Ronny: Refs don't protect us

Cristiano Ronaldo feels he is not given enough protection from referees and fears suffering a serious injury.

The winger was denied a clear penalty against Portsmouth in the FA Cup quarter final defeat at Old Trafford. That incident, coupled with persistent fouling throughout the game, highlights an oft-felt view that the Portuguese is not protected by referees.

"It's very frustrating, the referee was unbelievable," he told MUTV. "He didn't want to give the penalty, he didn't want to give yellow cards - I'm very disappointed.

"Refs don't protect skilful players. I think about the Arsenal player (Eduardo) and I'm scared sometimes to do skills because some players do unbelievable fouls and the ref protects the defender, not the skilled player! It's very disappointing and I'm thinking a lot about changing my game. When referees don't give penalties, yellow cards or reds, it's difficult to play."

Sir Alex Ferguson was left aghast that referee Martin Atkinson did not award a penalty for Sylvain Distin's clear bodycheck on Ronaldo in the seventh minute. Ronaldo added: "He (Distin) didn't try to take the ball. It's a joke."

But it wasn't just refereeing decisions that disappointed the 22-year-old. "We lost today and everyone is disappointed because we were the best team," he said. "We created ten chances while Portsmouth created just one. It's frustrating to lose like that.

"We controlled the game, but we didn't score. Carrick had one cleared off the line, Patrice hit the post... we had a great chance to win the FA Cup but we need to think now about the Premier League and the Champions League. These are the priorities."

How to Open Password Protected PDF Documents

There are sometimes genuine reasons to unlock or crack a password protected PDF file. You have the legal right to open the encrypted PDF document but forgot the password like in the case below.

Say one of your former colleague created some critical sales reports in PDF format but he is not working with the company anymore. In his absence, you have no option but to crack the PDF password in order to open, read or print these PDF files.

There are basically two types of PDF protection - the original PDF creator can either restrict opening the PDF file itself or he can restrict others from modifying, printing or copying text and graphics from the PDF file. Here are a few possible workarounds:

When there are Copying or Printing Restrictions..

Say you want to print a couple of pages from the PDF document but the document settings won't let you do that.

Open the document in Acrobat Reader or Foxit and capture the PDF page as an image using any free screen capture software. If there are multiple pages, you may try SnagIt since it can autoscroll and capture multiple pages of the document in one-go.

If you want to copy just a portion of text from some PDF page, use a screen capture tool with OCR features (like Kleptomania, Capture Text discussed here)

Alternatively, you can invest in commercial solutions like Advanced PDF Password Recovery from ElcomSoft and PDF Password Remover from Very PDF.

(These utilities may not recover the password for you - they'll just remove the restrictions from the password protected file)

When there are Document Opening Restrictions..

This is a very tricky case and there's no straight-forward solution to read PDF documents that are password-protected at the Open level.

The software will use methods like Brute Force, Key Search and Dictionary Attack to guess the password. They will try to use all possible character combinations as the password and so the process might take hours or even days and would really depend on your computer's processing power.

Legal Issues: - you maybe surprised to learn that these PDF password cracking software are absolutely legal and Microsoft even awarded ElcomSoft a Gold Certified Partner status.

25 Tips To Optimize Your Blog For Readers & Search Engines

Everyone and their dog (yes, there are a few dogs out there with their own blogs) have started up a blog these days, but many people just aren’t taking the steps needed to optimize their blogs for both readers and search engines. While blogs can be business related (another blog about mesothelioma anyone?) they can also be personal where you talk about the great ham sandwich you had for lunch today or the crappy service you had at that trendy restaurant last night.

But whether your blog is business or personal, you should ensure that you are optimizing your blog for both your readers (after all, you want to keep those readers coming back) and the search engines. Unfortunately, optimization is an important step that far too many blogs seem to be skipping over, even those that have a broad appeal to surfers and have the potential to be monetizable.

How to Post Source Code?!

