Microsoft presented the results for its second quarter of the 2010 fiscal year yesterday, which ended on December 29 2009. As it turns out, thanks to sales of Windows 7, Microsoft experienced a record quarter, which is especially welcome after the previous two lacklustre ones. It sold 60 million Windows 7 licenses during this record quarter.

RE[3]: In other words...
by telns on Fri 29th Jan 2010 23:05 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: In other words..."
There's no reason in the world why the most mass-produced piece of software on the entire planet should cost more than a processor or motherboard.
Hmm, what about the thousands of man years to write that code, and that once one has paid the $100 they will provide bug fixes and many new features for six to eight years at no additional cost?
"Mass-produc[tion]" in this instance is more or less asserting that the marginal cost is basically zero (which is true) but that for a rivalrous product such as a processor it is well above zero (also true).
However, these are fundamentally different products. In addition to R&D, each processor must be manufactured, and therefore there are real resources that it consumes which might have been put to some other use. Elements have to be mined (which could have made some other thing), factories have to be built (where the land and machinery could have been used for something else).
Another copy of software is just so many electrons flowing through wire that has already been laid. The entire cost is whatever it takes to get those electrons from point A to B, which isn't very high.
Taking that logic to the extreme--and there is some reason to do that, as prices do tend toward marginal costs with time--almost all modern services would collapse.
IE, the marginal cost to a cell phone provider of an additional wireless subscriber is nearly zero (as opposed to a regular telephone or cable, which have roughly static line costs). Same goes for satellite, all software, any online services, etc. All of these things, wireless, software, etc. have tremendous upfront development or infrastructure costs to create the product or service, followed by a marginal cost of almost zero on every consumer. That throws a wrench in traditional pricing mechanisms.
If customers insist that the price actually reaches the marginal cost, the services would all dry up, because they would have fundamentally no income.
So, yes, you hit on a tricky subject for pricing, but no, the price shouldn't fall just because it is so easy to mass-produce that it is essentially free to produce any number of copies.

Summit League Men: South Dakota Rallies, But Falls Late to North Dakota State
South Dakota knew when they welcomed North Dakota State to the DakotaDome Thursday night they were stepping on the floor with the top shooting team in the nation.
They saw the best of the Bison in the first half, but cam storming back when NDSU went cold in the second half, but the Coyotes couldn't get points when they needed them, falling at home for the first time in Summit League play. 66-63.
The Bison started like they always do, hitting 57 percent of their shots (8-of-14) to start the game, while the Coyotes were struggling at just 33 percent, falling behind by 7.
But USD found its stroke from behind the 3-point arc moments later, Casey Kasperbauer with a triple, followed two from Adam Thoesby, who was playing in front of his father, who make the trip in from Australia. The three point barrage cut the NDSU lead to 2 with 5:35 left.
But the Bison mounted a run, 11-2, toward the end of the half, pushing the lead back to 11, which was the edge at halftime, 44-33.
TrayVonn Wright with 12 first half points. The Coyotes did hold Summit League leading scorer Taylor Braun to just four free throws in the first 20 minutes.
Trevor Gruis led USD in the first half with 12 points.
In the second half, the Coyotes played with much more determination at both ends of the floor, heating it up on offense and getting stops on defense, a Trey Norris with a steal and a basket giving USD a 57-56 lead, moments later it was six straight from Brandon Bos and the Coyotes had a five point lead with about 4:00 to play.
But NDSU wasn't done, crafting a run to grab a one point lead with 9.5 seconds left when Gruis was fouled and had two free throws to give the Coyotes the lead, or at least tie the game. He missed both, Wright added a pair of free throws for the Bison, leaving USD with a 3-point chance to tie it, but Bos' shot was blocked out of bounds taking the Coyotes chances of winning with it.
USD (8-12/3-3) host South Dakota State Saturday afternoon..

