aka Scythe Girl (Butterfly) (Ice) Note: According to Japanese Legend, Usui Sadamitsu is supposed to be a guy. In this game, a girl is used instead. Elemental Class: (Butterfly) (Ice) She is the only character that can do up to 9 stage combos. Can use Level 1, 2 magic. Strength: Can chain combos easily. Great to use when you want to set a new combo record. Very fast. Medium Magic Freeze enemies when performing certain combos.

Urabe Suetake aka Tree Trunk (Dragon) (Seeking Missiles) He merged with a Spirit Tree in his youth granting him extraordinary magical power. However, to prevent the Tree Spirit from taking over his mind, talismans are pasted on the Tree Trunk to seal the Tree Spirit. However, this greatly lower his movement speed. Elemental Class: (Dragon) (Seeking Missiles) Strength: Can jump infinitely. This conserve precious MP needed for iJump. Can use Level 1, 2, 3 magic. Strong magical attack and defence Attack range is the widest. Weakness: Slow Weak physical attack Low HP Low life beads Combos: B -> B B -> Y B -> X B -> B -> B B -> B -> Y B -> B -> X B -> B -> B -> B B -> B -> B -> Y B -> B -> B -> X 6. Abeno Seimei aka Fan Lady Note: According to Japanese Legend, Abeno Seimei is supposed to be a guy. In this game, a lady is used instead. Abeno is an Imperial Summoner (original wording is Yin & Yang Master) and her job nature is close to that of an Imperial Minister. Elemental Class: Equal to that of the Magic Equipped Special Ability: B: Light Attack Y: Grab enemy. Hold to suck their MP, then press B/Y to throw. Note: Y throw the enemy straight (can Lock On), B throw the enemy in a projectile. Strength: Can use Level 1, 2, 4 magic. Strong Magic Weakness: Basic attack is weak. To destroy large object, you need to press B followed by Y. Combos: B -> B B -> Y (Heavy Attack) B -> X B -> B -> Y B -> B -> X B -> B -> X -> X Y (Grab) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 04. Tips & Tricks --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your character MP will drains gradually while they are in play. You can recharge it by killing enemies. Walking on water, dashing and casting Magic will drain your MP faster. Once your MP runs out, you will lose HP gradually. Eventually you will lose a bead. When all your beads are used up, that�s game over. When you run out of MP or is affected by the Sealing Spell, it is still possible to reach those places high above. Just jump normally, move the left thumb stick forward and keep on pressing the attack button. The character will slowly move upward in the direction he/she is heading towards. This is one way to stay in midair even when you are out of MP. Make sure you save your progress regularly. If you quit the game without saving, the will cause you to lose what you had accomplished since the last save. iJump drains MP. If you are in mid air, you will stay afloat as long as you keep attacking. This is useful to keep yourself in mid air or above water without the need to perform iJump. When your MP runs out, you will sink and die when you are in water. When equip with a very heavy accessory or weapon, it will affect your jump ability, i.e. you will jump not as high as usual. Raiko and Scythe Girl had an attack that smash into the ground. You can use this to your advantage by moving to the top the enemies and then smash them. However, do not use this techniques in any Sky Level or they will fell infinitely and died. Puppets like to cast a spell that seals your MP. This will prevent you from doing iJump, Dash or cast Magic. Equip the Comb of the Afterlife to counter this effect. Enemy�s spells can be deflected back if you time your attack carefully. In each of the stages, there will be Attribute Items hidden somewhere. You need to find them first and then purchased them in the Shop. Do note that the one who find it get a first dose of it so the character you used regularly will be even stronger. The cost of these Attribute Item increases each time you buy them so do think carefully who should have them. Spiders and some other creatures tend to explode when they are killed. Use the heavy attack to send them flying. In certain stage, you will find a Mercury Orb. Kill it and it will be on sale in the development menu in the Shop. They are Str, Dex, Body, Int and End. Disable the auto Lock On feature in your control menus. At time the auto Lock On feature will get your character killed since you are unable to run away from the enemies. The campaign progress in stages. In each stage you can have a few phases. Any characters used up to clear any phase of a stage are not usable on the remaining phase. Therefore, don�t send your strongest character out first. Rather start with the weaker ones first. Keep your stronger characters for the tougher missions. The maximum level you can gain for each character is Level 31. Once that is reached, The wording MAX will appear in the character level slot. However, you can still increase the character�s stats by fulfilling the various conditions listed below. Ways to increase your attributes -------------------------------- 01. 200 combo: Dex + 2, Str + 1 02. 