I Wish I had found this place 2 weeks ago. I were in NEED to get new pot and pans. Everything in my kitchen was falling apart. I did as much reserach as I could and made a desicion.
I ended up ordering a set of SCANPAN that has:
I got it at Metrokitchen.com Now I found your site and the majority of you suggest to buy different pieces and not a whole set. Is there a reason for that?? The 2qt, 3qt and the Fry pan are pices that I use almost everyday and the dutch oven a couple times a month. The Saute pan Not as often. Out of all the Non sticks out there this was the only set that I thought would last me the longets. Based on some reviews I read. Should I stick with it or should I return it and if so then what should I go with??? I am used to Non-stick because that's pretty much what I have had. I have two pieces of stainless steel at home but I hardly ever use them. This is all so confusing. Thanks for your help. I seriously need pots soon. My old pots are all peeling off and the aluminum at the bottom is showing. I am very desperate. I have not used the Scanpan set yet (they arrived yesterday). The set looks very nice and it feels substancial ad unlike my old set the bottom is REALLY flat :o) Thank You Cat |

Some people don't feel you should purchase a cookware set, but IMO when you need to start from scratch a set gives you a base and you can build from there. From what I've read the scanpan non-stick is a good product. |
The major issue most people have with sets is two-fold -- either the material of which the pots/pans are made is not optimal for every task; or you end up with pieces in the set which are not as useful to you as, say, a smaller or larger piece might be. When I bought my Cuisinart Everyday, I was quite tempted to buy a set -- the prices per pot/pan are much better than buying from open stock. But I already had all the frying/saute pans I needed and I already had some Le Creuset I could use for the stuff it's good at. So, when I got down to the pieces I really wanted, either they were not part of a set, or I would have had spend money on open-stock cookware anyway. If you needed "everything" and you got it in the set, you got a good deal. Scanpan is decent stuff; I would not sweat returning it. You've done your homework; if it works for you the way you did it, great! |

It sounds like the set includes items that you know you'll use. Use them and let us know how they fare! |
I think some cooks prefer certain pans for certain tasks (I used to use cas iron for certain things, but quickly learned to do without when I no longer want to work with the weight of the pans. I think more people don't like some of the pieces in sets. Me, I never saw a use for a one qt. pan or a 7 inch fry pan. Everything in your set sound useful. I know several people here and one friend loves their scanpans. Enjoy! |
I have a ScanPan set that I've had for several years, and I personally don't care for it much. It takes a long time to heat up, is very heavy and gradually becomes less and less non-stick. I don't even bother using the frying pan anymore but bought a Calaphon non-stick that I use instead. The nice thing with the ScanPan is being able to use metal utensils, but I could easily live without that! It's not really hard to clean up, just not quite what I expect for non-stick. No non-stick surface to flake off though! |
Interesting. I read here that the Scanpan wok is the BOMB and so I ordered one. I just got it and haven't used it yet. Wondering now if I've made a mistake, based on the previous poster's comments. It was $100. |
Well, I've seen comments that the newer Scanpans aren't as bad at losing their nonstick. But then, they haven't been around as long, so who knows! But I sure as heck wouldn't cook eggs in them. |
You should do what you want to not put too much stock in random opinions about buying individual pieces versus a set. I think some take this opinion bc they are too cheap and/or cannot afford the expense all at once and need to justify this to everyone. I am sure there are other reasons as well. The manufacturers do a great deal of market testing and research before selecting the pans they will offer in a set. Also, sets can be cheaper than buying individually, which is another reason to do it. After remodeling the kitchen a few years ago, we bought a basic set of Al Clad stainless--Not the largest set - just a good starter set. It had a fry pan, two sauce pans, and a large stock pot. The stock pot and sauce pans had lids, which count as pieces, so it was considered a 7-piece set. I use every piece at least several times a week. After playing around with them awhile, we added 2 sauciers with lids, 2 more fry pans (a small one and a large non-stick), a saute pan with lid, a wok and a braiser with lid. We also now have about 20 pieces of Le Creuset, which is a fantastic product. Buying a basic set to get going and then adding to it as your needs develop is a great way to go, IMHO. L |
Lynne, I'm curious which you prefer for basic cooking, the AllClad, or Le Creuset? I'm looking at getting new pans for a new home, and not sure which way to go for stuff like basic sauce pans. I like the look of the LC, but one thing I don't like with the Scanpans is how long it takes for them to heat up and I expect stainless would be the better way to go for that. Not to mention the weight! |

