Khosla Ka Ghosla (2006)
Comedy about a soon-to-retire middle-class Delhiite who excitedly purchases land on which to build his dream home. But after shelling out his life savings he discovers, much to his horror, that the land has been unlawfully occupied by an unscrupulous property shark.

Set against a looming monsoon, this color-charged movie revolves around an arranged marriage in Delhi. A series of intersecting stories—from that of the goofy event planner to those of the bride's relatives—injects plenty of dramatic and comical twists.

Darting back and forth through some seven centuries of Delhi's rocky history, this historical novel centers on the life of a lascivious journalist and is interwoven with a jumble of engaging characters, from princes to poets.
Inhaling The Mahatma, by Christopher Kremmer (2006)
From Old Delhi's teeming streets to New Delhi's corridors of power, Kremmer superbly captures modern India at a time of change. Through riots, a hijacking, and other close encounters, the author, aided by the grace of his adopted Indian family, finds resilience and optimism amid India's chaos.
The Last Mughal, by William Dalrymple (2007)
Largely shaped from the rebels' formerly untranslated documents, this gripping book relays the Indian and British perspectives of the 1857 siege of Delhi—climax of the largest anti-colonial revolt in history that led to the demise of the highly cultivated world of Mughal Delhi.
Twilight in Delhi, by Ahmed Ali (1940)
Classic historical novel set in Delhi after the War of Independence (1857). Revolving around an upper-class Muslim family, it proffers a nostalgic window into the Islamic and Hindu culture of Delhi and how it, and Delhi at large, changed with British rule.

text: Yesterday I got my hands on a CZ97. I have been extremely impressed with every CZ I have fired and this was no exception. I shot a 2in hole(one hole) at 25 yards with it off hand. I have never shot anything that well before. Oh, I forgot to mention that it was 10 rounds. All of my other groupings were larger, but nothing bigger than 4 inches. All were 10 rounds. I wasn't shooting for accuracy, just wanted to put some holes in paper, so that is why they were 10 round strings. I have always considered myself a decent marksman, but never even close to that. I am 100% sold on CZ's now. The 97 is next on my list!

