LastPass for Safari OS X 10.5+ beta released
To get it simply fire up Safari and go to https://lastpass.com/ and hit 'Get LastPass'; if you're new to LastPass you'll also need to create an account. You'll then need to fully restart your browser (Safari Menu Item -> Quit).
We've worked hard to try to add all the features available on our other platforms, and we're largely there. There are also a few unique to LastPass Safari features like if you customize the toolbar you'll see 2 other possible buttons: Fill and Submit and Form Fill for easier access to those capabilities. We still have a few notification preferences to add, and potentially a local vault and multi-factor authentication is currently disabled.
It does work with Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) but you must set Safari to run in 32 bit mode (Go to Finder -> Applications -> Right click on Safari and hit 'Get More Info' then set 32 bit).
LastPass for iPhone has benefited from this effort, and we're sending a new build to Apple's App Store queue tonight which has added Form Fill, Identity support, Offline network retries, local file writing, a password generator and more. Our commitment to OS X will also have us syncing your Keychain data soon too.
And before you ask, we've stared on Google Chrome and Palm Pre; they're next on the docket and will be completed soon.

The Safari plugin isn't working for me on Snow Leopard. I can confirm I am running Safari in 32-bit mode and I do already have the Safari adblock extension installed. Here is a screenshot of the message I get when starting Safari:ReplyDelete
Try and download again. I had the same error, they updated the code and is working now.
what about safari for windows?ReplyDelete
Safari for Windows doesn't have any way to get addons into it that we know of, as soon as they do we'll jump on it.ReplyDelete
First off let me say thank you. I have been waiting to see my favorite tool with support for Safari.ReplyDelete
My main use for a browser has always been Firefox, however, I have been wanting to migrate to Safari for a long time. This addition of Lastpass is definitely a huge step in that direction.
Thanks. great work!

Apple has released Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6), so it's just stupid to release LastPass beta that does not work with it. Running Safari or any other application in 32-bit mode is no answer. Any ETA for 64-bit LastPass?ReplyDelete
Joe, will you release a Safari plugin that will run in 64 bit?ReplyDelete
We'll release a 64-bit one soon -- we're already compiling the 64-bit version, just need a replacement for Input Manager which apple deprecated.ReplyDelete
Safari 64-bit support is out already. It worked with Snow Leopard before; you just had to change Safari to 32-bit mode, now you can change it back to 64-bit modeReplyDelete
Is there Yubikey support for Safari? I could not log in with my Yubikey protected account.ReplyDelete
We will be adding yubikey and sesame support to both safari and chrome in the very near feature.ReplyDelete

Joe, I'm a LastPass Premium user... Just curious if 15 months later, is there anything holding up the 64-bit version still? Perhaps you have a beta available at the least? Thank you. I'm looking forward to it still, trying to be very patient...ReplyDelete

I'm frustrated with LastPass, honestly. The multiple bars at the top of the Safari web pages asking me to Save Site, etc. Not one, but two! Then the annoying issue of being unable to click on a button such as "continue" or the like. The browser just doesn't register. But without LastPass, no problem. I have no tolerance for add-ons the interfere with the way you work. Great to save passwords, but these other annoyances are too much to bear.ReplyDelete

