Summary of BMW Motorcycle Owners of America
Present: President Paul Glaves, Vice president Jim Shaw, Treasurer Rob Lentini, Secretary Deb Lower, and Directors Matt Parkhouse, Don Hamblin, Tom Harbrecht, and George Glascock. Ted Verrill was not present. Staff members present included senior staff Tammy Leuthauser and Marilyn Roberts. Volunteer staff present included Rally Chair and Ambassador Liaison Sue Rihn-Manke and Club Coordinator Greg Hutchinson. Contractors present included Consultant Ed Youngblood, Managing Editor Sandy Cohen, Art Director Michael Cohen, and Advertising Director Ray Monroe. Rally Site Search Committee members Don Faichney, Larry Stonestreet and Chick Morse were present, as well as a handful of other members.
The minutes of the April open board meeting were approved without corrections.
Sue Rihn-Manke, Ambassador Liaison, discussed a disagreement with the company that printed the Ambassador business cards, which will result in a higher printing cost than previously approved by the board.
Greg Hutchinson, Club Coordinator, reported that he is still receiving club renewals and that clubs that renewed late were not listed in the 2000 Anonymous book. The club history series is continuing in the BMW Owners News.
Jim Shaw reported that the BMW MOA Foundation (MOAF) trustees meeting, which was held the previous day, was a positive start and that the MOAF should grow with strength.
Rob Lentini, Consumer Liaison, says that the initial avalanche of complaints has settled down and that there are currently three active issues.
BMW MOAs Consultant, Ed Youngblood, discussed his recently submitted reports to the board: the third effort renewal letter and questionnaire project; an update of language on the Ambassador nomination form and in the Anonymous book; a plan for a new member survey; and board approval to begin planning a two day strategic planning meeting for board members, the new executive director, senior staff and key volunteer staff.
Treasurer, Rob Lentini, reported a good budget situation to date. Currently, BMW MOA is approximately $117,000 under budget. BMW MOAs assets exceed $1 million, which is a testimony to the success of the organization and a rise in the stock market.
New developments from the Operations Committee, reported by Chairperson Deb Lower, included a new staff training reimbursement request form.
The Publications Committee report included a report by Sandy Cohen regarding travel, installation of a DSL line in the editorial office, collections updates, national rally program revenue, a printable When & Where form on the web for local rally chairs, and a general state of the magazine report. Art Director, Michael Cohen, gave a report on computer-to-plate (CTP) technology and costs; the BMW Owners News could change to CTP as soon as this fall. The BMW Owners News became completely digital as of the July issue.
Advertising Director, Ray Monroe, reported that 1999 was his best income year and this year is running about $26,000 ahead of last year.
New business included a presentation by Michael Mandell about a new insurance opportunity for members. He discussed demographics, costs, discounts and history of his insurance offering, which can be found exclusively on the Internet at www.bmwcycleinsurance.com, and requested endorsement by BMW MOA. President Paul Glaves referred the issue to the Operations Committee to be considered at a later time.
For foreign riders who do not benefit from the magazine, Canadian member, Helmut Haus, requested consideration of a reduced rate membership that does not include the magazine. Paul Glaves referred the issue to the Publications Committee.
The 2001 National Rally location was announced as Redmond, Oregon, July 19-22.
The open meeting was recessed, to continue in executive session.
In executive session, Steve Cantrill and Bob and Mary Lindell were appointed as BMW MOAs newest Ambassadors. Gray Buckley was appointed as Rally Chair for the 2001 national rally in Redmond, OR.
Summary composed by Marilyn Roberts, reviewed and approved by BMW MOA Secretary, Deb Lower.

Thanks
haha lucky for you, comicvine already has a list of all his appearances. it's not in chronological order but it's still pretty sweet. hope that helps!
I've done this list already. It's not 100% complete, as I haven't done New 52 or Elseworlds, but I went through Comic Vine (made a few adjustments based on my own knowledge), and typed it up.

It's no secret that enthusiasts have been trying (with some success) to get Apple's operating systems to run on standard PCs. With Apple's switch to Intel processors, the attempts to get Mac OS X running on non-Apple branded hardware became even more popular — and there was no more need to have an emulator running.
In the last year, several attempts at getting OS X to run on standard PC hardware were being tackled by two companies that offered to sell Mac clones. The first was Psystar, which is now in a legal battle with Apple. Psystar actually claims that it has the upper hand in the case, although we doubt that it would walk away from the court room hands free.
The other company, which launched in Europe, was Open System. This company however, didn't last very long, looked shady, and offered to sell itself in whole for a measly $50,000. Obviously the intent was to create hype for a lost cause and then sell off the idea, make a quick buck, and disappear.
The unfortunate problem with both these companies — one of them obviously questionable — is that they both attempt to circumvent the Apple EULA. Both companies tried to sell fully built systems that bundled with hacked versions of OS X Leopard, essentially selling Mac clones, and as we all know, there aren't any licensed makers of Mac clones.
Then a small company came along and introduced something called the EFiX. A small USB-based device, the EFiX connects to a motherboard's internal USB header, and transforms it into a nearly authentic Mac system. By nearly, we mean the EFiX actually tricks a retail copy of Leopard into thinking that it's been installed on a real Mac. With this setup, users don't have to patch their operating systems nor do they have to worry about crippling their setup due to a system update from Apple.
The simple installation process accompanied with the reassurance that everything runs as it does on real Mac hardware, makes things really attractive for those who want to avoid the costs of buying Apple hardware but want to run Leopard.
I had the chance to sit down with Davide Rutigliano, CEO of Art Studios Entertainment, the company behind the EFiX device. I questioned him on the legality of the product as well as many technical aspects on just how the device works. Read on.

