Business management Whitepapers
Forrester Wave Report for Privileged Identity Management provides a thorough evaluation of all the vendors offering Privileged Management solutions. Today's economic environment is forcing S&R professionals to consider alternatives to on-premises solutions and use cloud services. Leaders in the PIM space now offer cloud support, threat mitigation to prevent data breaches, and privileged identity intelligence.
This guide provides 22 specific actions that you can take to more effectively control privileged user accounts and access across your organisation in the context of a maturity model.
The role of a business manager or team leader is often dynamic and complex. Find out the different roles and responsibilities a leader has to play. From a performance manager who keeps staff focused to a communication manager that is respectful and asks the right questions. Included are also tools you will need to increase your team's productivity.
More than one-third of all cyber crime incidents and security breaches are caused by insiders. This whitepaper looks at how to develop a proactive insider threat mitigation program that combines three key elements: executive leadership and advocacy, clear policy and guidance, and workforce education and training. With these elements in place, your organisation can address insider threats before they become messy and costly public problems.
This whitepaper will focus on how and why Australian public service must adopt the information security disciplines to locate important data, understand what it's worth and make sure it's protected. The paper will examine how government agencies can reduce the extent and damage of cyber security breaches by becoming 'good shepherds' of their data.
Data has been growing faster than the ability to manage it. As a result, organisations cannot say for sure how much information they have, where it is or what secrets and risks it contains – it is effectively 'dark data'. This whitepaper looks at how to address the situation with a new 4-stage approach by using technology tools and processes to enable information managers to search and govern all their unstructured data consistently and repeatedly.
The faster cyber security investigators can identify and contain data breaches, the less cost and damage their organisation will suffer. But hiring or contracting expert investigators can be expensive. This whitepaper looks at how technology can encapsulate this expert knowledge into a framework for investigating insider data breaches and external web server attacks.
Unstructured data formats are much harder to search and analyse than databases or simple text. In this context, 'big data' is a challenge, not an advantage. This whitepaper looks at how you can apply a data-centric approach across diverse business areas and shows how, having cracked open the content of unstructured data, your organisation can develop processes and competencies that will reduce costs, improve efficiency and deliver new sources of business value.
This case study looks at how a large financial institution used a sensitive data finder to locate vendor contracts that employees had stored in difficult-to-search locations such as email and file shares. Read how they were able to efficiently search very rapidly across massive volumes of data, conduct complex searches without creating a permanent index to help the firm fine-tune its searches and improve detection accuracy for each system.
In most discussions today with SAP representatives, it's very likely that the answer to almost any question that AD&D professionals ask is "SAP Hana." Over time, this can build to a level of frustration, or even annoyance, for interested clients. However, there's a good reason behind this. This whitepaper looks at the different use cases for SAP Hana, separates the hype from reality about the product and delves into how you build your SAP Hana road map to fully leverage your investment.

A four-vehicle Monday afternoon wreck sent three people, including an Amarillo City Transit bus passenger, to get medical assistance.
Amarillo police Sgt. John Krizan said everyone transported had nonlife-threatening injuries.
The wreck happened at 4 p.m. at the Western Street and Paramount Boulevard intersection.
APD officer Angela Perkins said the bus traveled westbound on Paramount Boulevard before the collision.
A Chevrolet Corsica and a Pontiac Sunfire were eastbound on Paramount and trying to turn north onto Western Street, Perkins said.
She said a GMC pickup headed southbound on Western Street attempted to turn west onto Paramount Boulevard. Perkins said the pickup collided with the bus, and then the bus collided with the Corsica.
The Corsica spun around and collided with the Pontiac Sunfire, Perkins said.
Krizan said the drivers of the Corsica and GMC pickup were also taken to the hospital.
Police officers released no names at the scene.

It was either that or a couple big spoons of brown sugar
I don't eat a lot of processed foods high in sugar...or a lot of processed foods at all for that matter. A teaspoon or so of honey in oatmeal isn't horrible IMO.

