Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) (cont.)
During the MRI Procedure
The study may take place on either an open scanner or a closed scanner. For an open scanner, a person lies on a table face up, and the table slides under the magnet from the side. For a closed scanner, which looks like a tube, a person lies on the table face up and goes in either head-first or feet-first, depending on what part of the body is being scanned.
The MRI scan is performed inside a large magnet, and the person lies on the table in the center. During the procedure, the machine scans the body by turning small magnets on and off. Radio waves are sent into the body. The machine then receives returning radio waves and uses a computer to create pictures of the part of the body being scanned. The radio waves used in the procedure are safe and are similar to the radio waves used in a car radio.
After the MRI Procedure
If a contrast injection is used, the IV is removed from the arm before the person goes home. No side effects from the scan or the contrast injection should occur.
In the rare circumstance that sedation is needed, that person is sent home once awake and alert. For those people who receive sedation, someone must drive them home. No aftereffects occur from having an MRI.
A radiologist is a medical doctor trained to interpret various imaging studies. The radiologist interprets the results of the scan, and the results are then sent to the doctor. How quickly the doctor receives the report depends on the imaging center where the study is performed.

DETROIT -- Donning his John Deere hat and with Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire playing in the background, Marcus Nilson was the hero.
He knew, however, who the real man of the hour was.
It didn't matter Nilson scored the Calgary Flames' overtime winner, the key to victory was -- as usual -- goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff.
"That's what he's here for, stopping the puck," Nilson said dryly before his tone turned serious. "You don't get used to (performances like that) but he does it every night."
Yep, in the city where pizza is king, yet another Kipper Special was served fresh and hot last night in the Flames' 2-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings.
The win not only gave the Flames first blood in the best-of-seven Western Conference semifinal series, it's the first time they've won an opener since the 1989 Stanley Cup final of 1989.
Game 2 is tomorrow afternoon in the Motor City.
Wins with a 2-1 score may seem monotonous -- eight times it happened in the regular season and it's the third of the playoffs -- but nobody's going to complain in the Calgary dressing room.
Especially with the way the unassuming netminder stole the show before the sellout Joe Louis Arena gathering of 20,066.
The fully rested and highly potent Red Wings came out of the gates on fire and owned the first period. It may not seem possible but the opening frame was even more one-sided than the 13-2 shot clock read.
Both of the Flames offerings toward Curtis Joseph were harmless, from Krzysztof Oliwa and Steve Montador.
At the other end, Kiprusoff was under siege. Yet the opening period ended scoreless.
"We got out of there thanks to Kipper," said Craig Conroy.
"I was thinking, 'Holy cow, they're all over us.' It was pretty bad. They took it to us and we were very fortunate to come out of the first period because Miikka was Miikka again.
"I watched a lot of Detroit's games against Nashville and their first periods were great. We've got to match their intensity in the first. We don't want to have to weather a storm like that every game. It's not good for us."
But they did and despite falling behind midway through the second on a Robert Lang goal, Calgary bounced back, forced overtime thanks to a Robyn Regehr tally and completed the comeback when Nilson scored 2:39 into the extra period.
Nilson collected his first career playoff goal because Martin Gelinas beat both Mathieu Dandenault and Jiri Fischer for a puck deep in Wings territory and fed a perfect pass to him in the slot. Nilson flipped a top-corner offering by Joseph.
"The puck was standing up there and that's probably why it went in. I just tried to go high," Nilson said. "It was a great feeling to see it go in."
And it gives the Flames hope.
"We knew we were going to be tired, I think that showed," said GM/head coach Darryl Sutter. "But at the same time, we showed the grit to hang in there in the first period.
"Then doing what we always do -- dig down and fight back. Some time you're going to play against stars that are older than you but you have to find a way to earn your respect and many of those young guys did that starting with tonight."

City spot with a concrete promenade that ensures a good number of onlookers, but also a nasty backwash at high tide. Usually mushy but rarely closes out close to the jetty when it's big and windy. In summer walk south to find empty peaks.
High consistency, often crowded and all facilities including surf shop and school. More open beachbreak to the north at St-Jean-de-Monts and on Ile de Nourmoutier at Barbatre.

Dating a man during a divorce makes you trashy
- 148 Replies
My exh started dating this girl a month after I filed for divorce. All throughout the divorce he kept claiming he loved me and to stop in while he was sleeping with her. She sent me this message the other day and I had to laugh.
"I love all kids been around them all my life I can see where the concern factor for them comes Into play in this situation.. I would never do anything to harm them or my family for that matter.,however one thing for sure I'm not trashy and I have never dated someone married before or anything close.,I don't like cheaters and I don't know what all this is"
My response was
"Exh was married when you started dating him. That makes you a cheater.Also, exh choosing to spend nye with you having sex when he just met you over being with his kids for the holiday shows a lot about both of you."
Quoting Remy11: I don't think it's trashy at all. Once the marriage is over and both parties agreed that the divorce is going forward what does it matter? Not cheating as they are no longer in a relationship.
You both let each other go, that's it.
She's not trashy, you're hurt.
Nope. Once you decide to end the relationship, you're free to see other people. If you know it's over, there's no problem moving on, IMO.


text: The standard way to pull off a dead note/ mute note is to hold down the string on the fretboard with your left hand without actually pressing down to play the string, yes? Ok, my question is when it comes to slap bass(slap and pop) does the same method HAVE to be applied? According to a friend of mine some people like to mute the string with the back of their palm instead. Which technique is proper? or are both acceptable?

