heres a link to the various modes for transmitters http://www.rc-airplane-world.com/rc-...ter-modes.html
I had a similar problem just like that and it turned out the TX and the RX could not hook up and the esc would lock out everything and just continuously beep.
I ended up switching the RX and solved the problem.....
thats my two cents for what its worth...
Here is my BluBaby all dressed up in her KFM2 aileron wing and ready to party.
Update.... 6/20/2009. Flew one pack for about 15 minutes. She flew realy smoothly. Inverted flight seems to be a bit of a problem. Even with the minimal dihedral I put in she wants to roll back upright. I increased the throw on my ailerons and that made the roll rate a lot snappier. I landed. Changed packs and launched again. Suddenly at the end of my field and while turning back something glitched and she dove vertically into the ground. I chopped throttle and the field is soft grass so really no major damage other than some dented foam. All cosmetic as far as I can tell. Now the trick will be tracking down the glitch. I use a Spektrum radio so I would put radio interference far down on the list but would not rule it out.
Anyway, I find that steep turns require a fair amount of up elevator as would be expected and upon roll out quite a bit of down elevator is required to prevent a dramatic climb. So trim change in turns is pretty dramatic. All in all the KFM wing continues to be a delightful sport wing to fly with or without ailerons. I suspect that I could glue the ailerons in a fixed position and she would fly just fine because I made turns without touching the ailerons and the BB would bank quite nicely. My next sport wing will be flat with no dihedral and that should make it even sportier. Still my most fun plane to fly with either the KFM or the UC wing.

[QUOTE=rbrown3rd]Sweet. Is that two inch foam? Looks thicker to me. I don't have the BBAP plans in front of me. You are doing a great job.
Here is my BluBaby all dressed up in her KFM2 aileron wing and ready to party.
Thanks for the compliment. Slightly thicker than 2 inch, 53mm to be exact. Foam is EPP.
1st thing, does ANY of your servo work after you plug in the battery, when you move the sticks? If not, then the problems are:
1. You have the plugs in upside-down or wrong way around
2. Your rx and/or tx not working.
3. Your crystals not the same frequency. You must use the correct types of crystals for the tx and rx. The crystals for the tx and rx are NOT interchangeable even if they are the same frequency! I will not get into single/dual conversion crystals for the rx.
4. Your rx is +ve shift instead of -ve shift as required for a Futaba/Hitec system
5. Your rx is dead
6. The bec in the ESC is not supplying any current to the esc and other servos
If you have a multimeter/voltmeter, you can check out number 6 and see if you have anywhere near 5V across the RED/Black wires from the esc. Just plug the esc wire into the rx and stick the red probe onto the middle pin and the black probe onto the the pin the same side of where the black wire goes onto the rx. You can at least eliminate one fault. As for the other faults, you really need someone knowledgeable on-hand to help you out. We can try here to the best of our abilities, though.
Is the rx a Hitec brand or is it some other brand? If it is Hitec brand, you will not have problem with the +ve or -ve shift thing. If it came in a set brand new from the Hitec dealer, then you very likely will not have any problem with the crystals either, unless you plugged the rx crystals into the tx and vice-versa.
Please let us know all of these and show us some pictures like the others said so that we can see if we can spot anything wrong.
Sorry for the late reply, my boss had screwed me with some work...
I will surely upload the photos to make sure everything is fine.
I contacted some aeromodeller nearby, both of them said there something wrong either with with my rx or tx.
About the questions asked above:
* There is no hobby shop nearby.
* I didn't check the voltage across the receiver pins, I will surely do it after reaching home, its a good idea.
* This is the receiver m using http://hobbycity.com/hobbycity/store...idProduct=6406
* As mentioned above I will replace the receiver by this one:
for this I don't have the crystal, I inquired here, people don't have Hitech crystals, will these Hitech tx & rx work with any other crystals?
* Servos get a little movement at the moment I power up rx but after that they don't respond.
* I am trying to locate some one in the city who deals with this so the problem can be identified.
I will get back to the thread with the complete photos of the system. And I am really thankful to everyone here for their great help. Jimmy was right, people here love to help.
If the servo moved a little, that means there is power to the rx. Now for the Corona rx, did you "bind" the rx to your tx frequency? You have to go thru a certain procedure to set the rx frequency to that of your tx. I had 2 of these rx, and they are quite easy to set. These don't need any crystals for the rx. Just turn on the tx, then follow the steps I found on one of the reviews in hobbycity as show below:
(1) Hold down the scan button. LED Light will flash 3 times.
(2) after the 3-flash sequence finishes, immediately press the button again for 1sec or more.
The light will start flickering fast - the Rx is in the scan mode. Then it will pause and flash, and then stay ON (continuing red). At this point it is found and locked the TX. You should see the servos responding. You can disconnect the battery, reconnect and check that the frequency was remembered.
Also, this is from the corona-rc.com website:
Set up process
1. Turn on transmitter with the antenna extended
2. Power up the receiver. The receiver LED will flash 2 times quickly
3. Press the scan button on the receiver for 2 seconds,The LED will flash 3 times meaning the receiver is ready for the set up process.
4. Press the button on the receiver two times ,the receiver should blink quickly then light on .Now the receiver is ready for use .
Mode I Short lit followed by a short dark period, repeated 3 times
Mode II - Long lit followed by a long dark period, repeated 3 times
Mode III - Short lit followed by a long dark period, repeated 3 times
Mode I sequence will repeat 3 times. Pressing the button in this mode will start the frequency locking process. If the button is not pressed, mode II will be entered.
Mode II sequence will repeat 2 times. Pressing the button in this mode will disable the failsafe function. If the button is not pressed, mode III will be entered.
Mode III sequence will repeat 2 times. Pressing the button in this mode will enable the failsafe function. If the button is not pressed, mode I will be entered again.
If no button is pressed these 3 modes will repeat 10 times, then end with 2 short LED flashes.
Mode I : locking to the transmitter frequency
1. Turn on the transmitter with the antenna extended.
2. Turn on the receiver. The LED will blink 2 times. If the LED remains lit then the receiver is receiving correct commands from a transmitter. If the LED goes out then the receiver is not receiving any correct commands, in which case you should set it up again...
3. To set it up, press the scan button for 2 seconds, then release it. The LED blinks 3 times now (should it blink 2 times, then press the button again for 2 seconds). While in mode I, press the button shortly. If the LED begins to blink quickly it means that the receiver is searching for a valid signal. Wait for 2-3 seconds for the search to complete.
Once the receiver is locked to the transmitter, the LED will flash 2 times and then remain lit. If the LED goes out again, check the transmitter.
4. After the receiver has locked, if you dont change frequency, the receiver will work whenever you connect it to the power. No need to relock.
Caution: when locking your receiver, please ensure only your own transmitter is working and put your receiver close enough to your transmitter.
Mode II : disabling the failsafe
1. Turn on the transmitter with the antenna extended.
2. Turn on the receiver. The LED will blink 2 times. If the LED remains lit then the receiver is receiving correct commands from a transmitter.
3. To set it up, press the scan button for 2 seconds, then release it. The LED blinks 3 times now (should it blink 2 times, then press the button again for 2 seconds). While in mode II, press the button shortly to start the failsafe disabling process.
4. The LED will flash 2 times and then remain lit. The transmitter now does not control the receiver and the failsafe has been disabled. You must now restart the receiver.
Mode III : enabling the failsafe
1. Turn on the transmitter with the antenna extended.
2. Turn on the receiver. The LED will blink 2 times. If the LED remains lit then the receiver is receiving correct commands from a transmitter.
3. Adjust the sticks and switches on the transmitter to the position that you feel will best protect your aircraft in the event of a loss of signal. Typically the throttle is decreased and a slight elevator input is required to maintain a controlled glide slope. You should notice as you set the sticks and switches that the receiver is responding indicating the transmitter and receiver are synchronized.
4. To set it up, press the scan button for 2 seconds, then release it. The LED blinks 3 times now (should it blink 2 times, then press the button again for 2 seconds). While in mode III, press the button shortly to start the failsafe enabling process.
5. The LED will flash 2 times and then remain lit. The transmitter now does not control the receiver and the failsafe has been enabled. You must now restart the receiver.
During this setting step do not turn off the transmitter. Otherwise the receiver will not record the position of sticks and switches and it will not retain a failsafe setting. Should this occur you will notice the LED flashing twice and then going dark indicating that you will have to start the process over.
1. Restart the receiver when the set up process of disabling or enabling the failsafe is completed.
2. While in Mode I, Mode II or Model III you can cut power to cancel the setting process. Do not cut power in the process of locking receiver, disabling failsafe or enabling failsafe. Otherwise your receiver may be damaged.
3. After enabling failsafe, please readjust the transmitter settings of sticks and switches for the correct flight conditions.
Installing the receiver
1. Plug in all the servos/ESC. Pay attention to the polarity of the connectors. Please consult the labels on the case for the channel numbers and polarity.
Caution: If the polarity of the plugs is wrong, it can damage the servos/ESC.
2. If not using an ESC with a built in battery eliminator circuit (BEC), plug a 4.8V battery/switch harness into any unused channel. If you are using all the channels for servos, use a Y harness to connect the battery and servo to 1 channel.
3. Wrap the receiver in foam to isolate it from vibration and secure it in the aircraft with for instance a rubber band.
4. Unwind the antenna fully. Do not coil or cut the antenna.
Try the above and let us know. I think you probably have not scanned your tx frequency into the rx yet, and that is why you rx is not responding.
I have done that also...
I scanned it, I have programmed it thrice and I have disabled the failsafe. The same catalog was provided along with the rx.
And yes, my tx is having mode 2, its throttle stick is in left side.

