Another excellent cruise on Independence of the Seas: Independence of the Seas Cruise Review by a.mcghee214
Overall Member Rating
Another excellent cruise on Independence of the Seas
Destination: Canary Islands
Embarkation: Southampton
It didn't take too long to get people onboard and we made our way to our stateroom to find luggage already there.After unpacking we made our way to muster station for lifeboat drill.This was carried out professionally and as quickly as was possible.We went back inside to change for dinner,we ate in Macbethh dining room 6pm sitting.We had a table for 6 people which was great as it gave us chance to chat without having the feeling someone was being neglected.Our waiters were More Hilal and Carlos who were most attentive,Hilal taking our christian names and using them for the rest of our cruise.The food was of very good quality,and if you chose something you didn't like Hilal would let you select another choice.The desserts were to die for,some night's our dining companion's had two!
We had breakfast in our stateroom everyday bar the last one,this arrived usually on the dot of our time slot and was always hot.
Our steward was Iawayan who was superb,nothing was too much trouble making sure we had a filled ice bucket everyday.He also brought us towelling robes as we had forgotten to pack our's.
We went ashore at every port but under our own steam,apart from using shuttle bus at Lisbon.Having done the trip last March we knew what to expect,only this time the weather was superb.The last port of call La Coruna,the weather was about 16c which was cooler than the other's at 23c-26c.We went in a small cafe and had a couple of beer's which was brought to us with a dish of mussel's in a vinagrette with some bread.This cost 3-70(less than £3-50)
The show's onboard that we went to were very good,the headliner show's were the one's we went to.We did the ice show last year so did'nt go again.
We enjoyed the casino,where we played blackjack&roullette and managed to keep enough back to pay off most of our onboard spend's at the end off the cruise.
We tend to take dollars onboard so we can keep a check on what we spend,rather than use our seapass card to take money for gambling.
All in all we had a great time,so much so we have just booked to go in May this year on a western Med 14 night cruise!
Hope this put's some positive vibe on the IOS and RCL in general. Less

This guest post is by Richard Adams of EcoLivingAdvice.com.
I have a terrible admission to make. I used to work in a supermarket. You know – those giant temples to consumerism, waste, food miles and environmental degradation? That was me. And while I no longer work there it give me an intimate view of the shopping and lifestyle decisions people make every day – and why they make them.
One of my key discoveries was how many people would brush over the Fairtrade coffee, the free range eggs, and the organically-grown vegetables mentally labelling them as "overpriced". Instead they'd snap up whatever bargains were going and anybody buying organic milk was seen as having more money than sense. "Why spend all that money unnecessarily?" I'd hear them ask again and again.
The fact is that being green and making environmentally-aware buying decisions doesn't have to cost more when you look at your shopping as a whole and take into account the lifestyle changes that many of us concerned with living in tune with the planet make. Indeed by the time you've finished this article I hope you'll have a better appreciation of how going green can actually save you money overall rather than putting a dent in your bank account.
Shunning Consumerism
One key trait of an environmentally-sustainable lifestyle is that we don't buy things we don't need. Sure, I'd love a new iPad, and there are some training shoes I would give my right arm for. But I don't need them.
In essence the more we buy, the more we end up throwing away. We buy a new TV and suddenly we're left with the problem of how to dispose of the old one. And the most common reaction is to send it to landfill which risks polluting the earth as well as releasing harmful gases into the atmosphere.
The fact that a green lifestyle means buying less immediately means more thoughtful, intelligent purchases and shunning those unnecessary items on which too many of us fritter away our hard-earned cash.
Reducing Waste
On the flip-side of only buying what is necessary is the environmental principle of reducing our waste. Whether that's trying to recycle our plastic, cardboard and plastic, or finding ingenious ways to limit food waste from our kitchens it makes perfect sense that the less we throw away the less we need to buy.
Statistics suggest that on average over a quarter of the food we buy ends up getting thrown away. All those resources that have gone into producing, processing, packing and transporting that food was wasted, not to mention the money you spent on it.
By reducing what we throw away we make our weekly shopping go further and thus make considerable savings as a result.
Meat Use
To many environmentalists meat is a luxury rather than a necessity. Some people shun it altogether while others limit their meat consumption but the fact is that meat – especially beef – uses a lot of resources to produce as well as creating significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Meat is also one of the most expensive parts of many people's diet. Try working out how many vegetables you could buy in exchange for a single steak and I think you'll see what I mean.
So by reducing your meat use you can save plenty of money on your shopping bill. Furthermore if you do decide to purchase meat you can easily spend that little extra on ethically produced, free-range and organic meat that is better for you, the environment and the animal itself and still come out in credit at the end.
Grow Your Own
If you've got a piece of land of any form – whether that's a huge garden or a tiny window-box – it's possible to grow some of your own vegetables at home. This reduces food miles as well as the use of unpleasant chemicals like pesticides and artificial fertilizers that many factory-farmed foods rely on.
When you consider how easy many vegetables are to grow, and how you can buy an entire packet of seeds for the price of a single butternut squash or a bag of tomatoes it's easy to see that significant savings can be made on your grocery bill as a result.
A Taste Sensation
When I was a child, my mother used to take me to a local farm where we would pick our own organically-grown strawberries and sweetcorn straight from the plant. The fact we'd picked our own meant the farmer charged us less than the supermarkets did plus we had the satisfaction of picking and choosing only the ripest and sweetest produce. But this all faded in comparison to one thing – the taste!
Supermarket fruits and vegetables are designed to look uniform and to have a long shelf life so they don't have too much waste if they guess the weather wrong. But by selecting for these elements taste has somewhat fallen by the wayside.
I challenge you this summer to pick a ripe, juicy, sweet strawberry straight from the plant and not find it incomparable to the impressive-looking but disappointingly-flavored supermarket version. Yes, going to the source either by growing it yourself or buying from farmers can save you money and transform humble fruits and vegetables into an experience worth savouring.
In Conclusion
Less unnecessary purchases. Less waste. Producing your own food or buying locally straight from the source. The list goes on and on – and all of these elements can help you to save money and help the planet.
