Soaring Costs of Energy Slow Economic Growth; 'Soft Patch' Expected to Continue
Byline: Patrice Hill, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Record-high energy prices thwarted consumer and business spending in the first quarter, causing growth to fall off to a 3.1 percent pace, the slowest in two years, the Commerce Department reported yesterday.
The oil-induced "soft patch" set in last month when premium crude oil prices soared to more than $58 a barrel in New York trading, and most likely is continuing in the spring quarter, economists say.
Because no one can say how long oil and gasoline prices will stay elevated, it's difficult to predict how long and deep the effects will be on the economy.
Despite a setback in the last week, oil prices remained higher than $50 yesterday, while average gasoline prices remained only pennies below their nationwide record of $2.28 a gallon.
Worries that the slowdown may be long-lasting have plagued Wall Street, where the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted another triple-digit plunge of 128 points yesterday. The Dow is down nearly 800 points from its February high, sinking further with each new report showing a loss of economic momentum.
Some think Wall Street is overreacting.
Although growth is down from last year's robust 4.4 percent pace, it has fallen only to the average rate of expansion since the mid-1980s, noted Richard Yamarone, economist with Argus Research Corp.
"A moderation to 3.1 percent isn't a bad thing," he said, adding that growth continues to be good enough to support the creation of about 155,000 new jobs a month.
Consumers continue to be buoyed by rapid growth in the value of their homes - with housing giving a "blistering" performance of 5.7 percent growth in the otherwise "milquetoast" quarter, he said.
The "wealth effect" from rising home values has bolstered confidence and enabled consumers to finance spending on other items. Thus, spending growth slipped mildly to 3.5 percent from 4.2 percent in the fourth quarter in 2003.
The report showed that businesses were hit harder by the jump in costs for energy and other raw materials - and may have been caught unawares. Business spending on computers and other investments dropped sharply to 4.7 percent from 14.5 percent, while unsold inventories soared by $80 billion - the most since 2000. …

Additional Information
About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya. In July 2007, Yehu became a separate entity from CHOICE and was registered as a trust. Since then, Yehu has expanded to cover over half of Kenya's 13 coastal districts.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Cosmetic surgery is elective (typically not covered by insurance) and a popular choice for restoring and enhancing the appearance of particular areas of the body such as the desire for a flatter stomach, smoother skin and fewer wrinkles. 2016-04-05T17:26:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2016/04/05/the-differences-between-cosmetic-and-169191 Mountcastle Plastic Surgery http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2016/03/18/the-benefits-of-looking-and-168469 The Benefits of Looking and Feeling Beautiful Beauty has the power to demand a premium in terms of increased confidence, heightened positive beliefs and more opportunities in career and life experiences. 2016-03-18T15:35:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2016/03/18/the-benefits-of-looking-and-168469 http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2016/03/08/banish-hair-removal-battles-with-168467 Banish Hair Removal Battles with Lasers Using lasers to remove hair is significantly more effective because of its ability to reduce hair long-term while providing lasting results into the future, unlike more temporary methods like waxing, sugaring and depilatories where hair grows back. 2016-03-08T15:22:00-05:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2016/03/08/banish-hair-removal-battles-with-168467 http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2016/02/22/cosmetic-procedures-for-a-selfie-167717 Cosmetic Procedures for a Selfie Culture In today's increasingly voyeuristic paparazzi culture, what people in the public eye do or don't do is open for anyone and everyone to comment on.

The body naturally eliminates the crystalized fat cells and existing weight re-distributes throughout the body. This method permanently reduces the number of fat cells but gaining weight will add new fat cells to the body. In contrast, diet, exercise and surgery reduce the size of fat cells, but the number of cells remain the same. Another option for body contouring is liposuction. This sculpting option removes pockets of localized fat, helping to slim and reshape the body. Liposuction works well in conjunction with body lifts, breast reductions and/or a tummy tuck. 2016-01-15T10:55:00-05:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2016/01/15/achieving-fat-loss-goals-in-167711 Mountcastle Plastic Surgery http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/12/29/looking-your-best-for-the-166305 Looking your Best for the Holiday Season During the month of December there's a good chance you'll be attending a number of holiday-related occasions.

