The Perfect Desktop - Mandriva One 2009.0 With GNOME
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Mon, 2008-10-13 18:11. :: Mandriva | Desktop
The Perfect Desktop - Mandriva One 2009.0 With GNOME
Version 1.0
This tutorial shows how you can set up a Mandriva One 2009.0 desktop (with the GNOME desktop environment) that is a full-fledged replacement for a Windows desktop, i.e. that has all the software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions that works even on old hardware, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.
I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
To fully replace a Windows desktop, I want the Mandriva One 2009.0 desktop to have the following software installed:
Sound & Video:
I'm using the Mandriva One 2009.0 CD in this tutorial to set up the system. You can find the download here: http://www.mandriva.com/en/download, e.g. mandriva-linux-one-2009-GNOME-int-cdrom-i586.iso. The procedure might differ if you use the Mandriva Free 2009.0 CDs or DVD instead of Mandriva One 2009.0.
I will use the username falko in this tutorial, and I will download all necessary files to falko's desktop which is equivalent to the directory /home/falko/Desktop. If you use another username (which you most probably do ;-)), please replace falko with your own username. So when I use a command like
cd /home/falko/Desktop
you must replace falko.
2 Installing The Base System
Download the Mandriva One 2009.0 CD iso image from http://www.mandriva.com/en/download, burn it onto a CD, and boot your computer from it. At the boot prompt, select Boot Mandriva Linux 2009:
The system will now boot into a live system from where you can install Mandriva to your hard drive. Before we can see the live desktop, we have to answer a few questions.
First, choose your language:
Accept the Mandriva license:
Select your timezone:
Select your time. Under Advanced, you can enable Automatic time synchronization (using NTP):
Select your keyboard layout:
Finally, the live desktop starts. To install Mandriva One 2009.0 to your hard drive, click on the Live Install icon:
The installation wizard starts. Click on Next:
Mandriva's default partitioning scheme is ok for our purposes, so you can select Use free space (if you want to set up your own partitioning scheme, select Custom disk partitioning instead). Afterwards the hard drive will be partitioned.
Click on Next to remove unnecessary packages from the installation:
Afterwards, the system is being installed to your hard drive. This can take a few minutes, so please be patient:
Afterwards we have to configure the bootloader. The default settings are ok, so we can click on Next:
The default boot menu entries are ok as well, so we click on Finish:
Click on Finish to complete the installation:
To use our new installation, we must reboot and remove the Mandriva CD from our CD drive. Log out of the current desktop session (System > Shut Down...), then select Restart Computer from the upcoming menu:
Afterwards, select Boot Mandriva Linux 2009 from the botloader menu (or wait a few seconds):
During the first boot, you have to select your country again:
Also during the first boot, the system is adding online repositories to its configuration:
Afterwards, provide a root password and create a regular user account (e.g. falko) and click on Next:
The First Time wizard comes up. You can use it to create an account with the Mandriva user community, answer a survey, submit your hardware details to Mandriva, etc.. Click on Next:
If you don't want to submit any details, click on Decline on each of the following three screens:
This is how your new Mandriva 2009.0 desktop looks:

text: The Texas Supreme Court issued a ruling (PDF) today that found public sector employees do not have a right to union representation during meetings with supervisors where the employee believes the interview may result in disciplinary action. The ruling overturned an appeals court decision of a 2008 case that involved the Round Rock Fire Department. "We are pleased with the Supreme Court decision, which answered an important question regarding the ability of public-sector supervisors to carry out their day-to-day responsibilities," City Manager Steve Norwood said. "While the incident that spawned the case was resolved nearly four years ago, the issue of public employees in Texas having the right to request union representation in any meeting they believe 'may' result in discipline was not settled until today's decision."In July 2008, then-Round Rock Fire Chief Larry Hodge called Firefighter Jaime Rodriguez into his office to discuss whether Rodriguez misused sick leave earlier that month to get a physical examination to pursue employment elsewhere. Rodriguez requested union representation at the meeting, which Hodge denied. At a subsequent meeting, Rodriguez agreed to a five-day suspension.Three months later, Rodriguez and the Round Rock Association of Professional Firefighters filed suit alleging Hodge and the City of Round Rock violated Rodriguez's right to union representation.The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling authored by Justice Paul W. Green, stated the Texas Legislature has not granted that right under Section 101.001 of the Texas Labor Code.Hodge subsequently retired from the City in 2011, and Rodriguez remains with the Fire Department, holding the rank of Driver.

