Sekhar Suri is very familiar among the Telugu audiences with his film A Film By Aravind. Though the film was not commercially successful. The film was technically brilliant and earned him name as a good technical director, but did not become a hit due to the absence of entertainment value. Once again Sekhar Suri has come up with a different film, a suspense thriller. This time, he has chosen rebirth / schizophrenia as the theme with several twists and filled with nail-baiting suspense.
Ram (Rishi), a journalist working on forest life, stays with his friend. Though he is in love, he plans to first settle in life before getting married. Incidentally when his lover refuses to stay and leaves him, a psychiatrist Harsha (Harshavardhan) comes to help him
out of this depression. When he is alone, another girl Nisha (Urvashi Sharma) comes to him saying that she had purchased a house built by his friend who does real-estate business. She claims to be facing a typical problem whereby someone by name Shankar calls her and she can hear some typical sounds but could not see who was doing all this. Learning about her psychological disorder, Rishi calls for Harsha, who takes her to his professor (Ranganath). He declares that she has no mental disorder and is fine. However, Harsha raises a doubt, whether Nisha is haunted by a devil (dayyam) and wants to confirm whether that Shankar is dead or alive. Ram, Nisha and Harsha go to the island where Nisha had met Shankar (Shanti Chandra) once. Nisha meets Chandra and Harsha confirms that she is suffering from schizophrenia.
When they are about to leave the guest house a man by name Rajeev (Rajeev Kanakala) comes seeking shelter at night. Nisha later calls the police and gets him arrested. But the police on finding that he is not Shankar but Rajeev, leaves him. The original Shankar, who was in love with Nisha attacks Rajeev as she had claimed that the former was planning to kill her. This irks Rajeev and he comes to attack Nisha. Finally, Harsha takes Nisha to a Father who reveals that she is not suffering from schizophrenia, but is haunted by memories from her earlier birth. As per his revelation, in her previous birth, Nisha had an affair with Chandra (Shanti Chandra), but married Shankar (Rajeev Kanakala). Once when she threatened to divorce Shankar, to prevent her from sharing his property, Shankar had bequeathed his entire property to his friend (Rishi). However, that friend first killed Nisha, then Shankar, Chandra and finally he too died. After rebirth, Nisha is haunted by these memories. Incidentally, Ram also learns about his past life and wants to kill Rajeev. Meanwhile, Shankar intervenes and finally, Ram gets killed by Rajeev. The film ends with Rajeev (the husband in the earlier birth) uniting Shankar and Nisha.
Director Sekhar Suri has come out with a different subject by choosing regression / rebirth / schizophrenia as the focal subject. He has nearly succeeded in making the audiences sit feel the suspense. Those who like suspense thrillers would definitely like the movie. Rishi sports a different look with tattoos all over his body. Though he has given his best, he needs to improve his body language and diction. Rajeev Kanakala's character has different shades. In fact, he is the lone horror subject on the screen. To some extent, Harshavardhan has made efforts to tickle the funny bone of the audiences. Camera work by Senthil Kumar needs a special mention. He has presented each and every scene on the screen exactly the way the director had in mind. Music by Vijay C Kurakula is okay. Dialogues by Harshavardhan are adequate.
Many scenes appear too lengthy due to the director's bid to fill suspense in the scene. Though the music is okay,it has dominated the audio in some scenes, with many of the dialogues not being audible. Heroine of the film is another big minus point. She can neither perform nor bring horror and fear in her face. Though Shanti Chandra has made his debut through this film, he can not maintain a separate identity of his own. Though the concept 'regression' chosen by the director is okay, the presentation of the same on the screen is a little weird and many scenes appear confusing with the director not being able to convince the audiences as to what he wants to explain. Those who like suspense thrillers, and watch Hollywood movies of the kind, can watch the movie to some extent. But for the common audiences it fails to give anything.
Though the film is a little confusing, the director has tried his best to explain that there are many instances where one could find similarities in one person with someone in the past. At the end of film, there is a scrolling where the director has tried to explain that there are similarities between some famed personalities with the present generation famed personalities. They include Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, George Bush and J K Rowling. Had the director kept some more entertainment the film would have gone well. Such films may not go well with common audiences in the absence of commercial values.

