- Identify, compare, and analyze attributes of two-and three-dimensional shapes and develop vocabulary to describe the attributes.
- Classify two- and three- dimensional shapes according to their properties and develop definitions of classes of shapes such as triangles and pyramids.
- Investigate, describe, and reason about the results of subdividing, and transforming shapes.
- Explore congruence and similarity.
Students will:
- Demonstrate their knowledge of angles, quadrilaterals, transformations, and parallel/perpendicular lines through body movement and song.
- Learn geometric principles through a multiple intelligence approach.
- Use movement to demonstrate knowledge of geometric principles.
- 5 pieces of butcher paper/poster board with representation of a: square, rectangle, parallelogram, rhombus, and trapezoid.
- Geometry lyrics (PDF)
- Geometric visual cue cards from LoneStar Learning
- Optional—Scholastic's Study Jam
Set Up and Prepare
- You will need to order copies of the geometric cards first.
- Order geometry songs through Rockin' the Standard and pass out geometry lyrics to individual students.
- I recommend teaching geometric concepts through the series of songs presented here a week prior to your geometry introduction. You could even assign this as a homework assignment and/or practice singing these songs during transition times throughout the day.
Let There Be Music!
Step 1: Download and print out geometry lyrics (PDF) and have geometry cards ready to show to the class. The song lyrics provided are sung to well-known tunes, but I encourage you to support and purchase Rockin' the Standard's CD for your classroom instruction.
Step 2: Types of Angles — Model and sing the angles song. Gather students to your meeting area and use your hands to demonstrate the angles throughout the song. Have the class incorporate some moves into the dance to complete the fun. Click here (angles.wmv attachment) for a video demonstration from our class.
Step 3: Parallel, Perpendicular, and Intersecting Lines — You can use the geometry lyrics provided or Scholastic's Study Jam karaoke song on the same topic (a free trial is available). Again, have your students jam to the music by crossing arms, raising both arms vertically, and making a "T" with both arms.
Step 4: Isosceles, Scalene, and Equilateral Triangles — You will want to introduce congruency to your students before learning the triangle song. For a visual effect, I recommend using the math cards discussed. You can also create a note version edition for your student's math journal for easy reference.
Step 5: Quadrilaterals — For this activity you will need to use butcher paper to draw out 5 types of quadrilaterals: square, rectangle, trapezoid, parallelogram, and rhombus. Pass one out to five volunteers and proceed to dance away with as much body incorporation as possible utilizing the geometry lyrics provided. Allow students to move freely during the main chorus portions of the quadrilateral song. You just might find yourself laughing and dancing along with the class.
Step 6: Reflection, Rotation, Translation — There are a couple of chants and videos on teachertube.com, but creating simple movements with your hands is a quick and easy method to help support the concept. Here are the movements we used in class:
- Reflection — We started with closed hands and opened them up.
- Rotation — We grabbed one wrist, created a closed fist with the available hand, and moved our closed fist in a wide circle.
- Translation — We held one arm up in a vertical line, placing one hand on top of the other. Students then slid the hand down the arm towards the elbow.
Step 7: Let's Play "Geo Says" — Begin with a simple game of "Geo Says." To play this game, you will need to show a visual representation of the various geometry terms learned in class. For example, a ray can be demonstrated with one arm out, fingers spread open. We use Simon Says principles to show the following: acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle, line segment, point, ray, rotation, translation, reflection, parallel, intersecting, and perpendicular lines. Continue until you declare the geometry winner. Need a visual? I have included a video clip of our class here (simon.wmv attachment).
Introduction: As teachers, we don't have much free time in our classroom. Here are some books that help us work smarter, not harder. They combine the mathematical concepts under geometry into a read-aloud for your class. Also included are two yoga deck sets to incorporate health and movement.
Total Books: 12
The Kids' Yoga Deck: 50 Poses and Games by Annie Buckley
Book Descriptions: A set of 50 poses on sturdy stock paper. The figures are unisex figures.
Classroom Tips: You can use these cards for assessing geometry shapes and angles.
Yoga Pretzels: 50 Fun Yoga Activities For Kids & Grownups (Yoga Cards) (Cards) by Tara Guber
Book Descriptions: Another set of 50 poses. The difference between Annie Buckley's book and this one are larger deck cards and photographs of children demonstrating the positions.
