Then, they carved out the bottle as needed and made some adjustments to Edison's original cylinder player using some more modern electronics.Grooves on a normal record (left) vs. grooves on the Edison Bottle (right).

Kluber loses battle with White Sox rookie Abreu
Right-hander gives up three hits, two RBIs to slugger
CHICAGO -- It was a pairing of power: one of the American League's best pitchers in Cleveland's Corey Kluber and one of the game's top sluggers in Chicago's Jose Abreu. This is what the fans came to see on Wednesday night at U.S. Cellular Field.
In the seventh inning, a tiring Kluber encountered Abreu with the game in the balance. Not many hitters can claim to have had the right-hander's number this season, but Kluber has found himself a foe. The pitcher went on the attack, but Abreu came out on top, delivering the decisive blow in the Indians' 3-2 loss to the White Sox.
"A lot of respect goes to him," Abreu said. "He's one of the better pitchers in the Major Leagues I've faced."
The defeat was only the fifth in the past 15 games for Cleveland, which is trying desperately to chase down first-place Kansas City and second-place Detroit in the American League Central. The Indians dropped to 6 1/2 back of the Royals in the division, but remain 4 1/2 games back of the AL's second Wild Card.
Abreu shot a cutter from Kluber past the mound and into center field for a run-scoring single to put Chicago ahead for good in the seventh. With the hit -- the third of the night for the rookie -- Abreu improved his average to .462 (6-for-13) on the season against Kluber, who has developed into the leader of Cleveland's rotation and an AL Cy Young contender.
Asked about Abreu's success, Kluber allowed himself to crack a smile.
"He does good against a lot of people, if you look at his numbers," Kluber said. "He's a good hitter. He covers a lot of pitches, so you've just got to kind of mix it up on him. Even when you make some good pitches, sometimes good hitters are able to get their hits."
Complicating matters on Wednesday night was a lack of run support for Kluber (13-8), who has had his team score three or fewer runs in six of his past seven starts. This time around, Cleveland's lineup was quieted for much of the evening by White Sox righty Hector Noesi, who limited the Indians to a pair of runs in his seven innings.
Kluber picked up a hard-luck loss after being charged with three runs on nine hits in 6 1/3 innings, ending with eight strikeouts and two walks. He became the first Indians pitcher since 1970 (Sam McDowell) to notch at least 17 games with at least eight strikeouts in a season, and climbed to 19th on Cleveland's all-time single-season strikeout list with 213.
The low offensive output magnified Kluber's few mistakes.
"If we score five or six," Indians manager Terry Francona said, "we're talking about him cruising."
Considering how dominant Kluber has been all season for Cleveland, he should be forgiven for a lapse here and there. Kluber's first setback in Chicago came in the form of a 32-pitch third inning that gave the White Sox their first lead of the night.
Chicago began its attack with a one-out triple from Adam Eaton, who shot a pitch from Kluber into the right-field corner to allow time for the three-base sprint. Two batters later, Abreu drove an offering up the middle for a two-out single that easily scored Eaton to pull the contest into a 1-1 deadlock.
That effectively erased Michael Bourn's RBI single off Noesi in the top of the third.
Abreu's first hit set things up for Adam Dunn, who crushed a 1-2 sinker on a line to deep center field, where Cleveland outfielder Michael Bourn could not run it down. Abreu scored from first base to push the Indians behind, 2-1, and the White Sox went on to load the bases. Kluber escaped further damage by inducing an inning-ending groundout off the bat of Tyler Flowers.
"I thought [Kluber's] stuff was really good and he worked ahead really well," Francona said. "He just made some mistakes when he was ahead in the count. A number of the guys who got the key hits, he had them down in the count."
From there, Kluber settled down, and Indians third baseman Lonnie Chisenhall did his part by belting a game-tying home run off Noesi in the top of the seventh inning. The blast was the 12th for Chisenhall, who sent a 3-2 pitch darting just over the wall down the right-field line.
In the home half of the seventh, Chicago's Carlos Sanchez opened with a single to right, and Eaton followed with a double to put runners on second and third with no outs. Kluber then induced a chopper to Chisenhall, who fired a strike to catcher Roberto Perez to cut down Sanchez at the plate. The out was confirmed following a brief crew-chief review.
That brought Abreu to the plate with Kluber at 110 pitches, runners on the corners, Dunn looming on deck and the game caught in a 2-2 tie with one out.
"That's a tough situation," Francona said. "[Abreu] has hit into a number of double plays. But he's a really good hitter. It's tough -- really tough. ... If we walk him there, it's not the end of the world."
Abreu tormented the pitcher once again with the game-winning hit.
"He's a good hitter," Perez said of Abreu. "He beat us today."

Hare started brightly and edged the opening two rounds but was cut badly in the third as Barnes turned the tide.
Barnes floored the home-town fighter in the fourth round and a big left hand sent Hare to the canvas in the sixth.
"There are still things I can work on but the world is my oyster now," said the 23-year-old Barnes.
The Mancunian was quick to pay tribute Hare, insisting that despite this defeat he can bounce back.
"He was beaten by a better fighter on the night but all credit to James, he
came here to fight and put up a good display," Barnes added.
"James is a class act and I have never boxed anyone as good as him before so
I have to be pleased with my performance."
Hare, 28, said: "I thought the first two rounds were nip and tuck - there wasn't a lot in it at that stage.
"But I lost my rhythm a little bit and got drilled in the fourth and it was
all downhill from there.
"A defeat like this hurts when it is in front of your local fans and there
are so many people rooting for you.
"But I will go back to the gym and start
again now and take it from there."
Ugly scenes outside the ring took the gloss off an entertaining night of boxing as violence between rival groups of fans flared prior to the main event.

