Can an infection in your body change your personality? We read about this today on Boston.com and wondered could an infection really change your personality? Would it be the infection itself, the medicine prescribed to fight the infection or the conditions it causes you? My wife years ago had Lyme disease. Did she become depressed because she could not walk, not be in the sunlight without suffering a migraine and for weeks be confined to bed? Wouldn't you?
Dr. Robert Bransfield, associate director of psychiatry at the Riverview Medical Center in New Jersey, writes on his Mental Health and Illness website that several thousand studies demonstrate "the association between infections and mental symptoms and at least 65 different microbes have been recognized as causing mental symptoms."
He adds that he's treated patients with Lyme disease who've developed suicidal behaviors and violent tendencies. As he writes, "Although most patients with Lyme/tick-borne disease do not become violent, a small percent of patients who become infected develop a type of neurological dysfunction that can increase their risk of aggressiveness. In working with a number of patients with Lyme/tick-borne diseases it is apparent to many clinicians these conditions can cause reduced frustration tolerance, irritability, depression, cognitive impairments and mood swings, but more significantly, in a few patients, suicidal and aggressive tendencies."
What's not as well established is how exactly infections trigger personality changes. Some microbes can directly attack the central nervous system, penetrating the brain and doing direct damage to brain tissue. Other infections may trigger a prolonged immune system reaction that alters the balance of hormones and brain chemicals that have an effect on our moods.
According to Ben Harder of the Washington Post from June 13 – Scientists have also discovered infections that alter behavior in mammals, including humans. For example, the deadly hantavirus, a distant relative of the tomato spotted wilt virus, causes infected rats to become more aggressive. Rabies, meanwhile, renders its victims crazed and unable to swallow. So rabid bats and canines are more likely to bite and spread the saliva-transmitted virus. In fact, rabies may have provided inspiration for legends of vampires and werewolves. Rabies-infected people don't tend to bite, but they may foam at the mouth and act belligerently in the infection's terminal stages.
Cold viruses were recently found to make people friendlier, especially during the period before symptoms appear but when the soon-to-be-sick person is highly infectious to others. Evolutionarily, that helps the virus survive, because a gregarious host is a host who's likely to spread the illness.
The freakiest of the behavior-warping microbes may be Toxoplasma gondii , the parasite that causes toxoplasmosis. If you change cat litter boxes this is a must read, click here.
We have read that antibiotics normally do not cause people to become depressed. Other medications like these can. We think it's the condition and possibly the infection itself as science is now finding out.

I really like going out with non-artists on art walk nights. My brain has been flogged by art and art history and artspeak enough over the years that it's easy to lose track of who's making art for whom, why it matters, to whom it matters. Other artists? Collectors with money? The homeless guy hanging out across the street from the gallery?
I admit, even I feel like an outsider at times. I studied literature at an Evangelical college in the Midwest — hardly a boot camp for scholarly writing on art. Yet being able to approach art as a self-taught admirer or practitioner brings with it a different kind of clarity that once you've lost, you've lost.
This past Thursday I was out with a friend — a talented photographer in his own right, but someone who hasn't jumped on the carousel of eternal art openings yet. We were walking through SOIL Gallery to the backspace, where Matthew Offenbacher has his Decor for Interstellar Flight up. It's a series of styrofoam panels painted with richly patterned designs. He's created a show around the idea of decorating the interior of a spacecraft with changeable panels of art to keep astronauts from going nuts on extended flights.
I really love Offenbacher and his work. He's never afraid to develop whimsical ideas into something aesthetically sincere, rooted in a tangled wealth of historical and pop culture references. (What is, after all, the relationship between decor and fine art these days? Is this what an Arts and Crafts movement for the space age looks like?)
Decor for Interstellar Flight comes with a two page publication by Offenbacher. My friend, after looking at the styrofoam paintings for a while, picks up the article and reads, then plunks it down with a huge shrug.
"I don't get it," he says shamelessly.
Then, after a short pause he pouts: "But art is easy."
He means art should be easy. He's being a little histrionic, but I also don't doubt he's sincere. He's not stupid: he can hold his own discussing feminism and pop culture and art, and his response gives me pause. Sometimes the conversation around art can become like a botched game of telephone. Maybe my friend's blood sugar is just low. We need a sandwich.
A few months ago I took a hairdresser friend as my date to the Roy McMakin exhibit I Continue to Believe in the Potential to Express Hope and Sorrow through Furniture at Western Bridge. McMakin's work could be described, roughly, as a poetics of furniture and gender and domesticity. He loves furniture, plays with it, cuts it up, subverts it, makes it not-as-it-seems. I find it a bit too dry at times, and this was one of them. My friend and I watched his series of videos projected on walls in a dark room. The friend ended up making shadow puppets in the video installation. We sat on some chairs in the main hall of the gallery — they were peppered all around the space — and chatted.
"I have a childlike gaze because I have ADD and I just think about food," he says. "So I'm a harsh audience."
He says that, but he's also not stupid about art and counts a bevy of artists among his friends. Are we insincerely making apologies for our boredom? We meander to another room and sit down at a table painted half black, half white.
Western Bridge director Eric Fredericksen's head pops up like a jack-in-the-box from a walkway overhead.
"You can't sit there!" he yells.
"But I can sit on those?" I say, pointing to the installation of chairs in the adjoining room where we'd just been sitting.
"But not these?"
"They're not real seats," Fredericksen persists.
"But they are real!"
"They're not real, not tonight."
We get up from the seats (Untitled, Ebonized white oak and enamel paint on Eastern maple, 2005) and shuffle away, equally amused and chagrined.
Did we just experience the mystery of McMakin's work? Or merely get hand-slapped for an opening night faux pas? Must my tired ass and my ego be insulted by a poetics of furniture "realness" so rarefied I miss it altogether? It's the kind of scenario you dread, the thing that keeps art walking virgins from going out (or at least insures you'll want to prefunk with a few shots of gin beforehand to keep your courage up). Luckily, Western Bridge isn't stingy with excellent Chardonnay.
The reward of searching for that one breathtaking moment sometimes outweighs art world anxiety. Towards the end of last Thursday's art walk my photographer friend paused in front of a print at Greg Kucera. It was Jane Hammond's From the Goose to the Girl, a game board edged with dreamy goldfish swimming around a spiral of hyper-colored graphic images. I fumbled my way through the French translation to try to decipher the runic instructions. We studied the iconography, enchanted by the richness of visual non sequiturs. This is the kind of moment I'm looking for: an unexpected laugh, a religious-like rush, visual overstimulation. I also want my childlike gaze sated sometimes.
Art is addictive like that. Sure, it's masturbatory and self-indulgent, sometimes esoteric and nonsensical and overreachingly philosophical. But only insomuch as humans are, which is why it never ceases to be magic. (I always feel like I'm going off on some Dr. Who rant about how wonderful Earth and humans are when I speak of art in broad strokes, but it's just how it is.) The riddles embedded in furniture, goldfish, board games and space travel are, in a sense, what it is to be human. I'll always chase after it, even if it means occasionally sitting in the wrong chair like an idiot.

