Title: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion: Shivering Isles
01 - Walkthrough
By: Alienslof
Once the expansion is installed, wait a day. You will then be updated with a rumour of a strange doorway that has opened up.
Sure enough, a new marker has appeared out in the middle of Niben Bay, east of Bravil. Swimming or water walking is the only way to reach it. Once there, a large stone face dominates the island, with a blue glowing doorway in its mouth and surrounded by a few colourful characters. It's worth talking to them just for the entertainment value. An Imperial guardsman will warn you that people who go in there are either not seen again, or return 'changed' - in other words, mad. It's just a simple matter of stepping through.
Haskill asks you to sit and once you're comfortable, will explain that things are not going well in the Shivering Isles and the Mad God is seeking a mortal to become his champion.
Once you accept the job, the room disintegrates into a cloud of butterflies (rather a nice effect) and you find yourself sitting on the top of a hill looking down into a lush, mushroom-filled valley. In order to access the main part of the land, you must first pass through the Gates of Madness. These are guarded by the Gatekeeper.
Time to look into this, then.
Down the hill lies Passwall, a small hamlet of rickety shacks inhabited by a few people (all mad in one way or another). By talking to these folk, you can learn much about the Gatekeeper, and none of it nice. They speak of a party of adventurers who are going to attempt to take him on. You are treated to a nice little fight scene when you go to investigate. He kills all of them with ease.
Talking to the villagers will point you in the direction of Jayred Ice-Veins. He can be found wandering around, or in the small inn. Also, by talking to some of the people, you can learn that the keys to both Gates are in fact sewn up into the Gatekeeper's body - it looks like killing him is going to be the only way past.
Jayred does indeed have some interesting information. He explains that the Gatekeeper only has one weakness and that is to his own flesh and bone - or at least those from which he was created. He mentions the Gardens of Flesh and Bone and needing to get through a locked gate - once in there, he claims he can use some of the bones lying there to create special bone arrows that can be used against the monster.
Jayred will lead you off to the Garden once you tell him you're ready - all that's required is to follow him.
The lock is an easy one and once through the gate you are attacked by three Shambles, skeletal-type creatures made from bones tied together. In the centre of this courtyard lies the skeleton of a dead Gatekeeper. Jayred will retrieve the bone pieces he requires from this corpse.
Once a little time has passed, locate Jayred and he will give you a handful of the arrows and ask if you are ready to take on the creature. He will then follow you to Gates of Madness.
The arrows deal him a great deal of damage and with both of you shooting at him, he is quickly taken down. He's quite slow, though has a large stride - fortunately there is plenty of room to keep backing up while firing arrows at him.
At this point, I don't think it makes any difference which one you pass through, as both sides of the Shivering Isles lands are accessible. If I'm wrong, I'll amend this.
There is an alternative method for killing the Gatekeeper. In Passwall's tavern, The Drunken Wastrel, there's a woman there at night who brags about being the mother of the Gatekeeper. Relmyna Verenim tires of talking to you and directs you to her apprentice, Nanette.
Upon being persuaded, (bribe or butter her up) Nanette informs you that the Gatekeeper's mother's tears will hurt him, and that the mother visits the Gatekeeper every night around midnight. Follow her there, sneaking behind her, and draw close enough to hear her talking to the Gatekeeper.
She drops a handkerchief soaked with tears that you can pick up and get three doses of her tears, which are a potent poison that acts for 120 seconds on the Gatekeeper.
You can then get the bone arrows from Jayred or just poison a hand weapon and attack the Gatekeeper right then and there.
(Thanks to Henry F. Petrash for the alternative method.)
Once you reach New Sheoth, it's soon clear that just like the rest of this strange land, it is divided up into two, one side for Mania, known as Bliss and one side for Dementia, known as Crucible. Bliss is bright and colourful like the lands of Mania. Crucible is dark, dingy and brooding like Dementia's own land. Sheogorath's palace is also similarly divided, right up to his throne; clearly, the fellow is quite insane, with two sides to his madness. There you will find the Daedric Prince and Haskill, his advisor - the man you met first. Talking to Sheogorath is entertaining to say the least; but once you work through the nonsense, it soon becomes evident that he is worried for his realm, and looking for someone to be his champion and put everything to rights.
Namely you. He speaks of the coming of Jyggalag, the Prince of Order and this bodes ill for the Realm of Madness. He needs to get some defences back up to protect the realm and its subjects. The first line of defence is a magical one known as the Resonator of Judgement. The problem is that this device has been inactive for years and needs to be started up again.
Reading the manual and talking to Haskill will reveal several clues to achieving this goal.
It's quite a bit of a trek, especially as there are no horses in the Shivering Isles, though the destination of a miscellaneous quest is along the same route (see A Liquid Solution).
It's soon evident that the place has been in disuse for a long time, and is now home to a tribe of Grummites. These will object to your presence with violence. Pay special attention to the Grummite Shamen - in particular the staffs they carry.
I found each Shaman near to where the Focus Crystals needed to go, though they may move around a little depending on the fighting. Once placed, the crystal lights up. Same applies for the other two.
This is a large, grey shiny mass of angular crystals coming up through the floor. Activate this to complete the switching on of the Resonator. The first line of defence is now once more active.
However, before you return, you get to see this magical device in action. What's more, you have a hand in how it works. For the best and most entertaining experience of this, checking the manual is worthwhile. Once you start to head out of Xedilian, you bump into a man who seems to be the caretaker for the whole building. He can also offer advice and is worth talking to.
There are two choices to each of the next tasks, so I'll include the journal entries for each. One choice results in death for the hapless adventurers, the other results in them going insane. This is a good demonstration of how the Resonator works on the minds of invaders, and is how it dispenses its defence.
First one is a choice between one giant Gnarl creature or a horde of them. One is death, the other, insanity. Press the button of your choice at the sides of the viewing balcony.
Second up is a test of frustration for the unfortunate party. Who can resist the lure of such a large pile of treasure?
By the time you come to the last one, only the Orc is left alive. He's come this far - can he survive it?
Killiban explains that you are to receive the spoils of this little demonstration which he has taken from the now dead or insane adventurers.
Foremost among the items is a very special sword, one you probably saw the Orc carrying. Depending on what time it is, the sword will be named 'Duskfang' or 'Dawnfang'. Amongst the Orc's belongings is a note containing information about this sword, explaining how it transforms itself depending on night or day, and also its very special ability to upgrade itself. A particularly nice piece of kit!
As you make your way out of the building, you will be attacked by three shiny, angular beings. Kill all three.
Killiban does indeed know what they are. They are warriors of Jyggalag, known as Knights of Order. These are the beginning of his invasion of the Shivering Isles.
When you step outside there are more of them accompanied by a priest - as you kill them, he summons in more. To stop them, you must shut down the crystal thing they're popping out of. Like Oblivion gates, these will randomly pop out all over the Isles. As each Knight dies, take the Heart of Order he drops. Activate the crystal monolith thing and it will ask if you want to put in a Heart. It takes several but that seems to be the key to shutting them down. Only once the monolith is closed can the priest be killed - until then, he just gets back up.
Sheogorath seems pleased that you have Xedilian up and running. He decides that in order to fully understand the Realm of Madness, you should experience both sides. He tasks you with going to talk to the Duke and Duchess. Thadon is the Duke of Mania and Syl is the Duchess of Dementia. Each one will give you a task to complete that will broaden your understanding of madness.
These can be done in any order.
Thadon can often be found in his garden if he's not in the throne room. He explains that he's addicted to a substance called 'felldew' and he needs the Chalice of Reversal to cure himself of it. He feels that you should feel what being addicted to something is like for yourself - a voyage of enlightenment, if you will.
Thadon has no idea where it is, but asking around his staff yields results and a map marker. Wide-Eye the Argonian explains that it's in an Elytra lair called Dunroot Burrow.
There is only one way to get in, which is to ingest some felldew, which you can get from one of the burrow guards just outside.
As soon as you ingest this stuff, you begin to feel the addiction kicking in. While it lasts, some of the Elytra will ignore you as it works like a hormone, making you smell like one of them.
As you proceed through the Burrow, you can pick up more of the felldew, which will temporarily alleviate the withdrawal - however, each time you eat more, the effects wear off that much faster, the withdrawal becomes more severe and you need more and more in order just to function as your strength wanes.
The Burrow opens up into a ruined tower of a similar style to Xedilian. This has become home to several addicted people who will attack you on sight, worried that you are coming for their felldew supply. All you can do is kill them. In the centre of the top room is the Chalice you seek. Once you have possession of the Chalice, you feel your addiction fade - now you know why Thadon wants it!
Once you deliver the Chalice, Thadon shows his gratitude by granting you a place in his Court of Mania. A fake version of the Chalice appears on one of the plinths in Sheogorath's throne room, along with the Attenuator of Judgement display.
This quest all takes place around Crucible and the House of Dementia.
The House of Dementia is located at the opposite side of Sheogorath's throne room to the House of Mania. If Syl is not in her throne room, you can ask around for her likely whereabouts.
Once you meet Syl (another wood elf!), you quickly realise that she is paranoid. Everyone is conspiring against her, at least in her own mind. She grants you the title of 'Grand Inquisitor' and tasks you with rooting out any and all who might be conspiring against her. She tells you that she has a torturer and that you should take him with you for... interrogation purposes.
Herdir agrees to go with you and suggests that the best way to start getting information is to begin with those closest to Syl.
A bit of easy questioning soon starts revealing a name and giving you a definite place to start.
On finding Anya, she proves to be stubborn. This is where the fun starts.
Herdir is a particularly sadistic individual and will cheerfully torment anyone who appears to be stubborn. After a few tries, he will generally suggest which people have further information and those who don't. Once Anya is subjected to a bit of pain, she quickly opens up and starts naming names. She points you to a Khajiit called Ma'zaddha who is often seen wandering around Crucible's streets.
The Khajiit is made of sterner stuff and refuses to talk, saying that you will have to find evidence. Looks like you're back to questioning any and all.
The questioning does indeed reveal more. You find out that Ma'zaddha has been meeting one of the Seducer guards late at night. Perhaps a bit of eavesdropping is in order.
You need to be a bit careful here and make sure that you and Herdir are not spotted, or these two will clam up. Staying out of sight rewards you with an overheard conversation which reveals plotting. Seems that Syl's paranoia might be justified after all.
Confronted with the hard evidence, the Khajiit comes clean and spills the information of a plot to kill Lady Syl. Not only does he give you more info, but also asks for leniency if he acquires some names for you, buying himself some time. He asks you to give him a day to root out the necessary proof.
Nelrene proves to be especially stubborn and refuses to talk, even under extreme duress. No amount of torture will make her spill. She will need to be confronted with irrefutable evidence.
Upon reaching the Khajiit's house, the unfortunate cat is dead on the floor, obviously been silenced. Perhaps a search of his home will reveal more.
The evidence points to yet another person thus far not mentioned: a woman called Muurine. Time to go and talk to that Seducer again.
Presented with the proof, this time Nelrene talks, admitting her part in the conspiracy and fingering Muurine as the leader of the whole thing.
Armed with all this, it is time to confront this Muurine. It seems that she really is the main conspirator in all of this and challenges you to do your worst.
Syl is delighted with your work and arranges the execution of Muurine. She leads you straight off to the torture chamber.
Muurine is in the central cage and Herdir does the deed, killing her instantly. At last, Lady Syl can relax.
Once you return to Sheogorath, he tells you that you are going to stop the Greymarch, the name he gives to Jyggalag's invasion. First, however, you need to relight the Great Torch of New Sheoth in order to boost the flagging morale of the citizens. He also warns you that his Saints and Seducers are at each other's throats and care needs to be taken. Seems that Golden Saints and Dark Seducers hate each other!
Once you arrive at Cylarne, you are faced with a choice. The Golden Saints and Dark Seducers are at odds with each other and you are forced to choose sides, helping one or the other. I will cover each side separately.
You are informed that only a Golden Saint or Dark Seducer can light the Flame of Agnon.
She will tell you to speak with Kaneh, the commander of the Golden Saints as she will have the details of what their plans are.
When you approach Kaneh, you can catch an argument between her and a male about what is the best plan of attack. She wants a direct attack, but he is arguing that there is a more subtle approach that means less resistance. You can choose the direct route and go with Kaneh's plan or check out what else the male, Mirel, has to say.
Mirel knows of a little-used side passage that leads to the Altar of Despair through something known as the Underdeep. He reckons this will allow the Saints to take the Seducers by surprise, with probably fewer losses. Kaneh is not convinced. At this point you can offer to scout it out and see if Mirel is right.
It seems that the male is right after all, and the Underdeep is only lightly guarded by the Dark Seducers. They seem convinced that the Saints won't come this way. All the more reason to do it this way!
Kaneh is convinced that this might be the better route after all and asks for your help in defeating the Seducers.
At this point you can talk to the Dark Seducer commander before making your final decision with which you ally yourself.
Once you agree to side with the Golden Saints, the attack is on. It comes to a halt when a gate bars the way. There must be a switch somewhere, but the commander explains that there are traps that would cut her forces down; getting through the gate is the better option.
The other side of the gate is only lightly defended and once cleared, you can activate the switch. The Golden Saints will rush through as the gate opens, and continue their attack.
The fight is quickly over, the Saints gaining the upper hand with your help.
Kaneh explains that the only way to light the flame is for a Golden Saint to sacrifice herself on the Altar of Despair.
She steps into a circular depression in the floor and is rapidly consumed by magical fire. The Flame of Agnon is now lit. You need to collect this from the courtyard and carry it back to New Sheoth.
Ulfri needs to know what the Golden Saint battle plans are, so it's worth talking to both sides before deciding which one to ally yourself with.
The Dark Seducer commander suggests talking to the Golden Saint commander to find out what their battle plans are. When you approach Kaneh, you can catch an argument between her and a male about what is the best plan of attack. She wants a direct attack, but he is arguing that there is a more subtle approach that means less resistance. You can choose the direct route and go with Kaneh's plan or check out what else the male, Mirel, has to say.
Mirel knows of a little-used side passage that leads to the Altar of Despair through something known as the Underdeep. He reckons this will allow the Saints to take the Seducers by surprise, with probably fewer losses. Kaneh is not convinced. At this point you can offer to scout it out and see if Mirel is right.
It seems that the male is right after all, and the Underdeep is only lightly guarded by the Dark Seducers. They seem convinced that the Saints won't come this way. You can then convince the Saints to take this lightly-defended route.
Having spoken to both, you can now also choose to betray one to the other. Speak to Ulfri again to tell her about the Underdeep passage.
Once your decision to betray the Golden Saints is made, head back to Kaneh and tell her about the Underdeep - you will need to lie here to convince her. Believing you to be on their side, the Golden Saints begin their attack into the Underdeep where they are taken by surprise by the waiting Seducers. At this point they realise you just set them up and you are now the enemy!
