Inevitably, I think all of us get to a point where we know which of those customizations are interesting/useful to us and which ones we can just pass on. When a user settles down on a number of updates/changes that will remain more or less the same for a given distro, that's when automation of such customization task makes sense and comes in handy.
WARNING: I created this script to make my life easier. Although I have not seen any during my testing, it may contain bugs, so use it at your own risk!
My goal was to put together a simple script that allowed me to easily get any new Ubuntu installation up to speed, installing the applications I like and removing those I don't really care about. Another concept I was interested in was to create a script that felt more like an application with a (somewhat) proper GUI interface. The idea was to create something that would not scare unexperienced users away.
The way I see it, the easiest and most convenient approach would be to create a launcher under Main menu > System > Administration, as shown below.
Click on image to enlarge
To achieve this, simply go to Main Menu > System > Preferences and open the Main Menu editor. Once the application is open, add a new item to the Administration menu, as shown below:
Click on image to enlarge
Once run, the script starts with a welcome message, indicating that admin privileges are required and that the list of applications to be installed/uninstalled should be modified before moving forward.
Click on image to enlarge
The script will first update sources, just to be sure all repositories and software available are taken into account.
Click on image to enlarge
The flow of the script completes the uninstallation tasks first, then proceeds to installation.
In order to modify the script so it installs/uninstalls the applications that suit your needs, simply open the
CustUbuntu.sh file and access the section displayed below:
# Customize the script to your liking #************************************ ######################################################## # ENTER PACKAGES TO BE UNINSTALLED BELOW # ######################################################## # IMPORTANT!: Package names must be correct and separated by a blank space Uninstall=(tomboy shotwell empathy gwibber pitivi rhythmbox f-spot mplayer gnome-mplayer evolution) ######################################################## # ENTER PACKAGES TO BE INSTALLED BELOW # ######################################################## # IMPORTANT!: Package name must be available in the current repositories. Package names must be separated by a blank space Install=(gimp gimp-plugin-registry chromium-browser vlc audacious pidgin geany gtk-recordMyDesktop unrar thunderbird)You probably noticed there are two (array) variables, named
Uninstall and
Install. Each of them is assigned a number of package names to uninstall and install respectively. The ones in there right now are obviously my choices, so if you want to add yours, simply enter the correct package name and separate it with a blank space.
As a quick example for installation, say you want to add AMSN to the list of applications that should be installed. The resulting
Install variable would then look like this:
Install=(gimp gimp-plugin-registry chromium-browser vlc audacious pidgin geany gtk-recordMyDesktop unrar thunderbird amsn)
Because apt-get will take care of all dependencies, you don't need to manually add them (unless you want to, of course).
The same logic would apply in the case of an uninstallation. Should you not want any of the packages listed to either be installed or uninstalled, simply remove them from the list.
...Of sorts, of course. Downloading the script and providing it with the correct privileges is all that is required. After that, we can enable a launcher from the main menu to ease things up a bit further.
1.- Download the script from HERE.
2.- Grant execute privileges from the GUI or from the CLI:
chmod +x CustUbuntu.sh
3.- The script can now be run, either from the CLI or from the GUI.
This script is obviously a work in progress. I already have some ideas to enhance it, but since it has already saved me significant hassle (and typing!) when installing new Ubuntu instances, I thought I'd share it.
If you'd like to see some other features or have spotted a bug, please let me know. Alternatively, if you want to modify it so it suits your own wicked ends, please feel free to do so.

There are reports that Kurdish rebels belonging to the Kurdish Workers Party(PKK) are withdrawing from bases in northern Iraq and returning to their homes in Turkey. The movement is in response to pressure from Iraq, the Kurdish government in Kurdistan, and the United States. They are being replaced by anti-Iranian Kurds who belong to the Free Lie Iranian Kurdish Party (PEJAK). Prime Minister Recep Erdogan of Turkey has announced his nation's army is authorized to make a cross border invasion if the situation requires and that the military is now working in close cooperation with American intelligence agents.
The shift from bases in northern Iraq back to homes in Turkey undoubtedly is the result of enormous pressure that was exerted on the Kurdish rebels. However, it is interesting they are being replaced by anti-Iranian Kurds whose goal is the overthrow of the Iranian government. One can only wonder if the United States will be exerting pressure on the PEJAK to cease military operations across the border into Iran. To Iranians, the failure to take action to halt the PEJAK is simply another example of American hypocrisy. the United States could reach out to Iran by promising to crack down on these Kurdish dissidents, but it is doubtful if such a policy would meet the needs of the Bush administration which is bound on pushing an hysterical anti-Iranian agenda.

Hello all, I am so glad I found you! I am a newby in every sense of the word. But for the past year I have been building my own smugglers room, (And website soon) equipped with working space ship parts, Death Star Trench poker table, droids, the works. But it is absolutely missing the key element, my man Boba.
So here is my dilemma, I have been searching around the site and I have to say you guys rock! I have downloaded templates for just about everything, and I have a fairly good grasp on what lies ahead, but I need a little help on creating my own Blaster. I haven't been able to find a thread that could lead me to a "from scratch" (easy introductory level) build. I am pretty comfortable with PVC, wood, tools, etc., but I don't have experience with some of the items I have read about (Bondo, Satrin, resin.) I need a fairly easy and quick Blaster in time for Halloween. Afterwards I will get serious on a more ideal replica for display.
Thanks for any direction that you can give me, I will be working the next few weeks and will post pics as soon as I have results.

