8th January was the date marked in my calendar for our rendezvous. A fortnight before, he informed without the subtle signs of euphoria that he would spend only half an hour with me, and then head to Gurgaon for his official meeting. I had to pick the broken pieces of my heart and nod in approval. I wanted him to stay longer for us to converse. A four year old conversation was waiting to break free. Reconciling to his dictatorial declarations, I waited for the dawn to break.
While fiddling with the phone in the morning, I saw a message waiting for me in the message box of facebook!
It said that if I would reach by 2.30 pm I would get to sit with him for thirty minutes. I wonder if those words deserved to be replayed like an old noisy record. Arrrgh! I didn't know if this platonic complication should ever be called love in a future I had not seen.
I reached the International airport by 2.00 pm. The cab driver had a million questions for me, and his queries were fed with lies. I couldn't have narrated to him, my non-existent love story. After paying his fare, I hurriedly boarded the escalator. Since I couldn't show the security authorities my photo identity card, my entry into the visitor's lounge got barred. Until I rigged into my bag and saw my folder of certificates, which saved my face in that moment of disaster. I went to the washroom to check myself out in the mirror for the faintest of fine lines and waves in my tresses had to be fixed. Later, I walked up to lounge and seated myself on one of the white seats fixed to the floor. Those butterflies in my stomach were multiplying from tens to thousands, while I kept dillydallying around the lounge. I still kept checking myself out on the masonry laid under my feet, and alternatively went to read the destination board. Then I paced to the large door out of which passengers could be seen going in and out, trying to make sure that he had not arrived yet. Meanwhile to do away with my fragile fears, I was reading prayers from my phone's folder.
While awaiting his arrival, I saw a lot of tormented souls harrying to see a glimpse of the people they had come to receive, some even exposing placards with names written on them. Meanwhile, a man came out dressed in a brown sweater and cap and shoes that were as old as him. Oh no! It couldn't have been him! Such a dumb looking fellow, even though he looked a lot like him, and if not for the guy going away in the other direction which proved to be a blessing, I would have surely gone up to him to greet him with a colgate smile. The other night I had used an abundant amount of toothpaste and mouthwash to get sparkling white teeth. A smile was the only jewel I was wearing for this date. Yellow gold will be hated to its last bit of existence and junk jewellery wouldn't have complimented the black cardigan I was donning.
He arrived a little later, looking sagged and sleepy and complaining about a fellow passenger who didn't let him slip into his afternoon siesta. He was as tall as me and my heart bled, for I liked tall guys and I had expected him to stand taller than me. I shied like a newly wedded bride and he wasn't looking at me either, nullified by nervousness. How would two skeptical souls stammering in speech ever write a love story? I wondered!
We traced our footsteps along the glazed flooring, trying to not look at each other out of coyness churning our souls. Finally, we decided to have coffee at the Costa, he wasn't willing to settle for anything less than a capppucinno. I was appalled by his airiness because anyways I wasn't planning to take him to one of those South Indian cafes where he will have to sip coffee from steel glasses heated to boiling point.
I couldn't look into his eyes while he kept staring at me trying to catch a glimpse of the "Miss Goody two shoes" I pretended to be. I kept batting my eyelids and counted the legs of the sofa he was seated on to drive away the jitters. I just couldn't look at him and in that split second discovered the modest maiden in me.
He was feeling the discomfort and when he happened to inquire about the same, did I really realize that I had to look at the brighter side of things and hit on a conversation. When the words were let free out of my mouth, there was no stopping us. We kept talking from there on, and our chatter prattled around family, friends, work and even Delhi rape protests. And in the midst of this repartee, I kept gawking at my watch and enquired about his Gurgaon meeting. He ignored it saying, that it was not all that important and he will leave in another hour. So from a qui vive of an encounter, it became a date.
We left the airport and went to one of the majestic malls in Gurgaon, in his call to spend more time with me. He told me that he wanted to share a meal with me. I don't know if that meant he wanted to spend more time with me or was aiming to empty his wallet at his will.
Chowki was the restaurant that managed to grab our eyeballs for it rustic name and ambiance and in a jiffy we were positioned on the lush sofas inside. I being a vegetarian was the other fact about me, which I trusted he knew of. For all the cribbing and cussing I did on facebook against meat eaters, this was something he missed. He is one of the rarest of rare of my facebook stalkers and even then he didn't know. Alas!
