Norton, 2015); A Swarm, A Flock, A Host: A Compendium of Creatures (Prestel, 2013); Fire to Fire: New and Selected Poems (HarperCollins, 2008), which received the National Book Award; School of the Arts (HarperCollins, 2005); Source (HarperCollins, 2002); and Sweet Machine (HarperCollins, 1998).
Other collections include Atlantis (HarperCollins, 1995), which received the Ambassador Book Award, the Bingham Poetry Prize, and a Lambda Literary Award; My Alexandria (University of Illinois Press, 1993), chosen by Philip Levine for the National Poetry Series, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and Britain's T.

Police: Three cars burglarized
YREKA – Three locked vehicles were entered by force and burglarized on Tuesday night, said Yreka Police Department (YPD) Chief Brian Bowles. No arrests have been made and the burglaries are under investigation.
Early Wednesday morning, YPD officers responded to one vehicle burglary at Yreka's Siskiyou Humane Society Thrift Store on N. Broadway Street. The non-profit organization's van had been entered by force and the perpetrator rummaged through the vehicle. However, the vehicle owner was unable to determine whether any items had been stolen, said Bowles.
In addition, officers responded to the Holiday Inn Express on Montague Road where the windows of a Dodge four-door sedan and a Ford Escape had been broken.
A briefcase containing miscellaneous items was reported stolen from one of the vehicles. The owner of the other vehicle left the premises prior to the officer's arrival, so Bowles said YPD is still attempting to contact that vehicle owner to complete the report.
Bowles stated that YPD has determined the vehicle burglaries at the Holiday Inn Express occurred at approximately 3:46 a.m. on Wednesday. The YPD is viewing parking lot surveillance footage for investigative leads.
"As we approach the holiday season, I would like to urge citizens to avoid leaving valuable items in plain view in their vehicles and to always lock their doors," stated Bowles.
If anyone has any information about these burglaries, they are urged to contact Officer Daugherty at 841-2300.

TUCSON, Ariz.—The pain was palpable, measured in silent stares in the courtroom between an emotionless murderer and wounded former congresswoman who looked her attempted killer in the eyes for the first time since he shot her in the head.
Gabrielle Giffords limped to the podium Thursday, her astronaut husband by her side, inside a packed Tucson courtroom before a judge ordered Jared Lee Loughner to spend the rest of his life in prison.
It was the first time since the January 2011 shooting rampage that his victims would get a chance to speak their minds directly to him. Loughner sat silent, but appeared to absorb every word, his blank gaze fixed on each victim as they scolded him, told stories of their pain and loss and recounted those horrific moments when gunfire changed their lives forever.
"You killed six innocent people," said Giffords' husband, Mark Kelly. "Her life has been forever changed. Plans she had for our family and her career have been immeasurably altered. … Every day is a continuous struggle to do those things she once was so good at."
Giffords, wearing a black brace around her torso, looked closely at the 24-year-old Loughner for several minutes without uttering a word.
Loughner looked on, appearing to listen, but showing no emotion. His mother sobbed nearby.
He was then ordered to serve seven consecutive life sentences, plus 140 years in federal prison for the shootings that killed six people and wounded 13 as Giffords met with constituents in a Tucson shopping plaza. Giffords was left partially blind with a paralyzed right arm and brain injury.
Loughner's guilty plea enables him to avoid a federal death sentence, and state prosecutors said they would not file separate charges, largely to spare the victims continued pain, and given that Loughner will never see freedom again.
The sentence marked the end of a nearly two-year-long saga in which Loughner, who has schizophrenia, was forcibly medicated at a Missouri prison medical facility so he could be competent to understand the charges against him. U.S. District Judge Larry Burns recommended Thursday that he remain there indefinitely, and continue to be medicated, but it's up to federal prison officials where he will ultimately be incarcerated.
Some victims, including Giffords, welcomed the plea deal as a way to move on. It spared victims and their families from having to go through a potentially lengthy and traumatic trial.
At the hearing, Loughner looked nothing like the smiling bald man with a bruise around his eye seen in the mug shot taken after the shooting. He had closely cropped brown hair and was wearing dress pants, shirt and tie.
One by one, his victims approached the podium, then turned toward Loughner who sat at a table with his defense attorneys.
Loughner declined to speak on his own behalf.
Mavy Stoddard, who was shot three times and cradled her dying husband, 76-year-old Dorwin Stoddard, in her arms as he lay bleeding after shielding her from gunfire, was among those who spoke.
"You took away my life, my love and my reason for living," Stoddard said.
"I am so lonesome, hate living without him," she added, her voice cracking. Staring down at Loughner, she said, "We will never let you win. You will not take our spirit."
Susan Hileman, who was shot three times while trying to save her 9-year-old neighbor, shook as she spoke.
"We've been told about your demons, about the illness that skewed your thinking," she said. "Your parents, your schools, your community, they all failed you. It's all true. It's not enough."
"You pointed a weapon and shot me three times," she added.
Before the attack, officials at Pima Community College had suspended Loughner over safety concerns after his classroom disruptions. They told him that if he wanted to return, he would have to get a mental health clearance. Loughner dropped out.
The court-appointed psychologist who treated him had warned that although Loughner was competent to plead guilty, he remained severely mentally ill and his condition could deteriorate under the stress of a trial.
Legal experts had predicted that the only viable defense for Loughner was insanity, but his attorneys never mounted it.
Given Loughner's planning for the attack, the fact that he had researched Giffords and famous assassins prior to the shooting, purchased a gun, a high-capacity pistol magazine and ear plugs, then laid in wait for the congresswoman, Judge Burns noted such a defense "would not have washed."
Rep. Ron Barber, a former Giffords staffer who won election to her seat when she stepped down, also stared down Loughner from the podium, at times almost scolding the confessed shooter.
"I am very angry and am sick of heart about what you have done and the hurt you have caused to all of us," said Barber, who was shot in the cheek and thigh as he stood with Giffords on the day of the rampage. "And now you must pay the price. You must pay the price for the terror, injuries and deaths you caused."
Prosecutor Wallace Kleindienst spoke for those who couldn't speak for themselves.
He told the story of 79-year-old Phyllis Schneck. She and her husband bought a winter condo in Tucson and loved the area. He died in in 2007, but she kept coming back, and while she wasn't registered to vote in Arizona, she wanted to meet the congresswoman.
"She drove to the Safeway alone, and she died alone on that concrete walkway," Kleindienst said. "Her family never got the chance to tell her they loved her one last time."
While the day was about resolution for all the victims, it was Giffords whom all eyes were upon. She and her husband sat several rows behind the prosecutors' table, across the room from Loughner.
Kelly put his arm around her. She leaned into him. He helped her to the podium as she shuffled through the courtroom.
"Mr. Loughner," Kelly said, "you may have put a bullet through her head, but you haven't put a dent in her spirit and her commitment to make the world a better place."
Kelly then gingerly kissed his wife. He grabbed her hand, and the two walked silently back to their seats.
Kelly told NBC's "Today" show on Friday that he felt like Loughner was definitely listening to what he had to say, and "wasn't really happy at points."
"I almost felt like he and Gabby were having quite the staring contest," he said.