Once the Saints are all dead, speak to Ulfri again.
This involves stepping into the dual-coloured flame in the courtyard. As soon as you step into it, you burst into flame - this doesn't cause any damage and is rather a funky effect! It's one way of carrying a fire back!
When you reach the Sacellum, you will be approached by one or other of the priests there, and they will try to convince you to light the Mania or Dementia side. The choice is yours - you can light one or the other. Once this is done, speak to the relevant priest for your choice and he will reward you.
Now this is done, you need to go back and talk to Sheogorath.
Sheogorath breaks the news that you are to replace one of the sovereigns of the Houses of Mania or Dementia.
Regardless of your eventual decision, speak to both priests who will describe how it's usually done for that House. Both provide useful clues for how to proceed with your choice.
This is the time to make your choice. Once you've decided, speak to Sheogorath to tell him which you have chosen. You can only choose one, so pick your side carefully - there is no going back!
First you need to make a few enquiries about Thadon's court to give you an idea of what to do and how to start.
It doesn't matter who you ask - anyone in New Sheoth will know, and you are soon pointed in the direction of Wide-Eye, Thadon's Argonian steward. She's usually in the House of Mania and its grounds or wandering around New Sheoth.
You will need to butter her up either by persuasion, bribery or charm spells to get her to talk. Once you have her disposition up high enough (requires a minimum of 70), she will gladly tell you something of her daily routine. She explains that Thadon likes a little dose of a drug called Greenmote in his evening meal. She stores it in a hidden silo that only she and Thadon know the location of. No amount of bribery or chatting her up will make her tell you where she keeps the store of the stuff.
At noon, she sets off to collect the dose of Greenmote for Thadon's food. Follow at a discreet distance to see where she goes.
She heads to an unremarkable statue in an alcove in one corner of the Palace grounds, and when she activates it, the statue sinks into the ground revealing a ladder down. You're not supposed to be in there, so you will have to sneak.
This involves quite a bit of creeping around as the silo is well-populated with Golden Saint guards who will arrest you if they see you. Some chameleon or invisibility will help here, plus taking off any heavy footwear will also be beneficial. The pile of Greenmote is obvious and you will know when you find it. Retrieve two portions from the pile, then sneak back out, taking care not to be seen.
Thadon's kitchen is likewise crawling with guards, so more sneaking is required. The meal is on a tray on a table, all set out and ready to be taken to his dining room. Put one dose in the food, and the other in his wine (labelled 'Thadon's Wine'). Now you just have to wait for him to eat it.
Once you're out of the kitchen, you no longer need to sneak - the deed is done and no one is any the wiser.
He reads a bit of poetry then starts spluttering, before falling down stone-dead.
You can now collect his blood (and loot the body for some good stuff while you're at it!) and take it to the Altar of Arden-Sul.
The church has been decorated up while you've been gone - in a somewhat gruesome way, blood everywhere, etc - just activate the Altar when you arrive there to finalise the ritual. Once that is done, Dervenin will proclaim you Duke or Duchess of Mania.
As you speak to Sheogorath, you are interrupted by a furious Syl, the Duchess of Dementia, who is not happy about your recent promotion. After an argument, she storms out and defects to the side of Order, throwing in her lot with the enemy.
First you need to make a few enquiries about Syl's court to give you an idea of what to do and how to start.
Despite unearthing the plot against Syl from before, it seems that she is still completely paranoid - again, not without reason - and has shut herself away. You will need to convince her staff to say where she is. Again, you will need to butter them up, both Anya and Kithlan to a disposition of 70 before they will agree to help you.
Anya agrees to create a distraction to turn the attention of the Seducer guards away from you to allow you to get into Syl's chambers. You need to talk to Kithlan as well to get the key.
Kithlan seems a little more eager to help - seems he's grown tired of Syl's paranoia, and is hoping you might be less of a tyrant.
When you sneak into her room, she's lying on the bed. Should be an easy kill...
However, as soon as you approach the bed, Kithlan runs up to you and stops you before you can take a swing at Syl's sleeping form. It seems that the sleeping woman is not Syl at all, but a look-alike planted by her to act as a decoy. Kithlan explains that the real Syl has fled into a secret passage that will allow her to escape from the Palace.
The door is in one corner of Syl's private garden - like the door to the secret Greenmote silo, this one is also concealed underneath a statue of Sheogorath.
The passageways are trapped and patrolled by Syl's elite guard so you will need to sneak past or kill them while avoiding the traps. Once you are past the traps, there is a switch on the wall that turns them off. You'll be coming back this way, so it's worth switching them off.
Syl makes her stand in the last room, surrounded by her Seducer guards and will attack you when she sees you.
Once she's dead, you can remove her heart and anything else of value. This needs to be taken back to the Sacellum.
Once the heart is placed on the Altar, Arctus will proclaim you Duke or Duchess of Dementia.
As you speak to Sheogorath, you are interrupted by a furious Thadon, the Duke of Mania, who is not happy about your recent promotion. After an argument, he storms out and defects to the side of Order, throwing in his lot with the enemy.
Some journal entries vary from here, depending on which side you're on, so I will list both. The tasks are the same, regardless.
When you arrive, the Fringe is completely changed, the vibrant mushrooms replaced by a barren landscape dotted with the silvery crystals that are no doubt now familiar.
Once you go further in and reach Passwall, you find a group of guards milling around, jumping into action each time a new group of Knights spawns in. Talk to the commander of the guards (Saints or Seducers depending on your allegiance) to find out what's going on.
You can issue orders yourself or let the commander do it, whichever you prefer, and also administer any healing as needed. As soon as you announce you're ready, the battle is on and more Knights of order start spawning in.
Once they're all dead, you can heal up and prepare up again. The Knights will just keep on coming and will have to be stopped some other way. Speak again to the commander for any suggestions she can offer.
She speaks of something that is powering the spire in Passwall that keeps popping out more Knights. Attacking the spire directly doesn't work, but eliminating its power source should. She suggests keeping the Knights distracted while you slip into the nearby ruin of Xeddefen and try to shut it down from there.
Xeddefen is just a short way up the road between Passwall and the gate to Cyrodiil. Chances are that it's familiar if explored previously.
You will meet some resistance both outside and inside the ruin. You will need to kill them all to proceed.
The self-proclaimed Mayor of Passwall is in there too, having hidden away from the Knights as they attacked. He mentioned the obelisk is obvious when you find it, and it is guarded by several Knights and a Priest of Order.
If you have encountered any of the other obelisks dotted around the Shivering Isles you will likely be familiar with the procedure here. Loot the Hearts of Order from dead Knights, then feed these into the obelisk until it overloads.
Getting out requires a bit of caution as you go as the place begins to collapse around you and it's easy to get yourself crushed under falling rubble.
Once you reach Passwall, you will find all the Knights dead and peace reigning once more. You now need to let Sheogorath know that things have been settled.
Now that Passwall and the Fringe have been taken back, Sheogorath wants his Gatekeeper rebuilt to keep out any more attacks from Knights of Order. He asks that you talk to Relmyna Verenim about how to go about this; you may remember her from the beginning when you were killing the first one.
Relmyna can be found in Xaselm which is all the way back almost from where you returned; Xaselm is just outside the walls of the Fringe.
She agrees to help you rebuild her 'baby', but first she needs some components with which to work the magic that creates a Gatekeeper. You are tasked with collecting these from the Gardens of Flesh and Bone, the place you visited previously to get the bone required for arrows. She tells you the items she needs.
There are a lot of undead and flesh atronachs down here, but the places that you collect the stuff from are fairly obvious once you see them. Click once on the location to get the items you require.
This is a relatively unpopulated area and if you're observant, you will see that the green clouds of mist are taking a specific direction. Following these will lead you right to the point from where the Breath is collected.
Once you have all four items, it is time to go back to Relmyna.
Now you have the rather gruesome task of selecting the body parts needed to make the Gatekeeper's physical form. You have a few choices here and can customise him to a degree. All the parts are neatly displayed on hooks like in a butcher's shop and you only need one of each piece.
Once you have enough parts to make him, it's time to return to Relmyna again.
Once she's satisfied that you have everything, she tells you to meet her by the statue of Sheogorath where the circular depression in the paved terrace is. She sets off immediately, so you can either follow her or meet up with her later.
Once there, she will initiate dialogue with you and give you all the instructions you need.
You are thrust into a cut scene of sorts, and she will tell you what she needs when she needs it. Simply activate the swirling stuff in the circle to put stuff in. No thought is needed here!
Once the Gatekeeper is ready, he steps out of the swirling magic, ready to take up his predecessor's old job.
Some Knights of Order show up and he will immediately attack them. Your work here is complete and you can return to Sheogorath.
*Note: If you have any companions with you, he will likely become hostile towards them, so it may be worth leaving them somewhere safe during this.
Sheogorath is pleased with your efforts and reveals a little more about who and what Jyggalag is.
By: Alienslof
While wandering around Bliss (the Mania side of New Sheoth), you will soon bump into this cheerfully-garbed fellow:
He introduces himself as Amiable Fanriene and he's tired, having not slept for days. He can't sleep, as he fears the walls are going to come crashing down onto him, so he is looking for a good place to sleep outdoors. Asking around the few beggars would be the most logical choice.
You are soon directed to a beggar called Uungor who has made it known that he wants to move on, which means his sleeping place is up for grabs.
There are several ways in which to complete this. You can either butter him up or kill him. If you choose to gain his trust there are two ways this can be done. One is the standard bribe/persuade method, and the other is a little more entertaining.
Once you realise you need to persuade Uungor to cooperate, you can talk to some of the other beggars, who will point you to a wood elf called Fimmion who seems to have some kind of a connection to Uungor. Fimmion will tell you how to persuade Uungor - Fimmion has something of a sweet tooth and will ask for a sweetroll in exchange for the info. Give him the sweetroll (if you have one, otherwise no info!), and he will give you some 'lucky' glass grapes - which he stole from Uungor. Giving them back to Uungor will make him much more amenable to talking about switching beds.
Uungor is thrilled to have his lucky grapes back and now will gladly switch beds with Amiable. Somehow I think he got the best of the deal there.
Amiable is very pleased about his new sleeping arrangements, and with a little prompting, is glad to hand over the reward, eager to finally have somewhere he feels safe enough to sleep.
On your travels in the Shivering Isles, you will probably chance upon an odd hamlet called 'Split'. A bit of exploration will soon reveal an oddity (in the Shivering Isles, how strange!): everything and everyone seems to be doubled. The village is divided by an archway, and the houses and people all resemble each other. By talking to the residents, you soon realise that they are indeed doubled. One side is demented, the other manic. This is one of those quests where you can side with one or the other.
Talking to Horkvir puts a little more clarity on things. The people are tired of their doubles and he asks you to kill the ones on the other side. Depending on which Horkvir you talk to, you are asked to kill the manic or the demented doubles.
Be careful which ones you kill. Both doubles will be dressed slightly differently, the manic side will be in brighter colours, the demented in duller apparel. I found it easiest to stay on one side and take them while they were in their homes to avoid killing the wrong one. Killing any of the wrong side will forfeit the reward.
I've only included the entries for killing the demented doubles for reference.
When you have killed all five of the doubles, you will be informed of it.
Horkvir is relieved that they are all dead and life can return to normal. Nothing more disconcerting than seeing yourself walking around.
While in Crucible, you will eventually bump into a depressed fellow who asks you to meet him after dark to discuss a proposition.
Once you meet up with him, he asks you to do him the favour of killing him as he is tired and feels like has has little left to bother living for. The trick is, he doesn't want to see it coming! As a reward, he said you could take whatever was in his house of any worth, especially some stuff he keeps in a locked jewelry box.
I noticed that he likes to stand on the corner ledge of the steps that lead up to the Palace, so spoke to him while he was there. During a fairly normal dialogue with him, I was given the option to push him off, so that's just what I did! Didn't see that coming, did you? Splat!
Rather amusingly, after you push him off, the Seducer guard on duty nearby remarks: 'Someone really ought to put up a rail. That sort of thing happens all the time.'
Searching his body does indeed yield a key.
There is a useful ring hidden in the box that is worth a fair bit and has some handy enchantments on it. Especially good for shopping or interacting with other people as it has a good fortify personality on it.
If you frequent an inn called 'Sickly Bernice's Taphouse' you will have no doubt run into 'Sickly' Bernice herself. She does indeed sound like she is ill. She is convinced that she's slowly dying, but one of her former patrons told her of a cure for her malady in return for a bed for the night.
She explains that the man told her that there is a cure, but it lies out of her reach and she's since been waiting for the right adventurer type to come along. She appeals to you for help in this matter and tells you where he'd said the cure could be found. Apparently, it is water called aquanostrum which can be found nowhere else but this tunnel system known as Knotty Bramble. If you agree to go, she will give you a special bottle to collect it in.
Knotty Bramble is along the route to Xedilian, so if you have both quests, they can be done while you're out on the same trip. Knotty Bramble is the lair of a tribe of Grummites and they will not be pleased at your trespassing.
The aquanostrum is at the bottom of the Grummite hatchery and at the centre stands a statue. Here is where you will find the aquanostrum. To collect it, all you have to do is walk up to the statue.
Once you get close, you will get a prompt that informs you that your bottle is filled.
Sickly Bernice is grateful for the cure. Funnily, it doesn't seem to rid her of her cough!
If you return to see Sickly Bernice later on, she will ask you to get her some more, claiming the cure has worn off - it seems to be not so much a cure as something that simply alleviates the symptoms for a while.
The Fork of Horripilation: Those who have played Morrowind will no doubt remember a particular Argonian called Big Head and his Fork of Horripilation, which was part of the Daedric quest for Sheogorath.
Big Head now resides in Bliss and not unsurprisingly has lost the Fork of Horripilation. This fellow has a bit of a fork fixation going on and asks you to return the Fork. The problem is, he has no idea where it is. However, he does know someone who might know whereabouts to look for it and points you to a beggar called Bolwing. He gives you a charm which allows you to understand what Bolwing is saying, as the fellow talks gibberish otherwise.
Bolwing explains that the Fork is an item of contention between two rival groups: Heretics and Zealots. There is no easy way to find the Fork - it could be in the possession of either group.
The best places to look for Heretics or Zealots are the little camps dotted around the Shivering Isles. It's even possible you already have the Fork if you had been looting these along the way to New Sheoth (as happened to me). Once you have the fork, you need to give it to Big Head.
*Important Note: There can sometimes be a bit of a problem with Big Head getting himself killed and thus meaning that you can't complete this quest. He has a bad habit of stealing forks, and this can get him into trouble with the guards. This can be avoided by finding the Fork of Horripilation first before talking to Big Head. For PC users, there are a number of mods that make his death less likely, either by making him an essential character (god mode) or by making his sneak skills better and thus less likely to be caught by the guards.
Big Head is delighted to have the Fork back in his possession, You get a big boost in disposition and he will offer to teach you a secret - one of three skill choices. You can pick any of the three.

