How Does Periodontal Disease Develop?
Gingivitis. Poor brushing and flossing habits allow dental plaque -- a sticky film of germs -- to build up on teeth. Some of these germs cause gum disease. The gums can become red and swollen and may bleed during toothbrushing or flossing. This is called gingivitis, the first stage of periodontal disease.
Gingivitis can usually be reversed with daily brushing and flossing and regular cleanings by the dentist. If it is not stopped, gingivitis could lead to a more serious type of gum disease called periodontitis.
Periodontitis. Periodontitis is an infection of the tissues that hold the teeth in place. In periodontitis, plaque builds and hardens under the gums. The gums pull away from the teeth, forming "pockets" of infection. The infection leads to loss of the bone that holds the tooth in its socket and might lead to tooth loss.
There are often no warning signs of early periodontitis. Pain, abscess, and loosening of the teeth do not occur until the disease is advanced. Since periodontitis affects more than just the gums, it cannot be controlled with regular brushing and flossing. Periodontitis should be treated by a periodontist (a gum disease specialist) or by a general dentist who has special training in treating gum diseases.
How Is Periodontal Disease Treated?
Plaque Removal. Treatment of periodontitis depends on how much damage the disease has caused. In the early stages, the dentist or periodontist will use deep cleaning to remove hardened plaque and infected tissue under the gum and smooth the damaged root surfaces of teeth. This allows the gum to re-attach to the teeth. A special mouthrinse or an antibiotic might also be prescribed to help control the infection.
Deep cleaning is successful only if the patient regularly brushes and flosses to keep the plaque from building up again.
Periodontal Surgery. Gum surgery is needed when periodontitis is very advanced and tissues that hold a tooth in place are destroyed. The dentist or periodontist will clean out the infected area under the gum, then reshape or replace the damaged tooth-supporting tissues. These treatments increase the chances of saving the tooth.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

I have an existing web application that already has tons of CSS, but want a total revamp.
Tools and suggestions about how to do this would be great.
your best option is a simple text editor, a good CSS book and Google.
no sarcasm or anything intended. if you want to revamp your CSS, learn CSS and write it yourself. no tool will ever produce the same quality as hand written CSS.
I'm inclined to say you should just use a standard text editor and the refresh button on your browser. Visual Studio has auto complete for CSS styles so that could help.
Alternatively you could try something like this
but personally I think its overkill
Use a simpel text editor, with some syntax highlighting.
Read up on, Object Oriented CSS.
Slideshow about this: http://www.slideshare.net/stubbornella/object-oriented-css
Use Firefox, install the "Firebug" and "Web Developer" Add On. They are invaluable when you need to explore the current setup.
You'll get a "Inspect Element" feature with Firebug that also allows you to inspect small changes rapidly.
Use (search for) reset stylesheets for a good start; and really go for the semantics of your content, not just pure CSS effects.
I wouldn't do a "total revamp" unless I had a fantastic reason to do so. That being said, the only tools I would use is a standard editor with syntax-highlighting (like intype), and firebug. Avoid wysiwyg editors like the plague! They will write horrible markup/css, and you'll find yourself wanting to do yet another revamp down the road. Learn to write solid styling rules, and avoid verbosity.
Another interesting firefox plugin that works in conjuction with firebug is firediff. This will help you keep track of the changes you're making in firebug, to carry them over into your project files.
I would also keep the major browsers (Opera, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE7/8) opened in parallel to one-another, for constant testing. You'll meet some designers who say "Get it working in Firefox, then test later in IE," but I call that nonsense - test it in all, all the time, and you won't have to figure out solutions for one in the end.
I am using Yaml for creating CSS based layout. It's not a "tool" to revamp existing CSS files but comes with a lot of examples and predesigned CSS files to design floating layouts with CSS (and helps to add all those terrible browser-specific hacks to get cross-browser working pages). Not sure if this could be interesting for your purpose, just take a look.
Structually, you could try using a grid layout like 960.
If you'd like to try a CSS framework, you could use something like cssscaffold or compass.
You may be interested in trying the "object oriented css" style moving forward.
Your original question is a little non-specific, though.


text: The thing that drives me nuts about Thad is probably his best quality. He never panics and always sticks to his strategy. He doesn't make snap decisions and keeps with his game plan. When OSU went down 8 to Illinois I got worried and wanted changes. OSU didn't change and eventually wore down the Illini.

Kaiser Family Foundation/New York Times/CBS News Non-Employed Poll
To help shed light on recent trends in the U.S. employment market, the Kaiser Family Foundation partnered with the New York Times and CBS News to conduct a survey of adults between the ages of 25-54 (generally considered to be prime working age) who are not currently employed. Rather than focusing only on those who meet the official government definition of unemployment, this survey takes a broad look at all prime-age adults who are not working, regardless of their desire for work or job-seeking activities. While the official U.S. unemployment rate has declined since the start of the recession in late 2007, the total share of adults who are not employed has risen in recent years. This survey examines the views and experiences of this broad group of prime-age workers who are not employed, including how they get by financially, the factors to which they attribute their lack of employment, what it would take to get them working, and – for those who used to work – how being out of work has changed their lives.Poll Finding Read More
New Kaiser/New York Times/CBS News Poll Looks at Experiences of Americans Who are Not Employed and What It Would Take to Get Them Back to Work

Kaiser Health Policy Tracking Poll: December 2014
With many of the Affordable Care Act's (ACA) major provisions taking effect this past year, the December Kaiser Health Tracking Poll finds that many Americans are aware of the main parts of the law and, with the exception of the individual mandate, at least 6 in 10 feel favorably towards them. The poll finds the vast majority of the uninsured don't know the deadline to enroll, most expect to get health insurance in the next few months, and nearly two-thirds say they don't think they'll have to pay a fine, or don't know if they will, for not having coverage this year.Poll Finding Read More
Kaiser Health Policy News Index: December 2014
Other than the big stories of Ferguson, Ebola and ISIS, the only other news which captured a majority of the public's attention this month was President Obama's executive order on immigration. Smaller, yet substantial, shares report closely following many health policy news stories this month. Over four in ten say they closely followed the lawsuit filed by House Republicans against President Obama over the implementation of the health care law and about a third say they followed a change in the official estimate for the number of people that enrolled in health insurance during the ACA's first open enrollment period and the ACA's second open enrollment period. The least closely followed health policy story of those asked about this month, was coverage of comments about the ACA made by MIT health economist, Jonathan GruberPoll Finding Read More
Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: June 2013
As the country gears up for implementation of the major provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), June's Kaiser Health Tracking Poll takes a step back and examines views on health insurance more broadly among some key subgroups, including young adults, the uninsured, and those with pre-existing conditions. The poll finds that the large majority of Americans want and value health insurance.Poll Finding Read More

Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: May 2014
More than four years after the Affordable Care Act's enactment and more than a month after the close of open enrollment, six in 10 Americans say the health reform law has not had an impact on them or their families, Kaiser's May Tracking Poll finds. Among those who say it has, Republicans are much more likely to say their families have been hurt by the law than helped, while Democrats are more likely to say their families have been helped than hurt.Poll Finding Read More
Kaiser Health Policy News Index: May 2014
The Kaiser Health Policy News Index is designed to help journalists and policymakers understand which health policy-related news stories Americans are paying attention to, and what the public understands about health policy issues covered in the news. This month's Index finds that news about the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enrollment numbers was followed by more than half the public, ranking behind two non-health news stories (the kidnapping of Nigerian schoolgirls and the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia).Poll Finding Read More

U.S. Concrete Receives Court Approval of 'First-Day' Motions in its Debt Restructuring
HOUSTON, May 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — U.S. Concrete, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMIX) today announced it received approval of its first-day motions by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. Included in the relief granted at a hearing on Friday was interim authority to continue to pay suppliers in the ordinary course, and final approval to continue customer programs and employee wage and benefit programs. The Company also received authority, on an interim basis, to enter into an $80 million debtor-in-possession (DIP) credit facility to fund operations as it moves forward with its comprehensive debt restructuring. J.P. Morgan acted as sole-lead arranger and administrative agent on the DIP facility. Final approval of all motions is expected to be granted at a hearing to be held on May 21, 2010.
"We are pleased the Court approved our first-day motions so promptly," said Michael W. Harlan, President and Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Concrete, Inc. "These approvals enable us to minimize any impact on our suppliers, customers and employees as we move forward with our debt restructuring. We anticipate completing our restructuring in the next 75 to 90 days and emerging as a stronger company. The credit facility is a key element to a stable and successful restructuring," continued Mr. Harlan. "Tennenbaum DIP Opportunity Fund, LLC, also participated in this facility and has been a supportive, responsive and flexible partner during our restructuring process."
The Company expects to gain approval of its Disclosure Statement at a hearing set for June 3, 2010 and to move forward soliciting votes for its proposed Plan of Reorganization in an expedited manner. The Plan proposes all trade creditors be paid in full in the ordinary course. Additional information about the restructuring is available at the Company's website, www.us-concrete.com or via the Company's restructuring line at (888) 369-8931.
About U.S. Concrete

About the Owner
Guestbook comments from the owner
We cannot say enough about this beautiful home! We used it for 7 adults in early November and it was perfect! With so many condos in the area, a comfortable house is hard to find and this house is everything we could have dreamed of! The separate sitting areas, the beautiful pool, and the big kitchen all made it great for such a large group! The home has incredibly comfortable beds and is furnished beautifully! A definite must stay again!

Everything you want in a house AND close to beach!
Love this house:)
Not so gorgeous
First, I have to say while the property has potential to be lovely, it obviously is not properly maintained. Entering the living room, there was popcorn visible on the carpet and under the sofa. Hairpins could be seen on the floor so this floor had not been cleaned! There were multiple slats missing from the vertical blinds in the sunroom and master. The pool deck was black with mildew and the pool was filled with debris. The screen enclosing the pool was covered with large webs WITH large spiders! The pool furniture is rusted to the point of being a safety issue.Expecting that the rest of the house would be more of the same, we moved to the bedrooms. Pulling back the cover on the master bed revealed black HAIRS! We immediately removed the sheets and began to wash all of the sheets in the house. Going upstairs was more of the same. Broken ceiling fan in the loft bedroom (how is a house rented with only 3 of 4 blades on a fan), broken toliet seat in the upstairs bathroom and when flushed, the toliet would not stop running. There were multiple burned out
light bulbs and the kitchen clock needed a battery. Both shower curtains were covered with mildew and the throw rugs had obviously not been washed in months.
Of course I immediately called the Ocean Properties office to report all of these issues. Seeming uninterested, they sent a duo of
housekeepers, who said the pool deck needed pressure washed. Since the property manager claimed the house had just been
cleaned, in order to be sure the house was actually clean, we chose to clean ourselves and worked past midnight.
Tim from maintanence was very helpful and did replace the slats on the blinds, batteries, and lightbulbs. He also brought new outside hoses. He said he would see about fixing the ceiling fan but that did not occur during our stay. The "gentleman" who was sent to pressurewash the pool deck was gone more than he was at the property so he didn't finish the job. He complained to us about how hard it was to find someone to work on a Sunday...honestly not our problem. We fixed a couple of bikes so we could ride...we purchased beach chairs also.
We were given a check to compensate for the inconvenience..insulted.
Love this House!!
We took a few days and just hungout between the beach and house swimming, ordered pizza, rented scooters and explored the area...then several evenings we spent in Daytona (I would highly recommend Ocean Deck and Cruisin' Cafe)
The owners of this house are amazing to work with, I guarantee you'll love this house and continue coming back year after year like we do!!

The time integrated far field for Maxwell's and D'Alembert's equations
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: For large consider the electric field, , and its temporal Fourier Transform, . The D.C. component is equal to the time integral of the electric field. Experimentally, one observes that the D.C. component is negligible compared to the field. In this paper we show that this is true in the far field for all solutions of Maxwell's equations. It is not true for typical solutions of the scalar wave equation. The difference is explained by the fact that though each component of the field satisfies the scalar wave equation, the spatial integral of vanishes identically. For the scalar wave equation the spatial integral of need not vanish. This conserved quantity gives the leading contribution to the time integrated far field. We also give explicit formulas for the far field behavior of the time integrals of the intensity.