You mean you have programmed the rx, and it has locked onto the tx's frequency? Did the LED remain lit after the programming? I no longer has one of these so I can't check, but did you do a long press of the button after setting the frequency? Hmmm or was that for the MKS PCM rx, which I also no longer use, since I am switched almost completely to 2.4G (mainly ASSAN)
I was taking photos to update it here, took all the photos and thought of giving it try once again, this time I tried with channel 1. Results were same, BEEP BEEP BEEP. Then I thought of adjusting the ATV(Adjustable travel volume). When I rotated it, beeps were gone and after a long beep motor started running at full speed. Cannot explain how happy was I.
Now problem is identified, there is something wrong with the sticks, in my transmitter channel1 and channel2 are given ATV, and both the channels are working fine I have confirmed by plugging one servo in channel2. I can control throttle and servo with ATV.
Thank you very much one and all here for their support and guidance, now my bluebaby is dying to get airborne...
I will have to order one tx, ca you guys suggest which one should I go for?
I hope it is clear
Smooth landings
Sorry! now I ssee It was already posted
I got one of the little video cameras that is about the size of a pack of gum and I have been having a blast with it. I strapped it to my 40 inch BB looking down the right wing and flew it around RAF (Redneck Air Field) Middleburg. and you can see it at http://www.ragwing1.com/foamair/aircam3.wmv and I have a few construction pictuires of my plane at http://www.ragwing1.com/foamair/bb.htm
Good for you. I thought I mentioned for you to check the ATV/EPA a looong time ago? Didn't you do that?
What kind of features are you looking for and how much are you willing to spend? If you are starting from new again, I suggest you start with a 2.4GHz system. Let us know the price range, and we'll see if we can dig up something to suit that is reasonably good.
Happy flying

November 02, 2013 @ Los Angeles County Museum of Art
The entertainment was waggish at the third annual Art + Film Gala fundraiser on Saturday at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). After a meal designed by Patina chef Joachim Splichal, Teller ("the quieter half" of magician duo Penn + Teller) paid tribute to co-honoree David Hockney by drawing a bowling ball and then magically causing an actual bowling ball to drop from the drawing pad. "David Hockney could do that with an iPad," he said, referring to the artist's iPad drawings. Later, Sting performed the song "Englishman in New York," transitioning into the Police's "Every Breath You Take." In between, Hockney gave a rare (one-minute) speech. Among the guests in attendance were actor Robert Downey, Jr., arts patron Dasha Zhukova, actor James Franco, dealer Larry Gagosian, and fashion designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte.
French New Wave director Agnès Varda was also honored, Scorsese having recently worked to digitally preserve four of her films.
The party, held in a temporary glass structure on the LACMA campus overlooking Michael Heizer's gigantic sculpture, Levitated Mass (2012), raised $4.1 million.
Leonardo DiCaprio introduced co-honoree Martin Scorsese, who wrapped up the talks with a keynote speech about the necessity of film preservation, also noting that Hockney was a big inspiration in his filmmaking. "All the way back to Taxi Driver," he said. "Major influence on Taxi Driver." He didn't elaborate.
Vinoodh Matadin, one half of photography duo Inez & Vinoodh—who recently showed at Gagosian Gallery in Los Angeles—favorably compared the LACMA Art + Film Gala to the Met Ball at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, telling A.i.A., "This is much more fun. The Met Ball is one big photo op, where they herd you from here to here, and then you go home. Here, you can relax and talk to people."
Bettina Korek, who runs Los Angeles arts organization ForYourArt, concurred. "I'm having so much fun," she told A.i.A. "Are you excited for Sting? I love Sting."

