Dorchester Two will be well represented at the Class AAAA boys' golf tournament next week.
Ashley Ridge finished runner-up at the Class AAAA Lower State Golf Tournament held Monday at Sunset Country Club in Sumter. The Swamp Foxes finished with a team total of 292, only four strokes behind Lower State Champion South Aiken. Austin Zoller fired a 68 for the Swamp Foxes to finish second in the overall individual standings. Freshman Zak Butt shot a 71 and finished in the Top 5 individually as well. Ben Crimminger (76) and Aaron Schmitt (77) rounded out the team's solid play.
Summerville finished in a tie for fifth place with a 315 team total. Christian Woods, Sam Myers and Dylan Bunch all had rounds in the 70's to help the Green Wave also qualify for the state tournament.
Fort Dorchester finished with a team total of 316. The Patriots made it into the state tournament by way of playoff, finishing in seventh place. RJ Keur led the way for the Fort by shooting a round in the low 70s and Deej Elder also came in with a round in the 70s.
Other teams advancing from the Lower State are South Aiken (288), Wando (306), Lexington (312), West Florence (315) and Sumter (316). The state tournament is a 54-hole event and will take place next Monday and Tuesday at Furman Golf Club.

Human Pharmacology
Serum level studies with a 150 mg oral dose of clindamycin hydrochloride in 24 normal adult volunteers showed that clindamycin was rapidly absorbed after oral administration. An average peak serum level of 2.50 mcg/mL was reached in 45 minutes; serum levels averaged 1.51 mcg/mL at 3 hours and 0.70 mcg/mL at 6 hours. Absorption of an oral dose is virtually complete (90%), and the concomitant administration of food does not appreciably modify the serum concentrations; serum levels have been uniform and predictable from person to person and dose to dose. Serum level studies following multiple doses of CLEOCIN (clindamycin) HCl for up to 14 days show no evidence of accumulation or altered metabolism of drug.
Serum half-life of clindamycin is increased slightly in patients with markedly reduced renal function. Hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are not effective in removing clindamycin from the serum.
Concentrations of clindamycin in the serum increased linearly with increased dose. Serum levels exceed the MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration) for most indicated organisms for at least six hours following administration of the usually recommended doses. Clindamycin is widely distributed in body fluids and tissues (including bones). The average biological half-life is 2.4 hours. Approximately 10% of the bioactivity is excreted in the urine and 3.6% in the feces; the remainder is excreted as bioinactive metabolites.
Doses of up to 2 grams of clindamycin per day for 14 days have been well tolerated by healthy volunteers except that the incidence of gastrointestinal side effects is greater with the higher doses.
No significant levels of clindamycin are attained in the cerebrospinal fluid, even in the presence of inflamed meninges.
Pharmacokinetic studies in elderly volunteers (61-79 years) and younger adults (18-39 years) indicate that age alone does not alter clindamycin pharmacokinetics (clearance, elimination half-life, volume of distribution, and area under the serum concentration-time curve) after IV administration of clindamycin phosphate. After oral administration of clindamycin hydrochloride, elimination half life is increased to approximately 4.0 hours (range 3.4-5.1 h) in the elderly compared to 3.2 hours (range 2.1 - 4.2 h) in younger adults. The extent of absorption, however, is not different between age groups and no dosage alteration is necessary for the elderly with normal hepatic function and normal (age adjusted) renal function.
Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S subunit of the ribosome. It has activity against Gram-positive aerobes and anaerobes as well as the Gram-negative anaerobes. Clindamycin is bacteriostatic. Cross-resistance between clindamycin and lincomycin is complete. Antagonism in vitro has been demonstrated between clindamycin and erythromycin.
Clindamycin has been shown to be active against most of the isolates of the following microorganisms, both in vitro and in clinical infections, as described in the INDICATIONS section.
Gram-positive aerobes
Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible strains)
Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-susceptible strains)
Streptococcus pyogenes
Prevotella melaninogenica
Fusobacterium necrophorum
Fusobacterium nucleatum
Peptostreptococcus anaerobius
Clostridium perfringens
The following in vitro data are available, but their clinical significance is unknown. At least 90% of the following microorganisms exhibit an in vitro minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) less than or equal to the susceptible breakpoint for clindamycin. However, the safety and effectiveness of clindamycin in treating clinical infections due to these microorganisms have not been established in adequate and well-controlled clinical trials.
Gram-positive aerobes
Staphylococcus epidermidis (methicillin-susceptible strains)
Streptococcus agalactiae
Streptococcus anginosus
Streptococcus oralis
Streptococcus mitis
Prevotella intermedia
Prevotella bivia
Propionibacterium acnes
Micromonas ("Peptostreptococcus") micros
Finegoldia ("Peptostreptococcus") magna
Actinomyces israelii
Clostridium clostridioforme
Eubacterium lentum
Susceptibility Testing Methods
NOTE: Susceptibility testing by dilution methods requires the use of clindamycin susceptibility powder.
When available, the results of in vitro susceptibility tests should be provided to the physician as periodic reports that describe the susceptibility profile of nosocomial and community-acquired pathogens. These reports should aid the physician in selecting the most effective antimicrobial.
Dilution Techniques
Quantitative methods are used to determine antimicrobial minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). These MICs provide estimates of the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial compounds. The MICs should be determined using a standardized procedure. Standardized procedures are based on a dilution method (broth and agar)1,2,3 or equivalent with standardized inoculum concentrations and standardized concentrations of clindamycin powder.The MIC values should be interpreted according to the criteria provided in Table 1.
Diffusion Techniques
Quantitative methods that require the measurement of zone diameters also provide reproducible estimates of the susceptibility of bacteria to antimicrobial compounds. One such standardized procedure2,3 requires the use of standardized inoculum concentrations. This procedure uses paper disks impregnated with 2 mcg of clindamycin to test the susceptibility of microorganisms to clindamycin. The disk diffusion interpretive criteria are provided in Table 1.
Table 1. Susceptibility Interpretive Criteria for Clindamycin
|Susceptibility Interpretive Criteria
| Minimal Inhibitory Concentrations
(MIC in mcg/mL)
| Disk Diffusion
(Zone Diameters in mm)
|Staphylococcus spp.
≤ 0.5
≥ 4
≥ 21
≤ 14
|Streptococcus pneumoniae and other Streptococcus spp.
|≤ 0.25*
|≥ 1
|≥ 19†
|≤ 15
|Anaerobic Bacteria‡
|≤ 2
|≥ 8
|NA=not applicable
* These interpretive standards for S. pneumoniae and other Streptococcus spp. are applicable only to tests performed by broth microdilution using cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth with 2 to 5% lysed horse blood inoculated with a direct colony suspension and incubated in ambient air at 35°C for 20 to 24 hours.
† These zone diameter interpretive standards are applicable only to tests performed using Mueller-Hinton agar supplemented with 5% sheep blood inoculated with a direct colony suspension and incubated in 5% CO2 at 35°C for 20 to 24 hours.
‡These interpretive criteria are for all anaerobic bacterial pathogens; no organism specific interpretive criteria are available.
A report of "Susceptible" indicates that the pathogen is likely to be inhibited if the antimicrobial compound in the blood reaches the concentrations usually achievable. A report of "Intermediate" indicates that the result should be considered equivocal, and if the microorganism is not fully susceptible to alternative, clinically feasible drugs, the test should be repeated. This category implies possible clinical applicability in body sites where the drug is physiologically concentrated or in situations where high dosage of drug can be used. This category also provides a buffer zone that prevents small, uncontrolled technical factors from causing major discrepancies in interpretation. A report of "Resistant" indicates that the pathogen is not likely to be inhibited if the antimicrobial compound in the blood reaches the concentrations usually achievable; other therapy should be selected.
Quality Control
Standardized susceptibility test procedures require the use of quality control microorganisms to control the technical aspects of the test procedures. Standard clindamycin powder should provide the following range of values noted in Table 2. NOTE: Quality control microorganisms are specific strains of organisms with intrinsic biological properties relating to resistance mechanisms and their genetic expression within bacteria; the specific strains used for microbiological quality control are not clinically significant.

