The search box is bigger, there's a new search icon and Google now only shows 2 or 3 specialized search engines next to "all", down from 4. Apps and shopping seem to be missing from the list of search engines, so you can only pick from image search, video search, Google News, Google Maps, Google Flights and Google Books.

The settings dropdown is now placed below the search box and it includes the option that lets you hide private results. You can still change search settings, languages, turn on or turn off SafeSearch, use advanced search options, open Web History or go to the help center.

Search tools are now simply called tools and they include the same options: search by date and verbatim.

Image search lets you quickly go to the saved images page and change SafeSearch setting.

Google Shopping is broken. While the homepage still loads, when you click a product image or search for something, Google shows an empty page.

Here's the old Google Search interface, via Wikipedia:

Did you know that "the name humpback whale describes the motion it makes as it arches its back out of the water in preparation for a dive"? What about this one: "ostriches have the largest eyes of any land living animal and they measure 50 mm (2 inches) in diameter"?

Google now shows random facts about animals in the "did you know" section of the Knowledge Graph card. They're extracted from various sites and Google actually links to the source.

Some example of queries that return random facts: [cat], [lion], [tiger], [alpaca], [giraffe], [ostrich], [duck], [elk], [raccoon], [shark]. It's worth pointing out that you can get another random fact by reloading the page or searching again for the same animal.Alex Chituhttps://email@example.com Searchtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-68289185099827924062016-10-15T00:34:00.000-07:002016-10-15T00:34:47.350-07:00Found in Related SearchesGoogle Knowledge Graph has more than one billion entities and more than 70 billion facts about these entities (people, places, things). It's huge and it brings a different dimension to search: understanding concepts and the relation between them.

Mobile Google Search now has a section called "found in related search", which shows a few entities frequently mentioned in other related searches. For example, I searched for [ethanol molar mass] and Google showed 2 lists of organic and inorganic compounds: one of them was found in the related search [properties of alkanes] and the other was for [polar solvents]. Ethanol is a polar solvent which can be obtained from alkenes, while alkenes can be derived from alkanes, so Google's suggestions are somewhat useful.

This feature is not limited to chemistry, it also works for other topics. Here's a different query: [tour eiffel design], which shows other "towers of the world" and "tourist attractions in France".

When searching for [alcohol with the highest boiling], Google converted my query into a question: "Which alcohol has the highest boiling point?", then it tried to answer the question using a snippet from a web page and then it added a "more results" link. Google's link sent to me to the search results page for the question inferred by Google.

Try entering it below to get suggestions." Google shows a special card for directions with cool features like autocomplete, but the error message is out of place because you haven't typed a location.

Suggestions aren't very smart. For example, I typed "Brisbane, Australia" as the starting point and then I started to type "Mel" as the destination. Google suggested 3 places from California, strictly based on my location, while ignoring that Melbourne is a much better suggestion.

Google shows directions inside the card and you can pick between driving, walking, cycling or using public transportation.

To see the directions, just click the text that describes your favorite route. If there is only one route, pick that one. Another option is to click "directions" and go to the Google Maps site.

Google Maps for Android lets you add home screen shortcuts to directions directly from the app. Just search for directions, tap the menu icon and pick "add route to Home screen". This works best when you select the current location, but it's not a requirement.

You may also see this message: "Go here often? Add this route. Tap here to add a Home screen shortcut to this route."

Another option is to add the directions widget, which lets you pick the shortcut name, whether to start turn-by-turn navigation and more.Alex Chituhttps://email@example.com Mapstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-89849503820509227982016-10-10T05:00:00.000-07:002016-10-10T05:19:55.925-07:00Google Color ConverterGoogle has a special card that's both a color picker and a color converter. For example, you can search for HEX color codes like #123456 and Google shows the color and converts it to other formats: RGB, HSV, HSL, CMYK. Google's card also shows up when you search for RGB values like rgb(255,0,255). The most interesting feature of the card lets you pick a color interactively.

Other queries that trigger Google's card: RGB to HEX, color picker.

This is not a new feature, but it's worth pointing out that Chrome has its own color picker and converter in the developer tools. Click a color in the styles tab to open the color picker and shift-click a color to convert it to a different format.

Now Google announces that Panoramio will become read-only on November 4th and it'll be shut down one year later, in November 2017.

"Today, with photo upload tools in Google Maps and our Local Guides program, we are providing easy ways for you to share your photos with an active and growing community. As such, we've decided to move forward with closing down Panoramio," informs Google. If you've linked your Panoramio account with a Google account, you'll be able to find your photos in Google Album Archive and they'll not use your storage quota. You can also export your photos in Google Takeout.

Google encourages Panoramio users to join the Local Guides program for Google Maps and share photos, add reviews and information about places. "It's all about that warm feeling you get from helping others discover new, enriching experiences. That, and the benefits. Every place you improve on Google Maps gets you closer to unlocking something new - from early access to new products to exclusive contests and events."

If you don't like Google's options, you can delete your Panoramio photos or go to Panoramio's settings page and delete your account.

Google acquired Panoramio in 2007. It was a Spanish startup which had a site that enabled "digital photographers to geolocate, store and organize their photographs and to view those photographs in Google Earth and Google Maps."Alex Chituhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com Mapstag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-61626757726681840762016-10-08T01:39:00.001-07:002016-10-08T01:42:31.474-07:00More Related Searches in Mobile Google SearchGoogle's mobile search interface shows a new box with related searches after clicking a result and going back to the search page. There's a list called "people also search for", which shows queries that are related to both the original search and the search result you've previously visited. Swipe left to see the entire the list.

Google tested this feature back in June and now it's no longer an experiment.Alex Chituhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com Searchtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-19862038934748003592016-10-06T14:16:00.000-07:002016-10-06T14:16:13.619-07:00Android 7.1: Pixel-Only, For NowPixel phones will ship with a new Android version: 7.1. It looks like many of the important Nougat features have been left out from the 7.0 release.

Android 7.1's unofficial changelog published by Android Police has many Pixel-specific features, including a new launcher, a new camera app, Google Assistant, a support tab in the settings, solid navbar icons, Smart Storage that removes old backed up photos and videos when storage is full.

There are also some features that aren't restricted to Pixel devices: night light (filters blue light), fingerprint swipe down gesture, seamless A/B system updates, Daydream VR mode, support for app shortcuts and circular app icons, keyboard image insertion, manual storage manager and more. Unfortunately, Nexus devices and Pixel C will only get a dev preview by the end of 2016, so the stable release will be available in 2017. So much for buying Nexus devices to be the first to get the latest Android updates.

