Ukrainian MySQLer needs help to cover the cost of his son's operation
How can the open-source community help its own? Here's one way.
MySQL has been very good to the open-source world. In turn, I'd like to see if we can give something back.
Andrii Nikitin is one of MySQL's support engineers based in Ukraine. As Zack Urlocker recently posted on his blog, however, Andrii has a major concern right now which has nothing to do with customer support:
Andrii's son Ivan, who is 2 1/2, is in need of a bone marrow transplant operation. This will require going to a clinic in Europe that will not be covered by regular insurance. So Andrii has aksed to see if we could help raise funds. The cost is expected to be $150,000 - $250,000. A huge amount for an engineer from Ukraine to cover. But a small amount by many people could make a big difference.
Consistent with your interest and means, I'd encourage you to help Andrii out.

By Daniel Collier and Chad Kerksick, Ph.D., FISSN | Nov 5, 2009
From ancient herbs and extracts to synthetic tablets and drink mixes, there have always been a host of products that promise to wipe out fatigue and deliver a prolonged period of peak abundant energy. Some of these products have been straight forward like caffeine, but others are derived from ancient Oriental medicine or even appear to be a hocus-pocus act from some crazy scientist.
Everyone needs more energy!
Perhaps, right now, you've got an IV of caffeine going to straight into your blood. Just kidding, but we all can use a pick-me-up and especially those who work full time (both at their job and on the social scene), chase around friends, family and kids, and who exercise regularly. Which products can be counted on? Which ones may let you down? Increased energy is easy, but the crash from it is all too familiar. Sustained energy is the hard part and those products which can deliver over the long haul are the ones which will help you finish with a kick during your
10 K run
or finish a
workout with an extra set or two.
In order to help you make informed choices among so many
alternatives, we've assembled a
Top 10
of the best products available. As always, we've broken down and assessed the overall effectiveness and practicality of the ingredients found in each of the most popular formulations listed below.
1. Product: Raptor Extreme Endurance Bar - Supreme Protein
Price: $22.95 / 12 bars
What is it?
A new player in the endurance bar category, the makers of
Raptor Bars
Supreme Protein
) have done their homework regarding this formulation. Looking to approach energy from a different angle, the bar provides a comprehensive array of the necessary nutrients required by the body to produce energy and recover from stressful exercise. Instead of loading up with caffeine, various herbs and extracts, the bar's formulation is centered on a proprietary gel system to deliver needed carbohydrates, plus a well-balanced mixture of essential amino acids to promote energy production during short and very long bouts of exercise.
Expert Opinion:
The carbohydrate delivery gel capitalizes on recent research that maximizes carbohydrate oxidative during exercise and delivers the necessary amino acids which are essential for muscle recovery.
This bar is ideally suited for elite athletes who demand optimal recovery and delivery of energy during their hours of training. Several studies have documented the effectiveness of a 4:1 carbohydrate-to-protein ratio for minimizing muscle damage and promoting recovery of muscle carbohydrate (Ivy J et al. 2002, Williams MB et al. 2003, Ivy J et al. 2008). Further, the delivery of essential amino acids is imperative in maximizing muscle protein balance and recovery (Tipton K et al. 1999, Borsheim E et al. 2002, Borsheim E et al. 2004).
2. Product: BetaStax - BioQuest
Price: $28.89 / 60 Capsules
What is it?
contains a unique thermogenic technology that has been shown to
enhance energy and target fat loss concurrently. Not relying exclusively on stimulants like so many other thermogenic formulas on the market, BetaStax's transformational power derives from a matrix of ultra-bioactive energy factors combined with a breakthrough weight-loss technology called PureWaySlim. This new technology has generated some of the most remarkable results ever seen in this category.
Expert Opinion:
Simply put, this product really works! In fact, in a recent landmark clinical study, subjects who took the active ingredient in BetaStax prior to two major meals daily experienced significantly greater reduction in body weight, waist and hip circumferences (when compared to placebo treatment) as early as two weeks and continuing throughout the duration of the study. Anecdotal evidence from hard-training athletes also credits BetaStax with remarkable upsurges in energy, vitality and intensity, with no consequent energy crash.
If you want explosive energy that you can feel within minutes along with measurable weight-loss in as little as two weeks,
is the clear standout product in the highly competitive thermogenic category.
3. Product: Sublingual B-12 - ProSource