Nintendo coughs to using Xbox, PS3 footage at Wii U event
All that glistens is not necessarily Nintendo, it seems, after news has broken that gameplay footage shown during its Wii U announcement was actually from Xbox 360 and PS3 games, rather than clips rendered by the new hardware. Various third-party titles were on show during the E3 event, from Ninja Gaiden 3 to Dirt, but with no …
I'm a big Ninty fan, always have been. But I am dubious/curious about this console (not rushing out to buy one, I don't have the time to play games really any more), but I'm definitely interested in seeing what it has to offer, and whether it really will compete with the XBOX and PS3.
Happy that they've done something different controller wise, always nice to have a different way to play console games, that's the whole point of consoles, to be interactive and fun so will be looking forward to more "actual" gameplay footage.
Zelda looks like it'll be pretty sick though!
1080p output doesn't mean anything
Both the 360 and PS3 have 1080p output too but usually use 720p (or less) because most games don't afford them the CPU / GPU budget or memory to let them go any higher. So the claim 1080p is utterly meaningless. What matters are the hardware specs, particular the CPU, GPU, memory and the bus connecting them all together. When those are know people can make a fair estimation of its likely performance.
It if turned out the Wii U had a 4ghz quad core CPU and a NVidia 9 series derived GPU one would expect the system to scream. If it turned out to be a bollocky 1 core hyperthreaded CPU with some off the shelf embedded GPU one could expect it to stink on ice.
The devil is in the details but Nintendo have hardly been known to push the boat out in the past. Usually they ship extremely lacklustre hardware and coast on a gimmick and the indication is they intend to do the same this time. It looks like the controller is half a DS XL screen attached to some controls with something equivalent to the PS3's remote play to enable the screen to mirror or augment the TV's main screen.
I expect the console will have "just enough" processing ooomph to exist on the same tier as the 360 & PS3 and share title ports and that will be that. Which would be fine if the thing came out 5 years ago but it isn't. It will be appearing at about the same time that the next generation of consoles appear.
RE: 1080p output doesn't mean anything
"It will be appearing at about the same time that the next generation of consoles appear"
From the final paragraph of the article:
"If reports are to be believed, [Microsoft's and Sony's] respective follow-up machines will probably surface around 2015"
2015 is too far away. The PS3 turned up 6 years after the PS2. The PS3 will turn 6 next year and the 360 will be 7. I expect both Microsoft and / or Sony will be announcing new consoles either in 2012 or 2013 at the latest.
Well it could also mean he doesn't know. My own belief is Nintendo get away with as low specs as they dare. With the exception of the Gamecube all their consoles have been underpowered including the recently released 3DS.
Clearly Nintendon't offering will be a poor-mans PS3, with poor-mans games too.
It a shame consumers just buy what they know (or what the media tell them). For example how many consumers know about ModNation Racers? How many know about MarioKart? Which is the better game? ModNation of course, by a VERY long mile.
Didn't you just get your PSN back or something?
I've played both, I own both(consoles and games you mention).... so why is it Mario Kart that gets the most play time? It's more fun (I couldn't put a finger on what it just is)
Why would a Wii consumer (generally not the "hardcore" players) know about modnation racers on the PS3 and PSP?
Oh they wouldn't as they have no need to unless they own both systems
Surely the better comparison would be between MarioKart and Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing.
Having played both (and having met the team behind SSR), I can say I much prefered SSR.
There's something else I'd love to rant about, but I'll have to wait until a future time as I don't want anyone sacked.
Mario Kart wins
Because it take far less skill to play, add to that the easy to use (though horribly inaccurate) Wii Wheel and anyone can pick it up and play. Once I finished unlocking everything I never went back to play as there just isn't any challenge left. Even my kids haven't played it in almost 2 years.
Sick of Nintendo
Oooh, another new controller. Big deal, you're still releasing yet another Zelda, yet another Metroid, yet another Mario. Innovation never sleeps at the big N, does it?
And finding out that they've been bullshitting people about the Wii 2's capabilities is hardly surprising. Too late though, all the fanboys and Guardian writers already believe them.
C'mon dude, you gotta be kidding me when you question Nintendo's ability to innovate?! So the games you listed come from existing IP - bit much to say that Nintendo don't innovate just based on that?! Until the DS/Wii all that changed between console generations was processing power. Nintendo's products may not speak to your particular interests but to say that they don't innovate just marks you out as ridiculously blinkered.
RE: Sick of Nintendo
"you're still releasing yet another Zelda, yet another Metroid, yet another Mario"
Is that so different from another Halo, another Killzone, another GTA, another Resistance, another Call of Duty, another Battlefield, another Medal of Honour...?
Just because the Nintendo IP franchises are older doesn't automatically make them inferior to your other cookie cutter games.
That is unfortunatly how things work.
You get your foot in the door at a handful of key sources, and all of a sudden the ball is rolling and the copy and paste journalism begins...
It's how Microsoft managed to sell 50m barely working consoles, and the media seemingly ignored it and focused on hating Sony instead. It's amazing what an unlimited advertising budget can buy you.
Surely Sony and Microsoft will have to counteract this
Either manufacturer could be the next Sega, I have no doubt Ninetendo has the power to support and promote it
It has an HD port, obviously it will have uber graphics. If the CPU uses logic this flimsy, expect electrical fires the moment they are plugged in.
More power Mr. Scott!
"But will it be really more powerful than the current-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft?"
Does it need to be?
The original Wii "won" the last round of the console wars, for many years if not overall, despite being laughed at by critics for its underpowered hardware.
Are people complaining that the Xbox360 and PS3 are looking underpowered and creaky these days? Not so I've seen. The new Wii need only match those consoles in power, while bringing a few new ideas to the forum. Then, once again, Nintendo can sell the new console relatively cheaply - competitively with the "so last generation" 360 and PS3, I'd imagine - and still make money on each unit.
@Raumkraut: Thumbs up
MS + Sony pay people to buy their consoles where as Nintendo _always_ make a profit on every unit sold. People often overlook that.
Plus, the graphics in PS3/xbox aren't exactly current gen. I'm sure 'tendo will easily match current tech in this.
So how many Wii owners felt like they "won"
If winning means enduring a cesspool of shovelware, shoddy PS2 ports, gimmick controllers and a console that gathers dust in the cupboard then yes the Wii won.
"The original Wii "won" the last round of the console wars"
Errm, just because Nintendo are bailing out halfway through does not make it the end.
Clearly PS3 has another 5 years yet, and I guarantee it will have outsold the Wii by then....
EPIC FAIL, that someone clearly thinks the first one to quit is the winner...
Uncharted 3 says hi
As clearly the PS3 is still kicking out graphics that lead what anything else can kick out currently by a VERY long margin.
i think...
i think nintendo threw the towel in on the wii as there was no money left in games sales since the console was Über pwned by the hacking community.
the hacker now has total control over the console to the point that the system rom is more or less run in a virtual machine, if Nintendo update it, then on next reboot its back to its hacked condition.
you can copy your games disks onto an external usb hard drive and play the game without the original disk...
the upshot is that game developers will now only make minimal money back from the investment and may not even break even.
The ability to secure a platform is probably higher on Nintendo's must do list than producing a few rendered videos of game play for the announcement that a new console is on the way !
Drink up me 'arties yo ho !
Surely the DS "won" this round by becoming the quickest selling console in history? With its massive number of iterations, it's even sneaking up on the title of most sold console in history too!
@ So how many Wii owners felt like they "won"
Any Wii can be hacked with an SD card and a version specific file/game. You can then enable the ability to play games (that you copy from your legally owned disks) from a USB drive. You can also enable region bypass so all those jap/us only games that can be imported can be played on your standard UK wii :D
That sounds like a win to me.
I have all 3 systems and the Wii felt like the biggest win and biggest disappointment at the same time.... pretty much like the Wii U
Not a good sign
That he's highlighting 1080p output. Scaling the resolution is the easiest thing to accomplish, doesn't necessarily mean that game will look as good as a 1080p game on the ps3 or xbox360 however, nor does it mean the graphics will look any different than current Wii games with the resolution scaled up.
Big honcho at megacorp X lied!
Well hold the frontpage Sherlock! Well blow me, next you'll be telling me that bears can't use the facilities and have to look for more local amenities!
I keep seeing this quoted but I can't figure out how people are arriving at that date, can someone please clarify.
Playstation - 1994/95, PS2 - 2000, PS3 - 2006/7, by my calculations that makes PS4 due next year if they stick to the 6 year generation gap.
10 year cycle this time
Sony and MS have said that they are aiming for a 10 year console cycle this time around... probably due to how much they've lost on the hardware so far.
Nintendo are being nintendo and doing their own thing, when they want and how they want
10 year cycle?
But it was always a 10 year life cycle. They didn't stop making or selling the previous one for years after producing the new one.
10 year console cycle
Sony do have a 10 year console cycle. Doesn't mean the new console is introduced exactly 10 years after the last one though. Normally there is overlap as can be seen from the PS2 which lived on fairly successfully even several years into the PS3's life. Microsoft killed off the XBox a lot faster (by discontinuing production and sales of the old console) but there was overlap there too.
but they have stated that they won't introduce a new console for approx 10 years from PS3 release date.
I'm pretty sure MS killed the Xbox dead as soon as the 360 came out. I vaguely remember a stink about game developers not being allowed to release NEW xbox1 games after the 360 release date.
New consoles 2013 at the latest.
You read it here.
Please can we have some new ones? The current crop are feeling very arthritic right now.
Chances are Nintendos news this week will bring the release for Sony and MS a lot lot closer.
Note to MS, just dont go skimping on the heat testing this time okay!
It wasn't skimping on testing.
They knew is was broken when it shipped, but they didn't really care too much about it, getting consoles in homes (even broken consoles) was more important than delaying the launch.
Why? Because one someone has signed up to Xbox Live for a year, and then bought games, they are locked in. Microsoft knew that after 4 years of Xbox Live fees, the cost of replacing that broken console with a slightly better partially working one that MIGHT last to the end of the warranty would have been made back up.
You might want to read all of that to fully understand how little Microsoft really cares about it's gaming customers.
Not you again?
Dammn Steve, will you just f-off already? Every time there is an article up about rival games machines, you come on here saying how amazing Sony is and how shite everyone else is. It's boring.
I suggest you remove that Move controller from the place we all know you have it stored and take your petty, predictable, Sony love elsewhere. Otherwise, I'll tell them you're not doing your job properly and everyone can see through the ignorant bias.
BTW, I have a PS3 and I love it. You're doing the company a disservice because people like you actually make me want to spite Sony really.
Looks like it was skimping on testing...
The link you gave has this gem in it:
"The problems began before the Xbox 360s got to the market. The testing machines were not ready, and the battery of tests that they ran were not fully developed. That meant that the testing machines would inspect the Xbox 360s coming off the line and approve them for shipment, even though there were likely flaws."
Of course
Will the new console be more powerful than tech that is seven years old?
Err, yes, obviously.
It might not come with in a mile of whatever MS and Sony do next, but they'll have 2-3 years on them.
Hmm, Seems Ninty just got trumped.
As the PS3/Vita combo will likely already do all of this, 6 months sooner too, and at a lower cost (with the advantage both can be used separately too...)
Hang on, that Bird video was definitely from the Wii U.
It's "glisters"
...that is all

