Feds Say Denton Doctor Disciplined For Sexually Harrassing Patients Now Running a Pill Mill
In 2008, Denton police began fielding reports from women who complained that their physician, Dr. Ramon Cruz, was overstepping professional boundaries. One claimed Cruz had put his hand down the front of her pajama pants. Another alleged he had grabbed her from behind and put his hand under her shirt.
None of the four reported incidents resulted in criminal charges, but they did prompt a disciplinary panel of the Texas Medical Board to suspend his license on March 14, 2011, after determining that Cruz posed a "continuing threat to public welfare." Cruz told WFAA at the time that his accusers were mad that he decided to stop treating them.
The suspension lasted less than a month. On April 8, TMB agreed to lift the suspension provided that Cruz underwent a psychiatric evaluation, received professional boundaries training and agreed to see only male patients. The board changed its order somewhat in November 2011 when Cruz, after admitting to the TMB that he had "crossed the line" with one patient in 2008, agreed to obtain a mentoring physician and have his practice temporarily monitored.
It was the month before he signed the last order that Generx, a Carrollton-based pharmacy owned by husband and wife Linus and Dorothy Nwosu, saw business boom, particularly among cash-paying customers. Whereas cash sales in previous months had hovered around $16,000, they quadrupled in October to more than $67,000 and stayed high over the next several months. The same thing happened at Generx's Irving location.

The reason for the pharmacy's new-found success was simple, according to an IRS criminal investigator's affidavit: Cruz was running a pill mill, and he was using the Nwosus to fill the hydrocodone and Alprazolam prescriptions his office wrote. Over the course of about four months, Generx's two locations filled 3,003 prescriptions from Cruz's patients.
The affidavit was filed in federal court as part of the IRS' attempt to seize $476,190.01 from the Nwosus' bank accounts. The agency says the money represents proceeds from their participation in Cruz's pill mill business and that they have concealed it to avoid paying taxes.
Messages have been left for both Cruz and the Nwosus' attorney.

Box Score (PDF)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -Considering the Penn men's basketball team overcame a slow start to win Friday night at Dartmouth, perhaps it is understandable that the Quakers did not learn the proper lesson: Slow starts are bad.
The players might be closer tograsping that lesson after Saturday night. At Harvard's Lavietes Pavilion, the Crimson jumped out to a 12-2 lead before the game was less than three minutes old, and that was pretty much it. Penn made the sellout crowd nervous on a few occasions, but could not overcome that opening deficit and fell 80-66.
With the loss the Quakers fell to 2-2 in the Ivy League, splitting each of their first tworoad weekends. Pennis now3-15 overall. Harvard improved to 4-2 in Ivy play and 15-5 overall.
Harvard made some changes to its starting lineup afterits 56-53 loss to Princeton Friday night, and the changes made a difference. The teams traded points to start the game, but the Crimson's Brandyn Curry was the catalyst to a 10-point run that gave his team all the cushion they would need.
Harvard's lead was still 16 points before Penn had even reached double digits on the scoreboard, at 25-9, and the Quakers struggled to get back within single digits. However, that happened just before halftime, and the teams went into the break with the Crimson up 41-32 thanks to Rob Belcore's jumper just before the buzzer. Penn then scored the first three points of the second stanza when Belcore fed Monckon for a backdoor feed that Monckton converted with a foul.
Harvard responded with the game's next seven points, though, and once again Penn was climbing uphill. The Crimson's lead crested at 17 with nine minutes to play, but the Quakers had another run in them. Getting to the foul line, the Quakers knocked down six free throws and the punctuated the unanswered run with a three-pointer from Dan Monckton. That made the score 62-54, and you could sense unease in the Harvard crowd. The angst intensified when the Crimson's Doug Miller missed in the lane, and Zack Rosen again drew a foul and hit both shots. That made the score 62-56 with just under five minutes remaining.
Enter Christian Webster and Oliver McNally. The Harvard duo knocked down three-point shots on four possessions over a two-minute span, and all Penn could offer as a counterpunch was an Eggleston foul shot. That made the score 74-59 with two minutes to go and essentially ended the contest.
Rosen and Monckton scored 19 points apiece to lead the Quakers, and Monckton also led Penn with eight rebounds. Jack Eggleston scored 13 points, and Justin Reilly had his second straight effective night off the bench with nine points.
Harvard had a balanced attack, with four players scoring in double figures and two others adding nine apiece. Jeremy Lin had 19 to lead the way, while McNally added 14-- going 4-of-5 from beyond the arc-- and Kyle Casey produced 13.
Penn is finally home for Ivy League play next weekend, hosting frontrunner Cornell Friday and Columbia Saturday. Both games are slated for 7 p.m. at The Palestra.
Penn Game Notes: Penn went 20-of-23 from the foul line, the ninth time in the last 10 games the Quakers shot at least 75 percent from the charity stripe in a contest ... In the last three games, Penn has gone 46 of 53 (86.8 percent) at the foul line ... Penn had Ivy League highs in field goals made (20) and three-pointers made (6) ... Junior Dan Monckton had career highs with 19 points and eight rebounds ... Monckton has scored in double figures in three of the last four and five of the last eight games ... Sophomore Zack Rosen tied Monckton with 19 points, the fourth straight game and 15th time in 17 contests he has scored in double figures ... Rosen is averaging 17.0 points over the last four games, and 17.9 points over the last 16 contests ... Junior Jack Eggleston scored 13 points, his 13th double-figure scoring game and the fourth time in the last five contests he has done it ... Eggleston tied a career best with two blocked shots ... Eggleston played all 40 minutes, and has been on the floor for every second of Ivy League action Penn has played this year ... Senior Justin Reilly had nine points, his best scoring output since he had a career-high 15 against Yale on Feb. 16, 2008 ... Reilly scored 17 points on the weekend, after scoring 17 in his first eight appearances combined this season.