Like all studies I think it's necessary to evaluate individual response; there is no "one size fits all" strategy.
From a personal standpoint, one of the indicators regarding my fitness is the duration I can ride at tempo without feeding before I get bonky. Coming off an extended layoff I'll make 35-45 minutes. In race form I can go nearly two hours.
Prefueling: For longer races I'll fuel 3 hours prior with real food, then supplement during the race. For shorter races I'll top up the glycogen during warmup with 150 or so liquid calories. Training rides (again) will vary according to my scheduled activity and also time of day and prior food.
You are correct that many of the researches use exercise intensities right around fatmax, which is ~ SST. However, several others use sprints or 30s intervals because they really increase AMPk activation which causes a bunch of beneficial adaptations. AMPk is a cellular energy sensor and when it detects low energy stores it really upregulates genes involved in energy production. I cant find the reference now but one group used 7 x 30s all out in a fasted state and compared it to 3 x20min zone 4 and there was no difference between groups despite the huge difference in training volume.

I just commented on the fish taco and tilapia to bring up the point about knowing where your fish comes from, and that while tilapia is technically a fish, it does not all have the same nutritional value of other fish like salmon, cod, pollack or catfish due to the methods used in farm-raising them in the different countries.
Think factory farm-raised or "industrial" vs free-range organic chicken.....
Ride Safe! ... .....and eat healthy!

Oh, and some of the honey's fake, too: http://grist.org/food-safety/2011-08...m-china-in-us/
And olive oil for that matter.
I try to get wild Alaskan salmon. Atlantic farmed stuff is a hell of a lot cheaper...almost 1/2 the price. I wonder what the real nutritional difference is. It's really hard to know.
I had Sablefish (Black Cod) last night. Pretty damned good stuff. It's a fatty fish, like salmon, that's loaded with Omega-3's.
I'm not a big fan of tilapia, but I end up buying it. I make all of the meals for our family, and if I make fish for the kids, it has to be pretty mild stuff. They just won't eat the good stuff. If I'm doing fish, I'll make tilapia for them and salmon for my wife and me. It's still a hell of a lot better food than McDonalds or whatever else a lot of kids get fed. Last night was salmon patties for the kids, which they do eat (and like). They won't do fillets, though, and it kills me to throw out a bunch of expensive fish.
Wild Alaskan salmon fillets rubbed with some black pepper, lemon and dill cooked on the grill on a cedar plank that was soaked in white wine =

Easy, Enthalpic...I just want 'the answer'!
In all honesty, though, it's pretty apparent that there are plenty of spices in this particular soup and, as always, we're dealing with a series of compromises. What's the possibility of getting an overview of all of those. Maybe 2-3 papers on each. That should keep me busy for at least a week. There's a lot to digest there (pun completely intended).

Ok so I just tried water+protein powder instead of milk+protein powder...ugh. The test changes a little bit, but I can tolerate that, it's just that the milk makes it thicker and it tastes/feels soo much better! Water seems to 'thin' if you will.
I think one thing we can all agree on was my dinner tonight.. a big bowl of CHILI! mmm, be jealous
Ps. Does anyone ever not eat anything after a ride? I had a bowl of yogurt + granola stuff and was full. Maybe it's because I did ride as hard as I should have?

Some protein powders mix better than others, fwiw.
Also I find that two scoops works better than one (roughly 8 oz of water) as far as thickness goes.
You also have to watch the ingredients list on some. I was using one that tasted pretty good, but it was laced with sweeteners. The one I'm on now doesn't and didn't taste the best the first couple times I used it, but now it's fine. Coincidentally this one also causes me less gastro issues which is of benefit to those around me at the office

Bah...Now you guys got me thinking about dumping my breakfast staple of a whole wheat bagel with PB&J....
I do add in some Nature's Path oatmeal with flaxseed, then toss in some bran buds (notice a trend here) and dried cranberries...
I can't see myself making eggs or anything like that during the week, but I could see myself doing the oatmeal for sure. I take in a protein drink at work so that would have my protein needs covered. I personally DO NOT have a lot of weight to lose, maybe 5lbs tops anything more then that and I'm sure I will a diminishing return. One of my biggest issues right now is fitting in a healthy snack in the afternoon when I'm at the office. I find that when 3pm rolls around I'm really starting to feel the hunger pangs. I usually snack on a Cliff bar when driving home in prep for the evenings workout.
I think I mentioned earlier in this thread that I've recently cut back on the sugary drinks and I'm noticing a difference in the mid-section...That really surprised me. At home and work it's water only and with dinner I add a splash of cranberry juice to add a bit of flavour...

Speaking of protein and snack, it is hard to beat greek yogurt. You can also add granola to greek yogurt if you are not to keen on the taste.
edit: It would be interesting if anyone has juiced heavily with beet juice prior to racing or similar. Beets are supposed to be extremely high nitrate concentrations and can have positive effects. Andrew Joness group at the University of Exeter has studies on the endurance-boosting effects of beet juice, which they previously reported can extend time-to-exhaustion by about 15%.
here is an abstract, I can dig up the whole journal later.

