Partitions (2011)
by Amit Majmudar
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is set in India and Pakistan in 1947, during partition. Our narrator is a dead doctor, who follows his two twin six-year-old sons, an elderly Muslim doctor and a young Sikh girl, as they all travel to safety.
This is a difficult book to read. It is harrowing in places and I often found I couldn't read a lot of once as I was dreading what may happen next. It speaks of the futility of fighting and battles between the different religions, and the everyday people who get hurt and killed along the way.
This is a brilliant book in many ways - the point of view of the narrator is quite unique and actually works although it perhaps shouldn't. The main characters are all very different yet you find yourself rooting for them along their journey. It is very well written and the ending comes together very well. But it is hard going at times!
Partitions grabs you right from the beginning, with two small Hindu boys getting separated from their mother on a train amidst the chaos resulting from the creation of Pakistan (Land 'stan' of the Pure 'pak') in 1947. The division of Punjab along a somewhat arbitrary line results in Hindus being attacked on the Pakistan side by people they had lived side by side with for years, and then fleeing as refugees, and vice versa, with hate feeding on hate. In the absence of law and order, all sense of decency vanishes, and there is abduction, slavery, murder, and unspeakable cruelty.
The story is told in simple prose and through the voice of the ghost of the deceased father of the boys, who swirls around them and the other main characters, an aging Muslim doctor and a young Sikh woman who has fled from her father, who intended to kill her out of mercy rather than see her converted to Islam and defiled. All three major religions in the region are thus represented in the protagonists, and their stories eventually intersect.
Majmudar writes with honesty throughout the book, example of which are in his character's expression of their inward feelings of caste and hatred. It's a touching story that does not dwell on evil or cast judgment, and I liked it. It would have been nice to have a glossary for the terms used, some of which I had to look up. The events start to get a little coincidental towards the end, but Majmudar finishes his story in a balanced, very poignant way that gave me chills.
Incredibly powerful and emotionally charged debut novel from Amit Majmudar. Beautiful prose. A story full of grief, the theme being the partition of India and creation of Pakistan and the horrors that the process involved. The book's lyricism betrays a poet behind the lines, and I detect on the cover that the author was an award-winning poet before he became a writer, which, in its turn, is not his primary career either - he is a diagnostic nuclear radiologist, believe it or not... His writing style in this novel strongly reminds me of another favorite author, Andrei Makine.
There are books after reading which you wholeheartedly give them 5 stars, no doubts or hesitation or weighing pros and cons. This is such a book. I got introduced to this author by Librarything Early Reviewers - by reviewing his second novel, "The Abundance", which was also excellent (looking back - what a lucky chance I had spotted it!), but "Partitions" surpasses it, it simply shines.

It's 1947 and British India is rending itself into two nations in the beginning of its postcolonial future: Pakistan, India. Communal violence breaks out as refugees move to their side of the raw border amidst fire and death. And a small set of characters face a race against time, a dance against the rushing tide of history, to find a place, a safe place, a place to stand before the darkness in the hearts of men sweep them away.
fiction, historical drama, tragedy
Why this book:
It was priced right and the story interested me from the start.
This Story is About:
courage, facing the tide of history, surviving
Favorite Character:
Dr. Roshan Jaitly, Keshav and Shankar's father, or his ghost anyway as he plays omnipresent narrator moving us back and forth across Pakistan and India's fractured frontier.
Simran Kaur acting to save herself while failing to save her little sister. Powerful character.
Least Favorite Character:
The jackals in human form who preyed on the weak and the helpless.
Character I Most Identified With:
Dr. Ibrahim Masud. He spends the story doing what he thinks is right regardless of culture or the dangers imposed by the changing countryside around him.
The Feel:
The world of the book is unravelling around the characters. The feel of a leaf blown on the winds of history is well communicated here.
Favorite Scene:
Simran Kaur's last family gathering is very powerful. The fear of what could be coming. The peer pressure on her father. And the horrible, unthinkable option that becomes thinkable to them in those times.
The scene when Simran emerges from her home the next morning after her midnight return. The Brothers Ali discussing whether she is returned to life when viewing her soaked in the blood from where she had lain herself down between her mother and siblings in the death room. And the superstition flashing outward through their village and the surrounding villages providing her with safe passage through that area even though all of her people have either fled or been killed during the intervening hours when she was, first, hiding, and, then, sleeping beside her mother's corpse.
India, Pakistan, Punjab, train station, pediatrician's office, Kaur family home, the refugee camps
The pacing is excellent
Plot Holes/Out of Character:
As I approached the end, I was wondering if Keshav and Shankar's mother's fate was what it appeared to be. It was an open end. I'm glad that the author gave the reader the closure rather than leaving it as it was. Though, it would have worked both ways.
Last Page Sound:
Author Assessment:
I would read more stuff from Amit Majmudar.
Editorial Assessment:
Tightly done.
Did the Book Cover Reflect the Story:
Not so well. It does focus on the opening scene with Keshav and Shankar, but that is just the opening of a sweeping story. A burning map of post-British Pakistan and India would have been a better wrapper for the story.
Song the Story Reminds me of or That Plays in my Head While Reading:
Subdivision by Rush
Hmm Moments:
The moment when the rioters poured the kerosene over the boy and started striking matches.
Knee Jerk Reaction:
really good book, glad I read it
Disposition of Book:
Half Price Book stack
Why isn't there a screenplay?
Could make a great Lifetime movie. Not sure that it would draw enough people to the big screen.
Casting call:
I would see Ben Kingsley in the role of Masud, but I feel that he is too old for the role.
Would love to see Kunal Nayyar stretch beyond comedy in the role of one of the guys on the truck stealing refugee girls away from their families to sell into slavery. Not sure that he can do evil. The only turn where I've seen him try something like that was when he played a garage terrorist on an episode of NCIS, but that was more a cameo than anything where he had to act. Also, not sure which role he would fill, Ayub, Saif, or Qasim. Ayub is a harder core character while Saif is just there. Qasim would be a larger role and more active role with a wider range of emotion.
Would recommend to:
historiophiles, Indiaphiles, those who can't look away from tragedy
A moving book, beautifully written by a poet. I finished it last night and its mood and beauty continue to resonate. Partitions tells of the horrors of 1947 but its three stories or perspectives of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh characters are well-balanced and deeply moving. Majumdar's writing is lyrical, conveys a tender and wrenching tone, and maintaining a profound sense of humanity. He showcases his characters' vulnerablity, strength, and beauty as they struggle to survive the confusion, violence and worst motives of others.
I cannot adequately describe how I did not want the reading pleasure to end, despite the profoundly difficult setting (time and place) of this book.
I'm now on a mission to get ahold of his newly-released Abundance http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15794111-the-abundance.

