Site by David Winterbottom (user root).
For those files in current folder that would be shown in `ls *ext`, for some extension ext, move/rename that file removing the .ext suffix from the file name.
It uses Bash's parameter substitution, as seen in
(for analog use in prefix, see http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/parameter-substitution.html#PSOREX2 )
diff originalfile updatedfile > my.patch
When a large maven release goes wrong, by deploying just some of the artifacts letting others behind, some projects got wrong SNAPSHOT versions. This command comes to help!
Tip: replace sed's regex by your version numbers
Rename all mp4 files with crc32 information.
Sometimes in a hurry you may move or copy a file using an already existent file name. If you aliased the cp and mv command with the -i option you are prompted for a confirmation before overwriting but if your aliases aren't there you will loose the target file!
The -b option will force the mv command to check if the destination file already exists and if it is already there a backup copy with an ending ~ is created.
Deletes unneeded files after every step and allows to use a color other than yellow at the last position.
You can also save EXIF information by copying it to temp.jpg:
jpegtran -optimize -outfile temp.jpg <JPEG> && jhead -te temp.jpg "$_" && mv temp.jpg "$_"
Use case: folder with flac files with tree structure ../artist/album/number-title.flac
1) convert flac->mp3 in the same folder: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/6341/convert-all-.flac-from-a-folder-subtree-in-192kb-mp3
2) search for mp3 files and recreate tree structure to another path: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/8853/copy-selected-folder-found-recursively-under-src-retaining-the-structure
3) move all mp3 files to that new folder: this command
This is a better version, as it does no command piping, uses for instead of while loops, which allows for a list of files in the current working directory to be natively processed. It also uses the -v/verbose option with mv to let you know what the command is doing.
While the command does exactly the same in a better way, I would modify the sed option to replace spaces with underscores instead, or dashes.
Please note that you'll receive errors with this command as it tries to rename files that don't even have spaces.
This is an alternative to: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/8761/renames-all-files-in-the-current-directory-such-that-the-new-file-contains-no-space-characters.
Replaces space in a file with a underline
Give files a random name (don't ask why :-)
The function will rename files but maintain their extensions.
BUG: If a file doesn't have an extension it will end up with a dot at the end of the name.
The parameter '8' for pwgen controls the length of filenames - eight random characters.
You can replace "." with your folder
That is an alternative to command 8368.
Command 8368 is EXTREMELY NOT clever.
1) Will break also for files with spaces AND new lines in them AND for an empty expansion of the glob '*'
2) For making such a simple task it uses two pipes, thus forking.
3) xargs(1) is dangerous (broken) when processing filenames that are not NUL-terminated.
4) ls shows you a representation of files. They are NOT file names (for simple names, they mostly happen to be equivalent). Do NOT try to parse it.
Why? see this :http://mywiki.wooledge.org/ParsingLs
Recursive version:
find . -depth -name "*foo*" -exec bash -c 'for f; do base=${f##*/}; mv -- "$f" "${f%/*}/${base//foo/bar}"; done' _ {} +
without sed, but has no problems with files with spaces or other critical characters
as commented by Urk...
Rotates log files with "gz"-extension in a directory for 7 days and enumerates the number in file name.
i.e.: logfile.1.gz > logfile.2.gz
I needed this line due to the limitations on AIX Unix systems which do not ship with the rename command.
find pictures recursively in a specified folder and renames the file name to originalname_containingfoldername.jpg
Recursively find php files and replace tab characters with spaces.
"\*.php" -- replace this with the files you wish to find
"expand" -- replace tabs with spaces (use "unexpand" to replace spaces with tabs)
"-t4" -- tabs represent 4 spaces
Note: The IFS="" in the middle is to prevent 'read' from eating leading/trailing whitespace in filenames.
Recursively changes every file case to lowercase

- Burn Fat Fast
- Dietary Supplement
- Multi-Phase Capsules
- VCaps
- Capsule of Plant Origin
- Free of Animal Products
Lipo-6X is the world's most advanced fat burner using a new and superior liquid Multi-Phase technology. This unique Multi-Phase technology combines rapid liquid capsules delivery with controlled-release inside capsule technology. What this means is that Lipo-6X is the only fat burner that has multiple release phases, both fast and extended:
Phase #1 Rapid Release Liquid Capsule: The outer liquid capsule of Lipo-6X ensures a rapid and almost instant uptake of its appetite-suppressing fat-burning, thyroid-boosting and energy promoting ingredients. Within minutes of taking Lipo-6X you will feel all the liquid pharmaceutical-grade compounds working for you.
Phase #2 Controlled and Extended Release Inside Capsule: Unlike standard fat-burning formulas, whose effects come and go quickly, Lipo-6x continues to work for you over an extended period of time. By selectively putting some of the ingredients in the form of beadlets into a separate capsules, that sits inside the liquid capsule, the absorption rate can now be controlled. This greatly extends the amount of time these ingredients are active, which means that the appetite-suppressing, thyroid-boosting and fat-burning effects of Lipo-6X continue to work for many hours allowing you to consistently lose weight around the clock.
Lipo-6X is the first and only fat burner that offers speed and duration. A quick and rapid onset of its powerful fat-burning and energy-promoting effects, combined with a controlled and extended release, will ensure maximum results day and night.
Suggested Use
Start off with only 2 multi-phase capsules on your first two days (1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon) and increase dosage by 1 multi-phase capsules every two days until maximum dosage of 4 multi-phase capsules per day is reached. From here take 2 multi-phase capsules in the morning and a additional 2 multi-phase capsules in the afternoon. Do not exceed 4 multi-phase capsules per day. Do not take with 6 hours of sleep.
For optimum results Lipo-6X should not be taken with meals consume at least 30 minutes before a meal. Lipo-6X is best used in cycles. The suggested cycle length is 8 weeks followed by a 1 week break.
Other Ingredients
Vegetable cellulose†, polysorbate 80, FD&C Blue #2
† This product utilizes only natural vegetable capsules that are free of animal products.
Lipo-6X is not for use by persons under the age of 18. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Do not exceed recommended dosage. Do not consume synephrine, caffeine or thyroid-boosting compounds from other sources, including but not limited to, coffee, tea, soda and other dietary supplements or medications containing or medications containing or medications containing phenylephrine or caffeine. This product contains caffeine. Lipo-6X is best taken in cycles. The suggested cycle length is 8 weeks followed by a 1 week back. Consult physician prior to use if you are taking medication, including but not limited to, MAOI inhibitors, anti-depressants, aspirin non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or products containing phenylephrine ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or other stimulants. Consult your physician prior to use if you have a medical condition, including but not limited to heart, liver kidney or thyroid disease, psychiatric disorder, difficulty urinating, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia, recurrent headaches, enlarged prostate or glaucoma.