A Virginia man putting gas into his vehicle on the side of I-285 was hit early Sunday morning and killed, police said.
The man, identified by the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office as 35-year-old Larry Sawyer of Radford, was stopped on the right shoulder of I-285 North near the Bolton Road exit about 4:30 a.m. when a vehicle rear-ended his.
"The impact caused the victim to be thrown into the lanes of travel, where he was struck by another vehicle that was traveling north on I-285," Atlanta police spokesman Officer Jarius Daugherty said in a statement. "The driver of that vehicle remained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation."
Sawyer was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the first vehicle was determined to be at fault after an initial investigation, police said. Charges have not yet been filed.
Two people in the same vehicle were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital to be treated for unspecified injuries, according to police. Their conditions were not released.
The crash is still under investigation, Daugherty said.

Porcelain veneers are very thin, custom-made shells that are designed to cover the front surfaces of the teeth to improve your appearance. It is very popular for its simplicity as minimal to no tooth preparation is required.
It can be used for several purposes such as to protect the tooth's surface from damage, to close the spaces between teeth (diastemata), to lengthen teeth that have been shortened by wear, to strengthen worn teeth and to correct malfunctioned teeth that appear cracked.

Salman does Bigg Loss for Bigg Boss
Oct 12th
After allegedly tanking up excessively at the success party of his show 'Being Human', Salman Khan failed to make it to an early morning special shoot of Bigg Boss 4
Salman and his entourage of Bollywood actresses might have come out of his 'Being Human' show, with flying colours but what followed the next day was shocking to say the least. Buzz is that the Bigg Boss 3 team had requested Salman to shoot a special episode on Sunday (October 10), which they could air on Monday (October 11). The intention was to lock horns with Kaun Banega Crorepati 4 (both the shows are aired at 9 pm). The creatives team of Bigg Boss felt that this way they could grab more eyeballs and thereby affect the TRPs of Amitabh Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati's opening episode.
Salman is featured only on Fridays and Saturdays and not Mondays. Normally, he shoots every Friday for both the episodes.
After the Bigg Boss team members explained to Sallu as to how important it was for them to beat the opening episode of Bachchan's Kaun Banega Crorepati 4, he agreed to shoot for it early in the morning on Sunday. But a shock awaited the team in Lonavla, where the shoot was scheduled. Salman never turned up for the shoot.
The Bigg Boss team, which was waiting in the early hours of Sunday, was informed only around noon that Salman would not make it to Lonavla that day. Left with no other alternative, the unit packed up.
You wonder what Sallu's golden words were. Adds the source, "Salman excused himself by saying that he was indisposed. He was actually celebrating the success of the Being Human show till the wee hours of Sunday morning. Salman was in very high spirits after the Being Human show."
Ironically, Salman had apparently invited many members of the Bigg Boss team to the Being Human show."
Another source confirms that it was Sallu's absence on October 10 that caused the shoot to be cancelled at the last moment. "Salman was in Panvel on Sunday (Panvel isn't far from Lonavla)."
An insider from Bigg Boss 4 reveals, "Our plan wasn't exactly to kill Kaun Banega Crorepati's opening episode (note that he isn't denying it), but it was also that we wanted to surprise the contestants of Bigg Boss 4."
When asked what exactly Sallu told the channel people, he adds, "The channel was told that he had an eye infection."
When contacted, Bigg Boss's broadcaster's official spokesperson didn't comment on the story.
Sp show on Big B's life before KBC 4 today
Oct 11th
By Subhash K. Jha, October 11, 2010 – 10:14 IST
At a celebration party at the Marriott on Monday evening, the Big B would be cutting a 68-kilo cake, 1 kilo for each year of his life.
While the world sings 'Happy Birthday' to the Big B, Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan sing together for the first time in a song composed by the Big B himself! Find that hard to believe? But it's the truth.
The Big B is a huge aficionado of music and singing. He in fact intends to learn to play the piano soon. But for now he has turned composer for a song that has been sung by the Big B and Abhishek Bachchan.
The song would be part of a comprehensive bio-documentary showcasing the 68-year life-span of Amitabh Bachchan which will be telecast on his birthday on Monday. The Big B has not only taken active and complete interest in the material going into the audio-visual show reel–going so far as to provide never-before pictures, advising on the footage to be used and making suggestions on chronological data relating to his life story– the mega-star has also taken time off from his cluttered schedule to compose the theme song.
While the Big B himself is characteristically dismissive of what could be seen as his first decisive step into direction and filmmaking, Ajit Thakur CEO of Sony Entertainment, the channel which will be telecasting the historic bio-documentary sheds startling light on the project. "Mr. Bachchan has indeed composed a song for the show reel and also sung for it along with Abhishek and composers Vishal-Shekhar."
The show reel introducing the new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati has virgin footage and rare pictures of the Big B beginning with his birth in 1942 to present-day.
Informs a source from the channel, "The show reel contains never-before pictures episodes, incidents, scenes and dialogues from Mr. Bachchan's life and films. For instance he will be reciting a poem by his father poet Harivanshrai Bachchan that he has never recited publicly before. There will be pictures of the Big B and his family that have been brought out into the open for the first time."