A Synod is a meeting of several high-ranking Sabbat authorities to clarify an interpretation of the sect's doctrine, in order to avoid exploitations by heretics and infernalists
At a synod, significant changes to Sabbat doctrine can occur: additions or alterations to the Auctoritas Ritae, Blood Baths for members of the Consistory, or the founding of a Black Cathedral. Synods are called on rare occasion to solve a major internal issue or clarify the Sect's religious beliefs.
Known SynodsEdit
- Synod of Orphans, the first Synod that established the Auctoritas Ritae
- Synod of Hounds, the most recent Synod that debates modern changes like the fusion of the High Holidays in one Ritae

- My theory on why RE6 will not be a reboot
Oldskool_Rulez 6 years ago#1
So, would Capcom really reboot the series the same time they are continuing it? Remember, when Capcom stated RE6 would be a reboot, that was Jun Takeuchi who said that. Now he's gone and has nothing to do with the sequel, so hopefully Shinji Mikami will return and keep the series going a bit longer.
With the Devil May Cry reboot announced, I really don't think Capcom would reboot two of their series in the same year, but who knows.
My new Resident Evil prediction: HUNK is Alex Wesker, who's also a clone of Chris Redfield.
Shinji better not come back unless he realizes what RE's actually supposed to be like.
And reboot doesn't mean remake. You can continue the story while doing a reboot.

"And reboot doesn't mean remake. You can continue the story while doing a reboot."
Wait, are you sure it's not the other way around? REmake included new story details left out in the original, so in a way it continued the story. When I hear "reboot", I think of 007, Halloween, and mainly just movies in general. Come to think of it, has there even been a video game reboot yet? The only game I can think of is Bionic Commando, and I don't know if that game even is a reboot or continuation.
My new Resident Evil prediction: HUNK is Alex Wesker, who's also a clone of Chris Redfield.
Oldskool_Rulez (Topic Creator)6 years ago#4
Well, you're right. Just because it's a reboot doesn't mean it won't continue the story. I just remembered Mortal Kombat. Even though it spans the first 3 games, it takes place AFTER Armageddon.
My new Resident Evil prediction: HUNK is Alex Wesker, who's also a clone of Chris Redfield.
When they mentioned the reboot they were talking about the gameplay. They said that RE5 is the last of its kind.
Anyway I doubt it'll happen soon, no RE news at TGS so I really don't know where and when they're planning to announce RE6 as it was supposed to happen soon....
"Official Jill Valentine of the MvC3 boards!"
Trent_Reston 6 years ago#6
Actually we don't know what they mean by reboot but I assume it's not a remake and just a new beginning.
Frankly, I think they mean they may be going back to a combination of two different camera/control style, sorta like what you had in Lost in Nightmares during the first scenario.
A lot of the original fans are complaining that RE has lost it's way in terms of survival horror and frankly I concur with them, being a original fan.
RE4 was originally going to be the last of the series until Capcom told Shinji he could end the series with that game or give it a reboot. So he went the reboot treatment with the new control style and the sorta abysmal absence of anything relating to the old series besides a few characters, Leon and Ada, etc.
Frankly, Capcom has been getting it wrong since Code Veronica. And I mean, they said Code Veronica sales were not that good compared to RE2/RE3. Well that was because they released it on Dreamcast and then later ported it over to PS2 with a deluxe version but it still did not do too well. And then over the next year or so, we got spin off, side stories, until RE4.
RE4 I guess was needed to give a fresh start. Hell, Shinji invented the over the shoulder style camera. As a old fan, I love the control style and the atmosphere that RE4 was especially the castle but.... it just seemed to dumb down. Puzzles were way too simple, everything was "go from point A to point B" where the older games allowed you to explore around. You did not have the option to do that in RE4.
RE5 was just a carbon copy of RE4 with the same enemies, same concept, same controls, but with a much better story compared to RE4. It just lacked anything that was horror. And I think a lot of fans were upset with that.
Sadly, the fan base is going to be split down the middle. You have the original fans who love pre-rendered backgrounds, fixed cameras, and able to explore. And you have the RE4/RE5/RE on rail shooter fans who love the more direct approach, easier controls, and ability to see more of their surroundings.
Frankly, RE6, as we last heard, was supposed to go back to its roots, which means, pre rendered background. But Capcom is always changing it's directions with its games and in recent history, RE4 and RE5 proved this with their own history.
Frankly, you cannot do both. LIN was fun, going to the fixed camera style but the problem was, on VETERAN or PROFESSIONAL, when you faced those anchor things, it was impossible to hit them because you had to be direct (shoot them in the eye) to cause them to feel direct pain. And through fixed camera angles, it's hard to see where you're actually aiming.
... I don't know where they may be going with RE6 in terms of controls and camera. The more recent fans that started playing RE5 wanted "run and shoot" controls but I hope it never comes to that. If anything, Dead Space proved that survival horror still works and Capcom got humiliated when DS was highly praised compared to RE5.
If anything, I'd like some answers finally to some long lost questions. Barry and Rebecca status. What is the Organization and their agenda, which has been long since overdue since RE2 days, Leon and Ada's "relationship", Sherry Birkin's status, and the long awaited, Alex Wesker situation.
Most likely, Alex Wesker will be in RE6 since they introduced the whole background story in the DLC for RE5.
Errr, long rant, LOL.

BOCA RATON—Colton Orr is no Sidney Crosby. He'll ended up with fewer points in his NHL career than Crosby gets in a half-season, and he spends most of his important work time with his hockey gloves off, rather than on.
So the fact that Crosby was able to skate today as he recovers from concussion problems is the big news. But for Leafs fans, and fans of Orr and his fighting talents, there also appears to be positive news.
The Leafs enforcer has been working out hard for a couple of weeks and is apparently symptom free. He hasn't played since getting in a fight with Anaheim's George Parros on Jan. 20, but could return before the end of this season.
"Colton has been receiving the best medical care," said Leafs GM Brian Burke today.
"There are signs of progress, and it's not beyond the realm of possibility he could be cleared to play before the end of this season."
Orr's disappearance from the Leafs camp since he was apparently concussed by Parros has been something of a mystery.
He hasn't spoken publicly and the team has said little, possibly because there have been problems diagnosing his injury and symptoms.
According to NHL figures released today, eight per cent of all NHL concussions are caused by fights, up from two per cent last season.
Other heavyweights like Derek Boogaard and Raitis Ivanans—out since the first game of the NHL season—are currently sidelined with concussions from fights.

What our customers say...
-Mr Ralph - Gloucestershire
I know from my own business that usually people only write in when there is a problem but I should like to break the mould and say a big THANK YOU to Kev in the Parts Department for the quick and valuable service he provided to me. The little taxi is running great now.
-Martin - Lyme Bay Mobility
Thank you and your staff for your support of my business. It is a pleasure to deal with a company which goes the "extra mile" to assist a new business such as mine, and although things do not always run as planned, all your office and warehouse staff do their utmost to get me out of the predicaments I sometimes find myself in. They also provide an invaluable service of talking me through technical problems.
Furthermore I would like to thank the efforts which Dave Holder has made to ensure I can obtain the right stock without overloading me with 'special offers' which usually just gather dust and most recently his, and Elaine's support with the Honiton Show.