John Owens' column reported the Board of Regents announced that on the upcoming April statewide tests, they'd take "10 minutes off the English exam." Owens wrote, "Of course, in context, it's not much. Our kids still can expect to sit through nearly three hours of testing." He's right, but I'd like to amend his "not much" to "too much: 10 minutes too much." Because allowing kids to leave the testing room 10 minutes early will do more harm than good — and here's why: I think the Board of Regents needs some Common Core courses intended to improve both critical thinking and problem-solving, given their foolish plan which stipulates that "students in grades 5-8 will be allowed to leave testing areas 10 minutes earlier on one day ... if everyone in the class completes the exam in less than the time allowed."
Can you imagine the pointed stares and the pressure directed by every finished test-taker to the very last kid still working on his or her test during those last 10 minutes?
Well, this retired teacher can. It will make it very hard for the slow or super-conscientious student to continue concentrating on his test while knowing everyone wants him to close his booklet and hand it in — for their "freedom." And If he does use every last minute, I hate to think about the comments and even bullying he might receive from some angry classmates. I think these Board of Regents "experts" should have been able to anticipate these potentailly negative outcomes for a ridiculously-negligible 10 minutes of "appeasement." A better alternative would be to require all kids to remain in their seats until the very end of the time allowed; but be allowed to read at their desks.
Even if all kids finish early, it would be unwise to dismiss them; because this would tempt some kids to (unwisely, against their best interests) race through the test for this "reward."

The secret of spin is child's play
This week, researchers from the University of Cambridge will be arriving at the Summer Science Exhibition of the Royal Society armed not with the latest in cutting-edge lab technology, but an assortment of simple toys.
But while many of these playthings may look like Christmas stocking-fillers purchased from the gift shop at a museum, their behaviour is helping scholars to understand the evolution of weather patterns and the magnetohydrodynamics of spinning stars and planets. They include spinning eggs that rise against gravity, objects that spontaneously reverse their sense of spin and discs that roll at an accelerating rate before coming to a standstill. In each case, their behaviour has been baffling some of the sharpest scientific minds for years.
"Understanding the behaviour of spinning toys can teach us a lot about some of the fundamental principles of dynamics," Dr Tadashi Tokieda, College lecturer at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, explained. "The toys themselves are very simple, but the way in which they behave is so strange that they have intrigued anyone who has studied mechanics at graduate level. One of the things we hope to point out is that some of the most important experiments can take place not in the lab, but in daily life. Good scientists take toys seriously."
One example of a toy that seems to defy the laws of physics is the "rattleback" - a small, symmetrical canoe-shaped object that spins smoothly in one direction, but when spun the other way rattles and reverses its motion. Its mysterious behaviour was this year explained in a paper by Professor Keith Moffatt FRS, also at Cambridge University, and Dr Tokieda, as being a subtle effect of what is known as chirality – the result of the object's skewed mass distribution.
The behaviour of this toy could offer insight into a bigger problem. Every million years or so, the Earth's magnetic field reverses, causing the planet's magnetic north and magnetic south to interchange. Scientists are still at a loss as to what causes this, but the rattleback toy mimics certain fluid dynamical processes in the Earth's liquid core that are responsible for the excitation of its magnetic field.
"In the case of each toy that will be on display, mathematics, coupled with computation and high-speed photography, and above all simple, imaginative experiments that everyone can do, is helping us to explain their surprising and behaviour," Dr Tokieda added.
The Royal Society's Summer Science Exhibition is held annually at the Royal Society, the UK's national academy of science. The event is free and open to the public. This year, 23 interactive exhibits will be on show presenting the best in UK science, engineering and technology. During the four days, more than 4,000 people are expected to explore the exhibition. The event will run from Monday 2 to Thursday 5 July. Other maths on display at the exhibition include sound waves, extreme pressure and optical illusions.

Aliens under the rainbow
The geometry that gives rise to rainbows may help scientists to find out whether other planets contain water, which is necessary to sustain life. Rainbows are formed because light rays are bent, or refracted, and scattered as they enter droplets of liquid that hang in the atmosphere. The refraction occurs because light waves are slowed as they enter the droplet — think of a shopping trolley slowing down as you push it onto a lawn at an angle, and changing its direction as a result. The amount by which the light rays are slowed, and hence bent, depends on the liquid's consistency and is measured by its refractive index. Thus, different liquids give rise to rainbows at different angles, a fact that enabled researchers to determine that the clouds of Venus are droplets of concentrated sulfuric acid. Researchers now suggest that the same approach could be used to detect clouds made of liquid water in a planet's atmosphere.

