Andrew Breitbart, a right-wing conservative commentator, released a video with excerpts of a speech by Sherrod at an NAACP fundraiser. He accused Sherrod, an African-American, of prejudice towards whites and demanded her resignation. Accepting the video posted on a conservative website as absolute truth and without researching the original speech, the racist-phobic politicians, including President Barack Obama, jumped to the bait set by the conservatives, demanding her resignation.
On behalf of the Obama administration, USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack gladly accepted her resignation. In her defense, Sherrod provided Vilsack with the original copy of her speech. After viewing the tape, the White House realized it was snookered by the conservative media. Vilsack apologized and offered her a new position with the agency. Obama, who had to know what was going on, also was forced to apologize. I wonder what that will do for his job approval rating.
Sherrod's roots are planted deep in Georgia. Her father was shot and killed over the ownership of a few cows by a white Georgia farmer when she was only 17 years old. There were never any charges filed and the crime went unpunished. The incident changed her life; she became an activist for change. She was one of the first black students enrolled in a primarily white local high school. After receiving her master's degree, she worked for the Department of Agriculture in Georgia because she wanted to help "minority farmers keep their land."
Her story reminded me of a similar situation one of my best friends experienced.
I was driving from New York City to Miami Beach, Fla. The race track in New York and Garden State Park race track in New Jersey were closing down for the winter. Hialeah, just north of Miami, was the home for many New York bookies, betters and the best race horses on the East Coast.
Somewhere in southern Georgia, I passed a sign pointing to the Suwannee River. George Gershwin's song "Swanee" has a different spelling; however, it's the same river. Painting himself in blackface, Al Jolson made the song famous in minstrel shows on the New York City stage and on the big screen. Now that's real racial profiling and racism.
Just past the sign there was a black man hitchhiking in the damp, cold, drizzling rain. He had two pieces of luggage and a duffle bag. It looked like he was freezing to death so I offered him a ride. He introduced himself as Tom and we were on our way. During the following week I gained a real insight and firsthand experience about racism and segregation in the South.
An hour into the trip, we stopped at a restaurant. Tom was starved and needed to use the facilities. Ten minutes later he came out to the car and said, "They won't serve me and asked me to leave because it's a white restaurant. But there is a nigger restaurant about a mile down the road."
I read about segregation but never saw it firsthand. I grew up with Puerto Ricans, blacks, Chinese and some Hispanics. Except for a few switchblade knives, we all got along fine.
Tom appreciated the ride. He just came home from the Korean War and was honorably discharged with a couple of medals for his memory book. He was on his way home to Fort Myers, Fla. and couldn't wait to see his family. Fort Myers was out of my way but I told him I would take him home if I had a place to stay overnight.
Although Tom lived in a virtual slum, his home was clean. Everyone seemed to accept me, so much so that I stayed for a week. If the whites would accept the blacks the same way Tom's family and neighbors treated me, there would be no more segregation.
His family was overjoyed to see him but he kept asking about his father. I sat on the porch as he was told his dad was shot and killed by a white man over a $20 bill laying on the main street in town. No charges were filed.
Like Sherrod, instead of revenge, Tom pursued an education, returned to Fort Myers, became an a activist and spent his life striving for social tolerance, political change and racial justice. He was instrumental in building affordable housing and developing safe and clean neighborhoods in the black community.
Tom helped ease the existing racial phobia, collective intolerance and individual ignorance so prevalent in the South. And like Sherrod, he honored the death of his father with pride. He did something in life his father would have been proud of: He learned his lesson of humanity. He learned his lessons from social injustice.

My ten favorite Kishore Kumar songs
31 comments:
Kishore's top 10! Wow every Indian must have a different list of Kishore's top 10 and this sort of thing could start a war here. :-) but ur list is good too. ;-)
- October 3, 2009 at 7:01 AM
- memsaab said...
I saw Charulata years ago, much before I even knew who Kishore was----didn't realize he had sung in that!
How could you leave out his verbal acrobatics :( His song "Gana Na Aaya" from Miss Mary is one of my all-time favorites and so hilarious. Also I'd find it hard to leave out "Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhagi Si" from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, it's so sensuous I think.
Lovely list though, and a daunting task for sure!
- October 3, 2009 at 7:08 AM
- Ruchi said...
Oooh lovely songs!! How do you manage to remember them together to make up such a list? Whenever I start to think of different songs/movies I have liked and would like to listen on YouTube my mind just goes blank!
- October 3, 2009 at 3:12 PM
- Bollyviewer said...
Anonymous, I have the feeling that everybody else's Kishore top 10 would include most of his 70s songs that are also lovely, but not [in my opinion] nearly as good as his earlier work.
memsaab, Kishore's verbal acrobatics have been saved for another list - the kind that would cheer me up on a dull day. Guess Ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si should have been on this list, but I had earlier ruled out Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi as too full of his verbal acrobatics, and then forgot about Ek ladki. And Gaana na aaya, though great fun, isnt the only one of his wacky, fun numbers - I have a ton of those, and each is a gem! He had a genius for wackadoo.
Ruchi, it takes determination, perseverance and hard work, usually - though in my case, I must admit to natural talent! ;-)

