work as designed but i would like my techs to be able to access the inventory and as of SW v3.5 their own dashboard page. i could try hacking the code but since you made it, it would be allot easier. or if you can at least point me in the right direction.
Feb 12, 2009 at 12:24 UTC
no help???!!!
Feb 13, 2009 at 9:10 UTC
Does this plugin need to be installed on the user's system, or on the SpiceWorks server. I installed it but cannot see a difference in what our "Help Desk Only" users get.
Feb 13, 2009 at 10:54 UTC
@DEngelhardt: It needs to be installed on the Spiceworks system. Users that are defined as "help desk only" will only have access to the help desk. No Dashboard, no IT services, no Reporting, no Inventory, no Settings.
@PC-Whiz: It was designed to prevent access to Help Desk, only. The plugin you're describing sounds like it should allow access everywhere except settings. This would be easy to do, but isn't really in the scope of this plugin. You could hack the code pretty easily by changing the isHelpDesk() function to isSettings(), and modifying the regular expression to match the settings page ("/^settings/") instead of the help desk.

ok thanks i'll see if i can figure it out.
Feb 13, 2009 at 1:11 UTC
Seems I'm having some trouble with this one - it's installed, enabled, and configured - I see the Help Desk Only checkbox in my user settings, however, it doesn't seem to affect anything. The checked users can still see and go into all the menu settings.
Any advice?
Feb 13, 2009 at 4:35 UTC
@Michael Stone: Hmm, do you know if this happens in all browsers, or just one?
Feb 16, 2009 at 8:08 UTC
Seems to happen in all browsers - we've set permissions in Firefox, IE6, IE7, and Safari (and have tested the results in all of the above, as well). Just doesn't seem to take.
For what it's worth, some of the script does seem to be working - the landing page from the plugin configuration seems to take, but the user is still able to see and access all of the Spiceworks Admin portals.
Feb 16, 2009 at 5:47 UTC
ok ive tried messing with it but cant quite figure it out. i can get it to show the right links on the left but if they click on the dashboard/personal dashboard/monitoring it says they are restricted. could you please type up the code i need to get this done i would really appriciate it.
oh and it works fine for me on ie and firefox. we mainly use FF here because SW loads alot faster.
EDIT * i dont even so much care about the monitoring as we dont use that.
Feb 16, 2009 at 6:34 UTC
damn typos!! i had it but i misspelled dashboard!! Arrghhh! Anyway its working now. Thanks Jeff. This helps keep the settings a little bit more under control.
Feb 16, 2009 at 8:07 UTC

Do you have any other plugins installed? It's odd that it wouldn't work in any browser. If so try and disable those temporarily and see if that works. I wonder if something's conflicting.
Feb 24, 2009 at 2:05 UTC
I have enabled this and configured it and it doesnt appear to do anything. The user can still get to Inventory, Settings, Reporting and etc.
We use MAC computers with Firefox. I am using the latest version of Spiceworks.
Feb 25, 2009 at 8:17 UTC
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
Feb 26, 2009 at 8:08 UTC
I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time getting it to fail in my testing. I developed the plugin using a Mac and testing primarily in Firefox, so the fact that you're using both makes this even more baffling.
What version of Spiceworks are you running?
Feb 26, 2009 at 8:48 UTC
I'm not at work but I just installed the latest upgrade before I installed your plugin.
I cant get it to do anything.
Feb 27, 2009 at 3:18 UTC
Can you attach a screenshot of the users table (on the user settings page?). I may have found an issue, and I want to check if it's present on your system.
Mar 1, 2009 at 4:48 UTC
Hi ya,
installed the plugin and all works well, I made a slight tweak to get the dashbaord displaying, however when click on the dashbaord link i get the black screen saying restricted area, is there way of getting the dashboard up and running, but also restricting the other areas.
Mar 1, 2009 at 4:56 UTC
Yes, change the function isHelpDesk to include dashboard in its regular expression, like so:
function isHelpDesk(url) {
return (url.match(/^tickets|^help_desk|^dashboard/));
That should do it.
Mar 2, 2009 at 6:03 UTC
Thanks Jeff worked a treat, next question is how do I get the alerts to work. the url I have is http://localhost/admin?summary=alert_summary
Many Thanks
Mar 2, 2009 at 10:22 UTC
@IT6620: That would be more complicated since there's no direct link to alerts from the side nav. In order to navigate there you'd have to allow all access to /admin.
If the user has access the dashboard, why not just add an Alerts widget and let them see the alerts that way. If you've got access to the dashboard, you can essentially see everything on the system.
For a matter of interest, what don't you want people to access?
Mar 2, 2009 at 12:50 UTC
1st Post
o.k. thanks for that. All I want to do is to ban them access from useing the reports url which is /reports and the my tools, and the settings page I want them to be able to access everything else.
I have giveing them access to the widgets, but when click on the widget link it takes them to the url posted above!!
Great job with the Widget!!!!!
Mar 2, 2009 at 12:53 UTC
Damn post with the wrong account details sorry. Help4732 is another technicians account we use.
Mar 2, 2009 at 1:13 UTC
o.k. fixed that problem just added this in the url
return (url.match(/^tickets|^help_desk|^dashboard/|^view));
Which fixed the widget issue.
Just one more quick question and I'm done. How do I block access to the my Tools option!!! Also I want to hide it aswell.

Oster Technologies is an IT service provider.
The install button is grayed out? How do I install this plugin?

Is there white smoke?
I've seen something in "Namaste" episode and I want to know what you think about it.
It is out of the question that in the scene where Christian, Sun & Lapidus are in the recruiting place, there is somebody standing behind Sun... but the thing is... when they enter this place, we can clearly see that there is nobody in there.
While Christian finds the picture, talks to Sun and hands her the picture something happens... The door opens and a clear smoke begins entering through the door... please check this... the door opens, and the white smoke starts entering goes to the right side of the screen, it gets thicker and thicker, and when Sun looks at the picture, and we go back to her face, suddenly she is in the dark again... there is no more light / smoke behind her, just shadows.
Then is where we can see this person behind her.
So... smokey can make himself look like a person... many people have said that here before... but smokey can also look White??
Are there 2 different kinds of smoke? Is there good nature or bad nature on the people that it projects? Is then Christian a good person? Or is it Sun? Is it only a matter of light in the dark and can be take as a technical problem while shooting the scene? (I mean... maybe the dark smoke couldn't be really seen in the scene if it was too dark around...)
Who appears there and why? I think it is not a mistake, and it is not a minor thing... when Sun and Lapidus get to the Island, Smokey is there and takes a tree down or something. Then Christian appears, and talks to them, even when everything looks abandoned... and then... someone else appears behind Sun..
It is breath taking! :)

Episode based
- Private's idea of a perfect future is living in a cottage in Nova Scotia, happily married with one egg and another on the way.
- Skipper's idea of a perfect future is a post-apocalyptic wasteland terrorised by irradiated mutants, based loosely on every post-apocalyptic movie ever made.
- This could be a reference to the 2010 story, TimeRiders, in which the villain sets off a doomsday weapon that turns 2001 New York city into a wasteland of Skipper's description when he goes insane
- At the end of the episode, the world did become a post-apocalyptic wasteland, since it's covered in snow-cones.
- The Macguffium 239 is a play on Macguffin, which is a plot device in the form of some desired object that the characters are trying to pursue, protect, or control.
- The helmet that Kowalski used to avoid pain from Sting Operation appears in this episode.
- When Private and Skipper were trying to get the Macguffium 239, the same music from Needle Point is heard when the penguins chased Skipper.
- Maurice and Mort don't talk in this episode, though Mort screamed when Skipper and Private fell on him.
- The creation of Timelines A & B cause certain consequences
- The appearances of Kowalski without actually witnessing his departure that makes Timeline A & Timeline B sets up as predestination paradoxes as events in future are happening before they were supposed to happen & this causes a form of another predestination paradox as we cannot tell when Kowalski departed Timeline Zero (the original timeline) to become Kowalski-A or Kowalski-B on Timeline A until we witness Kowalski-A's departure in Timeline B to create Kowalski-B (who reverts back to the original Kowalski)
- Kowalski's transformation into Kowalski-A on creating Timeline A & Timeline B set up as a grandfather or temporal paradox because the following reason explains: The Chronotron was never invented by Kowalski, so Kowalski-A & Kowalski-B would never have been able to go back in time to tell their accomplices (Skipper & Private) what they had to do
- Running Gag: Private listening to his future Kowalski and Skipper listening to his future Kowalski.
- Antagonist(s): Private (while asked by Kowalski-A) and Skipper (while asked by Kowalski-B, depends)
- Penguin items except Skipper's coffee mug, Ms. Perky, and the items in the lab are gone. They are completely replaced in the next episode.
- Many things from the previous episodes appear in this episode when the rift occured:
- Kowalski's Speak and Spell
- Private's Winkies
- The penguins' clock
- One of their pillows
- A Desperado hat from Monkey Love or cowboy hat from Crown Fools
- A Chinese box from Misfortune Cookie
- The helmet from Sting Operation
- The camera from Gone in a Flash
- The mustard from Truth Ache
- The roller skate from Tangled in the Web
- One of the batteries from Assault and Batteries
- The hammer from Launchtime
- One book from a previous episode
- The walkie-talkie from Crown Fools
- The cell phone from Zoo Tube
- Each of the penguins had a Kowalski: Private had Kowalski-A, Skipper had Kowalski-B and Rico had the present Kowalski.
- When Kowalski-A guided Private, he didn't know how the present Kowalski would act, like in the case when Kowalski had a spare test tube of Macguffium 239.
- Although Kowalski-B tells Skipper that there is another future Kowalski, he's not aware to this fact, until Private tells him that.
- When Kowalski was telling Rico to destroy his hopes and dreams and everything he ever lived for, Amazing Grace (song) was playing on bagpipes very faintly.
Foul Ups, Bloops, and Blunders
- Even though the clock was clearly sucked into the vortex, when Kowalski went to put the Macguffium in the chronotron, it was back on the wall. Also the TV and the radio did not get sucked in the vortex.
- Private pronounced "continuum" as "condominium" and paradox as "pair of ducks."
- Joey's beach ball appears in the penguins hideout when the rip in the space time continum occured.
Behind the Scenes
- Was supposed to air on February 20/10, but got pushed to March 13.
- Was supposed to air on Sept 11/10 at 9:30am on YTV in Canada but was replaced with In The Line of Doody
DVD Releases
- Included on the I Was a Penguin Zombie (DVD)

