Riding on the success of Ghetto Justice <怒火街頭> last year, in which the series received high ratings and the two main cast, Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎) and Myolie Wu (胡杏兒) swept numerous acting awards across Asia, TVB will premiere the sequel on Monday, July 30th during the primetime slot following the London 2012 Olympics.
Ghetto Justice 2 takes us back to where the original series left off. Law Ba (Kevin Cheng) completed his time in jail for altering evidence in a previous case, while Wong Si Fu (Myolie Wu) successfully took over his law practice in Shum Shui Po to help out the neighbors.
Fans of the original series may be disappointed that Eddie Kwan ( 關禮傑) , Sharon Chan (陳敏之) and Joyce Tang (滕麗名) will not be reprising their roles in the sequel due to change of management companies and scheduling conflicts. However, Christine Kuo (苟芸慧), Raymond Cho (曹永廉) , JJ Jia ( 賈曉晨 ) and Crystal Li (李雪瑩) will bring some fresh faces and develop a relationship story line with Jazz Lam (林子善) and Sam Lee (李璨琛), Law Ba's buddies. The producer also promised that there will be more opportunities for the cast to develop their characters because Jazz and Sam's friendship with Law Ba was very well received.
While the original series heavily revolved around murder cases, Ghetto Justice 2 will incorporate recent controversial headlines so that viewers can be able to relate, such as a case that involves an evil landlord who released his dogs to bite his tenants. The producer said, "We're taking everything one step further with the sequel. In fact, we filmed a scene where a naked pregnant woman was being chased by the cops because she was smuggling drugs. We didn't include this scene to create controversy; it was solely for the purpose to dramatize the series a bit more."
Speaking at a promotional event, Kevin said, "I want to thank the viewers for their support of this series. 'Law Ba' is a very unique character; he is playful and smart, yet lazy and obnoxious. In the sequel, we didn't intend for his boxers-revealing incident to be the talk of the town. Imagine filming in a populated district like Shum Shui Po in your boxers while a huge camera is following your bottom, it made me feel so violated!"
Although the producer is no stranger to developing series revolving around lawyers, the original Ghetto Justice found success because it touched upon the working class citizens in the Shum Shui Po area of Hong Kong. Viewers fell in love with Kevin's character, Law Ba, because of his good heart despite obnoxious behavior such as urinating in public. Given that the sequel included recent events which are more relatable for viewers and involves a complicated love triangle between Law Ba, Wong Sifu and his ex-wife (Christine Kuo), will Ghetto Justice 2 be able to recreate the success it had last year?

Looking forward to it, hopefully it's just as good as the original.
As though adding Christine Kuo and JJ Jia in the series will make me not miss Eddie Kwan or Joyce Tang..
Hmm.. change in management companies? Did Joyce or Eddie leave TVB!?!
Joyce at that time was doing TVB sitcom.
Eddie is still there with TVB. He is in Beauty of War. I think he will be in a cameo appearance in GH2.
So who is the one with a change in management company?
Ask Mr Leung and Ms Zhang who both in charge of TVB series
In terms of acting, Christine Kuo and JJ Jia cannot be compared with the veterans, i.e. Eddie Kwan and Joyce Tang. Even Sharon Chan is a lot better than Christine and JJ.
Totally agree with ya!! i cant stand Christine Kuo and JJ Jia voies and acting skills
Christine Kuo: horrible
I can stand JJ but not Christine even tho both of them can't really act.
i'm going to miss eddie in the sequel too. he didn't have as big a role in the original as the other three, but i found him one of the most likeable because he was always neutral and in a good mood while the others often argued and fought. still, i like raymond cho too. hope he has good chemistry with the other 3 too.
Very bad substitutes indeed! I liked Eddie's charachter very much.
I can already feel that this won't be as good as the first one. The first one wasn't even that good compared to TOT…
…… Agree. Unfortunately "Ghetto Justice" was aired first and had the advantage of getting higher viewership ratings, and "TOT" was aired right after. As a legal drama series, "TOT" was a lot more interesting; it was about cases and lawyers prosecuting and defending their cases. "GJ" had a more casual theme and was not a real legal drama series.
The Other Truth is a joke.
Still waiting for tv to show The Other Truth. Still no sigh.
The Truth as they say is out there… somewhere
Larry 3
What do you mean "The Other Truth" is a joke? Would appreciate your comments.
Personally I think "Ghetto Justice" was a joke! No lawyers is like that in reality.
Do the lawyers act like cops chasing criminals? Plus the crappy relationship triangle between Ruco-Tavia-Raymond. What a joke!
Well, most of the storyline and characters do not make good sense anyway.
Agree that lawyers "should not act like cops chasing criminals". How about the forensic heroes in FH3? They always told the police what to do and when to chase criminals, like their supervisors. Were they supposed to get involved in cases actively (like an investigation unit)? They only had to get the forensic evidence to show it to the Police Department and should not involve in any cases actively. All TVB characters are like that. At least I could watch more legal arguments in court in "TOT", not just Law Ba eating fish ball noodles with Wong Sze Fu all the time.
FH3, who the funk cares. The Other Truth went downhill from the start. I assume there is no plans for the sequel, which is good.
If "TOT" was not aired right after "GJ", the viewership ratings would have been a lot better. All the cases were short and reasonably described.
Chan Chin Pang's defense arguments were a lot better than Kevin Cheng's. The only selling point in "GJ' was the four buddies and their good interactions, and was not good as a legal drama series.
It did not make sense to me that a lawyer committed a crime purposely in order to save his other partner (or girlfriend). A lawyer should know what is right and what is wrong, and he would not risk his career to do something so stupid. I only watched a few episodes in that drama series (only where the four buddies were involved), and I watched every single episode in "TOT". Don't agree that "GJ" was a better drama series, at least not to me.
Heard that it was easy to get a lawyers license in HK, so perhaps there are indeed lawyers like "law ba" in HK, LOL
No TOT 2?
Law Ba becomes a lawyer again after his prison vacation? ROFL
I think it is a lot easier to become a lawyer in Hong Kong. First it is an undergraduate program and students can get in after matriculation or Form 6 (or Form 7 in the past). Moreover, they can study law in evening schools. However, it is a full-time day school and graduate program in Canada. After law school, students have to work in law firm as a student-at-law for a few months. After articling, they have to complete and pass a bar examination in order to get a licence to practice law in Canada. A licensed lawyer usually is 26 years old or older.
