New York City
Map by snapdoodle & Benny Profane
Guide by Dako
The NYC map is based on New York City's five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and the Bronx) and its world-famous metro.
It is a large map containing 80 regions - 65 of them are land regions, 15 are subway stations. There are 14 bonus zones in the city. 9 of the borough bonus zones can be combined into larger bonuses that give you a few more reinforcement troops than the sum of the smaller bonus zones. The 3 subways that run across the city are bonus zones in their own right and provide extra assault routes, providing connections between distant parts of the map. The final bonus zone is a collection of 4 small islands. You need to hold 3 or 4 of the islands to receive one of two possible bonuses.
This is a versatile map, good for any settings, but for the most even and balanced gameplay I'd recommend team games of quadruples or triples with no spoils and chained reinforcements.

Last night we went to see Wes Anderson's new film Moonrise Kingdom. I swear I've been waiting for it to come out for agggess, & it was really so lovely. As always, it looked so beautiful.
I really loved the dress that Suzy wore. She had the same shape in loads of colours. I am definitely going to be making one this week. I wish I was that cool when I was 12 (I think I had short ginger hair cut & wore big baggy jeans)
(images from Google)
This week I have to make sew about 300 metres of jubilee bunting in 2 days.
Oh dear!

The St. Louis Blues are officially headed to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
With the Phoenix Coyotes' 4-2 loss to the Boston Bruins on Saturday night, the Blues have clinched a spot in the postseason for the third consecutive season and 38th time in franchise history.
Currently, the Blues have a 47-16-7 record (101 points).
With 12 games remaining in the regular season, the Blues are battling for the top spot in the NHL, which would give them home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs.
This will mark the Blues' fourth playoff appearance in the last nine seasons. The Blues previously reached the playoffs in 25 consecutive years from 1979 to 2004.

Learn how to cure potatoes in this free video on home gardening.
Today we are going to talk about how to plant, grow and harvest potatoes. Now we have our potatoes. They are not quite ready to eat. We want them to dry for a little bit and you want to be gentle with them too. The skin is very soft and you want to try avoid rubbing it off which you could do very easily. So what I do is very gently take the potato and you see a little skin came off. That's okay and just brush it off with your hand. Don't wash them. I don't like using a brush and just clean them up a little bit nice and gentle and take off that little stem and you get the idea. What I do and this is very important is I put them in a bag or a box. The point is you don't want them to be exposed to the sunlight too long. Like I said before they are going to turn green and that is going to ruin them. Put them in the garage or porch out of the sunlight. That works. A bag or a box and keep them out of the direct sunlight. Once they are cured, you can put a brush to them and clean them off real nice. Give them about 10 days to 2 weeks to cure and they are ready to eat for baking, mashing or whatever you want to do. Have fun and enjoy.

Capt. Joel Dales of the 14th Police District asked for the public's help in identifying suspects in two recent burglaries at a crime summit meeting held last night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Norwood-Fontbonne Academy, 8900 Norwood Ave.
According to Dales, from June 5 to June 18 a total of 14 residential burglaries occurred in Police Service Areas (PSA) 3 and 4, which cover Chestnut Hill and areas in Mt. Airy. Police said in two of the burglaries, the description of the offenders was similar.
The first burglary occurred on the 400 block of West Moreland Street at 2:40 p.m. on June 5. According to police two suspects were seen in the area at the time of the burglary. Police describe the first offender as a tall African American male with a dark complexion. The second suspect is described as a thin African American male with a dark complexion. A black Chevy Trailblazer was seen in the area during the time of the burglary.
The second burglary occurred at 2 p.m. on June 15 on the 1000 block of W. Allens Lane. According to police the three suspects are all African American males between the ages of 16 and 20 years old. A black Chevy Trailblazer was caught on video in the area during the time of the burglary.
"We're working – we want you to work with us," Dales said.
The crime summit meeting was sponsored by the Chestnut Hill Community Association and West Moreland Town Watch to address a series of recent burglaries in the neighborhood and to create a forum to educate and inform the community.
Attending the meeting in addition to Dales were Capt. Winton Singletary, commanding officer of the Northwest Detective Division, Debra Naish, of the District Attorney's Office, Officers Stephen Arbiz and Rodney Brown.
More than 100 residents turned out to voice their concerns and find out what steps the police are taking to combat the recent increase in burglaries in the neighborhood. Several residents reported incidents of people knocking on doors asking for someone they didn't know. Other concerns included a slow response time, a lack of communication and a lack of police presence in the community.
Dales addressed the complaint of a lack of police presence by stating that currently two police officers – a foot beat officer and an undercover officer – have been patrolling the neighborhood for the last four months in an effort to decrease crime. He added that arrest rates in the 14th District were up by 58 percent.
Dales encouraged residents to be vigilant and proactive. He urged residents to form or join Town Watch. Dales offered some simple steps to help prevent burglaries and thefts:
- Don't announce you're going on vacation on Facebook, Twitter or other social media.
- Stop mail from coming to your house or ask a neighbor to pick it up.
- Ask a neighbor to park his or her car in your driveway.
- Install an alarm system and make sure the security company calls the police first not your house.
- Install motion sensors on the second floor, burglars often use lawn chairs and other items to climb in through the second floor window.
- Install a video surveillance system and face a camera towards the street.
- Have someone come in and out of your house to check.
- Call Police Officer Hall, the 14th district crime prevention officer, at 215-685-2148 to have a home or business security survey done.
- Lock your windows and doors. Thieves often slip in a unlocked door and grab a laptop or other item.
- Secure your air conditioner..
- Don't leave laptops, GPS, cell phone or other items in automobile.
Dales also encouraged people to join iWatch and SafeCam, two new crime prevention initiatives. IWatch allows citizens to report crime and suspicious activity anonymously by downloading a free application to their Smart Phones. SafeCam allows residents and businesses to register their security camera to the police's surveillance network.
He asked people to trust their instinct.
"Know who your neighbors are," Dales said. "Call the police if you see someone acting suspiciously."
Hannelore Barbieri, a Chestnut Hill resident, said the meeting was very informative.
"I like being in the loop," Barbieri said. "I would like to know more about [crime] trends in the neighborhood."
Another Chestnut Hill resident, Barbara Spaeth commented on the number of residents who attended the meeting.
"There was a good turnout," Spaeth said. "It means a lot to police when people show up in large numbers."
Dorothy Potash, who helped organized the crime summit, said people need to know what the police are doing to combat crime in their neighborhood. She added that knowing what is happening "behind the scenes" makes "people feel more secure."
Potash felt that there was an absence of public officials at the meeting, even though representatives from Councilwoman Cindy Bass and the Mayor's Office were invited.
"We understand resources are tight but we need meet to discuss confines of what we're dealing with and what they are doing," Potash said. "Communication is key."
Dales encouraged residents to attend the next PSA 4 Meeting, which will be held on June 27 at 7 p.m.
Editor's note: The original version of this story misspelled Captain Dales last name as Dale.

