Even if that relevance wasn't really there, things 'looked' similar enough that we could totally relate. And I get that non sailors probably would never get hooked on that venue, whereas they might now with this new generation.
But what happens if someone gets all wound up to get into sailing and then finds out the real deal for most of us is NOTHING like what they watched on TV...
The short prestart, lack of sail handling and sail changes are key things that I think sailors will miss with these big cats.
Excellent points.
After reading this thread last night, I swore I would have nothing to do with watching it. Ended up watching it anyway.
While speeds of 40 knots are breath taking; and the excitement was there. The sailors who I know (even the racers) don't need crash helmets. As you suggested, we can all "relate" to what was done with the mono hulls, even if it was beyond our budget.
I also wonder how non-sailors find the TV coverage? My wife and I both sail, so we had a general understanding of what was happening. However, we are cruisers and didn't always "get" the racing terms. Wonder how non-sailors found that?
I don't particularly care who wins. Team Oracle would be a US fan favourite. However, if the Kiwis win, we all know that the cup will be going where it is hugely appreciated.
Meanwhile, many thanks for a fun thread.

Dear Justin Bieber,
We were so excited when we heard the news! We couldn't wait for you to bring the Believe Tour to us! Our hotels were vying for your stay, our clubs were waiting for you to drop dollars, and our beaches were waiting for you tan your baby skin. It's not every day that we get to host one of the biggest global pop stars, and we were ready and willing. And then things just took a sad, sad turn...

A common migration path from standalone MySQL/Percona Server to a Percona XtraDB Cluster (PXC) environment involves some measure of time where one node in the new cluster has been configured as a slave of the production master that the cluster is slated to replace. In this way, the new cluster acts as a slave of […]

Encrypted and incremental MySQL backups with Percona XtraBackup
We've recently received a number of questions on how to implement incremental MySQL backups alongside encryption with Percona XtraBackup. Some users thought it was not initially possible because with the default --encrypt options with XtraBackup, all files will be encrypted, but alas, that is not the case. This is where the option --extra-lsn-dir becomes useful, […]
Incremental backups with log archiving for XtraDB
Percona Server 5.6.11-60.3 has introduced a new feature called Log Archiving for XtraDB. This feature makes copies of the old log files before they are overwritten, thus saving all the redo log for a write workload. When log archiving is enabled, it duplicates all redo log writes in a separate set of files in addition […]
Feature in details: Incremental state transfer after a node crash in Percona XtraDB Cluster

This feature was available even in previous release, but now I want to give some details. So, MySQL crashes from […]
What Are Full, Incremental, and Differential Backups?
Sometimes you might hear people talk about full backups, and differential backups versus incremental backups. What is the difference? A full backup is pretty self-explanatory. It makes a copy of all of your MySQL data. A differential backup, on the other hand, simply records the differences since your last full backup. The advantage of taking […]
Avoiding auto-increment holes on InnoDB with INSERT IGNORE
Are you using InnoDB tables on MySQL version 5.1.22 or newer? If so, you probably have gaps in your auto-increment columns. A simple INSERT IGNORE query creates gaps for every ignored insert, but this is undocumented behaviour. This documentation bug is already submitted. Firstly, we will start with a simple question. Why do we have […]
Conflict Avoidance with auto_increment_increment and auto_increment_offset
A lot of people are running MySQL Master-Master replication pairs in Active-Passive mode for purpose of high availabilities using MMM or other solutions. Such solutions generally have one major problem – you have to be very carefully switching writes as if you do not do it atomically (such as some scripts continue to write to […]
Sharing an auto_increment value across multiple MySQL tables (revisited)
A couple of weeks ago I blogged about Sharing an auto_increment value across multiple MySQL tables. In the comments, a few people wrote in to suggest alternative ways of implementing this. I just got around to benchmarking those alternatives today across two large EC2 machines:
Sharing an auto_increment value across multiple MySQL tables
The title is SEO bait – you can't do it. We've seen a few recurring patterns trying to achieve similar – and I thought I would share with you my favorite two: Option #1: Use a table to insert into, and grab the insert_id:
CREATE TABLE option1 (id int not null primary key auto_increment) engine=innodb;
# each insert does one operations to get the value:
INSERT INTO option1 VALUES (NULL);
# $connection->insert_id();
Option #2: Use a table with one just row:
CREATE TABLE option2 (id int not null primary key) engine=innodb;
INSERT INTO option2 VALUES (1); # start from 1
# each insert does two operations to get the value:
UPDATE option2 SET id=@id:=id+1;
SELECT @id;
Just how useful are binary logs for incremental backups?
We've written about replication slaves lagging behind masters before, but one of the other side effects of the binary log being serialized, is that it also limits the effectiveness of using it for incremental backup. Let me make up some numbers for the purposes of this example: We have 2 Servers in a Master-Slave topology.

In praise of... Apollo and HyacinthusLeader: Here's an enjoyable question for readers to consider: what is the best way to mark Mozart's 250th anniversary this year?
Country diaryMelrose
Corrections and clarificationsIn our obituary of George Psychoundakis, page 35, February 21, we said that Patrick Leigh Fermor parachuted into Crete to help organise the resistance. In fact he arrived at Crete by sea. We said Leigh Fermor "filched" from the British School in Athens the exercise books in which Psychoundakis had written his memoir of the Nazi occupation. In fact he first saw them in 1951 when Psychoundakis himself showed them to him. The villages in the Amari valley were not burned in reprisal for the kidnapping of the German General Kreipe; he had been kidnapped several months earlier.
Cleared but luckyLeader: In what is already one of the classic political quotes of 2006, Tessa Jowell's husband David Mills told the Sunday Telegraph last month that he looked in the mirror each morning and declared: 'You are a complete idiot, but you are not a crook.'
Ming and his mandateLeader: At first sight, the Liberal Democrat leadership election of 2006 appears to have produced an almost identical result to the last one, which took place back after Paddy Ashdown stepped down in 1999.
Leaders and replies p40
Taking up armsLetters: Flaws in existing controls on the global arms trade have allowed for tragic and disastrous consequences - in this case, according to Oxfam, armoured vehicles being used to perpetrate serious human rights abuses in Uganda.
Giving power back to the peopleLetters: The Power inquiry's report is quite right to call for citizens to be given the right to raise their own issues under the Citizens' Initiative.
Postcode should be no bar to treatmentLetters: Dr Paul Godwin claims that for non-occupational exposures to HIV, an expert is needed on call 24 hours a day to assess each case (Letters, March 1). This is not necessarily so.
Charities have a role in trust schoolsLetters: As leaders of national charities and voluntary organisations, we believe that the government's education bill provides for new partnerships with schools which will create further possibilities to make a contribution to improving attainment and opportunities for young people.
Europe's shifting alliancesLetters: Contrary to Caroline Jackson's statements a move by David Cameron's Conservatives outside the European Peoples' party is the only logical, coherent and honest policy available.
Protect our freedomsLetters: DD Guttenplan (Letters, March 1) misconstrues what I have said about the classic liberal arguments for freedom of speech.