Viral Tests
Results continued...
Depending on the virus, it can take weeks for antibodies to develop after exposure to the virus. In these situations, test results may be negative early in the course of the infection. This is called a false-negative test result. Another blood sample may need to be drawn later to check again for a viral infection. Antibody titers that get higher over 3 weeks from the first sample to the second mean the infection occurred recently.
Normal (results that do not show a viral infection are called negative):
Antibody test:
No antibodies to the virus are found.
Viral antigen detection test:
No antigens made by the viral infection are found.
Viral culture:
No viral infection is seen in the culture.
No viral DNA or RNA is found.
Abnormal (results that show a viral infection are called positive):
Antibody test:
Antibodies to a virus are found. But if you have a second antibody test and the results are not higher than the first test, this may mean the infection occurred in the past and is not a problem now.
Viral antigen detection test:
Viral antigens are found.
Viral culture:
Changes occur in the culture that show a viral infection.
Viral DNA or RNA detection test:
Viral DNA or RNA is found.
What Affects the Test
Reasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include taking antiviral medicines.

3 cops, 'asset' arrested for extortion in Quezon City
More News from Jamie Marie Elona
MANILA, Philippines—Three policemen and their "asset" were arrested for trying to extort money from a man they apprehended for alleged public scandal, police said Friday.
Police Officer 1 Ryan Parungo, PO1 Rommel Biag and PO1 Dennis Magda were arrested during an entrapment operation after their alleged asset identified as John Dominic Laudio, who was the first to be arrested, pointed to the tree as his cohorts, said PO3 Jamie De Jesus of the Quezon City Police District's investigation department.
Investigation showed that the police officers on Wednesday evening arrested Renato Bautista over an unspecified public scandal violation.
In an interview with Radyo Inquirer 990AM, Bautista claimed that he met Renz while he was eating in a fast food restaurant in near Philcoa in Quezon City. Renz allegedly asked him to go a dark and isolated area in the vicinity.
But Renz turned out to be a police asset and the policemen later arrested Bautista, said De Jesus.
De Jesus said the victim was made to board the mobile patrol car, where the policemen checked all his personal belongings. The suspects allegedly asked him to pay P25,000 in exchange for his liberty.
The policemen then brought Bautista to three ATM machines to withdraw money, but were not able to get any cash as the victim's bank cards were all empty.
"Hence, the suspects took his P600 cash, two ATM cards, two cellphones, a watch and his company ID," De Jesus said.
The suspects then asked him to just borrow money from his friends and drove him to Victoria Towers where they waited for two hours for a fried to wake up and bail him out.
But De Jesus said Baustista failed to wake up his friend and out of desperation "attempted to borrow money from the guards, but there was none."
The policemen then left Bautista to the custody of Laudio, who initially introduced himself as PO1 Marlon Panal. The victim was, however, able to convince Laudio to let him go so he could produce the money.
"The victim was given until 12 noon of Thursday to produce the money," De Jesus said, adding that Laudio called up Bautista around 2 p.m. and demanded that he pay P10,000 in exchange for his personal belongings.
It was at this point that one of Bautista's friends police about the extortion bid. An entrapment operation was later arranged where Laudio was arrested and admitted his involvement in the crime.
The three policemen were later arrested after receiving marked money in a separate entrapment operation.
Police were looking for Renz, who remains at large, and another still unidentified police officer.
In September 2012, two QCPD policemen were investigated over an extortion attempt against the son of NCRPO chief Director Leonardo Espina.
Espina fired Senior Police Officer 4 Jose Dela Peña Jr. in response to another complaint filed by retired general Celso Castro, who claimed that his son was also a victim of the policeman's extortion activities.

Theophilus London ft. Jesse Boykins III - Enjoy the Sun
Artist: Theophilus London
Featuring: Jesse Boykins III
Producer: Machine Drum
Album: TBD
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 11 votes )
It seems like colder weather is always synonymous with radio stations putting the same seven songs in continuous rotation and playing them until it's painful (just thinking about Mario's Break Up is giving me a migraine), but luckily Theophilus London is the silver lining in the clouds, here to make sure that we can still Enjoy the Sun. I always welcome inspired music to my speakers with open arms, and the last word that could possibly be used to describe London's latest submission to the Booth is unoriginal. Featuring past collaborators Jesse Boykins III and out-of-this -world producer, Machine Drum, the single is a more than effective showcase of London's genre-bending style and obvious creative talent, exactly the musical gift we all need while the sun continues to go down earlier every day. Although Enjoy the Sun is currently not part of a larger project, fans should stay tuned to the Booth's pages for further developments.

Indian and Pakistani militaries trying to bring down tensions
ISLAMABAD: In a sign that the Indian and Pakistani militaries may be attempting to bring down tensions over reports of troop movement and mobilisation, the heads of military operations of both countries spoke to each other over their telephone hotline on Sunday.
"Yes, they spoke to each other today [Sunday]," Major-General Athar Abbas confirmed to The Hindu but said he had no more details. The Indian Director-General Military Operations (DGMO) and his Pakistani counterpart hold a scheduled weekly conversation on their hotline every Tuesday.
Asked about Sunday's unscheduled interaction, Maj-Gen Abbas said the DGMOs spoke "whenever there is a requirement to talk." He declined to comment on whether the contact was meant to defuse the tensions of the last three days over reports that India was engaged in a troop build-up along its border with Pakistan.
The spokesman only said that "whenever the communication remains open, it is always a positive sign." Diplomatic observers also said it was a "good" sign that the two militaries were using an established mechanism to talk to each other.
The contact between the two senior military officials – on the Indian side a Lieutenant-General and a Major-General on the Pakistani side – came two days after Indian High Commissioner Satyabrata Pal conveyed to Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir that the reports of troop mobilisation by India were baseless.
According to diplomatic sources privy to the meeting, the Indian envoy, recalling that the Pakistani DGMO had spoken to his Indian counterpart over the alleged violation of Pakistani airspace by the Indian Air Force, pointed out that Pakistan could have used the same mechanism to verify reports of the Indian troop mobilisation.