I guess one thing that is important to see is that the theists almost always have a 'light' inside that is part of the faith-thing and its put there by parents at young age,cozy with mum and dad and JESUS! Its a terrible thing, 'be a god boy/girl or...'. But comforted at the same time thru genuin love by the same parents -you know "there wont be no santa if you dont..." But on existensiell level (why are we lying the santa thing by the way?-lie to kidz?)...Its a diffucult (cult hi hi) stone to move cause
its is emotionel deep and COULD be important for the person to keep it all together. Therefore the anger when touched....The concept 'barnatro' -child-faith - is known here in Scandinavia.
Any thoughts?
Views: 792
Do you mean to say that their faith brings them comfort? That's certainly true and Christopher Hitchens talked about it at length when he visited Google in California to talk about his book God is not Great.
Many of the faithful here in the United States have a very difficult time thinking rationally about questioning their faith because they erroneously tie said faith with their very identity. Sometimes the only way to communicate reason to them is subtly and indirectly. For others, it's pretty much impossible to communicate reason.
Apologies if I'm not fully understanding your message. My Swedish is terrible!
No, i belive that the faith-parents are fusing the real comfort from them with the msg on the faith as they themself was mistreated once and so the terrible thing travel yet another generation. And often many atheists seem to have revolted -rightly so- against this fuse.
How to break this?
I think your thoghts was very interesting. Education in critical thinking (that is NOT negative thinking) is (are?) of course central.
Yeah, I have a thought:
Irrational belief behaves entirely too much like an addiction to opiates. It's a great high, but take away the goodies and what happens? All together, class: WITHDRAWAL!!! Dealing with those who are recovering from religion is similar in too many ways to those who are recovering from physiological addiction to drugs, and should be handled in a very similar fashion.
Perhaps we should establish a NEW 12-step program: B.A. - Believers, Anonymous - except that We DO NOT Require A Higher Power!!!
Whatcha think?
This is new territory for me and it has been some long journey. My observations, over many years, of myself and others in behavior and practices connected with religion and ritual have led me here. I do believe Christians or people who call themselves Christians, find hope in an afterlife that keeps them comforted and sane. It works for them because they don't have to face their mortality. I'm a member of ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics or Adult Children Anonymous). It is a 12-step program and the words "higher power" are utilized for lack of a better label. I have no problem with that because it's a concept and can mean whatever suits the religious beliefs of any people in the program. For me it means let it go (problems, obsessions, worries, etc.), and that I am a tiny particle in the universe. There is a cosmos out there, galaxies of galaxies to quote Carl Sagan, and my problems, dilemmas, screw-ups are dwarfed when I remember there is creation itself, always something larger than life, larger than me, and the wonder of that. Religion is a practice, not a belief. So this program accommodates people who practice any religion. For me, "higher power" refers to a kind of faith and belief I can live with.
Its an interesting thought, but it need a context that accept religion just as an addiction. That context are not to be seen for long time yet.
-BA -he he, but its a good idea...A BA context to start the walk out of it all. Yes its a very good idea!:D Doesnt the scientolog escapers have something similar?
Mike, there's no denying that you can't FORCE help onto anyone, nor do I think you can force someone to stop believing. I've said many times that atheism is a CONCLUSION, a personal discovery made by a given person. We can present facts and relevant data which supports that conclusion, but that is as far as we can go.
It's still the horse that chooses to drink ... and once he does, we can provide the necessary support.
To force anyone to anything creates resistance and that isnt a good way. So, as i aid, a such 12 step method are not to be possible for long time.
Its like with drug addicts. Genuin love and support. (seem to be impossible)
Thoughts? I think most of this has been covered in many successive and uninspiring posts across the internet about stuff we essentially already knew. Sorry about your luck.
Ok..But WE know. But what im thinking of is how to help them to understand without the fight.
To ease people out of fantasies that is fused with the real love of parents etc could be a important thing and i start to belive it goes for the one among us too who have revolted out of faith/thought crime hell.
Its tempting to fight when you know you are right, but many fights leaves no victory.
To solve a problem dont always contain the idea of 'winning and losing', but to say this is to to be rude in another faith-system. 'the winning and the losing'.
To win and lose are an evolutonary rest not really needed but kids are full of it, 'mummy mummy lok at mee..mee..' cause as kids we are TOTALY depentent of the grown ups, one can compare to another 'built in' thing, the stonehard will to share all VERY alike, you know, a bag of candy, two kids. 'One for you one for me' etc
This stuff some scholars say may have come in the 45 000 years or so when we walked with the animals after season.(BC by hart arent very acurat:)It was like a walking village and the kids ran in a big bunch. To survive this become important.
Its even in the bible but the scholars isnt to be trusted by the faith over facts ppl.
You know the herds men (the old way) was killed by Cain (the new way-to grow stuff but chained to the ground) This the religious take as a historical record when its probably is a passage about our earliest time. There are still nomadic people in the world so this change arent over yet.
Those texts had probably a now long gone substance but generations of not very cleaver ppl have destroyd it.
When these bronz age tribes was forced to settle and start their time as farmers they put it in their book and it backfired as i see it...
I mean the kids of Adam and Eve is said to created familys but faith ppl dont want to talk about WITH WHO!?
Its a laugh really, if it wasnt so serious...

Hi, I'd like to know, if you still use Windows beside Puppy.

By now I am running two Puppy flavors from pendrive, with multi-boot option (standard Puppy 3.01, pcPuppyOS rc6, or WinXP from hard disk), and I find that I'm now using WinXP for barely 10% of the time.
Myself I replaced my loud harddrives with an internal CF-card 3 months ago.
This means, I have no more Windows XP (I was too lazy to reinstall it).
I only "miss" it concerning some games I once bought but never played (like "The Chronicles of Riddick" or "Prey"), but I had no time for them anyway.
So at moment I don't need XP at all.
Why do you still use Windows, which applications?

I use XP on other peoples machines. It is always painfully slow.
The last Windows OS on this machine was 98SE
I may put it back on (there is some software I like to use) but frankly the internet connection setup is more than I want
to do, so probably won't.
I like XP but I hate keeping it running at speed
and protected
Unlike some penguins I feel dual booting an OS you have paid for
(came with this machine) is fine.
If you need WIndows - use it
- what are we engaged in software eugenics?
I do not need WIndows and I do not need the
bloat (and extra facilities) of other distros.
I may well use ReactOS when it goes into Beta sometime this year
Fast, flexible and friendly - Puppy does all I need
and then some.

I use windows a few times a week. There are some hardware devices (cameras, mp3 players) that will not work with linux, they just charge from usb instead of being able to access the internal discs so windows for those. Bluetooth for my phone (pics, ringtones).
I find video editing a lot easier in windows. I have used adobe premier for many years and nothing in the linux or windows freeware domain comes close yet.
Games! There are lots of windows games i like and they either do not work or I am too lazy to configure wine properly for them.
I only go on the net with puppy and its the only thing i use unless its for something specific.

Ah OK Mark,
The program I miss is Dreamweaver
BUT I much prefer using a wiki (yes I can not do as much)
but I can use a wiki from anywhere at any time . . .
On-line services are always fun - for that I just need a browser . . .

Hi MU et al,
Well my story is a sad one..I bought a shiny new lappy (HP Compaq nx 9420) with all the bells and whistles so I could run XP Pro fast and it came with a free upgrade to Vista(the free upgrade ended up costing me $65CDN..and XP is not fast..sheesh).
Anyway I was looking for a free disk partitioner and found Puppy....Gparted did exactly what I wanted it to do but the side effect was I loved Puppy and slowly migrated to it and haven't needed all those bells and whistles on my shiny new lappy...rats.
If we are talking what would be good for new pups, then for me bluetooth would be great, as I just want my bluetooth headset and a mouse to connect...not so much my phone. I seem to have a problem getting BT to work.
I find XP Pro a true multi-tasking OS because every time I start into Windows I find it's better to walk away for a half hour and do something else while it boots and updates and..and..and
The wife on the other hand still needs her genealogy programs, but MU's setup in Mini-Muppy for GRAMPS sounds great...I haven't had time to go after that yet but it looks good. I would love to see a puplet specifically for genealogists with Gramps and database etc as default software..then you'll see Windows go to the dust bin here (and I suspect also my wifes colleagues).
Photo editing is better in M$..Adobe Elements and Photoshop with IrfranViewer(IViewer) is what the wife uses here.
Be not afraid to grow slowly, only be afraid of standing still.