Indeed when you save all this money it's entirely possible to spend that little extra on the Fairtrade coffee or the free-range eggs and still spend less than you otherwise would have done; plus the warm feeling you'll get from knowing you're "doing your bit" as well as the incredible flavours and colors you'll experience from your food really does make a lot of sense. All it takes is the commitment to change.

No.28, Seethammal Road, Alwarpet, Chennai 600 018. Phone:91.44.4265.8552 E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Calibre Academy started by Madhuvanthi Arun and Arun.K.Vaddi in 2006 at Chennai, has in its short history forged some dynamic partnerships on both the national and international front. The forerunner to all these has been its partnership with Edward Richardson Primary School at Lincolnshire in the UK. The partnership was first encouraged by the British Council through the Exchange Grant and then given official recognition and support by the council through the Curriculum Grant as part of the Global School Project. Thanks to the support and the dedication of the teachers from both countries, it has reached a rewarding 3rd year and is ready to set and achieve loftier goals.
Madhuvanthi Arun, Correspondent, Calibre Academy, says, "Over a period of 3 yrs we've had about 6 mutual visits. It has become possible to work, analyze and improve on the partnership and achieve long-term results. We would now like to take it forward and explore the advantages of student visits and exchanges."
Two teachers from Calibre Academy, namely, Mrs. Rama Narayanaswamy, Head Teacher and Mrs. Nalini Subramanian, GSP co-ordinator, visited Tetford in September 2009, as part of the Curriculum Grant exchange wherein they spent a whole week exchanging ideas on sharing of curriculum and innovative teaching methodologies apart from deciding on the agenda of the five main collaborative projects to be carried out by both the schools on Food and hunger,Water,Terrorism,Recession and role of films in a child's life. Both of them also took classes for the children of Edward Richardson Primary School.
Subsequently, two of the teachers from our partner school, Edward Richardson Primary School visited us as part of the same Global School Partnership programme. Mr. Andrew Hyde, the Head Teacher of the school and Mrs. Tracy Lynam, a primary school teacher were here from the Jan.31st - Feb. 6th, 2010. As part of their visit here, we had arranged for them to observe some classes in our school as well as be a part of our school project being put up by our students on Water, Food and Hunger, Recession and Terrorism. They were also taken to some important places in Chennai such as Kalakshetra, Dakshin Chitra, The Museum, a couple of Indian weddings, a Bharatanatyam Dance recital etc. just to give them a flavor of the culture and traditions of India in general and Tamil Nadu in particular. This gives a deeper understanding and proper context to the exchange of ideas and implementation of projects.
A Press Meet was arranged for, on the 5th of February at Hotel Savera, for which representatives from both British Council and British High Commission were invited. Mr. Mike Nithavrianakis, The British Deputy High Commissioner in Southern India accompanied by his wife promptly arrived for the Press Meet at 7 p.m.Mrs. Maya Sivakumar, Senior Trade and Investment Advisor, British High Commission, was also present.Samyuktha Balakrishnan, Manager, School Projects (South India) represented British Council at the Press Meet. The British Deputy High Commissioner expressed his immense appreciation for a scheme such as the Global School Project which aimed at bringing two cultures together and aspired to make global citizens out of the children studying in schools, both in India and UK, who had become a part of the Global School Project. He wished Calibre academy well and hoped that we would achieve great success in all our endeavours.
According to Arun, Trustee, Calibre Educational Foundation, "We have been working on forging partnerships in specialized fields and will soon be announcing our partners in the fields of Technology and Design as well as Arts and Art-Education."

Car Sleeping too deeply
My car seems to sleep deeper than I expect. If I leave it for an hour, the seat adjuster light turns off, but it illuminates when I open the door. If I leave the car for four hours or so, it shuts down completely and doesn't wake up when I return. The comfort access doesn't work (it won't unlock when I lift the handle) and, if it was already unlocked, the soft-close doors don't work. It's dead to the world until I wake it up with the remote or start it up.
I replaced and registered the battery because the one it came with wasn't an AGM, but that hasn't helped. Does this sound like a current drain problem, is it something else, or is this the way it's supposed to work?
I had a similar issue on my 03, turned out to be the PCM (power control module).
Mine does this too if it sits overnight, is this not normal? Could this be a faulty Logic 7 or ASK? As those are things I am having issues with.

This just in:
The Pacers have traded Jermaine O'neal to the Raptors for TJ Ford and the number 17 pick.
O'neal is now in our division...
This might have a ripple affect in the draft. The Pacers were supposed to draft DJ Augustin with the number 11 overall pick. Now with Ford in the mix I doubt that happens. Any chance he falls to the sixers? I think the Blazers at 13 might have interest.
My initial reaction to the trade is, wow. Toronto is going to have an imposing front court for the 10 games both O'Neal and Bosh are on the floor together.
This also means there's zero chance Calderon leaves, even if someone offers him a $55M deal for 5 years (the most the Sixers could offer him) Toronto has to match.
I read somewhere that Sacramento or Portland would take Augustin if he dropped past Indiana. I think it was in Chad Ford's column.
I think we (Pacers) will go with Brandon Rush at 11 and then Hibbert at 17 now. Larry Bird said he wants guys to come in and play right away and doesn't want any "project" players. Plus, Hibbert killed Jordan and McGee in their groups workout.
If I could redo my mock draft right now I'd have the Pacers taking Rush at 11 and Robin Lopez at 17. Just a hunch.
I would be thrilled with both of those players. Maybe even Darrell Arthur or Donte Greene at 17 would be a nice pick up.
Looks like no Serge Ibaka in the draft now. Says he won't be here until 2011 according to Andy Katz.
I can't help it, I always laugh when I see the name Serge. Ford had him going #24 to OK City with an eye toward 2 or 3 years down the road. Wonder if they'd still consider drafting and stashing him.
Wow, that's a potentially terrifying list. I'd be happy with Arthur, and Speights wouldn't make me upset, but pretty much anyone else on there would elicit a big groan from me tomorrow evening.
