On a blustery day at Rock Hill Country Club in Manorville, NY while playing in the first PBQ Golf Club (http://www.pbqgolfclub.com) outing of the season on April 9th, 2014, our foursome stepped up to the 4th hole, a 160 yard par 3. I pulled a 4 Iron with the wind in our face teed up my high number (6) Titleist PRO V1x ball and made good contact. My foursome (Mike Engel, Mark Schraml, Mark Hoppe) watched the ball sail onto the green and after a moment Mark Schraml turned to me and said I don't see that ball any more. Figuring that the ball had rolled over the green the remaining players all took our tee shots and Mark Hoppe and I took our cart and drove up to the green to find out where the ball had come to rest. We searched the back of the green and the small hill behind the green and could not locate it, at which time Mark Hoppe looked in the cup and proclaimed you're not going to believe this… you got a HOLE IN ONE! Then turning to the other cart he yelled HE GOT IT IN ONE, HE GOT IT IN ONE! Mike Engel was kind enough to document the occasion taking a picture of me next to the 4th hole flag, and we went on to play our remaining holes still in shock from the fact that I had made my first ever hole in one.

===About this Book=== In the near future, a second civil war was fought. I was called the Heartland War and it's battle was fought over the issue of abortion. To end the war, the government came up with a solution that supposedly satisfied both the pro-life and pro-choice armies. It mandated that no human life can be touched from the moment of conception - until the age of 13, when a parent can choose to retroactively abort their child through a process called Unwinding. Connor, Risa and Lev are unwinds on the run. They must survive until the age of 18... or else they'll be arrested and every one of their body parts will be harvested for the "greater good". They might be able to pull it off... but 3+ years is a long time to survive.

Dykes should be good fit for Cal
Rob Cassidy
Recruiting Analyst
Eventually, everyone is going to stop referring to Sonny Dykes as a former baseball player. And "eventually" may very well be now.
California's new head coach spent his college career as a first basemen. It's a fun coincidence. People love to point it out and it presents the opportunity for a pile of bad jokes. But that's not him.
Not anymore.
Now, Dykes is the man in control of a major BCS program. He's the football coach with a 22-15 career record and a WAC championship under his belt. He's the branch of the Mike Leach coaching tree that had his Louisiana Tech team ranked No. 1 nationally in total offense this season.
And, in the opinion of Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Mike Farrell, he's a near-perfect fit for the Golden Bears.
"He's a great offensive mind with lots of good recruiting experience at the BCS level and a guy who will fit in perfectly in Pac-12," Farrell said. "He will recruit skills kids very well out there and take advantage of the California talent."
Dykes' calling card is a pass-heavy, spread offense. It's almost perfectly in the mold of his mentor's. If you want to call it "Bear Raid," go right ahead. Then, it doesn't really matter what you call it. It's proven to work.
Dykes and Jeff Tedford, the man he will replace, are not carbon copies, but the contrast in philosophy isn't overwhelming. For the most part, the tools are in the toolbox. Dykes will just use them in a slightly different manner.
"To be honest, his style is very similar to Tedford's," said Rivals.com West Coast recruiting analyst Adam Gorney. "Tedford had problems at quarterback the last few years, and that's why things didn't go all that well. Some of the guys for Dykes to be successful are already there. He has a quarterback with Zach Kline. He's set at running back with Brenden Bigalow and those guys. And especially at wide receiver with the guys coming in and Chris Harper."
Dykes' recruiting ties in the West aren't obvious. He spent a chunk of his early career coaching at Navarro Community College in Texas, but any pull in the JUCO ranks will be offset by Cal's strict academic requirements. His time working as an assistant at Arizona could have more of an impact, but even so �
"It only helps marginally," Gorney said. "I don't think he's going to have a bunch of pull from that. I don't think kids in this class or the next one know the name Sonny Dykes. It's not a national-profile name. At the same time, that could be a good thing. He's coming into Cal with a clean slate."
That clean slate won't wipe away his his past success, though. Dykes coached NFL wide receivers Michael Crabtree and Wes Welker during his time as the offensive coordinator at Texas Tech. He was the lead recruiter for Crabtree and was later named as one of the top 25 recruiters in the country by Rivals.com.
Now working in a talent-rich state with plenty of programs with which to compete, his knack for closing the deal in the living room will be tested.
"They need to focus on the west coast first and foremost and compete again with USC, UCLA and Stanford in the state," Farrell said. If they mess around too much in Texas it will hurt them, but I think they can spot recruit there."
Still, a fish out of water he's not. You don't have to squint to see the fit. Dykes isn't a renegade trying to force a foreign system into a resistant conference. Coaching changes are so rarely seamless, but this one has potential to be close.
There are certainly unarguable facts in play when it comes to the hire, and Gorney has no trouble simplifying them.
"His offense works," he said. "He's going to be up-tempo and he's going to fit right in in the Pac-12."

