Border urges Oz not to regard '2015 World Cup favourites' tag as 'burden'
Former Australian captain Allan Border, who guided the national team to their first World Cup victory 27 years ago, has advised the current squad not to regard the tag of 'favourites' as a burden, ahead of the 2015 World Cup.
Friday marked one year before the ICC World Cup co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand was due to begin and after their recent performances, the Australians are considered favourites to take the crown from defending champions India
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Border said that it is up to Michael Clarke's men to handle the pressure now on them to win the tournament next year and urged the team to wear the 'favourites' tag with pride so that they can have the confidence to dominate the tournament from the first day.
However, Border admitted that the side which would compete in next year's tournament must learn from the last Australian team to play in a World Cup hosted on home soil- the 1992 squad led by Border, which started as red-hot favourites but did not qualify for the semi-final stage after losses to New Zealand, South Africa, England and Pakistan.
Border also said that it is important for Australia to prepare well, and if they do, along with the 'favourites' tag, then can easily go out, 'blitz' the first few games and get the 'roll-on' from there.

The Tohoku economy in Northeast Japan depends on the local fishing industry, devastated by the March 2011 tsunami. Peace Winds America is fishing building sheds for Minamisanriku families living in temporary housing, and providing families with seasonal fishing equipment, which are critical to their business success. We work with local partners and are committed to long-term recovery. With your support PWA is restoring livelihoods and accelerating economic recovery in Northeast Japan.
What is the issue, problem, or challenge?
The March 2011 tsunami in Japan devastated the Tohoku regional fishing industry. Families lost homes, sheds, boats, and equipment. While some fishing families are returning to work, few can afford the specialized equipment and storage space needed. Many families live in small temporary housing units, and still need outside assistance to rejoin the industry. Production remains well below pre-tsunami levels, leaving the fishing industry far from recovery.
How will this project solve this problem?
PWA is focusing on ways of empowering individual fishing families and their fishing cooperatives through local partners. We are providing equipment and storage space whose absence is preventing families - often still in modular temporary homes - from getting back to work. We are also working closely with the Tohoku ports, fishing cooperatives, and local NGOs with the goal of addressing the specific barriers to reentering the fishing industry.
Potential Long Term Impact
The Tohoku region depends on the recovery of the fishing industry. Through support to fishing families and cooperatives, PWA is restoring livelihoods and revitalizing local economies. How and whether the small coastal towns devastated by the tsunami rebuild is dependent on the extent to which their local economies can recover.

America's priorities are pretty close to the Dish's:
The poll delved deeper into specific aspects of the agreement and found support for spending cuts but opposition to the lack of tax increases for wealthy Americans. Specifically,
65 percent approve of $1 trillion in cuts in government spending over the next 10 years (30 percent opposed)
60 percent disapprove of the fact that the agreement does not include any tax increases for businesses or higher-income Americans
This is the battleground over which politics will now be fought. Advantage: Obama, balance and compromise.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky --Lady Topper Basketball will host Georgia State on Wed. Jan. 8, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. CT. as part of the third "Spread the Red Education Game." Over 2,100 area school children from the Bowling Green Independent School District and schools from Glasgow and Logan Co., among others, including students in grades K-8, will be in attendance for the event, it was announced Tuesday morning during a press conference at E.A. Diddle Arena.
"We are excited to again welcome area students to E.A. Diddle Arena and the WKU campus for the Spread the Red Education Game," said WKU Director of Athletics Todd Stewart. "For many students, this may be the first time that they have been on our campus. I am glad we can welcome them into our school community through this women's basketball game as I think it will open the door to these young people learning about the educational opportunities available to them down the road right here in Bowling Green."
The game will mark the culmination of a month-long program between WKU Athletics and local schools, creating a synergy between education and athletics. Teachers will utilize historical statistics and biographical information on the student-athletes and teams as a learning mechanism by incorporating them into history, reading, math and geography lessons. Students will also learn and see firsthand the value of receiving an education and the importance of teamwork in achieving goals. While at the game, students will also have the chance to see the recently completed Hall of History, located on the second level of E.A. Diddle Arena, to learn more about the history of WKU Athletics and its impact on the university and community.
"One of the really neat things about this game is being able to show the young people not only what our team is capable of doing on the court, but what they are working towards off the court: completing their degree from WKU," said head coach Michelle Clark-Heard. "WKU is such an important part of this Bowling Green community and I am glad we have a chance to show these young people a few of the things that make it such a special place that I hold so dear as a graduate."
"The Bowling Green Independent School District is excited that many of our students will have the opportunity to attend the 2014 Lady Topper Spread the Red Education Day Game," said Superintendent Joe Tinius. "For many of our students it will be the first of what hope will be many opportunities to attend a variety of events on the WKU campus. Students will not only experience an NCAA Division I Women's Basketball game, but will also hear from student-athletes about the importance of their education today in preparation for college, receive information regarding the requirements to enroll in college and learn about the history of WKU, our community and country over the decades through the Halls of History in the arena. The Bowling Green Independent School District appreciates this opportunity and the ongoing strong working relationship we have with WKU."

Worldwide, about 346 million people have diabetes. Most of them suffer from type 2 diabetes, typically caused by excess body weight and physical inactivity. Over time, the disease can damage vital organs, including kidneys, nerves and heart.
Dr. Joel Zonszein, director of the clinical diabetes center at Montefiore Medical Center in New York City, said other influences besides work hours may have contributed to the development of diabetes among the study participants.
"This study shows an association between working night shifts and obesity and diabetes. But, it's difficult to disassociate other risk factors," Zonszein said. "It may not just be that they work at night. They may work harder; they may be more stressed. There was more smoking. All of these things are related."

Hudson River Almanac September 9 - September 16, 2010
It the air, late summer migration was apparent from monarchs to hummingbirds, raptors to songbirds. In the water, young-of-the-year [YOY] herring and striped bass were moving seaward. The river was "dropping its leaves," as the summer crop of wild celery was being left on the shoreline by each rising tide.
9/15 - Croton Point, HRM 35-34: This morning the avian world was on the move: The sky was filled with turkey vultures headed out to the Point in a long file. As they flew over the landfill, they found thermals and formed kettles, spirals of birds stacked at different levels from treetop to 1,000 feet. When they reached that height, they lined out for the southwest and a river crossing to the Palisades, the next leg of their journey south. Closer to earth, a long line of mulberry trees was the preferred travel route for mixed flocks of warblers and flycatchers. They were foraging busily, and always moving south and west to that jump-off point for crossing the Hudson. The lush mulberry crowns kept them safe from the numerous kestrels, Cooper's hawks, and sharp-shinned hawks that were similarly foraging while moving south and west.
- Christopher Letts
9/9 - Saugerties, HRM 102: We caught a few channel catfish at the mouth of Esopus Creek this evening. Do you know when and where channel catfish were introduced into the Hudson? I am concerned for the native fish populations with these giant vacuum cleaners running amok.
- Rich Guthrie
[Channel catfish are considered to be native to the Midwest; J.R. Greeley did not find them during his 1936 Biological Survey of the Lower Hudson Watershed. The New York State canal system (e.g., the Erie Canal), along with miscellaneous stockings in the watershed, were the likely conduits for their entry. By most accounts, they have been around since the mid-to-late 1980s, in small numbers at first, then many more. By the middle-to-late 1990s, they were fairly well established as YOY began to appear. Today they seem to be replacing white catfish, although that is only speculation; no one has done any definitive research that I'm aware of. It is undeniable that they are a handsome fish and a good gamefish (they will hit lures where as white catfish generally do not). Tom Lake.]
9/9 - Town of Wappinger, HRM 67.5: Were these the last hummingbirds of the season? One female and one immature spent long minutes drinking before moving on. We have not seen any male hummers in a week.
- Tom Lake, Phyllis Lake
9/10 - Ulster Park, HRM 87: We still have at least one, possibly two, hummingbirds. Although I had not seen any robins in a month, today they were back.