BWW Interviews: Terrence Mann and Charlotte d'Amboise on PIPPIN, Paulus' Vision, and Working Together
We caught up with actors Terrence Mann and Charlotte d'Amboise in Cambridge, Massachusetts, at a Starbucks near American Repertory Theatre, where they are currently starring as Charles and Fastrada in the Diane Paulus-directed production of Roger O. Hirson's and Stephen Schwartz's Pippin. The couple, married in real life as well as in the show, is in Boston until the end of January, when the show prepares to transfer to Broadway. The conversation turned to the circus (a theme of Paulus' interpretation of the story), to historical and psychological perspectives on the show and its characters, and to their work with youth in the Triple Arts musical theatre intensive.
BWW: Welcome. You were up here during Hurricane Sandy, which treated Boston fairly well, but your home is in Manhattan. How did you make out with that?
CDA: Everything's fine. Our neighborhood was very lucky.
BWW: The children are with you - how are they enjoying Boston? For that matter, how are you enjoying it?
CDA: We're having a wonderful time. The girls have a nanny, but they're following our schedule... and going to bed at 2 a.m. And they have a friend from the show - Rachel's [Rachel Bay Jones'] daughter. I don't know what we're going to do with them when they have to go home and back to a regular routine.
BWW: Are they ready to run off and join the circus?
TM: (laughs) They are.
BWW: And you've had circus training yourself, haven't you?
TM: I had circus training at North Carolina School for the Arts, yes. I learned juggling, the unicycle, all of that sort of thing.
BWW: Speaking of unicycles, apparently there was an incident during rehearsals?
TM: On the first day of rehearsals, I was practicing on the unicycle and I fell off like I have a thousand times before, but this time I fell the wrong way and I tore my meniscus. I had to have surgery.
BWW: I have to apologize for asking... so, it's not just like riding a bike, then?
TM: (laughs) You would be very correct in that assessment - the only thing they have in common is a wheel.
BWW: The unicycle isn't the only circus routine you have in the show. Charlotte, I must ask if you really feel safe having him throw those knives at you.
CDA: Yeah, totally. He's actually really good at it.
TM: It's a trick, of course - but I actually can throw knives. And at one point in the show I was throwing four instead of two. We had to cut it to save ten seconds or so.
BWW: (to CDA) He throws knives? Really?
CDA: Really!
BWW: Charlotte, I'd like to ask you some questions about the dancing and choreography - and I regret that I don't know this... have you worked with Chet Walker before? I know you've both done SWEET CHARITY.
CDA: No, I hadn't worked with him previously. I did the Broadway SWEET CHARITY and I'm not sure which one Chet did. He's been around for years, of course, and I've met him, but I'd never worked with him before.
BWW: What's it like working with Chet?
CDA: He's wonderful. He knows his Fosse technique, and he can teach it fantastically. He's loving, he's supportive - he's great. He's made this show a very easy ride.
BWW: There was speculation when the creative staff was announced that there would be a recreation of Fosse's choreography, but obviously there's more than that at work here.
CDA: We realized pretty soon that wasn't going to happen. The circus choreography changes everything.
TM: The Manson Trio is reproduced. (CDA nods)
BWW: (to TM) You've directed many shows yourself, but you've never directed Pippin. You're acting in it, obviously... but as a director yourself, what is your take on this show?
TM: I've asked a lot of people about this show. Nobody quite seems to understand it. I couldn't tell you myself. We've done a lot of backstory on this. The original was pretty Woodstock. This version is a little different. I see it as our being the circus from Hell, traveling from town to town stealing souls, and then we meet this boy that says no.
BWW: That's interesting. The original was very Vietnam-era, very peaceniks versus Nixon.
TM: Exactly. And I think the circus helps here - I think it helps to clarify this story. The original is ambiguous, but the circus is black and white; with circus stunts, you either fail or you succeed. It clarifies the story.
BWW: The circus also seems historically appropriate as a device. Itinerant players at the times this play appears to be set would have been more physical, more comical - not so serious about a production. They weren't exactly traveling bands of great actors.
TM: I think that's probably accurate.
CDA: What I like about this version is that it can be anything you want it to be. Can the human race be extraordinary? What's that even mean? Do you shoot a lot of people? Do you step into a fire? Is it a suicide thing?
TM: It's a metaphor.
CDA: Or it's joining the circus. Nowadays, with suicide bombings and terror that weren't around before, it's all relevant again. Fosse's idea was Charlie Manson. There's always something.
TM: It's part of Fosse's darkness, the cynicism. It's not in the book.
BWW: The original book wasn't dark at all - Hirson wrote it in college, if I recall.
TM: Right. Precisely. How people view the show is based on what Fosse put into it.
BWW: (to TM) You've played Charles before. What are your thoughts on him?
TM: I've researched him. Charles was supposedly the savior of Christianity, but other writers say he was a tyrant - not much different from Attila the Hun. In Pippin he's kind of a wacky guy. "Eccentric" would be the mildest description. He's a despot, a dictator, a tyrant - but he really loves his son. That's his good point.
BWW: (to CDA) What is your take on Fastrada? And equally, what are your thoughts on the relationship between Fastrada and Lewis?
CDA: We're players, and I'm playing the part of Fastrada. She wants Lewis to be king - but as a player, she's trying to set Pippin up to step into the fire. She's manipulative; she wants her son to be king, and herself to rule, ultimately. She's very good at manipulating - people love her. I take the relationship between Fastrada and Lewis as her doing a job in the show. As a player playing Fastrada, I get Pippin to kill his father, and my job is done - then I'm a player working to serve the show. I see the Fastrada-Lewis dynamic as being sexual, but not completely incestuous. She's got him wrapped around her finger, but she doesn't love him - or anybody else. She's a survivor.
BWW: Interesting - so you don't see the Fastrada-Lewis relationship here as about the two of them, but about two players in the troupe working on Pippin's mind.
CDA: That's it, yes.
BWW: When you did A CHORUS LINE, you commented several places about leaving the show each night with ibuprofen and ice packs. What's the strain, comparatively, dancing as Fastrada?
CDA: This isn't like A CHORUS LINE - I get to warm up on stage before I do anything. In A CHORUS LINE I've been standing around for an hour before my dance. The dance in this is hard, it's tiring. But it's nothing compared to that.
BWW: The two of you don't often get a chance to appear together, let alone across from each other.
TM: We've done it four times in thirty-one years. CATS, Jerome Robbins' BROADWAY, THE GUYS, and Williamstown.
CDA: We did THE GUYS in Santa Fe?
TM: North Carolina.
CDA: It was Santa Fe.
TM: We did it in North Carolina.
CDA: Santa Fe.
TM: No. We did it both places - so that's five times, really.
CDA: It's rare to have a Broadway show that has parts for both of us.
TM: Let alone as husband and wife.
BWW: Some couples love working together; others don't seem to care one way or another. Barring any knife-throwing mishaps, where are you on the subject?
CDA: We love it - it's great.
TM: (to CDA) It's fun working with you.
CDA: It is? I'm good?
TM: You're good.
CDA: I am?
TM: Yes. Really.
BWW: The two of you are scheduled to be working with your Triple Arts musical theatre intensive in August at National Dance Institute. Are you taking time off from the show to do it?
TM: No - we'll be doing double duty.
CDA: It'll be tiring, but it's worth it.
BWW: It's so rewarding working with kids on things like this.
TM: Yes, and it's terribly important. It's not just about musical theatre. It's about learning life skills.
CDA: And it's about learning to be good at more than one thing in your life or in your work. And about how to sell yourself and your skills to other people.
TM: It's an intensive - it's hard work, not a summer vacation, but everyone comes away learning something from it, including the instructors.
CDA: We're supposed to have a session in North Carolina as well. That's going to be tricky - I doubt they'll let us both out of the show at the same time for that. We'll have to negotiate it with them.
BWW: Thanks so much for joining us to talk about the show.
TM: It's our pleasure.

