About January in New York City

The Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree is lit until 8pm on January 7, 2015 and everything is on sale in the stores! The only catch? January can be freezing, so layer up with hats, gloves, scarves, heavy sweaters and your best waterproof boots.

Here is the problem with Sivir.
She is theoretically a great champ, she has all one would need, but suffers from some major flaws.
The first of which is her attack range, it is below average, meaning in competitive games, other adc's can kite her.
Second is her Q, Boomerang is slow, so competitive games can dodge atleast one of the two boomerang hits. Also, hiding behind minions makes the boomerang essentially useless, as it will sustain so much damage reduction before making it.
Third is E, the spell shield. It is blatantly obvious, and unless you live on the west coast, you have to preemptively activate it, but this throws a red flag and good players will ignore you until it fades(Notable exceptions are Ashe, Cait, Karthus, due to slow/obvious abilities). This means when playing against good players, you are constantly out of mana, unless you want to do less damage by going manamune.(You can trick players with a banshee veil tho)
The W skill is only somewhat useful...This is only greatly useful for maxing out a manamune and farming minions. Sure it offers an attack reset, and a TINY damage boost on the first hit person, and rare lucky last hits when chasing, but all in all, it is basically just a great farming tool, poor overall damage dealer. A simple low damage dot would be more effective in last hitting, which isn't luck based and doesn't take up a skill, so i wouldn't even count that.
Her R is great. Although it doesn't overcome the problems with all the other skills, it does buff your team so they can do what they do, only faster :P
This may sound hypercritical, but it isn't. My main is Sivir, i play her more than any other champ, but because i love her play style, not because i like a high kdr xD, but she is unquestionable(in my humble opinion) not as good as other champs in almost any scenario you can think of, other than specific lane countering. It is sad, but almost anything sivir can do, another champ can do better, or atleast, do it while staying more rounded.
Edit: My idea for a Sivir buff is not to buff ALL of these problems, but either creatively coming up with something that makes them not so bad, or buffing one of them.
Either change boomerang to damage reduce only when moving back to you(still less late game output than other champs can put out), increase her attack range to an average level, or something creative.
My creative idea is to make it if you have w enabled, Q will proc her w on the first thing it hits.
Senior Member
She is probably the safest pick in the game for an AD carry, she'd be more popular if her ult wasn't so team reliant. Like the only time I will consider her a good pick is when I have a mid lane who benefits from at least MS. Like Kass, Fizz, Diana, Kha. because when I get Oriannas, and Vlads, or jungle Fiddles they don't need those stats in team fights.
Although i'm not saying the ult is bad, just puts her in a niche
I have seen Sivir in ONE game in the last 6 months...
I think a remodel/retexure with new particles would be plenty. The animations are kinda wonky and hard to notice sometimes. I can't count the number of times I've taken a Q to the face because I thought it was just another auto attack.

What the….Fresh?! There is a frosty chill in the air as the "Icy Cool Breath"-maker Wrigley tries to block fellow gum maker and competitor Perfetti van Melle from registering the trademarks "WTF" and "What the Fresh" in the U.S. Wrigley is concerned the marks could be confused with its Winterfresh brand, and claims that they are too similar. Maybe Perfetti is treading on thin ice, but would you be confused?
Jaguar's On the Road to EV Town: Or so we think. Recall that "Intent to use" trademark registrations filed at trademark offices around the world allow peeks and guesses as to a company's future endeavors (remember Apple filing for Apple Watch in Trinidad and Tobago?) On October 30th, Jaguar sparked rumors when it filed for the mark "EV-type." Auto experts seem to think the combination of "EV" and "-Type" mark a potential move into electric vehicles. We can't be sure, but we'll keep our eyes on the road for further indications.Continue reading...

Crayola Sees Red Over Crayons: Hallmark Cards' Crayola brand filed suit in Kansas City (Hallmark's hometown) on Nov. 4 accusing New Jersey-based Alex Toys of using its name. The case involves the use of the word "crayola" on Alex's crayon wrappers and packaging such as the crayon tub above. Crayola wants any Alex materials using its trademark destroyed and a monetary reward for damages and legal fees.
According to the suit, "The CRAYOLA mark has been used since at least as early as June 31, 1905 by Crayola and Crayola's predecessors in interest with respect to the CRAYOLA marks on goods including, without limitation, crayons, chalk, crayon sharpeners, markers, modeling clay, art kits, art supplies, art materials, and many others. The CRAYOLA mark was coined by Alice Binney, the wife of company co-founder Edwin Binney, from 'craie,' the French word for chalk, and 'ola,' from 'oleaginous,' meaning oily." Now you know.Continue reading...