Oman, Qatar to Hire Jordanian Teachers
Jordan's education ministry intends to send more teachers to Oman as part of an agreement between Jordan and the Gulf state, while other teachers are being hired for posts in Qatar, the Jordan Times reported on Sunday.
Jordanian Minister of Education Khalid Touqan was quoted by the daily as saying that "the ministry has arranged to send 150 educators to Oman for the coming scholastic year," noting that the ministry also planned to hire 1,000 new teachers this month.
According to Touqan, the ministry decided to start the recruiting process early, and seeks to sign contracts with 800 BA, BSc and MA holders. Another 100 people will be hired for administrative posts.
The daily added that a committee from Kuwait would visit Jordan in July to sign contracts with teachers.
Touqan said Kuwait had expressed special interest in female English language teachers, which comes along with the Kuwaiti-Jordanian education agreement signed last month.
Gulf states relied heavily on Jordan's workforce during the 1970s and 1980s, but following the Gulf War, most Jordanian manpower was barred from returning to their lucrative jobs, especially to Kuwait, the report said – Albawaba.com

Gators aware of how BYU gets its fill
- |
OKLAHOMA CITY — No offense, John Wall. Florida coach Billy Donovan believes his Gators are about to open the NCAA Tournament against someone who's even more dangerous than Kentucky's player of the year candidate.
High-scoring BYU guard Jimmer Fredette is 12th in the nation in scoring, and only four players in the tournament average more than his 21.7 points. He set a school record with 49 against Arizona earlier this season.
"Being in the SEC, we had a chance to see a lot of great point guards in John Wall and Devan Downey, and I don't think either one of those two guys impact the college game like Fredette does,'' Donovan said yesterday after Florida, the No. 10 seed in the West Regional, practiced. "He has a totally different effect level on the game.
"Those guys can't get 50 in a college game like this guy can. They can't get to the free throw line 24 times in a game, so this guy to me really — Fredette — is one of the best-kept secrets in college basketball.''
Donovan's Gators are back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since winning national championships in 2006 and 2007, and will try to shut down Fredette today.
Fredette is coming off games of 45 and 30 points in the Mountain West Conference tournament and he's scored at least 25 10 times this season. By comparison, Wall has scored 25 points only once during a sensational freshman season that has him alongside Ohio State's Evan Turner in the discussion for national player of the year.
The seventh-seeded Cougars are the second-highest scoring team in the nation (83 ppg), and rank first in free throw shooting (78.6 percent) and third in 3-point percentage (42 percent). Fredette also averages a team-best 4.7 assists.
"What makes them unique and him so special in my opinion is he does it in a lot of different ways,'' Donovan said. "He shoots threes, he gets fouled, he passes it, and then they have other people around that are really, really good players.''
Fredette was raised in upstate New York getting drilled in the game by his older brother, then followed his sister westward to BYU. He idolizes former Jazz point guard John Stockton and spoke about getting used to playing in front of hostile crowds while playing against inmates at a prison.
"The biggest thing is the variety of shots that he has that he's really good at,'' BYU coach Dave Rose said. "He can shoot off the dribble. He can shoot runners off balance. He can get to free throw line. He plays at a pace that is really hard to guard.''
His challenge now: helping the Cougars end a streak of seven first-round losses. Their last win came in 1993, the last time BYU received such a high seed.
"We know that this program hasn't won for a little while here in this tournament but our coach was telling us before that all of those other teams in the past have nothing to do with us,'' said Fredette, a 44 percent shooter from 3-point range. "We were pretty young when those things were going on.
"It's a new team, it's a new time and we need to not think about it at all.''
The Gators are taking a similar approach after missing the tournament each of the past two seasons, following the departure of Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer, and Al Horford as lottery picks in the NBA draft. Donovan believes the recruits that arrived after those back-to-back championships may have come in with a sense that they were entitled to their own NCAA trophy.
"When those kids stepped on campus, the confetti was still falling when they got there and it was almost like they won the national championship and they were a part of it,'' Donovan said.
"It was almost like they came to Florida and they didn't even have to get up to bat. They started off on third base. And they didn't get to third base. We kind of had to start over.''
This season, he's seen his players return to the type of commitment and hard work necessary to reach the postseason.
"I know for my first time, I'm stoked. This is what college basketball is all about,'' said junior Chandler Parsons, part of the recruiting class that followed the 2007 title. "We're happy and stuff for being here and it's a great opportunity . . . but we're trying to make noise at this tournament. We're not just trying to play one game.''

Austad: Retirement age of 65 in 1935 makes no sense today
Updated 10:25 am, Sunday, May 6, 2012
You can line up all the schemes and proposals for reforming Social Security and you will still be left with one particularly sticky question: When should Americans retire? A little historical perspective from the medical field might help us think about this question.
For 67 years — from when Social Security was launched until 2002 — the answer to the question was unvarying: 65. It has varied a little since — it is now 66! — but in a modern medical environment, do these ages make sense? A 65-year-old in 1935 was almost a different species than a 65-year-old today. If the intent of a retirement system is to provide for those who are disabled from work by age and thus protect older Americans "from the hazards and vicissitudes of life," as President Franklin Roosevelt phrased it, this difference might point the way to more rational way of thinking about retirement age.
In retrospect, the changes in health and longevity that occurred during the 20th century seem almost miraculous. Life expectancy increased by nearly 30 years, more than it had during the previous 200,000 years of human history. Since only 1980, death rates from heart disease have fallen by more than half, from stroke by more than two-thirds.

