Blues to name Pietrangelo 21st captain in franchise history
Shortly after the Blues' PR department unveiled a "major announcement" scheduled for Thursday, the Post-Dispatch broke news that Alex Pietrangelo will become the team's new captain.
It's a big honor for the talented defenseman, who joins the likes of Wayne Gretzky, Brett Hull, Al MacInnis, Chris Pronger, Scott Stevens, Brian Sutter, Bernie Federko and Al Arbour as those that have captained the Blues.
Pietrangelo, 26, was taken fourth overall by St. Louis in 2008 and has spent his entire professional career within the organization.
A staple of the Team Canada blueline and a two-time NHL 2nd team All-Star, Pietrangelo inherits the captaincy from David Backes, who wore the "C" for five years before signing with Boston in free agency.
Pietrangelo had previously served as one of Backes' alternates — first earning his "A" in 2013 — along with forward Alex Steen, who's served as an alternate since 2011. It's logical to assume Steen will retain his role in the leadership group, but it will be interesting to see who gets the other alternate captaincy.
Poll: Is moving Larkin to center the right move?
This post is part of Detroit Red Wings day at PHT…
It wasn't that long ago — 2013, in fact — that Detroit had a wealth of options down the middle. Pavel Datsyuk, Valtteri Filppula and Henrik Zetterberg all played center with regularity.
Now, only the latter remains.
We bring this up because, earlier this summer, Detroit GM Ken Holland announced that prized rookie standout Dylan Larkin would be making the shift to center.
Larkin, who bucked tradition by making the Red Wings as a 19-year-old last year, enjoyed a banner freshman campaign, scoring 45 points in 80 games to finish fifth in Calder voting.
But a large chunk of that success came playing wing on a line centered by Zetterberg, who "took a lot of the responsibility off Dylan," according to Holland.
The for/against debate here is pretty straightforward.
Holland said the "long-term" plan is to have Larkin be a center in Detroit, so why not get that process underway now? That move, combined with the addition of Frans Nielsen, would allow Zetterberg to return to the wing (and potentially play alongside Nielsen.) The more options head coach Jeff Blashill has at his disposal, the more creative he can get at forward.
But would it be too much, too soon for Larkin?
There's already the looming specter of a sophomore slump, and it's important to remember he faded down the stretch last season, as the rigors of a full NHL campaign took their toll. He was largely shielded from faceoff duty (and still finished at just 41 percent), only turned 20 just over three weeks ago, and Blashill could go Zetterberg-Nielsen-Luke Glendening–Riley Sheahan down the middle quite easily.
As per usual, we now turn it over to you. Vote away:
Under Pressure: Ken Holland
This post is part of Detroit Red Wings day at PHT…
There's no denying Ken Holland's been feeling the heat in Detroit for a while now.
But this season, the temperature could become unbearable.
There are three pressing concerns as the Red Wings look to make the playoffs for a 26th consecutive campaign, all of which fall directly into Holland's lap:
1) Can the Wings survive without Pavel Datsyuk?
2) What will they do in goal?
3) How will they fix their defense?
To address the first issue, Holland went out and spent $31.5 million in free agency on Frans Nielsen, a good-but-not-great center that turns 33 next season. Nielsen is defensively responsible and a fairly consistent scorer — a perennial 45-to-55 point guy — but lacks Datsyuk's playmaking ability and deft skill set.
(Though to be fair to Nielsen, most do.)
Still, a solution's a solution. Nielsen comes to Detroit in relative high regard, earning a handful of Selke votes every season, and was one of the best options available to replace Datsyuk, which was never going to be an easy task.
So onto the goaltending.
The situation at hand — with Petr Mrazek (presumably) the club's No. 1, and Jimmy Howard now in a backup role — is tough for everybody involved. It's tough for Howard, who is 32 and pulls in $5.29 million annually, an albatrossian combination with regards to potential trades.
It's tough for Mrazek, who now faces the added pressure of making good money himself ($4M annually), but is still coming off a year in which he lost the starting gig to Howard, only to regain it halfway through the playoffs.
The situation is tough for Holland, too.
Sinking nearly $10 million into the position was all his doing, and he doesn't seem to know how to get out of it. He's flip-flopped on Howard — first saying he's thought "lots" about trading him, only to later envision a scenario in which Howard sticks around.
Then, there's the defense.
Holland's made no secret of the fact he'd "love to get a top-three defenseman" in the door, and was reportedly in talks with Anaheim about a potential Cam Fowler trade. But as we saw with Edmonton trading Taylor Hall to get Adam Larsson, the acquisition price for good blueliners is sky high.
Which could be why Holland hasn't addressed the position yet.
At the time of writing, Detroit will enter this season with a top-seven group of Danny DeKeyser, Mike Green, Jonathan Ericsson, Niklas Kronwall, Brendan Smith, Alexey Marchenko and Xavier Ouellet.
It's a good group, but one with warts. There's not an elite level guy, and it's not especially young. Green is 30, Ericsson is 32 and Kronwall's 35… and was just dropped from Sweden's World Cup team due to a knee injury.
Add it all up, and you've got a team with more questions than answers.
And a GM who sounds like he knows the pressure is on.
"I don't know that there are more than five or six legitimate Stanley Cup contenders; we're probably not in that group," he said, per NHL.com. "After that five or six, there are 20 teams without much difference between them. We're in that group of 20.
"Certainly there are lots of questions about our team."
Kronwall out for World Cup, Sweden names Lindholm as replacement
Appropriate timing for this news, given it's Red Wings day at PHT — Team Sweden has announced that Detroit d-man Niklas Kronwall will miss the upcoming World Cup of Hockey, and has been replaced by Anaheim's Hampus Lindholm on the active roster.
Kronwall, 35, has been dealing with a troublesome knee issue all offseason. Shortly after getting eliminated by Tampa Bay, Kronwall acknowledged he had a "rough year" and was seeking options for the knee — but going under the knife wasn't one of those options, according to Red Wings GM Ken Holland.
That he avoided surgery led some to believe that rest and rehab was the way the club and "Kronner" wanted to fix the injury. If that's the case, missing the World Cup makes sense — it would give the veteran an additional month to get healthy.
As for Lindholm, scoring this roster spot is a nice feather in his cap. At 22, he'll be the youngest d-man on the team and got the nod over the likes of Dallas' John Klingberg, Edmonton's Adam Larsson, Vancouver's Alex Edler and Winnipeg's Tobias Enstrom.
Lindholm is still without a contract, however, so his situation will be worth monitoring as the tournament draws close.

