The Islanders have acquired defenseman Andy Greene from the Devils on Sunday afternoon, in exchange for defenseman David Quenneville and the club's second-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, the team announced.
Quenneville, 21, will report to the Devils' AHL affiliate in Binghamton.
New Jersey now has seven picks in the 2021 NHL Draft -- their own first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth-rounds picks, in addition to New York's second-round pick and Arizona's third-round pick.
The Islanders called up forward Kieffer Bellows from the AHL's Bridgeport Sound Tigers on Monday
Bellows was the club's first-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, the No. 19 overall selection.
The 21-year-old is leading the Sound Tigers in points this season. In 45 games played, Bellows has 16 goals and 24 total points.
Islanders center Mathew Barzal took home the crown of NHL Fastest Skater at the All-Star Skills Competition on Friday night in St. Louis, MO.
Barzal skated the circuit in 13.175 seconds, just 0.03 seconds shy of the all-time record held by Dylan Larkin.
He took down Edmonton Oilers star Connor McDavid, who had won the event three-straight years.
Islanders defenseman Adam Pelech has torn his Achilles tendon and will miss the remainder of the season, the team announced Friday morning.
Islanders president and GM Lou Lamoriello said Pelech suffered the injury off the ice in "a freak accident" prior to their game against the Devils on Thursday.
The 25-year-old was in the midst of his fifth season in the NHL and had played in all 38 games this season for the Isles before missing Thursday's matchup with New Jersey. He scored one goal and assisted on eight up to that point.

Mathew Barzal will represent the Islanders at the 2020 NHL All-Star game, the team announced on Monday.
Barzal, 22, currently leads the Islanders in multiple statistics this season, including goals (16) points (17), assists (16), plus-minus (10), and naturally, total points with 33.
The Isles were represented by Barzal at last year's All-Star extravaganza as well, the first two of his young career.

The Islanders set a franchise record on Thursday night after beating the Penguins 4-3 in overtime, extending their points streak to 16 consecutive games, breaking the mark set in 1982.
They went down early, as Evengi Malkin scored a little over a minute into the first period to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead. But with 4:48 left in the first period, Scott Mayfield tied the game at 1-1 on a Matthew Barzal assist.
Early in the second period, the Islanders went down again when Bryan Rust scored for the Penguins on an unassisted slap shot to take a 2-1 lead. Anthony Beauvillier scored with 8:22 left in the second period to tie the game, thanks to assists by Derick Brassard and Ryan Pulock.

The Islanders tied a franchise record on Tuesday by topping the Penguins 5-4 in overtime, extending their point streak to 15 games, matching the mark set by the team in 1982.
The Islanders fell into an early hole, as Bryan Rust lit the lamp about midway through the first quarter. Five minutes later, Brandon Tanev notched his fourth goal of the season, putting the penguins up 2-0 at the end of the first period.
In the second, though, the Islanders fought back. Early in the period, Anthony Beauvillier scored his seventh goal of the season to get the Islanders on the board, and less than three minutes later, Brock Nelson's fifth goal of the season tied the game at 2-2.

In a game that featured three goals in the final two-and-a-half minutes, the Islanders held on to beat the Maple Leafs 5-4 on Wednesday night.
With the win, the Islanders have now extended their point streak to 13 straight games.
Anthony Beauvillier notched his third and fourth goals of the season in the first and second periods, respectively, to give the Islanders a 3-2 lead heading into the game's final 20 minutes.

The Islanders' 10-game win streak came to an end last week, but another big game is on the horizon.
On Wednesday, the Islanders will welcome the Toronto Maple Leafs to the Coliseum, meaning that former Isles captain John Tavaras will once again be returning to the venue he called home for nine seasons.
Islanders head coach Barry Trotz isn't expecting this year's return to be anywhere as meaningful as Tavares' first trip back, which came last season.

The Islanders' 10-game winning streak has come to an end.
On Thursday night, the Islanders failed to hold onto a three-goal lead in the third period, eventually falling to the Penguins, 4-3, in overtime at Barclays Center.
The team's 10-game streak was the second-longest winning streak in team history. The only better mark in the history of the franchise came in 1981-82, when the team won 15 straight en route to their third-straight Stanley Cup championship.

Every New York sports fan has their one favorite player or coach, past or present, that they absolutely love. They've given years of service to help your favorite team win, and they've done so while playing or managing at the highest level.
But not every marriage has come to a happy ending in the Big Apple.
While this city has had its fair share of legends on every team, there have also been some pretty bad breakups throughout each league. And, as agents of chaos in this case, we're here to remind you of some of the ugliest divorces that your favorite teams have seen in recent years.

The wins just keep on rolling in for the Islanders.
With Tuesday night's 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senators at Barclays Center, the team has now won an improbable 10 games in a row, the second-longest winning streak in team history. The only better mark in the history of the franchise came in 1981-82, when the team won 15 straight en route to their third straight Stanley Cup championship.
"It was a difficult game. Ottawa's playing good hockey right now," said head coach Barry Trotz. "They made us earn everything. ... We just stayed with what we do."
Two days before the Islanders' 2019-20 season officially gets underway Friday at 7 p.m. from Nassau Coliseum in East Garden City, New York, odds became available Wednesday for the Stanley Cup.
According to Odds Shark, the Islanders are a notch above the Rangers, tied with the Montreal Canadiens at +3500.
The entire list can be seen below.
Forward Josh Ho-Sang, the New York Islanders' 2014 first-round pick, was placed on waivers by the team on Monday.
Ho-Sang, 23, will report to the team's AHL team, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, if he clears waivers and is not claimed by another NHL team by Tuesday.
Joining Ho-Sang on waivers are defenseman Thomas Hickey and forward Tanner Fritz.