Fractals in the Sun's storms
Plasma astrophysicists at the University of Warwick have found that key information about the Sun's "storm season" is being broadcast across the solar system in a fractal snapshot imprinted in the solar wind. This research opens up new ways of looking at both space weather and the unstable behaviour that affects the operation of fusion powered power plants.
Solar wind consists of a stream of plasma, mainly protons and electrons, that are ejected by the Sun's corona. On its way out the wind interacts with the Sun's magnetic field, broadcasting it across the universe. The researchers, led by Sandra Chapman, measured the strength of the magnetic field in the solar wind. They found that when the Sun is at the peak of its 11-year cycle, the graph they were plotting turned into a fractal. At this point the solar corona was at its most active, stormy and complex, due to sunspot activity, solar flares, etc. When the corona was quieter no fractal patterns were found in the solar wind.
This new information will help astrophysicists understand how the solar corona heats the solar wind and the nature of the turbulence of the solar wind with its implications for cosmic ray flux and space weather.
The techniques used to find and understand the fractal patterns in the solar wind are also being used to assist the quest for fusion power. Researchers in the University of Warwick's Centre for Fusion, Space and Astrophysics (CFSA) are collaborating with scientists from the EURATOM/UKAEA fusion research programme to measure and understand fluctuations in the world leading fusion experiment MAST (the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak) at Culham. Controlling plasma fluctuations in tokamaks is important for getting the best performance out of future fusion power plants.

Live maths - tangled DNA, the Big Bang and musical superstrings
Twisting, Coiling, Knotting: Maths and DNA Replication
The proportions of a DNA molecule in a human cell are equivalent to a 2000-mile-long rope packed inside the Millennium Dome. When DNA replicates, it spins at an astonishing 10 turns per second. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that DNA can become highly twisted, super-coiled and even knotted! To understand this phenomenon, the molecular biologist must grapple with the mathematical concepts of twisting, writhing and knotting. In this highly-illustrated talk Professor Michael Thompson FRS will experiment with strings and rubber bands (bring your own!) to explore the geometrical rules which underlie the transmission our genetic code.
When: Thursday 24th of May 2007, 5pm - 6pm
Dinner@Dana: Back to the Big Bang
In honour of the Large Hadron Collider, the Dana Centre is holding an evening dinner and discussion attended by the expert James Gillies from CERN. There'll be slide shows and photographs and a two-course meal inspired by particle physics.
When: 15th of May 2007, 6.30pm - 8.30pm
Also the Science Museum in London has put on an exhibition in honour of the Large Hadron Collider. The exhibition is free and will run until the 7th of October 2007.
Superstrings - a Musical Journey through Time and Space
You probably knew that Einstein was a great scientist, but did you also know that he played the violin? In this unique double act a virtuoso violinist and the head of the department of particle physics at Oxford University combine the electricity of a live musical performance with an insight into the deepest corners of the Universe. The lecture explores Einstein's life, both in science and in music, from his theories that shaped space and time, to modern ideas in particle physics.

Mathematical moment - Henry Whitehead
Born: 11th of November 1904 in Madras, India
"He would have been more successful in mathematics if he had been less so at cricket," is what Whitehead's maths teacher wrote about him on his graduation from Eton. Once at Oxford, to which he'd nevertheless gained entry, Whitehead's distraction diversified to include squash, tennis, boxing and poker, at which he reportedly staked large sums of money. Worse, Whitehead did not even seem to want to become a mathematician at first, instead he joined a stockbrokers firm in London on completion of his degree.
But luckily, all turned out well for maths in the end. Working in the City wasn't to Whitehead's taste, and after a detour to Oxford he enrolled for a PhD at Princeton in the US. Here he began to work on two areas which benefitted greatly from his contributions: topology and differential geometry. Both differential geometry and topology deal with surfaces like the sphere or the torus, or their higher dimensional analogues. While differential geometry looks at rigid properties that depend on a metric, for example the curvature of a surface, in topology metric properties are irrelevant. Topologists regard two objects as being the same if you can deform one into the other without tearing. The famous example is that a coffee cup and a doughnut are topologically the same.
Whitehead contributed two major works to differential geometry, now considered classics. In topology he is best remembered for his work on "homotopy equivalence", a central notion when it comes to pinning down whether two objects are topologically equivalent. Notably, Whitehead spent quite some time working on the now famous Poincare conjecture and even thought that he had found a proof. However, an inconspicuous pair of interlinked circles, now known as the "Whitehead link", gave rise to a structure that Whitehead had assumed not to exist. This toppled his proof and the Poincare conjecture was to remain open for another 70 years.
Whitehead also contributed to maths in another, less theoretical way. The percecution of Jews in Nazi Germany troubled him greatly, and he helped a number of eminent mathematicians to escape, including Erwin Schroedinger, one of the founders of quantum mechanics.
Had Whitehead not died suddenly of a heart attack at only 56, he certainly would have gone on to contribute even more.

Browse with Plus - The world's largest experiment
Scientists are currently building the largest machine in the world in order to understand the smallest fragments of our universe. Their insights will throw light on some of the biggest questions there are - how did the universe start, what is it made of, and how will it end? The machine is the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and it is buried up to 175m below ground in a huge circular tunnel close to Geneva. To prepare for its inauguration at the end of this year, the Science Museum has put on a special exhibition entitled "Big Bang". The accompanying website tells you all you need to know about the collider and the science behind it. It's accessible for everyone from school age onwards, no previous knowledge required.
You can also read about LHC in the Plus article, Secrets of the universe.