This study received funding from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health grant 5U19OH008868.
The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
Objective: To implement an Employee Total Health Management (ETHM) model–based questionnaire and provide estimates of model program elements among a statewide sample of Iowa employers.
Methods: Survey a stratified random sample of Iowa employers, and characterize and estimate employer participation in ETHM program elements.
Results: Iowa employers are implementing less than 30% of all 12 components of ETHM, with the exception of occupational safety and health (46.6%) and workers' compensation insurance coverage (89.2%), but intend modest expansion of all components in the coming year.
Conclusions: The ETHM questionnaire-based survey provides estimates of progress Iowa employers are making toward implementing components of Total Worker Health programs.
The case for change for transforming employee health programs into integrated employee well-being programs has been articulated by three interrelated reports.1–3 The 2004 National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Steps to a Healthier U.S. Workforce Conference influenced the foundation of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health WorkLife Initiative, since transitioned to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Total Worker Health™ (TWH) Program (www.cdc.gov/niosh/TWH), which supports The University of Iowa Healthier Workforce Center for Excellence (HWCE).4 The concept of worker well-being, which underpins TWH, has gained recognition globally over the last decade and was the subject of the 2010 Towards Better Work and Well-being Conference in Helsinki, drawing 190 participants from 30 countries.5 Despite this widening recognition, the concept of TWH is not well understood by the vast majority of employers. In the United States, this is particularly so among small employers (fewer than 50 employees), which constitute more than 97% of Iowa employers. Although small employers are still primarily motivated by workplace regulations, incentives offered by the public health and prevention provisions of the Patient Protection and Accountable Care Act will likely influence future behavior.
The University of Iowa HWCE has sought, through its outreach conferences, surveys, technical reports, and electronic bulletins, to make Iowa employment stakeholders more aware of the benefits of fully integrated employee health protection and promotion, or TWH, programs. We have partnered with David P. Lind Benchmark (DPLB), an Iowa health benefit evaluation company, which has conducted 14 annual Iowa Employer Benefit Studies (www.dplindbenchmark.com), first to enhance the DPLB Health and Wellness Initiatives module, and for its 2012 study to develop and implement an expanded Health and Wellness Initiatives module based on elements of the Employee Total Health Management (ETHM) model, as articulated by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) (Fig. 1).1 This model seeks to describe the components of an integrated and sustainable approach to total employee health management, while the IOM also makes the case that such programs must be integrated and measurable to be effective and sustainable. Hence, TWH programs must include health protection and health promotion program components, which together include several modifiable risk factors that have been linked to increased sickness absenteeism, increased presenteeism, and reductions in preventable health care costs.6–8 Nevertheless, these findings are based on studies of large employers that include many if not all of these program components, but which also organize their employee health programs to ensure integration of health protection and health promotion programs. Although available evidence makes clear that integration of employee health programs is important, the methodology for defining and measuring integration is still developing and is not the focus of this study.9,10
To fully describe employer adoption of TWH would require assessment of both ETHM program components and measures of program organization and integration. The goal of this 2012 survey of a sample of Iowa employers was to translate the ETHM into a 12-item questionnaire suitable for use for a statewide survey of employers of all sizes, and to provide estimates of the ETHM model component adoption among these employers.
A total of 107,940 eligible employers were identified from the Iowa Dun & Bradstreet database for employers with two or more employees (2012). Organizations were stratified by the number of employees (2 to 9, 10 to 19, 20 to 49, 50 to 249, 250 to 999, and 1000 or more), using proprietary randomization software developed by Data Point Research under contract with DPLB. A stratified random sample of 5606 employers was selected for the 2012 survey. Data were collected from a total of 1206 organizations through Web-based questionnaires and with telephone follow-up.
The ETHM questionnaire is an elaboration of eight previous DPLB Health and Wellness Initiatives modules included in Iowa Employer Benefit surveys of more than 7400 employers. Items used in previous surveys included medical information (Web site, newsletter, etc), blood pressure/cholesterol screening, chronic disease management, smoking cessation/weight control wellness programs, health risk assessment, and health club discount or other incentives. The HWCE provided collaboration on the design of the previous questionnaire and contracted with DPLB to administer the current ETHM questionnaire, which used the same format and many of the same items included in previous DPLB surveys (see Table 1 for the full questionnaire). Survey data included employment sector, organization size, rural or urban location as defined by United States Department of Agriculture Rural–Urban Continuum Codes,11 insurance coverage, and health and wellness module responses. All analyses were conducted at the HWCE using SAS, version 9.2 (SAS Institute, Inc, Cary, NC).
A total of 888 organizations with fewer than 50 employees, 232 with 50 to 249 employees, and 91 with 250 or more employees participated in the survey. The response rate was 21.5%. The margin of error for all organizations employing fewer than 250 employees was 2.9%, and for all employers with 250 or more employees, the margin of error was 9.3%.
Employers by organization size and Standard Industrial Classification code, which distributes the population over eight employment sectors, are summarized in Table 2. Seven employers did not fall within any of these Standard Industrial Classification codes and were eliminated from further analysis. As is evident within all employment sectors, this sample provides employee distributions that are predominantly small, nearly a third employing 9 or fewer employees and nearly three quarters employing fewer than 50 employees. The largest employment sectors are services, retail trade, and manufacturing, which together constituted two thirds of the sample.
More than half of the organizations participating in this survey are located in rural counties, which include 55% of companies with 9 or fewer employees (Table 3), while organizations employing at least 250 employees are located primarily in urban counties. Only 51% of the smallest organizations offer health insurance, while organizations employing at least 50 employees reported nearly universal health care coverage (96%). Organizations employing at least 250 employees were frequently self-insured, while organizations employing less than 50 employees (of those which offer health insurance) offered fully insured policies more than 85% of the time.
The prevalence of organizations offering ETHM program components are summarized in Table 1. The most frequent response (89%) was provision of workers' compensation insurance, required by law for most Iowa employers. Nearly 47% of employers reported having an occupational safety and health program, an essential element of TWH programs. Other program elements were much less prevalent, led by programs on health or medical information, behavioral health, wellness, having a health risk assessment, and health advocacy. Employers collectively indicated that they intended to increase offering all ETHM program components in the next 12 months, most frequently planning to offer new health information programs (7%). Larger employers (more than 50 employees) planned to offer new program components more frequently than did small employers; organization responses by Standard Industrial Classification code found inconsistent participation across industrial sectors, led by public administration (see www.hwce.org for these additional results).
The distribution of program participation by company size found only organizations employing nine or fewer employees to have less than 90% workers' compensation insurance coverage (Table 4). Only a third of 2- to 9-employee organizations reported having occupational health and safety programs, a prevalence that increased to nearly 80% among organization employing 1000 or more employees. Similar progressions in prevalence by organization size were observed for all other ETHM program components.
Development of the ETHM questionnaire, based on a model described by the IOM,1 provides a framework to describe and quantify employer participation in providing individual components of this model. As Iowa begins to implement the prevention provisions of Patient Protection and Accountable Care Act, this questionnaire will provide a TWH tool to assess statewide progress as employers provide the building blocks for a TWH approach to safer and healthier workplaces
Very few population-based data are available for small employers, especially for companies employing two to nine employees; yet 90% of workplaces are of this size in Iowa and many other more rural states. As has been documented by all previous Iowa Employer Benefit Studies, these smaller employers are usually not able to offer health insurance, so the modest number of small employers offering health and wellness program components is not surprising. The ETHM questionnaire contained several Health and Wellness Initiative questions included in previous DPLB surveys, and the annual survey-to-annual survey results on these large samples of Iowa employers are remarkably consistent—in general, finding increasing participation with time. Consistent with previous results, employers intend, for all ETHM program elements, to extend their offerings in the coming year.
This survey estimates only employer participation in offering the 12 ETHM program components, but did not seek to measure integration of these employee health programs. Nevertheless, several of these program components are essential for measurement of modifiable risk factors known to be important predictors of preventable health care costs, sickness absenteeism, and presenteeism.6–8 Among large employers participating in the cited studies, risk has been found to decrease because employees actively engage in more complete prevention programs, the most successful of which include individual coaching to optimize individual employee behavior8 Exactly how even large employers organize and administer their integrated employee health programs, while known to be important and advocated by the IOM, is less clear.1 The first organizational priority recommended by the IOM was transformational leadership, which has recently been shown to have a positive effect on employee well-being.12 Development of valid and reliable methods to assess organizational measures of integrated employee health programs continues to be an important research priority.9 Another research priority necessary to fully realize the benefits of TWH programs is go beyond measurement of risk factors to base program impact on measures of employee well-being, absenteeism, and presenteeism.
The generalizability of the results of this study is limited by the response rate of this survey. Nevertheless, this health and wellness survey is a further iteration of eight previous annual surveys of large, random samples of predominantly small Iowa employers for which there is an acceptable margin of error of 2.9%. For the six items common to the previous DPLB survey module and ETHM questionnaire, the year-to-year results are remarkably consistent, suggesting this instrument is providing reliable and valid results for these items. The study has a number of strengths, including assessment of a large random statewide sample of predominantly small Iowa employers for which little research is available, and population-based employer estimates of adoption of components of an IOM-endorsed ETHM model.
This statewide survey of health and wellness program activities provides useful estimates from a random statewide sample of employers. This is important because it provides unique data about small employers, the employment segment that faces the greatest challenge in both providing employees with health insurance and health and wellness benefits. These data build on previous annual DPLB surveys and provide a benchmark for future adoption of TWH program components in Iowa. As the United States shifts to a more health-based model of health care, this survey instrument may be useful for other population-based assessments of employer participation in building employee health programs.