- Bill Drakert
9/10 - Stanfordville, HRM 85: We saw a bald eagle about a month ago, circling and swooping down to Hunn's Lake to grab a fish in its talons and then fly away. We spotted it again today, or another one. The eagle perched in a tree right off our porch for 90 minutes before flying off.
- Terrie Jackson
9/10 - Croton Point, HRM 34: It was a morning for raptor sightings: In the space of ten minutes I saw a flock of a dozen turkey vultures, two immature harriers, a red-tailed hawk, three osprey, and a merlin in hot pursuit of a Cooper's hawk. Palm warblers were in abundance and skeins of blue jays were wending their way southwest to the tip of the Point, their jumping off spot for the Rockland shore and points south.
- Christopher Letts
9/10 - State Line Lookout, HRM 18: Margie Turrin and I walked to the State Line Lookout today to see what we could see. Looking down over the river we watched an adult bald eagle heading north close to shore. Just as the eagle turned the point an osprey briefly took chase and another osprey passed nearby. Shortly thereafter we watched five broad-winged hawks come in from the river over the point and start to kettle upwards on a thermal. Minutes later, they were high overhead, just specks against the clouds, before peeling off southward.
- Linda Pistolesi
9/11 - Norrie Point, HRM 85: This was a late summer "flight day," those windy days when migrating birds get a boost from a north-northwest wind. We counted a dozen monarchs as well as several flocks of raucous blue jays passing by. Out on the cove we spotted two great egrets and three great blue herons, also on their way south, but at a much slower pace. The warm shallows (77 degrees F) were choked with wild celery, curly pondweed, duckweed, and water chestnut, making seining very difficult. For every banded killifish and pumpkinseed sunfish we caught, we hauled in 50 lb. of aquatic vegetation. The river was giving up its leaves.
- Tom Lake, Phyllis Lake
9/11 - Croton Point, HRM 35: It was 46 degrees F at 6:00 AM. Most welcome. It appeared that at last the heat had broken. But not the drought. As New Jersey goes on drought alert, New Yorkers don't seem to be aware of the dearth of rainfall. Hurricane Earl? Well, no one really wants a hurricane, but we were certainly hoping for a few inches of warm rain from the system that fizzled. This has been a long summer of dragging hoses and spot watering with dishwater poured from the compost pail.
- Christopher Letts
9/11 - Manhattan, HRM 13: Our "Day in the Life of the Hudson River" team hosted a teacher workshop at Swindler Cove along the Harlem River on this beautiful late summer day where the water measured a warm 72 degrees F. The incoming tide at the cove brought an amazing 500 Atlantic silversides into the seine, 20 YOY striped bass, 6 mummichogs, and 8 male blue crabs. The ebbing tide delivered only 50 silversides, 30 striped bass and another 8 blue crabs, although 2 were females. The salinity hovered at 15.0 parts-per-thousand, approaching half the strength of seawater. The currents pose a bit of confusion in this northern section of the Harlem River: it pushes south when the incoming tide on the Hudson River spills through Spuyten Duyvil and rushes north on an outgoing tide as the water is pulled back out through Spuyten Duyvil.
- Margie Turrin, Steve Stanne, Sarah Mount
9/11 - Manhattan, HRM 13: As we stopped to look at the river access for Sherman Cove Park, we peered over to see a school of small silversides traveling close to the surface of the Harlem River. As they hovered around the pier, we estimated the school to be about 10 fish deep and 20 fish long.
- Margie Turrin, Steve Stanne and Sarah Mount
9/11 - Manhattan, HRM 1.5: At high tide, from the seventh floor of 67 Vestry Street on the west side of Manhattan, we can see more "red stuff" (scientific term) in the Hudson River. This is the largest streak we have seen to date. It reached as far as we could see from Battery Park City north past Pier 40, at least two miles. As it hugged the east side of the river, it appeared to be a quarter-mile-wide. Later, nearly three hours past high tide, the "red streak" was still visible but had now split into two narrower ones.
- Roland Gebhardt
[Mike Levandowsky identified the main biological component of this "red tide" to be Myrionecta rubrum, a ciliate micro-zooplankter whose taxonomy was discussed earlier (see 9/8). The etymology or origin of its scientific name comes from Greek and Latin: Myrio, from the Greek word "myrios," means numberless; necto, from the Greek word "nektar" means swimmer; and rubrum from the Latin "rubidus" meaning reddish. Translation: "numberless red swimmers!" Tom Lake.]
9/12 - Esopus Meadows, HRM 87: There were seven mute swans close to the Esopus Meadows Lighthouse this morning when the work barge arrived. Along with them was an American coot! The swans took off awhile later looking like mini Concorde jets as they flew close to the water. The coot spent most of the day near the lighthouse, mainly in the water but also on the small island where the original lighthouse stood (1839-1871). In midday, a kingfisher tried repeatedly to catch a fish, hovering over the shallow water in the mud flats. After four or five tries, it flew around the lighthouse and headed away. We also had another osprey sighting.
- Phyllis Marsteller
9/13 - Essex County, HRM 257: As I was driving home to Newcomb, I came across what looked like snow drifts along the sides of the road between Weaverton and North Creek. I stopped to see. Hail stones. They were at least a quarter-inch across. While on one hand I was glad that I wasn't driving through when they fell, I kind of wish I had been. It must have been amazing to see!
- Ellen Rathbone
9/13 - Kingston, HRM 91: As museum volunteers for the Hudson River Maritime Museum, we got a free ride on the excursion vessel Rip Van Winkle. On the cruise we spotted many, many cormorants as well as one soaring bald eagle.
- Bill Drakert
9/13 - Ulster Park, HRM 87: Still another day with hummers - just one, no males.
- Bill Drakert
9/13 - Town of Wappinger, HRM 67.5: Groups of blue jays (hard to tell if they were in flocks) moved through the woods, tree to tree, making a racket. The sky went black, the rains came, and the woods drew silent. Thirty minutes and three-quarters of an inch of rain later, the sun peeked out and the blue jays picked up where they had left off.
- Tom Lake
9/14 - Newcomb, HRM 302: Our leaves were really starting to change now. You could see an orange haze over the top of the forest and up in the High Peaks. If what we see now is any indication of what's in store, it looks like it might be a brilliant autumn.
- Ellen Rathbone
9/14 - Defreestville, Rensselaer County, HRM 142: We are now seeing quite a few robins. It interests me because of the recent comments regarding people not seeing robins for a while this summer. We are also beginning to notice rather large gatherings of birds.
- Roberta S. Jeracka
[This is the usual "gathering" or flocking of birds preparatory to migration. For us, it is still summer. But to the birds, which are much more attuned to natural cycles, the lessening daylight signals the coming of autumn and the time to move. Tom Lake.]
9/14 - Columbia County, HRM 118: We had a surprise visitor in our front yard this morning, a young gray treefrog. The bright green coloration of the young ones stands in contrast to the mottled grays of the adults.
- Bob Schmidt, Kathy Schmidt, Alec Schmidt
9/14 - Ulster Park, HRM 87: We still have a hummer! We spotted one at the feeder this morning during breakfast.
- Bill Drakert
[Bill Drakert is an original Hudson River Almanac contributor (17 years) as well as a long-time ruby-throated hummingbird reporter. Over the last 12 years that Bill has documented "last hummers" in the Almanac, the departure dates have ranged from September 3 (earliest) to September 17 (latest), with the average being September 10. Tom Lake.]
9/14 - Haverstraw Bay to the Tappan Zee, HRM 40-25: Local anglers were regularly taking striped mullet to eleven inches long in cast nets. Bluefish to 12 lb. and striped bass to 23 lb. have been a steady pick for this past fortnight; blue crabs were everywhere in good numbers and good size.
- Christopher Letts
9/14 - Manhattan, HRM 1.5: The water in the Hudson River was unusually clear; however, there was still a good size (three-quarter mile-long, one-eighth mile-wide) plume of "red tide" near the New Jersey side.
- Roland Gebhardt
9/15 - Rhinebeck, HRM 90: Over the past several weekends, I've seen good numbers of monarch butterflies migrating south. From Brooklin, Maine, interior New England, coastal Rhode Island, and right here in the Hudson Valley, they have been very much in evidence again. Hopefully the population will continue to rebound.
