VivoPrint Announces Free E-Commerce Design Tool
Photographers, illustrators, designers, artists, individuals, or any business that wants an easy way to generate revenue from their artwork or brand can easily leverage the VivoPrint technology to help showcase their work and make some extra income.
VivoPrint provides a tool, or widget, called the VivoWidget, that allows individuals or businesses to transform their static website into a custom product e-commerce website. Consisting of a few lines of HTML code, the VivoWidget can be used to sell small to large quantities of branded and decorated coffee mugs, laptop sleeves, t-shirts, and other usable promotional items. VivoWidget owners can customize products offered on their store with their brand of artwork or photographic design and sell it to their establish web audience. In addition, those customers can also customize a product, by uploading their own artwork and making it available for purchase through the VivoWidget. However, there is much more to selling just on one website.
The most compelling feature of VivoPrint is that any individual VivoWidget who chooses to do so becomes part of the VivoNetwork, where products can be shared and sold on other widgets that are out there. With this complete selling model, you can reach a large audience with or without your own website!
You might ask, what about product inventory? This topic was discussed in focus groups about the handling of product inventory and fulfillment. Benjamin Sun, V.P. of Engineering at VivoPrint.com had the answer. "You'll never have to carry any inventory, buy equipment, produce physical products, or handle shipping or returns! We handle all that painful, tedious processing!" Mr. Sun went on to state that close partnerships with fulfillment houses and artists puts VivoPrint ahead of the competition.
How VivoPrint works:
- Sign Up at VivoPrint.com
- Install the VivoWidget HTML code on a website or blog if you have one
- Design your product using our innovative tools.
- Select "Sell This" and fill in information such as pricing and categories.
- Promote your website so more people see your widget, or if you don't have a website just sit back and watch your profit come in.
- Make 100% profit on products sold directly on your VivoWidget
- Make 20% profit on each of your products sold on participating VivoWidgets
For more information regarding VivoPrint.com, the VivoWidget, and how you can become part of the VivoNetwork, please call (877) 836-5992.

Countdown to College: Slow down on early applications
The Common Application went live Aug. 1, and some very eager students have already submitted their applications.
Not so fast. Early may not be better. There is applying before the deadline and then there is the crazed family, most typically a parent, who is intent on submitting all the college applications in August.
While students can make changes once applications are submitted, it can be anxiety-provoking and time-consuming. It is far better to complete the applications, wait a bit and let the whole process marinate just a little. Ideally, students have worked on their essay(s) over the summer. Their best bet would be to finalize them, put them away for a few weeks, then reread them and perhaps make a final edit.
College admissions officers don't begin their "reading period" until all the information in an applicant's folder is complete; that means the updated high school transcript, most recent test scores and recommendations. No student will be penalized for submitting an application in mid-September or early October, as long as it is prior to the deadline.
What to do now:
• Work on the activities list. There are strict character counts on most applications (150 on the Common Application). Use your characters carefully. Watch your wording and describe your activities as specifically as possible. Check each application to see if you can download your resume.
• Set up accounts at all of the colleges where you plan to apply. Create a separate computer document where you list the college deadline, your user name and password for each school.
• Begin the data input. Start with the easy stuff – address, family, education history and testing.
• Ask for help. The recently released and newly overhauled Common Application has done a good job of anticipating your questions. There is a maroon circle with a yellow question mark on every page with answers to the most commonly asked questions. Additionally, you can submit a help ticket to their technological support team and they will respond very quickly.
What to do later:
• After you've written your essay, proof it, share it with others you believe will provide insightful comments and edit as you see fit, always making sure the essay still represents your words and is in your voice.
• Print preview. Before submitting your application, be sure to print a preview and proof each page carefully.

"If it feels good, then you're not doing it right" - Coach Scott Cochran
"Sharing a conference with Nick Saban is like sharing a steak with a lion. Only one of you wins that battle. And it's not you." - Gregg Doyel

Sure, I hate it for the OSU fans. I hate it for the PSU fans, too. Still, law without enforcement is vain. Enforcement without repercussions is also vain. We all suffered through repercussions for a signature on a napkin that was none of ours, and unfortunately the other fans sometimes get to take a dose of the same bitter medicine. Yes, it's rough. Man up, Buckeyes.
Louisiana is a fresh-air mental asylum.
― James Lee Burke, Pegasus Descending
Maybe the petition should have said, "let tOSU play in a bowl game this year, and we promise to take the punishment next year."
Ohio State could have sat those players but they wanted to win against an SEC team so badly they decided to pretty much give up the next season. Then they did well enough to get a Gator Bowl bid they could have refused. Ohio State is the kid who the parents gave the option of restriction, no TV, or a spanking, made their choice - and has now gone outside the family to say they shouldn't get punished because what they did was not a big deal.
If it wasn't a big deal then why didn't they just sit out the players in the Sugar Bowl?
Let me point something out - the mentality at Ohio State right now is no different than the one that brought down Penn State. Obviously I'm not comparing tattoos to rape but the entire football first mentality - to an extreme - will do them in as well.
Btw - Terry Bowden tried a more restrained version of the same argument when Auburn won 19 in a row in the mid-90s. But he at least was reflective, admitting that maybe cheating was the reason the Barn was unbeaten.
The first rule of Tidefans interactions - Selma does not use Google; Google uses Selma
Ohio State is Auburn North :-). Was it 1993 that the same thing happened to Auburn :-). I know 2004 was different though :-) LOL
The overtime win at home against Purdue, the escape against UAB at home, the seven point win over a 3-9 Cal team at home, and the 3 point win at Indiana are real signs of a championship caliber team.
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give me Liberty, or give me Death!" Patrick Henry
Agree, it would be different if they could play a good bowl game against a decent team to prove themselves. I just don't see how the AP could award them anything, the Big 10 has been noted as a weak conference this year. They need a quality win over a team outside of there.
Roll Tide
The latter suggestion would destroy college football. Many small schools think the situation you descibed already exists to some extent. They're right and wrong, but that's another debate. However, to allow the high school kids and their families to force school to engage in legal bidding wars for the best players out there would be the end of college football. Think Alabama can spend? If what you described is allowed, we could become small potatoes in a hurry. For example, suppose Mark Cuban wanted to spend a billion or so bucks he has sitting around. Under your scenario, he could call the barn, offer them virtually unlimited spending money to buy the players of which he approved, and essentially buy their football program . Add in a few more insanely rich people, and suddenly we have really young phenoms playing for a dozen or so teams in an pseudo-NFL league. All the other schools might as well forget playing those teams. A Saudi billionaire wants to buy a team for fun or Nike wants to really advertise their product? Hey, just pick a program and open the spigot. Too bad for everyone else - you won't even have a chance to get average players. Have the new billionaire owner toss some petty cash like $100,000 and a paid college education to every kid with no chance at the NFL in exchange for not playing at all, there'll be zero major college quality players left to get.