- Nikolai Chowdhury said...
Very nice selection! I have featured your article on the Official Salil Chowdhury Facebook Page; http://www.facebook.com/salilda thanks!!
- October 3, 2009 at 4:51 PM
- Shalini Razdan said...
Man, I've no idea how you all come up with these great lists so easily. I like the parameters of your list, bollyviewer and totally agree that Kishore sounded his best in the 50s & 60s.
One of my favorite Kishore duets is "kashti ka khamosh safar hai" from Girlfriend. I would give anything to see this movie - Kishore with Waheeda - what a combo!
- October 3, 2009 at 6:30 PM
- Rum said...
This such a nice list, and the Charulata song i loved he sounds soo silky and lovely on that, though i do prefer the out n out crazy songs he did in the 70's, his early beginnings were just as magical!
- October 4, 2009 at 1:04 AM
- dustedoff said...
Lovely songs, bollyviewer - and Aa chal ke tujhe is one of my favourites too! Another of my Kishore favourites from the B/W era, and picturised on Kishore, is Agar sun le toh ek naghma, from Ek Raaz. I haven't seen the film, but I love that song.
- October 4, 2009 at 2:07 AM
- Bollyviewer said...
Nikolai, thanks! I love Salil Chowdhury's music. Its wonderful how you hear some new effects in the score every time you listen to it.
Shalini, coming from you, thats high praise indeed! Thanks so much.
I have never come across Kashti ka khamosh safar, before. Trust you to come up with such an unknown gem! And it has Waheeda with him - this I'd love to see too. Wonder if its a full on comedy and whether she does wackadoo too, or just plays it straight to his zaniness.
Rum, he didnt do as many and as "crazy" songs in the 70s as he did in the 50s and 60s, all of which are priceless. I guess he was hampered by singing for the heroes (as opposed to singing for himself) in the 70s - most of whom happened to be angry and macho and not prone to be wacky.
dustedoff, thanks for inspiring this list! I'd not have thought of it, if it hadnt been for your SD Burman list. I love Agar sun le to ek nagma, too, just didnt remember it in time for the list!
- October 5, 2009 at 2:39 AM
- Darshit said...
Aah, Fantastic.Loved that all of them are B/w. the rather colorless songs holds such a charm in them that makes me drool over them. The 'chandni' Never looked so beautiful in color movies.
Kishore da 's most songs I like are from the era you've mentioned. Also, later whatever he sang for Dev saab and Kaka, were 'mast'. But the Bachchan songs were earworm for me. :|
- October 5, 2009 at 1:35 PM
- Richard S. said...
"Every Indian must have a list of Kishore top 10"... And strangely enough, some other people might as well. ;)
This is a good list, and I would agree with several of the choices. And then, I might have my own...
A few of my own favorite Kishore Kumar black and white songs come from two films he made with Vyjayanthimala in the mid '50s, Aasha and New Delhi. But I'm hoping some of those will be on the acrobatics list...
- October 5, 2009 at 9:04 PM
- bollywooddeewana said...
Don't know much about him from the B& w era but if i had to choose one my faves from him in the b&w era it would be 'Haal Kaisa Hai Janab Ka' from Chalti ka naam gaadi
- October 6, 2009 at 1:27 PM
- bollywoodfoodclub said...
Lovely list. I look forward to listening to your thoughtful choices. All the best!
- October 6, 2009 at 10:23 PM
- Bollyviewer said...
Darshit, you are so right - chandni was never so lovely or so romantic in colored films! lol at Kishore's Bachchan songs being "ear worms". I think Kishore did best in romantic and wacky numbers, and for Bachchan, he did very few of either. Plus, I think his voice had changed and lost a lot of its earlier sweetness by the mid 70s - when AB ruled. However, I do like the two AB songs from Mili - Badi sooni sooni hai and Aaye tum yaad mujhe - while I HATE Amar Prem songs.
Richard, Eena meena deeka (from Asha) has to be the best of Kishore's wacky numbers and will definitely figure in his verbal acrobatics list (if I can ever make a list with just 10 of them!).
bollywooddeewana, the songs from Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi are ALL superb and such fun. My personal favorites there are Ek ladki bheegi bhaagi si and Hum the woh thi aur sama rangeen - Kishore sounds like he is having a lot fun singing them!
Sita ji, hope you enjoy them!
- October 7, 2009 at 1:35 PM
- shell said...
As always, I am educated everytime I visit! I can't imagine how hard it would be to pick a top 10 from any of the great playback artists! Even though I'm not familiar with Bollywood classics, I have heard some of Kishore's stuff. Going against popular opinion, I absolutely love Om Shanti Om from Karz (as I posted here: http://shellsbollyworld.blogspot.com/2009/08/hey-did-you-know-its-thursday.html
I can't wait to go through and listen to all of your favs!
- October 8, 2009 at 9:21 AM
- Nivedita said...
One of my all-time favorites is Shaadi ... Kismat ki baat hai from Ladki (1953).
- October 9, 2009 at 9:23 PM
- Bollyviewer said...
shell, 80s Hindi disco is a lot of fun! I love Om shanti om, too, as well as this one (Kya naam hai tera - more Kishore on Rishi). Hmm... I should probably compile a list of good sparkly suit disco songs! ;-)
Nivedita, one more wacky number added to the verbal acrobatics list! Shaadiii... kismat ki baat hai is such a fun song. At this rate, I wont ever be able to compile a list of 10 favorite Kishore wacky numbers!
- October 9, 2009 at 10:15 PM
A great list!
Thanks for not including any of his yodelling songs! ;-) The list is really full of sublime songs. They also remind me of Chayya Geet on radio and some of Chayya Geet on TV as well. Good to know that you were also an avid listener of Chayya Geet on VB.
I was jsut thinking what would people think of "chotta sa ghar hoga badalon ki chanw mein" in N & Middle Europe or for that matter in Canada, where clouds are synonymous with bad weather and leading to bad luck!
A brave list and one with which I'm totally satisfied/content. :-)
- October 12, 2009 at 3:23 AM
- Bollyviewer said...
harvey, thanks! You're not a fan of his yodelling? He does do some in Thandi hawa, too. I kind of like it.
And thats a great point about how badalon ki chhaaon mein would be regarded in colder climes. My decided preference for cloudy days in summer prompted a Canadian colleague to enquire if I had vampire blood in me! So, ya, that song wouldnt be apreciated in colder countries. :-)
- October 18, 2009 at 12:40 PM
"vampire blood"
I have to listen to similiar words quite often as well! I'm always a damp spirit for the locals here, cause I love the cool weather and rejoice when it rains, while they are all murmuring about the shit weather!
- October 24, 2009 at 3:34 PM
- Bollyviewer said...
harvey, you and I obviously share the same blood! :-D Cant believe people talk about "fine" weather when the sun is shining bright enough to blind you AND scorch you - if you are brave enough to go out in it.
- October 24, 2009 at 5:34 PM
At last a weather soul mate!
just imagine, people lie around in scorching sun naked or half-naked (nothing against the nudity), while I just jump from one shade to the other!
Strange people!
- October 25, 2009 at 12:35 PM
- Bollyviewer said...
We are definitely siblings separated at birth! Even I keep a sharp look out for shade whenever I am out doors. :-D
- October 26, 2009 at 11:39 AM
Don't tell me, our mom is Nirupa Roy!
- October 26, 2009 at 12:19 PM
- Bollyviewer said...
Of course! And we were separated at the Kumbh mela. :-)
- October 26, 2009 at 3:21 PM
I always knew that I didn't belong to my family, they in fact told me all the time, that they found me under a bridge, but I didn't want to believe!
- October 27, 2009 at 10:01 AM
- Bollyviewer said...
Now you know! Sadly, no wealthy families seem to be around to claim us. :-(
- November 1, 2009 at 11:00 PM
- Haddock said...
Love ALL his songs.
- November 22, 2009 at 10:54 AM
- Bollyviewer said...
Even the bad ones from the 80s?
- November 22, 2009 at 11:05 PM
i loved the songs here. please repair the songs here which we cant here
- June 19, 2012 at 11:15 AM