Google Assistant won't be a Pixel exclusive for long, since it's a core Google feature that needs wide adoption. I assume that the launcher and camera app will be also available in the Play Store at some point.Alex Chituhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-54846619138186904372016-10-06T13:19:00.000-07:002016-10-06T13:19:05.741-07:00Why Google Can't Sell Expensive ProductsGoogle announced its first phone and many people wondered why it's as expensive as an iPhone. Nexus phones were sometimes inexpensive (Nexus 4: $299, Nexus 5: $349, Nexus 5X: $379) and sometimes more expensive (Nexus One: $530, Nexus 6: $649, Nexus 6P: $599). Now the 5-inch Pixel costs $649 in the US, while the 5.5-inch Pixel XL costs $769, which is more than any other Nexus phone.

Obviously, Google's pricing was more aggressive when it wanted to sell more products and less aggressive when sales numbers mattered less. The truth is that Google only managed to sell products in high volumes if the price was low enough to make them good value. Chromecast was successful because it offered a lot of value for the money. Nexus 5 was a flagship phone at half the price, so millions of people bought it. Nexus 7 was good enough for $199, but Google's bigger tablets were more expensive and their flaws were more striking.

Google is a "value" brand. Most people associate Google with free ad-supported online services that offer great features. There's no paid Google software for consumers, as Google only sells digital content and subscription services (storage, music). Google is not a lifestyle or luxury brand, so people don't expect to pay much for Google products.

There's a lot of risk associated with Google products, since Google doesn't stand behind them all the time. Some of them are experiments, others are quickly discontinued and forgotten. I still remember that Google stopped selling Nexus One only 6 months after the launch or when Logitech's CEO said back in 2011 that Google TV was a huge and costly mistake. Android One was a flop, Google Play Edition failed, Motorola was acquired by Google and later sold to Lenovo.

Google's commitment issues, its high appetite for releasing beta products, its lack of planning and foresight - all of these problems alienate consumers and make them think twice before buying a Google product. Premium brands are all about image, trust, credibility, heritage.Alex Chituhttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-45309268008799323282016-10-05T13:38:00.000-07:002016-10-05T14:59:55.080-07:00No More Nexus DevicesAfter the launch of Google's Pixel phones, many people wondered if the Nexus brand will be retired or we'll still see Nexus phones, tablets and other Android devices. It looks like the first answer is accurate. According to The Verge, Google says that there are no plans for future Nexus products.

"The idea was to show everyone how it should be done," says Brian Rakowski, VP of product management for Android. "All the partners in the phone manufacturing space took it and built great products on top of it. Meanwhile, Nexus kind of trundled along at the same small scale."

Nexus was the reference Android phone and was mostly for developers and early adopters. Google sent mixed messages: some of the phones were heavily subsidized, others were more expensive, design and features were rarely consistent from one generation to another.

With Android's beta program and Google's efforts to give manufacturers early access to the Android code, Nexus devices became less important. There are also inexpensive "flagship killers" like the OnePlus 3, which only costs $399.

Google got serious about hardware and started to build an ecosystem of devices that work together: phones, tablets, laptops, routers, VR headsets, smart speakers, smart gadgets for your TV. Some of them are great, others will get better or be replaced by products that better fit inside the ecosystem. Google finally realized that "people who are really serious about software should make their own hardware," as Alan Kay said and Steve Jobs quoted.

Challenging Apple when it comes to selling premium hardware is quite difficult. Apple consistently delivers great products, while Google's products are hit and miss (examples of bad apples: Nexus Q, Pixel C, Glass, Nexus 9). Apple has a long-term vision for products, while Google's plans are always changing with many casualties along the way.

"It's very challenging to work on dozens of products and make them all terrific. We have to have a lot of discipline and a lot of focus," says Rick Osterloh, Google's head of hardware and Motorola's former president.

For now, Google admits that Pixel phones "aren't going to have enormous volumes", as this is only the first iteration of the product. The good news is that "touch latency [on the Pixel] is the best of any Android device ever produced. If you put it under high-speed camera, it's on par with an iPhone."

Google has big plans when it comes to hardware and hopes to eventually sell a lot of them. Even if that means competing against its own partners. "We're no longer going to be shy about what we think is the right answer for us. What we are going to do is give the OEM ecosystem a chance to compete, meaning it's a fair playing field," says Rishi Chandra, VP of product management for home products.

This hardware division merges Google's disparate hardware projects to bring more cohesive products that work well together.

Google announced a lot of products today and all of them are made by Google. Nexus phones have been replaced by Pixel phones, Daydream View is a comfortable VR headset that works with Pixel phones, Google Home brings Google Assistant to a smart speaker, Google WiFi is a new router that promises better range and Chromecast Ultra supports 4K and has an Ethernet port. That's quite a lot.

Pixel phones are actually made by HTC, but there's no HTC branding. Pixel and Pixel XL are designed by Google and HTC is only the OEM. The two phones share the same premium hardware (aluminum/glass unibody, Snapdragon 821, 4GB RAM, 32/128GB of storage, AMOLED screens, 12MP camera with gyroscope-based electronic image stabilization), but have different screen sizes (5 inch vs 5.5 inch), resolutions (1920 x 1080 vs 2560 x 1440) and batteries (2770 mAh vs 3450 mAh). They have an impressive camera that scores 89 in the DxOMark Mobile test, which is the highest score for a mobile phone. The camera has a fast f/2.0 lens, hybrid autofocus powered by laser detection and phase detection, zero lag HDR+, powerful stabilization.

Pixel and Pixel XL ship with Android Nougat and they're the first phones that come with Google Assistant, the upgraded voice assistant with a more natural voice, more comprehensive answers and better integration with other services.

"Pixel is available for pre-order today starting at $649 in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Germany and Australia," mentions Google. Pixel XL costs $120 more, while the 128GB options adds $100 to the price, exactly like the iPhone. Google partnered with a few carriers: Verizon, Roger/Telus/Bell in Canada, EE in the UK, Deutsche Telekom in Germany, Telstra in Australia, as well as a few stores like Best Buy and Flipkart.

Daydream View brings virtual reality to everyone (who has a Daydream compatible phone). "Powered by Android 7.0 Nougat, Daydream-ready phones are built with high-resolution displays, powerful mobile processors and high-fidelity sensors—all tuned to support great VR experiences. Google's newest Pixel and Pixel XL are the first Daydream-ready phones, and there are a lot more on the way from leading Android smartphone makers," informs Google. Daydream View is a VR headset and controller that costs $79 and it's comfortable and easy to use. For now, it's mainly a Google Pixel accessory and it will be available in November in the US, Canada, Germany, UK and Australia from the Google Store and all the other carriers and stores that sell Google's phones.

