This'll be tedious –
I know
you have a hard time
making up your mind
I drag myself to the sports store
For the eighth year in a row
I used to pick and choose
What you'd wear on your feet
To school
"These are cool" I say
Noting the reasonable price-tag
"These seem light and comfortable"
when the very washable mesh fabric and darker design
Catch my eye
But this year you're drawn
To black with yellow piping
Crazy combination
"You'll grow tired of these fast" I mutter
You try them on
Even have your dad tie them for you
Even now…
Big boy with long legs
You jump to your feet, bounce in place
Feeling the cushion, the give, the flexibility
Things I must learn to be –
You pretend to run around the shop
Testing how swiftly you'll run
As I watch your feet grow at heart-pulling speed
Bilingual thoughts on life, language, learning, and all things Latina.

When I have too much to say, I have no listener. It becomes immensely difficult for a talkative me to keep my thoughts to myself. I have to express it and this happens to be an ideal platform for me to do so.
Happy b'day doordarshan...
Year 1990: It was a sunday. 5 year old gaya3 did not know what malaa dee ad was all about. She innocently sang the mala dee garb nirodak golis jingle when a guest asked her to narrate a poem. Her embarassed parents took her to bedroom and told her to narrate baba black sheep the next time someone asks her to narrate a POEM.
Year 1992: It was a sunday. 7 year old gaya3 cried and threw her compass box at her brother because she was forced to go for Balvikas (a moral science class meant for kids) when Potli baba kii kahani and Jungle Book was aired. She loved watching Jungle book, but her parents wanted her to become a good human being and not a female Mowgli.
Year 1993: It was a sunday. 8 year old gaya3 was super excited because her bhai had tuned DD Metro in their TV set, DD metro was more fascinating and more entertaining than DD1. She started watching Junoon without fail every week.
Year 1995: It was a sunday. 10 year old gaya3 was surprised to see more channels being tuned in her TV set. She stared hard at the TV set when her bhai watched MTV. It was nothing like chayageet or chitrahaar that she used to watch every sunday. It had more of international songs and was more 'yo' than DD. She liked it. But she was still faithful to DD Metro.
Year 2000: As time passed, 15 year old gaya3 started loosing interest in watching DoorDarshan. She found it dull, boring and preferred watching world cup matches in Star Sports than watching them on DD. She was hooked to Cable TV.
Year 2008: Gaya3 now a 23 year old girl suddenly realized that the content of the programs aired on the various channels were almost similar. Every serial or a show was a xerox of another show or serial. She realized that entertainment is now pure thrash and that people have been fooled into watching this thrash. The mahabharat that was aired in 1980's appealed to her more than the mahabharat aired in 2008. The Jaspal Bhatti comedy 'Flop Show' made her laugh more than The Great Indian Comedy Show. A dull and drab presentation of authentic news made more sense to her than the stupid anchors shrieking at the top of their voice in every news channel without any rhyme or reason. She missed the purity and innocence of Doordarshan. But then the cable TV had made her a slave and she never switched on to Doordarshan though she was tempted to do so.
Year 2009: This week, Doordarshan celebrated it's 50th year. Gaya3 has vowed to watch Doordarshan for a whole week starting from tomorrow just to see if Doordarshan has changed it's content/format in order to keep pace with the changing tastes of the audience.
P.S: Belated Happy b'day Doordarshan. I am your fan too though not a loyal one. I know that you have a great fan following in remote areas of the country and am proud of your existence.
Note: I know most of you might have watched Doordarshan as a kid and might be having some fond memories. I do not know if I am successful in reviving those memories, but these videos surely revived the old memories of my childhood. Hope it brings a smile on your face too. Enjoy!
This is a compilation of some of the famous ads that were aired during the 80's and the early 90's
And finally this is my favorite...infact it's the current ringtone of my cell phone :)

Wonderful post after being out of your Writer's Block.
DD brings lot of memories. I used to wait for every Sunday to watch Jungle Book, Tales Pin, Duck Tales, Alice in Wonderland.
Alif Laila, late night serials The Knight Rider, Japanese serial Oshin, Turning Point where Niraj Alva had such an impeccable English, Surabhi with beautiful Renuka Shahne and Siddarth Kak..
I went back in time, thank you for this post.

Beautiful post.
The growing up with Doordarshan part was sweet. Did revive a lot of memories :)

- Abhinav said...
I could relate to this post 98%.. even the dates are identical.. I did not sing Maladee's poem.. I sing these kind of things now }:-P
I also loved doordarshan... especially the cartoons..
mowgli, duck tales, tale spin, Alice in wonderland, tarramtoo, gayabaya and what not!!
I liked Tehkeekaat, Surbhi, Knight Rider.. Chitrahaar and Rangoli was so regular at our house that missing those were like missing one day's meal..!
Hmmm.. the post was so cool.. gone are those days! seriously..!!
I also miss one more thing.. Doordarshan's "Rukawat k liye Khed hai"
- September 20, 2009
- gkam said...
OMG! gaya3 that was wonderful.
I can't believe how much truth are in ur words about neglecting DD. I an relate to it myself.
I used to love those programmes.
Potli Baba ki, Flop Show, Zabaan Sambhakle, Jungle Book, Surabhi, Circus, Dekh Bhai Dekh...
That was unadulterated entertainment. *sigh!* You've made me all nostalgic girl... :)
Infact, I sang Surabhi's title track everytime i was asked to sing.
I memorized my favorite song "Ek do Teen" while I ogled at my then fave actress Madhuri. I used to sing n dance every moment I got then.
Couple of years back, while cleaning out the old toy-box, I refused to throw my He-Man figurine; I was more enthusiastic than my brother. :D He-Man's still cute. Hehee
*Big Hug* Thanks for reminiscing those wonderful times for me :)

I never knew that Doordarshan was celebrating its 50th anniversary this week, but your post gave me more reasons to celebrate other than that fact.
How I remember those idle sundays 14 years back when Mowgli was being aired. I still love the song "Jungle Jungle"
You made me feel nostalgic!
But nice execution of the post, I loved it!
Well, after the inception of the internet TV has become boring and it will boring!