In fact the Big B has personally supervised every aspect of the showreel, lent pictures and footage from his own private library, selected the footage that has grown into the show reel, and zeroed-in on the relevant sequences from his films which he has re-enacted for the first time.
Says the source, "Some of the most famous sequences and dialogues such as the temple scene in Yash Chopra's Deewaar from Mr. Bachchan's films have been handpicked by him and re-enacted specially for this show reel on specially erected sets representing the original."
And in the inaugural episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the first contestant from a small village will be told that the optimum prize money is not Rs. 1 crore but 5 crores.
The surprise on the contestant's face is the Big B's biggest birthday gift.
There'll be no bday celebrations at home-Amitabh Bachchan
Oct 10th
Posted by Fenil Seta in Interviews
Amitabh Bachchan is a busy bee a couple of days ahead of his 68th. He is shooting simultaneously for his new film Power, directed by Raj Kumar Santoshi, and Kaun Banega Crorepati.
A few nights ago he stole the show walking the ramp for Karan Johar. His energy is at an all-time high.
Excerpts from a tête-à-tête.
So, all set for the birthday celebrations at home?
Hold on! There will be no celebrations at home. Of course, if people come over unannounced, they're most welcome. I'll be opening KBC this day. I have been working late into the nights recording promos for the show.
Is Rajnikanth coming to Mumbai for your birthday?
There are no such plans. But we've great affection for one another. I met Rajni for the first time in Chennai when I was shooting at the AVM Studios. He came across and met me. We've been friends ever since. He's such a humble and simple human being. So down-to-earth… how he remains that way with the kind of fan-following he has is a mystery.
His wife has been a wonderful support. She has brought up their children so well. Every time I am in Chennai, I call and visit him. We call each other whenever the need arises.
What did you think of Robot?
What a massive achievement! Great entertainer. It's all Rajni and Shankar and their hard work.
On the eve of your birthday you rocked on the ramp.
Thank you… Kya Karen, karna padta hai kissi terah.
How do you it?
Do what?
Keep crossing new thresholds in your career?
I don't know about that. I had walked the ramp just once… no twice before, but both times for a cause. This time, I did it because Karan (Johar) asked. I can't say no to Karan. He is family.
Walking the ramp looks easy enough from the other side. When you look at the models doing it you say, 'Hey, it's not a tough job at all.' But once you go up there you really start admiring them. It's not just a simple walk. It's actually a nightmare.
This time you seem very comfortable with your television appearance.
I'm going back to KBC after 10 years. I remember in 2000 when I did the show I was raw to the medium, very hesitant very nervous. That hasn't changed.
Anytime I go in front of the camera for any medium there will be apprehensions. Creativity is an ongoing process. No matter how professional you are, it can never be enough. One can never be fully comfortable on television. It's a frightening medium for me.
You seem to enjoy your interaction with the aam aadmi on KBC.
Yes, they all have such an interesting back story… where they came from, how they grew up.
This time on the show we actually follow the lives of the contestants to their roots. I actually get to see where they came from, what their parents and family think, etc.
The human-interest level is high this time. KBC can now be a life-changing moment for the contestant.
There are people coming on the show from places where the show did not reach earlier. For them KBC is an opportunity to make the kind of money in a hour that they've never seen before.
Television will occupy a lot of your time this year.
KBC will go on only until November or the first week of December. I have started shooting for Raj Kumar Santoshi's Power, which will be followed by Prakash Jha's Aarakshan. Then there's Balki's film. We've finally zeroed in on a subject. It will be produced by AB Corp Ltd.
We're going housefull!-Vipul Shah
Oct 10th
Mark Manuel (BOMBAY TIMES; October 10, 2010)
Vipul and Shefali Shah are beaming. The prolific filmmaker has returned to Hindi theatre with Bus Itna Sa Khwab in which his hugely talented and attractive wife holds stage. No, that doesn't mean that Vipul has given up cinema. Far from it. He's got the Akshay-Ash starrer Action Replayy coming up in Diwali. But, yes, Vipul has just realised that Shefali is an actress of a rare calibre. And Hindi cinema, which has its own framework, does not offer her enough opportunity to showcase her enormous talent. So, the enterprising Bollywood movie mogul gave his wife Bus Itna Sa Khwab, a Marathi play by Chandrakant Kulkarni and Prashant Dalvi that he updated to suit society's tastes today. And ever since the play opened, the Shahs have had no rest, Vipul has actually resorted to shows on Saturday as well for theatre enthusiasts… which is rare for the Hindi stage. "But what to do," he asks, "I never imagined the play would get this kind of response and respect." He's got to be present at every show himself, because at the end, the audience expects Vipul to take a curtain call. "Standing ovations, we get for every performance," he says, "but for one show, I wasn't there to take the curtain call — and the audience refused to budge!"
All his friends from Bollywood, from Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan to Akshay and Twinkle Kumar, have seen, enjoyed and raved about Bus Itna Sa Khwab. Says Vipul, "Amitji wrote on his blog that it was fantastic and he hadn't seen anything like this in theatre. Imagine, he has seen it all." But what is delighting him most is that the question that arises here is not about housefull shows and money, it's about credibility. Just when theatre was gasping for its last breath, he revived it with this successful play with its Bollywood-like production values. Now he considers it among his biggest achievements. "Profit and loss, success and failure, has not been the formula by which I work," says Vipul. "I believe the culture of our country is linked to theatre. And that cinema becomes stronger through theatre. I want to work my way back towards it." Which is a win-win situation all round. Bollywood has the best of Vipul Shah and now theatre is about to get a slice of him as well. Welcome back, and take a bow…