120 Kills: Str + 2, Bdy + 1 03. Destroy 80 objects: Str + 2, Int + 1 04. Cast 15 Magic: Int + 2, End + 1 05. Lost 7 beads: End + 2, Dex + 1 06. Send enemies flying 130 times: Str + 2 07. X charges and cast Max Magic 90 times: Int + 2 08. Flown 90 times because of enemies attack: Bdy + 2 09. While Lock On, Dash 150 times: Dex + 2 10. Status changed 5 times (Frozen, Fire, etc): End + 2 Note: all the above need not be achieve within a single mission. It can spread over several missions. Ways to decrease your attributes -------------------------------- 01. Cast Magic 10 times (Press X only, not using BX, BBX, BBBX) and damage the enemies: Str -2 02. Attack enemies using pure attack (without combos) and damage it 7 times: Int -2 03. While Lock On, do iJump 5 times: Bdy -2 Note: all the above need not be achieve within a single mission. It can spread over several missions. Magic ----- There is 4 elemental class. I will list them in the order as they appear in the magic screen. Fan Lady and the various Bosses in the game use level 4 spells. Level 4 spells can have 3 Levels of power. Press X and hold it to charge the spells. You will observe that the color changes after a while. At maximum charge, the spell released is very powerful. Press X once is equivalent to casting a Level 1 spell. Press X and hold until you see purple steam, level 2 spell. Press X and hold until you see red steam, level 3 spell. You can cast higher level spell by performing combos. Level 1 spell: Just press Y. Level 2 spell: B -> B -> Y. Always works. Level 3 spell: B -> B -> B -> Y. For some reason, I cannot get this combo to work. My guess is that it could be related to the Level of the Magic you are equipping. Dragon Original wording is Green Dragon Opposing Class: Tiger Elemental type: Wood Representative Character: Tree Trunk Spell characteristic: Homing missiles that look like a Dragon. Level 1: 3 small Dragons Level 2: 2 medium Dragons Level 3: 1 Giant Dragon Dragon Level 4: Gush of Wind Spell characteristic: A spinning gush of wind that follows you around for a short period of time. It does not destroy objects but will reflect enemy spells back to themselves. Level 1: small radius Level 2: medium radius Level 3: large radius Phoenix Original wording is Red Phoenix Opposing class: Butterfly Elemental type: Fire Representative Character: Axeman Spell characteristic: Phoenix that burns enemies. Level 1: 3 small Phoenix is released. Level 2: 2 medium Phoenix is released. Level 3: 1 Giant Phoenix is released. Phoenix Level 4: Golden Spider. This is the spell the Spider Boss casts. Spell characteristic: You see many tiny thread surrounds surrounding you. Level 1: a few threads Level 2: more threads Level 3: largest amount of threads Tiger Original wording is White Tiger Opposing class: Dragon Elemental type: Metal Representative Character: Wolf Guy Spell characteristic: Lightning that surrounds the character. At higher level, the lightning generated cover a large area. Tiger Level 4: Six Fold Spell characteristic: Shoot some beams that look like some sort of creature that curve forwards and moving towards enemies. I can�t tell what creature that is, could be a tiger. Level 1: 3 small creatures Level 2: 2 medium creatures Level 3: 1 large creature Butterfly Original wording is Blue Turtle Opposing class: Phoenix Elemental type: Water Representative Character: Scythe Girl Spell characteristic: Little butterflies Can be charged to maximum to produces lots of butterflies. Level 4: Ice Fangs Spell characteristic: Ice Dragons that freezes enemies. When cast from the ground, this spell move along the ground towards the direction that the character is facing. It disappears when it is in contact with water. When cast from the sky, it move downwards. Level 1: 3 small Ice Dragons Level 2: 2 medium Ice Dragons Level 3: 1 giant Ice Dragon Raiko and Fan Lady takes on the elemental class of the Magic they equipped. Where as the other character elemental class is fixed. When the character elemental class is opposing that of the enemies, the attack is increased but defence is decreased. When the character elemental class is the same as that of the enemies, the attack is decreased but defence is increased. Otherwise, the attack and defence remains the same. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 05. Walkthrough --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Any character used in any Phase cannot be used again within that Phase. Any stage within a Phase can be cleared in any arbitrary order. All stage cleared can be replayed using any characters. In certain stages, you will see a different cut scene when you are using certain characters. -------------------------------------------------------- Background I can�t read Japanese but I can understand the Chinese characters that appear in the text. Therefore my translation might not be very exact, so please bare with it. The title Hyakki Toubatsu Emaki means a quest to vanquish all kinds of spirits and demons. Japanese believe that there is spirit in all kinds of things. The term Otogi consists of two terms, the first term means taming