The summer break is when we refresh and get into a positive frame of mind for the year ahead.
But even the most "glass half full" type of person must be feeling at least a little nervous about their personal finances this year.
Those who take even a passing interest in financial news will know that markets everywhere are volatile.
The Australian sharemarket is having one of its worst starts to a year. Overseas markets are down by as much as 20 per cent on their highs of last year.
It would be easy, given the bad news, to batten-down the hatches and stay away from investment markets.
Those making voluntary contributions to their super may decide to hold off making further contributions until the storm passes.
Fund members may even be tempted to switch out of their balanced investment option, where most have their money, into one of their fund's more conservative but lower-returning options.
But knee-jerk reactions based on the short-term gyrations of investment markets would almost certainly be a mistake.
Super funds' "balanced" options are designed to serve the best interests of the vast bulk of members who do not take a particular interest in their super. They spread the money between various asset classes.
Markets go through cycles. At any point in the cycle, shares may do better than, say, fixed interest, but when market conditions change the reverse can be true.
The typical balanced option has about half the money invested in Australian and overseas shares. That is high by international standards.
However, the high exposure to shares has helped funds deliver for fund members over the long term. That is what matters as super is the ultimate of long-term investments.
SuperRatings' figures show that for seven years to November 30, 2015, the latest available, the typical balanced option produced an average annual return of 8.11 per cent.
With the market falls since then that return will be lower, but not much lower.
Since the start of this century, balanced options have posted calendar year losses only three times - in 2002, 2008 and 2011.
The average yearly return since 2000 is just below 6 per cent. There is no reason for thinking returns for this year will differ much from the long-term average.
The current volatility is likely to be a temporary set-back; no one is expecting a return to a GFC-type environment.
Already, bargain hunters are coming into sharemarkets. Maybe the worst is over; maybe not.
But what is reasonably certain is that those with years still in the workforce who switch to a more conservative investment option will be worse off in retirement than if they had stuck with their balanced option.
Switching to a lower-risk option can make sense for those who are nearing retirement and have less time recover from losses.
But that is a decision that needs careful consideration. It should not be made in response to market gyrations.

Yonke Brothers Claim Four-Ball Title
Yonke Brothers Claim Four-Ball Title
LAWRENCE, Kan. Former Kansas State golfer Kyle Yonke and incoming Wildcat Curtis Yonke won the 21st Kansas Four-Ball Championship on Friday. The duo won on the last hole of the tournament to take the title at the par 72, 6,829-yard Alvamar Country Club.
The Yonke's were able to edge the team of Bobby Knowles and Andrew Storm, current members of the University of Kansas golf team.
In the final round, Knowles and Storm birdied holes No. 14, No. 15 and No. 16 to go One Up heading into the 17th hole. On No. 17, Kyle Yonke hit a 3-wood from 250 yards to land 15 feet from the pin and sunk the eagle putt to even the match going into the final hole.
After all four players missed the green on the par-4 18th hole, Knowles chipped within 15 feet of the hole but missed his putt for birdie. Curtis Yonke's chip landed a few inches from the hole after hitting the flagstick and he made his birdie putt. Storm left his chip from the fringe six feet short and missed the birdie putt to give the Yonke's the crown.
With the victory the Yonke's became the first brother combo to win the event.

Cooky-Jar Sugar Cookies
Recipe by dk683
This is an adapted recipe from the 1953 Edition of Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book, although I know this as my Great Aunt Mimi's recipe because she tweaked some of the ingredients. These cookies have a simple yet extraordinary flavor.
Top Review by Proud Veterans wife
YUM! The dough is very tasty! My DD and I had trouble staying out of the bowl! The cookies are just as delicious! I did not roll the dough out I just dropped them on a pan. They turned out perfect. Nice and soft on the inside and little crisp crust. I'm going to make an orange glaze for them. They don't need it though they are very good by themselves. Thanks so much will make again! Made for PAC Orphanage Spring 08
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition

- sift the dry ingredients. (The flour, baking powder and salt.).
- Stir the dry ingredients into the wet and blend well.
- Divide the dough in half.
- Chill for 1 hour or overnight.
- After an hour or the next day, on a floured surface, roll half of the dough to 1/8 inch thick. (keep the remaining dough chilled until you are ready to roll it.).
- Cut into shapes and place them on a greased baking sheet.
- at this point you can decorate them with candy, raisins, nuts and colored sugars if you want.
- Bake at 375 degrees F for 6 to 8 minutes.
- Cool slightly and remove them from the pan.
- Enjoy!

Blueberry Cobbler Bars | Spark Your Summer
Can you believe it's already week four of Spark Your Summer?! I'm so excited about today's guest, Gina from Kleinworth & Co. Gina has been linking up to my weekly I'm Lovin' It linky party for a long time, and I've been a huge fan of her recipes and photography! Earlier this year we finally had the chance to meet, and she's even more wonderful in person! Today she is here with a delicious blueberry recipe that I can't wait to make! Make sure to head over to Kleinworth & Co. for lots of fun ideas and recipes.
Hi there TidyMom readers! It's Gina from Kleinworth & Co. & I'm so thrilled to be here today. I had the pleasure of not only meeting Cheryl at SNAP! Conference but getting some quality one on one time with her too. I can tell you- I had the best time getting to know her & she is every bit as wonderful in person as you see here in her space. I can't wait for the next time we can catch up in person.
On Kleinworth & Co. I share photography tips, easy projects & a whole lot of recipes. I have a passion for being in the kitchen & an even bigger passion for pretty food pictures. One thing I use a lot of in my recipes is blueberries. We seem to be enjoying a blueberry recipe nearly every week. So I thought it would be great to share our favorite Blueberry Cobbler Bars with you all today.
These are truly simple to make & leave the wonderful smell of baked blueberries drifting through the house. Heaven!
I love that these can be enjoyed as a treat or over morning coffee.
Of course, I have been known to eat chocolate chip cookies over coffee too. (any excuse)
These are perfect for this time of year because I am usually packing the house with fresh produce. Summer is so great for that. This recipe works well with both fresh or frozen – so take all those summer berries, pack them away & you can enjoy this all year long.
Just look at that buttery crumble topping- so tasty.
This recipe also works well with other berries. Since we are in North Idaho – our all time favorite is to use Huckleberries. I figured they might be hard to come by in other areas – which is why I chose blueberry to share today.
To make…
These bars are truly simple to make & leave the most wonderful smell of baked blueberries drifting through the house.
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, chilled
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 1/4 tsp butter extract
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 8-oz fresh blueberries, rinsed and drained
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a 9×9 inch baking pan with parchment & give a light spritz with cooking spray.
- Combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes, and add to the flour mixture.
- Using a fork for pastry cutter, cut the butter in until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Remove 3/4 cup of the mixture to use as the topping & set aside.
- Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of prepared pan, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs in another medium bowl (or just use the one you used for the crust.
- Add the granulated and brown sugar, sour cream, flour, salt, butter and vanilla extracts. Whisk well.
- Gently fold in the berries and pour the mixture over the crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining flour mixture evenly over the filling
- Bake 35-45 minutes.
- Cool for 1 hour before cutting & serving.
If you love these – you might want to check out some of my other blueberry recipes?

I thought high carb diets were bad for you, yet some experts recommend it.
sort by best latest
The carb discussion goes round in circles, and the people who surround me all agree.
Eat what looks good, what tastes good and what feels good after you have eaten it. Choose healthy whole grains, organic produce and leave the numbers in the dust.
Bless the food you eat and trust your body to use what it needs to the best of its ability and to throw the rest away - ie, what it is naturally meant to do. :)

Neither are good for you. A healthy, well-balanced diet is the best. Most people think of carbohydrates as breads, pastas, rice, cake, cookies, etc. However, carbohydrates also include vegetables and fruits. By going low-carb, one is excluding the most essential nutrients your body needs; vegetables and fruits provide these nutrients. Starchy carbohydrates also have a place in the diet; however, natural starchy carbohydrates like oats, brown or wild rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and quinoa are much healthier than processed foods like breads, pastas, cake, and cookies. If starchy carbohydrates are utilized at the right times, they will not hurt the body or endanger weight. They are best eaten around strenuous workout times. If you are trying to lose body fat, they are best eaten 1-2 times per week "after" a strenuous workout. If you were to eat low-carb, you place your thyroid and metabolism in danger. In fact, they slow down so much while placing you in a "starvation" mode. After resuming a normal diet, your body gains back all weight and sometimes more. A high carbohydrate diet filled with pre-packaged, processed, and unhealthy starches will most definitely make you gain weight. A diet high in healthy starchy carbohydrates would also make you gain weight unless you are extremely active (i.e., marathons, triathlons, heavy labor work, etc.). Please read my hubs to learn how to eat healthy, lose weight, and keep your metabolism up to par.

