A police statement has reported the two to be an Italian man and a Portuguese woman. The statement said "Police started to investigate them after learning they tried to contact Madeleine's parents to claim the reward on offer"

Madeleine - Update
As sightings continue there is still nothing positive to report about the missing four year old. As of yet over twenty-five separate reports have come in all claiming to of seen Maddy in Malta. In the past few days there has been reports that a girl matching Madeleine's description was seen being taken on board a yacht owned by a wealthy Arabic family. However, The yacht’s name and possibly number would be clearly visible for some distance, but no one has reported seeing these details.

Benoit - Another Update - Somebody Knew??
In the last few hours it has been announced that some 14 hours (approx 1am Monday morning) before authorities discovered the bodies of Chris, Nancy and their 7-year-old-son Daniel on Monday, someone altered Benoit's page on Wikipedia to say the wrestler missed a match two days earlier because of his wife's death.
The writer has claimed it was a coincidence and a guess here "I feel incredibly bad for all the attention this got because of the fact that what I said turned out to be the truth. Like I said it was just a major coincidence, and I will never vandalize anything on wikipedia or post wrongful information. I've learned from this experience. I just can't believe what I wrote was actually the case, I've remained stunned and saddened over it"
I personally think that its too much of a coincidence as the IP address has been tracked to a computer in Stamford, CT (the site of WWE headquarters) apparently (I say apparently as only one newspaper has said this)other WWE edits have been linked to the same IP address including confidential information about Chavo Guerrero.
Did someone know about the death before or was it all a huge coincidence, if someone knew that person could of possibly prevented Benoit's suicide, which leads to more conspiracy theories.

Benoit - Update
The WWE Chairman issued a "non-apology" on Tuesday for the three hour show dedicated to the life of Benoit. After finding out the facts they took down all tributes from the website.
After the autopsies this week official say they think Benoit killed his son in a choke hold, they have said there was no bruising around his neck so from a process of ellimination this is what they come up with, seems to me that they want to blame wrestling as much as they can, as I can personally think of other things where (as far as I know) there would be no bruising, for example using a pillow??
WWE have dismissed theories of "Roid Rage" as they thing the murders were too thought out, with them lasting the whole weekend and the bodies having bibles placed next to them the WWE have said that this is an indication steriods were not used.

The Church - Update
It looks like from todays comic that all religions are joining together in an attempt to overthrow Ethan! In other news the Church of Gaming website has been added to and you can now read the "Bible". I hope Ethan manages to ward off these other religions!

Wrestler Benoit and Family found dead
My responce to the headline "WWE Wrestler Chris Benoit, Wife and Son Found Dead" was one of huge shock!
It's a little known fact to my friends but I am a huge WWE fan, me and my husband went to watch Raw just over a year ago, I mourned at the death of Eddie Guerrero, and yesterday another great was lost.
On Saturday Chris Benoit was due to participate in Smackdown in Texas, but he did now show, he said he could not make the show because of personal reasons. Dissapointed fans were assured by WWE that Benoit would be at Sunday nights "Vengance" a pay-per-view event, but yet again Benoit was a no show. This time when WWE officials got in touch with the star he said that his wife and son had food poisoning and were throwing up, and on Monday after recieving contact through several text messages that stated his home address in Fayetteville, about 20 miles south of Atlanta and recieving one message from Benoit's phone that said: "The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open," police were alerted. When deputies arrived at Benoit's house at about 2:30 p.m. yesterday, they found the bodies of Benoit, his wife Nancy, and his son Daniel.
The case is currently being investigated as a double murder and suicide case, police have said Benoit killed his wife and son sometime at the weekend and then killed himself yesterday.
The Washington Post has reported "Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with a weight-machine pulley, authorities said Tuesday. Authorities offered no motive for the killings, which were spread out over the weekend and discovered Monday. No suicide note was found."
However the police are investigating into whether Benoit went into a rage caused by prolonged steroid usage. Investigators found anabolic steroids in the house and want to know whether "The Rabid Wolverine" was unhinged by the bodybuilding drugs, which can cause paranoia, depression and explosive outbursts. Police are looking into this as the cause as Benoit was known for his "wholesome family-man image" a reason several thousand WWE fans are posting their views on websites.
Many people cannot believe that Benoit would do such a thing, and the consipicy theories have already started. Some people think that someone was in his home the whole weekend and made him send the messages before killing him and making it look like suicide, others have said they think its a drug deal gone wrong. Whatever happened only three people know for sure.

