It's me Piya again but this time I am here with an OS on our beloved couple Rishbala and not with a FF. This is the first and last part of the OS. I hope each one of u will enjoy reading it. I dedicate this OS to my Priya Di as it was just coz of her that I wrote a Rishbala version of this OS
It was yet another morning and the sunbeams were desperately waiting for one small glimpse of the most beautiful and innocent angel of this world
It was a daily routine for the rays of the sun to begin its morning by kissing her soft wet skin making her all the more desirable and elegant
The majestic sun's wait ended as soon as she opened the knob of the washroom's door and placed her delicate flower like petals on the floor
Oh this sight was so mesmerizing…she was an epitome of beauty who had forced the sun to become shameless
She had wrapped herself with a towel allowing her wet long beautiful tresses to kiss her bare shoulder… the sun left out a sigh as it was cursing its mere existence as it wished to be as lucky as those water droplets that were dripping from her hair and were kissing her beautiful form without any resistance
She opened her wardrobe to select her dress... the sun increased the intensity of its rays towards the yellow saree and tried telling her to choose his favourite color as it knew the entire definition of this color would change if she decorated herself with it
But alas she opted for the magenta pink color saree
How could the sun forget that it was his favourite color…yes the man whom she loved above sanity …she was so engrossed in the depth of his love that she always ignored the sun's presence and did not appreciate the sun's love proposal even once…
Oh he was so lucky to have her as his wife…Yes she was Mrs. Madhubala Rishab Kundra the darling wife and most priceless possession of Rishab Kundra
She placed the saree on the bed and started walking towards the window
The sun's expectation begin to rise…has she finally realized that I love her? Will she accept my love?
As the distance between Madhu and the window went on reducing the sun felt the taste of its own heat due to her proximity
The sun was just about to embrace her in its folds when all its desires were shattered apart as Madhu went ahead and gracefully allowed the curtains to fall on the window and made the sun realize that no one can take the place that her heart holds for the love of her life, her husband the one and only Rishab Kundra
The sun was dejected with her denial it had no option but to go away from her
Madhu allowed the towel to fall down. She took the blouse and covered her womanly assets with it…a beautiful smile made way to her face as she recollected the day she had worn this saree for the last time …Rishab had himself glorified her beauty by decorating her in this saree with his own hands
It was such a blissful moment and a heavenly experience for her. Rishab had taken his own sweet time to cover her up in this beautiful piece. He was enjoying every moment of that pleasurable phase by gifting Madhu a sweet dose of his loving torture either by kissing, sucking, licking or biting her
Madhu moaned his name as she relived that beautiful memory
It was only then that she realized that Rishab was not there in their room
Madhu: Pagli kahiki Rishab iss waqt yaha nahi hai wo ghar shaam ko lautenge chal jaldi se taiyaar ho jaa [U r definitely crazy Madhu Rishab is not here with u right now he will be coming back in the late evening common get ready soon]
She dressed herself in that saree and applied sindoor on her maang all the while looking at Rishab's photograph
She was missing him dearly and her heart was not ready to wait till the evening but everything was not in her hands she had to play the waiting game
She was busy admiring her husband's photograph when all of a sudden she remembered that letter which Rishab had written for her
She got up from her chair and opened a drawer where she had kept that letter safely
She kissed that letter and placed it close to her heart…with this small act of hers she could sense Rishab's fragrance in her soul it felt as if she was in the loving arms of her husband …this was the extent to which she loved him…every small or big thing associated with him made her feel his presence in and around her
She took the letter and made herself comfortable on a chair
Before opening the envelope she uttered few words "I love u Rishab" she closed her eyes and her heart could hear the voice of Rishab who replied with equal love "I love u too Madhu"
She smiled on hearing the reply and opened her eyes and went ahead to read the letter
Rishab's letter
Rishab: Aaj ka din mujhe humesha yaad rahega kyunki aaj maine wo kiya hai jo aaj se pehle maine kabhi nahi kiya…aaj maine pehli baar mandir ki chaukat par kadam rakha hai [I will remember this day always as today I have done something unusual I have stepped in the premises of the temple for the first time in my life]
Rishab: Hairan hogayi ye baat sunkar k tumhara Pyara darinda aaj mandir mein kya kar raha hai? Hairan toh main bhi hoon aur sach kahu toh behet pareshan bhi [I am sure it won't be able for u to digest this fact that ur Evil devil is standing in a temple. To be frank enough I am also shocked and a bit worried too]
Rishab: Meri pareshani ki wajah jaanna chahthi ho? [Do u want to know the reason of my worry?]
