Dragons have been around since the days of RuneScape classic, starting with Elvarg. Since the release of RuneScape 2, many Dragons were introduced. These include coloured dragons (Green, Blue, Red and Black), the offspring of these coloured dragons (known as Baby dragons), Metal dragons (Bronze to Mithril) and lastly Brutal dragons (the only one being Green, to date).
Metal dragons (Bronze to Steel) were introduced along with Slayer; they are ferocious and often assigned as Slayer tasks. Despite the fact that they do not offer decent Slayer experience, they offer quite a number of valuable rewards for those hardened adventurers willing to take them on in the Brimhaven Dungeon. On top of that, all metal dragons drop the corresponding bar of which they are made of. The coloured dragons (excluding the babies) drop the corresponding coloured dragonhides, used frequently in the art of Crafting. Brutal Green dragons (being the lone brutal species) were released along with Mithril dragons; these can be found lurking in the darkness of the Ancient Cavern. All of the above dragons drop Dragon bones, ideal for Prayer experience; the baby dragons drop baby dragon bones, suitable for Players who cannot afford regular Dragon bones.
Aside from conventional dragons there is also the King Black Dragon, or KBD for short. The King Black Dragon was the original "boss-monster" of RuneScape and remains today a popular target for groups of players due to his valuable and rare drops.
Before you begin fighting dragons around RuneScape you will need to know basic methods to protect yourself from all dragons' dangerous fire breath. Firstly, you must always be wielding an Anti-Dragonfire shield (unless you are ranging or maging the dragons, but even then it's highly recommended to use one). Anti-Dragonfire shields can be obtained from Duke Horacio in Lumbridge.
Dragonhides can be obtained by killing dragons, and can be crafted into dragonhide armour. Dragonhide armour offers excellent protection for rangers and all dragonhides have a great Magic resistance, although with limited melee protection bonuses.
|Dragonhide Type
|Obtained From
|Green Dragonhide
|Green Dragon, Brutal Green Dragon
|Blue Dragonhide
|Blue Dragon
|Red Dragonhide
|Red Dragon
|Black Dragonhide
|Black Dragon, King Black Dragon
After you have managed to get the dragonhides, you must see a tanner. Tanners can be found in Al Kharid, the Crafting Guild, the Rangers' Guild, and Canifis. You should also bring along some money, a needle and thread, which can be bought from the crafting stores in Al Kharid and Rimmington (close to the Crafting Guild).
- Anti-Dragonfire shields are used to lessen the damage dealt by Dragons' fire breath attacks.
- Anti-Fire Potions stop the Dragon's Fire Attack from doing any damage for a limited amount of time.
- Dragon bones give 72 Prayer experience.
- Unlike fully grown dragons Baby Blue, Red, and Black dragons all drop Baby dragon bones that offer 30 Prayer experience. Baby dragons do not drop dragonhides either.
- For more information on Prayer Experience check out the Prayer Guide.
For Dragons 'Slash' and 'stab' attacks are the most effective melee combat style to use against them. Since the Dragon longsword is capable of both styles it is ideal for dragon slaying. For your own convenience this guide will list the most-used weapons, along with their advantages and disadvantages.
Definitely not a good choice to use against Dragons. If you are using an battle axe, the best fighting style would be 'crush' although it isn't very effective against dragons. It does have a high Slash stat, but even then it is too slow to really be of any use against dragons. Weapons like the battle axe are more suited against armoured foes. It is quite accurate however and the dragon battle axe does pack a nasty punch, especially against metal dragons.
Special attack: The Battle axe's special attack will temporary boost your strength, but lower your attack, defence, ranged and Magic levels. If you use this special attack and are of a lower level it may be helpful to have a stat restore potion with you to compensate the loss in attack and defence. The special attack takes up 100% of your Special attack bar meaning it takes some time to recharge, using a strength potion might be better.
With its high Stab and Slash stats the dragon longsword is very accurate and especially powerful against dragons. The damage of the sword is lower than that of a Dragon battle axe, but its speed surpasses the battle axe by a long shot. Players must have completed Lost City quest to use this weapon.
Special attack: This special attack is actually very useful. When used your character will strike the enemy with increased power and accuracy. This attack can be used 4 times until your special attack bar is completely drained, so if you're lucky and don't miss too often, using it you can deal a lot of damage in a short period.
Probably the most important thing about the Dragon dagger is the fact that it can be poisoned. Not only does the weapon have a fast speed in combat but it offers moderate slash and stab bonuses as well, so when poisoned it can deal a lot of damage quickly to dragons. Players must have completed Lost City quest to use this weapon.
Despite the dagger's positives, the best strategy with this weapon is to wield it briefly to strike and poison your opponent (using the special usually), then switch back to another weapon. This means that you can deal superior damage with another weapon, but still accelerate the dragon's death by poisoning it quickly with the dagger. Remember though that to poison an opponent you must deal at least 10 damage to their life points.
Special Attack: As with the dragon long sword's special attack, the dragon dagger special hits with increased power and accuracy. As well as this the special hits twice in the same turn of combat, and possibly three times if poison is effective on the opponent. As with the sword though, there is no guarantee that you will always hit.
Perhaps the most helpful virtue of the Dragon mace is the Prayer bonus you receive. Using this weapon means you can conserve Prayer points a while longer, just as with Monk Robes and Holy Symbols. To equip the mace players must have completed Heroes Quest. Its speed is comparable to that of a Longsword, but the damage you can deal with this weapon lies lower. It can be used against dragons but just as with the dragon battle axe it has a high crush stat and little stab and slash bonuses to offer. It is recommended to use the mace against armoured foes instead, however the crush bonus is helpful against metal dragons none the less.
Special attack: The dragon mace special attack causes you to hit with much more strength than usual, although accuracy is only marginally improved. You can hit extremely high numbers with this special attack if used correctly! That means using a super strength potion, ultimate strength Prayer and any other ways you might find to temporary raise your strength along with the attack can hit high indeed. Even when you don't have a high strength level and don't use a Super Strength potion it is still a very useful move, like the dragon dagger it is most effective when used as a special attack move between using a more suitable weapon.
The Dragon Scimitar is another great weapon for slaying dragons that ranks up with the Dragon Longsword. It has increased accuracy, which helps you deal more consistent damage, though unfortunately you need to have completed the Monkey Madness quest to be able to wield it. As you may be able to pick from its shape the Dragon Scimitar is best suited to Slash attacks.
Special attack: Unlike the Dragon longsword the Dragon scimitar's special increases only the accuracy of your attack, rather than the power. It also uses 55% of your special power meaning you need to wait after only using it once. All-in-all, the Dragon Scimitar's special attack against dragons is (excuse the pun) nothing special.
The Abbysal is one of the most powerful weapons in Runescape and certainly the fastest. As well as packing a mighty punch, it also strikes faster than a longsword, dagger or scimitar. Because of this, the weapon is widely used and can speed up the process of Dragon slaying. Downsides to this weapon are that it is fairly expensive for most players. It also has a weak special attack and does not train Strength well (as it is 'controlled'), but if you are training for money purposes, an Abyssal whip is the ideal weapon.
Special Attack: The abyssal whip's special attack steals opponents energy, striking once in a twirl of red. This is not needed for Dragon slaying, and your valuable attack bar could be used for a double dragon dagger strike, or hit from a dragon mace instead. The attack uses half of the bar per use as well.
Ranged is a very useful against dragons. The main reason being that you are firing from a distance away from the Dragon where it cannot attack you, and therefore you don't lose any life points, which saves time and money collecting food as well. Ranged attacks are most useful against Blue and Red Dragons because there are more safespots in their respawn areas. Ranged attacks against Green Dragons are also effective, however Green Dragons are only found in the Wilderness and underneath it within the chaos tunnels, and therefore taking arrows can be risky. The Crystal Bow is very effective against killing all types of Dragons, but can be quite costly. Gathering arrows in Blue dragon areas is still fairly dangerous as their firebreath in particular can be fatal without the correct protection.
The Magic shortbow is the recommended bow. It is fairly cheap, but has a very high Ranged Bonus and fires quickly. It's best used in conjunction with Steel+ arrows when fighting Dragons. The shortbow is faster than the longbow as well.
Special Attack: Similar to the dragon dagger special attack in effect, the shortbow fires two arrows in rapid succession meaning damage can be dealt quickly.
Magic is very effective against Dragons due to their low Magic defence. The recommended spells are: Fire Bolt, Fire Blast and Slayer Dart. Magic is also effective for the same reasons as Ranged; you don't take any damage if you are in a safespot.
However, do not use Magic against a King Black Dragon. It is completely useless, and will just waste your money. Also Magic is less effective versus Brutal green and Mithril Dragons.
As would be expected, for a new player it takes some courage to attack a dragon for the first time. An unprepared player is no match for a dragon so you should stock up on food, armour and other helpful items (depending on your combat style) before going heading to a dragon's location.
Food is without a doubt the one thing that will give you the true advantage over a dragon. The ability to heal yourself by eating food at a fast rate will often be what keeps you alive. Of course not all food is suitable, apple pies may be delicious but there are higher healing foods out there that are more useful.
- Lobsters: Probably the most used food, they can be fished in Karamja, Catherby or the Fishing Guild notably. Lobsters heal 120hp and therefore may not last that long, but they are fast and easy to fish in return.
- Karambwan: These can be fished or bought from Lubufu upon the completion of the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest. They heal 180hp when cooked and are a good alternative for swordfish.
- Monkfish: These can be fished after the completion of the Swan Song quest at the Piscatoris Fishing Colony. They heal 160HP each and are fairly easy to fish.
- Swordfish: The best food available on F2P and ideal for players attempting to defeat Elvarg. However they are quite slow to fish and you burn them a lot unless you have a high Cooking level. Swordfish heal 140hp.
- Sharks: Sharks are hard to catch, and require a high Fishing level of 76, and level 80 Cooking to cook. In return though they are able to heal 200HP each. These huge fish are often used when fighting the stronger dragons, such as the Black Dragons, Metal dragons, and the King Black Dragon.
- Anchovie/Pineapple Pizzas: These take a long time to prepare, and they must be eaten in two pieces, thus you will have to skip two combat rounds rather than one. These are not recommended unless you are using safespots and need something to use sparingly to recover minor damage.
- Ughtanki kebabs: They require some time to prepare, but it's worth it as they heal 190Hp each. You have to kill Ughtanki Camels in the desert south of Al Kharid, cook their meat, and get the other various ingredients to ultimately get a kebab.
- Tuna & Sweetcorn potatoes: These heal 220Hp each, but take a very long time to prepare.
As said, the Anti-Dragonfire shield is nearly always required against dragons. The shield is received during Dragon Slayer quest, in which you will receive it from the Duke of Lumbridge. Don't worry - even if you have lost it, you can get an unlimited amount of shields back from the Duke! A good trick to stock up on them is to drop the shield, and talk to him again, to get another shield. Repeat the process till you get the desired amount you require.
Level 75 Defence is required to equip the shield. Combining the Anti-Dragonfire Shield and a draconic visage will result the dragonfire shield. It can hold up to 50 charges of dragonfire and every charge adds +1 to stab, slash, crush and Ranged defence. The shield has its own special attack, which releases dragonfire but has to cool down afterwards. Combining the anti-dragon shield and a draconic visage requires 90 Smithing and will give you 2000 Smithing experience. You need a hammer and an anvil to add them together.
You can also pay Oziach 1,250,000GP to attach them. To charge the shield, you must be attacked by 50 dragon fire's from a dragon or skeletal wyvern. Any dragon that breathes fire or ice is able to charge your shield. Only one charged dragonfire shield can be in your bank, whether they have the same or different charges.
These potions are commonly used when fighting Bronze, Iron, Steel and Mithril Dragons. You will have to make these potions in order to prevent the Dragon's breath from hurting you. If you have Protect from Melee enabled, are wielding an Anti-Dragonfire shield and have drunk a dose of this potion, you can kill the dragon without any problems, and even without losing a single life point yourself. The anti fire-breath potions do protect against the King black dragon.
First of all, they are available to paying members only. This means that Free players can't get hold of them in any way, thus they will have accept the additional damage they may receive from a dragon's breath. To create a anti-fire potion you must obtain Lantadyme, put the herb in a water-filled potion, and then use a ground Blue Dragon Scale with the mixture (69 Herblore required). These can be acquired from the Blue Dragons' nest, located in the Members' Dungeon nearby Taverley. For more information on how to make this potion, visit the Zybez Herblore Guide.
Players who have completed Barbarian Training can also take 2-dose anti fire-breath potions and add them to caviare provided they have level-75 Herblore. The Antifire mix potion created can protect players for more or less time than normal potion but also each dose also heals 30-60 life points. Players may decide to use these instead to save inventory space.
This isn't necessarily required to kill the Dragons but it is very helpful. Prayer is useful for extending how long players can stay at spawn locations of dragons, and speeding up the rate of kills. However your Prayer will drain soon if you keep using Protect from Melee. The expensive solution to loss in Prayer points are prayer restore potion. These potions can be made by mixing Ranarr weed with some Snape Grass (38 herblore required) in a water filled vial. You should have about 50 Prayer Potions before you start a full dragon killing spree.
Armour is perhaps the most flexible requirement against dragons. Players must all of course bring what they can afford, and more so what they are not afraid to lose in some situations. Adamant and Rune armour is sufficient for Green and Blue dragons in many cases, but rising through the difficulty of dragons better melee, Ranged, and Magic armour should be used. Good armour is crucial when fighting Metal dragons and Brutal green dragons. Dragonhide is often preferred by melee users as well as rangers against the King Black Dragon as it is lighter to wear whilst travelling through the wilderness and it supplies ample protection against the dragon's attacks as long as the wearer is in a good sized group.

