The world is watching while the US divides more bitterly than ever in a national debate it has had before, and must have again, on whether to accept more control of guns in the community.Thursday, 24 January, 2013, 5:21am 2 comments
The largest US gun rights lobbying organisation yesterday forcefully stuck to its call for placing armed police officers and security guards in every school as the best way to avoid shootings such as the recent massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut.24 Dec 2012 - 5:07am
No one yet knows what transformed nerdy, small-town loner Adam Lanza into a black-clad monster who gunned down 26 people, including 20 young children, at an elementary school.17 Dec 2012 - 8:01am
We see it over and over in the news: yet another shooting in an American school or university.
These tragedies take lives and leave the survivors distraught. And yet despite these happenings, it is still very easy in the United States to buy and own a gun.29 Apr 2009 - 12:00am
New York
New York City may be staring down the barrel of a budget crisis, but it isn't going to worry about handing out cash for one thing - guns.4 Nov 2008 - 12:00am
While the gruesome shooting of eight members of a biker gang in rural Ontario last weekend has rocked Canadian society, such violent deaths involving guns have long been routine TV viewing south of the border.16 Apr 2006 - 12:00am
Tens of thousands of American mothers converged on Washington yesterday to demand stricter gun laws in one of the biggest rallies the capital has seen in years.
Perfect weather saw organisers claiming 500,000 marchers as the protest got under way, matched by action in 62 cities nationwide in the so-called 'Million Moms March'.15 May 2000 - 12:00am
More than 40 per cent of American households with children have guns, and more than half of those either keep the gun loaded or do not lock it away, a survey by the Centre to Prevent Handgun Violence found.
But 73 per cent of respondents thought it unlikely their children would find or handle a gun without their permission, the survey showed.16 Nov 1998 - 12:00am
Two of the United States' most violent cities have mounted an unprecedented legal challenge against the firearms industry in a bid to reverse the tide of gun-related deaths.
Chicago and New Orleans are suing gun makers and retailers, hoping to do to gun violence what a nationwide torrent of litigation has done to the tobacco industry.16 Nov 1998 - 12:00am
The National Rifle Association, America's powerful gun-ownership lobbying group, declares in its motto: 'Guns don't kill, people do.' The slogan is naturally designed to persuade supporters of gun control of the errors of their ways and suggest that, in itself, a firearm is a harmless toy.4 Dec 1997 - 12:00am
EVERY few minutes of every day across the United States, another person is shot dead; sometimes during a domestic fight, sometimes in a bar brawl, but more often because of a robbery, gang war or drug dispute.11 Dec 1993 - 12:00am
MY father, a professor of music, loves guns. From derringers to Colt 45s, from flintlocks to high-powered hunting rifles, he has an arsenal big enough to arm at least one platoon, maybe two. He even owns a glass-encased commemorative Thompson sub-machine gun.24 Jun 1993 - 12:00am

