It is 2 O'clock in the morning. Connor was not able to sleep. He went to kitchen prepared coffee and bought the cup to the hall. That's the routine he is doing from past 2 weeks. He set his coffee mug on the near by table and sat on easy chair from where he can see his darling's smiling face. He wanted to hold her and feel her. But all he could do was sit on the easy chair and stare at her framed photo.
He is trying hard not to think about her. But he can't help it. He started crying silently. He know he had to be strong and brave but he can't help it sometime. Sound from the near by nursery made him come to the reality. He got up went to his daughter's room. Guess even she was missing her mom. Connor took her in his arms kissed her cheek. She was wide awake now. She was hungry too. Connor put her back in the crib went to kitchen and boiled the milk. When he came back his daughter was sleeping. He smiled and left the room. Exactly like her mother he thought.
He sat on the same easy chair and continued staring at his wife. He knew it that this would happen. She had made sure that he know the consequence of marrying her. But He was determined. He still remembers how she used to drive him crazy with her jokes. He couldn't sit in that place now. He got up went to his living room and opened the cupboard and took out the black diary. He just loved that diary. At present that dairy gives him strength to live. He must have read the diary for 10 times. He knows each and every sentence by heart but he still want to read it.
He opened the diary. Smile appeared on his face looking at his wife's ugly handwriting. How many times he had commented on her hand writing but she was least bothered. He turned the page.
I am Alexia Martis. I love my name so much that I write it everywhere.
When I was a kid I never wrote dairy. I just played around with my 2 elder bothers and 1 elder sister. I was the last so as usual was spoilt for some extent.
Now I am 25 years old. Usually gals at my age have loads of dreams like marrying a hunk, owning big villa and a car….. but I have none. Few years ago my brother had passed away. My elder brother death taught me a lesson and lesson was never dream. According to me dreams rarely come true. I still remember how my brother suffered. He was bed ridden for 1 month. He had a kidney problem. My parents tried to save him but they were not god. My brother died at the age of 23. His dreams went with him to coffin. My parents were broken. Few hated me because we were bit similar to see and our behavior was same to same. I did understood their feelings
After completing my B.sc in Fasion technology I did a advanced course in Fashion Technology. I am working in famous boutique in Delhi. I am happy and successful. But I am still single. They say single people are really happy. Believe me its true. I enjoy my freedom. They say people cant see you happy. I go for any function they start asking question about my marriage. How I hate that poor mentality. When I want to get marry I willl, I won't wait for anyone. Now even my parents are pressurizing me. I told them I want some time but they didn't listen to me.
Recently I got pain in my joints. It was unbearable. I went to see the doctor. Tests were done and I had kidney problem. One kidney was gone and according to doctor I had to under go operation. I didn't inform my parents as they will worry.
Operation was done and doctor assured me nothing to worry. But inside I knew it I am gonna die like my elder bro. It was a gut feeling which was with me since his death.
When he died he was 23 and according to my calculation I willll die when I am 26. May be I sound like psyche but that weird taught was there with me right from beginning.
Time passed once in a while I had same old kidney problem. I knew it my time has come. I couldn't share these thoughts with anyone so I started writing.
I never wanted to dream but sometimes I couldn't help myself. Marrying a guy and becoming mom, owning small little cute house with big garden, having a dog around was all I could dream in spite of my struggle against dream. Guess my age made to dream.
I know there are many people who live with single kidney but you never know anything can happen. When I die I wanted to be free to go without any bondage. Love, relationship makes you weak when are at the edge. So I decided not to marry and spoil somebody's life.
I reduced my visits to my home. My parents were searching a guy for me. I tried to convince them but they were all set to send me off. I couldn't tell them about my health problem. I cut off my self from my home. Even though I was lonely and felt homesick I controlled my feeling.
My cousin was getting married in Bombay. As I was very close to her she forced me to come. I know if I go there will be 1000 of questions about my marriage. I was confused whether to go or not. When she begged me to come I couldn't say no to her.
She had come to airport to pick me. She was looking lovely. We had fun, lots of fun. We partied every day. Those long drives were unforgettable. It didn't take long to realize how much fun I was missing. She introduced her fiancé. It was love marriage. Both were madly in love.