† This quality control range for S pneumoniae is applicable only to tests performed by broth microdilution using cation-adjusted Mueller-Hinton broth with 2 to 5% lysed horse blood inoculated with a direct colony suspension and incubated in ambient air at 35°C for 20 to 24 hours.
‡ This quality control zone diameter range is applicable only to tests performed using Mueller-Hinton agar supplemented with 5% sheep blood inoculated with a direct colony suspension and incubated in 5% CO2 at 35°C for 20 to 24 hours.
Animal Toxicology
One year oral toxicity studies in Spartan Sprague-Dawley rats and beagle dogs at dose levels up to 300 mg/kg/day (approximately 1.6 and 5 4 times the highest recommended adult human dose based on mg/m2, respectively) have shown clindamycin to be well tolerated. No appreciable difference in pathological findings has been observed between groups of animals treated with clindamycin and comparable control groups. Rats receiving clindamycin hydrochloride at 600 mg/kg/day (approximately 3.2 times the highest recommended adult human dose based on mg/m2) for 6 months tolerated the drug well; however, dogs dosed at this level (approximately 10.8 times the highest recommended adult human dose based on mg/m2) vomited, would not eat, and lost weight.

There's nothing more aw-worthy than seeing celebrities from different industries become fans of each other. Justin Bieber tweeted at U.S. Olympic swimmer, Missy Franklin today that he heard that she's a fan of his. "Now im a fan of hers too. CONGRATS on winning GOLD!" and added the very adorable "#muchlove" tag. We wish we saw more of this celeb interaction! Athletes are glued to their headphones before competition to get pumped up in London and some Olympians have confessed their love for certain artists. What we'd like to see is these artists responding with support for the folks who are seriously earning their celebrity status this summer.
- Ryan Lochte loves Lil Wayne. How much so, you ask? Well, Wayne's song "Sky's the Limit" is on Lochte's pump-up playlist. Not only that but Lochte's dog's name is Carter, named after a certain Dwayne Michael Carter, aka rapper Lil Wayne. Oh, yeah, and there are those grills.
- The Dream Team's LeBron James loves Big K.R.I.T. James said that Big K.R.I.T's song, "I Got This" "was one of [the Miami Heat's] theme songs this year."
- Natasha Hastings, on the U.S. track and field team, loves herself some Nicki Minaj.She has the songs "Moment For Life" and "Beez In The Trap" on her pregame playlist.
- Amanda Furrer of the U.S. shooting team loves her fair share of top 40 artists, but also loves country music. She gets ready for action listening to Brooks and Dunn's "You Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl."
- Lolo Jones, a hurdler for Team USA, gave Miley Cyrus a shout out when saying that she is "embarrassed to say" that she has a Hannah Montana song on her work out playlist.
- Carmelo Anthony saidthat "one song I listen to before a game is 'Ain't No Love in the City' by Jay-Z." Carmelo said he can really relate to the song.
- Michael Phelps listens to electronic dance artists Avicii, Afrojack, and Skrillex because "guys like that give me more of an upbeat tune to get me even more fired up."
- The U.S. men's volleyball team gets fired up to Calvin Harris' "Let's Go," and understandably so! They list the song on their team playlist on YouTube as a part of the "Play Your Athletes" section.
- Gymnast Aly Raisman has admitted to having a case of Bieber Fever too. Guess it's going around in the London. So much love from U.S. athletes to Justin Bieber!
- Beach volleyball queen Misty May-Treanor likes music with rhythm. She said that when she listens to music like this she "can sustain workouts a little longer." She recently downloaded and is currently rocking out to French EDM pioneer David Guetta.
Your move, musicians. Show some love for those who love you!

Chefs Ming Tsai, Ken Oringer, Tony Maws and Jamie Bissonnette will host a charity dinner at Mike's City Diner on Nov. 7 to benefit New York restaurants affected by the storm. With an outpost of Oringer's popular Toro opening in New York, the James Beard Award-winning chef has an even stronger connection to the cause.
Boston magazine's Chowder blog reports that guests at the $500-per-person, 50-seat tasting can expect opulent ingredients like white truffles, lobster and foie gras and a raw bar sponsored by Island Creek Oysters to match the high price tag. All proceeds from the dinner will go to the American Red Cross, and will be designated specifically for the purposes of aiding New York restaurants. The 7-course menu also includes dishes from Michael Serpa of Neptune Oyster and Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery and Myers + Chang.
For two cities whose residents often butt heads, the gesture is that much more meaningful.

The picture is one that i took using my setup.
Step 1: Backdrop.
I wanted a more permanent, but yet still portable solution. It also needed to be cheap. I bought a load of PVC pipe and fittings for about £20. I then got into my lego mindset and assembled it into a frame like shape. I'm sure you can use your imaginations to create a stable design.
I then got a big piece of white fabric, this cost me about £3.
I sewed a pipe sized loop at the top off the piece of fabric, to loop it over the top of the frame.
Step 2: Flash.
Diffusers soften light, this makes for softer shadows, more aesthetically pleasing photo's. There are plenty of instructable's on making diffusers. I plan on making some one day... But for now, i use a tissue and some elastic bands.
But what i prefer to use, and find it works better, Is to aim the flash's at the ceiling (provided it is white) and use that as a big diffuser. The results are quite remarkable.
I have my flash's on tripods, but you can use anything really. Rest it on the floor or clamp it to your ears, I don't care.
To illuminate the whole object you are photographing, you want a flash on either side. You could use lamps, i guess. But you have to be careful, as they give off a more yellowish colour, which sucks.
If you do this be sure to monitor the temperature of any flash with this type of diffuser. There are many ibles on how to make a diffuser for low or no cost.
I am sure if you ask a professional or check your flashes manual he/it will tell you flashes get very hot and can cause a fire. My warning was for everyone's protection.
The following Warning is from my Nikon SB800 Flash manual;
"Do not fire the unit while the flash head is touching a person or object. Such use can result in the person being burned, and/or their clothes igniting from the heat of the flash's firing."
That's possibly 10x what I could get for mine.