Classroom Tips: Give a set to your physical education teacher and ask them to use geometry terminology when using it for warm-up.
The Librarian Who Measured the Earth by Kathryn Lasky
Book Descriptions: Eratosthenes became the chief librarian at the renowned Alexandria Library. His best-known discovery was to determine the circumference of Earth using simple geometry and shadows cast by the sun at noon on June 21. The book includes an addendum that gives a summary of important discoveries throughout time, many of which use Eratosthenes' work as their basis.
Classroom Tips: Integrate this into your reading workshop block.
Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert
Book Descriptions: Grandfather Tang tells a story about fox fairies from Chinese folklore who use geometry and magical powers to alternately change into predator and prey in a shape changing game. As he tells the story, he makes the animal shapes with tangrams. The illustrations have an oriental brushwork appearance and include both the animal and the tangram representation of the animal so students can create the changes with their tangram sets.
Classroom Tips: Can be paired up with The Warlord's Puzzle by Virginia Pilegard
The Warlord's Puzzle by Virginia Pilegard
Book Descriptions: In ancient China, an artist hopes to avoid punishment for breaking a beautiful blue tile into seven piece by suggesting that the Chinese warlord hold a contest to see if anyone can put it back together. A poor fisherman's boy quietly plays with the geometric shapes and solves the tangram puzzle. A tangram template is provided making this useful in introducing geometric concepts.
Classroom Tips: Can be paired up with Grandfather Tang's Story by Ann Tompert.
A Cloak for the Dreamer by Aileen Friedman
Book Descriptions: A tailor asks his three sons to make colorful cloaks from small pieces of cloth sewn together. The older sons use square and triangular pieces and make fine cloaks. But the youngest son chooses circles and his cloak will not keep out the wind. The father uses geometry to solve the problem cleverly. This story fits with a unit on tessellations or a unit on shapes within shapes.
Eight Hands Round: A Patchwork Alphabet by Ann Whitford Paul
Book Descriptions: Each letter of the alphabet is presented with a traditional quilt pattern and a brief history of the design. The full-color illustrations provide a great springboard for exploring the shapes and their geometric properties such as congruence, similarity, and symmetry.
Fraction Action by Loreen Leedy
Book Descriptions: Miss Prime and her students explore fractions by finding many examples in the world around them. In the process they divide geometric shapes into fractions, divide sets of objects into equal parts, cut fruit into equal shares, and divide a dollar into fractions. The bright illustrations help to clarify the concepts.
Shape Up! Fun with Triangles and Other Polygons by David Adler
Book Descriptions: Various polygons including triangles, quadrilaterals, rhombuses, and dodecagons are introduced and illustrated by comparing them to common foods such as pretzels, slices of cheese, and bread. It can serve as a hands-on guide to constructing patterns. Bright cartoonlike illustrations highlight the text.
Classroom Tips: Integrate this into your reading workshop block.
Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi: A Math Adventure by Cindy Neuschwander
Book Descriptions: Sir Cumference's son, Prince Radius, is sent on a quest to find his grandfather who has been turned into a dragon. The prince uses the magical number of pi to restore the man to his regular shape. Mathematical terms and concepts are used to tell the story. See other books in this series.
Classroom Tips: Integrate this into your reading workshop block.
Sir Cumference and the First Round Table by Cindy Neuschwander
Book Descriptions: In Camelot, Sir Cumference and Lady Di design the perfect round table with the assistance of carpenters and geometric solutions. This is a humorous look at the Middle Ages replete with mathematical puns and factual relationships among diameter, circumference, and pi. See other books in this series.
Classroom Tips: Integrate this into your reading workshop block.
Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angleland by Cindy Neuschwander
Book Descriptions: Prince Radius is on a quest to earn his knighthood and must rescue a lost king. His parents give him a circular medallion that helps him to measure and examine every angle as he finds his way through a maze. He is able to complete his quest thanks to geometry. See other books in this series.
Classroom Tips: Integrate this into your reading workshop block.
Supporting All Learners
Learning geometry through a hands-on approach of music and dance will aid most of your students in learning the content. By providing a variety of ways to teach and incorporate geometry, you will reach every student in your classroom. Pairing this with the other traditional methods used to teach geometry will ensure academic success for all!
Correlating Standards:

- Classify two- and three- dimensional shapes according to their properties and develop definitions of classes of shapes such as triangles and pyramids.
- Investigate, describe, and reason about the results of subdividing, and transforming shapes.
- Explore congruence and similarity.
Lesson Extensions
- Create a "geo-me-tree" by using brown butcher paper and displaying math cards for the concepts learned in class.
- Using tape or chalk (if outside) have students create a dance incorporating geometric moves.
- Visit rockinthestandards.com site to see their recommendations. The band members are classroom teachers just like you and me!
- Visit sites like Scholastic's Study Jams as well as teachertube.com.
Home Connection
This would be an excellent home and school connection as parents appreciate helping their child with resources other than a textbook and worksheets. Inform parents that your geometry unit is about to begin and ask them to help by providing time to practice the lyrics and movements with their child. Parents and students should have a fun time with this assignment as well.
- Math journal notes
- Traditional paper and pencil assignments
- Are students actively engaged through song and movement? If not, could it be a result of their learning style?
- Try the songs without the lyrics present. Can the students sing along?
- Try the songs without your modeling body movement. Which students seem to be struggling?
- Can students apply concepts learned through traditional paper and pencil methods?
Assess Students
- Subjects:Geometry, Dance, Music
- Duration:2 Days

For the second day of this great championship, the organisers decide to run a variant of the previous day's course, including a series of triangles followed by a square. The wind, which had been blowing betwen 5 and 9 knots through the early afternoon, fills in progressively and turns 90 degrees to the right during the final heat, surprising even the best of the racers. And after 6 rounds of racing, the possible eventual winners begin to show clear water at the top of the leader board...
In the Under 15 section, it's the young Frenchman Brice Iriex taking command, ahead of the Italian Lorenzo Rossi end the Japanese Koji Kiuchi.
In the Under 12s, Swiss entrant Florin van Rommen and his American rival Geronimo Nores find themselves equal first ahead of another Japanese, Yoshihiro Hanada.
In the Open class, French racer Hugo Stubler leads from the Italian Giacomo Ferrari, followed by French girl Margot Vennin

Star Wars: The Approaching Storm | |||||||||
Alan Dean Foster | |||||||||
Lucas Books, Del Rey, 344 pages | |||||||||
A review by David Maddox
As Episode II begins, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker have just returned from a
mission. The Approaching Storm chronicles just what that mission was. Separatist elements within the Republic are
trying to set-up the backwater world Ansion as the next Naboo, hoping that its cessation from the Republic will cause enough
turmoil to bring down the Senate, which itself is so mired in bureaucracy that very little is actually accomplished anymore.
To try and make peace on this outlying world, Jedi Knight Luminara Unduli and her Padawan Barriss Offee join Obi-Wan and
Anakin in an effort to calm the flustered officials. The problem: they must not only convince the governing body of Ansion
to remain part of the Republic, but the free tribes that roam the plains of this meadow-like planet as well. To add to their
dilemma, sinister forces are working behind the scenes to prevent any success.
Alan Dean Foster is no stranger to the Star Wars Universe. In fact he wrote the very first
Star Wars sequel back in 1978, the acclaimed Splinter of the Mind's Eye. He's also responsible for
the novelisation of The Black Hole and The Icerigger Trilogy just to name a few.
The adventure starts off with an exciting ambush, an ensuing lightsabers battle and a botched kidnapping. But the book hits an
obvious lull through the middle as our heroes search for the powerful Overclan Borokii tribe. There's a lot of riding, camping,
more riding, meeting smaller tribes, getting to know them, getting directions, even more riding, yet more camping as well as
picking up an Ewok-like creature named Tooqui.
The book does suffer from an lack of villains. True, there is a scheming Hutt by the name of Soergg who is responsible for
most of the trouble the Jedi encounter, but there's a plethora of plotting politicians of Coruscant as well, who are really pretty forgettable.
Two supplementary characters, Kyakhta and Bulgan, begin as mindless servants of Soergg and are miraculously cured by
Barriss' Jedi healing powers. Becoming guides in the quest for the Overclan, the two are at first incredibly grateful. But
Bulgan genuinely feels appreciation, while Kyakhta seems to be considering the monetary gains of their trip. It's an
interesting sub-plot twist that is never fully developed.
There are some very nice moments that hint at Anakin's eventual fall to the Dark Side, what with his toying with enemies in
battle and his brooding nature. Some elements sure to be in the next film are presented, such as Anakin's disbelief that
Yoda can use a lightsaber and a possible relationship between Obi-Wan and Luminara. Plus, Anakin keeps claiming he "misses
someone" quite a bit. Could it be his mother... or a former Queen turned Senator?
While not a rip-roaring adventure, Star Wars: The Approaching Storm is certainly a nice set-up for the film and
serves its purpose, whetting fan's appetites.