Brown's Big Night Propels Green Bay to 74-54 Road Win
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Junior Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) scored a career-high 23 points and became the 25th member of Green Bay's 1,000-point club on Friday night, and in the process propelled the Phoenix to a 74-54 road win at Milwaukee in Horizon League men's basketball action at the Klotsche Center.
Brown scored his 1,000th career point with 5:04 left on a thunderous dunk off a beautiful pass from sophomore Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.). The 7-foot-1 All-Horizon League big man scored 15 of his 23 points in the second half as Green Bay turned a one-point halftime lead into a 20-point win. Brown went 9-of-18 from the field and 4-of-4 from the line, adding eight rebounds and three blocked shots in 35 minutes.
Green Bay led by as many as eight in the opening half but went into halftime clinging to a 28-27 lead. The second 20 minutes was back and forth early, and a layup from Paris Gulley gave Milwaukee its first lead of the game (37-36) with 15:29 to play.
The lead would be the only one of the night for the Panthers and last only 18 seconds, as a three-point play by senior Brennan Cougill (Sioux City, Iowa) put the Phoenix right back in front.
The game was tied at 41-41 with 14 minutes to play when a previously unbeaten Green Bay team took control. Sykes scored seven points and sophomore Cole Stefan (Minnetonka, Minn.) drained a three-pointer as part of a 18-2 run that Brown capped with a three-pointer of his own to make it 59-43 with 8:22 to play.
Milwaukee, who was held to just 37.7 percent shooting overall and went 3-for-20 from long range, could not get closer than 12 points the rest of the night.
Sykes, who is on pace to be the next Phoenix player to reach 1,000 points, overcame a tough shooting night and also dominated in the second half. The 5-foot-11 guard scored 13 of his 16 points after halftime as he and Brown outscored Milwaukee 28-27 after intermission. Sykes also added five assists as the visitors had 14 assists and just eight turnovers.
Brown (6), Cougill (5) and freshman Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) combined for 15 of Green Bay's 19 offensive rebounds as the Phoenix scored 24 second chance points. Cougill had 12 points and six rebounds, reaching double figures off the bench for the fourth-straight game and sixth time in eight Horizon League games. Fouse was limited to just 21 minutes but finished with eight points and eight rebounds.
Green Bay outscored the Panthers 42-38 in the paint, 17-4 off turnovers, 24-10 in second chance points and 21-0 off the bench. The Phoenix shot 43.8 percent for the game and used a 42-35 rebounding edge to attempt 11 more shots.
The Phoenix will be back on I-43 next week, heading south to Chicago for games at UIC and Loyola. Green Bay plays at UIC on Thursday at 7 p.m. before facing Loyola at 1 p.m. next Saturday afternoon.
Single-game tickets to Phoenix home games are on sale with the Green Bay Athletics Ticket Office. For more information and to order tickets, please call 920.465.2625, visit the athletics department offices in the Kress Events Center or access GreenBayPhoenix.com/tickets.

Few sea creatures have the universal appeal of the seahorse, one of nature's true oddities. To many people the only connection between a seahorse and the fish from the local market is that both are found in the ocean. Yet not only are these seemingly mythical creatures fish, but they belong to the largest family of fishes found in the coastal waters of Southern Australia.
A preserved Potbelly Seahorse, Hippocampus abdominaliSource: Museum Victoria
Seahorses are part of a much larger group of animals (the family Synganthidae) which have thick, external armour encasing the body and a tubular snout tipped with a mouth designed like a hatch door. The family also includes pipefishes, pipehorses and seadragons.
Pipefishes are generally long and pencil-like in shape, with a straight, tapering tail. Seahorses have a prehensile tail and a thickened body. The smallest adult seahorses are less than a centimetre long. Pipehorses (genus Solegnathus) are so-named because they have a typical pipefish-shaped head and body, along with the prehensile tail of a seahorse. They are largest fishes in the family, with one species growing to 50 cm in length. The family also includes such iconic Australian species as the Leafy Seadragon Phycodurus eques and Weedy Seadragon Phyllopteryx taeniolatus which is Victoria's marine emblem.

After a sometimes elaborate courtship, syngnathids reproduce in an unusual way. The female transfers her eggs to the male, who fertilizes and then broods them until they hatch.
Although not all species incubate their eggs in a pouch like that on the belly of the male seahorse, they all retain their eggs somewhere on the underside of their body until they hatch. The eggs are either partly enclosed in a pouch or simply attached to the underside of the tail until they hatch.
Most pipefishes, seahorses and seadragons live in shallow bays and coastal waters, especially amongst weed-covered reefs or in seagrass meadows, where they are masters of camouflage. Being rather poor swimmers, they are often found washed up on beaches after storms – many a beachcomber has discovered a dead seahorse or seadragon in the course of a daily walk along their favourite beach.
Spotted Pipefish, Stigmatopera argusPhotographer: Rudie Kuiter / Source: Aquatic Photographics
With our increasing awareness of the affect of human practices on the marine environment and the animals living in it, measures (including protective legislation) have been taken to assist with its survival. Seahorses have long been considered by certain cultures to have special medicinal properties and have been collected commercially for this purpose. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) enacted rules in May 2004 means that any country wishing to export seahorses will have to demonstrate that no wild populations are harmed by the global trade in seahorses.
In Australia, laws have been passed to reduce the exploitation of seahorses and their close relatives for this trade. All seahorses, pipefishes, pipehorses and seadragons are protected in Victorian waters.

