The Canon EW-83J Lens Hood, is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens.
The 'petal' shape of the Lens Hood maximises the amount of hood coverage for the minimum amount of weight and hood area. This dedicated lens hood is designed to match the specific focal length of the lens it was designed for.

Good hood for the lens
By Simon DancefloorLandmine

Comments about Canon EW83J Lens Hood for EF17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM:
If you've splashed out on the 17-55mm lens, I'd recommend getting this hood. Because it does both of things that a lens hood should - it cuts down on glare in your shots, and it protects the front optic of your lens. And, given the vast fingerprint-attracting 77mm front glass of the 17-55mm, that's a valuable thing to do.It's a better quality hood than some, lined with a light-absorbent black velvet style finish rather than the simple ridged plastic surface of some, and it soaks up reflections and glare very well. Being designed for the specific lens, there's no vignetting.The only downside is the size - fitting on the already wide lens, this makes the lens even wider, and may make it hard to fit into some camera bags.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great hood
By Berko2010
from Hertfordshire, UK
I bought this because for use on a Canon 17-40mm L series lens. The feedback from other photography sites was that this was a better hood for the lens than the one that comes as standard with the lens when using the lens on a crop sensor camera. As I use the lens on a Canon 7D this is a better choice of hood. Price isn't great, but don't blame Warehouse Express - Canon don't exactly price any of their hoods particularly well. Overall I'm glad I bought it.

Penn Badgley and Blake Lively: Still a Cute Coupleby Steve Marsi at . Comments
Big news, we know.
Gossip Girl co-stars Blake Lively and Penn Badgley, who are dating in real life, held hands as they took a stroll down Fifth Avennue in New York City.
On Friday, Penn told JustJared what he got for Blake for her birthday (she turned 22 last week): "I got her a painting from a Russian street artist."
Blake is really into art and paintings, telling the website about how an elephant drew a painting for her while she was in Thailand earlier this year.
Penn added to that story, saying, "Surprisingly, the most spiritual thing [we did in Thailand] was riding the elephants. They are incredible creatures."
"They're unbelievably smart and communicative. I literally had a physical feeling in my chest ... I'm not religious but riding them was unbelievable."
Blake Lively and Penn Badgley in New York City.
"It's really mind-blowing. We paid $300 for six hours with our own elephant. We rode into the river, we bathed them, got back on them, rode them into the jungle and they painted! Blake's painting is beautiful. Mine didn't come out so well."
Aww. Poor Penn. At least he's lucky in the girlfriend department.

Penn is such a sweet guy, it's not like he bought a car for Blake or whatever, he did a really small gift what means a lot I guess. I love them also. The best off-couple. :)
I'm always cheering for them out of all the off-screen couples they happen to be my favorite.
they are 2gether? you know... really together-together?

A handsome Georgian building ...
This self catering apartment forms part of a handsome Georgian building located within Edinburgh's New Town. Duncan's Land is a listed building and part of Edinburgh's World Heritage site. Built in 1790 by an Edinburgh merchant, Duncan's Land was the birthplace of the renowned 19th Century artist, David Roberts (1796 –1864). The building features an attractive stone spiral staircase shared with the upstairs flat.
Comfortable, contemporary living ...
The apartment has recently been refurbished to
a high standard in a modern style, and comprises a living room with
a gas fuelled
stove, a fitted kitchen,
two double bedrooms one with twin beds, a bathroom with a bath and
shower over and a small entrance hall. It offers comfortable, contemporary
within a building of character and historic interest.
The apartment is for 4 people
An ideal location ...
Duncan's Land is located in the vibrant Stockbridge
area of the city where you will find a wide range of interesting and
unusual shops along with many cafes and restaurants. There is a small
supermarket two minutes from the apartment open until 11.00 pm. The
Water of Leith walkway is less than 5 minutes away, along which you
can stroll to the Gallery of Modern Art in about half an hour. It's
a delightful walk and you wouldn't think you were in the city – all
you can hear is the water and the local wildlife. The
city centre and Princes Street is within easy walking distance and
has an excellent bus service.
A little bit of history ...
Duncan's Land is a merchant's house built about 1790 from the stones of demolished buildings in Edinburgh's Old Town. It was the birthplace of the artist, David Roberts (1796-1864), who worked as a scene painter at Edinburgh's Theatre Royal and London's Covent Garden. In 1830, he was appointed President of the Society of British Artists. During the following decade he toured the Far East, producing a celebrated series of paintings of Egyptian scenes and antiquities. David Roberts was a Commissioner of the Great Exhibition of Industry and Arts in 1851. A plaque on the wall of the house celebrates his birthplace. In 2011 Duncan's Land was completely renovated with a new kitchen, new furniture, new carpets and repainted throughout. Click here for more history of Duncan's Land and David Roberts.