Discuss other upcoming Jim Carrey movies.
i'm confused about the Stooges gig..............first he's in........then he's 'officially' out............then he porks up and grows a beard and some sites say it's for Curly...........so is he in or out?????......and is it official if he is in now??
"Jim Carrey Shows Off Fuller Figure For 'Three Stooges'"
The comedian has promised to gain 40-50 pounds for his role as Curly in "The Three Stooges"- and he showed off a chubbier figure on Thursday night at UCLA's 2009 Visionary Ball in Beverly Hills.
Ok i am very very confused frist Jim did not get the part WHAT??
Ok to make it easy ok
Did Jim get that part YES or NO TELL ME !! plz
I'm in LOVE with him and I Feel Fine
They need to ask Jim instead of relying on Jenny for information. Nothing against Jenny, but Jim knows more about his carreer than Jenny.
Did I spell carreer right?
To God, every living being is beautiful... Except for you.
The quotes they are using from Jenny are old
Yes the quotes are from April. There is still not a new interview with Jim where he mention "The Three Stooges". And if Jim is preparing for the role, why did the Farrelly-brothers then say that Jim was out in interviews last month. I am confused.
"Dumb and Dumber To"
In theaters! Check JCO's Movie Area: http://jimcarreyonline.com/movies/dumbndumber2.html
when there's this much contradiction over a movie, I'd say "No, there's no way in hell this Stooges movie is going to be made." sorry to be so negative but I wouldn't even believe Jim if he said "Yes, it's coming." Ripley's not coming either. But don't take my word for it. This is just a big feeling I have.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says it "strongly condemns" the wave of violence in Egypt and says Egyptian leaders should make clear that violence is not acceptable.
White House press secretary Jay Carney says President Barack Obama's administration welcomes "serious calls for national dialogue."
Islamist President Mohammed Morsi has tried to contain the crisis by imposing a state of emergency in three Egyptian provinces.
The Egyptian military has deployed troops in two cities hit by the violence. The main opposition in the country says that Morsi and Islamists have tried to impose a monopoly on power.
At least 56 people have been killed in clashes between protesters and riot police.
Carney said Egypt needs to find a lasting solution that "adheres to the rights of all Egyptians."

Standard on Zutano rootstock.
A compact Mexicola type avocado. Black ripening, thin skin fruit.
Click here to learn about the importance of A and B pollinator types.
Note that the photo is of a Hass avocado.
Planting Location and Planting Steps
Avocado trees can be grown in containers for a few years, and indoors as foliage plants. For successful fruit production, they are best grown in the ground in well drained soil, in sunny, wind free locations. Do not plant a new avocado tree in a space where an old tree had died as the soil may be contaminated. If you have heavy clay soil, we recommend planting your avocado tree in a raised bed (12-18"). Avocados have a very sensitive root system and all care should be taken when removing the plant from the pot. Have your transplanting hole or container prepared in advance ready to receive the avocado tree. Cut the pot on opposite sides to peel back the container from the root and soil mass. Do not disturb the root in any way! Plant above the grade, on a mound, as is recommended for many other trees.
In containers, avocados need consistent and frequent watering. Avocados in the ground prefer infrequent deep root watering. It is best to allow trees to somewhat dry out before you apply water again, to avoid root rot. Test your soil before each watering to determine the best rate of application for your location.
To help retain soil moisture and improve soil quality, apply a 3 to 4 inch layer of mulch in spring and fall under the canopy of the tree, keeping the mulch away from the trunk of the tree.
Pinching and Pruning
Avocados can be maintained to any size with pinching and pruning. Frequent pinching of young trees is a good method to shape the tree, rather than heavy pruning. Prune to shape and control size on larger trees. Avocado trees can be susceptible to sunburn on the trunks of newly pruned trees so you can whitewash with interior white latex paint, diluted 50-50 with water during periods of high summer heat and intense sunshine.
Avocado trees should be fed on a regular basis. Fertilize with well balanced citrus/avocado food using the manufacturer's recommendations. Avocado trees that have been fed year-round are better able to deal with cold temperatures in the winter.
Frost Protection
When expecting a freeze, frost protection should be used. If trees are small enough then a frost cloth can be framed around the young tree. Christmas lights or landscape lights can be incorporated for best results. Controlling the size of the tree for the home gardener is important in maintaining a reasonable shape to make frost protection possible.

