Germany to Insist on Assimilation?
The mass immigration from Islamic countries into central and western Europe has been a debacle, particularly in those countries the migrants have selected as desirable destinations, like Germany and Sweden. (Who wouldn't?) In Germany, the disaster has been such that in at least one poll, 40% of Germans want Chancellor Angela Merkel to resign over her refugee policy. So Germany's government is trying to adopt a more rational approach toward »
Guardian Declares Discussion of Immigration Off Limits
The Guardian, Britain's left-wing newspaper, has decided to ban or limit comments on articles that deal with immigration, race or Islam. The paper's explanation is interesting: Certain subjects – race, immigration and Islam in particular – attract an unacceptable level of toxic commentary, believes Mary Hamilton, our executive editor, audience. By "race, immigration and Islam," she means Islamic immigration. This is of course a controversial subject. What does she mean »
Swedes Fight Back
We wrote here about the refugee crisis in Europe, including the fact that hundreds of Moroccan "youths" have taken over Stockholm's central train station, stealing, assaulting women and attacking security guards. Last night, fifty or more Swedish men, described in some accounts as suspected soccer fans, decided they had had enough and swept through the train station, attacking and driving out the Moroccans who were living there. The Daily Mail »
Jeb Bush's strange defense of his immigration flip-flop
Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio weren't the only candidates exposed in last night's debate as having changed their position on immigration reform. Rubio pointed out that Jeb Bush has also changed his. Bush's current position, and the one set forth in a book he wrote (with an eye, surely, towards a presidential run) is that illegal immigrants should have a path to legalization but not to citizenship. But when Sen. »
Does Europe Have a Future? [Updated]
That is a question that could be repeated daily, given the steady stream of news stories like these. First, from Germany, where New Year's Eve turned into a nightmare of sexual assault with hundreds of women being attacked by migrants, a report on several cities' preparations for Carnival: Cologne and Bonn carnival organisers have begun handing out rules for refugees for next week's jollity – with warnings about women, alcohol »
Europe's Immigration Policies? Not Likely to End Well.
We have covered extensively the outbreak of gang sexual assaults that occurred in Germany on New Year's Eve, most notably in Cologne. Most recent reports suggest that as many as 600 German women may have been sexually abused by Islamic immigrants on New Year's Eve in Cologne, alone. Similar outrages occurred across Western Europe. So the Europeans are scrambling to accommodate millions of immigrants, while fending off "far right" forces »
Migrants Storm Calais Ferry
Earlier today, a group of around 500 Middle Eastern migrants broke off from a demonstration protesting conditions in a migrant camp in Calais and stormed the ferry that crosses the Channel to England: The port of Calais was temporarily closed on Saturday after a ferry was stormed by 50 migrants from the nearby "Jungle" camp, earlier visited by Jeremy Corbyn. Up to 500 migrants had broken off from a protest »
Let's hear it for Senator Perdue
When Democratic presidents nominate leftist minority group members to the federal bench, it's win-win for them. Either they get a leftist confirmed plus the right to brag about how much they're doing for minorities or the Democrats can castigate Republicans for being mean to minorities. The nomination of Dax Lopez to the federal district court for the Northern District of Georgia is a classic example. Lopez is Hispanic (and Jewish »
The Latest Immigration Scandal: Overstayed Visas
Yesterday the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency issued a report titled "Entry/Exit Overstay Report, Fiscal Year 2015." The report is limited in scope: it relates only to overstays of individuals admitted as temporary visitors for business or pleasure. It does not include overstays of visa categories like students or workers on H-1B or H-2B visas, and it covers only one year. Nevertheless, the figures are staggering. The Border Protection »
Supreme Court to hear executive amnesty case
The Supreme Court decided today to review a decision adverse to the government in the legal challenge to President Obama's overhaul of the nation's immigration rules. At issue is a program that would allow as many as five million illegal immigrants who are the parents of citizens or of lawful permanent residents to apply for a program under which they would receive work permits and avoid the possibility of deportation. »
Sweden's Immigration Cover-Up
All across Europe, the cover-up is unravelling. For ideological reasons, and to a lesser degree due to misguided economic theories, Western Europe's elites have pretended that importing millions of Muslims from countries ranging from Morocco to Afghanistan raises no issues and creates no problems. That this is untrue has been obvious for a long time, starting with the Turkish "guest workers" who never leave. But recent events have ripped the »
Headline of the Day
Okay, it's only a little after 9:30 eastern time, but I'm pretty sure this yuuuge story in the Wall Street Journal will not only win the day but will also show up in a Donald Trump speech pretty soon: Denmark Considers Seizing Valuables From Migrants By Charles Duxbury Denmark's minority government has secured cross-party backing for a highly-controversial plan: Seize cash and valuables from asylum seekers to help meet the cost »
Hillary gets her mind right
Democratic orthodoxy is fundamentally hostile to immigration law that imposes real limits. It adheres to doctrinaire Lennonism at its core: "Imagine there's no countries/It isn't hard to do." It's even easier to "imagine" if you make the concept of illegal immigration a thoughtcrime, as it has become in the Democratic Party. In the video below, Fusion's Jorge Ramos asks Madam Hillary if she will banish the term "illegal immigrant from »
Europe's Dishonest Elites, and Ours
A reader writes to comment on the mass sexual assaults that have been taking place in Germany, and efforts to cover them up or mischaracterize them: The German situation is even worse than you presented. Sure, the Cologne police chief got fired, but the despicable mayor hasn't resigned. And, sure, there has been some scrambling and slithering by left politicians, including, mirabile dictu, Angela Merkel, Mutti herself, to tap dance »
Sex Crimes Across Germany: The Coverup Unravels
Britain's Daily Mail must be one of the world's oddest news sources, but occasionally it does some good original reporting. That is the case with respect to its coverage of the epidemic of sexual assault that has erupted across Germany: [Michelle] is just one of 120 women who were abused that horrific night in the [cathedral] square, which is dotted with bars, nightclubs and coffee shops, and is where Cologne »
Germany cracks down on speech by citizens enraged over its immigration policy
During my time at law school, I had to good fortune to study under a great scholar of the Constitution, rather than, say, a glib community organizer. That scholar was Gerald Gunther. Gunther was born in Germany in 1927. His Jewish family had deep roots in Germany, and Gunther said they were reluctant to leave even as the Nazi government increasingly oppressed Jews. Young Gunther, unaffected by tradition, had no »
"Mrs. Merkel Invited Me"
In a coda to the New Year's Eve rampages in Cologne and elsewhere in Germany that Scott and I wrote about here and here, a leaked police report describing the outrages that occurred in Cologne has been published in the German press.