Not actually! Once you have the main folder setup in no time any new shortcuts can be dragged right into it from the desktop with any Windows Explorer window open. You can even drag them right upto the one visible icon on the task bar being the first item on the quick launch to see that added in immediately.

Windows 7 Build 7100
Oh yeah, once it's set up it's fine. I just think that they should have kept it there (as a standard toolbar) from vista, coz it's been around forever. I wouldn't have minded so much if you can just turn it on or off. You shouldn't need to create an entirely new toolbar and put in some convoluted file address.... imo...

Windows 7 Ultimate x64, XP Mode, W8.1 Preview VM - 7 Pro x64 second remote tower
Since I wasn't able to attach those before the two images show how simply dragging the recycle bin icon right upto the position will see a new shortcut added. Not shown there however is a very small message prompt asking to add shortcut to Quick Launch. The second shows how that went.
The main reason it was eliminated from the 7 taskbar makes sense in that you can simply drag just about any desktop item right onto the taskbar without fuss.
On XP and Vista the quick launch bar was rather limited once filled with tiny icons while you can pack a large number on the new version for that and still see them retain size. Just take a look at how those appeared on the Vista quick launch once I filled that up with several seen in this image.

windows 7 ultimate x64
talking of things dissapearing after reboots, my terminal font dissapeared.
Here is a quick launch of mine, 16 icons and barely any space used on my taskbar.
this is XP by the way, and notice how slim the theme is and how tightly packed icons are together around the system tray also.
What I dont want on my taskbar?
1 - I dont want launch icons merged with running icons, so if I open IE on the docking system, I then have to click the app on the taskbar to launch a 2nd instance, very bad.
2 - I want my launch icons seperate from the running icons.
3 - I want no text on my launch icons but I do want text on my running icons.
4 - I want to be able to choose the order of the running apps on my taskbar, to be fair you cant drag around in xp and vista but a 3rd party makes it work well, how microsoft have managed to avoid allowing this by default is baffling, it seems such an obvious feature.
5 - I want tightly packed icons, there is tons of big inefficient gaps between icons in windows 7.

With the add on of a new toolbar you would be surprized at how much can be absorbed from the taskbar to start with. The only text visible when adding a new bar is the first item where you simply right click on that to uncheck the show text and show title items.

Hurray Normality has Returned!!
Thanks for this fix it worked wonderfully.
IMHO I found the new method of pinning icons to the taskbar irritating and prior to finding this fix I had unpinned everything from the taskbar and relyed upon the startmenu for all the programs I usually keep on the QuickLaunch menu.
It is not that I don't like to try new things, and may in the future find a use for this new taskbar pinning thing (possibly), but I must say that I think it a mistake that SIMPLE options are not available in order for my PC to look and behave like MY PC.
By all means explore and develop new things, if they are good people will want them and use them, but shouldn't the choice be with the consumer not the manufacturer when it comes to choosing what the customer wants???
In all seriousness I really hope that windows seven does well when it is properly released, but is it too much to ask for a simple right click choice available on the taskbar in order for people to choose a toolbar which they are familiar with?
Thanks again for the fix

The items I see pinned on the taskbar ironically are only those most frequently used with a few exceptions.
For the occasional but not daily used items why clutter the desktop or taskbar? Have any stand alone utilities like Core Temp whch don't create anything for the Start>Porgrams? Once you create a new desktop short drag into the folder used for the new quick launch!

You're welcome JaJa, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You can also pin another folder of your choice to have multiple Quick Launch like items on the taskbar if you like to.

Actually I have three of them already one for the recycle bin as well as one for some games kept separately from various others like system tools I created short cuts. Some of them on the first image will look familiar as a result of other tweaks.

