Please Help....

Look at the picture of the little baby. Isn't he really cute? But his eyes are desperately looking at us seeking help. Balaraju, a 9 month old son of Ravinder, a daily wager of Nehrungar in the vicinity of Shapurnagar is born with Biliary Atresia (absence of transport system from Bile to the intestines). This requires Liver Transplantation as early as possible. The doctors who examined estimate the cost to be approx. Rs. 17 Lakhs. This news published in Eenadu Telugu daily was brought to our attention us by Sri Naveen Choudary, an active NATS member from Canada, who is contributing $2240.00 from his own pocket. NATS Helpline team is actively pursuing the matter with the doctors in India to expedite the required effort to see this little heart Balaraju comes out safely and bring light in their family. Any contribution to this cause is highly welcomed and as always NATS will match the funds received appropriately. All your donations are fully tax deductable as NATS is a 501 © organization. Please make your check payable to "North America Telugu Society, Inc." with "Help for Balaraju" in the memo and mail it to North America Telugu Society, P. O. Box 810096, Boca Raton, FL 33481-0096.

Sincerely,

NATS Helpline Team

I got the above email from NATS( North America Telugu Society), So, I am sure this is a genuine request for help and so is the reason, I am posting it over here.

New Oracle Certification Exam Delivery Vendor - Pearson VUE

Beginning September 25, 2009, Oracle certification exams will be offered through a new test delivery vendor – Pearson VUE -- and will no longer be available through Prometric.

Pearson VUE currently offers certification testing in more than 4,500 test centers worldwide, and we believe it will provide excellent service and global testing coverage for Oracle certification exams.

After September 13, candidates will no longer be able to register with Prometric (although candidates may still take their exam at Prometric through September 25). Registrations for Oracle exams through Pearson VUE will begin on September 14, 2009. Candidates should visit www.pearsonvue.com/oracle to find more information, register for an exam or locate a testing center in their area. Existing Oracle exam vouchers will continue to be valid as long as they have not expired.

With the change from Prometric to Pearson VUE, we expect no disruption in availability of testing. However candidates should be aware of two system issues that may affect the shipment of your certificate and the timing of your certification. First, maintenance to Oracle's certification database during the transition period may delay the shipment of your printed certificate up to two or three weeks. Second, our Hands On Course Requirement forms system will be down for maintenance from September 14 – September 28, 2009 while a new streamlined system is brought online. During the downtime, Oracle will work diligently to clear and validate all submitted forms but no new submissions will be accepted. If you currently have an outstanding form that needs your attention, please respond to ocpreq_ww@oracle.comwith the requested information as soon as possible to avoid a delay in receiving your success kit. After September 28, 2009 a new tool, the Course Submission Form, will be live on the Pearson VUE website.

We have provided more information and a series of FAQs on the Oracle Certification Program website for common questions related to the vendor change. For additional questions or further assistance, please contact Oracle Certification at ocpexam_ww@oracle.com.

We are excited about this transition, and are confident that this change will improve our service to you.

JOSH Movie and Chaitu's Performance - My TaKe !!

Guyzz, Here I come with "My Take" on JOSH movie and Chaitu's performance in that........I was eagerly waiting for this movie from the time, this movie was announced....just to watch Chaitu's performance on screen....below is "my take" on JOSH movie and especially Naga Chaitanya....believe me, I am very honest in this take !!

First of all, I want to talk regarding Chaitu's acting, than the movie, as, I(and many others) was/were more curious into that......Believe me, his acting was too good for a debut movie and all of them who watched the movie felt the same...ofcourse, there were some negative points also....below is the complete list of +'s and -'s

+ve's in Chai's acting:

1. Acting with ease....no tension shown before the camera

2. Uttering lengthy dialogues....wow, what a job for a first timer! (there was a 3min dialogue in the hospital scene).

3. Fights....really fantastic

-ve's:

1. Dances were good, but, should improve a bit.

2. He looked bit shy in romantic scenes ;)....actually,there was only one romantic scene in the movie and he looked bit shy..this can be overlooked I guess for a first timer..

except for these two -ve's he was full of JOSH on screen.... I bet, a STAR has arrived to Telugu Cinema!!

Now, coming to the Movie....here I just want to point out the highlights and negative points which came to my mind after I have watched the movie

Highlights:

1. As I said above, Chaitu's performance....

2. Dialogues in the movie....very thoughtfully written(It was by the director Vasu Varma himself)

3. Some scenes which elevated the movie(like the police station one, hospital scene, scenes with Prakash raj, Flash back entire episode and few others).

3. Story(By the director again)

5. Cinematography.

6. Music and Lyrics were a plus in my opinion esp for "Neetho unte" and "Bad Bad boy".

Bad:

1. Screen play was not very effective for such a good story...Direction was good in parts though...

2. Editing was not crisp ( First time, I felt Marthand K Venkatesh did just a OK job).

3. Choreographyy was bad for first song(Bad Bad boy)...when they know that will the first song in the movie, I wonder why they choreographed it in such a manner...I expected a lot from the first song...but others are far better than the first one choreography wise..

4. Comedy was there, but was not much effective.....

Overall ga, from my point of view, its a decent movie....and a Excellent Debut for NagaChaitanya.