Super work my friend Very useful!!! wish you luck and many-many sales
Thanks a lot for your compliments pal
Do you offer installation ? Thank you
Hi looks great, just installed it and it is frozen on the INSTALL page, nothing happens and it says LOADING Can you help please ??
Thank you in advance!
Hi, I got your email also will have a look around… Thanks by the way.
Cool, thanks hoping to get this out this weekend !
Mailed you
do you have rtl support for this ?
also is there rss , xml site map an does it support utf-8 characters in posts and names etc ?
The system works with utf-8 languages. But for a RTL language, the alignment of the texts won't get Right to Left. And nope, it doesn't have a rss or site map.
But the coolest thing about it is that the HTML layout is 100% independent from the whole PHP part
in the Documentations we have clearly explained how to modify the HTML layout and add your own HTML pages to the system. It's actually a 30 seconds job! You yourself can easily add a site map page to the HTML pages, just like how we've added About and Contact pages… (of course we're also always available to answer to your questions or customize the system for you)
what I mean is auto update for RSS and sitemap. So there is a lot of programming that I can't do
Aha, so you mean, you like to receive the RSS feeds of the newest topics, etc… right? We didn't use RSS for the current version of forum, but still you can subscribe to your favorite topics and receive the new updates via email when there has been a new post.
Hi – just purchased and cannot install – have an error about birthdate cannot be null.
Urgently need help.
Anyone going to answer?????
Mailed you. thanks.
Many thanks all sorted
can I add buttons with links to the sign up page, i would like to add social media icons and email icons so that members can be redirect to lo gin with their social media accounts and or emails. I have a plugin that does it. Will this work can I add buttons with links to the sign up page is it customizeable?
You can edit the sign up page, but to connect the social medias to the system so that users can login with their social media, it needs code modifications a little bit. We should also look at your plugin to see if we can make use of it for the system and integrate it to the system as a custom work… If you like it, just contact us through our profile page. Thanks.
Ok what I want to do is add the social media icons to your sign up page. The icons will be links to trigger sign up or sign in. Know what I mean? I already have the plugin so when you go to the sign up page it already has the icons that you just click to trigger the sign up. I think the icons just have the links embedded in them to trigger the sign up.
Here is the plugin I am using its called "Social Login" – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-social-login/
And is this a theme or a plugin the Logn/Sign Up is at the top of the site. Will that be the same in my webite the Login/Sign Up at the top of the page, its kinda of hard to know where the Login/Sign up is at. Like if you were new visiting the site you wouldn't know where to sign up at. Would that be the same in my website if it installed this plugin? Is there a way to move the Login/Sign Up form somewhere else so that it can be seen or found easily?
Pre-sale question: Can this be integrated with a previously built user system? My website already has a member database and login with PHP, but looking to add simple forums without too much work to integrate.
Is your website a WordPress? If so, you might like to use this same system but its WordPress plugin and it can be integrated with your site's WordPress users. But when you install this php system, when new users like to post a new forum or answer/reply a question on a thread, they obviously need to sign up for the first time, just like any other forum systems…
Looks all great, bought it but the captcha isn't working so nobody can sign up
Please read the Documentation and requirements for the captcha code to work. thanks.
Very clean design, good luck with sales!

Dive Safari's along the coast line of Timor Leste are a special life experience - not suitable for everyone, yet a must-do for adventurous divers!
Our safari trips range from just one night beach camping experiences to K41 (41 km East of Dili) to 7-day trips stopping along the coast at some of the most remote, beautiful and deserted beaches you can imagine - finally stopping at Tutuala Beach and Jaco island.
Our safari's are conducted in all late model A/C 4wd's with all dive, camping and safety equipment packed either in the back, on the roof or in a small trailer. These trips are based around a camping experience so tents are the main accommodation, yet some people leave the tent and sleep in one of our mosquito-proof hammocks and look up at the stars while listening to the gentle sound of the ocean. Yet if tents are not you cup of tea then the same trip can be arranged but instead of sleeping on the beach we can stay in guest houses and hotels along the way ranging from western-style hotels, village guest houses to eco friendly grass huts.
The most appealing thing about a safari trip is we never sleep in the same destination twice! We are always on the move so you get to see the changing country side while diving a very large variety or reef systems, sometimes not even explored ever before!
Why not contact us now to start planning your safari adventure - seats are limited and groups are kept to small numbers.

Despite sloppy play, easy to see NFL talent in SEC showdown
It wasn't pretty for either team to start, but Florida was able to right the ship and defeat Tennessee in Gainesville, 31-17. Despite seven combined turnovers in the first half, several players stood out in this SEC showdown.
DT Dominique Easley, Florida – The senior is one of the most explosive defensive linemen in the country and continues to show it each week. Although his final stat line wasn't overly impressive (one tackle, zero sacks), Easley was consistently in the Tennessee backfield and forced early throws and overall disruption in the Volunteers' gameplan. He is routinely the first defensive lineman off the ball and uses his lateral quickness and body control to win gaps and angles to make him near impossible to square up for blockers. He doesn't have elite power for the position, but with his nonstop motor, Easley is a load to handle, whether he lines up inside or outside on the Gators' defensive line.
LT Antonio Richardson, Tennessee – There is no denying that he had his struggles today, especially against Florida's talented pass rusher Dante Fowler. But it's easy to see why Richardson is so highly thought of by many at the next level. He has an ideal frame and wingspan for the position with the set-up quickness that is above average for a 330+ pounder. Richardson needs to iron-out issues with his technique, balance and finishing toughness, but he's a very good mover for his size and has a lot of potential if he can continue to develop.
LB A.J. Johnson, Tennessee – A player who is consistently around the ball, Johnson led the SEC in tackles a year ago and is on pace to be one of the conference leaders again in 2013. He finished the Florida/Tennessee match-up with 10 tackles, his 14th career double-digit tackle performance at the college level. Johnson has only average range and isn't a special athlete, but he plays hard and fast on every snap, impressing with his high-effort mentality. He has strong hands and is a violent tackler who looks to strike through his target and leave his mark, something that was obvious on several occasions in this contest. While he isn't that elite-type of prospect, he is a physical, hard-nosed linebacker who leaves it all on the field.
Florida true sophomore defensive end Dante Fowler might have had the best performance of the game, but we'll have to wait another season until he's draft-eligible.

