http://vimeo.com/34325967 after watching this video.. inspired me to work with higher hydration confidently.
my first 85% hydration loaves...
i used grape yeast water after 4 days of fermentation.
used Stone-Buhr Whole Wheat Flour and Dove's malthouse mixed grain flour
nice sour with hint of sweetness.. airy texture made it so crunchy. light yet hearty.
made a simple sandwich ... just lovely
baked this yesterday... yes, it is for my friends. this time they dropped by my place when i was baking. they were delivering an early birthday cake for me!!
and i treated them a freshly baked bread from the oven!
home baked blueberry cheesecake :) what a surprised!
Saffron "red gold". Saffron threads may also be toasted. Once toasted, these threads can be ground into a powder.
made smaller loaves.. great for giveaways
had so much fun, drinking dark German beer, long black coffee.. eating cake and fresh hot crunchy and soft bread.
it was a beautiful afternoon with friends.
hello..firstly i like to apologized for my absence, i have been busy. but still managed to keep up my sourdough baking just had no time to post it. let me share a new adventure i did recently. baking with the infamous king of fruits "durian". i grew up eating lots of this, thanks to my dad. he used to buy in huge baskets. i even learnt to open the fruit.
the flesh emits a distinctive odour that is strong and penetrating even when the husk is intact. Some people regard the durian as pleasantly fragrant; others find the aroma overpowering and revolting.
due to the high sugar content of the fruits .. the crust was beautifully caramelized. not to mentioned the fragrant engulfed my whole house!
oh yeah.. i was really busy!
the close up crumb
i chose to roast the pumpkin instead of boiling or steaming to produce a dry form of puree. blend 100 gram with 200 gram of durian flesh.
working with 250 gram of spelt sourdough stater at 100% hydration against 1kg of flour (20% white spelt, 40% high protein bread flour and 30% all purpose 5%barley flour 5%potato flour) at 75% hydration. added 80 gram Japanese toasted black sesame seeds for crunch and contrast of color. 15 gram of salt (always hold back at least 50 gram of water to mix in with the salt)
procedure is the same as all my sourdough bread. what i experience with this dough it took longer proofing time. instead of 2 hours it needed 3 1/2 hours.
had it toasted with Gorgonzola and avocado with home made balsamic organic strawberry jam. it's addictive. a good sour and ends with a beautiful sweet that lingers in the mouth.
i enjoyed this bake very very much...
been craving to bake one with saffron .. used truffle salt and Pecorino al Tartufo with this bake. it's my close friend's birthday today, baked this classy bread for my classy friend :)
added 25% oak smoked flour to HP and AP flour. 75% hydration and used a white spelt starter.
pretty golden yellow crust
gave him a batard wrapped with gold silk ribbon in a brown bag :)
for this boule i snuck in some raisins for another special friend :)
the rest i will slice tomorrow...
here are the crumb pictures.. feedback from the friends excellent! :)
this was taken under the morning sunlight..
this is with little black raisins
my classy friend had it for breakfast with smoked salmon and brie :)
my friend travels quite a bit in her work. Presently she is in China, Kunshan. she lived in San Francisco before, and worked with a German company. That was how she pick up to love sourdough bread especially rye. she bought me Roggen Mehl1150 flour recently when she was in Taiwan. Yes, i sent her hunting for flour wherever her work require her to be!!
this bake is for her.
checked out in the internet for further understanding of this flour...
Rye Flour (Roggen Mehl 1150)Germany's Roggen Mehl Number 1150 is equivalent to a medium to dark rye flour. Rye flour is darker than flours made from wheat and it has higher amounts of vitamins B and E.Rye flour is used most often for breads and bread rolls. It imparts a slightly sour flavor to breads. Breads made with rye flour have a longer shelf life and taste fresh longer than breads made with wheat flours. It is also often combined with other flours because of its low gluten content.
i added the balance of Quinoa i did for the last bake and 50g of toasted flax seeds. used 25% of the flour for this bread. little touch of Asian with 100g unsulphured dry longan :) at 75% hydration
she sent me a picture.. she indulged it with greens, smoked ham, cube of vintage cheddar, drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a spread of raspberry de pomegranate :)
taste.. good sour and a hint of fragrant sweetness from the longan.
as you know i love blue :) to obtain a significant natural blue is quite impossible. found a method to dehydrate the blue pea flower and grind them to powder. check this out http://www.wikihow.com/Dry-Rose-Petals
did not have enough fresh blue pea flower!!!
this is a Toasted flax seeds Quinoa Spelt sourdough bread..
happy baking
here you go.. higher % of oak smoked flour loaves.. definitely taste the sweet oak flavor :) nice
no sprouts added try to keep it as simple to flavor the wonderful oak smoked flavor !!
Ian.. a must to try!!
sprouted wheat, oak smoked flour and mascarpone sourdough with longan and walnut
super soft crumb .. with the addition of mascarpone. 15% of Bacheldre Watermill's Oak Smoked Malted Blend Strong Flour.. layering of flavors. not as sour as with creme fraiche. (retarded this for 18 hours) as i expected mascarpone will not give much sour but more smooth buttery crumb. will update taste test the next day. will the sour build???
quite happy with this .. however, my mind was distracted with this bake cos i was babysitting my 2 year old nephew.
let me share my lunch ..
today i toasted a slice of the Cherry YW Sprouted winter wheat SD with roasted balsamic strawberries, sesame seeds , purple carrot and black mission fig bread. i got a whiff of balsamic tang as i opened my mini toaster .. caused my mouth to water! yum! i thought with a smile :)
i had it for lunch.. like so
Topped with procioutto and grilled flat white peaches
Dressed with cold pressed coconut oil and molasses . More topping .. Shaved Pecorino romano, avocado n toasted sesame seeds and a dash of good black pepper! ( wanted to have with toasted walnuts but i ran out )
Bon appetit :)
if you love balsamic, this is a winner
Cherry YW Sprouted winter wheat SD with roasted balsamic strawberries, Japanese toasted sesame seeds , purple carrot and black mission fig :)
exchanged a loaf of my sourdough bread with the organic shop for a bunch of organic cherries ( which were considered not in good condition) i tot i could cut them up and make cherry YW. it turned out very bubbly :) this cherry thing had been stuck on my head for sometime since Ian's beautiful very very cherry bread post.
i want to impart more red into the dough.. had some strawberries in the fridge. i did a balsamic strawberry jam before for my very bitter (80% cocoa) chocolate layered cake sometime ago. why not.. cut up the strawberries sprinkled some sugar and 2 tblsp of aged balsamic, popped it into my mini oven for 10mins at 150C. came out nice, gooey and caramelized. scraped into my mini moulinex blender gave it a few pause. tasted yummy.
and all that went into the dough plus a small grated purple carrot, a cup of toasted sesame seeds ..(after autolysed)
added soaked figs with amaretto when i did my shaping.
this is the sprouted SD bread formula that i tweak it a little http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/33618/sprouted-rye-sourdough-toasted-flax-seeds
.. it was a very cheerie cherry bake, thanks Ian :)

Actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena didn't know their research for an upcoming police drama would lead them to the middle of a real crime!
The actors were on a ride-along with their police escort, Sgt. Tammy Bowen, in South Los Angeles, where they witnessed the aftermath of what Los Angeles police characterize as a gang shooting.
Watch the footage!
The victim in the case, who was shot in the lip and arm, was treated for non-life-threatening injuries, and no suspects have been identified.
Gyllenhaal and Pena were researching roles for the upcoming movie "End of Watch," about two longtime LAPD partners.

When I read the article "Anti-gay ID badges at California school spark anger," my first reaction was: maybe I don't understand hate speech.
Here's a quick summary of the controversy:
A handful of students wearing anti-gay symbols on their school ID badges at Shadow Hills High School in Indio have sparked anger and worry among students and staff on campus, but administrators said they cannot ask the students to remove the symbols in the interest of protecting freedom of speech rights.
Hate speech is broadly understood to comprise any verbal, written, pictorial or gestured communication that "may incite violence or prejudicial action against or by a protected individual or group, or because it disparages or intimidates a protected individual or group."
Legally, hate speech has to clear a few more hurdles. According to past Supreme Court rulings on the hate speech exception to protected free speech:
There are certain well-defined and limited classes of speech, the prevention and punishment of which have never been thought to raise a Constitutional problem. These include the lewd and obscene, the profane, the libelous and the insulting or 'fighting' words – those which by their very utterances inflict injury or tend to incite an immediate breach of the peace (Justice Frank Murphy, 1942).
The reason why fighting words are categorically excluded from the protection of the First Amendment is not that their content communicates any particular idea, but that their content embodies a particularly intolerable (and socially unnecessary) mode of expressing whatever idea the speaker wishes to convey (Justice Antonin Scalia, 1992).
So while I no longer think the issue is my understanding of hate speech, I remain confused. Here are the badges some Shadow Hills students have begun wearing:
And I ask: how is this not hate speech, by both lay and legal definitions? What better "fighting" word than the no symbol, which at its most basic means: you are not permitted, and can also mean: I am against you. Whether the statement is that gay sexuality and people do not exist, or that gay people and sexuality are wrong, these badges "by their very utterances inflict injury" in the form of dismissal and condemnation of fellow human beings, on the basis of identity.
A simple thought exercise might help illuminate the issue: what if the badges disallowed or disavowed whiteness? women? physical disability? heterosexuality? Christianity? Old people? What does it mean to say "no" to or "I am anti" a group of people? It means ceasing to see them as people, and objectifying them as a problem or issue to be corrected or erased. And historically, we know where that has led.

