text: NaturePeople on Bonaire treat nature with love and respect. The island has been involved in nature protection for more than forty years. For example, Bonaire has five Ramsar sites (protected water areas), among which the mangrove forests. This nursery of the ocean can be easily explored by kayak. And nature is also protected in Washington Slagbaai National Park, where you can find no less than 500 different species of flora and fauna. Ever heard of the Lora? This bird is almost extinct, but you can still find it on Bonaire! |

13-year-old calls 911 during home invasion
TAMARAC, Fla. (WSVN) -- A 13-year-old girl's quick thinking and a 911 operator's guidance led police to arrest a couple accused of breaking into the South Florida residence where the girl and her younger sister were home alone.
Last Friday, Romel Bryan's daughters, 13 and 10, were by themselves in their residence along Northwest 73rd Terrace in Tamarac, while Bryan and his wife were away at work.
The girls frantically called their dad saying two people, a man and a woman, were banging on the house windows and asking for a man named Mike. "They got mad that we didn't answer the door, and they pounded on the window and it broke," said the older daughter.
Bryan, who was only a few miles away, started heading home. He said he drove even faster when the girls told him the two subjects had broken the front window. "When she said they broke the glass, the window, I said, 'OK, go through the back and run to the neighbor's house.' She said they were coming through the back too, so I said, 'OK, run back inside, hang up and call 911. I'm almost there,'" said Bryan.
"I had to get away [from the front door] and call the police," said the older daughter. The teen took her younger sister to the bathroom, locked the door and called 911 as the two burglars came in through a back door.
The dispatcher talked the girls through the situation until police arrived. "I felt no hesitation on her end, which made my job a lot easier," said 911 operator Shakita Ayodele.
Police released the following 911 call, Thursday:
911 operator: "Do you know the people that's inside of your home?"
Girls: "No, they broke the window."
911 operator: "Listen to me, they're on their way, OK?"
Girl: "OK."
911 operator: "You said they broke on through the window?"
Girl: "Yes, they opened the back door and broke the window."
Girl: "Maybe they left cause I heard the door close."
911 operator: "Do me a favor, do not go out of that bathroom. Stay on the line with me, and I'll let you know when it's safe."
(Noise in background)
911 operator: "What happened?"
Girl: "My dad just came home."
(Yelling in background)
911 operator: "Put your dad on the phone."
Bryan made it back home after the burglars had left and shortly before police arrived. "If they would've waited five more seconds, I would've been there," said Bryan.
They girls were able to give a detailed description of what the couple was wearing and what they looked like. A neighbor was also able to write down the license plate of the suspects' getaway car.
Thanks to the information deputies were able to arrest 45-year-old Kevin Skolnick and 30-year-old Jennifer Senatore shortly after the incident.
The couple, who had gotten away with a laptop and other items, were charged with burglary and grand theft.
The girls, who never came out of the bathroom, were unharmed. "I just had to get away and call the police really quick. I was scared that they would get us or tie us or something," said the 13-year-old girl.
Ayodele said the 13-year-old's calm demeanor made getting help a lot faster. "She was so calm, and able to give me the correct and precise information," she said.
The young caller thanked Ayodele for helping her prevent panic and despair from taking over. "Thank you to her, because she kept us calm and not noisy, so they didn't think [anyone was home]."
The Broward Sheriff's Office believes this is a case of mistaken identity, and that Skolnick was looking for $5,000 that was allegedly owed to him from a previous drug deal.
The couple confirmed they were actually trying to break into another home from a drug deal gone bad. They remain behind bars. Skolnick is being held on $90,000 bond and Senatore on $11,100 bond.
The girls' parents said they will not leave them home alone anytime soon.

Landmarks builds largest lagoon in Southeast Asia in Bintan
INTEGRATED: The developer has signed MOUs for resort investment and seaplane operations
Landmarks Berhad's Indonesian development Treasure Bay, an integrated tourism destination located in Bintan has commenced construction work for what is believed to be the largest clear water lagoon in Southeast Asia. Measuring over 60,000 m sq ( 645,835 sq ft), the Crystal Lagoon is built using technology from South America.
It will be complete with sandy white beaches and water attractions, and forms part of Phase 1 of the development. The lagoon will be ready by early 2013.
Earthworks had started in late 2011 and a flurry of building activities will see the opening of the first phase of the resort within the next 18 months.
Around the lagoon, an extensive landscaped boardwalk will be built. The walk allows visitors to have access to a variety of F&B, retail and entertainment outlets.
Treasure Bay will also be building a 5-star resort that is scheduled for completion by late 2014. The Company has been working with several potential investors and partners, and has signed a Memorandum of Understanding recently with investment company Decennia Pte Ltd for a joint venture on two hotels and a commercial centre.
To further cement the destination as a premier tourism location, wholly-owned subsidiary Primary Gateway Sdn Bhd has also entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with Skywave Pte Ltd. Skywave is involved in sea-plane operations.
In addition to routine flights from Singapore to Bintan, Skywave will enable resort operators to develop more islands which are outside comfortable ferry range.
Phase 1 of Treasure Bay is part of a 338-hectare development where Landmarks is the master developer.

