KTorrent is the default BitTorrent client in Kubuntu. Also see the KTorrent wiki.
- K menu -> Internet -> KTorrent
Install and configure KTorrent
- If KTorrent is not yet installed on your system:
sudo apt-get install ktorrent
- If not using a proxy, be sure to have your firewall ports open (by default 6881 and 4444).
- It is possible to use proxies with KTorrent. For example, if you have a tracker proxy at 127.0.0.1:8118 and a socks proxy at 127.0.0.1:9050, then set KTorrent to use these proxies:
- KTorrent -> Settings -> Configure KTorrent... -> Proxy
- -> HTTP:Proxy: 127.0.0.1 -> Port: 8118
- -> SOCKS: Use a SOCKS proxy server: (ticked) -> Server: 127.0.0.1 -> Port: 9050 -> Version 5 (assuming you are using socks5)
- Although KTorrent is not known to leak information around the proxy, if you wish to be sure that information is passed through the proxy only, then block traffic on ports 6881 and 4444 (in your firewall settings) when using a proxy.
- It is possible to use encryption with KTorrent:
- KTorrent -> Settings -> Configure KTorrent... -> BitTorrent -> Encryption -> Use protocol encryption
In an era of increasing censorship, spying, and surveillance using Deep Packet Inspection, encryption has become an essential componenet of data transfer.
- It is possible to use PeerGuardian 2 with KTorrent using the IPFilter plugin:
- KTorrent -> Plugins -> IP Filter (ticked) -> Settings -> Configure KTorrent... -> IP Filter -> Use PeerGuardian filter (ticked) -> Download/Convert
This service attempts to monitor and filter IP addresses known for censorship, spying, or provision of false or malicious data to this type of Internet service.
- There are two different locations from which to obtain IP block lists to use with PeerGuardian. One of them should be entered in the PeerGuardian plugin settings (if not already set):
- KTorrent -> Settings -> Configure KTorrent... -> IP Filter -> Use PeerGuardian filter (ticked) -> IP filter file -> enter either:
- or (requires donation payment to Bluetack at their website):
- Some older routers only allow 20 simultaneous connections or they will continually freeze (as their connection-table cache becomes full). If this occurs, decrease the maximum number of connections to 20:
- KTorrent -> Settings -> Configure KTorrent... -> Network -> Advanced: Maximum number of connection setups: 20
- Do not share copyrighted material or content that is otherwise illegal to share.
Set Firefox to use KTorrent for magnet links
Firefox is very ticklish about this setting, so follow the instructions very carefully.
- Open a window which has a magnet link on it. Click on the magnet link, and the error "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (magnet) isn't associated with any program" usually appears.
- Open a new tab (NOT a new window) and edit the configuration settings by typing about:config in the address bar of the newly-opened tab. Then add the network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet setting and set it to false:
- Firefox -> about:config -> Search: network.protocol-handler.expose -> <Right-click> on the main window
- -> New -> Boolean -> Enter the preference name: network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet -> Ok
- -> False -> Ok
- DO NOT CLOSE the about:config tab until this step is complete! While the about:config tab remains open, go to the tab with your magnet link available. Click on the magnet link. A dialog box should appear to choose the application.
- Firefox -> Launch Application: Choose an Application: Choose... -> File system: /usr/bin/ktorrent
- -> Remember my choice for magnet links (ticked) -> Ok
- Now whenever you click on a magnet link in Firefox, it should be added automatically to KTorrent and will be found in the KTorrent -> Magnet section. If a different downloading program is later desired for use with magnets, the setting in Firefox can subsequently be changed:
- Firefox -> Preferences -> Applications -> magnet -> (dropdown box)
- Note: Although magnet links have been supported since KTorrent 4.0, some users report that magnet links will not work properly with KTorrent versions prior to 4.3 (and libktorrent5 1.3 and ktorrent-data 4.3).
- Do not share copyrighted material or content that is otherwise illegal to share.
Create a torrent
- See the KTorrent wiki for additional information on how to create a torrent.
- Make sure the "Main" toolbar is visible:
- KTorrent -> Settings -> Toolbars Shown -> Main (ticked)
- Create a new Torrent:
- KTorrent -> New
- Choose the File or Directory from which to create the torrent:
- -> File or directory to create directory from
- Choose the size of the chunks:
- -> Size of each chunk: 512 KiB
- Choose the trackers to use:
- -> Trackers ->
- -> udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce -> Add
- -> udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce -> Add
- -> udp://tracker.istole.it:80/announce -> Add
- -> Ok
- Save the newly created torrent:
- -> MyFirstTorrent.torrent
- The newly created torrent can be then uploaded to tracker sites. Free, open source projects and public-domain files are frequently distributed this way. Please do not illegally upload torrents for copyrighted material. Help for uploading torrents can be found at TorrentFreak or KAT.
Import partially-downloaded torrents
There are two methods of transferring the data of a partially-downloaded torrent from an old location to a new location. Copy both the folder with the partially-downloaded data and the original torrent from the old location to the new location.
- Option 1: Use the KTorrent Import option:
- KTorrent -> File -> Import Torrent -> Torrent: mytorrent.torrent -> Data: mytorrentdatafolder -> Import
- Option 2: Open the torrent file (that corresponds to the folder of the partially downloaded data) as if it were a new torrent. With the torrent "stopped", check the existing downloaded data (by file name) and start rehashing the data (to verify the data integrity):
- KTorrent -> Torrents -> Check Data
Then re-start the torrent and the downloads should resume using the transferred data.
KTorrent 4.3
Download and install the current KTorrent / libktorrent versions from source code according to instructions here or install the Debian (.deb) packages found here.
- The Debian package for KTorrent 4.3 (64-bit version or 32-bit version) can be installed by adding the experimental Debian repository to your package manager (such as Muon or Synaptic):
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian experimental main
- and then installing the ktorrent package using the package manager or from the command-line terminal:
sudo apt-get install ktorrent ktorrent-data libktorrent5
When using a package manager, it is necessary to "Force version" to 4.3.
- If the package manager balks at installation, then download the ktorrent, ktorrent-data, and libktorrent5 .deb packages for your OS version (amd64 or i386) from the Debian site (ktorrent, ktorrent-data, and libktorrent5) and install the packages manually (by clicking on the downloaded packages).
- In general, after complete installation of the package and its dependencies it is wise to remove the experimental repository from your package manager in order to prevent conflicts with future (K)Ubuntu updates.

