Meeting up with an icon
Our first meeting was over 15 years ago, when we casually shook hands at the launch party of her husband's television show. But it was only early this year that I could meet her again at a suburban club, moments after she had won a game of bridge. She promised an interview a fortnight later, but that day was to dawn after a month, since she was having guests in residence.
Sadhana Nayyar's bungalow is well-known in her Santacruz neighbourhood of Mumbai. The house is incredibly spick and span though workers are doing up the place. You enter the world of the '60s where the décor is cozy, simple yet stylish, where tea and biscuits come in unasked, and the actress' warm welcoming smile is accompanied by an apology for the "mess the house is in". The charismatic persona is intact, the sense of humour distinct. Sadhana Nayyar, nee Sadhana Shivdasani, is warm yet - to use modern-day parlance - chilled-out. As she recounts the fascinating ups and (a few) downs of her life, the great mimic in her surfaces when she occasionally steps into Quote-Unqoute mode about an associate. The only time her face goes stern is when she declares that she did not attend the Hum Dono - Rangeen premiere only because she was not invited.
From Screen to screen!
Hum Dono was one of Sadhana's very few films that had another heroine, Nanda. "In those days, stories demanding more than one heroine were rarely made. I had just one sequence with Nanda in the temple, and the same was the case with Sharmila Tagore in Waqt. There was Waheeda Rehman in Ulfat, which was somehow released two decades later as Ulfat Ki Nayi Manzilein, though I had not even completed my work in it."
Sadhana's family was very well-to-do till Partition wreaked its havoc on them and they had to come down to Mumbai in the mid-'50s. "I had always wanted to be an actor and my parents had no objection though I was the only child. In Mumbai, I studied in Jai Hind College and was noticed in a college play by a director who was planning to make the first-ever Sindhi film, Abana. I played Sheila Ramani's sister. Arjun Hingorani, who discovered Dharam (Dharmendra), was its assistant director."
Screen, the newspaper, also had a role in Sadhana's career. "That's where I saw an advertisement that Filmalaya, which was being launched by S. Mukerji, wanted new faces," says the actress. "Mukerjisaab had just branched out on his own and for a year I trained at his school, then housed in his famous residence Grotto Villa itself, and my teacher was P.D.Shenoy, who later made several films. Then S.Mukerji signed me as the heroine for his son Joy Mukerji's debut, Love In Simla. It was a major hit in 1960."
Sadhana was never apprehensive about being sidelined because the film's producer was launching his own son. "I had an author-backed role too.," she says.
Since then, Sadhana acted in 28 more Hindi films, and except for the five delayed relics that saw limited release between 1974 and 1995 (Chhote Sarkar, Vandana, Amaanat, Mahfil and Ulfat ) 18 of the others proved hits or successes. The major hits include Hum Dono, Asli Naqli, Ek Musafir Ek Haseena, Mere Mehboob, Woh Kaun Thi?, Rajkumar, Arzoo, Waqt, Mera Saaya, Intaqam, Ek Phool Do Mali and Aap Aaye Bahaar Ayee. The last film, recalls the actress, did decent business when first released in 1971 but became a blockbuster in re-runs in the '80s!
The musical superstar
Most of Sadhana's biggest hits were also musically rich. Her two home productions Intaqam and Geetaa Mera Naam also had exceptional music, but Sadhana says that it was all because of the composers who always wanted to excel, especially in big films with top stars. The late R.K.Nayyar, Sadhana's husband and her first director, had a great sense of music, but she rarely went to music sittings. "But sometimes Laxmiji (of Laxmikant-Pyarelal) would make me listen to a song," she says. "So would many filmmakers."
However, there was an amusing side to this that is not well-known. S.Mukerji for some reason had assumed that Sadhana had a sense of music and would often call her to give an opinion on his musical protégé Usha Khanna's tunes!
Raj Khosla once asked her to rank all the songs from their first film Ek Musafir Ek Hasina in order of how popular she thought they would be. And Sadhana's ranking came almost perfectly correct! "One of Rajji's top favourites among O.P.Nayyar's compositions was ranked last by me, and it proved the least popular in the score!" recalls the actress.
Sadhana has too many favourite songs in her list that spans classics like Salil Chowdhury's O sajana from Parakh, Jaidev's Abhi na jaao chhodkar from Hum Dono, Shankar-Jaikishan's Tera mera pyar amar from Asli Naqli and Laxmikant-Pyarelal's Mujhe teri mohabbat ka from Aap Aaye Bahaar Ayee to her multiple chartbusters in Madan Mohan's Woh Kaun Thi? and Mera Saaya, Naushad's Mere Mehboob, Shankar-Jaikishan's Rajkumar and Arzoo, Laxmikant-Pyarelal's Anita and Intaqam and S.D.Burman's Ishq Par Zor Nahin.
"I was a music addict, though," smiles the actress. "I could never study well unless the radio was on, and I would even be singing along while studying!"
The icon perks up when we refer to her favourite lyricist, the late Rajendra Krishan. "His contemporaries like Sahirsaab and Kaifi Azmisaab would have a PR mechanism in place, but this genius believed in jut doing great work," says the actress. "No one could touch him in Madras (Chennai) where he was king, but even here, I have seen him write a classic within 30 minutes of hearing the tune and situation! There is a funny story about his Kaise rahoon chup from Intaqam. My husband, who was no singer, came and recited the song's tune to me and I could not figure it out! The next day, rather doubtfully, I attended the recording and told Lata (Mangeshkar)ji about it. She sweetly hummed out the mukhda and I said, 'Wow! It sounds great!'"
Those were her days
Did she have friends within the industry? "I would call Rajendra Kumar and Shammi Kapoor good friends from among my heroes. There was no one among heroines," she says.
Having worked with the cream from Bimal Roy and Hrishikesh Mukherjee to Yash Chopra, Vijay Anand, H.S.Rawail, Ramanand Sagar, Devendra Goel, K.Shankar and more, Sadhana still considers Raj Khosla her favourite director. "Others saw me as a glamorous woman or a simple girl, but after Ek Musafir Rajji visualised me in roles like Woh Kaun Thi?, Mera Saaya and Anita. The first two were my only dual roles. We had started a fifth film called Sajan Ki Galiyan that was being produced by cinematographer Fali Mistry and had shot a beautiful song composed by Shankar-Jaikishan with Dev Anand as my hero, but the film got shelved."
She also enjoyed working with Manmohan Desai in Budtameez. "All my directors were older to me, so it was great fun working with an enthusiastic youngster, who has also been one of the writers of Rajkumar. But the film faced a lot of delays, and as with all such films, it bombed."
Sadhana also remembers her husband R.K.Nayyar as a stylised director who was ahead of his times. "Intaqam, our own film that became a major hit had the heroine taking revenge on a man by pretending to fall in love with his son, which was bold for that era."
The real love story
The actress confirms that Nayyar, who also made his own directorial debut in Love In Simla, fell in love with her right then. Her parents objected, because Sadhana was barely 16 and he was 22, and they went their separate professional ways. About five years later, when Mere Mehboob had proved a blockbuster, Nayyar had gone to meet Raj Kapoor, whom he had once assisted, and Kapoor asked him whether he could arrange a special screening of that film. "That's how Nayyarsaab called me up again, and we began where we had left off. My father supported me, we convinced my mother and in 1966, we got married."
The fashion icon
Sadhana also became famous as a fashion icon. "My forehead was very broad and that stood out when a new camera had arrived at S.Mukerji's office and all of us would take photographs of each other," she recalls. "In such cases, the conventional way out was to stick a patch of hair on the forehead, but Nayyarsaab had a better idea. He told me that Audrey Hepburn had the same problem and that's why she had cut her hair in a fringe. He made me do that and to date, the fringe is known among Indians as the 'Sadhana cut'!"
Sadhana was also tall compared to most heroines, and thus could not afford to wear heels, for that would have made her taller than her heroes! Raj Khosla once told Sadhana to remove her heeled shoes in a sequence and was told that she wasn't wearing any! "I was five feet seven. Add four inches of heels and three inches of hair - a bouffant was in vogue then! - and I would have stood at six feet two!" she laughs.
Another trend the actress set was of making the churidar-kurta a rage. "In Waqt, it came across as a modern style that was not necessarily a Muslim outfit as popularly believed." Her near permanent dress designer was the famous Bhanu Athaiya.
Quitting at the top
Sadhana's troubles came when she developed hyperthyroidism that had little treatment in those days and none in India. She flew off to Boston. The treatment was successful, and contrary to popular thought, Sadhana did not quit films because of that problem. After she returned, she had major hits and successes, among them Intaqam again, Ek Phool Do Mali, Aap Aaye Bahaar Ayee, Sacchai and Geetaa Mera Naam. "But I realised that what goes up must come down, and I wanted to stop at the top. Also I wanted to start a family, but that was not to happen," says the actress, who was also professional enough to complete the films that were delayed.
Sadhana has even refused to be photographed since, simply because she wants to be remembered the way she was. "I know I looked lovely," she says simply and factually. "I could have kept going, doing bhabhi and motherly roles, but I am the only actress of my generation who never made a comeback."
In synch with the times
Sadhana watches almost every film today and hears most of the music. She is a fan of all the three Khans, "Salman for being larger-than-life like the heroes of my times, Shah Rukh for his true-blue star quality and Aamir Khan for his hard work and the way he becomes the character." She admires the lyrics of 3 Idiots, which she considers one of the finest films she has ever seen, and finds the music of Dabangg the most refreshing score in a long time.
And actresses? Says the legend, "They are good, but the last icon was Madhuri Dixit."