Malaysia: defending native customary rights
In 1998, about 10,000 indigenous people were evicted from their original homeland to a resettlement site in the Asap River (Sungai Asap). The resettlement process has been fraught with problems that have yet to be resolved. However, five longhouse communities representing some 100 families refused to move, and seven of their leaders, filed a representative action against the State Government of Sarawak in 2000 through Friends of the Earth Malaysia/SAM's lawyers.
"What's the use of going to Asap? The land is 3 acres, the house is a mad deal, so small at RM52,000. Electricity and water have to be paid for. What's the use? Here, it is blissful."
Longhouse chief for Uma Balui Lebue, Tuai Rumah Bato Bagi
The preparation for this case took many years and involved producing land use and boundary maps, by documenting oral histories; scouring through archives for old documents showing settlement; gathering evidence about ancient gravesites, old trees, artifacts, legal documents, and clothes; recording old customs; and talking to experts.
Friends of the Malaysia have been at the forefront of this struggle, helping to organise and mobilise the communities, and supporting their legal case. This was first heard in the High Court in Kuching 2008, where the Plaintiffs lost purely on technical grounds. They appealed to the Court of Appeal and lost once again in 2010. But in March 2011 they were granted right to appeal to the Federal Court. The communities were jubilant, and the struggle continues.
"We do not work in isolation. We need to showcase our struggles, achievements and failures to the outside world. We need solidarity, to be connected with others with similar problems. We have been given this opportunity through FoEI. Without the support of the FoEI family, much of this struggle would be lost in translation."
Jok Jau Evong, SAM Sarawak Coordinator