I got backstabbed by the girl I liked and someone I thought was a friend at school. I'm just tired of it, I've been bullied since 4th grade and its still happens today just in different ways. I was able to avoid school today but my mom just makes me go back everytime she knows I'm upset. I have no friends, and I can't focus in class because I get so close to tears hearing the other kids talk to their friends or their girlfriend. I can't change schools, I can't join any. clubs at school so what can I do? I don't wanna sit alone every evening doing homework while everyone else has fun.
Most Helpful Girl
That's a very sad story and I am sorry that you have going through this. Does the school or your family help at all? How did the girl backstab you?00|00|0
basically I met a new friend in my PE class and I told him about this girl I liked who I met a few weeks ago through a friend. I started getting to know her and for whatever reason I figured maybe she liked me even though she said she had a boyfriend because she kept making me walk her to class, hang out, etc. at one point she took my glasses one day when she was wearing a dress and heels, put them on and said she couldn't see so I had to hold her hand and help her up steps and stuff to get to class. anyways since Friday my so called friend kept telling me about how he works fast and how he had her number. I didn't think anything of it but all throughout the weekend he starts texting me all this shit saying he went to her house, she kissed him, and all this shit. listening to my mom I figured he was just lying but I get to school Monday morning and everything he said was true except the kissing, so he says.
- Show AllShow Less
Well, she and Noah deserve each other. Let them run off into the sunset together. You allowed her to humiliate you and you need to stand up for yourself more. You should say that it was just a bit of fun for you and that you just wanted to see how far you could get. Turn the tables. Wake up and start being smarter with things like this. When does school finish for you? College may be a chance to turn things around for you.
I'm a junior, that's why I've been upset lately. I don't wanna be popular or anything I just want a small group of friends and a girlfriend to bring places yet I have neither. I want a girlfriend though because I've always been bullied and I can remember kids saying no one will ever like me and I wanted to change that before I finished highschool. I'm a healthy, short young man I just don't know what to do now. they're are no other girls that I know that maybe I could start talking to.


text: After laying untouched for almost four years I decided it was time to reboot heagy.com. Since that time I've started a lot of personal projects (music & apps), and had a kid. I don't have a lot of time to keep things working, so I've decided to concentrate on what I want from the site:


text: |The UK government in summer of 2010 gave permission for new deepwater drilling of the Shetland Islands. [1] US energy giant Chevron welcomed the ruling and was the first in line for permission to explore two prospects, with BP following. The international organization Greenpeace blamed the government "irresponsible", pointing to the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, caused from reckless deep-water drilling. [2] Consequently Greenpeace started a new campaign of direct action using swimmers against a Chevron-chartered ship, Stena Carron, anchored in the Lerwick Harbour, tring to stop it to drill on the Lagavulin area prospect. On September 21, 2010, the campaigners, based on the Greenpeace protest ship Esperanza, attached the Stena Carron's anchors while it was moored in Bressay Sound: two expert climbers spent four days hanging off the ship Stena Carron. [3] One of them said: "Shetland is so beautiful and an oil spill here could devastate this area. It's time to go beyond oil. Our addiction is harming the climate, the natural world and our chances of building a clean energy future." [4] A Chevron spokesman said: "This kind of action is foolhardy and demonstrates that Greenpeace is willing to put its volunteers at risk to carry out such reckless publicity stunts and we are concerned for the safety of those involved." "Chevron's first priority is always safety; we are confident our operations are safe and we can drill deep water wells in the Atlantic Margin safely".[5] Therefore Chevron was granted an injunction at the Court of Session in Edinburgh ordering the campaigners to move on safety grounds. In fact the court immediately ordered Greenpeace to stop its protest on the grounds that it endangered the safety of the vessel and banned the activists from interfering with the vessel's progress. [6] Later, the environmental campaigners followed the huge vessel on her way to the Lagavulin prospect where their protest delayed the start of the exploration for several days.[7] At present, in a context in which the world pushes towards renewable energy, the industrial economy is likely to require a long-term, adequate supply of undersea oil only if it can be extracted cheaply. Chevron, for one, has postponed a big Scottish deepwater project called Rosebank, where the North Sea gives way to the North Atlantic just northwest of the Shetland Islands, judging it not feasible under current rates. But Chevron reclaims the North Sea and is continuing with development of a new field called Alder. And the giant Rosebank project could yet go ahead. Mr. May, a Chevron spokesman said: "We have been here for 50 years," "We want to stay."[8]

The (Rx) Reactive Extensions v1.0 Stable and v1.1 Experimental are now officially available! "Rx V1 will ship as a stable release with professionally-written technical documentation, developer samples and...ready? Product support!!," announced the team.
"The Rx cutting edge will manifest itself as experimental releases. The real-world-developer-tested innovations in the experimental releases will most likely find their way into subsequent stable releases, which are the bits you'll want to build your event stream processing empire on top of."
"The experimental releases will allow you to see and touch where the technology is heading, as well as help the team go in the right direction, as you've already done. Without developers using Rx in the real world and providing feedback to the Rx team, it's unlikely that Rx would be in the shape that it's today."
You can download Reactive Extensions v1.0.10621 Stable Release and the Reactive Extensions v1.1.10621 Experimental Release.
Together with the release of Rx v1.0 RTW and Rx v1.1 Experimental, the Interactive Extensions (Ix) v1.1 Experimental is back: Download Interactive Extensions v1.1.10621 Experimental Release.