I have a combination of Cuisinart stainless and Le Creuset. I use the stainless for things like boiling water for pasta, cooking frozen veggies, etc -- the things that don't require cooking for a long time. I don't have any non-stick, because I have parrots, and they can be killed by the fumes if the non-stick is overheated. I use the Le Creuset for braising, simmering, anything that takes a long time to cook. I also use their frying pan for scrambling eggs and making omelettes. It takes longer for the LC to heat than the stainless, but I have more control. The LC is also much easier to clean -- not quite as easy as non stick, but very close. Sue |
Interesting, I would not have thought of using LC for frying! It must be fairly non-stick then. That would definitely be a plus for me. |
Stainless steel is not a good conductor of heat, which is why Al Clad and other brands as well, have Aluminum cores. The SS gives them the beauty and non-reactive properties while the aluminum core gives them the conductivity. I really use both the Al Clad and Le Creuset constantly. For everyday making of sauces, boiling pasta, and frying, I use the AC. For making soups, stews, rice, and frittata, I prefer the Le Creuset. If I had to choose between the two for getting started, I would choose the AC, since it is so versatle--and not so heavy. That is what I did and then as time and budget allowed, I began to buy select pieces of Le Creuset. The Le Creuset is VERY heavy, which does not bother me, but as I get older, I am finding myself having to lift the pots with two hands instead of one. If you have not already done so, I would suggest that you go to the store and try lifting large pots of AC and LC for comparison. Lynne |
THANK YOU Very much for posting all your opinions. I guess I'll be keeping the set. BUT I'll be adding some other pieces to it from other brands/Materials. While REALLY cleaning my kitchen over the weekend I found some pieces of cookware that I had NO CLUE I had. I think my mom brought them over last time she came over to visit. All stainless steel (I think). the pieces are a big frying pan and a small one and then there are this other pieces taht I don't really know what they are called but it looks like is meant for you to cook different things on top of each other????? I a going to have to call my Mom and ask her. I couldn't tell the brand it has a big L on the handle. The handles are plastic. As for the Scanpan set I might come over later and write a review on it. So far I like it I amde omelletes the other day and it was rally non-stcik and so easy to clean. However I made spagettis last night and the stock pot took a little long to boil the water. Mind you I think I added way to much water LOL The place I ordered the set from gave me a pasta insert and I wasn't quit sure when stop adding water so once I put the spagetti in water started to come out LOL Was the first time I used an insert so now I know better. I hope next time it boils a little faster. I also read (AFTER i got the set) something about pots with the shinny bottom are not good to use in a flat stove???? Maybe taht's why my stock pot didn't boil the water fast enough??? Anyway THANK YOU a lot for taking your time and helping me out. Now I want a couple of the LC pieces :o) Cathy |

Yes, in my experience, a pot with a reflective bottom bounces back much of the infrared radiation from the element under the ceramic cook top (this is the same radiation you feel when standing next to a campfire). A pot with a matte dark bottom will absorb the infrared light and turn it into useful heat. When I switched from a bright-finished aluminum cookware set to dark anodized aluminum of similar thickness, I was struck by how much faster the dark anodized responded to the ceramic cook top. It was almost like cooking on gas in comparison. |
I too find that water takes *forever* in the Scanpan pots. I have a gas stove so not sure it's just the shiny bottom (mine aren't exactly all that shiny). It's one reason I would really prefer the stainless I think for a little more responsiveness. But of course, then you lose the nonstick properties the Scanpan has. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Amos!
Facts about Amos
- Breed: Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso Mix
- Color: Gray/Blue/Silver/Salt & Pepper
- Age: Young
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Amos's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Amos is a great little guys with a great personality. He would be great in any home.
Other Pets at Furbabies Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Amos, a Indian Trail Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso for sale in Indian Trail, or seeking a Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso dog from a breeder in Indian Trail.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Indian Trail already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Indian Trail breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso breeders who help with Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Indian Trail paves the way for another one to be saved.