- pawan said...
And also how can I forget their news?
I remember some fifteen years ago, my parents used to set the watch at our home according to the time they used to give just before the 7 'o'clock news!
Jai Doordarshan (the old one!)
- September 20, 2009
- Parikshith Kumar said...
This was a wonderful trip down the memory lane. Not to mention their news telecasts with the innumerable "Rukawat ke liye khed hai" and their newsreaders who appeared to read out of school textbooks.
And ha! U gonna watch DD for the whole week. I bet u can't... I will shave my moustache if you watch nothing but DD for the week. ( So what if I am clean shaved? I'll still use my razor over my invisible moustache) Lagi shart?

My fav is Ramayanam... Ghutan... Captain Vyom... n the list goes on...
Sing the mala de songs... LOL... innocence is precious... we loose it as we grow...

Hi! i am a first timer to your blog. I loved the post. Nostalgia! I loved the "Mile sur mera tumhara", "Bhaje sargam", and other instrumentals they had, especially that sarode piece Amjad Ali Khan (guessing, not sure). Really missed those days when we looked forward for that special movie that would be aired every week. Can't remember the day on which it was aired though.
I would like to share an incident with you. My dad was transferred to Mysore and our house was in the middle of a jungle. I was in my 5th std. Early every evening after school, I would usually venture out to explore the nearby woods with my bicycle and tommy (my pet dog) would accompany me. I lost track of time one day and forgot that "Anil Kapoor's Mr. India" was premiering on DD National that evening. The terrain not favorable for biking forced me to run, pushing my bicycle. I gave up pushing my bike half way and parked it by a solitary tree on the back of a lake. I was looking forward to watch the movie from the beginning and ran so fast that, I got some small scratches here are there. I reached my home, and slipped on the smooth marble floor, chipped my two permanent front teeth. I am 24 and they are still uneven. :-) Well, DD effect! We sure loved that channel, didn't we?
Thank you for reminding me of my golden past memories. Looking forward for more posts from your end.

Archlinux has it, Fedora has it, but where is KDE 4.1 on Sabayon Linux?
As you know Sabayon Linux depends on Gentoo portage. We use it as our backbone.
Portage is a robust package manager and everything in there is pre-tested by its maintainer.
Now portage has its categories with its own developers that create ebuilds and patches. So there are teams on several projects like gnome, xorg, java, etc etc.
Now from my understanding the KDE team has shrunk desperately lately because they reorganized the team. I won't go in detail about that, but the timing is a bit nasty sadly.
If you are curious about the progress being made, have a look here http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=shortlog
Only thing i can say about the few people working on it, respect!
As soon KDE 4.1 is done and hits portage, Sabayon Linux will merge it in the 3.5 branch. So you will not have to wait for a next Sabayon version at all.
Another thing i wanted to share with you is NFS.
If you have NFS shares in your fstab and you want them to be mounted after boot, this somehow doesn't work on Sabayon. For some Reason the order, depend at boot time isn't right for this setup. A rather simple fix solves that though.
Edit your /etc/init.d/nfs and add sleep 10 to it. This makes it wait 10 seconds (so Networkmanager should be done with whatever its doing).
A dirty but effective fix.

I go to one game a year. I wish it were more at times, but I am thankful to get to Lambeau at least once. As if the gratuitous tweeting didn't already indicate this, Sunday was my game. The seats come via an aunt, who owns season tickets. Like me, she only goes to one game and then sells the rest at face value (very classy). They are also excellent seats – almost eye level with the players, near the opposing bench and within spitting distance of the area where the kicker/punter warm up. On top of the close action, it makes for very intriguing player watching.
A couple of years ago Franklin and I witnessed the Packers blast the Colts in one of the best games of that season. But what I remember most about that day is Marvin Harrison sitting at the very end of the bench near the kickers. No big deal, right? Except that he completely alone, away from the other players, by himself. Quiet and observant. Never talking to anyone the entire game – just like this and this. To be honest, I couldn't stop watching. On one hand, he might have simply been focused on the game, but to me, he just looked awkward and anti-social. Apparently he was like that in the locker room, too. Again, who knows the reasons for his behavior; all I know is that I couldn't look away and it offered some unique insight of a player that I might not have seen on T.V.
Sunday I witnessed another player who caught my eye due to some unusual behavior – that of recently acquired 49er kicker Jeff Reed. Look that guy up sometime. Here is one of the most accurate kickers of all time with two rings. If you were a Super Bowl betting person, he would've been your guy. But this is not your run of the mill kicker. News outlets have labeled Reed as "quirky" and "eccentric." Those terms are kind. I Google image-searched him and there are dozens of pictures of him with bleach-blonde wild clown hair looking like he was on spring break in Tijuana. I guess it's not surprising he has had his share of off-the-field incidents, which probably led him to be released by the Steelers recently. Seriously though, take a look at this guy.
Sunday we saw Reed and at first glance of him in person, you can't help but notice the size of the guy's thighs – they are massive. According to his profile, he is 5'11 and 225 pounds. Sure, maybe his rookie year. Each of his legs has to be over 100 pounds – they are that huge. So big in fact that a rather big-boned lady in a tarp next to us cackled, "He's got more cellulite than I do!" Classic. After gawking a little more at the massivicity (that's a word, right?) of his bottom half, we nicknamed him "TurboDumps." Because we're immature and "ThunderThighs" would've been too obvious.
But this alone was not what made seeing TurboDumps so memorable – it was the fact he couldn't solve the configuration of his jock strap for three hours. On numerous occasions, TurboDumps had his hands jammed down his pants (front and back – mostly back), furiously tugging and twisting and adjusting that of his undergarment puzzle. It was both shocking and hilarious and it went on all game about twenty feet from the lower level of section 125 in plain view. There were times when it appeared ol' TurboDumps had arranged things to his liking, but before you could say, "Yahtzee!" he dove right back into the complicated abyss. It even got to a point where I guess he decided he could no longer fly blind – TurboDumps literally pulled out the front of his pants and looked down at "the situation". At this juncture, I pleaded, "Come on, man! There's kids here!" (Tarp lady loved that.)
I wish there were a happy ending to this story, but the truth is, I have no idea if he ever successfully negotiated the mechanism. But he did make all his kicks. Maybe there was some method to his madness, after all.