Low carb is definitely hard and expensive, but it has always worked for me. I am not saying NO carbs... just follow certain guidelines. for women 45 grams of carbs each meal and snacks between meals should have no more than 15 grams. Men get 60 grams each meal.
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
With a low carb diet you trigger "starvation" mode, which leads to weight gain. Body tries to store everything that come in, including water and green salads. Same time, your body reaching out to your muscles and break them down as food, same applies to fat deposits inside your joints and and fat that holds your internal organs. That's why you see people going on the low carb diet, losing weight (muscle) and gain fat. They practically getting lighter but size remain the same. Then metabolism problem kicks in but that's a different topic.
Very tricky, ha?.
High carb diet speaks for itself. All calories you consume will need to be processed, which means that your body will use all energy it has to process, utilize and store consumed calories instead of working on issues, remove toxins and heal.
Balance is a key but don't think that counting calories is a way to go. There is another trick to it...
You can help the HubPages community highlight top quality content by ranking this answer up or down.
so, what's the other trick?
Hey Alex, I loved your seminar in Dallas on this topic. Tell them a story about "breakfast you eat and dinner you give to your enemy". I think that will explain the concept :-)

Lounge By MavericksMommy Updated 24 Feb 2013 , 6:53am by peppercorns
I've chatted with several of you on here that have golden retrievers and it was suggested that a thread be started that was about Golden Retrievers, so here it is! Maverick is of course my furbaby. He is about 3 and was on death row at a humane society after being found as a stray before he was rescued by GRREAT, the golden retriever rescue group I got him from. The humane society adoped him out twice before sentencing him, once he was returned in a day, the other in 4 hours. I think it's because he was a young golden with lots of energy and no obedience (and because he was looking for my husband and I of course).
So now that you know a bit about Maverick, tell me about yours!
Morgan and Chewey are 2 and 3 years old. VERY SPOILED!! We take them to the doggie bakery for treats. They have every STRUDY doggie toy ever made, sleep with me and my husband, and walk around crying when my husband goes away on business trips. TheY get UP on the furniture, have no manners, follow you EVERYWHERE, every minute, and are sooooooo affectionate. I wouldn't have it any other way.
I was with my fur baby when he was born. He was a beautiful baby of an abandoned mother. She was in horriable condition when she came into the hosp I worked in. She had been found in a ditch, hit by a car and a kind family found her and brought her in. I cleaned her up, she had more problems than I should go into here. I wasn't sure she would live through the night, but the next morning somehow she managed the strength to give birth to 7 beautiful golden puppies. I adopted my 4 legged son and she was given a forever home with the vet. This July 19 will be 15 years we have been together. I can't imagine my life without him. We have been through alot together and he has always been there to lend a furry ear. I will see if I can upload a pic of him.
I can't post a pic.
My in-laws dog is part golden and part springer spaniel. She is such a good dog with my son, they've been together since she was a puppy and he at least 2 years old. They play together like they are a brother and sister, she will swing her butt around to bonk him when they are wrestling together. She is also protective of him and has been known to get out of her collar and leash if she is on a walk to put herself between him and any strange dog that is barking and growling at him. She has been one of the best things for him since he doesn't have any other siblings.
Ok, this is one thread I cannot resist!! My baby, Sally,(see my avatar) is 12 years old. I've had her since she was a puppy. A coworker's wife found her in the street when she was about 3 months old. I brought her home and she has been the BEST dog ever. I had a male too, Gus, and he was a big baby. I was crazy for him too, but had to put him down last year, he had cancer. I think that was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life.
Sally is so spoiled, she will not go outside at night to use the bathroom unless I go with her. She carries her stuffed animals around in her mouth and moans if I go into the back of the house and she can't find me right away. She is 93 lbs of pure LOVE! I think the only real competition I have for her attention is a big bowl of food or a chewy... She does love to eat.
I don't know if I could ever have any other breed of dog after spending 12 years with the smartest and most affectionate dogs in the world!!
ok, i can't resist either! I currently dont' have a dog b/c my BF and I rent a place where we cant' have animals.... but my parents have goldens and they are family too!-so I still call them mine.
Between my parents and I we have had 5 golden retrievers (i had mine when I lived at home with them) The first one my dad got locally from a breeder who was going to stop breeding and was selling of some of the younger ones they had. Nikki, she was in my avatar up until last week, and i'm sure she will be again soon. She had a tumor when we got her, but it never grew and wasn't dangerous to her health. We had her for 11 years and had to put her to sleep last spring. At that same time we had to put another golden to sleep, Brittany, we had gotten her through loveagolden rescue, based in the st.louis area. We had her for a couple of years before she was diagnosed with kidney failure. (That was a horrible horrible day)
Before Brittany we had adopted my baby girl, Amber, from a local college that took in strays and animals from kill shelters for their vet program, then they adopted them out once they were healthy and ready for their forever home. Amber was estimated to be about 10-11 years old, but no one was for sure b/c she was found as a stray out in the country. She started having seizures and major arthitus and became very restless b/c I was not at home as much as I used to be. There was not a lot we could do to relieve her pain and decided it was in her best interest to put her down. (ok, so I still get tears in my eyes when i think about that)
So then last summer after we had to put down Nikki and Brittany at the same time. My parents adopted two more goldens from www.loveagolden.com Maple and Victoria. Maple we were told was hit by a car when she was a pup and had a bad leg. (we sure didn't care, we still loved her) Victoria had been in a nursing home and was turned in b/c the residents wouldn't stop feeding her. This was causing her to be overweight and in turn was causing her to have seizures.
Victoria is currently at her goal weight (she has lost 50 pounds since she has been with my parents!) She has only had 1 week with seizures and her medication was corrected b/c of her weightloss and she has been doing well ever since.
However... Maple we found out the last week of December had Bone cancer. Evidently that is what she had all along, and our vet believes the car accident was just a story. We did not realize she had bone cancer for that long b/c we had a hard time getting her x-rays from her former vets. So by the time we found out it was to late. We had to put her to sleep the second week of january on my dad's birthday. She is greatly missed!
Ok, so now that I have gone through all the emotions of loosing these girls, loving them, and etc.. (i know you all know what I mean)
I wouldn't change having all of them for the world. I am just glad we were able to give them all a good home whether it was for 10 months or 10 years they are all a part of our family. The hardest part though was having to put three of them to sleep in less than a year. That has taken a huge toll on all of us.
But... I will still own another golden!
P.S. Sorry for the book, goldens are close to my heart
My husband and I have a sweet golden boy named Tucker ... he's 7 years old and we've had him since he was 8 weeks old. He weighs about 90 pounds. Fortunately, he is not overweight, but just a big bruiser. We knew he was going to be huge when we saw his big floppy puppy paws. He is the love of our lives.
My parents also have a golden ... Molly, who is 8. I got her when she was a puppy, and the first time my dad laid eyes on her, it was love at first sight. So, she was my gift to them and then my husband (then boyfriend) got Tucker not too long after that. Molly has a bit of a weight problem, unfortunately (that's what happens when Grandma lives with you for almost a year ... she likes to give table scraps to Molly - her "granddog" - , even though she's asked not to!!!). She also has bad hip dysplasia. It breaks my heart to see her struggle to stand up after laying down. My parents are trying to help her shed a few pounds, as this will cause less stress on her hips. Rimadyl is a miracle drug, in my opinion!!
I think Goldens are amazing, beautiful dogs. What a wonderful breed.
You all have or have had such precious goldens. (of course I haven't heard of anyone having anything but a precious golden- LOL!) I smiled at your stories and cried at your losses.
My family's first golden, Alex was lost to cancer 4 years ago. I lost my golden, Marilla 3 years ago on August 31. She was truly a one of a kind. She and I could speak without words and knew each other better then we knew ourselves. She had been diagnosed with lymphoma 1 1/2 years before (and had 3 miraculous remissions without any cancer treatments-the doctors were stumped but I knew it was because of prayer), then blew out the tendons in her ankle on her front paw 6 months before I lost her due to 3 vets misdiagnosed a complete digestive blockage. The night before she died, she let me know that I should marry my now husband, and I belive she somehow sent me Maverick. He is like her in so many ways, but is also his own fur-person. Sometimes he does things that are really earily things only Marilla has done. Since he was found as a stray, I don't know the exact day when he was born, but when I adopted him at 2 years old, they estimated him to be born at the same time I lost my precious Marilla. That's another reason I think she sent him. I could go on and on about the wonderful I've had in my life. But, I'd like to hear more about yours!
MavericksMommy how did you resize your pic for your avatar? I can shrink it with no problem but can't seem to get below the 6KB required
I LOVE THIS TOPIC AND ALL THE GREAT POSTS!! Wish I could see pictures of all your sweet family members. I got both Chewey and Morgan when they were 8 weeks old. As I said earlier, their now 2 and 3. Can't imagine life before them. In order to get Chewey, the breeder made us fill out a 2 page adoption application, make several visits, and then she picked out the best match for us. AND HE'S PEFECT! I'm trying to talk my DH into letting us get a 3rd golden. Wish me luck.LOL.
I don't have a Golden but I love all of your stories. Thank you for sharing
I have two golden boys. Magic and Lucky. Magic is the dad and lucky his son. We just lost his Mom a few months ago. We call them our golden retards because they are so goofy and wonderful. They have nice feather duvets on the floor near my bed, but many nights I will hear a thump, go into my sons room and the dog has taken over the bed. (and they kids let them!) We also foster for out local animal shelter. Lucky and Magic are the best teachers. We have yet to have a guest in that our dogs have not been able to get trained to go to a new family.
How lucky we all are!!
These are wonderful stories!
When my son spends the night at m in-laws Suzie sleeps out in the hall right outside of the door of the room he sleeps in, but if he's not there she will sleep in my in-laws bedroom on the floor next to my FIL.
(The dogs are not allowed in the beds at their house.)
My hubby's brother and his wife have a golden retriever and lab mix name Tank. He's huge, and he's such a big dope. He's so funny when he walks around looking for attention, he'll step on your toes and not even realize but man oh man does it hurt. When he comes down to stay with my in-laws when my BIL and SIL go on vacation he has to be watched when he goes outside otherwise he will take off because he misses my SIL so much.
MavericksMommy how did you resize your pic for your avatar? I can shrink it with no problem but can't seem to get below the 6KB required
I put Maverick as my avitar about a year ago, let me think....
I think I had to compress it using the software that came with my camera until it met the requirements. I think I also went by how many pixels by how many pixels that they said it had to be under and that got me to where I needed to be.
He's huge, and he's such a big dope. He's so funny when he walks around looking for attention, he'll step on your toes and not even realize but man oh man does it hurt.