Press Release
Illegal immigrant labor, politics, and business survival collide to challenge students' reasoning in the Eller College of Management's National Ethics Case Competition Oct. 27–28
TUCSON, Ariz. – October 27, 2005 – With WorldCom's Bernard Ebbers, Tyco's Dennis Kozlowski, and Adelphia's John Rigas all having been convicted of white-collar crimes, and with former House Majority Leader Tom Delay under indictment for money laundering and conspiring to violate election laws, it's easy to believe that ethical leadership is just a quaint idea, long dead if it ever existed.
The Eller College of Management at The University of Arizona (UA) has a better idea. On Oct. 27 and 28, the Eller College will host the National Ethics Case Competition — the evolution of last year's regional competition and a new high point for E-tegrity (for "Eller Integrity"), an initiative the College launched in 2003 to emphasize integrity and ethical behavior in its curriculum and culture.
"Our namesake, Karl Eller, has always emphasized the importance of integrity in business," said Paul Portney, dean of the Eller College. "That legacy has become a defining element of our programs, so it's fitting that we take ethics into the national arena with this competition."
To compete, students take on the roles of executives at a construction company faced with an all-too common dilemma — whether or not to use brokers that provide low-cost, ill-treated illegal workers, knowing that everyone else in their industry does it as a way to win contracts with lower bids. In oral and visual presentations, students weigh the burn of social, legal, and political heat against a seemingly fatal competitive handicap, identifying stakeholders, detailing the financial, legal, and ethical considerations, and proposing how the company should proceed. A team of judges questions teams after each presentation and ultimately selects the winners.
"These are the kinds of dilemmas that students today will face when they're in positions of leadership," said Paul Melendez, director of academic and external affairs for the College, lecturer in the School of Public Administration and Policy, and one of the primary organizers of the E-tegrity initiative. "This experience challenges students' ethical reasoning and raises their awareness of the importance and complexity of corporate social responsibility."
The E-tegrity initiative integrates coursework focused on ethics, guest speakers, technologies for detecting plagiarism, a student Board of Honor and Integrity, a code of ethics, and a student oath. In 2004 the College hosted a regional Ethics Case Competition. Since launching the program, the College has seen a measurable increase in the number of students reporting unethical behavior.
The competition will face off student teams from The University of Arizona and 12 other schools from across the country: Arizona State University, Brigham Young University, Oregon State University, Pennsylvania State University, San Diego State University, Seattle University, University of Minnesota, University of Southern California, University of Texas at Austin, University of Utah, University of Washington, and University of Wyoming. Major sponsors for the competition include the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Better Business Bureau of Southern Arizona, EthicsPoint Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, Integrity Systems Inc., and Target Corporation.
The Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona is internationally recognized for pioneering research, innovative curriculum, distinguished faculty, excellence in management information systems, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility. U.S. News & World Report ranks the Eller undergraduate program No. 11 among public business schools and two of its programs are among the top 20 — Entrepreneurship and MIS. U.S. News & World Report ranks the Eller MBA Full-Time program No. 48 in the U.S. In addition to a Full-Time MBA program, the Eller College offers the No. 25-ranked Evening MBA program, the Eller Executive MBA and the Online MBA. The Eller College of Management supports more than 5,800 undergraduate and 800 graduate students on the UA campus in beautiful Tucson, Arizona, and on its satellite campus in downtown Phoenix.

The vibrant highlighter accents on the Jordan CMFT 11 Viz Air are a perfect contrast to the black material construct, giving this shoe a leg up over other street shoes.