Unclassified Inspectors General Report on the President's Surveillance Program
July 11, 2009 in Office of Inspector General of the Depratment of Defense
Inspectors General of the Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
- 43 pages
- Unclassified
- July 10, 2009
(U) Title III of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Amendments Act of 2008 required the Inspectors General (IGs) of the elements of the Intelligence Community that participated in the President's Surveillance Program (PSP) to conduct a comprehensive review of the program. The IGs of the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence participated in the review required under the Act. The Act required the IGs to submit a comprehensive report on the review to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the House Committee on the Judiciary.
(U) In response to Title III requirements, we have prepared this unclassified report on the PSP, which summarizes the collective results of our reviews. Because many aspects of the PSP remain classified, and in order to provide the Congressional committees the complete results of our reviews, we also prepared, and have bound separately, a classified report on the PSP. The individual reports detailing the results of each IG's review are annexes to the classified report.
A. Expansion of NSA's Collection Activities
Prior to September 11,2001, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 and Executive Order 12333 were generally viewed as the principal governing authorities for conducting electronic surveillance for national security purposes. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, 50 U.S.C. § 1801, et seq., was enacted in 1978 to "provide legislative authorization and regulation for all electronic surveillance conducted within the United States for foreign intelligence purposes." S. Rep. No. 95-701, at 9 (1978), reprinted in 1978 U.S.C.C.A.N. 3973,3977. Executive Order 12333 placed restrictions on intelligence collection activities engaged in by Executive Branch agencies, including the NSA, while also seeking to foster "full and free exchange of information" among these agencies. In 2000 the NSA reported to Congress that:
(U) The applicable legal standards for the collection, retention, or dissemination of information concerning u.s. persons reflect a careful balancing between the needs of the government for such intelligence and the protection of the rights of U.S. persons, consistent with the reasonableness standard of the Fourth Amendment, as determined by factual circumstances.
(U) In the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and Executive Order (E.O.) 12333, Congress and the Executive have codified this balancing. (Citations omitted.)
As explained below, the PSP expanded the NSA's authority by allowing it to conduct electronic surveillance within the United States without an order from the FISC when certain factual conditions and legal standards were met.
A. NSA Intelligence Activities under the PSP
According to the NSA OIG report, the first Presidential Authorization was the product of discussions between former NSA Director Hayden and White House officials. Hayden also consulted with NSA senior technical experts and experienced attorneys from the NSA's Office of General Counsel. While he consulted with NSA personnel in identifying critical intelligence gaps, only Hayden knew about and participated in the development of the Presidential Authorization by serving as a technical advisor. After the Authorization was signed, NSA attorneys supported the lawfulness of the resulting program. Hayden stated that DOJ did not participate in his early meetings about the NSA's collection activities. As noted, the Attorney General was read into the program on the same day he signed the first Authorization as to form and legality.
When the NSA received the first Presidential Authorization, Hayden noted that he was assured by the signature of the Attorney General that the program was iawful and had been reviewed by the White House and DOJ. After Hayden received the first Authorization, he assembled 80 to 90 people in a conference room and explained what the President had authorized. Hayden said: "We're going to do exactly what he said and not one photon or electron more." The NSA's purpose in implementing the PSP was to collect foreign intelligence. According to Hayden, the activities were targeted and focused with the purpose of "hot pursuit" of communications entering or leaving the United States involving individuals believed to be associated with al-Qa'ida, not to intercept conversations between people in the United States. The intercepted communications had to be reasonably believed to be al-Qa'ida communications, one end of which was in the United States.
According to the NSA OIG, the PSP had standards for targeting al-Qa'ida. There were several layers of review, starting with an NSA management review, and the NSA OIG conducted a review of target folders to ensure compliance with program standards and additional management controls. A sample of target folders was tested to determine whether targeting decisions were adequately supported. Any ambiguities were discussed with analysts and adequately resolved. The NSA OIG reported that the NSA's conduct of the PSP was reviewed and monitored by the NSA Office of General Counsel and the NSA OIG. According to the NSA OIG, NSA employees involved in the program received tailored training and their work was overseen to ensure that all activities were consistent with the letter and intent of the Authorization and with the protection of civil liberties. The NSA OIG report concluded that it found no evidence of intentional misuse of the PSP.
Hayden stated that although he understood that the PSP activities were more aggressive than those available traditionally under FISA, he believed that the PSP was less intrusive because the period of time in which collection was conducted was, in most cases, far less than was authorized in a typical FISC order. Additionally, the sole purpose of the overall PSP was to detect and prevent terrorism against the United States. According to Hayden, the program was designed to provide the NSA with the operational agility to cover terrorism-related targets.
A. Justice Department Attorneys Become Concerned About the Legality of Some Activities under the PSP
As noted above, John Yoo was the sole OLC attorney who advised Attorney General Ashcroft and White House officials on the PSP from the program's inception in October 2001 through Yoo's resignation from DOJ in May 2003. Upon Yoo's departure, another DOJ official, Patrick Philbin, was selected by the White House to be read into the PSP to assume Yoo's role as advisor to the Attorney General concerning the program. In addition, Jack Goldsmith replaced Jay Bybee as the Assistant Attorney General for OLC on
October 6,2003. Even though Bybee had never been read into the PSP, Philbin persuaded Counsel to the Vice President David Addington to read in Goldsmith, Bybee's replacement.

