Youssra El Hawary Scales A Wall With A Wink And A Smile
Originally published on Mon June 18, 2012 4:48 pm
I try my best to keep up on new sounds out of the Middle East and North Africa, but the name Youssra El Hawary was completely new to me until just a couple of weeks ago. But now, I'm totally hooked on music by this 28-year-old folkie-ish, indie-ish, chanson-ish singer/songwriter from Egypt armed not with a guitar, but ... an accordion.
In preparing for the Revolutionary Road Trip series, one of my colleagues here at NPR had stumbled across her Soundcloud page and passed it along. Hawary's songs were charming and spare: mostly just her sweet voice and either accordion or piano, lithe and sleek. But then, when I got to the third song, I fell in love. It's called "Al Soor" — "The Wall" — and despite its simple framing with accordion and recorder, lilting rhythm, playful melody and easy charm, "Al Soor" is a biting political commentary about life in Egypt right now.
The more I heard and read about Hawary, the more I realized that her quirky charm was less a persona than who she really is. Trained as a set designer, she's spent much of her creative life as an actress, not a musician — and this month, she's off performing with a mime troupe (yes, a mime troupe) on a tiny island in northern Holland. (Let me emphasize: mimes.) And after I talked with Hawary earlier this week, I realized that she's just as bubbly and frank in conversation as she is in her songs; hear her for yourself at the audio link above, from her appearance on Morning Edition.
For "Al Soor," Hawary borrowed the lyrics from one of her friends, the political cartoonist and author Waleed Taher: "In front of the wall/In front of those who built it/In front of those who made it high/Stood a poor man/Who peed/On the wall, and on those who built it and those who made it high." (Needless to say, a "good girl" doesn't sing about people eliminating — but Hawary does it with a wink and a smile.)
Taher had published them as part of one of his cartoons years ago, long before the Arab Spring — but Taher's meaning gained new resonance after a huge wall was erected in Cairo on Muhammad Mahmoud Street, which leads on one end to Tahrir Square and on the other towards the Egyptian Ministry of Interior.
So it was natural, if pretty daring, for Hawary to enlist a photographer friend to go shoot a DIY video for "Al Soor" in front of the Muhammad Mahmoud wall, which is now covered regularly with fresh work from a burgeoning group of graffiti artists.
In the video, Hawary is bathed in beautiful breaking morning light; the women shot the video shortly after dawn, mostly in hopes of not having their work shut down. But the giddy happenstances of this shoot done on the sly — the random guy who asks El Hawary to snap his picture, the kids dancing, the caretaker shooing everyone away at the end — just adds to the perfect, easy magic of "Al Soor."
Over the past two weeks on MORNING EDITION, we've been playing a lot of music from North Africa. Many of the songs featured are ones Steve and our team have been hearing on the radio during their long road trip. One Egyptian musician that caught their attention is Youssra El Hawary.
YOUSSRA EL HAWARY: (Singing in foreign language)
MONTAGNE: This song, El Hawary's best known, is about Tahrir Square, the vibrant center of Egypt's Arab spring uprising. When we called her, she told us it's also about the changes the square has seen since then.
HAWARY: The army came and built, like, a huge wall so that the downtown area is all locked because of this wall. And the traffic is so bad.
The song is called "Al Soor" or "The Wall." And it's about the many barriers that exist in society. The lyrics are from a poem written by the well-known Egyptian poet and cartoonist Waleed Taher. And the lyrics were written several years before the Arab Spring erupted. But the young musician, El Hawary, says the poem's theme resonated with her as she watched the military's attempt to clamp down on the uprising.
HAWARY: So, when I read this again, I linked it to the walls that we all see now in downtown and it's something we are new to Cairo.
GREENE: The lyrics feature a poor old man rebelling against authority in the only way he can.
HAWARY: A poor man came and peed on this wall.
HAWARY: (Singing in foreign language)
MONTAGNE: And those words, sung by a woman, sparked some outrage in conservative circles in Egypt. But the music video went viral on social media sites. It features El Hawary playing her accordion on the wall near Tahrir before she's chased away by security guards.
GREENE: The success of this song, some say, reflects the important lasting role social media has played in Egypt. It's one of 11 songs El Hawary has released on the Internet. She says she prefers that method because of its lack of censorship, lack of limitation.
HAWARY: (Singing in foreign language)
GREENE: And you can stream a mix of North African music and also see El Hawary's video for "Al Soor" at NPRMusic.org. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