Partisan discord finds roots in toss-up districts
Some might argue that Chabot's popularity with GOP primary voters would free him to edge toward the political center, in search of independent voters who can prove crucial in November general elections. Indeed, his town hall meetings - in contrast to some that are dominated by flag-waving tea partyers - drew a smattering of political moderates urging bipartisan cooperation.
Chabot, unfailingly polite and soft-spoken, stuck to positions embraced by his fierier, take-no-prisoners colleagues.
One woman said she supports "responsible gun ownership" and "sensible gun laws." She said she supports background checks on all gun buyers, and restrictions on military-style weapons.
Chabot offered the same reply he gave later to a woman who said the only difference between a free person and a slave "is a gun." He's unlikely to support any new gun laws, Chabot said, because criminals would ignore them, and there are already enough laws on the books.
When a man asked Chabot why he called Obama's 2010 health care law "a takeover" instead of a Supreme Court-backed act of Congress, the congressman replied: "I consider it a government takeover." The only reason it hasn't been overturned, Chabot said, is because "we just don't have the votes."
At an evening town hall meeting in the North Bend suburb of Cincinnati, Bill Groll agreed with Chabot on just about everything. Groll, a retired engineering technician for General Electric, said both parties in Washington should work together to shrink the deficit.
"The Republicans are trying," he said in an interview, "but the Democrats won't let them."
Groll, 62, said there's no need to raise taxes, even if it's the price Democrats demand for slowing the growth of entitlement programs. "Social Security is not really an entitlement," Groll added. "You pay into it. It's like an insurance thing."
As Chabot's hour-long session continued, chances for bipartisan agreements seemed to dim.
"The food stamp program is replete with waste and fraud and abuse," Chabot said, citing programs he says can stand deeper spending cuts. Money spent on public housing, he said, should go toward reducing the deficit.
When a man asked, "is Obama working toward a socialist country?" Chabot replied, "He would say no."
But the United States is becoming more like Europe, the congressman added, so "we're getting pretty close."

"Happy Birthday to You" is one of the best known songs in the world, but one rarely hears it in a movie or on TV.
There is a monetary reason for this: "Happy Birthday To You" is copyright protected, and to use it can cost a producer as much as $30,000.
It is incredible to me that the song is not in the public domain, but this is one of those strange stories born at the intersection of popular music and copyright law.
The tune was written for a song "Good Morning to All" in 1893 by Louisville kindergarten teachers Patty and Mildred Hill.

Why Fake Nicolas Cage Movies Got Shopped at Cannes
This story first appeared in the June 13 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
How many movies can Nicolas Cage make, anyway? At May's Cannes film market, the actor, who has been teased by Saturday Night Live for taking dubious roles, was ubiquitous as sales agents touted as many as a half-dozen new Cage films. But alarm bells went off in his camp because several were projects on which he already had passed.
Cage, 50, has not had a live-action smash since 2007's National Treasure: Book of Secrets ($457.4 million worldwide), but he remains a star foreign distributors will bet on, so sales agents use his name to presell Cannes movies such as The Trust, a crime drama to be directed by music-video veterans Alex and Ben Brewer; the supernatural thriller Pay the Ghost; and The Runner, a political drama directed by indie producer Austin Stark. But at Cannes, other projects boasted of the actor's participation, even though he's not involved: Hannibal Classics was offering 5 Minutes to Live, about a banker whose wife will be killed unless he wires $10 million to kidnappers, and Red Squad, director John McTiernan's first film since his release from prison Feb. 25. Dark Highway, another thriller, turned out to be bogus.
PHOTOS: Cannes Carpet -- The Most Glamorous Gowns at the Fest
"It floods the market with product that's not necessarily 100 percent real," says Mike Nilon, Cage's longtime manager. "If there are six or seven projects being talked about by any actor, then it dilutes the purchase price. If I came to you and said, 'Would you like a steak dinner?', you'd probably say yes. If I offered you eight, you'd probably say no." But Hannibal CEO Richard Rionda Del Castro contends Cage was keen on Red Squad. "Then, for whatever reason, Nic walked away just before Cannes. Nonetheless, Nic and [McTiernan] spoke last week, and we're proposing a new project for them." According to Del Castro, Cage's decision came too late to change the Cannes promo materials for Red Squad, as well as 5 Minutes to Live: "The producer had a window in which to make the movie, and Nic couldn't do it."
Such stories are common in the foreign sales business. "Everybody wants the same 12 to 15 guys. It's a nightmare," says Del Castro. Adds Nilon: "An offer is made to an actor, and then he passes, but the word gets out that he's still attached. It's frustrating."

