Author's Note:
This is the first guide that I have ever written so if anyone sees any
mistakes or thinks there is something I
should add let me know. But considering the age of the game I doubt too
many people will be reading this. I can
give you a gaurantee; If you follow these levels and the little startegies
and tips included then Vay should be
VERY LITTLE trouble at all. I have been known to be a bit of a level freak
and my levels are normally considerably
higher than most peoples.

II. About this guide:
This being my first guide and all i figured I would keep it nice and simple
and make a level guide to an old game
that was recently made available to play agian by the wonders of emulation
(thank you creators of Gens). This guide will
give you a simple breakdown of the areas of the game and MY LEVELS at these
areas. I can't stress this enough, THESE ARE MY
LEVELS!!! You don't need to be on these levels so don't email me saying that
you aren't at this level or that one so is it
still possible to get through. I will answer that question now:
Yes, It is most likely possible to beat the area at your level. I have been
known for being VERY thorough with my levels and
the are (in some peoples opinions) outrageous. For example, if anyone has
seen the back of the case of Vay you will notice
that there is a picture of a party at the last boss with levels as follows:
Sandor: 39
Lynx: 38
Kinsey: 37
If anyone notices Sandor and PJ are at greater than L 41 at Treefall Village
and Lynx is at L 38 before I got to Fire Lake in my
game and Kinsey was at L 38 soon after I got her. So technically my
characters had high enough levels to beat the game when I was
only 3/4 complete.
This guide will also offer some secrets you may miss your first time through
that could be helpful, some good things to do with
equipment, general boss strategy, and good places for levels when going
through the areas.
III. Character Intro:
A. Sandor:
Description: He is the basic hero of this game and would-be strongest
fighter. He will do atacking all of the time and should heal
with magic when OUT OF battle. His magic sucks and wont get spells past
like level 10.
Stats (starts Level 1)
Strength..............3 Luck................3
HP................19 Attack......................11
Agility...............3 Wisdom..............3

Balm 10 1 Will do minor healing, the primary out of battle
healing spell throughout the game
Flame 5 3 Weak Fire Magic attack (well weak when cast by
Blaze 10 10 Stronger than flame but still useless from Sandor
B. Pottle
Description: He is a little annoying elf character used for comic relief.
Uses bows and will be useful agianst flying enemies
(because of the bow) and as a setup man. By "setup man" I mean that he will
attack a monster and weaken it enough that Sandor or
Rachel can kill it. Will have magic to rival PJ and just as much MP as her
but MORE HP. Sadly he has the same strength as PJ : (
Stats (starts Level 2) will need some leveling

Freezyr 25 18 Mutes Enemy (waste of MP)
Inferno 40 22 Strong Fire spell that will really help
throughout the game
Malybu 20 14 Multi enemy fire attack (great throughout game)
Neuman 40 6 Healing spell, supposedly stronger than Balm
Narcosis 20 ?? Puts enemy to sleep but dont bother with it
Vilkyss 30 14 Removes all status effects
C. Rachel
Description: Hands down the strongest fighter in the game. Early on she
will tower over Sandor when her levels finally catch up.
Its a shame to see her go because of her natural strangth and defense.
Stats (starts Level 8) will need some leveling
Strength..............32 Luck................8
HP....................144 Attack.................52
Agility...............29 Wisdom..............8
MP....................40 Defense................32

MP ~Lvl Effect
Balm 10 1 Will do minor healing, the primary out of battle
healing spell throughout the game
D: Prudence Jurissa ( PJ )
Description: She will be the primary magic user of the group. Watch out
for her terrible defense and lower HP.
As the game progresses your strategy with her during battle will have to be
adjusted. See Hints section for her
evolution. NEVER HAVE HER USE HEALING MAGIC NEVER!!
Stats (starts Level 16) surprisingly she is at a decent level i guess i was
going light early on
Strength..............16 Luck................32
HP.................240 Attack...................29
Agility...............50 Wisdom..............72
MP.................112 Defense..................36
Level Note: attack by 1, luck by 2, agility will go up by 3 per level.
Wisdom by 4, HP by 15, MP by 7, and Defense by 1 per level.
MP ~Lvl Effect
Balm 10 ?? Will do minor healing, the primary out of
battle healing spell throughout the game
Flame 5 ?? Fire Magic attack (most usefull spell later in
Blaze 10 ?? Stronger than flame but not worth it
Blitz 40 18 All enemy lightning attack (expensive early
Befuddle 30 ?? Confuses enemy but useless (who uses these
spells anyway?)
Freezyr 25 ?? Mutes Enemy (waste of MP)
Inferno 40 22 Strong Fire spell that will really help
throughout the game
L-Bolt 30 ?? Single enemy lightning attack VERY VERY Strong
(great for bosses)
Malybu 20 ?? Multi enemy fire attack (great throughout
Megablast 50 40 Strongest attack, multi enemy lightning attack
(useful ony when in jam,costs too much)
Narcosis 20 ?? Puts enemy to sleep but dont bother with it
Neuman 40 ?? Sometimes heals more than balm and sometimes
not (healing is screwed up)
Restore 80 23 Heals all but sucks (plain and simple, also
costs too much)
Shock 15 ?? Nice little single enemy lightning attack
Spellbane 0 30's Steals MP from Enemy but who cares (I never
used it)
Thyxaal 100 30's Add strength for a single attacker for only
one attack
Vilkyss 30 ?? Removes all status effects
E: Lynx (Prince Leopard)
Description: Yet another prince to travel around with. The only difference
with this one is that he fights like the sissy prince he is.
He will be your primary healer in battle with his spell panacea and can use
both strong swords and spears. He is going to have to attack
since you need to rely on attacking but by only gaining 2 strength per level
he will be a little weaker than I would like. Keep in mind
that his spears are usually anti-mecha and there are a lot of mecha enemies
(including the final boss) so keep some anti-mecha spears
around even though they are a little weaker.
Stats (starts Level 21) Wow, bad level and will need serious help at this
Strength..............42 Luck................21
HP....................357 Attack...................122
Agility...............63 Wisdom..............99