Google Home is a smart wireless speaker with integrated Google Assistant, powerful microphones and noise cancelling technology. It's always listening to "OK Google" (you can quickly disable this feature from the mute button), it has touch controls, far-field voice recognition, Hi-Fi speakers, multi-room support if you buy multiple devices. It also has customizable bases you can buy from the Google Store. Google Home is a clever voice interface for Google, but also for your other smart devices like Chromecast, Nest, Philips Hue and more. IFTTT will make Google Home automation even more powerful.

"Google Home will be available in stores starting in November or you can pre-order yours today for $129 from the Google Store, Best Buy, Target and Walmart," informs Google.

After launching OnHub routers manufactured by TP-Link and Asus, Google came up with its own simplified WiFi router. It's designed to cover a small house or an apartment and you can use multiple Google routers for a larger house. "Network Assist is intelligent software built into Google Wifi to provide you with the fastest possible speed. Behind the scenes, Network Assist automatically helps you avoid Wi-Fi congestion, and transitions you to the closest Wi-Fi point for the best signal." Google's new router has a mobile app that lets you quickly change settings and check stats. For example, you can pause Wi-Fi on a device or prioritize a device.

"Google Wifi will be available for pre-order in the U.S. in November. It will retail for $129 for a single pack, and $299 for a three-pack at the Google Store, Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart."

Chromecast Ultra brings 4K and HDR support, a more powerful hardware and a different charger with Ethernet port. "Chromecast Ultra supports 4K, HDR and Dolby Vision, so you'll get a crisper picture with higher resolution and more vibrant colors. At first, you'll be able to stream 4K content from Netflix, YouTube and Vudu, and we're working to bring more 4K and HDR content on board. Later this year, Google Play Movies & TV will be rolling out 4K content. Chromecast Ultra loads videos 1.8 times faster than other Chromecast devices and includes major Wi-Fi improvements to support streams from full HD to Ultra HD without a hitch," explains Google. "Chromecast Ultra will be available in November for $69 from Best Buy, the Google Store, Target, and Walmart in the U.S., as well as from international retailers in 15 more countries."

Here's the full Google announcement, just in case you missed it:

There's a new upcoming tab in "Your places", which shows a list of upcoming events, including your bookings and reservations from Gmail. Click an event to quickly see the location on the map.

There's also a new "personal content" section in the settings, which lets you disable the integration with Google Contacts, Google Photos, disable location, location history and search history.

You can find it at blog.google and it's called The Keyword.

"We wanted to make it easier for people to find news from Google about what we're up to. With that in mind, today we're launching the Keyword — a new destination for the latest news from inside Google, from Android to Translate. The Keyword is all the stuff we had across 19 blogs, in one place — so you don't have to hop from one blog to another to find the latest update. If you're looking for something from Google from now on, chances are it's here," mentions Emily Wood.

The most interesting thing about this change is that Google abandoned Blogger and uses a completely new blogging platform. There's a section that showcases the latest tweets from Google's main Twitter accounts, a list of the latest stories and news. You can filter blog posts by Google product or by topic and you can use the same filters for search results too.

Google has been testing a similar feature this year in the mobile search interface. It started as an experiment in the Google Search app for Android back in January and now I noticed the same experiment when visiting Google.com in Chrome.

Google shows 5 searches that are currently popular and most of them seem to be related to recent news. Obviously, Google's results include a lot of news articles.

"The difference between trending and normal auto-complete is basically the difference of showing search suggestions based on years of query history vs the past 48 hours of search query history (in the most simplistic way)," says Barry Schwartz, who reported about this last month.Alex Chituhttps://email@example.com Searchtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-73653269032254849092016-09-14T02:07:00.000-07:002016-09-14T02:47:20.041-07:00Google Destinations, Now for DesktopGoogle launched the "plan a trip" feature for mobile phones back in March and now it's available in the regular desktop interface, as well. "Destinations on Google helps you discover and plan your next vacation, right from Google Search," informed Google.

Search for a continent, a country or state you'd like to visit and the Knowledge Graph card has a "plan a trip" section which includes a travel guide, information about hotels and upcoming events.

The travel guide link sends you to a new Google Destinations site which shows beautiful photos, a short description of the place, links to Google Flights, Google Hotel Finder, a trip planning feature, a list of suggested itineraries, top sights, videos, related places, information about climate and the most popular months to visit the place you picked.

Google displays a list of popular itineraries which are generated from the historic visits of other travelers.

The trip planning feature is quite clever. Google shows "highs and lows for the next six months, so you can find the right price tag for you. And as you slide left or right, the results instantly update with real-time fares and rates, pulling from the trillions of flight itineraries and hotels we price every day on Google Flights and Hotel search. You can also customize results further with flight and hotel preferences, including number of stops, hotel class, and number of travelers."

Google Destinations also works for queries like [asia destinations], which shows popular destinations and lets you filter them by interest: beach, culture, golf, hiking, nature, scuba diving, shopping, skiing, wildlife.

If you click the arrow icon next to "reply" and then "show original", you'll see a list of headers like "message ID", "from", "to", "subject", "SPF", "DKIM", a link for downloading the message and then the actual text of the message. Until now, Gmail only displayed the text of the message.

The new interface also displays help center links with additional information about SPF records, DKIM signatures and the DMARC standard. All of these values are useful for identifying spoofed email messages, which forge the sender address.

Just search for [solitaire] or [tic tac toe] and you can quickly start the games.

Solitaire has 2 difficulty levels: easy and hard. The game has realistic sounds and animations (you can mute sounds) and it also shows your stats, just like any other Solitaire app. Unfortunately, Google doesn't save your state, so you can't resume a game later.

Tic-Tac-Toe is much simpler and less pretty. You can choose between 3 difficulty levels (easy, medium and impossible) or pick an option that lets you play against a friend. The easy level always lets you win, the medium level lets you win sometimes, while in the impossible level you can never win.

An older game you can still play from Google Search is Pac-Man. It's actually the interactive doodle from May 21, 2010.

As you probably noticed, Google Photos doesn't show photos uploaded using other Google services, so it can't fully replace Picasa Web Albums or Google+ Photos. Google Album Archive lets you see, download or delete photos from Picasa Web Albums, Google+, Blogger, Hangouts, Google Drive and Google Photos.

Album Archive doesn't have a search feature, but there are separate sections for Google services. For example, you can find all the photos uploaded to Hangouts in one place.