Sandy Highlights Bank's Disaster Plans
Those of us who live in the northeastern U.S. face a long and arduous slog recovering from Hurricane Sandy.
Sandy has had an extreme impact on many different areas of the economy, and financial services was among them. The New York Stock Exchange closed for consecutive days due to weather for the first time since 1888. And banks were also ready with plans to communicate with customers and aid in the recovery process.
TD Bank announced it would offer quick lines of credit for customers who are in financial need as a result of the storm. Bank of America also said it is launching a customer-assistance program for its customers who were caught up in the storm's wreckage. Many other banks also announced similar initiatives, as well as things like waiving certain fees for customers for the duration of the storm and its aftermath.
Communication about where branches and ATMs were available was also critical, and for that banks leaned heavily on one of their newer communication channels: social media. Many banks turned to social media to update their customers on branch closings and reopening, as well as alternative means to access their banking services.
Certainly, the road to recovery is not over. In Manhattan, where the offices of Bank Systems & Technology is located, much below 34th Street is without power and transit. And banks, like many other facts of the private and public sector, will continue to recover as well.
Bryan Yurcan is associate editor for Bank Systems and Technology. He has worked in various editorial capacities for newspapers and magazines for the past 8 years. After beginning his career as a municipal and courts reporter for daily newspapers in upstate New York, Bryan has ... View Full Bio

Charlie Sheen is in hot water after he was videotaped using a homophobic slur at an event Friday in Mexico.
In a video obtained by TMZ and filmed at the opening of his new bar at the El Ganzo hotel in Cabo San Lucas, the Anger Management star is heard shouting profanities during his introduction. "How we doing? Lying bunch of f----- a--holes, how we doing?"

The event included performances by Slash as well as guests such as Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Sheen, 47, later explained to TMZ about the incident that he meant to say "maggot" but "I have a lisp." He added: "I meant no ill will and intended to hurt no one and I apologize if I offended anyone."

Those of us who live on the bleeding edge of technology are not normal. I've been using Windows 8, for example, on a daily basis, and while there are still bits of it that aggravate me, I've become more or less acclimated to its idiosyncrasies. But in less than a month, the general public will start having its first brush with Windows 8, and average PC users will suddenly encounter a strange new world that, based on my experience today, will drive them to the edge of frustration.
My wife was home sick today with bronchitis, and wanted to get some work done. But her laptop wasn't working (my daughter had mislaid the powerbrick), so she turned to me for tech support. I gave her a notebook I had loaded with the Windows 8 RTM and Office 2013 Home preview. I showed her a few basic things, and then went back to work.
That's right—I gave my sick wife a brand new operating system and an updated Office suite to use with 5 minutes of training. I'm surprised she didn't call a divorce lawyer.
I wasn't handing Windows 8 to a tech novice. My wife is the textbook definition of an information worker, and she spends a good deal of time helping out both colleagues and customers with tech issues. But the Start screen and settings were Chinese finger traps to her, and the navigation between "Desktop" and Metro was maddening.
And while she kept mostly to the safe path within Word 2013, she found it just different enough to drive her nuts. The same was true of the browser experience. Some Web application editing controls simply didn't function well. The changes in the browser interface were less than intuitive—"How do I change the search engine? How do I bookmark this?," she had to ask. While she eventually managed to get done what she needed to do, I could tell I was going to be paying for the experience for the next week at a minimum. There were several accusations of cruelty.
As my five-minute tutorial became about an hour or so of guided instruction, the degree to which I've sublimated my rage at the new Windows 8 UI became apparent. Perhaps it's because I've watched it evolve from being nightmarish in the first developer preview to merely misery-inducing in the RTM. But it's clear Windows 8 is not safe for public consumption without adequate safety equipment—especially for anyone who ends up supporting its users.
If even a tenth of a percent of new Windows 8 users respond with the level of dismay and distress my wife did, Microsoft and those unlucky enough to be in frontline tech support are going to be at the business end of a volcanic eruption of hate. The reaction will be worst from long-time Windows users, and I'm betting it will cast a shadow on the amount of hate Vista got at launch.
This is why the rollout of Windows 8 to businesses is bound to be slow, if it ever really happens at all. While plenty of applications may work fine, just the shift from Start button to Start Window—and the whole "charms" metaphor on the right side of the screen to navigate—will be enough to cost hours of productivity before people are acclimated to them. Even with some initial user training, desktop support teams unlucky enough to deal with an early Windows 8 rollout will be beating their heads on the helpdesk in short order.
At least corporate users will have a helpdesk, though. But who will those unwitting consumers who find Windows 8 foisted upon them turn to for guidance?
I'm guessing, dear reader, it's you. Perhaps making a tip jar would be wise.