Iran may get uranium from S. Africa following cooperation deal
Iran and South Africa signed a memorandum of understanding on Tuesday on bilateral cooperation. The deal paves the way for the two countries to expand trade ties, and may include South Africa selling uranium to Tehran.
The memorandum was signed by South African Defense Minister Mosiuoa Lekota and his Iranian counterpart Rear-Admiral Ali Shamkhani. This was the first such visit by a South African defense minister to Tehran since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
At Tuesday's signing ceremony, Shamkhani praised South Africa for its position on Iran's nuclear weapons program, which Tehran says is for peaceful purposes. He said that the agreement will lead to the expansion of bilateral cooperation in all areas
Lekota reportedly said that making peaceful use of nuclear energy is the legitimate right of the Islamic Republic.
Brigadier General Yossi Kuperwasser, the head of Military Intelligence's research department, told the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Tuesday that Iran is expected to have full nuclear ability by early 2007. Kuperwasser also said that Iran will purchase the technology it needs to enrich uranium by the first half of next year.
Iran said Tuesday it would destroy Israel's Dimona nuclear reactor if the Jewish state were to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. A senior commander warned that Iranian missiles could reach Dimona.
"If Israel fires a missile into the Bushehr nuclear power plant, it has to say goodbye forever to its Dimona nuclear facility, where it produces and stockpiles nuclear weapons," said the deputy chief of the elite Revolutionary Guards, Brig. Gen. Mohammad Baqer Zolqadr, in a statement.
Zolqadr was referring to the site of Iran's first nuclear reactor at Bushehr, a coastal town on the Gulf. Built with Russian assistance, the reactor is due to come on stream in 2005.
Iran says its nuclear program is strictly for the generation of electricity. But Israel and the United States strongly suspect Iran is secretly building nuclear weapons.
Zolqadr did not say how Iran would attack Dimona, but the head of the Revolutionary Guards' political bureau, Yadollah Javani, said Iran would use its Shahab-3 missile.
"All the territory under the control of the Zionist regime, including its nuclear facilities, are within the range of Iran's advanced missiles," Javani said in a separate statement.
Iran announced last week it had successfully test-fired a new version of the Shahab-3, which has a range of 1,296 kilometers. Israel is about 965 kilometers west of Iran.
Israel has developed with the United States the Arrow anti-ballistic missile system. It is said to be capable of intercepting and destroying missiles at high altitudes.

The poll also revealed that nearly three quarters of those surveyed did not read history books while and 61 per cent admitted that they changed channels rather than watching historical programmes on television.
"While there's no excuse for demoting real historical figures such as Churchill, the elevation of mythical figures to real life showed the impact good films could have in shaping the public consciousness.

Compromising formula on Sethusamudram
DMK and Congress unity is artificial. Like that unity between Nehru and Mahatma Gandhi was also artificial. Their characters were diffeent to each other. Mahatma Gandhi wanted to be mahatma but Nehru wanted to make himself Westenlized raomantic.
A compromise within the UPA is on the cards on the Sethusamudram project. Highly placed sources said the government's affidavit to be filed in the Supreme Court next month could seek permission to carry out an archaeological study of the area before a decision on the project can be taken.
While DMK can continue to say that government has not given up the project, the Centre can find solace in the fact that the study itself would take four to five years to get completed.

From Denver: Vail Valley
Technically, you can scoot from Denver to the Vail area and back in a day. But with four food-and-booze festivals scheduled in the next few weeks, we're tempted to hang out all month long. The Beaver Creek Wine & Spirits Festival runs August 8-10. Flavors of Colorado in Avon is happening August 15-17, while Edwards craft-beer and music bonanza Ed Fest occurs August 16. Gourmet on Gore (pictured top) wraps it all up in Vail Village on Labor Day Weekend.
What to Eat & Drink: For some of the most innovative, upscale takes on Colorado cuisine going these days, check out Beano's Cabin in Beaver Creek and Mountain Standard in Vail Village (pictured). Meanwhile, The Rose in Edwards couldn't be more charmingly funky, from the smartly crafted cocktails to globally influenced shareables like avocado fries with soy aioli and chiles rellenos en nogada.
While You're There: If you can't figure out how to enjoy Vail Mountain at a glance, you need to get out more. Betty Ford Alpine Gardens is a good place to start.
Transportation Time: Two hours in optimal conditions. In reality, give it three.