Thx for the info sandcherry that's what I thought i.e much easier to get a license in HK.
According to my frd who is s lawyer in HK, it's quite easy to get the license but how to maintain the license is the hard thing. Any mistake can cause to the revoke and once revoked, harder to get one again. Twice revoke causes to low credit and then the chance to have license is very low.
Does it include "getting a criminal record"? Not sure?!
Up to which crime he had. If the criminal record states that he cant do lawyer job in a period, he only can try to get the license after this period. If not, he can apply for one. But this criminal record will follow him and even with the new license, his credit is low and chance for him to have clients decrease. Getting the license the second time is harder than first time
In other words, many lawyers in Hong Kong could have been prisoners in the past. Very funny and unacceptable. Will check it out if it is allowed in Canada.
I don't think that the suspension or losing a licence for a lawyer is not as serious as committing a crime + going to a prison. Hope some people in the legal profession in Hong Kong would correct me.
You should watch Files of Justice. How many times did Bobby AuYeung, Micheal Tao's characters broke the laws…
If I remember correctly, the ending was a total crap; first ten episodes were "real" court cases; relationships fail; Tavia's big nose; Ruco's shown off his body; catching criminals better than the police; rushed; sloppy; etc.
I have to disagree with you. I had watched the two dramas, and I found that 'TOT' was much more interesting than 'GJ'. If I had to choose which drama was a joke, then it must be 'GJ'. Well, that's just my opinion, so no offence to you.
Are you a Canadian? I have a query regarding becoming a lawyer. Well, I'm from Malaysia, and I will be studying a law degree for 3 years in my country. Actually, it's an international program because the certificate is awarded by University of London from UK. Therefore, my question is, could I continue studying my law master degree in Canada? Another question is, could I use my law degree from UK to sit the bar exam in Canada and become a lawyer there?
By the way, others are also welcomed to answer my question. Thanks a lot.
I live in Canada and I have an immediate family member practising law here as a lawyer. However, he went to both undergraduate and law schools here.
Regarding your questions, I will have to find out for you. Will let you know later (a day or two).
I checked with a local lawyer about the requirements for a qualified lawyer from Malaysia (or anywhere outside of North America) to practise law or go for Masters Degree of Law in Canada. He told me that you will have to re-qualify here by taking some extra credits in a local law school — minimum of one year — . Then you will have to enroll in provincial Bar Admission Course and pass their Bar Examination. Even qualified lawyers from other provinces or the States will have to take local Bar Admission Course and pass Bar Examination to get their licences.
Canada and the States have similar law degree programs, i.e. a graduate degree program (LLB or Juris Doctor in Canada and JD in the States), so law graduates will not have to re-qualify but just to complete the Bar Admission Course and Bar Exam. to get their licences to practise law locally.
What is the program called? I mean the one that I need to re-qualify in order to take some extra credits.
By the way, I thought Canada was -and is- a commonwealth country? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Regarding the details of the re-qualification program, I think you will have to write to either the university in Canada that you want to go or the Law Society of that particular province, such as Law Society of Upper Canada (Ontario) or Law Society of British Columbia, etc. You can find the names and websites on Google.
Canada is a Commonwealth country, but our university programs are structured very much the same as the ones in the States so that graduates in Canada can easily go to the States for post-graduate studies or work, or vice versa. Our programs are completely different from the ones in U.K. As a matter of fact, I think Australian systems are similar to English systems. Perhaps you can think about taking your Master's degree in Law or practising law in Australia or U.K.
Okay, thanks a lot.
Can Law Ba still practise law in Hong Kong after getting a criminal record? Strange and unbelievable. I don't think people can practise law any more after getting a criminal record in North America. Will have to check on this.
Shouldn't be possible, however in TVB world impossible is nothing, LOL
"however in TVB world impossible is nothing" ……….. Good comments. Nothing is impossible in TVB. A person's character can change 180 degrees in a few episodes. You are right!
Can but low credit. It's like a big dent to his image and since lawyer's credit is very important to make the clients blv, it's a disadvantage for him. However to the authority issuing the license, if he can passes the exams and the requirement, they dont care that he had a criminal record unless this criminal record banned him for doing in law field.
But Law Ba committed a crime while he was practising as a defense lawyer ….. directly case related, not something like drug abuse.
I really doubt it if Law Ba can practise law again (of course TVB can and has the authority to "change" the law in Hong Kong).
Still can. Law is fair to everyone and everyone deserves to have second chance, that's wat law can say.
Btw he wont have the license right after the prison time. He'll have to wait until the law allow him to do it again. But he can do the assistant work in a law firm if someone hire him.
Public demonstration is quite popular in HK these days, so they will prolly pull one and change the law
Suppose he needs to inform his new and prospective clients that he has a criminal record.
Waiting for TOT2.
I don't think there will be a "TOT2″ because its viewership rating was not as high as "GJ". "TOT" was aired right after "GJ" and it was too much for people in Hong Kong to watch 2 legal drama series in a row unfortunately.
I thought TVB confirmed it already. Too bad TOT was the best series for me last year by far.
Glad that you liked "The Other Truth" as well. It might not be the best drama series in 2011, but it was much better than "Ghetto Justice" (in terms of legal drama series)
Yeah agree in terms of legal series TOT is way superior.
Only TOT and BP was worth my time last year
TOT is a good legal series, but nothing special and not as good as FOJ etc.
GJ is not a good legal series since it's court cases suck, but it created a iconic and loved character.
People will forget about good legal series when they are a dime a dozen on tvb. So are crime or police series. Unless you are one of the first or best.
Not as many are gonna forget about Law Ba or Laughing. I bet even 20 years from now (since TVB basically keeps recycling their old stuff, just look at the stupid TV Funny show), they will have people mimicking Law Ba or Laughing.
TOT was good except for TY
Ruco Chan's acting is way more solid then Kevin Cheng. That alone is worth it. I've watched The Other Truth twice, never want to see GJ again although I did enjoy watching the first time. Can't stand Kevin's acting again.
TVB lawyers comparison
Male: Ruco>KC>KM=LF
Female: TY=Myolie>LC=Kate
TVB has not confirmed to filming The Other Truth 2 since it was lack of popularity on news, ratings, and the web. Unless The Other Truth 2 will film a sequel a decade from now.
@Vivien: what about Nancy and Sammul?
IMO Nancy beats all of them.
You are right. Ruco Chan acted better than Kevin Cheng in a lawyer's role. His voice is loud and clear in presenting his arguments in court vs. Kevin's. I enjoyed watching him in "The Other Truth". The storyline could have been better.
