Ever wonder what a rock band's Off Season would sound like? Y'know, the guys from bands that tour all year round taking some time off to jam together and make something outside of their normal routine. Cue The Company Band, a rock super group made up of Neil Fallon (Clutch), Jim Rota (Fireball Ministry), Brad Davis (Fu Manchu) and Jess Margera (CKY). Additional guitarist Dave Bone rounds out the band and together they've been releasing random slabs of rock goodness for the last few years. This time The Company Band have unleashed Pros And Cons, an EP that reminded me of the few, the proud, the ones who know how to kick out the jams.
Pros And Cons is a massively ass kicking piece of music. The opening track "House Of Capricorn" is a game changer. Rota and Bone lay into a riff that is so funky, so fluid in dripping rock sauce that your butt is forced to wiggle. Try to fight it but you can't, the riff is just too juicy to deny. Filling out the groove is the always impressive bass work from Brad Davis (who replaced my former band mate Jason Diamond) and solid drums from Jess Margera.
Sending the song completely over the top are Fallon's vocals. The lyrics have the same sense of irony and intelligence that he uses in Clutch but with a bit more humor. "House Of Capricorn" is the mission statement of a band with the name The Company Band. Fallon uses various kinds of self-congratulatory statements and egocentric bravado to make "House Of Capricorn" sound like the hardest rocking job interview ever.
Having established they're the right band for the job, it's now time for The Company Band to hit the road. That's where "Black Light Fever" comes in. From the butt wiggle to the grand road theme, "Black Light Fever" screams for scenes of the band hanging out with fans, signing autographs, sleeping on the bus, all the tour clichés that make us want to be rock stars. Sound wise the tune feels like a cross between ZZ Top's "Waitin' For The Bus" and Bob Segar's "Turn The Page". This is the kind of song Wooderson from Dazed And Confused would blast while cruising to buy Aerosmith tickets.
The Company Band odyssey continues with "Kill Screen", the most upbeat number on the record. This is a drinking tune, a riff that rides along with you and your buddies while cruising for chicks and drinking cheap beer. No rock outfit would be complete without the low-end worshipping song to get high to. "Loc Nar" really is best enjoyed through the practice of better living through chemistry. Preferably with a black light and a lava lamp. The songs' stoner groove is held together by Davis's funky bass before opening up into a louder version of itself. "El Dorado" is the move end credits song. It's slow by deliberate, taking cues from bands like Foghat and Kiss.
Pros And Cons works because it takes each band member out of their comfort zone. Rota's guitar work in Fireball Ministry is always very heavy handed and serious. I don't know if it's working alongside Dave Bone, but in The Company Band we get to hear Jim Rota relax and rock out. Brad Davis takes a break from the straight groove of Fu Manchu so he can walk around a bit and allow his bass playing to be, for lack of a better term, tougher. I'm not a fan of CKY so anything Margera does that isn't that band is a step up to me.
Let's be frank, most of the new face of rock is pretty pussy. It's all overly attractive men preening on stage and pandering to the audience in some kind of bad homage to AC/DC or Led Zeppelin. The Company Band are the exact opposite. This is fighting rock, drinking rock, tough guy who is going to die on the road rock. Pros And Cons is the kind of album that would make Bon Scott smile and Grand Funk Railroad proud. The Company Band's relentless pursuit of boogie down swing is a dying art form, but when it all goes up in flames at least we'll have the tunes man!