By the time we become adults, we have a number of scars that mark milestone events in our life such as having chicken pox, learning to ride a bike, and falling off playground equipment.

Breast augmentation is something many of us may have considered at one time or another. For some, the idea occurs when breasts don't develop as fully as we may like. For other women, breast augmentation becomes a consideration later following pregnancy or in response to the body's natural aging process. If you're giving thought to breast augmentation, you're not alone.

Perhaps you've put off the idea thinking that another couple of months of strict dieting and muscle sculpting exercise could be an "easier" alternative? Unfortunately, aging, heredity, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy have the ability to create areas of fat that remain resistant to even the most disciplined eating and exercise regimes. In these cases, the best option might be liposuction, which removes excess fat and offers the added bonus of reshaping and slimming the body. 2015-11-17T13:41:00-05:00 Timothy Mountcastle firstname.lastname@example.com true false true /2015/11/17/reducing-exercise-and-diet-resistant-165225 http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/10/28/have-you-considered-a-varicose-164519 Have you considered a Varicose Vein Screening? Do you suffer from varicose veins that create an itchy, burning or aching sensation when you sit or stand for too long? If so, you're not alone. Varicose veins can be both painful and unsightly, and perhaps most frustrating, the reason they occur still remains a mystery. For some, varicose veins are part of the genetic make-up, handed down from one generation to another. Others develop varicose veins as the result of standing for long periods of time. Varicose veins can also form during pregnancy or can result from obesity or the natural aging process. 2015-10-28T14:04:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2015/10/28/have-you-considered-a-varicose-164519 http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/10/14/reducing-exercise-and-diet-resistant-164517 Reducing Exercise- and Diet-Resistant Fat with Coolsculpting Are you someone who makes a consistent effort to eat well and exercise? If so, then you know the frustration of fat that remains resistant despite great efforts. Depending on your body make-up, genetics and number of pregnancies, you may have stubborn areas on the body that you're unable to reduce no matter how many crunches, lunges, squats, weights or Pilates you do. In the midst of these sweat sessions or in making the choice between a salad and the food you really want, you've probably wondered to yourself if there's an easier way.

For many, it's the cosmetic injectable's wrinkle-smoothing powers and brow lifting abilities. You might be surprised to learn these cosmetic uses are just a few of many applications for this increasingly versatile medical tool. The creation of Botox is the invention of ophthalmologist Dr. Alan Scott who developed the injectable as a way to treat patients with crossed eyes. Since its creation in the 1970s under the name Oculinum, doctors continue to use Botox to treat a range of conditions in a growing number of specialties such as general practice, dermatology, urology, ophthalmology, and plastic surgery, to name a few. Botox Crossover Applications Until the last couple of years, marketers concentrated on highlighting Botox for its ability to diminish the look of wrinkles.

What's best? At one time or another throughout our lives we are likely to take up the battle against dull skin, acne, wrinkles, fine lines, brown spots and post-breakout red spots. When looking to deal with these skin-related inconveniences, it's human nature to reach for what appears to be the quickest and easiest fix. Many times, these so-called fixes come in the form of skin care self-diagnosis and a personal "prescription" for over-the-counter drug and department store purchases. These quick fixes lure unsuspecting consumers with light, seductive fragrances, beautiful packaging, and unreliable claims. Then after several days or weeks of use there comes the inevitable realization that the long-term solution still remains out of reach. 2015-08-24T12:23:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2015/08/24/medical-grade-versus-over-the-162115 http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/07/29/throw-away-the-razor-forever-161167 Throw Away the Razor Forever Summer means tank tops, swimsuits, shorts, and strappy sundresses.