or defeating while the second term means legends. So putting all this term together, it means Legend of the Demon Slayers. When the story begins, there is a narration that mentioned that the Capital had been relocated. In the process, a lot of the Seals that is being used to ward away the spirits had been broken. As a result, many creatures had been corrupted by the spirits and became demons. In this game, your characters will be sent on many quests against all kinds of evil creatures. Phase 1 Prelude: Playable Character: Fan Lady When the story starts, you can see the Fan Lady running in the forest. Soon you can see that a gigantic Nine-Tail Fox Demon is chasing her. She is corned and the Fox Demon slays her. Soon enough, the Demon found out that it is actually a paper doll animated by magic. This made the Fox Demon cried out in rage. In the mean time, the real Fan Lady was on her way to a large blossom tree. Objective: Reach the large blossom tree. This is a very simple mission because the Bird Demons can be taken care off with a few hits. Check the map and move towards the blossom tree. Upon reaching the blossom tree, you can see a rune-covered sword within the tree trunk. Fan Lady is apparently seeking a supernatural ally to aid in her quest to deal with the demons in her world. 4 great warriors had to give their lives in order to wake Raiko. They are the other 4 playable characters in this game. After a very disturbing scene, Raiko is resurrected. Note: Fan Lady post is an Imperial Summoner, the original word is Yin Yang Master. Yin means the dead while Yang means the living. So Fan Lady is really summoning Raiko to her aid. Therefore after the other 4 characters had killed themselves, Fan Lady should be able to summon them in a similar way. My understanding of the game mechanic is that, when they were summoned into this world, their energy (MP) will drains slowly. When they had running out MP, their HP will start dropping and eventually they will be banished from this world when their HP runs out. However, there is a flaw to this logic since Fan Lady�s MP does drain slowly so does it mean that somebody else summoned her as well? Stage 1: Resting Ground After Raiko is awakened, some bird demons appear. Fan Lady asked Raiko to despatch them. Playable Character: Raiko Objective: Kill all the bird demons. Just kill the first batch of Bird Demons. A cut scene will play and more Bird Demons will appear. Kill them all to end the stage. -------------------------------------------------------- Phase 2 Stage 2: Treasury Building Playable Character: All except Fan Lady Goodies: Mercury Orb. Near the pond Suggested Magic: Dragon Level 1 Suggested Accessory: Comb of the Afterlife The item stolen from the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon is a While Pearl. It is an artifact of great power but it will corrupt the wielder of its magic slowly. The Fan Lady had placed the White Pearl in the Treasury Building. The Puppet Clan (actually it is called the White Silver Man in Japanese) had learnt about this and decided to steal the White Pearl. The Puppet is clan whereby humans had given up their human form and choose a spiritual form. It looks like a piece of paper with a human face, it can move quickly and cast Sealing magic. Objective: Take out all 6 Puppets. There are 6 Puppets in this stage. You need to kill them all. They can fly and seal your magic. Equip the Comb of the Afterlife to gain immunity to sealing magic. Lock on and cast Dragon Magic to finish them off. Stage 3: Village of Water Playable Character: All except Fan Lady Goodies: Mercury Orb Butterfly Level 1. Inside large crystal, use iJump to reach. Clear stage with Wolf Guy: Insect Warding Fragrance Clear stage with Scythe Girl: Dark Water Top Bonus cut scene: Clear stage with Wolf Guy Clear stage with Scythe Girl The Fan Lady had detected that the Earth Spiders are amassing an army. The heroes were sent to take them out. Objective: Kill all 6 Huge Spiders. The Spiders can explode when they are dying. Therefore it is best to use the heavy attack to send them flying. In fact, if you aim correctly, it can explode in the middle of other Spiders and set off a chain effect and kill out most of the Spiders. You need to kill the 6 Huge Spiders to clear the stage. Stage 4: Temple of 1000 Gods Playable Character: All except Fan Lady Goodies: Scripture of Vengeful Spirits (NW area, area above the floor) Some of the Puppets who had attacked the Treasury Building had escaped to the Temple of 1000 Gods. Objective: Destroy all Puppets. There are a lot of statues in the temple. The Puppets had the ability to possess the Statue and are able to deal lots of damage to low level characters. If possible, try to make it a priority to destroy all those statues before the Puppets start to possess them. It is easier to deal with the Puppet than the Statues. -------------------------------------------------------- Phase 3 Stage 5: Soul Trapping Jail Playable Character: All except Fan Lady Goodies: Gleaming Jade Belt: SW area, near Huge Skeletons 3000 Combos: Soul Devouring Gourd The Spirits trapped in