Price: $4.75 /100 Lozenges
What is it?
Known as the "
energy vitamin
is a nutrient valued for restoring vitality and enhancing energy levels. This fruit flavored lozenge contains cyanocobalamin, a form of B-12 that can be absorbed under the tongue for a superior delivery directly into the blood stream. A
deficiency is linked with low energy levels, depression and poor cognitive functioning.
Expert Opinion:
If maintaining enhanced energy production and mental
focus over extended intervals is important to you, then you should strongly consider
Vitamin B12
supplementation. When you do, make sure you supplement with a maximum-potency, premium-grade formulation like ProSource's
, for superior bioavailability and assimilation. In short, super-potency B12 is a highly safe energy booster that can potentially make the difference between faltering in the stretch run and cruising on to victory in any athletic endeavor.
Vitamin B12 is an important factor for maintaining the neurological health balance and the synthesis of myelin (a complex protein, constituting the sheath protecting nerve fibers). It is also a key component in the metabolism of fatty acids and the synthesis of proteins and carbohydrates. Furthermore, B12 enhances the activity of the immune system and the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions.
As people age, their ability to absorb B-12 declines. By avoiding poor absorption in the GI tract, the sublingual route is an optimal means of supplementation with this vitamin.
4. Product: Co-Enzyme-Q10 - ProSource
Price: $16.95 / 60 capsules
What is it?
A critically important nutrient that occurs naturally in the body and i
s required for the mitochondria to make ATP (your energy currency) and convert the foods we eat into energy. However, due to excessive periods of high energy, exercise, and or physical stress the body often cannot supply enough CoQ10 for optimum energy output. Thus, CoQ10 supplemen
tation is promoted to offer an important performance edge, particularly to endurance athletes who may be deficient in the nutrient.
Expert Opinion:
CoQ10 has stimulating effects on the body's metabolism and it delivers powerful antioxidant support for heart health. (Indeed, CoQ10 levels have been shown to be tremendously depleted in patients with a variety of heart conditions and in patients during therapy with cholesterol-lowering drugs.)
plays a critical role in the most basic of intracellular processes for active people; it facilitates the electron transport chain in the Krebs cycle, which is critical for producing energy via ATP.
5. Product: FRS Healthy Energy Drink Mix - FRS
Price:$12.95 / Box of 14 single serving packets
What is it?
Give FRS some credit, when they go and out and find people to stand by their product, they have an impressive list. First there is Lance Armstrong. A seven-time Tour de France winner and recent 3rd place finisher after taking two years off at the age of 37, Lance is an endurance icon. Add to this list, NBA champion Derek Fisher and a Harvard medical school trained sports physician and people in the public will likely listen. FRS has emerged as one of
the top natural energy boosting performance brands. This powdered drink mix comes in a box of 14 single serving packets designed to deliver a healthy sustained energy boost. With only 10 calories per packet, the mix combines key ingredients - quercetin (250 to 323 mg) and catechins (20 to 100 mg) from green tea extract along with vitamins E, C and a spectrum of B vitamins to reportedly deliver a sustained energy enhancement. In addition to their original powder formulation, FRS now is available as candy chews, ready-to-drinks and a concentrated formula to be mixed with water.
Expert Opinion:
In the last few years, independently reported study res
ults have finally begun to appear on FRS. Relative to energy production and performance, the ergogenic benefits are not well documented, however, improvements in immune function are consistently found. As part of a daily strategy to offset the stress of training, it may have some benefit.
Nieman DC and colleagues (2007) concluded that daily quercitin supplementation did not alter immune function, but did reduce the incidence of upper-respiratory tract infections and in 2009 the same research group found that two weeks of supplementation augmented oxidative stress activity and altered in a positive way the inflammatory response seen after 3 days of heavy cycling. In fact, several studies by this research group have consistently shown improvements in immune responses (See Nieman DC).
6. Product: 5-Hour Energy - Living Essentials
Price: Retail: $2.99/2-oz (59 mL) or $23.95 / 12 bottle case
What is it?
Promoted as a blend of B-vitamins (B3, B6, folic acid B12), minerals (sodium), amino acids (taurine, phenylalanine, tyrosine) and caffeine designed to deliver a sustained energy boost, 5-Hour Energy contains virtually the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. Conveniently available in gas stations and grocery stores across the U.S. and Canada, 5-Hour Energy was the first shot energy drink to hit the market and is currently the number one selling brand of its kind. Like Red Bull, it markets itself across many sectors of professional sports and sporting activities.