Defense by 2 per level.
MP ~Lvl Effect
Alakazam 100 ?? Teleport you from Dungeon or battle
Freezyr 25 ?? Mutes Enemy (waste of MP)
Narcosis 20 ?? Puts enemy to sleep but dont bother with it
Neuman 40 ?? Sometimes heals more than balm and sometimes not
(healing is screwed up)
Panacea 150 40 Will heal entire party completely
Restore 80 23 Heals all but sucks (plain and simple, also costs
too much)
Thyxaal 100 30's Add strength for a single attacker for only one
Vilkyss 30 ?? Removes all status effects
F: Kinsey
Description: The pirate replacement for the mercenary who leaves (Rachel)
and what a sorry replacement she is. Kinsey is
SUPPOSED to replace Rachel but never will because she is WAY WEAKER. Kinsey
only gains 2 strength per level making her half
as atrong as Rachel would be at that level. The only thing that works to
her advantage is that she can equip the powerful
Odin's Blade (ATK +195). But just think is you double the strength she has
and adds the Odin's Blade....Watch out Vay Armor,
but alas it doesnt happen and you have another Lynx. I say combine Lynx and
Kinsey and you finally have a worthy attacker.
She also joins the party way too late and she never gets the chance to be
developed in the game and you have to kind of rush
her levels all into 3 or 4 areas. But now to her good points. Her defense
is through the roof and can epuip the awesome
plymetal armor, has high HP, and EXTREMELY high luck (whoopee). But the
high luck can make her double attack more often so
it almost evens out for her terrible attack. She does have AlaKazam so make
her escape from dungeons for you when you are weak.
Stats (starts Level 33) Are they NUTS!!! This is way too low; she is almost
useless at this point.
Strength..............66 Luck...............132
HP...................627 Attack...................155
Agility...............99 Wisdom..............33
MP...................165 Defense..................149
Level Note: attack by 2, luck by 4 (this girl gets lucky), agility will go
up by 3 per level. Wisdom by 1, HP by 19, MP by 5,
and Defense by 3 per level.
MP ~Lvl Effect
Alakazam 100 ?? Teleport you from Dungeon or battle
Shock 15 ?? Lightning attack to 1 enemy (no point for her to
have this)
IV. Level Guide
WARNING!!!! This may contain spoilers; not spoilers so much in plot but it
tells you when your characters are coming and going so there
is not surprises.
Also these levels that are written here are the levels that my party was at
when I entered the area and all levels I may have gained while
in that area are counted toward the next area.
A. Start
Sandor: 1
When you start Sandor is a little wuss so you are gonna want to level him
up. A good idea is to start off leveling him one level next to
Lorath Castle and then move to the next town and buy some new armor. Then
get him up to level 5 whiles NEAR (but not in) Pauth Cave and
running back to town if your HP gets low. Then when on 5 venture to the
left, around the mountains, and up to the next town and but their
BETTER armor. Then fight outside there for even more levels.
****specail note: See hints section for items most likely missed when you
B. Pauth Cave
Sandor: 8
Pottle: 2 (just thought I'd add him in here to show you what to
get him at to prepare for next area)
After Pauth you need to make Pottle useful. Take him to Smythe, buy him the
best weapons and armor and then level him up a bit outside.
Then go to Gilan, activate the sequence, and go into the underground to
fight the undead. They will give the best experience for this area
but are much harder. Give Pottle the silver knife to make him useful at low
levels or give it to Sandor and let him kill.
C. Fort Gilan
Sandor: 12
Pottle: 10
Your gonna need money for axes and filteration masks in the next area so go
back to the underground and fight the undead for the best money.
D. Droust Cave
Sandor: 13
Pottle: 11
Rachel: 8
Alright, I entered got Rachel and left to get her equipment since her
starting stuff sucks. I also leveled her up a bit then went BACK IN.
You may want to level up inside the cave leaving to heal in the town.
E. Magmal
Sandor: 15
Pottle: 14
Rachel: 12
Before you enter the Hapies outside give you great experience when in pairs
so get your levels up a bit out here first. Just wait until the
last set gets up and you'll be fully healed. You really shouldn't take much
damage from them though since Pottle should be able to take one
out alone and with Rachel and Sandor ganging the other they fall in 1 round
and you dont get hurt.
F. Kerzalt
Sandor: 16
Pottle: 15
Ranchel: 14
Wow, I'm surprised. PJ starts at a good level but its not good enough for
the Wind Elemental fight. This fight is tough at most levels.
To fight this enemy you need a lot of leveling when in Mt. Bole. I always
fight until Pottle and PJ both have Inferno and then go to Raxaal.
This makes Raxaal Cave a cake walk.
G. Raxaal Cave
Sandor: 22
Pottle: 22
Rachel: 20
Well, going through here is good for a level or so and if you feel spunky go
fight in Mt. Bole some more for a few more levels. This will help
with the upcoming fight. For that you need luck, skill, and lots of
H. Mt. Bole
Sandor: 23
Pottle: 23
Rachel: 21
Well have fun with the elemental, I hope your ready.
I. Danek Base
Sandor: 24
Pottle: 24
Rachel: 23
I didn't really level up much here. Just make sure you bought all of the
best stuff from the previous town from both weapon and armor shops
(yes there are 2 of each, one on either side). Against the boss in here
just have PJ use shock since he is mechanical, shock does only 20
less damage then L-Bolt here, and costs less so you wont run out of MP. It
shouldn't be a hard area.
J. Dragon's Lair
Sandor: 27
Pottle: 27
Rachel: 26
Outside the Dragon's Lair is an area with some really good experience and
decent money. Take this time to get up a bit. Some of the battles
can give you over 1000 EXP so take advantage.
K. East Dragon Shrine
Sandor: 28
Pottle: 28
Rachel: 27
Not much to do here. Just go to the next area.
L. Ice Tower
Sandor: 29
Pottle: 29
Rachel: 28
You can fight in here to get some levels go for it. They have some decent
EXP in here and some of the fights can give you over 1000 EXP.
The Flame Edge is a MUST here and make sure you find the Plymetal armor in
here. Its the second strongest armor in the game (second only
to the Var Armor).
M. Water Shrine
Sandor: 30
Pottle: 30
Rachel: 29
Well this ought to be the easiest area and and boss fight ever. Just after
you kill the boss take all of Pottle's equipment from him, trust me.
Don't worry though because there are no fights on the way out. At this
point if you have been keeping pace with me on levels you should have
lots of money. I know I had at least 120,000 at this time. Make sure you
buy a set of Plymetal Armor when you get to Hogshead and save it!!!
Never sell it, it will come in handy. The reason to buy it now is because
you have PLENTY of money now and later you will be really strapped
for cash . All of the prices for weapons goes up in the game but the money
recieved from battle never goes up.
N. Maytake's Cave
Sandor: 35
Rachel: 34
Lynx 27
These levels are on the SECOND trip to Maytake's Cave when you have Lynx
with you. Right when you get Lynx he is terrible. He is weaker
than or just as strong as PJ with the bow and be has a defense of about the
same. Lovely!!! A new character and he stinks. Well, level
him up outside of town and head to Maytake's.
O. Penan Castle
Sandor: 35
Rachel: 35
Lynx 28
Just go through and don't get killed in the sewers. The dragon at the end
should be easy, just use L-Bolt.
P. Treefall Village
Sandor: 41
Rachel: 41
Lynx 36
OK, here is the deal. DON'T GO TO TREEFALL!!! This may sound stupid but
the boss has 2 ultra-gargoyles and if you arent ready for them
they will wipe you out. The both use Inferno and have 5700 HP (the most HP
for any boss yet and there is 2 of them). So the trick is to
first go PAST Treefall and up to the big tree. It will enter you into
another area, go around that tree, and out to the world map agian.
Then head north-west to the town of Marl. Spend the night and heal but DONT
BUY ANYTHING. Next go north some more and cross the bridge.
There are going to be some tough fights here but either run or just use
Malybu or Inferno to take care of them. Then go East to the town
of Penzance. Here is where you buy the weapons. Get a Laser Spear for Lynx
and a Wisdom Staff for PJ. With these Lynx finally has a
useful attack and PJ's magic now is AWESOME!!! Then fight near Marl or go
into Treefall to fight the soldiers for big EXP. Once you have
leveled a bit go show those idiots who's boss.
****Boss tip: Since these gus CAN give you trouble if not handled right
I'll help you out. First take out Commander Rosale because she
will heal the UG's. I used a megaspark from PJ and then attacked her and
she fell in the first round. Then the trick is to pick on the
UG's one at a time. Have PJ use Flame (yes flame, with the wisdom staff
equipped it does a lot of damage and is the most economical).
and eveyone else attack the one PJ is. Each UG should fall in 3 to 4 rounds
Q. Fire Lake
Sandor: 46
Rachel: 46
Lynx 42
OK, before entering Fire Lake you are gonna need a few things. First, get
Ice Sickles for both Lynx and Sandor. Also get Sandor a Wind
Sword because you'll need the attack boost in the Root Route. Buy Rachel
all new stuff and get goin. The only prob I ran into here is
that I spent too much money before I got here and didn't have the money for
all this stuff. So just fight some more until you have it all.