m0use- That is so funny, Every golden I've had stands on your feet and doesn't know they're doing it too! The two goldens that I've personally had also don't seem to know that they have a back end- they have knocked things off of tables and then look surprised when they see you scrabling to pick something they've knocked (like a soda)onto the floor- the look Maverick gives is- How did that happen? Boy you're clumsy!
As for running away, Maverick also will do this if he's gets loose outside- the good part about it is that he's also a sucker for a car ride! All you have to do is push the car alarm/door opener so he hears the beeps and he does a 180 and runs to the car- then jumps in for the fun! He's so gullible! We do take him on a short car ride every few times he does this so he won't catch on too soon!
I don't have a Golden but I love all of your stories. Thank you for sharing
Another Delawarian! Hello! It's always neat to see someone else from our tiny state!
Talk about not knowing their backends. I had a candle on the coffee table. 1 Jar candle + 1 Fluffy tail= oh crap!! I caught him quickly, but now all candles go up high!!!!
LOL- I know about the back-end thing. Well, my in-laws are babysitting Tank this week, I dropped my son off this morning and he was so funny. My son was like "oh no tank is here, he's going to start trouble". In the meantine Tank is so happy that someone is here to see HIM that his tail is swinging back and forth so hard his butt's swinging and he's knocking a laundry basket over that happens to be on the floor.
The only problem I have with them is the shedding...of course it wouldn't be so bad at my MIL's if she would brush the dog daily.

m0use- that is too funny about Tank! They always think everyone is there to see them don't they?
I agree about the shedding-with some goldens. Our first golden, Alex, had fur like a sheep and shed in clumps-all year. You could have knit a sweater a month from the fluffy fur that came from him. My other, Marilla and now Maverick don't shed all that much in comparison. Yes, he fills up the vacume cleaner every week, but I know how much worse it can be! Whenever I look down at my clothes though I think how much he loves me because he wants me to take some of him with me every day!
Another Delawarian! Hello! It's always neat to see someone else from our tiny state!
Hi there! I do get excited when I see someone from Delaware on a message board/forum because it doesn't happen very often. The really odd thing is that when we lived in Idaho, we kept meeting people from DE
We have a 6yo golden named "Ma Petite Amie" or Amie for short. Ma Petite Amie is French for "my little friend". I got her from a breeder in North Carolina. I flew from KS to NC to get her when she was 8 weeks old and she barely fit in the carrier then! Now, she's about 80 pounds and a lot bigger than I had expected. But she's the sweetest dog and not a mean bone in her body. She loves her treats and my preschoolers love to give her table scraps too.
She loves to go for car rides and loves to go to the lake. We have a dog area at the local park with an area of the lake for the dogs to go swimming. We throw a retriever dummy out in the lake and she swims out to get it. She just cries and cries when she realizes we're going to the lake!
Amie sheds something horrible too. It's everywhere! I always have hair on my pants! I have to keep her out of the kitchen when I'm doing my cakes, which is hard because she wants to be where I am. I just put up a barricade at the top of the stairs and she lays at the bottom of the stairs and waits for the opportunity to get closer to me!
Thanks for letting me share about my first baby!
My manager has 2 retrievers and she says they shed so much. She bought the Animal Dyson and said it works great, it gets every last bit of hair.
LOL- retrievers do think that everyone is there to see them. My in-law's dog Susie always comes up to me to pet her when I first walk in the door, she won't leave my side until I pet her for a little bit, then she's fine and goes on her merry way.
OMG ... we have the animal Dyson, too, and it is just AMAZING. Worth every penny. Blows away any other vacuum I've ever used!!! I highly recommend it if you're in the market for a vacuum!!!

I know what you mean, my husband and I were on a cruise in late November and we met someone on the plane ride back that was not only from Delaware, but our hometown! In fact, I sat next to them on the plane! Sometimes you realize how small the world is!
OMG ... we have the animal Dyson, too, and it is just AMAZING. Worth every penny. Blows away any other vacuum I've ever used!!! I highly recommend it if you're in the market for a vacuum!!!
Thanks cakesbyjess (and m0use), I've seen them on tv but always wondered if they were really all that much better. I have a dirt devil now with a hepa filter and it gets up lots of fur. I think when it finally dies I'll have to look into an animal dyson-I hope they will still be carrying them then!
YEAH DOUG!!! He helped me upload my new avatar. It is my 14 year old golden SHAQ. He does alot of pro-mo work for the vet hospital I work for. I don't think I will ever own another golden. He has me so spoiled, no one else could compare!
NEWTODECORATING ... I LOVE your new avatar!!! So cute!!
AWe have 6 Golden :)
Oh, I love dogs, any kind, color, size etc. Last Dec 2012, I rescued a starving 6 week old black lab mix, after a few trips to the vet, all he needs do to is eat and be a proper puppy again. He is now good as new and spoiled.

Magic Mountain: Scaling the heights with Speri in Valpolicella Classico
It was only a matter of time before I climbed Monte Sant'Urbano.
The ascent started at the dinner table in the heart of old Verona, where my wife and I supped with a velvety, complex Valpolicella Classico Superiore Sant'Urbano 2012 from Fratelli Speri, one of the oldest families making wine in this zone.
Two mornings after draining the bottle, we are on the small Monte Sant'Urbano, covered with 10-foot drywall terraces that climb to 1,100 feet. Tall pergola-trained vines dangle the dark grapes used in blending Valpolicella—Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella—above our heads. The views over the Fumane Valley stretch to Lake Garda on the southeastern horizon.
The Speris' history here in Valpolicella Classico dates to the mid-19th century, and the winery is now run by the sixth generation. Since the early 1980s, the Speris have produced a Sant'Urbano cru—their most prized vineyard—using grapes that are partially dried, but less so than those for Amarone.
"Drying grapes is not only about evaporation of the water and concentration," explains Giampaolo Speri, 50, one of five cousins who now run Speri. "It's an evolution that adds aromas and complexity."
Sant'Urbano comprises 50 of Speri's 120 acres of vineyards in production and makes what the family considers its two most important wines: its Amarone and the Sant'Urbano Valpolicella Classico Superiore, which retails in the United States for around….read the full blog (free) at winespectator.com

Global Warming
I am an original cosponsor of The Safe Climate Act of 2007 . This legislation will freeze U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2010 at the 2009 levels with strong and enforceable deadlines. It will cut 2011 emissions roughly by 2% a year reaching 1990 emission leve ls by 2020. After 2020, it will cut emissions by 5% each subsequent year.
I cosponsored, and voted for, The CLEAN Energy Act of 2007 . This legislation will reduce our dependency on foreign oil through the promotion of clean, renewable, and alternative energy resources.
I am also a cosponsor of The Renewable Energy Portfolio Standard Act of 2007 , which builds on current renewable portfolio standards by implementing a market-based credit trading system to spur the deployment of renewable technologies. This bill w ill set a standard requiring electricity retailers use a minimum amount of electricity from renewable sources.
The Farm Bill and the Environment
As Congress works to reauthorize the Farm Bill this year , you can count on my support in ensuring the legislation reflects at least two priorities on which I campaigned - prosperity for working families and environmental sustainability. As you know, t he Farm Bill offers an important opportunity to reaffirm our nation's commitment to childhood education and nutrition programs. I am a proud cosponsor of H.R. 1616, a bill that reauthorizes funds to support education, child development, and food security for some of the world's poorest children. I am also a cosponsor of H.R. 2129, the Feeding America's Families Act of 2007 , which addresses nutrition issues including food stamp use at farmer's markets, community food projects, and hunger-free communities collaborative grants.
The Farm Bill also offers a unique opportunity to promote renewable energy and ensure programs that invest in our natural resources - like the Wetland Reserve Program and Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program - are funded. I will do my best to be a strong advocate for a pro- nutrition and pro- environment Farm Bill.
Fuel Economy
I am a proud cosponsor of Massachusetts Representative Ed Markey's Fuel Economy Reform Act. As you know, H.R. 1506 will require an increase in fuel economy standards of 4 percent per year until 2018. If enacted, this would save 2.2 million barrels of oil per day and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 370 million metric tons per year by 2022. I believe that we need progressive legislation aimed at increasing fuel efficiency and believe this bill represents a positive step forward in ensuring a sustainable environment and future.