I am happy that my Windows7 taskbar now looks like it did in Vista & XP, with the added addition of an 'option' to pin things to the taskbar if I wish.
The items I have 'on show' in my QuickLaunch Menu are those I use most frequently, the occasional programs I use are hidden behind the arrow which extends my QuickLaunch menu.
For any other program (i.e. ones that I almost never use) I open the start menu and type in a key word which most always finds the program wanted with very little effort.
My setup works very well, and takes up only a very small part of the taskbar on the left in the same fashion as Vista or XP, which I find very uncomplicated and neat.
I am intrigued by my new found ability to pin things to the taskbar, and as I said in my previous post I may yet find a use for it (I am not opposed to new things). However my first impressions of the 'Windows7' taskbar were not favourable and I have to say that I agree with the comments/observations that "chrysalis" has been making.
Never the less my biggest grumble is not that I prefer one style over another but that the options to change between have not been made easy. In short I had to find this forum and follow through this unnecessarily complicated "fix" in order to make my machine work the way I wanted it to.
It is always good to have new ideas and the pinning things on the taskbar for me may yet have its uses.
However it is a BIG mistake to take away peoples options and this "fix" (which is easy for me) will no doubt confuse a lot of people who want to return their systems to the normality which I & they prefer. My prediction will be (if things go unchanged) that many people won't like 'Windows7' simply because they don't like the new taskbar & thus sales will be affected (which would be a shame).
I would say that a simple right click on the taskbar to open up an option to reinstate the QuickLaunch menu would appease many unhappy with the new ideas.
Upon reflection I consider that, if a simple option to return to a familiar look had been in place from the start this whole forum dialogue probably would never have needed to come into existence.
But hey this is only the 'Release Candidate' and I guess you need such feedback in order to make the changes needed.

Notes on Post-war Food Problems
IV Food Price Control
The control of food prices during the present conflict has been so successful that it has passed almost unnoticed by the general public. But to anyone who cares to consult the history of the last war the immense benefit derived from price control will be evident. Throughout the first world war there were continual disputes arising out of the ever-mounting cost of living. In this war the stabilisation of the cost of living has contributed greatly to that national unity which has been one of the principal factors in the successful conduct of the war.
Stabilisation of the Cost of Living
As the attached chart shows, in the first world war the Cost of Living Index rose almost continually. At the end of the war living costs were more than double what they were at the beginning. This rise, moreover, continued during the period of post-war inflation in spite of belated attempts at control. The Cost of Living Index at its peak at the end of 1920 stood at more than 2 1/2 times the 1914 level. Deflation followed, bringing unemployment and widespread suffering; but even then at the end of 1923 the Cost of Living Index still stood at nearly 80 per cent. higher than pre-war.
The course of events this time has been very different. At the beginning of the war the Cost of Living Index rose rapidly but price controls were progressively applied and in April 1941 it was decided to stabilise the cost of living. As the chart shows, this policy has been effectively carried out. The Cost of Living Index has never risen more than 30 per cent. above the pre-war level. This does not mean that all living costs have been kept down as low as this, since the Index covers only the most important foods and articles entering into the cost of living. But the fact remains that instead of prices spiralling upwards, as they did during and after the first world war, they have this time been effectively curbed.
If this Stabilistation policy had not been followed, there would have been continuous applications for increased wages. Wages increases on account of price increases, never in practice keep pace with price increases. But the reverse of the picture is that if there are substantial wage increases, price stabilisation will have lost its main purpose, namely, to keep the whole price structure stable and to enable the country to enter the post-war period with a good chance to re-establish its export trade.
Methods of Food Price Control
Food prices make up more than half of the items entering into the cost of living. Approximately 90% of the foods bought by the average housewife are now controlled. The methods of control vary in detail according to the nature of the commodity. Broadly speaking though, much the same general methods are employed throughout. The Government purchases the food from home producers or from overseas and puts it into the distributive system at a determined price. To prevent this price from rising we have had recourse to subsidies on a large

"Have some fun with this audio, the producers did!" (AudioFile)
"The individual books are bookmarked"
Contrary to what a previous reviewer said, the individual books all have chapter markers so you can jump directly to a particular book if you know the chapter number.
"Great for the Road"
We downloaded this for a Thanksgiving week 1600 mile road trip with a four and two year old. I thought they wouldn't enjoy the stories without the pictures in front of them, but they couldn't get enough. Definitely helped to fill the time, and entertained the adults enough, too.
No, it's not a substitute for the books with pictures, but definitely worth it for travel. Also a good value for the number of books on this program.
"Your kids will love it!"
I bought this audiobook for a car trip to disney, but ended up using it daily. There are enough stories to keep them interested and the length is perfect for the longer errands around town.
I bought this (these) book(s) for ME! Used to read them to my children when they were younger than my grandchildren are now. Dr. Seuss is the Man! Good listening for all ages. You can't grow up until you understand all the messages he presents to be a better human being. I still listen...what fun is growing up anyway?!
"Good, but....."
The source material is unquestionably good; the readings are *mostly* very good; the music is intrusive, superfluous, and frankly, grating. Dustin Hoffman is the best of the bunch, showing incredible class and demonstrating that he is an Actor (capital A) even when reading "Horton Hears a Who". Not bad for a car trip, but you'll miss the pictures.
"Finding the Book"
It goes without saying the books are great but I don't care for the format. My son is four and knows which book he wants to hear. This format does not allow you to skip to a specific book.
Say something about Yusef. Uh...he was a great horn player?
"What is it with the music???????"
Why spoil great reading and a wonderful book with loud silly music throughout? Someone has been watching too much bad video. Dr. Seuss did not write this with background music.
"Great for the car"
My Daughter loves this in the car - keeps her quiet on long trips and therefore worth every cent.
Some of the stories are very well read by great readers.

No, but this is a great book for young and old children alike.
This is a great classic.
"A Classic Favorite..Even Better"
I didn't think Dr. Suess could be made better, this audio did just that!
This was a compilation of favorite stories, so there was something for everyone. Each story was read by a different celebrity. Dustin Hoffman reads Horton Hears a Who, etc.
I can't choose, I really can't. Although, How the Grinch Stole XMas is my favorite story, of all time!!
No, dole it out slowly. Listen to a couple of stories at a time, and enjoy.
"Great if you have the books"
A large part of the appeal of Dr Seuss books is the strange and fantastic pictures that accompany the rhymes. Obviously you are not going to get these with an audio book. I would therefore recommend this only once you have got the books. That way your child and you can really enjoy the thorough nonsense of the Seuss phenomenon.