I am on the side of eating less or nothing before a training session that assumes the session starts early in the morning. If it is later in the day, I eat breakfast. I seem to perform better with less food in my stomach. Notwithstanding that, sessions longer than 2 hours requires food. I like flat bread and I really like the Cliff Shot Bloks.

Ive always had a hard time eating early in the morning...Im just not hungry right when I get up, and would try to force the issue. (conversely, I usually dont get home until after 9pm so thats when I have a late dinner). But don't want to ride on an empty stomach. I eventually found that eating a bowl of cereal worked well for me, I think because its somewhat sweet. One bowl lasts me 2 hours, maybe a little more. If my ride is over 2 hrs I'll add a banana and take a few gels with me.
as an example- last weekend I had cereal and a banana and did 3 hrs/3800 ft, and was fine.
post-ride is normally yogurt, 2 hb eggs, and a bagel.
I've tried the beet juice and did feel like it gave me a performance boost, but at a price. It started causing a bit of constipation so I stopped. Riding faster is nice, but no poopie is not! Cripes, I seem to talk crap a lot...Don't I

Fried egg and cheese on an everything bagel as a lot of protein, at least for anything I can find around my house.. and it taste amazing!
I always have to eat before any ride I do. I tried a 16 km TT one day, and decided to do it when I woke up. Bonked 10 minutes into the TT.. I couldn't even move the pedals.

i don't "need" to eat for long easy endurance (i.e .6-.66 IF for a 2-3 hours), but i like the feeling of energy i have even if i just nom on a little bit of oatmeal. For hard rides, i need something in my system. THere's no way i can go and do 3 hours with intervals at the end without some oatmeal pre-ride then hammer bars and gu's during the ride. When you burn 3000 calories on a ride eating 500 before/during the ride seems like nothing.
Oatmeal as soon as I can and 1-2 hrs before a ride. Two bottles with Skratch Exercise Hydration at the suggestion of my coach because of the Sodium Citrate to help avoid leg cramping. If it's a 3+ hr ride I'll bring 1 more Skratch packet for each additional hour and will need a water stop. 1 GU Strawberry/Banana gel per hour.
So obviously I don't eat enough calories so I end up gorging the following meal which will usually consist of brown rice, chicken, veggies. Regular meals are veggies/meat (the fewer legs the better) and 1/2 the time I'll add 1/2 cup of brown rice. That basically sums it up. Have a great season.

The question you post
I rather choose 3D platformed mario games,it's more fun other than the classic mario games.The classic mario games always the same story thats why I don't really like them.

May proved to be a significant month for the Johnson County Animal Shelter. For the first time in a decade, the shelter euthanized no cats.
Animal control director Michael Delp attributes that first kill-free month for cats to the Johnson County Humane Society's new spay and neuter program for roaming cats. The humane society started recruiting cat caretakers in August. Volunteers catch cats to get them spayed or neutered and then release them back into the areas where they were caught.
The shelter works to find tame cats homes, and the humane society returns the others into feral cat colonies or releases them in barns, human society board president Janet Gorrell said.
She said having the cats spayed or neutered reduces behavioral problems, such as fighting, cuts back on new litters of kittens and allows the wild cat population to die naturally.
About 60 residents currently volunteer to feed the free roaming cats in their neighborhoods and help the humane society catch the animals so they can be spayed or neutered, Gorrell said.
Volunteer cat caretakers feed the colonies, which range in size from one to 20 cats, she said. The larger colonies are in rural areas.
Delp said euthanizing one cat costs about $60. Not having to euthanize any cats frees up money for vaccinations and medical treatment for other animals, he said. In May 2006, the county spent about $8,000 to euthanize 141 cats, he said.
"It's saving the taxpayers money. Secondly, it's the right thing to do," he said.
The county has about 20,000 free-roaming cats, and the humane society's goal is to get them all spayed and neutered and taken care of by a volunteer, Gorell said.
Residents interested in volunteering as a cat caretaker can contact the humane society at 535-6626.
Many feral cats are the result of thoughtless people who grow tired of a pet and release it on a rural road, thinking the animal is equipped to fend for itself in the wild. Similarly, pregnant females are abandoned by people who don't want to deal with a litter of kittens.
The solution to the feral cat population lies in a multipronged approach.
First, cat owners need to have their pets spayed or neutered to eliminate the chance of unwanted kittens.
Second, those who no longer want or can have a cat should take it to the animal shelter or humane society rather than simply abandoning it.
Finally, by sterilizing feral cats, the wild population will be reduced by natural attrition.
The effort will require the cooperation of government, nonprofit organizations and the public. But the result will be fewer nuisance animals, fewer euthanizations and saving of taxpayer dollars.