A couple of weeks ago I took part in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung's Tendenzwende conference – a small gathering in Berlin of historians, economists, constitutional lawyers and philosophers, that has been held annually since 2009. It is named after a famous academic conference held in 1974, which coined the term that captured the end of the immediate post-war period and the beginning of a new phase of slow growth after the oil shock of 1973. After the financial crisis in 2008, Andreas Rödder (a historian) and Günther Nonnenmacher (one of the five publishers of the Frankfurter Allgemeine) had the idea of holding a similar conference to discuss whether a new paradigm shift was now taking place. The big question was: what comes after neo-liberalism? This year's conference (which took place under the Chatham House rule) was on Europe.
German Euroscepticism

German power in the EU
Published August 5, 2013 German foreign policy , international relations Leave a CommentI've recently been having a debate with Josef Janning of the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP) about German power in the European Union. In May Janning published an article on DGAP's website in which he challenged the assumption that Germany was "calling the shots" in the EU and attempted to quantify various dimensions of member-state power. In my response I argued that Janning underestimated Germany's power as the eurozone's largest creditor and also stopped short of spelling out the implications of his correct but rather alarming conclusion that other member states could outvote Germany if they joined forces – in effect an anti-German coalition. In his response to me, Janning argued that I overestimated German power within the EU by too narrowly focusing on the euro crisis and disregarding British and French military capabilities. In my second response, I argued that although military capabilities allowed France and the UK to project power beyond Europe, they are not a source of leverage within Europe.
Germany and geo-economics
Published June 3, 2013 German foreign policy , international relations Leave a CommentTags: geo-economics, Germany
Since writing an essay on "Germany as a geo-economic power" in 2011, I've been thinking a lot about the concept of "geo-economics". Although the term is being used a lot at the moment, there is no shared definition of it. (Sanjaya Baru, who runs the programme on geo-economics at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, had a good introduction to the various usages of the term in Survival, which was originally written as an introduction for a conference on "geo-economics" in Bahrain in March 2012 that I attended.) There are basically two versions of the term: a "soft" version that is meant to capture the way states increasingly seem to pursue economic objectives and a "hard" version that is meant to capture the way that states increasingly seem to use economic means to achieve strategic objectives.
Augstein and Israel
Published February 15, 2013 Israel , Uncategorized Leave a CommentTags: anti-Semitism, Germany, Israel
In Germany during the last few weeks there has been a debate about the question of the difference between a critique of Israeli policy and anti-Semitism – a subject that I discussed in a previous post. The debate centres on the 45 year-old German journalist Jakob Augstein, who was recently called an anti-Semite by the Simon Wiesenthal Center because of his criticism of Israel in his columns for Spiegel Online. He was brought up by Rudolf Augstein, the founder editor of Spiegel, and is a major shareholder in the company that owns it. But it emerged in 2002 that his biological father is actually Martin Walser, the 85 year-old writer who is most associated with attempts to draw a Schlußstrich, or final line, under the Nazi past. So influential is Walser perceived to have been – Chancellor Gerhard Schröder seemed implictly to approve of the remarks Walser made in his famous speech at the Paulskirche in Frankfurt in 1998 – that academics have written of a "Walserisation" of Germany during the last decade and a half.
Germany's arms-export boom
Published December 26, 2012 German foreign policy Leave a CommentTags: Germany, Japan
A few weeks ago the cover of the Spiegel showed Chancellor Angela Merkel in combat fatigues with the headline: "German weapons for the world". The story (available in English online) was about the so-called Merkel doctrine – an implicit policy of staying out of difficult and unpopular Western interventions such as the one in Libya last year while selling arms to other countries, in particular in the Middle East, to enable them take greater "responsibility" for security. The Federal Republic has traditionally had a comparatively restrictive arms-export policy and in particular rejected the sale of arms by German companies to undemocratic governments or countries in "conflict regions". But under Merkel, according to the Spiegel story, the German defence industry – which employs 80,000 people – is booming as the government increasingly approves the sale of weapons to undemocratic regimes in areas of actual or potential conflict.
The deep, deep sleep of England
Published December 7, 2012 Uncategorized Leave a CommentTags: Orwell
My favourite passage in the English language is the last paragraph of George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia (1938). In it he describes coming back to Blighty after fighting in the Spanish Civil War, in which he was shot in the neck and nearly killed. Forseeing World War II and in particular the Blitz, he captures beautifully the sense of cognitive dissonance one often has on returning from the world to the familiarity of England. The passage also evokes Britain's tendency to ignore developments in contintental Europe until it is too late: the "deep, deep sleep of England". It seems to me as apt in 2012 as it was in 1938:
I recently read Quinn Slobodian's book Foreign Front, which I was reviewing for the TLS. It is mainly about the role that students from Africa, Asia and Latin America played in the West German New Left in the 1960s and the complex relationship between intellectuals in the West and revolutionaries in the Third World. But it also includes a discussion of the early work of the German filmmaker Harun Farocki. I'd known Farocki was of Indian origin. But until reading Slobodian's book, I hadn't realised that his father was a supporter of Subhas Chandra Bose, the Indian nationalist leader who went to Berlin during World War II and formed an alliance with the Nazis. That fact makes Farocki a particularly interesting figure who links the story of Germany's 1968 generation with the story of the Indian independence movement.

You need to figure out how to stay on topic. The topic is "GOP needs to change to reach new voters," and involves Ari Fleischer's thoughts on the horribly-flawed GOP, and what they can do to restore public's confidence in the party, which is sorely lacking at the moment.
I'm sorry that you were unaware what a straw man argument is (even though your posts were heavily reliant upon them). You would think after eight years of the Bush presidency, the definition of a straw man argument would be apparent, and obvious.
I'm sure Mr. Fleischer used a few of 'em for old times sake when he made his speech in Simi.