A stunning first novel, set during the violent 1947 partition of India, about uprooted children and their journeys to safety
As India is rent into two nations, communal violence breaks out on both sides of the new border and streaming hordes of refugees flee from blood and chaos.
At an overrun train station, Shankar and Keshav, twin Hindu boys, lose sight of their mother and join the human mass to go in search of her. A young Sikh girl, Simran Kaur, has run away from her father, who would rather poison his daughter than see her defiled. And Ibrahim Masud, an elderly Muslim doctor driven from the town of his birth, limps toward the new Muslim state of Pakistan, rediscovering on the way his role as a healer. As the displaced face a variety of horrors, this unlikely quartet comes together, defying every rule of self-preservation to forge a future of hope.
A dramatic, luminous story of families and nations broken and formed, Partitions introduces an extraordinary novelist who writes with the force and lyricism of poetry.

The clip released in December for
director Ivan Reitman's No Strings Attached was a little lackluster, which may be why Paramount has decided to release a raunchy, red band trailer for the romantic comedy, which sees Ashton Kutcher and Natalie Portman as two friends who decide to enter into a commitment-less, physical relationship with (hopefully) hilarious consequences (as anyone who has had such a relationship can relate). The trailer includes language, bare butts, and Kevin Kline (not necessarily in that order), so make sure you're in a safe place before watching.
No Strings Attached opens January 21, six months before the similarly-themed Friends With Benefits opens with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis starring instead of Portman and Kutcher (and put out its red band trailer in November).

The following surely appears somewhere, I would greatly appreciate a reference. (The aim is to get a measure via Riesz representation, but that has nothing to do with the statement.)
Let $X$ be an ordered vector space over the reals, and let $\varphi\colon X \to {\mathbf R}$. Then the following are equivalent:
There exists a positive linear functional $\lambda\colon X \to {\mathbf R}$ with $\lambda \leq \varphi$.
Whenever $\sum x_i \geq 0$, also $\sum \varphi(x_i) \geq 0$.

One oversight of mine before I rolled out zimbra was I did not disable AutoArchive. I'm thinking it would make sense to, because I want to centralize all mail to the server -- so I can spend time making the server backups rock solid, instead of dealing with PST files scattered across a bunch of desktops.
Anyway, it turns out to be just a registry setting, but in the HKCU hive:
Disabling the Auto-Archive function in Outlook 2003 :: sanx.org :: Windows the way you want it
...which I find annoying because I haven't figured out a way to *push* out changes. Will I have to rely on a "pull" method like in a login script? What I don't like about login scripts is I have to tell users to logout/login, or I have to wait until they reboot (the next day, or whenever they come back).

You may be wondering why a singles blogger is blogging about reality television. Well, it's because she has not had a date since last week with recycled man. Not worth mentioning and by not worth mentioning of course I mean he turned out to be horrible and I want to be lady so we'll go to the safety of television and not discuss the time I spent with a pig. If I weren't a vegetarian already I would become kosher because pig is just not working for me anymore..
Dancing With The Stars on ABC - I simply cannot understand how it is that America decided to keep Aaron Carter in the competition. He is painful to watch and must go home. I once went on a date with a ballroom dancer. He was so pretty and over the top metro-sexual that I felt like I was in competition with him for his attention. Reality check: never date a man who uses more hair product than you do.
So You Think You Can Dance on FOX - I think Catt is an interesting bird. I can't see any obvious talent but I like her and the dancers are amazing. I love to dance. My favorite dancing takes place in the kitchen while I make dinner with Michael Buble playing in the background. Reality check: one day my son will go in the kitchen, grab his wife, hold her close, spin her around, give her a kiss and go back to watching the game. At that exact moment she will look at him with pure love in her eyes. He will call me after dinner and tell me he remembers when he was young and we used to dance in the kitchen.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta on BRAVO. There is no way I could possibly love these women more. I cannot believe that the word real can be used in any way to describe this show. I want to be a housewife who hangs out with crazy friends all day, shops and drums up drama. By I want to be one of course I mean that you could not pay me to hang out with these women and by not paying me of course I mean I would do it for free. Reality check: I am perfectly fine being a happy non-housewife of Sherman Oaks..
The Amazing Race on CBS. This week when the poor Jewish kid got kicked off it was sad. Zev and Justin were a cute pair who knew each other from summer camp when they were kids. They came in first then were disqualified because Zev lost his passport and Justin said it could have been him who lost it. It was sweet and charming and so menschy that I am not ashamed to tell you all that I cried. Reality check: summer camp is a defining time in a child's life and I will never again complain about how much money it costs. By never again of course I mean not until next summer. I want to go on Amazing Race and have my partner be a blind date. We could totally fall in love while criss-crossing the globe.
Sometimes it takes a little reality television to suspend your own reality. I am a strong believer in recycling but I don't think I will apply the theory to men anymore. It was a disappointing outcome but I'll be fine. Life is blessed and I have mastered the ability to keep the faith.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The Strathclyde-Briton people of ancient Scotland were the first to use the name Tennant. It is a name for someone who works as a tenant farmer. The name was applied to those who paid for the rent on their land through working the fields and donating a percentage of the take to the landlord.
The surname Tennant was first found in Linlithgowshire (Gaelic: Lodainn an Iar), former county in south-central Scotland, now the Council Area West Lothian, where they held a family seat at Crestone or Creston from about the year 1150 A.D.
Before the printing press standardized spelling in the last few hundred years, no general rules existed in the English language. Spelling variations in Scottish names from the Middle Ages are common even within a single document. Tennant has been spelled Tennant, tenant, Tennand, Tennan, Tenman, Tennend, Tennent, Tenand and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Tennant research. Another 215 words (15 lines of text) covering the years 1296, 1320, 1339, 1366, 1644, and 1649 are included under the topic Early Tennant History in all our PDF Extended History products.
More information is included under the topic Early Tennant Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the Tennant family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 227 words (16 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
For Scottish immigrants, the great expense of travel to North America did not seem such a problem in those unstable times. Acres of land awaited them and many got the chance to fight for their freedom in the American War of Independence. These Scots and their ancestors went on to play important roles in the forging of the great nations of the United States and Canada. Among them:
Tennant Settlers in United States in the 17th Century
Tennant Settlers in United States in the 18th Century
Tennant Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Tennant Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
Tennant Settlers in Canada in the 19th Century
Tennant Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
Tennant Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Plena Dabit Deus Vela
Motto Translation: God will fill our sails.
The Tennant Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Tennant Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