Facts & Figures: Companies now facing more litigation.
Litigation Surge
Companies are facing more litigation now than during the past two years, according to a new survey by business consultancy Alix Partners. Just 7 percent of the chief legal officers surveyed said the number of legal disputes their companies are involved in have dropped over that time. The most common type of business disputes are contract or IP-related cases, and some are significant--10 percent of respondents said their companies were involved in bet-the-company litigation.
36% GCs who said the number of litigation disputes their companies are involved in increased this year
45% Respondents who said their companies' litigation departments have grown in size
51% Respondents who reported an increase in litigation spending over the past 12 months
89% Litigation departments that have been involved in a contract dispute over the past 12 months, the most common type of legal action
Wall Street Wrongdoings
Wall Street doesn't exactly have a reputation for adherence to ethical standards, particularly in recent years, but a recent study from Labaton Sucharow throws the Street's tolerance for questionable behavior into stark relief.
The law firm reported that nearly one-quarter of financial professionals who responded to the survey have seen or had first-hand knowledge of misconduct, and only 15 percent believed that their company's leadership would alert the authorities to criminal action on the part of a top performer.
52% Survey respondents who believed that their competitors acted illegally or unethically
24% Respondents who thought that people within their own companies acted illegally or unethically
24% Professionals who would engage in insider trading to make $10 million if they would not get caught
29% respondents who thought that financial services professionals may need to act unethically to get ahead in the industry
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
The good news for U.S . workers, according to Littler Mendelson's Executive Employer Survey Report, is that employers' concerns over the economy are easing, and the majority of employers plan to hire more workers in the next 12 months. The bad news is that some businesses are continuing to put hiring on hold because of uncertainty surrounding health care and immigration reform.
60% Employers that intend to hire full-time workers in the coming year, down from 71 percent last year
57% Employers that expect health care reform to significantly impact their businesses this year
54% Businesses that are implementing employee wellness programs in response to health care reform
82% Respondents that anticipate a focus on immigration on the part of President Obama
Cutting Costs
Many general counsel are coming under increasing pressure to cut legal department costs, including on outside counsel spend. But most Fortune 1000 GCs still think they're paying too much money to law firms, according to Consero Group's 2013 Spring General Counsel Survey.
There's plenty else that GCs aren't too happy about, the survey shows. Significant percentages of GCs say that their companies aren't prepared for cyber attacks (23%) or intellectual property theft (31%), and 69% percent of GCs haven't selected a successor.
61% GCs who are not satisfied with the rates that they pay outside counsel
61% Respondents who use alternative-fee arrangements (AFAs)
60% GCs who plan to increase their AFA use in the next year
Troll Tide
Non-practicing entities are a perennial thorn in the side of IP lawyers, with more than half of patent suits last year being brought by the so-called "patent trolls." That trend isn't likely to end anytime soon, if the new 2013 Chief IP Counsel Survey from Consero Group is any indication. None of the chief IP counsel who responded to the survey expect patent litigation to decline in the coming year, and the vast majority believe that the U.S. government is not doing enough to protect companies from patent trolls.
74% Chief IP counsel who are either litigating against patent trolls or expect to in the next year
100% Respondents who anticipate patent litigation to remain steady or increase during the next year
91% Respondents who said the U.S. government is not doing enough to protect companies from patent trolls
51% Respondents who believe government protections against trademark and copyright infringement are inadequate