On wedding day my cousin was looking gorgeous. I do love weddings. It's like union of 2 souls. I had worn black knee length gown and left my hair and just a coat of lipstick.After the wedding mass there was reception. Decoration was eye catching. There were many couples, youngsters and handsome dudes.
I sat in a corner and was observing them dancing. I lost myself in watching them. I didn't realize one stranger is standing next to me. He asked me for a dance. I looked at the dancers and then at him. I thought one dance can't harm me. I said yes.
Connor closed the dairy. He was smiling. This is his favorite part. He closed his eyes for a while.
He still remember the day when first time he had set his eyes on Alexia. She was seated at the corner and was watching the dancers. May be she doesn't have dance partner like him he thought. He started walking towards her. She didn't see him until he asked her for a dance. She was bit startled as if she was sure that no guy will ever ask her that question. She was bit short but pretty. When she said yes Connor was happy.
When they reached the dance floor waltz was going on. He held her in his arms. He had a feeling which he never experienced before. He wanted to know more about her. Whenever he tried to look into her eyes she used to see away. After the dance she had told her name and thanked him politely. When she started to walk away he felt something belonging to him is taken away from him. Before he could call her back she was lost in the crowd
He was searching for her. She was with a guy when finally he found her. He pulled her aside and asked her number. She looked straight in to his eyes and said "What you will do with my number?"
Connor never expected this question. Gals were easy catch for him. He was handsome and gals used to roam around him like butterfly. He was bit angry at Alexia but he didn't show.
He casually said "Just wanna talk to you"
Alexia laughed loudly and said "I will give my moms number she loves talking".
Connor was furious. He though he made a mistake asking her number. When he started walking away Alexia said loudly " I didn't realized that you loose so easily. Any ways Connor it was nice dancing with you"
I t was like challenge to Connor. He stopped where he was. He was breathing hard. When he made his mind he turned and walked towards Alexia. Before Alexia can make out what's happening he kissed Alexia .Then he took her phone and dialed his number. He forgot that he had audience. All he could see is Alexia holding him for support. When he got her number she kissed her cheek and whispered slowly "You challenged wrong person babes, take care until I we meet again". Before Alexia could do anything he was gone.
Connor opened is eyes. He looked at the Alexia's photo beside his bed lamp. He traced a finger around her cheek.
He continued reading
He held me during the dance. That's the first time some guy holding me. I know I do miss many things. We danced for a while. There was magic in his arms. I fitted so well in them. When dance stopped I was disappointed. His name was Connor. Very good name I thought. I told him my name and thanked him for the dance. I didn't want to go but he didn't stop me. I just walked away with a different feeling.
I was talking to my cousin when from no where he came. I was not expecting him. One look at him and I know what he gonna ask. I had to be strong and hide my emotions. He asked my number and I didn't give. When he started walking away I couldn't see that. I had to do something. I know what I was doing was wrong. I provoked him. I know he will do something stupid but I never expected him to kiss me. The 2 minutes when he held me in his arms was heaven for me. Again I was there where I belong. Easily he had taken my number. He had created such a mess even my mom and dad were standing and watching us.
When we reached home that day I got a big lecture from my parents. I just listened to them like a cow. I was cursing Connor for spoiling my image in front of my parents.
That night I couldn't sleep. I missed him already. I waited for his call but he never called.
After 2 days I left to Delhi. One fine day I was busy working in my office when I got red roses with a message "You were in my arms near to my heart, You walked away with my heart "
It was clear that it was from Connor. I was happy and sad. My health was bad. Doctor had given me 2 years time. I can't imagine marrying and dying within 2 years. I had to be strong I know.
That evening I got a call from Connor. He asked me out on a date. As I wanted to set everything straight I agreed.
He had taken me to some fancy restaurant. As usual he was looking handsome. I know that I was attracted to him. I tried hard to hide my emotions.
After the dinner he had taken me for a long drive. When we were away from city he had stopped the car and proposed me. I was speechless. I was crying. I was confused whether those were happy tears or sad tears. All I know is he was holding me and saying "just say yes! Please. I have asked your parents permission and they are happy. Don't spoil this moment saying wrong words. Please Alexia"
He was begging me. I wiped my tears and said I can't marry him. I told him about my health condition. He got down from car and started walking. I was alone. I don't know where he went. He came after sometime. He opened the door and told me to come out.
He said "your health problem doesn't changes a thing. Just marry me. You don't know how I missed you when you were not with me. I know its silly tht I am proposing you after the first meeting but I didn't want to waste any time when I am sure that you are the one for me.