At this point, Eagles should bench entire secondary
November 27, 2012, 3:20 pm
It's time to send a message to this secondary, send a message to this team, send a message to the fans, send a message to everybody that what we saw Monday night, what we've seen the past couple months, is unacceptable.
It's one thing to say it. It's another to do something about it. And it's time for Andy Reid to make a statement that gross football negligence will no longer be tolerated, that leaving receivers and tight ends criminally wide open snap after snap, game after game, will no longer be tolerated.
This Eagles team certainly has a lot of major issues, a lot of glaring weaknesses. The offensive line is banged up and sputtering along, the defensive line is underachieving, the receivers are struggling, the linebackers have regressed, the quarterbacks haven't done anything special for weeks.
But nothing has been as embarrassing, as pitiful, as hopeless as the play of the Eagles' secondary.
They have simply stopped playing.
They have simply stopped covering people.
They have simply stopped competing.
Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie are both former Pro Bowl corners. Nate Allen is a second-round pick who had an auspicious rookie year before he got hurt. Kurt Coleman is a late-round effort guy who isn't the biggest or fastest but brings energy and attitude.
Put 'em all together and you have a living, breathing defensive backfield catastrophe.
The Eagles are in uncharted waters when it comes to pass coverage.
Five weeks in a row now, a quarterback has done this against the Eagles: Complete at least 64 percent of his passes, throw two or more touchdowns, throw zero interceptions and pass for 200 yards.
Five weeks in a row now, a quarterback has had a passer rating of 120 or higher against the Eagles.
Only one other NFL team in history – the 1984 Vikings – can claim those nightmarish accomplishments.
Five weeks in a row now, the Eagles' secondary has looked like an unprepared, undisciplined, overmatched, disinterested mess.
Asomugha, who arrived here with such huge expectations, looks lost. Rodgers-Cromartie, so brilliant in the preseason and the first few weeks, has dwindled down into nothingness. Allen seems to have mastered the art of running around in odd, random directions that have little to do with the play the other team has called. And Coleman … he's trying, but he's just not good enough.
There's only one thing Reid and Todd Bowles can do at this point.
Bench the entire secondary.
Make a statement. Send a message. Hold people accountable.
Will it turn the season around? No.
Will it send the Eagles to the playoffs? Of course not.
But at this point, at 3-8 with a seven-game losing streak and grotesque pass defense numbers being generated week after week after week, something has to change or the young guys on this team who are still playing hard, still fighting, the young guys who have to be part of this team's future, will start believing that ineptitude and incompetence are acceptable around here.
Bench 'em all.
Nnamdi sits. DRC sits. Allen and Coleman sit.
Let's get a nice long look at second-year third-round pick Curtis Marsh and rookie Brandon Boykin at corner. Brandon Hughes can play the slot. Somebody. Anybody.
Let's get Dave Sims on the field at one of the safeties. He might not be Dawk out there, but he's got some edge to his game, some toughness this defense desperately needs.
And Colt Anderson is best suited to be solely a special teams player – and he's a terrific one – but he is a safety by trade and although he might be overmatched playing defense coming off an ACL, honestly, at least he'll go out there and fight and battle.
So there's your secondary starting Sunday in Dallas.
Nnamdi, DRC, Allen and Coleman sit.
Marsh, Boykin, Sims and Anderson play.
For the record, head coach Andy Reid said at his Tuesday presser that he has no plans at the moment to bench anybody, including his entire starting defensive backfield. He said he's looked at all that and decided to stick with the status quo.
The status quo that in the last nine games has allowed 19 touchdown passes and intercepted two passes.
The status quo that has allowed five straight quarterbacks fashion a passer rating of 120 or higher.
The status quo that is embarrassing the Eagles' uniform on a daily basis.
Will a mass benching help?
Who knows. At least we'll see four guys who are hungry, four guys who will play hard for 60 minutes, four guys who will at least try to play the right coverage.
They might make mistakes and get beat and give up touchdowns, but at least we'll see some young kids who have some fire and energy and desire.
Things the current group just doesn't have.

a little late to be benching the secondary this late into the season with a lame duck coach. . . .
He should have benched Vick for a little while earlier in the season when the turnovers kept coming from him. . .not doing that is what set the attitude that terrible play is tolerated here.
Coleman should have been benched for all the missed tackles. . .subtle messages could have and should have been sent but AR doesn't do that as he coddles his players too much. . .always has. . .that's why these guys think they are better than their record is. If they truly believe that they need to go prove it and quit talking.

Anderson is a great ST player, but absolutely stinks out there playing safety. He's on the team due to his ST play, so it's not like we need to evaluate him in a starting role.

I don't consider My logic makes him a one trick pony.
Whilst he has not won a WDC since leaving Benetton he has managed to win a considerable amount of races with an inferior car. Something Seb has yet to achieve. I am not saying he won't but until he leaves RBR and Newey we won't know for sure.

