What is Tor?
Tor is an anonymity network that provides software designed to allow you to access the internet anonymously. Unlike a VPN, where the VPN provider knows your real IP address, and can see your internet traffic at the exit point (the VPN server). With Tor your signal is routed through a number of nodes, each of which is only aware of the IP addresses 'in front' of the node and 'behind' it, so that at no point can anyone know the whole path between your computer and the website you are trying to connect with. You can use a VPN with Tor, see our Tor VPN article for more information about this.
The name Tor originated in the acronym The Onion Router, which was developed by US Navy and refers to the way in which data encryption is layered, being re-encrypted multiple times as it passes between randomly selected nodes.
Tor is therefore considered an extremely secure way to access the internet while keeping your true identity hidden.
Tor is endorsed by many civil liberties groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), and has been widely praised for allowing dissidents, whistleblowers and human rights workers to access the internet, express their views, talk to journalists, and otherwise become involved in political activity that has been banned by their own repressive regimes.
It does of course also allow criminals to act with impunity, and famously allows access to the underground market The Silk Road, which only works when connected to using Tor. Those interested in the ethics of internet anonymity should keep a lookout for our upcoming article on the subject.
Tor vs. VPN
As you can see, the purpose of Tor is very similar to that VPN's primary purpose – to maintain internet users' online anonymity and to evade firewalls. Like VPN, it can also be used to spoof geo-location by the user continually re-connecting until the exit node is in the desired country (quite easy if you want a exit node, less easy for smaller or less internet connected countries).
However, not only is the technology used quite dissimilar (for a discussion on how VPN works see here), but they are also quite different in use.
Tor advantages
- No-one can trace you to external IPs visited
- Distributed network – almost impossible to shut down or attack in a meaningful way
Tor disadvantages
- Very slow – because your data is randomly bounced through a number of nodes, each of which could be anywhere in the world, using Tor can be painfully slow
- Not suitable for P2P filesharing – while there is no way to stop you from using BitTorrent over Tor (and people do it) it is a) very slow, and b) very bad form as it slows down the entire network for every other user, for some of whom access to the internet via Tor may be of critical and possibly importance
- While it can, at a pinch, be used for location spoofing (see above), Tor is a very fiddly and inefficient way to go about it. In addition to this, the slowness of Tor means that using the service to stream geo-restricted media services is unfeasible.
VPN advantages
- Fast – generally you will see little slowdown to your raw internet connection speeds when using a VPN service
- Location spoofing is very easy - most VPN providers offer servers in many locations worldwide. Because connections are fast, VPN is ideal for streaming geo-restricted media content
- Ideal for P2P filesharing - while many providers prohibit it, many are set up with filesharing in mind
VPN disadvantages
- The VPN provider can see your internet activity – and in many countries is required by law to keep records of it, which may be handed over to the authorities or to copyright lawyers. VPNs are also vulnerable to server raids by the police, in an effort to obtain the information they may contain. This is why it is vital to choose a provider who keeps no logs (and is in a position to keep this promise). Of course, even when a VPN provider promises to keep no logs, you must trust them to keep their word …
- Costs money (although typically under $10 a month, or less if you buy in bulk)
How Tor works
As we noted above, Tor passes data between a number of randomly selected nodes, encrypting it each time. Each node knows where the signal comes from and the node it is going to, but cannot see the whole route (circuit).
For reasons of these relay circuits are randomly reset every 10 minutes so that your actions cannot be linked to earlier actions.
Each node is run by a volunteer, and therefore the more volunteers there are, the more secure the whole Tor network is.
Volunteering to run an exit node is therefore of great service to the Tor community, and strikes a meaningful blow for freedom and against oppressive censorship. It is also not difficult to set up. However, running an exit node means that other Tor users' activity, including potentially highly illegal activity, will appear to originate from your IP address, which may lead to trouble. There is an article on how to minimize the risks available here.
Installing Tor
Installing Tor is very easy these days (it used to be a little more complicated), and it is available for Windows, OSX, Linux/Unix and Android.
In you need only download and run Tor package, which will self-extract into a directory of your choice (no additional installation files are added to your computer.
Double-click on the 'Start and the connection dialogue will start.