I thought I will convince him but he was convincing me. I hugged him and said I don't want bondage's while dying. But he didn't listen to me. He was very stubborn. I said yes finally and also told him not to tell about my health to my parents.
We got married within a week. Connor was very understanding. It was dream come true marrying such a person. I loved him very much.
When I was ill he was there holding my hand and strengthening me. He was there whenever I needed him. Doctor had warned me about having a child. According to doctor having child was not a good idea. But I wanted to have Connors baby.
Chelesa was born after one and half year of our marriage. She was replica of me. Connor loved her.
After my delivery my condition got worse. I got admitted to hospital. I was struggling to breathe. I know my time has come. They shifted me to ICU. Connor was there beside me every day. He looked tired. As a last wish I wanted to see Chelesa. She was looking adorable in her pink dress in her dad's arms.
Connor closed the diary and closed his eyes. He know what happended after that. He was there with his love when she closed her eyes for the final time. He held her tight as if he never wanna let her go. She died in his arms. Still he can't believe that his wife left him and his daughter forever.
He got up and walked towards nursery. Chelesa was sleeping. He just smiled looking at his wife's replica. He still had a reason to live.

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Kira Lewis Jr. had 17 points, including the go-ahead foul shots with 3:34 to play, as Alabama lost a double-digit lead before rallying late to beat South Carolina 68-62 Tuesday night.
The Crimson Tide (17-11, 8-7 Southeastern Conference) looked to have an easy one after opening a 28-15 lead. But the Gamecocks (14-14, 9-6) came all the way back and were up 54-49 after Tre Campbell's 3-pointer with 7:15 to go.
That's when Alabama found its touch in a 14-3 run over the next five minutes to take control.
South Carolina's last lead came on Chris Silva's foul shot with 3:53 to go. Lewis, though, followed that next time down with a pair of free throws to put the Crimson Tide ahead for good.
Donta Hall had 15 points and 10 rebounds as Alabama won its second straight after three consecutive defeats as it fights for the fourth seed in the jumbled SEC standings that would bring two days off before starting league tournament play.
Riley Norris had 11 points, all in the second half, as the Crimson Tide won its fourth straight over the Gamecocks.
Silva led South Carolina with 23 points and 12 rebounds.
South Carolina didn't look like a team that had risen to fourth in the stacked SEC, missing 14 straight shots at one point. Alabama, though, has struggled to score at times this season and that kept things tighter than it should've been given the Gamecocks inability to make shots in the first half.
When South Carolina hit three straight shots, the Crimson Tide only were up 29-25 with 10 seconds left in the half. Lewis, though, took an inbounds pass and raced the length of the court for an easy jumper as time ran out.
Lewis nearly was the only player the first 20 minutes who managed to score. He had 10 points, including a pair of 3-pointers.
Alabama: Lewis and Hall showed they can be a dangerous one-two punch for Alabama down the stretch.
Alabama hosts No. 13 LSU on Saturday.
South Carolina travels to Missouri on Saturday.

Protect yourself from healthcare tunnel vision
Too many specialists
Our healthcare system is like an inverted pyramid.
Rather than having a strong base of primary care doctors—family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics—and a decreasing number of specialists, we have more and more specialists and a dwindling number of primary care docs.
Roughly two thirds of our doctors are specialists. And subspecialists. And sub-subspecialists.
Why is that a problem?

Noah Update
2 comments:
Some unsolicited advice from someone that's just read a little of your blog about your son's eczema.
I was born with eczema all over. Back in the 60's, there wasn't much anyone could do. Calamine lotion was about it. Summers were the worst, and I would be shipped to an aunt's house to swim in their pool, as the chlorine would dry out the rash. Not so much help in the middle of the winter in New England!
As I got older, we seemed to pinpoint some of the dietary allergies - eggs, tomatoes and oranges - and I avoided them. But then I found that sometimes it was also soap (hand soap and clothes soap) and other things I came in contact with. Grass was a biggie, and I loved to go barefoot outside. Not good. I swear, sometimes I wanted to just take my skin off!
Cortisone creams and ointments from the dermatologist did little if anything to alleviate the itch and rash. Especially once the big blisters set in.