Elvarg is the Dragon that must be defeated in order for you to complete the Dragon Slayer Quest. Although her combat level isn't too high, she has 1200 life points and can hit up to 400 damage when she uses her fire breath attack. Lobsters are the recommended food and you should take some combat potions as well.Elvarg
The King Black Dragon is one of RuneScape's fiercest foes, at a whopping level 276. His three heads prove to be extremely tough to defeat, and the dragon's desolate location doesn't make it any easier, what with the possibility of revenants, and distance from banks. It is suggested that no one under level 100 attempt to challenge the KBD alone. A group of at the very least 6 skilled players, usually above level 80 minimum is advised.King Black Dragon
Defeating the KBD (King Black Dragon) by yourself is a taxing task. It can take a number of trips to the bank to restock supplies until you are able to continue fighting it.
Helmet: It is suggested that you bring a Neitiznot Helmet, Mystic Helmet, or any other hat which gives Magic defence bonus. Since you are going into the wilderness you may only want to use Mystic to not risk losing valuable armour.
Cape: A Legends cape, Obsidian cape, or a Skill cape would work fine. If you feel you are advanced enough, a fire cape would work as well.
Amulet: The amulet can be substituted for any amulet which you feel will give you good attack/defence bonuses, yet let me remind you again; since you are going into the wilderness you may not want to risk valuable armour. Some amulets you could take are an Amulet of Glory, Amulet of Fury, or a God Stole.
Top: The top can be a Karil's Platebody (recommended), Mystic top, Dragonhide body or any top which you feel gives good Magic defence bonuses. If you feel you are advanced enough you could take Armadyl Platebody.
Weapon: The weapon can be a Abyssal whip (recommended), Dragon Scimitar, or any other Melee weapon which you feel like using. Remember, substituting for any 2H weapon is not recommended since it means you loose out on a shield! You might want to bring an Enchanted Excalibur, or a DDS along for their Special attacks.
Shield: An anti-dragon fire shield or a Dragonfire Shield is a MUST! Without this you will get hit for 400+ damage and will die quickly.
Bottom: The bottom can be Karil's Plateskirt, a Mystic bottom, Dragonhide chaps or any other bottom which you feel gives good Magic defence bonuses. If you are advanced you can bring Armadyl Platelegs.
Gloves: The gloves can be Barrows gloves, or any gloves which you feel gives good Magic defence bonuses and/or Melee attack bonuses.
Boots: The boots can be Dragon Boots, Rune boots, Climbing Boots, or any boots which you feel gives good Magic defence bonuses. Those boots are wizard boots.
Ring: The ring can be a ring of life, for their different special effects. Also note that rings of recoil do not function on the KBD. If you are advanced you can bring a Berserker Ring, or a Warriors Ring.
Note: Ahrims and Karil's are useful as they both provide high Magic attack and defence bonuses
There is nothing you can really change here, except for the amount of Prayer restore and Anti-fire potions you take.
The prayer restore potions are there for obvious reasons: to keep your Prayer points above 0 and keep your prayers active. The Super antipoisons are in case you get poisoned due to the poisonous spiders or the KBD's Magic attacks. One Dose of a Super Antipoison lasts quite a long time so you don't really need to worry about more than two potions. The Super attack and strength potions are so you hit the KBD harder and faster, rather than needing to teleport out before you kill it.
You can bring a teleport tablet, ectophial or any other teleport you want. You could bring a weapon such as a mace, dragon dagger(p++), dragon halberd or any other weapon which has a good strong special you could use at the start.
One thing you could use providing you have 100+ Combat and 50+ Slayer is go to the shilo village master and do tasks until you get black dragons; you can bring along a black mask and it will increase your attack and strength by 15% while fighting the dragon, also if it is fully charged it may lower the dragons defence by 15%. King Black Dragons do count as an alternative for a Black Dragon task.
Once you reach the entrance to the KBD's lair, stand outside the gate and use your potions. Take one dose of the: Super attack, Super strength, Super antipoison and antifire potions. Once you've drunk a dose of each, enable protect from melee, open the door and climb down the ladder. Quickly go and pull the lever, then run and attack the KBD. Use your weapon's special attack (if it has one) and then switch to your normal weapon and hit away. You may get hit a bit, but never freak out. Stay calm and you can react faster than if you're freaking out and don't know what to do. Always use Protect from Melee while with the KBD, as it hits a LOT harder with Melee than Magic. Heal when your health gets low and always watch your Prayer. There is no real strategy on where to stand, just hit him. Don't run away unless you have no Prayer and are about to die. Sometimes it takes two trips, but most of the time it only takes one trip.
You can also use Ranged against the KBD, take your anti-dragonfire shield, a ranged potion, and a high level crossbow with bolts (enchanted ruby bolts and higher are ideal), as well as the normal equipment. Whilst ranging stand a few steps away from KBD and put on protect from magic. With level 80 Ranged players can be capable of slaying the dragon twice in each trip.
You will most probably only be able to make one trip (kill him once) and then you will have to teleport out. That is alright, just go back and kill it again. Pick up the drops (it drops a Black dragonhide and Dragon bones 100% of the time), and then teleport out.
Here it gets a little bit easier. The more players you have on your team, the lower combat level you need to kill it. With 2-4 people it's suggested around 90 combat, 5+ people you could be anywhere from 80 combat and above, or lower.
There is no real change between the equipment you take if you solo the KBD or if you team it, you just don't necessarily have to bring equipment that is as expensive because you won't take as much damage. Your best dragonhide or mystic armour is great as it won't matter if you die and you can still kill it relatively easy. In large groups rune armour will suffice.
Again, the inventory doesn't have to change whether you're teaming or solo'ing the KBD. The main changes you could have would be more Super attack/strength potions, less Sharks, more Prayer restore potions and a weapon, for its special attack. Note that you will probably be killing it more than once in a trip depending on your team's combat levels, so make the changes you feel are necessary. In very large groups within clans trips can reach hundreds of kills.
Do the same start as you would solo'ing the KBD. Once you reach the entrance to the lair, stand outside the gate and pot up. Take one dose of the: Super Attack, Super Strength, Super Antipoison and Antifire. After you've finished potting up, chuck on Protect from Melee, open the door and climb down the ladder. Quickly go and pull the lever, and run and attack the KBD. Use your weapons special (if you have one) and then switch to your normal weapon and hit away. The difference here is you and your team should split up and surround it from different sides. This way, it spends more time spinning around.
Same goes if you were solo'ing the KBD; heal when needed, take a dose of your prayer restore potion when needed, and do this until you kill it. Once dead, pick up the loot, run about 10-15 squares away from the respawn area and turn off your Prayer. Remain focused at all times as you can still easily die next time. As soon as the KBD spawns, turn on protect from melee, run to it and attack it. If you need to drink more of your potions, do it while attacking him rather than just as it respawns because you may get hit. Again, separate your group so it spends more time spinning around. This guide must stress this: do not think that because you're owning it, you can just relax. Remain on CONSTANT alert and watch your Prayer points and your Hit points. If you do this and heal/pot when necessary you should be fine. Pick up the drops and teleport out when you're all out of Potions and food. A tip would be to share food in case someone is getting attacked a lot and is low while you're very high.
There are several ways that you can make a great deal of money by slaying these dragons, but there are mainly only two dragon types that are really popular to make money from. Many high level dragons are capable of dropping valuably rare items, however as a money making system this can be unreliable.
There are several locations in the Wilderness where Green Dragons are found.
Getting there takes an average of 1 minute, banking, and teleporting included. So you don't have to mind that much about revenant. You can fight them and if you die to them you can just teleport back here with some food in inventory to survive to an attack (don't forget an anti-dragonfire shield) and grabbing your items under the gravestone. And normally, players are nice enough and just repair or bless your grave so no problem of time getting your items back. If you can't fight back the revenant, or don't want to die for any reasons, just walk west and get into clans wars. Your teleblock will be out since the clan wars is non wildy and then you can teleport to the Wilderness Volcano. This is probably the most effective and fastest way possible.
The 'East Dragons' are located north of Varrock. There are 8 dragon respawn spot.
Quests required:
There is no quest required to get here
Items required:
Game necklace (8):802 GP each, having 10 or more in bank would be enough for a while.
Cooked monkfish: 306 GP each, having 200 or more in bank would be enough for a while.
This is probably the fastest way back and forth.
For these Dragons it's recommended that you melee them. When you go to fight them bring the item's listed above in the "Inventory Set-up" section of this guide. It's also recommended you bring a form of teleportation because there can be revenants lurking there.
If you have a higher Magic level, you may also have easy access to the Green Dragons, north-west of the Graveyard (Located at ~23 Wilderness). Here you may use Ancient Magicks (Level 84, Carrallangar Teleport) to teleport yourself to Level 20 wilderness. From there, walk just a little north-west, and you have reached another accessable Dragon Slaying area.
Killing them is quite simple. All you have to really do it drink your potions and then kill them. It's recommended that you only pick up their Bones and Hides and leave the other items dropped unless they are worth more than 2,000gp. When you have a full inventory; teleport to Edgeville by using your Amulet of Glory. Bank and repeat. If you kill the Dragon's effectively you can make upwards of 100,000 GP an hour. The hides can be sold for around 1,600gp each and the Bones for about 2,000gp each.
Blue Dragons are found in various locations around the map. To kill them you can use any of the Melee, Ranged or Mage combat styles. A very effective weapon to use is a Halberd, which allows you to Melee attack Dragons from a distance without getting hurt. The best locations for killing Blue Dragons are the Heroes' Guild and the Gu'Tanoth dungeon, which is south of Yanille (requires completion of Watchtower quest).
If you are planning to Range them it's recommended you have 70+ Ranged and use Steel+ Arrows. If you are a Mage then Fire Bolts and/or Blasts are very effective. To kill them efficiently you need to have about 80+ Combat if you are going to Melee them. And 70+ Combat if you plan to Halberd them. Killing Blue Dragons can make you about 140,000 GP an hour if you are very efficient. Their hides sell for around 1,900gp each and their Bones for around 2,000gp each. Blue Dragons are more efficient for Money Making than Greens if you are a lower level because they are not located in the Wilderness and you can use the three different Attack Styles.
Metal Dragons are not for the feint of heart. They have high defence and constitution, and can hit extremely hard. They drop Dragon Platelegs, Dragon Plateskirts, and the Draconic Visage. A detailed guide to defeating this foe can be found here, in the Brimhaven Dungeon guide.
A: Dragons can hit up to 500 damage with their Fire Attacks if you don't have an Anti-Dragonfire Shield, Dragonfire shield, or anti-fire potion (potion works for 6 minutes).
A: They are able to do so, but it is not 100%. They can hit very high if you don't use the shield, but a 1-hit is not automatic. Still, it's a possibility, so be careful especially if you are a lower level player.
A: Low - Probably best if you start fighting baby blue dragons with good armour, good food and teleport runes.
Medium - Baby blue dragons are going to become less of a challenge to you, so you could start with the blue dragons, bring your trusty antifire shield, good food, weapons and teleport runes.
High - You could pretty much battle most of the dragons. Black dragons could be entertaining, if you bring your anti-dragonfire shield and food then you can have a go at them.

