This morning UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon briefed members of the Security Council on the report of the United Nations Mission to Investigate Allegations of the Use of Chemical Weapons in Syria. Professor Ake Sellstrom, the UN Chief Investigator on the mission to Syria, joined the Council and the Secretary General to discuss the report's findings. The report concludes unequivocally that chemical weapons were used on a relatively large scale in the Ghouta area of Damascus on August 21, 2013, causing numerous casualties, particularly among civilians.
While the United States will continue analyzing the UN's findings carefully, a preliminary review makes clear that only the regime could have carried out this large-scale chemical weapons attack.
Indeed, several crucial details confirm the regime's guilt. The United States has associated one of the munitions identified in the UN report -- 122 mm improvised rockets -- with previous Assad regime attacks. We have reviewed thousands of open source videos related to the current conflict in Syria, but have not observed the opposition manufacturing or using this style of rocket.
Equally significant, the environmental, chemical, and medical samples that the UN investigators collected provide clear and compelling evidence that the surface-to-surface rockets used in the Ghouta area of Damascus on August 21 contained the nerve agent sarin. We know the regime possesses sarin. We have no evidence, however, that the opposition does.
During his briefing Professor Sellstrom revealed a telling detail about the level of sophistication involved in the manufacture of the sarin used on August 21, one which further implicates the Assad regime's chemical weapons program. Responding to a question from Russia, Dr. Sellstrom stated the sarin used was of a higher quality than that used in Iraq's program. He added that the markings on the weapons obtained from the site suggested they were made professionally, and that the rockets used did not have the characteristics of improvised devices they had seen before.
Even before the release of the UN's report, we already knew that in the days before the attack, Assad's chemical weapons experts distributed gas masks to regime troops. Moreover, it was Syrian military that fired rockets from a regime-controlled area into neighborhoods that the military had been trying to clear of opposition forces. It defies logic to think that the opposition would have infiltrated a regime-controlled area to fire on the territory it already held.
The gas attack on Ghouta represents the most significant confirmed use of chemical weapons against civilians since 1988 -- and the worst use of weapons of mass destruction in the 21st century. "This is a war crime," Secretary-General Ban told reporters today at the United Nations.
The UN report complements the information the United States government has worked hard to make available not only to world leaders and UN diplomats, but to American citizens and the rest of the global community. Addressing the press following the UN briefing, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power said, "The more countries around the world are confronted with the hard facts of what occurred on August 21, the more they recognize that the steep price of impunity for Assad could extend well beyond Syria. That is why President Obama sought to mobilize the international community to act to deter and degrade Assad's ability to use or proliferate these weapons."
You can read Ambassador Power's full remarks here, or watch the video of it here. If you have not had a chance to review the UN report yet, you can read it online. You should be aware that the UN investigators who collected the data for the report did so at great personal risk. They put their lives on the line to gather testimony from survivors, medical personnel, and first responders and collect biomedical evidence and soil and environmental samples. You should also know, as Secretary-General Ban told reporters at UN headquarters today, that "the report makes for chilling reading."

From day one we knew Assad regime had used the chemical weapons and IRESC stand by all its statement, Assad regime have been given to much time to play with, the removal of the chemical weapons is one what about the removal of Assad and his regime
IRESC firmly stand behind the Obama administration action on Syria, if President Obama did not move to have military strike at Syria, based on intelligence from Syria ,the world would not have known the truth that Assad have chemical weapons we knew it was Assad and not the rebels as some nations was putting the blame on the rebels
IRESC highly commend the Obama administration for a job well done especially against the opposition forces they face home and abroad, the UN inspectors must also be commended for a job well done among the many challenges they face in Syria

So our tour manager Britton showed me this song while we were in Australia a few weeks ago and it's been stuck in my head ever since.

