Steven Stone (Japanese: ツワブキ・ダイゴ Daigo Tsuwabuki) is the Pokémon League Champion in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, and a powerful wandering Trainer in Emerald, having relinquished his title to Wallace. He is a Master of the Steel type, with a Metagross being the cornerstone of his team.
Steven is the son of the president of the Devon Corporation, and he and his father both collect rare stones. Steven makes his home on Mossdeep, and when the Elite Four are beaten in Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, he will have left a Beldum and a note for the player.

In the games
In Generation III
His strategy in battle is to use Steel-type Pokémon to find the opponent's weakness.
Steven is the Champion of the Hoenn region in Ruby and Sapphire. In Emerald, Wallace replaces him in this role.
In Pokémon Emerald, Steven is a powerful wandering Trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. He claims to be willing to climb waterfalls to find rare stones. With this hint, he can be found and challenged in the upper area of Meteor Falls after defeating the Elite Four.
In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, after the player enters the Hall of Fame, he offers a Beldum at his house in Mossdeep City.
In Generation IV
In Pokémon Platinum, a man whose description is similar to Steven's was the previous owner of the villa in the Resort Area.
He also appears in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. The player will first meet him after they have left the Pokémon Fan Club in Vermilion City after collecting the Copycat's Clefairy Doll, in which he will appear and inform the player that there's reports of either a LatiosSS or LatiasHG roaming Kanto. The next time the player will meet him after beating Red on Mt. Silver, where he will appear in the Silph Co. building in Saffron City and let the player choose one of three colored stones (Green, Red or Blue) and depending on the color picked will give the player one of the Hoenn starter Pokémon. He can later be found in the Pewter Museum of Science, examining a shelf. After visiting and speaking to him there, he will return to the Silph Co. building offering to trade a Beldum for a Forretress.
If the player has the Enigma Stone and enters the Pewter Museum of Science, he will be talking to a researcher. When he is spoken to, he will notice the Enigma Stone and have the researcher examine it. The researcher will extract the Soul Dew from the stone and give it to the player. Steven will tell the player that Soul Dew is said to be the solidified spirits of Latias and Latios, and that it can bring out their true potential. Upon walking outside, LatiasSS or LatiosHG will be waiting outside to battle, drawn by the Soul Dew.
In Generation V
In Pokémon Black and White, he is mentioned as a really strong Trainer who collects stones by a Hoenn visitor at Undella Town.

Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
Granite Cave
- "That device you have there… It's a PokéNav. When Trainers that have PokéNavs battle, it keeps a record of how things went, I think. Oh, pardon me. My name is Steven. I'm interested in rare stones, so I travel here and there. Oh? A Letter for me? Okay, thank you. You went through all this trouble to deliver that. I need to thank you. Let me see… I'll give you this TM. It contains my favorite move, Steel Wing. Your Pokémon appear quite capable. If you keep training, you could even become the Champion of the Pokémon League one day. That's what I think. Now, I've got to hurry along."
Route 118
- "Hi! You're that Trainer I met in Dewford! … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … Oh, okay, you're <player>. I'll remember it. <player>. In this vast world, there are many kinds of Pokémon. They come in many types. Do you raise different types? Or do you raise only Pokémon of a certain type? What do you think as a Trainer? Sorry, it's not my place to ask, is it? Well, anyway, I hope to see you again."
Route 120
- "Hm? <player>, hi. It's been a while. There's something here that you can't see, right? Now, if I were to use this device on the invisible obstacle… No, no. Rather than describing it, I should just show you. That would be more fun. <player>, are your Pokémon ready for battle?"
- If answered no
- "No? I'll wait here, so you can get ready."
- If answered yes
- "<player>, show me your true power as a Trainer!"
- After battling Kecleon
- "I see… Your battle style is intriguing. Your Pokémon have obviously grown since I first met you in Dewford. I'd like you to have this Devon Scope. Who knows, there may be other concealed Pokémon. <player>. I enjoy seeing Pokémon and Trainers who strive together. I think you're doing great. Well, let's meet again somewhere."
Route 128
- After the version mascot is awake
- "<player>! What is happening? This is terrible… If this doesn't stop, all of Hoenn… No, the whole world will be parchedR/will drownS. The cause of this calamity, the blazing sun, is in the sky above Sootopolis…R/This huge rain cloud is spreading from above Sootopolis?S What in the world is taking place there? There's no point arguing here… Sootopolis should provide answers… <player>… I don't know what you intend to do, but don't do anything reckless. Okay. I'm going to Sootopolis."
Sootopolis City
- "<player>, you came, too? Under this scorching sunR/In this terrible rainstormS, yet… Oh, yes, can you hear out what my friend has to say?"
- "This sunlightR/rainS… People and Pokémon need sunlightR/waterS to live… But why does this sunlightR/rainS fill us with so much dread? The blazing sun over Sootopolis is intensifying… Soon, all of Hoenn will be under its withering glare…R/The rain clouds over Sootopolis will keep building and soon extend all over Hoenn…S If that were to happen…"
- "<player>, I never expected you to be holding the Red OrbR/Blue OrbS. You'll be okay. With your Pokémon, you'll get things done no matter what. I'm convinced of it!"
- If spoken to again
- "You'll be okay. With your Pokémon, you'll get things done whatever happens. I'm convinced of it!"
- After the battle with version mascot
- "<player>, we owe it all to you. The sky above Sootopolis has returned to normal. For that, Wallace sends his thanks, too. And, that same Wallace is waiting for you inside. He's strong. But the way you are now, you should be on equal footing with him. Give it your best shot."
Ever Grande City
- Before battle
- "Welcome, <player>. I was looking forward to seeing you here one day. You... What did you see on your journey with Pokémon? What did you feel, meeting so many other Trainers like you? What has awoken in you? I want you to hit me with it all! Now, bring it!"
- When defeated
- "I, the Champion, fall in defeat... Kudos to you, <player>! You are a truly noble Pokémon Trainer!"
- After being defeated
- "Congratulations! The feelings you have for your Pokémon... And the Pokémon that responded to those feelings with all their might... They came together as one, and created an even greater power. And thus, you were able to grasp victory today! You are rightfully the Hoenn region's new..."
- "<Player>... No, the new Champion! Come with me." [To Brendan/May] "I'm sorry, but... From here on, only those Trainers who have become Champions may enter. You'll have to wait outside with the Professor."
- "This room... This is where we keep records of Pokémon that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the League Champions are honored. Come on, let's record your name as a Trainer who triumphed over the Pokémon League, and the names of the partners who battled with you."
Steven's house
- Note left on Steven's desk, after the player has entered the Hall of Fame
- "… … … … … …" "To <player>… I've decided to do a little soul-searching and train on the road. I don't plan to return home for some time. I have a favor to ask of you. I want you to take the Poké Ball on the desk. Inside it is a Beldum, my favorite Pokémon. I'm counting on you. May our paths cross again someday."
- —Steven Stone
Pokémon Emerald
Granite Cave
- "My name is Steven. I'm interested in rare stones, so I travel here and there. Oh? A Letter for me? Okay, thank you. You went through all this trouble to deliver that. I need to thank you. Let me see… I'll give you this TM. It contains my favorite move, Steel Wing. Your Pokémon appear quite capable. If you keep training, you could even become the Champion of the Pokémon League one day. That's what I think. I know, since we've gotten to know each other, let's register one another in our PokéNavs. … … … … … … Now, I've got to hurry along."
Route 118
- "Hi, <player>! It's me, Steven! We met in the cave near Dewford. Have you met many kinds of Pokémon since I last saw you? There are many, many kinds of Pokémon in this wide world of ours. If you wanted to raise only your favorites, that's fine. Perhaps you find it more fun to raise all sorts of Pokémon. As a Trainer of Pokémon, what do you think? Of course, it's not any of my business. It would be nice if we were to meet again somewhere."
Route 120
- "Hm? <player>, hi. It's been a while. There's something here that you can't see, right? Now, if I were to use this device on the invisible obstacle… No, no. Rather than describing it, I should just show you. That would be more fun. <player>, are your Pokémon ready for battle?"