Wonderful! I reduced the oil to a drizzle - just enough to roast the veg. Peeled the eggplant and added minced garlic, mushrooms and a couple tomatoes to the mix. Reduced the roasting time by 10 mins and could have cut down by another 5 (but mine stayed in the pan for a while after roasting). I used fresh tomatoes for the 'sauce'. My tomatoes weren't very flavorful so that could have been better. Added a reduced amount of pasta. Husband loved it that way. I could happily have skipped the pasta altogether and served with a good bread.
I was excited when I realized that I had grown all the veggies and herbs needed for this recipe. I made it for dinner tonight and even the picky grandchildren ate it. I admit, I put a lot of cheese on their portions....... The sauce made with fresh tomatoes was wonderful and lite and worth the effort because it was completely different than a bottled pasta sauce would have been. This recipe is a winner.
This was so great! I substituted portobellos for the eggplant due to allergies and served the peppers on the side (Italian frying peppers -- SO much more flavorful than red bell peppers!).
This is the first recipe for roasted ratatouille that I have seen. Why have I never roasted the vegetables before? Once I saw it, it seemed obvious. The taste is noticeably better, right out of the pot. My old recipe needed a day for the flavors to develop. This is my new go-to ratatouille recipe.
I'll keep this recipe - very good. I cut back and used 1 of each vegetable (only 3 of us eating) and added green beans, zucchini instead of yellow squash, added carrots. I also used a large can of tomatoes with/ juice and added a splash of chardonnay wine! I kept my pasta separate but next time I would add as the recipe suggests to let the flavor absorb into pasta. Definitely a keeper recipe!
Excellent recipe, but taste and texture of yellow squash do not ring true. Zucchini is much more traditional. Mom was raised in southern France, so call me prejudiced.
Outstanding flavor and texture. Best ratatouille recipe I have ever seen
I was never a big fan of ratatouille before, but that was because I hadn't made this version! You do need to keep an eye on the vegetables to make sure they don't overcook, but roasting them really concentrates and brings out the flavour! I found there wasn't enough "sauce" to seve it over pasta, but over cheesy polenta, it was delicious!!
Easy and delicious. Mostly hands off after cutting the vegetables.
Wonderful ratatouille recipe! I too had fresh organic garden eggplants and peppers, I think they are key to the success of this recipe. I used fresh tomatoes but no squash, as I didn't have any. I also did not use basil (the thyme and parsley were absolutely perfect here). Huge hit with the kids as well. Will definitely make again and for many years to come.