the Soul Trapping Jail are causing trouble. You are tasked to investigate. Destroy the sealing chain to release the Spirits and take them all out. Objective: Destroy the chain and destroy the spirits that were released. This is an easy stage. Just use Heavy Attack to send the enemies flying. Otherwise, they will explode and cause heavy damage to anyone standing next to it. Pass through the long passage and jump into the chamber. Destroy the chain to release more enemies. Fight for a while and the stage will end. To reach a combos of 3000, select Axeman, equip Tiger Level 1. Just stand in front of the wall, and keep casting Magic. Since his Magical Attack is so low, it can hardly damage the enemies, so you can get a combo of 3000 easily. When near out of MP, just give a few swing with the axe and you will kill near enemies to recharge your MP. Stage 6: Valley of Sunset Playable Character: All except Fan Lady Suggested Character: Tree Trunk for his ability to stay above water. Scythe Girl for her speed. Goodies: Mercury Orb. (Left middle portion of map) Clear in 2 min 30 sec: Spirit Pin Tip on getting 100%: Destroy the bridge that you are standing on. 40% Destroy the trees and surrounding on the cliff on both sides. 60% You probably have to replay this Stage a few times because you need to protect the barrier. Objective: Destroy all the ships. Protect the barrier. After failing to steal the White Pearl, the Puppets decided to take the artifact by brute force. They had sent their navy to attack the Capital. You need to protect the barrier and destroy all ships. The fan on the top right hand corner is the enemy Large Ship�s HP The fan on the bottom right hand corner is the Seal�s HP. Whenever a ship reached the barrier, the barrier�s HP will keep on decreasing so you need to take out that particular ship. There are 3 Large Ships and a few smaller ships. The small ship can be taken out in one hit. The Large Ship takes around 3 hits before going down. Tree Trunk should be able to clear this stage easily because he can keep on jumping infinitely to stay above water. To clear the stage within 2 min 30 sec. Select Scythe Girl, equip Seal of the Ogre Horn so that her light attack can destroy the ships. With her speed, you should be able to accomplish the mission in the shortest time.

Tricks: When you run out of MP or is affected by the Sealing Spell, it is still possible to reach those places high above. Just jump normally, move the left thumb stick forward and keep on pressing the attack button. The character will slowly move upward in the direction he/she is heading towards. This is one way to stay in mid-air even when you are out of MP. The Puppets had launched a massive attack at the Capital after they found out that Raiko is gone. Fan Lady utilises the power of the White Pearl to take out the Puppet�s Ship. Your mission is to take out all the floating structures. There are 4 pillars under each floating Structure. You need to destroy the 4 pillars before a floating structure is destroyed. It cannot be harm by Magic or Phyiscal Attacks. The only way to destroy any of the pillars is to use heavy attack to send enemies flying into the pillars. Fan Lady and Axeman can grab and throw the enemies towards the floating structures. Stage 14: Nether Realms Playable Character: Raiko only Goodies: Mercury Orb Raiko 2nd Weapon Objective: Guide the Raiko�s Soul to the platform. Then step onto the platform. Tips on getting 100%: One of soul is hidden in a boat in the sea, if you try to reach there, I suggest that Raiko is split in two parts: Soul and Body. Raiko need to guide his soul to the NE corner of the map. Raiko Soul is easily attracted by fire, so you need to destroy the various light sources to guide the Soul there. Raiko Soul is vulnerable to your attacks, so stay away from it. The skeletons are very hard to kill, so you need to send them flying into the water. There are 2 paths available, by land and by sea. The way by land is full of skeletons whereas the path by sea had some floating stone heads. Basically the enemies on the path by sea is easier to deal with but at certain places, black souls will appear and drain lots of your MP. The way by land had greater perils. Anyway, the choice is

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Giants look to fend off all comers again
The Elmwood Giants are looking to stand tall once again.
After winning the school's first Winnipeg High School Football League championship in the Andy Currie 'A' Division last fall, the Giants are looking to balance the swagger of victory with the humility of facing down a tough gauntlet of opponents once again. Elmwood opens its season at home to the Dryden Eagles at 5 p.m. on Sept. 5.
Head coach Nathan Falk explained the team is looking to fill certain slots as several players graduated after the 14-7 win over the West Kildonan Wolverines to win the division title. The Giants are primarily looking to fill spots along the offensive and defensive lines, though they boast a roster with incumbent quarterback Braydin Chicoine and championship MVP running back/linebacker Shaun Neil.