text: Posted November 27, 2012 Hello everyone, I've been visiting Neowin for the past 10 years or so and it's been a wonderful site. I have never really cared for the news posts, but the forums have been the best part from many websites on the internet. From Rappy's posts on movies/tv shows, Hum's weird newsposts and other interesting discussions, it's been a great place. As a thank you to Neowin, I wanted to giveaway 1 one-month subscriptions to Teamtreehouse.com that I recently got.. "Treehouse is the fastest, easiest way to learn to code, make apps, and start a business. Tutorials in CSS, HTML, Ruby, JavaScript, iOS, and more." It has over 700+ videos teaching programming, design, business and many other things. You can view the videos and then also try the interactive coding simulators and you get badges as you progress further. I think in one month, if you're dedicated, you can complete many of the courses. They also help in connecting you with clients once you've completed the course. If you cannot complete the course, I think you can download all of the 700+ videos for later viewing and studying. It's a nice resource to learn from and gain some extra knowledge from basics to advanced. Please leave one comment here in this thread if you want the subscription. Then on December 5, I will use the random.org website to select 1 winner from the post numbers. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joseph W. McQuaid: City should honor all fallen officers
One way, as Alderman Joe Kelley Levasseur suggested, would be to name the new station for Michael Briggs and Ralph Miller. A better way would be to come up with a suitable memorial within the new building that would honor all police officers who lose their lives in public service.
The current Ralph Miller Public Safety Center is not named for some ancient memory. Officer Miller was shot down in 1976. His murderer is still very much alive and still in prison. The Miller family, including his widow, children, and parents, still live here.
Police Chief David Mara said the Briggs family, which lost their loved one in 2006, should get to see the same honor bestowed on him as was bestowed on Miller.
That is a fine sentiment. But what happens, God forbid, if in 20 years another officer is killed?
Will the Briggs family be shunted aside? Will they feel then as the Miller family and friends must feel now?
We understand that emotions are still raw for those who served with Officer Briggs. His killer faces the death penalty. Appeals may linger for years. But emotions are also still very much alive for those connected with Officer Miller. And what of the sacrifice of Officers McAllister and Moher, who died in an earlier era?
This need not be an either/or choice.
The aldermen would do themselves and the city proud by taking a new vote to suitably honor all officers who have given their lives to serve and protect their city.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Btw Alfie is almost 7 and neutered since he was about 3 and Dagon is 2. Alfie's personality and dominance/new dog aggression changed very little if at all after he got neutered. Im still hoping for a slight improvment between them. If anything, I do plan on taking Dagon out to the beaches and parks, so neutering seems like a good idea either way.
Ill have to post a pic of them together. A dominant little 14 pound westie and a 75 pound GSD. They make quite a pair. Also my little 12 pound shih poo who has been a princess and an innocent bystander in this whole process. She just wags her tail and gives Dagon kisses and walks off. He just leaves her alone
|Well the dogs have been together in the same house for about a week now. All is well and all are still alive and in one piece. They are only together while supervised. Dagon the GSD has even been trying to play with Alfie. He does a little bow thing and runs off, Alfie chasing him and barking. Dagon is definitely playing, Alfie is half enjoying it... I think. So, I think they are doing well so far. Tomorrow Dagon is getting neutered, and I hope this will improve their relationship even more. They nap close to each other which makes me think they are getting quite comfortable. The problem is when I get home and the dogs get excited, you can see the tension there and there is some growling and barking from Alfie. I try to ignore both of them to discourage their behavior until they calm down. Anyway, I'm stressing about the neutering tomorrow, hoping all will turn out well. Wish us luck!
|Only one dog household here. But in public - my experience when Rusty was intact is that neutered males did not care for him. In training class the only dogs that would lunge & want to remove him for the planet were neutered males. There was never any contact, owners got control. Once at the vets office a Golden tried to go after him. The owner said he only does it with intact males. She was very apologetic, again no contact was made. But that dog in particular really peeved Rusty off.
|my boy diesel
agreed sun
posturing is a good term for it
agreed about bitches too!
never again!
A truly dominant dog isnt' going to start a fight for his position, he will finish it but he won't start. Which sounds like what's going on here. Your westie is also upset because it's his house and who is this dude. Altering them will slow down the posturing a bit.
LOL yeah the bitches are bitches. I like mine one at a time!
I have two intact males and two spayed females. We went through a few heat cycles before the one was spayed though, and our upstairs neighbor had an intact breeding bitch for 2 years so there was a lot of hormones going on for a while. I have zero issues. I will never leave my boys unattended with each other as each does want to be the dominant one but under supervision they know the rules and are fine with each other.
When I was a child we had westies and gsds. We babysat an intact male gsd for a while and our intact westie was horrible. The GSD put up with him for a few days then had enough and ripped open his head, the westie was alright but needed an emergency vet visit and stitches/drain in his head. Brought him home from the vet and he was right back at the gsd. They are tenacious and don't know that they are little so I strongly recommend not leaving them unsupervised and to be right on top of any bad behaviour before it escalates.
|my boy diesel
dagon sounds as if he is challenging the westie
be careful with this because he may want to take top spot in the house
and yes i honestly believe neutering will help with this to an extent
dagon may gradually feel less inclined to challenge the westies position
how old are each of the dogs?
I think it all depends on the dogs involved. I think you're making the best decision by neutering.
I have a five year old neutered male GSD. He is very submissive and dog "neutral." He has never had issues with other dogs. When he was three, I got another male GSD. He was eight weeks old. I separated the two for about six months, allowing only visual contact. I then let them interact. Now, the "puppy" is almost two years old. Intact male. The two have not had any problems. I can leave them alone without supervision.
Like I said, it all depends on the dogs involved; sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
thank you all
Thanks for the experiences and responses. I wouldnt necessary call the GSD aggressive. He has never shown any aggression towards people or animals. But he has gives my westie this fearless stare when Alfie is being a brat. My westie is the one that is aggressive and once Dagon sees Alfie growling and barking, he responds with his own barking. Also once Alfie settles down and goes and does his own thing, Dagon will just go up to him and follow him around staring at him... it makes Alfie uncomfortable and I can just feel the tension between them, and I can see alfie about to snap.. thats when I break them up and distract them with something else. There has not been an official fight yet but I thnk its because we havent allowed it to happen. They are not living together yet. These were only 2 times that we have allowed them to interact for several hours. I get very nervous and Im sure thats not helping the situation.
Also, thank you for the condolensces. It has been a difficult time for my family. Dagon was my dads beloved dog, and Dagon misses him terribly. He goes around looking for him constantly. There is no way this dog is going anywhere so we are determined to make it work somehow.

Also, unless you neuter around 6 months it won't do much for aggression. From what I read.
Also, we had a dominant and slightly aggressive dog at the park that was neutered at 2 for aggression and the owner said there was no change. I don't know how he was before but what I saw didn't look good.

text: Rfishers decorating thread got me thinking about the renovation/decorating programmes on TV. People have probably seen a lot more than I have. But here are my favourite shows. My favourite is Grand Designs. Love Kevin McLeod. Best presenter on TV period. The Australian version was okay but not as good as the UK one. And I managed to see an episode of Colin and Justin's Home Heist on the weekend. Really enjoyed it. And I loved "How not to decorate". Those guys are hilarious. I think they are my favourite decorating presenters. Also 60 Minute Makeover is another guilty pleasure. They do a crap job (after all how good a job can you do in 60 minutes?) but I enjoy the results. I don't know if those Hoarder shows would classify here but the transformations can be amazing (personal and property).