As the Hurricanes get ready to extend their current two-game winning streak, their first in over a month, they'll have to do so with a few changes to their lineup.
Both defenseman David Tanabe and forward Chad LaRose sustained concussions in the Toronto game and will be out indefinitely. Both failed tests before Wednesday morning's practice and will not make the upcoming road trip through Florida and Tampa Bay, which begins Thursday night.
Also, winger Craig Adams has been suspended two games by the NHL for his high stick on Toronto's Alexander Steen with just under four minutes to go in the third period. Adams said he didn't do it intentionally, but the league deemed extra discipline was necessary due to reckless use of the stick.
While those three will all be out of the lineup, there should be good news coming that will help balance out some of the bad. With an AHL call-up seemingly not in the plans before Thursday, that means that the three players who missed the Toronto game, Rod Brind'Amour, Mike Commodore and Andrew Ladd, could all return in time to face the Panthers.
Brind'Amour will make the trip to Florida and is hopeful to play despite remaining in quarantine during Wednesday's practice. Ladd has skated the last few days after also going through a nasty bout of the flu that he picked up on his conditioning stint with Albany, while Commodore continues to get closer to recovering from the broken finger that has kept him out of the lineup for the last 12 games.
No matter who plays, the Hurricanes hope that their recent trend of winning games in dramatic fashion helps build the momentum that will allow them to pick up some valuable points against their Southeast Division opponents.
"We know how big it is," said Glen Wesley of Thursday's game against the Panthers. "They're probably playing the best that they've played all season long, and we know how big of a game it is and the magnitude of it. We're going to have to be prepared down there."
Indeed, the Panthers have climbed in the standings lately after winning three of their last four games, all on the road, and eight of their last 13 overall. They are now in second place in the Southeast and just five points behind the Hurricanes – a lead that could either grow or shrink considerably, depending on the outcome of Thursday's game.
The game will already be the fifth of eight total meetings between the teams this season, with the Hurricanes holding a 3-1-0 edge in the season series thus far. Combined with last year's dominance by Carolina in their head-to-head match-ups, the Hurricanes hold a 10-2-0 record in the last 12 meetings overall.
"We've had our success against them, but they've played fairly well and especially recently they've won a few games in a row," said coach Peter Laviolette. "I think with that they can gain confidence. They're always a good challenge for us. They always compete and there seems to be a little bit of animosity between the two teams that brings out the best in each other."
Laviolette rarely discloses his goaltending choices prior to game time, but John Grahame has recently been making the case for more playing time. The veteran backup has been in goal for both of Carolina's recent wins, while usual starter Cam Ward was in the net for the three losses before that.
Grahame stopped 36 shots in the win over Toronto, including several key saves that kept Carolina in the game before they started their comeback by scoring twice in the final 1:25 of regulation.
"I think he played really sharp last night," said Laviolette of Grahame. "His biggest save came when it was 2-0 and we had to kill the power play with four minutes to go in the game. If he doesn't make that save, it's 3-0 and the game is over. That was a very critical point in the game for him to keep us alive at that point."
"A goaltender's job is just to hold the team in it until they're able to get some goals," said Grahame. "It took us a little bit longer than maybe we would have liked last night, but all in all it was a great team effort by the guys and they were able to fight right until the end, get those two goals in the end and win it in overtime. It was a big win for us."