Fire Emblem 5: Thracia 776 is the latest Fire Emblem game to be released.
Released September 1999 FE5 was unqiue in that it was released on the Super Famicom
system instead of Nintendos main platform: the N64. Because of this FE5 has the
distinction of being the last Super Famicom game ever made in Cartridge form. Taking
place BETWEEN Chapter 5 and chapter 6 in Fire Emblem 4 FE5 tells the Story of Leif
as he strives to reclaim his home of Lenstar from the Thracian forces. The story
actually flows into Chapter 7 of FE4 towards the end but manages to wrap it up nicely
for the beginning of FE4's Chapter 8. FE5 is full of Cameos and actually has several
returning characters available. It is also diffrent in that it plays more like FE3:
Weapons have limited uses and once their gone they are GONE. Each chapter has one
specific objective. The maps are smaller but this allows for greater strategy.
Furthermore Conversations are now hidden..you have to figure out who wants to talk
to who. Certain characters have Special Exclusive weapons available only to them
and you have to play through the game Twice to see all the characters: Certain
characters won't join if you recruit someone, and a little after halfway through
the game you have to make a choice which results in diffrent stages and characters
appearing. FE5 is EASILY the most complex game in the Series and has ALOT of Hidden
stuff in it!
As usual, Intelligent Systems, Nintendo, N64, Super Famicom, and any other items
or ideas belonging to someone else belong to them and not me. This Guide however,
does. It was not written for profit and should never be used for profit. Any use
of this guide must include this disclaimer. Use of this guide for Profit, and Use
of this guide without giving me proper credit will be met with the appropriate legal
Game Information
Alot has changed since FE4 and this section will deal with it. Many familer
things such as skills and weapons return, but with new complications. Certain things
show up for the first time. There are new features, new ways to lose, new ways to
win and even completly unique maps. Starting off will be the variety of maps you
will face:
Type number one:
"Hello! I'm the boss! Come to my castle, kill me and then have Leif
conquer it!" This is one of the more common types of map and the one most familer
to people. The objective is the same as it's always been: Get Leif to the castle,
throne, whatever, Kill whoever has plopped their ass on it and then have Leif conquer
it. There may or may not be reinforcements appearing throught the stage for the
Type Number Two:
" You'd better run like there's a fire up your butt 'cause your being
A new type of map that is introduced in FE5 and probibly the most common of
the new map types. Somewhere on the map is a red arrow. The goal of this map is
to get Leif to the red arrow. Sounds simple? It ain't. These maps usualy have a
mass of Enemys coming at your back..not to mention whatever is keeping you from
the arrow. Add in the fact that everyone has to leave via the arrow BEFORE Leif
or be considered Dead and you have a scenario that can tax your tactical ability.
The Enemy ALWAYS has a Constant stream of reinforcements coming at you.
Type Number Three:
"Pick your Poison!"
There is only one of these maps as far I've played(I've gotten up to chapter
23..there are 24 chapters). In this map(Chapter 15) you have 2 blue arrows: one
on the left and one on the right. The main Idea is you have to choose from which
route your gonna invade Lenstar from. If you go east you'll have a Type 2 stage
followed by a rather easy Lenstarr assualt. If you go west you'll have more stiff
defenses to break through but get more characters and items out of it. BTW...If
your going to go west then have Leif go to the church on the map first, that way
you can get Suluf to join your team. I also don't recomend you don't go west if
you have Orean in your party. One of the characters you can gain from the west route
won't join you if Orean has. This stage has reinforcements.
Type Number Four:
"Defend the Damn Temple/Throne/Town/Whatever"
My favorite type of the new map styles. This reverses the roles: Now
YOU have your Ass on the throne/town/whatever and your supposed to keep the enemy
from getting at it. Faced with Overwhelming Odds and near infinte reinforcements
these stages put your defensive tactics to the test. These stages have a time limit:
You basicly have to survive X number of rounds to win the stage. Savoir these when
you can...their some of the most fun you can get.
Type Number Four Variant:
This is a combination of Type's 2 and 4. Not only do you have to get
everyone out via the Red arrow but the red arrow is now on a castle that you have
to defend until everyone is off of the map.
Gaiden Stages:
Certain stages in FE5 have special criteria that, when met, will open up a
Bonus Gaiden stage. These Gaiden stages are often filled to the brim with excellent
characters and items and always use the 'Night Combat' rules. Know Criteria for
Gaiden stages are:
Chapter 2 Gaiden: Vist all the houses in Chapter 2
Chapter 4 Gaiden: Let all 6 Civilians flee the map
Chapter 8 Gaiden: Capture the boss of Chapter 8.
Chapter 11 Gaiden: Clear the stage within 20 Turns
Chapter 12 Gaiden: Capture Seiram and clear the stage within 20 Turns.
Chapter 14 Gaiden: Vist all the houses within Tahra's walls in chapter 14.
Chapter 21 Gaiden: Have someone get captured before/during chapter 19
Chapter 24 Gaiden: Get the Cure (Kia) staff
Changes to the weapon system:
Okay. There's a greater variety of weapons for you to slaughter you enemys
with, but it comes at a price. Every weapon comes with a set number of uses ranging
from 3-60. Once a weapon is broken thats it: You can't repair it. Saphy has a repair
staff but that can only be used 5 times and should be used for 5 very Special Weapons.
Furthermore the are weapons which give skills when equipped. These are rather
straight forward: Equip something like the Elite sword and get the Elite skill.
Weapons can also give a stat bonus when equipped. In this case as well as giving
the Elite skill the Elite Sword gives a +5 Defense bonus as well. Weapons can have
certain innate skills as well such as '2 Attacks' or 'Attack Bonus vs. something'.
To further complicate matters there are special exclusive weapons that only certain
people can use. These weapons are * rank and keyed to a certain person. Only the
person the weapon is keyed to can use it. Also returning from FE3 is the Clt rate:
the Percentage chance of a berserk hit. Weapon weight also has an addtion: The
weapons weight is asorbed by the characters body. Meaning that a weapon with a Weight
of 9 is weilded by a character with Body 10 then the weapon weight does not effect
the evade percetile. WHEW! That sure is alot! Oh yeah, one other note. Riazzah is
no longer gender specific..Anyone pocessing a B is Light magic can use it. One more
note..Magic is unaffected by Body, so there's no way to soak up it's evade lowering
weight. Try to avoid using Fire and Dark Magic..the books are heavy. Fire magic
sucks anyway, since Elfire is it's most powerful spell(Volcannon is nowhere to be
The Skills from FE4 make a return appearence but alot of them have been changed
from what they once were. Another neat thing is through the game you'll find skill
manuals which let you teach the person using it that skill..although their are some
skills that lack manuals. Also some weapons will give you a skill when they are
equipped. The following changes have been made to the Skill system overall:
Sword Skills(Sun, Moonlight, and Shooting Star Hit) now work on any weapon
as well as magic.
Furthermore these skills can be used Simultaniosly.
Malitia can learn Shooting Star Hit through a conversation with Shanam the
fruit in chapter 15.
No one will ever learn life.
The following skills have no Manuals:
Big Shield
Shooting Star Hit
The skills and how they work in FE5 are as follows:
Wrath: Everyone's favorite skill has been given a Major overhaul. On a counter
attack it raises CLT by 7 points for every Skill point the character pocesses. Even
though Stand Ground was changed, it still seems to work on it, although it seems
Stand Groudn (Formerly translated as "Pinch Strike"): PS now gives you the
First Attack ALWAYS. And it still effects Wrath, to boot!
Awareness: It no longer prevents berserk hits but still keeps Skills from
functioning against it.
It nullifys the Extra damage of Arrows against flying units...but that's it. Iron
Cutters, Pole Axes, Hammers, Knight Killers, and Shooters still inflict extra
damage against their particuler units.
Sun Hit: Functions the same as FE4...restoring HP equal to the Damage dealt.
Moonlight hit: Functions the same as FE4 but since it can be used with Magic
as well as Physical attacks it has now become the ultimate in Can-Opener technology.
Duel: Works the same as FE4...Iniatiates another round of combat. It
activates alot more often now..and can activate on No Retaliation attacks(In other
words...If it activates on a character attacked by a Shooter the shooter will attack
Dance: Same as in all the FE games, Can only be used on 1 character.
Big Shield: Same too..but it's now Keyed to the Baron class...Generals don't
recieve it. Xavier is the sole exception.
Life: Only Beldo (the last boss) has this skill. Will restore a portion of
character HP at the beginning of your turn.
Charisma: Charisma gives a +10% to hit ratio and evade within a 3 tile radius.
You no longer must bring Delmud within suicide range to use his Charisma skill,
thank car!
Elite: Same as in FE4...2x Experience
Continue: Same as FE4...Strike again after you attack
Advancing: No Longer a Skill, any Unit can pull Advancing off on someone if
their speed is 4 higher than their target.
Prayer: The evade bonus is lower than it was in FE4, but it's always turned
on now and increases in power as HP decreases.
Bargain: Same as FE4, Half Price Buying and Full price selling, Shannam is
the only character with this Skill.
Steal: Allows stealing of items. If item is Less then stealers body weight
then it may be lifted. Targets with a speed higher than your thief's speed can't
be robbed.
The Stats:
FE5 has changed the traditional stat system around. Magic and MDef are the
same Stat and Body has replaced MDef. Body works like this: it affects Evade(It
abosrbs Weapon Weight) It determines what can be stolen and it determines the
maximum weight character the character can capture.
Stat Explanation:
Strength: This is the base damage you inflict with a Weapon.
2 Functions:
Magic Defense: Subtract this number from the amount of Damage
a Magical Based attack does.
Magic Attack: Base Damage you inflict with a Magical Attack
Skill: Affects base chance to Hit, Base CLT rating and Wraith Clt Rating.
Speed: Affects both base Dodging and Base Hitting Ability
Luck: Affects base Dodging Ability
Build: Max Capturing Capability.
Something new to FE5 is the Capture command. Capture can be used when
Users Body is greater then the person to be captured. If the victim has no weapon
they are automaticly captured. If they have a weapon you have to take them down
to Zero HP. Note that when using capture and when holding a person all stats save
Luck and HP are reduced by half. By Capturing an Enemy you can strip them of their
items and in a few cases having a that character being carried by someone they will
join you next Chapter(Rivis and Seiram). Note that your party members and can pick
and carry each other around the same way except there is no need to reduce HP to
Movement Stars and Leadership stars:
During Leif's quest to retake Lenstar he'll be aided by many groups
like the Fiana Braves, Magi Squad, etc. These squads retain their structure in
Leif's Army, even though they say Leif's Army in their leadership squad. The leaders
of these squads thus have a leadership rating that works a bit diffrently then Leifs.
Each Leader gives their squad some sort of bonus: Ex: Evele gives the Fiana braves
a Bonus to Clt and Evade. Furthermore each Squad sometimes has a Subleader..but
I don't know if the subleaders give a bonus. Note: Some Subleaders give a Bonus.
Still working on WHICH Ones, as well as the Specific Bonuses given.
Known Squads:
Fiana Braves:
Leader: Evele
Members: Othin, Halvan
Something (Yakima?) Mountain Gang:
Leader: Dagudar
Members: Tanya, Marty
Magi Squad:
Leader: Sety
Sub Leader: Machua
Dandylion Group(Pahns Gang):
Leader: Pahn
Sub Leader: None
Rivis Gang:
Leader: Rivis
Sub Leader: Shiva
Lenstar Knights:
Leader: Glade
Sub Leader: Selphina
Furthermore some units have a Romantic Relationship and give each other
bonuses when next to each other.
Known Pairs:
Machua and Brighton
Fergus and Karin
Fred and Orean
Saphy and Rivis or Shiva (Love Triangle)
Shanam and Homer (eww)
Selfina and Glade (married)
Dean and Linoan
Leaf and Nanna
Salem and Sara
Sleuf and Amalda
Miranda and Conomoor
Othin and Tanya
Pirn and Laura
Finn and Glade(Best Friends)
Movement stars:
A new additon is that certain characters now have a Movement star rating.
These movement stars are worth a 10% chance each(So 3 stars equal 30%) of getting
to move again after promforming an action.
A new statistic is the Fatigue level which is initalized after Chapter 7.
Basicly as a character moves, fights, and heals their fatigue level rises. When
Fatigue is greater then Max HP the character cannot be used for the next map.
Weapon Levels:
A Character often starts with a base Weapon Level like only E or D but, as
they fight with that weapon, their skill will eventually rise.
All Characters except Leif , Linoan, and promoted characters, promote at
Level 10, although it is reccomended to wait until level 20. Leif promotes at the
end of chapter 18. Rionan promotes through an Event in chapter 21. In order to
promote(For everyone else) you need the Item 'Knights Proof'
Miscellanious changes:
Night Combat:
Certain maps are set to take place at night. These maps are pitch black
except for a 3 square around each character. A Torch or Torch Staff may be used
to light up the Surronding 10 squares with the Radius decreasing by 1 at the
beginning of every turn. All Gaiden maps take place under Night Conditions.
Indoors all units fight dismounted. Otherwise a unit may fight
dismounted by simply dismounting as their action. Note all dismounted characters
fight with swords.