Hello support
I have just updated to WP 3.8 and then i would give AAM
a shot for one of my customers site. I installed the
new AAM 2.0 alpha 2, and it seems to work ok.
I was creating a special role for co-workers access to
private docs, and i removed unnessesary capabilities,
and hit the save button. Now i can't get access to the
backend of WP as "superadministrator". I wasn't aware
that the capabilties deletion was for all users i
thought that it was only for the "new role".
Now i can't even uninstall the plugin- and reinstall,
or anything else on the site.
Could you give me a hint to overcome this problem,
can i go to PHPmyadmin and change something to get access again?
This is what i have in the WP_options table now (_user_roles):
Thanks in advance

When the high school basketball playoffs started, it didn't seem likely that the Silver Bluff High School boys' basketball team would go on a deep playoff run. But that's exactly what has happened as the Bulldogs have won three postseason games in a row and will play for the Class AA Lower State championship today.
The game against Lake Marion, the top-ranked Class AA team in South Carolina, will tip-off at 3:30 p.m. at the Florence Civic Center. When the regular season ended, it would be fair to say Silver Bluff (14-10) was a long shot to play in this game.
The Bulldogs barely finished with a winning record and were the third-place team in Region 5-AA. Throughout the season, Silver Bluff battled issues of consistency and injury and seemed like a team that might not realize its full potential.
That all changed when the playoffs started.
Silver Bluff, a team with strong perimeter players, wasn't just taking any open shot.
The players were looking for the best scoring opportunity, playing smart basketball without rushing. And while patience paid off, making a high percentage of the shots was the biggest difference as the Bulldogs opened the postseason with wins at Battery Creek (73-63) and Calhoun County (64-57) before returning home to knock off Wade Hampton (61-50). "When the playoffs started, we were just hoping to find a way through Battery Creek," Silver Bluff head coach Robbie McKenzie, said of changing expectations, although he said he enjoys playing the role of the underdog in today's game. "It's kind of nice, but the guys are ready for the challenge."
The Bulldogs' last two wins came against Region 5-AA rivals. While familiarity may breed contempt, it helped McKenzie and his staff to prepare on short notice to face teams they previously played twice, splitting the regular-season series in both occasions.
Against both Calhoun County and Wade Hampton, the Bulldogs were propelled by strong performances by top scorers Jaylen Lawrence and Donte Wright and a calm demeanor against late-game pressure to prevail. Wright, an All-State guard, led the Bulldogs with an average of more than 18 points per game in the regular season. In the playoffs, he's scored 64 points in three games, an average of more than 21 points per game, which leaves him second on the team behind Lawrence. After posting approximately 15 points per game in the regular season, Lawrence, a small forward, is averaging 24 points in the three wins.
While they're the top guns, they aren't Silver Bluff's only impact players. Brian Hickson is a capable point guard while big men Gyasi Yeldell and Nick Cummings are combining for more than 10 points and 10 rebounds per game this season.
The Bulldogs will need to continue playing at a high level if they hope to extend their season beyond today. That's because Lake Marion (23-1) has been performing at a high level all season.
In his ninth season, head coach Roy Brown has guided the Gators to their second Lower State championship game appearance. This is the first year in Class AA for Lake Marion, which was created in 2004 following the consolidation of Holly Hill-Roberts and Elloree high schools. Brown has served as Gators' head coach since the school's inception and won three Class 3-A titles as an assistant and later head coach at Holly Hill-Roberts.
This season, his squad is led by All-State guard Khalil Halls, who has helped Lake Marion advance to this point. The Gators' only loss this season was to Sumter, which played in the Class AAAA Lower State championship game. Since that Dec. 28 setback, they've won 16 games in a row. In the playoffs Lake Marion demolished Waccamaw 70-32 in the opening round, escaped Marion 52-50, before taking care of Dillon 92-75.
While Halls is the engine that makes the Gators go, they're an exceptionally big team. Lake Marion features seven players on its roster listed as 6-foot-4 or taller, with centers Mike Williams (6-5) Austin Lawton (6-8) and Ryan Alston (6-6) patrolling the paint for the Region 7-AA champions.
Williams was a wide receiver for South Carolina in the 2012 Shrine Bowl and is headed to Clemson on a football scholarship.
"This is the longest team we've played all year and something we've worried about," McKenzie said. "We don't have a lot of experience competing on the glass with a team this ling, but we're a matchup issue for them. We're going to use our speed and we've got to use some pressure and tight defense, … We're going to try to make this an up-tempo game."
McKenzie said the Bulldogs will follow the formula they've used all year and throw a variety of looks on defense at the Gators. From a full-court press to an extended zone, McKenzie said it will be critical to keep Lake Marion guessing about where the defenders will be, which could cause frustration and turnovers.
"Our kids have played with every team in front of us this season," McKenzie said of his group's tenacity and growth. "This team has been learning how to win down the stretch. I hope we have a lead (today), because we know how to win."

over the phone. That was November 2010. CitiMortgage then turned around in Dec 2010 and made the EXACT same mistake!!! I called again and discussed with them about their error. Citi then tried to tell me I could NOT change the account because my Ex wifes name was on mortgage. I respectfully explained the situation and that I was merely changing the account info and NOT trying to take her name off anything. Anyone with a brain could figure this out.
CitiMortgage could NOT! From Jan 2011 to Aug 2011 I had to manually pay the payment online to ensure it was done correctly and was never late again. I have the credit report to prove I was not late before OR AFTER their complete
incompetence. CitiMortgage then reported me to the credit bureaus and told me they would remove the FALSE information. They drug it out till August till I was no longer a customer after paying the balance off. Now not being a customer
they could care less about the report they FALSELY reported!! I am willing to provide proof of payment history! CUSTOMERS BEWARE