"This program provides effective application across multiple industries, and keeps the material very relevant to current business issues participants are facing in the workplace. There was very rich discussion in class, as well as the completion of several realistic scenarios, which will enable us to hit the ground running back at work.
I can rely on ASTD [now ATD] to present material that is very well constructed, timely, content-rich, and relevant to the challenges workplace learning professionals face every day."

HAGUE Adoptions
Adopt Abroad is a fully HAGUE ACCREDITED adoption agency. We are proud to say that we have been Hague accredited since 2008, when the U.S. enacted the Hague treaty.
The Hague accreditation is required to conduct adoption services in other Hague countries. The accreditation process is quite intensive. It ensures that you, the adoptive family, are working with an agency that has been screened and works to the highest standards set for U.S. adoption agencies. Adopt Abroad is one of only 179 U.S. agencies that have received this accreditation. Currently there are 88 countries worldwide that are signees to the Convention.
The Hague Convention on the Protection of Children is an international treaty that addresses issues related to international adoption. The convention became effective on May 1, 1995 and the U.S.A ratified the treaty on April 1, 2008.
The Hague treaty addresses issues associated with international adoption to include safeguards against child trafficking. The principal features of the Hague Treaty are:
- Adoptions take place according to the best interests of the child.
- The primary goal is to have a child raised by their birth parents, or country of origin, in cases where this is not possible, then adoption is a viable alternative.
- The member states work together to ensure the protection of children.
- Adoption decrees from Hague countries are automatically recognized.
- Each member state has a Central Authority which oversees the adoption process.
In the USA Hague adoptions only take place through an Accredited Service Provider, such as Adopt Abroad, Inc. Adoption agencies that provide any one of the six adoption services for a Hague Convention country must be Hague Accredited
- Identifying a child for adoption and arranging an adoption
- Securing consent to termination of parental rights and to adoption
- Performing an adoptive home study or a background study and report on a child
- Making a non-judicial determination of a child's best interests and of the appropriateness of an adoptive placement
- Monitoring a case after a child has been placed with prospective adoption parent(s) until final adoption
- Assuming custody of a child and providing childcare or any other social service when necessary because of a disruption pending alternative placement
For further information regarding Hague Convention adoptions, visit the U.S. State Department website at:
The Council on Accreditation (COA), a national accrediting entity designated by the US Department of State to provide Hague Accreditation and Approval, invites the public to provide comment on intercountry adoption service providers seeking Hague Accreditation, Approval or Renewal. You are invited to provide comments through COAs website at: hague-accreditation-and-approval/Public Comment
Adopt Abroad, Inc. is accredited through the Council on Accreditation. The Council on Accreditation is the agency selected by the U.S. State Department to screen and approve adoption service providers.

text: I've been reading a fair amount of negative things about Antoine's here, and, having made reservations for last night, I almost canceled them. We didn't, and I have to day it was a wonderful meal. We ate in the annex--a must I think--and it WAS like eating in a museum (what many have said). I posit that this is a GOOD thing. New Orleans has no many trendy, fusion restaurants, I think the fact that a restaurant is still doing what they've done well from 100+ years is something to be commended. I mean, the wine list has a table of contents! We had wonderful service, really good food (crawfish bisque, followed by tenderloin tips in marchand de vin sauce and chicken Rochembeau. This may not be the most mind-blowing meal you'll have, but it is a wonderful place dedicated to making the food they know and love. It's French Creole food with top items--nothing more, but certainly nothing less.

Nokia Venture Partners invests in Frontier
Post a comment
LONDON -- Frontier Silicon Ltd., the Hertfordshire-based fabless manufacturer of semiconductors for digital TV, digital radio and consumer multimedia products, has closed an investment of several million pounds from Nokia Venture Partners.
Frontier did not give an exact figure for the investment from Nokia Venture Partners.
Frontier Silicon was established in 2001, and is privately funded. Key shareholders include Apax Partners and Alta Berkeley, as well as Digital One, operator of a commercial DAB digital radio network, and Imagination Technologies Group plc, supplier of semiconductor intellectual property for the multimedia and communications market.
The new funding is set to allow the company to further develop its products for DAB digital radio and digital television and strengthen its development team.
Antti Kokkinen, general partner at Nokia Venture Partners, said: "We are excited by the growing market for digital multimedia technology, and impressed by the market dominance that Frontier Silicon has already achieved, becoming a significant part of the DAB digital radio revolution in Europe and Asia; with more and more countries adopting new digital broadcasting technologies, we also see excellent prospects for the company in other digital multimedia segments beyond DAB."
Frontier Silicon's core products include complete DAB modules, DVB-T solutions and the underlying system-on-chip devices.