Best time to travel Bali, Indonesia visit
Lizl Anthonissen
September 2008
According to you what is the best time to visit Bali and what are the most definite things to do that time of year? I am planning to travel to Indonesia in April
Also any advice on Watersports and other Activities?
September 2008
Hi Lizl,
Generally, the best time to travel to Indonesia is during the dry season, between April and October. Bali has numerous, year-round, attractions to offer: reef snorkelling, diving, surfing, cultural sights, and of course sun tanning on the white-sand beaches. Other water sports include fishing, kayaking, water-skiing, cruising and dolphin viewing. The only limit is your imagination!
See the wordtravels.com
Travel Guide to Bali
for more information on what to see and do in Bali.
January 2009
I would also suggest to go in July/August. Just great then! Don´t miss the Mola Mola
May 2009
Anyone can Help to know how much does it cost to travel Bali for 3-4 days? Include Hotel and food cost...
June 2009
In Australian dollars you can stay in a Home stay for Au$10(70,000 rupiah) per night this offer bed, fan and cold water shower upwards if you want air conditioning and hot water expect to pay from Au$40 approx(300,000 Rupiah upwards) per night. This will often include breakfast and cleaning. If you are considering choosing Hotel when you get there this is the lower end and of course your high end Hotels can be around Au$150 per night (from 1000 000 Rupiah)
These prices are for the Tuban, Kuta, Legian and Seminyak area. Nusa Dua and Sanur are similar in price. Some good deals often appear with travel agents for flight and accommodation, saw one last week for $875.00 flights and 4 nights. Hope this helps
June 2009
Thanks Shelley...surely it will giv me an idea...I appreciate it
June 2009
You say July August is best time to travel. We can only go late November. Will is still be sunny? and what time of day does it rain?
July 2009
Hi I want to visit Bali in September, my question is it safe? after the bombings in Jakarta this month and the 2005 Bali bombing Im a little scared of what might happen next...how is the security on the island? are there places you should avoid? Thanks!
July 2009
We went after each bombing, security really good especially in hotels. We just went May, weather was perfect, also been September October - hot
December - wet.
There are good deals with Airasia at the moment for flights
July 2009
I'm also wondering if Bali is worth visiting in November or will it just rain constantly?
October 2009
I always recommend all my friends and associates to visit Bali during the dry season. May, June and July are generally considered to be the best time to travel to Bali in terms of the weather.
jo cooper
October 2009
Bali is great at any time, it never disappoints.
Visit Tanah Lot, to see the sunset, elephant ride, Bali danceshow, monkey forest, ubud is great for shopping and
Kuta is great for nightlife and shopping
Visit Jimbaran for the seafood restaurants on the beach and enjoy a Bali Hai dinner cruise
We stayed at the Hard Rock at Kuta and the security was really tight, so many westerners there, relaxed atsmosphere
Have Fun!
November 2009
Is Kuta in Sept/Oct cooler than Phuket in April
December 2009
i am going to bali for five months for my studing.But I am a little scared.some people say it is dangerous o go there.what do you think?
December 2009
Hi Sally, when are you coming to Bali? It's not a dangerous place at all! I am an Indonesian and I go there once/ twice a year to relax
You can contact me to email@example.com. I have some friends there that might be able to help you around.
January 2010
Is it a good time to visit Bali at the end of February?
I like diving and snorkelling, but I hate cold water. Is the water cold in Bali at the end of Feb?
Thanks thanks~!
February 2010
Hi Tina,
End of February is still the wet season in Bali. I have been to Bali and Komodo Islands twice in the month of March. March is towards the end of the Wet Season but still beautiful, lush and green! I do not think the water around Bali is cold....most of all my dives were out in Lombak and Komodo Islands which was very cold! However, the diving I did in Tulemben Bay (NE Bali) was excellent and the water was warm.
If you need any assistance arranging travel, diving or accommodations, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at email@example.com.
Have a great day!

I´m getting married next March 19th. Is the end of March and the beginning of April a good time to visit the islands and enjoy the beach? Thanks to all

Dear All, I am really impressed to read all the discussion about Bali.
I am a licensed travel agent in Bali. If you all want to have more information about Bali, please don't hesitate to contact me at email@example.com. Website : www.guidebali.com. I will be glad to deliver you the most adequate information about beloved Bali island.
FYI : Dry season in Indonesia start from April to September, and rainy season start from October until March. However when the dry season the whether is still humid, while in the rainy season, not so many rain happens. Only in December is the most raining day, but still we have days to travel around and to do any other activities.
Thanks to all
September 2010
One of the reasons that Bali is such a great destination is that you can travel at any time of the year and still enjoy lots of sunshine!
Yes, it is true that the dry season is from April to September, and the rainy season is from October to March. However, when it is the wet season it isn't all that wet! There are downpours but then the sky clears again and the sun usually comes out. It isn't the same as the rainy season in other areas of South East Asia.
So, in answer to all your queries, it is fine to travel to Indonesia in February, March, April, September and November:)
In terms of the temperature of the sea surrounding Bali, it is generally nice and warm throughout the year.