We're coming to the end of week 5; already I can identify that my work has taken a new direction. I've realized that purely materials is what evokes and challenges me to produce work. My studio space has transformed into a mass of found or re-usable objects and materials that inspire me to experiment with form and process. The idea of impermanence in my work interests me, this idea came from the work of Eva Hesse; certain materials can not stand time and will deteriorate quickly. Is this on purpose, a certain choice of materials? Can this become the main methodology behind my practice? Do I want to produce works that can only last a specific amount of time? The next few weeks are important for development with form and the use of jelly and bread dough.
Repetition is an element that creeps into my work; repeating an object is an area of interest that has frequently been involved in my practice and thought process. When I have an idea and sketch, I always visualize multiples or a mass of materials or objects. Using repetitive forms in my work evokes the idea of how the viewer can perceive them; however they hold a sense of individuality.
We had an interesting seminar with tutors Juditt and Mark about artist statements with a series of written exercises relating to our practice, free writing and analysing other artist's statements. It's sometimes difficult to express your work in a written document/statement that will engage the viewer and intice them to read your statement. How do you want the audience to understand your work? An artist statement is the core to who I am as an artist. What is my practice? What is the process? What are the materials? What engages my work, my concepts?
After sitting and writing key points that continue to reoccur in my work I've realized that my work generates physicality and interaction with materials. Engaging with a range of materials, the rawness and potential that I can achieve to manipulate my work. Recently my main focus has been working with jelly and other organic elements, rubber, hessian, foam, wax and bread dough. These materials are a shift in transition from using traditionally associated sculpture materials of plaster and concrete that are hard, non-malleable and unapproachable in my previous work.
Claes Oldenburg, Rachel Whiteread, Eva Hesse, Richard Serra, Marcel Duchamp, Rebecca Horn, a few artists that currently engage and impact on my practice.

Penru-The Hibernation Roost of Bats in Countryside
—– By Shri Gijum Tali
District information & Public Relation officer
West Siang Dist, Aalo.
Aalo, Sept 12: Penru, a hibernation roost for bats near Larmuk Potom village, 9 km away from Darak Circle in West Siang district is one of the largest and deepest homes of the flying mammals. Though such roost are located in many places like Poyom, Kunuyami and other villages but the roost caved deep in the rocky hillock near Larmuk Potom is famous through the ages to witness fluttering of bats through the evening sky in such a huge quantity even obstructing passersby and dropping into houses in plenty in those olden days. These bats were seen at their playful best in large number just after the sunset from the month of March to October. It was total hibernation in winter as few bats were seen flying around perhaps for food, drink and rehydrate using a combination of echolocation and receptor to navigate the winter nights and spine chilling cold wave that use to sweep that particular location. Though the population of the bats has dwindled drastically over the years, Penru at Larmuk Potom still shelters the black species of these flying mammals today also.
The recent visit to Penru by a team dragged our memories to drift down the memory lanes, a nostalgic childhood reminiscences of playing with bats with bamboo sticks and many bats were smashed down, pocketed and brought home, interestingly measuring our calibre on the basis of number bats killed by each child. Our infancies knew nothing about love for animals and birds and just derived pleasantest things playing with the lives of playful bats. These flying mammals use too loom large after sunset of a bright sunshine when flying insects from the holes of the soil use to come out in large quantities after preceded by rainfall for few days. The evening sky was crowded with flies and bats and that was the moment the children of our age groups used to venture out as third party to interfere in the predator-prey war.
Sadly, rare species and rich varieties of mammals, animals, birds and fishes have diminished from our ecosystem to dislodge the balance of nature. Deforestation in large scale in the name jhum cultivation for sustenance, logs for infrastructure and fire woods for domestic uses has destroyed the natural homes of the animals and birds. But then we still have places of interests associated with tribal might and mythologies nestled in the bosom of nature in utter solitude. We are unique in the sense that we still delve into our rich culture, folklores, folktales, myth and mythologies and other age old values through orally transmitted literature handed down to us by our forefathers from generation to generation in the absence of written literature.
What we want today is ecotourism to unearth such places of interests and open up trekking tracks to promote adventure tourism in the countryside too. We had enough of wayside amenities in the name of promoting tourism to present a sad picture as many of such assets are kept unused, turning into a places of nuisances and made to rot barring few Resorts like PP Tourist Guest House on the left bank of Yomgo River at Aalo and other such assets in other districts. The tiny Darak Circle offers one such potential Walking Track touching Benji Liine, proposed Yordi Rube Subse Wild Life Sanctuary, Penru, Bebe Liine and as we transcend down it is two hours drive to visit Topo Gone and Sirurijo under Yomcha Subdivision. It will be best of interest if Department of Tourism is armed with such imaginative blueprint to explore the places of tourist interest in the countryside too.
The ambitious schemes placed by Aalo Forest Division at Bahadur Hill and right Banks of Yomgo at Paya village is an encouraging trend towards promotion of ecotourism to open up adventurous tourism avenues for domestic and foreign tourists who love to trek living with beauties of nature. Today health conscious people want open spaces to trek and fresh air to breathe than to walk in the busy townships streets only to gather dust and smokes.

