Before she began her acting career she shot to fame when she won the Miss World contest in 1994. Her movie debut followed three years later in 1997 when she appeared in critically acclaimed director Mani Ratnam's Iruvar. Critical and commercial success came just a year later with her third project Jeans, directed by S. Shankar. Vishu and Ramu (both played by the talented Prashanth) are twin
The University of Utah Hospitals & Clinics are getting ready to inform approximately 2.2 million patients and guarantors that their information may be compromised, although they’d find it highly unlikely. According to businesswire.com, a company hired by the University of Utah lost a shipment of tapes with backups of billing records. The tapes allegedly had the Social Security nu
Quite a day. Lots and lots and lots of tasty music that took me back to a place I’d never thought about. These folks all seem serious – they are not simply re-creating a sound, they are adding to our collective consciousness. The songs sound like they would fit into the 60’s perfectly, without any ear-jarring bloopers; yet manage to not sound exactly like any other song from the 60’s. Oh s

It was 40 years ago today that Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated on the balcony of a Memphis, Tennessee motel. Like so many others---known or unknown---King worked tirelessly for the rights of others, and he was one more who fell unnecessarily to the unforgiving hand of violence.Race still matters in this country, and it touches every person on Earth, and although King's dream is still not fully realized, we all carry the collective responsibility to see it through. From astronomical rates of incarceration for young men of color to predatory lending targeted at communities of color, there is indeed still a long way to go.In memory of Dr. King, may we all still stand for justice.
Sorry Mo'Kelly hasn't been updating The Mo'Kelly Report much this week. He's been away on business in Memphis. Yes, 40 years ago, today...the Lorraine Motel.To see it in person, to see the perfectly enshrined room of Dr. King and to walk where he did the moments before his death...chilling.There really aren't words to describe it. Mo'Kelly's seen this photo ten thousand times...but to actually BE there...on the anniversary...No words can express...That's all for now.Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968

The Legendary Roots Crew, are an influential, Grammy Award-winning American band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, famed for a heavily jazzy sound and live instrumentation. They made their debut in 1993 and have gone on to collaborate with artists from a range of genres, such as Roy Ayers and Cody Chesnutt. Inspired by Stetsasonic, The Roots themselves have garnered critical acclaim and influenced later beat and R&B acts.The group's original lineup was formed in Philadelphia around 1987.[1]
Life has changed beyond recognition for many Americans since an assassin’s bullet killed Martin Luther King in 1968.

As my mother and I reviewed the 40th edition of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? I thought about the first time I saw the original movie. It was the first movie I ever saw in color. Also, it was the first movie my father took us to see at the drive-in.Yes, I said the drive-in. I know Generation Y, X, Z (whatever they're calling themselves nowadays) don't know anything about the drive-in-which brings to mind the time my mother and I were looking for a copy of the movie for our family library.We went into Best Buy, Circuit City and Wal-Mart. We purchased the movie at Wal-Mart. No, we didn't have to fish it out of the movie bins they have sprinkled in the back of the store. It was actually on the shelf in one of their display cases.What was interesting was the associates at these stores had no i

ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT BLASTS DEMOCRAT CONGRESS Failure of democrats to accomplish anything and Bush’s rather amazing victory anger kook fringe leftwingers Jimmy Z - 0 for 45. That’s how ABC’s World News Tonight characterized the ineffective and unproductive democrat led Congress as they failed to beat a lame duck, supposedly dismal-polling President. Sure, ABC News was probably thrashing the liberals in Congress out of deep frustration with their elected leftist cohorts. But whatever the motivation, it was wonderful indeed to see the national drive by media finally acknowledge it: In 2008, Bush is the clear victor. In spite of his lame duck status (going in, after the democrats won both houses of Congress, it appeared this would be the lamest of ducks!), and in spite of polling numbers that fell lower and lower and lower, Pelosi and Reid were both abject failures in their respective houses. That’s not me saying it; that’s ABC News. [Sidebar
Every few years some prominent baby boomer cleans out their attic, finds some anti-war crap they didn't know they still had and yearns for the better days. This time it was Tom Brokaw's turn and his book "1968' which also aired as a special on History Channel recently.
1968 was a time of free love, change, and great upheaval. Free love leads to free hair growth however and nothing is less attractive then women with armpit hair. But the worst is not trimming the hedges, as the kids like to say. The last thing I want to see is what looks like Chewbacca in a leg-lock below the waist. Call me old-fashioned but I am a firm believer in the wood floor or the landing strip thank you very little.
Times like these always bring back fun fashion icons like tie-dyed clothing. The tie dye shirt is a great symbol of how the Boomers screwed Generation X. But man, those seats I got for the Sound Tribe Sector Nine show are killer dude! I'm gonna sit in the parking lot and sell stir fry and b
When contemplating any subject, I often intentionally avoid researching it. After all, I think, part of writing has to come from what I already know, not what I set out to learn. Only then can I test my apprehension, from what I think I understand, assuming it’s worth writing in the first place.
If I read before I thought about a subject, how could I be sure my thoughts weren’t influenced by someone else, or arising from an external source?
As long as I keep my mind open, I’m on safe ground, taking an initial introspect point of view. That’s assuming that it’s possible to separate what I think I know from what I have learned from the life I have already lived, which has already been affected by many circumstances set in motion.
Another point of view might question the ability to write before exploring other perspectives, because limited knowledge is insufficient to make conclusions. Although, that would be true of science or math. If life really is &ldquo
That's me -- a researching and writing fiend, working my fingers to, well, bloody stumps. (Hey, it's a living. A good living.)

By: Elmo Kandel When you get to be forty you may be thinking what am I supposed to do now? You may be tired of your present job and looking for something else. If you are in this situation, you need to think about it so that you are able to find the career path that will work best for you and give you the satisfaction that you are looking for.The first thing that you need to do is evaluate where you have been in your life and ask yourself if this is enough. Do you get up each morning and decide that you do not want to get out of bed? If so, you may want to think about your life a little more closely. Can you think of what you would rather be doing and how you can make it happen for you in life? It may just be time for a change in your life.If you are working for just any job and any boss, you deserve much more. This is your time to work for yourself and be who you want to be. There are plenty of things in the world that you can conquer when you put your mind to it. All you have to do i

Another manager is the winner of the Monday contest, this time her name’s Margaret and she managers a self-described “high-end restaurant”. That means no microwaves to reheat grilled-cheese sandwiches. No bottles of Hershey’s chocolate syrup to pour over bowls of cheap ice cream. In other words, not my type of restaurant, but probably good nonetheless. It’s short and sweet, but it’s such a common occurrence in the restaurant industry (and I had a boring week of emails from you guys). Enjoy!
A family of six are seated – and the father at the table looks at the menu and says very loudly and with a heavy southern accent:
“I can’t eat here, they ain’t got nothing fried!”
He then proceeds to ask the waiter if we could deep-fry something for her. She couldn’t believe that we didn’t have a deep-fryer. They ended up leaving, but not before informing the waitstaff that they were now in search of a restaurant that knows “how to properly co
If you haven't read this post, then I suggest you do. Here's an excerpt:Of all religions and philosophies, Christianity provides the most thorough and complete explanation of the facts of the human condition, and is simultaneously the answer that most satisfies my sense of the fitness and order that ought to be. My pessimistic temperament says that it is probably not true. But my ability even to have such a concept as truth must arise from the existence of a real external world and my consciousness of a possible gap between what I believe about it and what is in fact the case. I’m certain that truth exists; why not Truth? And must not the explanation that best accounts for the facts be true, or at least more true than others? Christianity, then, the most wildly improbable of systems, remains, paradoxically, the most reasonable, and (therefore) the one that commands my assent.

And now I am nearly forty-three, and it feels as young as dandelions and unopened presents and a new straw hat.Happy.Birthday.To me.