I'm a beginner climber, looking to put together equipment to get going on some sport routes and I need a good rope. I've heard Petzl is a good company, but I wasn't sure if I should get a thicker rope (or maybe a less expensive one...). Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'd try and climb on other peoples ropes to get a better feel of what you're looking for to start. If thats not possible, then this is a great rope to start with. As technology becomes better, the thinner ropes are becoming more and more durable. As for the less expensive ropes, you certainly get what you pay for, most of the time. I enjoy petzl ropes, new england, and edelweiss and don't believe you could go wrong with most any of them. The extra money you pay for in this rope also buys you a dry sheath and core which not only blocks water (which might not yet be a concern for you) but also dirt and dust that will break down a non treated rope much faster. Either way, if you'll be craigging a bit, spring for a decent rope bag, or at least keep it on a tarp out of the dirt - it'll last much much longer!

Roma coach Claudio Ranieri has ruled out a Scudetto challenge, despite their victory at Fiorentina yesterday.
A late Mirko Vucinic strike gave the visitors their win.
"There is no such thing as an anti-Inter this season," insisted Ranieri. "There is Inter and that's it. They are too strong and cannot be caught.
"We showed that we know how to survive pressure and emerge unscathed. Julio Sergio was simply extraordinary.
"I also note the performances of Daniele De Rossi, Mirko Vucinic and everyone. They all showed the hunger to win.
"Fiorentina played very well and we were a little lucky, so that always helps."

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DIVIDES SAN Antonio into nine sections which are themselves divided into 98 districts. Each district is permanently assigned to one patrolman, the district officer.
The same officers man these districts every day, except on relief days when the districts mayor may not be filled by each section's two or three relief officers. At any given time at least 85 districts will be filled. The others are left open; the neighboring district men take up the slack.
Fewer men are assigned to the daylight shift, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., when there are fewer drunks and fewer family disturbances. The workhorse shift is the afternoon tour, the 3 to 11. They do it all, and more of it: from accidents to robberies and murder to lost children and stolen bicycles. The peak load spills over into the dog watch (11 at night to 7 in the morning), stretching until sometime between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., depending on what part of town and the day of the week. The shifts rotate every two months.
Whatever the shift, the scene at roll call is much the same. The police station is in downtown San Antonio. In the basement is the large assembly room with the neat rows of classroom desks bolted to the floor. Gallon tin cans with the lids missing sit by each desk in unpainted imitation of the Army's omnipresent butt cans. They are frequently kicked and overturned by careless or restless feet. The room is full of bitching and laughter. There is a sense of kinship that binds even the cynics. Brotherhood is an unspoken rule and only violated with extreme caution.
After roll call, the men leave the gas pump area, where they relieve the shift just coming off duty, and head out to their respective districts. Due to an overworked garage, there is frequently a car shortage and occasionally the men are forced to double up, two district men to one car. The brass dislike this; they say it is an inefficient use of manpower.
At night an off-duty officer rides with the district man in about 20 districts pin-pointed as "high-incident patrol areas" by the city's computers. Police wives forced the City Council into ordering two men to a car after the third officer in less than two years had been killed on duty. The overtime program is merely a stopgap measure. As of this writing, the department's leadership has been slow to carry out the politically popular directive, although rumors persist that they will soon do so.
For the most part, then, the men are alone in the car. They listen to the radio, and answer it when called. Cadets currently ride for a month with another officer after graduating from the police academy. Then they are put alone in the car, like everyone else.
Incident on Commerce Street
HIS VOICE IS LIKE HEAVY gravel banging down a tin chute, and is predictably deep. He is 61 years old, and a hulk of a man over six feet tall. It is his belly you notice first—a swollen river of fat, it pushes and pulls at his belt as he walks, overflowing here and there in rolling, five-pound wrinkles. He is a policeman's policeman, he is fond of saying. He belongs to the past.
He cleared his throat, breaking into a spasm of coughing, and pounded the speaker's stand in front of him once with a white fist. Common knowledge has it only the job is keeping him alive. He boasts that the day he retires will be the day they bury him, but many of his men doubt this, saying the sonofabitch is too mean to die.
"Men, I got a call today. I won't say from who. But I been given to understand that Keith Anthony Brown will be driving round downtown and the East Side today in a 65 Olds four door. It's supposed to be a real dirty white."
The murky assembly room was full of a blue-gray haze, and the isolated non-smokers waved irritably at the drifting clouds of smoke. It was roll call for the 3-11 shift, the old man's shift. He was the senior uniform captain.
The interested men were intently writing down the description of the car. A low murmur of conversation mingled discreetly with the smoke, as some ignored the old man, but they were careful to speak without moving their lips. The old man loved grudges almost as much as he hated blacks. And Keith Anthony Brown was black and the captain's latest project. The robbery detectives thought Brown might be the young suspect who had recently held up a number of supermarkets.
"Now, men, if you happen to see that car today, I want you to stop it and hold all occupants for me personal. Use a little caution with this punk and his friends, cause he's supposed to think he's pretty bad. He shot a couple of times at the manager of the last store he hit."
After roll call, the patrol car left the station and drove through the downtown area, heading for the near East Side where the two men were assigned. One man was a veteran and the other was a rookie. It was the third day they had been together and they were still feeling each other out. It was a delicate period for the new man. He was very eager.
They would ride together for 30 days, then he would be on his own. He welcomed the opportunity of working the East Side with its high crime rate and violence, but the black culture was alien and threatening. He had always hated the thought of being weak and was unwilling to ever admit being afraid. He was only a week out of the academy. His name was Tom Ewell, and he was driving.
The other policeman was sitting relaxed on the other side of the front seat, watching the pedestrians and shoppers on the sidewalks. It was a windy day and he was waiting for a particularly good mini-skirt. His name was

I just can't believe a doc would say, "Oh, you don't want to tear? No prob. Let's schedule major abdominal surgery instead." The hell?!?!?! Is that going to become another medical reason for a c-s -- tearing phobia????

American Metalcraft HC28712 DescriptionSKU: 166-HC28712

American Metalcraft HC28712 Specifications
American Metalcraft HC28712 Customer Reviews
"After receiving and washing, I made a pizza on this pan. Even though the bottom of the pizza dough was liberally coated with corn meal, the pizza dough absolutely welded itself to the pan and across 100% of its surface, and could not be removed without totally destroying the pizza (we were unable to salvage even one square inch of whole pizza). Apparently you need to season or oil these hard coated pans before any use, but there was no instructions about this. I'm afraid to use it again, and am going back to my similar but non-hard coated pan which never sticks."