If you thought you could enter 2013 with the confidence that your favorite weirdo fake-vampire supercouple Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson had repaired their freaky union, you were incorrect. Sorry! Apparently they've been arguing throughout their stay in London these last few weeks, a source (Taylor? Is it you, Taylor?? Cowering under a coffee table with your iPhone?) told Life & Style.
"Things with them aren't good. They've been fighting a lot. Rob isn't happy. It's just a matter of time before he ends this. Rob is at a point where he sometimes ignores her. He'll go out and won't respond to her calls or texts right away. Things will be strained for a while. She knows she has to go along with it. She is working hard at the relationship."
The friend adds, however, that the two have a chance when they start filming movies far away from each other: "If they are able to work out being apart while Kristen is filming then they have a shot." Keep in mind that this is still the "trial reconciliation" as instated by R-Patz as he tries to forgive K-Stew for RupertSandersAwkwardBridgeHumpingGate. Seriously, these two are worse than Ross and Rachel. [MTV UK]

Mariah Carey is furious at American Idol execs for courting Nicki Minaj as a possible judge. Apparently she was under the impression that she would be the only woman on the panel, and insiders say that a two-vagina judging panel would certainly throw viewers for a loop, so it's obviously all still in talks. Because it's unclear whether Randy Jackson is resuming his gig as a judge or just mentoring, there's also some speculation about whether we'll see a 2-woman, 2-man 4-person judges table.

On Saturday, Defense Distributed—America's best-known group of 3D gunsmiths—announced on Facebook that its founder, Cody Wilson, is now a federally licensed gun manufacturer and dealer. The group published a picture of the Type 7 federal firearms license (FFL) to prove it.
"The big thing it allows me to do is that it makes me [a manufacturer] under the law—everything that manufacturers are allowed to do," he told Ars. "I can sell some of the pieces that we've been making. I can do firearms transactions and transport."
Wilson and his colleagues have been making prototypes of guns for months now. Most recently, the group demonstrated an AR-15 semi-automatic, which is allowed under American law without a license. The legal difference now is that Wilson can sell and distribute the guns he makes.
Earlier this month Wilson told Ars that he had submitted the application to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (a division of the Department of Justice) back in October 2012. The process can take as little as 60 days, but in this case it took around six months.
Currently, Wilson said he will not actually begin manufacturing and selling guns until he receives an "add-on" to his FFL, known as a Class 2 Special Occupational Taxpayer (SOT), as licensed under federal law (PDF). This would allow him to manufacture and deal a broader range of firearms under the National Firearms Act. The Class 2 SOT would grant Wilson the ability to manufacture, for example, a fully-automatic rifle. Wilson applied for the SOT on Saturday and expects to receive approval within a few weeks.
As a gun dealer, Wilson will also be required to keep records on all the guns he makes and sells. The group already takes in thousands of dollars monthly in donations. But with the SOT, Wilson said the group can begin selling guns to offset some of the group's costs for printers and materials.
"In a way it's like we're just beginning—I'm not going to begin until we have that SOT," he said. "[We're going to] sell some of the stuff we've already made. We'll probably make some stuff to sell and that will be a better way of covering the prototyping."

Kernel Modules in Haskell
September 13, 2009
If you love Haskell and Linux then today is your day – today we reconcile the two and allow you to write Linux Kernel modules in Haskell. By making GHC and the Linux build system meet in the middle we can have modules that are type safe and garbage collected. Using the copy of GHC modified for the House operating system as a base, it turns out to be relatively simple to make the modifications necessary to generate object files for the Kernel environment. Additionally, a new calling convention (regparm3) was added to make it easier to import (and export) functions from the Kernel.
EDIT: I'm getting tired of updating this page with extremely minor changes and having it jump to the top of planet.haskell.org, so for the latest take a look at the haskell wiki entry. It includes discussion of the starting environment – a pretty large omission from the original post.
Starting Environment
You need a Linux x86 (not AMD64) based distribution with GCC 4.4 or higher and recent versions of gnu make and patch along with many other common developer tools usually found in a binutils package (e.g. ar, ld). You also should have the necessary tools to build GHC 6.8.2 – this includes a copy of ghc-6.8.x, alex, and happy.
Building GHC to Make Object files for Linux Modules
Start by downloading the House 0.8.93 [1]. Use the build system to acquire ghc-6.8.2 and apply the House patches. The House patches allow GHC to compile Haskell binaries that will run on bare metal (x86) without an underlying operating system, so this makes a good starting point.
> wget http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~kennyg/house/House-0.8.93.tar.bz2 > tar xjf House-0.8.93.tar.bz2 > cd House-0.8.93 > make boot > make stamp-patch
Now acquire the extra patch which changes the RTS to use the proper Kernel calls, instead of allocating its own memory, and to respect the current interrupt level. This patch also changes the build options to avoid common area blocks for uninitilized data (-fno-common) and use frame pointers (-fno-omit-frame-pointers).
> wget https://projects.cecs.pdx.edu/~dubuisst/hghc.patch > patch -d ghc-6.8.2 -p1 < hghc.patch > make stamp-configure > make stamp-ghc # makes ghc stage 1
Next, build a custom libgmp with the -fno-common flag set. This library is needed for the Integer support in Haskell.
> wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-4.3.1.tar.bz2 > tar xjf gmp-4.3.1.tar.bz2 > cd gmp-4.3.1 > ./configure # edit 'Makefile' and add '-fno-common' to the end of the 'CFLAGS = ' line. > make > cp .libs/libgmp.a $HOUSE_DIR/support
Apply 'support.patch' to alter the build systems of the libtiny_{c,gcc,gmp}.a and build the libraries.
> wget https://projects.cecs.pdx.edu/~dubuisst/support.patch > patch -p0 -d $HOUSE_DIR < support.patch > make -C $HOUSE_DIR/support
Build the cbits object files:
> make -C $HOUSE_DIR/kernel cobjs
In preparation for the final linking, which is done manually, pick a working directory ($WDIR) that will serve to hold the needed libraries. Make some last minute modifications to the archives and copy libHSrts.a, libcbits.a, libtiny_gmp.a, libtiny_c.a, and libtiny_gcc.a
> mkdir $WDIR > ar d support/libtiny_c.a dlmalloc.o # dlmalloc assumes it manages all memory > ar q $WDIR/libcbits.a kernel/cbits/*.o > cp ghc-6.8.2/rts/libHSrts.a support/libtiny_{c,gcc,gmp}.a $WDIR
Build a Kernel Module
First, write the C shim that will be read by the Linux build system. While it might be possible to avoid C entirely its easier to use the build system, and its plethora of macros, than fight it. The basic components of the shim are a license declaration, function prototypes for the imported (Haskell) functions, initialization, and exit functions. All these can be seen in the example hello.c [2].
Notice that many of the standard C functions in the GHC RTS were not changed by our patches. To allow the RTS to perform key actions, such as malloc and free, the hello.c file includes shim functions such as 'malloc' which simply calls 'kmalloc'. Any derivative module you make should include these functions either in the main C file or a supporting one.
Second, write a Haskell module and export the initialization and exit function so the C module may call them. Feel free to import kernel functions, just be sure to use the 'regparm3' key word in place of 'ccall' or 'stdcall'. For example:
foreign import regparm3 unsafe foo :: CString -> IO CInt foreign export regparm3 hello :: IO CInt
Continuing the example started by hello.c, 'hsHello.hs' is online [3].
Now start building the object files. Starting with building hsHello.o, you must execute:
> $HOUSE_DIR/ghc-6.8.2/compiler/stage1/ghc-inplace -B$HOUSE_DIR/ghc-6.8.2 hsHello.hs -c
* note that this step will generate or overwrite any hsHello_stub.c file.
When GHC generates C code for exported functions there is an implicit assumption that the program will be compiled by GHC. As a result the nursery and most the RTS systems are not initialized so the proper function calls must be added to hsHello_stub.c.
Add the funcion call "startupHaskell(0, NULL, NULL);" before rts_lock() in the initializing Haskell function. Similarly, add a call to "hs_exit_nowait()" after rts_unlock().
The stub may now be compiled, producing hsHello_stub.o. This is done below via hghc, which is an alias for our version of ghc with many flags [4].
> hghc hsHello_stub.c -c
The remaining object files, hello.o and module_name.mod.o, can be created by the Linux build system. The necessary make file should contain the following:
obj-m := module.o # Obviously you should name the module as you see fit module-objs := hello.o
And the make command (assuming the kernel source is in /usr/src/kernels/):
> make -C /usr/src/kernels/184.108.40.206-217.2.16.fc11.i586 M=`pwd` modules
This should make "hello.o" and "module.mod.o". Everything can now be linked together with a single ld command.
> ld -r -m elf_i386 -o module.ko hsHello_stub.o hsHello.o module.mod.o hello.o *.a libcbits.a
A successful build should not have any common block variables and the only undefined symbols should be provided by the kernel, meaning you should recognize said functions. As a result, the first command below should not result in output while the second should be minimal.
> nm module.ko | egrep "^ +C " > nm module.ko | egrep "^ +U " U __kmalloc U kfree U krealloc U mcount U printk
Known Issue
The House-GHC 6.8.2 run-time system (RTS) does not clean up the allocated memory on shutdown, so adding and removing kernel modules results in large memory leaks which can eventually crash the system. This should be relatively easy to fix, but little investigation was done.
A good estimate of the memory leak is the number of megabytes in the heap (probably 1MB, unless your module needs lots of memory) plus 14 bytes of randomly leaked memory from two unidentified (6 and 8 byte) allocations.