We shared a plate of mushroom gobi manchurian with paranthas, naan for me and pudina parantha for him. The other day a friend told me that there was this custom of taking supper, before dinner in Singapore, the country he was coming from.
This was our first supper together which seemed impossible until a few years ago, for the two continents we lived in.
Amid the conversations, he asked me about the chicken and egg story, the perennial question I always tried to brush under the carpet, while telling me his tales about the Penn kanal Chadang (PKC). One of the girl would have walked away with him if not for the disinterest he had displayed towards her. He was seeking time to settle in his business, while they wanted an April wedding. My heart shuddered at that thought, of seeing him go away with another girl. Even then for once I wanted to ask him, that million dollar question. Did he really love me? My heart was saying a yes but my head was saying a no, for my head knew the answer even before it was to be mouthed.
As we gobbled up the food, he gave me a hint of what he thought of me, which was nowhere close to the castle of dreams I had built. I felt that I was trying to look for a needle in a hay stack. I didn't know what to make of it.. Perhaps I had feigned a fable in my dreams, and decided at that moment to call this nameless formless relationship as friendship.
The shortest distance between my heart and mind had no journey to go aboard. As we climbed down the mall and alighted to the parking space where his cab was looking for him, we shook hands, like two diplomats who could never reach a pact. I numbed by his nonchalance watched him go, not even bothering to glance back at me, for one last time. While I stood there, frozen in a wish, which was never fulfilled.

Manage campus communications right from your tablet or smart phone.
Schools and universities often need to convey information to large groups of people, across one or more buildings or campuses. In the past this meant investing large sums of money in a centralized digital signage system with on-premise servers, expensive media player PCs, and ongoing user training. The cost and complexity of these systems tended to put them out of reach for a lot of organizations. But not anymore.
XOGO Decision Signage is a new cloud-based signage platform that runs on ultra-small, low cost media players and can be managed from almost any PC, tablet or smart phone. It's an excellent solution for universities and nonprofit organizations - not only because of the low price, but also because the system is intuitive and requires no user training aside from reading or watching our Quick Start guide.
With XOGO, administrators can manage an unlimited number of internet-connected digital signs anywhere across campus (or the world!). Setup takes 3-5 minutes per screen: simply log into our XOGO Manager app on any supported device and enter the PIN code that appears on the screen running our XOGO Player app (this can be a XOGO Mini or any Windows 10 device). Assign the player a playlist and voila - your digital sign is now live and will begin looping your content, even if it later loses Internet connectivity.
Did we mention that XOGO is affordable? Our media player devices start at only $85 USD apiece, and our software subscriptions are just $20 per player per month*. And because we have a freemium pricing model, you can download and test drive XOGO on one screen completely free of charge until you're ready to upgrade and/or add more players to your account.
Users are often surprised to see how easy it is to upload graphics and videos into XOGO, drop them into playlists and assign them to players. The days of having to engage an IT department to deploy and manage digital signs are long gone - with XOGO any administrator can create graphics or videos (even using everyday tools like PowerPoint!), load them into XOGO and have them playing across a network of signs in just minutes. Whether you need to let students and faculty know about upcoming events, class cancellations or even an emergency situation, XOGO is ready to broadcast your message to all of your screens.

text: Jia by Hyejin Kim was one of the most fascinating books I ever read about North Korea. It tells a story of a little girl, whose mother came from a very prominent family, but her father did not. As a result, the whole family was sent to a Gulag in the mountains. The father disappears and the mother dies during Jia's birth. Jia's paternal grandparents are given jobs at the gulag, courtesy of the maternal grandparents, and take care of their two little granddaughters. After a chance meeting with a South Korean soldier, they manage to smuggle little Jia to the capital city of Pyongyang, in hopes she can find her maternal grandparents and have a chance to live a better life. She does find them but they want nothing to do with her, so she ends up staying in the orphanage. She becomes a dancer and eventually moves to a very good job at an international hotel, joining a famous dancing ensemble. She becomes a beautiful dancer herself, just like her mother, whose name is not even mentioned in the book, and she falls in love with a young soldier. But when she shares with him where she came from, and that she's not who he thinks she is, he is shocked and plans to report her. So, in order to avoid prosecution, Jia has to escape Pyongyang and cross over to China, where she falls into the hands of women traffickers and only a lucky meeting with a kind-hearted stranger makes it possible for her to survive. This book was very different from other books I have read on North Korea, because it is about living in Pyongyang and leading a somewhat prominent life. It was a very heartbreaking read, and I recommend that you have tissues handy. (Submitted by Monika).

