Our collection of sympathy plants includes both plants delivered by a local florist and a selection that can be shipped to the family's home or office.
A sophisticated and beautiful way to show your care and support, plants also aid in the healing process. Research shows that contact with nature can significantly improve mind, body and spirit. According to scientific studies, the presence of plants during recovery from a difficult experience prompts positive emotions, lowers stress levels, and can even improve heart rate and blood pressure.
Plants can also help the healing process by naturally filtering the air. A recent NASA study concluded such plants as Gerbera daisies and English ivy are known to remove toxins from the air through their leaves, roots, and soil. Also fragrant flowers such as roses and lavender can promote relaxation and general well being.
Green Plants: Long-lasting green plants are tasteful and sophisticated expressions of sympathy. They're perfect as memorial or remembrance gifts due to their versatility and hardiness.
Dish Gardens: A classic memorial, mixed dish gardens bring blooming color and unique style during the grieving process. Crafted using a variety of green and blooming plants and presented in an elegant container for displaying on a tabletop, dish gardens are perfect for friends, family members and business associates to send to the home or office to express sympathy.
Floor Plants: Abundant floor plants are bold and beautiful expressions of condolences. Typically sent to either the service or to the home by friends, family members or colleagues.
Gardenia Plants: The gardenia's glossy, dark-green leaves and fragrant, creamy-white blooms help create an elegant tribute to friends and loved ones. One of nature's most sophisticated flowers.
Peace Lily: The universal floral symbol for conveying sympathy, the Peace Lily also represents love, serenity and the rebirth of the soul.
Dried Wreaths: The circular wreath is a symbol of eternal life, and a dried wreath signifies everlasting memories. A graceful way for friends, family members and business associates to send condolences.
Plantable Trees: A gift of a tree that can be planted outdoors to the grieving family symbolizes everlasting love and is a fitting memorial for lost loved ones.

i dont understand what you are asking here. are u asking why your usb doesnt show in Storage media?
When i load BT4 Beta on my Usb ,
i go to Storage media in konquer but the folder is empty, no Usb device or anything.
Ok i found in mnt/sdb my Usb Device where BT4 is booted from.
So thats for me ok.
But just wanna say there will not rise a Usb device in storage media folder. with several USB sticks (flashdrives)
i dont understand what you are asking here. are u asking why your usb doesnt show in Storage media?
Until they become conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious...
that is, because some usb sticks have the usb removable storage bit removed. I have not yet find a way to set it on or off reliably.
I haven't tried to reboot and see if it was a permanent "fix" but I know it works for the current session.
I have the same issue, but it's really a non-issue. Just click the reload button and they all show up. If it matters at all (probably doesn't), I am running BT4 off a 4GB SD card with an extra partition for saving changes. It works like a charm.
i got this problem too
Can't use USB or CD-DVD when you are using backtrack
install disk-manager and make mount for every thing cd usb fashmomary
I have a hard-disk installation of BT4beta, and I still have to hit "Reload" when I go into Storage Media in order to get any drives to show up.
Ask questions on the open forums, that way everybody benefits from the solution, and everybody can be corrected when they make mistakes. Don't send me private messages asking questions that should be asked on the open forums, I won't respond. I decline all "Friend Requests".
Same here i have to hit reload to get them to show up No biggie
open /etc/fstab file and change mnt -> media
for example
/dev/sda3 /mnt/sda3 reiserfs auto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate
/dev/sda3 /media/sda3 reiserfs auto,noatime,users,suid,dev,exec 0 0 # AutoUpdate
now you see the devices
(creating the /media/sda3 first)

It doesn't matter where the term "public interest design" came from—it only matters where it's going. That's what Design Corps founder Bryan Bell, Assoc. AIA, wants people to know about the Public Interest Design Institute, which is heading to Mexico. Bell, just back from a planning trip there for the first international institute location, says he's ready to take the institute overseas. A long-time fledgling movement, public interest design is now coming into its own, and it's building a critical mass both here and abroad.
Bell launched the Public Interest Design Institute in July 2011 as a way to package his ideas about designing for the public. "The problem with individual projects and people is that they come and go—we don't want this to come and go," he says. In just two years, Bell has helped oversee 13 different institute meetings nationwide. Over the course of each two-day institute, participants—ranging from architects to students to urban designers—learn about public interest design through national and international case studies, including hospitals, schools, and parks that have been developed using the Social Economic Environmental Design (SEED) framework. The architects or designers behind the projects present them to attendees, who also get to test-drive the SEED Evaluator, a tool used to define goals for projects seeking SEED certification. Bell is the SEED Network's co-founder.
"For 10 years we were hosting these conferences and people would come and see cool work, but we never defined the parameters of what made these cool practices," Bell says. "So we realized we had to define it to ourselves in order to explain it to the public. Now we can say, 'These are the five principles that these projects being presented have in common.' "
Those five principles, as defined by SEED's mission, are organized around the idea of community. They include advocating for those with a limited voice, being inclusive and engaging stakeholders, and designing to help conserve resources. (The full list can be found on the SEED websiteweaetxdyvaydzcwq.)
Rachael Stamps, a senior at Metropolitan State University in Denver—where one of the most recent U.S. institutes was held in April—used the five principles to better focus her work at a Kenyan orphanage. Stamps first started helping with the orphanage a few years ago after hearing about it through her church. Working with other volunteers, she was able to raise $30,000, which the orphanage put toward starting a chicken farm. When Stamps flew to Kenya to witness the project first-hand, though, she saw how the farm was much more than the staff could handle.
"We'd inadvertently created a lot of work for a small staff," she says. "I immediately saw all these things that were wrong."
The idea behind the chicken project was to make the orphanage financially self-sustaining. But tending to 1,500 chickens in a coop on the outskirts of the orphanage was taking staff away from their duties with the children. After studying the situation, Stamps returned to Denver and met with Metro State professor Lisa Abendroth, the other co-founder of the SEED Network. Under Abendroth's guidance, Stamps decided to scale down the project. Realizing that they didn't need nearly as many chickens to provide a revenue stream for the orphanage, Stamps and the team sold off the chickens and repurposed the two-story concrete building. Instead of housing for chickens, the children and staff moved in to the building, allowing them to save exponentially on rent.
Now Stamps is planning designing-thinking workshops for the children and staff, which she will run on her trip to Kenya later this year after graduating from Metro State. In the workshops, they will talk through what went wrong with the chicken project and how they can solve those issues in the future. Eventually, Stamps says, the kids will design a new chicken coop that they will manage—but it will be a lot smaller this time around. If all goes well, Stamps says, this project will turn into a full-time job.
Unlike for Stamps, the idea of designing in the public interest wasn't mentioned even once while Bell was in school, he says. But it's a lot easier for people working in the field today than it was just 10 years ago. "I'm not saying it's easy, but it's getting easier," Bell says. "This is a career. We want people to see that there are jobs." With Abendroth's help, he says he's committed to training 800 people per year starting in 2014. The next institute will be held in Atlanta in July.
Bell is not building a public-interest design network in a vacuum. Other organizations such as Architecture for Humanity and Architects Without Borders are doing similar work in the public realm. And individuals such as John Cary, the author of the blog publicinterestdesign.org, and Michael Murphy of MASS Design in Boston—who presented at the institute in Denver—are spurring growth in the field.
These efforts, Bell says, are working. It's not just large firms winning big in design competitions anymore. Professionals are starting to recognize public design as part of the core practice—not just fringe work. And, he adds, public interest design doesn't have to be resource-depleting pro-bono work—it can be part of a firm's revenue stream. "Maybe what we had before was just a bad definition of architecture?" he muses. "When you expand the definition, there are a lot of people who are doing public interest design."