Subject description: Network is easier
My old 400mhz computer has Windows98 (not SE). I run several versions of Puppy from CD's. I use Windows to print to an Epson 7000CX in another room, attached to a Windows XP machine (my wife's). I have had big trouble printing using SAMBA and CUPS. Of course, walking a few feet into the other room is another solution.

There are two programs I use under Win 2000.
The first is Calendar Creator Plus, going back to 1993. I have not been able to find a Linux program that give me the Print options that CC+ does.
The second is Cadrail by Sandia Software. I use it for my hobby of model railroading. Yes there are Linux programs that are similar, but they do not come anywhere near the needs I have like Tom's program does.

Hi, Mark,
I still use windows more than puppy, by necessity. First, let me qualify "windows." I have an extremely small, simple, fast, windows, a "vestigial" 98se less IE and less practically every file I don't need. Uses 95 explorer as in 98Lite. (At least the file sysyem is intelligible :-) No frills, no multimedia, no AV and never a virus. (Postini, no IE, and hardware router are responsible.) I have not reinstalled windows in over 5 years except from a ghost image.
Why do I have to use windows? Familiarity is one thing. If one has been speaking English all his life he does not switch to French without a performance hit. But the main thing is applications. For example -
Quickbooks is needed in our small business.
I have written and publish numerous books, mostly in WordPerfect. These have to be periodically revised and reprinted. They are heavily integrated with graphics and not practically transferable to any other word processor. Of course they are in pdf but sometimes the source is needed. (Also, I like WordPerfect.)
Many windows programs are superior. Take for a small example the freeware image browser/viewer Faststone. Nothing comes close to it. Run it in wine? Maybe - the last time I tried it partially worked.
The workarounds to use windows programs in linux have so far not been satisfactory for me. Inefficient, awkward, incomplete. (My experience, but why should one have to use windows programs anyway?)
Drivers - I have a perfectly satisfactory scanner (Epson 4800) that will not work with linux. I would have to replace it, integrate it and learn a new, probably inferior interface.
The reader component of the ancient Acrobat 4 I use in windows is vastly superior to the slow and awkward default pdf reader in puppy.
I've used Eudora email for about a dozen years and have large files going back that far. Yes, it is possible to convert the files, even to Opera linux, but I always end up keeping Eudora for safety and simplicity.
Having said all that, I still have made every effort to adapt and use puppy, appreciate its general superiority, and enjoy using NOP 3.01 rev 5 nearly every day.
I use no Microsoft programs whatsoever except what little remains of 98se. That was the last one I got.

Hi Mark;
I myself don't use WinBlows, the rest of the family does, kids & games.
All of them play World of Warcraft on line, can Linux do that?
The boy plays Halo2 (Vista only), Unreal2004, Quake4, & GTA.
Any success stories of getting these running on Linux (Wine, Cedega, etc.)?

The only two things I have used Windows for this semester are to run Quartus and to print. The printing is only because I broke CUPS a while back and haven't gotten around to fixing it. Last semester I had it working great though, and I think the newer Puppies even include all the stuff I need for my printer. Someday I'll get around to making it work again. But for now, it doesn't really matter because every time I need to print corresponds with a time when I need to run Quartus.
I have no idea if there are Linux alternatives to Quartus, but it doesn't matter anyways. We're using it in class, so I need to use it at home too. Actually, if I hit it hard enough I could probably get it running in Wine. I tried once and got it mostly working, but it died when I tried compiling a circuit.
Two other programs I sometimes use Windows for are Ruckus (school gives us a free account
) and BYOND (which I had mostly working in Wine until they upgraded to version 4...) I did use Windows for a couple days to play the trial version of WOW, just to see what all the fuss was about (impressive, but I don't have the time or money to play).
All the references above are to XP. I do have 98SE still installed on my other computer (dual boot, Puppy is main os), and I plan to keep it out of nostalgia. Yesterday was actually the first time I even booted 98 since at least August. The only reason I did it was to defrag the harddrive so I could resize the partition.
Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

There is a Linux installer.
Simply google for "quake4 Linux" to find all the mirrors (the one from ID-software usually is overloaded and slow).
You need the Windows retail-CD for it.
Requires the manufacturer-drivers from Ati or Nvidia.
It works slow but playable on a Pentium 700 with 1 Gig Ram and a Ati Radeon 9250.
But only in Puppy1, in Puppy 2 it crashes after 10 minutes.
Even in Puppy1 I have to restart after playing one hour.
I was not able to compile the last available driver for the 9250 in Puppy 3.
These cards are still sold, so this is pretty poor from Ati that they dropped driversupport for it.
With newer cards you can use new Ati-drivers (that do not support old cards like my 9250 any more). Maybe they work better.
World of Warcraft might work using one of Puppys Wine packages.
Here is an instruction:
Unreal has good Linux-support.
I often read it runs faster than in Windows using an Nvidia card.

Pixar Animation Studios may be preparing its first live-action movie: John Carter of Mars. And Wall-E director Andrew Stanton may direct, sources are claiming. Click through to find out how the Chronicles of Narnia may give way to the might of Edgar Rice Burroughs' greatest non-Tarzan hero.
Disney/Pixar grabbed up a raft of domain names last Friday, including johncarterandthegodsofmars.com, johncarterandthewarlordofmars.com, godsofmarsmovie.com and warlordofmars-movie.com. And last August, Disney snagged johncarterofmars-movie.com and some variants, plus childrenofmars.com in November.
Jim Hill, who covers Disney in depth, says "insiders" claim Ratatouille screenwriter Mark Andrews has completed his first draft of a John Carter script. And both Disney and Pixar insiders are excited by the draft, and eager to put it into production. The movie could come out as soon as 2011 or 2012. Pixar has been saying for a while that it wants to do a live-action movie, and The Incredibles director Brad Bird will be directing 1906, about the San Francisco Earthquake, as a Disney/Pixar co-production.
Part of the urgency for a John Carter franchise comes from the fact that Disney is losing enthusiasm for the Narnia movies, and probably won't make any more after Prince Caspian and Dawn Treader, unless they massively outperform expectations. So Disney will have a Narnia-sized hole in its schedule in 2011 and beyond, which can only be filled with two-fisted sword-wrangling Martian action. [Jim Hill Media]

