Munish D visits film festivals across the world, picks up the choicest B-grade flicks, dubs them furiously into Hindi, Telegu, what have you. He's practically built a mini-empire with this business model
Munish Dutt is having a busy day. Aside from recently having released Love, Sex and Multiplex in theatres across India, he's also having to step in to help a friend with serious Censor Board woes. "I've been in the industry for long enough, but this friend is just starting out. His screening is at Yari Road this evening and he's nervous. I know a couple of Censor Board chaps. So I'm going to the screening too to give him moral support," says the entrepreneur who's become a name to reckon with thanks to his unique trade: buying sundar-sasta-tikaoo B-grade flicks from international markets and giving them a local flavour via dubbing.
"Circa 1987 steamy foreign releases meant near-X-rated flicks with obnoxious titles, stuff that kept the good crowd away. I've given the single-theatre trade a new respectability," says Manish Dutt from his office in New Link Road, a dubbing studio that now imports obscure films from Bangkok, Los Angeles, Prague — anything that Dutt thinks will please the single-theatre public that he caters to. To meet the needs of his audience, the man travels far and wide, to film markets in Milan, Berlin, Santa Monica, Bangkok and Hong Kong.
So if the poster of a rather random international flick with a Hindi title is something you have chanced upon of late, chances are that this is the man responsible for it. And Dutt wouldn't have it any other way. The beginnings were modest but it was the stupendous success of Chui Mui in 2007 that made him bigger in the world of small pictures. A Czech production, Chui Mui was bought for around 10 lakhs. He then put in another 15 lakhs for prints and publicity. The rest as they say is history. Chui Mui was a superhit. "Chui Mui boasted of 90% theatre occupancy on its opening weekend. In one week, I sold the film all over India, even in West Bengal, which until then was a dead territory," says he.
One would assume that given the nature of the business, Dutt would be tempted to cut corners. In fact, the opposite is what has made him the betaaj badshah of B cinema. "I only use top quality prints. The dodgy producers use just one or two prints and circulate these all over the place. I get fresh prints made out of negatives that I legally acquire. And why not? An average Bollywood film runs into three hours. These films are half the length; making prints is that much cheaper. I'm presently glossy funk and the crowd likes that," he quips.
The kink is always in the mother tongue: films are dubbed in many languages here. Dubbing after all was always Dutt's bread and butter before he developed a flair for importing the right foreign produce. A guided tour of his office reminds one of Brian De Palma's Blow Out — it's a good scream. A core team of 20 runs his firm, even though he's now shifted to a smaller office in his premises. "That's because I also have bought an office in Chembur, close to where I live."
His operation includes six full-time dubbing directors, and on call are 300-400 freelance dubbing artists in the age range of 6-70 years. "I am in touch with all single theatres in this city: Capitol (now defunct), King's (in Kurla), all of them. Multiplexes are way too elitist for this genre and the C-grade film industry is too tacky. We provide the right balance. I like theatres with 30-rupee tickets and the odd samosa thrown in; it's democratic. Which is why I hate it when people call these films 'sleaze'. It only goes to show how little they must know. Just call me a very savvy businessman, okay? I'm here to make money just like anyone else," says Dutt with a brilliant smile.
On the way out, he points to a Carnage poster you see stuck to the door. That, he says, is a sign that he's moving up the game. "It's not solely B stuff anymore," before lighting a cigarette. We like, we like.

I'm writing a program that's liable to have segfaults in the first few releases (lots of malloc'ed stuff, unlikely to debug it all in time).
I was just wondering if there's a way I can make the program fail a little more gracefully for the user when it hits one, for example popping up a dialog giving a link to report the bug
currently the only way I can think of doing this is by wrapping the program in a bat script (or something similar) that will watch for non-zero exit & call a popup program.
anyone got neater ideas/alternative methods?
the program's being written in dev-c++ (using C only tho, not c++)

New York • Residents under 21 will soon be barred from buying cigarettes in New York City.
The City Council voted Wednesday to raise the minimum age for purchasing cigarettes and electronic-vapor cigarettes from 18 to 21. By passing the bill, New York became the most populous place in the U.S. to raise the tobacco-buying age that high. The city's current age limit of 18 is a federal minimum. It's standard in many places. At least two towns have agreed to raise it to 21.

BENICIA >> Like father, like son.
So it was for Sean Finn, who followed his dad on construction sites and into the land surveying profession.
Then their relationship came full circle when Finn and two partners — Gene and Fred Feickert — started F3 & Associates 10 years ago in Benicia, hiring Finn's father as a surveyor.
What's it like being his dad's boss?
"It's as cool as it can be," Finn said with a smile. "He never pulls the father card and I never pull the boss card."
Well ...
"I'm always the father, no matter what," his father Terry Finn, 70, said with a laugh.
From the start, the firm has practiced traditional land surveying at construction sites — providing boots on the ground to tell workers where things go. "When something is getting built from the ground up, there's always a survey element," the younger Finn said.
But the company also has embraced change, investing in cutting-edge 3D scanning and printing equipment to provide more services to refineries and other clients. The technology allows F3 to use scanned data to create scale models of construction sites that can be used as visual communication tools by project managers — something the company says no one else is doing.
"Looking back on it, we made a very gutsy call to acquire this equipment ... the most expensive equipment we've ever bought, in the middle of the worst recession we've ever seen," Finn said. "But it paid off. It was a move we're proud of at this point."
The firm has grown to more than 50 employees, serving big clients such as Google, Apple, Chevron, Shell Oil and Disney.
Its local projects have included the Bay Bridge, Cal Memorial Stadium and the BART Warm Springs extension project. The company's use of 3D printing is attracting attention. At a recent industry conference in Las Vegas, the firm snagged two first-place prizes against competition from larger firms.
"We're a small shop," 39-year-old Finn said. "There were companies there that probably have more HR employees than we have employees."
Investing in new equipment cost "millions," but Finn said it was a risk worth taking.
"My partners and I just jumped off a cliff flapping our arms hoping this stuff takes off," Finn added. "It's proven valuable to our clients. They visualize how they're going to approach the welding, how they're going to erect the scaffolding, where the crane is going to be set up, so they have a plan of attack they can feel good about."
Today they have seven scanners and four 3D printers, which work around-the-clock at F3's cozy headquarters on East H Street.
"It was like we invented the wheel," Finn said of the first 3D model the they delivered to a client about a year and a half ago. "Not only did we solve the challenge that the client put before us, but we delivered so much over the top that it exceeded their expectations."
Sensing a business opportunity, the firm patented the way it uses 3D printing. "No one else is doing this," Finn said. "It's industrial long-range scanning to 3D printing."
A Benicia native, Finn said he's proud of working in his hometown, where attended Mary Farmar Elementary School, St. Dominic's and Vallejo's St. Vincent-St. Patrick High School. He graduated in 1993.
"Personally, I like the commute," said Finn, who's married with three children. "When I go to lunch I get to see people I grew up with. I have my parents here. It's great."
He said he's happy to still work with his dad, who taught him about land surveying growing up.
"It's a family atmosphere,"the son said. "We try to be a big company, we service these world class clients, but at the end of the day we're a tight-knit group."
He added he's proud of his father "because at a moment when he could have retired he came on board to help us out. And when we embraced this new technology ... well, he's the main guy who does that for us now. He's out in the field running one of the scanners."
The older Finn also gets a kick out of working with his son and his partners.
"I've know them forever," he said. "If I wasn't working for Sean, Gene and Fred I would have retired. I think it keeps me young working with the young kids."