Why tediously record notes on paper when you can type them? Is it necessary to email work to someone when you can just give them your flash drive? And why use the dictionaries in your English class when Google operates in a matter of seconds?
While [email protected] emphasizes the use of technology to as paramount, CHS also inhibits an increasing reliance on Macs and smartphones. Freshman year, I had maybe one or two teachers who weren't finicky about electronics-the others were not afraid to keep it for the rest of the day, maybe even send it to the office. My junior year has blessed me with the privilege of having a schedule that only consists with cell-phone friendly teachers. However I do not believe it is luck, it is more so the result of an evolving culture permeating through CHS walls.
Students like me can agree that phones serve more purposes besides texting. Teens are considered 'natives' to technology though, and adults are dubbed the 'pioneers.' Therefore, their understanding of smartphones and other resources will take experience and patience. It is probable that next year will be even more of advancement for CHS.

Kiana Tom
Host of her own fitness show on television, she is also venturing into the movie business with a role in Universal Soldier: The Return.
AppealWe love Hawaiian women (refer to Hoku) their exotic looks are a welcome change to the standard blonde, blue-eyed bikini model. Kiana could just as easily be a beauty queen as she can be an aerobics world champion.
SuccessWith her own show still doing very well, and with her fame at its pinnacle right now, Kiana is on cruise control and is likely to use her celebrity to get some more acting roles in action movies.
Utter the phrase "that Hawaiian babe who does the fitness show," and any red-blooded American (or European, Canadian, African, etc. with a satellite dish) will instantly flash a smile of recognition and approval.
Kiana Tom BiographyKiana Tom was born in Hawaii, but was raised in Southern California after her parents relocated to California when Kiana was young. Part Hawaiian, Chinese and Irish, Kiana's name is Hawaiian for "calm water". The daughter of physical education teacher Marilynn and child actor Richard Layne, Kiana grew up in an environment that was conducive to her present athletic lifestyle and inspired her to exercise and stay in shape.
Her mother encouraged her to play sports even at a young age, while the other girls her age were playing with dolls. This was not the only thing that made Kiana very different from her classmates; she was always the one in class with dark features, while her classmates were all blonde-haired and blue-eyed.
By the time she was 7 years old, Kiana was playing tennis and skiing. Participating in sports was not enough for her to feel fit, so she began weight training with the goal of becoming stronger and more muscular, and to improve her forehand and backhand while on her high school tennis team.
Once Kiana began weightlifting, her newfound physique helped in more ways than one. She became a model and used her paychecks for a college education at UCLA.
Her work with ESPN all began when she answered an audition notice for the show Body Shaping. She was hired as an assistant to the show's host, Cory Everson, where she would move from assistant to co-host with Rick Valenti after Everson's departure.
After 6 years on the show, Kiana felt it was time to put her ideas regarding fitness and exercise to use, after not having much of a voice on Body Shaping. She went on to create, host and produce ESPN2's most popular fitness shows, Kiana's Flex Appeal and Too Fit 2 Quit!.
Having won 2 bodybuilding contests before promoting her new approach towards fitness, and with muscles that would put the WWF's Trish Stratus to shame, it's no wonder that Kiana has become a fitness guru that is revered by women -- not to mention desired by men. Kiana's Flex Appeal has become one of the network's highest-rated shows and one of the most regularly-watched workout shows in history -- not a difficult feat considering the show is aired in more than 60 million homes.
Previously hailed by Entertainment Weekly as one of the "Top 10 Cable Shows To Watch This Summer," Kiana's Flex Appeal gains its appeal by promoting the idea that workouts need to be fun, with a lifestyle approach to working out.
Putting her weights aside, Kiana appeared in 1995's Cyber Bandits, as well as co-starred in 1999's Universal Soldier: The Return, as Jean-Claude Van Damme's sidekick. She has also appeared on the small screen, with a guest-appearance on The Drew Carey Show, and as a celebrity on the television game show Pictionary.
Besides her additional hosting duties for other ESPN shows (such as the Fitness America Pageant Series), more of Kiana's projects include her book entitled Kiana's Body Sculpting, in collaboration with Jim Rosenthal; a new series of Kiana Fitness Videos and audio tapes; a new line of active wear; and the foundation of her company, Kiana Tom Productions, Inc.
Recipient of the United States Sports Academy Eisenhower Award (fellow heavyweights Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, as well as fellow fitness guru Jane Fonda are previous recipients) and promoter of a popular, fun and realistic approach to health and fitness, it's no wonder that Kiana has achieved all her success -- and then some.