Did a post over on my blog running through some names, but perhaps more importantly, going over Stefanski's track record. Now I know Thorn was the ultimate decision maker, but during Stefanski's tenure as Nets GM, all 4 of his 1st round picks were college juniors, and all of them were good defenders -- save for Marcus Williams, who was universally hailed as a steal at 22 in the 2006 draft. So just a hunch, but I don't think we'll hear DeAndre Jordan's named called. Fingers crossed...

Plaintiffs (taxpayers) appealed the Real Market Value (RMV) of their residential real property for the 2007-08 tax year, requesting their RMV be reduced based upon sale of nearby property. Defendant Department of Revenue (the department) argued taxpayers had no standing under ORS 305.275, as such a reduction would not reduce their Assessed Value (AV), and that taxpayers were thus not aggrieved. Granting motion to dismiss of the department, the court found that for the court to have jurisdiction over a taxpayer's claim, taxpayer must be aggrieved by an action of a taxing entity, that a uniformity claim is an appendage that does not create standing, and that standing in the Tax Court must be based upon a claim for real reduction in value of taxes.
Tax Court—Jurisdiction
1. For the court to have jurisdiction over a taxpayer's claim, a taxpayer must be aggrieved by and affected by an act, omission or determination of the department, BOPTA, the county assessor, or a tax collector.
Property Taxation—Standing—Aggrieved
2. Because the lesser of the Maximum Assessed Value or the Real Market Value determines the Assessed Value and thus the tax liability on a property, a reduction of Real Market Value that leaves the Maximum Assessed Value as the lesser value does not cause a taxpayer to be aggrieved.
Constitutional Law—Uniformity
3. A claim for uniformity is an appendage to an underlying claim as to valuation in a property tax assessment and does not present a grievance to this court.
Constitutional Law—Uniformity—Property Taxation
4. Measure 50 neutralized uniformity requirements with respect to Assessed Value.
Constitutional Law—Uniformity
5. Because Article XI, section 11, subsection 18 exempts Assessed Value from the uniformity requirements of the Oregon Constitution, a challenge to Assessed Value based upon uniformity would not rise to a complaint.
Tax Court—Standing—Property Taxation
6. Standing before the Tax Court must be based on a real reduction in Assessed Value.
Oral argument on Defendant's Motion to Dismiss was held on September 29, 2008, by telephone.
Joseph A. Laronge, Assistant Attorney General, Department of Justice, Salem, filed the motion and argued the cause for Defendant (the department).
Jean Claude Paris and Maarja K. Paris (taxpayers) filed a response and argued the cause pro se.
Decision for Defendant rendered November 5, 2008.
HENRY C. BREITHAUPT, Judge.
This matter comes before the court on the Motion to Dismiss of Defendant Department of Revenue (the department) and the Response of Plaintiffs Jean Claude Paris and Maarja K. Paris (taxpayers) to the motion. The department asserts taxpayers lack standing before this court because taxpayers are not aggrieved.
II. facts
Taxpayers appeal the real market value (RMV) for the 2007-08 tax year of residential real property identified in the county's records as Account R223970. Taxpayers request that the RMV of the property be reduced to $369,900. Taxpayers requested the reduction to $369,900 based on the sale and subsequent reduction of a nearby property's RMV to $369,900. The RMV as found by the Board of Property Tax Appeals (BOPTA) for the 2007-08 tax year for taxpayer's property is $402,530. The Maximum Assessed Value (MAV) and Assessed Value (AV) of taxpayers' property for the 2007-08 year is $209,120. Taxpayers first filed an appeal of the RMV of their property to the board that was unsuccessful. Taxpayers then filed an appeal in the Magistrate Division of this court. The department filed a Motion to Dismiss, which the Magistrate Division granted. The Magistrate Division granted the department's Motion to Dismiss on the basis that taxpayers were not aggrieved. Paris v. Dept of Rev., TC-MD 080407C, WL 2963091 (Jul 17, 2008). Taxpayers were considered not aggrieved because their requested reduction of the RMV of their property would not reduce their property taxes. Id. at *2-*3. Taxpayers now appeal the Magistrate Division's decision.
(1) Do taxpayers have standing to appeal to the Oregon Tax Court?
(2) Does an argument of uniformity between taxpayers' RMV and taxpayers' neighbors' RMV create standing before the court when the requested reduction of RMV by taxpayers will still be higher than the MAV of their property in question?
IV. Analysis
The department asserts that under ORS 305.275,(1) taxpayers do not have standing to appeal to the Oregon Tax Court. The department cites Kaady v. Dept. of Rev., 15 OTR 124 (2000), for the position that if a taxpayer seeks relief that will not change a taxpayer's tax assessment, the taxpayer cannot be "aggrieved" under ORS 305.275 and has no standing with the Oregon Tax Court.
1, 2. Under ORS 305.275, for the court to have jurisdiction over a taxpayer's claim, a taxpayer must be "aggrieved by and affected by an act, omission or determination" of the department, BOPTA, the county assessor, or a tax collector. In Kaady, a taxpayer sought a reduction of the RMV of the taxpayer's property when the MAV of the property was less than the reduced RMV sought. 15 OTR at 125. Because the lesser of the MAV or the RMV determines the AV and thus the tax liability on a property, a reduction of the RMV that still left the MAV as the lesser value did not cause the taxpayer to be "aggrieved." Id.
Taxpayers' case is analogous to Kaady in the respect that taxpayers also seek a reduction of their property's RMV. Taxpayers seek to reduce their RMV from $402,530 to $369,900, when the MAV of their property is $209,120. The MAV is less than the requested reduction in the RMV, and thus the MAV would still be the AV, and thus the tax liability of taxpayers' property. No showing has been made that the requested reduction in RMV would reduce taxpayers' property tax liability. Indeed, taxpayers concede that they are not aggrieved by a tax assessment. Both by case law and concession, taxpayers are not aggrieved under ORS 305.275 and consequently do not have standing to appeal to the Oregon Tax Court.
While taxpayers concede they are not aggrieved, taxpayers advance another argument which the court will address briefly below.
