I met two full hijab and niqab wearing women in Anarkali – the bazaar named for a slave-girl supposedly buried alive by being bricked up in a wall by a Mughal emperor; one agreed to be filmed by the Telegraph's video cameraman, "because you can't see my face anyway", and the other, shopping at an underwear stall in one of the alleys, told me that the silver, purple and gold bras and knickers were "a good souvenir of Lahore."

Record day high on quantity, low on quality
Mar 3, 2010, 4:45 PM EST
I'm counting on no more trades coming across, as it seems that things have finally quieted down. But the 2010 NHL Trade Deadline was about as anticlimactic as you could get after two weeks of build up of all the talk that's supposedly been going down between the GM's across the NHL. That's not to say there haven't been a number of trades, because the at last count 52 players and 25 draft picks were exchanged throughout 31 trades. By our estimation that's a record for total trades at the deadline.
Yet the biggest trade of them all, the biggest name involved was Lubomir Visnovsky, when Edmonton exchanged him with Anaheim for Ryan Whitney. That was it. Some would say (me included) that best trade at the deadline actually happened yesterday, when Alexei Ponikarovsky was traded from Toronto to Pittsburgh.
So why the letdown of a day? Where were the big trades for starting goaltenders or big-name defensemen (besides Visnovsky), or the insane multi-player trades that changes the complexion of a playoff race or the direction of a team? What led to the dearth of big trades?
For one, you'd have to point to the fact that in reality there were two trade deadlines; the one today on March 3rd and the one right before the Olympic break and the NHL roster freeze. You could say that the biggest trade of the year already happened, when the Ilya Kovalchuk sweepstakes was won by the New Jersey Devils. The Dallas Stars made a surprising trade when they acquired Kari Lehtonen from the Thrashers. But since the deadline was essentially spread out three weeks with a break in between the buildup to today was a bit rushed as we all struggled to recover from the Olympics.
But could this also be a sign of free agency and the salary cap truly causing havoc with the major deadline deals we've seen in the past? Sure, there was an absurdly high amount of trades but 90% of those involved draft picks or prospects. The assets just were not there across the NHL to justify teams parting with their big name pieces.
Philadelphia was reportedly hungry for Dan Hamhuis, Dwayne Roloson and Tomas Vokoun, yet failed to acquire anyone because they just couldn't match the prices teams were asking for. The Flyers were handcuffed by the number of valuable players on the team with no trade clauses, who most likely weren't willing to waive their clause to go from Philly to Florida or Long Island. Broad Street Hockey breaks it down:
With Tomas Vokoun, it came out that Panthers
general manager Randy Sexton wasn't shopping the goaltender but that
they were listening to offers that came in. The Flyers reportedly made
one of those offers, but Sexton apparently asked for Jeff Carter. Holmgren stuck to his guns on
Carter by not trading him away, but subsequent offers of Scott Hartnell or Simon Gagne were tough because each player has
a no-trade clause.
Vokoun would have waived his NTC to come to Philadelphia, but it's
hard to believe Hartnell or Gagne would do the same to go to Florida.
Again, no-trade clauses bit the Flyers in the rear. Vokoun wasn't moved
before the deadline.
There is an increasingly high number of NTC's being handed out across the NHL and you could really see that hamper team's actions today. Ray Whitney was willing to be traded but only if he was able to sign a contract extension with his new team. Tomas Kaberle will be traded this summer, but wanted to stick it out this season and the Leafs kept him.
Judging by the assets that the Leafs got back for their other trades, I can guarantee you there were a number of teams calling about Kaberle. "We'll give you two hot dog vendors, new light bulbs for the jumbotron and a 2nd round draft pick".
So instead of trades involving multiple players, we saw an abnormally high amount of players traded for high draft picks. In fact, you'd think that a second-round pick is the most valuable form of currency in the NHL after today.
So whether it was the split deadline, a disappointing lack of big name players made available or the fact that the salary cap is holding teams back, March 3rd, 2010 was just as boring as it could be.