Whether you are buying a new car or fitting a system in your old car, there are some things you should know and some you should not overlook. From the days of a simple 'cassette player', we have come a long way and there are myriad options available that can turn your vehicle into the ultimate entertainment machine on wheels. The good thing, of course, is that there are no dearth of choices and the consumer is king.
Factory–fitted vs new fitting
Most new cars today offer a factory-fitted music system but these may not always be to your liking or the best available. To cut costs, these are sometimes of lower quality and it would be wise if you decided to get your own receiver and player.
Speakers in a car audio system are just as important as the receiver and player, and many people scrimp and scrounge when it comes to this. There are different types of speakers available and depending on how big your budget is and how pure you want the sound quality to be, you can go that extra mile or two and splurge! Factory-fitted speakers are not always the best either and are often the most basic ones as far as specifications go.
Types of speakers
The most common type of speakers available are coaxial which are two or three-way ones built into the same frame. These are the cheapest available and cost approximately Rs2,500 for a set of two. For those who want to save some money but want functionality, these can replace separate tweeters and woofers (not in quality but functionality).
For the audiophile, sound purity is crucial and separate tweeters and woofers are strongly recommended for those who want clarity and can afford it. The installation of these, however, takes more precision, so make sure you get it done professionally. Further refinement of the sound is possible by using horns, which are normally mounted under the dashboard and are beneficial at directing sound.
The audio quality can be further improved by adding midbases and subwoofers. For subwoofers, remember that it is a precision job and it is important to have the right size of boxes as housing and the right amplifier to match.
Head units
Choices abound in this day and age and when most major manufacturers' products are available easily and the temptations are tremendous. Indash CD players, 2-DIN players, DVD players with screens… the choices are never ending. And yes, there is also the good old cassette player!
As with almost all car entertainment accessories, budget is what normally drives the player you buy and an entry–level CD player with FM receiver is available at Rs5,000 onwards from major manufacturers. Pioneer, JVC and Kenwood are the most popular ones in India in this price range while the Blaupunkt and Sony Xplod series costs a little more (Rs7,000 onwards).
One of the more popular players in India is the Pioneer DEH-P2900MP with an in-dash (where the CD is loaded through the dashboard panel) CD player that also plays back MP3 and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files. As with some other players, the P2900 is also 'iPod ready' and you need not play back a CD if you have your entire collection on your iPod. Just plug it in and you're good to go.
The basic set–up would also include two coaxial speakers in the back and two smaller speakers in the front for acceptable sound quality. If you are not an audiophile and are okay with 'good enough' sound quality, this is the best buy option and will set you back by about Rs9,000 (including speakers).
More options from Sony Xplod include the CDX-S22S in-dash single CD player that plays back CDs, MP3s, WMA files in addition to Sony's own ATRAC format. For those who are conscious about sound quality, this system can allow four-channel independent equalizer control to adjust the original frequency response to ideal frequency response of both front and rear speakers.
Some of the higher–end offerings from various manufacturers today also offer memory-card reading capability whereby you can just put in your memory card and play back music as if it were a CD. Bluetooth capability means that you can stream music from a portable player or a device like your phone. JVC's KD-BT1 is a good option for a receiver with built-in Bluetooth.
If you have deep pockets, a penchant for the good things and love your music, the P7800MP from Pioneer is a must checkout. This full-colour display receiver includes CD/MP3/WMA/WAV/iTunes AAC Receiver and is also Satellite Radio ready. The Satellite Radio part may not be of relevance to Indian buyers, but the all-colour display is a new offering and worth checking out. But the price tag it comes at (approx Rs16,000) may just be the biggest deterrent.
Long-drive entertainment
Fitting a DVD player in your car can be a handy diversion when travelling long distances or when travelling with kids. The best way of staving off difficult-to-answer questions such as, "Are we there yet?" is to keep the kids occupied through the drive! The options are aplenty and the costs obviously vary with your choice of equipment.
For smaller cars, the best choice is to go for headrest– mounted display. These are the ones that are fitted into the back of the front seat's headrest and connected to the player in the dashboard. There are a few sizes available, but the best choice for ease of viewing is a 16cm LCD monitor. Sony's XVM-B62 retails for approximately Rs10,000 and this does not include the cost of the receiver and speakers.
There is no limit to what you can put into your car. You could also opt for a touchscreen display console that will power your entertainment system, but be warned, that on Indian roads, this can be a major distraction! And, at approximately Rs45,000–50,000 for this device, the need may not justify the expense.
In-car visual entertainment can be a huge distraction for the driver. It's best to keep the movies out of range of the driver's vision. So the best option is to have the whole control panel for the system at your fingertips.
Sony offers a fabulous range of overhead swivel monitors and consoles that let you keep all the controls in your hands. With a 17.8cm Overhead TFT Active Matrix Monitor and a 120-degree swivel, the XVM-R70 is the perfect companion for a long drive. And just because it's fitted in your car doesn't mean that it should be limited on features. It includes four display modes; full, normal, zoom and wide zoom with a 16:9 aspect ratio. A system like this is best fitted in bigger cars like SUVs since viewing it from too close–up will affect the picture quality. With a price tag of approx Rs33,000, this isn't exactly everybody's cup of tea, but it's an extremely good option.
Setting it up
Fixing an in-car video system is an expert's job but here are some pointers that will help you in assembling the most appropriate set and ensuring that the job has been done well.
If you are on a tight budget and need this just to keep the kids occupied, go for one of the all-in-one units that cost much less than a fullblown home theatre set-up.
Ensure that your player has a single video source that can run several screens, usually liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). The screens can pop out of the dashboard (avoidable), drop down from the car's ceiling or mount in headrests. Component systems use your vehicle's stereo and pipe sound directly to headphones for quiet viewing. Most high-end retailers will stock these units.
Make sure any component system is expandable, so you can add more or different screens and input devices in the future. So if you get a video iPod at a later date, you could just plug it in and forget about carrying DVDs.
Make sure your vehicle's electrical system can handle the demands of a mobile entertainment system. Don't put more load on the battery than it is equipped to take. This is best judged by a professional and it would be prudent to follow his advice.
If you have an SUV or a large vehicle, you could put in a back-up camera into the mobile video set-up for easy reversing of the car—just an additional function that the screens allow you to use.
The last word?
There's no easy answer to that question and it's something completely dictated by your tastes and budget. As mentioned, manufacturers like Blaupunkt and Sony cost a little more than say Pioneer and JVC. But also be warned that some of the units and accessories you buy may be from the grey market. Find out before you make your purchase because it will affect the aftersales service and support.
As the next generation of players start rolling out, these would include voice commands and a slew of other features. One such initiative has already rolled out, though in the US. Ford Sync, the latest collaboration between the software giant and the auto behemoth uses Microsoft's Auto software and allows drivers to dial their cellphone and have their text messages read to them through voice commands. Drivers will also be able to use voice commands or steering-wheel buttons to play music stored on a portable device including iPod and Zune as well as other MP3 players and even USB flash drives.
For India, though, this system is still a long way away and even in the US it will launch only later this year.
Finally, we cannot emphasize enough the fact that this is ultimately very budget-oriented and it is impossible in an article of this nature to include all the systems available in the market today. This aims to give you an idea of what's available and perhaps help you explore the various possibilities of converting your car into an entertainment-ready machine. Just make sure you go home once in a while!

Prostate Cancer in a Man With Multiple Previous Cancers
Prostate Cancer in a Man With Multiple Previous Cancers
ABSTRACT: Multidisciplinary Consultations on Challenging Cases The University of Colorado Health Sciences Center holds weekly second opinion conferences focusing on cancer cases that represent most major cancer sites. Patients seen for second opinions are evaluated by an oncologist. Their history, pathology, and radiographs are reviewed during the multidisciplinary conference, and then specific recommendations are made. These cases are usually challenging, and these conferences provide an outstanding educational opportunity for staff, fellows, and residents in training. The second opinion conferences include actual cases from genitourinary, lung, melanoma, breast, neurosurgery, and medical oncology. On an occasional basis, ONCOLOGY will publish the more interesting cases discussions and the resultant recommendations. We would appreciate your feedback; please contact us at email@example.com. E. David Crawford, MD, and Al Barqawi, MD, Guest Editors University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and University of Colorado Cancer Center Denver, Colorado
The patient is a 67-year-old male with mild obstructive symptoms and an American Urology Association symptom score of 8.[1] He was noted to have a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 3.2 ng/mL. Because this represented a significant increase in his PSA velocity (rate of change over time), he proceeded to have a biopsy, which was positive for prostate cancer. He has no other complaints and visits us for an opinion on the treatment of his prostate cancer.
History, Physical Exam, and Laboratory Findings
Dr. L. Michael Glodé: The patient's past medical history is remarkable for a previous neoplasm. Ten years ago, he was diagnosed with a pituitary adenoma that was treated with radiation therapy. Eight years ago, he underwent a right nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma. Three years ago, he developed a Hürthle cell adenoma and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, treated with a near-total thyroidectomy. He is also being treated for hypertension and hyperlipidemia. Of note, he has a positive family history of cancer, with reported renal cell carcinoma in his father, brain cancer in his sister, and testis cancer in two of his nephews.
A physical exam reveals the patient's blood pressure is 131/79 mm Hg, heart rate is 66/min, respiratory rate is 16/min, temperature is 97.5°F. He is in no acute distress. Lungs are clear to auscultation. Abdomen is soft, nontender, without organomegaly. There is no lymphadenopathy. His skin exam is normal. Rectal exam reveals a soft, approximately 20-g prostate, without nodularity.
Laboratory findings include the following: PSA = 3.2 ng/mL, testosterone = 195 ng/dL (institutional normal range: 122-534 ng/dL), sodium = 141 mmol/L, potassium = 3.7 mmol/L, creatinine = 1.9 mg/dL, bilirubin (total) = 0.7 mg/dL, thyroid-stimulating hormone = 0.08 µIU/dL, free T4 = 0.99 ng/dL, white blood cell count = 6.1 × 109/L, hemoglobin = 14.3 g/dL, and platelet count = 187 × 109/L.
Dr. Glodé: Drs. Lucia and La Rosa, would you please review the patient's prostate biopsy findings?
Dr. Scott Lucia: Pathologic slides from an outside hospital, with corresponding identification for this patient, were reviewed. The histologic grade of prostate cancer, or Gleason score, is determined by assigning a pathologic grade to the two most prevalent patterns noted in the cancer tissue, with the larger numbers representing more undifferentiated tumors. These two scores are added together for a maximum possible score of 10. In this case, two biopsy regions demonstrated the presence of cancer. The right midsection reveals adenocarcinoma of the prostate, Gleason 3+3=6, involving 5% to 10% of two cores. The right base demonstrates prostatic adenocarcinoma, Gleason 3+4=7, involving 20% of each of two cores (Figure 1).