"We know that we've got targets on our back now and people expect us to be good," Falk said. "The key is that we're not complacent. We've got to work hard to get back to where we were.
"There is a positive attitude. There is a buzz around the program now. It's the first time they've ever won a championship. The goal is to channel that into something constructive."
Neil acknowledged opponents will be gunning for Elmwood, but he's confident in what he and his teammates can do.
"It's going to be harder this year, but I think we're definitely up for the challenge," Neil said. "If we come together as a unit, I can see we'd have no problems going back to back."
Falk said that in contrast to the Giants' nickname that size will be an issue facing the team this year, especially along the lines.
"It's something we're going to have to work with all season long and make adjustments as we go to hide that we are small," he said.
On the other side of the coin, Falk feels Elmwood's biggest asset will be its speed.
Chicoine noted the team can take some inspiration from last season, as the Giants lost to the Wolverines in their regular-season meeting before recovering to take the championship rematch.
"We just looked at that game as fuel to the fire to come out in the championship game," he said.
Free safety Emilio Swampy, a Grade 12 student and team captain, will admittedly be one of the hungrier players on a team hoping to repeat. Swampy missed the championship game with an injury, and after recovering to play this season, will hope to be in uniform for a repeat this fall.
"I want to lead my DBs (defensive backs) to that again and get that feeling," Swampy said. "It makes you want to go even harder."

Delta Music Institute Opens With Peavey Endowment
CLEVELAND, Miss. â Peavey Electronics has endowed a major musical-equipment grant totaling $60,000 to support curricula at the Delta Music Institute, a center for interdisciplinary studies in the music and entertainment industries at Delta State University.
âThe music of the Mississippi Delta has influenced countless musicians around the world, and it inspired my lifelong passion for making the tools that allow us to create music,â? said Hartley Peavey, founder and CEO of Meridian-based Peavey Electronics Corporation, one of the worldâs largest makers of music and sound equipment. âI hope that this endowment will act as a bridge to link the rich musical legacy of the Delta region to the next generations of music professionals.â?
Music-industry veteran Tricia Walker, director of the Delta Music Institute, said that the Peavey endowment will bolster the programâs burgeoning live audio production department, providing students with a rare opportunity to work with state-of-the-art sound reinforcement technology. Students in the Delta Music Institute demonstrated the gear during its grand opening celebration, held March 7 and 8 on the campus of Delta State University in Cleveland.
âWe are very grateful to receive such generous support from Peavey Electronics,â? said Walker. âAs one of the worldâs largest makers of musical equipmentânot to mention a technology leader with more than 180 patents to its creditâPeavey stepped up with a complete sound-reinforcement package that will be instrumental in our studentsâ success at the Delta Music Institute.â?
The endowment includes a sound-reinforcement system featuring the Peavey Versarray⢠line-array loudspeaker system, the ribbon-loaded, high-fidelity sound system used on the 2008 and 2009 Rockstar® Energy Drink Mayhem Tours and the 2008 Tim McGraw Live Your Voice Tour. The endowment also includes a Peavey 32FX⢠analog mixer with fully digital processing; Peavey QW® and SP⢠Series monitors; Peavey VSX⢠loudspeaker management systems; Feedback Ferret® processors with patented feedback elimination technology; assorted cabling; and an array of microphones that will pull double duty in the DMIâs studio program.
âBuilding on the tradition of Mississippiâs undeniable musical history, this gift will support the creative dreams of the next generation of young musicians,â? added Walker. âThe Delta Music Institute, with its entrepreneurial and interdisciplinary approach to studying the music and entertainment industries, serves to advance the musical culture that is alive and well in Mississippi.â?

sally_growerMay 31, 2012
In the picture right after Lakeside Cindy Cee, close to the front of the picture, what is the light green hosta, in the pot, with the very wavy edges. I think I'm in love and I have to add it to my wish list of 'big yellow wavy'
It's beautiful, as is your entire garden. Thanks sally

A young couple went out West to seek their fortune with nothing but a single trusty hound and the clothes on their backs. By the time they got there though, the opportunities had all but dried up. Wealthy ranchers had claimed all the good land, and, in the towns, new businesses had to answer to both the greedy banks and to the local crime boss. Desperate, the couple turned to a life of crime. They've attempted to steal a cart loaded with barrels of whiskey. But, misfortune has struck, and the horse has broken free, leaving them stranded in a field as a posse approaches. Now they must prepare to defend themselves. They are about to learn the hard lesson that, in life, the poor rarely get away with stealing from the rich. For...