As a homesick 6-year-old boy in war-ravaged France, Jacques works on a farm in exchange for food, dodging bombs, and bearing witness as German soldiers capture his father, a fighter in the Resistance. Soon Jacques is caught up in the hurly-burly action of his mother's cafe, where he proves a natural. He endures a literal trial by fire and works his way up the ladder in France's most famous restaurant, finally becoming Charles de Gaulle's personal chef. When he comes to America, he falls in with a small group of as-yet-unknown food lovers, including Craig Claiborne, James Beard, and Julia Child. The master of the American art of reinvention, Jacques goes on to earn a graduate degree from Columbia University, turn down a job as John F. Kennedy's chef to work at Howard Johnson's, and, after a near-fatal car accident, switch careers to become a charismatic leader in the revolution that changed the way Americans approached food.
The Apprentice is the poignant and sometimes funny tale of a boy's coming of age. It is also the story of America's culinary awakening and the transformation of food from an afterthought to a national preoccupation.
©2003 Jacques Pepin; (P)2003 Houghton Mifflin Company
"Fast-moving and often touching....[A] charming memoir." (Publishers Weekly)
"As one of the world's most celebrated chefs, Jacques Pepin has much to share when it comes to great food. However, this memoir is every bit as delicious as one of his finest recipes. Free of any pretension, complaint, or histrionics, Pepin's story recalls difficult times in war-torn France, fighting invaders and poverty with equal determination. Michel Chevalier offers a perfect voice for Pepin's anecdotes and memories, using his musical French accent to add just the right flavor. Any reader who loves food and a good story will enjoy listening to this memoir." (AudioFile)
Expert Griller
A lovely food memoir, well written and well read, but really not an unabridged reading. Whoever decided to omit the recipes at the end of each chapter and their description about how they pertain to the story was a fool and is truely cheating the listener of the whole book. This book will definitely make you hanker for a taste of classical French cooking. Anyone who reads about food is surely to be interested in the recipes. I would not have know about the recipes if I didn't own the book.
"Delightful and Interesting"
Jacque Pepin's story has many facets which he relates in an honest and unpretentious way. I came away with a great respect for the man and an enhanced view of cooking, especially in the selection of ingredients. One hears about choosing fresh and seasonal items, but Pepin tells what that means in very specific ways. Be advised that this book can make you very hungry.
I got interested in chef's memoirs after listenign to Anthony Bourdain's _Kitchen Confidential_. Jacques Pepin's life isn't as racy as Bourdain's, but it's in some ways much more intersting. Even though I've seen him on public television, I never knew about the twists and turns his career took in getting him to that point. The story is told with good humor and an abiding love for family and food. In the process you learn a lot about the history of cuisine in America and Pepin's influence of what you eat every day even now.
The book is read very well, not by Pepin himself but by someone with an accent very much like his. It was great fun to hear it.
We read The Apprentice for my book club... I got a great reading from Michel Chevalier (including the accent,) but missed out on the recipes in between chapters.
Jacques Pepin
I found this memior very moving and inspirational. Jacques' life is an incredible one, beautifully written. His stories conjure up wonderful smells and tastes. The day after finishing this book, I purchased Jacques Pépin's Complete Techniques - which is now a staple in my kitchen.
"An interesting view of a strange (to me) world"
I found this book enjoyable for its descriptions of food, France during the war, the life an apprentice chef, life as a cook in New York in the early 60s, life as Howard Johnson's corporate cuisine designer (who knew that Howard Johnson's used to have pretty good food?) and of life as a name-brand chef. It is not a masterwork; there are no great insights into either the world or the author's character (he mentions that a car accident left him a drug addict, but never mentions the problem again) but it is a good listen. Foodies will probably delight in his enthusiastic and thorough description of many of the fine meals he's made, and of the chefs he's known and loved (and hated.)

"very intertaining story"
I really liked this book. I have read many books of the same ganre and this one is rigth up there at the top.
Jacques of course.
A little monotone
If food interestes you and the process of becoming a great chef intreges you then listen to this book.
Male. Mammal. High school equivalency graduate. I like fruit and I just got a haircut. I would describe myself as somewhere between Christmas and being buried alive.
"C'est ennuyeux (It's boring)"
I bought this book for two reasons. First, I am a big fan of Jacques Pepin's cookbooks, his solo TV shows and especially his collaboration with his daughter in the TV program, Cooking with Chlodine. The second reason I bought it is that the reviews and ratings for this book, on both Amazon and Audible, were off the charts. Just take a look at Anthony Bourdain's review on Amazon and you will see what I mean. So far, so good, right? Wrong. This book is just okay. It is average, but not great. I found it boring. The story is rather formulaic; a poor boy from France makes it big in America. Been there and done that. One odd thing in the book is that Pepin had many interesting anecdotes that seemed to end rather abruptly, like a souffle that has suddenly fallen. Another thing that bothered me is that the book employed narrative passages that just are not that interesting to listen to. The book also seemed to lack a story arc. Having listened to this book and Julia Child's, My Life in France, I have to say I much preferred Julia Child's book. I buy and listen to a lot of audiobooks on Audible. My litmus test is very simple. I just ask myself, was I entertained? I have found entertainment in some very odd places in Audible (Jonathon Cecil's narration of the Jeeves canon, Simon Vance's narration of The Sex Lives of Cannibals, Grover Gardiner's narration of American Caesar; you get the idea). But frankly, this book was a disappointment and I think it is mostly due to mediocre writing and storytelling, boring narration (the narrator sounds like a robot with a slight french accent), and way too much hype (come on folks, you really think that this is a five star book?) from other reviewers (both professional and amateur). I do have one suggestion for the publisher. Why not have Jacques Pepin narrate the book himself? He has a charming french accent and I suspect that the book would at least seem more interesting and entertaining if he read his own story.
"Thoroughly Entertaining!"
With his meager roots in the French countryside to his quick wit and vivid descriptions of cuisine, it's a Foodie's guide to the evolution of food in America. History, culture, drama, comedy, and of course food, this book has something for everyone.
Wonderfully narrated (I'm a sucker for a French accent) this book was a Godsend on a dreary day on vacation.
I adored this book from start to finish. I have listened to Anthony Bourdain (loved him) and Ruth Reichl (loved her). Jacques was very good in talking about his early and extraordinary French culinary training as a boy continuing on into his adulthood.

