This Tyranitar is a rock/dark-type Pokémon that was owned by Vicious.
Vicious caught this timid Tyranitar at the Pokémon Hunter's camp in order to get himself a new, strong Pokémon, demonstrate the powers of his Dark Ball and force the Hunter to reveal the place where he had seen Celebi. Vicious also sent Tyranitar to battle against Ash and friends, who were carrying Celebi, but they got away as James' Weezing used its SmokeScreen to distract the Marauder, so he wouldn't "steal their Pikachu away", as Team Rocket thought he was doing.
Later, Vicious sent his Tyranitar to battle against Suicune. Brock used his Onix to battle Tyranitar, but the powered-up Armor Pokémon was too strong for Brock's Rock Snake Pokémon. Suicune, however, was able to defeat Tyranitar with a powerful BubbleBeam, and Onix used its last powers to slam it to the Lake of Life. Later, after Vicious was defeated, the freed Tyranitar was seen swimming through the lake and disappearing into the mist, sinking Team Rocket's raft on the way.

I have a weakness for the Famicom colour scheme. That bold crimson, the slightly tacky gold, it's an 80s Chinese restaurant, bad hotel lobby and classic Nintendo console, all rolled into two tones.
And that's just seeing the shades on the internet! Put them on a 3DS - like James Montagna has done here - and I'll kill and kill again, just to get hold of one.
Sadly, for now this is just a custom job. But since Nintendo has returned to the Famicom well for handheld reissues before (there have been Game Boy Micro and GBA versions in maroon + gold), who knows, maybe one day soon we'll get one of these for real.
And it'll be Japan-only. Sigh.

SEE: "Reparations denial is white supremacist racial terror-ism we will protect ourselves against. If you are not making restitution for your kind's generational race crimes, you are attacking us. We will defend ourselves from your violence."
ALL WHITES R REPARATIONS OFFENDERS;" Definition Of A Reparations Offender: Direct & Non Direct, Which R You? The entire "Western world" profited and still reaps benefits from both that slave trade and the concept of white supremacy and the institution of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. Therefore, the entire white world owes.
Contemporary whites' position that they don't owe for slavery is in the same vain of their morally degenerate forefathers who set forth barriers to make the climate to seek reparations impossible after their so-called abolishment of slavery was set fourth. "All whites are reparations offenders," says NBFSN General Cedishon Angelou.
"When you hear whites say: 'get over it,' 'slavery was a long time ago,' 'my family didn't own slaves, 'the Jews owned the slave ships,' 'your own kind sold you into slavery,' and other sentiments like these, know these are the most common excuses these devils will use in attempts to not accept responsibiltity for and make restitution for their kind's generational race crimes. Know today that these are unacceptable racist statements reparations offenders use in support of their kind's historical racial terrorism. Whites who make statements like these are just as racially terroristic as the whites who dehumanized and terrorized our ancestors during the slave trade and even in this – the post Trans Atlantic slave trade era. Most often, these are the kinds of whites you will have to defend yourself against in a repartions protest." NBFSN Counter Terrorism minister Malachi Louis
National Legal & Policy Center's "The Case Against Slave Reparations" by Reparations Of-fenders Peter Flaherty & John Carlisle Dismantled; Ask Rusty Ross: is my property on the NBFSN Slavery Repartions List? Featuring Michael "Slave Avenger" Thorpe; "Tell whites, no slavery reparatons, no peace! 400 years of slavery equals 800 years of freedom!" NBFSN
"There are direct reparations offenders and non-direct reparations offenders. Direct reparations offenders are whites from families who owned slaves. Non direct reparations offenders are whites from families who enjoyed either (or both) enjoyed the economic and social position the institution of slavery and white racism afforded them. We do not see the non-direct ones as less guilty than the ones who actually did own slaves."

Geolocation in MongoDB at San Francisco MonogoDB User Group
Thanks to 10gen for having me over at the last user group meetup in SF to speak on "Geolocation in MongoDB". I have been leveraging MonogoDB's geolocation features as a part of the super awesome, yet to be released app: doaround. I shared some of the essentials of geolocation in MongoDB during this session and plan on covering some more at the Silicon Valley MonogoDB Meetup in Palo Alto this coming January.
Thanks to all who came for my session. Thanks also for all the great questions and the conversation after the session. Here is the presentation from the session:

Traditional surf pools force large quantities of water over a hump to create their swells. Problem is, waves fall apart the further they travel, making for a less-than-gnarly curl. So the Wavegarden builds a better wave, mechanically.
Rather than pump water over a ridge, which does nothing for creating the gnarly tubes surfers crave, the Wavegarden system pulls an fin-sled—like an airplane's wing but underwater—to water over the underlying seafloor (lake bottom, mall fountain, wherever) forming waves that fold over themselves and break like natural swells on a reef. Waves grow in height and energy the faster the submerged sled is pulled and can be modified at will. The available land area is the only limiting factor; the current prototype model can produce a 1.6 meter wave with a 30-second tube over a distance of 250 meters. Righteous, bro.

It will be hard for Lejeune�s Jamaz Richardson to duplicate what he did last year running the football.
It will be hard for Lejeune�s Jamaz Richardson to duplicate what he did last year running the football.
As a junior, Richardson led the area with 2,313 yards and 23 touchdowns, averaging 8.8 yards per carry.
And, for good measure, he had 15 receptions for 186 yards and another score. Richardson finished the year as a first-team player on The Daily News all-area team.
But fast forward to this year and Richardson, now a four-year varsity senior, wants more.
But just how much more?
�I just want to do better than I did last year,� Richardson said. �I want to get more yards, I want to get more touchdowns and I want to win more games.�
Lejeune coach Darryl Schwartz believes Richardson will get those yards and touchdowns.
�Jamaz will definitely match or do better than he did last year,� he said. �He knows what he can do. He can catch, he can run and he can also throw. He�s durable.�
The 16-year-old Richardson is particularly interested in getting more victories this year after Lejeune followed a four-game winning streak by losing its final three games last season to finish 5-7 and 3-2 in the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference.
Lejeune�s season ended with a 34-20 home playoff loss to a Rosewood team that the Devilpups beat 41-15 earlier in the year.
Lejeune opens official practice this season Aug. 1 and kicks off the regular season Aug. 23 at Swansboro. Richardson said he�s been working hard this summer to prepare.
�I�ve been busy. I�ve gone to a lot of football camps and I�ve been going to the gym,� Richardson said. �I feel like I�m changing already and that I�m getting faster, stronger and bigger.�
And because of his work, Richardson anticipates his number being called many times as the Devilpups try to improve from last year.
Still, he knows he can�t do it alone.
�It feels good. It really does,� Richardson said of being Lejeune�s go-to back. �It feels good, but I like being a team player and getting everybody involved. We are going to work harder than ever and this year we have a lot of people who have put in the same work I have put in.�
Schwartz has seen Richardson take offseason workouts more serious this summer.
�He�s more of a hard worker, he�s more of a leader and he�s more concerned about the team than himself,� Schwartz said. �He�s more into it and he�s taking ownership of the team. Jamaz is almost like an assistant coach on the field. He�s always positive and he�s always helping out. He is ready for the season.�
Richardson certainly does his part when he carries the ball.
Despite being just 5-foot-6 and weighing in at 147 pounds, he�s been an elusive back and has shown an ability to break for long gains.
As a sophomore in 2011, Richardson rushed for 484 yards on just 51 carries while playing behind Akile Jones, who ran for 2,835 yards and 37 touchdowns.
Richardson said he doesn�t necessarily have one direct running style. Instead, when running the ball, he uses his speed and pretend he�s back in his elementary school days when the game of tag was popular during recess.
�My running style is don�t let anybody touch you,� Richardson said. �It�s like a game of tag. You don�t let anybody get a hand on you. Last year people would bring me down so easily, but that won�t happen this year. I�m pretty confident in me and my team that we will be good and that we will go pretty far this year.�

HOWTO: Passwordless SSH with Single Signon
If you work with multiple *nix-based machines via ssh, you are probably tired of constantly having to enter your password every time you want to access another box. There is a secure way to allow you to access every machine, that you have ssh access to, without having to enter another password (other than the one you signed on with originally.)
This is actually quite simple to do, you basically just create a public/private key pair to authenticate yourself to your other machines, then have PAM spawn an agent to load your keys after you logon, providing a single signon solution to accessing all your remote machines. This guide will walk you through setting this up.
Equo Stuff
First of all, we are going to need the pam_ssh module. You may already have this installed, if not equo it. I'm going to assume you already have openssh installed, as every system should.
# equo install pam_ssh
Create Key Pair
Now we need to create the key pair to authenticate yourself across the network. To do so, run this as your regular user.
$ ssh-keygen -t dsa
This will ask where to save the file, just press enter as the default is what we want.
After that it will ask for the passphrase you want to use. It is important to set the passphrase to the exact same password as your normal logon password for this user. This is the password for the user on the current machine, not the one for other machines, even if they differ.
When that is done, two files should of been created ~/.ssh/id_dsa and ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub .
$ chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_dsa
Distribute Public Key
Now we need to give all of our remote machines our public key so we can use it to authenticate. This is very simple to do, run the following command as your user for each remote system you want to setup the passwordless authentication for.
$ ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub [email protected]
Configure PAM
We need to tell PAM to use our logon password to spawn an ssh-agent and load the rsa key we just made. There are two lines for pam_ssh.so we need to add, so your system-auth should look something like this:
auth required pam_env.so # Add this line here auth sufficient pam_ssh.so auth sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass likeauth nullok auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix.so password required pam_cracklib.so difok=2 minlen=8 dcredit=2 ocredit=2 try_first_pass retry=3 password sufficient pam_unix.so try_first_pass use_authtok nullok md5 shadow password required pam_deny.so session required pam_limits.so session required pam_unix.so # Add this line to the end session optional pam_ssh.so
That's all we need to do, you should be able to logout and log back in with the ability to ssh to your remote hosts without a password (you may need to restart your login manager with "/etc/init.d/xdm restart")
If you are having problems creating or distributing your keys, take a look at [1] for more information on that task.
If you are still prompted for a password after completing this guide, there are a few files that you may need to check. Make sure both of these entries are set to "yes" on your remote hosts.
# Allow Identity Auth for SSH1? RSAAuthentication yes # Allow Identity Auth for SSH2? PubkeyAuthentication yes
Make sure these entries are in your local machine's config.
Host * Port 22 IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa

From SE Talk: Grotto Pizza in Delaware, Any Good?
News in one quick bite.
From the Talk forums of Slice parent site Serious Eats, frenzels asks:
I just drove through Delaware for the first time and saw several Grotto Pizza restaurants...my assumption was that the pizza was most likely terrible franchise crap. But just now, I noticed a SE thread in which someone mentioned Grotto Pizza as a must-visit hometown eatery in PA and DE. I realize "must-visit hometown places" are sometimes more prized for the comfort/nostalgia they induce rather than the quality of the actual food. Still, I'm weirdly curious. Thoughts?