I joined WBIR-TV in the spring of 2007. I started out working weekend mornings editing shows at 4am. Eventually I worked my way up to my current position of feature reporter for Live at Five at Four. My family has always been into photography and telling stories to one another. I was lucky to find a place that would pay me to do just that.
I've always lived in Tennessee and have called Knoxville home since 1998. When I don't have a camera on my shoulder I enjoy spending time with my wife Kara and our two boys. We do our best to get outside and take advantage of this beautiful part of the world called East Tennessee. Other interests of mine include: snowboarding, playing guitar, art, travel and I'm a little bit of a tech-nerd.
I feel truly blessed to do what I do and even more so because of the team I work with. Channel 10 has afforded me the opportunity to explore my community and help tell its stories. If you have a story you'd like to share, feel free to contact me at email@example.com!

Protect Yourself Online
What does it mean to protect yourself online? Why should you do it?
Although these questions should seem obvious to the regular computer user, it is often overlooked or assumed. We often put too much trust upon the Internet to protect our privacy, and our lives. What we overlook is there is always someone out there looking for an opportunity and you may be the target.
Identity theft is still out there, but now it targets a larger audience in ways we never would not have imagined two years ago. The Target security breach is a perfect example of this. People's lives can be turned upside down by simply clicking on the wrong web address or clicking on a wrong link.
If, or perhaps when, you find yourself in a position that you need to protect your online information ask the following question, what can I do?
What Can I do?
- Do not reply to emails requesting your username and password
- Do not click on links in emails, copy and paste the website name into your browser instead
- Do not open or forward suspicious looking emails
- Do not respond to emails or Instant Messages from people you do not know
- Do not send confidential information through Instant Messages or in emails unless you can encrypt them
- Do not share your password or credentials with others for any reason
- Run all software as a non-privileged user (one without administrative privileges) to diminish the effects of a successful attack

Minnesota State Fair Weather
It's time once again for the "Great Minnesota Get Together." Weather plays quite a role in the State Fair experience. Who doesn't remember braving the heat with the crowds on one of the busier intersections on a sweltering afternoon? A quick rain burst will send people scurrying for cover, and folks savor balmy days in the 70's with just a bit of a breeze. Below are some State Fair weather facts and some interesting weather events that have happened in past Minnesota State Fairs.
The Minnesota State Fair has been held at its current site since 1885. There were some years when the fair was not held because of war, disease or logistical reasons. These years are: 1861 (Civil War) 1862 (Civil and Indian War) 1893 (Columbian Exposition) 1945 (fuel shortage because of WWII) and the last time the fair was not held was in 1946 due to an outbreak of Polio. The fair has a 12 day run each year ending with Labor Day. Thus the fair begins on a Thursday in August. The State Fair in 2010 runs from August 26 to September 6.
Temperatures can be highly variable as the summer begins to slip away. The sun is already setting about an hour earlier than it did in June. The average high temperature during the fair is in the mid to upper 70's with the average low temperature in the upper 50's to low 60's. There's been some extreme heat during the fair with 97 degrees on September 1. 1913 and also August 24, 2003. The coolest fair was 36 degrees on September 1, 1974.
On average it rains about 3 to 4 days during the fair's 12 day run. The wettest fair was in 1977 with 9.48 inches, and the driest fair was 2003 with only .02 inch of rain.
2009 was very pleasant and dry at the Minnesota State Fair. It was one of the driest on record with only .08 inch of rain. It was on the cool side too with the first nine days at or below normal. The warmest temperature was 79 degrees for each of the last three days of the fair.
The largest rain event in the State Fair's history was 4.06 inches on August 30, 1977. At 8:20 pm heavy rains hit the State Fair. The U of M St. Paul Campus climate observatory ½ mile north of the fairgrounds saw 4.06 inches of rain. This caused some of the worst street flooding seen at the fairgrounds. The bulk of the rain fell in a 3 1/2 hour period from 8:15pm to 11:45pm. The grandstand show was cancelled, and people had great difficulty trying to leave the fair. The Twin Cities International Airport saw 7.28 inches from this event, second only to the 1987 'Superstorm." People driving on I-94 leaving the fair found water "up to their hood ornaments" in low areas under bridges.
The peak of severe weather in the Twin Cities happens in June, but severe storms can and have happened during the State Fair. As recently as 2007, just two weeks before the fair was to start, a thunderstorm with high winds estimated to 67mph hit the fairgrounds. Below is an excerpt from Storm Data on August 11, 2007.
A long and wide swath of damaging wind extended from just west of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in Falcon Heights to the northeastern corner of the city of St Paul. Approximately 4000 trees were felled. Affected neighborhoods were St. Anthony, Como and Phalen. The worst damage was in the Como Park area, where many trees fell on houses, vehicles, sheds and garages. One tree crashed into a house and destroyed it. One man was injured when a window blew in on him. At the State Fair, part of the grandstand roof was torn off, and roofs were also torn off some exhibition buildings. Dozens of vendor booths were blown around, with many severely damaged. The damage was oriented from west to east. At one point shortly after the storm, XCEL Energy reported over 250,000 outages across the Minneapolis-St. Paul region.
On August 17 1940, a severe windstorm hit the fairgrounds one week before it opened and blew down tents and damaged equipment on Machinery Hill. One of the tents downed was a block long "big top" tent that housed the International Havester Co. farm implements. Persons on the hill escaped injury.

"I can't ever remember not watching Preacher Mull - watched all my life. It's just a part of Sunday morning."
Rev. J Bazzel Mull broadcast over Knoxville's airwaves - both radio and television - for an incredible 64 years. Generations of East Tennesseans grew up watching each Sunday on WBIR and other television stations.
While Rev. Mull could preach the gospel with the best of them, his show, 'The Mull Singing Convention', was dedicated to Southern gospel music. Legally blind since he was eleven months old, Rev. Mull learned the Bible by having it read to him.
Rev. Mull passed away in September of 2006 after a long illness. He was 91 years old. His wife, affectionately known as 'Lady Mull', passed away several years later.
The impact Rev. Mull and his show made on East Tennessee is long-lasting and remains one of your 'Straight from the Heart' Moments.