YELAWOLF – Radioactive
Posted in ALBUM REVIEWSDecember 26, 20111 comment
Michael Wayne Atha, better known as Yelawolf, is quite a talented rapper. Having been in Missy Elliott's reality series Road To Stardom, then releasing an album and some mixtapes, and now his album Radioactive is nothing short of terrific. Radioactive is a great album that I think everyone is going to love. It's produced by Eminem. Like I said, he is quite talented and he really should have more mainstream play.Read more

Gecko lizards use dry adhesion forces to climb vertical and even backward-slanting walls. Yet, despite the strength they provide for holding their body to such walls, you can easily pluck them from their surface, and no residue is left behind. Imagine doing that with a TV.
A group of scientists at UMass Amherst have developed something that does just this. Their new material, 'Geckskin', can be used to stick a 42-inch television to a wall.
We once modeled the use of a gecko foot as a series of many small cantilever beams, which represent the setea or small hairs on the gecko foot. Crosby and colleagues have found that setae are not required for gecko-like performance. Instead, the skin is woven into a synthetic "tendon," yielding a design that plays a key role in maintaining stiffness and rotational freedom, as shown in the picture. I'd like to see a model about that.

Associated Press
RABAT, Morocco (AP) -- Hundreds of members of Islamist and left wing political groups demonstrated outside the Tangiers Film Festival earlier this month against a documentary about Moroccan Jews living in Israel. They claimed that director Kamal Hachkar was promoting "normalization" with the Jewish state.
But Hachkar was not expelled from the artists' union, nor was his film banned, and he wasn't ostracized from Morocco's intellectual class, as has happened in similar cases in Egypt and elsewhere. Instead, directors and actors circulated a petition of support, and his film went on to win best work by a new director at the festival.
Once home to some 300,000 Jews, the largest population in the Arab world, Morocco is increasingly taking a fresh look at its long history with Judaism and is spurning the flat rejection of all things Hebrew found in so many other Arab countries.
In the film, "Tinghir-Jerusalem: Echoes from the Mellah," Hachkar talks to people in Berber villages high in the Atlas mountains about their memories of the Jews suddenly leaving for Israel in the 1960s. He then travels to Jerusalem and finds many of these Jews, still speaking Moroccan Arabic and the Berber language, fondly reminiscing about the land they left behind.
"It tells the story of a forgotten part of Morocco's history, a history that is not taught at school," Hachkar told The Associated Press. "My goal is to tell the human story and to defend the plurality of Moroccan history and identity."
The director, who was born in Tinghir but left to live in France with his father at the age of 6 months, has toured all over Morocco showing the film to what he says were packed houses. Most people were initially suspicious, but warmed to the subject when they saw Jews speaking Moroccan Arabic and even the Berber dialect of the High Atlas, he said.
According to Zhor Rehihil, the curator of the Museum for Moroccan Judaism in Casablanca -- founded in 1997 and unique in the region -- Jews have been part of Morocco since Jewish merchants came to North Africa with the Phoenicians hundreds of years before the birth of Christ.
For centuries they were found in the mountain villages alongside Morocco's Berbers -- the original inhabitants of North Africa -- who mostly converted to Islam with the arrival of the Arab tribes in the 7th century.
Morocco's Jewish population was invigorated in 1492 when Spain expelled Muslims and Jews, most of whom fled to Morocco and brought with them the sophisticated urban culture of Andalucia.
"The Jews in Morocco were everywhere, in the cities, in the small villages. It was a country with a large and vibrant community of Jews and with their departure, Morocco lost a large part of its history," said Rehihil.
At its peak in the 1950s, there were an estimated 300,000 Jews in Morocco out of a population of some 8 million.
With the establishment of Israel and the encouragement of Zionists, Morocco's Jews left. Some went for religious reasons to seek the long promised land, some for a better life than in economically troubled post-colonial Morocco, still others who feared persecution.
Unlike elsewhere in the Arab world, the creation of Israel did not spark widespread animosity or attacks on Jews. There were isolated incidents but no national campaign. Many Jews left, however, after being told by Zionist agents they were in danger, said Rehihil.
"Each time there was an Arab-Israeli war, there would be tensions and the Jews would become afraid and some more would leave," she said, adding that most had left by the 1973 war.
Some 5,000 now remain, almost all in Morocco's commercial capital of Casablanca.
As in the rest of the region, however, there has been a heavy focus in Morocco on the plight of the Palestinian people and many Moroccans have started equating Jews with Israel. In May 2003, a series of al-Qaida-inspired bombings in Casablanca attacked, among other targets, a Jewish cemetery and a community center, which was empty at the time.
Protests against Israeli military actions are a regular occurrence, the most recent in November over the latest clashes in Gaza. Tens of thousands marched through Casablanca and Rabat in demonstrations attended by members of the governing moderate Islamist party.
"It's not a matter of denying the history of Moroccan Jews nor attacking freedom of expression, but defending one of the principal foundations of the nation, which is to say, no to normalization with the Zionist entity," said Mohammed Khiyi, a member of parliament with the Islamist Party for Justice and Development who demonstrated against Hachkar's film on Feb. 5.

If you can't update to Windows XP service pack 3 for some reason or are using older Windows 2003 servers behind patches you can utilize this hotfix instead: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968730ReplyDeleteReplies
I can't update to Windows XP service pack 3 for some reason. After downloading "968730", it ask for service pack 3 installed first. So, no way to fix this issue. Any method else?Delete
Yes, stop using Chrome and go back to Firefox. They have no interest in rewriting a key part of their browser just to support older OSes. I suspect that in a couple years it won't even work on XP at all.Delete
Yea, Joe Siegrist is incorrect in that there is no hotfix available for XP SP2 or older.Delete
2 "bug menot", well Google chose to use the SSL API provided by the OS for consistency across all platforms they support you would of thought they would go with the Open source SSL libraries for consistency. I would not judge it right or wrong maybe just the easy choice :-)Delete
I am not able to log into lastpass from Chrome either. However I can log into lastpass from FF. I'm running WinXP SP3. I've also attempted installing the new certs using the zip file provided in this thread. In the chrome, when I check the certificate window (the one giving me grief) it has the following information:ReplyDelete

Hi Leslie: Were you able to apply the hotfix for Windows XP? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/968730Delete