Suffering from Brael inadequacies
Innoruuk's Voice Walkthrough (Epic 1.5)
Posted by Krushum Gudended (Originally posted 09-20-2004)
Sienn Kastane can be found in the Plane of Knowledge, evil side.
You say, Hail, Sienn Kastane
Sienn Kastane says, You. You are the one I have seen in my visions. Sienn removes a dark blade from a scabbard. I have just obtained this sword from one of my apprentices. This blade may be the key to the very existence of the shadowknight. Aare you aware of [what has been transpiring]?
You say, What has been transpiring?
Sienn Kastane places her hands upon your forehead. A gravelly voice that is clearly not Sienns fills your mind. Do you feel it? I am sure you do. Innoruuks Voice is so distant now. His voice is merely a whisper. This disturbs me greatly. How will the evil ones do their masters bidding without his dark guidance? I fear the end is near for champions of the darkness such as yourself. We cannot let it happen! I believe I know of a way we can slow down the diminishing of our masters voice. There is a sword of great evil. It is not however of this world. I believe I can summon it to this plane of existence, but I will need several [items] first The voice ends. That was the voice of Ritald, a luggald in the service of the dark lord, Innoruuk.
You say, What items?
Sienn Kastane says, Your first task is to find me a tome. The sword has told me of a tome that details its history. I do not know where this tome might be, but I suggest you talk to Grand Librarian Maelin here in the Plane of Knowledge. He may have more information of this tome. When you find it, return it to me.
You say, Hail, Grand Librarian Maelin
Maelin tells you, 'The Quintessence! Oh my this is amazing! I have come into contact with Chronographer Muon in the realm of innovation. Go to him, show him you have the power to activate machine. I shall meet you there, this I must see!'
You say, What tome?
Grand Librarian Maelin says 'Yes, I seem to recall having such a tome. But evil it is. I don't hand out such dangerous knowledge to just anyone. However. . . I am curious about something and perhaps you can help me. A prominent professor of biology and I have a bet as to how a certain creature from the Realm of Discord, known as a murkglider breeds. He believes they give live birth, and I believe they are egg layers. Unfortunately, I have been so busy here, that I have not been able to make arrangements to travel there and observe the creatures more. If you could travel to the Realm of Discord and [find an egg] for me, I will give you the book you seek.'
You say, Find an egg.
Grand Librarian Maelin says 'I appreciate your help with this! The creature I was supposed to study are most commonly known as murkgliders. The easiest way to describe them is that they look like large, floating octopuses. See if you can hunt down any breeding murkgliders and return an egg to me that I can study. You might want to bring some companions along, as this might be a dangerous task.'
Head to City of Dranik. In the southwest area of the zone there is a tunnel system, incuding two rooms, full of murkgliders. In the northernmost room, there is a murkglider creeper or a murkglider swarmer. If you are lucky, you may find Murkglider Breeder. You need to kill him, doable with a group with the right tactics. He spawns 6 Murkglider Spawn during the fight. Quad 940 max, the spawn hit for the same and flurry.
You have looted A Gelatinous Murkglider Egg.
Grand Librarian Maelin says 'I knew they were egg-layers! Ha, this is one gnome who hates losing a bet and thanks to you I wont! This is the tome you seek. Please bring it back to me when you are done.'
Maelin gives you The Silent Gods. Bring this to Sienn.
Sienn Kastane says "You have done well in aquiring this tome.' Sienn opens the tome and begins to read. 'It says that a sheath must be created to protect the sword. Unfortunatly the instructions for making this sheath are a bit unclear. The only clues given to the items needed are, to gather a dark hide of a creature unmatched in its bleakness, a holy lock of hair from a fair creature unmatched in happiness, and a gem possessing the very essence of fear itself, held by a creature more fearsome. If you find these three items, combine them in a sewing kit and then hand the sheath to me. I await your return.
The first is from a gloom nightmare in PoNightmare.
You have looted Gloom Nightmare Hide.
The second comes from a rolling plains steed in PoGrowth.
You have looted Lock of Blessed Unicorn Hair.
The third comes from Amydgalan Knights and Warriors in PoFear.
You have looted Eye of the Dark Gods.
Combine this in a tailoring kit. Was trivial to me at 239+ 5%.
Give the resulting Sheath of Darktidings to Sienn.
Sienn Kastane says, I admit that I did not think you could accomplish this task. Perhaps you really are meant to be the swords champion. Our work is not done however. There are those that wish for this sword to be destroyed. One of these beings is a froglok paladin named, Fraga. He was last seen in the Plane of Valor. Kill him and bring me any clues as to what his plans may be.
Fraga can be found in PoV in the camp of tents near the Graveyard. Go ahead and attack him. He quads 2850, rampages, has low atk, summons and casts paladin spells, but is easily one groupable. Partial slowable, unsnareable, does not summon. Doable with 1 mid elemental level group with a Knight tank.
You have looted Fragas Parchment.
Suffering from Brael inadequacies
Hand parchment to Sienn.
Sienn Kastane begins to read the parchment. A worried look plays across her face. The weapon is not safe. The forces of good strongly wish to have it destroyed. To make matters worse, the sword is emanating hate that can be felt by powerful beings, both good and evil, across all planes of existence. As it stands right now, I wouldnt be surprised if the forces of good are converging to have the sword destroyed and the forces of evil are conniving to take the sword for themselves. It is only a matter of time before they locate the sword and come for it themselves. I have been studying the tome while you were gone. The tome describes a way to [mask the swords presence].
