So, I was wondering...
Okay, I want to find the pieces of information from the Fanbooks/Databooks. Is there any way to search, for example "First Fanbook", and get all the pages that have "First Fanbook" in their refferences?Patsoumas1995 (talk) 12:49, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
Movie jutsu?
Why aren't the jutsus from the movies added in the infobox? Patsoumas1995 (talk) 23:17, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- I think it's because movies are one of the least canon media for this franchise and they, like the games, tend to take a lot of liberties with the characters. So in order to get some level of streamline/uniformity they're omitted from the infoboxes.--Cerez365™(talk) 23:25, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
How can I search, for example, Naruto's jutsus from the movies (or the video games)? Patsoumas1995 (talk) 23:33, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
- In his infobox, you can click "jutsu" which will carry you to a drilldown of all his techniques. You can customise that page to search for all the jutsu from whichever movie it is that you want (I think) or you can just go to the movie's article and see the list of techniques.--Cerez365™(talk) 23:41, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
OK, thanks! Patsoumas1995 (talk) 23:48, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
Kekkei Genkai symbols
Would it mind if we would add the nature transformation or kekkei genkai symbols in the pages as well? I think it would add more flair to some pages, as they're quite empty (like Steel or Swift release, for example). Derigar (talk) 05:32, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Hi... So, I am starting a new wiki, a fanon wiki for the anime Magico, and I wanted to know how did you guys do that whole TagSync thing to obtain the infoboxes. Is it something manual or do I go somewhere and get it done?

why are episodes 257 - 260 of naruto shippuden repeats from the original naruto series? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 18:34, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
They are called "Filler episodes". As you have probably noticed each episode consists of several chapters, and they both come weekly. If the episodes followed only the main plot, it would come to a moment where there weren't more chapters to animate. Filler arcs are the necessary time for manga to escape the anime. Hope you understood. --Vecanoi (talk) 20:44, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
They are more likely "recap episodes" not filler episodes. —This unsigned comment was made by 126.96.36.199 (talk • contribs) .
I know the front page says: "Be warned that the wiki is filled with SPOILERS about the Naruto series, read at your own risk." but for example there's currently the Edo Madara picture in "new files" ... one could not read the manga and just look at a description of a technique for example, and spoil it all for him/her by seeing material and things that have not yet appeared/were not revealed in the anime. Should not we make some spoiler protection like information that's not yet portrayed in anime would be "hidden" under "spoilers" tag or something ?--Elveonora (talk) 00:21, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Links for Characters and Jutsu
I think we should change the links for the characters and jutsu part of the slideshow on the main page. To me, it would nicer looking if we linked it to an actual page. the jutsu one is obvious this one. I don't know if we have a good one for characters and the only one I can think of using is this but it doesn't have a link to any character pages like the one we already have. Joshbl56 19:02, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
- That could work. It's just a round-about way to end up at the same page though. The only issue is linking to the shinobi article when everyone in Naruto isn't a shinobi.--Cerez365™(talk) 19:53, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

- I think it would be a great idea to include both pre- and post-timeskip versions of characters on their pictures, utilising the tabs feature. Both the One Piece and Bleach Wikis on Wikia do so with their timeskips, and neither of the series are even divided into "parts" like Naruto is. I think it would more accurately portray the characters, while still being able to portray them as they were introduced. You could even default it to the Part 1 pictures, if it means that much to you. Just provide a tab to the Part 2 version, in addition.--ScruffyC (talk) 20:50, September 22, 2012 (UTC)

- It doesn't have to do with the image, but with the way the image is inserted in the infobox. For example, the Lava Release icon should appear twice in the Mizukage's infobox, once in the kekkei genkai field, and once in the nature transformation field. It shows up in the first, but not in the second. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:28, August 30, 2012 (UTC)