On one particularly bad flare up, a friend suggested a non-soap soap (I can't remember which one, but now I use Cetaphil) and a wet dressing called Domboro, which is a boric acid-based miracle cure you can find in the drug store.
I mix the double strength, soak a washcloth in it and apply to the itchies - Bliss! and it dries out the blisters. I leave the solution in a jar in the fridge and the cold also helps the itch. Within hours, the blisters start to go away. I use a cortisone cream with aloe, or sometimes just the aloe cream, to moisturize the skin when it gets really dry.
Anyho, if you can find Domboro and get Noah to sit still long enough to put the washcloth on the itchies, maybe it will help him.
Really enjoyed reading your blog.

At the last derm. visit, he recommended Domboro and it's worked really well. Like us, he also is fairly sure Noah's eczema isn't allergy related, but hereditary.

Character Assassination
I have taken to these pages before to bemoan the lack of character in the Newcastle United squad.
Looking back on last season, I maintain that the talent at our disposal was superior to that of many teams who were untroubled by the risk of relegation. But I can think of very few teams who showed anything like lack of spirit, determination and loyalty exhibited by those in black and white. Most observers – whether Toon fans or not – seem to think much the same.
It's a bit late to apportion blame, but a combination of weak management, ill-advised sales, imports from leagues where character is of less importance, and dissatisfaction from the terraces would no doubt figure in the analysis.
Two of those factors have unexpectedly been removed. We have a manager who has strength, status and star quality, and this has led to – bizarrely for a freshly relegated club – a wave of goodwill and optimism from the long-suffering supporters. And if the smoke signals are to be believed, we are being far stricter on who is allowed to go out and who is recruited.
Now if character is important in the Premier League, it's an absolute must-have in the Championship. Stadia are less attractive, pitches are poorer, tackles are harder and referees are more lenient.
Someone who sulked when they felt the impact of a challenge from a Kante or a Cattermole last season is going to be in tears for 9 months from August.
If my theory regarding the ability in the Newcastle United squad is valid, then it must be true that we possess the talent to get us out of the Championship at the first attempt. And we have no choice but to do that.
If we don't, I can see Rafa walking, followed by any of the more revered players who hung around for a season in the second tier out of a sense of loyalty or guilt. That would – I think – see any optimism evaporating completely and season ticket sales dwindling to 1980s numbers.
Rafa has to be skilful. He needs the bones of a team that is good enough to get us out of this league and perform at a comfortable level back in the Premiership. We've done it before – thank you Mr Hughton – but I'm guessing it's trickier than it seems.
Looking at the players we have now – and I don't expect the list to remain as it is for long – I have no doubt Señor Benitez has a very good idea of who is up for the battle and who isn't. If he believes like I do that skill levels shouldn't be an issue, then he could well be looking at who to retain based on their attitude. For my money – on character alone and regardless of ability – the squad breaks down as follows:
No problem – made of the right stuff: Elliott, Darlow, Lascelles, Mbemba, Townsend, Mbabu, Krul
Mostly good, but can go missing: Dummett, Aarons, Perez, Tiote, Janmaat, Anita,
50:50: Mitrovic (loses points for idiocy rather than lack of desire), Haidara, De Jong, Colback, Gouffran
Often poor, sometimes redeem themselves: Cisse, Wijnaldum, Sissoko
Appear uninterested: Shelvey, Thauvin, Coloccini
I haven't seen enough of the rest to comment, but I'd hope the likes of Armstrong, Toney, Sterry etc may prove to be the sort of player we need. I'm working on the assumption that Cabella, Sammy, Bigirimana et al won't be with us next season.
It's a concern reading back through the above that I can only identify 7 players of unquestionable character, and that 3 of them are goalkeepers! But we didn't end up being relegated because we had too many.
If Rafa needs to sell, then I wouldn't object if he went backwards though my list starting with Colo and ending with Gouffran. De Jong and Haidara are probably worth persisting with, and I'd tell Mitro to lose a stone and find a shrink if he wants to stay. I am completely neutral on Colback – he is the definition of average for me.
I think we could risk selling Krul, too, on the grounds that we appear to be quite well covered for keepers. The rest I'd try to keep, on balance, and I'd look to acquire players (personality-wise) in the mould of Barton, Nolan, Gutierrez, Carroll et al to augment them. And I'd make Armstrong, Sterry, Toney, Roberts and a few others part of the first team squad. If we don't risk them in the Championship, then I don't see how we'd do so at the top level.