What We Did And Why
Insurance carriers are pulling out the stops when it comes to their mobile strategies. It's now rarer to find an insurer that doesn't offer at least one app plus a mobile site. But just how effective are all these mobile insurance apps and sites at meeting the needs of auto insurance customers? At the end of the summer, we decided to check out the mobile sales and service functionality that leading US auto insurers – Allstate, Farmers, Geico, Liberty Mutual, Progressive, and State Farm – were offering to their customers. We reported what we learned in our just-published 2013 US Mobile Auto Insurance Functionality Rankings report.
Our approach followed these steps:

I can't imagine there is anyone in the UK that hasn't been in an M & S store, but if your ancestors entered the store via the staff entrance then this site must be worth a look.
The actual archive is housed in a brand new building in the grounds of the University of Leeds.

By Will Eno
Directed by Sam Gold
April 20-May 12, 2012
Yale Repertory Theatre (1120 Chapel Street)
Meet Bob and Jennifer, and their new neighbors John and Sally, two suburban couples who have more in common than their identical homes and the same last name on their mailboxes.
Two electrifying artists team up at Yale Rep for the world premiere of The Realistic Joneses. Dubbed "a Samuel Beckett for the Jon Stewart generation" by The New York Times, playwright Will Eno burst onto the scene in 2005—picking up a Pulitzer Prize nomination along the way—for his play Thom Pain (based on nothing). His recent Middletown was hailed as "totally engrossing" (Associated Press) and "utterly spellbinding!" (Time Out New York). Director Sam Gold's recent New York premieres of Circle Mirror Transformation, The Aliens, and Tigers Be Still have secured his place as one of the most insightful and sought-after directors of his generation.

My nephew told me about an Alzheimer's disease study at a nearby research center. I don't have memory problems now, but the disease runs in my family, so I worry about it. I called to find out about the study. The nurse asked me some questions about myself and my family health history to see if I could join. Later, my wife and I set up a time to go to the research center.
Taking part in the study has been interesting. Research like this could help in finding new treatments or even someday preventing Alzheimer's. Being part of a study is important to help my family and others in the future.
Researchers are doing studies with people who have different kinds of memory problems to find new and better ways to treat the disease. They also are looking at how to prevent Alzheimer's [1], slow the disease, and reduce its symptoms.
People with Alzheimer's disease, MCI, or a family history of Alzheimer's may be able to take part in clinical trials [2], a type of research study. Healthy people with no memory problems and no family history of Alzheimer's also may be able to take part in clinical trials.
Joining a clinical trial or other research study is a way to help fight Alzheimer's disease [3].