Sks or not
Want an ar but with current prices its no option have recently had the option to acquire an sks good gun?? Let me know!!
It's what I want to get instead of an AR.
I think the SKS is one of the most under rated rifles currently available. They are built like a tank, run a simple piston system. And can be operated by most anybody.
They are like an AK in the aspect that they fling empty shells a country mile upon ejection. So as long as you don't plan to use brass cases and reload them. You are good to go. Plus there is a decent after market for parts out there for them. I just prefer mine in stock form.
So come on a join the SKS club.
I just recently upgraded an sks for a friend, I was very impressed with its performance. They're definitely a great option.
The sks is a fun gun to shoot and very reliable. The 7.62x39 round has decent power and not any harder to reload for. I have a yugo and chinese both. They both eat about any ammo I toss into them brass case, steel case doesn't matter. I converted both of mine to use a detachable mag. Not hard at all. Easy to clean easy to fix. I actualy prefer to shoot them over my AK.
Keep in mind though, 7.62x39 is becoming just as hard to find as 223 right now
Stocks are low in everything. I'm getting ready to sell some 20 year old .22LR for a tidy profit. I was offered 30 bucks for 500 rounds.
Very true, but even though all ammo is scarce right now, nothing has reached a premium quite as much as military based ammunition
And good luck finding .45ACP in my town.