- John A Sperr
9/15 - Norrie Point, HRM 85: The shallow cove next to the Norrie Point Environmental Center had an unusual variety of wading birds today - great egret, great blue heron, and green heron - all busy feeding in the dense rafts of uprooted wild celery. Overhead, both osprey and bald eagle soared.
- Betsy Blair
9/15 - Town of Wappinger, HRM 67.5: I often wonder if the "last hummer" we report is truly the last. Had we not been looking out the window at a white-tailed deer, we would have missed an immature ruby-throated's stop for a quick drink before moving on. In 2009, the "last hummer" was seen September 16.
- Tom Lake, Phyllis Lake
9/15 - Westchester County, HRM 43.5: While driving along Route 6/202 just west of the mouth of Annsville Creek, we noticed a bird of prey flying over the open water of the Hudson River carrying something in its talons. A little farther west along the road, we clearly saw an osprey clutching a large herring-like fish, most likely a menhaden, and carrying it head first into the wind.
- Jesse Jaycox, Ray Doherty
9/15 - Furnace Woods, Town of Cortlandt, HRM 38.5: We have raised tomatoes since 1986 and, as with all of our gardening efforts, we hew to the organic road. For the first time this year we have been beset with tomato hornworms. Not just one or two, but perhaps three dozen have ravaged our little fifteen-plant patch. First they defoliate, and then they pick the biggest, ripest, beefsteaks and chomp into them. I would say that we have lost a good bushel of heirloom tomatoes to these "thugs." But, I haven't squished a single one. Each caterpillar I have found has been covered with a blanket of tiny egg cases the size of a grain of rice, the eggs of a parasitic wasp I am told. After a couple of days, the skin of the larval moth hangs like a limp balloon, and a couple hundred more wasps are out on patrol. Still organic after all these years!
- Christopher Letts
9/15 - Croton Point, HRM 34.5: Listening to a screech owl before I get my hiking boots laced is always a great way to begin the day. Osprey, sharp-shinned hawks, kestrels, red-tailed hawks, and Cooper's hawks were a reminder that the sunny days of summer will be in short supply from now on. Joining them in their southward exodus was an increasing number of monarch butterflies. For the first time this season I am seeing them 2-3 at a time. Very exciting!
- Christopher Letts
9/16 - Kowawese, HRM 59: In midday, storm winds were blasting up the river and pushing four foot waves onto the beach. The rollers were so high and rough that I nearly lost sight of my golden retriever, Roxy. [A coastal storm was battering New York City.]
- Ron Halbreich
9/16 - Crugers, HRM 39: Several months ago we put out a hummingbird feeder in the hopes of attracting one to our yard, but to no avail. What a wonderful surprise, today, to discover a ruby-throated hummingbird hovering over a miniature red rose bush on our deck. As quickly as it appeared, it vanished from sight.
- Dorothy and Bob Ferguson
9/16 - New York City: The National Weather Service concluded that two tornados swept through Staten Island, Brooklyn and Queens destroying thousands of trees, some as many as 250 years old. Residents noted "hailstones the size of nickels" accompanied by 125 mph wind gusts. Others observed that the storm "looked like doomsday" and "sounded like a freight train coming."
- Tom Lake

Apple's Success Makes it Clear that Carriers Will be Swamped
Apple's success in the smart phone arena and the amazing power that it wields as a manufacturer are atypical and underscore just how adversarial future relationships between carriers and those who make their phones will become. Smart phone manufacturers like Apple want to build the best devices that they can. Wireless carriers are fine with that, unless of course the users of these phones are encouraged to use more of the carriers' precious data bandwidth. Unfortunately for us, we might end up the real losers out of all of this.
Carriers throughout the country are playing a dangerous game. Their data networks were never designed with the expectation that individuals would have the ability to literally use gigabytes of bandwidth in a single day as is now possible. As Apple and other smart phone manufacturers keep producing phones that have the ability to stream media, download apps and send files to others, this bandwidth consumption will continue to rise at a faster rate than carriers can upgrade their networks. Just look at all of the problems that AT&T's network has had since the iPhone was first released as an example of what might eventually happen to every cellular network.
The costs of providing such large amounts of data over the air will be placed squarely on the shoulders of customers. AT&T already revamped its data plans and eliminated unlimited service. Expect other carriers to take similar steps as smart phones slow replace regular phones as the personal communication devices of choice throughout North America in the next few years. The iPhone opened the floodgates and as everyone else looks to compete, data consumption could hit figures similar to what our computers use through wired broadband. Smart phones are now available that boast higher specs than computers made in the past decade. Higher data usage fees are on the horizon for all of us.
Think that carriers need to step their game up and realize that they need to work harder to ensure that we get the content that we need, when we want it and at an affordable rate?Apple iPhone, cellular network, smartphone, AT&T

1 cup dried apricots, cut in half
1 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Either boil the unpeeled potatoes whole in a large pot of water or bake them in the microwave according to your microwave's directions. Let the potatoes cool, then peel them.
Rice the potatoes into a bowl or mash them by hand. Blend in the egg and salt.
Heap the flour onto a work surface and make a hole in the center with your hands. Put the potatoes in the center and begin working the flour into the potatoes until you have a ball of dough that you can knead and that is slightly tacky but not sticking to your hands. If you feel you need more flour, add it a few tablespoons at a time.
Break off a small piece of dough the size of a grape and form it into a little ball. Drop it into boiling water and if it holds together and does not fall apart, you have the right consistency; go ahead and make the rest of the gnocchi.
Lightly flour the work surface. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out until it is about ¼ inch thick. Use a 2-inch round cutter to cut circles; reroll the scraps to make more circles. Place a half prune or apricot in the center of each circle. Fold the circle in half to form a half-moon shape. Use a fork to seal the edges. This is important because there is nothing worse than gnocchi that come apart as they are boiled.
As you make the gnocchi, place them on a towel lined baking sheet; do not stack them one on top of the other.
Have a large pot of boiling water ready and in a smaller pot, melt the butter and keep it warm.
Cook the gnocchi in batches until they rise to the surface; remove them with a slotted spoon to a serving platter and keep them warm while you finish cooking the rest.
Pour the melted butter over the gnocchi and sprinkle them with the cheese and the cinnamon. Toss gently and serve at once.

(thrifted bustier over RVCA dress, American Apparel socks..thank you AA for sending me packages of weird things every now and then..my favorites are the oddities that never make it to their website, vintage coat, Jessica Simpson platforms)
This coat is without a doubt now the warmest thing I own…with the 25 lb. weight behind it to prove it. Wearing dramatic coats around here is something that I find a sort of strange pleasure in. For one, people seem to be impressed by anything more than a substantial-ish sweatshirt..and even when wearing said dramatic piece yields an ideal body temperature, there are slight undertones of crazy that go along with the whole situation. I find this all very funny apparently.
I get a lot of questions in regards to the "braveness" to dress any way you want to in the public eye..be it the grocery store, school, party, etc…and where I get the confidence to wear this or that. Which is strange to me because I'm really not that out there in my mind…but it's touching in the most real way to read emails from girls that thought they were too tall to wear platform heels/afraid what their peers would think if they were to dress the way they wanted to/want to add some glamour back into their lives saying that I've inspired them to break out of the box in any way. My outlook has always been that people in the streets aren't dressing to please me, why should I take them into account when dressing myself? Playing with clothes is one of the most basic pleasures in life along with other stupid crap like peeling nail polish off in single sheets, crawling into a sun warmed car, and laughing about nothing and everything. If I were to die tomorrow I would be glad that I wore a slightly inappropriate coat and five inch heels to a deserted train station in the middle of the day. You know what I mean?
