What do you think of Lincoln?
I specifically chose Nameberry as the site to ask this question because it seems like the audience is a bit more modern-minded, and I value your opinion.
I have come to love the name Lincoln for my daughter. It sounds cute and feminine to me, and I can picture a little girl with pigtails. It also feels more fresh than some of the other names I have on my short list. I got really excited about it (hubs loves it too), and I started to seriously consider it. HOWEVER, I did some online research and found a few forums of people's opinions of a girl named Lincoln (including the reaction to Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard's daughter) and was really surprised by HOW NEGATIVE the general response was to the name. People seemed downright angry about it. I obviously don't want to ignore something that large and name my wonderful daughter something that everyone seems to hate...but I also can't shake the feeling that maybe I'm reading the opinions of a small group of people who may be more conservative about names. So I have come to Nameberry to ask your honest opinion. What do you think of the name Lincoln for a girl?

Lincoln is instantly dated, a slight, silly, faddish choice that will sit at the table with Jennifer, Madison, Mackenzie, and Jayden. I'm bracing myself for the flood of Lincoln, Linkin, Leinkyn, and Lynkenne.

You will get some people who don't like it because they have a strong dislike of unisex names (even on Nameberry) and some people who don't like it because it bothers them that people think it's cool to give a girl a boy's name...because that implies being boyish is cooler than being girly, which frankly is kind of sexist. However, Lincoln isn't traditionally a girl's name or a boy's name, it's a surname. People have been using surnames as first names for both boys and girls as a way to carry on a family name or to name a baby after someone they admire for a long time and I think it's perfectly fine to use Lincoln on a girl if you want to.

Did you happen to see the reaction thread to the Bell-Shepard baby's name on Nameberry? Because it was largely (if not all) negative IIRC.
Personally my biggest issue with this name is that Lincoln on a girl is going to be tied SPECIFICALLY to that child, so now if you use it, everyone will assume you're copying those celebrities. As far as the whole "traditionally male name/surname on a girl" issue goes, I say the same thing I always do: if you and your husband love it more than every other name on your list, use it.
If you're concerned about other people's opinions, have you tried asking friends and family what they think of the name? Or even using it yourself (like giving it as your name at Starbucks or somewhere else they would call you by name) to see how it feels? I would value those opinions much more than the opinion of random strangers on an online forum Good luck!"I have found the one whom my soul loves"

I love the name Lincoln on a little boy. I think the nn Link is adorable. I love the association with good old Abe. All in all, I think it's a fantastic, strong, name.
On a girl though? NO WAY! It's so heavily masculine. I'm not a fan of unisex names in the first place but to me this one should just be left to the boys. Give your little girl a prettier, more feminine name. Or at least a womanly heroic namesake to look up to.My Favorites:
Colette Kristine. Alice Evanna. Gemma Elizabeth. Mabel Verity. Rosalie Grace.
Jack Jeffrey. Carson Luke. Felix James. Leo Patrick. River Justin.
can't wait to marry my love!

Heisman Watch: College Football's Top Contenders And Sleepers
College football's top players compete for the Heisman Trophy. Here are the contenders as well as a few sleepers.
Heisman Watch: Jameis Winston The Slam Dunk, Five Others Playing For Second
The Heisman Trophy will be presented Saturday evening in New York City. Winston's name should be at the top of the list as college football's most impressive player from the start of the season through the championship games. Everything else after that is purely a guess.
Heisman Watch: Fresno State's Derek Carr Gets One Last Chance
Few quarterbacks in college football have put up the kind of passing numbers Fresno State's Derek Carr has this season. Carr has passed for a nation-leading 4,462 yards and 45 touchdowns while being picked off just five times all year.
Heisman Watch: Boston College's Andre Williams Rushes In To The Mix
With the competition wide open for the Heisman Trophy, Boston College running back Andre Williams has become a bit of a rising contender.
Heisman Watch: Jordan Lynch Looking To Push Northern Illinois Back To BCS Stage
If Kellen Moore and Colt Brennan could do it, then why not Northern Illinois Jordan Lynch? Lynch received three first-place votes for the Heisman Trophy in 2012, so he is certainly on the radar for some voters out there.
Heisman Watch: Baylor's Bryce Petty Keeps Bears In BCS Hunt
Baylor's Bryce Petty is probably on the outside looking in on the Heisman Trophy, but a trip to New York for the ceremony is well within reach.
Heisman Watch: LSU's Mettenberger Looks To Make Dent In Race Vs. Alabama
By now, we have taken a glance at some of the SEC's Heisman hopefuls like Manziel, McCarron and Murray. But what about the league's second highest-rated passer, LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger?
College Football Spotlight: The Week We Have All Been Waiting For
This is the week college football fans have had circled on the calendar for quite some time. This is the week that will begin to truly shape the BCS Championship picture. This is the week we have been waiting for.
Heisman Watch: Alabama's AJ McCarron Has Little More To Prove
If there is one quarterback in the country you might want leading your offense down field with the game on the line, it may be Alabama's AJ McCarron.
Heisman Watch: Get To Know That Other Quarterback In Oregon, Sean Mannion
The Pac 12 has a few quarterbacks being talked about when discussing the Heisman Trophy this season. While Oregon's Marcus Mariota may be considered the Heisman favorite at this point in the season, Oregon State's Sean Mannion has been doing more than enough to stay in the running, and may be the ultimate sleeper pick this season.
Heisman Watch: FSU's Jameis Winston Not A Victim Of Freshman Mistakes
It takes a truly special year by a freshman to deserve the kind of Heisman respect that leads to an invite to New York. Fortunately for Florida State, freshman quarterback Jameis Winston is having just that kind of season so far.