Rishab: Aaj mujhe darr lag raha hai Madhu kyunki maine socha tha k aaj main tumse apne dil ki baat share karunga tumhe ye bataunga k main tumse kitna pyar karta hoon par naajane kyun main himmat nahi jhuta paa raha aur apni dil ki kashmash ko bayan karne k liye mere paas koi saathi nahi tha issliye main mandir chala aaya uss rab se ye puchne k kya main wakai mein tumse mohabbat karta hoon ya mujhe humari dosti ko lekar galatfaimi ho gayi hai…ye janna mere liye zaruri tha kyunki main tumhe kabhi bhi jaane anjaane chot pauchane k baare mein soch hi nahi saktha [Today I am scared Madhu as I had decided that I would share with u the feelings of my heart by confessing my love in front of u but for unknown reasons I could not gather the courage to tell u this truth. There was no one with whom I could share the dilemma of my heart and I decided to visit the temple and to question the Almighty whether I really love u or is it a mere infatuation from my side…as I never wanted to be the reason for your pain]
Rishab: Rab k saamne maine jab apne haath jode toh mujhe tumhare phoolo se bhi komal haatho ka saath mila aisa laga maano k tumne mere haatho par apne haatho ki mauhar laga di ho aur mujhse ye kehne ki koshish kar rahi ho k aap jahah honge Madhu aapka haath thame humesha aapke saath chalegi zindagi k har modh par aapka saaya bankar aapke kadam se kadam milayegi [When I stood in front of the Almighty with folded hands ur soft flower like hands accompanied me it seemed that u had placed the mark of your hands on my hand and u were trying to tell me that Madhu would continue holding your hand wherever u go she would remain with u in every path of ur life and will walk with u throughout by matching each other's footsteps]
Rishab: Jab koi insaan apni aakhein bannd karta hai toh uski aakhon k saamne andhera cha jaatha hai par Madhu jab maine apni aakhein bannd kitoh mujhe apni aakhon k saamne tumhari dilkashi saadgi ki roshni bhikri hui mili yun laga jaise k tum mujhse vaada kar rahi thi k hum dono saath hai toh jeewan k har andhere pal ko apni mohabbat k diye ki roshni se ujaagar kar denge [Whenever a person closes his eyes all he can see is darkness but Madhu when I closed my eyes I could see the captivating serene light of your simplicity and beauty welcoming me I felt as if u were promising me that as long as both of us r together the clouds of darkness won't be able to stay in our life for a long duration of time as we would light our paths with the lamp of our love]
Rishab: Tumhari iss baat ki gehrayi ko samajne ki koshish main kar hi raha tha k mujhe apne dil se ek meethi si dhun sunne ko mili wo surili aawaz tumhari thi Madhu uss waqt mujhe ye ehsaas hua k tum mere dil mein lahu bankar beh rahi thi dil k har ek kone mein mujhe bus tumhari parhayi nazar aa rahi thi [I was trying to understand the depth of your words when all of a sudden I could hear a musical voice from my heart it was your voice Madhu it…I realized that u were flowing like blood in my heart and every corner of my heart was decorated with your shadow and your traces]
Rishab: Jaise hi mujhe iss baat ka ehsaas hua mere rom rom se tumhari maasumiyat ki khushboo mehkne lagi aur maine ye jaana k mere har saas ki ek lauthi mallika tum hi ho [As soon as I realized this the fragrance of your innocence started getting reflected from every pore of my body and I understood that there is only one queen who rules and controls every breath that I take and it is you]
Rishab: Rab k saamne khada tha toh socha kyun na koi dua maang lu jaise hi maine dua maangne k liye apne hoth hilaye mere hotho se ek bus tumhari salamathi aur tumhari khushi ki tamanna jhalakne lagi tab mujhe ye ehsaas hua k maine apni zindagi kab ka tumhare naam likh di hai…tumhi meri sabse paak dua ho aur tumhi mera sabse bada kalma[I was standing in front of the Almighty hence I thought of asking him to fulfill some of my wishes… when I moved my lips to voice my desires all I could demand was to see u fit and fine and forever happy. I realized that I had dedicated my life to you long before…It is true that u r my most divine prayer as well as my most holy word]
Rishab: Jaise hi maine aakhein kholi uss rab ka deedar karne k liye mujhe waha tumhari muhurat nazar aayi hasti hui muskurathi hui aur apni aakhon se mere liye beintehaah pyar jhalkhathi hui haan ab maine jaana k main aaj tak mandir kyun nahi aaya …[As I opened my eyes to get a glimpse of the Almighty I could see your smiling statue in front of me…u were showering me with an ocean of unconditional love …yes today I realized why till date I did not visit the temple]
Rishab: Kyun aata main mandir jab tum mere imaan ki dastaan ho…tumhi ho jise iss dil ne puri shidat se puja hai aur tum hi ho jise iss dil ne Khuda ka darja diya hai …haan Madhu ye sach hai main tumse bepana mohabbat karta hoon par… [There was no need for me to visit the temple as u are the story of my faith …u r the one whom this heart has worshipped with full intensity and u r the only one who has been given the status of God by my heart…yes Madhu this is the truth I love u more than my life…but]
Rishab: Par aaj tumhe ye sach batane k bajaye main tumse d…[ But today instead of confessing the truth I am g…]
Before Madhu could continue reading the letter she heard the sounds of innocent anklets running towards her…that small doll was Rishbala's darling 2 year old daughter Meher
Meher: Mumma…Meher Rishab Kundra apni shahi neend se jag chuki hai aur unhe kaafi bhook lag rahi hai…humara shahi nasshta kaha hai? [Mumma…Meher Rishab Kundra has got up from her royal sleep and she is feeling hungry. Where is my royal breakfast?]
Madhu placed her beautiful angel on her lap and kissed her rosy cheeks lovingly
Meher: Mumma ye gili kissi mat dijiye hume aise kisses sirf humare Dadda de sakthe hai [Mom don't give me these wet kisses only Dad has the right to kiss me like this]
Madhu: Achhaji agar humne aapki baat nahi maani toh aap kya karoge? [What if I don't listen to u?]
Meher: Hum humare Dadda se aapki complain karenge aur phir humare Dadda aapko saza denge unki shehzadi ko pareshan karne k liye [I will complain to my Dad and then he will punish u for troubling his princess]
This was true Rishab treated Meher like a royal princess as she was the second most important woman in his life after Madhu
Madhu: Hum bhi toh dekhe aapke Dadda hume kya saza dethe hai [Let me also see what punishment your dad bestows on me]
Meher: Wahi humeshawali punishment kissi ki saza ek dusri kissi Dadda aapko bhi ek kissi denge aur aapne meri baato ko seriously nahi liyana toh abhi isi waqt aapko saza milegi [The usual punishment…the penalty of a kiss is another kiss. Dad will also kiss u and since u have not taken my words seriously u r going to be punished right now]
Meher took Rishab's photograph and held it in front of her eyes
Meher: Dadda Mumma ne aapki princess ko sataya chaliye ab unhe kissi dekar punish kijiye [Dad Mom was troubling me common give her a kiss and punish her right now]
She took the photograph towards Madhu's cheek and pouted her lips and uttered muahh from it
Meher: Ho gayi kissi puri [Yes Dad kissed u]
This innocent act of Meher brought tears in Madhu's eyes but she had promised him that she will never cry
Meher: kya hua mumma aap ro rahe ho? [What's the matter mom why r u crying?]