Hi I am supoose to be travelling to Bali on the 22nd of March - April 2nd 2011 for (5 nights bali and 5 in Lombok). I know nothing is for certain but is it worth my while or should I stay in Malaysia/Thailand. I really don't wanna go if it rains.
December 2010
Hi Guys,
I see a couple of tour operators have already posted on here and I don't want to be the guy who's bombing a blog with advertising but I thought I could offer some advice perhaps that may be of some help. I am Australian but I own a booking website for Bali holiday accommodation and we also build quality houses there which we sell to foreigners who want a cheap house in Bali for themselves.
To throw a spanner in the works, my favourite time to go to Bali is January/February. OK so dry season is mid year yes and we all know that's the time to go. I used to love Kuta during this time when I was 16 chasing girls who just wore cutoff jean shorts and bintang singlets but now I am over that scene and try to avoid extreme crowds so January February suits me perfect when there's still plenty of tourists but not quite as crazy and hectic. Here's what it's like in the wet season, it doesn't just rain constantly. The average day will be warm and sunny and if you live at the beach you will tan up and start looking like an indonesian! In the evening, sit on your balcony and watch the thunder storm clouds roll in.. The most tremendous lightning shows on the planet! Then yes, it will bucket down with rain for a couple of hours which is excellent because it cools everything down and then it moves on. If you get caught in it it's just life and you can duck into a bar or whatever and wait till it clears. Or what normally happening is there will miraculously be umbrella salesmen everywhere and you can buy an umbrella for a couple of dollars but really the rain comes and goes. So you get the sunshine with the thunderstorms. The whole place feels alive and I just love it.
With regards to "Is it dangerous?" Bali is one place on earth where I feel completely safe. The Balinese are as upset as we are about what happened in the past. I always partied at the club which got bombed and I had friends in Bali at the time so it's close to home for me too but I know for a fact this was a random incident by a bunch of extremists. Since then there has been major security measures put in place in Bali as there has been throughout the world. This doesn't make me feel as safe as I do just because the people there as a whole have a loving and peaceful nature. You should concern yourself with something else from now on because you will be safe in Bali. Of course people who look for trouble can find it anywhere but in general you'll be fine.
Also one more thing to note on time of year, In the "off season" everything is cheaper including accommodation, a fair bit cheaper too which we all like. Remember if you are a surfer the bigger swells are in the peak season (mid year) but you will get waves all year round. You will of course see Kuta Beach and the tourism centre there, ten minutes north of that is Seminyak which is more boutiquey shops and cafes. In the south West you have Dreamland area mainly for surfers and Uluwatu temple where the monkeys are everywhere. If it's your first time, driving is scary. Take a couple of days to get used to the roads and then hire a scooter if you're brave and just do everything slow and you should be ok. Or hire a driver to take you around for the day for about $20-$30 including car and driver. Then you can go up to Ubud inland a bit and check out the art capital and rivers and mountain. There are hundreds of places to stay in Bali, each one different. We normally get the cheapest contract rates and can hook you up for whatever your budget.
My favourite place in Bali which you just must go and see is heading West from Denpasar about an hour and a half away a little place called Medewi. Just like what all of Bali was like 25 years ago, amazing. Expect to pay from $30 per night there for accommodation and then everything else costs next to nothing. Medewi is just a small beach in the middle of nowhere which is a great place to try surfing for the first time if there in the off season and the people are incredible. Unparralleled sunsets over the Indian Ocean and a spiritual sense that cannot be explained here. Get over there and enjoy it guys! I wish I could show you all around. I hope this helps. Any questions (even if you aren't booking through us, advice and smiles are free!) please email me email@example.com

I've been working for several years with out a good vacation. A friend of mine here in the states recommended Bali. Now, I'm well traveled having served in the Navy and I have visited Hawaii several times and really didn't like it.
I'm planning on going in mid to late Sept... I'm single so finding a good place to visit for the solo traveler is challenging, Bali seems like the right place so far.
I enjoy scuba, sailing, snorkeling, making new friends, hiking and adventures. I'll be honest, meeting someone special during the trip would be welcomed. But more importantly experiencing something almost spiritual, adjusting my latitude (as Jimmy Buffett says), making good friends and seeing something spectacular is my priority.
I would like to stay close enough to the nightlife to enjoy but not in the middle of it. I'm not 21 but not an old man either. Any suggestions on a nice hotel, beach front or view with reasonable rates? the rates seem good but would like to get suggestions on hotels.
I like Nicks idea about the off seasons, pricing and crowds.. Would mid to late Sept be considered off season or the end of peak?