I've just submitted this as a slashdot story. Because something so beautiful needs to be shared with as many people as possible. Wow.
October 7, 2009 at 6:58 pm
This is fascinating in two ways. Improved assurance of correctness is good in itself, but more immediately applicable is the possibility of reducing the development time of specialist hardware drivers by converting the build/test/boot cycle to a fight with the Haskell type system at compile time. In such cases, with few running instances in controlled conditions, the angst over e.g. GC in the kernel will be much less relevant.
So I've been trying to build a module. I have a couple of small bits of advice to add to the recipe you have given, and a couple of outstanding problems.
To set up on Ubuntu 9.04 (probably the most common config at the moment):
1) Using Synaptic package manager:
Search for "kernel", select "linux-headers-2.6.28-15-generic"
Search for "autoreconf", select "autoconf2.13"
Search for "ghc", select "ghc6"
Search for "alex", select "alex"
Search for "happy", select "happy"
Always accept any dependencies suggested, and apply the changes
Close the package manager when you are done so that aptitude can work in the next step.
2) Obtain gcc 4.4.1. How to do this easily is given at:
The incantation is (all one line):
echo "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic main restricted" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install gcc
The command in your recipe that requires the kernel sources is then:
make -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.28-15-generic M=`pwd` modules
The recipe you have given will then complete to building module.ko, but the module has some problems which prevent it from loading.
The command:
> nm module.ko | egrep "^ +U "
shows many unresolved dependencies:
> nm module.ko | egrep "^ +U "
U __fprintf_chk
U __kmalloc
U __sprintf_chk
U __stack_chk_fail
U __stginit_base_ForeignziCziString_
U __stginit_base_ForeignziCziTypes_

U base_GHCziWord_W8zh_con_info
U base_GHCziWord_Wzh_con_info
U kfree
U krealloc
U mcount
U printk
Most of these may be resolved by copying another library from the ghc build and rerunning the link:
> cp $HOUSE_DIR/ghc-6.8.2/libraries/base/dist/build/libHSbase-188.8.131.52.a $WDIR
> ld -r -m elf_i386 -o module.ko hsHello_stub.o hsHello.o module.mod.o hello.o *.a libcbits.a
> nm module.ko | egrep "^ +U "
U __fprintf_chk
U __kmalloc
U __sprintf_chk
U __stack_chk_fail
U __vfprintf_chk
U kfree
U krealloc
U mcount
U printk
However, the *chk* symbols remain a problem – they are found in libc (which isn't much help for kernel code) and are not listed in /proc/kallsyms. They are referenced by stuff in the Haskell system the recipe has built. For example, __fprintf_chk is referenced by libHSrts.a and libtiny_gmp.a. For me, this has been a show stopper and any suggestions would be gratefully received!
The other problem concerns the -fno-common flag. When I attempt to load the module (knowing there will be unresolved symbols) the kernel complains:
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276022] module: please compile with -fno-common
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276294] module: Unknown symbol mcount
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276388] module: Unknown symbol __vfprintf_chk
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276412] module: please compile with -fno-common
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276416] module: please compile with -fno-common
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276432] module: please compile with -fno-common

Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276539] module: Unknown symbol __stack_chk_fail
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276542] module: please compile with -fno-common
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276570] module: please compile with -fno-common
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276866] module: Unknown symbol __sprintf_chk
Oct 7 19:52:12 alan-carter-ubuntu kernel: [12554.276960] module: Unknown symbol __fprintf_chk
Lots of complaints about -fno-common. I've tried to solve this by intervening at various points in the recipe, finding all CFLAGS (and in an alternate approach -fomit-frame-pointer) and adding -fno-common, but I still see many lines in the builds with no -fno-commit in them, and the complaints won't go away. I am defeated by the build system(s) and cannot see where the commands are originally coming from. Again, any suggestions gratefully received!
The possibilities for sanitary specialist driver writing are so cool, I'd really like to be able to do this!
October 7, 2009 at 11:38 pm
The undefined *chk* symbols appear in the built .a files in $WDIR as follows:
These symbols are defined in the regular libc.a, which of course we aren't linking.
The common area allocations are in all 7 .a files:
> nm *.a | egrep "^ +C |a:"
It's probably a clue that I don't see a -fno-commit in any of the make outputs, no matter what I do to add it to every line that has a CFLAGS = or -fomit-frame-pointer (which I thought would be a good marker) in the whole $HOUSE_DIR at various stages – redoing from start each time of course. Makes me think it might be some divergent behaviour of the make program itself.
> make –version
GNU Make 3.81
October 8, 2009 at 2:09 am
A further clue: The *chk* symbols come from stdio, controlled by a preprocessor symbol _FORTIFY_SOURCE > 1. I've tried changing the stamp-configure target in $HOUSE_DIR/Makefile to call configure with CFLAGS="-fno-common -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0″ which could have solved both problems at once, but it doesn't have any effect on the gcc commands run by the stamp-ghc target. I'm missing something about how the CFLAGS get assembled and propagated through the $HOUSE_DIR Makefiles.
October 11, 2009 at 5:46 am
I've got the module building OK now – several changes were needed, mainly removing -g and -pg from the patch files, adding an undef to the system includes, extra Makefile changes. All the details, the hacked patch files and a script which contains small changes to the build sequence are at:
October 11, 2009 at 3:45 pm
Nice work on that blog post Alan! Sorry I haven't had time to carry on this conversation properly, but I see you've done a bang-up job. Very cool.
February 17, 2011 at 2:32 am
Hi, I have a same problem with "Unknown symbol mcount" when I do: #insmod x_tables.ko. Please show me how to solve it. Many thanks!

Did 'Papa' John Schnatter really eat 40 pizzas in 30 days? Founder explains viral comment
Unless you haven't been on the Internet for the past two months, you've probably seen a clip of John Schnatter discussing his view on the declining quality of Papa John's pizzas.
The embattled founder and former CEO of the Louisville-based pizza chain said in a sitdown interview with WDRB News in November that he "had over 40 pizzas in the last 30 days" and "it's not the same pizza."
Meme fanatics had a heyday with Schnatter's comments, as the video of the Jeffersonville native talking about his pizza consumption went viral. But in a podcast released on Monday, Schnatter said he hadn't actually eaten 40 pizzas in 30 days.
Schnatter told Ethan and Hila Klein, the hosts of H3 Podcast, that when he said he "had" the pizzas, he was actually "inspecting" them.
"I'm not eating every pizza," Schnatter said. "I may be eating parts of pizzas."
He went on to say that he eats roughly eight or nine slices of Papa John's pizza per week – a drop from the 12 to 15 he would eat weekly while he worked for the pizza company.
Schnatter also discussed his forced resignation as chairman in July 2018 following a report that he used a racial slur during a conference call, reiterating that his comments were taken out of context and that the company's board of directors potentially conspired to force him out.
Schnatter's 2020 resolution:Eating 50 pizzas in 30 days
Social Security:What Trump's proposed budget could mean for your benefits
In his November interview with WDRB, Schnatter said "the day of reckoning will come." Shortly thereafter, on Dec. 5, he filed a lawsuit against the creative advertising firm, Laundry Service, and its parent company for breach of contract, alleging that they leaked comments from the tape-recorded call in which he used a racial slur.
On Monday, Schnatter clarified that the "day of reckoning" is to "get to the truth" through the lawsuit.
After having a busy last few weeks of 2019, between the interview, the lawsuit and the divorce with his wife of 32 years, Schnatter really ended the year with a bang: pledging to have 50 pizzas in 30 days in 2020.

Interview: 'World War Z' star Mireille Enos talks film's video release
It's been a few days of highs and lows for gifted actress Mireille Enos: Highs like knowing her hit summer blockbuster "World War Z" is heading to home video for the masses to see; and lows like the cancellation of her critically-acclaimed AMC series "The Killing."
But, as Enos continues to prove in the professional sense, she's a survivor.
After all, "The Killing" was brought back for a third season despite being canceled after the second -- who's to say it can't happen again? And of course, in "World War Z," her character is trying to survive a rapidly growing zombie population.
In a recent interview, Enos told me while she's sad "The Killing" is over -- for now ("Never say never," she said) -- she's thrilled the show gave life to a slate of new opportunities.
"Just getting to do the work on 'The Killing' put me more in the spotlight for more people to see," Enos said of her role of Detective Sarah Linden, which earned her a Best Actress Emmy nomination in 2011. "Because of that, (director) Marc Forster sent me the script and the rest is history."
New on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download Tuesday (Paramount Home Media Distribution), "World War Z" tracks a race against time to find a cure for a zombie pandemic that is quickly consuming the world. Brad Pitt stars as Gerry Lane, a United Nations investigator who hops the globe worldwide in a desperate attempt to find "patient zero" in the outbreak, which the UN hopes leads to a cure.
Enos stars as Gerry's wife, Karin, who along with their two daughters, find safety with the military at sea until an unfortunate turn of events force them off the vessel and on to an island while Gerry struggles to survive during his investigation.
See the trailer for "World War Z" below.
"World War Z" is a triumph for the cast and crew, not only for the fact it's an intense thriller that captivated audiences over the summer; but because critics and industry types were champing at the bit to declare the zombie film dead on arrival long before it opened in theaters.
Of course, there was good reason to believe the lowest of low expectations by the pundits: the film was widely reported as plagued by budget problems, production snafus and reshoots.
Enos is just glad that the final product proved the naysayers wrong, and despite its troubles, the filmmakers didn't leave their zombie opus for, well, dead.
"The thing is, everybody connected to the project loved it so much that they weren't going to release it until it was ready," Enos said. "But the press around it was so weird, mean-spirited and angry. I was just so delighted that when it came out and just swept everything away."
Enos said she got the sense everything was going to be alright when she received an encouraging note from a very reliable source.
"Right before it was released, before I had seen the final cut, Brad sent me an email that said, 'The final version is done and it's going to be a killer,'" Enos recalled. "And it was."
While the ultra-intense opening 20 minutes of the film are what got critics and film fans buzzing the most over the summer, Enos said the main title sequence -- which effectively shows real-life scenes of a world spinning out of control -- is a thrilling harbinger of things to come in the film. The zombie pandemic after that, she added, is a perfect metaphor of what could happen after.
"I think zombies are the current analogy for our fears of what's actually going on in the planet," Enos observed. "Because zombies aren't real, it's a safe place to put those fears. A movie like 'World War Z' gives us a chance to work out our feelings of what's going on in the world. What I loved most about the script was that it kept bringing us back to that -- to the humanity and reality of how we do or don't help each other in a crisis."
Based on the best-selling novel by Max Brooks, Enos said the film is rare in that it can work on different levels with audiences.
"Zombie geeks can go and watch all the really awesome effects, and then there's this really interesting human story that's going on at the same time," Enos explained.
As for the fulfilling the expectations of fans of the Brooks' novel, Enos said she felt little pressure because of the story and screenplay were so dramatically different.
"I read the book and thought it was a wonderful narrative, but it's not filmic," Enos said. "It's a piece of literature, and so I knew that our movie would be very different. I just kept the script and the book separate in my mind and just tell the story we were trying to tell. The writers took care of trying to connect it to the book. There are images from the book that we find in the film, but ultimately we had to go our own way."
In some cases, the zombie actors were so frightening that Enos didn't even worry about the performing, she just did what came naturally.
"There were scenes in the stairwell of an apartment building where there really were these big, scary athletic guys in zombie make-up chasing us up the stairs," Enos said with a laugh. "I could hear their footfalls and it was actually really terrifying. It took care of a lot of the acting for me."