Islanders owner Jon Ledecky recently reacted to the groundbreaking of the team's new Belmont arena, and he's happy to be building a new home for "the greatest fans in sports."
"We've doubled our season ticket holder base moving some games to Nassau (Coliseum), and we're going to double it again because now all of the surrounding communities have the ability to enjoy hockey here in a couple of years."
Barry Trotz is excited for the Islanders' new arena with the team officially breaking ground on Monday.
Trotz said the new arena will offer great security for the Islanders and their fans for years to come.
With Governor Andrew Cuomo and other dignitaries on hand, the Islanders officially broke ground on their new arena in Belmont Park on Monday afternoon.
It was also announced that the Isles will play 28 games at Nassau Coliseum this season -- seven more than originally planned.
"The Islanders belong on Long Island - and today we start building the state-of-the-art home this team and their fans deserve while generating thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity for the region's economy," Governor Cuomo said. "With seven more Islanders games at the Coliseum this season, fans will have even more opportunities to see their favorite team and generate momentum for the move to their new home in two years. At the end of the day this project is about building on two great Long Island traditions - Belmont Park and the Islanders - and making them greater than ever."
According to Arthur Staple of The Athletic, the Islanders have officially signed center Derick Brassard to a one year deal worth $1.2 million.
Brassard, 31, has played in 786 career NHL games with six different teams over the course of his career. He entered the league in 2006, when the Columbus Blue Jackets selected him with the No. 6 overall pick, and played there until 2013. Among his other stops are the New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, Pittsburgh Penguins, Florida Panthers, and most recently the Colorado Avalanche.
Last season, which he spent with the Penguins, the Panthers, and the Avalanche, Brassard played in 70 games and managed 14 points off goals and 23 points total. It was definitely the worst season of the veteran's career, but he does bring some offense to the third line.
The Islanders were a true upstart and underdog story last season in the NHL, rolling to a surprise second-place finish in the Metropolitan Division and a first-round sweep of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
That dream run ended when the Carolina Hurricanes returned the sweep favor in the second round, but Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello says a major key to continue the franchise's recent successes was the approval of the organization's new Belmont arena.
"You know how big it is. Without a new arena, there would not be the Islanders on Long Island. I think that says it all," Lamoriello told Newsday.
Former Islanders goalie Robin Lehner was awarded the 2018-19 Masterton Trophy, given annually to the National Hockey League player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to ice hockey.
On Saturday, he shared a photo of the trophy on his Twitter account, with one glaring error.

Disappointing seasons from the Rangers and Devils prompted impressive offseason work from both organizations. It certainly helped that both teams had the top two picks in the NHL Draft -- selections that netted potentially franchise-altering talents in Kappo Kakko and Jack Hughes, respectively.
While they didn't have a high draft pick or significant free agent signing, the Islanders made a handful of moves, mainly in the form of re-signings. For the most part, their roster enters 2019-20 relatively unchanged.
Taking all of this into consideration, here's a closer look at the biggest moves each organization made...

On the heels of the Islanders' winningest season since 1984, the expectation was that the team would try its hardest to keep Vezina Trophy finalist Robin Lehner around.
Once free agency started though, Lehner might as well have been voted off the Island.
According to Lehner, he was given an "ultimatum" from the Islanders, and they moved on without hearing his decision.

The Islanders lost out on goalie Robin Lehner but replaced him with Semyon Varlamov.
After Lehner agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal with the Chicago Blackhawks, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie, the Islanders announced they agreed to a four-year deal with Varlamov.
Varlamov, 31, had a 2.87 goals against average and .909 save percentage in 49 games for the Colorado Avalanche last season. His contract will carry an average annual value of $5 million.

The Islanders lost a productive member of last year's playoff team on the first day of NHL free agency.
Valtteri Filppula, the team's third-line center, has left the Island to return to the Detroit Red Wings.
Filppula signed a two-year, $6 million deal with the Red Wings, coming back to the city that drafted him. Filppula played eight years in Detroit and won a Stanley Cup in his first stint with the team.

The top free agent in the NHL market this summer is by far Artemi Panarin, the Blue Jackets' left winger that has been a consistent points machine for four seasons. The Islanders are expected to be very aggressive in trying to land him, but they don't seem to be the favorite at the moment.
According to The Post's Brett Cyrgalis, the Panthers are the leading candidate to land the 27-year-old. The two main reasons Cyrgalis has the Panthers at the top is the fact that Florida doesn't have any state income taxes, and the Panthers have hired Joel Quenneville as head coach. Quennevile coached Panarin during his first two seasons with the Blackhawks.
Why does income tax matter? Florida can actually offer Panarin more than the Islanders, or even the Rangers, when it comes down to contracts. Panarin is looking to settle down with a seven-year deal at $11-12 million per season.
The Islanders have announced their schedule for the 2019-20 season.
Check out the full home schedule below and click here for the full 82-game schedule.
Now that the NHL Draft is over, the Islanders must turn their full attention to avoiding a second consecutive summer defined by the departure of their team captain.
John Tavares infamously bolted for hometown Toronto as an unrestricted free agent last July, and the Isles are moving precariously close to his replacement wearing the "C" - left wing Anders Lee -- hitting the open market. Free agents can begin speaking with other teams beginning Sunday, with the signing period slated to open on July 1.
"I never thought it would get to this point, but I guess it's the nature of what this week means," Lee told Newsday at a charitable function to raise money for children with cancer on Saturday in New York.

Islanders goalie Robin Lehner is no stranger to long odds. Suggesting at this time a year ago that he would be a Masterton Trophy winner and a Vezina Trophy finalist might have even surprised Lehner, though.
Lehner took home the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy Wednesday night, awarded to the player who best exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to the game. Earlier this season, he shared his inspiring story about his battle with addiction and bipolar disorder, which resulted in an outpouring of support and admiration from players and fans alike. Lehner responded by leading the Isles to the playoffs with the best season of his career.
Before he collected his award, Lehner spoke about his looming contract situation. He isn't signed for next season, but made it very clear on Tuesday's media day that he desperately wants to be back on the Island.

Islanders head coach Barry Trotz was awarded the 2019 Jack Adams Award, given annually to the NHL coach who contributed the most to his team's success.
Trotz is the second Islanders head coach to ever win the award, joining Al Arbour in 1978-79.
In his first season with the Islanders, Trotz led the club to a 103-point campaign, their highest point total since the 1983-84 season. The Islanders' fourth-place Eastern Conference ranking was their best finish since the conference was created in 1993.

The Islanders surprised many by re-signing winger Jordan Eberle last week to a five-year, $27.5 million contract. Although Eberle's numbers took a dip last season, he was important during the playoffs and fills an important void as a top-six winger.
Eberle took a slight pay cut to re-sign and has said that he enjoys playing on Long Island. Still, the deal came as a bit of a shocker to some fans, who are still waiting on clarity regarding the futures of captain Anders Lee and Vezina Trophy finalist Robin Lehner.
Don't worry, Isles fans. There is likely still enough money to bring back Lee and Lehner. The team has $22 million in cap space, with only Lee, Lehner, a few depth pieces and restricted free agents Anthony Beauvillier and Michael Dal Colle to sign. There should be enough room to at least sign Lee and Lehner and the RFAs.

Jordan Eberle is sticking with the Islanders.
The 29-year-old winger, who was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1, agreed to a five-year, $27.5 million contract extension with the Islanders on Friday. The new deal will carry a $5.5 million cap hit.
The Islanders originally traded for Eberle before the 2017-18 season in a deal that sent Ryan Strome to the Edmonton Oilers.

