Ever since Akhil amazed all with his special appearance in the climax of Manam, everyone started discussing about his full length debut on silver screen. Akhil too announced that he would reveal details in just 20 days. But till now nothing happened.
It is coming out that King Nagarjuna is in dilemma to select director for his son's debut project. Though he is on the verge of finalising VV.Vinayak, sources say he is weighing all options. He is finding out whether any best alternate option is available.
He feels Trivikram Srinivas is the other option. However he is already directing Stylish Star Allu Arjun and later will be directing Prince Mahesh Babu. It is known that Mahesh is currently starring in Koratala Shiva's direction.
Nag contacted Trivikram and asked how will it be if he directs Akhil in between Mahesh's two projects. Trivikram however didnot answer in affirmation but sources say if Mahesh is ok with it, he has no objection. But in between producers will also be involved. So Nag feels if Trivikram can be roped in he will go ahead or else proceed as planned with Vinayak.

Why did Reyes leave the game?
Mets could not care less about this game. Volquez will probably pitch a gem.
Neither team wants to be on the field. I guess everyone got their numbers. Turn out the lights the party is over.
Dunn not in the lineup. Guess he is going to end the season at .159. Amazing. Dunn had to work hard to get under .160, going hitless in his last 23 ABs.
Wright gets an infield single and is pulled. I guess if you get a hit you are rewarded by coming out of the game. Single to center and the Mets score as Stubbs bobbles the ball.
Phillips not in the game either today. I guess Dusty is protecting Brandon's .300 batting average.
And if Brandon wasn't dealin' today at the plate, he'd be cryin' big time in a huge way when his average slipped below .300.
Janish needs to go an all-spinach diet.
Brandon got hurt last night...

What about Microsoft or Driver Updates?
I had a problem similar to this about 6 months ago, but my major issue was that the domain NTP server's (PDC) time service wouldn't start. If the clocks on your computers across the network are off by more than 5 minutes, you can have all kinds of issues...
I remember removing a piece of software from the server that was no longer needed, but for the life of me I can't remember what it was.
After I uninstalled that program, all of my issues magically disappeared...
Also, go to http://fileconnect.symantec.com and make sure you have the latest release of Endpoint Protection. I just downloaded the latest version the other day and haven't had issues with it.
I'll keep thinking about this and comment if I come up with a solid solution.

What is fashion to you?
I think fashion is fearless and it should set people free.
Which sport has the best dressed athletes?
Tennis, where you can play around with shorts and dresses. I personally like Maria Sharapova's style and also Usain Bolt's.
Which male celebrity you think is best dressed?
Ranveer Singh has a personal identity and a quirky, outlandish sense of style.
Which celebrities would you love to dress up?
Rihanna and Beyonce. And Michelle Obama.
Do you have any favourite team and players in the IPL?
Well, I like the Chennai Super Kings and Mahendra Singh Dhoni as a batsman. When it comes to bowlers, I fancy Lasith Malinga.
Do you expect the WICL jerseys to catch on like IPL jerseys have?
The intention is to give importance to women in a male-dominated sport. You can do much where fashion is concerned. We hope it catches on.
Factors you'd keep in mind while designing for a competitive sport?
We'll have to work backwards as we await the guidelines. We're working with a local manufacturer in Australia and while we can't play with the fabric, the textures or the cuts, we can work on the caps, armbands and training gear.
Which colours are picked for the franchises?
We're still waiting on the franchises, what they stand for. The owners may also have ideas.
Which other projects can we look forward to?
This year we're focusing on collaborations, like home decor and crockery. We also have Masaba Lite, which offers a cheaper version of products, and accessories and nightwear.
One outfit in your wardrobe that you keep coming back to?

