Anniversary Update review by Michael Passingham
Microsoft's Anniversary update to Windows 10 is likely to be the first of many feature updates to the company's showpiece operating system.
On the first page of the review I focus on the new Anniversary Update and its features; from page 2 onwards you'll find the original Windows 10 review. The latter will be revisited once I've used used the final version of Windows 10 Anniversary Update for a few weeks.
We've all known what was going to be in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update for the best part of five months, so there aren't many surprises here.

Windows Ink is the most important update for those who use 2-in-1 devices with a stylus. This part of the update is all about future-proofing and ensuring that Windows 10 is ready for the next generation of 2-in-1s, including the Samsung Galaxy TabPro S, Huawei MateBook, Asus Transformer Pro 3, Acer Switch Alpha 12 and the Microsoft Surface Pro 5.
Perhaps more importantly, with this improved stylus support Microsoft hopes to be able to steer buyers away from the iPad Pro.
With Windows 10 Microsoft has created an opportunity to move the 2-in-1 form factor from being a nice-to-have to a must-have. Windows Ink could be game changing with the right piece of hardware.
To find all the new goodies, open up the Windows Ink Workspace. On a Surface Pro 4, this can be done by clicking the button on the end of your Surface Pen – on other devices this will vary. Popping open the Workspace will reveal three brand-new features: Sticky Notes, Sketchpad and Screen sketch.
Oddly, the key application here is the humble Sticky Notes. It made its debut in Vista's Gadgets interface 10 years ago, and since then it's been a staple of Windows. However, it's only now that Microsoft has allowed you to actually write onto the notes with a stylus.
But they're functionality doesn't end there. If your writing is neat enough, Microsoft's patchy personal assistant Cortana will read your notes and suggest you turn them into a reminder. This function appears to trigger only if the note includes a time frame, such as "call Michael tomorrow", so your notes will need to be fairly precise in their description.
You can also note down phone numbers and flight numbers, which Cortana will highlight in blue. This allows you to take an action, such as saving the number to your contacts or tracking the flight you just wrote down.
I'm a huge fan of Sticky Notes' ability to turn your scribbles into an actual list. Draw a dash before each list item and Windows should recognise it as an individual list item, which can then be dragged up and down the note to alter its priority level. You can then draw a line through it to mark it as done. The feature is superb for those who want to commit to a paperless workflow. The ability to draw tickboxes and add other, more advanced features to my notes would have been welcome, but it's appears to be a good start nonetheless.

Note that the above impressions of the Sticky Notes feature are based on a demonstration by a Microsoft representative last week, since the device supplied to me by Microsoft didn't have the new Sticky Notes installed.
Next up in the Ink Workspace is Sketchpad. Sketchpad sits between Paint and OneNote as a drawing pad, allowing to you create quick doodles without faffing around with OneNote's more advanced features. Its one notable feature is the interactive ruler, which lets you draw perfectly straight lines with ease. You can snap the ruler to certain angles, and move it around as you please. It isn't perfect, though: you can't accurately rotate it around a specific point, so you can forget about drawing inch-perfect pie charts or bicycle spokes.
The third new feature is Screen Sketch. This is essentially Sketchpad, but instead of a blank canvas, you're able to draw over or add notes to a screen capture or a photo, and play with the ruler again.
It's a weird hybrid between pressing Print Screen, and using the Snipping Tool and OneNote. It's also rather like taking a Snap in Microsoft Edge. It does rather feel like feature creep and, for a lot of people, will surely be quite confusing. It's not convenient; it's bad UI design. I don't understand why Microsoft didn't roll this all into OneNote, which comes pre-installed on every Windows 10 PC.
At a base level, Windows Ink and the Workspace are good additions, but their success will rely on greater third-party app support. For now, this feels like a mish-mash of useful and duplicate features.
Microsoft's digital assistant has also benefited from some tweaks, with some new functions that include the ability to perform commands while your device is locked.
It works reliably – I was able to set reminders, check my appointments for the day, send emails, look up pictures of dogs, find nearby restaurants and check flight status information, all without having to log into my machine. It's handy if you're about to dash away from your desk and need to check where your next meeting is without having to log back in. But it's only good for at-a-glance information; if you want to interact with any of the information displayed, you'll need to log in.
Cortana now hooks into Universal Apps in more detail than ever before, with Microsoft often using the example of takeaway-ordering app Just Eat. It's able to access your calendar and take note of the fact you have a lunchtime meeting booked in. It will suggest a greasy meal to nosh over as you thrash out exactly how you plan to improve inter-departmental synergy.
It's a great concept, but I've yet to see any particularly compelling integrations that don't result in an expanding waistline. This is another one for the future.

Cortana is now also able to handle cross-platform notifications, showing missed calls, SMS notifications and other alerts from your Windows and Android smartphone. Cortana isn't available for Android in the UK – and there's no word on its release – so I wasn't able to test this with my main phone.
However, I was able to put it to use on a Microsoft Lumia 950, and it did successfully notify me of a missed call. The best part of this is that you can tap the notification and send an SMS reply from within Windows, so you don't even need to pick up your phone to deal with it.
The big downside here is that it isn't quick enough to notify you if your phone is actually ringing, so if your phone is in silent mode then you're unlikely to catch the call. In my tests, it took at least 30 seconds for these notifications to fire, which is far too slow.
Microsoft is playing catch-up with Apple's iOS/MacOS Handover function, and while I'm sure there will be plenty of features for Windows 10 Mobile users, I doubt many Android app developers will bother trying to hook their app into Cortana and Windows 10, so Windows is unlikely to catch Apple here.
Microsoft has opened up Windows 10's Hello security API to allow third-party apps to hook into it. This only applies to devices that are certified by Microsoft and are limited to depth-sensing cameras and fingerprint readers for now. But as Hello becomes more common and fingerprint readers and cameras are integrated into more devices, this will become more important.
The only app I was able to find to actually support this is Dropbox, but I managed to log into my Dropbox account through the Windows app via the face-detection hardware in my Surface Pro 4 without a hitch.
This will also be integrated into Microsoft Edge, although I've yet to stumble across any websites that support it.
This is a biggie for die-hard Edge users – if such folk exist – with Microsoft finally opening up its browser to third-party extensions. These can be found in the Windows Store. Prior to the Anniversary Update launch, there were 13 extensions available from the likes of Pinterest, Amazon, Evernote, Pocket and AdBlock (sigh). I hope to see more following the launch of the Anniversary Update.
Edge's extension integration is well thought out, with each extension initially hidden in the More menu on the top-right of the screen. If you like an extension enough to have it display next to the Edge address bar, you can move it there by right-clicking on it.
It will be interesting to see how deep Microsoft will let extensions delve into the inner workings of Edge.
You can now set Windows to run apps in a Dark mode. This is great for a few Windows Store apps, but common tools such as File Explorer completely ignore it, continuing to display in blinding white. Next.
There have been some small but useful changes to the Start menu, which most people will appreciate. It now lists all your programs in a vertical list, which means you don't have to poke through folders to find what you're looking for. Recently added applications are right at the top, with Most Used sitting just beneath them.
There's a noticeable increase in the number of "Suggested" apps, with Microsoft still appearing to believe that ads in what's now a paid-for operating system is still the way to go.
The Linux-based Bash command line is in Windows for the first time ever. For the general consumer this will mean nothing, but this is a big deal for developers.
Bash and Windows have never played nicely together before, but with this official integration, worked on by both Microsoft and Ubuntu's parent company Canonical, developers can expect to have a much easier time when developing scripts for multiple platforms. By most accounts it's a work in progress, but it's better than no movement at all.