The Ice Sickles are the most important because the boss and enemies in Fire
Lake are fire elements. The Ice Sickles will do moer damage then
your strongest weapons. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY DONT SELL THE GOOD STUFF YOU
JUST BOUGHT IN PENZANCE!!! You'll need that stuff for everything
after Fire Lake. For the money just fight outside of Treefall and hope you
get into fights with the Danek Soldiers (they have the best money).
******2 Important Things:
1.) Make sure you find the Lifestone in Fire Lake becasue there is only one
of them in the game. Its in the Top right corner.
2.) After the fight with Igneus take all of Rachel's equipment off and then
use an exit stone so that she doesnt get beat up. And plus it was
a pain in the butt to get down there so I doubt you want to fight your way
out again all beat up. Its not worth it!! Especially if you have my
R. Toth Shrine
Sandor: 47
Lynx 43
Not much trouble here and not boss fight so stroll through and use your
magic. Decent experience so take you time if you want. Have PJ use
flame on the enemies and things should be easy. And to spoil the surprise
you will get the vay armor down here so make sure you equip the Vay
Sword right afrer you get it. Its the strongest in the game by HUNDREDS and
its not even powered up!!!
S. Marwick Castle
Sandor: 49
Lynx 45
I say you do this place in 2 stages. The first stage is the initial assault
to get the items in the hidden room to the north on the second
floor. After that leave and heal up since it may take a bit to get these
items, get in a whole lot of fights, and it would be easier to just
use magic then replenish it. After that its phase 2 and you just go in and
kill em, The boss is EASY!!! Just one megabolt and attack and its
over in 1 round maybe 2 if they are luck. : )
T. Redcliff
Sandor: 50
Lynx 47
Another area with no boss so just feel free to use magic. There is some
decent experience to be had in this area and it should be pretty easy
considering you have the Lase Spear and the enemies are mostly mecha ones.
U. Charnel
Sandor: 53
Lynx 50
Kinsey 38
OK, before you go here do what I did and get Kinsey up in Levels. What was
Working Designs thinking when they gave you Kinsey at level 33?
Who is actually at 33 at this point!!! Just remember that around the area
of Hectare there are Fleebags and IF you manage to kill one of these
buggers you get 30,000 EXP in one shot!!! But dont worry about the ship
Charnel, the enemies are easy and the boss is mecha so L-Bolt and
attack with Lynx and its over quick.
****Note: Remember this area as one full of fleebags and come back here
whenever you need levels (like right before Draktyr or before the 2nd
visit to Danek). When you are a little stronger you should have no problem
killing them (it is really easy after getting the Vay Armor). Just
have Sandor attack, PJ use Thyxaal on Lynx, Lynx attack (he should do well
over 6000 damage) and have Kinsey attack. If your strong enough they
will die. And if you wonder why not cast Thyxaal on Sandor and make it
easy, don't try it. Sandor attacks BEFORE PJ (at least in mine he did)
and most likely after one round a fleebag will run and your chance was
V. Danek (first visit)
Sandor: 54
Lynx 51
Kinsey 39
Alright I split this into 2 different segments because it makes this area
much easier. The first trip should be used for levels, money, getting
Odin's Blades, and all of the items. But I suggest that you DON't PUSH IT.
These enemies are HARD and will kill you if you are low on HP and
MP. Just break it up into as many raiding trips as you need and always use
Kinsey's Alakazam to leave (it lets you explore farther without
worrying about saving energy for the trip out), Just make sure you have the
money to get the Goddess Cane for PJ and have enough of PJ's MP
for the trip back to town from Danek (the trip back can be dangerous if you
fall up agianst the wrong set of enemies).
W. Danek (second visit)
Sandor: 66
Lynx 64
Kinsey 57
OK, this is a business trip. Go in, get the Vay armor and get our or go to
the Red Dragon and save before going to Draktyr. Just make sure
you have plenty of Sirufa's Kisses from Fred and other healing items. Ardor
will be a difficult battle.
X. Draktyr
Sandor: 66
Lynx 64
Kinsey 57
Draktyr has some enemies that will kill you if your not careful. There is a
really good place for levels here. As you journey through you
will encounter an area where there are 2 circles for HP and MP resoration.
Fight here to your hearts content and get strong. Now in Dractyr
there are 2 annoyances. 1 is the room with 27 doors and only 1 door moving
you along. The other is a series of annoying teleporters.
Because I'm nice and I dont want you to die, I am gonna help you out now:
1.) Doors: The right door is the one 3 doors down to the right of the one
you come in and in the top row. Top Row, 3 over.
2.) Teleporters. A no nonsense, no BS way through but you may miss chests
but too bad if you dont have a map like me. Here you go: Up, Down,
Left, Left, Right, Right into the far Right pod, Down and Left pod, Right,
and Down.
Whenever in trouble around here just use Blitz, Malybu, or even Megablast
(in an emergency) and you should be fine. Remember, right before
Ardor there is a place that heals all of your characters (awww, isn't
Working Designs nice?). Good Luck, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Y. End: Sadoul/Ardor
Sandor: 54
Lynx 51
Kinsey 39
This is the end and you are right in front of Ardor/Sadoul. These are my
levels and because I'm nice I'll give you a sure-fire strategy to
beat him.
Sandor: FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT. Only make him heal if he will use a Goddess
Love or Sirufa's Kiss that heals all the members completely. Keep
the healing at a minimum since with the armor he is like a god. In my game
he was doing close to 300 dmage per attack.
PJ: None of PJ's attack magic stands out as being great in this fight. If
you must make her use her attack magic then have her use flame to
conserve MP. But the real strategy is to have her NEVER HEAL unless its to
use a stardust on herself to fill her magic. What she should do is
cast Thyxaal on Sandor every round. This allows Sandor to do (at least for
me) almost 1600 damage per attack. This was easy for me since she
had something like 460 MP and I only had to restore MP after 4 rounds (so I
never ran out of stardusts).
Lynx: Attack with Beam Lance and use Panacea to heal or possibly an item if
Kinsey: Attack until someone is hurt and then heal with items. She should
be the primary healer since she does the least damage in this fight.
For me this fight only lasted about 2 or 3 minutes. I used 3 Sirufa's
Kisses, 3 Stardusts, Panacea once, and 1 Phoenix Heart. Keep the
Phoenix Hearts for Sandor since normal healing items only have about 1/3 the
effect. Watch PJ and use Strange Brews and Herbal Extracts on her
when she is hit with Ardor's attack. This thing deals over 600 damage to
her and if your not at my level then I would say it could do close to
Ardor/Sadoul Rundown:
1.) Has a crippling physical attack that beats up everyone except Sandor.
200-300 Damage to Sandor, 300-500 to Kinsey, 400-600 to Lynx, and
600-800 to PJ. This is dependant on character level and the minimum is
approx. what he did to my characters.
2.) Uses Megablast to set up his physical attack. This does approx 100-140
damage to all and can really mess you up if your not careful.
He'll use this to lower the people down and then pick you off with his
physical attack if your not ready for it. The only good thing is that
he uses this attack probably 70-80 percent of the time (thats why your need
Sirufa's Kisses).
3.) He has just over 26,000 HP. This is the only thing that drags the
battle out, but what do you expect for a man who is over 1,000 years old.
****As a special note, dont fear dying once if you run out of all magic for
PJ and Lynx and cant replenish it. Just die and the Lifestone will
bring your entire party back with full HP and MP. So take a dive if you
have to, just have everyone attack and dont heal until you die.
****Note 2: If your really getting beat with your weaker characters then
save the Phoenix Hearts for Sandor and let everyone else just die.
Most likely Sandor is the one taking the least amount of damage and probably
doing the most. So let everyone else die and have him use Phoenix
Hearts on himself to heal when he is low.
V. Tips/Hints
A. In the beginning of the game you see Sandor walk out of a secret room in
the back of the throne room. When you get control of him walk to
that room and run agianst the right side until you go through the wall and
find a Long Sword, Pheonix Heart, and 1500 G.
B. In the Jeffle tavern search the right wall and go through it to find
some more items.
C. Buy Plymetal armor early in Hogshead when you have money and when you
get Kinsey give it to her. Its the strongest armor so make sure she
has it.
D. This I call the PJ evolution:
1.) At first make sure she has a bow with her at all times. Early on the
enemies are weak enough that she can do decent damage and is a good
set up person. Then right before a boss put a staff on her to give her the
Wisdom boost and make her magic unstoppable.
2.) Later in the game forget about the bows. There is a definate point
when PJ no longer should have a bow. That point is when you get her
the Wisdom Staff and you are DONE Fire Lake. In Fire Lake you definately
need the bow because the low damage everyone else is doing makes her
useful. After that just have her use flame and she will do 100-400 damage