Health, not just survival, also improved dramatically. Since the early 1980s, the rate of decline in disability among the 65-and-older population has been greater than 1.5 percent per year, and this rate seems to be accelerating. Life expectancy at age 65 climbed by 38 percent between the rollout of Social Security and today, and more important, active life expectancy at age 65 increased by nearly 60 percent.
From a purely medical perspective then, if a retirement age of 65 made sense in 1935, it makes no sense today. The average 65-year-old in 2012 is healthier than the 65-year-old of 75 years ago in nearly every way we can measure. He or she sees better (thanks to improved corrective lenses and cataract surgery), hears better (thanks to improved hearing aids), walks and even jogs better (thanks to better heart and lung health, improved pain medications and the possibility of joint replacement).
Given these facts, it seems reasonable to ask why the retirement age shouldn't be raised to at least 70? Even the nature of work itself has changed dramatically. The amount of physical labor done in the workplace has fallen so rapidly that a recent scientific paper blamed it for our current obesity epidemic. To be sure, some jobs still require considerable physical strength, endurance or agility. Modern health advances have not softened those losses of aging (although health clubs — an unheard of idea for older people in 1935 — certainly have). Any change in the retirement age would need to be sensitive to such issues. But even these sensitivities should be informed by changes in the health of older Americans.
The impending tsunami of retiring baby boomers is likely to force a conversation about the topic sooner than we'd prefer. A medical perspective is not, nor should it be, the last word on this issue. However, maybe it should be the first word — a starting point for a necessary, if painful, conversation.

Pickerington (Ohio) Central defensive end Taco Charlton's showing at the Columbus NIKE Camp in May earned the class of 2013 prospect recognition from a broader audience, which included several new college coaching staffs.
"It seems like that created a little bit of buzz," Charlton said of his NIKE Camp performance. "After that camp I got two more offers from Syracuse and Purdue."
Charlton added offer No. 4 on Wednesday from UCLA. His most recent offers joined a previous offer from Cincinnati. Charlton has also seen interest pick up from other programs since his NIKE Camp appearance.
Article Continues Below
"I got a lot of good vibes from Notre Dame. I have been in touch with their coaches," Charlton said. "Real early I talked with Michigan State and UCLA."
Charlton returned to Columbus for another camp last month, hoping to build upon his May showing at Ohio State's campus.
"I went to Ohio State's camp, but that was the only camp I have been to," Charlton said. "I did real good, they said. They said they still want to evaluate me against better competition because I dominated there."
Being the in-state school, Ohio State holds strong appeal for Charlton, but he does not claim any leaders this early in his recruitment.
"I'm open to go anywhere - I'm not set on Ohio State," Charlton said. "I always wanted to go there, but it's not something where if they offer that would definitely be the school I want to go to."
Charlton still has two more years of varsity football before he signs his college letter of intent, and his immediate focus is on his high school team. Additional visits to college campuses will take place this fall, and possibly later this summer as well.
"Our football season is about to start up, so I'm not going to visit too many more [schools]," Charlton said. "I might try to visit Purdue just to see the campus before the summer is out.
"I want to go see a couple Notre Dame games and Cincinnati has some big games they want me to come to. Even Syracuse said they want me to come to some of their games. I should be able to go to some Michigan State games too."
As a sophomore, the 6-6, 240-pound Charlton collected more than 40 tackles, eight passes batted down, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. This fall he plans to add another position to his résumé.
"This year I am going to be playing tight end too and try to make some plays on the offensive side of the ball," Charlton said. "My focus, though, is still on defense."

Jesse Tyler Ferguson hopes TV role helps gay marriage acceptance
Modern Family star tells Gay Star News marriage foes embrace Mitch & Cam
Jesse Tyler Ferguson was on the Los Angeles set of Modern Family last week when the 9th District U.S. Court of Appeals ruled that California's ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.
Between shooting scenes as Mitch on the ABC comedy, Ferguson had taken a pen and made a sign that read: 'How could you not want to see us tie the knot?' and posed holding it with actor Eric Stonestreet who plays his husband, Cam, on the series.
Both actors then sent it out via Twitter.
'We just wanted to capsulate to people that you love these characters so wouldn't you want to see these people happy? That's all it is,' Ferguson told Gay Star News at the 2012 Family Equality Council Awards dinner over the weekend.
Ferguson is aware of the fact that many of the viewers of his show may love Mitch and Cam, a gay couple raising a daughter, may be social conservatives opposed to gay marriage and other forms of LGBT equality.
'It's really no threat to them or their civil rights at all, it's simply equal rights for everyone,' the openly gay actor said. 'I feel like if [Mitch and Cam] are their in to understanding what the situation is, so be it. We'd love to be the catalyst for that. So hopefully that will sort of humanize it a little bit more.'
Ferguson had been up on the latest legal developments in the Proposition 8 case because his boyfriend, lawyer Justin Mikita, works with the American Foundation for Equal Rights, the group that brought the lawsuit that resulted in the ruling.
Same-sex marriage was legal in California for a brief time in 2008 before voters passed Proposition 8 which banned the marriages in the state.
'It's interesting because it's something we had before and it was taken away,' Ferguson said. 'There's something that's sort of bittersweet about that just because we had to fight for something that we shouldn't have had to fight for. It is, I think, the beginning of a very important movement. Hopefully it's going to be something that's not just legal in California but everywhere.'

Abstract:The first year in college is a time of intellectual, emotional, and social growth. However, there are many pressures that exist with this change: learning to individuate from parents and other adult protectors, earning good grades, getting along with roommates, exploring sexuality, fitting in, fulfilling extracurricular demands, meeting parental expectations, surviving financial challenges, and negotiating the increasingly present racial and cultural differences on campuses (Kadison & DiGeronimo, 2004). This McNair thesis will rely on data collected from a large study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health (R01MH083740) to implement an innovative type of FYE class that would teach college freshmen psychological strategies, such as mindfulness, psychological flexibility, and values exploration, to improve adjustment to college and life and to prevent mental health issues from developing. The focus of this McNair thesis is to find if this innovative type of FYE class is acceptable to a diverse sample of college students, as the approach being utilized in the classroom adapts for the first time a psychotherapeutic intervention into a classroom format, and typically, minority populations are less likely to seek, and stay in, treatment. The study randomly assigned 732 full-time college freshmen to two different conditions: the FYE class based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT; Hayes, Strosahl, & Wilson, 2011) and a control condition relying on a more typical FYE format. The sample was comprised of 30% ethnic or racial minority students, reflective of the campus population. We will use analysis of variance to see if ethnicity and race impact acceptability and perceived usefulness ratings by students who took an ACT vs. a control FYE class and to what extent psychological flexibility mediated findings from minority students in particular.