Phillies, Lee outmatched by Rockies rookie
Phillies, Lee outmatched by Rockies rookie
DENVER -- A big, left-handed pitcher dominated from the mound Friday night, but it probably wasn't the one Phillies fans were expecting. Instead of ace Cliff Lee seizing control of Colorado, it was rookie Christian Friedrich who had the Phillies in fits, striking out seven as the Rockies opened up the weekend series with a 6-2 win Friday night at Coors Field. "He mixed it up nicely, got his curveball over," said Ryan Howard, who struck out twice against Friedrich. "He threw enough pitches for strikes and did a pretty good job."
Perhaps Lee has himself to blame. After all, he tutored Friedrich for 10 days' worth of workouts this offseason in Arkansas at the advice of their agents. At the time, Friedrich was a 2008 first-round Draft pick who had yet to advance past Double-A. Lee gave him a few mechanical tips and taught Friedrich how to improve his velocity by effectively throwing on a downward trajectory. "I learned so much from observing him, his workouts and work ethic, the way he throws the ball," Friedrich said. "I really learned the most from watching him work." Friedrich (5-6) has clearly improved from those sessions, much to the chagrin of the Phillies hitters, who managed five hits in six innings off the southpaw, scoring just one run. "To go head-to-head [with Lee] is something I didn't think was going to happen last offseason at any point in time," Friedrich said. "It was kind of cool the way it worked out." Lee, who exchanges text messages with Friedrich from time to time, is impressed with his pupil. "A rookie, in this ballpark, he's doing well," Lee said. "Going six innings and giving up one run, that's pretty good." After the Rockies scored an unearned run in the bottom of the second -- Phillies second baseman Chase Utley erred on a sharp grounder -- Jimmy Rollins doubled in John Mayberry, who had led off with a single. With Carlos Ruiz on second with one out in the fourth, Hunter Pence whiffed at a Friedrich fastball and Placido Polanco grounded out. Mayberry again led off the fifth with an infield single but was caught in an uncommon 2-4 pickoff at first base as Lee attempted to bunt. A snake-bitten season continued for Lee (1-6), who notched his 10th quality start this year but was undone by a sloppy sixth inning, when he gave up a double, single, sacrifice fly and single in succession as two Rockies scored. What hurt worse was that the effort was spearheaded by Jordan Pacheco and Josh Rutledge, the Rockies' Nos. 7 and 8 hitters. "They had a great day, they were a big part of them winning," Lee said. "Both of those guys swung the bat well. Normally you don't expect that out of the bottom of the lineup." In a year of frustrations for the Phillies -- their fifth straight loss puts them 15 games behind dirst-place Washington in the NL East -- manager Charlie Manuel can't quite fathom how they are 4-11 with Lee on the mound. "I do shake my head, I can't believe we can't win with Cliff pitching," Manuel said. Added Lee: "I'm not going to make excuses, I'm just going to go out there and continue to try to give this team a chance every time."

Re: Getting ahead of myself
This is why I love coming here. Thank you all for the great feedback! I understand the "firehose" comment completely, but I really want to do part of the delivery. I see it as a great way for me to learn the boat, and to get more comfortable with her. By the time I'm done, I'll have sailed the Chesapeake, Delaware River, the Atlantic Ocean, and Barnegat Bay, and I will ALMOST have done the little "great loop" around Delaware/MD. If all goes well, I think it will go a long way toward giving me more confidence with her.
That being said, getting to Deltaville is a pain, and the stupid issue of getting to the marina is frustrating (no car rental places within almost 20 miles, no taxi services near there, etc.). I'm still working on all of that, and will likely just wind up driving my car down there and leaving it at the marina, then going back at some point and picking it up, or finding someone to drive it North for me. If I could find someone to move the boat up to Annapolis/Rock Hall/etc. at a price that's close to my projected cost to DIY (which is surprisingly more than I had originally anticipated), then that would be great. The prices mentioned here are higher than I had hoped, though, so it's looking like that probably won't be an option.
Sorry, I know I tend to ramble and overthink things! But it's funny how often someone picks up on something and comes up with great suggestions, and I HATE when I learn that I missed an option that would have made more sense.
Re: Getting ahead of myself
Jim congrats. Now the fun begins!
I think the folks on this thread are giving you good advice about a captain bringing her up to Barnegat. Then you can work on her and learn her at your pace vs. drinking from a fire hose.
Re: Getting ahead of myself
Just say the word, offer is still there, especially with a pretty boat

Actually I prefer Annapolis either pick up the mooring ball or drop anchor. Water taxi and public transportation are there.
Re: Getting ahead of myself
Chef is right. Pay a Captain to take her on the outside when the right weather window presents itself and get your boat all the way home. It seems like you can stay where you are for free until that window presents itself.
You are going to have to leave her at a slip or mooring when you leave her and that is going to really add up, especially if you get bad weather and she stays somewhere for a week. The more you need that not to happen, the more likely it will happen. That's a law of passage making.
Re: Getting ahead of myself
Seems complicated...Much less so when sailing down to Deltaville than driving down there
Your original plan where your wife dropped you off and a few off for the initial trip up the Bay was less complcated. As you leave it in a marina on the way up you will keep incurring costs major storage costs and still have to travel far to get to it.
Your initial plan to get it to the top of the Bay or two days outside to its final home still seems less complicated and less expensive overall. The time you spend cleaning is great, but now you need to get her home.