Oddly, not thinking about money brings out my better aspects, most fundamentally in the work I've pursued. Inspired by my parents' respective passions for their vocationsmy father was an executive who rose through the ranks; my mother, who returned to work when I was 10, was a guidance counselor with a dedication to elevating the down-and-outI've chosen a career that has been personally fulfilling and has, at times, done a bit of good for the world. I chose it believing that I'd be happier stretching myself creatively and helping other people than I would be getting rich.
I've taken this obliviousness to extremes, it's true. I once went a whole year without noticing that I hadn't received a promised raise. My general perception of raises had been that they're virtually unnoticeableone's net pay barely budgesso why look at my check and be disappointed? When I mentioned the error to my boss, she offered to arrange back wages...and I told her to forget about it! I'd pointed out the mistake, yet was embarrassed to have to reveal my oversight. Acting nonchalant about the money puffed me up again, restored my prideI didn't really need the raise. I know it was ridiculous to give my boss the message that raises were trivial to meand to leave what was owed to me on the tablebut like I said, it was such a pittance.
Everyone knows that no amount of money is ever enough. At the age of 44, I can buy $100 shoes without feeling a bit guilty or persecuted; my mother still can't. But $300 shoes? I couldn't, I wouldn't. God, maybe I did once. In other words, if no money is ever enough, why bother being preoccupied with trying to gather more of it? Work with what you have.
I did not experience a childhood of deprivation; my suburban Cleveland family was securely middle-class. There was an aura of hardship in our household after my parents divorced when I was 12, but that was mostly my romantic fantasy. My sister and I lived with our mother, and somehow I imagined us as characters in that '70s sitcom starring a young Valerie Bertinellithree women on their own, making it One Day at a Time. But the reality was that we saw my father every Sunday, and my sister and I got everything we neededand a bit more. We both had our Jordaches.
What I absorbed from my parents about money were two strands of thinking that have knotted in me to produce a distasteful psychology I'll call "aggressive hoarding." My father always had an air of being slightly ripped offnot forlornly so, but pugilistically: A person has to do what it takes to survive, even if it means cutting a few corners. (Perhaps this attitude stemmed from his childhood, where the love was as scarce as the cash.) My mother, meanwhile, clung to every last centor that's what it seemed like. We knew somehow never to order the most expensive item on the menu; before grocery shopping, my younger sister and I watched her flip through a cache of coupons and compare prices among salad dressings or peanut butter. Certain foods, like shrimp, were luxury items, and she bought them only when the price was right. At department stores, she'd track a certain sweater or skirt through the season, waiting for the big sale; if it didn't happen, she went without.

In execution, this clever idea is far less funny than the original, "Killers From Space," which was directed by W. Lee Wilder, the vastly less talented brother of the great Billy.
The would-be cult classic Don't Ask Don't Tell may be a "refried film," but that's no excuse for stale jokes.
Hauser and Miles go for broke, lobbing their every comic idea at the screen. Some work better than others, and overall tomfoolery like this is a matter of taste.

MORRISSEY: Cubs need not rethink letting Ryne Sandberg go
BY RICK MORRISSEY firstname.lastname@example.com August 16, 2013 9:56PM
Ryne Sandberg
Updated: September 18, 2013 6:13AM
Now that the Philadelphia Phillies have named Ryne Sandberg their interim manager, I'm sure some Cubs fans are saying, ''I told you so.'' But that would be an appropriate response only if the Cubs had announced to the world that Sandberg would never be a big-league manager. They just said he wasn't for them.
The reason fans wanted Ryno as skipper here had to do with nostalgia, which is the recognized currency in Wrigleyville. Remember how good Ryno was in 1984 and 1990? Remember his two-home-run game against the St. Louis Cardinals' Bruce Sutter? People get wistful just thinking about the Cubs' Hall of Fame second baseman.
The Phillies replaced Charlie Manuel with Sandberg on Friday, and like a trade that benefits both teams, this move was good for both the Phillies and the Cubs.
But it was best for Sandberg.
If Cubs president of baseball operations Theo Epstein had caved in to fan pressure and named Sandberg manager before last season, poor Ryno would be in the middle of the mess the franchise finds itself in now. He would be knee-deep in what Dale Sveum finds himself in. It's why Sveum would be better off wearing fishing waders instead of spikes. It's why if Sveum survives this, it will be a miracle. Count your blessings, Ryne.
No one is saying Sandberg is inheriting a fun-filled pool party in Philadelphia. At the time Manuel was let go, the Phillies had lost 19 of their previous 23 games. It's going to be a tough job for Sandberg, but he has won everywhere he has been as a minor-league manager.
What irritated many of us was the idea that it was somehow preordained the Cubs job was Sandberg's once he decided he wanted to be a manager. And I'm sure the idea irritated Cubs management over the years. Just because you want something doesn't mean you get it. And just because fans wearing oversized Harry Caray frames wanted Ryno, so what?
Will Sandberg be a good manager at the big-league level? Part of that has to do with how much talent the Phillies have. Going into their game Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, they were 20½ games out of first place in the National League East. But general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. surely will be looking at how Sandberg, private and soft-spoken as a player, communicates with his troops.
The Sandberg situation had been a trap for the Cubs. Don't hire him and you look like you're trampling team history. Hire him and you don't really know what you're getting as a manager. Worse, you could have a fan uprising on your hands if their beloved favorite doesn't work out.
The Cubs did not miss the boat in letting Sandberg go. They waved as the boat sailed away. It was the right move.