This is a great time to visit Bali. There will be some celebrations in the big cities and busy areas of the island like Denpasar and Kuta but the rest of the island will not be too effected. If you visit these areas hotel prices and availabilty may vary so make you check in advance.

January 2012
hi, im yudha from indonesia, i live in jakarta
There is much to do in bali. From shopping to sightseeing to just chilling. If your into souvenirs, you can go, almost everywhere has a souvenir tall. You can also check out their malls like Bali Mal, Galleria (duty-free) and much more.
There are also department stores like sogo and centrino in Bali Kartika Plaza near Kuta and Matahari in Bali Mal, the stuff there are pretty nice, and the prices are pretty good. Dont forget Kuta street and all the shoplots around it.
You can also take a tour of the island. they'll take you to a lot of places like aromatheraphy orchard, temples, cultural shows and sights.
Lastly, the beach. Its nice enough in Kuta, although it can't beat the private beaches of nusa dua or the bay of jimbaran.
stayed there, in AHIMSA (great, totally off beat)
So, enjoy your trip, its a nice place to be.
If you have anymore questions like about hotels or anything else in jakarta and bali,just mail me at (firstname.lastname@example.com).

The probability of encountering heavy showers and high humidity is highest from December to March. From June to September, the humidity is low and thus there is little rain in lowland coastal areas. Typically, tourists flock to Bali during the dry season (May to September) and some hotels may charge a peak season rate. If you would like to avoid the crowd, you may visit Bali in April or October which are the months between the wet and dry season.
August 2012
I'm planning to travel to Bali on September 4th and I've heard that time is the rainy and cloudy.is it true or not???
January 2013
I had been living in Bali for 2 years. Here is my recommendation: January until early March is a rainy seasons and also low season after new year eve, so you can get lower fare for hotel. End of March-Early June is one of the best seasons since not many tourist around, so you can enjoy Bali without any traffic jam especially in Kuta. Mid June-July is big holiday season for Indonesian, so pretty much hectic with local tourists. June-August, you may find windy nights and also highly recommended time to visit Bali. Sept-December would be also the high season with sunny days all around, Australians are everywhere since its becoming their first getaway for the youngsters.
Bali offers many things from culture (dance,painting), dining, night life & eco travel. There are two annual conferences for writers & yoga enthusiasts in Ubud.
If you enjoy the water sport, Bali is heaven for its colorful collar and fishes. One of the best is Menjangan Island, breathtaking underwater experience, Amed and also Tulamben for the beginners.
Be careful when you're using money exchange in Kuta street. Nusa Dua & Jimbaran are great places to explore the best beaches in the island of gods.

I would like to go to bali on next year Feb'14 because of promotion flight. Is it suitable for us to go? and compulsory they will be raining for everyday??
April 2013
Best Season to Visit Bali - Bali experiences tropical weather all throughout the year due to its location near the equator. Tourists keep coming on to Bali all round the year in search of relax and peaceful holidays. So it's very important to know in advance when to visit Bali in Indonesia. Bali is an all season place as far as weather is concerned. However there are certain months in a year when it's become to humid in Bali. The ideal season to visit Bali is between March and September. This period is best for beach lovers as the day temperature remains good. It may rain sometimes during the day but it will fresh the air and bring more joy and fun for the tourists.
Where to Stay and Party in Bali:
The biggest resorts are the party towns of Kuta and Legian, with the more subdued beaches at Lovina and Candi Dasa. Most visitors also spent time in Ubud, whose mainstays continued to be paintings, carving, dancing and music making. The islands east of Bali, called Nusa Tenggara, also attract big crowds, particularly Lombok, with its beautiful beaches and temples.

Jenson Button reckons a lack of balance cost him during qualifying for the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Showing signs of improvement throughout the weekend's practice sessions, Button was unable to turn that into a solid qualifying peformance.
While his team-mate Sergio Perez put his car up into ninth place, the Brit failed to make it into Q3.
Button will line-up 13th on the Hungaroring grid, citing a lack of balance as his biggest problem on Saturday.
"On old tyres the car was well balanced," Button told the BBC. "You stick new tyres on and it changes the balance of car.
"We've done a good job of adding downforce to this car but balance is tricky."
He added: "Perez did a good job."