You say, Mask the swords presence.
Sienn Kastane says, In the Plane of Nightmare, there dwells a banshee known as the Wailing Sister. In her possession is a rune of great power. The swords hatred has awoken from a deep slumber. The rune however is only part of what will be needed to help masks the swords hatred. The rune is inactive until combined with the Wailing Sisters blood. Recover the rune and a sample of her blood and return them to me.
Hail, The Wailing Sister.
The Wailing Sister wails loudly in agony!
Shes pretty easy for one elemental group, 920 max hit, and has an ae, Cloud of Fear. One time level group could probally do it without healers if they disced.
You have looted Wailing Rune.
You have looted Wailing Sisters Blood.
Sienn Kastane purs the blood on the rune. The rune begins to glowa bright red color and a horrifying wail fills your ears. The runes has been activated. Sienn holds the rune against the sheath you created earlier. The rune instantaneously melts into the sheath. The sword is safe for now, but I think it should be moved just in case. Do not lose the sheathed sword. If you do lose it somehow, come back to me and tell me you lost it and I will attempt to make you another one. I only have enough left of the items you brought me to make you one more though. Now, take the sword to a servant of mine, named Gilina Yilzior, here in the Plane of Knowledge. She is very knowledgeable and should be able to help you further.
You receive the Sheathed Innoruuks Voice.
Gilina Yilzior looks at you with a cold stare. The time has come. I have heard the dark blades whispers. It wants to find a master, but before that can become a reality, a test must be passed. There are four other shadowknights who wish to become the swords wielder. If you are up for the challenge, then seek out Silithis Sisnta in the Timorous Deep, Gubblegrot Smashfist in the Ocean of Tears, Skurza Slicekutt in the Swamp of No Hope, and Giligattabus Igglebix in Iceclad. Return their heads to me and we shall see if the sword is satisfied with your progress.
Ok, now its just time for a little manhunt. A little general information on them, is that they all quad for 1170 max, harmtouch, and cast SK spells. One group was fine, but bring a tracker, because not only do the zones fucking suck, they are hidden pretty damned well. To activate each one, simply Hail them. They are immune to attacks before the flagged SK hails.
Silithis Sisnta is an iksar, unsnareable, summons, and has an ae dot named Blood Cloud.
You have looted Silithis Head.
Gubblegrot Smashfist is an ogre, unsnareable, procs a small lifetap frequently.
You have looted Gubblegrots Head.
Skurza Slickutt is a troll, unsnareable, summons, and procs Deadly Lifetap. (Traks proc, 1500 LT)
You have looted Skurzas Head.
Giligattabus Igglebix is a cocky little gnome who thinks hes the shit despite being the weakest of the four. He doesnt summon, snares easily, unslowable, and is probably soloable. Hah, fuck gnomes.
You have looted Giligattabus Head.
Gilina Yilzior says, I can sense that the sword is pleased with your progress. However there is another task it wishes you to perform. I have learned through a contact of mine, that there is to be a ceremony in Kithicor Woods. Several paladins will be converging there to try to cleanse the undead from the forest, once and for all. The blade thirsts for the blood of these paladins. Before the blade will allow you to become its champion, you must kill as many of these paladins as you can, and bring me three samples of their blood. Take the Sheathed Innoruuks Voice back and when you have three samples of paladins blood, hand them to me along with the Sheathed Innoruuks Voice so that I may perform the ceremony to sate the blades thirst. Go now and find my contact in Kithicor. His name is Tarnamil. Take the sword back for safe keeping.
You receive Sheathed Innoruuks Voice.
Tarnamil is a green con skeleton in Kithicor.
You say, Hail, Tarnamil.
Tarnamil says, The paladins are coming from the west, my lord. The come to destroy the dead that walk at night. Already, the undead generals plot their demise, but they are powerful. They approach soon. I am getting out of here.
At this point, 6 paladins spawn to the west of you, buff a little, and walk towards Tarnamils spawn, and sit down in a ring. I pet pulled three, they all dropped blood for my single party, and we gated back to PoK. Max hit somewhere in the 800s.
Uglib Gaibido - Froglok Paladin.
Xotmidd Ferlop - Froglok Paladin.
Jarnig Kilanid - Human Paladin.
Valinda Erginton - Human Paladin.
Tilminos Farondi - Erudite Paladin.
Shressa Farondi - Erudite Paladin.
You have looted Sample of Paladins Blood.
You have looted Sample of Paladins Blood.
You have looted Sample of Paladins Blood.
Gilina Yilzior says, Well done. Gilina takes the blood samples starts to pour them onto the blade of Innoruuks Voice. The blade appears to become super-heated as the blood drops trickle down its surface. A thick black smoke begins to waft from the blade. The blade is now complete. Before I give the blade to you there is something else you must do. A mighty templar named, Sir Elmonious Falmont has heard of your crimes against the paladins and seeks revenge. It is important that we let none get in the way of our goals. As we speak, he is making his way from the Western Wastes in the continent of Velious to kill us. Destroy him and return his holy symbol to me.
You can find this human paladin northwest from the WW zone in. You must hail him to activate. Bring friends with you, as he quads for 3500, casts an AE for 2khp/1kmana, and does a single target 2 second stun. AE is every minute at -175 prismatic check, stun is every 30sec unresistable. He also single target rampages.
You say, Hail, Sir Elmonious Falmont.
Sir Elmonious Falmont says, I knew you would come. You will soon learn that evil does not pay!
You have looted Sir Falmonts Holy Symbol.
Gilina Yilzior says, You have permormed well. The blade is yours to wield now, champion. You may be on your way, or stay to hear about a [vision] I recently had.
You receive Innoruuks Voice.