A "Brothers & Sisters" alum is keeping it all in the family (-centered sitcoms).
Dave Annable will guest as a hottie college professor on an upcoming episode of Fox's critical hit "Ben and Kate."
In the episode, Kate (played by Dakota Johnson) resolves to go back to school, and is determined to focus on her studies at university. BJ (played Lucy Punch), however, encourages Kate to let her hair down and have fun. The two ladies take an ethics class together that Greg (played by Annable) teaches. Greg apparently "doesn't always practice what he teaches."
Annable recently starred on ABC's "666 Park Avenue," which is now canceled. He also appeared in the film "What's Your Number?" and the TV series "Reunion."
Johnson appeared in "The Social Network" and "The Five Year Engagement," and Punch has been seen in "Bad Teacher" and "Hot Fuzz."
The "Ben and Kate" episode is currently scheduled to air Tuesday, Feb. 26 (perhaps as a gift for this writer's birthday). Nat Faxon ("Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" and also "Bad Teacher") also stars on the show.
"Ben and Kate" airs Tuesdays at 8:30 ET/ 7:30 CT on Fox.

Seafoamgreen slate, what a find !
I've went to the same LPS for 5+ years. Yesterday i noticed thier tanks were in poor condition and they were running a 50% and 75% off sale.I asked the mgr if they were closing thier doors, she said no, still i asked about a cave formation i had been admiring for years she thanked me for asking and sold it to me for 50% off, so my total was only $20 for 7 pieces of beveled slate, i"ve never seen any like it before.They kept blue crabs on it, i hope my fish look good with it. My lower level fish will be purple danios and blue neons oh cherry shrimp too and yo-yos. Ant suggestions on disinfecting please feel free.The tank it was from was good.
Why would you mix yoyos and shrimps?
I'm a big fan of boiling wood. Is slate considered rock? If so, a boil is a no go. I would never put anything in my tank that came from another tank, no matter how good it looked, without disinfecting it first. I have no idea how to disinfect slate. Sounds like a great find. Your yoyos are gonna love it :-)
Yoyos would eat shrimp, yes??
Yoyos can eat any invertebrates. They're a poor choice with invertebrates. Kuhlis and hillstreams would be your best bets but hillies prefer cooler waters with powerful currents.
Slates are rocks but boiling is fine as these do not collect heat pressure which is responsible for most incidents involving rocks exploding.
Oh my those little guys eat cherry shrimp. Well it's back to stocking plan 1. There will be no shrimp.Those reds would look so good on my black substrate.
Well, yoyos also look good on black substrate :-) . If you can't keep five yoyos (they really do need a minimum of 5 to truly thrive) maybe you should do a bunch of cherry shrimp instead??
Opps..just saw you ordered the hillstream...NM
Thank you both so much.Yous saves me.

|Ron Paul Will Re-Legalize the Constitution
|Commentary/Politics - Editorials
|Wednesday, 19 December 2007 02:29
Ron Paul, the 10-term Republican congressman from Texas, is running for president, and his candidacy warrants much more exposure than the mainstream media has afforded the voting public. Dr. Paul, an OB/GYN and former Air Force flight surgeon, has a sterling conservative, limited-government voting record over 20 years. The Wall Street Journal wrote last week, "As the GOP front-runners address crowds of dispirited primary voters, Mr. Paul has been tearing across the country, leaving a trail of passionate devotees in his wake."
Last month supporters donated more than $4 million to Ron Paul's campaign in one 24- hour period, a record for any GOP candidate ever. On December 16, the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, more than 50,000 supporters donated more than $6 million in one day. His campaign has received more donations from active military personnel than any other candidate. He is the only GOP candidate to increase campaign cash every quarter and has raised more in the fourth quarter than any so called "front-runner." All of this without one dollar from PACs or corporate interests - all from individual voters.
His is the most-searched-for name among presidential contenders on Google, more than Hillary or Obama. He has more than 63,000 video clips on YouTube, four times as many as Hillary. He has more than 40,000 subscribers and more than 6.4 million channel views. Romney is the next most popular GOP candidate with 3,500 subscribers and 900,000 channel views. Remember the song lyric "The revolution will not be televised"? Well, maybe not on broadcast television, but the Internet and YouTube are to grassroots politics what the Gutenberg press was to 16th Century church reformists.
So if Ron Paul is so popular, why is he not leading in the polls, and why is he not getting more media coverage as the grassroots phenomenon that he is? Because his message undermines the very establishment that supports traditional mass media. This status quo, gorging at the trough of public subsidies, quietly enjoying the benefits of big government, costly wars, and an unconstitutional central banking monetary system would much rather not have to contend with the likes of Dr. Ron Paul. That's why the same Wall Street Journal editorial that begrudgingly lauds his success as "holding lessons for leading Republican candidates" prefaces this with: "Mr. Paul isn't going to be president."
Ron Paul has stated that he has his own faults but his campaign's message is flawless, and he's right. Ron Paul's message is that American government has lost its way entirely. It has encumbered future generations with trillions in debt to support an interventionist foreign policy resulting in illegal, unconstitutional foreign wars while simultaneously unduly empowering the executive branch and eroding our civil liberties with such unconstitutional laws as the PATRIOT Act and the Military Commissions Act. Ron Paul is the only GOP candidate running on peace as a platform, citing George W's kinder, gentler non-nation-building promises. Much to the dismay of pundits and his fellow candidates, Ron Paul repeatedly refers back to the Constitution as the fountainhead for solutions to America's chronic big-government problems. He reminds us that the Department of Education, the IRS, the CIA, NAFTA, and the Federal Reserve are all unconstitutional. To date no one has refuted any of these factual statements. The results of these unconstitutional institutions can no longer be called successful or effective.
Ron Paul reminds us that the Constitution's intent was to restrain the role of government in our personal lives, not the opposite. Ron Paul reminds us that America can spread the merits of democracy throughout the world by practicing what it preaches first here at home - rather than through unconstitutional foreign aid and occupational wars. Ron Paul's formula for success consists of a non-interventionist foreign policy, cutting spending and the size of the government back to what it was 10 years ago, and thus having no need for the unconstitutional IRS.
And Ron Paul is not just staying on-topic and nailing down his talking points. He walks the walk and has a 20-year voting record to prove it. He has never voted to raise taxes, has never voted for an unbalanced budget, has never voted to raise congressional pay, has never taken a government-paid junket, has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch, has never voted to regulate the Internet, and does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program. He voted against the PATRIOT Act and NAFTA and any legislation that robbed the Social Security fund.
Lobbyists avoid Ron Paul. They know that he won't forsake his sworn duty to uphold the Constitution in exchange for special favors or campaign cash. Ron Paul is the real deal. He doesn't skirt issues, or spin answers, and he's a wealth of knowledge on every single topic that is thrown at him ... when the media takes the time to actually ask him questions, that is.
yourself and America's next generations a favor, and get to know
Ron Paul before the January 3 caucuses. Is there a downside to
re-legalizing the Constitution?