LAPEER, MICHIGAN -- I had bought four new Michelin tires, over ($1,200). Had to return to have them rebalanced. I returned after approximately 5,000 miles for free tire rotation and balance since I was taking a trip, and unfortunately told the salesman that. Salesman called and said that due to the very poor lug nut design I had a bad lug nut. These lug nuts will knawel if you are careless or are trying to do a NASCAR tire change as I had formerly damaged one myself. He said that I had to buy 5 lug nuts to complete the job. I told him when I had the tires installed, they replaced one lug for $9.18 and that I only would pay for one as they were all ok prior to today.
He agreed to this but then stated he knew I was going on a long trip as I had mentioned, and that I only had 2% wear left on the rear brake pads, offered a $350 rear brake job pushing lifetime guaranteed pads, and said it would not be safe to take a trip with the rear brakes in their condition. I declined, picked up the truck and paid for the $9 lug nut their mechanic damaged.
The next day I had my longtime and trusted mechanic check all four brakes and related what I was told about the rear brakes. He reported that I had about 10,000 miles wear left on the rear brakes, and to take my trip, and not to worry about it. He said bring the truck back after 10,000 miles and he would recheck them.
I also noted a thank you email from Belle Tire and offered me a survey of my visit with them, which I took. I noted / complained about paying for a lug nut they damaged, and for their fraudulent attempt to sell me a brake job that I didn't need as well as having to waste my time having my trusted mechanic recheck. I also noted I no longer trusted them and felt that I should had been treated better after spending over $2,200 with their store over the past approx. 1 1/2 years. Had also to take the wife's car back to them with a rim leak, and that it was frustrating having to go back for rebalance and tire leak after their original services.
The manager of the Lapeer store emailed me the next day. His email was worded in a courteous manner, however he indicated that his mechanic would not have been wrong about the 2% wear left on the now inner brake pad, and suggested my mechanic was just trying to save me money. He said it would be dangerous to take a trip. He also reflected on his assistant manager (who waited on me) stating that Chrysler cares more about the looks of my lug nut than their durability and suggested that I should replace all 20, at a reduced price (always trying to sell you something).
2 days later my buddy called. I had originally told him that I loved the tires and was so glad to have had them put on the truck. He bought the same tires from Belle Tire and he had to return to them for a rim leak on his GMC Truck. I took him to breakfast while waiting for his rim leak to be repaired. The same assistant manager called him at the restaurant and tried to sell him new shocks because his truck had just over 50,000 mile on it??? And that they were offering a 20%discount... He declined, of course. Belle Tire, can you just do the job right the first time and do the free promised rotation and balance without trying to sell me parts and services I don't need?
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, MICHIGAN -- My tires were wearing strangely with the edges getting lumpy. Went to Belle Tire where I had purchased. Manager took me out to my car up on the hoist and told me I need to replace all suspension components ~ $700. He specifically said "just because the struts are not leaking does not mean that they do not need replacing" and that he could tell that they were bad by the wear on the tires. I said "thanks it may be under warranty" and left. When I went to a Tire store in Lapeer the mechanic said my front end was out of alignment causing the uneven wear on the tires. So he did the alignment for $45.
ANYWHERE, MICHIGAN -- I have been a customer at Belle Tire for over 20 years, I see what they do for consumers and how much they care. I have seen it personally where the employee's go over and above without any pat on the backs. Example, it was a couple years ago I was waiting to get my car fix, they stayed after closing hours to get it done for me. While I was waiting a family came pulling on the door because they had a flat tire, it was the weekend and nobody else was open. The guy let them in opened a bay door, pulled their car in and fixed their tire.
All this time I was thinking to myself, "wow, that is pretty amazing" but the worst part of the whole thing is, when done the family didn't say thanks or nothing!!! Even when the salesman didn't charge them a cent!! The family was thinking it was his job or something, no gratitude whatsoever!! I felt so bad for the employee's that I returned the following Monday with donuts, I wanted them to know that I do appreciate them and not all people are selfish and rude like the family they "saved". Thank you Belle Tire.
ROYAL OAK, MICHIGAN -- Do not go to Bell Tire if you care about your car or your safety!!! I brought my car in for them to check when it was hiccuping and jolting strangely. I knew nothing about cars and trusted them to diagnose and take care of it. They looked it over and gave a diagnosis. They charged me $450 to change plugs and wires that they quoted, then another $75 to turn off my check engine light, which they simply added on without asking me prior. They didn't check the oil before resting the light. Within 5 days my engine blew.
Apparently because of two errors on their part, as I have learned since: Gas got into my oil when the car was misfiring causing poor viscosity and the oil was low. The combination blew my lifter, thus my engine. When I came back to this location complaining that they turned off the light and didn't check the oil, they towed my car to their "friendly trans shop" with the Bell guys, manager included, all saying it "sounded like the transmission" to them. Their trans shop agreed with my other two diagnoses, blown lifter due to low oil and gas in oil. I'm a single mom, working 3 jobs and a grad student and they wouldn't take any responsibility.
I'm basically broke and this was a very big deal for me and my little boy. I had to sell my car on Craigslist "as is with blown engine", 5K less than it was worth prior to Bell touching it, and borrow down payment money to lease another car. This was after spending almost 2K at Bell Tire earlier in the month on Ball Joints, U-Joints, and then plugs +. I feel very used and thrown to the curb by their neglect and lack of accountability when I trusted them with the smallest detail of checking the oil.
Thanks for absolutely nothing Bell Tire, when I asked you to take responsibility for your mistake and you have insurance for errors like this. Shame on you guys, you took advantage of a single mom who trusted you, knowing very little about cars. All potential customers consider your self-forewarned, this could be you.
TAYLOR, MICHIGAN -- Let me start off with I have been going to this business around 17 years for all my vehicles needs. I bought a set of Toyo open country tires for my truck from them and also had an alignment done at the same time. After they were installed and I left the parking lot I immediately noticed the truck was extremely difficult to drive and maintain lanes. I went home (around 3 miles away) and checked the tire pressures and the front tires were 28 and 30 pounds (way under pressure) and the rear tires were at 82 and 84 pounds (way over pressure). I then called the Belle Tire and explained what happened and they said bring it back.
In my driveway I personally inflated the tires to the correct pressure front and back. I went to drive the truck again and my truck felt like it was on ice or driving on a bed of marbles. I could not control the truck properly. I then took the truck back to Belle Tire Taylor and Rick (the manager) took my vehicle for a drive and came back and pulled it directly into the alignment bay. It stayed there for about 15 minutes and then RICK came out to the waiting room to tell me he thought the truck drove fine. Then Rick decided to tell me I need new shocks.
So I left the business and ordered BILLSTEIN SHOCKS (top of the line shocks)for all 4 shocks plus I ordered a new BILLSTEIN steering damper shock. I installed all 5 shocks and the truck still was all over the road. Mind you my truck handled perfect before the new tires were installed. I took the truck back up to Belle Tire Taylor and told RICK I wanted to get new tires installed under the TOYO 500-mile 45-day guarantee. I knew it was a bad set of tires but Rick kept telling me its not the Toyo tires - he has sold thousands of tires with no problems. We got into a small argument and I left the store.
I drove down to Belle Tire Southgate and explained the situation to the assistant manager RICK and they warranted all 4 tires with no problems. I got all new tires put on the truck at no cost to me. I thanked the assistant manager Rick and drove the truck home. The truck drove perfect as soon as the new tires were installed. No weaving or swaying. Now I will give all my business to the Belle tire in Southgate Michigan. I have 3 vehicles that Belle Tire Taylor will never see again. The Taylor stores sales people have all been nice and courteous to me except RICK (the manager). Thanks to Rick he lost all my business.
JACKSON -- About two years ago I purchased two front tires for my Chevy truck and had an alignment done at the same time. The drivers side front tire had worn very much on the inside and this concerned me as I also noticed a bumping noise from the drivers side front when driving. I took my truck to the Belle tire store where I purchased the tires and explained the problem to a man at the front desk. I should mention the passenger side front tire did not show the same wear problem. The man at the front desk said they would be happy to check the alignment and tire.
They did and the man from the front desk told me the alignment was off but not enough to be a problem and that the extreme wear was caused by not rotating the tires. I was also told that as my truck was a 4 wheel drive they could only sell me a set of four tires. I did not have the money for four new tires so I left the store. When I got home I decided to rotate the two front tires. When I removed the tire I had complained to Belle tire about it had two bulbs on it and the cords were showing through.
My complaint is that if Belle tire did inspect the tire and check the alignment why was I not informed of the unsafe condition of the driver side front tire. Myself and my family's safety was endangered due to their lying or their failure to do what they said they did. This is not over, I am going to return to Belle tire with the tire in question and see what their reaction to this problem will be. I will return here and describe what happens.
Belle tire acted quickly and resolved the issue I had with them Good company, will buy more tires there.
Good Morning,
Thank you for bringing your recent experience to our attention.
I would like to review your invoice with our team and follow up with you. Could you please send an email with the name and phone number associated with your account to firstname.lastname@example.com?
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look forward to working with you to resolve this issue.