Jimmy Fallon Has a New Show and a New Health Regimen
What causes stage fright?
Surprised to learn that a pro like Fallon, who has faced hundreds of live audiences (and a few hecklers) during the course of his career, still fights off stage fright? Don't be. "Almost everyone feels anxious before speaking in public," says Paul L. Witt, PhD, associate professor in department of communications studies at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. "In fact, many Americans cite it as their No. 1 fear. But for some of us, research shows this type of anxiety trait is actually hard-wired."
Witt's ongoing studies suggest that people are born along a spectrum of anxiety, with "sensitizers" innately possessing high-trait anxiety and "habituators" possessing little or none. Most of us fall somewhere in between.
"If Fallon is nervous before every performance but loosens up as he continues," Witt says, "I'd say he was born with the anxiety trait but habituates to his surroundings. In other words, he's taught himself to adapt, to relax into the stress of performing, but he'll always face this challenge. Some folks find it impossible to adapt -- and maybe they shouldn't become politicians, teachers, or comedians. But most of us can learn methods that help us to cope and succeed."
Caroline Hirsch, owner of the legendary Caroline's Comedy Club in New York City, where Fallon "cut his teeth before he hit it big," says, "Most comedians get that rush of adrenaline before going on stage -- it's part of the process. Jimmy did a lot of TV and movies [before taking the Late Night job], which could explain his nerves now. If you're doing concerts and personal appearances before live audiences all the time -- well, the more you do, the easier it gets.
"He was on the road a lot earlier this year, and it's paid off," she adds. "He's so charming, endearing, and at ease on his show."
Dealing with stage fright
Whether you're a stand-up comedian or simply standing up to address a crowd of your peers, speaking in public can send a shiver down your spine -- and make your hands shake, voice crack, heart race, or body break into a cold sweat. The good news? There are methods you can learn to lessen these symptoms or even stop them altogether.