The challenges that it tackles
Large scale urban design is good at making connections, at supporting economic growth, and resolving competing priorities. Cross boundary working is also highly relevant for environmental issues.
CABE has worked with many of the cross-boundary organisations set up to tackle big scale challenges, whether economic, financial or environmental. Our experience of these sub-regional development bodies, joint planning units and regeneration partnerships suggests that they could usefully adopt a more creative and collaborative approach to planning and delivering change.
Our research showed that their approach could be improved by focusing more on the physical aspects of a place. Indeed, one of the strengths of the new large scale urban design approach is the way that it focuses on improving the quality and distinctiveness of a place by considering social, economic and environmental performance at the same time as its physical characteristics.
Facilitating economic growth
In many places goods manufacturing has been replaced with knowledge-based and service sectors, which rely heavily on access to a skilled workforce. These sectors tend to cluster into specialised centres with strong links and complementary relationships within natural economic areas.
Increasingly, competitiveness of places depends on attracting and retaining the right people, which in turn is dependent on providing a distinctive and high quality living and working environment. Economic performance is also affected by how well the physical structure of the natural wider area is designed to facilitate clustering and linkages between the economic centres within it.
Where areas are failing to thrive because they are poorly connected to facilities and economic opportunities, large scale urban design will identify the most appropriate response.
Using financial resources efficiently
When public budgets are tight and there is limited private finance, it is essential to address competing priorities.
This means that many public services, and most large scale infrastructure, should be considered across boundaries. Whether evaluating or planning the provision of utilities, transport, higher education institutions or hospitals, there are significant efficiencies to be made through involving all parties in a timely way. This is a key benefit from using large scale urban design.
Achieving environmental sustainability
Many environmental challenges – such as water management, flood prevention, increasing biodiversity and generating low carbon energy – can be addressed most effectively by cross-boundary action. These need to be dealt with alongside social and economic issues, for example managing the seemingly insatiable desire for travel and flows of people and goods whilst reducing resource use and facilitating 'greener' lifestyles.
Managing large schemes and masterplanning
Large scale urban design can be used to instigate and orchestrate the delivery of developments like big retail and employment centres and large housing developments and transport infrastructure. It ensures each project is considered within a wider spatial, economic and social context. This approach maximises the value of investment and spreads the benefits brought about by the development across the whole area and to all sectors of the population.

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Shelby Miller gave up a leadoff single then retired 27 in a row for his first career complete game, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to a 3-0 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
Eric Young Jr. had a line drive hit to right field to start the game for the Rockies but Miller (5-2) gave up nothing else in his first shutout. The right-hander struck out Young to end it with his 13th K, tying a Cardinals rookie record.
The one-hitter was the fewest hits allowed by a Cardinals pitcher since Bud Smith tossed a no-hitter on Sept. 3, 2001, and it was the second one-hitter of the night in the major leagues. Boston's Jon Lester was perfect until he allowed a two-out double in the sixth against Toronto.

Too Hot?
February 13, 2013
Though Kim Kardashian is set to be a new mom, it didn't stop her from flaunting these eyebrow-raising shots she just posted on her Instagram account. In the provocative pics, the reality show queen flaunts her fit physique in nothing but a gray bra and a high-waist patent leather skirt. Though it's unclear whether or not these are brand-new shots -- if it is -- we gotta admit that she carries her baby weight well!
Are these cleavage-baring pics super-sexy, or a little inappropriate given that she's pregnant?