Lock kiya jaye, birthday boy?
Oct 10th
Big B has butterflies in his tummy as he returns with India's favourite game show on his birthday tomorrow
Meena Iyer | TNN (BOMBAY TIMES; October 10, 2010)
Starting 9 pm tomorrow the streets of India are likely to resemble a ghost town. The iconic Amitabh Bachchan, the man who changed the face of Indian television, is returning to the country's favourite game show Kaun Banega Crorepati on Sony Entertainment Television. Adrenaline rushes will be felt by most, especially when it comes to watching who amongst the audience makes it to the hot seat and gets a shot at becoming a crorepati.
Talking about his favourite show, the Big B says, "Kaun Banega Crorepati is truly a show which is of the people, by the people and for the people. It gives every Indian an equal opportunity to win a life changing amount. In our culture we are taught to value knowledge, that it is rewarding, KBC re-affirms that view as a person can use that knowledge and win 5 crore on the show." Describing that empty feeling in the pit of his stomach as he gets ready to host KBC, he says, "One is always anxious because it is a creative job. One has to come in front of an audience. And, the audience is going to rate us on how we have done, whether we have lived up to their expectation or not. When you have to present something to the audience, there is always that apprehension. With creativity comes nervousness.''
The legend also admits that a part of the nervousness comes from the fact that he doesn't understand this medium too well. Says he, "The channel is more anxious than perhaps people who participate because they design something. And, we (the hosts) just do it according to the design.''
The opening of KBC will have a rocking performance from Bachchan to a medley of hit songs. He will deliver some memorable dialogues from his vast repertoire. And, India's most recognised baritone will also recite a special poem written by his father, the legendary poet Harivansh Rai Bachchan. The special tracks have been created by Vishal-Shekhar, performance has been choreographed by the incomparable Shiamak Davar, sets by India's foremost art director — Nitin Desai, and clothes have been designed by Vikram Phadnis. With the show launching on the same day he turns 68, Amitabh says that he couldn't have asked for a better birthday gift. With a 5 crore jackpot which can be won in 60 minutes flat, introduction of a timer on the questions and new life-lines, the game is bound to excite. "I will still say lock kiya jaye because certain phrases have been formatted after a lot of thought and they should not be changed,'' says the KBC boss.
Kaun Banega Crorepati starts from October 11 at 9 pm, Monday to Thursday, on SONY Entertainment Television.
Emraan Hashmi in Rajkumar Santoshi's Power?
Oct 8th
By Joginder Tuteja, October 8, 2010 – 11:26 IST
Has Emraan Hashmi joined the 'powerful' cast of Rajkumar Santoshi's Power which is fast turning out to be the most star studded affairs of 2011? Well, that's the gossip going around in the industry circles ever since Power first came in news close to a fortnight ago.
Says an industry insider, "Yes, there have been talks of Emraan making an appearance in the film. Though the actor doesn't do too many multi starrers, he did give the film a close hearing when he was approached for it. Rajkumar Santoshi is a huge name and his ensemble starrers can prove to be a huge draw. Also, Emraan too has opened up more after the smash success of Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai which was a two hero project. He too feels that it isn't bad after all to bring in that occasional multi starrer in his profile."
Well, if Power stars Emraan, it would indeed turn out to be a casting coup of sorts with people across all generations being a part of this Firoz Nadiadwala biggie. While Amitabh Bachchan heads the star-cast, veteran actors like Sanjay Dutt and Anil Kapoor bring in over 30 years of working experience each. Ajay Devgn is at the peak of his career after being around for 20 years and Emraan Hashmi being established in his own right completes the picture. Kangna Ranaut, Ameesha Patel and newbie Lekha Washington bring on the glamour quotient hence making Power a powerful experience.
However, the man in the question – Emraan – diffuses the speculation and denies that he is doing the film. "No, I am not a part of it", is all that he is willing to comment when quizzed around the rumour making the rounds.
Though he isn't willing to open up on the topic, rightly so because all his concentration is currently on his latest release Crook, he doesn't deny the fact that he was approached for the role.
"Yes, I was in talks with Firoz bhai. We did have discussions that were taken to some level. However, it eventually didn't work out. So yes, for the record, I am not doing Power. There is always a next time though", says Emraan.
One would have thought though after Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai, he won't mind being a part of big multi starrers.
"Of course I won't but then it isn't that suddenly you would start seeing me in many multi starrers", he says, "Even when I did Once Upon A Time…, it was after much deliberation. The results are there to be seen. It is the subject that ultimately matters and what you bring to the table. The script has to work. I haven't switched on a green light to do multi starrers or films outside Vishesh Films. There is no such conscious decision. It isn't about a multi starrer as a solo lead. I have to do a good job in a good film. Period."
Well, that should set the record once for and all.