Unit Information
The Roster:
Once again your main character is of the Lord class and suffers from
Chronic sucky leader syndrome. Using only swords this class is at a disadvantage
during many of the chase style maps. Give him any power up rings you find to make
him somewhat useful. It is also reccomended that he be given the Sun Hit Manual
The Lord's promotion. This class has the unique distinction of offering
nothing at all different from the lord class save starting at Level 1. Oh well...at
least he gains levels fast.
Axe Fighter:
Given a major overhaul since Fire Emblem 4 these guys are DANGEROUS!
High Speed and Skill results in an insane evade rate and berserk percentage. Treat
these guys like a Swordfighter with a bigger stick. Luckily there are only 2 of
them and their on your side.
The Promoted form of an Axe fighter. Gains the ability to use Swords
as well as Axes. These guys are some of the vicous fighters you'll face. Pocessing
High stats all around treat them with extreme caution.
Downgraded since FE4 their stats are nowhere near as high as before.
As long as you don't throw an Axe user against them you should be okay. As they
gain levels they vastly improve so watch out.
Sword Master/Mistress:
Everybody's favorite class returns! As Demonic as Ever these are an
extreme threat. Treat them like you would a Rabid wombat because their just as
viscous in close corners. Luckily you only run into one or 2 of them and their usually
poorly equipped but be careful because they can surprise you.
The Lucky Charms of the Fire Emblem world returns and as usual they
are far from being magically delishious. The computer loves to give these guys
killer equipment and they use Mob tactics against you turning these guys into a
much bigger threat then they once posed. Use Can-Opener tactics around them.
Vastly improved from previous FE games Generals can be a pain in the
neck to fight. They are usualy armed with Master equipment and have close to a Twenty
defense. When you add it to the fact their usually sitting on the Castle/Throne
and gain a +10 defense from it you have a serious tactical hazard on your hands.
Axe Knights:
They gave the Axe Fighter a complete overhaul but seemed to forget to
fix this class =p. There's nothing speical about it at all except as you get towards
the end of the game these guys always seem to show up with Halberds(Anti Knight).
Great Knights:
An Axe Knight with bigger defense and....That's it.
Pegasus Rider:
Ugh. This class got a serious downgrade. No Longer pocessing the
ability to use Swords mounted and lacking defense they are easy to shoot down. Their
lightning fast though! Watch out 'cause the comp loves to use these with Knight
Pegasus Knight:
Basicly a P. Rider with better stats. Still rather powerful, there's
only one of these you'll face and you can convert her.
Dragon Rider:
It's almost a carbon copy of a PKnight...Seriously. It has SLIGHTLY
Higher defense but that's it.
Dragon Knight:
Muuuuch better defense wise and high speed as well. Unfortunetly all
the flying classes were downgraded in FE5 =p
Pocessing anything from Sandaa Storm to El-Fire to Wind these guys can
be a pain to fry. They don't usually come in a mixed bag though..so if you fry a
Wind Using mage except more on the way
Enemy only Mage promotion. Usually armed with a Libro Staff and either
Blizzard, Meteor or Sandaa Storm. Basicly shooters that can heal. Move in quickly
and run 'em through in Melee combat.
Mage Knight/Mage Fighter:
Mage Knight Mounted, Mage fighter dismounted. A Fairly good class
mixing the best parts of a Mage with a Social knight. They can use swords but don't
bother. Usual weapons include a Rapier and Torron.
Asvels promotion, Sety's base class. Pocessing the Ability
to(Potentialy) use any Staff or Magic except for Dark magic these can be a terror
on the battle field. Feel glad you don't have to fight these!
Ropto Mage:
Seiram's base class. Like a reverse Sage. Uses Staves, Dark Magic, and
Elemental magic. It has speed like a brick though.
Dark mage:
Ropto Mage promotion. Not much different from a Ropto Mage except they
aren't as slow(but still pretty sluggish). Good defense for a Mage and can capture.
Thieves are some of your biggest pain in the asses. Pocessing the
Ability to destroy towns and houses AND relieve you of all your weapons at the same
time I recomend you target and destroy these guys ASAP. Typically they're also
good for borrowing spair Thief keys from.
Theif Fighter:
EXTREMLY Dangerous!! Pocessing the Innate power of Pinch Strike these
guys can off you before you can draw a breath! Approch with extreme caution and
beware...They can lift your valuables as well.
The Enemy has these this time! These guys can be your biggest headache
and have been clinicly proven to cause Migraines. The bane of any and all strategys
Dancers should be killer or incapacitated as soon as possible. Laura is your dancer
but she has to promote to it by talking to Pahn in Chapter 12 Gaiden.
Isn't nearly as cool as it was in FE4. Rather bland actually. I..can't
really think of anything else to say...
Taking after Fire Emblem 3 FE5 gives you a large variety of characters to
choose from to make your battle party. However, because of the new Fatique stat,
alot more of them will be seeing battle action.
This is just a section I made up. They don't say this in the game but I thought
it would be interesting to see who is loyal to who and who fights with who.