Taxpayers' only request to the Oregon Tax Court is a reduction in the RMV of their property to the same amount as their neighbor's property so that they are treated "equally and fairly." Taxpayers cite multiple sections of chapters 306 and 308 of the Oregon Revised Statutes to argue that such uniformity is required.
3. In Sherman v. Dept. of Rev., 17 OTR 322 (2004), the taxpayers also argued that the RMV of their property should be reduced, although they also conceded that the reduction would not reduce their tax liability that was substantially below their requested reduction of the RMV of their property. Id. at 322-23. The taxpayers in Sherman asserted the assessor was improperly motivated and denied them uniform treatment. Id. at 323. This court found that such a claim regarding uniformity was an "appendage[] to the underlying claim as to valuation and suffer[ed] its fate." Id.
The same analysis in Sherman governs the present case. While taxpayers may request a reduction in RMV to something closer to their neighbors, such a request still does not present a grievance before this court.(2) Taxpayers' uniformity argument is an "appendage" that does not create standing.
4-6. Further, taxpayers' uniformity argument, if it were based on the AV of their property, would also fail.(3) Measure 50 neutralized uniformity requirements with respect to AV. See Or Const, Art XI, § 11(18). Because Article XI, section 11, subsection 18 exempts AV from the uniformity requirements of the Oregon Constitution, even a challenge to AV based on uniformity would not rise to a complaint. Standing before this court must be based on a real reduction in AV, which taxpayers concede they do not request.
The court does not have jurisdiction to hear taxpayers' appeal because taxpayers are not aggrieved under ORS 305.275. Accordingly, their appeal must be dismissed. Now, therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendant Department of Revenue's Motion to Dismiss is granted.
1. All references to the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) are to the 2005 edition.
Return to previous location.
2. The legislature, when enacting ORS 305.275 "did not intend that taxpayers could require the expenditure of public resources to litigate issues that might never arise." Kaady, 15 OTR at 125.
Return to previous location.
3. Taxpayers do not make this argument here. Taxpayers, by their own exhibit, admit that their neighbors have the same AV as taxpayers. (Ex C of Compl.)
Return to previous location.

Protocol Title:Determination of Tretinoin Bioequivalence in Man by Stratum Corneum Tape Stripping
Products:Retin-A Gel 0.025%
Avita Gel 0.025%
Study Center:Dermtech International
San Diego, CA 92128
Investigators:Paul A. Lehman M.Sc.
Thomas J. Franz M.D.
Study Design:Protocol Outline: This was a single center, double-blind, side-by-side comparison of two tretinoin 0.025% gels. The products were randomly applied (20 FL dose) to eight 4 cm2 sites each on the ventral aspect of both forearms of 36 subjects. An elevated, non-occlusive guard was then placed over the dosed sites. The sites were placed side by side as two columns of four each (medial and lateral) on both forearms. The two products were always paired such that if one was assigned to the medial site of a given proximal6distal location, the other was assigned to the lateral site. A single 4 cm2 site was placed on the upper arm as a control (untreated) site. The movement of tretinoin into and out of the stratum corneum was determined at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours (uptake phase); and 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours (elimination phase). For convenience, one arm of each subject was randomly selected for the uptake phase and the opposite arm for the elimination phase.
Uptake Phase: At each time point of the uptake phase, one set of paired sites were first blotted three times with KimWipes® and wiped once with a dry cotton-tipped swab, then stripped 22-times with Transpore™ Tape. Each tape strip was cut to be slightly larger than the 4 cm2 site so that the entire dosed area was stripped.
Elimination Phase: The elimination phase was initiated by removing unabsorbed surface drug from all sites on the elimination arm at four hours using the same procedure outlined in the uptake phase. In addition, all sites were stripped twice with Transpore™ Tape. Subsequently, at 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours one of the paired sites were again stripped 20-times.
Assay Procedures: Tretinoin was assayed by reverse phase HPLC. Both the all-trans and 13-cis isomers were quantified. Neither the KimWipes® or cotton-tipped swabs used to clean the sites were analyzed, nor were the first two tapes strips taken from all sites. The remaining 20 strips were combined in two groups of ten, and extracted for 48 hours in 10 mL of acetonitrile. An 8 mL aliquot was taken to dryness by vacuum centrifugation, reconstituted in 20 FL acetonitrile and analyzed.
Results:Pilot Variability Study: Prior to the pivotal study, a pilot study in six subjects was conducted to determine site-to-site variability. All sixteen sites on each subject were dosed with 20 FL Retin-A Gel 0.025% and tretinoin content determined at all sites at 6 hours. All other procedures (removal of unabsorbed drug, tretinoin analysis) were the same as for the pivotal study.

I didn't have computer access, but did manage to get some tweets out while I was there. And I wasn't kidding when I said I saw a man powered Hippopotamus go by. Can you see why this place is so much fun?? No, well you have to go to get it!
There are some really talented people out there in crafts I rarely think of, like metal work. There were so many metal sculptures placed around the fair this year, I only captured a few though.
All was well...until the sky opened up and rain drenched everything on Sunday. It has only rained like that during the fair one other time in all the years I have been going . Thank God I was parked under the covered traffic desk with my fleece, a cozy blanket and my surrogate mommy Suzie to keep me warm during my shift. It didn't stop me from pouting since I felt like my rain cloud had followed me all the way from RI, but I survived.
Too bad I can't say the same for my shoes.... It was nice to see everyone and have some alone time, but I cried on Sunday because I missed my boys so much. Well, that and it was finally freakin sunny in RI and they were on their way to the beach without me. Six planes, 22 combined hours of flying, 3 nights sleeping in a tent, one rain storm and lots of good quality time with people I love later and I'm back in RI! Staye tuned for Natey's 25 month post and the recap of my sewing and balloon festival adventure.....if I ever get the time to finish them!