|McCallum Foote could lead
Middlebury to new heights in his second season as starting
Middlebury athletics photo
There is one plaque hanging on my wall that is a little more special than any of the others. That is because it is specific to football. It is the Contributor to Amateur Football Award I received from the Vermont Chapter of the National Football Foundation.
Football is exciting and intriguing to me which puts me in a group of about 95 percent of the people across the Fruited Plain. But it is also very, very personal to me.
It was the source of comfort when I awoke from my colonoscopy exam back in 1997 and was told I had cancer: a malignant tumor the size of a golf ball. And that I would need a colostomy, radiation and chemotherapy.
After a terrifying few seconds, I thought of a St. Lawrence University lineman by the name of Kevin DeBonis. I called SLU sports information director Wally Johnson to inquire about DeBonis's performance for a column I was writing. I was told he was ill and was not playing at the time. No big deal, I thought. Probably mono.
Then I found out this large lineman had lost an alarming amount of weight. Then I discovered he had ulcerative colitis and would need a colostomy.
He had his surgery, went into the weight room and resculpted his body into one that would eventually earn him the Lineman of the Year honor for the Saints.
Heck, he could play football with a protective pad and star in the trenches. I surely could write about it.
Soon after returning home I received a letter from Kevin DeBonis encouraging me in my own comeback, one that paled in comparison to his.
DeBonis's story was an inspiration to me when I needed it the most. But Division III football has equally inspirational stories running all through its 239 teams. There are wonderful stories like his in every conference, every team and, if we look hard enough, every player.
I will read all seven columns every week. That is because there is nothing quite like football and football at the D3 level is the very best football of all. Bring it on.
Here are 10 games to watch, but it would be an easier task if we were choosing 20 or 30. There are so many contests that jump out at you, but you can't go wrong with:
1. Sept.1, Endicott at Framingham State. These are two teams that have as realistic hopes as anyone for playing in the postseason. A very close game could be in the offing and if that is the case wouldn't you love to have the weapon Endicott has. Dylan Rushe nailed 17 field goals last year, including a 55-yarder.
2. Sept. 1, Western New England at Norwich. Speaking of the postseason, these are two teams that made their first NCAA playoff appearance last year. This will be the fourth consecutive meeting between the Golden Bears and Norwich, but that will be halted in 2013 when Norwich's three nonconference games are all against Liberty League opponents.
3. Sept, 22, Bowdoin at Middlebury. The New England Small College Athletic Conference teams finally begin playing and this one intrigues me. You always wonder if someone can step up and challenge the perennial heavyweights like Amherst, Williams and Trinity. Middlebury is a logical choice with its strong-armed quarterback McCallum Foote and with all-first team D3football preseason pick Billy Chapman as one of his receivers. But I also think Bowdoin is a sleeper.
4. Sept. 29, Trinity at Williams. The heavyweights slug it out.
5. Sept. 29, Curry at Endicott. Curry hasn't been Curry for the last two years. They have only been a good football team. Are they ready to come back? I would not be surprised and this is a game that can provide the answer.
6. Oct. 6, Castleton State at Norwich. This might be for more than the Maple Sap Bucket, as if that isn't enough. Norwich has the lavish preseason billing that says they will repeat as the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference champions. Castleton has Shane Brozowski, a rifle-armed quarterback -- sorry Ron Jaworski already claims the Polish Rifle -- who tests the best defenses.
7. Oct. 27, Western New England at Endicott. It is safe to say there will be plenty riding on this game for one of the teams. It is nearly as safe a bet to say the stakes will be high for both.
8. Nov. 3, SUNY-Maritime at Norwich. The Cadets and Maritime are picked to finish 1-2 in the ECFC and they have been the teams at the top the last couple of years. This very well could be the one that settles the issue again.
9. Nov. 3. Amherst at Trinity. The Bantams don't lose in Hartford, but if anyone is going to pin a home loss on them it could well be Amherst. And history tells us this has a good chance of having NESCAC championship implications.
10. Nov. 10, Williams at Amherst. The Biggest Little Game in America. That says it all. If you're from New England you know all about its trappings. Live on NESN. Ten thousand fans in attendance. Rituals and traditions to warm the November chill. If you're from the midwest, think St. John's vs. St. Thomas, or Wabash vs. DePauw.
Ten games to watch and no Chowder Bowl or Cranberry Bowl? It's a feast with way too much to eat. Enjoy!

stri8ed needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 20 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Woodland Dental Spa
For this design, I am going after a warm inviting, yet modern/sharp look. I need the design to be able to be applied to all types of medical practices not just dental, As I plan On using it for more than one site. So please Don't be too specific on the images, just keep it health related, So I can tweak it later as needed.
I know this has been said a million times. But truthfully, if all goes well I have many more similar projects coming up. And I would love to work with some great designers time and time again.
The target is the average medical patient. Slightly nervous looking for a warm open medical practice.
I am looking for a warm and comfortable ,yet sharp and tight well held together look.
I do not have a logo for the website. So please include a simple text based logo that matches the overall look. The reason I did not include one is because I want the logo to be just another element of the site.
Here are some sites that nailed the look I am going for.
As you can see, It is a warm inviting look, but modern and crisp at the same time.
Function wise, all I'm requiring Is a sidebar contact form. Aside from that the ball is in your court. I appreciate creativity. Just keep a overall health look to the design.
If you need sample content, feel free to take from the above sites.
Any questions you have, I am here to help anytime. Expect almost immediate feedback on your submissions.
And remember, be awesome!
Thank You