Dear teachers,
I am developing a diagnostic tool (in the form of a survey/questionnaire) that will be used to evaluate candidates for TOFL jobs.
I want questions, problems and scenarious that the applicant will be confronted with to concentrated around "key methodology areas".
What these areas are is an open question. So far I have identified four (with sub-categories below):
1. Teaching process
- Presentation and instruction
- Practice activities
- Error correction and assessment
2. Classroom management
- Behaviour control
- Classroom interaction
- Lesson planning
3. Course content
- Use of materials/teaching aids
- Moderation
4. Learner differences
- Learner autonomy
- L-centered approach
I would be very grateful if you could contribute If you believe that I have omitted any important key methodology competence area.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Toughness and accountability are two main characters of a good coach. Anthony Medina '12 has a goal of becoming a Division 1 head coach and is not going to let anyone stop him from succeeding, not even himself.
Medina, a University of St. Thomas graduate in English and former power forward for the men's basketball team, hit the ground running creating and piloting Blue Cure basketball for his Amateur Athletic Union basketball teams. The Blue Cure Foundation is an organization that strives to promote awareness about prostate cancer and encourage prevention through diet and lifestyle habits.
"It's a good time to coach kids, and Blue Cure basketball is the perfect avenue," Medina said. "When I was picking the team name, I wanted the kids to wear something that sends a message and represents something powerful. I had no clue it was going to be this big. I thought it was just basketball, but it is a cause that people really connect with."
With the blessing of Gabe Canales '99, UST alumnus and founder of the Blue Cure Foundation, Medina's coaching ambitions started a wave of cancer awareness among young men and their parents. Blue Cure basketball has six teams, ages 11-17. Medina coaches the 17-and-under team and has AAU tournaments throughout the summer.
"I get anxious about coaching," Medina said. "Win or lose, I still get nervous about the game, but I love working with players, being in a gym and working with a team."
Playing basketball since he was five, Medina played in YMCA leagues, in El Paso where he grew up before moving to the Woodlands when he was 10, and even stopped drinking soda as a child to be a better player. He was a self-proclaimed troublemaker as a kid, but always indulged himself in basketball to escape.
"Basketball has shaped me in so many ways," Medina said. "Everything I do revolves around it. I changed my life for basketball."
When he graduated from high school, Medina worked construction and was a waiter, but realized he needed more. He decided to attend college at Cedar Valley College in Dallas and later transferred to UST in 2009.
"I realized what I was capable of achieving and stopped giving myself excuses," Medina said. "My mom didn't pressure me because she wanted me to find my path and, I'm so glad it led me to St. Thomas."
Medina was a student-athlete dedicated to performing well. As Head Coach and Athletic Director Todd Smith's first recruit, Medina helped lead the way for establishing mental toughness and a strong defensive presence on the court. He also maintained an A-B average.
"Constantly doing something didn't leave me much time to goof off," Medina said. "I loved the pressure of school and keeping up my routine. I wasn't sure if I could do it at first, and now I'm actually going to miss it."
Coach Smith had a big impact on Medina's development as a player and a man.
"He was a mentor to me," Medina said. "He's the image of what I want to be when I get older. Seeing him as a coach and a father has been such an inspiration to me."
Dr. Michele Simms, associate professor of management and marketing and Director and Cullen Trust Endowed Chair Center for Business Ethics, also enlightened Medina about human interactions and personality types through group projects.
"She's incredible," Medina said. "She was always there just to talk when I needed it. I will definitely stay in touch with her."
Medina cherishes the tools that UST gave him to be a successful, driven individual.
"St. Thomas was the perfect choice," Medina said. "This experience could not have been better, and it feels so good to be able to take pride in where I went to school."
Medina recently finished coaching youth players at a camp at Duke University with Coach Mike Krzyzewski, the winningest coach in Division 1 basketball history. In the fall, he will be working as a graduate assistant at Missouri Western State University under Head Coach Tom Smith, father of UST Coach Smith.