I am a forty-something living in the Metro-Atlanta area -- one of the few people who was actually born and raised here. I'm married and have two sons. By day, I am a senior software engineer at a small company that specializes in geolocation software. But, by night I am a 3D render artist. I have dual degrees from the University of Georgia, one in Computer Science, the other in Fine Art. So, it seems only natural that I attempt to combine the two by producing art using a computer. Plus, I find that it's a bit more practical than painting as it doesn't require all of the clean up, harsh chemicals, or expensive supplies. In fact, I have been a render artist since some of the first ray-tracing programs were made publicly available in the...

Nice pit-stop for a bite of lunch in the Historic Centre of Bologna.
Lots of salads to choose from or cured meat/chews platters which are good.
Great service with a smile.
3 Days in Bologna

Best Food in Bologna
Thank you very much for your advice!
We smile very often because we work hard, but we love it!
See you again in Bologna, I hope!
Excellent, friendly service & delicious food. Pleasant surroundings and décor. Would definitely recommend it
thank you very much for your advisor! We hope to see you soon again.
this restaurant had well prepared, fresh, and reasonably priced food. the service was excellent. the best part of the meal was the home made rolls. like beignets, without the sugar. am still dreaming about them.
gorgeous setting as well.
Thank you very much. You are very nice.....
Tranquil venue ideal for hot summer days and evenings. The menu is compact but with enough variety to satisfy my picky family. Our dishes were well prepared with an elegant twist to some all time favorites. I can recommend the cheese platters and cold cut hams and salamis.
The owner/manager was utterly charming and one large group of local friends/colleagues...
Thank you sir for your nice advise. I'm very happy you and your family enjoyed your night at "Il Caffè della Corte"!
We stumbled across this hidden gem in Bologna. Ordered a salumi platter and a cheese platter and 2 glasses of wine and everything was fabulous. Couldn't have asked for more variety or higher quality. Frankly blew Tambourini away. Lovely uncrowded setting, linen covered tables, friendly service.
Thank you very much for your comment on tripadvisor. We are very pride of our "salumi"!!!!! See you again in Bologna! Silvia
The restaurant is located close to city center and was open on Easter Sunday... The food was reasonable and affordable, although the cheese platter was on the expensive side (15 Euros). The service was nice but the waitresses could not speak English.
Thank's for your visit. Not all our staff speak a fluent english, it's true....
That's probably the reason of your disappointment about the price of the selection of cheeses. It's a very fine selection with jam and crescentine included.
Nobody explained you which kind of specialities you were eating. I'm very sorry...
In fact we serve cheese seasoned in the...
Dinner meal with family - lovely courtyard setting - very pleasant and attentive waiting staff. Food was very good - crostini, tomato/mozzarella salad and great pasta dishes - excellent wine list. Lovely evening.
We are very happy about your visit in Corte Isolani. Thank you very much for your review.
we have been here before once for lunch which was an excellent experience. last night we attended again. it was not terrible but not up to the previous standard. service was slow, an expensive bottle of wine not properly chilled. a pasta was not al dente but undercooked. Despite asking I am still waiting for a napkin. The waiting staff...
I really don't image what happened that night! The moon? The heat?? The tiredness?
I can't remember you, the couple of tourists from Australia who asked for a napkin, but I hope we will have another opportunity with you! best regards. Silvia
This place is to discover.It's a little bit hidden inside courtyard,but it's real tresure,staff is very nice,the quality of drinks and meal is very high and you can easily relax.Recommended!
Thank's a lot, for your visit and for your comment about your experience at "Il Caffè della Corte"!
See you again in Bologna.
Silvia Villani
Maybe it was the basement setting or the nondescript menu or maybe it was because it was Sunday night and perhaps chef's night off, I don't know. All to say, I had a salami and cheese plate which I could have done back at my apartment, pasta bolognese which was good but not great. My companion had a limp lettuce...

Runes for casters and runes for physical?
I've just unlocked my last champ that I currently want for the moment (Veigar) and now, I'm gunna try and get 2 working T3 pages of runes. I want a page for nuking casters and more support casters in general (Soraka, Veigar, Fiddlesticks and Annie mainly) and then a page for playing tanks and physical dps (Tristana, any tank that I play, ect ect)
But I don't know which runes, and I don't want to spend 800 IP and a PoS rune. Thanks.
For each of these character types, you're probably going to need a different page of runes.
