MOUNT VERNON, Wash. - &#8220;I kill for God. I ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wash. rampage suspect in court: ‘I kill for God’</strong></p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">MOUNT VERNON, Wash. - "I kill for God. I listen to God," a man accused of a northwest Washington shooting rampage said Friday at a hearing where six charges of first-degree murder and four of first-degree assault were filed against him.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Isaac Zamora made the chilling comment twice at the brief hearing in Skagit County District Court while investigators wrapped up their work at eight crime scenes. The 28-year-old is being held on $5 million bail in the wake of Tuesday's rampage, which left six people dead and four injured.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">District Court Judge Warren Gilbert read each charge and the penalties, which carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. That doesn't mean the death penalty is off the table, according to the Skagit County prosecutor.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">
<p class="textBodyBlack">"Do you talk about it? Sure you talk about it," Prosecutor Rich Weyrich told the Skagit Valley Herald. "Where it goes, it's way too early to decide that."</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Zamora was not required to enter a plea Friday. The charges filed in District Court allow Zamora to be held in custody for 30 days. He will later be formally charged in county Superior Court.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">A hearing has been set for Oct. 3.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack"><strong><strong>Killing spree</strong></strong><br />
The affidavit for probable cause, which details in support of the charges, remains sealed for 10 more days while the investigation continues.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">The attacks began near Zamora's mother's home near the tiny town of Alger, 70 miles north of Seattle, and continued on Interstate 5. After a high-speed police pursuit, Zamora surrendered at a sheriff's office in Mount Vernon, about 20 miles south of Alger.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Among the dead was Skagit County Deputy Sheriff Anne Jackson, who had gone to check on Zamora after his mother called authorities.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Also killed were a man shot at the same location as Jackson; two male construction workers shot nearby; a 48-year-old woman found a few houses away; and a 64-year-old motorist killed along I-5 near a rest stop, authorities said. Two people were wounded near Alger — one by stabbing — and two were wounded on the freeway, including a state trooper.</p>
<p class="textBodyBlack">Zamora, who has a long record of run-ins with the law, had been admitted several times to hospitals for mental health treatment and attempted suicide several times, his friends and family said.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>To see you available shares on &#60;host&#62;</p>
<blockquote><p>smbclient -L &#60;host&#62;</p></blockquote>
<p>To mount a share - a shared folder you need to mount every folder on the host. You cannot simply connect to the host and see all shared folders - strangly enough.</p>
<blockquote><p>mount -t smbfs -o username=&#60;username&#62;[,password=&#60;password&#62;] //&#60;host&#62;/&#60;share&#62; /mnt/point</p></blockquote>
<p>You might want to install</p>
<blockquote><p>sudo aptitude install smbclient smbfs</p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, nachdem ich einem User VPN Zugriff gewäht habe und ihm via eMail detaillierte Anweisungen geschickt hab' wie er es zuhause einrichten kann kam dann der Anruf er könne nicht auf seine "Laufwerke" zugreifen. Gemeint waren die Freigaben auf dem Server die von mir an den Workstations hier via Script gemountet werden.</p>
<p>Ich habe in meiner Mail natürlich sämtliche Freigaben (inkl. DNS Suffix) aufgelistet...</p>
<blockquote><p>Ich: "Hast du die Pfade aus meiner Mail in Start --&#62; Ausführen kopiert?"</p>

<p>Ich: "... ok ..."</p>
<p>User: "Nein, da kommt nix. "</p></blockquote>
<p>Ich geh' mit ihm also das komplette Programm durch, checke ob er angemeldet ist, lasse ihn pingen und Namen auflösen - klappt alles wunderbar....</p>