Earlier this week, shocking news reached us that French designer Nicolas Ghesquière is leaving Balenciaga. The fashion legend has spent fifteen years with the luxury brand and has completely reinvented it since founder Cristóbal Balenciaga died in 1972.
As the fashion world has taken a sharp intake of breath, as well as frantic speculating for an appropriate successor, Fashionista have uncovered a clever Tumblr that's patiently scrolled through endless catwalk collections in homage to Ghesquière. Why? To demonstrate the huge influence he's had on other fashion houses' collections. Genius!
Nicolas has always been massively ahead of the curve in terms of trend setting. Let's be honest, who thought in 2007 when Balenciaga produced metallic suits that five years later every fashion bunny worth their sartorial salt would own one? That same year, the designer took florals in a refreshingly new direction, showing them in a new light as sexy and futuristic, something many other designers only began to explore in the last few seasons. Without a doubt, he's influenced fellow French frock-makers at Celine and Carven.
For impressive research by the Balenciaga Did It First Tumblr site, scroll through the gallery above to see just how ahead-of-the-pack Ghesquière has been during his incredible time at Balenciaga. Here's hoping there'll be more where they came from.

Ever since Chelsea girl Millie Mackintosh revealed her engagement to Hackney rapper Professor Green last month we've been watching out for the first evidence of her hunt for the perfect wedding dress. When we spoke exclusively to the Made In Chelsea star, just after she accepted Pro Green's proposal she told us "I haven't started looking for the dress yet because I want to do it with my family and friends. I do have an idea of what I want, but I'm not going to say!" It seems that Millie has now kicked off the search though as she revealed on Twitter yesterday "Trying on wedding dresses today... Possibly the most excited I've ever been about shopping!" The future Mrs. Green also posted a photo of herself on Instagram wearing a feline-inspired bridal veil with little lace cat ears. Well she is on the prowl for the dream dress, after all.
Talking of white dresses, Elle Fanning shared a Throwback photo of herself dressed as Marilyn Monroe at a Halloween party. The star wore a costume just like the Hollywood icon's outfit from The Seven Year Itch, including a blonde wig, pearl earrings and bright red lips. In the movie Marilyn appears in a white halter neck dress as she stands above a New York subway grate causing the most famous wardrobe malfunction in cinematic history.
And finally, we've got to say a belated happy birthday to Angel Alessandra Ambrosio who turned 32 yesterday. The Victoria's Secret model thanked her followers for the birthday wishes on her Instagram page.
Check out the top Instagram pictures of the day in the gallery above...

It is important that all of our services run smoothly so our responsibilities include:
- Looking after security
- Property management
- Retail facilities

We also have an obligation to minimise our environmental impact so we have a robust corporate responsibility agenda and positive results of which we are very proud. As a business, we want to be a leader in this field.

Glasgow Airport is an asset of strategic national importance, providing employment for more than 7,300 people across Scotland and generating nearly £200 million annually for the economy, more than any other airport in Scotland. As the airport grows, so too will the substantial contribution it makes to Scotland's economic success.