Current Articles
By Bob Humphrey
Whoa! Where'd he come from?" I didn't remember looking away, but I must have because a very large buck now stood where seconds earlier the space was empty.
"Shooter." The word popped into my head. I knew it. I might have even said it aloud, for the buck turned and glared at me the way they do before they're about to bolt.
Frantically, I fumbled for my rifle, propped it on the shooting rest, put my cheek to the cold synthetic stock of my custom Model 7 XCR and found the deer in my scope. "Stop," I told myself. "Don't be hasty."
I had three good reasons not to be. The first was buck fever. Thirty-plus years of chasing whitetails, and I still get that intense adrenaline rush whenever I see a buck. Over time, it's gotten better, but to this day I occasionally whiff because I don't take that extra second to settle my nerves before jerking the trigger — another bad habit. Forcing myself to gain control also gave me a chance to realize the deer wasn't going anywhere … yet.
There was no need to be hasty, despite what experience had taught me. My philosophy has long been: "Take the first clean shot opportunity you get, for it very likely could be the only one." It has become instinctual, born out of hunting extremely pressured deer on public land. If and when you saw a good buck, or any buck for that matter, you had to react quickly. Hesitate even for a fraction of a second, and your deer would be gone. But this wasn't public land, and these deer weren't pressured. "Be patient," I instructed myself.
Then there was the minimum. Ugh. During our orientation the previous day, outfitter Susan Schigol was going over the camp rules. "We have a 150-inch minimum," she said. The words hit me like a bucket of ice water. "Whaahaaa?" I thought, somehow managing to keep my jaw from dropping to the floor and my eyes from bugging out of my head. Had anyone bothered to look, they would have recognized the panic on my face.
"Just my luck," the thoughts rolled. "Here I am in Saskatchewan, land of the giants, a place where there is a legitimate chance of shooting a 150-plus buck. But it's also nice to know that if one doesn't show up, I can 'settle' for a 140 at week's end — a little insurance policy." No, not this time. I doubt it would have changed my mind about going there. Still, it would have been nice to know ahead of time.
When you put everything into perspective, my dilemma wasn't so bad. For starters, I was in Saskatchewan, the land of deer hunting dreams, where really, really big bucks roam. According to the biological principle known as Bergman's Rule, "Warm-blooded animals living in cold climates tend to be larger than animals of the same species living in warm climates." November temperatures in Saskatchewan typically run in the single digits or even below zero, and a mature buck weighing 350 pounds on the hoof is not unusual.
That 150 minimum seemed particularly unreasonable at first, but it, too, had an upside. Wayne and Susan Schigol, who run Great Grey Outfitters near Meath Park, have exclusive hunting rights to a large area. That allows them to control the number and size of bucks taken. Hunting pressure is light, so they're not overshooting. And with a 150-inch minimum, they ensure there will always be a bounty of mature bucks. This year's "non-shooter" in the mid-140s will be next year's 150. The 150s that elude this year's hunters will be next year's 160s. And yes, there are 160-class bucks taken every year at Great Grey.
Trading riflescope for the Nikon Premier 10x42s, I asked myself, "Is he mature?" I hadn't expected the minimum, but I knew I'd be looking for a mature buck, so I'd studied the distinguishing characteristics. First I looked for a neck that blended seamlessly into his shoulders. This buck had no neck, just shoulders extending to his head. If deer could play football, this one would have been a lineman. "What about the rest of the body?" I thought. "Does it have that characteristic strong but sleek racehorse look of a 3 1/2-year-old? Nope. He looks more like a steer."
I could clearly see the point where the bottom of its belly line met its rear legs. It was a straight line, with no upturn toward the groin. This was certainly a mature buck. The adrenaline started to rise again, and my trigger finger started to twitch, but there was the unexpected minimum looming.
Thanks to years of experience hunting and scoring whitetails, I knew what to look for there as well. At least 10 points? Check. Good mass? Main beams past its ears, and with bases bigger around than its eyes? Check, and check. P2s at least 10 inches long? Check. "Okay, I'm pretty sure he'll make it, but it's only the first day."
That only muddied the waters. My previous two trips to Saskatchewan were eerily similar: Shooter bucks tempted me within the first hour of both hunts. It wasn't easy, but I passed up the shots. Then, for two more days, I saw nothing even remotely close to a mature buck. In both cases, the first-day shooter finally reappeared late in the week and came home with me. Could I count on that kind of luck a third time if I saw nothing bigger? Would this buck give me a second chance? Or, would I sit for days, possibly in sub-zero temperatures, ruing my decision if I let him walk?
This buck was noticeably bigger than the other two. "Never pass up a buck on the first day that you'd shoot on the last day." If I had a dollar for every time an outfitter or another hunter in camp told me that, I'd retire from my "real job" and hunt for a living.
I lifted my binoculars one more time and studied its chocolate-brown rack and deep chest. My mind switched back and forth between images of sitting for hours in bone-chilling temperatures with the hope a bigger buck might come, and hours of contented boredom back at camp, placated with a successful, albeit brief, hunt.
It's amazing how fast the mind works. In the time it took you to read the last paragraph, everything else you read before that flashed through my mind. It took a minute, maybe two to weigh all the variables, consider the options, size up the deer; then seconds to make the decision. I settled the cross-hairs on the buck's vitals and my mind went blank. Conscious thought ceased and instinct took over. A moment later, the buck lay still.
Field-Judging Whitetails
Most Saskatchewan outfitters have minimums for their bucks, which in most cases means being able to tell the difference between 3 1/2- and 4 1/2-year-old (and older) bucks. The younger buck might, at first glance, appear mature. It often will carry a big rack and be thickly muscled, with the appearance of a well-conditioned racehorse. Once a deer reaches 4, it stops growing, and surplus energy goes to body and antler mass. It, too, will look muscular, but less like a horse and more like a bull. In particular, look at the following features:
A thickly muscled neck
3 1/2: distinct junction between neck and shoulders
4 1/2: neck blends into shoulders
3 1/2: narrower, so chest appears deeper
4 1/2: forms a straight line as deep as chest
Antler Spread
Tip-to-tip distance between an adult buck's ears in a relaxed or semi-alert position is approximately 15 inches (16 in a northern buck). Look for antler spread outside the ears.
Beam Length
Beam length is highly variable, and rack shapes can vary considerably. However, looking at a buck's profile, a mature buck's beams should generally extend beyond the eye (16 inches), and often to the tip of the nose (20 inches).
Beam Thickness
Look at the bases. On a mature buck, they will be as thick as, or often thicker than, the diameter of the eyes. Also look for how far that mass is carried along the beam length.
Number of points is a poor indicator of age, but the more the better. Anything less than 10 should be looked over very carefully. Also look at tine length. Some things that will help your score include brow tines of 6 inches or more (compare to ear length) and P2s of 10 inches or more. Next, compare the P3s and P4s.
Dress for Success
A Saskatchewan deer hunt can be an endurance test; you might sit for 10 hours in sub-zero temperatures. In order to win, you must be comfortable. Layering is critical. Start with a heavy or cold-climate base layer of moisture-wicking synthetic material. Over that, add your first insulating layer of wicking material, something like wool or fleece. The third layer can be a combination of insulation and protective outerwear. That means a jacket and pants or coveralls lined with poly or down insulation. Down offers a more lightweight option in dry conditions, while synthetics will continue to insulate when wet.
This outer layer should also contain a waterproof, breathable laminate. Controlling personal moisture is crucial to comfort. A wet body loses heat much faster than a dry one, so you need to wick moisture away from your body. You build up sweat walking to your stand, then sit all day. If you're wet, you'll never be warm.
Just as important as your body, perhaps even more important, are your head, hands and feet. Wear heavy insulated boots, and don't wear them too tight. Air space is what keeps warmth in. You can also bring hand and foot warmers. Another option is to bring boot blankets — like little sleeping bags for your feet — and change into them once on stand. Insulated glo-mitts — mittens that convert to gloves by folding over the fingerless tips — are a good choice for your hands, as is an insulated handwarmer muff. You should also wear an insulated fleece or wool cap; and you might want to bring a facemask as well.