I am also not able to log into lastpass from chrome (firefox do work) due to certificate problem (same as above)
I am able to enter thawte/verisign pages, I did installation of their certificates, but it did not help.
I am on windows xp sp2 and I cannot install sp3 on my machine, so I cannot apply the microsoft fix.
Is there any other workaround?
Best RegardsReplies
I don't recommend this but if you have a tech skills you could look at KB 968730 see what files it changes and try copying the versions from a systems running SP3 to SP2. I have no idea if you can retrofit them. Check the support forums on the web if you want to go down that "rabbit hole". I read about the technique used with other DLL files retrofitting Win 2000 using XP DLL's. Success depends if the API has not changed significantly and if that is the case the combination you try was never tested for SP2 but MAY work.Delete

I can NOT log into lastpass fromReplyDelete
Chrome or IE on XP SP 3 ; Firefox works fine.
I have downloaded and installed
the digital certificates from Thawte.
I also tried the Microsoft hotfix
even though I had SP3.
On a Windows 7 machine I CAN access Lastpass from Chrome so it seems to be related to Windows XP which is old but I have an endpoint which is XP I would like to access LP (guess I will use FF for that endpoint :-(Replies
Unfortunately if the hotfix didn't work, there doesn't seem to be much we can do, as it's local to that machine - our in-house test on a comparable machine worked. We hope you're able to continue with LastPass on the other browsers and machines.Delete
Firefox 12.0 and the LastPass add-on are working perfectly fine on my machine.
However, over the past several weeks using Google-Chrome 30.0 I was receiving this message (Something is currently interfering with your secure connection to lastpass.com.) when I tried to click on a lastpass url that begins with https.
Additionally, intermittently I would have to click on the white LP icon and enter my password twice, sometimes three times, before the icon turned red, confirming I was logged onto LP.
Additionally, even though I was logged into LP and able to use the LP manager to log into internet websites, I was constantly getting the red bar advisory, "You are not connected to the internet."
Plus, the auto login to all broswers feature was not working.
Tonight I decided to remove the LP extension from Google-Chrome and reinstall it to see if this would remedy the problems I described.
Ha! Big mistake. After removing the LP extension from the browser and reinstalling the LP extension, I can't login to LP at all.
I was just getting comfortable using the Google-Chrome browser, considering making it my default browser cause it's a lot faster than Firefox, and now this happens.
Looking around on other help sites I see others are experiencing the same problems with LP, so I don't feel alone. :grin
I'm confident a remedy will soon be on the table.
Unfortunately it is well known that certain XP SP2 machines just refused to take the SP3 update - I have one like that as does security expert Steve Gibson. ok so WIN XP SP2 does not support SHA256 signed keys but server https://thawte.com/ is signed SHA1. Is it possible to have a lastpass.com SSL key signed SHA1 as well as SHA256 for backward compatibility or can you only have one key?ReplyDelete
My LastPass was working fine until last night. Did something new happen to cause the error again?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Carissa: We updated our certs again today due to the Heartbleed bug - is your system clock set to the correct time?Delete

Steve: Please see our newest blog post: blog.lastpass.com/2014/04/lastpass-and-heartbleed-bug.html which addresses these concerns. If you're seeing new media reports saying that LastPass is vulnerable, we'd appreciate a link so that we can follow up.Delete

I'm concerned that OpenSSL heartbleed bug has not been fixed at Lastpass. Can you please update us users about the status of your security?ReplyDeleteReplies
Heartbleed has been addressed, please see our more recent blog post: blog.lastpass.com/2014/04/lastpass-and-heartbleed-bug.htmlDelete
The recent (last 6 days) change to the certificate now shows it is key signed SHA1 so I am jumping for joy as that allows an old WIN XP SP2 (that does not support SHA256 signed keys) to sign on to lastpass.com home page on a CHROME browser. I do hope you don't go to SHA256 key signing AGAIN breaking all 2 million machines (= 0.5% of XP stuck on SP2).ReplyDelete
I just learned my Google Chrome browser and my LastPass extension are friends again. :)ReplyDelete
After dealing with Dashlane, which isn't a bad product - but no where near as versatile and friendly as LastPass, you have no idea how big my smile became when I saw my lil red LP icon light up on Chrome.
Thank you so much for making me whole again. Frankly, surfing without LP was a major pain. I love this program!Replies
Were you running Google Chrome browser + LastPass extension on Win XP ?Delete

I bet Microsoft just don't want us accessing Twitter because they don't own it (yet). The explanations do not pan out; I access sites with https all the time - no problem - bit they are making it awfully hard for us to access Twitter.ReplyDeleteReplies
@anonymous Yes twitter has updated to SHA256 cert signing so you must be using an older OS that does not support this - it's a pain that is going to get worse.Delete

I love looking good - Stoan
Stoan Seate fancies himself as the snappiest dresser in town.
Seate, whose real name is Serai, apparently takes more than an hour to get ready every day, something that annoys his wife Dolly.
When he has to dress up a bit for an event he usually knocks it out of the park. Never seen with a single hair out of place, Seate believes it is "looks that make a man".
Born in North West, Seate's sense of style and boyish good looks haven't gone unnoticed. He has been featured in a multitude of best-dressed lists.
"I have always loved looking good since I was young, but my real passion for fashion and style developed when I started working as the face of Carducci. They really set the tone for me. Since hooking up with them I have made it my business to look good all the time," he said.
But the Motswana rapper says his ready-for-the-red-carpet looks are not the be all and end all. Seate says there is more to him than just being elegant.
He is an actor, musician, TV presenter and dedicated husband and father of three girls - Malaika, Ayana and Zahara. Seate's private life was placed under public scrutiny following his relationship with former lover and band-mate Thandiswa Mazwai, with whom he has a child.
The Afro Cafe presenter says being a celebrity makes family life and fatherhood very difficult.
"My private life is constantly under scrutiny. This has put a lot of strain on my children, who did not choose to have a father who is a celebrity. Journalists forget that I am a father before I am a celebrity. I'm the famous one, not my children. We do not intrude into journalists' private lives.
"We have a platform on social networks but we do not use them because we know it is morally wrong," Seate says.