MONTREAL - There were two storms in Montreal on Saturday, January 22nd. One brought a howling wind and freezing temperatures, the other was a fury of man-made energy confined to a high ceiling, downtown hall.
within, a gathering of the faithful has come to pay homage to a small
delegation of professional wrestlers, representing the Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion.
"It is absolutely, obscenely cold. It's a little bit of a shock to me. I really commend the fans for coming out in this weather. It makes it that much more worth it," remarked Samoa Joe to SLAM! Wrestling, who is more accustomed to the Pacific temperatures of California where he calls home. He, along with CM Punk and Roderick Strong, sat down to talk with SLAM! prior to the start of the show.
You won't see either athlete wrestling on television every Monday or Thursday night, but make no mistake that their magnetism transcends mass media, to the point that fans were willing to wait in line this night to see them in action, braving the maelstrom of winter weather.
"If they're willing to brave these kinds of temperatures to come see us work, then we're more than willing to come up here and do our best to put on one hell of a show," said Joe.
they did, which is par for the course when it comes to those who represent ROH, first launched in February 2002 in Philadelphia, PA. Since bolting from the gate of its inception, ROH has built its reputation on producing elite, live pro wrestling shows, devoid of long-winded promos and pre-recorded, big screen soap opera segments that are the norm in WWE programming.
For CM Punk, being in Montreal for the show will hopefully be the
start of another stellar year. "Every single goal I've ever set at the beginning of the year has come true," said Punk, a native of Chicago, Ill. "I want to stay healthy and continue to elevate the ROH championship. I want to continue having really great matches."
The past year saw ROH achieved unprecedented recognition as the must-see wrestling product in North America. Wherever they go, a mass of rabid followers always seems to greet them.
Conscious of the growing appeal that ROH is having among disillusioned fans in the United States and beyond, Joe has a simple outlook when it comes to the cult like following his home promotion has given birth to.
"I think
wrestling fans like to watch wrestling," he said. "Whenever you go to a Ring of Honor show, first and foremost, that's what you're going to
see, that's what you're going to experience."
His answer may be simplistic, but look deeper and his words are the rallying cry for fans across the continent who long for an above-average, in-ring product. ROH has seized on this, an under-serviced market if you would, and presented a brand of wrestling that continues to draw a ferociously loyal clientele.
Vital to
upholding the aura of ROH is the promotion's efforts to ensure that the
championship titles are held in sacred regard, claiming a level of prestige and
respect fitting for a company that prides itself on giving intelligent,
competitive professional wrestling to those who want it.
"It's the
kind of theory and ideals we carry with us on all our shows," remarked Joe, who
held the ROH Heavyweight title for 21 months, only recently losing the
belt to Austin
Aries. "I went out there with the goal to really do my best, to put on an entertaining match and give the fans that came to a Ring of Honor show and saw a Ring of Honor title defense something memorable to take home with them."
But what patrons also took away from watching numerous title contests involving champions like Samoa Joe is a portal into the work ethic of ROH wrestlers. Joe made it abundantly clear that a championship belt can only be regarded as something special by the wrestlers who believe in making it special.
"Above all things, we really sought out to respect our titles. We wanted it be the greatest prize in professional wrestling and all of our guys do their very best to accentuate that," Joe said. "The bottom line is, nobody is going to care about the title if the wrestlers don't and all the wrestlers do a tremendous amount, they care about the way the company is viewed, the way the championships are viewed."
But for awhile, the glowing image of ROH was tarnished and with it, a certified scare blanketed the company that everything they had achieved would be lost.
It was in
March of 2004 that then owner Rob Feinstein
was shown on television in a media sting focusing on adults who lurk in online
chat rooms, looking to make contact with underage persons for sexual
encounters. It could not have come at a worse time as the promotion was set to
run a major show in Elizabeth, NJ, during the Wrestlemania XX weekend.
"We were
very open with everybody, we told everybody what was going on," said Punk, in reminiscing on the efforts of ROH to deal with the upheavals of that
controversy. "We didn't ever want to have the Paul Heyman pre-show speech, but that's the one time we had one where we were like, 'Hey man, this is what's going on, this could be our last show.'"
Shortly after the segment aired, Feinstein announced his departure and new management
quickly took over. Whatever doubts lingered on whether the fan base would
abandon ROH were buried when on March 13, some 2,000 fans descended for ROH's
"At Our Best", officially inaugurating a new chapter for the company.
"It was our biggest crowd to date. Obviously it helped out that Wrestlemania was the next day but still, 2000 people show up at an indy, that's what SMACKDOWN is drawing," Punk said. "Ever since
then, all of our shows have been rock 'n' roll. We didn't let anybody shut us down."
With that hullabaloo left behind, ROH could now focus on building quality wrestling shows and in doing so, elevate their status and along with it, the ROH Heavyweight as the crown jewel of indy titles.
else in the past year did that title reach the pinnacle of grandeur than the
saga of CM Punk and Samoa Joe. In a three match trilogy of high octane drama
and physicality, fans witnessed the crusade of Punk to end Joe's championship
"I don't
like to call me versus Joe a feud, it's more of a rivalry," Punk clarified. "It's no
secret outside of the ring how good friends Joe and I are. My year was topped
off by telling that story with Joe, the two one-hour draws and then the finale.
I'm just glad everybody enjoyed it. I'm very proud when you have guys comparing
our trilogy in 2004 to the likes of Steamboat and Flair. You'll never hear that
from me. Steamboat and Flair to me is on a different plane."
In fact, it
was Ricky Steamboat himself who made the comparison to that legendary NWA saga
from 1989 against Ric
Flair that has become a must-watch wrestling opera for connoisseurs. If
comparisons were not enough to flush Punk with pride, he then had the privilege
of working an extensive in-ring drama with Steamboat at various ROH shows.
"That was a
dream come true for me to do that," Punk reflected, noting that his initial
interaction with Steamboat would grow in intensity. "A couple of
months later, I'm taking his finish, his cross body off the top rope. He hasn't
done that move in 10 years. That was a big deal for me. I'm body slamming Ricky
Steamboat and he's out of the business because of a bad back. He trusted me
implicitly. Ricky Steamboat is from the old school, he doesn't say anything he
doesn't mean. For him to cut a promo in front of a live crowd and compare me to
a young Ric Flair and I'm only 26 years old, it was very surreal."
It is an
accomplishment that needless to say made 2004 a banner year for Samoa Joe.
"As far as
my personal goals that I had at the beginning of 2004, they were far
exceeded. It was an absolutely great
year," said Joe, extending his gratefulness for the fan support he has earned. "The fan
appreciation for some of the things I've done has been tremendous. I set out
to be the best wrestler I can be, go out there and entertain the fans. For the
most part I did my very best to do that and the fans that have commented after
seeing anything I've done, they've been very appreciative and very respectful
about it. You really can't ask for more as a professional wrestler."
For Punk,
2004 was a continuation of achievements that continue to mount since he first
began wrestling in 1999. "Ever since I've been in the wrestling business, every single year has been better than the last, and 2004, I don't think it's even arguable, it was my best year," said Punk.
success is to be envied and no doubt both have been confronted by fellow
workers looking to garner the secret that grants one a place on the ROH roster.
"Nowadays, it takes something unique," Joe said. "They need
to bring something different to the table than nobody else in Ring of Honor has
brought to the table. I see a lot of guys who are tremendous talents and
athletes, but they're very similar to someone who we already have in the
But in
displaying an inimitable stature that gets a wrestler noticed, so too must

assimilate to the ROH environment.
the biggest thing is having a ton of heart, having a great attitude, willing to
learn and work with others. Those are the biggest qualities you can possess to
be in Ring of Honor," Joe added.
Team spirit
has been paramount in the success of ROH and as Punk told, having that
willingness to give back to others is crucial to maintain the current level of excellence. "We have a very selfless crew. Everybody is worried about the other guy before they're worried about themselves."
grappler who can attest to the nurturing environment of ROH is New Orleans, LA, native Roderick Strong, who only
became a regular member of the promotion this past year.
March 13th, I've been full-time on the roster. It's just been
amazing growing experience. Working there (ROH) has been the greatest
experience of my life. It's just a big family. They embrace you like a little
brother and they all work with you," said Strong.
venturing into his fifth year as a pro, Strong is a shining example of someone
who possesses the elusive combination of an elite work ethic, matched with a
distinctive wrestling presence that caught the attention of ROH.
"I'm very
competitive," he said, adding that working with the company has provided him
the perfect atmosphere to further develop his wrestling abilities. "Ring of Honor is a competitive federation. Everyone tries to one up each other, but in a professional manner and that's how we grow and get better."
membership in the Generation Next faction along with Aries, Jacks Evans
and Alex
Shelley, Strong shared his own insight into what it takes to reach the ROH
summit, remarking that daredevil highspots alone will not get you noticed.
"People try
to do too much instead of doing the right things," he said. "It's not
about how many things you can do, it's how many things you can do right and
that's one thing that people tend to forget. You need to work on bettering
yourself all around instead of just moves. Everybody wants to be the cool move
guy. There's way more to wrestling than cool moves."
One place
where aspiring, future professional wrestlers can get their indoctrination that
may lead them to be in the ring with the likes of Samoa Joe, CM Punk or
Roderick Strong is the ROH wrestling school,
located in Bristol, PA.
There, CM
Punk has taken the lead role of teaching the ropes to those who have what it
"Of course
in my opinion, it's the best place to train in the United States," stated Punk, making it clear that
just because you have the money, does not guarantee entry to the school.
"I don't
want to waste anybody's time and I certainly don't want anybody wasting my
time. There is a $50 non-refundable try-out fee. I run my place like a Japanese
Dojo, I'm very serious about it and you have to be very disciplined to go
there. You don't touch the ring normally for three months and a lot of people
would say that's bullshit and that would turn a lot of people off, but those
are the people that I don't want to train."
No one will
dispute that the current winds of stagnation have blown many one-time
enthusiast far from the spectacle that is pro wrestling. But if you ever have a chance to talk to Samoa Joe, he'll tell you that ROH may just make you want to be a fan again. "Quite simply, if you're a wrestling fan and you watch wrestling for wrestling, if you want to see guys go out there night after night and pour their heart and souls into their matches and give the fans all they have, I'd say come and see Ring of Honor."