Oops .. part of review is missing. Page 4 ends...
"Since the EOS 450D is significantly mo" & there's no conclusion!
Cliff .. was the camera so good that you were actually lost for words? ;)
Rgds Paul
P.S. Still chuffed with my FinePix S9600 bought as a direct result of your 10/10 review!
Not sure what happened there, but a chunk of text seemed to have evaporated into cyberspace somehow. Don't panic though, it's back now.
Glad to hear you're enjoying your S9600. Some people though I was stupid to give it 10/10 like that, but I've received dozens of emails from readers just like yourself who have bought one and are delighted with it. Ah, the sweet taste of vindication :)
Blimey, the small Devon town of Sidmouth has certainly gone very Mediterranean since my last visit!! Wrong picture? ...or caption? ;)
I think it's in jest...
The seafront shot is actually the harbour at Monte Carlo, in case you were wondering. I was over there last week for a press event.
Hmmm... very strange review. No ISO test because of card fail =) That test could be at someone's personal homepage, not at TR ! Also that harbor shot - it's too blurry ! I have much better shots even with kit lens.
P.S. Sad to see reviews like this one...
''That test could be at someone's personal homepage, not at TR ! ''
Huh? What does that mean?
''Sad to see reviews like this one...''
You don't agree? You're sad for Canon? If you're going to comment, at least qualify your statements.
Although a good review - it does have a 'rushed' feel to it.
That said I got my 450D at launch and paired with L lenses it is a great tool - but I get the feeling Canon did some careful work with it's JPG's to ensure differentiation from it's higher models. As evidenced from the excellent RAW images.
Ed: I mean it's not a professional review. If I'll qualify my statements it will be new Canon review =) But at least you can look at other 450D reviews somewhere in internet. Maybe you can understand what I mean concerning test quality
I'm sorry but you can't accuse Cliff of submitting an unprofessional review and leave such statements completely unqualified. If you're referring to the loss of ISO comparison images, well, we only have products to test for a short loan period and often only get round to writing the review after the product has gone back so if the test images have failed there's nothing we can do about it.
As for the image quality comments, i've read other publications also noting that the 450D exposes the poor quality of the Canon's stock lenses and Cliff's test shots demonstrate this.
Most importantly, though, none of these issues affect Cliff's final conclusions. He still thinks it's a great camera, so what are you moaning about?
I purchased an EOS450 over 6 weeks ago and totally agree with the comments about the lens. I can't understand why Canon are producing a semi pro camera with great features and supplying such a bad lens. It particularly suffered from flare. I have now bought a 2nd hand Tamron 18-200 mm lens and there has been a huge improvement in quality. I have to say that the lack of the image stabilisation system in the older lens has not been an issue. If you buy this camera for goodness sake get a decent lens. One passing thought, although I think the Canon is an excellent camera it is still not quite up to the standard of film. I reckon that you need to spend a couple of thousand pounds to equal my 3 year Nikon F55 which only cost 𧴺 – makes you wonder if we are been duped by all these manufactures!
Hi Mark,
This is hardly surprising because film is 35mm whereas most SLRs use smaller sensors than this. Unless you get a full frame SLR (i.e. +) then you could hardly expect the quality to be the same.
By all means buy this camera Body Only and use the cash saved to put towards a decent lens. Nobody's forcing anyone to buy the Kit Lens, but for many it's a cheap all-purpose lens to get y'all started ie take pics out of the box.
Oh, how wrong you are about the kit lens. There is nothing wrong with it's sharpness at all. The only drawback is this lens' build quality but that is something you can live with considering the amount of money paid. Kit lens is strongly recommended!
I totally disagree with you about the lens kit. I have gone out and bought a 2nd hand Tamron and you can easily see the improvement in quality over the lens kit. This is particularly true with sharpness and flare. The chap in the camera shop where I bought the camera said much the same thing – they are built to cost. It is interesting that Cliff has had the same problems. I would strongly recommend that you buy just the body. However if you not too worried about quality I do have a spare lens for sale! Going back to what the Ed has said would I have to buy a camera with a full frame sensor such as the Nikon D700 to equal the quality of 35mm? If so I guess that you are looking at close to !
i'm probably going to make this my first SLR.. good idea? or not? I already had in mind to buy a tamron or sigma 18-200 lens, just to have a cheaper wide-range lens; and it seems that might just be a good idea considering the comments about the kit-lens?
is this about the best SLR i can get for that price? (about 1000 euro's, lens included (= 700 pounds i think))
PS: I also posted a forum topic about this
That argument will go around in circles I guess, but the real question...yes the Kit lens is ok, but what lens can I purchase in direct replacement to it? On a budget of course.
I purchased a 2nd hand 18-200mm Tamron lens which has improved the results. I would add one point; with my local developer I am going to produce a set of post cards of Bath for sale next years tourist season. Looking at the results of the Canon compared to my 35mm Nikon, most of the pictures that we use will be from the film camera. In terms of picture quality it far superior to the Canon. When you take into account all the associated costs of owning a digital SLR (computers, software, batteries etc) and more importantly time, I still feel that film has a lot to offer.
This is my first DSLR after using a 4Mp Olympus C-770 digicam for the last 4 years. Originally I was going to buy an Olympus E520 but after reading reviews, and trying both cameras, I went for the Canon EOS 450D with twin image stabilised lens. By chance I managed to buy on a holiday weekend when one store was offering 20% off the usual price so I feel I got a bargain. Canon were also running a promo which gave free bag, lens cloth and 2 packs of print paper on proof of purchase so I am happy!
Construction of the body does feel a little too plastic for my liking but it is lightweight which is great after spending a morning or afternoon shooting!! I am very happy with the image quality of the shots taken so far and I am delighted with the quick response of the camera. I can now capture the shots I want which I could not always do with the C-770. Low light shots are much better than the C-770 but not quite as good as recall I used to get on a Fuji F30 with "super CCD" I did have before I loaned it to my daughter and never saw it again!!
I accept that the kit lens will not be as good as the more expensive ones but for my purpose they are fine right now.
Hi, I was thinking about buying either Canon EOS 450D SLR or Nikon D3000, which do you guys think I should buy?
Thank you.
Should I buy Nikon D3000 or Nikon D3000?
I would go for Nikon D3000 although Nikon D3000 is also not bad....your choice...

Mud bog and lawn mower races ended motorsports action for the 2013 Stanislaus County Fair on Sunday. Local riders saw great success, taking home all first place finishes across five events: Stock, Super Stock, UTV, Stock Lawnmowers and Modified Lawnmowers.
The resurgence of amateur boxing in the Valley continued on Saturday with the Carlos Vieira Foundation's first annual Gloves Not Drugs boxing show at Livingston High. The 14 bout event boasted fighters from 16 different clubs who ranged in age from 9 to 28 years old.
The Stanislaus County Fair hosted the California Cowboys Professional Rodeo on Thursday as fans from all over the Valley packed into the Food Maxx Arena grandstand, welcoming local and other competitors from around the country.

Clay pigeon shooting is gradually gaining attraction here in the Central Valley and also becoming a very popular sport in the United States. Clay shooting is the art of shooting at special flying targets, known as clay pigeons or clay targets, with a shotgun.
In 2006, the hottest quarterback prospect from the Valley was Hilmar High's Nate Costa. With a combined 6,861 yards and 63 touchdowns to show for his junior and senior year efforts as a Yellowjacket, Costa was a highly coveted recruit, who garnered attention from the likes of the University of Utah and Boise State University before finally settling on the University of Oregon.
From mid-November to early January, Colin Kaepernick revived a storied franchise, energized its loyal fan base, and sent his hometown of Turlock into a frenzy of excitement and pride with his impressive play as San Francisco's starting quarterback. He gained notoriety within the league and beyond as his name became known around the country and the world.
A few weeks ago I was surprised with an invitation from Tony Merafuentes to be a guest on the panel for his 5th Dan Black Belt exam. As Master of the Merafuentes Tae Kwon Do Academy of Martial Arts in Turlock, Tony and I had spoken about his students and their accomplishments in the past. He had relayed to me the tenants of tae kwon do and I had formulated a rough understanding of the art, but even that did not prepare me for the demonstration I was slated to witness.