wmii (window manager improved 2) is a dynamic window manager for X11. It supports classic and dynamic window management with extended keyboard, mouse, and filesystem based remote control. It replaces the workspace paradigm with a new tagging approach.
The following tips are intended to help the user get started with wmii. While wmii can be configured in almost any language, this article will focus on using the wmiirc configuration file, which is simply a shell script. Please see the ruby-wmii article to see how to configure wmii in ruby.
- 1 Installation
- 2 Configuration
- 3 Usage
- 4 WMII filesystem
- 5 Other nice stuff
- 6 Other Resources
- 7 Acknowledgement
1 Installation
wmii is available from the extra repository. You can install it by issuing the following command:
pacman -S wmii
Next you will need to edit your ~/.xinitrc to enable you to start wmii with startx:
exec wmii
To allow for starting wmii without logging off or killing the X session, add the following in the ~/.xinitrc
until wmii; do true done
Upon your first login, you will be greeted with the wmii welcome message, which also includes a short tutorial on wmii. Completing this tutorial will give you a good idea on how wmii works.
2 Configuration
The easiest way to start configuring wmii, is to copy the default wmiirc file to your home directory and changing it to your needs. For version 3.9,
mkdir ~/.wmii cp /etc/wmii/wmiirc ~/.wmii/
Or just create ~/.wmii/wmiirc_local if you want only basic customization such as fonts, colors etc.
For earlier versions,
mkdir ~/.wmii/wmii-$VERSION cp /etc/wmii/wmiirc ~/.wmii/wmii-$VERSION/
By editing this file, you can change things such as color, background, modkey, etc. Keep in mind that wmiirc uses tabbed indentation in case your editor of choice is configured to only produce spaces. Mixing the two indenting styles may cause unexpected behavior.
2.1 Configuration Variables
# Configuration Variables MODKEY=Mod1 UP=k DOWN=j LEFT=h RIGHT=l
Change Mod1 to Mod4 if you want to use Windows key instead of Alt. You can also change h, j, k, l, if you like.
2.2 Window Colors
# Colors tuples: "<text> <background> <border>" WMII_NORMCOLORS='#ffffff #000000 #ffffff' WMII_FOCUSCOLORS='#ffffff #5c0000 #ffffff'
WMII_BACKGROUND='#333333' WMII_FONT='fixed'
Colors of unselected window are in NORMCOLORS variable. Colors of selected window are in FOCUSCOLOR variable. You can change the background color (if you use transparent terminal) with the WMII_BACKGROUND variable.
3 Usage
If you are not familiar with tiling WMs, it's not really easy to begin with it. You must learn a few basic hotkeys to launch programs and place or resize windows. It is a good idea to write the basic hotkeys on paper and stick these on your monitor until you memorize them. By default, the "Mod" key is Alt. Some default hotkeys are :
* Mod+Enter -> Terminal * Mod+p -> wimenu : a menu appears, just type the beginning of the name of the application to open it. * Mod+d -> default layout : windows are divided on screen * Mod+s -> stacked layout : the selected window take all the screen, we just see the title bar of the others. * Mod+j -> select the window below * Mod+k -> select the window above * Shift+Mod+j -> move the window down * Shift+Mod+k -> move the window up * Mod+a -> Actions menu : choose "quit" to quit
N.B. For commonly used programs you can make use of history.progs, Mod+p and up/down arrow keys to select previous entries.
By default, only one column is used by the desktop (i.e. the entire screen). It's possible to use several columns with h and l :
* Mod+Shift+h : move the selected window left * Mod+Shift+l : move the selected window right * Mod+h : select the column on the left * Mod+l : select the column on the right
Columns are created automatically, with your placements of the windows. You can make them bigger or smaller, clicking beetween two columns.
3.1 Layouts
You begin in "default" layout : all windows take the same space. You can make them bigger or smaller by clicking in the little square in the title bar of a window.
* "stacked" layout (Mod+s) : the selected window takes the entire column, but you can see the title bar of other windows. * "maximum" layout (Mod+m) : the selected window takes the entire column, you do not see other windows. * "fullscreen" layout (Mod+f) : the selected window takes runs in full screen.
If you tend to use multiple clients in stacked view then binding the following allows you to remove all the title bars apart from the one you are viewing, regaining screen estate. Each client will be numbered in the top right with 1/3, 2/3 etc. Mod + s or Mod + d will return the view to standard layouts.
* fn Key-$MODKEY-x {wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl colmode sel +max} # rc.wmii.local version * Key $MODKEY-x wmiir xwrite /tag/sel/ctl colmode sel +max # wmiirc version
3.1.1 Floating layout
You can place your windows like a classic window manager. It's called floating layout. It's useful for some applications, like the Gimp, mplayer, vlc etc.
* Mod+Shift+Space : Move selected window in floating layout. * Mod+Space : switch between floating layout and normal layout.
In the floating layout, we can select a window with Mod+j and Mod+k. We can change dimensions of the window, by dragging, like in any other window manager. But we can use hotkeys for that as well :
* Mod+Left click : move window * Mod+Right click : change dimensions of the window (you can use it in other layouts too)
3.2 Views and Tagging
Tagging in wmii is very similar to the concept of virtual desktops in other window managers. However, tagging is slightly more powerful because it makes it very easy to group windows in multiple ways concurrently. This is made possible by the fact that WMII easily allows each window to have multiple tags. This allows you to group applications for specific use cases and easily switch between them without having to tear down your previous environment by sending applications to another "Desktop".
By default, when you first start up wmii you will see the word 'nil' in the lower left corner. You are at the 'nil' view. The first application you start (such as a terminal: Mod+Enter) will automatically be tagged with a "1" and you will be automatically switched to view "1". Views can be navigated or changed with built in keybindings:
* Mod+Shift+2 : tag selected window to view "2" * Mod+2 : this switches you to view "2" where you can see all windows tagged with "2"
It's the same thing for all numbers, from 0 to 9. But you can also use names :
* Mod+t : views menu : you can select a tag with right and left keys, or type the name of the tag (or just a part of the name, if it was created). * Mod+Shift+t : this retags the currently selected window with whatever you type into the menu. * N.B If using plan9port a history.tags file is generated in .wmii-*/. You can use up/down arrow keys to recall previous entries for simple re-tagging/window viewing.