Once connected, the Tor client starts a customized version of Firefox Portable. Not only is this very lightweight, but it allows you to carry a version of Tor with you on a USB stick (for example) so you can easily access the internet anonymously from any PC.
You can now surf the internet anonymously! The Tor service can be turned on and off using the Onion icon, or customized using the icon's drop-down menu.
Tor also provides a customized version of the Tails Live CD/USB Linux based distro, so you can boot directly into a secure OS.
The great advantage of Tor is that you do not need to trust anyone - your internet use is completely anonymized. However, it is very slow, and largely as a consequence of this, it is not suitable for many of the most popular activities people want to use VPN for, such as filesharing and streaming geo-restricted media content. If you are looking to stay anonymous whilst torrenting, take a look at our best VPN for torrent sites guide for more information.
As long as a trustworthy no logs VPN provider is used, then VPN is a very secure, privacy solution that provides much greater performance and flexibility than Tor can offer.
If, on the other hand, you are a mafia whistleblower or a dissident living under a regime in which it would be very dangerous to be caught performing activity (such as writing political blogs), then Tor is the safest solution.
Just remember that there is no such thing as a 100% guarantee of anonymity, whichever route you take. There are always, at least potentially, loopholes in any security arrangement, and individuals often give their true identities away through patterns of , unguarded comments made while , or any other number of simple and not-so-simple mistakes.

I seem to finally be over a cold that lingered for about two weeks. Most years, I deliberately plan a 2-3 week downtime, where I basically give myself permission to do nothing at all, unless I'm really motivated. Usually, this break comes in the winter, so I will do some skiing, but not much else for a few weeks. I think the rest is good for me, and it helps me (mentally and physically)from getting burned out on training. But, about 14 months ago, I discovered CrossFit. And somehow, last winter, I forgot to take a break.
I looked at my training logs over the past couple weeks, since I wasn't training. I was curious how long it had been since I'd gone more than a week with no workouts at all. The answer was 13 months - much longer than it should have been. Between a lot of stress at work and the training I was doing, I think everything just caught up with me. And, after about two weeks with no workouts at all, and then a week to ease back into things, I am feeling much better.
During the past three weeks, I got past some major hurdles at work. I was faced with a few really difficult technical issues around a new product and how to generate reports in a totally new software architecture, and I managed to solve all of the problems (no thanks to one of the hugest software companies in the world, who will go unnamed here). I caught up on sleep. Over a four day Thanksgiving break, I slept more than 10 hours for three straight nights.
And last Wednesday, after no workouts for two weeks, I hopped on the rowing machine after work. I rowed my second fastest 5K ever on the rower. Then, I took a rest day and cooked Thanksgiving dinner for my family and my wife's family. The day after Thanksgiving, I did a workout on my own - some lifting and Abmat sit-ups. The next day, I went to CrossFit, and did a scaled down version of a tough workout named Bradshaw. And then, I rested for two days, despite the fact that I had the option to ski on those days. I simply felt like I needed the rest and there will be many days to ski starting very soon.
Last night, I went to CrossFit after work, ready to do a hard workout for the first time in a while, and I most certainly got a hard one:
30 minutes, as many reps as possible:
5 deadlifts (I did 205#)
13 push-ups (I switched to knee push-ups within the first 10 minutes)
9 box jumps (18")
I think I completed the fewest rounds of anyone in the class, doing 12 total rounds. I was averaging 2 minutes per round for the first 8 rounds, and then suddenly, it was taking closer to 3 minutes per round. Despite switching to knee push-ups, my triceps are still shaky this morning from 156 push-ups. My legs are also feeling the 108 box jumps.
Tonight's workout starts with heavy back squats. After that, I'm guessing we'll do a much shorter main workout, given what we did last night.
This coming weekend I will be doing pre-season ski instructor training. Hopefully, some of it will be on snow, but the weather is making that look less and less likely. It's been ridiculously warm, and after being open for 4 days, Sugarbush had to close on Monday. Even if I spend the weekend just talking about skiing, it will be nice to spend time with my ski instructor friends and get ready for the upcoming season. I'm probably going to have a different role at the mountain this season. Rather than spending the season with a fixed group of students, I'm going to be a fill-in coach, a trainer for newer coaches, and then spend a lot of time in training with our most experienced coaches. By the end of the season, I would like to take my PSIA level 3 skiing exam. In order to get ready for that exam, I need to have a more challenging season than my normal job, and I need to spend time improving my skiing, with feedback from our best instructors. My boss suggested that a different role this season should challenge me more than my normal job, allow me to take the training I need, and also help out with some of our newer coaches. I'm looking forward to a very different kind of season.