Every so often, there's a news article that completely slips by me. Perhaps this one is due to the fact that I was bobbing around Norway's Arctic Circle when it came out, but I'm kicking myself for missing it because it announces a pretty cool concept that everyone should be excited about.
Azamara Club Cruises have introduced what they call AzAamazing Evenings – exclusive evening tour options on each Azamara itinerary that can range from a waterfront party in Crete to an immersive night at the ballet, all – as the name might suggest – taking place at night.
These new AzAmazing Evenings just kicked off this week, with the start of the Europe season aboard the line's sleek (and recently repainted) Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest. Because the line focuses heavily on longer port stays and overnight calls, it seems to have made perfect sense to provide some custom-tailored night touring packages to guests.
"AzAmazing Evenings are authentic, exclusive and bespoke experiences that showcase the best of local life and often times, surprising and delightful colors and flavors of intriguing destinations around the world," said Edie Bornstein, senior vice president of Marketing and Sales, Azamara Club Cruises. "Azamara's unique value proposition of longer stays, more overnights and night touring on every voyage is what makes an AzAmazing Evenings event possible. The Azamara difference is that we are still in port long after other cruise ships have left."
Here's why you should be excited about these: for cruisers visiting Europe, the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the culture and spirit of the region you're calling in – even only if for a night – presents some stellar possibilities. In fact, some Azamara ships are in port for up to three days in a row, allowing you a chance to do your own thing and still participate in these new AzAmazing Evenings.
Here's a sample of what Azamara Club Cruises has on-tap:
For Wine Lovers: Guests on Azamara Quest's April 10, Monte-Carlo to Andalucia voyage will enjoy a complimentary AzAmazing Evenings event at the Cordoniu Cellars. The Cordoniu family has been producing Spain's famous sparkling Cava wine since the 16th Century. On this visit guests will learn how Cava is made, sample the varieties paired with regional specialties, and be treated to a stunning flamenco performance across six stages, with a chance to meet and chat with the performers afterwards.
For Sports Lovers: Azamara Quest's April 3, Springtime Along the Cote D'Azur voyage will take them to the charming port of Sete, France, where they will watch the ancient and colorful sport of water jousting, found only in this region of the world. During this AzAmazing Evenings event guests will share ringside seats on the Royal Canal, and enjoy the unique spectacle, along with a fine array of local food and libations, including French wines, shellfish, tapenade and savory canapés.
For Gourmands: During Azamara Quest's June 3, Basque Country to the Channel Islands voyage, gourmands will experience an evening of Basque cuisine at Azurmendi, a three-star Michelin restaurant. Guests will be treated to traditional foods with a modern twist by Chef Eneko Atxa with time to tour the gardens and wine cellar beforehand and watch appetizers being prepared at food stalls in the grand dining room as they listen to ancient txalaparta music.
For Festive Culture-Seekers: Guests on Azamara Journey's October 26, Greek Isles & Cyprus, Suez Canal to Oman & Dubai voyage will enjoy an immersive evening at Limassol, Cyprus. There guests will be transported to Omodus Village to explore this traditional mountain village of narrow cobblestone lanes. They will enjoy a private section of the square where dancers representing Cyprus' different regions will perform as they sample local wines and mezes.
For Theatre Lovers: An evening at the ballet awaits guests on Azamara Quest's June 22, Baltic Rendezvous & Kiel Fireworks voyage. This AzAmazing Evenings experience is held at the famous Mikkhailovsky Theater, where guests will be treated to a red carpet entrance, complete with champagne before sitting down to gala performance exclusively for Azamara guests. Before this exquisite evening of ballet in the beautifully renovated theater, guests will enjoy a regal greeting by the Russian Horn Capella orchestra.
For History Lovers: Azamara Journey's August 4, Vatican to the Acropolis voyage will feature a complimentary AzAmazing Evenings experience at a typical Piedigrotta, in Sorrento, Italy. The Neapolitan festival from medieval times will be transported back to ancient Naples. Guests will wander through an authentic 'village' set in a lovely garden along with singers, dancers and musicians dressed in 19th Century costumes as they enjoy medieval music and sample delicacies at realistic market stalls along the way.
For Music Lovers: Overlooking the Amalfi and Bay of Salerno, guests on Azamara Quest's September 7, Footsteps of Napolean & Amalfi Coast will enjoy an eveningat the village of Ravello, Italy. Perched on a cliff, the village is home to Villa Rufolo and the beautiful gardens that inspired Richard Wagner's second movement of Parsifal. During the evening they will be treated to stunning views of the sea as well as a classical concert followed by Prosseco and Italian sweets.
For Jetsetters: A beachside party awaits guests on Azamara Journey's July 11, Azamara Summer Favorites voyage, at lively Ibiza, Spain. Guests will dance the night way to a 60s-inspired retro party at the famous Nassau Beach Club, host to international jetsetters and Hollywood celebrities.
These exclusive events are to be held once per voyage and can be booked on-line prior to your cruise. I'd highly recommend booking these as soon as possible to avoid disappointment; don't wait to get onboard the ship, as these will likely go fast.
And so we get back to why I'm kicking myself for missing a press release that came across the lines back in February!
Check out the entire lineup of Azamara Club Cruises voyages available with our friends at Cruise Experts Travel!