Watergate: A Novel. By Thomas Mallon, Pantheon Books, 448 pages, $26.95.
Mrs. Nixon: A Novelist Imagines a Life. By Ann Beattie, Scribner, 282 pages, $26.00.
This year will mark the 40th anniversary of the break-in at Democratic National Committee headquarters by yeggs with White House connections that provoked the Watergate scandal and led to Richard M. Nixon's resignation as 37th president of the United States. It's the kind of benchmark that leaves people who lived through those days facing two realizations, fused by the unwelcome recognition that we're pretty old.
Something we experienced is now as dusty as Ginger Rogers in Gold Diggers of 1933. An event we were convinced would always resonate turned out to be our random turn on the merry-go-round. All sorts of nefariousness later—from Ronald Reagan's Iran-contra end run around Congress, arguably a worse assault on constitutional niceties, to Bush v. Gore, definitely a grimmer satire of the election process—Watergate's Queen of the Scandal Prom tiara looks fairly weathered.
In her senility, the old dame's main distinction is that the perps got their just deserts, meaning disgrace for Nixon and jail time for his henchmen. But that seems less triumph than fluke now. Far from slinking out of view, the us-against-them pathology we once blamed on his administration's paranoia has become endemic in our politics. Because he couldn't help how his curdled soul undid his nobler aspirations (and he did have them), Nixon's demons are humanly preferable to his old media wallah Roger Ailes's cynical glee.
As for the idea back then that Watergate would put paid to executive-branch hubris—never mind George W. Bush. Barack Obama's belief that U.S. citizens can be assassinated on his say-so is a heady new spin on Nixon's "When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal." The claim that our seven-month bombing campaign in Libya didn't amount to "hostilities" was Newspeak to do Nixon's White House proud. Sure, we can believe Anwar al-Awlaki deserved killing and tell ourselves that the Libya thing seems to have worked out. That won't stop the ghosts of ex–press secretary Ron Ziegler, ex–chief of staff H.R. Haldeman, and Tricky Dick his own self from chortling in their various infernos.
Up to now, with scattered exceptions like Kurt Vonnegut's 1979 Jailbird—not one of his best—Watergate hasn't tempted our fiction writers. Movies were how the scandal metastasized into cultural fodder, not so much directly (All the President's Men, a slew of mostly crummy TV docudramas) as indirectly. From The Godfather, Part II, to Steven Spielberg's Jaws, a sense of rot and threat was everywhere.
But maybe literature just needs more time. The cusp between fading memory and history-book history is a fertile place for novelists to get busy. Now Thomas Mallon and Ann Beattie both have, to very different effect but with one striking similarity. Just months after starring in Beattie's self-impressed Mrs. Nixon: A Novelist Imagines a Life, Pat Nixon—first lady of the land from 1969 to 1974—is a major, warmly imagined character in Mallon's Watergate.
It's a bit unfair to compare the two books directly. Longtime Washington novelist Mallon's is full-blown historical fiction told from multiple perspectives. Veteran boomer chronicler Beattie has written a hybrid of imaginary monologues, intermittently interesting skits spun off from key episodes in Dick and Pat's life before, during, and after Watergate, and often gassy ruminations on "the writer's" stratagems, purposes, and "more expansive sensibility" vis-à-vis her blinkered subjects. (She primly adds, "It's not a value judgment," but the hell it isn't.)
The one perception both writers share is more eye-opening because it's shared. Erupting when second-wave feminism was still the stuff of bra-burning jokes, Watergate, like American politics in general, was—or seemed to be at the time—an almost exclusively masculine affair. Viewing the whole stew through female eyes is a shrewd way at this late date of finding fresh insights into power, secrecy, and public role-playing.
And a way of permitting creative latitude, the more so as Mrs. Nixon never wrote her memoirs. Ditto her husband's longtime secretary, Rose Mary Woods, who's almost as prominent as Pat in Mallon's novel even before her notorious erasure of what became known as the "18-minute gap" in one of Nixon's taped Oval Office conversations. (Mallon's invented explanation for what provoked the action is as funny as it is plausible.) Sadly, Martha Mitchell, the irrepressible wife of Nixon campaign manager turned attorney general turned convicted Watergate felon John Mitchell, was too often sozzled—and then too soon dead—to put pen to paper, either.
The peculiarity of Beattie's Mrs. Nixon, however, is that one closes it without knowing what, besides showcasing her own cleverness, drew its author to Pat Nixon—"a person I would have done anything to avoid" in life, she says. Why, I wonder? Unlike hubby, Pat never harmed anyone and showed admirable grace under pressure as well as fidelity to her own self-abnegating values. Few people now would deny she had courage.
Hating Nixon is, of course, another story. A tired one, but that's not the same as being wrongheaded. As Beattie puts it in one of her better observations, "A lot of people liked [Pat], but something seemed wrong because she was married to him." Yet even when Beattie strives to mimic compassion, she condescends, cluttering her heroine's mind with Dick's-better-half banalities ("A man doesn't mind a good chocolate milkshake, let me tell you!") or snidely imagining her reading Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn" after being presented with a crystal bowl by a group of Senate wives.
The book isn't all "Stupid Pat Tricks" though. Every so often, Beattie convinces you she's channeling Pat, never more so than when, under attack from a mob in Venezuela, the then–vice president's wife worries first about what will become of her daughters if she and Dick end up dead. A comic sketch of the Nixons adopting a dog in retirement is first-rate; curiously, Beattie is better at imagining his dialogue than hers. Good lines here and there—of Nixon, "his wife always knew he could do it. It was just that she didn't want him to"—hint at the book Mrs. Nixon might have been if only Beattie had just written a novel instead of implying the job's beneath her.
Mallon, by contrast, has not only written a novel but a terrific one. Because Watergate, perhaps inevitably, starts out in the kaleidoscopic manner of many a time-mildewed Washington thriller (think Seven Days in May), it takes a while to realize how rich and ambitious the book is. Mallon's major achievement as he takes us from the eve of the break-in to Nixon's resignation is to turn the scandal's real-life players from yesteryear's TV gargoyles into human beings. It could be the first time they've been seen that way, at least by anyone but themselves.
Mallon's Pat Nixon is convincing right down to her homely, determinedly modest inner imagery for herself. At one fraught moment, she notices that her hand is trembling "as if she'd just bowled several frames." (When Beattie does this kind of thing, she's being supercilious; Mallon is empathizing.) Equally good is his rendering of a Rose Woods whose emotions are so sublimated by her relationship with her boss that she doesn't recognize that her selfless devotion is vanity.
Another, more unexpected female character is brilliantly chosen: socialite Alice Roosevelt Longworth, Teddy Roosevelt's octogenarian daughter and the District's ultimate tart-tongued onlooker. As acute about herself as she is about everyone else—"I allowed my personality to swallow whatever real person I might have been," she tells Nixon in a climactic tête-à-tête—she's not only a link to the capital's past but the occasion for glittering social comedy. Plus much vintage Washington gossip (who was JFK Jr.'s real father?) that Mallon, Gore Vidal–style, plainly enjoys serving up. Yet he's only malicious in his characterization of the Nixon administration's blueblood for all seasons, Elliot Richardson, "marooned in the paradise of his reputation."
While Mallon doesn't overdo the period decor, he knows the mores of a bygone Washington where one proof you were in the swim was to drink like a fish. His soused Martha Mitchell is exuberantly vivid, above all in a scene that has her crashing Teddy Kennedy's birthday party in the full awareness she'll be a sensation, not an intruder. Ventriloquized via Alice Longworth, Mallon's crack about Boston-born Richardson's "maddening double-slur of alcohol and lockjaw" brought back my own fascinated glimpse as a McLean, Virginia, teenager of our disheveled-looking secretary of health, education, and welfare—or was he attorney general by then?—emerging from an ABC store with a brown-bagged bottle of booze one fine Saturday morning. The time-machine details are unfailingly sharp, from Woods grumping because Camp David only gets reception from a single TV station to "the light of a hundred Instamatic flash cubes" at an inaugural ball. I'd almost forgotten those dinky little cameras, among the earliest to not only be cheap but look it.
Those who, like me, do remember how unwieldy the unfolding Watergate saga was to keep track of will also admire the deftness of Mallon's selectivity in presenting it from the perspective of those for whom its bombshells weren't revelations but exposed secrets. By and large, he has public highlights like the Ervin Committee hearings occur offstage. We get the culprits' trepidatious or finagling reactions to each new development instead. If Woodward and Bern-stein rate barely a mention, that's no doubt accurate too—this bunch already knew what was going to be in the duo's Washington Post stories.
Despite Mallon's craft, however, he may rely on readers' firsthand memories more than he realizes. The short shrift given physical descriptions and other nudging reminders of who's who is no problem for geezers, since we need only read John Mitchell's name or even a bit player like Jeb Magruder's to recall their televised looks, tics, and demeanor like it was yesterday. But anyone under 50 may have trouble keeping the cast straight. That's one reason I wonder how Watergate will register to those not steeped in the era.
Another is that Mallon's approach takes Watergate's momentousness as a given instead of amplifying it for newbies' benefit. Treating the scandal's inner workings as District chamber drama leaves out how it first confused, then wrenched and appalled (and sometimes delighted) the country at large. So here's a question. Why should people who weren't born yet care—any more than my generation cared about, say, Teapot Dome? Despite being great theater and the grand finale to the whole alternately heady and sulfuric trip launched by John F. Kennedy's assassination, Watergate wasn't all that consequential to the country's future.
Compute what it changed besides Nixon's address, and you don't come up with a lot: campaign-finance reforms that are now dead letters, a temporary surge in applications to journalism school, a consensus among later presidents that Oval Office taping systems aren't a great idea. As for the loss of innocence favored by cliché-mongers, presumably we all know by now that American innocence springs eternal. One proof was Reagan's election with a deliberate appeal to it just six years after Nixon resigned.
Starting with the "Southern Strategy" that transformed the region from a bigoted Democratic bastion to a bigoted Republican one and not neglecting Roger Ailes's Fox News career, the bigger genies Nixon let out of the bottle went right on genie-ing away. He might not recognize today's elephant party; I'm not sure Reagan would. But Nixon fecit is still inscribed somewhere on its hindquarters, and pity the unlucky blind man who feels that part up.
Two cheers for nostalgia, though. Those three Watergate summers were exhilarating. The scandal's best-kept secret is that, for Washingtonians, it was the time of our lives: "Carnival in Rio," as Chris Matthews once endearingly wrote. No doubt that confused his non-Beltway audience, still under the impression that Watergate was some sort of national tragedy.
True, I was in my callow teens then: a happy Capitol Hill intern during the Ervin hearings, regretful mostly that my Nixonphobic dad wasn't around to enjoy this. Bliss it would have been to him to be alive, but to be young was very heaven. Believe it or not—and I bet former first daughter Julie Nixon Eisenhower can hum it, too—the vintage song that most brings back Watergate for me is one-hit wonder Terry Jacks's 1973 version of a croaker ditty by Jacques Brel: "We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun/But the wine, and the song, like the seasons have all gone."