I'm doing a project, researching best practices used in sites and cross browser testing. I'm doing it specifically on my hobby of watch websites.
I'm looking at them on different browsers and making comments -http://www.omegawatches.com/ – Solid and strong across all http://www.rolex.com/en – Flash website? Will it work on other devices? http://www.hamiltonwatch.com – On smaller screen browsers this site seems not to be optimized http://tissot.ch – Nice and flash but confusing navigation. Will it work on other browsers?
Can anyone help me and just make some comments about these sites and which one is the strongest one in your opinion coming from a coding background? In terms of working across browsers and remaining consistent
Thanks in advance

Randleman and Arlovski need to be put out to pasture.
Randleman and Arlovski need to be put out to pasture.
out to pasture means fighting for strike force
they need to put Gus the announcer out with them. He sux.
WHODINI…Yep…only the best can fight for the UFC. Like Kimbo Slice, James Toney, etc….you UFC only fans are too easy. Victims of fantastic marketing. Now as for the fight; how much of a pu$$y did Rogers look like tonight? This is the same guy who came out so aggressive against the toughest fighter on the planet last time and then was backing and covering up from the moment he heard the opening bell. He was completely afraid of Overeem for some reason. Not that I blame him, but it is just wierd to see that from a guy like Rogers who wasn't afraid at all of Fedor. I just lost all of the respect I gained for him from the Alrovski fight and the first round he had against Fedor.
didnt see it but it doesnt sound like i missed much, a little disappointed overeem didnt lose. Now we will just have to wait another 3 years til he fights fedor.
But Dave, us MMA fans who don't realize that the UFC is the top company are known as UFC haters! UFC is a business and a business likes to make money with guys like Kimbo. Yes, there are good guys outside if the UFC but the UFC is the largest pool of talent and has most of the best fighters. Are you trying to claim otherwise? What top 5 guys are NOT in the UFC? Fedor, Shields, Gilbert… maybe Overeem. That's it! All except Fedor have expressed interest in coming to the UFC because they said they want to fight the best so are they wrong? Only Fedor says crap like "I have nothing to prove" when it's a fact that he does and will probably ask Overeem for an Olympic style drug testing like he's scared lil Gayweather.
*By top 5 I mean of each weight class of course.
anybody who is a genuine fan of mma cannot argue the point that the UFC has the largest pool of talent in every weight class. Bottom line they do its indisputable. Ask anyone to name the best five fighters ever in every weight class. They will name at least 3 to 5 guys that were or are still in the UFC for the majority of or entire career.
I think Overeem has got to be in the top 5 of the HW division. So Strikeforce has some good fighters. Feijao, Mousasi, King Mo, Diaz.
Ding ding ding… I'll challenge you Steveo cause I'm an MMA fan and not just a UFC fan. Name 1 organization that has a more stacked weight division than the UFCs. Don't worry I'll wait! lol
I agree Mikey that Mousasi, King Mo, Diaz are good fighters but not top 5. I never really considered Mousasi to be a top 10 guy just because he never beat a top 10 guy.
To be fair, I've said the same thing about UFC guys like Luiz Cane. Some rankings had him as a top 10 guy before he lost to Lil Nog and he never beat anybody! Like I said, it's funny to me that UFC haters always try to claim MMA fans are UFC fanboys when they're not. They're just telling it like it is which the haters don't like.
heavy artillery sucked ass. i would have rather seen the undercard.
I really enjoyed last nights Strikeforce card and thought the last UFC ppv was one of the best they have had in a while.
I live in Missouri and happen to know that the commission here did a much more comprehensive drug screen than anywhere else in the country. Overeem vs Rodgers was awesome because it showed why mixed martial artists must be multi-dimensional. Rodgers like some other fighters have had great success as a striker,and being in the right place at the right time he got some very lucrative fights that when he won propelled him up to where he had no business being.
Let's face it this dude was changing tires 2 years ago, I wasnt surprised at all that Overeem dominated him, he has been in the fight game for well over a decade, he has experience and skills in submissions,striking,and wrestling. He is 3 dimensional,Rodgers is 1 dimensional, a punchers chance will get you so far,but eventually you get exposed.
As far as Strikeforce sucking last night, what the hell do you want,there were submission wins,knockouts, and decisions. What the hell more can you ask for? All of you ARMCHAIR WARRIORS need to get to a gym and try training MMA. Its alot easier to criticize from the comfort of your couch than it is to actually train and compete in MMA. Anyone with balls enough to compete in MMA should be respected for their hard work and participation in MMA.
Completely agree with Gonzo.
Lets not put Overeem in the top 5 just yet. He beat Brett rogers cmon. He is a great striker and has Intln experience. I like to see him fight Fedor, big foot silva, werdum and than we will see.
Thats true, Rogers should be out of the top 10 after that. Maybe move up Werdum to #9 and put Big Foot at #10. I think Big Foot could ahve won his fight against Werdum.
Why not put Overeem in the top 5, who of the UFC heavyweights have more experience than him. He's pretty fast and has good striking. He finishes fights. He's got 10 sub wins. I'd put him in the top 5.
I agree with mikey I mean top 5 or at least 7. overeem does possess a well rounded ability that most heavyweights don't. Most rely on ground and pound, but to me in order to be a top 5 fighter your going to have to fight more than once every 3 years so we can actually watch some of his fights.
Overeem is the king! Fedor is one of my favourites and has been for a long time. But to compare Fedor vs. Rogers and now Overeem vs. Rogers.
Its a huge difference,
Overeem is east top 3 HW in the world.
I dont say this cause ive seen one fight with him i followed him since his K-1 fights many years back.
Seemed like Rogers eas surprised by the power Overeem was packing.
Ûbereem will be the first HW to beat Fedor. (the cut loss to Fedor was not a real win)
I dont think I would get carried away and put him top 5. I think if your going to be top 5 then you should have to beat some competition that is top 5. He did look good on Saturday but then again he was fighting Brett Rodgers. I have never been impressed with Brett Rodgers. He's a very one dimensional fighter. Also even though he is the Strikeforce heavyweight champion I dont think that really says much. I'm just not impressed with the whole heavy weight division of strikeforce. What I'm really saying in I dont think Overeem should get a big jump in the rating for beating someone like Brett Rodgers.
Aldo, you are right about Rogers, the "only" danger about him is the punching power. But then again i dont think there is any HW that big that can compare with his standup. Overeem is dangerous with punches, knees and kicks. His standup is awesome and not just punches. He also got nasty guillotines and a good ground game.
If he was in the UFC in the shape he is in now – he would have no problem reaching at least a shot at the title.. and carwin.. lesnar… im sorry. But Lesnar is too one dimensional and carwin though he strikes like a mule he does not have the technique of Overeem.
i liked how overeem called out fedor. that kinda prove he's ducking the good fighters. i dont see how you could think otherwise. is the guy fedor's supposed to be fighting any good. i bet strikeforce goes under before they match him up with overeem
Strikeforce on CBS might go under but not the organization. They've got deep pockets. They also cosponsor with M-1 and are in talks to co-sponsor with Bellator.