THE softening-up process has begun ahead of next week's Federal Budget, so now is the time to assess your personal financial situation to avoid or understand any adverse fallout.
Before every Federal Budget, government ministers fly more kites than the Kite Runner to prepare for the worst. They'll look sternly at us and say "things aren't as good as they expected; because we're good economic managers we'll need to find savings; the global uncertainty means we'll have to tighten the belt".
The outcome is generally that the Budget is not as bad as expected and the Government comes out smelling like roses.
Not this year. The softening-up process takes on new meaning because the Federal Budget is facing a $12 billion black hole due to weaker revenue from company, carbon and mining taxes. Plus the National Disability Insurance Scheme and Gonski education program need new funding.
The bottom line is this year's Federal Budget will have to be tough because it's being squeezed by less money coming in and more spending on those two big policies in particular.
The Government says that "all options" are being considered. But what are the most likely options and what, if anything, can be done now to soften the impact.
* Widen capital gains tax net
Currently, capital gains tax is calculated based on your marginal tax rate less a 50 per cent discount; plus, the cost base on which the tax is based is indexed for inflation.
The only CGT exemption is a person's principal place of residence (home).
By comparison, any interest or income returns from investments are taxed at your full marginal tax rate with no discount or indexation.
Freezing the indexation is a possibility and there is talk of lifting the exemption on multimillion-dollar houses. It won't affect ordinary Australians but is dangerous as it could be seen as the thin edge of the wedge towards putting a CGT on all homes.
For most people, trying to get a quick sale on your house based on a hunch about changes to CGT is just too high a risk. So forget it.
* Increase Medicare Levy
The attraction of this strategy is a small increase in the levy rakes in a huge amount of cash because it takes from virtually every working Australian. Plus, it's one of those hidden levies that comes out of your pay without being obvious.
It's already been announced and is pretty well unavoidable.
* Tighten welfare eligibility
Rather than cut out welfare payments, a more palatable political strategy is just to make them harder to get.
It's almost certain there will be a further tightening of the screws on who gets payments from the baby bonus, childcare rebate and Family Tax Benefit. At the moment, a combined family income of $150,000 seems to be the general income test for eligibility.
Sit down now and work out just how close you are to the cut-offs and what impact it will have on your family budget.
Then make an assessment on whether it's worth cutting back income to maintain your eligibility or reducing spending to compensate.
* Tinker with super
The Government says superannuation is off the agenda ... hmmm. It's such a massive pot of money it's hard to believe a couple of lucrative nips and tucks wouldn't be introduced. But I suppose we have to take them at their word (did we just say that?).
* Change negative gearing
Abolishing negative gearing was tried before by former PM Paul Keating, was a disaster and then re-introduced.
But the Tax Summit a few years ago discussed ways that a cap could be imposed on the extent of negative gearing benefits to individual investors. That may be a possibility.
* Introduce death duties
This has been raised by the Opposition as a possibility to create uncertainty and fear among voters.
Death duties are generally considered to be political suicide even if they just target the rich. Again, it would be seen as the first step with the intention of widening it out.
A more likely scenario would be death duties by stealth through changes to capital gains tax when assets are passed from one generation to another.
If you think this is a possibility, consider talking to your solicitor and accountant.
> Credit to you: Play your cards right
CANSTAR last week released a major report of credit card options which, once again, underlines the significance of matching the right card to your personal financial and spending habits.
Credit card interest rates ranged from 9.5 per cent to 22 per cent, a massive difference that was largely determined by the extra "frills" attached to a card. If you want bells and whistles, then you pay for them.
Get the right credit card to suit your needs. If you religiously pay off your bill each month, there's no need to focus on interest rates, so look for a card with the features you want and a low annual fee.
If you never seem to be able to pay your bill in full, you need a no-frills credit card with a low interest rate.
Only spend what you can afford to pay back and get into the habit of paying your bill in full each month so you never incur interest charges.
Read your statements and pay attention to when your bill is due so you don't incur late fees.

Small Mammals
Small mammals are an important part of Coastal Southern California national parks because they support many wide-ranging predator species, such as the island fox and bobcats, and are closely tied to habitat alteration and degradation, as well as restoration. The NPS have and continue to conduct several small mammal studies to provide park managers with sound knowledge of the functioning of terrestrial systems. For example:
- At Cabrillo National Monument and the Point Loma peninsula, small mammals are monitored as part of the terrestrial herpetofauna monitoring program.
- On the Channel Islands, deer mouse population dynamics vary in response to numerous factors, including predator abundance and diversity, vegetation, and climate.
- In the Santa Monica Mountains, documenting small mammal distribution and abundance is essential to understanding the impacts of urbanization and fragmentation on natural systems in urban areas.
Data from these studies allow park managers to document native species recoveries and/or declines, responses to habitat restoration activities, climate change, invasions, as well as removal, of feral and non-native animals, and impacts of urban proximity and habitat alteration on the small mammal community and on the predator communities that depend on them.

Ethanol: Let Protectionism Expire
December 13, 2010
After more than three decades, the U.S. ethanol blenders' tax credit and the ethanol-import tariff that was put in place to offset it are set to expire at the end of the year. The ethanol tax credit alone costs taxpayers over $6 billion per year, say Harry de Gorter, a professor at Cornell University and a visiting fellow at the Cato Institute, and Jerry Taylor, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute.
- The expiration of these policies will have little, if any, impact on the U.S. ethanol industry, because the Renewable Fuel Standard requires Americans to consume an increasing amount of biofuels each year.
- The demand for ethanol will therefore not drop significantly even when the current tax credit (45 cents per gallon) and tariff (54 cents per gallon) expire.
- As a mandate, the standard acts as a built-in market for U.S. ethanol producers.
If the economic rationale for the ethanol-import tariff is to offset the tax credit, then the tariff should expire along with the tax credit. Letting the tariff expire can provide more competition in the ethanol market and allow more environmentally friendly ethanol onto the market -- such as Brazilian sugarcane ethanol, say de Gorter and Taylor.
The best thing President Obama and Congress could do for ethanol policy this year is nothing -- let the tax credit and tariff expire.

The Indianapolis Colts took on the Tennessee Titans yesterday in Nashville, and broke out of their rut in the process. Peyton Manning is back to top form, leading his team to victory with two touchdowns and no interceptions. It was a good night for the Colts. Not only did the Colts get back on track, but both team attained a bit of confidence as a result of their plays as well. Still, Indianapolis beat Tennessee for the fourth consecutive time in the end. It all came to a close at 30-28 after regulations time. Odds.
The Colts turned their losing streak around just in time. Had they lost any more than the three games they did, chances for the playoffs would have been dismal. Nevertheless, a sliver of hope remains after this match-up. Currently standing with a 7-6 record in second place of the anodyne AFC South, Indianapolis is only a half game behind the first place Jacksonville Jaguars. Even with numerous injuries, this team brought their old vigor back to the field. Manning came through with 25 of 35 for 319 yards, 2 touchdowns and his 63rd 300-yard game. He is now tied with Dan Marino for tops of the career list. Scores.
Most importantly, he wasn't intercepted! Player of the game in rushing Javarris James carried the ball 17 times for 48 yards and career highs, as well as his sixth touchdown in nine games. To make things sweeter, Reggie Wayne topped 100 yards again and was targeted seven times by Manning. With all the individual and combined efforts of this team, it's no wonder they won the game. While it was against one of the weaker teams in the league, the Colts really did shine through in this one. Las Vegas odds.
The Titans fell to six straight losses and a 5-8 record. They did manage 28, but it was the first time the team had a TD over the last 14 quarters. The tackling was discouraging, the defense failed to contain the Colts and good secondary was a hard to find. Perhaps they will break their losing streak and move from the bottom of the AFC South in their next game against the Houston Texans on December 19th.