Former Senior US Official: 'Killing Palestinians Popular in Israel around Elections Time' (Video)
Chas Freeman, former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia under President George H. W. Bush, former assistant to former Secretary of Defense William Perry, a member of the State Department for the last thirty years and a renowned critic of Israel, told Russia Today TV in an interview that Israel's recent Operation Pillar of Defense was a preemptive attack against civilians, which was baseless and uncalled for.
"The fact that one side commits occasional acts of terrorism does not justify state terrorism," Freeman said about Israel's strikes against Hamas in Gaza.
"In this case, there was not rocket fire of any consequence from the Gaza Strip prior to Israel's inauguration of the military raid that killed the military leader of Hamas… You can't bomb people into peaceful coexistence."
Freeman suggested the timing of the operation was not a coincidence: "It's popular in Israel to kill many Palestinians in Gaza…a war against Hamas wins votes."
According to Freeman, the rabbis and settlers are to blame for Israel's belligerent military actions. Explaining the significance of the name Pillar of Cloud by its biblical meaning, Freeman expounded: "The religious element in the Israeli armed forces, largely settler driven … religion is very much bounded up with its operations. The language of some of the rabbis during [operation] Cast Lead was simply hair-raising in terms of evoking Old Testament images of genocide against non-Jews…evoking memories of Old Testament violence raises questions… This is a typical example of what the Israelis call Hasbara, which is the control of the narrative and propaganda (it actually means simply PR – JP), and they do it very well."
It should be noted that the names of IDF operations are generated by computer, chosen from a bank of random words, and not picked by rabbis for their religious implications. Freeman would have to explain the biblical significance of Operation Summer Rains (28 June – 26 November 2006), Operation Autumn Clouds (31 October–7 November 2006), Operation Orchard (6 September 2007), and Operation Sea Breeze (31 May 2010).
Freeman had much to say about the pro-Israel lobby in the U.S. He claimed that Israel can influence staffing in the American security establishment, as a means of extending its own defense. He denied there was a similar Arab lobby, suggesting it's a fiction of the Israel lobby's imagination.
"The Arabs have plenty of money, but they also have no understanding of importance of institutions," Freeman said, adding: "They don't have a habit of sustained effort on anything…probably many of them consider it improper to buy votes, and I happen to agree with them. They are behind the times, unfortunately, every one else is doing it."
We consulted Wikipedia on Freeman's previous remarks regarding the Jewish state:
In a 2005 speech to a conference of the The National Council on U.S.-Arab Relations Freeman stated, "As long as the United States continues unconditionally to provide the subsidies and political protection that make the Israeli occupation and the high-handed and self-defeating policies it engenders possible, there is little, if any, reason to hope that anything resembling the former peace process can be resurrected. Israeli occupation and settlement of Arab lands is inherently violent."
In a 2006 speech to the annual U.S.-Arab Policymakers Conference, Freeman said that Americans allowing Israel to "call the shots in the Middle East" had "revealed how frightened Israelis now are of their Arab neighbors" and that the results of the "experiment" were that "left to its own devices, the Israeli establishment will make decisions that harm Israelis, threaten all associated with them, and enrage those who are not."
In a 2007 speech to the Pacific Council on International Policy Freeman said that "Al Qaeda has played us with the finesse of a matador exhausting a great bull by guiding it into unproductive lunges." He cited the 2003 invasion of Iraq which "transformed an intervention in Afghanistan most Muslims had supported into what looks to them like a wider war against Islam." He held that the U.S. had "embraced Israel's enemies as our own" and that Arabs had "responded by equating Americans with Israelis as their enemies." He chared that the U.S. now backed Israel's "efforts to pacify its captive and increasingly ghettoized Arab populations" and to "seize ever more Arab land for its colonists."
But lest we overlook the nicer things, in numerous places in his 2010 book America's Misadventures in the Middle East, Freeman does support the existence of the State of Israel. (For example, on p. 121, he writes, "A just and durable peace in the Holy Land that secures the State of Israel should be an end in itself for the United States.")
In his remarks before the New America Foundation on January 26, 2011, Freeman argued that the "United States essentially has disqualified itself as a mediator" of the Israel-Palestine peace process. He argued that the US cannot "play the role of mediator because of the political hammerlock that the right wing in Israel through its supporters [in the US] exercises in our politics." Freeman argued that U.S. vetoes of United Nations Resolutions condemning Israeli settlements in occupied territory undermine the role of international law.
In remarks to the Palestine Center on May 4, 2011, Freeman stated that "the cruelties of Israelis to their Arab captives and neighbors, especially in the ongoing siege of Gaza and repeated attacks on the people of Lebanon, have cost the Jewish state much of the global sympathy that the Holocaust previously conferred on it. The racist tyranny of Jewish settlers over West Bank Arabs and the progressive emergence of a version of apartheid in Israel itself are deeply troubling to a growing number of people abroad…. Ironically, Israel – conceived as a refuge and guarantee against European anti-Semitism – has become the sole conceivable stimulus to its revival and globalization (Meaning, look at those Jews causing all this anti-Semitism – JP) …. Israel is vigorously engaged in the collective punishment and systematic ethnic cleansing of its captive Arab populations. It rails against terrorism while carrying out policies explicitly described as intended to terrorize the peoples of the territories it is attacking or into which it is illegally expanding."

Who put they money in Freeman's pocket? Apparently he has no self respect, either that or senile dementia has a lock on his little grey cells.
According to this idiot rockets at Israel are ok? Israel has no right to defend itself? Since Hamas and the Palestinians do not believe Israel has a right to exist why are we wasting our time with this anti-semite.
Waste of time reading or listening to this absurd insanity
Chas Freeman–and evil man! Who care what this fool says!
Charles Freeman must be a closet muslim.
Does Chas Freeman love Israel and the Jews or what?
You know, there are some people, where you look at their last name and think "Oh G-d, I hope he's not one of ours!"
I wonder if HIS attitude would be the same if his neighbour began throwing rocks over onto the roof of his house. Not many, just a few; 10 to 12 a day, all day, every day. I wonder what he would do. Just a thought.
Former Ambassador to Saudi Arabia….current saudi whore.
This guy in Freeman is a a liar border anti-Semite. I would love to sue him for slamder! What a piece of gabrage.
His president BHO said as after a visit to Sderot, that he'd do just what Israel did. He should consult his hero.
The main requirement for an US ambassador to Saudi Arabia would be that he, like Chas Freeman, be anti-Semitic. If not, he would be returning from Saudi Arabia in a black zip lock bag. He promulgated his anti-Semitism in the State Department and to all the whoring media that's willing to prostitute themselves for anti-Semitic money.
What this guy says is the most idiotic thing I have listened to as of recent, but not for long…because if we have people like him in the government, who speak foolish anything is possoble.
What comes out of this guy is incitement against Zarayah Israel and he is USA official
Freeman is another ignorant tool for the fulfilment of prophecy. I feel badly for all the nations that will battle Israel, for they will find themselves warring against their Creator, and they will lose!
Let's assume for a moment he's not bought and paid for, can you imagine this moron bought the Saudi propaganda? He believes their anti-Semitic cartoons. He's so degenerate he doesn't mind stating the blood libels anew? Can you believe that this miscreant was our Asst. Secy. of Defense. With this guy in position of responsibility it's a wonder we even won a spitting contest.