Character Tabs
so I have been seeing some people ask for the profile pictures of the characters to be updated to the Shippuden ones and they have been told no because you guys want the picture of when the character was first introduced so that everyone would know who it is which is understandable but my question is if maybe you could make like a Original Series Picture Tab showing them from the Original Series and then a Shippuden Tab showing there picture from Shippuden (or if you will a Pre-timeskip and Post-timeskip button) so that the characters can be represented in both forms in case the Shippuden form is more known than the Original for someone or whatever (I know the Bleach Wiki does this and I have seen a few other Wikis that do like a Pre-Timeskip and Post-Timeskip tab for there characters to show changes that have occured during the x amount of years that went by in the media [in this case 2 1/2 years]. to put it more simply (I know that was long and somewhat confusing) basically a tab that contains the original Naruto series Picture (like 12-13 year old Naruto) and then a Post-Timeskip Tab (featuring a picture of 15-16 year old Naruto) that way both forms are there in the picture section and people can change it at will to suit whichever form they are more familiar with. just a thought. Lordofninjas1 (talk) 23:23, August 31, 2012 (UTC)
- This wiki's said no to that for a while now. It's not going to kill anyone to scroll down a bit to see a "post-timeskip" image.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:33, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
can I ask why besides "it wont kill someone to scroll down to see the picture" that you wont do it because that doesnt really answer the question or say anything against it. it kinda seems like you are saying "we are lazy and dont want to do something that may take a little bit of time but will improve the site". I would like a legitimate answer to the question other than your proposed "we are lazy and dont want to do it" answer.
I am not trying to be or sound rude I am just stating an opinion.Lordofninjas1 (talk) 17:25, September 1, 2012 (UTC)
- So why there are Manga and Anime tabs, not just one image? It wouldn't kill anyone to scroll down a bit to see a Manga/Anime version... Falnin (talk) 19:50, September 3, 2012 (UTC)
- When the anime catches up to some event of the manga, we usually replace the manga image with the anime one. However, sometimes the anime does a botched job in showing something the way the anime did. That could be big things or small things. In those cases, we put both images. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 01:51, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
I agree with "Lordofninjas1" here; it wouldn't kill you to put tabs on! You could even default it to the pre-timeskip image, if it means that much to you. That way, characters could more accurately be portrayed, AND could be portrayed as they were introduced. It makes more sense, and both the One Piece and Bleach wikis on Wikia display pre- and post-timeskip versions of their characters! And those series aren't even divided into a "Part 1" and "Part 2" like the Naruto manga! --ScruffyC (talk) 20:49, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
- We're not the One Piece or Bleach Wiki. This is the Narutopedia. However, I have to agree that I can't see what the issue is adding both images, other than people being lazy. >_> --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | My Wiki | Channel 21:03, September 22, 2012 (UTC)
So, Lordofninjas1 and ScruffyC in the same way it wouldn't kill us to do that, would it kill you to scroll down the article to see Part II images? Because I've yet to see either of you answer that question regardless of whether or not the people here are lazy. I don't recall coming here to answer to every whim of a reader. It's called compromise: learn some. Next I suppose people will be asking for an image of how people look as Edo Tensei or maybe we should just chuck the child, adolescence and old age pictures up there too. God forbid Kishimoto does another time skip on us or even worse that people spend two second to scroll...--Cerez365™(talk) 11:28, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
- No, it doesn't kill me to scroll down. I don't even care about that. I already know what characters look like in Part 2. But I think characters would be more accurately portrayed if we included both. I just don't see why not. I can see why we SHOULD, and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't. Therefore... the pros outweigh the cons (if there are any at all), the way I see it. And if the pros outweigh the cons, I think the decision should be made. --ScruffyC (talk) 00:58, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Thoughts about jutsus and chakra natures
I wonder whether it should always be written, for example, that if one can use Wood Release, then he can use also Earth Release and Water Release; or, for another example, that Rinnegan bearers can use all of the five basic nature transformations (it was told in a myth, and the fact that the Bashōshen allows to use all the five basic nature transformations seems to tell us that the Sage of Six Paths could use all five natures only through it). I'd instead say "presumed" right near it, since the fact that one has what is required in order to use a technique doesn't mean he/she has learned to do it.--JOA20 (talk) 21:42, December 6, 2012 (UTC)
- To use an advanced nature, you need to use both the basic ones at the same time. Rinnegan allows you to use all basic nature transformations, but it doesn't automatically grants them, one must still learn to use them. Only the Sage, who discovered the mysteries of chakra, and Nagato, who was explicitly mentioned to have mastered them, are listed as having all basic nature transformations.

Malware detected?
Is there a reason that everytime I come to this site, Google Chrome gives me a malware warning?
Danger: Malware Ahead! Google Chrome has blocked access to this page on naruto.wikia.com. Content from us.bernerverein.ch, a known malware distributor, has been inserted into this web page. Visiting this page now is very likely to infect your computer with malware.
You guys should really look into this. As a result, I'm never visiting the site from my personal computer.--EnkiduV3 (talk) 21:50, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

That's a virus on your part reporting false viruses--Elveonora (talk) 22:30, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
I did some testing on my PC, all virus scans came up clean but I did notice something odd. The malware warning doesn't come up when I turn on adblocker. I usually have it turned off to support the streamers and sites that I visit frequently. This leads me to believe the warning could be reacting to an ad on this site.--EnkiduV3 (talk) 23:13, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
What Elveonora-shi said is probably right. I got a Trojan last year, that did the same thing to me. Trojans get into your security system and turn it against itself to get to your information and other personal stuff. They'll say that your system is clean but all the sites you're going to have viruses and stuff. I suggest you go to a professional to clean out your PC completely to get the Trojan out.220.127.116.11 (talk) 23:18, February 9, 2013 (UTC) Yomiko-chan
Reinstall your web browser, save up history/passwords/bookmarks, and let me know if it still lasts, also try to open this website with a different browser. If so, then get a better anti-virus software and perform a deep scan (takes hours usually) sometimes, you have to delete bastards manually, but they are either very well hidden or even invisible and it tends to say "file in use" when you try to remove it. Obviously, not even killing the system process helps in serious cases, as it begins anew. There are a few tricks tho, reboot your system in safe mode and as your operating system logs in but before desktop completely loads, open your task manager by pressing control+alt+delete and do it, afterwards, it should be possible to get rid of--Elveonora (talk) 23:37, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
Also if you're able to find out what the name of your Trojan is, you might be able to find a way to manually delete it on sites such as CleanPCGuide.com.220.127.116.11 (talk) 00:04, February 10, 2013 (UTC) Yomiko-chan
So I was wondering, when Orochimaru released the Hokages and his arms, didn't he also release Kuramas yang part, or did he acturly choose what he wanted to release? --Kasan94 (talk) 09:19, February 14, 2013 (UTC)

- This is a wiki, not a social networking site. The suggestion of adding the chat extension has been made and rejected over and over again in many places. If you read the forums, the wiki has had problems with people using this site like a forum, so this will never be added. --Speysider Talk Page | My Image Uploads | Tabber Code | Channel 17:01, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
The Naruto answers and DBZ wikia have it and it works well on both of those.