A Fair And Honest Review Of All The Mattresses We've Had Sex On
A new survey done by a totally biased, "traditional" mattress company found that couples who sleep on memory-foam beds are having the shittiest of shitty sex lives. Some people surveyed described sex on their memory-foam mattresses as "stuck in quicksand," "uncomfortable," "difficult" or even "horrible."
Well, that sounds terribly unsexy, unless you're into S&M. But you just can't trust this study because the market for memory-foam beds has jumped 20 percent in the last eight years, so these traditional mattress companies — like the one who sponsored this research — don't really have your best, sexual interests at heart.
But we do! May The Frisky bureau of consumer affairs present a fair and honest review of all the mattresses we've hit it on. [9News]

OffBEAT with Frank Turner
Listen to Frank Turner on iHeartRadio
Frank Turner has proven he is a talented, world class musician. He's performed at the 2012 Olympics pre-show in London, performed for a massive sold-out crowd of 12,000 at the prestigeous Wembley Arena, and is releasing his 5th studio album on April 22, Tape Deck Heart, which he calls "a slightly bigger, kind of warmer rock record than things I've done." The lead single, "Recovery," is making waves throughout the rock world.
Frank stopped by the iHeartRadio studios in New York City recently, where he talked about everything but his music, including tattoos, Olympic medals, and croc-jumping. Check out OffBEAT with Frank Turner below.
What do you still believe?
Lots of things! Specifically to the song in question I guess is about, an attempt to kind of just remind myself what I enjoy about rock and roll. It's kind of a cliché thing to say but the reason I get up in the morning is rock and roll music, and I'm an adult and proud to still say that. But I'm one of those people who likes to make out that I'm a cynic but I'm really, secretly a disappointed idealist so I sort of have a fair amount of faith in people.
What would you win the Olympic gold medal in?
Nothing sporting! I'm the least sporty person in the world. So, what would I win the Olympic gold medal in? Iron Maiden trivia, history of central and eastern
What point in time or what moment would you use a time machine to go to?
Being a history geek, I've got kind of endless answers to that. I'm actually endlessly fascinated by the American west in the 19th century and that idea of a kind of essentially lawless, borderless part of the world, so that could be interesting. Although at the same time it would probably be pretty miserable with kind of toothache and getting shot in bar fights and stuff like that. But yea I'd be interested to know what it was like back then.
What is your most meaningful tattoo?
I have many tattoos and I'm one of those people who can kind of talk for hours about every single one in a way that's really quite dull. I'll pick one for now, my lucky 13. A lot of tattoo culture comes out of the circus and out of sailors and stuff like that and the circus had a tradition build up in the 19th century that 13 is an unlucky number for normal people, then it's a lucky number for outcasts. So tradition developed that on Friday the 13th, if you ask a tattooist to give you a 13 tattoo, they have to give it to you for free and I did a show at Wembley Arena on Friday the 13th last year, Friday the 13th of April, and my tattooist was there and I came off stage and I sat down and I said, do me my lucky 13 and he said, "yea, ok fair enough," and he did it on my finger and I was being interviewed while he was doing it after the show and I was trying really hard to make out like it didn't hurt but it really, really, really hurt and I was trying to tough it out. I don't think I was successful.
What makes a good beer?
Something cold, wet and alcoholic. I did a thing last year where I designed a beer and I went down and did a tasting where they had this master brewer and all these shot glasses full of different types of beer. And the idea is you drink one, then you drink the other and then you discuss the differences between them. This way he could ascertain what I liked out of beer and my very, very good buddy Ben, who was a drummer in my old band, came down with me and he was just laughing because he was like, "Man, you just like Budweiser. What are you sitting here pretending like: 'that one's quite malty and that one's quite wheaty." He was just like, "you like fizzy, tasteless, cold beer." So I'm not sure that he's 100% accurate on that but I'm not fussy, let's put it that way.
What are you recovering from?
Ha! Everything. All self-inflicted. My own inability to kind of stick to the straight and narrow, there we go.
What is the best part about croc jumping?
I have a thing about trying to go to new places, and every time we tour Australia everybody just does kind of the five major cities. And last time we went out, I said to the Australian promoter, I was like "come on there's got to be other places to go other than Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth." He said "well there are but people don't usually want to go there." So we went to
What is good and what is gone?
Good is being a traveling musician for a living. It's that secret that everyone who's a traveling musician for a living doesn't want the world to know - which is, we'd probably still do it if you didn't pay us, because it's just great! You travel and you play guitar, what more do you want? What is gone? A number of people that I left behind when I started moving. That sounds terribly melodramatic and I try not to be a self-pitying person in life but the kind of downside of what I do for a living is it's difficult to keep up with people, and there are people who are important to me in my life who I don't see anymore.

WATCH: Seth Rogen & Zac Efron join Jimmy Fallon for 'Ew!'
Seth Rogen, Jimmy Fallon and Zac Efron are poking fun at the controversy surrounding James Franco's questionable online conversations with an underage girl. On Tuesday, the three dressed up as teenage girls for the "Tonight Show's" regular "Ew!" sketch when texts from Franco started coming in.
Seth sat down with Jimmy and admitted that the sketch was the first time he'd ever dressed up in women's clothing. He added that he "loved it" and felt he carried himself well.
On the other hand, he believes his Neighbors co-star, Zac Efron, had some work to do. Seth pointed out that Zac was sitting improperly, while he was sitting modestly.
Jimmy also brought up Seth's relationship with James Franco. Their close friendship recently resulted in James painting a nude portrait of Seth, which Rogen was slightly disturbed by. Jimmy allowed him to get back at him by completing a nude sketch of James during the interview.