The absurdity of this fiscal cliff debate ignores vital questions. Does the federal government allocate resources well, or poorly? Does the private market do it better, or worse? And what should be the balance between the two? With what degree of regulation by the government? These are profound questions about which our political leaders are nearly silent.
President Obama's class warfare, aimed at taxing the rich, avoids these tough questions. Republican leaders avoid them, too, with their counterpoints about raising revenue without raising actual tax rates. Neither side serves the country well; they do not debate the more fundamental issue about the role of government.
Let's look at these questions in the context of housing.
Federal policy changed after World War II. Our nation agreed to help returning veterans buy homes. The first government-subsidized (guaranteed) mortgages in the postwar period were for veterans. That national policy of assistance for veterans still has major support and few detractors.
Over time, the federal government misused its ability to allocate resources to housing. Fannie Mae ended up a national disaster. The old-style local lender (savings and loans) disappeared. The price for this federal allocation of housing resources eventually tallied in the hundreds of billions when it blew up. The housing collapse and the financial crisis associated with it have cost trillions in losses.
We are still unwinding the housing finance mess and its aftermath; but the private markets are clearing. Why? Not because of any fiscal program. It is the Fed that provides the healing. The Federal Reserve's low-interest-rate policy focused on mortgages is facilitating the repair of the housing sector.
Consider these facts. In the middle of 2009, as the worst recession in modern times was ending, 46 of the 50 states had falling house prices. In Nevada the plunge was 28%. Arizona 21%. Florida 18%. California 15%. Sources: Federal Housing Finance Agency, New Davis database.
Now, 44 states show rising house prices. Arizona is up 20%. Nevada is up 9%. California 7%. Florida 7%. Data is the four-quarter change by state: Purchase-Only Index (seasonally adjusted). The most recent time period reported is Q3 2011 - Q3 2012.
Housing is definitely recovering.
The Fed's policy of low mortgage rates certainly helps. Fannie's role is limited, although it still dominates the mortgage business by crowding out most others. And it still employs the implied federal guarantee, while the federal debt limit debate and fiscal cliff discussion ignore the reality of $5 trillion in federally-assisted housing finance. You have not heard clarity from Washington about the contingent liabilities of the United States. The Obama, Boehner, Reid, McConnell, Pelosi nexus pretend these contingent liabilities do not exist.
Now we have another federal housing finance mess unfolding. This, too, is an example of federal misallocation of resources and failure of federal policy, followed by federal cover-up through rule making. This, too, is an example of the Obama Administration's tactic of ignoring and postponing an inevitable financial cost and thereby exacerbating it. This, too, shows how Republicans fail to argue their case honestly and persuasively.
We are talking about the mess at FHA.
My friend Dennis Gartman does not mince words. He captured things perfectly in the November 30 issue of his eponymous daily letter which, by the way, we read regularly. Thank you, Dennis, for calling it as you see it and for giving us permission to share the letter with our readers.
The November 30, 2012 edition of The Gartman Letter said:
"The Federal Housing Administration finds itself in rather dire fiscal circumstances as mortgage after mortgage after mortgage that it made to people who should never have been given a mortgage are defaulting every hour. 17% of the FHA' mortgages are now delinquent and this is a shocking number."
So what is the Obama Administration doing about it, asks Dennis.
"Well it is extending the so-called grace period being allowed to its mortgagees. Starting in August of last year, the FHA began extending this grace period, giving dead beats a longer period of time in which to beat dead. Now, if you are unemployed but have an FHA guaranteed or issued mortgage you can miss a full year's payments and not be considered delinquent… up from what we considered an already far-too-lenient 3 months. After a year in the grace period if no payments are received, the FHA will begin foreclosure. However, as we understand it, if one payment is made before the twelve months is up, the mortgage is considered current and the clock begins again."
Dennis concludes, "Really, you cannot make this stuff up. What we have then is a growing pool of mortgagees who know that their house shall eventually be foreclosed upon and thus whose upkeep on the house diminishes with each missed payment. As one prescient economist once said, 'Never in history has a rented car been returned waxed.' Always in history 'renters' treat houses more poorly than owners, and owners not making payments are not even renters… they are merely squatters."
Readers, please note that billions of accumulated federal liabilities and contingent guarantees are at stake here. None of this federal liability is part of the current fiscal cliff debate.
In spite of problems on the fiscal side of the federal government, housing is recovering. The Fed's low-interest-rate policy will continue until housing reaches a normalized baseline, and that is still years away. For investment markets, the implications are huge. We continue to be overweight the housing-related ETFs, such as XHB. We have held XHB for over a year.
We believe this housing recovery cycle will run the entire rest of the decade. The housing ETFs have a survivor bias. The failed homebuilders are not around any more. We remain fully invested.
The absurdity of this fiscal cliff debate ignores vital questions. Does the federal government allocate resources well, or poorly? Does the private market do it better, or worse? And what should be the balance between the two? With what degree of regulation by the government? These are profound questions about which our political leaders are nearly silent.

Precious Metals and Commodity Options Fraud and Mismanagement Litigation and Arbitration Attorney, Russell L. Forkey, Esq.
March, 2012:
CFTC Charges Florida Resident Abraham Gutterman and His Companies, Alliance Capital Metals LLC and AR Goldman Wealth Management, LLC with Commodity Gold and Oil Options Fraud and Misappropriation
Defendants allegedly stole more than $480,000 from customers
Federal court enters emergency order freezing defendants' assets and protecting books and records
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently announced the filing of a federal court action against Abraham Gutterman, Alliance Capital Metals LLC (ACM), and AR Goldman Wealth Management, LLC (ARGWM) (doing business as U.S. Principal Financial Services), all of South Florida, charging them with commodity options fraud and misappropriation.
On March 15, 2012, the same day the complaint was filed, Judge Cecilia M. Altonaga of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, entered an emergency order freezing the defendants' assets. The order also prohibits the defendants from destroying or altering books and records. The judge set a hearing date for April 11, 2012.
The CFTC complaint alleges that from at least November 2009 to the present, the defendants fraudulently solicited and accepted at least $483,725 from at least 15 customers to trade gold and oil commodity options contracts. Defendants allegedly never disclosed to customers that their funds would be used for any purposes other than trading gold and oil options. Instead, the defendants misappropriated all of the customers' funds, and spent the money on various personal expenses, including restaurants, gambling, entertainment, and retail purchases, according to the complaint.
The defendants allegedly lured customers using cold-calls, a website, and at least one face-to-face meeting in a bar in Hialeah, Fla. ACM and ARGWM allegedly used high pressure sales tactics, calling customers repeatedly and promising large profits to convince them to invest. Defendants did not provide customers with any documentation of their investments or account activity statements, and when one customer asked how his investment was doing, ACM and ARGWM advised him to watch the price of gold on business news television stations, according to the complaint.
Specifically, ACM and ARGWM, by and through their employees and agents, allegedly made the following misrepresentations and omissions of material fact to persuade customers to invest:
- customers would "make a killing" if they invested in commodity options through ACM and ARGWM;
- customers would make approximately $200,000 to $300,000 in less than three months with a $20,000 investment in gold options;
- the majority of ACM's and ARGWM's prior customers bought gold options in 20 contract lots and those customers' investments had increased significantly;
- customers needed to "get in now" because the price of gold was about to rise from prices of approximately $1,700 to $1,800 per ounce to $2,500 per ounce;
- for every dollar the price per ounce of gold goes up, the customer's options contracts would increase in value by $500 to $2,000; and
- gold options are a good investment for retirement savings and, after investing with ACM and ARGWM, the customer would have more than enough money to retire within just a few months.
Within a few months of investing, ACM and ARGWM allegedly advised customers that all their funds had been lost trading commodity options and the only way to recoup their investments was to invest additional funds. When customers requested that ACM and ARGWM sell their purported commodity options and return the balance of their funds, ACM and ARGWM allegedly refused and instead pressured customers not to sell their investments. No money was ever returned to the customers, according to the complaint.
In its continuing litigation, the CFTC seeks civil monetary penalties, restitution, rescission, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains, trading and registration bans, and preliminary and permanent injunctions against further violations of the federal commodities laws, as charged.

I was surprised when I felt something in the front right pocket. I knew instantly it was cash. And I could tell it was more than one bill.
Was it $20?
I pulled three folded bills out of my pocket. I filed through each one.
All three of them singles.
Three bucks.
Help Families Affected BY COVID-19
Families in poverty have no safety net in times of crisis. Help provide food, medical care and support during this pandemic.
I have to admit, there was a moment of disappointment. I mean, even though I was excited that I found money in my pocket, wouldn't it have been nice if it was more?
Then I'm reminded that over 1 billion people on this planet will work all day today and not get paid what I just found in my pocket.
Even the father of the girl I sponsor won't make $3 today, after putting in eight hours of hard, sweaty construction work. That is, if he can find work in Manila today.
I can't imagine misplacing a full day's pay and not tearing up the house to find it. I can't imagine digging into my pocket and finding an entire day's wages. But that's exactly what I did, in the eyes of a billion people.
Three bucks. It's amazing how important that becomes, with a little perspective.