Braves Place MLB ERA Leader Beachy On DL With Sore Elbow
ABC Digital
Updated at
(ATLANTA) — In just his second full season in the majors, Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Brandon Beachy is enjoying a terrific season, establishing himself as one of the better young pitchers in the game. For now though, his breakout season will take a back seat to a sore elbow that has forced Beachy to land on the disabled list.
The 25-year-old Beachy currently owns the best ERA in all of Major League Baseball this season for a starting pitcher. In 13 starts, Beachy is 5-5 with a 2.00 ERA. He left his start on Saturday against the Baltimore Orioles in the fourth inning. He will undergo an MRI today, but there is hope that Beachy merely has bone spurs instead of ligament damage,
"I expect in 15 days, he'll be ready to go," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "There are plenty of pitchers who have pitched with (bone spurs). That will settle down a little bit."
Replacing Beachy in the rotation will be Jair Jurrjens. In four starts this season, Jurrjens went just 0-2 with a 9.37 ERA.

Former Frome resident Sarah Parkinson queued all night outside Bath furniture store Silcox Son and Wicks to make sure of buying a new Italian leather footstool at a knock down price, in its annual summer sale.
Mrs Parkinson mounted a 15-hour vigil outside the Kingsmead Square store to be at the front of the queue and was joined later by
Former Frome residents Kevin and Maya Hendy managed to nab a 5ft bed with an Empress mattress and headboard reduced from £1,137 to £199 in a sale at Bath store Silcox Son and Wicks.
The couple who own Java Coffee house just a stone's throw away from the store in Kingsmead Square supplied coffee and hot drinks all night to others in the queue.
"We have been watching these sales for the past four years from our shop window", said Mr Hendy, of Westgate Street, Bath.
"As we have just moved house from Bath to Frome we thought we'd just give it a go and it was surprisingly great fun – everyone has been so friendly."
Sarah Parkinson queued all night outside Bath furniture store Silcox Son and Wicks to make sure of buying a new Italian leather footstool at a knock down price.
She mounted a 15-hour vigil outside the Kingsmead Square store to be at the front of the queue
Amanda Gurbarran and her son Ishmail Alleyne, 14, from London travelled especially for the sale.
Ms Gurbarran, who grabbed herself a 5ft. silk mattress and Oltoman divan that was reduced from £1,678 to £299, was delighted.
"We don't have anything like this in London", she said.
"It was well worth the visit and I'll be back again for the winter sale."
Joint store owner Steve Wicks, from Trowbridge, said: "These sales have become an annual tradition and we all look forward to them every year – we have them well organised and I'm always chuffed that so many people come and wait for long periods rain or shine.
"On a practical level they help us clear away old stock and keep the store fresh and up to date. I believe it's one of the reasons we have so many returning customers – they always know we have something new in store.
"Anyone who missed out on the first shouldn't worry. There are plenty of bargains left and the sale continues until everything is gone."
Silcox Son and Wicks has been holding sales since the 1950s and always attract large numbers of customers.
The business has been trading from its Kingsmead Square premises for more than 100 years and celebrated its centenary in 2000. Later in the year the company will celebrate its 115th birthday.

Berlin (Jun. 17)
M. Francois Coty, in the course of his articles in the "Figaro", alleging that international Jewish financiers are at the bottom of all the ills of the world, praised the Agudath Israel as an organisation "representing some 800,000 or thodox Jews who are faithful to their race and who are opposed to the attempt to leave the religious territory of the Jewish people for political adventures, which will only end by alienating all sympathy of the nations".
The Agudist organ, the "Israelit" of Frankfurt, refers to M. Coty's articles in a leading article, in which it says:
While it is true that the Agudah favours direct peaceful negotiations in each State, rather than appeals to the League of Nations, while it is true that the Agudah energetically opposes non-religious political Zionism, yet there is not one iota of truth in the legend of a world domination on the part of any section of the Jewish people. It is deeply to be regretted that M. Coty, who undoubtedly has the opportunity of informing himself of the true position should make this calumnious accusation against a people which is, in truth, suffering enough".
M. Coty's expression of approval of the Agudah and its attitude, caused a good deal of comment in Jewish papers and a demand that the Agudah should publish a statement repudiating M. Coty's charges.
The Agudath Israel will hardly be pleased with their new disciple and ally who has thrust himself upon them, one writer said, but until the Agudah has officially protested against Coty's misuse of their arguments there is bound to be dissatisfaction and uneasiness among Jews.

