Hurricane - Rita

Hurricane Rita weakened slightly to Category 4 status mid-day after having earlier packed 170-mph ( 274-kph) sustained winds as it swirled toward the Gulf of Mexico coast, prompting more than 1.3 million residents in Texas and Louisiana to flee in hopes of avoiding a deadly repeat of Katrina.

The storm is likely to come ashore as a Category 3 or Category 4 hurricane, forecasters said.

Forecasters said Rita could be the strongest hurricane on record to ever hit Texas. Only three Category 5 hurricanes, the highest on the scale, are known to have hit the U.S. mainland -- most recently, Andrew, which smashed South Florida in 1992.

At 8 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) Thursday, Rita was centered about 490 miles (790 kilometers) east-southeast of Galveston and was moving west-northwest near 9 mph (15 kph). Wind speed was 170 mph (274 kph), down slightly from 175 mph (282 kph) earlier in the day. Forecasters predicted it would come ashore along the central Texas coast between Galveston and Corpus Christi. Rainfall from the storm could reach 15 inches (38 centimeters) in spots, the hurricane center said.

Hurricane-force winds extended up to 70 miles (115 kilometers) from the center of the storm, and even a slight rightward turn could prove devastating to the fractured levees protecting New Orleans.

THE MAYBACH 57 S - DYNAMIC LUXURY TO PERFECTION

This is a DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THE MAYBACH 57 S

With the 57 S ("S" stands for Special) Maybach is expanding its model range with a saloon which combines contemporary luxury, ultimate comfort and state-of-the-art, high-performance technology to the level of perfection typical of the brand.

With this more powerful and individualised variant of the Model 57 Saloon, Maybach meets the exclusive wishes of demanding customers for even more performance and dynamic handling.

The new, more powerful twelve-cylinder powerpack in the Maybach 57 S has a displacement of six litres and an output of 450 kW/612 hp thanks to a twin turbocharger and water intercooling. The impressive maximum torque of 1000 Nm (electronically limited) is available over a wide range between 2000 and 4000 rpm. The engine produces a blistering performance and accelerates the Maybach 57 S from zero to 100 km/h in just five seconds. This provides effortless performance reserves at all times for the more sportily inclined Maybach driver.

The twelve-cylinder bi-turbo engine is assembled by hand. The "one man – one engine" philosophy – confirmed by the signature of the technician responsible on the engine cover of the V12 bi-turbo – guarantees the highest quality and attention to detail.

Effortless superiority:suspension

The suspension of the Maybach 57 S features the Adaptive Damping System ADS II. By modifying and stiffening the suspension configuration of the 57 S, Maybach developers have succeeded in reconciling different requirements perfectly. It can be relied upon to ensure that the impressive performance and very high dynamic potential can be safely and effortlessly transferred to the road at all times. At the same time the very high level of ride comfort for which the Maybach luxury saloons are known remains unimpaired. Striking 20-inch spoked wheels with size 275/45 R 20 Michelin Pilot Sport tyres complete the suspension system and visually underline the car's sporty and dynamic appearance.

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP), acceleration skid control (ASR) and the braking system have been configured for the increased performance potential and consistently ensure an optimal level of passive safety in the Maybach 57 S.

Dynamic lines:exterior

Discreet and tasteful highlights underline the decidedly dynamic external appearance of the new Maybach 57 S.

The front end features a redesigned radiator grille with double louvres. The headlamps have likewise been redesigned, with backgrounds painted in the vehicle colour. The brilliant and aesthetically appealing overall impression of the front end is rounded off by fog lamps with new chrome surrounds

The rear view is characterised by a newly designed rear apron. This integrates the prominent, chrome-plated exhaust tailpipes on the left and right into the vehicle contours and emphasises their attractiveness. The boot lid bears the lettering "Maybach" and "57 S", and the model designation may also be found on the wings beneath the A-pillars.

The car is only available with a special metallic black or metallic silver paint finish.

Luxurious touches: interior

The individually designed interior of the Maybach 57 S has an atmosphere of its own. This is in large part due to interior features which are coated in piano lacquer or trimmed in carbon – these are trimmed in wood in Maybach saloons.

Particular attention to detail is obvious in the centre console: this innovative creation consisting of piano-lacquered and carbon features is another powerful interior highlight which visually underlines the impressive performance potential of this Maybach model. As an alternative, Maybach customers can also opt for a likewise new variant in anthracite poplar wood rather than the carbon components.