The Alchemy of OxyContin
Published: July 29, 2001
(Page 2 of 8)
The earliest reported cases of Oxycontin abuse were in rural Maine, rust-belt counties in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio and the Appalachian areas of Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. The problem traveled through these regions, as friends told friends and the word spread from town to town, county to county, up and down the Appalachians. There are a few defining characteristics that the first affected regions share: they're home to large populations of disabled and chronically ill people who are in need of pain relief; they're marked by high unemployment and a lack of economic opportunity; they're remote, far from the network of Interstates and metropolises through which heroin and cocaine travel; and they're areas where prescription drugs have been abused -- though in much smaller numbers -- in the past. ''There's always been a certain degree of prescription drug abuse in this area,'' says Art Van Zee, a physician in Lee County, Va., ''but there's never been anything like this. This is something that is very different and very new, and we don't understand all the reasons why. This is not just people who have long-term substance-abuse problems. In our region this is young teenagers, 13- and 14-year-olds, experimenting with recreational drug use and rapidly becoming addicted. Tens of thousands of opioid addicts are being created out there.''
In Man, Paula said, it was like OxyContin came out of nowhere. One day no one had heard of oxys, and a month later, the pills had become a way of life for hundreds of locals. It became so easy to buy OxyContin in and around Man, Paula said, that until recently, she never really thought about the fact that everyone involved was breaking the law. ''Buying pills never seemed illegal,'' she said. ''It just didn't feel like it was wrong.'' There aren't lookouts involved, or secret passwords or elaborate drop sites: when Paula wants to buy an OxyContin pill, she simply drives to a dealer's house and knocks on the front door in broad daylight. If she knows the dealer well enough, she'll go on in and snort the pill there, just to be neighborly. If not, she'll hand over the cash, put the pill in her pocket and drive away. Sometimes she'll be the only person there; other times, there will be a dozen cars lined up out front.
The dealers have the benefit of a captive market: OxyContin, like any opioid, is very difficult to quit abusing. And given the pill's ubiquity here in Man, and the fact that the nearest rehab clinic is two hours away, this is an unusually hard place to quit using it. Nonetheless, Paula is trying. Six months ago, she and her best friend decided they were going to quit cold turkey. They took a couple of days off work, locked themselves in her friend's trailer and started to detox. ''That was the worst three days of my life,'' Paula said. ''Honestly, I prayed to God to let me die. That's how bad it is. Your stomach hurts, you get really bad headaches, you get diarrhea. You want to throw up. You get really depressed. If you can get past the third day or the fourth day, you're pretty much fine, but most people don't make it.'' Paula and her friend didn't make it: at the end of the third day, they went out and got a pill.
A few months ago, OxyContin abuse was considered a regional problem, labeled ''hillbilly heroin'' and confined to areas far from the nation's population centers. This year, though, abuse of OxyContin has started to move away from its backwoods origins and into metropolitan areas on the East Coast, into the Deep South and parts of the Southwest and into suburban communities throughout the Eastern United States. In Miami-Dade County, there have been 11 overdose deaths so far this year in which oxycodone was the probable cause, according to the county medical examiner. There have been 11 more in Philadelphia, according to the medical examiner there. Police in Bridgeport, Conn., arrested a local doctor in July for prescribing tens of thousands of OxyContin tablets to patients, often, they say, without any medical examination at all. And in the suburbs of Boston, police say more than a dozen pharmacies have been held up by a gang of young men wearing baseball caps and bandannas, looking for OxyContin.
In many ways, the spread of Oxycontin abuse closely resembles another recent drug epidemic. In the early 1990's, the Medellín and Cali cartels controlled cocaine and heroin distribution in the United States. Cocaine was selling well, but there was a marketing problem with heroin: it could only be injected, and many people, even frequent drug abusers, are reluctant to stick needles in their arms.
The Colombians' solution to this problem was to increase the purity of the heroin they were bringing into the United States until it was potent enough to snort. They were then able to use their existing cocaine-trafficking network in the Eastern United States to get heroin onto the street in powder form. Cocaine users, who were used to the idea of buying and snorting a white powder, experimented and became addicted. As their tolerance increased, these new heroin snorters overcame their aversion to needles and soon turned into heroin injectors.