Kenneth Quinnell, who's well known to Florida bloggers, particularly on the left, announced today that he is leaving the Kendrick Meek campaign. Interestingly enough, with 56 days to go, he's not being replaced.
Quinnell said in a post to the Florida Progressive Coalition blog, which he runs, that he was released by the campaign because he couldn't move to Miami to work out of campaign headquarters due to family issues (he is a divorced father with three kids including one with special needs) and because:
It really is a luxury for a campaign to have a full-time paid new media director when you are facing the combined fund-raising prowess of the sitting governor of one of the largest and most powerful states in the union and the darling of the Tea Party movement.
… meaning the campaign is shifting what cash it has onto TV and radio. Quinnell said he is not being replaced, and that his duties will be farmed out to other staffers. Which is a shame, because Kenny has actually done the campaign a service by strongly pushing back against some of the memes that kept liberal bloggers from getting on board. Eventually, he even managed to wrangle some positive Kos coverage.
Quinnell said he has no animosity toward the campaign (even though they just added him to the nation's unemployment numbers) and he still supports Meek as the best candidate for the Senate. Not sure if there will be an official announcement from the campaign.
Quinnell's post touched off a mini war of words between him and his favorite adversary, Michael Hussey of PushingRope, who has been holding regular seances for the Meek campaign almost since the Congressman announced (he has now declared the campaign to be a zombie, and from what I understand, he has been booted from the Progressive Blog Coalition for his trouble.) The spat doesn't mean much in and of itself, except that it illustrates the tough job Quinnell has had — starting with having to push back against netroots disappointment that liberal darling Dan Gelber was getting out of the Senate primary, and continuing as Quinnell had to do solo push-back against Markos Moulitsas, who was relentlessly hostile to the campaign in the early months, and openly wooing Charlie Crist to become a Democrat (and he wasn't alone) plus the ongoing, nagging doubts of left-leaning bloggers who thought Meek too corporate, too bland, or too … something … to merit the kind of national-level online push that Marco Rubio has enjoyed on the right.
That the campaign is now clipping its new media operation, essentially handing it off to a volunteer or other staffer as a part time gig, tells you the campaign isn't long on cash (word on the tweet is the Bill Clinton fundraiser in New York City Tuesday night raised about $175,000, which will buy, like 2 TV commercials in the I-4 for a day… hopefully the Biden funder will do better…) And as Quinnell said, what cash they have they're saving for TV and radio. Expect them to rely heavily on OFA and the coordinated campaign for field operations and GOTV if they're letting new media go; plus they'll be counting on their actually quite solid outreach effort with black churches to bring out the base.
Meanwhile, Meek has to deal with stuff like those annoying, blinking red lights:
TAMPA — It's approaching do-or-die time for Charlie Crist and Kendrick Meek.
To have any shot at prevailing in Florida's unprecedented three-way U.S. Senate race, Crist needs to marginalize Democratic nominee Meek, who in turn needs to knock down lingering perceptions that he can't win.
"The next 10 days are critical for Kendrick Meek because he really has to show Democrats in this state and in Washington in particular that he has a shot, that he's a viable candidate who can win," said Republican consultant John Wehrung. "There's a blinking red light in the corner of Kendrick Meek's eye warning him that Charlie Crist is stealing all his Democrats and he needs to find a way to get them back, like now."
It may be Florida's first statewide race featuring three serious contenders, but at this stage Republican nominee Marco Rubio, 39, can largely float above the fray while independent Crist, 54, and Democrat Meek, 44, vie to be the main alternative to Rubio. Crist is banking on winning strong support from Democratic voters, largely with a simple message: "I can win."
That implies, of course, that Meek can't.
Blinking, blinking …
At a gathering of Democratic activists in Palm Beach County last week, a heckler demanded that County Commissioner Burt Aaronson declare his support for Meek. He did, but said afterward that Meek has a lot to prove in the next few weeks before absentee ballots go out.
"I'm waiting to see what the polls are to see if Kendrick is viable in the Senate race," said Aaronson. "The one thing I don't want to do is take a chance. … It's not a matter of voting for Charlie Crist. It's a matter of voting against Marco Rubio."
Now, when I post stuff like that, people get pissed. Go figure…
BTW while we're on the Florida Senate race, Peter Schorsch's contrarian view of the Crist Elmo ad (featuring big, Sesame Street letters) and Meek's airboat/speedboat/lawn mower ad is not to be missed. Karl Malone? Priceless! And Peter also posts the full Marco Rubio letter on his father's death. Very moving.

Bert Jansch was a seminal British acoustic guitarist, from whom I learned much about playing.
He had an active solo and collaborative career, and was a founding member of Pentangle, a group that connected folk acoustic music to jazz.
Here he is playing what became his signature tune, even though it was written by another wonderful British guitarist Davey Graham.
Bert passed this week.
And the rock'n'roll generation loses another statesman.

Dallas Residents Weigh In On Fiscal Cliff Talks
By Wade Goodwyn
Originally published on Mon December 3, 2012 11:30 am
The battle over the looming spending cuts and tax increases known as the "fiscal cliff" begins this week where it ended last week — deadlocked. While there is no agreement on how lawmakers should work out the details of a compromise, there is widespread consensus that a deal must get done for the good of the country.