But "Ghetto Justice" was not considered as a legal drama series to me. It talked more about the poor working class people in Sum Shui Po areas
@ sandcherr; Ghetto Justice is not a legal drama? Oh boy, you really havent watch from the start to the end.
Larry 3
This is what Nicole wrote and I agree with her.
"TOT is a good legal series, but nothing special and not as good as FOJ etc.
GJ is not a good legal series since it's court cases suck, but it created a iconic and loved character." …………. I agree with Nicole particularly on this. It is a legal drama series theoretically, but with very little focus on cases and court procedures.
Tell me which court cases suck?
"Ghetto Justice" was a drama series with characters of legal backgrounds, and not a legal drama series with emphasis on cases and court procedures.
sORRY, should be court *scenes sucked.
If you watch the series with the expectation of watching a legal drama, then TOT is better, but on the whole, all characters in GJ are better and more endearing than TOT with the exception of Ruco's character. Some of the cases in TOT are pretty boring too, like Ben Huiz case.
"not a legal drama series with emphasis on cases and court procedures."
Are you really kidding? Thats proves my point. You have not watch GJ from start to finish and came up with that conclusion? lol.
There were several court cases in this series, are you really that blind or you did not watch it entirely?
I knew a few cases were prosecuted in court, but the legal arguments were pretty bad in courts. I lost interest in it. Chan Chin Pang acted better than Kevin Cheng in being a defense lawyer.
Then why did you wrote Ghetto Justice is not a legal drama? Which it is.
Larry 3
I am NOT going to argue with you any more on "Ghetto Justice". If you like it, watch it by all means.
I personally did not enjoy it and did not think it was a good legal drama series, at least not to me.
I don't believe lawyers should be like that.
I dont care if you like GJ or not. Im pointing out why did you wrote GJ is not a legal drama? I assume YOU watch it. It is very simple question. If you can't come up the explanation, then so be it.
"Law Ba committed a crime while he was defending his client as a defense lawyer in "Ghetto Justice" ……. directly case related" ———- I checked with a local lawyer here about such an incident and was told he could be banned to practise law for life if he was committed a crime in his own case.
Well, I don't know the situation in Hong Kong. Of course, TVB can surely change the law there in his legal drama series.
Not surprised that Sharon Chan won't be in it as her character died in the first instalment. Was really hoping to see Joyce Tang again though!
Wasn't Sharon Chan dead in the first series?
Sharon Chan is in this series, just a guest star.
"While the original series heavily revolved around murder cases, Ghetto Justice 2 will incorporate recent controversial headlines so that viewers can be able to relate"
TVB's so called controversial is not controversial at all. Truly controversial they would never ever show.
I wish Bowie was Law Ba but I am looking forward to this sequel and blogging about my emotions and feelings for this series in my blog.
"TVB's so called controversial is not controversial at all. Truly controversial they would never ever show."
True. Then again, if you have the HK audience constantly on your backs, complaining over the lamest things, you'd think otherwise. I wonder if people's tolerance has receded over the years or something. Perhaps TVB's level has dropped significantly so audience expectation has also fallen? Whenever they try to raise the bar now, the audience will almost have a fit over it. "Hey! You're not meant to be amazing/cool/edgy/innovative/controversial. Get back in that rut you've been in." Will we even get an Adam Cheng moment, throwing his children off the roof?
Then give the audiences something worthy of a complain. THe idea of being bold for TVB is to cloak a typical nonsensical series with some so called different or controversial theme. Why not film a standard series but using truly controversial story? No just the theme? But they won't. Which I suppose why I don't see Based On A True Story for movies in HK.
Creativity and good writing are simply alien concepts to TVB these days.
(Another thing – which might be completely baseless and off-the-wall – is TVB sucking up to mainland these days. I rarely watch mainland dramas, save for a few ancient series every now and then, so how controversial does their work get anyway?)
Cannibalism and serial killing are pretty controversial, too bad only Jonathan Chik n TVB attempts to challenge himself, but he hasn't been my favourite director of late. Hopefully WAB2 will be good.
Serial killing MOP was boring like hell. Jonathan Chik got issue but make the series ultra boring and slow and pretentious
I also can't stand Moses moping around. This guy not only a horrible ex boyfriend to Bernice but also has pretentious and OTT acting skill
And Jonathan chik always uses the same few people in his series! so boring! first i see Moses as cannibal then next as serial killer. Then next he will be chinese opera singer.. Can he just mix it up a little? It's like TVB already only have a few leading fadans and siu sangs, but Jonathan Chik even worse.. sticking to that group of 5 or so..
Kevin will slap Myolie's butt in this series to score ratings LOL
cant wait.. i agree wth u funn… bowie make a great law ba.
Yay, can't wait for the series. The only thing I'm scared about is Christine Kuo's acting in this though. Hope it's better than her acting in Tiger Cubs.
Christine Kuo is going be a major disappointment if she sucks/if she can't lead well. JJ Jia is ok, she still in supporting role.
I like JJ. She's good at showing different emotions, but it's just her accent that she needs to work on (although it won't really matter here since she's supposed to be from Mainland).
Not her accent that matters but the poor delivery of lines.
Its not her accent, like oceane zhu has accented mandarin but she has a natural way of speaking her lines.
JJ is very awkward in the way she speaks her lines.
i like jj. never minded the accent and i don't think her acting or delivery is bad. i can certainly stomach her easier than christine, and even cilla lok.
Agreed. Christine Kuo sucks. She's annoying in TC
JJ can act and very pretty but when she talk you want to make her shut her mouth again
Does anyone have clips of JJ speaking in mandarin?
I don't know that ppl noticed or not, but JJ isn't a Han girl :D. I find it brings her uniqueness.
"I don't know that ppl noticed or not, but JJ isn't a Han girl "
I know that for some time already.
Where is Mandy ?
Mandy is written off. Unless she comes back to Ghetto Justice 3
All the decent artistes are gone; the only one left is Law Ba (Kevin Cheng) …… at least to me!!
No Mandy? No way!
I like JJ but can't stand Christine! Horrible!
Same here!!!!
looking forward to Ghetto 2. kevin and myolie get so many awards from ghetto. it's their best TVB series in their career. they will shine!
yes love them. They are original. Cannot be replaced by ANYONE, NO ONE.