If you're wondering what's happening with Picasa Web Albums links, this article has some answers:

MIM withdraws support to AP government, informs Governor
Hyderabad: Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) Saturday handed over a letter to Andhra Pradesh Governor ESL Narasimhan about withdrawal of its support to the Congress government in the state. The decision came in the wake of communal tension here over a temple abutting Charminar.
MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi called on the governor at Raj Bhavan and handed over the letter, informing him about his party`s decision to withdraw the support to the state government.
It accused the government of allowing expansion of the temple abutting the historic Charminar in alleged violation of the court`s order to maintain status quo.
The MIM sources said though the party was not formally extending support to the government, the letter was submitted to the governor as the party had opposed the no-confidence motion moved against the government by opposition Telugu Desam Party last year.
Owaisi, who is the member of Parliament from Hyderabad, explained to the governor the circumstances which led to his party withdrawing support.
The MIM, which has seven members in 294-member assembly, Monday announced its decision to withdraw support to the Congress government in the state. Owaisi, the lone MP of the party, also withdrew support to the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the centre.
Owaisi said his party was compelled to take the decision due to "communal" behaviour of Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy.

This time of year, our minds are all turning to holidays, quick breaks and get aways.

Head over to our bags collection and take a Flatspot luggage focus on backpacks, totes, hold-alls and duffle bags to help you make the most of getting away.

Rob's Sri Lanka trip 2015
Cycling the island's End to End: Dondra Head to Point Pedro
Monday, 23 February 2015
Day 41 (India): Kovalam
My last couple of days in India were spent in the beach resort of Kovalam (pic), not far from the Kerala capital Thiruvananthapuram, and certainly not far from the end of the sign for it. My guesthouse was right on the beachfront, so I could easily enjoy a dip at any time of day. And for once I don't mean the tasty multicoloured ones you swab your rotis and chapattis in.
Though very touristy, with lots of middle-aged Europeans and Russians here to do yoga and meditation, and a beachfront chock-full with cafes, traditional massage and health spas, restaurants, souvenir shops and travel agents, it's also a real working fishing village (pic)...
...and every evening the beachfront restaurants put fish out on display right off the boats (pic). You choose the one you want and how you want it cooked (spicy, in my case, and baked in the tandoori, with chips and salad), and enjoy a huge delicious fresh fish supper for only a few quid.
If you want a beer to wash it down, it comes disguised in a tea mug, and you hide the bottle under the table, because the restaurants aren't licensed. Nobody would ever guess – except for the fact that every restaurant does it.
That's all from this blog. From here I fly back to Colombo to pick up my bike, then fly back home. It's been a glorious month of cycling in Sri Lanka, with a feeling of discovery of an underrated biking destination, and the fortnight's 'holiday' afterwards in south India was just as thrilling, culturally fascinating, and plain delightful as I'd hoped.
And, er, did I mention that I really enjoyed eating all that fabulous Indian food? I'll be pleased to get back to proper beer, though. Not in mugs. And not having to hide the bottle under the table.

Day 39 (India): Kanyakumari
Well, given the premise of the Sri Lankan bit of this trip, I could hardly ignore a bus labelled 'End to End' (pic). The six-hour journey took me from Madurai down to Kanyakumari: India's equivalent of Land's End, at the very bottom of the country's triangle. As usual, it took me a while to get to the point, but I got there in the end.
And this is it: the last bit of India, thronging with domestic coach parties and touring families. The next thing you hit going south is Antarctica. The next thing you hit going north is four million stalls selling tourist tat.
The place has quite a special significance for Indians, with Hindu temples, a Gandhi memorial, and statues commemorating a local poet (pic). This is the view from my hotel, which has a rooftop pool, a place of special significance for me.
The very-end bit was packed with Indians doing their ritual duty: taking selfies and dropping litter. I didn't want to do either. Getting someone to take my pic for me (pic) was a lot easier than finding a bin, though.
Not all the stalls sell souvenirs. There are quite a few food and drink places too. I wasn't quite sure if this was a misprint for 'shakes' or 'snacks'. Or maybe they actually do snake curry. I think I'll stick to my cauliflower masala.
Friday, 20 February 2015
Day 38 (India): Madurai
A bus took me – and about 400 others, most crammed standing in the aisle – down off the hills to the big city of Madurai. It's famous for its huge temple complex in the middle of the town, landmarked by four massive towers (pic)...
...which, as usual for Hindu temples, contain an astonishing number of incredibly detailed statues of deities. These appear to the patron saints of 1980s footballers, to judge by their tight shorts.
The Indian love of multicolours extends to their food. This is the thali I had for lunch: a sort of individual buffet of dips, curries, sauces and chutneys, with unlimited supplies of flatbread and rice (pic). You could almost mistake it for a painter's palette.
I haven't seen bicycle rickshaws on this trip in India until now. (They used to be everywhere, but have been replaced by three-wheeled motorised ones.) There are several in Madurai, however. Whether it's a tourist thing (the place is full of domestic visitors) I don't know, but there are certainly lots of cargo bikes hauling mighty loads (pic). I've moved the odd fridge by bike trailer, too, hence our exchange of smiles, the brotherhood of trailer-bikers.