Dunkin' Donuts settles the Cronut debate, calls it like it sees it: In this case, the chain's croissant-doughnut hybrid is definitely not a Cronut, which we all know is the trademark of Monsieur Dominique Ansel. Rather, Dunkin' Donuts decided on a purely descriptive naming approach, and christened its new pastry the "Croissant Donut." While Ansel received plenty of criticism for asserting rights to the word Cronut, this situation serves to perfectly illustrate what a trademark is and is not. A trademark is a name associated with a specific product from a particular provider; it is not an attempt to monopolize the actual product or how that product can be made. As Ansel puts it on his Facebook page, "McDonald's has a burger named the Big Mac and Burger King offers one known as the Whopper. Neither prevents the other from serving up a hamburger."
Meanwhile, brand and trademark folk will gladly weigh in on the merits of "Cronut" (a suggestive name) vs. "Croissant Donut" (a purely descriptive name). While there should only be one Cronut for this type of pastry, the Dunkin' Donuts "Croissant Donut" will have to contend with versions from Jack in the Box, Japan's Mister Donut, Rich's Food Service, Disney (available at Epcot), and Moe's Doughs Donut Shop in Brooklyn—to name just a few.

Just as New York-based pastry chef Dominique Ansel is launching his new book—called, fittingly, The Secret Recipes—comes news that Dunkin' Donuts is launching a Croissant Donut, which sounds an awful lot like Ansel's now-trademarked Cronut.
Only, as the Associated Press reports, Dunkin' doesn't want anyone calling it a cronut.
As John Costell, Dunkin's president of global marketing and innovation, told AP's Candice Choi
"that bakers around the country have been mixing doughnuts and croissants for at least 20 years. He said Dunkin' is constantly tracking consumer and bakery trends and has been looking at pastry 'combinations' for several years now. 'Are we copying a specific bakery in New York? The answer is no,' Costello (told AP)."
According to Choi, the Not-a-Cronut will be available in November for a limited time at $2.49 each (vs. Ansel's $5.00 Cronuts), and follows the brand's test of "a croissant-doughnut in South Korea it dubbed a New York Pie Donut" last year.Continue reading...

Less-than-robust trademark protection by brands can result in the needless spending of a lot of money on legal fees—and even personal "heartbreak."
That's the lesson of a cautionary tale about a lack of trademark vigilance told by the Trademarkologist website in the case of a dispute between Gilt Groupe, the giant members-only discount retailer known for its "flash-sale" business concept that operates Gilt.com, and Gilt, a tiny Portland, Oregon, jewelry store.
It seems, according to the site, that the name "Gilt" was first used by Paula Bixel's jewelry store in 1998. But while registering it with the Oregon Secretary of State, Bixel apparently didn't log the trademark with the US federal government, which wouldn't have cost much to do.Continue reading...

More than a billion pairs (give or take) of Converse Chuck Taylors have been worn on basketball courts around the globe, but now the 97-year-old brand is hoping it can pull out a few wins in a totally different court: the court of law.
Nike's Converse has filed suit against 31 companies, including such big names as Walmart, Kmart, Ed Hardy, Skechers and Ralph Lauren, claiming that its All Star trademark has been infringed upon and that imitations of its iconic athletic shoe must stop being sold, the BBC reports.
The legal action covers a lot of geographic ground since some of the companies are based in Australia, Italy, Japan, and China. In addition to the suits, Converse has also asked the International Trade Commission to ban imports and sales of the imitation shoes.Continue reading...

The lawyers at CrossFit are big on protecting the company's trademark. One lawsuit essentially put the Italian CrossGym out of business. It sued the National Strength and Conditioning Association for claiming that its program "causes injury at a high rate." And Outside magazine felt the ire of CrossFit when it published an article entitled "Is CrossFit Killing Us?"
Now CrossFit is tangling with a bigger foe: Nike. That behemoth's legal team is unhappy with a CrossFit gym in West Palm Beach, Fla., which Nike feels looks an inverted version of the Jumpman logo its Jordan Brand with Michael Jordan uses.
As the Washington Post reports, Nike has filed suit to put a stop to the image of the man balancing on a kettle ball at the CrossFit CityPlace gym. Nike claims the gym's logo will not only confuse but also causes "grave and irreparable damage."Continue reading...

Taylor Swift gets unlucky in law with "Lucky 13": America's sweetheart and her besties at American Greetings are battling it out in the courtroom with California-based Blue Sphere Inc. over trademark infringement and unfair competition for use of the name "Lucky 13," which AG used for a Swiftian sweepstakes promotion. Blue Sphere owns a company called Lucky 13, and holds registered trademarks bearing the name for clothing, jewelry and paper products. The judge dismissed Swift and AG's singing for summary judgment, so the case will move forward, and in a Swift-like way, she'll probably just "shake it off, shake it off."
Apple keeps USPTO busy: Between filing trademark applications for Apple Watch and Apple Pay, and patents for CarPlay, Touch ID and Deep Audio among others, Apple has been busy on the IP front. Apple Watch and Apple Pay came as a surprise, as the media-coined names "iWatch" and "iPay" never came to fruition. And yet, even though Apple Watch and Apple Pay are descriptive of the goods and services with which they seek registration, a no-no in the trademark registration world, they just may be able to see it through. By filing for design mark with their Apple logo, and disclaiming any right to use the words "PAY" or "WATCH," they have added a distinction to the marks.Continue reading...