3 Plumbing Repairs Anyone Can Do
1. Clean a clogged faucet aerator
If the flow from your faucet is weak, unscrew the aerator and clean the little plastic parts inside. Scrub off gunk with a toothbrush or scrape with a knife. Here's the key to success: As you disassemble the aerator, lay out the parts in order so you know exactly how to reassemble them.
If a valve under your sink is dripping, you probably don't need to replace it. Instead, just tighten the packing a little. (If you tighten it too much, the valve stem won't turn.) To prevent loosening the whole valve as you tighten the nut, hold on to the valve body with a second wrench.
If the drainpipes under your sink leak, take a look at their alignment. If the pipes join up straight, simply tighten the slip nuts. If they're crooked, loosen the nuts, straighten out the assembly and retighten. If your pipes are plastic rather than metal, hand-tighten first. Then check for leaks and use pliers if necessary.

Attention, anyone who has a media contact to get some attention on this story. If you don't, please just click on her blog post and REBLOG. Thank you!
After three years of filling out loan modification paperwork and sending it in, I was informed via a phone call today from Bank of America that my loan modification was declined on 2/1/13 as I didn't submit all the documents. Bank of America continues to state this as a reason for declining my loan modifications, but I give them everything they ask for and then have my HUD counselor review it for completeness. Anyone who knows me knows how organized and detail-oriented I am. I have a Ph.D. from Columbia University and that required an incredible attention to detail. I know I submitted all the documents required as I carefully reviewed every request and my HUD counselor, Michael Haynes, of the Neighborhood Housing Services of New Haven reviewed them.
This seems to me to be a bogus excuse. I think they just don't want to do a loan modification. Although why BOA would want one more foreclosure in Bridgeport, Connecticut is beyond me. They aren't going to sell the home for more money than I would pay for it. I bought this home at the peak of the market in 2005 and paid $400,000. It is now worth no more than $250,000. I'm earning a good income now, my income tanked when my husband became ill with pancreatic cancer three years ago and our expenses have been high due to the cost of medications, travel, and treatment. We also lost his income when he became ill. We were both in real estate and the market downturn left us with less money at a time when we needed more.
As you know, my husband has Stage IV Pancreatic Cancer and he is getting hospice care in our home. I haven't told him yet that our home is going into foreclosure. BOA says to consider a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure or a short sale and just leave, but my husband wants to spend his final days in his own home. Is that too much to ask of a big heartless organization? Probably. But don't you wonder where all that Mortgage Settlement money went to? Weren't the lenders supposed to be doing more loan modifications instead of allowing homes to go into foreclosure? What the heck are they doing with that money anyways???
It makes no sense at all to me, but my hope is that if you would reblog this post that BOA will notice it on social media, reconsider their decision to foreclose, so that I don't have to tell my husband that our home is going into foreclosure. He's been going through a tough time over the past few weeks and my fear is this will cause him enough stress to push him over the edge emotionally and physically.
I trust in the power of AR to get the word out and in your love and kindness to support me at this time as I try to be strong for my husband. Thank you.

The British public is "deeply disturbed" by the suffering of the people of Gaza, Philip Hammond, the Foreign Secretary, has said. His comments are the Government's strongest condemnation so far of the crisis in the Middle East. In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Hammond said he had received thousands of emails, from a "broad swathe" of people, expressing horror at the impact of Israel's bombardment on Gaza's civilian population. The Government agreed that the situation in Gaza had become "simply intolerable", he said. Full story >>
If you condemn something or someone, you say publicly that you think someone or something is bad or wrong. • The minister condemned the proposal as 'very damaging'.

The move is part of a Europe-wide ban after the EU's European Commission reclassified the oils—derived from cannabis and hemp—as 'novel foods.' Acting on the ruling, the UK's Food Standards Agency (FSA) is instructing local trading standards officers to seize supplies being sold in stores. An FSA spokesman said it was "putting in transition measures to aid enforcement."
Under EU rules, a 'novel food' is any food that was not being widely consumed before 1997. Chia seeds, krill oil and vitamin K have also been hit by the same ruling, which could see these products disappear from the shelves.
The ban could last for 18 months as the FSA determines whether CBD (cannabidiol) oils—also known as medical marijuana—are safe and effective. However, the World Health Organization has already declared CBD oils are well tolerated and safe, and the US's National Institutes of Health has reported an "explosion of research" into CBD oil, demonstrating in animal tests and human studies that it can help with a range of health problems, from epilepsy, pain and inflammation.
Sales of CBD oil products have exploded in the past 18 months as people have found they help ease pain and inflammation, and this has hit sales of painkilling drugs.
CBD oil contains just 0.2 per cent of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the element that makes the user 'high'.

We would like to offer you to manage your ad campaigns for free. However we require a proof of contract and the conditions. According to those we offer you a reduction of our packages.

Yes you do. Since our smart technology process you can always see where we are right now. You can see how many tenants are interested and see their profiles. You get like an ranking and a tenant score which helps you to compare efficient.
How many apartment viewing are necessary?
The average is three. In every appointment we are showing at the max. 10 potential tenants the property. Our experience is showing that three viewing appointments are enough to rent out a estate successfully. This is based on a high qualified and carefully selection of the tenants.