2012 NFL Power Rankings
My final preseason 2012 NFL Power Rankings. I'm going to eventually use these rankings as the order for my 2013 NFL Mock Draft updates. Follow @walterfootball. I've gone from WORST to FIRST, so if you don't see reverse numbering (via Javascript), don't worry; the Browns and Dolphins aren't my top teams. Updated: 8/29 |
- Cleveland Browns (4-12) - Previously: 28.
The Browns are a disaster. I could go on a long rant, but I'll allow forum member and Cleveland fan GongKong to do that. Here's what he wrote upon reading that Charlie Campbell has the Browns No. 1 in his 2013 NFL Mock Draft:
Holmgren is an absolute disatser as a FO executive/de facto Owner
Randall Lerner did no due dilligence in his hires of Crennel, then his boss Savage that imploded, then Mangini and his boss in Kokinis that seriously imploded, then at least he hired the boss first in Holmgren, but then gave him owner level power for no reason at all.
Holmgren, "Bobby, who needs a paycheck?"
Bob LaMonte (Holmgren's and everyone of his coaching hires agent) *puts two thumbs up and points them at his own chest* "This guy, Mikey, this GUY!"
Way to run a team. Haslam will obviously fire everyone as they are incompetent boobs. Shurmur was a puppet hire and a weak HC candidate. Holmgren is terrible at everything he did as Team President. Literally, I could list 30 major decisions and all of them were wrong.
I am glad (not in the fan sense, but in the right prediction sense) that you have the Browns as the number #1 overall pick in 2013. Its like the easiest prediction ever. A crap QB, a crap HC, a team FO that are all lame ducks, an injured RB, no WRs, no OL, and a shaky defense no matter what homer Browns fans say.
I have predicted that Barkley will refuse to play for Cleveland ala Eli, Elway, and Bo Jackson. To be a Browns fan....
Cleveland Sports Karma will lead to thirty championships in a row in all three sports in like 2150
I couldn't have said it better myself. I'm also going to have the Browns selecting Barkley in my 2013 NFL Mock Draft, which will be updated in a few days.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 2-14
- Miami Dolphins (6-10) - Previously: 31.
I really have to question Miami's decision to start Ryan Tannehill. Not only are his top receivers Legedu Naanee and Davone Bess; left tackle Jake Long will be out for a few weeks with a sprained MCL. Tannehill's too raw to play right now anyway.
Starting Matt Moore would have been the right move. Moore would have sucked so much that anything Tannehill would have accomplished would have been seen as a major upgrade, which would have given him confidence. He could go to sleep thinking, "Well, I went 7-of-24 today for 74 yards and four interceptions, and we lost 49-0, but hey, at least I completed six more passes than Matt Moore did against the Texans!"
2012 NFL Projected Record: 2-14
- Jacksonville Jaguars (5-11) - Previously: 25.
Some guy named Alfie Crow doesn't like this Web site. He posted the following on Twitter: "I don't know why people read Walter Football for analysis. It's junk, made up crap. Always has been."
Always has been? Well, the name Alfie Crow seemed familiar to me, so I searched my e-mail archives. I found the following e-mail from one Alfie Crow on Oct. 22, 2009:
Do you even have Tebow graded in the first round after his struggles this season, out of curiosity?
Thanks for the quick reply. Your site's one of the best for draft info.
Thank you,
Alfie Crow
Zurich Insurance Services, Inc.
Business Processing Assistant
Busted. This prompted a heated, but amusing exchange on Twitter between Mr. Crow and forum member Ragnarok:
Ragnarok: @AlfieBCC Easily one of the better sites out there.
Alfie Crow: @Wipperman Walter Football? Sure, if you like made up information.
Ragnarok: @AlfieBCC Well, if you're saying everything they post is made up, then you obviously have never looked at the site.
Alfie Crow: @Wipperman "Some people in the organization think Blaine Gabbert is a lemon" - That's not "speculation". That's made up. ... I'm pretty positive Walter has zero Jags sources, and he just made it up since he cited no one and stated it as fact
Ragnarok: @AlfieBCC Oh, you're pretty positive? Sounds to me like you're the one making things up now based on no facts.
Alfie Crow: @Wipperman Considering I actually have Jag sources, yeah. I'm pretty positive.
Ragnarok: @AlfieBCC So that means no one else could ever have any. Nice assumption there. Still ignores the fact that multiple people have said it.
I'm not sure how a business processing assistant at Zurich Insurance Services has Jaguar sources. I mean, maybe he plays Madden, so he thinks he talks to all of the coaches and players. That's certainly a possibility. But from someone who actually has sources within the Jacksonville front office, I can assure you that members of that organization are down on Gabbert.
For the tl;dr crowd: Gabbert sucks and no one likes him.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 3-13
- St. Louis Rams (2-14) - Previously: 30.
It appears as though Sam Bradford has officially been diagnosed with David Carr Syndrome. How sad.
I've always wondered what the symptoms of David Carr Syndrome are. Yes, there's the cowering in the pocket, but how does this affect everyday life? Do quarterbacks like Carr and Bradford crap their pants when a large man walks toward them in the street? Do they automatically fall to the ground in fear if several men surround them? Do they wake up every night shouting, "NOOOOO PLEASE DON'T HIT ME, JUST PLEASE TAKE THE FOOTBALL AND SCORE A DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN!!!"
2012 NFL Projected Record: 3-13
- Arizona Cardinals (8-8) - Previously: 22.
The Cardinals can't block whatsoever. It's pathetic. The offensive linemen are so bad, it makes you wonder, why do they even have offensive linemen? Why not have five extra receivers on the line of scrimmage and have different ones be eligible on each down? That would totally confuse the defense. Sure, the opposing defensive front would get to Skelekolb almost instantly, but that's basically what's happening now anyway.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 4-12
- Indianapolis Colts (2-14) - Previously: 27.
Jim Irsay is an a**hole. I can't believe he tweeted that "major trade wins were swirling," and then all he did was deal for Vontae Davis. I wonder if he does this in real life...
Jim Irsay: Honey, I have a big surprise!
Mrs. Irsay: What is it?
Jim Irsay: Guess! You'll never believe it!
Mrs. Irsay: Did you buy another mansion?
Jim Irsay: No, even better!
Mrs. Irsay: A yacht? Did you get me a yacht?
Jim Irsay: No, think bigger!
Mrs. Irsay: Ooohhh, did you buy an island with your billions of dollars?
Jim Irsay: No! Come on!
Mrs. Irsay: I give up. Tell me!
Jim Irsay: I tried a Doritos Locos Taco and it was awesome!
Mrs. Irsay: Ugh. You're an a**hole.
See? Even his wife agrees.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 5-11
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-12) - Previously: 26.
The Buccaneers will be better this year, now that their key players are not fat and out of shape. However, Josh Freeman just doesn't look right. His decision-making just isn't very good, and he doesn't appear to have any chemistry with the overpaid Vincent Jackson.
Speaking of Jackson, I wonder how long it'll take him to back off the assertion that Freeman is a top-five quarterback in the NFL. What a dumb statement. It reminds me of something Migelini said on GameCenter last year:
heer are my thrower beests. 1 bradey 2 rof lits burgler 3 tarvis 4 teebow 5 not sure what all you theinks.
What if Jackson is Migelini, and signing with Tampa has changed his "thrower beests" order? I'm sure we'll be seeing a post that looks like this quite soon:
heer are my thrower beests. 1 bradey 2 rof lits burgler 3 tarvis 4 freed mont 5 sandchez what all you theinks.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 5-11
- New York Jets (8-8) - Previously: 23.
When Tim Tebow threw a pass right to a Carolina defensive reserve, I knew my inbox would be flooded with e-mails like, "I told you teboe sucks lololololololol!"
Umm... no. Tebow wins games. He looks terrible when it doesn't matter, but he thrives in Tebow Time. Mark Sanchez, on the other hand, melts down and throws interceptions to defensive linemen. Tebow must start for the Jets because he's their only play-maker. Anyone who disagrees is racist against Tim Tebow.
Update: The Jets have too easy of a schedule to go 4-12, but they still stink.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 5-11
- Cincinnati Bengals (9-7) - Previously: 19.
I'm really down on the Bengals this year. Andy Dalton struggled down the stretch last season, and that has apparently carries over into the exhibition contests. Dalton has continuously missed an open A.J. Green for deep completions. What's especially bad about this is that Green appears to be near his breaking point. When Dalton overthrew him in the end zone this past weekend, Green made a frustrated gesture toward Dalton - something often seen out of Terrell Owens and guys of that ilk. I'm not saying that Green is a scumbag like Owens, but it appears as though he's just about fed up with Dalton's inadequacies.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 6-10
- Minnesota Vikings (3-13) - Previously: 32.
I feel like Viking fans should have protests in the streets, urging the front office and coaching staff to keep Adrian Peterson on the sideline until October. There's no point in rushing him back. Jerry Rice tried to return early from the same injury and just got hurt again. The all-time greats aren't immune from re-injuring their ACLs.
And besides, the Vikings don't even need a banged-up Peterson in September. They can't win two of three games against Blaine Gabbert, Andrew Luck and Alex Smith? Really?
2012 NFL Projected Record: 6-10
- San Diego Chargers (8-8) - Previously: 21.
Everyone seems to love the Chargers. I've heard several people anoint them as this year's sleeper team.
Fools. Is Norv Turner still there? Yes? Does the defense still blow? Yes? Well then, I wonder if they're going to suck in September, catch fire in November and then have a meltdown game in December again. No, that can't possibly happen for the 20th year in a row, can it?
2012 NFL Projected Record: 8-8
- Washington Redskins (5-11) - Previously: 15.
The Redskins should be solid this year, even while Robert Griffin figures things out. I want to discuss the Chris Cooley release though because it's a disgrace. There was no way Washington would have kept him at a $4 million salary this season. The front office knew that all along. So, why didn't it cut him sooner? Because Daniel Snyder saved $2 million by waiting until late August; otherwise he would have canned Cooley sooner.
The NFL really should have stepped in and done something about this. Roger Goodell could have said in March, "You can save your $2 million now. Just cut him if you're going to do it already." Instead, Cooley's going to have trouble finding a starting gig because he was released so close to the start of the regular season.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 7-9
- Dallas Cowboys (8-8) - Previously: 17.