Charlie Ragle has been the UA's special teams coach only for two years, but he knows the drill: With fall camp comes questions about place-kickers.
It's a yearly tradition that Arizona fans could do without.
- Jake Smith converted just 63 percent of his field goals last season, which ranked 95th in the country.
- The last time Arizona kickers converted more than 80 percent of their field goals in a season was 2008, when Jason Bondzio went 14 for 16.
- Over the last six seasons, UA kickers have a field goal conversion rate of 71 percent. Last year alone, 67 kickers in the country had a better percentage than that.
So are things going to be better this year?
Despite the loss of Smith and an open competition at the position, Ragle thinks so.
"I think we're going to see an upgrade there, regardless of who it is," Ragle said. "I think we're going to be better in the kicking game. Right now there's no one standing out, but I'll tell you by the time we finish and go into UNLV, we should be pretty good and pretty excited about our kicking game."
Smith handled all the kicking duties for the Wildcats last year. He attempted all 19 field goals for the UA and handled every one of the 83 kickoffs.
This year, Ragle and the Wildcats may spread the duties out over multiple kickers. The three main candidates right now are junior Casey Skowron, freshman Josh Pollack and Virginia Tech graduate transfer Ethan Keyserling.
"You could easily see where we could have a short guy, who is pretty accurate from 40 in, and a longer guy that might have a bigger leg and could handle kickoffs," Ragle said. "Whatever gives us the best chance to win, we're going to try to find that.
"I can see something like that developing for sure."
Skowron may be the most consistent of the group, but has battled various minor injuries the past two years, which have slowed his development.
Ragle said Keyserling, perhaps the leading candidate for kickoff duty, may have the strongest leg of all the kickers but needs to be more consistent.
Pollack, a true freshman, is still learning to trust his leg and not overthink things — something Ragle said most freshmen deal with.
"I've told Josh, 'You've worked on this for so long and you're naturally good at it. Just do your thing,' " Ragle said. "I'm excited for Casey. If he can stay healthy, he'll be in this thing for sure. Ethan has a super strong leg. He might have the strongest leg overall. He's going to be in the mix."
Running back update
Junior running back Jared Baker is 100 percent healthy and right in the middle of the running back competition, less than nine months after tearing his ACL against Arizona State.
Coach Rich Rodriguez said Baker, listed at 5 feet 8 inches and 188 pounds, is still one of the fastest players on the team despite the injury.
The coach said he wasn't surprised with Baker's quick recovery time and full recovery.
"I really kinda expected it," Rodriguez said. "Obviously our training staff does a great job, and he was ahead of schedule during his whole rehab. They were patient with it during summer running, so he's full-go.
"He did a great job working hard, and I think our medical staff deserves a lot of credit, too."
Rodriguez has also been impressed with freshmen Nick Wilson, Jonathan Haden and redshirt Zach Green early in camp.
The coach would like to pare down the competition in the next week or so, but it won't be a one-man job like it was last year with Ka'Deem Carey.
"Ka'Deem was one of the best in the country, and he was durable," Rodriguez said. "You saw him carry it 48 times. It's very rare that you get a guy that runs that hard and does it every time he carries the ball. That's why he was special."
Searching for pass rushers
Rodriguez has said several times that the Wildcats lack a "freak" pass rusher to get around the edge and harass opposing quarterbacks.
It'll be a group effort this season.
The Wildcats will try several different defensive players in the third-down pass-rushing role. LSU transfer Jordan Allen will certainly get a shot at it as will linebacker Derrick Turituri, who saw some action there last year.
The coach held informal tryouts for the position during Friday's practice.
He said he thinks Turituri is making positive strides.
"He's a good pass rusher because he's such a powerful guy," Rodriguez said. "He bench-presses well over 400 pounds and he squats half the building."

Home > Community > Health Library > Choosing Baby Bottles and Nipples
4 fl oz (120 mL) bottles are a
good size for newborns. As your
baby starts to take more formula during a feeding, you will likely want to have
bigger 8 fl oz (240 mL) bottles
on hand.
Bottles are made of glass or plastic.
Nipples have been designed to imitate a
mother's nipple. The human nipple is short and flexible, which makes it easy
for a baby to grasp and suckle. But some babies have difficulty with some
bottle nipples that are too short.
General guidelines for buying
bottle nipples:
Nipple shapes include:
You may need to experiment with a few different types of
nipples until you find one that seems most natural for your baby.

THREE weeks of roadworks in Whitehill Way will no longer affect morning commuters.
Swindon Council's resurfacing work, which begins on Tuesday, was to take place between 8am and 6pm but now parts of the road will be closed from 9.30am until 7.30pm instead.
Council spokesman Kevin Burchall said: "Sections of Whitehill Way between Mead Way and Hook Street will be closed between May 6 and 23. The work will take place in three phases and will now start at 9.30am until 7.30pm to minimise the impact on the peak morning period.
"Access to businesses and for residents will be maintained throughout the road closures and traffic marshals will be on hand to assist drivers.
"We would advise drivers to allow more time for their journeys."
Tuesday's work is between Mead Way and Fiveways roundabout. Eastleaze roundabout will remain open for residents of Eastleaze and Langstone Way.

A FAMILY firm with a 90-year history in Nelson has been devastated by a major fire.
Walter Lambert and Sons, a well-known coffin makers based in Edgar Street, was engulfed in flames.
Parts of the historic former mill site were so badly damaged that they will now have to be demolished.
And a shortage of coffins is also expected as a result of the blaze.
Police and fire investigators are now attempting to discover whether the firm was targeted in an arson attack or if the blaze started accidentally.
More than 40 firefighters from across East Lancashire tackled a 'severe fire' at Walter Lambert and Sons in Edgar Street, off Leeds Road, just after 3am on today.
Nearby homes were temporarily evacuated after flames ripped through stored timber at the 100-metre long complex.
And staff at a nearby care home in Juno Street were placed on alert to move residents as the fire raged through the single-storey building.
Part of the structure is now in the process of being demolished after it was surveyed and ruled unsafe by building inspectors.
Steve Kennedy, a group manager with Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service, said when initial crews arrived on the scene it was quickly realised that more resources were needed.
Eight appliances, a turntable ladder, mobile fire station and the brigade's hazardous materials unit were deployed at the scene.
Mr Kennedy added: "We had quite a severe fire that was rapidly developing so resources were quickly increased.
"We contained the fire to around two-thirds of the building. But there was an awful lot of fuel inside, with it being a timber yard.
"Initially we had to proceed with caution because we did not know if there was any hazardous materials inside either."
Building control officers inspected the site this morning.
David Lambert, principal building control officer for Pendle Council, said: "It's vitally important that we make sure the building is safe as quickly as possible.
"The owner has agreed to arrange for part of the building to be demolished and security fencing to be put up around the site to keep people out."