This operator was created with the vision to run and manage a business that would offer our guests traveling to India an extremely personal form of travel, shared with members of the family.
We are based in the Nilgiri Hills of TamilNadu situated in the forested Western Ghats. These forested hills used to be home to the Toda tribes of the Nilgiris whose art consists of traditional garments spun from fibers and natural fruit and berry dyes sourced from the surrounding forests. With development, the tribes were forced out of their forest dwellings and were rehabilitated in villages outside. However this drastic change in their life, threatened the very art that defined their identity and the means to the only livelihood they knew. Being a part of the local community here in the Nilgiris, we took it up to make sure this art form doesnt die out like the ancient Toda lifestyle sadly has. We further their art today by sourcing all their products from their Community Center and encourage all our guests visiting us here in the Nilgiris to buy some artifact as a gesture of support towards the Toda lifestyle.
We support of the local village tea shops along our routes and the use of only local gasoline sourced from Indian Oil Wells and distributed by Indian Gas Stations. We use the local tribal guides on our teks. Their dedication and knowledge with regards to the forests is commendable and we make sure we give back with some monetary help after every trek and also in kind by supplying them with trekking shoes or clothes that we know they could use.
As long serving members of the Nilgiri Wildlife & Environmental Association (a local affiliate of the World Wildlife Fund), we had actively campaigned to halt the process of timber logging or for that matter clearing of natural forests for any reason whatsoever. As an organisation we represented our case in the Supreme Court, India's Highest Judicial Body, and received a decree that placed a blanket ban on any form of logging in natural forests in the Nilgiri Hills.
We have procured land on which, as a family we currently have planted 350-saplings with a 99% success rate. In addition, we sponsor the trees on lands owned by the forest department where over these years they have afforested with over 100,000 saplings, in this case with a 97% success rate. Today we have seen a rise in the bird species that thrived in these rain-forested areas. Within our property itself we have seen an addition of close to twenty-five bird species. we actively encourage our guests to plant and own a tree or tree saplings of their choice.
As of date, our guests have planted over 125 tree saplings of which all have survived. We keep our guests involved in this experience by emailing them progress photos of their sapling/saplings.
By contributing regularly to a Blind Orphan Childrens Home in a nearby town, we attempt to give these children back a life affected by blindness. At this orphanage, these children are taught skills like basket weaving, tailoring, etc. in the hope that they may become self-sufficient in the future.

Time Out has long sung the praises of Black Truffle, and for good reason. Selling some quirky yet wearable footwear for women and kids, the shop – a lovely space over two levels – has notched up a string of awards. The range of shoes is impressive, with brands such as Roby & Pier, Chie Mihara, Baltarini, Melissa, b store, Repetto and Timeless represented.
The shop also stocks tasteful bags from the likes of Abro, a small range of clothing (that's especially strong on knitwear) and tasteful accessories (such as Falke tights, Dents gloves, Maniyak hats and affordable jewellery). It may be located on painfully trendy Broadway Market, but the stock here is more safely stylish rather than avant garde, meaning that both designs and materials have longevity. There's also a central London store on Warren Street. Branch also at 52 Warren Street, W1T 5NJ (7388 4547).
|Venue name:
|Black Truffle

Write your query like the following, and you would be fine:
SELECT ROW_ID,ORDER_ID,ORDER_LINE_NUM, ORDERED_QUANTITY, PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION, SUGGESTED_PRICE,PRODUCT_ID,UNIT_OF_MEASURE, LAST_UPDATE_DATE,LAST_UPDATED_BY, CREATION_DATE, CREATED_BY,LAST_UPDATE_LOGIN, GL_ACCOUNT_CC_ID, ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY, ATTRIBUTE1, ATTRIBUTE2, ATTRIBUTE3,ATTRIBUTE4,ATTRIBUTE5, ATTRIBUTE6,ATTRIBUTE7, ATTRIBUTE8, ATTRIBUTE9, ATTRIBUTE10, "CURRENT_RECORD_INDICATOR" FROM dem_order_lines_v WHERE (ORDER_ID=:1)

Open SQLPlus and describe dem_order_lines_v
Ora-904 occurs because the db cant find the column in your select list, perhaps because the column name is case sensitive, or perpaps it just doesnt exist. For example:
Hope it helps,

I too got this error in the front end, though my form was compiling no absolutely no errors.
And whoever i consulted said that this is some issue with the query I m trying to fetch.
"ora-00904 current_record_indicator invalid identifier FRM-40505: Oracle unable to perform query"
But the issue was with the directory where i was compiling my form.
The compilation should be done on sever directory where one has all the PLLs copied/backed up.
So, instead of compiling in resource folder (dint want to take any chance n mess that up), i created a seperate folder of mine, copied all the pll's there and put the .fmb file there.
Then the compiled file worked fine.
6. Re: Current_record_indicator invalid identifier796401 Aug 3, 2012 3:49 PM (in response to 896107)I got this error too on the form whenever I wanted to use Oracle EBS "Current Record Indicator" feature.
I compiled on the server with all the pll form $AU_TOP/resource but the error persists.
For those suggested to rewrite the query, this is related to Oracle Forms, the query is generated by the engine from the datablock definition.
Oracle suggested to add a Current Record Indicator as standard user interface guidelines.
I tried to read the documentations from Oracle about this but it is very vague, I followed what they asked without success.
Any idea how to implement this "Current Record Indicator" feature properly in EBS?

Bryan Poyser
Jump to
Bryan Poyser often found humor in the unlikeliest of places and situations, especially when it came to his films. He began his career writing and directing short films such as "Pleasureland" (2001) and "Grammy's" (2007), slice-of-life narratives with offbeat, dark and satirical undertones. Poyser leapt to writing and directing full-length features with "Dear Pillow" (2004), an unadulterated look at a young man's yearning for companionship and sexual awakening set in the confines of suburbia. But it was "Lovers of Hate" (2010), a biting and twisted comedy about sibling rivalry, obsession and deceit all rolled into one painful love triangle that planted Poyser on the map and established him as a true maverick of indie films.