Value Investors Should Relish G Willi-Food InternationalValueStreet Research • Thu, Sep. 18 • 6 Comments
- WILC is an Israeli importer and distributor of Kosher non-perishable foods.
- The founders, legends in the Israeli food industry, recently "cashed-out" in a complex transaction, with limited clarity over the future of the business or even the price paid.
- Our base case scenario assumes no revenue growth and provides 50% upside.
- The new major shareholder may use the balance sheet cash to expand the business internationally, resulting in 190% upside if growth efforts are successful.
- Currently trading at $7.07 per share with a conservative liquidation value of $6.36 per share.
Willi-Food: A Ridiculously Cheap Food CompanySteffen Jørgensen • Sat, Aug. 16 • 17 Comments
- Israeli Willi-Food is a ridiculously cheap food company trading at 4.5x EV/EBIT and 0.9x P/B despite consistent profitability.
- At $7.3, the shares trade at a small discount to the company's net-net value, including non-current liabilities. A rare sight for such a profitable company.
- The company has no debt and $63 million in cash, constituting nearly 70% of the company's market capitalization.
- A recent buyout of the ageing management has been carried out at multiple times the company's current market value.
G. Willi-Food: This $6 Food Stock Is A Bargain For Activist InvestorsPRO • Hawkinvest • Fri, May. 30 • 14 Comments
- This stock is way too cheap after a disappointing earnings report. Investors appear to be overlooking a major cash horde and buyout potential.
- With a cash horde that is equivalent to about half the current share price, downside risks could be limited and the company could be a takeover target.
- A billionaire recently took a major stake in this company at a significant premium, and this could lead to a 100% takeover in the future.
- A spokesperson for the billionaire also made comments that indicate major expansion potential into the USA, which could increase revenues and profits.
- With the shares now at oversold levels, this stock appears due for a significant short-term rebound, but longer-term investors could see much more.
Willi-Food International Should Be Taken Private For A Potential 100% GainPRO Top Idea • Lares Capital • Sat, Mar. 22 • 34 Comments
- Willi-Food International was already trading at a large discount to its fair value.
- The market misinterpreted the owners share sale to an investment group as "an insider sell".
- The new owners should take the company "private" easily realizing a tremendous gain.
G. Willi-Food International, Ltd. News Creates A Buying OpportunityWilliam Garrison • Wed, Mar. 5 • 27 Comments
- G. Willi-Food International, Ltd. executives elect to sell their shares, creating some anxiety about the future leadership and direction of the company.
- The new owners have a history of investments in the food industry and hopefully plans for further international expansion.
- Fourth quarter results will be reported in two weeks. I'm expecting a soft report, but i continue to see substantial upside over the next twelve months.

U.S. Junior Trophy Team Third Overall at ISDE
International Six Days Enduro - Saxony, Germany
The 87th running of the International Six Days Enduro in Saxony, Germany, concluded with the traditional motocross test, except this year it was more of a Supermoto, since 40% of the track was asphalt.
Mike Brown flew the flag for the Americans by handily winning the E1 finale, beating Frenchman Rodrig Thain by over 10 seconds.
In the E2 race, Thad DuVall was the highest placing American in seventh, while Charlie Mullins' time put him into eighth, although he won the heat that he was seeded with. Kawasaki riders Destry Abbott and Taylor Robert were 12th and 13th respectively in today's E2 division, with Andrew DeLong in 25th and Kurt Caselli 27th after suffering a first-lap crash.
In the E3 race, Russell Bobbitt and Jesse Groemm both suffered bad starts, with left them at the back of the pack heading into lap one. Bobbitt managed to work his way up to 19th by the end of the race, while Groemm finished 26th. With both Rachel Gutish and Sarah Whitmore out of the race, Mandi Mastin was the lone U.S. Women's Team member to race today, and she finished 13th in the Women's heat.
At the end of the day, France dominated the week long event, claiming the World Trophy, Junior Trophy and Women's Trophy team awards, as well as placing riders in the top four individual overall standings. The U.S. Junior Trophy Team was tops among the American contingent, finishing third in their division behind France and Great Britain, while team member Thad DuVall finished an impressive eighth overall in the extremely competitive E2 class.
The American World Trophy team suffered problems form the get-go, with Kurt Caselli and Russell Bobbitt suffering injuries on Day One. Meanwhile, Charlie Mullins was added to that list when he separated his shoulder on Day Three while running in "Top American" status. The Yanks started finding their groove on Day Five, when Mike Brown won the opening test of the day. Meanwhile, Mullins edged out Caselli by a few seconds to win the third test of the day.
Kawasaki's Taylor Robert ended the week as top American, finishing a respectable seventh in the E2 division.
In the end, the U.S. World Trophy Team finished the event in sixth place, while the U.S Junior Trophy Team was third. Mandi Mastin was the only member of the U.S. Women's Trophy Team to go the distance, after Rachel Gutish houred out and Sarah Whitmore dropped out due to injury. Mastin finished the event 10th overall in the Women's division.
Next year's Six Days will be held in Sardinia, in the Mediterranean, on September 30th through October 5th.