Who knows, there may be other concealed Pokémon. <player>. I enjoy seeing Pokémon and Trainers who strive together. I think you're doing great. Well, let's meet again somewhere.
Mossdeep Space Center
- "<player>, have you read that proclamation already? Team Magma is coming after the rocket fuel on this island. I don't know what they'd need it for, but they can't be allowed to take it. I'll keep an eye on things for a while longer. In the meantime, why don't you go check out the town?"
- After earning the Mind Badge
- "Team Magma… What's the point of stealing rocket fuel?"
- "<player>! You're going to help me? Let's get into battle together! Are you ready?"
- If answered no
- "Then, hurry! Get ready quickly!"
- After battle
- Whew, that was too tense. <player>, thank you. I have something to give you as thanks for your support. Please come see me at home after this. Oh yes, I don't live in Rustboro City. I live right here on this island."
Steven's house
- After battling Team Magma in the Mossdeep Space Center
- "<player>… As you can see, there's not much here, but this is my home. Thank you for all that you've done. This is my token of appreciation. It's the Hidden Machine Dive. No need to be shy--you've earned this HM. While you're using Surf, you should notice dark patches of water. Use Dive if you come to deep water like it. You'll drop to the seafloor. When you want to come back up, use Dive again. In some places, it won't be possible for you to surface, though."
- If talked to once again
- "Apparently, there's an underwater cavern between Mossdeep and Sootopolis. You know, the one that Capt. Stern found in his submarine."
- Note left on Steven's desk, after the player has entered the Hall of Fame
- "... ... ... ... ... ..." "To <player>... I've decided to do a little soul-searching and train on the road. I don't plan to return home for some time. I have a favor to ask of you. I want you to take the Poké Ball on the desk. Inside it is a Beldum, my favorite Pokémon. I'm counting on you. May our paths cross again someday."

Route 128
- After the Kyogre is awake
- "<player>! What is happening? This is terrible… After the scorching heat wave ended, this deluge began. If this doesn't stop, all of Hoenn… No, the whole world will drown. This huge rain cloud is spreading from above Sootopolis… What in the world is taking place there? There's no point arguing here… Sootopolis might provide answers… <player>… I don't know what you intend to do, but don't do anything reckless. Okay. I'm going to Sootopolis."
Sootopolis City
- "Those Pokémon fighting… Groudon… And Kyogre… The two super-ancient Pokémon were awakened from a long sleep… And now they are smashing each other with their uncontrollable energy… …<player>. You being here now I'll take to mean that you're prepared to become involved in this crisis. Well, then, there's someone that I'd like you to meet. Come with me, please."
- "Listen, <player>. Does seeing Groudon and Kyogre make you think Pokémon are to be feared? But that's not true. Pokémon are really more… …Why am I asking you this? You already know."
- "Okay, here we are! Inside you'll find someone named Wallace. I think you have what's needed to help him…"
- After talking with Wallace
- "The Sky Pillar… I've never been there. I wonder where it could be?"
- After the crisis is solved
- "So that's Rayquaza… It's incredible how the two rampaging Pokémon would flee from it in fear…"
- "It looks like both Maxie and Archie have gone away somewhere. Perhaps they've gone to Mt. Pyre to return those Orbs…"
Meteor Falls
- Before battle
- "Oh, wow, <player>. I'm amazed you knew where to find me. Do you, uh...maybe think of me as just a rock maniac? No, that can't be right. We battled alongside each other at the Sootopolis Space Center. You should have a very good idea about how good I am. Okay, <player>, if you're going to mount a serious challenge, expect the worst!"
- When defeated
- "You… I had no idea you'd become so strong…"
- After being defeated
- "Come to think of it, ever since our paths first crossed in Granite Cave in Dewford, I had this feeling. I thought that you would eventually become the Champion. My predictions usually come true. And where will you go from here? … … … … … … … … … … … … Fufufu, even I couldn't tell you that."
Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
Vermilion City
- After exiting the Pokémon Fan Club
- "Hi! My name is Steven. The Champion from the Hoenn region. Have we met...before? That's not possible. All the Trainers I have battled seem to have the same look, anyway. Especially the ones who gave me tough battles... By the way, have you heard of a Pokémon called LatiasHG/LatiosSS? I am investigating why LatiasHG/LatiosSS, a Pokémon from Hoenn, decided to leave Hoenn to come here. LatiasHG/LatiosSS is a Pokémon that has a lot to do with Soul Dew, a gemlike Orb. Considering the fact that LatiasHG/LatiosSS is now in Kanto, it is possible to assume that this has to do with Soul Dew. LatiasHG/LatiosSS is a Pokémon that travels a great distance. It'd be difficult to find without any machine to track it with. But any Trainer will be drawn to it, won't they? I must go. May our journeys cross again."
Silph Co.
- After defeating Red
- "Hello... You're breaking up... I think it depends on how my dad feels... I see... I'll be on my way. See you soon." (Through phone)
- "You are... I remember your eyes. When I see a Trainer whose eyes twinkle, I always remember."
- "You have a Pokédex! So you are also in search of Pokémon. Let me see... I think I can help you with that. Let's say that you have stones in front of you. Which color would you pick?"
- "You chose correctly! I will give you Treecko/Torchic/Mudkip!"
- "You did a great job naming it!"
- "Take good care of it. Your caring for it will make me very happy."