Automounting card readers and USB keys using autofs
Posted by chris on Mon 25 Apr 2005 at 12:57
Following on to the previous article on Card Readers and USB keys using udev we can go one step further and get automounting working.
Most of the information here is taken from http://www.greenfly.org/tips/autofs.html but is modified to match the information from the udev article. The naming conventions of the config files etc are taken from the greenfly article - which includes many more things you can do with autofs :)
Getting autofs
Again - on sarge or sid it should be as simple as
apt-get install autofs
We want to replace the following /etc/fstab settings
/dev/card_sd1 /media/sd vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/card_cf1 /media/cf vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/card_sm1 /media/sm vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/card_ms1 /media/ms vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/mobiledisk /media/mobiledisk vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0
Step 1 - configure autofs
Edit /etc/auto.master - add the line
/var/autofs/removable /etc/auto.removable --timeout=2
This means that autofs will watch the /var/autofs/removable directory, using the configure file /etc/auto.removable and with a 2 second timeout for disconnection (how long to wait before you can pull the device).
Step 2 - configure auto.removable
Remember from the udev article and the fstab listed above that we are interested in the /dev/card_xx devices, plus the /dev/mobiledisk USB key. So - in /etc/auto.removable (new file) add
card_cf -fstype=vfat,rw,gid=100,umask=002 :/dev/card_cf1 card_sm -fstype=vfat,rw,gid=100,umask=002 :/dev/card_sm1 card_ms -fstype=vfat,rw,gid=100,umask=002 :/dev/card_ms1 card_sd -fstype=vfat,rw,gid=100,umask=002 :/dev/card_sd1 mobiledisk -fstype=vfat,rw,gid=100,umask=002 :/dev/mobiledisk
Step 3 - restart autofs and test
/etc/init.d/autofs restart
Stick a card in one of the slots (say the sd card) - and try
ls /var/autofs/removable/card_sd/
You should get the directory listing of the card - for my Nikon I get
dcim/ misc/ nikon001.dsc*
Step 4 - Linking in to the system
In the udev article we used the /media directory for mount points. Remove any cf, sd, ms, sm or mobiledisk directories and replace them with symlinks
ln -s /var/autofs/removable/card_cf cf ln -s /var/autofs/removable/card_sd sd ln -s /var/autofs/removable/card_ms ms ln -s /var/autofs/removable/card_sm sm ln -s /var/autofs/removable/mobiledisk mobiledisk
Now you should be able to e.g.
ls -l /media/sd/
and see the cards contents. 2 seconds later it's safe to pull the card/key from the machine.
Notes on the mount options
Using the gid of 100 and a umask of 002 sets the device to rwxrwxr-x root.users. You can add a uid=1000 (or whatever your uid is to set it so that only your user can access the cards contents. You may want to set noexec or similar - especially if keeping root.users
Once again - thanks to greenfly.org for the background info here - I would recommend folk to take a look at http://www.greenfly.org/tips/autofs.html for further ideas :)
Thanks again!

pmount settings need to be altered in configuration files (in Debian, the package is installed by default with normal user access turned off for security reasons - read the docs)
In the case of two identical drives, the device will be mounted on /media using the filesystem label, which can be changed or added using tune2fs or equivalent for other fs, as long as there is no reference to it in /etc/fstab.
under desktop preferences => removable drives and media there is a tab where you can check/uncheck automount, browse, etc.
So: plug in the drive and and icon appears on the desktop, and a browser opens if you want.
Drawbacks: The suid bit is not set under pmount, so write access is denied to the normal user by default. The program does not allow for safely unmounting the fs prior to unplugging, so the user has to remember to right ckick the icon and select unmount prior to unplugging.
Hope this helps on that one.

Project utopia (iirc) does _not_ use autofs, but I might be mistaking
[ Parent | Reply to this comment ]

Maybe /etc/hotplug.d/usb, and then run autofs off a /dev/mapper/blah event? Make life a lot easier.
Any input?

It would be nice to extend this so that ls /smb/servername/mount does the expected thing. This would be similar to what you'd need to do - both script and mount.
Have to say that hotplug is still a black-box for me - it's on the list of "things to play with".
[ Parent | Reply to this comment ]

-fstype=smbfs \ /share1 ://server/share1 /share2 ://server/share2
So - scripting in autofs is scripting to generate the config details.
What are you using for the encryption? I've used loop-aes - and you can then add the loop=/dev/loop1,encryption=AES128 options to the autofs config the same way as any other mount options - but - how to enter the password that loop-aes prompts for I'm not sure.
I do know that passwords can be difficult. I've used lufs to mount over ssh (with ssh keys) but we use ssh-agent and that needs a password. No idea how to send it in :(
[ Parent | Reply to this comment ]

This allows me to use a keyfile in place of a password for the partition or device initialisation off an encrypted root, with single command. Can use AES with essid and a sha256 seed...
Check here: http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=HomePage
Works good on an encrypted root, home, and swap (though the 126.96.36.199 kernel tends to thrash a bit in the cryptoswap - be warned)
I'm thinking more along the lines of running this, which will give the system a mapping for the device in dev/mapper/blah and then mount and unmount through autofs when the mapping is there (dev/mapper/blah shows up).
Briefly, /dev/mapper/blah ain't there until it's told to be by the cryptsetup command. After it's there, you can format it using mkfs (or whatever), mount it, and use it normally. Only gotta format once. Shutdown. Reboot. To get the device back, run the exact same cryptsetup command that you used to create the device, and it's there ready to mount. If you don't run that exact same command, the system sees nothing but random data on the device - excellent question for the bad guys to ponder ;) Cryptsetup has methods for automounting static devices on boot, but I don't think anybody's published a method for hotplugging a harddrive yet.
So, back to the question: How do I run the script that runs cryptsetup on a hotplugged harddisk prior to automounting?
I'll need to remember that scsi USB drives take a little time to settle before being fully identified as such...

Goal: a laptop with 140 gig or thereabouts encrypted storage, 80 gig of which hotpluggable ;)

Coincidentally, the July issue of Linux-magazine www.linux-magazine.co.uk has an article on doing just this and describes the setup of hotplug to recognize a particular USB device and run an arbitrary user script.
This is now working very well for me.
In outline, you add a entries to a xxx.usermap in /etc/hotplug/usb which name a script (in the same directory) to be run when a USB device is inserted.
Hope this helps