This is the first time I've tuned in for the live stream and probably won't again. Saying it started at 17:30 then having 2 hours of bs is pretty low. On top of that I sat through the entire preshow then watched all 4 games and never did see a redeem code. I think riot made a big mistake with the sneaky preshow not even saying the games wouldn't start for 2 hours I bet they lost alot of viewers in that time. Next time I'll probably just wait for the videos and not watch the live stream.

That's surprising, well at least to me! Well written article. |
Very surprising! Not only that they endorsed Obama, but how much they trashed Romney. I guess we'll soon be hearing that the Salt Lake Tribune is part of the liberal media from the conservatives here. That's assuming they bother to read the link. |

Wow, that's a big deal. Nice wrap up: Therefore, our endorsement must go to the incumbent, a competent leader who, against tough odds, has guided the country through catastrophe and set a course that, while rocky, is pointing toward a brighter day. The president has earned a second term. Romney, in whatever guise, does not deserve a first. |
Wow. I guess they're not Mormon. |

So much for the "love of Romney" in Utah, Salt lake City no less. The truth must really hurt. LIke a knife stabbed in and being twisted and turned. Wonder what his campaign and supporters will say about this endorsement and how they will twist it and try to make it sound better than it does. |
It is very surprising since Utah is over 90% Mormon and apparently it's extremely difficult for non-Mormons to find employment there. I do take some issue that this is a "new" Romney who somehow morphed from the "other" Romney. He did not "save" the Olympics. 1.4 billion dollars of U.S. government money did. He was busy rudely berating a worker in the parking lot who was not doing his job correctly. I think we've also heard enough about how well he (absentee) governed Massachusetts where a public elevator didn't even stop at his floor in the building. I have a feeling it's only recent events that have impinged on the consciousness of the people in Utah that has caused such a rude awakening. I think before that they just believed his statements, such as having "saved" the Olympics, and what a wonderful job he did as governor. After all, they were a long way from Massachusetts... |
Not to mention he saved their bacon in the Olympics! |
I doubt the papers' endorsement is going to change a whole lot of Utah voters minds. |

Utah may have had 90 percent when they first landed, but for years it has been around 50. The church defines the numbers and many may not even attend. I lived in a small town for 7 years, of 3000 in town I was told that 2892 were Mormons. This is not unusual far north and south. I did not involve myself in their social life. But they were some of the best neighbors ever had and knew if one needed help, they would be there. Also, I am female and had a position as director of over 40 employees at a company with 2500 plus. Times now are as tough there for employment as it is with the rest of the country. My religion is "life" around me, not inside a church. It does surprise me though that the Deseret News has endorsed OB. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Utah Mormon population stats
Did Deseret News endorse President Obama as well? Couldn't find anything online. That would be a big deal, since the Mormon Church owns the thing. |

Apologies...Salt Lake endorsement link. But interesting both are on the same page. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Salt Lake Tribune/NPR
A well written endorsement, for what it's worth. If it helps cement the progressive vote for a few more souls, then it was worth it. I never place much of anything in who endorses who... it's basically just an agreement in policy. |
I'm sorry that my statistics are so out of date - my bad. I used to visit the national parks there in the 70's at which time I think those statistics were true. I really hadn't read anything since then that seemed to indicate there was a great change, but I ignored the fact that many people were indeed looking for cheaper places to live, especially from expensive places like southern California, and Utah was one of the favored choices. |
I know the Tribune and Deseret News collaborate with printing presses or something, but the Tribune is owned by some conglomerate and the Deseret News is owned by the church. I could be wrong. |