level up in some cases.

It's the lunch that every high school football team in Southern California aspires to attend but only 26 actually get an invite.
The CIF-Southern Section hosted its annual championship week luncheon on Monday featuring teams who will play in this weekend's 13 divisional championship games.
The lunch was held at The Grand Event Center in Long Beach and the lone local representative was San Dimas, which hosts Paraclete in the Mid-Valley Division championship on Friday night.
"You realize as a coach that you don't get to be here every year and to be here twice in your career is a big deal," San Dimas coach Bill Zernickow said.
San Dimas was represented by Zernickow, offensive line coach Mark Holman assistant principal Rita Kear and principal Mike Kelly. Saints players in attendance were running back Joseph Mayorga, quarterback Josh Avila and lineman Jared Trujillo.
Monday's keynote speaker was supposed to be interim USC head coach Ed Orgeron. But Orgeron was a late scratch after the school announced it had hired Steve Sarkisian to be its next head coach. Former Bishop Amat standout John Jackson took Orgeron's place.
San Dimas is in the championship game for the second time in five years, but it's only the second appearance in the school's 41-year history. In 2009, the Saints beat Monrovia to win the division championship.
On Friday, the opponent will be a Paraclete team that knocked off three-time defending division champion Monrovia in last week's semifinals. Both teams have identical 9-4 records after having early season struggles during nonleague play.
San Dimas was won nine consecutive games since an 0-4 start. Last week, the Saints pulled away late from Arroyo to earn a berth in the championship game.
For Zernickow, who was the Tribune's Coach of the Year in 2009, just getting to the semifinals was no longer good enough despite the fact that San Dimas' string of five consecutive semifinals appearances is quite an accomplishment.
The veteran coach wanted his program to take the next step with a new cycle of players and it has now done that thanks to an incredible hot streak.
"We have a nice high expectation and our kids are able to reach it," Zernickow said. "If you look around this room and look at our guys compared to everybody else's guys, it says a lot. We're pretty fired up.
"We're usually undersized, but our guys always tend to find a way. They play with a lot of passion. It's kinda cool and fun. We laugh about it."

White Earth featured in new documentary
A new documentary film that chronicles the lives of four American Indian women — much of which was filmed within the boundaries of the White Earth Indian Reservation — could begin making the rounds on the international film festival circuit in the very near future.
"Native Silence," produced by the non-profit organization 3 Generations, is nearing completion.
"The film is in post-production right now," says Elizabeth Woller, head of production and marketing for 3 Generations.
What she and the film's director, Jane Wells, are hoping is that the film will eventually find a home within the educational community —though they plan to market it on the film festival circuit as well.
Though the film is focused primarily on the lives of two native women, Joyce and Paulette, and their daughters Amy and Dawn, their stories touch on many of the larger issues that so many native communities face — drugs, alcohol, familial estrangement, sexual violence, and the "defective foster care and boarding school systems which functioned to isolate and erase Native American identity" for so many years.
Both Joyce and Paulette are products of those defective systems, Wells noted.
"One was put into foster care at a very young age (18 months), and the other was put into the boarding school system and then into foster care," Wells said. "They were taken away from their mothers and their families and their culture."
"A lot of these adoptees (who were interviewed for the film) talk about how the loss of their culture and inability to find other peers to identify with really, really affected them (from childhood) into their adult lives," Woller said. "That's where you see a lot of the teenage suicide and drug use coming from."
And then, Woller said, there are the families, who are just as affected by the loss of their younger generation as the children are.
"Families that have kids taken away, in this film we talk about what a loss that is for the community and how a lot of the times the problems with alcohol are the reason these kids are taken away, but after they're taken away there's no hope left for the adults," she added.
Ultimately, however, the message of "Native Silence" is about finding hope again, both women said.
"The daughters of Joyce and Paulette are working to reclaim their identity and teach that to their children," said Woller. "One of the things that is very exciting and impressive about Joyce herself is that she's using her talent as an artist to really reconnect with her culture … and her work as a nurse in the mental health field is another way of giving back to her community, as well as through her art and her advocacy," said Wells. "We think she's a pretty amazing, fantastic and impressive woman."
All of the women documented in this film are pretty impressive role models, Woller said.
"These women are redefining themselves and their children, making an identity for themselves and their community and their kids," she added.
Woller and Wells are in the midst of raising funds and awareness for the final phase of their project: to put the finishing touches on the film, find a distributor and bring "Native Silence" to the attention of schools and universities across the U.S.
Different incentives are available for donors at each level, from "virtual hugs" and personalized thank-yous for a $10 donation, to a traveling-expenses-paid trip to a Minnesota powwow for an $8,000 gift.
Some of the donor gifts include products from White Earth's own Native Harvest, lending a local flavor to the campaign that can have a global impact.
"We've had donations from as far away as the United Kingdom and Sweden," Wells said — which means those local products are finding a home overseas.
And speaking of local flavor, both Wells and Woller noted that they had enjoyed their visits to the region during the filming process.
"We love Detroit Lakes," Wells said. "We came in midwinter and I thought it was incredibly beautiful. I drove on the frozen lake, which was very exciting for me — that was a first. Coming from England you don't get a lot of opportunities to drive on a lake. We had a good time. Everybody was incredibly friendly, all the stories we heard were quite fascinating, and there's just this incredible beauty to the landscape — such a sharp contrast between some of these tragic stories and the beauty of the physical landscape."

Warriors cautioned
AJAX Cape Town coach Roger de Sa is cautioning his players against getting too excited about their strong start to the new season.
"We've just got to keep going, we can't be thinking too far ahead," he insisted after Ajax beat Bidvest Wits 3-1 on Tuesday to move to 10 points from their opening four games of the season.
"There were a lot of youngsters out there and they all did well," added De Sa, reserving a special mention for his inexperienced defensive pairing of 20-year-old Abubakar Mobara and 17-year-old Rivaldo Coetzee.
De Sa has stuck with the pair through three successive wins, eschewing the temptation to bring back captain Dominic Isaacs.
"There was no need to change, the youngsters have been doing really well."
The Urban Warriors play again tomorrow at Chippa United in Port Elizabeth.
"Even though they have moved to the Eastern Cape, that will still be a derby of sorts," De Sa added of the former Cape side.
"They will be even more determined after they lost 3-0 in their last game [against Maritzburg United]."
Meanwhile, Buhle Mkhwanazi may be in danger of missing out on Bafana Bafana duty after a hamstring injury kept him out of the Wits defeat at Ajax.
Coach Gavin Hunt said he hoped to have the central defender back for tomorrow night's home game against Moroka Swallows but was not yet sure.
"He has a hamstring strain and I wasn't prepared to risk him. It is one of those injuries that if you play with it, it will get worse and then you don't have the player for two or three games.
"If he is not ready then he cannot go to the national team."