(Lover tunic, Forever 21 shorts, Earlums ear cuffs, thrifted jacket, vintage bag, Chloe boots, random harness belt and tights)
I seriously love Aloha Rag..such a refreshing edited selection of labels (Chloe, Demeulemeester, Lim, CdG, Margiela) and enough jewelry to make a parchment scroll of a wishlist (largely due to all the Luis Morais up for grabs). I've been to their Honolulu location before and was stoked to see couple of the same faces from that visit..but hopefully they didn't place me as the girl that had shamelessly groped all their Balenciaga..okay on maybe more than one visit. Hmmm. Anyway, they had a launch party during fashion week to celebrate a collaboration with Thakoon….see the perfectly oversized plaid cardigans above. Supposed to be men's but I think that could be pretty easily bent. Thakoon himself was so sweet and funny…I was too nervous to approach him until Colin forced me to by telling him he was making me nervous (umm thanks) and then I got even more awkward and stammer-y when he told me he had read my blog. This was most unfortunate because I should have asked him about the giant hoods and draped dresses he showed for fall and how to tie a scarf in such a perfect voluminous knot. Oh well. I spotted a few Teen Vogue staffers in a sea of well dressed Japanese people, which only got me more excited about leaving for Tokyo in ONE WEEK. I'm so not ready but I can't wait.
(vintage shrug and hooded cardigan, Alexander Wang jacket and bag, Forever 21 armwarmers, Claude Maus dress, J Brand jeans, BCBG Mendel boots)
I found this hoodie at a vintage store in Huntington Beach with Kristin a while ago, I love that it buttons instead of zipping and the fact that it's cashmere..good basics make for warm layering…or something.
We took these as we were leaving Bryant Park (for the last time ever! for a show anyway..goodbye green chairs) and ran down the street right afterwards to get a cab and thaw out in the backseat. So so cold.
(ph. by Colin Sokol)
Minimalism with a twist – Max Azria was extremely wearable but full of beautiful details that make you look twice. Paneling was slashed at an angle across loose dresses, draped tops turned around to entirely sheer backs that hung alluringly slightly off the body, legs were tightly leathered, and day-to-night dresses featured strong asymmetry. As a whole this struck me as a collection that you could pick four or five pieces from and be relatively set for any number of days/occasions. Even though my pack-everything, option-focused self would probably never want to actually see any such plan through. The muddy neutrals and monochromy seemed heavily '90s but in a fresh way that has me wanting to play with the ideas in my closet..the pointy toed wedge boots can come too.
I wore a Topshop dress over a RVCA dress with this harness belt I picked up at some generic beachside store near my house + big old vintage faux fur to shield me from the snow and Jas MB clutch.
(on me: tshirt, American Apparel shorts, Plush socks, Dolce & Gabbana wedges, Forever 21 parka, on Kristin: vintage sweater, Forever 21 tights, Chanel wedges)
The rest of the photos I meant to post last week. I was behind even before I was behind. Not sure if we had more fun after we left my house or trying on clothes for an hour before.
(Forever 21 leopard tights)
A return to actual warm sunshine..but I'm not feeling too good and am also kind of freaked out from watching The Craft on TV just now. Just when I was googling Fairuza Balk to make sure she really isn't that crazy, I read that she served as an "uncredited technical advisor" for the movie based on her own neo-pagan beliefs and that she owned the biggest occult store in the US for a while (via wiki). Cool. Can't say I didn't love the wardrobe though. Hopefully I'll dream about that instead of snakes..everywhere..
I've got a huge amount of photos to sift through from NY, will get started on that soon.
(vintage dress and velvet bag, Chloe boots, YSL ring)
Andrew Bevan is one of my favorite people I've met through blogging..he's someone that I could easily imagine hanging out with even if we both hated fashion and lived in North Dakota (no offense ND, San Diego is just about as off the fashion radar as you are). We promised to meet up after running into each other on the way into the Alexandre Herchcovitch show and upon our reunion laughed about and at pretty much everything..but only after I saved him from a freshly divorced vodka-happy partygoer who proceeded to hit on a confused Colin. I hope she found happiness later on that night.
Please note his gigantic safety pin necklace. Imagine the things you could fuse together with that thing.
(ph. by me)
Inspired by the tempestuous dancer and courtesan Lola Montez, the Marchesa collection was somehow elegant and whimsical, and the pieces only became exponentially more stunning when viewed up close. My inner wannabe ice skater is a sucker for well executed nude mesh, but the real standouts were the white feathered minidress and a darkly beautiful starred up concoction with tulle spilling down the front.
(vintage leopard coat and sweater, Henry Duarte x J Brand jeans, ribbed knee socks, D&G wedges, Alexander Wang Hilary bag)
J Brand sent me some jeans last week..as one commenter noted, I "don't own any pants". This isn't entirely true, but honestly I just hate shopping for them since I barely every try clothes on in stores. I trust my eye for picking out my size for everything..except jeans. But these are a perfect second skin.
New York has been amazing and nonstop and I am dead tired right now…I got by in the above outfit by wearing two pairs of socks, two pairs of gloves, and three tops. The city is freezing! But so beautiful.

4 Comic Books That Deserve the TV Treatment
They've moved on from the big screen world of mainstream cinema, where a million angry comic book nerds flood the internet with hypercritical comments about inane accuracy. Now, famous works like 'The Walking Dead' and 'Sandman' are moving to the small screen of mainstream television where a million angry comic book nerds will continue to flood the internet with hypercritical comments about inane accuracy.
And just like their movie adaptation counterparts, It's the start of an inevitable crest that's bound to develop into a typhoon-sized tidal wave that will engulf us all. But before we drown in the inevitable watery envelope of recycled doom, here's hoping that at least one or more of the following fantastic four get an invitation to a TV set near you.
'100 Bullets'
TV is filled with great tales of random do-gooders who travel the nation, solving problems for no other reason than wanting to right the wrongs done to them.
'The A-Team' traveled the country helping the downtrodden as they tried to evade their military captors in the world's least conspicuous van. Sam on 'Quantum Leap' found himself jumping from body to body, helping people in the past so that he could get back to the future. 'The Incredible Hulk' sacrificed countless pairs of perfectly good jeans, all in the name of helping his fellow man or woman.
This comic, however, would break that familiar television mold with the force of a hollow-point bullet.
This gritty comic centers around the mysterious "Agent Graves" who gives the victims who have been wronged a chance to exact their own revenge. He gives them a special handgun that allows them to kill the people who have wronged them -- without consequences. Of course, Graves has his own axe to grind with the people who may or may not get filled with untraceable bullets. This ink-stained title would give television a new angle on the action-adventure genre.
'Phantom Jack'
'The Wire' accomplished many things in its five-season run, but its most unique accomplishment was refusing to water down the real details for the sake of placating the widest possible audience. Everything from drug wars to the cold, unchanging press cycle got the real world treatment. It was just missing one thing: reporters with superpowers.
'Phantom Jack' could certainly fill that void. Jack Baxter, the comic's title character, is a hard-nosed reporter who knows how to score the big scoop over his rivals, mainly because he can turn himself invisible. He eventually ends up in Iraq after his brother is captured by the enemy.
Jack's unique reporting ability is really the only supernatural element in the entire series run, which is unusual for a comic book of this caliber. It's got deep, rich stories that would make for an interesting TV-comic adaptation, especially since it gives the writers the chance to tackle the day's issues with a fresh, subversive edge. Think of it as 'The Wire' meets 'The X Files' meets 'Lou Grant.'
'Scud: The Disposable Assassin'
My TV really misses shows like 'The Tick,' both the animated Saturday morning version and the even shorter-lived live action version starring Patrick Warburton. It wasn't just funny because it lampooned superheroes with bloated egos or the ridiculous, never-ending action of their adventures. 'The Tick' lived in its own universe, made its own rules and reveled in being something completely different than the usual parodies and spoofs.
Television needs a show like that again. It needs a show that doesn't depend on some long-lost television franchise to build an audience without having to do any real marketing on its own. It needs a show that creates its own rules and doesn't sacrifice them to attract a wider audience. It needs a show with a funny, ass-kicking robot -- I mean, a show other than 'Futurama.'