way to avoid the issue!the filibuster is a tool of the senate. like it or not, it exists and on rare occasions, it is used. i don't really mind if the "work" is held up. the more they do, the more we lose. it's not like they do their job anyway. where are the budgets that they are required by law to do each year? if they were doing that, we wouldn't have these other debates.QuoteI was curious what your interpretation of "his reasons" are? again, if you bother to do even a little of your own work, you would not need to ask.
I was curious what your interpretation of "his reasons" are?
absolutely. every single program that gets federal dollars, should be getting cut. they are not. every government welfare program is now called an "entitlement" and they are off limits. until we are ready to address the welfare system and the SSI and medicare system, we can't begin to solve the fiscal problems we face.
Quote from: bluegrass on March 10, 2013, 07:03:34 AM... I am anti-filibuster on all fronts... If any of us deliberately held up everybody in our work place for 12 hrs we would get fired. Then what is your position on the Union Shop and strikes? Is not a strike, a picket line, a sit down, or other work stoppage a filibuster? I think so. And what is the purpose of a strike? Is it not so that the workers can have a way to address grievances? A filibuster is nothing but a strike and the men and women conducting it are forcing the other side to reconsider and often times compromise. The compromise is not always on the subject being filibustered as was the case this time.
... I am anti-filibuster on all fronts... If any of us deliberately held up everybody in our work place for 12 hrs we would get fired.
And was this your position when Democratic lawmakers left the state rather than being forced to vote on a bill they thought unconstitutional?
That's assuming they're all equally necessary/unnecessary or wasteful.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPR -- This details their budget.
... I do not see a strike as similar to a filibuster. they just hold up a vote on something they oppose because they don't have the numbers to strike it down.
... The original point of a filibuster was to hold up the vote for long enough that some of the supporters would get tired and leave... bringing the numbers closer to failing to pass a measure....
... In a filibuster it is rare that the Senator even talks about the topic at hand... as long as they keep talking they can't hold a vote. Thurmond was known to read from a Phone Book when he filibustered....
I am truly sorry that Senator Ryan's reference to the arbitrary rule of the Queen of Hearts flew right over the heads' of some people posting here. It should have been clear to any 12 year old who has read Lewis Carrol's story about what Senator Ryan was speaking.
And no I do not mean Tea Party.
The biggest problem with the economy is not spending. It is Monetary Policy. If you don't understand that, I really fear for the direction we go from here.
Odd, isn't that the Tea Party platform?
so, you have 1/2 a dozen outlier candidates that cover the spectrum of politics, but you are basically throwing your vote away when you vote for them. if you want a 3rd party candidate that has a chance, you have to have a serious candidate running. and i'm wrong about what i just wrote....sometimes you are not throwing your vote away. sometimes you are throwing it to the very candidate you didn't want......
Kathy did you check out Gary Johnson?

They look pretty neat though which is the totally wrong reason to want a gun but I am guilty of impulse gun shopping..lol I hear they shoot pretty good but if your are looking for a range gun that is going to be a tack driver then you might want to save your money a little longer. If you do end up with it please post a range report. There is not a lot of info on these guns compared to some others.

Discussion in 'March 2008' started by Dlev59, Mar 11, 2008.
No while he WAS here. That's one point of contention even LB haters will have a hard time arguing.
I probably should have made it clear I was being sarcastic. I liked LB when he was here, I just remember him getting lots of flak on these threads for not developing the bench, pretty much the same thing that Flip is getting bashed for. I agree with your comment, though.
Yea, i missed that. I think he did great with then bench in 04, but in 05' we didn't really have a bench (Hunter, Dyess, Eldin). I guess you could argue Delfino/Darko as pieces we could use, but Darko has pretty much proved he was a bust. And even w/o one we got to the finals. It's hard to go from someone as talented as Brown in terms of pre/in game strategy to Flip. Too bad he was on the crazy side. Flip's problem isn't so much developing the bench as choosing the wrong players off the bench.
Brown certainly had his faults. His game 5 decision in the NJ series to go with Darvin Ham over Memo I think costed us that game. He had a love for small ball that as I recall frusterated us in other forums, almost benched Prince for Ham during the season, had that feud going on with Memo whenever he took a shot beyond 10 feet. Have to recall that the team was a lot younger and hungrier back in 03/04 than they are now plus we had a 3-time DPY in his prime. I think the Pistons of the last 2 years would have presented much more of a challenge for LB as motivation was never a problem 4 years ago. Its quit an old bit though.
Is LB still a Pistons coach option? Will he ever come back? he is the right person now. We have the bench, so he does not have to worry about developing it
Don't get me wrong, i know Brown had his faults. I still to this day remember him putting Prince on Duncan in Game 7. But there is no way LB would stand for any of this BS from the players, and the players wouldn't be able to get away with what they do under Flip. And LB would never i repeat NEVER keep Dixon on the floor. But your right it's old. LB's not coming back. My 2nd choice isn't leaving PORT. But at this point i'd have to say i'd even take my chance on a less experienced coach over Flip. It'll be interesting to see what happens next year.
I agree to an extent. LB did run a tighter ship but remember now the last time the Pistons were under .500 20 games or so into the season was at the start of 04/05. Also when you think about it Flip has gotten the players to buy into a whole new system which was not easy to pull off. Whether or not that system works for winning championships is debatable but he did get the players to follow his instructions. I may have to disagree here. Seemed like given a choice LB always went with the vet. Okur, Delfino and Memo are examples. LB also had a bias for players/coaches from North Carolina. I agree. After the humiliating loss to Clev I thought for sure we would be getting a new coach. Thats going to say it all. But whatif we actually win a title with Flip?
Seems like Flip will be here next year regardless. My biggest beef is that Hermann should be out on the floor reducing Tay's minutes to about 32 per game. He's one of those hungry players who could jump start the 2nd unit along with Amir. I'm one of those people who think that Flip can win it all. This is my last season of encouraging words though if Tay looks weak during the playoffs and Hermann doesn't play.........
It aint over til it's over...
No and no.
I completely feel your pain, but I would not call it typical. There are only 4 teams that have a better home record than the Pistons: Utah, Dallas, Boston, and San Antonio.

There were a total of 12 Gunners in friendly action for their countries on Wednesday night, read on for a comprehensive round up of how they fared.
Romania 1-2 Croatia
Eduardo marked his return to the national team by setting up Niko Kranjcar's 75-minute winner in their friendly against Romania. The striker, whose last appearance for Croatia came over 12 months ago, was introduced just before the hour with the scores locked at 1-1. Fifteen minutes later, the 25-year-old produced a neat pass to set up Portsmouth's Kranjcar to fire home Croatia's second.
Bacary Sagna, William Gallas, Samir Nasri
France 0-2 Argentina
Sagna and Gallas both played 90 minutes as France were deservedly beaten by Argentina at Marseille's Stade Velodrome. Samir Nasri was an unused substitute and Gael Clichy was not present in the match-day squad. Newcastle's Jonas Gutierrez opened the scoring four minutes before the interval before man of the match Lionel Messi added a second in the 83rd minute.
Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Eboue
Turkey 1-1 Ivory Coast
Toure and Eboue were both involved as Chelsea star Didier Drogba struck his first international goal for over a year to salvage a creditable draw in Turkey. Striker Gokhan Unal fired the home side ahead after only 11 minutes and should have made it two just past the half-hour. It looked as though one goal would be enough for victory but Drogba swooped in second-half stoppage time to equalise.
Robin van Persie
Tunisia 1-1 Holland
Van Persie played the first half of Holland's lacklustre draw in Tunisia. The contest remained goalless until the 62nd minute when Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, on at half time, converted Rafael van der Vaart's free-kick. However, the lead would only last four minutes as Jamelle Saihi produced a superb 25-yard strike to restore parity.
Aaron Ramsey, Lukasz Fabianski
Wales 0-1 Poland
Fabianski and Ramsey both played 45 minutes of Poland's victory at the Millenium Stadium. The goalkeeper was replaced at half-time by Artur Boruc while the young midfielder was introduced at half time for West Ham starlet Jack Collison. Another substitute, Roger Guerreiro, finally broke the deadlock nine minutes from time to secure Poland's win.
Nicklas Bendtner
Greece 1-1 Denmark
Bendtner was included in the Denmark squad that was held to a draw by former European champions Greece. After a goalless first half, Jonas Borring slid the visitors ahead after 49 minutes. But midway through the second half, new Portsmouth marksman Fanis Gekas stabbed home his 13th international goal to level the scores.
Johan Djourou
Switzerland 1-1 Bulgaria
Johan Djourou was involved as Switzerland were held to a home draw by Bulgaria. The visitors took a deserved lead shortly after the half- hour mark when Ivelin Popov slammed an effort past Marco Woelfli. Dimitar Berbatov should have made it two from close range moments later before Benjamin Huggel equalised in first-half stoppage time.