Aerodrome Safeguarding is the process used to ensure that the operation and development of Glasgow Airport is not inhibited by new developments in it's vicinity.

- Lighting schemes
- Telecoms
- Cranes
- Wind turbines
The Airport Operators Association (AOA) has produced several advice notes providing useful information and guidance on safeguarding issues. These can be viewed here
We would advise developers to consider safeguarding issues prior to submitting planning applications and are happy to provide pre-planning advice.
If you have any general enquiries please contact our Safeguarding Manager on 0141 842 7960.
Please send any pre-planning requests to email@example.com

I know it is rather rude to think of it this way and I don't want to offend anyone religiously, but being dead is usually thought of as a very permanent condition in the United States. So why does Spanish use the word 'estar' instead of 'ser' to indicate that condition? Is there some background to this in terms of religion or politeness? If I say 'Mi padre es muerto', would that have a drastically different meaning than if I had used estar, or is the first one just plain incorrect and should never be used at all?
Although it is true that estar usually indicates a non-permanent, temporary condition whereas ser usually signals a permanent condition, you have to take into account that estar is normally used to express a condition resulting from a transformation, process or actual change, and ser is normally used when referring to an inherent characteristic, with no involvement of process, change or transformation; in other words, ser normally has the purpose of including the subject into a certain class.
This explains why there are some adjectives that express a permanent condition but can only be combined with estar: this is so because they express the result of a change or transformation; muerto is one of those adjectives, and another example is roto: el vaso está roto and not el vaso es roto.
Because estar is used to signify that they weren't always dead--that they were once alive.
Ser is used to indicate a state of being--that they were always that way and always will be.
To say
While agreeing with Gonzalo Medina's explanation, I would like to add my rule of thumb for this one. "Ser" means that the property does not change for the object, while "Estar" means a transition.
So, "él está muerto" because he was alive before, but "mi camiseta es verde" because it will not change by itself(*1). In the case of "verde", you can also say "la manzana está aún verde", because while the T-shirt does not change by itself, the apple does.
Soy muerto is not incorrect, just not commonly used:
A la fortuna, de Jorge Manrique (a very good poet)
I think the answer is that while ser defines the subject, estar defines its state.
So one defines characteristics, the other one defines conditions. The rule "permanent", "non permanent" is a good rule, but a rule of thumb, so not always true:
See more on this PPT document "Ser and estar" that gives some simple, yet interesting explanations.

Enroll Now!
Thank You very much for a very well put together introductory class. What I liked best is that you always included tips on how to take things one step further, or how to change items to match other requirements. I learned not only how to use a function, but how to apply it in different environments.
I will now be able to confidently use Access for many applications. Being able to do these lessons on my own schedule was a tremendous plus! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for leading this course! I never would have imagined an online course could be so much fun and educational! Thanks to your course I am able to interact intelligently and collaboratively with co-workers on Access projects now. I am looking forward to taking the intermediate class sometime in the near future.
I truly appreciated this course and feel it has helped me to understand the concepts of setting up a database and making it available to others to use in a friendly way. It has shown me the many ways in which a simple database can be used and how to create the unique reports that a person needs rather than rely on a canned report response. Many thanks to Ms. Fuller as I truly respect her knowledge and appreciate her sharing it with all of us.
All the students owe you a special "Thank you." The class was very interactive and the discussion area really helped in solving the minor problems encountered. Thanks to everyone for their help and participation in the discussion areas. I have enjoyed this class.
Laurie was extremely dependable for prompt responses to my problems with query and report results. Because of my satisfaction with Laurie's course, I am now taking Access Intermediate. Thank you for a great-looking, professional Record of Completion.
I really liked the way in which the lessons were written. I felt like the instructor was actually talking to me. I also really appreciate the encouragement along the way and the extra notes that often anticipated questions or issues that I had with the lesson. I would definitely recommend this class and highly recommend Laurie to others.
This course was just what I needed. I had tried books before, but they largely just tell what each tab and button do. In this course, the teacher used the project to teach how the program worked. Then, when explaining what button to push and why, it all made more sense. I especially liked the inclusion of the reports and the macros. Excellent explanation of the design view, which was such a mystery to me as I tried to work through other intro books. The project-based approach with a lot of direct instruction as required to complete the project is definitely the right approach in my book. Thanks.
Oh, my goodness, Access is amazing, and the way it is being taught makes it easy to follow and understand. Thank you.
I learned more from this class than an in-person class at a local Microsoft training facility. The pace was great. It had examples, so you can learn while doing. The lessons were well written…thank you!
I have really enjoyed your course, I found it clear, easy to understand, and it moved at a nice pace.What other courses do you teach? I would be interested to find out. Thanks for the time and I really have a better respect for how much Access can do.