Madhu kissed the forehead of her sweet daughter and took her to the dining table to give her the breakfast
The whole day Madhu was busy playing with Meher and listening to her cute talks
It was late evening and Rishab was just going to arrive
Madhu was reciting a story in front of Meher and was trying to drift her off to sleep
Madhu: Bete ab so jaayiye raat kafi ho chuki hai [Darling it's time to sleep its quite late now]
Meher: Ek sharth par hum so jaayenge aapko humare ek sawal ka jawab dena hoga [I will sleep but on one condition u need to answer my question first]
Madhu: Bilkul Rishab pe gayi ek number ki ziddi hai [She is as stubborn as his father]
Madhu: Puchiye aap kya puchna chahti hai? [Go ahead what do u want to ask?]
Meher: Aapne aur Dadda ne mera naam Meher kyun rakha? [Why did u and Dad name me as Meher?]
Madhu: Rishab kehthe hai k humara rishta k dua ki tarah hai aur humare iss rishte ko aur bhi mazboot banane k liye khuda ne apni rehmat k roop mein tumhe humari zindagi mein bheja … Humari mohabbat par khuda ki Meher yaani blessing ho tum [According to Rishab our relationship is like a holy prayer and God bestowed his blessing to make our divine bond all the more strong by gifting u in our life…U r the true form of Meher meaning blessing of God on our love]
Meher: Main jaanti thi my Dadda is the best ab hum so sakthe hai aur aap bhi jaakar Dadda se mil lijiye wo bus aate hi honge [I knew my Dad is the bestest now I can sleep peacefully you can also go and meet Dad he might reach here any time]
Madhu placed a loving kiss on her daughter's forehead
Madhu: Good night jaan [Good night love]
Meher: Good night Daada ki jaan [Goodnight my Dad's love]
Madhu entered her bedroom and changed into the favourite night suit of Rishab
She went and stood besides the window and started reading the last part of Rishab 's letter which was left unread due to Meher's interruption
Rishab's letter continued...
Rishab: Par Madhu jab tum ye khat padogi tab main tumhare panaho se kafi dur rahunga…jaanti ho main aaj tumhe propose karne wala tha par usse pehle mujhe apne reports mil gaye aur meri duniya basne se pehle hi ujad gayi [But Madhu when u will be reading this letter I would have gone far away from your folds…I was going to propose u today but before that I got my reports and my entire world collapsed]
Rishab: Madhu tumhare Rishab ko cancer hai aur wo bhi aakhiri stage ka aur issliye main tumse dur jaa raha hoon aur ye khat meri maut k baad tum tak koi na koi zarur paucha dega kyunki main chahtha hoon k mere marne k baad hi sahi tumhe ye jaanlu k tumhari ahemiyat mere zindagi mein kya thi [Madhu your Rishab has cancer and it has reached its final stage. I am writing this letter as I want u to know the true place that u possessed in my life I will make sure that this letter reaches u through someone after my death]
Madhu kissed the letter and placed it on the table and remembered the day of time which had changed her entire life
Rishab would have successfully walked out of her life but destiny had planned something else for them
Madhu had noticed Rishab 's car in front of the hospital where she had come to meet her best friend
She followed Rishab to give him a surprise but she was shattered to pieces when she overheard the discussion of Rishab with the Doctor
After understanding that he is the guest of life only for one or at the most one and a half year he wrote a letter in front of the doctor and requested him to give it to the girl whom he loves beyond sanity his Madhu after his death
Madhu was silently listening about Rishab's feelings that he harbored for her in his heart when he was sharing it with the doctor
She knew what her decision should be … she loved Rishab to such an extent that she was ready to lead her entire life as his widow rather than being recognized as someone else's bride
She snatched the letter from the doctor and confronted Rishab and convinced him that their love should be their strength that would keep them bonded forever and not their weakness which would force them to walk on different paths
The devotion of Madhu's love was so strong that Rishab had to surrender in front of her love
They got married the very next day and lived a happy and blissful life
Their happiness reached a new level when Madhu gave birth to their angelic daughter Meher
Rishbala lead a lifetime in a period of one and a half years
Yes it has been 6 months since Rishab 's death but he still maintains his promise
6 months back when Rishab was on his death bed he had promised her one thing
Rishab: Madhu ye mat samajna k main tumse dur jaa raha hoon aaj main tumse apni zindagi ka aakhri vaada karta hoon har raat tum khidki k paas khadi rehkar mera intezaar karna …main tumse har raat milne aayunga…chaand k paas jo sabse chamkeela taara hoga wahi tumhara Rishab hoga puchogi nahi k chand k paas hi kyun? Wo iss liye kyunki uss chaand k paas rehkar main usse ye ehsaas dila paau k meri Madhu ki khoobsurathi k saamne uss chaand ki khoobsurti pehle bhi phiki thi aur ab bhi pheeki rahegi [Madhu pls don't think that I am going away from u today I am uttering a last promise of my life in front of u…every night when u come and stand in front of our window I will come to meet u without failure. The brightest star that would be standing right next to the moon would be your Rishab. Won't u ask why exactly besides the moon? It's very simple Madhu so that I can make the moon realize that it would never be able to challenge the beauty of my Madhu in its entire lifetime]
That day Madhu had also promised Rishab that she would continue leading her life without any change
She would continue to dress elegantly, continue applying the sindoor and wearing the mangalsutra as he would still reside with her in her soul and he will never like to see any kind of depression or tension on the face of his love…his Madhu
Her thoughts were broken when she felt his fragrance in the atmosphere…yes he had arrived
She looked up at the sky and once again her Rishab the brightest star was standing beside the moon and was declaring to the universe that his lady love was the most beautiful creation of this nature
Madhu lifted her face and uttered I love u Rishab
The sparkling light of the brightest star made way to her lips and responded back by uttering those divine words "I love u too Madhu"
She closed her eyes in happiness as she allowed Rishab to kiss her lips by capturing them in the folds of his majestic light
Love- Piya

Our Take On Chris Anderson: Why Free Doesn't Go Far Enough
Posted by Sarah Rotman Epps on July 17, 2009
- 361 Recommendations
- 0 comments
A reporter asked me yesterday whether I thought Chris Anderson was right, or whether I thought he was too glib. I don't think an either/or question.
