The centre, we were confidently told, would not hold. That was wrong it seems. Canadian political strategy is not brain surgery or rocket science, or even rocket surgery. It is, shockingly, common sense.
The latest poll from Abacus Data, gathered Aug. 15-18, confirms that Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives and Opposition leader Tom Mulcair's New Democrats are listing, while Justin Trudeau's Liberals continue to solidify their lead. In the aggregate, according to threehundredeight.com., the Grits now enjoy the support of nearly 40 per cent of eligible voters, the Tories just over 30 per cent, and the New Democrats just over 20 per cent. For months on end, the Liberal leader has been blasted as a featherweight with no resume, no brains, no judgment and no platform. Trudeau is alternatively derided as a pin-up boy, a poster child for entitlement, and a gaffe-prone buffoon.
But Canadians admire these qualities, apparently. Unless the polling trend of the past 18 months is wildly wrong, we're preparing to make him prime minister.
Of course, it's not nearly as simple as that. As I wrote before, Trudeau began his run for the Liberal leadership, he is far more street-savvy than his foes will admit. Lately, in the aftermath of some quite painful missteps — his expression of enthusiasm for China's system of government, say, or his joke about the Russians invading Ukraine because they were mad about losing a hockey game — he's also been cautious about what he says. He's being so careful, in fact, that one might accuse him of playing a front-runner's game, saying and doing as little as he can get away with, while waiting for his rivals to hang themselves.
Of course, that in itself is not a terrible strategy, for someone faced with opponents such as Harper and Mulcair. It's less interesting than the typical go-for-broke enthusiasm of a third-party leader seeking to break into the mainstream. But it is not unexpected, given that the Liberals, from their 37-seat beachhead in the House of Commons, have been allowed free rein to recapture the most precious territory in Canadian politics, which is the centre.
Just what does that mean, in a culture that has seen policy convergence between the major parties, since the early 1990s? It's an interesting question. All parties are for balanced budgets; all parties are for holding the line on taxes; no one proposes an inheritance tax, or rolling back gay marriage, or a new abortion law, or capital punishment, or curtailing immigration. And everybody loves the middle class. Anyone observing Canadian federal policy debates from Europe, say, could be forgiven for perceiving our four federal parties as a single, formless blob.
But this is precisely why personality and image are so very important, now. In a political milieu dominated by imagery, and in which the most important policy debates are settled — and we know they're settled, because of exhausting and constant surveys, by research firms and by the political parties themselves — the key is not to proffer policy contrast, but rather consonance. This is the ultimate explanation, it seems to me, for Trudeau's enduring popularity.
Through the use of symbols — mainly related to energy and the environment — he has established a foundation of reassurance that, come what may, there will be no big changes on the day the Liberals reclaim power, beyond the obvious. The differences will be tonal, and personal. A new approach, a younger crowd, a fresh face, a burst of idealism, a sunny disposition, but no whiplash; these are the levers being applied. Mulcair fails to connect, not only because too few people know him west of Quebec, but because he cannot offer that reassurance. Harper fails to connect because of fatigue with his persona.
The Abacus data support this. Canadians are pleased with the direction in which the country is going, yet displeased with the prime minister and his government. This was always the great risk for the Conservatives in branding themselves so single-mindedly around "the economy." As the great TV anti-hero Jim Rockford, played by the late James Garner, said in one episode, as a thug sought to intimidate him by crushing a pop can in his fist: "Anybody can do that. They changed to tin in '65." Neo-liberalism is neo-liberalism, regardless of the flavour.
Stephen Harper could, of course, rework his approach, open up, become gregarious, laugh, engage with the media, slap backs and kiss babies, try to cast himself in a new light; he does not seem inclined to do these things. Nor does he seem at all inclined to retire.
The upshot is that, barring a bolt from the blue — the debate knockout punch, the unforgivable unforced error by Trudeau, or huge mistakes of complacency by his candidates or partisans — the 2015 election may be theirs to lose. Brian Mulroney famously said of the Liberal era in the 90s that "(former Conservative finance ministers) Michael Wilson and Don Mazankowski planted the garden and Paul Martin got to pick the flowers." Déjà vu, possibly, in the making.

The Jefferson School City Center celebrated its first birthday Saturday night with a formal gala. Attended by some of Charlottesville's notable political figures and power players.
The Carver Recreation Center was packed with people ready to dig deep for a cause.
The gala featured a silent auction where experiences with some of Charlottesville's public figures were auctioned off.
In a 21st century twist, bidders were able to use their cell phones to bid on the auction items throughout the night.
"Tonight we are describing to our supporters our friends those who don't know about us exactly what has happened here over the course of the last year. We have brought together 9 tenants to provide services to a community," said Andrea Douglas, Executive Director, Jefferson School African American Heritage Center.
A short list of some of those partners; the YMCA, Martha Jefferson Starr Hill Health Center and Piedmont Virginia Community College.
The purpose behind these partnerships is to ensure the City Center acts as an anchor for the Charlottesville community..
The evening was also marked by the presentation of the City Center Reflector Award to Teresa Jackson Walker-Price for her service to the City Center and the community.

When Sony debuted the Live on YouTube app last month, we wondered if compatibility would extend backwards to some other high-end Sony phones. The time is now, Sony smartphone owners... at least if you own one of three very specific models. Last year's flagship the Xperia Z1, its slightly smaller brother the Xperia Z1 Compact, and the high-powered Xperia ZL2 (which is only available in some Asian markets at the moment), all have access to the app as of now.
Update 7/24/14: VentureBeat reports that the deal has finally gone through, though nothing official has been announced by either company just yet. The waiting game continues.
The original post from May 18th continues below.
Google has reportedly succeeded in securing the acquisition of the game streaming service Twitch. If the deal goes through, Twitch will apparently become part of YouTube. The sale price is being reported as an even $1 billion in cash, which works out to exactly one Instagram.
It seems like the only thing we hear about the upcoming YouTube music service as of late is how many problems it's having. Case in point: the Wall Street Journal reports that YouTube's product manager in charge of music, Christopher LaRosa, is leaving the company in favor of an as-yet unnamed startup. LaRosa's LinkedIn profile says he's worked at YouTube for over four years, and at Google for two years before that.
A small change on Google's end has added the option to access your purchased Google Play video content in YouTube. Check out the navigation menu in the YouTube app and the purchases link will now be overflowing with Google Play Movies and TV. Well, maybe not overflowing, but we've all got that free copy of Big, right?
There are big things happening at the world's biggest video site. Which one is biggest will probably depend on exactly what you want out out of Google's streaming behemoth, but the most notable addition from an Android perspective is the new YouTube Creator Studio app. This add-on allows frequent YouTube uploaders to check analytics, likes, comments, and that sort of thing without needing a PC. If you make your living on YouTube, which is statistically unlikely, this will be an invaluable resource.