Unfortunately, you're not alone. The misery of acne breakouts raises its head in adolescence and can follow an individual until long after menopause. What can be even more irritating is the mystery of acne. Similar to a bad hair day, there's no one cause, leaving individuals constantly on the lookout for a skin care regime that addresses evolving needs. 2015-06-29T14:58:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle firstname.lastname@example.com true false true /2015/06/29/fighting-acne-the-age-old-160109 laser skin resurfacing http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/06/25/getting-skin-ready-for-summer-160107 Getting Skin Ready for Summer As the calendar progresses throughout the year, it somehow becomes easier to let go of things. After a winter of wearing layers and staying indoors, springtime gives way to an urge to clean and tidy while summer finds many of us shedding the extra layers. For some, this action could be the removal of layers of clothing in order to feel the sun against our skin, while others opt for a literal lightening through weight loss, liposuction or body contouring. Removing the extraneous layers is the perfect metaphor for the easy-going nature of summer. 2015-06-25T14:54:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle firstname.lastname@example.com true false true /2015/06/25/getting-skin-ready-for-summer-160107 cosmetic surgery http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/05/27/dermal-fillers-restylane-and-perlane-158799 Dermal Fillers: Restylane and Perlane Ever notice how some of our best references have an element of the past inherent in them? Looking for the perfect hair color for highlights? One of the best references could be pictures of our hair when we were young.

Its popularity can, in part, attest to the number of issues addressed through the surgery. Depending on the individual, these can include choosing a breast augmentation for the purposes of enhancement, reconstruction or repairing a physical defect. Because of the sheer number of doctors performing breast augmentation procedures, it's important to make sure the plastic surgeon you choose meets a number of important qualifications. This can help assure that not only is the elective surgery performed safety but it also achieves the desired results. 2015-04-20T15:53:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2015/04/20/5-keys-to-choosing-the-157565 http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/04/10/injectable-drugs-for-fat-reduction-157189 Injectable Drugs for Fat Reduction Eating well, regular exercise and a regime of good sleep can go a long way in creating a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, even the most diligent can find that those things alone are not always enough to create the body that they are looking for. When this occurs, one option to consider is body contouring. This can be an easy way to change the shape of the body, its proportions and curvatures all with a minimum of trauma to the body and little downtime. 2015-04-10T09:53:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2015/04/10/injectable-drugs-for-fat-reduction-157189 http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/03/18/revising-breast-augmentation-with-implants-156325 Revising Breast Augmentation with Implants or Fat Grafts Unlike a warranty on a car or major appliance there's typically no limit as to how long breast implants will remain trouble-free. For some, implants will last up to 10 to 15 years, but often shifts within the body or lifestyle changes will trigger the desire for change long before there's trouble with the implant. Over time, the skin of the breasts experience changes in elasticity as a result of skin stretching through weight loss or weight gain, causing shifts in the position of the implants. 2015-03-18T12:47:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2015/03/18/revising-breast-augmentation-with-implants-156325 breast http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/03/11/complex-solutions-for-recurrent-vein-156319 Complex Solutions for Recurrent Vein Problems The presence of some things in life can be explained while others we can only venture a guess. When it comes to spider veins, the cause remains a mystery. Spider veins are the thin red or blue lines that commonly appear on the legs, feet and also on the face. Typically harmless, the veins can cause an aching, burning or itchy sensation when an individual spends too much time sitting or standing. For most, the choice to remove spider veins is primarily based on aesthetics. Currently there are two treatment methods approved for spider vein treatment: sclerotherapy and VeinGogh. 2015-03-11T12:36:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2015/03/11/complex-solutions-for-recurrent-vein-156319 veins http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/02/23/the-effect-of-capsular-contracture-156313 The Effect of Capsular Contracture on Breast Implants Through a variety of technological innovations, the look and feel of breast implants continues to improve. Despite these advances, the internal body cannot be fooled into thinking that they are real. The implants, which are viewed by the body as a foreign invader, trigger an immune response that generates a woven matrix of collagen fibers. These thin, nearly transparent strips enwrap the implant, creating the permanent shortening of a joint or muscle. Medically this is known as contracture. 2015-02-23T12:21:00-05:00 Timothy Mountcastle firstname.lastname@example.com true false true /2015/02/23/the-effect-of-capsular-contracture-156313 http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2015/02/10/diep-flap-reconstruction-offers-a-156295 DIEP Flap Reconstruction Offers a Natural Look and Fewer Complications The diagnosis of breast cancer is a life-changing event. If the diagnosis requires a mastectomy (removal of the breast) and subsequent reconstruction, the process can be a significant blow to a women's self-esteem. Beyond dealing with a life-threatening illness there is also a very valid concern of losing part of the body to the disease. Better than Prior Options In the past, women had fewer breast reconstruction options beyond the TRAM procedure (Transverse Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous). This procedure was more invasive and had the potential of a hernia or abdominal bulge post-surgery. Today, there is a much more advanced form of breast reconstruction available that preserves the abdominal muscles. The DIEP Flap Reconstruction (Deep Interior Epigastric Artery Perforator Flap) removes blood vessels, skin and tissue from the abdominal area to rebuild the breast using a flap of blood vessels in the chest.