What I've come to realize while researching and writing reports like our paid content forecast is that yes, free can be a business model--but only for much, much smaller businesses than most media companies as they exist today, with their Manhattan skyscrapers or sprawling Hollywood studios, thousands of employees, unions, factories, warehouses, and debt obligations.
So Anderson is right, but not right enough to be much comfort to the media companies on which we depend.
Here's why. In the digital world:
- "Free" isn't big enough. According to Forrester's interactive marketing forecast, online advertising in the US is a $25 billion business in 2009, of which $15 billion is search. In five years, those figures will double, and will comprise 21% of all US ad spend. Sounds like a lot, yes? But consider this: 70% of all ad spend goes to just 10 companies. That means if you're not Google, Yahoo, MSN, AOL, or a few lucky others, you are left to fight over the scraps. Ads can definitely support a "free" business model, but for most companies, there just isn't enough free to go around.
- "Paid" isn't either. In my report, "Eight Models For Monetizing Digital Content", I outline the different ways to make content pay. There's the freemium model (Flickr Pro) and the marketing loss model (Radiohead), both core to Anderson's argument that free can pay the bills. There are also other models like the incremental paid content and service model, in which companies develop entirely new products that are sold separately from a core product, which can be free. These models are all well and good, but here's the problem: Individually, they all constitute relatively small revenue streams, even when done successfully. There's a lot of overhead involved in creating new products, and adoption of each individual product or service is likely to be small.
Can media companies downsize their appetites to feed themselves on smaller pieces of pie? In other words, how do big companies get small?
I have a few ideas in the works that I'll be incorporating into future reports. Would love to get feedback (firstname.lastname@example.com) on what you see happening in your companies.

"Are you filming a reality television show?" asked a bemused American guest as I waited anxiously for the lift in the five-star Corinthia Hotel, dressed in a bellhop's jacket. I assured her that her stay wouldn't be disturbed and that I was instead a participant — indeed, the protagonist — in this new piece of immersive one-on-one theatre from the impressive Look Left Look Right company.
LLLR are this year's winners of the Corinthia's Artist in Residence award and they have given themselves the not inconsiderable challenge of shepherding audience members, at precisely-timed seven-minute intervals, around a series of individual encounters in a fully-functioning hotel.
The concept alone is powerfully suggestive: as soon as I walked into the lobby, I began to wonder which, if any, of the guests were "real".
As with all shows of this sort, such as the much-acclaimed You Me Bum Bum Train, much of the thrill lies in the element of surprise, so all I'll say is that it was my first day of work at the Corinthia and events don't always stay anchored in 2013.
Director Mimi Poskitt and writers Katie Lyons and Morgan Lloyd Malcolm certainly offer up experiences in some unexpected places but I felt LLLR's very similar 2011 Edinburgh hit You Once Said Yes had more to offer. A couple of promising narrative through-lines would benefit from greater development.
I didn't feel particularly chatty last night and, given that the onus is so much on us to generate interaction and respond to situations, I started to find the hurtling scenes something of a chore.
Come prepared to talk, walk fast — and fold napkins like a pro.

Re: WK2 Winch kit install
OK finally had time to get this done over the weekend! I was going crazy with the parts in the garage and no time! I am not the handiest person, and all in all this was not a hard project, just time consuming when I had to re-do something because I forgot the washers, or used the wrong bolt.
First off, if you are going to do this make sure you have a complete set of sockets, a complete set of drill bits (at least 3/8, 5/16 and 1/2), some files (the powder coating needed to be filed away for some parts) and some spare rivets; I used generic 1/4" ones as the ones that were in the Jeep got destroyed when I took them out.
Re: WK2 Winch kit install
I was afraid of taking the parts off but they came away easily enough.
First came the air dam, I am putting the skid on so that was coming off anyway. You have to pull hard to get that thing separated!

Bright straw-yellow colour with slight green hues, pale on rim. The nose is fresh and tight with light gooseberry fruit aromas along with chalky mineral elements and hints of limes and capsicums. Dry to taste and light-medium bodied, straightforward flavours of gooseberries and grass show with mineral elements. The mouthfeel is crisp with slippery acidity which carries the flavours on a dry, finely textured line to a moderately sustained finish with mouthwatering, grassy notes. This is a light, up-front Sauvignon Blanc with grassy and dry, minerally flavours.
About Motueka
The town of Motueka in the South Island of New Zealand lies close to the mouth of the Motueka River, on the western shore of Tasman Bay. The name Motuekaor more correctly Motuweka, comes from the Maori language, and means "weka island", the weka being a small bird of the rail family.
The surrounding district has a number of orchards as well as growing a variety of specialised crops such as hops. Motueka also formerly served as the main centre of tobacco growing in New Zealand. A small number of vineyards have developed in recent years, one (Anchorage) gaining an international reputation.
Nearby beaches, including Kaiteriteri Beach and Marahau, are very popular with holiday makers. The area around Motueka is one of the sunniest places in New Zealand.
Motueka, as one of the nearest towns to the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks, as become the base of many tourist ventures in those parks. Sea kayaking and tramping now attract many thousands of visitors each year. Many artists live in the area around Motueka.
Motueka is a thriving little town with a population of over 11,000.

(Editor's Note: This article was originally published on January 25, 2008. Your comments are welcome, but please be aware that authors of previously published articles may not be able to respond to your questions.)
Shrubby Spurges are members of the vast family of Euphorbiaceae and received their common name from the fact that their poisonous sap was once used for its purgative qualities. The milky, white sap that bleeds from the plant when the stems are cut or wounded may cause a serious rash for those with sensitive skin or latex allergies, so always use caution when handling these plants.