how to access SCA c++ componet via web service?(about SCA, AXIS2/C)

Now I have a simple SCA C++ component named Calculator. I just can access the simple component locally.
I want to define the SCA component binding with web service, so I add the below code in the Calculator.composite.
<service name="CalculatorService"> <binding.ws/> <reference>CalculatorComponent/CalculatorService</reference> </service>
And then I start the Axis2/C HTTP server, I have set all the environment variables,such as
set TUSCANY_SCACPP=C:/tuscany_sca set TUSCANY_SDOCPP=C:/tuscany_sdo set AXIS2C_HOME=C:/axis2c-bin-0.96-win32 set PATH=%PATH%;C:/tuscany_sca/bin;C:/tuscany_sdo/bin;C:/axis2c-bin-0.96-win32/lib set TUSCANY_SCACPP_SYSTEM_ROOT=C:/tuscany_sca/samples/CppCalculator/deploy set TUSCANY_SCACPP_DEFAULT_COMPONENT=sample.calculator.CalculatorComponent cd %AXIS2C_HOME%/bin/ ./axis2_http_server.exe
but when I type the address:http://localhost:9090/axis2/services in the web browser, I find the numbers of service in the axis2 doesn't changed(the port of axis2 is 9090).
So My question is :
1: can the above code define Calculator component with web service?
2: should I need to make a dir named Calculator in the axis2/services directory. if this, the code "<binding.ws/> " has no function.
in the axis2/services directory, I just need a service.xml and .dll or .so file. And I don't need any *.composite or *.componentType file any more.
3. whethr or not the address(
) can display the sca component services? because I don't find any clue about how to deploy the Calculator component in axis2.
I am a new hand of SCA and Axis2/c. Any comment will be welcome! Thanks very much!

Try using the uri attribute in the <binding.ws> element, like this:
<binding.ws requires="SOAP.1_2" uri="http://localhost:8085/CalcService" />
I have only played around with the Tuscany and
and, as far as I know, you should not have to configure the web service stack used by Tuscany (Axis).
If you create a project that is using Tuscany, then you have to retain the composite and componentType files.
For more details, I recommend the SCA specifications. For C++ they can be found at:
I can also recommend the Tuscany User's mailing list where many of the friendly Tuscany developers answer questions.
Best wishes!

When I try to access the SCA component via Web Service. The Axis2/c HTTP server will have a segmentation fault and exit!
I also try SCA Java Component. It will be ok. I can access the sca component via Web Service.
I will read the resource you recommend with reserve.
Thanks very much.

Expensive, but works
By Mike
from Reading,PA
Comments about Taco X-Pump Block, 1/25 HP:
This pump will save you a good bit of space over using separate pumps and the built in heat exchanger is nice for closed loop systems or snow melting. Its very quiet. Its just too darn expensive for what you get. If you purchase a heat exchanger and pump this is still more than double. Other con which isn't a knock to the product at all is most plumbers in my area have no idea how to hook one up or want to read the manual.

DIY Basement Radiant Heat
By radiant
from Macatawa MI
I installed an X Block in combination with a Vertex 96% efficient water heater to heat a 1200 sq ft basement. The heat exchanger in the X Block separates the water source. A slab thermocouple combined with Uponor thermostat sets min/max slab temp. A simple DIY project on new construction. Nice system.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Use as a heat transfer device with lots of built in control options.Maintains separation from closed loop systems.Different mode operations for fine tuning system efficiencyEasy to install and set up.Keep a spare replacement cartridge circulator for back up'Water quality is an issue Always use wye-stariners in front of supply to unit.
These things are great.
By Festus
from Fairbanks, AK
I have installed 4 of these now and really think they are a great way to use a water heater as a space heating device. I have installed every one with a Toyotomi OM 180. I think they make a great pair as the 180 is more or less a water heater designed to be a hydronic heater. Both the X-Block and 180 are extremely easy to instal. Living in the subarctic, we have extreme temperature swings that can pose a problem for traditional thermal mass heat systems. We can easily have 40-50 degree temperature swings overnight. The outdoor reset mode on this device regulates the hydronic fluid temperature based on the outdoor temps and prevents under or overheating if you have a 4" thick slab of concrete in your house. The thermostat in my house never moves a single degree because the X-Block knows exactly what my Btu requirements are on a "real time" basis. My only complaint would be more thorough instructions on the best settings for your climate. I am sure a professional boiler installer would understand all the settings a little better than me--a builder. Otherwise I, and the folks I have installed them for, love this thing.