Expert Opinion:
Some of the ingredients may offer the brain a small boost, but this is not a full-spectrum energy product.
Low in carbs so avoids the typical spike and crash phenomena associated with many products that have fast absorbing sugars. The caffeine and amino acids provide a short-term stimulation of energy levels.
7. Product: NO-Xplode
Price:$35.50 / 2.25 lb
What is it?
A wide-reaching formulation of ingredients that will impact muscle hypertrophy, vasodilation and recovery. As a class of products, nitric-oxide (hence the NO in
) modulators are designed to key on a physiological mechanism that increases vasodilation and improves delivery of nutrients resulting in greater training adaptations. Marketed more towards resistance training athletes, the product also contains creatine, other amino acids, caffeine, vitamins, minerals and other factors.
Expert Opinion:
Certainly, the inclusion of ingredients such as creatine, beta-alanine and other amino acids will facilitate adaptations to regular resistance training. Arginine and nitric oxide modulators have been shown to increase vasodilation.
A study by Campbell B et al. 2006 reported marginal improvements for increases in bench press strength and cycling power in men who resistance-trained for several weeks. Across the entire spectrum of nutrients, a wide array is provided. Several ingredients are key components to our physiological energy systems.
8. Product: Ginseng - NOW
Price:$13.95 / 250 capsules
What is it?
One of the most researched herbs on earth, ginseng has been used for thousands of years in China as a universal remedy for balancing energy, stress, mood, and immunity. Modern day ginseng supplementation is said to improve exercise performance, stamina, and reduce fatigue by reducing the body's need for the adrenal gland to produce cortisol.
Expert Opinion:
Many health claims have been attributed to ginseng, but dosages vary widely among brands.
The results of studies investigating the effects of ginseng on exercise performance are mixed, but many have been relatively uncontrolled or used too low a dose to show effectiveness. Controlled studies have shown a moderate effect for improving endurance exercise capacity. Recent studies suggest it may aid in recovery by improving oxidative stress responses (Kim SH et al. 2005), but this remains to be validated.
9. Product: Red Bull Energy Drink
Price: $2.00 / 8.3 ounce can
What is it?
One of the dominant players in the energy drink market in the U.S. and worldwide. Sales data from 2006 reports over 3 billion cans sold in over 1
0 countries. Sponsoring numerous activities ranging from extreme sporting events like windsurfing, snowboarding, skateboarding, wakeboarding, cliff-diving, surfing, Formula 1 racing, and breakdancing to art shows, mus
ic, and video games, Red Bull's company slogan is "It give you Wi-i-iings." With active ingredients such as taurine, glucuronolactone, inositol, and high amounts of sugar (27g) and caffeine (80.0 mg per can - double the amount of the average soft drink but similar to a cup of coffee), Red Bull is known to give an intense short-term energy boost.
Expert Opinion:
A rather simple but effective formula (sugar and caffeine) to promote increases in energy. Energy response, however, is transient, meaning it has a quick onset and unfortunately a quick departure. Study res
ults are mixed as Ivy J et al. 2009 reported an increase in time-to-exhaustion cycling performance and Forbes SC et al. 2007 an increase in upper-body muscle endurance. Similar studies, however, have found no changes in average power output during sprint (Forbes SC et al. 2007) and a run to exhaustion of 80% maximal capacity (Candow DG et al. 2009).
(sugar) are a valuable source of energ
y to our muscles during exercise. Caffeine is a popular supplement that has been well researched to increase fat burning, improve endurance and decrease perceived exertion.
10. Product: Monster Energy
Price:$32.00/24-pack of 16 fl oz. cans (amazon.com)
What is it?
A wildly popular energy drink much in the same class as Red Bull, Rockstar, etc. Like all other energy drinks, Monster contains a mixture of high amounts of sugar, caffeine, taurine, ginseng, carnitine, glucuronolactone and vitamins.
Expert Opinion:
If you've had one you've had them all. Much of the mixtures and formulations are the same with a tweak here and a tweak there. Yes, they will increase your energy levels, but consuming them as a part of a weight loss or weight management program has not been shown to promote beneficial outcomes. Any increase in calorie burning will be largely offset by the calories contained in the drink.
Ingredients will certainly result in a sharp increase in feelings of energy. The sugars found in the drink will help to provide a source of energy during exercise. Carnitine and taurine may help to facilitate fat burning but these findings have yet to substantiated in humans during exercise.

