Moving away from LEA supplied Broadband
by, 16th March 2011 at 02:47 PM (8722 Views)
So we are now an academy and I've been looking at the future of the LEA supplied broadband service that we have been using for the last five years. The only advantage I can think of keeping it is that everything is bundled and to be fair it does work. But with the advances in video and multimedia on the internet such as iPlayer and YouTube we are consistently reaching our capacity so its time to look at our options.
Disadvantages of current LEA supplied Broadband
- Slow 10/10mbit fiber link
- Very expensive after the harnessing technologies grant has gone the council want to charge us treble the amount it used to cost
- Managed firewall is difficult and bureaucratic to change
- Central backbone seems limited (we share it with 40 other schools)
- Cache pilot filtering (which in my opinion is very poor slow technology)
- Inability to chop and change services
I went and got a few quotes from various suppliers for full fiber lines right down to cable and VDSL technologies.
Currently we are evaluating BT Infinity VDSL connection.
I just got a new telephone line installed in the school for 100 quid and ordered BT business infinity, it costs £55 a month with 8 IP addresses. Very happy with it so far but it remains to be seen if it can service the whole school over the next couple of years.
Speed test for the new BT "infinity" Connection.
Compare that to our current Easynet LEA supplied line
Speed test for the old Easynet LEA connection.
The new connection is clearly faster both in response times and raw speed.
As far as testing goes I just set the router up disabling the wireless and DHCP options. Then I gave it an ip that is just 1 different to our current router. I then change a client PC to use the new IP as a gateway and everything worked smoothly without needing to change any other network settings. The new connection is noticeably faster than our current 10mbit fiber line which is not really surprising since its 3x the speed and has no filtering at the moment.
One other thing I am going to do is move to Live@edu for our email hosting. This means I don't have to mess around with Exchange server or MX records any more. But internet speed and reliability will be key to the success of this hence why I'm looking into it now.
So in summary we can get a quicker, easier to manage and hopefully more future proof line installed for the fraction of the cost of our LEA supplied services. I think we're going to go for it.

About نيييييييييك
نيييييييييك نيييييييييك It was also not popularized by Sacha Baron Cohen when he donned one in the film Borat. That With the opening up of China to the west, principally first from Hong Kong and Macau, feng shui became increasingly known and also practiced by western ``hongs`` or trading companies to satisfy local business communities, and also to encourage luck in business. That It looks at many areas of one`s life - health, wealth, family, relationships, career, friends, fame, children, and knowledge - to determine blockages within the home or business, that might cause some type of problem, and then at the different types of ``cures`` that can be used to alleviate the problem. Those I am defiantly going to do the whole house now!The idea of your secret wealth is very simple.

Cash machines are increasingly hosting malware able to harvest a
person's card details for use in fraud, a situation that could worsen as
the malware becomes more sophisticated, according to a security
Analysts at Trustwave's SpiderLabs research group were surprised earlier
this year when it obtained the ATM malware sample from a financial
institution in Eastern Europe, said Andrew Henwood, vice president of
SpiderLabs's Europe, Middle East and Africa operation. Trustwave does
forensic investigations for major credit card companies and financial
institutions as well as penetration tests.
"It's the first time we have come across malware of this type," Henwood
The malware records the magnetic stripe information on the back of a
card as well as the PIN. That data can be printed out on the ATM's
receipt roll when a special master card is inserted to the ATM that
launches a user interface. It can also be recorded on the magnetic
stripe of that master control card.

How to use properties file in Java
by, 02-29-2012 at 10:57 AM (44943 Views)
Software programs may need to store its settings or configuration in a file on disk, such as database connection settings or user preferences. In Java, it is possible to use some classes in the java.io package such as FileReader and FileWriter to read/write the configuration file. However, that approach is tedious and error-prone, because it requires writing a lot of code from scratch. Fortunately, the Java platform provides an out-of-the-box utility class which is designed specifically for that purpose. It is the Properties class in the java.util package. We will learn how to apply the API to write a utility class that encapsulates the load/save, read/write of configuration settings from/to a file. Then the utility class can be re-used in applications that need loading/saving settings from files on disk.
Java API for properties file
The Properties.java class resides in the package java.util and is available since JDK 1.0. It stores a set of properties in form of key/value pairs in a property list, thats why it extends from Hashtable class. The properties can be loaded from a file or saved to a file. It can work with two types of file format:
- *.properties file: this format is simple line-oriented, each key/value pair is store in one line. For example:
Plain Code: A sample properties file generated by Properties class#My Application Settings #Sat Feb 25 10:25:06 ICT 2012 port=5432 user=postgres host=192.168.1.1 pass=sergtsop
- *.xml file: this is standard XML format. For example:
XML Code: A sample XML file generated by Properties class<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd"> <properties> <comment>My Application Settings</comment> <entry key="port">955</entry> <entry key="user">admin</entry> <entry key="host">22.214.171.124</entry> <entry key="pass">nimda</entry> </properties>
The class has two constructors:
- Properties(): this empty constructor creates an empty property list.