Hospitals Take the Lead in Push for Medicaid Expansion
For years, hospitals have complained about low Medicaid payment rates. Now hospital associations are leading the fight to expand Medicaid to millions of low-income adults in two dozen states that have yet to embrace expansion.
Steve Ahnen
President of the New Hampshire Hospital Association
Medicaid is no longer a dirty word in hospital boardrooms.
"Right now, someone is sitting in an emergency room because they didn't have coverage," said Steve Ahnen, president of the New Hampshire Hospital Association, last week after NH lawmakers cleared the path to Medicaid expansion in the Granite State by approving a Senate bill that resolved a yearlong political struggle over Medicaid expansion. "The ability to resolve that is to get people covered."
Ahnen says NH hospitals have been feeling the pinch from uncompensated care that totaled $425 million in 2013. "We believe [Medicaid expansion] will have a significant impact on relieving that burden," he said.
Medicaid Expansion, Payer Oversight Seen as Vital to Healthcare Reform
New Hampshire joins several states including Arkansas and Iowa that have chosen to expand Medicaid to income-eligible adults under the age of 65 through the new health insurance exchanges. As opposed to a straightforward expansion of a state's existing Medicaid program, the "premium-based model" allows states to use federal Medicaid expansion dollars to help low-income individuals fund the purchase of health insurance policies on the exchanges.

This has insane potential.
If you gave your kick and snare more punch, and took some grimeyness out out that bassline, or integrated other basses it could be a heavy track. Right now it feels like it's lacking variety and umph.
But everything else is wonderful. The 70's feel, the instruments and synths. One day you should revisit this song because I can feel this song could be a big track, :D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I love it. Nice vocals with the drop. I would add a heavy pad with the madness though. Good job.
Appreciate the review, Skull!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Great song. And just saying if you wanna complain bout the repetitive lyrics. The original song's wouldn't fit this at all.
Thank you!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Congrats. You are now the second dubstep song that I don't despise. I love the opening. That 70s action show feel was intensified by the beats you added. The original is a great on it's own and you gave it a new life. Excellent.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Very byootiful Spacecat! So nice to listen to and the bass pounds just right.
thanks for the review! you were the first to post a good review for this song, and now it's Featured Content! very much appreciated, my friend! all the best to you. -Medic

The Minnesota Wild missed the playoffs for a 4th season in a row, but that doesn't mean there is not quality Wild-related hockey still to watch. There are a small number of prospects battling their way through their respective league playoffs that should give Wild fans more than enough reason to check up on their progress. There is one Wild prospect so far that can say his team won a league championship, and no I'm not talking about the Golden Gophers' Erik Haula. I'm talking about Mario Lucia who had a fantastic season with the Penticton Vees of the British Columbia Hockey League (Jr. A). The Vees were a Minnesota-powered offensive juggernaut which mauled most of their competition with an incredible depth of firepower. Penticton dominated the 2011-12 regular season, which included a record breaking 42-game winning streak. No team in junior hockey history has ever won that many consecutive games. In the playoffs, the Vees had it a bit tougher but Penticton still rolled to a series sweep of the Powell River Kings in the BCHL Championship. Yet, the Fred Page Cup Champions' season is still not over. The Vees next opponent are the winners of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, the Brooks Bandits as they battle for the Doyle Cup. This best of seven series will start April 20th.
Penticton Vees (Mario Lucia, 2nd row, 4th from left)
The Vees are not the only team with meaningful hockey left to be played. The Wild's American Hockey League affiliate the Houston Aeros understand just how slight their chance of qualifying for the post-season was. How slight was it? Try 2 3/8ths inches. That is the width of an NHL goal post, and in the Aeros' last game of the regular season against the Texas Stars that 2 3/8ths inches was all that was kept the Stars' Tomas Vincour's shot from finding the twine in the closing seconds of the game allowing Houston to sneak into the AHL post-season. The Aeros should also send its arch rival, the Milwaukee Admirals a nice thank you card for their generous 6-1 defeat of the Charlotte Checkers that gave Houston a chance to make it in the first place. If Vincour is just an inch or two inside on his shot we could be talking about the Aeros' season being over already. Making the AHL playoffs means the Wild's young players get at least 3 more guaranteed games to hone their game. Houston's reward for barely making the playoffs is a first round series (best of 5) against the Oklahoma City Barons, a division rival who more or less owned the Aeros throughout the regular season. So how well do the Aeros match up?