Yes, Fiona, I do agree with you on what you said. I don't think anyone can take the place of Kevin as Law Ba. To me he's there to stay, Myolie as Si Fu too.
i dont know why they give christine girl so many roles, i dont like her and her acting aint good, and jj annoys me
Both their lips are very very weird when they speak Cantonese. Christine's lips are like some cartoon character, while JJ's are comical.
I'm looking forward to GJ2, support Kevin
So looking forward to watch this! Kevin n Myolie FTW!
I am looking forward to another vintage performance and possibly last TVB drama for KC.
He will be establishing a TV drama production company in Shanghai for the China market.
Anyway, the new characters that I am looking forword in GJ2 will be Raymond Cho, Evergreen Mak and the funny man King Kong.
He still has undisclosed amount years left on his current TVB contract.
Another suprise from KC. He is the main lead in coming Ip Man TV series and will not have any more rest for most of this year.
Kevin Cheng as Ip man? Uhm…….
KC is miscast. I cant see him as Ip man ROFL. Why not cast someone who know martial artd!
Maybe he's copying tony leung's Ip Man, not donnie's version. So it's more talk and less fighting. And probably more romance too.
Sigh, Kevin won't be able to fight off those mainland girls for long. He'll probably be a goner soon.
Kevin's nowhere near Tony Leung either.
I won't mind if he gets a respectable and low profile mainland girl like Gao Yuan Yuan, too bad she's spoken for. But most are blecch!
KC might go back to Charmaine. LOL Charmaine manage to get KC from Niki before.
Praying for Charvin
Love all the episodes so far.

It would seem elementary spelling is not part of the requirement for admission to the University of New Hampshire….tastless??? It is somewhat distressing to realize that this poor soul experiences a "hard day" after rowing crew and sitting around with his fellow hall council members. College life can be tough, we know.

WILMINGTON, Del.-- DuPont (NYSE:DD) reported earnings of 12-cents per share for the fourth quarter, a significant drop for the 47-cents per share earned in the same period a year earlier. Full-year earnings per share were $1.19 in 2001 versus $2.73 for the year 2000.
Segment sales in the fourth quarter of 2001 were down 17 percent from the previous year to $ 5.9 billion. This reflects a 9 percent reduction from lower volume, 3 percent from lower U.S. dollar prices and a 5 percent reduction from portfolio changes.
"In 2001, we restructured to meet current and future challenges; we focused capital and research expenditures on growth; and we sold the Pharmaceuticals and selected Polyester businesses. These actions helped us come out of a difficult year with exceptional financial strength," said Charles O. Holliday, Jr., DuPont chairman and CEO. "Clearly more remains to be done for us to deliver competitively superior earnings performance, which we will do."
For the quarter, consolidated sales totaled $5.2 billion compared to $6.3 billion in 2000. Segment sales were $5.9 billion versus $7.2 billion in 2000. Segment sales were down 12 percent, while fourth quarter income was down $370 million from the previous year to $124 million versus $494 million.
Following are highlights of results by business segment: Specialty Fibers -- Sales were10 percent lower reflecting a 6 percent volume reduction and 4 percent lower prices. After-tax operating income (ATOI) was 52 percent lower resulting from lower sales and margins. In the Apparel & Textile Science businesses, nylon textile prices and volumes were down significantly, reflecting a global recession in the apparel industry, while higher spandex volumes were more than offset by significantly lower prices. Sales and earnings from Nonwovens increased, reflecting strong sales of protective apparel, medical fabrics and construction products.
Pigments & Chemicals -- Sales declined 16 percent on 10 percent lower volume and 6 percent lower prices. Forty-four percent lower segment earnings principally reflect lower demand and prices for White Pigment & Mineral Products, significant declines in DuPont Chemical Solutions Enterprise volumes, and lower demand in Fluorochemical markets.
Nylon -- Sales decreased 19 percent with ATOI down 73 percent, principally reflecting the impact of significantly lower worldwide flooring and intermediates volumes and lower margins. Demand continued to weaken in the flooring market, reflecting reduced spending and significant inventory reductions at carpet mills.
DuPont said it expects 2002 underlying earnings per share to exceed those of 2001, despite continual recessionary pressures through at least the first quarter 2002. It also anticipates its first quarter 2002 underlying earnings per share will be substantially above fourth quarter 2001, though below first quarter 2001.
"We recognize that there is more rough water ahead for manufacturers, at least through the first half of 2002," Holliday said. "But the actions we took last year position us to grow earnings per share in 2002, and we will continue to take the steps necessary to meet our longer term growth targets."
DuPont (www.DuPont.com) is a science company, delivering science-based solutions in markets such as food and nutrition, health care, apparel, home and construction, electronics and transportation.

I have run version 2.2.8 for a while, and I easily made it localized to Swedish by moving a folder from the non-portable version. It also has a nice solution on moving the gtk to the USB, so that several programs can use it from there. I'm pretty sure John is aware of this version, so there must be some reason why he continue working with it. My Italian isn't that good, so maybe there are some restrictions that I don't understand. There are a few versionsThere are actually a few versions out there. I've found 5 myself, actually. But there have been some issues with a few... some have a few plugins failing... others seperate out the GTK directory the way I had with Portable Gaim 1.5 Beta 2 and have the issue where it will fail on computers that have an incomplete GTK uninstall on them... which turns out to be more than I had expected. The main reason is so that it can work with the same directory layouts as the other apps here in the Portable Apps Suite. My version has actually been done for a while... but releasing it would mean a traffic spike the site can't handle until I move to a dedicated host. Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome! GIMP doesn't seem toGIMP doesn't seem to understand a standard Windows System variable %TEMP% which points to a folder that will hold temporary data. Usually this is C:\Windows\Temp or C:\Winnt\Temp or c:\Temp or c:\tmp depending on the version of Windows. Gimp likes to have two temp folders set up and on installing it will ask for two folders to store temp data. When I used the XGimp on a Windows XP PC it coughed at the use of %temp% and so I have to enter a manual value for these temp folders. I just looked at the current value of the %TEMP% variable on that PC and entered the path and then restarted xgimp. Annoying as it has to reload itself again.... Odd that the Gimp Windows programmers didn't think to allow the use of system variables entered by users. Would make it a little more portable. -- -- |

Werewolf XII: Werewolf Strikes Home
All around the mulberry bush, the monkey was not chasing the weasel--for fear of whatever had let out that unearthly howl of despair.