Canadian Guns
The Film
Topical Film Company
The Duke of Connaught inspects Canadian artillery in training Camp.' The Duke of Connaught arrives to be greeted by officers and a lone civilian. Canadian's 18-pounder guns and limbers pass the Duke - in the background massed horse artillery can be seen stretching across the plain ready to pass in review. Medium shot of the Duke as he takes the salute.
Pieces of History
Overseas Training in the Canadian Expeditionary Force
Andrew Iarocci
the sole object of training is to prepare our forces for war, success in battle being constantly held as the ultimate aim... It is the function of training to develop the mental, moral, and physical qualities as highly as possible in each individual, and also to inculcate by theory and practice the methods of employing the various arms in co-operation to the best advantage...1
As this passage demonstrates, military instruction consisted of two fundamental aspects: training of the individual soldier and training of formations. When new recruits joined the service, they first needed to learn the basic skills of soldiering—marching, drill and marksmanship. Once these were mastered, the soldier would continue to train for his specialized trade, whether it be infantry, artillery, engineering, signals, medical or supply. Then the individual would join a formation based on his trade, and training continued at the unit level on a regular basis. The ultimate objective was for each component of the army to function cooperatively as part of the whole; this was achieved through exercises at the battalion, brigade and divisional levels.
The first overseas contingent of Canadian troops was formed at Valcartier, Quebec, during August-September 1914. Much of the time at Valcartier was occupied with administrative details, and limited training was accomplished before the contingent—soon to be known as 1st Canadian Division—embarked for England in October. Upon arrival, the division was posted to Salisbury Plain, a large British training area, where it remained until February 1915.
The weather that winter was especially wet, and until recently, scholars have agreed that relatively little training was completed before the division moved to France. Recent research suggests, however, that despite inclement weather and other distractions, most elements of the division engaged in productive training on Salisbury Plain. The infantry learned to manoeuvre in conjunction with artillery and machine guns. Other divisional elements, such as engineers, artillery and signals, as well as mounted and transport troops carried out their own specialized programs. The engineers, for example, learned how to construct field fortifications, while the artillery brigades rehearsed their gun drills. The divisional transport and ammunition columns, meanwhile, discovered the intricacies of moving supplies around the battle zone.
The training of 1st Division did not cease after it crossed the English Channel in February 1915. Upon arrival at the front lines near the Franco-Belgian border, the Canadians were matched up with experienced British troops for orientation tours. The evidence suggests that this formative experience was overwhelmingly positive. As one soldier later recalled, "nothing could surpass the patience of" his British teachers "or their brotherly kindness to us as comrades in arms."2 The Canadians also learned about the costs of war, as they suffered their first casualties and witnessed the damage inflicted on the landscape.
In the summer of 1915, the 2nd Canadian Division arrived in England and began to train at Shorncliffe Camp. The open ground was ideal for company and battalion manoeuvres, and much of the instruction revolved around the challenges of trench warfare. Some of the officers attended British courses, while others went to France for short combat tours with 1st Division.3 With the expansion of the Canadian Corps to four divisions during 1915-16, additional training space was required for the new arrivals in England. A camp was opened at Bramshott in late 1915, and additional camps were added in 1916, including Crowborough, Hastings, New Shoreham, Seaford and Witley.4
As the war progressed, a broad selection of specialized schools was established—both in England and in France—covering everything from hand grenade training to field sanitation. Instructional programs were gradually standardized, while the British Army Printing and Stationery Depot produced a vast selection of training literature on every conceivable subject.
New technology appeared on the battlefield throughout the war and was reflected in training programs. In April 1915, for example, the German Army introduced chemical weapons to the Western Front. All soldiers were issued with respirators for the duration of the conflict and gas drill became an important component of basic training. Later in 1915, the .303 calibre Lewis gun, a portable automatic rifle, was issued to British and Dominion forces. Here again was a new piece of equipment to be mastered. In common with other types of military training, the correct procedure was subdivided into a simple series of component tasks.
Not all military instruction revolved around weapons systems and tactics. Sport and physical exercise were also important; peak fitness was vital if soldiers were to function under the strain of battle. As the British Army Manual of Physical Training explained:
a soldier should be well disciplined, a good marcher, intelligent, smart, active and quick, able to surmount obstacles in the field and capable of withstanding all the strains and hardships of active service...5
Fitness was achieved through physical drills, "Swedish" exercises and regular sporting events. Organized games and competitions not only fostered physical fitness, but also improved morale and encouraged teamwork. During the summer months, battalions, brigades and divisions organized their own sporting events in rear areas. After the war a veteran fondly recalled a sports day from the summer of 1918:
Who lives that does not remember the day of brigade sports at Izel-les-Hameaux? There were races and jumps and hurdles, something for everyone, a ring to box and wrestle in, baseball and football championships. The day was fine... everybody was there. It was a gay scene, the boys of four battalions and the airmen who joined us for the fun, all rollicking together...6
By late 1916 the Canadian Corps was a veteran formation, and had suffered heavy casualties in a series of costly battles, including Second Ypres, Festubert, St. Eloi Craters, Mount Sorrel and the Somme. In addition to formal training routines, this practical and bloody battle experience shaped the capabilities of the Corps. At the same time, the high casualty rates meant that large numbers of new recruits were constantly arriving in France and Belgium. Some Canadian commanders were dissatisfied with the level of basic training displayed by these reinforcements, and decided to establish their own courses at the battalion, brigade or divisional levels. These short refresher courses helped to ensure that new arrivals were familiar with the basics of soldiering before being thrust into the unforgiving front lines.
Training was an ongoing process throughout the First World War, as Canadian units were created, consumed in combat, reformed, and once again committed to battle. Under the challenging tactical and operational circumstances of 1914-18, nothing could have prevented high casualties, but effective training improved the chances that soldiers would succeed on the battlefield.