The Asaf Jahi's left a legacy of a lifetime, in the Nizam's State Railways.
This summer how about taking a ride on the MMTS on a route that was once part of the Nizam's State Railways? It will throw many pleasant surprises such as the quaint James Street station near the busy markets in Secunderabad or the lone track behind the verdant "Bagh e Aam" or Public Gardens in Nampally. It is on this route that coal fuelled engines pulled the bogies of the royal entourage.
Vital links
"The British set up tracks from the port cities to other parts of the country to expand the network into the various Princely states like Hyderabad, which was then ruled by the Nizam," says Mr. Sambasiva Rao, the Chief Public Relations Officer, South Central Railway. So, the first proposal for a railway link into the Nizam's territory was sent to Nasir ad-Dowlah Fakhundah Ali, Asaf Jah IV. However, it was during the reign of Mahbub Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VI that this link was realised. It was finally taken ahead and improved by Mir Osman Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VII.
The Nizam's Guaranteed State Railway Company was set up at London in 1873.
The first railway line in the Nizam's dominion was constructed between Wadi and Hyderabad and was opened to traffic in 1874. "The local MMTS service, which ferries passengers in the twin cities of Hyderabad and Secunderabad, uses these tracks and stations," adds Mr Sambasiva Rao.
The Asaf Jahi's surely thought ahead of their times. The railway network is one of the legacies that they left behind.

As I mentioned starting back in June, Mitt Romney's campaign has one message that (in my view) Romney and his allies should stick to all day, every day, from now until November 6. That message is:
- The economy is broken;
- Obama can't fix it;
- I can.
Clean, simple, pure. And an impressive GOP ad, which I can't find online at the moment*, takes just that approach. "He tried" -- with a photo of a beleaguered Obama. "You tried" -- congratulating the nation on its pluckiness in hard times, and also on being open-minded enough to give this untested non-white freshman Senator a chance. "It's OK to make a change" -- no one will think the worse of you for pulling the plug on this unsuccessful experiment.
Whether you're for Obama or against him, you have respect the power and directness of this approach. So why did Romney let himself get into extended arguments this past week about the cultural-vs-structural origins of national wealth and poverty? It's hard to see which voting bloc they bring to his side, easy to see the complications they create, and all too evident that they use up campaign time that could be devoted to The Main Message, as above.
The possibility I raised a few days ago -- that these misadventures reflect badly on Romney's basic skill level as a politician -- was bolstered by the astonishing NYT op-ed yesterday from Jared Diamond. Diamond's famous book Guns, Germs, and Steel was of course half of the intellectual fodder Romney cited for his "it's all about culture" argument -- the other half being David Landes's Wealth and Poverty of Nations. The point wasn't that Diamond completely disagrees with Romney's reading of his book -- though boy does he ever, as you'll see if you read the item. Rather it was that Romney went this far out on a limb in citing Diamond without, apparently, having anyone check with, make a call to, attempt to charm, attempt to quiet down, or in any other way try to fend off further distractions involving a writer who is still very active and whose email and direct phone line are listed on his university web page. (I know because I once reached Jared Diamond that way.)
In the past day there has been another illustration. Sen. Harry Reid kicked off this round by suggesting a solution to the mystery of why Mitt Romney had not released back tax returns. Reid claimed that a one-time Bain investor, whom he wouldn't name, had told him that Romney was reluctant because in fact he had paid no taxes for a ten-year stretch.
This is a big claim, and if Reid proves to be wrong everyone should pile on him. And it presents Romney with an opportunity and a challenge. Opportunity: if he can prove that the claim is wrong -- and that Reid is wrong to have broadcast it -- then he turns the Bain/tax issue to his advantage. Challenge: proving that point, while still not releasing his returns.

3.0 out of 5 stars Detailed but flawed
Similar to another reviewer, I regrettably didn't find much new in this work on the First Anglo-Afghan War. Perhaps I was hoping for too much. However its a systematic and comprehensive narration of the events and as such does the job well.
What gives the book it's bulk, and which I found a tad annoying, is the never ending quotes that fill almost every page...

5.0 out of 5 stars The ghosts of the present haunt this book about the past.,
The ghosts of the present haunt this book about the past. William Dalrymple is far too an intelligent and subtle a writer to make too many overt references to the currennt War in Aghanistan but The Return of A King cannot help but resonate in light of our recent invasion of Afghanistan.
The book is grand in scope, encompassing court life, the Great Game and military history. Dalrymple's thumbnail biographies and marshalling of his material (which balances pace with detail) are excellent. Unlike most accounts of the retreat from Afghanistan the author gives due weight to the stories of Shah Shuja and Dost Mohammed. It seems that the author has uncovered some new sources to do so too.
Although I'm a fan of reading books on kindle, I would recommend you buy print copy of this book. The plates are superb and numerous.
A tremendous book. If just half a dozen History books come along this year which are the equal of this we'll be fortunate.