Desert Treasure is a quest released on 18 April 2005. It involves the player assisting the Mahjarrat Azzanadra in his escape from his pyramid prison in the Kharidian Desert.
Official descriptionEdit
| Rumours abound throughout Varrock and Al-Kharid that an archaeologist has discovered clues to a hoard of treasure hidden deep in the desert, south of Al-Kharid.
Anybody prepared to offer him assistance in his treasure hunting could well find themselves benefitting from a very large reward indeed...

|Enemies to defeat
There are a lot of strong bosses that you are required to kill in a one-on-one fight. Failure to bring good food and armour may result in a quick death.
Asgarnia SmithEdit
- Items needed: Two free inventory spaces.
Walk or take a carpet ride to the Bedabin Camp in the Kharidian Desert and talk to the archaeologist, who can be found beside the magic carpet merchant. He tells you that he is the 'world famous' Asgarnia Smith, the discoverer of the Temple of Ikov and the Brimhaven Agility Arena. When you ask him for a quest, he tells you that he works for the Archaeological Society of Varrock and needs help in delivering an old stone tablet he chanced upon in one of his excavations, for translation.
Since he won't part with the tablet itself, Asgarnia will draw up some etchings to bring to the archaeological expert, Terry Balando, at the Digsite exam centre.
Head to the exam centre and talk to Terry, who is simply called the 'Archaeological Expert'. He will take the etchings off you and swiftly create a roughly translated journal to take back to Asgarnia, noting that the find seems to date back even further than the settlement being excavated at the digsite.
Four Diamonds of AzzanadraEdit
- Items needed: 6 steel bars, 12 magic logs, 6 molten glass (the bars, logs and glass can be noted), a charcoal, a blood rune, ashes and bones. You should also not be wearing Saradomin or Zamorak-aligned gear.
Go back to Asgarnia and hand over Terry's journal to him, but he suggests that you read it before him; the book explains a journey made by 'gods' in to the desert, where they decided to 'conceal' a certain 'wealth' and protect it using the 'dead' and four magical 'crystals', held by the 'strong'.
Asgarnia requests your help in locating this wealth, and agrees to split the treasure evenly. He wants you to dig around for information down at the Bandit Camp, while he searches for clues amongst the Bedabin nomads.
If you wear an item aligned to Saradomin or Zamorak, the bandits in the camp will attack you, which can deter you from proceeding. Even if you survive the onslaught, Eblis will refuse to talk to you, calling you a false prophet.
Go south to the bandit camp and buy a bandit's brew from the bar. Drink it and talk to the bartender, asking him if knows anything about the four 'crystals'. Shocked, he tells you that there is indeed an old tale about the four Diamonds of Azzanadra, but you'll have to speak to someone more invested in the desert's history to learn about them.
Speak to Eblis, who can be found inside (or near) the eastern-most house, past the general store. Ask him why the bandits are so hostile towards outsiders and request to learn more about their history. He explains that a few generations ago, their god was banished and they were left to fend for themselves against the armies of Zamorak and Saradomin. They were attacked from all fronts and eventually lost their land, and were forced to take up home in the desert. Their hero, Azzanadra, was imprisoned and bound in a stone structure to the south of the camp, and they await for his return to cast vengeance upon those who stole what was theirs.
Ask him about the diamonds, and he'll tell you that they are the legacy left behind by Azzanadra, stolen by the warriors of Zamorak after he was imprisoned. You must subdue and kill these creatures - who have absorbed the power of the diamond into themselves - to retrieve them.
Mirror, MirrorEdit
Eblis is ready to help you in your endeavour, in the hopes that Azzanadra might be free again. He needs a few items from you to create special scrying glasses, using which he can sense the diamonds' power and provide a rough location of where each of them have been. Use the required items on Eblis and he'll tell you to meet him a short distance south-east, at the site of the Bandit camp lodestone.
Head to the small hill to find Eblis standing between six mystical mirrors. Look into each of the mirrors and you will see six locations across Gielinor. Two of them - the pyramid and the Bandit Camp - are not indicative of the diamonds' current location.
The other four locations show where you can find the diamonds - these are, Canifis, an icy location near Trollheim, a smokey well near Pollnivneach and a calm, serene area with benches and trees that is west of Fishing Guild and south of Baxtorian Falls.
You must now obtain each of the four diamonds - namely the Diamond of Ice, Blood, Shadow and Smoke - which are in the possession of strong guardians. This can be done in any order.
Warning: Should you keep any of the diamonds in your inventory, there is a chance you'll be attacked by a level 81 stranger. He is capable of hitting over 5000 life points per special attack so you must stay alert. It is advised to keep the diamonds in the bank as far as possible.
Canifis - Dessous - Blood DiamondEdit
- Items needed: Garlic, a silver bar and spice.
Items recommended: Good food (something along your constitution level works best), 2-3 prayer potions, a druid pouch or ouroboros pouch, magic combat supplies and/or a dwarf multicannon, and an emergency teleport (such as a teleport tablet). You must leave all weapons and armour in the bank until after your visit to Entrana.
Travel to Canifis and enter the Hair of the Dog pub, where a cutscene ensues (if it doesn't play, just go ahead and talk to Malak) where Malak, a vampyre lord, demands a blood tithe from the tavern's owner. After some conversation, Malak recognises you as a stranger and asks of your business in these lands. Tell him that you are looking for the blood diamond, which piques his interest and he makes a proposal to you - he'll tell you the whereabouts of the diamond, but you must successfully kill its owner, who is currently another vampyre lord named Dessous.
When you agree to his deal, he points you towards Dessous' resting place, which is in the graveyard located south-east of Canifis. Malak also provides you with instructions on how to lure Dessous out and kill him.
You will first need to get a sacrificial offering pot from Ruantan, a vampyre in the Draynor Sewers. Make sure to speak about the offering pot, otherwise you will have to go back to Malak. Head to the Draynor Sewers through the trapdoor entrance located near Draynor Jail. Go a bit north to find a vampyre named Ruantun and exchange the silver bar with the offering pot.
Next, you need to bless the pot with holy power to weaken Dessous. For this, you require the help of the High Priest of Entrana, so make sure you have banked all of your weapons and armour. Head over to Entrana and talk to the high priest, who happily obliges. If the pot is not blessed, you can still confront Dessous, but you cannot kill him.