4Anonymous , September 22, 2008 8:19 PMPricing?! Availability?
I would hope its priced fairly reasonable considering one would also need to purchase a copy of OSX.
Look forward to it!
-6cruiseoveride , September 22, 2008 9:00 PMQuote:Apple must have what belongs to them.
What the hell does that mean?
Why PC users want to even imitate Apple is so humiliating.
And the whole "avoiding the EULA" seems very Napster. And we all know what happened to that. Or when the Florida state wanted to reduce drug abuse, they didnt go around taking drugs from users, instead they went to the supplier and shut them down.
Why would the "liquid cooled" modder, ever want to run OSX? or Linux even for that matter? None of them would even have i2c drivers for the 101 sensors on the hardware. And needless to say that, the most sophisticated 3D application you will ever run would be the screensaver. It would be like buying a BMW M5 just to listen to the radio. It doesn't make sense.
Windows users that want to use OSX really need to wake up. Regardless of the lack of 3rd party hardware compatibility, how long are you going to stare at iLife. For each OSX app, there is a thousand more Windows applications, and a million more Linux applications. Yes some smart ass will come in and argue, Quality/Quantity. And if that is your only retort, you deserve to use OSX on a PC.
Multi-billion dollar companies like IBM dont turn their entire business around to pursue Linux and open source related projects, because they think its "cool". They probably have more people in management analysing growth options in open source, than EFiX and Toms Hardware have in the entire company.
Linux has always had everything OSX has. And Windows for that matter, haha you cant even have multiple file locks yet! Linux has supported that since day 1 (over 15years ago), just an example to the extent at which Windows is behind. OSX is pretty shitty too, they took an old version of BSD and hacked it to death. The underlying operating system hardly resembles BSD anymore. So if you think a watered down version of BSD, with a body kit, is cool, enjoy. After all ignorance is bliss.
OSX And Windows are both playing "copy the coolest", When Reebok tried to copy Nike, they lost $100 million in net worth.
If there does exist a person who "liquid cools" and wants to run OSX on his/her PC, please show us some evidence Mr EFiX.
Oh and.... Linux rules!
0chaohsiangchen , September 22, 2008 9:19 PMI say that Apple Corporation will sue whoever make and sell EFiX very soon after they find it even remotely popular. Software is protected by both copy-right and patent law. If they can't sue for violating EULA, they will find the other way to sue them into bankruptcy. It is likely that EFiX contain BIOS code from Apple Corporation. Overpriced hardware is the only reason that Apple Corporation's stock price is that high ($131.05 at the moment, down from $154 a month ago).
Other than that, Apple Corporation can still be a total ass, if they aren't enough already, and issue renewed Leopard update with a hidden BIOS refresh to get around the USB booting device. That refresh might kill any none-Mac mobo running Leopard. And then you need another new version EFiX to deal with it after the mobo returned from RMA, if it's not forced out of business by Apple Corporation at that time. You think it's impossible that Apple Corporation can be a total ass to do that? Then think again. They just released iTune update to Windows with hidden driver update that will cause lock ups and BSOD on Windows Vista 64. The speedy withdraw of that faulty software makes me even more suspicious of Apple Corp.'s motive on the whole event.
There are cheap macs, such as MacBook with 1GB RAM ($1049 on newegg.com) and Mac Mini. Well, it's "cheap" to people who, according to Sen. John Biden, should pay more tax for patriotism, which I totally agree. I am totally fine with $50 AMD Athlon 4850e and $50 HTPC board that I got from ebay and newegg as my tvpvrtypewritingspreadsheeter. Just try getting cheaper than this, and I might get interested.
0ilovebarny , September 22, 2008 9:47 PMmm i like it. Ive always wanted to try macs but i dont really need a mac. this might provide an alternative.
1chaohsiangchen , September 22, 2008 9:54 PMMadGoatPricing?! Availability? I would hope its priced fairly reasonable considering one would also need to purchase a copy of OSX. Look forward to it!~MG~
You know that installing OSX on none-Mac, or "not Apple-labeled machines" is direct violation of Apple EULA, right? Like it or not, use it at your own risk.
I've read from overclock.net that they will sell this thing for $150 a piece. Windows Vista Ultimate OEM is $178 on newegg, and linux is always for free. So buying this thing plus a copy of Leopard is like paying retail version of Vista Ultimate.
3bydesign , September 22, 2008 10:08 PMWhy, it's not all that stable on a Mac and they know what hardware they're working with. I suppose it supports my argument that Apple people aren't productive members of society.
3BallistaMan , September 22, 2008 10:20 PMI'm probably one of the few people here who grew up on a Mac and ended up switching to Windows. Originally it was out of necessity - half of the games I enjoyed couldn't be run on OS7, 8, etc. Now I wouldn't switch back.
Honestly, as nice as OSX may be, once Apple became popular, everything went downhill. Old Macs were fun because they had their unique quirks. Now that they're the "hip" thing they pretty much lost most of their potential to be the "best" thing.
As for this little device. I like the concept and I think it'll open up some interesting doors provided Apple doesn't sue it on sight (something which I'm unfortunately expecting), but I doubt *I* will have much use for it. I've used OSX plenty at work, discovered it's not compatible at all with my computing style (who on earth thought that GUI intuitive? Limited maybe...) and that's enough for me.
0enforcer22 , September 22, 2008 10:45 PMactualy paying the retail price for vista is about double that, That is the OEM price. Mac OS would be for me like buying something i leave in a box and sit in a shelf somewhere since i cant do a damn thing i want to do with it. Linux for me is almost as bad but at least i wouldnt have to pay for it. So personaly i would rather buy the windows OS since i never have to think "will this do what i want? will the hardware or software i want work on it?" I know im one of the few that looks at $300 knowing im buying this for about 5 years and doesnt see much cost but hey thats logic for ya. Sorry EFix i have a operating system thats stable only crashed when my memory went bad and doesnt requier vary specific hardware that wont run anything i want to run with the quality i want it run at.
But yeah i see this getting sued out of exsistance really fast though i do like the idea. Booting other os's from a thumb drive to toy around has always been fun.
To the guy up there boasting about linux you got it backwords. though not entierly true it should be millions of windows apps and thousands of linux apps. One thing you cannot say is either have more programs or more support then windows. and i think you took the artical wrong i believe he said the target isnt the people with the OC'ed fridge cooled pc's since they wouldnt be interested.
IBM and other companys switched to linux for 2 good reasons. #1 cost of operation. #2 they got sick of microsfts vary limiting licences.
3Anonymous , September 22, 2008 11:05 PMI have to disagree with EnFoRceR22, as an engineering student i use computers every day...and i run a whole range of apps, I started using Linux about a month ago and my biggest problem so far has been deciding which app to use, there are just so many of them. Sure windows (which i use for gaming only now) has just as many apps but only a limited selection in each category that are really good. I haven't been using Linux long enough to know the good / bad ratio of apps yet but i'm sure it will be the same as windows a few good ones in each category and they will be the ones i end up using. As for OS X *shrug i don't see the point.....my Linux with compiz is better looking and really really stable and super easy to use (i was surprised)
1crinosil , September 22, 2008 11:06 PMCan you say con job?? The EFix are in the mail!!! LOL!!!
2Tindytim , September 22, 2008 11:35 PMThis has been possible since Mac OSX 10.3. All you need is WMware and an install disc. Haven't used it because it's rather pointless with an XP + Ubuntu x64 multiboot.
2JonathanDeane , September 23, 2008 1:47 AMI await the hacked version that I can just toss on any old thumb drive... lol kidding I would think about this for putting it on my kids PC (they use Vista for the time being....) might be easy enough for them to use yet still avoid most of the windows/myspace virus crap.