Cal Clutterbuck and Andrew Ladd have been through surgery, but they are on different recovery timelines.
After undergoing back surgery, Clutterbuck -- who had two slipped discs, two rotated vertebrae and a stress fracture -- has a good chance to be ready for training camp.
"It's my understanding he will be," Lou Lamoriello told The Athletic. "But honestly it's a process I don't know much about. He's doing well right now. I get updates all the time, he's been here. We just have to trust the process and the doctors. It turned out the way the doctors felt it would."
Tags: Andrew Ladd, Cal Clutterbuck
The Islanders announced on Friday they re-signed impending free agent Tanner Fritz to a two-year contract.
According to multiple reports, Fritz will get $700,000 next season on a one-way deal, but he'll be on a two-way deal for the 2020-21 season. He'll earn $700,000 that season in the NHL, or have a $250,000 salary in the AHL but will get $275,000 guaranteed.
The 27-year-old forward provides depth up front for the Isles. He was thrust into a pivotal role in March as the third-line center when Valtteri Filppula went down with an elbow injury.
Although no New York-area teams made it to the Stanley Cup Final this year, the Empire State will still have a large impact on hockey's grandest stage. Twelve players from the Boston Bruins and St. Louis Blues have connections with the New York metro area in some way, so local fans still have plenty of reasons to tune in.
Boston Bruins
The Bruins have one of the largest collections of American-born hockey players of any team in the NHL. Not surprisingly, several of them have called New York home for at least part of their careers.

The Islanders announced they re-signed forward Brock Nelson to a six-year deal on Thursday.
The 27-year-old Nelson ranked third on the team with 53 points this season, scoring 25 goals and tallying 28 assists in 82 games.
Tags: Brock Nelson
With about a month-and-a-half remaining until the start of free agency on July 1, and just more than five weeks until the interview period, there's nothing certain yet regarding which of the Islanders' pending unrestricted free agents will be back with the team.
Mining for information from a Lou Lamoriello-run team can often be an exercise in futility. So The Athletic's Arthur Staple spoke with several outside sources to try to get a better sense of what may happen with Anders Lee, Brock Nelson, Jordan Eberle, Robin Lehner and Valtteri Filppula.

The Islanders cleaned out their lockers on Monday and officially closed out their 2018-19 season, which saw them reach the second-round of the playoffs only to be swept by the Carolina Hurricanes.
While the team lost John Tavares to the Toronto Maple Leafs last summer, the Islanders still exceeded expectations behind first-year head coach Barry Trotz and first-year team president Lou Lamoriello.
Lamoriello and Trotz both addressed the media on Monday on what lies ahead for the franchise. Center Mathew Barzal, captain Anders Lee and goalie Robin Lehner, the latter of whom are free agents, also discussed the future of the team as well as what could be in store for their own futures.

Islanders winger Cal Clutterbuck had a plethora of back issues that will likely require surgery.
Per Arthur Staple of The Athletic, Clutterbuck has a stress fracture, two slipped disks and two rotated vertebrae. Brett Cyrgalis of The Post, reported Clutterbuck plans to meet with doctors soon to discuss surgery options.
The extent of his recovery time could be anywhere between four to six weeks or four to six months and it is hard to imagine it will not be the latter, which would likely mean he would start next season on the IR.

There will be a sour taste in the Islanders' mouths after being swept by Carolina, one round after sweeping Pittsburgh. This surprising season was indubitably a success given their low expectations, but knowing that the Eastern Conference was wide open and there for the taking will leave the Isles closely examing the hows and whys of their elimination.
It leads into what will be a crucial summer for the Islanders. They've got the coach, they've got the GM and they've gone from having a bleak outlook to legitimate contenders. Now they need to figure out how to take the next step toward winning the Stanley Cup. Here are five big questions the Islanders face entering the offseason.
1. Will Robin Lehner remain with the Islanders?

Barry Trotz couldn't find the right buttons to push as the Islanders were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs Friday evening.
Different line combinations, a goaltender swap early in the second period and the threat of elimination weren't enough as the Hurricanes defeated the Islanders 5-2 and advanced to the Eastern Conference Final for the first time since 2008-09.
Several teams have won 4-0 and then lost 0-4 in consecutive playoff series. However, the only team to do that in the first two rounds of a postseason since the NHL expanded the first round to best-of-seven in 1986-87 was the Sabres in 1993 when they swept the Bruins and then were swept by the Canadiens (per Elias Sports Bureau.)

Four up, four down. That's how it went for the Islanders in the playoffs as after they swept the Penguins in the first round, they just couldn't make enough plays to pull out a victory against the Hurricanes. The Isles dropped Game 4 Friday night, 5-2, and were swept out of the postseason. >> Box Score
Six takeaways from Friday's game...
Tags: Carolina Hurricanes, Mathew Barzal, Robin Lehner, Thomas Greiss
After more than a day of speculation, Robin Lehner keeps the Islander net for Game 4 Friday night, with Thomas Greiss remaining on the bench.
Cal Clutterbuck, who played in Game 3 despite dealing with an apparent leg injury, is out Friday. Michael Dal Colle enters the lineup.
Tags: Cal Clutterbuck, Michael dal Colle, Robin Lehner, Thomas Greiss
After saying Thursday he was considering wholesale changes to the Islanders' lineup, Barry Trotz wouldn't reveal his plans Friday hours before their do-or-die Game 4 in Raleigh.
Trotz said he wanted to keep the Hurricanes "on their toes" and didn't name a starting goaltender. Robin Lehner has started the Isles' first seven playoff games, but he worked in a timeshare with Thomas Greiss during the season.
Tags: Robin Lehner, Thomas Greiss
The Islanders could look very different in Game 4.
Barry Trotz is considering a lineup overhaul with the Islanders on the brink, trailing Carolina 3-0 in the second round heading into Friday's do-or-die contest.
And those changes might even including benching Vezina finalist Robin Lehner.
"At all positions," Trotz said when asked about where changes could come.
Tags: Robin Lehner, Thomas Greiss
The Islanders might get swept Friday night in Raleigh, but there won't be any brooms in PNC Arena.
In a message to season-ticket holders, the Hurricanes told fans that brooms won't be allowed inside when Carolina hosts Game 4 of the second-round series.

The OJIBWE Language:
Ojibwe, otherwise anglicized as Chippewa, Ojibwa or Ojibway and known to its own speakers as Anishinabe or Anishinaabemowin, is an Algonquian language spoken by 50,000 people in the northern United States and southern Canada. There are five main dialects of the Ojibwe: Western Ojibwe, Eastern Ojibwe, Norther Ojibwe (Severn Ojibwe or Oji-Cree), Southern Ojibwe (Minnesota Ojibwe or Chippewa), and Ottawa (Odawa or Odaawa). The Ottawa have always been politically independent from the Ojibwe, but their language is essentially the same--speakers of all five dialects, including Ottawa, can understand each other readily. Many linguists also consider the Algonquin language to be an Ojibwe dialect, but it has diverged more and is difficult for Western Ojibwe speakers to understand. As its name suggests, Oji-Cree has borrowed many elements from Cree and is often written in the Cree syllabary rather than the English alphabet. On the whole Ojibwe is among the heartiest of North American languages, with many children being raised to speak it as a native language.
Can I really learn to speak a new language?
Learning a new language can be as easy as when you first learned to speak English. Dr. Paul Pimsleur's original and unique method enables you to acquire new language ability as effortlessly as children absorb their native language.

