Bahadur also gets up
Swara : bahadur
Bahadur : sorry memsaab aapne mujhe brake fail karne ke 10000 diye aur yeh saab ne mujhe yeh sab natak karne ke liye 20000 diye

Kabhi ishq dil me khushi leke aaye kabhi ishq gham ka andhera yeh chaye
Ishq hai geet bhi ishq hai raag bhi
Dil jala de magar ishq woh aag bhi
Aag lagaye ishq ishq
Hosh udaye ishq ishq
Dil ko dhukaye ishq ishq ishq
Jaan gawaye ishq ishq
Ek deevaangi hai isse kya kahu ishq hai ishq hai haa yahi ishq hai
Sanskaar is shown sitting in garden alone reminding how he use to tease swara and smiles tearfully
Kabhi ishq dil me khushi leke aaye
Swara is remembers how sanskaar use to put orange peel on her eyes and she cries
Kabhi ishq aasu in aakhon me laaye
Kabhi ishq dil me khushi leke aaye kabhi ishq aasu in aakhon me laaye
Ishq me hai khushi ishq mein dard bhi ishq aisa rup hai ishq hai zindagi
Khwaab dikhaye ishq ishq
Fir chokaye ishq ishq
Dil ko sataye ishq ishq
Chain churaye ishq ishq
Ishq aakhir hai kya mai bhi hairan hu
Ishq ishq hai haa yahi ishq hai
Jab neend na aaye
Jab yaad sataye
Jab dil ghabraye

There rp was listening this with teary eyes as he know sanskaar cant do this so he goes from there and try to collect proofs for sanskaars innocence
Next day sanskaar was giving medicine to ragini at that time laksh and swara came
Ragini was happy that laksh came

Swara : dekho toh sahi laksh inhe kitni khushi aakhir yeh ragini maa jo banne wali hai

Question: Will paying my credit card bill before the due date improve my credit score?
Answer: Paying your credit obligations on time is very important, as it demonstrates you are paying as agreed—which is heavily weighted in credit scores. In fact, FICO indicates that approximately 35% of your FICO score is based on previous payment history information. Therefore, it may seem logical that paying the amount owed in advance of the due date would result in even more points.
In all likelihood, unfortunately, paying in advance of the due date has no incremental positive effect on your credit score. This is because of how lenders typically report information to the credit reporting agencies. Many consumers mistakenly think that every time they make a purchase on their credit card or submit a payment, the updated balance is immediately sent to the credit reporting agencies. In reality, lenders typically send an update of your credit obligation activity to the credit reporting agencies about once a month. The exact date when your account update information is sent to the credit reporting agencies is determined by each individual lender.
[Resource: Not sure where you stand credit wise? Get your Free Credit Report Card to find out.]
The credit reporting agencies receive and process millions of updates each day given that there are thousands of banks, retailers, auto financial dealers, etc., and millions of U.S. consumers with active credit obligations. The principle reason why the reporting is typically staggered across a given month is due to the sheer size and volume of information being transmitted on a daily basis.
This is why the information reflected on your credit accounts at the credit reporting agency is a "snapshot" of the activity, balance, etc., from the last time the lender sent an update. While paying in advance of the due date has limited impact on your credit score, many consumers follow this "peace of mind" practice to be doubly sure their payments are received on time. In addition, doing so can potentially reduce your cost of credit if it reduces the amount of principal you owe.

Topic: Walk (07/20/06)
TITLE: The River
By Michelle Grove
The blood is coursing through my veins.
Destructive energy crackles about my head.
An electrical storm of static and rage,
Family avoid me, I fill them with dread,
With pent up frustration, I cry out as if in a cage.
I want to get out, I want to escape – I want to walk…
I storm out of the house and the door slams.
My feet are pounding the path, I hurtle along.
Hands in pockets, eyes glare at the ground,
Burdens are heavy on my shoulders and seem such a load.
As I am filled with hopelessness I look around,
My steps have taken me to the stream, just off from the road.
I want to get out, I want to escape – I want to walk…
The track is narrow and I am forced to tread carefully,
As it meanders along the path of the stream.
I glance at the water and for a moment, it captivates.
The sunlight sparkles on the surface waves,
A pair of swans glide by, serene lifetime mates,
Ignoring the water voles hiding in the small river caves.
I want to get out, I want to escape – I want to walk…
My steps are slowing and my head has lifted.
The sounds of the river are soothing my mood.
Ducks are floating, ducklings are splashing,
Their tiny legs paddle franticly across the water.
The cygnets huddled together are gently muttering
I feel a weight start to lift and my steps falter.
I want to get out, I want to escape – I want to walk…
The flowers on the banks sway in the breeze,
Releasing their intoxicating scent into the air.
I breathe in deeply and come to a stop.
The sky sweeps across the horizon, a wide swathe of blue,
A few birds are weaving about like patterns on a spinning top.
I feel exhilarated and alive as I study the view.
I want to get out, I want to escape – I want to walk…
My mood is happy, gentle and calm.
The blood is singing through my veins.
Positive energy emanates from my soul,
The beauty of the natural world has given me hope.
I no longer have the despair of feeling in a hole,
I do not assume it is all too much, I can not cope.
I have got out, I have escaped – I have walked into light…