These Spurges are outstanding choices for the landscape. Their only requirement is excellent drainage. They even tolerate dry, poor soils. Light requirements vary, most will perform admirably in full sun or partial shade. There are a few Euphorbias such as wood spurge, (Euphorbia amygdaloides) which actually prefer deep shade and create excellent groundcovers. Little, if any, maintenance is necessary with Euphorbias. If the plants become 'leggy', a hard pruning (cutting to within 3 to 6 inches from the ground) will result in a much denser, tightly branched, symmetrical plant and can be done any time of the year.
We've had several hardy Euphorbias in our gardens over the years and I've always been fond of those with a 'shrubby' form and especially impressed with their vigorous habit. New cultivars now provide more choices for our gardens and I am rapidly developing an uncontrollable desire to plant more!
After a vigilant search to locate plants that might meet my high expectations, Euphorbias seemed a perfect solution! Late last fall, I dedicated an area for them and commenced planting.
I wasn't disappointed; by late spring I was rewarded with a stunning display of handsome foliage.
The arrival of their unique floral display of peculiar 'blooms' in spring and continuing through early summer created yet another attractive highlight in the gardens.
The wonderful opportunities these plants offer for the landscape soon had me searching for more.
I'm a satisfied gardener - Euphorbias were an outstanding choice for this garden!
Did I say "landscape"? You can't stop me there!
Designing and creating container plants this year had my mind racing in pursuit of unique combinations. Two exceptional Euphorbia introductions this past year, 'Blackbird' and 'Helena's Blush' had already been planted in the gardens, but wouldn't they look terrific in containers as well? I was thrilled with the dark purple, almost black foliage of 'Blackbird'. Combined with the gorgeous, creamy yellow and green variegated foliage of 'Helena's Blush', the two made delightful companions in a container by our front entry. An added bonus - the flowers of 'Helena's Blush' are variegated as well! Another member of the Euphorbia family I've found difficult to resist is Euphorbia cotinifolia (Zone 9). This species isn't hardy for our Zone 6 gardens, however it makes a fantastic container plant! I've been successful for three years, bringing the plant inside when the temperatures begin to fall below freezing. Its tremendous growth demanded a larger pot this year, and the shrubby habit was begging for a disguise to conceal its "bare legs." I couldn't refrain from using 'Helena's Blush' once again - the striking variegated foliage was a perfect companion to complement the glowing burgundy color of this Euphorbia.
With the onset of winter, my gardening endeavors have ended this year. Nevertheless, I'm preparing for the ambush of new cultivars which will be available in the spring. Another planting frenzy is in the works with numerous choices to satisfy my craving for more Euphorbias in the garden.
Gardening Guru Dan Hinkley, says "you can't have too many euphorbs" and I enthusiastically agree!
Euphorbia polychroma 'Bonfire'
What more could this crazed Euphorbia enthusiast ask for? What else? More Euphorbias! If my "untamed passion" has persuaded you to add Euphorbias to your garden, take a look at a few of the exciting new selections I'll be considering for planting in the gardens in 2008!
One of my mother's favorite plants has always been Cushion Spurge (Euphorbia polychroma). This new introduction from Blooms of Bressingham offers a new twist for an old favorite. Cushion Spurges typically develop excellent red foliage in the fall, however 'Bonfire's green foliage in spring rapidly changes to a deep burgundy red color and "smolders" all summer long! Hardy to at least Zone 5. Euphorbia 'Excalibur'
Although not a "new" introduction, this Euphorbia from Plant Haven needs to be added to our collection. 'Excalibur' has unique gray-green foliage with a pronounced white midrib. Long lasting flowers of lemon yellow with contrasting coral colored stems. Hardy to at least Zone 5. Euphorbia 'Glacier Blue'
A 2008 introduction from Plant Haven with fantastic variegated foliage! Icy blue-gray leaves with frosted edges of cream. Almost sounds good enough to eat, doesn't it? The breeder reports that 'Glacier Blue' is more robust than other variegated Euphorbias. Hardy to at least Zone 7. Euphorbia 'Kalipso'
An introduction in 2006 from Proven Winners with a dwarf, compact habit (8 to 12 inches) - perfect for containers! Long lasting flowers similar to Euphorbia x martinii. Hardy to at least Zone 6. Euphorbia 'Royal Velvet'
This introduction from Terra Nova Nurseries is ready and waiting for a spot in our gardens. The result of a cross between Euphorbia characias 'Portugese Velvet' and Euphorbia x martinii 'Red Martin', the striking red stems are a beautiful contrast with the glowing burgundy-red tones of the 'velveteen' foliage. Hardy to at least Zone 6. Euphorbia 'Shorty'
A new introduction from Itsaul Plants, 'Shorty' has foliage of blue-green. Glowing rosy tips, similar to the bright red bracts of Euphorbia x martinii 'Rudolph', develop with the onset of colder weather. Another compact selection with strong mounding habit that works nicely planted in containers. Hardy to at least Zone 7. Euphorbia 'Tiny Tim'
Dwarf, tightly mounding habit with green and burgundy foliage. A miniature form of its parent, Euphorbia x martinii, with an extremely long blooming period. Compact, dome-shaped form works well for containers or planted in the border. Hardy to at least Zone 6.
Euphorbia amygdaloides var. purpurea

Visit the band's website at www.kazyak.com.
Past Event
Kazyak, jam rock
- Thursday, December 16, 2010, 9 p.m.
- Ghost Ranch, 56 7th Street, Steamboat, CO
- Not available
Kazyak — Brontosaurus11 Brontosaurus by Kazyak
Kazyak — Join the Band01 Join the Band by Kazyak
Steamboat Springs Minnesota-based Kazyak's first album already was complete: 10 recorded and mastered folksy jam tunes with rhythmic styles ranging from bluegrass to Spanish rock.
But it was waiting for something.
Something that the band's bassist, Danny Vitali, saw while staying at the house of another band: crayon drawings of colorful, playful dinosaurs including the most beautiful brontosaurus.
"The melody was in my head when we woke up," Vitali said. "We wrote it shortly thereafter."
It turned out to be the title track of the band's first full-length effort, "A Beautiful Brontosaurus."