I have a database of information that is tagged using XML. The XML represents a hierarchy that I would like to account for in search and query. For example, if the data is book metadata:
<author id="jd112">John Doe</author>
<title>John's First Publication</title>
<summary>This is a mundane memoir of John's life that no one else would care to read </summary>
I'll have tons of such XML documents. I would like searchers to restrict queries to specific fields. I would like to also allow searchers to do logical combinations of those.
Does Lucene/Solr provide such an ability, or should I be looking at some other technology? If Lucene it is, a pointer to how I might go about this would be helpful.
Thanks for your insights.

Last week the President of Mexico set off on a human rights lecture tour of Washington, D.C. and chief among his claque of foot tappers was the President of the United States.
Florida this year sent to the Congress of the United States its application for a convention for the purpose of proposing a balanced-budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Florida is, by some counts at least, the 33rd state to apply. But the legislatures of New Hampshire and South Dakota have recently voted to rescind their applications. So are we now three states away from the 34 needed to require Congress to call a convention? Or one? Or 15 or so (arrived at by subtracting all the states that have rescinded their calls over the past 22 years)?
Linda McMahon, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Connecticut, said Wednesday night that she did some of the research for what became a front-page story in the New York Times about how Democratic candidate Richard Blumenthal falsely claimed to have served in Vietnam.
Can't Keep Ignoring the SignsWritten by Raven Clabough
Most Americans recognize that the United States is currently facing major struggles, and that America is undergoing a fundamental transformation, but of those Americans, many still do not subscribe to the theory that there is an underground movement toward global government. The problem with that denial is the movement has come out from underground and has become so blatant that it can no longer be ignored or refuted.

A Japanese government advisory panel on Thursday adopted an interim report recommending creation of electronic publication copyrights for publishers to help deter pirated electronic books, government officials said.
After the report is finalized within this year, the Agency for Cultural Affairs will submit legislation next year to create the new copyright by revising the copyright law, they said.
The current law gives publishers copyright for printed books under contracts with their authors, allowing them to file for injunctions against pirated print copies.
But the law covers only printed matter and does not allow publishers to file for injunctions against pirated e-books. It allows only individual authors to file such injunctions through troublesome procedures, failing to effectively deter electronic piracy.
The interim report also proposes establishing copyrights for e-book publishers and for publishers of printed and electronic magazines carrying works by multiple authors.

Dizzy Poached Eggs
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 5 mins
I've tried so many different methods of poaching eggs and failed every time, until now. These turned out perfectly!!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 6 eggs
- 2 quarts water
- 1⁄4 cup white vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Crack 6 eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
- Put 2 quarts water in a 3 quart saucepan and bring to a medium boil.
- Add 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1 teaspoon salt.
- With a slotted spoon, while the water is boiling, start the water swirling around in a clockwise direction as fast as it will go without slopping out of the pan.
- While the water is spinning let it coast while pouring the eggs into the center of the spin.
- After 3 minutes, bring the eggs out of the water with the slotted spoon and place on plate with paper towel.
- Salt and pepper, to taste.

Worked like a charm! I only did one egg so scaled the water, vinegar and salt way back. Thanks! Made for My 3 Chefs event.
This is the way to make a perfect poached egg! I scaled this back for 1 egg; I don't like the white to be runny so cooked about 3 1/2 minutes. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for the Best of 2013 event, recommended by I'mPat
Have been using vinegar for years but this is the first time I recall spinning the water before adding the egg and it worked out perfectly. The yoke was nice and run, just the way we like it. Thanks for the post.