American Football: Cream rises to top as final battle for Super Bowl begins
It's Conference Championship weekend, and the four best teams in the NFL lock horns for a shot at the sport's ultimate prize
Rupert Cornwell
Known for his commentary on international relations and US politics, Rupert Cornwell also contributes obituaries and occasionally even a column for the sports pages. With The Independent since its launch in 1986, he was the paper's first Moscow correspondent - covering the collapse of the Soviet Union – during which time he won two British Press Awards. Previously a foreign correspondent for the Financial Times and Reuters, he has also been a diplomatic correspondent, leader writer and columnist, and has served as Washington bureau editor. In 1983 he published God's Banker, about Roberto Calvi, the Italian banker found hanging from Blackfriars Bridge.
Friday 17 January 2014
The National Football League is famous for its competitive balance; the last 10 Super Bowls have been won by seven different franchises. But some are more equal than others.
A neutral at the start of the season would probably have gone for the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC, and the New England Patriots and the Denver Broncos of the AFC as the best four teams. And lo and behold, here they are on the play-offs championship weekend, with a place in the Super Bowl at stake – offering the best two rivalries in the game, one personal and one geographic.
The former belongs to the AFC. Over the last 10 years, Tom Brady of the Patriots and the Broncos' Peyton Manning have been the league's two best quarterbacks. The pair won six MVP awards between 2003 and 2010. Brady collected two, Manning won four.
Head-to-head, however, Brady has the edge, winning 10 of their 14 match-ups. And it was the Patriots who prevailed in their one 2013 meeting, a 34-31 thriller decided by a New England overtime field goal.
On paper, therefore, Sunday's first game could not be more finely balanced. The Broncos have home field advantage, the league's most potent offense and the bookmakers' odds on their side.
And at least the Patriots do not have a stadium to play against as well – which cannot be said for the 49ers as they take on the Seahawks in the bedlam of CenturyLink Field, home of the loudest crowd in any US sport, collectively known throughout football as "the 12th man".
"Taking the crowd out of it" is a near impossibility at CenturyLink Field, where the decibel count at one recent Seattle home game was measured at 137.6, close to an aircraft carrier's flight deck at take-off time. The crowd is one reason why the Seahawks have lost one home game in the last two seasons. But not the only reason.
Seattle may well be the NFL's best balanced team, with an offense led by quarterback Russell Wilson as well as arguably the league's toughest and stingiest defense. However, if anyone can beat the Seahawks at their own game, it's the 49ers.
"We're the two teams that everybody was looking at from the beginning," says Colin Kaepernick, the 49ers' quarterback. "It's going to be a knockout, dragout game. We're ready to go."