From the Steam description:
Two years in the making, the highly anticipated Indie remake of the cult mod
Dear Esther arrives on PC. Dear Esther immerses you in a stunningly realised
world, a remote and desolate island somewhere in the outer Hebrides. As you
step forwards, a voice begins to read fragments of a letter: "Dear Esther..." -
and so begins a journey through one of the most original first-person games of
recent years. Abandoning traditional gameplay for a pure story-driven
experience, Dear Esther fuses its beautiful environments with a breathtaking
soundtrack to tell a powerful story of love, loss, guilt and redemption.
Dear Esther is supported by Indie Fund, and developed by thechineseroom in
collaboration with Robert Briscoe. It was first released in February 2012.
1.02 Story
From the Steam description:
"A deserted island... a lost man... memories of a fatal crash... a book written
by a dying explorer."
Forget the normal rules of play; if nothing seems real here, it's because it
may just be all a delusion. What is the significance of the aerial -- What
happened on the motorway -- is the island real or imagined -- who is Esther and
why has she chosen to summon you here? The answers are out there, on the lost
beach, the windswept cliffs and buried in the darkness of the tunnels beneath
the island... Or then again, they may just not be, after all...

3.01 The Lighthouse
Dear Esther.
I emerged from unconsciousness. The waves sulked alongside the shore. I dared
to return to the sea, afraid of what I would discover on this island. Darkness
engulfed me. A voice.
"Come back..."
Before me there was a lighthouse, into which I ventured to discover a state of
decay. Furniture lay strewn about as if hurled in a fit of some distant
madness. On the right, the remains of an office, and beyond that the remains
of the base of the lighthouse. A can of phosphorescent paint in the corner.
Someone, whose identity is beyond my faith in memory, used the paint to cover
the wall in a strange... formula. Scientific notation? I gazed at the
connections of elements as if time itself would whisper the answer to me.
I looked into the bathroom across from the entrance before I returned to the
air outside. Music notes, beneath old green folders. The storage shack next to
the lighthouse contained no answers either. More paint cans and silence.
What was my purpose, Esther? I looked into the distance along the shoreline.
There, on a seaside peak, emerged a red light. It glowed, vanished, and then
glowed again--consistently, repeatedly. A beacon. Laughter in the distance.
I turned toward it and took but a few steps before discovering two paths. I
chose that which led me to the shore. The eternal embrace of the ocean.
The sands were as barren as the rock cliffs beside them. A few crab traps lay
long abandoned. A black rock threatened to stop my progress, but the rift to
the right allowed me to continue to the other side. The remaining beach would
not take me far. Islands along the horizon barely shown through the mist, but
my path led me to the crag in the cliffs to the right. Before I could walk
further, a design in the sand emerged. A strange arrow... a map? I could no
make no sense of it. Then the realization that someone else had been here, but
far more recently than I had imagined.
I continued into the crag. There, on the polished granite surface, I found a
marking. Another arrow pointing past the top of the surrounding cliffs. Someone
else realized that this place would lead nowhere.
Back to the path that led inland. I followed steps carved into the side of the
cliff until it turned at a switchback, toward the beacon. It felt almost too
easy, didn't it? There it is; go forth. The path, however, was not so simple.
It turned right again into a field of obelisks. Stone spirits scattered among
the island's sparse and withered vegetation. I followed the path nonetheless.
What was that? A cave? Shelter from the storms. A wrecked boat lent little
hope to the cause. I waded across the water, noting the lighthouse again. It
felt like I'd traveled nowhere, slowly.
I discovered bizarre paintings on the walls of the sea cave. More of the
strange, cellular designs. Some semblance of coherence, but it disturbed me.
To whom did these designs make sense? As I walked out to follow a slow stream,
I thought it was a riddle. Pieces of a grand design beyond my field of view.
The new path led up again, to a cluster of obelisks and tombstones. I did not
feel well, surrounded as I was by their gazing faces. There was a book on
chemistry among them. Next to it, another carving of white chalk. A purposeful
pairing. Strange that the book's bindings showed none of the weathering of
its surroundings.
I continued up toward the high ground. Perhaps there I would glean some new
insight, or at least find the red beacon once again. My heart fell as the
ground descended. I conceded to the darkness.
3.02 The Buoy
Dear Esther.
The dead on this island remain here, locked away in its coves and caverns. The
sight at the end of trail confirmed as much. A fork awaited me, and I followed
the path on the left, above the wrecks, as if lured by the scent of memory.
A yellow light awaited me in the ocean. A false beacon, nothing more. I then
descended upon the beach. The rust and rot roiled through my sight, and though
curiosity bade me to proceed into the wreckage, it frightened me. Would I end
up another pile of bones among the rocks?
The path around the cove led nowhere. My only option was to proceed inland
again, and hope for a sign of purpose. As I headed into the hills I came
across a large sinkhole, black and bottomless. It seemed apt, to encounter
a path deeper into the island, but this would only end my search. Instead, I
turned west again toward a slope where I discovered the ruined foundations of
what must have once been a shepherd's village.
I explored the ruins aimlessly. The stable, now near fallen to pieces, was
so rotten it was black. Old surgical tools and dark blood stains lay in a
corner. I imagined the braying sheep and shepherd's steady hands. Strange to
think that anything could give birth on the windy hills of this foreboding
place. The bothy at the peak of the slope contained a sleeping bag and camping
equipment. Could this have been my site? I exited the structure through the
back and was reminded, again, that the red beacon in the distance was my only
recourse. The path led down again, toward the shore. On the right I found
another goat stable. More phosphorescent nonsense.
The path led to the shore, which led to a rocky cove and the entrance to the
caves on the right. This would be my entry to the island's interior, where I
have suspected it all to lead. Although the shore was once again safer than the
alternative, it ended suddenly in the water. I waded back to the right, toward
the mast in the sand. Ship's ribs nestled me until I passed and ventured into
the entrance. A single candle goaded me forward, to a gaping maw lit by a
phosphorescent aura.
My soul grows weary, Esther. This place shall end me, but not before I tear
its secrets from its grasp. I leapt into the hole. Dreamt of childhood,
the sun.
3.03 The Caves
Dear Esther.
It is not surprising that it is in the depth of these caves that I found the
brightest light. The glow surrounded me, reflecting off the surface of the
water, the walls. There was a void in the distance--a tunnel. I proceeded into
the depths of the island.