Hi! I work at a county museum in Sweden. Every year we hold between 20-30 evening seminars for the public. Sadly not everyone can make it, and the seminar room is frequently filled to capacity. For this reason we've decided to record the seminars and upload them to Youtube or similar.
I've been put in charge of setting up this test. My idea is to set up two cameras, one of them covering the podium and the other covering the stage (for when the speaker inevitably moves out of frame). Still frames from Powerpoint should be no problem adding in editing. The room is already equipped with Sennheiser Freeport wireless microphones plugged into a JDM ZA-1120A amplifier and a line out to a Univox DLS-380 induction loop amplifier for hearing aids. If possible, the existing equipment should be used for recording audio. Getting better equipment for cleaner audio is not out of the question, though, as long as it works with the Univox system.
My suggestion is to use DV cameras and the existing sound equipment and plug all three into a computer acting as an NVR. This should be simple enough to be used by the evening staff, ideally requiring only the push of one button to start recording both cameras and audio. The camera streams should be saved as separate video files for editing the day after.
The cameras would have to be placed at the back of the room, which means 10-15 metre long cables to the NVR, being placed in a room behind the stage where the sound system is today. Sadly, there is no other option, and this means extenders would have to be used for any HDMI or USB cables. The finished product should have decent video quality and be at least 720 px wide (preferrably 1080) with crisp audio for this to be worth doing.
The finished solutions I've found are either geared towards security cameras or streaming, both of which have features we will not need in the forseeable future.
The following questions come to mind:
- What hardware is needed in the NVR?
- What NVR software would be best suited to our needs?
- What cameras would be good enough?
- Is the existing audio equipment good enough?
- Any suggestions for a better solution?
Grateful for any answers!

An alternative, forget the NVR for a moment. You can mount 2 or 3 or more small HD camcorders discreetly around the room and record directly to SD cards. Record your audio from the room feed to a computer or external audio recorder. (I use this method all the time with two set cameras and a 3rd human-operated one.)
Load the cards into your NLE the next day, Premiere Pro is a good choice because it can sync the cameras and audio by waveform automatically -- do your multicam edit and you're good to go.
Any 1-button solution is going to require robust (expensive) cameras that can basically be left on all day without "saving" power and shutting down when you least expect it.
I've considered the approach you're suggesting, but I think it increases the number of things that can go wrong and given the planned camera locations it would be somewhat of a hassle. Of course, you're right in saying it's probably far easier, and perhaps I should revisit the idea. We've got Premiere so that's what I'll be using.
What cameras do you use? Keeping in mind the room will be somewhat poorly lit when showing Powerpoint presentations, will the cheaper camcorder models cut it?
Go with camcorders that have the ability to manually control exposure, focus and white balance all at the same time. This eliminates the absolute cheapest, but still does not need to be very expensive. Again, if you want a completely set-it-and-forget-it solution, NVR or not, you need more robust, professional gear.
Also forgot to mention, the powerpoint can be problematic. Either record the stream that is being fed to the projector, or you have to break out the individual slides and images and reinsert them manually on the timeline. (Frequently I find myself changing the timing for better rhythm either way.) Older powerpoints can be cracked with unzipping utilities such as 7-zip, but newer ones tend to be more "secure" by default and harder to access
My vote also goes for smrpix´s idea. Also I don´t understand why the cameras´placement would represent a hassle since you´d be putting them there anyway and with recording cameras, you even eliminate the cables from the cams to the control room.
Thanks a lot for the suggestions! I'll try the method you've suggested.

Sundar C directorial "Aranmanai 2" is all set to release worldwide on Friday, 29 January. The film, releasing simultaneously in Telugu as "Kalavathi", will see the light of the day in above 300 screens in Tamil Nadu.
Its advance booking started a few days ago and met with fantastic response from the audience. Rakesh Gowthaman, the managing director of Vettri Theatres, confirmed the news on Twitter and wrote: "#Aranmanai2 , very good advance bookings. Potential is like even an avg wom will turn the movie a SuperHit… @SathishMSK @ThenandalFilms. (sic)"
As a result, "Aranmanai 2" is going to have a stupendous opening not only in Tamil Nadu but also in Andhra Pradesh. Trade tracker Sreedhar Pillai tweeted: "Terrific Buzz in trade 4 #Aranmanai2 Tamil & #Kalavathi Telugu, sure to take a huge opening due to franchise power. (sic)"
They say "Aranmanai 2" is getting such an opening due to multiple factors, but mainly because of the stars cast, the director's track record and the success of the first instalment. The makers have also promoted the flick well, which has ensured that it gets a good opening.
"Aranmanai 2", which has bagged a "U/A" certificate from the Regional Censor Board, stars Siddharth, Trisha Krishnan and Hansika Motwani. Poonam Bajwa, Vaibhav Reddy, Soori, Kovai Sarala, Manobala, Raj Kapoor and others are also in the cast.
The movie will compete with Madhavan-starrer "Irudhi Suttru", which is the Tamil version of the Hindi film "Saala Khadoos". Experts predict this clash would take toll on each other's business to some extent at the box office.
The first instalment, "Aranmanai", featured Vinay Rai, Andrea Jeremiah, Raai Laxmi and Hansika Motwani in the lead. Director Sundar C himself was seen in an important role. The horror-comedy had turned out to be a hit at the box office, thereby paving the way for its sequel.

Legal Services Corporation Rescued
October 9, 1995
Some Republicans in the Senate appear intent on saving the Legal Services Corporation which provides legal help to the poor through 323 state and local groups costing taxpayers $415 million annually.
Many critics argue that the LSC agenda is much more radical than its rather benign mandate would suggest.
- It challenged a New Jersey law which would cap welfare payments to mothers who have additional children.
- It contested a California statute which would temporarily reduce payments for indigents who move into the state.
- Fought for the rights of drug addicts and alcoholics to receive disability payments.
- Fought the eviction of drug dealers, vandals and violent tenants from public housing.
- Litigated for the rights of panhandlers to solicit in New York's subways.

Later, Ariana took to Instagram and Twitter to share a photo of the flowers, writing, "a special baby love sent me flowers… @mileycyrus u are the cutest angel pie in da world."
We've got our fingers crossed that these two talented ladies will collaborate in the near future!