Badminton sensation Jwala Gutta is miffed with the indecent comments passed by some of the fans during her recent match in the Indian Badminton League at the Sree Kanteerava Indoor Stadium on Saturday.
Jwala Gutta who is playing for Delhi Smashers in the league have been continuing her winning run but the lewd comments from fans have been testing her patience.
Known to be a fighter since childhood, Jwala would never hesitate to fight against any ill-treatment and in the process earned her the image of most controversial female sportsperson in India. She always speaks out her heart and this nature has often helped her to make headlines for all the wrong reasons.

New York (AP) - A private research group says its gauge of future economic activity rose in December, suggesting the economy will strengthen over the next few months.
The Conference Board says its index of leading economic indicators rose 1 percent last month after a 1.1 percent increase in November. Those are the biggest increases since March, when the index jumped 1.4 percent.
Economists polled by FactSet had expected a lower reading of 0.6 percent for December.

CareFusion Corporation (CFN) posted a robust 43.6% rise adjusted earnings per share to 79 cents for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 ended Jun 30 from 55 cents in the year-ago quarter. With this, earnings per share steered past the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6 cents. Adjusted net earnings upped 35.5% to $164 million from $121 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013.
For full year 2014, CareFusion's adjusted earnings per share rose 11.3% to $2.36 from $2.12 a year ago and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 5 cents. Adjusted net earnings escalated 5.9% to $503 million from $475 million in fiscal 2013.
Carefusion Corporation - Earnings Surprise | FindTheBest
Revenues in the quarter rose 24.3% (both in reported and constant currency) to $1,122 million, exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1,043 million, thanks to the double-digit growth in revenues in both the company's reportable segments. Revenues for the fiscal year rose 8.2% to $3,842 million.
Expenses and Margins
Adjusted gross profit swelled 17.8% to $550 million but adjusted gross margin fell 270 basis points (bps) to 49.0% in the quarter from 51.7% in the fiscal 2013-fourth quarter. The fall in gross margin is attributable to lower margin acquisitions of Vital Signs and Sendal, additional resources deployed for installing the Pyxis ES platform and product mix due to higher than expected Infusion capital placements.
Adjusted operating expenses rose 16.9% to $325 million due to higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses on the back of acquired SG&A related to Vital Signs and incentive compensation plan.
Adjusted operating earnings went up 20.1% to $227 million from $189 million but adjusted operating margin decreased 70 bps to 20.2% due to Infusion capital revenue mix, additional installation resources for product line transition in dispensing and the incentive compensation plan.
For the full fiscal year, adjusted gross profit inched up 3.8% to $1,921 million while adjusted gross margin went down 210 bps to 50.0%. Adjusted operating earnings rose marginally by about 1% to $746 million but adjusted operating margin fell 140 bps to 19.4%.
Segment Results
Revenues from Medical Systems escalated 20.3% to $712 million due to solid Infusion business sales (up 40% growth over the prior year) and strong sales Dispensing and Respiratory businesses (up 7% and 6% percent, respectively). Adjusted segment earnings rose 16.2% to $158 million driven by record quarter for Infusion business and increased installations from Dispensing.
For the fiscal year, revenues from the segment edged up 2.8% to $2,394 million. Adjusted segment earnings fell 6.0% to $490 million due to longer than expected installation cycles in the Dispensing business during the first half of the year and product revenue mix.
Revenues from Procedural Solutions rose 31.8% $410 million, driven by contributions from the Vital Signs and Sendal acquisitions, as well as continued growth from clinically differentiated products in specialty disposables, and PleurX drainage products and the ChloraPrep and MaxPlus brands within Infection Prevention business line. Adjusted segment earnings grew 30.2% to $69 million driven by organic growth across all product lines and strong performance from the acquired Vital Signs and Sendal businesses.
Revenues from the segment grew 18.6% to $1,448 million for the year led by growth across all business lines and contributions from the Vital Signs acquisition. Adjusted segment earnings grew 17.4% to $256 million.
Share Repurchase
CareFusion's board of directors approved a new two-year, $750 million share repurchase program on top of its previous $750 million program announced in the fiscal third quarter. The new program will be initiated when the previous repurchase authorization is completed. In fiscal 2014, CareFusion repurchased 14.6 million shares for roughly $577 million.
Financial Position
CareFusion had cash and cash equivalents of $2,303 million as of Jun 30, 2014, up 28.1% from $1,798 million as of Jun 30, 2013. Total debt increased 69.0% to $2,444 million as of Jun 30, 2014 compared with $1,446 million as of Jun 30, 2013. Debt-to-capitalization ratio increased 10 percentage points to 31.2% from 21.2% as of Jun 30, 2013.
In fiscal 2014, cash flow from operating activities rose 11.7% to $685 million from $613 million in fiscal 2013. Capital expenditure (net) inched up 4.8% to $88 million from $84 million in fiscal 2013.
Fiscal 2015 and 3-Year Guidance
For fiscal 2015, CareFusion expects revenues to grow between 5 and 7% over fiscal 2014 on a constant currency basis. The company also expects adjusted earnings in the range of $2.60 to $2.75 per share. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.69 lies within the guided range.
CareFusion also provided three-year guidance till fiscal 2017. The company expects mid-single-digit revenue growth, adjusted operating margins of greater than 23%, and a compound annual growth rate of 10–12% for adjusted earnings per share for the period. CareFusion also plans to invest at least 50% of its free cash flow through tuck-in acquisitions and share repurchases during the period.
Our Take
We appreciate CareFusion's impressive rise in fiscal fourth quarter earnings and the estimate beats at both the earnings and revenue fronts. We also praise the company's capability to provide a long-term outlook, which clearly indicates its confidence in the businesses.
However, we note that CareFusion sees margin compression due to the unfavorable product mix, lower margin acquisitions of Vital Signs and Sendal and the transition of product line to the Pyxis ES platform.
Currently, CareFusion retains a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Some better-ranked stocks in the medical products industry include OraSure Technologies, Inc. (OSUR), Medtronic, Inc. (MDT), and Symmetry Medical, Inc. (SMA). OraSure Technologies sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), while both Medtronic and Symmetry Medical retain a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