Windows 10 Anniversary Update adds a few new features to the OS that, right now, don't appear particularly significant and which most people probably won't use. However, they're making Windows 10 ready for the future.
With biometric-style logins with Hello, good stylus support and handwriting recognition through Sticky Notes and Cortana, Bash integration and cross-platform notifications, Windows 10 is doing just enough to keep its head above water in the multi-platform battle against Google and Apple.
It's also positive for the Windows ecosystem as a whole. Microsoft has shown clear intent to add handy features to Windows 10 on a regular basis, and perhaps in the future we'll get as excited about Windows 10 feature additions as we do with new versions of iOS and Android. Maybe.
You don't really have any choice about installing the Anniversary Update; it will be downloaded to your computer and if you want to continue receiving Windows 10 updates then it's essential. For those who aren't bothered about the new features, then all you really need to know is that the update doesn't make things any worse.
Happy Anniversary.

For this site its not a bad review considering.
That said I do not understand how you can rate the OS as it is not out until the 29th onwards and as with all new OS or upgrades it takes around 6 months or more of tweaking still so the finite issues start to run smoothly.
You gave Apple Yosemite 9/10....for and upgrade as you called it..!
The bottom line is I would not provide an out of 10 scenario until its official.
Will you be constantly updating this review to take into account any new major updates? For example, Threshold 2, which is expected this fall and is also expected to bring many new UI changes and new features.
I completely agree with this score, and everything in this review (usually I disagree on a few points, and every now and then outright oppose your review scores) and it was a good read (although I do wish you had written a piece on Groove Music as it is the default music player). Good job on writing a well-rounded, unbiased review. As long as you continuously update this review as Microsoft will continuously update Windows 10, I'm very satisfied.
Written on Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 10240.
Thanks for the kind words -- a great deal of effort went into this review.
We'll definitely be revisiting this review over the coming months, particularly given how DirectX 12 will develop. It'll be interesting to see if the Windows Store sees any serious growth, too, as I think that'll be big indicator to how Windows 10 is performing.
See above -- we will be updating this review in the weeks/months to come.
That's very good. I especially look forward to the review update when Threshold 2 comes along, as I'm excited to test it out myself (as I'm an Insider I'll be getting it first).
In my perfect world there would be no such thing as review scores, but that's a whole different thing.
As noted above, we will be revisiting the review at regular intervals to see how things are developing.
While the OS isn't out until tomorrow, the review is based on the build that's going out tomorrow. It's the same version everyone is using to review Windows 10.
On the Windows/Mac comparison, I think the big difference is Windows is attempting to do more, which makes scoring it more difficult. But, as I said, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the score. It's just a number.
I guess, if you were breaking it down, it would be a 9 for desktop/laptop users and a 7 for tablet/hybrid users, hence the middle ground.
Thanks for your reply.
Yeah I agree with a lot of this and what you said just except for the out of 10 bit as noted. I do appreciate you have to get the ball rolling but it wouldn't be as much fun if we all fell in line! :)
I agree the review is very in depth and actually its analysis is great. I do not think it is un-biased just the score issue is for me but otherwise a great piece.
It is a very nice piece of work I have to agree and I think the analysis is superb and written with a lot of thoughtful process. It is factual and also lets the reader think about what the capabilities are so in this regard an excellent article. Maybe I should give more credit where credit is due and it is despite things :)
I believe the score is accurate. I would put it as a high 8, but I'm not sure at this point Windows 10 deserves a 9/10 overall.
Ran it for a couple of months gone back to windows 8,I probably will upgrade when all my apps run on it properly.my only question is,will it keep all apps or will I have to reinstall,I don't fancy reinstalling some 300 games.
"That said, the constant pressure to sign up to a Microsoft account and get involved in all its cloud services is something that some users just won't be interested in. The fact that you can't even use the Mail and Calendar apps without a Microsoft account is positively shocking. It's not that you can't use the system in a more offline way, but Microsoft does like to pester you if you do."
This is the key to whether I use Windows 10 or not; I have no interest in first-party apps like Mail and Calendar, I simply want a solid platform without a 'relationship' with Microsoft.
Exactly how irritating is running Windows 10 without a Microsoft account as a long term solution, if I am content to do without their first party apps?
The upgrade process should keep the majority of apps and files. As always, though, be sure to back everything up just in case.
Thanks. Andy and I put a lot of work into it so glad to hear it's appreciated.
Anytime it showed how much effort you put into it.
Not a single thing will be removed, upgrading experience in windows 10 is the best in Microsoft history.
At least you have the option to install another client or use web mail services.
Try using ANY Apple device without an Apple account - I dare you ...!!
I've had my laptop on all day but why isn't the stupid thing automatically installing Windows 10? All my Windows updates are already up to date, I previously reserved Windows 10 when prompted, and I'm running 8.1 but when I click on 'Check for Update' there's no sign of Windows 10 coming down the internet pipes....Help!!!
Well it's 8:30pm and I'm still waiting for the download to start...
One question I do have:- I wish to clean install to a new SSD, currently my Win7 install is on another drive. I assume this will be possible?
If you go here
You dont have to wait
You pay for it my friend. How where you expecting to get an operating system for it?
How big is Windows 10 installation after upgrade ?
i hope it did not leave too many junk
'Edge is also easier to use on touch-enabled laptops and hybrids' - I disagree with this. While the interface is tons better than touch IE, there are no gestures in Edge. Also, some sites via touch are broken like Google Maps. You can't scroll around or anything. And performance is hit or miss. On Zillow, it's horrific. While Edge is a great start, it has a ways to go.
Windows Update (on a Windows 7 desktop) had already failed one Windows 10 upgrade attempt with me yesterday, throwing up an error message with a string of C1900208 or other, so I downloaded Microsoft's MediaCreationTool64 and the resulting Win 10 iso file. After resolving the software incompatibility problems and a dead desktop -- nothing on screen wanted to click -- I found out that Windows 10 hadn't been activated. It appears to be a common problem, and one joker at a forum said if you keep on pressing the activate button, it will eventually activate somewhere between 20 and 40 clicks. I tried it anyway, and after the 15th click Windows 10 finally activated. I guess M$'s activation servers were massively overwhelmed yesterday.