Maybe you want to check this:
Yeah, it's old news, but Mac isn't anywhere more secure than, say, Ubuntu. I'd rather give kids Ubuntu so that they might develop useful skill such as script, python or perl programming.
-2v12v12 , September 23, 2008 3:29 AMSounds like a nice idea, but a little too late esp with the rising cost of OS's and hardware etc.
A few points of noteworthiness:
1) The Linux zealot at the start: Buddy, unfortunately what your self-proclaimed "superior" OS does NOT offer is a decent learning curve. It takes a hardcore (usually zealous) user to be even semi-proficient in Nix. Also, the Nix community of users (ones that are proficient) are of EXTREME "RTFM" type. I'm a SR Tech at a major .edu and nothing is more frustrating than dealing with the no-life, stereotypical looking, acting, and haughty-attitude having Nix user(s). As if they are some Jedi-Knight of computer usage. Yes you may have "superior" skills with Nix, BUT you're the last guy ANYONE wants to converse with outside of work (and sparingly there also), the last guy to get invited to any holiday parties, and certainly and none the least, the VERY LAST guy going out and enjoying themselves with other humans, esp the female variety. HAHA Yes, HA - HA - HA, so pick your ego up at the coat check. Noob.
2) These other so-called "watered down" OS's have USER FRIENDLINESS, however unstable or buggy they maybe, still the point DOMINATES any self-alleged "superiority" of your chosen OS. And this point has made these two inferior OS's a multi-BILLION dollar industry, while your day-dream of Jedi-dominance ends in a dorm room, or a cold, secluded, isolated server cave... so as you would tell us "noobs" to RTFM, we can tell you to STFU and go back to monitoring servers.
I hate to be nasty, but this whole "*my* OS is superior than yours is" pure asinine. These guys made a really neat invention and their efforts should be applauded. Maybe THEY will be the ones to bridge the divide in future efforts. I hope so; I'm tired of the limitations of Windows and the overpriced control of Jobs... An OS with an acquisition of both OSs positives would so be welcomed, but alas—either side is too greedy to allow such a logical merger to be borne.
2harrycat88 , September 23, 2008 5:42 AMIf I was forced to run only one OS, that would be linux. Linux is superer to both OSX and VISTA. When I installed Fedora Core on my system, I didn't have to download or even install 1 driver. The Gnome GUI is amazing when the Gnome effects are enabled. It makes Microsoft's areoglass look like a cheap polar treak. And what's really nice about linux, is, it has a program called WINE that allows you to run most Windows based applications and even Direct X 10 based games without going through all that BS with Vista driver support. And the thing that amazed me the most was I was able to run a DirectX 10 game with a Dual core processor, an ATI AGP video card and a Nforce 3 motherboard without getting a stupid code 43 error.
-1v12v12 , September 23, 2008 6:15 AMHey I don't have any hate toward Nix in itself, but I do not like the community supporting it: The typical high school nerdling version of a "bully." "I'm smarter than you, I know nix, blah blah..." RTFM is all I see in most of these forums. MANY people don't have neither the time nor the patience, heck and or sense of "direction." We're humans, not machines, so if something doesn't come easy, to even a PC enthusiast, should they be scorned?
Everyone LOVES deflecting my stereotypical statements regarding Nix users, BUT if you all weren't BS'ing then the, grubby, smart assed IRC-Nix chan op/forum user wouldn't have that nasty little "RTFM" connotation attach to them now would they? Just like if I said "most dogs are friendly..." that's b/c majority of them ARE, while not all, MOST are. And most adv Nix users are stereotypical "nerds," aka unpleasant to converse with, socially-impatient with others, and have superiority complexes. Give it up Nix users, your OS isn't going anywhere, it's going to stay confined to the server and grubby nerdling sector unless YOUR attitudes change regarding the less technically adept.
I personally run it, play around with it sparingly, why? B/c I have no need to invest time into seriously learning it. My antiquated XP is stable enough for my usage, requires little or no interaction with said type of users and runs games great... Oh and I don't give a jack shat about stupid arse fancy visual distractions like Beryl/Aero/OSX etc. Give me a stripped down Win2000 looking platform to launch appz. Therefore it's simple and easy. Hacks, viruses? HAHA what a f'ing joke. I haven't had either of them in +10yrs (before even XP) b/c I'm a SMART user—Duh. Nix isn't superior to anything to me, b/c I don't need it atm (that's MY reality, not opinion). Maybe I will switch, but until it's necessary, I'd rather have a life outside of my computer and help forums... Ciao. Hrmm wait… I do like playing around in BacktrackIII quite often, so I guess I do support it! Hahha… |-|8erz!