I'm going to stick with what I wrote in March because I can't believe that the dumb former NFL players on TV actually think Dallas can win the division: Great in November, crappy in December, coaches do something stupid, Tony Romo struggles in biggest game, Cowboy fans deny Romo struggles in biggest game, blah blah blah...
2012 NFL Projected Record: 8-8
- Tennessee Titans (9-7) - Previously: 18.
Jake Locker throws the ball like a leering drunk sometimes (Derek Anderson), but starting him was the right decision. Despite what the biased NFL Draft analysts say on TV, Hasselbeck is done. Of course, they disagree, but only because they're friends with Hasselbeck.
I like Kendall Wright as well. As does Rotoworld. Perhaps a little too much:
Slut duties? Did Roger Goodell change the rules? And more importantly, can I hire someone to handle slut duties around my office?
2012 NFL Projected Record: 8-8
- Oakland Raiders (8-8) - Previously: 29.
I know Carson Palmer is an interception machine, but I feel like the Raiders are pretty underrated. Everyone's writing them off, yet they have dynamic offensive play-makers and a defensive front that can get to the quarterback. They have a legitimate shot at the AFC West.
Oh, and I'm glad that Terrelle Pryor performed well despite completing just three passes against the Lions. He was on the field because Matt Leinart was out with a cut on his finger. Seriously. That's why he didn't suit up. As my editor said upon hearing this, "That is only acceptable if he's dating Brandon Marshall's ex-wife."
Leinart is not dating Marshall's ex-wife. He would never cheat on Nick Lachey.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 8-8
- Philadelphia Eagles (8-8) - Previously: 8.
The Eagles will choke and underachieve, as usual. Their current starting quarterback will also miss multiple games, so that won't help. Maybe Nick Foles will be good.
Speaking of Foles, my dad called me upon seeing the rookie quarterback against the Patriots' backups. He was very excited: "I'm telling you, Nick Foles will be almost as good as Andrew Luck!"
I found this hilarious because my dad and I had this exchange right after the 2012 NFL Draft:
Dad: Who is this Nick Folds idiot? I wanted Ryan Tannehilly! He's the next Peyton Manning!
Me: You've never even watched either Tannehill or Foles play.
Dad: I don't care! Anyone is better than that idiot they have now. He raped dogs!
2012 NFL Projected Record: 9-7
- Buffalo Bills (6-10) - Previously: 11.
I liked the Bills a ton earlier this offseason, but Ryan Fitzpatrick has looked awful this August. Yeah, I know, these are all meaningless games, but Fitzpatrick was much better last preseason. Was last year's horrific finish really the result of a rib injury, or did teams simply figure out Chan Gailey's offense? If the latter is true, it's a shame because the Bills have a really solid roster otherwise.
Having said that, I have the Bills winning 9-10 games this year because they have one of the easiest schedules I've ever seen.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 9-7
- Seattle Seahawks (7-9) - Previously: 24.
I was really down on the Seahawks earlier this offseason. I didn't think Matt Flynn was a very good signing, and I expected some regression out of Marshawn Lynch in the wake of his new contract. But Russell Wilson's the real deal. He gives Seattle a very good shot at the NFC West, especially with San Francisco due for some regression of its own.
I have to mention Pete Carroll though. He really has to stop lying. It's getting ridiculous. He appeared on PTI two weeks ago and said how great Terrell Owens was doing, and then went on to cut him about 10 days later. Carroll then said that Owens could still play in this league, which was an obvious ruse to get some other team to sign him, so that he could poison that locker room. Carroll also said he's happy that his front office paid $10 million for Flynn. Yeah, OK. That's like buying a house for $300,000 and then realizing that it has rotting floors, a leaky ceiling and broken plumbing. Would you be happy paying for that?
2012 NFL Projected Record: 9-7
- Denver Broncos (8-8) - Previously: 20.
Peyton Manning apparently can throw more than 10 yards to his right. That's good news. It's still questionable if he can make it through a whole season after four neck surgeries, however.
I can't say anything too bad about Manning though because my girlfriend is a big fan of his. How big? I received this text from her when she met him at Broncos' training camp: "OH MY F***ING GOD IT'S PEYTON MANNING UEEJENHAIQIDMW"
2012 NFL Projected Record: 9-7
- Carolina Panthers (6-10) - Previously: 13.
I hate betting against Cam Newton, but there's a chance that he'll endure a sophomore slump. His offensive line can't protect him; Steve Smith is a year older and a year slower; and opposing defenses have had an entire offseason to game plan against him. Having said that, Newton has proven everyone wrong throughout his entire football career, so Carolina could easily go something like 11-5 and advance deep into the playoffs.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 9-7
- San Francisco 49ers (13-3) - Previously: 14.
The 49ers were really lucky with so many things last year, so they're due for some major regression. Their schedule dynamics this year are terrible; they're going to lose at Green Bay and then be on an emotional low against the Lions. They could easily be 0-2 going into Minnesota, which is a very difficult place to play. The Seahawks, meanwhile, are looking pretty good now that they might just have the best quarterback in the division... Not that that's saying much.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 9-7
- Kansas City Chiefs (7-9) - Previously: 9.
I've said this a billion times, but it's a shame that Matt Cassel is weighing down this football team. They'd be a Super Bowl contender with an above-average quarterback.
Oh, and since I'm discussing the Chiefs, I feel obligated to once again post the creepy Todd Haley gif:
2012 NFL Projected Record: 10-6
- Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4) - Previously: 7.
I'm moving the Steelers down because they have way too many injuries. What a shame that David DeCastro is going to miss most or all of this season. It sucks for the Steelers and it sucks for me, given that I'm losing out on opportunities to make fun of dumb front offices (Chiefs, Seahawks, etc.) for passing on him.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 10-6
- Atlanta Falcons (10-6) - Previously: 12.
Julio Jones is a monster. It's a good thing the Falcons made that trade. Would you rather have Jones or the quartet of Phil Taylor, Greg Little, Brandon Weeden and Owen Marecic? Yeah, yeah, I know I thought the Falcons gave up too much at the time. It's not my fault the Browns keep making crappy draft picks.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 11-5
- Chicago Bears (8-8) - Previously: 6.
I liked the Bears a lot more before I learned that Brian Urlacher is still suffering knee problems. Having said that, isn't it weird that Chicago's greatest question mark is on defense? The team is mostly set on offense. I never thought I'd say that about the Bears.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 10-6
- Baltimore Ravens (12-4) - Previously: 10.
Maybe the key to becoming a great quarterback in the NFL is to actually believe that you're the best. Eli Manning said he was elite a year ago, and everyone laughed at him. We all saw what happened with him. Now, Joe Flacco seems to believe he's the best signal-caller in the league. Could that be the explanation for why he's played so well in the preseason?
Hmm... you know what? I have an announcement to make: I'M THE BEST QUARTERBACK WHO EVER WAS AND EVER WILL BE!!!
Now I just have to wait for an NFL team to sign me.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 10-6
- Detroit Lions (10-6) - Previously: 5.
I'd say the key to the Lions' season, aside from keeping Calvin Johnson safe from the Madden Curse, is to stop melting down with dumb penalties and mistakes in key moments. However, given how many arrests Detroit has had this offseason, expecting them to be more disciplined seems like way too much to ask.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 11-5
- New Orleans Saints (13-3) - Previously: 16.
I have to give Joe Vitt and the other head coaches credit. This Saint team seems sharp despite all of the Bountygate crap it had to endure this offseason. Yeah, I'm just basing it off exhibition contests, but New Orleans looks good. The franchise is pretty fortunate to have someone like Drew Brees at the helm in this scenario. I feel like the team would have fallen apart with even an average quarterback.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 11-5
- New England Patriots (13-3) - Previously: 3.
The Patriots can't seem to protect Tom Brady right now, but I'm sure Bill Belichick will shore things up in the regular season. If I were a New England fan, I wouldn't be too concerned.
Speaking of Brady, I want to announce that there will be a new, weekly feature on my NFL Picks pages this season called the Adventures of Tom Brady's Haircuts. Brady will have a new (real) haircut each week, and he'll assume the personality of that haircut. It's going to be fun.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 13-3
- Houston Texans (10-6) - Previously: 4.
One of Bill Simmons' young and up-and-coming sports writers criticized the Texans' offseason because they paid Arian Foster a 5-year, $43.5 million contract with $20.75 million guaranteed and consequently let Mario Williams, Mike Brisiel and Eric Winston go. Considering that the Panthers paid more for Jonathan Stewart, I'd say Houston didn't make a bad decision.
Losing Winston and Brisiel was a bummer, but Gary Kubiak, much like his former boss, Mike Shanahan, believes that he can just plug offensive linemen into his zone-blocking system. Houston will be fine. In fact, the Texans are easily one of the top two teams in the AFC.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 12-4
- Green Bay Packers (15-1) - Previously: 2.
I had the Packers and Texans in the Super Bowl in my 2012 NFL Season Preview, but I'm changing my pick in the wake of Desmond Bishop's season-ending injury. Green Bay could still win it all, but losing a mega talent like Bishop is going to be huge - especially when the defense was shaky to begin with.
2012 NFL Projected Record: 13-3
- New York Giants (9-7) - Previously: 1.
My Super Bowl pick? Giants over Texans. I never pick a team to repeat, but the Giants are different because:
1. No one is talking about them. Seriously. Most NFL analysts on TV have them finishing third in the division. They're not even discussed in their own city because of the Tim Tebow coverage. The Tebow signing is the best possible thing that could have happened to the Giants because it allows Tom Coughlin to play the "no one is giving us any respect" card.
2. It was not a fluke that the Giants caught fire in December and January. They had so many injured players earlier in the year, so it was no coincidence that they started winning once everyone returned to the lineup.
3. My girlfriend is also an Eli Manning fan, and I don't want to be in the doghouse.