5.0 out of 5 stars What we forgot,
David (Dublin Ireland) - See all my reviews
If you start at the end, you will see how William Dalrymple assembled a prodigious mass of documentation (listed in the bulky bibliography that follows) including not only English (-language — for many of the protagonists were Scots or Irish) printed and manuscript sources, but a plethora of hitherto neglected Persian (-language — Farsi was the language of the Kabul court) documents culled from Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.
If you start at the beginning, you will see this drama contains a formidable dramatis person� ranging from Lord Auckland and Shah Shujah to Lady Sale's cat. Their actions and interactions are recounted in a masterly and authoritative style.
It is not, in some senses, a satisfactory drama; as in proper tragedies, the characters have flaws; they have also remarkable qualities, and the cross-cultural communication in a colonial situation, though marred by many misunderstandings, does reveal substantial skills in the British — ranging from a good knowledge of Persian (Farsi/Dari), an interest in archaeology and history, and a genuine ability to know and appreciate the new cultures they encountered …
The first Afghan war was based on a mistaken belief that British (actually, East India Company) interests in India were about to be undermined by a Russian invasion of Afghanistan, so it was determined to replace the acting ruler Dost Mohammed by deposed Shah Shujah. The Shah's very legitimate claim to power was, for his countrymen, undermined by his association with unbelievers, and the British underestimated both their and his unpopularity, and failed to support him.
So it was that the British deserted him in his hour of need, and were thoroughly routed in an ignominious retreat. Nearly all the interesting and worthy characters die a miserable death.
'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it' (Santayana?) — this dictum is sadly applicable to the Afghan case, where the British have now waged four unsuccessful wars. Dalrymple is keenly aware of the ironies of history, and notes that Hamid Karzai is of the same clan as Shah Sujah. It is said he has read Dalrymple's book, and it would be fascinating to know his comments.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb,
My book of the year so far, superbly-written history with lots of new information (it baffles me how other reviewers can say there is nothing new here, when Dalrymple has tracked down a number of important but previously unexamined primary sources). The story is given equally from both sides, a welcome change from some previous histories. The level of balance is admirable. A fabulous amount of information is given in a fast-paced narrative, I enjoyed it enormously. There is some confusion about some of the dates - for example, we are told in several places that Shah Shuja was born in 1786, but he is described as being both a "sexagenarian" and "in his late 50s" in 1838. But that's a minor quibble, this is a remarkable and superb retelling of this ill-fated expedition. Given the huge number of similarities to Russia's experiences in Afghanistan the 1980s and the UN's currently, I think Dalrymple is remarkably restrained in his use of analogies.
Incidentally, I think the review of this book in "History Today" is perhaps one of the worst, most biased and deliberately misleading I have ever read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good read,
Gavin Mcewen - See all my reviews
I am not a reader of academic history books. I ordered this because of good reviews and a general interest in Afghanistan. When 576 pages of hardback arrived with dramatis personae, notes, bibliography, glossary and index, I though I had maybe bitten off more than I could chew. Not at all. It reads well and I found it difficult to put down.
One eye opener for me was to find out how literate 19th century Afghanistan was. Dalrymple looks to sources on both sides of the conflict. So often accounts of British colonization are based on British documents with an occasional dash of oral history from the other side. In this book, we learn just how our forebears appeared to those they attempted to colonize.
In this account, two cultures comprehensively misunderstand one another leading to tragic consequences. There are a lot of lessons in it for today. We assume that other cultures have the same goals and attitudes because they share our technologies and trade with us or, if they don't, it's because of a lack of development. The Afghans mistakenly believed that the adventurers and civil servant they dealt with were princes whose word could be trusted and who could deliver on promises of support. The British saw the Afghans as a mix of gentlemen and brigands only to discover that the gentlemen were in no sense gentle and that the brigands were not outcasts from society but a proud people living a traditional way of life with a strong sense of honour and fair play.
My only quibble with this book is that I would like better maps. I frequently turned to the three small maps provided to help understand the text only to find the places were not on the map.
I recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant !,
sgeoff (North Wales) - See all my reviews
I've read many accounts of the first Afghan War - this is the best, and possible the history book of the year. It's always readable, and full of interest from first to last, bringing out the full complexity and tragedy of the events of 1839-1842. The variety of sources, and words of those involved, make the action and people very real. The sheer stupidity of the British leadership in engaging in a totally unnecessary invasion, against the advice of those who best knew Aghanistan and its people, ended up being costly in lives and money and as a humiliating failure. The British army of retribution, which brought such death and destruction in response to the earlier loss, did nothing to restore Britain's reputation. Shar Shuja is convincingly portrayed, despite failings, as a more effective character than often thought, and far more loyal to the British than they were to him. Sadly, the many parallels with today's western involvement in Afghanistan are unavoidable and reading the book reminded me that political leaders should be compelled to read good and relevant history before embarking on lengthy foreign adventures. This excellent book should be necessary reading for those already interested in the topic, but could be enjoyed by anyone who likes good narrative history brought to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Plus Ca Change...,
This review is from: Return of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan (Kindle Edition)
A very exciting account of the political and military blunders and miscalculations that got Britain ("England" in the terms of those days) involved in this ill-starred invasion of Afghanistan in 1840. Not only are the characters well drawn but their various motivations and ambitions are also convincingly described. The Afghans themselves, whilst often courageous, are as untrustworthy and treacherous then as they often appear to be today. Loyalties are bought or coerced freely; torture and cruel forms of execution and punishment commonplace. Hatreds between tribes, clans and families are as intense as a universal hatred of all foreigners,especially infidels. Religion and calls for Jihad were used then as now to stir resistance against the invaders.
The incompetence and vacillation of the enfeebled General Elphinstone and his deputy, not to mention the fatal miscalcalculation of MacNaughton, are only too redolent of some of the miscalculations and tactical blunders that have been made in Afghanistan over the last several years.The horrors of the retreat through the snows of a bitter winter, continuously harassed and ambushed by savage and well armed tribesmen, are vividly described.
The Afghans continue to hate both each other and all foreigners and we have no business being there, any more than we had in 1840.
A great read; and hopefully a salutary reminder to leave this country well alone in future!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasury of Pain,
Merlin's Owl (Norfolk Bayou) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Return of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan (Paperback)
This is a phenomenally well researched and well written book but the temptation to compare the modern intervention in Afghanistan with that of the First Afghan War is too much. I do see some parallels but think that it is a bit callous to equate our recent casualties fighting a very real threat to those who died fighting a phantom menace for the East India Company 170 years ago.
My motivation for reading this was my annoyance at the legion of bar-room philosophers who tritely say that Afghanistan cannot be conquered. This book dispels that myth twice over - firstly with the conquest and secondly with the Army of Retribution. The issue seems to be not that Afghanistan can't be conquered but who can afford to hold on to it? The tax revenues of Afghanistan and India are mentioned and the expenses the Company was also expending fighting the Opium Wars and appeasing the Sikh Kingdom which lay between India and Afghanistan.
The subject of honour seems to be pivotal to this story. The poorly-led British betrayed an ally to save their skins but in so doing revealed their lack of honour which led to their demise. But, I see the Afghan's sense of honour as merely a matter of business and greed. Mr D clearly knows and sympathises with the Afghans but I still see them as bigoted, untrustworthy zealouts who will flock to the highest bidder (for a while).
This is a brilliant book which tells a balanced story and builds foundations around the causes of the Indian Mutiny, the Crimean War and the Sikh Wars. Mr D has discovered Afghan histories of the war which shed new light, for us, on their perspective about major British players and their unity. I can wholeheartedly commend this book and would strongly recommend the hardback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fills in the background to a modern conflict,
Plucked Highbrow (West Yorkshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Return of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan (Paperback)
In 1839 an expeditionary force entered Afghanistan, deposed the ruling family and placed their own choice of king on the throne. Over the next three years that force was harassed, attacked and eventually driven out of the country at devastating loss of life and humiliation.
The invading force was British and their motivation was to do with the relationship between Afghanistan and Russia. However the local tribes disliked the British more than they disliked each other and chose to work together to restore some form of independence for their country. Starved of supplies and facing a harsh winter the British choose to retreat over the Khyber Pass, some were fortunate to be captured and held as hostages, others were less fortunate. Eventually the British regrouped and invaded from India to wreak their revenge but the first Afghan War was a lesson for the British Empire.
Fast forward nearly two centuries and Afghanistan is still an area fought over. The Russians invaded in the 1980s and were driven out by the western-sponsored Taliban, now the Taliban are the enemy and the intertribal warfare still continues. The roots and the background to the modern conflict are evident in the events described in this book.
William Dalrymple has produced a meticulously researched account of the first Afghan War. He has used source material from all protagonists to great effect, no-one is a hero and some terrible decisions were made.