5 Unexpected Downsides of High Intelligence
You know that phrase, "Ignorance is bliss"? There's a reason it's stuck around all these years. Because having the upper hand in intelligence might give you an advantage in some areas, like crossword puzzle solving and quantum physics-ing, but it also might just screw up your life forever.
For instance, if you're smart ...
Recently, scientists discovered a quirky side effect to having a high IQ: You tend to stay up until later hours and get up later in the morning. That's right -- the more intelligent are also much more likely to be night owls. Which isn't such a surprise when you consider that intelligent people are infamous for burning the midnight oil to cram for tests, write papers, touch up those earnings reports, etc.
And spending reports.
It appears to just be evolution -- the more intelligent members of a species are, in general, the first to change habits (their big brains are wired to seek out novelty). Since humans have been day-dwellers during most of their existence, it's primarily the smarties who prefer to habitually stay up until the wee hours and to do the types of tasks that are easier to accomplish when you don't have the day-dwellers hanging around and distracting you. Stuff that requires concentration, in other words.
So let the early birds keep their measly worms. The nights owls get to feast on the juicy field mice of accomplishment!
So What's the Problem?
Well, being a night owl does have some negative side effects. And by "some" we mean, "You're pretty much screwed."
And we mean REALLY screwed.
For starters, studies have found that "eveningness" is associated with a high degree of emotional instability. That means you tend to be less agreeable and conscientious than the average Joe. Oh, and you don't just make others' lives miserable. Thanks to your late-night habits, likely brought on by high intelligence, you're also three times more likely to suffer symptoms of depression.
And the fun doesn't end there, geniuses! Turns out that, short of becoming a competitive asbestos eater, staying up late at night is about the worst thing you could do for your physical health. According to a number of studies, night owls are at higher risk for heart disease and suffer more arterial stiffness than those who go to bed early.
It's important to note, however, that not all night owls are geniuses.
The direct cause might have less to do with the fact that you stay up than with some of the other things you're doing while your eyes get all nice and bloodshot. You see, people who tend to stay up late also tend to do other unhealthy things at night, such as overeating. Then, once they do eventually hit the hay, they experience more sleep interruptions when those pesky morning larks get up and start noisying about.
All this adds up to some nasty artery stress and whacked-out circadian rhythms, a nice recipe for a massive coronary. So be sure to thank those dumbass early risers and your high intelligence for your inevitable heart attack.
Causes of death: Morning-type wife and a 155 IQ.
Another unfortunate stereotype of smart people is that they're socially awkward nerds who are doomed to lives of celibacy until they get out of high school hell. Unfortunately, that one turns out to be totally true.
But it's not all bad news. There's evidence that the highly educated get more enjoyment out of sex than the dumb jocks and that really, all the lovin' you need to be happy comes from having sex with just one partner per year. So even the nerdlingers among us can find one person to get along with, then have highly enjoyable loser-geek sex, eventually leading to populating the planet with loser-geek children, right?
"Timmy! You'd better not be drawing dicks on my math!"
So What's the Problem?
Smart boy, please. Those genes you're carrying aren't going any-goddamn-where. Unbeknownst to the smarties, their education levels and IQ are conspiring to keep them childless and perhaps leading them to adopt 30 cats when they're in their late 70s.
It all starts with the smart ladies. A 2008 national census reported that women who had dropped out of high school had the most children on average. And the more education women achieved, the fewer children they were likely to have, with the fewest children being born to women who had finished graduate school.
The explanation, according to the Census Bureau, is simple: Women wanted to finish school before they were saddled with nine months of fetus-carrying. Then, for smart people of both sexes, there's the career to think about, and promotions, and who has time for a needy mini-human during all that? And of course, IQ plays a direct role here, since it has also been found that women with lower IQs are less likely to know how to use birth control properly, leading to more unplanned pregnancies.
"OK, but I'll need a glass of water. I can't swallow them dry."
But that's just the ladies. The smart fellas must be picking up the slack somehow, right? Maybe by getting a little dumb-girl nookie on the side? Not so. Research shows that countries with high national IQs tend to have lower childbirth rates in general compared with countries that can't collectively tie their shoelaces together. That's right -- entire nations are missing the evolutionary point of fucking as their IQs rise.
The problem with being the smartest guy in the room is that you usually know you're the smartest guy in the room. For some people, that's not a big deal. They can relate to others just fine and know how to navigate around everyone else's deficiencies without being complete pricks. Others, however, know they have an intellectual edge and can't help but abuse it.
So What's the Problem?
In addition to giving you an advantage in brainpower, IQ apparently also bestows the gift of deception.
"Me? No, it was already like this when I got here."
After all, in order to lie and get away with it, you also have to keep the truth in mind and manipulate it, and you might even have to cover up your lies upon further questioning. All of this involves integrating several brain processes in much the same way that you would solve a complex calculus problem. This means that the age at which you start lying, and the effectiveness with which you do it throughout your life, are controlled by how smart you are.
In one study, scientists put people in brain-imaging machines and found that the regions of the brain that light up when a person metaphorically sets his pants on fire are the same that control "executive functioning." These are high-order thinking and reasoning abilities that include working memory, which, you guessed it, is the single biggest component of your IQ.
Suuuuure, Mr. Hawking. The universe is expanding and boundless. We're onto your game!
Another study simply tracked the tendency of children to lie as they got older (that is, as that aforementioned part of their brains developed). The researchers simply placed young kids in a room with a toy Barney under a cloth and told the kids not to peek at the toy when the researchers left the room.
They later conducted the same test, replacing the toy with a live cobra.
Of course, 9 out of 10 kids totally peeked, but the percentage of kids who lied about whether they peeked grew as the kids got older. At age 2, 25 percent of the kids lied about peeking; at age 3, half lied; and by age 4, 90 percent of the kids who peeked at the purple dinosaur refused to admit their guilt. That would also seem to imply that the 25 percent of kids who fibbed at age 2 possessed higher cognitive abilities than their peers.
In other words, if you want to know whether your kid is gifted, simply track the specific age at which he starts trying to bullshit you. Speaking of which ...