The likewise new leather upholstery, which is optionally available in black with the silver exterior or in light-coloured leather with a black exterior, is perfectly coordinated with this colour scheme. The sporty impression is enhanced with colour-contrasted piping on the seat upholstery. The selector lever knob in the interior colour and the steering wheel covered in black, partly perforated leather ideally complement the interior colour scheme.

The speedometers in the dashboard instrument cluster and the roof console in the rear of the 57 S are graduated up to a speed of 198.83 mph (320 km/h). All the controls are arranged in the driver’s field of vision and reach, and underscore the tasteful layout, perfect proportions and driver-oriented layout of the cockpit in the Maybach 57 S.

Exclusive comfort: new interior design of the rear

The design of the head restraints has been adapted to suit the stylish interior. Even on longer journeys at higher speeds, their ergonomic shape ensures optimal relaxation and the level of comfort typical of a Maybach.

An opaque curtain is optionally available for the large, black-tinted rear window. This shields the interior from prying eyes while creating a pleasant, subdued lighting effect even during daylight hours.

Matching the interior colour scheme, the roof lining and side trim in the 57 S are in anthracite Alcantara. This emphasises the dynamic and elegant atmosphere even further and ideally accentuates the effect of the black piano-lacquered surrounds of the roof instruments.

Carefully selected leather, materials of very high quality and the painstaking workmanship in the interior of the Maybach 57 S impressively reflect the high quality standards to which the Maybach custom workshops are committed.

Do Not board Autos just from Front of an ATM

Please Do Not board Autos just from Front of an ATM.. walk a bit andThen board an Auto.

A person called Fiaz(Accenture Employee) went to Anand Rao Circle,Bangalore ICICI bank ATM last Saturday 24.7.04 and drew Rs. 4000/- cashand took a auto standing in front of the ATM.

After 2 Minutes of drive this auto driver stopped the vehicle and made a phone call on his cell phone. Our guy didn't bother much and thought the auto driver may have some urgency.
The auto was going towards Majestic and in the next signal 2 hefty guysand 1 beautiful girl rushed into this auto.

1 guy sat on the iron bar and the girl sat next to him and the other guy next to her. The guy sat on the iron bar branded a knife, the other guy caught his throat and the girl put her legs above his lap and held his hands.

The guy with the knife started banging him on his face and he started bleeding ....our guy was speechless and they didn't stop beating...he was not able to even shout for help as theother guy
caught on his throat ! The gang threatened him that if he shouts for help they will say that this guy is kidnapping the girl and the 2 guys came for rescue and auto driver is approver for that !!

They took his cash of Rs. 4000/-, took his watch and picked up his mobile.As the mobile was old model they returned to him ! All in the journey,while they kept beating him. After looting everything they pushed him from the auto in cubbon road and flew away. He was bleedingfrom his broken lipand didn't even note down the auto number becoz of the rude shock.

You know what - all this happened between 1 - 1.30pm of the day in one of the busiest area of Bangalore !! who told Auto is safe to travel ??!! Please be careful before getting into an auto especially after you come out of a ATM !!

Rupee in Time of Britishers at India

Small Denomination Notes

The introduction of small denomination notes in India was essentially in the realm of the exigent. Compulsions of the first World War led to the introduction of paper currency of small denominations. Rupee One was introduced on 30th November, 1917 followed by the exotic Rupees Two and Annas Eight. The issuance of these notes was discontinued on 1st January, 1926 on cost benefit considerations. These notes first carried the portrait of King George V and were the precursors of the 'King's Portrait' Series which were to follow.

Joke of the Day

On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a young guy leaning againstthe wall, doing nothing. He approached the young man and calmly said to him, How much do you earn?" The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, he replied, none the less, "I earn Rs 2 000.00 a month, Sir. Why?"
Without answering, the MD took out his wallet and removed Rs 6000.00 cash And gave it to the young man and said, "Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is 3 months' salary, now GET OUT and don't comeback".
The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight. Noticing a Few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner, "And that applies for everybody in this company". He approached one of the onlookers and asked him, "Who 's the young man that I just fired ?" To which anamazing reply came of, "He was the pizza delivery man, Sir...!!!"