<blockquote><p>User: "Diese zwei Backslashes am Anfang die du mitgeschickt hast, brauch ich die auch?"</p>
<p>Ich: "Natürlich!!!"</p>
<p>User: "Achso, warte..." [tipp tipp tipp] "Ok, jetzt geht's..."</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Liebe User</strong>, normalerweise regt ihr euch immer auf, dass Admins Dinge nicht detailliert genug beschreiben bzw. zu viel vorraussetzen. Wenn ihr also Instructions von eurem Admin kriegt befolgt sie doch bitte Zeichen für Zeichen!</p>

<description><![CDATA[
Abbiamo visto perché i sistemi Unix necessitano del montaggio delle memorie di massa. Ora passiamo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41H7G8NTS5L._SL500_AA280_.jpg" alt="" width="280" height="280" /></p>
<p>Abbiamo visto perché i sistemi Unix necessitano del <a href="http://guiodic.wordpress.com/2008/08/27/guida-per-principianti-a-gnulinux-perche-occorre-montare-gli-hard-disk/" target="_blank">montaggio delle memorie di massa</a>. Ora passiamo alla pratica.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>In primo luogo occorre dire che <strong>con le distribuzioni moderne il montaggio di dispositivi rimovibili</strong> (come le pennette flash) <strong>è automatizzato</strong>. Il meccanismo è piuttosto complesso e prevede l'interazione tra il kernel e i programmi <em>hotplug</em>, <em>udev</em> e <em>hal</em>, nonché con l'ambiente desktop usato (GNOME, KDE, XFCE, ecc.) che mostreranno l'icona sul desktop e da qualche altra parte (nel menu "risorse" e nella posizione "computer" nel caso di GNOME).</p>
<p>Riguardo invece il montaggio di hard disk non rimovibili, <strong>di norma il tutto si risolve sempre da grafica</strong>.</p>
<p>Nel caso di <strong>GNOME</strong> ci basterà <strong>clickare sull'icona della partizione che troviamo in "computer"</strong>, mentre per <strong>KDE </strong>troviamo la stessa cosa nella posizione <strong><em>media://</em></strong> di konqueror o dolphin.</p>
<p>Quando invece procediamo via terminale abbiamo bisogno del comando <strong>mount</strong>.</p>
<p>Per prima cosa occorre dire che <strong>il montaggio di una memoria di massa, con il kernel Linux, è un'operazione riservata all'amministratore del sistema</strong>. Quindi avremo bisogno dei privilegi di amministrazione. <a href="http://guiodic.wordpress.com/2008/08/20/guida-per-principianti-a-gnulinux-diventare-super-user/" target="_blank">Qui ho già spiegato come si ottengono</a>.</p>
<p>La sintassi più comune del comando <strong>mount</strong> è la seguente:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>mount -t tipo  /dev/dispositivo   /punto_di_mount</code></p>
<p>dove <em>tipo</em> è il tipo di filesystem con cui è formattata la partizione che intendiamo montare.</p>
<p>Il <strong>punto di mount</strong> (ovvero la directory che ci permette di inserire il nuovo dispositivo nel filesystem) va creato. Pertanto, prima di dare il comando <em>mount</em> occorrerà creare tale directory. Conviene farlo dentro la directory <em>/media</em> poiché così il nostro ambiente desktop si accorgerà del montaggio e visualizzerà una nuova icona.</p>
<p>Per prima cosa, quindi:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>mkdir  /media/puntodimount</code></p>
<p>dove <em>puntodimount</em> è un nome a piacere. <strong>Attenzione al fatto che <em>/media</em> appartiene all'utente <em>root</em></strong>, quindi anche in tal caso <strong>abbiamo bisogno dei privilegi di amministrazione tramite <em>su</em> o <em>sudo</em></strong>.</p>
<p>Pertanto il comando può diventare:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>sudo mkdir /media/puntodimout</code></p>
<p>nel caso di Ubuntu, oppure</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>su</code></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>[inserire la password di <em>root</em>]</code></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>mkdir /media/puntodimount</code></p>
<p>nel caso di altre distribuzioni.</p>
<p>Passiamo ora al montaggio vero e proprio. Prima di tutto occorre sapere qual è il nostro <em>device</em>. Per farlo diamo da terminale, <strong>come utente root</strong>:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>fdisk -l</code></p>
<p>oppure</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>sudo fdisk -l</code></p>