Since the end of World War II, the people of Japan have constructed a modern democratic society. However, their failure to address behavior during World War II in which Japanese soldiers murdered millions of people and raped a few million women has never been addressed. It is t his attitude which led Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso to utter inane remarks about how modern Japan can learn from those good old Nazis of yore. There is a movement within Japan to rewrite the Japanese Constitution and allow the nation to create a modern armed force. Aso suggested following the method employed by Adolf Hitler who simply voided the democratic Weimar Republic Constitution. As Aso notes, "it was changed before people realized it. Why don't we learn from that method?"11
I assume it means the Japanese government should void those parts of the Constitution which prevent aggressive war. Just what Japan needs–go to war against China!!

UPDATE 2-Lincoln Electric Q2 profit beats Street; shares up
(Adds conference call details, analysts' comments, updates share movement)
By Bhaswati Mukhopadhyay
BANGALORE, July 23 (Reuters) - Welding products maker Lincoln Electric Holdings Inc (LECO.O: Cotización) posted better-than-expected second-quarter earnings, helped by U.S. exports and big infrastructure projects in emerging markets like India and China, sending its shares up as much as 16 percent.
The company has been challenged by the North American market and volatility in the metals markets, but its growth has been driven by higher international demand from oil, gas and energy related projects.
The U.S. slowdown is beginning to bottom out and should rebound towards the end of this year and next year, Walter Liptak of Barrington Research said.
The company, which also has operations in Russia and the Middle-East, said its China business grew 50 percent in the second quarter.
Infrastructure demand in China is clearly the biggest opportunity for Lincoln as infrastructure development continues beyond the Tier 1 cities, Michael Cox of Piper Jaffray said by phone.
The company is also benefiting from the burgeoning shipbuilding industry in China, added Cox, who has a "buy" rating on the stock.
The rebuild-up efforts following the earthquake in May will also provide significant opportunities for the company in China, Cox said. Continuación...

The Star Spangled Banner chords
Francis Scott Key (1814)
G Em D Em B7 Em A7 D
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's early light
G Em D G Em D G
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
G Em D Em B7 Em A7 D
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
G Em D G Em D G
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
G Em D G Em A7 D D7
gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
G Em C E7 Am G D
Oh, say does that star spangled banner yet wave,
o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

I have found that pain after virtually all cosmetic surgeries is very subjective. There are a few factors that I believe effect a woman's perception of pain after breast augmentation. If a woman is "happy" and "eager" before her surgery, she usually has very little pain, and she frequently describes her sensation as "pressure", and not pain. This type of woman frequently takes a dose or two of a prescription pain pill, then either changes to Tylenol, or discontinues oral medication entirely. If a woman is very "anxious" and "nervous" about her surgery, she always seems to require more pain medication. So preoperatively, I discuss this observation and suggest the patient put herself in a "happy state of mind", so she has a greater likelihood that she will only have "pressure" and not "pain". Sometimes this type of patient can benefit from a prescription of a low dose anti-anxiety medication. Regardless of which type of patient a woman may be, I always give a pain med prescription, but many tell me they hardly used them.
Another factor that parallels that mentioned above is the current "psyche" of the woman.....is something bad going on in her life (recent loved one's illness, job uncertainty, etc.), then she may be more likely to be in the "anxious" and "nervous" category, even if it is not the surgery that is causing that mental state.
Of course, one's expectations always adds to a woman's pain perception. If a woman has a friend that told her it was painful, she will be more likely to have pain. Or if she is told by a friend she doesn't understand why she would want to "have a boob job", that negative opinion can also negatively effect how one perceives post operative "discomfort". So I always tell my patient to surround herself with friends or family that have "positive attitudes" toward her decision to have breast implants.
Finally, there are a few technical factors that may effect post op discomfort. Some patients that have sub pectoral implants may have slightly more "pain" than those who have sub mammary implants, although I find the "subjective" factors to out weigh the implant position. And post op activities can also have an effect. I usually restrict my patient's arm movements (i.e., I ask her to keep her upper arms by her chest). This limits motion of the muscle or of the tissues around the muscle, thereby decreasing the chance for significant pain. After a week, the healing has had significant time to diminish the sensation of the immediate perioperative discomfort and resuming normal arm motions is not an uncomfortable sensation.
Here's to your "positive attitude" preop and very little discomfort postop!

Fantastic write up and pics. I need to go through it slower with a beer this afternoon... Adding this link to my future euro delivery planning spreadsheet!
To those who say many of the pics show up as Xs or ?s. I get the ?s error for majority of the pics when viewing on my iphone, but not on computer. I get this fail quite often.. I have noticed when viewing my own uploaded pics, that pics taken on the phone will display when uploaded from the phone or ipad, but if uploaded from the computer (typically bigger format), they do not all display on the iphone.
Any techno gurus explain?

text: WASHINGTON, June 14, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A bipartisan majority of 227 Representatives in the House have joined forces on a letter asking the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to delay implementation of a questionable procurement program for home medical equipment, says the American Association for Homecare. The program, known as "National Competitive Bidding," is set to expand into 91 new areas on July 1. The letter sent yesterday to CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner focused on "the lack of transparency, the lack of binding bids during the contract process, and the improper vetting of the financial wherewithal of many firms that have been awarded contracts." The letter was signed by 60% of House Republicans and 40% of House Democrats. At a press briefing Thursday morning, five of the Congressmen who support a delay spoke about their reasons for doing so. "We are concerned that mishandling of the bidding process, as outlined in the letter, will impact Medicare's ability to serve its beneficiaries and the taxpayers," said Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.). "We urge the Administrator to do the right thing and delay the program through the end of 2013 in order to allow for adequate investigation and correction of the significant problems that we have identified." Rep. Thompson worked with Rep. Bruce Braley (D- Iowa) to educate their colleagues about the poorly designed program and to get their signatures on the letter. "A government-imposed monopoly in medical equipment will put countless small businesses that provide medical supplies out of business, kill jobs in local communities, and reduce choices for Medicare beneficiaries," said Rep. Braley. "The free market should be allowed to work within Medicare, and a bipartisan group of representatives comprising a majority of the U.S. House agree."

RABAT – Morocco said Thursday that the alleged members of a jihadi cell it arrested in mid-February, including a French national, were plotting to carry out "biological" attacks in the kingdom.
"Some of the seized substances (from the suspects) are classified by international organizations which specialize in health issues as falling within the category of biological weapons dangerous for their capacity to paralyze and destroy the nervous system and cause death," the interior ministry said.
"Members of the terrorist cell had prepared these deadly substances with a view to using them in their terrorist projects inside the kingdom," it said in a statement.
On Feb. 18, the ministry announced it had dismantled a "terrorist cell" of 10 people suspected of having links to the Islamic State group and planning attacks in the North African country.
The suspects, including a Frenchman, were arrested in several towns, it said, without giving further details on their identities.
Morocco has been on guard against deadly attacks like those claimed by Islamic State in Tunisia last year that killed 59 foreign tourists.
Rabat says 152 "terrorist cells" have been busted since 2002, including 31 over the past three years with ties to jihadis in Iraq and Syria.
A study by the U.S.-based Soufan Group said in December that at least 1,200 Moroccans had traveled to fight alongside Islamic State in Iraq and Syria in the past 18 months.