OTTAWA - Two days away from making history, from playing their first regular-season game in franchise history, the Ottawa RedBlacks are talking about respect.
Throw the expansion franchise moniker aside, it's respect they're hoping to get on the field, the same kind of respect that linebacker and captain T.J. Hill has been fighting for much of his seven-year CFL tenure.
Hill, who was released by the Edmonton Eskimos after making 94 tackles last season (he's got 542 tackles, 12 sacks and 13 interceptions in his excellent CFL career so far), isn't dwelling on the lack of accolades he gets. It gnaws at him a bit that he's so often overlooked, but he's a team leader and with him, it's team first.
"Someone mentioned that to me, 'You're one of the leaders on the team, but you've really flown under the radar and don't get much media attention," said Hill, who, at 5-foot-9, 195 lbs., is a warrior playing the hybrid SAM linebacker position. "That's been my story my whole career. I could write a book about it."
To a man, the RedBlacks are anxious to play Game 1 Thursday night in Winnipeg and they're excited about what lies ahead in a future that looks nothing but bright.

Email is a critical communication medium for all professions and it can make (or break) your success, so it's good habit to always think before you send.
Do you know the difference between the "to" field and the "bcc" field when sending an email? Do you effectively use email subject lines? Do you always proofread your emails for tone and grammar before sending? We will be talking about these things and much more! Yes, email is quick, easy, and a major communication medium for all professions, but this doesn't mean all grammar rules go out the window. There are also many genre and etiquette rules to email and you should know them all if you want to successfully correspond with other in a professional manner.
Here are some tips for professional email etiquette:
- Select an appropriate email address and signature. "firstname.lastname@example.com" is not professional. Also, you should always have a signature line at the end of your email, even as an undergraduate. Consider structuring it this way:
Jane Smith
LSU Biological Sciences Student
(225) 555-5555
- Fill in the "to" field last. This way you can focus on drafting and editing your message and it will not accidentally be sent before you have a chance to proofread it a couple of times.
- Understand the difference between To, CC and BCC.
- "To" involves a message to a specific person(s). It's a direct email.
- "CC" is how you keep people in the loop; you are copying them on the email.
- "BCC" stands for blind carbon copy and is rarely used unless you are sending emails to a large group of people. BCC protects the identity of those to whom you are sending. It also protects them from being bombarded with responses from recipients who hit "reply all" because only you will receive the response if you used BCC, not everyone on the list.
- Choose your subject line carefully. You want to be descriptive, but concise. Avoid terms like "urgent" or "important" as they are typically spam triggers. Also, make sure to use the high priority marking sparingly.
- Be clear, concise, and complete. Use clear language, so your message is understood. Be concise; emails are no place for a manuscript. Anticipate questions from your reader and be sure to include that information upfront. Be informal, but professional. Get to the point, but don't come across as a jerk.
- Find the right tone. Email is not typical social media. It's a formal mode of communication. Don't email a boss as you would text a friend. They cannot hear your voice or see your face, so be conscious of the tone and approach you use in relaying your message. When in doubt, save a draft and consult a colleague.
- Apply the proper styles. Here are the "technical don'ts":
- Avoid unprofessional fonts such as Comic Sans
- "Pretty" backgrounds and graphics distract from your text.
- Text formatting is good (bolding, bullets, etc.), but beware of text-to-html conversions.
- Acronyms can cause confusion (and make you seem immature). LOL and BRB are not professional speak.
- All caps indicate screaming, so stick with sentence-case.
- Employ the 3-step Writing Process: 1- Plan (think), 2-Write (draft), and 3-Complete (proof and send).
- Use Attachments Wisely. You want to make the file size as small as possible and remember to actually attach the file. Keep in mind that some company systems do not allow attachments to be received.
- Know when (and when not) to reply and/or forward.
- Reply: Do you need to include anyone else when you reply?
- Reply All: Does everyone really need to hear your response? It's easy to make this mistake when you meant to reply back privately.
- Forward: Is it appropriate? For example, email humor isn't for the workplace.
- Avoid the "Nastygram." Attacking emails that are rude and unprofessional are never appropriate. Responding to controversial email is better done via conversation. If you need to vent, type it out in a word document and then delete it.
- Consider other effective methods of communication. It's okay to call or talk in person. You need to be considerate of confidential and/or sensitive information, especially on the Internet.
Don't forget to check the website for future student workshops. They're free and typically open to all students, so plan to attend one soon!
What students said about the CxC Email Etiquette Workshop:
"It helped me realize how important it is to formulate emails in order to come across as professional, competent and intelligent." – Richelle Saluga, marketing senior
"It was especially relevant for us as seniors entering the corporate business world." – Ryan Hernandez, marketing senior
"It was a great reminder of the do's and don'ts of sending and replying to emails. You should always be cognizant of what you say and how you say it online. This especially goes for many of us who are trying to apply for jobs after college or for when we do reach the corporate world." – Amanda Murphy, marketing senior

It would be great to have them back in this forum. I think about starting a thread about this problem or send him a message to revive this forum and make it active again like the arcane legends forum!