We made the four hour drive today down to Pensacola Beach, Florida for my last stage race of the year this weekend. This was a great race last year, and I'm looking forward to the road race tomorrow morning and the criterium on Sunday. I'm not looking forward to the time trial, but it should be fun anyway. Here's some pics from my beach pre-ride today.

Razor Ramon !
you could join my wwe fan club.....and talk about this
aight fellah why not
I have to agree with HBK. He has it all.
There are many people with amazing charisma, wrestling skill, and even people with both that just have it all like HBK, but HBK is the top. Would I call him the greatest of all time? Perhaps, but Undertaker falls right next to him. Not out of favoritism because if that was the case, Y2J would be number one, but because Undertaker's name has to be mentioned.
Anyways, HBK.
This one has to fall between HBK and Y2J
Those guys are truly the best in the world at what they do, not Punk i mean dont get me wrong Punk is great but hes not the best. If i had to choose it would probably be HBK
Kane !
HBK imo. that match with Bret Hart top all in my book
Stone Cold, Rock, or HBK. I haven't watched wrestling in over 9 years though.
The Rock, HHH, Stone Cold, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Kane
They Defined the Attitude ERA along with Mankind and these were their best wrestlers
Hulk Hogan,Undertaker, HBK , Chris Jericho and The Rock
Sean Michaels and Triple H, Degeneration X all day *****, all day!
bret hart
HHH and shawn michacals . John cena is improving but hes childish .
My fave wrestler is Edge
Oliver Jones.
I'm sure that was someone's name.
Jobber Power.

the greatest of all time must be the one wrestler that had the most impact on all of wrestling and that by far is stu hart, the man trained more greats then been listed so far and im not just talking about the hart clan
jake the snake roberts million dollar man
I'm not really into this but my b/f and his brother are. So I am doomed to watch this crap each month. After 8-9 years or so I do I have to say I enjoyed watching HBK's matches. My bro in law even cried when he said his goodbyes ( I lol'd so hard at him ). Currently they are rooting for CM Punk and Daniel Bryant.
they also keep yelling the yes and no chants to eachother when they are in one place.
I won't lie, I still watch it every week, I tend to root for Cena, Rock, Triple H, and CM Punk. I am also excited for the WWE Championship match for ??? WWE Champ vs The Rock at Royal Rumble. The WWE Champ will be decided this weekend with CM Punk (Champion for the past 300 days) vs John Cena
I def. don't watch it for the "wrestling" I watch it for what it is....entertainment. Only thing I cringe about are some of the slams because those are real and cannot be faked.

Sebastian Vettel visited our office
It was maybe a little awkward.
By June 11, 2013
Sebastian Vettel, who I believe is now officially the ruler of Canada following his performance on Sunday, stopped by Road & Track's Ann Arbor HQ with Red Bull Racing honcho Christian Horner. The fellas were nice enough to sit down with Krewson and Larry, and...
Well, everyone sat together.
More to come tomorrow. Possibly with actual talking!