'Scud' takes the bleak utopia of 'Blade Runner' and turns it into a silly universe where people hire professional killers out of vending machines. It has a wicked sense of humor with an equally creative story line that pits Scud against a series of very creative enemies like Ben Franklin with voodoo powers and a giant female mutant with a plug for a face named "Jeff." No amount of coked-up TV writers could come up with something anywhere near as brilliant.
'Scott Pilgrim'
Just because 'Scott Pilgrim' became a big-budget movie that hardly anyone saw doesn't mean it deserves any less of a chance to fail on the small screen.
Edgar Wright's take on the slap-happy slacker love tale may have bombed at the box office, but he could have had just as much fun turning the comic series into its own serialized television adventure.
The title's titular hero has to defeat a series of evil exes in order to win the heart of the woman he truly loves. It would have made for some gripping TV action as the shaggy haired street fighter lets his fists do the talking as he tries to win one for the little guy in each week's episode.
A TV remake of the comics would just an even more over-the-top version of 'Spaced' with crazy action shots and unique camera angles helping to move the plot and style of the series along. The movie is really just a musical, but with over-the-top boss battles and fist fights in place of the musical numbers. So really a TV version would just be a more violent version of 'Glee' without all that annoying music getting in the way of everything.
What other comic books would make good TV series?

Editor's Note: Maryam Khan Ansari is a Montreal-born attorney living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her immediate family lives in Abbottabad, Pakistan, where Osama bin Laden was found hiding.
By Maryam Khan Ansari, Special to CNN
Over the past week, I've heard many commentators assume that bin Laden's mansion in Abbottabad must have stuck out like a sore thumb. But I can tell you from frequent visits to the city and from extended conversations with family and friends in Abbottabad that this is not the case. Here are 5 reasons why:
1. Large, walled compounds are fairly common: While it is said that bin Laden's compound was the largest in its vicinity, Abbottabad is still a city known for having many large compounds. Barbed wire on the outside walls is not uncommon, either. Barbed wire and embedded glass shards are found on the tops of outside walls to deter potential burglars. And in Abbottabad, burglary is a more common concern than fugitive terrorists.
In addition, many people have arrived from Swat Valley since the 2005 earthquake and the recent Taliban invasion. People from Swat tend to live in large, walled compounds with many families under one roof. Swat refugees tend to be religiously conservative and these walls allow women in the family to walk outside unveiled without being seen by strangers.
Another reason for the relative abundance of large compounds is that Abbottabad is as a retirement town where wealthy outsiders build their vacation homes to escape the blistering summer heat of other parts of Pakistan.
2. Abbottabadis are used to many outsiders: Abbottabad has a history as a medical safe haven. Tuberculosis patients once came to Abbottabad for medical care. It has become a place of rest and relaxation for the old and ailing as well.
So there is a great mix of people in Abbottabad – Swat migrants, rich retirees, and people seeking medical care.
Neighbors don't always know each other and people don't ask too many questions of newcomers – partly out of fear that they may just ask a question that is too intrusive and partly to leave the retired and ailing to their peace.
3. The drug trade leads people to ask fewer questions of otherwise "eccentric" people. With rampant marijuana growing in the region, the drug trade hangs over Abbottabad. If people see a particularly large compound, they might assume it was built by black money. This is another reason people don't dwell on abnormally large buildings, and certainly don't try to explore them.
4. The unpretentious attitudes of the people: Abbottabad is a place where you don't show off and you don't act impressed by another's wealth. It's just not considered culturally appropriate. There are many wealthy people in Abbottabad. In the case of a three-story mansion, it's likely that people wouldn't give it much attention, even if they noticed it and even if it was (as reports say) eight times the size of neighboring homes. It would be considered crass to talk about it.
5. The military's presence. Much has been made of the fact that Abbottabad houses the Pakistan Military Academy (PMA) Kakul, which is Pakistan's version of West Point. But PMA is essentially a gated village where the military officers live and train. Retired Brigadier Mohammad Sadiq, a high-ranking army surgeon once based in the academy says, "PMA Kakul is a village of its own, with its own shops and its own social circles. People don't venture out and nobody ventures in. They don't care about what goes on outside their gates."
While many questions remain as to the military's involvement in hiding Osama bin Laden, it's very likely that the average military Joe didn't even notice that the building existed. True, they live nearby. But the military members rarely leave their base and the bin Laden compound was not in direct sight of the main road leading in and out of the PMA Kakul military areas.
In addition, the military's presence protected the privacy of the compound. Nobody expected the world's most wanted man to be living near a military base. And if the prospect of the compound being a drug lord's house wasn't enough, the average citizen may instead have assumed it was an army building.
Those are all the reasons picking Abbottabad was a smart strategic move. But bin Laden might have had personal motives too. Why endure the extreme weather of the rugged Afghani border areas when you could live in the "San Francisco" of Pakistan? Abbottabad has the rolling green hills, romantic fog and fresh air. And now, thankfully, it no longer has Osama bin Laden.
The views expressed in this article are solely those of Maryam Khan Ansari.
@ aum
If you want to talk about using terrorism as a state weapon then let us shed some light on India which claims to be the biggest democracy in the word and yet they opress Muslims, Seikhs and Christians living there. 10000 Muslims were burnt alive in 2001 Gujrat riots, 5000 Christians have been butchered in the last 2 years in India with churches burnt to the ground. In 1980s more than 20000 Seikhs were killed by the thug indian establishment. Right now Pakistan faces threat from its enemy Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan, which gets heavy supplies of weapons and money from believe it or not 13 INDIAN CONSULATES, 13!from across the border in Afhganistan (I wonder why they need so many of them). It is also very disturbing that all this is happening right under the american's nose in Afghanistan. Please keep you money to yourself and leave Pakistan alone. We have spent more than 70 billion $ on a war that was not even ours to start with and you brag about giving Pakistan 1.5 billion a year. Please keep it to yourselves. It goes in the pockets of our corrupt politicians anyways.
Haider you need to check facts. You're post is wrong about everything. 10000 muslims burnt alive? Here are the facts on Gujarat. The 2002 Gujarat violence describes the Godhra train burning and resulting communal riots between Hindus and Muslims. On 27 February 2002 at Godhra City in the state of Gujarat, the Sabarmati Express train was attacked by a large Muslim mob in a conspiracy. As a result, 58 Hindu pilgrims, mostly women and children of ladies compartment returning from Ayodhya, were killed. The attack prompted retaliatory massacres against Muslims and communal riots on a large scale, in which 790 Muslims and 254 Hindus were killed and 223 more people were reported missing. 523 places of worship were damaged: 298 dargahs, 205 mosques, 17 temples, and 3 churches. Muslim-owned businesses suffered the bulk of the damage. 61,000 Muslims and 10,000 Hindus fled their homes. Preventive arrests of 17,947 Hindus and 3,616 Muslims were made. In total 27,901 Hindus and 7,651 Muslims were arrested. Nearly 10,000 rounds of bullets were fired in police shootings that killed 93 Muslims and 77 Hindus.
Disregard Haider's post
Problem #1: The Pakistani military doesn't care what goes on outside of their acadamy village gates.
They said it. Not me.
I guarantee you that nothing is going to change. The Pakistani military will keep getting the US taxpayers billions and the "war on terror" will continue. This is because this whole operation was totally made up with the involvement of Pakistani Army and USA. It benefits the Pakistani Army, and it benefits the Washington War Mongerers. Like a match made in heaven.
Give me isolationism. I'm tired of all this crap.
It may very well be that some of those in the Pakistani government are cooperating with us, but it's the few individuals that are creating the doubts about it. These are a people that would sell out their own families if the price is right, or they feel their own liberties are threatened. They have no allegiance to anyone but themselves.
I am amazed by the article. First of all, she is an attorney and secondly she is Pakistani. Offcourse, she will say anything to find an excuse for Pakistan. Pakistan is the most currupt country in the world.
He was taken there close to their Military Accadimy because if push comes shave they pick him up quickly and take him insde of the acadimy to hide.Never trust a paki or Pakistan... This paki woman is trying to hide the Sun with 2 fingers... lolz
Dear Ms.Maryam Khan Ansari:
Firstly you are of Pakistani origin, and nobody buys your agruments..............PERIOD!