2. #1 David LeNeveu (18-12-3) 2.24GAA .918%SP
On paper, the Aeros look like a pretty good match for the Barons who are the AHL affiliate of the Edmonton Oilers. And when you consider the Aeros are more or less completely healthy and have some slight upgrades in its defense with Nate Prosser and up front with Brett Bulmer and Nick Palmieri there is reason to believe this could be a much tougher series than the #1 vs. #8 match up that it is. Working in the Barons' favor is scoring depth and some tremendous experience in AHL veterans Ryan Keller (who won a Calder Cup last year against the Aeros as a key member of the Binghamton Senators) and Bryan Helmer who at age 40 brings perspective to a club that has a good blend of youth and seasoned veterans. Keller, Mark Arcobello and Phillippe Cornet are the offensive workhorses, and Corney especially has had some of his best gaimes against the Aeros so I think its without question he'll be shadowed rather closely. Defensively the Barons are led by Helmer but have a number Oilers' prospects on its blueline including Taylor Chorney, and big bodied bruisers in Alex Plante and Colten Teubert. The Oilers have a few forward prospects that will be looked to raise their game despite underwhelming performances in the regular season from Centennial High School's Tyler Pitlick and Magnus Paajarvi whose game seems to be in limbo right now.
Meanwhile the Aeros are going to need its veterans like Jon DiSalvatore and Jeff Taffe to raise their game and it certainly wouldn't hurt if some of Houston's younger core which includes Bulmer, Palmieri, Chad Rau, Justin Fontaine but also Kris Foucault and Joel Broda who both were pretty clutch through the month of April thus far. Foucault usually saves his best performances for the post-season as he was a playoff stud for the Calgary Hitmen. On the blueline, Chay Genoway is the engine that makes the Aeros' offense go as he makes an excellent first pass to start the rush. Prosser and fellow Colorado College alum Kris Fredheim along with seasoned vet and physical force Drew Bagnall will be looked to, to stabilize the Aeros' zone to sweep away any rebounds Matt Hackett may give up. Hackett must play very well for the Aeros to have a chance in this series and he could be the x-factor if Houston manages to pull off the upset. Hackett has proven he can carry this team a long way as evidenced by last year's run to the Calder Cup finals. So hopefully the team can rally around their goaltender to make another long run through the AHL playoffs. The best of 5 series starts Thursday in Houston at 7:05PM CST.
Saint John's Charlie Coyle
With the possible exception of the Penticton Vees, Wild fans' most likely successful playoff run is that of the Saint John Sea Dogs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League as they are led by two prospects in Zack Phillips and Charlie Coyle. And to say that Coyle and Phillips are leading the way could almost be construed as not giving these two enough credit. The Sea Dogs are absolutely destroying their competition, having swept both Cape Breton and Baie-Comeau respectively. Saint John overpowered both the Screaming Eagles and Drakkar with ease meaning they have spent the week patiently awaiting the outcome of the series between Chicoutimi and Shawinigan which is winding down to a decisive Game 7. Phillips and Coye have both been incredible and are #1 and #2 in playoff scoring. The 6'1″ Phillips has 6 goals 23 points in 8 games, while Coyle has 11 goals and 21 points in 8 games. The Sea Dogs are hoping to win their 2nd straight QMJHL title and have a chance to repeat as Memorial Cup Champions and barring some unforeseen challenger I think they have to be considered the odds on favorite. When you consider their team sports four 1st round picks (Jonathan Huberdeau, Nathan Beaulieu, Charlie Coyle, Zack Phillips) and a number of other NHL drafted players the Sea Dogs simply possess the incredible depth that very few teams in major junior can even come close to.
Ottawa 67's Tyler Graovac
Coyle and Phillips are not the only Wild prospects in major junior still playing. Tyler Graovac of the Ottawa 67's is re-establishing himself after a tough injury-filled season. The 6'4″ 190lbs center has found his scoring touch again as the 67's are rallying back against a tough Barrie Colts squad. The Brampton, Ontario-native has 3 goals, 7 points in 12 games. Most of those points have come in this most recent series against Barrie. We will see how this series ends Tuesday night as Graovac and the 67's hope to pull off the improbable comeback.
Brynas' Johan Larsson
Meanwhile in Europe, the Wild have to be excited about the strong play of Eliteserien Rookie of the Year Johan Larsson. Brynas is battling Skelleftea in the Eliteserien championship and currently Brynas has its opponent on the ropes with a 3-1 lead in the 7 game series. The Lau, Sweden-native has been logging important minutes and has chipped in a goal and 7 points in 14 games.
So there is plenty of Wild relevant hockey games still being played. Sure its not the same as having the hometown club in the playoffs, but there are still lots of good things happening for many future contributors of this franchise. Definitely something to pay attention to!

Khannouchi Seeks US Citizenship for Olympic Bid
The Moroccan athlete, Khalid Khannouchi is seeking to obtain American citizenship, as it will enable him to compete in US Olympic men's marathon, which will take place on 7th of may in Pittsburgh.
Khannouchi's lawyer told the AFP that the world marathon record-holder is standing a "very good chance" of getting the American citizen, which is expected within a week according to the lawyer's expectation.
The champion finished third in the London Marathon 11 days ago, and aggravated a sore right hamstring and sprained right ankle in the race. He is recovering in Ireland with a trainer.

SPX: Follow Up of The Triple Zig Zag Elliott Wave Count
Since next Friday I am heading to the beach for at least 4 weeks this is probably my last update until mid August.
As I have discussed in my last update on June 8 on the subject of the long-term Elliott Wave count (From the March 2009 low) I am considering that price is unfolding a Triple Zig Zag.
If this scenario is correct from the October 2013 low price should unfold a Zig Zag (ABZ) with a theoretical 1.618 extension target located at 2066.
We have the same issue I discussed regarding the up leg from the October 2013 low to the January high, which is clearly corrective. Once again the up leg from the February 7 low is also corrective therefore since the last wave (Z) must be impulsive the absence of impulsiveness should result in an Ending Diagonal.
If as it seems probable but it is not confirmed yet, that on July 4 price has concluded with a corrective pattern the advance from the February 7 low a wave (II) pullback should bottom in the range 1900 (Weekly gap fill) - 1883 (March 7 high; last breakout).
Therefore if this scenario is correct in the coming weeks price will undertake a shallow correction.
The significant drop of the NYSE Summation Index, which issued on July 7 a sell signal, has brought its RSI almost at the oversold line strengthening the idea that price should be involved in a "mild" correction.
If I am wrong we know where the line in the sand is located since in order to expect a new bear cycle price has to breach the 10 mma (Monthly close), which today stands at 1866.
Going back to the Elliott Wave pattern of the advance from the February 5 low I have labelled it as a Triple Zig Zag. If it is done price will have to breach the accelerated trend line support from the April 11 low and the 50 d ma which today stands at 1927. If this is the case the potential target box for the assumed wave (II) of the Ending Diagonal scenario should be located in the range 1900 (Gap fill) - 1867 (150 dma).
However given the "soft" 3-wave down leg off the July 3 peak we still need the confirmation of a trend reversal with either a lower high or a lower low

The crowd applauded.
"I do not quit. We are going to get that done," he added.
More applause.
"We've got to get it done," he to the growing cheers.
Yet more and more, louder and louder applause.
"We have to get it done," he said a final time.
By this time the crowd was on its feet. Still applauding.
Once the applause let down, he went on talking about the need for reform. He said he won't forget people hurt by the system and implored congress for action: "lets get it done this year."

Health service staff in Scotland are working more overtime to help the service cope, according to new figures.
Nurses put in almost 700,000 extra hours on top of their normal working day in the first half of the current financial year.
Doctors logged in excess of 40,000 additional hours over the same period.
Loading article content
This led to a combined overtime bill of around £17 million. If the trend continues the final total for 2012-13 will be higher than last year.
Winter illnesses have put Scotland's hospitals under particular pressure in recent weeks and staff at all levels are said to have been working late.
Scottish Labour's health spokeswoman Jackie Baillie, who revealed the figures, said: "The longer our doctors and nurses work, the more likely they are to make mistakes. I am concerned health boards are failing to recruit the right number of staff they need.
"What's worse is when you rely on overtime, you end up paying more.
"In the first six months of this year alone, nurses have worked over one million extra hours at a cost of almost £11m – and that's before the annual winter strain takes its toll. This can't make sense financially."
A Scottish Government spokesman said: "Our figures show that, in 2012, nurses worked less than six hours' overtime each at a cost of £122. For the same period medical staff worked four hours' overtime at a cost of £179.
"All territorial health boards across Scotland are seeing an increase in services funding over the next two years and will see a 3.3% funding boost next year to £9.1 billion – that's 1.3% above the rate of inflation. There are more medical professionals working in our NHS than in 2006."

Wedding bells for Eric Lamaze
Canadian Olympic champion showjumper Eric Lamaze is getting married.
Lamaze, 45, surprised long-time girlfriend Alexis Stein by finally popping the question when he got down on bended knee and proposed on Sunday, October 20, in Wellington, Florida. The couple's beloved Pomeranian dog, Gigi, was witness. Alexis, a 24-year-old musician and equestrian from New York City, said "yes!"
"She's meant something to me for a long time, but it took a while for me to realize what I really had," Lamaze said. "I've known Alexis for many years, and it was time to act on my feelings."
He made the decision to propose following a long discussion with his great friend and owner, Carlene Ziegler of Artisan Farms, who encouraged him to follow his heart.
While wedding plans are still in the works, Lamaze is very much looking forward to the future, saying, "I will support her in anything that she does, just as she will support me in everything that I do. She is truly an incredible person."