In order to avoid opening the hotplug box, I just hacked up this autofs script. It meets my needs so someone else may find it of use too. It will automount an encrypted block device at /dev/sdb using whatever name you choose. The key files with a corresponding name in /etc is used to decrypt the device.
I have a set of removable hard drives that are used for backup (RDX QuikStor). With the following configuration I can insert a cartridge and the backup software (Bacula) can just mount it, making the encryption transparent to it.
The mapping for the 'cd' key also appears in this script. That's there because I'm mounting this at /media and hijacking the original, static /etc/auto.media. In /etc/auto.master:
/media /etc/auto.mediaIn /etc/auto.media:
#!/bin/bash # This is the path beneath this map's root that autofs is looking for key="$1" # A static mapping for the key 'cd' # This is what /etc/auto.media used to do statically if [ "$key" == "cd" ]; then echo -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev / :/dev/cdrom exit 0 fi # The cryptsetup tool from the package of the same name CRYPTSETUP=/sbin/cryptsetup # This is the raw device that we will mount mount_device=/dev/sdb # This is the encryption key file key_file=/etc/quikstor.key # Options to pass to the cryptsetup tool luks_opts="--key-file $key_file" # Mount options for the encrypted fileystem mount_opts="-fstype=xfs,defaults" # The mapped block device crypt_device=/dev/mapper/$key # Give up if there is no key or setup tool [ -r $key_file ] || exit 0 [ -x $CRYPTSETUP ] || exit 0 # If there is an encrypted device mapped in already, it must be from a # previous mount. It may be out-of-date so remove it now. [ -b $crypt_device ] && $CRYPTSETUP remove $key # Give up if the raw device doesn't have a LUKS header $CRYPTSETUP isLuks $mount_device || exit 0 # Open the encrypted block device $CRYPTSETUP luksOpen $mount_device $key $luks_opts >& /dev/null || exit 1 # If we ended up with a block device, echo a mount line for autofs to use if [ -b $crypt_device ]; then echo $mount_opts / $crypt_device fi

At least,for now,this isn't easier nor better.I had my system recogniseing and automounting my ipaq,ipod,camera,IrDA,media reader,usb ext. harddrives,and bluetooth.Now ipod works and my reader is recognised but nothing mounts except ipod.Hopefully someone will make a better usb-storage script to work with udev,autofs,and hal and what not.
What was the reason for the switch over to udev anyway?I miss /mnt/ already,I hate /media!!;)

I am having one little problem. Maybe I missed a configuration detail, or something else. But am finding this note in /var/log/daemon.log:
/var/log/daemon.log:Feb 9 21:20:01 localhost automount[9131]: lookup(yp): map
auto.removable: Local domain name not set
Where the heck would it like my local domain name set? I am not running yp, nor do I really want to, this is a desktop box...

I think I'll need to see the contents of /etc/auto.master and /etc/auto.removable files.
I found the following on a mailing list (in fact - the openldap list):
"By default, a map which doesn't have its type specified is treated as either a file-based map (if there's a file in /etc with the map's name) or as a NIS map, regardless of where the master map entry was stored."
which suggests that the master file isn't finding a file map and so thinks it may be a NIS map.

add one line to your great article after:
"Stick a card in one of the slots (say the sd card) - and try
ls /var/autofs/removable/sd/"
If you just type ls /var/autofs/removable/ and keep hitting TABulator (like me:), you don't get any device, you have to type that device to the end.
Quote from greenfly.org page "Notice that the cdrom directory didn't exist in /var/autofs/removable until I actually tried to access it. Then it only existed until it timed out, which, with my configuration, is 2 seconds, and then it umounted."
or maybe im just too slow :)

Restart autofs, and your directories will always be there, but not mounted until you access them.
[ Parent | Reply to this comment ]
After reading both this article and the "article on Card Readers and USB keys using udev" I got the device to automount. I have a question about the first part of this article. Toward the top it states "We want to replace the following /etc/fstab settings" and gives a grey box with a list of stuff from the fstab. These were carried over from the previous article about Card Readers. Am I supposed to remove the lines from the fstab or keep them in there? I put them in there from the previous article. The line I actually added says:
/dev/external_hd1 /media/dragon vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0
All of this is being learned to be able to automount a camera for reading the pictures in it on my daughter's Debian machine.

Great article but I cannot get it to work, which I don't understand.
The only line I have in auto.master is:
/var/autofs/removable /etc/auto.removable --timeout=2
And the only line I have in auto.removable is:
usbdrive -fstype=vfat,uid=1002,gid=1002,umask=002 :/dev/sda1
I put this in to use with a usb drive, based upon the greenfly article, and the settings I took from your page didn't work.
However, when I try:
ls /var/autofs/removable/usbdrive I don't get an error but nothing is returned!
Would you have any idea why this would occur? I should mention that I am doing this on a intelmac, but don't know if this should make a difference. autofs installed fine.
cheers, nathan
[ Parent | Reply to this comment ]
I thus change my ato.removable live to:
usbdrive -fstype=vfat,rw,gid=100,umask=002 :/dev/sdb1
and it worked.
This article obviously followed on from the previous one in which the devices (and their tags?) were identified, something that wasn't covered. I guess that's the danger of trying to copy commands without fully understanding them. I still don't understand how drives are given names by the system or whether they remain stable.
One observation I did make was that this system did work nicely when examining files on the usb disk, and opening files in openoffice. However, when I open a file from the usbdrive in openoffice it is read only and when I try to save a new file on the usbdrive I get an error saying the folder does not exist. I guess this has something to do with permissions to write to the disk, but haven't been able to work that one out yet.

I was able to get automounting working, sort of, so came here to research it. I've had my system setup to use the LABEL=.... feature in /etc/fstab, for the USB devices, but wanted to get away from having to run the mount command manually or through an icon, every time I wanted access.
The main difference between my setup and yours is that I figured I could use the same label based reference to make it work regardless of the actual /dev node.
So, I have lines like this:
xdcard -fstype=vfat,umask=002,gid=usb :/dev/disk/by-label/FUJIXDCARD
The last item is a symlink to whatever node is actually created.
But, there's a problem. The xdcard item worked only about 30% of the time, while the one for my Archos PMA400 worked 100%, and the others all failed, period. After much futzing around, I plugged in the current node for the xdcard (/dev/sdc1) and tried that. This worked, and continues to work, no problems of any sort.
This implies a problem in autofs with symlinks. I thought this should be a bug, but as my experience with this part of GNU/Linux is limited, I thought I'd pass it by you and others in this discussion, and see if there is agreement on that. And, to find out if there's a way to make the symlink stuff work.
I know I could go back to the udev setup and create my own names, but this seems like it should work, in any case.
[ Parent | Reply to this comment ]
It looks like the automount files in /etc are format sensitive. I believe I discovered this when I used cat on the content of one and realized it contained tabs. I have my editor set to replace tabs with white space, which is normally OK and very nice when writing programs.
When I replaced my 'space' field separators with tabs, everything worked, even using the symlinks created in /usr/disk/by-label..