Between Matter and Experience
Jul 7—Jul 22 2014
Hamilton Hall Lobby
This exhibition represents the work of seven contemporary painters. While the visual vocabularies are diverse, there exists a shared humanist perspective that suggests the way it feels to move through the world without feigned knowing or emotional distance, expressing an openness to sensation of both paint and subject.
The work reflects attention to the overlooked, the intimate, the awkward and imperfect, appreciates mystery, and possesses a curiosity for things hidden. In all the work, there is a suggestion of the existence of something not entirely present.
This "between" state takes the form of the tension between abstraction and representation, between image and the physical form of the paint, and where a quality is present that resists naming.
At the heart of this view is the idea that this attention to humanness inspires a range of voices.
This exhibit grew from a small, casual dialogue between a few of the painters in this show into a larger discussion on painting. The original conversations traced the threads of continuity that weave through the work of these artists from different cities and generations.
Partly facilitated by the personal relationships that connect them, or maybe as a result of seeing each other's work, but most likely due to something much more far-reaching and complex, these painters share an attitude on painting that manifests in quite different visual expressions. The decision for this particular grouping is to draw attention to how diverse that expression can be.
Participating Artists:
Betsey Batchelor BFA '75 (Painting)
Katherine Bradford
Lauren Garvey
Aubrey Levinthal
Bonnie Levinthal BFA '81 (Printmaking)

Smart travelers can save on summer vacation
If you're making your summer travel plans, you can take some action now to get the most for your money.
Whether your summer vacation budget is several hundred dollars or several thousand dollars, you want to get the biggest bang for every single buck. If you're taking to the skies, where you fly from can save you some money. We're fortunate in central Indiana to have several regional airports within easy driving distance.
Most low-cost carriers, like Spirit Airlines, Air Tran and Allegiant Air fly out of your smaller regional airports near larger cities. But, that may mean you will be using connecting flights. Flying out of your major airports like Indianapolis can offer non-stop flights. So, you weigh convenience against cost.
Travel expert Bethanne Harrison-Brown said flying out of Chicago or Cincinnati could save a few dollars. "We're not that far of a drive," she said. "We do have Louisville. Sometimes, airfare is a little less expensive out of those markets. Sometimes, they're not. If they're not, what also drives them, I can sometimes get non-stop flights."
Once you arrive, you might pay $139 a night for a mid-range hotel room. Or, you might consider renting a small apartment for the same price depending on your destination.
You want a comfortable place to lay your head at night. But budget hotels offer other amenities like kitchenettes, sitting rooms, oversized baths, free daily breakfast and free wi-fi that are all worth considering.
A growing sector of home, apartment or even bedroom rentals are popping up offering more comforts of home for less. But Harrison-Brown said you need to do your research on those.
"Anything under a real estate agency," she advised, "contact the Better Business Bureau of wherever you're renting from. Ask for references. Call and speak to the families that were just there."
"You may not be getting what you think you're getting when you get that beach location with that beachfront-with-a-pool home."
Suggested Links
Sometimes, a staycation close to home offers a budget getaway. "We have all the different museums," said Harrison-Brown. "We have the world's largest children's museum. We have the zoo. We have the White River State Park."
"Not just Indianapolis, we have Indiana as a whole. We have all of these state parks as well as Illinois, Michigan - all have beautiful state parks."
One last tip - consider making lunch your biggest meal of the day. Many restaurants offer far better lunch deals compared to dinner deals. Then, you can eat a lighter dinner and not break your budget.

Updated with comments on Bank of America from KBW analyst David Konrad, along with comments on Fifth Third Bancorp from Wells Fargo analyst Matthew Burnell, who downgraded the shares on Tuesday, and comments from Deutsche Bank analyst Matt O'Connor, who downgraded Wells Fargo and BB&T, while upgrading PNC. NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. bank stocks remain volatile and, as usual, there is a mixed bag of opportunity and risk, heading into earnings season. Bank stocks reversed course during the third quarter after the sector's "annual" second-quarter decline. The KBW Bank Index ( I:BKX) rose 8% during the third quarter, closing at 49.58 Friday, following an 8% decline during the second quarter and a 26% return during the first quarter. Year-to-date through Friday, the index was up 26%, with all but two of the 24 index components seeing gains, with some of the most maligned industry names seeing stellar performance. While major industry players are still trading for low multiples to book value and forward earnings estimates when compared to stock valuations before the 2008 credit crisis, several concerns appear to be pushing "normalized earnings" further out than previously expected. After several years of seeing forward earnings estimates outpacing the current year's estimates, the story is beginning to change for some regional players. Among the 24 KBW Bank Index components, analysts polled by Thomson Reuters estimate that four will earn less during 2013 than in 2012, while two have consensus 2013 EPS estimates matching those for 2012. Out of 18 index components expected to improve their earnings next year, four are expected to see 2013 earnings 15% or higher than 2012 estimates, while 10 more are expected to see earnings improve by at least 10%. Here are some of the big themes for the nation's largest banks, heading into third-quarter earnings announcements:
gain-on-sale margins" when selling newly originated loans to Fannie and Freddie, according to Sterne Agee analyst Todd Hagerman, who published his firm's third-quarter industry earnings preview last week. The analyst expects a particularly strong earnings benefit from the mortgage volume for Wells Fargo ( WFC) and Fifth Third Bancorp ( FITB). Banks will also see a benefit in lower delinquency rates going forward, as HARP 2.0 removes the temptation "just to walk away" for thousands of "underwater" borrowers. With the Federal Reserve last month increasing its volume of long-term mortgage-backed securities purchases by $40 billion per month to a total pace of roughly $85 billion a month, Rochdale Securities analyst Richard Bove said on Saturday that "the banking industry is likely to earn substantial gain-on-sale profits as the prices of mortgage backed securities rise in the secondary market." Bove also said that "housing prices are likely to rise as the Federal Reserve pours money into an industry that will be stretching to meet the demand for its product. As the prices rise homes that were valued below their mortgages will rise above the mortgage in value," stimulating even more refinancing, as well as the home equity loan market. Federal Reserve stress test."