So, these African Iris bulbs were divided over the weekend.
I had the perfect spot for them.
Before transplanting them,
the roots were given a little trim.
This will give them room to grow.
This weeping elm is the only mature tree we have on the property.
There is some lantana surrounding it.
These easy care plants were added here.
Once these are blooming again,
it will look like lil' birds flitting about.
Here's the before.
Here's what it looks like now.
I love the way they seem to be dancing around the tree.
Mulch needed to be replaced in front of the house too.
What a difference a little pine bark makes, huh?
The daisies will thank us!
Mulch keeps plants insulated
so that they can deal with temperature changes
more easily.
It saves water by keeping moisture in the soil longer.
And it just looks downright tidy!
Enjoy your springtime projects!

Derek Brown is one of the most insightful and thoughtful people I know so when he suggested that he would like to contribute to Postcards from Scotland I was keen to hear more.
At that time Derek was headteacher in a school in Aberdeen and had been generating material on some of the big global issues of our time to use at school assemblies. There is a lot of information around on global problems such as human rights abuses and world poverty and hunger thanks to the many development organisations and the work of international agencies such as the UN. But the volume of this material can be daunting to a headteacher or classroom teacher who needs something more specific for the classroom or assembly. So Derek's idea was to write a book on global issues aimed at young people, mainly teenagers. The book would be written for youngsters to read if they were interested but would also be a resource for teachers or others working with young people.
I am Commissioning Editor for the Postcards from Scotland series. A conventional publisher would have automatically turned down Derek's suggestion on the basis that it was at odds with the target readership – adults. However, the more I thought about it the more I considered this an untenable response. All our books had been directed at adults so why wouldn't we want at least one book in the series aimed at young people, particularly when it was completely in tune with our desire to publish ideas for the future?
So my response to Derek was positive. But how best to cover global issues for young folk? Derek was aware that a book exclusively devoted to some of the big global problems such as climate change, lack of resources or human rights issues would be exceedingly negative for adults to handle, let alone young people. So he came up with the idea of structuring the book round seven global 'challenges' and seven global 'wonders'. For the latter he chose topics such as the Rights of the Child, CERN and the International Space Station – projects which have all involved a huge amount of international cooperation.
By choosing this structure Derek had set himself a daunting task. He had to cover fourteen chunky topics but so concisely that his contribution would still fit in with a book series of slim volumes.
Remarkably Derek has managed to do just that. Ok his book is a bit longer than other books in the series but not much. More importantly he has distilled each topic into essential information and some basic questions particularly round the types of ethical issues that are likely to engage young minds.
Derek also wanted to write the book in such a way that it could be a jumping off point for youngsters to do their own research. This meant using source material that was easily available on-line such as TED talks, newspaper articles and websites.
The Scottish education system is now placing a great emphasis on interdisciplinary learning and this book is a great resources as it weaves together information on such a wide range of topics and curriculum areas – science and technology, politics and current affairs, religious and moral education, geography … .
Earlier this week I had the privilege of attending a workshop led by Derek in a school in Kilmarnock for a group of 55 young people aged from 15-18 from six schools in the area. Derek got them thinking about some of the big global issues which in a shrinking world are going to effect their lives as well as their children and grandchildren. They quickly entered into discussion on the various topics and it was encouraging to see so many of them interested, engaged and committed to understanding these big issues on which parents and teachers are often silent.
So this is why I am so glad to see Derek Brown's Shaping Our Global Future: A guide for young people as number 8 in our Postcards from Scotland book series. Apart from anything else I learned a huge amount from reading it so don't think it is just for young people.
