|Search treatments and conditions
There are many kinds of kidney disease, most of which are potentially serious. Whether you get kidney disease is mostly due to bad luck, but whether it progresses to end-stage kidney failure does depend largely on what is done about it. When the kidneys become diseased or damaged, they can suddenly or gradually lose their ability to perform their vital functions. Waste products and excess fluid then build up inside the body, causing a variety of symptoms, particularly swelling of the hands and feet, shortness of breath, and a frequent urge to urinate. If left untreated, diseased kidneys may eventually stop functioning. Loss of kidney function is a very serious and potentially fatal condition.
Some kidney diseases are genetic, such as Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). The kidneys become filled with cysts, which cause the kidneys to become less effective, and eventually leads to kidney failure. A variant of PKD is not usually detected until adulthood. This is known as "adult PKD", as the symptoms usually do not occur until patients are well into adulthood. However, with advances in diagnostic imaging technology, doctors are gradually becoming able to detect these conditions before symptoms appear.
Once the kidney is damaged to a certain degree, it continues to deteriorate (i.e., undergo more scarring, notably glomerular sclerosis) even if the underlying disease is cured. [Lancet 338: pp.419 & 423, 1991]

Anemia: A condition resulting from an unusually low number of red blood cells or too little hemoglobin in the red blood cells. The most common type is iron-deficiency anemia in which the red blood cells are reduced in size and number, and hemoglobin levels are low. Clinical symptoms include shortness of breath, lethargy and heart palpitations.
Azotemia: Increased levels of urea in blood.
Chronic Renal Failure: (CRF) Irreversible, progressive impaired kidney function. The early stage, when the kidneys no longer function properly but do not yet require dialysis, is known as Chronic Renal Insufficiency (CRI). CRI can be difficult to diagnose, as symptoms are not usually apparent until kidney disease has progressed significantly. Common symptoms include a frequent need to urinate and swelling, as well as possible anemia, fatigue, weakness, headaches and loss of appetite. As the disease progresses, other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, bad breath and itchy skin may develop as toxic metabolites, normally filtered out of the blood by the kidneys, build up to harmful levels. Over time (up to 10 or 20 years), CRF generally progresses from CRI to End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD, also known as Kidney Failure). Patients with ESRD no longer have kidney function adequate to sustain life and require dialysis or kidney transplantation. Without proper treatment, ESRD is fatal.
Cirrhosis: A long-term disease in which the liver becomes covered with fiber-like tissue. This causes the liver tissue to break down and become filled with fat. All functions of the liver then decrease, including the production of glucose, processing drugs and alcohol, and vitamin absorption. Stomach and bowel function, and the making of hormones are also affected.
Cysts: A closed pocket or pouch of tissue; a cyst may form within any tissue in the body and can be filled with air, fluid, pus, or other material. Cysts within the lung generally are air filled, while cysts involving the lymph system or kidneys are fluid filled. Cysts under the skin are benign, extremely common, movable lumps. These may develop as a result of infection, clogging of sebaceous glands, developmental abnormalities or around foreign bodies.
Edema: Abnormal accumulation of fluids within tissues resulting in swelling.
Gram: (gm): A metric unit of weight, there being approximately 28 grams in one ounce.
Hypertension: High blood pressure. Hypertension increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure because it adds to the workload of the heart, causing it to enlarge and, over time, to weaken; in addition, it may damage the walls of the arteries.
Immune System: A complex that protects the body from disease organisms and other foreign bodies. The system includes the humoral immune response and the cell-mediated response. The immune system also protects the body from invasion by making local barriers and inflammation.
Kidney Stone: A stone (concretion) in the kidney. If the stone is large enough to block the tube (ureter) and stop the flow of urine from the kidney, it must be removed by surgery or other methods. Also called Renal Calculus. Symptoms usually begin with intense waves of pain as a stone moves in the urinary tract. Typically, a person feels a sharp, cramping pain in the back and side in the area of the kidney or in the lower abdomen. Sometimes nausea and vomiting occur. Later, pain may spread to the groin. The pain may continue if the stone is too large to pass; blood may appear in the urine and there may be the need to urinate more often or a burning sensation during urination. If fever and chills accompany any of these symptoms, an infection may be present and a doctor should be seen immediately.
Metabolism: The chemical processes of living cells in which energy is produced in order to replace and repair tissues and maintain a healthy body. Responsible for the production of energy, biosynthesis of important substances, and degradation of various compounds.
Nervous System: A system in the body that is comprised of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, ganglia and parts of the receptor organs that receive and interpret stimuli and transmit impulses to effector organs.
Potassium: A mineral that serves as an electrolyte and is involved in the balance of fluid within the body. Our bodies contain more than twice as much potassium as sodium (typically 9oz versus 4oz). About 98% of total body potassium is inside our cells. Potassium is the principal cation (positive ion) of the fluid within cells and is important in controlling the activity of the heart, muscles, nervous system and just about every cell in the body. Potassium regulates the water balance and acid-base balance in the blood and tissues. Evidence is showing that potassium is also involved in bone calcification. Potassium is a cofactor in many reactions, especially those involving energy production and muscle building.
Sodium: An essential mineral that our bodies regulate and conserve. Excess sodium retention increases the fluid volume (edema) and low sodium leads to less fluid and relative dehydration. The adult body averages a total content of over 100 grams of sodium, of which a surprising one-third is in bone. A small amount of sodium does get into cell interiors, but this represents only about ten percent of the body content. The remaining 57 percent or so of the body sodium content is in the fluid immediately surrounding the cells, where it is the major cation (positive ion). The role of sodium in the extracellular fluid is maintaining osmotic equilibrium (the proper difference in ions dissolved in the fluids inside and outside the cell) and extracellular fluid volume. Sodium is also involved in nerve impulse transmission, muscle tone and nutrient transport. All of these functions are interrelated with potassium.
Vitamin D: A fat-soluble vitamin essential to one's health. Regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus in the blood by improving their absorption and utilization. Necessary for normal growth and formation of bones and teeth. For Vitamin D only, 1mcg translates to 40 IU.