Heating System Pump
By Lev, the plumber
from San Francisco, CA
i purchased this pump to use in radiant heating systems with floor mounted and wall mounted radiators. Overall is a good product, however, it is hard to release air from the system after installation and prior to filling as there is no blow off valve on the heat source return line on this pump. They have blow off on RMB-1 but not on this one for some reason. I had to buy and install the blow offs. As this pump is already pricey, this additional cost was unnecessary.

Nice package, easily installed.
By Dr. Heat
from Pittsburgh, PA
I thought the circulators were a little loud.
Merchant response: Most noise issues are caused by bulk air caught in the system components; make sure to take your time and properly bleed the system during installation.

I was wondering if it is possible to include some PHP code onto a website that will automatically pull the latest posts from a certain category. I have used a script called CuteNews which allows for this but it is not MySQL based and lacks WordPress's feature support. I want to be able to have my posts from say a "news" category output onto my website.
Thanks for your support.

After review of the current ANSI/ISA-77.43.01, Fossil Fuel Power Plant Unit/Plant Demand Development - Drum Type, standard at the meeting in early June 2013, ISA77.43 members decided that a revision of the standard is necessary. The committee is seeking additional members to contribute to this work and to provide input.
The standard establishes the minimum requirements for the functional design specifications of unit/plant demand development for control systems for drum-type fossil-fueled power plant boilers. The scope of the standard is to address the unit/plant demand development subsystem for boilers with steaming capacities of 200,000 lbs/hr (25 kg/s) or greater.

December 6, 2009.
According to information I have been able to dig up, you need only replace the bushings. The rods themselves, I am told, are virtually indestructible. It is evidently a pain to replace the bushings only, but with the proper equipment it can be done. And are designed to be replaced. I am not entirely certain what the compression rods do or how they affect your suspension. Google: compression rods for Infiniti g35. There's lots of information available.

Texas A&M Aggies
Photos: A game-by-game breakdown of the Texas A&M Aggies' 2012 football schedule
Photo: Aaron M. Sprecher/Getty Images
Game 3 vs. South Carolina State: Texas A&M's first cream puff opponent comes four weeks into the season when the Bulldogs from South Carolina State come to Kyle Field. The last time they played an SEC school, SC State lost 38-14 to South Carolina in 2009. South Carolina State returns QBs Richard Cue and Derrick Wiley as well as a solid ground game. But nothing the Bulldogs throw at A&M can stop the advantage the Aggies will have offensively. Look for big games out of freshman running back Trey Williams and receiver Ryan Swope as starters are rested when A&M gets a comfortable lead behind the 12th Man. Prediction: W 35-7, 3-0 record

A good game with complexity
Yen Jou Teng
on Jan. 17 2007
This is the PSP port version of Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth on PlayStation.
Overall, the new CG movies are great. But the game does need some more enhancements, especially backgrounds in the dungeons where Lenneth must travel to fight monsters and demons.
The battle system is quite complex, and you'll need sometime getting used to. I would suggest that beginners play in EASY MODE for practice in the first half of Chapter 1, or at least, until you've really understood the system, and the system menu (it's crucial that you understand what each value means; if you choose to ignore them, you might totally slack-off and get a bad ending).
The worst thing in this game is probably the voice-acting of the characters... very unnatural...