Values and Society
Life today is presenting numerous challenges when it comes to finding one's place in the world. Many societies are becoming increasingly heterogeneous, thanks to globalization, a greater focus on individual needs and changing values. All of these developments can give rise to conflict. Ever more pressing questions are therefore how to increase social cohesion – now and in the future – and which values can serve as a foundation for communal life. The Bertelsmann Stiftung is examining critical issues in this area, such as which values promote social cohesion, the impact religious diversity is having and how role models can help society thrive over time. Social cohesion must be fostered, and for that to happen an open discussion of values must take place
Focus Areas
Religion Monitor
The Religion Monitor examines the impact religious beliefs have on social cohesion in a diverse society. Do they increase cohesiveness or do they give rise to conflicts? How do adherents of different religions perceive each other and how do they interact? Based on representative surveys carried out in 13 countries, the Religion Monitor examines how personal beliefs, values, interreligious relations and social cohesion influence each other.more
Social Cohesion
The Bertelsmann Stiftung carries out comparative assessments of social cohesion both on an international scale and within Germany. Experts and practitioners systematically analyze the causes and consequences of shifts in cohesiveness, focusing in particular on the impact that values have and their significance for quality of life. The goal is to identify risks and the areas requiring action and to promote a public discussion of issues relating to social cohesion.more

One of the parents' chief issues with these program changes stem from the district's changing story regarding the origins of the TWI program. We were told when we enrolled our daughter five years ago, that TWI was a true dual-immersion program, designed to produce children who were dual-lingual. Now we are told that the program was envisioned as primarily a boost to ELLs (English Language Learners), who would flourish side-by-side with native-Engish-speakers.
We believe that any public school program should benefit all its students, not primarily one limited group. If the nature of the TWI program is as the district now describes, we resent not being told that our children were essentially being used to boost the ELL program, with the secondary benefit of gaining Spanish fluency.

It's easy to fall into a routine, especially when it comes to foreplayor lack thereof. These six sex games concentrate on the journey, making the final act especially fun.
By Marissa Spring
Time bomb
You need: A clock or an egg timer.
How to play: Pick a time interval 20 minutes, let's say. (If you're like us, even 10 minutes will be a change from the norm.) Whatever interval you choose, absolutely do not allow penetration until that much time has elapsed.
Why: Most busy couples have foreplay down to a scienceand a bare minimum as well. "Time Bomb" refocuses you on the pregame show, the part that used to be so much fun before you lived together. You'll be surprised by how much slowing down changes things. You get really creative. You get really hot.

How Well Can You Throw A Ball? - Have your shoulder strength evaluated, and get tips on exercises that can improve your shoulder strength. Physical therapy faculty from University of the Sciences will evaluate participants with regard to shoulder range of motion and strength needed for throwing. They will provide simple exercises that participants can do at home to improve shoulder strength.
How to create a device that transports a foam baseball along a "zip line" using wind power? Teams of participants will use the provided materials to create a device to transport a foam baseball as far as possible along a "zip line." Each device must be portable, and attach and detach from the "zip line." Points will be awarded based on the distance each team's device allows their ball to travel. This challenge allows participants to investigate Newton's Laws of Motion by designing a device to transport objects along a level, linear path. Participants design a device that travels along a "zip line" using wind power. Successful devices will overcome the initial inertia of the resting device and, using the power of the fan, will transfer force from the wind to their device, causing the device to move along the string.
Exhibit list is subject to change.

Post subject: To Mr. Cole: "I can't continue, it's too tense!"
My 8-year old son Edward (9 in May) is on spring break, the in-laws are visiting, and so we had some time off yesterday to play FC.
We decided to take 125 points each. He took Romulans (War Eagle and SeaSparrow...at least I think it was a Sparrow...some sort of modern Rom ship) and I took Feds (Battle Frigate and a cruiser).
During the initial (and slow) approach I launched a couple of Drones (too early!) which made Edward turn away. I also think he intended to get around my flank since his ships had better firing arcs. I was at speed 8 hoping to arm my photons before we got too close, Edward was at 16 looking to out-maneuver me while arming his Plasma torps.
He shot down both drones but I managed to get on his six with fully overloaded Photons! Woohoo! And then...
"Dad, I'd like to try a High Energy Turn."
Well, at this point my CA is a little ahead of my frigate which I let lag behind since it has a harder time getting its photons fully overloaded (less energy). Both of his ships are in the same hex at range two from my CA. We come to offensive fire phase...and I roll double-sixes with my photons!
In the ensuing exchanges of phasers, longer range photon fire from my frigate, drones, and plasma torps (Plasma Type S at 1 impulse = 30 damage points...each!) my CA is annhilated, his Seahawk/Sparrow is mostly destroyed, and both of our smaller ships are damaged (mine more so). In a following turn I finish off his Seahawk/Sparrow while his War Eagle does more damage to my Battle Frigate.
At this point his War Eagle is better off than my Frigate which is basically down to a couple of phasers and 2 points of energy with multiple shields down. He manages to limp away (5 energy) and turn around for another pass with his phasers.
Now, before I describe Edward's statement, I'd like to explain why I posted this. I wanted to let Stephen Cole know that after all of these years his game design still has the power to grip the imagination of little kids (of all ages).
So, to STEPHEN COLE:
My son then exclaimed, "I can't continue, it's just too tense!"
He was completely enthralled by the game. He had picked his own ships and after a close call against multiple overloaded photons he was on the verge of victory. With so many of my shields down we then tried out the marine raid and boarding rules but in the end it was a phaser volley which finished my Frigate.
It was a very close game and the outcome may have been even closer or different except for my double-6 roll when firing my photons at range 2 (well, that and my other tactical mistakes...I comfort myself that while I'm a mere mortal Edward's IQ is in the top 1% of the population).
But most importantly I'm so very pleased that in the age of ultra-realistic video game graphics an 8-year old can become SO intensely, emotionally involved in a game with little cardboard counters!
PS During our later conversation I described to Edward some of FC's and SFB's history and evolution. Note: he agreed that while more realistic ships should NEVER be allowed to "roll" in FC since it would ruin the maneuver aspect of the game.
But after some quick mental calculations of the number of potential counters involved Edward thought that fighters and such would be a bad idea for FC! So, beware of BoM! It may well divide the FC community!