Re: Getting ahead of myself
Just got back and settled. As I price out the cost of me getting to D'ville, and dropping off a car, etc., I'm looking at easily $400-500, in part because the closest place that rents a vehicle is uHaul (they also happen to be the least expensive, at $180 plus tax, plus $35 for insurance, etc.). Add in the cost of fuel (easily $60), and I'm already at $275 (not including taxes and other fees). But then I have to get from the uHaul place to the marina - tack on at least another $25 for a taxi. Then, depending on the weather, it may make more sense to stay at the local hotel, since the uHaul place is also on the wrong side of a very narrow, windy bridge from the marina (but on the same side as the hotel). I'm not usually scared of bridges, but I'm not sure, even with insurance, that I like the idea of driving a large vehicle (uHaul only rents their trucks for interstate trips) across that bridge if its windy. So, if I chicken out (or, put another way, if I decide to stay safe!) I can add on another $200 for hotel rooms, which puts me at $500. I'm told some of the captains in the area charge about $300 a day for a bay delivery. In the end, that may be the way to go. I need to be in DC for work this coming week, so it would be really handy if the boat was already in that area. I need to look into this a little more.
Re: Getting ahead of myself
Congratulations on the boat!! Best of luck with her.
Generally, you can find a wide spectrum of cost for delivery Captains. Rightly, a Bay delivery should cost less than open water, as it requires different experience levels. The two guys that I've used are terrific. They are highly experienced and shuttle several boats per year back and forth to the Caribbean (direct and often skipping Bermuda) Their rates are $400/dy for the skipper, $250/dy for the mate (both are 100 ton master licensed) and $50/dy for provisions. You also need to pay to get them to/from the boat, but they'll drive if they can.
You often get what you pay for. I also know a 20 something local bartender with his 50 ton who will work for $150/dy in cash on a coastal delivery. He is rail meat on some serious racing yachts, but knows his way around a sailboat. He brings his girlfriend for a set of hands. You decide who you would rather have.
I only provide these costs for reference, as I'm sure you can find someone closer and save a ton of travel expense. I also think a 100ish mile Bay delivery should only require one licensed Captain and an unlicensed mate, who would cost very little.
I agree with Chef, if you are going to break out the wallet and pay, I would gulp and have her taken all the way home. While it will set you back a bit more, you'll get the boat home and have more free vacation/personal time to shake her down. The skipper will also have gotten to know her a bit and will be able to give you a good debrief on what is working properly. I hate to say it, but expect something to break, whether you deliver her or pay someone else.
No matter which you do, expect a lot of motoring. Coastal delivery captains don't usually goof around with tacking and jibing and significantly extending a trip. They sail on a stiff beam reach, otherwise, they motor sail at best. It's probably in your interest, as the fuel will cost less than they do.
Re: Getting ahead of myself
Congrats my friend. you got yourself a nice boat.
Ha...you haven't priced Captains before. Guess. That 400 might barely cover expenses. Not speaking for them as I am sure many if fervent rates, but I usually figured $1000 per dy plus expenses. Tht means getting there and home too as well s food. This is a one dy delivery or a Captain. If you that route a Captain could get her to Barnegat in two days outside.
Annapolis is an expensive place to leave her, I thought you would go o Rock Hall at least.
Much easier drive for you as well . Rates re half of Annapolis and thy have a lot of qualified Marine people there.
Did your friend back out helping you?

This is part of my thread called 'The Boba Fett Suit Fact Files' and is located here The Boba Fett Suit Fact Files. The idea is to identify all the armor and possibly the soft parts so we can have a full image of Boba Fett's history.
I will focus on the so called ROTJ armors (hero and stunts) because of the rumours about the origin of that armor:
I know this has been discussed partially here on TDH, and some of you pointed out the origin of the paint underneath the ROTJ abdominal plate to be the ESB paint. While this is true, there are more to discover, than we think, using only reference images from the Gallery. It seems that almost all the 'Johnston' armors (Pre-Pro #1, Pre-Pro #3 and ESB) were recycled for ROTJ, mainly because these armors had ALMOST the same phisical damage. Note the uppercase word, which is significant in it's contex because those armors are slightly different and will help us to identify with more ease those parts.Source: Star Wars Aficionado ==> BEHIND THE SCENES INFO ON ALL SIX STAR WARS FILMS
Compiled by Scott Weller
Though the original armour was heavy on set for filming, his shoe wear was very soft, allowing him to move/glide along the floor quite easily whilst playing the part.
Some time ago he visited LUCASFILM to see his original Boba Fett costume (which, though created for EMPIRE, was later given a new paint job for his appearance in RETURN OF THE JEDI).
My main concern is the fate of the ESB armor... It's forever gone!!!
Not all the drawned outlines are visible on the ROTJ chest plate, but I did it to show you the approximative placement of the ESB paint scheme. If you study the second image closely you can see some of the yellow paint underneath the base green.
It seems that they used the ESB chest logo on all the ROTJ chest plates and the crack on the right chest plate occured sometime during the filming of the Empire in the Carbon Chamber scene (possibly the scene when Boba draws his blaster against Chewie).
New Addition 27-09-2011
Here is a comparison image with the ESB Hero and the known ROTJ Hero and Stunt chest logos. While the ESB and ROTJ hero logos are not too visible (in lack of good reference images) you can still see that they used the ESB Hero chest logo to creat the ROTJ ones.
End of new addition.
There isn't a good shot (just a couple of black/white images) with the ESB abdominal plate so I used four different visible parts of this armor.
And here are two more images with the used twin armor parts:
In the first image the right chest plate is not 100% sure that is part of the Pre-Pro #1 or the Pre-Pro #3. The abdominal plate is Pre-Pro #1 specific because of the bottom dent placement which is further out compared to the ESB and the Pre-Pro #3. The collar plates are even more difficult to be identified, but not impossible. I will post later images to show these differences.
Additional images
Here are the comparison images with the abdominal and collar plates:
But there was a sister armor (the Sandy armors = Pre-Pro #2, Sandy and ROTJ v1) part that was used for the ROTJ suit: the right chest plate from the ESB Promo #1 armor.
Next time I will try to identify the cod pieces.
New Addition 26-09-2011
As I promised, here is a comparison image with the ROTJ vs Twin cod pieces. While this might not be a 100% proven fact, but is pretty close in lack of other reference material.
New Addition 29-09-2011
I did these comparison images mostly because of my discussions with James (BGHunter) in the 360° Of Real Armor!! thread, who still think (and might be others too) that the ROTJ armors were painted by Sandy before the Empire and are not the repainted ESB, Pre-Pro #1 and Pre-Pro #3 armors.
This image shows a comparison between the ESB Hero and the Pre-Pro #3 left chest plates. You can see that the upper left dent isn't in the same place on the armors and the pair of dents are positioned slightly different.
The image shows how well the original armor match the later repainted ROTJ armor.
Here is a link to an image in the Gallery (photo made by Britt Diez in high rezolution at Celebration IV) which show you, if you look closely, some remnant yellow paint from the original ESB under the ROTJ Stunt base green, especially around the chest display and at the edge of the left chest plate near the center diamond. But there is visible paint on the upper edge and around the bottom edge of the left chest armor.
New addition and correction 11.11.2011
Thanks to BOBA PHAT's keen eyes, I have to make some corrections to the facts presented here!
I based my own research by comparing the dents and its placements to track back the origins of the armor parts, but it seems that the ROTJ Hero left chest plate (from the MoM/DaG/SWtE exibits) is NOT the repainted Pre-pro #3 chest plate, but part of one of the ESB promo suits (some of us call it the Sandy suit, photo by Heilman) with later added dents to look like the Twin Armors, while the actual Pre-Pro #3 left chest plate might be part of the stunt suit from ROTJ.
While some of the scratches (center diamond) and dents (collar plate) looks the same, these are NOT 100% a repainted ESB promo suit part.