Here's a tutorial from start to finish to assemble the gauntlets from kit form. I know I should have posted this a long time ago, but I finally found the time, so here it is. Thanks.
Here's what I would do in these steps:
While you are waiting for the primer to dry on all of the parts:
- Clean up all of the parts (flamethrower, flamethrower cap, flamethrower nozzles, whipcord, hose barb and flare nut, hose attachment, and missile) with an exacto knife, emory board, files, etc.
- Sand down the really tough spots (mostly on the flamethrower).
- Place a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface (i.e. the floor) and sand flat the back of the flamethrower cap.
- Glue the flamethrower cap onto the flamethrower. I use only CA glue, but any type of superglue or epoxy would work.
- Drill out the holes for the pushbuttons on the flamethrower with a 9/32" drill bit.
- Drill out the holes for the flamethrower nozzles on the flamethrower with a 3/8" drill bit.
- Predrill the hole for the hose barb attachment on the whipcord with a 9/64" drill bit.
- If you are using a Dark-Side aluminum whipcord dart, drill out the hole for the dart on whipcord with a 21/64" drill bit.
- Do any necessary spot filling with Bondo, Evercoat, spot putty, etc.
- Finish sand and all of the parts with 220 grit.
- Primer all of the parts with a spray-can primer. I prefer Krylon grey. If you let it dry overnight, you'll get better sanding results. 24 hours is even better.
- Finish sand with some 320 grit, then maybe 400 grit. Some people suggest 600 grit for the final sanding before Rn'B, but personally I've never used higher than 400. Wet-sanding also make a difference.
At this point I would recommend:
- Finish trim the front and back curvatures of all four shells with a Dremel and a 60 Grit Sanding Band (Dremel part #408).
- On the left top shell, drill out the hole for the chrome Halo_1 LED housing with a 5/16" drill bit.
- On the left top shell, drill and clean out the oblong hole for the slider switch with a Dremel and Multipurpose Cutting Bit (Dremel part #561).
- On the left top shell, drill out the holes for the missile with an 11/64" drill bit.
- On the right top shell, drill out the holes for the mini-toggle switches with a 3/16" or 13/64" drill bit.
- On the right top shell, drill out the holes for the 4 darts with a 5/32" drill bit.
- On the right top shell, drill out the holes for the 2 mini-darts with a 1/8" drill bit.
- One at a time, hold in place all of the attachment parts and drilling out the holes in the shells for the set screws with an 11/64" drill bit. You already did this for the missile in Step #4 above. There are 2 set screws for each part.
- Once those holes are drilled, you can hold the parts in place again and mark for the predrill holes.
- Predrill with a 3/32" drill bit.
Once that's done:
- Follow the pictoral tutorial steps to cut out the recessed areas for the exposed hinges and to bevel the edges.
- Do any necessary spot filling with Bondo, Evercoat, spot putty, etc.
- Lightly finish sand all four shells with 320 grit. I say lightly because they're already pretty smooth. Be careful not to sand away the line detail in the front of the right top shell.
- Lightly primer and let dry overnight.
- Finish sand.
- Attach the exposed hinge following the pictoral tutorial.
- Attach the hidden hinge and pin closing system following the pictorial tutorial.
- Rn'B or paint.
I use a flat file to make the 45 degree(roughly) taper in pic #5.
I cut a channel in the fiberglass with the cutoff wheel only when the resin is too thick for the desired 1/16"-3/32" lip. Most times, a channel is not necessary.
I prefer to finish trim/drill, primer, and finish sand the shells before I attach the hinge, however, it could be done before or after. The only reason I'm not drilling out the various holes is because they aren't my gauntlets, otherwise, I'd do that also before primering.
I use Super-T CA glue (green label) on the hinges themselves because it has a higher viscosity and I don't have to worry about the glue dripping. I try not to apply it close to the links, and I hold the hinge in place until it dries (45-60 seconds).
I then seal around the hinge edges/holes filling any gaps between the hinge and shells with the Special-T glue (yellow label). I'm careful not to let the glue run into the hinge links. Then I use the NCF Quick after I apply the Special-T to quickly cure and set everything. I don't recommend using the NCF Quick when initially setting the hinge with Super-T because it doesn't allow any time for repositioning because of its instant curing properties.
After the small exposed hinge is affixed, I applied heat mainly to the bottom shell to realign the edges. I then held them in the position I wanted and ran them under cool water in a sink to maintain the shape. If I had just let them air dry, they could start going back into their original unrealigned position. If after you have the hinge/pin side affixed there is still a lot of tension on the pin, I'd recommend heating up both sides significantly, placing the pin in and letting them cool with the pin installed. This should decrease the amount of tension that may be on the pin.
I'd recommend cutting off one link length from each of the hinge/pin closure lengths that came with the kits. I did that for the two pictured here and it made affixing the hinges a lot easier. It looks like I cut the hinges too long.
All the pics are of the left gauntlet because it is the more difficult in my opinion. The steps for the right gauntlet are exactly the same and is actually probably easier to assemble. I'd recommend starting with the right gauntlet since it's the easier of the two, and then tackle the left gauntlet.
Let me know if there are any questions.:thumbsup

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Tha Locstah, Jun 25, 2009.
Darko should flourish in NY. Discuss.
NY fans will crucify him -- if he plays. He'll wish he was back in the Palace listening to fans hoping for some - any - effort out of him during garbage time. I really think he could be much better. Lousy attitude. LB had it right.
Congratulations! You have started the 1,000,000th Darko thread at Pistonsforum.com. As your reward, we will be sending you a complimentary copy of Darko's new book entitled "Blood Flow, War Zones, and Pre-game Threes."
Word on the street is, this move was to position themselves to lure LeBron next year.....
upside is he can drive a cab at night to make a few extra bucks..
all jokes aside. this is a perfect fit for darko finally a coach that will let darko be darko. the new york fans will love him because darko is fiery. darko is an exciting player that can do it all.
I think they let Darko be Darko when he played for Greece. Who can forget this Darko sound bite: YouTube - Milicic - Greek Subtitles
I hope this works for him. I might actually go to a Knicks game this year. I don't think i've ever seem Darko actually play more 2 minutes in person.
All true. But the struggle for Darko has always been the jealousy of his teammates. My question is: Will Darko's Knick teammates allow him to be the fiery and exciting player that he is someday destined to be? Or will jealousy, once again doom the Serbian Swat Machine?
Hmmm ... seems like a bunch of people believed this back in 2003, too. Hard to believe so many NBA coaches could be wrong about this guy since then, and you're somehow right about him.
This is exactly what I'm talking about! You're just jealous because Darko is so fiery..admit it gazoo. Sure, I wish I was fiery like him too but I try to be realistic about it.
hope floats
He sure was fiery back in the days of the draft...
all of darko's coaches have been fired. so it isn't hard for me to believe that he was misused.
Well, this is pretty much the last straw. If he can't thrive under D'Antoni, I think that will be the nail in his NBA coffin.
naw he'll float around the league for years to come. he'll always under achieve, but there will always be a spot for him on somebody's bench. Heck 5 more fouls to use on a real big man!
Darko coaches: LB hated rooks, didn't want the pick Flip Hated anyone not in the starting 5 Some dude from Orlando Loved Tony Batitte, nuf said Iavaroni forced to play Darrel Arthur and Marc Gasol because of ownership. Decided Darko was better and earned more pt, got canned Hollins The only coach I'd prefer Curry over. Likes slow immobile centers that cant d up but have a nice 5 foot game. Dantoni, a winner, wants to run, and WANTS Darko. cant wait to watch the games. will send court side pics. BTW with the court side seats you get to stand next to the players, derrick fisher comes up to my shoulder, and I'm 6-2, and D Howards mom is about 6 inches taller than me, no lie.
Mike Celizic: "Milicic isn't the most dominating center, and what he lacks in scoring touch he makes up for with mediocre rebounding."
Yeah, and as of today, all of Darko's teams have fired him. He's batting a thousand. I own hot sauces more fiery than this guy. He's the kind of fiery that is like an angry Scotty barking and running along side you as you ride your bike past his fence...boy, if he could just get on the other side of that fence....you're in for it.