In the anime
Steven was first mentioned by his father in Stairway to Devon who claimed he would be a good person for Ash and his friends to know. He then appeared as a character of the day in A Hole Lotta Trouble. He helped Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket escape from an underground cavern. Unlike his game counterpart, Steven was not mentioned to be or have been the Hoenn League Champion, but was simply a powerful Trainer. When Ash and company met him he was exploring Granite Cave looking for rare stones on Dewford Island with his partner Aron. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, he found a Fire Stone.
At the end of the episode, Ash vowed to train harder so one day he could be powerful enough to battle Steven.
Steven uses these Pokémon in the anime:
| Steven Stone's Aron was throughout the episode outside its Poké Ball, when its owner was in Granite Cave looking for stones, it helped out digging at the ground. When Jessie, James and Meowth where setting another pitfall trap for Ash, May, Brock and Max, they also fell down being split up. Aron and its Trainer try to find the source of the crash, they found Max, Meowth and Pikachu, the trio tells Steven what happened. Finding a large hole and where the others were, a group of rampaging Aron head straight towards them which they succeed to dodge them. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, they found a Fire Stone. Aron and Steven said their farewells to the group as they headed off into the distance on a sailing boat.
Aron's only known move is Roar.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Steven met Ruby while looking through the Granite Cave. During a battle with wild Mawile, Ruby's Skitty bumped into one of Steven's Moon Stones, causing her to evolve.
Steven was well-aware of the danger Team Magma and Team Aqua presented, and extended an invitation to Ruby to join the fight against them. Steven invited him to help, but Ruby declined because he didn't like battling. The armlets on Steven's arms are devices he can chip away stone with, to grab and retrieve rocks he sees that are out of reach.
Later in the series, Steven confessed that he and his father, the owner of the Devon Corporation, knew about the schemes of Team Magma and Team Aqua quite long ago. Mr. Stone built the Submarine Explorer 1 so that Steven can seal the Seafloor Cavern and no one would be able to wake Kyogre and Groudon. The backup plan in case it fails would be to unseal Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.
Steven later assembles the rest of the Hoenn Elite Four in order to fight against Kyogre and Groudon. With the help of Sapphire's Wailord and Relicanth, Steven and the Elite Four unsealed the Regis. Steven took control of Registeel and gave the other two Regis to the other members of the Elite Four.
Knowing he would die in Kyogre and Groudon's battle, Steven stepped down from the position of Champion, and gave it back to Wallace, who was actually the true Champion while Steven had only been a runner-up. After Kyogre and Groudon returned to their respective domains, Steven died from the strain of controlling the Regis, but was later revived under mysterious circumstances when Ruby released his Celebi.
Steven later traveled to Sinnoh to collect the rare stones found in the region. He had purchased a Villa but sold it to Platinum and returned to Hoenn at the start of the Platinum chapter.
Steven uses his Metagross to fly around Hoenn. Its magnetism allows him to float atop it.
This listing is of Steven's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.
| Steven is seen with four Beldum. He first used them in Granite Cave to stop a group of Mawile from attacking Ruby. They did so by coming out of some rocks. Some of the Beldum were used to fill up Sapphire's team later on.
Beldum's known moves are Iron Defense and Take Down, and its Ability is Clear Body.
|Ring Ring Goes Beldum
| One of his Metang was used to stop a group of Mawile by coming out of the rocks in Granite Cave. During the clash of Groudon and Kyogre, he gave some of his Metang to the Hoenn Elite Four.
None of Metang's moves are known, and its Ability is Clear Body.
|Ring Ring Goes Beldum
| Metagross is Steven's main Pokémon and strongest as well. It was first used to stop a group of Mawile from attacking Ruby. It was used again to deal with Tabitha's Torkoal and defeated the tortoise Pokémon despite the type disadvantage. Metagross is also used as a method of flight transportation.
Metagross's known moves are Reflect and Meteor Mash, and its Ability is Clear Body.
|Blowing Past Nosepass II
Steven controlled Registeel with Wallace. However, as of Steven's apparent death, Registeel and the other Regis vanished to the mountains, where they have been caught by Brandon.

- In Pokémon Emerald, when the player speaks to him in Meteor Falls before their battle, he makes an error. He talks of their encounter in the Sootopolis City Space Center. The Space Center is actually in Mossdeep City, and this dialog may result from the encounter the player has with him in Sootopolis in Ruby and Sapphire.
- The battle with Steven against Maxie and Tabitha is the only occasion in the Generation III games where the player teams up with an ally for a Double Battle. Several others are available in the Battle Frontier and multiple times in Generation IV.
- During this tag battle, by hacking, it is possible to level up Steven's Pokémon (this would not happen normally, as not enough experience is given to do so).
- In Pokémon Platinum, the person who gives the player their villa in the Resort Area mentions that the guy who gave him the villa came to Sinnoh to collect rare stones. After collecting the stones, he left the region with all the items in the villa. This mysterious previous owner may in fact be Steven, who himself sold the villa to Platinum in Pokémon Adventures and subsequently appeared in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- In the anime, Steven is portrayed as having blue-green eyes; however, in Pokémon Adventures he is portrayed as having yellow eyes.
- Steven's role in Emerald is similar to Red's role in Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, and Alder's in Black 2 and White 2, as they are all former champions who can be battled after defeating the Elite Four. The only difference is that Steven and Alder can only be battled once, while Red can be battled multiple times.
- Steven is the only Champion to never use any Pokémon that has only one type in any of his teams.
- Steven shares his French name (Pierre) with Brock, the Gym Leader of Pewter City. In the French dub of the anime, he keeps his English name of Steven Stone so as to not be confused with Brock, who was traveling with Ash when the group met Steven.
- In games both appears in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is referred as "P. Rochard" and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 as "Rochard"
- Steven's Trainer ID number is 61226 in Pokémon Emerald, while it is 23478 in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
- In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, Steven states that his favorite Pokémon is Beldum and that his favorite move is Steel Wing. Consequently, he leaves Beldum in his house as a gift for the player, and gives the player TM47 (Steel Wing) in Granite Cave.
- Despite being a Steel-type specialist, all of Steven's teams feature just as many or more Rock-type pokemon.

Surfboard Shower
The Surfboard is made from standard pressure treated wood. Because wood will warp and bend the 2x6 boards that make up the surfboard are spaced 1/4".
The base of the shower has thick layer of stone pebbles.
The pluming is easily done with PVC pipe. To keep the project cheap PVC faucet - ball valves were used and fitted with wooden knobs. The shower head is made from a 1" PVC pipe where several tiny holed were drilled.
Because it is an outdoor shower it is convenient to be able to just wash your feet. This is done with a horizontal pipe with holes at an angle about 12" above the base.
The sides of the shower are also made with pressure treated wood and the slats are spaced 1/2".

Darren Barefoot | April 2, 2007
By Darren Barefoot • Monday, April 2, 2007 - 22:35
We're pausing on this sunny (at least in Vancouver) Monday to ask you an important question: how could we improve DeSmogBlog? Whether you're a veteran reader with tons of comments, or a new visitor, take a moment and help us make the site better.
Your feedback can be about the site's content:
- More politics or less politics?
- More international news or more of a Canadian focus?
- More science or less science?
- More solutions and positive stories, or more debunking of climate change skeptics?
- Or anything else you can think of?
Or you can tell us about the site's design and structure:
- Do you want more rich media, like audio and video?
- Is the home page too busy?
- Should we, I don't know, make the site pink and blue?
Anything goes. Of course, we're not making any promises to make the site purple and all about salamanders, but we'll take every suggestion under consideration.
(Thanks to Oberazzi for the photo).

First off I'd just like to
First off I'd just like to say I really appreciate your website. Its good to have a Canadian voice for Climate change awareness.
The site is fantastic but there are a few visual things I would change - mostly the layout of your articles. I think having the current article summary and images larger than older stories would be a good idea. It would also be nice to move the permanent pages either to the sides or slightly below the main 'topic' of discussion.
Just my 2c (But I appreciate you asking) -Trevor
Politics: I think you cover
Steve replied on Permalink
more context
searching and archives
- an expanded search utility, so that previous blog entries or even comments could be located reliably
- recognition that Desmogblog is not obligated to publish every submitted comment - those who whinge about freedom to write anything they want can start their own blogs
- an archives section that would list former titles in a title table
- less fighting with scoffers who haven't done the homework, and just make political attacks on Desmogblog's character
- zero tolerance for bad language and offensive comments; these only drive away more thoughtful discussion and questions
- a series of short, plain-language explanations for non-scientists, in an archive perhaps
- highlighting more actions by responsible industry
- invited essays or comments by others in the Desmogblog community
- a bit more about what is happening in Canada, including details of events, government actions
- a recognition that global climate change (and the local and regional impacts) are not just the purview of climatologists and physicists. They are generally not trained or experienced in making conclusions regarding ecological, economic or health impacts.

Thanks for all the feedback...
Some ideas
Maybe you need to focus on specific areas that no one else is doing; for science, there is RealClimate and some blogs.
It's useful when you focus on what the media says, like the National Post denier series.
If you get more into politics, does that mean you would take a specific political position? There are tons of partisan political blogs and forums on the internet; and I think you could get swamped.
I would like to see informed analysis of the environmental policies of the federal and provincial governments; political blogs discuss them from time to time; though the blogs tend to be partisan, they still come up with useful information and interesting insights.
The real usefulness of the internet is in making connections. There are several instances of the hive mind at work on the internet, in forums like babble or in groups of bloggers which are often members of aggregators like Progressive Bloggers; so they read each other and comment on each other's blogs.
A couple of examples - in the US:
Talking Points Memo was able to relatively quickly go through a government dump of 3000 documents about the firing of lawyers by appealing to its readers But then it is a large blog, with some 100,000 daily readers.
In Canada: before the mainstream media picked it up, the blogosphere was making posts and writing to MPs about the Yourdkhani family which was detained in Texas. verbena19 appealed to various blogs to take action and got an excellent response.
DeSmogBlog already gets information from bloggers, who also link to it when discussing global warming topics. There should be ways to help this kind of web-making to grow. But a blog needs to keep attracting readers to take advantage of it.