We went to Trayce's on Saturday Night (19 Sep 2015) to listen to some Jazz and Funk by Louie D Project. The staff is excellent as well as the other customers. Louie D did not disappoint and we had a great evening.
Thanks for making our first visit to Trayce's a fantastic and memorable time. It felt like we had spent the evening with old friends.
P.S. - Order the nachos, you will not be disappointed nor will you leave hungry.
Great times. When are the 2015 dates?
Best escargot in Charleston. Great atmosphere!
Ate lunch today, the food was fantastic if you like good home cooking. Price runs between 7 and 10 dollars per person. Friendly staff and good service. I had the pork chop and it was great.
Great people and great service. I recommend highly.
This ia an awesome showcase of young raw talent. Losdahost is excellent. The talent is amazing. Everyone needs to see these hidden treasures of youth and expression. There is nothing subjective about the Art going on here is REAL Talent, and greatest forms of expression. Bentleys is great venue and appreciate them lending their venue to display all these artists.
I love this place. Never had a problem with services. Whenever I have people from out of town visit I always take them here for the duck club.
i have been going here since they opened. i LOVE it! the service is always friendly and it is my favorite local hang out and they always have great music playing.
Excellent spot. The Bun Mi sandwich was perfect, with a nice steamed bun exterior, and bahn mi style pork inside. Their charcuterie is well made and full of salty goodness. I am glad they are downtown, and not near my house. I would gain way too much weight eating there.
The only problem I have with this place is that it's close to work, and after I eat there I don't want anything but a nap. Greasy goodness...
Hello. Please, I will like to contact with Robert Dickson. I worKed at the Cellar restaurant in 1971 as the piano player where John Bennett was the director and I am trying to find him. I will apreciate if you can help me. My wife has a Facebook page. There you could leave the way to contact me

Camp Sewee was such a Amazing experience for my daughter. She was super sad when she had to go because she loved it so much. Even though she had eye problems there they still made her feel part of the group. She will not stop talking about her trip.
Best fried coconut ice cream with raspberry sauce, ever!!!
Since Revelry has not yet been rated yet, I would like to start their rating out with an enthusiastic 5 star rating! Sean, Jay and Ryan have really done well by not only providing the craft beer drinking community a great place to hang out, but also providing a great lineup of quality, great tasting beers!! Keep up the great work!!
I don't get it. Why the complaints? This is not a fine dining place. It is a wonderful classic French dinner bistro; The kind I like to drop into in Paris. We are regulars, usually eating a salad frisee with goat cheese and Moules Frites. They also are known for their Suchi (a bit of a surprise). It can get noisy around end of work, hookup time and the service can be terrible on any of the holidays due to over demand and decreased staff, but it hasn't stopped me from going. If you want elegant and pretty food, go elsewhere and pay considerably more. Here time it well and eat well.
Rue de Jean is a Charleston classic that never disappoints. Downtown is so saturated with new and amazing restaurants that it's easy to forget the ones who have been a fixture for such a long time. We were endlessly debating on which new restaurant to visit when we decided to pick a place we haven't been in years. Rue fit that description.
Each of our courses came out tasting better than the last. The escargot, while straightforward, was delightful. The steak Roquefort was cooked to perfection, and the scallops were massive with perfect texture. The rich cream both served with the scallops was out of this world. Our server was a true professional, and the wine recommendations were spot on.
What is the point of this review? It is to remind those of us who have lived downtown for years to not forget the classics. There are so many new restaurants that have opened recently and it's easy to fall into the hype trap while overlooking the establishments that have been producing a consistent and quality product for a long time.
In a very competitive restaurant town, they are creating food that cannot be found elsewhere in charleston. Very original flavors, great location, prompt service. This is a restaurant I can eat at a dozen times( and I have) and never order the same thing.

Symptoms of Peak Oil
Enjoy the Cheap Oil While You Still Can
Baltimore, MD—"There are two words that you will never hear again in the same sentence: 'cheap' and 'oil.'" I remember saying this more than seven months ago, as oil was trading above $60 a barrel.
But I should confess something. . .
I was completely wrong.
Before you jump the gun with jests and accusations, just hear me out for a minute (because I know many of you will feel the same way). You see, there's a chance I'll be sitting at my desk six months from now reminiscing about how oil used to be so much cheaper in the mid-$70s.
I know oil prices always fall during the winter. Believe me, I thought they'd already be heading lower.
That's not the case, though. I'll let last week's Energy Information Administration (EIA) petroleum report show you what I mean . . .
For the last four weeks, crude oil spot prices rose significantly. Notice that last week's spot price was $23.59 more than the previous year.
quot;Well, maybe they're going to start heading down now?" you ask.
Possibly, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it. In fact, oil prices are expected to rise above $85 a barrel before the end of 2007 and to over $100 a barrel next year.
It's not good enough for us just to hear somebody say that oil is going to rise. My thirteen-year-old niece could make that prediction. We want to know why we're in trouble.
And we seem to blame the wrong people, too. Just the other day, I was talking about gas prices with my neighbor when the record crude oil price of $83.90 a barrel came up. I was curious as to how he felt. "So what do you think is causing all this?"
"It's those damn big oil companies. Exxon and all them guys are ruining everything, trying to keep prices high to get more of our money," he said matter-of-factly.
Imagine his surprise when I told him that all the "big" oil companies like Exxon control less than 10% of the production. He gave me a curious stare when I mentioned peak oil to him. He had never even heard of it before.
"Well, that'll change soon, because it's going to be an issue as big as global warming within the next couple of years."
Here's the thing: The more we see how tight global supply and demand are getting, the more our minds focus on peak oil.
Peak oil, of course, is the point when global oil production peaks and begins to decline.
Here are the facts: Right now the world is producing roughly 85 million barrels per day (mmbbls/day). And producers are struggling to maintain production from depleting oil fields. My question is: What do you think will happen when we're still producing 85 mmbbls/day in the near future, but consuming 88 mmbbls/day?
Even if production doesn't steeply decline like the peak oil theory claims, but rather plateaus like the International Energy Agency (IEA) suggests, the gap between supply and demand will continue to widen. That'll lead to considerably higher oil prices, well in excess of $100 a barrel.
Not only is oil getting more expensive to extract, but we're also not seeing the same major discoveries we were decades ago. There are no more Ghawars out there, plain and simple.
I believe we'll easily see $90 oil before it drops below $70 a barrel, especially if the EIA's weekly oil report continues to show crude oil stocks dropping. U.S. stocks last week were about four million barrels less than last year.
Savor It Now While You Still Can
I told you I was wrong about oil never being cheap again.
The truth is that oil is incredibly cheap right now compared to what we'll see in the future—which raises the question, "What is the true price of oil?"
In 2002, we all would've agreed that $50 for a barrel of oil would be ridiculous, considering prices were $20 a barrel. A few years later, we would have said that $60 oil would never sustain itself, and prices would soon be back to $30. All of a sudden people are saying that $100 oil is within reason?
What's next?
When we're consuming 97 million barrels per day in 2015 (according to the optimistic EIA estimates) and production is still in its "plateau," will we think $300 for a barrel of oil is cheap?
Let's just enjoy $80 while we can.
Until next time,
Keith Kohl