Any WMI driver that registers one or more of its data blocks as expensive to collect must handle this IRP. A driver can handle WMI IRPs either by calling WmiSystemControl or by handling the IRP itself, as described in Handling WMI Requests.
If a driver calls WmiSystemControl to handle an IRP_MN_DISABLE_COLLECTION request, WMI in turn calls that driver's DpWmiFunctionControl routine.
Major Code
When Sent
WMI sends this IRP to request the driver to stop accumulating data for a data block that the driver registered as expensive to collect and for which data collection has been enabled.
WMI sends this IRP at IRQL = PASSIVE_LEVEL in an arbitrary thread context.
Input Parameters
Parameters.WMI.ProviderId points to the device object of the driver that should respond to the request. This pointer is located in the driver's I/O stack location in the IRP.
Parameters.WMI.DataPath points to a GUID that identifies the data block for which data accumulation should be stopped.
Output Parameters
I/O Status Block
If the driver handles the IRP by calling WmiSystemControl, WMI sets Irp->IoStatus.Status and Irp->IoStatus.Information in the I/O status block.
Otherwise, the driver sets Irp->IoStatus.Status to STATUS_SUCCESS or to an appropriate error status such as the following:
On success, a driver sets Irp->IoStatus.Information to zero.
A driver registers a data block as expensive to collect by setting WMIREG_FLAG_EXPENSIVE in the Flags member of the WMIREGGUID or WMIGUIDREGINFO structure that the driver passes to WMI when it registers or updates the data block. A driver need not accumulate data for such a block until it receives an explicit request to enable collection.
If a driver handles WMI IRPs by calling WmiSystemControl, that routine calls the driver's DpWmiFunctionControl routine, or returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the driver does not define the routine.
If a driver handles an IRP_MN_DISABLE_COLLECTION request itself, it should do so only if Parameters.WMI.ProviderId points to the same device object as the pointer that the driver passed to IoWMIRegistrationControl. Otherwise, the driver must forward the request to the next-lower driver.
Before handling the request, the driver must determine whether Parameters.WMI.DataPath points to a GUID that the driver supports. If not, the driver must fail the IRP and return STATUS_WMI_GUID_NOT_FOUND. If the data block is valid but was not registered with WMIREG_FLAG_EXPENSIVE, the driver can return STATUS_SUCCESS and take no further action.
It is unnecessary for the driver to check whether data collection is already disabled because WMI sends a single disable request for the data block when the last data consumer disables collection for that block. WMI will not send another disable request without an intervening request to enable.

Menands manufacturer Albany International Corp. has said it will have to waive up to $ 7.4 million in unpaid bills charged to bankrupt jet company Eclipse Aviation Corp.
Albuquerque-based Eclipse filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Nov. 25, citing more than $ 1 billion in debts. That includes the $ 7.4 million owed to Albany International (NYSE: AIN) for aircraft parts.
The aircraft work affects Albany International's composites division, which had a net loss of $ 3.3 million in the third quarter of this year. The company now expects the division to sustain net losses throughout all of next year, as a result of the drop in orders from Eclipse, which was the division's largest customer.
In a Nov. 26 regulatory filing, Albany International said the composites division, which relies on aerospace customers, will "resume its rapid growth in 2010" with or without future sales to Eclipse.
Albany International expects it will need to write off most, if not all, of the .4 million that Eclipse owes. That write-off will occur in the fourth quarter, the company said.
The company also expects to take a $ 3.8 million write-down in the fourth quarter, accounting for equipment and inventory related to Eclipse.
The composites division has taken in $ 18 million in revenue through September, according to regulatory filings. Albany International executives believe the division will eventually generate $ 400 million in annual revenue.
In court papers, Eclipse has said it wants to sell almost all of its assets. The company will remain operational as it restructures, but it has halted orders from Albany International.
Albany International could recover the money that Eclipse owes during the course of bankruptcy proceedings, but Albany International officials said it is too early to determine how much money the company could receive, if any.
Albany International has pushed into aerospace while still retaining its core business of making custom fabrics and belts designed for the paper mill industry. The company generated $ 1.09 billion in revenue in 2007, an 8 percent increase over the year before.
Albany International has cut jobs in the Albany, N.Y., area and elsewhere over the past couple years, and now employs 6,000 people in 14 countries, including 213 in the Albany region.