UFC 210 wasn't quite what we expected. Our predictions weren't terribly off if this night had been your standard UFC event. There must be something in the water in Buffalo because this night was anything but normal for UFC. There was a debut, drama, and devastating news at UFC 210. Here's what our resident UFC Guru Mark had to say about the night.
The whole night shaped up to be your standard UFC event. A nice Round 1 SUB finish from Olivera against a quickly fading Brooks.
The following match boasted a massive battle between Alves and Cote. While that win went in favor of Alves for a third-round unanimous decision, Cote stole the spotlight as he tossed his gloves down to his feet to announce his retirement. I'm sad to see him go, but he chose a great fight to bow out on.
Making her UFC debut at 210, Pearl Gonzalez came into the Octagon with passion and the will to win. While she gave it all she had, it seemed to be no match for the energetic grappler, Cynthia Calvillo, who was right at home inside the Octagon. While Gonzalez hit two out of her three takedowns, Calvillo was able to turn the tide on each one, gaining an offensive position that eventually led her to a SUB win in the third round.
Holy Drama Batman!
The Co-Main event can be summed up in three words… 'UFC Needs Replay'. This fight when back and forth quite a bit, with the judges awarding Weidman with most of the fight control. As Mousasi began to press harder in round two, he managed to land two hard knees to Weidman's head. Here is where the Drama comes in – the referee, Dan Miragliotta stopped the contest due to what was believe to be an illegal blow from the second knee. To help you understand, when an illegal blow is delivered, the victim of the blow is given 5 minutes to rest. In this instance, doctors entered the Octagon to examine Weidman and decided to call the fight. Replays proved that the second knee was clearly legal and the crowd showered the Octagon with boos as Miragliotta awarded Mousasi the fight via TKO in the second round.
Well, it looks as though history can repeat itself – but only this time it was a little strange and infuriating. Cormier vs Johnson 2, in my opinion, did not deliver as promised by Anthony Johnson in many interviews prior to the match. What started off the match was some great movement and surprisingly more strikes coming from a wrestler, Daniel Cormier. DC kept control of the fight and was prepared to keep it standing, but in a shocking turn of events, Rumble decided to wrestle! WRESTLE! Really?! You want to wrestle the former Olympian when you have fists that knock fighters out in under a minute?! Even Johnson's corner was baffled by the decisions he made, which ultimately lead to his defeat via rear naked choke in round two. After the winner was announced and Joe Rogan began the post-fight interview, it was with a heavy heart and eyes full of tears, that Anthony 'Rumble' Johnson would shock the UFC universe with the sad news of his retirement. I for one will miss him. He's had a helluva ride in the UFC and I wish him well in whatever he does next.
While the outcomes of the fights weren't exactly what we had anticipated, our UFC VIP Experience went off without a hitch. From weigh-in to the last fight, the weekend was full of surprises. Our guests were treated to a tour of the Octagon where they posed with the UFC Championship Belt just after the weigh in. Fight night brought each guest to our in-arena hospitality where the food was delicious and the drinks delightful. Luke Rockhold, Stephen Thompson, Rashad Evans, Gian Villante, and Eddie Gordon all took some time to come meet our guests. The main card was one for the records and our guests had the best seats in the house.
Are you looking to experience these perks at the next UFC event? Join us as an UFC VIP for UFC 211 in Dallas, Texas. There is no other program like ours in the sport. We pull out all the stops – fighter meet & greets, in-arena hospitality, behind-the-scenes tours, and much more!