<p>nel caso di Ubuntu.<br />
<strong>Fdisk</strong> è un programma che permette di fare molte cose con le partizioni come crearle e cancellarle, ma nel nostro caso, tramite l'opzione <em><code>-l</code></em> (<em>meno elle</em>), diciamo al sistema che vogliamo solo un elenco di quelle rilevate.</p>
<p>Otterremo qualcosa del genere:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>guido@guido-laptop:~$ sudo fdisk -l<br />
[sudo] password for guido:</code></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>Disk /dev/sda: 100 GB, 100027630080 bytes<br />
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders<br />
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes</code></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>Device    Boot  Start    End    Blocks  Id  System<br />
/dev/sda1    *      1    191   1534176  82  Linux swap<br />
/dev/sda2    *    192   2103  15350107  83  Linux<br />
/dev/sda3        2104  10886  70541415  83  Linux<br />
/dev/sda4    *  10887  12161  10233405  83  Linux</code></p>
<p>In questo caso abbiamo 4 partizioni. Supponiamo che la partizione da montare sia <strong>sda4</strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Un attimo... come faccio a sapere quale partizione voglio montare?</p></blockquote>
<p>Con la tua intelligenza :) Se devi montare la partizione di Windows, ad esempio, troverai sotto la colonna "system" la dicitura "NTFS/HPFS" che indica il tipo di filesystem di Windows XP. In caso di più partizioni dello stesso tipo allora è utile guardare in numero di blocchi (più blocchi vuol dire partizione più grande) o la posizione rispetto a partizioni già note, per capire quale è quella che ci interessa. Oppure, <strong>nel caso di un hard disk rimovibile</strong>, lo stacchiamo, diamo <em>fdisk</em> secondo la sintassi appena vista, poi lo attacchiamo, diamo nuovamente il comando e vediamo quale partizione è stata aggiunta all'elenco. Nel dubbio le montiamo tutte ;) ma ricordiamoci di usare punti di mount differenti.</p>
<p>Procediamo:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>mount -t ext3 /dev/sda4  /media/puntodimount</code></p>
<p>oppure, nel caso di Ubuntu:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda4  /media/puntodimount</code></p>
<p><strong>Ext3</strong> è il nome dei tipo di filesystem indicato con "Linux" da fstab. Esistono molti tipi di filesystem, i più facili da incontrare sono:</p>
<p><strong>ext3</strong>: filesystem nativo per il kernel Linux</p>
<p><strong>ext2</strong>: precedente versione del filesystem di Linux</p>
<p><strong>ntfs</strong>: sistema usato di default da Windows NT, 2000, XP e Vista</p>
<p><strong>vfat</strong>: sistema FAT32 usato da Windows 95/98 ma ancora molto comune (le pennette flash sono formattate quasi sempre con tale sistema). Viene indicato con "FAT32" da <em>fdisk</em>.</p>
<p>In questo caso quindi avremo:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>mount -t <strong>vfat</strong> /dev/dispositivo  /media/puntodimount</code></p>
<p><strong>Un discorso particolare va fatto per NTFS</strong>. Difatti in questo caso abbiamo bisogno di scrivere:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>mount -t <strong>ntfs-3g</strong> /dev/dispositivo /media/puntodimount</code></p>
<p>in quanto<em><strong> ntfs-3g</strong></em> è il driver (preinstallato in quasi tutte le distribuzioni) che ci permette sia la lettura che la scrittura, mentre se scriviamo solo <em>ntfs</em> useremo il driver del kernel Linux che permette solo la lettura.</p>
<p>Vi sono spesso problemi con tale filesystem, <strong>poiché Windows ne fa un uso un po' disinvolto</strong> e non, come molti credono, per colpa di GNU/Linux. Il modo di risolverli sarà l'argomento del prossimo post della guida per principianti.</p>
<p>Infine, per smontare le partizioni, possiamo usare indifferentemente una delle seguenti sintassi, <strong>sempre con privilegi di root</strong>.</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>umount   dispositivo</code></p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>umount   puntodimount</code></p>
<p>nel nostro caso</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>umount  /dev/sda4</code></p>
<p>oppure</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><code>umount  /media/puntodimount</code></p>