text: Airlines see profitable summer ahead of iffy fall By: The Associated Press June 16, 2011 Comments Off This promises to be a moneymaking summer for the airlines, with planes full of passengers paying higher fares than a year ago. But there could be a fall chill in the air.

Gladstone, Liberty downtowns saluted by statewide Main Street group
Gladstone and Historic Downtown Liberty Inc. both received honors at the annual Missouri Main Street Connection conference in July.
The Liberty group took home two awards: Best Economic Restructuring Project, a tie with Northeast Kansas City Chamber of Commerce; and Best Large Scale Project for the redevelopment of the Bedinger Furniture Store, a tie with Old Town Cape.
Gladstone received the Best Streetscape and Public Improvement Award for Linden Square at Gladstone Village Center.
Liberty was among four communities recognized by the Missouri Main Street Connection for reaching or surpassing $1 million milestones from private improvements in their historic downtown districts.
Cape Girardeau exceeded $6 million in private investments. Liberty, Lee's Summit and Warrensburg each passed the $1 million mark.
Liberty's Bedinger redevelopment involved redeveloping a 20,000-square-foot space which included selling parcels of the property and the creation of two new restaurants, The Bell and Rock & Run Brewery.
"The whole goal of the Main Street Association is to keep downtowns live, vibrant business districts. This was a great opportunity to recognize the efforts of Mike Bedinger and the owners of the Rock & Run Brewery and The Bell. I'm so thankful for everybody for investing in downtown," said Vicki Vance, executive director of Historic Downtown Liberty.
Liberty's Best Economic Restructuring Project encompassed a broader redevelopment effort and a collaboration with the city of Liberty to pass a bed tax for tourism, event promotions and improving infrastructure.
Gladstone's Best Streetscape and Public Improvement Award recognized the development of a village center which included an amphitheater, a pavilion, a flexible open lawn space that converts to an ice rink in winter, a pedestrian plaza, and a parking lot planned for dual use as a farmers' market.
"We were very excited to be nominated by Confluence architects and receive the award from the Missouri Main Street Association. It recognizes all the hard work that's gone into creating a new economic engine for Gladstone and that's exciting," said Melinda J. Mehaffy, the city's economic development administrator.

Good part for the right price thanks
Great pads for the price. I recommend this seller.
As with another product I purchased on Partsgeek, my greatest praise comes in the affordability. Ceramic brake pads at one of the large auto parts chains are $37. My pads also arrived within the timeframe promised. I did however have to borrow a pack of brake quiet grease from my neighbor.
Great deals, I purchase all my auto parts through Parts Geek for both my car and my daughters. Fast shipping.
A great quality part, complete with hardware, a huge savings compared to my local auto parts store
This place has the best prices and the best quality products!

Hello all,
Did a gig using two PRX-615m's and 1 MRX-518s driven off an XTI-1000. Signal went through a DriveRack PA and set up via the wizard. The XTI seemed to function normal, i.e. no distortion, clipping, etc. all of a sudden, I lose my low end. The amp was off. My thought was overheating but no indication of that on the front panel. Turned unit off and even unplugged it, still dead. The next day, popped the cover to check the fuse and it was good. No signs of anything looking burned. Please advise. S/N 8001465753

Object Storage Tomorrow: Erasure Coding
Introduction My
last post
talked about the benefits of Object Storage today. My next few posts will talk about the future direction of Object Storage technology, and the upcoming features that you should be aware of. Today, I will talk about Erasure Coding. Once again, this post will be Swift-centric, but many of these concepts will likely be embraced by other platforms as well.