How about now? And Cerez, to say the truth, what I've done isn't an "entire overhaul", UltimateSupreme did the most. All I've done is give the homepage a better look.. And I see that SimAnt changed something in the latest chapter template, and now it looks good, doesn't it? The read more option is better than copying the whole summary/plot onto the main page. But I don't understand why it hasn't been done to the Template:Latest/Episode.. Teppei talk 13:32, 4/6/2013
I don't understand. [[Anime::Naruto: Shippuden]] is the only code that seems to be extra in the Template:Latest/Episode, but I believe that's not the cause of the problem.. Help SimAnt! Teppei talk 13:54, 4/6/2013

Mass of Unofficial Titled Techniques
There are too many unnecessary unofficial titled technique in the site. Every move, every action, everything in the manga or anime become a jutsu here. They are too many and no need for them. Everybody creates a jutsu page if he or she sees a new thing.
For example, "Remote Chakra Cloak Manipulation" what the hell is that ? All chakra cloaks made by Kurama and Naruto, of course he can manipulate them. It is chakra control ability and chakra control is a basic thing.
Another example is "Chakra Transfer Technique", it is also chakra control ability. Anyone who is able to control his/her chakra, can transfer chakra. [2], jiraiya says "placing their chakra into yours to disrupt the flow". I think, it is kind of chakra transfer. Or, Naruto helped chiyo to revive Gaara with transferring his chakra. "Chakra Transfer" article can be moved to Chakra Control article in Chakra page. Zetsu's part can move to Spore Techn., Dan Kato's part can be moved Spirit Transformation etc...
Jugo's attacks -> Sage Transformation page. Tailed Beast abilities (Telepathy, shockwave, arms, ink..) -> Tailed Beast Skills Chakra Sensing -> Sensor Type page A path's skills -> Path's page Chakra Enchanced strength -> Chakra control Many unnamed techniques can be moved. If it is only used by one person, it goes to person's page. It is filler or not, it doesnt matter.
And, many unnamed techniques like "Sage Art: Wind Release Stream", "Twin Rasenshuriken" (he just creates a Rasenshuriken for each hand, it is like Kakashi's double Raikiri against Kakuzu) no need for them.
It is just a suggestion to improve this site.--Salamancc (talk) 15:57, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
- "are the mystical arts a ninja will utilise in battle. To use a technique, the ninja will need to use their chakra. To perform a technique, the ninja will bring out and release the two energies of chakra. By forming hand seals, the ninja is able to manifest the desired technique. Because of the extensive number of hand seals and different combinations, there are thousands of potential techniques to be discovered". --ROOT 根 (talk) 15:59, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
Regarding those more generic abilities, we make the page because of how frequently they appeared. It's much easier to have one page where the ability can be listed and accounted for its differences than having it spread through several articles.

Gaara who was born in January was 15 and Naruto born in October was 15 according to the Shippuden Mini Databook on ShounenSuki's contributions page, which means ALL people were a year younger in the beginning of Shippuden and Naruto was 16 when he fought Kakuzu. Which means Sasuke was INDEED 15 when Naruto and him met again at Oro's base. 6 months after that Sasuke betrayed Oro and we then get all the Databook 3 ages. So the ages need to be added for the beginning of shippuden for the rest of people, not just Kakashi, Naruto and what not. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 23:09, May 29, 2013 (UTC)

- What site are you visiting? The only video game information that goes into articles in general is pretty much debut and which games a character is playable in, and the eventual video game user of a technique, and those are very clearly labelled, and they don't take up space. Video game plot and the like is limited to the game's article, and the game's character's articles. Pretty much the same with movies. We cover the franchise as a whole. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 00:40, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
- I believe he suggests us mentioning nothing non-canonical in articles, or something like having sections "unconfirmed history" and there pasting stuff from fillers, ovas and movies. Or the proposal by someone not that long ago, having it like Bleach wiki for example, categories "anime only characters/arcs/powers/locations/events" etc. instead of having to do it through "browse data-filter" I don't have problem with the latter at all, but for anime only content in articles, I don't like it either since it contradicts the canon. Best example is Anko, she was 17-18 when she left the village with Orochimaru and at least a Chunin, not that little girl shown in Land of Sea arc. Not to mention why and how it happened is also made up. Or Orochimaru wrongly commenting on Itachi massacring his clan in the anime, while it was yet to happen back then in the plot. Or even worse "liberties" like Omoi coming into possession of Kiba (swords) and Pakura being that Suna toilet paper girl's teacher, Naruto meeting Utakata among others.--Elveonora (talk) 12:22, May 31, 2013 (UTC)

It took us a real long time to even switch from the basic homepage we had before. Any way, that being said, I highly doubt the background and our logo are things that will ever change.