#119 Fernbrook Natural Area hosts winter landscapes and much more
January 15, 2009
Fernbrook Natural Area in northern Albemarle County near Stony Brook is host of images of death, decay, and resurrection in the flora and fauna of the Piedmont woods.
The January cold spell has arrived – always a harsh reminder, especially here in Virginia – of the intractability of winter. Being from New England, it feels welcome, like a patch of remnant habitat – familiar and necessary for my survival. The bite of cold when I first leave the house for my walk, the peeling back of layers as heat of my body meets morning chill. The knowledge of light that has come with experiencing over half a decade of Januarys, as the skies are brighter, the days are longer, but still, somehow, muted by the cold. My need to be outside is greater at this time of year than others –against the inertia that a warm house foster, an urgency tugs at me as the voices of the winter landscape are calling.
I went to feed this winter hunger last weekend at Fernbook Natural Area, the 63-acre preserve owned by The Nature Conservancy in northern Albemarle County near Stony Point. This time of year, it is a palette of earth tones, rich with every shade of brown, red, yellow, orange, and black. Green pokes up here and there: running cedar emerging from the layer of leaves, the rhododendron on the northern slopes; and the ever-reliable, Christmas fern, though sagging from the weight of wingter, it is still standing, ready to be counted. The trail slopes down through a tall stand of red oak, hickory and yellow poplar towards a small stream that drains the ridge. Only the beech trees and few oaks still hold their leaves, browned now, quaking in the slight wind. The late afternoon light is mediated by clouds, occasional patches of blue lingering before a darkening sky.
This winter in particular, I am attuned to disintegration and death, and a forest like the one at Fernbrook is as good a place as any to find it. Decay is everywhere: dense downed logs along the trail are scuffed by travelers' boots into light tufts. The bark of Virginia pine still standing, is pocked by holes that spiral round the trunk marking the drill of the downy woodpecker. A cavity higher up could be home to a pileated. These are some of the larger agents of change in the forest, foraging for a meal beneath the bark of host trees giving way slowly to insects.
Still on the branches of beech trees, are black clumps of sooty mold. A hunk the size of my fist has dropped to the ground at the base of a beech, and I pick it up – light as a sponge, this is final stage for the mold that is unique to the beech tree. Scorias spongiosa, as a species of sooty mold that grows below colonies of beech woolly aphids, whose honeydew – or excrement – provides nourishment through its life stages. In January, these aphids are long gone, but when I pry the mold apart, I find shiny black ants feasting on the spores.
Cleared in colonial days for timber, Fernbrook was abandoned sometime after the Civil War. But here and there, the pencil-sharp snags of Virginia cedar point skyward, and from time to time, the slope is anchored by a mound of rocks that marked perhaps the corner of an old field. The small stream has the characteristic steep banks of our Piedmont streams that have been cut vertically during the years of high erosion when no protective measures stemmed the flow of topsoil from newly logged acres.
Just as surely as I am looking at death and decay, I am also witness to rebirth, in everything from the defiant fist-like buds of the dogwoods in understudy, to the delicate, cigar-shaped twist of the beech bud. Each soggy, rotten log hosts its own ecosystem of fungi, bacteria, and insects, thriving in dark spaces, drunk on the nutrients they release back to the cycle of life.
Through the bare trees I can see upward to the sky, another gift of winter and my spirit, likewise, has been lifted by this time in the woods.

Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads $39.95
Increase your braking power.
So, you're inevitably wondering what's new in the world of Zipp? Simply put, everything. From its wheels to its brake pads, 2013 sees a complete reinvent across the board. And for the Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads, Zipp has improved nearly every aspect over its prior iterations.
Now, when we think of brake pads, we're forced to examine their explicit function -- braking. And, as we all know, the functionality of braking is measured by braking power -- something that has long plagued carbon braking surfaces, both tubular and clincher. Challenging this preconception, Zipp increased the surface area of the new Tangente pads, accordingly increasing their braking power by around 10%. Running a close second to braking power is that of pad durability, and this where Zipp achieved the largest headway.
The new Tangente pads feature a 1mm reduction in their width from the holder. This increases clearance for larger tires, wider rims, and the ever-growing integrated brake systems. Additionally, while the width is decreased, the pads' radial height is increased. This plays into the larger surface area that we mentioned, accordingly increasing the pad life of the Tangente. And just importantly, this new dimensional design spreads out heat over a larger area of the braking surface and rim. So, basic logic tells us that a lower rim temperature will increase the braking effectiveness and durability of the pads.
You'll also find that these Tangente pads feature a new groove design. Why? Well, Zipp says that the grooves improve rim temperatures and also braking power in wet conditions. Essentially, the grooves sweep water off of the rim, while also channeling air over it. So, you can expect a drier and cooler braking surface in nearly any conceivable condition.
The Zipp Tangente Platinum Pro Evo Brake Pads are available in the color Grey and in both Campagnolo and Shimano/SRAM brake pad holder compatibilities. Please note that each set comes with two pads, enough to replace one brake. These pads have not been approved for aluminum braking surfaces.