AUSTIN - The results of a Texas Lyceum Poll released Wednesday show a majority of Texans oppose Donald Trump's proposal to build a wall along the U.S./Mexico border.
The poll, which was conducted Sept. 1-11 with 1,000 Texans, covered a variety of topics that included immigration, voter ID, Medicaid and ride-hailing regulation. Those polled believe immigration is the number one issue facing the state and the economy the number one issue facing the nation.
Fifty-nine percent of people said they oppose building a wall along the border to try to stop illegal immigration, and 54 percent believe immigration helps the United States more than it hurts it. Only 40 percent of respondents said they support a ban on the immigration of any person who lives in a country where there has been a history of terrorism against the west. The data among likely voters showed 47 percent saying they would support the ban and 46 percent saying they would oppose it.
Nearly three-fourths of Texans polled believe requiring a government-issued photo ID at polls to vote is a good idea.
On the topic of ride-hailing, 54 percent said they believe ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft should be required to follow the same rules and regulations as taxis. Respondents were somewhat split on whether the regulation should be done at the municipal/city or state level, with 48 percent believing the regulation should be done at the city level and 43 percent at the state level.
Forty-nine percent of people believe Medicaid should be kept as is, while 42 percent believe Texas should expand Medicaid. Texas Lyceum said the responses were similar to when it was asked in 2013. They added 65 percent of Democrats supported Medicaid expansion, and 71 percent of Republicans believe keeping the program as is.
The poll also included questions on transgender rights and racial discrimination. The overall results show 54 percent of people believe students should have access to public school facilities on the basis of their birth gender and 31 percent believe it should be based on their gender identity. Texas Lyceum noted younger Texans, ages 18-29, were more likely to support access for students based on their gender identity.
Fifty-one percent of African Americans and 23 percent of Hispanics polled said they have felt discriminated against by police. The poll also showed 45 percent of African Americans and 25 percent of Hispanics polled said they felt discriminated against by an employer or potential employer because of their race or ethnic background.
Texas Lyceum data shows 41 percent of those polled said they identified as a Democrat, 38 percent as Republican and 21 percent as an independent. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points. GO HERE to read the full poll data released.
The data released Wednesday did not include information on the U.S. presidential election and job approval ratings. Texas Lyceum said that data would be released Thursday.