MT PLEASANT, MICHIGAN -- Hit a piece of steel on I-75 and took out a rear tire on my 2013 Honda Accord. Stopped in Mt. Pleasant and purchased 4 new tires - stayed in Mt. Pleasant that night. Driving home (Petoskey, MI) noticed a significant vibration of the freeway. I stopped and checked the lug nuts. It was so bad - thought I might have a loose wheel. When I bought the tires I waited my turn. Took the car back the 140 miles the following Saturday to have the balance checked (which I have NEVER had to do before, and at 59 I have purchased over 20 sets of tires). Was told they were busy and I'd have a 2 - 3 hour wait before they could get to me.
Free lifetime rotation and balance? Also have tires from Belle on my F-350. Stopped in TC one day to have tires rotated and they told me hours and hours before they could get to it. Belle Tire has a very poor customer relations policy.
HASLETT, MICHIGAN -- Needed rear tires on '06 GTO with custom wheels. Wash car regularly and no scratches on rear wheels before taking to Belle Tire for new tires. After when washing car, noticed several scratches on rear wheels. Manager stated not sure if they did it. Told him no scratches before but after getting new tires they appeared. He agreed to have wheels fixed. If anyone has custom wheels, go to value tire, they have a special machine to install tires on custom wheels. (found this out after the fact). They do various car clubs tires. Belle Tire has lost my business.
DEARBORN, MI -- Contacted Belle Tire in Dearborn to get a quote on 2 new tires for my F150 4x4, after receiving a better price than everyone else, I chose them. What a mistake, went to their location and ended up dealing with their manager Ash, thinking I was all good. He comes out and tells me I need 4 new tires due to a 3/32" difference in tread and that I could possibly have issues and sue over transmission problems, which I could understand on an all-wheel-drive vehicle, but not a 4x4 where you have the option to turn off the system.
They give you the best price to get you in the door and then GOUGE your pocketbook. When contacting HQ, they informed me this WAS indeed a policy, lol. Why are customers not told this when quoted over the phone?? And they still wanted to sell me tires. Businesses like this is why our economy sucks!!!
MADISON HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN -- My second time visiting this store for tires and alignment. They are friendly and fast, my car Sat home all weekend after I visited the store Friday... walk out near the car to take trash out and notice some of the lug nuts (5 out of the 20) way off of the studs (literally on the last thread)... I'm 2 weeks away from making a 1,600 mile round trip to Mississippi and don't think I have to be going over their work like this after I pay them to do it properly.
If I didn't notice this and had a wheel fall off on the freeway potentially causing a major accident, they would have quite a lawsuit on their hands. So if you are going to visit a tire shop, make sure your wheels are on all the way after leaving... you could be in for a surprise that you definitely don't want to happen.

New Mass Effect Game Being Developed in BioWare Montreal, Will Use Frostbite 2
BioWare has confirmed that new Mass Effect game they're making will use Frostbite 2!
We already know that BioWare is making a new game in the Mass Effect franchise. Heck, the series' executive producer even went on Twitter to ask fans what they want to see next.
Now, though, BioWare has taken to their official blog to announce that BioWare Montreal is working on a new Mass Effect game and for the first time, they'll be using the Frostbite 2 as its game engine.
So, just who is BioWare Montreal and is the Mass Effect brand in good hands with them? In the blog post, BioWare Montreal Studio Director Yanick Roy commented on the contributions they've done for the Mass Effect franchise. They did about half of the cinematics for Mass Effect 2, as well as most of the game's N7 Missions. For Mass Effect 3, they "took charge" of the game's multiplayer, and as well as making "significant contributions" to the main campaign. Also, BioWare Monteal is the studio behind the upcoming ME3 single-player DLC "Omega," which will see release on November 27.
Here are a few key parts of Roy's post.
To ensure a proper and effective transition, we'll continue to be supported by the Edmonton studio through the game's development, working with and learning from them on some critical initiatives. On top of that, Casey remains the Executive Producer, but he will have a Project Director under him, working in Montreal, leading our development team and making day-to-day decisions for the game. We all care very much about Mass Effect and make our decisions based on what's best for the game.
There is really not much I can tell you about the game right now, except that it will be built with the amazing technology of Frostbite as its foundation, enhanced by many of the systems that the Dragon Age III team has already spent a lot of time building.
The other thing I can tell you is that, while it will be very respectful of the heritage built over the course of the first three games, with the original trilogy now concluded and the switch over to a new engine, we are exploring new directions, both on the gameplay and story fronts. You can still expect the pillars the franchise is known for to be fully intact though, including diverse alien races, a huge galaxy to explore, and of course rich, cinematic storytelling.
It seems this new Mass Effect game is in good hands, no? For those not familiar with Frostbite 2, it's a game engine made by the tech wizards at DICE (Battlefield) over in Sweden and is now being used for a lot of EA's games. Most recently, it's been used for Danger Close's Medal of Honor Warfighter and will be used for Visceral Games' Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel.
Seeing as BioWare is in the early stages of development, I assume this new Mass Effect game will be for next-gen platforms. If so, that bodes well for the game engine, since current-gen games seems to have a hard time running it properly…at least from what I've experienced.
Are you happy that the new Mass Effect game is being built on Frostbite 2 or is this a cause for concern?

I noticed my backup partition was full and i decided to blow it away and start with new/clean formatted partition. (only had a few days on disk and yesterdays nightly to tape is still on hand)
as zimbra:
zmbackup -f -a all
Process starts, it shows the new full dataset with zmbackupquery. i see it going through accounts. Shortly after, maybe 10-20 accounts, it stops.
Is there anything i need to do before starting from scratch with a new backup partition?

Blair is known around the G4 offices as the "Comics Guru".
Blair is very vocal and frequently blames the fall of comic books in the 90s on people like comic artist Rob Liefeld - Artists who created comic characters with no ankles and had women characters as being more sexual than character driven.
Butler was one of the performers at the 2004 re-opening of the Purple Onion comedy club in San Francisco, California. The Purple Onion was one of the clubs frequented by controversial comic Lenny Bruce and claims to be the place that Phyllis Diller first performed.

Blair: I'm like a paid regular at the Comedy Store. My name is painted on the wall, in the back, near the gutter, I think right below Howie Mandel's. But still it's nice.
Blair: Sure Dance Dance Revolution looks like fun, but where are the zombies?
Blair: In Psi-Ops, you can make the guys with shotguns commit suicide when you possess them. Gnarly.
Blair: No Superheroes should wear orange. Orange is a horrible color, when you're saving people.
Blair: I think there's a sort of weird symbiotic relationship with Hollywood right now. Comic books, the way they're laid out, that visual medium, they're so conducive to, admittedly, horrible movies.