NEW YORK, Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Citigroup, the giant New York bank, announced a major reorganization that includes combining two key units under one leader.
The bank's embattled chairman and chief executive, Charles O. Prince III, announced Thursday night that Citigroup would combine its investment banking and alternative investment units and make some major management shifts, The New York Times reported.
Vikram Pandit, who runs Citigroup's alternative investment division, will lead the new group, to be called the institutional client group and oversee two other executives.
One of them, James Forese, who had been head of global equities, was promoted to co-chief executive of the investment bank and will be responsible for its capital markets activities, the Times said. The second executive, Michael S. Klein, will remain as a co-chief executive of the investment bank.
A third executive, Thomas G. Maheras, who had shared power with Klein, is leaving after a review of the fixed-income trading operations led to the departure of a top lieutenant, Randolph Barker, the newspaper article said. Barker's partner, Geoffrey Coley, was reassigned, given unspecified responsibilities.
Much of a $5.9 billion third-quarter write-down that Citigroup announced last week came in fixed-income trading.
Prince declined to comment on the review in a telephone interview with the Times but was upbeat in answering questions about his ability to guide Citigroup.

Linux Foundation Recommends Say "No" to OpenXML
The Linux Foundation has taken a clear position on the acceptance of Microsoft's OpenXML format as an international ISO standard. The Foundation recommends that standardization committees in the countries involved in the process say "No" to the application.
Amanda McPherson, Head of Marketing with Linux Foundation quotes several reasons for dismissing the move. In the Linux organization's opinion, it would server users better if all suppliers, including Microsoft, were to implement the approved ISO Open Document Format standard (ODF). This would remove the need for time-consuming conversions between various formats.
At the same time, the statement by Linux Foundation criticizes Microsoft's Office OpenXML specification as too bulky and immature. Additionally, the document format is Windows and Microsoft-centered with frequent references to the vendor's proprietary standards.
More arguments against Microsoft's format are quoted by the members of the Foundation's desktop working group, which includes Knoppix creator Klaus Knopper and Jeremy Allison, who currently works for Google.
Linux Foundation thus advises all ISO member committees who have not yet cast their votes to say no and add their comments. The voting period ends September 2.

Sipdown! Yay!
I went through and reorganized my Real Life cupboard as well as my Steepster cupboard. This sipdown means 183 teas! YAY! I am giving away a bunch of teas I know a friend will like, and there is another bunch that will be up for grabs on the Steepster boards if no one from Facebook takes them.
Such a relief.
I hit the sweet spot on this tea today. A touch of creamer and brown sugar, and it tastes amazing. Caramel, pumpkin spice, a bit of a cream cheese note… Yummers.

I asked about all the different "Googles" showing up under referrers in a support question, and I understand what is going on now. It is logged-in hits from Google+ or some other Google service where Google isn't passing any information.
But it is still annoying, because my referrers list gets filled up with Google India and Google Philippines and Google Mexico and Google Canada, etc, etc, etc. I recognize that these may not be search engine hits, so I understand why you aren't listing them under search engines. Makes sense.
So, my idea was that you could group the "Googles" just like you do "Search Engines." Search engines are just one line on the referrers list, but expandable if I want to see which search engines. You could do the same with Googles -- a single line ("Google") but expandable, and then it would show all the different national Googles. It would make the referrers list a lot cleaner.
The blog I need help with is mindrenewers.com.

Give Your iPhone a Hand...a Handset
After killing your landline, you may experience a little bit of nostalgia for the good old fashion telephone handset. But ditching the landline doesn't mean you have to go without the comfort (and oftentimes the clarity) of a handset, with several plug-in and cordless add-ons to mimic your dearly missed wired line technology.
Kee Desk Phone Dock
The Kee Desk Phone Dock is beautifully designed, with brushed aluminum and glossy plastic surface detailing, it will charge your iphone while looking pretty at the same time. It has the ability to play audio via its two stereo speakers. Comes with a microphone, volume control and instant mute selection, and now available for $150.
Moshi Moshi iphone Docking Station
The Native Union Moshi Moshi (Japanese for "hello") is a Bluetooth iPhone docking station with both modernist and retro character. Now you can pickup phone calls while your mobile charges up (they offer another model which allows for charging/docking vertically while also accepting calls). It has something called "MultiPoint" support, which enables your connection to your iPhone and Skype on your computer simultaneously. You can use the built-in audio out to connect external speakers. Batteries will provide you up to 6 hours of talk time and 120 hours of stand by.
Compatible with all iPhone models, the iRetrofone turns your smartphone into a traditional corded phone like the one in your grandma's kitchen. In addition to being a functioning phone in its own right, the iRetrofone also syncs and charges your iPhone. Available in a variety of different styles and colors, such as pink, red, green, purple, and clear. We don't know if we want to go that retro, but it's good to have some options!
iFusion SmartStation
For those looking to integrate their iPhone with an office phone, this maybe the best option. The dock comes in white or black and instantly converts your iPhone into a standard desk phone. With a built-in USB cable the iPhone can be charged and synced while docked. Bluetooth connects the iPhone, and with A2DP streaming, music can be played using the SmartStation speaker.

Real Entertaining
Dinner for Two, From the Heart
Wednesday, February 11, 2009; Page F01
Editor's note: Real Entertaining is a new monthly column by chef and former restaurateur David Hagedorn that teaches dinner-party strategies. It replaces his Chef on Call column.
Pundits, if you want to know the exact state of our economy, ask people whose social lives once transpired over $100-per-person restaurant meals.
They're in a severe depression over the prospect of having to entertain at home. The reason? Fear of the unknown.
Many of today's aspiring hosts grew up in families where both parents worked; the domestic know-how that used to be passed down has skipped a generation or two, and they don't know where to start.
Cookbooks and cooking shows don't always offer relief. They perpetuate the myths that entertaining is easy, that anything less than perfect is a failure, that it takes only 30 minutes to prepare delightful meals for company. When reality doesn't live up to the image, insecurity sets in, and fear replaces confidence.
I hate to break it to you, but entertaining is more j-o-b than 1-2-3, and it is not so easy to do it well. But there's good news. It's not so difficult, either, and the reward that comes from having a reputation for social brilliance is incalculable.
It's better to be known as an inspired cook than a perfect one. Polished competence is fine as a goal; if your dishes come out the same way every time, there is probably a missing ingredient: heart.
Valentine's Day presents the perfect opportunity to begin building a solid dinner-party repertoire. There's more to entertaining than just cooking, and a dinner for two is a good way to make that discovery. Starting small and working your way up is a much better strategy than the other way around.
Here's one way to think about it: If you've ever been a successful business manager, you have what it takes to entertain well.
After all, throwing a party is like entering into business. An entrepreneur (host) buys or produces goods (food and drink) the public (guests) wishes to consume, offering them at a reasonable price (free) in return for currency (amusing company) in the hope of generating a profit (goodwill).
The metaphor extends easily.
On Valentine's Day, the host's significant other is the target market. The menu should reflect the current tastes and trends of that market. Shopping is nothing more than stocking inventory to meet demand. The workspace should be outfitted to promote efficiency, with the right tools for the right job. The host should manage time wisely by setting deadlines, multi-tasking, outsourcing and dividing labor. He should be familiar with the product he is offering, which optimally has been tested before being made available to the public.