I was contemplating this for a while, recent discussions might have given me the push I need to see if this can work for us. We have a section that has Naruto Terms and so on, but what if we consolidate that into a glossary where we could include definitions of terms like vitality stamina life force, tenketsu and even Jashin and Shinigami instead of having them spread out in several different articles. It could be a point of reference (duh a glossary) for things like these. Thoughts?--Cerez365™(talk) 16:17, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

So, if you direct your attention to Mangahead, there is a "Raw" of chapter 643. However, it is poorly scanlated and actually translated in English. My question is, are we supposed to use those? To add info I mean, not images.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:40, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
- The untranslated 'raws' are at a blogspot called narutosaiyan. I'm not sure why the translated version would have the words in such low quality as well. I say we wait for better quality scans before adding any info, just encase this is fake or we can't read a part of it. Joshbl56 15:27, August 17, 2013 (UTC)
Obito's kekkaijutsu is (most likely) called 六赤陽陣 Rokuseki Yōjin, translating to Six Red Yang Encampment. That's all for this chapter, hm? Seelentau 愛議 02:44, August 18, 2013 (UTC)
- The chapter is now out in full on MangaDoom. ~ Ten Tailed Fox 03:26, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

Pleh wrote:Of course, what reason could Mako have to not initiate a relationship? Well, the real reason is because he's a coward. It's not a bad thing, it's just a sign of Mako's age and maturity. All men are either cowards or jerks when it comes to their feelings (especially towards women) and the mark of a true man is their capacity to overcome their overwhelming fear or pride, whichever they tend to have more trouble controlling. However, he won't realize this until much later in the show. The reason he tells himself that he won't pursue her is because he knows his brother Bolin is smitten with her and he doesn't want to break his brother's heart by stealing Korra from him. He's decided to let Bolin pursue her and so he tries to let his feelings for Korra go, but the process of doing this brings a maturity to Mako which starts to counter his natural cowardice, making him more into a man. Inevitably, Korra begins falling in love with Mako, and Mako, in trying to do away with his love by ridding himself of puppy-love feelings, winds up making room in his heart for a deeper kind of love which begins to grow. Bolin becomes jealous and there's a point at which it becomes painfully clear to all three what's happening, even if they don't understand or want it to happen. At some point, Bolin and Mako have to fight it out, because men don't understand their feelings very well and beating on each other is a primal, instinctive way men express their emotions with each other. Until they fight, the wounds that form in the brotherhood will not be able to heal, but after they bruise each other enough, they'll remember their love for each other and come to an understanding. Bolin will realize that he is being selfish and that Korra and Mako have a sincere love that Bolin only wishes to have and he'll step aside. By confronting Bolin, Mako will have overcome his fear of breaking his brother's heart and finally have the courage to express his love for Korra to her. Normally there is a complication at this point in the story, but there is currently insufficient data on the plot and the characters to determine what kind of complication should arise at this point. But I would hope that there WOULD be a complication, because after Mako decides to love Korra with all his heart, then he will have to pay the price for loving her, which is usually the price of fighting to win her love either by saving her from a villain, or pursuing her love despite her rejecting him, or sometimes that's when tragedy strikes and the girl is lost for whatever reason. Whatever the price he has to pay, after fighting his brother for her, he will have to pay that dowry and it will change who he is forever. That is character development, though, and so I fear that Bryke won't make Mako do anything to mature into the kind of man he needs to be in order to love Korra. Characters don't develop in Avatar. But that's how the story SHOULD go.

MOAH, Utah (KSL) -- A hiker has discovered a new collection of footprints left behind 125 million years ago by a number of different dinosaurs.
So far, the location is being kept secret. But the public may get a chance to see the tracks as soon as a few weeks from now.
"It's tracks of the past, really, and it's very cool to be trying to preserve that information," science writer and volunteer Allyson Mathis said.
Volunteers are sweeping, scraping and brushing the stuff that's hidden the tracks from view for eons.
"Over 200 tracks that we're aware of so far that we've uncovered," volunteer Lee Shenton said. "And at least one case where there's 17 consecutive prints from the same animal.
"I think it's going to be something really important. It has at least a dozen different animals."
For some of those species, scientists have never found a single bone they left behind.
"About 125 million years ago in the cretaceous," BLM paleontologist Rebecca Hunt-Foster said. "So it helps kind of fill in these gaps about these animals that we don't know much about, that we know were here, but we just don't find their bones."
An ancient crocodile dragging its tail apparently left a slash in the hardened mud.
A three-toed meat eater walked there too, similar to the familiar and frightening Utahraptor.
"That's the claw that had the big scary claw on it, like in 'Jurassic Park,' " Hunt-Foster said.
What Mathis finds fascinating about track sites is they "record behavior of dinosaurs in ways that the bones or body fossils cannot."
The volunteers are cleaning the exceptionally well-preserved tracks so the BLM can document them with 3-D photography.
"And then we'll be able to replicate any of the tracks, should they ever be damaged or destroyed," Hunt-Foster said. "And also people will be able to study them without doing damage to the actual surface."
It's a quirk of nature: footprints left in mud that hardened into rock, now giving humans a chance to connect with our ancient predecessors.
"It's pretty awesome to know that an animal walked right underneath where you're working and that these creatures were once living, breathing creatures that were all over the place," Hunt-Foster said.
The BLM is raising funds to build a trail to the dinosaur tracks. The agency hopes to have the site open to the public by October.

Please don't flame me as I'd love to find a way to make it work. I am 58 years old and disabled due to heart failure. I drive a lowered, 2002 325CI with a body kit and TSW 18" wheels (see sig) with less than 70K miles on it. I now understand why BMW calls their cars "The Ultimate Driving Machine". I love my Bimmer. I am a car guy who has restored many cars in my lifetime. Those days are behind me now. I have been a member of several Car Clubs in the past mostly Buick related. I have been in charge of our local chapter's very succesful annual car show and even had a couple years stint as chapter director. I have participated in National car shows as well. I bought my Bimmer to have a nice daily driver that sees little use and a lot of pampering. I have attended 2 local events here in Washington and found the crowd to be exclusively made up of 20 something kids who are very friendly but other than BMWs we have nothing in common. And they don't spend much time talking about their cars. I read my Roundel cover to cover every month and see many of the contributors have as much gray hair as I do so where are you hiding?