Fans in attendance at the Comic Con event in San Diego this week have a chance to meet Christopher Daniels. The former TNA star has a booth there to promote his comic book. Daniels was paid a visit by Daniel Bryan, who was sent to the show by WWE to help promote the upcoming WWE 2K15 video game. The two of them had a nice talk and posed for a social media picture together.
July 25, 2014
For those that are wondering about the fate of 3MB after Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre received their release from WWE earlier in the week, it appears that the company will keep Heath Slater and Hornswoggle together. The two of them worked a tag team match over the weekend at a WWE live event in Canada. The faced Diego and El Torito in a losing effort.
June 15, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of El Torito celebrating Cinco de Mayo with Diego and Fernando before being attacked by Hornswoggle, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre.
May 6, 2014
During the Extreme Rules 2014 kickoff match, El Torito defeated Hornswoggle. He picked up the pin fall victory after jumping off the top rope and driving Hornswoggle through the table. Miniature tables and ladders were utilized during the WeeLC match. Diego, Fernando, Heath Slater, Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre were all involved in the match.
May 4, 2014
In an action filled Wrestlemania 30 kickoff match, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso retained the WWE tag team championship by defeating Diego, Fernando, Curtis Axel, Ryback, Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro in a fatal four way elimination tag team bout. Afterwards, Cesaro did a face turn after Swagger attempted to attack him for being pinned.
April 6, 2014
Rumor has it that there are several people backstage in WWE that are disappointed with how Antonio Cesaro is being utilized at Wrestlemania 30. Instead of being given a big singles match on the pay per view, he is working a kickoff match with Jack Swagger. It also features Jimmy Usu, Jey Uso, Fernando, Diego, Ryback and Curtis Axel.
April 4, 2014
Initially, the belief was that the tag team championships were going to be given some spotlight by WWE at their biggest pay per view of the year, but it has now been announced that Ryback, Curtis Axel, Fernando, Diego, Antonio Cesaro, Jack Swagger, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso are being moved to the Wrestlemania 30 kickoff match spot.
April 1, 2014
When Carlos Colon was announced as an inductee into the WWE hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30, some were under the belief that Diego and Fernando would be receiving a little push in order to promote the induction. However, it is much too late to do that, so management might simply put the two of them into the Andre the Giant memorial battle royal match instead.
March 19, 2014
While nothing has been made official yet in regards to who will be inducting Carlos Colon, Carlito has revealed that he will be definitely be at Wrestlemania 30 to watch his father being inducted into the hall of fame that weekend. The belief is that WWE will have the former US champion, Diego and Fernando all inducting Colon in the segment.
March 18, 2014
Since the company is expected to have Carlito, Diego and Fernando all inducting Carlos Colon into the hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30, there are talks that WWE could try to convince the former United States Heavyweight Champion to make his return as an in ring performer. The Los Matadores gimmick has not exactly drawn in the fans, so the trio could be paired together.
March 17, 2014
Even though he did not leave the company on the best of terms, Carlito is said to be returning to WWE at Wrestlemania 30 to induct his father Carlos Colon into the hall of fame. The belief is that his brother Diego and his cousin Fernando will also be a part of the induction ceremony as well. The induction announcement for Colon will be made during Smackdown this Friday.
March 13, 2014
In a rather surprising move, WWE will be inducting Carlos Colon into their hall of fame at Wrestlemania 30. He is a legend in Puerto Rico and the father of Carlito and Diego. Many felt that since he was included in the class last year in New York City that management had no interest in giving him the honor. Colon himself called it a surprise.
March 12, 2014
Since management wanted to test out the developmental wrestlers to see if they were ready to be called up to the main roster, the Ascension, a tag team consisting of Conor OBrian and Rick Victor, were given a match against Diego and Fernando at the big live event in New York City this weekend. WWE even paired Vickie Guerrero up with them. Unfortunately, though, the crowd was silent and indifferent towards the duo, thus hurting their chances of being promoted.
March 9, 2014
In his quest to become the public announcer for the San Diego Padres, Adam Pearce has been going through several rounds of auditions. The former NWA Heavyweight Champion recently revealed through Twitter that he has advanced yet another round.
March 8, 2014
Since the company was doing shows simultaneously at both ends of the state, WWE decided to book Rey Mysterio up north instead of doing the show in his hometown. That turned out to be quite the costly mistake for management, as the show in San Diego drew very poorly at the gates without the popular masked star.
February 21, 2014
Many within WWE have already chalked up the El Torito gimmick as a bust. Management were hoping that he could help elevate Diego and Fernando, but the audience has simply not connected with the trio. Torito will be kept around, though, as his contract is reasonably priced and kids at live events seem to enjoy his presence.
February 19, 2014
Los Matadores defeated Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro at Hell in a Cell after the masked duo hit their tag team finisher on Swagger.