After more than 30 years building interior tenant improvements for others, the construction company Sierra Pacific Constructors (SPC) needed a larger workspace that it would be proud to show off as its own. The company commissioned Shubin + Donaldson, a firm based in both Culver City and Santa Barbara, California, to design its new offices in the San Fernando Valley enclave of Woodland Hills. "We wanted the best working environment for our employees and a showpiece for our clients," says Cary Gerhardt, co-principal of SPC.
The design firm and builder have collaborated closely since 1998, and they were jointly responsible for the offices of Biscuit Filmworks (Contract, April 2010), a film and commercial production company. For its own office, SPC purchased a generic-looking, 20-year-old, three-story building that had once housed offices for a collection agency. The structure is set well back from a major artery and surrounded by trees—a scenario that provides two rare amenities within the commercial core of the Valley: seclusion and shade.
Revealing construction while elevating details
Shubin + Donaldson's challenge was to exploit the potential of the generic building and harness the client's skills to upgrade it. "We've worked closely with Sierra Pacific to elevate commercial buildings to the level of contemporary residences," says Russell Shubin, partner in the firm. "We started with single family houses and brought that sensibility to tenant improvement jobs, detailing industrial materials as though we were working with fine wood or stone."
The first step for the SPC office was to sandblast the existing pink stucco exterior for a quieter tone. Next, the designers opened up the interior of the second and third floors to maximize natural lighting and views. Drywall was stripped away to reveal the full extent of large window openings, some of the steel structure, and wood ceiling joists on the second floor. "We agreed with SPC that we should peel back the skin in places to reveal the bones and establish a direct connection to nature, pulling the outside in," Shubin says. Those simple changes add character and demonstrate the construction process, much like an anatomy drawing that hangs in a doctor's office.
White surfaces reflect an abundance of light
For visitors emerging from the elevator and into the third floor reception area of SPC, the first impression of the office is one of light and transparency. There is no formal reception desk, only a row of workstations alternating with glass-enclosed perimeter offices and meeting areas. SPC has a hierarchy, but the management wanted to downplay distinctions of authority, so the divide between open work areas and private offices is somewhat blurred.
At the center of the floor, and extending the length of the open office area, is a broad storage unit made of a steel work surface framed in white Corian, containing files and plans. This unit runs parallel to a narrower shelf unit with workstations lined up along the far side. White cement-resin floor tiles reflect light, and gray carpet tiles in the central area absorb sound. Daylight enters the workspace from tree-shaded windows on all four sides and from a double row of skylights that are filtered by panels of bubble-patterned acrylic.
Cove lighting installed around the skylights provides additional ambient illumination. Glass-walled meeting spaces and a large conference room located on the second floor can be closed off with walnut-veneered sliding doors. The warmth of the exposed wood joists along the ceilings contrasts with the office's otherwise cool white interior. Tilt-up steel-and-glass garage doors enclose the employees' kitchen, break room, and the large conference room, and to take advantage of the Southern California climate, staff can open them and gain access to a tree-shaded wood deck. Project architect Mark Hershman aptly describes the office as "a tree house with a simple, uncluttered feel."
All three levels of SPC's office are linked by a firefighter's pole, a popular feature suggested by Gerhardt that allows employees to pop into meetings or to make quick exits. The pole injects a little humor into this series of sophisticated spaces while serving as a reminder of the company's reputation for enhancing every detail.
Key Design Highlights
- Clean, white surfaces with thoughtful details emphasize the company's reputation for building tenant fit-outs on par with high-end residences.
- Features contributing to the office's LEED-CI Platinum rating include operable windows for natural ventilation, lighting controlled by motion sensors, and a large underground tank for captured rainwater.
- Unexpected elements such as a fish tank in the lobby and a firefighter's pole add humor and soften the sophisticated interiors.
- By connecting the interior to an outdoor terrace, the design team created opportunities for SPC employees to enjoy the Southern California climate during the workday.