Netpulse Inc., which provides personalized interactive media for fitness centers, has acquired Virtual Active, a media company that produces exercise-focused, virtual reality products, the two San Francisco-based companies announced today.
As part of the acquisition, the entire Virtual Active team will join Netpulse. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
With the acquisition, Netpulse expands its platform, which provides consumers worldwide with engaging content and data on their fitness experience. Netpulse has partnerships with seven commercial fitness equipment manufacturers to provide this data on their equipment. In addition, the Netpulse platform is available to consumers outside health clubs via mobile devices and home fitness products.
The Virtual Active team films and produces high-definition runs and rides through famous locations around the world. Shot from a first-person perspective, the films transport exercisers to trails and paths in destinations such as the Swiss Alps, Northern Italy, the Black Forest, the Rocky Mountains, and cityscapes such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Berlin and Venice. Soon, exercisers will be able to experience renowned events such as classic cycling races and famous marathons around the world.
"Virtual Active's engaging content and propriety methods combined with Netpulse's patented technology creates an incredibly powerful platform that provides tremendous benefits to our OEM partners, health clubs and exercisers," Netpulse CEO and co-founder Bryan Arp said in a release. "With the Virtual Active acquisition, 2012 is going to be an explosive year of growth for us as we integrate sponsored events, social competitions, and other 'gamification' elements into our interactive media solution."
John Ford, president and founder of Virtual Active, said, "The broad distribution of the Netpulse platform means even more exercisers will experience the unique Virtual Active content, allowing us to do more with it than ever before."
With the acquisition, Virtual Active will become a division of Netpulse. And one of its first announcements as a division of the company is that Virtual Active has teamed with exergaming company BitGym to launch the Virtual Active experience on an app for iOS. Virtual Active App combines forward-motion video shot from a first-person perspective with BitGym's patented video speed interactivity technology, allowing users to move through the Virtual Active video based on the rate of their exercise on the fitness equipment.
To use the app, exercisers just place an iPad or iPhone on the fitness equipment and begin their workout without the need for special hardware or cables.
Each app download includes a free introductory video session and the ability to purchase complete sessions in famous locations from around the globe, including The Swiss Alps, Venice, the Pacific Northwest and the Grand Canyon. The app is available on iTunes and works with an iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

I have the following script:
#Import ArcPy site package
import arcpy
from arcpy import env
from arcpy import Raster
from arcpy.sa import ZonalStatistics
from arcpy.sa import CreateConstantRaster
# Set Environment Workspace
ws = env.workspace = "MY_WORKSPACE_PATH\\FGD.gdb"
# Set Environment Raster Cell Size
env.cellSize = 10
# Check out ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension license
# Get Parameters as Text
rasters = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0)
inputRasters = rasters.split(";")
inZoneData = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1)
zoneField = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(2)
# The constant raster = 0
addedRaster = CreateConstantRaster(0)
# Process each raster string
for raster in inputRasters:
addedRaster = addedRaster + Raster(ws + "\\" + raster)
# Execute Zonal Statistics
zoneStats = ZonalStatistics(inZoneData, zoneField, addedRaster, "MAXIMUM", "DATA")
# Save the output
zoneStats.save(ws + "\\" + NewTest_12102011")
I have imported the script as a script tool in ArcMap, my parameters are in the correct order and have the correct attributes (this script works when I have, for example, just two raster inputs as parameters). The input rasters are referenced as a String (this tool will eventually be used as a Geoprocessing Task, so I cannot use rasters a input directly). The problem I have is that when I open the tool, there is no way for me to input anything into the first parameter.
To provide some clarity: each value that could be entered into the parameter would be the name of a raster inside the geodatabase. For instance, say the user enters "rasterOne" and "rasterTwo". This would refer to MY_WORKSPACE_PATH\FGD.gdc\rasterOne and MY_WORKSPACE_PATH\FGD.gdc\rasterTwo, which are then cast to a Raster object with
Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