Day 37 (India): Kodaikanal
It took me a couple of days (Day 35 and 36), overnighting in the hot, busy town of Coimbatore, to get here by bus. Kodaikanal is a cool and serene hill station, 2000m up in the Western Ghats, that offers sticky travellers with ineffectively self-laundered clothes welcome respite from the heat of the plains. It was certainly nippy this morning walking the ridges (pic) as I hiked to the hillside village of Vattakanal. Good job I packed that sweatshirt.
Kodaikanal's amiable streets, full of good local restaurants and chocolate shops, rise away from the pretty lake in the centre of town (pic). A stroll round the lake takes a pleasant hour, or less if you're intent on having a deliciously spicy gobi masala for lunch and buying some chocolate. Presumably choc is a speciality here because, unlike down on the plains, it won't melt away as soon as you put it in the shop window.
Tuesday, 17 February 2015
Day 34 (India): Kochi by bike
I hired a bike today to explore the historic centre of Fort Kochi / Cochin (pic). Rs100 got me a day's full use of a typical Indian model: a Hercules, complete with rod brakes, single speed, clanking bottom bracket, precarious back-wheel stand, unreliable rear-wheel lock, and front wheel that sticks forward so much it steers like a wheelbarrow. Plus the saddle had more springs and coils than an elephant's mattress, and felt about as comfy.
It was great fun, weaving through the local streets among the cars, autorickshaws, goats, buses and pedestrians, all going in different directions. The touristy area of Jew Town was too full of coach parties and trinket shops for my liking, though – I much preferred the quieter back lanes and side streets (pic). There were lovely cheap local places to eat too – but the pound I spent on the bike hire was still the best-value purchase in India.
Sunday, 15 February 2015
Day 33 (India): Alleppey to Kochi
A final trip through the backwaters today, this time on a public boat from Alleppey to Kottayam (pic). Actually that's not our boat. Ours was nowhere near as shiny and new. Or level.
The middle of the trip was across vast lakes (pic). It cost just Rs19 (20p), took three hours, and was full of locals hopping on and off at remote rural stops – the aquatic equivalent of a local bus, only much slower, and without having to overtake lorries on blind bends. All great fun.
We saw curios such as rice-fields on reclaimed land that is much lower than the surrounding canals that drain them (they have to be pumped constantly), and this island church seemingly in the middle of nowhere (pic).
From Kottayam to Kochi, the huge capital city of Kerala state, was one of those clanky, ancient local buses. These are a classic Indian experience: scarily fast, hurtling round corners, overtaking everything even if there's things coming the other way, and barely stopping when they pick up or drop off passengers. Then came another classic Indian experience: queueing for the ferry ticket across to the historic old town on the island of Fort Kochi (pic). It took an hour to buy my ticket (and all for a Rs4 fare). In a country that invented zero and infinity, though, an hour is nothing special.
Saturday, 14 February 2015
Day 32 (India): Alleppey kayaking
The backwaters are the best bit of Kerala, and the best way to do the backwaters is by kayak. Today, thanks to a friendly little tour-hire outfit in Alleppey, I spent a blissful day paddling the canals and channels with a small group (pic). Samson, the guide, and I were the most experienced paddlers and the fastest boat. That meant we were the rescue party when others got lost, so we got lots of extra paddling. I'd earned my beer that evening.
We stopped for snacks and coconut-water drinks en route, and were entertained by this rather tame Krishna Eagle (pic). They eat poisonous snakes. By gum, they like their food spicy down here.
The main routes get very busy and noisy with motorised houseboats. But thanks to squeezing under limbo-dancing low bridges like this (pic) we could slip away from them into quiet and remote waters. Here you could hear nothing except birdsong, village chatter, and the peaceful lapping of paddles. And the frequent shrieks of the accident-prone paddler from Bengaluru who kept going the wrong way, losing her shoes, and falling in.
This is the sort of thing we saw much of the day. I was just beaming with happiness all day, as was Tim (pic), an Aussie working in Bengaluru. When he updated me on the progress of the Australia–England world cup match, though, he was smiling rather more than I was.

text: Cast: 7m., 4w. Christmas is approaching and William Garrett is very happy. It's 1872 and his three closest friends are over for their weekly meeting of the Shakespeare Study Club, where Shakespeare takes a back seat to poker and no women are allowed. Nora, his impetuous teenage daughter, is the first to break the sacred rule. Then the Study Club is interrupted again—this time by a domineering mother-in-law who never hesitates to speak her mind. The last intruder is Reverend Fowler who stops by for a little Shakespeare and then makes an astonishing revelation that leads to Christmas insanity. Written by the master of unexpected comedy, this is a happy play to launch your Christmas season. One int. set. Approximate Running Time: 90 minutes.

With the exception of uncued panic attacks, they're probably easy to spot. Does just the thought of standing in a long grocery store line make you panic? Do you feel anxious around a lot of people? Or perhaps you get nervous at the thought of going out of the house alone. Identifying your triggers is an important first step in learning to cope with them.

Many panic disorder sufferers partake in maladaptive behaviors, including avoidance. Even though avoiding a panic-producing situation may feel better in the short term, in the long run, avoidance will actually lead to increased anxiety.

In order to learn to cope with your panic and anxiety, you have to practice your skills while experiencing your distressing symptoms. If certain situations are just too difficult, or you are too fearful to do this, you can experience the situation by means of roleplaying or just imagining yourself in the situation.

Are you at a 2 with little discomfort or are you at an all out 10? Evaluate and think about your anxiety level while in the stressful situation. This will help you gain a sense of where you are with your panic and anxiety. You can use this baseline to evaluate your progress as you work towards recovery.

Relaxation techniques are a proactive why to better relax while learning to manage your symptoms. These skills are easy to learn and can be practiced on a regular basis to help alleviate your symptoms. Some techniques that may help you deal with anxiety or diffuse a panic attack include:

Positive Affirmations
Deep Breathing
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Thought Stopping

The more often you are able to use your coping techniques to minimize anxiety and panic, the easier it will be to call upon skills. Soon you will realize that you are better able to control your panic disorder symptoms. Through continued practice, you should begin to notice a difference in how you approach your condition.

Are your coping techniques working? The goal is not necessarily to be anxiety-free. Instead, determine if your coping skills have lead you to small changes. Over time, little changes will add up and before you know it, you will have a better grip on your symptoms.

We've heard of bee-stung lips...but bee-stung skin? If Kate Middleton is on board with it, then so are we! After being introduced to the Heaven Bee Venom Mask ($117; heavenskincare.com) by Camilla Parker-Bowles, the Duchess used it to prep her complexion the night before her royal wedding to Prince William. Clearly, it worked! And just as the name suggests, the mask is packed with a dose of bee venom, which has been dubbed "nature's botox" thanks to its ability to tighten and firm skin. The venom increases circulation and stimulates collagen production, causing fine lines and wrinkles to buzz off almost instantly. We were so intrigued by the bizarre beauty offering, that we rounded up more of the hottest skin products with the weirdest ingredients—from dragon blood to snail slime.