>> Next season brings bags from Vena Cava, but for Spring 2011, it was all about the debut of the seriously-platformed wedge sandals Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai did in collaboration with LA boutique TenOverSix. In fact, according to the Vena Cava show notes, the entire collection was designed in Los Angeles, where both Buhai and Mayock are from. The designers cited "the 1980s design movement Memphis, which used bold geometric shapes, bright colors, and a health sense of humor to refute 'good taste' design," as inspiration, showing up in "colorblocking and geometric construction, mixed with a southern California ease and less rigid way of dressing." Hence the flowy skirts, loose halter dresses, and even a pair of overalls snuck in.

StoredIQ writes: If you work for a mid- to large-sized company - say, one with more than $500 million in revenue - you are probably familiar with the problems of e-discovery. Your enterprise may routinely face five or more litigation matters each year, and you have terabytes of unstructured information that you need to sort through in order to find relevant information and place it on litigation hold. Here are 10 tips to choosing an e-discovery solution that can get up and running quickly, solve the problems you need it to, and pay for itself within months.
I recently received an interesting essay from a public relations officer, Dave Dix, who wrote:
"In the wake of Enron, Sarbanes-Oxley, and new Civil Rules of Federal Procedure in 2006 governing standards for preserving information, e-discovery (i.e., identifying, collecting, and processing electronic legal evidence) is turning into an ever-greater expense for many mid- and large sized companies. Unstructured information is proliferating, spending is skyrocketing, heavyweight analysts such as Gartner and Forrester are weighing in. More and more enterprises are deciding to bring e-discovery in-house, rather than have it performed by litigation support services firms. But when they do, they'll need to assemble a careful checklist of features their solution will need to have to be effective."
He then included the following essay from Ursula Talley, vice president of marketing for StoredIQ, a provider of "enterprise-class Intelligent Information Management solutions that enable organizations to gain visibility and control over business-critical information in order to meet compliance, governance, and legal discovery requirements."
The remainder of today's column is Talley's work (with minor edits). I was particular impressed that she does not even mention her own products!
* * *
If you work for a mid- to large-sized company - say, one with more than $500 million in revenue - you are probably familiar with the problems of e-discovery. Your enterprise may routinely face five or more litigation matters each year, and you have terabytes of unstructured information that you need to sort through in order to find relevant information and place it on litigation hold.
Worse, that unstructured information is growing dramatically: at a rate of up to 80% a year in many enterprises. Unmanaged and unplanned-for e-discovery tasks increase both risk and headaches for legal, IT, and business unit organizations. Outsourcing e-discovery to litigation services firms makes sense if you don't have much data or rarely face litigation, but it doesn't make good financial sense as your organization grows. That's particularly true if you work in highly regulated and litigation-prone industries such as banking, insurance, energy, or utilities.
Here are 10 tips to choosing an e-discovery solution that can get up and running quickly, solve the problems you need it to, and pay for itself within months.
1. Make sure your solution covers the full breadth of the e-discovery process as defined by the industry's EDRM (Electronic Discovery Reference Model) standard. Your solution needs to cover everything from information management, identification, preservation, and collection, to processing, and early case analysis – handing over only the smallest legally defensible set of data to the legal review team. Otherwise, you'll have to cobble together multiple solutions from multiple vendors, and create a bigger headache for yourself. Not to mention the compromised audit liability point solutions present.
2. Insist on an open integration platform that supports various e-mail systems, storage systems, archiving systems, and content and document management systems. If you're in the process of migrating data from a Novell server to an EMC Celerra or vice versa, for instance, you'll need something that can read files from both. Your solution should be able to read data from shared file servers, desktops and laptops including Macs and PCs, from content management systems such as Microsoft SharePoint and EMC Documentum, as well as from storage systems including EMC Centera, NetApp, Hitachi and IBM.
3. Ensure that implementing your solution doesn't reduce employee productivity. Flexible job scheduling allows processing to occur after hours, and it's essential to be able to capture documents needed for litigation without disrupting the production environment of your knowledge workers.
4. When locking down documents for litigation, be sure your system works in conjunction with existing corporate records management policies and functions such as data backup, migration, and file expiration/deletion.
5. Be sure you can map data by system location, custodian, access time, size, and content type. It's critical to be able to perform pre-discovery profiling of data so you can manage it, know your liability, and quickly respond to legal requests.
6. Your solution will need to make available all relevant and responsive electronically stored information to legal, HR, or audit teams before the collection process finishes; the cataloging process must not make your data unavailable.
7. Your software must not alter document properties when copying or moving it, because those properties themselves are important to maintain legal defensibility.
8. Your prospective solution must be able to execute forensically sound collection policies while providing defensible and comprehensive audit logs. These audit trails show where data originally resided, what search terms were applied to collect it, and when copies were made. Attaching unique digital signatures to files before and after they are collected proves that none of the actions performed altered the original content.
9. Insist on rich and sophisticated search capabilities, including natural language concepts within files and e-mails and their attachments. Besides being able to search on common metadata and simple text strings, are you able to perform sophisticated natural language-based searches that can differentiate between "Will" (the name) and "will" (the legal document) or "will" (the auxiliary verb)? Accuracy provides the smallest legally defensible set of data to be reviewed by the legal team, significantly reducing e-discovery time and cost.
10. Finally, be sure your solution is easy to deploy and maintain. If you have to spend weeks or months getting a system working before it can even begin accessing, categorizing, and reporting on information, you're at a huge disadvantage. Ideally, look for a self-contained, out-of-the-box appliance combining hardware, software, and storage that can provide results back to you within 24 hours.
Bringing e-discovery in-house is a big step. Many organizations find that in doing it, they're able to save themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars, dramatically reduce the time taken to respond to legal requests, and better organize their own internal processes and data storage. But finding the right solution is key. An incomplete solution that only addresses part of your needs, and only responds to yesterday's list of legal requirements, is bound to cause more headaches. Take the time for thorough evaluation, and make your decision carefully.
You'll be glad you did.