also seeking button ideas..
looking for ways to use my zillions of buttons for bracelets or any other jewelry or crafty items. any instructions or ideas out there? thanks, molly again
I saw a really cute idea in a mag. They took the buttons, glued them onto colored dowels(resembled flower stems) them stuck them all down in a clay flower pot and added moss to the top. So you had a pot of button flowers! I thought it was cute!
At craft club this morning a lady showed me her necklace. It was pearly beige buttons on 1 side(all the same) & other side was pearly brown buttons. It was made with black cord maybe quilting thread or heavier, They went through 2 of the 4 holes in each button. it looked great!! They simply knotted it at the end. At Christmas I saw someone on GJ conversations or Crafts & Decorations that had made 2 "trees" of old buttons.I used a 12 in. Styrofoam cone & gold colored 20 gauge wire cut about 2 in.long for each button & ran through each button, on some plain ones I put smaller button on top & larger on bottom. I started at top & used very small antique & other buttons & worked down using some "garlands" of 8-9 buttons in that shape going around at a curve & down like a garland.If I had to glue anything I glued only the wire & not touching the buttons so I can reuse them if I ever want to. I was very pleased with results, it is beautiful, I had a few pieces of broken jewelry or single earrings, those I had to use little pearl bead on a straight pin to attach. Hope to get some pics before too long but DD is taking her time getting my pics straightened out!! Jan

last chance to buy before the run up
Sentiment: Strong Buy
will be there by August
should be there by April
you have a very good crystal ball
LEN and TOL were the first 2 starting the housing recovery. One year later, their stock performance are lagging to the rest. I am wondering why. TOL's p/e was 63 when I bought, and 13 now. Comparing to the rest home builders, this great improvement doesn't have a comparable impact on its price. Does analysis still sound these days? My conclusion is a good analysis doesn't make sense in a bull market.
wha.....wha......what happened????????!!!!
a very strong buy
its a double dog strong buy

This is a proof-of-concept on how to integrate Authcache with Boost. This module used to be part of Authcache, but was subsequently moved to its own project because it was blocking a stable release (see #2349495: Move Authcache Boost to its own project).
Couchbase Cache module provides integration between Drupal and NoSQL Couchbase Server using PHP extension "php-ext-couchbase".
For optimal performance use Entitycache module and move all cache bins to Couchbase.
The most complete and up to date documentation is included with the module, in the README.txt file.
Couchbase c library:http://docs.couchbase.com/developer/c-2.4/download-install.html
This module is based on jchin1968's sandbox project Block Timer.
From https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/jchin1968/2061005:
Block Timer is a module for analyzing page block performance.
Removes the has_js cookie for anonymous users without an open session.
Parametric Page Cache replaces built-in Drupal page cache. It caches individual copies of a page, depending on selected parameters, typically session variables (however, in theory it can be any parameter/variable available at the moment when cache is being set). The goal is to allow caching even for pages with customized content, provided on the same URL, which would normally have to be constructed dynamically, thus inefficiently.
Typical use cases:
The Drupal community provides numerous modules to move Drupal cache_bins from MySQL to another kind of storage (Memcached, Redis, APC, etc.). How those alternate storage solutions are actually made highly-available is a matter of infrastructure. As failure is always an option, some people customize their settings.php to ensure the alternate backend is actually available before configuring $conf['cache_default_class'] (or other, similar variables such as $conf['cache_class_cache_page']).
But what to do if none of the alternate backends are available?

Nicaea and its Legacy: An Approach to Fourth-Century Trinitarian Theology, Volume 13
OUP Oxford, Apr 20, 2006 - Religion - 496 pages
The first part of Nicaea and its Legacy offers a narrative of the fourth-century trinitarian controversy. It does not assume that the controversy begins with Arius, but with tensions among existing theological strategies. Lewis Ayres argues that, just as we cannot speak of one `Arian' theology, so we cannot speak of one `Nicene' theology either, in 325 or in 381. The second part of the book offers an account of the theological practices and assumptions within which pro-Nicene theologians assumed their short formulae and creeds were to be understood. Ayres also argues that there is no fundamental division between eastern and western trinitarian theologies at the end of the fourth century. The last section of the book challenges modern post-Hegelian trinitarian theology to engage with Nicaea more deeply.