The purchase of a dasher board system is an investment in the future. Whether you have a municipal or private facility, you probably have a vested interest in maintaining your dasher board investment to ensure problem free use, safety and reliability for 20 to 30 years.
Dasher boards also impact the overall image of your facility. Clean boards give customers a lasting and positive impression. Starting with newly installed boards, begin the maintenance process by sealing the clean poly facing. This can be done with a sealer or wax that is applied with a paint roller. This does not stop marks or dirt from forming on the facing surface but does reduce time and labor for subsequent cleanings. Two light coats of a sealer applied to new boards or freshly cleaned boards will pay for itself in one cleaning process, due to time and materials saved.
Safety of skaters and spectators is one of an arena operator's primary responsibilities. Performing proper, regular inspections and maintenance to the dasher board system will help assure that both spectators and participants have a safe and enjoyable experience.
Puck-Off Dasher Board Puck Remover, a new multi-purpose cleaning solution for use on Acrylic, Plastic, Vinyl, Lexan Glass, Fiberglass, Dasher Boards and so much more.
This power gripper is expandable to meet a variety of glass handling needs. Interchangeable lift frames provides manual 180 degree rotation and 90 degree tilt. On-board DCC power permits ccord-free use with a power hoist. AC powered units are also available.
This sturdy 8" vacuum suction cups handle tempered glass or acrylic shields. Just a few quick pumps gives a rock-solid hold on any smooth nonporous material.
Simplify dasher storage with Becker Arena Product's Panel Storage Cart. Large polyethylene bed accommodates 6000 lbs. Heavy-duty steel uprights and frame construction with push bar and easy-rolling casters. Each cart can hold 13-14 panels.
Dasher Board Cleaning Solutions includes an all-purpose cleaner, an abrasive for the really tough jobs and a sealer to make the job easier the next time.
Starting at: $21.99
Exceed Board Sealer, if applied to the dasher board facing it will make the cleaning process easier the next time around. Apply two light coats to your new boards or immediately after cleaning your existing boards. (1 gallon container).
Citrusolve is a general purpose cleaner for boards and all around the arena. (1 gallon container).
Blue Dash is a high abrasive dasher board cleaner for those really tough jobs. (1 gallon container).

SEAT community safety program for P to 12
Young people are most at risk of a traumatic spinal cord injury, with most admissions to Queensland's Spinal Injuries Unit aged between 16 and 25 years (2003-2013 average).
That's why we've spent 28 years developing the SEAT program to raise awareness in young people of how they can stay safe, for life.
Volunteer SEAT presenters all have a spinal cord injury, use a wheelchair and:
- Inform students of risk factors for spinal cord injury
- Deliver age appropriate safety messages for all grades from Prep to 12
- Fit in with your school's preferred timing (wherever possible)
- Cover subjects including
- Road safety
- Water safety
- Peer pressure
- How the spine and spinal cord work
- Disability awareness
- Playing sport safely and
- Making good choices while out with friends
Our program content aligns with the national curriculum's Health and Physical Education learning area and come with free teacher resources.
For primary schools
There are three multi-media programs used for a primary school audience. Click on each heading below for more information about these programs.
Years Prep-3: Play by the rules
The students learn how to decide which people and things make environments and activities safe. They are also encouraged to think about and demonstrate ways to promote personal safety and the safety of others.
Animated characters Ella and Jack lead the way with some entertaining games and activities. The Prep-1 variation of the program includes a game of 'Simon Says', which helps to explain the function of the spine and spinal cord. Years 2-3 play a safety-themed word game to reinforce key messages.
Years 4-5: Do the right thing
The Year 4 and 5 students learn how to identify hazardous situations and demonstrate actions to respond to unsafe and emergency situations. They are provided with information about how the brain and spine work together; the difference between paraplegia and quadriplegia is explained; and messages about how to stay safe when riding a bicycle or swimming are shared.
A fun, interactive game "Ring the Harm Alarm" helps to reinforce safety messages.
Year 6: Making smart choices
Videos featuring real life high risk scenarios for this age group are shown and discussed, highlighting the dangers of peer pressure as well as key safety messages including the importance of wearing a helmet, checking the water before jumping in and seatbelts to name a few.
This program also gives insight into how people with paraplegia or quadriplegia do everyday things. Students watch and discuss a series of videos showing how people who use a wheelchair drive a car, go swimming, exercise and much more.
Teacher resources are available here.
For secondary schools
The SEAT program for a secondary school audience covers:
- the anatomy and physiology of the spine
- the effects of a spinal cord injury
- the difference between paraplegia and quadriplegia
- risk factors for spinal cord and other traumatic injuries
- safety messages aimed at preventing spinal cord and other serious injuries
- lifestyle challenges of people with a spinal cord injury
- the positive inclusion of people with a disability into the community
Teacher resources are available here.
Program sponsors
SEAT has joined the drive to save lives! SEAT South Queensland is supported by the Department of Transport and Main Roads via a Community Road Safety Grant. Almost half of all traumatic spinal cord injuries are caused by road trauma so road safety is an integral part of what we do.
The Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services is a long-time supporter of the SEAT program, recognising that we raise awareness of disability, helping to create the inclusive communities of the future.
The Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) is another long-time and valued sponsor of the SEAT program. In the past, MAIC has also donated funds for vital equipment and to produce Community Service Announcements dedicated to injury prevention.