I should have noticed the sucking sound in my living room as P-I baseball writer Dave Andriesen used some psychic mind vacuum to steal the brilliant ideas I was writing down last night as I watched the Mariners from the comfort of Chez Chandra (the house my wife lets me stay within as long as I don't bother her) instead of the press box, where I tend to snarf down way too much free popcorn and coffee.
For one, all I could think about as I watched Horacio Ramirez allow two runs in seven innings was how much better he pitches at Safeco Field. I had broached the topic with him before he went on the DL and he gave me a genial shrug. He may have said: "That's baseball," which translates to "I want to go eat and grab a beer. Stop asking me questions."
Anyway: Dave, the stealer of thoughts, included this in the latter half of his game story (if you stopped reading because your boss walked into your office):
But one game isn't much to go on, and Ramirez has a lot to prove. For one thing, he has to prove he can do it on the road. All five of his wins have come at Safeco Field, where he's 5-0 with a 2.27 ERA. In four road starts, he's 0-2, 13.21. His next start will likely fall Sunday in Toronto.
So, if the Ms are fortunate enough to make the playoffs, my recommendation is that Ramirez only pitch within the safety of The Safe. Yes, that is brilliant analysis.
I also had been thinking about how Ichiro's role in the organization might change now that he's signed a long-term contract. So, Dave — slurrrrrrp — provoked this interesting quote from Ichiro about Jose Lopez' failed sacrifice bunt attempt:
"The fact that he wanted to do that was something I thought was very big for this team," Ichiro said. "A player that does not have much experience tried to do something, and he showed that he understood how important today's game was. Although the bunt did not go well, I wanted to do something to show a feeling of appreciation for that play.
"I thought what he attempted to do was not only big for today, but also big for the future of this team."
That is not the typical post-game quote from Ichiro. It's the typical post-game quote of a clubhouse leader who wants to tip his cap to a teammate, knowing his words carry weight.
Ichiro bristled when asked about being more of a leader during the news conference for his new contract last week. He said he was already doing all he could. Let me tell you, without burning anyone, there were some folks — smart baseball folks — who did a return bristle over his bristle.
It's not unreasonable to speculate that Ichiro, knowing he's going to be in town until 2012, has heard some of the criticism. Perhaps this is the start of a trend.
Know this: Ichiro owns an unmistakable gravitas. If he speaks up, there isn't anyone in that clubhouse who won't listen.
Except on wardrobe issues.
—More good stuff from USS Mariner, where they think Sean Green is the right handed setup man the Ms bullpen needs. And, golly, he's already in the Ms bullpen, so no need to dispatch some prospects in a trade! It's a July 16 entry, about four down from the top.
—Michael Vick indicted for dogfighting. Bet the Falcons sort of wish they hadn't traded Matt Schaub away, eh? Perhaps the Seahawks won't have to worry about chasing Vick around when they go South on Dec. 30.
—If you read Deadspin, this will interest you. It includes a link to ESPN's Scott Van Pelt interviewing Will Leitch, the blog maestro himself. And if you read Deadspin, you know this is interesting on multiple levels 1) Deadspin pounds ESPN; 2) Deadspin ran audio of an embarrassing voice mail message Van Pelt left a girl he was trying, awkwardly, to romance.
–Kenny Mayne is writing a book. Guessing it will be funny. Not HA HA HA Jack Black funny. But funny.