Artillery: The Great Killer
Tim Cook
In 1914 and 1915, artillery proved it was the great killer. For those caught in the open, shrapnel and high explosive shells wreacked havoc. Thousands were left rotting on the battlefields. However, artillery guns were vulnerable to small arms fire, and they could be driven away from the front. But the guns were soon firing indirectly from hidden positions several kilometeres to the rear, still causing terrible damage. Soldiers were forced to find safety in trenches, digging beneath the ground to escape the murderous fire.
As trenches were strengthened with barbed wire, deep dugouts, and machine -guns, an enormous weight of fire was needed to smash the enemy defences and support the infantry. But there were not always enough shells in the early years to feed the guns. And so the infantry were killed in the tens of thousands as they attacked undamaged enemy trenches in frontal assaults. As the war lengthened, artillerymen received nearly unlimited supplies of shells through the enormous production of munitions factories. New tactics were also developed to improve the accuracy of the guns.
Artillery shells contained high explosives, shrapnel, and, later in the war, poison gas and smoke. Both the high explosive and shrapnel shells were timed to detonate in the air above a target. High explosive shells blasted holes in the trenches and the concussion alone could kill, as lungs collapsed under the force of the explosion. Shrapnel shells were equally deadly, consisting of more than 300 rounded metal balls that exploded downward in a cone-shaped rain of whirling metal. As well, the casing of the shell was designed to explode outward, creating jagged, uneven shards of steel that tore through flesh.
By 1916, commanders believed that massive artillery shoots, involving hundreds of thousands of shells, would annihilate the enemy defenders. This would allow the infantry to punch a hole through enemy lines and restore mobility on the Western Front.
However, it was often hard to hit, and then destroy, the narrow and well-fortified trenches. The problem also lay in the shell fuses. Earlier types were not sensitive enough to explode on contact, especially with shells tasked to clear barbed wire. As a result, many of the shells exploded in the ground, killing very few of the enemy, leaving the infantry to fight their way through defences-in-depth. By the end of 1916, newer, sensitive fuses that exploded on the slightest contact harnessed the destructive power of the artillery and, equally important to the infantry, cleared barbed wire from in front of enemy trenches.
Tactics again changed during the later phases of the bloody battles of the Somme in the last half of 1916. The gunners would never be able to destroy all of the German defences, and even one machine -gunner could kill hundreds of attacking infantry. Instead, the artillery sought to suppress enemy fire through a "creeping barrage," and give their own attacking infantry enough time to cross the killing zone of nNo Mman's Lland.
Gunners fired their shells to create a "creeping" wall of fire that slowly moved forward over the enemy lines at fixed intervals: 50 yards (46 m) every couple of minutes, less for muddy ground, more for open warfare. In effect, it was a screen of fire and explosives. As this moving wall of shrapnel and high explosives chewed up the ground in its path, the infantry were told to "lean into the barrage" and stay as close as possible. Although friendly fire was expected and occurred, the casualties would still be lighter than if the creeping barrage moved off and allowed German machine -gunners, waiting in the safety of deep dugouts, to get to the top of their trenches before the infantry crossed nNo Mman's lLand.
At the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 1917, the gunners had perfected the creeping barrage. Yet enemy gunners still took a fearful toll as they laid down their own counter-barrages to catch the follow-on waves of infantry. The enemy guns had to be stopped, or slowed, but it was exceedingly difficult to identify, target, and destroy camouflaged guns several kilometeres away.
Accurate intelligence was essential, and new and refined forms of science aided the gunners. The Canadian Corps was lucky to have Brigadier-General Andrew McNaughton, commander of the counter-battery office for much of the war, who embraced new technology and tactics. A prewar professor at McGill University, he turned to science to save his soldiers lives.
The Canadian Counter Battery Office (CCBO), established in February 1917, gathered intelligence and processed information on the enemy to assist in knocking out his guns. Aerial reconnaissance from the Royal Flying Corps (later Royal Air Force) was of great assistance as airmen photographed the front from great heights. Later in the war, observation aircraft circled the battlefield, passing real-time information to the gunners through letter drops and primitive wireless radio.
As the CCBO developed after April 1917, this information-gathering and target-selection became more sophisticated, with new technology, like sound-ranging and flash-spotting, assisting gunners to find and destroy enemy targets.
Flash-spotting involved the coordination of observers. At least three posts were needed, usually spread out along several kilometeres. When an enemy gun position was spotted by the revealing flash as the shell left the barrel, the observers were telephoned by headquarters to turn their attention to that spot. After studying the flash of the gun, the observers would hit a key that was connected to a lamp at headquarters. From the observers' bearings, and by triangulating their estimates, enemy guns could be located with high precision.
Sound-ranging worked on a similar principle. Listeners sat two kilometeres behind the line with their microphones. Additional posts were manned well ahead of these positions. As long as there was not more than one shell per second being fired, on hearing the crash of an enemy gun, the forward listening post pressed a key that started an oscillograph, an instrument that recorded on film the sound of the shell in flight as it reached each microphone in turn. The time-intervals between the microphones allowed the CCBO to analyse the information and, if conditions were optimal, pinpoint enemy guns to within twenty-five 25 yards (23 m). All available counter-battery guns would be aimed on that spot to deliver a destructive shoot of 50-100 shells. Chemical shells were also used to kill or force the enemy gunners to wear debilitating respirators that severely affected the rate of fire.
In the last year of the war, artillery had perfected the creeping barrage and was steadily improving its counter-battery work. Further tactical refinement allowed gunners to fire more complicated barrages, like a box barrage. The box barrages set up a wall of fire and explosives around an enemy position —-- usually a trench —-- which effectively isolated it from reinforcements. It allowed assaulting Canadian infantrymen to capture and consolidate a position without fear of immediate counterattack.
By war's end, 43,914 gunners had served in the Canadian artillery, and 2,565 had lost their lives from disease, injury, and battlefield wounds. They had fired tens of millions of shells, reducing the landscape to a desolate wasteland, and an estimated 60% of all wounds were inflicted by shell fire. The First World War was indeed a gunner's war.

HA! Between the chemo and the prednison...I have hair growing where it shouldn't be and hair falling out where it SHOULD be! You just have to laugh at yourself, that's for sure!
We have two cats...so your post really hit "home". ;-)
Hope you have a lovely week Deb. I'm thinking of you always.

Theresa...lol! And oh how true!! Particularly if one is on the chemo drugs. I forgot about them as I haven't done them for some years now. For me it is just extra hair here there and everywhere. And everywhere I don't want it!!
Carlsacorner...yup, I could write a book on being a bear :-) But I highly doubt you are a grouchy bear. More likely the cuddly one that everyone loves!
Cathy...sweet cat. Mmmmmm....cats can be sweet? Maybe one in the form of a cupcake perhaps. You are too kind!

Haha, I was going to ask if you hunted your food but you answered that . We have one cat thats a PIB, it decides if you get to love on it or not, partially because one of our dogs tried to love on it with her teeth. So the cat doesn't trust anyone with 2 or 4 legs now. Love the kite photo ... we should all be doing that every day!

Completely agree! I have ALMOST resorted to shaving at times. I think I am as furry as our kitty. Ours curls up to sleep on my legs in the afternoon and I wish I could stay with her when I have to get up to start running my kids around. The cat-life and the RA-life would meld so purr-fectly :) Hope you are feeling a bit better. I am creaking along!