Return to Canifis and speak to Malak. He will damage you for 50 life points, and fill the blessed pot with your blood. Crush the garlic to get some powder and add it to the pot of blood, along with the spice, to get a blessed pot with blood. The sacrificial pot is now ready to lure Dessous out of his tomb and retrieve the diamond.
Dessous, the Blood ForagerEdit
Take the pot to the graveyard in the Mort Myre swamp. Beware of ghasts as they may rot your food on your way to Dessous, unless you are carrying a charged druid pouch. Once you arrive at the graveyard, prepare yourself for combat and pour the blood on the tomb to summon Dessous.
- Dessous is a level 84 enemy with 3,000 life points. He has two attacking styles - a melee and a ranged/magic attack, both of which have a fast attack rate. The ranged/magic attack will hit constant 50s, while the melee attack can hit up to 200.
- He can teleport next to you if you try to safespot him.
- If you make him teleport more than three times, he says "I'm tired of playing with you" and return back inside the coffin, and you will have to go back to Malak for fresh blood and use new spices and garlic with it.
- Bring 1-2 prayer potions, the ectophial or a teleportation tablet, stat-boosting potions and fill your remaining inventory with good food. You can always teleport out and try again, but you need to visit Malak to refill the pot with your blood.
- Dessous changes his style of attack depending on which prayer you use, so if you pray protect from melee, he will only use ranged/magic attacks, while praying either Protect from Ranged/Magic allows him to use either. It is recommended to use the Protect from Melee prayer, as it hits considerably harder.
- If Dessous revives with full health when you kill him, you probably forgot to take the silver pot to the High Priest on Entranna. Don't waste your ammo; get it blessed first.
There are many ways to defeat Dessous:
- 1. Using Magic
- Dessous is weak against air spells, so use the strongest air spell you have access to. Drink a dose of magic and defense potions prior to the fight, activate Mystic Might and Overcharge prayers and attack him from up close. Dessous should not be be a problem, even with level 50 Magic and using Air Blast.
- 2. Using Melee
- Dessous is fairly easy to defeat using melee with tier 60 weapons or better, but may require more food than the magic strategy as melee armour won't provide as much protection against his melee attacks as mage armour. Bring stat boosting potions. Since his magic and ranged attacks can't be avoided, Protect from Melee is recommended.
- 3. Using Ranged
- Due to the accuracy of Dessous' attacks, even with Protect from Melee, ranging him is not recommended. Nevertheless, it is still possible with at least a level 60 ranged weapon, such as a red salamander.
- 4. Using a cannon
- A dwarf multicannon can be used to kill Dessous. In this case, simply set up the cannon and reload when needed. You can attack him with whatever you want, as the cannon will do most of the work.
After the fight, go back to Malak, who will give you the blood diamond and take the blessed pot. Make sure to bank the blood diamond immediately in the Canifis bank to prevent having to face the possibility of the stranger's appearance.
Ice Path - Kamil - Ice DiamondEdit
- Items needed
- 1 regular cake or chocolate cake, or a chocolate bar
- Spiked boots (made by bringing Dunstan, the Burthorpe blacksmith, an iron bar and a pair of climbing boots)
- Climbing boots (In addition to the spiked boots, to climb over rock obstacles; not required if you have done Eadgar's Ruse)
- Fire spells if using magic
- Recommended Items
The icy area reduces every single stat by 1 every few seconds, while also dealing 200 life points of damage; adrenaline and run energy are also periodically reduced by 10% (making Rejuvenate impossible to use). You will not be able to run unless you use the Surefooted Aura, or have bathed in the salt-water spring from in Oo'glog beforehand. Under these conditions, you will have to kill 5 level 89 enemies, withstand attacks from aggressive, high-level wolves, have a boss fight, and then risk falling on the ice path. You can make multiple trips, if necessary.
- 4+ regular or super restore potions
- 1-2 prayer potions (depending on combat level)
- Lots of good food, preferably lobster or better. You can lose a lot of health in the cold.
- Saradomin brews if you use super restore potions
- For mages, runes for your best fire spell (Polypore strike and standard air, water, and earth spells do not affect Kamil)
- Emergency teleportation method.
- Surefooted or greater surefooted Aura
- 30 Magic to use the Surge ability, which decreases time spent in the cold
(Bringing a familiar seems to glitch the fight with Kamil; he constantly disappears and reappears, making it impossible to kill him)
Braving the SnowEdit
Head to Trollheim using a method such as teleporting or walking from Burthorpe. At the north-west corner of the mountain is a path leading towards the Ice Path. Do not confuse this with the northeast passage to the God Wars Dungeon. Go up this passage until you see a small troll child standing by an ice gate.
Talk to the child, and he will start crying. Give him a cake and he will tell you that his parents have been captured and frozen by a 'bad man' because they stole his diamond. Enter the ice gate and walk east towards a cave. The cave is blocked by five chunks of ice, preventing passage. Every time you kill an ice troll, one chunk falls down, which can be verified by the message: "A chunk of ice falls away from the cave entrance..." in your chat box.
Fire spells are recommended to kill the level 89 ice trolls, as they do considerably high damage. Pray against melee to avoid damage. Drink from a restore potion when your magic falls below the required level and eat as necessary.
WARNING: Do not underestimate the difficulty of moving through the first section as it is full of fast, accurate attackers and a freezing environment. On the path to the troll's parents, your stats, prayer points, run energy and adrenaline will be drained every few seconds and you will be constantly damaged for 200 life points. Restore potions or super restore potions are highly recommended. Kamil himself is not very far from the troll child.
Once you have killed five trolls at the gate, the cave at the back will be completely unblocked. If desired, leave to restore your stats or restock on items. Continue through the cave.
The area through the cave has level 95 wolves, so Protect from Melee is highly recommended. The path is long and winding, so running when you can is highly advised, as it will save time and prevent you from dying or temporarily losing many levels. Run mode is turned off every time you are drained and needs to be repeatedly turned back on again.
Kamil, Warrior of the ColdEdit