Update 3: Live on YouTube is back, more than two weeks after it debuted and almost immediately vanished. The description still says it's only for the Xperia Z2, but we have no way of confirming that, so your mileage may vary.
Update 2: ...aaaaaaand it's gone.
Update: Commenters who own the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Tablet Z2, as well as the previous-generation Z1, have said that their phones are listed as incompatible.
Version 5.7 of the YouTube Android app introduced the ability to select precisely which quality level you want to stream a video in, as long as that level was 720p or lower. Even then, the options skipped from 360p to 720p. Since that release, users have apparently started to see 480p appear in between the two. Not only that, 1080p has shown up as well.
We haven't been able to get the settings to load on our devices, but some of you have reported having better luck.
It's been more than six months since we revealed changes in the code of the YouTube Android app that indicated the long-rumored YouTube streaming service was imminent. So what's the holdup? A rocky relationship between YouTube and independent music publishers may be to blame. Late last week the Worldwide Independent Network, a trade organization for indie musicians and labels, issued a press release decrying Google's treatment of independent labels.
The press release explicitly states that YouTube has approached labels both big and small with contracts for a new music service...
One of the biggest uses for YouTube is listening to music, and it's getting a bit more convenient to do that on Android today. YouTube Mix came to the desktop last year, but someone just threw the switch to enable it on Android. Simply search for an artists and rock out.
YouTube Mix is essentially an auto-generated playlist of an artist's most popular videos on YouTube. It seems to be mostly pulling up Vevo content for established acts, but the videos can be pulled from any account.
Along with two new apps, today's Update Wednesday has brought us a new version of YouTube with version 5.6.31. The previous version was 5.5.27, so it became clear right away that we should expect something relatively significant as opposed to simple bug fixes. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to disappoint those of you still waiting for offline and screen-off playback - those are not here just yet. There are no major UI changes either.

Rogue Cheney (ローグ・チェーニ Rōgu Chēni) is a Mage of Sabertooth, formerly the strongest Guild in Fiore,[2] and a member of its team: Twin Dragons of Sabertooth. As a child, Rogue referred to himself as Ryos (ライオス Raiosu).[1]
Rogue is a slim young man of average height with rather messy black hair, which almost reaches down to his shoulders, along with some strands pointing upwards on top of his head and a prominent tuft obscuring most of his forehead. His hair is later brushed to the right side of his face covering up his right eye. He has red eyes with slit pupils similar to that of a snake's, like Gajeel Redfox's eyes.[2][3][4] Following the battle against the Dragons, Rogue gains a thin scar across the bridge of his nose.[5]
Rogue wears a long, black cape reaching down to his feet, with golden edges, a much lighter collar circling his neck, and a prominent, white ribbon hanging down on his chest. Such cape bears a light Sabertooth's symbol on it, almost in correspondence to Rogue's left shoulder. Below it, Rogue seems to wear a plain greyish blueish tinted white shirt, with prominent brown cuffs and what looks like a large metal band circling each of his biceps. From a light sash circling his waist hangs a distinctive, pale blue cloth waistguard, consisting of four long pieces of cloth reaching down below his knees. Each of these pieces is adorned by a large, dark cross with fan-shaped arms. Below such waistguard, Rogue wears a pair of armored boots, which, on the front, bear plates bearing the very same motif which appears on the waistguard.[2][3]
Rogue is the quieter of the Twin Dragon Slayers. He mostly keeps a calm face and rarely shows any emotions. Also, Rogue wasn't interested in watching the matches like Sting was, stating that he is only interested in Gajeel.
Although he is part of Sabertooth and one of their five strongest Mages, Rogue seems to question the way their guild handles things, namely failure and weakness, and holds a strong belief on comradeship. After Yukino lost her match against Kagura and was subsequently humiliated & excommunicated by their Guild Master, he told Sting that despite her failure, she was still their comrade. Sting, whereas, merely brushes off Rogue's comment, suggesting that it's the way their Guild works and gave the matter little thought.
Rogue does, however, have a softer, caring side. When his Exceed partner, Frosch, started to fret over being excommunicated because of its lack of strength, Rogue smiles and denounces Frosch's fears as just that, promising that it would be okay as long it was with him.
Rogue also seems to lack the sadistic tendencies shared among several of his guildmates. When Lucy was being tortured by Minerva, Rogue did not join in with his teammates' laughter. Rather, Rogue was looking away from the torture with a displeased expression, and he did not jump to Minerva's aid afterwards, unlike his team. He also appears to be unusually kind towards his guild and is very protective of Frosch. He and many of his guildmates were horrified at the "death" of Lector, showing that he cares for his fellow guildmates.
Additionally, like most other Dragon Slayers, Rogue suffers from motion sickness.[6]
Rogue was raised by a Dragon known as Skiadrum, who taught him Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic. When Skiadrum became ill, Rogue used the Magic he was once taught to assist the Dragon in death.[7] At some point in his life, Rogue also implanted Dragon Lacrima into his body, thereby making him a Third Generation Dragon Slayer.[8]
Seven years ago, Rogue was a fan and the sworn younger brother of Gajeel Redfox,[9] and desired to join the Phantom Lord Guild, which Gajeel used to be a part of.[10] Also during this time, Rogue changed his name from Ryos as he disliked its meaning.[1]
Grand Magic Games arc
Sting mentions to Rogue that the Fairy Tail members that disappeared seven years ago have returned, Rogue, however, states that he doesn't care. Sting points out that Rogue is lying, reminding him about how he admired Natsu Dragneel[3] and Gajeel Redfox so much seven years ago. Just then, an archer from a Dark Guild arrives and shoots an arrow at the two. Sting intercepts the arrow, eats it, and then proceeds to use his Dragon's Roar. With the attack barely missing the archer, he cowardly flees. As Sting calls him scum for abandoning his comrades, Lector and Frosch appear praising the two Dragon Slayers. As they all walk away, Sting asks Rogue if he wants to duel Natsu, but Rogue shows no interest.[11]
Five days before the beginning of the Grand Magic Games, Frosch and Lector inform Sting and Rogue that Natsu and his guild decided to participate. While Sting expresses complete joy over the fact, Rogue remains indifferent.[12]
In the city of Crocus, Rogue and Sting defeat several Mages, after which they run into Natsu. The Twin Dragon Slayers proceed to deride Natsu for being a Dragon Slayer who couldn't defeat a Dragon. They then announce that they are Third Generation Dragon Slayers and Rogue explains that to become "true Dragon Slayers", they killed the Dragon that taught them Dragon Slayer Magic.[13] Before leaving, Sting turns around and warns Natsu that if they meet in battle, he'll show him the power of a "true" Dragon Slayer, to which Rogue replies that he has gotten bored talking with Natsu, and that he desires to leave.[14]
As the teams who passed the preliminaries of the Grand Magic Games are revealed, Rogue walks out with Sting and his team, meeting his former role model, Gajeel, along the way.[15]