As we rapidly approach the 13th anniversary of me owning jemjabella.co.uk and my 15th year of blogging, I can't help but think about how blogging (both my own, and on a wider scale) has changed over the years.
15 years ago it wasn't uncommon for people to write blog posts thousands of words long. Blogs were in effect journals, diaries, a real look into people's lives. And people read those entries, and replied: tons of comments per entry.
Slowly, slowly that changed. Blogs became less about the personal and more a collection of quick thoughts, pics, memes, links, quotes – truly the "web log" – and this in turn became tumblr, which is a vast and scary beast I've never been able to get to grips with.
Those who didn't adopt tumblr have seen the blogging landscape change in other ways. From paragraph upon paragraph of text (some of us still take this approach, cough cough) to lists and clickbait titles; sparse photography — in part because of bandwidth issues and slow connections — to blogs that feature more pictures in one entry than I feature in a year; "vlogging" seems to have hit a new high; beauty and "lifestyle" (what even is this?) bloggers dominate blog link lists. Comments became "likes", "shares", "thumbs up" – a lot less effort and easier to do en masse.
I have always defended my "blogging for myself" position and remained firmly stuck in my ways but it's no secret that my once vast audience and "e-fame" buggered off ooooh… about 5 years ago when I stopped blogging about interesting things and started blogging about children. I miss the days of variety, controversy, geeking-outtery (I think I just made that word up) and not just blogging about myself and my mental health. I want to start taking more pictures, talking more about the things I like and the places I go, not just how heavy I lifted or how much cake I ate this week.
Of course… I say this, but it's likely nothing will change long term: I'll probably be a bit more enthusiastic with photos for a week or two, wax lyrical about something that sounds vaguely lifestyle-y, but the reality is I'll always be that boring blogger with the 800 word blog posts and 1 photo every 6 months.
I think I'm ok with that.

We are also within easy driving distance of the Norfolk Broads and Norwich.
We have a free-to-use laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and ironing board and vacuum cleaner.

If you fancy a quiet day why not spend your time pottering about on the beach, sunbathing, paddling, swimming, building sand castles, beach combing for fossils or beach fishing, popping back to your caravan now and then for refreshments. There are also plenty of lovely walks along the beach in either direction as well as public footpaths and quiet lanes.