A few years back when the deeper waters and the shorelines of the Gulf of Mexico turned permanently cloudy, Mark Anderson stepped outside of the comfort zone he had known from childhood.
A successful general contractor and the son of a mining executive, Anderson in recent years has morphed into a leading activist to reduce pollutants in the Gulf of Mexico and congruently restore the Everglades basin. He still isn't all that easy in his new role -- inherently shy with a contagious boyish chuckle -- though he understands that stepping up is his duty as a civic leader, a father, a man aware of his generation's impact on the planet's health. A component of Anderson's new awareness is an addition in his business that focuses on refurbishing commercial buildings, reducing the carbon footprint, he said.
Anderson's move into advocacy has him deeply involved in committees and groups working to alert Tallahassee and Washington to southwest Florida water issues, moderating workshops, lending his time and considerable influence to force compliance with laws governing water usage. He recently chaired a San-Cap Chamber of Commerce event charged with finding a business solution to the Gulf water issue, perhaps coalesce southwest chambers of commerce into a voice to balance the powers of Big Sugar interests that control Everglades water usage.
Article Photos
He's even swapped a gas-guzzling SUV for an electric blue Nissan Leaf.
"It was not of my essence" to make change, said Anderson, who is 62 and president of Benchmark, a general contracting firm with a hand in many commercial developments in Sanibel and Captiva. The former Sanibel firm is now in Fort Myers. "But my daughter was an environmental studies major in Boulder. She sat in redwood trees, helped me understand the impact that we have on our planet. I bought into it. I knew what was happening to the Gulf was not right, that I needed to help the next generation."
For Anderson, the transition to civic-minded developer started with childhood visits to southwest Florida. His father was a successful mining executive in Ohio bringing his family to vacation at Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel. Some fifty years later, Anderson recalls Periwinkle Way as a dirt road with deep potholes. He smiles in remembering his father asking that he check the depth of the potholes because he was the only family member wearing flip-flops.
But what locked into Mark Anderson's memory banks were beach visits. He recalls looking to the bottom of Gulf waters, his eyes easily penetrating to the sand, marine life flittering about. Those memories disappeared as Florida's population soared. Lawn chemicals, agriculture, livestock farming, changes favoring agribusiness in central Florida, each have contributed to the amount of pollutants beavering west along the Caloosahatchee.
The real eye-opener has been summers in the last decade, when billions of gallons of upstream waters are released from Lake Okeechobee, creating a nightmarish bloom of greenish algae in the Gulf that choked off sunlight and nutrients, killing sea grasses and the sea life dependent on the natural food chain. Some 500 billion gallons were released last summer, blanketing beaches over four months with what amounts to pond scum.
The sudden upstream flush last summer devastated San-Cap businesses, creating a mess of the beaches, the marinas and the fishing, each worth millions in investment and tourist dollars. Resort owners, visitors and homeowners starting in May were greeted with windrows of dead sea grasses, poor water quality, metallic smells and other side effects that caused some tourists to swear off the region for vacationing, some resort officials reported. Gulf waters were affected through October.
"There is no silver bullet," Sanibel's Natural Resources director, James Evans, told the chamber group that Anderson in late May chaired. "We need multiple projects, east, south and west. The bottom-line is a cohesive game plan."
Anderson's Nissan Leaf isn't the only obvious shift in values. His business, too, uses renewable energy in his company's offices on McGregor Boulevard. He takes obvious pleasure in showing the water exchange device that uses rainwater to sustain the building. The excess rain is used to water a substantial garden on the grounds.
His business model, too, is involved in refurbishing and re-outfitting older structures. It's smart business, sure, but also fits into his worldview of lessening a business footprint as modern Florida continues to swell in population.
"Thank, God, that Mark understands the role the business community plays" in Gulf water issues, said Ray Judah, former Lee County commissioner and president of the Florida Coastal and Ocean Coalition, an advocacy group. "He's also a genuine soul, very upbeat. His central focus is our region's well-being. And for that, we can all be thankful."