You can tag windows with multiple views by using a '+' between the tag names :
* Mod+Shift+t foo+bar+2 : this tags the currently selected window to the views "foo", "bar" and "2".
You can remove a single tag from multi-tagged windows by selecting the one you wish to remove and using Mod+Shift+t, -tag name/number ie Urxvt is multi-tagged on views 1 2 3 and 4, if you jumped to 3 and typed exit, all instances of urxvt will be terminated, using Mod+Shift+t, -3 will only remove that single view.
Tags can be set for specific applications in the wmiirc configuration file.
# Tagging Rules wmiir write /tagrules <<! /Firefox.*/ -> ~+2 /Gimp.*/ -> ~+3 /.*/ -> sel /.*/ -> 1 !
With the above tag rules, firefox starts in floating mode (~) on view "2". Gimp starts in floating mode on view "3".
4 WMII filesystem
WMII's filesystem is based on the 9P protocol. Every element (windows, statusbar, ...) is represented as a file. This makes several cool things possible. For example you can display the song you're currently listening to in the statusbar (for example with MPD and MPC).
You can access the filesystem with the wmiir command. For instance, you can list the root directory with wmiir ls /
client/ colrules ctl event keys lbar/ rbar/ tag/ tagrules
You can use wmiir read to look into files: wmiir read /tag/sel/index
# ~ 1280 785 ~ 0x160000d 731 394 486 332 xterm:XTerm:~ # 1 0 1280 1 0x800003 0 785 opera:Opera:Editing Wmii - Preview - ArchWiki - Opera
So this is the info for the selected (current) tag. As you can see, I've got one floating xterm and Opera running on this tag. The first number in this output indicates the column of the window. ~ is the floating column and 1 ist (obviously) the first column. The second column is the XServer-ID for the client. The next columns are the coordinates and the size of the window. The last column ist the titlebar of the window.
You can create new files with wmiir create:
echo Parabola is best | wmiir create /rbar/parabola
Now you should see "Parabola is best" in your statusbar
"wmiir create" reads from STDIN. So you can pipe any information you like into your statusbar. "wmiir write" works in a similar fashion but doesn't create new files.
You can remove files with rm or remove
If you like to have a program on several tags you can use:
echo "3+5+8" | wmiir write /client/0x800003/tags
Now my Opera window appears on Tags 3,5 and 8.
But there are easier ways to accomplish this ;) Just type MOD+shift+t and enter "3+5+8" and you get the same result for the currently selected client.
5 Other nice stuff
5.1 Laptop Status Bar
If you are using wmii on a laptop, it may be convenient to display items such as wireless quality, remaining battery time, and load averages in the status bar; the script below requires you to install acpi and gawk:
pacman -S acpi gawk
# Status Bar Info status() { echo -n ' Wlan0:' $(iwconfig wlan0 | awk '/Quality/{print $2}' | sed 's/.*=//' | awk -F"/" '{printf("%.0f%%", $1/$2*100)}') '| Bat:' $(acpi -b | sed -n 's/.*\([0-9][0-9]:[0-9][0-9]\):[0-9][0-9].*/\1/p') '|' $(uptime | sed 's/.*: //; s/,//g') '|' $(date '+%c') }
By default the status bar only shows date and an uptime pager (displays system load average for the last 1, 5, 15 minutes).
5.2 Conky Replacement Status Bar
Similar to the above status() function any user can essentially replace the functions of the conky system monitor by using the wmii status bar. Below is an example of such to show CPU and GPU temperatures, CPU speeds, /home and / partition sizes, RAM used, system load averages and date/time:
# Status Bar Info status() { echo -n 'CPUTemp:' `expr $(sensors | grep temp1 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -c2-3) + 15` '|' 'GPUTemp:' $(nvidia-settings -q=GPUCoreTemp | grep eagle | awk '{print $4}' | cut -c1-2 ) '|' 'CPUMHz:' $(cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz | awk '{printf "%.0f\n", $4}') '|' '/home:' $(df -h | grep sda5 | awk '{print $3}') '|' '/:' $(df -h | grep sda1 | awk '{print $3}') '|' 'RAM:' $(free -m | grep -i /cache | awk '{print $3}') 'MB |' $(uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g') '|' $(date +"%a %b %d %H:%M") }
By judicious use of the info available from common GNU/Linux system commands, the /proc filesystem and GNU tools such as grep, awk, sed and cut you can create a highly informational wmii status bar. Note that the above is specific to the author's computer and will have to be edited to suit.
5.3 Terminal Title
If you would like to display the current directory in your terminal emulator's titlebar, add this to your .bashrc
WMII_IS_RUNNING=`ps a | grep wmii | awk '/[^"grep"] wmii$/'` if [ -n "$WMII_IS_RUNNING" ]; then PROMPT_COMMAND='dirs | wmiir write /client/sel/label' fi
With this you can shorten you shell prompt and have more horizontal space to type. This test prevents you from getting a "WMII_ADRESS not set" error when you spawn a console.
5.4 Weechat Highlight Notification
If you use weechat and want to know when you have been messaged without always having to look at the weechat window, you can use the launcher.pl plugin to send a notice to the bar. To get this working, you will need to create a script that sends your desired notice. Here is very simple example:
#!/bin/bash echo :: NEW MESSAGE :: | wmiir create /lbar/alert sleep 8 wmiir remove /lbar/alert
Then start weechat and load the plugin.
/perl load launcher.pl
Then type the following command into weechat:
/set plugins.var.perl.launcher.signal.weechat_pv = "/path/to/yourscript"
Now, :: NEW MESSAGE :: will appear in the left corner of your bar whenever you have a message highlight. Make sure to place launcher.pl the perl/autoload directory so that it starts when weechat starts.
5.5 Mod4 on an old Thinkpad
Although Wmii defaults to Mod1, using Mod4 reduces conflicts in keybindings with many terminal applications. There is a snag for old Thinkpad users, however. They do not have a Mod4 key. To get one, another key has to be assigned to it using xmodmap. To do it, make an .Xmodmap file in your home directory and add this to it:
keycode 64 = Super_L add Mod4 = Super_L remove Mod1 = Super_L
You will need to replace 64 with whatever xev tells you is the keycode of the key you want to replace. In the above example, I replace left Alt (and use right alt for applications).
5.6 Nice fonts
Wmii now supports Xft, just prefix font name with 'xft'. For instance:
export WMII_FONT='xft:Sans-9'
5.7 Note: Version 3.9.2-1
If you upgrade from wmii v3.6-4 to v3.9.2-1 you will have to insert any changes you made to your old ~/.wmii-3.5/wmiirc configuration file into the newer config file located at ~/.wmii/wmiirc_local. Note also that there are some slight format and variable name changes between the newer and older versions of /etc/wmii/wmiirc.
This latest version has some significant enhancements such as easier window dimension changes with the mouse and better handling of small floating windows launched from tiled applications (especially LibreOffice).