If you did not file your income tax return one year, the next year you no doubt wondered what to do. If you are like many people, you didn't know what to do – so you didn't file that year either because you thought it would draw attention to the first year you didn't file. THAT can start a vicious cycle of back taxes.
If the IRS finds out about income you received in those years, they will file a tax return for you called a "Substitute for Return" or "SFR." It will say you owe more tax, interest, and penalties than if you filed the return because the IRS does not have to assume you have any deductions or exemptions, or that what you sold cost you anything to buy. It's amazing how back tax debt can balloon if it's the IRS figuring out what you owe. It's better to resolve all of the missed tax returns with Tax Defense Partners whose professionals know how to file back taxes, to work with you to get and organize the information you need to complete the filings.
Thousands of people miss filing tax returns in any given year because of good reasons, bad reasons or no reasons.

Income tax trouble does not solve itself. With interest
and penalties it only gets worse – much worse.

You may decide to ask us to resolve your problem for you; to deal with the IRS so you don't have to – but that will be your decision to make after you clearly understand what we will do to help you, how we will do it and how much it will cost.

Faye Dunaway on Best Picture Fail: 'I'm Not Going to Speak About It'
It looks like Faye Dunaway won't be taking any questions about the huge La La Land/Moonlight Best Picture mix-up that happened at the 2017 Oscars.
What happened was: Faye and Warren Beatty presented the award for Best Picture to La La Land, but really, the winner was supposed to be Moonlight. It turns out that Warren read the card for Best Actress (which went to Emma Stone for La La Land). So, fans are wondering why Warren and Faye didn't question the writing on the card.
Faye reportedly told THR columnist Scott Feinberg, "No. I'm not going to speak about it," when asked about what happened.

March 28, 2008 – Friday
I know that changing anything on Facebook or MySpace means that everyone knows about it. Isn't that the point of being involved in online social networking? Obviously it gets a little tough explaining a large change in your life to everyone you know, so I actually appreciate these little features. Britni has changed her song…again. Ben posted more photos of himself tempting death while in the miserable cold.
What I want to know is: Why is Facebook putting a little broken heart next to my "Becca has changed her status to single." Now I don't want to get into whether or not I'm broken-hearted. That's certainly a silly discussion. The last thing I really want to see from a website is a comment on my life. Can't it just be objective?

The game is six degrees of Canadian history. Take two seemingly unrelated pieces of Canadian culture and connect the dots through various people, places and events to discover how they're distantly — or maybe not-so-distantly — related. Along the way, we visit the quizzical and curious, the tragic and comic, and everything in between.
In 2005, to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War, Canadian celebrities spoke about the meaning of remembrance as part of the Stories of Remembrance Campaign, a project of CanWest News Service (now Postmedia News), the Dominion Institute (now Historica Canada) and Veterans Affairs Canada. This article is reprinted from that campaign.