Crime Prevention and Community Safety Surveys
Keep your community safe with information from online crime surveys.
Build a safe and strong community by using surveys to identify neighborhood concerns or trouble spots. Do parents feel comfortable letting their children bike around town? Are public recreation areas clean, well-lit, and safe to visit any time of the day? Do the elderly, homebound, and after-schoolers know what public safety resources they can call if they need help? Crime and community safety questionnaires can help you understand your residents' concerns and needs, as well as decide what programs might benefit your community the most.
Create a community safety survey today →
Find out what your neighborhood's top concerns are. Create surveys, track responses and analyze results with our powerful tools—the SurveyMonkey alternative makes it easy.
How to Use Community Safety and Crime Prevention Surveys
Whether you're part of a public safety organization or neighborhood group, or simply a concerned individual, you can marshal the power of the people to make your community a safer place for all.
- Assess neighborhood safety. Find out which are the trouble spots in your neighborhood and get suggestions on how to fix them. At the same time, survey residents to be sure they know where they can go or who they can call for help.
- Explore public safety and crime prevention solutions. Sometimes you have to look outside your community for answers. Use surveys in combination with SurveyMonkey Audience to explore what similar communities and organizations are doing to prevent crime and improve public safety.
- Mobilize community safety volunteers. From disaster preparedness to neighborhood watch and first responder services, volunteers build stronger communities. Use surveys to assess interest and availability and to help build greater community by involving members in planning and delivering safety programs.
- Organize your church, temple, mosque or even your yoga studio to improve neighborhood safety with a community survey that helps you mobilize your volunteer assets.
- Survey all of your citizens, including the less mobile or non-Internet users. Use SurveyMonkey to create automated phone surveys. With telephone surveys, a recorded voice poses questions to respondents, who reply using their phone keypads. Combine a friendly voice and any one of our survey templates with automated phone surveying, and you've got a powerful, accessible way to engage all of your community.
Sample Survey Templates
Use surveys as a tool for preventing crime and ensuring public safety. Start with our expert-certified survey templates, or create your own. Professional survey methodologists write all of our templates and example questions, so you can use them as is. You can also customize templates to fit your needs, or create your own using the certified questions available in our Question Bank.
Here are a few expert-designed templates that can help you ensure the safety and health of your community. Please note that some survey templates are only available in English at this time.
- Neighborhood Safety and Participation. Our 19-question Neighborhood Survey asks about residents' sense of community and level of participation, the cleanliness and safety of parks and other public areas, and their perception of the future of the neighborhood.
- School Safety. Explore safety in the school environment with one of our methodologist-certified educational survey templates or a Harris School Pulse survey. Use surveys such as Bullying, Child Email Use and Safety, Child Internet Use and Safety, and Child Facebook Use and Safety to assess child-safety consciousness.
- Community Events and Fundraising. Our collection of nonprofit survey templates can help you gain valuable insights to use in planning, developing, and delivering community crime prevention and safety programs. Use these templates to plan events, gather donor feedback, and recruit and place volunteers.
- Communications. Assess the best channels for reaching the residents of your community. Use our 9-question language proficiency template to determine which languages to use, as well as our mobile or social media usage templates to broaden your reach and accessibility.
3 Quick Tips to Improve Survey Response Rates
We provide guides on how to write good survey questions, as well as create and conduct surveys. Check them out! And in the meantime, try these tips to encourage respondents to complete your surveys.
- Keep it positive and solutions-oriented. Explain the purpose of your survey in a brief introduction. Tell your respondents how you'll use the information. For example: "This survey is meant to help identify public safety improvements for our community. Your feedback will help us decide what we should focus on first."
- Make your survey as accessible as possible. We build stronger communities by including as many people as possible. All of our standard survey designs comply with web accessibility standards (by U.S. Section 508 standards), and you can deliver them online in a variety of ways or by telephone.
- Be brief. Shorter surveys are easier for respondents to complete. Be sure to indicate how long yours will take.

"At this time in my life, I'm ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn't ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."
"Courtyard" (2006)
"I don't necessarily view the making of the painting as a sequence of solving problems. I see it more as a sequence of responses. So, for me, there's the big gesture. Okay. I did it. Now what am I going to do with it? I don't necessarily see it as a problem, but more as a challenge. How do I enhance the meaning? How do I perfume it? So it's more of a call and response."

Don't forget KIDD for the best of the best or Shilen for barels . Then go where your budget allows.
We have two 10/22's. One with a 16" midweight clark barrel and delux 2 1/lb trigger group in a hogue stock.
The other.
Boyd's stock, kidd 20" barrel, jard 1lb trigger, stock is blocked and bedded. Both very accurate but the kidd barreld rifle is heavier and easier to bench makeing it easier to shoot well.
cheaper to buy a CZ 452 or a savage mkII heavy barrel rifle as they will shot just as well just not as fast. Or to save a bunch of money buy a nice older used marlin 60, do a trigger job to it as some of them can flat out shot.
Parts are on there way. I think the only Ruger part will be the magazine. I'm starting with a thumb hole laminate stock, Revolution Tundra. I wasn't sure what to get for the receiver but I decided on a Tactical Solutions X-Ring. The trigger group is a Volquartsen Match. I'm still waiting for the Clark Barrel, Stainless Steel Fluted. I haven't decided on a scope. I think I want something with a variable power up to 12 or 16. I'll have to look at a few in person before I choose. When I get it together I'll post pictures. It is amazing what is out there for these 22s.