To start straight with the marketing of your property we would need the description of your place, photos, the layout and of course how much you are asking for rent on a monthly bases.
What happens if nobody has interest in my property?
Should it take longer than usual to rent out your property we will double check your ad. After three weeks we will analyse it and we look together for a different strategy to increase the interest and let it as soon as possible.
Yes indeed. If you going for the WunderPower Advertising and you don't get 20 requests in 20 weeks, you will get your money back. That happens as well if you book the viewing service and we don't show anybody your flat.
Do you have a success guarantee?
No we don't. Sure that is not what you would like to hear at this point. But the most properties we renting out in a few weeks with a high success. Our aim is it to market your property efficient and successful. Unfortunately there are also estates, where the process takes much more time. This causes quite high expenses. If we would guarantee you a success in renting out your apartment, we have also to calculate the risk of places which are difficult to market as well. That causes a higher price.
How long my ad stays online?
Your ad will definitely stay on the market place till you receive 20 requests. On our website you can deactivate your listing by yourself.
Who are the WunderAgents in different towns?
We are working in all of Germany with qualified staff with a high knowledge of the real estate market.

President Obama has described the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) as the first 21st century trade agreement. These negotiations are particularly important to advocates of an open Internet. The U.S. wants its TPP negotiating partners to accept language designed to protect intellectual property online, to encourage regulatory transparency for Internet governance, and to ensure open access to digital goods, applications, consumers, devices, networks, and information. Other governments have a different vision. Currently, although several non-profit U.S. bodies oversee technical specifications and the domain name system, international multi-stakeholder groups collaborate to maintain the free flow of information on the web. However, Russia, China and several other nations want to use "the monitoring and supervisory capabilities of the International Telecommunication Union," a U.N. agency, to regulate the Internet. They believe the current system is too ad hoc, U.S.-centric, and does not allow national policymakers to restrict the free flow of information when such officials deem it appropriate. This discussion will examine what the U.S. is proposing. Representatives from the private sector, the Internet advocacy community, and the Senate Finance Committee will present their views on the implications of these provisions for the future of the Internet.

Well, two of my patients got cadaver transplants in the last week, and they're doing well. One of my patients who got a transplant three years ago had his Medicare benefits withdrawn, and, as he is undocumented, he is not eligible for MediCal! So his live donor transplant was about to go down the tubes (be rejected) because he couldn't afford to pay for cyclosporine, and because he's undocumented, the pharmaceutical company won't treat him as an indigent worthy of their contribution. Of course they didn't deny him the benefit of their product when the government was paying for the cyclosporine! His brother gave him a kidney.
After 3-4 days without cyclosporine, and without my knowledge of what was going on, I found out and treated him with a steroid pulse and his creatinine went down from 2.7 to 2.2. Good old St. Joseph Hospital (He had his transplant at the proprietary Western Medical Center Santa Ana) agreed to register him in their Clinica La Amistad, and the Sisters, Bless Them!!!, are providing him with drugs and labs. That's where I volunteer, so I'll continue to be seeing him.
As a consequence of this, I've resolved not to see any pharmaceutical rep in the transplant field whose company wont provide their medication for someone in this circumstance. What the hell's the difference between as worthy citizen and a worthy citizen of Mexico. Is immigration enforcement going to be placed in the hands of Sandoz and Merck? Let 'em keep washing our dishes until their kidneys reject, and then rescue them with chronic hemodialysis? That's covered. Transplants aren't after 3 years. Crazy!
Kucinich has this one right. Single Payer Health Care, and that SOB, Bush, just vetoed SCHIP. Merry Christmas Compassionate Conservatives!
Ken, get busy and start turning those stem cells into nephrons.... pass this encouragement on to your advisor! Were it that easy......

Knowledge Sovereignty Among African Cattle Herders
Zeremariam Fre, UCL Press 2018
Beni-Amer cattle owners in the western part of the Horn of Africa are not only masters in cattle breeding, they are also knowledge sovereign, in terms of owning productive genes of cattle and the cognitive knowledge base crucial to sustainable development. The strong bonds between the Beni-Amer, their animals, and their environment constitute the basis of their ways of knowing, and much of their knowledge system is built on experience and embedded in their cultural practices.