Can Essential Oils Calm Emotions?
Sheds light on their new ultrasonic nebulizing diffusers.
Out of all five human senses, the sense of smell is the only one that is directly linked to our emotional control center within the brain. Scents are powerful and can be used to impact our emotions and our body's physical response. Noses are able to detect scents when tiny molecules evaporate from an object and enter the nose. Essential oils evaporate at room temperature and its molecules come into the air quickly.
When we inhale essential oils, the molecules that come through the nose send messages throughout the body. The body's receptors then transfer the information to the brain which affects our emotions, mood, and body.
Ultrasonic nebulizing diffusers and essential oils can offer a strong yet safe form of therapy when it comes to resetting emotions or relieving stress. These oils do not come with any dangerous side effects, unlike many modern day options.

"Have you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a question you've been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you're alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully."
― Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
Without rests, music would not be music, it would just be a continual stream of noise. Without quiet time, we would not be able to regroup and relax. Silence is a very important and sometimes lacking thing in our lives.
I recently had to visit San Francisco, and was overwhelmed by the noise, activity and busyness of the city. Everywhere I went there was a car running, a person talking, a bus stopping with a loud hiss of hydraulic brakes. At night, the BART blew its whistle every 15 minutes until midnight, when either it stopped or I fell asleep. When I got back to my home in a small town, I was thankful to sit down on my back porch and hear absolutely nothing but the beating of my heart and the soft padding of my cats paws as she walked across the deck. If you live in a city like San Francisco, there is always some sort of noise that breaks through and disturbs quiet moments. If you live with others there may always be someone asking a question or talking to you about something. No matter what your situation today, there is almost always something or someone who fills the quiet time with noise.
Sometimes we don't realize how inundated we are by sound. It is nice, once in awhile, to just go into a quiet place where you can be alone, and sit. Think whatever thoughts there are to be thought, listen to your own breathing and the comforting beat of your heart. It is nice to burn a nice, subtle incense during these times. I prefer VIVA Mainichi-Koh by Nippon Kodo. Koh means Sandalwood and Mainichi means "everyday". This is just a subtle, everyday scent that inspires relaxation and joy and is perfect for enjoying quiet times.

London: Teen star Miley Cyrus has a sweet tooth and is reportedly obsessed with cupcakes.
The 18-year-old singer/actress, who bagged the Kid`s Choice Award for the favourite movie actress, was delighted to find her favourite sweet treat at the ceremony, reported Contactmusic.
"Miley was with her publicist and told her to hang on for a second so she could come over to the Sprinkles cupcakes area and get a mini-strawberry and a mini-red velvet cupcake.
"Miley was like, `You don`t understand, Sprinkles is my thing,` and said her mom `has a cupcake problem` too," said a source.
The `Hannah Montana` star shrugged off questions about her reunion with her former boyfriend Liam Hemsworth at the event.
"Shhh! I`ll never tell. My lips are sealed," said Cyrus.
The `Who Owns My Heart` hitmaker, who is in an on-off relationship with actor Hemsworth, will soon tour his native Australia and is excited about travelling.
"I love being on the road and travelling," added Cyrus.