Of course, Riddle had no intention of ever screaming that loudly in his entire life, but the overall shock and despair from losing the two friends one holds most dear (even if he only knew them through the internet) could not be contained by his fleshy shell. Tears streamed from his eyes in rage and sadness. He pulled out his banhammer and slammed it against a tree. Even though the force of the blow wasn't hard at all, the impact caused the wood to explode into pieces. Unsupported, the trunk, branches, leaves, and the rest of the tree all came tumbling down, crashing to the floor of the woods. A loud, woody thunder resounded through the timbers, echoing a chorus throughout the woods.
"Ridds," Ryker said, staring at the moderator with remorse and pity. He too felt overwhelmed by the death of his friend and opponent Dacidbro and his Werewolf rival Dr. Sprite, but was not about to let a sound so inhuman out of his body. He didn't even think his vocal chords could manage such a sound.
Riddle stepped forward and stared at the bodies of his friends. He touched the lifeless shells, remorsed and yet curiously attracted to the death. His fingertips nearly froze to touch the corpses, crying out for warmth again. Riddle noticed something gleaming attached to their clothes. He inspected it, but had no clue what to make out of it. Riddle dropped his hand, then backed away. He would've liked to give his friends a more appropriate funeral, but he couldn't manage it. There was no way to bury them. Sadly, he turned his back, too overwhelmed by the image to continue investigating his friends.
"C'mon Ridds, let's go," Ryker said, trying to comfort his friend. Riddle gave a slow nod, head facing the ground. He slowly moved to Ryker and walked away with him towards the direction of the town.
"Hey Ridds, what's that?" Ryker said, pointing off into the distance. Riddle looked up from his feet, eyes burning with depression. In the distance, he could make out a body lying in the road ahead of them. Fear gripped him, rendering him motionless for a few moments. Not again..., he thought. Once he regained control of his limbs, Riddle dashed ahead to inspect the body. Hopefully he or she was still alive.
Please, let him live. Please, be alive! No more death!
Riddle stopped, panting, looking over the body. It wasn't a man at all though. Definitely womanly. Riddle didn't recognize her though, for he had never seen her before. There weren't many woman in General Silliness that could make that claim. He made a short list of possibilities in his mind.
Ryker, meanwhile, did the more appropriate thing. He checked her pulse and placed his ear next to her chest to see if she was still alive.
"Chill Riddz, she's alive," Ryker said, standing up again.
"I wonder who it is," Riddle said, a quiver in his voice. Even though he was relieved by the knowledge that the person here was simply unconscious (hell, she was rather unscathed too), not dead, the shock of the event was still there, on top of how upset he was over the death of his friends. Riddle took a deep breath and tried to relax.
Almost simultaneously, the woman did too. Riddle blinked in shock, even slightly jumped. Ryker was slightly caught off guard, but wasn't stunned by the effect. The woman's eyes fluttered open like the wings of a butterfly. She gasped, looked around, and tried to make sense of where she was.
"Where am I?" she said, sitting up.
"If I had a clue, I'd tell ya," Ryker said.
"Eh, I'm p. clueless myself," Riddle murmured in response. "Who are you, though?"
"Tee hee~"
Riddle's expression turned to one of annoyance. At least he was right about her gender.
"Hi Inaro," he said.
"Hi Riddle," she replied. His guess was accurate; the woman was indeed Shinarouji. Riddle extended his hand for her to take. She tentatively grasped it, and Riddle pulled her up off the ground. She dusted herself off then looked at the pair of somber walkers.
"You look sad," she said, notefully. Ryker made to speak, but Riddle just turned his head and looked absently into the distance.
"Yeah, he's having it a bit rough," Ryker said.
"Why?" Shinarouji asked.
"I'd tell you, but I think it's better to show you," Ryker said. He led Shinarouji away to see what he had shown Riddle earlier. Riddle stayed behind, staring out into the distance. His mind was long gone, wandering somewhere amidst the wooded countryside that seemed to cover this world. Almost suddenly, his mind drifted into a daydream of sorts.
A young Riddle played in the clearing, holding a bright blue and green ball in his hands. He bounced it around amidst the field, watching the sphere float through the air, arcing up and down and up again, slowly allowing gravity to take effect. Riddle laughed all the while, attempting to catch it before the ball rolled to a halt on the earth. Sometimes he succeeded, sometimes he failed, sometimes the ball clumsily hit him on the head. However, he was enjoying his little escapade with the ball.
Suddenly, a kid about his height in a black robe walked up to him. He greeted Riddle and asked to play with him. Lil Riddle thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. After all, two people were better than one? So he began to toss the little ball between himself and the robed kid. Riddle noticed that each time the ball returned to him, it was slightly more dull each time, slowly turning gray. Riddle looked at it with a childish wonder inbetween passes, pondering on how the robed kid had done that. However, once the ball turned a full shade of depressing gray, the robed kid picked it up and looked at it.
"How boring," he muttered, and then threw it at Lil Riddle's face with such speed and velocity that Riddle did not have time to dodge. At the speed it was going, it was bound to knock the very brains out of him, as well as his life. His skull would be a shattered fragment of nothingness. Just as the ball was about to hit him square inbetween his eyes...
He heard crying. Riddle snapped back to attention. He looked around and spotted Ryker returning, comforting a Shinarouji. The poor woman's faucets and apparently opened, for tears were spouting from her eyes.
"S-Sprite," Shinarouji sobbed. "Why D-Dr. Sprite..."
Ryker couldn't console her. He didn't know how. Riddle frowned and looked away, feeling tears begin to well in his own eyes too. Realizing that the woman needed his comfort more than he needed his own consolement, Riddle stood up, walked over to her, and put his arm around her. She looked over to him, eyes wide with astonishment (and sparkling with tears). Riddle tried to force a smile between the rivers pouring from his eyes.
Their depressions were too slow for the hustle and bustle of town.
It wasn't a really active place, of course. With a residency of seventeen, there weren't that many people to create such a distraction, but considering certain individuals, it was a rather hectic place. I mean, with people like Blargcow and Zack present, a day could never be silent.
Especially when both individuals were having an argument in the middle of the street.
"ur avatars suk blarg kindly go yiff yourself to death"
"furries are hawt zack you'll cum around eventually"
"You're right, maybe I will. I think I'm getting turned on at the moment."
"no. go die."
Riddle felt like banning both to save himself the headache of having to deal with 24/7 Blargcow, but he decided that it was against his better judgment. He had to find out who had killed Dacidbro and Sprite and the inhabitants of this town could probably provide better insight into the murder. Going in guns firing with no absolute thought on who the guilty party may be would probably result with more innocent blood on his hands than guilty ones and getting the spot out would be harder than he could imagine.