With his old friend Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in hiding and his Egyptian holiday host, Hosni Mubarak, on trial, Tony Blair could be forgiven for taking no chances with his own fate.
At a Michelin-starred restaurant where the former prime minister dined last week, dark-suited men who appeared to be protection officers were seen entering the kitchen to taste the food before it was served. The chef at Le Bernardin in Manhattan, Eric Ripert, says: "We have more secret service and food tasters than clients … courtesy of UN meeting in New York. No pictures, of course."
The only other prominent figure at Le Bernardin at the time was Nursultan Nazarbayev, the controversial president of Kazakhstan.

Courty007 complained about hair becoming dry and crispy, but that's because this conditioning foam actually provides a light hold as well. The smell is gorgeous, but it's ture it won't last long. Consistency is a bit too runny for my taste. I use this foam after my usual rinse-off conditioner and it works OK, alone it would be too light even for my healthy, slightly processed hair. For anyone with dry and coarse hair it'll only be a waste of money.

This stuff was absolutely horrible. The container was nice, but thats as far as compliments go. My hair dried hard and crispy, the smell didn't last, and I felt as if my hair was coated with something. I returned it and will not buy anything from this line again.

This is a leave in conditoner for color treated hair. It comes out of a pump like a mousse. It has amino acids, sunscreen anti-oxidents and melanin to protect color treated hair. A little goes a long way as well, I have waist length hair, and this bottle lasts me quite a while considering.

I was overly excited to try this. It smells GREAT (like berries), comes out a mousse, sinks into your hair, the ingredients are superb BUT my hair dried to a hard crisp from the high protein content. I returned it at Tradesecret the next day.

I have oily roots & normal ends. I thought this would be a good leave-in. Totally wrong, I'll be taking it back.

The floors are clean(ish) and there is no dust
One of the things I was trying to say yesterday and didn't get around to is this: The clean bathroom/floor/window/sink/whatever needs to be the reward. I need to get my brain to move from "UGH I DON'T WANT TO!" to "Wow, I feel so good about my lovely home!" But not in a Flylady way.
In the wee small hours of the morning, I thought I might clean the bathrooms before I started writing this post. Writing also is on my reward list. Well, that didn't work out. I did spray the tub with cleaner before I began writing. A compromise. Because I'm a diplomat like that. Maybe I should run for Congress.
Moving on … I finished the second bow headband last night, the green one. I was going to do purple next, but then I thought black might be more versatile for the intended recipient's wardrobe. When I was stocking up on the cotton/elastic yarn, I bought several balls of many colors, including black. I can get two headbands from one ball of yarn and a football game's worth of time, making them quite an economical gift.
Oh, another thing that's on my mind is that I changed the blog layout to incorporate threaded comments, and then I invariably forget to reply to your comments. My bad. I remembered late yesterday and made an effort, and I'll try to do better in the future. So ... comments ... you first! Heh.

Debbi, I abhor cleaning, but do really like a clean environment - so there lies the rub!
I do not have any "routine" to my cleaning - such as Monday is vacuuming day, etc. I tend to clean all aspects of areas of the house whenever there is time and inclination. The up side is that the whole area is really nice and clean. The down side, is that it may be the ONLY area that is all nice and clean!
Obviously, cleaning is not high on my list of priorities...there are so many other more interesting alternatives! It would help if the results didn't start to deteriorate the second it is done...kind of like the depreciation in value of a new car as you drive it off the lot.

Haha! I think we can all identify with procrastination when it comes to housework. Coincidentally, I FINALLY managed to sweep the floor today as well, and even scrubbed the sink in the master bedroom ensuite.
One of the mantras I keep to overcome procrastination is the fact that the mind overcomes inertia in 10 minutes. Which means all I have to do is try and stick at something for 10 minutes and before I know it, I'm on my way to finishing. The problem, of course, is finding the time and inclination to even start. Pooh.

It's amazing what can get done in short bursts, but there is nothing like a good long cleaning session to make a real difference. I listen to podcasts or audiobooks when I clean, and then it isn't so bad. My only problem is that the pain in my foot gets bad if I'm on it on our hardwood floors for too long.

Cleaning is not high on my list of priorities, either. Agree about the results deteriorating almost immediately. I already need to run the dust mop today, after a good, thorough vaccumming yesterday. Grrr.

After all I did yesterday I couldn't even begin to think about cleaning bathrooms. Today, though, one is done and I'm getting ready to begin the other one. Taking a lollipop-and-computer break first! Reward!

As my day got longer yesterday, my right hip began to hurt more and more. I ended up taking many breaks and got less done that I'd intended. However, I'm nearly caught up now and I'm going outside to walk soon. It's so pretty here, hope you're having good weather where you are.

text: Hey guys, i know techtalk is reserved for computers, but wondering if y'all could help me out. I just moved, and got rid of cable. I had Dish, and they kept increasing my monthly service. I didnt watch PPV or anything like that, just their basic package. Ended up being something like $55 a month, so it's gone now. However, now that I moved i realized i miss it. However, I'm not home enough to justify getting another cable service. Did some research online, and figured out I could get a TV antenna and just hook that up to my Westinghouse LED flatscreen (it does accept it). However, is there anything else I'm going to need? My fiance likes watching CBS.. I pretty much will watch a little of whatever's on. So school me on cable alternatives please JAS

I am trying to do a simple program like this. There is an input, which is a wide-char message and i should copy only some substrings of this message to the output. In the example below, the output should be input[4]+input[3..5]. So lets say for wcMessageIn='ABCDEFG' I should get wcMessageOut='DCDE'.
Can you please help me with the memcpy? In the real world, the messages will be long and I would be copying substrings of hundreds or thousands characters, so I would like to avoid doing it in a loop, char by char.Code:#define MSG_LENGTH 4096 static wchar_t *wcMessageIn; static wchar_t *wcMessageOut; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { wcMessageIn = (wchar_t *)malloc(MSG_LENGTH * sizeof(wchar_t)); wcMessageOut = (wchar_t *)malloc(MSG_LENGTH * sizeof(wchar_t)); /* receive message and convert it to wcMessageIn using mbstowcs */ /* lMsgWCharLen = mbstowcs(wcMessageIn, cMessage, MSG_LENGTH); */ /* copy 4th character on input to 1st character on output - THIS WORKS*/ wcMessageOut[0] = wcMessageIn[3]; /* append 3th to 5th character on input to output - THIS DOES NOT WORK */ memcpy(wcMessageOut + 1*sizeof(wchar_t), wcMessageIn + 2*sizeof(wchar_t), 3*sizeof(wchar_t)); /* do some cleanup here */ }

When I was a kid, I gathered news from all of my friends, sat down at my mother's electronic typewriter, and wrote a newspaper for the neighborhood. Once it was written, I would go to the public library and make copies so I could share my creation. The only news in the paper was kids' news, such as Billy hit a home run during the neighborhood baseball game on Wednesday. There was no hard-hitting news, but running that little paper operation led to my writing career today. My kids have run their own newspaper, too, and it's a lot of fun.
If you want to bolster your child's writing skills, encouraging him to write his own newspaper is a great idea. Here's how to get them started:
- Give your child a notepad and pen, then send her to "interview" her friends or siblings about events that are important to them. This could be the school spelling bee, a stray dog sighting, Girl Scout meeting, or anything that they enjoy talking about.
- Once your child has gathered the facts, set her down at the family computer. If she doesn't already know how, show her how to operate the word processor program such as Microsoft Word, WordPerfect, Notepad, or Works.
- Give her access to a printer so that she can make copies of her creation for friends and family.
- Encourage her to recruit others as her newspaper staff.
- If she really loves playing newspaper, give her an inexpensive digital camera to take pictures for her paper.
Even if your child doesn't grow up to be a professional writer, playing newspaper can hone his writing skills, which is something he will use for the rest of his life. Give the newspaper game a shot, and I bet your child will be hooked and you will have a great memory to put in your scrapbook.
If your child wrote a newspaper, what would be his kids'news?

Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite rides a tank during NATO exercises
Plans to increase defense spending in Lithuania by 38 million euros have been proposed.
Lithuanian defense minister Juozas Olekas said additional funds would be invested in purchasing anti-aircraft missile systems, medium range anti-tank defense system and ammunition, to develop the infrastructure of training grounds, to improve training conditions, to activate investment projects.
Olekas added that the increase in spending would not undermine Lithuania's plans to introduce the euro in 2015
"We have analyzed thoroughly the drafts in the Government, and I was assured by the minister of finance and the prime minister that it would not pose any problems to the euro adoption or our deficit," said Olekas.
The draft amendments also include: LTL 45 million (13 million euros) will be allocated from the Privatization Fund, while LTL 85 million ( 25 million euros) - from the budget, of which LTL 65 million (19 million euros) - from income collected from excise duties and LTL 20 million (6 million euros) - from increased budget deficit.
Budgetary amendments will be considered by the Seimas Committee on Budget and Finance and the Seimas Committee on National Security and Defense.

" Brand: Andrea Fulerton / Type: Nail Varnish / Subcategory: Nail Coat / Suitable for: Nails "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I received this Andrea Fulerton gemstone overcoat as a gift from my sister, who told me it was fantastic and I needed to try it out.
The idea is to paint this onto your dry painted nails to jazz them up and add a bit of sparkle to them.
~ Appearance ~
It comes in a tall glass bottle with a black plastic lid which is easy to grip. Through the bottle you can see the gem like particles in the clear polish. They are very reflective and pretty.
The front of the bottle has the name of the product, Andrea Fulerton Nail Boutique Gemstone Overcoat and it also tells us that the bottle contains 5.5ml of product.
The back of the bottle has 5 bullet points:
- Enhance your colour with this beautiful jewel effect
- Dazzling gem like particles
- Apply a thin layer
- Always run the brush along the nail edge to seal the colour
- Can be worn alone on bare nails
The back of the bottle also gives you the web address, www.andreafulerton.com.
The bottle comes in a black, pink and red card box.
~ Use ~
I was keen to try this out as soon as I received it based on the strong recommendation.
For some reason I nearly always use this overcoat over the top of a dark cherry red coloured nail polish I have as I think the overcoat suits darker colours more and I have found it looks lovely over cherry red nails.
Removing the brush from the bottle you can see that it is covered in iridescent gem like particles.
The nail polish is easy to apply. I just brush it over each nail in a few strokes and the gem like particles distribute themselves evenly over my nails. The sparkly particles are not difficult to transfer to your nails from the brush at all, which I have found with nail polishes I have used in the past that had little sequins or large glittery particles in.
It is honestly just like applying a normal nail polish. You can't even feel the particles in it. It feels smooth on your nails.
On your nails the gem like particles are a gold colour and they look sparkly and appear to be dotted randomly over each nail. They look gold, but they reflect the light and appear all different colours.
It looks really nice on your nails and really adds sparkle without looking childish or over the top. It looks smart and elegant rather than glittery and young.
The nail overcoat lasts on your nails for as long as your nail polish. I'd say it helps to prevent your nail polish from chipping and lasts around 4-5 days. Usually I will only get 2-3 days out of my nail polishes so I am very pleased with this.
It is really easy to remove with nail polish remover as well, which you don't always find with nail polishes with sparkle or shimmer in them.
The bottle does say you can use this overcoat on bare nails, but I have not tried this. I don't think the look will be as effective. I imagine it would just be like wearing clear nail polish with the addition of the gemstone effect.
~ Price and availability ~
You can buy this product at Superdrug, John Lewis or Harvey Nichols or you can buy it online at www.amazon.co.uk or www.yourbeauty247.com. It costs £4.99 for the 5.5ml bottle.
5.5ml may not sound like a lot, but I have had this overcoat polish for over a year and I still have three quarters of the bottle left and have used it quite a few times.
~ Conclusion ~
Overall, I think this is a great nail product and it encourages me to paint my nails more often as I love wearing it.
People regularly ask me what nail polish I have on when I am wearing this overcoat and seem impressed with the effect.
I really love it. It is easy to apply, looks really effective over my nail polish and makes my nail polish last longer.
I can't recommend this product enough. It would make a fantastic stocking filler for anyone who likes painting their nails!
The Andrea Fulerton gemstone overcoat was actually a bit of an impulse purchase for me and to be honest I'm so glad I decided to buy it, as I'd now class it as one of my favourite nail products ever!
I have to admit when I bought this I didn't fully understand what it was. I thought it was simply a glitter top coat. I'd heard it mentioned when skimming through beauty blogs, but never seen any pictures of it in use, so didn't fully appreciate what the product does. In fact, although similar to a glitter top coat, rather than having particles of glitter, this has large flakes of something resembling gold leaf in it. These flakes actually seem almost holographic, so change colour in the light to give an absolutely stunning effect to the nails.
The Gemstone overcoat comes in a box like many of the Andrea Fulerton products. There are instructions printed on the back, although in fairness they are not really needed, as using this is pretty simple.
All you need to do is paint your nails with whichever colour you choose and then simply brush a coat of this over the top. The brush is quite long, but also quite wide so that you can apply the overcoat quickly. It is thick, yet quite drippy at the same time, so you may need to wipe excess from the brush onto the side of the bottle before use. The overcoat has a distinctive nail polish smell to it and it is strong but I didn't find it too overwhelming - plus once it's dried you don't really notice any scent.
The overcoat dries reasonably quickly - I'd say within 1-2 minutes at the most - and the result is stunning. The particles of sparkle (which I'll call them since I'm not 100% sure what they are!) look absolutely gorgeous and give a look that I've never seen from any other product. As they hit the light they seem to change colour, but are predominantly red and gold tones with perhaps the slightest hint of green thrown in. The product is especially good for transforming nails from a daytime to a night-time look, as it's super quick and takes plain nails to sparkly disco nails in one coat! The flakes don't look too big and I think the overall look is more sophisticated than using a standard glitter polish.
As the base of the polish is clear, adding the overcoat will not interfere with the coloured polish which you have used to paint your nails. I don't think I would recommend using the overcoat on unpainted nails as I imagine it wouldn't give as good an effect. I've tried this overcoat with many different coloured polishes as a base and have found it to work well with most colours. The only one I didn't really like it with was silver as I found it didn't show up too well. I think on the whole it does look better with darker, bold shades than pale or pastel ones. My personal favourite way of wearing this is over a dark red polish as the red compliments the colours in the overcoat well. It also looks really good over a navy blue or a dark purple, but of course the possibilities are endless.
The overcoat lasts pretty much as long as your base colour. Given that the base of the overcoat is clear I don't think it will chip as such, it is only when the colour that you have used underneath starts to chip that you will need to remove it. When it does come to removal any standard nail polish remover will do, although I do find you have to apply quite a lot of pressure to get rid of it all, as the sparkly bits seem to stick to the nail quite a bit.
The gemstone overcoat is available from Superdrug on the high street or Amazon online. It costs £4.99, which in my opinion is an excellent price and I've already bought two more to give to my sisters for Christmas (shhhh don't tell them!). The bottle holds 5.5ml.
When I'm wearing this product the question I am most frequently asked is 'where did you get your nails done?' which I think shows that it gives a professional finish. Everyone is surprised when I say I did it myself and I have been recommending this product to people left, right and centre since I first bought it. If you love nail polish but are looking for something a bit different, then I would strongly recommend this product, it's fab!