Kamil is a level 84 enemy and has 3,150 life points. He is a lot more deadly than his combat level suggests due to his unique ice spell, which is similar to Ice Barrage. Even if you are a very high level, it is critical to bring lots of food and potions. When you are fighting Kamil, remember to have Protect from Melee prayer on at all times, as he can hit very high with melee.
Through the first half of the fight, he freezes you frequently. While you are frozen, you will be unable to cast a spell, and after each time he freezes you, you will stop attacking. It is recommended to click "attack" as often as possible. About halfway through the fight, he stops freezing you as frequently and you will be able to make headway on casting spells at him.
Kamil drops a Super restore potion and two Chocolate cakes. It is safe to eat the cakes — you will not need to give them to anyone.
- 1. Using Magic
- The highest possible level fire spell should be used here. The decreased Magic level you will suffer due to the environment affects both your ability to cast a spell and its accuracy.
- When fighting, make sure to stand next to Kamil so that he will attack with melee more often than ice magic. If not, then Kamil will consistently cast his freezing spell up to several times per minute, dealing 50 damage with every hit. Even if you're capable of sustaining all of the damage, you will only have a few chances every minute to cast your own spell on Kamil.
- Note that Polypore Strike and air spells will NOT work against Kamil, every cast results in a splash (you can still use the Polypore staff with a standard fire spell).
- 2. Using a Cannon
- Kamil can be killed by a dwarf multicannon. Dragonhide armour is recommended to protect against the Magic attacks that he may cast. Bring at least 200 cannonballs.
- 3. Using Melee
- Kamil can be killed using tier 60+ gear almost as easily as with magic, but he does have higher melee defence than he does against magic, so bring several restore potions to keep your stats at their regular levels. Boosts are less effective as the cold will constantly lower your stats.
After Kamil has been defeated, turn off all prayers and use food sparingly — there will be no more fighting for this diamond, so you will only have to worry about the constant 200 life point damage from the cold and the potential 200 life point damage from falling on the upcoming ice path.
Thawing the ThievesEdit
For this part, playing on high detail is recommended, as the icy path can be difficult to see on standard detail.
If you are low on health, talking to the frozen trolls and leaving the menu open can temporarily stop the auto-damage and allow you to heal.
Once Kamil is dead, you need to follow the Ice Path to the north-west. The path winds anticlockwise around a small mountain. Put on your spiked boots and climb up the ledge. You will fall as you walk along the Ice Path and take 200 damage. Super restore potions may help here, since higher Agility seems to decrease the fall frequency. However with the surefooted aura you can run the whole course without falling once.
Follow the Ice Path all the way to the top until you see another gate and a bridge. On the other side, the troll's parents are encased in ice. It is possible to run on the path, but a decent Agility level is needed to do so.
The ice blocks have 1000 life points each. Attack them to free the troll mother and troll father. After freeing the troll parents, they will take you back outside the gate and their son will give you the ice diamond.
Teleport out and quickly bank the diamond. Be sure to restore any fallen stats to regular levels before continuing the quest. Entering and exiting Dungeoneering is a quick way to restore stats.
Smokey Well - Fareed - Smoke DiamondEdit
- Items needed
- Facemask/Masked earmuffs/Slayer helmet/Gasmask
- Ice Gloves
- Runes for water spells if maging, as he is immune to other elemental spell types.
- Ice Arrows if using ranged.
- Recommended items
- Run energy restoration methods. (3+ super energy potions, explorer's ring 3/4, a spirit terrorbird, or the salt-water spring in Oo'glog)
- Weight-reducing gear like spottier cape and boots of lightness.
- Decent armour and weapons.
- A small amount of food and prayer potions may be needed, depending on your Constitution and Prayer levels.
- Runes for teleport to house if your house is in Pollnivneach, a modified house teleport tablet, desert amulet 2 or higher, coins for carpet rides or a slayer ring.
Smoke DungeonEdit
Teleport to the Al Kharid lodestone then go through the Shantay Pass south of there, if wanted you can use 200 gold to get to Pollnivneach by flying carpets which is located just east of the Shantay Pass entrance.
Go east of the Flying carpets, then follow the wall down south, until you reach the end, then go up a bit an you will see the Smoke Dungeon, make sure you have either the Facemask, Masked earmuffs, Slayer helmet or a gasmask on before going in, if not you will have to go back to your bank to get one of these.
Lights, Heat, Fire!Edit
You will need at least one free inventory space at all times - opening the chest will cause the key to appear in your inventory, and defeating Fareed will cause the diamond to appear in your inventory.
Equip a facemask or some similar kind of protection from the smoke and take all of the items listed to the Smokey Well. It is marked on the world map as a dungeon west of Pollnivneach.
There is a chest in the middle of the dungeon, which when attempted to open, says "Light the path to claim the key." In each of the four corners of this dungeon, there are torches that you need to light, using your tinderbox. Plan your route through the dungeon first, and then run and light all the torches, sipping energy potions or using summoning familiars such as the spirit terrorbird as you run.
If you have completed Smoking Kills, it is recommended to enter from the well and down the dark stairs inside Pollnivneach, and you will end up right next to a torch (marked 2 on the map below), and you won't have to run backwards to get the key. Setting your house teleport to Pollnivneach will greatly speed up this process as well. Some prayer protection could be advised for low levels; the left side contains dust devils, and the right side contains fire giants.
When all four are lit, go to the centre of the dungeon and open the burnt chest that contains a warm key. The lamps will burn out if you take too long. If you walk, the first lamp will burn out by the time you reach the chest. If you have access to the salt-water spring at Oo'glog (after As a First Resort... quest), it is strongly recommended to make use of it as you will be doing a lot of running during this part.
- 0, 2: Entrances
- 1-4: These are the torches you need to light. 2 is the entrance if entering by climbing down the Pollnivneach well, then through the cave to the immediate left of the well entrance. If entering at 2 best path is to light 2, 1, 3, then 4. If entering at 0 light 4, 3, 2, 1.
- 5: Chest where the key is located
- 6: Fareed
With the warm key, stroll to the east part of the dungeon where there is a gate. Use the key on the gate and Fareed will be awakened.
Fareed, Guardian of the SmokeEdit