Author Interviews
From Pemberley to Milton
Excerpt from a 2016 interview at FromPemberlytoMilton.com
When was your first contact with Gaskell's work and what captivated you about it?
I stumbled upon the BBC's adaptation of North and South in October 2009. It was a pivotal event for me. I'd never heard of Elizabeth Gaskell before. Richard's performance of the lonely and misunderstood John Thornton was utterly riveting. I don't think I'd ever seen a romantic hero as vulnerable as Thornton was during that profoundly moving scene with his mother the night before he proposed. The intensity of emotion in this love story is amazing. Both Margaret and John are striving so hard to do what is right in life, and they're holding their families up — yet they're really both quite alone.
FLy High!
Excerpts from a 2012 interview with Maria Grazia of Italy at Fly High!
When did you decide to write your sequel? Was it after reading North and South or after watching the series? Also, your story starts as a 'what-if' and proposes some changes to Gaskell's plot. Can you tell us a little about that?
I happened upon the miniseries quite by accident, and was utterly captivated by the whole story, but especially by Richard's performance. I sought out Gaskell's book very soon after, having never heard of her before. It's now my secular bible! I couldn't stop thinking about the adaptation those first few months, especially the agonizing goodbye scene when Margaret leaves Milton. I began to imagine how these star-crossed lovers might have avoided the pain of separation for that last year. I was convinced that if Margaret had known that John still loved her, they could have come to some understanding. I was obsessed for weeks. Slowly, a scenario evolved in my mind that would change the outcome of that scene. It became clearer and clearer to me, so I decided to write it out. I had never written fiction before, but once I started, the ideas kept flowing.
Your Mr. Thornton is very tender, romantic, thoughtful and generous like Gaskell's hero. Did you add or change anything to his character in your book?
Well, I think it would be natural to expect that once he has secured Margaret's affections and becomes a husband, he will be quite a different man than the dark, brooding man we saw for most of the miniseries. He will be more relaxed, joyful, and gratefully content. His character will still be hard-working and strong, but his innate tendencies toward compassion and tenderness will be brought out with Margaret by his side. In my book, I give the newlyweds some time to discover each other - alone - on their honeymoon. I envisioned that during this time Margaret would help bring out a playfulness in John that we had never seen. I think the joy of their new intimacy would naturally bring this out.
Melanie's MusingS
Excerpts from a February 2012 interview at melaniesmusings.net
Where does your book begin in regards to Elizabeth Gaskell's novel?
It begins shortly after Mr. Hale's death, when Aunt Shaw has come to take Margaret back to London. I've given a twist to Gaskell's plot which sends the story in a new direction.
It was my obsession with the heart-wrenching goodbye scene that impelled me to write this story. Actually, it was the miniseries that turned me into a writer, and I know several other authors who can attribute the start of their writing careers to North and South. That's the power of the miniseries – and of Richard's amazing acting.
What are your thoughts on Henry Lennox? Love him? Hate him? Is he simply misunderstood?
That's a somewhat complicated question because there are practically two versions of Henry. In Gaskell's book, Henry Lennox is a nice enough fellow; he just isn't the one for Margaret. He seems content to follow the rather self-consumed patterns of London society which Margaret doesn't really enjoy. I give him credit for being attracted to Margaret. He likes her intelligence and her unique spirit, but he doesn't really understand her.
Both the Henry of the book and the Henry of the adaptation have a tenacious hope that Margaret can be won over, given time. Wrong.
In the miniseries, we're given a delightful dose of sparring between Thornton and Henry at the Exhibition. This Henry has a venomous bite and we're given a good opportunity to 'hate' the arrogant and jealous competitor for Margaret's heart. We know who we want to win.
I don't hate Henry, but he can be a great character for emphasizing what it is that Margaret doesn't want. I dislike Henry only when he's being condescending, which seems to be a trait in both versions of the character.
My Henry is very displeased when he discovers Margaret is betrothed to Thornton. I use him to rile both John and Margaret at different places in the book.

I'd like to dedicate some attention to the fact that routines make our lives much easier and help us to develop healthy (can be unhhealty, it always depends) habbits that can benefit our life in a variety of ways.
First let me explain how I define routines for this post:
A routine is a certain activity you integrate in your daily life that to some extend gives you structure, security and joy.