Getting face to face with the giant robot who wants to destroy him, Astro Boy discovers that he has arm cannons as well as machine guns in an unlikely part of his body.
More than two weeks prior to the theatrical release of "Astro Boy", Summit Entertainment has released another brand new clip for viewing pleasure. Put out via Yahoo! Movies, the less than one minute snippet features the scene wherein the young robot meets his giant foe, Peacekeeper, and discovers that he is well equipped to defend himself.
Prior to the release of this clip, two other clips had been brought forth. One sees Astro in a high-speed chase around the Metro City to avoid capture after just learning that he is different from the other kids. The other one reels in the footage where he is thrown into a gladiator arena and is forced to face off against bigger and meaner robots.
Created by a brilliant scientist named Tenma, Astro Boy is a young robot with super strength, x-ray vision, unbelievable speed and the ability to fly. When Tenma sends him away, the young robot embarks on a journey in search of acceptance before returning to Metro City in a valiant effort to save everything he cares about and to understand what it takes to be a hero.
"Astro Boy" is an adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's classic manga. It comes from "Flushed Away" helmer David Bowers. Penned by Timothy Harris, it features the voice of Freddie Highmore as the titular character Astro Boy, Nicolas Cage as Dr. Tenma, Donald Sutherland as President Stone and Kristen Bell as Cora among many others. It will be distributed in U.S. theaters on October 23.

Direct Retailing Outpaces Other Channels
July 25, 2005,
New York — Direct-to-consumer retailing surged to the highest sales increase in home textiles by channel with a 14.7 percent gain for 2004.
Close on Penney's heels was Pottery Barn — in third place for this segment — with a 20 percent increase, bringing its sales in this business to $216 million.
The specialty store segment recorded the second largest increase with a gain of 10.5 percent, followed by discount stores/supercenters with a 6 percent increase. Department stores with a collective increase of 1.8 percent edged out "other" which includes Sears, Lowe's and the Army & Air Force Exchange Service.
Overall, discount stores/supercenters retained their dominant share of the home textiles market with 43 percent, the same level as in 2003. Specialty stores edged up to a 24 percent share from 23 percent, department stores slipped to 19 percent from 2003's level of 20 percent. Direct-to-consumer picked up a percentage point to 10 percent, while the "other" category dropped a percentage point to 3 percent. Warehouse clubs held at 1 percent of the market.
Within the segments, the only change in ranking of the Top 5 was in the department store category where Macy's East and Macy's West swapped places for numbers four and five with Macy's West moving up a notch.
Despite a year of challenges in home textiles, Kohl's lead the percentage increase in the department store ranks with an 11 percent gain, largely as a result of the addition of 95 new stores in 2004.
While Bed Bath & Beyond held its lead in the specialty store retailing segment of home textiles, Pottery Barn in fifth position gained the largest percentage, up 15.8 percent, bringing its retail sales to $234 million.
With 115 new stores, Wal-Mart recorded the largest gain in the discount store/supercenter segment of the Top 5 with an increase of 10.2 percent.

Chicago, IL, US
DEFINED BY CONTOUR choreographs movement and program through continuous ramping generating a composition of fluid spaces and outdoor environments. As there are no central cores or staircases, the merging of gradual slopes provide circulation throughout the pier and ferry terminals. DEFINED BY CONTOUR allows for visitors to engage these unique visual moments and catch glimpses of contrasting activities.
Three primary ramps provide circulation throughout the pier and ferry terminals dictating what becomes enclosed public and private space. As the ramps flow in and out of each other, ultimately creating one continuous ramp, the pace at which elevation changes determines the array of activity. The offset of the floor slab curvatures allows for enclosures to reside in the public realm, whereas the outskirts of the floor slabs create unique individualized enclosures to inhabit highly specific private program.
Traffic circulation resides along the side of DEFINED BY CONTOUR, with the ability of cars to board ferries and for people to merge into the public realm when the two conditions collide.
DEFINED BY CONTOUR produces a unique public realm by abstracting programmatic boundaries and user groups, and by blurring their individual identities into new relationships on the outskirts of each program. This is different from traditional ferry terminals because it engulfs the viewer in a distinct series of public and programmatic spaces, due to the frequency at which the floor slabs ramp onto one another.
The upper two floor slabs ultimately become one viewing area over the bottom floor slab, whereas the bottom floor slab resides towards the east end of the pier. DEFINED BY CONTOUR allows the ability to watch over and view other activities from afar, and encourages new individualized relationships of generic everyday activities to be viewed in new abstracted ways.

Variety is reporting that Darren Aronofsky (The Black Swan) is set to direct and produce an Unforgiven-esque George Washington feature, The General.
Paramount is eyeing the project, from a script by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage, under their first-look deal with Aronofsky, reports Variety:
Par is exclusively eyeing the project under its first-look deal with Aronofsky's Protozoa Pictures banner. If the studio doesn't close a deal in the next couple of days, others get a shot — and interest is expected to be high, with Aronofsky coming off the $329 million worldwide gross and awards success of "Black Swan."
Details on the project are unavailable, apart from the Unforgiven-style comparison. Aronofsky will direct the film after he wraps his biblical feature Noah (scheduled for a March 28, 2014 release). Are you interested?

No it is not illegal for you to buy Viagra and Sertraline online even without a prescription. It is a violation of federal law for it to be sold without a prescription. However, that is a criminal violation for the seller. And FDA has not approved any online selling medications so their safety & efficacy are not regulated.
For further details-
So it's advised to avoid online medications purchasing without consulting your doctor.Sometimes they can cause adverse effects rather than providing benefits.
Hope this helps.

