space-T
space-T is nothing space tourism...
Make your reservations now. The space tourism industry is officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere $20 million for a one-week stay in space. Despite reluctance from NASA, Russia made American businessman Dennis Tito the world's first space tourist. Tito flew into space aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket that arrived at the International Space Station on April 30, 2001. The second space tourist, South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth, took off aboard the Russian Soyuz on April 25, 2002, also bound for the ISS. Greg Olsen, an American businessman, became tourist number three to the ISS on October 1, 2005.
On September 18, 2006, Anousheh Ansari, a telecommunications entrepreneur, became the first female space tourist and the fourth space tourist overall. She was also the first person of Iranian descent to make it into space. Charles Simonyi, a software architect, became the fifth space tourist on April 7, 2007.
These trips are the beginning of what could be a lucrative 21st century industry. There are already several space tourism companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital cities within the next two decades. These companies have invested millions, believing that the space tourism industry is on the verge of taking off.
In 1997, NASA published a report concluding that selling trips to space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars. A Japanese report supports these findings, and projects that space tourism could be a $10 billion per year industry within the two decades. The only obstacles to opening up space to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch vehicle.
If you've ever dreamed of going to space and doing what only a few hundred people have done, then read on. In this article, you'll learn about the spacecraft being designed as destinations for space tourists, and how you may one day have a chance to cruise through the solar system.
Russia's Mir space station was supposed to be the first destination for space tourists. But in March 2001, the Russian Aerospace Agency brought Mir down into the Pacific Ocean. As it turned out, bringing down Mir only temporarily delayed the first tourist trip into space.
The Mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game show from NBC, which was going to be called Destination Mir. The Survivor-like TV show was scheduled to air in fall 2001. Participants on the show were to go through training at Russia's cosmonaut training center, Star City. Each week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the show, with the winner receiving a trip to the Mir space station. Mir's demise rules out NBC's space plans for now. NASA is against beginning space tourism until the International Space Station is completed in 2006.
Russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. There are several projects underway to commercialize space travel.

movie buzz
Do u feel recent movies had went some change in taking..? it went on tremendous changes starting from light boy to editor.
All technicians had import new technology.There is continuous developmentin making of a movie.You can see this difference by seeing movies frm 90's to 21st century.Mechanisms for producing artificially created, two-dimensional images in motion were demonstrated as early as the 1860s, with devices such as the zoetrope and the praxinoscope. These machines were outgrowths of simple optical devices (such as magic lanterns) and would display sequences of still pictures at sufficient speed for the images on the pictures to appear to be moving, a phenomenon called persistence of vision. Naturally, the images needed to be carefully designed to achieve the desired effect — and the underlying principle became the basis for the development of film animation.
The story line also went a different change.Infact the story of recent movieswere about current issues and even it had great impact on audiencesome of the good soure technological films were TRANSFORMERS,MATRIX,LORD OF THE RINGS.and some of the good story line movies were DAY AFTER TOMORROW ,which is all about global warmingeffects.