Oct 8th
|Lekha Washington
Filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi has taken Lekha Washington under his wings. Lekha is Santoshi's latest muse. Buzz is that Santoshi has signed Lekha for a three-film deal.
The first film in question is Power. Produced by Firoz Nadiadwala, it has already gone on the floors.
Says a source, "Power is a fabulous opportunity for Lekha. It's a very big film with top actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Ajay Devgan, It will be a great learning platform of acting for Lekha." Mentor ho toh aisa!
The industry is also buzzing that Lekha has been paid a bomb for Power. "Santoshi facilitated a handsome fee for her as well.

So what if she has done only one film till now (Peter Gaya Kaam Se opposite Rajeev Khandelwal) which too hasn't released yet? He sees a lot of potential in her."
Both Lekha and Santoshi remained unavailable for comment.
Hrithik gets measured for his Madame Tussauds wax statue
Oct 4th
By Bollywood Hungama News Network, October 4, 2010 – 12:40 IST
Madame Tussauds has been a name to reckon with when it comes to preserving life like structures of famous personalities immortalized in wax. The latest addition to the museum in London following Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Salman Khan and SRK is none other than the Greek god of Bollywood Hrithik Roshan.
Hrithik was recently measured up for his new wax figure by the sculpting team in Mumbai and London. They captured a catalogue of reference photographs and hundreds of precise measurements for the figure, which will be unveiled in London in January 2011.
To ensure total authenticity, Hrithik will be closely involved in the creation process, collaborating with the team to agree the pose and even donating items of clothing for his figure to wear.
Commenting on the creation of his figure, the star of hit films including Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, Dhoom, Krrish and Jodhaa Akbar, said: "I don't really have the words to articulate what it feels like. Being bestowed this honour is overwhelming." Hrithik, who remembers visiting Madame Tussauds as a child but never imagined he would stand alongside his heroes there, added that his inclusion "re-affirms my belief that nothing is impossible".
The figure will be created at Madame Tussauds studios in London over the next four months at a cost of £150,000. The first step is to craft a perfect clay sculpture from which the moulds are made to make an amazingly life like wax figure. Then it is over to a team of skilled hair and colour artists to insert the hair by hand and build up life like skin tones using layer upon layer of oil paint; every freckle, mole, dimple and wrinkle are accurately reproduced.
Demystifying India's highest paid filmmaker: the elusive S Shankar
Oct 3rd
Meena Iyer (MUMBAI MIRROR; October 03, 2010)
If you join the dots from S Shankar's first film Gentleman (1993) to his latest Robot (2010) you'll notice a common thread. For one, he has the finger on the pulse of the mainstream cinegoer. Plus, he knows how to embellish his work with gloss and grandeur at a scale still unimaginable by most filmmakers.
Real Indian palaces, heritage sights, Machu-Pichu, seven wonders of the world…he's exploited them all long before Bollywood found their address.
But to grant the devil his due - his movies are not just special-effects ridden; there is a definite plot with a message. Also, the budgets get more phenomenal each time.
His first blockbuster Gentleman (1993) (with its iconic Chik paku raile number that introduced the world to Prabhu Deva's dancing skills) brought a new style of filmmaking but his 90s protagonist is just a different avatar of Bollywood 70s phenomenon - Salim-Javed's 'angry young man'.
Quite like Amitabh Bachchan, Shankar's hero has invariably been taking on the system, film after film. But where he leaves his contemporaries way behind is his technical wizardry. A fact just reiterated by his latest Robot (Endhiran, Tamil).
Comparisons to West
Two days after the release of the Rs 150 crore film, Kollywood's Shankar is drawing comparisons to none other than James Cameron.
Both are August born; both spare no expense when it comes to their budgets and cinematic vision. And quite like Avatar, the highest worldwide grosser, Robot too has opened to a thunderous start.
The filmmaker himself remains remarkably modest about being "India's Cameron quotient." "Stop pulling my leg,'' he says. "I don't need any more spotlight on me than that is already there," he laughs.
But with an enviable track record of seven of the biggest hits in Tamil cinema, Shankar is on the verge of rewriting history with his eight one. Trade sources confirm that Endhiran, has broken the record of the highest box office collections for a Tamil film - the film, they say, will cross the Rs 250 crore mark.
Decoding the director
So what's Shankar all about? Born in a fairly affluent family in Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, he worked as a quality control supervisor till the movie bug bit him. On a telephone call he still introduces himself as, "Hi I'm Shankar, the director,'' and when you incredulously ask him why he says that, he replies, "my films and I are twins, joined at the hip.''
But while his on-screen heroes are the robust Robinhood-rascala amalgamation, Shankar himself is the anti-thesis. He's more like a quiet mouse on set, rather than like a megalomaniac wielding the megaphone. And he lets his ADs have a field day liaising with Bollywood beauties and the crew.
But quiet demeanor apart, with his baseball cap and huge sun-shades, Shankar is the boss. He has worked with the legends of Tamil cinema - Kamal Haasan (Indian) and Rajnikanth (Sivaji-The Boss, Endhiran-Robot) but is neither in awe of his subject nor does he doesn't brook any interference.
As he says, "Rajnikanth is the ultimate for any film-maker. His demi-God status aside, he's the most obedient actor I've worked with. He doesn't leave the set once he reports for work…and he still maintains a child-like curiosity about everything related to a film.''
What makes him work
One of his assistant directors says the secret of his success lies in his engineering background - he goes about fixing each nut and bolt step by step while filmmaking. Robot was originally planned five years ago with Priety Zinta and Kamal Hasan.
The monies didn't drop at that point. It was then revived with Shah Rukh Khan. Story goes when Shankar went to Orange County (with his wife, son, daughters Aditi and Aishwarya and team of writers) to give SRK a detailed narration, he had every colour scheme, every frame and other minute details worked out. SRK was visibly impressed but the deal fell through and the Rajni came on board.
He is also a tough cookie to please. A stickler for punctuality, years ago, when Manisha Koirala (Indian, Mudalvan) walked in just a few minutes late on a couple of occasions, he had turned shades of purple. And one has seen him lapse into complete silence after he and the Nepali actress had a slight altercation about a scene.
Of course all this doesn't compromise his work relations. The next morning, he sorted the matter with Manisha and shooting progressed at a brisk pace.
A simple man
In personal life he's a plain-dresser. Though he arrives in a high-end automobile (he earlier drove a Merc but after his association with SRK, switched to a BMW) he has no shenanigans attached to his name. He's the kind of guy who has no hesitation to eat food at roadside joints, goes about his work-home-work routine and shuns parties save for the occasional awards function.
But his budgets are the opposite. Ask him about why his budgets always get more prominence than his reviews, and he says, "I don't know the intention of the press when it highlights the budgets of movies. In my movies the money has always been well-spent. In Robot, the animatronics used is of the same calibre of The Jurassic Park, Terminator and Avatar. And since it was also done at the Stan Winston Studios in the US, the SFX cost huge money. I only put my money where my mouth is. Robot needed high-end technical effects. If Indian cinema had a wider release, then I would have spent at least half of what Avatar did on SFX. However, I've always believed in bringing in something new via technology in every film of mine. And it is because of the novelty element that my films have a repeat value."
"I think it's wrong to talk about my movie budgets constantly. There is an equal amount of blood and sweat invested in the effort. The film took two years to make and we had a huge foreign crew involved. Every member of my unit and the foreign crew has worked so hard on this film that the money pales in comparison to the effort put in.''
The journey ahead
Fair enough, but one wonders whether it is personal angst that is responsible for the Robinhood characters he writes. Says Shankar, "I'm a common man. And I'm fully aware of what is happening around me. As a journalist you have a pen that you use to highlight injustice. As a director, I have another medium to do exactly the same.''
But the films he patronises are vastly different from the ones he makes. A self-confessed Mani Ratnam admirer, the other three films that have left an indelible mark on him are Ashutosh Gowarikar's Lagaan, Farhan Akhtar's Dil Chahta Hai and Raj Kumar Hirani's 3 Idiots. "When I'm in between scripts the only things I make time for are watching movies," he says.
And though his movies leave gadget freaks gasping, he's technologically challenged in real life. "All the technology is reserved for my films. I don't even know what hidden features my cell-phone has,'' he laughs.
As he gets into his vehicle to visit the local Chennai theatres for reactions, he adds, "People want to know what I'm making next. I usually have some idea stashed away in my head for my next film even before the earlier one has wrapped.
In 17 years I have directed 10 films. I guess I have been prolific. But, this time around I want to wait for the hangover of Robot to subside. What I really need at this point is to splash some water on my face, clear my head and go for a long drive and feel the breeze blow.''