What Pimsleur Method Students Say About the Program:
"WOW, IT REALLY WORKS! Yes, it really works..If the first tape gives me this fluency/confidence; it goes without saying that the rest will do the same. I started speaking in German with my friends. Buy it, listen to it and find yourself speaking German."
--Ik Soo Lim, Lausanne, Switzerland
"I found Pimsleur Portuguese VERY EASY TO USE. I have other self-taught programs, but this was by far the best. The speakers enunciated well and allowed you enough time to repeat the phrases without rushing. There is no writing or reading to be done. Using my walkman, I found it convenient to carry with me and listen. The key to this program is the repetition. I enjoy using it."
--John Holmes, Burtonsville, MD
"Excellent! WELL WORTH THE MONEY. These tapes are tremedous for learning to speak the language. They train you to actually think in German - you are not just regurgitating set phrases, but learning to use the language in many different ways. I am saving my money for the second set - if the first set is this good, I can only imagine how much I could learn from all three sets!"
--Wendi Dunlap, Seattle, WA
"PIMSLEUR IS THE BEST EVER! This is the best program available to learn Korean on the market today. I know because I have audited a dozen of them. It is very simple. Just play a side per day."
--D.M. Rothschild, Ph.D.
"It's great! This audiobook made me and my little sister learn the basics of the French language. It's really effective. Well, Dr. Pimsleur's method works for both the young and the old. Now, I YEARN TO LEARN MORE!"
--Leah Nillas, Quezon City, Philippines
"Top-quality teach-yourself Japanese, no reading involved. LEARNING LANGUAGES WAS NEVER THIS MUCH FUN...I would recommend this to all who would like to begin their study of the Japanese language...the Pimsleur method is very easy to learn from, hear and repeat."
--Christopher Muro, Pittsburgh, PA
"Very quick start to German. These tapes allow you to learn as quickly or slowly as you like. Also, the way that it is presented allowed me to retain the skills much longer than I was able to using book or book-and-tape methods. Perhaps most importantly, by learning aurally and practicing orally I DEVELOPED VERY GOOD PRONUNCIATION."
--Damien Del Russo, Dusseldorf, Germany
What Pimsleur Method Critics Say About the Program:
"Pimsleur Method programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur Method gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed."
--AudioFile Magazine
"EXTREMELY ACCESSIBLE...each section within the lessons is short enough to hold our attention, and there is enough repetition to teach even those who consider themselves slow learners...Pimsleur Method [programs] are extremely thorough and easy to use--quite lively!"
--Boston Herald
"Learn French while commuting, German while jogging, Spanish (or Russian, Italian, Japanese) while cooking all with NO WRITTEN MATERIALS!"
--New York Daily News
"Designed for the ear and not the eye...the lessons provide PERFECT 30-minute bites of work."
--St. Louis Post-Dispatch
"Learn to habla español or parlez français before your next trip abroad. The interactive LESSONS CHALLENGE STUDENTS to use new words in conversation instead of memorize them."
--American Way (American Airlines inflight magazine)
"I tried other language programs with little success...This is the best by far!"
--Pamela A. Mitchell, Pilot, International Society of Women Airline Pilots
"Learn basic conversation fast with...the all-audio Pimsleur Method series."
--Business 2.0 Magazine