Fareed is arguably the easiest of the four bosses. His combat level is 84 and has 3,000 life points. Nevertheless, caution is required. If you die after entering Fareed's lair, you will lose your key. If Fareed kills you or you leave the fight via the gate, you do not need to relight the torches and reobtain the key.
Ice gloves are needed to wield a weapon against Fareed; if you don't wear ice gloves, you will not be able to cast any spells, as you need either a staff or a wand to cast spells. However, off-hand weapons can be used against Fareed. Fareed is weak to water spells, so magic is recommended. Note that spell types other than water cannot hit him. Rangers have to use ice arrows as he will incinerate other ammo types. The crystal bow also appears to be able to be used.
It is possible to kill him with ranged or magic without ice gloves. You need to run away from him and equip the weapon, fire quickly, and repeat. Everytime he gets close, you will drop your weapon again.
When fighting Fareed, using Protect from Melee is useful. His magic attack is quite weak.
- 1. Using Magic
- Magic is the most effective way to kill Fareed due to his weakness to it; cast the best water spell that you have. No air, earth, or fire spells, including polypore strike, will affect Fareed. Magic boosts are helpful, but not really necessary as he can be killed pretty fast if using water wave. The special attacks of the god staves are very effective, and take him down in a matter of seconds.
- 2. Using Melee
- Simply wear the ice gloves and use a decent weapon (Dragon weapon or better). He has moderately high melee defence, so boosts and stat boosting prayers are advisable.
- 3. Using Ranged
- Range him with ice arrows while wearing ice gloves. You will need a magic shortbow or better to deal effective damage. Fareed will incinerate regular projectiles shot at him and turn them into ashes. Potions are highly recommended if using this method - Fareed has very high ranged defence.
Once you have killed Fareed, the smoke diamond will automatically appear in your inventory. Teleport out and bank the diamond.
WARNING: If it doesn't appear in your inventory, you must pick it up from the ground, otherwise you will have to fight Fareed again.
Shadow Dungeon - Damis - Shadow DiamondEdit
- Items needed
- Lockpicks - The amount needed depends on your Thieving level and some luck, with some players requiring as many as 100. You can bring noted lockpicks to sell to the shop there and buy back in the un-noted form, to prevent multiple trips to the camp. Lockpicks cost 1397 each at G.E. If you want to avoid paying this price the best way to obtain them would to be buy them from Martin Thwait in Rogue's Den in Taverley (10 lockpicks are in stock at the shop). However 50 Agility and 50 Thieving are required to enter the trapdoor.
- A hair clip obtained after King's Ransom has a greater chance of picking the chest than a normal lockpick, but it will also be destroyed on failure.
- Recommended items
- 1-2 antipoisons (preferably super or better) or a holy symbol (Only if using the prayer book acquired during The Great Brain Robbery). An antipoison-totem will not prevent you from being poisoned by the chest.
- Good food and potions
- Combat equipment to fight Damis
- A beast of burden to carry additional lockpicks.
- Gloves of silence may also help if you try pickpocketing for lockpicks.
- Do not bring any Saradomin or Zamorak related items, it will make it very difficult to pickpocket bandits for new lockpicks and they might interrupt you when you try to picklock the chest.
Ring of VisibilityEdit
Travel west of the Fishing Guild to where there are several moss giants. Just to the north of them, there is a fenced-in area near Baxtorian Falls, where you'll find Rasolo. Talk to him about a diamond and he will tell you about the shadow diamond, which is protected by a guardian, named Damis, in a dungeon which can only be entered with the use of a ring of visibility, which he holds himself.
He is willing to part with the ring of visibility if you can retrieve his gilded cross that was stolen by Laheeb of the Bandit Camp.
Take some food, antipoison, the bandit's brew you had bought earlier, and as many lockpicks or hair clips as you can carry to the Bandit Camp. In the southern-most tent is a secure chest; drink the bandit's brew to temporarily boost your thieving by 1 and click the confirmation and you will attempt to open the lock. And repeat until you manage to open it and get a gilded cross. There are three locks which you must get through, all of which will reset if any attempt should fail.
If you do not have 53 Thieving, you will get the same failure message over and over.
- Each failure will break a lockpick and deal 20-30 life points of damage. The hitsplat is always green, but you are not poisoned every time. If you are poisoned though, you will be dealt with 226 poison damage. Temporary boosts such as bandit's brew may help with this chest. You may pickpocket nearby bandits for lockpicks and anti-poisons.
- To save trips, you can also bring around 5 lockpicks and note the rest you have. When the 5 are used up, sell the noted ones to the general store and re-buy them unnoted. This allows for more food to be brought. If you run out of lockpicks you can pickpocket from the guards in the bar for them.
Once you have the gilded cross return to Rasolo and exchange it for the ring of visibility. If you lose the ring, speak with Rasolo for another one. When you wear it, a ladder will appear to the east of Rasolo, in the fenced picnic area. This is the entrance to the Shadow Dungeon.
If you take off your ring of visibility at anytime while in the cave, you will have to leave the cave and re-enter to fight Damis.
Damis, Lord of the ShadowEdit
When you climb down the ladder, follow the directions shown by the red line, in the map above, to reach Damis's lair. Run to the centre and Damis will appear.
Damis is a level 84 enemy with 3,100 life points. He has two forms, both of which have the same combat level and life points - his first form is a basic fight against a melee combatant, whereas his second form will drain 20 Prayer points every 0.6 seconds when in combat with him. He only uses melee. Bring a few prayer potions and preferably a ranged or magic weapon, as a safespot is available.
If you die after defeating the first form you will only need to fight the second form when you come back.
Warning: When walking to the safespot in the north-eastern corner, Damis might disappear into the shadows and you will have to leave the dungeon completely and make your way back to fight him again, or alternatively, log into another world to make him re-appear. Do not attack him with a summoning familiar as it will cause him to vanish.
- 1. Using Magic
- Earth spells are extremely effective against Damis. It is recommended to use the specified safespot as Damis can burn your Prayer points constantly at a quick and steady rate at melee range, even so make sure to bring at least one or two prayer potions. Otherwise use your best earth spell coupled with frequent use of stunning abilities such as Impact.
- 2. Using Ranged
