Best april fool messages 2012 !!!!!!!!!!

Want in on the battle plan??  I found several great ideas that I’m contemplating…

1.  I’ve always heard to keep your enemies close, so I’m thinking we’ll start off the morning with breakfast, together.  And, for breakfast, I’m talking an ice cream sundae bar.  “Kids, come and get breakfast!”  What?  No eggs, pancakes, cereal?  Nope.  Ice cream, brownies, bananas, bowls of different candies, hot fudge sauce, whip cream, and sooooooo on.  They’ll be utterly confused, wondering if I’ve already waved my white flag.  A perfect state of mind for launching my surprise attacks.

2.  I’m thinking a little food coloring or syrup in the soap dispenser would be nice…

3.  All their clean underwear on the ceiling fan…

4.  A little frosting in their toothpaste.

5.  The kids are never allowed to drink their daddy’s Mountain Dew, until April Fool’s Day, when it’s been switched out for pickle juice.  Yum!

6.  Switch out the bottle of blue Windex (cleaned really well), for blue GatorAid.  Giving my mouth a few sprays, while they help me clean up.

7.  Mouse poop in their beds! (A.K.A. dry rice painted black)  “I told you to stop eating in your bed!  Now, look!  You’ve got mice!”

8.  How about a little treat?  Oreos and milk….or really Oreo’s with toothpaste filling.  Ick!

9.  Maybe I’ll show them the new science experiment I learned.  They’re all about science experiments.  A stick of butter, at room temperature, on a plate, generously covered in salt, produces heat.  Did you know that?  Put your hand over it to feel the heat.  “Ha! Just kidding,” as I slap their hand into the butter.  What a nice mom.

10.  After I wear them out and they’re nice and comfy in their beds…squirt gun attack!  They will rue the day that they ever messed with me.

Oh, and let me tell you…I have the perfect one for my husband!  I figure if I’m going to start a war, might as well go big.  He is so in love with his precious truck, it’s crazy.  So, I’m thinking of wrapping some duck tape around his side view mirror, as if it’s holding it on to the truck.  When he notices, I’ll sheepishly say, “Sorry.  I bumped the side of the garage.  The duck tape fixed it pretty good, but I wasn’t able to get that scratch out of the side.”  Sucka.

Have a fun holiday!

The event will be held from April 4 to May 27 with the inaugural match to be played in Chennai. But according to the new IPL schedule, the opening ceremony will be held a day before the inaugural game i.e. on April 3rd.

'Ninja Gaiden 3' Review - Fighting The Dragon !!!!!!!

The Ninja Gaiden franchise is a bit of an anomaly in today's gaming world. A classic NES franchise that seemingly died off in the 16-bit era, only to be revived on the original Xbox in grand fashion, followed by a success of updates and sequels. It's not often that a game series can lay dormant for so long, only to return so triumphantly, but, with Team Ninja at the helm, the new games pushed the boundaries of the ninja subgenre. While the classic titles and the ones adapted for modern console generations have very little in common, there were two ties that bind them; the main character, Dragon Ninja Ryu Hayabusa, and their patience crippling difficulty. Only one of those returns in the series' latest release,Ninja Gaiden 3.

After a terrorist group lays siege on Great Britain and holds the Prime Minister hostage, their only demand is to bring them the famed Ryu Hayabusa. Always ready to step into the role of hero, Hayabusa obliges, thus beginning another twisted tale of deceit, brutality, and (most importantly) lots and lots of sword slashing. As the plot unfolds, it turns out the nefarious corporation LOA is involved, with the brains of the operation being a mysterious masked man, claiming to be a modern day alchemist. It's up to Ryu, and his small support team, to investigate before a final calamity is released on humanity in seven days.

Ninja Gaiden 3 plays out very similarly to its predecessors; it's a third-person ninja game that has you slicing and dicing your way through different types of enemies in a variety of different locations. This time around, Ryu is only packing a few weapons, working his way through a series of different blades, which are complimented by a bow, and his shuriken. A new addition to the series is multiplayer, which can be played in either co-op or competitive modes, both of which are unique experiences, especially in the Ninja Gaiden world.