IMHO, The best way to relieve stress is to figuring out what is stressing you and deal with it. I'm usually stressed because I have too much to do. The solution is either (a) power through and get it done so I can stop thinking about it or (b) find a way to reduce the workload.
My stress relief is nothing special, just exercise and talking out my frustrations with my husband, mom, dad, or friend.
And sometimes a stiff drink does the trick.
I find Yoga to be super helpful. I also really like to do puzzles. I can just sort of zone out and put the thing together.
I go to the gym. I drop the kids off and run or get on the elliptical machine and just go - I don't watch the TV, I just think and clear my head. Plus, it gives the kids and I a sort of break from each other in the late afternoon.
Like others, exercise is my best remedy. I especially like to play exercise games on the Wii to really take my mind off off life's hassles; the competitive nature gives me a new short-term goal and sense of accomplishment to generate positive emotions. By the end of a really good workout, I'm sweating and exhausted, far too exhausted to worry about whatever was stressing me out in the first place.
I sew and bind books when I get stressed. I find that the process of folding paper, sewing the sections of a book together, and the entire process of bookbinding to be therapeutic. Since I usually feel stress because of some sort of chaos in my life, the control that I have over paper, needle and thread gives me a sense of order and calm. I am then able to transfer that calm to whatever aspect of my life has been disrupted.
Daily, I find that walking in the park for 30 minutes usually unwinds me. But my real stress-buster is the beach. I live in north Jersey, and I can feel myself unwind as I'm driving down the parkway!
I go for a nice long walk with my dog. Just getting that fresh air and physical exercise plus bonding with my very understanding best friend really helps clear my head. Also good for de-stressing: naps, a decadent bubble bath, and chocolate!
A Glass of wine works wonders, but especially if I share it with a friend and we get a vent a bit.
Personally what works for me is exercise. My stress levels often go through the roof when I'm not getting enough movement. At the same time my thinking is sluggish and I struggle to take any sort of meaningful action. However, when I exercise this has a tendency to clear up my mind, thoughts and attitude. This relieves stress and has a tendency to focus me on solutions rather than problems.
I have also found that watching a sitcom or reading something funny can help relieve stress. However, nothing beats exercise :)
The first thing I do is step back from my To Do list and prioritize what needs to be done. What can be done tomorrow?
Then I fix some tea, light a candle and escape for a cupful.
I imagine achieving the things I really want and think about small steps toward my goals.
If I'm in the car, I turn on the radio or sing my heart out if nothing but commercials is on.
I eat a dark chocolate candy bar and deep breathing exercises.5 Benefits of Dark Chocolate
1. Studies have shown dark chocolate to lower blood pressure
2. Studies have also shown dark chocolate to lower bad cholesterol (LDL)
3. It turns women on more than a passionate kissing session (no wonder they want it for Valentine's Day!)
4. Contains serotonin, a natural mood-boosting anti-depressant
5. Stimulates pleasure-inducing endorphin production
Doing something mindless I really enjoy (watching certain 80's movies) and/or meditation usually work.
The universal way. It's relaxing, healthy, increases endorphins, and it's free! Even Dear Abby approved.
Yoga, a long run, or a nice walk along the beach. However, if I need to let off steam, I go for a hard workout and listen to some loud music.
Relieving stress is a matter of resetting the brain to a different mode. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, but the main point is to change the channel. Life is a series of events and circumstances...it's how you REACT to these events and circumstances that determine the effect they have on you. Say a tree falls in your yard and you have to get out there and chop it up...instead of moaning and complaining, look at it as a chance to get out in the fresh air and get some exercise. Say you lose your job...look at it as an opportunity to get a BETTER job. No matter what the circumstances, there are always several ways to look at it. Choose to find a positive course of action no matter what the source of the stress is.
Way to Reduce Stress - Karate!
With Karate, your attention must be focused on the pad or your partner to perfect technique and ensure accuracy. Coordinating a combination of kicks and power punches and reading your opponent's moves takes total concentration so your mind must be empty of all other thoughts. After an hour of intense focus and exercise your head becomes clearer and your body's had a great workout. Plus, you learn how to better defend yourself!
Hollis Colquhoun
i relieve stress by just coming home and relaxing in my recliner or out on my patio- plus a nap does wonders as well!
I hide in my room and read a book or take a nap. Or I take a nice hot bath and read a book and lite candles around the tub,
I find humor to be the best stress killer. If you look close enough you can see the humerus side of almost any situation. As the old saying goes: "Life is a tragedy to the man who feels, but a comedy to the man who thinks."
When I am stressed I go for a walk around the neighborhood, and sometimes I bring my cell phone. Just talking through your stress releases some of the pressure. Not only that, but your friend might be able to help you come up with a plan of action to get rid of the stress altogether.
Like many others, I go to the gym. I put on a fast playlist and just go.
Thursdays I do a kickboxing class (with real bags to hit and kick). It's an amazing stress relief. I call it my weekly percussive therapy session.
I also spend time with friends, particularly friends who I know can and will make me laugh. Nothing like sitting around drinking milkshakes or soda (well, they're often drinking wine. But since I don't like the taste, I usually get a milk shake or soda) talking and laughing and not worrying about the rest of life and the world for a while.
When things get really stressful, I often take a night off. I gather up some friends (again, often the friends who can and will make me laugh, but ya know) for dinner and a fun movie of no consequence (no suspense movies or straight drama. Gotta be something fun and preferably funny). I forbid conversations about serious things that are going on in life for the duration of the evening (although usually fill everyone in on what's going on via an email before the event) and, for a few hours at least, we all pretend like everything is 100% amazingly good. It's a short break from reality, but it often helps with major stressful situations and lets me take a fresher, more calm look at the situation when I get back to real life.
I have a super busy job, so I try to deal with stress in various ways. One is an email management tip I picked up for those days when you get too much in your inbox: if I get a personal or work email that I can deal with in less than 3 minutes, I'll deal with it, instead of leaving it for later. Another is that I found a yoga studio a few blocks from my office. I always keep a yoga mat in my office and try to head to a class if I've had a hectic day. This gives me (i) some relaxation and (ii) a break from my work. Luckily, I can come and go as I please at work, so it's easy to take off whenever I want!
I go to my vegetable garden and work in the soil. Somehow weeding, so the plants can have more room, going to the compost bin and getting worms to add around....just makes you feel better!
I love to hike in our nearby forestry trails. There is nothing better than a free, frugal walk in the likes of mother nature. The easy hike always helps recenter my mind and make me feel at peace.
I take a break from whatever I'm doing that's causing me stress - often this involves grading papers or updating my budget (which I also blog about frequently) - and talk to somebody. Three times already this week, I've taken the time to quickly call up my parents or a friend just for a breather. Nothing like catching up and laugh with somebody I care about.
Of course, in this day and age, most people text or Tweet or update their Facebook pages to stay connected. I do too, but nothing replaces a phone call and actually talking to someone. If anything, being on the Internet instead of being with people makes me feel isolated, and sometimes depressed. So put down your phone and make some phone calls or lunch dates!
How Do You Relieve Stress? close my eyes, meditate, breathe deeply, then eat chocolate - works every time.
I like to turn on some music and dance around the living room with my kids. This usually turns into a big tickle-fest on the floor. So, I get exercise and laughter and those two things are great for relieving stress.
Call any customer service. Then start b****ing for any reason for few minutes. It will be fun and a way to relieve stress.
I relieve stress by soaking in a bubble bath with a good book, with a plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (my secret: I use the break & bake and made a handful at a time, so they are deliciously warm and gooey every time) and a glass of milk. Maybe it sounds strange to eat in the bathtub, but after a long day, I really look forward to this.
When I feel stressed I paint river rocks with my acrylic paints. No stress, just draw or paint anything that I want. Takes my mind off of stressors of everyday life!
If I can, I get to the gym or go for a long run. If exercise is out of the equation, then a shot or two of a blended scotch.
I curl up with a cup of hot cocoa or tea and read! Nothing beats escapism :-) Other stress busters include listening to new age music, blogging to vent off steam, and taking a walk in a beautiful natural setting. Also, laughter is the best medicine -- playing with our 6-month-old daughter and our cat sometimes help too.
I take a break from whatever I am doing and call someone I know who is also in a stressful situation -- unemployed, dealing with health issues, etc. -- and see if they need anything. Most of the time they don't need much but the call does us both good. Sometimes reminding myself that I am not the only one dealing with stress and getting away from my own issues is all I need to get my focus on dealing with issues productively.
Get completely away from the thing that's causing you stress, and get it out of your mind--no matter what you have to do to accomplish this.
Then, do something that brings you simple pleasure.
Watch a football game, read a book, do nothing, sleep, whatever.
After you feel "relieved" then its time to get back to eliminating that "stressor" from your life.
I go out into nature and PRAY. Then I listen. Next I plan how to handle whatever it is that is causing the stress. Once I take action I feel more empowered. My avoidance behaviors include eating my favorite foods and reading.
I would refer you to an old post of mine on my blog at: http://sleeplessandtired.com/?p=33
"A Stress Reliever Remedy From the Good Old Days"
I hope you will post the best of your entries for all to read, as this is an important topic in today's stress-filled and sleep deprived world.
Ronald Czarnecki
I write to relieve stress...there's something about putting pen to paper that gets all of those negative emotions out...
Long walks outside, going to the library and reading some fun books and browsing the shelves, people watching, and swinging on the swingset!
I listen to music and walk when I'm stressed. It's a great way to relax, and I find it also helps if it's in the dark. But I'm kind of strange like that :)
Playing with my dog helps me take a break from pressing issues and just enjoy the present. Once I started taking her to dog parks I discovered you can enjoy this stress-reliever whether you own a dog or not. You don't need a dog to come to the dog park to chat, watch the dogs play, or just pet some furry friends. Go with a friend or a canine babysitting charge- it's like visiting a petting zoo!
I have 3 main ways to relieve stress, depending on where I am:
At work- Deep breaths and hot tea. Both allow me to slow down and refocus.
At home- Needlepoint. I find the rhythmic nature of it soothing.
In the car- Singing at the top of my lungs to whatever playlists is on. Sure, I may look silly but I won't be stressed! :)
I walk to unwind. With a full household, getting out into the fresh air and sunlight and walking daily is a must. I have found that walking allows me to clear my head and without anyone asking "Mom can I?" or "Mom where is?" for an hour I can recharge myself.
Exercise! My new favorites are yoga and zumba--I recently joined a gym, and go four times a week. I also enjoy walking. Also, one 5 oz. glass of wine or one 12 oz. beer (the limit suggested for women) with dinner on most nights.
If the stress is something I don't have control over or input on...I remove myself from it. I love to walk, especially in a park or forest. I pray and am simply quiet, observing things/people around me. I go to a coffee shop, get a mocha (mini-vacation in a cup!) and spend a few hours editing images or surfing the internet.
If the stress is something I have a choice about, am I ready to deal with it? Can I voice my feelings without blowing up? At some point, the cause of the stress needs to be addressed. Do I have time to write a response first (to boil it down to the basics), then verbalize my feelings? I find it's better to say "I need to think about my response, I'll answer you in a minute." than to blurt out all my pent-up feelings (including many fleeting thoughts that should have remained unsaid)!
I also find that nature or street photography is very therapeutic, as is weeding my garden!