Character Descriptions:
Son of Prince Cuan of Lenstarr and Princess Ethrin of Chalphy, The Noble and
Holy blood of Baldo and Noba pound through Leifs veins. Pocessor of the 'Hikari
No Ken'(Sword of Light) which was Given to his mother by Diadora and passed down
to him, He was orhpaned as an Infant when his parents were ambushed crossing the
Yied Desert by Torobant. Saved by the Young Lance Knight Finn he grew up in exile.
Now, events will force him to accept his Birthright and lead him to liberate his
ancesteral home of Lenstarr from the Invading forces of Freige, Alster, and
Leif is your main character, and as such suffers from Chronic Fire Emblem Sucky
leader syndrome. He has the Personal Skill of Continue, allowing him an oppurtunity
to gain a second swipe with his sword following his first attack. His Stats, however,
suck. Unlike Fire Emblem 4, where he had a Ridicuously high Skill, Power, and Defense,
this time around Leif will have, at best, Medium high speed and luck. His greatest
asset is the Hikari No Ken he starts with, which gives him +10 to his Luck score,
Hits at range with a Lighting spell and when used as an Item heals him completly.
During the course of the game, if you recieve one, it is reccomended that Leif be
given the Taiyoken(Sun Hit) Skill manual.
Lance Knight of Lenstarr, famous for his Involvment with Sigurd in the
Invasion of Augustria. Finn returned to Lenstarr with Ethrin and Cuan after they
left Silesia, but was left behind when Cuan and Ethrin left for the Yied Desert.
During the tragic events which followed that chapter in Grandbells History Finn
fled Castle Lenstarr with the Infant Leif and headed southeast to the Village of
Fiana. Strong, Brave, and Steadfast Finn's loyalty to Leif and the Lenstarr Royalty
is absolute. He considers his Hero Lance, given to him by Prince Cuan, to be his
greatest treasure.
Finn, not surprisingly, Wrecks havoc with his Hero Lance. The +10 it gives
tio Luck, coupled with his own Natural Speed, allows him to evade most
attacks...even against Axe weilders. You'd be well advised to include Finn in your
squad, as he is one of the top units in the game. Finn pocesses the Innate skill
of Prayer, which raises his dodging ability when his HP is at critical levels.
The Plucky Daughter of Finn and The Princess of Nodion and inheritor of the
Blood of Hezul Lachesis, Nanna is nowehre NEAR the Priss her mother was. Kindhearted
and caring, Nana took up the Healers Staff in addition to her sword to be of help
to Leif. It is a not so well Kept Secret that Nana and Leif have a Crush on each
other. Nanna's personal Treasure is the Dachi No Ken(Earth Sword) that belonged
to her Mother. Like her Mother, Nanna is very Charismatic and can encourage nearby
units to fight better.
Nanna rocks. In FE4 she suffered a large lack of Offensive Prowess, but that
was fixed this time around. Seriously except to her to Max at least Magic. Her gains
are somewhat lopsided...some levels you'll gain nothing, others she'll gain
something to almost every stat. Her Dachi No Ken acts like Leifs Sword, allowing
her to cast the spell Riazzah at range. However, at close range it has the effect
of Sun Hit with every attack.
The leader of the Fiana Braves, a local group of fighters who protect the
village from pirates and thieves, Evele is a direct Descendent of Bridget. However,
unlike most of the Ulir house who specilize in Bow Combat, she has a fighting style
similar to the Swordmasters of Issac. Noble and Brave, Evele will suffer a Tragic
Fate early in the game.
Evele is ONE of FE5's Jeigan, and is only around for a Few Chapters. Her main
purpose to act as a Bodyguard for Nanna in chapter 5. There's nothing really to
say about her.
Leader of the Mountain Brigad, which works with the Fiana braves to protect
the locals. Robust and Friendly, Dagda has a soft spot for his Daughter Tania.
Dagda is the OTHER Jeigan^_~ Use him until you feel you don't need him to
abosrb Damage. His Hammer is also quite convinientlly matched off to the chapter
1 boss' forehead.
A somewhat dim witted Mountain Theif working for Dagda. He has a crush on
Tania, but the feeling is not mutual. However, he will follow her to the ends of
the earth.
Marty has one thing going for him: Ridiculously High Body and HP. Use him
for Capturing. Otherwise he sucks.
The Loudspoken Daughter of Dagda and a Certified Tomboy, Tania has a Love
Hate relationship with Oushin of the Fiana Braves.
The Surprise character of the game. Tania gains DEMON Levels and will quickly
become one of your better units.
A Remarkable Member of the Fiana Braves, Oushins Axe weilding Skills are
second to none. Somewhat Coarse, him and Tania Care for each other very much but
don't like to show it. Using his Custom Made 'Pugi' Axe, Oushin is a terror on the
Wondering who the Lackhe of this game would be? Look no further. To this day
debates on wether Lackhe or Oushin would win a fight still rock the FE Community...
Another Fiana Brave, Halvan is quiet and often overlooked. Him and Oushin
have a Relationship similar to Kain and Abel of FE3 and Alec and Noishe of FE4.
The 2 are constantly striving to prove who the better fighter is. With his Personal
Hero Axe, Halvan belives that one day he will Surpass Oushin once and for all.
Halvan proves to be a Darkhorse. Although he dosen't look like it he can be
a solid member of the party. Just don't expect Oushin level carnage.
The Adopted Sister of Evele. Both Evele and Malitia are VERY close, to the
point they would take an Arrow for the other. Malitia bears a Strange birthmark
on her Shoulder...
Psycho Psycho Psycho..That describes Malitia. If Oushin is Lackhe with an
Axe then Malitia is Lakche reincarnated. Her Personal Weapon, The Malitia No
Ken(Sword of Malitia) wrecks so Much Havoc it isn't funny. If you don't use her
then your nuts.
A Bow fighter from a local town, Ronan could not watch the suffering of the
people without feeling a Stirring in his heart. Saying farewell to his Mother he
takes up his Bow and Arrow and pledges them to Leif's cause.
The other foot based Bow Fighter in FE5, Ronan dosen't have the sheer stats
of Tania, but he makes it up with Movement stars and Personal Skills. Worth using,
but considering the Lack of any really good bows you might wanna leave him in
A Young Theif who broke off of the Main Lenstarr theieves guild, Rivis formed
his own Pirate group with his Best friend Shiva. He is head over Heels in love with
the Priest Saphy.
Rivis is potentially the most powerful unit you'll have. His base Combat Stats
are ALL High, and depending on how much Body he gains from levels he'll be able
to swipe pretty much anything from an Enemy. Use Rivis or weep!
A Young Priestess from the Holy City Tahra, Saphy and her Sister Tina were
captured by the Dandylion Group led by Pahn. During her stay there she found herself
falling in love not only with Rivis but his friend Shiva as well. Out of Love for
the both of them she followed Rivis in his break off from the Main Guild. A Gentle
souled person, Saphy pocesses a Unqiue Staff that can repair wear and tear on
Saphy is here for one reason..The Repair Staff! Pocessing 5 charges and the
only one in the game, You should think long and hard about which Weapons you use
it on. I suggest that you use it on AT LEAST the Hikari No Ken(Which will probibly
need it around Chapter 8) and the Earth Sword.
A Mysterious Young Warrior that says little and lets his action speak for
him. Despite his unfriendly exterior he is fircely loyal to his Friend Rivis, and
would lay his life down on the line for Saphy. Pocessing a Smooth and Unique
Swordfighting Style, Shiva is a terror on the Battlefield.
Shiva, quite simply, is awesome. Promoting to Swordmaster and coming with
a Kill Sword, he is EASILY one of the more devastating units in the game. Like Rivis,
Use him or WEEP!
A Warrior in the Manster Army, he is forced to fight for Ledric when his
Younger brother is Kidnapped and Imprissioned. Perhaps if Leif could save him then
this Stalwart Warrior would lend his Mighty Axe to the cause...
Dalshien is AMAZING! You woulden't BELIEVE what this Guy can do! Give him
either a Killer Axe, or up his Weapon Skill when he promotes and give him a Knight
Killer, and he can level a Battlefield. SERIOUSLY Expect him to Max Defense and
Build! (In the first three chapters!)
A Manster revolutionary, he is waiting for a chance to rebel against Ledric.
Perhaps if Leif could contact him then he might join the cause..
Hicks Sucks. Seriously. His ONLY Redeeming Virtue is he gives you a Pole
Axe..which you won't see for a LONG time at the point you can get him.
A Member of the Royal House of Issac, He is currently a Slave under the
pocession of Ledric. He too bears an Odd Birthmark on his shoulder and is scouring
the Countryside for a similar marking. Perhaps Malitia could persuade him to help
out Leif?
The first time you see Galzas he appears as an Enemy and starts chasing you.
At this point you have probibly Pissed your pants. He is a Level 20 Promoted
Character with Near Max stats. He comes with a Master Sword, one of the best weapons
in the game. After your done running screaming like alittle Pansy from him, you
won't see him again until the Next to last stage, where you'll get a chance to convert
Seiram:(Done by Fox Astron)
Seiram is one of two male members of the Dandylion team, Not including Pahn
himself as Pahn runs the show, so he's not really a "member" by some nutty criteria...
go fig. Seiram has Ropto cult ties, which isquite obviously reflected by his Ropto
Mage class.Dedicated to helping his friend and leader, Seiram doesn't quite wantto
let you into the Dandylion team's base, so you'll have to drag himin, screaming