John MacArthur – "Strange Fire"
Strange Fire launched Wednesday morning with John MacArthur explaining the basis and the need for the conference. Starting with the story of Nadab and Abihu (Leviticus 10), he described the dangers of fraudulent worship and the vital need for discernment, the lack of which is "the biggest problem in the church today." The purpose of the conference then is to help the church discern the truth about the charismatic movement, which he said has made no contribution to biblical clarity, interpretation, or sound doctrine.
John closed by highlighting the true work of the Holy Spirit—conforming believers to Christlikeness. Working through the life of Christ, he showed that the relationship between Jesus and the Holy Spirit is the model for the Spirit's work in the life of every believer. Put simply, the Spirit's work is to mature, sustain, empower, fill, and perfect us toward the likeness of our Savior.
Joni Eareckson Tada – Testimony
To begin the second session, John MacArthur introduced his longtime friend Joni Eareckson Tada. Joni has been paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair for more than four decades, and she explained how the Lord has used her suffering in that time to grow her spiritually. She once longed for a miraculous healing, like the person at the pool of Bethesda in John 5. And while she obviously has not received that kind of healing, she's thankful for how the Lord has healed her spiritually in the midst of the suffering she's endured. She said she wouldn't exchange God's sanctifying work for any amount of walking.
R.C. Sproul – "Undervaluing Pentecost"
Even though R.C. Sproul was unable to make to the conference in person, he appeared via video as Strange Fire's second keynote speaker. Dr. Sproul traced the work of the Holy Spirit throughout redemptive history, leading up to the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit was poured out and indwelled all believers. His major complaint with his charismatic friends is not that they are overly fixated with Pentecost, but that they actually have a low view of Pentecost. Instead of recognizing that the Holy Spirit fully indwells a believer once, they've created a false, two-tiered system of Christianity.
Steve Lawson – "Calvin's Critique of Charismatic Calvinists"
Steve Lawson opened the third session by asking the question, "What would John Calvin say about the wave of new Calvinists who are 'open but cautious' to the charismatic movement?" To answer that question, he looked back at how Calvin dealt with similar controversial movements in his own time. Working through Calvin's Institutes and his commentaries, Dr. Lawson showed how Calvin understood the apostolic gifts as validation of the apostolic message. He made it clear that Calvin saw no need for the gospel to be revalidated—just faithfully preached. He summed up the session by saying, "If we want to see a new reformation this day, and the revival of Reformed theology continually expand the borders of its influence, we must be exclusively committed to the written word of God."
Conrad Mbewe – "The African Import of Charismatic Chaos"
Wrapping up day one, Zambian pastor and author Conrad Mbewe challenged the audience regarding the international exportation of the charismatic movement. "The Spurgeon of Africa" spoke about the charismatic chaos in His part of the world, and revealed the true nature of the massive church growth in Africa. He explained how the charismatic church has ignored the Word of God in favor of cultural superstition and prosperity preaching, and that what looks like revival from our perspective is not actually good news. Bible teaching is scarce, and Scripture does not shape the lives of many professing believers. Focusing on Christ's words in John 17:17, Mbewe passionately emphasized the inability of believers to grow spiritually apart from the teaching of God's Word.
That's just a brief glimpse of Day One. We hope you'll join us today for more excellent Bible teaching. Watch the free live stream at gty.org, or follow us on Twitter and Facebook for the latest conference updates.

Yesterday was wonderful! So full of truth and clarity. All the speakers were great but one of my favorite things was "Johnny" and Joni singing together. My whole family listened to the conference as we went about our day yesterday (home schoolers own their time!) but they all missed the singing! Can you put that on the website? Is there anything "Johnny" can't do!?

Thank you for your encouraging words and truthful assessment of the "Charismatic movement" underway in many places in Africa. I have been serving mission work in north central Ethiopia for 12+ years now. Until recently opposition to the true Gospel was from Coptic Christianity & Muslims. Now a greater challenge has presented itself. The GOD TV channel is spreading this false teaching throughout the continent. Sadly, many well meaning Christians are caught up in the movement as it sows to the flesh, appeals to pride and lust for power.
May the Lord be merciful and deliver His true saints from this great deception.