You can buy the book directly from the Centre for £7.99 including p&p. Click here

" I met Nutan after my two car accidents. I suffered from back and neck pain. The physiotherapy arranged at GP wasn't bringing expected results. I am impressed with Nutan's professional attitude, analytical skills and cheery personality. I don't feel just like another patient during the appointment, but someone she really wants to help to. She found the reason of pain which was previously neglected by the doctor. Even though the treatment is long, it brings the positive results and I feel much better. Thank you Nutan. Beata "
- Beata K: 17th October 2013
" I have been a patient of Nutan's for approx. 18 months where she helps keep my back condition under control. The treatment takes place in a very clean and friendly environment. I am always confident that Nutan can help treat my aches and pains with the best professional care that she can provide. I would recommend Nutan to anybody who is looking for a chiropractor. "
- 2amr: 5th October 2013
" After having a car accident and suffering a whiplash injury that moved into my lower back. I went to see Nutan, not only did she giving me treatment but advice on exercise's to support her treatment. I'm pleased to say I am back teaching yoga. Very professional advice and treatment given. "
- Tinh: 1st August 2013
" I sought help from Nutan after an accident at work which left me with excruciating pain in my mid back area. I was in a lot of pain and had trouble breathing. After just two treatments with Nutan, I felt much better and the pain was completely alleviated. I reckon I am now more mobile than I was before! An excellent Chiro..thank you Nutan! "
- Sarita: 3rd August 2013
" I was seeing Nutan for my tennis elbow, lower back pain and ankle problems; she has excellent bedside manner, and is very polite. Nutan has healing hands! Felt at ease being treated by her. Many thanks Nutan! "
- Reema J: 7th April 2014
" When I came to the clinic 2 weeks ago, I could hardly walk. Pain has now practically gone and i feel 70% better already compared to when I first came. Nutan knows exactly what she is doing and is providing the best treatment for my health. I would recommend anyone with health care problems to visit her. "
- Beryl G: 1st June 2013
" From my initial consultation I felt guided, informed and in safe hands with Dr Fatania. I have been given step by step guidance and i feel my sports injury has improved. I thoroughly recommend her service and ECC "
- Jonathon. W: 8th March 2014
" This is my first experience visiting a chiropractic practice. After a thorough assessment I initially attended twice weekly. I was given a few exercises which i carry out daily. I have definitely benefited from this type of therapy. My injury continues to get better and we are now working on another joint problem I have. I hope to continue visiting as a maintenance strategy, on a monthly basis. Nutan is a really lovely young lady, I wouldn't hesitate recommending this treatment at her practice. "
- Kerry: 15th March 2014
" Nutan Fatania is an absolutely amazing chiropractor! She understands backs inside out and was able to tell me what was wrong with mine after just one consultation. I have struggled with my back for years and have had a number of MRI scans and physio sessions which have all proved futile... each time clinicians telling me different things and advising me to do different exercises. I have even been recommended to have disc replacement surgery. Nutan was able to identify the problem and, although very early days in our treatment, thinks she can help me to fix my back. Nutan is such a nice woman who is incredibly approachable and patient focused. I would recommend her to anyone and look forward to our next session greatly. "
- Beth. M
" Excellent Chiropractic treatment by Ms. Nutan Fatania. Massive relief in several pain spots thanks to her sciatica treatment. Immediate boost of mobility and therefore quality of life with just 2 sessions. I just wish I had known about her before! -London practice "
- Alejandro. S
" Warm and insightful. My experience at Emerald was warm and insightful. Dr Fatania delivered a professional service, providing a thorough check and lots of helpful tips! My neck feels a whole lot better and I shall return to complete my full treatment. Thank you! "
- Meera.P: 13th May 2015
" The treatment was effective and interesting, using both traditional techniques and more modern aids. And overall, a great service; Dr Fatania was very professional and informative, giving a lot of helpful advice. Would recommend to others, Thanks very much. "
- Matt. C: 2nd February 2016
" Couldn't recommend it enough! Best birthday present my husband bought me! I've suffered with back problems for over a decade including four pregnancies, two epidurals (once which damaged my nerves leaving me numb still for a year on with shooting pains down my sides-doesn't happen at all now!!) and a car accident which physiotherapy couldn't fix..