Shrubs like hydrangeas flower from mid to late summer on the previous year's growth. Mophead and lacecap hydrangeas will bloom satisfactorily with little attention, but regular pruning encourages new, vigorous growth that can produce a better display. Likewise, other species, including the climbing hydrangea, will benefit from a trim. Such plants fall into RHS Plant Selector pruning group 4.
HydrangeasHydrangea scaleHydrangea collection at Holehird GardensShrubsShrubs and trees: light pruningShrubs: pruning early floweringShrubs: pruning summer-floweringShrubs: pruning evergreensShrubs: renovationTrees and shrubs: planting
The pruning methods explained below are for individual types and species of hydrangea.
The most commonly grown hydrangeas in gardens are lacecaps and mopheads – mopheads are identified by their full, roundish heads of large petals; lacecaps have tiny flowers in the centre of the bloom and an outer border of large petals.
Most pruning is carried out in late winter or early spring. However, the climbing hydrangea is pruned after flowering in summer.

A 24-year-old student at West Chester University was arrested in Chester County after the District Attorney's office says he repeatedly abused his wife and eventually attempted to deport her.
Lirim Rufati is accused of physically and sexually assaulting his wife on a regular basis. Investigators say he repeatedly struck her and raped her.
After a neighbor reported the abuse, investigators say she was taken to a safe location by West Goshen Police officers. However, Rufati allegedly tracked her down and drove her to JFK International Airport in New York, where he attempted to force her onto a plane back to Macedonia, where the two met in an arranged marriage.
A police officer intervened at a check-in area at the airport, and Rufati was taken into custody.
According to the district attorney, Rufati faces aggravated assault, kidnapping and other charges.
"This case demonstrated tremendous communication and cooperation between the Domestic Violence Center of Chester County, police in New York and the West Goshen Police Department," West Goshen Police Chief Joseph Gleason said in a statement.
In an unrelated case, the district attorney's office also announced Monday the arrest of a Delaware County police officer accused of slapping his wife in the face and then attempting to strangle her.
The district attorney's office says Ernest Manerchia, who lives in West Chester, is a member of the Chester Police Department's SWAT team.
Manerchia was arrested by the Pennsylvania State Police and faces aggravated assault, simple assault and other related charges.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

Breast Cancer Facts
After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. About every three minutes, a woman somewhere in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer.
In 2011, an estimated 230,480 new cases will be diagnosed in American women. About 2,140 cases will be detected in men. Breast cancer is second leading cause of cancer death in women; lung cancer is number one. In 2011, approximately 39,520 women and 450 men will die of the disease.
An individual woman's odds of developing breast cancer depends on her age, as well as other specific risk factors, such as ethnicity, genetics and hormonal factors, including the age of menstruation and menopause. Statistics show that an American woman living to the age of 85 has a one in eight chance of developing breast cancer sometime in her life. The risk is not evenly spread over a women's lifetime. For example, a 25-year-old woman has a lifetime risk of one in eight, but her current risk is only one in 19,608.
Here's how a woman's chance of developing breast cancer changes with age:
|By age 40
|1 in 217
|By age 50
|1 in 53
|By age 60
|1 in 22
|By age 70
|1 in 13
|By age 80
|1 in 9
More than three in four cases of breast cancer occur in women older than 50.
Annual screening mammography allows breast cancer to be detected at an earlier stage when it is smaller. Most experts still agree that women 50 years and older should continue to have annual mammograms. The American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute continue to recommend screening beginning at age 40.