What a fun post, Deb. I read it not long after you wrote it, didn't have time to leave a comment, and then forgot to come back. Well, now I'm here, I've just reread, and I like it just as much the second time!
I must say, though, that you caught me with the word "crespucular," writing about joining your cats for wanders during the night. I thought, does she mean her kitties' joints crackle? I tried to envision the three of you, padding along, trying to be silent as all your knees popped and cracked. Nooo, I thought. That word can't mean that! I looked it up. (We are Never Too Old for a dictionary). And sure enough, you didn't mean "crepitus," which was what I mixed up crepuscular with. The latter word, of course, refers to animals that are active at night.
So I had a little laugh at myself, which made me enjoy your post even more. And I do love the photos of your marmalade tabbies. They've always been some of my favorite felines.
Hope you're feeling well, and looking forward to a new post one of these days. ;o)

Hey Deb: Just checking in with you. It's now March and we haven't seen a new post from you in a while and I was getting concerned. Unless of course you actually turned into a cat and your paws don't type very well! Check in when you can. We miss you.

Your cat is adorable, can't help not to mention her in my comments. By the way, I used to sleeping a lot after being diagnosed with RA. Must be the medications i get. But i found out that exercise helps a lot in coping up.
It is very important to exercise and increase muscle tone of your non-weight bearing joints. Of course, it is important to maintain good cardiovascular fitness as well. Walking with appropriate supportive shoes is another important consideration. Just wanna share the information i found online about rheumathoid arthritis

Hey you! I don't have an email address to get a hold of you, but you have been on my mind this week, so I decided to reach out here! How are you??? It's been months since your last post so I hope everything is okay. If you happen to read this, send me a note at my email - email@example.com - and let me know how you are. :-) Then I can stop worrying.

Deb, I don't have ra (they say). Another form of degenerative arthritis. They started me on methotrexate shots....that's when the cat poop hit the fan....it hit me in every joint. My legs swelled so bad I had to use a cane...The pain in my knees and legs was excruciating. Went back to see of there was an antidote...they gave me prescription anti-inflamatories. I guess they r helping...but i will never b back to the way I was. Did I say I went ONLY because of the pain and inflammation in my right hand.? Your friend, joyce m

Miki's opened to great fanfare last October, following seven years of blight at the plaza near East Meadow Drive. But after months of poor sales, Miki's closed on Wednesday, leaving owner Michael "Miki" Werness with $1 million in debt.
JJ&F, a 65-year-old market located at 520 College Ave., is part of the planned College Terrace Centre redevelopment at College Avenue and El Camino Real. The center would include 40,000 square feet of office space, 5,580 square feet of other retail and eight units of affordable housing.
But the economic downturn brought the project to a standstill, according to people close to the development. Project architect Tony Carrasco said in March that developer Adventera Inc. is "still trying to get it financed."
City officials have given the project a one-year extension to submit plans for a building permit, said Curtis Williams, the city's director of planning and community environment.
Khoury said on March 26 that he is dissatisfied with the situation. There is garbage around the abandoned adjacent property, the roof leaks and the business is not getting adequate customers to make money, he said.
Adventera President Patrick Smailey did not return requests for comment.
So now Khoury is considering opening a store in Alma Village, he said. Whether he would close the College Terrace grocery remains to be seen. If conditions stay as they are, "We'll have to leave. We're wasting our time here," he said.
The Khourys looked over the Alma store last Thursday.
Werness, however, said he wasn't sure whether any other operator would be successful in the space. The store's struggles were in part based on the Alma Village project itself, and the political climate in which it was built. People didn't like the project, and some were resolved not to shop there, he said.
Asked on Tuesday if any deal had materialized between him and the Khourys, his answer was short and to the point.
"No. I'm finished," he said, shaking his head.
Property owner John McNellis said in an email that he hasn't heard anything about the Khourys' interest.
"Even if I had, I wouldn't comment on it, as we never comment on leases or potentials until a lease is actually signed — bad luck to do otherwise," he said.

ANAHEIM - The Angels had significant issues with pitchers on Friday:
Jered Weaver still has not regained the form that made him a 20-game winner last season, but kept his team within striking distance; Jason Vargas, who has pitched well of late, went on the disabled list; and a hometown kid came in with the traveling Pittsburgh Pirates and shut the Angels down - for six innings at least.
Gerrit Cole (Orange Lutheran High, UCLA), making his third major league start and first on the road, had a two-hit shutout through six innings before running into trouble in the seventh.
But the Pirates bullpen held the lead and the Angels fell 5-2 on Friday night at Angel Stadium in the first of three interleague games with Pittsburgh before an announced crowd of 40,136.
The power-pitching Cole, relying on fastballs and sliders, got it done against an Angels team that pounded out 17 hits, including 12 against Seattle ace Felix Hernandez, the night before.
"My slider saved me at times," Cole said. "My fastball command was probably sub-par, but I was able to attack with it."
Cole gave Angels hitters fits until the seventh inning, when Albert Pujols led off with a solo home run to left-center field. It marked the 13 th home run of the season for Pujols and 488 th of his career.
Cole followed by walking Mark Trumbo. It was Cole's first major league walk. Then Howie Kendrick piled on by hitting a line drive off Cole's upper left leg, but the ball banked to second baseman Neil Walker, who threw out Kendrick at first.
Alberto Callaspo pulled the Angels to within 4-2 with an RBI single, which marked the end of the night for Cole, who grew up with season tickets to the Angels and had several friends and family members in attendance.
"I had fun with it," Cole said. "I just tried to keep it simple and make my pitches."
Reliever Vin Mazzaro got both Brad Hawpe and Hank Conger to fly out to end the inning. Mazzaro and closer Jason Grilli held the Angels scoreless the rest of the way. Grilli pitched a 1-2-3 ninth to pick up his 26 th save.
Cole, a 2011 No. 1 draft pick out of UCLA, hurled 6 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts on a night his former team, UCLA, reached the final series of the College World Series.
"That's the cherry on top," Cole said.
Weaver was on the disabled list for 50 days with a fractured left elbow earlier this season. He has now given up at least four earned runs in three consecutive starts. Weaver made his seventh start of the season, and fifth since returning from the disabled list.
"My last three starts it seems like I have one blow-up inning," Weaver said. "I just have to learn to stay away from it."
Weaver had an eight-game winning streak in interleague play dating back to 2009 going into the game.
Weaver threw six innings, allowing four runs on nine hits and no walks with three strikeouts.
"He's trying to work back into his stamina, having a broken arm heal, there's a number of things that add up to him not being as crisp as he can be," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "But he's not that far off."
Scioscia said he's not concerned about the velocity on Weaver's fastball, which often is in the mid-80 s.
"His velocity is no different than last year," Scioscia said. "Once he commands counts better and opens up counts for his secondary pitches, he'll be fine."
After surviving a two-out double by Andrew McCutchen in the first inning, Weaver gave up three runs in the second inning. He got a fastball up and over the plate to Pedro Alvarez, who launched it into the right-field seats to give Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead. Travis Snider had a two-out single before Jordy Mercer (3 for 4) belted a two-run home run to left field on a fastball inside left up in the zone.
"The name of my game is being able to locate my fastball when I need to," said Weaver, who fell to 1-4. "I have not done that."
The Pirates were given a run in the fourth inning. With Neil Walker on first and two outs, Starling Marte lofted a deep fly ball to center field, which Peter Bourjos lost in the lights. The ball one-hopped the wall and Marte had himself a gift RBI triple. Russell Martin thought he'd test the lights as well and lofted a fly ball to Bourjos, who gloved it for the third out, but the Pirates held a 4-0 lead.
In the fifth inning, Garrett Jones delivered his second double of the game, but Mike Trout saved a run when he made a diving catch on the warning track in the left-field corner on a blast by Gaby Sanchez.
Conger hit the ball hard all night but had only one hit to show for it.
Conger went 1 for 3 with a line-drive single and flew out twice to the warning track.
Billy Buckner, who was called up earlier in the day from Salt Lake to replace Vargas, pitched 2 2/3 innings of effective relief.
Andrew McCutchen (2 for 5) delivered an RBI double down the left-field line to give the Pirates a 5-2 lead in the top of the ninth inning off Angels reliever Michael Kohn.