Cornerstone Inn
Cornerstone Inn has a long and beautiful history. The ornate Italianate building gracing the square at Washington and North Main streets in Washington, IL has a history as rich as its architecture. Washington native Charles Anthony and German immigrant Henry Denhart built the brick-and-stone structure in 1874 after having co-owned a neighboring dry goods store in the previous decade. Their former business was a meeting spot for a pre-presidential Abraham Lincoln and other politicians. Denhart and Anthony had purchased the store from Richard D. Smith after he was appointed town postmaster by Lincoln. After the Great Depression, the building remained vacant from 1937 to 1948, when Heiple reopened it as Washington State Bank. This version of the bank later relocated to its current site to the west of the square. Several businesses moved in over time, including a barbershop, numerous bars, and a German restaurant called the Rathskeller. Although its beauty was still evident, the building needed a facelift. In 2004, we began the painstaking process of restoring the structure to its original 19th century Italianate glory. A year later, the U.S. Department of Interior granted it a place on the Federal Register of Historic places for its historic and architectural relevance. We at the Cornerstone Inn are proud to occupy a spot in this historically rich edifice.

Due to shipping delays, this only arrived in my Santa's hands three weeks ago. A little under two weeks ago, it arrived. And yea, it was found to be AWESOME.
These photos were taken today, because weirdness here and lack of time everywhere else. Apologies for the quality: I used my phone for ease-of-upload, and because my camera's battery is flat (and if I delay any longer, I may NEVER do this).

STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. TheStreet Ratings team rates COMCAST CORP as a Buy with a ratings score of A+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate COMCAST CORP (CMCSA) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, growth in earnings per share, increase in net income and attractive valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company shows weak operating cash flow." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- CMCSA's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 4.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.2%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- The strong earnings growth this company has enjoyed -- up -- has apparently played a role in driving up its share price by a solid 27.22%. In addition, the rise in the general market has likely contributed to this stock's strong performance during this past year.Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, CMCSA should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.
- COMCAST CORP has improved earnings per share by 28.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past two years. We feel that this trend should continue. During the past fiscal year, COMCAST CORP increased its bottom line by earning $2.56 versus $2.29 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($5.74 versus $2.56).
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has exceeded that of the S&P 500 and greatly outperformed compared to the Media industry average. The net income increased by 26.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $1,518.00 million to $1,913.00 million.