Mike Wallace is clearly comfortable, off the field, in his new surroundings. He's confident enough in the locker room to speak out whenever he thinks the coaching staff is missing something (which is whenever the coaching staff isn't feeding him the ball on every throw). On the field, however, the comfort with QB Ryan Tannehill isn't there and consistent production is nowhere to be found.
After week one, Wallace was vocal in his criticism of a game plan that saw him on the receiving end of just five pass attempts from Tannehill with just one catch. The following game, his looks went up significantly. This week, he's concerned that the team isn't taking enough deep shots in his direction, so should we expect the team to start feeding him the ball over the top? Not according to OC Mike Sherman or to the numbers to date. Admittedly Wallace's one word response to a direct question isn't all that inflammatory, but it does show that he thinks the team could be using him more effectively. The problem: he's been far from effective on deep passes to date.
The folks at Pro Football Focus do a great job of compiling metrics on many different elements of the game, but, they like to be compensated for their work and the data is behind a pay wall… so, allow me to summarize.
Of plays who have received more then 25% of their targets on deep balls (attempts of greater than 20 yards) Wallace ranks 30/33 in effectiveness. He has caught just one of the seven deep passes thrown his way (for 34 yards), and added a dropped pass, for a catch rate of 14.3%. Those seven deep targets through four weeks are the 14th most in the league, so it isn't as if the Dolphins won't look his way down field. The challenge is that he isn't catching the ball when the opportunities are there. Some of that is on the receiver, some rests with the quarterback, but it clearly isn't working for the Dolphins and that's why you won't see Joe Philbin's team chucking it up just because the receiver called for it.
Fellow receiver Brian Hartline has just two looks deep, but has caught both of them. Beyond that, Tannehill is a more effective passer when throwing to Hartline. In fact, the duo has the 12th highest QB Rating in the league when working together.
On 30 throws targeting Hartline this season Tannehill has 21 completions for 272 yards, two touchdowns and an interception for a rating of 106.5. He has passed to Wallace 28 times for 15 catches, 176 yards, one touchdown and two picks; a rating of 55.1. While the number is an imperfect measure, it's clear that things have gone much better for the Dolphins when they're throwing in Hartline's direction than in Wallace's. Much of that can be attributed to chemistry and the fact that one player has played 20 games with the QB while the other is new to town, but until it becomes clear that Wallace and Tannehill are on the same page, the unheralded Hartline is the more compelling fantasy option.

The Bachelor
Bachelor Alumni Strip Down In New "Hot Bodies" Photoshoot!
If there's one thing we've learned from an entire decade of watching The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor Pad, it's that we'll never look as good as the contestants. All of these guys and dolls are blessed with perfect bodies, and meanwhile we're just like "nom, nom, nom, pass the pizza." Such is life.
There's no denying that at least half of The Bachelor's viewership are people who want to gaze longingly at half-naked singletons (see: everyone who watched Sean Lowe's season), and Us Weekly is finally giving the people what they want. An entire spread of bikini-clad hotties from Bachelor Nation!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Us Weekly's "Hot Bodies" shoot, which features none other than Jesse Kovacs (Bachelorette 5 and Bachelor Pad), Kiptyn Locke (Bachelorette 5 and Bachelor Pad), Graham "Hot Buns" Bunn (Bachelorette 4 and Bachelor Pad), Lindsay Yenter (Bachelor 17), Selma Alameri (Bachelor 17) and Nick Peterson (Bachelorette 7 and Bachelor Pad 3).
Judging from Selma's collage skills, the entire Bachelor Nation whack pack had a fabulous time showing off their ample assets and lovely lady lumps, and we can't wait to feast our eyes on the final pics in Us Weekly!

Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim has bought out US telephone operator AT&Ts $5.6 billion stake in telecommunications firm America Movil, the companies have announced.
The acquisition of AT&Ts shares in the company represent 8.27% of America Movils capital stock, according to a company statement. Upon consummation of the transaction authorised today by the board of directors, AT&T will no longer be a shareholder of America Movil, it added.
The transaction involved selling all of AT&Ts 72,822,656 Series L shares of America Movil and its 5,739,341,928 Series AA shares of the company to Slims holding company Inmobiliaria Carso. AT&T had gradually reduced its stake in America Movil in recent years.
Last year, the American group sold more than 1.5 million shares. The latest operation comes as AT&T seeks to acquire satellite television operator DirecTV for $48.5 billion. The tie-up announced in May would create a potent rival to cable TV giant Comcast, which, itself, hopes to expand its coverage with the pending takeover of Time Warner Cable.

1953 Ford F-100 - Delayed DreamWritten on August 12, 2002 This F-100 is twice as nice the second time around
At some point in our lives we're all limited by the amount of money (or lack thereof) in our bank accounts. In such situations, we usually have two options: Go without the things we want, or settle for something a little less spendy. Maybe we end up buying a Honda instead of a Harley. Or a trusty ol' Timex instead of a Rolex. But when we settle for less, it seems there's always a part of us that pines for something more.
Keith Ward was in that sort of predicament more than a decade ago when he picked up this '53 F-100. "I first bought this truck in 1985 with the intention of building it like the ones I read about in magazines," Keith says. "But my budget only allowed me to build it pretty much stock." Still, owning a restored F-100 is a pretty cool experience. Keith and his wife Valerie had plenty of fun driving and showing the truck for 10 years, but the dream of owning a tricked-out Effie never left Keith's mind. That desire was re-ignited with new intensity when the F-100 was stolen from a friend's shop a few years ago. "I promised myself if it was recovered I would build it the way I really wanted," Keith says. As luck would have it the truck was recovered, and Keith was quick to make good on his promise.
With help from friends Grey Brantley, Al Angilello, Mark Richardson, and Mark Harvell, Keith began disassembling his truck for the second time. But he was very careful about it this time around. Remember, the F-100 had led a fairly pampered life as a restoration, which meant the body and paint were still in good shape. Keith figured it would be easier (and more affordable) to save and retain the existing paint job, so the utmost of care was used during teardown and reassembly.
Once the cab and other body parts were safely set aside, Keith sent the frame to Jeff Parlow at Palm Coast Rod & Custom. Jeff cured Keith's straight-axle blues by installing a Heidt's Superide IFS, complete with polished stainless control arms and coilovers. Then he suspended a 9-inch rearend using two more coilovers and a four-link setup, and placed Wilwood disc brakes on all four corners. Plenty of polish and powdercoating made the chassis look great, while Billet Specialties wheels and Sumitomo rubber got it rolling.
Jeff set the chassis up for small-block Chevy power, and even recessed the firewall so the ZZ4 crate engine could be set back a few inches. While this was happening, Keith got some assistance from Bill Clark in breathing a little more life into the stout small block before dressing it to the nines with billet brightwork, a polished Edelbrock intake and coated Sanderson headers. Then a 700-R4 automatic was bolted in place, providing the convenience of overdrive.
With the chassis finished, Keith and his buddies from the Road Runners club took the utmost care in re-assembling the body on the frame. The new suspension required some alteration to the stock inner fender wells, but Jeff expertly painted them to match the rest of the body. Everything else remains as painted by Mark Osteen in 1988, with the exception of the smoothed and filled dash. The balance of the interior received an overhaul as well, with new amenities like Dakota Digital gauges, an ididit tilt column, Vintage Air climate controls, and a killer stereo by Dave and Bob Gilliam of DG Car Audio. Then Bobby Mann at Bobby's Upholstery wrapped things up by stitching supple Goldenrod-colored leather over the stock seat, custom door panels and sculpted headliner.
It took some time, but Keith Ward finally got the F-100 of his dreams. And judging by the smile we saw on his face, he definitely prefers the tricked-out cruiser he has now to the restored stocker he drove for 10 years. It just goes to show that settling for less in the short term doesn't mean you have to give up your dream forever.