The Counter-Trafficking Project provides comprehensive legal services and case management for children and adult survivors of human trafficking. The program has helped more than 130 survivors of trafficking become self-sufficient and move closer to fully integrating into our society. Law enforcement and social service agencies identify Heartland Alliance's National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) as the key collaborator in providing critical protection to human trafficking survivors. International and national organizations and NGOs have invited NIJC staff to conduct trainings on human trafficking and to help them replicate NIJC's program model.
What is human trafficking?
Human trafficking is modern day slavery. Human traffickers force individuals to perform labor, services, or commercial sexual acts against their will. The U.S. State Department estimates that nearly one million individuals are trafficked across international borders annually and that 18,000 to 20,000 are brought into the United States. The Midwest region, along with much of the rest of the country, has seen a large influx of human trafficking victims. As a major city with a large and diverse immigrant population, Chicago is considered a "hub" for human trafficking. NIJC's comprehensive legal and educational services are critically needed.
NIJC's Response
Legal status is the first step for immigrant trafficking survivors toward attaining self-sufficiency and safety for themselves and their families. NIJC guides trafficking survivors through the complex process of obtaining certification and more permanent forms of immigration legal relief. With certification or a T visa, survivors obtain the life-changing benefit of employment authorization. After three years, a client with a T visa is eligible for lawful permanent residence status. NIJC has a 95 percent success rate in obtaining T visas.
In addition to providing comprehensive direct services, the Counter-Trafficking Project collaborates with other national immigrant rights organizations to advocate for additional protections in the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, including provisions that would ensure survivors of trafficking and their families receive critical assistance and support.
NIJC has provided intensive outreach and training to more than 3,500 law enforcement officials, pro bono attorneys, community and faith-based organizations, and health care providers throughout the Midwest and nationally to help them identify victims of trafficking and ensure survivors' safety. NIJC is an active participant in the Chicago Regional Task Force on Human Trafficking and the Milwaukee Area Human Trafficking Task Force to strengthen counter-trafficking efforts and develop comprehensive strategies to investigate, identify, and rescue victims of human trafficking.

Auburn might be getting its own reality show, but it has much bigger problems. Colonial Bank, of which Bobby Lowder, Auburn trustee and booster, was CEO, failed, was taken over by the FDIC, and now is being sold by the FDIC to BB&T Bank. Lowder was no ordinary booster: He was the "most powerful booster" in America, and had effectively hired and fired every Auburn football coach (and University president!) since 1983. (As one minor example, Lowder used to use his private jet for recruiting trips.)
Indeed, all this was significant enough for the Wall Street Journal to ask the fairly difficult (and fairly silly) question: What Does Colonial Bank's Failure Mean for Auburn Football? One answer, at least, appears to be a diminished role for Lowder, both in terms of hands-on involvement (probably good) and money (less so):
Lowder founded Colonial in 1981, building it up through 68 acquisitions in five states. For years, Colonial had a coveted franchise, one that attracted suitors, but Lowder repeatedly rebuffed overtures, pushing Colonial to keep growing. In 1983, Gov. George Wallace appointed Lowder to Auburn's Board of Trustees. In that position, Lowder took particular interest in his alma mater's football team. He used Colonial's corporate jet to recruit for the Auburn's football team, and he was behind the hiring and firing of every Auburn football coach, according to ESPN.
In fact, from those two posts, he was arguably the most powerful person in Alabama, ESPN writes.
That is no longer the case. Lowder was forced out of Colonial last month, and his rule at Auburn seems diminished. Writes Paul Davis of the Opelika-Auburn News:
"It is over. Bobby Lowder's Colonial Bank is dead, along with his powerful control over Auburn University. That's terrible news for the thousands of Colonial Bank employees but wonderful news for Auburn University.
"He had personally selected a majority of the board and almost brought the University down before he drove his bank out of business. The high-handed tactics at Auburn brought probation from the Southern Association of College and Schools for his micro-management of the University, for his shutting down academic programs and for stepping out of bounds in hiring and firing Auburn coaches."
The WSJ even includes a cheeky chart showing Colonial bank's assets as compared with Auburn's record. Surprisingly there is a correlation, particularly in 1993 and 1994, when the Tigers finished 4th and 9th, respectively. (Though the numbers are odd, since Colonial's assets exploded but then shrank rapidly, and didn't really recover until the housing boom, and we know how that worked out.)
So what do you think? Is Colonial's bad business bad for the taxpayer, but good for Auburn football? Did we collectively wrest control of the football program away from Lowder by helping shove him out?

Re "Risks of Pesticide Debated," Aug. 19.
Raili West believes that her exposure to methyl bromide fumes caused an illness. She also evidently believes that all of society should pay an exorbitant price for her unique hypersensitivity to the chemical.
Methyl bromide is a boon to humanity. I can say that in absolute confidence. The chemical prevents damage to crops and thus keeps food cheap and abundant. Were West to prevail in her quest to outlaw the substance, the poor would suffer disproportionately because food prices would increase due to a smaller supply.
But concern for the poor is never high on the list of "environmental issues."
West says, "I think it [methyl bromide] should be outlawed, because people are being silently poisoned."
I think it would be better if mindless environmental notions such as West's could be outlawed, as they do far more damage than any poison.

NASCAR has warned Richard Childress Racing that Clint Bowyer's car came close to failing inspection after his Chase-clinching drive at Richmond.
Bowyer's car was chosen by NASCAR for random inspection following his sixth-place finish at the Sept. 11 race. Once back at NASCAR's research and development center, NASCAR discovered the back end of the Chevrolet was very close to its mandated tolerance levels.
NASCAR still has the car in its possession. Vice president of competition Robin Pemberton says RCR officials are scheduled to review it with the sanctioning body later Tuesday.
Bowyer went into the Chase as the 12th and final seed, but won the opener Sunday at New Hampshire to jump to second in the standings.

I propose changing the name from the Da Vinci to Duh Vagincy
Da Vinci in the dark
Thank goodness I wasn't shooting with film: It took several frames to get a decent photo of the Da Vinci DAC ($31,000) from the California company Light Harmonic. But I didn't mind spending all that time trying, as the music was superbly tactile and compellingthanks in no small part to amplification from KR Audio Electronics, represented at RMAF by the enduringly gracious Dr. Eunice Kron.

Robert Downey Jr. said that his jail time has ultimately saved his life, which had become a series of nightmarish episodes, reported FOX news online.
"There was value in it ... I don't want to be a proponent of the system, but certain ideals have changed for me," the now-sober actor tells the October issue of Details in his first post-jail interview, reported FOX.
"I would have been the first to say it's unconstitutional to put drug abusers in jail or prison. Well, it's unconstitutional to be a human being and screw up your life that way.
"For me, it was about women and spending, the drugs were the icing, part of the deal. They all worked together ... an entirely bloated dysfunction."
Downey, 35, was sprung last month after spending a year in the slammer for drug and weapon offenses and violation of parole. He is in halfway house.
The bad-boy actor says prison taught him how to appreciate the simple things, and to be a kinder, gentler human being.
"This might sound a bit pathetic, but I like America a lot more than I ever did before," he tells the magazine. "You might think I'm embittered, or that I could say, 'It's terrible what they did to me, this country. But instead, 'I'm like, 'Fresno rocks!' It's all good.
"I'm not the same animal," he added.
He was so drug-crazed at one point, that even getting through the day with his young son, Indio, was impossible without getting high.
"Like, ugh, my kid wants to look at these Pokémon cards. God! I could deal with this if I smoked a couple grams of black-tar heroin."
His wife, Deborah Falconer, got so fed up with his hard-core drug use and partying, she dumped him and got herself a new man.
His transition from wild man to law-abiding citizen is going to take awhile.
He's in debt to the IRS to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars. And if he falls off the wagon, it's back behind bars. But the poster boy of '90s Hollywood scandal is adamant that prison for drug users can work – Albawaba.com.