(This weekly column looks at features and products that revolve around Mac OS X, Apple's next generation operating system that's due in early 2001. If you aren't familiar with terms like "Rhapsody" and "OpenStep," check out our explanatory "Note" at the end of this article before proceeding.)
This week we're looking at the UNIX aspects of Mac OS X -- specifically the ability to run UNIX executable programs under Mac OS X -- in the third of a three-part series. This information is based on my conversation with others as, admittedly, UNIX is not an area of expertise for me. As I try to point out on occasion, this column is written by an advanced end user (Yours Truly), not a programmer or developer. However, the folks quoted in this article do fall into these categories or otherwise have extensive UNIX experience.
A Government Computer News (GCN) article says that Mac OS X isn't strictly open source and needs more big apps, but will be "instantly familiar" to Linux and UNIX users.
The story says that the Mac operating system's "freewheeling file organization" has always let the user work idiosyncratically, and that "OS X reins in this loose, forgiving style," though "for the most part, it's worth it."
"OS X is easy to customize with the common UNIX programs that are popular with power users and network administrators," GCN said. "For example, an administrator could run local file servers, secure Web servers and easy-to-use Mac desktop applications all on one network under OS X."
The combination of a robust multiuser networking system with the Mac's intuitive interface could establish a strong middle ground between Microsoft Windows NT and various flavors of Unix, according to the article. If nothing else, it should boost Apple's reputation with the open-source community, which could be a key factor in Apple's survival, opined GCN.
"In principle, using OS X is like running the Gnome or KDE GUI atop a Linux shell," the article said. "But Linux users will have to admit that Apple built the interface right. Processes such as going online and changing system settings are much easier, compared with the open-source GUIs. OS X applications have uniform appearance and behavior, and the nuts and bolts never show."
GCN said that one attribute of Mac OS X that would take a period of adjustment for long time Mac users is the rigid file organization. For Unix and multiuser capability, OS X must keep certain files in certain locations.
"A single user does not, metaphorically speaking, own the entire hard drive," said the article. "Not only are each user's files constrained to a particular folder, but within that folder things also must be arranged a certain way. Applications and system files should not be moved at all. Some customization is possible for more advanced users, but the Mac veteran who creates new folders all over the hard drive is going to run into trouble fast. OS X does not subject its file structure and screen real estate to a single user's whims."
And now some comments from the programmers, UNIX, and NeXTStep users among our readers.
Lawrence C Paulson, Reader in Computational Logic, Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, England, works in research and uses a Mac for typesetting (Textures) and technical drawing (Illustrator). He uses Linux workstations for the actual research, running a lot of highly specialized academic software.
"With the help of colleagues, I managed to get most of it ported within a few weeks of using the public beta," Paulson told MacCentral. "In one case I provided a UserID for a colleague who logged in remotely from another country. Of these programs, the best known is XEmacs. All are running from the UNIX command line. The main deterrents to my switching over completely are the lack of departmental support for Macs, and the lack of a PPC processor that can compete with the 1.2 GHz Athlon I purchased recently."
Using the Mac OS X public beta on a PowerBook G3, Tom Lewellen of the Division of Nuclear Medicine, Department of Radiology, University of Washington, ported the source code for a "modestly large" medical image reconstruction library that was developed at the University of Michigan by Jeffery Fessler. There are three main programs, all controlled by a large Makefile.
"We only had to modify the Makefile to drop the -lm directive to the c linker," Lewellen said. "Lo and behold, it compiled, linked, and passed the standard set of tests in the user manual. We were most pleased. It not only runs, but runs quite well indeed. Obviously, I had the OS X beta developer package installed so that I had the full gc compiler, etc. Also, the code is pretty much ANSI standard C. I have not done a line count on the source files, but the main.c files take up about a megabyte of disk space."
Software developer John Zorko said that "if you're willing to do a little work, you can get the GNU tools to run such as gcc, gdb."
"In short, if you're used to Solaris, or Linux, or BSD, OS X isn't as much of a hurdle to learn as some would have you believe," he said. "Now, if only someone would port GIMP to Aqua -- or Apple would provide X-server capabilities into the release version."
Since Mac OS X is his "platform of choice," Craig Rasmussen said he is currently porting several of the codes on which he's working. In particular, the ULM (User Level Messaging) library is a high performance communication library for parallel applications and SILOON is a library for automatically generating bridging code so that Perl and Python can be used to call C++ and Fortran 90 class libraries, he said.
If you're interested in UNIX executables for Mac OS X (and you probably are or you wouldn't be reading this), FastIO Systems has one such utility for Mac OS X PB that handles bulk converting TIFF images into a PDF (Acrobat) file. You can download a demo version at http://www.fastio.com/tiff2pdf.html.
"This is not really meant as an end-user tool, hence no graphical user interface," Sam Ohzawa of FastIO said. "Most users use it for bulk or automated conversions, often on a server. And Mac OS X makes a fine server that can also be a great desktop machine."
You can find more interesting articles on this subject at http://www.advogato.org/person/wsanchez/, http://www.openpackage.org, and http://homepage.mac.com/loizos/.
(Note: Mac OS X is the upcoming, "next generation" operating system from Apple, due in the first half of 2001. Mac OS X will include components of the traditional Mac OS, as well as components of the Rhapsody project. Rhapsody was once planned as Apple's next generation operating system. It's still around as Mac OS X Server, and parts of Rhapsody technologies will become part of Mac OS X. Rhapsody/Mac OS X Server is partially based on OpenStep technologies that Apple obtained in the purchase of the NeXT company. Carbon is the modified version of the Mac OS application programming interfaces (APIs) that lets applications be rewritten with relative ease for Mac OS X.)

Non-Governmental Organization "Rrjedha" is a non-profitable, educational and informational organization dedicated to promoting the development of life and professional skills among the young people in Kosovo. The prosperity and promotion of the new generation through training programs run by our organization will help reduce ethnic divisions among Kosovars by providing equal opportunities and decision-making processes among the large population of youth to professional and life skills.
This will better prepare not only for job market, but for playing a more active role as a decision-making citizen and brokers of change.
"WE LIKE DEMOCRACY" is a project that its solitary aim is to prompt the opinion in a straight path of the democracy. It is about the people of Kosova that now are (in evolution) changing their own attire promising for the better future of a democratic system. The people of Kosova now is having more possibilities then before to be involved in democratic developing processes of the society, developing very important decisions for their own future.
**The generation that is rapidly growing in Kosovo consists 70% of youth, so there is and urgent need for these kind of programs because the generations including; parents, teachers and educators there is still in their minds communist system spirit and we can conclude that they know a little about democracy.
**It is a big urge as we are facing a big challenge where the justice must rule together with freedom, peace and to bring the democracy for everybody in this cusp of Europe where there still is a small part of the land hearing an echo of democracy.
**The motto of this program is the raising of the knowledge for democracy influencing the participation of the youth in the transitional society where we are fighting and trying for a better future as the democracy is anticipated to have peace, welfare and freedom for everybody.
This is a supported based on the sense of improvement that consist "citizens discussions" in democracy.
Our motto is the desire for peaceful joint life dual understanding for freedom, justice and peace for everybody.
Expected outcomes of the project will be as following:
Involving the young people in Kosovo in order to help consolidate democracy in the region.
Learning the ways of the democratic decision-making processes from other democratic countries.
Building the conscience and responsibility of citizens for future democratic transformations.
** "Beneficiaries" will be the vast of the majority young generations from all communities that live in Gjilan Region.
Participants (Albanian), age 18 – 30 = 357,
Participants (Albanian), age 30 – 60 = 124