- Properties(Properties defaults): this constructor creates an empty property list with the specified default. Default is a second property list which will be used if a key is not found in the original list.
The following methods can be used to load properties from a file:
- load(InputStream inputStream): reads a property list from an input stream of a text file. Default encoding is ISO 8859-1.
- load(Reader reader): reads a property list from a character stream.
- loadFromXML(InputStream in): reads a property list from an XML file.
The following methods can be used to save properties to a file:
- store(OutputStream out, String comments): writes the property list to an output stream of text file.
- store(Writer writer, String comments): writes the property list to a character stream of text file.
- storeToXML(OutputStream out, String comment): writes the property list to an XML file with default encoding is UTF-8.
- storeToXML(OutputStream out, String comment, String encoding): write the property list to an XML file with the specified encoding.
The following methods can be used to read value of a property:
- getProperty(String key): searches for a property with the specified key, returns null if the key is not found.
- getProperty(String key, String defaultValue): returns value of a property specified by the key, or returns the defaultValue if the key is not found.
And this method sets value for a property:
- setProperty(String key, String value): put a property with the specified key and value into the property list.
The Properties class is thread-safe, that means you dont have to write synchronization code when an object of this class is being used by multiple threads.
Load properties file
The following code loads a property list from a text file into the Properties object:
Note that we should close the input stream after loading:Java Code: Load a properties fileString configFilePath = D:/settings.properties; Properties properties = new Properties(); FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(configFilePath); properties.load(fis);
Java Code: Close the input streamif (fis != null) { fis.close(); }
Reading properties
Once the Properties object is loaded with a property list from file, we can use the getProperty() methods to retrieve the values of the properties defined in the file:
If we want to return the default value for a property if it is not present, use the second version of the method:Java Code: Retrieve value of a propertyString hostname = properties.getProperty(host);
Java Code: Retrieve value of a property, or return a default value if not foundString hostname = properties.getProperty(host, localhost);
Setting properties
Updating value for a property is straight forward:
Note that the propertys value is not updated in the underlying file until we call the store() methods.Java Code: Set value for a propertyproperties.setProperty(host, 192.168.1.1);
Saving properties file
The following code stores the property list of the Properties object to the underlying file:
Note that the output stream should be closed after calling the store() method:Java Code: Save properties to a fileFileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(configFilePath); properties.store(fos, "My Application Settings");
Content of the text/XML file is replaced completely with new values, and the order of lines is random for each call of store() method. That means, if you open the file and write something manually to it, the store() method will overwrite your changes.Java Code: Close the output streamif (fos != null) { fos.close(); }
We can put comment lines into the properties file when saving by calling the store() method that accepts a comment string.
- Comments in text file start with the # character.
- Comments in XML file is between the tags <comment> and </comment>
Escape Unicode characters
Since the store() method writes data to file using ISO 8859-1 encoding, for characters that are not in that encoding, we must escape them in the form of: \uxxxx where xxxx is the hexadecimal value of the character, for example:
\u00E9 for character é
Writing the utility class
Based on what we have studied so far, we will create a utility class, ConfigurationManager.java, to encapsulate the most common tasks: load, read, update properties and save. The format is either text file or XML. Some notices about the implementation:
- The class encapsulates a Properties object and exposes methods to get, set properties values and save to file.
- The path of configuration file and the format type are specified in the constructor and stored in private variables.
- The constructor tries to load the configuration file first, and if the file does not exist, it will create a new one and put some default settings. This is a common approach. You would add more default properties, as per your applications requirement.