Wiki wrote:Kanzi (born October 28, 1980) . . . is a male bonobo who has been featured in several studies on great ape language. According to Sue Savage-Rumbaugh, a primatologist who has studied the bonobo throughout her life, Kanzi has exhibited advanced linguistic aptitude . . .
In an outing in the Georgia woods, Kanzi touched the symbols for "marshmallows" and "fire." Susan Savage-Rumbaugh said in an interview that, "Given matches and marshmallows, Kanzi snapped twigs for a fire, lit them with the matches and toasted the marshmallows on a stick." The Telegraph has published photos of Kanzi putting together a fire for food.
Paul Raffaele, at Savage-Rumbaugh's request, performed a Haka for the Bonobos. This Maori war dance includes thigh-slapping, chest-thumping, and hollering. Almost all the bonobos present interpreted this as an aggressive display, and reacted with loud screams, tooth-baring, and pounding the walls and floor. All but Kanzi, who remained perfectly calm; he then communicated with Savage-Rumbaugh using bonobo vocalizations; Savage-Rumbaugh understood these vocalizations, and said to Raffaele, "he'd like you to do it again just for him, in a room out back, so the others won't get upset." Later, a private performance in another room was successfully, peacefully, and happily carried out.
Sue Savage-Rumbaugh has observed Kanzi in communication to his sister. In this experiment, Kanzi was kept in a separate room of the Great Ape Project and shown some yogurt. Kanzi made some vocalizations which his sister could hear; his sister, Panbanisha, who could not see the yogurt, then pointed to the lexigram for yogurt, suggesting those vocalizations may have meaning.
Kanzi's accomplishments also include tool use and tool crafting. Kanzi is an accomplished stone tool maker and can flake Oldowan style cutting knives. He learned this skill from Dr. Nick Toth, who is an anthropologist with the Stone Age Institute in Bloomington, Indiana. The stone knives Kanzi creates are very sharp and can cut animal hide and thick ropes.
In one demonstration shown on the television show Champions of the Wild, Kanzi was shown playing the arcade game Pac-Man and understanding how to beat it.