Dennis Harley Randall passed away on August 3, 2011 in Salt Lake City of kidney disease. He was born Oct. 6, 1940 in Ogden, Utah to Alma Fernelius and Lena Marie Pyrah Randall. He was raised in Morgan and graduated from Morgan High School in 1958. He served a mission in England from 1960-1962. He worked for the US postal service in Salt Lake City and retired after 37 years of service. Dennis was a very kind and generous man. He would give you the shirt off his back, which he did in many cases. As a young man he loved to dance, and he liked to listen to music. He also was in the high school plays. He was close to his nephew Russ Sommers, cousins Ken Cook and Carol Stokes, and niece Teresa Nelson. He is survived by brother Kent (Jerry) Randall of Layton, sister Betty (Ed) Rose of Morgan, brother-in-law Dan (Shirley) Sommers of Morgan and brother Gary (Joy) Randall of Morgan as well as 14 nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Shirley, brother-in-law Ed Rose, niece Dana Buxton, nephews Greg Randall and Scott Sommers. Dennis we love you very much and we appreciate all the good times we had. Dennis requested there would be no viewing or service and he was cremated at his request. His ashes spread somewhere in the Wasatch mountains. Love your family.

wikiHow to Appreciate Dragonforce
Dragonforce is a group unlike others. Their music is fantastic. Listen to their most popular ones and gradually you will get to enjoy all of them.
1Don't be unhappy if all songs you listen to sound the same except for the lyrics, and don't think fantasy is nerdy.
2Listen to their most popular songs. If you just don't like these songs, its more possible that you won't like the not popular ones. Some of their "best songs" are:
- Through the Fire and Flames
- Soldiers of the Wasteland
- Fields of Despair
- The Flame of Youth
- Fury of the Storm
3Watch their videos on YouTube. You will see that playing their music is no easy business. Look up some tutorials that Herman Li and Sam Totman have done.
4Understand that if you play an instrument you should try to play some of their songs. You can get the tabs for them at www.911tabs.com, or you can play the songs by ear. Now you will be able to appreciate that playing those tricky solos require tons of practice. If you play an instrument not used by DF, (neither guitar, bass, drums nor piano), try to make adaptations onto your instrument. You don't know just how fun it is to play "Fields of Despair" on an oboe.
5Look up their lyrics at www.darklyrics.com, and sing along to their songs.
6Check and find out if they are playing a in a nearby town/city. These guys are in constant touring, so you never know. You can look up at www.dragonforce.com . If you are close to one, make sure you go! Attending to a metal gig is a superb experience.
7Look for people with similar musical taste. They will most likely be happy to show you what their favourite DF songs are.
8Join a band and play DF covers.
9Investigate! Don't feel bad about looking up these guys on Wikipedia. Only real posers will call you a poser if you do this.

TUKWILA, Wash. – There might not be a coach more qualified than Brian Schmetzer to speak to the dangers of overlooking a lower-division opponent in the US Open Cup.
From 2002-08, Schmetzer led the then-USL Seattle Sounders to a 4-1-3 record against MLS opponents. Schmetzer's only regulation loss to a MLS team came in 2003, when his side fell to the LA Galaxy in the fourth round. In fact, the last team to beat the Sounders in Open Cup competition was the USL's Charleston Battery in the 2008 semifinals.
Now, as an assistant with the three-time defending Open Cup Champions, Schmetzer is hoping to help the Sounders avoid a similar fate as they prepare to host the NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks in the third round on Wednesday (10 pm ET).
"MLS teams need to make sure they prepare correctly," Schmetzer said. "Anything can happen on any given day, even if we prepare our team as well as possible. That's part of the great side of our sport. But if we do our jobs and make sure our players are prepared, we should give ourselves that added benefit."
Aside from the rather obvious motivations that come whenever lower-division teams face sides higher on the totem pole, the Silverbacks have a little something extra. Atlanta midfielders Raphael Cox and Ciaran O'Brien are both Seattle-area natives who once played in MLS. Cox played for Real Salt Lake in 2009 and O'Brien, a former member of Generation adidas, last appeared on the Colorado Rapids roster in 2010.
"That's what the Open Cup is all about," head coach Sigi Schmid said when asked about the pair. "For those players, it's an opportunity to say, 'Look at me. I think I deserve to be playing where you guys are at.'"
In addition to O'Brien and Cox, the Silverbacks have several other players with quality resumes. Midfielder Danilo Turcios has 85 caps with Honduras, while forward Reinaldo Navia has 40 caps with Chile and currently leads the NASL with six goals.
Despite that talent, though, the Silverbacks have not gotten the results they've wanted. They are currently sitting on five points through nine matches (0-4-5) and reside in the NASL's basement.
Of course, the Silverbacks' league standing is of no importance to the Sounders.
"We're not stupid enough to think we can overlook Atlanta," said Sounders defender Zach Scott, who is one of two Sounders left over from the USL days. "I've been in that position a lot of times with the lower-division Sounders where an MLS team has come in cocky and over-confident and we've put them in their place. For my part, I'll be sure to make the guys know we have to focus on this game."
Jeremiah Oshan covers the Seattle Sounders for MLSsoccer.com and SB Nation.