Project description:
EVALUATION – Results of the project
Non-Governmental Organization "Rrjedha", made the interview with many young people about the idea of this kind of project and also interview with several Municipal Departments of Education in the region and is made a public discussion on local TV station "VALI", about this matter, where participated the different sort of people, and as a common conclusion was quoted that this kind of training is a need to them. Currently Kosovo is in phase of building a new modern democratic pluralistic system, the young generation has a lack of knowledge of the democratic ways, therefore a project will impact on strengthening and supporting of young generation in order to reduce ethnic and political divisions among Kosovars and provides equal opportunities among the large of people and prepare for playing a more active role as citizen. Through the trainings there will be opportunity to take some examples from other Eastern European countries, that have successfully overcome transition period and shown great value of democratic affirmation.
The outcomes of the project will be expected as following:
Reducing conflict among ethnicities and parties and negative phenomena in our society.
Approaching youth minorities among with majority, in consolidation of democratic society.
Get knowledge of democratic ways from other Democratic European countries.
Increasing concise and responsibility of citizens and society for future changes.
This project will be ended in seven months and two weeks.
The number of the participants will be 896 persons, where half of them will be females.
178 males and 179 Albanian females age 18 – 35.
62 males and 62 Albanian females age 35 – 60. (Educators, Teachers & Parents)
98 males and 98 females from the minority age18 – 35.
32 males and 32 females from the minority aged 35 – 60. (Educators, Teachers & Parents)
155 participants will be from UNMIK, CIVPOL, TMK, Municipality, and Department of Education etc.
Total beneficiaries:……………………992persons.
Project purpose (what goals will be achieved and how the results will be determined/measured):
Project Justification:
The "We like the Democracy" project envisions that approximately 1000 citizens living in the Gjilan Region will participate either directly be impacted by this project.
There are many similar questions going on without unclear responds:
The youth says; "We like democracy".
But how to understand it when we know a little about that?
How to develop and increase the awareness of civil society for a new democratic decision-making processes?
How to learn from its definition?
How to complete and how to put into practical way?
The generation that is rapidly growing in Kosovo consists 70% of youth, so there is and urgent need for these kind of programs because the generations including; parents, teachers and educators there is still in their minds communist system spirit and we can conclude that they know a little about democracy.
Passing through many challenges on these recent years in a way of development and implementation of standardized Civil Society, this project will help on increasing of Capacity of Civil Society to develop, lead and positively respond to community initiatives by introducing them to democratic decision - making processes by training youth about community - based development initiatives, strengthening links between all ethnicities and community organizations. This project as a capacity building program seeks to foster democratic decision –making processes at the community level while bolstering links between communities, civil society and civil institutions. Therefore Kosovars will not be as "beneficiaries", but rather as full partners in the decision –making processes that affect their lives of societal change.
It is a big urge as we are facing a big challenge where the justice must rule together with freedom, peace and to bring the democracy for everybody in this cusp of Europe where there still is a small part of the land hearing an echo of democracy
Project Justification (please describe the need or problems the project will solve and the target groups):
Key to the achievement of civil recovery is the presence of the dynamic civil sector. This suggests not only the creation of an enabling environment for pluralistic decision-making and governance, but also the creation of durable civil institutions that can advocate, promote on behalf of and address the needs of specific constituencies – whether those constituencies be communities, individuals with special needs or the marginalized.
Improvement the quantity and quality of information available to citizens, as well as upgrading the awareness of democratic processes.
Provision a higher level of interethnic development process and building community capacity to advocate for their needs.
The youth generation is going to have a better vision for the future.
Influence on elimination of conflicts among parties and against minorities.
Knowledge about functions rule of law in democratic systems, civil society.
The goal of the project sustains to the citizens in manner to act by self and to them that act to have a grater control above their future.
Project Sustainability:
Having in mind the fact that the society in Kosova has just came out from a wild regime –communism and having in mind that this society has responsibility for the future.
This society hasn't sufficient knowledge about democratic system in education of people to make them possible to act as an ordinary citizen and to feel their human rights and to take responsibilities for the planning of the future in the society model emphasized by the freedom, responsibility, honor, tolerance and equal rights, research for the human conscience and consecration against the universal welfare for enforcement of the Rule of Law and efforts of the citizens for Democracy.

Community Action for Social Service Initiative (CASSI) IRC
I have worked in IRC the program CASSI that was lasted for two years. 2 million $ was funded by USAID and half of million $ from Ireland Aid through the International organization Save the Children.
The main aim of this program was the development and implementation of the project identified by the community themselves in two municipalities – Novobrdo & Kamenica.
This program was in the partnership with these two municipalities and fourteen other villages and12 humanitarian local associations.
CASSI has been closely cooperating with the villagers too. Expect the implementation of the projects we had more other trainings as:
The strategy of planning.
Leading of the project
Budged Development and Administration
Development of the organizations
Resolving of the conflicts
Technical Monitoring
Transparency in public procurement,- etc.
- Working as a team member the CDFO will plan, implement, monitor, and evaluate projects undertaken in area communities with community groups and municipal officials to assist in the development of community-identified projects.
- Maintaining working relationships with community leaders and groups, and municipal authorities.
- Facilitate regular meetings in villages prioritized by the CASSI project. After each meeting the short report will be write detailing the discussions and will be delivered to the CDS.
- Liaise and facility collaborative partnership of communities and community groups with local authorities, UNMIK, National and International organizations, and other community agencies to enhance social provision.
- Assist in the implementation of an initial baseline and finals assessment to determine the impact of the projects.
- Attend and represent the IRC at all relevant meetings, as assigned in the two municipalities.

Samsung receives top honors at CES
CES, there had to be one that received the top honors. After the dust settled, Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) reigned as the pinnacle with 15 International CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards. The Samsung MBP200 Pico Projector was named the Best of Innovations with its ability to connect with a phone or computer and produce a 50-inch screen on a surface. Six awards went to a variety of Bluetooth headsets demonstrated during the event. It's no wonder why Samsung is continuing to eat up market share every year. Everyone will be looking forward for all their devices to be released to the general public in the near future.With so many companies previewing the latest and greatest devices to the world during

Sammy! Good stuff! I didn't really like Samsung too much up until recently. When they started releasing their touch phones, I bought the Eternity because of the ease of function. I really really like this phone a lot! I have a blackberry, and it does what I need it to do, but the Eternity is a lot of fun. IMO they have really stepped up their game. Nice Job!!

Although the line up looks good, the phones never turn out to be as good as advertised. Sorry but the Omnia is ok but not a Storm, the Glyde was so bad before the software update and still isnt anything to brag about.... for VZW I am not impressed with Samsung. Hopefully our line up is going to be better than this past year.

