President Lyndon B. Johnson announces he won't seek re-election.
As our young soldiers continue to die in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is almost a mirror of bloody history when brave and gallant GIs, more than 50,000 of them, became tragic casualties in the Vietnam War. Those years were indeed a violent time during the turbulent 60s.
Back home, demonstrations, riots and political dissidence split the nation in half as American troops fought for a cause never understood by politicians, military leaders and the public.
From the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, to riots in Detroit, Los Angeles and other cities, it seemed almost miraculous that the country could survive such difficult times.
Reporters and correspondents were also cast into dangerous situations and it might not be the bullets from the weapons of a foreign terrorist but the projectiles fired from guns of assassins, criminals and rioters in various venues of protests and demonstrations.
After President Lyndon B. Johnson announced he would not run for re-election in 1968, the Democratic convention in Chicago would choose the nominee to run against Richard M. Nixon. That man was Vice President Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota, who although considered a liberal, might be in a different category in today's political climate. His running mate was Edmund Muskie, the senator from Maine.
As news director for two Houston radio stations, KNUX and KQUE, station owner Dave Morris, directed me to cover the convention since Dave was a well-known Houston businessman and supportive Democrat. I was also to report from Miami at the later Republican convention.
I selected one of my staff members, Charles Duncan, to accompany me to the Windy City, as most major media outlets were sending large staffs to cover the events. The convention was to be held at the Chicago amphitheater on August 25th-29th, 1968.
From the time we arrived to the day we departed, the atmosphere in Chicago was about as tense as a battlefield before the fighting began. There were organized demonstrations by anti-war groups, Communist sympathizers, pro-Vietnam groups and young men and women who hated the military and the U.S. government. One such group was called "Yippies," youth international for peace. They gathered in Grant Park across from the Conrad Hilton Hotel and camped there while smoking their pot, sniffing their cocaine and copulating outside for everyone to see.
That was the birth of the infamous Chicago 8 when Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin and Tom Hayden were the ring leaders. Hayden, of course, was later to become Jane Fonda's husband.
Even though most of our time was spent at the Democratic convention, after hours were used trying to line-up interviews, writing advance stories, finding restaurants away from the chaos of the political wrangling and attempting to sneak in a little breathing room. You couldn't escape the overall environment of violent episodes.

Richard Daley
Chicago Mayor Richard Daley had ordered his entire police force to be on stand-by for possible riots and turmoil plus National Guard troops, government agents and other troops which totaled about 29,000 law enforcement figures . In my opinion, his so-called "iron hand" approach, prevented a total eruption of street-side anarchy. Police officers were on duty 10-12 hours a day and the Hilton Hotel was surrounded by a cordon of police standing at parade rest.
There was one young Democratic group, reportedly called the ADA, Americans for Democratic Action, which had rented the 17th floor of the Hilton, and from some of those rooms, plastic bags filled with urine were dropped onto the police officers below. A group of long hired Yippies were parading along the streets close to the hotel and they were toting Viet Cong flags and banners with the picture of Ho Chi Minh. They were chanting "Ho…Ho..Ho..Chi Minh..f____LBJ" and "Hell, no! We won't go" (to Vietnam).
I was broadcasting live to Houston and the Texas State Network (TSN) and describing how volatile the situation had become and the patience of the police in attempting to prevent a total riot. A CBS TV newsman was a few feet away decrying the forceful action of the "Daley Gestapo" police force.
I won't name that correspondent because he was a famous face and I was just a humble radio newsman. But he failed to mention the most serious injury of the day, which was the wounded police officer who lay in the gutter for minutes bleeding profusely from an attack by one of the Yippies. The officer had been hit in the jaw with a board containing a large spike which had penetrated his eye.
No network television crew ever showed a frame of that injured patrolman. Instead the correspondent said the brutality of the officers was appalling as news film showed officers using their blackjacks to hit the on-rushing Yippies as they attempted to break through police lines. The policemen were called every profane name known and some unknown as they charged toward the cordon of officers.
On the floor of the convention, I was the first newsman to get to Dan Rather after he had been blocked and inadvertently pushed down by the bodyguards for would-be candidate Governor George Wallace of Alabama. After he had described the scene live on CBS, I asked him to tell the Houston radio audience what had taken place.
There was one other memorable experience that took place away from the confab itself. Jerry Trapp, Associated Press Bureau Chief in New York, Eddie Barker, News Director of KRLD-TV in Dallas and Assistant News Director Bill Ceverha and I were driving back from the Blackhawk Hotel in downtown Chicago long Michigan Avenue.
As we neared the hotel, we were blocked by a group of demonstrators who carried the VC flag and were displaying the peace sign and shouting at us to join their cause. Ceverha, a native of Chicago and already upset with the fact theYippies were desecrating his home city, yelled out the window:
"Go to hell! Remember the Alamo!"
Well, that incited the dissidents and they began rocking our car and cursing us when police firing tear gas canisters arrived at the scene. As the mob dispersed, we made our way to the hotel to wipe our eyes and seek refuge inside the building.
The Yippies and anti-war groups wanted Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern to be the Democratic standard bearers.
Many Hollywood stars visited the convention hoping to influence delegates to select their nomination choice. I recall seeing Actor Paul Newman, who was supporting McCarthy, along with writer Arthur Miller and actress Shiley MacLaine.
Governor John Connally, then still a Democrat, was on hand to support Humphrey, although Connally felt Humphrey was betraying Johnson's stand on the Vietnam war.
As the curtain was closing on the violent 60s and America was torn between the war and memories of Kennedy and King's assassinations just weeks before, there was a nationwide nervousness that a second shoe was about to drop.
I was simply hoping to get home without being attacked, shot or captured by those thousands of pro-Communist demonstrators. I had no fear of the Daley battalion's enforcers but there is no doubt that during my five-day stay in Chicago, I took a close look at the upheaval taking place and the fact there was supposed to be law but there certainly was no order.
I hope and pray that our country today is not on a similar path sometime in the future. It was violent, vicious and virulent.
I matured as news reporter and I also acquired some strands of grey hair that undoubtedly sprang up in a cloud of tear gas.