Consumer Confidence Held Steady This Month
By Mark Memmott
After a slight decline in March, the widely watched consumer confidence index from the private Conference Board "was virtually unchanged in April," the research group reports.
"The index now stands at 69.2, down slightly from 69.5 in March," it says.
"Overall, consumers are more upbeat about the state of the economy, but they remain cautiously optimistic," Lynn Franco, director of the board's consumer research center, adds in its release.
Consumer confidence is a key economic indicator, of course, because consumers drive demand for goods and services. They purchase about 70 percent of what businesses produce.

In today's environment, four major cost containment pain points challenge organizations that self-administer claims-- maintaining high quality data, effective claims administration, managing rising medical costs, and litigation management.
Although none of these pain points have a simple or single solution, in all cases leveraging technology can vastly improve outcomes for self-administered organizations. Despite this, many lack access to the latest and best technology. Even though moving to newer, more robust technology platforms requires time, effort, and investment, the benefits can be significant.
One basic, but sometimes overlooked fact is that quality data is the foundation for highly effective claims administration. "Today's technology can support the maintenance of accurate data and assure quality during ongoing collection efforts," says Dawn Zoppa, Executive Director and Senior Vice President of Commercial Business at CS STARS LLC, the business unit of Marsh Inc. that delivers integrated software and services for claims administration and risk and compliance management.
"Without the commitment to capture and maintain the appropriate level of quality data, outcomes will be questionable at best," Ms. Zoppa says. "The value of CS STARS' applications builds on the strength of our proven data transformation processes."
Consistent and efficient claims intake and claims handling is an area where technology can bring significant value to organizations. Advances in applications, platforms, and access have greatly altered what is possible, yet many organizations have yet to take advantage of these changes. "When organizations are looking for technologies to manage claims and control costs, they often find legacy systems that are more than 10-years old," Ms. Zoppa says. "In many cases, the technology is simply not current enough to deliver a truly optimized administration process."
One of the biggest concerns for any firm administering claims is controlling "claims leakage" -- the dollars wasted by inefficiencies in the claims administration process. This is especially true with systems that are poorly designed and lack the proper ongoing technology support. Newer technology solutions offer better ways to quantify and understand leakage and make the adjustments necessary to achieve improved results.
Today's technology can have a big impact in the early reporting of injuries in workers' compensation cases, the so-called "Holy Grail" of minimizing overall claim costs. For example, claims can easily be input via the Web or mobile devices today resulting in more timely and complete reporting of claims.
"Studies clearly show the relationship between early reporting and lower costs," Ms. Zoppa said, adding that intake technology applications allowing managers and other end users to report an incident 24/7 can significantly help control upfront claim costs. "In the age of Facebook and Twitter, access to instantaneous information has become the norm," she says. "At CS STARS, we have found that the majority of organizations prefer self-service tools to live operator interaction."
CS STARS' Interview Entry is a customizable tool that facilitates accurate self-service input of data. "It's very dynamic," Ms. Zoppa says. "The more streamlined and user friendly we have made the tool, the more effective it has become. Interview style entry allows for an intuitive and efficient intake process that assures the swift collection of necessary data."
Marla Shone, Director of Strategic Relationships in the Commercial Business unit at CS STARS, says that regardless of the amount of claims or whether the firm is self-administered, efficiency and decision support tools are critical.
"Clients strive to have the most efficient claims adjudication process possible," she says. "We created STARS with a task-driven workflow that can be adapted to the specific business parameters and processes of an organization. A technology solution must be configurable to meet changing client needs."
The user interface must be intuitive throughout the adjudication process, Ms. Shone explains, Features such as drop down menus, auto-population of , and validation rules are merged with larger workflow process to increase efficiency. Any effective system should be configurable to support a company's data requirements, escalation paths, notification, and approval scenarios. "Specific claim types or scenarios can be routed for review, action and approval automatically," she says. "By automating and standardizing the administrative aspects of the process, seasoned adjustors can focus on high value aspects of their roles."
Additionally those that self-administer must have an effective way to ensure continued adherence with mandatory reporting requirements, particularly in workers' compensation. "The regulatory aspects of claims administration have and continue to become more complex and organizations need to be able to meet current and new requirements" Ms. Zoppa says. Medicare set asides, CMS Section 111 reporting, state-mandated FROIs and SROIs, and state-specific forms and letters are all areas that must be addressed and where technology solutions can vary greatly in their robustness and value to the process.
Medical treatment remains the primary expense component in workers' compensation, and a myriad of solutions and vendors exist to help self-administered organizations control these rising costs. These include such services as medical bill review, nurse case management, and utilization review. Each of these mechanisms has a framework and associated set of technologies to achieve the desired cost control outcomes. To maximize the impact of these solutions, self-administered organizations should ensure that the relevant data associated with these processes is integrated with their claims administration system. "A comprehensive view of this data assures the most effective claims handling and supports the best decisions at the claim and business level," Ms. Shone says.
Similarly, incorporating litigation data (i.e. area of specialization, jurisdiction, and counsel success rate) at both the claims and attorney level allow solutions to aid in the selection and management of litigation resources. The ability to review and enhance claims and adjustor notes in a robust claim platform enables collaboration across the organization and, where appropriate, with outside counsel to ultimately result in better informed decisions and faster claims resolution.
The ongoing value of any technology is represented by a firm's ability to leverage new system features and functionality. The level of effort and impact to an organization can vary greatly from system to system. Cloud technologies and Software as a Service (SaaS) models that facilitate seamless user access to a company's newest tools are becoming more popular. By leveraging a SaaS delivery model, companies like CS STARS can deliver the most current versions of their applications to clients without disruption.
"Clients continuously benefit from improvements we make to our overall product suite," Ms. Zoppa says. "They want and need the latest enhancements and, with a SaaS model, it's much easier for us to meet that demand easily and transparently."
In the end, Ms. Zoppa says rapidly changing technology is helping self-administered entities and TPAs to have a much greater success in managing claims effectively and reducing costs.
"It's very expensive to maintain a fully insured/administered program, so self-administration is a growing and important trend to minimize these escalating costs," she says. "But for a firm that has never done it before or is looking to do it better, it is important to understand how technology is essential to the program's success. To drive down costs, technology is the critical lynchpin.
"The best advice is to work with a partner that has expertise, robust technology, and a proven track record for supporting this business," Ms. Zoppa adds. "To put the right application in place requires patience and commitment, but using the most effective technology will definitely yield successful results."