Each place where the bones of the skeleton fit together are called joints, and just as you may remember from the Dem Bones song, the knee joint connects the bones of the thigh and shin.

If you're someone who regularly exercises and watches what they eat, it can be incredibly frustrating to find that no amount of hard work can dissolve the areas that you most want to reduce. Depending on where you carry your extra weight, you may find unwanted fat accumulation in the arms, back, stomach, legs, face or neck.

Any time that an unexpected lump or bump shows up on your body it's worthwhile to do a little research in regard to what might be the cause. One potential reason for a lump could be a lipoma. This is a benign (non-cancerous) fatty tissue growth. The capsule of fat cells that makes up a lipoma is typically found sandwiched between the skin and a layer of muscle below. A lipoma is the most common form of non-cancerous soft tissue growth in the body. 2014-12-12T10:32:00-05:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2014/12/12/what-is-a-lipoma-and-152622 lipoma http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2014/11/26/how-do-i-know-if-152048 How do I know if Botox is Right for Me? It's hard to watch a Housewives marathon without thinking about cosmetic surgery and Botox® Cosmetic, but those are obviously extreme examples. For most consumers, Botox® Cosmetic treatments can be a great way to subtly turn back the clock without undergoing a cosmetic surgery procedure. What is Botox® Cosmetic? Botox® Cosmetic helps accommodate for the natural loss of elasticity that occurs from frowning, smiling or furrowing the brow. The injectable has the ability to weaken or paralyze the muscles or block the surrounding nerves near the spot of the injection. As a result, nerves in the treated area cannot release acetylcholine, a chemical that enables muscles to contract. The amount of toxin that's used in Botox® Cosmetic is quite minute, and Botox® Cosmetic has been safely used by medical practitioners for twenty-five years.

Blog Title: What Causes Pilonidal Cysts If you're someone whose job or lifestyle includes long periods of sitting, you may find yourself dealing with the pain and discomfort of pilonidal cysts. These pimple-like elements occur when a hair works its way into the skin and becomes embedded. The result can become an inflamed area under and around the surface that has the potential to cause pain and to become infected. These abnormal pockets of skin are often located near the tailbone, directly above the cleft in the buttocks. They are created as a result of friction and pressure created by skin against skin. Other potential causes of this painful situation can include tight clothing, bicycling, and sitting in the same position for extended periods of time. What Causes It? Most medical practitioners believe that pilonidal cysts are caused by the embedment of coarse hair under the surface of the skin. Others hypothesize that the cysts could be 2014-11-26T22:04:00-05:00 Timothy Mountcastle firstname.lastname@example.com true false true /2014/11/26/what-causes-pilonidal-cysts-152046 "pilonidal cyst" http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2014/10/29/allergan-masterclass-with-dr-mauricio-150690 Allergan Masterclass with Dr. Mauricio De Maio Amy Herrmann, our Chief Aesthetic Nurse, attended an Allergan Masterclass on Monday evening to further her skills and knowledge on injecting techniques. 2014-10-29T13:06:00-04:00 Timothy Mountcastle email@example.com true false true /2014/10/29/allergan-masterclass-with-dr-mauricio-150690 Allergan, Voluma, Masterclass http://www.mountcastleplasticsurgery.com/blog/2014/10/03/first-impression-friday-149818 First Impression Friday Guest blogger, Cathleen, is back and with another review for the Osmosis line.