There was big music festival up these ways that I had
never been to before this weekend. Its been going since
1982 and here's a description from the history of
country music website.
It's been described as the quintessential Aussie event and
with the towering gums and leisurely lagoons of beautiful
Amamoor Creek State Forest Park near Gympie in Queensland
it's the perfect setting for more than 25,000 people who
flock to the National Country Music Muster each year in the
last week of August. The Muster attracts fans from all
corners of the nation to see the stars and legends
(and would be stars!), of Australian country music on the
main Muster stage. And there's 13 other on-site venues too,
including folk, alt-country, bush poetry, country dance,
Talent Search, workshops, international film festival,
art auctions, not to mention a full-on Blues program.
All new to me but I'm learning, I have to say there was
quite a lot of folk and roots type stuff to make me more
than happy. Not a big fan of your regular American
commercial country music, I do like Alt country very
Ted Egan is an old favorite, I've seen him many times
at Woodford and even in Alice on the 25 anniversary of
the Wave Hill strike. He is one of Australia's greatest
story tellers and sings his songs accompanied only by
his Foster phone, an empty beer carton.
This band the borders are the sort of non- country
thing you can see, some sort of very energetic Celtic
type band they had the crowd up and dancing.
Graeme Conners is a gifted songwriter from north Queensland
who put on a great show, showcasing songs that had influenced
him and the songs he wrote in response.
He performed a wide ranging number of songs, from trad bush
songs, Neil Murray, Slim Dusty and even Rolf Harris.
But it was the legendary Bushwackers I was waiting for,
I once saw them at Woodford and they were a sight to
behold. Tonight they didn't disappoint!
I've followed this band since I was like 16 or something,
as politically explosive as Redgum but far more musical,
entertaining and bloody good fun, that's how I would
describe them.
Dobe Newton hit the stage in a brilliant blue suit and
attacked the stage with his Lager Phone like Nick Caves
Grand Dad, you would have to be dead not to be
moved by these guys. They keep you constantly enthralled,
moving between Dobe and Roger Corbett singing different
songs and their fantastic instrumentals,
leading a "heel and toe" bush dance and many funny moments
like when Dobe dedicates the 2nd song in to all the gay cowboys,
tells some clogg dancers to bugger off over there, pointing
to the dance venue and when he discovered that he'd done
the first few songs with his fly undone.
Some new songs, loads of oldies it was a great time,
I even managed to hit the dance floor with my girl.

Great read Bob. I discovered the Alt Country scene a few years back and it has been an ear opener to say the least. In fact I can even say that I am now an unabashed fan of all kinds of Country's various sub genres. For those that are interested there is a fabulous duo doing the rounds in Brisbane called Texas Tea. Kate the singer has a super voice live. They write soulful Gothic tunes that stay in the mind. Another local act I suggest to check out is Bluegrass specialists The Wilson Pickers. They sound like Paul Kelly meets Neil Young meets Flatt and Scruggs. They are appearing at The Troubadour soon and I am going all things being equal.

How you going john, I do love Texas tea and have all their stuff. My fav current Brissy act. Kate Jacobson is playing at GOMA on the 11th I think
as part of up late the next week Robert Forster is playing.
I shall have to check out the wilson pickers.

Hi all,
I am Maria from Brisbane.
I have always love the Bushwackers and indeed have some of their albums.
What I really need to know is where and when I can see them perform.
Or when there is a bush dance get together in Brisbane, I am longing to bush dance again, as I don't drive anymore I need some thing to attend in Brisbane.
Hopefully yours maria.

Hi Maria, the bushwackers web site
is the place to see when they are playing , it looks like Tamworth is the next time, they havent played much in recent years.
I did a bit of a search on bush dances in brisbane and found some stuff,
The Australian Woolshed
A typical Australian experience at The Australian Woolshed at Ferny Hills. Located about 20 minutes by car from the CBD, it features the popular Ram Show, which includes a shearing demonstration, spinning display and working sheepdog demonstration, as well as Friday and Saturday night bush dance dinners.
But sounding better is this
Northey street city farm
BUSH DANCE 28th nov
Our popular annual Bush-dance returns this month. Our regular band, 'Whirlygig' returns, with full calls, so that
everyone can get to dance. Roo & Clytie, who make up the 'Honeyeaters' also return to entertain us through
the evening. This is very much a relaxed evening, at minimal cost, for all ages
Ciao Bob