Housekeepers on cruise ships make around $40 a day working 12-hour days on average. They get zero days off for the duration of their contract of 6, 8 or 10 months. That's right, zero days off, 12 hour days, and no visits from family or friends. You think your 10-hour a day job is hard? Please, reconsider and think again.
What's even more impressive than working for only $40 a day is the service staff's positive attitude. For 12 days and 12 nights, never was I greeted in a less-than-happy manner. Whether I was asking for directions to the theater or requesting the New York Times in the morning, the service staff were always eager to serve.
The entire service staff was from either Indonesia or the Philippines. Hence, $40 a day might be equivalent to $200 a day back in America or Europe based on purchasing power parity. Furthermore, after working for 300 days straight with not one weekend off, one could theoretically accumulate $12,000 US dollars + a bonus, equaling roughly $50-60,000 dollars of buying power back home. Not bad at all!
The service staff I spoke to said that they send roughly 80% of their pay back to their families. Their expenses are little because they all get free room (two to a room) and board. A couple of them had the option of doing 6 month contracts, but insisted on 10 month contracts as they wanted to work more and make more. They wanted to take full advantage of their opportunity.
I asked whether it was easy or hard to get a job on the cruise ship, and they said, "not hard." You just have to apply, and go through the training. "Always be positive", they told me. Sounds pretty straightforward to me.
During one of our last buffet luncheons, our waitress from a different restaurant came by to say hello. I learned she was on a 10-month contract and wasn't heading back from another 7 months. Her service was excellent and she asked if I was on online – if only she knew how much. We exchanged details, and at the end, she asked whether I could fill out the cruise-end survey. "Of course I will," I told her.
What takes me 5 minutes could help make someone more money and achieve a promotion. In the survey I wrote, "Angely Siregar is excellent. She was attentive to our needs at Tamarind Restaurant where we dined for dinner and has a very positive attitude. Please take good care of her and consider her for any promotions." I knew her full name because she took the time to say hello.
The Cruise Director started off as a drummer, while the Tamarind Restaurant manager started off as a bus boy. Through positive feedback from clients, management recognized them. Sometimes, you will be so good that clients will recognize you independently. But, often times, clients won't know your name or provide specific details. Sometimes, they won't even bother filling out the survey.
Just because Angely had the wherewithal to strike up a conversation and ask, she got my vote and then some. Everything is relative, and if there aren't laudatory comments on her co-worker's forms, she's moving ahead.
Nobody likes to play office politics, but I firmly believe it is a must. My mantra is that you must sell yourself internally as much as you sell yourself externally to clients. When it comes time for pay raises, promotions, and layoffs, who are you going to take care of if you are in your manager's shoes: 1) The loyal employee who makes you look good and is always participating in team-building events, or 2) The loyal employee who is largely invisible at all company functions?
Managers won't tell you this, but when it comes to firing people, they have a list and circle the people they don't know well. They could be excellent performers, but if the manager doesn't know the name of your husband, children, wife, etc… or has never seen you participate in a charity event the firm is hosting, you will undoubtedly be the first person to go, even if you are a slightly better performer. People take care of their friends, and when their friends become family, they certainly never let their family down.
Never be afraid of asking what you want when you feel 100% certain it is what you deserve. People want to reward people for a job well done and all you have to do is communicate your proof. You can't expect your manager or clients to remember every single detail about what you've done. It's up to you to highlight your achievements during mid-year, or year-end, and fight for yourself in a tasteful way.
You know that after building up all that goodwill throughout the year, you need to cash in. People don't not promote or pay you because they are nasty. They don't recognize you because they've either forgotten, or they're busy worrying about their own situation! Help your managers remember, and at the same time, help others who've provided you with excellence service by filling out them forms.
Start your own business: If you feel you're not getting paid what you're worth, start your own business online on the side! It used to cost a fortune and a lot of employees to start your business. Now you can start it for next to nothing with a hosting company like Bluehost for under $4/month and they'll give you a free domain for a year to boot.
Brand yourself online, connect with like-minded people, find new consulting gigs, and potentially make a good amount of income online one day by selling your product or recommending other great products. Not a day goes by where I'm not thankful for starting Financial Samurai in 2009.

Hopefully, for these bankers' own interests, greed does not produce genius. When those stressed out Wall Streeters get their triple bypass surgery, they'll be trusting their lives to brilliant cardiothoracic surgeons earning a median wage of $424,000 nationally and only $516,000 if they practice in New York City. In fact, the Medtronic ( MDT) clinical specialist engineer who developed the medical devices that may be implanted toiled happily for only $70,000 with a possible bonus of $18,000! That even makes the modest pay of the finance professors who trained these financial Masters of the Universe look pretty good. Hugely successful CEOs of great firms ranging from UPS ( UPS) to Costco ( COST) love their jobs and take very modest salaries. Marketing genius Roger Enrico of Pepsi ( PEP) never took his salary as CEO, donating it to Dallas school children. Turnaround star Bill George of Medtronic regularly declined the salary increases encouraged by his board. If the fallen financiers are really so brilliant and want high rewards, they should welcome the Obama pay plan as it will reward their successes. Perhaps this is why it has earned praise from such unexpected voices as Jack Welch and CNBC's Larry Kudlow. If financiers choose to leave their institutions, they should start their own. Steve Jobs hasn't taken more than a dollar a year in salary and other founders such as Bernie Marcus of Home Depot ( HD) always took modest salaries. These leaders become multi-billionaires by stock incentives that would reward great performance much like what is offered to financier in the Obama plan. This harkens the old Smith Barney tag line "We make money the old fashioned way, we earn it." Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, the Lester Crown Professor of Management Practice at Yale, is the Senior Associate Dean of the Yale School of Management. He is also a member of the board of directors of TheStreet.com, which publishes this Web site.