Setting up an emergency fund
When people start to take control of their finances, two of the very first steps that people always recommend are paying down debt and setting up an emergency fund.

Sometimes, the rules for lawmaking can be as or more important than the laws they enable.
Take SB 1039, a bill that has worked its way through the legislature to create a new process for which statewide propositions appear on the ballot. Although Brown and his Democratic colleagues won't publicly admit it, this legislative change may well give Brown and his temporary tax increases proposal an advantage in November that he otherwise would not have.
Confused? Hold on, this isn't nearly as wonkish as it seems.
Until now, proposals have been assigned their place on the ballot as a result of the order in which they have qualified after gathering the necessary number of signatures. SB 1039 would change that order by placing constitutional amendments at the top of the proposals, with statutes ordered below.
The official idea behind the new law is that constitutional amendments carry more weight than statutes because of their permanence in state law -- until they're "permanently" changed by another amendment, of course.
So what difference does that make? Maybe more than what meets the eye.
Governor Jerry Brown's ballot proposal to temporarily increase sales taxes and income taxes for the wealthy has been drafted as a constitutional amendment. Even though the tax increases have fixed times for expiration, the Brown proposal contains some minor permanent changes, thus the listing as a constitutional amendment.
Brown's proposal will be on the same ballot with two other tax-related proposals, one to increase all income taxes and another to increase corporate taxes. The folks associated with the Brown proposal would just as soon see it appear separately from its competitors, lest it be lost among all others.
U.S. & World
Without the change, the Brown proposal would be listed ninth among the 11 proposals.
Some people upon reading this might just shake their heads and go on to the sports pages, or some other news much more meaningful than what appears to be parliamentary drivel. But there may be something to the change.
Political scientists who love minutiae have long known that the order of names in an election can have an impact on the outcome.
Known as the "ballot order affect," studies show that the first name in a list of candidates tends to attract about two percent more votes than it would were it placed elsewhere. That's why many states rotate name orders.
Which takes us back to SB 1039. By placing Brown's proposal at the top of the ballot, will it gain a slight edge over the others? It's unknown whether voters will react to proposed laws the way they react to candidate names. But if the Brown constitutional amendment passes by two percent or less, the sponsors in Sacramento may have an extra large smile on their faces November 7th.

On Twitter, Rihanna announced the album and unveiled the artwork, which depicts her topless but obscured by inspirational tags like "fun," "fearless," "love," "victory" and of course "unapologetic."
"My NEW album 'UNAPOLOGETIC' will be released on NOVEMBER 19th WORLDWIDE #Navy," she tweeted.
The first single from the album, "Diamonds," was released late last month and is currently No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100. Rihanna has announced the Diamonds World Tour, which is set to begin in March 2013.