'I did take April Jones to my house' - murder accused Mark Bridger 'remembers' in court
THE man accused of murdering April Jones has admitted he DID take the five-year-old back to his house.
Mark Bridger, 47, had previously denied the schoolgirl had been to his cottage, but today in court admitted he remembered laying her body down in his living room.
Bridger of Ceinws, mid-Wales, denies the abduction and murder of April, claiming he accidentally struck her with his car but can not remember what he did with her body.
He told the jury he had a recollection of "holding" April and placing her on the floor in front of the fireplace
Elwen Evans QC, prosecuting, put it to him that that was a "major" memory to recall.
"Up until this recollection your story had been that April had never been to the house," she went on, asking when the memory had "come back" to him.
Bridger told the jury it was during discussions with his legal team.
Miss Evans said: "It's a memory that has come back to you because you realised it's a fact that April's blood was on the carpet."
They are tools I have used - saws for cutting wood, hacksaws for making knife handles and walking stick handles - all of which I do in my living room.
Earlier the trial heard how Bridger viewed images of child pornography on his laptop on the day April went missing and that forensic investigators discovered traces of April's blood in Bridger's living room, hall and bathroom.
Asked about the presence of saws, hacksaws and knives in his living room, which the prosecutor described as "weaponry", Bridger told the court they were "tools" for outdoor activities.
"I love my bushcraft," he said: "They are tools I have used - saws for cutting wood, hacksaws for making knife handles and walking stick handles - all of which I do in my living room."
He denied he owned a "boning knife", saying it was nothing more than a "standard kitchen knife".
He added that two pairs of handcuffs in the living room were "just decorative".
Earlier, Miss Evans asked Bridger whether he had been "sexually frustrated" on the day April disappeared.
He said: "No, not at all."
She asked if he had looked at indecent images of children on his laptop that day.
The defendant replied: "I can't remember if I looked at it, I clicked on a picture."
Miss Evans then said: "Is it right to say that Monday October 1 last year was the day that your relationship with your girlfriend had finished?"
Bridger told the court it was.
Miss Evans told Mold Crown Court that after April's disappearance police mounted the biggest search in British history.
She said police had "looked everywhere", and asked Bridger: "Where did you put the body?"
Bridger said: "I can't recall. I still believe I have placed her somewhere."
Miss Evans said April's body has not been found because Bridger was trying to cover up what he had done.
She said: "Why has April's body, not any a part of it, been found?"
The defendant replied: "I have put her somewhere where it hasn't been found."
Bridger denied putting the body somewhere "carefully chosen".
Miss Evans said: "It's just one of those things? That wherever you have put her was just a search site that the police never looked? Is that what you are saying?"
Bridger replied: "You are asking me to speculate here and I can't do that."
Miss Evans added: "You really are not going to give us any assistance as to what you did?"
Bridger said he told police at the time about the places he had been and walked, including caves and rivers.
Miss Evans said police had been "up hill and down dale, down mine shafts and not found her anywhere".
The trial continues.

Pixel Star One is a simple game about a small space craft launched into the depths of space to see how long it can survive and how far it can travel. Hold the Left Mouse Button to activate thrusters and make your ship move up. Release the Left Mouse Button to deactivate thrusters and fall. Keep from the edges of the screen to prevent the mysterious forces of space from destroying your ship. Maneuver past the enemy ships trying to crash into your ship; Every time they hit your ship the turret level will go down, weakening its weapon systems. When the turret level reaches zero and the ship takes another impact by an enemy your ship will blast into debris. To keep your ship in one piece the Mother-Ship will send turret upgrades, force-fields, barriers, drones, and missions which can be completed to earn points. Barriers can manage 3 collisions from enemies, while force-fields are large lasers that protect your ship from enemies temporarily. Drones are tiny robots that orbit the ship and shoot at enemies. Missions are assigned to you every once in a while; The easy ones give you no less than 1000 points, and the harder missions can reward you up to 6000 points, both of which help you achieve the highest score possible. The Pixel Star One really packs a punch when its turrets are maxed and it has assistance drones which shoot at enemies. Drones get stronger and faster over time. Upgrades collected, distances traveled, enemies destroyed, and missions completed all contribute to your point total. With plenty of turret upgrades, enemies that continuously get stronger, and power ups, this simple game can easily get both challenging and addicting.
***Lite version does not include side missions that give extra points***
***Lite version delpoys weaker models of the Pixel Star One, not allowing it to go too far into space (You can only play for a certain amount of time till your ship fails)***

Heading Off a Dollar Crisis
The dollar is sliding. The Federal Reserve is warning about deflation. The twin budget and current-account deficits are soaring. And the nation is hooked on a $2 billion-a-day infusion of foreign capital to keep it going. Should we be worried that a dollar crisis threatens the economy? No. And not anytime soon. But long-term, the possibility cannot be ignored.
So far, the falling dollar is a boon. It's lifting profits for corporations with operations overseas. It's boosting import prices, providing many U.S. outfits with rare pricing power. Higher earnings are putting wind into the stock and bond markets. The last time the U.S. had a sharp decline in the dollar, in 1985-86, the stock market rallied 43%.
But there's no denying that sentiment has turned against the buck. And for good reasons. U.S. interest rates are half those of Europe, and the specter of deflation means they are likely to remain low well into the future. The U.S. is now the world's biggest debtor nation, owing $3 trillion -- an amount equal to the French and German economies combined. America's current-account deficit is pushing 6% of gross domestic product, a record, and may hit 7%. For the first time, the U.S. is paying foreigners more on their investment income from holdings in America than it receives from its own assets abroad. Central banks, especially in China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, are diversifying out of the dollar into the euro. By the end of the year, the euro could make up 20% of their reserves, up from 10% in 2002.
The greatest worry for the dollar is that the U.S. will follow Japan into a slow-growth, deflationary spiral. There are startling similarities between the countries: a bubble that burst and intense competitive pressures from Chinese imports. The differences, however, are just as important. The U.S. financial system never froze, as it did in Japan, where banks were unable to get rid of bad debts and return to the business of making loans. U.S. corporations have savagely cut costs to boost profits. Japanese companies have not cut nearly as much, and their profits have been flat for years. Most important, the Fed has benefited from Japan's experience and is determined to get ahead of deflation. It is already acting by taking out insurance via rate cuts.
What should be done to stop a declining dollar from becoming a rout? Washington must broker a deal on a tax cut that stimulates growth now without building in huge budget deficits later. The European Central Bank, facing unemployment rates of 9% for Germany and France, should cut interest rates sharply and soon. That would close the rate gap, generate growth, and help U.S. exports. Longer term, Europe and Japan must find the political courage to reform their economies and get them growing again. The U.S. can no longer afford to be the only locomotive in the world economy.