I find it fascinating how simple it can be to trick yourself into a routine, although the beginning is quite hard. Let me elaborate:
When you think about it, all the time people tell you how vastly your life would improve through more activity. And it's true, I totally agree. But to get there, you might be overthinking. Becoming more active does not mean to get a gym membership, go there for two weeks and then slowly stop going but keep on paying. I've seen this in my own social cycle. But there is a better way. Integrate routines in your daily life that will keep you more active. In the end, it is the small things that can help you improve.
Here are a few tips on integrating routines in your daily life (also applicable in the office space):
- Use stairs. Depending on your apartment situation, your comute and your office structure, you will encounter stairs to some extend. While I agree, an elevator is pure gold when moving, they are n0t so good on your health. So, one routine could be, that whenever you have nothing to carry, you take the stairs. Either down or up. For example when you get your mail or going out for lunch. Although it willbe hard at first, you'll quickly figure out that it's not that hard and it could be even fun, when you see the first results.
- Use to-do lists. One of the simplest way to become more productive is to write down the things you got to do and work on them one by one. The best time for this, in your personal or professional life, is the evening before the next day. You think about all the things you got to do and rank them on a piece of paper (you might also use your phone). Then beginning the next day, you'll work at exactly those things and once your done with one, cross it off the list. You will immediately feel the rush of achievement and you continue. Sometimes it's hard to keep a schedule and you have to fight fire inbetween, but even though, write the things down that interfere and cross them of. Just try it, you'll know what I mean.
- Take the time for things you like doing. You surely heard quotes before that suggested you'll always will regret the things you haven't done. I found that to be very true, because sometimes you'll lose something or someone and wished you had done something differently. Please be aware of those moments. When you get the chance to spend time with your family, best friend or doing the thing you love, don't hesitate and take that chance. Take the time for yourself, do not stress over everything. Sometimes you got to relax. Deadline or to-do lists can be useful but shoulnd't rule your life.
- Dismiss unessential choices. Depending on your job description or private life you might be facing several important decisions within a day. As humans we only got so much energy to decide things, so that every little decision we don't have to make is valuable enegery for a more complex decision. This is a very universal advise that proofed valuable for my life and people like President Obama swear on this routine as well. You can read about it here:http://www.fastcompany.com/3026265/work-smart/always-wear-the-same-suit-obamas-presidential-productivity-secrets
- Try something new every once in a while. I love to keep ceratin days and times of my week completely free. This way I have time to try out new things or take the time for other stuff I always wanted to do, learn or understand. Playing an instrument, watching a movie you just haven't had the chance to see yet or take that online course you've always wanted to do. Keep you mind agile with learning new skills and gain new perspectives.
In conclusion:
In general, routines are far away from being dull. Theycan even help you become more creative. They give you focus and help you becoming more efficient. Just watch yourself, when you plan your day ahead, decide on what to wear, what to eat and where to get that coffee in the morning, before you live it. Suddenly you'll have so much more time for yourself.
Let me know how it works out for you.
Thanks for reading!

RADIO: The Boom of Science-Fiction TV
"Star Trek," the show whose mission was "to boldly go where no man has gone before," celebrated its 30th anniversary in 1996. First televised in 1966, the series ran for only three seasons before it was canceled, yet it generated an unprecedented cult following. Revived in syndication in the late 1970s, "Star Trek" saw its legacy continued in three spin-off shows ("Star Trek: The Next Generation," "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," and "Star Trek: Voyager") and eight movies. "Star Trek" began what became a minor television revolution--there were more than a dozen science-fiction series on network television during the 1996 season, as well as a Sci-Fi cable channel, which celebrated its fourth anniversary during the year.
Part of the reason for the increased popularity of science fiction was the wide range of content of the programs. Audiences were reminded that science fiction is not limited to gadgetry and special effects; programs also explored the less-definable aspects of the genre, such as fantasy and the paranormal.
Science fiction came to television during the late 1950s and early '60s with such shows as "Captain Video," "Flash Gordon," "The Twilight Zone," and "The Outer Limits." "Dr. Who" was first televised in Great Britain in 1963, and "Lost in Space" appeared in the U.S. two years later. Many of these early shows struggled in an industry that paid them scant attention, and the result was weak casts and wooden special effects. In addition, many shows lacked a strong conceptual base. "Star Trek" maintained a strong focus by using the consistent mission to explore new worlds as a way to examine the human condition.