Cal 21 Keel

Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts
Rep Power:
I have a 1972 Cal T4 that has a fixed keel with 2000 lb of lead at the bottom of the keel. When I had it hauled out 6 months ago I was concerned about the keel bolts because the boat is over 30 years old but she wasn't leaking like yours. I had the guys that were repairing my boat come in and drill down through the bilge to put self- taping threaded stainless steel rods, 8" long, into the lead keel and then had them put washers and stainless steel nuts on. They then encapsulated them in some sort of epoxy to keep the air and moisture out. I had them put two at each end and two in the middle for a total of eight. I am not sure if a Cal 21 has a lead keel or a steel bullet keel like the Cal 20. If it is a lead keel like mine I would recommend not dropping the keel unless you just have to because it will cost you a lot more to do that and replace the bolts than just have more put in like I did. The second option that I looked at was to have them encase the keel in fiber glass but that was going to cost more than putting the bolts in. I think the later model Cal's all had their lead keels encased in fiber glass but I could be wrong. Just an idea, good luck with the keel.

I spent countless hours working on this to make it my best guide ever. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ****************************** < 1.0 Introduction > ************************** =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Here's my first new guide in a long time, I hope you enjoy it. It's for one of my favorite games, Legaia 2: Duel Saga. I'll explain more about everything in the sections directly below this, but let me tell you a little background story about this guide before I start. I originally planned to do a Legaia 2: Duel Saga guide when it first came out, and actually had one up to 174k before my old computer died without warning, and with it went my Legaia: DS guide as well as FF7), before I got a chance to save it! So, this guide won't have as awesome a format as the old one did, but this one will be just as descriptive, if not more, and I will work really hard on it. I hope you enjoy it! - Psycho Penguin +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- +----------------------------- [ 1.1 Author Information ] -------------------+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- Greetings again, this is Psycho Penguin again with another guide. I've been trying to work hard to get guides up for all my favorite games, and so I came to Legaia: Duel Saga. At the time I wrote this, the game had no good guides, so I decided to check it out and see what I could do. My first guide got eaten alive, and my second one's format got messed up halfway through, and I had to reformat every line manually. So, this guide was not my easiest. And I do have quite a few guides and reviews. Writing and gaming are two of my favorite hobbies, as you can tell, but I also enjoy lots of other things. I am really into wrestling and sports, especially playing them. I also love to watch sports, however, and know a lot about them. I do consider myself to be a pretty intelligent guy. ^_^ My favorite game series is Final Fantasy, but I also love the Legend of Legaia series, as well as any good sports games out there. My favorite games of all time are Final Fantasy 7 and Legend of Legaia. Hopefully I'll have guides for both of them up one day (the one I have up for Legaia right now sucks). I hope you enjoy this guide, as well as the rest of mine! +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- +------------------------------ [ 1.2 Game Information ] --------------------+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- Legaia 2: Duel Saga is the sequel to the often overlooked classic, Legend of Legaia. While not being as fun as its predecessor, it offered new gameplay ideas and managed to be a lot more complex. The removal of seru was a bad idea, but the addition of micromanaging of skills and equipment was worthwhile. The battle system did not improve as much as I expected, with the only major additions being variable arts and origin attacks instead of seru attacks. Overall, I was quite pleased with Legaia 2: Duel Saga. It's not the greatest RPG ever, but Contrail really didn't rest on its laurels, providing an entertaining 40-hour game that more than satisfied my craving for a 2nd Legene of Legaia game. +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- +------------------------------ [ 1.3 Guide Information ] -------------------+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- This guide was NOT easy to do. My first time through, I got a big version of the guide going, and then my iMac's monitor died, killing the computer effectively. I decided to start a new one, which is what you see here. The problems didn't end there, however. On this one, my format somehow got messed up, and I had to reformat the entire guide by hand. Every table and line break got messed up, and it took MANY hours to recover. Regardless, I hope you are pleased with this effort, as I struggled to do this, but here it is. I tried to have a comprehensive look at the game, breaking down everything as best as I possibly could. I'm not good at this kind of stuff, and my main strength lies in the walkthrough, as well as statistics, so make sure to check those out, and I hope you enjoy the guide. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ****************************** < 2.0 Game Basics > *************************** =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Yay, the thing I traditionally suck at most is game basics. I tried my best to provide an in-depth look into everything I possibly could.