A letter to Dom
Dear Dom,
All mortals have one common fate, that one day or another we have to depart from this material world. In spite of the fact that particular symptoms and signs were visible,the departure of a person still brings about grief and a sense of emptiness. In this sense, rightly so, we all feel that we have been orphaned as Dom Mintoff had great influence on the shaping of our nation, especially after the Second World War period up to early 80's.
Dom Mintoff has dominated the local political scene for over 70 years and undoubtedly he has been one of the leading political figures of the last century. His vision to transform our island, from a fortress island serving the needs of our colonial masters and massively economically dependent on jobs generated by their military presence, into a proud nation equally to all nations, certainly was the fundamental underlining inspiration throughout his political career.
The poverty and physical devastation of the Second World War within the surrounding inner harbour towns and villages certainly ignited his quest to focus all his energy to alleviate the standard of living a give the much deserved dignity to the working class. A working class that at the time did not enjoy any rights whatsoever, were poorly paid, uneducated, lived in sub-standard housing and were without any prospects for them and their families.
'Integration or self-determination' was precisely inspired by the fact that we are either considered as equals as our colonial masters or else we seek our own way on how to become a nation and prosper. The building of new schools to educate the working class and the long and rugged way for self-determination, characterized the years 1955- 58 when he was in office as Prime Minister.
A convenient way of how to hold control over colonies was to 'divide and rule' adopted by the British colonizers and this reached its peak in the 60s when Mintoff and his Labour Party had to face the mortal sin imposed by the local archdioceses. Throughout this black period in our history, Mintoff and all Labour Party supporters were persecuted, humiliated and demonized. This is the price they had to pay for their firm beliefs in the freedom of expression, the freedom of association and civil rights and liberties.
The years that followed, Mintoff was once again in office as Prime Minister and it was precisely during these years that poverty was eradicated, substantial improvement in the standard of living was made, slum clearance programmes were created, new housing estates were built, extensive works with regards to the development of infrastructure were conducted, a new air strip was built, AirMalta and SeaMalta were set up, a new Freeport was built, university courses fees were removed, telecommunications were widened, a welfare state that cares for everyone was developed, national health care was created, the country became economically independent, local commercial banks were strenghtened, the military base closed and above all, the working class was given the dignity it deserves. The security of foreign aid to develop economically a strong nation was fundamental in the building of a modern country.
The transformation brought about by their vision and mission shapes the dimension of a political leader and his/her place in the history of a country. The grandeur of Dom Mintoff as political leader is unquestionably reflected in the way he transformed and reformed the whole country especially throughout the 70s. Surely he was a visionary, reformist, a great thinker, communicator and doer. Similar to all leaders, there were those who throughout his political career admired him to the extent of associating themselves as 'Mintoffjani' and others who were at odds with his vision and ways of implementing particular policies. For being a true patriot, a socialist who had at heart the interest of the working class and for believing in social rights and liberties, Mintoff as leader of the Labour Party was persecuted and demonized by those who believed that he was a communist, anti-clerical and despotic.
Dear Dom, the spirit you ignited years ago and the movement you led to alleviate and ameliorate the standard of living of all working people, the sincere patriotic love for our country and securing social rights and liberties should continue to form part of our guiding light. Your patriotic maxim that united this movement for many years of 'Malta l-ewwel u qabel kollox' shall continue to earnestly inspire us to work for our country to become a strong modern nation in Europe.