Pavitra Rishta 16th January 2014 Written Episode Update
Pavitra Rishta 16th January 2014 Written Episode, Pavitra Rishta 16th January 2014 Written Update
Everyone takes their seat in awards ceremony. Purvi and Arjun-Ovi look at each other's tables. RK comes and sits with Purvi. Ovi and Arjun wonder who is sitting with Purvi. Arjun says he didn't see his face. Ovi tells him it seems like Purvi is moving on in her life. Arjun says, maybe.. that is what I wanted. Ovi says in her mind, Arjun you can't even lie properly.
The host announces nominees. Arjun and RK both are in the nominees. The award goes to RK. Purvi claps for him. Arjun wonders what Purvi is doing with RK. The chief guest gives award trophy to RK. RK gives a small speech and thanks all his staff. He then says he came to awards function for the first time and got award because of his lucky charm. He says he wants to share the award with that special person. He invites Purvi on the stage referring her as his fiance. Arjun is shocked. Purvi goes on the stage. RK shares the trophy with her. Media question RK when he's marring. He doesn't say anything and leaves from there with Purvi.
Purvi is alone. Arjun and Ovi come to her. Arjun congratulates her. Purvi says thank you. Arjun asks her if she's happy. Purvi asks if he's happy. Arjun says yah. RK is talking with some people. He notices Purvi is with Arjun and Ovi. He comes there. Arjun congratulates him for the award and new life. RK thanks him and says nice to meet you. He puts his arm around Purvi's shoulder and they leave from there.
In car, RK asks Purvi if any problem. He got such a big award and she doesn't seem happy. Purvi says everything is fine. RK says she would be more happy if Arjun had got that award. Purvi says it doesn't matter to him. He has won many awards and many times he lost as well. It's just part of the game. RK says you know him very well. Purvi says more than myself. RK asks how much you love him. Purvi says I love him a lot, and you know this very well. She then asks him why he wants to marry her when she loves someone else, is divorcee, and a mother of a girl. RK says you love Arjun a lot, this is the reason I want to marry you. I like your royalty. Purvi is confused. She says I am loyal with Arjun because I love him more than myself. What do you think I will be able to give you same importance? RK says, not at all, but I don't have any regret on my decision. Purvi says in her mind, he's a very strange person.
Other side, Ovi tells Arjun that he's very strange. He lied so much to keep Purvi away from him, and now when she's with someone else, he has problem with that too. She asks him what he wants? Arjun says, I don't want anything, I just want her to move on in her life and stay happy. But why she said yes to marry RK? Ovi says what's problem in RK? He's rich, a successful businessman. What more one would want? Arjun says, I have problem. I can't see her with anyone else. No matter how successful he is, he is not right for Purvi. Ovi asks, then who is right for her? You? You know very well that you're the right person for her. There's still time. Go and tell her everything. Arjun says, I can't tell her. I can just love her, can't show it to her. You know everything, then why are you asking all this? Both Arjun and Purvi are sad.
Ankita is making arrangements for her sleep. Ankita says, I am sleeping on the floor as there is no couch here. Naren asks her to sleep on the other side of bed and sleep at the opposide end of the bed. Ankita looks at him….Manzilein ruswa hain…plays….Ankita caresses him while the song plays. Naren gets a dream. He gets restless. in the dream, he thinks to propose to Ahana and seeks Rushaali's help.
He recalls the time when he was in America. Naren's employees talks about the telecom deal and asks him to come. Naren says I am going to do the deal of my life and I can sacrifice any deal for her. Naren gets restless and wakes up. He shouts Ahana. Ankita holds him and takes care of him. Naren says, Raunaq's room is haunted. We will shift to our room once he marries. Ankita asks him to sleep and says I am with you. Ankita thinks who was Ahana and what happened to her. Her death changed his life. I have to go to the depth of his problem. I didn't see Ahana. But one thing is sure that you are very lucky that sir is loving you even in this condition. Sunanda asks for Shirish and Rushaali. Servant informs her that they don't come so early. Sunanda says, they are not disciplined. Sunanda asks him to bring tea. Ankita brings tea. Sunanda turns and see her. She asks, why did you bring it. Ankita says, I wake up early so I prepared tea. Sunanda says, this is Karmakar's house, here everyone's work is decided. It is servant's work to prepare tea. They get salary for it. If you work then they will become lazy. Ankita says, I likes to do it. Sunanda says it was fine but not anymore. You are this house bahu. You have to behave accordingly. She asks her not to do anything for her. Kinnari comes and greets her. Kinnari says, I shifted everything to my room. Sunanda praises her. Kinnari says, I need your permission. I want to do dance rehearsel in my room for our sangeet function. Sunanda gives her permission.
Kinnari is happy. Sunanda asks her to enjoy every function of her marriage. Kinnari thanks her. Naren asks, who is dancing? Kinnari tells him about her performance with Raunaq on sangeet function. Naren says, we will also perform. Ankita says no. Naren says, it is final. I will dance with Ahana. Ankita says, I can't dance. Naren asks her not to take any tension as he is here. Sunanda taunts her.
Kinnari asks Ankita, are you laughing at me? Ankita says no, I was laughing at Naren's sir talks. Kinnari says, I will show your place and value at the sangeet function.

Observer Performance Methods for Diagnostic Imaging
Foundations, Modeling, and Applications with R-Based Examples
Prices & shipping based on shipping country
Book Description
"This book presents the technology evaluation methodology from the point of view of radiological physics and contrasts the purely physical evaluation of image quality with the determination of diagnostic outcome through the study of observer performance. The reader is taken through the arguments with concrete examples illustrated by code in R, an open source statistical language."
– from the Foreword by Prof. Harold L. Kundel, Department of Radiology, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania
"This book will benefit individuals interested in observer performance evaluations in diagnostic medical imaging and provide additional insights to those that have worked in the field for many years."
– Prof. Gary T. Barnes, Department of Radiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham
This book provides a complete introductory overview of this growing field and its applications in medical imaging, utilizing worked examples and exercises to demystify statistics for readers of any background. It includes a tutorial on the use of the open source, widely used R software, as well as basic statistical background, before addressing localization tasks common in medical imaging. The coverage includes a discussion of study design basics and the use of the techniques in imaging system optimization, memory effects in clinical interpretations, predictions of clinical task performance, alternatives to ROC analysis, and non-medical applications.
Dev P. Chakraborty, PhD, is a clinical diagnostic imaging physicist, certified by the American Board of Radiology in Diagnostic Radiological Physics and Medical Nuclear Physics. He has held faculty positions at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, University of Pennsylvania, and most recently at the University of Pittsburgh.