True, none of this has worked for you so far, and Lord knows you've put in a mighty effort – but try harder!

…I am not the only one trying to make people open up their eyes and see the truth. But few listen, despite the fact that I was the first Canadian Ph.D. in Climatology and I have an extensive etc. Few listen, even though I have a Ph.D, (Doctor of Science) from the University of London, England and that for 32 years I was a Professor of Climatology at the University of Winnipeg. For some reason (actually for many), the World is not listening.

Ball's balls
- Déjà vu is parodying Dr. Tim Ball, who has it out for climate change activists and is giving you some problems.
- Why does Dr. Tim Ball chicken out of my invitation to tell Paul Crutzen to his face that he should have his Nobel Prize taken away?
- How is it that I can get Tim Ball onto the defensive, so that he pleads with me never to contact him again…And you guys can't get him out of intrusive/aggressive mode?
- How much does your self-censorship on the subject of geo-engineering have to do with the fact that we are ALL losing out to creeps like Dr. Tim Ball?
- Do you really deserve to be the leadership of the climate change movement?

Travis Alexander's ex-girlfriend says she called Jodi Arias a stalker.
Lisa Daidone (maiden name Andrews; pictured below) testified Wednesday that she based her opinion of Arias on things Alexander told her, and her personal experiences with Arias.
A lot of Daidone's testimony seemed to skirt this issue of whether she thought Arias was a stalker, but she told two stories that seemed to hint at stalking.
Daidone said that sometime around December 2007, Alexander was over at her house and her front door alarm went off. They couldn't figure out what happened, but she was scared enough to ask Alexander to spend the night.
Read more: Is Searcy stealing the spotlight in the Arias trial?
Daidone also told the jury about a time when she was visiting Alexander's house and Arias came in and saw them together in the kitchen then immediately ran out.
There was no mention of stalking until the end of her testimony when the jurors asked her questions, which is allowed in Arizona.
One of the jurors asked Daidone if she ever called Arias a stalker. Daidone said, "Yes."
Read more: Does Arias have a girlfriend behind bars?
There was another dramatic moment Wednesday when prosecutor Juan Martinez slammed a photo of Alexander with his throat slit on the overhead projector, and then tried to ask Daidone a question. The defense immediately objected as irrelevant, and the attorneys went to a sidebar.
One of Alexander's sisters immediately stormed out of the courtroom and other family members started to cry. Martinez resumed his questioning without the picture.
Martinez asked Daidone if any of Alexander's behavior ever warranted him having his throat slit. The defense objected again, and Daidone never answered the question.

LA HABRA, Calif., June 10 (UPI) -- The foreclosure auction of "Octomom" Nadya Suleman's California home was postponed for the fourth time, officials said.
The La Habra home was set to be auctioned Thursday on the steps of Orange City Hall, The Orange County (Calif.) Register reported.
The reason for the postponement was unclear, but a previous postponement in May was due to Suleman's father, part owner of the house, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in federal court.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house was first scheduled to be auctioned on April 30, but was delayed then because Suleman filed for bankruptcy at that time, prompting the first and second postponements.
Suleman's bankruptcy claim was rejected by a judge because she missed a deadline for filing paperwork.
Documents show Suleman owes more than $30,000 to Amer Haddadin, the previous owner of her home.
The Web site Realtor.com lists the estimated value of the house at $540,500.
Suleman became famous in 2009 when she gave birth to octuplets after already having six children, all conceived through fertility treatments.

He's been playing in China so he should be in shape. Good move since Stat and JJ have injury issues, sucks that it cost Billy his job. DG is a solid defender, won't give you many points other than some putbacks and dunks.
Anyways I feel sorry for Walker because I still think he is under rated and I think if he never got hurt this year he would of eventually had steady minutes during Fields' struggles.
Unfortunatly Skywalker needs to find a new home, watch out Miami doesn't get him, nice guy off the bench with athleticism and a 3 point shot that can get hot and torched the Heat in one game, no pun intended.
We need a big man and if the coaching staff does not trust the sluggish Josh Harrelson or the foul prone Jerome Jordan(who i think is better than people think) than getting Gadzuric is a nice pick up.
Gadzuric was a starter for the Bucks I believe and is known for his shot blocking so when Tyson comes out we have a guy with some ability to block shots and rebound and just do that. Big body with long arms and plays aggressive on defense, fine by me.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
Looks like Coach Woody is rolling up his sleeves and getting ready for the playoffs. Good move but sorry to see Walker go b4 the season ended.
IMO there is one particular advantage of bringing Gadzuric:
Its just so disappointing, this does most likely mean Jeffries is hurt worse then we know. One injury after another, its really too bad. I dont know if we'll be able to have a roster like this years again. I feel like if we had Lin, a healthy Amare, a healthy Jeffries we might have been able to do something this year. Where the f*cks our luck at?
is the hottie Gadzooks' girlie? niiiiiiiice.
I've been a fan of Gadzurik since his UCLA days, when he pretty much dominated the NCAA.
here's some background:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
he played pretty well for the Bucks, I remember him swatting some Knicks shots and bounding.
Bill Walker was not getting playing time, and he did nothing in the short stint he got recently.
with JR Smith on the team, there's absolutely no place for him, especially if he's not 100%.
if Jefferies is hurt worse than thought, this is a good move, but why o why is Jerome Jordan not getting run?
just don't understand, unless he blows in practice, because garbage time is the only time we see him.
we already scored with an NBA player from China doing good in the NBA,
perhaps our scouts see something Knicks can use in the playoffs?
it never hurts to have another big in this league.
This is exactly what worries me... once all the players mesh we would be one the leagues top teams, with a very deep bench.Its just so disappointing, this does most likely mean Jeffries is hurt worse then we know. One injury after another, its really too bad. I dont know if we'll be able to have a roster like this years again. I feel like if we had Lin, a healthy Amare, a healthy Jeffries we might have been able to do something this year. Where the f*cks our luck at?
Im still hopefull for a deep playoff run, I have a feeling all the players will come through and go hard in the post season.
Its hard for me to see a better roster next season.
Dan Gadzuric is a great post player that plays smart and above the rim. He is only 34 years old and is an excellent defender and is one of the best defensive big men IMO in the past 5 years. He can rebound like Shaq and defend like Howard. Don't know why more people aren't excited.

Topic: Use of sn attribute in iredmail/iredadmin LDAP
I've seen when creating a user thet on the ldif entry the attribute "sn" takes the uid field.
So if the user's mail is firstname.lastname@example.com then:
the uid attribute is: foo
the sn attribute is: foo
Additionaly the web gui (iredadmin pro) show a field "uid" which does not translates in modifying the "uid" attribute, but the employenumber.
So the questions are:
1) is it possibile to set the "sn" attribute to the "cn" (tipically: First Name Last Name)
2) is there a reason to set the "sn" to the uid ? is this required for some internal iredmail's component ?
3) why not updating uid field instead of "employenumber" via the iredadmin gui ?
Thx for help in advance

Company President Sheldon Graber, along with his brother Terry Graber and a group of investors set a new standard in entry level houseboats with the development of Myacht Houseboats in 1991(First Myacht Houseboat pictured left). After selling Myacht to another company, Sheldon felt the need for a houseboat that was built on a twin hull but was the next level of quality and design. Along with his brother Delmer Graber, they developed the new Destination Yachts which are very affordable yet have no shortcuts. Sheldon was instrumental in the formation of the Houseboat Industry Association. The purpose of this group is to bring all Manufacturers, rental operators and vendors in the houseboat industry together to work on common goals. In the past, Sheldon has served on the board of directors of the Houseboat Industry Association.