Alert for the second half of 2013 – Global systemic crisis II: second devastating explosion/social outburst on a worldwide scale
The 2008 shock was certainly violent, but the reactions of the system, countries and central banks with their bailouts on an unprecedented scale, managed to hide the worst consequences: downgrading of the West in general and the United States in particular, a forced cleanup of the economy, a heavy fall from an artificial standard of living, mass unemployment, the beginning of social unrest… have been able to be partly neglected in favour of recovery hopes kept alive by irresponsible policies diverting liquidity to the banking systems and stock exchanges. Sadly, whilst the world drugged itself, global issues weren't addressed… five lost years: the building is even less strong than before the crisis; the US "solution" orchestrated by the Fed, that everyone else left it to manage to take the time to dress their own wounds, has been to put out with gasoline the fire which they themselves lit. It's not surprising then that it is still the US, pillar of the world before, refusing to fall in line, with their faithful Japanese and British floats, which is once again igniting the world situation. And this time, we shouldn't rely on bankrupt countries to save the situation: they are on their knees following the first shock in 2008. Therefore, it's actually a second world crisis which is looming, once again caused by the United States. Ultimately this five-year period will have been nothing other than taking a step back to enter into an even bigger crisis, which we have called "the crisis squared".

Department of Sustainability and Environment from Australia claims the singer's action can cause the animal to be vulnerable to attack.
Taylor Swift has come under fire from Australian environmental activists after feeding wild possums during a mischievous midnight outing Down Under.
The "Love Story" hitmaker celebrated a sold-out performance at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday, February 10 by visiting a local park to see the wildlife, and later took to her Twitter.com page to tell fans: "Tonight the band and I played a show, then hopped in the van and headed to the park for some midnight wild possum feeding."
But Swift's wild night out has drawn criticism from authorities at the state of Victoria's environmental agency, who claim the creatures should be left alone. A spokesperson Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) says, "We know people who feed wild animals often have the best intentions and that it is attractive to tourists who want to interact with Australian wildlife."
"However, DSE advises people not to feed wild animals. It can disrupt their natural behavior and it can cause some animals to lose their natural fear of people, making them vulnerable to attack."

Yes, The Big O herself. (She looks good in the color orange). Oh boy, do I miss her show in the late afternoon. I often dreamed of getting tickets for her show, and offered a little prayer to be in the audience on the day it was Oprah's Favorite Things! Ms. O overcame many obstacles in her early years to get where she is. Oprah was never too ostentatious, and felt obligated to pay it forward. The Oprah Show officially ended in May, but we have her new network, OWN. Hope the ratings improve, only time will tell. Oprah will never disappear into obscurity.

As the Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act Takes Hold, U.S. Sees Expatriates at All-Time High
Are you living the American dream … abroad? If so, you may be considering joining forces with Superman[1] and changing your nationality. You face some unique burdens if you earn a cent while soaking up the sun in Saint Tropez or make a rupee while navigating the marketplace in Mumbai. The most obvious, from a financial perspective, is double taxation. America is one of the few countries to tax its citizens on their global income. That means that Americans must contend with tax liability and report requirements of the country where their income is earned. Also, they then must pay Uncle Sam taxes on that same foreign-based income. (The foreign tax credit offsets some of this burden, but it generally does not eliminate all double taxes.)
Now Americans abroad are facing a new financial challenge: finding places to park their money. Thanks to the Foreign Accounts Tax Compliance Act, which Congress passed in 2010, banks in foreign countries are refusing to hold accounts for American citizens. FATCA aims at enforcing American tax law on its citizens and ensuring those citizens are disclosing all income and assets to Uncle Sam. To confirm full disclosure, the law imposes reporting requirements on the foreign financial institutions that do business with Americans. Many of these banks have decided that the regulatory burden and penalties for non-compliance are too onerous so they have opted to refuse Americans' money. The problem Americans face banking abroad has become big enough that members of Congress have called hearings on the matter. [Of course, unless Congress repeals the reporting mandates that FATCA imposes on foreign financial institutions, what impact could hearings have? Congressional members could acknowledge the problem, but there is really only one solution. Superman, where are you when we need you?]
Of the many concerns Americans have over FATCA, the law is seen as too intrusive, especially to bi-nationals who identify culturally with another nationality. The law requires individuals to file – in addition to FBARs – the already-notorious Form 8938, which demands details on foreign assets such as life insurance contracts, loans, and holdings in non-U.S. companies. Additionally there are the hefty civil and criminal penalties of $50,000 or one-half the value of accounts for individuals who have not complied with all reporting requirements (many Americans abroad, apparently have struggled with compliance).
So as FATCA takes hold (the U.S. is actively negotiating intergovernmental agreements with foreign jurisdictions to ensure enforceability of its laws), Americans abroad increasingly face the question: are the benefits of American citizenship worth the cost? More people are answering "no" and choosing to renounce their American citizenship. In fact, so many are answering "no" that we are breaking renunciation records. In 2011, more than 1,800 Americans renounced their citizenship, which was more than 2007, 2008, and 2009 combined. In 2013, that number jumped to almost 3,000, which is an all-time record. The number of American citizens wanting to renounce their citizenship is so high in Switzerland there is a waiting list (reported as 18-months long).
Some may think that 3,000 people renouncing their citizenship is a drop in the bucket, nothing to sneeze at, and small potatoes. The number of renouncers doesn't compare to the 1 million who are legally immigrating to the U.S. every year. "Goodbye and good riddance," some have commented.
But the trend is more troubling than it may appear. By raw numbers, the U.S. may be averaging a 997,000 surplus in immigrants versus emigrants, but Uncle Sam's tax roll will not reflect the same surplus. The people who are renouncing their citizenship tend to be on the wealthier side. Not all are Eduardo Saverins (the Facebook co-founder who emigrated to Singapore "for business reasons" i.e. to reduce his tax liability). But expatriates are undergoing the pains of renunciation because they have greater than average networths and they see the writing on the U.S. budget deficit's wall (many surmise that FATCA is an attempt to curb the deficit). The people who are immigrating to the U.S. tend to be those who are looking for opportunity, education, etc. They are bringing wallets full of hope, not gold. And when you recognize that the top 1 percent of American earners pay about 37 percent of all the federal taxes, a few thousand on the wealthier side become statistically significant.
A very popular phrase bandied about by politicians is that you can tell the health of the nation by the number of people who want to come and stay. That immigration reform is an issue, to many, means we have a good thing going here in the U.S. that others want to be a part of. But when the nation's wealthy start opting out of the American dream, when they start thinking our borders as made of kryptonite, it's time to pause and reflect.