What does a plaintiff need to prove to prevail in a product liability claim?
Product liability plaintiffs need to prove certain elements to prevail in making their claims. Just what are those requisite elements a product liability litigant must prove? The answer depends on the state in which the plaintiff intends to sue. The answer also depends on which theory of recovery plaintiff chooses to pursue in his or her product liability lawsuit. The primary recovery theories (or bases for legal liability) in product liability litigation include the following:
- Negligence
- Tortious misrepresentation
- Warranty breach
- Strict liability in tort
Plaintiffs making strict liability claims must prove several elements, not establish fault
Most product liability suits are based upon the theory of strict liability, as opposed to negligence. What is strict liability? Strict liability cases do not require a plaintiff to establish fault on the part of the defendant. Instead, a plaintiff seeking to make a strict liability claim must establish only that a product was defective in nature and quality, that the product injured the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff's injury was indeed a by-product or end result of the product's defective quality and nature.
Plaintiff pursuing negligence must prove a few more elements than required for strict liability
Negligence, a type of tort, occupies a central role in product liability jurisprudence. For a plaintiff to recover under a negligence theory of liability, he or she must establish the following things:
- The manufacturer owed a duty to the plaintiff.
- The manufacturer breached its owed duty to the plaintiff.
- The breach of the manufacturer's duty was the actual cause of the plaintiff's injury.
- The breach of the manufacturer's duty was the proximate cause of the plaintiff's injury.
- The plaintiff sustained actual damages due to the manufacturer's negligent conduct.
In product liability suits, there is an expectation and legal requirement that a manufacturer practice a reasonable standard of care. That standard is set for those parties considered experts in manufacturing of a given class of products. Even if a plaintiff establishes that a manufacturer does not practice the requisite standard of care, that party is not able to recover against the manufacturer until both types of causation are proved. Those two types of causation are actual and proximate. The plaintiff must prove that but for the manufacturer's negligent conduct, the plaintiff's injuries would not have happened. The plaintiff must also establish that the manufacturer could have foreseen risks of injury and harm and uses of the product by the plaintiff. The manufacturer must have been able to foresee those things at the time of manufacturing.
Tortious misrepresentation and breach of warranty claims
Tortious misrepresentation claims in product liability are founded upon false or misleading information communicated by the product's manufacturer. The false communication forms the crux of this basis for recovery, as opposed to a product defect. Breach of warranty claims are based upon a seller's guarantees given to a consumer about the quality of a product. The warranty can be express or implied, based upon the nature of the product sale made to the consumer.
The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) has been adopted in all U.S. states. It codifies the basis for American warranties, both express and implied. If you believe you have been injured due to a product defect or a manufacturer's negligence, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty, it is prudent to consult with a product liability attorney.

Chest pain-or stroke signs symptoms-or serious trauma-gets seen immediately
Everything else waits.
I don't "think" they triage based on how much they will make.

Probably they were angry because they were working-hard-handling unpleasant tasks- vomit urine feces blood- at night-and they saw these "poor folks" getting over for free.

Was out on my "road" bike the other day on a group ride with some young brisk riders and ended up with just me and the leader together up front. Kept up OK but had to work a little harder than he was I am sure. But I think I had a specific handicap and it wasn't my platform pedals. I don't think that much of it can be attributed to lack of tight aerodynamic clothing, not bike weight because my bike is CF and in any case the syndrome was this: on a long downhill, my new roadie friend is coasting and pulling away from me whilst I pedal. I have flat bars but was hunkered down. He was in the hoods so our postures were similar. Of course, he is running 23s. I am running 28s which are so much more forgiving of road hazards and chip seal, etc., but it is my thought they hurt me in this particular case.
I do all my own work and can assure you my brakes do not rub. I can't see type of hub bearings making this much difference. The man was bigger and heavier than I am, but, being bigger, should have presented more aerodynamic resistance in proportion to his weight.
Tires are some kind of Bontrager 28s with Spin Skins and were inflated 110 frt, 120 rear.
I guess I will just have to get on EBay or AliBaba and order another CF frame, fork and etc. from China and build my #8 bike to leave permanently set up with 23s.
Or maybe shave my legs?

Hamilton Southeastern (IN) vs. Westerville South: Game 18
Isiah "Zeke" Rogers of Westerville South. (Photo by OHSH)
Game 18 of the Flyin' to the Hoop was everything high school basketball is and should be about.
Westerville South and Hamilton Southeastern (IL) met in an instant classic inside Kettering Fairmont's Trent Arena on Monday night.
The crowd was electric and the atmosphere was all that and more. The players on both teams were scratching, clawing, diving, and laying it all on the line on every possession.
Both teams were making plays and getting timely stops. It was certainly a game for the basketball purest. It was old-school. It was the way the game was meant to be played.
South and Hamilton played 32 minutes, but needed 36 to settle the encounter. The Wildcats of Westerville South remained unbeaten with a dramatic 63-61 overtime win in front of a large turnout.
"For us, at South, this is a big win," said South senior Traevon Jackson. "It's just one game at a time. We came down here with a little chip on our shoulder because obviously Indiana is a great basketball state that has great players."
They got Gary Harris, Zack Irvin, a guy going to Purdue and their role players are even good. This is definitely a big for win for us. We battled through some adversity and got a big win."
It wasn't easy by any means. Hamilton jumped out to a 14-8 lead after one quarter and proceeded to score the first three points of the 2nd to open up a 17-8 advantage which was the biggest lead of the game for either team.
The Wildcats managed to play even in the 2nd quarter trailing 30-24 as the teams went to the locker room.
"We started the game 0-for-13," Jackson lamented. We like to shoot from outside and in the past when we don't shoot well, we don't do very good. We came out in the second half and got some scoring off of our defense."
South's outstanding senior Traevon Jackson was good in the 1st half, but was great in the 2nd. Jackson along with his teammates willed each other to victory. The Wisconsin signeed scored 26 points and added 10 rebounds along with locking down Hamilton Southeastern star junior Gary Harris.
"It's tough you know," Jackson said when asked if he takes a match up with a player like Harris personally. "I know he is one of the top ranked guys. He is a great player. I don't like to take it personally even though it's kind of personal."
I like to think more about what I have to do. I want to focus on how he has to stop me rather than how I can stop him. I know they are going to have trouble stopping me if I play my game. If I help my team out and we play our game as a team we will be fine. That is what we did tonight."
Harris finished with just four points before leaving the game in the 4th quarter with a cut over his eye. He never returned.
Jackson, who has a very high basketball IQ and terrific ability to lead, didn't act alone. Junior Isiah "Zeke" Rogers came up with some huge plays on defense and some key rebounds as did senior Damarkeo Lyshe and sophomore Marcus Ball. Lyshe and senior Jaren Edward both had some big baskets late in the game.
Credit Isiah Rogers for some huge plays without his play this game is up in the air," Jackson believes. "We definitely had some big defensive stops, Marcus had some huge rebounds, and we got the win."
The relentless Wildcat pressure eventually got to the Royals forcing 23 turnovers accounting for 33 points at the other end.
Senior sharp-shooter Ben Jones struggled to find his range, but still managed to score nine points for the winners. Senior Donnie Fitzgerald also came off the bench and gave good minutes along with scoring a big hoop.
Edwards finished with eight points followed by Ball with seven, Rogers added six, and Lyshe chipped in with five counters.
With Harris struggling to find breathing room, highly-regarded sophomore Zack Irvin began to take over for Hamilton. The lengthy 6-foot-5 bundle of talent posted 16 points in defeat.
Josh Dather added 15 points and five boards and Randy Gregory counted for 11 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out. Gregory is a Purdue football verbal.
Interesting to note, South was just 4-of-22 from behind the arc which is far below its usual output.