To the left of the screen, you will see a listing of your current characters, along with their current level, HP, MP, AP, and how much experience they need to get to the main level. The bottom right tells you how long you've been playing, and how much gold you have. Usual stuff. Now for a breakdown of the nine options in the menu. Items: In a somewhat inventive twist not incorporated into a lot of games, due to the high amount of items you'll encounter on your journey, the items are separated into a bunch of different sections. The first section displays all the items in your inventory. The second section displays only potions and draughts. Third section is for all other one-use items. Fourth section is for equippable items, fifth section is for the rest of the items, and the sixth section is for accessories. It's easiest to scroll down to find a particular item by using the L1 and R1 buttons. This scrolls down from one screen to the next, and ends up saving a lot of time. You can also press square to sort out the items in the order you want to. I usually do it by item name, but you can do it however is most comfortable for you. At the bottom of the screen, you can check out the effects of the item.. and that's about it. Origins: This is a pretty straightforward screen.. it basically allows you to check the status of the origins you have in your party. The only statistics you can check out are the Level and EXP of the origin, and the only origin you'll be able to use is Maya's (if you need to heal or whatnot), so you won't find yourself coming to this screen too much during the game. Equip: The main thing to look for here is an item's weight. Each character can only hold a certain amount of weight before going overboard. If a character is equipping items with 91 weight total, and they can only hold 96, they won't be able to use that accessory with a weight of 7. Management is very important. The cool thing about the accessories is that you can equip as many as your weight allows. Another important thing to remember when you go to equip is that each weapon, armor, or accessory will have certain skills attached to it. Skills can range from being very negative (AP Cut 2), to very positive, so determining if that powerful armor with the bad skill is worth equipping is one of the many decisions you have to make while playing through the game. And no, you can't change a weapon or armor's skills. Sorry. Status: Here is where you can check a character's statistics. Everything from Hit Points to Defense (high and Low) can be checked on this screen. If you push L1 and R1, you can scroll through six lists. The origin list shows the origins the character has equipped, as well as how much EXP they have, and what level they are on. Of course, you can check this in Origin screen, but oh well... The next screen over gives a listing of all the art moves the character has learned over the course of the game. The weapons, armor, and accessories the character has equipped are on the next screen, then followed by a listing of the nicknames the character has earned on the following screen. The next two screens are a listing of the skills the character has equipped (and you can also check how they are doing in terms of EXP), and a list of the recipes the character has learned so far. Skills: This is the screen where you can equip offensive and defensive skills. You may come here, and wonder why you can't equip a skill you're learning.. if that's the case, it's auto-equipped. This is for defensive and offensive skills only.. skills like AP Boost are automatically applied. Defensive skills are applied when you select guard.. AP Guard is a nice one to learn, as is HP Guard. Offensive skills are usually applied when you attack, like Kamikaze, which sacrifices defense for offense. You can only equip one at a time. Config, Order, Save, Load: The typical options found in every role playing game ever. Config lets you mess around with the options, like changing the message speed and stuff. Order lets you change the order of the characters. Use Save and Load to *gasp* save and load your game. Shocking stuff, I know. --- STATUS EFFECTS: During battle, your characters will encounter that pesky thing found in every role playing game: status effects. They're just as bad this time around, but you should be used to the status effects you face if you have ever played a RPG before. Here's a brief listing of all the status effects in the game. Poison - Hit Points decrease every round. Venom - Hit Points decrease every round, cannot be recovered. Paralysis - Your character will be unable to do anything. Sleep - Character is put to sleep, preventing an action, defense decreased. Stun - Your character will be unable to do anything. Seal - Blocks off abilities that use MP. Confusion - Changes the directional buttons around.. left becomes right, etc. Spellbind - Art moves are blocked off. Bewitch - Character attacks other party members. Petrify - Basically dead. Won't be able to gain EXP. Berserk - Character automatically attacks, with higher attack power. Blind - Character's accuracy goes way down, will be unable to hit frequently. Fear - Character will automatically guard every round. Plague - HP, MP, and AP go down each round, can be passed to party members. Critical - HP automatically reduced to 1. Downed - HP automatically reduced to 0. Those status effects really suck, huh? Fortunately, there's always ways to heal them, and you can also use them on enemies, who usually won't be able to heal them. Also, you get four special status effects that really help you out. Invincible - You won't endure any damage. Protected - The damage you receive is cut in half. Invisible - Enemy will be unable to see you. Blessed - Attack and defense are doubled. So, you will be able to cope with the negative status effects, and you'll have good status effects to back you up. Doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. --- ITEM COMBINATION: One of the main things added from the original Legend of Legaia to its sequel was the addition of an item combination screen. Basically, you can take a few items and combine them to make new ones. Finding rare items and then combining them leads to even rarer items. You can only get the best weapons and armor from combining, so pay attention, as the process is pretty straightforward, but may take some time to learn. First, you need to have some materials present in order to combine. By the time you get the combine option, you should already have some items, however. Now, to get Combine option, go to the campsite or go to a shop and select the Combine option. A list will open up. The list will show you the items you currently have, and what you need in order to create a new item for it. For instance, let's say you have a Warrior Fauld, and you want to create a new item. You will see in the lower right hand corner that you need a Bodiga Silk Cloth, Liaza Magic Cloth, Earth Dragon Wing, and Wind Spirit Stone. If you have these four items, select okay, and that is that, you have a Violet Fauld just like that. Later on in the game, you can collect 15 Heaven's Secrets by doing side quests. This allows you to get the ultimate weapon and armors for each character. --- HINTS AND TIPS: There are a lot of things to keep in mind when playing this game. Here are a few. - Always keep track of what skills you have equipped. You don't want the Kamikaze skill if you're fighting enemies you know you can't kill in one hit, and you don't want Ayne to have the Turtle skill. - Know when to use AP and when to conserve it. If you are fighting weak enemies, you don't have to go all out on them. Build up AP using normal moves, then save the AP for when you need it. - During battles, you will notice that some enemies are flying, while others are small. Make sure to aim for them. Low attacks won't hit flying enemies, and high attacks won't hurt ground-based enemies. - Always stay stocked up on items, especially healing items and those that cure abnormal statuses. They are inexpensive, and they will always come in handy. - Remember that you can combine art attacks together. Try to find a way to get the maximum amount of hits and attack power from your attacks as possible. - Don't be afraid to use origins. Even the weakest origins can kill a group of enemies that would normally take lots of time