|Who started the PokéCommunity?
|Master Kwesi Nkromah! He's the community founder, though he's not around too much anymore.
|What were the "Community Sites"?
|Prior to November 1st, 2008, PC operated under a "community sites" system. Essentially, PokéCommunity was the official forum of several Pokémon fan sites out there, and their webmasters were granted the rank of "community site administrator."
This system is no longer in use. If you're curious as to the reasons, ask one of the staff members in a PM.
|What do the positions at PC mean? Such as Administrator?
The PokéCommunity has different tiers that represent a person's standing within the forums. These tiers influence the amount of responsibility a member is allowed to have while posting, and in no way reflects their status as individuals. A member with a higher donation tier, for example, is not "better" than a member who hasn't donated. For information on supporter tiers, see "What are the supporter ranks and what differences do they have?"
The staff of PC can be broken into different ranks that represents the amount of responsibility they have within across the board. They can be individuals that watch over a section or another platform, or the people who look after areas outside of local forums, but still carry the name, rules, and overall atmosphere we generate at PC, such as The PokéCommunity Pokémon Showdown server.
|What are the supporter ranks, and what are the differences?
Supporter rank is granted when you donate money to PokéCommunity. The more money you donate, the higher your tier and the more perks you gain. The potential Supporter categories are as follows:
|How do I make a blog?
Blogs are an additional feature on The PokéCommunity and while everyone is free to comment on public blogs, they can only be created if you meet the following criteria:
When you become a Gold Tier Supporter, your blog privileges will be granted once your usergroup has been set. As for becoming a staff member or reaching 2,000 posts, your usergroup promotion will be automatic, so you will receive blogging privileges immediately. These are the only ways to receive a blog. Each method is entirely objective and no special exceptions will be made.
|What are emblems and how can I get one?
Emblems are a feature on PokéCommunity that allows the staff to recognize members for a variety things. Some might be awarded based for great, conducive posts, for making unforgettable typos, and some might be awarded as an award for contests/competitions, and some others have yet to even be discovered! Staff are the arbiters of what constitutes someone whom deserves an emblem, and thus anyone receiving one is hand-picked by staff and not automatic. Emblems can be perceived as a sort of medal of honor, if you will, so if you receive one, be proud of it: you deserve it.
|What are the exceptions to the revival rule?
PokéCommunity's global rules include a rule that restricts threads to be posted in after it has had no replies for thirty (30) days. However, some forum sections have rules in place that allow exceptions to this rule. The following forums have an exception:
Furthermore, if you're unsure of an individual forum's rules regarding posting in inactive threads, make an effort to ask the moderator as they're likely to know better than anyone else.
|Why can't I post links until I have made five posts or more?
The limitation of members not being allowed to post links cuts down on spam, as well as prevents a new user to join PC with the intent to advertise their service. Once you have a total of five posts around the forum, you will be able to post links.
|I keep hearing about "Get-Togethers"; what are they?
PokéCommunity Get-Togethers are a yearly celebration meant to invite members to participate in other member-created events. The Get-Together is designed to unite members of PokéCommunity forum-wide in order to incite a feeling of togetherness, as has been tradition. Get-Togethers run every year so if you happen to miss participating in it one year, the next one isn't too far around the corner!
|So you have a supporters email address, now what?
PokeCommunity Supporter's EMAIL Setup and Usage
First off, thanks for supporting your Community!
We'll try to give you all the basic info you need here to use your new PC Email account..
We'll break it down in to various usage groups, i.e. pop3/smtp, imap, secure imap, and webmail.
To check your mail through a desktop application you will need to configure the application. Your mail server is most likely mail.pokecommunity.com. You will need to use the full username (email@example.com) and password when setting up your account in your desktop mail application. It is a good idea to check 'My Server Requires Authentication' as well as our mail servers requires this option. If your e-mail client has trouble using a @ sign in the login, you can use +, :, or % sign instead.
This is the basic email setup used in various clients like outlook (and express), thunderbird, and so on.
Incoming Mail Server: mail.pokecommunity.com POP3 port 110 IMAP port 143
Webmail allows you to check your email from a web browser as opposed to a desktop mail application such as Outlook Express or Thunderbird. This means that you can check your email from any web browser. Please make sure to log out when checking your email on public computers so that other people cannot read your email.
You can check the webmail for your account by logging into https://svr1.1-gb.net:2096/ with the full username (firstname.lastname@example.com [use lower case only]) and password for the email account (port 2095 can also be used for non SSL [https]ie http://www.pokecommunity.com:2095), or visit www.pokecommunity.com/webmail OR http://webmail.pokecommunity.com and login.
We suggest using Horde as your webmail choice, it has a great feature set that includes some shared functions (calendars, address books, etc.) and for a simple interface choose squirrle mail. If you have continued issues getting it working, just PM an upper staff or admin member for more help. Don't keep trying to login after you receive an error as we have too many wrong passwords protection enabled.

If you recall, Tareq Salahi was plenty pissed when his wife Michaele, formerly of The Real Housewives of D.C., ran off with Journey frontman Neal Schon and left his ass. So pissed in fact, that in February he sued her and Schon for $50 million for all sorts of reasons, but basically because they embarrassed him ... and because he's pathetic.
I know you've all been waiting with bated breath to see just what a judge would say about his lawsuit (not!), and finally the verdict is in: He's getting nothing, because the judged laughed him right out of court. Okay, there are no reports that the judge actually laughed, but I bet he did -- even if just on the inside. Officially, the judge threw out his sorry lawsuit calling it "not legally sufficient."
That's right, all of his whiny, ridiculous complaints -- including the one in which he claimed injuries from a "metaphorical slap in the face," Schon reportedly delivered to him by emailing Tareq a picture of his penis and calling him to say, "I'm f**king your wife" -- hold no water in court. Can I get a big, HA!?
So now what's Tareq going to do? He has well surpassed his 15 minutes of fame and made an idiot of himself in the process. The lawsuit was his last grasp to cash in on it, and now that has slipped through his fingers. He might actually have to -- gasp! -- work for a living. He recently spoke to the Washingtonian about how he's turned his life around (and is such a victim) and is focusing again on his Oasis Vineyard as well as a potential new food and wine show there. So yeah, there's no hope of him just going way. I can't imagine what kind of publicity stunt he'll try next, because I'm sure he won't stop.
I wish I could muster up even an ounce of sympathy for the guy. I mean now he's left alone and his dreams of raking in the big bucks have been dashed. But I can't. He did this to himself, and he deserves exactly what he got -- nada. Case dismissed.
Is anyone surprised that Tareq Salahi's lawsuit was thrown out? Does anyone feel sorry for him?