Having used the community version for quite a while I am migrating to the Network Edition. I am planning to install on vmware esxi4.1, and I am limited to 32bit version. (which I understand will be phased out soon after the 7.0 release.)
I need help choosing the distro. I have been using CentOS5 and I was mostly happy with it. But this seems to be a good opportunity to switch to Ubuntu or SUSE which are less of a fork of the kernel at 2.6.18. Not that there is a lot of stuff I am planning to install on the ZCS vm, but I was told ext4 fs significantly reduces fragmentation and increases vm performance. Can anyone cnfirm this, please?

Scranton Prep boys rolls past Milton
COAL TWP. - Matt Knowles remembers the feeling from the long bus ride home from Shamokin last year.
The senior and his Scranton Prep teammates made certain that this year's trip was a lot more joyous.
Dominating from the outset, the Cavaliers overwhelmed District 4 champion Milton, 69-32, in a Class AAA boys basketball first-round game at Shamokin Area High School.
Knowles led four players in the double figures for Scranton Prep (19-8) with 15 points. James Fives and Tim Rose each added 14 points and Mac Temples finished with 12 points.
"We had a great week of practice. We were waiting for this game the whole week and I think that got us pumped up," Knowles said. "We lost our first state playoff game last year in this same building. We left with a sour taste last year, so we wanted to come and send a message."
Scranton Prep scored the game's first 14 points as it forced Milton to start 0 for 9 from the field with five turnovers. It wasn't until Brandon Rogers completed a three-point play with 56.4 seconds left in the opening quarter that the Black Panthers got on the scoreboard. Knowles responded with a 3-pointer with four seconds left and the Cavaliers led, 17-3, after one quarter.
Message received.
"I'm very proud of our effort," Prep coach Joe Ferguson said. "We jumped out on them real quick, which is what we wanted to do. We wanted them to play at our speed."
Milton (16-10) scored the first five points of the second quarter to close within 17-8. Ferguson quickly called a 30-second timeout.
"He just told us to stay focused," Rose said of his coach's message during the timeout. "He told us that we knew what was going to happen, just go do it."
Which is what the Cavaliers did, scoring the next nine points. Noah Beh hit two foul shots, then caused a steal that led to a Temples layup. Knowles followed with a 3-pointer and Fives nailed a jumper to make it 26-8 with 4:48 left in the second quarter.
Prep shot 14 for 22 from the field in the first half and led at halftime, 39-15.
"They were a lot more athletic than I imagined," Milton coach Steve DeLong said. "They were more aggressive to start. They got to the basket and knocked down some shots. Defensively, their pressure really rattled us. We just never really recovered."
It was much of the same in the second half. Temples scored six points and Fives had four in the third quarter as the Cavaliers extended the margin to 57-22. Their largest lead of the game was 67-28 with 3:20 left in the fourth quarter on a rebound-and-basket by Jerry Walsh.
Overall, Prep shot 48.9 percent (23 for 47) while holding Milton to 25.6 percent (10 for 39) and forcing the Black Panthers to commit 23 turnovers.
In addition to his points, Rose had five rebounds, four assists and two steals. Walsh pulled down seven rebounds and Beh grabbed six.
Michael Jacobs led Milton with 13 points - 10 of which came in the second half.
Scranton Prep advances to the second round against Neumann-Goretti (22-5), which knocked off Bishop McDevitt in its first-round game Friday night.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The Alabama Crimson Tide football team worked for two hours Wednesday afternoon in preparation for Saturday's nationally televised (ABC Sports) with the No. 2 ranked Oklahoma Sooners.
The Crimson Tide worked in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts continuing to fine tune its game plan for the Sooners.
"We had pretty good work today," Alabama head coach Dennis Franchione said. "It was a lot more like wanted today as compared to yesterday. We were not as sharp (Tuesday). It was a typical Tuesday practice with the daily grind and full pads.
"The first week after a game is a little more challenging because you work on a gameplan in just a few days. Prior to the first game, you get to go over something two of three times, where now we have to cover everything in Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with heavy review on Friday."
Alabama will hold its final Tuscaloosa practice on Thursday before heading to Norman, Okla., on Friday afternoon. The team will hold a light workout Friday afternoon at Memorial Stadium, which will be closed to everyone, including the media.

2015 Budget Request: Defense Department
President Obama's fiscal 2015 budget proposal requests $495.6 billion in base funding for the Defense Department.
That number includes $147.6 billion for the Navy, $137.7 billion for the Air Force and $120.3 billion for the Army.
The proposed base funding would be $4 million less than the fiscal 2014 enacted level, a budget overview (.pdf) shows.
The budget proposal also includes $198.7 billion for operations and maintenance, $135.2 billion for military personnel, $5.4 billion for military construction and $63.5 billion for research, development, testing and evaluation.
For fiscal 2015, the budget recommends a 1 percent raise in basic pay for military personnel.
"The fiscal 2015 budget seeks to repair the damage caused by the deep spending cuts imposed by sequestration," the Defense Department said in a March 4 statement. "Readiness was most adversely affected and money from the budget act above sequestration levels is earmarked for readiness accounts across the services."
The proposal recommends slowing the growth of housing allowances from 100 percent to 95 percent, and no longer reimbursing for renter's insurance.
It also recommends reducing the direct subsidy provided to military commissaries – where military families can buy low-cost goods – by $1 billion down to $1.4 billion over three years. But no commissaries will be shut down.