Blackburn: Obama overestimating power on fiscal cliff deal
President Barack Obama is overestimating his power in current negotiations with Congress about how to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) said Sunday.
"The president thinks he has momentum. I think he's running on adrenaline from the campaign," Blackburn said on CNN's "State of the Union."
Blackburn, who's been selected to serve as vice chair of the House Energy and Commerce in the next Congress, insisted that voters had reaffirmed their confidence in Republican leadership in the House last November.
"We won the House," she noted.
However, CNN host Candy Crowley observed that Republicans lost the presidential race, lost seats in the Democratic-controlled Senate, and lost seats in the House, though retaining GOP control.
"You lost seats," Crowley said.
"We did," acknowledged Blackburn. However, she said those ignoring mushrooming spending and ballooning entitlement programs are the ones with their heads in the sand. "You can not be practicing escapism and not putting these issues on the table," she said.

But with encouragement from her school counselor, who saw her drive and dedication, she enrolled in a state college in Pennsylvania, where her eligibility hinged on her maintaining a 2.5 grade point average. As a student, she also received her first laptop.
"That laptop changed my life," Bobe told an audience during last Saturday's National Day of Civic Hacking in Palo Alto. "It allowed me to go online."
By browsing the Web in her dorm room, she was able to catch up with her classmates and learn the computer basics. She majored in applied statistics and graduated with honors. Today, Bobe works with Black Girls CODE, an organization that has tutored 1,200 girls in robotics and programming. Communities in 50 different cities signed petitions asking for the group's tutoring services. The group is also looking to bring its services, including bilingual workshops, abroad to Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico and South Africa.
"Once you work with girls and see how lives are changing, you don't want to stop," Bobe said.
But even with the recent successes, girl coders don't have to look far to see the barriers separating them from their dreams. Black Girls CODE have been getting plenty of praise for their work, from cities, from communities and from politicians in Sacramento and Washington D.C., Bobe said. But the money that would allow the group to expand just hasn't been there, she said. The group is hoping to raise $100,000 to expand its efforts.
"Everyone loves us, but the money isn't there," Bobe said.
Her frustrations are illustrative of a greater trend in Silicon Valley and other tech hubs. Diversity and inclusiveness may be popular concepts in the abstract, but as anyone who has seen "Social Network," attended a typical hackathon or browsed the industry's latest Who's Who list, can testify hacking remains by and large a male-dominated world.
Kelly Hoey, CEO of Women Innovate Mobile, noted that if the hundreds of startups that received funding from Y Combinator, a provider of seed funding, only 4 percent were founded by women. Hoey is hoping to change that through her company, known as an "accelerator." Founded in 2011, Women Innovate Mobile provides what Hoey calls a "greenhouse" environment that allows women developers to obtain leadership positions in the tech world.
Hoey said she has seen plenty of bright women hackers enter into the tech world only to be relegated to "help desk" roles once hired. That's not good enough, she said. What's needed is more female CFOs, CTOs, CIOs, and CEOs. Perhaps a female Zuckerberg or two.
"We need to identify them and mentor them and advise them and provide them with opportunities so that they are successful," Hoey said. "They want to see someone within their grasp that's being successful."
Hoey was one of dozens of technologists — mostly women — who were scattered Saturday afternoon at the AT&T Foundry on Homer Street. Some slumped solo in armchairs and coded away. Others gathered in teams in well-lighted conference rooms, with each team working on a particular project. Alex Donn, senior marketing manager at AT&T and organizer of the event, said most of the hackathons he's been involved in are male-dominated, with women making up about 5 percent. During Saturday's hackathon, which he helped coordinate, males were a minority for a change, making up about a tenth of the roughly 90 participants.
In one conference room, seven programmers (one of them a guy) were playing with worms — the kinds that slither inside a compost box, not the kind that replicate themselves inside a hacked computer. Three subcommittees were toiling away next to whiteboards filled with indecipherable hacker wisdom. One dealt with design; another focused on data; the third worked on interface. Their program allows users to monitor the temperature and condition of their compost boxes through their cell phones.
Brenda Jin, who came up with the concept, said she has just learned about the sensor technology and thought composting would be great way to put this technology to use.
In another room, a group of coders was designing "Shove," a web application that would allow users to become matchmakers for their Facebook friends. The site is a brainchild of Nicole Chiu-Wang, an attorney who recently got married and who is trying to come up with a new way to set up her single friends. Dating websites, she said, aren't very reliable. Facebook, meanwhile, narrows the pool and adds the comfort of familiarity to the daunting dating process.
"I'm always setting up my single friends," Chiu-Wang said. "Some are more willing than others."
For Hoey, the teams gathered at the Foundry aren't the only hopeful signs for women in technology. She pointed to Etsy, a website for buying and selling crafts, which increased the number of its female developers by 500 percent. Other women are launching startups and organizing hackathons with civic overtones — a far cry from the pizza-and-Red Bull all-night affairs made famous by Facebook and its ilk.
One such event is being spearheaded by Danielle Gould, CEO of Food+Tech Connect, a research and networking that brings hackers together to solve food-related problems. The hackathon, titled Hack/Meat Silicon Valley, will bring together "steakholders" — including hackers, butchers, farmers, designers and food executives — to work on problems relating to food sustainability. The hearty to-do list includes helping small farmers operate more profitably, improving supply-chain communications, promoting supply-chain transparency and improving animal health. The event will be held from June 21 to June 23 at the Institute of Design at Stanford University.
Gould said that while most hackathons she's been involved in still have a male majority, the ratio isn't too drastic, somewhere in the 60-40 range. And in the last two years or so, a number of food-related startups have emerged, led by women. Her event, she said, is different from most hackathons because it will involve meetings between food experts, technology mentors and developers before any hacking actually takes place.
"Hackers don't start building anything until 3 or 4 p.m because they spend the morning really interviewing 'steakholders,' trying to get a better understanding," Gould said. "So when they start to ideate and come up with solutions, they have a better understanding of the problems."
In addition to coming up with food solutions, the hackathon will have another benefit, Hoey said. It will offer female developers "an opportunity to work in an environment that is different from the locker room, ego-driven kind of environment" that is familiar to hackathon veterans.
"It will allow them to have access to extraordinary mentors and tech advisors that some of these women might not off-hand have access to," Hoey said. "No one is going to be creating the next LinkedIn or next Cisco out of this. But you can have technologies that immediately go and solve problems."