Whew! I just finished building a flight of 17 timber-framed steps up a hillside. Ten freakin' tons of crushed gravel moved by hand uphill... I am soooo worn out!
I filled each step (cedar riser and cheeks) with the crushed gravel, well tamped down, to about 1" from the top. I'd assumed I would use "stone dust" as my finish material, since the pictures of it I'd seen were fairly nice-looking, and my neighbor had offered me the pile of it in his yard for free. (FWIW, our "crushed gravel" is the road base material, fines to 3/4" gravel.) However, I just went to get a wheelbarrow full, and the stuff he has is very light and, I don't know how to describe it: loose?? I put some in a step and tamped it down, but it remails loose, easy to move when it's walked on. I was assuming it would be more like the crushed gravel, which makes a nice HARD, packed surface. My thought was that a hard, packed surface would be easier to shovel snow off in winter without shoveling away a loose fill. (If snow shoveling wasn't an issue, I'd have used something pretty and nice-sounding like pea gravel.) This project is already over budget, and it's totally DIY, so something really spiffy like flagstones/slate isn't in the cards, at least this year. (I also just finished laying in a slate flag side walkway, which came out beautifully!) So what should I use? Is my neighbor's stone dust atypical? If I go somewhere else can I find some that'll pack hard and flat? Or do you have any other suggestions? Thank you!!!
Follow-Up Postings:
If it is stone dust, that is stone crushed to a sand like consistency then try wetting it as you compact. What are you using to "tamp" as you call it? Stone dust will never be as hard as say, concrete and you will need to replenish if you are doing much snow shoveling but it shouldn't pick up on your feet unless it has other 'stuff' mixed in with it. |
I agree with Ink. Just get it slightly damp, don't turn it to blue mud. Are you in MA? |
- Posted by staceyneil (My Page) on Fri, Jun 10, 11 at 9:08
Thanks guys! I will try wetting it... I'd forgotten about that aspect. I'm in Maine, actually! |
Staceyneil. Could you post a pic of your steps. I was thinking of doing exactly what you have done and needed a pic to show my DH. We were more concerned with the feel upon barefeet using the dust. Please let us all know what happens to see if this works for you. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Afghanistan: A War We Can't Believe In
March 27, 2008 by TMO
Courtesy Ted Rall
Why Obama's Favorite War is Less Winnable Than Iraq
NEW YORK–Five years after the Republicans got us into war against Iraq, Democrats want to double down on a war that's even more unjustifiable and unwinnable–the one against Afghanistan.
By any measure, U.S. troops and their NATO allies are getting their asses kicked in the country that Reagan's CIA station chief for Pakistan called "the graveyard of empires." Afghanistan currently produces a record 93 percent of the world's opium. Suicide bombers are killing more U.S.-aligned troops than ever. Stonings are back. The Taliban and their allies, "defeated" in 2001, control most of the country–and may recapture the capital of Kabul as early as this summer.
"So," asks The New York Times, "has Afghanistan now become a bigger security threat to the United States than Iraq?" Barack Obama's answer is yes. He spent last year parroting the DNC's line that Bush "took his eye off the ball" in Afghanistan when we invaded Iraq. Thankfully, he abandoned that hoary sports metaphor. Iraq, he says now, "distracted us from the fight that needed to be fought in Afghanistan against Al Qaeda. They're the ones who killed 3,000 Americans."
Sorta. But not really.
Osama bin Laden bragged about ordering the East Africa embassy bombings in 1998, yet has repeatedly denied a direct role in 9/11. He's probably telling the truth. The hijackers were mostly likely recruited by Islamic Jihad, which is based in Egypt. Saudis, including members of the royal family, financed the strikes against New York and Washington. Pakistani intelligence funded and supervised the camps where some of them trained.