About 90% of all skin cancers are associated with exposure to the sun's harmful radiation. Although UVA rays do not cause sunburn, they do penetrate deeply into the skin and cause wrinkles.

Between March 29 and April 1, more than 120 athletes were screened in each discipline. Many of these athletes had never seen a doctor before, and many were referred to hospitals in the district or the capital city of Lilongwe. In addition to universal health issues like dental cavities, many athletes suffered from conditions not commonly seen in other countries such as skin infections and hearing problems resulting from prolonged meningitis attacks. Special Olympics Malawi is one of 14 programs designated as a Healthy Community by Special Olympics due to its dedication to expanding health services to its athletes. The Program has conducted additional, similar travelling Healthy Athletes events in the central and southern regions of the country in April.

Offer seeks up to $30 million, SEC could respond this weekNOVATO — Circle Bancorp, the parent of Circle Bank, may hear as early as this week if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will approve a filing requesting to raise between $20 million and $30 million in capital through an initial stock offering.
Kit Cole, chief executive officer and chairman of the board, said once they get approval, they will be able to price the offering.
[caption id="attachment_26558" align="alignleft" width="144" caption="Kit Cole"][/caption]
"The main reason for going public now is that we can't think of a better time for a healthy bank to be raising capital," she said. "Most companies that are raising money are trying to dig themselves out of a hole, and that means investors are buying shares of broken banks. In this case they are getting management that has been able to thrive during the worst period of banking since the depression, a management that has been able to manage risk control."
"A key element of the bank's plans for expansion is to strengthen core deposits by focusing on business banking and business lending to clients from whom we can obtain their entire core deposit banking relationship," the filing document read.

You Can do that, but you need a TV-Tuner Card for it...!
Ohh...k! I have a TV-Tuner and i tried a lot of stuff my self, but nothing seems to work! please help me out with the connection part...! would be really greatful!
hey H/Wman! it worked, there's some more configurtion with the software which i did, i dont remember excatly, but anyone would figure it out, its easy! thanks man! thanks a lot!
I've tried according to ur instruction. Its working. Gr8 dude. One doubt. Can i watch it both on TV and in system simulataneously like cable works.
I have Lap top - compaq. How to know it is having TV tuner card?
Thanks everyone
Surely, Connect your Tata Sky's Video Out on the Composite In (Yellow) of the TV-Tuner Card. now change the source in the Software to composite Video. Dont scan for channels, as S-video sends a pre-decoded signals ans most of the tv-tuner doesn't scan for channels when its a composite video input. change the audio cable. you'll need a new audio cable that has the same pins at the tata sky end (Red, White for right, left) and a 3.5mm jack at the computer end and plug it in the audio in (blue colour) port of your sound card. switch on the tata sky and make ur life Jingaalaalaa! all the best!
reply if there is some changes with the procedure!
This is how my TV Tuner Card looks like
Pixel View PV-M4500:

Hey guys,
Thanks a ton for these useful posts.
I have a small query:-
I just want to watch Tata Sky on my PC without the need for recording any shows. Do I need any ordinary TV Tuner card or do I have to go for something like Pixel View PV-M4500?
Can someone tell me the approximate price of such a TV Tuner card?
Thanks in advance
No you don't require any kind of standard TV tuner card you can go with the ordinary card also but ordinary TV tuner card might not give you the proper functionality with the Tata sky. If you ask me then i will advise you to contact the Tata Sky customer center and ask for the compatible one which can run with the Tata sky well. You can also go with the Thompson STB which is having both A/V as well as coax output in it that is supported by the Tata Sky. So if you can then go through the same and see whether it is working for you or not.
When I asked Tata Sky, those people asked me to go to a local technician. My technician did not have any knowledge about this issue.
But when I enquired at an Electronics store at Lamington road, they told me that they have a TV Tuner card manufactured by Crown & can record TV too. He was charging Rs 1.5k for it.
It is possible to connect TATA sky to computer. The process is same what you do to connect a cable connection to your computer. All you need is a good TV tuner card. And check one thing that it must have a AV facility in that. Now from your setup box just connect the AV cord to the port of the TV tuner card and done. You can then watch the programs on your computer.
i hv read out all ur reply abt query [How Do I Connect Tata Sky To My Computer?] with the help of ur reply, now i am able to watch tata sky on my computer but still i am not able to hear audio because i don't have any blue audio jack in my tv tuner card... i have only 4 slots [one is for cable, another one is also looks like cable slots but small then previous cable slot , third one is round slot with lots of dots in it ..with the help of this slot i can able to watch video of tata sky and last fourth one is very small round slot but the slot is not as much bigger, that i can insert a audio cable pin it plz help me out ......
Okay, so the audio goes, there are three outs behind the STB - left channel, right channel and mono. Over six months, my PC was the sound through a mono and another channel. To see if a similar system up. Not much you can do with the sound as TS goes (apart from increasing the volume of STB).
i have a Pixelview PV M4500 TV Tuner card , But i do not have a driver for it or any softwares.
My OS is windows 7 ultimate.. Will PV M450-0 driver work on it ...
Please help me out... Where can i get the drivers , i searched a lot for this...
HI purchased I-Ball claro tv tuner to fit on computer monitor , can i be able to connect to Tata sky or airtel dish and how

Actress Sonam Kapoor, who has stepped into Rekha's shoes for the "Khubsoorat" remake, says she is not even a patch on the senior actress who is still remembered for effortlessly playing the chirpy and carefree girl in the original.
In the remake, Sonam will be seen romancing Pakistani heartthrob Fawad Afzal Khan when it releases Sep 19.
"I don't think I can do justice to anything Rekha has done," said Sonam and added that for her it was more important to be part of a film that has some meaning and message.
Directed by Shashanka Ghosh, the new "Khoobsurat" has been produced by Sonam's dad Anil Kapoor and sister Rhea under their banner Anil Kapoor's Film Company Pvt. Ltd.
"These days very few films means something, have great values and at the same time they are lots of fun. Hrishikesh Mukherjee was one of the last few directors who made films like 'Guddi', 'Mili' and 'Khubsoorat' that actually had the vibes which appealed to everybody, had a message and was happy and fun film."
"Those kind of films Rajkumar Hirani is making these days and 'Khoobsurat' is one of the other one, which I am part of," said the 29-year-old.
Good cinema doesn't have to be dark or depressing.
"I don't think good film is something that is dark or dying one, I think it can be light also. We are going through too much in India and cinema has always been my happy space and this is my ode to Hrishikesh Mukherjee," said the actress.
Have you shown the trailer to Rekha?
"Rekha is very close to my family. She had even seen 'Aisha' and we had kept a separate trailer launch for her. For this film too, we are going to show her the trailer.

Corduroy the word, like the cloth, is of English origin, probably from cord plus the obsolete duroy, a coarse woollen fabric. Modern corduroy is most commonly composed of tufted cords, sometimes exhibiting a channel (bare to the base fabric) between the tufts. Corduroy is, in essence, a ridged form of velvet.

You know I don't know. I didn't pay too much attention to the UK offer. I know it wasn't available for the values.