I have an interim who never used Linux, what's a good way to get him started?
15 Replies
May 3, 2012 at 7:21 UTC
Head first? Give them a system to play with, such as a live boot distro.
May 3, 2012 at 9:03 UTC
While not my favorite flavor anymore, Red Hat or a compatible Linux is a good place to start given the amount of material available (books, etc).
May 3, 2012 at 10:11 UTC
As suggested above, a live boot cd, or maybe a 'test' vm lab on an isolated network segment. There's plenty of material online for how to configure/do things. Get them working on stuff in their live cd/vm lab that you would want them to know when using your system, let them work on it, and then get the work reviewed. Also look for a linux reference guide/how-to on using linux, there's plenty of material found in technical bookstores (or e-books). Give them exposure, give them theory, explain how your company wants things done when working on the live system, and show them best practices and change management processes. Ensure they get plenty of peer review and guidance.
May 4, 2012 at 12:16 UTC
Juzst give him/her a machine and let him ruin it once or twice. at the third time he/she will realize the joy of learning by mistake and success.
eventually he/she will sent you a mail with mutt and ask why there is no "vi" built-in on windows.
May 4, 2012 at 3:05 UTC
Give him a distro and point him to sited like the below
May 4, 2012 at 8:45 UTC
it depends on what you want to learn.. GNU/LInux is an operative system with applications (way more appplications by default than Windows and OSX though), so you have the core management (task management, network, disk, process, etc) and application (LibreOffice, Gnome, KDE) the main difference is that you get to chose the window manager in Linux.
Basically to really learn Linux I suggest to use the shell as much as possible. The distro type is not as important then
May 4, 2012 at 1:02 UTC
Congratulations on your Freedom! If you're willing to learn, and understand that GNU/Linux is not meant to be windows - I think you will find this to be amongst the most enlightening of Technological experiences you've ever had the pleasure to experience.
Other than distro-specific resources (e.g., if it's Ubuntu, there are a number of places to learn whatever you want), for the GNU/Linux command line - I would suggest the linuxcommand.org site by William Shotts.
This simple site has a full online book for learning the command line for GNU/Linux:
If you'd rather download the book, it's free too, you can get it here:
Another great resource is The Linux Documentation Project at:
There's even more...
If you need any information on a specific distro, let me know. I'm also going to post this to G+, so maybe some more people will comment.

+1 to this. It's a great way to go.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Start by defining a goal. What do you want him to know at the end?
Imagine the question... I'd like him to learn Windows. Now think about all of the things that that could mean. Now consider that in Linux you have that same breadth but magnified by having a huge array of different distributions. Linux isn't a thing on its own, it is a family of things.
May 7, 2012 at 10:09 UTC
Hi Scott,
I need him to be able to administrator a Linux server, the ability to adjust partitions, load software and support a web application. He is a really good Windows server admin, and I'd like to see him do the same in a Linux setup.

Do you know what Linux you will be using?
May 7, 2012 at 12:16 UTC
Opensuse and Redhat.
May 7, 2012 at 2:05 UTC
I would recommend Ubuntu. It is a very user friendly version of linuxs and is based on Debian. It will give them a GUI starting off so they can learn the file structor. Once they feel more comfortable they can get rid of the GUI if they choose and go all command line like a pro. The are several e-books out there on Ubuntu for help. I would also start him off on one of the long term support (LTS) versions since they are documented the best. I would also give him an easy project that way he can learn the fundimentals of linux before he / she gets into more complex projects
May 7, 2012 at 3:37 UTC

Cool. Red Hat actually has some amazing online documentation that will step through system administration tasks.
Installing CentOS at home and just messing with it will go a long way. Have him avoid GUIs - they tempt you to not learn what is happening and will make the learning process much longer. Trying to work from a command line at all times pushes you to learn quickly.

Australia's MEO Australia Ltd. reported Monday that Canada's Australasia-focused oil and gas production firm TAG Oil Ltd. would take over a 70 percent operating stake in petroleum exploration permit (PEP) 51153 in New Zealand's Taranaki Basin from Kea Petroleum Ltd.'s sale.
MEO, which has a 30 percent interest in the PEP51153 joint venture, revealed previously that Kea's liquidators had entered into a conditional agreement for the sale of its interest in PEP51153 to an existing Operator in the region. TAG already has a presence in New Zealand, with a 100 percent interest in Cheal oil field located 4.3 miles (7 kilometers) west of PEP51153.
"TAG Oil Ltd. has acquired Kea's interest in PEP51153 and that all conditions precedent related to the acquisition have been satisfied, including New Zealand regulatory approval of TAG assuming Operatorship of the permit," MEO said in the press release.
MEO revealed that the PEP51153 joint venture will work to define in detail the work program for the remainder of 2016 and the forward plan for the acreage. Near term activity will focus on the collection of gravity data, seismic interpretation and the potential to capture operational synergies with TAG.
"MEO sees significant potential value in the PEP51153 permit and welcomes TAG as a low cost Operator with its extensive technical and operations experience in the Taranaki Basin. Having an Operator with TAG's established local footprint offers the potential for significant operational synergies, helping to ensure that the hydrocarbon potential of the permit can be unlocked in an efficient and cost effective manner. In addition, the revisions to the minimum work program provide the PEP51153 Joint Venture with the necessary flexibility to design and implement the optimal work program to assess the hydrocarbon potential of the permit," MEO's CEO and Managing Director Peter Stickland said in the press release.

Sisterhood of Dune Sweepstakes
Sign up for the Tor/Forge Newsletter for a chance to win the following prize pack:
Here's your chance to win an advance reading copy of Sisterhood of Dune, the newest addition to the Dune universe.
About Sisterhood of Dune: It is eighty-three years after the last of the thinking machines were destroyed in the Battle of Corrin, after Faykan Butler took the name of Corrino and established himself as the first Emperor of a new Imperium. Great changes are brewing that will shape and twist all of humankind.
The war hero Vorian Atreides has turned his back on politics and Salusa Secundus. The descendants of Abulurd Harkonnen Griffen and Valya have sworn vengeance against Vor, blaming him for the downfall of their fortunes. Raquella Berto-Anirul has formed the Bene Gesserit School on the jungle planet Rossak as the first Reverend Mother. The descendants of Aurelius Venport and Norma Cenva have built Venport Holdings, using mutated, spice-saturated Navigators who fly precursors of Heighliners. Gilbertus Albans, the ward of the hated Erasmus, is teaching humans to become Mentats…and hiding an unbelievable secret.
The Butlerian movement, rabidly opposed to all forms of "dangerous technology," is led by Manford Torondo and his devoted Swordmaster, Anari Idaho. And it is this group, so many decades after the defeat of the thinking machines, which begins to sweep across the known universe in mobs, millions strong, destroying everything in its path.
Every one of these characters, and all of these groups, will become enmeshed in the contest between Reason and Faith. All of them will be forced to choose sides in the inevitable crusade that could destroy humankind forever…

Dune is one of those series… i remember watching the movie [one of the few times i saw the movie before i read the book] and then *demanding* the book – which i wasn't allowed to read, i was "too young" for the book, but not the movie?
they ARE addictive, i'll grant 🙂 must be all the Spice in the ink.