" I suffered from intensive arthritis in my leg and I was recommended by a friend who had been attending Emerald Chiropractic Care, to come and see a chiropractor. Once I has registered my self, I met Nutan Fatania who was going to be my chiropractor for my treatment. Nutan Fatania is a very pleasant young lady who I felt very comfortable with when I was undergoing my treatment.She was very understanding and she was very gentle when she was doing the treatment. After the whole treatment I have felt less pain in my leg, and I feel a lot better and I will definitely be recommending her to my friends and family. "

" "I left my Chiropractor Consultation feeling elated and positive my pain would ease" 5 Stars ""Shoulder and middle back pain, left side" Treatment was fully explained so I understood everything and why certain movements were being explored. A fully comprehensive session where I felt at ease and completely in safe hands. The manipulation was delicate but effective and lots of information given on stretches and salt baths in between my next session. Full history taken too which explained why I have been having lots of other problems, which I didn't realise we're connected to my spine. I left feeling elated and positive my pain would ease. Nutan is a professional with great social and people skills and after only one session, I feel like a new person. So glad I booked here! The reason I booked at the Emerald clinic is due to Nutan's concern about my enquiry, whereas other clinics simply told me which appointments they had. Nutan expressed concern about the tiger balm I was using and told me immediately to change to an ice pack on and off every ten minutes. This was before I had even booked an appointment! The ice pack really helped and she answered more questions I had about pain relief drugs and gels and was a complete joy to meet. A wonderful clinic with very competitive fees. Going back next week for more fixing and can't wait!" "
- Leanne.C: 4th September 2016
" I have had problems with my lower back for years and having been to see and receive treatment from Nutan it has improved immensely.

The service is amazing! "
- Emma. A: 30th March 2014

text: In addition to presenting at World Tea Expo as a gold sponsor, a member of our team also lead the Focused Tasting Class - Innovative Ways With Matcha. Aside from being able to connect with the tea community directly, smaller shows like World Tea are also all about education and spreading correct information about each variety of tea. In the case of Matcha, this is particularly important as it is still a relatively new tea on the market and there are many misconceptions/misunderstandings about it floating around. Being able to connect directly with people who want to learn more about Matcha is an invaluable experience that we are all about. Beginning at 8:00 on Saturday morning during the show, Daniel taught part two of our Matcha education classes. While in years past, our education classes had focused predominately on "What is Matcha?" and getting the basics of the tea out to the community, this class focused on how to use Matcha, how to tell grades of Matcha apart by examining them, and how to incorporate Matcha into a tea shop/retail setting. It was a very enjoyable and informative back and forth with all the attendees. We greatly appreciate your enthusiasm, time, and dedication and hope the class was as great for the attendees as it was for us presenting! If you have any questions or attended the class and would like a copy of the slides, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

25. Alicia Fox
Alicia Fox lost against against Bayley on Raw. Of course she did, now give us Bayley vs Charlotte
24. Ariya Daivari
Ariya Daivari's match with Lince Dorado on Raw ended in a DQ. I don't really care for the cruiserweights.
23. Natalya
Natalya lost against Carmella on SmackDown. I'm a fan of Natalya, but I also don't care about her anymore.
22. The Hype Bros
The Hype Bros won a number 1 contender battle royal on SmackDown. They should be higher up than this, but who cares.
21. The Club
The Club lost against The New Day on Raw. I feel like they're not winning these titles for a long time.
20. TJ Perkins
TJ Perkins lost against Brian Kendrick on Raw.
19. Brian Kendrick
See above. The cruiserweight sections on Raw are just one big advert for 205 Live.
18. Bayley
Bayley beat Alicia Fox on Raw. Bayley's build towards the title has been good, now have her beat Charlotte at Royal Rumble and face Sasha Banks at WrestleMania.
17. Carmella
Carmella beat Natalya on SmackDown. I'm growing to like Carmella more every week.
16. The Shield
The Shield, well... Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, lost against The New Day on Raw.
15. JeriKO
See above. They should be in the same spot as Rollins and Reigns, but JeriKO are clearly better.
14. Becky Lynch
Becky Lynch beat Alexa Bliss via countout on SmackDown. I'm kind of tired of her now.
13. Dean Ambrose
Dean Ambrose appeared on MizTV before losing against Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown.
12. The Miz
See above. I don't like when midcard champions are in the World title picture, it doesn't elevate the belt in my eyes, kind of makes it pointless.
11. Cesaro and Sheamus
Cesaro and Sheamus lost against The New Day on Raw. I want these two to be the next tag team champions. Didn't think I'd be saying that a few months ago.