Well, Zendaya Coleman captured plenty of attention as she took to the red carpet of the 2014 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party in Los Angeles, California on Friday (September 26).
She pulled off quite the hat trick while nodding to event partner, Emporio Armani, as she dressed in a structured, wide-leg jumpsuit from the label's Fall 2014 collection.
Also paying homage to a certain Pharrell Williams, she might have just topped his over-the-top 2014 Grammy Awards mountain hat with her own rendition snatched from the Armani runway.
So large it was nearly comical—and laughable—the bucket hat ensured that the rest of the outfit was mainly a moot point when faced with such an accessory. Not that she didn't look lovely with her glossy pink lip underneath that brim.
That said, you have to tip your hat at this chameleon for consistently changing her fashion colours whilst proving she can be the chicest of style punks.

Christ Church repeats as state champs
Fri, 23 Nov 2012 23:54:10 GMT —
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Christ Church scored nine points in an eight-second span of the fourth quarter to take a 27-18 victory over Johnsonville to claim the Class A Division I state championship and cap an unbeaten season.
A snap over the head of the Johnsonville punter gave the Cavaliers (14-0) a safety. Quan White returned the ensuing free kick 51 yards for a touchdown with 3:13 to play, virtually sealing back-to-back state titles for the Cavaliers.
Christ Church led 10-6 at halftime. But Johnsonville (13-1) scored on a 17-yard run by Brison Allison and a 73-yard run by Tushai Edwards to take an 18-10 lead. Christ Church then tied it on a 1-yard touchdown run and two-point conversion.
To reach the championship game, Christ Church defeated C.A. Johnson, St. Joseph's and Ware Shoals.

Qatargas signs LNG sale deal with Spain
Qatar Liquefied Gas Co. Ltd (Qatargas) and Gas Natural Sdg, S.A. (Gas Natural) of Spain announced the two companies have signed LNG sales agreements for 2 billion cubic meters (bcm) or 1.5 million metric tons per annum (mmta) of LNG for 20 years, beginning 2005. The two parties have also
agreed to extend their existing mid-term ex-ship and fob contracts, singed in 2001, QNA reported.
Abdullah bin Hamad al Attiyah, Qatar's second deputy premier and minister of energy and industry, signed the agreements in his capacity as chairman of Qatargas and Enrique Locutura, chief executive officer of Gas Natural signed the agreements on behalf of the Spanish side. The gas for this project will be sourced from Qatar's giant
north field, which has recoverable reserves estimated at 900 trillion cubic feet of gas. The LNG will be transported for delivery to Spanish LNG terminals by two new LNG vessels, the Dukhan to be provided by Qatargas and Castillo de Villalba chartered by Gas Natural.
The agreement is the culmination of a long-term relationship between Qatargas and gas natural, which has been extensive since Qatargas s initial start-up in 1997.
By the end of 2003, Qatargas has sold over 90 fob or ex-ship cargoes or four million metric tons to Gas Natural which is the leader in the Spanish market, the most dynamic LNG market in Europe with over 20 percent growth in 2003.
Qatar will be producing 23 million tons a year of LNG in the year 2007 and output will rise to 77 million tons a year in the year 2011, said Abdullah bin Hamad al Attiyah. (menareport.com)

Don't miss your chance to talk serious Seminole football recruiting with the experts on the Warchant.com Premium Recruiting Message Board
The rumors have been rampant ever since Florida State's summer camp. Well, the cat finally appears to be out of the bag. During a trip to California for the Elite 11 Quarterback Camp Drew Weatherford, a four-star signal caller according to Rivals100.com, finally decided to announce his decision. He told Student Sports, a high school sports magazine and website, late Saturday that he wanted to end the process and committed to the Seminoles.
With Florida State striking out at quarterback in the last recruiting class, the Land O'Lakes star will be a huge addition at a much needed position. He will likely watch from the sideline his first year with seniors Chris Rix and Fabian Walker on top of the depth chart, but will have a shot at competing for the coveted starting job in 2005.
The 6-foot-3, 205-pound signal caller had an amazing 37-to-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio last season. He also had a 70-percent completion percentage and threw for 2,494 yards.
Weatherford's Video HighlightsClick Weatherford selected FSU over Auburn, Tennessee, North Carolina and NC State. He is fully qualified and carries a 3.5 GPA.Here to view this Link.
* First team All-State
* Member of the Florida 50 - No. 9 overall

Weird issue I can't figure out. Have a custom membership provider and when I log in as one user, then log out and log in as another user then the custom widgets were I get the logged in users username returns the user name of the first user I logged in as instead of the one after I logged out and logged back in.
I put one of the SiteFinity Logged in User widgets on a page and that shows the correct logged in user name. I did have it working same way on our Trial version of SiteFinity that is version 8.2.5900.0 but it doesn't work on our Purchased SiteFinity site that is version 9.0.6010.0 so not sure if it has something to do with that or not?
Here is code I am using to get the current logged in user:
var identity = ClaimsManager.GetCurrentIdentity();
var currentUserGuid = identity.Name;
if (currentUserGuid != "")
UserProfileManager profileManager = UserProfileManager.GetManager();
UserManager userManager = UserManager.GetManager("CustomMembershipProvider");
User user = userManager.GetUser(currentUserGuid);
SitefinityProfile profile = null;
if (user != null)
profile = profileManager.GetUserProfile<SitefinityProfile>(user);
return profile.User.UserName.ToString();
return "Anonymous User";
I tried using the SiteFinity Login/Logout widget and doing a custom log out with same code you have listed but that didn't make a difference.
It does work when I turn the caching for the page that the widget is on to 'No Caching' though so I guess I can just do that.
My custom provider isn't connected to SiteFinity user profiles either so had to change the code I originally posted to just this:
var identity = ClaimsManager.GetCurrentIdentity();
var currentUserGuid = identity.Name;
Make Sitefinity work best for you.

My Tent Or Yours could go novice chasing when the jumps season moves through the gears later in the year.
Nicky Henderson's seven-year-old finished second in the Champion Hurdle in March, but he has been continually blighted by head-strong tendencies.
Connections of the Grade One-winning hurdler are now considering a new vocation.
Henderson told Channel 4 Racing: "We are thinking along the lines of schooling him over a fence and see what AP (Tony McCoy) thinks, then make a decision."
Stablemate Bobs Worth, the 2013 Gold Cup hero, could again run in the Hennessy Gold Cup at Newbury in February - a race he won in 2012.
The nine-year-old gelding excelled in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas but turned in a curious effort when only fifth in his defence of the Gold Cup at the Cheltenham Festival.
Henderson said: "You'd probably want to have some sort of a (prep) race (before the Hennessy).
"He has not got a real robust constitution. You couldn't have run him again after Cheltenham."