Software license review available to UK companiestest
FAST Corporate Services
: 02 July, 2009
(New Product)
The commercial arm of FAST is offering UK companies the opportunity to review their compliance to software licensing requirements to avoid exposure to prosecution
FAST Ltd, a UK Software Asset Management and IT Compliance company, providing software, education, consulting and managed services has launched a campaign to provide help to those organisations who are concerned that they might become the next victim of a crackdown on software piracy.
It follows Soho House Group's decision to agree a settlement with the Business Software Alliance (BSA) for alleged unlicensed use of software. The London-based company, famous for its Soho House, Babington House and Soho House New York venues, was investigated by the BSA for alleged under-licensing of Microsoft software. The parties reached a settlement and Soho House subsequently paid an undisclosed sum to the BSA.
At the beginning of June, the BSA launched a two-month campaign aimed at companies in London, encouraging users to pay for their software. London has the highest incidence of piracy in the UK - even when a company insists it made an unintentional oversight or blunder. The Soho House case, which is thought to involve a considerable sum, demonstrates how the onus is on businesses to prove they have bought their software legitimately.
If a software publisher or other body decides to audit an organisation's software, it will cause significant disruption to the business as well as potential damage to the company's reputation by being named and shamed should unlicensed software be found. Soho House is a case in point.
Andy Pearce, Managing Director for FAST Ltd comments: "Without good software asset management, companies could also be spending too much on software as well as too little. More than 40 percent of UK businesses find they are over-licensed on software and in these difficult economic times, cost control is more important than ever. Sure you don't want any unexpected costs or settlement costs but equally you don't want to be paying for software you are not using. We're here to help and in response to the BSA's London campaign, we have also launched an initiative to provide companies with some options ahead of a rather more embarrassing and nasty disclosure. After all, it makes a lot of sense to get this under control yourself, before you are forced to."
The BSA, one of a number of umbrella trade bodies that enforce copyright law on behalf of members, says its biggest recent settlement in the UK was £250,000 in 2007. Last year, it carried out 294 legal actions in the UK. The value of legal settlements achieved by the BSA on behalf of its members in the UK for the illegal use of unlicensed software is 25 times up on the same period in 2008. For example:
• In April two Belfast companies were hit with settlement fees of more than £15,000 for using unlicensed software
• Two Scottish companies recently paid almost £150,000 in settlement costs after being found to be using unlicensed software
To help combat this problem, FAST Ltd is offering a FAST Licence Review for companies concerned about their current licensing situation. This review service can quickly determine whether a company is able to provide proof of entitlement for the software it is using. On completion of a review of the current situation, FAST's licensing experts will produce an Effective Licence Position (ELP) for the software.
By carrying out a FAST Licence Review companies will:
• Have accurate information to submit to vendors and enforcement bodies when requested
• Ensure they have the correct number of licences for software installed
• Be able to take steps to mitigate the risk if under-licensed software is identified
• Be in a better position to negotiate future software licensing contracts
• Avoid paying for licences that they don't need
A recent survey conducted by FAST IiS in October 2008, showed that although 75 percent of companies have in place a Software Asset Management policy, 38 percent admitted that they had only a basic understanding of their software licences. This lack of transparency can leave businesses open to the threat of the legal and financial consequences of under and over licensing. This is clearly not a good situation to be in under any circumstances, but especially not in the tough economic climate we are currently experiencing.
Pearce continues: 'At FAST we certainly believe that education is better than prosecution which is why we are encouraging companies to come forward and to take up our FAST Licence Review option."
FAST Ltd recently launched its own software compliance tool, FAST Compliance Manager, to help customers better manage their software compliance and gain a clear view of their entitlement and usage rights. It also offers a wide range of professional, consulting and managed services to UK organisations that want to benefit from smarter IT and software asset management strategies, and ensure they have a legally compliant IT infrastructure.

The National Astronomy Meeting 2012
Interview with
Ben - NAM is the annual meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society. Although this year was a little bit special because it was in partnership with the German Astronomical Society, the Astronomische Gesellschaft. It's sponsored by the STFC and also the University of Manchester as this year's event was held in Manchester University. There were nearly 1,000 delegates, hundreds and hundreds of presentations, exciting public events, plenaries, and some fun social events as well.
Chris - Now off course, you make
Naked Astronomy which is our podcast that Dominic also appears on so I presume this is going to turn into an episode of Naked Astronomy. But without giving the game away too much, what were the top stories that you saw this week?
Ben - Well, the one that seems to have really gathered the most coverage is an image that's been called the "billion stars photograph" even though there are actually far more than a billion stars in it. It's a photograph of the Milky Way put together by people at the University of Edinburgh from images taken by two different infrared telescopes. There's the UK infrared telescope in Hawaii, and Vista which is in Chile. All in all, it comes to 150 gigapixels. If you think that your digital camera might be 10 megapixels, that's 1500 photos tiled next to each other. They worked out that if you were to print it out, it would be about 200 metres wide. So it's a huge image and it's an image of our Milky Way.
Chris - Nice, but why is it important?
Ben - Well, it's very useful for testing algorithms that are designed for spotting interesting or unusual objects and it's part of something called the Vista Data Flow System. The idea is that we use this to calibrate new telescopes and essentially to archive astronomical data so people can easily use that image to give us an idea of what is actually there at a given time in the Milky Way.
Chris - Meteors?
Ben - It's also been found that Jupiter and the resonant orbits between Jupiter and Haley's Comet are responsible for when we get spectacular meteor showers which are known as meteor outbursts. There was one of these back in 1993, another in 2006, and now, researchers at Armagh Observatory in Northern Ireland think that this is because of the gravitational impact of Jupiter which slightly restricts the orbit so that you get a bunching up of the stuff that falls out of Haley's Comet. When we then go through that bit of the tail in Earth's orbit, we get this spectacular meteor shower.
Chris - But we've got to live another - I don't know- 70 years, 60 years to see it, haven't we now?
Ben - Well, the next one is going to be in 2070, yes, but they do argue that there's still an awful lot of good science that we can do between now and then.
Chris - Terrific! And finish this up by telling us about the dark energy material they presented.
Ben - Well this is based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey 3 (SDSS-3) and using a survey called BOSS - that's Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. What they've done is looked at over 250,000 galaxies and essentially done a statistical analysis where you can see how they clump together, and the clumping together can give you some idea of the waves that formed in the very, very early universe before atoms even condensed out of the incredibly hot plasma.
These waves got "fixed" in place so if we look at these waves at different times, we can look at the expansion of the universe by looking at the size of those wavelengths. Researchers working on BOSS have worked out that dark energy, this incredible force that is driving the expansion of the universe to get faster and faster, seems to have taken over somewhere between 5.5 and 6.5 billion years ago. Before that, the dominant force in the universe was gravity holding everything together and after that, it's been dark energy that's been causing the universe to expand. That won a Nobel Prize when it was first discovered. So now, working out what it is that's doing it is a big question in astronomy.