The court was shocked, shocked, to find topless photos of a beautiful celeb in a French magazine. Actually, "brutal" was how the tribunal in Nanterre, France, described the pics of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, that appeared Friday in the magazine Closer. The court, responding to a complaint by Kate and hub Prince William, ordered the mag on Tuesday to turn over all digital copies of the pics within 24 hours and cease further publication of them. The publishers will be fined $13,100 for every day they delay. The unauthorized photos were taken as Wills and Kate vacationed at a villa in Provence.
The court also enjoined Closer from republishing or reselling the pictures. The royals' lawyer Maud Sobel, calling court's action "a wonderful decision," said for the couple, "We've been vindicated."

------Get the quilters OUT OF MY WAY!
------height 5'2" bust 36, waist 31, hip 39.
I have way too many yards to count, and I will never use them up, but I will die trying!
I made something very loosely similar (does that even make sense?) a couple of years ago. I made the bodice a bustier style, and the drape was tacked on front and back where the natural meeting points were. I actually used crinoline netting to get the fabric to hold the shape I wanted and tacked the pleats invisibly. My fabric was not sheer though- A thought would be to use silk organza to help with shaping.
You could add a stay of some sort to the draped collar and tack it to the bodice also. By a stay in this case I mean a strap or a ribbon tacked to the underside of the collar and then sewn to the bodice. Adding some gripper elastic to the stay would help it grab the shoulder properly...
As far as the ruffle goes, I think it is more of a flounce and I would attach it to the underside of the pleated collar.
Could you show us a photo of the Butterick pattern? I can't seem to locate an image of it, and it might help to see it.
In my head I know exactly what I mean. Translating it to the written word is proving to be a challenge! -- Edited on 8/8/12 11:56 AM --

This review is from: HP Compaq LE1711 17" LCD Monitor - 1280x1024, 1000:1 Native, 5ms, 60Hz, VGA
Pros: It's a good sized monitor for a really good price. It's for a setup that only gets used maybe 3 times a week so I don't need anything to extravagant. No issues so far.
Cons: The base was actually cracked when I received it. Not sure if it happened in shipping or if it shipped like that. It really wasn't worth an RMA because I was able to put 2 screws in & it works just fine. Since I was able to easily fix it I'm not going to take an egg off since functionally everything works great.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: DELL Desktop PC OptiPlex 755 Core 2 Duo 2.66 GHz 4 GB 500 GB HDD Windows 7 Professional 32-Bit
Pros: It's pretty fast for the price. It was immaculately clean inside & out (& I'm picky). Everything is working great so far no problems at all definitely a recommended buy. Wish it would've came with 64 bit OS instead.
Cons: Not really a con but the keyboard is kind of cheap feeling but it was free so I can't complain.READ FULL REVIEW

Cons: None at all!READ FULL REVIEW

Possible issue with shared routines. I don't have the game, but such kind of games have shared routines (Same piece of code for all teams), so the trainer would give the effect to all the teams if not made properly - And I think this is not the case of CH trainers, I wonder why this trainer has (As reported by you).
And please do post this on the appropriate board.
Life is best for those who enjoy it, difficult for those who analyze it and worst for those who criticize it.

Well, I never use a cheathappens´ trainer for any Football Manager, but I had use other trainers I found in other websites and I remember that all of them did the same, so I think HonestGamer is right. It was horrible because when I executed the trainer to upgrade the stats, it upgraded all the stats of all players in the game to the maximum, and when you play a match, the goalkeepers kick the ball from their own goal to the rival´s one during the whole match XDDDDDDD. From my point of view, I do not recommend to use trainers for that kind of games (I mean football managers as fifa manager, FM manager, etc.), unless the only thing you want is to use the add money option (this is the only interesting option those trainers have in my opinion). The best thing you can do to upgrade your player´s stats, from my point of view, is to use google to find websites about different methods of using the player´s training options those kind of games have, or use a savegame editor (I think FM Manager has it´s own database editor within the game´s directory).