A large part of science fiction's appeal lies in its ability to convince the audience of the believability of the world it portrays. "Star Trek" was created with a certain philosophical concept in mind, and the writers developed a history for the universe they created. Individual episodes, while mostly self-contained, were supported by the overall concept of the series.
Continuing the tradition begun by "Star Trek" was "Babylon 5," first televised in 1994. Based on a proposed five-year story line, the program played out an epic struggle between good and evil that involved humans and aliens. Like "Star Trek," individual episodes worked within a framework of an established focus and utilized various aspects of the science-fiction genre. While maintaining a strong plot, "Babylon 5" also concentrated on affordable special effects. Most of the show's action took place within an 8-km (5-mi)-long multilevel space station, and many of the most exciting scenes, such as the battle sequences, were created on Macintosh computers. Because computer-generated special effects were comparatively inexpensive to produce, networks began to embrace science fiction.
In the hit series "The X-Files," which began its fourth season in 1996, the show's creators relied less on computer-generated graphics and focused more on the atmosphere created by the actors, sets, and plot. "The X-Files" was a dark, brooding show that spun a tale of government conspiracy, extraterrestrials, and paranormal activity. FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully filled the respective roles of believer and skeptic regarding the possible paranormal explanations for their cases. The eerie nature of the show was reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone" and played as large a role in its success as any other element. "The X-Files" inspired several other series, including "Dark Skies" and "Millennium," which both debuted in 1996.
These and other shows like them helped to give science fiction a firm and permanent foothold in television--one that reflected the scientific possibilities of the rapidly advancing technological world. Science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury commented that we were now "a science fiction generation." Perhaps the explanation of its popularity lay in our ability to see ourselves in the various universes laid out before us, reminding us that our own world was as large as we cared to make it.

September smartphones
Prepare for a month of mobile marketing overload. The big mobile phone players are launching new handsets in the coming days which will be crucial in deciding who'll be top dog in this lucrative business - or, in some cases, whether they survive as a major player.
On Wednesday in New York, Nokia has a major event where it is expected to unveil its first Windows 8 device. That phone may determine whether the Finnish giant pulls out of its downwards spiral - and also whether Microsoft can ever be more than a niche player in the mobile industry.
Next week in San Francisco, Apple is expected to launch its latest iPhone. As I write, the notoriously secretive company has not even confirmed that an event is taking place - but it has to put a new device out soon or sales will surely slow to a trickle because the current models will look very last year to fickle phone buyers. What will the new phone be called? If Apple's last iPad is a guide, it may just be The New iPhone.
And meanwhile new Android phones from Samsung, HTC and Motorola - now in the hands of Google - will be fighting for their own headlines. So, as the battle hots up, what do the figures show about the current state of the market?
I've looked at various reports from research firms like Gartner and IDC, and one message comes through loud and clear. Android and Apple have grabbed most of the smartphone market and just about every penny of profit.
So, according to IDC, Android accounted for 68% of smartphone shipments in the second quarter of this year, with Apple's iOS capturing 17%. The Blackberry operating system fell below 5% - less than half of what it achieved last year - while phones running the Windows Phone 7 system had just 3.5% of the market.
Gartner, meanwhile, has figures on manufacturers' market share of smartphones actually sold which show a similar story. Samsung has nearly 30%, Apple 19%, with Nokia on 7.6% - that includes some Symbian phones which won't be around for much longer. The figures also show that the Blackberry maker RIM, with 5.2%, has fallen behind Taiwan's HTC on 6.2%.
It would take a brave pundit to bet against Samsung and Apple still being on top of the pile by Christmas. The question is whether the likes of Nokia, HTC and Motorola can make a big enough impression with their new devices to convince consumers that it is cool to have something different. And, with Blackberry 10 now not out until 2013, Research in Motion risks being left even further behind.
I'm going to be in New York for the Nokia launch, hoping to ask the CEO Stephen Elop whether he is confident that the ailing giant of the mobile industry is at last turning the corner. Watch out for that, and for other news from the front in the smartphone wars.

After more than three months criss-crossing Australia, American pop superstar P!nk performed her final Sydney show, the 100th show on her world tour, last Sunday night at Allphones Arena to another sell-out crowd and breaking the venue's record for tickets sales by a solo artist.
Ticket sales for P!nk's four Allphones Arena shows were 67,978 breaking the current record held by Britney Spears' "The Circus Tour" in 2009 which sold 66,247 (over four nights).