So Australia lead the 3-match series 1-0 with one game to go. Join us back on Friday for the decider. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Hodge: "The old guys did alright tonight I guess. Hoggy bowled well and I was able to pull it off with the bat in the end. South Africa had the momentum when they got Warner, he was going great guns. I am very grateful to have travelled all around the world to play for different T20 sides. Unfortunately, Test cricket didn't work out for me but looks like T20 fits me perfectly."
Hodge is the Man of the Match.
Bailey: "Very happy, few positives for us. Obviously, Hodgy and Warner were on top of their game tonight. I thought the guys were switched on for a shortened game which was good to see. Looking forward to the final game."
Faf: "A 7-over game is really hectic. You just try to brute every ball and then in the field you hope for some luck. In a game like this, the start is always important. I thought the boys pulled it back nicely after a costly first over. Quinton was impressive tonight, incredible striking. We can't look too much into the weather."
South Africa regained control after a poor first over from Tsotsobe with the wicket of Finch in the second over. Watson didn't last long either but Warner batted very well to smash the bowlers all over the park. A double-strike from Duminy brought South Africa back in the game again. With 28 needed off the last 2 overs, Hodge held his nerve and hit some lusty blows in the final over to take Australia home with 2 balls to spare.6.5
Parnell to Hodge, wide, Australia seal the game. Short delivery down the leg side, Hodge misses the pull but anyway the umpire's hands were outstretched. Phew! What a game of cricket!6.4
Parnell to Hodge, SIX, that should be the game. Low full toss on the leg stump, Hodge smashes it flat over the deep mid-wicket fence. What batting this from Hodge, under extreme pressure. Scores level6.3
Parnell to Hodge, SIX, stunning hit from the veteran! 146 kph full delivery, almost a yorker, somehow Hodge manages to muscle it way over the deep mid-wicket fence. Australia aren't out of it yet!6.2
Parnell to Haddin, leg byes, 1 run, goes across the sticks and tries to play it to square leg but misses. Parnell appeals for LBW but the impact was outside off6.1
Parnell to Hodge, 1 run, full delivery on the leg stump, Hodge doesn't manage to loft it high enough, the ball goes on the bounce to long-on
Wayne Parnell [1.0-0-3-1] is back into the attack
15 runs to get! Who'll hold the nerve?5.6
Beuran Hendricks to Hodge, 1 run, full on the pads, Hodge flicks it to deep square leg. What a comeback from Hendricks after conceding a boundary early on5.5
Beuran Hendricks to Haddin, 1 run, low full toss on the leg stump, Haddin drives it to long-on. This time they don't chance Miller's arm5.4
Beuran Hendricks to Haddin, 2 runs, full delivery outside off stump, Haddin lofts it inside out to deep extra-cover, three fielders converge to keep it down to two5.3
Beuran Hendricks to Hodge, 1 run, a perfect yorker from Hendricks, Hodge could only to dig it out to mid-on5.2
Beuran Hendricks to Haddin, 1 run, full delivery outside off stump, Haddin drives it to cover
Brad Haddin, right handed bat, comes to the crease5.1
Beuran Hendricks to Hodge, out Bailey Run Out!! 1 run completed. There was never a second run in it and Australia are in all sorts of trouble. Full delivery on the leg stump, Hodge drives it wide of long-on, Bailey charges for the second that wasn't there, sent back and Miller's throw was spot on from the deep and de Kock breaks the stumps in a flash. Bailey run out (D Miller/de Kock) 2(2)
Beuran Hendricks to Hodge, THATS OUT!! Run Out!!5.1
Beuran Hendricks to Hodge, wide, this one is way outside off stump and the umpire doesn't like the width on that5.1
Beuran Hendricks to Hodge, no ball, FOUR, oh he's missed his radar. High full toss above waist height outside off stump, Hodge doesn't try to do anything fancy, just cuts it powerfully over backward point. Good start to the over for Australia
Beuran Hendricks [1.0-0-18-0] is back into the attack4.6
Duminy to Hodge, 1 run, flatter delivery outside off stump, Hodge guides it to short third man and gets off the mark. 5 runs and 2 wickets in the over
Brad Hodge, right handed bat, comes to the crease4.5
Duminy to Maxwell, out Caught by du Plessis!! Carved but straight to the man! Full outside off stump, Maxwell swings too hard at that and doesn't get the elevation, the South African skipper takes a fine catch to his right at cover-point. Two wickets in the over! What a turnaround. Maxwell c du Plessis b Duminy 1(3)
Duminy to Maxwell, THATS OUT!! Caught!!4.4
Duminy to Bailey, 1 run, advances again but Duminy fires it wide outside off stump, Bailey could only drill it to long-off4.3
Duminy to Maxwell, 1 run, short again, Maxwell pulls it on the bounce to deep mid-wicket4.3
Duminy to Maxwell, wide, shortish and outside off stump, too wide reckons the umpire4.2
Duminy to Bailey, 1 run, advances and flicks the flighted delivery to mid-wicket, looks for the second but the fielder was quick to get to the ball
George Bailey, right handed bat, comes to the crease4.1
Duminy to Warner, out Lbw!! What a strike! JP Duminy you beauty! Again the Harbhajan like action works for him. Fires this full, Warner goes for the switch hit but was beaten by the pace, he misses and is struck plumb in front the sticks. Massive wicket for the Proteas! Game on now. Warner lbw b Duminy 40(16) [4s-5 6s-2]
Duminy to Warner, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!
Jean-Paul Duminy, right-arm off break, comes into the attack3.6