"You've drawn the most beautiful brontosaurus/I'll clarify after the chorus," the song goes. "The perspective you've used is slightly askew/but I think that your dimetrodon looks cool."
Too innocent to be a farce, too musically technical to be corny, the song captures a vision the trio had built throughout six years of playing together as the rhythm section for other bands.
"What it was originally was kind of an adult trying to relate to a child's art," drummer Jed Anderson said. "When you have these adult mindsets and adult ways of interpreting art, you see art like (the crayon drawings), and it would be viewed as amateur or otherwise.
"We're trying to find those funny and creative ways of connecting adulthood to childhood. The creative spark on all levels is what the song was originally about."
The trio of Anderson, Vitali and guitarist Peter Frey, who make up the intentionally undefined band name Kazyak, will play a free show at Ghost Ranch Saloon at 9 p.m. today. The show kicks off seven shows in seven days on its first trip to Colorado.
Hitting the road in July of this year was not the beginning of the band, which spent almost two years before that in Austin, Texas, where they played together for hours a day, writing the songs, music and stories that are dissolving into albums such as "Brontosaurus," for which the cover art is a childlike pastel drawing of a blue brontosaurus by Vitali.
The forthcoming "Rorrimirror," album will be coupled with an adventure-themed graphic novel about two young men who enter a strange fantasyland.
Appealing to elements of folklore, fantasy and wonder is just a part of what Kazyak hopes to do with its troupe that includes a manager and a full-time lighting designer.
With upcoming albums and through their blog, band members plan to incorporate Vitali's art and Anderson's literary passions into a humorous and artful package.
"The Kazyak philosophy is about much more than just music," Frey said.
Frey said the band members' years together before they released their work upon the music world were instrumental in their successes so far.
Now, playing the part of the new band on tour, they see anywhere from five to hundreds of people come out to listen to the floating harmonies and roots rock guitar riffs.
Frey said the band does get called a jam band, but members embrace the designation instead of trying to avoid it.
"We're not concerned about that label," Frey said. "We don't necessarily want to be boxed into a genre, but it's your own fault if you can't get out of it."
A keyboardist plays on the album, but the live show sticks to the guitar/bass/drums configuration.
"We've gotten a lot of compliments about us as a trio making nice noise together," Vitali said.
The live shows can appeal to crayon-inspired youthfulness or the music fan in anyone, Frey said.
"Musicians really dig what we do," he said. "There's a technical component. But there's an inviting, accessible aspect that invites everyone, young and old."
"Tell everyone to come be a part of our story," Anderson added.

Varalakshmi as a Salsa dancer in her debut
A graceful dancer in real life, she will be seen playing the role of a Salsa dancer in her debut movie as well. The director of the movie Vignesh Sinha was searching for dancers to play the key roles in his movie. The director"s search finally ended with the casting of Simbhu and Varalaxmi – a zealous dancer for the past 10 years.
As Varalaxmi does the role of a dancer and Simbhu is also a great dancer, the movie is obviously full of dance and song sequences. Varalaxmi, a graduate in Microbiology who also has a MBA from UK"s Edinburgh University, told our sources that the movie is loaded with songs, dances, comedy and romantic scenes.
The vivacious newcomer has already started practicing with Simbhu – who reportedly easily got a hang of the dance form. The shoot for the movie is scheduled to start from the first week of June. The movie is set to be shot in London.

It seems that, during their three year affair, Carey showered favors upon von Weichs, even placing her in charge of a super-exclusive club for CEOs. The lovers even wrote a book together: How to Run a Company.
Love letters, extravagant gifts and sappy e-mail now form the basis of the lawsuit, as von Weichs has joined forces with Carey's estranged wife, accusing him of lying under oath and trying to hide assets.
Von Weichs also claims that when she ended the affair and tried to put their relationship on a purely professional level, Carey had her fired in retaliation, despite the fact that she had tripled membership in the club.
A few friendly reminders:
- Don't lie. Apparently, Carey lied repeatedly to von Weichs about the status of his marriage. In a deposition, he said he'd had only a "brief" affair with her, when it apparently lasted more than three years. He also was forced to disclose additional financial assets.
- Don't cheat. To be taken seriously, leaders need to uphold high standards of conduct. Carey not only cheated on his wife, he also acknowledged cheating on von Weichs.
- Remember that e-mail is not private. It never was private. It never will be private.
- Distance yourself. Supervising someone with whom you're having an illicit affair is risky business. Promoting one is even riskier. Firing one you've promoted is practically begging for a lawsuit.

The National Council on the Aging and the Ameritech Foundation have awarded a $25,000 grant to the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center to support a program that allows older patients to test their own blood at home and transmit results to the hospital electronically.
"During the cold Chicago winters and the hot Chicago summers, it is very difficult for many of our older patients to come to the lab every three to four days to have their blood drawn," says Mary Bondmass, coordinator of the program and a doctoral candidate at UIC's College of Nursing. In response to this problem, Bondmass has adapted a system that will allow patients to monitor their blood at home and transmit the information via a modem to the hospital.
Bondmass will train patients to take a blood sample and use a machine called a coagulation monitor to analyze the blood. With the press of a button, the patient will then transmit the blood analysis information over a telephone line directly to the UIC Medical Center. The results will be monitored by a doctor at the hospital. If there is a problem, the patient's physician will be alerted and the physician will contact the patient about treatment. The response time for such a situation is under five minutes.
The blood-information transmission program at UIC will target patients with atrial fibrillation who are susceptible to blood clotting, which can lead to strokes. Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm that occurs when the heart's upper chambers (atria) contract extremely rapidly. Atrial fibrillation affects about two million people in the United States and occurs in 7 to 14 percent of the older adult population.
The grant to UIC is part of the Innovations in Communications Technology program -- sponsored by the National Council on the Aging and the Ameritech Foundation -- which fosters innovative uses of technology that help older people and people with disabilities.
"Ameritech is awarding these grants to recognize how organizations are beginning to use advanced communications to enhance the quality of lives of people of all ages and capabilities," says Douglas L. Whitley, president of Ameritech Illinois. "Many people have the false assumption that older Americans cannot or do not want to benefit from new communications technology.