I do these peelers all the time,I think the two main causes are #1 the sun and #2 thin clear.
You hve a few options first off its hard to tell from just a pic but the cheapest and fastest way is to only do the top surfaces (that Irock decal might be a little pricey) and from the molding down looks pretty good.
so start with a razor scraper and carefully scrape ALL the clear of,if there are stubburnd spots sand those with 320 getting the clear offdone this way theres no need for a sealer just base it and clear it,that little strip between the T-top and the rear glass is ez and the deck is pretty short so that wont take much time but the hood is a different story that might take a while with 320...basicly you dont have to sand ALL the clear off just sand it until it starts feathering nicely.
if you have a lot of dents or dings and if the clear isnt cooperating sanding with 180 is much faster but you'll have to seal it with a good epoxy(SPI reduced about 20-30 % works great)once the top surfaces have been epoxied then sand with 320 If you want to paint the whole car all it needs is 320 and shoot no need for any sealer of any sort on the sides unless you do a lot of dent and ding work on them.
If you use a razor scraper BE CAREFULL not to gouge the surface or or all bets are off... theres a few tricks to using the scraper like honing the new blade on glass and good quality blades ...I use them all the time without any gouges but it takes some experiance and technique I find most guys need help using razor blades so try it in a few spots and see if its working for you but for heavens sake dont keep going and gouge or scratch up the whole car then you'll be in trouble,so be very careful and if you have any question just ask, theres some other little tricks too..

While growing up on St. Kitts, Greg's parents became leaders in the local Tourism Industry, starting one of the first hotels in the islands, with Greg's Dad, eventually receiving the "Order of the British Empire" (OBE), from the St. Kitts Government for his outstanding achievements in local Industry. This has given Greg a unique grounding as well as a deep sense of understanding for his home country and coupled with his tourism training abroad, has allowed him to become one of leading and longest serving tour guides in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Greg and his team of certified Tour Guides have won many awards from the Tourism Authority for their businesses high standards of service. From the very beginning Greg has used modified, 4X4 Land Rovers to do his "unique" island Safaris with. Being specially made, the 8 Land Rovers he uses today, are all open sided with mostly forward facing, stadium orientated seating, that provide his guests with the best way to experience exploring beyond the shores of St. Kitts and Nevis. Greg's Safaris is the only tour company in the Federation that uses 4X4 Land Rovers for touring on both islands! For your private, half days hiking pleasure, Greg has created two "unique looped hiking trails", one at the Phillips Mountain Valley (2 miles long), and at the other at the Wingfield River Valley (2 1/2 miles long), on St. Kitts. His company is also the only one on St. Kitts to offer driving tours from coast to coast through the lushly forested interior and while traveling through the mountains his guests would have access to a private 5 acre "mountain top property", perched1000 feet sea level, a place of cool temperatures and breathtaking views, that can only be experienced on a "one of kind" 4X4 Safari Tour with him and his guides. Greg is one of the founding members of the St. Christopher National Trust and as well, sits on the Central Forest Reserve National Park Committee. He is also a Life Member of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, The Brimstone Hill National Park and is also part owner of Sky Safaris, a company he started in 2009. less

4l60e output shaft seal?
1 Attachment(s)
I need help finding the right seal for my output shaft? What type of seal is it? Standard Color? See the picture. thanks
no idea what you are talking about.
no seal is located where the finger is pointing
There is a grove machined into the shaft at that location that looks like it would hold an oring or something. My atsg manual does list a "output shaft seal" in that area.
Crosley.. are you saying there is no seal of any sort on the output shaft?
When that trans was new there used to be a tin cup with an oring in it that was pressed on in that location on the output shaft it used to seal the opening of the yoke to keep it from filling with oil gm stopped using and Ive never seen a rebuilder put it back on
Was that on 4x4 models as well. Sorry I don't think i specified that. I saw that tin cup thing on the 2wd model shaft.
just 2 wheel drives

PCGS 55 CAC N Description 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-26, B-12. Rarity-5. Bowers Die State III. Three Leaves. AU-55 (PCGS). Secure Holder.Finest-Known 1795 BB-26, B-12 Flowing Hair Silver DollarThis is one of the rarer die marriages of the 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, and it is described thus in the 1993 book Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia by Q. David Bowers: 1795 BB-26 is believed to exist to the extent of 100 to 150 coins, most of which are in lower grades up to and including VF. Fine grade seems to be about par for this variety, an issue which must have circulated very extensively. The variety is very rare EF and unknown in Mint State. Any specimen which grades EF or higher is Condition Census level. In his 1881 Type-Table, this was one of the varieties J.W. Haseltine designated as 'excessively rare.' A fitting introduction to our offering of this, the finest-known example of a rare early Dollar die marriage. Through plate matching we have determined that this piece is the plate coin for the variety on page 215 of the aforementioned Silver Dollar Encyclopedia by Q. David Bowers. The coin is identifiable by a concentration of criss-crossing adjustment marks (as made) in the center of the obverse, another concentration of lighter adjustment marks along the obverse border outside stars 3-6, a small X in the right-obverse field inside star 10 and a tiny reverse abrasion below the left (facing) ribbon end. Research conducted by early Dollar specialist W. David Perkins confirms that this coin was once part of the William F. Gable Collection (auctioned by S.H. Chapman in 1914) and, later, the collection of Frank M. Stirling. Incidentally, Perkins believes that BB-26 is even rarer than Bowers states, and he assigns the variety a Rarity-6 rating and accounts for only 30 or so survivors. (Perkins' findings about both this coin and the 1795 BB-26 are unpublished as far as this cataloger knows, although they were included in the description for lot 8117 in Heritage's sale of July 2003.) The bold die crack (as struck) from the lower-obverse border, through the digit 7 in the date and into Liberty's portrait to the ear confirms not only the BB-26 die marriage, but also the Die State III attribution. Unlike most examples of this die state, however, this coin is boldly struck throughout to include the centers. (This feature impressed Q. David Bowers when he handled this coin in the 1980s for, in his Silver Dollar Encyclopedia, he states of this piece: "An AU-55 examined by the author had excellent center detail on obverse and reverse.") Both sides are lightly-to-moderately toned in a mostly pearl-gray hue, the color perhaps a bit bolder on the obverse. Aside from the aforementioned pedigree markers there are no marks of note, and ample evidence of a satin-to-semi-reflective finish is still readily evident in the fields as the surfaces dip into a light. Advanced early Dollar specialists take note: once this coin sells it may be many years before it finds its way back onto the open market. An extremely important opportunity to acquire a Condition Census #1 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar.PCGS#: 6852Pedigree: Ex: The William F. Gable Collection (S. H. Chapman, 5/1914), lot 614; unknown intermediaries; The Frank M. Stirling Collection; The 1986 A.N.A.