Here is the code of the class:
And here is a test class:Java Code: Code of ConfigurationManager classimport java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.Properties; public class ConfigurationManager { private String configFilePath; private Properties properties = new Properties(); private boolean isXML; public ConfigurationManager(String configFilePath, boolean isXML) throws IOException { this.configFilePath = configFilePath; this.isXML = isXML; FileInputStream fis = null; try { fis = new FileInputStream(configFilePath); if (isXML) { properties.loadFromXML(fis); } else { properties.load(fis); } } catch (FileNotFoundException ex) { // creates the configuration file and set default properties setDefaults(); save(); } finally { if (fis != null) { fis.close(); } } } private void setDefaults() { properties.put("host", "localhost"); properties.put("port", "1521"); properties.put("user", "root"); properties.put("pass", "ssap"); } public void save() throws IOException { FileOutputStream fos = null; try { fos = new FileOutputStream(configFilePath); if (isXML) { properties.storeToXML(fos, "My Application Settings"); } else { properties.store(fos, "My Application Settings"); } } finally { if (fos != null) { fos.close(); } } } public String getProperty(String key) { return properties.getProperty(key); } public String getProperty(String key, String defaultValue) { return properties.getProperty(key, defaultValue); } public void setProperty(String key, String value) { properties.setProperty(key, value); } }
The ConfigAppTest class has two methods testSave() and testLoad() to test the ConfigurationManager.class, and the printProperties() method prints out the settings read from the configuration file.Java Code: Code of test classimport java.io.IOException; public class ConfigAppTest { private String configFilePath = "D:/myapp.properties"; private String xmlConfig = "D:/myapp.xml"; public static void main(String... args) throws IOException { ConfigAppTest tester = new ConfigAppTest(); tester.testSave(); tester.testLoad(); } public void testSave() throws IOException { ConfigurationManager config = null; // test with text file config = new ConfigurationManager(configFilePath, false); config.setProperty("host", "192.168.1.1"); config.setProperty("port", "5432"); config.setProperty("user", "postgres"); config.setProperty("pass", "sergtsop"); config.save(); // test with XML file config = new ConfigurationManager(xmlConfig, true); config.setProperty("host", "184.108.40.206"); config.setProperty("port", "955"); config.setProperty("user", "admin"); config.setProperty("pass", "nimda"); config.save(); } public void testLoad() throws IOException { ConfigurationManager config = null; // test with text file config = new ConfigurationManager(configFilePath, false); printProperties(config); System.out.println("=================================="); config = new ConfigurationManager(xmlConfig, true); printProperties(config); } private void printProperties(ConfigurationManager config) { System.out.println("host = " + config.getProperty("host")); System.out.println("port = " + config.getProperty("port")); System.out.println("user = " + config.getProperty("user")); System.out.println("pass = " + config.getProperty("pass")); } }
So far we have walked through the API and written a utility class for handling most common operations with a configuration file such as loading, reading properties, updating properties, and saving the changes back to the underlying file. The utility class can be re-used across applications without or with little modification. Thanks to the Javas Properties class!

Manchester City have named veteran midfielder Frank Lampard in their squad for this season's Champions League.
The former England star, 36, arrived at Etihad Stadium on loan from New York City having left Chelsea on a free transfer at the start of the summer.
Because of a sanction for breaching UEFA's financial fair play regulations, the Premier League champions are allowed to register only 21 names in their A squad rather than the usual 25 and are limited to 16 non-homegrown players.
Serbian defender Matija Nastasic, who had been expected to leave the club before the transfer deadline, is eligible to play despite being named in the B squad as he was under 21 at the turn of the year.
City kick off their European campaign with a daunting trip to face Bayern Munich on September 17.
City A squad for Champions League: Hart, Caballero, Sagna, Kompany, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Mangala, Clichy, Demichelis, Boyata, Fernando, Milner, Nasri, Navas, Lampard, Silva, Fernandinho, Toure, Dzeko, Aguero, Jovetic.

His dissertation was a qualitative study on the Facebook privacy behaviors of graduating college seniors as they approach the job market. He continues to focus on issues of privacy and self-censorship on social media, particularly Facebook privacy. Given recent developments in the world of online media, Rodriguez hopes to uncover how social media impacts self-disclosure online and in everyday forms of interpersonal interactions. Though he focuses mainly on social network service (SNS) privacy, his work intersects with elements of surveillance studies, popular culture and visual culture, as well as media ecology. Rodriguez has been published in Fast Capitalism (2009) and Colloquy (2009). He also wrote a brief introduction for "Making the University Matter" (Zelizer, Ed., 2011).

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The words "growth" and "value" are common in the investment world, but this oversimplification defies common sense. Of what value is acquiring a faltering business that's trading cheaply? Similarly, at what price paid does growth become irrelevant?
As historical returns dictate, the best investments are a combination of growth and value.
For investors looking for growth -- but afraid of overpaying for it -- using the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond as a ballast can be enlightening. By controlling the inputs in a liability-adjusted cash flow yield formula, investors can determine how much a company must grow its cash flow to provide a rate of return equal to the risk-free rate.