Since the Strange Fire Conference has started yesterday, my Facebook page has ignited with all kinds of conversation concerning Dr. MacArthur and this conference.
I spent the first 21 years of my life as a hard-core follower of the Charismatic movement and thank God for using this ministry to lead me to the truth.
I just wanted to write a note of encouragement:
This conference has angered so many people that I know and I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for loving people enough to expose the Charismatic Church/Teachings for the heresy that it is.
Keep up the good work: speaking the truth in love, although may are misinterpreting it as hate.
I just wanted to let everyone know that Mike Riccardi, the Pastor of Local Outreach Ministries, has been blogging on each of the main sessions at the Cripplegate Blog: http://thecripplegate.com/
His coverage has been excellent! Thank you very, very much Mike!
Thank you so much for your stance on TRUTH. I can not tell you how much this conference has meant to me. It has moved me and encouraged me to be more available to speak up more to those lost to the Charismatic movement. Thank you for your willingness to be obedient to God and His Word. I was before, and will continue to pray for you and the GTY ministry. I'm so grateful for the live stream which allowed me be a part of the conference. May the Lord continue to bless you and may He receive the glory He so rightly deserves as you, and the other speakers, convey His truth.
Grace and peace to you,
I'd like to thank the Grace to You staff for the live stream of the conference. I know most of my charismatic friends and family cannot watch or listen, unfortunately, because they think it is too harsh. I think the truth hurts sometimes, inevitably. It's kind of like watching surgery being done. But the truth is so vitally important, and no one else has the guts to say what needs to be said about the charismatic movement at all. There has been an overall level of tolerance by the church at large and it has become as cancer spreading throughout the body. The true bible believers have been silent too long out of fear of rejection by their so-called peers. The first level of persecution in this day and age will and is coming from with the church itself. I don't imagine that there will be a global revival of global proportions dragging people back to the sufficiency of Gods Word, and the true work of the Holy Spirit, rather, I believe the revival will be from within starting with individuals being led by the truth inspired by the Godly work of the leaders of this conference and other similar events. Similar to the parable of the wheat and the tares, God will divide us in his day. We all need to start confronting the insanity in our own churches in a spirit of love and truth, remembering that we will be rejected by most. We are after leading people to a right view of the Lord through scripture. God bless all of you at Grace and please keep it up.
#3 Elizabeth mentioned that some people have been misinterpreting messages at the conference as hate, instead of love. May all of us balance the truth with love. Not tolerance of error, but patience for those who are trapped in systems that teach error. We should never hesitate to fight for truth and confront false teaching by those who would lead others astray and deceive them, but we still need to have love for the lost who have not yet come to the knowledge of truth - a place where we have all been.
I sincerely hope you make the messages available for download, internet problems kept me from hearing several on Wednesday.
A note of loving gratitude to all who have worked to make this Conference available to us. Praise the LORD for raising you up for His glory! We are recipients of the wisdom delivered unto us from the GCC pulpit because of your diligent work and tireless efforts manifested in fruit produced out of a love for our glorious Lord and Savior! Praise the LORD for you. Multitudes of people throughout the earth are delivered blessing after blessing after blessing as a result of the labor you perform in sanctifying humility. Well done good and faithful slaves. Well done. Thank you for your part in overflowing our hearts with joy unspeakable this week. Hallelujah. O' the riches of His glory!
Again, thank you GTY for doing the live stream of the conference! I would have loved to go, but by the time I got to it, all the tickets were sold out and the waiting list was full. But it is so amazing to just be able to watch via live stream what goes on at your conferences! Thank you so much!
Thank you GTY, John MacArthur and the other speakers at the Strange Fire Conference! This conference was such a wonderful vehicle to give Glory to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit!! I LOVED the live streaming of the messages, such a blessing and service for those of us not actually at the conference. I do hope there will be DVD and CD sets of the entire conference, hopefully including Joni and Johnny's duet and the Breakout sessions which were not live streamed. My church would love to use the DVDs for Bible Studies and Sunday School. I like the CDs in the car.
I got saved in 1985; my sister immediately gave me a 4 tape set on Eph. 3:14-21 by Mac Arthur. I nearly fell over when I heard it. This was who God was?? This was what God had to say!? Oh, Glory be!! I could not get enough of the Word and was so blessed by the clear teaching of MacArthur! I systematically got all of his taped messages going back to his 1969 3 message series on the prophet Habakkuk. (I love it!) When GTY changed to CDs I continued to get them, until I got my tablet. Now I can carry all of MacArthur's messages with me to listen to at anytime.
Lest you think I "worship" this messenger - not so. I listen to the teaching of many others, including Lawson, Mohler, Dever, Duncan, Ferguson, Sproul(s). But I will always be eternally grateful for the foundation of my Christian life that was built upon the clear exegesis, robust exposition and verse by verse (word by word sometimes LOL!) teaching of the inimitable and eternal Word of God.
Thank you John MacArthur and GTY for the leadership you provide for the Church of our God in this world.

Repository and Unit of Work for Entity Framework (EF4) for Unit Testing
If you are not familiar with the Unit of Work pattern you should firt look at Implementing the Repository and Unit of Work Patterns in an ASP.NET MVC Application (9 of 10). It's a great article that demonstrates what the Unit of Work pattern can do.
Unfortunately, that article uses a different version of Entity Framework. I am using the default tools that come with Visual Studio and didn't want to modify the project too greatly so for me, the code wasn't usable. I also wanted to expose the IQueryable interface which as a side effect also simplified my Repository design.
By using a Repository Pattern you'll find unit testing is now possible and quite easy to write. This illustration (taken from asp.net) shows the differences between No Repository and the Repository Pattern. Notice how there are no Unit Tests in the No Repository section also note the "Alternative Persistence Medium" node (this is where our MemoryRepository comes in).

A Little Bit of Don Giovanni
Brought to life by a storyteller, a singer, two musicians and a series of colourful illustrations, A Little Bit of Don Giovanni follows Mozart's famous cassanova from one conquest to the next. But when his seduction of Donna Anna results in the death of her father, has he finally taken things too far?
Touring Scotland this Autumn, alongside Scottish Opera's full-scale production of Don Giovanni, this 20 minute bite-sized version of Mozart's masterpiece was the perfect introduction for anyone new to opera.
A Little Bit of Don Giovanni is now finished.

On a beam high atop the new Criminal Court Tower in downtown Phoenix a hand-written inscription is painted: "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." These ideals have inspired the Maricopa County Superior Court for more than a century, longer than Arizona has been a state. Ours is one of the most respected and honored judicial systems in America, for its performance, its commitment to innovation, convenience and access. That relentless drive to improve has served us well during the recent economic recession, in which the judiciary has continued to serve despite budget and staff reductions and a rise in civil litigation and tax filings. Every day, Superior Court judges and officers make difficult decisions about guilt, innocence, punishment, broken marriages and families, the care of the mentally ill and juveniles in state custody. The court is asked to resolve disputes and address business malfeasance. We try to do so with competence, wisdom and compassion, employing the highest ethical standards. We intend to keep it that way over the next decade, improving efficiency and access while maintaining our independence and professionalism. It is a high responsibility, one that our officers do not shrink from, but embrace.

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.
Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
You can sign-in using OpenID credentials, or register a traditional username and password.
First-time OpenID users will be automatically assigned a username which can be changed after signing in.
Every new command is wrapped in a tweet and posted to Twitter. Following the stream is a great way of staying abreast of the latest commands. For the more discerning, there are Twitter accounts for commands that get a minimum of 3 and 10 votes - that way only the great commands get tweeted.