4.0 out of 5 stars Vivid and horrifying picture of the atrocities of war.,
Reading The Scarlet Thief at this point in time was an oddly well-timed choice as it turns out, set as it is in the Crimea. It appears history truly can be cyclical if one compares what is revealed about the origins of the Crimean War with what is happening there now. It was also a closer look at a conflict I've never learned that much about, beyond Florence Nightingale and Tennyson's The Charge of the Light Brigade. And what a hopeless conflict it was. Paul Fraser Collard paints us a vivid and horrifying picture of life at the front and the terrible cost of life, not just to the armed forces on both sides, but to the innocent inhabitants of the Crimea as well, who were burned out of their houses and robbed of all their possessions in a scorched earth policy to deny resources and cover to the enemy. But The Scarlet Thief is more than descriptions of death and horrible war wounds, there is also a lot of humour and a wonderful protagonist who will capture your heart.
Said character is Jack Lark, former mud lark from London's seedier streets. As a commoner, Jack's opportunities for advancement are limited. He will never be able to rise above the rank of a non-commissioned officer, with Quartermaster being the pinnacle of achievement. For a young man set on bettering himself and one who considers many officers incompetents, this is a frustrating situation to be in. He feels that the redcoats are not treated well by their officers and he has some rather progressive (for the time) ideas as to how one should lead his men. The way his frustrated ambitions influence his decisions was interesting, unlike another factor influencing him that I didn't care as much for--his relationship with Molly. Molly was my biggest problem with this book. Not the character in itself, which was fine, but her story arc and how this was used to move the plot forward felt a little clichéd and it's a trope we've seen many times before. Once Jack and his officer, Arthur Sloames, leave the Aldershot garrison to join the King's Royal Fusiliers and ship out to the Crimea the narrative picked up and really started speeding up once Jack arrives at Kalamata Bay.
Collard shows the bleak life of the enlisted (or drafted) men in the Victorian British Army, one on the cusp of modernity with its leaders struggling to adjust their thinking and strategies to new materiel and changing social mores. Jack's leading from the front fits right in with this. Jack starts of despising the other officers thinking them all arrogant aristo's who are only there because they had the money not because they had the skills, but throughout the book he learns that they are not all alike and comes to view them in a different light. In fact, Jack's connection with some of his fellows and first his officer are delightful and one of the strengths of the book. The way he bonds with his orderly was wonderful and I loved how he gains respect for his second-in-command Digsby-Brown. I adored the quiet scenes we're shown of camaraderie between the men and the way that they all become equal, be they enlisted or criminal conscript. But not just Jack's dealing with his friends is wonderfully written, The Scarlet Thief has a fantastic villain in Sergeant Slater and some more equally distasteful characters, most notable the aptly named Major Peacock.
One element that confused me was the troop formations. There were divisions and brigades and companies and they all had different names and in the end I rather lost track of how the command structure worked and who belonged with whom. This difficulty might be due to my unfamiliarity with the British Army of that era, but this was one of those occasions where an appendix showing how the forces were structured would have been useful. Then again, it seems as if once the battle started the hierarchy in and structure of the army didn't really matter in any case, as it's one chaotic mess and many soldiers lost their unit and forgot their orders anyway. The battle depicted is terrifying, chaotic, noisy, stinking of death and blood and an enormous amount of casualties, who often perished from the most gruesome wounds.
The Scarlet Thief is an impressive look at the atrocities of war; unflinching in its descriptions and honest in its assessment of its characters' human nature in all of its beauty and monstrosity. Collard leaves us with a great set up for the following book, which promises to be interesting and very different from the Crimea. I'm curious to see where exactly Jack will go in The Maharajah's General and whether he'll remain there or move on to a new identity after. Needless to say I'll be back to check in with our Mr Lark in the next book, hopefully sooner than later as I already have the review copy for it on my shelf. The Scarlet Thief is a must-read for any lover of military historical fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Scarlet Thief,
Je Salter (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Scarlet Thief (Jack Lark) (Hardcover)
This book was suggested to me by friends who had read and recommended it. These days it takes something quite special to tear me away from reading novels about the Roman Empire/Republic but as more people said how good it was, I decided to give it a go and I'm glad I did. I've read books about the Napoleonic era before but never the Crimea, so it was going to be very different.
Within a very few pages, the author had me hooked with his writing style and the characters he had created, as well as those who had taken part in the battle of Alma in reality. The premise of the story is entirely believable and I wouldn't be surprised if it had hadn't actually happened in 1854. I won't say what that is just in case you haven't read it.
The main character, Jack Lark is a likeable individual, who at the beginning of the story is merely attempting to improve his lot, for both himself and his girl, who works in the Laundry room at Aldershot Barracks, where he is stationed. As an orderly to one Captain Soames, Jack is in a better position than his fellow redcoats but as the story moves forward, things change drastically.
In no time at all, Jack finds himself knee deep in bullets, mud and gore as his Regiment comes into contact with the massed ranks of the Russian army. What follows is a great story and Jack Lark's struggle to prove himself and win glory against almost impossible odds. The details are well researched and the scenes realistic as they allow the reader to easily conjure up the horrors of war.
If you like a gripping novel that will leave you wanting more, that involves intrigue, action, betrayal and believable characters, then The Scarlet Thief by Paul Fraser Collard is most certainly a book for you.

M. S. Richards "twitchwilliams" (UK) - See all my reviews
A thumping good yarn, full of action, character and style. This is the historical equivalent of a James Cameron movie: well structured, filled to the brim with bone-crunching battle scenes, but with enough room for the characters to take a breath, every once in a while, before the next thrilling bout of daring-do. The ending leaves you hungry for the next instalment, and you'll want to ride along with Jack Lark on further adventures.

This review is from: The Scarlet Thief (Jack Lark Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
I've heard quite a bit about Paul from friends of mine who are avid Historical Fiction fans. They promised an epic debut with characters that I'd love to spend time around with so many facets that I'd be hooked from the start to finish. So with all that promise I really couldn't wait to see what would unfurl within.
Firstly for a debut novel it's a cracking title. The characters within do stand on their own and whilst the history is cleverly woven within, it doesn't feel like its treating the reader to a history lesson but weaves need to know within with ease. Add to this solid prose, high octane battle sequences and all round a tale that was a pure joy to read as every twist revealed itself. Definitely something for fans of well crafted battle sequences and something that will stay with you for quite some time. I'm just pleased I have the second to read straight away.