Valkyrie Profile is Back
July 21 2006
Published on Amazon.com
A lot of people haven't played the original Valkyrie Profile. Check around here and you'll easily see it going for more than $100. It's ridiculous to pay that much. Greedy gamers and collectors are like that, and they know some consumers will pay. However, if you're not up for collecting the original copy, you could easily shell out the money for this version. It's basically a port of the original Playstation version with a few tweaks here and there. It beats paying some greedy collector over one-hundred dollars, doesn't it? Valkyrie Profile is a unique RPG experience that if you missed six years ago, now you'll have your chance to play it.
Players of the original often express their love affair with this game and it isn't entirely hard to see why. Our main hero, Lenneth, is a Valkyrie. Lenneth serves Odin, the leader of the Gods. In the world of Asgard, a sacred war has broken out among the Gods. Odin needs brave souls from humans to form an army to fight. It's Lenneth's job to go to the mortal world of Midgard and find the brave souls of humans to send to Odin.
The game spans eight chapters to get you through the game. There is a time limit, however. Everything you do from resting to trumping through dungeons takes time. If you're feeling very brave and gutless, you could rest for all eight chapters and then take on the final boss. Your average gamer, however, doesn't want to do that, and so you just might opt to go and find those souls. You can recruit up to fifteen souls (despite that you probably won't need all fifteen), and only three can enter battle at a time with Lenneth.
As you crawl through dungeons, you'll get the feel of playing some kind of action/adventure game. For one, you'll go through dungeons running around, jumping on platforms and shooting ice-crystals, which can also be used to make platforms. Sometimes it just feels weird but you'll quickly adapt to it. Sometimes crawling through dungeons feels like a pain because some of the controls are so awkward. Each dungeon is also crawling with monsters. Battles are contact-based so if you touch a monster you'll be hurled into battle where you'll control each character with the use of the buttons on your PSP. Each button controls one character. The battle system feels refreshing and original at times. It also calls for a bit more strategy. By timing button presses you can string together combos, and you can also use magic by pressing the select button in battle. You won't use magic often (and pressing the select button to use magic just feels weird), and stringing together combos is usually enough to thwart any opponent.
Experience points are divided among your characters how you see fit. You will, of course find it better to spend them on your current party. Although, you might want to consider spending some experience points on your outside souls because Odin will be wanting strong souls. Not weak ones. Depending on how you do this may also affect the ending of the game. To get the better ending you will have to send Odin strong souls. There are a multitude of endings for you to get as well. Seeing as how on average it'll only take you twenty hours to complete the game, going for the different endings is pretty worthwhile.
The best thing about Valkyrie Profile is the music. Some of the best I've heard in an RPG before. The soundtrack, beautifully conducted, is what makes this game really worthwhile in the end. It always has the right music at the right time.
Valkyrie Profile also has multiple endings and diffculty levels. Your actions make a difference in the ending you get. Even better, some endings and souls can't be obtained unless you're willing to play on different difficulty levels. This brings Valkyrie Profile's replay value way up.
There are a couple of things that keep Valkyrie Profile from being as fantastic as other RPGs. For one, the story, while fantastic, is very slow. A lot of cutscenes are long and spend a lot of time talking and rehashing conversations that have already taken place. Some cutscenes have voice acting. Some voices are really good, sounding just the way you want them to sound. Others sound a little too over-dramatic and over the top at times. Still, for what it's worth the voice acting is perfect.
However, my biggest gripe with the game is how the recruiting system works. I didn't play the originl Playstation version, you see, and the game does a horrible job at explaining how to recruit souls. They do a horrible job at explaining how to organize and manage your party. In other words, the learning curve to this game is pretty steep. You may need some outside help to get you going. By the time you yourself learn the bells and whistles of recruiting, you'll come to see that your team isn't nearly as good as they could be. Luckily though, once you get it down you can really make a power house team. I just wish that they had explained it better.
The game also takes a very long time to load. Several PSP games suffer from this, but Valkyrie Profile suffers a great deal from it. It takes a few seconds to open the menu and to get things going within the menu. For example, the game has to load every time you equip a character, use an item, etc. The load times are horribly long, but they stack up really quickly, especially with how much you're in the menu. To accompany the often annoying load times, you'll also be faced with slowdown at some parts. So while it's a port it isn't a fantastic port. Some of the mechanics didn't make it over to the PSP all that well. Still, it beats shelling out more than one-hundred dollars from a greedy collector.
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth is a fantastic experience for those who want to re-experience it and for those new to the game itself. It's not as good as the Playstation original, and it may be another port for the PSP, but it's still an overall rewarding experience.
On the Positive Side
+A port of one of the Playstation's most sought after RPGs
+Engaging and perplexing storyline
+Great Gameplay Mechanics...
+Fantastic Soundtrack
+Multiple endings and difficulty levels make for replay
+The games short length also makes for replay value
+Beautiful Artwork
On the Negative Side
-Long load times
-The gameplay mechanics don't get an in-depth explanation making for a steep learning curve
-Long drawn out cutscenes make the pacing of the story really slow