"The fact of the matter is that such technology helps foster independent living among older Americans and people with disabilities. Many of these individuals are now learning how computers can help better manage their fiances and give them access to a greater variety of health services and medical information. It also allows them to stay active and independent in today's society and enables them to stay in touch with family and friends."
The National Council on the Aging is a center of leadership and expertise on the issues of aging. The council's 7,000 members include individuals and organizations that serve or work on behalf of older persons. Founded in 1950, the council is headquartered in Washington, DC.
Ameritech services millions of customers in 50 states and 40 countries by providing a full range of communications services, including local and long distance telephone, cellular, paging, security monitoring, cable TV, electronic commerce, on-line services and more. Ameritech has a strong tradition of giving back to the communities it serves. Last year, the company contributed more than $25 million to 2,000 nonprofit organizations, and Ameritech Pioneers -- 25,000 employees and retirees throughout the Midwest -- volunteered 332,500 hours of community service by supporting health and human services, civic and community projects, and educational and arts programs.

Juvenile Fire Stoppers
If you live in Bellevue and your child has played with fire, deliberately set a fire or you are unsure how to teach your child about fire safety, the Bellevue Fire Department can help. It is important to take the early signs of fire-setting seriously.
Through the Juvenile Fire Stoppers Program, personnel trained can assess fire setting behaviors, provide free fire safety education and recommend additional assistance if needed. Call 425-452-7881 for more information.
For your guidance, the Fire Department offers the following:
Fire SettingFire setting is the term used to describe the behavior of children who have begun to use fire in a way that is dangerous or not approved by a parent or caregiver. A fire setter does not necessarily have a problem, he or she needs additional education about the danger and proper uses of fire. Through education, and in some cases counseling, children can gain the skills to change this dangerous behavior.
When fire setting goes beyond what you are able to deal with, call your local fire department. The Bellevue Fire Department can provide fire safety education for your family. Do not put off dealing with this behavior. Fire is a devastating and deadly force.
Motivations for Fire SettingBy determining the motivation for the fire setting, we can best determine how to deal with it. Most children fall into the following classifications.
Curiosity/ExperimentationAbout 70 percent of fire setters are in this group. The child is curious. The opportunity is there because the child has access to fire tools and is not supervised. He or she decides to "see what fire will do." These children typically don't think about or understand the danger of their actions.
ReactionaryReactionary fire setters are usually older, upset about something and not very good at expressing themselves. They typically light a fire as a way to let grownups know they need help. Their fire setting is in reaction to a problem.
Delinquent BehaviorUsually teenagers, delinquent fire setters light fires for many reasons. Most of the time, it's a prank or because of a dare. Sometimes it's to cover up other crimes like vandalism or theft. Most fire setters in this group don't realize they are breaking the law and could go to jail.

What ad did you find?
This is the only one I see and you can trust them.
Cobray M10 Receiver Frame Flat and Drawings : Parts Kits at GunBroker.com
ya but that is a foldable flat ever try to fold 1/8 the inch steel??
it is a pain in the ass.
Oops, thought you were looking for a plain flat.
If I come across anything I'll let you know
Hello cldump,
Those 1/8th inch thick M-10 flats are easier to fold if you groove the fold line (inside surface) with a mill cut about .065 inch deep. A 1/2 inch ball end mill works for this groove. Also a 3/8 inch diameter end mill with the corners bevelled to 45 degrees works fine. Always fold these flats sandwich clamped to the proper size mandrel.
If you dont want to fold, look for the three part weld up pieces, remember you will also need the mag well and the trigger guard, but its an easy build if you can weld or find a friend who can
Last edited by hk22045; 10-06-2009 at 11:53 PM.
The weld together is fairly straight forward. Took me about an hour from start to finish

A tonal bronze finish frames this elegant ceiling light with a leaf and vine detail that frames its India Scavo glass diffuser.More Details >
Is your ceiling in need of a new way to shine? Enter this eye-provoking flushmount fixture. Leaves and vines weave a theme of nature under a multi bronze tone finish. India Scavo glass diffuses and defines the radiance.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
We love this light! It was affordable, easy to install and it really makes a difference in our living room. It's understated and simplistic - LOVE IT!
just ordered three more for another home
got for my home and once up got them for my office
This is a beautiful piece over our kitchen table. i think it would give more light if the shade were a bit lighter, or use a counter height table. The glass matches well with the Raiden collection mini pendant chandelier (88021).Really happy with customer service!
It was easy to install and looks nice. We have no negatives about it.
Wanted a classic design with some character for a classically designed home. Neutral color allows for an easy blend with some presence. When assembling, thread wires individually and have an assistant.
I just love this lamp!! It was purchased to replace an old ceiling light fixture. It adds beauty, class and great lighting to my newly redecorated kitchen. [...]
This is a beautiful fixture.
Glad to have Lamps Plus available -- good ideas -- lots of selection. Glad to see you expanding the furniture line.
The light is beautiful as I stated in review cannot get it to mount flush to ceiling other than that it is very pretty much larger than we thought works great in a room with high ceilings
This light is both very good looking and functional. It produces a good deal of light and looks elegant. Simple to install.
Our first purchase from Lamps Plus and we're now sold on them! The amber glass of the light gives off a lovely glow and makes the warn wood of our living room look beautiful in the evening. It still gives off enough light to allow for reading without being overly bright.
First time ordering with lampsplus.com. A wonderful buying experience, nice prices, huge variety so I could find just the right bronze light for my dining room!! Would highly recommend!
This lighting fixture gives off the perfect light for my art studio!

As the peacocks and popinjays of Westminster flapped around the release of the Leveson report yesterday, I was six miles east, in a poor district of Limehouse.