Six and a half people
Six people are madly in love with you, and one person is in half love with you, but only because they haven't actually met you yet (you're so captivating that even over the internet their half-love bloomed).
Ohh Ladieshh man. (⌐■_■) (⌐■_■) (⌐■_■)11|00|0

Thats why I'm so lonely xd
You got: Two people
One of them is someone you'd expect — your significant other, most likely, or that person who walked up to you yesterday and was like, "Hey, I'm in love with you." But the second one? Therein lies the mystery. Good luck never sleeping again until you figure it out.11|00|0

The effect of glycogen depletion on responses of interleukin-1beta, interleukin-6, and interleukin-10 to maximal exercise

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of glycogen stores on the maximal responses of IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-10 to a discontinuous, progressive cycle ergometry test. Eight trained cyclists completed two progressive maximal cycle ergometry tests (5 min stages with 5 min recovery), one normally fed and one following glycogen-depletion (2-h at 60-65% VO2max). Percent changes in circulating IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-10 were measured during exercise and recovery and peak changes were compared. IL-6 showed a trend towards significant interaction effect of exercise time and trial condition (p = 0.054) in both trials, but there were no significant differences among percent changes in IL-1beta or IL-10. Glycogen-reduction appeared to cause all cytokines to peak earlier, but the trend was not significant.

It was foggy. She stood there, frustrated with herself. She had no idea where she was. She must have taken a wrong turn somewhere back there because she thought she was heading back to the house but it seemed to be eluding her. The fog was so dense, she couldn't see much around her. Alone and getting lost in a thick blanket of fog was not her idea of how to spend a pleasant Sunday morning. What was she going to do? Well, there wasn't much she could do except wait until the fog dissipated. How long that would take, she had no clue. It seemed so strange to see such thick fog in the middle of summer. This is England, she reminded herself. Anything is possible when it came to the weather. Sighing, she leaned against the tree and waited.
Earlier this morning when she had looked out of the window there wasn't any sign of fog or she wouldn't have ventured outside. Instead, she would have slept in a little longer or gone to the library to read one of those interesting books she found there. Everything about Pemberton Place was interesting. This was her second week at the magnificent, Gothic mansion rising above the beautiful, sprawling grounds that seemed to stretch for miles and miles. She was here at her friend's invitation.
Maggie grew up and lived here most of her life before she moved to London where she attended university. It was at university that they met and became fast friends. She usually spent the summer in London with family but this time Maggie insisted that she accompany her to Pemberton. Excited and nervous at the same time, she agreed to go. It was a nice change to spend the summer with her friend and her family.
Pemberton was everything she had imagined and more. Maggie had told her so much about it that she felt as if she knew the place. It was massive and it reminded her of somewhere like Pemberley, Thorncliff or Manderly. She couldn't imagine living there–it struck her more as a tourist attraction than a private home. And there were lots of servants. She didn't know how Maggie could remember all of their names. And so many rooms. One could easily get lost. And she did a couple of times.
She smiled as she remembered going into the library when she had meant to go to the drawing-room. Instead of facing a huge fireplace with crackling fire licking the logs she faced an enormous bookcase filled with books. Forgetting her dilemma at the moment, she walked over to the shelves of books, her eyes traveling over the thick volumes, textbooks, Encyclopedias and literature. Her eyes spotted a collection of writings by Jane Austen. She was about to pull it out when she became aware that someone else was in the room. She turned.
It was Rupert, Maggie's brother. She had heard a lot about him but nothing prepared her for their first meeting.
First of all, he didn't look too pleased to see her there in the library. She had been about to go over to him, extend her hand in greeting but the scowl on his face kept her immobile. "I don't believe I know you," he said, quickly closing the distance between them. He stopped a short distance from her, his green eyes searching her face, his expression quizzical.
For a moment she was distracted by his looks. Tall, swarthy, raven dark hair with a few strands falling across his forehead. He was incredibly handsome. He was dressed casually in a white shirt and grey slacks. "I'm Darcy, Maggie's friend from university." She held out her hand and it was clasped in a firm grip. "It's good to meet you, Rupert. Maggie has told me so much about you."
He released her hand but his eyes stayed on her face. "She did mention that she was bringing a friend to spend the summer holidays here at Pemberton."
She glanced around the room. "You have a very fine library here," she commented. "I was on my way to the drawing-room but ended up here instead. I'm glad I did. I was looking at the books when you came in. I saw several that I would like to read. I hope you don't mind me being here."
He turned away then. "You are free to come in here whenever you want," he said. "However, this is the time when I usually come here to catch up on my reading and I like to be alone. To get to the drawing-room, just turn right and it's at the end of the hallway." He went over to one of the book shelves and took down a large book and walking over to the armchair, he sat down. He opened the book, signalling that their conversation was over. She turned and walked out of the room, thinking to herself that he and Maggie were as different as night and day.
That was several weeks ago. Since then, they hadn't interacted much and when they did it seemed stilted. She remembered one afternoon on the grounds when she was taking photos. As she stood among the shrubs, Maggie took a photo of her friend. When they walking back to the house, they ran into Rupert who was on his way out. Maggie showed him the photo she had just taken of Darcy. "Lovely photo, isn't it?" she remarked. Darcy was wearing the pale green lace top and a navy blue capri.
He looked at it and then he looked at Darcy. "Yes, it is." He agreed. He gave the camera back to Maggie and abruptly excused himself. Darcy felt embarrassed about the whole thing. It was obvious that Maggie was trying to set her up with her brother but it was obvious to Darcy that he wasn't interested. It seemed like his admission that she looked lovely in the photo was rather forced.
"I don't think your brother likes me," she remarked to Maggie one day when they were strolling in the garden.
Maggie looked at her, surprised. "Really?" she exclaimed. "I rather thought he did. Why do you think otherwise?"
She was sorry she mentioned it. Shrugging, she said, "It's just the feeling I get. I could be wrong."
She changed the topic. And no more was said about it. She hoped that Maggie wouldn't say anything to Rupert. She had tried not to let his animosity toward her get the better of her but it really bothered her. Why didn't he like her? What had she done to make him resent her so? Even now as she thought about it, sadness filled her.
As a Christian, she always tried to get along with people, no matter how difficult. It wasn't always possible. Yet, it never troubled her as much as this did. If she were honest with herself, she would admit that the thought of Rupert not liking her crushed her because she liked him. She liked him very much–in fact, she loved him. Unrequited love. She never imagined it would happen to her.
The sound of a twig snapping startled her and she turned in the direction of the sound. The fog was clearing and she saw Rupert approaching her. She moved away from the tree and turned to face him. In a few quick strides he was standing in front her. His face was flushed and his eyes stormy as they searched her face. "You have been gone so long that you have everyone in the house worried about you," he informed her in a cold, clipped voice. "Maggie begged me to come and look for you. Why didn't you come back to the house once you saw how foggy it was?"
With him standing so close, it was hard to concentrate. She took a step back. "It wasn't that bad when I came outside and I thought it would clear up," she said. "I walked to stretch my legs. I went farther than I planned to and I got lost. I decided that I would wait here until the fog cleared up. I'm sorry you had to come and look for me."
He ran his fingers through his hair. "Well, I'm relieved that you are all right," he conceded, somewhat reluctantly. "Shall we go back to the house now? I'm tired. I was in bed when Maggie came and asked me to come and look for you." He turned away.
"Why don't you like me?" she had to know. It was eating her up inside.
That stopped him in his tracks and he swung back to face her. "You think I don't like you?" he looked incredulous.
"Yes. You are cold towards me and you barely say anything to me or acknowledge me when we are in the same room."
He was staring at her now, his expression one she had never seen before. "You have no idea," he muttered. "Do you know that I didn't enjoy the London Symphony Orchestra last night because I couldn't stop thinking about you? You filled my mind. Driving back here from London was worst. I had the radio on but I didn't hear it. Thoughts of you drown out the music. When I got in it was late and even then, I couldn't sleep because it was hot and muggy. I went for a walk and when I got back it was after one. It took a while to fall asleep. So, I'm tired now because of lack of sleep and from fighting my feelings for you."
She stared at him, aghast. "You have feelings for me?" She felt as if this were a strange dream and that at any minute she would wake up and find herself either in bed or in the library in one chairs where she had fallen asleep over a book she was reading. Rupert couldn't be here, standing in front of her and telling her that he had feelings for her.
He moved closer to where she was standing. "Darcy, I have been pushing you away and avoiding you because of the feelings you stirred in me. Feelings I have never experienced before and that scared me. I didn't want to deal with them or with you. Coming out here just now and finding you when I was worried that you had somehow wandered off the grounds and gotten lost, brought those feelings to the surface. I wanted to take you in my arms and hold you tightly, because I was relieved to find you here still on the premises."
Her heart thudding, she moved closer. "I can do with a hug," she said.
In a matter of seconds he had closed the distance between them and she was wrapped in a tight embrace. "I've been such a fool," he murmured. "Can you ever forgive me?"
"Yes, Rupert, yes." She closed her eyes, basking in his embrace and thankful that she had been wrong about his feelings for her.
He drew back and their eyes locked for a moment before he lowered his head and kissed her.
"Let's go back before they send a search party out for us," he suggested softly when he drew back moments later.
She nodded and smiled when he reached out and took her hand, his fingers closing around hers. They walked back to the house, the fog had lifted. Everything was clear now.