15 Bike-friendly Routes
By Alex Phillips
Did you know Oregon pioneered the first, and so far only, Scenic Bikeways program in America? Since 2005, 15 bike-friendly routes have been designated throughout the state. Each route showcases Oregon's scenic beauty and the very best of Oregon's road cycling.
Local riders are encouraged to nominate routes and after a rigorous application process, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department designates route winners as a Scenic Bikeway.
Cycle Oregon, an event ride organization, envisioned the program in 2000 and worked with Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, Oregon Department of Transportation and Travel Oregon to get it rolling.
Each Scenic Bikeway has a web page featuring a video about the ride, printable maps, mileage information, description of the route, best seasons to go and a list of resources to help plan your trip. Easily searchable by level of difficulty, the routes range from mild to extreme, half-day to multi-day adventures and are designated as loops, out-and-back or one-way excursions.
This fun, casual ride classification is appropriate for nearly everyone, including family groups and offers rides that have minimal traffic and are mostly flat.
Covered Bridges
35 miles round trip
Seventeen miles on a paved off-road path with a few road crossings; a loop with one section of out and back. Features covered bridges, lakes views, wonderful fall foliage and the historic downtown of Cottage Grove.
This ride classification isn't for absolute beginners, but won't be a major undertaking for those who cycle regularly. These moderate rides feature varying levels of traffic, and may include some hills.
Madras Mountain Views
35 miles round trip
Route starts in Madras, a small town with hotels, a brew pub and several restaurants. Seven spectacular Cascade Mountains and basalt palisades are visible as you ride along the rim overlooking Lake Billy Chinook.
Sisters to Smith Rock
37 miles one way
Starts in downtown Sisters and passes through Terrebonne. Roll by fertile pastures of alpacas grazing with snow-covered Cascade Mountains and Smith Rock State Park providing scenic backdrops.
Twin Bridges
36-mile loop
Highlights Central Oregon's Cascade Mountains, rim rock canyons, high desert rangeland and the Deschutes River. The ride starts in bustling downtown Bend and passes through the small town of Tumalo.
Tualatin Valley
50 miles one way
Accessible from the Portland MAX Light Rail, this Bikeway starts on the edge of the urban setting of Hillsboro and quickly enters the lush Tualatin River Basin dotted with wetlands, small forests, vineyards and views of the Coast Range.
Willamette Valley
135 miles one way
This mostly flat route showcases one of the most productive and beautiful agricultural valleys in the world, known for its pinot noir wine grapes, hops for beer, hazelnuts and Marion berries.
Wild Rivers Coast
60 miles out and back
Views from this Bikeway take in a wild and scenic river, lush cranberry bogs, towering basalt sea stacks and vast ocean views. The start is in the quaint fishing hamlet of Port Orford, the oldest town on the Oregon Coast with locally owned hotels, restaurants and eclectic art galleries.
This ride classification is for regular cyclists looking for a good, hard ride. These rides will involve a combination of length and climbing.
Grande Tour
134-mile loop in a figure-eight pattern
This Bikeway offers views of Eastern Oregon's Eagle Cap Mountains, the Elkhorn Range, the Blue and Wallowa Mountains and passes through La Grande, Baker City and the villages of Union and North Powder. Towns spaced just right along the route give ample opportunities to stop for supplies or for the night.
Old West
174-mile loop
The ride starts in the town of John Day at Kam Wah Chung State Heritage Site that is part museum, part general store, part apothecary and part religious shrine. It offers a snapshot of the Chinese immigrant experience in the 19th and 20th century American West.
Cascading Rivers
70 miles one way
This route follows the Clackamas and Breitenbush rivers between the small towns of Estacada and Detroit with very little but wilderness, rivers and trees in between.
These rides are classified extreme for experienced riders who are in top shape and able to climb hills for most the day.
Blue Mountain Century
108-mile loop
There are big hills with a total elevation gain of 8,000 feet. Starting in the small town of Heppner with the tiny hamlet of Ukiah at the halfway mark, this route is remote with breathtaking views of the Blue Mountains.
McKenzie Pass
35 miles one way
Starting in Sisters, it follows an 1860s wagon route, with a view of Mount Washington and lava flows. The steep descent to Belknap Hot Springs switchbacks down to the dense, verdant Cascadian forest. This Bikeway is closed to motor vehicles each spring for car-free riding.
Cascade Siskiyou
55-mile loop
Starting in Ashland, the Bikeway climbs 5,000 feet through oak savannah into fir forests. Best season to ride: spring through fall.
Painted Hills
130 miles with a loop and several out and backs
This Bikeway meanders through the multicolored John Day Fossil Beds National Monument that connects the small communities of Fossil, Service Creek, Spray and Mitchell in eastern Oregon. From your bicycle seat, you can see millions of years of history revealed in the layers of earth, one color at a time.
Oregon Outback
89 miles total with a loop and an out and back
The Bikeway starts in Lakeview and is nestled in the beautiful Warner Mountains, located where the forested Cascades meet the high desert basin and range.