"I just wanted to let you know how fulfilled and happy dancing Salsa at Steps has made me this year. I have met some great dancers and super friends...and the classes were so much fun."
"We really enjoyed last night's class, and can really feel the moves coming together to look like real salsa! Awesome, thanks!"

I still have problems opening word document... Thanks Monal for PMing it to me. And do check the note above!
Part 24
"Mamma?" Kriya called out as they both sat at the dining table having their dinner. Smriti was awfully quiet.
"Huh?!" Smriti looked up at the sudden call.
"Is everything alright? You look tensed'"
Smriti played around with the spoon in her hand. "Haan' voh actually' I just got a call from my boss' he wants me to attend a meeting."
"So what's the problem?" Kriya asked. "Meeting hi toh hai. Jao na."
"It's in Mumbai." Smriti broke the news and Kriya fell silent as well, realizing what it meant.
"I can't say no but'"Smriti started but fell silent being concerned for Kriya. She knew what she did to Kriya was wrong but that just her being protective.
"It's okay mom." Kriya held Smriti's hand to console her. "I know you didn't mean anything wrong. It's your job' You should go. You've always taught me to keep personal and professional things separate right? So go. Aur mera kya hai. It's the weekend anyway. I'll just be at home. Even better? I'll ask Naina to stay over. No tension."
"It's not fair Kriya'" Kriya looked away before replying.
"So what mom? Life isn't fair, right? It played a rough game with you. Life has given me a chance to do something for you. You've lived your life accordingly ever since. For whom? Me?! Now let me do something for you. Relax and you just pack for your trip, okay? Finish eating. I'll do the dishes."
She got up and took her plate to the kitchen in a hurry. Once inside, she shut her eyes and took in a deep breath to get a hold of herself. Oh how she wished to go back to Mumbai and meet them all! It was her deepest desire! But alas, like she said, life isn't fair. She had made up her decision to live for her mother now and to keep her happy. And so, she was ready to give up this one sacrifice.
Outside, Smriti had her mind made. She walked in the kitchen just in time to see Kriya put her dish on the drying rack. She left just like that.
Kriya too retired to her room for the day. She opened her mail to reply to Vishakha. The last time, she had emailed her pictures and so many things happened after that that she simply couldn't bring it upon her to reply. Luckily for her, she saw Vishakha online. A big smile came over her face as she opened the chat box. But before she could send her a message, a message came from Vishakha.
"HEY stranger! Where have you been? No reply to the pictures either?"
"Hey Vish! Oh please, not a stranger. Just so many things happened'"
"Had another fight with aunty, kya?"
"Oh no' things are all good between us. In fact, it feel good to finally know the truth."
"Yea' I'll tell you some other other. So tell, how's everyone? It seems you guys had tons of fun in the wedding without me."
"Rehne de' I missed you a lot! And yes, I know for a fact everyone did too. Especially Rey'"When Kriya didn't reply after a while, Vishakha added. "Why are you doing this Kriya? He knows the truth now. You can contact him! You email me. Why not him? Why not everyone? You don't have to cut ties from everyone. Talk to them! They miss you a lot and I know you do too."
"I know' but I just can't' the more I talk to you, the more I miss you guys' the more I want to come there. But I know I can't' If I talk to them as well, it'll be unbearable for me. I won't be able to."
"Acha baba' but at least talk with Rey once?"
"No' I've promised mom to never contact him."
"What about Swayam huh? You guys have always had each other's back. Let him help you now."Kriya again didn't reply. "Acha thik hai. But think about it. So tell me, what have you been up to?"
"Nothing much but at the same time, everything! College goes on so fast and before I realize it, the day is over!"
"Yea' I know what you mean. Today we had auditions for the 6th dancer' sab ke sab third class hai yaar. Koi bhi acha nai hai. We're going to try and see if Sharon will join our team. Agar nai, toh Foot Loose toh gaya hi samjho. Tumhare universe ji ko bolo koi jaadu kar de."
Kriya laughed. "Vish, tum bhi na' Don't worry. Koi na koi toh meri jagah lene wala mil hi jayega. Aur haan, before you go on to scolding me about thinking on replacement and all, just promise me one thing? No matter what happens, you guys have to win the Foot Loose'"
"LOL fine. For once, I won't get mad at you. And chill' you've given a huge sacrifice for our and the teams sake. Under no circumstance will I let that go to waste. Foot Loose toh hum jeet ke rahenge. After all, dosti ki hai. Nibhani toh padega. Aur kisi aur ke saath dushmani bhi' use bhi pura karna hai."
"Who? Shivam?"
"Who else is so fortunate to have all of our animosity?!"
"Haha, just make sure to keep it in control. Especially Sharon ko, pata nai kya kar baithe."
"Arey way, bohut chinta ho rahi hai Sharon ki?!" Kriya thought about the sentence. She knew Vishakha had said it as a tease. But in reality, after knowing certain things, concern towards Sharon just came naturally.
"Of course. Kuch ho gaya toh apne Majnu saab ka bhi toh khayal rakha padega na."
Vishakha laughed at her statement. Kriya's reply came again. "Acha chal, kal baat karte hai. Abhi sone jaa rahi hu."
"Okay! Good night." Kriya signed off after replying good night and went to sleep with a content smile on her face. Simply talking to Vishakha and getting to know about everyone made her feel better. She knew it wasn't fair to others that she wouldn't talk to them. But she needed to stay strong and if she talked to others, it was impossible.
Next morning, an alarm woke Kriya up. She was confused, "Alarm kisne lagaya? Mamma?" She called out but reply didn't come. She pushed the covers aside to look around the house. She told herself, "Lagta hai Mumbai ke liye chali bhi gayi' Kriya beta, thoda aur aaram kar le. Koi tok ne wala toh hai nai!" She went back to her room to go back to bed when she found a note right by the alarm clock.
She opened it to see it was from Smriti. "Alarm clock maine hi lagaya tha. Warna tum toh uthne se rahi. There was only early morning ticket and the next one would have been too late. So I left. What you said last night' Beta, do everything you want to for me; but not at the cost of your love. Kriya, if one thing I do know, is how hard it is to live without the person you love. I've lived that kind of life and I do not wish that for you. I wanted you to protect from pain. And keeping you away from Rey is not the way. It will take me time to completely accept Rey. But I promise, I am trying. Bahar kitchen counter par tumahre liye tickets rakhi hai. Jao apne saher' Apne Mumbai' Jahan tumhari sabhi dosto hai. Go and get your dreams beta. Tickets maine karwa di hai. The rest is up to you. Haan, Naina ke liye bhi karwai hai. I've talked to her parents. Voh tumhe airport pe hi milegi with her mom. Tum dono dhyan se aa jaana. Mai tumhe meeting ke kaaran mil nai paungi. But yes, go to our house in Mumbai. Meeting ke baad I'm coming back to Dehradhun. Packing karni hai na. You belong in Mumbai Kriya. Aur Jahan tum, vahan, main. Right? Aur haan, thank you baad mai keh dena. Abhi jaldi se taiyar ho jao warna plane miss kar dogi. Love, mumma."
Kriya seriously had no words in her mouth. She was completely taken aback with shock. Moment later, a huge grin came over her face and she ran out to the kitchen counter to see the envelope which had the tickets and her passport along with keys to their apartment in Mumbai. She screamed in joy! She could not believe it! She was going back to Mumbai!
What happens next? I-Am-Not-Revealing! Guess!