Arsène Wenger got exactly what he wanted from Arsenal's first pre-season friendly - a good workout and a clean bill of health.
The tourists ended the first leg of their Asia trip with a 4-0 win over a Malaysia XI in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday as Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott, Carlos Vela and Tomas Rosicky all found the net in front of a crowd approaching 70,000.
Wenger was delighted with the result but even happier when he assessed his squad's fitness after the match.
"We have no injuries and that is the most important thing," the manager told Arsenal Player. "In the early stages of preparations for the new season it is important that you do not lose players through injury.
"It was a good sweat because it was quite hot. Overall, what is important for us is to get our team play back and, on that front, it was quite good. Physically, we are not ready but we were quite sharp for a team playing their first game."
The full interview with Wenger is now available on Arsenal Player. He discusses: the positives from the first pre-season friendly, the performances of Carl Jenkinson and Ryo Miyaichi, the fans in Malaysia and the next leg of the tour in China.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- Indiana's smoking ban awaits only the governor's signature before it takes effect July 1, prohibiting smoking in most public spaces and workplaces. However, bars and taverns will be exempt.
Indiana's House of Representatives passed the bill 60-33 on March 8; the Senate approved it the following day in a 28-22 vote. Gov. Mitch Daniels, a Republican, has long favored a smoking ban.
Unlike most laws that prohibit smoking in public venues and workplaces in other states, Indiana's does not apply to bars or taverns that are not located in restaurants and do not employ anyone younger than 18.
Nonprofit private clubs -- fraternal and veterans organizations, for instance -- may permit smoking in separate rooms for patrons ages 18 and up, if an organization approves it.
More than half of all U.S. citizens now live in jurisdictions that have banned smoking in public places. According to a 2011 Gallup poll, 59% of Americans support smoking bans. | SEE STORY

If any one has links to good web pages, videos, powerpoints etc. on 510st costuming or cosplay in general I really could use the advice ASAP.
Or, if any TDH guys have some good reference pages which require literacy skills or encourage it I would really be greatful.

I'm sure these items are spread out in several threads all over this board but I thought this would be more simple.
Thanks in advance!

Giants beat Reds in 10th, cut NLDS deficit to 2-1
CINCINNATI (AP) - Third baseman Scott Rolen's error with two outs in the 10th inning gave San Francisco the go-ahead run, and the Giants edged the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 Tuesday night to cut their NL playoff deficit to 2-1.
The Giants avoided a division series sweep when Rolen, an eight-time Gold Glove winner, bobbled Joaquin Arias' short-hop grounder and threw late to first.
San Francisco was held hitless into the sixth by Homer Bailey, managed only three hits overall and struck out 16 times.
But the Giants got two hits in the 10th and were helped by a passed ball.
Left-hander Barry Zito will start Game 4 on Wednesday for the Giants. The Reds have to decide whether to try ace Johnny Cueto, forced out of the opener with spasms in his back and side.

All my hunting is mainly done by jump shooting on the tidal mud flats, but I get to do a little decoying.
If you are in the area give me a call I onll have one duck hunting partner, He is my Black lab, Cooper. I am sure that I will be sending out pictures of him some day....

'The system is called the Playing-Card Five. It could also be called a Dice Five because it alludes to the positioning of the five defensive players — like the spots on a playing card. But the playing card analogy is a bit more apt because if you consider the card laid horizontally, it makes a flatter pattern, and that's what the coaches like.'

|General Technical Chat This section is for technical discussions relating to general maintenance, electrical issues, engine trouble, and recalls.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you! Indeed relays seem to play an important role in my Ford Focus 2005 ZXW cold start problem. Switching around R1 (ignition relay) with next to it R3 (cooling fun high speed) resolved the problem (or hitting the fuse box during starter cranking the engine). At first, I fought R1 was bad, but after $1 substitution relay from 2006 Ford from KennyUpull junk yard that did not resolve it, I swapped them again and it worked. The quality of those relays is a mystery :)
The previous owner was doing "press a gas pedal and wait 2 minutes + dance around" routine to start it.
Not sure which one is "power hold relay" though.
I am going to revive a very old thread. My 07 with the 5-speed does the same thing. At least with the OP his is clockwork, mine is not.
I was told, the fuel pump is not priming properly. I was also told to turn the key and wait 5 seconds, turn it off, repeat and it should work.
First, IMHO and I am not a mechanic that theory is false it does not work. Secondly, If the fuel pump is not priming properly than it should always happen during cold weather starts.
For example, and I paid close attention today. My Focus was parked on Friday at 3PM. It sat until Sunday at 7:30AM.
When I turned the key, without this priming theory.She fired up without so much as a hiccup. Now where is the fuel after sitting idle for almost 48 hours? Certainly not in the fuel pump, yet she started right up.
So, I drive 1 mile up the road. The car is fully warmed up, I shut it off, for about 10 minutes.
She again starts right up. So, my next destination is 10 miles away. When I get there, the car is literally off for less than 30 seconds.
What happens, the long crank before she starts. Now the fuel pump has long been primed, so again IMHO the long cranks should not occur.
That tells me there is something going on with the computer in some of the earlier Focus's.
If the fuel pump was a certainty, I would spend the 500 plus and replace it. Only because I am OCD when it comes to my cars. From looking at this thread, I can see the problem remains a mystery.
I bought a used ZXW wagon with 5-Spd manual and 2.0 Duratec with 133,000Km on it in March, 2011. I had the same hard starting problem you guys have mentioned and have downloaded the TSB from Ford but didn't want to pay Ford for flashing my ECU, so I was willing to 'live with it' until I get some time to do some 'real' troubleshooting. Since then my alternator went when I was out of town and had to get it replaced for $500, but that's another story. On certain occasions when accelerating, my gas pedal sticks at the upper end of travel (idle position) and gets worse if I just let off the gas and it pedal just 'slams' up. It was to the point that it was dangerous not being able to push the gas pedal down smoothly because I had to overcome the initial sticking.
Anyways, I brought my car down to my buddy's garage who has all the tools I needed to troubleshoot this. I removed the accelerator cable linkage from the Throttle Body (TB) but it was free of any sticking. Next I removed the intake hose to the TB and moved the butterfly plate back and forth to discover that it was sticking. I twisted it to max throttle (with the engine turned off), let it go and it really got stuck in the closed position. There was so much gum around the throttle plate and the housing and I knew that this was the cause of my sticky throttle. So I sprayed the sh!t out of the throttle body with carburetor cleaner and tested it again - no more sticky throttle to this day. Lo-and-behold, this cured my hard start at the same time. I haven't had any more problems with hard starting since I did this at the end of April, 2011. And to think I may have paid Ford to flash my ECU which may not have fixed the problem. Easy to fix and maintain - takes less than 15 minutes, including washing my hands after-wards.
This worked for me and it should be done every now and then to maintain a clean throttle body.
I hope this helps.
|abilath - Thanks for posting the information about the IAC valve. I really hope it works. Please let us know how it goes. I've been having the same issues with my Car.
Okay. I spoke with a mechanic friend (non-Ford) this weekend and found that the only thing that he could think of that could cause this problem is an open, or stuck, IAC valve. The theory is that if the engine was still cold when it was last turned off, the IAC valve would still open to keep the idle high. Then, the next time the car is started, the valve is either not told to close or is stuck open and would result in a difficult start to an incomplete choke. This theory sounded reasonable to me (particularly since another user in these groups seemed to have solved his problem when the dealer replaced the IAC valve -among other things). Does this explanation sound feasible to anyone? Either way, I'm going to attempt to find an aftermarket IAC valve (or perhaps an '05 *automatic* version) this week. I'll let you know how it goes.
P.s. Any thoughts would be more than welcome.
I made a mental effort to completely avoid the accelerator as you suggested, but still had intermittent hard start issues.
Thanks for the suggestion,
So try Bubba's idea first (nothing to loose) and if it gets worse try keeping your feet away from the gas until you've started your car.
If either makes a difference (good or bad) then please share in a reply post!
|Thanks for the Info, i'll have to take that up to the dealership this weekend and talk to them about it. One day they'll figure it out.