After 10 years of incentive regulation, reliability has declined in Ontario. Regulators failed to enforce service-quality standards, and consumers are suffering as a result.
Bringing Customers On Board
Realizing the benefits of smart meters.
many of these plants go idle for long periods of time, and economies of scale never are achieved until general consumption patterns rise to threshold levels. Customers ultimately pay the price for these investments through rate-case adjustments, and the costs are always there regardless of plant utilization.
On the surface, AMI technology represents a maturation of communications and data technologies for the utility industry. AMI meters take automated meter reading (AMR) to a new level, facilitating two-way communications between utility control center operations and installed end points. While much of this technology has existed for years in supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) solutions, AMI represents a coming of age for the utility industry and its participants.
In its most simplistic sense, AMI initiatives have the capability to transform utility operations, utility cost structures, customer services, the cost of services, and decision making through a new flood of data that wasn't readily available before. However, data alone will not improve the situation for the customer. Smart utilities should be able to improve efficiencies and drive down some system costs by implementing smart-metering systems and infrastructures. Examples include: reductions in labor and overhead expenses associated with manual meter-reading operations, remote connect and disconnect capabilities and missing meter reads and estimation procedures; increases in productivity gains associated with the shortened cash-conversion cycles and accounts receivables; and decreases in unbilled energy costs associated with revenue protection and energy monitoring.
Are these cost savings enough to justify the cost of AMI and meter data management (MDM) systems implementations? Probably not, given the many other competing pressures, regulations, and issues presented so far. This change by itself alters only the utility's approach. Completing a successful transition to the new paradigm and realizing the hoped-for return on investment (ROI) is where the residential and commercial customer comes in.
Reducing Costs with DSM
As noted previously, customers continue to voice their displeasure with rising costs, unpredictable variances, and overall service. Regulators continue to voice concerns and enact regulations designed to further reduce operating costs through less costly, alternative energy sources and improvements to infrastructures. Because customers have the potential to reduce overall and event-specific consumption, demand-side management (DSM) theory and programs have risen to the forefront of solution discussions. If they can reduce overall demand, utilities may be able to limit or postpone the huge investment in additional generation sources that otherwise would be required to meet peak demand and regulatory requirements.
But DSM tactics rely upon actions to reduce or shift demand. AMI and smart-metering processes can provide the visibility that both customers and utilities require to take action, but the critical response actions must come from the customer. Drawing inferences from other industries such as consumer products, healthcare, and financial services, one can see that combining a rich flow of data with the ability to use it has contributed to the transformation of both cost structures and customer behavior. The utility industry is no different—perhaps just a bit behind other industries in implementing these solutions. Utilities do, however, face some complications and challenges associated with re-engineering customer

Can't mount CD ROM

Post subject: Can't mount CD ROM
Sorry, back with more questions.
Like it says, I can't seem to mount a CDROM - the disk and drive should be ok, as they are the ones used to do the installation. The drive is a Samsung unit with the regular IDE interface.
If I use the user mount tool from the system tools menu, it comes back with an error - mount: not a directory. The entries there for CDROM are /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Trying manually from a terminal (straight from booting, no previous attempt to mount the CD):
[steve@localhost steve]$ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: only root can do that
[steve@localhost steve]$ su
[root@localhost steve]# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
/dev/cdrom: Input/output error
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/cdrom: Input/output error
mount: /dev/cdrom already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy
[root@localhost steve]#
heres /etc/fstab:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
Any suggestions please?

Post subject:
well,thats odd....I can usually mount a cdrom as a user by typing in this
mount /mnt/cdrom
It should work fine....probably the mount tool was still using that device...I hate when that happens. But anyway you should be able to mount a cdrom as a user.

I'm used that working on my SuSE box, but on this one all I get is:

Have you tried different CDs? Try some of these:
mount /dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom
mount /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom
Substitute your CD drive for /dev/hdd (e.g. /dev/hdc or /dev/hdb).
Also, is it a burner? Is there a line in /etc/grub.conf with "ide-scsi" in it?
Posted: Fri Sep 17, 2004 11:33 pm
Post subject:
Perhaps a silly suggestion but does the folder cdrom even exist in the /mnt folder? It is easy to overlook these things.
Posted: Fri Sep 17, 2004 11:46 pm
Post subject:
Hmm. This is a bit weird. Two folks can't mount CDs suddenly. Hmm. You're running 10k though, right? I think the other user is using 20k.
Posted: Sat Sep 18, 2004 8:14 am
Post subject:
Responding to several posts:
/mnt/cdrom does exist as a directory. Owner is root, all others have read and execute permissions.
I'm running 10k - as an experiment trying to sort out the SCSI stuff, I did try installing the latest 20k (v00081) but it stalled after the initial isolinux load, saying that it couldn't find a valid blag CD in the drive. Maybe that's linked? I can read that CD fine on other computers.
Tried mount /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom, and got the dialog from my earlier post starting with 'only root can do that'...
/dev/scd0 doesn't work - not a valid block device.
The drive is not a burner. There's no 'ide-scsi' reference in grub. Here's grub.conf:
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,0)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hdb2
# initrd /initrd-version.img
title "BLAG" (2.4.22-1.2188.nptl)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
initrd /initrd-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl.img
Thanks for the inputs.