Hormann DF98 N80 Range
Hormann Up & Over European Garage Door Range
The Hormann European range of N80 and DF98 metric sized steel up and over garage doors really defines what Hormann have always offered since 1935 - 'Quality without Compromise'
This unique range of steel and timber one piece up and over garage doors offer a vast range of styles and an enormous range of standard and made to order sizes all of the highest construction methods and quality.
The European N80 and DF98 range offers sizes up to 5000mm wide and also 2750mm in height on most models.
The more popular UK series 2000 Hormann range of doors in steel, GRP and timber, only caters for doors up to 4267mm wide as well as standard heights but does however, offer more UK friendly sizes for replacement doors.
What Do I Get For My Money?
The entire range of doors use fully retractable operating gears as standard and are only ever supplied with a factory fitted box section with a galvanised steel sub frame for direct fixing to the structural opening.
The door panel chassis is constructed from a galvanised steel box sections, welded at the corners with reinforcement struts only visible internally. Unlike the Garador range of doors where the corners are button locked, these doors offer the ultimate in strength and durability which then gives real security benefits against attempted forced entry.
High quality nylon rollers and over-sized tracks, combined with multiple springs either side to give it a very smooth, precise operation with 2 point locking using self-engaging adjustable rotary catches (3 point locking available as an upgrade).
The 'Designer door range' styles are supplied without a handle or locking and this function is performed by the remote control electric operator, ordered separately.
All N80 and DF98 garage doors are ready to be fitted with any of the superb Hormann range of high quality electric boom type operators, specified dependent upon the size and usage of the door.
Glazing options are available on most of the door designs in steel and timber in a variety of sizes and designs.
The TOP range of entrance doors from Hormann have several designs that have been matched exactly to the timber designer doors in the N80 range.
The N80 and DF98 range of garage doors has more special options than any other range available and these include:
Any RAL colour paint finish as well as anthracite CH703 option
Range of standard RAL colours to choose from - 15 in total
Silk-matt surface colour finish for timber doors. 3 layer paint coat in 6 standard colours
Retrofit fascia panels for covering damaged brickwork edges in colours to match the door panel and frame
Ventilation grilles for style 914 only
Retrofit insulation boards (N80 only) for on-site installation giving excellent insulation to the door panel
Hormatherm insulation polystyrene boards with plaster surface- factory fitted for certain styles only
DammTec sound absorbing coating for steel doors reducing the noise of the door panel in operation to a minimum
Bottom rubber seal (N80 only)
Wicket door insets for certain designs offering pedestrian access without opening the whole door
All the Hormann N80 and DF98 garage doors are manufactured in Germany so you can never have one straight from stock but if you require a garage door made with just that little bit more attention to detail and you don't mind waiting then this range is well worth a look at.
N80 Up & Over Door Designs
Style 914
Metric Steel Range
The galvanized steel door leaves are protected against corrosion and the adverse effects of the environment right into the cut edges. Garage doors and side doors are available as standard in competitively-priced Traffic White and in 15 equally-priced preferred colours as well as around 200 colours from the RAL colour chart.
These are the definitive steel up and over door in every way possible right down to the locking, the springs, the weather strips and the high quality paint finish.
Metric Timber Range
All the styles (except style 936 basic) are supplied as standard with an exclusive surface-mounted wood cladding on the door leaf and frame. On request, the steel sub frame can also be supplied without wood cladding.
Softline design because it looks so much better! That's why all the timber boards (120 x 14 mm) are rounded. And that lends the various timber designs their appealing aesthetics (not the design 936 basic).
Designer Range
With Matching Entrance Doors
The Designer Range constructed entirely from timber with a range of matching aluminium front entrance doors to achieve that accurate complete look with an intimate level of attention to detail.
The highest level of quality is put into the finishing of these garage doors and entrance doors as well as the operating mechanism to ensure the very smoothest mechanics and locking.
The garage door leaves comprise a highly rigid multi-layer timber infill which is finished with a triple silky matt coating in Pure White producing a superb surface finish of the highest quality.
With Hörmann the frame surround is already primed with white polyester powder-coating. There is a slight difference in colour and degree of lustre between the garage doors and the entrance doors on account of the different materials used.
The very special TOP range of entrance doors from Hormann have several designs that have been matched exactly to the timber 'designer' doors in the N80 range.
If up until now the front entrance door was your home's sole "visiting card" you can now afford your garage door the very same status and co-ordinate colours and designs with your home.
Be inspired by the beautiful, bold designs and the hundreds of options available to you.