What Can Object Storage Do For Me Today?
Introduction In
my previous blog post on Object Storage
, I provided an overview of what Object Storage is, and how it compares to conventional storage platforms. In this post, I will discuss what benefits Object Storage can provide for you today. As there are a variety of solutions to choose from, each offering different pros, cons and price-points, I will focus on OpenStack Swift, the open-source Object Storage component of OpenStack, as it is vendor-agnostic and freely available to everyone.

Introduction To Object Storage
Introduction To call Object Storage an emerging technology would be inaccurate. There are already trillions of objects and hundreds (perhaps thousands) of petabytes of data in Object Storage public clouds, such as
Rackspace Cloud Files
and Amazon S3, in private clouds based on the OpenStack Object Storage platform Swift, and other platforms such as EMC's Atmos.

Samsung Galaxy S5 release date is expected on Feb. 24, according to the company's invitation.
The South Korean tech company already sent out invitations for its launching event in Barcelona, Spain. This is the same date that the Mobile World Congress kicks off. Samsung's separate event is entitled Unpacked 5 that sparked rumors it will finally unveil the heavily reported Samsung Galaxy S5.
If the handset will be launched on Feb. 24, the device will be most probably be available for purchase sometime in March or April.
Samsung's Executive Vice President Lee Young-Hee gave a good teaser the previous month.
"When we went from S3 to S4, it's kinda true that consumers did not notice much difference between the devices physically, then the market reaction was not very big. For S5, back to basics. In most cases, it is about the display and touch sensation on the cover," Lee Young-Hee said.
In an email sent by KDB Daewoo Securities Research firm to its customers, it revealed Samsung Galaxy S5 will sport a 5.2-inch to 5.25-inch and AMOLED screen display with 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution and 560 ppi. The handset will also pack a quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 805 or an octa-core 2.0GHz Exynos 6 with 64-bit architecture.
Other rumored features of Samsung Galaxy S5 are 3 GB RAM, 3200 mAh battery, up to 64 GB internal storage, WiFi, 3G and LTE for connectivity and 3.2 megapixel on the front and 16 megapixel rear camera.
Releasing Samsung Galaxy S5 on Feb. 25 is probably the best decision made by Samsung. The launch of the new Samsung flagship smartphone will give Samsung the advantage in terms of sales and popularity. Samsung Galaxy S5 has the whole year to work on sales.
Also, Samsung Galaxy S5 launch on the first day of MWC 2014 event will overshadow other smartphones that will be launched in the event. Samsung's smartphone may steal the limelight over other handsets since it is highly popular and anticipated.
Samsung Galaxy S5 will also be the first smartphone to pack the latest Android Kitkat OS. Frustrated Samsung users have been waiting for the OS update for other Samsung smartphones. Specs and features that will not make it in the Samsung Galaxy S5 will still be included in Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that will be released later this year. Thus, Samsung can still rake in the profits.

In answer to the question that the album title raises, No. I am not a friend of Ruth Ruth. Thirteen songs of repetitive pop and whiny lyrics about lost love are not going to make friends out of anyone.
Ruth Ruth's music is an uninventive mix of the Pixies and Fountains of Wayne, although it never approaches the genius of either band. It serves as a backdrop to Chris Kennedy's lyrics, which read like bad poetry and are as pleasant as nails on a chalkboard.
It's not that Kennedy's a bad singer—he's actually got a clear, warm voice—but his whining about love and sex leaves him coming off as pretentious and a creep. Certain lyrics—"I'm trying to get hard in the bathroom / Think atomic, Conclusion: queer" for example—suggest that Kennedy is trying for a "smart" look at sex that ends up sounding completely ostentatious. Later, when he rambles on about those who have wronged him and the love he cannot find, you're left rolling your eyes, not taking pity. Kennedy spouts lines like "I've thought about your bloated heart / And how I've prayed it would quit pounding" and "Now that I'm rid of you / I've even had an erection." With lines like this, it's hard to find sympathy when he cries about a broken heart. But he does, many times throughout the album, and each time he sounds increasingly pathetic.
"If I can't have you," he cries, "I wake up with a pain I can't begin to share." Time and again he throws out lines like this, and on each occurrence you crave for the end of the record. It never seems to come.
There's just one moment on Are You My Friend? where Kennedy spits out something tolerable. On "Dedicate It to You," halfway through the album, Kennedy describes what goes into his lyrics. "Cliché upon cliché," he sings, "And 'Baby don't break my heart.'" It's the only time you can give the man any credit, and that's only because he knows what you're thinking—that he's completely full of shit.