Hi Guys,
There have been a number of interesting threads on data security, PC security and secure data deletion of late so I thought I would run this past you. Sorry it is so long Guess I never use one word when I can use 10?
Basic PC data security can be divided into two distinct elements:
1. Physical Security
2. Electronic Security
If an unauthorised person gains physical access to your machine, you are compromised, must expect the worst, and react accordingly. This would generally require removal from any network and Internet connection, formatting the hard drive and re-installation of the software. This is really the only way to ensure that you have negated any malicious software that the person might have loaded.
Where a machine contains sensitive data it should be kept under lock and key, and not left unattended whilst activated. Physical access control systems are commonplace for mainframes through to server farms, but desktop PCs are distributed and therefore far more vulnerable.
In these situations it is common to use a password-protected screensaver that will disconnect the User after a set period of inactivity (say 5 minutes). The correct password must be entered to re-activate the machine or you have to re-boot and log on as a valid User.
In the circumstances, it is important to use a secure operating system and set your workgroups and User security/authority policies at appropriate levels. Obviously there is no security where everyone has administrator rights. Similarly, it is advisable to set up your own account names and dispose of any defaults, as these will certainly be known to hackers.
Secure machines frequently do not have CD, floppy drives, USB and other ports that are not essential. This is to prevent the removal of data, loading of unauthorised software, and attachment of unauthorised peripherals.
The BIOS should not permit the User to run set-up or booting from any source other than that in the security policy. It is widely known that the BIOS can be re-set using a jumper switch on the motherboard or by removing the battery. This will usually take it back to a relatively insecure factory default position. To avoid this, the case should be locked to prevent easy access to the motherboard/battery. A better solution for larger organisations is to have a custom BIOS that reflects their security policies, such that re-setting gets an intruder nowhere, as it just restores the custom settings. The BIOS should prevent the attachment of unauthorised peripherals.
A machine that is so secured is far less vulnerable to a direct physical intrusion.
Whilst this might be considered good practice, it must not be considered foolproof. I once encountered an ex-corporate machine that was protected in this way, and I did not know the keystrokes or password to enter set-up. The 3.5 floppy drive had failed, and the system would not let the User replace it with another. I eventually resorted to inserting an incompatible memory module, booting, powering off and removing the offending memory, then re-booting. The machine recovered from the shock, then recognised the new floppy drive!!!
Because internal Users might be inclined to load inappropriate software or otherwise compromise security, it is important for organisations to have a strict usage policy that is well publicised, and in the employees contracts. It really boils down to education in safe computing, and acceptable behaviour in the workplace.
Random audits are a good method of enforcing these policies. I am not being draconian, in many countries the employer would be liable for unlicensed software on their machines, and fined heavily if it were detected. In any case, all software should be approved by the IT department, or there is no point having reference (lab) machines, and testing new releases or new software. If you are going to permit anarchy in this area, I do not see how you can have any hope of maintaining a secure environment.
A final thought on physical security is the use of removable hard-drives. These slide in and out of the PC and can be safely locked away when not in use. If your BIOS is protected and the machine is not allowed to boot from anything other than the hard drive, physical access does not present that much of a security risk. These devices frequently have cooling fans, which is an added bonus.
Electronic security is generally aimed at protecting the privacy of your data and applications.
The only notable exception that comes to mind is software that monitors the internet connection. If the machine is stolen and connected on another line, it will attempt to alert the owner, or some security centre.
The most common electronic security is in the form of workgroups with authorities and passwords to access the system, and particular drives, files and applications. There is a lot of User education required as they must use strong passwords (letters, numbers, symbols, uppercase and lowercase), and they must be obliged to change them regularly. They must not leave them lying around or give them to other people. Whilst on this point, it is worth noting that providing you follow the principles above, the longer a password is the stronger it is, as it can only be cracked by the brute force method, which works character by character.
You have to assume that all passwords can be cracked, and you are just buying time. If it takes 3 months to crack your password file and your policy is to change passwords every 14 days, you will be safe. If it is the other way round, you are vulnerable.
It is possible to add an extra layer of security called pre-boot validation. An example of this is CompuSec v4.15, which gives the validation and full hard drive encryption. The idea is that even if the BIOS power up security is bypassed, you still need a password to load the operating system, and the relevant authorities and passwords after that.
I do not intend to discuss data encryption and compression, at any length, as there are many articles on the Internet regarding this subject, and a vast array of products that provide it. I would comment that if you are using them it would be wise to have a RAID1 array, where two hard drives are used and one is an exact mirror image of the other. I would not like to attempt data recovery from a crashed encrypted and compressed hard drive, particularly if the data were striped (RAID0)!
There is a similar consideration as for passwords. If all else is equal, the longer the encryption key, the longer it will take to crack it, but decryption is possible given enough time and resources. The basic principle is that once sensitive data are no longer required, they should be securely destroyed.
One area that is of interest, is the concept of secure data removal. Most people are aware that data does not get deleted from a computer. It is merely renamed, the file pointer removed and the space flagged as available for re-use (free space). There are numerous software tools that will allow this information to be retrieved afterwards.
Similarly, there are many tools that claim to wipe, erase or shred data. The way these work is to overwrite the target data with something else that is meaningless.
In my opinion, once a file has been overwritten once, it is not recoverable by software means, as the tool has no way of determining what was there previously. Military security tends to require overwriting 7 times. Three times each with 0s and 1s then a final time with random 0s and 1s. The largest number of overwriting passes I have seen was 99! but most products at least meet the military standard of 7.
The underlying logic of multiple overwriting is to flip the magnetic domains back and forth, so that the original data disappears into the general noise on the disk. It might be useful to consider the perceived threat in a bit more detail.
The problem lies in two aspects of magnetic media:
1. Magnetic Remanance
2. Track Overlay
When you overwrite magnetic media a trace or remnant of the previous data is left behind. This does not affect the function of the hard drive, as it reads the strongest signal, which is the last one. An example might be that you write three 1s, the first is on unused space and gives a value of 1, the second is over a zero, and gives a value of 0.95, and the third is over another one, and gives a value of 1.05. It is thus relatively simple to deduce that the original data were blank, zero, one. The hard drive would report 1, 1, 1, which is why I believe that a software recovery attempt would fail.
The second problem stems from the fact that the heads on the hard drive do not track in exactly the same place each time, so a thin strip of the previous data can be left behind. Whilst this is a problem for hard drives, it is a much more serious one for floppies, particularly if different drives have been used, as they are much less accurate in their tracking.
The only safe way to deal with a floppy is to burn it or pulverise it, that is, grind it to powder. As an aside, it is much more environmentally friendly to remove the disk from the floppy first, and recycle the empty plastic case in the normal way.
I must admit that I am not a great fan of degaussing as a means of sanitising magnetic media. The standard equipment is not designed for secure deletion, only to prepare media for re-use. A strong enough field would probably ruin the media anyway, it certainly would with a hard drive, and there are much more cost effective methods of total destruction. Another problem with degaussing is that it is less effective the longer the data have been written to the media, so one could never be absolutely sure.
The method that potentially allows recovery of data is called magnetic force scanning tunnelling microscopy. It would require physical access to the media in laboratory clean room conditions, which would mean that either your media has been stolen, or you are in big trouble with the FEDS. As it is a physical method, it wont work on a copy as far as I can tell, at least not a copy that someone could take from your workplace. However, you must consider the possibility of someone cloning your drive and leaving the clone in your machine, whilst taking the original for analysis, would you be likely to notice that?
The basic principle seems to be to measure the absolute magnetic value of the data and compare this to the nominal value of the current data. This will certainly work for one overwrite and maybe even two or three, but once you get beyond that, the interpretation algorithms become exponentially more complex. That is NOT to say impossible. Like most security, all you are doing is buying time, if someone has the will, the time and the money, you are history.
This brings us to the secure deletion software. This relies on overwriting the data a sufficient number of times to deter anyone from attempting a physical reconstruction on the grounds that it would be to complex, time consuming, and costly.
There does not seem to be any real agreement amongst software suppliers and security experts as to what the best number of overwrites is. The magic number of 7 is mentioned quite frequently, but that is probably because it complies with DoD standard 5220.22-M (and possibly 28-M?). It is also the value chosen by the German military.
Peter Gutmann, on the other hand, suggests a generic cycle of 35 passes. This is to cover the three most common hard disk encoding schemes, so if you know what your encoding scheme is, you can achieve the same result with fewer passes. It is interesting to note that he includes 8 random data passes.
I believe that care needs to be taken to sufficiently vary and randomise the passes. If I know that you overwrote 50 times alternately with 0 and 1, I would not have to be a genius to calculate the original data values, provided that I had the equipment to measure the absolute ones. Apart from the measurement question, you have really done little better than overwrite once. My message is that I would not trust a tool that had fixed patterns, on the grounds that it would be too predictable.
I am also inclined to favour systems that allow you to choose your hard disk encoding scheme, as they are much quicker. They generally have an option to do all 35 passes, but this is usually because you dont know your disks scheme, so you have to go for them all.
I am inclined to argue that the DoD standard is probably adequate for most purposes, particularly a due diligence defence?
At the end of the day, it is up to the individual to decide how secure the erasing needs to be, and how determined and likely a physical attack is. To put it bluntly, if your data are that sensitive, should you have them on your hard drive in the first place?
The kind of features I would look for in an erasing tool are:
1. DoD compliance as a minimum, preferably Gutmann as well
2. Sufficiently random in its overwriting to make prediction difficult
3. Ability to erase individual files, folders and whole drives
4. Ability to wipe free space
5. Provides confirmation, and error messages if it fails to erase
6. Scrambles and removes file names and dates
I would now like to consider one or two peripheral issues that relate to this kind of software.
As previously mentioned, your hard drive will have an amount of free or available space on it. This space is quite likely to contain the data from files that have been deleted in the normal way. There can also be all sorts of temporary and work files that Windows and your applications have created on the fly, then deleted in the standard way. It is quite possible for sensitive data to be in amongst this, so it is important that your chosen tool has the facility to erase this as well.
My main paranoia here is that although you probably keep sensitive data in encrypted folders or virtual drives, when you pull them out into an application, they are in your main system in an unencrypted form. They could well find their way into one of these temporary files in this unencrypted form? You put your data back into its safe location, and a copy is lying around on your system waiting to be exploited. This also applies to data in a restricted access application, the security has also been compromised.
For this reason, I suggest that your security tool should have the facility to wipe free space as a stand-alone task. I would suggest that you might want to schedule this to run on a daily cycle.
Following on from this is the concept of file slack. Here we have a file system that is composed of many clusters, or units of data storage. The system only thinks in terms of whole clusters, and will move to the start of the next cluster for its next storage allocation. If your cluster size is 16KB and you wish to store a 35KB file it will take three (3) clusters. This will mean that there is an unused space of 13 KB at the end of the file and before the start of the next cluster that will be used and overwritten. This slack space can easily contain sensitive data from a previous usage.
Obviously, the smaller the clusters, the less likely it is that meaningful data will be exposed, but the potential risk remains. The file wiping or sanitisation software should also overwrite slack space. It would also be highly desirable if it were to ignore space that has never been written to, as sanitising a 200Gb drive with very little on it could take an inordinate amount of time! With no tangible security benefit.
I think that a lot of people are aware that to perform a good defragmentation of a hard drive requires 20-30% free space. This is because the defragmentation software uses it to assemble and move the files being defragmented. I wonder what is left in that space afterwards, even though it is flagged in the system as being available? Now, most defragmenters will not handle an encrypted/compressed file very well, particularly if it is on a hidden virtual drive. You have to defragment with the drive mounted and therefore exposed. This may well leave your data exposed.
I believe that there is much to be said for a system that properly wipes free space.
There are two remaining areas that I will just mention at this point, as I have not quite satisfied myself.
1. Damaged sectors, which have become damaged in use, may contain sensitive data. It might be possible to recover these data using the ECC (error correction) facilities of the hard drive?
2. The Swap or Page file can contain all sorts of sensitive data. With the older DOS based operating systems, they could be wiped, just like any other part of the disk. I have yet to satisfy myself that the utilities within the later operating systems make a thorough job of this task.
Please note that this document just represents some of my personal paranoias, and should in no way be used to manage life critical systems or thermonuclear weapons . Or is that Java?