<description><![CDATA[Nun ist es mal wieder soweit, einer der vielen Computer, die ich zum Arbeiten benutze hat den Geist ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nun ist es mal wieder soweit, einer der vielen Computer, die ich zum Arbeiten benutze hat den Geist aufgegeben. Natürlich passiert das wie immer dann, wenn er mal gebraucht wird, so muss meine Mutter eigentlich gerade ihre Hausarbeit auf diesem Laptop schreiben, aber wenn er nicht geht, dann ist das so eine Sache mit dem Schreiben.</p>
<p>Normalerweise wird, wenn der PC mal wieder streikt, einfach Windows neu installiert, aber was tun, wenn noch wichtige Daten auf dem Computer sind, wie etwa Teile der Hausarbeit?</p>
<p>Dann hilft nur noch ein Nerd, denn meist haben nur Mitglieder dieser Spezies ein <a title="Knoppix" href="http://www.knoppix.org/">Knoppix</a> im Haus, wie gut das meine Mutter einen Nerd ihr eigen nennen kann.</p>
<p>Also schnell Laptop mit Knoppix geboote und an die Arbeit, wobei momment mal, sehen sie, sie sehen nichts. Da ist anscheinend die Grafikkarte nicht kompatibel, also im Textmodus (einfach wenn das Startbildchen von Knoppix kommt <em>knoppix 2 </em>eingeben).</p>
<p>Nun <strong>einfach</strong> noch die zu sichernden Dateien von der Festplatte auf einen USB-Stick verschieben, dafür muss man unter Knoppix <strong>nur</strong> Festplatte und USB-Stick <em>mounten</em> und schon kann es los gehen.</p>
<p>Zuerst einmal die Festplatte in das System einbinden (<em>mounten</em>) und danach den USB-Stick. Dafür sind folgende Befehle wichtig:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>mount mnt/hda1 </strong>//Hiermit wird die erste Festplatte gemountet<br />
<strong>mount mnt/sda1 </strong>//Einbinden des USB-Stick<br />
<strong>cd ~/mnt/hda1 </strong>//Wechseln auf die Festplatte (mit <strong>cd Ordnername</strong> kann man dann in die Unterverzeichnisse wechseln und mit <strong>cd ../</strong> in die darüber liegenden)<br />
<strong>ls</strong> //Zeigt alle Dateien und Ordner im momentanen Verzeichnis an<br />
<strong>cp ./<em>Dateiname.Endung mnt/sda1</em></strong> //Kopieren von Dateiname.Endung nach USB-Stick</p>
<p><strong>umount sda1</strong> //USB-Stick auswerfen<br />
<strong>umount hda1 </strong>//Festplatte auswerfen</p></blockquote>
<p>So <strong>einfach</strong> kann ein Backup eines nicht mehr startenden Systems sein, wenn jedoch die Festplatte oder andere Hardware kaputt ist, dann gestaltet sich das ganze natürlich schwieriger, aber diesmal bin ich noch so einfach davon gekommen.</p>
<p>Nun nur noch bei der Windowsinstallation zu sehen, Windows registrieren und Programme installieren und dann mal vor 3 Uhr ins Bett gehen^^</p>
<p><em>Edit 31.08.2008 11:22:</em> Das war die problemloseste Windowsinstallation, die ich jemals erlebt habe, Installation lief ohne Fehlermeldung durch, Registrierung klappte beim ersten Anruf, Office Paket lies sich problemlos zur Installation überreden und auch Service Pack 3 funktionierte beim ersten Anlauf, warum kann nicht jede Windowsinstallation so schnell und einfach gehen?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[[caption id="attachment_447" align="aligncenter" width="450" caption="No, &#39;&#39;montare&#39;&#39; non in questo senso... "]<a href="http://guiodic.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/dog-style.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-447" src="http://guiodic.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/dog-style.jpg" alt="No, &#34;montare&#34; non in questo senso ;)" width="450" height="337" /></a>[/caption]
<p>Una domanda che si fa spesso il newbie di GNU/Linux è:</p>
<blockquote><p>Perché bisogna montare le partizioni degli hard disk? Windows le vede automaticamente e non mi chiede nulla</p></blockquote>
<p>Ecco uno di quei casi in cui la domanda è sbagliata :)</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>La domanda giusta è:</p>
<blockquote><p>Come mai Windows non mi fa scegliere quali partizioni attivare? Come mai le vede come degli hard disk separati anche se sono solo partizioni dello stesso hard disk? Come mai non mi permette di vedere tutta la mia memoria di massa come un unico filesystem in cui ogni partizione è solo una directory il cui nome e posizione posso scegliere io? Come mai, insomma, funziona come MS DOS?</p></blockquote>