All of this is easier said than done, of course, and even Rafa may not be able to fight the combined forces of Ashley, agents, vanity and greed. But I'd fancy our chances of a quick return to the Premiership if we could do it.

Customer Reviews
These are great shoes. A line in women's sizes would make them better. I converted the sizes from the men's size to a woman's size and I think they are probably a half size too big. I kept them after a couple of friends said they wished their Olys had more room in the toe box. It looks like the exchange policy is hassle free, so it's not the end of the world if you get the sizing off.
I noticed a big difference in my squats, with a 20 lb increase in my PR the first time I wore them. If you're just starting crossfit and aren't sure about spending big bucks, these are nice shoes at a great price.
I bought these for my husband and he only just recently upgrade. This are great for starting out, I would recommend spending a little bit more and getting a better pair. They do the job and my husband actually passed these on to a friend of his to continue their use :)
These are still solid to this day, and I bought them nearly a year ago.
The straps lock your feet in, and it feels like you're glued to the platform. Ideal for powerlifting, crossfit or Olympic lifting.
The lifts in the back are perfect height to get the ideal squat in. The heels are solid as can be.
The straps have started to Frey a little due to poor care on my part. Other than that these shoes are some of the most affordable out there, and they get the job done.
Nothing beats these shoes price wise on the net. What sold me was the 1'' heel height compared to the rest of the market at 3/4''. My only issue with these shoes which isn't even a huge deal is the velcro not seating down correctly over time. Overall if you're eying these shoes to maximize your squats or Olympic lifts they're totally worth it.
Note: These shoes pair well with squatting or oly workouts. If you plan on doing WODs the Rebook lifters( or something else without a wooden heel) will work to your advantage. I have the Reeboks i pull out when needed,these shoes are a bit heavy.
Very good weight lifting shoes for the price. Faux leather will mold around the foot. For the price they will get the job done for a long time. The heal is sturdy and helps your lifts .
solid pair of shoes and very sturdy. I'm an avid strength trainer and was looking for more stability in my footing for barbell squats. I wear a 7.5 in womens and purchased size 6 - they fit well and are comfortable for my med/wide-ish feet.
Able to lift more than I used to, my body is much more stable. Its a must if you want to improve squats.

May 21. Not quite as cold over night, but was overcast and chilly throughout the morning and early afternoon. Around mid-afternoon, the sun came out and the air warmed up more. I was happy to get out for a little walk around the yard. The ground is quite dry after almost three dry weeks with just a little rain.
Before school this morning, I worked on acknowledging supporters and getting the monthly update file ready to go to Christy.
In Bible class this morning, we reviewed for their test which will be on Thursday. Then the students enjoyed each having a turn to play the scale up and down the keyboard. After that, we practiced our hymn which they will sing on Sunday morning.
They got out of school early today as it didn't take them long to do their science test. It was a blessing to me to eat early and have an early nap. After I went for a walk this afternoon, I finished up the grading and got things ready for school tomorrow. Then I worked more on the monthly updates. Also washed greens that Mora had brought yesterday and some onions to cook with them. Put them on to cook while I was preparing supper. Also cooked up some popo to have on my pancakes tomorrow and Friday mornings.
Apekio came this evening with a few potatoes and stayed and talked a little while. After she left, I started washing the dishes and Daddy finished them.
"And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all." Acts 4:33
May 22. Slept in until 6:30 this morning. The Lord gave us another dry day with a light rain shower this afternoon.
David gave a short message this morning on the work of the Holy Spirit and did a good job. Lotu finished early, and we started school around 8:30. It was nice to get an early start and finish early too.
I forgot to boil eggs for lunch, and there was no main dish made either. So I just scrambled up a couple eggs to use for our sandwiches. Then this afternoon, I cooked rice and made a meat gravy to go with it. Had cooked up the greens yesterday afternoon, and I had a couple pieces of corn left too.
Had a lot to do this afternoon - wash hair, finish grading and recording grades, get everything together for tomorrow, write things on the chalkboard, color the penguin on the 6-division chart and put it out in the schoolroom, put the new Bible and music lessons in the students' notebooks, highlight Daddy's Bible school notes at the places where the students fill in questions. Part of that work didn't get done until after supper this evening.
"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29