Daytrip to the east coast
March - May
Duration: 10 - 11 hours
Min. 1 fullpaying participants
Max 10 participants
NOK 2990,- driver
NOK 1500,- passenger
We meet you at our boat house in the sea area, where you will get your clothes and briefing before the trip starts.The route will depend on the weather and driving conditions. We drive east through the impressive valley Adventdalen towards Sassendalen, which is yet another huge valley cutting from east to west. We turn east through the magnificent Sassendalen and decide which route to take east depending on the conditions. Normally we cross Nordmannsfonna and drive down the glacier Usherbreen to Mohnbukta. Now we find ourselves on the deserted east coast where we will see powerful icebergs, glacier fronts and the remains of past polar-bear hunting! If we are lucky, we may even get a glimpse of the polar bear – the King of the Artic. We make several stops along the way and enjoy a hot lunch when we arrive
Depending on time, weather and driving conditions, we will take a different route back to Longyearbyen. If there is time, we will also make a stop at our kennel about 12 kilometres outside Longyearbyen. Here you will get the opportunity to meet our powerful and exceptionally kind polar dogs. From here it is only about 15 minutes until we can stop and turn off the snowmobiles after an eventful and unforgettable day

Down-home girl and apparent NKOTB fan Jessica Simpson launched her newest fashion venture, a line of denim set to hit 1,000 stores next month.
WWD places the pop tart turned megabrand in the billion-dollar range for her shoes-and-accessories empire licenced by the Camuto Group, and her latest deal with Jones Apparel Group on a collection of denim marks Simpson's 19th licensing deal. Cumulatively, Simpson has successfully parlayed her own country-casual bombshell image (a given for denim, in particular), on shoes, handbags, fragrance, accessories, swimwear, luggage, outerwear, dresses, intimates and more.
At first glance, her new demin line doesn't look half bad, and if it follows in the footsteps of her surprisingly chic shoes (not to sound cruel, but we are truly surprised), should produce some nicely affordable hits.
Simpson has had a rocky history with her jeans, having been sued over a failed licensing deal over promotional and contractual obligations between Camuto and Tarrant Apparel Group, and of course, being unfairly and unflatteringly snapped in those infamous "mom jeans" -- hopefully this new line marks an uptick in the denim department for Ms. Simpson.