Ryu's return signifies that a lot of people are going to die, so much so that this has become one of the major story points in the game. Our hero's arm has become infected with a mysterious evil, and is slowly taking over, but that doesn't mean that Ryu is heading over to the dark side. Much like many other parts of the game, the main character gets a bit of a revamp in Ninja Gaiden 3, going from an ice-cold ninja killer to a more visibly emotional man on a mission. If this seems a bit suspect to anyone that has played the previous games in the series, it's just the beginning.

The game's controls received the biggest tweaks in Ninja Gaiden 3, making a shift from a veritable thumb ballet to a much more mash-centric control scheme. Without a host of weapons to choose from, Hayabusa must mainly rely on his sword, which isn't too different from NG1 and NG2, but the button mashing is. Boiled down, the attacks in NG3 mainly consist of pressing "X" a whole lot. You'll find yourself occasionally switching it up with "Y" for a strong attack, and even jumping to "B" for the occasional ninja star, but the vast majority of the battles can be won by button spamming. It's a vast change from a series that has always forced players to be so calculating.

The other big change in NG3 is that fact that most battles can be won by button spamming. That's right, the latest game in the series that has cost you so many smashed controllers has become easier. Ryu will still be swarmed by hordes of foes, but patience, a smart course of attack, and well-timed use of his two special attacks will allow for most gamers to walk through normal mode, at least until the battle with the T-Rex (yup, that happens). Upping the ante to the game's harder settings make for a scenario that is a bit more reminiscent of the previous two games, but it's still not really the same.

Perhaps in an attempt to truly separate this game apart from the rest of the Gaiden series,NG3's multiplayer offers an interesting diversion from the game's solo mode. For starters, there are co-op optional missions, ninja trials that test your skills at taking down waves of bad guys. In addition to that, there's the team-based, competitive clan battle mode, which pits teams of up to four ninjas each against each other. It's a slashing good time, at least for a little while, well worth committing a little energy to if you happen to pick up the game.

Right out of the gate, you get a sense that a lot of focus went into making Ninja Gaiden 3look amazing, because it does. However, once you see through the polish, it's pretty clear that something is off. It takes a level or two to realize it, but a vital part of the game is clearly missing from Ninja Gaiden 3; that ninja essence just isn’t there. Whether it's that the game's difficulty has been dialed down, the gameplay itself has been streamlined, or the fact that this is the first Ninja Gaiden game without Tomonobu Itagaki at the helm, Gaiden 3 is definitely not on the same level as its predecessors. At its core, it's still a good action game, but fans of this series have come to expect a certain standard of punishing gameplay, no matter what level they're on, and this release just doesn't have it. Maybe it will take a Sigmarelease to finely tune what is missing, but NG3 will leave fans of the series a bit unsatisfied.

Ee Rojullo – Movie Review !!!!!!!!

Ee Rojullo is a small budget film that hit the screens today on the occasion of the Telugu New Year Day Ugadi. Many small films that hit the screen last year without much fanfare have done surprisingly well in recent times. Let us see how Ee Rojullo, a film based on a real life story has turned out to be.  

Story: The story is about love, misunderstanding and learning from the mistakes to get ahead in life. The story is about two youngsters – Sri (Srinivas) and a girl Rajni. Sri is in love with Rajni. He is ready to do anything for her. Rajni, on the other hand, is not in love with Sri but with another guy. Sri helps Rajni financially but she takes the money and runs away with another guy. This naturally comes as a big shock to Sri. He is totally dejected. Sri now wows never to fall in love or trust any girl.

Union Budget Highlights

(RTTNews.com) - Presenting what was his seventh Union Budget in the Lok Sabha on Friday, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee spent a considerable time on listing grim ground realities and explaining the need to expedite decision making for better governance.

He has introduced amendments to the Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act to cut the fiscal deficit in a phased manner.

Subsidies would be restricted to 2 percent of the GDP before further bringing down to 1.7 percent of GDP, he said. The finance minister pegged the divestment target for the next financial year at Rs 30000 crore and assured the house that at least 51 percent control will remain with the government.

"The global crisis has affected us. India's gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow at 6.9 percent in 2011-12 after having grown at 8.4 percent in each of the two preceding years. But it is also a fact that in any cross-country comparison, India still remains among the front-runners in economic growth," he said.

Union Budget 2012 Live Update

The Union Budget has just started – Aam Juntaa has lot of expectations from this Budget, especially the tax slabs. Lets see what our Finance Minister Mr. Pranab Mukherjee have in store for us.