DARIUS HARRISON,PETITIONER,v.JOSEPH T. SMITH,RESPONDENT.
The petitioner, appearing pro se, filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 seeking to vacate his judgment of conviction. After a jury trial in New York State Supreme Court, Bronx County, the petitioner was convicted of one count of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the first degree. On April 3, 2000, he was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence of fifteen years to life. On March 30, 2007, pursuant to New York's Drug Law Reform Act of 2004, the petitioner was resentenced to a determinate term of sixteen years imprisonment.
The petitioner argues in his petition that (1) the introduction of illegally seized evidence at trial violated his rights under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution; (2) he was improperly cross-examined regarding his prior drug convictions, depriving him of his right to due process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution; (3) he was denied effective assistance of trial counsel; and (4) he was denied effective assistance of appellate counsel.
The Court has received and reviewed the July 14, 2011, Report and Recommendation by Magistrate Judge Maas, which recommends that the petition be denied. The Court has also received the petitioner's objections to the Report and Recommendation, which objects to the Magistrate Judge's conclusions that (1) the petitioner was given a full and fair opportunity to litigate his claims regarding the evidence that was introduced, (2) cross-examination of the petitioner regarding his prior drug conviction was not in violation of "clearly established federal law," (3) the petitioner's claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel is procedurally barred, and (4) the petitioner's appellate counsel's decision not to raise the issue of ineffective assistance of trial counsel did not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel. The petitioner asks that his petition for a writ of habeas corpus be granted.
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 72(b) and 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the Court has reviewed de novo the Magistrate Judge's disposition of the petitioner's claims. For the reasons explained below and in the Magistrate Judge's thorough Report and Recommendation, the Court finds that the objections are unfounded, and the Court adopts the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation.
The petitioner objects to the Magistrate Judge's finding that the petitioner had a full and fair opportunity to litigate his Fourth Amendment claim sufficient to bar reexamination of the claim on habeas review. The petitioner argues that he was the subject of an unconstitutional search and seizure and the evidence subsequently introduced against him should have been suppressed as a violation of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
"Federal habeas corpus relief is not available on the ground that evidence produced at trial was the result of an unconstitutional search and seizure, unless the state denied the prisoner an opportunity for full and fair litigation of the claim." Grey v. Hoke, 933 F.2d 117, 121 (2d Cir. 1991) (citing Stone v. Powell, 428 U.S. 465 (1976)). To demonstrate that he was denied a full and fair opportunity to litigate his Fourth Amendment claim, the petitioner must show either (a) "the state has provided no corrective procedures at all to redress the alleged [F]ourth [A]mendment violations; or (b) if the state has provided a corrective mechanism...the defendant was precluded from using that mechanism because of an unconscionable breakdown in the underlying process." Capellan v. Riley, 975 F.2d 67, 70 (2d Cir. 1992) (citing Gates v. Henderson, 568 F.2d 830, 840 (2d Cir. 1977 (en banc)).
As Magistrate Judge Maas correctly concluded, the petitioner has demonstrated neither a lack of corrective procedures nor an unconscionable breakdown in the underlying process. (Report and Recommendation at 19-21.) The corrective procedures were adequate. The petitioner litigated his Fourth Amendment claim pursuant to Section 710 of the New York Criminal Procedural Law. "[F]ederal courts have approved New York's procedure for litigating Fourth Amendment claims, embodied in N.Y. Crim. Proc. § 710.10 et seq. (McKinney 1984 & Supp.1988), as being facially adequate." Capellan, 975 F.2d at 70 n.1 (citations omitted).
Although the petitioner was denied a suppression hearing, the absence of a suppression hearing, in and of itself, does not rise to the level of an "unconscionable breakdown" in the underlying process sufficient to deprive the petitioner of a full and fair opportunity to litigate. See Cimino v. Conway, 08 Civ. 6318, 2011 WL 815677, at *9 (W.D.N.Y. Mar. 2, 2011); Small v. Artus, No. 07 Civ. 1117, 2009 WL 2707319, at *13 (E.D.N.Y. Aug. 20, 2009).
Rather than introduce evidence to demonstrate an unconscionable breakdown in the underlying process, the petitioner reargues the merits of his Fourth Amendment claim. "[M]ere disagreement with the outcome of a state court ruling is not the equivalent of an unconscionable breakdown in the state's corrective process." Capellan, 975 F.2d at 72. Therefore, the petitioner's objection to the rejection of his Fourth Amendment claim is overruled.
The petitioner objects to the Magistrate Judge's finding that the petitioner's right to Due Process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was not violated by the trial court's decision to allow the prosecution to cross-examine him regarding a prior drug conviction.
"[I]t is not the province of a federal habeas court to re-examine state-court determinations on state-law questions." Estelle v. McGuire, 502 U.S. 62, 67--68 (1991). Instead, the Court examines whether the admission of the evidence in question so violated the petitioner's Due Process right as to require the grant of a writ of habeas corpus. See Estelle, 502 U.S. at 68.
In his Report and Recommendation, the Magistrate Judge concluded that no relief could be granted for the alleged error in question because the United States Supreme Court has not yet clearly established "when the admission of prior crimes under state evidentiary laws can constitute a federal due process violation." (Report and Recommendation at 22 (citation omitted.)) Therefore, the Magistrate Judge concluded, it could not be said that the decision to allow cross-examination of the defendant with respect to his prior convictions for attempted criminal sale of controlled substance was "contrary to" or an "unreasonable application of" clearly established federal law. Therefore, the petitioner's claim was not a basis for habeas relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1). (Report and Recommendation at 14-15, 23.)
The petitioner objects, and claims that the limited cross-examination regarding his prior drug convictions was prejudicial because it led the jury to believe that the petitioner had a propensity for drug dealing. The petitioner never responds to the Magistrate Judge's conclusion that allowing impeachment of the defendant with respect to a prior narcotics conviction was not "contrary to" or an "unreasonable application of" clearly established federal law, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1). The petitioner points to no decisions of the Supreme Court that would have precluded the cross examination.
It is true that a state court's evidentiary ruling may rise to the level of a Due Process violation, but only if it rendered the trial so fundamentally unfair that it denies the defendant his right to Due Process as guaranteed by the Constitution. See Estelle, 502 U.S. at 75; Collins v. Scully, 755 F.2d 16, 18 (2d Cir. 1985); Allaway v. McGinnis, 301 F. Supp. 2d 297, 300 (S.D.N.Y. 2004).
In this case, the trial judge determined that the prosecution could cross-examine the petitioner about his prior felony conviction for attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance, but could not elicit the degree of the felony. (Hr'g Tr. 12-13, Feb. 8, 2000.) The trial judge also allowed cross-examination of the petitioner's prior misdemeanor conviction, failure to appear in court, as well as the violation of a court order directing him to appear in court. (Hr'g Tr. 12-15, Feb. 8, 2000.) In making his ruling, the trial judge balanced the interests of both parties, examined the nature of the previous convictions and bad acts, the extent to which the evidence in question weighed on the petitioner's credibility, the evidence's prejudicial effect, and determined that the prejudice did not outweigh the evidence's probative value. (Hr'g Tr. 12-15, Feb. 8, 2000.)
Moreover, during the trial judge's charge to the jury, he specifically instructed them that any evidence of the petitioner's prior crimes or bad acts "may not be considered by the jury as demonstrating any propensity or tendency [of the petitioner] to commit the crimes charged or any other crimes." (Trial Tr. vol. 4, 346-47, Feb. 10, 2000.) The jury is presumed to have understood and followed these instructions. Zafiro v. United States, 506 U.S. 534, 540 (1993). Accordingly, the petitioner has failed to show that the evidentiary ruling denied him Due Process as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.
The petitioner objects to the Magistrate Judge's finding that his ineffective assistance of trial counsel claim was procedurally barred from habeas review.
A federal court is precluded from reviewing a claim if the state court's prior denial of that claim rested on an adequate and independent state law ground. See Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 749-50 (1991) (citations omitted); Williams v. Artus, 691 F. Supp. 2d 515, 524 (S.D.N.Y. 2010). The state court found that the petitioner procedurally defaulted on his ineffective assistance of trial counsel claim under CPL § 440.10(2)(c), by failing to raise the claim on direct appeal, despite having had the opportunity to do so. (Opinion of Jan. 22, 2008 ("Marcus Opinion"), Whetstone Decl. Ex. 4, at 13-15.) A New York court's ruling on CPL § 440.10(2)(c) grounds constitutes an adequate and independent state law ground. See Clark v. Perez, 510 F.3d 382, 393 (2d Cir. 2008); Sweet v. Bennett, 353 F.3d 135, 139-40 (2d Cir. 2003).
The petitioner could only avoid procedural default by showing (a) both cause for the default and actual prejudice resulting from a violation of federal law; or (b) that failure to consider his claims will result in a fundamental miscarriage of justice. See Coleman, 501 U.S. at 750. Cause for default must be based on some circumstance external to the defense which prevented the petitioner from raising the claim. Murray v. Carrier, 477 U.S. 478, 488 (1986). While examples of such cause do include attorney error, "[a]attorney error short of ineffective assistance of counsel does not constitute cause for a procedural default...." Murray, 477 U.S. at 492; see also Aparicio v. Artuz, 269 F.3d 78, 91 (2d Cir. 2001). Prejudice must be based on a showing that a prior failure to raise a claim has a substantial injurious effect on the case. Murray, 477 U.S. at 494. To allege a fundamental miscarriage of justice, the petitioner must establish proof of actual innocence. Coleman, 501 U.S. at 748-50. The Magistrate Judge implicitly concluded that the petitioner had failed to demonstrate either cause and prejudice or actual innocence to excuse his failure to comply with the state procedural rule, because the Magistrate Judge concluded that this claim was procedurally defaulted. (Report and Recommendation at 17-19.) Nevertheless, the Magistrate Judge did consider the merits of the claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel because that was part of the claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel which was not procedurally defaulted. (Report and Recommendation at 17-19.)