Congratulations on the game with your son! I wish mine went as well all the time.

I know you were only joking, but that is a point I want to stress here.
BoM is not really intended for the "FC community". Intead, it is intended as a bridge to the SFB and F&E community to get them into the FC community.
So, it isn't an expansion of FC, so much as a trojan horse to get others into FC.

That's interesting. As a new comer/returning player I've been mining the forum for information. I seem to remember several posts by what appear to be FC "veterans" asking specifically for features which will be part of BoM.
Based on those posts I would think that some segment, perhaps a significant segment, of the existing FC community will flock to BoM and adopt it as part of their standard FC gaming experience.
Personally, I prefer the original FC concept of keeping things as clean as possible and so have no interest in BoM. In that respect, as an existing (if new) FC player I fit your intended profile perfectly! But I can easily see existing FC players adopting BoM just as much as new players.
I was just kidding about the "divided community" thing (my son noted the potential for such division) but since groups seem fairly isolated I think this would only be an issue for a tourney organizer ("Do I include BoM or not?")

He absolutely loved it! The "tense" comment was due to the fact that he knew he was on the edge of a win but my remaining FF could still fight (a little anyway).
In fact, today we played FC at Hobbytown USA (Kennesaw GA, just north of Atlanta). He had his heart set on going but the in-laws are visiting. So, mom said he needed to stay home while grandma and grandpa were here. He agreed and mom promised to play the scenario once G&G leave on Monday.

Oh yeah, if you can get the kids inspired, they're in for life.
About ten years ago, I remember recounting, to my then 11-yr old son, how much fun I'd had with this game called 'Star Fleet Battles'. I'd had the game from the Designer's Edition, the Expansions and Supplement, then the Commander's Edition. Stupidly, I'd then sold it all; along with loads of other bits, some lucky sod got a bargain at FIASCO in Leeds in 1989
But who'd have thought that my regaling him with our adventures in space would re-inspire me? Before I knew it I'd resurrected my old starship design folder [self-designed SSDs] and bought the Captain's Edition main sets, and it went from there. It inspired him too; Dave became a great SFB player, over the few occasions we actually managed to set up a game - but then when FC came out, it was a natural progression for us.
On reading and digesting the 'First Missions' booklet, I was hooked. The beauty, simplicity and logic of the system, while capturing the flavour of SFB and Trek, were so attractive in themselves. So I went out and bought it. And Dave caught it straight away; he is simply a brilliant player. Ok, he was inspired somewhat later in life than were than Piney and Edward, but the principle holds that if you can inspire 'em young, you've got a fan for life. Davec_24 is now one of the most prolific contributors on this forum and he's collecting the sets himself as well. He's got his wife and friends playing too.....
And word has it that he's now inspired his brother too.... [using my set]

Borders of Madness will let FC players see some more rules, but keep those rules in another box, one you never HAVE to open.
Borders of Madness will let SFB players speed up their games while using more of the SFB rules.
Borders of Madness will let F&E players use FC/BOM to play out scenarios, something impractical with SFB (too tedious) and impossible with FC (does not have key ship types).

Well, that's not quite true if another FC player
that he always uses BoM as part of his standard FC game experience.
For some FC players BoM will be an integral part of their FC gaming. Other will have zero interest (like me). Yet others will fall in between. And so the FC community will naturally segment between the extremes of "BoM is standard" and "I have zero interest in BoM".
This will be true regardless of designer/publisher intentions. It's just human nature as demonstrated by the many related threads on this forum!

I am on the fence abot BoM. I might want to play with some of the rules on occasion, but by and large I don't think the added complexity will add enough "fun" for me.
FC with fleet and squadron scale offers about the level of game play I'm after. SFB is definitely more involved than I currently want. I loved SFB when I was younger and had more available brain cells to devote to gaming.
BoM may have a mixed reception among FC players, but that pales to the diversity of SFU gamers. Prime Directive RPG (currently 3 different sets of game engine) F&E, SFB, FC, SFBF is at least 5 different SFU games currently in print. SFU gamers may play one, all five, or some individual subset. BoM is just another option.

better than what?
You want hit exp capped so that you have maximum RPS and more importantly a relaibly RPS, this allows you to mainitin maximum SB up time and pool rage when necassary for using Sbar to mitigate breath type attacks. You're using the wrong meta gem, you want the eternal. ideally you want to get hit capped just from reforging (so you can gem stam where you would otherwise have hit)
Who are you losing aggro to? The other tank or DPS? Do you have any logs of the encounters?

Ohio Domestic Violence Movement
25 Years of Creating Social Change
Celebrating ODVN's 25 Year Anniversary
By Nancy Grigsby, ODVN Legal Assistance Program Director
The first shelter in Ohio opened in 1974. Programs were just getting started in the late 70s/early 80s and none of us had a blueprint. In the late 80s several rural programs came together to build a coalition that addressed the unique issues they were seeing; many more programs – including the one I co-directed at the time - joined the bandwagon and ODVN was formed. ODVN's founders were formerly battered women and programs who kept survivors at the center of our work. And we have never lost our conviction that domestic violence survivors are the experts in their own lives and on what will help keep them and their children safer.
What a difference has been made in 25 years. Today, 70 domestic violence programs help more than 2,000 survivors and their children every single day in Ohio. They handle an estimated 285,000 crisis calls every year.