Rogue remains quiet and solitary throughout much of the first day. While Sting and Rufus begin talking about Warcry from Team Quatro Cerberus, Rogue walks away saying he doesn't care, silently saying to himself that he's only interested in Gajeel.[16] By the end of the day, Team Sabertooth leads with 20 points total.[17]
On the Second Day, during Chariot, Rogue sees that Gajeel and Natsu are also afflicted with severe motion sickness, quietly saying to himself that he believed that only he and Sting suffered from the condition.[18] The second day ends with Sabertooth gaining 0 points, moving them down to second place.[19]
That night, Rogue is present with the rest of his guild when Sabertooth's Guild Master, Jiemma, talks about how Sabertooth is supposed to be strongest guild. Rogue looks away when Yukino is forced to strip and subsequently excommunicated. Afterwards, while walking down the hallway, Rogue questions Sting about the harshness of their guild, stating that Yukino was their comrade, to which Sting replies that it's the norm for their guild, and that Yukino only disappeared because she was weak. Frosch then asks if it will also disappear because it's weak, but Rogue says that it won't since Frosch is with him.[20]
Later on, as the Sabertooth lodgings are attacked by an intruder, Rogue and Frosch inform Sting and Lector, who have been awakened by the noise, about the situation. Sting and Rogue run down the hallway, looking for the intruder, only to find several of their guildmates being attacked by a livid Natsu, leaving the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth speechless. As their Guild Master appears, he witnesses Natsu challenge Jiemma to a fight, with excommunication from his own guild being anted.[21] Rogue, completely shocked, wonders if Yukino's excommunication is the reason for Natsu's intrusion. He watches as Natsu easily defeats Dobengal and furiously assaults Jiemma, only for the latter fight to be interrupted by Minerva, who reveals to have captured Happy. Natsu ceases fighting and, as he leaves the Sabertooth lodgings with Happy, expresses his belief on how a guild should be. Taking Natsu's words to heart, Rogue silently realizes that Sabertooth is completely devoid of camaraderie.[22]
At the end of the Third Day's events, Rogue goes back to Sabertooth's lodgings, waiting for the next day. As Sting expresses his feelings about the Fourth Day, Rogue solemnly looks down, deep in thought.[23]
During the Fourth Day of the Grand Magic Games, Rogue is seen quietly watching as Minerva and Lucy face each other in the Naval Battle, and is the only one not seen smiling as Minerva tortures Lucy.[24] Later on, when the new Team Fairy Tail is formed, Rogue and his teammates look at the new team.[25] As the fourth day's tag battles commence, Rogue enters the arena of the Domus Flau, partnered with Sting, ready to fight Team Fairy Tail's Iron Dragon Slayer, Gajeel Redfox, and Fire Dragon Slayer, Natsu Dragneel.[26][27]
As Mato gives the signal for the match to start, Rogue and Sting rush towards Gajeel and Natsu, but are instead intercepted by the latter two. Rogue receives a powerful punch from Gajeel, and is left helpless as Gajeel bombards him with a barrage of furious attacks. Rogue uses the opening from Sting's White Dragon's Roar to attack Gajeel with his Shadow Dragon's Slash, but the effort proves futile as Gajeel easily blocks the slash with his Iron Dragon's Sword. With a powerful shockwave, Rogue is sent flying towards Natsu, to which he is then fiercely dragged into Sting, and then attacked by Natsu's Fire Dragon's Wing Attack, alongside Sting.[28]
Rogue, after mumbling Gajeel's name, activates Shadow Drive, enhancing his Shadow Dragon Slayer abilities. Rogue turns his body into that akin to a real shadow and barrages Gajeel with multiple enhanced blows. He is, eventually, caught in a tangible state and is struck once again by Gajeel. Undeterred, Rogue gets up and runs at Gajeel, screaming his name, but is once again struck down. Seemingly overwhelmed, Rogue lays on the ground beside Sting. With Mato questioning the outcome of the match, Rogue and Sting rise once again and activate Dragon Force.[29]
In spite of the fact that he activated his Dragon Force, Rogue is told by Sting to leave the rest of the fight to him. Rogue complies, letting Sting single-handedly battle both Natsu and Gajeel. When Sting seemingly defeats them, having taken the battle underground, both he and Rogue deactivate Dragon Force. Rogue states that things change over time, and that they have become "real" Dragon Slayers, additionally claiming the old generation to be over. However, to his shock, both Old Generation Dragon Slayers rise from the rubble, unfazed by Sting's many previous assaults. Rogue then watches, to his discomfort, as Gajeel is knocked into a mine cart, with Natsu proclaiming himself to be a good enough fighter for the Sabertooth Slayers.[30]
Hearing this, Rogue states that he has no interest in Natsu and that he wants to fight Gajeel, but Natsu states that Rogue must beat him before he can fight Gajeel. Rogue attacks Natsu with his Shadow Dragon's Roar, Natsu, however, counters with his own Dragon's Roar, overtaking Rogue's, leaving the Shadow Dragon Slayer weakened. After the Twin Dragon Slayers are continuously beaten by Natsu, Rogue and Sting perform a Unison Raid, aiming the blast at Natsu, to which Natsu counters with his own Dragon Slayer Secret Art, creating an explosion in the Domus Flau. After the smoke created by the explosion clears, a weakened Rogue states that he can't see the bottom of Natsu's power, and then falls to the ground, knocked out.[31] Rogue is, afterwards, left immobilized beside Sting, astonished by Natsu's strength.[32]
Rogue is later bandaged and brought to the Sabertooth lodgings with the rest of his Guild. When Jiemma questions how the duo could lose, Rogue says that he has nothing to say regarding his defeat, saying that Natsu was simply more powerful. Jiemma, however, thinks nothing of this and unleashes his rage on the Dragon Slayers, beating them, particularly punching away Rogue. After Lector is attacked by Jiemma, a frightened Frosch begins to cry as Rogue shields the Exceed with his body. Rogue is then shocked to witness an enraged Sting attack Jiemma with White Dragon's Punch.[33]
With the last day of the Grand Magic Games starting, Rogue enters the arena with the rest of Team Sabertooth. [34] As confusion ripples through the crowd, Rogue points out to Sting that Natsu is not with his team. Sting tells him that they must consider themselves lucky.[35] Rogue waits with the rest of his team as the rules for the final fight are explained.[36] As soon as the game begins, Rogue separates from the rest of his team, heading into the city alone. [37] After witnessing Rufus' defeat, Rogue remarks on how powerful Fairy Tail truly is and begins thinking about defeating Gajeel.[38] Later on, during Minerva's battle with Erza Scarlet and Kagura Mikazuchi, Rogue remains completely silent.[39]
Soon after, Rogue walks into a building and comes across Gajeel, whose name he utters with interest as the latter tells Rogue that he's persistent and to get ready, as he's not as nice as Natsu.[40]
Rogue is later seen taking a hit from Gajeel's Iron Dragon's Club. He is pushed back a distance, while Gajeel states that it's impossible for Rogue to surpass him in a single day and that if Rogue couldn't defeat Natsu, then there's no way that he, himself, could be defeated. Rogue then quickly retorts that Gajeel possesses strength nowhere near Natsu's level, which makes Gajeel visibly angry.[41]