Washington National Opera unveils 2009-10 season
Although dyed-in-the-Rhine types will still feel terribly disappointed that Washington National Opera had to shelve a complete production of Wagner's Ring next season due to fiscal constraints, there are considerable attractions on the company's 2009-2010 lineup. (That Ring has not been canceled outright, company officials hasten to reiterate, but merely postponed.)
The season, which WNO general director Placido Domingo describes as "a perfect balance" (some might call it a perfectly conservative balance), offers six staged productions, rather than the current seven, along with a Wagner opera in concert form and a concert of operatic excerpts.
First up in September is Rossini's evergreen, The Barber of Seville. Making his company debut as Almaviva in this production will be the brilliant-toned tenor Lawrence Brownlee. The title role will be shared by Simone Alberghini and Marco Caria. Verdi's sublime comedy Falstaff arrives in October. The title role has yet to be announced, but the cast includes Gordon Hawkins (Ford) and Nancy Maultsby (Dame Quickly).
Ariadne auf Naxos, the ingenious Richard Strauss opera, will be staged in late October/early November with a promising roster that includes Iréne Theorin (Ariadne), Kristine Jepson (Composer), Pär Lindskog and Ian Storey (alternating in the role of Bacchus).
Company music director Heinz Fricke, who will conduct Ariadne, will also be on the podium when WNO presents a concert version of Wagner's Gotterdammerung in place of the originally slated staged production that would have rounded off the company's ambitious Ring. Two performances in November will feature Theorin (Brünnhilde), Hawkins (Alberich), Storey (Siegfried) and Alan Held (Gunther).
WNO's spring season opens in March 2010 with Gershwin's iconic Porgy and Bess. Eric Owens and Lester Lynch will alternate as Porgy, Morenike Fadayomi (right) and Indira Mahajan as Bess. (Coincidentally, Porgy and Bess and The Barber of Seville are the two works that the Baltimore Opera won't be staging this spring, having filed for Chapter 11, so Baltimore opera lovers can catch both of them in DC next season.)
In April/May 2010, Mozart's enduring comedy, The Marriage of Figaro, will offer such singers as Ildar Abdrazakov (Figaro), Teddy Tahu Rhodes (Almaviva) and Krassimira Stoyanova (Countess).
The company will introduce Ambroise Thomas' Hamlet into its repertoire in May/June 2010, featuring Carlos Alvarez in the title role, Samuel Ramey as Claudius and Diana Damrau as Ophelia. Domingo will conduct this infrequently encountered opera. He'll also conduct a concert in October with Abdrazakov and celebrated mezzo Olga Borodina (the two singers are husband and wife).
All performances are at the Kennedy Center. Season subscriptions for '09-'10 are $300 to $2,100. Single tickets will go on sale this summer.
An addition to WNO's current season has also been announced: Domingo will sing a program called "From My Latin Soul," featuring tangos, excerpts from zarzuelas and more. This concert, with the WNO Orchestra, will be on May 1 (2009) at DAR Constitution Hall.

Lack of physical activity is associated with multiple health risks including obesity, heart disease, and premature death. Encouraging people to increase exercise has been difficult due to multiple barriers such as lack of energy, time, and competition with sedentary behaviors. Many researchers have tried to manipulate distraction from pain and internal cues while exercising as a way to increase the amount a person exercises. Music has been found to be an effective distractor for decreasing perceived level of exertion and increasing the amount exercised in runners (Brownley et al., 1995; Bourdeaudhuij et al., 2002). The purpose of the current experiment is to examine the effects of television on increasing exercise by distracting participants whom are running on a treadmill. Adults from a small fitness center participated in a between-subjects design in which half viewed a television while exercising while the other half did not view a television while exercising. Distance walked/ran and focus of attention were compared to determine if watching a television while exercising distracted attention and increased distance walked/ran. Preliminary results will be discussed.

Mickelson finishes just one stroke shy of becoming 6th PGA Tour player to break 60
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Phil Mickelson pointed his putter at the cup and started to walk toward the hole, ready to celebrate golf's magic number.
Right at the end, though, the ball caught the right edge of the cup, curled 180 degrees to the other side of the hole and stayed out. A fraction of an inch turned cheers to gasps and cost him a 59 on Thursday in the first round of the Phoenix Open.
"Six feet to go, it was in the center," Mickelson said. "Three feet to go, it was in the center. A foot to go, it was in the center, and even as it's approaching the hole, I couldn't envision which side of the hole it could possibly miss on, and it ended up somehow just dying off at the end, catching the lip."
His caddie, Jim Mackay, fell to his knees and stayed there several seconds.
"He could not have hit a better putt," Mackay said.
Playing partners Jason Dufner and Rickie Fowler also watched in disbelief when the 25-foot birdie putt lipped out.
"Unlucky," Dufner said. "He was walking it in."
"I thought it was in," Fowler said. "I was pulling for him, trying to stay out of his way."
Mickelson settled for an 11-under 60 at TPC Scottsdale, matching the tournament record he already shared with Grant Waite and Mark Calcavecchia.
"Well, 60 is awesome," Mickelson said. "Last time I shot 60 here in '05, I birdied like the last three or four holes just to do that, and I was ecstatic, and I'm ecstatic to shoot 60. But there's a big difference between 60 and 59. Not that big between 60 and 61, there really isn't. But there's a big barrier, a Berlin Wall barrier, between 59 and 60.
"I shot it in the PGA Grand Slam of Golf. I shot 58 in a practice round. But to do it in a tournament would have been historic for me, something I'd always remember, and I'll always remember that putt on the last hole probably, too."
Finishing his round on the front nine, the 42-year-old former Arizona State star birdied the par-3 seventh to reach 11 under.
"Probably the best shot of the day because it's a tucked little pin over that bunker and I hit a 6-iron to 4 or 5 feet," Mickelson said. "It was really a good shot from 196 yards."
He parred the par-4 eighth, leaving an 18-footer a rotation short.
"That putt is so fast down to that right pin because it's going toward the valley, it's downhill and down grain," Mickelson said. "I thought, 'I can't leave it short.' So, I just got it right on line and it was tracking and it pulled up short."
On the par-4 ninth, he split the fairway with a 325-yard drive and hit a gap wedge left of the pin, with the ball spinning to an immediate stop.
"Hit two great drives on eight and nine and ended up with a pitching wedge and a gap wedge and didn't hit the best shots, but gave myself great putts at it," Mickelson said.
He was thinking about breaking 60 after making the turn in 7-under 29, a mark that tied the tournament record for the back nine.
"(When) I birdied three and four, 'Done deal. I'm going to get this done,' " Mickelson said. "Very disappointed that I wasn't able to birdie the last couple. ... I just knew I could do it, and darn it, it just lipped out."
Mackay didn't say a word about a 59, treating it like a baseball pitcher with a no-hitter.