Hey ladies I see the June Bugs group is pretty dead.� Feel free to check in here if your still pregnant.
I had an appt yesterday (I'm 39 weeks, 2 days) and my dr. did an exam.� I'm only 1 cm and "soft" but my cervix is still partly posterior.� He said the baby is not low but that I probably won't drop until right before I go into labor.� He said he didn't want to strip my membranes since the exam itself was quite painful and he didn't want to hurt me anymore than necessary.� I've had quite a bit of spotting since (brownish) which I am sure is just from the exam.� But I'm also contracting more today and feeling a bit different. Trying not to get my hopes up but my dr. did say he thinks I will deliver before my next appt on Friday.� I hope he's right!� And I'm shocked he told me that because with DD he would never give an opinion like that.. I guess cause we all know they could be wrong.� Anyway he's on call tomorrow so it would be ideal if I could go into labor then but I'm not going to get my hopes up too too much.�

The Camden County Prosecutor's Office issued a memo to local municipalities in June that they are required by law to notify vehicle owners within three days after their cars are towed and placed in impound.
The memo was sent days after The Inquirer published stories about a Camden woman who repeatedly asked Camden County Metro Division Police to investigate the theft of her 1991 Chrysler LeBaron.
Instead, Michelle Perez, 32, said she was told by a detective that she was too busy to investigate. The car actually had been recovered within days. An Oaklyn officer spotted the car on the White Horse Pike and chased a driver into Camden, where Metro police assisted. Oaklyn police had the car towed to a Cherry Hill impound lot.

With oysters, as with all shellfish, freshness equals quality. Buy the local oysters if you live in a region that has beds. Otherwise, look for the famous New England oysters. (These oysters grow slowly, taking up to twice as long to reach maturity as its cousins from warmer places. I believe that the combination of cold water and slower growth is the reason our oysters have so much character and depth of flavor.) A very fresh oyster feels heavy for its size, as it is full of liquid that tastes of the sea. Oysters that are at all dry are old and tired.
Store oysters refrigerated with the deep side of the shell down. They should be kept moist by mixing in some rockweed, and they should be pressed tightly against each other, making it hard for them to open their shells. The best container is a sack made of burlap or some other porous material. Remember that any oyster found open is dead and must be discarded.
Opening an oyster is strictly a matter of leverage. No brute strength is required or necessary. At least one hour before opening, scrub the oysters under cold running water. Place them flat on a pan in the refrigerator, with the deeper (and rounder) half of the shell down, allowing them to relax. Remember, they are living creatures; too much shaking and handling will make them tense and harder to open.
Hold the oyster, flat side up, in a cloth or towel, pressed firmly against the work surface. Do not try to open an oyster in midair as you would a clam. Place the tip of the knife in the Achilles heel and turn your hand as if you were turning the throttle of a motorcycle, pushing in with steady pressure until you feel the snap. Now give a fill twist to make enough of an opening to slide the knife along the top of the shell, cutting the muscle. The top of the shell is now off and all that is left to do is cut the bottom muscle. Keep the oyster level at all times so as not to lose any of the juice.
Always serve oysters on crushed ice, which holds the oyster level and keeps it cold. For shucked oysters simply slide the oyster and it's juices into a small container and keep refrigerated.
Excerpt from "For the Love of Oysters," Yankee Magazine September 1990.

BREAKING JERUSALEM - LIVE FEED: Israeli Forces Take Control of Dome-of-Rock / Temple Mount - Injuries Reported!