Going back to school got you feeling some major blues? We don't blame you. It's tough to trade in your warm and cozy bed for that cold hard desk. (Not to mention the textbooks, the homework, and the exams… Blegh.) So if you plan on literally rolling out of bed that dreaded morning to, ya know, stick it to the man, allow us to stop you right there. We are not about to let our precious Janes make the worst first impression this semester! Okay, okay, we know how tough getting up for that 8:00 AM SOC class is going to be, but the least you could do (for now) is ditch that ratty old backpack for something refreshing and new to carry all of your essentials in. So, whaddya say…? We had a feeling you'd agree with us.
Ahead, we've chosen eight unconventional carryalls for the
school cool girl (YOU, duh).
1. Ur Mom Goes 2 College Denim Clutch: If your style screams vintage-meets-modern, you're going to want to get your paws on this denim clutch. Not only is it large enough to fit your tablet (AKA your life), but the patchwork detailing totally pays homage to your high school days as MVP.
2. Faux Leather 'N Chains Oversized Handbag: Ditch the oversized canvas tote you've been lugging around, and say hello to this rad faux leather and chains handbag. We think it's totally Olsen-twins-approved, and it'll flawlessly take your #OOTD from day to night. Hell yeah.
3. Parfum Paris Perfume Bottle Box Clutch: Never forget that perfect Paris vacation you took over the summer with this perfume bottle inspired clutch. The best part? They'll never know that you really stayed poolside in your parents' backyard all season. Hehe, #sorrynotsorry.
4. Tribal Tapestry Fringed Bucket Bag: If you took a tip from all of the Coachella heads this year, then you're fully aware that tribal is totally in. Don't let the print on this bag fool you though. It's loud enough to make a statement and also subtle enough to go with just about every outfit.
5. Rocker Studded Cross-Body Bag: Going for classic-yet-modern and compact-yet-practical this semester? Say hello to this rocker-chic bag. The studded detailing, the sleek pebbled faux leather, and the adjustable cross-body strap make for a perfect go-to for any girl.
6. 2-In-1 PVC Studded Bucket Bag: Clear PVC bags can get a little cheesy, we get that. But this see-thru baby is anything but. And not to worry, ladies, we put an extra removable compartment so that you can conceal at least some of your goods. (You know, like tampons and those snacks you're not looking to share.)
7. Pyramid Studded Mini Backpack: If you absolutely have to sport a backpack this semester, do us a solid and make sure it's this one, alright? The studded, mixed metallic detailing is just too badass to pass up. Plus, you can totally wear it on the weekends, too.
8. You're A Hoot Owl Faux Leather Handbag: They say that the early bird gets the worm, but we think whoever is ballsy enough to rock this bag will. The owl-inspired metallic detailing will not only get you noticed, but it's also the perfect conversation starter. Hey, you never know who you're going to meet on that first day.😉

text: please help, with explanations on how to solve the problem and the correct answer. ive worked through them but it would be nice to know if im going about them correctly and getting the right answer! thank you! I throw a 0.25kg ball off a cliff 20m high. It strikes the ground 4s later. What was the initial y (i.e. vertical) velocity? ( Indicate the direction as well as magnitude!) It takes a horizontal force of |F1| = 32N pushing a box along a level floor to produce an acceleration of 1m/s^2 in the same direction as F1. The box weighs 80N and there is friction between the box and the floor. and the box is moving in the same direction as the acceleration. a) Draw a force or free body diagram showing your coordinate system and showing all the forces acting on the box. b) Write down Newton�s Laws for the box and find the coefficient of friction.

I tried this on the Equipment Forum without any luck. Thought I'd try it here.
Several years ago I purchased an Orion StarShoot Deep Space Color Imager II (Orion Product # 52080). I've been running it with the MaxDL software that came with it on an old laptop using Windows XP. Due to issues with that computer I replace it with a new laptop which runs Windows 7.
Problem...the old software and drives for the Imager II do not seem to be compatable with Windows 7.
Does anyone know if there is anything out there that will manage this equipment under Windows 7? I would think that I'm not the only one that has encountered this dilemma.
I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

I don't think they had drivers for 64bit on the Imager II. I believe that Win7 is 64bit. It will have to be run by 32bit software and drivers.

you can try nebulosity, I had someone gift me two DSI cameras and had a lot of problems getting them to work with Vista, upgraded to windows 7 and installed nebulosity and it seems to work, have not had it outside tested yet but inside testing seems to work great, also am told is a really good finishing program as well

I have a 3spd sealed hub SA with coaster brake that ticks in all gears. I have a Sturmey Archer 3spd on another bike-the older regular hub (AW) with the oil filler & cap, no coaster brake, from the '70s that does not tick at all in any of the gears, shifts well.
Is the ticking in all gears normal for the sealed coaster brake version -AWC-? It does shift well in all three gears. I'm going to re-check my indicator spindle. I've read at Sheldon Brown's site about screwing it in finger tight then backing off 1/2 a turn. It would seem the cable tension is fine since the shifting is okay.
Any tips or feedback from other owners of the AWC sealed 3spd would be appreciated, thanks!