Being editor of Rod & Custom puts me in an elite group of 14 men to have held the reins of this magazine, but I now belong to an even more elite group of just three, along with Bud Bryan and Tom Medley, as we've all had the displeasure of penning editorials letting readers know that their favorite magazine will be no more. Wow, that's some pretty cool company right there, but for the wrong reason!
While Bud Bryan had to tell you the news in 1971, when R&C was given its own space within Hot Rod for almost a year, it was publisher Tom Medley who revealed the magazine's demise in 1974, after R&C's brief resurrection in July 1972. And now it's my turn. While many of you will have read online and known for a while now that what was Source Interlink Media, now re-branded as TEN: The Enthusiast Network, has called time on Rod & Custom, we know some of you aren't computer-savvy and rely on good old ink 'n' paper to bring you your fix.
Becoming editor of Rod & Custom was a personal dream come true for me, albeit a too-brief tenure. Unfortunately, I won't now have the opportunity to subject you to my thoughts on subjects such as supposedly period-correct builds using radial tires, alternators and the like, the eternal "Built Not Bought" argument, my opinion on which differs greatly from my immediate predecessor, or to bring you some great stories I had planned, including revisiting Gray Baskerville and Jerry Kugel's "Duel of Deuces" from 1972, using the exact same pair of '32 roadsters, or recreating Bob Hirohata's "Kross Kountry In A Kustom" from 1953 once my '49 Chevy is finished. You will be able to read the final installment of my Bonneville race car, and later this year, the conclusion of the Purple Pig '49 Chevy project in STREET RODDER magazine, which has absorbed R&C, and where you'll find my byline from now on.
More than anything, I'll miss what has long been my favorite magazine, whether as a staff member or a reader. I'll miss working with a great team: Aaron Kahan, our art director, who's done so much for the appearance and "feel" of R&C over the past decade; and Sarah Gonzales, our patient and long-suffering managing editor, who even now is waiting for this very late editorial. I'll also miss the connection with readers, which recently has taken the form of emails answering the questions I've posed in my editorials. I'm going to miss a lot, and I know you will too. Thank you each and every one for your support over the years. Who knows, maybe R&C will rise from the ashes once again someday. Until then, I'll see you out on the road, or at an event. I'll be easy to spot; I'll be the one wearing a Rod & Custom T-shirt!

We walked into Italian Tomato at approximately 5:52pm today (a Saturday night) and the restaurant was strangely quiet. We were greeted by a bubbly waitress who informed us that ALL the tables were booked and we would have to sit at the bar (note: make reservations even if you're going as a party of 2, or expect to be seated at the bar and having the bartender play the role of your server). Quite surprised, we were reluctant to stay but eventually gave each other approving glances and accepted her offer. To be completely honest, Gabriel has been to this establishment a few times; perhaps a few too many times. Himself, along with his friends, probably come here once or twice a year because we usually forget about our past experiences eating at Italian Tomato. It's always the same: We start off extremely hungry, chow down the first few delicious bites, and then eventually fill up before half of the plates are gone! If you haven't heard about Italian Tomato yet, their portions are absolutely massive! One plate of pasta could easily feed three people but because of the minimum table charge, most people order one pasta dish each.
Complementary Bread (3.75/7)
The bread is simply just a cold baguette served with cold butter. When you try to spread the butter on, you end up with a layer of something that resembles cottage cheese. We ended up dipping the bread in the meat sauce later to make it more edible.
Mezza Luna with Linguine - $18.95 (3.75/7)
(diced chicken breast, bacon in a garlic cream sauce)
Before + After
This rating may be a bit harsh, but compared to other Italian restaurants such as Cin Cin, Italian Kitchen, and Zefferelli's, this honestly was not very good. The thick and heavy Alfredo sauce made the entire dish way too dense and it seemed like half a pound of butter was used. The linguine was still a bit chewy, as if they tried to cook it al dente but took it out way too early. While there were a few pieces of chicken (quite dry), it was hard to find any of the bacon at all.
Veneziana with Gnocchi (add $4 for gnocchi) - $17.95 (3.5)
(spicy Italian sausage, diced chicken breast, garlic in spicy tomato sauce)
Before + After
The gnocchi itself was mediocre but the sauce and meat did not really live up to our expectations. We've had much better elsewhere and probably won't be ordering this ever again. The sauce to pasta ratio was not up to par as there was an unnecessarily excessive amount of sauce, which totally drenched the entire dish.
The overall service was just OK. The bartender was a bit awkward and it took us a while to flag down a waiter. Diana isn't coming here ever again. Gabriel might though.
So naturally, we'd have leftovers, and this is what it looks like the following day:
A POOL of OIL! The moment we saw it, we felt our arteries clogging INSTANTLY! Please excuse all the caps lock, but you can probably imagine how APPALLED we were when we took this out of the microwave. Is it really necessary to use THIS much oil?! Pardon this stereotype, but even Chinese restaurants don't use THIS much oil (and we're Chinese, so we're used to eating food with copious amounts of oil). Hopefully the compost will be able to appreciate this. I'm sorry, Italian Tomato, you are a HUGE disappointment. In addition to everything we've said, did we mention how horrible the parking lot is? Yes, we should be thankful there's FREE parking, however, the lot is asking for a disaster waiting to happen. The exit is no where to be found, and the closest driveway out is one way. Onto the oncoming traffic. Why are there no signs informing anyone this?! Again, pardon the stereotype, but Italian Tomato is situated in the most awkward area in RICHMOND, the epitome city of HORRIBLE (Asian) drivers. Do you really expect them to know that that exit is one way? And yes, one may argue that some/most drivers in Richmond don't follow signage, but I'm sure a simple ARROW will suffice.