The following functions and macros can be used within templates. These are guaranteed to work via the safemode rendering, to ensure a template can do nothing harmful. With safemode disabled ($$ADD instructions here$$), other macros may work, but are not supported at this time.
Accessing Templates¶
There are two ways to render a template, based on a single host, or based on a Hostgroup. The host or hostgroup provides all the details with which to render the template.
Host-based Rendering¶
Only a single template of each type may be rendered for a system.
To access a template of a certain type simply use this url:
for example: /unattended/provision
would render the provisioning template. The host will be based on the IP Address it is accessed from. To spoof a template simply access the url in this manner:
where 192.168.0.1 is the ip address of the system you want to spoof. This allows you to view a template for a particular system from anywhere.
Hostgroup-based rendering¶
Allows any template to be rendered for any Hostgroup. When rendering using a hostgroup, @host is actually the hostgroup instead of a defined host. The default values for the hostgroup are used for templated values. This means if a value is not set in the hostgroup, you may get an error when rendering the template. To access a template using a Hostgroup to render, simply use this URL:
/unattended/template/Template Name/Hostgroup Name
For example, a hostgroup of name Finance, and a template named WebServerKickstart could be rendered using the url:
PXE Menus¶
Pxe Menus can be deployed to smart proxies from the Config Tempalates.
Writing templates¶
Functions and macros:¶
Name | Description | Example |
root_pass | The root password configured for the system | |
ks_console | ||
snippets(name) | Renders the specified snippet | |
foreman_url(kind) | Provides the full URL to a host-rendered template of the given kind | foreman_url("provision") => http://HOST/unattended/provision |
@host | The name of the host | |
@host.name | The name of the host | |
@host.diskLayout | The disklayout of the host (could come from the operating system) | |
@host.puppetmaster | The puppetmaster the host should use | |
@host.architecture | The arch of the host (i.e. x86_64) | |
@host.operatingsystem | The operating system name | |
@host.operatingsystem.media_url | ||
@host.operatingsystem.major | The major version of the OS | |
@host.operatingsystem.minor | The minor version of the OS | |
@host.operatingsystem.family | The OS Family (I.e. redhat, debian, etc.) | |
@host.url_for_boot(:kernel) | ||
@host.url_for_boot(:initrd) |
Kickstart only variables:¶
Name | Description | Example |
@dynamic | ||
@osver | ||
@arch | ||
@mediapath | ||
@epel | ||
@yumrepo | ||
@static |
Preseed attributes:¶
Name | Description | Example |
@preseed_path | ||
@preseed_server |

Mammoth Mountain
Mountain stats
Lift count : 3 x Gondolas 24 x Chairlifts
Ride area 3500 acres
Pass (Low/High Season) : USD-79 Day,
California has given us Hollywood, Daffy Duck and thankfully, Mammoth Mountain. Located in the Eastern Sierra region, Mammoth has welcomed snowboarders onto its slopes for many years, and with a good snow record (a record 15.4m in 2004/5 season), riding is often possible into June.
The past few years have seen huge investment by Intrawest (owners of Whistler & Squaw), much of this evident in the huge terrain parks and fast lift system, but also the construction of the new village resort that opened last season. The new village sits on the edge of town with a Gondala taking you to Canyon Lodge, this season should see a trail back to the village completed. Mammoth's slopes can often get busy at weekends when the place fills up with California's city dwellers. Don't let that put you off though as by normal American standards, Mammoth is a pretty big place. In fact, it's one of the biggest resorts in America, with over 150 trails set out on a long-since dead volcano; no matter what your style or ability, theres plenty to do.
Mammoth's terrain parks have acheived legendary status, for the third year running picking up Transworlds best pipe award, and runner up to Whistler for best terrain park. Its not just for the pro's either, theres parks and pipes designed for every ability. Overall Mammoth is a great resort for boarders, theres good variety in terrain from trees to open bowls, an efficient lift system; the last drag lift was removed last season. One gripe is the piste markings which are a bit of a nightmare as they seem to just disappear.