Warning! Dangerous Cocktail Geekery Ahead!
The other day I got a text from Erik Adkins, "What do you know about the Bee's Knees?"
I responded: I know it isn't a Savoy Cocktail, most people say it is a Prohibition Era Cocktail, and the earliest recipe I know of is from the 1947 "Bartender's Guide…by Trader Vic".
Bee's Knee (sic)
1 oz Gin
Juice 1/4 Lemon
1 tsp. Honey
Shake with crushed ice; strain into cocktail glass.
I said I'd check further and see what I could come up with.
Now my general assumption has always been that the 1947 "Bartender's Guide…by Trader Vic" used Patrick Gavin Duffy's 1934 "Official Mixer's Manual" as it's source for prohibition and pre-prohibition cocktails.
So I checked P.G. Duffy, but it had no Bee's Knee. Or Bee's Knees for that matter.
Well, thinking about it, there were actually 3 big cocktail compendiums published just prior to prohibition in America: "Savoy Cocktail Book", PG Duffy's "Official Mixer's Manual", and "Cocktail" Bill Boothby's "World Drinks and How to Mix Them".
San Francisco Bartender William Boothby is interesting, in that he was a cocktail author that spanned pre-prohibition and post-prohibition cocktail publishing. His first books were published before 1900 and his magnum pre-prohbition opus published in 1908.
Unfortunately, the plates, and most of the original copies of his pre-prohibition publications were destroyed in the Great San Francisco Earthquake and Fire of 1906.
After Prohibition, in 1930 he again got into the publishing business with his "World Drinks and How to Mix Them".
As with other author's, his goal was to compile as many of the the pre-prohibition and prohibition era cocktail recipes as he could find into the same book. Concentrate all the knowledge in one big book.
On a practical level, I imagine all these authors walking into a publishing office with a big stack of pre-prohibition cocktail manuals and saying, "Here's my book, just transcribe these. I'll write the introduction. Thanks for the check, I prefer cash. Have you heard of a little something called the Depression?"
Or, well, in Craddock's case, not even that. "Here's a quote for your introduction. You're the writer, make me sound good."
So I checked my 1934 edition of home-boy Boothby's recipe book for the Bee's Knees Cocktail.
Bee's Knees
Gin…1/2 Jigger
Lemon…1 Spoon
Orange…1 Spoon
Honey…1 Spoon
Shake well with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass and serve.
Huh, wow, could it be that the Bee's Knees, one of the signature cocktails of the modern craft cocktail movement, originated on the West Coast? Well, either that, or it was in some unknown book in Boothby's collection, which neither Craddock nor PG Duffy had access to. I guess it is worth noting that Boothby was a West Coast bartender, while both Duffy and Craddock plied their trade in the metropolitan areas of the East Coast. I also sent a note to Greg Boehm, and he confirmed Boothby was the earliest Bee's Knees recipe he knew of.
Interestingly, this seems to indicate that Trader Vic, instead of using PG Duffy for his source for pre-prohibition cocktails, was actually using Boothby's "World Drinks and How to Mix Them". West Coast represent!
Boy, an interesting exercise would be to find out which cocktails were unique to all three of these classic cocktail compendiums.
It might give us more insight into which cocktails were actually Craddock's, which cocktails were Boothby's, and which were rightly claimed by PG Duffy.
Now, the prohibition era Bee's Knees is often excoriated as being a disgustingly sweet concoction, only created to hide the flavor of bathtub booze with honey and lemon.
These early recipes both seem to give lie to that theory; they are heavy on the gin and far lighter on the honey and lemon that any modern cocktail would be.
Here's a modern recipe for the Bee's Knees from a website:
Bee's Knees
2 oz Gin
3/4 oz Honey Syrup
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
Shake with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and serve.
Seems like modern cocktail makers, not prohibition era bartenders, are the ones playing, "Hide the Gin".
Update with even more cocktail geekery!
I was chatting with Camper English in the Mixo Bar and he mentioned that he also had recently been researching the Bee's Knees Cocktail.
He mentioned that Jared and Anistasia Miller (of Mixellany, Slow Drinks, and EUVS fame) had claimed that the oldest recipe for the Bee's Knees was from Frank Meier's "The Artistry of Mixing Drinks".
It's not a book I am super familiar with, so I dug out my Cocktail Kingdom reprint and checked. Indeed there is a Bee's Knees in Mr. Meier's Book.
Frank Meier was the head bartender at the Ritz Paris during Prohibition and published his book, "The Artistry of Mixing Drinks" in 1936. A very influential man in the circles of European Bartending.
His recipe for the Bee's Knees is as follows:
Bee's Knees
In shaker: the juice of one-quarter Lemon, a teaspoon of Honey, one-half glass of Gin; shake well and serve.
As this is nearly the Trader Vic recipe verbatim, I think I am going to have to rescind my previous assumption that Mr. Bergeron was using Boothby for a source. Bummer for West Coast Solidarity. He was probably having Meier transcribed, not Boothby, and it was probably Vic's plagiarizing of the Meier recipe that went on to launch a thousand gin sours sweetened with honey.
On the other hand, Boothby did beat Meier to the punch by publishing a Bee's Knees recipe in 1930 and again in 1934.
Half right, half wrong. Not bad.
Now I'm gonna have to do a taste test between Bee's Knees with Orange Juice and without.