CALGARY - A class-action lawsuit has been launched in Calgary against Cineplex for allegedly not honouring cheap Tuesday pricing.
The plaintiff Matthew Starchuk says he was charged full price to see "The Amazing Spider-Man" on July 3, even though it was a Tuesday and he read online that tickets that night were to be discounted.
He claims Cineplex's advertising did not note any restrictions for the discount.
Starchuk says an employee at the Cineplex theatre he attended told him the discount wasn't available because of the U.S. Fourth of July holiday.
The next day, Starchuk says another Cineplex employee told him contractual agreements prevented the company from discounting tickets on the holiday.
The law firm Docken and Company is encouraging any other filmgoers who paid full price on a Tuesday at a Cineplex theatre to join the class-action suit.
The statement of claim alleges Cineplex did not ensure its advertising was "truthful, complete, transparent, responsible and accessible to their customers and potential customers."
A spokeswoman for Cineplex said the company had no comment on the suit. But she did say Cineplex has no restrictions on its Tuesday discounting based on U.S. holidays.

The type of scene that I see when taking my dog out for long walks one in particular where you can see the edge of Dartmoor with its high hills and tors, I also stand by a gate at the top of a very steep hill when I get to the top and look and take a deep breathe of that fresh air and look at the wonderful view.
Painting is acrylic on acid free paper so that there will be no yellowing.
Painting will be sent on a next day delivery wrapped in a padded package for protection in transit.
I paint in two styles, naive and abstract, on both canvas and acid free paper.
Over the years I have sold many original paintings in both styles to private and corporate collectors.
I have painted from my imagination or from a commission brief and my work has been reproduced as greeting cards and prints.
I love painting, it is great starting with a blank piece of paper or a canvas and finishing with a painting whether it's an abstract or landscape and it's great when other people like the work I have made.
The thing to also look for in most of my landscapes and seascapes is three cats two black and one brown with stripes always hidden somewhere in the picture...
I hope you enjoy my art!