text: Someone asked a while back, "what would be considered a break-out game for Darko?". I don't think this was it, because I think he needs to be 20-20, but what do the others think? He was well on the way to 20-20 last night but after a while, the guards took over and the passes in to Darko stopped.


text: As you consider your investment, we believe Wheaton stands out for a variety of reasons, and one of these is our commitment to make your education affordable – to make your investment worth it. We realize that a private college education is costly, which is why Wheaton is dedicated to providing need-based aid so you can attend. Last year, we awarded over $25 million in grants and scholarships, and $10 million in loans. Even more, every student gets the help of our endowment: the actual cost to the college to educate a single student for one year is significantly higher than the total billed cost. Indeed, the cost of a Wheaton College education is remarkably low compared to costs at private institutions of similar quality: Out of 124 colleges classified with us in the top two tiers of National Liberal Arts Colleges in U.S. News & World Report's Annual Best Colleges, Wheaton's tuition ranks 108th (a "1" ranking being the most expensive).* Out of 13 colleges in the Christian College Consortium, Wheaton's tuition ranks 5th. Publications such as Barron's and Kiplinger's consistently rate Wheaton as a "best buy." Since it was founded 150 years ago, Wheaton has emphasized academic rigor and biblical values, with excellent results. Our reputation extends beyond the Christian community: U.S. News & World Report, Peterson's, National Review, and others rank Wheaton in the top 100 national liberal arts colleges. Few schools approach education with such integration of learning with faith. Few have better results. A Wheaton education builds into each graduate the ideals and skills that are invaluable in our ever-changing world: steady faith, moral integrity, critical thinking, and the capacity to learn throughout a lifetime. Wheaton's resources ensure that such standards are upheld: with excellent facilities and a faculty dedicated to not only teaching, but also mentoring. The end of class never signals the end of a student's learning. Professors are devoted to preparing students to engage in a constantly changing world, and to experience the reality of Christ's kingdom in it. For these reasons, we believe, along with a thriving community, that the investment of time and resources is resoundingly worth it.

text: I agree with the strategy of trying to get Shaq in foul trouble as early as possible. It may not work, but I would like to see a relentless game plan that focuses on it. You would have to create as much contact with Shaq as possible. He's taken 2 charges this year. If he successfully takes 5 against you, then maybe the strategy isn't working. Send the guards at him and make sure that they hit body to body. Put in Dyess and Sheed together and go to whichever one Shaq is guarding. Have them pump fake and initiate contact.

About year ago i bought this model and started painting it.. about half-way through i had to put the project down in favour of other things. (Some might remmember the "Show-Off" thread back then... )
Anyway.. this last two weeks i've been putting some real elbow grease into it and i've made a real leap in its development.. but i degress.. you're not here to read.. you are here to look! So.. on to the pics!
I'm going to mount the model on a plattform which is, in the end, going to resemble a corner in Jabbas palace..
To weather the boots Tamiya weathering kits... I can't begin to praise these little "make-up" kits...
The back with Jet Pack and cape..
The left side
I've still got some weathering left on the helmet though.. as well as attatch the range finder.
Again.. these knees are a result of those wonderful Tamiya weathering kits.
And here is the killer.. Real working lights in the gauntlet and chest display!!