A streak of tremendous golf ended for Melvin Barnes on Tuesday.
But while his final stroke-play qualifying round at the 67th Herald-Sun Golf Classic didn't measure up to his torrid pace, it was still better than anyone else in the field.
The 46-year-old Barnes, of Hillsborough, fired a 2-over-par 73. Couple that, with the 5-under 66 he shot on Monday, and he had the top overall score at 139 when play was halted due to rain at Hillandale Golf Course.
Barnes' two-day total of 3-under 139 left him two shots better than Jeff Robinson, Fla., who finished at 1-under 141. Robinson, from Jacksonville, Fla., shot a 70 on Tuesday after firing a 71 on Monday.
Todd Eckstein finished third at even-par 142. Eckstein shot a 69 on Monday but, like Barnes, he wasn't as precise on Tuesday as he shot a 73.
Five groups of players were unable to finish their second round due to rain. They will begin play at 6:30 a.m. today to finish their rounds.
After that stroke play will be done and the golfers will be divided into flights for match play, which also begins today. Golfers in the top two flights, Championship and Presidents, will play this morning while the rest of the field takes a day off.
All flights will be contested beginning Thursday with the champions crowned on Sunday.
By claiming medalist honors in stroke play, Barnes earned the No. 2 overall seed in the Championship Flight. As defending champion, Durham's Ronnie Williams automatically earned the No. 1 seed according to tournament rules.
But it appears Barnes is in good position to make a run for the tournament championship in match play.
On Sunday, while playing at Durham's Treyburn Country Club, Barnes shot a 69 during a bogey-free round. He followed that up with his 66 on Monday at Hillandale.
"I came over here pretty confident," Barnes said. "I didn't miss but two greens. I put it in two-putt land and I birdied all the par 5s."
Barnes said he could have shot even lower on Monday, but he missed some putts.
On Tuesday, the same thing happened.
"If I make the putts today I shoot a 66 again," Barnes said. "But it seems I can't make the putts. I'm hitting it inside of 10 feet."
For example, he three-putted the 14th that had been a routine birdie hole for the field on Monday.
Barnes double-bogeyed hole No. 2 at Hillandale to get off to a rough start on Tuesday. He played even par the rest of the day, bogeying No. 10 before making it up with his lone birdie on No. 18.
"I hit green on 18 and finally made a two-putt," Barnes said.
The owner of Chief Roofing in Hillsborough, Barnes also plays on the Golf Channel Amateur Tour. He won a major tournament on that tour in January at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., in addition to winning six other tournaments in the Carolinas section.
He has qualified for the Golf Channel Am Tour's national championship tournament in Palm Springs, Calif., Sept 22-25.
"I've been hitting it well," Barnes said. "I just haven't been putting too well."
Eckstein entered Tuesday in second place, three shots behind Barnes, but wasn't able to close any ground.
"I would say I didn't putt very well today," Eckstein said. "I gave myself a lot of good looks at birdies. I hit a lot of greens in regulation, but I couldn't make a putt."
Tuesday's lowest round was carded by Jonathan Price. He shot 67, a good bit better than his 77 on Monday.
"I was making a lot of putts for birdies and pars and just doing a lot better at hitting the fairways and hitting the greens," Price said. "I've played this course so many times when I was younger."
Price recently graduated from Granville Central High School, and he's headed to Methodist University in Fayetteville, where he envisions himself playing golf for the school but is more certain about his course of study there in a program that would prepare him to become a head golf pro.
Price, thick and burly, said he gave up — to the chagrin of his coaches — the more dangerous sport of football in order to take on the challenges of golf.
"My dream was to be an NFL player, and then I just kind of went through a switch through high school to focus on golf," Price said.

I didn't intentionally choose today's Scourge theme. Really. These things just happen. That Dragon-specific one I did all that time ago? I didn't plan that, either. I'm just awesome enough that these things come together all by themselves. Yep. It's my pure, radiant awesome.
What? What do you mean current game content dictates what topics are hot or not? Pssh, that's crazy talk. That can't be it. It's all me, y'all.
Briz9 asked...
"Who built Icecrown Citadel and the accompanying structures? Did Arthas build it after he became the Lich King, or was it already there?"
The massive Saronite structures that make up Icecrown as it is today is all fairly new, from what I understand. Most Scourge architecture is based on Nerubian architecture (as you can see in Ahn'kahet) but the Saronite structures in and around Icecrown seem more styled after the Lich King himself. You certainly didn't see that stuff in Warcraft III either, but I suppose that's not always a good indicator.