Target: Object weighing up to 30 lb. or portal that can be opened or closed
You can open or close (your choice) a door, chest, box, window, bag, pouch, bottle, barrel, or other container. If anything resists this activity (such as a bar on a door or a lock on a chest), the spell fails. In addition, the spell can only open and close things weighing 30 pounds or less. Thus, doors, chests, and similar objects sized for enormous creatures may be beyond this spell's ability to affect.
|And a Wu Jen with a familiar and Minute size...that's just cheating...

It took a Tallahassee jury two and a half hours to reach a verdict in the trial accused pedophile Richard Rightmire, guilty on all counts for having sex with a young girl and taking dozens of pictures of it.
"At my age, it's a rare thing to have intercourse sometimes, and especially with a young lady, that's quite, something that stays in your mind," Rightmire said.
Richard Rightmire stunned the courtroom when he took the stand and tried to explain why he was having sex with a 16-year-old girl and taking pictures of it. He claims it was her idea.
"She wanted to keep them. I didn't want them personally, but I thought it would be nice to take and modify the pictures. When I took the pictures, I fell in love with her face. Her face was just phenomenal in them. The body was irrelevant, that was not what I was looking at," he said on the stand.
But prosecutors pointed out very few of the 75 lewd photos of the girl bothered to include her face. Most showed her naked, bound or engaged in sex acts that Rightmire admitted to right on the stand.
When asked if he had had sex with the teen after her 16th birthday, Rightmire said, "Yes we did."
The jury's task was to render a guilty or not guilty verdict on 88 different charges that could send Rightmire to prison for the rest of his life.
Late Friday afternoon the jury came back with guilty verdicts on all 88 counts. Sentencing is set for September 18.

A native of Johnson County, Kentucky, and a 1948 graduate of Paintsville High School, Cullie J. Sparks longed to find an easier lifestyle than hoeing corn, digging potatoes, and working in the family grocery store. He enrolled in the University of Kentucky and received a Bachelor of Science degree in metallurgical engineering in 1952. In 1957, he became the third person to receive a doctoral degree from the UK College of Engineering. Dr. Sparks was an active student leader in the College of Engineering and served as president of the Engineering Student Council in 1951-52. While finishing his doctorate, Dr. Sparks served as a Project Officer in the U.S. Air Force.
After receiving his doctorate, Dr. Sparks joined the staff of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and began a stellar career as a scientist and at the same time, an educator at the University of Tennessee. As manager of the X-ray Diffraction Laboratory of the Metals and Ceramics Division at ORNL, he developed a broad capability for analyzing the atomic structure of matter in support of a large research effort on both metallic and ceramic materials. He was instrumental in developing the extension of x-ray and neutron diffraction methods to unravel the near-neighbor atom configurations of the atoms in crystalline metallic and ceramic solid solutions. His research has led to improved methods of studying the atomic and electronic structure of materials, especially those in which alloying additions and heat treatment can be used to alter their properties.
His research in x-ray optics provides the basis for the design of the x-ray beam lines for major synchrotron light sources in the United States and Europe. His theoretical and experimental developments in monochromators and in the development of techniques to match the optics to the emittance has simplified the design of the e-ray beam while increasing intensity on the sample by factors of 2 to 20. This was first demonstrated on the ORNL X-ray Scattering Facility which was constructed at the National Synchrotron Light Source at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Sparks was responsible for the conception, design, and construction of this facility. He was granted a U.S. patent for the x-ray optics systems and the work was selected for an IR-100 Award as one of the major technological developments of 1983.
Dr. Sparks has been the driving force and technical leader behind the development of the x-ray microprobe that is currently a principal thrust within the U.S. Department of Energy. This microprobe promises to increase the quantitative detectability of trace elements by a factor of 1000 to 10,000 over current techniques. This ability is a major requirement for the design and production of the next generation of integrated circuits and electronic devices.
Dr. Sparks' work has been one of the major factors in the use of x-ray diffuse scattering to unravel the structure of alloys at the atomic level. There may be no currently active researcher who has exhibited so much understanding and skill in using these techniques. Dr. Sparks is currently a research professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and a consultant to the Metals and Ceramics Division of the ORNL, Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
Dr. Sparks has received numerous honors and awards. Most notably, he was elected a Fellow of the American Society of Metals International and a Fellow of American Physical Society. He is the recipient of the Department of Energy Award for Sustained Outstanding Research. Dr. Sparks has authored and co-authored more than 100 scientific publications and book chapters and holds two patents. He has served on several national and university science boards including the USA National Committee for Cyrstallography and is a member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Xi honor societies.
Dr. Sparks and his wife, the former Janet Webb, reside in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. They are the parents of five children, Teresa Sparks-Scalia, Los Angeles, California, Janet Sparks-Kuczynski, Durham, North Carolina; Linda Sparks-White, Maui, Hawaii; Jill Sparks, Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and Brian Sparks, St. Louis, Missouri. The Sparks have five grandchildren.

Before and After: US Foreign Policy and the September 11th Crisis
Americans were uniformly shocked by the lethal ferocity of the September 11 attacks. Around the world, people and governments were appalled at the human carnage and extended unstinting sympathy-but many made it clear that their sympathy for the victims did not equal support for Washington's response to the terror attacks. Before & After examines the role of US foreign policy in the terrorism/anti-terrorism crisis that began-publicly-with the attack on the World Trade Center, but which in fact has roots that began long before that September day. It dissects not only the specific Middle East policies long identified with public opposition in the region (for example: support for Israeli occupation of Palestinian land, economic sanctions responsible for widespread deaths of Iraqi civilians, and support for repressive monarchies and dictatorships throughout the Arab world), but also provides context to these issues and the legacy of US unilateralism. Washington's contempt for international law as well as its disdain for the United Nations, are seen internationally as evidence of the US upholding a law of empire from which the rest of the world is excluded. Paramount is the creation of a US-forced "coalition" to wage a brutal war against an already impoverished and disempowered people, instead of a truly international cooperative effort to find and bring to justice the perpetrators of this crime against humanity. In light of this attitude, Before & After traces the decisions made by the Bush administration in the wake of the September 11 attacks, analyzes the choices ignored, the options discarded, and the international laws violated-and the likely consequences.