Carnival Pride; better than CATS (the musical): Carnival Pride Cruise Review by markjshap
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Pride; better than CATS (the musical)
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Baltimore
We are a married couple in our early 50's, and have 5 cruises under our belt, NCL, RC and Princess. We booked this Carnival cruise on the late side, but it fit our schedule as a week we could both get away. Have always heard that Carnival was a "step down" from other cruise lines; we actually were surprised by how pleasant things were, and would definitely travel with Carnival again.
Embarkation: We typically cruise out of NY (we live in the Phila. area), and this is our first time cruising out of Baltimore. What a piece of cake! Terminal is right off Interstate 95, about a 2.5 hour ride from home. Well staffed personnel direct us to drop off luggage and then continue on to parking ($15/day, cash or credit). It was a very short walk to the terminal More and check in was a breeze. Carnival staff were very helpful and friendly. We arrived a little too early for immediate boarding, but were seated in an orderly fashion and called by group number for boarding. Our room wasn't ready yet, so we headed up to the Lido deck and enjoyed a buffet lunch. Food was not "over the top" great, but very good.
Cabin: We finally made it to our cabin around 3:30. Our 9A category cabin was quite spacious (235 square feet with an 80 square foot balcony). Wooden laminate entryway floor, a desk area to the left, bathroom straight ahead, bed and couch/sitting area off to the right. The bed was comfortable and we slept well in it (frequently over-sleeping). Loads of shelving and cabinet storage space. Suitcases easily hidden away. Very functional room lighting that even featured a dimmer switch. Bathroom was small, but adequate. Lot of little shelves on both sides of the sink to place toiletry items. Toilet was at a comfortable angle, providing enough space to do one's business. Shower quite nice, with removable shower wand for easy rinsing of those hinterland areas. Balcony had two chairs a small table and a lounger. We sat out there quite frequently. We met our cabin steward, but rarely saw him after this initial meeting. Cabin was always kept in good condition, clean, neat. Towel animals were adorable, and a couple chocolates every night with turn down service. Oh, by the way, our cabin was just outside the aft elevators. We heard no elevator noise, and LOVED this location of the ship. Outside of a little rumbling from the rear engines, the location was great, an easy ride up or down to any of the restaurants. One cabin note in regard to the room TV is that the satellite programming has picked up the local Denver, CO affiliate. Due to the time difference, everything was always a couple hours late. Would have been nice to have an east coast affiliate, especially seeing that the majority of the passengers were from the Washington to NY City corridor.
The ship: The ship was beautiful, decorated in mainly Renaissance style artwork. The atrium was smaller than in other ships and slightly less impressive; some plants or fountains would have gone a long way. The public rooms were by far the most comfortable we've ever experienced. Lots of big comfy chairs and couches, many with ocean view windows; great to just settle in and relax or read a book. I like sports "stuff" and unfortuately the sports bar was one of the few areas that allowed smoking, so I stayed out of there. The Taj Mahal theatre was great, very comfortable, all couches except for individual seats in the balcony area.
Ship activities: On the "fun days at sea" it seemed there was always plenty of activities, obviously less on port days. We played trivia games (still can't believe I got 19 out of 20 on "Name that Tune" and lost), and participated in some other competitions (i.e. free throw shooting, ping pong). We played Bingo, $10 for one card, $20 for three; it was fun but we did not win. We passed the karaoke lounge, but, it was kind of painful to hang out there; no budding American Idols here. No problem finding a lounge chair to catch some rays on deck. The afternoon tea was one of our favorites; choice of tea, petit-fours, finger sandwiches - all very elegant. In room pay movies were available on demand, and there were some free movies although we had a hard time getting a schedule of what was playing when. Wife investigated and took advantage of the ship spa. It was kind of expensive, but she enjoyed her pedicure and here toes looked great in and out of her sandals.
Entertainment: This is an opportunity for improvement. With the exception of Jerel, a talented jazz pianist, the piano players/singers were average at best. Guitarists sung and played along with sequenced (canned) music and were frankly kind of irritating. The shows we saw were surprisingly good. High energy song and dance troupe, colorful costumes, good music (again a "small" big band playing along with canned music). 2 comedians were extremely funny. We skipped the ventriliquist. Cruise director Kirk did a nice job although his assistant Jamie was kind of annoying (how many times can you do that fake sneeze thing; enough already).
Food: The buffet was ok. The breakfast never changed. Would have died to see some corned beef hash or some smoked salmon or whitefish; have to go to the main dining room for that. Lunch in the buffet was actually very good. Salad bar was excellent. Some stations always stayed the same (pizza, deli, Oriental) and some changed daily to some international theme. 24 hour pizza, burgers and dogs quite good. We ate all our dinners in the main Normandie dining room. Wait staff (Darrell and Eleonora) were very attentive to our needs. Food, in my opinion, was outstanding. Tried a lot of things I have never had before, or have infrequently (escargot, chateaux briande etc.). On the "fun" ship, the wait staff does a song or dance number during dessert most evenings; it was a little hokey, but fun none the less. We did not eat at the high end steakhouse, David's ($30 cover); my wife did enjoy admiring the large statue of David, who was, how can I say, quite "gifted". We purchased a 5-drink package and sampled the drinks of the day.
Ports: Since this was to be our relaxing cruise, we did not book many shore excursions. We visited Grand Turk, walked around the shopping village for a little while and came back. The pool area here, however, looked very inviting. Half Moon Cay, Carnival's private island was lovely. Wife enjoyed the beach. Me, not being much of a beach goer, mooched around, enjoyed lunch and the tropical scenery. Last port was Freeport, Bahamas. We visited the Garden of the Groves (beautiful, despite still hurting from Hurrican Frances in 2004) and the Lucayan Port shopping area ("no, mon, I don't want to get my hair braided, thank you").
Overall: Very positive experience. I would not hesitate to cruise again or recommend Carnival to others. Less

Leif's Feedback on 7 Days Beijing, Chongqing, Yangtze, Nanjing, Shanghai Tour
Contribute by Leif from Denmark; Tour date: 11/4/2012
Dear Leon,
Yes, we had a great tour in China. As always when you organize a tour everything was excellent. Your guides are friendly. They speak a good English and they are helpfull in all matters. The Cruise was fantastic and we were very lucky with the weather when we were going through the 3 gorges. Also excuse us for the troubles we gave you when we because of fog had a delay of 4 hours. But everything went well and we arrived here in Australia, where we are going to spend a week also seeing the 100 % eclipse on Wednesday. Once again, thank you for a very good tour. We will come back to you next time we consider visiting this part of the World.
Many warm regards
Dear Leon,
Well back in Denmark after our tour in China and Australia I want to express my warmest thanks to you and your guides. Everything was very good. All the guides we met were friendly, helpsome and carefull. They spoke a good English and assisted us with everything. The cruise was fantastic and the day we went through the 3 gorges the sun was shining from a blue sky. Alltogether a wonderfull tour, and once again thank you for your assistance. We will come back to you if we are going to China another time.