It looks like the Route 50 Bridge resurfacing project will be completely finished before the Cruisin' event kicks off on Thursday. As a matter of fact, one of the newly paved westbound lanes was opened for traffic earlier this week. This is good news because these 5,000 or so classic car fanatics deserve a year of decent roads. During the previous two years' events, the Cruisers have dealt with the pain of the Coastal Highway repaving projects. A third straight year of road havoc may have kept some of the valuable visitors away in future years, and that would be bad news for the local business community because they have made this May weekend one of the busiest of the year outside the six-week stretch from Fourth of July through the White Marlin Open in August.
Most Realtors in the area agree if a property is priced right, it has a chance of selling in today's market with a little bit of patience. Along those lines, word is the Perdue penthouse atop the Pyramid has finally been sold after being on the market for more than 13 months. I attended a benefit in this unit years ago and it was quite the spot with an amazing view and rooftop access. It featured more than 4,000 square feet of living space, two kitchens, four bedrooms and four baths and was exquisitely decorated. It reportedly sold for $1.8 million after being originally listed for $3.2 million in March of 2007.
Times are tight everywhere, even for the Mint, the federal agency responsible for fabricating the dollars and cents Americans use each day. The AP reported this week it now costs 1.26 cents to create a penny and 7.7 cents to make a nickel. It seems the high cost of metal is driving the increases. A penny consists of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper, and the nickel is 75-percent copper and the rest the metal by which it gets its name. The report points out each time the government makes a penny or nickel it's contributing to the national debt. While the nickel has been immune from such talk, the rising cost of producing the penny has led some to believe the government should do away with it altogether. I would not miss it, but my gut says the penny will never go away. It seems to me the government's obvious recourse is to downgrade the quality of the metal used until prices return to normal levels.
I came across an interesting survey this week titled AAA's Annual Vacation Costs Survey, which calculated the average travel budget for two adults traveling in the U.S. is $244 per day for lodging and meals. The average cost for lodging came to $164 per night with $80 being used as a standard cost for meals, excluding tips and beverages. In Maryland, AAA found the average price for lodging and meals is approximately $258/day. Here's some of the high-end vacation destinations reported: Honolulu, $673 per day; New York City, $606; Miami, $370; San Diego, $361; and Las Vegas, $358. Where would Ocean City fall? Of course, it would depend on the season and visitor preference, but I think a couple could vacation in Ocean City for the state average of $258 per day. It may not be staying at an oceanfront hotel, eating at a fine-dining restaurant or drinking fruity drinks at a pool bar, but it could be done.
61: That's how many dollars it took to fill up the 17-gallon tank in my truck on Wednesday. That's a stinger. With gas prices showing no signs of leveling off, I hope Ocean City has worked the high price of gasoline into its marketing campaign this year. The message you can drive from the metropolitan area to Ocean City and back on one tank of gas needs to be heard loud and clear. There is no better time than now to spread the word to those who don't realize it.
On page 1C is a special 'Things We Like". It appears each week Amy Doerzbach reads my "Things I Like" to her preschool class, Pony Watchers of West Ocean City, comprised of 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds. They got in the act this week with their own submissions and deserve a look.

Man, can this guy fuck! The woman on the other hand doesn't do much, but lay there and just take it. It would have been more exciting if she was an active participant. I was worried when I first saw the beginning and they were covered up with the blanket for a while, but they were uncovered at 1:40.
Ladies it's easy to get us to fuck so hard and fast. Fuck and then go for it again not long after. Me and my ex did it, I can't cum again for about 20-30 mins after so I can fuck like crazy for ages till shoot again. Try it let me know if it helps. Happy fucking ladies :o)

If you girls out there want a real treat like this stud, then hang out near a military base. These airmen, soldiers, Navy men or Marines are lonely...and most of all, physically FIT to the max! The guy I hooked up with had tremendous stamina and we fucked ALL night LONG...and it WAS a LONG one too!!! This guy in the vid knew what he was doing with his tool and made it seem it was a jackhammer! More power to him. So, arrange a vacation near a military base and ENJOY! They will CUM to you in a bar and make the moves. Just settle back and enjoy to the FULLEST!

Hello, there. I'm Elizabeth. I am completely and totally obsessed with Harry Potter. I am also a figure skater, which I love, even though it can be a tad frustrating at times. I also love to play the piano and French horn/mellophone, listen to music, go on the computer, be outdoors in really nice weather (did I mention how much I love summer? =D), and, of course, hang out with my friends.
And I just thought I'd mention that my absolute favorite ship ever is Tom/Ginny.
The first three chapters of my very first fan fiction, "Falling for an Eternity", are up! =D Please read and review! It's on hiatus for now, and I don't know if I will be finishing it...there are just so many issues with the plot and characters and whatnot that I don't have the time or energy necessary to deal with. Sorry =(
Well, that's all for now. Ciao!

| Topic: My thoughts on 9/11, ten years later...
Posted: 10 September 2011 at 9:36am
I've been thinking for about a week on the upcoming tenth anniversary of the attacks on America. I knew more what I didn't want to say than what I did. Billions of words have been written about the events of 9/11. The loss of life, the heroic efforts of the first responders, the sense of nationalism that swept the Country around that time. The lens through which Islam would be viewed through going forward. The causes. The conspiracy theories. Etc. If its remotely connected to that day, there's no shortage of content on the internet that's available. A Google search on "September 11th" and "911" produces over 256 Million returns in less than one second. Using the same search terms on Amazon.com, over 11 thousand returns appeared.
Should I have just skipped it? That didn't seem right either. Here's what I came up with...
My thoughts on the tenth Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks:
Nationalism is not always good...
Islam is not always bad...
I am an American and I love my Country. I am eternally glad I was born here than anywhere else. That said, if I were from Scotland or Canada or Japan or Israel or Syria, I'm guessing I would probably feel the same way. Would I necessarily want to live in those countries is another matter entirely. Economics play a big part in that kind of thing, so to leave your homeland for economic gain hardly cancels one's feelings toward a homeland. Yes, I felt swelled with a sense of nationalism on 9/11. Like many others, I went out to the store that day and purchased a flag. The biggest flag I could hang off of my front porch. That was the thing to do that day for guys like me. We donated to the Red Cross. We followed the news as things unfolded. I added an extra patriotic song to my performances. It wasn't much. It wasn't profound. It's just what I did.
What I didn't do that day, unlike a few of my fellow Ohioans, was to drive to the nearest Mosque and shoot at it. The thought never occurred to me. I'm quite glad for that, because I would've felt rather disgusting if it had. As I watched the images on TV of some in the Middle East dancing and celebrating in the streets, it bothered me. The first reaction was...

All the events are just red herrings to get as many people on the road to bondage and serfdom!
The event like 911 had to happen in order to setup a Ponzi scheme to rob the world of Trillions of Dollars, Euros & Rials or whatever by the mammon worshipers aka banksters...This was happening while US and allies are fighting two full fledged wars on people who had nothing to do with 911?
Not everyone's relative died in 911 but everyone living in the US is burdened with the liability of thousands of dollars that thievery by the bankers through the tax and spend system have created... and that of course going to kill a lot more through misery.
Did anyone ever think that America will be a debtor nation to of all places a communist China in a decade?
The POTUS will be fighting the congress to beg for higher debt ceiling to pay the bills? People leaving their homes cuz they can't pay their mortgages they signed in rush for the so called the American dream. And that dream is fading fast and it happened in the cloud of 911. As the debt stands every American child to senior citizen is indebted to the debtors for $50K. As the rule goes the borrower has less respect and power with each passing day and this happened after the financial center of the country was attacked by an unconventional method. Then the financial center attacked the American and the rest of grieving world with their unconventional method aka sub prime loans, the derivatives and securities of no value with short selling and other parts of Ponzi scheme.
And no one has brains and guts to question those people who have gotten away withe heist of the history.
Only a red herring likes of 911 could help do that! I don't know whether it was planned that way but it sure raises some pointed questions
And only the bankers have the power to create money and the brains to devise that and whoever comes in front becomes a road kill!
The involvement of Arabs and by association other Muslims in this has just made their job doubly difficult when they were hardly qualified to do any bridge building in first place. They are very good in talking but the talking time is gone it is time to get to work and a hard one at that.