Out of sight; out of mind. That's how it is with the vagina. As long as it's working and isn't causing a fuss (which, granted, becomes more iffy at this stage of the game), we forget about it.
Nothing wrong with that.
But, ladies, your vagina is a marvelous thing, so in the interest of a little community ed on this underappreciated organ, here are some fun and quirky facts—maybe things you didn't know—about your vagina.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Thumpers' started by crankshaft, Sep 6, 2011.
Thank you.
Great post Nippy! I guess I am in the clear because I am running the Vortex ECU and I have the Cycleworks pump.
I had my 2009 690r quit on me twice. Once when it was very new. I never knew for sure why it quit but I got it to restart after some time and made it home. I did the 15 minute reset and all was good for a couple of years. The second time it started losing power on the highway and finally just quit. I got it going twice and had it die again twice. Wiggling the wiring under the air box and behind the rad seemed to make a difference and tightening the blade connectors to the coil seemed to fix the problem. Eventually I went to the Cycleworks pump and the Vortex CPU and that aftermarket voltage regulator and no problems. I never saw any dirt in any screens for the pump and the post pump filter inside the tank looked like yours. I doubt my stock pump was ever the problem. I still wonder how the Cycleworks pump is better than the stock one but never got any clear explanation from California Cycleworks about that.
Anyway thanks again for your post!
Thanks. I ran with the assumption that it was that simple and did the 15 minute idle this morning. Then I went and got my bike tangled up in network of downed timber and thick wooded singletrack (and no-track). It got hot enough for long enough that it should have been worse than the conditions that caused it to stall before. Flawless! So maybe a cheap, easy fix?
Thanks all,
This is exactly what E. Engineer Dave said last night as we composed the message. In fact, he went so far as to say he thought he could do it. Now, exuberance aside, he may be able to or not. I will speak to him and give him some words of encouragement. I just keep remembering my conversations with the cable company where 95% of their advice consisted of unplugging the damn box or hitting the reset button. I have a Denon AV receiver (which is a bit pricey) and when it acted funny the technical folks would say, "lets do a hard reset". Just last week two of icons on the desktop of my iMac disappeared. I called AppleCare and the tech said, "lets do a hard reset" which entailed unplugging everything from the back of the computer. Presto, the icons returned upon powering back up. Things electrical, don't you just love them? Not!
I think Dave is now invested in trying to find a solution to this problem and I will report back on my discussions with him.
Thanks for your input. I do hope that we can get to a solution to this continuing problem, not the stalling problem, but the stalling and then re-start problem, which is very expensive to fix if you replace your pump.
Another comment on what you said. Both Dave and I looked for a thermal thyristor (I believe they look like a small metal strip) somewhere on the outside or inside of the metal pump housing. Had we found one there then we could perhaps point to that malfunctioning, i.e., saying the pump was overheating when it wasn't. We did not find one.
There's an interesting question...do we know of anyone with the Vortex that has had a pump failure or the stalling symptoms...? If not, how does the Vortex handle the pump vs the stock ECU?
+1000 Nippybit!!!
Whether or not that is the fix, it's refreshing to read a quality analysis of a problem!!!
Thank you for your time and effort!
Great post Nippy, you've confirmed what I've always suspected. I also replaced the pump after the usual 10 minute cool down period but it didn't fix the problem. When mine died, I had a volt meter checking the voltage and when the 690 died, the voltage dropped to zero and then came back seconds later. I'm wondering if there is some voltage issue, causing the ECU to shut down and then reset? I know it probably has a minimum voltage that it needs to run and maybe it has an internal circuit breaker for the ECU power? The Vortex solved the problem actually, it never died like that again. Must be ECU related.
I have a 690 ECU to donate to the cause if you want to tear into it?
You are welcome. I hope that Dave and I come up with more answers and hopefully a fix that works.
Ok just spoke to Vortex there is a thermal over load in the vortex ecu but he can't remember if there is paramiteters on the stock but certain there is , he has experienced the pump issue on a berg while out riding with three other EFI gurus
So the pump may look tiptop the field or armature winding must be braking down underload , kind of hard to replicate with engine vibs fuel , temp
Thank you Crank. I think you are right and I hope that we can get to the bottom of the problem and then let everyone know. I will take you up on your offer for the ECU and send you my contact information by PM.