The phosphorescence of the lichen reflected the chemistry notations from
elsewhere on the island. Which came first, I wondered. Further on I encountered
a fork in the path. Ascendance to the left, and an eerie orange light to the
right. Though I suspected the light to be merely an illusion, I followed,
like a sailor to the siren. The chamber was a round path, and in the center
a single orange light. There were more strange designs on the walls and
ceilings. Biology, chemistry, electrical engineering... what man painted these?
What men?
My mind spun. I retreated to the ascending path. Stalactites slowed my
progress as the cave swallowed me further into its depths. A serene convergence
of water met me at the end, but its burbling did little to assuage my despair.
I had nowhere left to go but down. Into a pool I went, and remained, thinking
on my history. Here I was.
I was strangely untroubled by the many minutes I spent underwater. Air meant
nothing to my lungs, my blood. I floated up and saw water scurrying down the
protrusions all around me. A single tunnel waited at the other end of the
pool. I plodded upward, away from the pool. One stream led to another stream
until at last I emerged in the central water chamber once again. The path
circled around to another glowing candle. It flickered defiantly in the face
of overwhelming moisture.
What is sanity, if not a caged mind? The tunnel led up to an underground
river flowing along as it had for millennia. The path seemed clear, but the
banks on either side could not be ignored. I explored them, like a child at
the river during the thaw. The first signs of life, but whose life? I found
more of the same paintings. Electrical schematics. Signs pointing to nowhere.
Blue crystals dotted the walls in the distance. A single bird's nest lay on
accumulations of sand, near... footprints? Misdirection.
I decided to move on. I looked down on the river as it moved out of sight along
the rock bridge. I was to the river as a microbe is to a mountain.
The next pool, with its ceiling far above and out of sight, exuded the weight
of finality. I jumped into its calm water and felt not rejuvenated, but renewed
for another trek across a desert. An empty land lay ahead. I emerged and
followed the candle into the mouth of madness.
It was dizzying. Amplified insanity. The scrawls were all familiar and yet so
tightly bound as to give them an even more alien feel. Bundled nerves in the
brain of the island.
"Away from being a city."
"And I shall be a ruinous heap."
I followed the words up and out to the deep pool. With no path left to me, I
jumped in, and followed the lagoon under the rock wall. I flung myself into the
next pit, too tired to care where it led.
The water took me to a special place. I swam toward the light and waited.
The path that remained led up through a sea of skulls. The men who came before
and those who would follow. I ascended to the light at the end of the tunnel.
3.04 The Beacon
Dear Esther.
A full moon has long served as a marker in the sky. "Come here," sometimes, or
"Go there." A guiding light. But for me it was simply another arrow. Another
phosphorescent blot of paint, leading me astray. The only beacon I wanted
was the great red eye in the distance. It would tell me what to do. It would
Into the full moon's light.
The cove led me toward more candles along its muddy shore, but lines on a
cliff to the left drew me in. More electrical schematics, but larger, visible
to all who would visit. The painter's final, desperate communiques? I followed
the shore but could not see the beacon. Candles appeared to lead the way in
place of the great light. They led along from one to the next, from shore to
cliff, each seeming to hold some holy place on the ground as stars do in the
sky. The further they led, the more lost I became. Finally, in a moment of
doubt, when I was far along the mud and rotted timbers, I turned back. The
beacon had been here all along, watching. Testing me. It looked on as I
continued along the path before me.
There was a cave carved into the side of cliff by ancient waters. A shrine
inside. Radio, surgical tools. More photographs. The picture was there, but
I could not see it. I had yet to gain perspective. The end was near. What does
it mean, Esther, to reach the end?
It was inevitable that you would find me. The candles ended at the shore. Your
paper boats floated in place, held there like a photograph. I swam among them
but was stopped from venturing further than a few feet out. Some invisible
barrier. When I turned to shore I found a boat shack and ominous glow. Gull
eggs in a nest and more ravings. I tired of the secret message. The world
lacked clarity.
Frustrated, alone. I turned to the cliffside path toward the aerial and its
single point in the sky. A narrow mine cart track led me to the left where
a strange sign appeared below a candle. Signs from another time. The path to
the aerial called to me and I turned back. A figure in the distance waited
by a candle, but when I arrived I remained alone. Behind me, across the side of
the cliff, a message:
"And he was proceeding on his journey."
My passage to the aerial narrated on every rock.
"And was come near to Damascus."
"And he was three days without sight."
"And neither did he eat nor drink."
A machine gun nest was no surprise in the midst of this island's many
mysteries. I entered. A single candle and more scrawls. When I cocked my head
it became a laughing clown, and I, too, laughed. I glanced at the aerial, now
larger and more ominous. I was near enough that I could make out individual
cross bars. Insight from the future.
The climb ahead promised familiarity.
"And it came to pass that as I made my journey and was come high unto
A solitary walk.
To the only star in sight.
"Suddenly thee shone from heaven a great light round about me..."
"And could not see for the glory..."
"That light..."
"Being led by the hand of them..."
Here another switchback, higher still, farther than the distance of all
experience in life. I heard yelling though I did not recognize it as my own.
A howling despair on the wind. Concrete and a chain link fence.
"That were with me..."
"I came into..."
What they don't tell you about journeys, Esther, is they lead you back to
where you started. As I climbed the final steps toward the beacon I saw my
every experience laid bare, and I knew that I would be here again.
Dear Esther.
The ghosts are faint mirages on the periphery of my mind. I can see them from
a distance, but only then. The locations of these apparitions require a keen
eye and patience.
The Lighthouse
#1 - In the window next to the doorway. It is fast and easy to miss.
#2 - At the top of the spiral staircase in the lighthouse.
#3 - A flickering light in the mouth of a cave.

|Quest series
|Official difficulty
|Tytn H
One Small Favour is a humorous quest in which you are asked to complete a favour, although things turn out to be less simple than that.
|Start point
|Go to Shilo Village and talk to Yanni Salika.
|Official difficulty
|If you're fresh to Shilo Village after solving the mystery (or even if you did it some time ago), you may like to check out Yanni Salika's antiques shop.