My 9 best moments from 2016
I've seen this a lot on my friends' feeds, and figured I maybe should participate (if late). 2016 was not a kind year for many of us, and I had difficulty identifying three things that went well in the year. I started reviewing photos, and found 6 more! Here goes my list:
- April 2016: Won the BigBlue Healthy Kitchen Wars cooking competition at ODU with the Faculty/Staff team.
- May 2016: I got to take my Mom to the Norfolk Botanical Gardens for the LanternAsia exhibit for Mother's Day (it's rare for her to be in my area).
- May 2016: I got to go to Seattle, WA and give a presentation at the annual Immunology conference! I'd been wanting to do a talk (rather than just a poster) for a few years. I've also always dreamt of Seattle; I'm a pluviophile, and the city just captured my imagination. While there, aside from the conference, I got to visit a friend and see the Seattle Japanese Garden which was gorgeous, the Space Needle (so geeky) and the quite stunning Chihuly Garden and Glass exhibit, the EMP museum, and the Museum of Flight (loved the space exhibits). It was a great trip filled with amazing food, fantastic scenery, and a lot of really good experiences that I'm glad I had.
- July 2016: I got to visit friends and family over the summer; in particular, I went to see Luray Caverns with my best friend. I'd never been. It was spectacular. I have literally hundreds of photos and videos from that (and filled up my phone completely). They even played the stalactite organ while we were there. We also did the garden maze (and I think we chanted "get through the Labyrinth? Get through the labyrinth?! … movie reference) and the rope adventure park. You know, for someone who doesn't like heights, I certainly got some altitude this year!
- December 2016: I was a co-author on another manuscript, accepted for publication and published online! Not primary author or senior author, but I'm very happy that some of my data was useful. http://www.jni-journal.com/article/S0165-5728(16)30336-8/abstract
- September 2016: My 20th high school reunion. Yikes! Has it been that long!?
- October 2016: Survived Hurricane Matthew (not a highlight) and had a great visit with a friend I haven't seen in years!
- October 2016: Halloween is always a highlight. I did the Corpse Countess this year and utterly delighted in my costume!
- December 2016: I got to visit with my friend, and although the Santa Claus Shuffle did NOT qualify as a highlight, our tour through the Norfolk Botanical Garden of Lights show did!
2017-A year of change and improvement
The prep update:
I did not post my December 16 update on my two goals to start this year fresh. Short version: goals not achieved. Therefore, they are the two main items on my resolution list for this year.
- Quit smoking: in progress. I'm on the patch, because I've misplaced my Chantix prescriptions. It will be harder this way, but maybe not impossible. The really good news: with prior review, my insurance covers Chantix 100%, so if I request new ones from my doctor… yay! That's on my project list for tomorrow. I will update when I am 24 hours cigarette free (ahem, not quite yet), and at 1 week, 1 month, and off nicotine completely.
- Achieve, then maintain "normal" BMI: also in progress. I actually dropped *some* over the holidays, which is impressive! I have 10.8 lbs to go though (still), partly due to fluctuations–I've been bloated–and partly from holiday celebratory foods that got me at the end. Also, 3+ days of complete inactivity (sick).
The Forthcoming Year:
2017 is going to be a year of fairly substantial change for me. I know that I will be moving this year (May). That's a big part of it. I have other resolutions for this year as well:
- Time improvement: I want, and need, to spend less time working at home and especially so at the end of the term. I therefore need to work more efficiently in my office at work.
- Money improvement: with a move upcoming, I need to work on getting and keeping my financial house in better order. Part of this is related to the move, and I'll explain more as I progress.
- Health improvement: 2016 was a year of bad. Aside from a couple of rounds of prednisone, facial paralysis, and the other incidental illnesses, I felt sick a LOT. In addition to that, I found out something else (pretty personal) that happened that I haven't quite been ready to blog about yet… but I plan to. I want to NOT have as many problems this next year. Unfortunately, I spent the first few days of the New Year feeling under the weather already! I know that there's not much I can do to avoid some viruses, and I did get my flu shot, but I want to work on having better overall health. #1 and #2 should help me achieve that goal. You'll notice that this year I'm not setting a jogging or running goal–that's partly related to that personal issue I mentioned. Until I know more, it may not be in my best interest.
- Blogging improvement: I want to get this blog on track. Weekly posts! No guarantees about topics, but stay tuned for more information. Also, I'll be launching a second, move-specific blog in the not-too-distant future!
Preparing for a New Year… starting 2017 fresh
Tonight, I participated in a Facebook group blog discussion hosted by Pam of Hodge Podge Moments. Although some of it was about the holidays, and some about blogging mechanics in general, it made me think about what I want for 2017. I haven't set my resolutions yet, but one of the prompts was whether we intended to set a "word of the year" for next year. My first instinct was "improvement."
A lot of things are set to change in 2017 already, and I
want need it to be a better year than 2016 has been. Don't get me wrong, I've gotten to do some pretty awesome things this year, like visit Seattle and tour the Luray Caverns with my friend. A lot of things have not gone as well, especially in the health and finance areas.
I have two goals for this month of December to help start off 2017 right:
- Get BMI into healthy range. I've been resolving to lose weight for ages. I'm not exactly giving up on the long-term goal of a very healthy BMI, but I'm sick of the yo-yo effect. I'm sick of obsessing about it. I'm about 10 pounds into the overweight range right now, which isn't horrible, but it does affect my body and my self-image negatively. I decided a month or so ago that I wanted to refocus on getting to and maintaining a healthy weight before I tried to set my sights any higher (or my weight goals any lower). I want 2017 to be a year of healthy weight, even if not ultimate-goal weight. Is this a SMART goal? It is specific and measurable: I have a target weight (-8.5 pounds; BMI of 24.8). Is it achievable and reasonable? It should be, despite holiday foods. That's about a healthy 2 pounds per week. I just got a FitBit and I'm using that to help increase my activity levels. Is it time-sensitive? Absolutely–I have until the end of 2016!
- Quit smoking (again). I started when I had the facial paralysis. The neurologist I saw gave me terrifying options including brain lesion and MS, and I stressed out to the max. I started smoking again and haven't quite successfully stopped yet. Last night, as I sat there coughing out a lung from the cold over Thanksgiving, I decided to re-commit to starting 2017 smoke-free. I'd ideally like to be nicotine-free. Is this SMART? It's specific and measurable: zero cigarettes. Achievable? I gave myself some flex to make sure I could reach one of the two goals; either nicotine-free or at least smoke-free. I have a prescription for Chantix–it's expensive, and very dangerous with my depression, but I used it before and had been 5 years smoke free. If I do not succeed with the nicotine patches by Dec 16th, I will fill the prescription and start using it. Time-bound? Again, yes–Dec 31st. I'll check in on these again!
I will hereby hold myself accountable and give an update on December 16 and another on December 31.
Thanksgiving 2016
Being sick on a holiday is never fun. This year was no exception. Mostly, it was just a cold with a lot of sinus drainage.
I always watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade! This year we tried CBS, but we ended up switching back to NBC about an hour in. Their coverage was just better–and so was their position/view of the performances in front of Macy's! I did have a distraction while watching, though…
Have I mentioned that Jolie likes to CHEW on everything?!
We scaled back Thanksgiving this year and did a turkey breast, green beans, mini-croissants (store bought), cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and deviled eggs. Yes, that was our scaled-back version. I had never done a boneless turkey breast before so hunted for instructions, and I settled on the ideas from Claire Robinson via Food Network here.