So as the beta approaches and the game is soon(hopefully) to be released, I think it's time for a Diablo 3 thread for everything D3 related.
What are you planning on rolling first?
I'm planning on rolling a Demon hunter. Obvious reasons, it's got solo-ability. I see it as a character that you could get through inferno with by yourself. Plus it will compliment my buddy's Barb well when we rush through the game initially. We're trying to get through inferno before anyone else so hopefully we can 2 man it easily.
Check in here and hopefully we can get a bunch of texer' together to play with when it comes out.
The new site is up for everyone to check out also

In Center for Biological Diversity v. EPA, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia finds no statutory basis for exempting "biogenic carbon dioxide" – the term for pollution generated by plants and other organic materials rather than fossil fuels – from federal emissions requirements.
Under a 2011 provision known as the "deferral rule," EPA was given until 2014 to develop standards for such sources. At the same time, however, the agency admitted that carbon dioxide from ethanol production, biological waste decomposing in landfills and wastewater treatment facilities, and burning wood and agricultural materials has the same impact on the atmosphere as carbon dioxide from cars and power plants.
That prompted environmental groups to sue to keep the rule from going into effect.
The court found that all carbon dioxide is created equal.
"Although the Deferral Rule spends pages explaining the scientific uncertainty about biogenic carbon dioxide sources, the additional research EPA plans to undertake, and why three more years of study are warranted, the rule . . . nowhere offers an interpretation of the Clean Air Act that would allow the agency to treat biogenic carbon dioxide sources differently,"the court ruled in a 2-1 decision. "This deficiency is not merely the result of scientific uncertainty,"
The dissenting judge thinks the agency should have the flexibility to delay the rule "until it has the time it says it needs to study and resolve the issue it is charged with regulating."
Don't feel like you have to immediately begin implementing emissions-control measures, however. EPA's reviewing options, so this case is far from closed.

Re: list of bits to string
It's a two step process. The first thing you need to do is use the
"Flatten" function on your list. Then take that and use "ToString" on it.
The code:
a={0, 1, 1, 0, 1}

Ishq Vishq Pyaar Vyaar
M.K.College. One of the best colleges in Mumbai. Or rather the best college in Mumbai. Students flocked to this college? Why ? Because there is nothing this college didn't have. It was the best of the best.
It was just an another usual day at the college. The college music band was busy irritating the teachers with its loud rock music. The Goths were sitting at the far end of the college with their heads together. The nerds were busy explaining each other the laws of gravity. And f course like every other college, MK College had its popular student's gang too. The popular students included the attitudish Anjali, The flirt Rehan, The brat Armaan and the rich Rahul.
These four had a separate group of their own. Every one wanted to be like them. Why? Because they were popular and obviously good looking.
Anjali and Rehan were busy chatting with each other. Armaan and Rahul hadn't arrived yet.
Anjali - Where are those two ? They are gonna be late for sure !
Rehan chuckled.
Rehen - Chill ! They will be here soon !
Exactly at the precise moments the distant rumbling of a car engine were heard.
Rehan - Ah ! There they are.
Two cars speeded their way into the college and stopped right in front of the college building.
Two handsome guys stepped out if their respective cars.
Guy 1 - I beat you this time Armaan !!
Armaan - Yeah. But I will beat you next time Rahul.
Rahul - We will see about that.
Armaan and Rahul, MK's most sought after men. Girls swooned after them. While Armaan was single. Rahul had just broken up with his girfriend Trishala. The break up had an impact on Rahul. Rahul was seriously in love with Trishala but Trishala had dumped him for some other guy.
Rahul was left shattered after that.
Anjie - You guys are late !
Armaan - Late ? Us ? Nah ! Armaan and Rahul are NEVER late. The others are just too early,
Rehan and Rahul chuckled when Anjali rolled her eyes.
Anjali - Anyway. Where is that behenji friend of yours Rahul ? Is she late too ?
Rahul - Don't call her Behenji. Give her some respect.
Armaan - Oooh ! Rahul likes Behenji.
Rahul rolled his eyes.
Rahul - Me? With Behenji? No ways! I asked you guys to give her some respect because she helps me a lot. Afterall she is the one completing all my projects.Right ?
The rest of them laugh.
Rehan - Yeah that's true. I wish even I had a person like her. I seriously need a rest from all these idiotic projects.
Just then the classroom's door burst open. A girl with with a white salwaar kameez and curly hair entered the class, an another girl followed her. Those two girls were none other than Muskaan and Riddima.
Rehan - Ah! There they are. The two Behenjis of our college have arrived.
Rahul smiled wickedly, Muskaan and Rahul knew each other from childhood. Muskaan has a HUGE crush on Rahul. The whole college knew that she had a crush on him.
Muskaan knew very well that Rahul wouldn't look twice at girls like her. So in order to get his attention, she used to "help" (or rather complete) Rahul with his projects.
For Rahul hanging around with Muskaan was an embarrassment. He was the cool dude and she was the behenji. The only reason he hung out with her was the fact that Muskaan would do anything for him, which proved very handy for Rahul as all his projects and assignments were completed by her.
Muskaan approached Rahul's desk with a file in her hand.
Muskaan - Here ! I have completed the project for you!
Rahul gave her a smile. Muskana smiled back and slowly made her way back to Ridzi.
Ridzi didn't approve of Muskaan completing Rahul's projects and assignments.
Riddima (whispering so that no one would hear her) - This is WRONG Muskaan ! He is supposed to complete his projects on his OWN!
Muskaan giggled. Whenever she completed Rahul's projects from him. Riddima would start her usual lecture.
Muskaan - Chill Ridzi! I know what I am doing.
Riddima rolled her eyes. Muskaan was so madly in love with Rahul. That she didn't notice the fact that he is just using her.
Riddima was afraid of the day when Rahul would actually break her best friend's heart. Muskaan would be totally shattered.
Riddima sighed and followed Muskaan to their respective desks.
Soon the lecturer came in and went ahead with his class.
*After the class, In the College canteen -*
Muskaan, Riddima and their bets friend Atul were sitting at the far end of the canteen. While Rahul and Armaan were also in the canteen sitting just diagonal to Muskaan, Ridzi and Atul's table,
Armaan - So how is it going Rahul? Any improvements with Trishala?
Rahul sighed. He hated discussing about such a painful topic.
Rahul - No. I guess she doesn't like me anymore.
Armaan - Don't be so negative Rahul. She obviously likes you. I don't understand how she could dump you in order to go out with that Aryan guy! That's SO unfair!
Rahul sighed again.
Rahul - LIFE is unfair!
Armaan (grinning) - You can ALWAYS win her back!
Rahul raised his eyebrows.
Rahul - How?
Armaan - Simple. Make her Jealous. Go out with an another girl and she will come spinning back to you.
Rahul looked uninterested.
Armaan - C'mon it works. I have personal experience about that. I am the love guru right?
Rahul (thinking) - Well...It's a good idea but who do I go out with ?
Armaan - Simple again. Muskaan!
Rahul - Are you nuts? Me with Behenji? No way! I have a reputation to protect!
Armaan - Do you want Trishala back or not?
Rahul - I do. But not if I have to date Muskaan. Is there no other girl?
Armaan - Nopes! Muskaan is the best option right now!
Rahul sighed again. He looked over at Muskaan's table. Muskaan was busy chatting animatedly with Ridzi and Atul.
Rahul didn't know why but looking at Muskaan chatting excitedly with Ridzi and Atul made him smile. Muskaan was such a cute chatterbox.
Rahul - Okay then. Muskaan it is.