- Top 10 concerts 2013: Timberlake, Jay Z, My Bloody Valentine and more
The single-song digital download hasn't killed the full-length album yet.
Sure, the notion of the traditional "record album" is gravely wounded. Yet with a little patience and persistence, listeners can still find plenty of platters that matter from start to finish. I found quite a few this year, even though it was a strange year in music. Many of the most heavily hyped records, from such artists as Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekend, weren't all that good. In addition, it definitely wasn't as strong a year for hip-hop as 2012, although many of the genre's biggest artists (Jay Z, Kanye West, Eminem, Lil Wayne, etc.) delivered new albums.
The newcomers picked up the slack, with several debuts ranking among the year's best albums. Here are my Top 10.
1. "Pure Heroine," Lorde (Universal): You've probably heard the smash "Royals," which was the best single of the year, but hopefully you won't stop there. Let that tune lead you into the New Zealand singer-songwriter's full-length debut, and you'll find nine other cuts that also are quite mesmerizing. Lorde makes music that is equally artsy and catchy, distancing herself from most of her contemporaries on the pop charts and drawing comparisons to such all-time greats as Björk and Tori Amos. "Pure Heroine" is such a shockingly mature and fully realized artistic statement that it's amazing to think its author just turned 17 last month.
2. "The Bones of What You Believe," Chvrches (Virgin): It's the best synth-pop album in years, filled with enough anthems to ensure that Chvrches is a dance-club favorite for years to come. At last count, this Scottish trio's debut had produced three solid singles ("The Mother We Share", "Recover" and "Gun"), but that could represent the tip of the iceberg. The grooves are retro, recalling Erasure, Giorgio Moroder-era Donna Summer, the "Rapture" of Blondie and Yaz, and the lyrics absolutely sparkle.
3, "m b v," My Bloody Valentine (m b v): It's not the second coming of "Loveless." That's a shame, in a way, since that 1991 outing stands as one of the greatest rock records of all time. It took My Bloody Valentine 22 years to finally deliver a follow-up to "Loveless," resulting in a work that takes the band in fascinating new directions. The "wall of sound" is still there, but it's built less on jet-engine guitars and more on nuance. Yet it's still captivating, standing as a record that will give the listener more with each spin.
4. "Born Sinner," J. Cole (Roc Nation/Columbia): I guess one way to avoid the sophomore slump is to deliver the best hip-hop album of the year. That's what Cole has done with "Born Sinner," which is even better than the rapper's fine debut, 2011's "Cole World: The Sideline Story." It is bursting with big singles -- none better than the smash "Power Trip" -- yet it also works as a cohesive statement. The album also firmly establishes Cole as one of the most powerful MCs in rap.
5. "Push the Sky Away," Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (Bad Seed): The album is cinematic in scope, pulsing with drama and full of dreamy imagery that alternately shocks and seduces. Cave has crafted some of the finest songs of his career -- the most spectacular of which is "Wide Lovely Eyes" -- and, overall, delivered his best album since 1996's "Murder Ballads."
6. "Oh, Mayhem!" Bettie Serveert (Palomine): This Dutch indie-rock group was a "buzz" band in the early '90s, yet it's been tragically overlooked (at least in the U.S.) for more than a decade. "Oh, Mayhem!" illustrates that the group still has game. The record is Bettie Serveert's hardest-rocking affair in ages, filled with wonderfully jagged guitar work by unsung hero Peter Visser and powerful vocals from Carol van Dyk.
7. "Stay Trippy," Juicy J (Taylor Gang): Patience has finally paid off for "The Juice Man," who delivered his full-length debut in 2002. The incredibly fun "Stay Trippy" has catapulted him toward the top of the hip-hop heap, thanks to such jams as "Show Out," "Bounce It" and, best of all, "Bandz a Make Her Dance."
8. "Change Becomes Us," Wire (Pink Flag): The album title couldn't be more appropriate. This alt/art/punk/electronic band seems to change its persona with each new record, which is one of the reasons why Wire has been worth paying attention to since the mid-1970s. This time around, the London act scores big with an atmospheric, experimental mix of post-punk and hard rock.
9. "No Poison No Paradise," Black Milk (Computer Ugly): It's another wild ride with the Detroit rapper, filled with cutting-edge beats and crafty rhymes. It's experimental, yet never to the detriment of the songs. It's an album I wish Kanye West had heard before making "Yeezus."
10. "Electric," Richard Thompson (New West): Listen to this album and you'll absolutely understand why Thompson is considered one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