Inevitably someone will ask how the Scourge built all of that in the less-than-a-decade between WCIII and Wrath of the Lich King, so I'll nip that one right away: Come on, it's Warcraft. Have you seen the Scourge? You know, the endless hordes of the damned, some of which wield horrific amounts of magic and they construct mile-high monstrosities of twisted flesh, bone and metal? Yeah, sure, it would take us boring real life humans a lot longer to encase an entire region of the world in metal, but the Scourge? Those bone giants in Icecrown are half the height of the gates. They could erect one of those things in a few days provided they have the materials.
Malix asked...
"What happened to the Qiraji after we invaded their place and took out their boss? I just don't see the Horde/Alliance completely erasing an entire species out of existence."
You might be surprised. The Qiraji didn't exactly have a vast empire anymore, they had nowhere to run, and our only experiences with them have been them and their God attempting to eradicate pretty much everyone. Every single living Qiraji was in Ahn'Qiraj. The way the Horde and Alliance tore up Silithus when the gates opened, they very well might have wiped out most of them, if not all of them.
That being said, I wouldn't be shocked if we met some survivors down the road. Ahn'Qiraj is one of the current locales being used extensively in the World of Warcraft comic, but the Twilight's Hammer has taken it over. They still can't decide whether C'Thun is dead or not, so maybe the Qiraji aren't dead either. Or maybe they are. Or maybe they're not. Or maybe they are! Freaking comic.
LeafHoof asked...
"Are all Nerubians bad? Clearly there is some sort of faction because of the quest givers for Azjol-Nerub and Old Kingdom. But will Blizzard ever explore the Nerubians more?"
If my memory serves me right (and there's a chance it doesn't), they initially planned to do way more with Azjol-Nerub. At least their initial description of what it would be differed from what is there in Wrath. The Nerubians do still have a non-Scourged faction, but they're few in number. According to the RPG book Lands of Mystery, the living Nerubians use a place called The Sundered Monolith as their holdout. It's stated in that book that only 400 living Nerubians remained at the Monolith.
It's questionable whether those Nerubians are civilized in the way we interpret that word or not. Sure, they're not the Scourge, but that doesn't mean they're gumdrops and rainbows. They could be vicious and brutal in a very different way. We don't know, because Azjol-Nerub's representation in Wrath of the Lich King is sadly skimmed over. It was one of the things I looked forward to seeing most in Wrath, ever since I wrote Know Your Lore: Azjol-Nerub. It's just not there, though. Who knows if we'll ever see more.
The following question contains spoilers for Arthas: Rise of the Lich King. If you plan on reading that, you're done. Column over. Move on with your life.
Wahsup asked...
"At the end of Rise of the Lich King, it's heavily implied that Arthas' mind is the ONLY mind that makes up the Lich King. This contradicts both the official Blizzard comment "Now Arthas and Ner'zhul's spirit are one and together they are the Lich King." and some in game text (the quest where The Lich King says something to the effect of "I used to be a shaman once."). Which is in the right here? Is the Lich King JUST Arthas now, or still Arthas/Ner'zhul?"
The Lich King is not one or the other. The Lich King is both, and he is neither. The scene at the end of Arthas shouldn't be interpreted literally. In the crowded mind that was the head of the Lich King, the Lich King entity (not Arthas!) killed off both Ner'zhul and Prince Arthas. It's symbolic of the loss of individuality, and that's what they've been trying to really drive home about the Lich King. The individual components, Ner'zhul and Arthas, don't even exist anymore. They've become one, and in the process of becoming one, both of them were lost. So saying, "They're both the Lich King" is pretty much the same as saying, "Neither of them are the Lich King."
To try and give an example, imagine that you're starting to bake a cake. You've laid out all of your ingredients. The eggs, the butter, the flour, the vanilla, all of that. You can point out each and every ingredient. You can point at an egg and tell everyone that it's an egg and they can clearly see that. You can do the same with all of the other ingredients. Once you've mixed them and baked them into a cake, can you do that anymore? Can you take a piece of that cake and point out where in the cake the flour is? Could you still hold up a piece of cake to someone and point out the egg? No, you can't. Sure, the things are there in the cake, but you can't find it anymore. You can't take take the cake apart and end up with a fully formed egg again, either. All of the ingredients have changed irreversibly. Those ingredients make up a whole, and in the process of making that whole you lost the ability to perceeve each item individually.