I was there to meet what politicians like to call "real people". City Gateway, the organisation we're supporting through the Evening Standard's Ladder for London campaign, invited Prince Andrew and me down there to meet the young men and women it is helping into the job market by gaining them apprenticeships. People such as Danny, now 25, who'd been drifting, living on the dole, losing hope. City Gateway took him under its wing and gave him the training, encouragement and support to turn his life around. Now he is working as a delivery driver around town, loving his job and contributing to our city. "You can achieve so much when you're given an opportunity," he says. Others had been pulled out of a cycle of crime, prison and joblessness. The Gateway's chief Eddie Stride, whose enthusiasm makes him talk at a thousand miles an hour, told us of the growing problem in the area of gangs, guns and sexual exploitation. Problems that can be solved by giving young people a step up into an apprenticeship, a job, and hope. It felt great to see how our Ladder campaign had brought so many big companies on board to offer places. And I kept wondering to myself — Eddie and his team, or the intricacies of Leveson — what are the public really more interested in?
All the fun of awards
"The shocking rejection/Forgetting your lines/ What keeps us all treading the boards?/ It's all for the love, all for the love, all for the love of awards". So sang James Corden as he opened Sunday's Evening Standard Theatre Awards at The Savoy last Sunday. James was hilarious from beginning to end, by turns cruel and kind. We had a perfect mix of young, upcoming talent like Hattie Morahan and Matthew Tennyson mingling with the veterans like Judi Dench and Ian McKellen. So, when James introduced the Outstanding Newcomer nominees as: "The people who, sitting here with their partners tonight, know that this is probably the last year of this relationship" half the audience laughed, the other cried. Well, not quite cried. In fact, the whole night was upbeat and happy. Even though, as James pointed out at the beginning: "You all look like winners, but sadly in an hour's time, most of you won't be." From the red carpet (which was actually black — far more chic) to the carriages home, everyone was there to have fun.
A Wintour's tale
It was especially glamorous because, as well as having Burberry on board as our partner, we were co-hosting the evening with the exquisite Anna Wintour, editor of American Vogue. Her father, the legendary Evening Standard editor Charles Wintour, launched the awards all those decades ago. Fun to see the Guardian's Patrick Wintour, Anna's brother, verbally jousting on stage with James, too. It looked at one stage as if we might have a Patrick Stewart moment on our hands, but the pair parted firm friends. As I sat watching the proceedings, it seemed hard to believe only seven months had passed since I got together with Anna in the Carlyle Hotel in Manhattan and suggested we should do the awards together.
Secret of a showman
Victoria Pendleton wiped away a tear as Danny Boyle and his crew won the Beyond Theatre award for the opening ceremony of the Olympics. For the man who has just curated the greatest show on earth, he has a very dry wit. The secret of the ceremony's success? "We thought: if we get enough brilliant people on board, it might not be shite." I've seen him less deadpan, though. An old schoolfriend of mine, Peter Youngblood Hills, was in his movie The Beach, in 2000. I used it as an excuse to fly out to Thailand and hang out with Peter on set, for a holiday. One day, on a boat where he was filming, I wandered around a corner only to be confronted by the sight of a very angry Danny Boyle jumping up and down shouting at me: "Get the fuck out of my scene!"
A hit with the young
You certainly would not find that language at Toby Young's West London Free School, which I visited this week to speak to the pupils about the world of newspapers. Toby's created a remarkable thing there — a truly comprehensive school but with strict public school values. The kids were impeccably polite but with great spirit. In my talk I'd been carefully explaining about the importance of my father's crusading anti-corruption work in Russia. To spare their tender ears, I only fleetingly mentioned, condemningly, his now-infamous outburst in the TV studio. As I was taken on a quick guided tour of the classrooms later, a young lad, Mo, stood up and said: "I really appreciate what your dad did." "What do you mean?" I asked, expecting plaudits for Dad's brave support for freedom of speech. The brilliant Mo looked at me like I was a simpleton and said: "For punching that bloke in the face!" Bad example you're setting the younger generation, Dad.

Home > World News > Article
Priests and presidents, pilgrims and politicians have arrived in Rome from around the world to fete an ailing Pope John Paul as he prepares to mark the 25th anniversary of his pontificate.
Up to 16,000 pilgrims packed St Peter's Square on Wednesday as the 83-year-old pontiff used his weekly audience to open four days of celebrations marking the silver jubilee.
The Pope was carried in a chair to the podium from which he addressed the faithful. In only his second such audience since the early (northern) summer, he was greeted by a sea of Polish flags waved by countrymen here for what many believe will be their last chance to see him.
The Pope, determined to confound reports that he was "seriously ill", was in relatively good form but at times had difficulty speaking. "I thank you from my heart for being here today and during all these 25 years," he said in Polish.
Official delegations from many countries were to attend a Mass in St Peter's at 2am today Australian time - the hour at which, in 1978, Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla was elected the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. Celebrations will end on Sunday with fireworks and the beatification of Mother Teresa of Calcutta before 200,000 people.
While his rigorous schedule over the next few days underlined the Vatican's desire to suggest that little has changed, there were signs that a new era has arrived in which the Pope will put his affairs in order.
"The Pope's feeling is that Jesus didn't come down off the Cross, and therefore neither should he, and that he will keep going until he literally drops," a Vatican official said of the pontiff's determination to carry on.
"It is true," the official added, "that in the last month he has noticeably declined. But he continues to receive people daily."
While few in Rome believe the Pope is contemplating retirement, his deterioration is forcing church leaders to reconsider how the papacy can function led by a man disabled by Parkinson's.
For some time his role has been tailored to suit his infirmity, first by cutting the length of services and more recently by reducing his active participation. Now, however, the Pope is having difficulty speaking.
As if anticipating the gravity of this problem, Portugal's Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins said last Sunday that the Pope "could continue to carry out his functions even if his illness caused him to lose his speech".
"The spoken word is very important for those who govern, but the Holy See governs more with its head than with talk," Cardinal Martins said.
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the Pope's former "prime minister" and now head of the Congregation of Bishops, admitted last month that the Pope "would have preferred not to have any celebrations".
"But the world's Catholics wanted the papal jubilee adequately celebrated," he told the Italian bishops' daily Avenire, "and so the cardinals decided they should commemorate the event with an initiative that would see them all come to Rome."