Hi Poka Bee;I tried our local library. No luck. I ty them again though. The pre-build sheds are two much dough for us to justify. We'll keep looking around. Best wishes, Winenutguy
We are looking to do something on the nicer side to complement our yard.
Brain,Working on a coop here too. We're planning on getting Rhode Island Reds, would you recommend that larger size next box for them as well? I saw others that were the 12 x 12 size, so was planning on building mine based of of those measurements. Thanks!

Discussion in '2007 Playoffs' started by max, Jun 1, 2007.
Third, P.O.P. For the first time all series in Game 5, the Pistons figured out how to play a little offense. They forgot down the stretch and turned the ball over enough to allow the Cavs back in the game, but I'm hoping they build on their offensive success from Game 5 in Game 6. The Cavs, on the other hand, didn't really have any offensive success outside of Lebron's other-worldly night. If he doesn't have it tonight, will his teammates be able to step up after getting used to watching him carry them? It will be interesting to watch and see. Thankfully this is a weekend game so I can watch at my house (Sunday morning in Tokyo). I missed most of the end of regulation and both overtimes of Game 5 when my boss walked into my office (so I couldn't pay attention to the broadcast). No interruptions this morning, so I'm hoping to watch 48 minutes of solid Piston basketball and a season-extending win.
Rip Hamilton's got to play like an MVP tonight. Just in case he doesn't, though, here's something for the folks with Lebowski avatars to work with.
Give me defence, defence to make'em pay to make'em think twice. Go Pistons.
Got my beer in hand. If we keep playing hard and leave everything on the floor I like our chances.
well, Cavs' role players playing very well in the first quarter. Can't say the same for the Pistons at this point --- nothing from the bench in the 1st quarter, and Nazr in the game for a worthless two minutes. 36 minutes left to turn it around.
Delay b/w first and second quarter probably ended up helping the Pistons...at least the Pistons played better in the second quarter. Cavs shouldn't even be tied at this point were it not for the free throw parade at the end of the second quarter. Pistons need to step up and get defensive rebounds in the second half. CWebb and Sheed with 5 total rebounds, and Big Z was all over the boards after CWebb tried to play better defense on the P&R. I'd like to see Tay get it going on offense early in the second half, and for Rip to continue his roll (which really opened up the lane for CWebb to get a few chances as well). Defense has played Lebron pretty well --- hopefully his teammates do not replicate their first quarter performance, and Lebron has a difficult time getting going in the second half. I'm sure he's going to force the issue as much as possible (including taking three steps to the basket as often as the refs will allow). Pistons started turning it around in the second quarter...time to win the next 24 minutes.
Utter collapse in the 4th quarter...and Sheed gets tossed after fouling out. I am ASHAMED of this team. No other word for what I feel about this bunch.
Yup. It's over.
First, they are too arrogant for their own good. Second, they should have known with the ref crew that this was going this way. Third, Stern wanted it this way.
No more Tay avatar for me either, after he turned in a grand total of ONE good quarter in this ENTIRE series. He was massively, completely, totally outplayed by Daniel F'ing Gibson. Then again, so was almost everyone else on the Pistons.
Flip Saunders basically said he could care less about the game, he was not going to play Maxiell. Who needs a bench. Sure, he played Flip Murray and Hunter, to our total detriment. But no functional bench. No bench with a point guard to run it. Tonight was a culmination of a season with the most disjointed, unorganized, irregular, never know who was going to play, bench ever. And we got to watch Dyess brick outside jumpers all night long. To the good, at least Flip played Dale Davis some. I wonder who our next coach will be. As far as I know, Karl is safe for the moment in Denver, so at least that nightmare can't happen. And Bird took another total loser off the market for us. At least Dumars can't make that bad a choice. Oh the game. No defense. Thats right, we did not use Maxiell in the game except for a couple of minutes to end the half, and that only due to some foul trouble. Just like last time Maxiell got a lot of minutes in a game, he sits the next one out. Saunders dare not let Maxiell get into any kind of rythm. Note, Maxiell made most of his free throws the last couple of games, there was no more excuse. Tonight, Cleveland had its choice of open shooters most times down. Gibson came up huge for them. Everyone please note, Gibson is a rookie. You know, one of those type of players not allowed to play, at all, for the Pistons. If he was on our team, he would be doing what Blalock is doing, watching in street clothes. Ok, Dumars has one more chance. Three straight coaches who would not play rookies. And from what I hear, the one before that wanted to play some young guys, but Dumars refused the request. Still, I say give him one more chance. If he brings in yet another loser who won't develop young players, he needs to be booted to the curb. Rip hit some shots. Webber and Sheed scored some. CB did not shoot much. Tay could not hit anything. Delfino got 4 minutes. Anyone notice the insult at the end there-having him report into the game. Total complete lack of class on Saunders part. Our bench gave us virtually nothing. The highlight of the bench scoring was that triple by Hunter, who thankfully just played his last game as a Piston. I am pretty sure Webber is gone too, and that will certainly help our D next year. Yes, the refs were horrible, and all for Cleveland tonight. The pushout called against Tay was about the worst call ever. I am sure everyone will be listing them, but hey, you can overcome some bad calls. If you have a coach. We did not have one tonight. I'm done posting for a while, going to give it a break. See you all in a couple of months.
Well the game was lost as we know in the 4th.. Flip sent Hunter and Murray out there to start the 4th and left Gibson open to hit 2 quick threes. Tay was the missing man in the series. Tay not only tanked it in 5 out of 6 games, but allowed he allowed Boobie to hit the rest of his threes in the 4th. Boobie outscored the Pistons in the 4th by himself. CWebb tried in the last two games but we all knew that this was Cavs series to lose based on how the first five games played out.
I'd like to file a complaint. ... and, not that it matters, but both teams made 28 baskets. It just didn't feel like it.
Good LeeCap man This series was loss on arrogance, bad coaching, sterns refs and the Pistons game five defensive collapse. We knew the Cavs would win game six. We should have won game 5 in regulation........They were hungrier and could hit the shots when needed. Flip is to soft and Joe needs to replace him. Mike Brown was in his players face and Flip goes out to talk to his assistants during his time outs.
Well that was a lot of fun, only NOT! Why were we so outcoached in this series? I still believe in my heart of hearts the Pistons are a better team. Even with Sheed having a meltdown the game was already lost since the Pistons had nothing to counterpunch with. I'm just hoping Delfino asks for a trade because it's obvious there is no role on this team as long as Flip Saunders is the coach. Maxiell is just so underutilized and when you don't cultivate your best resources (i.e. Amir Johnson) it's going to come back and bite you in the behind. Joe Dumars has to do some soul searching here and I think he can retool and get the Pistons back to a high level of playing but until there is a new coach, you can forget a championship ring. I just can't see Bill Davidson a notoriously frugal owner shelling out bucks to pay off Saunders on his remaining contract and what coach would we even sign to replace him? What a pathetic showing for an all-important 6th game of the ECF. Just a note that Delfino didn't even get into the game sitting by the scorer's table with 2 minutes plus. So that might be the last time we see him in a Piston's uniform. He really looked unhappy on the bench the last few games and I don't blame him.
Delfino may have looked unhappy on the bench, but he also played like crap whenever he got in the game. If he wants to go somewhere else at this point, then good luck to him, but I won't lose any sleep over it.
fourth.... oh I don't know... this is so much crap
why does it always come down to one play? Sheed leaves Horry open. Chauncey takes a three to end the game when we are tied in game 5. This team should have been up 3-2.
yeah I didn't see any growth in Delfino this season. Dump him along with Hunter, Davis, Dupree, Murray and Nazr. The bench hasn't been right since the 04.....