It's just futile to even read through your justification. Most of them are just misleading, ex: point 5 (military presence). Please remember that in todays digital age, we don't have to be from Abbotabad to know what's in Abbottabad. We had Pakistani reporters say that they can't go more than 100 steps w/o bumping into a military installation.....essentially the entire towon is a well protected garrison town.
The only reason Pakistani ISI (& Military, the Govt and Pakistani people) KEPT OSAMA THERE IS TO PROTECT HIM DAY & NIGHT and PULL HIM INTO ONE OF THEIR INSTALLATIONS IN THE EVENT OF ADVANCE WARNING OF ANY SUCH STRIKE!!!.
No wonder the US gave no such warning!
So, please stop trying to comvince Americans on your theory. No wonder people in the west DON'T TRUST EVEN LOCALLY BORN PEOPLE OF PAKISTANI ORIGIN....EVEN AFTER SEVERAL GENERATIONS!
Hi Amit,
I am a born Muslim but am tired of my country Pakistan and the lies for which it and its people stand for.
I am a big fan of M K Gandhi and his principles.
I apologize to you all for this terrorist nation's deceit and misleads. How long will Pakistan act as an prostitute?
When will US lift its rose colored glasses and label Pakistan a failed and terrorist state?
Does Hinduism allow, conversion of religion or do you have to be born a Hindu, This is just for my knowledge?
Thanks and Regards
Akeel Khan

Just be a good insaan (human).
If you can have some faith that what goes around comes around, one is a hindu at some level. Rest is branding.
Or you can say I an infidel is trying to misguide you.
Akeel Khan:
It's heartening to find a handful of Pakistani Muslims like you, a trait we don't see even amongst MOST Indian Muslims incl. MR. FAREED ZAKARIA.
Quite frankly, while Hindusim does allow other people into its fold, Islam needs people like you to transform that religion. It's a long hard battle if the so-called mioderates are willing to take up the fight. The fact is the so-called moderates also are no different from their jihadist brothers/sisters. That's why I said people like you are few and far between.
Good Luck!
This website will censor n1gger sp1c and g00k but wont censor paki.
I tried to read your comments after this one, as I also have flagged people for offensive comments, but I was disappointed. It appears, all you are saying is screaming 'racial slur' and calling others ignorant and idiot.
The only other comment is where you are telling us that the Ottoman empire was greater than the West, in its times. That might have been, but what is the point of liberalism if it passed You by?
So in Pakistan, what is the percentage of women voting today (not 100 years ago)?
Al queada has killed more Muslims in thier attacks than the have Westerners. When will the Muslim world wake up that their biggest enemy is Al queada?
Al Qaeda is dead, 10 years from now, maybe nobody wants to talk about this organization anymore. OBL was a rich man; with his wealth, he could cover for all Al Qaeda terrorist activity, but after the death of OBL, this organization would collapse because of financial problem. If the world concentrate on the financial donation from the Muslim community to make sure the money don't come to the hand of terrorists, they will be doomed. Even when OBL was still alive, his organization was very weak. How many strikes his people had done lately _ not much. Look at Egypt, Yemen, Syria and especially, in Libya, do Al Qaeda people help these people overthrow their government or these people don't need Al Qaeda? The Somalian pirates had more robbing activity in the sea than the members of Al Qaeda did in the last few years. The real thread for the world is the Taliban _ not Al Qaeda. If the Taliban succeed overthrowing the Afghan regime, they would be like another Iran state.
maryam i am also living in abbottabad.please dnt give the reason for abbottabad compound as the hideout..if USA says incident of 9/11 was conducted by OBL,so its a fact.they say iraq had WMD,so its fact, they said afghan were holly warrier fighting against USSR under the umrella of CIA and ISI.so they were holly warrier and now they say they are terrorest so its right because boss is always right..AMERICA IS THE BOSS OF ALL NATIONS.being a soldier i say if i had been usama and i would select a hideout which no body can think of but at the same time i will plan for the escape route if being caught. so tactically if you see this compound.it has no escape route. osama knows he should not select an isolated compound and there cannot be any mutual support for other buildings. my messege to the soldiers is to see the site.Analyze and grade usama. is he that capable to be al quida no 1.
Umar Patek, a key wanted terrorist for the bali bombing, was found in abbottabad in january 2011, that was 4 months ago, he was picked up by the pakistani gov. and has yet to be released for interogation by the U.S or Indonesia. A terrorist of that stature being located in this city would send enough red flags for a complete sweep of abbottabad but to no avail. This of all things should be reason enough to implicate pakistan's isi with alqaeda.
Thanks to Maryam Khan Ansari, and to CNN for finally publishing something about this affair that makes good sense. This good information helps to explain a lot about the realities of daily life and local attitudes in Abbottabad. No wonder Bid Laden was able to pull this off! Seemingly neighbors and the local police there have no clue as to who lives in these compounds or what is going on inside any of them and this is an accepted way of life! In the United States, at least the tax assessor's office would be curious!
Nice article to tell the world why Abbottabad is a great choice. But hinting the unawareness of Army is a wrong assumption. This massive building designed to conceal people without entering in to the room, was built by a company of Dawood Ibrahim, a mafia don of South East Asia. Dawood has been given shelter in Pakistan and his links with Army and ISI were known and there is no surprise Al-quida get help from them. Don't suggest the Muncipality has not approved this plan which has a bunker too. Pakistan has become a paradise for the world most wanted terrorists and I pity on the average moderate Paki who lives there.
PAKISTAN IS BUSY ASSEMBLING A ANTI-US COALITION WITH CHINA (PM Gilani is now on a 4 day visit to China) and RUSSIA (Pres. Zardari is leaving to Russia today), and OFCOURSE ALL THE MUSLIM COUNTRIES (OIC).
As I have said repeatedly in these columns THIS UGLY ISLAMIC TERROR WAR WILL NEVER END, UNTIL & UNLESS WE IMMEDIATELY CUT OFF ALL AID, DECLARE PAKISTAN A TERRORIST STATE, DISMEMBER THEM, SIEZE THEIR NUCLEAR WEAPONS, AND STOP THE THREAT OF THEIR DIASPORA IN THE WEST BY STOPPING THE INFLOW OF UNADAPTABLE MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS INTO THE WEST................NOTHING ELSE WILL WORK.........PERIOD!
The greatest danger from the Pakistani Islamic bomb is to America, Europe, Israel and much less to India. We all should join together to end this menace once & for all.
The Time to act is now, before a Pakistani provided Nuclear bomb explodes over one of our cities. That day is surely not too far off, or far fetched as the CIA & FBI only know too well. The only question is when?
Pakistani PM GILANI – "BLAME MUST BE SHARED BY "ALL THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES OF THE WORLD"!!!!!!!!!!!!. That will strike many as a bit rich, given that the Al Qaeda chief was found not in Abbottstown, PA, or in Abbotsbury in Dorset, but in Abbottabad, little more than the proverbial stone's throw from Pakistan's pre-eminent military academy."
Dawn story – "EXCUSE US, WE KNEW NOTHING" by Mahir Ali
I'm sorry but it just seems absurd to me if the compound appeared to be "military" in nature in a garrison town that the military wouldn't take notice and come calling.
a good article and a real insight into the circumstances , under which the terrorist head lived,,,,agreed with whatever the author has written, beyond any doubt,,,
Kamran Shafi – Ex-Pakistani Major and one of their leading columnists writing in Dawn- Story Title "Clean Bowled"
Check out the Pakistani complicity and also how our aid is being mis-used on things like top of the line BMWs and Mercs that our own military top brass can't even dream of!
"SO WRAPPED UP IN THEIR (PAKISTANI MILITARY) OWN ARROGANCE; SO COMFORTABLE IN THEIR MANSIONS AND MADE-TO-ORDER TOP-OF-THE-LINE MERCEDES AND 7-SERIES BMWS, and secure in the knowledge that they had at least four plots of land in choice housing colonies carved out of military lands were they that the warning sounded by fellow Pakistanis who have also seen some of the world mattered not a whit to them. NO, THEY KNEW IT ALL."!!!