When the Blackhawks took the ice in Los Angeles on Jan. 19, the goal was merely to spoil the Kings' Stanley Cup banner-raising ceremony. Chicago won decisively, 5-2... and then they kept winning. Their six straight victories to begin the campaign set a franchise record, and it wasn't until Jan. 30 that the team dropped their first point in a shootout loss at Minnesota. Whispers about the NHL record started once the Blackhawks crossed the 10, 11, 12-game mark without a regulation loss, and history was made on Feb. 15 when Chicago claimed a 2-1 victory against San Jose for their 17th consecutive game with a point gained in the standings.
And still that was not enough. The team finished a seven-game homestand earning 13 of 14 possible points, then kept going strong—20, 21, 22. Another record approached on the horizon: the team's mark of nine straight wins, set in December 2008, with many of the same core players that were driving this current streak. That one fell on March 5 with an emphatic 5-3 victory over the Wild at home.
There were miracles along the way: Ray Emery's career-high 47 saves on Feb. 2 at Calgary was as fine an example of a goaltender win as one might ever find. There were last-minute heroics: Marian Hossa's goal in that same game with just 3 seconds left; Patrick Kane's equalizer on March 3 in Detroit, followed by another jaw-dropping shootout maneuver to secure the second point; and Daniel Carcillo's last-minute game-winner in game no. 24, followed by a joyous celebration in front of an ecstatic home crowd. Oh, and there were shutouts—three of them, in fact, befitting a goalie tandem that was the best in the league over the course of the streak.
In the infograph below, we looked at the numbers and stats that defined the Blackhawks' amazing run and celebrated the workhorses and the difference-makers that helped make history.

About the Book
Andrew Shaffer's Literary Rogues is an unflinching look at the bad behavior of some of our most beloved authors, from Oscar Wilde and Edgar Allan Poe, to Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald, to Hunter S. Thompson and Bret Easton Ellis.
Literary Rogues is a wildly funny and illuminating history and analysis of the bad boys and girls of lit, from the author of Great Philosophers Who Failed at Love
Part nostalgia, part serious history of Western literary movements, Literary Rogues: A Scandalous History of Wayward Authors is a raucous celebration of oft-vilified writers and their work, brimming with interviews, research, and personality.
A Wildly Funny and Shockingly True Compendium of the Bad Boys (and Girls) of Western Literature
Rock stars, rappers, and actors haven't always had a monopoly on misbehaving. There was a time when authors fought with both words and fists, a time when poets were the ones living fast and dying young. This witty, insightful, and wildly entertaining narrative profiles the literary greats who wrote generation-defining classics such as The Great Gatsby and On the Road while living and loving like hedonistic rock icons, who were as likely to go on epic benders as they were to hit the bestseller lists. Literary Rogues turns back the clock to consider these historical (and, in some cases, living) legends, including Edgar Allan Poe, Oscar Wilde, Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, Hunter S. Thompson, and Bret Easton Ellis. Brimming with fasci- nating research, Literary Rogues is part nostalgia, part literary analysis, and a wholly raucous celebration of brilliant writers and their occasionally troubled legacies.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"This scandalous retelling is an entertaining yet bittersweet memorial to romantic self-destruction." — NY1
"In this rollicking romp through a gallery of writers whose genius came with a price (alcoholism, drug addiction, depression, and other troubles), Shaffer offers a terrific blend of literary history, biography, and witty commentary." — Publishers Weekly
"Entertaining and well-researched." — Kirkus Reviews
"'Great Philosophers Who Failed at Love' extends the schadenfreude to the boudoir." — New York Times Book Review
"If you're in dutch with your valentine, give him Andrew Shaffer's book, which recounts the tortured love lives of 37 thinkers. Compared to them, you'll look as saintly as St. Thomas himself—who, Shaffer tells us, once chased a prostitute out of his room with a hot poker." — Martha Stewart Whole Living
"Indispensable advice for all lovers—and especially for those who think they should learn about the art of love from philosophers. A wonderful summary of the musings on love by some of history's greatest and most idiosyncratic minds." — Clancy Martin, editor of Love, Lies, and Marriage
"Remarkable. . . . Literary Rogues is far from a how-to, but it is strangely reassuring." — NPR.org
"Brilliantly chronicles both the excesses and triumphs of some of the most talented and notorious of them all. . . . A relevant examination of the creative personality." — New York Journal of Books