Unfortunately, though, he never played a single regular season game for the team.

agread i also think he has something that he activates a certain way not a eye techinique but something else like how sharingan has to be activated something of his will activiate and seriosly FTG naruto has to learn it, it would a amazing to c a rasengan combo with that since you have to be fast when you try to hit openent with rasengan? dont you guys think
Yaaa I thnk Namikaze Clan People have exceptional chakra n they can mould their chakra in different ways n they are fast
By having more info about 4th we can confirm the clans abilities
I thnk they dont have any eye technique

Naruto's father
*I expect there are more secrets about 4th
The Kekkei Genkai are the abilities passed down from parent to child. These genetic inheritances grant the ninja unique abilities and physical traits not found anywhere else in the world.
Also note there are Potential Bloodlines. These are ninja who appear to have unique genetic abilities.
So what blood line limit/kekkei genkai does naruto have, are what do u think or want it to be?
I personally think naruto has the flying thunder god techinique that he has to activate a certain way just like the sharingan also I heard that some people are saying naruto might have an a rinnegan or sumthin, TELL ME WHAT U GUYS THINK NARUTO HAS OR SHOULD/U WANT FOR HIM TO HAVE????
not to shut down wut ur sayin but just because he said the bloodline will b shown doesnt mean he has a bloodline limit, it could have just meant that we will find out who his parents were.......
Not to sound like a douche, but what's ''FTG''?
I haven't been able to figure it out
It's an abbreviation for Flying Thunder God, the technique made famous by Minato Namizake.

Ahh, thanks, that was confusing the hell outta me, just write it out, gotta abbreviate everything these days..
FTG for sure. Remember when Naruto puts on the Demons Cloak and he moves soo fast. I think he's going to channel the Demon Fox's Chakra into his fathers jutus(FTG) and others as well. Like he did with his own Ultimate technique....
we have seen is Kekkei Genkai since he was little. He have the power 2 be anoing and stupid some times xD.
Just kiding xD
Well if he have a Kekkei Genkai , it may be some king of power that makes him have a lot of chakra. Something like that. Or maybe just FTG :/
I think he ment bloodline as in family will be revealed.
I don't believe Naruto has a bloodline power, other than the vast amounts of stamina he has and the 9 tails adding to that.....
If he has a bloodline it will be revealed later. There is no way of guessing what it is without seeing it so I won't try lol
But I doubt it's vast amounts of chakra or stamia. we really don't know just how much chakra Naruto has becuase the fox's ying chakra constantly mixes with his own.

Exactly, but I'm sure he still has a large amount, more than an average shinobi.
But we'll never know until it get's extracted or something.
Chakra, like money, is a means to an end. If having large amounts of chakra is a genetic occurrence in the Namikaze clan, then it's because the actual kekkei genkei jutsu (if it exists) requires it.
While I know nothing about it, I would've expected Jiraiya to teach him this clan jutsu if he could, and if Naruto was able to learn/activate it.
This leads us back to Naruto's comment of " Now I can do it..." to Pa frog, which he immediately stopped talking about. Did he just mean, wind release shuriken rasengan, or "that jutsu", or this other jutsu (the kekkei genkei)? (Another thread/s on this btw).
Recall there are clans like the Aburame (bugs), Kiba's (dogs), Shikamaru (shadow/darkness), but that are not kekkei genkei's. Naruto asked about this, when learning to manipulate elemental chakra, which leads me to think it's not that either since Jiraiya might've mentioned it.
Maybe it is just large amounts of chakra, not a kekkei genkei, and FTG jutsu is forbidden like Kage Bunshin because it requires too much chakra, or the speeds are too much for a normal person to endure. Just remain open that it could be either kekkei genkei, clan-specific, or forbidden outside the 4th Hokage and his legacy. I am open to being wrong.
Finally, it may be there, but plot-wise, it's hard for him to activate a kekkei-genkei or clan-specific jutsu and not figure out his past. That's what would hold it back in the story.

Rinnegan as a blood limit or from Pein?
I edited this:
I forgot the discussion was a blood-limit. If his father didn't have it, it's more of a mutation than a blood-line to get Rinnegan. That's why I asked about Pein.

Reason: I'm dumb.
lets revise this!?
plenty of new manga is out ;D
do you think naruto will become new sage of 6 paths?
is it possible that itachi gave some uchiha dna with his crow?
after activating (the crow) in the battle against itachi, does the crow come back to narutos mouth? i dont remember..
also, do you think its possible to combine sage mode and kurama mode, but not like "im in kurama mode and my clone is in sage mode" but both.. something like biyuusennin mode (aka ultimate mode ).
also, does it state anywhere that naruto is a first born son? is it possible that karin is his sister or something?
If Naruto does have one I hope it's something new Naruto is already as fast as the 4th was now anyways. & the Rinnengan is to over used now & isn't that special anymore so I don't want him to get that.
Flying Thundergod isn't really a bloodline limit, because Minato actually taught that skill. It's the tech used to transport Tsunade and A. I don't know how Naruto learned it so quickly though, if his fast speed is even the same tech, or simply a new one that resembles it.

About the Program
Section 748 of NCUA's Rules and Regulations and Letter to
Credit Unions #02-CU-12 specify the credit unions' security
responsibilities. If you have been the security officer for less than
three years or have been newly assigned, this is the webinar for you.
However, even if you have been the security officer for many years, this
is a great refresher on your position's requirements. If your
credit union hasn't established the position of security officer
and you perform the duties of Section 748 concerning robberies,
burglaries, and larcenies this is one program you don't want to
We will review best practices for the credit union security officer,
as well as those things the security officer should not do. Items of