I set 8000/44300 manually on the MBL and I also get the "Connected (Relay connection established)
Port forwarding failed to connect on port 8000 and port 44300 . (Error 31526)" error.
Ports are correctly forwarded as I can check using, for instance http://web-sniffer.net/, and connect to http://22.214.171.124:8000/ (220.127.116.11 is, at the time of writing, my external IP address) - the result of this connection is "HTTP/1.1 200 OK" - and I can see also the page returned) which prove it works.
So why do I (do we) get the Error 31526 message?
Regards, Pierre
Check if the link below helps.
@Alucardx -Thanks for your reply. I checked the post in reference but it does not apply -I am indeed attempting to forward HTTP/HTTPS ports (no FTP involved here) -btw. in port forwarding for HTTP(S) the type=BOTH is useless, as far as I am aware, HTTP(S) are TCP-only protocols. Anyway, tried it too for safety but doesn't work better.Any otheridea?
Yes I am having the same problem using a Billion router this is what I have set up. I also tried HTTPS TCP get same problem
This appears in Settings/remote access/configure
connection status
Connected (Relay connection established)
Port forwarding failed to connect on port 8080 and port 8443 . (Error 31526)
Connection Options:
Anybody got any ideas?
I can confirm that I am also recieving this error!
After awhile of leaving it alone it atuomatically changed to "Connected".
I did a test, I port forwarded 80 AND 8081 to 80 and 443 AND 8443 to 443, then directed it all towards my MyBook which has a static IP within my network.
I have port forwarded the first ports correctly, and I know this because I have checked manually via http://externalipaddress:80 and https://externalipaddress:443 and they both det a "/UI" at the end with permission denied.
I did the following.
1) Windows and Router Firewalls are OFF
2) Checked ports 8443, 443 and 8081, 80 via a third party program/site and confirm that the ports are open,
3) "http://myexternalipaddress:80" redirects me to "myexternalipaddress/UI"
4) "https://myexternalipaddress:443" redirects me to "https://myexternalipaddress/UI"
5) "https://myexternalipaddress:8443" redirects me to "https://myexternalipaddress:8443/UI"
6) "http://myexternalipaddress:8081", I receive a "Google Chrome could not connect to "myexternalipaddress:8081"
Is it 6) that everyone could be getting this problem?
The settings in my MyBook live for port forwarding are atm 8081 and 8443 and stating "connected". I however get the followign error page when I try to connect via wd2go.com:
HTTP Status 404 - TCP relay failed - address for target domain not found
type Status report
message TCP relay failed - address for target domain not found
description The requested resource (TCP relay failed - address for target domain not found) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/6.0.32
I get 404 error also via my Mobile App via my Android.
Any pointers?
I also encountered the exact same problems as karlm. However after so much playing around I finally figured out a solution that works for me. I hope this works for everyone else, at least at this point its worth a try .
After following the instructions wd2go I finally decide to change the entire setup.
Do not forward any ports in your router
Enable UPnP on your router ( I think most or all Routers support this) check your router manual if unsure)
Access your dashboard "settings > Remote Access > check Automatic from the connection options dropdown
Disable your Remote Access by unchecking "Remote Access" check box
Restart MyBookLive via settings > Utilities > Reboot/Shut Down > click "Reboot Device"
Once device is rebooted re-enable your device access following step 4.
Assuming steps 1 to 6 have gone through successfully you should now see "Connected"
Port forwarding connection established.
* to be sure that this will all work lets clear some cache and change some Java options
Clear your browser cache(this should be pretty straight forward)
Clear your java cache by accessing your control panel > Java > General Tab > settings> click on Delete files button
Delete any related certificates via control panel > Java > Security Click Certificates Button > highlight and click remove to remove unwanted certificates.
Ok now you are ready to try accessing your network drive via www.wd2go.com
Also this might help if you are having java error issues
Make sure you have the latest version of Java installed here
make sure you have the following unchecked

Cats Prospect G David Shantz Advances to Memorial Cupby Staff Writer / Florida Panthers
SUNRISE, Fla. – Florida Panthers prospect G David Shantz and his Peterborough Petes squad advanced to the Memorial Cup, after clinching the Ontario Hockey League title with a four-game sweep of the London Knights. The Petes won the J. Ross Robertson Cup as the OHL champions for the ninth time, after going 10-0 at home during the playoffs.
Shantz, 20, has played in all 19 games for the Petes during the playoffs, posting a 16-3 mark with a 2.61 GAA and a .925 save percentage. Peterborough faces the Quebec Remparts in the first game of the round-robin competition on Friday, May 19 (a complete schedule can be found below). It marks the first Memorial Cup appearance of his junior career.
The Hamilton, Ontario native appeared in 49 regular season contests with Peterborough posting a 31-16-1 mark with a 2.87 GAA. He was originally drafted by Florida with its second choice (37th overall) in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft.
Since 1919 the Memorial Cup has been awarded to Canada's National Junior Champions. This prestigious and storied trophy will be presented for the 87th time this year in Moncton, N.B. Current Panthers who have won the Memorial Cup include Juraj Kolnik (Quebec-2000), Gregory Campbell (Kitchener-2003) and Gary Roberts (Guelph-1986).
The names on the Memorial Cup include many of hockey's greatest builders, coaches, managers and players. Thirty one members of the Hockey Hall of Fame have had their names engraved on the Memorial Cup including players like Guy Lafleur, Andy Bathgate, Harry Howell, Bobby Bauer, Ted Lindsay, Bernie Parent, Red Kelly and Toe Blake. Lionel Conacher, Canada's Athlete of the First Half Century, was a member of the Toronto Canoe Club's winning team in 1920. Conacher was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1961. Builders of the game such as Father David Bauer, Scotty Bowman, Sam Pollack, Glen Sather and Frank Selke were members of Memorial Cup winning teams.

