Captain Zakharov: A COIN All-Star in Afghanistan
2007-07-25 02:06:00 July 24, 2007. While the Soviet-Afghan War more often than not provides the NATO/US forces with lessons on what not to do, occasionally it provides an excellent example of counter-insurgency skill. - Pic: Soviet troops in northern Afghanistan in 1988. - I came across a few pages in the late Russian journalist Artyom Borovik’s book The Hidden War about a young Soviet officer who gained a reputation as a COIN specialist: His name is known in every kishlak [village] in the province of Kunduz. Zakharov is a legend. […] Zakharov, who turned twenty-eight on May 27, came to Afghanistan a year ago. He spent the first four months exploring the territory and learning the customs and traditions of the local peasants. It’s impossible to fight the dukhi [literally: ghosts] successfully without such knowledge. [page 29-30] Captain Zakharov’s relations with the locals was surprisingly good....

Calista Flockhart Talks Fat
2007-07-22 12:58:00 Calista Flockhart was often accused of being anorexic at the height of her Ally McBeal fame. I personally thought she looked fine, she does have a small frame and it wouldn’t take much for her to look overweight. Anyway now she has said that she has never had an eating disorder, and that her slim figure was due to the stress of filming Ally McBeal. Her new series Brothers and Sisters is great and she looks great too. I wish I was as slender!
Prof. McCarthy Calls 2nd Circuit's Bukhara Decision an "Embarrassment"
2007-07-21 19:42:00 The July issue of InsideCounsel magazine reviews the Second Circuit’s March 28 decision on famous foreign trademarks in ITC Limited vs. Punchgini, Inc., __ F. 3d. __, 2007 WL 914742, No. 05-0933 (2nd Cir.). In that case, New Delhi’s Bukhara Restaurant claimed it should be able to enforce its internationally-famous mark despite its abandonment of the mark here. The defendants were owners of a Manhattan Indian restaurant who called their establishment the “Bukhara Grill” because there was “no restaurant Bukhara in New York, and we just thought we will take the name.” The Bukhara Grill also copied the Bukhara Restaurant’s “logos, decor, staff uniforms, wood-slab menus, and red-checkered customer bibs.” Departing from the Ninth Circuit’s decision validating the famous marks doctrine in Grupo Gigante S.A. de C.V. v. Dallo & Co., 391 F.3d 1088, (9th Cir. 2004), the Second Circuit found that conti...

2007-07-11 23:52:00 Les choses commencent a se stabiliser... Le volume de travail ne fait qu'augmenter et j'ai pas vraiment le temps de faire du tourisme. En consequence, je suis encore perdu dans cette ville ou je n'ai pas encore de reperes. D'ailleurs ca fait plus qu'une semaine que je cherche a me procurer une carte de la ville mais sans succes. Heureusement que Google Earth ( inaccessible au telechargement depuis le soudan) donne une idee assez precise de la ville et de ses grands axes.Je suis vraiment content d'avoir trouver ou loger. L'hotel etait tres cher et cet appart me permet de payer 50% de moins sur les frais logement... J'espere toutefois trouver un coloc rapidement ... histoire de reduire les frais encore plus !"Pourquoi le logement coute aussi cher, dans un pays ou les salaires moyens ne depasse guerre les 400$?"J'ai vraiment beaucoup de mal a repondre a cette question que plusieurs d'entre vous m'ont pose ! mais en gros je dirais que :- Les materiaux de construction au sou...

The Power of Now and Relationship | Eckhart Tolle
2007-07-06 09:16:00 Be present as the watcher of your mind -- of your thoughts and emotions as well as your reactions in various situations. Be at least as interested in your reactions as in the situation or person that causes you to react. Notice also how often your attention is in the past or future. Don't judge or analyze what you observe. Watch the thought, feel the emotion, observe the reaction. Don't make a personal problem out of them. You will then feel something more powerful than any of those things that you observe: the still, observing presence itself behind the content of your mind, the silent watcher.Humanity is under great pressure to evolve because it is our only chance of survival as a race. This will affect every aspect of your life and close relationships in particular. Never before have relationships been as problematic and conflict ridden as they are now. As you may continue to pursue the goal of salvation through a relationship, you will be disillusioned again and again.But if y...

As unbelievable as it may seem, I actually find it soothing to stare at traffic.Road rage also helps vent stress and negative pent up energy. When I am at work, I like spending time by myself. Bollywood classics and ghazals are a great way to calm jumpy nerves."Mridula Chandrashekhar, Model

Judges and lawyers in Pakistan are corrupt to core . We all know how our courts functions. Money moves the court. Once I was sitting in my office a senior had come to take his National ID card from me . He admitted during conversation that they take bribes. If they do not take bribe , they will not able send their children in good schools.

Khareji Gone Wild! Drunk Americans Louts and Frisky British Tomcats Paint K
2007-05-20 06:46:00 May 20, 2007. So apparently foreigners are behaving badly and partying too much. And I’m not talking about the Saudis on the Riviera. Journalist Jean MacKenzie took in a “foreigner only party” and gives details on her entertaining and informative Afghan blog. Here are some amusing excerpts: I spent one unfortunate Thursday evening at l’Atmosphere, where I found a group of twenty-somethings betting, far more loudly than was healthy, on who would be the first to “break the barrier” – which meant, I was told, getting an Afghan into bed. I had to go home and take a shower after that one. Once the restaurants start to close, the crowds move to the private parties that spring up like brush fires in various locales. The goal of party behaviour is simple: get as trashed as possible, as quickly as possible, and try to pair up for the weekend ahead. By three in the morning, it looks like Noah’s ark. As it was, all you needed was a foreign passport. I was soon draw...