A short while later, a defeated and resolve-shattered Rogue is towered over by a victorious Gajeel. Rogue attributes Gajeel's strength to the guildmates he has in Fairy Tail, understanding why after Phantom Lord disbanded, he joined and stayed in Fairy Tail. Rogue then questions his very existence and purpose, saying that Sabertooth doesn't understand the concept of friendship, thereby implying that he is weak and has no friends. Gajeel then reprimands Rogue for not considering Frosch his friend. The two then argue over what species Frosch is, which ends with Rogue reaffirming the fact that Frosch is his friend. The two Dragon Slayers are then interrupted by a mysterious voice. Rogue turns around, repeatedly asking who and where the voice is, while the latter tells him to kill Gajeel, claiming that it is his destiny. Rogue looks down with an expression of shock, seeing that it is his own shadow who is telling him to kill his idol, offering him the power to commit the deed.[42]
While struggling against his shadow's will, Rogue is approached by Gajeel, who is wondering what is wrong with his opponent. Rogue then cries out in agony and sends Gajeel flying back with one mighty sweep of his arm. With the crowd startled by this comeback, Gajeel recovers only to be told that Rogue has been overtaken by his shadow. The possessed Rogue begins his assault quickly, physically dominating Gajeel in battle with his new-found power, easily maneuvering through Gajeel's attacks by turning into, and hiding in, shadows. Rogue, possessed, then makes snide remarks on Gajeel's power, commenting on how much stronger he is now compared to Natsu and Gajeel.[43]
With Gajeel now physically battered, Rogue holds him by the throat and, over Gajeel's gasps for air, mockingly states how easy it was to overcome his former idol. Gajeel is then dropped by the possessed Rogue, who leaves him to be consumed by the shadows. Rogue then watches, perplexed, as Gajeel consumes the shadows around him. Fearful of Gajeel's increasing power, Rogue steps back as Gajeel rises from the shadows and demands that the shadow leaves Rogue's body. The possessed Rogue is then told that Rogue, whose real name is Ryos, was Gajeel's sworn younger brother, and that his feelings towards him were fear-based, rather than those of admiration. As Gajeel enters his new Iron Shadow Dragon Mode, he states that he'll make the possessed Rogue remember exactly what fear feels like.[44]
A dumbfounded Rogue inquires about Gajeel's newfound power, but is then assaulted by the latter's combination of the two Dragon Slayer Magics. In an attempt to escape Gajeel, Rogue turns into shadows, but, Gajeel, however, follows suit, and the two continue to battle as shadows. Eventually, Gajeel grabs Rogue and pulls him out of the shadow, much to his surprise. Gajeel then brutalizes the possessed Dragon Slayer and, as the possessed Rogue notes that he does not know this Gajeel, he throws him into the air, once more telling the being to vanish. Gajeel uses Iron Shadow Dragon's Roar, defeating and immobilizing Rogue. The being inquires as to the limits of Rogue's abilities, and then promptly exits his body. As Gajeel looks at Rogue, an emotional Frosch stands between the two, begging Gajeel to stop before Rogue dies. Gajeel, however, states that the fight has finished. Rogue then regains consciousness, calling out to his Exceed companion. As an elated Frosch runs over to hug Rogue, the Shadow Dragon Slayer wonders if he lost, unable to remember the events that just transpired.[45] After the battle, Rogue lies on the ground, defeated, with Frosch standing over him, relieved knowing Rogue is safe, while Rogue smiles alongside his friend.[46]
Rogue, later watches Sting and Lector's reunion and smiles along with a tearful Frosch, glad that the two friends have been brought together once more. [47] Watching Fairy Tail's victory on the Lacrima screen with Frosch, Rogue agrees with his exceed partner that Fairy Tail is amazing. Stating that his loss is the first time he feels refreshed after defeat, Rogue tells Frosch he wishes to become a man who cares about his friends, a wish the Exceed expresses as well.[48]
Rogue then gathers with Fiore's Magic Guilds, cheering as they take up arms to battle against the upcoming attack from the Dragons accepting the King's request. As Sting worries about the attackers being Dragons, Rogue smirks confidently telling his fellow Dragon Slayer that they have to up for the battle. Rogue then springs up in curiosity, with a number of other Mages, after the King begins to shed tears over the mages' selflessness while his voice changes to a familiar sound.[49]
Later, after being stationed to another section of Crocus with the rest of Sabertooth, Rogue watches as shockwaves tear the land around them apart, and, as Sting deduces that the Dragons have arrived, Rogue correctly concludes that they've arrived at Mercurius, much to his displeasure.[50]
Later, as one of the seven Dragons that passed through the Eclipse Gate descends upon Sabertooth's location, Rogue charges toward the Dragon, geared for battle.[51] As they fight, the group begins to become overpowered by the beast, though Rufus happily reminds everyone that Rogue and Sting defeated Dragons when they were young. Suddenly, Sting admits that that is only a half truth, revealing that his Dragon asked him to kill it. Hearing Sting confess the truth, Rogue does so too, explaining that his parent Skiadrum was sick, and he merely killed him out of mercy. Despite the Dragon being stronger than expected, Rogue still vows to fight and protect his friends.[52] Suddenly, Rogue hears Natsu calling from atop a Dragon flying over Crocus, the Fire Dragon Slayer demanding that all the other Dragon Slayers present release their true power to take out the seven Dragons. Hearing the truth in Natsu's words, Rogue steels himself, pumped to fight harder.[53] Momentarily, Rogue heads elsewhere to locate another Dragon as commanded by Sting, stating that the era of the dispassionate Sabertooth is over; rather, they will now move forward.[54]
However, the Dragon named Levia that Rogue faces overwhelms him. It then states that they should stop now, as there's no way Rogue is capable of beating a Dragon. Surprised, Rogue asks why they know his name, to which the Dragon replies that they were given an order to spare him. Levia tells him that if he does as they say, Rogue will be the one to survive the battle and become a King. However, Rogue argues that he has no desire to become a King and asks about the one behind this. Levia tells him that it was Rogue, seven years from now, who summoned the Dragons and plans to become the King.[55]
Rogue laughs it of, but then he hears someone saying it's the truth. The mysterious voice turns out to be Rogue's Shadow, the darkness of Rogue's heart that represents another possible future. Rogue yells out at the Shadow, stomping on it in an attempt to make it quiet, but Levia tells him that from now on, his heart shall be stained with evil and he shouldn't fight his fate. Rogue then falls to the ground, unable to accept the words of the Dragon[56]
However, in that moment, Sting appears and questions Rogue's inaction. He then offers Rogue his help. Shocked, Rogue asks Sting if his Dragon was already beaten, but Sting just bursts into laughter and says that the Dragon has tagged along just as Scissor Runner crashes through a building. Rogue doesn't find this funny, but Sting just says that whatever happens, they're a team. Standing back to back, both Sting and Rogue get ready to show the power of Twin Dragon Slayers. With a smile on his face, Rogue thinks to himself that if he were to fall into darkness, the light would surely kill him.[57] Rogue then, accompanied by Sting, charges at Levia and Scissor Runner, ready to engage in battle.[58]
With the Eclipse Gate now in tatters,[59] Levia and Scissor Runner return to their own time. Rogue then sits on the ground, accompanied by Sting, and expresses his doubt as to what worth he holds as a Dragon Slayer. Sting then states that they were just that powerful, and that Acnologia is far more powerful than they ever were; Rogue tells Sting not to sulk about that fact. Sting agrees with Rogue, stating that the battle has ended and they've come out victorious. At this point, Rogue corrects Sting; with a smile on his face, he states that, rather than coming out victorious, they protected their comrades.[60]