NEW YORK — When the Dallas Mavericks returned home from Miami after vanquishing the Heat last week, Dirk Nowitzki emerged from the team plane witha cigar in his left hand, the NBA Finals most valuable player trophy in his right hand and wearing an uncharacteristically boastful T-shirt that read, "I'm that dude."
It was a bold statement, but it couldn't be denied that the Mavericks won their first NBA championship because a once-maligned German player wouldn't let a freshly torn tendon in his left middle finger, a fever, or even the overly hyped opposition stand in his way. Many myths about international players have been put to rest through the globalization of the game over the past 20 years, but Nowitzki ended one of the last remaining tales — that a player from Europe couldn't be the centerpiece of an NBA championship team.
"This might be the first time in memory where the true Alpha dog has been a European product," said Donnie Nelson, Mavericks president of basketball operations. "That is a special situation."
While there is no "Next Nowitzki" expected to emerge from Thursday's NBA draft, three European players — Turkey's Enes Kanter, Jan Vesely of the Czech Republic and Jonas Valanciunas from Lithuania — are expected to be among the top 10 players selected for the first time. Three other international players could go in the top 20 — Congolese center Bismack Biyombo, Lithuania's Donatas Motiejunas and Southern California forward Nikola Vucevic, a native of Montenegro.
Duke point guard Kyrie Irving and Arizona forward Derrick Williams are expected to go first and second to Cleveland and Minnesota, respectively, and Utah is strongly considering taking Kanter, a bruising, 6-foot-11 forward, third overall. Vesely, an athletic 6-11 forward who compares himself to Andrei Kirilenko, or Valanciunas, a promising, 19-year-old center, are not expected to slip past the Wizards, who select sixth overall. Kanter was forced to miss all of last season at Kentucky after being ruled ineligible for accepting benefits from this Turkish team, Fenerbahce. But if he had been allowed to play, Kanter said he would've been rated higher in this draft. "I would go with the No. 1 pick," Kanter said, confidently. "I believe I am the best player in this draft. I'm going to show everybody European basketball is getting so much better."
The NBA hasn't been afraid to raid talent from overseas — three of the past 10 No. 1 overall picks came from abroad — but only two international players were selected among the top 14 lottery picks in the past three years, with none reaching those heights last season — when no international player was taken until the Wizards drafted France's Kevin Seraphin with the 17th pick.
Tony Ronzone, the Minnesota Timberwolves' assistant general manager, said that the championship success of Nowitzki, Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol and 2007 NBA Finals MVP Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili of San Antonio, among others, has played a role in eliminating the inaccurate perceptions of foreign-born players, but added that what Nowitzki accomplished last week has probably made more teams comfortable about investing higher draft picks on players from abroad.
"You eliminate that thought process, of 'Can an international guy lead a team to a championship?' That theory is out the window because Dirk just did it," said Ronzone, who also serves as director of international player personnel for USA Basketball. "This states to the NBA and the rest of the world is, you can be from Africa, or China, or anywhere in the world and lead your team to the championship. It puts more stock when you're drafting, where you don't have to shy away from that."
This year is also different because of what ESPN draft analyst Fran Fraschilla describes as the "perfect storm" in which four potential lottery picks — Ohio State's Jared Sullinger, North Carolina's Harrison Barnes, Baylor's Perry Jones and Kentucky's Terrence Jones — elected to return to school for another year. But Ronzone added that the crop of foreign talent, with Kanter, Vesely and Valanciunas this season is "pretty darn good. I think these things just go in trends and cycles. I don't see them as all-stars right now but I think they could potentially get there. But I think now, [they are] really good starters in the league."
Since Gheorghe Muresan retired, the Wizards haven't had much success with European players. Juan Carlos Navarro, a 2002 second-round pick, never played for the team and flamed out one year after getting dealt to Memphis. Oleksiy Pecherov, the 18th pick of the 2006 draft, played two seasons in Washington before getting traded to Minnesota and is already out of the league. But Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said those situations wouldn't have any effect on his decision this year.
"We're not scared off by international players," Grunfeld said. "International players take up 20 percent of this league right now. I think they've shown they can compete on this level and they can have a lot of success on this level. We feel we have a pretty good handle on some of these players, and some of the players have played in big time competition. Foreign players have had success. I think people are comfortable with them."
Fraschilla said it is important to temper expectations and not place unfair labels on players from Europe. "I think a mistake teams made early, seven, eight, nine years ago, they were automatically assuming that every international guy was automatically the next Dirk or Pau. That's unrealistic. In many cases, it's the teams who are at fault for trying to see in a player that's from Europe that he's the next Dirk Nowitzki. I don't see any Dirk Nowitzki in this draft. The closest thing, in my opinion — it's like ice cream here, we all have our flavors — I think Enes Kanter because of the combination of size, athleticism and skill level has that best opportunity to be a Dirk, although I don't think it's going to happen."
But will there ever be another Nowitzki?
"No doubt about it, there will be," Ronzone said. "They are not going to stop playing the game of basketball over there. They are going to continue to dribble, and that ball is not going to be deflated. It's going to continue to be pumped up and they are going to keep playing."