If you skip the 1.0 and do the pre-quest she will not speak to you. You have to physically give her the sword you get from Ritold. She will then go into a spill and tell you to talk to the librarian.

Hm, anyone found a way to skip some of these things? I heard that you can't because you can't loot the pieces unless they're in percise order (?).
Anyways, this Quest seems easier but I heard the Breeder is a pain. I helped another Sk get his Paladin Bloods, that seemed pretty hard,,, We kinda kited them around with 70 Sk, 70 Nec, 70 Sham, and 66 Sk (me back then).
Wasn't too bad, Sk tanked. *grin* Took us 4 hours I think.

You can get the three parts of the sheath as well as Fraga's drop any time. The Wailing Sister, the paladins, and the SK's have to be done in order and won't respond to your hails until you're ready for that part.
The real bottleneck was the Breeder. Finding him up and organizing the mini-raid was somewhat time consuming. Eventually we did a couple nights of camping his spawn point with 2-3 groups of 60-70's, pulling other RCoD named to pass the time. When it finally spawned, I pulled it to the BF zoneline as suggested in the lost sk.org posts, ranger tagged when it came back, raid engaged. We had only one baby spawn.
After getting the egg I wrapped up the SK fights with one group, including a ranger to speed things up. The next day I took out the paladins with less than one group (pet pull ftw). Ended up killing all of them to get the bloods so we didn't have to wait and try again. On the last fight of my 1.5, the same raid force that 90% wiped on the bard 1.5 Dragon Necropolis fight smoked Falmont. His fight looks intimidating on paper, but DPS will fix that.
The single group encounters and Falmont were done with weekend raiders, so nothing exceptional is required. I did have the CoS AA for pulling the Breeder but probably didn't even need that.

just curious is there a fast way to get a group across the river in pon for the wailing sister? Is there a way around her silent treatment she hangs on you?
any advice would be appreciated thank you.