First off, I'm not applying for the 501st, and I'd rather my costume be comfortable than accurate (which is why I believe I'll always use a modified t-shirt instead of flak vest, and usually leave off the hoses on the gaunts). With that in mind, I've got some ideas to share on guantlet darts...
My first set of gauntlets (the first thing I worked on for my Fett after buying an awful Rubies bucket) had 3 screw on spikes in place of the darts. I took these off of my high-school backpack which had been used storing spray paint cans for the last 12 years. Ah, to be punk in the late 90's... Anyway, these look neat, but are nowhere close to accurate. They're be great on a Mandalorian. I don't recall where I got em in 1998, but you can probably still buy them from a website like Hot Topic. I should probably use these for toe spikes, although I've been putting off adding toe spikes cuz I feel they might intrude on the comfort of wearing the costume because I'd constantly have to be aware of em to not stab anything accidentally.
Attachment 53767
I'm rebuilding the gauntlets now (you can see why in the pics: inexperienced builder with plaster on cardboard and forsale signs is not a good look), using purchased vac-formed tops and sintra clamshells and I'm thinking about what to use for darts this time around. It happens that I'm still punk enough to have some bad instrument cables lying around and I'm thinking about just cutting the 1/4" jacks off of 3 or 4 of those. They're about double the width of the accurate darts, but the shape is right. What do you guys think?
Attachment 53768
P.S. That's a Lobot headset in the background that I'm hoping to finish for my bald friend before Dragon*Con

Take an adventure holiday in UZBEKISTAN with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
Uzbekistan conjures up images of a time of oriental mystery, a time when the now ancient cities of Uzbekistan were located on the ancient Silk Road, the trading route between China and the West. The route took its name from silk, the commodity most in demand in Europe from China during the Roman period. Some of the most influential and savage conquerors came and ruled these lands.
Alexander the Great set up at least 8 cities in Central Asia between 334 - 323 BC before the caravans began traveling through the Silk Road after around 138 BC China opened its border to trade. Between 484 - 1150 Huns and Turks came from the west and brought with them a new religion of Islam. Many mosques and Madrassahs were built in Uzbekistan cities of Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva during this period, including remaining structures of the Samanids. Most of the cities were destroyed during the invasion of the Genghis Khan in 1220. His descendant Timur, known also as Tamerlane, resurrected once famous cities by using the labor of slaves and artists captured during successful crusades. Timur conquered Persia, captured Baghdad, and lead expeditions to Anatolia and India. Most of the architecture that is found in Samarkand was build by Timur and his grandson Ulugbek.
Uzbekistan is bordered by Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan The geography of Uzbekistan is mostly flat-to-rolling sandy desert with dunes, as well as broad, flat intensely irrigated river valleys. Fergana Valley in east is surrounded by mountainous Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan.

Matter of the Estate of Ranftle v. Leiby
Our Sponsors
For nearly 20 years, Ken Ranftle and Craig Leiby, 56, shared a life together. They married in Montreal on June 7, 2008, shortly after Gov. David Paterson issued the directive instructing all state agencies to respect the marriages of same-sex couples legally performed in other jurisdictions. Several months after their marriage, Ranftle, 65, passed away. Before his death, Ranftle had executed a will naming Leiby executor and leaving the bulk of his estate to his spouse, along with smaller bequests to each of his three brothers.
As the executor of the estate, Leiby filed a petition for probate on December 12, 2008, to start the process of carrying out his spouse's wishes under the will and making the distributions Ranftle had wanted for Leiby and the brothers. Leiby correctly listed himself on the probate petition as Ranftle's surviving spouse. As such, he is the only person entitled to be a party to the probate proceeding.
Ranftle's brother, Richard, filed an Order to Show Cause and Petition seeking to vacate the decree of the Surrogate Court, claiming that Leiby was not his brother's spouse and that New York does not respect the out-of-state marriages of same-sex couples. As was argued in Leiby's defense in court, Ranftle's brother was following an apparent strategy to position himself to challenge the will and leave Leiby without the financial security Ranftle had wanted for him. The Surrogate Court rejected Richard's attack on the marriage, agreeing that Leiby is Ranftle's surviving spouse and allowing probate to proceed.
Richard appealed to the intermediate New York appellate court. On February 24, 2011, that court ruled in Leiby's favor, holding that Richard Ranftle's efforts to have his brother's marriage disrespected were "patently without merit." This decision confirms that out-of-state marriages of same-sex couples are entitled to respect in New York for purposes of inheritance and succession rights, bringing important security to same-sex married couples.
- October 2010 Lambda Legal filed a brief in the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division, First Department in response to an appeal by Ranftle's brother.
- February 2011 The New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division, First Department upheld a lower court decision confirming that Leiby is Ranftle's surviving spouse and must be treated as such under the inheritance laws.