Parnell to Warner, no run, full and wide outside off stump, 147 kph, Warner slashes and misses3.4
Parnell to Maxwell, leg byes, 1 run, short of length delivery on the off stump, Maxwell misses the pull, the ball rolls to point
Glenn Maxwell, right handed bat, comes to the crease3.3
Parnell to Watson, out Caught by Kyle Abbott!! Full toss outside off stump, Watson smashes it straight into the hands of cover. A soft dismissal that in the context of the game. Normally, Watson would have backed himself to send that out of the ground. Watson c Kyle Abbott b Parnell 2(3)
Parnell to Watson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
Watson's OUT!3.2
Parnell to Warner, 1 run, low full toss outside off stump, Warner smashes it to deep mid-wicket, only a single3.1
Parnell to Watson, 1 run, full outside off stump, Watson squeezes it to third man
Wayne Parnell, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack2.6
Beuran Hendricks to Warner, 2 runs, 'out, out, noooo' says the commentator on air! Fantastic effort from Parnell at sweeper cover. Full delivery outside off stump, Warner carves it powerfully, the fielder runs to his left and catches the ball, as he was too close to the rope he releases the ball and while trying to grab it after recovering his ground, he spills it2.5
Beuran Hendricks to Warner, FOUR, how do you stop this man? Slower delivery on the stumps, just a fraction too short. Warner helps it past short fine leg and Abbot gives up the chase2.4
Beuran Hendricks to Warner, FOUR, it's all working for the pocket rocket! Full and wide outside off stump, Warner loses the bottom hand grip as he tries to smash this one, an outside edge results and it goes very fine to beat third man2.3
Beuran Hendricks to Warner, SIX, oh close your eyes Hendricks, close your eyes! Short of a length delivery on the stumps, the margin for error against this man is so little, Warner stands tall and bludgeons it flat over the deep mid-wicket fence. That's gone into the gutters!2.2
Beuran Hendricks to Watson, 1 run, meanwhile a gentle nudge towards slip gets Watson off the mark2.1
Beuran Hendricks to Warner, 1 run, low full toss outside off stump, Warner jams it to sweeper cover
Beuran Hendricks, left-arm fast medium, comes into the attack1.6
Kyle Abbott to Warner, 1 run, fantastic ball. Full delivery following Warner as he makes room, attempts the flick and only manages to edge it onto pad, Watson calls for a quick single and makes his ground. Great over from Abbott, South Africa needed it after a poor opening over from Tsotsobe1.5
Kyle Abbott to Warner, no run, Warner wanted to put that into the sea. Short of a length delivery, nipping away, Warner swings hard and across the line but doesn't make contact1.4
Kyle Abbott to Warner, FOUR, full and angling away from the left hander, Warner opens himself up and slaps it wide of mid-off and it races away
Shane Watson, right handed bat, comes to the crease1.3
Kyle Abbott to Finch, out Caught by Amla!! Good bowling from Abbott and South Africa get their first wicket. A massive one indeed. Good length delivery on the leg stump, Finch tries to play the pick-up shot, but mistimes it completely, mid-wicket takes a few steps back and takes a fine catch. Finch c Amla b Kyle Abbott 5(5) [4s-1]
Kyle Abbott to Finch, THATS OUT!! Caught!!1.2
Kyle Abbott to Finch, no run, Finch backs away, Abbott follows him nicely, no room to work with, Finch tries to flick it away but is hit on the pad again1.1
Kyle Abbott to Finch, no run, hurries Finch with an inswinging short of length delivery, the batsman is hit on the pad
Kyle Abbott, right-arm medium, comes into the attack0.6
Tsotsobe to Warner, FOUR, makes room, Tsotsobe follows him with a full delivery, Warner lofts it high over extra-cover, the ball teases the fielder and just wins the race. 21 off the first over, chasing over 10 an over, just what your captain wanted0.5
Tsotsobe to Warner, SIX, well, Australia are off to a flier. At this rate, they could well finish this off with an over to spare. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Warner was cramped for room but he employs the short-arm-jab-pull and it clears the deep square leg fence easily0.4
Tsotsobe to Warner, 2 runs, slower delivery on the stumps, Warner flicks it over the infield between deep mid-wicket and long-on. The ball plugs to keep them down to two0.3
Tsotsobe to Warner, FOUR, can't stray down the leg side with short fine leg in place. Warner simply waits for the ball and helps it on its way over the infield and Warner gets his first boundary0.2
Tsotsobe to Finch, 1 run, in the air but it doesn't carry to deep mid-wicket. Finch doesn't time the pull all that well, luckily, it drops short0.1
Tsotsobe to Finch, FOUR, message loud and clear. See the ball, hit the ball. Full and gentle outside off stump, Finch smashes it hard along the ground to the right of mid-off. The fielder hardly moved on that occasion. Australia off the mark in style
Finch and Warner are at the crease. Finch is on strike. Tsotsobe will open the attack
Fasten your seat belts. Warner, Finch out there with their willows.
Great start for Australia with the ball. South Africa were not many for the loss of Hashim Amla but young Quinton de Kock batted exceptionally well alongside skipper Faf du Plessis to give the hosts a fighting total. Shane Watson's 14-run over kicked things off for the Proteas who managed to find the fence at will since then. This is certainly not out of Australia's reach. Aaron Finch and David Warner walking out to bat, you would argue that you will chase down any target. Don't go too far away, a cracking 7 overs on the way.6.6
Starc to de Kock, byes, 1 run, he'll feel he's missed out on a boundary ball. Full and in the slot, probably extra pace from the bowler and the ball beat de Kock's wild swing. Anyway, du Plessis steals a bye to take the hosts to 806.6
Starc to de Kock, 5 wides, pressure, pressure telling on Starc. Fires the inswinging yorker down the leg side, Haddin's full length dive wasn't good enough to stop the ball
Change of ball meanwhile.6.5
Starc to de Kock, SIX, I tell you what! He was off balance while he met the ball, yet, he's managed to time that well enough to clear the fence. Slower ball bouncer, de Kock was walking forward. The height was awkward for him as it was rising high but that doesn't stop him from playing the pull, the ball just escapes the man at deep square leg6.4
Starc to de Kock, SIX, oh he connects one again. Full delivery on the off stump, de Kock lofts it straight down the ground, the ball clears the fence. Just what South Africa wanted to close the innings on a high6.3
Starc to du Plessis, 1 run, angles the good length delivery back into the right-hander, du Plessis tries to flick but gets an inside edge onto pad. de Kock calls for a run and makes his ground6.2
Starc to de Kock, byes, 1 run, oh that's a cracking ball. Perfect inswinging yorker, also following de Kock as he made room, the batsman takes his foot out of the way, du Plessis charges to the striker's end to steal a bye and succeeds6.1
Starc to du Plessis, 1 run, round the wicket, low full outside off stump, du Plessis made too much room that he could only edge it to third man
Mitchell Starc [1.0-0-5-0] is back into the attack
Okay, last over now. South Africa will be looking for at least 15.5.6
Coulter-Nile to de Kock, SIX, Coulter-Nile misses the yorker and it goes on the full, de Kock waits and absolutely belts it way over the long-on fence. Gee! That was some hit by the youngster. 50 of the partnership comes up as well5.5
Coulter-Nile to du Plessis, 1 run, full and outside off stump, driven to cover5.4
Coulter-Nile to du Plessis, FOUR, that'll do! Doesn't matter if it comes off the edge or off the middle of the bat. Full and on the stumps, du Plessis swings hard and gets an inside edge that goes very fine to fine leg5.3
Coulter-Nile to de Kock, 1 run, full and wide outside off stump, de Kock drills it straight to sweeper cover5.2
Coulter-Nile to de Kock, no run, fantastic slower ball from Coulter-Nile, de Kock had no clue of it's arrival, he was lucky that it was not in line with the stumps5.1
Coulter-Nile to de Kock, FOUR, friendly full toss and de Kock takes the gift from the bowler. Round the wicket allows the batsman to swing it over mid-wicket and beats the man in the deep
Nathan Coulter-Nile [1.0-0-1-1] is back into the attack4.6
Christian to du Plessis, 2 runs, full and wide outside off stump, du Plessis crashes the drive to deep extra-cover, but the man in the deep keeps it down to two. 16 came off that over, handy one for the hosts
Bailey and Christian have a conference now.4.5
Christian to du Plessis, SIX, oh that's a stunning hit. Can't bowl length at this stage and certainly not to this man. du Plessis waits for the ball smashes this across the line, the ball goes high into the night sky over deep mid-wicket4.4
Christian to du Plessis, SIX, why do you need those fancy shots when you can time a cricket ball like that? Full delivery outside off stump, du Plessis dances down the track and absolutely smashes it way over the long-off fence4.3
Christian to du Plessis, no run, this time gets across the stumps and tries to glance it away but doesn't make contact4.2
Christian to du Plessis, FOUR, shortish as the batsman advances, du Plessis smashes it straight down the ground and beats long-on. Top quality shot that!4.1
Christian to du Plessis, no run, makes room and tries to work it away very fine towards third man but this short of length delivery zooms past the outside edge
Daniel Christian, right-arm medium, comes into the attack3.6
Watson to de Kock, 2 runs, friendly full toss outside off stump, de Kock slices it over cover and the fielder in the deep runs to his left to tidy up as it plugs in the outfield3.5
Watson to de Kock, no run, low full toss wide outside off stump, de Kock squeezes it straight to backward point and they don't want to chance Warner's arm3.4
Watson to du Plessis, 1 run, in the air but just short of backward point. Good length delivery outside off stump, du Plessis cuts it straight to the man3.3
Watson to de Kock, 1 run, smashed again but there is protection in the deep and only a single to long-off3.2
Watson to de Kock, SIX, even better. Watson misses his length again. Overpitched and right in the slot, de Kock lofts it handsomely over the bowler's head and it sails over long-off3.1
Watson to de Kock, FOUR, ah! Finally a cracking shot to the fence. Juicy full delivery outside off stump, de Kock smashes it over mid-off's head and it rockets to the boundary