Hi Folks -
I'm not from the area (from St. Paul, MN actually) and taking a group of community college students out to D.C. for an advocacy trip in mid-March, 2011. We're looking to do sort of a special "welcome dinner" on the first night for a group of about 30-40 students. I'm hoping you all have some good suggestions for where.
We're staying at a hotel right near the Capitol (C St. SW & 6th St. SW) and hoping to do it pretty close to the hotel as we don't want folks getting lost on the first night.

The spread dropped to a low of 19 before making its way back to 20. The over/under total hasn't changed since opening at 46.5 points.
Louisville is coming off a 38-35 loss to Central Florida last week. The Cardinals held a 28-7 lead in a second half but saw that disappear.

Each year for 3 y, 56 steer calves were fed to market weight on a corn-silage and shelled-corn ration in a 243-m2 paved lot. Storm runoff was measured and sampled as it left the feedlot, and again after it passed through a shallow, concrete settling basin and two consecutive 30 m long by 4.5 m wide sod filter strips.
Storm runoff amounts and transport of TS (total solids), COD (chemical oxygen demand), BOD5 (5-d biological oxygen demand), N (total nitrogen), and P (total phosphorus) were smaller during the fall and winter months, when the steers were small and being fed silage than during May through July, when the animals were larger and eating shelled corn. The settling basin reduced transport of TS and COD by about 55%, while retaining only 35–40% of the BOD5, N, and P. Total reduction of all parameters was increased to 80–90% in the filter strips. The basin was more effective in large storm events, and the filter strips were more effective when the basin was slowly drained after settling of the settleable solids. Rainfall on the filter strips reduced the concentration of all parameters during large storms, and infiltration during other events reduced transport to downstream areas.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

A negative review
It was sickening to see our president yucking it up at the dinner thrown by the fawning press.
At about the same time in the Ukraine, the fascist and neo-Nazi-infested government that his administration sponsored in the coup was treating those who opposed them to brutal repression, taking dozens of lives, including some 30 burned to death in Odessa.
Pretty funny, Mr. Hope and Change!
Arnie Harris, Lawtey
Georgia's bad decision
As many of us have now heard, after July 1,2014 in the state of Georgia, you may bring your concealed weapon (gun) into the following places:
■ Bars.
■ Government buildings.
■ Churches.
■ Schools.
■ Airports — if you have brought your firearm by mistake.
One of the few exceptions to this new law favored by the Georgia governor and Legislature occurs if you have a history of mental illness.
As a licensed family therapist who has practiced in Georgia and Florida for the past 20 years, let me make one fact clear. Mental illness, including alcohol and drug addiction, can occur at any time during our lives.
What if we have obtained the concealed weapons license before the emotional/mental and/or addiction occur and have been diagnosed?
Who's to check?
In a country that already has approximately 31,000 gun deaths a year, the highest by far of any other developed nation, does this new bill passed by the Georgia legislation make any sense?
Robert B. Howat, Fernandina Beach
Florida leads the way
Duval County led the state in fish fraud in 2013, reprimanding nine restaurants for misrepresenting seafood, down from 36 in 2009.
The number is on the way down because the Florida Bureau of Business and Professional Regulation is required to inspect restaurants twice a year and implement protocols designed to stamp out mislabeling.
There has been a slew of hand wringing recently about a supposed need for new laws to stop fish fraud.
Amidst the loud sea of rhetorical concern, Florida has quietly done what every other state and the FDA should be doing: Enforce laws that already exist.
It's not regulatory rocket science, but Florida's effort makes the Sunshine State look like geniuses compared to those who think they need a new law to tell them something that's already illegal is illegal.

Object to high cost
I have gone through the distress of having to end a pet's life due to its illness.
A recent story makes the veterinarian look like a hero. The charge of $195 is outrageous.
The charges of some vets for ordinary care are ridiculous. That is a big reason why there are so many abandoned pets. People just can't afford the care.
Many times you can take a dying pet to a veterinarian office only to be encouraged to have hundreds if not thousands of dollars of tests. They will make you feel like a heel for not being able to afford all the high costs.
So paying $195 for euthanasia is no bargain. The actual drugs probably did not cost over $25. I am so grateful that I discovered the veterinary clinic with First Coast No More Homeless Pets.
They are truly there to care for our wonderful four-footed friends and not charge a fortune for the care.
Mary Gaskill, St. Augustine
Another view
As one of the citizens who volunteered many hours of personal time to help assure the people of Duval County that the very best candidate will be available to become their medical examiner, I found the Times-Union editorial about the supposed "secret" committee deliberations offensive and clear evidence of a lack of understanding of the purpose of this committee.
When a group of professionals from various backgrounds attempts to vet candidates from a discipline with which they may or may not be familiar, there are often questions that if asked in a public forum could be misinterpreted as derogatory, potentially causing unintentional embarrassment to a candidate.
The purpose of having a multi-disciplinary committee is to ensure that such confusion does not occur, and, most importantly, that no candidate pays an unacceptable price of personal embarrassment from misinterpretation of some component of his or her credentials.
Every aspect of the deliberations of this group of professionals commissioned to vet potential recommendations for consideration for appointment was made publicly known.
I can attest that the attorneys in this group extensively researched the appropriateness of a brief private discussion to assure that no member had any unanswered questions or misconceptions.
They acted in good faith to ensure that the recommendations from this committee did represent the best judgment based on the best analysis of the best candidates.
The editorial's implication that this was some sort of secret deliberation is absurd.

Toronto: Sculpture in Hogtown
by Gil McElroy
In the late 19th century, Toronto's Lake Ontario waterfront hosted the second-largest pork processing plant in North America. It's long gone now, but it left the city with its enduring nickname, "Hogtown." The whole of the waterfront has changed dramatically over the years, as industry closed or moved elsewhere, and a renovated industrial building along the Queen's Quay now houses one of the premier art galleries in Canada: the Power Plant. This past spring, the gallery used a sculpture commissioned from Turner Prize winner Simon Starling to link a vitally important episode in the city's aesthetic history with the lake that is Toronto's reason for being here at all.

ST. PETERSBURG — The gun authorities say a woman was holding when she fatally shot her boyfriend Wednesday evening was treated like a plaything in the house the couple was sharing with another couple, St. Petersburg police said Thursday.
Mandy Marie Evelyn Avis, 20, was charged with manslaughter in the death of her boyfriend, Michael Ward, 23, at 1945 Second Ave. N.
According to St. Petersburg police spokesman Mike Puetz, the couple had been in the house for roughly 18 months, with Ward recently purchasing a firearm. Another man and woman also lived there.
Ward frequently played with the gun while it was unloaded, Puetz said,
"It was treated like a plaything — doing fast draws, things like that," Puetz said.
But Wednesday, Ward had reloaded the gun and put it on a nightstand in the bedroom he shared with Avis, Puetz said. She picked it up, thinking it was unloaded, pointed it at Ward and fired, Puetz said.
Ward suffered a single wound to his chest and was transported to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg, where he died, authorities said.
The man and woman with whom Ward and Avis were living said the two had not been fighting before the shot was fired, Puetz said.

Kevin Federline played golf at the Ryan Sheckler X Games Celebrity Classic outside LA yesterday, although at first I thought it was Winnie the Pooh. And he was smoking. I said, "No Winnie The Pooh, don't smoke, the kids, they look up to you!" But it's okay. It's just KFed. No one looks up to him, so he can do whatever.
Kevin Federline has still got it