Passengers got off and called police, who said his blood-alcohol was six times the legal limit.
Alonzo Van Martin
A Metro Transit bus driver was arrested Saturday night in Brooklyn Center for allegedly operating a bus while his blood-alcohol content was six times the legal limit for commercial drivers -- the first time in the transit agency's history that a driver has been arrested for drunken driving while on duty.
Police arrested the driver, Alonzo V. Martin, 46, who has a history of driving violations, around 9:40 p.m. after passengers and a following motorist called to report that the Route 5 bus was swerving and being driven erratically as it headed from Minneapolis to the Brooklyn Center Transit Station, police said.
When officers approached the bus at the Transit Station across from Brookdale Mall, Martin had slurred speech, bloodshot, watery eyes and smelled of alcohol, said Brooklyn Center police Cmdr. Tim Gannon. Martin had started his shift at 3:44 p.m. when he left the Martin J. Ruter Garage in Brooklyn Center, according to Metro Transit.
Martin told the officers that he hadn't been drinking, but an open container of alcohol was found, Gannon said. According to public records, Martin's driving record in the past 10 years includes several speeding tickets, citations for driving after withdrawal, no proof of insurance, inattentive driving and having an open bottle.
Two of those tickets -- one for inattentive driving and one for speeding -- fell within the one-year period before he was hired on Jan. 14, 2008, a violation of Metro Transit's hiring policy that disqualifies potential employees if they have more than one moving violation in the past 12 months.
Authorities said that Martin failed a field sobriety test Saturday, and that his blood-alcohol content registered at 0.24; by state law, a person is drunk at 0.08 percent and the legal limit for commercial drivers is 0.04. He is expected to be charged with third-degree DWI and having an open bottle, Gannon said.
Metro Transit spokesman Bob Gibbons said Martin is on leave from his job. He couldn't say whether Martin will be terminated until the investigation is complete.
"This has never happened to us before, so we're plowing through new territory," Gibbons said.
Police and Metro Transit praised witnesses who called about the driver. No property damage or injuries were reported from the incident, one that Metro Transit described as "outrageous."
It's unclear how many people may have been on the bus Saturday night because it was empty when officers arrived at the Transit Station, Gannon said. A few witnesses who got off at an earlier stop stayed to talk with police.
An extensive driving record
Martin had been a part-time driver until last month, when he was promoted to full time, Gibbons said. Metro Transit employs about 1,500 drivers, of whom 367 are part-time.
Metro Transit's hiring process includes an evaluation of the potential employee's driving record for the past three years, Gibbons said. Any of the following would lead to a disqualification, he said:
• More than one moving violation in the past 12 months.
• More than two moving violations in the past 24 months.
• Any of the following in the past 36 months: more than three moving violations and any offenses for DWI, careless driving, reckless driving, open bottle, leaving the scene of an accident, driving after suspension and several other moving violations.
Once drivers are hired, they are subject to random drug and alcohol testing, as well as after an accident or when there is reasonable suspicion. Their driving records are also checked daily against a public safety database that shows any current changes related to suspended licenses or DWI arrests, Gibbons said.
He said it is too early to say whether any policies might be changed as the result.
"If mistakes were made, they will be corrected," he said. "We'll be looking at all of the aspects related to his hiring and performance on the job and any other factors that show whether we might have been able to discern any troubling behavior." Lora Pabst 673-4628

First, log into NetRestore's PHP services, and go to Database administration » Create Machine Specific Attributes. Add these specific field names (spelling and case counts!). The following is laid out in this order: field name | Data type | Default value (if any)...
- printer_name | VARCHAR(63) |
- printer_location | VARCHAR(63) |
- printer_driver | VARCHAR(128) |
- printer_address | VARCHAR(21) | lpd://
Go to this URL...
replace 00:00:00:00:00:00 with your machine's MAC address. Enter in the data for that machine for the fields you just created. Spaces aren't allowed in the printer_name, printer_location, or printer_address fields. They are allowed in the printer_driver field. For the printer_driver field, find the right file name by going to /Library » Printers » PPDs » Contents » Resources » en.lproj. You'll find the correct printer driver in that folder. For example, the one I needed to add was called HP LaserJet 4200 Series.gz.
Now you're all set up on the server side.
Client side setup
Copy the code for these two scripts into separate files, as named below: Save these two files somewhere on your client machine; wherever you see fit. Make sure you also set the proper variables correctly in the set-printers.sh file. Run set-printer.sh from the client, and the printer should be installed. Since my machines are frozen, I have it set up to run this script every time the computer starts up, so that it adds the printer based my settings in NetRestore's PHP services page.
Good luck to the rest of you...