I suppose by some standards if you can afford to pay the $450 renunciation fee and the costs involved in filing the requisite 5 years of tax returns and possible exit tax in order to completely extricate yourself from the US tax system you might be considered wealthy. Hopefully the remaining millions of "US persons" will be able to remain under the US's tax radar in order to be left alone to survive on their modest earnings in other countries.
While I greatly appreciate this perspective, I find that most expats (those renouncing) are not wealthy and they are not a part of the US system, given that they live in other nations. As such, it is more likely that the US is losing valuable diplomats of US culture and economics. The US might not notice much taxwise, but it may very well notice the unintended consequences without being able to connect the dots to understand the extent of the problem.
I agree with the above commenters. There's a myth that expats are rich and living on islands when the evidence is that most of them are in Canada or Europe which are high tax countries. Most are abroad due to marriage or a job and there is no evidence they rich.
That said, if the U.S. has created such an issue that Americans aboard find they cannot keep their citizenship then perhaps that issue ought to be looked at. I don't care if the number is one or ten thousand. Something is wrong here and it's not the expats who are the problem.
Honestly, I cannot fathom the logic or the nerve of the US government. I was born in the US but have lived in Canada for the past 17 years. This is my home and this is where I'll stay to the end of my days. I am a Canadian citizen. I don't feel that I am "US" property until "death do us part." (In some cases even after that!) I am not some young calf who has been branded because of the location of my birth.
I owe my good fortune solely to God and my beloved parents who reared me. Period. And I am not speaking of mere money, my friends……….
Plus the added headache of having to sit down myself each year (it would cost a fortune otherwise) to fill out 30 pages of diabolic tax forms in order to show I owe ZERO taxes is the ultimate in silliness. Wasn't there a song "30 ways to leave your lover?" It (sadly) looks like it's time to "slip out the back, Jack. Make a new plan, Uncle Sam.:

Music Review: Miles Davis Quintet - Live in Europe 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. 2 [3-CD/1-DVD]
Published 1:28 am, Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Following the 2011 release of the extraordinary first volume, which spotlighted Miles Davis' second great quintet, Sony Legacy has issued Live in Europe 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. 2. This second volume follows the model established by the first-three CDs and a DVD. The collection showcases Davis' "lost" quintet, which included Wayne Shorter on tenor and soprano saxes, Chick Corea on keys, Dave Holland on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on drums. The group has long been dubbed "lost" because there weren't any recordings, studio or otherwise, officially released during their brief time together. That is, until now.
Start with the DVD for an electrifying introduction to this lineup. Taped November 7, 1969 in Berlin, this 45-minute concert is a fascinating opportunity to see a Davis in full control of his instrumental prowess, both as trumpeter and bandleader. As the announcer introduces the quintet members individually, the band looks like they're preparing for battle; serious and utterly focused. This is Davis in transition, no longer fully acoustic thanks to Corea's electric piano, but not the hardcore fusion that would soon follow. The musicians glide from one selection to the next so smoothly, you might not notice the switch unless you're paying close attention. And close attention is what this entire set demands.
The CDs offer three nearly complete concerts, all originally recorded for broadcast on state-owned radio stations. The first two were recorded on back-to-back days, July 25 and 26, 1969 in Antibes, France. The set lists range from standards like "I Fall in Love Too Easily" and Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight" to selections from Davis' then yet-to-be-released Bitches Brew. The constantly churning rhythm section segues from Joe Zawinul's "Directions" into the heavy groove of "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" on the first disc, with Davis conjuring a fat, juicy tone on his trumpet during the latter.
The second show includes significantly different takes on some of the same tunes ("Voodoo Down," for instance, shows up later in the set and the funk hits even harder). It also boasts a few tunes that don't repeat in any of the other three sets, including Davis originals "No Blues" and "Spanish Key." The former features what might be Holland's finest bass solo on the collection, plus some especially blistering trumpet lines from the bandleader. The latter tune benefits from some fascinatingly discordant keyboard soloing courtesy of Corea.
The third concert is a slightly edited set from November 5, 1969 in Stockholm, Sweden. "Masqualero" was faded out by the radio station that originally broadcast the show, so the tune trails off just under the eight minute mark. Chick Corea's "This" was tacked on a consolation prize, pulled from the second concert of that night (I wonder if the rest of that set will surface at some point). One noteworthy difference about the third disc is that Corea plays acoustic piano on that one. It offers a starkly contrasting sound-more traditional, but no less excellent-when compared with the more progressive electric keyboard work on the other sets.
Though the liner notes by Josef Woodard are excellent, featuring new interview material with drummer DeJohnette, an actual booklet would've been infinitely preferable to the "mini-poster" the notes are printed on. It's a real pain to unfold that thing just to read about the music contained on these discs. That relatively minor complaint aside, Live in Europe 1969: The Bootleg Series Vol. 2 is an essential entry in the Miles Davis discography.

Though Akshay Kumar's Diwali party on Wednesday night had several B-Town folk in attendance, his closest buddy and production partner Vipul Shah was conspicious by his absence. Says a source, "There has been buzz about problems between Akshay and Vipul (who's directing the Salman Khan-Ajay Devgan starrer London Dreams) though both have denied it. The rumour that did the rounds some time back was that Akshay and Vipul had differences about the publicity designs of Singh Is Kinng and over certain accounting problems."
Adds the source, "It was strange that neither Vipul nor his wife Shefali (who is close to Akshay's wife Twinkle) attended the bash." The source continues, "Akshay extended invitations over a week ago, so it was strange that Vipul made plans to go to Goa with his family just a day before Akki's party." However, Vipul maintains, "I had to miss Akshay's party as I am in Goa. I'll be celebrating with him in the second week of November, when we announcing our next film together."
Interestingly, Ajay Devgan is also in Goa with wife Kajol and daughter Nysa. Vipul adds, "I am with family and friends in Goa and will return on Saturday." Vipul and Ajay had bonded well during the overseas shooting of London Dreams and so had Salman Khan, who also stars in the film. Both Ajay and Salman leave no stone unturned for their antipathy towards Akshay. In fact, Salman was invited to Akshay's party along with his brothers but he chose not to attend."