I have the same problem
downloaded BT5-KDE-32.iso from both direct and torrent sites
downloaded BT5-GNOME-32.iso direct
Checked md5 on all 3 iso's all OK
Used unetbootin-win-549 to make a USB using all the 3 above iso's all with the same results
USB boots (both in eeepc and HP laptop ) and displays the BT5 logo screen.
pressing ESC shows begine mounting root file system
begine running /scripts/casper-premount
Can't do anything else
eeepc does not have CD so I created a live CD using ISO burner on XP box but this refuses to boot Tried all 3 iso's that I down loaded all the same.
Repeated the same as above this time using BT4 and it works ever time, both USB and live CD.
Any ideas or poiter please.
I have the same problem
I had the exact same problem as well. I fixed this problem by formatting and deleting my Sandisk Cruzer flash drive's U3 software that is built into the flash drive. I used this utility to get rid of the software: http://u3.sandisk.com/launchpadremoval.htm. I then used YUMI (I assume unetbootin would work too) and installed Backtrack 5 R1 and I no longer experienced the problem. I can run Backtrack as a live OS now!

Chocolate Beetroot Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
READY IN: 1hr 10mins
Recipe by Chef UK
Beetroot is transformed! The flavour disappears, but the vegetable gives this cake incredible moisture... Recipe taken from Abel & Cole Organics newsletter.

According to Matt Maiocco of CSNBayArea.com, A.J. Jenkins has "what appears to be a slight lead" over the likes of Quinton Patton and Ricardo Lockette heading into training camp as they all vie to become the 49ers' starting split end. They are competing for the spot vacated by Michael Crabtree when he tore his right Achilles' tendon one month ago. Anquan Boldin is already guaranteed one starting spot. Kyle Williams and Mario Manningham , both of whom are recovering from ACL surgery, will also be a factor once healthy. Williams might be ready for the start of training camp while Manningham, who also tore his PCL, may not be healthy until weeks into the regular season.
Fantasy Analysis:
Take this for what it's worth. A slight lead in a position battle doesn't mean much of anything in June, especially among a bunch of players who haven't earned the benefit of the doubt at the NFL level. None of these guys are more than a WR5 heading into drafts, and while I think Patton will end up being the youngster here with the most fantasy value in 2013, this competition could be turned on its ear if the 49ers add another veteran wideout during training camp.

1. Re: ie has encountered a problem and need to closeMichael Ferrante-Oracle Jan 15, 2013 3:04 PM (in response to Eslam_Elbyaly)This likely has nothing to do with the Reports Service. More likely this is a problem with having both Jinitiator and the Java Plugin installed. Try closing ALL open browsers and uninstall the Java Plugin and Jinitiator. Then reinstall only the jre you are using to run your Forms applications. For example if you are using Jinit (which I don't recommend) then install JInitiator only. Then retest. If it works, then you have proven there is a conflict. Since Forms 10.1.2.3 is certified to use JRE 1.6.0_xx, I would recommend that you ensure you have patched your installation to 10.1.2.3 and don't use Jinitiator since it has been desupported for many years.

Today Rep. Gary Peters denounced the House Republicans after they passed H.R. 358. In this debate, Republicans argued that their bill will prevent taxpayer dollars from being used for abortions once the health care law fully takes effect in 2014, however the Hyde Amendment, which prohibits taxpayer funded abortions, has been the law of the land since 1976. In fact, during the Health Care debate of 2010, this topic came up again and again, but the fact remains that taxpayer dollars are not used for abortions. The Republicans anti-choice bill actually goes several steps further - here's what it actually does:
* Endangers women's lives: H.R. 358 would allow hospitals or healthcare providers to deny abortions - even in emergency cases where the woman's life is in danger. Furthermore, they wouldn't even be required to refer women to other facilities that would do the procedure.
* Limits women's ability to make her own reproductive choices: H.R. 358 would effectively eliminate private insurance plans from providing abortion coverage in the new health care exchange which was created by the Affordable Care Act. This bill would prevent private plans that accept even one single subsidized customer from providing abortion coverage to any other customers of the same plan -- effectively eliminating private abortion coverage.
"Republicans talk about big government intrusion, but they just passed a bill which would allow hospitals to deny life saving care to women in emergencies," said Rep. Gary Peters. "This bill would also prevent women from using their own private dollars to make their own private reproductive choices. The Republican war on women is divisive and shows just how extreme the Republican Party is."
Overview of the Bill:
* The Bill Allows Hospitals to Refuse to Provide Certain Life-Saving, Emergency Care to Women. H.R. 358 allows hospitals to refuse to provide abortion care, or to refer the patient to a hospital that will, even when a woman's life is in critical danger. With regard to abortion care, it overrides the Emergency Medical Treatment & Labor Act (EMTALA), undermining this key provision of federal law that ensures all people access to emergency services, regardless of their ability to pay. EMTALA requires Medicare-participating hospitals that offer emergency services to provide stabilizing treatment for all patients who present an emergency medical condition. Such required treatment could include provision of emergency abortion care to a woman whose pregnancy imminently endangers her life. While the Affordable Care Act specifically preserved EMTALA's requirement that hospitals provide necessary emergency services, H.R. 358 allows hospitals to refuse to provide abortion care -- even for women in life-threatening situations. In nullifying EMTALA as it applies to abortion care, H.R. 358 places the preferences of hospitals before the lives of women.
* The Bill Restricts, for the First Time, How Millions of Women with Private Insurance Can Spend Their Own Private Dollars In Purchasing Health Insurance. This GOP bill takes unprecedented steps far beyond the Hyde Amendment. Beginning in 2014, the bill prohibits the millions of women and their families who are in the Health Exchanges and are receiving federal subsidies from purchasing any health plan that includes abortion coverage -- even if they are using their own private dollars to purchase the portion of coverage relating to abortions. This prohibition will affect most women in the Exchanges, since a large majority will be receiving subsidies. It is unlikely that insurers would then offer these policies to those women in the Exchanges not receiving subsidies, since they will be a minority.
* The Hyde Amendment Has Been In Effect for Decades and the Affordable Care Act Continues the Hyde Amendment Policy. For decades, the federal law has been that no federal funds can be used for abortions (except in cases of rape or incest, or when the life of the woman would be endangered.) There have been GAO audits, inspector general audits, and congressional hearings, and all have concluded that the law of the land is being obeyed. No federal funds are being used for abortions (other than for the three federal exceptions).
* Affordable Care Act Already Includes Provisions to Prohibit Any U.S. Taxpayer Dollars to Fund Abortions. This Republican bill is completely unnecessary. The Affordable Care Act includes extensive provisions, drafted by pro-life Senator Ben Nelson (D-NE), that relate to the new state Exchanges and abortion, including provisions to ensure that no federal subsidies on the Exchanges are used to pay for abortions. In addition, President Obama issued an Executive Order in March 2010 that reinforced that federal funding cannot be used for abortions (other than for the three federal exceptions) and ensured proper enforcement of this policy.