The homeless man whose face was pretty much chewed off in a crazy, terrible attack faces the biggest threat of infection. According to facial reconstruction experts his main concern at this time is not so much the injuries he sustained but the germs that got in him during the attack.
Ronald Poppo, the attack victim, will definitely be permanently disfigured after seeing the gruesome pictures that surfaced on the web. The only feature that could be made out on his face was his beard, the rest of his face was pretty much gone. Also, one of the eyes of 65 year old Poppo was gouged out.
"The human mouth is basically filthy," said Dr. Seth Thaller, the chief of plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine.
It is still not clear as to why Poppo was attacked on Saturday afternoon by 31-year-old Rudy Eugene alongside the busy highway MacArthur Causeway. Police still haven't released many details about the brutal attack, but surveillance video from a nearby building shows Eugene pulling Poppo from the shade where he was what looked to be napping, then he beat and stripped Poppo before appearing to bend over and then lie on top of him.
Also new reports are coming out that Rudy Eugene wasn't homeless and was actually working at a car detail place. His girlfriend said he was acting kind of strange the night before the attack happened. She had also said the earlier Saturday morning Eugene called her and said his car had broke down. According to reports his car was also towed that day for parking in a non parking spot.

PIX | What we've seen so far II
(Photo: CPH PIX)
12 Monkeys meet The Fifth Element in Brazil: A flat-pack Gilliam fantasy that falls flat despite much existential musing, twanging gadgetry, oddball overturing and voluptuous casting.
The Zero Theorem
Dir: Terry Gilliam
UK, 2013, sci-fi/fantasy, 107 minutes
Christoph Waltz, Mélanie Thierry, David Thewlis, Matt Damon, Tilda Swinton
A starkly eloquent kitchen sink drama that takes time to linger in mood and detail while unravelling a delinquent friendship in an impoverished hinterland of northern England.
The Selfish Giant
Dir: Clio Barnard
UK, drama, 2013, 91 minutes
Conner Chapman, Shaun Thomas, Ralph Ineson, Ian Burfield, Everal Walsh
A mesmerising and sensory take on the Mafia theme that expertly suppresses dialogue and imagery in order to align the audience with characters through sound over action.
Dir: Fabio Grassadonia/Antonio Piazza
Italy, drama, 2013, 104 minutes
Saleh Bakri, Sara Serraiocco, Luigi Lo Cascio, Giuditta Perriera, Mario Pupella
While the 3D, Greenaway and Godard largely disappoint, the find here is lesser known Portuguese director Pêra's weird and wacky whirlwind of a film; a sharply astute indictment of mainstream cinema and culture.
Dir: Edgar Pêra/Peter Greenaway/Jean-Luc Godard
Brazil, shorts, 2013, 70 minutes
Nuno Melo, Jorge Prendas, Miguel Monteiro, Keith Davis, Leonor Keil
Filmed in a remote Scottish fishing community, the regular insertions of Malick-inspired dream montage and whispered narration set the tone for this story of loss, grief and isolation.
For Those in Peril

Rx Drug Alert Video
There's an alarming increase in the number of teens abusing ADHD medications. Find out how to keep your child safe in this Good Housekeeping report.
A recent study of phone calls made to poison-control tracking centers showed a dramatic increase

 76% of teens abusing ADHD medications.

Teens can get a hold of these medications from friends who have prescriptions or they might buy them online and then they can take them orally, just, you know, as pills, or they could crush them up and snort them.

The experts have some advice for parents to protect their teens or others from abusing medications.

First, store your child's ADHD medication in a locked cabinet.

The second tip is that parents need to keep the pills in their original bottles so that they can monitor how many pills are there. The third piece of advice is to really talk to your teen about what these drugs are. Tell that they're addictive, potentially addictive, stimulants that can alter your heart rate and your blood pressure and can cause seizures and heart attacks.