In July 2013, the World Bank began investigating whether its $1.4 billion investment in Ethiopia's Promoting Basic Services Project (PBS) is resulting in the "villagization" (forced relocation) of Indigenous Peoples. According to the Ethiopian government, the project is a voluntary process aiming to "increase access to basic services, improve food security, and bring socioeconomic and cultural transformation."
Anuak communities are alleging that the project is resulting in forced population transfers and human rights violations, and that they are being removed from their fertile, ancestral lands to make way for foreign investment. This violates Bank policies which require "free, prior, and informed consultation leading to broad community support" from Indigenous Peoples relocated by Bank-funded projects.
Also in July 2013, the International Finance Corporation (IFC) began auditing its $18.2 million investment in Eco Oro Minerals (TSE:GSL) for a gold mine in the high altitude wetlands of Colombia, to ensure compliance with its Performance Standards. Indigenous communities are claiming that the mine will rupture fragile ecosystems and pose security risks to the region.
This article was originally published in the Corporate Monitor by First Peoples Worldwide, a nonprofit focused on funding local development projects in Indigenous communities across the world.

Rolling Stones Reveal 'Some Girls' Reissue Tracklist
Track names have been announced for the upcoming re-release of the Rolling Stones' 1978 album 'Some Girls.' The album will include 12 unreleased songs recorded instrumentally at the time, with vocals recently added to many of them by Mick Jagger. The 'Some Girls' sets are due Nov. 21.
First up is the Deluxe Edition, which will consist of one CD including the original 'Some Girls' in remastered form, plus a second disc of the previously mentioned dozen reworked songs. "I've just been in the studio finishing some outtakes from 1978," Jagger recently told the German network ZDF last month. "They're going to be released [on] a re-release of 'Some Girls.' So these are going to be some 10 extra tracks [actually 12] from that time [that] were never released. Some of them had no vocals, so I had to do the vocals again."
Those same two discs will also be featured on the Super Deluxe Edition, plus a CD single featuring 'Beasts of Burden' with the B-side 'When the Whip Comes Down.' Also included in the Super Deluxe set is a special collector's edition book, a postcard set, a photo print by photographer Helmut Newton and a tour poster.
Also available will be a vinyl edition of 'Some Girls,' which will be remastered but not will not come with any of the extra music featured on the deluxe edition. Check out details of all the various formats here.
These releases come hot on the heels of the theatrical screening of 'Some Girls Live In Texas,' a live documentary chronicling a 1978 Stones concert in Ft. Worth, Texas. That movie will be shown in select theaters Tuesday (Oct. 18) and released on Blu-Ray and DVD on Nov. 21, the same day that the 'Some Girls' sets hit stores.

The addition of a turbocharged four-cylinder engine gives Buick's compact sedan some unexpected muscle. Overall, the new-for-2013 Verano turbo model adds some excitement to the lineup without compromising the car's refinement, Cars.com reviewer Kelsey Mays says. Watch out for the manual transmission, however. Mays says to skip the Verano's stubborn and clunky six-speed.

Gracenote has responded to the issue involving their latest single "Taciturn" which is currently on the MYX charts!
The controversy began when Joseph Atilano of Inquirer.net posted an article noting that Gracenote's song sounds "eerily similar" to a 2012 song by Canadian indie rock band Metric!
Listen to "Taciturn" by Gracenote and "Youth Without Youth" by Metric below:
Video Courtesy: GracenoteTV
Video Courtesy: MetricVEVO
Last July 28, Gracenote addressed Atilano through an open letter which was posted on the website of Soupstar Entertainment!
The OPM band attributed the similarity to the "shuffle beat/pattern which is widely used in music regardless of genre" - citing Gary Glitter's "The Hey Song" (1972), Rivermaya's "Alab ng Puso" (2002), and Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" (2008) as examples.
Video Courtesy: CapitolMusic
The band wrote: "Now, does this mean that Katy Perry also "crossed the line" in writing "I Kissed a Girl" and lifted it from Rivermaya's "Alab ng Puso Song"? Or could have Metric "crossed the line" in writing "Youth Without Youth" by lifting it from Gary Glitter's song "Rock and Roll"? We hope not and we think not."
They also maintained that it was just a "coincidence" and their producer Ryan Sarmiento "is not familiar with Metric's song." (You can read Gracenote's open letter in its entirety HERE.)
Last May, we caught up with Gracenote during their video shoot for "Taciturn"! Check out what they had to say about the song in the MYXclusive video below!
What's your stand on the issue? Tell us in the comments!
Non-sense lang to dahil marami ang naniniwala sa Gracenote and I am proud to say that I am one of them. Don't you ever try to put them down dahil hindi ito ang makakasira sa kanila. Minahal namin ang musika nila simula pa man nung umpisa.
First of all, it is natural that there are songs having a similar beat or pattern dahil nga limited lang yung mga notes in order to produce music. Kaya may mga instances na accidentally lang yun. Kilala ko ang Gracenote at saksi ako kung gano sila kagaling magperform at marami na ding nainspire dahil sa mga songs nila. Proud ako dahil isa ako sa mga yun. So, kung yung 3 songs na minention na may pareho na tunog, ibigsabihin lang nun na di talaga maiiwasan yun. Sa dinami dami ba naman ng music na
same beat atfirst.but not the entire song,yes different lyrics but not really eerily similar to YWY.Though it is difficult to come to a definition of what is "similarity.#NoHate #JustLove
I respect that this journalist(Joseph Atilano) is just doing his job but maybe before accusing the band or saying offensive things, he could have considered that there are assumingly thousands of songs created with similar beats or patterns and i think that it is natural in the music industry. quoting what gracenote said. "That's because there are only a limited number of notes in music that you can build up to produce patterns and arrangements"
next is there are many differences between the two songs. I will not state it one by one, you could look it up into gracenote's article. but mostly why hate? They entertain people and they make it to the charts because obviously people love the song. they contributed to OPM and mostly they inspire people especially their fans.