pass....give me Chase Thomas
players who rise or fall based on workouts, generally are the busts (if they rise) and steals (if they fall)... 1.17, steal... i'll take it...
2013 MNF Executive Champion!
Team Needs, 2015 Draft (In order of need): CB, NT, OLB, FS, DE
Yup, I think they are very close to being the same player. Jones is a 'football player' so is Thomas but he has no health concerns and is available 2 rounds later.
Player Name Solo Ast Tot Loss Sk Int Yds Avg TD PD FR Yds TD FF
Jarvis Jones: 96 72 168 45.5 28.0 1 21 21.0 0 6 0 0 0 9
Player Name: Solo Ast Tot Loss Sk Int Yds Avg TD PD FR Yds TD FF
Chase Thomas: 145 84 229 50.5 27.5 2 2 1.0 0 8 1 7 1 9
Thomas started 3 years, Jones started 2. Jones rushes the passer better stat-wise but I would bet based off what i have seen that Thomas dropped in coverage more and had less opportunities to rush, plus he is better against the run.
Edit *sorry the stats are hard to read couldn't get the formatting to stay*

Perhaps Jones is "sandbagging" just a little so that he goes to a better team.
Playing Fantasy Football does not qualify you to be the in the front office or on the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They are professionals and you are not!
Will Jarvis Jones draw more of the offenses attention playing next to Lamarr Woodley and Lawrence Timmons with Troy Polamalu floating around...
...or surrounded by Paul Poslusny, Geno Hayes, and the rest of the Jaguars no-name defence?
Watching tape of Jones on youtube, the Alabama game in particular, he was a beast while pass rushing, forcing fumbles and getting after the QB. He was a liability against the run, getting pushed around and even picked on as they chose to run his way more often than not.
He isn't really comparable to Harrison because while Harrison has been a workout warrior that was rumored to be the strongest Steeler, Jones is rumored to be a guy that doesn't like to workout.
IMO, his ability to beat tackles 1 on 1, reap havoc in the back field and force fumbles makes him worth 1.17, but he will need to get busy in the weight room, and get much stronger than his 20 reps to reach his potential in the NFL.
BnB Mock 2014
1. Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State
2. Allen Robinson, WR, Penn State
3. Dominique Easley, DT, Florida
4. Phillip Gaines, CB, Rice
5. Jordan Zumwalt, ILB, UCLA
5. Jerick McKinnon, RB, Georgia Southern
6. Prince Shembo, OLB, Notre Dame
6. Beau Allen, NT, Wisconsin
7. Shaquille Richardson, CB, Arizona (went to BnB's Los Alamitos High School)
Another AS masterpiece.
Here is another point I got for you guys. Jones is used to just being good. No real need to train hard. Does he have the drive to get better in the NFL? Or will he get fat & lazy. Could he end up like Woodley? Small health problems leading to a sloopy player that has derailed a good career. This new generation of players seem to be happy to get paid and not care about being champs and killing it in the NFL. Need more Harrisons who work for it.