Forwarding Address
I moved my office yesterday. As fate would have it, the final piece of mail I received at my old address was a notice from Medicare informing me that I needed to update them if there were any changes in my practice, for example, a change of address. It told me where to go (on the internet, that is).
Okay, so in case you're wondering, Medicare has 221 downloadable forms on their website.
If I understand the directions right (and do feel free to help me out here) CMS-8551 is the form for me:
Additional Information Physicians can apply for enrollment in the Medicare Program or make a change in their enrollment information using either: 1. Have a National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES) User ID and password to use Internet-based PECOS. • For security reasons, passwords should be changed periodically, at least once a year. • For information on how to change a password, go to the NPPES Application Help page and select the "Reset Password Page" on the NPPES Application Help page. 2. Go to PECOS to complete, review, and submit the electronic enrollment application via PECOS. 3. Print, sign, and date the two-page Certification Statement and mail it with all supporting paper documentation to the Medicare contractor within seven days of the electronic submission. NOTE: A Medicare contractor will not process an Internet enrollment application without the signed and dated two-page Certification Statement and the required supporting documentation. In addition, the effective date of filing an enrollment application is the date the Medicare contractor receives the signed two-page Certification Statement that is associated with the Internet submission. Physicians who are enrolled in the Medicare Program, but have not submitted the CMS-855I since 2003, are required to submit a Medicare enrollment application (i.e., Internet-based PECOS or the CMS-855I) as an initial application when reporting a change for the first time. If a physician has any questions about reporting a change, the physician should contact his or her designated Medicare contractor in advance of submitting the CMS-855I.
(Note, I deleted the Medicare web addresses from the body of the text I copied)
Okay, so 221 downloadable forms, and the form for change of address is the CMS-8551. No prob, I'm on it. PECOS. What are PECOS? I know what pesos are, but PECOS? So form CMS-8551, downloaded for my change of address is 27 pages long. What would it take to get Medicare to have 222 downloadable forms, with the 222nd form being a one-page change of address form.

Vermont is known for brilliant fall foliage, snow-covered slopes and cow-dotted pastures, but there's more to the Green Mountain State than bucolic beauty. Genealogy resources, for example, areas thick as its pine forests. But if you're hoping to find your family here, you'll need a healthy respect for the role of geography and climate in state history. Harsh winters and high elevations discouraged people from moving in. Even today, traversing the second-least-populous state from its Canadian border to the southern foothills involves dodging mountains. Of course, you'll want to see the Green Mountain State's loveliness in person-but with our research tips, you won't have to scale mountains to climb your Vermont family tree.

I emailed the forecast late last night to Nick Murray, who responded "Too late to back out now." OK, then.
I'd already bailed on a Montauk trip this week, and got burned by it. Stripers still eat during Small Craft Advisories.
You go on days like today, you figure you are owed something. But the fish don't know shit about Karma or paying dues or risk-reward. They're either there or not. They were not.
But Mr. Murray caught a fluke.