Complete tutorial here.
Mike, love those boots man
Dougie - I know where u are going with this!
I know lots of UK troopers use the microfibre chukka shoe as a base, although its sole is wrong.
I've investigated gettin a new sole put on these, and ahve got quotes like 15-20 quid.
I was thinking of poppin into Tesco to pick a shoes with that flat sole and gonna try to do a boot Mike style. Will post pics of the base shoe after I sneak off to Tesco ;P
Very impressive Mike, thanks for the info.
Yeah Nate, that's exactly the pair that I have, not really happy with them.
possible UK options form tesco
Here are Danny's.
After a couple of troops he ended up cutting off the whole top of the foam at the top edge of the shoe. And he took the front part that he cut off and glued it on the inside of the shin armor piece for padding . He has also weathered them very nicely.
They have held up great!
We are in the process of prototyping boots. It was near impossible to model the boots properly since they are never closely featured in any shots in the movies. It was a ton of trial and error but we think we are relatively close at this point.
Look really good, if anything maybe make them a little taller. Just so theres no chance for a mishap.
Yeah, I agree they should be taller in real life. This model was to make it as accurate as possible. We still have some tweaking to do but I think it's mostly there. I notice that I left the cross bar out of the ankle buttons. Oops.
I used nursing shoes.
Starting on mine this weekend, wish me luck
I don't believe those rectangles on the top of the foot should be recessed like that. The side view shows it as raised, with the rectangles with sharp corners rather than rounded off corners.

still need to do something to get rid of the black between the top of the shoe, and the bottom of my shin armor.. but its a start!!!
any updates on shoe production please guys???
Here's mine:
These are mine, they were a pretty quick and dirty job (15 mins per boot, made for about 5usd) they're more of test than anything, I'm planning on redoing them with thinner foam over the toes and sorting the bottoms out with flat soles when my armour kit arrives, also missing the ankle disks atm
(ignore the shin armour, they are from an fx suit)
In the reference shots I've seen, the spat part almost looks like it should be ridged armour.. not sure how practical that would be though...

Hi mates, what about these OSCS boots, are the ankle`s height acceptable?
I'm using these boots (puma's striscia 2), to modify them I'm using white rubber rainboots (cutting out for straps, and neck flaps).
@ postmortem, will they be sold anytime soon? could you pm me with a price, when you start selling them?
hey , mine are technical clone boots.
They are the current boots that can be made from shoes.

I would like to start my first official Superintendent's Message with a sincere thank you to the School Board of the Brea Olinda Unified School District for giving me the privilege to join such a wonderful school district and community as Brea. Additionally, I would like to thank all of the past and present administrators, certificated and classified employees, students, families and Brea community supporters for the educational and civic foundation that has been laid for past, present and future students of the district.
I remember attending my first campout as a young cub scout and not fully understanding the words of our scout leader as we cleaned the campsite before leaving to come home. His simple message was "We must leave it better than we found it". I did not understand the concept at the time believing since we were done with the campsite that we were free to go. That simple truth has resonated throughout my life in every endeavor in which I have been a part.
A school district and a community like Brea do not happen by accident. It has been the longstanding commitment of generations of men and women who have employed that simple motto and applied it to the community of Brea, the schools in Brea and to the students who have been fortunate enough to call Brea home for their education. The concept of Brea taking care of its own and always leaving things better than they found them is evident in the legacy that Brea has built. We are now the mantle holders and it is our job to meet the needs of the current generation and ready the school district for the next generation. I am excited to be a part of that process.
As I begin my tenure as the Superintendent of Brea Olinda Unified School District my commitment to you is to work every day with the idea of doing all I can for the students, employees and families of the district, while always striving to leave things better than I found them. I am committed to continue Brea's legacy of excellence. As I learn more about the district, its successes and its needs, I will be coming to you to share the things that we need to celebrate and things we need to address moving forward.
I look forward to meeting the people who make Brea work. I will be out in the schools and in the community to see firsthand what makes Brea so special. I am excited about our partnership and I look forward to a long relationship with the community of Brea as I work to ensure Brea students have every opportunity to learn, to grow and to excel in their education.
Brad Mason, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

Home made poly nuc box Rob?
That's the beemax nuc? And what is the entrance configuration? I see they say you can feed a litre of syrup right through the entrance hole and it goes to the bottom. And then bees store it away?
So I made a few nucs last fall and fed them until cold temps came. I put a heat tape heater under them. So far I have had three full sized hives die this winter, but I can still hear buzzing in the nucs. They are in a single 5 frame nuc with 10 lbs of dry sugar overhead. They both still have dry sugar as of two weeks ago while my full sized hives burned through two 8 frame deeps of honey plus 10 lbs of dry sugar. So my question is what the deuce gives? Why are my full sized hives having a difficult time while my nucs are plugging away? Maybe this should be a long term strategy for me. I combined a few hives last fall. Maybe I should have broke them down into nucs and attempted to winter the nucs. I know other "famous" beekeeper a have been successful at wintering nucs such as Mr. Bush and Mr. Palmer and they are in some cold climates. I'm just looking to see if anybody else has any insight or related experience with this.FYI-this spring I am going to make up poly nucs and plan on using these to winter my nucs.
the advantage of nucs comes from the geometry, nucs have less surface area than a hive, a poorly insulated hive is limited in its heat producing capacity by the maximum size cluster it can support, this is roughly limited by the height of the frames. This frame height limitation gives a surface area per bee advantage to nucs. that gives less heat loss per bee. its not much but some. better still improve the insulation with a poly nuc. But if you have an open top vent you lose all the heat gains.
I overwinter nucs here in NY in polystyrene.