10. Luke Harper
Luke Harper appeared on MizTV before losing against Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown. Wow Luke Harper is good!
9. AJ Styles
AJ Styles appeared on MizTV on SmackDown. He's just the best!
8. Dolph Ziggler
Dolph Ziggler beat Dean Ambrose, Luke Harper and The Miz on SmackDown to become number 1 contender for the WWE Championship. HE LOST AN INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP FEUD 2 WEEKS AGO!
7. Braun Strowman
Braun Strowman squashed Curtis Axel on Raw. Strowman might be one of my favourite guys on Raw right now.
6. Sami Zayn
Sami Zayn beat Jinder Mahal on Raw. This Zayn vs Strowman feud is so good and should catapult both guys towards the US Championship picture.
5. Rusev
Rusev and Big Cass cut a promo on Raw.
4. Big Cass
See above. I basically see this feud exactly the same way I see the Strowman and Zayn feud. Absolutely incredible and capable of elevating everyone involved.
3. Jack Gallagher
I don't like most of the cruiserweights, but anyone who announces that they're about to interfere in a match is getting high up in these rankings!
2. The New Day
The New Day defended their titles twice on Raw. First against The Club and Cesaro and Sheamus, then against The Shield and JeriKO. That's how you make a record breaking tag team look strong!
1. Alexa Bliss
Alexa Bliss cut an incredible promo before losing against Becky Lynch via countout because she was 'injured'. She's just the best person in the company right now!
Do you think anyone should be listed differently?
What can these Superstars do to get back up at the #1 spot?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Watch this video (These guys are my idols):
Someday I hope to do something similar. Maybe newsies in brigham square or stick to the status quo in the terrace or an ipod dance party in the library or an efy line dance in the tanner building. Just wait. It will happen.
Who's in?

Bethesda Softworks and ID Software have already announced the release date for DOOM, but what about the inevitable beta? Closed beta details for the gory PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC first-person shooter were released Wednesday.
The DOOM multiplayer closed beta will start Thursday, March 31, at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and run through Sunday, April 3, at 11:59 p.m. ET / 8:59 p.m. PT. Those that had the forethought to pre-order or purchase Wolfenstein: The New Order are guaranteed to get in.
That's right. Access to the DOOM closed beta is currently limited to those that pre-ordered the now two-year old game back when this DOOM was still being advertised with the number four next to it. Fortunately, ID Software confirmed that participants of the DOOM multiplayer alpha test will be in the closed beta test as well. "You'll simply need to make sure you build has updated on Mar 31," the game's Twitter account revealed.
Those that get into the DOOM multiplayer closed beta should obviously expect the multiplayer portions of the game only. The single-player campaign and SnapMap editor will not be included. Additionally, the amount of multiplayer content will be limited, as well.
Players will be limited to two maps during the DOOM closed beta – Heatwave and Infernal – while the available game modes will consist only of Team Deathmatch and Warpath with six vs six matches. Meanwhile, the following power-ups and weapons will also be available.
- Demon: Revenant
- Weapons: Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle, Super Shotgun, Vortex Rifle, Static Rifle, Heavy Assault Rifle, and Lightning Gun
- Power Weapons: Gauss Cannon
- Equipment: Frag Grenade, Personal Teleporter, Siphon Grenade
PC gamers who want to take DOOM for a ride will want to make sure their gaming rig is prepared. The following are the minimum and recommended specs for the beta. It's important to note the Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 TI and mobile GPUs will not be supported for the beta.
Minimum PC Spec (720p)
- Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only)
- Intel Core i5-2400 or better / AMD FX-8320 or better
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (2GB) or better / AMD Radeon HD 7870 (2GB) or better
- Up to 22GB HDD space
- Steam account
- Broadband internet connection
Recommended Spec (1080p)
- Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (64-bit versions only)
- Intel Core i7-3770 or better / AMD FX-8350 or better
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 (4GB) or better / AMD Radeon R9 290 (4GB) or better
- Up to 22GB HDD space
- Steam account
- Broadband internet connection
ID Software also announced the reverse sleeve cover for physical copies of DOOM. There were complaints that the game's cover art was generic. So, the developer and publisher asked fans to vote on a reverse sleeve cover and the following is the result.