AI is clearly a disinfo agent.. and i'm shocked more intelligent people (more intelligent than I) that frequent this space and post at a much higher rate don't speak out and call a spade a spade.
Is AI some sort of sacred cow?
He clearly avoids points that discredit his shilled belief system and constantly discredits any belief that isn't his own.
He regularly recites disinfo from Zeitgeist, and speaks of it to be truth and fact, when, in reality, its easily dispelled and shown to be a clear and present attempt to nullify the Son of God and the great works He did for all of MANKIND.
From this point forward, I will not read any disinfo AI attempts to propagate and I suggest everybody else does the same. If you don't feed the shill eventually it will die and fade into oblivion.
Anonymous Coward 22610784
i dont believe that at all and i happen to love the word of God and the message of Jesus Christ. i follow it daily. i dont agree with everything AI says but he has actually opened me up to far wider interpretation of the work of God than i would have ever come to listening to some church doctrine and interpretation. if you think it is an impossible theory that reformation churches could have added info and importance to certain biblical applications in order to retain or acquire power than you are just blind yourself and you probably wont get it.
the only place we differ is that i see there is absolutely something to what AI has to say. my belief is that it goes along with the word and it is the result of creation. i see it as something only a brilliant God could do. to tell the story of His creation within the heavens is amazing to me. also if you have truly read the word you have to stop believing it is something that we are supposed to just accept on blind faith. there is more logic to scripture than any pastor cares to teach.
can you see any benefit of a tithe collecting curch to want people to depend on their interpretation instead of thinking on their own? i will give you a hint... it isnt cause they are worried about your soul! i am not saying all pastors have an agenda. i am saying it has become tradition and expected from congregations. as soon as the bills start to come in it is impossible for ANY pastor to not have an agenda from that point on. people want to be shepherded blindly. that is an easy walk through life. my point is there are mysteries in the bible. there are amazing adventures with God and it isnt just when we die and get to heaven. there is a reason solomon knew the seals of angels. you just need to dig a little deeper.
Anonymous Coward 23739682
Thank you friend ! Wise words ! Its why they call it the pearl of high price. We have to keep on learning to the state of Gnosis..
Matthew 13:46 When he had found one pearl of great price. He was willing to invest everything he had in this pearl of surpassing beauty and worth.
Many christians are just used to sitting down and staring up at the Pastor at the Pulpit without thinking and examining things for themselves.
Its why every Christian should read literature and wisdom of Jewish Rabbis. They get you to think and ponder for yourself . They offer some of the pearls of high price that can get you to rethink and leave everything else one has learned
Its why we have to be open minded and consider that there is always more discoveries and mysteries to unveil.. Life is a never ending grand design of sacred science that on by one leads us to learn of immortal life...
yea right on brother. people are just so scared that they will "go to hell" if they disagree with anything that comes out of their pastors mouth. they are terrified to even believe in scribal error when it comes to the bible. i know this because i was one of them for years. but one day i wanted absolute truth and it has been an exciting revealing trip that has not changed one single ounce of my love for God or the way i see Him or Christ. and i love your term "sacred science"! i am going to use that quite a bit now haha. that is exactly what it is.

CPI in May 2008
June 16, 2008
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) advanced 0.6 percent in May 2008, following a 0.2-percent increase in April.
The index for energy, which was virtually unchanged in April, increased 4.4 percent in May. The index for petroleum-based energy advanced 5.8 percent and the index for energy services rose 2.3 percent.
The food index rose 0.3 percent in May. The index for food at home, which advanced 1.5 percent in April, also increased 0.3 percent, as five of the six major grocery store food groups registered substantial deceleration.
The index for all items less food and energy advanced 0.2 percent in May, following a 0.1-percent rise in April. Upturns in the indexes for lodging away from home, for public transportation, and for household furnishings and operations more than offset a downturn in the index for apparel.
For the 12 months ended in May 2008, the CPI-U rose 4.2 percent, as shown in the chart.
These data are from the BLS Consumer Price Index program. To learn more, see "Consumer Price Index: May 2008," (PDF) (HTML) news release USDL 08-0790.

Plans for a competition standard community cycle track at Slades Farm can now progress following the rejection of the town green application.
Planning Board rejected the town green application today (Monday 15 February) following a recommendation by the Inspector, who carried out a four day public inquiry into the application last October.
Now that this application has been rejected, work can continue with British Cycling to secure the funding needed for the project, which will help the Bournemouth Arrow Cycle Club to continue to help develop cycling skills for children and young people.
Councillor Anne Filer, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Tourism, said: "I'm thrilled that the plan for a modern cycling facility, which will benefit all ages and abilities, can now go ahead. We want to continue to offer this space to our communities for playing sports and recreation, and the cycle track will be a fantastic addition. The community will be able to enjoy a whole host of activities from cycle training and racing, learning to ride a bike, to cycling for exercise, in-line skating, BMX, skateboarding and running."
Chris Turner, Executive Principal, Glenmoor School and Winton Arts and Media College, added: "This is very exciting news and opens up all sorts of possibilities for educational, recreational and leisure provision for Glenmoor School, Winton Arts and Media College and for the community at large. As two local schools we are extremely proud to be associated with it."
David Cockram, National Facilities Officer for British Cycling said: "British Cycling is very pleased that progress has been made, and we look forward to working with the Council and the Bournemouth Arrows club to deliver the outdoor track in Bournemouth as soon as possible."
In addition to a cycle track there are also plans to build a new children's play area in 2011 and improve or replace old buildings to provide tranquil and wild areas in the park with a café and toilets.