Use this opportunity to explain to your children the importance of taking medications exactly as they are prescribed. Jacqueline Boulden for Good Housekeeping Reports.

Szechuan Shrimp Stir Fry with Fried Rice
Yesterday was Fat Tuesday and although I could have have done a Cajun-inspired shrimp and rice stir fry, I went in the Asian direction instead.
This dinner went from skillet to table in less than 15 minutes and was a one pot special. Gotta love a speedy weeknight meal. Or a speedy any night meal.
It also was a freezer and refrigerator drawer use what I have on-hand special.
I used shrimp from the freezer that I thawed, an assortment of vegetables, some of which were fresh, some were previously frozen, doused it all in Szechuan sauce and a drizzle of oil.
That's it and then I sauteed it for 5 minutes.
I portioned the food onto plates, put previously cooked rice into the same skillet, Szechuan sauce remnants and all, cracked an egg and stirred, and the fried rice was done in a hot second.
The family was in such a rush to eat, I didn't take rice pictures so use your imagination. It's rice.
The star of the meal was the meat and potatoes the shrimp and veggies, and it received rave reviews.
Skylar loved it and chugged about 16 ounces of water throughout the meal and told me how spicy it was, but how good it was.
I think the Szechuan sauce has a little ka-ka kick. Scott said that it was spicy but not ridiculously so.
Then again, my idea of spicy and yours may differ since I can eat Hot Pepper Jelly with jalepeno peppers and serano chiles by the spoonful.
I can't eat shrimp because I developed an anaphalatic reaction to them as an adult. About ten years ago, I went out to dinner with Scott, we shared a shrimp and vegetable stir fry at an Asian restaurant (oh the irony), and about a half hour after we left the restaurant, I started swelling up, my body became covered in hives, my airway started closing, I couldn't breathe, and I spent a perfectly good Saturday night in the emergency room when I could have been out drinking and whooping it up. Those darn shrimp.
The doctors said there is no explanation why I suddenly developed an allergic reaction to them, but I had spent a lifetime eating shrimp, but they said it can and does happen, so I have to avoid them forever because anaphalatic shock and airway closure is not something you want to mess around with. It tends to put a damper on dinners.
Szechuan Shrimp Stir Fry with Fried Rice (Gluten-Free)
A fast, easy, and healthy dish that's full of robust flavors and packs a punch from the Szechuan sauce. The vegetables stay a bit crispy and crunchy and the rice rounds out this satisfying meal. Who needs takeout when you can DIY in 15 minutes!
Yield: serves 2
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: about 10 minutes
Total Time: about 15 minutes
Shrimp and Vegetables
1 dozen medium shrimp, cleaned
3 to 4 cups mixed vegetables (broccoli, red pepper, green pepper, carrots, green beans, peapods, sugar snap peas, water chestnuts, mushrooms, baby corn, asparagus, etc.)
2/3 cup Szechuan sauce (use Szechuan sauce that's an appropriate heat level for your taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or sesame, peanut, or canola oil)
Fried Rice
1 to 2 cups cooked rice (cook rice according to directions or use previously cooked, leftover rice, or bagged rice like Uncle Ben's Ready Rice)
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil (or sesame, peanut, or canola oil)
1 egg
1/2 cup diced vegetables, optional (carrots, peas, water chestnuts, mushrooms, peppers, bean sprouts, same vegetables used in stir fry, etc.)
- Shrimp and Vegetables - Combine all ingredients in a wok or large skillet and cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until shrimp are done (opaque) and vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and place food on plates.
- Fried Rice - Drizzle wok or skillet with oil (it's okay and preferable if there is leftover Szechuan sauce remnants in the skillet for flavor) add the rice, vegetables, crack the egg and stir.
- Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until egg is done and the rice has begun to brown a bit. Serve immediately. Food is best warm and fresh but leftovers will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Here are a few other stir fries and meals with rice:
Caribbean Coconut Rice with Garbanzos & Veggies (vegan, GF)
Mango Balsamic Rice, Beans, & Mixed Vegetables (vegan, GF)
Caribbean Citrus & Veggie Stir Fry (vegan, GF)
Apple Glazed Vegetable & Edamame Stir Fry (vegan, GF)
Do you like stir fries?
I do because they're easy, one-pot, fast, and I can clean out all the odds and ends from the bottom of the refrigerator drawer and freezer that I want to use.
On the spicy meter, where do you fall? So mild you mistake your food for eating air, mild, medium, hot, or burn the house down and set off the fire alarm hot?
I have evolved into the last one. I love hot, but I don't like sodium. There's a difference which is why I personally don't consume many prepared sauces because there's an RDA's worth of sodium in one tablespoon and I one tablespoon is a joke and I need about 17. Thus, I make my own hot sauce.