He's a busy chap revamping antique items, checking out new stock from potential adventurers and maybe he'll have a small1 favour to ask of you? Probably nothing particularly large, Yanni isn't a demanding2 person, should hardly take you any time3 at all really, something to do when you have a spare moment.
That's assuming there aren't any complications.
1: - Perception of the word "small" may be open to interpretation.
2: - In a recent vote, Yanni Salika was only voted the second most demanding person in Shilo Village.
3: - As everyone knows, time is relative.
|Very Long
|Items required
|Enemies to defeat
Items required: A good pickaxe to mine the gems, a chisel, and some form of teleportation to Port Sarim, such as an amulet of glory to Draynor Village and walking there (or glory to Karamja), a Rimmington tablet/house teleport, Pest Control minigame teleport, or some coins to ride a ship there. There is also the fairy ring code CKR, which teleports you close to the wall of Shilo Village by the gem rocks.
- Travel to Shilo Village, and talk to Yanni Salika in the antiques shop north of the river. He will ask a small favour—get some red mahogany logs from a forester south of the village.
- Go outside the village to the south, and talk to a forester there. You are asked to take a blunt axe to Captain Shanks and get it sharpened.
- (Optional) Go due west to the ocean, and there will be a ladder. Go up the ladder, and talk to Captain Shanks. He will tell you to go to Port Sarim and get the axe sharpened there. Buy a ticket from him (45 coins) or teleport to Port Sarim any way you can.
Asgarnia and MisthalinEdit
Items required: A Lumbridge teleport (optional),[1] Falador teleport (optional),[2] a Varrock teleport, 3 steel bars, a harralander, 2 guams, a marrentill, a bowl of hot water (Farmer Fred has a water source; Farmer Seth has a range to boil), an empty cup (drink a cup of tea), 5 pigeon cages and a Camelot teleport, a lockpick is recommended for those with a low Thieving level.
- Speak to Brian in the axe shop in Port Sarim. He is too worried about his friend, who is being convicted of a crime and deciding to go to the Wilderness to avoid trial, to sharpen your axe. Agree to help him by saying, "Ok, ok, I'll do it! I'll go and see Aggie." Brian will keep the axe for safekeeping, so make sure you give him the axe or you will be unable to proceed further.
- Speak to Aggie the witch in Draynor Village about being a witness. She will help you if you agree to find her apprentice, Jimmy the Chisel, who has gone missing looking for supplies.
- Go to the H.A.M. Hideout (east of Draynor Village). Go to the south-east corner, and speak to Johanhus Ulsbrecht regarding Jimmy, and ask, "And I suppose you need me to do you a favour?" He will let Jimmy go if you provide his cult with a month's supply of chickens; he suggests talking to Fred the Farmer.
- Exit the H.A.M. headquarters, and go north-east to Fred the Farmer's house (the house with a bucket and a water drop on the minimap). Talk to Fred the Farmer, who does not have enough chickens. He tells you to go to Seth Groats (located east on the other side of the river in the chicken coop across from the cow field).
- Tip: Before visiting Seth, drop by the cook's kitchen from Cook's Assistant, grab a bowl of water, and heat it on the stove. Get a pot too!
- Talk with Seth Groats. He wants you to give three steel bars to Horvik in Varrock to make some cages for the chickens.
- Speak with Horvik located in the armour shop north-east of Varrock Square. He is very ill and needs a herbal antidote and some pigeon cages to modify into chicken cages. (Take a cup of tea from the tea stall south-east of Horvik and Varrock East Bank, or wait until the druid part later.) Pigeon cages can be found in the garden behind Jerico's house, immediately south of the northern bank in East Ardougne. He says that you will need five of them.
- Go to the Apothecary in Varrock regarding Horvik's illness. He gives you the herbal tincture but drops the breathing salts. Agree to get a new airtight pot.
- Go to the Barbarian Village, and talk to Tassie Slipcast the potter. She is too worried to show you how to make an airtight pot because she is being pressured by a dwarf called Hammerspike Stoutbeard in the Dwarven Mines.
- Go to the Dwarven Mines. Head to the westernmost cave past the anvils until you see Hammerspike Stoutbeard surrounded by dwarf gang members. Ask him about Tassie Slipcast, and tell him, "Oh, come on...do something nice for Tassie." Then, ask him, "Have you always been a gangster?" He will tell you that he always wanted to be a druid.
- Go to Taverley, and talk with Sanfew, who is on the 1st floor[U.K. floor] of the central house with the herb icon. Ask him if he's taking any new initiates and accepts dwarves, and tell him that a dwarf you know wants to become one. He will allow Hammerspike to become a druid apprentice, but he wants you to give a Guthix rest tea to Captain Bleemadge on top of White Wolf Mountain and organise a trip for Sanfew down to the Feldip Hills.
- Use the bowl of hot water with an empty teacup (one spawns in the building north of Sanfew), add one harralander, two guam leaves and a marrentill. Once you have the tea, travel to the top of White Wolf Mountain. Speak to Captain Bleemadge, and give him the tea. He will want some T.R.A.S.H. (Triple Redundant Aero Super Hawsers) for the trip down to the Feldip Hills.
- Note: Low levels should be aware of white wolves while travelling on the mountain.
Items required: Coins, a Camelot teleport, an Ardougne teleport, a ring of dueling, a chisel and some extra jades, opals and red topazes, and sapphires.
- Travel to the general store south of Catherby bank, and speak to Arhein, who will ask for a weather report.
- Go to the house with the water droplet north of the church in Seers' Village, and speak to Phantuwti Fanstuwi Farsight, who is looking for a missing person and cannot do the weather forecast until she is found.
- Enter the cave south-east of the Fishing Guild entrance. Head north along the east wall until you come to a cave where Petra is trapped in rock. Right-click and search the sculpture to find a message saying to speak to Wizard Cromperty.
- Go to the north-east corner of Ardougne and speak to Wizard Cromperty about a girl stuck in some rock. He needs some iron oxide from a man in Port Khazard.