The last installment in the Ask da Nome a Kwestion or 20 Bhlogdey Kwestions special involves some heavy duty questions from the heavy duty Gnome Fire Mage follower (and Fire Mage himself), Prelimar and the heavy duty Locktess with the Mostess, Syrana.
I will start of with Prelimar's questions, then weave my way towards answering Syrana's… assuming I have the energy… owwww, OK, I will find the energy….
Prelimar asks:
Q) I'm a recently-minted 80, and I need to start getting geared for endgame stuff. Where do you recommend I go, and what sort of pieces should I be looking for?
A) WoLK Gear for new level 80 Mages
There are a few schools of thought on gearing your freshly minted level 80 Mage. There is certainly no reason to worry about gear before 80, you could get to 80 in your starting (level 1) gear if you really wanted to, in fact I would recommend you keep that level 1 gray gear if you can… But I will come to that.
Probably the big warning is that some of the < 80 quest and reputation rewards are BiS for the new level 80, so don't DE everything you pick up!
Same ol' Fireball
I'm not going to reinvent the fireball, instead I will point you towards a couple of references I found invaluable.
Miss Elf and her guides: Guide: Pre-Raid Mage Gear in Wrath and Guide: Mage Enchants & Gems in Wrath.
The one thing to consider, especially if you follow the next gearing strategy, is that much of the gear, particularly the reputation gear will be irrelevant before you reach the required rep levels, or manage to clear the heroic more than once.
Now there are two other ways to get gear "starting" gear. The 1st is a hitherto undocumented reputation grind, which I will cover later under the M&S Reputation tag. The 2nd is the M&S mates rates method.
M&S mates rates gearing
Otherwise known as 6 degrees of separation gearing, this is the most sensible and most likely efficient method.
Required: Mates, mates with/in guilds, guilds with mates and mates with mates.
Strategy: Preferably before 80, but at 80 is fine, start buttering up everyone you know and thier pets. Make sure you are in a good guild, preferably friendly, but most important is progressed.
Hit 80 and sign up for every raid. 25 man Ulduar hard mode is not out of the question. Just camp the guild raid roster and make sure you are the 1st to sign up.
All being well, you will be invited and before you know it, you will be sporting T8.5 along with your TBC greens. Soon you will be as well geared as many of your guildies and no one will question your presence… In fact they will be begging your attendance.
All being well you will pick up so many achievements in the 1st couple of weeks you will be able to proudly flash your achievements at those PuG raid LFM requests. They don't need to know you were dead on the floor within 5 seconds of entering combat!
I got lucky with this strategy when I was newly minted. I hadn't even equipped all my vendor/AH gear, let alone gemmed and enchanted it before I was invited by my guild to Naxx 25. Within 2 weeks I had seen more Naxx bosses in general, Naxx 25 specifically and gained more iLevel 213 than my mates that had been at level 80 for months!
All being well you can skip Naxx and romp through Ulduar these days!
Q) Along the same lines,I also need to start grinding rep. besides the Sons of Hodir, who else should Igrind rep with? I'm definitely working on the oracles in sholazar basin, because I want a chance at the green proto-drake. Any others?
A) WoLK Reputation for mages
There area few reputation grinds that are important for you as a Mage. Some are practical and give gear or enhancements, others are important for the novelty value. Some people rightly rate novelty higher than practicality, we are Mages after all, thus more of a novelty than anything else.
Remember to equip your Reputation tabard of choice when hitting the heroics!
Practical: a weapon you will quickly replace, essential head enchants you may only get to use once or twice depending on raid progression and RNG – but they aren't the sort of thing you can ignore.
Novelty: Spell enhancements, pay money to get new icons!
While Kirin'Tor should be a high priority, there is something to consider… You may be better off focusing on other rep gains. The Cooking and Fishing Dailies both award Kirin'Tor rep… and you will be doing those forever. I rushed my Kirin'Tor Rep, and now wonder why…
Wyrmrest Accord
Practical: Belt and boots. Both of which you will probably quickly replace. But if you are doing the plethora of dailies, this will come pretty quickly.
Novelty: Drake… Like there aren't enough of them in the game.
Sons of Hodir
What a royal PITA!
There is only one reason to do these guys and that's for the spell thread for your shoulders. In reality, the TBC Aldor/Scryer ones are just as good until you hit exalted. Even the Wintergrasp ones will do fine if you can't be stuffed.
Ultimately you will feel the need to get a little bit more spellpower and this will be your only option, so here's some tips:
- You need to do about 17 quests in three chains before you can start earning rep with these guys.
- Once you can, you only get a couple of dailies per reputation level, so get up the early levels of reputation, so rather than 2 dailies, you have 6.
- If you are enjoying the grind (more power to you) go for it. However I would recommend you at least buy your way to Revered immediately so you get the full set of dailies.
- Hound the AH and your mates for the rep turn ins. Don't waste your life, unless you are really, really enjoying doing the dailies. Do you really have a month of dailies to get the rep?
Oracles etc
Pure novelty… Go for it, but be prepared to be frustrated with the RNG. Revel in every worthwhile egg you hatch. I haven't even bothered, I am too busy shouftying raid spots.
The Kalu'ak
Practical: There is a cloak available at early levels, and the fishing rod is awesome. Not for fishing, who cares about that! No you want it for the underwater breathing!
Novelty: Penguin…
M&S reputation
Ultimately no ingame reputation matters as much as the one without a reputation bar. You need to be known in your guild and on your server.
While at 1st thought a good reputation would seem the best, a bad one is just as good, and is much easier to obtain.
Avoid ninja, magetard and thief reputation wherever possible, but ultimately as long as your name rings a bell, you will get plucked from LFG long before better skilled and geared characters.
Your name will live on long after your deeds are forgotten!
So troll the forums as your main. If you are trolling, you must be uber. Spam /trade and /general as much as possible. Be sure to blow your own trumpet. Link your Ulduar achievements that you earned through M&S mates rates raiding.
One thing to be very careful of, is to never display your real lackluster gear. This is where your starting gear comes in. If you don't have that, pick up either:
- A set of RP gear. If you look good, you must be good!
- A terribad set of gear. As a Mage you would be looking for Agility, Spirit and Strength gear
Well you are smart enough to troll on your level 80… but you are also smart enough to be hiding your gear. They can' troll you back for having less that BiS gear, when all you have is level 1 grays! That will stuff them, you will become a legend immediately!
Q) Any other things I should be doing as a new level 80? I've never been into PvP or battlegrounds, but I'd be willing to learn if I knew where to start, so if you are going to recommend something, consider me a total noob…
Never should do anything! (Proper Grammar and all)
Just do what you want… whatever tickles your fancy… Have fun in your own way!
If you really want to do a bit of controlled PvP, then battlegrounds are a great way to learn the ropes of dying and running back into battle. Wintergrasp will probably be more rewarding, and perhaps a bit more forgiving. It really depends whether you really want to PvP, or just get a taste of it. One of the reasons Wintergrasp is so popular is that it is silly rewards for bugger all effort.
To get you started I would suggest either having a look through my old battleground guides, or just wait a little for the guides Wonzy is going to write… I dare say he will say it much better than I can.
Syrana asks:
Blog Day Gift – Questions!
Q) If you could pass your WoW legacy/torch to another when you "retire," who would you hand it off to?
A) A Gnew Gnome in da House?
Well, what a doozy of a question… one that I don't really have an answer for.
I guess the best answer would for me to power level Odin and get him to carry on my legacy… but I can't find the RL heirloom shoulders anywhere… and to be honest I m enjoying his leveling process too much. I don't want to wake up tomorrow an discover he is 18.
I guess I would hand it over to Prelimar… he has in the face of untold pressure to respec stuck with Fire… He may not be a Mage, but he's certainly got the big balls Fire!
We shall see his "weekend that was" post next week…
Q) If Syrana could enslave Gnomes, would you replace her imp?
A) I think you have us Gnomes confused with Goblins!
Goblins could easily step in an replace your Imp…
Gnomes, well, there could only be one role for a Warlock's Gnome companion…
Yep, we are hot, and funny, way too seductive… and we love to crack a whip!
Q) Do Gnomes really taste yucky?
A) Ask Rip!
Rip gave us the answer yesterday to this very question.
However, i would just like to point out for all you lovely Gnomettes, Night Elf Laaadddies, and Human Honeys, that we just rub sump oil into our skin to act as Horde Repellent (registered trademark). No need to fear, us Gnomes are quite partial to a bubble bath, and we scrub up good… so feel free to come on down (to our level) for all your loving needs!
Q) Have you ever tried to get Mrs. Gnomer to play WoW?
A) Next Question…
Yes, many times. She has even suggested that she is willing but:
- We only have one PC, and can't afford a 2nd, or a second set of software and subscription.
- She fears that if she was to start playing, she wouldn't stop… Odin and house would be neglected. Admittedly if it wasn't for her the house would be neglected… Odin can look after himself… we are toilet training him now, and he can make PlayDough hamburgers…
- If she was to play, I wouldn't be… and that's my greatest fear!
I have actually assisted her in rolling one character… but her attention had already waned before we left the character creation screen. Give her Spider Solitaire, and she can play for hours, give her character creation and it's snores before the faction has even been selected.
To be honest, I fear things would turn out as they have for Rhii. She probably wouldn't want me to play with her… but if I didn't, I would be the worst husband on earth again still.
Q) Are you a one game kinda Gnome?
A) I'm a one everything kinda Gnome!
- One Spec
- One Button
- One Name
- One Haircut
But as for games, yeah I play WoW and that's about it. Even at LAN parties with my mates, more often than not I commit myself to WoW.
I don't even possess a console type game.. I joke with my workmates that if I won one at our monthly raffle, I would have to trade it in for something for my wife… because there aren't any power points in the gutter for me to connect it too!
Still… I do sneak in the odd game on my iPhone… iMob, iVampire, iKnights and Crazy Penguin Catapult 2 FREE are my current addictions… although they are more to satisfy my gamers twitch than for any real enjoyment…
Closing the door on the behind the scenes Gnomeaggedon
Well, that' it folks… my secrets all reveal, my wisdom laid out for all to read.
I hope you got as much joy out of reading the questions and answers as I did in reading the questions and writing the answers!
If anyone has better, or alternate answers for Prelimar's gear, Rep and time consumption questions… please tell!
For now…
Gnomer's Friends and Out!