Friday, April 25, 2014
By Eric Russell and David Hench
Staff Writers
The number of deaths from heroin overdoses in Maine quadrupled from 2011 to 2012, according to statistics released Wednesday by the state's attorney general and the chief medical examiner.
Officials attributed the rise in part to regulations that restrict prescriptions for oxycodone and drive addicts to the streets to get drugs.
Drug-related deaths in 2012 totaled 163. That was a slight increase over 2011, but the deaths linked to heroin stand out for their sudden rise.
After peaking at 43 deaths in 2005, the number fell over the next six years, bottoming out at seven in 2011. In 2012, the number jumped to 28, the most since 2007.
"Each of these deaths represents a waste of a life, a preventable tragedy," Attorney General Janet Mills said in a prepared statement. "The destruction of lives by drugs deserves our intensive intervention and society's full attention."
Drug treatment professionals were not surprised by the jump in heroin overdose deaths, said Ronni Katz, coordinator of the substance abuse prevention program for Portland's Department of Health and Human Services.
"The trends that we've been seeing are the predictors: the economy; it's harder to get a lot of prescription drugs now; heroin is cheaper; and people are losing their (health care) coverage," said Katz, who also oversees Portland's Overdose Prevention Project. The project was created during a surge in overdose deaths in 2002.
The heroin problem could get worse before it gets better, she said.
"What I was hearing (Wednesday) – and it's only the middle of January – from the treatment providers is that people are detoxing from methadone and suboxone because they've been dropped from MaineCare," Katz said. "We are expecting a lot of those people to turn to what they can get in the street, now that they've lost their coverage."
About 10,500 childless adults who earn as much as 100 percent of the federal poverty level lost MaineCare coverage at the end of 2013 because the state did not expand Medicaid.
John Martins, spokesman for Maine's Department of Health and Human Services, said in an email, "We continue to work to provide services across the spectrum of prevention, intervention and treatment of substance use and abuse in order to address the devastating and preventable loss of life that comes with any overdose."
The department did not respond to an emailed question Wednesday about people losing coverage for addiction treatment because they became ineligible for MaineCare. A spokesman for Gov. Paul LePage did not respond to an inquiry late Wednesday afternoon.
Mills said the numbers make the case for expanding MaineCare funding.
"The Affordable Care Act now covers substance abuse disorders and treatment, with federal subsidies for those who cannot afford their insurance premiums," she said. "But cuts in MaineCare will leave more of the very poor without coverage for these treatable disorders."
For instance, funding for substance abuse treatment under MaineCare was cut from $82 to $62 per patient per week in 2012. That has left less money for services such as counseling.
Without treatment, addicts are at risk of overdosing, Katz said.
"Addiction is an equal-opportunity destroyer, and the people they're seeing overdosing and using are not just people on public funds," Katz said. "There's people from every level of society who deal with addiction."
The state tracks all deaths in which one or more drugs are indicated as a cause of death or a significant factor. Most of the deaths are accidental overdoses.
The total number of drug-related deaths in Maine has been relatively steady since 2002, ranging from 153 to 179 a year. But Mills pointed out that six of the 25 homicides in 2012 were related to illegal drugs.

FUTURE ARMADA Deluxe Starship Designs MIDGART VARIANTS
The Midgard Variants are a trio of new ships produced by Midgard Shipyards. These progress-level seven designs are based on alien specifications recently discovered in the ancient ruins of a sunken city. While fully capable of operation in deep space, these vessels also function at full capacity while submerged. Rejected by the ConFed military these unique, cutting-edge vessels are now for hire to the highest bidder.
Atlantis is a light carrier and the flagship of the Midgard line. It carries 20 fighters and a crew of 160. Also presented in this installment are Partisan (an extended version of the Atlantis, carrying 36 fighters and a larger crew compliment) and Corvus. Built for patrol and escort duties, this frigate does not carry any fighters but is still heavily armed and a force to be reckoned with.
The .zip file contains the following:
Sample documents and bonus art are available at 0-hr.com.
Please note that, unlike most issues of Future Armada, this installment does NOT contain giant composite images designed for an oversized printer. The large image files required for a ship of this size made the inclusion of such bonus maps impractical.
Like all of the Future Armada products, the Atlantis is meant to serve as a ready-made vessel for use by either players or game masters (though the size of these particular ships are likely better suited to GM use). While presented as a mercenary force, it can be easily adapted to any military use desired; and three ships let you choose the one that fits your needs. Put the Atlantis and its variants to work for you!

12 Brilliant Celebrity Halloween Costumes Through the Years
I am currently in the midst of a last minute rush to find something fun, cool, and hopefully awesome to wear. So far, I've found that this is a bit of a challenge. If you go to many of the Halloween superstores that pop-up around our land, all that they have in stock are of the "sexy maid," "sexy Smurf" or "sexy Big Bird" variety, which might be appropriate for women in their early twenties who can pull it off, but how about the rest of us? How about us moms? There isn't much in stock for us. I needed some inspiration, so I thought I'd look to the actresses, entertainers and superstar parents for ideas. And there are a few that I not only like, but that I love! Check out these awesome celebrity Halloween costumes right here. Which one to you think is the best? -By Sunny Chanel

This is just one of the most beautiful places I've stayed in Turkey. The setting of the common area where you eat, and which overlooks the lake is ....... I can't put it into words, breathtaking is the nearest I can say. The whole atmosphere of the hostel too is wonderful, its very relaxed with lovely friendly helpful hosts, who are pro-active in promoting tourism in the area. It has both an indoor and outdoor area, so if you enjoy sitting outside and listening to the sound of the waves perfect