Thanks for the info. Not so sure about the theory of the armature breaking down under load. If you are right about this then all of us who have bought new pumps did the right thing. If not, then we are still looking for answers.
When my bike died the first time I had been almost idling along in 5th gear on a small paved road going downhill headed towards a lake. I had not been running it hard at all as I was doing some recon in an area where we will go looking for old gold mines off-road. I had not even gotten to one of the off-road areas. When I arrived at a Forest Service Ranger Station and shut the bike off to pay an entry fee it would not restart. Subsequently, when I got it restarted, I ran the living shit out of it trying to get home before catastrophic failure, which I expected. I hit the slab and rode the bike at 85 to 90 mph passing people going uphill and downhill for 60+ miles. This was screaming the motor a bit as I have 14/45 gearing. I then ran it hard through the gears when I hit a few stoplights in the city. Then it died while idling at an intersection about 3 miles from my home. Ten minute wait and then it started and ran fine again. The tech at Carter Powersports road it 20 miles and then it died and subsequently restarted. He reported that when running it performed great. Very similar to what a lot of riders here have reported.
Still searching for answers.
Hmm fuel reg over heating / causing combo of both ??? Just throwing it out there , any way new pump seems to fix it .
I just may go one of cranks looms for racing.
Dave and I just spoke and he confirmed what I thought which is that the armature is turning at one speed. Power goes to the pump through the brushes and then to the commutator which causes the armature to rotate thereby driving the pump. Given this, it is not like the armature has to struggle to deal with various loads, it simply turns at a consistent speed. We are studying the pressure regulator which we believe has a mechanical mechanism and is connected to the ECU so that the ECU can see if it is regulating pressure, however the ECU does not provide power to it. More to come on this.
While my new pump has seemingly fixed the problem it may occur again. As you know, a number of posters here have had multiple pumps, which is frightening as you don't know if you can trust your ride off-road, it is damn expensive, and it shouldn't be happening. I had a 2005 BMW GS (FI with a submersible pump and filter) and I put about 28,000 miles on it without even the hint of a problem. I am hopeful that we find something other than the pump as the cause of the problem.
i know of some pump failures that were for sure pump failures.....not enough pressure and volume... some were due to manufacturing defect where the pump housing was too tight when the pump gets warm it binds.... some were brushes coming apart.
some were due to the pump coming disconnected from the housing and kinking the fuel line. some the wires came off the pump.
all of those were failures that could be explained and we sorted through them and got to the root cause.
Stalling...... can be caused by many different things including improper tps setting, dirty injector ( just a little dirty and it will still run wide open) but no idle, fouled plug or cap issue ( both times I had a bad plug i could not tell by looking at it it was fouled)
cutting out....this is one that is really causing me to go round and round.....bike will run and then just quit at speed but will re start, sometimes with the kill switch cycled and sometimes just starts back up. one time it was the master relay for me....it would let the starter start but would not turn on something else.
it seems from all of my experiences, more than one condition exists and the bike wont run. I also think the 2 ecu's dont talk to each other that well. they also often get into a locked state and need to be reset. voltage sensitive? yes I think so and it only takes a very small fluctuation to make a problem.maybe slightly under voltaged for the computer needs.
ready for my last issue? we had one 690 die and we could not repair it...he went home in the wifes truck after she drove 500 miles to get him.... the rest of us got so far behind we decided to hiway it home...... 85 miles in one strech at a constant throttle, no stops no slowdowns and when I back off the throttle it sputters and dies, wont start and I have to cycle the kill switch a few times and do a roll throttle to wfo and back then shut it off a and then it runs. over the next 400 miles it got worst if I stayed steady on the throttle. if I was on and off speeding up and down the problem didnt show up. it barley ran when I came into my driveway, poping surging and almost dying. next morning I did a 15 minute reset and it has been great ever since.
70* husaberg and new KTM use the same pumps ,regulators and injector. they dont have nearly the issues the 690 has. they dont have as many safety sensors and they dont have fly by wire and only one ecu and no canbus system. there wire loom is much simpler and they have less connectors
to summarize my
FI is here to stay
this bike is great when it works right
it is not all the hardware that is the problem and think some of the system has weak points or not needed.