The petitioner objects to the finding of procedural default and argues that he should not have been procedurally barred by CPL § 440.10(2)(c) because he attempted to raise the issue of ineffective assistance of trial counsel on direct appeal at the earliest time possible. (See Obj. 18-20.) The petitioner claims that he asked his appellate counsel to raise the issue of ineffective assistance of trial counsel and, when his attorney would not cooperate, he attempted to submit a supplemental brief raising the issue pro se. (See Obj. 18-20.) The Appellate Division denied the petitioner's request to submit the supplemental brief. Despite the petitioner's attempts at raising the issue of ineffective assistance of trial counsel, the procedural bar still applies because, as explained below, the failure to raise the issue of ineffectiveness of trial counsel did not rise to the level of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. Appellate counsel's decision not to raise the issue did not amount to cause excusing the procedural default. See Jones v. Barnes, 463 U.S. 745, 751-52 (1983) (holding counsel may decide what issues to present to the court); see also People v. White, 539 N.E.2d 577, 581-83 (N.Y. 1989) (holding defendant has no right to submit a pro se supplemental brief if dissatisfied with the issues counsel has decided to raise on appeal).
The petitioner has not demonstrated that there existed cause and prejudice or that he was actually innocent. The argument regarding the ineffective assistance of trial counsel is barred by the adequate and independent state ground of CPL § 440.10(2)(c). Accordingly, the petitioner cannot directly argue the ineffectiveness of his trial counsel on collateral review. In any event, however, as the Magistrate Judge correctly concluded, the petitioner has failed to show that he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel, which is the cornerstone for his argument of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel.
The petitioner objects to the Magistrate Judge's finding that his appellate counsel was not ineffective. The petitioner contends that the New York State Supreme Court Appellate Division, First Department, unreasonably applied federal law in denying him coram nobis relief based on his claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel for his appellate counsel's failure to raise the ineffectiveness of his trial counsel.
In considering the petitioner's argument, there are several levels of deference. First, in considering the claim, the Court may grant relief only if the state court, here the First Department, rendered a decision that "was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable application of, clearly established [f]ederal law, as determined by the Supreme Court of the United States," or "was based on an unreasonable determination of the facts in light of the evidence presented in the State court proceeding." 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1)-(2); see also Vega v. Walsh, 669 F.3d 123, 126 (2d Cir. 2012).
Second, in assessing a claim that a habeas petitioner has been denied the effective assistance of counsel to which he is entitled under the Sixth Amendment, the Court applies the standard established by Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668 (1984). "Establishing that a state court's application of Strickland was unreasonable under § 2254(d) is . . . more difficult" than a claim on direct appeal under Strickland because both standards are "highly deferential." Harrington v. Richter, 131 S. Ct. 770, 788 (2011) (citation omitted). Under Strickland, the petitioner must meet a two-pronged test: (1) he must show that counsel's performance was so deficient that, "in light of all the circumstances, the identified acts or omissions were outside the wide range of professionally competent assistance," 466 U.S. at 690; and (2) he must show "that the deficient performance prejudiced the defense," id. at 687, in the sense that "there is a reasonable probability that, but for counsel's unprofessional errors, the result of the proceeding would have been different," id. at 694; see also Aparicio, 269 F.3d at 95 (applying Strickland standard to claim of ineffective assistance of appellate counsel). Because Strickland's general standard has a substantial range of reasonable applications, the question under § 2254(d) is not whether counsel's actions were reasonable, but whether there is any reasonable argument that counsel satisfied Strickland's deferential standard. See Harrington, 131 S. Ct. at 785-87. The petitioner has not met that burden.
The petitioner argues that his appellate counsel's performance was deficient because his appellate counsel did not raise the issue of the ineffectiveness of his trial counsel, and that the failure to raise the ineffectiveness of his trial counsel prejudiced the petitioner's defense. As the Magistrate Judge recognized, analyzing whether it was deficient for the petitioner's appellate counsel to fail to raise the ineffectiveness of his trial counsel requires analyzing the viability of the claim that the petitioner's trial counsel was himself ineffective. (Report and Recommendation at 19.) Appellate counsel "is not obliged to advance every non-frivolous argument that could be made . . . . [Strickland] created only an 'objective standard of reasonableness' for the assessment of attorney performance. In making that assessment we must 'indulge a strong presumption that counsel's conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance,' and be watchful to 'eliminate the distorting effects of hindsight.'" Aparicio, 269 F.3d at 95 (citing Strickland, 466 U.S. at 689).
The Magistrate Judge found that, given the facts of the case, the petitioner's trial counsel acted reasonably in his strategic decision-making on the motion to suppress. (Report and Recommendation at 24-27.) The petitioner objects and contends that his trial counsel was ineffective because (a) he omitted crucial facts that would have demonstrated the petitioner's standing to suppress the drug evidence that he allegedly abandoned in his flight from the police, and (b) had his trial counsel argued that the police lacked reasonable suspicion to approach the defendant, the drug evidence would have been suppressed. (See Obj. at 1, 10).
When alleging that an attorney was deficient regarding a motion to suppress, the petitioner must show that (1) a competent attorney would have made the proper motion, (2) that the motion would have been granted and (3) that the outcome of the petitioner's trial would have been different. See Lopez v. Grenier, 323 F. Supp. 2d 456, 472 (S.D.N.Y. 2004). As the Magistrate Judge recognized, for the motion to suppress to have been successful, the defendant would have had to admit to possessing the drugs to establish standing. (Report and Recommendation at 24-27.) Without an admission of possession by the defendant, the argument that the petitioner urges, that the police violated his Fourth Amendment rights by approaching him without reasonable suspicion, would not have resulted in the suppression of the evidence, because if the petitioner did not have a "possessory interest" in the drugs, he had no standing to object to their seizure. See United States v. Salvucci, 448 U.S. 83, 90-93 (1980); People v. Ponder, 429 N.E.2d 735, 737 (N.Y. 1981). There was no other plausible basis for standing such as an expectation of privacy in the place where the drugs were found because they were abandoned on the street. See People v. Gomez, 492 N.E.2d 778, 779 (N.Y. 1986).
Had the defendant admitted to possession for the purposes of the suppression motion, his trial strategy of denying possession would have been ruined. The admission of possession would have been used against the defendant on cross-examination after he testified to having never possessed the drugs. (Report and Recommendation at 24-26; see also Marcus Opinion at 18 (finding "a personal admission by the defendant of possession in the motion papers would have doomed his trial defense").) See United States v. Jaswal, 47 F.3d 539, 543 (2d Cir. 1995) ("Prior inconsistent suppression hearing testimony may properly be used to impeach a defendant during trial.") Therefore, because these decisions were reasonable strategic choices, counsel's failure to argue that the police lacked reasonable suspicion, and failure to argue that the defendant possessed the drugs, did not rise to the level of ineffective assistance of counsel.
The petitioner further objects and argues that his trial counsel was ineffective because he failed to object to the state's abandonment theory on the grounds that the seizure of the drugs was tainted because the police lacked reasonable suspicion to stop him at the outset. The Magistrate Judge concluded that the motion to suppress could not have been granted because the petitioner abandoned the drugs prior to his seizure. (Report and Recommendation at 21-22, 25-26 (citations omitted).) The petitioner's objection is without merit. Under federal law, the petitioner was not seized until he was physically restrained. See California v. Hodari D., 499 U.S. 621, 626 (1991); United States v. Baldwin, 496 F.3d 215, 218 (2d Cir. 2007). Similarly, the trial court reasonably found that under New York law, the seizure of the property was lawful because it was the result of an independent act of abandonment. (Marcus Opinion at 19.) See People v. Curtis, 813 N.Y.S.2d 434, 435 (App. Div. 2006) (the "defendant's independent act of discarding the cocaine during the foot chase was a strategic, calculated decision and not a spontaneous reaction to the police activity"). Moreover, as the Magistrate Judge found, the petitioner's argument could not have resulted in the suppression of the drugs because he had no standing to object to that seizure (Report and Recommendation at 27.)
The petitioner's objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation are overruled. It was not unreasonable for the state court to hold that the failure of the petitioner's trial counsel to object on the grounds the petitioner claims did not rise to the level of ineffective assistance of counsel.
The Magistrate Judge found that because the petitioner's trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance of counsel, the petitioner's appellate counsel's decision not to assert an ineffective assistance of trial counsel claim on appeal was not ineffective assistance of appellate counsel. (Report and Recommendation at 28.) The petitioner objects on the ground that his appellate counsel was deficient because he omitted arguing an issue that "obviously would have resulted in a reversal," namely the ineffective assistance of the petitioner's trial counsel. However, the petitioner's trial counsel was not ineffective. Because the trial counsel was not ineffective, the Magistrate Judge was correct in concluding that the appellate counsel was similarly not ineffective for failing to bring a claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. (Report and Recommendation at 28 (citing Larrea v. Bennett, 368 F.3d 179, 183-84 (2d Cir. 2004).) Furthermore, given the highly deferential standard on collateral review, it cannot be said that the state court's decision that there had been no