"hey zack look its that gay mod riddle"
"oh look the power abuse about to abuse his power"
"Hi guys," Riddle said. "Got some grim news for ya, Adminbro and Dr. Sprite have been murdered."
"lol gayest admin of em all got his," Blargcow said. "no more-I GOTTA WARN JOHN LENNON"
Riddle blinked at the sudden outburst from Blargcow. Placing it as an impossibility that he'd cut himself off purposely and yell out that he had to warn John Lennon (for some unknown reason, probably because John Lennon [the fake one] was a scurvy dog who very much deserved warning), Riddle looked around. Certainly enough, he saw a face smiling at him.
"Hello Riddle," said a familiar voice.
"Figures you'd do something like that, Ssuka. Hi," Riddle responded.
"What's up?" he said. Riddle merely responded with a darkening of his face and expression. "Ah...not good. You mentioned something about Dacidbro and Sprite being murdered...dare I say, is this true...?" Riddle looked at the ground and merely nodded.
"hey stop power abusing you nazi!" Blargcow shouted at Ssuka.
"Now you've broken Godwin's Law," Ssuka said. He stared at Blargcow again and all of a sudden, Blarg seemed to suddenly have gone mute. "There...that's more like it...I'm sorry to hear about Dacidbro and Sprite...it's a sad day indeed," Ssuka said nervously. Riddle merely nodded.
"Ryker and Inaro should be back shortly, they went off to gather everyone else and spread the news about the death," Riddle said, barely audible.
"I see...want to listen to a song I wrote?" Ssuka asked, modestly trying to get Riddle's mind off the subject and get him thinking a little more positively.
"Thanks Ssuka, but I'll pass..." Riddle murmured.
"Alright then," Ssuka said. "If you change your mind, just ask..."
"Alright," Riddle said.
They waited for some time for Ryker and Shinarouji to return. Eventually, both returned with fifteen other people in tow. Riddle made out most of their faces from images he had seen, but some were completely foreign. For example, while he saw Plan 9's face in the crowd, he did not recognize Demon Kirby's until someone told Riddle who he was (though he should've assumed it simply by the ugliness).
"Glad you could make it to such a grim occasion. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news," Riddle began, voice stronger than earlier, "but Dacidbro and Sprite have been murdered in cold blood. I have no clue who did it, just that I found both victims hanging by a thread off a rather thick, low-hanging branch of the tree. I'm furious at such a murder. I want revenge. However, I need to find the killers and, instead of killing you all, I'd rather find out about as much as I can. However, it looks like the sun is setting, so I'll start tomorrow. Please meet here when you've prepared for the day."
Riddle stared out into the sky, gazing at the stars. He felt at peace, for some odd reason. Maybe the concept of how tiny he truly was in the universe made him realize that his grief was merely futile, he wasn't sure. The stars were just a nice thing to watch move. He was tracing them out in the sky with his finger too, reminiscing back to when he was a kid again.
Riddle stood up and looked around in terror. Growing confidence overtook his face and a flash of determination appeared in his eyes. Maybe the assailants of his friends had decided to show themselves. Maybe he wouldn't have to go through all the work of discovering them through the crowd of people that inhabited this strange town.
"Hi Riddle," came a feminine voice.
"Huh? ...oh, hi Inaro. Sorry, got a little worried that the killers wanted three bodies hanging from that tree instead of two," Riddle said. He sat back down again and turned his head towards the stars.
"It's alright," she said, sitting down next to him. "I just wish this hadn't happened."
"Hrm?" Riddle asked.
"My gender! Now everyone knows I'm a girl," she responded, looking dumbfounded. Riddle gave her a smile, her attempt at cheering him up was definitely nice, but he saw through it easily. He decided to go along with it, though.
"To be honest, you were bad at hiding it," Riddle said.
"Oh really~" Shinarouji responded.
"Yeh, you left a bunch of clues. Dacid had you pe-..." Riddle cut himself off, noticing a sad look befall Shinarouji's face. He frowned himself, then looked up at the stars.
"Why do you like them?" Shinarouji asked.
"What, the stars?" Riddle responded. Shinarouji gave him a nod. "They calm me. The stories behind the constellations, the puzzle of solving them, just picking them out, it's all very relaxing. I dunno why."
"Weird," she said.
"Eh, you should probably go sleep. I'll go inside soon," Riddle said. Shina tried to protest, but agreed and went inside. Once inside, Riddle stood up and made a stance, ready to fight.
"You can come out now," he said. "You're poor at stealth."
However, before he could move to defend himself, a ball came flying at his face. It crashed into his skull and shattered it. He never survived the impact.

Win Condition Modification
Townies have a special unit among them known as mods. These mods are more unique roles in that the town cannot win if the mods are all killed. Likewise, the trolls cannot win if mods are alive and well, even if a majority has been reached. Keep that in mind as you continue.

The word "Hermaphrodite" comes from the names
Hermes and Aphrodite
The former being the greek god of masculinity (Among other things)
The later being the greek goddess of femininity (Among other things)
Combined they are used to represent a perfect balance between genders.
The more you know! (Fax frum tha devenci code)
Someone do something suspicious so I can vote for them.

The Jort's role was revealed. Roles were named after members of the GS community. The role's name is in bold.

Don't know if it will help to figure out what role did the killing (since it doesn't connect them to a player in any case), but;
The ball that crushed RiddleJort's face was most probably related to the ball from his day dream/flashback/whatever. Which 'troll' of GS could be described wearing a black robe, along with the other traits described?
I thought of Kuru at first, but first of all, I wouldn't put him as a troll, and second, he's into black mages, who have black faces, not (necessarily) black robes.

Meet Max Azria, international retail mogul.
There appears to be no end in sight for the Tunisian-born Azria's voracious appetite for acquisitions and atypical ways to expand his global empire, which stretches from BCBG to Hervé Léger to a deal with Wal-Mart and, now, a piece of German department store chain Karstadt.
He and private investor Nicolas Berggruen completed the acquisition of the insolvent Karstadt on Friday. Azria, chairman and chief executive officer of Los Angeles-based BCBG Max Azria, said he loves the idea of an American company buying Germany's largest department store chain. "I fell in love with the real estate. I felt that it was fantastic for an American company to take it over. It's great for the confidence of the American population," he said in his heavy French accent.