After a few days, all Mages of the Grand Magic Games are present at Mercurius, having an after party. Being called "Ryos", Rogue is greeted by Gajeel, however, Rogue asks him not to use that name. Gajeel then questions Rogue's future self. Rogue states that he is as clueless about him as everyone else, however, he assures Gajeel that he won't end up like him. Afterwards, he witnesses Yukino's arrival and watches as Sting tells her that she's welcome to return to the guild which now cares about its members. However, much to the surprise of Rogue and rest of the Sabertooth members, Kagura appears and claims that Yukino's life belongs to her. Every other guild expresses their desire for Yukino, resulting in a fight which is then stopped by Arcadios who tells them to behave as the King is about to arrive. Rogue is then seen shocked upon witnessing Natsu who appears while wearing the King's clothes and the crown.[61]
Tartarus arc
During the confrontation between Fairy Tail and Tartarus, as Mard Geer attacks Minerva in order to "clean up the garbage", Rogue, along with Sting, Lector and Frosch arrive to assist in the fight. While Sting states that they have come to pick her up, Rogue tells the sobbing Minerva that where she belongs is Sabertooth.[62]
Rogue later comments on the content of Erza's letter that brought them here, noting that they could not understand it very well and thus their arrival was delayed. He then informs Erza that on their way, they've seen a lot of Face-shaped statues and remains silent when Mard states that 3000 of them will destroy the continent's Magic. Telling Erza to go and stop Face, Rogue and Sting charge at Mard, who belittles them for thinking that they can take on the Underworld King. Rogue transforms into shadows and rushes to attack Mard from behind, however, both his and Sting's attempts are effortlessly blocked by Mard who proceeds blowing them away. The Underworld King continues avoiding the Twin Dragons and not even Rogue's Shadow Dragon's Slash is of any effect. Mard then uses his Curse to create a rose-shaped explosion, commenting that he doesn't like humans using Dragon Slayer Magic and Rogue and Sting reply with an angered expressions, stating that what they don't like is their friends being hurt.[63]
Not wasting a second, Rogue and Sting attack Mard Geer once more, though like before, his shadows prove to be completely ineffective. He then stands next to his partner as the White Dragon Slayer eggs the Underworld King to fight them seriously.[64] They continue to exchange attacks and Rogue and Sting exclaim that they will take Mard down in order to bring Minerva back with them.[65] The battle continues until both sides notice some noise, with Rogue questioning whether it's a voice.[66] As Acnologia approaches, Rogue drops to his knees alongside Sting as the two clutch their chests in pain and a clueless expression overtakes their faces.[67] After Igneel arrives, Rogue's excessive heartbeat ceases and he is asked by Sting if he is okay, which he says he is, but asks where Mard Geer ran off to when they were in pain.[68]
Searching for Mard, Rogue and Sting find Underworld King in the midst of battle against Natsu, and quickly rush to the Dragon Slayer's aid when they see that Mard is overpowering him. After a quick reunion, the two Sabertooth members suggest they team up, with Rogue getting angry when Natsu refuses. However, after Sting turns the battle into a competition to lure Natsu in, the three Dragon Slayers begin their onslaught, and, after some well-timed teamwork, manage to push Mard back. This only causes the Demon to become livid though, and he vows to no longer hold back.[69] With that, Mard returns to his throne and seats himself as Rogue detects a truly tremendous power surging from him, just before the Underworld King attacks them with a barrage of giant thorns. Taking some harsh blows, Rogue and Sting watch as Natsu goes in for a powerful attack, and back him up by combining their powers to cast Holy Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang. Mard, however, absorbs the attack and blocks Natsu's following one, shocking the trio as he lands unharmed back in his seat with a gloating smile and tells them that he hasn't even gotten serious yet.[70]
After Mard Geer explains his intentions to break E.N.D.'s seal and return to Zeref, Rogue tells him that he can go to Zeref by himself if he wants it that much. Rogue is then shocked to find out that the Demons are in fact programmed to kill Zeref, as he thought of himself to be a cursed existence. Mard Geer then attacks the three Dragon Slayers and gains the upper hand, but as he is about to crush them with a spell, Gray Fullbuster appears and saves them by freezing the Demon's spell, surprising Rogue with his level of Magic Power.[71]
After comparing Gray's Magic to God and Dragon Slayer Magic, Rogue watches in amazement as the Devil Slayer freezes and foils every single one of Mard's attacks. However, he looks on in fear as a demonic Jiemma emerges from Mard Geer's frozen Prison Flower, and becomes visibly flustered when the newly-born Demon rushes at them, though words from Natsu leaves him slightly encouraged. With new resolve, Rogue and Sting rush at Jiemma, but he merely grabs their heads, antagonizes them, and smacks them together. Undeterred, Rogue continues his assault accompanied by Sting, exclaiming that they two will defeat their old Master.[72]
As he fights his old Master, Rogue admonishes Jiemma for selling Minerva out to Tartarus, but both he and Sting are merely thrown around, their words meaning nothing to the transformed Demon. After telling Jiemma that they've turned Sabertooth into the guild it was meant to be, a guild of friendship and love, Jiemma brutalizes the Shadow Dragon Slayer whilst making claim that he and Sting ruined his vision of the guild. However, both Dragon Slayers rise and tell Jiemma that he was the one that made the guild weak and that as they have started Sabertooth over from square one, it is their job to end him. Their words merely amuse their tormentor, but both Dragon Slayers counter that they were blessed to have met a guild a like Fairy Tail; Rogue is slashed by Jiemma, who claims that strength with bonds isn't strength at all. After Sting exclaims that they live to love each other, Rogue says that they will end Jiemma's twisted, broken ideals and the two cast White Shadow Dragon's Rough Silk, piercing Jiemma with light and shadows, which leaves him heavily wounded. Exhausted, the two Dragon Slayer fall to the ground, leaving everything to Gray and Natsu.[73]
Magic and Abilities
Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic (影の滅竜魔法 Kage no Metsuryū Mahō): A Magic which allows Rogue to transform the physiology of his body into that of the Shadow Dragon; transforming his body into a shadow that cannot be touched by normal means.[74] With this Magic, Rogue is also able to fade himself into shadows to move swiftly, dodging efficiently and making surprise attacks.[75] However, if Rogue is caught while in a tangible form, or by another person in shadow form, he is then vulnerable to attacks.[75][76] The shadows produced by Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic are able to be utilized in several different ways, allowing for a high level of adaptability; the shadows are able to be released in freeform,[77] as condensed,[78] or even molded into the shape of a weapon, taking on the properties of said chosen shape.[79] As a member of the Third Generation of Dragon Slayers, Rogue learned this form of Magic through two means: by receiving the teachings of a Dragon named Skiadrum and by having Dragon Lacrima implanted into his body.[80]
- Shadow Dragon's Roar (影竜の咆哮 Eiryū no Hōkō): Rogue's signature Dragon's Roar. Rogue releases a large burst of shadows from his mouth. Because Natsu Dragneel countered this attack with his own Dragon's Roar, its true strength remains unseen.