Try to add "user" in device description in fstab, that allows everyone to mount/umount cdrom with uninstalling the gnome automount tool.
If you are running Gnome, the automount tool was buggy and with no utility because you can mount/umount listed devices in fstab by rightclicking on desktop (Gnome).

I think I might have tried that - I tried so many things I can'r remember any more! I've come to the conclusion that there's something wierd either all in the motherboard, or between the motherboard and the particular Samsung CDROM drive. I hooked up an old Mitumi X8 drive and it works fine under Blag with the Gnome automounter, desktop right click thingy and command line. I wanted to use this computer to experiment with different Linux versions, but the others I've tried can't find either brand of CDROM for installation after the initial boot.
I think it's time to cut my losses.

Just a quick suggestion, did you check the jumpers? Sometimes you have to change to slave or cable select to get it run right, sometimes doing a straight slave off the hard drive my experience some cdroms are a bit flakey on some boards Just a suggestion you may have all ready this tryed it though... :)

Technology not only makes life easier; according to Wolf Custom Homes in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, it can also help sell homes. The builder recently hired P.J. Aucoin of Home Concepts, Calgary, to design and install systems that would help showcase the craftsmanship of the 9,000-square-foot custom-built residence—and would automatically adjust its settings to suit the unique selling style of three different employees.
Normally hired to provide electronic systems to people in the process of building or remodeling their homes, Aucoin took cues primarily from Wolf Custom Homes' lead designer. Good lighting throughout the house would be crucial to the sales process, as would the ability to share information about the builder with customers without coming across as being too aggressive. Distributed audio would be an important feature, in case a salesperson felt it beneficial to play music in the background during tours with customers. None of these tasks in and of themselves are that difficult to handle; however, flipping switches and twisting knobs to get it done can be time consuming and distracting to prospective buyers.
Per custom programming of the Elan g! system by Aucoin, the Wolf salespeople can put the house into sales mode by pressing just one button on the screen of a Elan touchpanel. Aucoin set it up so that each salesperson has his/her own button which arranges the video and lighting to his/her liking. For example, a button for the salesperson who shows the house mainly in the evenings, activates many of the accent lights to accentuate decorative and architectural features. The daytime salesperson's button, on the other hand, puts every light on at full bright, activates all of six flat-panel TVs, and plays a Blu-ray video (audio from the Blu-ray can be heard through built-in speakers throughout). There's also a button that turns on all of the lights, but only some of the TVs, as chosen by the third salesperson. Aucoin even crafted a setting for the cleaning crew. This one puts on every light at its brightest and cues the whole-house music system to pipe through the home's Niles in-ceiling and Stealth Acoustic invisible in-wall loudspeakers. And when the tour (or cleaning) is finished, touching another button turns everything off, except for some outdoor lighting, which at night stays on for five minutes before turning off to give visitors enough time to safely get to their cars.
Aucoin wired the house so that each room can be fitted with an Elan touchpanel, but for now, the house is controlled from a touchpanel in the sales center, a room that could be used as a bedroom eventually. Also prepped for technology are several outdoor living areas, where Aucoin expects speakers and TVs to be installed.
Pictures from inside the home can be found here.

This tree-topper showcases the artwork of renowned holiday artist Thomas Kinkade as Santa spins 'round the crown of a Christmas tree. Suspended by a golden spring, eight reindeer draw Santa's well-laden sleigh in circles around an illuminated eight-point star that rests atop the tree. The richly detailed sleigh is brimming with toys, and all eight reindeer blankets bear a rendition of a classic Kinkade holiday painting, visible on both sides. The tree topper can plug into the end of a light strand so its light and motion activate whenever the tree is lit. Each handcrafted and hand-painted tree topper is numbered and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Power supply plugs into AC. 7 1/2" H x 7" W x 9 3/4" L. (6 oz.)