Computer crashes are probably the most devastating event of a person's technological life. Not to mention one of the most expensive. So how many times do I gotta tell ya? Back up that data! It's easy to do, and once you do it, you'll not only have peace of mind but will have all of your photos, music, and personal documents safely out of your computer in case of any crazy power surge or (knock on wood) worse. Check out three easy ways to back up your most important data in this slideshow.
A Place For Everything and Everything in Its Place: BackPack
The BackPack attaches to the backside of your iMac's stand, and is height adjustable, so you can secure two or maybe even three shelves on the back of your machine. Store your external, your phone or iPod while they charge, or even a USB hub for more plug-in ports. And don't worry about scratches — there's no drilling or screws involved. I'm all about saving and utilizing space to the max, and for $30 bucks, you know I've got this on this year's back-to-school list.
The New Iomega eGo Portable Hard Drive
Looks may be deceiving, but don't be fooled: I promise this is a sexier and sleeker version of the eGo drive I reviewed last year.
This much lighter, third generation, 320GB drive offers built-in antivirus software and an impressive rugged aluminum exterior that can withstand a 1.3 meter drop, which you know as well as I do is very important when you're lugging around a device that holds your important data.
Online, this puppy will cost you around $95, which is pretty affordable, considering I've heard of similar devices going for upwards of $150.After a few months of use, I had some issues with my first eGo drive, so I was pleased to hear Iomega is offering a three-year warranty on the third gen drives. What really irks me, though, is that these drives are primarily built for PCs, not Macs. The included USB cord comes with a cord to plug into your drive and two attached USB cords to plug into your laptop. On many Macs, there are two USB ports (on opposite sides of the laptop), so plugging in both cords is practically impossible. Although your drive may be able to run with only one USB cord plugged in, it isn't sufficient power to experience the high-speed data transfer rates. And sadly, a powered USB bus isn't included, even though there is an auxiliary power port for it. So if you really want to use it on your Mac, you'd have to invest in one.
This is the midnight blue version, but it is also available in red, silver, and black. With the noteworthy upgrades from the last eGo, I think this eGo is worthy of four stars.
Heal Your PC From Viruses With the Dr. Hard Drive Bag
I can give you multiple reasons why I love this concept piece I found on Coroflot. Not only is this hanging hard drive packed with virus-scanning software to help you track down any bugs that may have attacked your computer, but it can also recover any corrupted files, so it's actually a useful piece of equipment.
Plus, it's kinda cute in a totally out-of-left-field kind of way, and it flashes and glows in the dark while it's doing its thing. I'm hoping the concept artist releases these soon, cause I can really see myself picking one up, even if it's just for the fun of it!
When Size Doesn't Matter: Most Attractive Hard Drives
External hard drives are a big enough market these days that you don't have to settle for some lame-o black or silver box. You can have your pretty and back up, too. Check out some of my favorite, most attractive hard drives that do double duty as desk decor.
LaCie's Hard Drive Is G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
Now that you're singing Fergie's tune in your head, I'll direct you to this pimped-out LaCie 500GB External Hard Drive ($150). It's gold, it's artsy, it's totally chic. For any geek, this would be the next best thing to getting an actual gold brick under the tree this Christmas.
We all know the importance of backing up your data, and now you can do it dripping with style. That is, if cereal- and milk carton-themed hard drives aren't your thing. For me, there's no question which one I would prefer. Ooh flossy, flossaay!
Protect Your External Hard Drive With a Cooling Case
I've already told you that it's probably a good idea to get an external hard drive to back up your data, but they aren't always the most attractive things to put on your desk. But if you have a good sense of humor, and an affinity for wacky desk accessories, then you'll totally love these External Hard Drive Cases from Meninos.
Not only are these cases fun, but they also keep your hard drive cool with a two fan cooler, and they come with a number of essential cords like the USB 2.0, an external AC adapter, and of course a power cord. I could call these kooky and silly, but one word I won't be able to use to describe these cases is: cheap. Each case comes in at $190 bucks, and if you want to buy a hard drive with the case, the price only goes up from there!
Does Hard Drive Color Matter to You?
When I purchased my first computer, laptop, and MP3 player, the last thing I cared about was its color — I was just overjoyed to be able to call one of these gadgets my very own (plus they didn't come in cool colors like red or pink).
Nowadays, whether it be laptops, iPods, or USB flash drives, you can usually find your favorite gadget in your favorite color as well. But I must admit, seeing candy-colored external hard drives is a rarity. When external drives become just as popular as flash drives, I'll understand why they need to be splashed in 11 different colors like these My Passport Essential Portable Drives. For some reason, I think of black when I think of a hard drive, but then again, that's me having to adapt to hard drives being just as beautiful as every other gadget I own . . . But I do love my pink eGo, so maybe there is a part of me that cares.
What do you think? Do you care what color your external hard drive is?
Ask a Geek Girl: Hard Drive Woes
Since we've started the Ask a Geek Girl Group, we've gotten some pretty awesome questions, as well as some really insightful answers from you readers. Great job! Doesn't it feel great to help others? This question, posted by TeamSugar user amers230 about external hard drives is something we all may face at some point.
"A few weeks ago, I finally took my laptop into the Geeksquad to have them fix a few things. While I was there I mentioned it had been running really slowly for a while. I found out I had less than a gig of memory left on my hard drive. The guy told me to get an external hard drive and put all of my stuff on it. Do you have any recommendations on type/brand of an external hard drive? I'd like to upgrade my iPod, so I'm thinking I shouldn't get one with less than 120 gigs of memory, but I'm also a poor recent college graduate who can't afford to spend more than $100 (but spending less would be preferable if possible.) Any good tips on how to actually move my music to the hard drive?"