After a week of signing up for a few months, Christian Mingle canceled my account and were accusing me of misconduct with 6 people, which is completely false.
I signed up for two months of service in advanced, and a week later, I get an email saying my account was permanently closed due to misconduct. I called customer service, and they said the account had three reports of sending messages that contained "vulgarity and name calling". No message I have ever sent on that website ever contained anything of that sort. I told them to show me proof or elaborate more, but they refused. I ask for a manager to contact me so the next day, manager Mickelle( think that was the name she gave) gave me a call. She then informed me that it was now six reports against me, and now it was not from online messages, it was complaints about me from incidents that occurred in person and over the phone. [continued below]....
She then refused to give me a refund for the two months I payed up front for, so I mentioned that I would do a pay pal reversal. After mentioning that, she told me to go ahead, and when it comes to them for review, they will tell paypal everything I did to these supposed six people and how I violated Christian Mingle's terms of service. To think that this company would be so hateful and give out my personal details to paypal is shocking and horrifying.
I am thinking someone down the line complaints about some other account got mixed into mine in thier system. That it somewhat understandable, but to treat a paying customer with so much disrespect, not provide any proof of these accusations(which changed each time I talk to someone there), and to flat out deny a refund while threatening to give personal details to paypal is so unprofessional and hurtful. They do provide a good service, and I would like to still be a member of the website. I would like an apology as well. If none of these can be given, that at least give me a refund. Thank you.

Latos faces Kershaw at Petco Park tonight
A mild case of the flu has set the stage for one of the one of the season's top pitching matchups.
Mat Latos, who was pushed back a day because he was ill on his scheduled start day Monday, will pair off against the Dodgers Clayton Kershaw Tuesday night at Petco Park (7:05 p.m.; TV: 4 San Diego).
Both Latos and Kershaw are 22 years old.
Latos will be trying to make major league history Tuesday night.
Latos has made 14 straight starts where he has allowed two or fewer runs while working five or more innings in each start. The run ties Greg Maddux (Aug. 11, 1993 to April 14, 1994) and Mike Scott (May 9-July 7, 1986) for the longest such streak in major league history. Florida's Josh Johnson made a 13-start run of two or fewer runs in each start earlier this season.
The Padres have won 14 of Latos' last 20 starts and the right-hander is 12-2 over the span with a 1.60 ERA since May 7.
Latos leads the major leagues in earned run average (2.25), opponents batting average (.193) and opponents on-base percentage (.252) and is in a virtual tie for the lowest opponents slugging percentage (.300).
Latos is 10-0 this season when he get three or more runs of support.
Kershaw, the seventh overall pick in the 2006 draft, will be making his 80th career start Tuesday night. Kershaw ranks sixth in the National League with a .221 opponents batting average. He is second in the league with 191 strikeouts.

This letterbox, placed in honor of an internationally acclaimed Institute for young musicians, is located in a small town on the edge of Texas Hill Country.
The original name of this town was Jones Post Office after the town's postmaster John Rice Jones Jr. who also happened to be the first postmaster general for the Republic of Texas.
With a population of less than 100 people, this town has a lot to offer: antique fairs, restored historical buildings, concerts and Shakespearean plays. It was voted one of the 100 Best Small Art Towns in America.
Just north of town, the Institute operates 200-acre campus featuring the oldest Texas-built organ and unique concert hall of acoustic beauty unrivaled in Texas. To find the letterbox, first locate this concert hall. Enjoy the beautiful gardens; explore the Old Chapel and the Memorial Plaza.
When you are ready to look for the letterbox go across the road from the concert hall and find the apricot colored Victorian house with a porch. The gardens surrounding the house are open to the public without charge. Guided tours are available at a modest charge.
Go to the Pharmacy Gardens planted behind this house. Look for the stone bridge on your left. Cross it and follow the trail. Turn left at the intersection. This path will take you to another bridge and the small ruin next to it. Dont cross this bridge. Face the ruin with a big tree on your left. The letterbox is in the crevice under the foundation slab. Dont forget to prod with a stick first. Please re-hide well.

Michael Jackson song played for jury in civil case
LOS ANGELES An attorney for Michael Jackson's mother has played a song during opening statements at a wrongful death trial that the lawyer says the superstar wrote for his children.
Attorney Brian Panish also read jurors a note on Monday that the singer wrote to his mother to demonstrate their relationship.
Katherine Jackson is suing concert giant AEG Live, claiming it failed to properly investigate a doctor who cared for Jackson and was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter in his 2009 death.
AEG has denied wrongdoing and its attorney is expected to address jurors later Monday.
Panish told jurors they would ultimately decide whether to find AEG liable for Jackson's death and how much his mother and children should receive.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Michael Jackson's family and friends knew he was addicted to prescription medications, but the only ones who refused to acknowledge it were the promoters of his ill-fated final series of comeback concerts, an attorney for the singer's mother told a jury on Monday.
Lawyer Brian Panish traced Jackson's addiction in opening statements during the trial of a wrongful death lawsuit against concert giant AEG Live, telling jurors the company ignored numerous warning signs about the singer's health in his final months.
The opening remarks included emails between AEG executives about Jackson's health. Panish also played a clip of the singer performing days before his death in June 2009.
"You're going to hear the whole story about what happened in the death of Michael Jackson," the attorney said.
Jackson's mother, brother Randy and sister Rebbie sat in the front row of the courtroom as Panish detailed aspects of Jackson's life. Jurors looked at numerous slides and several scribbled notes. A couple of jurors nodded their heads when the lawyer referenced Jackson's achievements, including successful concert tours and a Super Bowl performance.
Panish told the jury of six men and six women that it would ultimately have to decide whether Jackson's mother and his three children deserve compensation for AEG's conduct. Millions, possibly billions, of dollars are at stake, but Panish did not give a suggested damage figure in his opening remarks.
He did, however, praise Michael Jackson.
"His stirring voice, his musical genius, his creativity and his generosity and his huge heart was extinguished forever," he said.
An attorney for AEG was expected to begin addressing the panel later Monday.
Katherine Jackson sued the company in September 2010, claiming it failed to properly investigate physician Conrad Murray before allowing him to serve as Jackson's tour doctor as he prepared for his "This Is It" shows. She is also suing on behalf of her son's three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket.
AEG denies it hired Murray, and its attorneys have said they could not have foreseen the circumstances that led to Jackson's death at age 50.
A jury previously convicted Murray of involuntary manslaughter after prosecutors said he gave Jackson a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol in 2011. The hospital-grade anesthetic was being administered as a sleep aid.
Panish told jurors they would be putting together a puzzle, with Jackson, Murray and AEG Live as the three pieces.
He said Jackson suffered from addiction to prescription medications and Demerol at times during his life, and the problem increased when he was keeping up a rigorous schedule. Panish cited a 1984 accident that injured Jackson during a Pepsi commercial suit as causing the singer tremendous physical pain throughout his life.
"People who knew him believed he had a problem with prescription medication," Panish told jurors. He said the only group that claims they didn't know about Jackson's addiction issues were AEG and its executives.
The lawyer showed a brief clip of Jackson rehearing for the "This Is It" shows and a clip of the singer dancing in the early stages of his presentation. He also showed footage of 1999 show in Munich in which Jackson was performing when a bridge dropped 50 feet with the singer on it. Despite pain, Jackson continued performing, Panish said.
Panish said Jackson turned to Demerol to relieve his pain.
Panish also detailed Murray's money problems, including an impending foreclosure and other debts. AEG also had issues as well, the lawyer told jurors, saying the company was feeling intense pressure from concert promoter Live Nation.
He said AEG saw the Jackson shows as a way to make a lot of money and better compete with Live Nation. The company was so concerned with getting Jackson to perform, "They didn't care who got lost in the wash," Panish said
Emails between AEG executives will be some of the key evidence in the case, which may last 90 trial days.
Panish displayed a March 2009 email sent before a press conference featuring Jackson, in which AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips wrote to Tim Leiweke, the former CEO of AEG'S parent company, that Jackson was drunk and refusing to address fans.
"This is the scariest thing I have ever seen," Phillips wrote Leiweke. "He is an emotionally paralyzed mess riddled with self-loathing and doubt now that it's show time. He's scared to death."
Panish said Jackson's behavior was just one of several warning signs that the company ignored before the death.
Jackson's mother and his two oldest children, Prince and Paris, are listed as possible witnesses. An AEG attorney said Monday the company intends to call Murray as a witness.
Murray did not testify at his criminal trial.
Panish attempted to steer blame away from the singer and toward AEG.
"Michael paid the ultimate price. He died," Panish said. "Michael has taken responsibility."