I recently received an inspirational e-mail from a reader who like me had the dream of accumulating $1,000,000 by age forty. Although she has not yet met that mark she has accumulated a large six figure portfolio and is on track to have a million bucks by forty. I asked her about her investing strategy and she was kind enough to give me the 9 rules that she has followed to achieve her wealth.1. Don't invest money you can't lose.2. Take any tax advantages you can.3. Receive cash from dividend and reinvest.4. Don't invest more than 50% of your money with asset managers.5. Listen to old, rich people.6. Put as much as you can into your kids names (tax advantage).7. Spend some of your money to enjoy life.8. Give some of your wealth away.9. Bring your spouse on your journey.She also gave me some advice on my portfolio --- hold more real estate and take more risks...
Patrick Martucci Storyhttp://www.unitedasset.com/In 1980, Patrick Martucci, just out of high school, left his hometown of Cleveland with $300, pointing his Trans Am toward Dallas. He landed a $6-an-hour job at a company that was launching an odd, new product at the time -- "voice forward mail."When he tried to explain voice mail to his grandmother, she thought he was a postal worker. Others, however, caught on. He was soon in the sales department, where he was a natural. "I had the opportunity to watch a product go out the door and gain world-wide acceptance," he says.He leapfrogged to increasingly challenging jobs across the telecom industry, setting up distribution channels, running sales departments. A stark opportunity stared him in the face when he worked at a company that provided maintenance on Rolm phone equipment. Mr. Martucci was thrilled to pitch a sale to J.C. Penney, which, after a trial, offered him the maintenance contract for the entire retail chain's phone service. Bu
Forty Hours and a ResolutionPosted at: http://www.bravehumans.com/2007/02/23/forty-hours-and-a-resolution/Posted with permissionHello all. Before I get into this post, I would like to reiterate Rick’s plea to expand the reach of Bravehumans. If you read my posts you know I’m a Democrat, and I lean at least a bit (maybe a lot) to the left. This describes the majority of the folks I’ve met here on Bravehumans, and that is problem I am desperate to solve. We need balanced presentation: left, right, and center for Bravehumans to work. We have the left, we have SOME of the center, but we need much more for the right. Please, if you’re a conservative and what you read here makes you think or just annoys you, comment and post. If you know a conservative, please turn him or her on to the site. The point of the post that follows here is the importance of having real, substantive debate. You need all relevant sides to have a debate, and then you have to gather the courage to have one. Pl

I inherited my mom’s shapely legs. Every year I won the award for “Best Looking Legs” at the high school dance team’s gala. On its face that’s a superficial award. However, for a teenager who had spent the previous years wearing a variety of back braces and still required spine surgery for scoliosis, it was thrilling to recognize that there was something attractive about my scarred body.
When I was pregnant, I acquired another of my mom’s traits, but this one wasn’t so alluring. Purplish spider veins popped out on my legs, with a big clump located over my left knee. This area was tender to touch and I looked like Bill had been beating me in odd places.
“No worries,” said my ever-cheerful mother. “I have a doctor who can zap those suckers with a little saline and they’ll be gone!”
I resisted at first. Wasn’t I supposed to love my body as it is: big feet, tiny bosoms, fireplug nipples, scar from n

JT (Justin Timberlake) has a new album out, this album has an awesome song on it called Losing My Way. The song has a great feel to it and is catchy, as most JT songs are.There is something that pisses me off so much about this song. It speaks of "the pipe" and speaks of poverty, dropping out of school and failure. The opening line: "Hi my name is Bob I work at my job, I make forty-sumtin' dollars a day." What pisses me off is that JT in all his wealth reckons that $45 (+-) a day is a poverty stricken, drug induced wage. My son, let me tell you that JT has no fucking clue about poverty. If you work out the conversion and a monthly salary on $45 a day it comes to a whopping R6930 a month. Fuckin' shit bags that's not bloody bad if you ask me.I recently did a story on a project for the blind in a township in Jo'burg. there were 16 people that worked at this project. The monthly grant for unemployed blind people is +-R900. The project was earning each of them a couple hundred more. Le