IV. Gems
Meta Socket
EH - Austere Earthsiege Diamond: The 32 stamina on this meta is common to a few other meta gems, but the 2% armor bonus makes it the gem of choice for the EH set.
AV/BV/T/UH - Eternal Earthsiege Diamond: 21 defense rating isn't a whole lot, but if you need a little defense to get you over the cap, or you are already at the EH threshold for the content you're tanking, you can put this gem in your Avoidance helm, your block value helm, or your threat helm for that matter. The set that benefits the most from this meta will be your Anub adds "passive unhittable" set.
Blue Socket
EH - Solid Majestic Zircon: For a pure EH set, unless you have a stamina socket bonus you'll want to put this gem in every possible location (don't forget to include one red gem in your EH set for your meta to work).
AV - Enduring Eye of Zul or Regal Dreadstone
T - Guardian's Dreadstone
BV - Sovereign Dreadstone
UH - Thick King's Amber. You'll be using these pretty much exclusively for the Unhittable set, ignore socket bonuses and just stack defense for this set.
Red Socket
EH - Solid Majestic Zircon: again, use this unless there's a stamina socket bonus (in which case you can substitute a gem that matches the socket color and gives you 15 stamina + dodge or defense or whatever)
AV - Subtle Cardinal Ruby, Stalwart Ametrine, or Regal Dreadstone. The parry gems aren't going to get you anywhere.
T - Precise Cardinal Ruby or Accurate Ametrine are both great, also Guardian's Dreadstone or Resolute Ametrine if you are looking to add stamina or defense rating.
BV - Bold Cardinal Ruby: You'll be using your BV set on trash mostly, and you'll probably reach the 177 hit / 22 expertise caps easily, so stacking strength gems is the next best way to increase block value.
UH - Thick King's Amber. It's best to ignore socket bonuses and stack defense gems for your unhittable set.
Yellow Socket
EH - Solid Majestic Zircon: yet again, use this unless there's a stamina socket bonus (in which case you can substitute a gem that matches the socket color and gives you 15 stamina + dodge or defense or whatever)
AV - Thick King's Amber is the best, followed by Stalwart Ametrine and Enduring Eye of Zul.
T - Accurate Ametrine again, nice threat gem mentioned earlier for either a red or yellow socket.
BV - Anything with strength on it
UH - Thick King's Amber:
V. Enchants
I'm indebted to Veneretio for his great post on Warrior 3.0.8 Tanking Enchants. I've applied basically the same enchants he lists to the gear I've placed in the three categories (EH, AV, T). I've expanded on his work a little, but I'm not going to take credit for most of this section (no sense trying to re-invent the wheel anyway).
EH - Arcanum of the Stalwart Protector (Argent Crusade Revered):
AV/UH - Arcanum of the Defender (Keepers of Time Revered): technically more avoidance than the new tanking head enchant--if it's worth it to gain a little avoidance at the expense of 37 stamina, then use this. Unless you're trying to absolutely max out avoidance for some reason (read: unhittable set) it's best to stick with the Argent Crusade head enchant.
T - Arcanum of Torment (Knights of the Ebon Blade Revered):
BV - Presence of Might (Zandalar Tribe Friendly): Yea... kickin it old-school style. If you have one of these sitting around or you want to farm ZG to beat the boredom, you could technically still use one of these on your BV set.
EH - Greater Inscription of the Gladiator (30 stamina, 15 resilience rating):
AV/UH - Greater Inscription of the Pinnacle (20 dodge rating, 15 defense rating):
T - Greater Inscription of the Axe (40 attack power, 15 critical strike rating):
EH - Mighty Armor (225 Armor):
AV/UH - Titanweave (16 defense rating):
T - Major Agility (22 agility)
EH - Super Health (275 health):
AV/UH - Greater Defense (22 defense rating):
T - Powerful Stats (10 to all stats)
EH - Major Stamina (40 stamina):
AV/UH - Major Defense (12 defense rating)
T - Expertise (15 expertise rating):
EH - Heavy Borean Armor Kit (18 stamina) OR Glove Reinforcements (240 Armor):
AV/UH - Major Agility (20 Agility):
T - Armsman (2% threat increase, 10 parry rating):
EH/AV/UH - Frosthide Leg Armor (55 stamina, 22 agility)
T - Icescale Leg Armor (70 attack power, 22 critical strike rating):
BV - Presence of Might (Zandalar Tribe Friendly):
EH - Tuskarr's Vitality (15 stamina & run speed increase) or Greater Fortitude (22 stamina):
AV/UH - Superior Agility (16 agility):
T - Icewalker (12 critical strike rating, 12 hit rating):
EH - Blood Draining
AV/UH - Exceptional Agility (26 agility)
T - Accuracy (25 critical strike rating, 25 hit rating):
EH - Major Stamina (18 stamina) OR Titanium Plating (40 block value):
AV/UH - Defense (20 defense rating):
T - Titanium Shield Spike (45-67 damage on blocked attacks):
BV - Titanium Plating (40 block value):