Good Deal4/1/2013
Nice graphics and easy to use.
Great picture11/20/2012
You could not tell this item had been a refurbished monitor. The picture is bright, clear and sharp. The only drawback is that the stand is stationary. That can be easily adjusted by shimming the front to your desired angle. Worth the money.
Good Product10/26/2012
When I ordered the product I didn't catch that they were "reconditioned." Normally don't order this way, but so far so good. Love the clarity of the display.
Fast shipping thanks
Great monitor for business or pleasure10/18/2012
Beautiful and sharp, the monitor's default setting for color is cool and easy on the eyes. I have played blu-ray movies and worked on documents and the monitor handles them both with ease. The monitor will tilt back and the controls on the front are touch sensitive areas instead of buttons, so the monitor has a very clean appearance. It is very light, but does not have a VESA mount, so you must use the factory stand.
Great product10/16/2012
Excellent shape. Only issue is that it tilts slightly forward. Not sure if it is supposed to be like that or if I assembled it incorrectly. Also, no assembly or use instructions.
Great value10/11/2012
Purchased this as a second monitor for video editing. Good quality product. Connected it with a DVI cable (not included) and had to find the manual online to find out how to change the setting from analog to digital. Once that was done, setting it as a dual monitor was easy. I also went online and downloaded the driver.
Great price, great product!3/26/2012
Initially I bought this monitor for use with my upgraded work computer. Almost immediately I decided I liked its aspect and color display so well I took it home and attached it to my home desktop. Now it's my choice for watching videos, downloaded TV shows and movies.
Great picture, great value3/1/2012
I was very happy to purchase this monitor, and, so far, it has been everything i hoped for! The set up was fairly easy (though the item did NOT come with directions), and I was able to connect to my laptop with a minimum of effort. The picture is bright and beautiful, and I love it so far.

Gianni Gebbia, Eiko Ishibashi & Daniele Camarda - Maboroshi (FMN, 2009) ****½
As a practicing Zen Buddhist, Gebbia has now the additional name of Jòraku.Very often religiously inspired music is among the most boring you can imagine, but this album has substance. Whether the hypnotic rhythmic playfulness of "One Clapping/Many Hands", or the joyous unison repetitive phrase of "Hermit", the meditative fragility of the title track, or the manic distress of "Kami Kakushi", every composition is captivating and creative. There is no fall-back to known concepts and fixed idioms, with instruments sounding slightly different than you would expect, with every piece sounding fresh and full of surprise and wonder. Ishibashi's singing is surely not in the jazz style, even singing an almost childish "hallelujah"on "Yodaka No Hoshi".
And despite its coherent innovative musical approach, the whole album is of a welcoming accessibility.
Gebbia can also be enjoyed in the following bands: Trionacra, Switters, Zen Window.

Morgen, to your point, I must admit that my perspective for saying this, is rather contemporary. True, I did not think of Bach and colleagues.

fishy smell
whenever there's Niwa Sushi around there's gotta be fishy smell. I don't know why, but i know that's why i never order their sushi but always go for their bento box. for price less than 10$ i have my carbohydrate, veggie and proteins. the chicken also taste nice and well cooked, the beef sometimes too sweet, so tempura is a better option. but since the seats is very limited i never enjoy my meal here, it feels like i have to hurry for another customer.