UFFFFF last scence was jsttt owsumeee….over aal drama was good…
isi ka wait ker rha tha kab say
kitna waila ho gaya hon mein yaar,, OH GOD, itna waila, aik dramay ka wait ker rha tha.. so sad HANI
I agree ^
girls ki itni buri baat ni, boys ki buri baat ha n specially unki jo abroad hon
agr ap ko pta hai k ye itni buri bat hai to na bethen waile koi or kam kar len…..ye kam to bewakuf ka hota hai jise sach pta bhi ho or wo phir bhi us per amal na kare….:P
Who says this is for foolish people! We should understand the nostalgia one undergoes far away from ones homeland and people simply cannot realize the importance of this asset which is an accomplice to Pakistani expats especially when they are very alone.
okkk ap thik keh rahe hain but mister hani sayed ka ye point nahii hai….wo ye drama dekhte waqt apne ap ko farig yan bekar bethna consider kar rahe hain…..zara halat ko samjhen or phir bat karen ok
very well man… in logon ko kch pata h ni jo pak mn rehty han n kbi bahir ni aye kay admi kaisay kaisay period sy guzarta ha , n usko ktna dard hota ha apny mulq ka itna shayad unko ni hota jo wahan rehty han,, but kia realize krwana jab woh niklay h ni mulq say bahir
agr itne hi hamdard ho apne mulq apne parents apni family k to jao na koi kam karo tumhare lie to ye drama time ka waste hai na to kun waste kar rahe ho time………..n excuse em from dubai but no tum or DM kafi bewakuf ho…….kahan ki bat ko kahan le gaye
yar ap pagal ho , ya psycho, apnay kaam say kaam rakho, fazool mn chawalain na maro.. ap boht zaheen ho na , to khush reho n apny kaam say kaam rakho,
o me jst mazak hi kar rahi thi…ye DM hi bat ko kahan se kahan le gaya…no em wrong yahan per kisi se mazak karna bhi fazul hai……muje bhi shok nai ap sb se bat karne ka
to shayad ap mazak life mn pehli baar ker rhin han, kafi bhonda mazaak kertti han, mazaak kerain, kisi ko baiwaqooof na kehain, n i don't know ap bandy ho ya bndiii, agr bandi hotin n mjy pata hota to mn woh comment na kerta…any way peace n hapy
hmm, u r right bro.
ohhhhh apne country k bare me itne hi serious ho na to sab se pehle urdu me bat karo jo national language hai….itni si bat se to apne country ko represent kar nai sakte bat karte ho khub ul watni ki….
I understand this argument has angered you to such a degree. But dear, we are not here to disucss personal matters. And we all should follow some ethical regulations coz we all represent Pakistan in our comments.
hemi means half, kia ap haaaaalf he?
jee to mn konsa einstein hon, baiwaqoof h keh rha hon apny app ko
sorry I didn't get your point?
what difference does it make whether you are living abroad or home ? o_O
while living abroad u have responsiiblities and expectations from you parents and family that u must be utilizing ur time well in term of studies if u r sent for study purpose or if u went for job then doing job hard and full in order to support them or in order to make better life not wasting time on dramas or movies thats why I felt little bit bad when i am just waiting and watching fiction dramas who doesnt bear mere resmeblance from our real life.which is completely wastage off time..
That's true! I see where you are coming from.
but you cant be studying/working 24/7. there's always some room for entertainment and to relax. and I was only joking around no need it to take it serious !
Oh i c.. u still awake, abi tak soyi ni ho.. jao so jao tmhry husband wait ker rhy hon gay bed per tmhara
so kon serious lay raha ha, mjy pata ha mjh per koi asar b ni hona wala,, dheet hadi ban gaya hon mein
No brother, plz dont think so. Koi buri baat nahi hai, chahay boys hon ya girls. I appreciate boys watching Pak dramas rather than spending time at clubs and partying.
Not everyone has a family here, many are students here and many work but live alone. So, this is a good piece of entertainment and staying in touch with our values and decent entertainment.
yeah thanks for understanding, i can guess u understand that western culture well , u must have been lived abroad i guess
oy abrod k bhram na jmao, abroad wale he wailay hote he,

I agree that cuteee is shoo shweetttt…
loveeeeeeeeeee u sila
selha is so cute nd preety
Awesome yarrrrrrr Adil k sath hona hi aysa chahya tha jo insan achi wife r sachy payar ki qadar ni karta wo zoya jaisi larki k qabil hi h :/ uffffffff maza a gaya bs ab silah khuda k wasty kabhi wapis na jana us k pass
OMG such a gr8 episode…. I just loved the expression of zoya when she saw sila as Adeel's MD…
Wooow it was awsome when sila entered ….adil wad soo shock
Stupid adile
nice episode . but sila should never help this couple now.
owsam episode……… especially last scene…………… looking sila so cute
last scene is superb only sanam jung
great great great kia bt hai dunia kitni choti hai insan kahi b jay waps wahi ajata hai jaha say chla hota hai nice v nice
Sila was looking pretty in yellow dress.
tum girls ko dress ke elawa our kuch nazar nahi ata. sila is pretty in all dresses .
Kon, Sila ya dress?
OH GOD, kia scene ha last wala, kamaal expresssions diye han, and i just cant' realize how much embarace they must be feeling… but yaar sab kch yeh dramaz mn h hota ha, i wish aisa realities mn b hota hota… ::)
^embarass *
hehe true, thanks , mn nay embrace likh dia which means hug kerna galay lagana
zameer zinda ho to real men b ho jata he,,,,,, or jo kch adeel k sath zoya krti he na, us ki himat he k guzara kr rha he, wo actually sila se ziada khud se embarrassment feel kr rha he
True bi, zoya jaisi biwi meri ho to mn to pehly din hi chala jaon ya usko nikaal don, but koi women aisi ni hoti, women are really sweet and charming creatures .. men should treat with pure care and affection and unki bus har haal mn tareef n pyaar kerty rehna chaye

Woooooow waiting for episode 18 !

You are right. Shuru waley scene main jo glasses thay usmain sheesha nahi tha. I noticed too! But later he was wearing ones with glasse.

acting main to as such nai han sila main ahem ahem ahem…..
What does ahmers dad say in the next episode? Does he ask ahmer to propose to Sila… Sila wont go back to adil as its pretty obvious
yes I think he wants Ahmer to be with Sila. I dont want sila to be with Adil either. he doesn't deserve her.
Itll ruin the drama if they get back together… cant wait till next episode