Here it is – the new reverse sleeve cover for DOOM #VoteLikeHell. Thanks for voting! pic.twitter.com/4cZZr1wJTE— DOOM (@DOOM) March 7, 2016
DOOM fans can look forward to a May 13 release date and should expect a re-imagining of the classic single-player campaign plus the arena style multiplayer the game kicked off. Domination, freeze tag, and clan arena are other modes confirmed for the game so far, in addition to the two modes used during the closed beta. The shooter is also embracing the modding community with DOOM Snapmap.
Snapmap is a modding tool built into DOOM that allows players to quickly and easily build their own maps. It also provides the ability to create all new gameplay modes by going in and creating or edit game logic. Additionally, the new content created can be shared across the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
This is similar to how Fallout 4 mods will be shared between each platform, which will be done through the Bethesda.net website. The publisher hasn't shared any additional details yet other than to say they plan to reveal more in 2016.

I applied for a recently week at a kennel. The kennel owner was a dog trainer. He had been trained by the police to train police dogs,and developed his skills to train bomb and drug sniffing dogs. That's where he 'came from.' His kennel was phenomenal, and I would have loved to work for him, but he hired someone else. I have a pretty good idea why he went with someone else and not with me.
I believe he could get the person he hired more cheaply—at an hourly rate of pay, rather than me, who expects commission. He hired a guy, who can lift all the 8o pound dogs. The biggest reason is that he doesn't get clients who are really particular about the styling of their dogs, they just want the dogs clean and neat. They are pets. Why hire me when you believe you can get the same basic skills more cheaply? If you think you need me just in case someone with a Berger Picard or Welsh Terrier comes in, you see the value. If you believe the odds are that it is not likely to happen, you go with cheaper. I understand.
This kennel owner asked me what I saw the future of pet grooming to be. All I got out was, "Well, I think the designer dog craze will be over in about 10 years when people finally realize they are not getting genetically sound dogs. That being of different breeds does NOT add hybrid vigor…" but he got busy. Probably for the best.
The industry players are in huge denial. It is more profitable to open a grooming school than it is to groom dogs. When I learned to groom, 99% of the dogs we groomed were poodles, with poodle feet and patterns. This is not longer the case. They are all getting shaved now. If you can shave a dog without injuring it, that is considered grooming.
We've come full circle. When I started, over 40 years ago, we'd sometimes get a Schnauzer or cocker spaniel to groom, but most of the owners of just about any o breed other than Poodles returned to the breeder to have the dog groomed. They didn't trust pet groomers. Now, with so many retail chains and dog daycare businesses offering grooming, it is happening again.
A friend took a Samoyed she was showing to a pet groomer, and ask the groomer is she knew how to do a show grooming on a Sam. The groomer assured my friend she knew. Maybe the dog needed some trimming around the feet and butt cheeks, but my friend got back a shaved dog—and she will never—ever trust a groomer who does not show dogs. On Facebook feed, a groomer posted a photo of a Bedlington Terrier groomed like a Miniature Schnauzer at one of the pet shop chains. Interesting, but I know that Bedlington's owner will not trust another pet groomer.
So, we have that issue, and the issue of the designer dogs having to mostly be shaved, and the most popular breeds being dogs that do not need grooming (Bostons, Frenchies, Labrador Retrievers, Bulldogs, Boxers, and of course, Pit Bulls), and what does that leave us.
While we have some of the shelters and rescues adopting out shaggier dogs,Ii know they aren't asking the adoptors if they understand what grooming is likely to cost & how often it needs to be done. How ethical is that?
Then we have the basic fact that most of us—and our clients—are the 99%. I was working in an area where I knew some of my clients were the 1% and cost was no issue, but for most of us, our clients spend more on the dog than they do on retirement savings (and then those very same clients whine about being on a fixed income and not being able to afford grooming).
My personal plan has always been to cater to that 1%. Why pander to those that can't afford to pay you? How much sense does that make?A lot of them have sense now, and either don't own a dog, or are going for Pit rescues. I do not blame them. But there are not enough groomable dogs for all the people who want to do this for a living. For the novice groomers who want to believe that there are jobs against all the evidence that there are not, ask your employer what he pays himself.
