Boyzone singer Gately dies in Spain

MADRID (AFP) - – Boyzone singer Stephen Gately, 33, died on Saturday while on holiday in Majorca off the coast of Spain, the Irish band with a string of hits in the 1990s said on its website.

"Stephen tragically died yesterday whilst on holiday with his partner Andrew in Majorca," the site said on Sunday.

The Boyzone members, including lead singer Ronan Keating, were heading to Majorca following news of the death.

The circumstances surrounding Gately's death remained unclear but (Britain's) News of the World newspaper reported he died after a night out.

Boyzone manager Louis Walsh told the newspaper: "We're all absolutely devastated."

He said: "I'm in complete shock. I was only with him on Monday at an awards ceremony. We don't know much about what's happened yet... He was a great man."

Speaking to the newspaper late Saturday, band member Shane Lynch said: "Me and the boys are flying out in the morning.

"We just need to get over to where he's passed and work out what we need to do."

Gately, who married his partner Andrew Cowles in a civil union in 2006, sent ripples through the pop music world 10 years ago when he announced that he was gay.

He joined Boyzone in 1993 after answering an advert in Dublin to audition for Ireland's first boyband.

The band went on to enjoy huge success with six number one singles in Britain, but split up in 2000.

They reunited seven years later, but their recent 19-date Better tour failed to fill stadiums, despite offers of free tickets.

Gately also starred in West End musicals in London, including "Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat".

Boyzone lead singer Keating was "completely distraught", the News of the World said, and former Irish prime minister Bertie Ahern paid tribute to Gately, whom he knew, on the BBC's Andrew Marr show.

He said: "The Gatelys are in my own constituency. I know the family, I know Stephen.

"He (Gately) was with us the other night with his boyfriend Andy, he came to my book launch."

Ahern, whose daughter Georgina is married to Nicky Byrne of boyband Westlife, continued: "It's just such a tragedy.

"Boyzone and Stephen, they've all been part of Irish life and far wider than that, the last 15 years, and so successful, so it's a huge, huge tragedy. It's so sad."

Gately last posted a message on his Twitter page on October 6, writing: "Still busy, lots going on. Focusing on finishing my book next so may be quiet here."

British actor and comedian Stephen Fry said on Twitter that he was shocked at the news.

"Just heard the very sad news about dear Stephen Gately. What a dreadful shock. He was loveable and sweet natured and will be hugely missed."

Togsh Togsh..Give me some love..

Well good day to all haktech fans..
i will be adding more content this week.
so hold on and check us back..

Jai Guru Deva Om

Firstly although the words Guru Diva are the name of Maharishis teacher. Gurus names are often aspects of God almost without exception. This phrase is not so much a homage to Maharishi teacher, its more of praise to God. Remember that Guru also translates as God / Brahma and not just any human teacher. Your thinking of humans, think more broader of the deeper spiritual message. During his immersion in eastern thought his lyrics would have reflected the deeper spiritual sentiment and not just ode to the teachers teacher.
All said here is a better translation.

Jai Guru Deva OM
Victory to God Devine OM

Om cannot easily be translated as a single English word. It is used as the most sacred word in Indian thought. It represents the birth growth and death of the Cosmos. It is also the Vibration / sound of the Cosmos literaly.If you could step outside the Universe and listen to it that is what you would hear. The Yogis hear this in deep meditation. One way of thinking of OM would be Alpha-Omega. From OM all the English words like Omniscience, Omnipresence are derived from. Deva means Divine , this is where the English word divinity comes from. Do you see the Sanskrit roots that have shaped our English words?

So all together it means, "I give thanks (victory) (salutation) to Guru Dev (or heavenly teacher), om".

Running the Tor on Linux

Running TOR on linux Intruction.

When you want to run TOR on linux. you will need to download
the latest TOR for linux. located in this page. http://www.torproject.org/download-unix.html.en

Select the right packages for youe linux system. form Debian, red hat
, bentoo, bsd and other linux flavors. for ubunto users, it is advise that you
use this link http://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu
for your ubuntu linux.

If you're building from source, first install libevent can be found here
http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/ and make sure you have openssl and zlib (including the -devel packages if applicable).

Then run:
tar xzf tor-0.2.1.19.tar.gz; cd tor-0.2.1.19
./configure && make
Now you can run tor as src/or/tor, or you can run make install (as root if necessary) to install it into /usr/local/, and then you can start it just by running tor.

Tor comes configured as a client by default. It uses a built-in default configuration file, and most people won't need to change any of the settings. Tor is now installed.

After installing you will need to install Privoxy for Web Browsing
Setup your Web Browsing, Install PRIVOXY can be found here http://www.privoxy.org/
Make sure you have selected the recent releases and pick the right package for you.

PRIVOXY is a filtering web proxy that integrates well with TOR

Now once installed. you will need to configure your PRIVOXY to use TOR.

Open Privoxy's "config" file (look in /etc/privoxy/ or /usr/local/etc/) and add the line
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
to the top of the config file. Don't forget to add the dot at the end of the line.

On some distributions, localhost is mapped to an IPv6 address, and some programs might not be able to connect to Privoxy. If so, change the line
listen-address localhost:8118
so that it reads
listen-address 127.0.0.1:8118

Privoxy keeps a log file of everything passed through it. In order to stop this you will need to comment out three lines by inserting a # before the line. The three lines are:
logfile logfile
and the line
jarfile jarfile
and (on some systems) the line
debug 1 # show each GET/POST/CONNECT request

Depending on which default config file you have for Privoxy, you may also need to turn off enable-remote-toggle, enable-remote-http-toggle, and enable-edit-actions.

Restart Privoxy for the changes to take effect.

Configure your applications to use Tor

When done installing TOR with Firefox and TORbutton, to be safe always, simply install
the TORbutton plugin for FIREFOX browser can be found here : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2275/

TOR with firefox and torbutton should be use,

To Torify other applications that support HTTP proxies, just point them at Privoxy (that is, localhost port 8118). To use SOCKS directly (for instant messaging, Jabber, IRC, etc), you can point your application directly at Tor (localhost port 9050), but see this FAQ entry
https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS

for why this may be dangerous. For applications that support neither SOCKS nor HTTP, take a look at tsocks here http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/ or socat here https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO#socat

For information on how to Torify other applications, check out the Torify HOWTO here https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO


Making sure that it is working.

If tor in firefox is enabled. you will need to open the firefox and browse to see you
IP address. http://www.whatismyip.com

then check your ip address,. now disable TOR in your firefox then check your IP address again.
if the ip address changes. this means TOR is working. now enable TOR back then you can now start surfing anonymously..

If you want to help the TOR community. you may want to be a relay in the network as well.
you can make a relay by following this guide. http://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-relay.html.en

Have Fun. :)