It will be cool right if we can add the source code of any programming language in this blog… Do you know how to do it?!! Ok.. Actually this trick is given by wordpress perhaps some of us not realize this thing…

[sourcecode language=’php’]
$host=”localhost”;
$username=”root”;
$password=”";
$databasename=”KTCI_DATABASE”;
$link=mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) or die(”Database is not connected!”);
$selectdb = mysql_select_db($databasename, $link)or die(”Database is not selected!”);
?>
[/sourcecode]

Wrap your code in these tags: [sourcecode language=’css’]…[/sourcecode]. You can replace the language with “css” with the language that you’re writing in. Currently we support syntax highlighting for the following language codes:

* cpp
* csharp
* css
* delphi
* java
* jscript
* php
* python
* ruby
* sql
* vb
* xml

The language attribute is required! If we don’t have what you need pick the closest.
Code in between the [sourcecode] tags will automatically be encoded for display, you don’t need to worry about HTML entities or anything.

Creating a Site Map for your web site

The simplest way to create a site map is to use the HTML Unordered Lists tag

. The tag can be employed to create simple one-level lists and also display the hierarchical structure of your web site by nesting lists if your site s more complex.



The Unordered Lists tag
supports a neat attribute called Type with which you can specify the type of bullet you want for the list - disc, circle or square.



Let us look at an example:



* Electronics

o DVD Players

o V.C.R.s

o Computers

+ Desktops

+ Laptops

+ Palmtops

o Portable MP3 players

o T.V.s

* Automobiles

o Cars

o Buses

o Motorcycles

o Scooters

* Furniture

o Beds

o Tables

o Chairs



The HTML code for the above is:





<UL TYPE="disc"><br /><br /><LI>Electronics</LI><br /><br /> <UL TYPE="square"><br /><br /> <LI>DVD Players</LI><br /><br /> <LI>V.C.R.s</LI><br /><br /> <LI>Computers</LI><br /><br /> <UL TYPE="circle"><br /><br /> <LI>Desktops</LI><br /><br /> <LI>Laptops</LI><br /><br /> <LI>Palmtops</LI><br /><br /> </UL><br /><br /> <LI>Portable MP3 players</LI><br /><br /> <LI>T.V.s</LI><br /><br /> </UL><br /><br /><LI>Automobiles</LI><br /><br /> <UL Type="square"><br /><br /> <LI>Cars</LI><br /><br /> <LI>Buses</LI><br /><br /> <LI>Motorcycles</LI><br /><br /> <LI>Scooters</LI><br /><br /> </UL><br /><br /><LI>Furniture</LI><br /><br /> <UL TYPE="square"><br /><br /> <LI>Beds</LI><br /><br /> <LI>Tables</LI><br /><br /> <LI>Chairs</LI><br /><br /> </UL><br /><br /></UL>





Note how the hierarchical structure is displayed using nested Unordered Lists
tag. We have also used the TYPE attribute and specified the kind of bullet we want for each list.

Submiting a web site to search engines for free

The first step in web promotion is to create a web site that is search engine friendly. The keywords should be used judiciously in the META tag, the TITLE tag, the heading tags and most importantly in the web page content. Anyone can spam a search engine hoping they would get a good site rank by putting keywords excessively in the TITLE and META tags, but search engines have become very smart. They not only look whether the web contents contain that keyword (at a particular word frequency) but also whether the sentences are grammatically correct. Thus, before you use one of the free search engine services below, you should first check your site thoroughly.

Addme
www.addme.com

AddPro
www.addpro.com

FreeWebSubmission
www.freewebsubmission.com

SubmitExpress
www.submitexpress.com

I cannot stress on this point more but you should strive to have good web site content... content which is meaningful to the visitor and makes their visit successful.

The free web site submission services are not perfect and you should also manually submit your web site to the Major Search Engines and Directories. In fact, you need to submit to directories only manually. I know its a long and tedious process of submitting your web site to tons of search engines and directories and if you do get a nice deal from a service provider, go ahead. Just remember to ask them a copy of the submission results and be sure to test your site on each of the engines they submitted to after about a month or so.

Report: United 1 Lyon 0

United may not have been at their flamboyant best, nor even their most devastatingly ruthless, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal three minutes from half time was enough to see the Reds through to the Champions League quarter finals.


Ronaldo's 30th of the season gave the Reds a tenth straight Champions League win at Old Trafford. Lyon, solid and tactically tight but, to their detriment, unadventurous, set the tone for this game. But United broke the mould – if only once – in a game of few chances.