It's not everyday you find yourself inside a sprawling 600-foot glass and wood façade at the Art Gallery of Ontario, before the doors open to the public. Sure, it was early, but with the help of aromatic cappuccinos being served, as well as the predictably early April showers pitter-pattering onto the glass windows of Galleria Italia, we were alert and ready to start our morning in a pretty singular setting with some stellar guests.
Discussion ensued, and no question was off the (breakfast) table. But the query with the most thoughtful answer was, rightfully so, about art:
What makes good art? "Art is more so for oneself. I'm sure none of the pieces surrounding us right now had the intention of being showcased at the AGO – all of these pieces were probably initially created as a feeling." —Jason Field, CEO of Brainstation.
After a couple rounds of Real Talk – with lengthy discussions about bringing back the homemade tracksuit segueing into whether or not social media is bringing us together or pushing us further apart – we capped off the morning with a private tour of the AGO's SuperReal exhibit with assistant curator of modern art Kenneth Brummel. We walked through Claes Oldenburg's astounding Floor Burger, Andy Warhol's Elvis I and II and Robert Rauschenberg's Story, just to name a few. Guests left with satiated stomachs and a deeper knowledge of pop culture. All before lunch time.

Singapore (AFP) Oct 16, 2006
Singapore on Monday maintained a health advisory issued over the weekend as the pollution index soared above the unhealthy range due to smoke from forest fires in neighbouring Indonesia. A foggy haze that shrouded the city-state earlier in the day worsened in the afternoon, and the National Environment Agency put the pollution index at 127 as of 3:00 pm (0700 GMT) -- well above the 100 health threshold.
"Persons with existing heart or respiratory ailments should reduce physical exertion and outdoor activity. The general population should reduce vigorous outdoor activity," the National Environment Agency said on its website.
An index of between 101-200 is considered "unhealthy" and can cause mild aggravation of symptoms among those with chronic heart or lung aliments.
It can also cause eye irritation, sneezing or coughing among some unhealthy individuals, the environment agency said.
The smog carries with it a burning smell and has reduced visibility.
Indonesia's annual burn-off to clear land for agriculture causes a haze that typically smothers parts of Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
Indonesia itself is also affected and some residents in haze-smothered areas have resorted to praying for rain to alleviate the smog.
Its government has outlawed land-clearing by fire but weak enforcement means the ban is largely ignored.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Thursday apologised to Singapore and Malaysia over the haze.
A Singapore professor told AFP on Friday the haze from Indonesia could have caused about 50 million dollars in losses to the island-state's economy over the month.
Euston Quah, head of economics at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University, said his estimate was extrapolated from a detailed study he made in 1997, when the annual haze problem was at its worst.
Environment ministers from Singapore, Malaysia and other regional nations affected by the haze met Friday in Indonesia to search for ways of combating the annual problem, which disrupts travel and leads to health problems.
The ministers told their host promptly to ratify a regional treaty on preventing cross-border haze pollution.

Pressure Intensifies On Indonesia As Meeting Sought Over Haze
Singapore (AFP) Oct 11, 2006
Pressure intensified on Indonesia to take action on the smoke haze blighting neighbouring countries as Singapore invited regional ministers to discuss "urgent" measures to tackle the problem on Friday. Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has written Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to "express his disappointment" over the recurring problem, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Wednesday.

Scotland must choose between full independence and successfully keeping the pound, the governor of the Bank of England said on Wednesday.
Mark Carney warned that a currency union could only work when a state cedes some of its "national sovereignty".
He also suggested that to make a currency union work, Scotland would have to hand over more fiscal powers than eurozone countries currently do.
The SNP has insisted that an independent Scotland would retain "full autonomy" to use its fiscal powers – commonly understood to mean tax and spending.
Unionists said Mr Carney's "devastating" intervention had left Alex Salmond's plans to share the pound with the remainder of the UK in the event of a Yes vote this September "in tatters".
George Osborne, has already warned that any such arrangement is "unlikely".
Mr Carney used his speech in Edinburgh on Wednesday – his first public intervention in the referendum debate – to stress that any currency negotiations were a matter for London and Edinburgh.
But he warned that the similarity between Scotland's economy and the rest of the UK was not enough to ensure that sharing the pound would be a success.
Citing the eurozone, he said a "durable, successful currency union requires some ceding of national sovereignty".
Alistair Darling, the leader of the pro-Union Better Together Campaign, warned "the whole point of independence is to break the fiscal and political union that makes monetary union possible".
But John Swinney, the Scottish finance minister, said the governor's comments did not negate the SNP's plans. "Ultimately, as Mr Carney makes clear, a sterling area is a matter for the two governments to agree," he added.

I was disappointed with this one – probably because I had it at the same time as the Cantaloupe and Cream which just blew me away. It was good, but not exceptional and that was likely because I'm not so into cilantro.
Butiki has so many great teas that it's better for my wallet this way.
I hope whatshesaid enjoys the rest of this!