An original RPG that helps alleviate from the cluster of cliche titles out there!
March 17 2007
Green Greyhound
Published on Amazon.com
With so many cliche RPGs riddling the market over the past few years, Valkyrie Profile is a welcome installment in any RPG fan's library. Tri-Ace(the developers) chose to make this game something that many have strove for yet few have reached; that is original and still compelling.
To help the reader find just what they are looking for I will separate this review into 5 parts: Graphics, Storyline, Battle system, originality, and audio.
The new CG sequences that have been added to VP: Lenneth are absolutely stunning. They occur quite frequently as well, and you can watch each one of them whenever you want from the main screen! The character sprites are also highly detailed as well as the environments and enemies.
Valkyrie Profile's plot is a welcome entry in the genre in that it is a fresh idea. Just a summary of the game proves that point (you play as Lenneth, a valkyrie who Odin has charged with collecting the dead to become Einjeriar in the battle of Ragnarok) The entire game is working up to one moment at the end of time, and Lenneth must act quickly to collect as many souls as possible. This makes things all the more interesting by adding time limits to the game. Don't worry, there's more than enough time to do it all, you just have to be tactical in your approach. Also, with so many different characters it is usually hard to develop each one of them, i.e. Radiata Stories, but Tri-Ace does an excellent job of letting the player connect on an entirely new level with each one.
*Battle system*
VP: Lenneth also houses a unique battle system that is easy to learn, but takes the entire game to master. The effects in battle are dazzling, my personal favorite is Nibelung Valesti, and every character has a certain strength and weakness. There are also a TON of distinct weapons, armor, and accessories to bring to battle.
There's almost no purpose to this category if you've read the ones above it, but I feel that I must stress just how original this game is! One interesting aspect that is pulled off nicely is that the game is a side-scroller. This makes for some mind-bending puzzles throughout the entire game. There are also three different endings for the game, but the best one is almost impossible to get, and I personally had to use a guide to do it!
This game features an excellent soundtrack that seems to reverberate throughout your being the entire game. From fast paced dungeons to creepy hovels to war-torn towns the music is always well-done. The voice-acting is also fairly well put together as well.
And there you have it, a 5-step breakdown of the artwork that is Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. If you get anything from this review, I hope it is the appreciation of what Tri-Ace spent so long to put together, and if love RPGs and are in need of a challenge you definitely need to pick it up for yourself!

A moving story.
Aug. 9 2006
Published on Amazon.com
Graphics: 7/10.
Well, we are talking about a PS1 port. So don't expect much here. But the new CGs are nice, and even the old PS1 sprites are actually pretty nicely animated. And the super/special moves (PWS) are rather nice, too.
Sound: 6/10.
The dialoguing is very annoying at first. It's very much apparent the moment you start up the game, when you have to go through the prologue. Once you get used to it, it's not bad. The sound effects seem a bit primitive too, but again, this is a rather old game. Btw, as the fans will quickly note, the game uses the same voice actors as Pokemon. :D
Gameplay: 7/10
It's an interesting mix of platforming, puzzles, turn based and real time combat. Personally, I did not enjoy the platforming part. That genera was never my favorite, and the PSP's diagonal insensitivity makes some of the jumps a pain to do. The combat is rather fun and original. But after about mid game, your characters are so over-leveled and over-equipped, almost all of the battles except for a few boss battles become trivial.
Replay: 8/10
There's a lot to do here. And the chances are, that on your first game, you've missed out the "A" ending, the true ending. The standard "B" ending is pretty mundane. And there are quite a few characters in the game, and you probably will not get to explore all of them until you replay the game. Personally, I'm a story driven player, so once I know the plot, I have little interest in replaying the game, but I think many players don't mind going through the story again- and for such players, the replay value should be fairly high.
Story: 9/10
A most excellent story. The many characters that you come across have rather poignant stories, and you learn that each of them, are small reflections of your main character. The plot is weaved very nicely, although it is somewhat slow in the beginning. My only negative that's keeping this from being a 10/10, is the very last scene- it somewhat left me unfulfilled. But I hear that's a matter of opinion.

The best RPG for the PSP so far...
Aug. 25 2006
Published on Amazon.com
Valkyrie Profile was an RPG that came out during the later days of the PSX. While it never achieved massive success, it went on to become an RPG classic and has garnered a very loyal following.
Fast forward to 2006, and we see the re-release of this awesome RPG for the PSP. However, don't make the mistake of writing this off as a plain old port.
Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth includes "new" high quality CG movies that help immerse you in the story. The graphics consist of highly detailed sprites on pre-rendered backgrounds; when seen on the vivid PSP screen, it just makes the game look downright beautiful. Some of the combos are just awesome to look at.
The battle system is a mix of real-time and turn-based fighting that is surprisingly intuitive; newcomers and old pro's will have no problem getting used to it. At first glance, it might look simple, but as you progress through the game, you'll find a depth to it that makes it quite fun.
The main story, itself, is very well developed...even if this RPG doesn't follow the traditional linear way of telling it. One of the things I enjoyed most about this game is the character "episodes" you see when you collect a new soul to help in the battle to save Valhalla.
If you enjoy RPGs, or feel adventurous enough...I highly recommend you buy this game. It's definitely a must have PSP game.