WANT TO READ THE GREATEST OF PAKISTANI CONSPIRACY THEORIES – MANY FROM HIGHLY EDUCATED PAKISTANI AMERICANS, AND EX-PAKISTANI GENERALS (Yes, GENERALS!!!!)......TRULY ENTERTAINING!!!!!
Check out:
In addition to the complex religious, historical, and political issues in Pakistan and Afghanistan, there is the matter of their multi-billion dollar opium trade. (They also smuggle hashish and other illicit items, of course.)
This multi-billion dollar opium (soon to be converted to heroin) trafficking is being done with the full knowledge, support and aid of the military and government.
This opium will soon be converted to heroin, of course, and will cause even more violence and destruction, once it moves to the cities of the US and other parts of the world.
We know something about the corruptive influence of vast sums of drug-money, as we've seen from Mexico, because of their trafficking of cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamine; and, we know how this has corrupted the country and caused so much death and suffering there and throughout the world.
I'm surprised that more isn't being said about the opium (soon to be heroin) trafficking from these countries, the billions of dollars generated by this, and the corruption and violence generated by this.
For all those who said kashmir to be a part of Inida or Pakistan. They are just wrong. See the history. See the promise made by Ghandi in UN. See his speech about kashmir issue if you donot trust. I am Kashmiri and i never like to live either with India or With Pakistan.
ohh boy ... everyone in the world knows that americans are not very smart .. i had some doubts about it before reading all this discussions .. now it's clear: no other country in the worls is more ignorant than the US .. for god's sake .. God MUST blemss America cuz it He does not do that ... what wil these people do in life ?
Extremism exists everywhere. Pakistan is only lime light.
You just have to know it, do the research, and then you will see that there has been more killing of civilians (by Military & extremist) in some other countries, much more than number of people killed in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and US on 911 and as a result of that.
Why media never brings it up? Think about it.
I would ask everyone concerned, to gather number of civilians killed in various regions of the world.
nclude every country, including Germany (Holocaust), Bosnia, Kashmir, Manipur (Eastern region of India), Gujrat, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine.
And then determine who has killed more civilians, Muslims or Non Muslim.
Who ever kills civilians is extremist and bad.
Pakistan is no exception.
Some countries are better at hiding their sins, and good at propaganda. IT does not absolve them.
Propaganda is always based upon half truth.
Who ever kills civilians is bad.
Pakistan is only in lime light.
Please do not pay attention to anyone talking out hate.
Please do not pay attention to anyone using incomplete information.
Please do not pay attention who does not know that drone attacks have killed mostly civilians, and resorted victims of drone attacks to retaliate
Pakistan's economy has taken more than 10 billion dollar of toll on economy since 911
America should stop giving aid, because most of the money goes into administration, consultants, into many deep pockets.
Out of 1.5 billion last year, only 179 million has been accounted for, and all of that has also not gone towards welfare of people.
One should speak out based on total facts, not hate.
Pakistan Military has been fighting terrorists who came to the country from outside, and killed thousands of them.
5000 Pakistani soldier have so far lost their lives fighting terrorists.
Terrorists have been killing civilians inside Pakistan, so far killed 35,000 Pakistanis.
There was no terrorism in Pakistan until 2001
Pakistan allowed the US to destroy Afghanistan government by joining the war on terror with America.
Pakistan did not create Al Qaeda.
Al Qaeda came into Pakistan from outside, mostly through Afghanistan
Where Al Qaeda gets its millions from.
It is not a peanut operation.
Remember Al Qaeda is fighting Pakistani Military & killing Pakistani civilians.
All extremism has to go without discrimination, to attain peace in the world.
Money, hidden agenda, might, propagandistic does not have to be criteria to assess who is extremist and who is not.
Also, we should understand the meaning of collateral damage from the example of fire truck with lights one and siren and some body gets in the way and get killed
It is not collateral damage when almost everyone being killed is civilians, and few extremists get killed. Most of the time they manage to run.
Also, it is true, so called mansions in the frontier province have large gates, high walls, and it is common, it is culture, and nobody pays attention. In fact people out respect and privacy mind their own business.
CNN's Wolf Blitzer REPEATEDLY GRILLS Pak PM Gilani on Osama Bin Laden's whereabouts. Gilani CATEGORICALLY states that OBL is NOT in Pak as the Pakistan military is on top of things and would have easily found out!
Check out their exchange here:
Yes it is true, Pakistanis are with their brothers in Kashmir, and some of them have been covertly & privately 7 occasionally engage in retaliation from time to time.
Indian Military has killed, raped many thousand Muslims in Kashmir since 1947, specially in the last 20 years.
This oppression and their occupation is the underlying cause, that we cannot ignore.
And, Muslims feel it is their obligation to support them, at least at heart, or using pen, by mouth, and some of them use their physical strength.
But the number of ones who covertly try to retaliate in support of their Kashmir brothers are like grain of salt in a bag of rice, very very few.
It is also true, some in military, privately and covertly and rarely, use their capability to retaliate against India in support of their brothers in Kashmir.
Again, these initiatives are exceptions, and initiated by individuals on their own, and strongly disapproved by their departments or the government of Pakistan.
I think such surprises will happen, as long as there will be oppression.
Surprises happen everyday and everywhere, because the underlying causes are generally neglected, and not in control of the concerned department and the government.
Intelligence failures happen everywhere.
As an example, Kargil operation was a surprise for India, an intelligence failure.
Americans missed OBL in Tora Bora, it was their intelligence failure.
911 was apparently a huge intelligence failure.
So was, OBL hiding right under the nose was a huge intelligence failure.
Any way, Pakistan did provide, few years ago, Americans information about the suspicious house in Abbot_Aabaad (Name after Major Jones Abbot), where later Americans killed OBL later
Also, Americans did not jam the radars, the helicopters flew low through the deep mountains where the radars do not pick up the signal. Pakistani F16's did scramble, within the hour, and could not detect the specially equipped helicopters because the radars could not pick them.
Also, it is evident from the event that Americans do not trust Pakistan. I think it leaves no justification to expect Pakistanis to trust Americans, because trust is reciprocal by its nature.
I think it does not make sense to continue cooperations with Pakistan in the absence e of mutual trust
i think we should all speak the truth, does not matter if it mean even if it is against the country of ones origin.
Speaking the truth, gives peace of mind, even if it is against one own self.
Life is short and temporary, and the benefit of lying, speaking half truth, and dismissing others & elevating one own self on their shoulders has huge long term consequences, in the form of surprises by extremists. Killing or oppressing civilians is extremism, regardless who does it.
Similarly, Pakistanis are with their brothers in Taliban and Al Qaida, and some of them have been covertly & privately 7 occasionally engage in retaliation from time to time.
Abbot_Aabaad (Name after Major Jones Abbot) and Gadaafi Stadium in Lahore, named after?
Most of the 500 to 600 million Muslims who live in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan are off springs of former Hindus, who accepted Islam.
Muslim is majority in Kashmir, and they are also offspring of Hindus.
If the minority Hindus have their gods or their shrines in Kashmir, or that Hinduism has been there for thousands of years, does not mean the majority of Hindus whose forefathers had reverted to Islam do not get their self determination democratic right to choose.
The people of Jammu & Kashmir have more rights than a Pakistani in Pakistan. If you count the total number of days Pakistan has been under open military dictatorship.
Forget about Kashmir or Afghanistan. They can manage very well without Pakistan. The reason because there is a problem in both is because of Pakistan (backed terrorism)
Don't believe in any propaganda without your own research, and objective thinking. Propaganda is half truth.
Also, ancient heritage obtained from places like Moenjodaro (Indus Valley is inside Pakistan), Harrapa, Ghandara and other regional ancient civilizations have same historical connection to Muslims and Hindus of that region, unless somebody thinks forefathers of 500 to 600 million Muslims living in the region came from middle east, central Asia, Iran.
Today we have 500 to 600 million Muslims, and we know all Muslims of the region are not from middle east, central Asia.