Since he was interviewed, David Wade has been calling. He wants to know when an article about his self-published book will be printed, and what I think of his work. Sometimes he phones once a week, sometimes more: the owner of Miss Fleiss escort agency (no connection to the infamous Heidi) is persistent about promoting himself.
The unattributed claim on the back of Millionaires & Models, the book Wade spent $50,000 publishing, is that it will be "one of the best-selling books of all times and a must read for all budding students in the philosophy of prostitution. Perhaps it may even become a classic studied in all universities and colleges."
Perhaps. A Dymocks publicist earlier this month confirmed moderate sales of about 100 copies since October.
Millionaires & Models details Wade's nine years as the owner of a Sydney agency. He calls his book a "true confession" and a "man's point of view" about the prostitution industry. It contains pornographic passages, chapters about his battle with testicular cancer, the making of a television pilot about his book, and his affair with one of his call girls.
What makes the book intriguing are the particulars of the call girls' world. How he "trains" them, what they wear for appointments, the tricks they use to extend their engagements, the assertion that many of the most successful workers are lesbians, and the amount of money a working prostitute can earn. It's a case of digging for details among the repetition, the seeming lack of structure, and the spelling and grammatical errors which litter his book.
The 50-year-old former policeman answers the door of the Chippendale terrace where he runs his agency. Wade is a beefy man with a pink face and carrotty hair, who carries himself like a bodybuilder.
Regardless of my questions, he yanks the conversation back towards the topics he's obsessed with: testicular cancer, which he suffered when he was 28; his prostitutes as "empowered women", "consummate entertainers" and "Western geishas"; and the fact that no commercial publisher in Australia will touch his manuscript.
"I started writing in January of [last] year," Wade says. "It was in a dark period of my life and I thought I'd finally write and tell my perspective from a male's point of view."
As Wade talks, he paints himself as part fantasy peddler, part therapist, part businessman. On one hand, he seems proud that he hears the sexual problems of the "wealthiest men in the world". On the other, he describes himself as not only revealing the truth about men to women, but also listening to men with problems, and helping couples with their ailing relationships.
None of the "Western geishas" is in his agency this afternoon. The ground floor in the sleek terrace is moodily lit, with black-and-white photos of his prostitutes in model poses on the wall. A sign on the wall says the women "must wear hats and gloves to a booking".
The hats and gloves, Wade says, are part of the working persona his employees are required to create. In his book, he explains how he teaches his employees to construct a fictional identity which is only worn when in character. "They get in trouble if they allow the man into here," Wade says, tapping his temple. "As soon as they allow the man into here" - he's tapping his temple again - "they are fucked."
Because, he says, the fantasy of prostitution is nothing to do with real life. He's shocked clients, he explains, by telling them that their favourite escorts were gay.
"They said, 'You're kidding, they were lesbians?' And I said, yes, certainly, they got their girlfriend and did a bi-double and you watched. The men know they're lesbians, but will quickly use the term bisexual," he says.
Behind the fantasy, of course, is the all-important commercial transaction. Wade says the women are, obviously, in it for the money. Wade takes a 50 per cent cut on the bookings, which he says can run to $3000 an hour, depending on the client.
He describes one of his employees: a medical student who, since her father became sick, is supporting her younger siblings and paying her university fees working for Miss Fleiss. When I ask Wade if he finds this depressing, his face darkens.
"It's her decision. I am not upset for her, I am glad that she's got the ability to make this decision," he says, indignant. "And she will move on. She will be a doctor.
"I've seen them come here, being promised the world by people who let them down, done a portion of their lives as Samantha, and gone on and done great things. I've put so many girls through university. If society's not paying your bills, they have no right to judge."
I take his point, but I reiterate: I didn't say it was "wrong"; I asked if it was depressing. At that, Wade seems to shrink physically like he's had the air sucked out of him, and for a moment there's a glimpse of the man underneath the man bent on promoting himself.
"Life is depressing, when you think about it," Wade says.

The judge's decision, which was made public Saturday, upheld section 375 of the Indian Penal Code, which does not recognize "sexual intercourse by a man with his own wife, the wife not being under fifteen years of age," as rape.
Last October, a Delhi woman filed a complaint against a man she accused of drugging her, abducting her and taking her to Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, to register their marriage. Afterward, she told the court, he raped her.
The judge in the case wrote that there was "no clinching or convincing evidence on record to show that the accused had administered any stupefying substance."
The man accused in the case said the couple was married in 2011 at the woman's home in Delhi in the presence of her family, and that they had decided to register with the court only last year on the insistence of the woman. He also said, according to court documents, that the rape complaint was filed by the woman under pressure from her family members, who were not in favour of their marriage.
The ruling in the case was issued by a special fast-track court established after a December 16, 2012, gang rape that sparked widespread protests and led to growing demands for better laws to prevent violence against women.
Last March, the Indian parliament passed a series of amendments to enact stricter penalties for crimes against women but overlooked a longstanding demand by women's rights activists to make marital rape a crime.
Viranda Gover, a lawyer and human rights activist, said the evidence in the Ghaziabad case forces courts "to reckon with the fact that there is forced sex in marriage and it is not hunky dory." The emergence of similar cases, she said, will strengthen the argument for criminalizing marital rape.
It is not the first time an order by the presiding judge, Virender Bhat, has stoked controversy. In an order issued last October, Bhat's comments about girls engaging in premarital sex invited criticism from many quarters.
"Girls are morally and socially bound not to indulge in sexual intercourse before a proper marriage, and if they do so, it would be to their peril and they cannot be heard crying later that it was rape," he wrote in the judgment.
The comments were dismissed as "absurd," by a former chief justice of India, V.N. Khare.