Shane Watson, right-arm fast medium, comes into the attack2.6
B Hogg to de Kock, 1 run, Hogg cramps de Kock for room with a quicker delivery as he shuffles in the crease, eventually only a single possible as he turns it to mid-wicket2.5
B Hogg to de Kock, no run, given a bit more air, de Kock tries to muscle it out of the ground, but he swings too hard and misses2.4
B Hogg to du Plessis, 1 run, the googly this time, du Plessis turns it to mid-wicket2.3
B Hogg to de Kock, 1 run, shimmies down the track and smashes the flighted delivery on the bounce to long-on2.2
B Hogg to de Kock, 2 runs, pulled away to deep mid-wicket, they are quickly back for the second. de Kock lost his bat while running the second2.1
B Hogg to de Kock, no run, shortish and turning away, cut straight to the fielder
Brad Hogg, left-arm chinaman, comes into the attack1.6
Coulter-Nile to du Plessis, no run, huge shout for caught behind, nothing from the bowler though. Umpire's unmoved! Short of a length delivery outside off stump, du Plessis pokes at it and misses. Haddin and the slips went up immediately, but didn't get any support from Coulter-Nile. What a start this for Australia. Oh well, there was an edge there
Faf du Plessis, right handed bat, comes to the crease1.5
Coulter-Nile to Amla, out Caught&Bowled!! Not so sure if South Africa will mind this wicket! Amla wasn't able to place the ball into the gap and eventually he has perished now. Fullish delivery on the off stump, Amla was late on the drive, ends up hitting it straight back towards the bowler, who grabs it very well in his follow-through. Amla c and b Coulter-Nile 4(9) [4s-1]
Coulter-Nile to Amla, THATS OUT!! Caught&Bowled!!1.4
Coulter-Nile to Amla, no run, another play and a miss. Short of a length delivery outside off stump, Amla gets leg side of the ball slightly and tries to muscle it over cover but only manages to connect thin air1.3
Coulter-Nile to Amla, no run, on a length and just outside off stump, bit of extra bounce beats Amla's back foot drive1.2
Coulter-Nile to de Kock, 1 run, shortish and on the leg stump, helped away to backward square leg1.1
Coulter-Nile to de Kock, no run, overpitched and driven nicely but the bowler quickly gets down in his follow-through to stop a certain boundary. That was hit hard but Coulter-Nile did exceedingly well to stop the ball
Nathan Coulter-Nile, right-arm fast, comes into the attack0.6
Starc to Amla, no run, again, tries to negate the swing and whip it away, but misses. The ball brushes the pad on its way to Haddin. Half-shout from the keeper and the bowler0.5
Starc to Amla, no run, goes across the stumps and send it over the man at short fine leg, but doesn't make contact. The short of a length, goes off the pad again0.4
Starc to Amla, no run, hurries Amla this time. Short of a length swinging back in, another edge onto pad0.4
Starc to Amla, wide, way outside off stump, easy call for the umpire0.3
Starc to Amla, FOUR, misfield at cover-point. Nice and full outside off stump, not much of swing on this one, Amla frees his arms and drives off the front foot, Maxwell fumbles to give South Africa their first runs on the board0.2
Starc to Amla, no run, fullish and just outside off stump, pushed to mid-off0.1
Starc to Amla, no run, big swing for Starc straightaway. Good length delivery shaping back in nicely, Amla looks to play it across but gets an inside edge onto pad
Amla and de Kock are at the crease. Amla is on strike. Starc will open the attack
So then, let's gear-up for some riveting action. Game about to begin in a minute.
Australia (Playing XI): David Warner, Aaron Finch, Shane Watson, Glenn Maxwell, George Bailey(c), Brad Hodge, Brad Haddin(w), Daniel Christian, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Brad Hogg
South Africa (Playing XI): Quinton de Kock(w), Hashim Amla, Faf du Plessis(c), Jean-Paul Duminy, Farhaan Behardien, David Miller, Albie Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Beuran Hendricks, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Kyle Abbott
du Plessis: "To be honest, I was indecisive as well. The final call about the safety of the players lays with the umpires, it looks okay. Fantastic crowd, they have stayed here and hopefully it's a good game for us. These short games are tricky and it's important for us ahead of the World Cup. Beuran Hendricks is making his debut."
Bailey: "We are going to bowl. It'll be interesting to see how it pans out. We are not sure how it's going to play and that's why we are bowling. Starc and Finch, hopefully they can shine for us."
Australia have won the toss and have opted to field
20:15 Local Time, 18:15 GMT: The umpires are having an inspection now. They are having a close look at the huge saw-dust covered areas. 'The outfield is not fully dry but it's not too bad either reckons,' Mike Haysman on air. Okay official word in, 20:30 start, 7 overs per side.
20:10 Local Time, 18:10 GMT: The stumps are in place now but there is no word on the inspection yet. Remember, the cut-off time is 20:40.
19:55 Local Time, 17:55 GMT: Meanwhile, the players are doing their warm-ups. Looks like we've got a game.
19:50 Local Time, 17:50 GMT: The groundstaff are working on the outfield now. The wet areas get some saw dust.
19:35 Local Time, 17:35 GMT: Okay, fingers crossed! Rain has stopped and the covers are being removed.
19:10 Local Time, 17:10 GMT: The rain isn't that heavy at the moment but good enough to keep the covers on. The cut-off time for a 5-over game is 20:40 Local Time.
18:57 Local Time, 16:57 GMT: The rain is playing see-saw at the moment. Just when the covers were about to come off, the rain returned.
18:45 Local Time, 16:45 GMT: Absolutely no updates on the current situation at the ground. We have started losing overs by the way.
18:18 Local Time, 16:18 GMT: Cricket Australia have just tweeted that the rain has gotten heavier and the groundsmen are rushing out with the bigger covers. So the delay continues...
17:52 Local Time, 15:52 GMT: Oopsy! The rain is back now and out come the covers again.
17:50 Local Time, 15:50 GMT: Things are getting better. The covers have come off now and the umpires will take a look at the pitch in 10 minutes.
17:40 Local Time, 15:40 GMT: Meanwhile, the latest news is that the umpires will conduct an inspection at 18:00 Local Time.
17:30 Local Time, 15:30 GMT: The covers are still on and that means the toss will be delayed. We could still get a full 20-over game if we start at 18:30 Local Time, but with the amount of water on the covers, looks like it's very difficult to get the game underway by then. But first up, the rain has to ease out.
The entire square has been covered and the Australian dressing room is looking very dull with players looking at the sky. There is a lot of water on the covers and the groundstaff are going to have a tough day at the office today.
Not great news folks! There is rain forecast throughout the duration of the game in Durban. Just what cricket fans didn't want as we are building up to the World T20 later this week. Hello and a warm welcome to the second T20I. Both South Africa and Australia would have loved to get some all important match practice ahead of the mega event but the weather is playing spoilsport. The fact that the first of the three T20I games was washed out without a ball being bowled makes things worse for the team managements. But anyway, we'll keep our fingers crossed and hope for some better pictures on the radar.
After the exciting Test series, it was a dampener at Port Elizabeth as the first T20I was a complete wash-out. The World T20 is just a few days away, and both Australia and South Africa would have ideally loved to go into the tournament on the back of some quality match-practise. The series now moves across to Durban, and unfortunately it looks like the rain has followed them here as well. The forecast is for more showers as the day progresses, something that will not please the two outfits.
Despite all the rain, Australia have retained plenty of optimism over their chances in the upcoming World T20 tournament. They came into this series on the back of a 3-0 whitewash against England. Aaron Finch and Cameron White were in excellent form against England and it will be interesting to see who drops down the order to accommodate the returning David Warner.
Skipper George Bailey has led from the front and the presence of power-hitters like Shane Watson and Glenn Maxwell makes this Australian batting outfit truly spectacular.
The return of James Faulkner provides versatility to the Australian bowling line-up. With Mitchell Starc in great touch, the pace department looks well stocked, even in the absence of Mitchell Johnson. Veteran spinner, Brad Hogg is out with an injury but that will mean another opportunity to the impressive leg-spinner, James Muirhead.
South Africa:
After swallowing the bitter pill in the Tests, the T20s provided the ideal stage for the hosts to make a comeback. With rain playing spoilsport, some of the carefully laid plans has been busted. The batting looks in good shape with skipper, Faf du Plessis, Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers, all showing form during the Tests. Quinton de Kock has established himself in the shorter formats of the game while David Miller and Albie Morkel add strength to the lower middle order.
South Africa's bowling looms good even in the absence of Dale Steyn. Morne Morkel is the leader of the pack that includes the tried and tested Lonwabo Tostsobe, Wayne Parnell and the talented Beuran Hendricks. Imran Tahir and Aaron Phangiso, the two spinners will be expected to keep a tight leash on things.
Weather Conditions:
All plans and preparations might eventually come to nought as heavy showers has been predicted.
This is the best squad we've ever assembled in Twenty20 cricket: Shane Watson is confident about the chances of Australia in the upcoming T20 WC.
Imi is very important to me. He's as big a strike bowler as Dale Steyn is to our team: Faf du Plessis is banking on Imran Tahir to do a good job.
South Africa (From): Imran Tahir, Kyle Abbott, Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers, Jean-Paul Duminy, Faf du Plessis(c), Farhaan Behardien, Beuran Hendricks, Morne Morkel, David Miller, Wayne Parnell, Aaron Phangiso, Quinton de Kock(w), Albie Morkel, Lonwabo Tsotsobe
Australia (From): George Bailey(c), Brad Haddin(w), Nathan Coulter-Nile, James Faulkner, Aaron Finch, Brad Hogg, James Muirhead, Cameron White, Mitchell Starc, David Warner, Shane Watson, Moises Henriques, Glenn Maxwell, Brad Hodge, Daniel Christian