They always try to hook you up with blk guy. I hate it!!!
Most Helpful Guy
but why let others hook you up? make your own choises and go for the guy you like and tell others to stop with the crap.
are your friends that try to hook you up, black too ? Maybe they see it as "our girl needs to date our guys". If they are white, maybe they think that you are not supposed to date the white guys.
Women can be seriously bitchy.21|10|0
Yea I think I will just date on my own. I don't really asked to be hooked up, people try to.
- Show AllShow Less
Also think there is a double standard. If I date outside my race and like it I must hate myself or c have psychological issues. But black guys do it all the time and nobody bats an eye. I am learning ti not care. people always have something bad to say.
I agree asker. As if these people making these claims have expertise on psychological issues. They're just making stuff up, albeit logical in their brain, to try and convince you.

Flags, clowns, tall Uncle Sam among Fourth of July sights from '88 to '91
The most glorious days for Old Glory come in May, July and November.
Patriotic people wave flags reverently for Memorial Day and Veterans Day. They fly them proudly and joyously for the Fourth of July.
Red, white and blue will be in fashion on Thursday — this year's chief summer holiday. In past years, Capital Region residents have worn and flown the colors during parades, picnics and pyrotechnic parties.
In 1988, Jason and Gloria Cerasuolo were among participants in the Willow Glen neighborhood's annual Fourth of July parade. Residents of the Glenville housing development had been gathering for the march since 1982.
In 1989, folks like Matt Mickle of Middleburgh, Macintosh the Clown and Ruth Manzi of the Fort Crailo Yankee Doodle Band celebrated the day with colors, comedy and music. In 1990, along came Sam — long, lean, lanky Sam at the Empire State Plaza. An athletic gentleman on stilts portrayed the nation's favorite uncle.
Young people with flags in their caps and in their hands — and smiles on their faces — were in Alplaus in 1991 for the hamlet's Fourth of July parade.