- Note: If you have yet to get the five pigeon cages, go to the house directly south of the northern bank in East Ardougne.
- Go to Port Khazard. A quick way to get to there is to use the Minigame Group Finder Fishing Trawler teleport. Alternatively, take the boat from South Ardougne to Brimhaven and then the charter boat to Port Khazard for 400 coins. Talk to Tindel Marchant on the southern dock, and he will want his stodgy mattress stuffed for the iron oxide.
- Go to the Feldip Hills (Fairy ring code aks, Feldip hills teleport or Ring of dueling to Castle Wars, or if you have 99 Hunter, you can teleport to the red chinchompas.), and talk to Rantz, who is located at the quest icon in eastern Feldip Hills. He cannot do it because there is a "small man" causing a disturbance which is scaring the chompy birds. Tell him that you'll see what you can do.
- Go west until you see a landing strip with a gnome. Talk to him, and he will tell you he needs to repair the landing strip. Search each of the eight landing lights for a gem, cut it, and put it back in the landing lights. The gnome can sell you a chisel and spare gems for 500 coins each if you happen to crush them. Do not allow the gems to despawn, as you will have to bank to retrieve new ones.
Completing the favoursEdit
Items required: A comfy mattress, iron oxide, an Ardougne teleport, an animate rock scroll, a good pickaxe/weapon, armour and some food, a Camelot teleport, a hammer, a bronze bar, an iron bar, a steel bar, the weather report, a Falador teleport, a pot, soft clay, an airtight pot, a Varrock teleport, breathing salts, the herbal tincture, 5 pigeon cages, a Lumbridge teleport, chicken cages, some means of transportation or teleportation to get back to Port Sarim and Shilo Village, a sharpened axe and red mahogany logs. Bring an extra piece of soft clay if you want to save some time during Swan Song later.
- Talk with Gnormadium to tell him the runway lights are fixed.
- Go back to Rantz to get the comfy mattress.
- Speak to Tindel in Port Khazard to get the iron oxide.
- Take the iron oxide to Wizard Cromperty in Ardougne, and he will give you an animate rock scroll.
- Next, you will need to fight a level 92 rock monster that is weak to crush attacks and uses Melee, so stop by the bank, get some food, and equip some decent armour and a weapon or pickaxe. Fighting with a pickaxe is recommended; however, low levels should use Magic from the safe spot shown above. It is also possible to fight the monster head on with just 1-2 prayer potion(s) and a pickaxe if you have at least 43 Prayer to use Protect from Melee.
- Head back to the Goblin Cave near the Fishing Guild, and hug the eastern wall until you come to the same room as before. Stand in front of the sculpture and use the animate rock scroll and kill the Slagilith. After killing him, stand back in front of the sculpture and read the scroll once more.
- The Slagilith has a maximum hit of 26, is hard to damage, and if you leave the room or take too long killing it, you will have to start the fight over. Travel back to the Goblin Cave south of Fishing Guild and cast the animation spell to begin the fight once again after defeating the Slagilith. Cast the spell in front of the rocks once again to release Petra.
- Note: A bug currently exists that allows you to kill the Slagilith using Ranged attacks with full damage by equipping the pickaxe you brought before the hitsplat appears. Using this, the fight takes significantly less time when using Magic or Ranged combat.
- Note: If it says, "You don't feel that you should cast this with enemies around", walk out of the room, and kill the bats around the entrance; then, return to the middle of the room and try again.
- Go to Seer's Village, and speak to Phantuwti. He now can't give you the weather report because his weather vane is broken. You'll have to threaten to run him through, and ask him, "Why can't you get a clear picture?" Then, ask, "Which special Seers tools do you need?" and "What do you mean?" Finally, he'll tell you about his weather vane. Climb the ladder, head east, and climb another ladder to the roof of his house (36 Agility required). Search the weather vane, use a hammer with the weather vane, and search it again to get three broken vane parts. Go to an anvil (closest is across the street) with a bronze, iron, and steel bar, and use the parts of the weather vane with the anvil (30 Smithing required). Go back to the roof of the house, and put the weathervane pillar, the directionals, and the ornament back on the weathervane. Talk to Phantuwti again for a weather report.
- Take the report to Arhein in Catherby, who will send somebody to send T.R.A.S.H. to Captain Bleemadge.
- Talk to Captain Bleemadge on top of White Wolf Mountain.
- Talk to Sanfew in Taverley, and he will agree to let the dwarf become an initiate.
- Talk to Hammerspike in the Dwarven Mine. He has changed his mind about becoming a druid, and his dwarven gang members will attack you. Defeat them to have Hammerspike agree to not harass Tassie.
- Go to Barbarian Village, and talk to Tassie, who will teach you how to make pot lids. Use the soft clay given to you on the wheel and then the unfired pot lid on the pottery oven. Another pot lid is needed for Swan Song, so you could make it now to save some time later.
- Go to the Apothecary in Varrock, and give him the pot in return for the salts.
- Go to Horvik, and give him the breathing salts, herbal tincture, and pigeon cages.
- Go to Seth (his farm is on the east side of the River Lum), and give him the chicken cages.
- Go to the H.A.M. headquarters, and tell Johanhus that you've managed to swing that chicken deal; he will agree to set Jimmy free.
- Go to Draynor Village, and talk with Aggie the witch, who will agree to help Brian.
- Go to Port Sarim, and tell Brian to get the sharpened axe.
- Go back to the forester outside Shilo Village, and you receive some red mahogany logs in exchange for the sharpened axe.
- Speak with Yanni in Shilo Village to complete the quest.
- 2 Quest points
- Two experience lamps giving 10,000 experience to any skill of your choice. Skill must be at least level 30.
- A steel key ring
- The ability to make Guthix rest tea
- The ability to craft pot lids
- Access to the gnome glider route to the Feldip Hills
Trivia Edit
- Hammerspike Stoutbeard's desire to be a druid may stem from Pikel Bouldershoulder, a dwarf druid from several of R.A. Salvatore's books.[3]