4.0 out of 5 stars We have Been Here Before,
Dr Barry Clayton (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The author has a deep knowledge of Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. His latest book is very well written, pacy and informative. There are numerous books available about the Anglo-Afghan Wars. These are wars that writers about the current misguided Fourth War in Afghanistan find it very hard not to refer to even if many of the analogies with today are invalid.
I am pleased to see that the author in an after-note concedes that the First Afghan War was not futile. Many writers have made the error of saying it had no military or political benefit. The reforms we introduced proved in fact to be very valuable.
Of course, it is very easy to find resonances with the current war. Several people who fought in the First War on returning home wrote about, for example, the lack of purpose, the incompetence of senior military, and stated that our evacuation in fact resembled a retreat. 89% of the last 55 books on the present conflict (written by retired military, retired diplomats, journalists and academics) have been scathing about the conduct of the war.
The withdrawal of Soviet troops after the Soviet invasion failed to achieve its objectives is frequently and wrongly viewed as a disaster. Recently released documents show it was not. It was in fact an orderly withdrawal decided upon by the Politburo after much analysis. It is a pity NATO forces have not carried out a similar exercise.
It is interesting that Dalrymple shows how the Pashtuns (then known as Pathans)of Kandahar and Helmund were, as now, at the heart of the mid-19th century war. As now, assassination, ambush, and superb Afghan marksmanship were commonplace.
While it is wrong to draw too many similarities from that war with the insurgency today,it would undoubtedly have been beneficial if today's military leaders had spent a little more time studying the history of this war-torn, poverty-stricken land. But then, sadly, history has never been a popular study for the military hierarchy.
This is a book well worth reading. I have not given it 5 stars because there is very little in it that is new about the First Afghan War. Read with 'Flashman' it will pass the winter nights rather well.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read,
David Steele (United Kingdon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Return of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan (Kindle Edition)
A wonderfully sourced and written story of a tragic political and military blunder. The main characters, in this retelling, are all fully described with attributes and failings detailed as is the impact of their decisions and actions on the outcome of this misadventure.
All through the story is the backdrop of Afghanistan with wonderful descriptions of its beautiful yet harsh geography.