A Greenwood man died after crashing into a interstate bridge support, and police are still trying to find out what caused the accident.
Indiana State Police identified the man as Paul Summers, 46, who died after the accident that happened about 5 p.m. Wednesday.
Summers was going north on Interstate 465 and was heading onto the ramp to get on Interstate 74 East. Police said he didn't make right right-hand turn onto the ramp, instead going off the road into a grassy median and then crashed into the concrete support, according to a news release from Indiana State Police.
Summers didn't appear to have tried to brake or swerve to miss the support, witnesses told police. Summers was the only person in the car.
Police don't know what caused Summers to drive off the road, Indiana State Police Sgt. Rich Myers said.
An autopsy was being conducted Thursday and could help investigators pin down a cause, he said.

About Yehu Microfinance TrustThis loan is administered by Yehu Microfinance Trust, which was founded in 1998 as a project of CHOICE Humanitarian Kenya.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Thunder notebook: 104-game streak ends
For the first time in 104 straight starts, the Thunder foursome of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, Thabo Sefolosha and Jeff Green was not introduced together.
Green did not play in Sunday night's 92-83 loss to Boston at Oklahoma City Arena because of a left ankle he sprained during Saturday's practice. He was replaced in the lineup by forward Serge Ibaka, who made the first NBA start in his career. Ibaka finished with 11 rebounds, eight points and one steal in 36:49 of playing time.
"I thought Serge was fine,†Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "He gave a good effort. He gave us a presence down low and he gives us energy. One thing I'll say about Serge is he gives us everything he has.â€
It marked the first time since March 11, 2009, the foursome was not in the starting lineup.
Brooks said Green is listed day-to-day. The Thunder's next game is Wednesday at home against Philadelphia, followed by a Friday game at home against Portland and a Sunday game at home against San Antonio.
With 1:05 left in the game, a technical foul was called on Durant for allegedly holding Paul Pierce's arm after a Westbrook basket.
However, television replays showed it was Pierce who actually held Durant's arm.
The NBA reviews all technical fouls. If the league rules in Durant's favor, his technical will be removed and he will not be required to pay a $2,000 fine.
Center Shaquille O'Neal, who has a bruised right knee, is on the Celtics' four-game road trip but did not play Sunday. It is uncertain when he might return and Boston coach Doc Rivers said he wasn't even sure O'Neal would make the trip.
"When I got on the plane, Shaq came on the plane. That's how much decision I made in it,†Rivers told ESPNBoston.com during Sunday morning's shoot-around. "I don't even ask. I never do. If he's healthy, he comes. If he's not, he doesn't. If he thinks he has a chance to play — and that's between him and (Celtics trainer) Eddie (Lacerte) , then he comes. But I never get involved in that. At least I try not to. I don't ever want a player to feel like I'm pushing him.â€
O'Neal has been sidelined after bumping legs with Amar'e Stoudemire on Oct. 29 and has missed four straight games.
"I'm always going on the trip, unless it's one of those 'out for four-to-five weeks' diagnosis,†O'Neal said. "But I'm close. I just want to be out there at least (at) 80 percent with the guys. I don't want to be out there half(way).â€
WHAT'S UP, DOC?
Rivers and Brooks chatted briefly at midcourt after the game.
"He said, 'Keep working with your young guys. They're going to get a lot better,' " Brooks said. "I have a lot of respect for Doc. He's one of the best coaches in the league and he understands what it takes to win a league championship. We want to get to that level one day.â€
Longtime wrestling announcer and Norman resident Jim Ross had a chance to work with the Celtics radio broadcast crew during the first half.
"It was on my Bucket List,†a smiling Ross said at halftime while visiting with OU women's coach Sherri Coale.
The Thunder and Celtics will complete their two-game season series in Boston on Nov. 19. … An estimated $10,000 was raised for the earthquake relief fund for center Nenad Krstic's hometown in Serbia. … Thunder rookie Cole Aldrich grew up in Minnesota and was a Timberwolves fan. His favorite player was the man he defended on Sunday night, 13-time All-Star Kevin Garnett.