I will figure it out with help and make it dependable......the only weak points now are in the fuel management system
I have a 2012 690R with around 1700miles on it. Just yesterday I took it out for about a 200 mile spin and noticed right away it was blowing a fine black soot all over my lower right leg. I've never noticed it before yesterday. Was getting a little on the frame as well. I just can't seem to see where its coming from. The temp was around 40 degrees when I left home which is as cold as it been run at so far and only went up to about 47 and blew it out all day. The only change I made before riding it this time was I wired in heated grips. Any ideas? I'm hoping this is something common so I can rectify it and getting riding again. Thanks
Charcoal cannister. You may want to consider eliminating it.
Thanks!!! That was fast. I will try to search for a thread on here explaining how to do so.

Currency trading and the euro. The price of euro yesterday showed growth against the background of the publication of weak service PMI statistics in the US, which fell to 49.7 in February against the forecast of 49.8. It is worth noting that a similar rate in the Eurozone rose by 0.3 to 53.3. Today will be published important statistics on the labor market in the US (13:30 GMT), which can lead to strong movements on the market. In addition, we should pay attention to Eurozone's retail PMI (09:10 GMT), and the US trade balance (13:30 GMT). Our medium-term outlook for the euro remains negative.
Currency trading and the British pound. The price of the British pound continued to rise against the weakening US dollar, as well as fixing positions after a strong decline of the British pound earlier. Growth continued yesterday, despite the worsening statistics on the country's service PMI to 52.7, against the forecast of 55.1. Today, the focus will be on the labor market statistics in the US and we expect strong price movement. Our medium-term outlook remains negative.
Currency trading and the Japanese yen. Japanese yen price has strengthened against the US dollar after have been published weak data on the service PMI in America. Today was released statistics on the average wage in Japan, which grew by 0.4% in January that is 2 times better than expected. On Monday will be held on the speech of the Bank of Japan Haruhiko Kuroda, and today the strong price movements are possible after the release of US labor market data. We expect the price decline of the yen in the medium term.
Currency trading and the Australian dollar. The price of the Australian dollar continued to rise after the publication of statistics on retail sales in the country, which increased by 0.3%, vs. expected 0.4% in January. It is worth noting that earlier in Australia came out stronger statistics on GDP and trade balance. We expect a strong move today and maintain the medium-term negative outlook, despite the possible continuation of the positive momentum in the near future.
Currency trading and the New Zealand dollar. The price of the New Zealand dollar continued to rise against the weakening US dollar and the support of the Australian currency. Investors are waiting for the decision of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand next week. In the case of lowering interest rates or statements about their decrease in the near future, the price drop of the New Zealand currency will resume. Today we expect a strong price movement after the publication of US labor market data. The medium-term pessimistic outlook remains unchanged.

THEATRE OF THE OPPRESSED NYC: 13th Street Housing Works
Join us for our Fourth Annual Forum Theatre Play presented by Theatre of the Oppressed NYC. This year's show will be created and performed by members of the 13th Street Housing Works community.
Theatre of the Oppressed is an interactive methodology that is used to investigate situations in which cast members have been denied their basic rights, personally and collectively. The 13th Street Housing Works Theatre Troupe's actors have been investigating discrimination toward homeless and HIV+ New Yorkers. In the rehearsal and development stage, the cast shares and combines their real-life stories into original plays. The result is a "forum theatre" performance in which the scenes ask a question of the audience, and the audience (or "spect-actors") intervene in the action to try out various alternatives to the problems.
A donation of $10 will be appreciated to help defray costs and support the work of the 13th Street Housing Works Theatre Troupe. The public is welcome to this free performance.

IBM Stock Still Cheap Under $150 A Share
- Free Cash Flows of $13+ billion annually just need to increase a touch over time to keep the payout ratio under 40%.
- Watson is now being used in Formula One. IBM will keep upgrading systems to remain current.
- Security will be vital going forward. Up to 20% of enterprises will be devoted entirely to digital security in IoT by 2017.