and kicking all the way.
Seiram isn't quite the strongest character at first, in all due honesty, he
sucks. However, he wins the award for being the mostamazing turnaround character,
if you give him the right scroll combo. My personal recommendation the combo of
Baldo, Neir, Fala, Dain,Ulir, and Blaggi, which give an average net gain to
everything, as wellas a nice massive increase to luck and defense. While Yotsumgand
wielding might SEEM fun, do remember, that magic's weight directlyaffects speed,
bypassing the build stat all together. Mypersonal preference for Seiram is to have
him with Sandaa or Wind magic. (preferrably wind, if available) Seiram fits himself
into a nitch by being able to Capture once he's promoted, aside from that,treat
him as an evil sage. When handing out skill manuals, youmight consider giving him
the Continue manual, which will let you getaway with using Yotsumgand on low speed
T's note: Fox hasn't tried this yet but I've had GREAT Success with giving Seiram
the Moonlight and Pinch Strike manuals. Pinch Strike insures that Seiram gets the
first hit, and if Moonlight hits then their gonna be feeling the full might of
Yotsumgand, which is a pretty powerful spell.
Tolud:(Done By Fox Astron)
The Other Male of the Dandylion Team, Tolud is fiercely dedicated to keeping
you on the other side of the fortress, and will need a littlebit of... persuading
before he comes willingly. (At least you don'thave to drag him off of the map,
screaming and kicking allthe way, like some red haired nut... :^)
Tolud, aside from the fact that he starts pretty average, turns out toend
up quite similar to Malita at higher levels, excepting that he has no sword skills.
He also starts with B level swords and has Awareness,which allows him to start off
pretty high up the EQtree for a level 8 sword fighter. Give him the appropriate
scrolls,but don't expect him to be anything huge, he's mainly here to use
whileMalita's recovering from a maxed exaustion stat. If you're distributing skill
manuals, Tolud would make good use of eitherGekkouken (Moonlight sword) or
Taiyouken (Sun Sword).
Robert: (Done By Fox Astron)
Robert is one of Selfina and Glade's team members. He starts out with Selfina
in chapter 9, and probably wins the award for lack of dialog and plot purpose. (One
line in the entire game, period.)
Robert's true purpose is to provide you with a decent Arch Knight, as Selfina
doesn't quite make the cut. He gets good stats at higher levels, especially with
scrolls, but you just have to hang in for the wait until he gets there. With a little
luck, a few scrolls,and some Killer Bows, this guy could very well end up in your
final combat team. A good canidate for the Duel Manual.
Kein: (Done by Fox Astron)
FE1/3 had Kain... FE2 had Matilda... FE4 had Ares... FEV has Kein. Kein is
another one of Selfina and Glade's team members, and he very easily joins the great
FE knights. Albeit, he's quite similar to Robert in the fact that he has one line
in the entire game...
Kein... Oh blazes, I cannot say enough good things about this guy, not only
does he gain 5~6 stat levels, he's one of the few Lance Knights who I use indoors.
I strongly recommend that you level Kein, with or without scrolls. With scrolls
is nice, as he's a bit lacking in the Magic department. Kein's battle preformance
is nothing short of spectacular, and expect him to level entire armies with a broken
spear. If you really want a big Kein, try giving him the Wrath Manual or Pinch Strike
Loyal Lenstar lance fighter. Alva is under the command of Selfina.
Sorry..not much to say here. Like Robert and Kein he has like ONE line in
the game, so you don't really find out much about him. Whereas Kein was the
Reincarnation of Kain, Alva is the reincarnation of Abel. Like Abel he gains speed
and Skill very fast. If you REALLY like Lance Knights(And can Pick up some Knight
Killer/Great Lances/Silver Lances) He makes a Great guy to use if you've picked
all your favorites and need to fill in a few slots.
Sety's apprentice, Asvel worships the ground that the Prince of Silesia walks
on. Whenever Sety goes, Asvel goes. That is, until Sety, who was unable to leave
Manster Castle, sent Asvel to help Leif.
Asvel is...Like an Insane Cross Between Sety and Maric. He's argurably
the most powerful Mage in the game. His personal weapon, Grafcalibir(Bad FE
Makers..That should be Excalibur!) is the Replacement for Elwind. It has the HIGHEST
Base Clt(40, largest CLT of any weapon in FE history, ever.) along with alot of
power. Quite Obviously, Asvel was made for wind magic, But you'll also have pleasent
results giving him Thunder Magic as well. Sety promotes into the Uber-Awesome Sage
class, and gains his Staff Levels rather fast. All in All Asvel can safely be graded
as 'One awesome little Wizard..'
The Lover of Machua, the Second in Command of the Magi Squad led by Sety.
Brighton is a Strong Arm Type of guy, often getting bossed around by Machua. He
is, however, a Loyal and trustworthy companion.
Brighton is the games Second Axe Knight, and unlike Hix is VERY powerful.
He has Wrath, and that means Berserks out the Wazoo. If you ever need the Power
of an Axe(I've found he works well with Halvans Hero Axe) then he's a great guy
to use. He's ALSO one of the VERY Few Non-Swordusing Mounted characters I'll bring
with me for an interior map, as He has very High Defense, Strength, and Skill.
The Second in Command of the Magi Squad and Brightons Lover. Machua has a
bit of a bossy personality, but she means well. It was she who spearheaded Leif's
escape from Manster's Dungeon when she went in to Release Karin and Fergus.
Machua is worth using for the Sole Fact that she promotes into a Mercenary,
rather then a SwordMaster like the other swordfighters. As a Mercenary she benefits
from a Higher Defense then a Swordmaster, as well as strength. Due to her Previous
Class as a Swordfighter she'll end up with a Higher Speed Skill then the other
mercenarys. All in all she ends up rather balenced.
Son of Beowulf, the Infamous Mercenry who fought on Sigurds Side during the
1st half of FE4. Delmund also has ties to the house of Hezul, although he is not
realted directly to either Elsotsian or Lachiesis(T's note: I don't know WHATS up
with him..he's DEFINETLY Beowulfs Son(To a nameless girl)..but he can use the Blaggi
no Ken, which only someone of Hezul or Baldo Blood can weild...Weird..)
Fergus manges to break out of the Free Knight's trend of being about as Mobile
as a Brick..by being SLIGHTLY more Mobile. Seriously..he has a decent, but not very
high evade score. Fergus is an excellent follow through character, since he has
both a High Strength AND Magic score...and the fact that he can use the EXCELLENT
Beo No Ken Sword.
Note from Fox: Fergus' stats mimic a certain Mercenary from hell named Oguma. If
you've played FE3, you already know how to use Fergus.
Karin was sent by Queen Fury of Silesia to drag back her Son and Inheritor
to the Holsety Spell Sety...but was captured and imprisoned in Manster
castle..where she met and fell in love with the rougish free knight Fergus.
What is it with the FE development crew and Psycho Pegasus Knights? Karin
gets RIDICULOUSLY High Strength for a Pegasus knight...coupled with the Innate
Speed of her class and a high Skill level...Karins one shortcoming is her low body
score..which means that most of the good lances will Drag her Evade down...she is
also rather inept with swords, so you don't wanna use her on interior maps. I
recomend giving her a Thin
Lance, Javelin and Knight Killer and go do some Air Raids on Calvary^_~
ANOTHER Loyal Lenster Knight, Karion reunites and pledges himself to Leif
once Hannibal saves him while fleeing from Manster Castle.
*Starts bowing and worshipping* If there was ever a Character you didn't think would
kick ass then it is Karion. I can't praise this guy enough. Give him a Baldo and
Heim Scroll and SERIOUSLY Excpect him to Max AT LEAST 4 stats. He gains Sword Levels
ridicously Fast, he starts off with a High Lance Rank...Oh..Did I mention he's a
Social Knight Competent with Lances? That he loses Practicaly NOTHING when he goes
into an Interior Map? Dear Lord...THIS is the Guy to give your Sleep Sword and Hero
Sword too.
Misha: (Gaps filled in by Fox)
Misha is the Daughter of one of Deetvar/Ditoba (Translation varies) from FE4.
Silesia has suffered under the rule of Grandbell, causing it's economy to collapse,
leaving a hefty portion of the population quite hungry. Misha and her mercenary
squad of Pegasi joined the Manster army to earn money so that Misha could provide
food to starving kids in Silesia.
Misha is often Debunked by most FE Players..but me being a Pegasus Knight fan,
Decided to use her. She starts Promoted and lacks a high Strength, but her gains
in Skill and Speed are better then Karins. Unlike Karen, she is a good choice for
Interior Battles..and she comes with the Kaze Ken(Wind Sword) to boot! That, BTW,
is the weapon of Choice for her, Mounted or Unmounted.
Selfina: (House owner filled in by Fox)
Gried's wife and Sub-Commander of the remaning Forces of Lenstarr..She has been
hiding in Hannibal's house in the Mountains with several of her subordinates when
she hears that Prince Leif still lives. Revealing her prescense, she and her forces
Vow to remain steadfast until Leif can reinforce her.
Selfina is the other Arch Knight you get, but unlike Robot she gets really low
Stats. The best thing about Selfina is that, By having Karion talk to her Karion
will get the Elite Sword, and by having her talk to Gried, you will get the Hero
Bow. Other then that she isn't worth using.
More characters to be added later....