<p>Ecco, queste sono domande interessanti. In fondo non vi è alcuna ragione per procedere come fa Windows. Avere C:, D:, E: ecc. è molto più scomodo che vedere tutto come un unico albero di directory. Inoltre non possiamo scegliere come e quando attivare certe partizioni piuttosto che altre. Con GNU/Linux (così come con gli altri sistemi di tipo Unix) invece possiamo.</p>
<p><strong>Ma vediamo perché e come funziona il tutto.</strong></p>
<p>In primo luogo ricordiamo <a href="http://guiodic.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/guida-per-principianti-a-gnulinux-navigare-nelle-directory/" target="_blank">come è fatto il filesystem di GNU/Linux</a>: abbiamo un unico albero di cartelle una dentro l'altra, invece che lettere separate (C:, D:, E: eccetera). L'albero ha una radice (la directory "<strong>/</strong>" ) che contiene delle directory le quali a loro volta possono contenerne altre e così via. Anche con Windows è così, solo che, come dicevo, non c'è qualcosa che tenga tutto unito come appunto la radice.</p>
<p>Quando inseriamo una pendrive nel pc con Windows, dopo un (inutile) lavorio alla ricerca di qualche (altrettanto inutile) driver, il sistema ce la individua con una lettera.</p>
<p>GNU/Linux invece usa un altro meccanismo per gestire diversi hard disk e partizioni.</p>
<p>Prima di tutto ogni partizione è identificata da un file di dispositivo nella directory <strong><em>/dev</em></strong>. Noi non usiamo di solito questi file direttamente, perché essi ci restituirebbero semplicemente un flusso ininterrotto di byte poco utile se non in determinate circostanze (ad esempio la copia 1-a-1 di una partizione). Abbiamo bisogno di "montare" la partizione nel filesystem, ovvero di "inserire" in esso la partizione che ci interessa.</p>
<p>Questi file sotto <em>/dev</em> hanno dei nomi basati sulle caratteristiche della partizione. Di solito il nome è qualcosa tipo:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><strong>/dev/hdXY</strong></p>
<p>oppure</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><strong>/dev/sdXY</strong></p>
<p>dove X è una lettera (a, b, c, d eccetera) che individua l'hard disk ("a" è il primo hard disk, "b" il secondo, ecc.) mentre Y è il numero della partizione (1, 2, 3, ecc.).</p>
<p>Ad esempio la prima partizione del secondo hard disk verrà vista come:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;"><strong>/dev/sdb1</strong></p>
<p>Da un po' di tempo quasi tutti gli hard disk, a parte i vecchi IDE, sono sempre individuati come sdXY e non come hdXY mentre prima la "s" era appannaggio dei dischi SCSI.</p>
<p>Vediamo la situazione pre-montaggio in questa figura:</p>
[caption id="attachment_445" align="aligncenter" width="470" caption="Situazione prima del montaggio"]<a href="http://guiodic.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/prima-mnt.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-445" src="http://guiodic.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/prima-mnt.png" alt="" width="470" height="510" /></a>[/caption]
<p><strong>Ciò di cui abbiamo bisogno è inserire ciò che è dentro </strong><strong>sdb1 nel filesystem, da qualche parte</strong>. E' importante notare, infatti, che <strong>/dev/sdb1</strong> è visto come un file, quindi non contiene le directory "Pippo", "Pluto" e "Paperino", che non possiamo vedere (ecco perché le ho messe su sfondo grigio).</p>
<p><strong>La "qualche parte" dove inserire l'albero delle directory della nuova partizione è chiamato "punto di mount"</strong>, potremmo anche chiamarlo "punto di inserimento" e, nel caso della nostra figura, useremo /mnt.</p>
<p>Ecco cosa dobbiamo ottenere:</p>
[caption id="attachment_446" align="aligncenter" width="470" caption="Situazione dopo il montaggio"]<a href="http://guiodic.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/post-mount.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-446" src="http://guiodic.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/post-mount.png" alt="Situazione dopo il montaggio" width="470" height="334" /></a>[/caption]
<p>In sostanza il filesystem contenuto in sdb1 verrà inserito (montato) <strong>come se montassimo dei pezzi di lego su una costruzione pre-esistente</strong>. L'importante è avere un punto di "attacco" ossia un punto di "montaggio", nel nostro caso <em>/mnt</em>. <strong>Avendo scelto <em>/mnt</em> come punto di mount, avremo che "Pippo", "Pluto" e "Paperino" saranno delle sotto-directory di /mnt.</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Ci sono delle regole per scegliere il punto di mount?</p></blockquote>