Filipino rebels storm villages, take hostages
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — About 200 Muslim rebels were holding nearly 300 people hostage Monday after clashing with government troops and rampaging through coastal communities in the southern Philippines, leaving at least eight people dead, officials said.
The fighting occurred after troops backed by tanks blocked the Moro National Liberation Front guerrillas — armed with assault rifles and grenade launchers — from marching into Zamboanga city, a major port city, to raise their flag at city hall, military spokesman Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala said.
He said the rebels were boxed into a Muslim coastal slum called Rio Hondo and were refusing to negotiate with security forces.
Zamboanga Mayor Maria Isabelle Climaco said sporadic gunbattles killed a navy special forces member, a policeman and four civilians, and that 24 civilians, rebels and soldiers were wounded. The military said at least two guerrillas were killed.
"Everything is being done to solve the crisis as soon as possible with minimal damage to lives and properties," Climaco said.
The military and police initially reported 20 residents were being held hostage by the rebels but Zagala said later Monday that up to 290 people were being held captive in three villages near Rio Hondo based on reports by government forces.
Alberto Sumalpong Jr. said he and his family were awakened by blasts of gunfire and then fled to safety from their village, but he later returned to check on their belongings. "Some villagers returned to check on their houses but ended up also being taken hostage," he told The Associated Press by telephone.
Zagala said the rebels planned to march into Zamboanga, a bustling port city of nearly 1 million people, and hoist their flag at city hall but government forces discovered the plan three days ago and took defensive positions.
"We cannot allow another armed force to march around our cities. That is unacceptable," he said.
TV footage showed troops and police in battle gear taking cover behind buildings as residents fled with bags of clothes. Troops secured a hospital, and most stores, businesses and schools in the city were shut.
The rebels demanded that troops move an army tank farther away and remove snipers from the top of buildings, warning they would kill a hostage if they were harmed. They also wanted a shelter for their hostages by nightfall and said they would otherwise drag them to an undisclosed location, Jimmy Villaflores, an officer of the rebel-held Sta. Catalina village, told radio DZBB.
The violence is the latest flare-up of Muslim unrest that has plagued the country's poverty-stricken Mindanao region on and off for decades. It shatters years of relative calm in Zamboanga city, a predominantly Christian region 860 kilometers (540 miles) south of Manila.
The Moro group signed a 1996 peace accord with the government, but hundreds of its fighters held on to their arms and have accused officials of reneging on a promise to develop an autonomous region for minority Muslims in the south of the predominantly Roman Catholic country.
The group later split into factions and faded into the background as its largest breakaway bloc, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, gained strength and continued fighting.
The 11,000-strong Moro Islamic Liberation Front has engaged the Philippine government in Malaysian-brokered peace talks, which have progressed recently toward a new Muslim autonomy deal. But a Moro National Liberation Front guerrilla faction led by Nur Misuari felt left out and has issued new threats.
The trouble in Zamboanga city began late Sunday when police arrested five Moro National Liberation Front guerrillas who were wearing combat uniforms and carrying pistols in Rio Hondo, the military said.
Then a navy patrol spotted a large boat and eight smaller vessels carrying dozens of armed guerrillas off Rio Hondo, sparking a gunbattle at sea that killed a member of the navy special forces and wounded six others, Zagala said.
The clash spilled into Rio Hondo, where bursts of gunfire forced hundreds of residents to flee.
Reinforcement troops and police were deployed to cut off the guerrillas.

Advantage Dog 4-10Kg 6pk
Do you hate being itchy? Pretty sure your pet dog hates being itchy as well. That constant niggle that just never seems to leave you alone, no matter where you go in your home. Sometimes to get rid of these kinds of annoyances we require some sort of advantage. And finally we have one. Advantage Flea Control for Dogs!
Advantage for dogs is the fastest way to a flea-free home!
Advantage acts on adult fleas, flea larvae, lice and also protects against flea Allergy Dermatitis. Advantage offers total flea control as it also works for Environmental parasitical activity meaning flea larvae are killed in the pets' surroundings, such as the backyard and bedding. Please note, Advantage will not work on ticks
Advantage is Water-resistant and safe for puppies from birth*.
The application is a simple, once-a-month topical (spot-on) treatment.
Advantage for dogs is the fastest way to a flea free home. Its super ingredient stops fleas biting within 3 to 5 minutes and kills both adult fleas and larvae within 20 minutes. Since Advantage works on contact so fleas don't need to bite, dogs suffer fewer painful flea bites, reducing outbreaks of Flea Allergy Dermatitis.
Advantage is the only flea product you need as it breaks the flea lifecycle. Unlike other treatments, Advantage kills fleas in your dog's surroundings – your home. It even provides protection for your dog when it comes into contact with other pets that have fleas.
Safe for puppies of any age, Advantage provides month long protection, controls lice and is water-resistant so it won't wash off. It's the quickest way to the happiness of a flea-free home.
Stops fleas biting within 3 to 5 minutes!
Advantage Application Instructions - How to apply advantage to your dog
1. Prepare the dose.
Check the packaging to ensure you have the correct dose for your dog. Hold the Advantage dose upright so the slender end of the tube is at the top.
(This end is the applicator.)
Pull the cap off the tube. Turn the cap upside down and place the other end over the seal at the top of the tube.
(Twist the cap to break the seal.)
2. Position the dog in a standing position
Move your dog into a standing position and make sure it's standing still. If necessary, have a second person hold the dog. A standing position will provide the best access to the area on the dog's skin where the Advantage treatment should be applied.
3. Part the dog's fur.
Locate the middle of the dog's back at the base of its neck between the shoulder blades. Use one hand to part the fur and expose the skin. This will help you get the Advantage on the dog's skin, not the fur.
4. Apply Advantage directly to the skin.
Place the open tip of the applicator on the exposed skin at the base of the neck.
Squeeze the applicator tube to release the whole dose onto the skin. Check that all medication has been expelled from the dose tube.
5. Avoid contact with the area.
Avoid touching the area behind the dog's neck where the Advantage has been applied for 24 hours after application. This will ensure proper absorption of the medication and prevent it from getting on hands or fingers.
6. Keep the dog dry for 24 hours.
Do not bathe the dog or allow the dog to get wet for 24 hours after applying Advantage to ensure full absorption of the treatment.
7. Apply Advantage regularly.
Advantage will work best to prevent fleas, and flea eggs when used once per month or according to your veterinarian's instructions.
Advantage for dog pack Size: 4-10Kg - 6 pack