passport awareness
Hi firiends,i am not sure about this post।But as i got some information regarding passport vigilance.So if i am wrong in it please correct me by using your comments. Be Careful at the Indian Airports, This is a well-organized conspiracy by Indian Immigration, Police, Customs and Air India staff with networking at all the Indian International Airports.
Be watchful whenever you give your passport to Immigration/ Customs/Air India staff। The passport can बे easily tampered and can create trouble to you। They have found easy way of making money from NRIs. This is the way it works. At the time of the passenger's departure, if the passenger is not looking at the officer while he is stamping the exit, the officer very cleverly tears away one of the page from the passport.
When the passenger leaves the immigration counter, the case is reported on his computer terminal with full details। Now all over India they have got full details of the passenger with Red Flag flashing on the Passport number entered by the departure immigration officer। They have made their money by doing above। On arrival next time, he is interrogated. Subject to the passenger's period of stay abroad, his income and standing etc., the price to get rid of the problem is settled by the Police and Immigration people. If someone argues, his future is spoiled because there are always some innocent fellows who think the honesty is the basis of getting justice in India . Which is wrong...Please advise every passenger to be careful at the airport? Whenever they hand over the passport to the counters of Air India , or immigration or the customs, they must be vigilant, should not remove eyes from the passport even if the officer in front tries to divert their attention. Also, please pass this information to all friends, media men and important politicians. Every month 20-30 cases are happening all over India to rob the NRIs the minute he lands. Similar case has happened with Armco¢s Arifuddin. He was traveling with his family. They had six passports. They got the visa of America and decided to go via Hyderabad from Jeddah. They reached Hyderabad . Stayed about a month and left for the States. When they reached the States, the page of the American visa on his wife's passport was missing. At the time of departure from Hyderabad it was there, the whole family had to return to Hyderabad helplessly. On arrival at Bombay back, the police caught them and now it is over 2 months, they are running after the Police, Immigration officers and the Courts. On going in to details with him, he found out the following: One cannot imagine, neither can believe, that the Indian Immigration dept can play such a nasty game to harass the innocent passengers. All the passengers traveling to & fro India via Bombay and Hyderabad must be aware of this conspiracy. Every month 15 to 20 cases are taking place, at each mentioned airport, of holding the passengers in the crime of tearing away the passport pages. On interviewing some of them, none of them was aware of what had happened. They don't know why, when and who tore away the page from the middle of the passport. One can imagine the sufferings of such people at the hands of the immigration, police and the court procedures in India after that. The number of cases is increasing in the last 2-3 years. People who are arriving at the immigration, they are questioned and their passports are being held and they have to go in interrogations. Obviously, the conspiracy started about 2 to 3 years ago, now the results are coming. Some of the Air India counter staff too is involved in this conspiracy. KINDLY SEND THIS TO AS MANY AS YOUR FRIENDS ACROSS THE WORLD AND ALSO REQUEST THEM TO CHECK THE PASSPORT AT THE CHECKING COUNTERS AND BEFORE LEAVING THE AIRPORT.

APSRTC money mind
APSRTC is nothinig but Andhra pradesh state road transport and corporationwhich is solely responsible of connecting different road lines.It connects thousandsof kilometers and miles of distance.It is one of the biggest roadway networks in India.Generally it is on profit side both to government and as well as employees side.But suddenly there is something gone wrong in the workers minds.the disesase called "more money"With that disease the whole government falls down during couple of months ago.They came out with demands,unless and until government satisfy their demandsthey will not to go their seats of respective working places. As usual government denies their demands.Because the employess demands looks like VIP's luxury activities.Initially workers started shaping their imaginations into great buildings.But after government refusalthey lost their hopes and they come down in their spirits.As in frustratation they suspend their woking hours by themselves ans started protesting government.This protest does not have any impact on government but finally people fell great impact on that.Time is so preciuos but there were no timely buses on those dates.Many people who were students,job holders,aged men women suffered alot for a small issue between APSRTC and andhra government.People having less common sense and civic sense in this modern world.They never thought about their fellow beings.They will not pretend to do good manship to their co-people. Atlast government came down and they did not accept about their full demands.Only some them they accepted.Some deal was happen there and protest was terminated on the next day.But still APSRTC guys doing some fucking things which is frustrating andhra government.By this real time example one can come to conclusion that "man is always greedy"

CD-B
Guyz got confused with CD-B....It's nothing but COOL DRINK Vs BEER.
The reason why i started writing about this contrasting topic is due to recent issues wich have been faced in india.By seeing some couple of issues wich was happened in india especially about cool drinks.In my prospective beer is the best rather than cool drink.
Cool dirnks in india can be used as pesticides in fields.Because the content of pesticides in cool dirnks were quite high.Even it is hazardous to health also.Thatsy, it was banned in karnataka schools.But coming to beer comparison with cool drinks ,parents felt that beer much more better than consuming cool drinks.They are ready to consume beer also.It was not their mistake,the situation makes them to do that.In future parents will encourage their children to drink beer than beveraged drinks.So government has to do something inorder to avoid that situation.
Do you know where the mistaken has took? Obviously the mistake has been took in plant industries.For preparing cool drinks water has been subjected to many chemicals.After that it under goes some purification process.For purification process,it cost more for industries.Not only this there are some more places where water has not been treated.Sometimes fresh water will be bought by the consumers bu some retailers make money of it by sseeling it with high rates.So industreis will go for un-hygeine water.
Ultimately,for the sake of money man is commiting so many mistakes.Money makes human to be unfaithful and unkindful.Even people writing blogs for the sake of money not by intreset,including me also.
So system has to be changed.Try to work for your people and for the society.