Yitzhak Rabin's daughter Dalia has called for Israel to do more to keep the memory of the former prime minister alive at an event to mark the 15th anniversary of his assassination.
Ceremonies were held around Israel, including a candlighting with Israeli President Shimon Peres and a ceremony at the Rabin Centre in Tel Aviv.
Mr Rabin was killed in 1995 by a right-wing Orthodox Jewish fanatic during a peace concert.
As Israelis marked Yom Kippur, Egypt and Syria launched a joint surprise attack. They struck the places Israel had won in 1967; in the north the Golan Heights, in the south along the Sinai Peninsula.
Although there had been suggestions for several years that Egypt might hit Israel again, the attack was a surprise and Israel was not prepared to fight the fourth war in its history.
With a new round of direct discussions taking place in Washington, The JC looks back at some other attempts to bring peace to the Middle East and what we wrote about them:
Yuval Rabin, son of the late Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, has dedicated a plaque in memory of his grandfather Nechemia in the Ukrainian town in which he was born.
Just a month before he was murdered in November 1995, his father Yitzhak had visited the Ukrainian capital, Kiev, and was presented with documents concerning his father's birthplace, Sidorovichi.
Russian-Jewish officials who were present at the ceremony said Yitzhak Rabin had wanted to visit the village - now home to just 272 residents - but could not fit it into his schedule.
Complaints to The Guardian newspaper over an incomplete list of Nobel peace prize winners have led to a hasty amendment on the paper's website.
The incomplete list was up for four hours, despite comments below the list which pointed out the omissions of Yitzak Rabin, Menachem Begin and Shimon Peres.
Immediately following the announcement of President Barack Obama's win of the 2009 Nobel peace prize, Guardian news editor Simon Rogers posted what he claimed was "every peace prize winner ever", stating that the information came from the website Nobelprize.org
A week after Israel Prize laureate Professor Zeev Sternhell was the target of a bomb attack, fears are mounting that a new far-right Jewish underground cell has begun operations in the West Bank and is planning more attacks against left-wing personalities.
The group is suspected of carrying out a series of recent bomb attacks, including against a Messianic Jewish family in the settlement of Ariel in which a young boy was seriously wounded.

Deputy Daymion Marsh said Garth Steckler was driving the tractor, which is owned by Bill Lynch. Marsh said one of the tractor's wheels caught on the side of the bridge and burst, causing the tractor and baler to overturn.
TELL CITY - A state-police investigation that lasted nearly a year led to the arrest last week of a Cannelton woman on nine counts of fraud.
Dawn M. Hockenberry, 34, of 37A Pleasant Valley Drive, allegedly stole identifying information from two Cannelton residents and used the data to obtain student loans and other lines of credit. ISP Detective Chris Cecil said the victims had no knowledge of the loans until they began receiving collection notices. The alleged fraud began in late 2007 and totaled $32,000, Cecil said.
TELL CITY - An annual reorganization, selection of bread, milk and fuel providers and personnel actions were among agenda items at a regular meeting of the Tell City-Troy Township School Board July 17.

Mini Amaretto Peach Pies
A Recipe: Mini Amaretto Peach Pies
The Crust: a Pâte Brisée pie crust
(From Martha Stewart)
2 ½ cups of flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, diced into cubes, chilled
½ cup ice water plus 2 tablespoons
In a food processor, combine the flour, salt and sugar. Pulse for several seconds. Add your diced butter, and process until the mixture looks coarse, about 15 seconds.
Next, add your iced water (it is important that your water is cold) slowly, and process until your dough comes together. Make sure that you do not add too much water as you do not want a sticky dough.
Form your dough into one ball, and then cut the ball in half. Roll out each half into a disc and wrap individually. Store for an hour in the refrigerator to let your dough chill. After an hour, your dough is ready to use. For mini pies, I use the top of a wide mouth mason jar to cut into my dough for perfect sized mini pies.
The Filling: Peach Amaretto
(from yours truly, Coeur de La)
6-8 peaches, peeled, pitted, and cubed
¼ cup flour
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 teaspoon amaretto
1. Mix ingredients in a small bowl, being careful not to mash the peaches
2. Roll out one disc of pie dough, as this will be your bottom crust. To cut perfectly sized bottoms, I use the lid to a large mouth mason jar. Once your dough has been rolled out and cut, fit your pie bottoms into mini ceramic pie dishes. I found mine at Cost Plus.
3. Pour your filling into your pie molds. I like adding a heaping amount as there is nothing worse than taking a bit of pie and getting no fruit.
4. Now with your second dough, cut 3 inch by ½ inch long pieces of dough with a pie cutter. These will be used for a lattice crust.
5. Make an X over your pie filling with your cut dough, then begin to weave over and under with the other dough strips until you have a lattice. The first time you do this will not be perfect, but with time you will get the hang of it. Starting with mini lattice crusts is the way to go, as you only need about six pieces of dough.
6. Place pies on a cookie sheet, as they will ooze and make a precarious mess in your oven.
7. Make an egg wash with one egg and 3 tablespoons of water and lightly brush the tops of your pies, sprinkling with a bit of sugar if you feel inclined.
8. Bake at 375° for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Let the pies cool and …
Bon Appetit!