Nerve Signals
The nerve signal, or action potential, is a coordinated movement of sodium and potassium ions across the nerve cell membrane. Here's how it works:
- As we discussed, the inside of the cell is slightly negatively charged (resting membrane potential of -70 to -80 mV).
- A disturbance (mechanical, electrical, or sometimes chemical) causes a few sodium channels in a small portion of the membrane to open.
- Sodium ions enter the cell through the open sodium channels. The positive charge that they carry makes the inside of the cell slightly less negative (depolarizes the cell).
- When the depolarization reaches a certain threshold value, many more sodium channels in that area open. More sodium flows in and triggers an action potential. The inflow of sodium ions reverses the membrane potential in that area (making it positive inside and negative outside -- the electrical potential goes to about +40 mV inside)
- When the electrical potential reaches +40 mV inside (about 1 millisecond later), the sodium channels shut down and let no more sodium ions inside (sodium inactivation).
- The developing positive membrane potential causes potassium channels to open.
- Potassium ions leave the cell through the open potassium channels. The outward movement of positive potassium ions makes the inside of the membrane more negative and returns the membrane toward the resting membrane potential (repolarizes the cell).
- When the membrane potential returns to the resting value, the potassium channels shut down and potassium ions can no longer leave the cell.
- The membrane potential slightly overshoots the resting potential, which is corrected by the sodium-potassium pump, which restores the normal ion balance across the membrane and returns the membrane potential to its resting level.
- Now, this sequence of events occurs in a local area of the membrane. But these changes get passed on to the next area of membrane, then to the next area, and so on down the entire length of the axon. Thus, the action potential (nerve impulse or nerve signal) gets transmitted (propagated) down the nerve cell.
There are a few things to note about the propagation of the action potential.
When an area has been depolarized and repolarized and the action potential has moved on to the next area, there is a short period of time before that first area can be depolarized again (refractory period). This refractory period prevents the action potential from moving backward and keeps everything moving in one direction.
- The action potential is an "all-or-none" response. Once the membrane reaches a threshold, it will depolarize to +40 mV. In other words, once the ionic events are set in motion, they will continue until the end.
- These ionic events occur in many excitable cells besides neurons (like muscle cells).
- Action potentials are propagated rapidly. Typical neurons conduct at 10 to 100 meters per second. Conduction speed varies with the diameter of the axon (larger = faster) and the presence of myelin (myelinated = faster). The rapid nerve conductions throughout the neural circuitry enable you to respond to stimuli in fractions of a second.
- The channels can be poisoned and prevented from opening. Various toxins (puffer fish toxin, snake venom, scorpion venom) can prevent specific channels from opening and distort the action potential or prevent it from happening altogether. Similarly, many local anesthetics (e.g. lidocaine, novocaine, benzocaine) can prevent action potentials from being propagated in the nerve cells in an area and temporarily prevent you from feeling pain.
- The propagation of the action potential is also sensitive to temperature in experimental settings. Colder temperatures slow down the action potential, but this usually doesn't happen in an individual. However, you can use cold-block techniques to temporarily anesthetize an area (like putting ice on an injured finger).
So, if the size of the action potential does not vary, how does an action potential code information? Information is encoded by the frequency of action potentials, much like FM radio. A small stimulus will initiate a low frequency train of a few action potentials. As the intensity of the stimulus increases, so does the frequency of action potentials.
On the next page, we'll learn about how nerves communicate with each other.

After posting a database tools list yesterday, I found that there were things that I had forgotten and a couple of things that i hadn't even considered. In thinking about this, I found myself trying to find a script that I knew I had seen and that I wanted to put on the list.
Trying to find the script got me a bit out of sorts. I knew I could probably find it on my share at work with my scripts (which reminds me that I really need to get a dropbox or put them all on a thumbdrive to keep with me). But, I wasn't at work and wanted to locate this cool script that I knew was recommended by another prominent person (more about that later). So I pulled out my googlefu.
I tried searching the web for this blog that had the script and tried several combinations of the key words I knew would help me find it. In doing this search, I came across a few blogs that had created a list of tools that database professionals should check out. Here is a short list of the blogs I found.
- Aaron Bertrand (Oct 2010) – Aaron references the post by Dave and Mladen
- Dave Ballantyne (Oct 2010)
- Mladen Prajdic (Nov 2007)
- Ami Levin (Feb 2011) – Ami adds a few items to Aaron's list
All of these lists are great compilations. I also found one more list, but found that it was just a copy of Aaron's list. This was extremely disappointing. Just reference the list or come up with a list of your own. A SQL Server MVP should never have to copy content from another MVP. It's not even that the list is the same – it was a copy of the entire post by Aaron. I personally hold MVPs to a higher standard and find it disappointing and aggravating when one is copying content and is esteemed as a person who has contributed much to the community.
None of these lists had what I the item for which I was looking. The item that I wanted was a script that Brent Ozar (blog) had given high compliments to a few months back. It was a script that, he said "a script that's like my Blitz server takeover script, but even more advanced. Love it!" Too bad I couldn't remember the person, script or wording he used when I was trying to find the script. Better yet, the page with the reference popped up several times in my searches. Well, needless to say, I pinged the community and Brent on twitter and Brent came through. Here are a few more items to add to the list of tools you should have or try.
- 60 Minute Blitz Script (Brent Ozar) – check it out. It will be worth your time. If you looked at the other lists you will also see that this script is there and highly recommended.
- Diagnostic Information Queries (Glenn Berry) – this was the script I was trying to find. This is the script that Brent has given high praise – give it a look.
- sp_whoisactive (Adam Mechanic) – Newest version as of this post is 10.76 and is listed as a beta version.
- SSMS ToolsPack (Mladen Prajdic)
So there you have it. Between my two lists and these other great lists – you should have a great toolbox.