Re: Mad FiberYeah looks hot!... seriously nice looking bike.
Now, hot to fit the magnet for the speed sensor on the rear wheel .
Re: Mad FiberV. Nice Clinchers I assume?
Re: Mad FiberInsane looking, but oh so cool!
Re: Mad FiberCan't wait for the report back!
Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Mad FiberApparently these have no weight limit eh? I bet if I sat my fat ass on them they'd snap
Please do report back! FOCUS Cayo Expert
Re: Mad FiberNo weight limit apparently ..... And a 4year crash replacement warranty, whatever that means. They do come with a tiny wheel magnet that fits in nicely between the spokes but ill just run my garmin tomorrow without!
Re: Mad FiberNo weight limit huh
I'm sure I'd crack them in no time. Masi Speciale CX 2008 - Brooks B17 special saddle, Garmin Edge 810
Re: Mad FiberI like the look of them, but as many around here know, I'm psychologically allergic to carbon and too frugal to spend that kind of money even if I wasn't.
Anyway, out of curiousity I went Googling for any evidence that Mad Fiber had spoke cracking problems, but didn't find any. They appear to be better built that the Mavic R-Sys anyway. http://www.pardo.net/bike/pic/fail-001/FAIL-104.html http://velonews.competitor.com/2009/06/ ... lure_93054
Re: Mad FiberR-sys problems are long since past... I see a lot of them out and about.
Madfiber is all bonded... they have a pretty good name in the reliability stakes, I wouldn't say no .