Miguel Antonio
He currently needs to make improvements to his home. In January 2011, earthquake tremors damaged the walls of his house. For this reason, he visited the offices of CEPRODEL so that he could make repairs. This will enable him to have a decent home where his family can grow in a healthy environment.
Actualmente tiene la necesidad de realizar mejoramiento de vivienda en su casa de habitación ya que en enero del 2011 hubieron unos temblores y de dañaron las paredes de su casa y por tal razón visita las oficinas de CEPRODEL para realizar dicho mejoramiento, considera que de esta forma estará dándole un hogar digno a su familia ya que quiere que ellos crezcan saludablemente.
Additional Information
About CEPRODELThis loan is administered by Centro de Promocion del Desarrollo Local (CEPRODEL), one of Kiva's larger partners in Central America. Founded in 1991 and based in Managua, Nicaragua, CEPRODEL specializes in the development and funding of housing cooperatives for traditionally marginalized communities, the provision of microfinance services to small businesses, and the promotion of innovative renewable energy projects. In addition, unlike many microfinance institutions in the area that have chosen to avoid the rural areas of the country due to the increased financial risk, CEPRODEL provides financial services to numerous clients in the agriculture and livestock industry. Supporting a borrower through CEPRODEL means contributing to the promotion and sustainability of this important work in Nicaragua.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

I would post this in the winter cycling forum, but I figure most of you aren't hanging out there yet and by the time you check it out, it may be too late. Plus you're also down with the saving a buck by not going with the cycling specific duds.
Anyhoooo... My grody OD's are shelled out and the crotch cavity gets larger with each passing day, so I needed some shorts, stat! After coming up empty at the Garment District, I headed over to the Army Barracks on Newbury to pick up a pair of overpriced BDUs just so I could hack them off. It's probably more expensive than just buying some civvy shorts, but everyone seems to have put them away for the year. While there, I also found some awesome arctic trouser shells.
You can get this bad boy http://www.armysurpluswarehouse.com/...duct=&item=669 (sans liner, just wear them over your regular pants) for $20. It's about the price of a decent set of windstopping track pants and double what you'd pay at Wal-Mart, but they come with pockets on the side and one in the back and...here's the show stopper...drawstring cuffs. If you're like me, this is great--bunch them up at the knees and tie off the drawstring and voila! windstopping knickers.
I don't know why, but I'm very excited about this. Maybe I'm just really projecting my excitement about winter.

Deploying Debian systems with FAI
Your Own Taste
The files/ directory stores by class all the files that FAI will copy to the target system. The hierarchy below files/ is based on the Debian directory tree. To illustrate this point: If you select the CC_HPCOMPAQ class, you will expect to find the menu.lst file in the client's /boot/grub directory later. For this to happen, you need to copy the contents of menu.lst into the files/boot/grub/menu.lst/CC_HPCOMPAQ/ directory. FAI does not automatically copy user-defined files below files/ to the target system; this only happens if the configuration script contains an fcopy command.
The command
fcopy -iM /boot/grub/menu.lst
copies the GRUB bootloader configuration file menu.lst to the client. It is part of the BC_LINUX class.
The /hooks directory contains programs or scripts for customizing the installation process. Finally, the scripts/ directory contains the scripts that FAI runs during the install. You can easily use fcopy to copy files on the basis of the client class or as a local command with the ${ROOTCMD} command.
In typical Unix style, FAI offers a number of scripting options. Besides legacy shell scripts, FAI will also run Perl or Cfengine scripts. Cfengine is a good choice for modifying configuration files.
After planning, collating, and configuring installation files and scripts, you are finally ready to use FAI to automate the installation process on a large number of computers. The last step is to extend the DHCP and TFTP configurations in a way that will allow the new clients to boot off the network and automatically launch into the FAI installation. To do so, you just need to apply the settings for the first test run. Once the FAI client has completed the installation, it will display a summary onscreen and wait for somebody to press Return to trigger a reboot (see Figure 3).
The FAI deployment framework stores all installation processes in logfiles on the server. If necessary, you can evaluate the files in the /-var/log/fai/ directory and check them for errors.
Remote Control
FAI is a versatile tool for automating the installation of DEB-based Linux distributions. In addition to x86, the automatic installer also supports Sparc and PowerPC architectures. The FAI installation solution is ideal for many situations, from computer clusters to heterogeneous IT infrastructures in enterprises. Once you have negotiated the learning curve, FAI provides a powerful tool capable of automating almost any Debian-based installation.