Adobe RoboHelp software is an easy-to-use authoring and multichannel, multiscreen help publishing solution.
Using RoboHelp 10 –
- You can deliver content to iPad and other tablets, smartphones, and desktops using output formats such as multiscreen HTML5.
- Working in multi-author environments using next-generation collaboration and review features.
- To personalize and optimize content for relevance and search.
- Easy development of context-sensitive help with usability enhancements.
Adobe RoboHelp 10 supports output formats as shown in graphic below:
The help author has to concentrate on the content and need not to worry about different output formats as it would be handled by RoboHelp itself. They have to simply select the output formats and generate with required options.
How to change default Language setting?
RoboHelp 10 is shipped in English, French, German and Japanese locales but the help can be generated in many more languages.
Help authors many a times face such scenarios when they have to generate the output in multiple locales.
When you create a new project the default Project language is same as that of installed RoboHelp.
This implies that the same language is used by RoboHelp to show any text/LNG Strings in the output apart from main authored content spelling checks, and dictionaries and in generating smart indexes. Besides help content there are a lot of default text elements in output runtime user interface of help systems like table of contents, index, glossary, search, no results found etc. This is a big list of such strings which can be there in any help system commonly called LNG strings.
But if you want a different language for these then use can select it from the Project settings dialogue. For example if you are using French RoboHelp and want Spanish language settings then you can go to "File > Project Settings" and select Spanish from the Language dropdown. Refer to image below:
RoboHelp provides fine control over language setting and besides project users can define language for a particular topic or even for a particular paragraph.
To change language setting of a topic open "Topic Properties" dialog and change the language from dropdown in "General" tab.
For changing the language for a particular paragraph open the "Paragraph" dialog and define new language from here.
Language defined at the paragraph level takes precedence over language defined at a topic level. Language set at the topic level takes precedence over language defined at a project level. Language defined at the project level can never take precedence over language defined at paragraph level. If multiple languages are defined at the project, topic, and paragraph level then the effective language as per the precedence is used for dictionary or thesaurus association and for spell checking.
Users can change this default language to following 36 languages:
Bulgarian(Bulgaria), Catalan(Spain),Croatian(Croatia), Czech (Czech Republic), Danish(Denmark), Dutch(Netherlands),English(UK), English(US), Estonian(Estonia), Finnish(Finland), French(Canada), French(France), German(Germany), German(Switzerland), Greek(Greece), Hungarian(Hungry), Italian(Italy), Japanese (Japan), Korean (Korea), Latvian(Latvia), Lithuanian (Lithuania), Norwegian Bokmal(Norway), Norwegian Nynorsk(Norway), Polish (Poland), Portuguese(Brazil), Portuguese(Portugal), Romanian(Romania), Russian(Russia), Simplified Chinese (China), Slovenian(Slovenia), Spanish(Spain), Swedish(Sweden), Thai (Thailand), Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Turkish(Turkey), Vietnamese (Vietnam)
So it is interesting to note that while we are localizing Adobe RoboHelp in 3 languages, we are enabling our users to create help with ample support in 32 more languages.
Going a step further -> Editing LNG strings for customized needs
While as part of RoboHelp localization we provide LNG strings in 36 languages, users can also modify these strings for any language to suit their needs.
The LNG strings can also be edited for any customization needs. This can be done from File > Project Settings > Advanced button > LNG file tab
All the strings are listed in the LNG File tab under different sections like WebHelp, AIRHelp etc. The desired string can be edited by selecting and clicking on Edit button. In this way help authors can also edit the LNG strings to customize existing strings.
How to create multilingual WebHelp from RoboHelp?
- Create a project in RoboHelp.
- Create separate topics for each language.
- Create separate table of contents from above topics for each language.
- Also create separate index and glossary for each language
- From the Single Source layout (SSL) pod open the WebHelp and click on content categories.
- Create new categories by clicking on New button and rename it after any particular language.
- Each content category is now shown as a separate language. Select it and set the language specific Table of Contents, Index, Glossary and language.
- Now generate WebHelp and open it in browser.
- Select any particular language from the category dropdown.
Please note that the system you intend to open the localized help should have the locale specific code pages installed.

I've been using emacs-muse during several years now to keep a personal knowledge base in the form a local wiki. To me, the killer feature of emacs-muse is its ability to create links to other documents, mails, URLs or any other resource accessible via Emacs (which is to say, virtually any resource). Combined with planner mode, one has a pretty good PIM system that, among many other virtues, is based on plain text files (and, therefore, is easily indexable) and is as portable as Emacs itself.
Emacs-muse is pretty neat, but not perfect. My main quibble with it is that it's a major mode. That means that, in order to create a link to other resource, you must be in a 'muse' document (a sort of wiki page). But wouldn't if be nice if you could create links in any document. Say you're writing source code an want to reference another file in the project, or an HTML page detailing an API you're using, or a PDF with your projects requirements. Or you're writing an essay in LaTeX and want to link to a text file of related notes, or an email, or… you get the idea. What I'm asking for is, in emacs parlance, a minor mode providing the linking functionality.
As it often happens in the Emacs universe, my prayers have been heard. Linkd is exactly the package i wanted. In the words of its author, David O'Toole, "linkd-mode is a hypertext system for organizing and interlinking all resources available to GNU Emacs. It can be used to make a "personal web" out of all your text files—regardless of file format or major mode." In addition, linkd trims off some of the features I rarely use in emacs-muse, namely, the publishing functionality.
Although still in alpha, linkd looks already pretty good, with such niceties as proxy icons in links, as shown in this picture:
Other interesting features of linkd include its ability to mark blocks inside any file that can be link targets, and its tagging functionality. In addition, the list of planned features (searching and indexing, summarize, synthesize links a la remember-mode) makes linkd a package definitely worth exploring and keeping an eye on.