I too have a August Niemeyer in my family lineage. My ggg grandfather was August Heinrich Niemeyer who lived in and subsequently died in Blair in 1897. He was born in 1820 and was originally from Wesbeck, Neustadt on Rubenberge, Hanover, Germany.
Would love to discuss the possibility of a connection.

AMC's Kendall Returns to Pimp Rylee Luke Kerr August 3, 2010 All My Children, Promos & Previews 12 Comments General Hospital isn't the only ABC soap getting a popular actress back in August. All My Children will see the return of Alicia Minshew as Kendall. They've even released a "Kendall's Back" promo. While it's nowhere as good as the "Brenda's Back" promos highlighting Vanessa Marcil's return, I can't help but wonder which actress' return fans are looking forward to most. Watch the "Kendall's Back" promo after the jump. 12 Responses Katiebug9624 August 4, 2010 I LOVE Kendall, but I am not watching another round of Rylee is each others true love crap. I might record and fastforward but hell Kendall having that baby for Greenlee was more entertaining than Rylee blah! Log in to Reply AllmyDaysatGh August 4, 2010 Kendall's return story is so upsetting, but I just can't help but still look forward to seeing her back on my screen! I LOVE Alicia Minshew and Kendall, and can't wait to have her back on AMC. Hopefully, this story goes by fast and maybe Kendall will finally get a story of her own like she deserves. I am crossing my fingers that AMC won't keep her stuck to Ryan and Greenlee til the end of time. AM deserves to play out a story of her OWN for once. Log in to Reply TV Gord August 4, 2010 As long as the world revolves around that dumbass Ryan Lavery, I will never return to watching this unwatchable soap! Why do the idjits in charge insist on trying to recapture something that never was! Gillian and Leo are dead. The loves of their lives are long gone, and this will never be even close to a suitable replacement. It's a shame that someone of Minshew's caliber is being brought back to prop up another Lamery deification. Log in to Reply gush900 August 4, 2010 Amc has been boringas hell without Alicia around.All i can say is sunny days our here again kendell has been missed Log in to Reply TmontyB August 4, 2010 [quote=TV Gord]As long as the world revolves around that dumbass Ryan Lavery, I will never return to watching this unwatchable soap! [/quote] OY! I hear you!!! I will take Todd Manning (and I despise Todd) over Ryass Lavery any day! Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 August 4, 2010 Where are all of these secret fans who are championing the TIRED and uninspiring coupling of Rylee??? I have only met ONE person who actually drinks the rancid Kool-Aid that the networks have been passing around for the past few years. I did like Rylee at one point, but it's like any FORMERLY good coupling that has run it's course—you must simply turn the page and move on. And I don't necessarily get the Ryan Lavery hatred that many people express, (I have always liked Ryan and Cameron Mathison) but I do think that Ryan and Greenlee are TOXIC together!! Why the writers on AMC can't come up with any creative and new couplings is BEYOND me. Their idea of new and creative is "Ryan and Madison"…UGH!!! Log in to Reply bladgley August 4, 2010 UGH, the return of All My Kendall Log in to Reply Daniel Pearce August 4, 2010 There's actually a longer promo that's pretty similar to the GH promo model that's out. It's really good. http://www.youtube.com/abcallmychildren#p/a/u/1/oj9y3M85vFw Log in to Reply goyankees August 4, 2010 Proud former follower of this crap show (final episode: Pole Dancing at work) BEST daytime TV viewing decision I've ever made. AM is too good for this show. Why couldn't she follow Thorston's lead and bid farewell forever? I hope this awful show is worth a bi-coastal marriage & commute. (it's not) I hate "All my Children" cuz it once was so good. I gag when I see Ryan & Greenpee… Log in to Reply CarlyCfan August 4, 2010 God, i was hoping they would keep my Kendall away from GreenMe. Log in to Reply mariaca August 4, 2010 I can not wait untill Kendall's return, a have missed greens and kendalls friendship, I am so happy she is helping greens with david, and hopefully i will get my Rylee back soon. Log in to Reply Dariclone August 4, 2010 I love Kendall, but I honestly don't believe that Kendall would still be proping Rylee! Last time, it sort of made sense because Greenlee still had genuine feelings for Ryan, but now she's clearly move on, her relationship with David's proved that. And if she wants Greenlee back with Ryan just to get her away from David [who I don't understand all the hate for by the way,] what kind of a friend is she?