Members Mark Grill Parts
As soon as warm weather comes and the outdoor temperature is close to 20 degrees, the season comes to delicious meals cooked on the grill. Roasting on an open fire is the oldest way of cooking. Our ancestors have perfected this technique and used it in other cases: for example, tried to save a little longer fruit, wrapped in leaves and warmed in hot ashes.

Of a healthy view of meat dishes, fish or poultry, grilled without added fat and spices all come, that they are quite harmless. Typically, raw materials contain very little fat, which during processing on the grill just evaporates. The natural taste of meat is filled with aroma of spices during cooking. Infrared radiation penetrates the meat from the outside inwards and gradually making it easy to digest by the body. In contrast to the radiation of heat (as in a microwave oven) when handling the grill there is direct contact, resulting in fat does not turn into carcinogenic substances and steam into the liquid. Thus, the processing of food on the grill with Members Mark grill parts is a natural form for the preparation of meat and finished products and is a perfect, safe and easy way of cooking. It is suitable even for people suffering from diseases of the stomach, gall bladder and liver. In addition, this food has a relatively low in calories and contributes to the acquisition or preservation in good shape.

Dermabrasion - Before and After Photos
Facial Peeling
Dermabrasion may be called a face peeling in other words. A cosmetologist uses a special instrument in a form of a brush that rotates and removes the upper skin layer. All imperfections on a face like acne, scars or uneven pigmentation get removed by this cosmetic procedure. Though the very process is rather rough and sometimes the skin may bleed, before and after pictures show that it takes just a few weeks for all the little wounds to heal. A skin on the face grows really fast due to a good blood circulation on this part of the body.
Scars Treatment
One may ask what is the difference between previous scars and the wounds and injures acquired in the process of dermabrasion. It is a great difference because this procedure evens the skin surface and its texture. However, it may be effective only if acne scars and other skin imperfections are rather flat. The result will be successful if dermabrasion is conducted right after the surgery to remove the scars. Obviously, the procedure can't be made right after it, a patient should wait from eight to twelve weeks, and then visit a cosmetologist's office.
Wrinkles and Sunburns
Not only scars can be removed. A cosmetic consultant may advise you to undergo dermabrasion to get rid of undesirable skin color and pigmentation. When this is the first reason of the peeling then a specialist may use some bleaching ingredients in the solutions applied during the procedure. Tretinoin (Retin-A) is also used to enhance the effect of those bleaches. Wrinkles may be removed with dermabrasion, too. But only the light ones.
Dermabrasion may be performed in different ways. First, this process depends on the amount of rotations or the speed of a brush. Second, the nature of this brush is very important, too. Third, it is all about the procedure's period. Since the process is rather painful a doctor may apply the local anesthesia which acts only in the local area of the procedure.
Dermabrasion is mostly used to fight with acne and those scars they may leave. As it has already been mentioned, the process is very effective in cases of accidents, surgery scars and sunburns. Learn all benefits and results of the procedure, upload before and after pictures and make a right choice whether you need this treatment or not. You may discuss this here, too, in order to choose the best variant of dermabrasion for yourself.

and to begin I really don't wish the series ill. but I was thinking about this. I mean TSCC (Which remains the best iteration of Terminator in my opinion) couldn't keep an audience and sustain itself. The latest movie although fine was in no way anything special. So what do you all think, in 10 years will we have a whole bunch more terminator, or will there be one maybe two more movies and that is all?

'Empty Purse' Protest at Stormont
Following on from a successful demonstration of women in the community sector in May at a Belfast Job Centre a second 'Empty Purse' protest was organised, with the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), against Benefit Cuts at Parliament Buildings on the morning of 25th June.
The coalition Government's Welfare Reform Act 2012 received Royal Assent on 8th March, consolidates a range of benefits, including child tax credit, housing benefit and income support, into a single Universal Credit. In the case of married or cohabiting couples, the benefit will be paid to just one person – and the Empty Purse Campaign argues that vulnerable women could lose what little financial independence they have at present.
Lynn Carvill from Women's Resource and Development Agency who attended the protest said, "There was a great turnout this morning. It is crucial that we get our message across to our politicians but also to the general public. The new benefit Universal Credit will be paid to the nominated person in the household. Our societal default position is that it will be to the male 'head of household'. Women across Northern Ireland are furious about this regressive move and rightly so. We are asking that Universal Credit (which replaces housing benefit, income-based JSA and ESA and all tax credits) should be paid to the second earner or main carer. If this is unpalatable, then it should be split. Women in the main are responsible for household budgeting and expenditure. They should have direct access to resources."
The Welfare Reform Draft Bill is currently being scrutinised by the committee for the Department for Social Development before going to plenary session.

Five climbers trapped in avalanche in south Russia rescued - official
11:02 16/02/2006
CHERKESSK/MOSCOW, February 16 (RIA Novosti) - Five climbers trapped in a mountain gorge after an avalanche in southern Russia have been rescued, a local official said.
The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry said the rescue operation in the Ulu-Talla Gorge in the southern Russian republic of Karachayevo-Circassia had involved a Mi-8 helicopter of the Russian border guards.
The helicopter is now en route to Cherkessk, the capital of the North Caucasus republic.
The climbers first ran into trouble on Tuesday morning about 116 kilometers (70 miles) to the south of the republic's capital. An avalanche killed one member of nine-strong group before another snow-slide later claimed a further three lives.