Al Qaeda may have been peripherally involved in 9/11; its leadership certainly knew about the plot ahead of time. They may have fronted some of the expense money. But 9/11 wasn't an Al Qaeda operation per se.
Afghanistan's connection to 9/11 was tertiary. At the moment the first plane struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center, most of Al Qaeda's camps and fighters were in Pakistan. As CBS News reported on January 29, 2002, Osama bin Laden was in a Pakistani military hospital in Rawalpindi on 9/11. The Taliban militia, which provided neither men nor money for the attacks, controlled 90 percent of the country.
It has long been an article of faith among Democrats that Afghanistan is the "good war," a righteous campaign that could be won with more money and manpower. But the facts say otherwise. The U.S. Air Force rained more than a million pounds of bombs upon Afghanistan in 2007, mostly on innocent civilians. It's twice as much as was dropped in Iraq–and equally ineffective.
Six years after the U.S. invasion of 2001, according to Director of National Intelligence Michael McConnell, the U.S./NATO occupation force has surged from 8,000 to 50,000. But the Americans are having no more luck against the Afghans than had the Brits or the Soviet Union. The U.S.-backed government of Hamid Karzai controls a mere 30 percent of Afghanistan, admits McConnell. (Regional analysts say in truth it is closer to 15 percent.) Most of the country belongs to the charming guys who gave us babes in burqas and exploding Buddhas: the Taliban and likeminded warlords. "Afghanistan remains a failing state," says a report by General James Jones, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander. "The United States and the international community have tried to win the struggle in Afghanistan with too few military forces and insufficient economic aid."
If he becomes president, Obama says he'll "ask more from our European allies" to win in Afghanistan. But he won't get it. As The New York Times puts it: "Why help the United States in Afghanistan, the European logic goes, when America would be able to handle Afghanistan much more easily if its GIs weren't bogged down in Iraq?"
Obama says he would send two more American combat brigades–between 3,000 and 8,000 troops. If 158,000 troops can't subdue Iraq, how can 58,000 do the job in Afghanistan?
They can't.
Afghanistan's population is 19 percent larger than that of Iraq. Its area is 49 percent bigger, with infinitely rougher terrain. Obama's proposed "surgelet" would result in troop strength of less than one sixth of the 400,000 dictated by official U.S. counterinsurgency doctrine for a nation the size of Afghanistan.
Afghans say spring could mark the beginning of the end of the United States' first experiment in post-9/11 regime change. For more than a year, Taliban commanders have controlled the key Kabul-to-Kandahar highway. "On one convoy last year we were 40 vehicles and only 12 got through," Sadat Khan, a 25-year-old truck driver explained to the UK Telegraph as he pointed to "roughly patched bullet holes in the cab of his truck." Cops loyal to Karzai expect to be massacred. "Maybe we will lose 30 per cent of us this spring, maybe 60 per cent," police commander Mohammad Farid told the paper. He'd already been shot.
The Taliban say they'll retake Kabul this year and reestablish the Islamic fundamentalist government led by Mullah Omar. No one knows whether they'll succeed. But they've already begun to strangle the city of Kabul. They're destroying its nascent telecommunications infrastructure, driving out foreign NGOs and businesspeople with terrorist attacks, and cutting off access to the remaining highways. Talibs promise to continue to target NATO troops, betting that Canada and other members of the coalition will pull out under pressure from antiwar voters. Bogged down in Iraq, the U.S. won't be able to send more soldiers to Afghanistan. Karzai's puppet regime won't last long.
If Obama is so eager to keep fighting Bush's wars, he'd be smarter to focus on the more winnable of the two: Iraq.
Ted Rall is the author of the book "Silk Road to Ruin: Is Central Asia the New Middle East?," an in-depth prose and graphic novel analysis of America's next big foreign policy challenge.