Site originally by David Winterbottom (user root).
Wow, didn't really expect you to read this far down. The latest iteration of the site is in open beta. It's a gentle open beta-- not in prime-time just yet. It's being hosted over at UpGuard (link) and you are more than welcome to give it a shot. Couple things:
The Linux /dev/full file simulates a "disk full" condition, and can be used to verify how a program handles this situation.
In particular, several programming language implementations do not print error diagnostics (nor exit with error status) when I/O errors like this occur, unless the programmer has taken additional steps. That is, simple code in these languages does not fail safely. In addition to Perl, C, C++, Tcl, and Lua (for some functions) also appear not to fail safely.
This command install Apache 2 and other utilities on CentOS
The backslash avoids any 'rm' alias that might be present and runs the 'rm' command in $PATH instead.
In a misguided attempt to be more "friendly", some Linux distributions (or sites/etc.) alias 'rm' to 'rm -i'. Unfortunately, this trains users to expect that files won't actually be deleted until they okay it. This expectation will fail with catastrophic results when they use other distributions, move to other sites, etc., and doesn't really even work 100% even with the alias. It's too late to fix 'rm', but '\rm' should work everywhere (under bash).
creates a new tab for each of N servers in listofservers.txt and ssh's to said servers
then, try the "send to all sessions" feature of konsole to do the same work on all servers at the same time. BIG time saver, but be careful!
The last ; is important. example:
time { rm -rf /folder/bar && mkdir -p /folder/bar ; echo "done" ; }
command is a bash builtin
converts encoding of a file to unix utf-8
useful for data files that contain what would be usable ascii text but are encoded as mpeg or some other encoding that prevents you from doing common manipulations like 'sed'
Ever logged into a *nix box and needed to know which webserver is running and where all the current access_log files are? Run this one liner to find out. Works for Apache or Lighttpd as long as CustomLog name is somewhat standard. HINT: works great as input into for loop, like this:
for i in `lsof -p $(netstat -ltpn|awk '$4 ~ /:80$/ {print substr($7,1,index($7,"/")-1)}')| awk '$9 ~ /access.log$/ {print $9| "sort -u"}'` ; do echo $i; done
Very useful for triage on unfamiliar servers!
puts command in background and sends its output to nohup.out file
it will not die if you log out fromyour shell session ;-)
Using +F will put less in follow mode. This works similar to 'tail -f'. To stop scrolling, use the interrupt. Then you'll get the normal benefits of less (scroll, etc.).
Pressing SHIFT-F will resume the 'tailling'.
above line in .bash_profile will give you window title in putty or terminal client when you login to your remote server
Ever need to know why Apache is bogging down *right now*? Hate scanning Apache's Extended server-status for the longest running requests? Me, too. That's why I use this one liner to quickly find suspect web scripts that might need review.
Assuming the Extended server-status is reachable at the target URL desired, this one-liner parses the output through elinks (rendering the HTML) and shows a list of active requests sorted by longest running request at the bottom of the list. I include the following fields (as noted in the header line):
Seconds: How long the request is alive
PID: Process ID of the request handler
State: State of the request, limited to what I think are the relevant ones (GCRK_.)
IP: Remote Host IP making the request
Domain: Virtual Host target (HTTP/1.1 Host: header). Important for Virtual Hosting servers
TYPE: HTTP verb
URL: requested URL being served.
Putting this in a script that runs when triggered by high load average can be quite revealing. Can also capture "forgotten" scripts being exploited such as "formmail.pl", etc.
Use carefully have rm -rf ;-)
It would be nice if commandlinefu.com had a better domain name. Will they pick one of the above; We'll see.
FreeBSD version of the Linux command
mount discimg.iso /cdrom -o loop
The "mdconfig" command creates a device and prints the name (typically "md0"). Just append that to "/dev/" and mount.
Once unmounted, you can unconfigure the device with
mdconfig -d -u 0
using "0" for md0, "1" for md1, etc.
tail would be considered dull, but pair this with being able to push out unix commands over ARD, and life gets easier. (Same can be said for my TimeMachine scrape command, http://xrl.us/begrzb)
Useful to check DDoS attacks on servers.
Many sites with Flash video players will download video files to /tmp on Linux, with temporary filenames like "FlashbGTHm4". These will often play in mplayer, totem, or other movie playing software. You must first navigate to a video page, let it start loading, and then pause playback.

ANY IMAGE Depicting pornography, extreme graphic violence, torture, rape, sexual contact, physical arousal depicting erect male genitalia, or exposing female genitalia, any image depicting children in any way that is not wholesome, will be automatically deleted by the staff.
Additional Note:
It has come to our attention recently that some images posted in the RDNA galleries have contained material that was protected by copyright or other applicable laws. These images have been removed, and such will continue to be removed in the future should this come to the attention of admin and staff.
This message is to remind everyone that "finding it on the internet" does not make it "royalty free" or otherwise acceptable for personal use.
Secondarily, including such an image in your own work, as a background, or as part of the image, or as a texture map, is still a violation of copyright and other applicable laws, and will get the image deleted from the galleries.
Since the new gallery format does not require persons posting to have their work checked, we ask that all persons be certain that the work they post is completely their own and free from copyright encumbrances. If you have any questions regarding what you can, and CANNOT, do in terms of copyright, please feel free to e-mail email@example.com for clarification.
We trust the the aforementioned images were the result of a misunderstanding of what is acceptable and not an intentional attempt to infringe on someone's copyright.
The intention, however, does not protect the posting party, or RDNA and its host provider from legal action should that become the case. For this reason we will err on the side of caution and remove works that appear to contain protected material as we become aware of it.