The inspirational singer played to a packed house at Sydney's Allphones Arena last Sunday which was the 44th show on her phenomenal, 46 date, The Truth About Love Australian tour.
To celebrate the milestone, Allphones Arena presented P!nk with a custom made Tomkins Diamondtina II Guitar. The guitar is fully Australian and handmade from Australian Kauri Pine and includes an original artwork by Gold Coast tattoo artist, Alee Fogarty. (Hi Res image available to download from https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ljrcao7de2axzgh/LZFTxjJn-K).
Allphones Arena General Manager, Guy Ngata, said today "We are thrilled to announce that the outrageously talented P!nk has broken the record for most ticket sales by a solo artist in the history of Allphones Arena with over 67,000 fans attending her The Truth About Love shows at the Arena this week. This phenomenal achievement caps off an amazing run of shows in Sydney and we salute you P!nk – you're #1 in our book!"

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has an ailing hip and a non-injury-related issue, but Beast Mode is active for Sunday.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport had said on NFL Network on Sunday morning that Lynch is expected to start against Tennessee and anchor a backfield churning out 159 yards per week, second only to the run-heavy Philadelphia Eagles. The team later announced Lynch will play.
Here's the rest of Sunday's injury news:
1. Rapoport said on "NFL GameDay Morning" that Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is expected to play against the Carolina Panthers following the tragic death of one of his sons on Friday.
2. NFL Media's Albert Breer reported Saturday night that Rob Gronkowski has yet to be cleared, and is unlikely to play against the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, according to a source informed of the situation. Dr. James Andrews has met with Gronk over the past five months about his surgically repaired forearm and encouraged the New England Patriots tight end to sit out one more week, according to Breer.
Rapoport reported Sunday that Patriots doctors believe Gronkowski is healthy enough to play, but they want him to be fully comfortable with his return to field.
3. C.J. Spiller is questionable with an ankle injury, but a source who spoke with the Buffalo Bills running back told Rapoport that Spiller will play against the Cincinnati Bengals.
4. Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson is active and will start against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, the team announced. Megatron's banged-up knee looked fine in pregame warmups, meaning Joe Haden could be in for a long afternoon.
5. Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson will play against the St. Louis Rams. He's been dealing with a shin injury for weeks, but Rapoport was told swelling on the leg has subsided.
6. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick is active but not expected to play against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Rapoport reported Sunday. Nick Foles will start for Vick, who suffered a hamstring injury against the New York Giants last weekend. There's concern Vick also could miss next week's tilt, per Rapoport.
7. Rapoport reported Sunday that Johnthan Banks will play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a specialist inspected the team's facilities and ruled that the rookie cornerback "does not pose a risk of (MRSA) transmission to other players." The news is less promising for Bucs guard Carl Nicks, who also is battling MRSA and is not expected to play Sunday against the Eagles, per Rapoport.
8. Also out for the Bucs, receiver Mike Williams is inactive after missing Friday's practice with a hamstring injury.
9. Bengals pass rusher Michael Johnson (concussion) and cornerback Leon Hall (hamstring) will be ready to go against the Buffalo Bills, a source told Rapoport.
10. Johnson and Hall won't see Bills pass-catcher Stevie Johnson on Sunday after Buffalo announced he'll be inactive. Johnson is dealing with both a nagging back injury and a personal matter.
11. Quarterback Josh Freeman is inactive for the Vikings. Rapoport reported Minnesota plans to give him another week to acclimate and learn the playbook.
12. New York Jets cornerback Antonio Cromartie (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the winless Pittsburgh Steelers and "good to go," per NFL Media's Randy Moss.
13. A Raiders source told NFL Media's Stacey Dales that running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings -- both battling hamstring injuries -- will play for Oakland against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. On defense, run-stuffing linebacker Kaluka Maiava will be inactive, Dales reported.
14. The Chiefs announced that cornerback Brandon Flowers is inactive with a knee injury. A team source told Dales that Flowers was hurt during Friday's practice.
15. Ravens receiver Jacoby Jones (knee) is active for the first time since Baltimore's season opener. The team also announced that Eugene Monroe will start at left tackle and Bryant McKinnie will be deactivated.
16. Here's a weird one: The Steelers deactivated left tackle Mike Adams in favor of the newly acquired Levi Brown -- who, it turns out, won't play against the Jets. Brown suffered a triceps injury in pregame warmups, paving the way for Guy Whimper to see action, per Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Presenting this week's #Friday Bride ELENI
Six years ago, Eleni crossed paths with Sebastian. In the summer of last year, they shared their vows at
Vouliagmeni Lake
, just outside of Athens, where Eleni is originally from. This gorgeous couple value spending time with the ones they love, so they organised a fabulous wedding party to celebrate the occasion with their nearest and dearests in the sweetest of locations.