Kareena, not Priyanka, may play Indira Gandhi
Oct 1st
Hollywood make-up artistes favour Bebo
Prithwish Ganguly | TNN (BOMBAY TIMES; October 1, 2010)
Kareena Kapoor might edge past Priyanka Chopra to play Indira Gandhi in the much-awaited international biopic Mother: The Indira Gandhi Story. The Hollywood producers had initially thought of approaching Priyanka but it seems the Oscar-winning make-up artistes Jenny Shircore and Greg Connam, working closely on the project, are divided in their opinion. They now see that Bebo can look closer to Indira than Priyanka, who was initially thought to have the perfect shape of face. The balance, as of now, has definitely tilted towards
A source working on the project reveals. "Veteran Hollywood script-writer Krishna Shah, who has also made films for Bollywood like Shalimar, has gone to solve the mystery of which actress can look like Indira to play her on screen. While Shircore — who won the Academy for her work in Elizabeth, had felt that Priyanka is the only actress, Connam — who has worked on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, has now started to think that Kareena is more perfect. As of now, the two are seriously looking over Kareena's features for a near match before they approach her." Krishna told BT, "Casting is 80 per cent of directing. In a biopic, it is 90 per cent of directing. Can you imagine Gandhi without Ben Kingsley or Nixon without Anthony Hopkins or Patton without George C. Scott? Indira's film provides incredible scope for the make-up artistes." On what they love about Kareena, who may have to go through three hours of prosthetics like Amitabh Bachchan in Paa and Shah Rukh Khan in Ra.1, Krishna adds, "She has a strong jaw and deep eyes and the time for make-up will not be taxing. Indira at 20 will take about an hour. She at 50, about two hours; and she at 67, three hours because of the advancement in the art of makeup."