So yesterday I wrote a post intended to be a funny and self-critical commentary on the ambiguous nature of feminism, but which turned out to be a bit controversial. Entitled "13 Things That Make Me a Lousy Feminist," the post was a companion piece to my "13 Things That Make Me a Lousy Evangelical" and "13 Things That Make Me a Lousy Progressive," and was based on a somewhat frustrating experience I recently had at a progressive Christian conference where I wondered if I would ever fit in with my feminist allies.
As you may have noticed, the post received some criticism, most of which was fair, well-reasoned and from readers whose perspectives I greatly respect. In situations like these, I figure it's better to listen than get defensive, so today I'm thrilled to introduce you to Dianna Anderson, who somehow managed to pull together a brilliant guest post overnight after I asked her to share her thoughts on the blog.
In her day job, Dianna is a mild-mannered producer at a radio show in Chicago, IL, but when the stakes get raised, she becomes the fly in the bonnet of the patriarchy, using her arsenal of words in blogging over at diannaeanderson.net. She has also been doing a lot of reading about super heroes and graphic novels of late – can you tell?
It was bound to happen at some point or another. Somewhere deep in the internet's recesses, practically back into Gollum's cave, I found her: the one person I could ever say actually fits the definition of what most people think feminists are. This was a woman who truly believed, deep down, that men are evil, disgusting pigs, and you're not a true feminist if you're not a lesbian.
I encountered this blogger over a year ago when a friend sent me a piece she wrote condemning Joss Whedon's Firefly for being anti-feminist and anti-woman (say it with me: "WHAT?"). The comments section was ablaze, and the piece was some of the worst literary criticism I had ever read (and I have an MA in English). I had to close the window when she suggested that, because of the heterosexual power structure and the patriarchy, it is literally impossible for a man and a woman to have sex without it constituting rape (don't ask…I'm not even sure I understand).
I tell you all this to say: feminists who hate men with a fiery passion do, in fact, exist. But, they exist in such a way that you wonder how they function in real life – they might just be a horse with a cone taped to their head instead of an actual unicorn. If you have encountered one of these women in your life, then I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the trial your sanity had to undertake in order to have a conversation with that person and I'm doubly sorry if you happen to be a man having that conversation.
But here's the thing: 99.9% of the feminists you encounter? Not man-haters. Indeed, for those of us who are heterosexual, we could even be called man-lovers. Many of us have married men or are in relationships with men or have crushes on men. Many of us look upon Ryan Gosling and George Clooney with great affection.
It is sad to me that I even need to make this disclaimer, but the stereotype of feminist as "man-hater" is so engrained in the populace and the church that reality is frequently ignored in favor of dismissing an argument. I've been accused of being a "man hater" while sitting next to my then boyfriend. Many women in my life have warned me that identifying as a feminist will "turn men off" from me and "don't you want to get married someday?" I've had men dismiss the possibility of friendship (not relationship, mind you, friendship) outright when I explain that my blog is about feminism and the church (often in no fewer words than that).The silencing and dismissal that comes along with the stereotype of man-hater is annoying at best and hurtful at worst.
All of this was brought to mind when Rachel blogged her "13 reasons I'm a lousy feminist" the other day. Having being on the receiving end of the "man-hater" comment more times than I can count, seeing it listed as number one – in the form of "I like white males so much I married one"– rubbed me the wrong way.Being called a man-hater is often unfairly used as a way to silence women and dismiss their arguments outright, which is troubling, especially when it happens in the midst of a theological discussion. I'm grateful Rachel has given me the opportunity here, in her space, to address the "man-hater" issue.
Not only does the stereotype mischaracterize feminism as a matriarchal movement instead of an equality based one – you'd be amazed at all the ways in which women are still not equal (we still make 77 cents to every man's dollar for the same work. Oh, yeah, and it is 2011) – but the stereotype erases the ways in which men and women have worked together for the cause of feminism.
Not a lot of people know this, so forgive me if I delve into a bit of a history lesson here: the US women's suffrage movement wasn't entirely women. Indeed, the suffrage movement actually extended out of a network of church-based Moral Reform Societies that were led by men, but composed mainly of white, middle class women. The concept of feminism as an official movement (first wave feminism in the late 1800s) was borne out of the concept of solidarity and sisterhood. The women of the Moral Reform Societies rejected the idea of woman as property and wanted to find ways to help women of ill repute – yes, the prostitutes. In one remarkably progressive instance, the New York Moral Reform Society (NYMRS) published an article in their newsletter – the Advocate of Moral Reform – calling out the double standard between men and women in terms of sex, mainly that men were allowed to have it whenever where-ever, but if a woman worked as a prostitute (pretty much her only option for many lower class impoverished women), then she was the lowest of the low.
But these moral reformers were not just uppercrust white women realizing the link between themselves and those women on the street. They were also a remarkable example of women working together with men for a feminist cause. The heads of the societies and the publishers of the newsletters were men. Women, in alliance with the men in their lives, worked together to argue for the cause of women everywhere because they recognized that their battle could not succeed without the support of men. Men were integral to the moral reform movement, and they were extremely helpful in terms of suffrage.
Feminism was born out of an alliance between men and women, out of a gracious and mutually beneficial relationship where both sexes worked for the cause of women. And, I would argue, it has maintained that alliance. Other voices have entered into the movement and there has been disambiguation of the varying causes – the recognition that feminism has been pretty racist in the past, and pretty homophobic and transphobic in the present and still has a lot of issues. But one issue we don't have is man-hating.
Feminism is a vast umbrella that can be best summed up by the idea that "women are people, too." This means the stay at home mom. This means the Christian woman blogger. This means the girl who politely says "no" to you on the bus. This means the prostitute on the street corner.This means your worst enemy and your best friend are deserving of equal treatment under the law and by their neighbors because they are human beings. For most feminists, this means no strict gender roles or a hierarchy that demands a man be the authority over a woman just because he's a man and that a woman be submissive and quiet just because she's a woman.Feminism means allowing both women and men to be themselves as God created them to be – as individuals, not defined by their reproductive system but rather by their personalities, their relationships, their definitions of themselves. It is a movement that prizes people being who they are without being reduced to what equipment they do or don't have.
It is because we love our brothers that we are feminists, not because we hate them.

Watch out, world! Ofcom is off the leash to bite radio jammers
Watchdog back in the kennel after the Olympics
The UK radio regulator will start regulating the use of radio spectrum, but only at Olympic venues and only for the duration of the Games, despite calls for Ofcom to be given longer-lasting clout.
Anyone interfering with public safety radios during the Olympics, and near any Olympic site, will have Ofcom on their backs, thanks to new legislation which gives the regulator powers most people thought it already had and everyone else thinks it should have.
The "Wireless Telegraphy (Control of Interference from Apparatus) (the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games) Regulations 2012" (PDF, dull but mercifully short) permit the regulator to sanction anyone caught using equipment spitting out radio signals in frequencies used by public safety, and have been up for public consultation since 25 April, but those responding (PDF, shorter than one would expect) seem more interested in why this isn't a normal part of Ofcom's work rather than something special lasting only the length of the Games:
"It seems funny to me that it takes the Olympics to make Ofcom take their statuary duty [SIC] regarding EMC seriously," says Tim Hauge, one of the individuals responding to the consultation.
"So Ofcom has suddenly decided to enforce the [regulations] and make sure that no interfering devices are in use ... but only for the duration of the Games?" questions another clearly frustrated member of the public, continuing: "Meanwhile, the rest of us have to put up with PLAs, switch-mode PSUs and plasma TVs making mincemeat of the MF and HF bands (and sometimes VHF as well), while you instruct your investigation teams to wring their hands and refuse to act."
The same argument is made, rather more coherently if with less passion, by the Radio Society of Great Britain. The RSGB also takes issue with a couple of clauses in the proposed regulations, pointing out that neither "apparatus" nor "safety of life" are properly defined, though Ofcom has made only minor changes in either regard.
The BBC was also unhappy with the "safety of life" limitation, pointing out that Ofcom took responsibility for ensuring "wireless services free from harmful interference" as part of the Olympic bid.
Ofcom normally only manages radio equipment, so radio interference generated by inverters on solar panels, or plasma TVs, is arguably beyond its remit as long as it passes EU regulations at the time of sale. By requiring additional legislation Ofcom is admitting that it hasn't the power to keep the airwaves clear any other method, something which a regulator should surely be able to do. ®

News Corp Found Guilty Of Hacking Only A Single DISH Smart Card
from the that's-not-gonna-hurt deptLast month we wrote about the strange case of DISH Networks accusing a News Corp subsidiary of hacking its smart cards and distributing them. This seemed really unlikely, as there was little incentive for the company to do so. The company did admit to reverse engineering DISH Networks technology (which is perfectly legal). It appears that a jury wasn't particularly convinced either. It did find the subsidiary guilty of hacking one single smart card, for which the company was fined $49.69 (ouch!), and then the court added another $1000 for "damages." So, technically it's a "victory" for DISH, but probably not to the level it was expecting.