Eleni glowed wearing our
dress. Teamed with a soft braid and a bright lip, this glamorous Bride looked incredibly effortless on her wedding day.
With moments caught by
Arte Cinematica
, you can't help but feel the love scrolling through Eleni and Sebastian's day.
When and where did Sebastian propose to you? Did he have a ring ready?
We were in Hawaii just after celebrating my 30th birthday in New York with my best friends and him. He told me he was skipping brunch on the last day to spend it with friends. Little did I know, they were heading to a vintage jewellery shop to buy me the ring!
Where did you purchase your dress & why?
I got it at the
Charlie Brear
showroom at a sample sale. It all happened in the blink of an eye. It was the first dress I had ever tried when I started looking - I was already in love with it from the website. Everyone told me I needed to try more dresses on to have an informed opinion but I secretly hoped I wouldn't find another to love. After trying a couple more on at different boutiques, I registered for the sample sale hoping I could at least rummage through some previous collections. I arrived at the sale after a work pub crawl, slightly inebriated and on my own. When I found Haliton on the rail and in my size, I knew it was meant to be!
What would your advice be to other brides about shopping for a wedding dress?
Everyone has an opinion so you need to strike the balance between getting the opinion of friends that know your style but also share with the ones who will tell you like it is. The most important thing is that YOU need to feel comfortable in it and no-one else will know how that feels, so in the end, do your thing.
How did you feel after you had ordered your dress?
Literally like a weight off my shoulders. I could go on to finalise the rest of the look and could focus on the details of the day.
What shoes did you wear?
I was looking for a pair of glitter shoes forever but I wasn't thrilled with any of the options I was finding. On a weekend to Paris, I was walking to Bon Marche when I stumbled across a shop called
. I had never heard of the brand before but I found the pair of my dreams.
Did you struggle finding the right lingerie that worked with your dress, if so would you recommend anything for future brides?
Massively. It's all my fault though as I didn't try enough options with the dress before I took it to Greece to get it altered. I ended up running to the shops the day before the wedding & picked the most unglamorous and least sexy option but it worked. My advice: don't leave it until the last minute.
Who did your hair & make-up and how did you find them?
I knew I was going to get my hair done at
Paris Agoropoulos
by the hairdresser I used to go to when I lived in Athens. I then had to rely on friends' recommendations for make-up. The make-up artist immediately understood what I wanted so I moved quickly to book both of them for the day.
What was the most memorable moment of the day?
There were plenty as our wedding was very relaxed. The one that probably stands out is the moment my husband realised he forgot to bring an important piece of our ceremony puzzle. We had spent the previous 9 months slowly folding 1,000 origami cranes to use as decorations. We wanted to challenge ourselves to complete this work-intensive task as a symbolism for the common life we were going to share as husband and wife - and we also thought it'd look cool! While we were finalising the ceremony, we thought we could weave that in by folding the last one in front of our guests. He was meant to put it in his pocket and bring it out at the right time but when our friend who officiated said the words, he realised he hadn't brought it with! Only the two of us and the 'minister' knew about this and started laughing but as an uber-prepared bride, I had brought a backup. I don't think anyone realised why we were laughing so much.
What Traditions did you follow?
We wanted to break with tradition and only kept to the very basic - I wore a wedding dress, we exchanged vows and we had a first dance. I think that's pretty much it!
Did your wedding have any quirky or unusual features?
As our main motivation for the wedding was to bring everyone we love together, we wanted to take the focus off us as much as possible on the day and celebrate our relationships with them instead. So we printed hundreds of photos to make a photo wall of happy memories throughout the years. We also used awkward and funny photos of our guests instead of name placeholders. That made for many interesting conversations around the dinner tables!
We also decided to exchange vintage wedding Swatches instead of rings. We couldn't make up our minds on getting rings or not and as we were getting closer to the day, we thought a watch would make a beautiful statement about spending the rest of our time together. We were lucky to find these on eBay.
Who took your fabulous wedding pictures?
Arte Cinematica
and we couldn't be happier. They knew we preferred a candid style of photos and didn't want to spend too much time posing while our guests were around. So we did a pre-wedding day photo shoot to ensure we could all enjoy the wedding day. They stayed until almost the last guests left - which was pretty early in the morning. Our party pics are epic and so is our wedding video.