VM::EC2::SecurityGroup::IpPermission - Object describing a firewall rule in an EC2 security group.
$ec2 = VM::EC2->new(...); $sg = $ec2->describe_security_groups(-name=>'My Group'); my @rules = $sg->ipPermissions; for my $rule (@rules) { # each rule is a VM::EC2::SecurityGroup::IpPermission $protocol = $rule->ipProtocol; $fromPort = $rule->fromPort; $toPort = $rule->toPort; @ranges = $rule->ipRanges; @groups = $rule->groups; }
This object is used to describe the firewall rules defined within an Amazon EC2 security group. It is returned by the VM::EC2::SecurityGroup object's ipPermissions() and ipPermissionsEgress() methods (these are also known as inbound_permissions() and outbound_permissions()).
$protocol = $rule->ipProtocol Return the IP protocol for this rule: one of "tcp", "udp" or "icmp". $port = $rule->fromPort Start of the port range defined by this rule, or the ICMP type code. This will be a numeric value, like 80, or -1 to indicate all ports/codes. $port = $rule->toPort End of the port range defined by this rule, or the ICMP type code. This will be a numeric value, like 80, or -1 to indicate all ports/codes. @ips = $rule->ipRanges This method will return a list of the IP addresses that are allowed to originate or receive traffic, provided that the rule defines IP-based firewall filtering. Each address is a CIDR (classless internet domain routing) address in the form a.b.c.d/n, such as 10.23.91.0/24 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing). The "any" address is in the form 0.0.0.0/0. @groups = $rule->groups This method will return a list of the security groups that are allowed to originate or receive traffic from instances assigned to this security group, provided that the rule defines group-based traffic filtering. Each returned object is a VM::EC2::SecurityGroup::GroupPermission, not a VM::EC2::SecurityGroup. The reason for this is that these traffic filtering groups can include security groups owned by other accounts The GroupPermission objects define the methods userId(), groupId() and groupName().
When used in a string context, this object will interpolate the rule using the following templates: TCP port 22 open to any host: "tcp(22..22) FROM CIDR 0.0.0.0/0" TCP ports 23 through 39 open to the two class C networks 192.168.0.* and 192.168.1.*: "tcp(23..29) FROM CIDR 192.168.0.0/24,192.168.1.0/24" UDP port 80 from security group "default" owned by you and the group named "farmville" owned by user 9999999: "udp(80..80) GRPNAME default,9999999/farmville"

HOUSTON - A Taiwanese-owned "super skimmer" ship sent to help clean up the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has collected virtually no oil in two weeks of tests, a U.S. Coast Guard official said Friday.
"All we found in the tanks was water, so it was very ineffective," Coast Guard Rear Adm. Paul Zunkunft, federal on-scene coordinator, told a news briefing.
The 1,115-foot "A Whale," an ore and oil supertanker refitted for skimming, was sent by TMT Shipping Offshore to help clean up oil spewing since April 20 from BP Plc's blown-out Macondo well.
U.S. & World
The vessel arrived the first week of July in search of a contract with BP and began undergoing tests, which were hampered at first by bad weather. Conditions have since improved, and the tests have continued.
"The results are the amount of oil recovered by the A Whale is nil," Zunkunft said.
He said the vessel will not be deployed as a part of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.
"While its stature is impressive, A Whale is not ideally suited to the needs of this response," Zukunft said.
TMT billed the ship, which skims oil through horizontal slits on its sides, as a vessel that could collect up to 500,000 barrels of contaminated water per day.
The company defended the performance of its vessel and said the large quantity of dispersants poured into the water near the source of the spill made skimming difficult.
"The particular conditions present in the Macondo spill did not afford the vessel the opportunity to recover a significant amount of oil," said a statement by Bob Grantham, spokesman for TMT Offshore.
"This is due to the highly dispersed nature of the oil in the Gulf. When dispersants are used in high volume, virtually from the point that oil leaves the well, it presents real challenges for high-volume skimming," Grantham said.
The company would continue to work with the Coast Guard to improve its technology, he said.
Zunkunft said part of the challenge for the A Whale was maneuvering a large vessel to pick up scattered patches of oil, many no larger than a kitchen table. It also was not equipped with suction but let oily water in the slits as it sailed.
"The A Whale will probably need further modifications, and it may need a different type of oil spill, where you have thick, heavy oil that is concentrated in order to be effective," Zunkunft said.

"The Panick has destroyed business"
John P. Pleasants and Sons to Benjamin Franklin Gravely, December 17, 1860, Gravely Family Papers, Acc. 34126, Library of Virginia.
John P. Pleasants and Sons, a mercantile house in Baltimore, informed Henry County merchant Benjamin Franklin Gravely that the unsettled political situation in the country had created a financial crisis because banks were unwilling to extend credit to businesses or to accept at face value notes drawn on other banks. Three days before South Carolina seceded from the Union, Pleasants wrote that he regarded "the present aspect of political matters as more unpromising than they have, heretofore, been, but he cannot think otherwise than that some adjustment will be effected." Many Virginia merchants and tobacco dealers had longstanding business relationships, such as that between Pleasants and Gravely, with firms outside the South.

How do you run a game like that without turning it into a load of book keeping?

Thanks Mach for the additional perspective, although the old-school intended style is very much what I'm going for.
I've adapted Wouter's tracking sheet and feel I can pretty comfortably manage time/resource management with that now. I've read the various editions, and bought a soft bound copy of WB: FMAG (cause at $6, why not?). I'm very much leaning toward using those rules, although I own quite a bit of Frog God Games modules now and those all seem to be intended for Complete rules.
Anyway, at this point I just need to convince my gaming group to give it a try.