Re: Mad FiberNah... warranty . I could pop in to the factory for a new set once a week ( only 12 kms from home ).
Sorry neoppg... looking forward to ride report ... or even better, RACE REPORT.
Re: Mad FiberInterested to follow the report as I have been contemplating getting a set for the TI bike .... Mmmmm ..... Drooling over the keyboard
Re: Mad FiberREPORT REPORT REPORT REPORT!!!!

Re: Mad FiberThey might be good wheels (and for the price, they'd want to be)... but I hope their sales reps don't spam everyone else on here...
Re: Mad Fiber
Re: Mad FiberBeen a while for my report because I have certainly had my issues with my Mad Fibers..... Before I tell of my experiences 2 others I know have purchased a set but one set have not been riden on yet due to injury. The other set have so far been fine.....
My problems so far.... 2 tyres completely blowing off the rim (1 x front & 1 x rear) and before all the experts put their 2 cents in, yes they were fitted correctly. As a matter of fact the front did approx 3 or so weeks fine and then blew 70km into a ride before Christmas. As per the instructions from Mad Fiber the tyres were fitted with "Talc" and pressure put in and then removed and then inflated again?????? Lots of fun if you get a flat on the road!!! I have removed the wheels and refuse to take that kind of chance with myself or any one else riding with me. The last front blow out scared a lot of riders around me. These wheels were bought from local agent and I asked for Mad Fiber to be notified?????? Been long enough now and still no answer ...?????? Just my opinion but not a real great way to hit the local market with your new clincher wheel ..... I waited so long for these new 2013 model clinchers and have never been that let down by a product to date..... Bought a set of Reynolds 66/46 that should arrive this week ..... Trying to work out how to explain this <language> to the "wife"
Re: Mad FiberWhat type of tyre was it that blew off?
Once you can climb hills on a bike it's all downhill.
Hopefully I'll know what that's like..... one day.
Re: Mad Fiber
Did the rim overheat due to braking on a descent?
Re: Mad FiberThanks for the feedback. Reads like they really are Mad Fiber at the moment.
Might be worth trying different brands of tyres and rim tape though.
Re: Mad Fiber
Tried different tyres as advised by the distributor and they apparently don't require rim tape.