Korean based manufacturer LG wants to get into the exclusive club as well, and with that, they've brought to market the LG Intuition for Verizon Wireless – also known abroad as the LG Optimus Vu. Sure, it boasts the "Rubberdium" stylus for the convenience of drawing or writing something, but what separates it from most of the competition, is the unique 4:3 aspect ratio of its 5" IPS LCD display. Is it peculiar? Absolutely! We're hoping it can at least exceed the standards set by its rival...

'HSM' Kids Ready for Their '3'-Some
Aren't they pretty? Just look at those fresh-scrubbed faces, with such big dreams and dollar signs in their eyes.
From sweet thing Zac Efron to self-style sex kitten Vanessa Hudgens to newly nosed Ashley Tisdale, the High School Musical: Senior Year kids were paraded out for a pre-filming press conference in a Salt Lake City high school auditorium.
Filmed entirely in Utah once again, the third installment finds the East High Wildcats at a crossroads as they prepare to go their separate ways. (High School Musical: The College Years, anyone?!)
And everyone towed the Disney Company line. No Miley-size surprises, just a High School reunion and enough juice to whet teen appetites. "Being back here with everyone, it's amazing," Vanessa said, with Zac echoing, "I couldn't imagine filming anywhere else."
All together now: Awwww! Now, go start upending your couch cushions for change for the inevitable onslaught of HSM 3 gewgaws, 'cause your kids will think they're SO much better than that old 2 crap.

JH knecht rifle?
I just picked up a .270 built on a K98 Mauser action and the barrel is stamped JH knecht Los Altos .270 Win.
I can't find any info on this guy. Has anyone heard of him or his company?
It is a real sweet looking rifle and has some real quality work done to it.
Any help ?
I have not heard of him, but I would like to see a couple of pics. I'm trying to get ideas on what to do with an abused Mauser in .308. Thanks.
I have NO idea how to post pictures to this site. If someone wants to help this old computer illiterate I will post a few as soon as I can.
Are you on a mac or windows machine?
Windows XP on a PC
You can open Internet explorer and have 2 "tabs" open. One on the forum, and the second on Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket
create an account on photobucket (no problems with viruses, so don't worry).
upload a photo to your account.
once uploaded, save it.
once it is saved, move your mouse over the picture. it will give you info. move down to the "direct link" and highlight the info in that line. then copy that info to the "clipboard" of windows. (leave photobucket open on the second tab).
Now go to the first tab (still should be on the FTF), reply to this tread.
the icons will have a place to "Insert Image", click on it and paste your clipboard.
save the reply.
It is a lot easier that explained. Good luck.
pics of rifle
I really hope this works/ First time I've used photobucket.
I was allowed to click and see the firearm. Looks like a nice piece of work. Thanks.
(Good job on photobucket)

Content marketing will replace schools as the source for education. Schools and online education companies will become content marketing for products and services.
Selling products and services will become the new business model of education.
This is more efficient and sustainable than donations, taxation, or money printing. It benefits everyone (except people charging for education of course) because education becomes free.
Why and how will this happen? There are a few factors that are creating the perfect storm…
1. Google's algorithm is constantly becoming more effective at providing searchers with the best content in search results. As a result, content marketing will continue to become higher and higher quality, until it becomes as good as a school.
2. Thanks to services like WordPress, it has become cheaper and easier to start a content marketing campaign. As a result, competition for attention has heated up. In order to stand out, good content marketers are producing higher quality content than ever before. Eventually it will need to be as quality, or more, as what people are paying for.
What does this mean for businesses, (online) education, and media/content companies?
1. Companies using content marketing should treat it like a school. The content should be as good or better than what people are paying (in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars) for. Go all in or not at all.
2. Big companies should acquire or start colleges or online education companies. Coursera would be a great acquisition for a company with products or services that serve the demographics that take Coursera courses.
3. Education and content businesses of many varieties should partner with companies to sell their products as a business model.
Internet → Software → Content
First came the internet, then came the infrastructure, in the form software like WordPress and Twitter, now we have content (in the form of tweets, blog posts, etc.). The timing is right, and there could be huge benefit to society if content marketing (selling products and services) becomes the new business model for education.