Unfortunately, having a cold meant that I really couldn't taste much. Mostly just salty, sweet, and tangy-tart. The leftovers tasted better though, so I'm assuming the dinner itself was good, too.
After dinner? The predictable cleanup. After that? PIE. Yum. I strongly prefer to make my pies totally from scratch, but we didn't get any pumpkins this year–and the outcome was noticeably different in the final product. I tend to add more spices to mine than is traditional.
My final activity for the day was to have a mug of Theraflu and a hot bath. My father always advocated hot baths when you're feeling sick, and it's a habit I've fully adopted as an adult. Lobster-skin hot baths where you're reeling when you get out of the tub. I fall asleep almost immediately after. This time, I treated myself to a new experience and tried a pumpkin-shaped bath bomb from Fragrant Jewels… and then I went to bed!
Rachel Ray's Nutrish for Cats: A review
I received a bag of the Rachel Ray Nutrish for Cats (chicken and potato flavor) free for testing purposes from Influenster. The bag advertised that the product was grain-free, which I honestly hadn't really worried about with my other pet foods. The instructions on the bag stated to start mixing the food with the existing food at about a 75% old : 25% new ratio so that it didn't upset their digestive systems. Since I was running low on my existing cat foods, I figured it was a good time to try it out.
I currently have 4 cats: 2 of them are over the age of 12, and the other two are 3 or younger.
Three of the four cats did not eat it at first. Two of them ate around the new Nutrish food, while the third cat went on a two-day hunger strike and refused to touch anything that had been in contact with the new food. However, they did adjust to the new food over the course of a few (more) days, but there was considerably less enthusiasm at feeding time.
My kitties took about 2 weeks to finish off the bag of food that was provided. During that time, I did notice some changes in the smell of the cat poop (ew) that were not particularly pleasant, but that was most notable during the transition period.
As we neared the end of the bag, I began mixing it again to transition them back to their regular food. Again, they strongly preferred their other food to the Nutrish and ate around the Nutrish. Because this happened both transitioning on and off the food, it's quite apparent that it wasn't just because one was "new."
Only Mickey (above) showed no issues with eating the new food and gobbled it up without hesitation. She also liked to sleep on the box. I suspect she actually ate most of the food out of that bag. My other kitties didn't starve themselves, but it was obvious that they did not enjoy it.
I appreciate the opportunity to test the product, but I'm sticking with their other food (one is formulated for older cats; the other for younger cats). Thanks, Influenster, for allowing me to test and review the product!
Recurring Bell's Palsy?
A week ago, I was eating breakfast and tried to smile. Something didn't feel right; the right side of my face didn't respond normally. My mouth wouldn't pull up into a smile completely. I had movement–I could blink and I could move my cheek and mouth muscles somewhat, but there was definite muscle weakness.
I already knew/know it's not stroke; the muscle weakness is limited to my face. Language, math, and perception centers of my brain were all functioning pretty normally except for taste. About a week earlier (two weeks ago now), I stopped being able to taste on the right side of my tongue.
The last time something like this occurred was 12 years ago when I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. At that time, I had 100% paralysis on the right side of my face: no blinking, no mouth movement, no muscle tone, nothing. The first symptom back then was also loss of taste on half my tongue, but it progressed to paralysis overnight.
I went to urgent care and there are some things that are not consistent with Bell's Palsy: the weakness versus paralysis and the rate of progression. I have full or nearly full control of my forehead and eye muscles, so the right lower quadrant of my face is most affected. Bell's Palsy recurrences are not common, either; estimates show them at < 10% (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3362016). There are some things that are consistent with Bell's Palsy: the radiating pain along my right cheekbone, loss of taste on one side, reduced tearing in my right eye, and it's on the same side that was affected before.
The typical treatment is prednisone + antiviral medications. I'm now finishing my 2nd round of high-dose prednisone this year–and I ache all over! That will fade. I have an appointment with a neurologist in 2 weeks to try to determine what is the most likely explanation–additional diagnostic tests are likely to be needed in this case. In the meantime, we've done the best treatment we can if it IS Bell's Palsy. If not, at least my face isn't getting worse, though the muscles DO fatigue easily when chewing dinner (and I have to chew on my left side if I want to taste anything).
The worst parts of having Bell's Palsy before were not being able to blink or to stop drooling–I'm not suffering either of those. However, I can't puff up my cheeks with air. I just make fart noises. It makes me laugh.
I've heard that a lot of people who have Bell's Palsy are too upset to go out in public. I seriously doubt anyone would notice that there's any problem. I don't look like my face is melting off. Therefore, whatever this is, for now, I can deal with it.
Mom's Critters
This morning when I got out of the shower there was a note on my nightstand telling me to look outside!
Hey, if you've known me at all, you know I love snow. I'm an adult and it makes me feel like a giddy little kid. I may not love driving in it, but I have a job where if it's unsafe I can stay home!
New Year's Introspection & Resolutions
2015 In Review
How did I do on my resolutions to rehabilitate myself post-surgery?
- Achieve a BMI of 20: NOPE. Not even close. This year's low was a BMI of 24. I got it out of the overweight range and lost 20 lbs, though. This is real and measurable progress, so partial win.
- Run a 10-minute mile: Actually, according to my Band, my best split (mile) was 9:30 but I think that might have been a glitch. However, in Oct I clocked a 10:04 mile and a 10:05 mile so it's possible!
- Run the Santa Claus Shuffle 5k in less than 39:52 (that was my best time in 2012): This year's time was officially 37:18, so WIN!
2016 Resolutions
I kind of liked having just one resolution last year with a few measurable outcomes. I sort of kept that for this year. This year, I resolved to work on my lifestyle: how I want my life to look and feel. Part of this developed from the unreasonable stress I had at the end of this last semester and the fact that it's simply untenable, so I need to work on better balance (doesn't everyone?!). So how do I organize those thoughts and make them measurable and attainable?
- BMI of 22.5 is measurable. I'm enrolled in another DietBet Transformer. I should achieve this by the end of June. If I am happy, great; otherwise, progress to BMI of 20.
- Yoga: I can start with Yoga Camp. This builds on the 30 Days of Yoga I did last year. Later, when $ permits, I can take a class. This is for mental health as well as flexibility.
- Strength: there are plenty of options out there for free. For January, I'm going to do the Fit Girls Guide workouts (just not the meal plan, because I hate meal plans). This year, I want to COMPLETE 10/12 monthly workout plans from whatever system(s) I choose or try!
- Cardio: This year, I'm aiming for a 5k time of 36:00 or less. Jog 3x/week as training.
- Continue the daily 10,000 steps or 5k/day (whichever comes last) for general fitness.
- Do not skip two days in a row!
- Complete the Apartment Therapy January Home Cure (again)
- Continue the weekly/monthly/quarterly schedule. It works!
- Finish the Fall/Winter Closet Cure and do the Spring/Summer Cure. Stick to the one-in, one-out rule (if I buy something, some equivalent item must be donated or trashed).
- Cooking: ENJOY my food this year! Attempt ZERO eating plans (seriously).
- Personal care: create a beauty and lifestyle routine that works for me. This will require some experimentation.
Leave work at work. Maintain as close to a 9-5 as possible given the teaching schedule needs. Grading, planning, etc. all need to be accomplished at work. Do NOT add anything to your pile this year!
Social & Financial:
Redacted. I have goals in these areas, but they're not for public consumption.