The coolest guy in the band is always the bass player. Hey, don't get mad at me! That's not my opinion, that's just scientific fact, long ago proven by researchers at Funkytown University.
Okay, fine, it is my opinion, and no I did not go to Funkytown University (I never even audited a class there), but bass players exude a coolness that is unmatched. It's just a sexy instrument, one that you can simply hold without even playing and still look like the hippest person that ever lived. Plus, there are so many ways to play it, which means there are so many ways to look cool. Don't believe me? Then just watch this video of a bassist seamlessly using 30 different techniques to play his bass–in just two minutes–and tell me it's not the best.
This comes from YouTube user Davie504, and his many ways of rocking out vary from the totally standard, to the totally weird, to one that isn't even technically "playing."
So what are the 30 ways to play the bass?
- Palm muting
- 2 fingers
- Hammer-ons
- Pull-offs
- Staccato
- Legato
- Knob tweaking
- Slap
- Strumming Chords
- Double thumb
- Slides
- 2 hands tapping
- 1 hand tapping
- Zero hands tapping (THIS WAS INEVITABLE!)
- Natural harmonics
- Tapped harmonics
- Octave playing
- Artificial harmonics
- Using a guitar as a pick (Not as cool as using a violin to play a guitar, like Spinal Tap's Nigel Tufnel, but it still counts!)
- 3 fingers (4 fingers would be ostentatious)
- Galloping
- Pick
- Scratching
- Muting
- Pick & slap
- Sweep picking
- Pre-bending
- Bending
- Teeth (He must have forgotten about "Post-bending" and "Off-season bending.")
- Neck bending
That guy, for those two minutes, was the coolest man to ever live. Oh, and he's also crazy talented and that was awesome.
Okay, so what's your favorite technique? Did he leave one out? Let us know all your thoughts in the comments below.