VANCOUVER - A B.C. Supreme Court judge sentenced two members of the Greeks gang to life in prison without parole for 25 years Thursday for the ruthless, brutal murders of two Vernon men.
Justice Bill Smart said Dale Sipes and Leslie Podolski showed a "complete and utter disregard for human life" when they both participated in the torture and slaying of Dave Marnuik in the summer of 2004 and when Sipes executed Ron Thom 10 months later.
"The victims of gang violence are often those involved in the illicit drug business," Smart said in a high-security Vancouver courtroom.
"Mr. Marnuik was such a person. He was a mature man with a serious addiction to drugs. This addiction cost him his life."
Marnuik breached gang rules by stealing drugs and taking off with the dial-a-dope phone, leading Greeks enforcers to grab him, take him to their clubhouse and beat him with a baseball bat, hammer and blow torch.
"Mr. Sipes and Mr. Podolski had their way with Mr. Marnuik while he was duct-taped to a chair, helpless and defenceless. Mr. Sipes and Mr. Podolski did so in a way that was brutal and sadistic, including Mr. Sipes assaulting Mr. Marnuik with a blowtorch," Smart said.
They also helped dispose of Marnuik's body by burning it in the hills near Enderby.
"It was a final act of callousness that left Mr. Marnuik's family without any trace of his existence," Smart said.
He said the execution of Ron Thom on May 31, 2005 was "mercifully quicker than Mr. Marnuik's, but no less chilling."
Thom, who the gang mistakenly believed had cooperated with police, was lured to a road near Vernon in the middle of the night and shot to death.
"Sipes walked up to Mr. Thom as he lay dead or dying on Commonage Road and shot him twice in the face to ensure his death," Smart said. "Like Mr. Marnuik, he had no way of defending himself."
Senior prosecutor Peter Favell read one line from a short victim impact statement provided by Marnuik's sister.
"I feel sick when I think about the pain my brother must have endured as his life was taken from him in this brutal act of violence," the statement said.
Favell said the vicious crimes "will have a permanent physical and mental adverse impact on the Marnuik family as they move forward."
He said Thom's family had declined to provide a victim impact statement to the court.
Sipes, Podolski, Greeks boss Peter Manolakos and enforcer Sheldon O'Donnell were all convicted by a jury of first-degree murder Sunday. Greeks associate Douglas Brownell was convicted of manslaughter in the Thom's slaying, as well as the beating death of Thomas Edward Bryce in November 2004.
O'Donnell will be sentenced Dec. 12, while Manolakos and Brownell will have their hearings sometime in January.
Smart began his remarks by praising the police and Crown for taking on the violent drug gang that terrorized the north Okanagan for years.
He said when Thom's bullet-ridden body was left on Commonage Road, it was "to send a message to others involved in the illegal drug subculture."
"However the brazen public display of Mr. Thom's body was also a challenge to the police and the administration of justice — a challenge that the Greeks could murder with impunity," he said.
"In my view, the citizens in this province can take pride in how that challenge was responded to."
He said the RCMP investigators broke down "the wall of silence that usually protects those involved in criminal gangs."
"The police were able to gather sufficient evidence by May of 2006 to arrest and charge the senior members of the Greeks and effectively shut down the gang's operations," he said.
He thanked Crown prosecutors for "fairly and forcefully" presenting their case over the record long proceedings and defence lawyers for vigorously defending the five killers.
Neither Sipes nor Podolski addressed the court. Sipes, wearing a blue dress shirt, sat up rigidly and showed no emotion. Podolski in a grey jacket, leaned forward looking solemn.
Outside court, Sipes's lawyer Matthew Nathanson said he is already working on an appeal.

Waffle House
After spending the last three days in Brussels, it isn't a stretch to say I have waffles on the brain. Frites and moules, too, of course, but mainly waffles. I mean, if you can't get a good waffle in Belgium, where can you find one?
Well, after further consideration of that question, there are two answers that pop into my head. Major League Baseball and American politics. Let's start with politics.
Of course we all remember the 2004 election and John Kerry's famous non-answers that led to his being described as a waffler. I'm no fan of George Bush but right or wrong or just plain misguided, at least the guy could give you an answer. Kerry was so far inside his own head he practically turned inside out.
And even more recently, Joe Lieberman seems to have taken up the mantle with his seeming indecision on the necessity of a "public option" in the health care bill. Despite proposing a de facto public option in the past, he said he couldn't vote for the bill this time around with the plan in it. Of course he attempted to parse his words in true Clintonian fashion but at the end of the day we all saw him for what he was. A waffler.
Those two guys don't have anything on Bud Selig, though. He has been getting away with murder on his watch. Like a modern-day Nero, he's fiddling (or waffling) as MLB is burning. The whole PED debate? It never should have been a debate. If MLB under Selig's not-so-watchful eye had simply instituted a testing program similar to what other pro sports were doing, there's no way that guys like Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa would have ever gotten away with their shenanigans. And more than that, we wouldn't have to argue about the inclusion of asterisks in the record book.
Here's what it all comes down to. Waffles may be delicious, especially when topped with whipped cream, strawberries and hot chocolate sauce, but they aren't so great when they affect our lives and the things we care about. I'm pretty sure even a Belgian could agree to that.