GREAT BIG SEA (Canada)
Guests: Tracey McNeil (duo)
Sorry, there are no tickets available for sale yet.
Some of Canada's favourite sons are touring Australia for the first ever time. This folk-rock partnership was forged in the harsh lands and rowdy pubs of Newfoundland where co-founders Sean McCann and Bob Hallet met while playing traditional folk songs for boisterous crowds. Forming Great Big Sea in 1993 in an attempt to create a new approach to Newfoundland folk music that combined their original music with the traditional sounds and instruments they had grown up with. Now, 17 years and nine studio albums later, Great Big Sea have won over a global audience with their eclectic musical mix. This is no ordinary 'sea shanty' band. Their influences range from Bob Marley, The Clash and Johnny Cash to Fergus O'Byrne and Donal Lunny. Watch this video for 'Love Me Tonight'.

Bamako (AFP) Sept 30, 2013
Dozens of disgruntled soldiers involved in Mali's 2012 coup fired guns in the air at a protest on Monday, wounding and taking hostage a close aide of mutiny leader Amadou Sanogo, military sources said.
The soldiers, based in the garrison town of Kati, near the capital Bamako, were unhappy at not having been promoted alongside colleagues also involved in ousting the president in March last year.
There was confusion over whether Colonel Habib Diallo had been released, with some soldiers inside the camp saying that he had been rushed to hospital for treatment on a bullet wound while others said he remained a hostage.
His condition was unclear and it was not known if he was deliberately targeted or caught by a stray bullet, but military sources told AFP he had been taken hostage shortly before being hit.
"The soldiers who worked with the military junta are unhappy because they have been left behind. Some of them were on the front line but they have not been promoted and they are angry," said a defence ministry official on condition of anonymity.
The official said that "measures are being taken to fully restore order in Kati" and an investigation was underway.
Sanogo led a group of fellow mid-level officers to overthrow then-president Amadou Toumani Toure on March 22 last year, upending what had been considered one of west Africa's flagship democracies.
The mutiny precipitated the fall of northern Mali to Islamist militants linked to Al-Qaeda but a military intervention by French and African troops in January chased the rebels from the region's main cities.
Mali was governed by a transitional administration following the coup until elections saw Ibrahim Boubacar Keita sworn in as the new president in September.
Since August, several authors of the coup or their relatives have been handed promotions, including Sanogo who was elevated from captain to lieutenant-general.
The former junta leader lives and works in Kati but was not present during the protest, a military source said.

Lily Allen has been boasting about trashing a dressing room.The 21-year-old singer bragged the rampage took place after her "amazing" show in Sydney, Australia, on her MySpace page, and even posted photographs of the room.She writes: "We got pretty drunk, went to see Kasabian play. We hung out with some of the other bands. Then we trashed our dressing room."Although Lily is proud of her drunken behaviour, she has been lambasted by angry parents who believe her antics set a bad example to young fans.One concerned parent said: "Although Lily obviously thinks she is living up to some rock 'n' roll ideal, the majority of her fans are young and impressionable. She should know better than to boast about wrecking a dressing room. Maybe she should concentrate on her music rather than destroy other people's property."Lily's behaviour follows her lashing out at paparazzi with a stiletto heel after last week's BRIT Awards.The 'Smile' singer, who lost out on three prizes at the ceremony, hit out at photographers after leaving Oasis' post-awards party, held at London's Cuckoo Club, with the band's wild singer Liam Gallagher.

It's no news that cheerleaders dress a bit provocative, but they would prefer if you didn't stare. This young fan didn't get that memo.

As men, it is hard not to stare – but it's even funnier when one gets caught in the act. This young man picked up some candy from this NBA cheerleader, and took away so much more than that. Lucky for us, the cameras were there to catch this hilarious moment on tape.
We'll just wait for the internet memes with his wide eyed face to start popping up. Ahh, youth.

Hey guys, I was hoping you guys could weigh in on a topic that has been driving me crazy for the last few months. What is the most acceptable / accessible WHITE color contrast?
Say we have a box, a regular ol' rectangular box.
The border is #ddd The bg of the box is #fff Body bg is #e7e7e7
Different monitors display a very different range of color and what may look very subtle on one monitor might appear very different. So whats the best way to go about this?
Hopefully this makes sense to someone. its been a long day haha. Thanks in advance guys!

Mumbai: well, it seems that there is nothing a man would do to please his wife. We can really say that this is also the case of the Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi. The latest buzz is that the actor intends to do a tattoo in order to make a surprise to his wife Priyanka. A source close to the Bollywood super star has told us that because Priyanka has a tattoo on her back and her husband does not have one, therefore it seems that the actor is rather excited about getting one as well.
"Priyanka has a tattoo on her back, while Vivek has none. He hit upon an idea for the design on the couple's recent visit to Bali. The Prince star might get the tattoo on a secret place and it will be for Priyanka's eyes only." As you may know, he is currently busy acting in two movie productions, 'Krrish 2 and Zilla Ghaziabad, so it appears that he really wants to show off his new tattoo in one of these projects.
The same source added that "He has decided on a cool design he discovered while holidaying in Bali with his wife but wants to improvise on
it. VO's Balinese holiday saw him attend friend Tupur Chatterjee's wedding and spend quality time indulging in adventure sports with his wife. He also kept busy inquiring about the best tattoo artist around. He has also enquired about tat artists in Los Angeles and Miami. The tattoo and its modern, ultra-cool design is a super secret and VO wants to surprise his wife with it. It will be
hidden from view and will be meant for Priyanka's eyes."
For the time being the Bollywood celebrity is in Goa with wife Priyanka. The actor is apparently the guest of the Chief Minuster of Goa in order to inaugurate a handicraft exhibition to promote the local culture and artists.