Janet Napolitano, Barack Obama's Token Nativist
With every statement uttered from her perch as Homeland Security czar, in every action she takes each day her fanny remains in its cozy D.C. seat, ex-Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano reaffirms that she's Barack Obama's token nativist. Best to think of her as a chunky, skunk-haired version of the Child Catcher from the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. But Nappy's not just after kids, she's after undocumented Hispanics of all ages, and she remains focused on rounding them up and sending them back with absolutely zero compassion or concern for their humanity.
Of course, everyone knows she's taken it upon herself to ramp up the 287(g) program, allowing local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration law. But take these comments to NPR's Madeleine Brand, in an interview posted today on NPR's Web site:
"We have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in this country," asks Brand. "What do you do about them?"
"Ultimately, that's for the Congress to decide," Nappy replies coldly, "and at some point in time, I think the president and the Congress will work out when it is appropriate to take that topic up again. But right now we're focusing on human traffickers -- those who are really exploiting this illegal market to great financial gain. We're going after those in our country illegally who have also committed other crimes. We're going after those who are in our jails and prisons who are also in our country illegally to make sure that once they complete their sentence, they're immediately subject to deportation."

And if they're busted for some lame-ass traffic violation? Hey, that seems to count too, in the Napster's estimation. Sheesh, why didn't Obama just make Sand Land Republican chair and ardent anti-Mexican Randy Pullen the head of DHS? Or even neo-Nazi-hugger and state Senator Russell Pearce?
Brand asks about "changing immigration policy to allow more or fewer immigrants in," but Nappy's having none of it.
"Again, that's for the Congress to decide," she tells Brand.
Brand inquires about "often quite wrenching scenes of mothers and children being separated and sent across the border," and she wonders if Janet's "going to change the policy of these workplace raids."
But Janet, ever the equivocator, dodges the question.
"What we are going to do is really focus on the employers and make sure that they are subject to criminal penalties for violating the law," replies Nappy. "I met with the attorney general for the United States, Eric Holder, to talk about how we unite the forces of the U.S. Attorney's offices across the country with our offices to make sure that those who are actually benefiting financially in large scale from this pay a criminal sanction."
In other words, expect the raids and those "quite wrenching scenes of mothers and children being separated" to continue. In the interview, Napolitano brags about signing Russell Pearce's employer sanctions bill in AZ, just as she did during her confirmation hearings. See, she's proud to be an anti-immigrant Know Nothing, or the closest thing to it in the Obama camp.
The transcript of the conversation does not reveal what Nappy thinks about being ordered by the House Judiciary Committee to investigate her ol' buddy Sheriff Joe Arpaio's 287(g) agreement with the feds. And since the podcast was playing the wrong segment when I checked, it's unclear if she was asked about it by Brand. Maybe the press has once again let Napolitano slide on a tough issue. Fortunately, the Napster will have to answer to Congress, and I hope members grill her ass raw the next time she has to go before 'em.

A few more work stoppages in 1998
February 12, 1999
Although low by historical standards, the number of work stoppages that began in 1998 was slightly higher than the total reported in 1997. The thirty-four stoppages idled 387,000 workers and resulted in 5.1 million days of idleness. Thirty stoppages occurred in the private sector, with an equal split between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries.
[Chart data—TXT]
The 1998 work stoppage involving the most workers (152,000) was between General Motor Corporation (GM) and the United Automobile Workers union (UAW); most of the employees were out for over 4 weeks. Other large stoppages included Bell Atlantic Corporation and the Communications Workers of America (73,000 workers out 3 days), U.S. West Corporation and the Communication Workers (34,000 workers out 15 days), and Northwest Airlines and the Airline Pilots Association (about 34,000 thousand workers out 13 days).
Almost four-fifths of the year's 5.1 million days of stoppage-related idleness stemmed from those four disputes: GM/UAW (3.3 million days), U.S. West Corporation/Communications Workers of America (340,000 days), Northwest Airlines/Airline Pilots Association (215,000 days), and Bell Atlantic/Communications Workers (146,000 days).
These data are a product of the BLS Office of Compensation and Working Conditions, Collective Bargaining Agreements. Additional information is available from news release USDL 99-33, "Major Work Stoppages, 1998." Major work stoppages are defined as strikes or lockouts that idle 1,000 or more workers and last at least one shift.
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, The Economics Daily, A few more work stoppages in 1998 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/1999/feb/wk2/art05.htm (visited September 27, 2016).