to kill. +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- +-------------------------------- [ 2.3 Battle System ] ---------------------+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- Legaia 2: Duel Saga employs the innovative battle system found in its predecessor. You get a wide variety of options to choose from in the game during battles, and my goal is to explain all of this to you as quickly and easily as possible. --- BATTLE OPTIONS: These are fairly easy to figure out once you get the hang of it. When you start off a battle, you get an option on whether you want to run or fight. Afterwards, each character gets to go, either on manual or auto, depending on how you want them. Selecting character commands is relatively painless, here's a quick look at them. Attack - This is your most basic command option, and the one you will be using the most. This allows you to set up in the tactical arts system. More on this in section 2.5 below. Item - This command allows you to choose from a list of items, when you then get to select a character or characters to use it on. Pretty basic stuff here. Origin - This allows you to use magic. More on that below in section 2.6 Defend - Use it to defend in this round, as well as to use any skills that you have equipped that work with the "defend" command. Unlike Legaia, in this game, you don't get AP automatically for defending. Instead, you can equip a skill, which gives you a certain effect when you defend. For instance, one might give you AP back, while others help you recover HP. --- AUTO BATTLE: If you want, you can put the game on auto-battle, and sit back and relax as the characters do their own thing in battle, depending on what tactic you set it on. Here is a list of the four tactics in this game: Aggressive Attack - Concentrate solely on killing the enemies by using your strongest arts attacks, depending on how much AP you have left. Good for non- boss enemies, as well as enemies you know you can kill fairly easily. I use this tactic most of all, as it's the most simple and effective one. Standard Attack - This is also an excellent tactic to use. Not only will you attack enemies using art commands during battle, but your characters will take the time to heal themselves when they have to. This is usually better to use than even Aggressive Attack, as the chances of perishing during battle are much lower. Recover/AP Up - Just like the tactic says, this one focuses solely on recovering your party and getting their AP up. This is a good tactic to use early on in a boss fight, or a tough battle, as you can basically stay alive for a while until you get enough AP to do a variable art. Recover - Characters will take priority on healing themselves, followed by guarding and attacking when the time is right. This is good if you want to have a defensive-style battle, but usually I avoid using this tactic as much as possible, due to the relative length of battles it provides. --- ELEMENTS: Elements work pretty much the same way they always do. If an enemy has a different element than the one you attack it with, it will do greater damage, blah blah, we all know this already, right? --- WINNING BATTLES: Once you have completed a battle, each character, as well as origin, will get EXP. EXP is not divided amongst everyone, so leveling up is a little bit easier in this game than normally. You also get GP, which is used to buy weapons, armors, items, etc. +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- +------------------------------------ [ 2.4 Arts ] --------------------------+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- The Arts attack system makes a grand return from Legend of Legaia, and is done so in style. The similarities are immediately known and seen. For one, you have to input button commands. Combining these button commands unlock moves called "Arts". Therefore, the Arts system makes the Legend of Legaia system feel more like a fighting game and not a typical RPG battle system. Once you unlock an art move, the combination of buttons is put into a menu. For instance, if you pushed Down Down Up, and that was an art move, it will show up in your menu, that you can select by pushing the triangle button when you are inputting your button commands. Each move will show up in the order that the game processes them. The order goes like this: Variable Miracle Super Then they are listed by the amount of button commands you have to input in order to do the move. Four-button moves are higher on your list than three- button moves. The cool thing about these moves is that you can combine them together. If you have six button spaces to input, you can do 2 3-button moves in your turn. Also, let's say one move ends with Down, and the next move starts with Down. You can combine those moves by inputting only ONE Down button command. If it's Up-Up-Down and Down-Left-Right, you can combine them together by using Up-Up- Down-Left-Right. You just did two moves in five spaces. Knowing how to do this and using this to your advantage will go a long way, due to the extra hits you will get. There are several types of arts moves: Your regular art attacks are basic moves that do a decent amount of damage, and gain you AP. Super art attacks are more powerful, but you lose AP from doing them. Miracle arts take 100 AP, and you need half HP or less to do them. They are extremely powerful, though. Variable arts are awesome double team moves, but both people need to have 100 AP and perform their variable art command inputs. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- *************************** < 3.0 Other Information > ************************ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Here is a listing of all the characters in Legaia 2, as well as some FAQs I see asked all the time. +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- +----------------------------- [ 3.1 Characters ] ---------------------------+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-- Here is a listing of all the characters in Legaia 2, as well as a description of them I put together just for you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | LANG | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Lang is the prototypical hero of the game. You may think | Age: 17 | | he is one thing at first, but due to the game's many | Height: 5'9" | | twists and surprises, he ends up being something | Weight: 147 | | completely different. In battle, he is one of the most | Weapon: Sword | | versatile characters, as he has a perfect blend of speed | | | and power. His arts attacks are powerful, and can be | | | combined together for some devastating attacks. He | | | levels up quite well, as his statistics are blended in | | | perfectly the entire game. You are forced to use him the | | | whole game, but you gladly will once you see how good he | | | is in battle. | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | MAYA | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Maya starts off the game as a mute, as you wonder what | Age: 14 | | happened to her that prevents her from coming out of her | Height: 5'1" | | shell. Once she does so, she becomes an awesome party | Weight: 103 | | member. She doesn't use a weapon, so equipping her is | Weapon: Magic | | not a problem at all. She instead attacks with powerful | | | magic, and later in the game she becomes a devastating | | | force. Her healing origin will also come in handy many | | | times throughout the game. Of course, she does have some | | | disadvantages. You need to learn what enemy is weak | | | against what type of magic for her to be truly effective.