Rent Before You Buy
April 10 2008
Lode Sword
Published on Amazon.com
Back in '99, I owned the original copy of VP, but sold it to Game Stop to purchase Suikoden II a mere three days after the purchase. The amateurish voice acting really grated on my nerves, as well as having a "time limit" to play the game, topped with a lack of true world exploration and character interactment.
Over a course of seven years, I heard the game was EXCELLENT from many gamers, so I thought I had really missed out on something special due to my quick judgment. The original game, retailing at an astounding 100+ dollars made the title even more alluring. Years later, I picked up Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, thinking I would never play the original and this would be the next best thing. As fate would have it, VP was ported to the Playstation Portable!
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this game. Playing felt like a chore.
For those of you who sold your copy with the same mindset I had, or have always been curious about the title, but refuse to pay a ridiculous price for the original...you may want to rent this first before you buy.
Here are the Pros and Cons of this game:
-A unique revision of Norse Mythology. You can really use this game as a tool to cause Norse Myth buffs to "spin on their eyebrows" and the liberties taken with the Pantheon (Heh,heh)
-20+ recruitable characters
-Clean CGI visuals
-No random battles
-No need to worry about "money farming" to purchase arms and items
(*More of a personal "pro", for those of you who have played the PS2 prequel before this...Brahms. Oh, LAWD, Brahms! <3*)
-PAINFULLY repetitive
-Lackluster sound track
-Bad voice acting (with the exception of the new CGI cut scenes), poorly delivered lines.
-Little to no world exploration
-Not much of a story, really. Why were the Aesir and Vanir fighting one another? I was disappointed by the lack of appearance by Hel, Goddess of the Norse Underworld (..Hel).
-Virtually no character interaction. Coupled with the lackluster story, this feels very hollow and boring if you're accustomed to playing traditional RPGs, and this missing element really formed my opinion about the game. Lenneth is the only character that really shares her thoughts (which is usually the same "ice princess" kind of attitude).
I liked VP2: Silmeria in this respect, as a certain degree of camaraderie was felt between Alicia and the core Einherjar. Many "main" characters were flat, had virtually no dialog or purpose, and back stories and motives went unexplained, even if one has played the PS2 prequel, VP2: Silmeria. For example, how and when did Lezard come to become so sickly enamored with Lenneth? What was the depth of Brahms's and Silmeria's relationship? Lezard and Mystina? During a certain event in the game, you'll be asking yourself, "Why are Arngrim and Mystina even emotionally affected by this?"
-One DUD of an ending. (I received the "A Ending", i.e. the "best" ending)
-Voices CANNOT be muted
-Cutscenes involving einherjar recruitment can't be skipped, and can be quite lengthy.
-Items cannot be sufficiently organized. Searching your inventory for an Elixir can be a real annoyance if one has too many items
-Providing you meticulously preened your Seal Rating during certain chapters to receive the "A Ending", the 3 final bosses on Asgard Hill have an extreme advantage against you (As much as I'm ashamed to admit in this review, I wasn't able to defeat Bloodbane and reach the true final boss, and had to resort watching the ending via YouTube, despite cutting down every single boss and enemy I had encountered with relative ease--except the Mandragora in the Forest of the Elves. Oh, GOD, AVOID THE MANDRAGORA! RUN or use a Tome of Alchemy if you encounter them!)
All in all, rent this game before you buy. The original PSone version certainly isn't worth a price tag the size of friggin' Jotnar (a little Norse Mythos geekery for you guys). You might consider playing the prequel for the PS2, Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria instead. That game too, has its rough spots, but can be enjoyable nonetheless.
For those of you who are Square-Enix fans, looking to play the good 'ol classics of Enix and Tri-Ace, I recommend Star Ocean 2 (which is being ported to the PSP with major improvements). It's a real blast!
NOTE: *If any other reviewer can shed light or correct me on some of the things I've said about story elements or characters, I would be greatly appreciative and edit my review accordingly.*