To the folks who have been screaming AHHHH YOU GAINED WEIGHT, WHAT ARE YOU, FATNESS EVERDEEN, Lady Gaga continues to level a resounding "Fuck yourself." Although the rumor out of Universal is that they had to order new, larger costumes for her, she told radio host Elvis Duran that she "doesn't feel bad about it. Not even for a second." She also hopped on Twitter to post a photo of Marilyn Monroe captioned: "To all the girls that think you're ugly because you're not a size 0, you're the beautiful one. It's society who's ugly," and went on to thank her fans for their support. She even had a sartorial retort to the scrutiny, which was a crazy blob dress that looked like what would happen if Patrick from Spongebob SquarePants fucked the Michelin Man.
Here's the thing, though: in this video of her arriving at the Sephora Paris perfume launch of her fragrance Fame yesterday, as well as a series of explicitly "unretouched" photos on Terry Richardson's blog that were just posted today, she looks nothing like she did in the original onstage shots that put everyone in a tizzy to begin with. Maybe the Richardson shots are old, or she has hella Spanx, but it is an enduring mystery of our time. Or who cares. Either way. [Radar Online, NYDN]
Sometimes it's hard to figure out whether a friend needs help with substance abuse, but in the future, a great tip-off is when he screams "I'M NOT FUCKING JUSTIN BIEBER, MOTHERFUCKERS," smashes his guitar and throws it offstage. A statement now reports that Billie Joe Armstrong has checked into rehab two days after doing just this at the iHeartRadio festival in Las Vegas. This will likely affect upcoming appearances and the scheduling of a November tour to promote Green Day's new album, Uno.
"I'm not fucking Justin Bieber, motherfuckers," by the way, is totally the kind of shit you'd yell really seriously in the middle of a meltdown but realize how unintentionally hilarious it is later. [NYDN]
During an interview with X-Factor judge and formerly-troubled starlet Demi Lovato, Katie Couric admitted to battling bulimia throughout college and the following two post-grad years, continuing as she began her career in the ABC News Bureau.
She told Lovato, "I know this rigidity, this feeling that if you eat one thing that's wrong, you're full of self-loathing and then you punish yourself... How do you have a healthy relationship with food, and say, 'You know what, I can have one cookie and it's OK?' That is such a huge thing for people who wrestle with this." [Page Six]
The best part of Claire Danes' Emmy acceptance speech for Homeland is the part when she says "Mandy Patinkin, holla." Because it's what we all were thinking.
Arnold Schwarzenegger's tell-all memoir, groan-inducingly titled Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story, is set to drop like a hot deuce of truth October 1st. Here is the only part you might care about.
The minute we sat down, the therapist turned to me and said, "Maria wanted to come here today and to ask about a child - whether you fathered a child with your housekeeper Mildred." I told the therapist, "It's true."
Go figure: his book is as literal as his hilarious DVD commentary for the actual Total Recall. ("Ha-ha. And here I am punching the guy. Ha-ha.")

The dangers are not over when the fire goes out. Your home's foundation may have been weakened, the electrical system may have shorted out, and burning may have left behind things that could make you sick.

Non-salvageable saturated and burned elements need removal from the fire damage scene. Then we completely dry out everything else. Dehumidifiers and other drying apparatuses eliminate moisture that increases all related odors. Each fire damaged surface requires cleaning with specialized cleaners such as de-greasers, soot erasers, and wood restoration disinfectants.
This meticulous cleansing is the key to countering the spread of contaminants and eliminating the unpleasant odors from the smoke damage and makes the fire damage restoration process flawless where it doesn't have to be done a second time.