The Boston Celtics are heading toward oblivion and their next opponent could speed up their journey. The skidding Celtics will attempt to avoid a seventh consecutive loss when they host the Miami Heat and ex-teammate Ray Allen in a Sunday matinee. Boston saw its losing streak reach six games in stunning fashion, blowing a 27-point lead in Atlanta and falling in double overtime to the Hawks on Friday night. The skid, coming on the heels of a six-game winning streak, dropped the Celtics three games below .500.
Miami, which owns the best record in the Eastern Conference, has ripped off four straight victories after steamrolling the Detroit Pistons 110-88 on Friday night. The Heat have been rather ordinary away from home with a 10-9 record, but they won their last two road games in impressive fashion by knocking off Golden State and the Los Angeles Lakers on back-to-back nights. Boston is the first stop of a four-game road trip for Miami, which will have played 10 of 12 games away from home when it's over.
TV: 1 p.m., ABC
ABOUT THE HEAT (28-12): Allen played a pivotal role in Boston's run to a championship in 2008, but the sight of him in a Miami uniform has to be galling for Celtics fans - particularly after he turned down a more lucrative offer from Boston to sign with the Heat in the offseason. Content to be a role player with Miami, Allen is averaging 11.4 points and shooting 44.6 percent from behind the arc. He told the Sun-Sentinel of South Florida he doesn't know what kind of greeting to expect. "I have great memories. ... I'll always cherish those moments," Allen said. "Regardless of how they respond to me, it won't change how I feel."
ABOUT THE CELTICS (20-23): Guard Avery Bradley may feel a little extra pressure due to Allen's return. He replaced Allen in Boston's starting lineup last season, leading to speculation that was among the reasons Allen's opted to take his shooting talents to South Beach. Known as one of the league's better on-ball defenders, Bradley had his second-highest output with 14 points on 6-of-11 shooting against Atlanta. It was only the third time in 12 games that Bradley scored in double figures. He missed the first two months while recuperating from two shoulder surgeries.
1. Miami beat the Celtics in seven games in the Eastern Conference finals last season, winning Game 6 in Boston behind 45 points from LeBron James.
2. Celtics PG Rajon Rondo is coming off back-to-back triple-doubles for Boston, which last lost six straight from April 4-15, 2007.
3. Allen, the NBA's career 3-point leader, scored 19 points in a 120-107 season-opening win over Boston.