WoW Insider reviews Christie Golden's Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects
Almost a year later, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos was released, and that orc's journey from the beleaguered, Scourge-ridden lands of the Eastern Kingdoms to the dusty and barren shores of Kalimdor was told in a tale that captured the hearts of players. No longer simply a character in a novel, Thrall's travels and ultimate triumph, united with the night elves and humans at the peaks of Mount Hyjal and working as one to defeat Archimonde, would forever seal his place as true Warchief of the Horde.
It is only appropriate then that the latest novel written for the Warcraft franchise, detailing the further journeys of Thrall, be undertaken by the woman who started it all -- Christie Golden. Not just an author with a host of Warcraft novels under her belt, Golden is the voice of the former Warchief, the author who gave him a life of his own. Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects continues the journey that Thrall began nearly 10 years ago -- and what a journey it is.
In The Shattering, Thrall questioned his place as Warchief and whether or not he really knew himself at all. Quick to point this out was Aggra (who we have now seen in game on more than one occasion) silently standing by her love or picking up the pieces and steadfastly putting them together again. What we don't see is what went on behind the scenes prior to the Elemental Bonds quest line, and the placing of Twilight of the Aspects within this timeline is a little murky. It may have happened before Elemental Bonds; it may have happened just after. The book isn't really clear, and doesn't address the game as clearly as it ought. But that is the sole complaint I have with this book, and it is a minor one.
It seems that Golden is blessed with a golden pen. I would not be surprised to see this novel hit the New York Times Bestseller List, just like Arthas and The Shattering. Golden's grasp of Thrall as a character was highlighted in The Shattering, and while most (including myself) agree it was a wonderful book, Twilight of the Aspects completely blows it out of the water.
Thrall's continuing quest of self-discovery is wonderfully written, and Aggra, a character who lamentably seemed like a footnote in The Shattering, takes a stronger role in Twilight of the Aspects. Though she is conspicuously (and rightfully) absent for the majority of the book, her influence on Thrall is a constant presence throughout the novel. Also featured are all four uncorrupted dragonflights, each with its own unique problems and issues.
As for Nozdormu, his curious disappearance was explained away in The Burning Crusade, when the opening of the Caverns of Time revealed a new villain in the franchise: the Infinite Dragonflight. Though Nozdormu's exact location was unknown, in Wrath of the Lich King we saw the Aspect in a vision at the Bronze Dragonshrine in Dragonblight. But though the vision was discovered, his exact location remained an unknown until he mysteriously appeared during the Elemental Bonds quest line, with nary a nod to his whereabouts prior to the event.
That's where the muddled timeline in Twilight of the Aspects comes into play. Nozdormu's absence is directly addressed in this novel, yet Aggra and Thrall seem to already be a couple at the beginning of the book. The story centers around Ysera, no longer the Dreamer but the Awakened, sending Thrall on a random, seemingly unimportant errand that turns into a journey morphing into an epic, sweeping tale of a foe so dire that it threatens to wipe the Aspects from the face of Azeroth forever. The Aspects and the dragonflights must stand together, but the beginning of the book has the four uncorrupted flights still at odds with each other.
When I first heard tales of the legendary quest line included in patch 4.2 and that it involved the decision of Malygos' successor, I was a bit dismayed to realize I was going to be missing out on a giant chunk of lore that would be unobtainable to me as a rogue. Turns out my fears were entirely set at ease, as the events are also addressed in Twilight of the Aspects. The other, more looming worry was that as we saw with Stormrage, major events that originated in World of Warcraft would again be written away in a novel -- specifically the genesis, origin, and defeat of the Infinite Dragonflight.