THE MOTTLED GENE ( mo )
The mottled gene ( mo ) was discovered in 1930 by Amundson and Milne and is one of the most controversial and least documented of all the genes.
In Orpingtons mo is partly responsible for the Mille Fleur pattern of the Jubilee Orpington and the normal mottled variety but although both these colours are influenced by mo they have a different mix of other genes that cause the two separate distinct feather patterns. This gene is varied in its expression from indistinct irregular mottles to a uniform even distribution and the desired even mottling is only obtainable by years of careful selection.
The mottling gene does not cause a white splodge on top of the normal feather colour but in fact when the feather is being grown causes a lack of pigment on the first tip of the feather , followed by a black band and then the rest of the feather takes on the bird's particular ground colour
This is another recessive gene so in theory for a bird to express mottles both parents would have to carry the gene. However in practice a degree of mottling can appear on a bird that only had one mottled parent. I have noticed that my split mottled birds often have white wing tips and the odd faint mottles.
Mottled Orpingtons are a colour for the patient breeder and aiming for perfection is a slow and long process. Mottled Orpington growers can show little expression of the mottles and only after the first moult into their adult plumage do they show their full colour. But over the years after each consecutive moult the mottling can increase to show a greater expanse of white and thus causing a blurred and muddled appearance. Also the mottled expression on an individual feather can change so if a perfectly mottled feather was plucked on its regrowth it may either return the same, increase the mottling or show no signs of mottling.
Because the mottling gene causes a lack of pigment and is not a colour changing gene it can be introduced onto any solid colour but remembering that if any colour diluting genes are also present that the black band will either change colour or become less visible.
For example my Large Fowl Black Mottled Orpingtons still have a pigment free tip to the feather followed by a Black band and then followed by a Black ground colour to the rest of the feather.
But because the band and the ground colour are the same it gives the appearance of just a white tipped feather but if you inspect the feather closely the black band is a dull black and the rest of the feather is a brighter black with the desired Orpington Green sheen.
So if I chose to breed Mottled Blue Orpingtons then the action of the Blue gene would cause both the Black band and the ground colour of the feather to become Blue thus causing the appearance of a white tipped Blue feather.
Because the Mille Fleur pattern of the Jubilee Orpington contains a different mix of genes to the standard mottled variety it if possible to change just the colour of the black band.
Please note : I am not breeding Jubilee Bantam Orpingtons during 2015

When Earth's Last Picture is Painted
Poem: "When Earth's Last Picture is Painted," by Rudyard Kipling from The Seven Seas.
It's the birthday in France, 1802, of ALEXANDRE DUMAS (dew-MAH) who first made his reputation as a playwright and then came out with two popular novels: The Three Musketeers in 1844, and a year later, The Count of Monte Cristo.
Writer ROBERT GRAVES was born on this day in London, 1895. He fought in W.W.I and was severely wounded in the trenches. He became famous for his 1929 war memoir Good-Bye to All That.
It was on this day in 1897 that a group of 23 bicycle riders the ARMY'S 25th INFANTRY rode into St. Louis having pedaled 1,900 miles from Missoula, Montana. The bicycle and pneumatic tires were fairly recent inventions, and the army wanted to see if bikes would be better than horses for moving soldiers or messages in the field. So, the 25th Infantry was ordered to conduct a field test. The riders started out from Missoula on June 14th and averaged 50-60 miles a day over dirt roads, the Continental Divide, the Sand Hills of Nebraska, a blizzard in the mountains and 110-degree days out on the Plains; each rider carrying a tent, a set of underwear, two pairs of socks, a handkerchief, and toothbrush in a luggage carrier in front of the handlebars; with bacon, bread, canned beef, baked beans, coffee, and sugar in leather cases attached to the bike frame about 60 pounds of gear in all. Of the 1,900 miles, the men had to push their bikes about 400 miles. But they all made it and on July 24 crowds greeted them as they made their way into St. Louis. The 25th Infantry was an all-black unit.

US retailer Wal-Mart has stopped selling Everex's Linux-based PC in store due to weak demand for the open-source software-based system from consumers.
Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the US, agreed last year to carry the product as a test and stocked it in about 600 stores where it saw high interest in computers. However, the customer response to the $199 (£100) Everex TC2502 Green gPC desktop was not as high as expected, said Melissa O'Brien, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman.
"The idea was to see if shoppers in our stores would respond as they do online to the offering. The answer is that customers did not respond to expectations, so we decided not to restock," O'Brien said.
"We are America's retailer, so the decisions on what we offer in our stores is based on how our customers vote with their purchases," she said.
She played down the decision, which has been seen as a setback for Linux on the desktop. "We did not 'pull' Linux from our shelves or make any kind of 'announcement' on this," she said.
Wal-Mart has had little success in the past selling low-cost Linux PCs. It has also offered Linux-based Lindows and Microtel PCs, but the retailer eventually removed those too from its shelves.
Wal-Mart will continue to sell the Everex PC through its website, where it is able to sell products that appeal to "a more targeted consumer," O'Brien said. Wal-Mart also sells Everex's Linux-based Cloudbook laptop online.
The gPC2 desktop includes a Via Technologies C7-D processor running at 1.5GHz, 512MB of RAM and an 80GB hard drive. It does not include a monitor.
Everex said the gPC desktops had mostly sold out from Wal-Mart's shelves, with only a few units left.
"The sell-through was brisk, I am surprised at the decision," said Paul Kim, director of marketing at Everex.
Wal-Mart's decision to sell Everex laptops and desktops online should offset any drop in sales, he said. Everex is also continually adding distributors to sell its products, he said.
