Posted on February 15, 2010 Pakistan is the  most well kept secret golfing destination  as it has some of the most spectacular courses that are open year round. The alluvial soil of the Punjab plains coupled with the Himalayan backdrop provides a natural ecosystem for an interesting golf course layout. Pakistanis are also naturally talented as golfers as they on the average tend to have very good fine motor control and an Asian mindset that marries competitiveness with a balanced inner calm. The fine motor control and good hand eye coordination has been shown by Pakistani athletes in the fields of squash, field hockey, cricket(yikes) and badminton. Golf came to Pakistan generally as a result of foreign presence. My first experience on a golf course was at the Peshawar golf course that was built on a dried lake bed. The first nine holes are one of the greenest in Pakistan. Pakistan Air Force Commanders got the golf bug and provided the support to make golf one of the sports they a...

The place where Osama bin Laden last walked, the hill station of Abbottabad, is also the Gateway to the Silk Route, the ancient trade path to China through the Karakoram Mountains, the deadliest chain of peaks in the world. Due north of Abbottabad runs the deadliest river in the world, running through a cave-pocked canyon: the Indus River. The Indus rises from a holy peak called Kailas, a symmetrical mountain of quartz and ice in the high plateau of western Tibet. It is cited as the source of wisdom, and as it spills from the jaws of its glacier, it is called the Lion River. As it leaves Tibet and the rarefied realm where belief overpowers fact, the Indus slices like the blade of a sickle between the Himalayas and the Karakorams, passing into India in the region known as Little Tibet, Ladakh. There it is joined by tributaries from the top of the world, gathering force as it drops 12,000 feet in 350 miles, crossing the northern provinces of India into Pakistan and joining with the Gilgi...

.bup files in the quarantine folder This question has been  Answered. I have over 15 thousand .bup files in my quarantine folder and can't erase them.  I thought McAfee was supposed to erase these files daily.  Also, when I go to my McAfee settings and click on help nothing happens.  The links are all dead. Correct Answer  by  dougr_t3_support   on Nov 16, 2010 4:25 PM   When a file gets quarantined it gets put into the quarantine folder and a .bup extension. If you have 15,000 .bup files, VirusScan has been doing its job and caught 15,000 things.     You can't go and delete them because Access Protection is doing its job protecting the McAfee folders.     To get rid of them:     Open your McAfee product by clicking the  M icon  on the desktop or near the system clock. Click  Navigation  in the top right corner Under Settings, Click  General Settings and Alerts Expand the  Access Protection  drawer and uncheck  Use Access Protecti...

By:  Brie Cadman     In today's non-stop media environment, there's certainly no dearth of tips, advice, and gimmicks for weight loss. Advertisements tell you how to "Lose thirty pounds in thirty days!" TV infomercials claim that you can "Eat what you want and still lose weight!" And magazine headlines claim it's easy to "Lose one jean size every seven days!" But anyone who's tried to lose five, ten, or one hundred pounds can tell you it's simply not that easy. There's no magic pill, it doesn't (usually) happen super fast, and judging from the myriad plans out there, there is no one diet that works for everyone. Looking past the outrageous claims, there are a few hard truths the diet/food industry isn't going to tell you, but might just help you take a more realistic approach to sustained weight loss. 1. New nutrition news is often old. Recently, I read this headline from a news report about a new study: "Fruit Is Even ...

Noam Chomsky interviewed by Saundra Satterlee The Irish Times , March 21, 2011 Military intervention in Libya is a serious mistake , activist Noam Chomsky tells SAUNDRA SATTERLEE NOAM CHOMSKY wrote about the Spanish Civil War at the age of 10 for his school newspaper, was briefly jailed with Norman Mailer in 1967 for an anti-Vietnam protest at the Pentagon, and last May was detained by the Israelis when he tried to enter the West Bank via Jordan. A world-renowned scholar and retired professor of linguistics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he remains, at age 82, a robust political activist and a stinging critic of US foreign policy. Chomsky warns that direct military intervention in Libya will turn out to be a serious mistake. "When the United States, Britain and France opt for military intervention, we have to bear in mind that these countries are hated in the region for very good reasons. The rich and powerful can say history is bunk but victims don't have that lu...

We know the mantra: Team matters. Is this philosophy exaggerated? Overrated? Cliché? No. Team is the only thing that matters. Whatever you're working on now, the half-life of innovation is so rapid now that your product will soon be out-of-date. Your existence is irrelevant unless you continue rapid innovation. Your ability to keep up is dependent on having a great team of differing skills. Individuals don't build great companies, teams do. The nature of the Internet and global knowledge is such that even if you've stumbled on to a super interesting area of innovation there will be many teams tackling the same problem at exactly the same time.  If you develop something novel that catches a spark you'll have the world gunning for you over night. In this globally connecte...