Skip to comments.Nancy Reagan endorses Romney's bid for president
Posted on 05/31/2012 9:56:41 PM PDT by Innovative
The widow of President Ronald Reagan says she is firmly behind Romney. And she says that her "Ronnie" would have liked Romney's business background and what she calls his "strong principles."
In a statement issued after the Romneys' visit, Mrs. Reagan said she believes that Romney has the experience and leadership skills that, in her words, "our country so desperately needs."
(Excerpt) Read more at boston.com ...
It's been a tough primary season...and some of us were really blasted for supporting Perry and others early on.
Some are still smarting from the beating up more conservative candidates took...
I must've missed the Romney supporter posts..LOL
I've lived long enough to know I don't always get my preferred candidate..and I have yet to vote for a perfect one.
I voted for Barry Goldwater when conservative wasn't cool...
Namecalling rolls off my back now..I know who I am.
I believe in all my years since voting for Eisenhower for my first Presidential vote..NO President has been as dangerous to my beloved country as Obama and his administration.
Votes downticket are also SO important.
I am passionate about getting Obama OUT.. and as many good conservatives as we can in Congress and the Senate..on down
There has been no nominating convention. There has been no "voice of the people". Why do you seek to deny people of their voice.. their vote?
Too bad the general public didn't see how dreadfully his most virulent supporters behave. They scare the straights, that's for sure. A Willard Administration would be replete with gross paranoia, backstabbery, ego worship of "his supreme highness", jettisoning any sense of honesty or morality, intrigue and other mental deficiencies we've seen out of these cretins who pimp for his cause. Pretty much Zero's farcical regime, in RINO.
I've asked for no followers. It is bizarre for you to even go there. Only to follow God and His leadings. Then you should accuse Jim Robinson of the same as it is his tagline I have borrowed to quote.
Am I a fan of God? Without a doubt, but I am also a speaker of truth and a defender of simple clarity. Nancy Reagan has voiced support for Mitt Romney.
Obama is ruining our country and violating principles never before seen. I am a fan for see his ass fired in November. If that is fanaticism. Then yes. Sign me up.
Also he criticized Ford quite severely in 1976 but upon losing the nomination endorsed him. I would view the Romney candidacy the same way.
Willard is every much a part of the same cause of villany and evil that Zero serves. Open your eyes.
Agree. Romney Regime = Obama Regime in EGO/Narcissism first and everything else is your guess. The EGO is a strange friend or fiend.
I'm sorry, you must have misunderstood me. I intend to see both Willard and Zero defeated. They are the enemy.
Dear. So now you accuse others of what you have been doing in full force all night? I really want to accuse you of constant manipulation. Yet I can't even call it that because you are so transparent. It gives manipulation a weak description and name.
Again, your debunked nonsense was discussed 150 posts ago.
There you go again.... drama queen
Perry was almost as dreadful as Willard. His supporters also had a singular antipathy to hearing the truth about his record.
I lot of people have voted in the primary and Romney has the required delegates..
It is interesting to consider a revolt overturning those choices would be considered the "voice of the people.".
Why do you think I laugh at you, dear..I know better..and you rant and accuse and you posture..and it no longer concerns me at all.
No fool like a deceived old fool. I'm sorry you hate your country so much in your twilight years as to damn the rest of us.
You don't remember all the debates? ALL THE DEBATES. So many we all sort of were blase about it at some point. All the candidates—one after one dropping out after primary after primary. Maybe in the future you can work to help change that process if it is is not working in the way you feel strongly it should. But for now it is what it is an plenty have spoken and the counts are in. If you can round up a new candidate for then convention then more power to you sister. Truly.
You're so kind.
No my dear..I pray for us all and our beloved country..
May God bless you.
On that we can agree and woo the fool that stands before us. :). When it comes to Romney you know I think you need therapy and you don't think much of my stance. :). But there will we have to disagree. Doesn't mean we can kick some serious butt effectively in November somehow.
I do hope you find a place to support though for November. Maybe you already are working for other candidates or causes or writing checks :). Either way. You would be a great asset in a campaign forward somewhere for November.
Not really. I need not the prayers of someone who worships and serves the cause of the Dark One or false idols like Willard.
Work to defeat the forces of evil. Those that come in shades of tan and shades of white, whom both hate, loathe, despise and villify Conservatism. Time to go to Tampa and say "No more !" Socialist Willard is 100% unacceptable to face the unknown Marxist Emperor in November.
See why I must laugh..You make totally unfounded accusations..LOL
Bless your heart.
Sweet dreams.
Well it sounds as though you have defined your fight. If it is truly inspired what can I say? I do not agree with it but who am I to judge whether it is divinely inspired at this point for you? I do wish you strength and great guidance and protection going forward though fieldmarshaldj and I also pray that we all find peace in Him and rest. Good night my FRiend.
You mean when Sky net launches all the nukes and the machines take over?
Nope, not that one. Just because you're an atheist doesn't mean you're gonna be given a pass on it. We're all gonna face it.
Nancy was never a staunch Conservative as Reagan himself was. Reagan loved Nancy with all of his heart... including putting up with some of her weird beliefs. I will respect her for Ronald but I pay absolutely no attention to anything that she says. Those that misuse her to promote their candidacy are going to face the FATHER and there will be a day of reckoning.
Okay then!
Aw, c'mon, dude. Cut me some slack. I'm trying to save your soul here. You don't want to end up on the least scenic side of Detroit... or Camden, New Jersey, do you ?
Well I don't remember him not endorsing Bush's re-election in 92, so we will never really know.
"Aw, cmon, dude. Cut me some slack. Im trying to save your soul here. You dont want to end up on the least scenic side of Detroit... or Camden, New Jersey, do you ?"
Good thing you didn't mention Houston on that list or I might have converted right then and there.
You know that old adage about wasting your time and annoying the pig?
You're annoying a whole herd of them. Obviously you didn't get the memo. This is not a conservative site (except by original intent); this is a de facto anti-obama, or an anyone-but-obama site, and when Mitt Romney achieved liftoff, he went from anathema to messiah in the time it takes a lemming to turn left. Okay? Mitt will save us. Just lie back and enjoy. Remember, he is not obama. Anyone running against obama is good. Much like anyone over the age of 90 is good; it's just automatic; even a pro-abortion stand becomes deodorized.
I can't wait for the day when the last disruptive conservative leaves this site so I can read paeans to Sketch Romney during my coffee break without ever seeing flames shot from circular formations of Ben Dovers.
Houston is worse than Detroit or Camden ? Dude.
When mitter collides with anti-mitter, nobody wins!
Just so no one misses it this time, this is sarcasm
My Goodness! I do believe there are some freepers on here who would vote for Willard even if he started performing street abortions and homosexual marriages....and would then accuse Freepers who are NOT voting for Willard of being agents of Hussein. That is SICK and you folks need to find another website to pimp your Mormon Idol instead of attacking TRUE CONSERVATIVES.
Now the gop's very own socialist has to trot out Reagan's wife... heh..
Trust me on this... I wouldn't vote for romney even if he resurrected RR and put him on the ticket as VP.
Romney is a socialist.
Oh.. so because someone knew someone for however many years they MUST share that persons ideology? well.. I guess someone needs to tell Regan's kid that hes F'ed up and simply CANT a flaming F'ing socialist.
I don't know what Nancy's inclinations are but i know she said McCain was OK with her as well.
This isn't going to work either. Back the drawing board romneybots! better yet... dump your stupid F'ing socialist at the convention and lets pick up someone we can ALL get behind, otherwise you WILL regret your zealous support of this socialist. Youll not only be fighting the dems come November but you'll also be fighting a significant percentage of what USED to be the republican base. THEN when the dust clears, YOU will be blamed for the disaster, be it Nov 8.. or when obamacare gets written in stone as RomneyCare.
Speaking of socialized medicine... I wonder what Reagan had to say about that????
God love her.
However, I doubt she did any Youtube searches of Willard? His liberal history. Not to mentioin the one where he says, IN HIS OWN WORDS, "i'm no Rondald Reagan"
I am hoping everything I have learned about his history is truly that..history?
Although, I havn't seen much evidence of same.
Maybe Mrs Reagan can set me staight?
You claim to know more accurately what Ronald Reagan would have done, than his wife of over 50 years?!
How much time has Mrs Reagan spent with Romney to come to that conclusion.
50 Minutes if that?
How much time has Mrs Reagan spent with Romney to come to her conclusion that her husband would have approved of Wombat?
50 Minutes if that?
Actually, there are (sadly), MANY here on FR who want to see Obama get a second term. Many have said that if Obama wins again, the GOP would SURELY nominate their perfect conservative in 2016, even though that person does not exist.
It breaks my heart.
"I don't believe in abortion. On the other hand, I believe in a woman's choice. That puts me somewhere in the middle, but I don't know what to call that." -- Nancy Reagan, 1994.
Nobody said she was weak-minded! Here's my take...well...umm...let me call my personal astrologer and I'll get back to you shortly.
Disgusting. Why can't she not say anything....Mitt is a complete liberal and her husband would be embarrassed at how low the Republican party has gone.
Of course she's a conservative. A "pro-choice" conservative. Favors embryonic stem cell research. Consults an astrologer. What does a person have to do to prove it -- marry Ronald Reagan?
You claim to know more accurately what Ronald Reagan would have done, than his wife of over 50 years?!
Your full of crap...The Reagan's were NOT married over 50 years. Why do you have to lie??? What is the gain????
So what you're saying is he'd have endorsed Obama instead? /s
How long were they married?
March 4, 1952 date married
President Reagan died in 2004.
52 years married