Iowa's Steve King rules out GOP bid for Senate in 2014
DES MOINES, Iowa – Iowa Rep. Steve King said Friday he will not run for the U.S. Senate, opening the race to succeed Democrat Tom Harkin to lesser-known Republicans.
King, a conservative firebrand from the state's GOP-heavy west had long eyed a challenge of Harkin, who was elected to the Senate in 1984 but has decided not to seek a sixth term. But King, a six-term U.S. House member, said in a press statement Friday: "I will not be a candidate for the United States Senate in 2014."
King said he had more pressing battles to fight in the House and that a long Senate battle would be a distraction. He also reported raising $93,000 in the first quarter of 2013, a fraction of what would be required to wage a competitive Senate race that's expected to run into the tens of millions of dollars.
"It is my intention to turn my efforts and energy with great vigor to the issues at hand," King said in his statement.
U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley is the only Democrat to announce he's running. The four-term Waterloo House member reported raising more than $1 million since declaring his candidacy in February.
Harkin's announcement in late January that he would not run next year was seen as an unexpected opening for Republicans for a seat that has eluded them despite competitive challenges over the decades. The GOP needs to pick up six seats to gain control of the Senate.
But King's decision follows similar announcements by Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey on Thursday, Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds last week and U.S. Rep. Tom Latham in February.
The series of declarations from Republicans who say they won't run for the seat has perplexed the state party and been a source of concern for the GOP's national Senate campaign organization, which dispatched its top political operatives to Iowa last week to survey the landscape and potential candidate recruits.
The delegation had asked Iowa Republican Gov. Terry Branstad to consider running. Branstad, who is expected to seek a sixth term next year, had urged Latham to seek the seat and had promoted his protege Reynolds for the campaign.
State Sen. Joni Ernst of Red Oak has voiced interest in the seat. Former Reliant Energy CEO Mark Jacobs of West Des Moines has also spoken with GOP strategists about a campaign.
King, popular with his western Iowa Republican base, was viewed as vulnerable in more populous and politically diverse eastern Iowa. Branstad had publically urged King to hold off on a 2014 run and commit to broadening his statewide network for a possible run in 2016, when six-term Republican Sen. Charles Grassley might retire.
Republicans have not yet recruited top-tier candidates in other open races in potential pickup states such as Michigan. Meanwhile, the GOP feels confident about its chances for picking up a seat in states such as West Virginia and South Dakota, where veteran Democratic senators are retiring and where Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney won in 2012.