IBM (NYSE:IBM) will have achieved over two decades of annual dividend increases when it raises its dividend again this year. IBM stock has had an excellent 2016 with the share price up over 23% over the last six weeks alone. Furthermore even with the recent rally the stock has enjoyed, the company is still trading at an earnings multiple of under 11 which is two points below its 5-year average. Dividend investors invest in IBM in spades due to its high current dividend yield (3.51%) and robust dividend growth rate (15% - 3 Year Dividend Growth Rate).
Source: IBM stock price chart by amigobulls.com
However, bears continue to insist that IBM won't be able to endure the current digital revolution it is undergoing. Analytics and its cloud computing business may be growing meaningfully but its legacy businesses are most definitely in decline as we can see from recent revenue counts. Earnings per share estimates may be lower for the coming year ($13.49) but if the stock continues to get re-rated (as it did when the Truven Health Analytics acquisition was announced), IBM could easily bounce back to its long-term average earnings multiple (12.9) which would give the company a share price of $174 assuming the company meets its 2016 estimates. Here are 3 strong reasons why I believe dividend investors will continue to get rewarded handsomely.
Firstly, before we get into how IBM is changing, let's look at the company's free cash flow versus the company's dividend payout in terms of dividend per share. Here is where bears feel they have an argument but it is one which is short sighted in my opinion. As we can see from the chart, the dividend per share has increased rapidly since 2006 - going from $0.78 per share to $5.00 a share in 2015 (over a multiple of 6). Free cash flow in this time period has gone from $11,072 billion to $13,430 billion but the float has been reduced from 1.627 billion to 961 million currently. What does this mean exactly? Well, despite the dividend rate per share going up by a factor of six since 2006, the actual dividend payout has only gone up by a factor of three ($1.683 billion in 2006 to $4.897 billion in 2015)
IBM's excellent annual free cash flow numbers (much higher than what is needed for the dividend) enables the company to buy back a lot of stock which keeps the dividend in check. However, here is the kicker. What if the company was able to increase its cash flows to a point where the dividend payout stabilized over time? At the moment, it stands at 36.8% which is double the number in 2006 but the current large investments taking place in higher growth "Strategic Imperatives" definitely gives shareholder hope for a prosperous future.
Speaking of Strategic Imperatives, IBM continues to invest heavily in cloud and data despite revenues being off over $25 billion since 2011. In fact, the company controls 7% of the market being behind only Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) (29%) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) (10%). Just look at how IBM's Watson is being used in Formula One at the moment in order to monitor and analyse data. In fact, Honda is analyzing data from more than 160 sensors on its cars to try and get an edge over the competition. This is only the tip of the iceberg and it will be the first movers who will gain the most market share going forward. IBM, however, can't rest on its laurels and knows that it will have to consistently improve its data capabilities (integration, storage, etc) to build a popular brand in this space. Optevia is the latest acquisition in this space which should bolster offerings in the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) market. Sales-force controls over 18% of this market and has over 100,000 customers worldwide where more than 50% of its income comes from large companies. IBM wants to gain market share in this market through Optevia and it serves as another reminder that the company will continue to move boldly to offset stagnation in legacy divisions.
Security is another area where IBM has the potential to stand out among its peers due to the work it has already done in this division. In fact Gartner (Tech research firm) gave IBM high marks for SIEM (Security Information & Event Management) in 2015 and believes this area will grow by leaps and bounds in the years to come compared to other areas within the Security umbrella. IBM grew security to $2 billion in revenues in 2015 and with the resilient acquisition taking place recently, this should bring more value and revenue for the "Security" segment, going forward. Remember the street only needs to see a nice hike in the growth rate in this division to be in a position to value the stock higher. Security growth rates should follow the cloud and as this income will predominantly be recurring, it should add to IBM's operating margins nicely.
To sum up, IBM's dividend growth rates are not under threat despite free cash flow growth not matching dividend per share growth. I see margins continuing to expand in "Strategic Imperatives" which over time will offset negative growth in legacy businesses. Furthermore, despite the recent 20%+ rally, IBM stock is still undervalued over a 5 and 10 year period. 2016 will be interesting as it will probably be the first year when the "Internet Of Things" comes to life for many companies and IBM should be able to take advantage.