Message Filters
From MozillaZine Knowledge Base
Revision as of 09:17, 23 July 2008; view current revision
←Older revision | Newer revision→
Message filters are useful if you routinely want to perform certain actions on messages, according to criteria that you've specified. For instance, you can have incoming mail automatically sorted into different folders, with certain messages labelled, marked as Junk, or even deleted. Filters can be applied automatically to incoming mail, or you can run them manually when desired.
Creating filters
This tutorial has clear, step-by-step instructions (with screenshots) for how to set up message filters in Thunderbird. You can also create a new filter from any message by right-clicking on the hyperlinked email address of the sender, where it appears above the message pane, and choosing "Create Filter From Message...."
Important: filters must be set up on a per-account basis, and they likewise operate on a per-account basis. There is not currently any option to create "global filters" that will operate on all accounts 'except in the case of multiple POP accounts using the Global Inbox. In this case, you can create filters for Local Folders that will be applied automatically to incoming mail for all those accounts.
Running filters
Filters that are enabled will be run automatically, in the order in which they are listed in the "Message Filters" dialog ("Tools -> Message Filters..."). Note that if you set up a filter to move an incoming message to a specified folder, subsequent filters will not be automatically applied to that message once it has been moved from the Inbox. There is currently no option to have filters be applied automatically to outgoing mail.
To run filters manually on the currently opened folder, select "Tools -> Run Filters on Folder". To manually run only some of your filters rather than all of them, go to "Tools -> Message Filters...", select the filters you want to run, and click the "Run Now" button.
Filtering the message body
You can filter based on the contents of a message body in a POP account if you select "Body". This will also search attachments, though its not clear if thats formally supported. In Thunderbird 1.5 filtering the message body may not work if you have enabled the feature for quarantining individual incoming messages. [1]
By default, Thunderbird doesn't support filtering the message body in a IMAP account. There is no "Body" in the list box. Older versions of Thunderbird will let you filter the message body in a IMAP account if you add "Body" as a custom header . Either create a new filter or edit a existing filter and select "customize" in the left most list box. Enter "Body" as the "new message header". This adds user_pref("mailnews.customHeaders", "Body");' to prefs.js. Unfortunately, this feature doesn't work with recent versions. The developers explanation that its too hard to do because it would require downloading and storing the the message bodies before applying filters doesn't address the issue of why it used to work for many versions.
Filtering based on Tags
Thunderbird doesn't have explicit support for filtering by tags but you can select Custom Headers from the leftmost list box while editing the filter rule and add support for X-Mozilla-Keys, and then test whether it "contains" that tag. Thunderbird uses that header to store tags. For example, X-Mozilla-Keys: forum fyi indicates the message has the forum and fyi tags.
IMAP accounts store tags using message attributes instead, so its not possible to do that with messages stored in remote folders. If you copy the message to a local folder it currently doesn't add a X-Mozilla-Keys header with the tags, though it will add a empty X-Mozilla-Keys header when you compact it. [2]
While you can create message filters to test for Spam thats re-inventing the wheel. Its more efficient to use the junk mail controls . This article explains how to tweak the the junk mail controls to make them learn faster. You could also run other tools such as SpamAssassin or SpamPal that add headers to describe its analysis of the message and some sort of spam score that you can test. For example, SpamPal adds a X-SpamPal: PASS header if the message isn't spam.
When you check for new mail message filters are run before the junk mail controls. There is no way to change that order.
Account specific filters
Each account has its own set of message filters, but they normally have no concept of accounts. You can create account specific message filters by checking the value of the X-Account-Key header.
Use View -> Message Source and find the header, noting what its set to. For example, X-Account-Key: account10. Then create a message filter and scroll the leftmost list box (it defaults to Subject) down to Customize. Enter X-Account-key as the new message header, and press OK. Select X-Account-Key in that list box and test whether "X-Account-Key" "is" "account10" (replace account10 with the value your account uses) and select in "Perform these actions" what it should do.
If the filter doesn't work see if Thunderbird changed the header it tests to Subject behind your back. Sometimes you run into a temporary glitch after adding a customized header. If that happens, exit Thunderbird, restart it , and edit the message filter to use X-Account-Key.
If you have never written a message filter before and can't figure out what is wrong, try starting smaller and working your way up. For example, you might have written a filter to move certain new messages to a different folder and it doesn't seem to do anything. Modify the message filter to make it add a star to all new messages. That is something harmless you can see and easily undo manually. If that works then modify it to add the star only for those messages that you want to move to a folder. If that works then modify it to move the messages instead of adding a star. The reason for doing this is by starting small its easier to catch and debug common errors, or identify if there is something wrong with that account that prevents any message filter from working etc.
You could create a message filter that adds a star to all messages by testing whether the "Subject" "isn't" "~!@#$%^&*()_+i" (or some other extremely unlikely string) and selecting "Add Star" in the actions list box. Test it using "Tools -> Run Filters on Folder". If no matter what you do it doesn't work, try replacing the contents of the "msgFilterRules.dat" file for your account in the profile as follows. If that doesn't work you probably choose the wrong account directory.
version="8" logging="yes" name="Apply a star to all messages" enabled="yes" type="1" action="Mark flagged" condition="OR (subject,isn't,\"~!@#$%^&*()_+i\")"

Smule, the company behind some of the most downloaded social music making apps on iOS – Magic Piano, I Am T-Pain, Ocarina and MadPad  — announced earlier today that it has acquired Khush for an undisclosed amount of cash and stock. Like Smule, Khush is known on the App Store for their highly popular music apps: Songify and LaDiDa, both of which center around turning your speech/voice into catchy tunes.
"The Khush team brings world-class innovation, unique technological talent, and a passionately shared vision for the future,†said Jeffrey C. Smith, co-founder and CEO of Smule. "Joining forces with Khush represents the next step in our plan to bring accessible, fun, and sometimes bizarre music making experiences to everyone.â€
As an interesting side note, both companies share academic roots. Dr. Ge Wang, co-founder and CEO of Smule, is an assistant professor at Stanford University in the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Whereas Dr. Para Chordia, co-founder of Khush, is a professor of computer music at Georgia Tech. It'll certainly be interesting to see what these highly creative musical minds have in store for us and our iDevices in the near future. And to highlight this occasion, Smule and Khush have created a cool little video using Songify to spread word of the acquisition. The full press release and video clip after the gap.