Poch - Keep Your Focus
Mauricio Pochettino has called on the team to keep their focus when we face West Ham because he won't let them get distracted by a top ten finish now that is plausible.
With our recent back to back wins lifting us into 11th place, finishing in the top ten is now more than plausible if we can keep our form going, but Poch has said he wants the team to keep taking it one step at a time, and game by game, rather than getting carried away with 'what if's'.
Speaking to saintsfc Poch explained.
'I say the same things to my players that I do the media. We cannot lose focus by looking at the long term. It's important to focus on the day to day and to work every single day. We have to prepare for every game as if it was the last one we were going to play, because every single match from now until the end of the season is really important.'

Professor David Blanchflower has decided not to renew his tenure on the Bank of England's monetary policy committee when his current three-year term expires next May, the chancellor, Alistair Darling, announced today.
His departure will come as blow to the City and financial markets who think Blanchflower is the only MPC member who saw the recession coming and spent all this year urging his reluctant colleagues to make big cuts to interest rates.
Blanchflower, a British-born academic who also teaches economics at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, said in a letter released by Darling today that he thought external members should only serve one three-year term on the committee.
He added: "I very much support the remit that the MPC has been given. It allows for the flexibility which is crucial in these tough times. I have much valued the independence given to me as an external member of the Committee. It is crucial that membership of the MPC fully represents a broad range of views".
Darling told a Treasury select committee hearing this afternoon that he had written to Blanchflower saying: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your major contribution to the work of the committee since 2006. In these difficult times, it is important that we have people that energetically put forward expert and challenging analysis and views to help shape the debate."
Darling and his officials at the Treasury have tacitly supported Blanchflower all year, who has been instrumental in getting interest rates down from 5% just two months ago to a 57-year low of 2% now as the committee races to catch up with the slumping economy.
Blanchflower warned as long ago as January that his colleagues on the MPC were "fiddling while Rome burns" by not cutting interest rates. He argued that the data emerging from the economy, particularly the labour market, showed it was following the same path as the US economy and would soon hit the wall given that credit had frozen up in the autumn of last year.
Through this year many in the City were sceptical of Blanchflower's views, preferring to worry about inflation which has risen sharply in the first half of the year because of surging oil prices.
As recently as early September, the vast majority of City economists were predicting interest rates would only be cut to 4.75% by the end of the year.
But since the banking system turmoil of September and October, views have swung rapidly behind Blanchflower, although he insists that the economy was deteriorating rapidly well before the autumn.
Blanchflower's departure is no great surprise given the amount of argument he has had to make on the MPC this year and in any case most external committee members - of which there are four - leave after one three-year term.
Darling also announced that Paul Tucker, the Bank's executive director, will become the deputy governor responsible for financial stability when Sir John Gieve leaves next year.