kya song dedicate kia he janab ap ne……… sanam sanam sanam ki tasbih prh di :):):)
what aaaaa draaaaaaaamaaaa o teri wala scene ho gaya ha
jab drama main saal guzar jatey hain toh hero ko chashma q laga dataey hain,,, humsafar main be jab saal guzar gaye toh fawad ko chashma laga deya ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, keya chashmey sa insan barra ho jata hain…..
you snatched my words.. i was also thinking the same
lol you answered your own question, it is done to indicate a long time has past and they are now older. simple
actually jo log tnsns men rehty hn unki eye-sight weak ho jati he, that's the matter with fawad in hamsaar and imran in dil-e-muztar, they both live in depression and tension……..simple
acha toh dil-e-muztar main sanam jhang aur humsafar main mahira khan bhi toh tnsns main thi ,,,, unhain toh chashma nahi lagaya gaya
And humnasheen main choti dulhan k
sanam jung best drama and awesome acting boht boht boht achi lag rahe then aap and affan boht boht cute hai and adeel k sath bilkul sahi hua a sa hi hona chayie. . . . ? ? ? ? ? ? boht acha hai drama……..
last scene was just awesome.
maza a gya drame main to twist ab aya hai,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
you know what guys…….when Adil said to Zoya that:"Suna he koi khatoon hen"…………I thought it must be Sila……….i dont know why……………….
u r einstine mate….keep it up
exactly mein ny b yahi socha tha
Sila shouldn't go back to Adeel, he doesn't deserve her. He already did so much wrong with her. He took her for granted and did not appreciate her sacrifices. Sila deserve a man like Ahmer sahab so it would be stupid decision of her if she chose Adeel over Ahmer Sahab!
koi ALLAH ka khouff kia kro tm girlzs ki pta nhi kaise gundi souch hoti hai abhi tk wo adil ke nikkah main hai or kisi dosry maard se shadi ka pahly hi souchna bhi nhi chahye.jhan koi ameer admi daikho tm girlzs ki neet khraab.kia garuunty hai keh ahmer jaisa shakhs os ko deserve krta hai baad main bhi
Very True…. Sila se shaadi se pehlay Adeel bhi "HERO" tha
Syeda tou Ahmer ki Guarantee de rahin hain :p
in islam it say even if a man marries more than once he should treat all his wives the same. In this situation Adeel did not treat her the way he should have. He neglected her constantly. It does not say anywhere a girl has to suffer in silence. Adeel should have given a divorce a long time ago, but she wanted to keep a hold of he. His intentions were selfish and immoral. Sila should definitely get a khula.
but in islam, it is more than everthing to 4give others and sila and adeel were the best companions so it is not wrong if sila 4gives him and adeel doesn't divorce her becoz unintentionally he was waiting 4 her………….IT'S JUST LOVE ASHY……… and we should 4give those who r special 4 us, sila has no feelings 4 ahmar sahb, she just give respect and care to him becoz he is a very very nice person, agr hm saza ki bat kren to sila ko apny father ki bddua ki wja se itny dukh mily, sila ko Allah ne ajar b d dia affan ki surat men,,,,,,,,, adeel b itna arsa tnhai or becheni ki sza kat chuka he jo usy Allah ne dy di to jb tqdeer or khuda sb muamly handle kr rhy hn then why should we give punishment, sila jesi lrki ko muaf krna hi suit krta he na k sza dyna ………… AND IT IS THE MATTER OF OUR LIVES NOT ONLY OF DIL-E-MUZTAR……………muaf krna behtareen amal he, sila adeel k ilawa ksi k sath khush ni reh skti
Please re-read the comment above Katty. Firstly A child should never be deprieved of a father mainay ye kahe nahe kaha kay afaan shouldn't know his dad. That is necessary and I believe sila should have told adeel about their child. Forgiveness is necessary, but don't forget the Prophet SAWS said: "The best among you is the one who is the best towards his wife" [Hadith, Muslim]. Also Adeel constantly proved otherwise. It now depends on sila what she chooses, forgiveness does not mean going back to the person who caused you harm. Adeel WAS unjust you can not deny that. Secondly Allah, the Almighty says: "And it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that
you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know."
(Al-Baqarah, 2:216), so what is there to say that what sila wants may not be good for her and the person infront of her is better. Life isn't just about gaining what you desire the most or what you LOVE in the duniya, its about a series of trials from which we learn from. And Finally i did not say sila should 'marry' ahmar, please!, read carefully before making assumptions.
waqai guarantee to ksi ki b ni di ja skti, is lye ik naya tjrba krny se behtr he k wo patch up kr lyn
qasim n star sahab…. shadi wo adeel sy khula lekr he kregi ahmer sy,,,ap be fikr rhen… aur jesy ko tesa,,,, adeel dont drv sila
in islam it says even if a man marries more than once he should treat all
his wives the same. In this situation Adeel did not treat Sila the way
he should have. He neglected her constantly and didn't even tell her of his second marriage. It does not say anywhere a
girl has to suffer in silence. Adeel should have given a divorce a long
time ago, but he wanted to keep a hold of her. His intentions were
selfish and immoral. Sila should definitely get a khula. It is not about girls seeing a rich man and 'niyat ka karab hojana' it is about seeing someone for who they really are. Adeel nay na insaafi ki hai and this is why he has a miserable life and is continuously left wondering what he left and what he has got.
absolutely r8
Qasim sahab aapnay apni soch ki akasi ki hai apnay comment main. Aap pesay kay pujari hai is liye aapnay ahmer sahab ka pesa dekha or esa comment kiya.
Mainey ahmar sahab ka character or personality dekh ker unki taraf dari ki hai bcoz character is more important to me. Jiski jesi soch hoti hai woh wohi chez dekhta hai or dosroon ko bhi apnay jesa samajhta hai!
excuse me.. u dnt have r8 2 say grlz like dat
itna rudel deserveness ki bat q kr rhi hn????????????? ZNDGI GULZAR HE men hm ne muaf krna seekha he to ab q ni???????????adeel ne jo kia , usy uski sza mili,,,,,,,,,, ktni udas ankhen hn uski jesy sb kch chin gya ho, muaf krna sekhen syeda q k Allah pak b hmy muaf kr dyty hn, ye hi asal zndgi he. sza dyny or insaf krny wali zat uper bethi he jo ksi k sath b na insafi ni krti. drama k lehaz se ni,real life k lehaz se bat kr rhi hn. be patient to others
Haan tou sila maaf kerday adeel ko liken mafi denay ka yeh matlab nahi hai k dubara us shakhs peh etebar kiya jaye jis nay bar bar dil dukhaya hoo. Maaf ker dena alag bat hai or 2nd 3rd chance dena alag. Mafi main yeh shart lazim nahi k aa bell mujhay dubara mar! Her kisi ko haq hai apnay liye acha sochney ka or sila k liye ahmer jesa nice shakhs hi suitable hai.
ahmar is nyc but he luks so old
i agree syeda
gorgeous sila…… her amazing face expressions and fabulous acting….. just wanna say love you….. <3
she really deserves our love……………. what a sweet way of talking. mjy to ishq ho gya he sila sister se………. kash hm sb lrkyan esi hi hotin……….itni hi loving, caring or sweet, its not her appearance but her inner beauty that attracts our attention
Bht acha drama ha afhan bht sweettttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt ha bs aise hi chlta rhe tou bht ht jaye ga
zoia was looking a begger hahahaha.
in a last scene sila was looking awesome.
she is always awsome……itna sweet sa behavior he uska k dil chahta qurban ho jaun lekin adeel…………………………wht a stupid man, jb shadi krty hue shrmnda ni hua to ab kun sir jhuka rha tha
ab drama men aya twist ab maza aye ga dekhny men zoya looking so idiot
ummmmmmmm great yar
Sanam is so Amazing Acting.Imran Ist Amazing.This Drama is Amazing.
Sanam and Imran are The best Acting Ever!!!
poor Adeel:(
Uski wife itni Stupit e.
He deserves it because he is a jerk!
somehow you've also right, but he does still leit me: (
sila k bache ko qatal kia to us ki saza hai jo zoya ko olad na howi
sila is very innocent and talented woman……….really.
Can't wait for the next episode now!
Drama has gotten interesting….still a little dragging…but good…what I don't understand is the wearing of fake glass with no lens…Adeel in some shot has the lens in and some he doesn't….soo stupid and fake looking…I think he would be fine with out the glasses
this a fail attempt to look more older