The wheeling, dealing Azria will own 20 percent of Karstadt and said the partners don't plan to shutter any of the retailer's 120 doors and maintain the 25,000 workers. "We'll put changes in very slowly," said Azria. "We plan to give them direction to considerably improve the business."
He said the now debt-free German retail chain is projected to earn $180 million in profit this year on $4.5 billion in sales.
"I will be the merchant," said Azria, when asked to describe his new role at Karstadt. He said he expects to bring a more contemporary flair to the merchandise mix. At this point, only three of the top Karstadt doors would carry BCBG, Max Azria and Hervé Léger. "I have to learn a little bit more about the German market," said Azria, before he sells in more units. Azria presently operates six BCBG Max Azria stores in the German market.
After nine months of negotiations, the Karstadt deal was consummated just as Azria was putting the finishing touches on three collections he will present at Lincoln Center this week: BCBG Max Azria, Sept. 10; Max Azria, Sept. 12, and Hervé Léger by Max Azria, Sept. 14. The three collections are part of BCBG's diversified holdings, which range from a Miley Cyrus line that's sold exclusively at Wal-Mart to BCBGeneration, a young-contemporary line he launched in 2008.
Expanding his retail footprint around the globe has been an overarching theme for the bespectacled Azria, whose BCBG Group generates about $2 billion in volume. Today, the privately held company operates more than 595 stand-alone and partner shops worldwide. In addition, the group has 200 Max Rave stores nationwide, 115 Manoukian stores worldwide and 15 Hervé Léger by Max Azria stores in the U.S., Europe and Asia. The plan is to open 20 BCBGeneration stores this year. Azria said BCBG's business is running about 6 percent ahead this year, and he's seen a 5 to 6 percent improvement in margins.
Interestingly, all this growth is happening while Azria was reported last spring to be seeking a "minority partner in order to go forward."
Azria said Friday that he was still looking for "the right partner," but it wasn't necessary to find that investor in order to make the Karstadt acquisition. He said he and Berggruen have been friends for about 10 to 15 years and Azria has never asked him to invest in his business.
When initially questioned about a report that he was seeking an investor in May, Azria told WWD: "It can be a strategic alliance, a financial investor. It could [be in] one day or one year. I'm relaxed — I'm not in a hurry at all."
Some observers questioned Azria's interest in Karstadt to begin with.
"It's beyond me," said Andrew Jassin, managing director of Jassin Consulting. "Perhaps he sees an opportunity to bring in contemporary brands. Department stores in Germany are more middle of the road and moderate. He could make it contemporary and bring in world-class brands."
Jassin described Azria as "very astute and a superb merchant. He's difficult, smart and understands both retail and wholesale, as well as design. He's able to spot trends and puts together the resources to do that."
George Wallace, ceo of U.K.-based retail analysts MHE retail, noted about the Karstadt deal: "I think people have been trying to write off department store retailers for the past 20 to 30 years, but I think it's quite vibrant and has got a future. What we're seeing are large-surface retailers with quite a diverse variety of business models, such as John Lewis and Selfridges.
"I think the rationale behind the Karstadt deal must have been, in part, about getting their hands on all of that retail space in such a large market. And if they manage to use that large surface effectively, they can make it work. Look at El Corte Inglés in Spain — they've managed to be very successful although they don't have that much competition. Selfridges has fashioned itself as a 'house of brands' and that business model works, while Debenhams [another U.K. retail chain] has developed its 'own brands' strategy. I think if the new owners of Karstadt put together a mix of good house brands à la Debenhams and some mainstream fashion brands, along with some catering and hospitality elements, they can make the store a success. Today, it's all about strategy and execution. I don't think anyone should be sighing and saying, 'Oh, another department store!" said Wallace.
One London-based retail analyst who requested anonymity noted, "I find it difficult to get excited about this latest deal. The department store sector in Germany — and, indeed, in all markets — has been in decline for many decades. The problem is that different formats have mushroomed over the years and the department stores — with few exceptions, such as John Lewis in the U.K. — have not been able to keep up. There is always scope to improve, but Karstadt's new owners will be working against a backdrop of a tough economic climate in Germany. Don't forget that German consumers will be footing the bill for bailing out the smaller European countries. I don't think this store has an exciting future."

RHONJ: Is Anyone Happy in the Giudice Marriage?
We'd be a bitch if we were married to Joe, too.
You can say a lot of things about Teresa Giudice — and trust us, we have — but she's got one thing going for her. Despite her insanely tiny forehead and notoriously big attitude, she is a hot mama, whose body has miraculously bounced back into bikini shape after four kids.
That's one of the reasons it pained us to see her constantly begging her cretin husband to bang her during last night's episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. He should be begging her. But instead, Juicy Joe was dragging his knuckles off to a secluded place to take a phone call from "a co-worker," which in itself is suspicious. I mean, honestly, does this guy even HAVE a job these days? But the general consensus was that he was probably talking to a mistress.
When Teresa walked over to him, he whispered into the phone, "Here comes my bitch wife. She is such a c***!" Um, this guy just called his OWN wife the C-WORD? The c-bomb is a special word that should be used sparingly, if at all, and only when a stranger or acquaintance — not your WIFE — does something totally vile, like take cuts into the huge checkout line at Macy's during a One Day Sale.
When she got over to him, he asked "what the f*** do you want?" and called her a "f***ing pain in the ass." What's the male version of the c-word? Because that's what describes Joe Giudice, especially if that wasn't Bravo's tricky editing and he was actually taking a call from an alleged mistress while being filmed.
Then afterward, Teresa was BEGGING HIM to have sex with her in the grape field. She was totally wrapping her legs around the pudgy area where his waist would be and he was blowing her off. Hooray for not having sex in public, though, Joe. We'll give you a tiny bit of credit for that.
The Giudices were busy making our stomachs turn all night. During one group dinner, Joe was like, "I'm gonna eat this cheese, but in 15 minutes, I'm gonna be runnin' to the toilet." And when Teresa was trying to entice Juicy Joe to smile in a photo, she was all, "Do you want to bang me in the ass? Do you want to stick your finger up my ass?" Actually, I kind of want to stick mine down my throat right now, thanks.
Sadly, all this was going on against the backdrop of beautiful, serene California vineyards. Too bad it wasn't the sight of grapes that made us want to guzzle a bottle to try and forgot what we had just witnessed.