Take the same route you would for the Hedge or PoNb. From the zone in, head north and east along the zone wall. Stop before crossing the river and head south until you see a couple of rocks. From on top of the rock, you can see the mobs by the river and plan your path from there. Float east and move towards the plateau while avoiding the see-invis crocs. There is a relatively safe area between the plateau and the hedge to where the sister paths. Keep your healers and casters back a distance and hail her to start. Her silence doesn't last long at all and you should be able to manage agro fine.

With All Markets Trading in Tandem, Why a Reversal Might Be on Tap 4 comments
Happy Groundhog Day! And don't try telling me otherwise - at least as far as the markets are concerned. Everyday the S&P 500 creeps higher - as does gold, silver, and what the hell, even the Euro! Is Punxsutawney Phil nearby?
Let's start with the S&P, which has bounced several times off the 1040 mark, and has been climbing a staircase to heaven for the entire (traditionally bearish) month of September:
Source: StockCharts.com
Correlation of stocks is at a multi-decade high, while volume remains non-existent (Labor Day did happen...right?) - but us bears have thus far been foiled on any potential short trades.
Meanwhile, the price action in gold and silver has been even more bullish - there's no mistaking these moves:
Source: StockCharts.com
Sure the explanation for these moves seems perfectly valid and logical - that soverign debts will be monetized as countries engage in a game of competitive devaluation. Which will, of course, reward "real money" like gold and silver.
And perhaps it will. But I'm with our hero Hugh Hendry, who thinks we've got a few chapters to be played out before the logical conclusion of this story comes to fruition.
Signaling that the "reflation trade" is back on, even the Euro has been joining the "anything but the dollar" party!
I'm unsure on what exactly has improved in the Euro's fundamentals since the June lows. Credit spreads are breaking out once again on Greek sovereign debt. And more importantly, as our astute reader and correspondent Dr. Evil wrote to me a few weeks ago, the real linchpin is Italy. As the good doctor reported, it's not a matter of IF Italy will need to restructure, but WHEN - and that will be the huge domino to topple for Europe.
Over the last few months, sentiment on the Euro has swung from VERY bearish, to VERY bullish.
Meanwhile the bastard stepchild not invited to this roaring campfire of a good time is the US Dollar. The buck, a favorite of deflationists around the world (all 12 of us?), has been getting taken to the woodshed as these rallies have been occurring:
Since we've got extreme bullish sentiment on everything except the dollar, and extreme bearish sentiment on the dollar, I'm going to say we're due for at least a short term return to the Deflation trade. Even if gold and silver are heading to the moon, markets don't trade in a straight line, and extreme bullish sentiment usually results in at least a short term pullback/correction.
If the dollar does manage to stage a rally, it'd likely coincide with some carnage in all other asset classes. The extent and length of this carnage remains to be seen - as does the government's reaction to this overdue sell-off.
Get your popcorn ready - things have been calm for awhile. We've got some setups indicating things are about to get a little more interesting!

Yea, Brett, I'm ready. Have been building another short position since cashing in on our last wild ride. Just bought UUP today as I, too, think we're in for at least a bounce (as do others). Otherwise it's SDS, FAZ, TZA, BGZ, VXX and the other usual suspects.
Hey Bron, best of luck to you as well, and I agree on the "funny stuff" - case in point, today! I woke up to find the S&P up another ten points, and thought "of course" - looks like we've done a little "reverse skate" on the action, so we'll see if we're starting the breakdown we're anticipating.

The banks resfuse to give out loans to these types of custoners, but the payday loan companies gravitate towards them because they can charge the high fees.
Don't really understand it, the government bailed out: the Banks, Automobile industry, Airlines, Oil companies.... everybody..in other countries ...except the middle class Americans. We're the ones that are hurting the most...so when you see us applying for payday loans...we're definitly in need.
Took out a $3,000 .00 to catch up on my bills, have already paid $5,816.00 (with $2,700+ in interest charge s). Loan amount is based on 19 payments totaling $6,134.79.
One more payment of $319.29 & I have fulfilled my agreement. However, at 10 payments I am $319.29 ....but this company says I still owe $2400.00???. That would make this loan almost $8,297.00??? I feel this is just outrageous and need your help..there are others out there in the same situation... What are my options?

This was delicious! I served it with Garden Salsa Sun Chips. It really does taste like the toppings on a baked potato. In fact, the remainder of the dip was taken home by my best friend to use on baked potatoes. I did prepare this as directed. This is certainly a keeper and will be repeated often. Thanks Baby Chevelle!