Unit 1 Building Block 1:
The Geography of the United States
Big Idea:
- Economic, social, and political patterns are influenced by geographical factors.
- Where people live is shaped by economic, social, political, and environmental factors.
Building Block Overview:
As students identify physical features of the United States, they will also be labeling and using maps that will be utilized in future lessons. This building block establishes the Interactive Student Notebook as a tool for continuous student use and spiraled review throughout the year.
Student Outcomes:
- I can identify physical features of the United States.
- I can communicate effectively using written, oral, and visual formats.
- I can organize and interpret information in timelines, visuals, and maps.
The Interactive Student Notebook
1. Use any composition notebook.
2. Decorate the cover using cut out pictures, photos, duck tape, contact paper, or butcher paper.
**I like to use butcher paper from the large rolls in the teacher's lounge. I teach the kids to wrap it like a present and will spend 15 minutes showing them how to do this. Then they decorate the cover. These will usually last most of the year, and it's no additional cost to the teacher.
3. Page 1 - Meet the Historian
**I use this page to allow the students to write a paragraph about themselves and to tell what they enjoy about Social Studies.
4. Page 2 and 3 - Table of Contents
**I have the students number their pages along with me so they are all the same. That way, when I take a notebook quiz to check accuracy of their notebooks, I know we are all on the same page. It also helps to have the same pages so that when students are absent, they know which pages they need to complete.
**Notebook Check example: I will give a 10 question quiz on the accuracy of their notebooks. For an example: What is the title of the map on page 4? Using the map on page 4, which Ocean is located west of the United States?
5. Page 4 - Parent Signature Page
**I use this page for the parents to sign after the students have showed their parents the pages they've completed. They usually get some sort of small reward for getting their parent signatures.
Geography of the U.S.
1. Download the Skitch Touch free app onto your devices.
2. Make a copy of maps 1A and 1D out of the Interactive Student Notebook, one for each table or group of students. Use this app to take a picture of maps 1A and 1D, then label the maps using the corresponding pages in the red SSA student textbooks.
3. Print completed maps and glue into ISN and save a copy on the devices.
4. Visit the following online websites for more practice.
5. SSA Lesson Guide page 7 Reading Further: Where Geography Meets History
Read and discuss with the students, red student textbook pages 12-15. These pages will help reinforce the "Big Ideas: of this building block:
Big Idea:
- Economic, social, and political patterns are influenced by geographical factors.
- Where people live is shaped by economic, social, political, and environmental factors.
6. Checkpoint Assessments: Located at the end of each of the building blocks. These may be given to small groups, pairs, or individually at the time. Use them to guide your teaching for now, but the hope is that students can complete these independently.

It's so ironic that these racist bitches hate on Indians yet they are so intrigued by Indian sexual techniques such as Tantra and Kama Sutra in fact everytime you have sex you are doing it the Indian way and you also do yoga even though you white bitches hate Indians lol. We pretty much invented the way you have sex. Without us you wouldn't know how to have sex. Indians created the first set of books on how to have sex. So go ahead and hate us!!!

hey man I personally have a LOT of respect for Indian culture, you guys came up with Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism, Buddhism, chess, curry, Kuma Sutra, Sanskrit, Yoga, meditation techniques, tantric sex, bollywood, I mean Europeans originally sailed to america to find a shortcut to Your country!

5 Special Needs Dogs Looking for Their Forever Home
These dogs don't let their disabilities or conditions stop them from loving their humans. Can you give these special dogs a warm home and plenty of snuggles?
Special needs dogs present a special challenge for shelters and rescue organizations. The pups often require extra attention, medications, or a little extra help with basic needs such as potty time and eating. They're not easy to adopt, but for the right individual or family with love and patience, these dogs could make a beautiful companion.
These five dogs are in New England, ready for someone to take a chance on them. While their disabilities and conditions are part of their story, they've got lots of love to offer.
Al the Australian Shepherd Mix
From Fetching Hope Rescue: "Al is deaf and partially blind in one eye, but that doesn't seem to slow him down! He is a friendly, happy, energetic boy who learns very quickly. Al is currently in a Maine foster home, and having a blast! He loves the water, has a great time playing with other dogs, and sticks close to his people."
Diesel the Pit Bull Terrier
From Red Hook Dog Rescue: "Diesel is a small (45lb), young (12mth old) pit bull puppy who is blind! We believe it is just juvenile cataracts and he is currently consulting with Animal Medical Center in NYC to see if they can restore his sight. He is fearful and will need a patient owner with at most one other, mellow dog, who can help him come out of his shell. He is a real sweetheart in the home! Like many blind dogs, he is a little guardy of his toys and would do best in a home without small kids…If his sight cannot be regained, he can still live an incredibly full life — blind dogs do not have any knowledge that they are "disabled". Blind dogs are 99% of the time just like all other dogs, and they will surprise you daily with their lack of limitations!"
McGruff the Yorkshire Terrier
From Passion for Pets Rescue: "He loves everyone, dogs, cats, people. Active, and his disability does not stop him! All we were told, is the three year old in the family dropped him, and they did extensive surgery but it did not help. He needs to have his bladder expressed two times per day, and it is very easy to do. He is very mellow, and his little bark is hardly noticeable. He does not really liked to be picked up, but will jump up next to you. He can run around with or without his cart. Its good on the carpet and in the snow."
Midnight the Pit Bull Terrier Mix
From Don't Dump that Dog Rescue: "My name is Midnight and I'm bigger then I look in most pictures. I love people and some other dogs. Most male dogs I'm scared of and will bark at them. I don't know what a cat is. I'm a very good boy here, crate trained and like exploring out side. I can find my way around and learned pretty fast. I have been blind all my life but don't let that fool you. I play, but get very silly…I can chase you and follow."
Mia the Basenji Mix
From Pawsitive Paws Forever Rescue, "Mia is a sweet girl who was adopted from a local shelter. Mia suffers from Separation Anxiety so going back to the shelter is not a good option for her. She is currently being fostered in NH. She is great with other dogs and cats and has been around teenagers and other people. She needs a little time to adjust into her new environment, and doesn't like sudden movements as they make her a little scared. She is shy with new people at first, but once she gets to know you she loves her people."