Worked once
By Melissa in NH
from New Hampshire
It looks really nice, & I enjoyed watching it the first night it was on the tree. What I didn't realize is the Santa stops going around after 3 hours & the star is no longer lite. We have a 12 ft tree & it is not convenient to try & turn a switch every 3 hours. I thought that if we shut off the tree & turned it back on the Santa would start turning again, but no! The star comes back on but not Santa, we have to look at it but I think where half of it works but not all of it, it may need to be returned.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

really cute, but could be better
By tara
from ny
it is adorable, but I know of three major flaws that could be improved: (i) the star lights up a dull yellow and it should be a bright white, (ii) it goes off after a couple of hours, but it should work as long as the tree is plugged in, and (iii) the screw holes didn't match and we had to re-drill in it to put it together

Associated Press
GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) -- The morning routine started before dawn with a prisoner chanting the Muslim call to prayer through a small opening in the heavy steel door of his cell as soldiers with face shields quietly paced in the dimly lit corridor. The calm did not last long.
Within minutes, troops began rushing about, the words "code yellow" echoing through their handheld radios. The emergency was a prisoner in another cellblock who did not appear to be moving, prompting the urgent call to the medics to come check him, something they have been called upon to do many times in recent weeks, said the Army captain in charge of the maximum-security section of the Guantanamo Bay prison known as Camp 5.
"Recently, it's been happening very frequently," said the captain, whose name the military would not allow to be released for security reasons.
Officials later said the man who sparked the alarm Thursday was OK, merely faint and dizzy, and he did not have to be hospitalized as others have had amid a weeks-old hunger strike at the prison. Still, it was an illustration of just how tense Guantanamo has become of late, with more than a third of prisoners refusing to eat and nearly everyone locked down for most of the day since a violent clash with guards on- April 13. At least two detainees have tried to kill themselves since that confrontation between guards in riot gear and prisoners with broomsticks and metal bars.
Prison officials opened the prison to journalists from The Associated Press and three other news organizations this week, portraying the atmosphere as tense but under control at this detention center that has been open for 11 years and now holds 166 men, most without charge.
The visit came with certain restrictions. Among them was a prohibition on identifying by name certain officials, such as the Muslim cultural affairs adviser who blamed the recent troubles, including the expanding hunger strike, on a small group of jihadist "troublemakers" who he says are trying to make sure at least one fellow prisoner commits suicide.
"Are they done? No, they are not done yet. And there will be more than one death," said the Arab-American adviser, who goes by the name "Zak" and has worked at the prison since September 2005.
Seven prisoners have killed themselves over the years at Guantanamo. The most recent, last September, was Adnan Latif, who took an overdose of prescription psychiatric medicine. Though the government had accused him of training with the Taliban in Afghanistan, he was not being prosecuted nor could he be sent back to his native Yemen, which is considered too unstable to control former Guantanamo prisoners.
It is the uncertainty over when, if ever, the men held at Guantanamo will be released that has caused widespread despair and frustration among prisoners, lawyers for the men say. President Barack Obama ordered the detention center closed upon taking office, but Congress thwarted him and made it harder to move prisoners elsewhere. Releases and transfers have since become rare.
"Until such time as our government starts to do the right thing in connection with Guantanamo Bay, the frustration is only going to continue to build, and I can't imagine what the outcome will be," said Navy Lt. Cmdr. Kevin Bogucki, a military lawyer visiting clients at the base this week.
Journalists are not permitted to interview prisoners and can see them only from afar, passing time in cramped recreation pens under a glaring Caribbean sun or, watched on a security monitor via a camera in each cell, pacing back and forth in beige-walled cells.
Prisoners to Guantanamo were first held in open cages, but conditions improved under President George W. Bush and Obama.
In March 2012, officials were proudly saying that 80 percent of the men were living in a communal setting at the prison's Camp 6, free to spend 22 hours a day roaming about their pods and recreation yards with fellow prisoners, watching more than two dozen satellite television channels and taking language lessons and other classes. The military had begun allowing some to make Skype calls to their families and was about to provide a DVD player to every detainee so they wouldn't have to fight over what to watch.
Things went bad on Feb. 6. That's when troops went into Camp 6 and began a shakedown for contraband and seized a number of personal items. Prisoners soon began complaining that their Qurans had been mishandled and their treatment had suddenly worsened. Then they launched what has become the most sustained hunger strike in years at the prison.