Pairing: Akanishi Jin/ Nishikido Ryo
Rating: PG-13
Genre: au, romance
Disclaimer: I don't own the boys, but the story is mine. :D
Note: English is not my native language, so I'm sorry for mistakes
Summary: Jin meets this stranger, who is crying when he sees him, but he doesn't know why he acts like this towards him.
Note 2: Written for the welcome challenge in ryoxjin
He saw him disappearing in the dark and some small tears appeared in his eyes when he realized that he wouldn't see him anymore.
It's the day I lost you…
Ryo sat on the bench in the park and looked around. It was a warm spring day and he enjoyed the first warm hours outside. He was new in town and till now he hadn't many friends here, so mostly he went out alone.
"Sorry, can I sit next to you? There is no other bench around here", a strange guy smiled at him. Ryo just nodded and winced when he looked into the other one's face.
"I am sorry, do we know each other?", Ryo asked and knitted his eyebrows.
"No, I think we don't. Are you new here?", the guy asked and saw Ryo nodding at him. "I am Jin", he added.
"Ryo, I am Ryo, and yes I moved here some weeks ago", he said and smiled at the other one.
"Oh, where are you from?"
"I moved from Osaka here", Ryo answered and smiled slightly.
Ryo didn't answer immediately, the horrible pictures popped up in his mind again.
It was a cold night when he walked out of the bar. He could already smell the snow in the air and he longed for a warm bed and a hot cup of tea. Right before he reached his home he saw a stranger standing in the dark, looking at him.
Ryo winced again and looked at the guy next to him – who was mysteriously gone. He looked around in the area, but he didn't saw him anywhere. Some tears appeared in his eyes and he stood up to search for the other one, but he couldn't find him anywhere.
The figure in the corner of the street looked at him and smiled friendly. "Kaito", Ryo smiled and ran up to him, hugging him tightly. He saw the other one grinning at him and placing a small kiss on his lips. "Shrimp", he said in his low and deep voice.
Ryo's heart beat faster, but he couldn't see this strange guy anywhere. His breathe was fast and he searched in every corner of the park, but the other one was gone.
It was always the same procedure they had. Ryo came home late at night and Kaito was waiting for him, following him to his apartment. No one except Ryo knew about Kaito's existence, and actually no one would see him, except Ryo. Kaito was Ryo's guardian angel, and so he was only visible if no one was around. Actually even Ryo shouldn't be able to see him, because those angels normally had to work invisibly for everyone, especially for their fosterlings.
But Kaito wasn't able to resist against his own feelings towards the other one. From the first second Ryo saw his guardian he fell in love with him, and he knew he'd never let him go again. Their relationship got deeper and deeper and even though it wasn't allowed it somehow got accepted.
But on the day Ryo nearly died, Kaito made the mistake and broke the rules.
Ryo lost the control over his car and hit the beam barrier. Before the car fell down the cliff Kaito used his power to push him out of the car.
Ryo woke up on the street, it was already late at night, and he looked around. He saw Kaito standing in the middle of the untraveled street, some tears in his eyes.
"Kaito…", Ryo said and stood up to walk to the other one.
"Ryo, it's time to go…", he answered.
"What?", Ryo didn't understand what the other one wanted to tell him.
"I broke the rules. I am not allowed to save your life like I did. I used my power to save you, even though your time had come.", he answered and smiled sadly. "And now I have to go instead of you. Promise me to live your life and use every chance you get", he said and Ryo saw him disappearing in the dark.
Tears were running down his face and Ryo screamed out the other one's name for various times. Not only that he lost his guardian angel in this moment, he lost the most precious person and the love of his life. He knew they broke nearly every rule because of their relationship, but Ryo was happy with him, and he didn't want to miss him a single minute a day.
And now Kaito was gone. He gave his life for Ryo, and Ryo felt lonely, like he would have lost his life too. He didn't want to live without the other one, he needed his guardian angel.
Months passed by and Ryo felt worse with every new day. He didn't hear anything from Kaito, and soon he recognized that the other one was really gone, and he wouldn't return to him.
He decided to move from his old place to start new, because Kaito's last words were still resounding in his ears – "live your life and use every chance you get".
Ryo shook his head and closed his eyes. "Kaito…", he whispered and rubbed above his head. "I found you again…", he added. He saw the picture of this strange guy popping up in his mind, and he couldn't believe that Kaito came back to him, at least he thought it was his guardian angel who returned.
"Hey, Shrimp", Ryo winced and turned around.
"What did you say?", he said slowly and looked at the strange guy, who smiled brightly at him.
"I want to know if you are searching something, because you run up and down in the park.", he stepped closer and pulled his hands out of his pockets.
"Why are you calling me like this?", Ryo wanted to know and felt a heat rising up in him. The only person who ever used the word "Shrimp" for him was Kaito, who was apparently standing in front of him.
"I don't know…I thought the name fits you", Jin answered softly.
"You look like him…", Ryo said and shook his head.
"Like who?", Jin knitted his eyebrows and stared at the other one. Normally he wasn't the one who spoke to strangers like this, but he felt attracted to this boy, and he exactly knew why.
"Like my…someone I knew quite well", Ryo stuttered and sat down on the bench behind him.
"And he always called you shrimp?", Jin asked further.
"Yes…and he looked exactly like you do", Ryo looked up at the other one and felt a stinging pain in his chest when he saw Jin's trustful and warm eyes resting on him. They were exactly like Kaito's. It was him who sat next to Ryo in this moment.
Ryo couldn't hold it back anymore, he bit on his lips and felt the tears coming up in him. He jumped up and left the park without looking back. He knew it wasn't his angel, who returned to him. Jin was a stranger, and it was a coincidence that he met him here, but his outlook, his voice, his behavior and his words were exactly like Kaito's were.
Ryo sat down in the corridor of his apartment and cried all the pain out when he suddenly heard a knocking on the door. He sobbed and stood up to take a look who visited him.
"Sorry, I followed you, and now I heard you crying in there. Did I do something wrong?", Jin asked softly.
"No, no, of course not…we don't know each other, how could you do something wrong?", Ryo answered friendly and wiped away some drained tears. "Come in", he added and let Jin walking into his living room.
Jin sat down on the couch and looked down on his feet. "Ano…it's not that we know each other, but you also look like someone I know", Jin started and saw Ryo's astonished expression.
"You know me too?", he wondered.
"No, I think not exactly you…but I also lost someone some time ago, and you look like he did", Jin said and closed his eyes shortly, suppressing the knot in his throat.
Ryo couldn't believe what the other one told him there. "You lost someone?", Ryo asked and next to Jin.
"Yes, he was like my…I don't know how to say, because it sounds so weird…but he was my guardian angel", Jin said sadly.
"That can't be…", Ryo whispered and rubbed his forehead.
"Well, it can…but I understand that you don't believe me", Jin smiled slightly.
"No, no, I had the same experience", Ryo answered and saw Jin knitting his eyebrows.
"What do you mean?", Jin's heart made some jumps when he heard the other one's words. He couldn't believe that a second person had the same experience like he had.
"I lost my angel some time ago, he saved my life and died for me", Ryo looked on the floor, his thoughts were spinning around.
"He died for you?", Jin asked softly and sighed "Mine too", he added and saw Ryo looking at him in utter surprise.
"How?", Ryo nearly whispered.
"He saved my life after a car accident and disappeared after it", Jin explained and rubbed above his eyes, which got a little bit teary.
"That's not possible…", Ryo had his mouth wide open and stared at Jin.
"Don't tell me it was the same with you?", Jin asked the other one, who only nodded shortly. "And I look like him and you like mine…", Jin reasoned.
"It seems so", Ryo replied.
"It's a wonder that we met each other", Jin said without looking at the other one.
"Fate…", Ryo whispered and smiled slightly when looked out of the window and saw a small sparkling on the sky. It was like a sign from heaven he got in this moment and turned around to face the other one.
Jin smiled at him and softly touched his face, running his fingers above his lips before he bent down to place a short kiss on the other one's lips.
"But you kiss better than he did", Jin smiled some minutes later. "You are crying?", he added and wiped away some tears of Ryo's face.
"Sorry, I am just happy to have him back, no, wait…I am glad that I found you, that's what I wanted to say", Ryo answered and leaned against Jin's chest.
Even though they didn't know each other they felt familiar with each other from the first second. It was like both of them got back their guardian angel.
Note: Hello everyone!! Thanks for reading my story and supporting me and my (crazy) ideas. I just want to tell you that my request post is open for everyone. So if you want something, just feel free to request it HERE