You can never justify the actions of those in the ME who danced and partied in the streets when America was attacked in a premeditated, vicious and devastating assault against CIVILIANS only......no military involved. Men, women, and children from 175 countries attacked in the most horrendous manner by men from the ME. It changed the world forever! Just go to an airport to see what chaos it has created!! I have forgiveness in my heart, as Jesus Christ instructed us to have.....but I will never forget what a world changing act these ME men committed. NO, I will never forget. And, NO, you will not change this topic to appear to be a conspiracy theory. I lost friends in this act. People I knew and loved. I'll always remember them, their kindness, their love for humanity.....and I'll never forget how those hate mongers from the ME destroyed their futures and took them away from us.

Signreader, your post is enough to make any decent, moral, upright, and kind person vomit. It is people such as yourself who do great damage to muslims who are trying to do what is right in this world....but YOU are just a hate mongerer! You dig up fantasties of which you know nothing. Your claims repulse me and millions of other good people!

AgnesDei/ Lamb of God/Patiamiagner or Pati
You have come to Ic under so many usernames that makes me wonder: what is you agenda anyways...
I think it is just being a nuisance under the pretext of Catholicity!
It is obvious you have major comprehension issues in your second childhood and I feel for it.
I never justified the dumb dancers in ME, they are mentally challenged so far I am concerned.
Nowhere did I applaud the knuckleheads dancing in the streets. So cut the nonsense out.
You or anyone else doesn't have to forget anything, it happened and that is fact...Who did that were mostly Saudis not Afghanis or Iraqis and that is a fact.
And high ranking people in Admin'n lied and that is a fact too.Colin Powell regrets
At least he owned up his mistake which cost million death and trillions $ wasted for black gold!
When people in the high office lie through their teeth there a conspiracy shadows lurking around them I don't need to say it.
All I know is what happened was a horrific act. period
You claim to have direct link to Jesus get more facts and bring them down for us. LOL
For a person of mentally challenged state it is absolutely impossible to see and understand the economic disaster the banksters have wrought on the dumb Americans in general and the world in particular since the event in 2001 through subprime and the securities fraud. Are you even qualified to discuss the subject?
I am sorry, you don't know what you are talking about.

Just reading your illiterate and hatefilled post only proves my point. You are quite adept at insulting any non-muslim. Where did I state I have a direct line to Jesus?? I do, but only through prayer. For the record I am certainly not mentally challenged, and Americans are not dumb. Your own words are the reason many people in the civilized world are fed up with Muslims.....because they read and hear so many discriminatory, insulting, and inflamatory comments just like yours. You do not want peace.....you want domination. You, and others who believe and speak with such disgusting language, do more to harm the religion of Islam than any other force on earth. You are to be shunned.

Sitepoint Members,Search engines view http and http versions of your site as two different websites, creating duplicate content of your site which lowers your search engine ranking. I found that my site appears to google as having duplicate content as https pages. Why, I don't know becayse i don't have ssl installed on my account.
The most often written about way to deal with this is to serve a different robots.txt for HTTPShttp://blog.leonardchallis.com/seo/serve-a-different-robots-txt-for-https/http://www.seoworkers.com/seo-articles-tutorials/robots-and-https.htmlhttp://www.seosandwitch.com/2012/08/http-and-https-in-seo-what-to-do.html
Another site said to use canonical links on every preffered pagehttp://www.creare.co.uk/http-vs-https-duplicate-content
aaand the same site also gave this php code<?phpif (isset($SERVER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on') {echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />'. "\";}?>
I guess it goes in the head just as the meta tags for no index no follow do.
Is there anything I should worry about with this code?
I put that code in. In vew source nothng of the code shows. Shoud it show?
It should only show if:
isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on'
Otherwise nothing will be displayed and you must assume one or the other is off or both are not on.
Are you saying code should show in view source if HTTPS is turned on, if https is not turned on nothing will show in view source and if ... then I was completely lost with "one or the other is off". What are the two things that can be off, https and what else?
Yes both need to be on to display the code otherwise nothing is displayed
What do you mean by your use of "both"? Secure http (httpS) and regular http?
The code you posted will display this in your page:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />
If the URL is HTTPS.So, if you go to your site in HTTPS moe: https://www.yoursite.comand you check the source, you should see this:
If you browse to your site without HTTPS : http://www.yoursite.comThe code shouldn't appear.
It tells Google to "not index the current page" and to "not follow the links inside the page".This should do the trick, it will just take a couple of days / weeks for Google to remove the pages from its indexes.
I see. I don't think the PHP will work because I don't have SSL installed.What I have in the htaccess is
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatchRewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite\\.com/404.html [R=301,L]RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$RewriteRule ^robots\.txt$ robots_ssl\.txt [L]
but this doesn't seem to work for my site becuase for months now google has had 20 or more https pages lister for my non https site.
When you go to your site with HTTPS in the URL with your browser, does it work or not?
I'm really not an expert in .htaccess, but it seems that it would redirect all HTTPs traffic to your 404 page. Is that it? With a 301 error. Which is.. not that good I guess? Who is hosting your site? Can't you ask them to disable the HTTPs? ..
When I type in https for a page for my site I get a "This Connection is Untrusted" from firefox. If I choose "I Understand The Risks" it takes me to the full a non https address, meaning that the site is not the main site of my account (but is is the largest by a 100 fold), takes me to http://thesiteimworkingonnow[B].[/B]mymainsiteofmyaccount[B].[/B]com.
The codeRewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 443RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://mysite\\.com/404.html [R=301,L]
was written by my webhost
To me it means anything coming through the 443 port (443 is for SSL/https) send to a 404 page
The rest of the code
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^443$RewriteRule ^robots\.txt$ robots_ssl\.txt [L]
was also written by my webhost.
To me it means everything else (e.g. coming through port 80) send to that second robots.txt page which is
User-agent: *Disallow: /
Which is how its done on this pagehttp://www.seosandwitch.com/2012/08/http-and-https-in-seo-what-to-do.html
but why would I want to send robots coming through port 80 toUser-agent: *Disallow: /(disallow all robots)
Wouldn't that stop all robots coming through non httpS ports (^443), such as port 80, from crawling my site.
All I'm trying to do is stop robots from coming through the httpS port because I don't want them reporting that I have httpS pages. If they can't get through the 443 port they have nothing to report.
Forget Above, I Was Cut Off By The 30 Minute Limit
To me it means anything coming through the 443 port (SSL/https traffic ) send to a 404 page
To me it means everything else,^, (e.g. coming through port 80) send to Not, ^, my regular robots.txt page but rather that second robots.txr page., which is
Wouldn't that stop all robots coming through port 80, from crawling my site. I would think the second 2 lines of code should be removed.
Well, if you are redirected to a URL without HTTPS when you go to an HTTPS address, then the same will happen to Google. It's probably just that Google didn't cleaned its index yet. You could try to remove it yourself with Google webmaster tools:https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
Unfortunately the https pages don't exist so there's no removing them from my site.
It doesn't matter if it "exists" or not. If it's in Google's indexes, it existed somehow. The procedure to remove a page from Google's indexes with webmaster tools is exactly for pages that don't exist anymore. Did you try it?
Google W. won't take anything but http. In its webmaster tools choose Index and then Remove URLs and where it says, "Enter the URL that you'd like to remove (case-sensitive)" If you enter, for example, https://abc, what comes back is http://mysite.com/https://abc. Google's webmaster tools has been useless for this problem.
Well, I never tested it with https so I'll take your word for it. That's weird.Anyway, if you can't access the HTTPs page, Google should remove it from its index eventually. Maybe you could try to ask on a SEO forum. I think your problem isn't related to PHP anymore.
Where is the SEO forum? I couldn't find it, unless you're talking about CMS stuff. My site is not run on any sort of program.
There are a lot of SEO resources online. SEO means Search Engine Optimization. There are forums dedicated only for SEO (not on sitepoint but looking on Google for "SEO Forum" will give you a bunch of links).
I thought you meant an SEO forum on Sitepoint. I'm surprised they don't have an SEO forum.