Awesome drama,outstanding acting of Zoya,Sila and Adeel.He is so irresistable I am sure Sila still has a soft spot for him especially when her son mentioned about his Papa.I hope she doesnot marry Ahmer as it will ruin the essence of drama.Poor Adeel who had to struggle from an early age.He should not be penalized for misunderstandings created by Zoya to ruin his married life.Zoya and her mother are the trouble makers,they should pay the price for their wrong doings especially overdosing Affan

After months of sometimes angry debate, California education officials are set to take up rules this week aimed at making good on Gov. Jerry Brown's promise to invest in the state's future by overhauling how public schools are funded and directing more money to the neediest students.
The State Board of Education plans to vote Thursday on emergency regulations that spell out how school districts may use the $18 billion in new funds expected to flow to them in coming years based on the number of students who are low-income, learning to speak English or living in foster care.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks rose Thursday on evidence that the housing industry, which has been in a four-year recession, is coming to life.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel's reiteration of European Central Bank President Mario Draghi's vow to do whatever is necessary to save the euro also buoyed stocks, pushing major equity averages to their biggest gains in nearly two weeks.
"We feel committed to do everything we can in order to maintain the common currency," Merkel said at a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper during her first bilateral visit to the country.
Technology was also a bright spot for the broad market, with Cisco (CSCO) surging 9.5% on the heels of an above-consensus quarterly profit and a surprise 75% dividend boost.The Dow Jones Industrial Average traded up 85 points, or 0.7%, at 13,250. Dow winners were ahead of losers, 22 to 8. Aside from Cisco, the biggest blue-chip gainers were 3M (MMM), American Express (AXP), Caterpillar (BAC) and Home Depot (HD). Wal-Mart (WMT) was the biggest percentage decliner in the Dow after the world's largest retailer edged Wall Street's profit expectations in the latest quarter but came in light on revenue and narrowed its full-year earnings outlook. The S&P 500 closed up 10 points, or 0.7%, at 1,416, moving within 5 points of the four-year closing high reached in early April. The Nasdaq rose 31 points, or 1%, at 3,062. The strongest performers in the broad market were the consumer cyclical, basic materials, technology, capital goods and conglomerate sectors. Only the healthcare sector was in the red. Winners were ahead of losers by a 2.5-to-1 ratio on the Big Board and a 2.3-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq. The Commerce Department said Thursday that housing starts in July were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 746,000, which was 1.1% below the June estimate of 754,000. But building permits last month jumped to a four-year high at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 812,000, which was 6.8% above the June rate of 760,000. Economists on average had predicted that housing starts would show an annual rate of 757,000 and that building permits would come in at a 770,000 annual rate. "Evidence of a recovery in the housing market being sustained is continuing to pile up," said David Onyett-Jeffries, an economist at RBC Economics. "Even with today's reported modest decline in the pace of housing starts in July, new-home construction maintained its underlying upward trajectory with the six-month moving average reaching its highest level since December 2008." In addition, the Labor Department said initial jobless claims for the week ended Aug. 11 increased by 2,000 to 366,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised figure of 364,000. The four-week moving average was 363,750, a decrease of 5,500 from the previous week's average of 369,250. Continuing claims for the week ended Aug. 4 fell 31,000 to 3.305 million. Economists surveyed by Reuters on average were expecting initial jobless claims of 365,000 and continuing claims of 3.3 million. The Philadelphia Fed's business outlook survey was slightly worse than expected, coming in at negative 7.1 vs. the consensus view of negative 5. Abroad, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said during an inspection tour of the eastern province of Zhejiang that there's still more room for monetary easing in China thanks to cooling inflation in the country, according to state media.