| | | However, once you do so, she is awesome. | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | KAZAN | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Kazan used to be a noble and brave swordsman who was | Age: 60 | | quite adept at sword attacks and special sword art | Height: 6'5" | | skills. However, he suffered through a severe tragedy | Weight: 229 | | that made him question the blade, so now he attacks with | Weapon: Fists | | his fists instead. However, you will be quite glad he | | | does so, because he is one of the best characters in the | | | entire game. He's got great agility, and his art attacks | | | are amazingly powerful. His magic is somewhat weak, but | | | very useful because it is basically an added benefit to | | | his impressive array of physical attacks. He is a wise | | | person, a strong attacker, and a great character. | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | SHARON | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Sharon is a normal character when you first meet her, | Age: 20 | | but you will soon discover that she is the daughter of a | Height: 6'0" | | well-known pirate. Her fighting style definitely shows | Weight: 132 | | this, as she uses her saber with force and has an | Weapon: Saber | | agility that is unrivaled by any other character in the | | | game. In addition to the fact she can get off moves | | | quickly, she gains a lot of art blocks, and has some | | | powerful art attacks. Plus, her Arrode origin is thunder | | | based and will prove to be quite useful many times | | | throughout your journey. She is an outstanding character | | | and is one of my favorites for boss fights. | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | AYNE | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Ayne is the prototypical giant, slow, axe-wielding | Age: 23 | | character of the game. So, you basically know what you | Height: 8'8" | | are going to get if you decide to use him. A powerful | Weight: 643 | | attacker, with no magic and a lack of any agility. He | Weapon: Axe | | almost always attacks last, and his lack of art blocks | | | was a really big concern for me throughout the entire | | | game. However, he is an extremely powerful attacker who | | | can use his limited art blocks to great lengths, doing | | | more damage than any other character in the entire game. | | | Plus, he has skills which let you upgrade statistics | | | during battle. I never used him much, though. | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-+ +-------------------------------- [ 3.2 FAQ's ] -----------------------------+ +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+-+ Don't forget to email me with any questions if you have them. I am purely guessing on these, and they might not be frequently asked after all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. Is this game a lot like Legend of Legaia? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: I already answered this in my review to a certain extent, but I will expand on it now. This game is a lot like Legend of Legaia, but it has some differences that keep it from being as classic and fun as the original. The storyline is all new, as are the characters. The seru are now gone, replaced with a boring origins system that you've seen a thousand times before. The battle system remains largely the same, the only differences are the new art attacks, and the new origins system. The big difference is the addition of skills to each weapon, accessory, and armor, that you can learn and become a kick ass fighting machine by the end of the game. Legaia 2 definitely feels like more of a typical RPG than its predecessor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2. Why the **** can't Maya fight? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: She can later on, you know. Just be patient for now. Once she is able to regain her speaking, she can start using her magic to attack in battle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Why can't I use hyper arts yet? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: In order to use hyper arts, you first have to learn them, either from books, or from leveling up other arts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4. How do I get the ultimate weapon? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: Have Lang get his "Master Blacksmith" nickname by combining items a good 30 or 40 times, then talk to Kenjiro in Derek's Haunt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5. Where is the secret market? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: Buy several hundred thousand gold worth of stuff from Menjiro in Nohl after winning the flying dragon in Phorchoon, and he will tell you where the secret market is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. How do I get monster meat? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: There is a piece of it in the Darakin Citadel basement, as well as being able to trade items in Jinga. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7. What does the CHA statistic do? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: The CHA statistic affects the chances of your party successfully escaping from a battle. The higher the number, the more of a chance you have of escaping. Each party member has a separate CHA statistic, add them together and you have the chances of escaping battle right there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8. How do I perform a Variable Art? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: Two characters have to perform the command that enables them to combine for the variable art. Both characters need a mininum of 80 AP to be able to perform the move. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9. How many Heaven's Secrets are there in the game? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: There are 15 of them.. 3 for each character's ultimate weapon and 2 pieces of armor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10. What are Heaven's Secrets? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: Heaven's Secrets are rare materials that enable you to create ultimate weapons and armors for your characters. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11. So, how do I get them? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A: By performing the various side quests in the game. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ****************************** < 4.0 Speed Walkthrough > ********************* =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Here is a speed, spoiler free walkthrough for those looking for the basics on how to complete the game and don't need major details. ^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^= ------------------------------------- NOHL ----------------------------------- ^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^= - Search the house for valuable items. - Head outside for first day of training. - Prepare for your long journey. - Obtain the title of Swordmaster. - Learn about the history of the village. - Go to Hunter's Wood. ^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^= ------------------------------- HUNTER'S WOOD -------------------------------- ^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^= - Raise levels by fighting various enemies. - Learn new arts in the first few battles. - Proceed through the forest, killing Klaw Ants and collecting items. - Meet up with Marcus. - Defeat the Hunter Crab. - Go back to Nohl. ^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^= -------------------------------- CONTINUATION -------------------------------- ^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^=^= - Help Dein back to Nohl. - As Nancy instructs, go to sleep. - Experience a weird dream. - Go back to Hunter's Wood. - Proceed through Hunter's Wood again. - Meet a new foe. - Upgrade

About Gluten-Free Remedies
Hello and welcome to glutenfreeremedies.com. Let me tell you a little bit about myself and why I started Gluten-Free Remedies. I am a rheumatologist and founder of the Institute for Specialized Medicine in San Diego, CA. I have been solving tough medical issues for my patients for years—many of whom have celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
For those who are genetically predisposed to gluten sensitivity, a gluten-free diet can bring miraculous relief. But the elimination of gluten doesn't allow the body to get the critical nutrients it needs. The best way to compensate for the lack of these nutrients is to take supplements. I wanted to provide a safe, worry-free option for the gluten intolerant community so I created Gluten-Free Remedies™.

- Pour into a 9" unbanked pie shell. Sprinkle evenly with pecan halves.
- Bake on a cookie sheet for 1 hour. Pie should be firm and will set while cooling.
- For individual servings, bake in premade tart shells.
- For impressive looking pie, lay the pecan halves on top in a circle around the edge until the pie top is covered rather than sprinkling them on top.