Tax attorneys understand the interplay of different tax laws and regulations, and in planning strategies to minimize people's tax liabilities. Many tax laws are written by lawyers for lawyers, and as such are very difficult to understand. There are also many different types of taxes and tax laws–for example, income taxes, corporate and business taxes, death taxes, property taxes, estate and gift taxes, sales taxes, and international taxes. Sometimes taxes are based on an inflated or incorrect value the government has placed on an entity or activity. Tax attorneys will help you challenge the value or the tax itself, and help you reduce your taxes through careful planning.

Buffaloes get chipped by Beavers
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Sean Mannion keeps etching his name into the Oregon State record books.
The junior passed for a school-record six touchdowns and 414 yards in Oregon State's 44-17 win over Colorado Saturday at Reser Stadium.
Mannion surpassed the previous record of five he had met earlier this season in the Beavers' win over Utah. He found Brandin Cooks and Caleb Smith in the end zone twice, and one apiece to Terron Ward and Connor Hamlett in helping guide the Beavers to a 4-1 record on the year.
Colorado, meanwhile, dropped to 2-1 on the year.

Page 1458
Whereas, pursuant to the provisions of the act of May 27, 1902 (32 Stat., 263), as amended, the unallotted lands of the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation in the State of Utah, were made subject to disposal under the laws of the United States applying to public lands, and
Whereas, there are now remaining undisposed of within said area approximately 217,000 acres of unallotted lands, which need closer administrative control in the interest of better conservation practices, and
Whereas, by relinquishment and cancellation of homestead entries within this area a limited additional acreage of land of similar character may later be included within this class of undisposed-of opened land, and
Whereas, the Tribal Council, the Superintendent of the Uintah and Ouray Agency, and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs have recommended restoration to tribal ownership of such undisposed-of surplus unallotted lands in the said reservation.
Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority vested in the Secretary of the Interior by sections 3 and 7 of the act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat., 984), I hereby find that restoration to tribal ownership of all lands which are now or may hereafter be classified as undisposed-of opened lands of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation will be in the public interest, and the said lands are hereby restored to tribal ownership for the use and benefit of the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in Utah, and are added to and made a part of the existing reservation, subject to any valid existing rights.
Secretary of the Interior.

I would like to humbly ask that the package "gpm" be
included in the final release of BT4. Some "gpm" was
included in BT3 but I don't know if that was by conscious
decision or if it was just inherited with the Slackware
base. It is not in the pre-final release of BT4.
I use it to copy and paste text in a virtual terminal
(virtual console), so since I notice that you have included
six of them (really five since you are using tty1 yourself),
I would hope that you would feel that "gpm" is a valuable
adjunct for people who want to (sometimes at least) work
I have used it for many years and really like it, but I
don't claim to be a software expert. Google pointed me at
"freshmeat (dot) net /projects/gpm" which said "GPM (General
Purpose Mouse) is a mouse server for the console and xterm"
and went on with details like it being GPL-licensed and some
of the recent changes.
Wikipedia ("GPM_(software)") gave a slightly different
version number than the Freshmeat site, as well as what is
claimed to be a developer's site (and a manpage pointer) but
I don't know whether any of that is true -- or if you care.
I see that some Ubuntu mirror has an ubuntu/pool/main/g/gpm
directory which has things like gpm_1.20.4-3.2ubuntu1.dsc in
it but I don't know if that's what you need or not. It also
has gpm_1.20.4.orig.tar.gz, probably the original source.
To be sure I theoretically could just say "apt-get install
gpm" but I claim that it would be very useful to people
(like me) who don't plan to go onto the Internet with BT4 --
if it were included. It's a relatively small program;
gpm_1.20.4-3.2ubuntu1_i386.deb is only 210K.
At any rate, thank you for your time and trouble in
considering my request.
(Thank you also for the BackTrack distribution, which I only
recently discovered and started investigating. I am very
grateful that you all have made it. I really like it.)

This continuum of lab services also allows for quick retrieval of test results from both inpatient stays and outpatient visits with one phone call.

DRL provides 24-hour access to lab services. Our patient service centers are open during normal weekday business hours with limited services on Saturdays. During all other times, patients can access DRL services through the lab located at the main Deaconess campus.