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (56 votes).
In short: After 20 years of running this was the race I got my best time yetIn full: 2012 was the third time I ran this race. 2011 was the full and 2010 the half. Given it is a city race is has a lot of great parks and countryside to look at after the first few miles. I thought the organisers did a great job. there are pockets of crowds to cheer you on. But it is very flat most of the way around apart from the last 3/4 of a mile which is uphill. Leicester is not London, but it's a really great marathon. Speaking to people at the end several had achieved a PB and almost all said they'd be back again in 2013. Worth serious consideration if you are running an autumn marathon.Date of review: May 25, 2013
In short: AverageIn full: Leicester is my birth town (long since a Londoner) and having done London a few times, and numerous half marathons, decided to give this one a go (half due to training timetable issues).Course okay. Well, a little dull I suspect but for me it was a trip down memory lane so quite interesting. Marshals good and friendly, and nothing on the organisational side to pick too much fault with – apart from the finishers' tent thing which was dreadful. You have all of Victoria Park, why funnel people through claustrophobic hell?My one big negative. Why oh why ban MP3s? There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE at all that they in any way endanger safety and most of us train with them. Most events allow them and they would surely be universally banned if they were a liability. I can only assume this is a personal choice of the race director. I will not be back next year because of this. For an event trying to maximise entires for charity this is a shame (and by the way, the online entry form doesn't mention this, it's only the post entry stuff that makes you aware of this; bad planning or do they realise it will put you off and therefore try to take your money before they tell you?)Date of review: November 3, 2012
In short: Well organised & marshalled - fantastic event with distances for all abilitiesIn full: I really enjoyed this race through town, park & country - starting & finishing in Victoria Park. The organisation was excellent and it was very well signed & marshalled, not too crowded so ideal for a good time. Good support especially at start & finish & through town - very vocal & encouraging. Tough uphill finish along New Walk but otherwise flat so opportunity of a PB, I would highly recommend this event.Date of review: October 22, 2012
In short: Nice race, poor organisationIn full: A decent 'local' race with some reasonable scenery on fairly flat roads. There were some negative points. Sort these out and this could become more attractive to more runners.The administation of the race was very poor, and the web site content was out of date and lead to confusion. The timing clock went off at least 90s aheasd of the gun. The 14.5 mile marker was placed before the 14mile marker. Lots of little things like this detract from a great day. The marshall were great, although one or two did not clearly mark the direction. This is a problem in small races where the field is strung out. A good race that could be a great race.Date of review: October 21, 2012
In short: Well marshalled marathonIn full: Thoroughly enjoyed. Got a pb (knocked 47 mins off my 2011 London marathon time-altho I had had a mare there! hence why I opted for a quieter one this time!)Extremely well marshalled. Much prefer to get bottle of water rather than cups-I got more down my front than in my mouth. Fair amount of support en route. Lots of differing scenery-loved Watermead, not sure about bemused shoppers. More slight undulations than I'd bargained for...and altho I'd walked up New Walk (final slightly uphill finishing mile) the day before and decided it was nothing to be worried about....it is tiring at end of 26 miles! Stayed whole weekend-people of Leicester were friendly. Stayed at Holiday Inn: clean, cheap & pool! If I attempt any further marathons...I'd def do this one again. Date of review: October 18, 2012
In short: Nice. Could be better, but nice.In full: I'd done the half here a few years ago and went for the full this year as a last minute decision, entered with less than 2 weeks to go, which cost more, but fair enough and the price was still okay.I'd agree with what people say generally about the start, smooth enough and running comfortably very quickly after the gun. Boring scenery for the first couple of miles and the downhill then the flyover, along with the first mile marker being way out, mess with pacing, but the rest of the markers were spot on.Busy for the first six miles, but room enough, then it gets a bit quiet. Route through the countryside was beautiful with sporadic crowds giving plenty of support. Water, gels, Hi5 plentiful and helpers and marshalls were great. (What happens if a train goes past at a crossing I was lucky enough not to discover). I found the route twisty in places, especially once back on the half course and it feels all uphill at the end (I hate that underpass). Shoppers in general seemed bemused by the runners coming through, but some of the other runners were installed with a beer outside cafes and were great!Yes, there were some problems with e-mails and the website could be better, the route could be less twisty and be all downhill, but I think the organisers have done really well with what they've got and should be congratulated for a really nice race. Thanks again to the marshalls and helpers.Only one real complaint - I finished in top third of marathon runners and already they had only medium sized T-shirts left. A shame not to be able to wear it :-(.Date of review: October 17, 2012
In short: Home Marathon so ill try not to be biased but VERY good all round.In full: Having done a couple of GNRs and the London Marathon I wanted to experience a smaller local event with a small field so that it was more a race than a "fun-run" like the above races tend to be now-a-days.This was my first time at Leicester, I turned up a bit late but managed to see Claire Lomas (the London Marathon Bionic Woman) up close and certainly got a sense of atmosphere on Viccy Park which was more than I was expecting.The course was mainly flat, the odd short hill and a flyover within the first couple of miles and out into the country side. The half splits away from the full at about 6 miles and turns back into the city and the field thins out massively so you are on your own. There are a couple of short hills, nothing major, and level crossings however I wasn't held up at any of these - I imagine that some unlucky people would have been though. One dodgy part was running down an alleyway between some houses.POSITIVESWell organised on the day and everything you needed at the finish and nothing you didn't. Water, banana, t-shirt (nice design) and medal. Free massages were also on offer and the que was fairly short too.Marshals were absolutely fantastic, as we're the cadets at the water stations who were very encouraging and also informative.Local support, whilst thin on the ground, was excellent by the people who where there, especially in the cafes and pubs. This isn't the GNR or London so I wonder why people expect huge crowds. I had more support here than I did in the Great Manchester Run that's for sure.Fast course, whilst its not busy you can push on for speed, especially between miles 6-19. I was not in the best shape going into this race and expected to struggle, which I did but still managed to knock 13mins off my PB.NEGATIVESWebsite is rubbish, doesn't have much info and looks amateur.Disqualification for wearing headphones - come on, stupid rule. Thousands of runners train in traffic with headphones without the benefit of marshals controlling traffic so I think we should be able to cope in a controlled race situation.Lack of publicity pre-race. This is a huge opportunity for Leicester to show itself off and this event could be a LOT bigger if they just but a bit of effort into publicising it a bit more. That way you wouldn't get a load of confused shoppers wondering what the hell is going on!Silver medals for half/bronze for full? Hmmm, not sure about that, either have a neutral colour scheme or Gold for full and silver for half.All in all a very good race, enjoyed it and it exceeded expectations, I'd give it a strong 8/10 and will be back next year.Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: A fantastic 'local' MarathonIn full: My first time at the Leicester Marathon and I'll be back again. It got quite lonely out in the countryside at times but as soon as we headed back to the city things livened up. The marshals were fantastic and the last 2 miles though the shopping area's were fantastic. That hill at he end was murder though! It wasn't even that big!!!!I can't wait for next year. Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Well Organised, Marshalls and Support was greatIn full: Cold start, however soon warmed up when the mist cleared and the sun broke through. Very good running out of town towards the Leicestershire countryside through Watermead park which was beautiful, heading back into town through the town centre. The Marshalls were great as were the Army Cadets at the water stations who did a grand job. There was a good mix of both newbies like myself and experienced runners, and everyone was made to feel welcome. Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Well organised and fantastic marshallsIn full: The event organisation was great including lots of free parking which was great. Even though support was thin on the ground for most of the route the marshalls more than made up for this with their enthusiasm.Date of review: October 15, 2012