It is part of the clock-tower wing of the royal residence, designed by Sir christopher wren in the 17th century.
It had been previously burnt, and rebuilt 1671 by Sir christopher wren at a cost of 200,000.
Sir christopher wren built a house for himself in this street.
The earlier throne, which the present one replaced, was designed by Sir christopher wren.
Sir christopher wren said that as he wrote not well so he wrote not ill.
He cleared away the ruins, and upon the site built a mansion, the design of which some ascribe to Sir christopher wren.
It was built according to the designs of Sir christopher wren.
The survey of the cathedral by Sir christopher wren was undertaken by his request and at his own cost.
The present church was completed from the designs of Sir christopher wren in 1686.
The cathedral was afterwards rebuilt by christopher wren, and the work of restoration is at present going on.
Old English wrenna, metathesis variation of earlier werna, a West Germanic word of uncertain origin. Cf. Icelandic rindill, Old High German wrendo, wrendilo "wren." The bird's name in other languages usually denotes "royalty" (cf. Latin regulus), in reference to its golden crest.

Listen to Mumford & Sons on iHeartRadio
(TMZ) - NO CAMERAS - it's one of the biggest strip club rules there is (after "no touching") ... and folk band Mumford & Sons allegedly violated it big time in Atlanta Tuesday night - resulting in the entire group getting the boot, TMZ reports.
Here's how it started: the band had just performed at ATL's Centennial Olympic Park and decided to hit up the famous Clermont Lounge to celebrate. It was karaoke night, and TMZ reports band member Ben Lovett took the stage to belt out a few tunes.
According to strip club sources, Ben's bandmates decided to document the occasion with their camera phones, and strip club officials freaked out, demanding they put their phones away (per the club's strict rules).
According to TMZ, the DJ had to lower the music several times to ask the band members to put their cameras away, and that really pissed off Ben ... who loudly accused the DJ of ruining his song.
Sources tell TMZ the other band members chimed in at that point, cursing out the strip club staff - so the club manager kicked the whole group out.
TMZ has obtained grainy video shot in the wake of the incident, in which you can hear a strip club employee shout, "Everybody out! Go go go!" It's pretty nuts.

2013 Green Bay Softball Schedule Released
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, WIS. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay softball team will enjoy life on the road this season as the team will play just nine games on its home diamond during the spring 2013 season, head coach Jean Rivett announced on Monday.
For the fourth-straight season, Green Bay will open the season competing in the UNI Dome Tournament in February held in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The most notable of the five games the Phoenix will play in the tournament is a matchup with Alabama, the 2012 NCAA National Champions.
"Playing Alabama will be our most challenging opportunity, but it's one we're looking forward to," Rivett said. "We truly have some very talented young ladies with a hone of softball knowledge who have been working extremely hard this offseason.
Green Bay will take a month off in between tournaments before traveling to Orlando, Fla. on March 15 to compete in the Rebel Spring Games for the third straight season. Green Bay will play 12 games while spending six days in the Sunshine State. The Phoenix is a combined 26-6 in the tournament over the past three years, including a 9-1 mark during the spring 2012 season.
Green Bay will open Horizon League play on Saturday, Mar. 23 at UIC, and play its home opener on Apr. 6 against Cleveland State. Wright State will travel to Ben Garot Field April 13-14, with the final home series coming May 4-5 against Detroit.
"Having to play most of our games on the road does bring some challenges, but we never feel it's an excuse for how we play, win or lose. Our team and coaching staff wants to prepare for and play as many games as possible, and we will never back down or shy away from competition whether at home or away," Rivett said.
Notable nonconference opponents for the spring 2013 season include Notre Dame on Mar. 28, a doubleheader with Wisconsin on Apr. 24 and a doubleheader with Minnesota on May 1 with all of these games played on the road.
Green Bay finished the 2012 season with a 23-28 record after upsetting No. 3 seed UIC in the Horizon League Tournament and eventually falling to No. 2 seed Loyola and No. 4 seed Youngstown State.