The art of extreme couponing—or collecting web, newspaper and even mail-order coupons and combining them with in-store deals and rewards cards to cut grocery bills by upwards of 100 percent—has obvious perks. There's security in knowing you could stop shopping and live off your stockpile of groceries and household supplies for a year. Who wouldn't want to own enough Vitamin Water to fill a pool? But there's a downside, too—and not just for the kids whose mothers are stashing ungodly amounts of Cheerios under their beds or the people stuck in line behind couponers at the grocery store. With the success of TLC show Extreme Couponing, people are starting to pay more attention to the coupons they once threw away. They're bitching more when they aren't saving what they want to and, as a big-box store employee recently told me, making everyone in customer service hate their jobs even more than normal. So, hey, people, let's leave the extreme couponing to the professionals—and by professionals, I mean the housewives digging through other people's recycling bins. That's pretty extreme.

Art in the Dark
What's an appropriate response to the world's giant, overwhelming art fairs? One was the Milwaukee International, an alternate alternative fair that was petite enough to fit in a Riverwest beer and bowling hall in 2006 and 2008.
As many of us prepare to go to Art Chicago, some Milwaukeeans organized another response to the fat fair phenomenon, the Dark Fair, in Cologne this week.
It was a miniature fair with booths the size of, well, booths at your local diner. The use of electricity was strictly banned, leaving people to see art by candlelight or flashlight. Or, by the glow of the art itself.
Several works of art were submerged in water. I don't know why? Some pithy commentary on the idea of not-yet-emerged art?
The Dark Fair was organized by Nicholas Frank, Scott Reeder, John Riepenhoff, Elysia Borowy-Reeder and Tyson Reeder, organizers of the Milwaukee International as well as the upcoming Ice Fair, which will take place on a frozen lake in Winnipeg next year.