Collapse of budget talks deals new setback to EUBy JAMES KANTER
and ANDREW HIGGINS
THE NEW YORK TIMES | November 24,2012AP PHOTO
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso speaks during a media conference after an EU summit in Brussels on Friday.BRUSSELS A summit meeting of European leaders collapsed Friday amid bitter discord over a new budget for the European Union, delivering a further blow to a 27-nation grouping already struggling to contain a debt crisis, social discontent fueled by rising unemployment, and doubts about the long-term viability of the euro currency.
Leaders abandoned efforts to set the shape of a trillion-euro long-term budget and called for a new round of talks early next year to try to reach a deal.
Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain, who along with the leaders of the Netherlands, Sweden and several other countries had pushed hard for deep cuts, blasted proposals that left spending on the unions administrative machinery intact.
This, he said at a news conference, showed that Brussels continues to exist as if in a parallel universe, referring to the headquarters of the unions institutions.
The refusal to trim bureaucratic costs, which amount to about 6 percent of total spending, is insulting to European taxpayers when many governments are slashing spending, Cameron said.
The impasse after two days of negotiations was the second failure this week in Brussels.
European finance ministers met all night Monday without reaching agreement on whether to release the next round of emergency aid to Greece, where unemployment is around 25 percent.
Herman Van Rompuy, the president of the European Council, who convened the summit meeting and called off the negotiations rather than prolonging them through the weekend, said that the European Unions budget has to be balanced and well prepared, not in the mood of improvisation, because we are touching upon jobs, we are touching upon sensitive issues.
We should be able to bridge existing divergences in the new year, Van Rompuy said.
Much of the attention at the meeting focused on Cameron, who rallied a group of other countries in favor of deep cuts to the Multiannual Financial Framework, a seven-year spending plan.
Disagreements over where the ax should fall left France and Germany on different sides, disrupting a Franco-German tandem without which significant deals in Europe rarely happen.
France defended payments to farmers, who make up around 40 percent of the current budget, but insisted there was no rupture with Germany.
I dont only defend the position of France, but the position of Europe as a whole, President Francois Hollande said at a news conference.
The negotiating marathon over the budget is held every seven years. The focus on hard cash tends to push national interests to the fore and swamp talk of European harmony, a cause for which the Norwegian Nobel Committee last month named the European Union as the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
The budget, which amounts to about $168 billion per year, goes mostly to subsidize farmers and support regional projects in poorer member states, policies that were originally intended to help bind Europe together and mute the economic discord that in the past fueled antagonisms that led to bloody wars.
But differences in economic performance and in priorities between member states are huge, pushing them to embrace starkly divergent agendas in budget talks.
In large measure, this is because what began as an economic bloc comprising six similarly developed market economies in Western Europe is now a 27-member body that includes 10 much poorer Eastern and Central European nations that were part of the socialist bloc.
As well as divisions between east and west, there is also a big gulf between northern countries, especially Germany, and so-called Club Med states in the south like Greece, which, burdened with huge debts, is struggling to keep its economy afloat and avoid social unrest.
There are still important differences on a number of key issues, especially the overall size of the budget and the fairness of distributions between member states, Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, told reporters as the summit meeting broke up Friday afternoon.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Natural gas, the nations most prevalent heating fuel, is getting cheaper just as...

Gardner gets commitment from Appropriations Chairman to work on wildfire recovery funding
WASHINGTON D.C. – After working tirelessly to help Colorado communities affected by wildfires, Congressman Cory Gardner (CO-4) was able to secure a commitment from Chairman Hal Rogers (KY-5), head of the powerful Appropriations Committee, to support funding for Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) in future legislation.
Last week, Gardner also offered an amendment to add additional funding to the EWP program for states that suffered from designated natural disasters, like Colorado. The EWP program allows for watershed and infrastructure restoration and would help areas affected by the High Park and Wald Canyon fires protect their drinking supply from debris runoff.
"The devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy is extraordinary, but it's also important that disaster assistance be available to other areas that experience natural disasters especially when it comes to federal lands," Gardner said.
Rogers agreed with Gardner's assessment and assured him that they could work together to address this funding issue in future legislation. The pair's exchange can be watched here:

It's Just 22 minutes north of the Kona International Airport, on the Kohala Coast where the sun shines year-round.
The Town Home:
Designer owned, decorated and managed, we have put great care and consideration into our immaculate, new home. It's impeccably furnished with much attention to detail.

For our guests with children, you can travel light! We have our own kids and have stocked the condo with necessities: pack n' play, jog stroller, high chair, books, games, and more for your convenience and use during your stay. Please be sure you let us know so we can have items ready for you.

Keywords: Town Home Condo
We moved to Big Island from the Bay area in January of 2009, for a number of reasons. The main one being to live in such a beautiful, safe place and be able to spend more quality time with our family. We love Big Island! We live in Waikoloa Village (10 minutes up the hill from Mauna Lani), so we are able to visit and care for our vacation rental as a second home, and be sure it's kept in immaculate condition. This also allows us to be here for our guests if they need anything during their stay (or my husband can take them out golfing - such a tough job!) He loves it and so do our guests! They get spoiled with his discounted owner golf rates.
Kimberly Castro purchased this villa in 2007
We previously had a vacation rental in Waikoloa Beach Resort, and we really like the less crowded feel of both Mauna Lani, and especially The Golf Villas. We have the largest floor plan, the masters, and there are only 5 units in our entire building. No one is located above us (this makes a huge difference in peace, quiet, and privacy). We wanted to be close to the Beach Club (just a short beach cruiser bike ride away), and we are. We have included beach cruisers for our guests to use. They are so much fun! His/her golf clubs are also included for our guests use.
We get to use the amazing beach club (which I feel is the best place to snorkel on the island). Our unit is very private. We chose the location of our unit, and waited for its release in the last phase of building, because of the way it's situated and its privacy (no other buildings close by). We have a Bose surround sound, DVD's, CD's, books, games, toys (for kids), outdoor kitchen, and fully equipped town home for everything you should need for the ultimate luxury, relaxing vacation. Our master lanai with double chaise is absolutely perfect for reading, napping, or having your morning coffee or suset drink.