<p>No, nessuna. Possiamo scegliere qualsiasi directory (possibilmente vuota) anche nella nostra home. Ma, di solito, è preferibile creare una directory vuota dentro <em><strong>/media</strong></em>. Questo perché tale directory è "scandagliata" dai diversi ambienti desktop (GNOME, KDE, ecc.). Se usiamo una directory in <em>/media</em> come punto di mount, l'ambiente grafico si accorgerà del montaggio e farà comparire l'icona sulla scrivania.</p>
<p>Ora, capito il perché esiste questo (apparentemente astruso) concetto di mount, nel prossimo post vedremo come si monta una partizione nella pratica.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the heart of the highest mountains on earth, Mount Kailash rises to an altitude of 6,714 metres, and is one of the most stylish and captivating peaks in Tibet. Traditional Buddhist cosmology has often connected Kailash with Mount Meru, the great mythological mountain that forms the axis of this world system.</p>

<div class="mosimage" style="float:left;"><img src="http://visitingnepal.com/images/stories/Trekking/mountkailash.jpg" border="0" alt="Mount Kailash Trekking" hspace="6" width="225" height="149" /></p>
<div class="mosimage_caption" style="text-align:center;">Mount Kailash Trekking</div>
</div>
<p>South of Mount Kailash, across the base of the majestic Mount Gurla Mandhata, are the two lakes Mansarovar and Rakkshas Tal (lake). They are the highest bodies of fresh water in the world, with Manasarovar (330 sq. km), at 4,558 meters, about fifteen meters higher than Rakshas Tal. Buddhist believe that Queen Maya, the Buddha's mother was carried here by the gods and washed prior to giving birth to the Buddha.<br />
The sacred peak of Mount Kailash (6,658 m/21,838 ft) is the final destination for many travelers to Tibet, ranging from tourists to Buddhist pilgrims and other followers of spiritual traditions from far and beyond. From the slopes of Mount Kailash flow four of the world's great rivers - the Indus, Brahmaputra, Karnali and Ganges; embodying its reputation as the 'heart of the world'. Starting our overland journey from Lhasa, the holy capital of Tibet, we will cross the rough terrain across the valleys of Kyichu and Brahmaputra into the expanse of West Tibet. Mount Kailash (officially: Kangrinboqê; Tibetan: Gang Rinpoche, Wylie: Gangs Rin-po-che; ZWPY: Kangrinboqê; simplified Chinese: traditional Chinese: pinyin: Gāngrénbōqí Fēng; Hindi कैलाश पर्वत, Kailāśā Parvata) is a peak in the Gangdisê mountains which is part of the Himalayas in Tibet, the source of some of the longest rivers in Asia—the Indus River, the Sutlej River, a tributary of the Indus River, and the Brahmaputra River—and is considered as a sacred place in four religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Bön faith. The mountain lies near Lake Manasarowar and Lake Rakshastal in Tibet.</p>

<description><![CDATA[As some of you may have noticed, I didn&#8217;t get round to writing a summary of the final episode ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As some of you may have noticed, I didn't get round to writing a summary of the final episode of Richard Dawkins's Channel 4 series "The Genius of Charles Darwin." The truth is, I've only just got round to watching it myself -- and forgot to make notes!</p>
<p>To make up for it, I'm going to suggest that you read the <a href="http://homoeconomicusnet.wordpress.com/2008/08/18/the-genius-of-charles-darwin-episode-3/" target="_blank">excellent summary</a> provided by John over at <a href="http://homoeconomicusnet.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Homo economicus’ Weblog</a>. You could do a lot worse than add this blog to your feedreader. John has excellent credentials and his blog is always a good, well-informed read.</p>
<p>One thing I would like to talk about regarding this particular episode, however, is the attitude of teachers in British schools to the teaching of Darwin/evolutionary theory. In the course of this episode, we are introduced to a gentleman called <a href="http://www.bcseweb.org.uk/index.php/Main/NickCowan" target="_blank">Nick Cowan</a>, who is a science teacher at <a href="http://bluecoatschoolliverpool.org.uk/index_noflash.asp" target="_blank">Liverpool's Blue Coat School</a> (the school isn't named in the documentary, but this gentleman didn't take much finding!)</p>