National Monument
Pretend you are watching a movie about the shaping of this landscape over eons of time. The Earth's surface recurringly rises and falls, crumbles, and blows away. The higher the land rises, the faster it is carried away by wind and rushing water, dictated by the constant pull of gravity. You see buckling, folding, and cracking of the surface caused by tremendous uplifts from deep within the Earth. This is matched by equally dramatic forces of erosion at work on the surface.
The last quarter of this imaginary movie depicts the events that show up today in the rocks of Colorado National Monument. The Uncompahgre Highland rises to mountainous heights, then is worn down over millions of years to a nearly level plain. (These ancient crystalline rocks - granite, gneiss, schist - which were at the core appear today in the canyon floors.) Great bodies of water follow, depositing layer upon layer of soft, sedimentary rocks as distant mountains give themselves up, grain by grain, to be reformed.
Becoming entombed within the rock are the remains of dinosaurs, fish and shellfish, early mammals, and many other life forms that lived within a span of more than 100 million years. Finally the Rocky Mountains begin their slow rise, and the surrounding land is raised as well. Water falling as rain and snow invades rock crevices, expands as ice, and begins prying pieces loose from solid material. As erosion continues, the streams and rivers sort themselves out into the ancestral Colorado River system.
Volcanic eruptions, the latest series of geological events, spread molten lava over much of the land nearby. (The remnant lava today forms a resilient cap on the Grand Mesa to the northeast.) Then, in the final frames of the geologic movie, humans arrive. They begin living in this broken, arid landscape, searching for plants and game to feed their families.
Time and weather have scoured away great volumes of these rocks, remnants of which form today's dramatic landscape. The rocks' differing resistance to erosion has given rise to the varied landforms - here a rounded slope, there a sheer cliff, and beyond, a towering monolith - that grace the park. More than for any other reason, Colorado National Monument was established to preserve these scenic treasures. Fossils and other evidence help to date these rock layers which spread across many other areas of the southwest. Here, with the exception of those exposed on the deeper canyon floors, all the rocks were formed at various times during the Mesozoic Era, 225 to 65 million years ago, dominated by the life forms we know as dinosaurs, perhaps not reptiles at all, but a form of life ancestral to today's birds. A fossil dinosaur skeleton from a site near the park created quite a stir among scientists at the turn of the century when it was found to be of the largest species ever discovered.
Detailed Park Geology
The Colorado Plateau and its desert landscape covers parts of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, including Utah's canyonlands and the Grand Canyon. As one heads west, however, this spectacular region has its most visible beginnings on the western Grand Junction skyline in Colorado National Monument (Carpenter, 2002).
Over a period of 1.7 billion years, geologic processes have created the features at Colorado National Monument. These processes include volcanism in island arcs along the growing ancestral North American continental margin, high-grade metamorphism, several periods of mountain-building, several periods of deep erosion, deposition of marine and non-marine sediments, more uplift, and finally erosion that carved the modern landforms (Scott et al., 2001).
Colorado National Monument lies along the northeastern flank of a large topographic feature known as the Uncompahgre Plateau. It is a high, elongated plateau region that extends from Ridgeway, Colorado, northwestward to near Cisco, Utah. The metamorphosed crystalline basement rock (1.7 billion years old), as seen in the monument, underlies the entire length of the plateau, with the Triassic Chinle Formation resting directly on the ancient basement rocks. There is no hint of the existence of any rocks having been deposited on the eroded basement surface between Late Precambrian and Late Triassic time, a period of some 1.5 billion years (Baars, 1998).
During Precambrian time, island arc volcanic rocks and related sediments accumulated along the continental margin. Compressive mountain building and intrusion of granitic rock and pegmatite dikes followed. During Cambrian through Mississippian time (545-320 million years ago), relatively thin marine sandstone, limestone, dolomite, and shale were deposited, covering much of the North American craton. During Pennsylvanian and Permian time (320-251.4 million years ago), Colorado was subject to a second period of compression and uplift, which formed the Ancestral Rocky Mountains. During this period of mountain building, the previously-deposited marine rocks—if ever present here—were eroded, transported, and deposited away from the monument area in great thicknesses into the Paradox Basin. Once again, the highly metamorphosed cores of ancient mountains lay exposed in the monument area.
Then deposition began again. Triassic through Cretaceous sediments were deposited over Colorado, this time under largely non-marine conditions until the Late Cretaceous seas covered the area. During the Mesozoic, non-marine sandstone and shale were deposited on the Precambrian basement rock. Most of the cross-bedded sandstone was deposited in desert conditions, and commonly shale was deposited in shallow non-marine lakes. Then the thick marine Mancos Shale and younger non-marine sandstone and shale covered these strata.
For a third time, mountain building affected Colorado. The Laramide Orogeny began in Late Cretaceous time (about 70 million years ago) and continued into the middle Eocene (about 50 million years ago). This mountain-building episode caused uplift, folding, and faulting in the Colorado Plateau region. Most of the present-day structural framework for Colorado National Monument was formed during the Laramide Orogeny.
After the Laramide Orogeny, during a significant part of the Cenozoic Era, great volumes of sedimentary rocks—particularly the soft, easily eroded shale—were slowly removed from the Colorado Plateau. During periods of relative tectonic quiescence, rivers in the area tended to meander and began to carve broad valleys into the areas underlain by Mancos Shale, such as Grand Valley. Regional uplift(s) in the Late Cenozoic caused rivers to entrench their meanders into the more resistant rocks beneath the Mancos Shale, forming such notable features as the Grand Canyon, Westwater Canyon, and the Goosenecks of the San Juan River.
This process of exhumation as a result of regional uplift is continuing today. Erosion of the canyons on the northeastern edge of the Uncompahgre Plateau at Colorado National Monument is beginning to remove the Mesozoic rocks from the Plateau. And for a fourth time, Precambrian rocks are being exposed. It is the canyon-cutting process that today is creating the magnificent scenery of Colorado National Monument.
Colorado National Monument's magnificent scenery is a result of the process of erosion that creates both its beauty and hazardous conditions. Intense summer thunderstorms are common and quickly produce large volumes of water that rush through the canyons of the monument. These storms erode the canyons, as well as flood buildings and roads built in their paths. Unstable cliffs formed, for example, by the Wingate Sandstone produce rockfalls that pose a threat in areas where visitors travel and that have been destabilized during construction of Rim Rock Drive. Expansive clays, present in rocks in the monument, play a role when wetted, and enhance landslides in the area.