Founded in Southern California in 1985, TYR™ has since developed a reputation for high-quality products and equipment. TYR competition swimwear and triathlon gear have been a dominant force in their respective industries. The company is also known for its TYR goggles, swim apparel, triathlon wetsuits and a wide variety of swimming equipment.
TYR was the first company to introduce a pair of goggles designed to fit a woman's face (the TYR T-72). TYR was also responsible for the famous red bathing suits featured on the hit television series "Baywatch." TYR consults with current and former athletes when developing its products. Swimmers know that TYR is a leader in swimsuits, warm-up suits, and swim training equipment. The TYR Tracer Series is one of the most advanced technical suit lines on the market. The TYR Hurricane wetsuits and the TYR Torque collections include top-of-the-line suits for the competitive swimmer.
TYR has also moved into competitive running equipment. From running shirts to shorts, its apparel is designed with the runner in mind. Built with moisture wicking fabric and antimicrobial material, TYR running apparel is designed to give the athlete the most comfortable, dry clothing on the market.
The name "TYR" is derived from the Norse god of warriors, who is said to have embodied victory and glory. Much the same can be said about the athletes who started TYR. Executive Vice President, Steve Furniss, was an Olympian who competed in the 1972 and 1976 Summer Games, and captained the 76th U.S. Olympic Swim Team.

Will be indebted to Navdeep all my life: N.S.R. Prasad
Director N.S.R. Prasad, who has teamed up with actor Navdeep for upcoming Telugu comedy "Natudu", says he is grateful to Navdeep for agreeing to work with him despite his recent streak of failures.
Prasad, who has directed two Telugu films "Nireekshana" and "Shatruvu", hasn't had a single hit in his career yet.
"Nowadays more than the script, actors are bothered about a director's hits and flops. But Navdeep was an exception because he agreed to do the film because he loved my script. He wasn't bothered about my failures. I will be indebted to him all my life for that," Prasad told IANS.
The film has an unconventional story.
"He told me that he is taking a risk by doing this unconventional story, but he wanted some variety in his films. Hence he agreed to do it. I'm hoping the film will give me my much needed hit," he added.
"It is very courageous of Navdeep to even agree to do the film. The story revolves around a guy who trades relationships for a living. It's a very unconventional story," he said.
Produced by Ramesh Babu Koppula, the film is gearing up for release soon.

* Prices may differ from that shown
If you live in the 21st Century and have an internet connection then you've probably used WiFi. Gone are the days of plugging your computer into a socket in the wall, now all you need is to press your wireless button and away you go! Unfortunately this only works if you can get a bloody signal. If you live in the 21st Century and have used WiFi then you've probably used come to a point where you can't get a signal from your router. This can be due to a number of issues, insufficient output from the router itself, interference from other electronics or simply because the walls in your house are too thick to allow proper conduction of the signal. Whatever the reason for the dropped signal the good folk over at Netgear, the company that seems to produce 95% of the world's routers as far as I can see, have produced a booster box for your signal. The premise is simple, you have an ordinary router which outputs a signal, then you have a booster box which takes this signal and magnifies it, allowing you to surf the web further away from your router than usual.
My apartment is in a reasonably old building so the walls are pretty thick, which is fantastic for my heating bills and for noise complaints. It is like a sponge for WiFi signals however. My router is in my front room while about 35-40 feet away is my bed. Like most people I imagine I like to surf the web in bed, writing reviews for DooYoo and whatnot! The concrete blocks in my walls soak up the signal as it makes its way through and severely limit my connectivity while I'm in bed. This became a real pain for me as I can't stream movies or talk on skype without moving out to the front room. I was considering moving the router but then I figured I'd lose it in the front room! Thankfully an IT techie friend of mine suggested I use a "booster box". He happened to have one left over from a previous job so he gave it to me for the bargain price of a 6 pack of Heineken (I can't see anyone beating that price!) The model in question is the Netgear WN3000RP WiFi extender, a model which my research indicates is only available in the USA. No wonder he was happy to get rid of it!
The extender itself is a white box with two aerials and the standard american 2 pin plug. The box is around 10 x 7.5 x 5 cm in size so isn't too obtrusive on your wall. Using a travel adapter I quickly had the box up and running on a wall mounted socket in my bedroom. Despite my comfort with computers I have never really understood the intricacies of networking or even how a WiFi system works. Thankfully installing the box could not have been simpler. All I had to do was power up the box, hit the renew connection button on my router, then hit the connection button on the box itself and I was away. How this box seems to work is that it mimics your original network and gives you a new one with increased range. This means you don't have to setup any new passwords or anything. All I had to do was select the new network and put in my password, within minutes I was able to load up BBC player and stream to my hearts content! There didn't seem to be any change in speed on the network, nor was their any issues if my girlfriend was connected to the "original" network in the living room. I haven't done any specific testing of it mind but we both were streaming separate TV shows one evening and there was no lag in speed. This may differ on slower networks though I imagine.
Overall I'm quite happy with this booster box, it's solved my network problems overnight. The only real downside with it is the American style plug. I reckon it's probably not safe to remain using an American device on our power grid. There are similar netgear models available on Amazon for around 50 pounds which are designed for the British market, once I get some more DooYoo vouchers I'm going to splash out and buy one, just to ease my mind about the plug. Overall this is a great product that does exactly what it claims and does it without any fuss or complicated setup. An easy 5 stars.
The NETGEAR Universal WiFi Range Extender effectively doubles the operating distance of your entire wireless network and conveniently avoids additional need for power cables or device clutter on your office desk or home theater. WN3000RP extends your wireless network to include the area outside the range of your existing wireless router by overcoming obstacles and enhancing overall network signal quality, giving you the freedom to roam anywhere in the house and access Internet without worrying about coverage. The product was specifically designed to be plugged into an electrical outlet, and blends in nicely with any surrounding. It is compatible with wireless b/g/n routers, gateways and Internet service provider devices.