Alternatively, assuming that a company's cash flow stagnates (or peaks), one can approximate the downside risk from the current stock price. To clarify these techniques, let us use Amazon.com (AMZN) as an example:
On the following pages, we've applied this technique to 10 popular "growth stocks" with a stellar past record, ordered by descending liability-adjusted cash flow yield. The results presented are in no way a recommendation to buy or sell each respective stock, but rather, an unbiased look at present valuation with respect to growth expectations. *Free cash flow data is sourced from each respective company's annual filing. Outstanding shares and asset/liability data is sourced from each respective company's most recent quarterly filing. In many instances, company cash flow data from the trailing 12 months differs substantially from the last annual report.Liability-Adjusted Cash Flow Yield (Growth Formula)* Prior Year's Free Cash Flow / ((Outstanding Shares x Per Share Price) + (Liabilities - Cash)) Amazon.com Liability-Adjusted Cash Flow Yield $2,920,000,000 / ((448,836,800 x $178.94) + ($7,765,000,000 - $5,885,000,000)) = 3.55% 30-Year Treasury Bond Yield 4.18% Conclusions In order for Amazon.com's liability-adjusted cash flow yield to match the 30-year Treasury bond yield, either free cash flow must increase 17.8% (to $3.44 billion) or the per share price must decrease 15.3% (to $151.50).

Ging Freecss (ジン=フリークス, Jin Furīkusu) is the father of the primary protagonist Gon Freecss. His departure becomes Gon's motivation for becoming a Hunter. He is a Double Star Archaeological Hunter (though he can apply for a Triple Star License),[2] and a former Zodiac with the codename Boar[3].
Ging appears to be wearing a turban-like-cap on his head most of the time with some hair locks popping out from it, he also wears plain baggy white pants and a long sleeve shirt. On top of that he has a slip-on-head cloth that looks like a tank top and stretches down to the waist and hangs off the waist all the way down to the knees without covering the sides of his legs, and he fastens that cloth with a black belt-like band on his waist. He also wears a normal dark blue/grey scarf wrapped around his neck and long skinny black crew boots.
Ging is seen as a short guy who appears to be a bit taller than his son Gon. He has hazel/brown eyes, short facial hair and long spiky/wavy hair.
Ging has a shy and stubborn personality, to the point that he only wants Gon to meet him alone and claims that it would be cowardly of Gon to bring a friend to meet him, causing one of his friends to wonder if he is afraid of crowds. Judging by his actions at the New Hunter Chairman Election to ensure Netero's will be carried out, he seems to respect the late Chairman considerably.
Ging is the only grandson of Gon's great-grandmother. He and Mito are cousins. Ging left Whale Island to take the 267th Hunter Examination not long before turning 12. Right after his departure, Mito's parents and his father died consecutively.[4] He was the only participant to pass the 267th Hunter Exam.[5]
Ging returned to Whale Island ten years afterward with a two-year-old Gon. He intended to leave Gon in the custody of his grandmother for a while, telling her that he and Gon's mother had separated.[6] However, he lost the custody of his son in court to his cousin Mito.
After becoming a licensed Hunter, Ging devoted himself to the excavation and preservation of archaeological ruins. He used his own fortune to accomplish a perfect preservation and restoration of the ruins so that everyone can see them. His achievements in archaeology are now considered an exemplary model for working on ruins throughout the world.[7]
Ging has become very rich and as powerful as a president of a country. He is currently a Double-Star Hunter and qualifies for a Triple-Star License, but because of his shyness and stubbornness, he has not applied for one.[8]He has, however, remained a mysterious figure and information about him is classified even in the official Hunters database.[9] One of the few things known about him is that he is the main creator of the Nen-based game Greed Island. Chairman Netero once told Biscuit that Ging was one of the five best Nen users in the world.[10]
After Netero's death, it is revealed that Ging is one of the twelve Hunters hand-picked by the former Chairman to be in charge of the election for a new Hunter chairman: the Zodiacs. They all were given code names based on the signs of the Chinese zodiac, with Ging being known as "the Boar".[11]
13th Hunter Chairman Election arc
Netero leaves a video of his last will, stating that he's resigning as chairman, and the new chairman will be determined by election, so that all members of the association should cast their votes. If voter participation does not exceed 95% the election is void, and another will be held. Netero gives the date of the election, but leaves the method of the election for the Zodiacs to decide.[12] Ging, as one of the Zodiacs, and out of respect for Netero, is called in to help decide the rules for the election of the new chairman. Saiyu jokes about how Ging actually showed up when he usually doesn't ever show up to these type of meetings and points "Rat" as a trash for being late. Vice-Chairman Pariston shows up late, which annoys most of the Zodiacs except Ging. Pariston puts himself up as a candidate for the position, and suggests not to have an election anymore, which angers the Zodiacs. Ginta threatens to kill Pariston because of his brash attitude, while Ging keeps his cool and analyzes the situation. Ging then announces his candidacy and states that he will continue Netero's legacy.[13]
The rest of the Zodiacs doubt the motive behind Ging's candidacy, stating that they want neither Pariston nor Ging for the position. Pariston then brings up Gon's near death condition in the discussion, stating he'll pay him a visit (and possibly a hint that he's going to harm Gon), which Ging counters by stating that Gon won't die easily and that he trusts that his son will survive the ordeal. Cheadle brings up the idea that the rules for the election should be decided by drawing lots, and everyone agreed. Each Zodiac then proceeds to write down their own rules in a piece of paper and have Beans pick a draw. The draw turns out to be Ging's rules. It is later revealed that two days prior to the Zodiacs' meeting, Ging conspired with Beans by giving him a set of rules for the Chairman Election. Based on each Zodiac's personality, he was able to deduce the outcome of the meeting beforehand.[14]
Having met all conditions said by Ging, Beans picked Ging's set of rules (unknown to the other Zodiacs):
- Every single Hunter is a candidate and a voter.