Bookkeeping 101 for Genealogical Societies
Latest revision as of 00:02, 14 August 2013
Setting up an accounting system which meets the needs of your society and the requirements for federal reporting, need not be overwhelming. With a little organization you can whiz through the process. It is important to keep in mind that your society is a business, and if it has been granted nonprofit status you are required to provide financial information to the public upon request. The IRS suggests that one easy way to meet this requirement is to post a copy of your completed 990 return or your year-end financial statement on your society web site.
[edit] Reporting
A society board cannot make informed decisions on future spending without having an adequate understanding of current financial status. Reports should be prepared for every board meeting and in between meetings as needed. The basic reports needed for a society to function efficiently include:
- Statement of Financial Position [Balance Sheet]- This report shows the balances in bank accounts, the value of equipment and books, prepaid income, amounts owed in credit card charges, unpaid bills and loans as well as the equity position of the society.
- Statement of Financial Income & Expense - [Profit and Loss] This report shows all income and expenses during the period being reported on. A second column for year to date is helpful for seeing the entire picture.
- Budget vs. Actual - This report is a useful tool in assessing your position throughout the year. Most computer programs will create additional columns for percent of budget spent and actual amount over and under budget.
- Ledgers - Ledger reports provide itemization of any particular account as needed. This can be a bank account, an asset account [inventory, books] income account or an expense account. [A seminar chair might want a list of all paid attendees, a newsletter editor a list of all payments made for newsletter production.]
[edit] Compiling Information for Reports
While books can be kept by hand in a ledger book, in this computer age your society should seriously consider buying a good bookkeeping program. There are many advantages including: continuity in bookkeeping method, the ability to create historic reports, the ability to set up an audit trail, and much more.
There are many user-friendly bookkeeping programs available on the market. It is highly recommend that you get one that is able to prepare the types of reports mentioned above. In selecting a program look for one that allows you to:
- Set up and monitor budgets.
- Provide a true Statement of Financial Position [Balance Sheet].
- Use "classes." This feature makes it possible to track specific program income and expense without having duplicate accounts for each activity.
Backup your files regularly. Make sure that other society members have a copy of the file or backup. If the society has an office computer, the program should be loaded on it and the data updated on a regular basis.
If you are keeping books by hand, you should total columns at the end of each month or keep running balances of amounts in various accounts. Be sure that you have backup records in case something happens to the originals.
[edit] Organizing Your Paperwork
Set up a system – Create a File Box with sections for receipts, deposits, bank statements, cancelled checks.
If you are unable to continue as treasurer, will the society be able to easily retrieve all records? If the society has an office, consider filing there rather than keeping the records in your house.
Creating a good filing system will make it easier to provide the records for an audit at the end of the year.
- Deposits – attach bank receipt to list of deposited checks.
- Paid bills - attach a check voucher or write check number and date paid on each. If you are reimbursing a member for out-of- pocket expenses, use an expense voucher.
- Bank Statements should be reconciled as they are received. Attach computer reconciliation or write the date reconciled on statement.
- Keep the returned checks in numerical order in a separate section.
It is acceptable to scan bills and deposit slips and discard the paperwork. Keep the scanned files organized on your computer, back up regularly, and provide a copy to at least one other society member before you discard paper.
[edit] Taxes and Other Government Reports
Do you need to file tax returns? This depends on the status of your organization, which state you live in, the amount of money you collect in a year (not your profit) and whether you sell items.
- Status - Are you nonprofit? Has the status been approved by the IRS and any state Series Set IV Number 5 Page 3 Bookkeeping 101 for Genealogical Societies taxing board? If your gross proceeds are less than $5000 per year you do not need to file a 1023 with the Internal Revenue Service, but you do need to meet the criterion established by the government and be able to produce your records if they ask. If your society does not have nonprofit status, you will need to file the appropriate forms for an organization or corporation each year regardless of the amount of money earned.
- Federal Tax Returns – Starting in 2008 nonprofit organizations are required to file an annual informational return with the IRS. For most societies (those with an income under $25,000) the return is in the form of an e-postcard that just verifies the organization is still in existence. Those societies with income over $25,000 are required to file a 990 or a 990EZ. In determining which form an organization needs to file, it is important to remember that this is gross income and all doations to the organization need to be included. For more on IRS filing requirements and to access a library of useful publications and presentation materials, visit the IRS website at http://www.irs.gov and click on the nonprofit link.
- State Tax Returns – Each state will have its own filing requirements. The state of California has an informational return which must be filed each year with a small fee (although the fee is waived for nonprofit organizations with normal receipts less than $5,000). Some states do not have any income tax but they might have a Corporate informational form even so. The IRS website provides links to state taxing boards.
- Sales Tax - If your society sells items in a state that collects sales tax you need to apply to the taxing agency for a sales tax number. You will need to file a tax form periodically, with which you will submit collected taxes.
[edit] The Treasurer's Book
With volunteer jobs, we often find ourselves rewriting the book. Don't you wish that someone had made your job easy by creating a book that told you exactly what you needed to know? Be that "someone" for the person who will take over the job from you. A good treasurer's book should contain the following:
- A job description specific to your organization. What is the treasurer expected to do? Include items from the bylaws, the standing rules and the policies of your organization that apply to the treasurer's job.
- A fact sheet with:
- Federal EIN number.
- State corporation or other identification numbers.
- Sales Tax number.
- List of Bank accounts with all banking information and online access codes.
- Insurance policies.
- Include any other pertinent numbers such as membership numbers in other organizations.
- A job calendar listing what needs to be done and when.
- Recurring bills that need to be paid.
- Specific items for current contracts or activities that are not paid immediately upon receipt.
- Dues that need to be paid to other societies.
- Publication renewals.
- Reports that need to be filed.
- Tasks that need to be performed in a timely manner. For example, sending out dues notices or paying a contribution to the a specific annual charitable fund.
- Sections that hold copies of your nonprofit filings, prior year Profit & Loss and tax returns, copies of your insurance policies and other records normally associated with the financial picture of a society.
The treasurer's book need not be paper. It could be on a CD or the secure section of a website.
[edit] Audit
Every society should have an audit of the books at the end of each fiscal year. The board should set an audit schedule. The audit can be internal or external. The treasurer should provide all needed reports and copies of all paperwork in a timely manner.

Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- North Korea's nuclear test last month wasn't just a show of defiance and national pride; it also is advertising. The target audience, analysts say, is anyone in the world looking to buy nuclear material.
Though Pyongyang has threatened to launch nuclear strikes on the U.S., the most immediate threat posed by its nuclear technology may be North Korea's willingness to sell it to nations that Washington sees as sponsors of terrorism. The fear of such sales was highlighted this week, when Japan confirmed that cargo seized last year and believed to be from North Korea contained material that could be used to make nuclear centrifuges, which are crucial to enriching uranium into bomb fuel.
The dangerous message North Korea is sending, according to Graham Allison, a nuclear expert at the Harvard Kennedy School: "Nukes are for sale."
North Korea launched a long-range rocket in December, which the U.N. called a cover for a banned test of ballistic missile technology. On Feb. 12, it conducted its third underground nuclear test, which got Pyongyang new U.N. sanctions.
Outside nuclear specialists believe North Korea has enough nuclear material for several crude bombs, but they have yet to see proof that Pyongyang can build a warhead small enough to mount on a missile. The North, however, may be able to help other countries develop nuclear expertise right now, as it is believed to have done in the past.
"There's a growing technical capability and confidence to sell weapons and technology abroad, without fear of reprisal, and that lack of fear comes from (their) growing nuclear capabilities," Joel Wit, a former U.S. State Department official, said at a recent nuclear conference in Seoul.
Pyongyang says it needs nuclear weapons because of what it calls a hostile U.S. policy aimed at invading the North. An unidentified spokesman for North Korea's Foreign Ministry warned Wednesday of military strikes if the United States repeats recent test flights in South Korea of the nuclear-capable B-52 bomber.
The U.S., South Korea and others say North Korean brinksmanship meant to win aid and other concessions is the real motive. Even China, North Korea's most important ally, opposes its neighbor's nuclear ambitions.
North Korean nuclear sales earn the impoverished country money that can be pumped back into weapons development, analyst Shin Beomchul at the South Korean-run Korea Institute for Defense Analyses in Seoul said Tuesday.
Its growing capabilities could make North Korea more attractive to buyers, especially if it is determined that highly enriched uranium was used in last month's test.
Proliferation worries have ramped up since late 2010, when North Korea unveiled a long-suspected uranium enrichment operation. North Korea's first two nuclear tests, in 2006 and 2009, were suspected to be fueled by its limited plutonium stockpile. A crude uranium bomb is easier to produce than one made with plutonium, and uranium production is easier to conceal.
Little is known about North Korea's uranium program, but Washington and others are keenly interested in whether it is producing highly enriched uranium for bombs and whether uranium was used in the third test -- two things suspected, but not yet confirmed, by outsiders.
A nuclear test using highly enriched uranium "would announce to the world -- including potential buyers -- that North Korea is now operating a new, undiscovered production line for weapons-usable material," Allison, the Harvard nuclear specialist, wrote in a New York Times op-ed after the North's test.
U.S. officials have hinted that retaliation would follow should Washington discover North Korean cooperation behind any atomic attack on an American city or U.S. ally.
Pyongyang's nuclear transfers and any use of weapons of mass destruction "would be considered a grave threat to the United States and our allies, and we will hold North Korea fully accountable for the consequences," President Barack Obama's national security adviser, Tom Donilon, said last week.
U.S. officials have long tracked North Korean dealings in nuclear and weapons technology. Sanctions have cut down on missile sales, but Iran and Syria, two countries seen by Washington as rogue actors, may continue to be customers.
In November, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization proposed observing North Korea's nuclear test, the Japanese news agency Kyodo reported, citing an unidentified Western diplomatic source privy to Pyongyang-Tehran ties.
North Korea is believed to have helped Syria build what senior U.S. intelligence officials called a secret nuclear reactor meant to produce plutonium. In 2007, Israeli jets bombed the structure in a remote Syrian desert.
Japan's government said Monday that it has determined that a shipment believed to have originated in North Korea violated U.N. sanctions because it contained material that could be used to make nuclear centrifuges.

This morning I woke up to discover in my email a message passed from Thomas MacEntee who received a message from Julie Cahill Tarr, that FamilySearch has added a new database for Illinois!! No images yet but records are being added. If you have not seen it, as I had not yet, it is the Illinois Probate Records, 1819-1970. I cannot wait to check into this!
Another exciting find happened last night. I was searching online for more photographs of my cousin Robert Brouk, a member of the Flying Tigers, for the book I am finishing. I was so excited to discover the San Diego Air & Space Museum is digitizing its photography collection!! They have a collection on Flickr called AVG/China Collection. In that I found two wonderful photos of Robert and the photo of his squadron I have been looking for. Now all I need to do is fill out the paperwork to request photographs to use in my book. If you are interested in the American Volunteer Group, Flying Tigers, definitely check out this photo collection.

I think my boyfriend has an eating disorder. He doesn't eat for a whole day, and the next day he eats but he overeats and then throws it up. I'm worried and I want to help him.
- Nat*
Not everyone realizes that eating disorders can be a problem for guys as well as girls. It says a lot about you and how caring you are that you have noticed your boyfriend's eating patterns.
Eating disorders can be caused by a combination of physical and psychological problems, as well as things that may be going on in a person's life. Someone with an eating disorder almost always needs professional help to get back on track.
It's not always easy for people with eating disorders to talk about it. Start by telling your boyfriend that you're worried. If he seems open to talking, help him to feel comfortable by listening and letting him get things off his chest. Make it clear that you aren't judging or faulting him in any way. Reassure him that you're there for him no matter what and you want to help him get well.
Sometimes a person isn't ready to acknowledge an eating problem or needs more time. Try not to get angry or frustrated if it feels like your boyfriend is rejecting your help. People with eating disorders often have trouble admitting it — even to themselves.
People with eating disorders can get very sick if they don't get treatment. So you may need to talk to your parents or a school guidance counselor or nurse if your boyfriend doesn't get help.
Offering your support while he deals with these issues is often the best thing to do. There might be lots of ups and downs and it may help to ask your boyfriend if he's willing to get experts who work with guys with eating issues to step in. Whatever happens, you're bound to feel strong emotions of your own. Take care of yourself and reach out for your own support.

Drug of Choice
Sufferers have a hard time reining in their use of the Web, and typically spend unhealthy amounts of time online, to the point that it impairs their work or family life. Denied access to computers, Web addicts may experience withdrawal symptoms
-- CTV News, Discovery, and Fox News
I find this news so distressing, I immediately google "Internet Addiction." There are 40,000 entries, including a link to Wikipedia, where, I'm sorry to say, the data looks pretty darned solid. But I like to do my own due-diligence. I cross-check with NYTimes.com, Economist.com, and a guy who blogs from his basement in Omaha. The last vehemently disputes the findings of the other two. He suggests the truth is buried somewhere in Obama's birth records, easily accessible if we all don helmets covered in copious amounts of aluminum foil.
Continuing with the research, I post "Do you have an internet addiction?" to my Facebook Friends. I'm working through the 30,214 replies. The jury's still out, but most of them say "no." What a relief.
Except, I suddenly notice, among my Friends there are only 10 names I recognize, and I played dodgeball with half of them.
Now I'm on Amazon, looking up Cannabis. All things being equal, I figure I'll choose my own addiction. I've found 50 dealers -- 16 new, 28 used, and 3 collectable. At first glance, Amazon is more expensive, but they promise next day delivery. Plus, the second-hand markets sneak in lots of shipping and handling costs.
What's a body to do? Thank god for Yelp.

I think you should start a 12 step program for people addicted to the internet.
"My name is Karin, and I'm addicted to the internet." The first step on the road to recovery is to admit you have a problem.
What's good about this program is that after you have a meeting where you all sit around and talk about your addiction to the internet, you can go drink wine together.

When we're free of the internet addiction, let's raise a glass. (Make mine Bombay, splash of vermouth.)

If you get Amazon Prime you get free shipping on your addiction AND their idea of Netflix (addiction), all for $79.00 per annum. It's a deal of a steal.