<p>Mr Cowan can be seen in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8jsQtdeGtw" target="_blank">this segment</a>, about seven and a half minutes in, and in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izYF7U-gCXQ" target="_blank">the following segment</a> -- and if you haven't already seen the documentary, or if you haven't guessed, he is a creationist.</p>
<p>Watching, I was utterly dumbfounded. At one point, Dawkins asks the viewer if he/she would want someone like Mr Cowan teaching their children, and it was like being five and at a pantomime all over again! I actually shouted "no!" at the screen, that's how strongly I felt about this issue.</p>
<p>Choosing my words carefully, I have to say that from where I'm sitting Mr Cowan's credentials as a science teacher of any kind are completely undermined by the nonsense he spouts during this segment. If I had kids and this man was teaching them I would have been waiting at the school gates on Tuesday morning suggesting very strongly that he should be dismissed.</p>
<p>Now some might argue that because he isn't teaching creationism as part of the science curriculum (he teaches it in a general studies class), I shouldn't have an issue with this. But the man is a <em>scientist</em>, for God's sake! (Yes, that was deliberate.) A scientist believing in God is bad enough, but I can just about accept that. But a scientist (okay, a science teacher -- not always the same thing!) <em>believing in creationism?</em>... no, it's too much of a dichotomy, and whilst <em>he</em> might be able to live with that and rationalise it using the unscientific intelligent design copout, I certainly can't.</p>
<p>It is extremely depressing. People like Nick Cowan are potentially damaging our future understanding of science and quite possibly contributing to shortages of properly qualified scientists in science-related industries. Evolutionary theory is a fundamental part of biology. It's vital that these kids have an accurate and truthful understanding of it, that they know just like I know, just like Dawkins knows, just like many, many of my regular readers know that it is a <em>fact</em>. The evidence is so overwhelming that it is now, in spite of what creationists and intelligent design proponents might claim, simply absurd to "believe" otherwise. It is a fact, as Dawkins points out, in the same way that gravity is a fact.</p>
<p>As my former headmaster, Phil Willis MP, says concerning the creationist packs that were sent to five thousand secondary schools in the UK back in 2006,</p>
<blockquote><p><em><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6187534.stm" target="_blank">"There's little enough time with the school curriculum to deal with real science like climate change, energy and the weather. </a></em></p>
<p><em><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/6187534.stm" target="_blank">"This is quite frankly a distraction that science teachers can well do without." </a></em></p></blockquote>
<p>In April of 2006, the Royal Society summed it up quite perfectly, however. I leave you with their comment and the first segment of Episode Three of "The Genius of Charles Darwin".</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"Young people are poorly served by deliberate attempts to withhold, distort or misrepresent scientific knowledge and understanding in order to promote particular religious beliefs." </em></p></blockquote>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>El día de hoy estuve en mi primer timed run a Zul'Aman, estuve en los primeros intentos hace algunos meses y había llegado al tercer boss. Sin embargo este día el run fue limpio, un tanking espectacular (prot paladin, feral druid), un dps insano (destro warlock, affliction warlock, 2 combat rogues, elemental shaman, BM hunter) y un healing asombroso (resto shaman, holy priest). Run de 1h39 min. Y al final del evento timed gané el Amani War Bear con un roll de 96. De esta manera este mount raro se agrega al Fiery Warhorse del Druid mi hermano.</p>