But it's not modifying the content. It is just automating the fast forward process.
1 recommendation
What they need to do is create a separate file with a marker of the start and end times of the commercial breaks. Then, leave the recordings alone and integrate the original recording and the time file with the playback. Many "roll your own" DVR's with 3rd party software have done this for many years. Too bad Dish is drawing so much attention to commercial skipping.Networks have abused the public for far too long, with 20 minutes an hour of commercials, annoying fly-overs of graphics, cheesy product placement, and so many other things. The people are fed up, and Dish recognized it and is capitalizing on it. Networks need to change their ways and their Hopper "problem" disappears too.

Actress Neha Dhupia is up and about for her next movie 'Moh Maya Money'.
Saif Ali Khan and Ileana D'Cruz were recently spotted promoting their upcoming movie 'Happy Ending' in Mumbai.
New Delhi: Saif Ali Khan, who has teamed up with Govinda for the first time in upcoming romantic-comedy 'Happy Ending', says the 'Hero No 1' actor is the most authentic star of the Hindi film industry.
Saif Ali Khan's performance in `Happy Ending` will be something to watch out for - if his co-actor Govinda's word is anything to go by.
Actor-producer Saif Ali Khan, last seen in "Humshakals", says his new film "Happy Ending", a romantic comedy, features him in a "subtle" avatar as opposed to some "loud" roles he has essayed in the past.
Actor Saif Ali Khan, who unveiled the trailer of 'Happy Ending' with the movie's star cast here, has promised to offer fun and entertainment via the film.
The much anticipated trailer of Saif Ali Khan's `Happy Ending` is finally out. The movie has an ensemble cast of multi-talented actors including Ileana D'Cruz, Ranvir Shorey, Govinda and Kalki Koechlin besides Saif.
In India, existing comedians have gotten popular but, as far as breaking through, there are barely five to six English comedians who have made it in the last two years across the country.
Actress Preity Zinta shot with actor-friend Saif Ali Khan for an upcoming film `Happy Ending`.
Popularly known as `Madhubala` in television world, Drashti Dhami is out of `Jhalak Dikhlaja 7` and would no longer be hosting the show.
Newcomer Shashank Arora considers himself blessed for having bagged the starring role in `Titli`, which will see its world premiere at the on-going Cannes Film Festival.
`Titli` is slated to make its world premiere in the `Un Certain Regard` category at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival. The team recently launched the movie`s YouTube promo via the YRF channel.
Life has come full circle for actor Ranvir Shorey - he is back on television to host the new season of dance reality show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 7". He started his career as an anchor-VJ.
Kanu Behl`s `Titli`, which has been chosen for screening at the Un Certain Regard section of the 67th Cannes International Film Festival, is one of the "strongest" films capable of putting Indian cinema on the global map, says producer Guneet Monga.
The makers of `Titli` - director Kanu Behl and co-producer Dibakar Banerjee - are confident that the "difficult and exciting" journey of bringing `Titli` to life will bear fruit for them when it is screened at the prestigious Cannes International Film Festival next month.
Indian filmmaker Kanu Behl`s `Titli` has been chosen for screening in Un Certain Regard section of the 67th Cannes International Film Festival, to be held May 14-25.
Model-actress Mugdha Godse has shot down reports that there is something brewing between her and actor Ranvir Shorey after the duo participated together in a reality show.
Ranvir Shorey is miffed with speculations that his marriage with Konkona Sen Sharma has fallen apart and has clarified that they both are "together."
Ranvir Shorey has mostly done comedy or serious films, now wants to feature in a complete action entertainer
He`ll be remembered for his accurate comic timing and effortless humour in films like `Bheja Fry` and `Khosla Ka Ghosla`, but Ranvir Shorey does not think he has managed to make much of a mark in the Hindi film industry.