Welcome to Golden Goals - a FREE video series on USA.Arsenal.com which showcases some of the finest goals in Arsenal's history.
Each of our weekly clips will feature footage of a classic goal plus expert analysis from former Gunner Stewart Robson and Arsenal.com editor Richard Clarke.
Our series continues with Dennis Bergkamp completing the hat-trick against Leicester in 1997.
Read on for the story of his goal and click the PLAY button above to watch our FREE video clip.
Bergkamp v Leicester City (A) 08-27-1997
So far in our list of Golden Goals, we have seen some amazing strikes from a wide litany of players. For some they make but one appearance. But for others – such as Dennis Bergkamp – their artistry is on display numerous times.
This marks the Dutch master's fifth Golden Goal and even by 'Bergkampian' standards, this strike stood out.
In a midweek away game at Leicester in late summer, Bergkamp was simply untouchable. He opened the scoring within 10 minutes with a curling shot into the top corner. He added a second early in the second half as Arsenal looked to be well on their way to victory.
But the Foxes would storm back. In the 84th minute Emile Heskey gave Leicester hope, and Matt Elliott made it 2-2 in stoppage time.
Bergkamp, however, was not finished. Less than a minute after Elliott's equalizer David Platt spotted Bergkamp running into the left-hand side of the box and lofted a perfect pass into the Dutchman's path.
In a moment of pure genius, the Dutchman immediately controlled the ball with a feather-like first touch. He then flicked it back past Elliott with his left foot. While the Leicester defender scrambled to recover, Bergkamp, ever so coolly, placed the ball into the top corner past a helpless Kasey Keller.
Despite one more late Leicester goal and the Gunners only earning one point on the night, Bergkamp still rates that goal as his finest in an Arsenal shirt. Speaking before his testimonial in July 2006, he explained why.
"My favorite would be the hat-trick goal against Leicester because when you play football you have certain things in your mind which you want to achieve, and this was like that," he said.
"In my mind I knew I wanted to do it like that and it worked exactly as I had planned it just two seconds before. With these sorts of goals there is a lot of skill involved and it has to come together."

In the recently published report "US Online Holiday Retail Forecast, 2012" Forrester estimates that US holiday season online retail sales will grow 15% from 2011 to 2012. While the number of US online holiday shoppers is expected to grow very little compared with last year, the average US online shopper will spend about 12% more than last year. But, as my colleague Sucharita Mulpuru shares in her blog on this topic, consumers are harder to impress this year. Satisfying the expectations of online shoppers during the holiday season is crucial to the Q4 success of retailers.
What kind of information sources are US online shoppers using most when considering products for purchase? Forrester's North American Technographics® Retail Online Benchmark Recontact Survey, Q3 2012 (US) shows that easy access to shipping costs is extremely important, followed by product ratings and reviews from other customers, and product information from retailers.
This holiday season, consumers are more likely than ever to visit a website before buying gifts; in fact, it will be the channel of choice for many. Retailers already go big on promotions, but if they don't have their basics in order — such as search, navigation, and checkout — customers will quickly move on to a competitor to find that great deal.
Posted by Reineke Reitsma on November 9, 2012
One of my responsibilities at Forrester is editing our Technographics® research deliverables globally. In recent years, we have regularly published reports on consumer behaviors in emerging markets, including the BRIC countries. One aspect of this global data really intrigues me: the success of luxury brands and the profile of luxury goods buyers in these markets.
China has emerged as one of the world's largest luxury goods markets: According to the World Luxury Association, shoppers from Japan represent 29% of the world market share of luxury goods sales; China, 27%; Europe, 18%; and the US, just 14%.
How are Chinese luxury goods buyers different from their non-luxury goods buyer counterparts? Forrester's Technographics® data shows that Chinese luxury goods buyers are similar in terms of age and gender to non-luxury buyers, but they tend to have higher incomes. However, they differ significantly with regards to lifestyle and social attitudes.

You could try disabling them in the BIOS before you boot live, maybe?
So, I can't copy the exact output of the error because it happens while booting the live cd. I get errors with my hard drive. (i have a gateway nv52 it should work) Both the drives soft reset failed. Then I get emask exception errors from my hard drive forever, it never boots. So, if I remove my hdd it boots fine, but I don't wanna have to do that to use backtrack, so what boot parameters can I use to disable the hard drive so linux doesn't even see it (nohd doesn't work). I've also tried many boot parameters like acpi=off which did nothing.

thou shalt treat all computers as thou wouldst treat thyself, for thou art the creator of thine own problems.
Unfortunaly there is no bios option for that and its a laptop, continuously removing the hd is an option either idk what to do.
There is no option in the bios for that, if there had been I wouldn't be here
For those interested I solved the issue without removing the hd. If you are getting block errors and {DRDY ERR} it is because your hard drive may be damaged, but fret not! There is a soultion. It just has bad blocks fix them with this here depending on your drive manufacture: Recovering Hard Disks with Bad Blocks | Hardware Secrets . See this for source of information: [ubuntu] hdd error {DRDY err} - Ubuntu Forums
Bad blocks can cause issues, nothing will fix them except a diagnostic or drive replacement. After the diagnostic no errors except, softreset failed, which is because I have an amd chipset.