This AHA product not only has a pH of 4.4, which makes the AHA ineffective, but also contains an amount of alcohol that makes it too drying and irritating for all skin types. As if that weren't bad enough, it also contains eucalyptus oil.
Designed to be a light lotion formulation to be used on problem prone skin. Contains glycolic compound in an oil free light weight vehicle.
Purified Water (Aqua), Sd Alcohol 40-B, Ammonium Glycolate, Glycolic Acid, Sorbitol, Eucalyptus Globulus Oil
M.D. Forte At-A-Glance
Strengths: Several AHA options with pH-correct formulas; an excellent cleanser; sunscreens provide sufficient UVA protection.
Weaknesses: Expensive; mostly basic formulas that capitalize on AHAs but little else; some of the AHA products have pH levels that will not permit exfoliation; several products list AHA percentages that may be more irritating than beneficial for skin when used daily or long-term; no effective BHA options (AHAs don't work for everyone); jar packaging hinders a couple of otherwise well-formulated moisturizers.
M.D. Forte is a small line of physician-sold products that's focused on the benefits of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) as they relate to improving the appearance of wrinkles. M.D. Forte was owned by Allergan (of Botox fame) for several years but also was once associated with another doctor-oriented line called M.D. Formulations. Ownership history aside—and it was quite a business peccadillo, with lawsuits and hurt feelings all around, but that's another story—the focus of this review is whether or not M.D. Forte has any real fortitude for skin.
The good news is that there is a substantial amount of research proving that AHAs (particularly glycolic acid, which M.D. Forte uses) offer numerous anti-aging benefits for skin. Regular use of a well-formulated AHA product results in smoother skin, improvement in skin's moisture-binding capacity, enhanced collagen production, and a reduction in signs of sun damage, including wrinkles and sun-induced skin discolorations (Sources: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, April 2005, pages 1156–1162; Cutis, August 2001, pages 135–142; Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, July 2000, pages 280–284; American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, March-April 2000, pages 81–88; Skin Pharmacology and Applied Skin Physiology, May-June 1999, pages 111–119; Dermatologic Surgery, August 1997, pages 689–694, and May 2001 pages 1–5; Journal of Cell Physiology, October 1999, pages 14–23; and British Journal of Dermatology, December 1996, pages 867–875). Now that's a lot of research!
But there also is bad news, not about AHAs per se, but about the amount of AHA M.D. Forte uses. In this case, too much of a good thing isn't necessarily good for skin, at least not on a regular basis. In fact, the large amount of AHA included in several M.D. Forte products may actually be harmful for skin.
Most of the M.D. Forte products contain between 12% and 30% glycolic acid, which is above and beyond what any other company is currently using. Routinely applying 15%–30% AHAs in an effective acidic base (a pH of 3 to 4 allows AHAs to be effective) to skin on a daily basis may result in pronounced stinging, redness, and irritation. Continued irritation to the skin can cause negative results, just the opposite of what you want for your skin. There has always been a trade-off with using well-formulated AHA products: some amount of irritation (though many formulas contain anti-irritants to counter the problem) with lots of benefits. You always want to tip the scale in favor of the benefits (smoother skin with a plumped, less lined appearance), while incurring minimal risk, and for most people, that's entirely possible by using a pH-correct AHA product containing 5%–10% glycolic acid. Using higher concentrations can be overkill—and there just isn't any research to support the safety of using such high concentrations daily on a long-term basis.
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review board assessed the available data on the effectiveness and safety of glycolic acid, and concluded that AHAs are safe as used provided that the concentration of glycolic acid does not exceed 10% in a pH of 3.5. Higher concentrations (30%, for example) were deemed safe if used "in products designed for brief, discontinuous use followed by thorough rinsing from skin, when applied by trained professionals, and when application is accompanied by directions for the daily use of sun protection." The FDA concurs with this assessment, but goes even further, stressing the importance of sun protection while using any AHA product (Sources: 2007 CIR Compendium, 2007, pages 117–120; and www.fda.gov).
M.D. Forte attempts to get around these concerns by stating on their Web site that their high-concentration AHA products are balanced to achieve optimum concentration and comfort. They explain this dubious claim on the basis of partial neutralization, as follows: "Partial neutralization creates a reservoir of glycolic acid molecules that permits both first- and second-phase penetration. Because the glycolic acid is released over an extended period of time, higher concentrations of acid can be used to achieve maximum results. Importantly, partial neutralization also raises the product pH closer to the pH of normal skin, further reducing irritation potential to provide maximum efficacy, minimum irritation, and beautiful results."
That really doesn't tell you anything of value. In fact, simply controlling the rate of penetration won't make an AHA product with 30% glycolic acid and a pH of 3.8 less irritating. After all, 30% glycolic acid is still 30% glycolic acid, regardless of how slowly it penetrates skin; the irritation occurs on the surface as well as after it is absorbed, a double whammy. And the term neutralization, as it relates to pH, is out of whack: without question a pH of less than 7 is still acidic. And given that the average pH of our skin is typically between 5.5 and 6.0, a pH of 3.8 (or even of 4.4., as it is in some M.D. Forte products) is not going to make these AHA products uniquely compatible or more comfortable than any other AHA products. Instead of devising this partial neutralization angle, M.D. Forte should have formulated their AHA products by reducing the concentrations of acid with a cadre of skin-beneficial ingredients such as ceramides, antioxidants, and anti-irritants. As is, all of the AHA products in this line are as basic as it gets. The pH-correct offerings will indeed exfoliate skin, but there are other effective AHA products that are safer, contain more skin-beneficial ingredients, and cost far less.
Despite all the hype M.D. Forte makes for their products, it's important to keep in mind that AHAs are not the only ingredients that are of value to skin—lots of others play vital roles as well. Most important, you don't need AHAs in every skin-care product you use—cleanser, toner, scrub, moisturizer, or treatment product. Just one per face or body, used once or twice a day, is plenty. After all, there is only so much skin that you need to remove to be beneficial, after that, you'll be taking off too much and causing problems.
As a reminder, whether you choose an AHA product from M.D. Forte or another line, please be extra cautious: be sure to use a well-formulated sunscreen rated SPF 15 or greater. This is crucial because when AHAs exfoliate they return the skin to some amount of its pre–sun-damaged level (which is a good thing because pre–sun-damaged skin is far healthier and looks younger!) and it is vital to protect the "new" skin from exposure to more damage.

PEACH VALLEY - Both Coal Ridge and Battle Mountain are far from finished products. Countless turnovers and missed shots in Tuesday's meeting between the two boys basketball squads suggested as much.
The Huskies appear to be making some major progress, though.
Jimmy O'Rourke poured in 19 points and Joe LyBarger added 17, lifting visiting Battle Mountain to a 59-47 win in Peach Valley.
"You know, we're getting there slowly," said Huskies head coach Tommy Padilla, whose team improved to 4-0 with the non-conference triumph. "We've still got some room to improve. We haven't played our best basketball yet. We've got a new system we implemented this year, and we're just getting used to it right now."
The Titans (0-2) are lean on experience and are still finding their way.
"We're a young team, in terms of experience especially," said head coach Paul Harvey, whose squad features just two returning lettermen. "We're learning to play together. We're learning to play hard, and we're improving."
Battle Mountain led 14-8 after a quarter, 25-17 at halftime and 40-32 after three.
The Huskies' focus entering this season: Limit the turnovers and play solid defense. For the most part, Padilla said, both happened on Tuesday.
"I think we did," he said. "We're still missing some backside assignments. Once we play defense, we can get up and down the court and our defense will feed our offense."
Battle Mountain will head to Middle Park for boys and girls games on Friday. Next up for Coal Ridge is a visit to Rifle on Tuesday.
Coal Ridge girls roll past Huskies
Paige Ryan led a balanced attack with 14 points, lifting Coal Ridge's girls to a 63-25 win over Battle Mountain in Tuesday night's early varsity contest.
Cassie Blackard chipped in with 12 points, Britni Allen nine and Emma Speer eight.
"I thought we played pretty good defense," Titans coach Damon Martinez said. "That set the tone. We got a lot of transition baskets. ... The girls played well."
Elizabeth Olivas led Battle Mountain (1-3) with 13 points.