Armaan – Excellent! Now all you have to do is win Muskaan's heart, but that shouldn't be too difficult as we already know that she is crazy in love with you.
Armaan grinned wickedly. He was under the impression that he was helping his best friend. But apparently he had no idea that he would be breaking Muskaan's heart in the process.
Rahul – So what do I do?
Armaan – Simple again. Propose her…today!
Rahul stared at Armaan.
Rahul – What?
Armaan – You heard me. Propose her today. It's best if we get this done fast.
Rahul – But..
Armaan – No buts ! You are gonna do it today and I am gonna help you.
Rahul gulped. He had to propose Muskaan today.
Rahul – Okay. But how and when do I do it?
Armaan rolled his eyes. Rahul was so inexperienced.
Armaan – Take Muskaan to the College garden and propose her there.
Rahul – When?
Arman – Now You idiot !
Rahul gulped. He was unsure about this.
Armaan – C'mon you can do this.
Rahul – But how do I call her outside in front of her friends ?
Armaan – I will do that. Now you go to the garden. Hurry!
Rahul got up and walked to the garden. Armaan meanwhile went to Muskaan's table.
Armaan – Muskaan?
Muskaan looked up.
Muskaan – Yeah?
Armaan – I need to talk to you for a minute. Can you please come with me ?
Muskaan looked surprised. She gave a confused glance to her friends and followed Armaan ou of the canteen.
Muskaan – Where are we going?
Armaan – You will see.
They walked silently and soon they reached the garden.
Armaan – Go and stand near the bench, Rahul is waiting for you.
Muskaan looked surprised.
Muskaan – What for?
Armaan – Don't ask questions. Just go.
Armaan gave a slight push.
Muskaan walked toward the bench clearly surprised.
Soon she found Rahul sitting there.
Muskaan – Hi Rahul. You wanted to see me?
Rahul looked up.
Rahul – Umm….Hey…
Muskaan – Whats wrong with you? You look worried.
Rahul – Um….sit with me.
Muskaan sits down. Confused.
Muskaan – What's the matter?
Rahul ( really fast ) – IloveyouMuskaan.
Muskaan – What? I didn't get what you just said.
Rahul takes a deep breath and says it clearly this time.
Rahul – I love you Muskaan.
Muskaan blinks at Rahul. Cearly stunned.
Muskaan – What?
Rahul – Yeah. Its true.
Muskaan does not believe him.
Muskaan – You are joking right?
Rahul – No.I am not.
Muskaan stands up. She looks angry. Rahul gets up too.
Rahul – What's the matter?
Muskaan ( angry ) – What do you think I am Rahul? A fool? Did you really think I could fall for such a joke?
Tears start forming in Muskaan eyes. Rahul pulls Muskaan towards him.
Rahul – Why do you think I am joking?
Muskaan snorts.
Muskaan – You are the College's most popular guy. Why would you fall for me?
Tears start flowing down from Muskaan's eyes now. Rahul wipes them off with his hands.
Rahul – Muskaan.I am not joking. I love you. From the day we met in childhood I have been in love with you. I would do anything for you Muskaan…anything. Please believe me.
Muskaan is shocked and so is Rahul. He couldn't believe he just said that and he couldn't believe that the words just came out from his mouth as if he was really deeply in love with her.
Rahul – So ….will you be my girlfriend?
Muskaan nods. And from that day onwards Muskaan was Rahul's ' girlfriend '. The title of Behenji was no longer attached to her.

* A week later*
It was now normal for the college students to see Rahul and Muskaan together. The girls were extremely jealous to see Muskaan with Rahul and as Armaan reported to Rahul. Trishala was jealous too.
But surprisingly. Rahul enjoyed having Muskan as his 'girlfriend' she was extremely supporting (unlike Trishala) She kept his need in front of hers( unlike Trishala) and was extremely sweet too (unlike Trishala again).
* Armaan and Rahul alone *
Armaan – Our plan is working. Accordint to my sources. Trishala is really Jealous.
Rahul grinned. He was happy to hear that.
Armaan – And if keeps on going like this. It will be soon that you get rid of Muskaan.
Rahul's smile changed into a frown. He didn't know why but he didn't want to break Muskaan's heart.
Rahul sighed, gave Armaan a small smile and started walking towards the Library where he expected Muskaan to be.
Rahul liked being around with Muskaan. She was fun, jovial and not to mention talkative. He smiled thinking about her animated conversations. You couldn't help but be lost in her conversations.
Rahul entered the library. All the students in the library turned to look at him. Whispers started lowing. Rahul grinned. They were clearly surprised to see him there; afterall he had never se foot in the library.
Rahul searched for Muskaan but she was nowhere to be seen. He saw Atul and he walked upto him.
Rahul – Muskaan kaha hai?
Atul – who abhi abhi Ridzi ke saath canteen gayi hai.
Rahul – Oh ! Okay thankz..
And saying so Rahul rushed out of the Library to the canteen.
He saw her emerging from the canteen. She was with Ridzi. Apparently they were arguing about something. Rahul walked upto them
Muskaan ( To ridzi ) – HAH ! I was right !
Riddima – No! You are not! I am!
Muskaan stuck her tongue out at Riddima and so did Riddima.
Rahul grinned, Both of them were so silly sometimes.
Rahul – Hello? Remember me?
Muskaan and Ridizi grin
Muskaan and Ridzi – Hi !
Riddima ( to Muskaan ) – I got to go. Extra Class. I wont be coming with you today.Sorry.
Muskaan – Oh! That's okay.
Riddima smiles and leaves.
Rahul – So. How do you go home?
Muskaan – With my scooty. But since its under repair. I guess I have to ho by bus. ( thinking) I wonder what the bus fare is..
Rahul rolled his eyes. Muskaan was so different from the other girls.
Rahul – What am I here for? I will give you a ride home!
Muskaan – NO. That's okay.
Rahul – I insist.
And saying so he drags Muskaan by the hands and makes her sit behind me on he bike.
Soon they reach Muskaan's hostel. Muskana gets off the bike and turns to Rahul.
Muskaan – Thanks!
Rahul – Anytime.
Muskaan turns and heads for the hostel gate, but before she could do so Rahul caught Muskaan's hands.
Muskaan – What?
Rahul – Aren't you forgetting something?
Muskaan – What?.
Muskaan asks innocently.
Rahul – My payment.
Muskaan – Payment?
Rahul – Yeah. My payment for dropping you here.
Muskaan grins.
Muskaan – How much do you want?
Rahul – Its not money I want.
Muskaan – Then what do you want?
Rahul – A kiss.
Muskaan – I wont give you that. Now let me go.
Rahul – I wont.
Muskaan smiled. Ad she leaned towards Rahul's cheek and gave him a quick peck.
Rahul felt a zing pass through him. He let go of Muskaan's hands clearly dazzled. Muskaan takes advantage of the situation and quickly runs away. Rahul gets back to his senses.
Rahul ( calls after Muskaan ) – HEY ! NOT FAIR ! IS THAT ALL I GET ?
Muskaan just sticks his tongue at him and walks away. Rahul grinned.