Securely wipe disk
Template:Article summary start Template:Article summary text Template:Article summary heading Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary wiki Template:Article summary end
Wiping a disk is done by writing new data over every single bit.
- 1 Common use cases
- 2 Select a data source for overwriting
- 3 Select a program
- 4 Select a target
- 5 Overwrite the disk
- 6 Data remanence
- 7 See also
Common use cases
Wipe all data left on the device
The most common usecase for completely and irrevocably wiping a device will be when the device it going to be given away or also maybe sold. There may be (unencrypted) data left on the device and you want to protect against simple forensic investigation that is mere child's play with for example File Recovery software.
If you want to quickly wipe everything from the disk /dev/zero or simple patterns allow maximum performance while adequate randomness can be advantageous in some cases that should be covered up in #Data remanence.
Every overwritten bit means to provide a level of data erasure not allowing recovery with normal system functions (like standard ATA/SCSI commands) and hardware interfaces. Any file recovery software mentioned above then would need to be specialized on proprietary storage-hardware features.
In case of a HDD data recreation will not be possible without at least undocumented drive commands or fiddling about the device's controller or firmware to make them read out for example reallocated sectors (bad blocks that S.M.A.R.T. retired from use).
There are different wiping issues with different physical storage technologys, most notably all Flash memory based devices and older magnetic storage (old HDD's, floppy disks, tape).
Preparations for block device encryption
If you want to prepare your drive to securely set up Disk Encryption#Block device encryption inside the wiped area afterwards you really should use #Random data generated by a trusted cryptographically strong random number generator (referred to as RNG in this article from now on).
Select a data source for overwriting
As just said If you want to wipe sensitive data you can use anything matching your needs.
If you want to setup block device encryption afterwards you should always wipe at least with Pseudorandom data.
For data that is not truly random your disk's writing speed should be the only limiting factor. If you need random data, the required system performance to generate it may extremely depend on what you choose as source of entropy.
Unrandom data
Overwriting with
/dev/zero or simple patterns is considered secure in most resources. In the case of current HDD's it should be sufficient for fast disk wipes.
Pattern write test
#Badblocks can write simple patterns to every block of a device and then read and check them searching for damaged areas (just like memtest86* does with memory).
As the pattern is written to every accesible block this effectively wipes the device.
Random data
For differences between random and pseudorandom data as source, please see Random Number Generation.
Select a program
/dev/<drive> is the drive to be encrypted.
Official documentation for dd and shred is linked to under #See also.
Checking progress of dd while running
By default, there is no output of dd until the task has finished. With kill and the "USR1"-Signal you can force status output without actually killing the program. Open up a 2nd root terminal and issue the following command:
# killall -USR1 dd
# kill -USR1 <PID_OF_dd_COMMAND>
For example:
# kill -USR1 $(pidof dd)
This causes the terminal in which dd is running to output the progress at the time the command was run. For example:
605+0 records in 605+0 records out 634388480 bytes (634 MB) copied, 8.17097 s, 77.6 MB/s
Dd spin-offs
Other dd alike programs feature periodical status output like i.e. a simple progress bar.
dcfldd is an enhanced version of dd with features useful for forensics and security. It accepts most of dd's parameters and includes status output. The last stable version of dcfldd was released on December 19, 2006.[1]
GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It's capable of ignoring read errors what is a useless feature for disk wiping in almost any case. GNU ddrescue Manual
Shred is a Unix command that can be used to securely delete files and devices so that they can be recovered only with great difficulty with specialised hardware, if at all.[2] Shred uses three passes, writing pseudo-random data to the device during each pass. This can be reduced or increased.
The following command invokes shred with its default settings and displays the progress.
# shred -v /dev/<drive>
Alternatively, shred can be instructed to do only one pass with entropy from, e.g.
# shred --verbose --random-source=/dev/urandom -n1 /dev/<drive>
For letting badblocks perform a disk wipe a destructive read-write test has to be done.
# badblocks -c 10240 -wsv /dev/<drive>
Select a target
Use fdisk to locate all read/write devices the user has read acess to.
Check the output for lines that start with devices such as
This is an example for a HDD formatted to boot a linux system:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00ff784a Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 102400 83 Linux /dev/sda2 206848 488397167 244095160 83 Linux
Or the Arch Install Medium written to a 4GB USB thumb drive:
# fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sdb: 4075 MB, 4075290624 bytes, 7959552 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x526e236e Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 0 802815 401408 17 Hidden HPFS/NTFS
Block size
If you have a Advanced Format hard drive it is recommended that you specify a block size larger than the default 512 bytes. To speed up the overwriting process choose a block size matching your drive's physical geometry by appending the block size option to the dd command (i.e.
bs=4096 for 4KB).
Fdisk prints physical and logical sector size for every disk.
Alternatively sysfs does expose information:
/sys/block/sdX/queue/physical_block_size /sys/block/sdX/queue/logical_block_size /sys/block/sdX/alignment_offset
Overwrite the disk
of=... option points to the target drive and not to a system disk.
Zero-fill the disk by writing a zero byte to every addressable location on the disk using the /dev/zero stream.
iflag and
oflag as below will try to disable buffering, which is senseless for a constant stream.
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX iflag=nocache oflag=direct bs=4096
Or the /dev/urandom stream:
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdX bs=4096
The process is finished when dd reports,
No space left on device:
dd: writing to '/dev/sdb': No space left on device 7959553+0 records in 7959552+0 records out 4075290624 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 1247.7 s, 3.3 MB/s
Data remanence
Template:Wikipedia The residual representation of data may remain even after attempts have been made to remove or erase the data.
Residual data may get wiped by writing (random) data to the disk with a single or even more than one iteration. However, more than one iteration may not significantly decrease the possibility to reconstruct the data of hard disk drives. For more information see Secure deletion: a single overwrite will do it - The H Security.
Random data
If the data can get exactly located on the disk and was never copied anywhere else, wiping with random data can be thoroughgoing and impressively quick as long there is enough entropy in the pool.
A good example is cryptsetup using /dev/urandom for wiping the LUKS keyslots.
Hardware specific issues
Flash memory
Wikipedia:Write amplification and other characteristics make Flash memory a stubborn target for reliable wiping. As there is a lot of transparent abstraction in between data as seen by a device's controller chip and the operating system sight data is never overwritten in place and wiping particular blocks or files is not reliable.
Other "features" like transparent compression (all SandForce SSD's) can compress your /dev/zero or pattern stream so if wiping is fast beyond belief this might be the case.
Disassembling Flash memory devices, unsoldering the chips and analyzing data content without the controller in between is feasible without difficulty using simple hardware. Data recovery companys do it for cheap money.
For more information see: Reliably Erasing Data From Flash-Based Solid State Drives.
Residual magnetism
Wiped hard disk drives and other magnetic storage can get disassembled in a cleanroom and then analyzed with equipment like a magnetic force microscope. This may allow the overwritten data to be reconstructed by analyzing the measured residual magnetics.
This method of data recovery for current HDD's is largely theoretical and would require substantial financial resources. Nevertheless degaussing is still a practiced countermeasure.
Old magnetic storage
Securely wiping old magnetic storage (e.g. floppy disks, magnetic tape) is much harder due to much lower memory storage density. Many iterations with random data might be needed to wipe any sensitive data. To ensure that data has been completely erased most resources advise physical destruction.
Operating system, programs and filesystem
The operating system, executed programs or journaling file systems may copy your unencrypted data throughout the block device. When writing to plain disks this should only be relevant in conjunction with one of the above.