Darn it. It was just what I was looking for. Tall, pretty and purple. Got so excited I forgot to look at the tag until after I planted it. Its a Black Adder Hyssop zone 6-10 perennial. Do you think I can winter it over here in zone 5? If so, how can this be done? It will be in full south sun all day in winter, and it is planted against the back of the garage. Thanks for any replys. Judy |
Follow-Up Postings:
Mulch in the winter. Sounds like the location is as close to ideal to try 'zone pushing'. I would say you have a reasonable chance of it making it through. |
- Posted by athenainwi z4b/5 WI (My Page) on Thu, Jul 12, 07 at 15:56
I bought one this spring too. I've seen it listed as anything from zone 5 to zone 7. It's a new variety so I don't think anyone knows for sure yet. I bought it because it is a close relative of Blue Fortune Agastache which is hardy to zone 5. These are supposed to do better if they don't get wet in the winter and have a rock mulch. Let's hope both our plants do well. |
I have a few zone 6 and zone 7 plants. Usually I cover them with as much snow as possible in winter. It is not only the cold that kills them though, many times they rot in the ground from our wet fall and spring. |

I don't know if this will work but I've read about them doing it to bushes in the far NE states like Vermont and New Hamshire. Find some way to wrap loosely wrap burlap around it and stuff the inside with straw or leaves. I did the same thing as you, except mine is a clematis Montana Rubens. It was sold at Menards and the tag said that is was hardy to zone 4 but after doing some reading I have found out that it may survive the winter up here but the foliage will almost completely die back to the ground so I never get any flowers! It only blooms on old wood. I am going to try the burlap thing myself this winter so I thought I'd mention it. I really hope it works. Kimberly |

Paris Hilton Missed the Party
- London
- New York City
Paris Hilton arrived in Miami as Art Basel was wrapping up. Photograph by PatrickMcMullan.com.
Art Basel festivities wrapped up, and as Beyoncé and the rest of the boldface crew left Miami, Paris Hilton made a late arrival on the scene. We weren't surprised to see that she stopped by the David LaChapelle exhibition at the Wolfgang Roth Gallery (LaChapelle shot the Hilton sisters for Vanity Fair back in September 2000), but we wonder if Paris realized she missed the party.In New York City, Ivanka Trump wrapped up in a red scarf to weather the cold at the Children's Aid Society's Miracle on Madison Avenue and 69th Street, while Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams attended the Doubt after party at the Metropolitan Club. Spike Lee was at the Garden watching the Knicks game, as were David Duchovny, Tea Leoni, and Chloe Sevigny. Molly Ringwald took her daughter to ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas Winter Wonderland at the Rock Center Cafe, and Emma Roberts hit up FAO Schwartz to promote Hotel For Dogs.
Oprah jetted from New York City to Los Angeles, where she, along with Glenn Close (see the Kennedy Center Honors), attended the The Hollywood Reporter's Annual Women in Entertainment Breakfast. Elsewhere in Tinsel Town, Cate Blanchett finally got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; Matthew Broderick and Sigourney Weaver made it to the premiere of The Tale Of Despereaux; and Rumer Willis, Anne Hathaway, Rachel Zoe, and Selma Blair stopped by the A Not So Silent Night party, which benefited the Trevor Project. And Perez Hilton dressed up as Santa for a Toys for Tots shopping event on Sunset.
In London, Sarah Ferguson signed copies of her new children's book, and the British Comedy Awards attracted Dita Von Teese and Eva Mendes. Meanwhile, Judi Dench attended the European Film Awards in Copenhagen, Denmark, and over in Berlin, George Clooney and Boris Becker were spotted at the Ein Herz Fuer Kinder gala.

Hasbro's newly announced follow-up to last year's Furby reboot gets even stranger than before: breeding new Furbies, earning Furbucks...and making poop.
It may look like just another toy, but this smartphone-controlled stuffed animal lets you communicate with kids in a unique way.
This massive replica skeleton will complete your life with its toothy grin -- even if it won't fit in your house.
Bronies with 3D design skills have an official outlet for hocking My Little Pony creations thanks to a partnership between Hasbro and Shapeways.
Hasbro's new Furby makes a return after 14 years, with an iOS Furbish-to-English app and wild new eyes. We take a blue one for a spin.
Fourteen years later, Furby emerges again with more expressions and just as much uncontrollable enthusiasm. Can it recapture its lost Furbish glory?
The Ozobot robots are looking to cross the bridge between digital and physical gaming worlds, all while adding a charming bit of randomness to the occasion.
Crave's Eric Mack and his daughter express big excitement over littleBits, a color-coded magnetic playground for miniature makers-in-training.
BMW is a company that pretty much everyone loves. The cars it produces are regarded as some of the best in the world, and as it covers all niches there's a BMW for pretty much everyone. We took a look at the history of its roadsters to see just how far the firm's come since the early 20th century.
The Little Robot Friends on Kickstarter come equipped with whimsical looks and charming robot personalities.

Bought these off of whiskey back in like August.