There are some pictures of mine here http://community.webshots.com/album/37514531dvcixJ
I carved it out of a solid piece of styrofoam and added other small pieces and used paper mache.
Heres mine, I made it a couple years ago and I was borrowing a friend's, until I decided to do some work on my old one and make it presentable. I'm hoping to pick up some sintra sometime soon to make it much better.
I just realized I never posted to this. You can see mine at my website. www.azeem2000.com
Here's mine. Six months, 9lbs 9 0z, and a whole lotta sanding. Hey, look! My toes!
The rest of my pack is here: http://imageevent.com/mojoday/phatsfett
The truster balls are roller hockey balls. Just the right size. I lined the inside with Bondo so they would be less "squishy". The "ribbed" part is cut sintra. I made a few long pieces, tappered the bottom, then cut them out. I had enough to throw out the ones that didn't look right. For the ribs on the tank, I made another long piece, heated it up, and curved it around the tank.
Here's my "MOSTLY" scratch built jet pack:
http://www.501neg.com/images/jet pack.jpg
The entire rocket assembly is home-made using a kid's plastic cup cover, styrene, foam, paper mache and pvc, the body is a vacuuformed piece, the thrusters are from G.A., the side tanks are vacuuformed, the tops and bottoms of the tanks are pieces of those small snack containers, the beacon is a mini-mag-lite with a hairspray cover on top and the bolt is just a bolt. I like it! ;)
I just bought a resin rocket to replace the entire home-made one.
Here's the current state of my scratchbuilt "stubby"...
courtesy of LisaFett's patterns!
Attachment 45973
Of course here is mine... 1 week and 5lbs later...totally scratch-built. Actually, it seemed the easiest part to do for me since it didnt take any bending or anything with the sintra. However, I couldnt have done it without all the info others have posted already who have pioneered this area.
Thanks guys, I used spray paint cans on the sides and just built box-like walls out of sintra in all the right areas... The nose cones are spinners (radio control airplane nose cones from a hobby shop.

http://www.eastmanonline.com/forumim...t pack_top.jpg
Here is my scratchbuilt pack. Its from a mold, but I built the mold so that still qualifies right?
The pictures are at http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/mommydawn....src=ph&.view=
This is my newest jet pack- I thought everyone would like to see it. I made this mold a while ago and so far have only gotten a few pulls from it- mainly for the Fett costumes I built for Disney/MGM Studios (look for it at the 2003 Star Wars Weekends event). This is my copy of the pack. The body is vacuum-formed styrene and the details are resin as usual (rocket, nozzles, cylinder caps, etc.). I have also done more detailed resin parts for the piano keys instead of leaving them as part of the vacu-form mold.
To make the vacuform mold, I started with a scan of the photo from the SW Visual Dictionary. I drew the plans in CorelDraw on top of the scanned picture and printed them out full size. (some other pics from MOM, etc. were also used for reference) The dimensions accounted for the thickness of the plastic when pulled over the mold. The form was built from Sintra plastic and PVC and then filled with foam to reinforce it. To get a complete jet pack body, I have to do 3 pulls- front, back, and top. I was able to get about 5 full sets of pulls before the plastic started to warp and bend from the heat. If I make any more copies, this mold will have to be replaced with a more sturdy one made of plaster or similar material.
I am much happier with the overall shape of this one compared to my previous versions- I think I have gotten pretty darn close to the real deal. The shape of the body works well for the Boba or Jango versions- (I am hoping to do a stubby Jango pack soon too).
I tried a different paint technique this time. I primed as usually, then did several good coats of Plasti-Coat Burnished Silver automotive spray paint. After letting that dry thoroughly for several days, I painted the whole pack with one good coat of Krylon Sage Satin (with black and red details, etc). After letting that coat dry for several days, I began lightly sanding with fine sandpaper until the silver showed through. The finished result is very realistic, especially in person.

fpoato thats great ... :thumbsup ... great job :)
and your welcome ... (pics related :D)
ok i need to put the pics of mi JP :D you can see more on http://www.geocities.com/s_collao

whoo hoo...I just finished this this morning. Had to put it up!
It's not very accurate I know but heck...it's a decent start.
now i finally have something to contribute.these pics are pretty old by now.its mostly 1/16" strene except for the thruster assembly,side tanks and main tank.at this point its all painted minus wheathering and needs the back to be closed.
Here (finally) is a picture of my finshed pack on the Disney Jango:
And in case you missed it, the in-progress pics:
**UPDATE** 10/11** Re-did the rocket - Im much happier with it - although its a *@$%*@ PITA!!! (still no fins)
This is my scratch built Jango pack courtesy of Lisa Fetts pattern and Mirax (who mailed said pattern to me).
Im pretty happy with it - except for the rocket. Im in the process of re-doing the rocket and making it out of the gopher poison container and the auto funnel ala BradleyFett's site. Also great thanks to VashdStampede for the sweet decals I won in the cargo hold contest a month back!!!!!! Thanks dude - the stickers rock!
Hopefully itll make it look a bit better!
And the site:
Take care,
Sean ;)
ok here's mine.....made from absolutely YOU NAME IT, everything from Pringles containers to a BBQ sauce bottle. It's all there at http://photos.yahoo.com/darthbish
There's also my scratchbuilt gauntlets and belt there too
Just figured that I'd post a few pics of my MB jet pack complete now with the aluminum beacon.
I love it!
Hi all.
This is my jet pack that I am currently working on. And it weighs less than 3 pounds.
EDIT: Added a link instead :)
just finished my scratchbuilt jp, i used templates supplied by ukscout (cheers neil :D) its not movie accurate by any means but it will do me until i can afford a fg pack.Just need to add a beacon and stabaliser and i'll be sorted.
Here's mine in its current state:
I used a piece of 4" PVC for the main tube screwed to a piece of sintra. 3 soda cans make up each tank on the sides. The outer shell was made from 2 "For Sale" signs and some thinner styrene I bought at the hobby shop. I used styrene house-siding foam to build up areas and covered it with styrene sheets. This foam was also ribbed inside to make the flare in the back. Lot's of bondo and sanding have gotten me this far...
Rocket Detail
The grapples are aluminum, but everything else is plastic or PVC. I used PVC reducers to join the rocket to the pack. The end of the rocket is a 3"to 1" reducer and the top of the pack is a 3" to 2" reducer. That way the rocket is a tension fit and so it is removable. Tip is the old "resin pull of a drinking fountain paper cup".
My beacon is a mag light and hair spray cap. It slips down in a hole in the pack, and all I have to do is turn it to make the light come on. The tops of the soda cans were some stick-on, push-on lights I got at Dollar tree cut to fit. Piano keys are hand cut (ouch my thumb!) pieces of sintra.
Powerade caps for the bottom of the soda cans.
Comments and questions welcome.
Okay guys and gals,
Just pics of your pack and any other information you'd like to provide (i.e. paints used, tips, methods, materials, etc.)
Let's try to keep this thread free from all the "attaboy" posts, ok?

This was originally Journeyman Protector's ESB jet pack - but I believe it began life as one of chaucer44 's kits. It came to me ESB green and I repainted it for ROTJ.
For the yellow-orange, I used yellow with a mist of rust primer. Instead of pure white, I used off-white. The blue is royal blue misted with gloss black. Red is Rustoleum (American Accents) Claret Wine (same color used on gauntlets) I primered black under the red for a darker burgundy. Nozzels are off-white, misted black..
I weathered everything with several different colors of craft paint (olive, black, mustard, light-gray, rust) and Testors silver, model paint.
It needs some construction finishing on the back, but it's wearable right now. This is the final piece of my outfit... now, I'm just waiting for that harness diagram. I'm tempted to just get a cheap backpack and rip off the straps. Anyway, here are the pics - whaddya think?:

2 things I love about this most, 1 the markings are actually painted on over some decal. and 2 all the extras screw in so I can take it apart easly enough for travel.