Worst Travel Agent (makemytrip.com) and Customer Service Experience EVER!
Posted by
The experience I have had with makemytrip folks has been by far the worst ever customer service that I have experienced or heard of! I must've talked to about 8 different support individuals at makemytrip.com over 28 hours period, on the phone most of the time, and to my amazement none of them focused on addressing the original request of reissuing the ticket and getting a new e-ticket number in a timely manner. I can't help but believe that all these folks I talked to at makemytrip.com were incompetent in reissuing a new e-ticket number, but I'm also very tempted to believe that there was some other internal policy that encouraged all these folks to refrain from providing a new e-ticket number... all this for some personal gain at the expense of the customer - my mother in this particular case! It's a shame that it took about 28 hours for the 8+ folks at their end to simply reissue the ticket and provide a new e-ticket number, despite numerous requests from myself and the ticketing agents to provide the same! Makemytrip.com has deeply troubled my mother and I doubt she will ever be comfortable traveling international again. All the other family members and friends have also been concerned with all this to the extent that we will definitely not do or recommend anybody to do business with makemytrip.
I thought it necessary to let the world know of the impression makemytrip has imprinted on one customer and their family and friends. It's a shame that such companies are thriving despite their incompetence and total disregard to the customer whose money they are building their lives off of.
If there are zero changes to your originally issued ticket, you may be fine, but if there is any change, and you need assistance from makemytrip.com, they will most likely put you through hell!!!
Below is my email to Customer Care at makemytrip.com. So far no response from the makemytrip customer care regarding my below email, but I'm not surprised. If any of you folks want the full story, feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will be glad to share the details and names of the makemytrip folks I talked to.
Dear Customercare (@makemytrip.com),
I am providing you feedback on my experience with the makemytrip (800-463-4210).
I had purchased a round-trip ticket from makemytrip.com for my mother to travel from India to visit me in the US. On the day of her originally scheduled return (Dec 2, 2009) from Portland (PDX) to Vishakhapatnam (VTZ), all her flights were confirmed. At the time of check-in at the PDX airport on Dec. 2nd, we were told at the ticketing counter that they were unable to view or print the ticket due to the following message on their computer: "9W ETKT - Display restricted by 9W".
The ticketing agent told us that the ticket needed to be "re-issued" and they needed a "new e-ticket number" to resolve the issue. They called makemytrip.com and I also called makemytrip.com separately to request the same. We had about 2 hours before the flight departure, but unfortunately the makemytrip folks did not reissue the ticket as requested and my mother missed the original flight. There was another flight a couple hours later the same day and I hoped that we could get a new eticket number at least by then, but again makemytrip folks failed to do that. In the process, to my amazement, while most others were relatively polite, one of the female representatives at makemytrip actually hung up the phone on the ticketing agent in frustration! The effect of this incompetence was not on the ticketing agent, but on the customer - my mother. After several hours on the phone and after missing the 2nd flight, I requested the tickets be reissued for the next day and was clearly told by them that they will provide me the new e-ticket number.
We went home and I was on the phone with makemytrip.com for several more hours the rest of the day, asking for the reissued ticket and the new eticket number. In the end, the schedule was changed to the next day with LH752 waitlisted, but I was provided with the exact same e-ticket number as the one that had caused the issue in the beginning. The next morning, before heading out to the airport I asked them and they confidently said that there will be no issues and that I should go to the airport and then check-in, rather than attempting to check-in online at home. I reached the airport a couple hours earlier than the flight again. To my disappointment, the issue from the previous day was still not resolved. The ticketing agent again clearly stated that they needed a new e-ticket number. I passed on this message again very clearly to makemytrip folks, but unfortunately despite repeatedly mentioning that my mother is old and traveling on wheelchair assistance, and couldn't stay legally in the US another day, they still did not issue a new eticket number and she again missed the scheduled flight. I then asked them to let me speak with their supervisor, but they wouldn't let me. Finally, after much more time, one of the supervisors called me gave me a new e-ticket number for a different flight the same day. This resolved the original issue and the ticketing agent could now print the ticket. However, the time between the connecting flights in Frankfurt was not enough and my mother missed the connecting flight from Frankfurt. She had no choice but to be seated in wheelchair with no food or any other assistance from the airline for another 24 hours. On top of that, when she reached Shamshabad, she was asked to pay for the ticket to VTZ 'cause they couldn't find her reservation. I called the airlines directly and got this resolved in the end.
The experience I have had with makemytrip folks has been by far the worst ever customer service that I have experienced or heard of! I must've talked to about 8 different support individuals at makemytrip.com over 28 hours period, on the phone most of the time, and to my amazement none of them focused on addressing the original request of reissuing the ticket and getting a new e-ticket number in a timely manner.

It's a shame that it took about 28 hours for the 8+ folks at their end to simply reissue the ticket and provide a new e-ticket number, despite numerous requests from myself and the ticketing agents to provide the same! What the supervisor did after 28 hours is what should've been done right from the beginning. Makemytrip.com has deeply troubled my mother and I doubt she will ever be comfortable traveling international again. All the other family members and friends have also been concerned with all this to the extent that we will definitely not do or recommend anybody to do business with makemytrip.

All of these "discount" airline ticket sites are messed up. I always just buy directly from the airline - saves a lot of aggravation and time.

Definitely a spot on review regarding Makemytrip. This company is TERRIBLE. They have issues with their website which can result in faulty ticketing and NO FLIGHT. The so-called 'customer service' is absolutely unhelpful - though they may assure you 'everything will be OK and we'll call you in 6 hours to confirm your flight' there is a high probability you'll never hear from them again and your flight will be lost. Though the fault will be entirely from their end, they will still charge you 'admin fees' for a flight you never had, and never had a chance of being on.

10 days after emailing my above complaint to email@example.com (they had asked me to email to this address) I received an email from makemytrip. Guess what? This email was a feedback request from makemytrip on the travel experience. Apparently they ask for feedback and then disregard it completely and then they ask again and then disregard again. What a pathetic company!