We are the minority here and on the road. One of the reason I enjoy my bent so much is all the weird looks and comments I get from the uninformed masses. I like being different. I was riding to work last Friday and had to activate the crosswalk signal across the busiest street in town. After the stop light had changed I started across the street and one of the cars stopped at the light honked and both the driver and passenger stuck their arms out the window and gave me a big thumbs up. Now that made me feel good. Don't know if they did it because I was a cyclist or because I was riding a bent but I like to think it was because of the bent.

The loss of Knut the polar bear last year left a trail of broken hearts among animal lovers worldwide. Thankfully, the good people at the Scandinavian Wildlife Park in Denmark have brought us Siku, and our hearts are once again replete. At just 49 days old, the orphaned baby polar is already an Internet sensation, simply for sucking on a bottle and passing out in a food coma. But so long as this little guy is willing to feast and snooze for us, we won't complain!
And be sure to check out oodles of Siku's adorable studio head shots below!

Reviews by Figgots
Mount and Blade Lite
Figgots | Sept. 13, 2012 | Review of War of the Roses: Digital Deluxe EditionThis game is developed by and is very similar to the team who made the Mount and Blade series. It's sort of like the Call of Duty of Mount and Blade, but not in a bad way. It's a lot easier to get into, you have unlocks where you can get new weapons and armor and even skills such as dashing or shield blows. It's very enjoyable and has a fairly steep skill cap.
If you enjoy mount and blade but don't want the incredibly steep skill curve, you'll truly enjoy this game. The price may be a little high, but it's well worth the hours you'll get of enjoyment.
Mindless Entertainment
Figgots | Sept. 13, 2012 | Review of Warhammer 40000: Space Marine (THQ)This game is for those who just want to get straight into the action and start killing anything and everything in site. It has a very shallow skill slope and is fairly easy on the default setting, but it's oh so satisfying. The graphics are simply incredible and can be slightly tweaked to your own likings, but that's the low point. There isn't much that you can change, but it's just enough to get you what you want.
Once you've gained every weapon, though, it starts to slow down a bit I felt. There's not much left to gain from killing, so you'll have to just enjoy the mindless entertainment.
A Gem in the Rough
Figgots | Sept. 12, 2012 | Review of The Last Remnant OverflowWhen I first had seen this game I figured hey, why not? It's a Square Enix game and looks similar to Final Fantasy.
The first thing I notice is the amazing graphics. They're lush, vibrant, and crisp. The first cinematic already sets a precadence for an incredible and epic game. It's not your typical game, though. It's a turn based strategy game based on squads.
If you're looking for an epic storyline wrapped in a neat strategy game, look no further!