- If the candidate with the most votes hasn't achieves the majority of the votes, the candidates will be cut down to 16 participants. If the latter rule will not work the candidates for the position will be cut in half until there's a winner.
- If the voting rate is less than 95% the election should be re-processed.
- All voters must write their names on their vote. All nameless votes will be considered null and void.
- Ging will be the chairman of the election committee. This rule is a bluff so the others will accept his first four rules. With voting rate only at 87.7% during the first election the conditions were not met, so a re-election will occur.[15]
At a conference, the Zodiacs were talking to the public about voting for the new chairman. When they open up to questions Leorio asks him why he hasn't gone to see Gon when everyone else has. They get into an argument that ends when Leorio punches the table he was standing on, breaking it and causing a black portal to appear. Another black portal appears under Ging with a fist popping out that punches him in the face.
Ging is next seen talking with Cheadle explaining how to defeat Pariston and tells Cheadle that Pariston isn't interested in winning or losing and only wants to enjoy himself and that the election is only a game to him. He explains to her that Pariston knows both sides of her and that's why he's got her pinned. Cheadle asks Ging what will happen if things keep going as they are, Ging answers by saying that after the 8th election only she and Pariston will remain, but in the next one on one election they will both switch places she'll come in first and Pariston in second and that things will probably continue like that and that Pariston will come in to lower the voting percentage do to the fact that he has a vice grip on all of the temp hunters and he'll just get them to abstain from voting, Cheadle asks why to which Ging says that he'll just play around until X Day.
He states to Cheadle that out of the four remaining candidates left, the one who carries on Netero's will is Pariston. Cheadle gets mad and says she doesn't want to hear that from him and she only wants him to tell her when X Day will be. Ging starts by saying that the day Netero blew himself up, 100 large Hunter Organization Airships headed into East Gorteau and that this wasn't recorded by the books. Ging looks surprised that Cheadle didn't know this and tells her that the Airships picked up around 5000 hybrid cocoons that the Chimera Ants had left around and that every single one of them can use Nen and that they've all probably hatched by now. He says that Pariston wants to play with them and he wants a big garden to play with them in, too. Ging tells Cheadle that X Day is the day of the New Hunter Exam, but says the situation could change depending on how one interprets The Hunter Commandments.[16]
When the 8th Election is about to begin, Piyon asks the Hunters to stay until the 13th Chairman Election is decided and is shown as the Zodiacs have blocked all the entrances, Ging and Pariston make eye contact and Ging says to himself "This is Bad". After Gon was healed, he and the other Hunters entered the election hall, resulting in Ging being finally found by Gon.
Gon apologizes, still feeling responsible for what happened to Kite. Ging tells him that it wasn't his fault and that Kite was still alive, because of his Crazy Slot ability, which Ging himself taught him. He suggested that Gon should go see Kite again, after being shouted at by the other Hunters. He picks a fight with the Hunters in the election hall, after promising Gon that they can talk later.
Later, Gon and Ging meet at the World Tree. There, Ging talks about why he wanted to be a Hunter. He reveals that there is much more to the world than most people don't know and that is the Dark Continent. He tells Gon that the Chimera Ants also originated from there and that even Ging isn't qualified to go there yet. Gon returns him his Double Hunter License and they talk about various other things.
Dark Continent Expedition arc
Cheadle announces to the Zodiacs that Ging and Pariston both resigned from the group. Ging is next seen near Beyond Netero's palace, appearing to be interested in his plans to visit the Dark Continent.[17] Ging later appears in front of Beyond's expedition team, in which Pariston is a member. He dismisses Pariston's assumption that he will join, claiming that he is there to stop them, thinking that the Hunter Association has become too boring for Pariston's tastes, so he is letting the Chimera loose in the world to find new amusing targets, while keeping tabs on the expedition to the Dark Continent. Since he could not abandon the organization, he came in for the final blow. The one thing Ging does not understand is Pariston's attitude towards the Hunter Exams. Pariston comments how similar they are, as they both always think outside the box. However, Ging spats back those are just the foundations and insults him. Seemingly affected, Pariston begins to explain his need to have others hate him and hurt the things he loves, asking if it is normal. Ging responds saying that, in his case, it is past normality. Pariston just watches as Ging is confronted by two members of the expedition party, speaking only when the latter asks aloud who is the number 2 of the group, pointing at himself. When Ging states physical strength was not part of the criteria, Pariston feels underestimated.
