Exclude domains in your google search results

1.  Put '-' in front of 'site:' operator
1. e.g.
1. Try: how to learn tibco -site:tibco.com -site:tibcommunity.com
2. searches for materials on "how to learn tibco" while ignoring all Tibco's noise

FYI: It seems there is a copyright, so searching for "SOA" instead might lead to more books with desired material covered.

rsync: include only these

1. rsync -avP --include=*/ [set of includes] --exclude=* 
1. for example
1. rsync -n -avP --include=*/ --include=*.dat  --include=*.idx --exclude=* /informatica/ /backup/informatica/