New driver released tody, Nvidia 296.1 not holding my breath!!
Darkness is the lack of light. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge
It seems whatever they publish on drivers its never alright!
My gtx285 does not agree with most of them , as it quits to the desktop , or get boxed
I hope they make a special driver for farcry3 , ha ha ha
your right. Its fixed nothing. So I am now buying an
Asus ATI Radeon HD 6770 1GB PCI Express GDDR5 HDMI Gaming Graphics Card + Dirt 3 (whatever Dirt 3 is?)
To hell with Nvidia, I've had it.
Oh, yes, the seller, who I have dealt with before, tells me that I might have to upgrade to a 750w power pack (after just installing a 450w) because this will handle all new games with ease, but might struggle (slightly) on 450w.
Darkness is the lack of light. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge
45: noooooooooooooooooo! The previous card did work fine on 450w, fast and no problems but this one only just fits into the tower, and has its own power supply. So the seller recommended an upgrade to 750w for THIS card, which I will do shortly. I had to return my monitor 24 inch LCD HD HDMI because I found as small hole in the screen, awaiting replacement. So as yet unable to unlock the POWER of the UNIVERSE!!
On this monitor 19inch ACER flat screen, there is already a visible improvement in FC2 and so far no stutter at all, and NO SCREEN blackouts. I de-installed everything I could find that even mentioned Nvidia!
Darkness is the lack of light. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge
No offense meant elbmek, I was just making a tongue-in-cheek comment to LostGunner. Glad you to see you are getting your problems solved. My problem was simple and avoidable. Yours on the other hand... I can only imagine...VERY frustrating. But LostGunner has a point in general, the more power (supply) the better. One less variable in the mix when one is having problems. So.... next time listen to your Elder-Pirate!
And a good day to you too LostGunner.

elbmek you ole............Well, I'm trying to think of something to call you.................Forty5-Seventy help me out here.......but be kind...... Anyway elbmek I really hope that when you finally get that monster computer put together that when you fire it up we over on the other side of the big pond can see a Hugh cloud of pure energy.........dunno, maybe black smoke?........and then we will know that you have whipped the fool out of FC2. ( thumbs up )
Good grief look out FC3.
Behave yourselves, I gotta go.
Been running on 750w power and AMD Radeon HD 6700 on 1920 x 1080 res for a week now - NO PROBLEMS (up to now)

The market continued the winning streak for a third consecutive trading session, as the Nifty gained 71 points to close at 5088 on Wednesday. Total open interest (OI) went up by Rs 7,026 crore to Rs 1,01,932 crore. Nifty futures added 10% in OI, while stock futures added 1.7%.
Nifty March futures, which were at a premium of 6 points on Tuesday, had been trading at a discount to the spot Nifty since the beginning of the trade on Wednesday and finally closed with a 6-point discount. Now, put data along with a hefty 10% rise in Nifty futures OI and it is evident that a lot of short build-up has happened at higher levels on Wednesday. This, in turn, indicates that market participants have turned cautious at these levels.

Red Lobster Continues to Satisfy

ATMOSPHERE: We visited the Red Lobster in Lakeland on a recent weekday. It's cozy, with lots of soft-on-the-eyes wood on the walls and tables. Seating areas are tucked away from each other, which is good. There's a New England loft appearance to the place.
3706 U.S. 98 N. 863-815-0774, Lakeland; 230 Cypress Gardens Blvd., 863-294-8844, Winter Haven.
11 a.m to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
WHAT'S NEW: $3 drafts, $4 house wines and $5 appetizers on weekdays from 3 to 6 p.m. and 15 "mainstays" for less than $15.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: The people at Red Lobster say they "Sea Food Differently." But we "Sea Food the Same," meaning that Red Lobster's meals are still really good after all these years. That includes the scrumptious cheese biscuits served with every meal. Red Lobster opened its first restaurant in Lakeland in 1968. The highlight of our lunch — and there were no lowlights — was the artichoke lobster dip appetizer that includes three melted cheeses. My friend and I almost came to blows over that stuff. I ordered shrimp tacos, served cold and delicious, while my pal loved his "pick two" of fried scallops and shrimp. Both were breaded perfectly, so as to cover the seafood but not overpower it. Even the fries and slaw were something worth noting.
The service from server Laron was personable and efficient.
PRICES: The prices aren't cheap or expensive, maybe "moderate." Lunch entrees range from $7.50 to $10.25 and dinner from $9.75 to $35.50. That gets you 2 pounds of lobster.
Red Lobster gets 3 1/2 stars each for food, service and ambience.