Once he felt we were ready to handle it, Tim opened up the Maricopa oval so we had the full track. This created a much more technical course that introduced not only two slight elevation changes, but also higher speeds through the corner, making proper braking and corner entry critical. We'll admit it; we did do a slow 180 once in the tight transition from the lake loop to the carousel.

THANKS very much for your support, Anna! ... and thanks too for checking out my profile pages!!! ;-D
Wow, THANKS, Esther and Katy for supporting the work in the back of my profile... I appreciate it immensely! BIG TIME YEEEAAAY!
Thanks, Bruce! This is the very first painting I made after I moved to Washington DC in 1984. I think all of the classical architecture, marble and granite in this city found its way into this work.
THANK YOU, Michael for digging through and supporting the backlog! It may not be new, but I believe it is still good work!
Bless you times a million, Cat, for going through my entire S6 profile and supporting everything I've posted! It's the rare folks like you and a few others that keep me hopeful and feeling that I'm doing something that's truly appreciated!
Thanks, Lindsey! I was just thinking that in a lot of ways, this painting from 1984 shares a lot of qualities with the new body of work that I'm engaged with now, The Accessories Series. ;-)
Love this exciting painting, Wayne! Fantastic balance of anima and animus shapes and drawings!*** from Christiane

In case you're wondering who Kim Kardashian's hot friend is ... well, it's her lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser!
Kim showed up at Wasser's office today, and we're told the two of them are gearing up for a divorce trial against Kris Humphries.
Our sources say Kim isn't even thinking about settling anymore, because Kris has made it clear he wants the case to drag on endlessly, so she spent hours with Wasser going over trial strategy.
As for when the trial will take place ... there's a trial setting conference set for Feb 15, and Wasser has made it clear she wants a trial in March.
If history repeats itself, Kris' lawyer will appear and say Kris needs more time to prepare. By our count this will be the 4th time Kris' lawyer made the delay argument. The judge has bought it 3 times, but we're guessing this time a trial date will be set.
As for reports that Kim is an emotional wreck because she doesn't want to have her baby while still legally married to Kris -- not so. We're told she's over the whole thing and just wants a divorce so she can get him out of her life.
Laura Wasser's fingers smelled like Kartrashian booty before she switched wide hipped panties.
I'm pretty sure the only person who calls that woman the "Disso-Queen" these days is Harvey. It's like a gross lawyer circle-jerk.
Is this more editorial ass kissing of the Kockrachian trollop by her main fan Mike? How many time has this ho delayed her depo?
I've looked at this photo 3 times and can't see any 'hot' women in it.
I think TMZ meant 'Hoe' not 'Hot'
KIM is putting the fetus at risk. Just because you can have children doesn't mean you should. Stop blaming other people for your problems.
TMZ do you even remember running a story about Kim searching for a man, which lead to Kim settling on Kris. Who was the other guy that knocked her back??? She was searching for a basketball player (influenced by Khloe -apparently because of Lomar and her break up with Reggie for the 000's time)? Have you seriously forgotten the questions surrounding the fake union !!!
TMZ I am big fan, but honestly how much money are you getting paid to kiss this piece of trash's big fat ass? Enough already.
dissolute? dissociated?
It's not a compliment...
i wonder how the fat disgusting fame whore, talentless gypsy tramp feels walking next to a truly beautiful woman... Must be killing Kim knowing that NOBODY would be watching her when she is with her Attorney except to be laughing at how disgusting Kim and her whole KRAPTRASHIAN family of gypsy tramps are. Now this is GREAT.
that chick's shoes are upstaging Kim's entire life
if you want him out of your life then give in to the annullment! SOUNDS LIKE KIM HAS A HIDDEN AGENDA OF HER OWN! WONDER HOW MANY TIMES SHE HAD TO CLAIM SHE COULDN'T DO THE DEPO BECAUSE OF HER WORK SCHEDULE.
Nice example ur setting for ur baby sisters n ur unborn child...its ok to marry ppl for money and Openly date another man n have another mans baby while ur still married wut world we liv in
Good....I hope this drags on and on and on. She's an idiot, fame whore, and had no business getting knocked up before everything was over and done with anyhow.

Modern communications demand a web presence to interface with the public. Business is streamlined using the web to collaborate. Your department needs different web sites for different goals.
Business Card Sites
This type of site serves as the public face of your department. This is best handled by the Institutional Web Site Content Management System (CMS).

James Smailes: Team spirit forged in Tenerife will stand Hull FC in good stead
Posted: January 09, 2013|
IT was Gareth Ellis who summed it up best during Hull FC's training camp in Tenerife when he said 'You just can't beat this sort of quality time together' whilst watching Peter Gentle take on his backs in a crossbar challenge.
Gentle will say he turned back the clock and showed his young guns how it's done, Ben Crooks and Danny Nicklas may argue differently. But it's that sort of time spent together outside of training which has been a big part of this last week.
From volleyball tournaments, to pool competitions, and a game of headers and volleys that saw Richard Whiting press his case should Hull City need a backup goalkeeper, the onus has been on the players having fun together. That fun has always come at the end of the day, though, after the hard work has been done.
A regular routine has consisted of a 7.30am breakfast followed by a walk up the hill to the club's training ground for a 90-minute session. Split into forwards and backs, the groups have been sent either to the gym or to the field to work on positional play with the coaching staff, before swapping over.

A cool down in the hotel pool is followed by lunch and team meetings. The players are then back out for a two-hour afternoon session where, with contact vests on, the players are put through match situations.
Alternating his players at regular intervals, it has been hard to get a feel for what Gentle sees as his side to start at Leeds in three weeks. It's a scenario which has kept everyone on their toes and heightened the intensity.
Looking at home and settled in the side, Daniel Holdsworth's contribution has been hard to ignore. His range of passing and his kicking game has been telling in the plays, but it's his constant talking and directions to those around him which has caught the eye.
Already filling the leadership role Gentle wanted him to, Holdsworth's direction will be a telling part of Hull's chances this year.
Shannon McDonnell is cut from a similar cloth. Yesterday, he walked the players through his own plays, which were practiced over and over until they became second nature.
Ellis and Ben Galea are equally vocal, while Andy Lynch continues to amaze with his conditioning.
Labelled the robot by Ellis, Lynch is often seen doing sprint work across the pitch as others get out the tennis rackets.
He's not averse to a game of tennis himself, but a re-match against champions Gentle and Shaun McRae has been put on hold due to McRae's bad back.
The mood in camp has certainly been telling. There's an air of confidence about Hull's training which wasn't evident last year in Tenerife as Gentle and his players got used to each other and the new systems.
With two days to go, there is no sign of a let-up as the preparations continue for Sunday's opening friendly.