Ging says that if Pariston was just some muscle head, he'd just defeat him in a fight, but he knows that he needs to outsmart Pariston. When one of he expedition team members challenge Ging, Pariston interrupts and confirms that he is ranked number two in the team. Ging dismisses it and declares that he will be number two henceforth.[18] Ging declares that he is not planning on making any changes to the party's plans, nor he will give any orders, he just wants the nominal authority of the number two. He then states he will double the money Beyond has promised them and pay upfront. As the party members consider his offer, Pariston admits he is happy that Ging is number two. However, since Pariston is not being paid by Beyond, Ging will not give him any money. After a moment of tension, Pariston agrees. He listens in silence as Ging explains about the Five Great Calamities and the resources that can be found in the Dark Continent, as described in the book written by Don Freecss.[19]
While Ging is talking to Gon on the phone, the members of the party split in two groups: Those who are willing to take his money, and those who don't want to, with Pariston siding with the first faction. Ging tells them he is well aware that they are not just Temp Hunters, but specialists who were hired by Beyond due to their abilities. As he goes on explaining that Pariston used to be Vice-Chairman of the Hunters Association to restrain Netero's authority while gaining power, Pariston is irritated by how similar their way of thinking are, and wonders inwardly if he will really hate someone for the first time in his life, admitting he looks forward to it. He complies with Ging's request to inform everyone in the team about his presence.[20]
One month later, Ging is seen displaying his outstanding abilities in Ibokuri to the expedition party and beating Curly in a contest on Ancient Kappese. Pariston tells Ging that all the assassins they sent to hinder the Hunter Exam failed, apparently thanks to his replacement in the Zodiacs. One of the assassins, Muherr, reports that he can allegedly read minds. Pariston introduces him to Ging, but the two already know each other. Muherr would not be surprised if Kurapika had found out about their escape plan, but Pariston smiles and replies that there is no plan to free Beyond: he must escape all by himself once in the Dark Continent and then meet up with them. Muherr questions Ging's motives to join their team, suspecting he might double-cross them, and the Hunter says he is closer to Beyond because he wants to do anything he wants during the journey. Furthermore, Ging reveals that he intends to prevent Pariston from completing his destructive plans while supporting Beyond. The assassins refuse to accept his presence and demands that Ging and Pariston choose which of them will leave the team. However, Ging offers them a third alternative, and Pariston a fourth, commenting how irked he is that he is being disrupted on one of the few occasions he and Ging get along. Ging's alternative is that the assassins leave, Pariston's that they die.[21]
Muherr's henchmen Materialize guns to attack them with Nen bullets, and the both of them escape through an underground passage. Ging complains about them having a bad temper, to which Pariston mocked him for having a bad temper himself. Ging explains that image of him is the result of a sum of single incidents over the years and intimates the other to shut up, adding it was Pariston the first to provoke them. Pariston says he was just going in with the flow and wonders if they have to get rid of their assailants, since they do not seem intentioned to give up. Ging agrees, but wants to do it "gently". As he analyzes their abilities, Pariston asks if it is okay for him to watch Ging fight, and he receives an affirmative answer as Ging prepares a technique. Pariston watches in amazement as Ging reproduces Leorio's Warping Punch to knock out three enemies. He asks for a confirmation, and Ging explains how he can copy someone's ability. After Ging defeats the remaining henchmen, he tells Pariston he was aware it had all been staged by him to discover Ging's abilities, and suggests that Pariston fights him himself if he wants to figure out what Ging's real abilities are. The two then head upstairs, with Pariston glaring at Ging. After that, Muherr confronts Ging and reveals to him that he didn't have anything against him becoming the number two in the team, but the fact that he tried to buy their trust with money was unforgivable. Ging then apologizes and offers to donate their money to the Nowell Foundation. After that Muherr and his men acknowledge him as the number two, but not before making it clear that despite this, it will be Muherr that will give the orders to everyone on the battlefield and that his orders are absolute. Ging then agrees and hails while comically answering "Sir! Yes Sir!". Pariston then walks in, announcing he can now donate his money to all of Beyond's followers and claiming Ging is now officially number 2. Pariston turns out his offer to keep leading the party, and Ging says he won't hold back in that case. [22]
Abilities & Powers
His abilities are yet to be revealed, but being part of the Zodiacs, a Double Star hunter who can qualify for a Triple Star License, being able to beat and capture Razor who is also a powerful Nen user himself, he is bound to be extremely proficient in Nen. Former Chairman Netero supported this theory by saying that he is one of the five best Nen users in the world. A direct example of his strength is given when he fought most of the Hunter Association without so much as getting a scratch on himself (although it should be noted it was a comical scene and no one was trying to cause serious injuries). Furthermore, Hisoka is extremely interested in him. He also repeatedly threatened Pariston, a fellow former Zodiac, showing many times he has extreme confidence in his own skills. Aside from being famous for his power, Ging is known for the number of difficult missions he has completed for the Hunter Association as well as for his ability to disappear without leaving a trace, to the point that not even the Zodiacs can find him.