Get 6% Cooldown reduction (with 9% from a 9-0-21 spec, you get 15% and thus 40% with golem)
A bit of MP/5
The rest Magic Penetration
You could give her a standard tank page or some combination of that and Cooldown reduction.
The way I play her, I get 40% -CD from my items, so I stack HP/5 and MP/5
Armor, HP, MR, HP/5, MP/5, -CD never hurt
Physical DPS:
Crit Chance, Crit Damage, Attack Speed, or Armor Pen
I just finished my second rune book, so I have a reasonable set for casters and for physical/tanks.
Marks (red): all +crit chance for physical, all magic penetration for caster
Seals (yellow): all +dodge % for physical, all +hp/level for casters
Glyphs (blue): all - cooldown for both (I haven't finished my AP set, but I find -cooldown arguably better for many casters anyway)
Quintessence (purple): all +39hp (118 extra hp early game is pretty nice for everyone as a placeholder, I'll go for some alternate quints later as I build IP)
I know that Annie and Soraka don't quite mix together with runes, but I'm lazy about them, so either will do.
Is armor pen or Crit dmg/chance better to get as a general physical charictar? I play Tristana mainly, and I buy a Phantom Dancer ASAP, so I'm thinking Crit chance or crit dmg.
Is ap per level no good for casters then, or is Magic pen just better in general for casters?
as far as your other question, armor pen is very random in it's value. It's great for a physical dps that does almost all auto-attack damage, but if you switch to one that uses a lot of abilities 50-95% of your damage might be "magic", which armor pen doesn't benefit. I like +crit chance as it's generally seems to be useful for most physical dps... then again, the same thing applies in that most abilities can't crit, with the exception of parrlay, so my logic might be flawed. Crit damage is better than crit chance if you tend to hit over 100% crit chance typically.
AP per level is no good on damaging casters, Magic Pen is straight-up better. Someone elsewhere did the calc when they changed Sorc Shoes.
"Let's say you're using Annie's incinerate. At level 5 (rank 3), it's 170 damage with .6 scaling. If they have 30 magic resistance, and you had the OLD sorc boots, it would be (170+(33*.6))*.77 to get your damage, or 146.15 damage on your disintegrate. With new sorc boots, it would be 170 * .909, or 154.5 damage. You gain 8 damage. And that's early game.
Then, once you get your very first ability power item, you start gaining better benefits. The moment you pick up amplifying tome, this happens: taking rank 4 of disintegrate, it's (215+((33+20)*.6))*.77 or 190 damage vs (215+(20*.6))*.909 or 206.3 damage.
They are now 100% better than old Sorc boots."
So even a slightly lower amount of MPen is better than AP. This is for the same reason that Crit Chance/Damage are better than straight damage on Physicals: you're increasing the percentage of your damage, making it very powerful for the whole game. AP will only ever give you flat damage per point, and depending on your ratio it's not even a whole point of damage per point of AP. Every point of MPen reduces the amount of damage you need to do to a character to kill them, so the higher their HP gets, the more effective it is.

WANTED: San Antonio Plant Swap/March 7th
lavernialadybug(8B)February 25, 2009
We are having a plant swap at the Schultze House on HemisFair Plaza March 7th from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Last year we had too many aloe, agave, cactus and ask those not be brought. We use the same procedure as at the Plant Festival - a ticket a plant (or two or three if the plant is larger or unusual). If you would rather not take home what you brought, we donate them to the Schultze House. The Schultze House and Gardens are taken care of by volunteers, most of us are with the Bexar County Master Gardeners and we welcome questions. Hope you can join us. If you need directions, please let me know and I'll find the link to the AG office.

The Space
Walk 6 minutes or ride a rented motorbike along a tropical river path (and then up 30 steps) to our second architect designed loft-like antique joglo (traditional Javanese teak house). Jazmin is set in the rice paddies of Penestanan, one rice paddy away from our other home, Passiflora: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/58045 Our village has no car access or car sounds but many sounds of geckos, roosters, frogs and collared kingfisher birds, and it is still walking distance away from Ubud (20 minutes).
Jazmin, like Passiflora is a reclaimed antique joglo brought in timber by timber from Java. Though similar, each of the joglos has its own personality and I have taken care to design every detail ( i am an architectural designer) to make sure that your stay in one these old transformed houses is a one of a kind experience in luxurious, simple, ecological living (read some of the reviews).
And now we have a shared salt water pool for our guests! Yay!
As you walk into Jazmin, you'll be taken by the the super spacious loft -like feel (1000 sq. ft. /90 meters square) with the added pleasure of a antique teak timber roof above your head (25 ft./ 8 meters) and all reclaimed wood panels, carvings and doors! We have re used every board.