Boy, this little guy from the Earthbound series has gotten popular. Ness was hidden in the original Smash Bros., but in the sequel he is playable right off the bat (no pun intended). One of the more difficult characters to play, Ness retains all his fancy yo-yo tricks and his unique way of jumping and rescuing himself from falls. Using his mind he can control his electrified yo-yo (PK Thunder) sending it into opponents anywhere on the screen. Even more useful is the ability to propel Ness himself by, er, essentially hitting himself in the butt. This trick earns you extra height on a jump and delivers a powerful smash to opponent if you come in contact with them. Clearly the momentum of Ness's gigantic head is dangerous. Asides from a power charge and bat, Ness can headbutt, punch, kick, and throw like there's no tomorrow.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee Ness is now a full-fledged member of the cast . No longer is he the odd kid out -- he's got his own stages, music, and even a sidekick of sorts, Mr. Saturn. Another staple character from Mother, joins the party as a non-playable item Smash Bros. players can hurl at each other. With more tricks and an increased psychic ability, Ness is not to be underestimated. In fact, when mastered Ness is considered one of the most powerful characters in Super Smash Bros.
Gameplay Tips
Ness is a peculiar character. He relies on the strengths of his PSI mind
power to lead him to victory. He can us his psychic powers on his yo-yo,
to create bolts of fire, and even glide through the air on a bed of mind
control. His speed, agility, and genius is more than enough to pummel any
opponent. The trick is to use it wisely. Ness is for experts only, and requires
diligence and practice. True SSBM masters often rely on Ness as their character
of choice.
Ness's ground A-button attacks are mostly punches and kicks. Don't underestimate them, though. They're quick -- very quick. Linked together with other air attacks and smash hits they are very powerful. His most effective ground attack is his bat. It can be charged up to deal as much damage as 32%. The potency of the attack is related to how far away from your opponent you stand. The farther away you swing the bat, the more it hurts. The bat is a perfect KO tool because it's so powerful and quick to use. It tends to work best when characters are jumping back to the ground. His PK Push dash attack is also extremely useful because of its long range. It's easy to charge into battle this way. His yo-yo attacks are great for clearing the area around, but not particularly powerful. Use them sparingly.
Once you get a character into the air, Ness becomes even more powerful. Use his Toss or PK Push attack on the ground as a great way to knock characters into the air. One of Ness's most powerful air attacks is his PK Drop Kick, but you have to connect with your opponent at the perfect time. Get Ness's back right next to your opponent and activate the kick. As you'll see, it sends them flying and is one of our favorite KO-friendly attacks. And, if timed right his Right + A Flying PK Push can be pretty devastating as well. If you ever find yourself in a situation in the air where you think you don't have the advantage, use his normal A-button spin attack. It's very quick, and you're more likely to pull off the move before your opponent. As we mentioned, if you want to become good with Ness, you'll need to balance Ness's air attacks and ground attacks. Try and keep a constant wave of hits coming. It's very likely they'll be running more often than they attack if you're fierce enough.
Finally, we have his special B-button attacks. All of them are useful and awesome for their own reasons. First, Ness has his PK Fire (Right + B). If it connects with another player it will set them ablaze in a column of fire, which can be very hard to escape. You can choose to perhaps nail them with the bat or another attack -- since the fire doesn't affect Ness -- or we suggest trying to hit them with yet another PK Fire. If you successfully link together two or three, you can incur major damage. It can be very helpful for interrupting their quest to jump back to the stages. Next, we have Ness's PK Flash. The attack is very, very difficult to pull off because it's so slow and obvious. PK Flash tends to work best for when another player is above you on a platform or anywhere above you for that matter. Hold down B longer to charge it up. As it reaches full power it will begin to fall back towards the ground. You can choose to steer it left or right, or release it to explode. PK Flash is best if used in many small doses or that one big one that the other players somehow miss. Anything in between and you're probably going to fail at using it. Try using it on players you throw above you.
His most popular trick is his PK Thunder yo-yo. Once activated, Ness won't be able to move, but you can control the glowing orb with his mind (read: the analog stick). Steering it into foes is useful, but even more effective is if you can line it up so it hits Ness himself into an opponent, turning him into a deadly missile. This is his recovery jump, so if there's one thing you should practice it's hitting Ness up into the air with PK Thunder. Without it, you aren't playing Ness right at all. Unfortunately, this recovery move requires open space, which handicaps Ness in some of the "trench-heavy" stages like Fourside. Lastly, is his Down + B PK Magnet. This draws energy from fire and other similar attacks like Samus' blast attack. If you need health keep an eye out for fire-breathing Pokémon, lasers, and other energy-based attacks.
Ness is a powerful character, but very hard to use. If you practice the above strategies, you're sure to wow your friends.

Origin: Ness made his debut as the seemingly average kid from Onett, in Nintendo's RPG Earthbound (Mother 2 in Japan). As you soon learn, though, Ness is a boy genious with psychic powers. After a mysterious meteorite landed near his home in Onett, the whiz kid set out on a quest to save the world. His legend has lived on ever since. Because of the popularity of the first two titles, HAL originally planned on releasing a new Earthbound game (with new characters) for Nintendo 64. Sadly, the project was cancelled. Here's hoping Ness and friends return soon on GameCube or Game Boy Advance.