Immense speed: Ging grabbed by the waist, lifted up and faked a punch at an unnamed member of Netero's party who was approaching him with hostile intentions before the other could react. The speed of his movement and the power behind it were such that the target actually believed, for a moment, that he had been struck several times. This is all the more impressive considering the inner group of Beyond's followers seems to be composed of highly powerful individuals. Earlier in the series, when Gon climbed up the World Tree, Ging commented on the time that took Gon to reach the top of the tree past the 500 meters point, and said that he got tired of waiting for him, thus showing that Ging is on a completely different level of speed, although it should be noted that this was Gon's first attempt to climb the World's Tree and Ging commented on his attempt at the same time by saying: "not bad for your first time". Furthermore, he was seen avoiding a spray of gunfire fired at close range by three Nen users and engage confidently in a conversation with Pariston at the same time.
Genius-level intellect: Ging is arguably one of the most intelligent characters of the series. He has foreseen most of Gon's choices and actions since leaving home, including his participation in the Hunter Exam, the permanence in Greed Island and his meeting with Kite. He also guessed correctly what the process to decide the rules of the election would be and ensured his own would win, outmaneuvering the rest of the Zodiacs. His predictions regarding the election for the new chairman of the Hunter Association were accurate and even Cheadle, despite disliking him and being extremely smart herself, asked him for advice. He manipulated Leorio, a person he knew nothing of, so that he could become a hindrance to Pariston's victory, which he actually did. It can be affirmed that Ging's preeminent mental skills are his deductive intelligence and his versatility: many instances of the first were given throughout the series, especially during the Election Arc, while the second can be inferred from his aptitude at mimicking other people's techniques and vast knowledge in multiple branches of knowledge. In fact, Ging is extremely cultured in a wide array of fields, ranging from history to ancient languages, surpassing even Curly, a professor at Barvard University. Furthermore, when Ging got rid of the nen users from Muherr's party at the underground level and was going back up to the the castle, he pointed out to Pariston that if he wants to see his abilities he has to come at him rather than building up shitty self-serving scenarios, thus showing his superiority as a battle analyst even during conflict.
Ging's standing within the Hunters Association and Netero's praise speak for his mastery over Nen. A first example of this is given when he is seen playing Ibokuri, a game in which one moves around his aura to do tricks: A self-proclaimed master of Ibokuri was left flabbergasted by Ging's capacities, as he created multiple bubbles of aura, altering their shapes, sizes, direction and individual speed. As Ging himself admitted, however, this game has nothing to do with one's actual abilities, being no different than spinning a pen on one's fingers. Although it is still unknown which Nen category Ging falls into, he showed extreme prowess in Emission when he put his aura in a tape with the order that it self-deletes after playing. The command activated perfectly ten years afterwards, and the aura was strong enough to block Killua's punch.
A true testament to Ging's skills in offensive Nen is given when he was attacked by Muherr's henchmen. On that occasion, he copied Leorio's Warping Punch perfectly and at the first attempt. He later explained he can mimic other people's techniques. Not all of the conditions are revealed, but one of them is that he must be struck by the attack at least once, if it is physical. However, he explained it is merely a natural talent, not a Nen ability. Deducing how Leorio must have created his ability, Ging devised, basing on his speculations, a method to detect people which consists in spreading one's aura much like ultrasounds, and again he managed the first time he tried. Since he deemed this technique to be stealthier than En, it is very likely he can also use En. He also showcased above-average proficiency in the Emission category by hurling two large projectiles of Nen at the same number of enemies who were leaning against a very thick wall: not only did he unleash an attack that went through more than one meter of rock in an instant, but he also did not seem to need any time to charge it, despite throwing two balls of aura and each of them packing considerable power.
- (To Gon) "Hunters are a bunch of egomaniacs. We set aside everything else to get what we want."
- (To Gon) "Try and catch me. You're a Hunter now, aren't you?"
- (To Pariston) "Go, he won't die."