The Detroit Red Wings used a compliance buyout on Carlo Colaiacovo last year, which means they have one more compliance buyout during the off-season. If they do not use their second compliance buyout this off-season, then they lose the buyout.
Jordin Tootoo
CAP HIT: $1,900,000 / one year left
STATS: 1 point (0 goals, 1 assist) / 5 PIM / 11 games played
Jordin Tootoo was a prime candidate for a compliance buyout last season and things have gone from bad to worse for the veteran forward.
Even though he was a healthy scratch quite often last year and only played in fourty-two games, it does not compare the disappointment this season was for Jordin Tootoo.
Tootoo spent the majority of the season in the AHL with the Grand Rapids Griffins, while Tomas Jurco, Gustav Nyquist, Riley Sheahan, Luke Glendening, Mitch Callahan, and Landon Ferraro were all brought up to the Detroit Red Wings during the season.
In Grand Rapids, Tootoo played in fifty-one games and only produced eighteen points. Tootoo played if four of ten Calder Cup playoffs games for Grand Rapids and was only able to tally one assist, while picking up twelve penalty minutes.
Tootoo is a little ball of hate, which come in handy on the fore-check and tiring out the defense and he gives everything he has on every shift, but it did not seem to be enough to keep him on the Detroit Red Wings this season.
Tootoo does not play on the power play or penalty kill, which is a must for third and fourth liners on the Red Wings. Not being able to play special teams limits his minutes and makes him expendable piece of the puzzle.
The Detroit Red Wings have said that Jordin Tootoo is an NHL player and neither Tootoo or the Wings want to see him in the AHL for an extended period of time, but there is no room for him with the Red Wings next season.
Between Stephen Weiss being healthy, Riley Sheahan, Luke Glendening, and Tomas Jurco NHLing themselves this past season, and Daniel Alfredsson possibly returning next season, it makes the possibility of Tootoo remaining with the Wings a long shot.
He could fit in as a thirteenth or fourteenth forward, but I do not think Tootoo or the Red Wings would be happy with that situation.
The Wings will probably try to trade him to another NHL team, but he is not worth much, if anything, but if they cannot he is the prime candidate for the Wings second compliance buyout.
Let us know how you feel about Jordin Tootoo.

Russian Officials To Investigate Regional President's Alien Abduction Claims
samzenpus posted more than 4 years ago | from the mars-wants-to-play-chess dept.184
wdef writes "The BBC reports that a Russian MP has asked President Dmitry Medvedev to investigate claims by a regional president that he has met aliens on board a spaceship. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the leader of the southern region of Kalymkia, made his claim in a television interview. Mr Ilyumzhinov said in an interview on primetime television that he had been taken on board an alien spaceship which had come to planet Earth to take samples — and claims to have several witnesses. He has been president of Kalmykia, a small Buddhist region of Russia which lies on the shores of the Caspian Sea, for 17 years. As president of the World Chess Federation, he has spent tens of millions of dollars turning the impoverished republic into a mecca for chess players — building an entire village to host international tournaments. MP Andre Lebedev is not just asking whether Mr Ilyumzhinov is fit to govern. He is also concerned that, if he was abducted, he may have revealed details about his job and state secrets."

A character gets tied up and fastened to some sort of explosive device.
A favorite execution method of Dastardly Whiplash types, this trope involves the villain tying a captured character to an armed explosive device. Cue frantic searches for the Conveniently-Placed Sharp Thing and attempts to disarm the device while still tied up (for example, a memorable scene in a Scooby-Doo episode where Shaggy and Scooby attempt to put out a bomb fuse with their butts). Generally, though, disaster gets averted by the Big Damn Heroes showing up to get their pal out of dodge before he/she gets blasted to a pile of thin gruel. Bonus points if the rescue team cuts it so close that they and their rescuee wind up Outrunning the Fireball afterwards. It operates on a similar principle to Chained to a Railway, in that it's essentially a timed Death Trap. However, the myriad ways to trigger a bomb means that villains can have lots of fun with this... for instance, rigging the bomb to go off when somebody tries to rescue the victim (this is sure to mess with the victim's psyche a lot, and can also subvert a Big Damn Heroes moment by turning it into a Senseless Sacrifice.) See also Death Trap and Bound and Gagged, as this is a Sub-Trope of both, and Explosive Leash and Why Am I Ticking?, which are SisterTropes. Riding the Bomb is also closely related. Comics