Of all the autobiographies, diaries, and glimpses into life in the wonderful world of pro wrestling, it may be that Gary Howard's book, The Rassler From Renfrew, is the most original, comprehensive, and downright impressive of them all.
Focused on Larry Kasaboski and wrestling in the Ottawa Valley -- where Renfrew is located -- and Northern Ontario, beginning in the depression years of the 1930s, Gary Howard's masterpiece is an important resource for any aspiring wrestling historian or fan who wants to develop a deeper appreciation for wrestling's rich history in Canada.
While many will point to Heath McCoy's Pain and Passion: The History of Stampede Wrestling book as the most impressive of its kind, one could argue that this one tops even that historical gem. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of this project is the fact that it breaks new ground. Howard dug deep and left no stone unturned while compiling this book. In it, you will find unbelievably rare photos, posters, and other memorabilia previously unavailable or otherwise near impossible to find for the casual fan. But now it's all here in 151 spellbinding pages.
"It took a lot of digging but I tracked down the pics and memorabilia through former journalists, arena managers, family members, and lots of research at the library and through newspapers. The North Bay Sports Hall of Fame (Peter Handley) was particularly helpful," Gary Howard told SLAM! Wrestling.
Many casual fans would probably pass up the opportunity to read this title, because on its surface wrestling in Northern Ontario might not spark much interest in most. That would be a mistake. The Rassler From Renfrew is chock full of interesting stories involving more well known names, such as Ronnie and Terry Garvin, Andre the Giant, Dory and Terry Funk, "One Man Gang" Don Evans, Stu Hart, Adrian Adonis, Abdullah the Butcher, The Rougeaus, Killer Kowalski, Pat Patterson, and even Ric Flair. The list goes on and on.
"For many older wrestling fans it will be a trip down memory lane. But I also wrote it for the younger fan so that they will get a sense of history and truly appreciate the roots of pro wrestling. Without the little promotions like Northlands pioneering the game, there would be no WWE today," explained Howard.
Amazingly, Northland Wrestling Enterprises seemed to have slipped through the cracks of history, and you would be hard pressed to find any information at all about any of the history that unfolded in the Ottawa Valley and Northern Ontario. This was undoubtedly one of Howard's motivations to take on this project.
"Larry Kasaboski's promotion operated for 35 years, yet no one had recorded an historical account of the territory. I resolved that it would not be merely a footnote in history... there were many stories to be told and many careers to be highlighted. I was aware of the promotion all my life and wanted Northlands to be afforded the same respect and prominence that the other great North American territories had received," Howard said.
Certainly though, a book so intricate and comprehensive would not be possible to compile without some help. Howard consulted everyone that he could to check his facts and gain new perspectives.
"Larry's daughter Kim; Larry's nephews and nieces. Frankie Hart's sons Harry and Dave and granddaughter Kathy. Benny Trudel's daughter Jackie. Former wrestlers Bill Curry, Ronnie Garvin, Cowboy Bob Kelly, Duncan McTavish. The list is endless but without the family members and wrestlers, the story would not be as credible. [SLAM! Wrestling]'s own Greg Oliver has been my 'wrestling encyclopedia,'" he boasted.
In doing the amount of research required to assemble the amount of information included in this book, you might be surprised to hear what Howard found to be more compelling than anything; it is an aspect of the business that most wrestling critics fail to grasp -- the positive emotions tied to the business.
"The sincerity and modesty of the old time wrestlers. Many told me it evoked mixed emotions -- tears, laughter, sadness. All endorsed the story as an accurate and honest account of those days. Surprisingly no one had a bad word to say about Larry. If anything, it was said he was kind to a fault."
Indeed, history is a valuable tool that enables us to look into the past and track our progress up until the present day. In doing so, we can certainly conclude that wrestling has come a very long way since the days of Kasaboski's Northland Wrestling Enterprises. But with progress comes sacrifice. Howard suggests that as compared with the old days, there is a lack of bonding between wrestlers today, as well as an unfortunate lack of attention given to families.
"The business today is business with little thought given to the families until tragedy occurs. There are still close bonds today but in the earlier era whole families bonded. Wrestlers' offspring married each other; Dory Funk Sr.'s boys Terry and Dory Jr. spent several years as young boys in North Bay. The children of the wrestlers formed strong friendships, some of which still thrive today. The lack of this closeness does not appear to have impacted on the fan base or the financial fortunes of today's wrestlers but perhaps they are not as rich in human relationships."
The Rassler From Renfrew has received nothing but rave reviews from anyone who has read it. SLAM! Wrestling's own, Greg Oliver, who had his brain picked on more than one occassion during the compilation of the book, read the final copy from cover to cover and was amazed at the sheer amount of information included.
"I can tell you that it is THE most complete book about any promotion out there; it gives a far better picture of the day-to-day running of a promotion during its entire history than any other book," Oliver raved.
It is reviews such as those, remarked Howard, that made the project worthwhile.
"The book has been warmly received by all those who were close to the wrestling scene in that era. That in itself has been the most rewarding part of the whole exercise."
Following the success of this project, Howard is now working on a non-wrestling project. He also writes a column for the Pembroke Daily Observer. While currently he has no plans to embark on another journey into the depths of wrestling history, he hinted that "another wrestling book is not out of the question. It is an entirely fascinating subject." Wrestling fans can only hope that after such an incredible contribution to the wrestling community, more will follow.
MEET GARY HOWARD: Gary will be talking about his new book at the Ottawa Public Library's main branch, 120 Metcalfe St., on Wednesday, March 12 at 7 p.m.

The Training Principles
One of the important tasks for the Department of Propagation & Information is to prepare the material for the training of their members specially and for all the Muslims generally, with the aim of strengthening their beliefs and adherence to the principals and objectives of the Jihad Movements.
In this regard a compulsory course should be devised for the members of the organisation and no one should be exempted. This course should be taught and instructed with full vigour so that it becomes a part and parcel of the participants' personality. This course could have many facets according to the different circumstances and times.

sounds good, now all we need them to do is fix the music...
- 15 August 2012 at 14:02
great, they've gone all teal & orange like everybody else has. dear tv and movie producers: there are more colors in the spectrum than just those two...
- 15 August 2012 at 14:40
Have you not been watching the show? That's been the title sequence for like two seasons now. You haven't even seen the new one.

My biggest complaint is that Gold has essentially drowned out the original bass line with a percussion in the opening seconds. The original theme was composed of two parts: the baseline and the main melody. What's wrong with sticking with that? Not only that, Gold actually doesn't have the notes correct in the main melody. Red Dwarf X did it.

That really says it all.
I was thinking that these two colors (sunset and hollyhock) would make a mighty kicky combo. Turns out, the Lakers hit upon the same idea in 1967.
Ah well. These stripes are highly addictive — so addictive, in fact, thatI've also started the yellow on yellow study (though the photos have yet to turn out).
Good airplane knitting as well. I plan to keep going and embrace the wild color scheme, while listening to some form of detective fiction (yet to be determined), all the way to London. Tomorrow I arrive and head straight to the library (!!). That's the best case scenario anyway … somehow, I have a feeling I'll end up wandering a bit aimlessly, get lost, then collapse at the nearest cafe before until heading out to find my host's apartment.
But I'm telling myself I'll be working away at the library. Now, I have to pack.

The men's top seed is yet to drop a set at Wimbledon 2013 and looked in good form against a Berdych, winning 7-6 6-4 6-3 against a man who had won their previous meeting on grass in the 2010 semi-finals at SW19.
The number seven seed has an impressive serve and that kept him in the first set as a tie-break was needed to separate the pair.
Djokovic was the first to suffer a mini-break but, in what became a theme throughout the match, he broke back almost immediately.
Berdych was under pressure at 5-5 and two unforced errors handed the set to Djokovic, though the Czech was playing as well as he had done so far at the All England Club.
He hit a streak of form early in the second and some terrific returning saw him break the top seed twice to lead 3-0 – you don't become world number one if you don't have great mental strength, however.
Going behind seemed to wake Djokovic out of his slump and he pulled the breaks back immediately with some delightful varied play, with particularly good use of the drop shot.
Understandably, Berdych's shoulders dropped after throwing his advantage away and he could only win one further game as Djokovic got into his groove to take the set.
There was only ever going to be one winner after that and though Berdych was still serving well, the 2011 champion was there to pounce on the smallest mistakes.
Once Djokovic had claimed a break in the fourth game of the third set, the finish was a formality as he booked a semi-final spot on Friday against Juan Martin del Potro, who overcame a very nasty fall in the first game to see off fourth seed David Ferrer in straight sets.