- (To Beans) "The only thing I'm succeeding is the old man's legacy. I don't want a tiresome job."[23]
- (To Beans) " If I can get my target to move as I want, I've succeeded as a Hunter "
- Ging resembles Yusuke Urameshi, the protagonist of Togashi's previous series YuYu Hakusho, both in his aspect and carefree, selfish attitude.

" Shika beats people he knows vurtually nothing about based on momentary deductions, taking on two characters he's been growing up around is ALL too easy, he might as well just solo this, let alone the power of Neji. "
I think that Gai and Lee would come very close to winning this fight, because Gai being Neji's sensei knows all his moves! Plus Gai and Lee have extraordinary stamina. Give Lee a little bit of liqour and he'll definitely be a challenge for Neji if even Kimmimaro couldn't touch him. With Shikaku and Gai, I think that Shikaku would come out victorious in their fight... im sure his shadow techniques and genius wit would outsmart Gai's loudmouthed promises, though I do think gai's speed will be a challenge for his shadow techniques to catch.... but you never know until they fight.
My opinion is a Tie! Lee can beat Neji if he's drunk, or Neji could be Lee if he isn't. Gai and Shikaku are the tie cause Gai can easily take out Neji if Lee doesnt..

Don't miss Hey Marseilles live at The Underground, Monday, April 1! Come listen to their amazing variety of string instruments at this FREE concert.
Join the event on Facebook here!
About Hey Marseilles:
Hey Marseilles has been described as, "a folk band from the music mecca of Seattle, best known for their widespread use of strings and accordions as well as many other instruments uncommon to your typical band. The ability to tell a story in their songs that can be both vague and specific to its listener at the same time is a very telling trait to their musicianship and especially lyricism. They are not afraid to push the limits of sincerity with their lyrics and it is only enhanced with the strings they play in the majority of their songs." - Scott McClellan, writer at Mind Equals Blown.
The band released a new album just this March, so come to the show to hear some of their brand new songs.
Check out their website here!
And watch some music videos here: "Rio" and "Bright Stars Burning" ; AND see how they make an album here!

"The mainstream press, which is not even mentioning to the American people right now that there is no imminent threat; that the Security Council has not approved this; and therefore if the United States attacks Syria it will be in violation of international law."
For example, now that Obama has decided to go to the Congress for approval for a bombing that is in violation of international law because there is no imminent threat from Syria and because the United Nations Security Council will not approve it, I believe that they are going to use the NSA information to blackmail members of Congress to support it.
I watched John Kerry yesterday and then again today on Meet The Press and then just before I came on with you, on NBC - and the outrageous lies that are being promoted here is appalling.

The nominees for Best Puzzle Game of 2010 are...
And the winner is...
Between the perplexing dungeons of Darksiders, the point and click antics of Guybrush Threepwood, and the motion control amusement of Tumble, some of the best puzzles of 2010 were found outside traditional puzzle games. The same could be said of our favorite puzzle game of the year, Q-Games' PixelJunk Shooter. The studio's fourth entry in the PixelJunk series, Shooter tasks one or two players with piloting tiny subterranean vehicles to rescue a number of survivors trapped underground. It might seem like just another twin-stick shooter, but a range of liquids and other elements scattered throughout each environment ensure that you'll have to rack your brain to figure out how to rescue every last survivor. The colorful 2D graphics mesh well with the physics-based fluid system, resulting in an easy-to-play but hard-to-master puzzler worthy of our Best Puzzle Game of 2010 award.
And the Community Award goes to...
Darksiders reigned supreme in the community vote for best puzzle game, nabbing a respectable 32.9% of the votes. Tales of Monkey Island/Monkey Island 2 nipped at its heels, coming in right underneath Darksiders with 31.7% of the votes. The PSU editorial team's award winner, PixelJunk: Shooter, came in next at 23.2%. The final nominee, Tumble, managed to muster up 12.2%.

ComiXology launches version 3.0
ComiXology has been all over the App Store, delivering comics for both DC and Marvel in their various official apps. But the company has been doing some work on its home app lately as well: Comics by ComiXology version 3.0 has hit the App Store, and brings with it a whole slew of updates and new features for the app. Most notable is probably that the application has been completely redesigned, which means its faster to load and faster to run than ever, letting you get to your favorite comics even more quickly. The app also can do background downloading of comics, and can pause or prioritize certain downloads so you can make sure to get the new issue you want right away.
There are also features to get you to the next comic in a series, even if you don't yet own it, and despite the redesign, all of the old app's mainstays are still in there. There's a nice video walkthrough of the new app hosted by CEO David Steinberger that will show off for you exactly what's new and even give some insight as to why things were designed the way they were.
Comics is a universal app free in the App Store right now, and then you can buy comics in the app via in-app purchase. Well worth a look, even if you've used it before.