State Auditor To Examine The Books Of Cincinnati Northern Ky. Airport
Ky. Auditor Adam Edelen has opened a "special examination" into the travel expenses of the board that oversees the Cincinnati-Northern Ky. Airport.
Edelen announced the action on Wednesday, saying that the airport is too important to the region's economy to allow questions about the Kentucky County Airport Board's travel policies and spending to persist.
"CVG serves a metropolitan area of 2.1 million people and is critical to the economic vitality of Northern Kentucky and Southern Ohio," Edelen said at a news conference. "Making sure this asset is run efficiently and effectively is a necessary step in attracting businesses and keeping jobs. The airport's impact on Northern Kentucky and the entire commonwealth cannot be overstated.
"The airport is at an important crossroads in its 65-year history. And my goal is to provide a road map for improving operations and fostering growth."
The Kentucky Enquirer reports the board caught the auditor's attention in August when some members tried to fire the airport's chief executive officer, Candace McGraw, in a closed-door meeting. The newspaper reported last month that the board has spent more than $140,000 to attend conferences and dinners.
Airport board members and Kenton County Judge-Executive Steve Arlinghaus have defended the travel expenses, saying they were necessary to keep with changes in the aviation industry.
Arlinghaus, who appoints the board, said in a statement that he thought the action was motivated by politics.
"I am disappointed that the Auditor's Office has allowed politics to influence its decision to conduct an audit, which came after my opponent wrote the Auditor's Office to request the audit and after he issued a press release calling for the audit," he said.
Edelen denied the allegation, saying he doesn't even know who is opposing Arlinghaus and that "it would be more politically expedient for me to go another way on this."
"I have no problem with business travel," Edelen said in an interview with The Enquirer. "But the question here is to what degree did the spending on travel and dining support the overall mission of the airport. Keep in mind, that this airport is the second most expensive (to fly to and from) in the United States. Where is the sensitivity to the taxpaying public and the public that uses this airport or have to resort to using other airports in Lexington, Louisville, Dayton or Columbus?"
Arlinghaus says the airport board will cooperate with the review.

Burglars have targeted homes in a number of incidents across Rugby.
At around 12.30am on Saturday April 19, five intruders forced their way into a home in Marlborough Road and demanded cash from the resident. The householder was assaulted and the offenders made off.
At some point before 2.20pm on Sunday April 20, burglars entered a home in Montague Road through conservatory doors. Once inside, they entered the bedrooms and stole a laptop computer and several watches.
That night, offenders attempted to break into a home in John Thwaites Close by forcing the door handle and attempting to removed a panel from the door. They caused damage with the tools but failed to get inside the house and nothing was stolen.
At 4.14am on Monday April 18, the resident of a home in Plexfield Road was woken by his dog barking. On investigation, it was discovered that the front door was open. The offenders are thought to have been disturbed by the dog.
During the night of Saturday April 26 into Sunday April 27, offenders broke into a shed in the garden of a home in Carew Walk, Rugby. Once inside, they stole a Halfords motorbike battery charger.
During the same night, burglars entered a shed in the garden of a home in Planter Close and stole a Bosch electric drill and five Japanese hand saws.
And between Wednesday April 23 and Sunday April 27, intruders entered an unlocked shed in the garden of a home in Montgomery Drive, Rugby and stole an off-road 125cc dirt bike.
Anyone with information about these crimes should call the police on 101.

Ran my 1989 oldsmobile 88 out of fuel then added gas to start the vehicle. When turning the car over the engine started to make a noisy rattle sound. Since that day the engine continues making that annoying sound during start up and at lower rpm's. I cannot determine for a fact where the noise is actually coming from. The vehicle is front wheel drive and it runs but the noise continues. I thank you for any help or advise you would send my way. I was told the knock sensor should be remove but I couldn't even tell you where it was located.

Despite the presence this year of every one of England's strongest teams – as well as World and European champions from Norway, the Netherlands and Bulgaria – at the Schapiro Spring Foursomes, two teams from Wales reached the final and one of them, captained by Paul Denning, beat the other one, led by Patrick Jourdain by the score of 58 IMPs to 57.
Today's deal from the Spring Fours led to the following conversation between a leading player and a young student of the game. YS: "How did you make that slam? There were two losers." LP: "I lost them, of course." YS: "But I don't understand. How can you make a slam if you lose two tricks?" LP: "I didn't say I lost two tricks. I lost two losers, but they were both on the same trick. Of course, I was lucky they didn't find the right opening lead." Love all, dealer West.
West opened with one heart. North overcalled with one spade and East supported his partner's hearts by one means or another. West became declarer in six hearts and North led the king of spades. Winning with the ace, declarer embarked on a cross-ruff: a spade was ruffed in the West hand, the ace of clubs was cashed for a diamond discard from the table, and a club was led towards the dummy. If North were to ruff in with the queen of hearts (one of declarer's losers), West would discard a diamond (the other one) from dummy, effectively losing both his losers on the same trick. If North were to discard spades as declarer ruffed clubs, a long spade would be established on the table and West could discard his own diamond loser on it as North ruffed with the trump trick he was destined to make anyway. And if North discarded diamonds, declarer could achieve a complete cross-ruff, with North's queen of hearts and South's queen of diamonds taking the 13th trick.
It would have been fatal for declarer to draw a round of trumps at any stage, and the LP was right about the opening lead. If North leads a heart, apparently giving up his sure trick in the suit, he can at some early stage ruff a club with the queen of hearts and play another trump. Not even the LP could have coped with that.