- Damis has very high ranged defence, so any ranged weapon lower than tier 60 will have difficulty hitting him, unless boosts and prayers are used.
- 3. Using Melee
- Due to the Prayer drain ability of Damis and high defence in his second form, meleeing foot to foot is not recommended. Using some form of weapon poison may prove useful if you can poison him in his first form, as he will remain poisoned in his second. It is suggested to take advantage of a safespot using a halberd.
A cannon works against him, but it is inadvisable as it would have to be set up outside the safe spot, and will frequently shoot at the skeletons and hounds. Be careful when trying to safespot him as the skeletons and hounds will try to attack you and will possibly start piling you from the moment you enter.
Once Damis is defeated, pick up the shadow diamond. Teleport out and bank the diamond.
Jaldraocht PyramidEdit
- Items needed
- Recommended items
- Prayer point boosting equipment, holy wrench, Falador shield (for a free Prayer restore)
- Weight-reducing equipment
- Explorer's ring 3 or 4 (for both the prayer bonus and run energy)
- 2+ prayer potions
- 1 super antipoison (or some strange fruit)
- 4+ super energy potions or a dip in the Oo'glog salt-water spring (or surefooted/greater surefooted aura)
- Waterskin or enchanted water tiara
- Decent food such as lobsters
- Emergency teleport for low level players if you run out of prayer potions and/or food
Iftah Ya, SimsimEdit
Return to Eblis, at the 6 mirrors in the desert with the four diamonds in your inventory. Go to the Pyramid southeast of Eblis (marked "Pyramid" on the world map), and place one diamond in each of the four obelisks at the outside corners of the pyramid. Each obelisk takes a specific diamond. You should be able to determine the diamond from the appearance of the obelisk, but trial-and-error placement also works. It is not possible to put a diamond into the wrong obelisk; it is also not possible to take a diamond back out of the obelisk.
When all four obelisks are activated, the pyramid doors will unlock. Enter the pyramid.
Tomb RaiderEdit
Desert heat is not a factor inside the pyramid, but almost all of the interior is dangerous, with level 86 scarab swarms occasionally boiling out of the floor, and level 77 mummies roaming about and spontaneously popping out of sarcophagi. All monsters use only melee, though the scarab swarms can also poison. The scarab swarms, spontaneous mummies, and traps cannot be detected in advance. The room containing the altar on level 4, however, is safe.
Every time a scarab swarm appears or a mummy pops out of a sarcophagus, you will stop moving, and will not be able to move until the animation has finished. It is possible to avoid a scarab swarm entirely by making sure it is behind a mummy. There are also randomly activated traps that will send you back to the entrance of the pyramid if you stand still for too long. The trap placement is seemingly random so it's recommended to avoid stopping, and by bringing weight reducing clothing and plenty of energy restore potions, you can greatly reduce the chance of running into one of these traps. If you get caught by a trap you will be taken outside to the south side of the pyramid but with no damage done. However if you would rather not get caught by a single trap simply click on the end ladder, or the doors on the last level, and you will avoid all the traps except the level 86 scarabs which will clear your target so you will have to click it again. Just walk north and re-enter the pyramid to start over, if you hit traps. It is useful to use a strange fruit while inside the pyramid, due to the fact that it recovers 60% run energy and cures any kind of poison you may have gotten while inside the pyramid.
The levels in the pyramid are numbered in the order the player encounters them in the quest. The purple line marks the route.
- Outside
- Enter the pyramid from its top. The southern entrance to Level 4 and the Ancient Magicks altar can only be used after the quest has been completed.
- Level 1
- Run from the entrance ladder to the Level 2 ladder. This level is the smallest in the area, with the fewest mummies. If possible, flash your prayer and save your run energy.
- Level 2
- Run from the Level 2 ladder to the Level 3 ladder. This level is the second smallest in area, with a few more mummies roaming about. This room might have a few traps. Be sure to look out for them.
- Level 3
- Run from the Level 3 ladder to the Level 4 ladder. This level is fairly large in area, presenting more of a challenge to players traversing it. A significant number of mummies are roaming about, and there is a vast amount of traps.
- Level 4
- Run from the Level 3 ladder to the altar room. This level is quite large in area, with a lot of mummies roaming about everywhere except the altar room. The altar room is separated by a door - do not rely on the minimap to run outside.
- It is possible for a scarab swarm to boil up inside the altar room, but this only happens if it was boiling up as you were entering the room. If this is the case, trap it between the door and an obstacle that is just in front of the door.
Speak to Azzanadra, who has lost track of time and believes that the God Wars are still going on. He goes on to talk about some ancient unknown civilisations like Paddewwa, Lassar and Annakarl. He is also surprised to see that he cannot hear Zaros in his mind anymore.
Azzanadra, finally coming to peace with the reality, rewards the adventurer with the Ancient Magics of Zaros, for their efforts. (If Azzanadra is not present, use the altar and he should appear.)
- 3 quest points
- 20,000 experience
- Ability to use Ancient Magicks. At any time, you can pray at the altar and change between the standard and Ancient Magicks spellbooks. After traversing the pyramid for the first time, you may enter via the back-door of the pyramid to gain a short cut to the altar. Be warned that changing spellbooks will drain your prayer to 0.
- Ring of visibility (If you ever lose it, you can obtain another one from Rasolo for free)
- You can also buy an ancient staff from Eblis for 80,000 coins, once. If you lose the staff, you will have to kill mummies inside the pyramid or at the Chaos Tunnels to get another one, or purchase a new one at the Grand Exchange for 61,119.
- Access to the Smoke Dungeon, which can be used for various slayer tasks.
- Access to the Zarosian gravestone.
- The ability to home teleport to the Bandit Camp lodestone.
- 2 Treasure Hunter keys and 2 Hearts of Ice

Cultural referencesEdit
- The name Eblis is derived from the Arabic word Iblīs "إبليس", which is the name of the major Satan (Devil, Shaitan or Setan) شيطان in Islam.
- 'Asgarnia Smith' is a reference to Indiana Jones, as both are archaeologists, and both have a first name after a location, and a common last name.

This is really shaping up. I love how they aren't afraid to completely redesign the progression system so that it better fits their game.
It is going to be tough to decide to play this of PS2 but since both are F2P I can play both whenever and however long I want.Wed Aug 08 2012 10:53AM Report