Apple pancakes
It's apple season! I picked up a bunch of red, gold and green apples the other day, and the same day, my husband stopped and got a few more bags. So we have an over-abundance of apples at my house. It was fun slicing the different varieties up and letting the kids taste the difference. We love them dipped in caramel, and they've been taking lots of apples in their lunches. I'm also planning to make some apple butter in the slow cooker.
We decided to have breakfast for dinner last night, and I wanted to use up some of our apples. I found a recipe for apple pancakes, but the batter turned out to be much more like a crepe than a pancake, and they weren't exactly what I wanted. Still, I love the idea of apple pancakes, so I wanted to include it in the blog anyway.
Wash, core, and thinly slice your apples, then dip in your favorite pancake batter. Melt butter in a skillet. Using a fork, lift apple rings out of the batter and place into the hot skillet. Flip when browned on the bottom.
Sometimes things don't go exactly as planned in the kitchen, but that's OK. Even with the less-than-stellar batter recipe I tried, the apples were pretty good, and the kids enjoyed them. We also cooked up some sausage patties, and enjoyed making little sandwiches with a patty in between two apple pancakes. Yum!

In their final face-off against Canada, the U.S. team, with four local players, prevailed.
When several of the local ice hockey players on the U.S. Maccabiah masters team were asked prior to the games who they considered the favorite to win, they predicted Canada — based on reputation, not actual knowledge of team composition.
It turns out they were partially correct. The United States did face Canada in the finals of the four team tournament, which featured players age 40 and up, and the Canadians did beat them earlier in the games. But the United States enacted revenge and captured the gold medal 7 to 4 over Canada, which until that point had been undefeated.
The U.S. team did not get off to a strong start at the games, first narrowly losing to Canada 6 to 5 and then to Russia 11 to 6 in the prelimiary rounds.
In the semifinals, the United States defeated Russia 6 to 5.
"With a solid game plan put together by our coaching staff, the team dug deep and executed on it flawlessly," Todd Lewis, a player from Los Angeles, wrote in a blog. In the other semifinal game, Canada beat Israel 6 to 3.
Matt Steinberg, a forward on the U.S. team from Ft. Washington, called winning gold the "most memorable sports event" of his life.
In addition to Steinberg, the team featured three other local players: Peter Levitt of Bala Cynwyd, Jon Hodes of West Conshohocken and Joshua Petersohn, who lives in Center City.

This is a guest post by Elissa Malespina, a Librarian at South Orange Middle School in South Orange, New Jersey. If you are interested in contributing to the Edmodo Blog, please complete this form.
Connect with Elisssa on Edmodo or follow her at @SOMSlibrary
Middle School is a time when kids feel vulnerable and are trying to find themselves. A lot of students think that no one likes them. Using Edmodo, I decided to set up a South Orange Middle School "Compliments Group" to help address this.
How the Compliments Group Works
- Create a "group" on Edmodo and make the group "read only" so students won't be able to comment
- Share the group code with your students and other teachers
- Students who want to compliment someone direct message me their compliments about other students and staff
- Post those compliments anonymously to the Compliments group
Bringing Our School Closer Together
The group has been a huge hit with the staff and students! Students love it because they enjoy seeing nice things written about themselves and others. Staff find it heartwarming to hear nice things about themselves from their students.
As teachers, we all have days when we think that we want to give up because we are not reaching anyone. Seeing nice posts about us make us realize why we do our job.
It has brought our school closer together. All thanks to Edmodo!!
10 comments. Leave new
Thank you so much for sharing. I would love to start this at our Middle School!
Thank you! Great idea.
Fantastic idea. Thanks for sharing.
This sounds like a great idea. However, I didn't entirely understand the part about posting anonymously. Did you mean that because the teacher would be receiving the comments as direct message, when you re-posted them to the page they would appear as originating from him/her?
The kids Direct Message me and then I post them so no one knows who is the one who wrote the post.
Great idea!
Oh I love, love, LOVE this! To prep for the upcoming Common Core tests, I've been having my students type up little journal responses in EdModo or MyBigCampus quite frequently. I'm always looking for a good journal topic, and this one is PERFECT! Thanks a bunch!
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing it. We all need a little encouragement in life.
This is a great Idea! I would really like to try this in my school! It would do lots to boost the morale of the students.!
Great idea! Will share with my Edmodo PD groups – we love hearing about PBS activities to help our schools.
Thank you! 🙂

My two nephews were watching TV when I stopped in to my mom's yesterday. I was impressed at how well they were behaving. While I had lunch with my mom, the boys joined us at the table for some milk and homemade cookies. One of the boys told me about World Wars I and II, and what he learned from the Pearl Harbor movie. The other boy told me about an upcoming fishing trip with his dad. It was a pleasant insight in to the boys' interests.
The boys left the table after a while and enjoyed some silliness, like crawling and creeping around the house, and sneaking up on me. Later, I heard them giggle as they gently tossed around what I thought was a small Frisbee. Their abuelo (grandfather) was not amused, but I assured my dad that no es nada (no big deal) and the boys returned to their cartoons.
Before I left, I tore out two slips of paper from a notepad in my bag. On each, I created an "Excellent Behavior" note, promising a special prize in the future, as long as they could present the slip of paper to me next time we meet. I handed the "coupons" to the boys and watched as they read them. They exchanged smiles, folded the slips back up, and placed them in their pockets. I kissed them good-bye, and made my way out the door.
I had to turn around though, realizing I had left my book on the table. As I walked out again, I peeked in on the boys. They were reading their coupons to each other!
Awesome. Now, assuming they're successful in preserving those little slips of paper for a few weeks, what should the prize be? Must it be a thing?
