The new outpost of this Mumbai favourite café, is just as good, if not better than the original
You can't really have too much of a good thing clearly, not when it comes to comfort food and neighborhood food haunts that become firm favourites. Which is to say, there's always a case for opening another outpost of Indigo Deli, which is just what chef Akerkar has done, this time in Bandra, already Mumbai's food lover haven.
If you've been used to the intimate setting and signature Indigo walls of the deli in Colaba, you'll find the new setting has been given a modern makeover. There are cool circularbooths interspersed with smaller two and four tops, a glass wall separating the patio seating from the inside, and cream walls. Comfortingly familiar though, in all of these new surroundings, is the menu which is every bit as good as the original. There are a few additions to each section, and we recommend trying the Eggs on The Beach – a twist on the classic Eggs Benedict, the salad of asparagus and artichokes and the carbonara pizza. If you have space left over, there are new additions to the dessert menu, and they're just as good as the old faithfuls. Throw in French press coffee, friends/a good book/ a date, and you've got yourself a new favourite hangout.
Indigo Deli Bandra, Fatima Villa, 29th Road, Pali Naka, Bandra, Mumbai. Reservations: +91 22 2643 8100

Poverty and Crime Linked in Columbia
COLUMBIA - Several recent shootings in Columbia have sparked new discussions about crime in the city. Some community leaders said in order to help resolve the problem, residents may need to look at poverty, one of the root causes of crime.
Last week Calvin Marshall spent an evening at McKee Park at a candlelight vigil to remember his grandson, Treveon Marshall, who was shot and killed there.
"I've been seeing a lot of crime, and it's getting a lot worse. I've never seen it like this before. We went from fights in the park to shootings," Marshall said.
He feels crime often affects families and people who already have a tough time getting by. "I think not having jobs, some neighborhoods not having the park to play in, not having mentors, they have to have people that they can look up to and be there for them," he said.
Timothy Rich with the Heart of Missouri United Wy agrees that poverty and crime are strongly related.
"People tend to turn to crime, young people turn to crime when they don't have adult role models that are really working with them. They don't have intact families. They don't have enough to eat, a place to sleep," said Rich.
People who live in poverty also often become victims of crime. A U.S. Department of Housing and Uban Dvelopment report shows low income, single parent homes often become targets for criminals because they seem vulnerable.
Love INC, a service group in Columbia, found when someone in poverty is arrested for a crime, they often find it more difficult to find a job because of their criminal record. That record then makes it harder to climb out of poverty.
The latest U.S. Census numbers show 22.9 percent of Columbia residents live in poverty compared to 14.3 percent of people statewide.
"If we continue to turn a blind eye to this, and if we continue throughout our community to think it's their kids not our kids and be apathetic, the fact of the matter is it's coming to our neighborhood," Rich said.
Marshall thinks providing mentors and work opportunities for teens and young adults who live in poverty could keep them from getting involved in crime, and he hopes it could keep other families from having to experience the loss he's now trying to process.

After dropping a Malvern Summer League contest to a team of Widener University players at the start of last week, the Ursinus College squad that rosters five area alums got back on the winning track last Wednesday evening.
Taking on a team called Liberty that combines athletes from a number of different colleges, the summer Bears built up a buffer of a dozen points in the first half, then repulsed a Liberty rally in the second stanza to emerge victorious, 43-35. The victory raised the record of the Ursinus crew to 3-1 in the Malvern League, which is based at Cabrini College over in Radnor.
The two 2013 Mount St. Joe grads who will be attending Ursinus last encountered Liberty center Mariah Traywick back in March of 2012. That meeting came in the second round of the PIAA Class AAAA state tournament, where the Magic were eliminated by Traywick's Spring-Ford High School squad. The 6'1" Traywick has just completed her freshman year at Shippensburg University.
However, it turned out to be the Liberty team's guards, not their post players, that kept them in the game last Wednesday. Early offense by 2012 Springside Chestnut Hill Academy grad Elana Roadcloud helped Ursinus enjoy a 6-5 edge five minutes into the action, but Liberty later inched ahead, 12-11 and then 14-13.
Incoming freshman guard Hannah Kelly connected on a three-pointer and then converted on a breakaway for Ursinus, and Roadcloud also scored in transition as the Bears went ahead for good. With a little over four minutes left in the first period the gap had reached double figures, at 26-16, and the count was 32-20 at halftime.
The scoring pace slowed during the first eight minutes or so in the second period, and most of the few points that went up on the board belonged to Liberty. They put together a 7-1 spurt to cut the lead to six points, 33-27.
Ursinus finally relocated the basket and quickly climbed back to a double-digit advantage as a trey by Kelly was followed by a shorter jumper by Ali Abbonizio, a former Girls Inter-Ac League player who recently graduated from the Academy of Notre Dame.
This proved to be the beginning of a decisive run for Ursinus, who was sitting atop a 43-37 perch with just over seven minutes remaining. Liberty made a spirited late run, but was still eight points behind the Bears at the final horn.
Kelly had 10 points and Roadcloud finished with eight for Ursinus, which also received four points from 2013 Mount St. Joe grad Adrienne Cellucci.

Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) was hospitalized Tuesday morning after falling at his McLean, Va., home, a spokesman told Politico.
Fairfax County Fire officials confirmed that a person was transported from Byrd's home to a hospital, but would not release info on the patient. A neighbor told Politico that several ambulances, fire trucks and security personnel could be seen outside Byrd's home at about 9 a.m.
Byrd's spokesman told the Associated Press that the senator stood up too fast and fell, and that his caregiver called an ambulance "out of an abundance of caution."
U.S. & World
The senator will stay in the hospital for a few days, according to his senior aides. He suffered no broken bones or bruises, but doctors found an elevated white blood cell count. Doctors advised that Byrd receive antibiotic treatment and stay in the hospital for observation to prevent infection.
Byrd is in good spirits, though he was disappointed that he missed the Senate photo Tuesday afternoon, his aides said.
Byrd, the longest-serving senator in U.S. history, is 91 years old, and his health has been deteriorating. He has made few appearances on Capitol Hill this year, but was able to give a speech on the Senate floor following the death of Sen. Ted Kennedy, who he called his "dear, dear friend."
"I had hoped and prayed that this day would never come," Byrd said after Kennedy's passing. "My heart and soul weeps at the lost of my best friend in the Senate, my beloved friend, Ted Kennedy."

I made this for our 2 year old grandson. I added an applique sun and a couple of clouds which I think made it a little cuter. I will say I think it's more of an intermediate pattern - especially when trying to match up-line up the wheels. All and all, very cute pattern! PS - I'd be happy to send a picture of my quilt showing the sun and clouds if you like. :)

Beverly Hills: Where The Tourists Empty Their Pockets
July 27, 2008
As a Los Angeles resident for over 13 years now, I have been accustomed to the two alternate worlds of LA: Beverly Hills, and everywhere else. Recently I made a few trips of longer duration to this hub of stars, and while browsing the shops, I noticed two things. First, the prices, and what they were selling. When it comes to Beverly Hills, the myth is definitely true — everything is overpriced. But, being the teen I am, shopping is not exactly my expertise, so I have never before hit up any of the top notch appointment-only stores in the Hills. But when I first entered these stores and took a look at the price tags, I was blown away. As a southern Californian traveler, I have been accustomed some pretty outrageous stuff around here, but nothing like what was going on over in the BH. Highlights of the store that I browsed while I was wandering included $4,000 Italian motorbike jackets, $40,000 dresses, and my favorite — a $450 cotton undershirt. Now I do understand that this clothing they are selling is the real deal, high quality fabrics, comfortable feel, ect. — but the 450 buck undershirt really struck me as something I may have 10 of in my dresser that was bought for under 5 dollars or less at a popular Polo in a Santa Monica shopping mall. So I made two conclusions: people who buy this stuff are either the filthy rich Los Angeles .com billionaires who own the multiple Ferraris and Gallardos outside, or regular income people who just want to look filthy rich. The answer…was neither.
The second thing I noticed was who was shopping at these stores. Not only did I not see one resident of Southern California in the stores besides the employees, but everyone in the store wasn't even from the West — mostly not even America. And at that moment the awful truth struck me — these people (who were actually buying this stuff relentlessly) had fallen under the misconception that makes places like Vegas so famous. If you are looking at a stereotype movie shown about Los Angeles, it is almost guaranteed to show the juiciest parts of LA — the expensive shops that the not even the actors in real life would shop at. My point? To foreigners, Los Angeles is Beverly Hills, and it would be like going to Vegas and not visiting a casino to not feed off of the Hills. In fact, for the average tourist I saw there (a Japanese couple and their two sons), it would be virtually impossible to see the real essence of the great city of Los Angeles without a local to show you away from the luring lies of Beverly Hills, and into the real Los Angeles — the city. For example, when I visit South America in a few weeks, (as an American) I will most certainly be shown into the finest of hotels and dining, probably missing what is really what the whole city is about — digging deep into the rich history and life of the places I will be traveling to. This is the exact same feeling that couple from Japan probably was lured into when traveling to Los Angeles.
I am not claiming that Beverly Hills is bad for the city, it is an important asset of Los Angeles's culture. But I encourage all travelers who may be reading this to find someone local and stay away from the tour busses that only shuttle to the glamorous stops, but to really go into Los Angeles and learn — not necessarily the history of the city, but the culture and the town hubs that really show what LA is all about to me — the greatest city ever.