A quick Google should throw up the results you need.
Is the card detected in BT3b?
Look at "ifconfig" "iwconfig" and see if the card shows up.
Or, even try "lspci" (If lspci is a bit much, try to filter it with "lspci | grep Ethernet")
Next, search around the forums for a wealth of information on known good or bad cards. This should help to extend your possibilities.
The thing to watch is that they come with 2 different types of chipset, and only one of them is considered to be worth buying for use with BT.
You'll find more details in the respective thread

This is the worlds first and only production motorcycle helmet with built in rear-view mirror technology.We are the sole licenced distributors of reevu in Gauteng and Pretoria. We have limited stock available. You can also view the website at www.reevu-sa.com www.reevu.com . We are also on facebook http://www.facebook.com/Reevusa.
It has taken 7 years of intense research and development to perfect the rear view system that is fitted into every Reevu helmet. The patented multiple mirror system that is fitted within every Reevu helmet is a unique achievement of creative thinking and technical excellence. The mirror system is manufactured from a reflective poly-carbonate material rather than glass. Unlike glass, this material is almost impossible to break and is lighter, providing additional safety and comfort to the wearer.
Put simply, this system effectively 'bends' the light around the shape of the head – all within the molding of the helmet – to provide a clear view of the road behind. Early prototypes were met with absolute astonishment.
With rear view motorcycle helmets now in full production, this unique technology is transforming the comfort and safety of those who wear Reevu helmets.
Please inform us which helmet colour and size you would like after making your purchase, Please note that in the event you purchase a helmet and we do not have the right size and colour in stock and can not send immediately,we will order it and will advise you when you will receive it.

George Bush has a tremendous ability to ensure anyone who comes in contact with him eventually winds up being hated by the people of his country. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been a strong supporter of Bush and loyally backed the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It has now been revealed by Own Lippert, who wrote Harper's speech backing the Bush invasion of Iraq, that the speech was copied large sections from a speech given by another Bush supporter, former Australian Prime Minister John Howard. Lippert apologized fo being "over zealous in copying segments of another world leader's speech" and that Harper was not aware of what happened.
One is left wondering if Harper pays any attention to what other world leaders say on such an important issue as the Bush invasion of Iraq. How could he have failed to recognize that his words were close to those of John Howard? In one sense, the issue is minor, in another sense, it represents a major problem in 2003 when many leaders accepted everything Bush said about Iraq and never did their own investigations.

The City Controller is one of two independently elected, citywide offices in the City of Pittsburgh, the other being the Mayor. The term of office for the City Controller is four years, and is not term limited.
The City Controller is the fiscal watchdog for the citizens of the City of Pittsburgh. It is the job of the Controller to protect City tax dollars from waste, fraud and abuse. The Controller does this by auditing all city government related expenditures (the City also has a Finance Department and Treasurer who collect and audit all City revenues). The Controller also conducts audits of all City departments and City authorities such as the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), Pittsburgh Parking Authority, Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority and the Pittsburgh Housing Authority. Through audits of City departments and authorities, the Controller makes recommendations on how to make those departments more effective, efficient and how to better spend City tax dollars.
In addition to auditing City departments, the City Controller reviews and approves City contracts and is also charged with reporting to the citizens of Pittsburgh, the Mayor and City Council the state of the City's fiscal condition. Every year, the City Controller issues the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR). The CAFR provides detailed information on Pittsburgh's short-term and long-term financial outlook.
Lastly, the City Controller sits on the boards of the city's Municipal Pension Fund and the Comprehensive Municipal Fund.
Core Services
Accounting - Incorporates all financial data into the Controller's financial information system, performs bank reconciliations, transfers of funds, and code account creation. Prepares monthly reports of revenues, quarterly reports of expenditures, and a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.
Accounts Payable - Audits City government related expenditures and provides payment to City vendors, audits all City contracts for specs before countersignature by Controller and digitizes all contracts, audits and payment documentation for support checks. Also accepts bids to be awarded for contracts.
Performance Audit - Conducts audits of City departments and authorities (URA, Parking, Stadium, etc.) to ensure that program goals and objectives are being met; to test for compliance with applicable laws; and to make constructive recommendations for improvement.
Fiscal Audit - Performs fiscal reviews of City departments and authorities, typically analyzing revenues and expenditures. Audits the City's imprest and trust fund accounts.
Engineering - Inspects and audits engineering, architectural, construction and demolition contracts during and after completion of projects.

tgentry wrote:Here's an example: you can create a character that slightly resembles Garfield to do a parody about Garfield. You can't create your own comic strip with a character that looks like Garfield if you're not parodying the original comic. That's the difference. On the one hand you're commenting on someone else's intellectual property, on the other you're infringing upon it. If the artist was clearly parodying Mini Moose I doubt it would have been rejected (as long as there were some clear visual differences between the the new version from the original). As it is the character looks a lot like the original without any commentary or parody of it.
This shirt doesn't look at all like minimoose. If somebody draws a cartoon of an orange cat with black stripes, that doesn't automatically make it an infringement of intellectual property. Learn to not be afraid of corporations all the time, geeze.

Re: BLACK LANDS NATIONAL PARK
Fantastic illustration, definitely a contender in my mind.
The resemblence is vague. The only merit of this shirt that warrants rejection is perhaps being off-topic. Seems more like a comment on animals/accidents than a comment on national parks.
Not that ii should be rejected. Just sayin is all.

Also, I put the picture next to another one I found.

Dang, I just did this. And you're right--several designs with the same concept already exist. Not the exact same execution, but then the rejectionator often rejects for concept (the dandelion rejections come to mind).
It's too bad--I liked this one. And, being unfamiliar with the meme, I thought it was pretty original. Maybe a resub with more of an oval, like some have suggested above, is in order?