SESTRIERE, Italy -- After winning the first run yesterday in the Olympic giant slalom, Francois Bourque said the feeling he had before his final run was, "like someone punched me in the stomach."
Imagine how he felt 1:19.31 later when he looked up to see he'd finished fourth.
It's probably much like the feeling Kelly Vanderbeek had one hour later when her second-place super-G standing with two skiers to go plummeted to fourth.
All this, of course, just two days after team leader Erik Guay was bumped to fourth by the final skier of the day, Hermann Maier - his childhood hero.
(Interestingly, Maier was also Bourque's idol until he bumped Bourque off the podium yesterday.)
In a week-long stretch that saw Allison Forsyth helicoptered off the hill with a torn knee ligament and Guay scratched from two events because of injury, these certainly have been the hard-luck games for Alpine Canada.
Add fourth-place finishes for mogul masher Marc-Andre Moreau, snowboarder Maelle Ricker and skeleton's Paul Boehm and it's official: Canada leads these Olympics in coulda-woulda-shoulda medals.
While Canada is still hanging tough in the gold/silver/bronze count, no other country can boast having six tin.
As Guay reminded everyone - fourth is first of the losers.
No World Cup points, no top-10 cheque - all you can do is shake your head and pray for a positive drug test from the top three.
"For sure at the Olympics it's top three or nothing, so I'm disappointed," said Bourque, 21, whose shoulders slumped when the scoreboard showed his first-run lead turned into a .92-second deficit behind Maier.
"It's not a feeling you like."
The good news in all this, Alpine Canada president Ken Read says, is that all six of Canada's fourth-place finishers here are competing in their first Olympics. And with Vancouver 2010 being the be-all, end-all for winter athletes in Canada, fourth-place finishes bode well. They can have the effect of creating an intense desire to finish the job next time around.
And that's exactly what Jennifer Heil did this year after finishing one one-hundredth of a point out of the medals in Salt Lake City.
"I was 23-hundredths off the podium and I've replayed that run many times in my head," Read said of his first Olympics in 1976 when he finished fifth.
"I do know it positioned me for four years later and that's the good thing in all this."
As a point of interest, Read didn't make the podium four years later due to a wonky binding that ended his run early. But he makes a good point. "In our sport usually the first Olympics you don't deliver - you gain experience and go for it the second time around," said Read, whose ski team is still looking for its first Olympic medal since 1994.
"That's very positive for us looking to 2010."
Rest assured, that was of little consolation to Bourque and Vanderbeek yesterday.
"I'm happy but devastated at the same time," said Vanderbeek, a 23-year-old Kitchener, Ont., native, who has never hit a World Cup podium. "The disappointment really hit when I watched the girls on the podium and heard the national anthem. This gives me a lot of motivation for the next races and the upcoming ski racing seasons. 2010 still seems far for now but I'm definitely motivated for skiing at my best in Vancouver."
As Read says, "The true champions will take it and learn from it."
The others spend a lifetime thinking of what could have been.

Fortunoid is a Plasma Widget that serves as a frontend GUI for the fortune package.
Installing the Fortunoid widget package (in Kubuntu/KDE) by
sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-fortunoid
will also install the fortune package. If only the fortune package is desired (which can be run in a command-line terminal), it can be installed by itself:
sudo apt-get install fortune
- or
sudo apt-get install fortune-mod
The fortune module can be customized.
- The quotations themselves are stored in the /usr/share/games/fortunes folders.
- There are multiple categories of quotations, and the file for each category can be edited directly.
- When using the command-line, categories of quotations can be selected merely by specifying them. Example:
fortune zippy science
- There are many options for the command-line fortune utility (see here). Any or all of these command-line options can be entered as an argument in the Fortunoid widget.
Adding categories of fortunes (fortune modules)
- See this list of the original fortune modules (categories).
- Other modules can often be found by a Google search for fortune-mod.
- Wikiquotes is an online repository for quotations. A webpage can easily be copied to a text file, for conversion into a fortune data file (see below). An example page is Wikiquotes -- Zen proverbs.
- See this brief tutorial.
- Make sure fortune-mod is installed:
sudo apt-get install fortune-mod
- Change to the fortune directory:
cd /usr/share/games/fortunes
- Edit a category text file with quotations separated by % symbols:
I reject your reality and substitute my own... % This is one of those "What the hell am I doing?" moments, over! % We got a robot in the water, he's stuffed with tuna and it's just another day here at Mythbusters.
Then, for example, save this text file as newcategory1.
- It is also possible to include a URL as the text in a quotation. (Most browsers will then automatically change the text into an actual link.) In this way, a list of random URL links can be displayed through the Fortune module.
My reality comes from http://ubuntuguide.org % When I wonder "What the hell I am doing?" I go to Kubuntuguide at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Kubuntuguide % MediaWiki is the premier wiki. Vist their website: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki
- There is also a UTF-8 file which is merely a symbolic link to the text file:
sudo ln -s newcategory1 newcategory1.u8
- Convert the text file into a data file for use by fortune.
sudo strfile newcategory1 newcategory1.dat
- Select newcategory1 as a command-line option or as an argument in Fortunoid.
Using Fortune in Drupal
- A Drupal plugin for Fortune is available. While this is a nice module, the disadvantage of it is that it displays the quotations in Monotext; there is no ability to select font size and type.
On a server with Drupal installed, download the module:
cd /etc/drupal/6/all/sites/modules sudo wget http://ftp.drupal.org/files/projects/fortune-6.x-1.0.tar.gz sudo tar zxvf fortune-6.x-1.0.tar.gz sudo rm fortune-6.x-1.0.tar.gz
Note: The module can also be placed in a particular subsite's module folder (if there are multiple Drupal subsites on the server), instead of in the sites/all/modules folder.
Enable the module:
- Drupal -> Administer -> Site building -> Modules -> Other -> Fortune (ticked) -> Save configuration
- Load the module (update) and set permissions in Drupal as usual.
- Configure the Fortune settings:
- Drupal -> Administer -> Site configuration -> Fortune
- -> Select the categories of quotations desired -> Submit
- Add the Fortune Block on your site:
- Drupal -> Administer -> Site building -> Blocks -> Fortune -> Configure
- -> Show block on only the listed pages (ticked): list of pages you wish Fortune block shown on -> Save
Using Fortune in MediaWiki
- See this section.