Shah Rukh Khan
No Record Found.
What is the criteria while choosing celebs for your show, Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai?
Criteria to choosing celebs is people that I know, because in the first season I wanted to interview people whom I have known about but also people who are available because I was shooting the whole season in one go. I wanted to shoot in fifteen days all the episodes, so that I can move on. Plus, economically it was better. I didn't want to make a platform out of it where people promote their films. So this show is exclusively about their lives. So, I am sure there is no fixed criteria. It was availability and my comfort level sometimes.
Why was SRK your choice for the opening episode of Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai?
SRK was an accidental choice for the opening episode. We shot him in the end. He was the last guest we shot. But I thought and the channel thought, it will be interesting to have him as the first guest and also the kind of things that he said on the show. Although he has been giving interviews for the last twenty years yet we all discovered that there are certain things which lot of people did not know.
What is the key element to a successful actor?
Key element to a successful actor is hard work and honesty, there is nothing else. You can survive only based on that. No amount of marketing can help… Of course the marketing can keep in news, but at the end of it, I think people go and watch your film and they decide wether you are so. I have seen ups and downs in the last thirty years but I have tried not to let it affect my work. That doesn't mean that I have not done bad work but my intention and honest is seen even in my bad work. So I think there are no other rule books. If there was a rule book, everybody would have read that and become what they wanted to become.
What is the biggest lesson that you have learnt from your career till now?
The biggest lesson I have learnt from my career is that there is no alternate to honesty and hard work, number one. Number two, that you need to do your own work and leave rest to the world. Number three, that people come and go. And not let success go to your head because what goes up comes down in this industry. Because your success and your failure is very public, the world knows about it. Learn from your failures. I think that has been my biggest asset. That's why my play Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai and infact the Anupam Kher Show-Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta hai is derived from my philosophy of life that failures can be celebrated and in every step of my life I have discovered, because the element of Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai is everybody's life.
At this stage of your career, is there any particular actor you want to work with?
No, I am enjoying working with all kinds of actors because I keep reinventing myself as an actor. And the best thing that I did was to open my acting school because I am in touch with today's actors who are learning here so that polishes me as an actor. And luckily, I am working with everybody. I am working from Aditya Roy Kapoor to Varun Dhawan to Devendu Sharma to Shahrukh Khan to Akshay Kumar… to everybody. As I always say, that now my competition is not with Boman Iranis and Pareshs of the world. My competition is straight with Varun Dhawan and Siddhartha and Arjun Kapoor because I don't want ever to be told, 'but this doesn't work in today's time'. That's why I don't want them to sort of… I mean I'll run with them and if I don't want to succeed, I will at least be parallel to them.
Coming to Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai play, is it really based on your life?
The play Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai is autobiographical. It's absolutely 100 percent true. I did the 320th show in Nepal, in Kathmandu. It's based on, not on my life; it's based on my failures, only on my failures. I wanted to do something on optimism. You see when I was struggling actor what kept me going was autobiographies of lot of people. And the first half of everybody's autobiography was what they were struggling, how they were trying to make it and what kept them going and every time I read that, I felt my life is nothing as compared to what they have gone through. And they became great people; I will also become a great person. So, when I did this show, The Anupam Kher Show-Kuchh Bhi Ho Sakta Hai I wanted to bring out that element, what is behind the successful person, what he has gone through, so that it's aspirational for the rest of the world. So, yeah! The play is absolutely my life.
At some point you said that you want to enter politics. When do you think time will be ripe for that?
I have no idea. I am very happy with the creative work that I am doing. I wrote a book which became the bestseller...I am doing films, I am running a school. I may go for that, may be 10 yrs later. I keep the option open.
Tell us about your equation with your son Sikandar.
It's a great relationship with Sikandar as I shared with SRK in DDLJ. He is a grown up guy now. I don't believe in imposing on children, be it anybody. Children these days are smarter than we are. I am friendly with him and share a lot with him. Touchwood...it's a greatest relationship a father and son can share.
What are your upcoming movies this year?
My recent release is 'Singham Returns'. After that, on 19th, 'Daawat-E-Ishq' is releasing, I am very exciting about it. I think I have done a great job in that. After that is fascinating film 'Ekkees Topon ki Salaami, then we have 'The Shaukeens', just started doing 'Baby' and then I will also do Sooraj barjatya's 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'. Some of them I don't even remember.
In 'The Shaukeens' you played a dirty old man. Tell us something about that.
Yes, I am playing a dirty old man in that movie. The background of 'The Shaukeens' is that 3 old men are leeching after Lisa Haiden. It's a great piece of acting from all 3 of us and Lisa has done a great job too. It's more of a comedy film.
Which are your favourite actors and actresses from our younger generation?
Today's generation is very competitive and focused. They are marketed very well so they are in the front of everybody's eyes. I have worked with Ranbir, he is a very good actor. I have not worked with Kangana but she's fantastic. I like Aditya Roy Kapur, Varun is good, Parineeti, Alia are fantastic. Newcomers doing 100 crore business means a great competition to the oldies.
Which is the most difficult character played by you till now?
So far 'Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Mara' was the most difficult character I have played till date. I researched on Alzheimer disease. To play an Alzheimer patient you have to have vacant eyes. I used to go early in the morning to Juhu beach to get into the act and forget about the people. I just one wanted to feel one moment of that emotion where I don't know who I was. It's one of my good performances. But now every time I forget, I get jitters that O My God! First sign, Not to panic! Sit down! I will not research on something like this ever.
Any message for your followers?
It's very important to be very optimistic, I am an eternal optimist. It's very important to deal with life on the note of positivity. And I am not saying it for the sake of it. I am an outcome of my theory of believing in optimism. When I came here, I had nothing. What kept me going was my optimism. Decide to be happy and think positive. I don't believe in criticising people. I just believe in complete optimism.