Transparency 'enforcer' in new oversight role
Tuesday - 8/2/2011, 5:27pm EDT
Earl Devaney, Chairman, Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board
By Jack Moore
Federal News Radio
Call it spending oversight 2.0.
Satisfied with the work of the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board — the independent agency created to oversee the infusion of federal dollars from the 2009 Recovery Act — the Obama Administration is having another go-round.
The Government Accountability and Transparency Board will more broadly oversee all facets of federal spending with an eye to cut government waste and increase transparency.
In contrast to the Recovery Board, the new body will be staffed with a number of high-profile federal agency leaders, rather than only inspectors general.
But some things can't be improved upon: The administration has asked the RAT Board leader, Earl Devaney, who also serves as the Interior Department IG, to head the new oversight board.
Devaney told Federal News Radio, while the new board will be similar to RAT, it will have some notable differences. Besides membership, "the mission is different," he said.
The mission of this new board, Devaney said, is to "take a look at the lessons learned during (the Recovery Act) and see if any of those or all of those lessons are applicable to the rest of government."
There are three pillars supporting the GAT Board's mission:
- Clean data — The Recovery Board was able to collect more accurate data because it was taken directly from recipients of federal spending, rather than relying on agency-reported data, Devaney said.
- Transparency — Devaney said the increased transparency had dramatically lowered instances of fraud in Recovery Act payouts.
- Accountability model - Devaney said the original RAT Board used tools and modules originally created for the intelligence and law enforcement world and applied them to spending. "And lo and behold, it had the same results," he said: "We were able to predict where fraud would occur and stop that fraud before it happened."
The spending watchdog had his own metaphor to describe the board's work.
"One of the things I like to say is transparency is the friend of the enforcer and the enemy of the fraudster," he said. "I think it sort of equates to a burglar going into a neighborhood and seeing a house well lit-up and a big sign in the yard saying 'man-eating dog.' I mean are you going to burglarize that house or are you going to on down the street and find a better target?"

BULLDOG: Screen Play
They don't exactly make movies about stuff like this. Here's my interpretation of why, probably. Somewhere in Hollywood maybe, or more likely, Van Nuys, a meeting between a screen writer and a producer takes place ...
BULLDOG: Cold as _______
How's the winter treating you? Cold enough for you? If you're anything like me those queries might make you want to punch the person asking in the throat.
BULLDOG: Get it to the garage
Get this season to the garage. Something has changed. It feels like I can see the finish line to this Sabres season and while I can't wait to get there, I no longer feel all that conflicted.
BULLDOG: Familiar Feeling
I try. Honestly, there may not be anything I work harder at. Trying to avoid the fatalistic, here we go again, tragic comedy feeling that is a 14 year streak of non playoff football seasons.
BULLDOG: Offense Stalls
San Diego is good and their quarterback, Philip Rivers, is excellent. That is not exactly all you need to know about the Bills week three loss at home to the Chargers, but it is probably enough.
BULLDOG: Twenty years ago
Twenty years ago today changed our relationship with athletes forever. I don't have to be right about this but am pretty sure that I am.
Bulldog:East Side, West Side, Wheatfield, Batavia
Let me get this out if the way right up front. I'm including Batavia and Wheatfield here mostly as a nod to the fact that both locations have been mentioned as possible locations for a new Bills stadium. Here's the thing amount both of those spots.
Bulldog: Trying to get my head around head shots.
Trying To Get My Head Around Head Shots
What are we supposed to do with head shots in the NHL? Assuming for starters you aren't in the "it's old time hockey/keep your head up/I thought you used to like tough hits/when did you become such a pansy?" camp.
We could ignore them, taking the position that if the NHL isn't going to take doling out punishment

A review of "In the Company of Legends" by Joan Kramer and David Heeley.
"Premium Rush" is a breakneck chase movie about the daredevils who work as Manhattan bicycle messengers. With a map of the city imprinted in their brains, they hurtle down sidewalks, run red lights, go against traffic, jump obstacles and insist on using bikes without brakes. Whatever they're paid, it's not enough. If one hits your baby carriage in a crosswalk, you may not see it that way.
The title refers to the extra charge for fast delivery, I suppose. It may also refer to the film's adrenaline. The characters may not be deeply drawn, but you have to look fast to see them. This is an impressively skilled production that credits about a dozen stunt riders and even more CGI techs, and is never less than convincing as it shows messengers speeding fearlessly into traffic and threading their way through trucks that could flatten them.
Why do they work so hard and dangerously for relatively little money? They seem to do it for the high. They don't see themselves wearing suits and working in office cubicles. In the story told by "Premium Rush," it's less of a job, more of a noble mission, as three messengers outrace the NYPD to deliver a gambling ticket that only one of them knows the story behind. (It's to pay passage to the United States for the young son of the Chinese heroine, who worked three jobs to raise the money.)
Wilee (think WILE-E), played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, lean and intense, is said to be the best bike messenger in Manhattan, which is why Nima (Jamie Chung) asks for him. She needs the ticket delivered to a woman who will make a crucial call to China. Also in need of the ticket is a rotten cop named Bobby Monday, desperately played by Michael Shannon, whose gambling debts have him in mortal peril. The movie's first chase involves Wilee's bike and Monday's unmarked police car.
In a dizzying unfolding of events, two other messengers also get involved on Wilee's side. These are Vanessa (Dania Ramirez) and Manny (Wolé Parks). All would be gold medal winners if their jobs could be defined as Olympic sports. Bobby Monday also enlists several cops, one on a bike but outclassed; they don't really understand why they're chasing Wilee.
The bikes speed under trailer trucks, through food stores, up ramps, over barriers and so on. It's almost impossible to chase one with a car. At one point, the action involves Wilee and Vanessa actually escaping from an NYPD vehicle pound with the ticket ingeniously hidden.
And that's about that. If you're looking for depth and profundity, this is the wrong movie. But under the direction of David Koepp ("Secret Window," the screenplays for "Mission: Impossible" and "Spider-Man"), this is an expert and spellbinding adventure. I'm very weary of routine chase movies. There's nothing routine about "Premium Rush." Any action formula can be brought to life with enough imagination and energy.