How did you feel walking down the aisle?
It was the strangest feeling - incredibly moved and also knowing that it was all going to be over so quickly. I was trying to hold on to every single moment so I could cherish it for years to come.
Take 5 with this week's #Friday Bride ELENI
1. Ladies, speak to your significant other and make sure you're on the same page early on. If they don't want to get involved, that's fine but then they'll need to be happy to relinquish the control of making decisions. I was very lucky that Seb and I wanted the same things from our day and we could talk about the things we wanted to do differently without creating unnecessary pressure.
2. You will spend a fair amount of time planning your day even if you're not going for the bells and whistles. So choose wisely. In 20 years from now, when people remember your wedding, will they remember the ribbon you spent days researching for and cost you more than it should? Splurge for things that will make a difference or really make you happy - don't lose track of the fact that certain things are really not important in the grand scheme of the day.
3. Budget: you will most likely exceed it. So again choose wisely. If you can't afford to show all your guests a good time, trim the guest list. You can save coins by taking care of a lot of the prep but be prepared to give up your time. If you need to get professional help from a wedding planner, make sure they really get what's important to you and that they're close to your style.
4. Spend time with your partner on the day. A few people told me to get some time away with my husband to take it all in and it was a brilliant tip. It all goes so quickly and you get caught up in the moment - it's good to have a few minutes to reflect and stop the clock.
5. Expectations: everyone builds so many around a wedding. Don't put too much unnecessary pressure on yourself, your partner and your family. Give yourself a cut-off point when you'll stop worrying about how things will turn out and switch off. A friend gave me that piece of advice and it was probably one of the best tips I got. On the day of the wedding, our planner had messed up quite a few of the smaller things we spent so much time planning. I had told myself that I would only care if the place was on fire so I shielded myself from those little details that could have shattered my mood.
If you could do it all again what would you do differently?
Hire a different planner or instead, have asked our friends and family to set up the venue for us. It was the only blemish on an otherwise perfect day.
Where did you go for your honeymoon?
We haven't properly been yet - considering a few destinations for this year.
Did you find organising your wedding an easy process?
I spend a lot of time organising schedules and projects around events and so the wedding process didn't feel particularly daunting because of my professional experience. I think the trickiest part was planning our ceremony as we didn't want a traditional wedding and we wanted a humanist ceremony. We had to spend a lot of time thinking about what was important for us to include and how we could bring the different elements of the wedding together. It was tricky to get it right but it also made our wedding really meaningful because we really pushed ourselves to question what this day would mean for us and for our loved ones. We're lucky that it really resonated with our guests and it was a beautiful and moving ceremony.
What will you do with your dress now?
Not sure yet but I'm definitely keeping it!
What are your and Sebastian's best memories of the day?
Our friend, who was officiating, asked us mid-ceremony to turn around and look at our guests who were present. We turned around to see all these smiling faces full of love and emotion - it was really touching and I'm pretty sure we both had tears in our eyes. The speeches from our families and friends were also among the highlights - laughter, tears and a lot of reminiscing. Finally, the moment of our first dance - I'll try anything once by the Strokes - turned to the tune of Last Nite (also by the Strokes) and everyone jumped on the dancefloor. It was finally time to party!

IDF General: Hezbollah 'Better Armed, Better Trained and More Cautious'
by JNS.org
JNS.org – At a memorial service for Israeli soldiers who died during the Second Lebanon War in 2006, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Northern Command Major General Yair Golan warned against the growing threat of the Lebanese-based terror organization Hezbollah.
"With regard to the situation seven years ago, Hezbollah is better armed, better trained and more cautious," Maj. Gen. Golan said, according to the IDF website. "It is facing internal challenges, fighting inside Syria, continues to be a central pillar in the axis of evil and continues to see Israel as a devil that but be exorcised from the world. Hezbollah is deterred, very deterred, but is still intent on evil."
In the summer of 2006, Israel and Hezbollah fought a bloody month-long battle that largely resulted in the status quo ante bellum. According to the IDF, since 2006 Hezbollah has amassed nearly 60,000 rockets and missiles that can reportedly strike at any of Israel's civilian centers, including Eilat, Israel's southernmost city.
"The Northern Command today is a strong command, trained and skilled," Golan added. "We have learned the lessons of war and we've adjusted our training.