Chrysler to add 1,250 jobs at Detroit-area plantsBy DEE-ANN DURBIN
and TOM KRISHER
The Associated Press | November 16,2012AP PHOTO
Chrysler Group Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne speaks at a news conference at the Mack I Engine Plant in Detroit, Thursday. Chrysler plans to add 1,250 jobs at three Detroit-area factories in the near future.DETROIT Chrysler plans to add up to 1,250 jobs at three Detroit-area factories as it prepares for a rise in pickup sales.
The company said Thursday that it will invest $238 million at engine plants in Detroit and suburban Trenton, Mich., and add a third shift at a pickup truck factory in nearby Warren, Mich.
The hiring is another step in Chryslers comeback from its 2009 government-funded bankruptcy. The company, majority-owned by Italian carmaker Fiat SpA, now has about 62,200 employees worldwide, including more than 41,000 in the U.S. It is profitable again and has hired 12,000 workers since leaving bankruptcy protection in 2009.
The new hires would boost Chryslers total employment to 63,450.
About 1,000 of the jobs will be at the Warren plant. That factory produces a newly redesigned Ram pickup and will add the third shift in March.
Another 250 jobs could come to the Mack 1 Engine Plant in Detroit, which will be retooled to make V-6 engines instead of a large V-8 made there currently. Those jobs will be added subject to market conditions, Chrysler said in a statement.
The Trenton plant will get additional equipment so it can make a four-cylinder engine along with the V-6 that it currently produces for the Ram and other vehicles.
Chrysler said it has invested $4.75 billion in the U.S. since June of 2009.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable... Full StoryTalks for Pacific trade deal stall Full StoryWASHINGTON U.S. Full Story

It's the Top Chef Season 9 Finale Part 2, entitled "Fire And Ice," a devious move by Bravo to trick people into thinking Game Of Thrones is back on their viewing guide and accidentally recording it.
Obviously, there can only be one guest judge for the "Fire And Ice" challenge:
Just kidding! Prince Joffrey declined because he thought Sarah was acting too much like a spoiled child. The actual guest judge is this old flame:
I love that they're still chyron-ing Emeril really specifically, like we don't know who he is at this point in the season/life. "I don't know, I guess he wrote some book about pans? Doesn't sound very qualified."
The episode opens with a pallin' around driving segment where Paul explains that the three chefs are friends in real life but "you can't think like that in the competition." Really? You can't be like, "I would like to beat these relatively nice people at this cooking competition?" You have to hate and destroy them? EYE OF THE COOKING TIGER, MOFOS.
They arrive at a brasserie in Vancouver's Chinatown where they're met with three guest chefs for an Asian cooking challenge:
The chefs will randomly pair up with one of the three master guests: Lindsay pairs with Top Chef mainstay Anita Lo, Sarah pairs with Masters Season 3 winner Floyd Cardoz, and Paul matches up with Takashi Yagahashi, which may or may not be the name of a cool ninja character I created during recess when I was in 2nd grade.
The chefs will take turns switching off with their partners in 10-minute increments to prepare one "Asian-style" dish per team. To amp up the excitement, Padma adds that the winner will receive $20,000, and says it with very patronizing excitement:
The Masters kick things off by conceiving and preparing their dishes (seems like a pretty huge component of this challenge is going to the Masters, huh?), and after ten minutes, the cheftestants take over. Everyone's like "I hope they know what I was trying to do!" and the three remaining chefs are like "I hope I know what they were trying to do!" and it's just like when you're a real chef in a restaurant and you start cooking something then your wife goes into labor and you have to leave and can't explain anything and the other person takes over mid-dish.
Padma and Emeril watch the action from a small sliding window, because they couldn't get one of those creepy mansion paintings where the eyes move:
All the master chefs agree "They totally got what I was going for!", even though the guest chefs probably weren't gonna be like "WHAT THE F*CK WERE YOU DOING, partner of mine??" (unless Hubert Keller was here). It's time to announce the winner, and at least this lil' guy's still excited:
Sarah and Floyd win for their Seared Cod with Coconut Curry, Dungeness Crab Salad and Amaranth. Sarah wins $20,000, which is great because the show is clearly setting it up so it looks like Paul has competition and he can now win deservedly without it seeming as anticlimactic. If Paul had breezed through both challenges in this episode, I would've been worried that they'd pull some dumb shocker in the finale, but everything's right on track for the Paul win.
Paul did mess up in the Quickfire, though, by adding too much heat to his giant clam sashimi dish. It's probably a mistake when your dish is too spicy for this guy:
For the Elimination Challenge, the chefs will have to prepare a dish that symbolizes the concepts of "Fire And Ice," because of course that's the second to last challenge on this show about very skilled adults. "Here in Vancouver, some people have fireplaces, but also it snows outside…" Sure, fine, let's just move on so we can make it look like Paul might not win then have Paul win.
The chefs go off on their second-to-last shopping montage (awwwww, I'm gonna miss these! Our little redundant children are heading off to boring college…) A justifiably overconfident Paul even takes time to shop for edible glitter:
The chefs prepare their dishes and explain the arbitrary connections to the arbitrary theme, and it's exciting to the Sweet Genius guy if he's watching. Sarah is making a dish she's never made before, which is a classic TC red flag (or will it not be???) Lindsay is worried she didn't take the challenge theme literally enough so she throws together a "tomato ice" at the last minute which sounds like a gross non-thing but the judges don't hate it. Paul wants the broth of his dish to be poured tableside to create a "melting" effect, so he has lots of instructions for the team of server-magicians:
The chefs also prepare a cocktail to pair with each dish, which I always love, because hearing food people talk about drinks that pair well or poorly with particular dishes is the most arbitrary and pointless exercise in cuisine, and they always sound like they're unselfconsciously making stuff up. The drinks all look fine, even if their names are weird:
Hey, if this show can phone in its challenges, I can phone in my Photoshops. Deal?
So which chefs succeeded the best at putting fire and ice on their plates?? We are wide awake like Gail and Padma:
The judges enjoy all three dishes to an extent, but have specific problems with each one (this sentence is true of every Top Chef finale ever). Sarah's pasta-and-mousse gamble was a well-executed risk and the pasta was perfect, but the mousse was too frozen and difficult to cut through, which is the most common problem in the current worldwide hunger epidemic. Paul's dish actually lacked heat for Padma's taste (what is this, Goldilocks And The Three Paul Dishes' Heat Bears?) and Tom was really hilariously offended by A PIECE OF ARUGULA Paul added as an afterthought. Maybe Paul won't make the finale???
It's not entirely clear what Lindsay did wrong with her dish, but the flavors weren't as strong as the others' and her tomato ice was kind of an afterthought, and she might've tried to do too much, or whatever, someone's gotta go home and it won't be Paul. We'll find out after this ad for our favorite Socialist playland:
The Elimination music kicks up, and Padma makes the dramatic announcement…
OH SNAP! The first Ryan Seacrest psyche-out of the season!!! They even timed Padma's "Sarah…" to the exact spot in the music when she announces the eliminated chef. Bravo, editing (literally and figuratively!)
Now it's down to just Paul and Lindsay. WHO WILL MAKE IT TO THE Paul will obviously. Just say Lindsay lost. Padma tells Lindsay to pack her knives and go. Beverly cries:
So that's it! We're down to Paul vs. Sarah to see which Asian man from Texas will be named Top Chef. I CAN'T WAIT!!! Only four more episodes.
Top Chef Finale Part 2 Thoughts? Favorite / Least Favorite Parts? Dumb stuff we missed? Predictions for the Finale? Leave 'em all in the comments!