AbstractAerosol particles have important impacts on visibility, acid deposition, climate, and human health, although large uncertainties remain in quantifying their chemical composition and atmospheric transformations. A large fraction of the anthropogenic aerosol is generated from energy-related activities, and organic compounds are known to constitute a significant fraction of ambient aerosol mass. Organic aerosol can be directly emitted from combustion sources or formed through gas-phase reactions of volatile organic compounds. This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project addresses the need for improved monitoring technologies for continuous particulate mass and chemical speciation of ambient aerosols. A prototype Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor will be developed that measures ambient aerosol mass and chemical composition of non-refractory PM2.5 aerosol particles in real-time, providing quantitative measurements of particulate ammonium, nitrate, sulfate, chloride, and organics. The instrument will be designed to run autonomously for extended periods of time and will need no expensive post-processing analysis. The Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor will be a simple, robust, modestly-priced, aerosol chemical speciation instrument ideal for routine monitoring of local and regional air quality, for continuous emissions monitoring, and for process control monitoring. The Phase I project succesfully demonstrated the feasibility of the Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor. A prototype was constructed and deployed in a field campaign for intercomparison with routine environmental monitoring instruments. Progress was made addressing quantification issues. During Phase II, a commercial version of the instrument will be developed. Specific tasks include designing and constructing new hardware, optimizing the design of the inlet and detector, and developing new data anlysis tools for fast and broad dissemination of particulate mass loadings and chemical composition. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: The Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor will provide cost-effective, quantitative particulate matter mass loading and chemical composition data for determining compliance with air quality standards, and for inclusion in atmospheric climate models. The primary market for this instrument will be government agencies that conduct routine environmental monitoring programs. In addition, atmospheric research groups at universities and national laboratories will provide a substantial market. We expect that the system developed in this program will yield a significant level of direct commercial sales in the atmospheric science and environmental pollution research and development communities.

(Book 12.5 in the Pendergast series)
A Novella by Lincoln Child and Douglas Preston
With hints of voodoo and whiffs of decay, beneath a full moon and amid the heat and humidity of a New Orleans summer, the New York Times best-selling team Preston & Child (Douglas Preston and Lee Child) has painted a creepy, alternate version of the tooth fairy legend, a dark and moody tale involving a recluse living in a decrepit Creole mansion. In this chilling one-off, the writing duo has had some twisted fun with the childhood of their beloved recurring character FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast. In the New Orleans of the agent's youth, kids didn't put baby teeth under their pillow in exchange for the tooth fairy's coin. Instead, they dropped them into a copper pot on an old man's front porch during a full moon. No one wanted to find out what happened if they didn't give the spooky tooth fairy of the French Quarter "his due." All they knew was that the old man had to be appeased, according to legend. But when Pendergasts's younger brother, Diogenes, tries to pay his due with a baby tooth, Aloysius thinks his brother is being silly, and decides to intervene--to his regret. A story of brotherhood, fear, and a belief in the dark arts, Extraction has the old-timey feel of a campfire ghost story. Never has al dente pasta sounded so menacing. --Neal Thompson

So I just failed out of my first year at university. My Parents want to send me on a NOLS (nols.org) semester starting in September. Dont get me wrong, im stoked on the idea, but If i'm traveling abroad I want to surf, or at least have the option to surf, or maybe a couple days of surfing? Call me crazy but I can't see myself traveling to Mexico, Bali, or Australia, and coming home not surfing once. My parents want me to do this particular program because its "develops you as a person". They want me to find my path in life. Cause i have not a clue. My Question to you gentlemen (and ladies) does anyone know of any program similar to this that involves surfing? My parents said they were open to other options.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,

If your parent are open to other options then tell them you wanna travle and finds your one path to life .
I think its funny how parents want to help you find you path in life and if you go the way they dont want u to go they try to put you on the path that they want u on
This could be a great opportunity for you. I did one semester abroad in Costa Rica, and I really loved it.
I have done some work for a web site, studyabroad.com. Take a look at this site to look for colleges in your preferred destinations. Studyabroad.com also has some listings called Semester at Sea, where you travel to many destinations. Here is the url for the semester at sea listings:
I understand wanting to go somewhere to surf... But, make sure you pass your classes in between surf sessions!
Good luck.
PS. I didn't have too much of a clue what I wanted to study my first year, so I just started taking basic required courses in the areas of which I had interest. And, eventually it all kind of came into place what my major was going to be. So I say, don't sweat not knowing what you want to do right now.