Mayweather and Pacquiao would have to rethink strategy if they ever fought?
If the fight between the two ever did occur I just don't think either one would use the same game plans they have been using in their recent fights. I think I would be a fight with alot of footwork, movement on the part of both fighters. Mayweather not being as flatfooted, and Pacquiao not as straightforward squared up. Between both of the fighters I feel it would be Pacquiao who would have to make the most adjustments to the gameplan. For Mayweather it would be nothing new to just box, move, and potshot. I personally feel it would be enough to beat Pacquiao if he doesn't make adjustments. As for Pacquiao, he would have to do more in and out and head movement. He would probably have to find a way to turn Mayweather and keep him from using his right hand. Easier said than done, but Pacquiao's footwork allows him to do that. Pacquiao would also have to give Mayweather alot of different looks, with feints and making sure Mayweather can't anticipate when Pacquiao will set his feet to throw his punches, because if there is one thing Mayweather does well it's beating you to the punch by anticipating when his opponent will get set to throw his punches as he showed recently against ortiz. Pacquiao has to be conscious that he would be fighting someone who is going to stand tall, move, counter him at a skill level far better than Marquez, and not give him the luxury of coming forward. Mayweather has to be conscious he'll be fighting someone whose definition of a combination isn't just a conventional three punch 1,2 and hook to the body. That if he does stand flatfooted, pacquiao can still fight with power without having his feet set and that he can punch at awkward angles that Mayweathers defensive stance isn't accustomed to. To me it's still a toss up. Mayweather proved that the issue of fighting southpaws is pretty much irrelevant. Pacquiao still has some questions to answer. It wont help him just to over power Marquez. If they say he has evolved into a better fighter overall since their last meeting then he will have to showcase it seeing as how his recent opponents haven't really forced him to dig deep or box. How do you guys think both would have to adjust if they ever did fight?

I just signed the following petition addressed to: City Council and Gage Park Management.
Allow a Sanctuary for Cats at Gage Park
Many cats and Kittens are abandoned in this area and they need shelter.
Kit Cat Club of Hamilton has agreed to work with the HWSPCA to ensure all cats are TNR (trap/neuter/release) so that they do not reproduce. This club will have shelters made, maintain them and feed the cats that take up residence in the park.
Volunteers are welcome to join our cause.
The shelters must be inside the fenced area to keep them safe from Dogs and wild animals that live in the park.

Sacramento hardcore heroes Deftones have revealed their beautifully brutal seventh album, Koi No Yokan, with a full album stream ahead of its official release on November 13.
From the crushing opening riff of first song "Swerve City," the album is power-packed with the band's signature combination of punishing guitars, shifting time signatures and layered melodies, offset by more atmospheric moments, like moody stand-out track "Entombed."
In an interview with Rich Rubin, KROQ late-night Joq, Moreno explained that the Japanese title of the album was a term that describes the premonition of love at first sight and is especially intriguing because there's no true English translation.
"I think just the whole vibe and the sentiment, a lot of people, especially in the group and just people in general, I'm sure they they've felt something close to that before," said Moreno.
When former Quicksand bassist Sergio Vega joined the fold Moreno explained that their decision was to "start from zero and just kind of rebuild our whole foundation."
The Deftones are already on the road in support of Koi No Yokan, with upcoming dates in Dallas (November 14), Las Vegas (November 18) and Los Angeles (November 21).

Prithiviraj who dons the police officer role in Satyam is clashing with the titans for the Onam season. Son of late actor Sukumaran, Prithiviraj after the success of Velinakshatram was in news for not toeing the AMMA diktat. He has also been linked with the young actresses in Kerala. His future films are for Priyanandan (Neyuthukaran fame) with MT�s story; a film for Lal creations, one film each with director's Vinayan, Kamal and Renjith. Prithiviraj takes time for a brief chat. Excerpts
Since your father and mother were in films, I think it was natural that you stepped into films?
(laughs) In fact I had nothing to do with films. My parents too had no idea of me entering films. They always kept me away from filmdom. I was studying in Australia for my Master�s in Technology. On a two-month vacation in Trivandrum script writer Renjith saw me and felt that I would suit the film Nandanam which he was to direct. Even when I said okay, making a film career was not on my mind. It was something to do during my vacation. I left back to Australia.
On what basis do you accept films?
I go by what the director�s say. I have entire trust in the director�s ability. If he feels that I suit the role then what better judge can I be?
Are you not conscious of building an image?
I don�t have an image at all. The first film Nandanam was a soft role while the first hit was Violence an action film. A total action film. After that was Velinakshtram which again was not a romantic film but a horror film. In Akale I played the role of a 58-year-old man.
Did you learn acting and other skills for a career in films?
(laughs). If you mean joining the dance class or take training in martial arts, then the answer is no. My directors have been my tutors. I have found that director�s themselves are very good actors. I have been lucky to work with directors like Kamal, Bhadran, Vinayan, Lohitadas and Renjith. Each of them has taught me something or the other. I am a director�s actor. I just do what they ask me to do.
How�s the competition?
The public thinks I am a competitor to great actors like Mohanlal or Mamooty. I am Prithiviraj who just doing my job. I cannot be an actor like Mohanlal. They are all legends.
You are linked with every heroine in Kerala?
(laughs) I have been engaged � married or simply having an affair with all the heroines in Kerala. All my heroines are young like me and so we get along well. Nothing more to it.
You seem to be accepting every offer that comes your way?
Most of the films are just announcements made in magazines. I hardly know anything about these projects.