The roof is made of handwoven grass. But the sensibility is modern with an emphasis on comfort. There is no villa quite as uniquely in touch with nature as Passiflora and Jazmin in Penestanan.
Read on the daybed on the verandah, have a conversation in the living room then have a nap in the bedroom on the king-sized super comfortable bed overlooking the family temple. The kitchen is perfect for cooking: polished concrete countertops and reclaimed wood cabinet doors. At night, the bedroom locks up for privacy and safety, but the living room stays open for maximum connection with nature. You can practice yoga comfortably in so many spots and later bathe under the stars in the sunken tub. Made and Made will pamper you with healthy breakfasts of our homemade yogurt and fruit or black rice pudding. I'll leave you my list of my favorite secret spots and restaurants. I am also writing up my suggestions for must sees on 3 day stay, a five day stay and a 7 to 10 day stay.
Honeymoon couples love Jazmin, however I also love staying in the joglos by myself and it's also a wonderful experience as a family. We are situated at the end of the path and are protected by Kadek's family in the Balinese compound below. Our homes are the only two in Penestanan rice paddies which are connected to family temples.
Like Passiflora, this is a truly unique experience for FIT folks who want to be in touch with the Bali of rice farmers in the most natural but still luxurious way! Enjoy!

Enjoy jazmin as though she were your own house. Sri, Made and Made have the day off on Sunday.
Wonderful stay at this splendid balinese villa! We spent the most relaxing 3 days at this house, and had even the chance to experience the quietness of Nyepi day, the balinese new year.
Communication was flawless and the welcome and service during the stay was perfect as well.
Highly recommended!
Alejandra and her staff made us feel extremely welcome. Every detail was attended to, nothing out of place, no request too hard. The house itself is lovely, and it is clear that a lot of thought and care has been put into its design and upkeep. We both had a fantastic time here, and would highly recommend Alejandra's place. An excellent location to relax, unwind and enjoy Ubud's natural environment in peace.
Alejandra's house was absolutely beautiful - better than the pictures! I love the indoor outdoor space and every detail is perfectly chosen. It is private and very picturesque amongst the rice paddies. We spent 3 lovely days lounging about, exploring the area (everything is walking distance)' visiting Alej's recommended restaurants, and just relaxing. I highly recommend this unique property and hope to go back sometime soon!
Great space - great location. It was awesome to escape into this beautiful home for 5 days out of our trip in Bali. It's really close to everything but feels so secluded. Ubud was a really special place and being in this home with nature so close really added another element. Alejandra was great as well. The breakfast every morning was awesome. Overall it was a great experience, I would recommended this place over a standard villa or hotel - it's very unique and serene.
Very beautiful property and I love how serene the surrounding was. We should have stayed for another few nights but due to tight timeline we only stayed for a night and bought back dinner from nuris to enjoy the villa more.
We felt well taken care of and thank you so much for sharing your beautiful villa.
The preetist place I ever stayed . It is made on a bit height . No one can imagine that there could be such a place up there . Alejandra has taken care of every minute details and loved the way instructions she has given . So it made the trip quite simple .
The staff there is very helpful too .
Given a chance I would love to come back and stay there for longer time :)
Surreal and magical jogolo in the middle of paddy fields. Every aspect of the house seems to have been thought of carefully. The photographs are not enough to put across the sheer beauty of this place. A little distance (20 minutes by scooter) from Ubud town this is one of those few remaining silent zones where you'd hear the frogs croak and the birds chirp. And did I tell you about the fireflies! We were received by our host Sri right where the car dropped us. And she made every effort to make us feel welcome even when we overslept and she would be kind enough to drop by 3 times but not wake us! Take care of this place. I have seen very few places which are as beautiful and thoughtfully done. :)
This host has 120 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
I am a world wanderer and have lived and designed in many countries. But so far Indonesia, specifically Bali is my favorite.. (12 years and counting). Two years ago my beloved Jaime, who is a psycholgist from Vermont and a passionate meditator, joined me, so now my paradise is much sweeter.
My passion is making spaces a delight for the senses: visually poetic, dream-friendly, a few nice spots for kissing, a simple table for the sharing of food, a comfortable spot for intriguing conversation, a moon viewing corner.
In the last years I've been having a love affair with old 120 year old teak structures from Java called joglos and limasans. I go to Java myself and select the structures in the villages. Then we bring them back and start working on a design that works within the limitations of these extraordinary structures.
If you have a love attack and would like a joglo of your own in Bali... let me know...
we can show you what we are working on...