Cancellation Fees Way Overcharged
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- I booked 3 tickets to India from Newark, NJ to Ahmedabad, India and return flight for June 26th, 2010. For unavoidable reason I needed to cancel these tickets. I called them to inquire about the fees and I was told $375 which include their $50 cancellation fee plus $325 by AirIndia. This seemed high becaue I had Refundable tickets so I called AirIndia (gave my PNR) twice and both time different agents told me that the fee is $200 plus the agency cancellation fee listed on my confirmation (which clearly states $50 per passanger). After second call to makemytrip.com at 800-463-4210and questioning why I am asked to pay $175 more than the airline cancellation charge, I was asked to hohd and Anuska (agent) told me that it will be only $325 per passanger. So I asked why it is way higher than it should be and told her that AirIndia agent told me that I should not be charged more than $250 per passanger. So she hanged up on me. I called back and this time I got Rohit on phone to whom I explained the fee overcharge then he said because they are gettinj discount from AirIndia, by cancellating this ticket they will loose it and that is why. I told him that but that does not have to do anything with the cancallation fee I am getting charges. I asked him that makemytrip should charge the actual fees and not inflated fees so that in future the customer comes back to reserve the tickets again. So after making me on hold he says that he talked to somebody whom agreed to forgo $50 for each passanger and onlyu charge me $300 per passanger, I said but last agent told me $325 so $50 minus will be $275, he said no it will be $300 or I need to call AirIndia and ask them to put a note in their system for this PNR that they will charge $200 cancellation charge and he said when I call back they will look it up and charge $250 for each.
I called AirIndia and they said they can not leave any note in their system and to ask for that by an agency is absurd as they know it can not be done and a way of overcharging fees to customer.
I think this MakeMyTrip.com is unfair in charging execss fees to customer and I ask readers to think twice before booking with such agency. I will caution one more thing that this agency charges your credit card in India so you will be paying extra 3% to your credit card bank for foreign transaction fees on top of ticket charges.
Hope this helps someone.

Very very poor customer service. Booked my ticket to India in April of 2009 for June travel. Gave my credit card info at the time of reservation. My credit card was not charged but did they did not issue me a ticket also. Talked to 5 different representative 2 supervisors and endless talk without result for 2 weeks. finally they were willing to issue me same ticket with $ 150.00 more... Seems like they were buying the time, stalling then sell the ticket when fare gets higher.
I felt like cheated.... Never use their service again and never ever recommend to any one.

Alley Makemytrip.com is mainly used by people from India living in America to get cheap tickets to go back and see their families. And I guess by the language in this complaint that this is one of them.
He does have a good point why wasn't his card charged and his tickets issued until after the price went up? I know that I would be pissed if I went to book tickets on Cheaptickets.com and they did the same thing. There are windows where if you buy then prices will be lower and after a certain date prices will be higher for the same date.

Fraud Alert, Customer Service, Ticket Prices
Posted by
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- Please refrain from buying airline tickets from Makemytrip.com. They lure you with lower prices and then for days keep on saying that the ticket will be issued in 1 hour and after 72 hours inform that they cannot deliver the tickets at the price that they confirmed while taking credit card/driver's license/passport information. Moreover since they charge in rupees so a 3% currency transaction fee is charged by the credit cards. They are dishonest and unprofessional. They take your personal information and may misuse them for criminal activities. Do not give your passport / driver's license information.
I wonder why nobody is taking any action against them. There should be a class-action suit against them and they should be banned from doing business in any of the first world countries where customer satisfaction is of utmost importance.

Your first clue was it is a company in India. Your class action lawsuit will do nothing here as they are not subject to American law.
Stop being an easy mark. Use your intelligence next time. Book travel directly with airlines and hotels.

Online they only book flights that originate on weekends. I've never seen an booking online agent that doesn't offer to book flights on weekdays. And if you can't afford the fare they offer financing through HSBC. That's something I've never seen. Maybe it's normal for India. Who knows? Anyway, here's is their NY office info:

What do you mean by "may misuse them for criminal activities?"

Dang it, juscuz, you beat me to it! As I was reading this letter, that's the first thing that popped into my head.

One should never "misuse info for criminal activities"...they should always use the info PROPERLY for criminal activities! The nerve of them! OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!

Be cautious of booking trips on the phone

Wish I had read these reports before making my reservation yesterday. I gave my credit card number to them to make a reservation and now am feeling unsafe doing that. Plus, the customer service representative I spoke to, also threatened to LEAK MY CARD NUMBER! Be careful and deal with caution.

Booked a ticket Chennai from USA. Got the confirmation, after a week they were saying there were some technical difficulties and would not able to process the tickets. Collected all the personal information. Beware of this site.

10 Unusual Eggnog-Flavored Foods
From candies and cookies to a savory roast, the smorgasbord of delicious foods available this time of year is hard to beat. But it's the signature combination of creamy cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg flavors that make eggnog one of the most indulgent of all (especially with an added dash of brandy or rum for those old enough). For those of you who can't get enough of it, youre in luck. There are all kinds of treats, from bubblegum to popcorn, that emulate eggnog's classic, creamy taste. Go ahead and try one of these eggnog edibles while you can.
By Olivia Putnal
Candy Corn
Candy corn isnt just for Halloween anymore. Now you can get it at Christmastime too! Instead of orange and white, these yellow, white, and brown-colored mellocreme nuggets are the perfect way to enjoy eggnog on the go!