Claudia Cardinale (born April 15, 1938) is an Italian actress born in Tunis, Tunisia to Italian parents. Many of the films she has appeared in including 8½ (1963) and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) have consistently been voted amongst the greatest films of all time.
Despite her very feminine appearance, she had a deep voice (for a woman) from an early age. Moreover she claims she wasn't able to speak Italian until the age of eighteen; in her early films she had her voice dubbed by someone else. Indeed, despite her Italian nationality, her maternal language is French and she has always lived most of the time in France, that she considers to be her actual homeland.
Cardinale never made a real attempt to break into the American market since she was not interested in leaving Europe for extended periods of time. Her Hollywood films include The Pink Panther (1963), Circus World (1964), Blindfold (1965) and The Hell With Heroes (1968).
A photograph of Cardinale was featured in the original gatefold artwork to Bob Dylan's album Blonde on Blonde in 1966; since the photo was used without Cardinale's permission, the photo was removed from the cover art in later pressings.
Her performance in Visconti's Sandra/Of A Thousand Delights is regarded as mesmerizing, playing a Holocaust survivor with an incestuous relationship with her brother. In Comencini's La Storia (from Elsa Morante's novel), Cardinale plays a widow raising a son during World War II and was another well-received performance.
Other memorable performances include Valerio Zurlini's Girl With a Suitcase and Mauro Bolognini's Libera.
Cardinale remains active in European cinema, her later films include Qui comincia l'avventura (1975), Fitzcarraldo (1982), Un homme amoureux (1987), Mayrig (1991), and And now... Ladies and Gentlemen (2002)
She denies ever having been married, although it is hypothesised that she has been at least once (to Franco Cristaldi); she has been living with film director Pasquale Squitieri since 1975, and has two children. Her son Patrick was born out of wedlock after she was raped by a mysterious Frenchman when only 17; Cristaldi adopted him later. She has a daughter by Squitieri. She is also reported to have had an affair with former French President Jacques Chirac.
Claudia Cardinale is a liberal with strong political convictions. She is involved in pro-women and pro-gay issues and has frequently stated her pride in her Arab roots - as evidenced by her appearance as herself in the Tunisian film Un été à La Goulette (A Summer in La Goulette). She is involved in many humanitarian causes. She currently lives in Paris.
Claudia Cardinale wrote an autobiography, Moi Claudia, Toi Claudia. In 2005, she also published a French-language book, Mes Etoiles, about her personal and professional relationships with many of her directors and co-stars through her nearly 50 years in show-business.
Claudia Cardinale is UNESCO good will ambassador for the Defense of Women's Rights since 1999. In 2006 (World Water Year) she has symbolically extended such a role for the Defense of the Rights of the Absolute Woman : Mother Earth while declaring her support for Powerstock, a sustainable electronic music festival that proposes a "water-consciousness" for youth culture and seeks to make sustainability an integral part of mainstream culture.

May is Pelvic Pain Awareness Month and at PHRC we want to do our part to help people better understand pelvic pain syndromes and more importantly, help people suffering with these diagnoses get the help they need to recover. Since knowledge is power we created 5 videos and blog posts that we hope people find useful. This week, in our first week of the Pelvic Pain Explained Webinar series, I had the honor of introducing the series and talking about: pelvic floor anatomy and physical therapy. Hopefully, the information in my webinar and in this blog post will help people better understand this often unknown, but important part of the body and know what to expect before a pelvic floor PT appointment.
In case you missed it, here is a link to my Webinar.
I was lucky to speak about pelvic health and physical therapy with Dr. Jess O'Reilly on her podcast Sex with Dr. Jess. and with sex coach Myisha Battle.

The Fuente family's tobacco roots go back to the old world of nineteenth century Cuba. Born in 1887, Arturo Fuente learned the art of cultivating top quality tobacco and manufacturing handmade cigars from his father in Cuba. After immigrating to the United States and finally settling in Tampa, Florida's famous Ybor City, Arturo rolled his first cigar bearing the Fuente family name.
Arturo Fuente is still a family company after all these years, representing four generations of family tradition, and is internationally recognized as the world's finest cigar maker.
As told by Carlos Fuente, Jr.
"My grandfather made Perfecto cigars; they were very popular during the 1920's, 30's and 40's. When I was growing up we made perfectos by hand, but as time went by there were fewer and fewer cigar makers rolling perfectos. As the cigar makers grew older, they retired, they passed away. It took a real master to make a true Perfecto cigar." .
"As a child I was fascinated with that shape and the really difficult art of the craft that the Perfecto cigar represents. So when we first came to the Dominican Republic in 1980, I thought we should start making those shapes again. At that time nobody was making shaped cigars. I wanted to bring back that old world style, just to keep the art, the tradition, the craft, alive." .
"Today we make an entire line of Perfecto cigars. These cigars are something special for our fellow cigar smokers to enjoy." .
"Hemingway cigars have a very warm place in my heart and in my memories. It is very pleasing for me to remember watching these shaped cigars being made by my grandfather, and to think that these cigars are now made in our factory in the Dominican Republic, that is very fulfilling. I hope that you enjoy the Hemingway cigars and what they mean to our family." .