Dev P. Chakraborty received his PhD in physics in 1977 from the University of Rochester, NY. Following postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Pennsylvania (UPENN) and the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB), since 1982 he has worked as a clinical diagnostic imaging physicist. He is American Board of Radiology certified in Diagnostic Radiological Physics and Medical Nuclear Physics (1987). He has held faculty positions at UAB (1982 - 1988), UPENN (1988-2002) and the University of Pittsburgh (2002-2016). At UPENN he supervised hospital imaging equipment quality control, resident physics instruction and conducted independent research. He is an author on 78 peer-reviewed publications, the majority of which are first-authored. He has received research funding from the Whittaker Foundation, the Office of Women's Health, the FDA, the DOD, and has served as principal investigator on several NIH RO1 grants.
"This book will benefit individuals interested in observer performance evaluations in diagnostic medical imaging and provide additional insights to those that have worked in the field for many years."
— from the Foreword by Gary T. Barnes, Professor Emeritus, Department of Radiology, University of Alabama Birmingham
"As opposed to most of the books with a primary statistical orientation, this book presents the technology evaluation methodology from the point of view of radiological physics and contrasts the purely physical evaluation of image quality with the determination of diagnostic outcome through the study of observer performance. The reader is taken through the arguments with concrete examples illustrated by code in R, an open source statistical language."
— Harold L. Kundel, Emeritus Professor, Department of Radiology, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania

Moving to a new home can be a huge decision, with many factors to consider along the way. The information below highlights things to consider when finding a new home, with the aim of helping you to find the perfect place to settle in Brighton and Hove.
Things to Consider
Before you start looking for a property in the private sector, there are a number of things to consider before you are ready to begin your search. The information on this page will direct you to helpful resources that will guide you through a search for property in the private rented sector.
It is important to consider your budget before searching for a property, not only for rent, but additional expenses such as utility bills, food, travel, childcare, council tax and the cost of moving. The price of renting in Brighton and Hove is above the national average, so make sure you research the cost of your move before going ahead.
Most letting agencies will also have additional costs that must be factored into your search such as the tenancy deposit, administration fees and guarantor fees (if applicable).
A great tool to help calculate your moving budget can be found on the Shelter website.
Rent Smart! – Additional things to consider when creating a moving can include hiring movers, buying packing boxes and moving material and buying any additional furniture or white goods that you may need for your new home.
It is important to consider your budget very carefully before you move as it can influence the size and location of the properties you consider.
When thinking about renting, it is important to think about what it is you would like from the area you move into.
- Would you prefer a quiet location?
- Would you like to live close to local amenities?
- Do you need good public transport links?
- Would the area of your search require a permit to park your car?
- Are their suitable childcare options in the area?
- Is it close to your child's school?
All of these are things to consider when deciding on your search area and it is important to be aware of the area you would like to live in, however you should also bear in mind that the smaller your search area, the fewer number of suitable properties will be available to you.
Below are some useful links that could help you decide on location in Brighton and Hove:
- Brighton and Hove Bus Information
- Schools in Brighton and Hove
- Parking Restrictions in the City
- Childcare Information
Type of Property
Before you begin your search, it is wise to consider the type of property that would be suitable for your needs and would fit into your budget, the number of bedrooms required would depend on your circumstances. Do you have children that require their own bedroom? Are you a single person looking for a room or studio flat? Are you a group of housemates searching for a shared property? These circumstances determine the way your search will be carried out.
Rent Smart! – By considering factors such as budget, location and type of property before you begin your search, the process of finding a private sector property in Brighton and Hove is made simpler as your search criteria has narrowed and you can focus on suitable properties only.
Searching for a Property
Now that you know your budget, type of property and location preferences, it is time to begin the search. A good place to start when looking for rented accommodation are the following property websites:
These property websites tend to advertise whole properties to rent so would be a suitable place to search if looking for a family home, shared house or whole property to let.
If you are looking for a room to rent in an existing house share, or with a resident landlord, the websites below may be useful:
There are additional websites that are used to advertise rooms or properties, however these websites do not check that advertisements are genuine and you must always be certain that the advert is real before signing any contracts or handing over any money for a property:
Additionally, you may find properties advertised on community notice boards, through family and friends or in local newspapers.
If you are looking for a student property, both University of Sussex and University of Brighton have their own advice for students searching in the private sector.
Rent Smart! – We would always recommend checking out reviews of the landlord or letting agent that is managing the private sector property that you are interested in. Rent Smart Brighton and Hove recommends www.allagents.co.uk as an easy to navigate site that enables tenants to look at reviews of landlords and letting agents in the area, all left by previous tenants with first hand experiences. Landlords and Letting Agents are also given the right to reply, giving you a chance to get an impression of their practices before dealing with them personally. If you are unable to find a review on All Agents or you wish to see additional reviews, Google allows you to see reviews of businesses by searching for them through the search engine directly.
Letting Agency Requirements
The majority of private renters will use the services of a local letting agent when renting a new home. Letting agencies may be in charge of the management of a property, or they may just be acting on behalf of the landlord to find a tenant. It is important for anyone renting in the private sector to understand the legal responsibilities of a letting agent in order to ensure that they are getting a fair deal and are confident that the letting agent follows good practices when dealing with tenants.
It is now a legal requirement for all letting agents to post the fees they charge to tenants both on their website and in their offices. In Brighton and Hove, letting agents generally charge around £185-£200 per person in fees, and these are separate from a deposit and first months rent charged. These rates do vary across the city, we would recommend that you are fully aware of any fees expected of you (both in advance of and during the tenancy) before signing any contracts or handing over any money for a property.
All letting agents in the UK must be a member of one of three certified redress schemes by law. These redress schemes are the following:
If you come across a letting agent in your search for a property that is not a member of one of these schemes, it is not advisable to continue to deal with them and we would recommend reporting this to Brighton and Hove City Council to take action.
Details about the ways in which redress schemes benefit tenants can be found here.
Rent Smart! – Always ask a letting agent about their own complaints process in advance of renting a property. Good letting agents will be happy to share a transparent policy as well as contact details of the redress scheme that they belong to.
Viewing a Property
Once you have found a property online that you are interested in, we recommend that you always arrange a viewing before agreeing to take on the property or handing over any money.
Rent Smart! – If you are moving into Brighton and Hove from another area or country, it is always a good idea to book some time in a hotel in the city for a week or so and arrange as many viewings as possible whilst you are here. Never agree to a property without viewing it first!
When going to view a property, there are many things that you should keep an eye out for to make sure that the property is not only suitable for you personally, but also in an acceptable condition to live in. It could be very useful to take a checklist with you so that you know what to look for during your viewing and are equipped to ask the right questions. Many useful checklist can be found online:
It is a legal requirement for any landlord or letting agent to provide a tenant with a copy of the government How To Rent Guide before moving into a property, however it is a very useful document to read before viewing a property too.
House In Multiple Occupation (HMO) License
Be aware that if you are considering renting a shared house or student house, the property may be legally required to be licensed for shared use. We recommend that you ask the landlord or letting agent to see the certificate to show that the house has a HMO (house in multiple occupation) license, and if you are in doubt contact Brighton and Hove City Council to find out. If you move into a property that has not been licensed, you are at risk of eviction. More information can be found on the Councils website.
Rent Smart! – Even if a landlord or agent produces a HMO license, it is important to check that the house is being rented in accordance with the conditions of that license. Does the number of people letting the property match the number allowed on the license? If the landlord or letting agent is renting the property to more than the maximum stated on the license, this is a criminal offence.
Planning Restrictions
Many HMO properties in Brighton and Hove are houses that have been converted for shared occupancy and often have additional bedrooms added through conversions or extensions. A common misconception amongst some landlords is that obtaining a HMO license for these properties is all that is needed to let them. However if the property has been converted, planning consent is also a legal requirement. When renting a property in the private sector, we would strongly advise that you ask the landlord or letting agent if the property has all legal planning consent and ask to see confirmation of this. More information around planning consent can be found on the Councils website.

Tuesday Evening Concert: Overture to Holidays
From intense and erudite compositions of Camille Saint-Saëns and Frank Bridge to more popular approaches by Luigi Denza and Eldo di Lazzaro, the programme presents a wide range of music from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. Approachable and melodious music takes a big part of the evening's programme: Serenades and Romances by Diémer, Braga, Anton, Tosti… to name a few. After the intermission, Latin/Spanish flair in full swing, the audience will be treated to Berlioz's Bolero, Viardot's Habanera and Piazzolla's Tango among others. The programme doesn't consist of only less-known pieces. Some very popular pieces such as Sarasate's 'Romanza Andalusa' and Gardel's 'Por una Cabeza' will also be heard.
Many of the pieces were written by the composers for this not-as-often-interpreted combination of string, voice and piano. A few were arranged by the musicians for this concert, and some remain duo as intended. Some melancholic, some exhilarating, and some, simply charming, this romantic and emotion (and surprise)-full programme promises an enchanting evening for music aficionados as well as first-time concertgoers.

Much Better
Sir Penguinbuddha on Jan. 12, 2008
Page numero uno! (Just add water, some assebley required.)
You (to those few to which that applies…) may, perhaps, be wondering why these first 10 or so comics have no color, shading, or even outlining! Well, the truth is, these are fairly old, and drawn with the intent of actually coloring later. However, I have no time, and no life. I might redo them later on when I'm old and withered, but don't get your hopes up.
Enjoy either way!
~The Buddha of Penguins