It’s always difficult to second-guess Sir Alex’s team selection, especially with the multitude of options available to him. But the Reds boss still managed to spring a surprise by picking a side that did not contain three of his most experienced outfield players. Paul Scholes and Owen Hargreaves both took up places on the bench, while a calf injury ruled Ryan Giggs out.

At the start of the season, it might have been difficult to picture a midfield trio of Darren Fletcher, Michael Carrick and Anderson playing in such a critical last 16 second leg tie. But, that in itself is a signal of how strong United’s squad is.

Crucially, no player in Sir Alex’s front six had played the full 90 minutes against Fulham on Saturday. It’s a freshness that the United boss has sought in recent weeks. The Reds started brightly enough in the opening minutes. With Sir Alex opting again for a 4-5-1 formation, Ronaldo and Nani pressed forward, Rooney worked tirelessly, while Anderson pushed ahead of Fletcher and Carrick.

Karim Benzema again looked dangerous whengiven space, and Juninho had a few early free-kicks to test United’s rearguard. But the Reds, marshalled by Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand, looked solid. More and more the game was played out tactically; Lyon content not to concede, looking for a breakaway; United probing for a way through but not going full pelt with a valuable away goal in their armoury. It was less the clichéd chess match, more who blinked first.

Fortunately for United, it was Lyon. The French side failed to clear Anderson’s shot on 42 minutes, and Ronaldo’s delicate touches eight yards out drew him clear of Francois Clerc, and his shot sneaked inside Gregory Coupet’s near post.

Lyon’s game-plan changed very little in the second half, keeping it tight and hoping to snatch a goal on the counter. United chose a similar tactic, hoping to draw Lyon out. After 65 minutes Nani had a shot that arrowed narrowly over, but other than that United were quiet in front of goal until the final 15 minutes. The introduction of Carlos Tevez, United's scorer in the first leg, in place of Anderson may have seemed a bold attacking move. But he was instructed to drop deep and keep possession, providing an outlet on the break.

United, though in control, were not home and dry. Substitute Kader Keita found space in the Reds’ penalty area and struck the post on 74 minutes. But it was a rare breakthrough. The Reds weren’t without chances to put the game out of reach. Rooney latched onto Hatem Ben Arfa’s mystifying back-pass, but he couldn’t beat Coupet. Then Nani burst down the right channel and elected to cross the ball when he should have shot.

With ten minutes remaining, Lyon boss Alain Perrin brought on Fred and went to a more attacking 4-4-2 formation, but in the end their own negativity had worked against them and time ran out. For United this may not have been a resounding victory, but against well-organised and tactically stubborn opponents, it was a professional job well done.

Creating new domain names (for personal use)

Did you know that you can easily create your own domain names for your personal use on your computer? The method we're going to describe could come in handy many ways:

* You can map your current home page domain name (at your internet service provider's server) to use your own domain name such as MyCompanyName.com; for fun, or to help you test your HTML pages with your own domain name.
* On a local network (or an intranet) you can use your own domain names to access local and remote resources (web servers, etc.)
* You can create shorter and easier to remember domain names (or aliases) for already existing domain names.
* If your DNS server is slow, you can speedup the access to certain domain names a bit.

Here's how to...

* Locate or create a file named HOSTS
If you're using Windows 95, this file should be in the Windows directory ("C:\WINDOWS" for example).
If you're using Windows NT, HOSTS file should be in the "%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc" directory ("C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc" for example).
* Use your favorite text editor (Notepad for example) to add entries to the HOSTS file. All entries to the HOSTS file should be in the following format:



For example, let's say you want to create a domain name [alias] for a known domain name -- "www.chamisplace.com" for example. First, find out the IP address of the "known" (or already existing domain name) by typing the following command at the "DOS or Command Prompt:"

PING

or according to our example:

PING www.chamisplace.com

Record the IP address for that domain -- 206.105.42.1 for example.

Now, decide what your new domain name for www.chamisplace.com should be -- let's say you want to call it "tipssite.com" (something easier to remember).

All you have to do to map tipssite.com to www.chamisplace.com is to add the following line to your HOSTS file:

206.105.42.1 tipssite.com

Now you can access www.chamisplace.com by using tipssite.com instead -- http://tipssite.com/ for example.