To follow up on the other day's story about Wes Anderson 'directing' production at The Fantastic Mr. Fox's London studio via email from Paris (and FMF is stop-motion, so there actually is a physical set involved), I was able to get the original Empire Magazine story. Here's a little more from it:
…For reasons best known to himself, Anderson is directing the film via email from Paris […] which has disquieted some of the crew. "I didn't meet him before I got the job," admits cinematographer Tristan Oliver, renowned for his work with Nick Park on Chicken Run and the Wallace & Gromit movies. "That was all done at a remove; he obviously saw my showreel and CV and stuff, but we didn't meet. And when we finally did meet, it was after he sent me a number of DVDs. He has a lot of favourite films that he likes to reference. He's in love at various points with various genres, I think, and when we started, he was playing around with a kind of Bergman/Fellini feel. Really just specific scenes in specific films. And so the process of interpreting what he wanted started at that point, because you think, 'I've got 15 DVDs here — what does he want?'"
Hold on, you mean to tell me a hipster icon is into Bergman and Fellini? Excuse me while I stop my bow tie from spinning comically. In any case, the movie looks good from what I've seen so far. See, sometimes being a director is like being psychologist. You just hire talented people to do your work for you and whenever they ask what you want, you just say, "What do YOU think I want?" and take a puff from a big pipe. I'd like to see Wes Anderson direct Terrence Howard. Wes Anderson would explain a scene by sending him a Koyaanisqatsi DVD, and Terrence Howard would express his response to it via interpretive dance, and the crew would snap their fingers in appreciation.

The first of the lot will take place in France, where Lyon and Monaco will battle to close the gap with PSG and damage their opponents' title aspirations early on. Kick-off is at 20:45 (GMT+1) at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
The Premier League crunch clash between Liverpool and Manchester United will open the matchweek in England. The Reds are hoping to step it up at Anfield while Mourinho's men look to maintain their impressive run of form.
There are two games to look out for in Italy on Saturday, first at 18:00 when Juventus host Lazio, and at 20:45, when leaders Napoli travel to Rome. Four Serie A giants with the title and Europe on the horizon.
Most Bundesliga fixtures will take place on Saturday, but the encounter to look out for will start at 18:30 at the Signal Iduna Park. Borussia Dortmund want to leave their title rivals behind, among whom are RB Leipzig.
A packed schedule on Saturday will lastly see Atletico host Barcelona at the Wanda Metropolitano. The Catalan side, led by the heroic figure of Messi, want to stay at the top. Their first visit to Atletico's flashy new stadium will begin at 20:45.
Finally, the 'derby della Madonnina' will close the weekend of action on Sunday at the Guiseppe Meazza. Inter are currently third and want to continue their rise to the summit of Italian football. AC Milan sit in seventh position and do not want to be left behind.

Here is Jennifer and Craig all dressed up in traditional Indian attire. Jennifer is wearing a sari in her signature pink color. Craig is dressed up in a punjab suit. Aren't they cute? The local Indians love it when foreigners participate in their culture by wearing their traditional clothing. When else can you spend a day in a sari and not feel too conspicuous?
Craig was selected by his teacher as the "maharaja" for his class, and he got to parade around the school carrying a diva lamp. A diva lamp is a shallow clay bowl filled with oil with a cloth wick in it. The clay bowl represents your physical body, the oil is your spirit, and the flame is your intellect.
Here is Craig next to another Indian Diwali tradition - rangoli. Rangoli are drawings made during Diwali out of colored rice. This rangoli has a diva lamp set on top of a pink lotus blossom surrounded by peacocks.
While Craig was carrying around his diva lamp, Jennifer was busy helping draw henna tattoos on other's hands. Part of Divali is to paint your arms and hands with elaborate patterns made out of henna. Henna tattoos last just a few days. Here are some children at Craig's school with their freshly painted henna tattoos.
Here is Jennifer with the rest of her henna-tattoo artists. Everyone got to show off their fancy traditional Indian costumes!
In the afternoon, Craig changed into an orange punjab suit and helped celebrate Deepavali in traditional Indian style - with a bollywood dance! When your mom is the PTC president you get volunteered for stuff you might not normally do.
Craig really had fun performing.
Part of the cultural performance was a fashion show. Some of Jennifer's friends and their daughters did a short runway walk to show some of the fancy Indian costumes.
Craig and his friends had a great time. Here's Craig with one of his friends, Willa.
Happy Deepavali!