Rahul came back to his hostel apartment which he shared with Armaan. Armaan was not back yet.
Rahul couldn't resist the urge to call Muskaan. So he picked up his mobile phone and dialed her number.
Muskaan didn't answer. Rahul was worried. Fibally Muskaan picked up the phone after many rings.
Muskaan – hello?
Rahul (a little angry) – Muskaan! How long do you take to answer the phone?
Muskaan – Rahul? Sorry yaar. I was actually waiting for Ridzi in the terrace so I couldn't hear the phone ringing.
Rahul felt as if he heard the most wonderful news in his life.
Rahul – Riddima isn't back yet?
Muskaan – Nopsy! And it looks like it she will be late today.
Rahul – Good.
Muskaan – Good?
Rahul – Yeah. Because I am coming to your hostel apartment now.
Muskaan – NO ! Don't ! The warden will murder you.
Rahul – I don't care. I am coming.
And he puts the phone down. Muskaan is worried.
Soon after 15 minutes.—
Muskaan was really tired after a long day at the college. Her window was open and cool breeze started flowing in. She started to find herself going all sleepy.
Soon after 30 minutes –
Rahul jumped in through the open window. He called out Muskaan's name but there was no reply. He found her on the couch asleep with books strewn all round her.
Rahul waslked slowly towards her, and it was the first time he noticed how beautiful she actually was. She looked like an angel. Rahul leaned down beside her and moved a starn of her hair so that he could see her face properly.
Muskaan woke up with a jerk. She sat up on the couch,
Muskaan – What are you doing here ? How did you come here? Did the warden –
Rahul held one finger to silence her up.
Rahul – I came here to visit you. I came here with the help of the pipe ( Muskaan mouth opened up in shock ) and no, the warden did not catch me.
Muskaan ( scared ) – Rahul. You shouldn't have come. Now go before somebody catches you.
Rahul laid a finger on her lips.
Rahul – Shh Muskaan! NO one will catch me. Don't worry.
Muskaan still looked tense.
Rahul (grinning) – Aren't you happy that I came ?
Muskaan – No nothing like that. But you will be in major trouble if caught Rahul.
Rahul – Don't worry about me, Muskaan. I can handle it.
Muskaan finally cracked a smile.
Rahul – So…
Muskaan – So..?
Rahul – My kiss?
Muskaan – I already gave it to you.
Rahul – No. you didn't.
Muskaan ( grining ) – Don't force me Mr.rahul Gerewal. I know karate.
Rahul laughed.
Muskaan – Would you like something to eat ?
Rahul – Yeah sure.
Soon an hour passed. Suddenly the door bell rang.
Muskaan – Oh no! Riddima! Rahul…Hide!!
Rahul – I have to go!
Muskaan – HOW will you go?
Rahul- Pipe.
The doorbell rang again.
Muskana – Are you MAD ? You will get hurt.
Muskaan was worried. Rahul smiled seeing Muskaan worried for him.
Rahul – No ! I am used to this. Nothing will happen
He swiftly kissed Muskaan on the cheek and went away through the window again and Muskaan opened the door.

* The next day *
Muskaan was waiting for Rahul at the college gate. As soon as she saw Rahul bike. She waved at him.
Rahul saw her. Parked his boke and came towards her.
Rahul – Muskaan? What happened?
Muskaan – Nothing. I was just waiting for you to see whether you got down safetky. Apparently you have.
Rahul smiled. Muskaan was so caring. He felt himself growing close to her. No matter what he tried to get away from her. He just couldn't.
Armaan was busy reading a book in a empty classroom when Rahul entered the classroom. Rahul looked very happy.
Armaan – What happened? Good news?
Rahul – Tishala came upto me and told me that she loves me today!
Armaan – WHOA! Awesome ! So my plan worked out huh ?
Rahul – Yup it did. Thanks man!
Armaan – Anytime. Now I guess you have to dump Muskaan.
Rahul – Yeah. I have to do that. Muskaan really helped me in this whole " make Trishala " jealous thing, I owe her,
Armaan and rahul laugh. But suddrnly they hear a squeal. Armaan and Rahul turn to see who it is. Rahul's ace turns from glee to shock. It was Muskaan. She had tears in her eyes . She ran out of the room.
Rahul ran after her.
Rahul – Muskaan. WAIT!
Muskaan didn't stop and she ran into the girls' bathroom.
Rahul stood outside the bathroom for a long time. People stared at him. Soon Ridzi arrived.
Riddima – Oh hey Rahul ! What are you doing outside the girls's bathroom ?
Rahul – Waiting for Muskaan. She is in there, Crying.
Ridzi hurries into the bathroom.
Soon after a few minutes,
Riddima e,merges from the bathroom with Muskaan following her.
Rahul – Muskaan.
Muskaan holds up a finger to silence him.
Muskaan - You have nothing more left to say Rahul. So please. Leave.
Rahul – But..
Muskaan – You have done what you could. I have nothing more to say. And I am happy to have helped you in winnind Trishala back.( sarcastically ). But I guess our friendship won't survive. Goodbye forever Rahul.
Ridzi and Muskaan leave Rahul standing there all by himself.
Rahul ( whispering to himself ) – I am sorry Muskaan…Really sorry !