I'm writing a character that has a heavy Irish brogue, and I'm not sure how to write for him! I can hear his voice in my head, but it's the writing out the actual dialogue part that's been difficult.
I've seen people write out accents before, and if well done, it can be really good. If not, it's extremely annoying. If I could, I'd like to make the readers feel like they can hear the character talking in their heads too, but I'd like to avoid it if it's just going to be annoying!
Any tips on how to actually write out the accent? Or should I not worry about it because my readers will most likely already know how this character sounds when he talks anyway?1/7/2012 #1
I wouldn't try to write out the accent, but maybe there are particular phrasings that he uses?
Off the top of my head, if I read a character who said, "For sure,..." I'd be "hearing" an Irish accent.1/8/2012 #2
When introducing the character, you should clearly describe him as having a strong irish accent, and at various points during the story you should remind the reader of this, it will hopefully allow them to visualize the character speaking in what they imagine to be as an irish accent. For example:
"Pass me another beer, Paddy!" Jimmy McKeegan requested, in his sing-song Irish accent.
But if you consider yourself to have a strong understanding of the Irish way of speaking, then you can utilize apostrophes and cultural quirks to make the characters' dialogue more authentic, and almost force the reader to say it in their head in an irish accent. For example:
In the old Paddy's bar, on the corner of Rover avenue....
"Pass me another whiskey Paddy me lad!"
"Don' you think you've had a bit too much fer tonight Jimmy?"
"A tru' Irishman could never have too much whiske' !"
That's just my advice, from experience in writing and speaking with an Irish dialect in mind. (Always gets a laugh at the party)1/8/2012 #3
|melody's muse
Thanks for the advice. :)
I have decided that I am not going to write out the accent, especially since I'm really not that familiar with Irish accents in the first place. But I will try to throw in a few expressions if I can or at least make references to his lilting, Irish voice or something like that, lol.
I do have a couple of questions though if anyone could answer.
1. What would an Irish person typically call their mother? Would it be "mum" like the British? Or something else?
2. Would an Irish person call a child a "lad" or a "lass"? Or is this Scottish?1/11/2012 #4
1.Yes, I do believe that the Irish refer to their mothers as mums, like we do, but I also think you can use ma which will sound more specifically Irish.
2.A lot of Gaelic expressions are similar, so it is very likely that the Irish would call a child "laddie" or lassie".
Listening to the accents of Irish people on something like youtube might also help.1/13/2012 #5
|melody's muse
@Rallag...thanks for your help!1/13/2012 #6
From an Irish person, living in Ireland;
1) Ma/Mam/Mammy (even adults use Mammy). Also, it is common for people use "Mother" in a faux formal way.
2) It would be more common to hear "young lad" "young fella" or for a girl "young one"11/10/2012 #7
There are a few websites that you can find that are dedicated to Irish slang words if you want to make your story more authentic sounding. Just Google "Irish Slang". Though I would suggest not going overboard with usage as you may alienate some readers that have no idea what common Irish slang means.
I am glad you decided against writing in an Irish brogue. Not only is it difficult if you don't know it but it is hard to read. I can attest to that by trying to get through stories based in the Scottish Highlands and the dialogue as an American is unnatural sounding and doesn't flow well to me. On the other end of the spectrum, I have been reading a story where it takes place in Boston and the author writes partial dialogue in a Boston accent (and it is written badly when the author does it). Having lived in Boston when I went to college, I certainly understand "yahd" is supposed to be "yard" but it still looks odd when written down and causes the reader to be sucked out of the story trying to figure out what a word is supposed to be. Personally, I can't stand when dialogue is written in an accent or dialect. All that is necessary is certain slang usage indicative of the region and mentions of speaking in an accent/dialect.11/11/2012 #8
1. What would an Irish person typically call their mother? Would it be "mum" like the British? Or something else?
Answer: An Irish person Calls their mother '' Ma''.
2. Would an Irish person call a child a "lad" or a "lass"? Or is this Scottish?
Answer: an irish person would call their child a '' Wain''.
hope this helped you out8/24/2013 #9
Lad and lassie is definitely Scottish and even North of English. Not convinced it is Irish. In saying that, even these terms are only used in specific areas Of the country.
I am not too enthusiastic about trying to mimic accents in dialogue. It can be very off-putting to read, at least for me.
I think the best way would be to identify some terms that the Irish typically say. So using the appropriate 'irish' term for common terms like mother, father, brother, sister, friend is the way to go.
Also you can try to find some specific expressions. Like "it is a great craic." from the internet. Better that than trying to change each word to "troy toh make it soynd Oirish" if you know what I mean. ;)8/24/2013 #10
What TommyMc55 said, you can't go wrong with that.
There are some videos on Youtube if you search for "What Irish people say" that have a lot of genuine Irish expressions. They're quite funny too, but I suppose only if you're used to Irish English.
Whatever you do use, you might want to make sure that it's right, or it would be very jarring for someone familiar with the real thing. I stopped reading a fic which was decent otherwise, just because the writer named her Irish character 'Colleen' (it's a common Irish-sounding name in the US, but not in Ireland)...
More to the general point of accents in writing: I came across a fic in the Sherlock fandom a while ago, which has dialogue written in a pretty convincing Dublin accent. It's hilarious if you're familiar with the real thing, but even then I had to silently read it out to myself to make it work. It was very short, and I don't think I would have made the effort for anything longer.8/24/2013 #11
Hmmm, I've never written dialogue for a character that had an accent, but I've read some pretty good ones! Like from the HTTYD fandom, people are pretty good at writing Gobber's accent (Unsure if his accent is Irish or Scottish in the movie even though they're vikings...sooo)
"Ye've run this course more times that I can count and ye'll be fine. Just keep ye're first mile under 6 minutes thirty seconds and blast up the last hill."
"Thar he is! He's got the official time right thar! 20:14.4!"
If you're looking for an even thicker accent, then try to think of what letters to tact on in words to give that effect. I read a fanfic where the author gave a character a very thick french accent and it came out like this.
"We speak Ehngleesh, 'o courgrse," he said, his face unchanged. "We argre hergre on the teep dzat you wergre seen convehrsing weedz la Gargouille."
Hope this helped you. Good luck hun! :)8/24/2013 . Edited 8/24/2013 #12
I think that first one is Scottish, Loveless. I've noticed that Scottish accents sound pretty gruff and Irish accents sound like singing. It's about the only way I can tell the difference since I don't hear either much.
Your last example is unreadable. I do not understand the the liberal use of g's and bookended r's.8/24/2013 #13
When I first read the fanfic that had the french like accent, I couldn't really understand it until I read it out loud the way it sounds and then I understood.
"We speak Ehngleesh, 'o courgrse," he said, his face unchanged. "We argre hergre on the teep dzat you wergre seen convehrsing weedz la Gargouille."
What they are saying is "We speak English of course. We are here on the tip that you were seen conversing with the Gargouille."
Most readers for the fanfic did complain about having trouble with understanding what was being said, but I assume they got the hang of it after awhile. I found it kind of amusing trying to read it out loud lol.
I assume what the author might of done was listen to people with a french accent, then spell out the words exactly how it sounded to them. They did it for other languages too, there was a total of 2 or 3 different languages in the fic, minus English of course.8/24/2013 . Edited 8/24/2013 #14
The thing I don't like about writing accents out "the way they sound" is that the writer is assuming that the readers are going to pronounce vowels and consonants the same way they do. Which isn't always the case.
I wouldn't read a fic like that, since it would be too confusing for me.8/24/2013 . Edited 8/24/2013 #15
That is not how French accents are usually written. With is usually wis or something. And that is zat.8/24/2013 #16
@ Wildcard - when speakers of a latin based language speak English, they tend to pronounce short i sounds as long e sounds.
Which I think is the reasoning behind "We speak Ehngleesh," but stuff like that is like nails on a chalkboard for me. :(
ETA: you're right, another thing is that they don't have a "th" sound, and it sometimes sounds like a "s" or "z" in French accents.8/24/2013 . Edited 8/24/2013 #17
Eh, the author was trying to go for a French accent, I'm not surprised that they made a few mistakes attempting to do that.
@ Captain Zangano
The fic itself is not confusing, it's just that when they introduced a person with a French accent that they attempted trying to write out how the accent would be. It did annoy me sometimes when I couldn't completely understand what they were saying, but it was every once in a great while, so I don't think it took anything away from the fic itself at all. It was well worth the read and easily one of my top favorite fics.8/24/2013 . Edited 8/24/2013 #18
I believe the word you're looking for is "Gaelic", if memory serves correct their accent is refereed to as Gaelic. However it would also be a good idea, google search some Irish terms/slang, it'll help push the character forward with their Irish Heritage.8/25/2013 #19
Gaelic is a separate language, not an accent. (Actually it's two related languages: Scots Gaelic and Irish Gaelic. I'm not sure how similar they are.)
It's nothing like English - it's completely unguessable unless you speak it.8/25/2013 #20