"Good enough just for sleeping"
Stayed as a stepping stone stay for going to Oyster Festival in Wellfleet. No fancy, romantic facility, the room smelled moldy but had enough equipments just to sleep. Indoor swimming pool was not bad. Breakfast was nothing fun but complimentary with this room rate, I should not complain on it. Ad a bar in walking distance (in another hotel across the […] street), 2-3 min drive to a nice seafood restaurant, close to Buzzerds bay. As a whole, not bad for the room rate.

It had free wireless, plenty of free parking and a comfortable bed. That was about all we wanted at midnight.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Very close to rotary, easy on and off the cape"
the room was fine, basic and clean, The young man at the front desk was very nice and suggested an excellent restaurant which we enjoyed. It was pretty quiet for the most part, I would ask for a top floor room next time, I heard the people above walking around late at night which was the only not so good thing.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

"Overnight visit"
The only thing that could be taken care of is the register and baseboard need painting in the room (101). Otherwise, everything was superior for the price of the room. It's convenient to the main roads, but being at the rotary for the Bourne bridge isn't as quiet as I would have liked. The next time I will ask for a room the farthest away from the rotary.

"A Work In Progress"
We stayed here because it was near a stop-over on our travels, and the price was one of the cheaper ones in the area. The hotel seems to be pretty old, but it also seems that they are in the process of making renovations/updates. The bathtub/shower was obviously new, but the couch and sofa were obviously old. The springs in the easy chair weren't very […] good, so you kind of sank into it. The bed was comfortable, though. The air conditioner was the window unit kind, so it was a bit noisy, but it worked very well. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

The room initially wasn't what I reserved but the staff was awesome in fixing this. The pool was clean and great for a family to prep and swim.

"Emergency place to stay"
This motel works if you have an emergency need of a place to stay and can't find any other motel. I was pleasantly surprised as to the comfort of the beds and the room was really clean. Just smelly if I had any complaint. Moldy I guess. Needed to put the air on and go out to dinner and when we came back it was tolerable. For the price it was ok. Thought […] it should be cheaper. We needed a place to stay overnight since family house was full and this was right around the corner and available. Good place to eat though, is the Lobster Restaurant (LIGHTHOUSE). Good food there and good ice cream. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

Nice place. Clean, located just after the bridge. We needed a stay over on the way to catch the earliest ferry. Only 20 minutes from Woods Hole. Staff were polite and beds were comfortable.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"If you're in a Jam..."
Good side, it's about 20 minutes from Falmouth, if you're running the Falmouth Road Race. (Make sure you tell front desk that you need an early check-out as no one around at 6am when you need to leave. This was an Ok hotel, but here's what I didn't like: Door Jam was old and looked torn up and flimsy. Popcorn found under chair cushion. Dust balls in […] corner of rooms. Front sliding window was not locked when I arrived and would not lock, but for a slight 1/8 inch catch. The window lock would not go into locking slot at all... looks like it never did. Called front desk, but no one ever came up. Oil resin on dresser by phone that I wiped up. Dustballs in corner of room. If you can get over that stuff, not too bad to lay your head down for a night.

"Very convenient and inexpensive"
A little shabby on the edges - some peeling paint, found an eye patch in the corner (?!) - I asked to see the room before signing in, based on some negative feedback I'd read here, and was therefore able to choose a room that was not smelly (the other choice was) so I was completely happy with my inexpensive stay.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
This hotel is a dump. We chose this hotel based on last minute getaway price. Once we opened the door to our "non smoking" room we were hit with a wall of stale cigarette smell - disgusting! We left door and very tiny window open for a bit hoping to air the place out but the people in the room next door kept walking by and looking in - mind your own […] business!!!! So we had to shut the door and deal with the stench. We were too tired to find something else. Scummy people come out at dusk in this area. We saw a women get pulled over and arrested as we were having dinner and what we are sure must have been two hookers and thier pimp. The only good thing about this place is that the bed was comfy but I was also exhausted so....I would not recommend this hotel or stay here ever again, just plain gross.

"A good place to stay"
I thought it was expensive but staying in the cape is expensive. I got the early. I was surprised the front desk let me check in anyways so I wasn't too surprised when there was somebody still in the room I received a key for. I brought the key back and told the man at the front desk I would return later but before I could leave he gave me a key and […] walked me to another room that I believe was an upgrade he also apologized for the previous room. There was breakfast available in the morning. Pastries, toast, bagels, oatmeal packets, bananas, coffee, juice, milk etc. nothing special but nice to have when you wake up in the morning especially with kids. There was a pool we never made it, we spent most of our time at the beach. Also i hate bugs any kind of bugs and i did not see any in this motel. It was a good place to stay I just think it should be a little cheaper. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

"Works in a pinch"
Came to the area for an important high-school reunion, this was the closest place available (20 mi), everything else booked more than a month in advance. Suspected it would be a bit long in the tooth, and it was. Furniture has that cigarette burn finish that everybody loves. Bed was very comfortable, shower was adequate, A/C was an old in-wall unit, […] a bit noisy, but worked fine. Put the sign out for early maid service, mine was the last room done, so maybe a little attention to detail wouldn't hurt? Question whether it was worth the price under normal circumstances, but it got the job done in a pinch. Pročitajte višeAutentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