The Church Of Gaming
Nine days ago on the 18th June, we first heard about Ethan's "faith" and "gods" of gaming. Two days later on the 20th he created a hat and a symbol of his new Church. On the 22nd he informed Lucas of his intentions, and began to write his "bible"
On the 23rd June 2007 Ethan gave all us geeks out there a religion and made the Church of Gaming official, with an official "Holy Instruction Manual" but what geek church would be complete without its own website?? On 25th June Ethan gave us that too, using the powers of a popular website Ctrl+Alt+Del he gave us the Church of Gaming
Yesterday was the first church meeting. I think it will be interesting to see where they go with this, the fact that they have created the website www.churchofgaming.com to go with the storyline is was I liked best, at the moment as you can see the website is only one page, but I think as the story progresses we may be given more especially if it gets a lot of hits.
So spread the word the geek Church is here!!

Still Missing, but not giving up hope!
Madeleine McCann has today been missing for 53 days. Her parents said on Friday that they never thought they would see the 50th day come and go without Maddy being found. Despite this being the hardest thing they have had to go through they are determined not to give up hope and will keep trying to make Maddy's missing case as high profile as possible, and are not willing to return to the UK without Madeleine
They say on their website that fridays balloon launching event was a huge sucess. "The response to our request for events on the 50th day has been overwhelming" said Gerry and Kate. "This global support gives us both strength and fresh determination to carry on our campaign."
At the weekend it was reported Maddy had been spotted eleven different times in Malta. The McCann's have said they are not getting their hopes up, as there would be nothing worse than getting excited about the information only to find out that it all came to nothing. Police are taking every sighting seriously and Maltese police have locked down on all ports and the airport in Malta in the hope that if she is there she will be found.
One of the most significant sightings have came from Ray Roberts, from Anglesey, North Wales, said he saw a girl in Sliema wearing what he said looked to be a black wig. The girl was of white origin and was walking with an Arab-looking man. Ray said he heard the man shout "Get up little girl" as the girl tripped and fell.
When questioned about the incident Ray Roberts said "It was obviously not his first language so it seemed odd that he had to speak to her in English, As a father, their reaction did not seem natural."
He added: "The more I think about what I saw the more convinced I become that it may well have been Maddie. The oddness of it all played out in my mind until I got home then I realised I had to do something."
I hope sincerely that this comes up with something.
A British newspaper "The News Of The World" has started off a reward to bring Maddy home. This reward includes donations from J.K.Rowling, footballer Wayne Rooney and fiancée Coleen McLoughlin, Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright, Sir Richard Branson, Sir Philip Green, West Ham Chairman Eggert Magnussin, Reading's John Madejski, Anne Summer's boss Jacqueline Gold, TV Star Simon Cowell, England Cricket captain Micheal Vaughan, Sir Tom Hunter, Sir Stelios Hari-Ioannou, and Matalan Chief John Hargreaves. The reward has now reached £ 1.5 million. I and I think joined by many others would like to think all these people for reaching into their own pockets to help get Maddy back. I just hope we hear something about her pretty soon.
Robbie Williams has also tried to raise awareness about Maddy and has been seen at the weekend wearing a t-shirt bearing Madeleines face and name.

Free Online Books
While looking into Linux systems and what to use, I found this website PSPXWorld It has a lot of useful books on it, from a variety of different subjects, including:
I have found the site really useful for my Linux research :)
And as I'm trying to teach myself some programming languages I hope it will be just as useful for that too!
Speaking of teaching yourself, I have over the past 2 months taught myself HTML the W3 Schools website is really helpful, and although I'm no HTML expert it has been the only website I have needed to use to learn quite a lot :D
- Programming
- Mathematics
- Computer Science
- Database
- Operating Systems