Duke, UNC to host Miami, FSU in key ACC series this weekend
Both North Carolina and Duke will welcome division leaders from Florida this weekend, with their ACC and NCAA Tournament futures possibly hinging on the results.
UNC will host Atlantic Division leader Florida State at Boshamer Stadium (today at 7 p.m., Saturday at 1 p.m., Sunday at 1 p.m.), while Duke will face Coastal Division leader Miami at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park (today at 6 p.m., Saturday at 1 p.m., Sunday at noon).
The Blue Devils (30-18, 15-9) are fourth in the ACC standings and the Tar Heels (29-19, 13-11 ACC) are fifth. Only the teams with the top six league records receive a bye into conference tournament pool play, while teams seeded 7-10 must compete in a play-in game. Duke visits FSU and UNC travels to Miami next weekend to conclude the regular season.
Beyond guaranteeing a longer stay in the ACC Tournament, wins against Florida State (37-11, 17-7) and Miami (35-14, 19-5) will help both local teams impress the NCAA selection committee. The Blue Devils are striving to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1961, while the Tar Heels haven't missed the event since 2001.
Duke coach Chris Pollard admits he looks at the bracket projections, which have the Blue Devils either in the field or on the verge of making it in. He and the team don't discuss the situation, though.
The good news, Pollard and the Blue Devils say, is they have a chance to take care of things themselves on the field over the next two weeks.
"Your RPI for all of us bubble teams ebbs and flows so much," Pollard said. "The thing that we have going for us is we've got six games left against top 10 RPI teams and three of those are on the road. It's squarely in our hands."
Pollard said he likes where the Blue Devils are mentally as they enter this important stretch leading into the ACC Tournament, even though the team is devoid of post-season experience.
"We just focus on the fun part of it," Pollard said. "Sometimes there's pressure in a program that goes every year because there's an expectation there. For these guys, they feel good about themselves and the way they've been playing. We try to focus on that. Enjoy the way you are playing. Enjoy the journey."
UNC coach Mike Fox said he also hasn't talked with his team about its ACC or NCAA Tournament chances, and he doesn't expect the players to feel any additional stress this weekend.
"I don't think these kids feel pressure, I really don't," Fox said. "I think they have high expectations, but the pressure, we (coaches) probably feel it more than the players do. We have so many young guys on the team, I don't think these freshmen quite know what's going on."
This will be UNC's first weekend series against Florida State since 2010. The teams played in Tallahassee in 2011, and then weren't scheduled to play ACC games in 2012 or 2013.
"I'll let you know after Sunday whether it's good to have them back on the schedule or not," Fox said. "I always enjoy playing them. Just an unbelievably consistent program and it will be a great challenge for us."
NOTE — Fox said that he expects leading hitter Michael Russell to be back on the field "at some point this weekend." The junior shortstop is batting .361 and is on a 19-game hitting streak, but he was suspended from Wednesday's win at Elon because of a violation of team rules.