His officer fancies a taste of glory and war when they discover the regiment is being posted to the Indies, renowned as a place with a very high death rate from fever and disease, so he applies for a transfer to another regiment, going to fight the Russians in the Crimea. There is a sadistic colour sergeant who picks on Jack and tries to rape his girlfriend. Jack fights him off, but he's made an enemy for life, so Sloames' decision comes at a good time.
On the way to the new posting, Soames falls ill and dies. In desperation to avoid being sent back to the sergeant's clutches, Jack takes over Sloames position - now read on.
This is a well written book with carefully drafted characters that one can identify with (Jack) or hate (Sergeant Slater). The battle scenes are well written, bloody and brutal. The author, Paul Collard, was raised on Sharpe and Flashman and his admiration for Bernard Cornwell and George MacDonald Fraser shines through. As far as I can tell the historical facts are about right. I was a bit concerned about the mention of revolvers initially, but later in the book the author tells us the pistol in question was a percussion Beaumont-Adams. If I wanted to nitpick I could point out that this gun was not adopted until 1856, but it's a minor point. The rifles described as "Minie Rifles" would be the 1853 pattern Enfield, which certainly saw service in the Crimea, and the desrcription of it's lethal killing power is correct, being effective out to 600 yards and deadly at 100, able to penetrate several people through and through. (And I can brag of having one on my wall!)
So a great start then for what would appear to be a series and recommended for lovers of historical military fiction.

Fundamentally Freund: Britain's Falkland follies
A protester burns UK flag in Argentina 370R.
(photo credit:Enrique Marcarian/Reuters)
Last week marked the anniversary of a military clash, one that resulted in a
prolonged occupation of territory that continues to cast a shadow over
international affairs.Attempts at mediation and appeals to the United
Nations have proven fruitless, as two peoples with competing claims vie for the
same small piece of territory.The result has been periodic outbreaks of
saber-rattling and occasional bloodshed, with no immediate end in sight to a
dispute that seems as outdated as it is senseless.I am referring, of
course, to the British stranglehold on the Falkland Islands.January 3
marked 180 years since British and Argentine naval vessels battled it out at
sea, with King William IV's forces emerging triumphant and asserting His
Majesty's control over the area.In the finest tradition of British
imperialism, a governor was quickly appointed, and some 1,800 settlers descended
on the Falklands within 20 years, despite howls of protest from the Argentine
government.UNTIL TODAY, Argentina continues to demand the return of what
they refer to as Las Malvinas, and the two countries fought a brief but bloody
war over the islands in 1982 which left 900 dead.The row over the issue
once again made headlines last week when Argentine President Cristina Fernández
de Kirchner published an open letter to British Prime Minister David Cameron in
the Guardian on the subject.This set off another round of debate and
discussion over the future of the Falklands, and led Cameron to respond to
Kirchner's broadside, in which she referred to Britain as a "colonial
power."Regardless of what one might think of the two sides' positions on
the issue, it is hard not to delight in the delicious irony of the
situation.After all, in recent weeks Britain has been among the most
outspoken critics of Israel's policies in Judea and Samaria, with Foreign
Secretary William Hague hurling some harsh words at the Jewish state.And
yet, even as the British government feels free to lecture Israel for its
so-called occupation of Judea and Samaria, it continues to dig in its heels and
insist on prolonging its own domination of the Falklands.Indeed, back in
December, after Israel approved new Jewish housing construction in Jerusalem and
the territories, Hague declared that, "Israeli settlements are illegal under
international law and undermine trust between the parties." He also warned that
it would "undermine Israel's international reputation" and even went so far as
to suggest that it would "create doubts" about Israel's commitment to
peace.Hmmm, now isn't that interesting. Jews returning to live in their
ancestral homeland, on territory that was acquired in a defensive war, is in
Hague's view "illegal under international law."And yet, when it comes to
the Falkland Islands, which have no historical, geographical or spiritual link
with Britain, and which were seized through colonialist expansion, a different
standard seems to apply.OF COURSE, Britain chooses to hide behind a
convenient little fig leaf they have put into place by calling a referendum in
March among the Falkland Island residents to decide on their future political
status.But as the New York Times wryly noted, "For the British leader,
it is a safe bet. About 70 percent of the islanders are of British
descent."In other words, Britain settled the islands with British
settlers over the past 180 years, throws millions of British pounds at them each
year, and is now asking them to choose whether to remain connected with
Britain.Not much of a gamble there.If Israel were to do the
same, and hold a referendum in Ariel, Ma'aleh Adumim or Kiryat Arba, giving
Jewish residents the right to determine their political future, does anyone
think Britain would consent to the idea? According to its 2012 census, a grand
total of 2,932 people now live in the Falklands, versus 488,395 sheep, which
averages out to 167 sheep per person.Not surprisingly, the primary
export is wool.So just why then does Britain stubbornly insist on
keeping the islands? UNDOUBTEDLY, THE promise of potentially large oil reserves
plays a significant role, as does Britain's shaky sense of itself.The
demise of its empire, and its decline as a great power, have steadily eroded its
standing in the world.Holding on to the past and its relics, such as the
Falkland Islands, the royal family and that gastronomic atrocity known as "fruit
cake," surely provide a measure of comfort to a nation that has lost its
way.Nonetheless, before Britain dares to criticize Israel, it should
take a long, hard look in the mirror.The fact is that the Jewish state
has every right – morally, theologically, historically and militarily – to be in
Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria, which is where our civilization was
born.The same can hardly be said for the Union Jack and the Falklands.