The major problem that colchicine had, however, was that its production started before the FDA was created. This put it on the list of drugs that are "unapproved" by the reputable agency.

Palm Beach County Sheriff's detectives Wednesday evening arrested the second of two men who authorities suspect shot and killed a convenience store clerk and a man who refused to let them commandeer his pickup truck for a getaway last month.
Detectives, working with the Marion County Sheriff's SWAT team, arrested Leonard Spencer, 28, in Ocala, Fla., on Wednesday evening, according to Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokesman Mike McNamee.
Acting on a tip they received earlier Wednesday, Detectives Diane Creston and Robert Fitzgerald arrested Spencer without incident, McNamee said.
Deputies arrested another suspect, Vernon D. Thomas, 23, of Belle Glade, shortly after the killings. He was charged with two counts of murder.
Detectives conducted a massive search in the Belle Glade area but came up with little until they received the tip Wednesday.
The slayings occurred at about midnight on June 13 at the Mister Grocer store at Military Trail and Gun Club Road.
The clerk, Allen R. McAninch, was shot and killed by one of two robbers as McAninch lay face down on the floor behind the counter, one witness said. Witnesses said the men tried, unsuccessfully, to rob the store.
The two men also shot customer Terry Howard, 28, in both arms before leaving the store.
Minutes later, one of the gunmen shot and killed Robert Bragman, 29, as he was leaving a bar about a mile north on Military Trail. McNamee said Bragman was killed at the bar, the English Pub, when he refused to give the robbers his pickup truck for a getaway.

text: My guest for this episode of Heart Lessons is Katie Moormann. I was able to connect with Katie through a mutual friend and I'm so glad I did. Katie has three children and her middle daughter, June, has special needs - a combination of autism and cerebral palsy but no official genetic diagnosis yet. We talk about what it's like to have a seven year old with special needs and how Katie handles her emotions when life feels frustrating and overwhelming. We talk about self-care and being intentional about spending time with her other children and husband. She shares practical ways to support and show love to her and her family. Katie also gives us gracious words to say to those we might encounter at Target or the playground who have children with special needs. I feel so privileged to share Katie's story with you and I know you will be challenged to find contentment and embrace the life God has given you, no matter what it looks like.

Mizuno MP-15 forged irons Review
Last Updated:
What we say...
The grain flow forged MP-15 will replace the MP-59s, and are designed for the better ball striker seeking the feel of a muscleback iron, with the forgiveness and playability of a cavity.
Mizuno has increased the size of the sweetspot while keeping the blade length relatively short. They've done this by forging a newly-shaped 10g piece of titanium – a Ti insert – into the back of the head, replacing 38g of steel. As the head cools during the manufacturing process, it locks this titanium in place. This is said to increase forgiveness by 10 per cent on off-centre hits and maintain the thickness behind the face for a more solid feel. It also allows weight to be shifted to the perimeter to provide "full cavity" forgiveness.
"In MP-15, we've combined the very best of both models," said Mizuno's Chris Voshall, "in the profile, trajectory control and feel of the MP-64, with the peripheral weighting only possible with a Ti insert. There's no more sensory a player than Luke Donald – if the feel gets his approval, it's a pretty good sign."
TG Equipment Editor Joel Tadman was among the first people in Europe to try the irons, and said: "The MP-15 retains that classic Mizuno shape and finish, the shiny chrome sections on the face bordering the lighter groove area really nicely. Reverb up the shaft is nigh on zero as the feel off the face is superb – solid, but soft enough to gauge the strike."
Classic Mizuno shape and finish with the shiny areas on the heel and toe surrounding a more matt silver grooved area. They're compact, though still big enough to attract the more talented and traditional game improvers, and the offset is pretty minimal, another redeeming feature.
You get the sensation of a very solid hit from quite a large area on the face. The sound is muted and doesn't last for long, more of a thud but still with plenty of feedback on the strike – a really strong combination.
It's nice to know that when you don't quite catch one, it won't make too much difference to the distance. All this from a grain flow forged iron too.
MP stands for 'Mizuno Pro' so they're clearly built for the more competent ball striker. That said, there's no reason game improvers can't benefit from the extra 20 per cent forgiveness the MP-15 offers over the MP-59s they are replacing. With a 7-iron loft of 34°, ample distance is achieved through clubhead technology and a mid ball flight rather than cranked lofts. Even with the added forgiveness, they're easy to shape and you can alter the trajectory, too.
Watch our first hit video of the Mizuno MP-15 irons above.
£115 per iron.

Pinion Bearing Preload
Pinion bearing preload is the tension placed on the pinion gear's tapered bearings. A collapsible spacer is used to obtain the specified amount of pressure or preload. This spacer is placed between the bearings. Turning the pinion gear nut crushes the spacer to obtain the specified preload.
This preload prevents the sideways thrust that moves the pinion gear to the outside edge of the ring gear. It acts as a spring to counter this motion. Some heavy duty and more demanding differentials have a solid spacer instead. This type of spacer must be the appropriate size to obtain proper preload.
A collapsible spacer cannot be over-tightened and then backed off. This would leave the pinion bearings with little or no preload at all. It takes a lot of torque to turn the pinion nut and it can be tricky towards the end. Once the companion flange feels snug, turn the pinion nut in 1/8 inch increments, and then with each turn check the turning tension with an inch pound torque wrench.