Happy Halloween!
I am frankly quite alarmed at how quickly October went by, and half-term for that matter. It's back to school today and back to routine - which obviously I love.
Meal planning went awry last week and I always find that it ends up costing me hugely so I am glad to get back into meal planning today and reducing my grocery bill slightly!
Week commencing 31st October 2011
Cheeseburgers and fries
Lasagne and salad
Not very inspired this week but I am looking forward to all of them! I'm trying out a new recipe for lasagne, so will report back.
The weekend will consist of lots of sausages I should imagine as I've a Bonfire party to go to on Saturday before hosting our own on the Sunday. Phew.
What are you eating this week? Do tell! The Linky is below, join in and spread the word about Meal Planning Monday!
love & kisses

At SCE&G, we take pipeline safety seriously and are pleased that the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act, signed into law on December 17, 2002, supports and reinforces what we've always been doing. The legislation mandates significant changes and new requirements in the way that the natural gas industry ensures the safety and integrity of its pipelines.
Read the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive about our Pipeline Safety Program.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why are you inspecting specific natural gas lines? A. While pipeline inspections are an important part of operations and maintenance, our inspection is part of a program we've implemented to meet additional federal requirements set forth in the 2002 Pipeline Safety Improvement Act. This bill establishes more stringent regulations and requires companies to inspect and assess segments of pipeline meeting specific criteria, such as the pipeline's proximity to high-density population areas (cities, suburbs, etc.).
Q. Are the pipelines that are being inspected safe? A. Yes. It's important to note that we have always performed inspections on our pipelines as well as related facilities. The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act simply establishes the criteria for identifying pipeline segments subject to more stringent inspections.
Q. What will you do if you find a problem? A. We will take the steps necessary to make the appropriate repairs. There are specific operational and safety procedures that we follow based on the work required.
Q. How do you inspect the pipelines? A. We ensure the integrity of our pipelines through both internal (inside the pipe) and external (outside the pipe) testing. Through the years, the natural gas industry has seen the development of highly sophisticated, computerized equipment that is widely used in examining and analyzing the physical reliability of pipelines inside and out. A number of other tests are also conducted.
Q. Will the natural gas supply be affected? A. There should be no interruption of service resulting from the inspection of our pipelines. However, if repairs are needed, service to a customer or group of customers could be impacted. We always try to minimize any service disruption to our customers.
Q. Why are you inspecting pipelines in my area as opposed to other pipelines? A. By using the criteria established through the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act, we have identified several pipeline segments on our system that have been or will be inspected.
Q. What activities will be conducted on my property if you have to inspect a section of pipeline located on my property? A. During the inspection process, there should be minimal activity. However, if repairs are needed for a section of pipeline located on your property, activity could be much greater as crews make the necessary repairs. Rest assured, we will contact you if such work is required, and will try to minimize the activity and the length of time we're on your property.Q. Why aren't you inspecting the gas supply line to my house? A. We are inspecting pipelines that have been identified using the criteria set forth by the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act, which calls for the inspection of transmission pipelines. Transmission pipelines are the larger lines that carry greater volumes of natural gas than smaller distribution and service pipelines.
Q. How long will the inspection of a pipeline take? A. Several factors, such as the type of inspection being conducted and the distance of the pipeline under review, can impact how long it takes to complete an inspection. Therefore, it's difficult to give a specific length of time.

Also called third molars, wisdom teeth usually make their first appearance in young adults between the ages of 15 and 25. Usually, an initial evaluation of the wisdom teeth should be performed between the ages of 16 and 19. Because most mouths are too small for these four additional molars, an extraction (removal) procedure is often necessary.
The following symptoms may indicate that the wisdom teeth have erupted and surfaced, and should be removed before they cause more serious problems. The wisdom teeth may be partially erupted, meaning the teeth have partially surfaced and have no room in the mouth to come in completely. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Completely impacted teeth have not come through the gum and may never erupt into the mouth. If they are not causing problems or potential problems, many dentists will opt to monitor them over time. If the wisdom teeth are causing problems or likely to cause problems, most oral health specialists will recommend immediate removal of the wisdom teeth, as early removal will help to eliminate problems, such as an impacted tooth that causes the roots of the second molar to dissolve. According to the American Academy of General Dentistry, third molar impaction is the most prevalent medical developmental disorder.
Some problems associated with impacted third molars include the following:
Wisdom tooth extraction surgery involves making an incision through the gum tissue that presides over the tooth, gently detaching the connective tissue between the tooth and the bone, removing the tooth, and suturing (sewing) the opening in the gumline.
Most wisdom teeth extractions are performed in the dentist's office under local anesthesia. Patients who are particularly anxious should consult their dentist or oral surgeon about supplements to local anesthesia or alternative forms of anesthesia.

How were you introduced to table tennis:
I was looking for a sport that I could do together with my sons. About three years ago I went to visit the Newgy Robo-Pong facility in Gallatin, TN, where I met the owner, Mr. Joe Newgarden. Ever since then, this place has become like a second home to me. My boys and I started going there for lessons twice a week, and learning how to play. Mr Newgarden's passion, his efforts to bring Table Tennis to schools, his love of this sport, his dream to build an Olympic Training Center, his big vision, and his positive, supportive attitude toward my boys and me made us all want to be a small part of his dream.