- Shadow Dragon's Slash (影竜の斬撃 Eiryū no Zangeki): Rogue covers his arm in shadows and punches his target.[81]
- Shadow Dragon's Crushing Fang: Rogue generates shadows from his hand and uses them to attack the target.[82] (Unnamed)
- Shadow Dragon's Claw: Rogue generates shadows from his feet and uses them to attack the target.[83] (Unnamed)
- Shadow Dragon's Waxwing Flash (影竜の連雀閃 Eiryū no Renjakusen): Rogue turns his body into shadows and then wraps himself around the target, assaulting them with a torrent of shadows generated from his hands.[84]
Shadow Drive (シャドウドライブ Shadō Doraibu): A type of Magic-amplification technique used by Rogue that brings out the true power of his Shadow Dragon Slayer abilities, excluding the power boost granted by Dragon Force, yet, at the same time, seemingly enhancing his physical prowess to a degree, particularly his speed. It grants Rogue an aura of shadows that completely cloaks and continuously rises from his body. The technique also obscures Rogue's eyes, leaving only his round, blank irises visible.[85] According to Rogue's fellow Dragon Slayer and partner Sting, Shadow Drive harnesses "the power that kills Dragons", and it indeed allowed the Shadow Dragon Slayer to momentarily overwhelm Gajeel Redfox, who had him completely outmatched beforehand. This state either grants Rogue the ability to perform new spells or makes them stronger, as the Sabertooth Mage has been shown employing several skills only while in said Drive. This technique is very similar to that used by Rogue's fellow Dragon Slayer and partner Sting, the similarly named White Drive.[86][87][88]
Dragon Force (ドラゴンフォース Doragon Fōsu): Being a product of the Third Generation of Dragon Slayers, Rogue is capable of entering the most powerful form of the Dragon Slayer at will, without the need to consume strong, external sources of Magic. Such a feat greatly surprised those who had intimate knowledge of Dragon Slayer Magic. When this state is activated, Rogue body becomes much more akin to an actual Shadow Dragon's, with his whole body becoming covered in an aura of shadows even thicker and darker than that provided by Shadow Drive, and with thick dark intricate scale-like patterns appearing to cover the outer edges of his face, underneath and around his eyes, extending down from the side of his neck and onto the rest of his body. These are shown to be more and more uniform as they get farther from the central portion of his body, which instead bear several scattered, distinct scales, elongated and placed diagonally.[89]
Unison Raid (合体魔法, ユニゾンレイド, Yunizon Reido): A spell which allows two Mages to unite their Magic into a single, combined, stronger attack. Rogue has shown to be able to combine his Magic with Sting's creating powerful spells.[90]
- Holy Shadow Dragon's Flash Fang (聖影竜閃牙 Seieiryū Senga): After releasing a large amount of shadows from his hand, Rogue combines this with Sting's light, releasing a powerful burst of light and shadows at the target.[91]
Expert Hand to Hand Combatant: While always carrying around a sword by his side, Rogue's melee moves shown so far are unarmed ones, and include punches, kicks and elbows. He employs his Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic to boost his offensive power as well as to outmaneuver opponents, landing enhanced blows from different angolations through the use of the evasive form granted him by Shadow Drive.[81] The latter combination allowed him to fight and even overwhelm Gajeel Redfox for a while, despite ultimately being struck by the opposing Dragon Slayer.[92]
Enhanced Durability: Rogue possesses good physical resilience, being struck by powerful melee blows from both Gajeel and Natsu[93][94] and undergoing the latter's Fire Dragon's Wing Attack without suffering substantial injuries, and continuing to fight and even employing some of his best techniques afterwards.[95] He also managed to take Mard Geer's Thorny Rose in his base form without any visible wounds.