Internet Crimes Led to Long Jail Sentences in 2013
Jan 11, 2014 5:00 AM PT
With all the headlines about Internet cybersecurity breaches, there seem to be few headlines about the consequences for cybercriminals.
That is because not all cybercriminals are caught, and when they are it often takes months, if not years, before trials. Even when the cybercriminals plead guilty, the sentencing phase often occurs months after the trial. As a result, the public is rarely aware of what happens to the criminals for their Internet crimes.
In fact, in 2013 there were dozens of trials and Internet criminals were sentenced to jail, hopefully sending a strong message that there are stiff penalties for Internet crime. Here is a small sampling of the consequences for Internet criminals sentenced in 2013.
Hacker Sells Secrets to the FBI and Gets 18 Months in Jail
A member of the Underground Intelligence Agency pled guilty for hacking "into multiple corporate, university and government computer networks ... including access to supercomputers from a U.S. national security laboratory," as reported by Computerworld.
Andrew Miller, 24, reportedly pled guilty in August 2013 to one count of conspiracy and two counts of computer fraud for actions committed between 2008 and 2011. The FBI presented evidence that Miller:
- Asked an undercover FBI agent for US$50,000 in 2011 in exchange for access to two supercomputers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory; and
- Claimed to have hacked into servers from American Express, Yahoo, Google, Adobe, WordPress, Cisco, Harvard University and the University of California at Davis as well as accessed sensitive U.S. government networks from agencies including NASA, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratory.
Although Miller faced a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and $500,000 in fines, U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf of Massachusetts followed the U.S. Attorney's recommendation and sentenced Miller to only 18 months in jail after hearing Miller's plea for clemency because "he was very sorry for his actions, is seeing a psychiatrist for depression, and is needed at home to help care for his mother, who is very ill."
Two Romanians Sentenced for Stealing $27.5 Million
In September 2013, Romanian Adrian-Tiberiu Oprea, 29, was sentenced to serve 15 years in prison and Iulian Dolan, 28, also of Romania, was sentenced to serve seven years in prison by the U.S. District Court in New Hampshire because of hacking they did between 2009 to 2012 into several hundred U.S. merchants' POS systems, including 250 Subway restaurant franchises. The two also stole payment card data belonging to more than 100,000 U.S. cardholders.
As noted in the charges filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in the case:
Oprea and Dolan remotely hacked into hundreds of U.S. merchants' point-of-sale (POS) or "check out" computer systems, where customers' payment card data was electronically stored. Specifically, Oprea, who was the leader of the scheme, and Dolan, who was his trusted aide, first used the Internet to identify U.S.-based vulnerable POS systems. After identifying a vulnerable system, Oprea and Dolan would gain access and install software programs called "keystroke loggers" (or "sniffers") onto the POS systems. These programs would record, and then store, all of the data that was keyed into or swiped through the merchants' POS systems, including customers' payment card data.
Both were extradited to the U.S. to stand charges and pled guilty.
5-Year Sentence for Copyright Infringement of Movies via the Internet
Many people assume that copyright infringement is only a civil wrong, but that is not true. In August 2012, Jeramiah Perkins, 40, pled guilty to conspiracy to commit criminal copyright infringement. As the leader of a number of other defendants for the same crime, he was sentenced in January 2013 to 5 years in jail and 3 years of supervised release as well as being ordered to pay $15,000 in restitution.
Other defendants also pled guilty to these changes and received long jail sentences as well.
Perkins admitted that he rented servers in France, among other places, to operate IMAGiNE Group, which made illegal copies of motion pictures and then sold them. The Motion Picture Association of America presented evidence to the U.S. District Judge in Virginia that "the IMAGiNE Group constituted the most prolific motion picture piracy release group operating on the Internet from September 2009 through September 2011."
Hacker Sentenced to 10 years in Prison
In November 2013, 28-year-old Jeremy Hammond was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The sentence, announced by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, was for Hammond's role in, among other hacks, the December 2011 hack of Strategic Forecasting Inc. ("Stratfor") that affected hundreds of thousands of victims, including employees and subscribers. Further, Hammond and his co-conspirators also stole credit card information for roughly 60,000 credit card users and used some of the stolen data to make more than $700,000 in unauthorized charges.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara stated:
As he admitted through his plea of guilty, Jeremy Hammond launched a series of computer hacks that stole confidential information pertaining to companies, law enforcement agencies and thousands of innocent individuals. His sentence underscores that computer hacking is a serious offense with damaging consequences for victims, and this Office is committed to punishing the perpetrators of such crimes.
Hammond also admitted his involvement in 2011 hacks into computer systems used by the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Virtual Academy, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, Brooks-Jeffrey Marketing, various law enforcement-related websites, Special Forces Gear, Vanguard Defense Industries, the Jefferson County, Ala., Sheriff's Office, and the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association.
At his sentencing Hammond defended his actions by arguing that they were "altruistic" and that he never personally used the credit card data he stole.
The Conclusion
Crime does not pay, but perhaps Internet criminals think that they cannot be caught.
Given the efforts of police agencies around the world, however, Internet criminals continue to be caught and prosecuted.


text: Telecommunications Advanced Advertising Strategies T441, 11237, Gantz, W. This course is designed to provide a detailed examination of the development, execution, and assessment of advertising campaigns on the electronic and print media. It is designed to offer insights into the process as well as offer an opportunity to integrate the principles acquired. This course is geared to students who already have been introduced to the theories, principles, and procedures associated with advertising, primarily in the United States. It expands on principles introduced in T340: Electronic Media Advertising, a prerequisite for this course for TC majors. Course content will cover the planning, placement, creative, and evaluation elements in advertising campaigns. These elements will be examined from the perspectives of the major players in the game: advertisers, ad agencies, and commercial media outlets, including the internet. In addition to offering insights into contemporary theories and practices associated with advertising strategies, T441 offers the opportunity to apply what students have been learning: Students will be responsible for designing and justifying an entire integrated advertising/communications campaign. In addition to texts and assigned readings (on e-reserve), students also are required to look at each issue of Advertising Age for information relevant to the material covered in the course. T441 will utilize a variety of evaluation techniques: exams, written homework assignments, a group project (to be written as well as presented in class) and general class participation. There will be three exams, each covering the material presented in class, the readings, and the homework assignments. There will be four individual, graded assignments. These require conceptual and/or practical applications of course materials. The first assignment involves developing a situation analysis for a product. The second calls on students to define target markets and media for a product using a valued marketing database. The third assignment involves the selection and placement of emphasis on appropriate media for a particular product. This necessitates understanding the strengths and limitations of various media as applied to the specifics of the product being considered. The final assignment deals with media planning. Here, students will be asked to developed and defend a media plan, one that includes the selection, scheduling, and weighting of media classes. Different products, services, or issues will be used with each assignment. In addition to these graded assignments, there are likely to be several individual, ungraded assignments which everyone is expected to complete. The final assignment will be a group project. Here, generally in groups of six people, students will develop and present a plan for an entire advertising campaign. Group assignments will be on a random basis. This project is the culmination of the content and skills acquired in both T340 and this course. Ample justification and documentation for each decision is expected. Formal presentations–which count in the industry–also will be evaluated. The product and parameters will be the same across groups. This will permit the class to evaluate alternative approaches to the same product and advertising problem. In order to maximize fairness across groups, groups will present their proposals on the same day Each group will be present during that entire period. Each student is required to attend as well as to present with their group. To see which requirements, in the College of Arts and Sciences, this course will fulfill consult the College Bulletin at http://www.indiana.edu/~bulletin/iub/coas/2006-2008/.