If you have an interest in Auten/Aten history and you are a male with the Auten or Aten surname, who reasonably believes his Auten or Aten heritage is correct (ie, he is not adopted into an Aten family, etc.) would you like to participate in a DNA testing program?
The process is painless (a cheek swab) and free (the tests have already been paid for as part of the program) - all that is required is that you signal your interest.
If you are interested, or if you know an Auten or Aten male who may be interested, please respond to this posting.
We hope to hear from a good selection of candidates - there are many lines of Atens and Autens descending from the original ancestor who arrived in 1650 in New Amsterdam. However, of these lines many have not yet been followed back to their place in history. Do get in contact. nancy vose

To help investors hedge near-term volatility risks in their equity portfolio, the National Stock Exchange will launch its futures contracts on India VIX called 'NVIX' from Wednesday.
The NVIX contracts would be available in the existing futures and options segment on the NSE as well as for all existing investors in the segment to transact in it.
The exchange is aiming to tap into domestic institutional investor demand for equity futures and options.
In order to encourage active participation, the NSE has announced rebate ranging between 10 per cent and 40 per cent in transaction charges in respect of trades done in futures contracts on India VIX.
This rebate structure would be effective from tomorrow and would till March 31, 2014.
The exchange further said "based on the performance of the contract, the rebate structure shall be reviewed."
The NSE said if daily turnover in NVIX Futures reaches up to Rs 25 crore, it would provide a 10 per cent reduction in transaction fee.
In case, the daily turnover increased in the range of over Rs 25 crore to up to Rs 100 crore, then there would be 25 per cent cut in transaction charges. If turnover crosses Rs 100 crore mark, a 40 per cent reduction in transaction charges would be given.
The contract symbol for NVIX would be IndiaViX and three weekly contracts would be made available for trading.
The contracts would expire every Tuesday and the contract value would be minimum Rs 10 lakh.
The NSE, which constructed India VIX, started disseminating India VIX index in 2009.
India VIX indicates the investor's perception of the market's volatility in the near term. The index depicts expected market volatility over the next 30 calendar days.
A high India VIX value would suggest that the market expects significant increase in volatility, while a low value indicates the reverse. India VIX and Nifty has a negative correlation.
Keywords: India VIX, NVIX, Nifty, NSE, National Stock Exchange, volatility index, market volatility, NVIX Futures

Tank transport company relocates to Manatee
Date: June 1, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
Hawaii Intermodal Tank Transport is relocating its headquarters from Newport Beach, California to Port Manatee Commerce Center, the company announced today.
The company is consolidating its offices in Newport Beach, Calif., and Miami to a 23,000-square-foot office warehouse building located at Port Manatee Commerce Center. PMCC is a 23-acre intermodal property just outside the security gates at the entrance to Port Manatee.
"We are excited about attracting this new business to the Port Manatee area," said Kevin Button, PMCC operations manager. "Being located outside the port security gates but still contiguous with port property enables Hawaii Tank to simplify its operation — allowing truck drivers to pickup loads without having to enter port security."
Hawaii Tank got its start transporting milk from California to Hawaii and is now experiencing a great deal of growth in the orange juice market in Florida. Because of its uniquely designed tank container, Hawaii Tank allows transportation of up to 6,350 gallons per container of food-grade product delivered by land, sea and rail — without the need for refrigeration.
"By transporting bulk in our tanks, we give our customers numerous advantages over traditional methods such as drums and bins," said Bahman Sadeghi, managing member of Hawaii Tank. "Our Integrated Transport Solution (ITS) results in significantly higher payload, greater efficiency and convenience, a reduced carbon footprint, while still maintaining product quality and integrity for our customers."
Hawaii Tank has recently secured a long term contract with one of the largest orange juice producers in Florida. They will be looking into moving food-grade products out of Port Manatee to Europe, as well as Central and South America. The company is also evaluating potential synergies to move goods in and out of Mexico on Sea Bridge Freight, which operates a weekly barge service between Brownsville, Texas, and Port Manatee.