Don Cummings,
co-founder of Journey Johnson County,
To the editor:
Are you a Johnson County business owner who wishes more people in Indianapolis would find out what you have to offer? Do you run an organization or manage a property that local residents don't seem to know about? Do you wish you had a better way to get your message to those visiting Central Indiana?
These sorts of things are exactly what can result from our county implementing a 5 percent innkeeper's tax. Indiana law provides that such locally adopted "hotel taxes" result in a convention and visitors bureau, which would promote what Johnson County has to offer — by way of publications, Web presence, local economy engagement and other publicity.
Further, evidence in our own state shows that convention and visitors bureaus "work" — returning multiplied money to the local economies and to local governments due to increased sales taxes.
But here's the main message: Without a bureau we remain at a competitive disadvantage. We are the only county surrounding Indianapolis that does not market itself with a bureau because we do not have an innkeeper's tax.
Leaders in nearby communities who do promote themselves have been quoted in their common desire to "keep Johnson County irrelevant." Do you want them to succeed?
Detractors of this idea maintain that either we have nothing to promote or that "no one would vacation here." They are wrong on the former and miss the point on the latter.
But to understand that, one must first understand the primary audiences of promotional efforts. The first audience is anyone who is planning to come to the Indianapolis area for unrelated reasons, such as for a conference or to visit relatives.
We'd like them to easily find out, for example, about the unique restaurant offerings in the county so they might come south out of Indy to see what we have. Or discover family-friendly fun places that might cause them to come back next time with their family. Or extend their stay an extra day to visit the craft breweries and wineries nearby.
The second audience is everyone in central Indiana who looks to those marketed counties for things to do on the weekend.
And finally, our own residents so they get out and experience what Johnson County has to offer and tell others about it.
If one still doubts that there is anything to promote in our county, here is a link to a recent magazine cover story on that very subject: www.indianacounties.org/egov/documents/1382972950_30003.pdf
We, the original nine volunteers of Journey Johnson County, hosted a tourism information forum at the Historic Artcraft Theatre nearly five years ago, an event for community leaders and interested citizens to expose them to the possibilities and to the successes of other nearby convention and visitors bureau professionals.
That was the same year that our county council failed to find the political will to pass the innkeeper's tax, cutting us off from the promotional dollars that would have come from all the Super Bowl 2012 hotel stays.
Now it is 2014, and the vote comes up again Jan. 13.
I encourage all readers interested in Johnson County being able to compete economically to contact their county council members by phone or email and to show up at the January meeting to express their opinions.
And I ask those same council members to have the courage to pass a tax that our hotel visitors would pay — the very same sort of tax we all pay everywhere else we go and never question it.
Why would our community leaders want us to stay at a competitive disadvantage?

Tip of the Day: Accounts receivable can be early sign of troubleJuly 18th, 2008, 1:00 am by Jan Norman, small-business columnist
Today's tip is from Raymond Joabar, general manager for American Express OPEN for Small Business, issuer of small-business credit cards, lines of credit and other assistance.
In times of economic downturn, the first signs of trouble can often be spotted in your accounts payable and accounts receivable. As your customers struggle to make payments, your own spending can be affected, leading to serious cash flow problems.
Here are some tips to help weather the storm:
- Get the most value out of your money. Collect payments from customers as early as possible and hold on to your own money as long as possible. Keep detailed records of the money that you're due and the money that you owe.

AbstractThis Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will evaluate a technology capable of meeting the demands of future mobile wireless information systems. The fundamental challenge facing designers of the physical layer of mobile networking solutions is to improve speed, precision, and power efficiency. Athena's proprietary arithmetic technology, which enables engineers to rapidly develop high performance semiconductors, can provide up to 10 times higher performance or up to 10 times less power compared to existing technologies. The Phase I study will evaluate opportunities to apply this arithmetic technology to mobile wireless systems by developing an infrastructure technology targeted for placement between the antenna and the back-end digital processor. The goal of the project is to demonstrate that this infrastructure technology can meet or exceed the industry performance standards in a 250mW, low-power package. The company will be able to rapidly develop high performance, high accuracy, low power solutions for the wireless communications market. Specific applications include use in automobiles where information, audio, navigation, and other services will be linked.