I feel lucky to be old enough to have gotten all the way through college without computers. (Senior year in 1986 we thought the guy in our dorm who had a Mac was a total snob. He also had one of the first CD players, when only about 5 CDs existed. We laughed at him and listened to music via cassette on our Walkmen and boom boxes.) For me the computer is a cool and amazing tool (stream a movie! buy a plane ticket! video chat with my 8-year old nephew in NY!), but there's a lot I like to do that doesn't involve being online so it's easy to shut it off. That said, if you're going to serve wine at the internet addiction program, count me in.

WASHINGTON - A Maryland lawmaker is pushing to "put the public back into the Public Service Commission."
Maryland Delegate Al Carr introduced bills on Tuesday that he says will provide greater transparency of PSC proceedings. The PSC oversees utility companies.
One bill would require the commission to live stream their hearings, then archive them online for consumers to watch at their convenience. Another bill would extend the amount of time given to the public to weigh-in on rate-hike requests.

All designers hit a roadblock at one time or another. Few designers get those "dream" projects where they are allowed to create anything and everything they want. In most cases we all have to adhere to some restrictions.
After dealing with the same restrictions repeatedly it becomes very easy to get mired down in how the design problems have been previously solved.
I'm familiar with mood boards, idea books, and the like. However, these all seem to basically take the user down previously traveled paths.
What specific steps should one take in order to break out of current mindsets and expand horizons to look at a project in a fresh way?
Is there a processes you use to conceptualize something in a new manner?

18-year-old American Sam Querrey also accepts wild card
RCA Championships, June 29, 2006
INDIANAPOLIS… The RCA Championships filled two of their four wild card openings with a proven champion and a rising American teenager.
Two-time Grand Slam Champion Marat Safin of Russia and 18-year-old American Sam Querrey accepted wild cards to play in the 2006 RCA Championships, which will be held July 15-23, at the Indianapolis Tennis Center on the campus of IUPUI.
Prior to missing the second half of 2005 due to knee surgery, Safin captured his second career Grand Slam title in 2005 by defeating Federer in the semifinals and Aussie favorite Hewitt in the finals. Despite the season ending knee surgery Safin finished the year at No. 13 on the INDESIT ATP Rankings. He was a finalist at Halle and a quarterfinalist at AMS Cincinnati. Safin, currently ranked No. 87 on INDESIT ATP Rankings, didn't step back on the court until February at Dubai and is starting to regain his form.
"We are delighted that Marat requested a wild card to play in the tournament," said Tournament Director Kevin Martin. "He is extremely entertaining to watch and his current ranking does not reflect his talent. He is one of the elite tennis players in the world. Marat has been called the "future of tennis" and his two Grand Slam titles prove that."
He was a semifinalist at Valencia and reached the round of 16 at AMS Indian Wells. Safin, who held the No. 1 ranking for nine weeks in 2000, owns 15 career singles titles including the US and Australian Open Grand Slam titles and five AMS singles titles. This will be his first appearance in Indianapolis since 2001. He is 7-2 on the Indianapolis hardcourts and was the runner-up in 2000 (l. to. Kuerten) and a semifinalist in 2001 (l to. Rafter).
Before turning pro in May of 2006, the 6'6" Querrey from Thousand Oaks, CA had an outstanding junior career. He ranked as high as No. 10 in the world on the ITF junior rankings. His career highlights thus far include winning the USTA Spring International Championships and the Easter Bowl in back-to-back weeks. The aggressive teen reached the quarterfinals at the French Open Juniors and the round of 16 at the Wimbledon and US Open Juniors. He played in the 2006 AMS Indian Wells as an amateur and reached the second round where he took a set from James Blake, before falling 1-6, 6-1, 6-3.
About Querrey, Martin said, "I had the chance to see Sam play at the NASDAQ in March and could see the potential he has. We are always looking for young players that are on the verge of breaking out in their pro career. Sam appears to be there."
The RCA Championships is a world-class tennis event held annually in Indianapolis. The event, which traces its roots back to 1920, has hosted such notable players as Pete Sampras, Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick.
Tickets for the 2006 RCA Championships can be purchased by calling 800-622-LOVE or by visiting any Ticketmaster location. For more information please go to www.rcatennis.com.
German Olympic Medialist Returns to Indianapolis first time since 2002
RCA Tennis Championships, July 10, 2006
INDIANAPOLIS… The RCA Championships, which will be held July 15-23 at the Indianapolis Tennis Center on the campus of IUPUI, filled one of its final two wild cards with ATP Tour veteran Tommy Haas.
The 28-year-old Haas, who is currently ranked No. 21 on the INDESIT ATP Rankings, will make his sixth appearance in Indianapolis. His return will be his first since losing in the semifinals to the 2002 singles champions Greg Rusedski.
The German, who has been ranked as high as No.2 in his career, jumped off to a career-best 23-6 start in the first four months of action winning ATP titles in Delray Beach and Memphis. He is currently 30-12 on the year with four of those losses happening at the hands of No. 1 Federer in the semifinals at Doha, Halle, 4th round at Australian Open and the 3rd round at AMS Miami.
"We are excited that the Indianapolis fans will get to see Tommy for the first time since 2002," said RCA Tournament Director Kevin Martin.
"When Haas turned pro he was looked at carrying the torch for Germany after Boris Becker's retirement with the talent he has. Haas' ability has been tempered by an unfortunate string of injuries throughout his career but when he is healthy as he has been this season, he is considered one of the top players in the game."
Haas finished in the top 50 for the eighth time in nine years in 2005 highlighted by four ATP semifinals. In February he reached back-to-back semifinals in San Jose and Memphis. In May, Haas helped his native country to the ATP World Team Championship over Argentina by winning three of four singles and doubles matches.
Haas, who began playing the game of tennis at the age of four, is a product of the prestigious Nick Bollettieri Academy. In addition to capturing nine career singles titles, owning an 18-4 career Davis Cup record and being named the 2004 ATP Comeback Player of the Year, Haas won the singles silver medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
The RCA Championships still has one remaining wild card to award. "We are still pursing Andre Agassi, Tommy Robredo, Marcos Baghdatis or Donald Young to fill our last spot," said Martin.
The RCA Championships is a world-class tennis event held annually in Indianapolis. The event, which traces its roots back to 1920, has hosted such notable players as Pete Sampras, Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick.
Tickets for the 2006 RCA Championships can be purchased by calling 800-622-LOVE or by visiting any Ticketmaster location. For more information please go to www.rcatennis.com.