We at Trak.in will be covering as it happens….Here it is:

11:10 am: Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee begins his Union Budget 2012 speech in Parliament.

11:15 am: Pranab’da reiterates Economic Survey’s projection of India’s GDP growth for FY12 at 6.9% and 7.6% at FY13.

11:20 am: FM #Pranab Mukherjee quips that Average price of Crude in 2012 likely to exceed $115/barrel in his #Budget2012 speech. That certainly points towards hard times for Indian OMC firms.

11:25 am: Pranab Mukherjee announces to fully provide for Food Subsidy in Budget. Central Subsidies to be under 2% of GDP. This is a good step towards bringing such expenses to planning books.

11.30 am: FM says that GST to be operational by August 2012. It has been long delayed, it won’t be too bad if he feels that the political consensus could be reach as soon as that.

11.35 am: Finance Minsiter sets 2012-13 Disinvestment target at Rs.30,000 crore.  This govt has failed miserably in achieving its FY12 disinvestment targets. Finally, it scraped through with last minute ONGC auction.

11:40 am: Pranab Mukherjee proposes to Rs.15,888 crore for Bank Recapitalisation.  Didn’t it fail miserably in recapitalise SBI in FY12? Consequently, the country’s premier public sector bank got its standalone debt downgraded by rating agencies.

11.45am: FM has announced Income Tax deducation of 50% on Investment of up to Rs.50,000 in Savings Scheme named after Rajiv Gandhi.

11:47 am:  Govt will make Telecom towers eligible for viability gap funding. Irrigation and dam to be eligible for special funding. This is good news, but the big question is – how much of it will actually reach the ground level status?

11:50 am: FM has stated in his Budget 2012 speech that more tax-free infra bonds are on way & increase in investments in infra sector via PPP. Tax-free Infra bonds doubled to Rs.60,000 crore.

11:55 am: This is Big – Govt allowed FDI of upto 49% by Foreign Airlines. Ariline stocks listening? Weren;t they waiting for this since long?

 11:57 am: Pranab Mukherjee announces to make 8,800 km of highways in FY13; outlay raised. 7,300 km of road project awarded in FY12. That’s about road infrastructure.

12:00 noon: Finance Minsiter’s Budget 2012 speech says that govt will allow allow Rs 10,000 cr tax free bonds for power sector. Well, is that all for the long-ailing power sector?

12:05 pm: 6,000 schools have been proposed to be set up in 12th Year Plan in Budget 2012. Looking at the way donation mess has increased in this new era, this could prove little helpful.

12.:10pm: Market News: STT cut by 20% to 0.1% for delivery trades. This is good & long-awaited news for traders and investors, for sure.

12:15 pm: Another High Impact Announcement in Budget 2012 – Overall service taxes raised to 12 percent. Services account for 59 percent of the India’s GDP.

12:20 pm: Most awaited number: Fiscal deficit at 5.9% – way above 2011-12 budget estimate. Next year’s figure is pegged at 5.1 percent.

12:25 pm: What really interests you as an individual is tax-slabs and exemption limits, isn’t it? Let’s see what FM had in store for you this Budget season:

• ‘NO TAX’ for income below Rs.2 Lakh
• 10% for taxable income of Rs.2-5 Lakh
• 20% tax slab for income in the range of Rs.5-10 Lakh &
• 30% tax bracket for above Rs.10 lakh taxable income.

12:30 pm: Case Neutral – No change in Corporate taxes. Dear Industrialists, did you expect this status quo from the FM?

12.:35 pm: Excise Duty to be raised to 12% from 10% for FY13, says FM. Inflation !! Inflation !!… Are you listening?

12:40 pm: Dear FM, from where will source all this deficit gap from? Duty on Large cars raised by as much as 27% in Budget 2012.

12:45 pm: FM increases Customs duty on precious metals like Gold and Platinum products in Budget 2012.

12:50 pm: Rs.10000 crores allocated to NABARD to fund RRBs in Union Budget 2012 presented by the Finance Minsiter today.

12:55 pm: Mid-Day meal scheme allocated 11937 crore. Rural drinking water and satiation allocated 14000 crore.

01:00 pm: Interest subvention of additional 3% on loans upto Rs 3 lakhs to women-SHGs – effective rate of 4%.