NFL combines business with scouting
The NFL offseason begins for real this week in the same place the season wrapped up 21/2 weeks ago.
Team personnel began arriving Tuesday in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine. The first players who will preen and perform in hopes of improving their draft stock get to town today and will get measured, poked and prodded and interviewed for a couple days before the first day of actual running and jumping Saturday. Players will arrive by position group over the next three days and go through a four-day process culminating in their on-field workouts, which run through Tuesday.
And for all the attention the 40-yard dash and shuttle drill times get, there is just as much action in the hotel lobbies, bars and restaurants as inside Lucas Oil Stadium. Most agents arrive Thursday for their annual meeting the next day and then several days of meetings with team decision makers.
"The rest of it is where the business gets done," Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith said recently.
It's among the worst-kept secrets in the NFL that often the conversations are about unrestricted free agents the sides are officially prohibited from discussing. Free agency starts March 13, and much of the market will be set over the course of these clandestine talks.
"Everyone is talking," said one GM. "Everyone is speculating. Everyone thinks they know what's going on."
Ostensibly, though, the purpose of the NFL's annual convergence on Indianapolis is to get a look at the new crop of potential draftees.
Slightly more than 300 players are invited to this year's Combine, as selected by a committee of scouts and NFL executives for their likelihood of being drafted in April. The invitees include four players from San Diego State -- linebacker Miles Burris, running back Ronnie Hillman, quarterback Ryan Lindley and punter Brian Stahovich.
Much can be debated about the importance of the Combine in the draft process, as players can train specifically for tests such as the 40-yard dash and are prepared meticulously by their agents for the one-on-one interviews with teams.
As coverage of the lead-up to the draft has become a cottage industry and the draft has become a season unto itself, there will be much talk about topics that ultimately will likely prove to be moot come the final week of April. Among them:
• How much Stanford's Andrew Luck and Baylor's Robert Griffin III, the top two quarterbacks and possibly top two picks, choose to do. Most top quarterback prospects skip the passing drills at the Combine, instead throwing to receivers they know in an environment they're familiar with at their school's Pro Day.
• Some rumor about some player's drug use or bad grades or low Wonderlic score that may or may not be true and may or may not affect his draft status.
• Peyton Manning. It's Indianapolis, for one, and his status loomed large over the Super Bowl. With Luck the presumed first overall choice by the hometown Colts, Manning's likely free agency affects what other teams in need of a quarterback might do in the draft.
• The 40 times of several players — especially a group of half-dozen receivers seen as first- or second-round talents will be breathlessly reported and then analyzed.
• North Carolina's Quinton Coples and Whitney Mercilus of Illinois are considered first-round talents on the defensive line, but both have questions lingering that teams will poke and prod them about. Mercilus is the proverbial "one-year wonder" and Coples looked uninspired in the Senior Bowl.
Regardless of how those storylines and others progress, or how much work remains at Pro Days and on player visits to team facilities, there are undeniable benefits derived from the Combine.
This will be the first place teams get standardized weight and measurements for the 65 underclassmen who declared for the draft. And the intense (often daylong) medical examinations players undergo are considered by many to be the most important part of the process.
And while this is when most people start to pay earnest attention to the draft, the Combine actually signals the stretch run for scouts that began evaluating potential draftees players in August.
"If you look at the whole process, this is the beginning of one of the latter phases," said Chargers Director of College Scouting John Spanos. "… We will accomplish a lot this week. There is no other platform where they serve it up on a platter like this."

To mark the 70th anniversary of the Italian Republic, MAXXI is presenting a group exhibition featuring images by important Italian and international photographers who have focused on Italy: a poetic and yet documentary, socialand institutional ôatlasö of the Italy of recent decades. On show are sublime and blighted landscapes, ideal cities and neglected suburbs, architecture and marginal urban spaces.
The exhibition layout presents four sections, enriched by videos and photo projections and by the special project Inside Out by JR, installed in the museum square.
Paola Agosti, Alterazioni video, Olivo Barbieri, Gabriele Basilico, Letizia Battaglia, Gianni Berengo Gardin, Massimo Berruti, Tommaso Bonaventura, Alessandro Imbriaco and Fabio Severo, Michele Borzoni, Andrea Botto, Silvia Camporesi, Giovanni Chiaramonte, Gianni Cipriano and Simone Donati, Mario Cresci, Tano DĺAmico, Paola De Pietri, Franco Fontana, Giovanni Gastel, Luigi Ghirri, Guido Guidi, Francesco Jodice, Mimmo Jodice, Giuseppe Leone, Erich Lessing, Armin Linke, Ugo Mulas, Walter Niedermayr, Petra Noordkamp, Paolo Pellegrin, Massimo Piersanti, Mustafa Sabbagh, Ferdinando Scianna, Mario Spada, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Massimo Vitali, Francesco Zizola, Bego˝a Zubero Apodaca.
MAXXI National Museum of XXI Century Arts Via Guido Reni 4A 00196 Rome
Japanese photographer Ken Domon (1909ľ90) is recognized as a master of realism.
The show features about 150 photographs taken in black and white as well as colour between the 1920s and the 1970s, which illustrate the author's path towards social realism. From the first shots of the period before and during World War II, which display a vision linked to photojournalism and propaganda, through photography of the social sphere, the exhibit follows Ken Domon's production up to the crucial work documenting the tragedy of Hiroshima, which the photographer undertook as though in response to a call and a humanitarian duty.The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue published by Skira.
Prototypology explores research and development in the work of thirty contemporary artists, tracing the evolution from idea to finished artwork through drawings, archives, maquettes, and bricolage. In doing so the exhibition establishes a typology of diverse drafts.
The studio is a liminal zone for sourcing, modifying, and testing. Derived from the Italian word schizzare (splash), a "sketch" represents the initial impulse from mind to hand, the developmental process whereby form begins to emerge. In the laboratory of the studio, bricolage is often used as an instinctual method in the construction of prototypes.
The exhibition includes new works and archival material from Michael Heizer, Takashi Murakami, Albert Oehlen, and Robert Therrien, among other artists. Studies for sculptures by Dan Graham, Claes Oldenburg, Tatiana TrouvÚ, and Rachel Whiteread reveal moments of process that lead to epiphanies. Monumental, civic, everyday, and otherworldly gestures are visible in a range of preparatory drawings and proposals.
Artists: Vladimir Arkhipov, Richard Artschwager, Nina Beier, Will Boone, Mike Bouchet, Chris Burden, Jason Dodge, Aleksandra Domanović, Dan Graham, Loris GrÚaud, Michael Heizer, Carsten H÷ller, Thomas Houseago, Allan McCollum, Takashi Murakami, Albert Oehlen, Claes Oldenburg, Steven Parrino, Giuseppe Penone, Kirsten Pieroth, Ry Rocklen, Nancy Rubins, Arcangelo Sassolino, David Smith, Rudolf Stingel, Robert Therrien, Mungo Thomson, Tatiana TrouvÚ, Cy Twombly, Rachel Whiteread