Piryev, Ivan
Born: 4 November 1901, Kamen-na-Obi, Altai province, Russia
Film director Ivan Piryev, along with Grigori Aleksandrov, was the leading author of Soviet musical comedies, one of the few well-developed popular genres within the system of Stalinist film culture.
Died: 7 February 1968, Moscow, Russia
As a young man, he fought for two years in the World War I- was awarded, injured, hospitalized. During the civil war he served in the Red Army. In 1922, he came to the people's experimental theatre, headed at that time by Sergei Eiseinstein. After leaving theater for film, he very soon won the reputation of a best assistant film director. He was selecting actors, taking part in crowd scenes and did editing. Pyryev's first films - satirical comedies – 'The Foreign Woman' (1929) and 'The Civil Servant' (1930), were a combination of grotesque and details of everyday life. After the critics claimed that satire and negative characters are out of place in socialist art, Piryev rejected satire forever, while he stucked to the genre of comedy. Piryev's musical comedies from Stalin time became a kind of model in cinematography of the 1930s-1940s.They were a hymn to labor and love, they did not feature life as it was but as it should have been. In the mid-1950s (so-called thaw) when he was accused of the embellishment of real life and misleading the public, Piryev decided to make a new begin – he made the film adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's novels - 'The Idiot', 'The White Nights' and 'The Brothers Karamazov'. While working on the last one he died on the heart attack. The film was completed by actors Mikhail Ulyanov and Kirill Lavrov, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1969.

When you purchase a vision plan, the goal is to receive quality eye care while keeping your out-of-pocket expenses low. Click the six questions below to see what you should know before buying.
When you visit an eye doctor, the copay is the portion you pay for services. Make sure to pay close attention to your copay amounts, so you're not surprised with how much you'll spend at the doctor's office.
When researching vision insurance, a large doctor network can mean quality and convenience. VSP has the largest national network of independent doctors, so finding one near your work or home shouldn't be a problem.
Whether you're interested in getting classic or trendy frames, you'll want to ensure the frame allowance will cover most of the cost. Also know that VSP members get an Extra $20 to spend on top of their frame allowance when they choose a featured frame brand.
Look for plans with coverage every 12 months. With a VSP Individual Vision Plan, you're covered every 12 months for an exam and glasses.
You'll want to make sure your plan covers a full eye exam. All VSP eye doctors perform a WellVision Exam®, which not only evaluates your vision, but also checks for general health conditions that can be detected through the retina.
Most people want or need some type of lens enhancements (i.e. scratch resistance). Know which enhancements are covered with a copay or have an out-of-pocket maximum cost.