Lawmakers hear plans to end Kansas tax break war
Thursday, February 6, 2014
Missouri lawmakers appear ready to embrace a proposed truce with Kansas in a long-running business battle that has waived hundreds of millions of dollars of tax revenues in order to shuffle jobs around the Kansas City region.
No one spoke in opposition Wednesday as Missouri House and Senate committees each heard testimony on legislation that would impose a moratorium on tax incentives for businesses in the Kansas City region relocating from one side of the state line to another.
The proposal appeared so popular that some Missouri lawmakers suggested it could be labeled a "consent bill," placing it on a fast-track for approval that precludes any amendments during House and Senate debate.
The leading witness at the Missouri hearings was Bill Hall, assistant to the chairman of Kansas City-based Hallmark Cards Inc. and president of the Hall Family Foundation. His key evidence was a recent foundation report examining the money spent through two of the states' primary incentive programs.
Since 2009, one Kansas program has waived $141 million of tax revenues to relocate 3,343 jobs from Jackson County, Mo., to Johnson or Wyandotte counties in Kansas, Hall said. Meanwhile, one Missouri program has waived $76 million in tax revenues to move 2,929 jobs from those two Kansas counties to Jackson County, he said.
The net result: a collective tax waiver of $217 million that produced a net gain of 414 jobs in Kansas.
It's "a wasteful economic border war," Hall said. "Neither state benefits. In fact, both are losing."
But there is a perception among some Kansas and Missouri officials that Missouri is losing more often. That could help explain the eagerness to advance the moratorium legislation in Missouri.
Sen. Ryan Silvey, who is sponsoring the measure, said the proposed truce should make financial sense for both states.
The tax incentive battle has taken "millions of dollars out of the states' economic development ability and trapped it in what's basically a washing machine, just churning the same jobs back and forth across the state line," said Silvey, R-Kansas City.
The moratorium legislation would apply to businesses moving between the Missouri counties of Jackson, Clay, Platte and Cass and the Kansas counties of Wyandotte, Johnson, Douglas and Miami. It would bar Missouri from offering tax incentives for businesses to move from those Kansas counties to those Missouri counties, but only if Kansas adopts a similar prohibition through legislation or a gubernatorial order.
The pact has the support of many Kansas City-area leaders. Among those testifying for it Wednesday were lobbyists for Kansas City, the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce and the Civic Council of Greater Kansas City.
There's "great frustration" among Kansas City-area business leaders when "we see people doing the border hop at the disadvantage of those of us who stay put," said Shannon Cooper, a lobbyist for the regional chamber.
The Missouri legislation would not prohibit individual cities and counties from continuing to offer tax incentives for businesses to move across the state line.
That omission was cited by an aide to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon as one of several thorny issues that could still create problems for the proposed truce.
Chris Pieper, a senior legal and policy adviser for Nixon, said another challenge is how the legislation affects a business with locations in both states that wants to consolidate. If the legislation won't allow incentives in that situation, it could be harder for the Kansas City region to compete against other cities to retain that business, he said.
"This legislation has a very laudable goal, and it's one that we all agree that we need to get to," Pieper said. "I think there's some differences, some nuances in how you get there strategically."
Nixon held a news conference in Kansas City in November to call for a moratorium in the tax-break battle. Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has suggested a similar pact. One of the sponsors of the Missouri measure is House Speaker Tim Jones, a Republican from the eastern Missouri city of Eureka.

I have said before the Ducati/Stoner pairing is a marriage made in heaven. I believe they both need each other equaly, to dominate. Oh, and he is "one of the good guys" eh damo? 4 agree 2 disagree