I did NOLS-like program (outward bound) a few years back for the same reason. programs like that really dont allow you to do things on your own because you have to follow a schedule. but i was able to go mountaineering, spelunking, canyon hiking, and whitewater rafting on the colorado river. it was pretty awesome
Jun 7, 2010, 01:23 AM #5
My brother did a NOLS trip and he loved it. He didn't do anything with surfing, but it is an incredible organization. Another organization is Outward Bound, I know many people who have done that and for both NOLS and OB, not a bad word said.
Jun 7, 2010, 01:28 AM #6
im doing an outward bound trip at the end of july till august 4th as my parents want me to get my head on straight as i pushed them to the edge with school this year. but im looking forward to it since i do go camping, hkikng, whitewater rafting anyways.

take it from me bud
Here is my opinion, and I guess I should say that I've been in a NOLS- like program myself for 6 months when I was 16. Honestly if you end up doing it, I wouldn't worry about surfing. If you do get to surf, it would probably only be for 1 or 2 days, and that is only gonna scratch your itch, if you know what I'm saying. Those programs really specialize in mountain orented stuff. Basically I would pass on the Costa Rica one. There are trips to places sooo much more beautiful, and honestly I wouldn't wanna deal with the heat, humidity, and bugs in costa rica. And in case you didn't know, these things are glorified camping trip/death hikes...
On a side note. I too failed my first year in collage. I was in the same situation you were, kinda not knowing what to do, where to go, just in total limo. I found this school in Colorado called Colorado Mountain College and decided to go there. It was the best decision I've ever made. The school is great, the teachers are awsome, and all the kids that go there are really down to earth. The school is also amazingly easy, its almost a joke how simple all of my classes are. The teachers are all there to help you, and the classes are pretty small, like no more than 30 people in a class.
Plus it is located in Steamboat Springs, which is the 2nd largest ski resort in Colorado, and gets the most snow in the continental u.s. I was in the same boat, not wanting to leave the ocean, dreading not surfing. But I'll tell you what, snowboarding powder is every bit as fun, spiritual and mind blowing as surfing. In fact, I'll dare say that now, I would rather ride a deep bluebird powder day in Steamboat than score barrels in Hatteras. And you get wayyyyy more powder days there, than days of perfect barrels here on the east coast.
I really really would look into CMC. They will accept you no matter what you GPA was, they accept everyone. I mean they accepted me, and I had a GED and had failed out of community college. Like I said, I can say with confidence that it is the best choice I have ever made.

And one more thing about CMC, and Colorado in general. 2 words my man... Medical Marijuana!!!! I'm a proud and happy Medical Marijuana patient, and can't wait to return to Steamboat next year and walk into my favorite dispecnery and choose from the countless kinds top notch cannibus. There truly is nothing better than buying weed from a store. And the dispenceries in Steamboat are absolutely top notch!!!
Check out the web site for yourself... http://www.naturalchoicemmj.com/
Gets my mouth drooling just looking at the menu... P.S. That AK47 on the menu came from me. When you have your medical card you can grow 6 plants legally!!! When I left for home I gave my plants to the owner of the dispencery. Sadly I never got to taste that AK, but JJ (the owner) told me it is some top notch shizzle!!!! I hope it is till around when I get back!!! I also supplied him (actually we, 3 roomates all with medi cards) with some mango and some durban poison. Yeaaaa, its a stoners dream come true out there!!!!

well if your wondering if you have to have a medical condition... The answer is no. A Lot of dispenceries have a doctor that comes in once or twice a week. All you have to do is schedual and appoinment, and thats it. Then you pay a fee of 150 dollars to the state and thats it... Viola!!!
For me it was really easy because I've broken my wrists a lot of times from skateboarding and snowboarding. And cause I've broken them sooo many times, I have carpel tunnel, and arthritus in my wrists (I'm only 22).
But my roomate who had no medical history got his really easily. The story was kinda funny too. He went in for his apointment and when the doctor asked him what his medical condition was he was like "uhhh, none really." The doctor replied "ohhh, so your back hurts from a snowboarding injury that you never seeked medical attention for." By the time he could answer "Uhhh, yea I guess," the doctor had already filled out his form. He handed it to him and told him to have a nice day!!! It really is that easy!!! He was pretty lucky though.. Some of my friends out there have been denied because they really have no reason to have a card...
But if your really thinking about moving to a medical friendly state, I would go to the doctor here before you move, and complain about some sort of ailment. Say your knee hurts, you back hurts, anything. If something doesn't hurt, just make it up. That way when you go for your appointment to get your medical licence, you already have something on file that is fairly recent. 80% of medical cards in Colorado were for "Chronic Pain," so saying something hurts constantly is you best bet.
And sorry for kinda thread jacking ya NSsurfer. Lets not turn this into a medical marijuana thread. I was meerly trying to sway your decision further. And if anyone wants to know more about medical marijuana. Just look at the site i posted in the my first post in the thread. That website is a plethora of information on the subject.. and the menu is the best in the state!!!!!!