I needn't have worried. While there is much given in the way of information, nothing is clearly resolved, and the Infinite Dragonflight remains a threat to be dealt with another day. But the novel itself traverses not only Azeroth but also the timelines and events that make up its history. Normally time travel would make me leery, but Twilight of the Aspects manages to take what would ordinarily be a very confusing trip through the timelines and present it in a manner that leaves the reader completely clear with what is going on and why. Also made perfectly clear is how a new Aspect is chosen -- a question that had been bothering me ever since Malygos' death.
Perhaps the most refreshing thing in the novel are the characters themselves. Golden has a strong grasp on writing characters in a way that draws the reader in. In Twilight of the Aspects, she masterfully handles a gigantic cast of new faces and old -- in some cases, very old. Whether Thrall or Alexstrasza or a few characters we haven't seen in print before, each has their own voice; each is important to the story. From legends of the past to new faces that we'd simply brushed aside, all are handled with care and precision. You care who lives in this book; you care who dies. You care about the final outcome and what happens to all involved.
As for the villain of the book and the nature of the danger involved ... well, that would be spoiling content. I will simply say that there are far more villains presented in this novel than one would expect, and far more deaths, each a continual shock and revelation, the final name spoken only once over the course of the book. What we can gather from this is that in Cataclysm, it's not just the villains of present day we have to worry about. In a world where timelines are deliberately manipulated, in a world where the Twilight Cult corrupts everything it touches, everyone is suspect -- both present-day and those thought long left to the annals of history.
As for Golden, I have to applaud her on another job well done. It's been nearly 10 years since she first introduced us to a blue-eyed, unassuming orc who would change the course of history and the lore of Azeroth for good. Her work has done nothing but improve in leaps and bounds ever since.
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm has destroyed Azeroth as we know it; nothing is the same! In WoW Insider's Guide to Cataclysm, you can find out everything you need to know about WoW's third expansion, from leveling up a new goblin or worgen to breaking news and strategies on endgame play.

Understanding 40G and 100G Ethernet Distances and Trade-Offs on OM3 and OM4 Fibers
Free registration required
Executive Summary
The IEEE 802.3ba amendment that will add 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s rates to the Ethernet standard is nearing completion, scheduled for publication in mid 2010. The draft currently specifies supportable distances of 100 meters on OM3 fiber and 150 meters on OM4 fiber for both rates. The common distances for both rates are the result of using inverse multiplexing over parallel fibers, wherein the signals are transmitted over multiple lanes, each operating at 10 Gb/s. The 40 Gb/s interface employs four of these lanes in each direction, while the 100 Gb/s interface employs ten.

GOP braces for Medicare Blowback
Submitted by bobbyw24 on Tue, 05/24/2011 - 08:14By JENNIFER HABERKORN & JOHN BRESNAHAN | 5/24/11 4:18 AM EDT
This week, an off-year special election in Buffalo and a purely symbolic vote in the Senate might tell Republicans all they need to know about the mercurial politics of Medicare reform.
First up is New York's 26th District in a special election Tuesday. If Democrat Kathy Hochul wins — she is leading by 4 to 6 points in the latest polls — it not only would be a setback for House Republicans but would send a message to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his key lieutenants that their Medicare overhaul plan could become a serious political liability.