Enhanced Speed: Rogue has been shown to possess above average speed, seen when he outmaneuvered Gajeel during their first battle, though, at the time, he had Shadow Drive activated.[96]
Enhanced Endurance: Rogue has shown to possess a high amount of physical endurance, being able to confront two fellow Dragon Slayers at the same time with his partner Sting, being struck by powerful melee blows from both Gajeel and Natsu[97][98], all the while showing moderate signs of weariness and, in the end, still having the strength to stand back up and barrage his opponents with powerful Shadow Dragon Slayer Magic Techniques.[99][100] Even near the end of his battle with Natsu and Gajeel, Rogue proved able to perform a mighty Unison Raid with Sting, and only finally fell after being struck by Natsu's Dragon Slayer's Secret Art.[101]
Enhanced Reflexes: While employing Shadow Drive, Rogue proved limber enough to dodge several of Gajeel's own Iron Dragon Slayer Magic Spells, and, afterwards, effectively counterattacking the Iron Dragon Slayer, who, for a time, was unable to follow his erratic movements.[102]
Katana: Rogue carries around a katana, a traditional Japanese sword, on his left hip, with its sheath tucked inside his sash belt. The weapon is fairly simple in appearance, sporting a tsuba whose shape is vaguely reminiscent of a four-leaf clover, and a hilt, wrapped in a traditional, dark tsuka-ito, which seems to get larger near its pommel. The sheath is dark in color.[103]
Main article: Sting Eucliffe
Sting is Rogue's partner, fellow Dragon Slayer, and corresponding member of their team: the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth, and as such Rogue is rarely seen not in Sting's company.[104] Rogue has the utmost faith in Sting and, when nearly consumed by the darkness that lies within his heart, he felt comforted by the fact that Sting was near and resolved that the man's light would surely destroy any darkness that tries to take him.[105] In battle, the two fight nearly flawless: their attacks are well-coordinated and synchronized; so much so that together they can outclass extremely accomplished fighters the likes of Gajeel Redfox and Natsu Dragneel for a short while.[106][107] Indeed, their bond is so strong that the two are able to unite their Dragon Slayer Magic and successfully perform a Unison Raid with one another.[108]
Main article: Frosch
Frosch is one of Rogue's closest, if not the closest, friend. They care deeply for each other, and Frosch was very distraught when Rogue was being beaten by Jiemma.[109] In addition, Frosch is extremely loyal to Rogue and is willing to put itself in danger to protect him, as seen when it ran to where Gajeel Redfox and Rogue were fighting, intent on making the "Shadow" leave Rogue's body,[110] and when it arrived, protected Rogue, who would die if the fight continued any further, from Gajeel.[111]
Main article: Gajeel Redfox
Rogue looked up to Gajeel when he was young; during this time, Rogue went by the alias "Ryos."[112] When Rogue was possessed by a shadow during their battle in the Grand Magic Games, Gajeel remembered who he was and told the possessor to leave his body, the reason for which he continued the fight,[113] ultimately freeing him of the influence by defeating him.[114] After the battles against the invading Dragons had concluded, a celebration was thrown at Mercurius for all the Mages who assisted in the fight. During the party, Gajeel was approached by both Sting and Rogue and proceeded to greet the latter with his birth name to Rogue's chagrin. Having heard about the incidents created by the future Rogue Cheney, a concerned Gajeel asked the present Rogue about it, and in response was told by a confident Rogue that such would not happen to him.[115]
Main article: Skiadrum
Skiadrum was Rogue's Dragon foster parent;[116] though Rogue loved Skiadrum very much, he killed his guardian[117] when he was but a boy as the Dragon was sick and dying and wished to be relieved of pain. Though Rogue feels regret about the happening to this day, he describes it as having "assisted in the inevitable."[118]
Appearances in Other Media
Welcome Back, Frosch
At their guild, Rogue closes his eyes as Sting, now the Master of Sabertooth, demands Yukino to take her clothes off, however he too removes his when Sting remarks that it's to play in their new pool. As they party, Rogue chastises Sting for splashing him (calling such a thing childlike), though he loses his cool when Lector arrives and informs everyone that Frosch got lost in the middle of a shopping trip. Immediately pinning the blame on Lector, Sting and Rogue then get into an argument, during which Rogue points out that Frosch doesn't know the way back to the guild; their argument is quelled by Yukino, who tells them that they just need to go look for the small Exceed.[119]
Traveling to Magnolia, Lector tells Rogue that this is where he lost Frosch, which prompts Rogue to call out his friend's name. Just then, Rogue spots Gajeel and Pantherlily and angrily asks Gajeel if he's seen his companion; Rogue becomes angry once more as Gajeel refers to Frosch as a frog. As he tells Gajeel yet again that Frosch is a cat, he is corrected by Pantherlily, as Frosch is technically an Exceed, and when the Exceed points them in the direction of Frosch, Rogue and the others hurry along, where they eventually bump into Wendy, whom Rogue also harasses for Frosch's whereabouts. Such an act earns Rogue a reprimanding by Sting, and as Carla points them back in the direction, Rogue continues calling out for his friend. Before long, the group of four finds Frosch standing in front of a sign and stops his friends from going to help him, but as he does so, he accidentally grabs Yukino's breast, which he embarrassingly apologizes for.[120]
Immediately moving back to the matter at hand, Rogue points out that Frosch is looking at a map so that it can return to the guild by itself; Rogue announces that he must allow Frosch to return by itself, both for its sake and his own, something which Lector and Sting remark is impossible for the bumbling creature to do, causing Rogue to yell in favor of Frosch's success. Cheering for him from the sidelines as it runs into Juvia, Gray and Erza, Rogue smiles rather smugly as Frosch makes progress. However, night falls and Rogue watches Frosch stumble toward the Fairy Tail Guild where he cries out in misery, exclaiming that it arrived at the wrong guild.[121]

- In Volume 32's extra content, Mashima provided the battle statistics for 31 of the 40 X791 contestants in the Grand Magic Games. The stats, however, were provided not from Mashima's point-of-view as the author but from the view point of Sorcerer Magazine reporter Jason. Which explains why some stats are missing and why others may be inaccurate. According to Jason from the Sorcerer Magazine, during his participation in the Grand Magic Games of X791, Rogue's stats are:[122]
- (To himself about Gajeel Redfox) "I have no interest. My interest is only in you, Gajeel."[123]
- (To himself regarding Natsu Dragneel's speech about "Nakama") '"Nakama... Bonds that don't exist in our guild, huh..."[124]
- (To himself about Natsu Dragneel) "Natsu Dragneel... I can't see the bottom of his power..."[125]
- (To Gajeel regarding himself and his guild) "There had to be a reason...for you to stay in Fairy Tail. I didn't understand, but now I do. It was your nakama, right? Our guild lacks that concept. We are the Master's soldiers. His orders were absolute. Victory was a must. What is a 'guild'? What are 'nakama'? What am I even fighting for?"[126]
- (To himself about Sting Eucliffe's assistance) "That's right! As long as he's here, I'll be alright! Should I become stained with evil, the light would surely kill me."[127]

if they're SNMP enabled then you can use that to monitor them.
If not, what I've done in the past is write a script to grab the web status page and parse out the info from that.
Does anyone know of free software which can poll printers and grab info such as remaining ink/toner, page counts etc? I know spiceworks does this to an extent, however it is rather slow and we only want the printer polling functionality.
Simply, we're just looking for a way to easily overview our printers in 1 area and see from a glance which consumables we need to make sure we have!
I appreciate all printers are different and we can't expect it from all of them, however most of our printers are pretty standard (mainstream modern HP and Brother lines) so hopefully we should be at an advantage there.
if they're SNMP enabled then you can use that to monitor them.
If not, what I've done in the past is write a script to grab the web status page and parse out the info from that.
Most larger networked printers have a web interface with useful information. Create your own favourites list with the IPs of your printers.
HPs JetAdmin will pull data from lots of printers.
Yes, I have the WebJetAdmin installed on my PC. It's a bit heavy weight but it does the job.
If you have a nagios install, you can use the 'check_printer' command to check up on network printers that supprt SNNP.
Monitoring Network Printers
You may want to grab an 'improved' check printer script from nagios exchange though.