Words that begin with "V"
A sport i am happily getting better at and *gasp* am beginning to enjoy. I have developed a great powerserve in the past couple weeks so that is a plus. YIPEE!! I am gaining athletic ability!! The RAPTURE IS NEAR!!!!
Welp, i think my friends and I are beginning to get over this little thing (Valentines Day Despair-Destress Syndrome) It was a sad couple days for my single friends and I. And frustrating and infuriating for me. Let me explain...
An anonymous poster was whining about his valentines day lonliness. The thing that ticks me off is that this guy has dumped...3.. count them.. uno, dos, TRES!! girls this past year and he is whining. All of them are still single (trust me i know all of them) and all but one have remained this way since he dumped them. Why on earth should u be able to dump THREE GIRLS and then complain about lonliness. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....that just irks me...
On the other hand I did find a few happily single friends. Aaron, Zac, Rachel, Bri- I applaud u guys... Can I take lessons?

A rare occurance
pretty good day today. ok, i just lied. it wasn't so great. starting with gym. alot of you know that in 2nd grade i sliced my foot open and came close to hitting a tendon. i had 13 stitches. well, this is just now choosing to cause me problems. today we did sprints and a whole lot of funky excercises that put my weight on my feet. (this has happened for a few days) it usually hurts pretty bad but today i was about ready to cry it hurt so bad. just pray for me ok? well, spanish went ok, but algebra wasn't so good. I got a %58.67 on my algebra test that i actually studied for. that's not fun. at least i didn't get in trouble. i was kinda slow by science ( i usually am. it's 7th period) so i got reeeeeeeal behind on my notes and had to ask for the slides from my teacher. but 8th period made it a little better. MAGZ IS BACK AT MY SCHOOL!!! i'm so happy. she went to homeschool for about a month, decided she hated it, and now is back with her old schedule so she is in my S.S. class agian. i am so glad. at least my day was better than Aaron's. He left 4th period because he has strep throat. Awwww... i feel so bad for him. but anywhooo.. that's my day. i'm signing off now.

Teehee- how CSG says lol
that is so funny. i unno why. but he put it on im and i about died...
I love IM and colored sharpies
yesterday i logged on at 2:00 and got off at 10:30. That was fun. First I talked to zac and rachel. and maggie. and two other rachels. and then i finished by talking to aaron. Aaron was the first actual conversation i had had all evening. (i know i am raving again) we talked about college and what we wanted to do for a living (he wants to go into design at OSU and design golf courses and houses and banks and stuff. and be in marching band like he is now) and shoes (ooh, a guy who talks about shoes. be still my heart...)and just anything that came to mind. unlike most of my friends where we just shoot insults back and forth. much more organized. lol.
last night when i went to krogers they had little keychain sharpies for $1.50. They are usually like $3. so i bought them and some normal sharpies. my bookbag is beautiful now. hahaha

My bestest friend *sniffle*
- u don't know him
- she said not to because it isn't common knowledge yet
The 2nd reason really ticked off my other best friend, Rachel. She wanted to know who it was and I said "no, maggie said i can't tell" which caused her to hang up on me and log off of instant messenger.oh well. she'll get over it.
And while i am talking of best friends i talked to Brittany McNamara this morning. She was filling me in on last nights service because i missed it (see dad's blog for details) for all of you wondering whow tiffany is doing last night she stood up at church and testified that all of the lumps are gone and she is going to the doctor for blood work today confident that will tell her that the lymphoma is gone. I BELIEVE IT!!!
I sense a cruel edge in that statement...
Yahoo Messenger-
me: Sorry Hanch, just couldn't resist. Had to send u this.lol. don't hurt me...
hahahahahahahahhahahahhahhahaha. funny,funny, funny
- The sound I am making right now to express my joy
- The reason I am making this noise (as in MESSENGER!!! WOOHOO!!)
My dearest father finally let me download my beloved Yahoo! messenger last night. On the condition that if i didn't turn off the computer i was grounded for a month. YAY!!
Now, if only CSG would answer....