When the Bay Area's techie-elite got richer yesterday, its poor refused to get poorer.
San Francisco-based technology company Twitter went public. By the time the New York Stock Exchange closed yesterday, more than 13 million shares of the online social networking and microblogging company had been traded, bringing Twitter's value up to $31 billion.
But there are serious doubts those riches will make it out of the company's office at 1355 Market St., as expressed by the nearly 100 local workers and residents who gathered outside the Mid-Market office building to express their outrage at this possibility.
The rally was organized by a coalition of activist groups including South of Market Community Action Network (SOMCAN), Senior and Disability Action, Eviction Free San Francisco, and the San Francisco Housing Rights Committee. At noon, the protestors held a press conference to articulate their concerns.
"We are here today to ask Twitter, 'What is their public offering to San Francisco?'" organizer Angelica Cabande from SOMCAN said as she opened the press conference.
It is a reasonable question, considering Twitter's relationship with the city in recent years. When the company threatened to relocate to Brisbane in the spring of 2011, Mayor Ed Lee and the Board of Supervisors approved the Central Market/Tenderloin Payroll Expense Tax Exclusion—or the "Twitter Tax Break" as it came to be called. The tax incentive offered companies that moved to the neighborhood a six-year break from paying the city's 1.5 percent payroll tax for all employees hired after the move. It was estimated that it would save Twitter $22 million in corporate taxes, lost city revenue that could have been used to fund things like public transportation, education, health, safety and social services. So, the only moving the company did was to Market.
"We have Twitter on a tax-free perch," organizer Tony Robles from Senior and Disability Action explained, "not engaged in the community they've set up shop in. It's like a virtual thing—they're here, but they're not here."
It was recently discovered that the Twitter Tax Break might have actually cost the city as much as $56 million, when you add in the city's decision to stop taxing stock options shortly after its based the Mid-Market tax break. This news and Twitter's coinciding decision to go public have incensed much of the public.
"Can you imagine a company with all that money getting welfare from San Francisco?" exclaimed speaker Tommi Avicolli Mecca from the SF Housing Rights Committee.
The various speakers at the press conference all voiced the same demand—that Twitter be here if it's going to be here, by reinvesting some of its profits into San Francisco and its communities. Many went on to link Twitter's presence to the recent rash of evictions and the escalating affordable housing crisis in the city.
"We know why the evictions are happening a few blocks from here," Avicolli Mecca announced, referencing the impending eviction of all 60 tenants from the 1049 Market Street building. "Because companies like this are moving in."
Twitter's decision to relocate to the Mid-Market area, with its abundance of liquor stores and dilapidated hotels, might have seemed questionable at first. However, 15 other technology companies have followed its lead since, to occupy a total of 1.3 million square feet of commercial office space in the neighborhood. The tech industry's continued demand for office space has grown so great that owners of residential buildings like 1049 Market are converting their properties to meet this need. As tech companies flood the area, the well-paid employees they bring with them are also creating a new market for housing that is attracting real estate developers to the neighborhood and instigating more evictions.
"Evictions are up 81 percent this year in this neighborhood alone, and it's because of this company," surmised Erin McElroy from Eviction Free San Francisco. "Twitter, the tech industry, gentrification—they're all connected."
"I have been living here in SOMA for over 40 years," stated speaker Teresa Dulalas, who is being evicted from her home of 30 years. "I have never seen such a massive displacement of residents until now. Twitter, I want you to hear this—we are victims because of you!" she screamed up at the office floors above the crowd's heads.
The protest continued at the Central Market/Tenderloin Citizen's Advisory Committee meeting that evening. As Robles informed us, they will not rest until city officials and tech companies recognize the negative effects of their presence in San Francisco and take actions to constrain and correct them. Until then, people like Teresa are not safe in this city.
Meanwhile, the remaining shares of Twitter went onto the stock exchange today. And when Twitter's valuation is way up, its stock has fallen since it opening at $45.10, closing the day at $44.90 and now standing at $42.30 at this story is being posted at 11:15am PT.

Fire that led to fertilizer blast began in storehouse
- More than 60 investigators involved with query
- Firefighters answering initial blaze did not cause explosion%2C investigators say
- Fire began in same building as ammonium nitrate
The fire that triggered the massive explosion at a West, Tex., fertilizer depot last month started in a building that held the company's seed and fertilizer, according to a lead investigator into the tragic blast.
The building contained the company's store of ammonium nitrate – the volatile compound used in fertilizer and explosives – and was completely destroyed in the blast, Brian Hoback, national response team supervisor for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said in an interview with USA TODAY. The bureau is leading the investigation along with the Texas State Fire Marshal's Office.
The Apr. 17 explosion at the West Fertilizer Co., killed 14 people, including 10 firefighters, injured more than 200 and destroyed dozens of homes as it decimated a five-block radius.
The fire that led to the explosion started inside the storage building but not exactly at the spot where the ammonium nitrate was stored, Hoback said.
The fire eventually reached the ammonium nitrate, which fueled the explosion, leaving behind a 93-foot-wide charred crater where the building once stood, he said. Investigators are now zeroing in on the crater, sifting through ashes and debris by hand for clues to what may have caused the initial fire.
"You have a building where fertilizer and seed are stored in there," Hoback said. "The fire was contained to that one building."
For the past two weeks, more than 60 agents from 29 agencies have run down 237 leads and interviewed more than 411 people during the query, said Kelly Kistner, assistant State Fire Marshal. Agents began searching the outermost perimeter of the blast, collecting debris from as far as 2-1/2 miles away, and meticulously worked their way toward the center, he said.
Investigators don't yet have a precise cause of the fire that triggered the explosion, but have ruled out several things, including natural events – such as lightning strikes – and stores of anhydrous ammonia, Kistner said.
Investigators also say nothing the firefighters did responding to the initial blaze caused the explosion, he said. A possible electrical fire or foul play have not been ruled out, Hoback said. Agents are also still looking into reports that a fire had started at the fertilizer depot earlier on the day of the explosion and was extinguished by workers, he said.
The agencies hope to wrap up the initial phase of the investigation in another week or two, Hoback said. Sifting through the evidence has been tedious and challenging given the explosion's massive blast perimeter.
"Some of the pieces of the puzzle were completely destroyed," he said. "Some were blown as far as 3,000 feet away."
Testimony from surviving firefighters who rushed to the initial blaze has been "very helpful" in piecing together what happened the evening of Apr. 17, Kistner said.
The mostly-volunteer firefighters were aware of the explosive potential of the ammonium nitrate in the building and were retreating from the property when the blast struck, West Mayor Tommy Muska said. "They knew what the situation was," he said.
Shortly after the blast, explosion experts pointed to the large quantity of ammonium nitrate stored at the site as the likely cause of the explosion. Hoback confirmed that ammonium nitrate – a white, crystalline substance used to reinvigorate fields – caused the explosion, but his teams are still trying to determine exactly how much was on the property when it blew.
The company had 270 tons of ammonium nitrate on site – or more than 100 times the amount used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing – as of last year, according to state records.

Please note:
This may be available in the quantity you desire even if it tells you there is insufficient stock, even if it reports the available stock as 0. This is because they are both one at a time and 5 at a time and so simply the entire inventory is not counted in this one listing, but rather only a portion is allocated to it. If for example we have 100 of them and we sell them 5 at a time for one price as well as one at a time for a different price, we wouldn't want to list them as 20 sets of 5 and 100 individual units available, because then it would be possible for customers to purchase 200 of them. It would also completely ruin any hope of bookkeeping because if say, 6 sets of 5 and 18 individual units were sold, one listing would say there are 70 available, 5 at a time, and the other would say there are 82 available, one at a time, or 153 total, while in fact there would be 53 available, and what's worse, from the quantities shown, 70 and 82, there would be no way of reconstructing the number 100, the number the inventory count is off by, so we'd have to count them again! This way the website actually accurately keeps track of how many there are. If you encounter an "insufficient stock" warning on your shopping cart, you can figure out how many there are actually available yourself by adding together how many are available in each quantity. So if it is listed as 50 units and 10 sets of 5 available, that's 100, and you can very well order 100 then, even though it will tell you the stock is insufficient if you try to order anything more than 50 either way. If you do see an "insufficient stock" message, to see how many are actually in stock, please add together how many are available in each quantity (and remember that a quantity of 5 at 5 at a time is not 5, it's 25). The website will allow the order to be processed even in the event of such a warning for that reason. If there genuinely is insufficient stock, we will not charge your card but will contact you for further instructions.