I would now like to turn the presentation over to your host for today's call Ms. Pam Huggins, Vice President and Treasurer. Please proceed.
Pam Huggins
Thank you, Lacy. Good morning, everyone. This is Pam Huggins speaking. I'd like to welcome you to Parker Hannifin third quarter fiscal year 2010 earnings release teleconference. Joining me today is Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Don Washkewicz and Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Tim Pistell.
Please allow me as usual to address a couple of administrative matters prior to beginning with the actual earnings release. First for those of you online, you can follow today's presentation with a PowerPoint slides that have been presented and for those of you not online the slides will be posted on the Investor Relations portion of Parker's website at phstock.com.
Second, as is customary, I would call your attention to slide number two which is the Safe Harbor disclosure and forward-looking statement and that if you haven't also done so, please take note of this statement. Third moving to slide number three, this slide is required indicates that in cases where non-GAAP numbers have been used, they have been reconciled to their appropriate GAAP numbers.
Moving to the agenda on slide number four, the call will be in four parts today. First Don, Chairman President and Chief Executive Officer will provide highlights for the quarter. Second, I'll provide a review including key performance measures of the third quarter concluding with a revised outlook for fiscal year 2010.
The third part of the call will consist of the standard Q&A session and the fourth part of the call today, Don will close with final comments. At this time, I'll turn it over to Don and ask that you refer to slide number five titled third quarter fiscal year 10 highlights.
Don Washkewicz
Thanks, Pam and welcome to everyone on the call. I want to start with a few highlights to the quarter. First, our results in the third quarter demonstrate that the actions taken over the past year to restructure operations are paying off and more importantly give us greater confidence that a global economic recovery is in fact underway.
We have now been able to demonstrate sequential improvement in revenues and earnings for three consecutive quarters and although the comparisons are against our performance on a weak economy a year ago, this quarter we generated positive year-over-year comparisons in revenues and earnings.
On the demand side, our total order rate show increases both sequentially and on a year-over-year basis which is again an indication that the recovery cycle is underway. Importantly, we are seeing positive trends across a broad range of markets and geographies and I'll touch on those a little bit later in this broadcast.
These are certainly indications of growth for the immediate term. Our plan is to continue to drive strong margin performance targeting at 30% MROS, generate positive cash flow as we prepare for growth and they continuing serving certainly our customers globally.
I am pleased to report that our results indicate that we are well on our way to exceeding many of our objectives, just a few of those are as follows. We generated $841 million in operating cash flow year-to-date or 11.7% of sales which is well above our 10% target.
We achieved this rate despite voluntarily contributing $100 million to the company's pension fund. Our strong cash position afforded the board the flexibility to approve a dividend increase for the 54th consecutive fiscal year, that is of course this year in a difficult environment and there's only a handful of companies that can match this record of increasing dividend for that length of time.
Our balance sheet is strong. Our debt-to-debt equity ratio is now at 29% and on a net basis is 25% and this provides us the capacity to grow the business going forward. I'm also very pleased that we're able to generate total segment operating margins at 11.8% in a very difficult period in the third quarter and reached total segment operating margins of 10.5% year-to-date.
This exceeds our full year goal of 10% and far exceeds our margin performance in the same quarter a year ago. Importantly, our marginal return on sales, MROS and again our target for that has been 30% and the quarter wasn't impressive 51.6% reflecting the results of all the restructuring that we've been doing over the past year.
Parker employees throughout the world have responded remarkably to this downturn and have positioned us very well to benefit from the recovery. Of note, we have now increased our margin performance at the bottom and I just want everyone to pay attention to this.
At the bottom of each of the last three manufacturing cycles so we've increased the bottom in each one of those cycles and also we've raised peak margins at the height of each of the last two expansions and of course, we are on track to do that again when this expansion is fully in place. So, of course, this bodes very well for our outlook in the years ahead.

News12 / Sunday Feb. 16, 2014
NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. (WRDW) -- As soon as we hear bad winter weather is on the way-- people hit the grocery store.
"We stocked up. Yea, we got a lot of food. Chicken, rice, I mean everything," said Aaron Burke.
If you're like Burke you probably did the same thing, but when the ice comes--the power lines come down.
"The lights been out for two or three days now," Burke told News12.
"The best idea is to not open the refrigerator very often," said Kim Beavers.
Beavers knows a lot about the kitchen. The host of Eating Well with Kim says fridge thermometers help you see if you're at the perfect temp of 40 degrees, but if you don't have one the outside fridge can help.
"It's going to be freezing or below 40 outside get a cooler put some ice in it and put it outside. That's what we did to salvage some of our milk for this morning," said Beavers.
And when you have small kids at home like Burke does milk is important.
"We got the liquid milk, but that spoiled too. Now we have to get the powder milk," said Burke.
There are a couple of ways to tell what's okay to eat.
"How I found out that it spoiled-- it had an odor. A real bad odor in my house," Burke told News12.
And while using your nose is one sign--Beavers says don't just go by that.
"For milk certainly that's the case, but not always are you going to be able to tell just by looking at something or smelling it. So, it's a good idea to not throw caution to the wind here," she told News12.
So, while Burke now has some food to keep his family full-- he only has one more prayer --and that's for power and hot water.
"I don't want to go to work smelling like the food that's spoiled in the refrigerator,"

BLUEFIELD, W.Va. -- A Mercer County man accused of sexually abusing two minors and possessing child pornography is facing trial in December.
A grand jury indictment charged 40-year-old John Spaulding with sexual assault and abuse and 50 counts of possession of material depicting minors in sexually explicit conduct.
The indictment accuses Spaulding of committing the offenses over a six-month period last year.
Prosecutor Scott Ash says the victims were 3 and 14.
The Bluefield Daily Telegraph reports Circuit Judge William Sadler set Spaulding's trial date for Dec. 10.

I only compete RAW and my bench is super-lacking, but it's coming up slowly.
Anyways, after my DE bench last night I decided to give some decline BB a shot since it's been about 5-6 years sicne I did it. Man, I forgot how much it takes out of you. Unable to use my lats or legs, it was pretty much strictly a pec/tricep exercise. Hell, I couldn't even throw any delts into it to get the bar going.
I'm wondering if supplementing with this every/every other week would help with RAW bench strength?

Am I pregnant or just extremely bloated??
I have put on loads of weight in the past 2-3 months,I used to bi size 6 now I ave problems fitting to size 10. Thought it was due to my new job, as I wouldn't move as much but I have been eating more healthy than before and I don't think I would gain that much weight. I have noticed more visible bloating the lat 1-2 weeks and I am not sure whether I am pregnant or just extremely bloated. Me and my bf are long distance, so if I am pregnant I would be around 12 weeks.I had 2 periods the last 3 months, though they were light and with no pain which is unusual for me.I frequently need to go toilet and would wake up during the night. My breasts and nipples are larger but not tender or sore. I have experienced some nausea sometimes but only recently, mostly when I travel. Please could you tell from the pic if I look pregnant? thanks <