Bionic Golf Gloves were designed by a leading orthopedic surgeon to improve comfort, control, grip and overall performance. The PerformaGrip system keeps your grip from slipping and the club head from twisting at the moment of impact. The club snuggles more comfortably into your glove hand, so you won't feel like you have to strangle it to maintain control.
Here's the best part: Your lighter-yet-snugger grip will also help increase your swing speed and add distance. Scientifically-positioned anatomical relief pads even out the surface of your hand, producing a lighter grip and eliminating hand fatigue round after round. You'll enjoy enhanced dexterity because of the ergonomically-designed Lycra motion zones over the knuckles and web zones between the fingers. Web zones also help keep your hands cool and dry on hot days.
The pre-rotated finger design complements natural closure of your hand, so you won't fight the leather when gripping. The top-grade cabretta leather feels and fits like a second skin and lasts up to four times longer than conventional golf gloves.

Wrangling between Mammoth and LADWP continues, judge chosen
Mammoth and Mono Lake have a new Inyo National Forest deputy district ranger and her name is Sarah Tomsky.
Most recently Tomsky has served as a program specialist in fuels management at the U.S. Forest Service's Region 5 Regional Office in Vallejo.
When he's not building bridges to Mammoth's Hispanic community, Police Chief Dan Watson is helping build houses for Mexico's impoverished.
Two weekends ago, Watson and about 40 members of the Mammoth Rotary Club were in Sierra Azul, a small Mexican village near Tecate, building a house in one day.
"The homes built by Corazon volunteers are humble by U.S. standards," Watson said. "They have no plumbing or electricity, but they are a big step-up for the recipients and very much appreciated."
As the Senior Class President, I would like to thank everyone for their help in organizing and fund-raising for the Mammoth High School class of 2012 senior trip to Los Angeles.
Over Memorial Day Weekend, 62 students and eight chaperones had an amazing time.
A teacher, a friend, a parent, a computer, a nursery, a principal, three special volunteers, and a group of motivated students: Do you think this combination could end in five new trees planted at a school? If your answer was yes, you were right.
It all started a few months ago when a Lee Vining Elementary school teacher, Ms. Silliker, assigned the fifth- and sixth-grade class a persuasive writing challenge. Ms. Silliker told us to brainstorm ideas for things we could change at our school and then we would write persuasive essays about the ideas to our principal, Mr. Yost.
Local Mammoth resident and day care provider Monique Foster was an adult woman before she realized that she had been sexually abused as a child.
Today, she's become a fierce advocate for children, who like her, have been to hell—but are not yet back. "I was working with these kids, they felt lost, they had no hope, there was no hope," she said. "I could understand, because I realized that that's how it was for me, that this was me."
The controversial process of closing some of the roads in the Inyo National Forest in entering its second year this summer, and the forest will hold another meeting this week to answer questions and update the public about the plan.
The meeting is Thursday, May 31 in Bishop (see below for more details).
A 47-year-old, six-year veteran ski patroller at Mammoth Mountain died Sunday when the off-road motorcycle he was driving crashed on a racecourse near Ridgecrest.
A violent encounter with a domestic violence suspect forced Mammoth Lakes Police officers to Taser the suspect, 43-year-old Stephen Anthony Mellor, and left the victim of Mellor's attack bruised and bleeding.
Mellor was subsequently arrested an booked at the Mono County Jail on $50,000 bail.
According to the police, on Saturday, May 26, at about 10:30 p.m., Mammoth Lakes Police officers responded to a domestic violence incident at Snowcreek Condos.
The Green Church talks continue tonight, with a talk on the "Dragonflies of the Eastern Sierra" by Ronald A Oriti, outdoor photographer and retired astronomer, at 7 p.m. at the Green Church.

Mammoth is fired up and ready to go.
SUPPORT FOR TIME ALPERS Mono County's District 3 cannot go wrong by electing Tim Alpers to represent them as their supervisor. Tim is decisive, fair and determined to do his best at serving the public interest.
It was supposed to be a quick run up to the White Mountains to watch last Sunday's eclipse, then another quick run down the mountains and home to Mammoth in time for Monday morning's work deadline.
I wasn't expecting much—just a few hours away from home, a good campfire and meal, and a glimpse of the eclipse.
Local author David Page's award-winning guidebook packs a surprise on every page

He's written for national publications and media, including the Discovery Channel, Men's Journal, Skiing, Backcountry, The New York Times, Hemispheres—and for locally produced media, such as Eastside magazine.
Staring down a looming 25 percent budget cut is enough to rock any company CEO—or maybe instead, it's enough to demand change.
It is the latter that Mammoth Unified School District Superintendent Rich Boccia bet on Monday, when he called together about 52 locals to plot the future of the district as it confronts the worst school budget cuts in anyone's memory.

No. That's the illustrations for one of their release songs, and you need to read the notes to understand it. There's more provocation from rms than "trolled by one person on a mailing list".

It doesn't make things better, but a lot of graphics developers think it makes life easier for them. And that always reflects as better support for users. Of course, I think it wouldn't be wise to use it as the main graphics API on Linux, since it's directly controlled by MS, but I'm far from opposing its very use.
I think Sony made a good choice with using FreeBSD. The FreeBSD kernel is lean and efficient and FreeBSD's UFS2 filesystem offers great responsiveness . I have tried wine gaming under FreeBSD and it was every bit as good as Linux, even running on ZFS (which is much faster than btrfs).
Sony has once again confirmed they're using FreeBSD:
"We would like to clear up a misunderstanding regarding our "direct" and "flexible" memory systems. The article states that "flexible" memory is borrowed from the OS, and must be returned when requested - that's not actually the case.
The actual true distinction is that:
"Direct Memory" is memory allocated under the traditional video game model, so the game controls all aspects of its allocation
"Flexible Memory" is memory managed by the PS4 OS on the game's behalf, and allows games to use some very nice FreeBSD virtual memory functionality. However this memory is 100 per cent the game's memory, and is never used by the OS, and as it is the game's memory it should be easy for every developer to use it.
We have no comment to make on the amount of memory reserved by the system or what it is used for."