Oh yeah, totally. I memorized a few Enya songs. I haven't a clue what any of them translate to (except Storms in Africa which she sang in both languages) but I can tell you there's definitely nothing recognizable in there. If I remember right, the two languages evolved completely independently of each other and have no common ancestry, right?
Thanks for this, I am writing a novel set in 16th century Ireland and I was extremely wary of writing out the accents. But now I'm feeling perfectly fine about just allowing the reader to use their imagination. This was a huge help, and again thank you.2/1/2014 #22
So much better that way! Putting in the wrong accent is only going to put people off, and as a Brit I'd say half the guesses at an Irish accent in this thread sound Scottish!
There's a new (slightly odd) version of The Three Musketeers on the BBC at the moment and someone somewhere made the very sensible decision to let all the actors use their very English accents instead of trying to do some fake French thing.2/1/2014 #23
The other day I was reading an e-text of "Martin Hewitt, Investigator," first published in 1894, and here's a sample paragraph of dialogue from an Irishman with a grievance. The rendition of his accent struck me as overkill, but I remembered this thread and decided to offer this sample of how at least one author was doing it in the late Victorian Age, in a scene set in London, with the speaker having just recently arrived from Dublin:
"I will, sor. Wan day had I been in London, sor—wan day only, an' a low scutt thried to poison me dhrink; next day some udther thief av sin shoved me off av a railway platform undher a train, malicious and purposeful; glory be, he didn't kill me! but the very docther that felt me bones thried to pick me pockut, I du b'lieve. Sunday night I was grabbed outrageous in a darrk turnin', rowled on the groun', half strangled, an' me pockuts nigh ripped out av me trousies. An' this very blessed mornin' av light I was strook onsensible an' left a livin' c-o-r-p-s-e, an' my lodgin's penethrated an' all the thruck mishandled an' bruk up behind me back. Is that a panjandhery for the polis to laff at, sor?"
P.S. I had to go back and edit the word that means a dead body so it wouldn't be "censored out" by the forum software.2/24/2014 . Edited 2/24/2014 #24
Wow, that is incredibly hard to read, and I can't imagine an Irish accent at all with all that. If I were trying to write such a character myself, I might glean bits and pieces from this, a pinch of salt.
In my fandom, one of the main characters is a stereotypical country farmer with a hillbilly accent. I might write her as fixin' to go somewhere, but some writers feel the need to butcher every single word that comes out of her mouth. There's a certain rhythm to her voice, the words have to roll out fluidly. If my brain is stopping with every 'A'hve' and 'ta', then it's going to sound nothing like her. The effect often makes me feel as if I'm reading speech from someone who's suffered a massive stroke, and has difficulty speaking.2/24/2014 #25
|Out of Books
Speaking from my RL experience, I feel the need to point out that accents from other countries are just as regionally diverse as they are in America. The New Yorker, Southern, Chicagoan, Jersey, & Texan accent are all considered American, and when writing your character it's the localized slang you use to define the accent of a character. It should be the same with using accents from other countries. As far as writing it out, that should depend, in part, on your focus character's perception on what is considered normal speech. "I speak normally. You're the one with the accent." This is the mindset nearly all people have. When reading, accent marks tends to imply an "incorrect" dialect, and I really can only recommend them when trying to get your reader to mirror your focus character's frustrations in lacking understanding.2/24/2014 #26
Lol, Idk what it was supposed to sound like, but the guy sounded like he had a half Irish, half English accent. A salty sailor, or maybe a drunken brawler. And I can only guess at half those words, they're so garbled as to be incomprehensible. What the hell is 'sor' supposed to--Oh. I just got it. Sir. Yeah, that wasn't obvious. There's several words I still don't know in there, so I only half-understood the point of this passage and the details are nearly all lost on me.
If anyone wants to do an accent like that, make sure nothing you wrote in that accent is actually important and you keep it down to a couple sentences here and there because the frustration level is high, half the words will be lost in translation and a smart reader is just going to skip to the next bit of properly spelled English (or whatever language it's written in).
I might write her as fixin' to go somewhere, but some writers feel the need to butcher every single word that comes out of her mouth.
I'm a big fan of just keeping it to the common word choices. I mean, in Harry Potter, most characters were written as speaking real English, but they said things like mum and batty, so you know they definitely weren't using an American accent. I prefer the little things giving the reader an idea of what they should hear in their mind, but leaving it up to the reader to supply the accent itself. Sure, not everyone will get it right or be able to replicate that particular accent, but so what? If they can at least understand what the hell is going on, that's better than making them look for context to figure things out, like when I read Hagrid's parts.
Yeah, DH, it's definitely hard reading a butchered section quickly. I was trying to read a Sunday comic strip last night with a Spanish and French accent and it took me two commercial breaks because translating too so long that I ran out of time during the first one! And even worse, I had to reread each panel after translating it to understand what the panel was saying, then at the end I had to reread the entire strip because it'd taken so damn long that I'd forgotten what the hell was going on! I'd actually been confused the first time I read the punch line!
When reading, accent marks tends to imply an "incorrect" dialect, and I really can only recommend them when trying to get your reader to mirror your focus character's frustrations in lacking understanding.
That's a good point.2/24/2014 #27
Just to comment: When I was first reading that Irishman's dialogue in the old Martin Hewitt story, I was strongly reminded of the way I felt in 1999 when I was first watching "Star Wars, Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" and Jar Jar Binks suddenly sauntered onstage and starting expressing himself in what I initially considered to be a nearly impenetrable accent. My brain made some mental adjustments over the next few minutes, and I was understanding him a lot better by the end of the movie, but I still felt that someone had made a horrible mistake in laying it on so thick.
(As I recall, he got very little dialogue in the next two films -- apparently George Lucas had decided the character didn't come across as being so endearing as previously hoped. But I couldn't help thinking that toning down the accent might have helped him make a far, far better first impression.)2/24/2014 . Edited 2/24/2014 #28

Given the obvious slave-accent, yeah, I wouldn't think so.2/24/2014 #29
I remember that after the movie had been out for a while, I'd sometimes see comments on the Internet to the effect that Jar Jar Binks struck some people as flagrantly racist. I think that may have related to his accent -- thing was, when I'd watched the movie myself, I hadn't consciously noticed anything particularly familiar about his annoyingly thick accent in terms of any real-world ethnic group or whatever; I'd just been too busy trying to figure out what the heck he was saying.
I don't remember, if I ever knew, exactly what real-world accent supposedly resembled his. Frankly, it's been a heck of a long time since I re-watched "Phantom Menace" on DVD or otherwise gave more than a passing thought to Jar Jar Binks.
On the other hand, just now I was remembering another treatment of the same sort of thing as that "Irishman's complaint" I quoted previously -- thick accent, rendered phonetically, combined with slang that's part of a local dialect. This example was also found in a professionally published novel, but the author (in the 1950s) had a much better grasp of how his English-speaking audience would react. (Granted, he was an American, so he could reasonably assume that most of his readers would likewise be Americans, and not terribly familiar with, nor intensely interested in, the regional accents and dialects of the British Isles.)
The following is quoted from "Martians, Go Home!" by Fredric Brown. (A humorous SF novel from way back when.) The person speaking to us directly is apparently the nameless omniscient narrator, although a Cockney criminal named Alf speaks the part in quotation marks. (Hence all the rhyming slang, such as "pig's ear" for "beer" and "smash" for "cash.")
Let's let Alf tell it in his own words.
Of course the key differences are that Brown only made us "listen" to that for one paragraph, for humorous effect, and then stopped and translated (and used more conventional English in the remainder of that scene telling us what happened to Alf), because he knew darn well that expecting us to tolerate such thickly-accented and rhyming-slang-laden narrative for any significant length of time was a non-starter.2/24/2014 .

WATCH: A year of global weather patterns
Digital Reporter
Friday, February 7, 2014, 4:17 PM -
The world saw some wild weather in 2013, from the El Reno tornado in the U.S., to the devastating Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, to an intense ice storm in southern Ontario during the Christmas season.
Now, you can view all that, and much more, in this animated visualization.
As an added bonus, the video contains commentary from geophysicist Mark Higgins.