Also, ask any Kashmiri, and he or she will tell you that Indian military have killed hundreds and thousands of them since 1947, specially in the last 20 to 30 years.
If somebody says, Pakistanis sent terrorist to kill more than 100,000 of their own brothers in Kashmir, that person is not talking sense, obviously.
Indian military atrocities in places Kashmir, Manipur, is not even disputed by many Indians.
Read up on Internet and those authored by Arundhatta Roy, and many other who do not deny it.
We should not be biased.
We should have the courage to look at things with a neutral eye, by blocking our whims or desire how we want it to be.
As an example, Pakistani administration is corrupt and incompetent, it is true. Indian administration is much smarter, that is true also.
World will be a peaceful place, if everybody starts accepting their flaws, and not point finger on one party.
The underlying causes have to identified, and solution determined and implemented, to avoid symptomatic reactions by those get into reactive modes and extremism
"...ancient civilizations have same historical connection to Muslims and Hindus of that region, unless somebody thinks forefathers of 500 to 600 million Muslims living in the region came from middle east, central Asia, Iran."
This is where I do agree with you, but Indus Valley civilizarion of Mohenjodaro, Harrappa or Ghandhara (modern name Kandahar or Afghanistan), have been practically erased from the conciousness of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
They looked upon as inferior infidel culture and of people who are not of the Book.
Objectively, any idea, how many East Pakistani (now Bangladesh) brothers did West Pakistanis kill in its crackdown?
Hello, all the time i used to check website posts here early in the daylight,
as i love to gain knowledge of more and more.
Snorkeling Equipment
Ohhh.... What a hatred i see here btw people of India and Pakistan.....when will they evolve to be loving and peaceful....?

EV not removing shortcuts and leaving duplicates in user's mailbox
Hi guys,
today i stumbeled upon a pretty strange issue when restoring content into a user's mailbox - after the restoration run, it turns out that there are lots (586) shortcuts left, even thotugh the original item was restored successfully and the option to remove the shortcut was selected. Further more if the shortcut itself is selected and "Restore from Vault" is pressed, then the item is restored into the folder a second time (see te pic attached). I forced a seperate "Shortcut processing" run for this specific user (and we have the reg key that instructs EV to delete orphaned shortcuts), but the shortcuts are still there. Then I decided that there might be something wrong with the user's indexes, so i forced a rebuild or the indexes, but the shortcuts remain, as well as the duplicate items.
EV version is 9.0.4 in clustered mode. Exchange is 2010, Outlook is 2010. OS is Windows Server 2008 R2.
P.S. Also, I'd like to ask what are Symantec's recommendations on massive restorations (~90 000 items need to be restored), as well as how to restore only the shortcuts, and no extra content?
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
registry key to remove orphans? it should be an archive policy setting
Anywho, would suggest getting a dtrace of RetrievalTask and MigratorTask and do the restore again and see what happens when it tries to get the shortcut
The only thing i can think of is something like they're shortcuts that belong to another archive
So for instance if you had an archive for a user, it archived a bunch and created shortcuts, you then ran in to issues, you then exported to a pst, deleted the archive, re-created the archive and imported the PST, those shortcuts still belong to the other archive
Then when it goes to do the restore and replace the shortcut it sees that the shortcut doesnt belong to the user and skips it
Its the same way that orphaned shortcuts works in that it will only delete shortcuts that belong to that archive, so if you have shortcuts from other users or other archives, they wont be removed
Your best bet if you are restoring everything and can't get it to work is to create a new mailbox policy set to not archive anything older than 9999 users and set shortcut expiry to 1 day, and then let it delete shortcuts that way
Don't set this on a policy everyone uses though, or you will delete everyones shortcuts
An update on this: I found another user, who had his entire archive restored back into his box, and there are two very strange problems with him - 1st is that from his original ~90000 items he now has ~170000, lots of duplicates and some shortcuts left. 2nd is that when he logs in from his laptop, he gets one number of items, and when he goes onlie (through Citrix) he gets a completely different picture.

Why We+You Love Queens
We often hear from our readers how much they love living in Western Queens. Maybe it's a kind word from someone perusing BORO at a favorite restaurant or while waiting for the train, or perhaps it's a comment on a Facebook post, but one thing is clear: you love your borough.
So, we dug a little deeper to ask readers a simple question: "What do you love most about living in Western Queens?"
~ Leith McMenamin, Student ~
Long Island City is my favorite neighborhood in New York City. I love it because I can get my favorite coffee at Sweetleaf and a delicious mimosa-heavy brunch at Dominies Hoek. The cultural diversity here means that we have some of the most interesting restaurants in the city. Luckily, Gantry Plaza State Park is pretty enough that I want to work off all that delicious food!
~Ran Craycraft, Founder and Blogger at whyleaveastoria.com~
This place has a way of consuming you – in a good way. Astoria was my seventh city as an adult and even though I wasn't a familiar face on the block, the neighborhood instantly gave me a chance. I love that Astoria has an open-door policy and we constantly evolve as a community, every day becoming an even better place to live.
~Heather Park, Director Digital Media NARS Cosmetics~
There's still this incredible quality of realness about Astoria that I cherish. It's old and new worlds living together; an incredible diversity of cultures, countries and cuisines that co-exist in an authentic, harmonious community. Also, people here are pleasant and polite, not pretentious – a refreshing rarity.
~Emma Cason-Pratt, Graphic Designer~
Queens has a good mix of the old and new. Old families, who have raised generations here, foster a sense of safety and community that you just don't get in the other boroughs. New restaurants, shops and nightlife make Queens a destination for the budget-conscious who want Manhattan-quality for an affordable price. All that and it's a quick ride into the city or to the airport.
~Jean McClean, Bookkeeper~
I love Western Queens for the diversity of restaurants. Where else can you have Italian, Mexican, sushi, Indian or any other type of ethnic food you can think of, all within walking distance or a short bus/subway ride away?
~Megan Siefert, Hair Stylist~
I love the restaurants, old and new. The way restaurants challenge themselves and reinvent food is exciting and so convenient! The vintage shops and Steinway Street shopping make it enjoyable to go shopping and not be bombarded with crowds. Astoria Park challenges me to get fit and stay healthy while the pool gives me a chance to cool off and relax over the hot summers. Every day I have the pleasure of walking through Sunnyside Gardens to get to work.
~Christine Haber, Local Artist~
I been living in Astoria, Queens for the past fifteen years. I love it here so much that I started silk screening the I HEART ASTORIA t-shirts. I also work local at Sweet Afton. Living and working in Astoria is so great because of the people and community. Astoria has so much to offer, you never have to leave.

Welcome to our new BusinessWeek blog—Unstructured Finance.
Yeah. Yeah. I know what you're thinking: "Who needs another blog; let alone one about something as discredited as finance.'' But finance isn't dead—although some days it may be hard to find a beating pulse. While it's true that Wall Street is in for a long period of decline, it will come back someday. Even now, as many are burying structured finance and all the exotic securities the Street cranked out, there are people looking to find the next "new, new thing'' that will generate big bucks. After all, there are a lot of out-of-work investment bankers and derivatives traders with time on their hands.
Our hope is to be ahead of the curve on all things in the world of finance. We'll be provocative, newsy and even a little irreverent. Right now, we'll be covering the continuing fallout from the big financial mess that Wall Street has its fingerprints all over. But we're also on the look for those early signs of the inevitable revival of Wall Street.
Most of all we hope you like what you find here. And we look forward to reading your comments and getting ideas and tips from you as well.
BusinessWeek's Adrienne Carter, Jessica Silver-Greenberg, and David Henry deconstruct the mysteries of high finance, Wall Street, and hedge funds for pros and ordinary investors. E-mail them directly if you've got tips about big deals, a hedge fund, or even securities industry gossip.

Kruger, meanwhile, fell unconscious at the wheel of his car as he was driving home his wife and two children. The 39-year-old former back row star recently had a brain tumor removed.
He was admitted to the intensive care unit at Pretoria East Hospital, where he was in a serious but stable condition. He suffered serious head and facial injuries in the crash, although his wife and two daughters received only minor injuries.