OCZ Technology Group said this week that Arthur F. Knapp, 63, chief financial officer, announced his intent to retire from the company. Mr. Knapp will remain as CFO until his successor is in place and then provide ongoing support to help ensure a seamless transition.
"After more than eight years at the company, I have decided that it is the right time to retire. I am proud to have been part of the significant growth and transformation of OCZ and I look forward to its continued success," said Arthur Knapp, the CFO of OCZ.
Arthur Knapp is a very experienced financial management specialists, for whom it will probably be hard to find a replacement. Prior to his tenure at OCZ, Mr. Knapp had over 15 years experience serving as the chief financial officer at high-tech companies like Duquesne Systems, Legent Corp., Boole & Babbage and Calico Commerce. Mr. Knapp also spent 10 years in public accounting.
"Art has been a valuable member of our management team since 2005 and he has contributed to the success of transforming the organization from a small high-performance memory company to a leader in the SSD market. On behalf of the company, I want to thank Art for his dedicated service and look forward to working with him through the search process for a new CFO," said Ryan Petersen, chief executive officer of OCZ Technology Group.
Given the fact that OCZ Technology Group has reportedly been an acquisition target in the recent weeks, the retirement of the CFO seems to be important news. The story either points to OCZ's further growth as an independent company (since they are looking for a new CFO) or OCZ's intention to find a strategic partner or investor (which calls for a particular kind of CFOs).