MonitoringExchange: check_printer - All in one printer check suitable for most devices
snmpget -v 2c -c public 10.0.0.166 hrPrinterStatus.1
gives you the status of a printer at IP address 10.0.0.166. snmpwalk lets you see every SNMP variable returned by the printer, e.g.:
snmpwalk -v 2c -c public 10.0.0.166
David Hicks
My hope was that there would be a simple (or at least, easy to use) script/program to input the ip addresses of our printers and that does it's best to grab just some basic info, including toner/ink levels. Am I living in cloud coo-koo land?
We use the Brother BrAdmin tool to watch this, as most of the printers/mfc we have are brothers, and the Okis will send some information back to it too. It comes with any Brother printer that is networked, and I think it is downloadable from their site too.
It even does a scan of the network for new printers, we get all the information that displays on the LED screens on the printers, and the page count.
It even works with the older HP 4050/4100 printers we have.
David Hicks
He mentioned that the basic version he was running was about £300, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was called. I suspect it was just a pretty and easy to use interface for grabbing the SNMP data that could also produce reports for you. If you want to know what it was called I can drop him an email and ask for some more details?

World-class marquetarian Silas Kopf gives us a step-by-step demonstration of bevel-cutting for invisible marquetry joints plus a thoughtful discussion of the design process. Peter Murkett is also concerned with design, but here the emphasis is on the surface textures achievable with a variety of handtools: spokeshave, drawknife, inshave, and scorp. Geoffrey Holmes, a third-generation craftsman intimately acquainted with New England and early American techniques, shows us how he tapers and turns bedposts in his Massachusetts workshop. Pyrography can be used for stunning artistic effect, as Bruce Anderson shows us on antique wooden ironing boards, and is equally effectively as a simple means of geometric decoration. Our last feature is all about the importance of balance, pattern, and color, as used here in some remarkable wooden creations by Anthony Cantone.

Tigers head to Columbia
The battle of state supremacy takes to the hardwood on Sunday when Clemson faces South Carolina at…
|Tigers drop Gamecocks
Clemson improved to 4-1 all-time in Colonial Life Arena as the Tigers locked in defensively in a 64-55 win over South Carolina on Sunday. Clemson moved to 5-2 with the win.
Box Score
The win was Clemson's first since 2009-10 over South Carolina, and Head Coach Brad Brownell's first against the Gamecocks as well.
Three players reached double figures for Brownell's team, led by K.J. McDaniels with 16. He made all seven of his free throw attempts in the second half and added seven rebounds and five blocked shots. Devin Booker added 13 points and eight rebounds, capping a good week for the 6-foot-8 senior. He added three steals and a pair of blocks. Rod Hall scored 15 for the Tigers and made 9-of-12 at the free throw line to salt the game away late.
South Carolina, who was led by Brenton Williams' 16 points, shot just 34.6 percent for the game and committed 19 turnovers. The Tigers had 10 steals and eight blocked shots in the win and helped limit USC to 27 percent shooting from three-point range as well.
After South Carolina tied the game 3-3, Clemson enjoyed an 11-0 run over the next four minutes punctuated by a Devin Booker steal and slam. The Gamecocks answered on the other end with a Brenton Williams three to cut the lead to 14-6 at the under-12 timeout. McDaniels again stretched the lead to 11, but two straight baskets by USC cut the lead to 17-10.
Clemson took its largest lead at 23-11 on a three-pointer by Columbia native Jordan Roper, but USC answered with a 7-0 run that was capped by a layup inside from Lakeem Jackson. The Gamecocks whittled the lead to just one at the break, 28-27, after a slew of miscues on Clemson's part to end the half. The Tigers had more turnovers at half than they averaged per game entering Sunday's tilt.
The momentum continued out of intermission, as Carolina scored on baskets by Williams and Jackson. Clemson was able to get a runout on a Damarcus Harrison layup to make it 31-30 at the 16:49 mark. McDaniels sank four straight free throws, before Booker hit a layup and Roper converted a steal and slam on the other end to give the Tigers a 38-33 edge with 13:53 left.
A fastbreak layup and free throw by McDaniels made it 41-33 in favor of Clemson, but Mindaugas Kacinas hit a three on the other end to cut the lead to five. The lead grew to 49-37 after Booker scored six straight points, but Lashay Page picked an opportunistic time for his first points of the night on a long three to cut it to 49-40 at the under-8 timeout.
The lead was cut to 51-47 on a layup inside by Bruce Ellington. Clemson faced a zone on the other end, and toward the end of the shot clock, Greenwood native Harrison buried a three to make it a seven-point game at the final timeout. The Gamecocks turned the ball over on back-to-back possessions down eight with less than three minutes to play, and Clemson converted its free throws down the stretch to pull away.
The Tigers return to action on Saturday, Dec. 8 to take on a top-10 Arizona team. Tipoff is scheduled for 8:00 PM from Littlejohn Coliseum.

According to copywriter and consultant Tess Wittler, one of the biggest pitfalls to contractors is communication (or lack thereof), and often it begins with your customer not fully-understanding the construction process. With the need for multiple drawing approvals, bids, material lead-times and inspections, jobs can be slow and complex, and while you know this process, your customers don't, so it is important to take the time and care to fully explain it to them (and yes, do a little hand-holding along the way).
One way to improve communications is by creating content. Content, such as written documents, checklists, charts and videos, can help your customers understand the construction process better.
Bruce Harley, technical director of Conservation Services Group in Westboro, Mass., and author of Insulate and Weatherize, responds: In this notoriously leaky and difficult-to-insulate area, both the insulation and the air barrier must be continuous to prevent outside air from moving freely through the knee wall and into the rest of the house. While fiberglass batt insulation is effective when installed properly, it won't stop air infiltration, regardless of how much is added to the knee-wall cavity. Without a continuous air barrier, outside air can enter through soffit vents, wash through insulation, and flow through joist bays.

When Honey Brook, Pa.-based Spring Creek Design starts a renovation or construction project, they not only look out for their clients, but the surrounding neighbors as well. In a goodwill effort that promotes the company and the work they do, the owners assemble and hand out up to 10 goody baskets to neighbors surrounding the work area during the first week of the project.
According to the NARI National News, Peter Cooper, principal of the residential design/build remodeling and construction firm, says the goody baskets fulfill two purposes: They serve as a marketing tool in the neighborhood the company is working in and as a client relationship tool.
According to Janet Blake, FastenMaster Communications Manager, she is a marketing professional in the building industry and a homeowner looking for the services of a professional contractor. "I'm not looking for fast and cheap. I'm looking for high quality work at a reasonable price. Someone who takes pride in their work so that I can too," she says.
Blake doesn't look for contractors in the phone book or the local newspaper. She looks online. She may ask her neighbors for recommendations, but will always follow-up with an online search to learn more about a business prior to making contact.