Name: Sing Chi (a.k.a 'dpm' and 'Dpmlicious')
Birthday: June 26
Occupation: Educator, eSports Community Figure (Journalist, Organiser, Caster and Emcee)
Blog: www.dpmlicous.com
Facebook | Twitter
Following the previous part, let's talk with Dpmlicious to understand better about the life of this girl, who have a lovely, sweet and great personality!
RGN: Dpm, please tell me more about your nationality.
Dpmlicious: Bloodwise, I'm Korean-Singaporean (Chinese), but my legal father is Filipino and I'm a Hong Kong permanent resident. I was born in Hong Kong, went to international schools here. Went to the Philippines for five years, and then came back again for my International Baccalaureate and university. Though, at the time, I did not want to return to Hong Kong because I was supposed to enter Ateneo de Manila University when I was 15. After popping over to SG last year, I'm based in Hong Kong again.
DPM in the streets of Hong Kong!
RGN: I can't imagine what life in Hong Kong would be like. Give me an example of a regular day.
Dpmlicious: My life is very simple and I spend a lot of time online. In the schedule below, "Go online" could be anything including my educational work, gaming-related work, socialising with friends and gaming. What I do when I go online depends on my schedule and what needs to be done.
Morning: Wake up at 8 / 9am. Go online then eat breakfast. Go online. Gym session (Yes! I'm trying to be healthier!). Go online.
Afternoon: Lunch. Go online. Tutor.
Evening: Dinner. Go online. Sleep at 12 midnight / 1 am.
DPM's Bed...
RGN: Can you tell me about your non-gaming hobbies?
Dpmlicious: I breathe, eat and live DOTA 2. Kidding! But, seriously, I currently don't have time for non-gaming hobbies. I guess you could say I watch some TV series and a couple of movies here and there.
Sometimes my days are filled with community related activities to the point that I barely have any time to even play DotA or DOTA 2. Since I do a wide range of different things, there is always something for me to do. But, I've recently been making sure that I have some (sometimes TONS) of time to play with my friends. I even play on the EU server with 400ms!
People have been encouraging me to become more serious about casting and start casting online on a regular basis. If I find it fun, I might spend tons of time on it. So stay tuned!
DPM on DOTA 2 Europe server with 400+ms
RGN: Can you share some non-gaming talents and competition honours?
Dpmlicious: I can roll my tongue! But, only one roll! Seriously though…
My great passion before DotA, was debate. I was a competitive debater that represented my university. I've been to around 30 different events in 10 different countries to compete, judge or teach debate and public speaking.
Before debate, I focused on youth development and activism. Since I was ten, I held leadership positions in various school and external charities and academic, artistic, media and sports organizations. I received various scholarships and awards for my academic and extra-curricular performance. But, that was a very long time ago.
Actually, one of my dreams is to motivate gamers to become involved in something other than gaming. I haven't gotten around to it yet, but hope to start soon.
Tufts Institute for Leadership and International Perspective batch 2005-2006!
RGN: Can you tell me about your favourite quote?
Dpmlicious: I do not have a favourite quote. I normally just say what's on my mind. Each situation will have a different suitable thought. But, I do enjoy good quotes when I come across them.
RGN: What are your favourite things?
1. Insanely good Internet
2. Alienware M17X R3
3. Purple things
4. Pandas
5. Star shaped things
So, a panda plushie holding a purple star would be incredibly awesome. Maybe even more so if it were a router! If I had to choose between the top two items and a variety of clothes, I would choose the sexy internet and laptop. I would be content to be wearing the same uniform, of course with a change of clothes, just like The Simpsons. Even more if it were purple.
DPM's old baby, Alienware M17X R2, with Pandaren and a froggie friend.
RGN: Tell me about the most memorable memory you had in gaming.
Dpmlicious: This is going to sound really corny but… being at The International at Gamescom for so many reasons. Soaking in the atmosphere and being around so many people who share the same passion as me was a dream come true. Seeing it being publicly revealed and appreciated for the first time was absolutely amazing. I FINALLY got to meet some people that I have known for years, but never got to see in person.
The quality of the tournament was the best I've ever witnessed. More event organisers should strive to achieve the same quality. Valve clearly cares about the experience for the competitors and audience. They even understand the importance of the ranking reflecting the true skill level and achievement of the team. This is why they had group stages to seed teams into a double elimination stage, instead of just having single elimination.
The overwhelming happiness made me cry on numerous occasions. Tears of happiness would appear while I watched beautiful games being played with a captivated audience. Sometimes, they would come when I thought about how much stronger our community would be with the improved community features and unified DOTA 2. I can only imagine that it must have only been a fraction of what IceFrog felt during that period. I really am truly lucky and grateful to Valve and IceFrog for that experience.
DPM with people other than the competitive gamers @ The International.
RGN: Tell me about the most memorable memory you had in real life.
Dpmlicious: There are so many wonderful people that have made me cherish so many memories. I would like to keep my most memorable memory private. But life is not about the most memorable memories we have, but is more about the future memories we can and will make... and how those experiences shape who we are as individuals.
RGN: Do you have any shoutouts?
Dpmlicious: Hello to the entire DotA and DOTA 2 community! You're awesome! Particularly, IceFrog and Valve for improving our game. Alienware for supporting numerous gaming events!
I would love to list out everyone, but I just love too many DotA communities and teams, but you know who you are! Remember that whenever you feel down, you still have a lot more to offer and can do it! ^_^
RAWR to all gamers out there!

This year's Broncos defense is off and running (over quarterbacks) with the conversion to a 3-4 scheme. The last time the team had success in a 3-4 was with our infamously dubbed "Orange Crush" defense in the 70's. While the strength of the original "Orange Crush" was its linemen, the current squad has arguably one of the best secondaries. The 3-4 was pioneered by Denver defensive coordinator Joe Collier back in 1969. The 'Orange Crush" is still ranked #9 of all-time according to NFL Network in our Clip of the Week!

so my twitter has been going crazy with comments about this article in the independent: http://bit.ly/9eTmmK
bloggers seem to be flipping out and defending themselves by any means necessary. however, the article makes an interesting point. designers often shower gifts on bloggers who will give them what they want, great reviews and viral coverage. however, i can only say that a blog and it's accompanying owner should be follow a point of view and not deviate. it is the blogger's responsibility to maintain an unbiased critical attitude and a discerning eye. when a fashion designer invites an editor to their show, they open themselves up to negative or positive coverage and bloggers must behave in the same way. take dsquared2 for example, had i been invited to the show i would've panned it just as i did without going. it all goes back to the whole whiny blogger syndrome. i'll say it again, i can't stand for un-researched and un-supported blogging. know what you're saying before you speak and remember to be taken seriously, you must write and act like it.
forgive the ranting please. i also must say that for all the fame hungry bloggers there are a great many who do put forth well supported opinions and critique.