What is the tipping point in politics? In the past four years, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has swum so close to the edge on so many occasions, he should be a contestant on
Survivor: Parliament Hill
. It's no wonder the man loves cats; like his feline friends, Mr. Harper appears to have at least nine lives. Showdown after showdown, he outwits the opposition. Even when these standoffs result from his own miscalculation (cutting political party subsidies, proroguing Parliament) he manages to hang on or return to power, leaving the Liberals gnashing their teeth in frustration. The former Natural Governing Party is on its third leader since Mr. Harper moved into 24 Sussex Drive, and rife with rumblings about Michael Ignatieff's future, or lack thereof.
But have the Conservatives finally jumped the shark? As with any party in power, even a minority, arrogance and complacency eventually set in, this time, in the tragi-comic form of the now-notorious fake lake. The lake symbolizes everything that is wrong with this government: a focus on optics, rather than reality. It's what they want you to see, not what is really there, like scripting
for Afghan aid workers, stonewalling on freedom of information requests, or cutting government cheques with big Conservative party logos on them.
Image is everything, but in the case of the lake, it is an illusion that has gone too far. Conservatives are supposed to be the taxpayers' friend. Though Mr. Harper's budgets have proven anything but taxpayer-friendly, hiking spending by double-digits and adding $104.6 billions to our national debt over the next five years, the Canadian public hasn't taken him to task for it – yet. This is in part because other world leaders have been doing the exact same thing, in a desperate and misguided attempt to spend their way out of recession. Now the costly chickens are starting to roost; across the pond, debt crises imperil European economies, austerity plans are the new normal, and our own recovery is suddenly in doubt.
The G8/G20 summit is thus an occasion to show the world that Canada is a world-class country, not a world-class fake. We don't need pricey Potemkin villages in Muskoka, or mock wilderness in downtown Toronto, to prove our worth. Instead, at a time when nations around the globe are seeking ways to tighten their belts, we should lead by example. Rather than build artificial lakes like a third-world dictator, Mr. Harper should try his hand at fiscal prudence and restraint, and show what that can achieve. And that starts by keeping the costs of the Summit itself in check.
The Conservatives should be mindful that it's not just the rest of the world that is watching;
seem to be finally waking up as well. After riding high in the polls for months, Conservative poll numbers are starting to slip, and talk of a Liberal-NDP Coalition is in the works. Let's hope the combination of these factors will bring this government down to earth. Mr. Harper should remember that governing Canada isn't a reality TV show; for voters, it is real life, unscripted.

Affordable Atlantic
This may sound sort of crazy so bear with me. I have a life "to do" list as far as my fly fishing is concerned. I have a lot of potential trips in the planning process and then I just see how the year unfolds- when I can get away for a trip, the cost, etc. The last trip was Great Lake Chinooks- first 20 lb plus fresh water fish I've taken on a fly rod.
In any event catching an Atlantic Salmon is one of those things I'd like to do but cost is a factor. For an American fishing in Canada, what would be the most affordable choice? I think I need a guide but in some cases you can stay at a local motel and just use a local as a guide. Then there is the issue of what section of the river you can access. I've paid to fish good areas and it was money well spent.
"Success" for me would be 2 or 3 good sized Atlantic Salmon over a 2 day period. Any suggestions welcomed.
Re: Affordable Atlantic
Newfoundland is the place to go for Salmon fishing. The people are amazing. You would never regret it.
Wild Atlantic Salmon
Re: Affordable Atlantic
I would suggest the Margaree river in cape breton, it has a great run of summer and fall fish, all the pools are public and easy to find, you can rent a cottage for cheap, and get a guide for a day to show you around and then do it yourself after.
One warning though, 2 or 3 good fish in 2 days is something that would be very very nice, but atlantic salmon fishing is different, I fished a week on the margaree, and a couple times a week at my home river, I hooked a total of 5 fish, landing none. So take in more than just the catching, take in the culture of fishing for salar, take in the river, the scenery, the tactics, if you let it all in and respect every detail you may get a fish to hand, but I guarantee that you will have an amazing time.
The margaree is a stunning place, landing one of the gems that swims that river is just one of the many perks

" Brand: LG "
I have owned my LG optimus G for several months, and I am very happy with my purchase. I upgraded from a very junky android phone, and glad I made the switch.
The phone is very big at 4.7". It has an 1.5 ghz processor with 2gb of ram and 4G LTE compatibility. Although the phone does not have any SD memory card slots, the large 16gb internal hard drive is pretty much all you need. I have downloaded a tun of apps, and still have plenty of space for music, movies, and pictures.
The call quality of this phone is also excellent. I have made many calls, and I was able to hear the other party, and they were able to hear me with clarity.
Battery life on this phone is excellent. Even after surfing the web and checking email, i am able to get through the day with a single charge of the battery.
Overall, this is a top of the line phone that will be around in the market for a long time. Great size, weight, battery life, and speed, really make this an overall amazing phone.

The Week Ahead: Excessive Risk Unlikely
Last week the S&P 500 fell 0.4%, bringing that index's quarter-to-date and year-to-date returns to 7.2% and 16.1%, respectively. As this move suggests, it was a mixed week in terms of news flow. We saw several positives, including stronger-than-expected earnings from KB Home (KBH), General Mills (GIS) and several others, as well as favorable housing data in the form of August housing starts and existing-home sales. All of these metrics, however, were offset by a number of disappointing headlines.
These disappointments included FedEx (FDX), which said the global economy remains weak, and which provided a weaker view on 2012 earnings than what had been expected. Elsewhere, Norfolk Southern (NSC) cut its outlook, citing weak coal and merchandise demand, and MasterCard (MA) warned of slower revenue growth ahead....862 more words left in this article.

Sam Hornish Jr. wins Coors Light Pole Award
May 02, 2014, Staff report, NASCAR.com
MORE: Results | Race Center | How to Follow Races
Sam Hornish Jr. won the Coors Light Pole Award for the NASCAR Nationwide Series' Aaron's 312 at Talladega Superspeedway.
Hornish, who is making his first Nationwide Series start of the season for Joe Gibbs Racing, posted his sixth career Coors Light Pole in the Nationwide Series.
Hornish topped the final round of qualifying with a lap of 186.783 mph. Hornish will be joined on the front row by his JGR teammate Elliott Sadler. In fact, JGR took the top three spots in the lineup for the Aaron's 312 -- Darrell Wallace Jr. will start third.
Roush Fenway Racing's Ryan Reed will start fourth, while Richard Petty Motorsports' Dakoda Armstrong rounds out the top five.
Brian Scott made some contact with the outside wall about halfway through the final session and will start 10th. All three Richard Childress Racing cars will start in the top 11.
The second round of qualifying was a bit of a waiting game as cars stayed on pit road for nearly the first five minutes of the round. David Ragan, Trevor Bayne and Kyle Larson were among the notable drivers not to advance to the final round of qualifying.
The first round of qualifying saw plenty of drafting. Pit road was a little chaotic early on as teams were trying to get organized in a pack for drafting. An initial pack of five TriStar Motorsports went out together with two other cars at the start of the first session but came back in before completing a lap.
Tanner Berryhill spun out after some contact from Larson, who tried to squeeze between Berryhill and Regan Smith. Berryhill suffered the most damage as he hit Derrike Cope and then smacked the wall. Berryhill's car was towed away during the subsequent stoppage. Larson also suffered a little damage to his car.
The JR Motorsports trio of Chase Elliott, Smith and Kasey Kahne all did not advance past the first round of qualifying. The organization has won four of the series' first eight races this season, and Elliott and Smith are 1-2 in points. Kahne will start 32nd, Smith will start 33rd and Elliott will start 37th on Saturday.
Rookie Dylan Kwasniewski of Turner Scott Motorsports was another notable driver who did advance to the second round of qualifying.
Chad Boat and Cope did not qualify for the race.
The Talladega qualifying session was the first full group qualifying session of three rounds at a restrictor-plate track in any NASCAR national series. In February, Nationwide Series qualifying at Daytona lasted one round before bad weather forced it to come to an early end.
The Aaron's 312 will be on ESPN at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday. Television coverage of the race will begin at 2:30 p.m. ET.