Your question was published, help is on its way!
How do I connect a coax to a TV without a standard coax input?
I have an Element TV (19LE30Q) that doesn't have a standard coax input. I currently have a directv box where the coax goes to and the the red, white and yellow cables go from the directv box to the TV. I want to eliminate directv, but I don't have the coax connector on the TV. Do I need something like an RF converter or something to get the the signal to the TV? I've been looking online but pictures aren't clear enough. K-Mart had none, nor did Radio Shack. The diagram in the owners manual makes it appear that it would be a standard coax connector, but it's not. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

I can see the problem. I checked the online manual and it does indicate it should have a coax input but the pictures don't show this. Mine is at the top right of the TV sort of set in and not where the other connections are located. While you wait for the expert, you can check the web site below for additional help.

Report: Mom, son arrested after family brawl involving frying pan, machete
A Florida woman and her son were arrested after a fight broke out between the man and his brother, according to a report.
It happened Tuesday in Palm Coast when Franklin and Daniel Goggans got into an argument in the front yard, cfnews13.com reported.
Flagler County deputies told CFNews13.com that Daniel Goggans went after his brother "with a frying pan and a machete and threatened to 'cut him up.'"
That's when Franklin grabbed a gun and fired it into the ground near his brother, deputies said.
Franklin left the scene.
Daniel Goggans was booked on a charge of domestic violence assault.
The mother of the two men, Lajuana Goggans, also was arrested for allegedly trying to tell deputies that no shots were fired, cfnews13.com reported.

So exciting and glad to hear he is doing well xx
Posted 27 January 2012 - 03:55 PM
Congratulations Nayjay on the birth of baby Elias!! Love the name Hope you're both doing well
Another one sorry for my absence on EB. I just feel so freaking exhausted atm!! DD has dropped her day sleep (despite my strong protests lol) and I'm really struggling with it- she's so overtired by bed time that it can take a couple of hours to get her down and she's been waking overnight again. She won't have a bar of DH at night time Really hoping to get it sorted in the next month or so- it's not like DH will be able to breastfeed to help out when DD2 arrives...
In better news, DD2 measured totally normal at the last scan so they don't want to do any more scans. I find the whole thing quite odd really, but haven't worried as she's such an active in utero bub, and it's so obvious to ME that she's growing, so
Hoping to find my nesting mojo soon- I've been so lazy, haven't packed anything, haven't started bub's nook, and the house is a mess
Posted 29 January 2012 - 10:20 PM
Thank you all so much. I am still in hospital but will post pics and birth story when we r home. I havent had the most straightforward c/s recovery so still very sore. Elias is doing very well and has already progressed to an open cot in scn. Thinking of u all as due dates get closer. Also thinking of our other scn bubs. Hope u r all doing well twinkle. Sorry about mistakez on my phone.
Posted 30 January 2012 - 09:16 AM