Game stops responding when ending guide
Submitted by Bearzerker on Fri, 2013-05-24 12:13.
My game stops responding when I try to tick the last box of this guide.
Tried a couple of times and same result every time. Have to kill it with taskmaster
Even whent to sleep to see if it would "unlock" the game during but no, was still up but nonresponsive.
Playing on Windows7 x64 Ultimate OS if that is relevant.
Flying Mount?
Submitted by Estelyen on Tue, 2012-10-23 08:49.
Is it even possible to get up to Kunzen Village without a flying mount? Most people who use this guide for leveling won't be able to use theirs while doing this guide until Blizzard reduces the level requirement.

/sigh the guide registration
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sun, 2012-09-23 04:10.
the guide registration lists next GID as Kun Lai. I have no clue if I did that while I was trying to figure out what was up with it not loading, or someone else did it. But, at least as XP stands now, no one is going to be wanting to skip Krasarang if thier goal is lvl 90 and they dont have rested XP.

This change above (Changing first few lines of Valley of 4 Winds guide) didnt make it into the version of this guide that is in the 2.3 download. I noticed this because the version that is in the download has it registered as an alliance guide...
Also the next guide is 'RajKra8788'|'EmmKra8788' (not KAR)

I've been told those Z tag errors will go away when the final version is done... It is because the zones arent registered somewhere
(also... those lines you show above, arent they from the Krasarang Wilds guide?) I have just finished going thru Valley and Krasarang WIlds (Horde) and have quite a few changes to put up. I still need to do alliance and then I will submit the changes. I have stored them in my repository on github if you just cant wait to see the changes. :)

Bug with V2.3B?
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sun, 2012-09-02 07:42.
And after much editing and pulling my hair out. I finally discovered that whatever allowed the dual Next Guide, ('RajKar8788'|'EmmKar8788') appears to be broken. When I deleted the alliance followup, I was able to load the guide with my horde character. I believe this feature worked correctly in 2.2.5

I think its intended to go to Kun-Lai after Valley, rather than Krasarang as this guide suggests. Valley and Krasarag are in the same level range as an either/or decision.

If you have no rested exp and dont use 25 dailis for exp at panda start and leave out Krasarang,
then you might run out of exp when questing at 89. I still need to check that.
next guide
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sun, 2012-08-12 18:16.
I would agree that it could just as easily be Kun-Lai. but... I think even more accurately, Krasarang and Valley are really the same zone and sould be done together as one guide, since there are 2 quests in valley that send you to chains in Krasarang and the culmination quest in krasarang actually happens in valley. Also the Nessingwary chain is split between the two zones and IIRC either one refers you to the other spot for the other Nessingwary NPC's, To tie up loose ends, IMHO it is better to do Krasarang first.

WoW Pro Recorder for MoP Beta
Submitted by Partaxis on Sun, 2012-07-22 10:37.
Does V2.2.5 work fine on MoP Beta ? I would like to contribute, but i am kind of lost on the site.The Link pointing to the Recorder is a 2010 version. Where can i find a new version of the recorder to use on MoP Beta ?
Submitted by Emmaleah on Tue, 2012-07-24 02:27.
yes it works. I believe the latest version is dated 7/9/12 at github/jiyambi. I'm sorry I dont know the proper link, this site is trial and error to find stuff.
I have done Valley of the Four Winds(neutral), Krasarang Wilds(alliance and horde), and Kun-Lai Summit (neutral). I also have rough guides for Jade Forest alli and horde, but until they open it back up I can't finish them (I wrote them before addons were enabled, so they need lots of TLC in the form of LOCS and stuff). I' havent posted Kun-Lai summit yet as there is a phasing issue that prevents finishing the zone, but Im testing all the rest of the zone to be sure the rest is gtg. Feel free to test those or write your own.
It would probably be more efficient to work on the other zones, so that when MoP is released we have guides for all the zones. I mean, hopefully, eventually I will get to it, but I don't know that I will as I'm going on holiday for two weeks starting next week.

one more error
Submitted by Emmaleah on Tue, 2012-07-24 03:34.
Found another quest I didnt realize needed a Faction tag
This would be at line 50 in my version.
It currently reads:
A The Road to Kun-Lai|QID|31254|LVL|87|M|70.1,23.5|N|From Highlord Grummle.|
It should be:
A The Road to Kun-Lai|QID|31254|FACTION|Alliance|LVL|87|M|70.1,23.5|N|From Highlord Grummle.|
A The Road to Kun-Lai|QID|31255|FACTION|Horde|LVL|87|M|70.1,23.5|N|From Highlord Grummle.|
Blizzard has changed this quest... its now offered in Halfhill... so needs inserted in the Halfhill section, I suppose after:
R Halfhill Market|QID|30047|
A The Road to Kun-Lai|QID|31254|FACTION|Alliance|LVL|87|M|55.38,50.16|N|From Messenger Grummle.|
A The Road to Kun-Lai|QID|31255|FACTION|Horde|LVL|87|M|55.38,50.16|N|From Messenger Grummle.|
Hopefully I wont find any more.

Submitted by Emmaleah on Wed, 2012-07-25 07:55.
it cant. I got it halfhill with my most recent test subject, (because I wondered hey whats this new quest), dropped it and went over to Grassy Cline and it wasn't available. Which is a real shame, but I'm assuming its because it requires lvl 87 and people weren't lvl 87 yet when questing at Peng's stead so they were missing it. (thats why Bramiss didnt have it yet)

some errors
Submitted by Emmaleah on Sat, 2012-07-14 13:40.
When I was looking at this I see some of the lines didn't break right, I dont know how to send it to you so that isnt a problem.
anyway, the lines right after turning in hidden master (line 15 if i counted right) the next two lines should actually be 4 A Steps (well, actually they should be 5... but that was the error I was trying to come here to correct when I found the parsing error too.
exchange line 14 and 15 for the following:T The Search for the Hidden Master|QID|30086|M|84.1,21.1|N|To Xiao.|