Other highlights:
– While Chris Laurita and the Manzo boys were visiting wineries for business, Joe Giudice and Joe Gorga were busy embarrassing them. For instance, Joe Gorga was climbing all over a lion carving in someone's home and comparing it to his penis and balls.
– Are we the only ones that laughed when we saw that Richie Wakile wears the collar of his polo shirt flipped up? Straight outta the 1980s, man.
– Joe Giudice and Albert Manzo argued for a while over whether a certain Jersey street corner housed a car wash or a KFC, and it was hilarious. We wished someone would have pulled out a smart phone to look up who was right.
– And finally, when the group was at dinner during their last night of the trip, Teresa made a toast and specifically mentioned everyone there except her cousin, Kathy, who was sitting right next to her. Everyone noticed, and thought it was a totally vile thing to do. What a ….
Do you think Joe was talking to a mistress, or could it have really been a co-worker?

Linux Powers The Spiderwick Chronicles
"We currently have six RaveHD systems at the studio", says Darling. "They're used to provide dailies in our screening rooms. We also use them for smaller reviews and on-demand playback for artists in special viewing rooms. And whenever we shoot with HD cameras on our stage, we use RaveHD to acquire the images and bring them on-line as individual digital frame files. We have been working with SpectSoft since 2002, before the RaveHD product really existed. RaveHD is an awesome system. It has a really nice design that allows it to integrate perfectly in our dailies pipeline—very reliable and easy to use". The RaveHD box is a Linux embedded system that plays cinema-grade motion pictures at data rates that would choke a PC.
"I originally met [SpecSoft partners] Jason and Ramona Howard at a Linux Movies meeting in Berkeley, shortly after I joined Tippett Studio", says Darling. "At that time, we were looking at developing a new dailies system. They had developed a Linux driver for the AJA Kona HD/SD card and had developed some DDR and editing tools. We were able to form a great relationship with SpectSoft where we provided specifications and requirements to them in order to help create a system that suited our purposes." LinuxMovies.org is an association of Linux motion-picture technologists founded in 2002 [by Robin Rowe, author of this article].
Tippett uses more than 1,200 processors in its renderfarm. "Tippett Studio has its own shading library built around the RenderMan Shading Language. Our pipeline tools are also centered around the RIB interface. The most important consideration for renderfarm configuration is that all jobs submitted the night before must be finished by the next morning", says Darling. "Each morning we do dailies to review the previous day's work. If the job is not finished, it can't be properly reviewed. There are occasional exceptions for special shots that may run long, but for the most part, we want everything to finish overnight." The Tippett renderfarm is managed by a proprietary batch-scheduling software, so that each computer in the farm is working on only one frame at a time. "Our distributed rendering system Batch-o-matic has been in use at the studio for ten years", says Darling.
JET is a proprietary Python-based system comprising software tools and scripts used to implement a visual effects and animation pipeline. "A visual effects and animation pipeline is an assembly line of software used to organize, automate and facilitate the creation of computer-generated imagery", says Darling. "The JET tool is highly customizable, featuring XML-based user-interface templates that can be modified to suit specific types of artists or production needs. JET uses modular template chunks to perform each of the tasks in the pipeline, such as rendering or compositing. The templates are implemented as Python objects and are centrally located. JET is not only implemented entirely in Python, but it's also used to generate Python scripts automatically. These custom scripts form unique pipelines for each computer graphics job to run on the renderfarm."
Tippett Studio uses Apple's Shake compositing software, which has been discontinued. "We took advantage of Apple's offer of selling the Shake source code to us", says Darling. "We don't plan on modifying it, but it is good to have for an insurance policy. Shake is still very prominent in the visual effects industry. It's useful to be able to share Shake projects with other studios we're collaborating with. Shake has a really nice image-processing engine. In addition to standard compositing, we use it for all kinds of image-processing solutions in our pipeline. The product is very mature and feature-rich. It has support for plugins, which allows us to develop and enhance compositing nodes whenever we need something new. We don't have any current plans to switch compositing packages, but we're always keeping an eye on what's out there."
"We use Photoshop CS as the painting interface for our texture painting, as well as for matte paintings", says Darling. "It's used directly on Windows and Mac systems. Our goal is to use a system such as Parallels to permit artists to run tools outside their primary operating system. Deep Paint 3D is used to paint textures for 3-D models. The actual painting is done with Photoshop, but the interaction with the model is done in Deep Paint." Deep Paint and Photoshop are both non-Linux commercial tools. Some studios, such as DreamWorks Animation, use Wine to run Photoshop on Linux. Another option is to run an open-source Linux paint package that supports industry-standard high-fidelity image formats DPX and OpenEXR (such as CinePaint). However, Deep Paint on Wine is untried, and there's no open-source option.
"When painting in Photoshop, it is essential to be able to view the image with the same type of color management used to produce the final rendered image", says Darling. "Photoshop supports ICC profiles for color management. Since we use cineSpace in the rest of the pipeline, we had a tool created that would allow us to produce an ICC profile that matched the cineSpace profile. We collaborated with Joseph Goldstone, who is a member of the International Color Consortium (ICC) to create this tool."

Awesome to know someone else uses Linux on Mac Pros!!
This is awesome!! I run a Mac Pro 5160 at home with FC8, I'm glad to know someone else out there is using Mac Pros with Linux on them for the same reason I do. Good hardware at a great price vs. performance ratio running Linux to take advantage of the software I use everyday in my work.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Open Enrollment Policy
Unless specifically exempted by statute, every course, course section, or class, the average daily attendance of which is to be reported for state aid, wherever offered and maintained by the District, shall be fully open to enrollment and participation by any person who has been admitted to the College and who meets such prerequisites as may be established pursuant to the California Administrative Code, and shall be held only in places fully open to all such persons.
Academic Dishonesty and Its Consequences
Students at Ohlone College are expected to pursue their course work with integrity and honesty. Academic dishonesty occurs when a student attempts to show possession of a level of knowledge or skill that he or she does not possess.
The two most common kinds of academic dishonesty are cheating and plagiarism. Cheating is the act of obtaining or attempting to obtain credit for academic work through the use of dishonest, deceptive, or fraudulent means. Plagiarism is representing the work of someone else as one's own and submitting it to fulfill academic requirements.
Students are responsible for knowing what constitutes academic dishonesty and for consulting with instructors about questions or concerns.
Copies of the Academic Dishonesty Procedures are available in the Office of the Vice President, Student Services in Building 7, third floor on the Fremont campus and on the Student Services website.