Throwback sodas keeping state sugar farmers merrySep 28, 2013 The Associated Press
POWELL -- Glistening retro-style cans shuffle quickly down a conveyer belt, destined to be filled with cold, fizzy soda. Unlike most of their modern aluminum counterparts, these cans will contain a classic ingredient: real sugar.
After decades of using corn syrup exclusively, PepsiCo returned to the sweet ingredient from Big Horn Basin beets in 2009 for speciality sodas. Initially introduced for a limited time only, Pepsi Throwback quickly caught on. It didn't take long before consumer demand led to another limited-time production. And then another.
By the spring of 2011, the sugar-infused Pepsi Throwback, along with Mountain Dew Throwback, became permanent.
"It took off and we kept it," said Dave Willard, vice president of production for Admiral Beverage.
That's good news for area farmers.
"It brought back a lot of interest in the sugar beet industry," Willard said. "One of the biggest reasons we did it is we're a local business. That's big for us."
With Throwback drinks, the Worland-based bottling and distribution company helped lead the way back to real sugar. It's a departure from high fructose corn syrup, the sweetener commonly used in pop since the 1980s.
"We convinced them it was a great idea," Willard said. "It was great for our state, for our community and for everybody else involved."ť
Using Throwback concentrate from PepsiCo, Admiral Beverage combines it with Wyoming sugar and water, then carbonates it and puts it in cans or bottles.
The company also produces Dr. Pepper Heritage with real sugar.
Admiral Beverage used slightly more than 700,000 pounds of sugar from Big Horn Basin beets in 2012. With that granulated sugar, the company produced more than 250,000 cases of Throwback products last year. With 24 cans of pop to each case, that equates to more than 6 million cans.
From Worland, Throwback products are distributed to seven states. The company's plant in Ogden, Utah, also uses real sugar in Throwback products, that sugar coming from beets grown in Idaho.
Today's sugary soda draws on nostalgia, and that's part of its success. For decades, Americans drank Pepsi and other colas sweetened with real sugar. Now, tasting the distinctive real sugar flavor reminds folks of what soda used to taste like -- hence the Throwback name and retro logos.ť

text: Poca, Hutchins aiming high By Marcus Cole August 17, 2012 Story Share Chip Ellis Poca's Harley Hutchins scored 28 goals and earned first-team all-state status last year as a sophomore. If 2011 was a sign of things to come, then expect another big year for the Poca girls soccer team and junior standout Harley Hutchins.Poca won a school-best 17 games, and Hutchins, then a sophomore, scored a career-best 28 goals to lead the Dots to a regionals appearance last season."I'm excited to see what we can do and how far we can go this year," said Hutchins, a 2011 Class AA-A first-team all-state choice. "We have a young group of girls this season and a ton of speed. We're playing aggressively and working really hard this year."Hutchins, a forward, believes setting yearly goals is a good form of motivation for her."Last year I wanted to score 20 goals, and I got 28," added Hutchins. "This season my goal is 30."Poca coach Mike Shrewsbury believes his star forward can achieve her goal, but is cautious to put a heavy workload on the junior."Harley can't be one-dimensional and Poca can't be one-dimensional on offense," said Shrewsbury. "Harley is extremely fast, she has a strong left and right leg, and she has the ability to score anytime from anywhere. But we can't rely on one person to score and Harley can't always outrun everyone."For a more balanced attack, Shrewsbury is moving former sweeper Marissa Perkins to an offensive-oriented midfielder role this season with the hopes of opening up holes in the opponents' defense for the Dots, and more specifically Hutchins."We have to get Harley more into the flow of the offense, which is one reason why we've brought Marissa up," Shrewsbury said. "They have to start working together - the give-and-goes, the overlaps. If our opponent knows the only thing we're going to do is kick the ball to Harley and have her try to outrun the defense, they will just shut her down." If Poca can get more players involved in the offensive attack, it'll take a lot of the stress off Hutchins and may allow her to be more productive for the team."If we can keep the defenses playing us more honest, it'll give Harley more opportunities to move around," Shrewsbury said. "It'll take the pressure off of her, and in the long run it should allow her to score more goals, which is great for the team."Hutchins also expects to increase her role in the distribution of the ball this season."I'm not only looking to score goals, but I want to help my teammates score as well," said Hutchins. "With Marissa back up front, she'll be open to score a lot. I expect her and I to be really close in scoring this year."The Dots were without Hutchins for their home opener Friday night against Ripley because she hadn't participated in enough preseason workouts."I missed too many practices this season and didn't get in my practice days due to my family vacation," said Hutchins. Hutchins was scheduled to miss an additional game next week, but that game with Point Pleasant was recently postponed."We had to reschedule that game," said Shrewsbury. "Point Pleasant's coach had so many players out for various reasons that he doesn't have enough players with the practices to play a varsity game."

Interesting People - a WTVP series hosted by Ed Sutkowski—features half-hour conversations of thoughtful dialogue with ordinary individuals who have achieved extraordinary measures of success in the arts, business, communications, education, science and sports.
"Thus, the task is not so much to see what no one yet has seen, but to think what nobody yet has thought about that which everybody sees."
- Arthur Schopenhauer
Episode #201 -
George A. Schaefer
Host Ed Sutkowski interviews the CEOs of Caterpillar Inc. who led the company out of its most difficult financial years to help it become one of the most successful companies in the world. In this episode, Ed talks with George Schaefer, Chairman and CEO from 1985-1990. Original Air Date(s): 9/14/2006
George A. Schaefer, Chairman/CEO, Caterpillar Inc., 1985-1990George served as Caterpillar Inc.'s Chairman and CEO from February 1985 to mid-1990. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he earned an accounting degree from Washington University and joined Caterpillar at age 27 in 1960. George rose from a Decatur, Illinois, plant manager to Chairman and CEO. He also served as a board member of Aon Corporation, Helmerich & Payne, Inc., McDonnell Douglas, and Morton International.
During George's tenure, he orchestrated a de-centralized business structure, emphasized return on investments, closed Cat's plant in Glasgow, England, faced a strike in global recession, higher production costs, outdated plants and equipment and low heavy equipment demand. In 1987, he oversaw $1.8 billion plant modernization program, the termination of 6,000 Cat employees in fewer than 30 days (total company-wide reduction of 32,000 employees), reduced manufacturing space by 6.7 square feet, and implemented a new product design strategy which decreased design time from 10 years to as little as 27 months.
George characterizes himself as "not the most charismatic person" but prides himself on being a good listener and his philosophy that "a lot of people can do a lot of things better than I and so let them do it." He oversaw Cat's entry into the capital venture area and compared and contrasted the tragedy of General Motors and Ford. His most difficult decision related to the sea of change in Cat's direction from a $600 million loss to a profitable organization. He views bad news as an opportunity.

Was challenging to install Win8 Client on machine with multi HDs, but eventually I found a helpful post that suggested all drives except os drive and non-critical devices be removed prior to install. After install and joining machine to a windows server
2012 ad ds domain per
this technet tutorial, machine operated great for 3-4 days. However, the time had come to integrate the other drives and devices, so I shut the computer down. Connected the drives and devices and powered the computer on.
1st Startup failed. I assumed the BIOS setting of which hard drive had boot priority had changed, so I checked BIOS and confirmed this basic non-windows error. I set the proper boot order and rebooted.
2nd Startup failed. The position of the cursor changed two or three times, but other than that I stared at a black screen with blinking cursor for several minutes. I inserted windows 8 install dvd to try a startup repair and rebooted.
Experienced the new startup repair layout. Attempted to automatically troubleshoot, which resulted in nothing. I choose to get into the command line and poke around with diskpart, and sure enough, the drive letters had been reassigned. I assigned
the correct letter c to the os drive and reboot.
3rd 4th and 5th startup failed. Every time I would reboot and enter the windows 8 repair utility on installation dvd and EVERYTIME the drive letters had been reassigned.
Finally I tried removing all drives except os drive; I was finally able to boot into os. I then connected the sata cables from motherboard to the other drives, and luckily nothing terrible happened.
Experienced the new feature about what to do when additional drives are connected -nice work there. I set up file backup, ran the new optimize drives feature, and just to make sure everything was glued in place, I rebooted....
Startup 6th failed, same as before. Entering Diskpart and reassigning dive letters to the correct drives does not do any good. I swapped out the motherboard battery, to be sure, but I knew it wasn't going to be that because the motherboard is less
than 1 year old. Everytime I startup the machine it fails to boot unless I have disconnected all drives expect the os drive. The only way to run the os is to first boot up with one drive connected to motherboard (6 port sata III on chip) and then
after startup, connect the sata cables to the other drives.
The machine had windows 7 on it before windows 8, and this was never an issue.
I've reproduced this issue on two other machines.
Just thought it may be helpful to share my info.