We got the 3 bedroom condo, it was so big and spacious. After hour check in was so easy and loved the pool and direct beach access. It was an amazing trip with 8 girls and we had more room than we needed!!
Great location. Friendly staff. Nice room. Kids loved to pool and close proximity to beach.
Parking was limited. Overflow parking was relatively easy but still had to cross a busy hwy. We would still stay here again.
the quality of the property and the location
the lack of staff availlable for checkin; confusing instructions for checkin over the phone
There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 2 children. The pool was very nice but it was the only thing good about the entire area of Perdido. If the pool had not been there, there would not have been anything else to do. The beach is crap.
The floors needed serious sweeping (sand everywhere). The bed linens had not been washed. We had to wash them before we could go to bed. The restaurant was convenient and the food was good, but not for children. It's more of a Bar.
Just like being home, good BIG TV's, great pool, handy locatin but not to busy
1st not a hotel it was a home,parking was a little crowed at times, but never more than 4 places from our door. Finding the check in could be better maybe Purple Parrot check in here sign

Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, UK which formed in 1985. The band is composed of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboard, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion).Read More...
The early years (1992 – 1995)
Radiohead released their first single, "Creep" in 1992. The song was initially unsuccessful, but it became a worldwide hit several months after the release of their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead's popularity rose in the United Kingdom with the release of their second album, The Bends (1995). The band's textured guitar parts and Yorke's falsetto singing were warmly received by critics and fans.
International success (1996 - 2000)
Radiohead's third album, OK Computer (1997), propelled them to greater international fame. Featuring an expansive sound and themes of modern alienation, OK Computer has often been acclaimed as a landmark record of the 1990s.
A change in style and leaving EMI (2000 – 2003)
Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001) marked a change in the band's musical style. Radiohead incorporated experimental electronic music, Krautrock, post-punk and jazz influences into their songs, dividing fans and critics, but they remained popular. Hail to the Thief (2003), a mix of guitar-driven rock, electronics and lyrics inspired by headlines, was the band's final album for their major record label, EMI.
Independent releases and touring (2005 - 2013)
In 2007, Radiohead independently released their seventh album, In Rainbows, originally as a digital download for which each customer could set their own price, later in stores, to critical and chart success.
In 2011, Radiohead released their eighth album, The King of Limbs - again independently - which was described as an exploration of rhythm and quieter textures.
In February 2012, Radiohead began The King of Limbs world tour - with concerts in the US, Canada, Mexico, Europe, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. In early 2013, following the tour, Thom Yorke released a studio album entitled Amok with his band Atoms for Peace.
A new album on the horizon? (2015?)
In late 2014, the band confirmed it was back in the recording studio, working on their ninth studio album. During an interview with Drowned in Sound in February 2015, drummer Phil Selway, said the new album was "coming along nicely". In June 2015, guitarist, Jonny Greenwood, confirmed to a Dutch music website "3voor12" that the new album was progressing and they were working on a old track called "Lift".
In mid 2015, rumors circulated that Radiohead will record the new James Bond soundtrack for the movie "Spectre" due for release in Oct 2015. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.

Holy crap, building a decent team in the Sinnoh games is hard. All of the Pokémon I want to use require items, trade, or, even worse, trade with items to fully evolve. You can build a decent team without these kinds of Pokémon but the things available, especially in Diamond and Pearl, aren't to my taste.
Right now in my Platinum I planned a team of Infernape, Roserade, Magnezone, Yanmega and Mamoswine, just need a Water-type to counter my horrible weakness to Fire, but the options are meh... My wildcards in situations like these are Gyarados and Vaporeon, which are themselves very competent indeed, but I wanted to use something different this time.
Maybe I replace Mamoswine with Quagsire and add Weavile as the final member of the team, but good lord, I'm really having to use things I'd never even thought I'd use before. Yanma and Quagsire, lol. but it's all cool, they're Johto Pokémon at heart and Johto is my favorite region.
Anyway, the journal... Currently going to face Roark with Monferno, and Monferno only.