HTC has made good on its promise and has launched its new developer portal. Although the developer portal is intended to cater to both Android and Windows Phone 7 devices from HTC, right now it is predominantly for Android users and developers.
HTCdev is designed to give you the inspiration to explore the possibilities within HTC devices, the resources you need to develop your ideas and applications, and the opportunity to connect with other developers and with HTC.
HTC is opening up aspects of its popular Sense UI to enable tighter third party application integration. Currently three sets of APIs are available: Common Controls API, Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) API, and Tablet Pen API. The first one encompasses UI widgets and components that will provide developers with the ability to deliver the Sense UI look and feel to their applications. The other two are for leveraging 3D display and Scribe pen functionalities. HTCDev also provides access to the kernel source code for pretty much all the current generation HTC Android smartphones.
Disappointingly, the bootloader unlocking tool, which is probably the most highly anticipated aspect of the new developer portal, is still not ready. HTC Sensation will be the first handset to receive the unlocker, followed by the HTC Sensation 4G on T-Mobile USA and the HTC EVO 3D on Sprint. The web based bootloader unlocking tool is expected to go live within the next couple of weeks. All future HTC handsets will continue to ship with locked bootloaders; however, they will be unlockable through the HTCDev portal.

Lemon Rasam
Rasam was a staple in my house. Like, am sure, many other South Indian households. However, my grandmother was a Tamilian settled in Karnataka for ages and had adapted the Kannada style of cooking very well. She always made what is popularly known as the Mysore Rasam. It wasn't a delicacy or a specialty in my house. It was regular. So, I initially hated Rasam. Its only lately that I've fallen in love with Rasam and acknowledge its therapeutic properties. When my granny took a break, and my mom cooked, the Rasams she made were Milagu Rasam, Jeera Rasam and Lemon Rasam. Never Mysore Rasam. So, these Rasams were special meals for us :) Now, for A and me, Lemon Rasam is a staple if we cook South Indian food. I love citrusy flavours and A loves traditional South Indian food. So there, this clicked! Every single time that we've entertained with South Indian food, I've made this Rasam and have received only compliments! Frankly, I'm not a great cook. Actually, I never cooked thanks to my grandmother's rules. But with this Rasam, I'm a natural! I called my mom once for the recipe, and since then, this recipe rules, and works out fantastically well every time I make it. Now, enough has been said! Here is the recipe.
1 cup Toor Dal or Pigeon Peas - cooked to a pulp in the pressure cooker or microwave
1 large Lemon
1 Tomato, chopped into chunks
2-3 tbsp ginger chopped, finely. I add more than this, usually ;) (If you don't like ginger, you can remove them later, but DON'T skip the ginger!)
1tbsp Jeera or Cumin
2 tsp turmeric powder
3-5 green chillies, finely chopped
1 tsp ghee
1-2 cups water
A handful of coriander, finely chopped
Salt to taste
1. Cook the Dal or the pigeon peas until mushy.
2. Fry the Jeera/cumin seeds in the ghee. Add the chillies, ginger and the cooked Dal and let it bubble away.
3. Add water to thin the Dal out. You can add as much water as you want to make the Rasam as watery as you want. I like it watery!
4. Add the tomatoes, turmeric and salt, and let the mixture simmer until it comes to a boil. Add more turmeric if this doesn't give you a nice bright yellow colour.
5. Turn off the gas, let it rest for a minute or so, squeeze the juice of one full large lemon into the Rasam. Adjust the lemon juice per your desire for tanginess. I like it tangy :)
6. Add the chopped coriander and serve hot with some rice!
My mom was super smart about leftover Lemon Rasam too. She added onions and thickened the leftovers (they hardly need any thickening coz the liquid part is usually the first to be consumed!) to make Dal for Roti the next day. Since Roti-Dal was quite North Indian for us, that was a treat too!
This recipe goes out to MLLA, hosted by Laurie of Mediterranean Cooking in Alaska and conceptualized by Susan of The Well-Seasoned Cook. and to the Lentil Mela hosted by Ashwini.
Back in India, we drink/eat soup only when we dine out. I don't want to generalize this, but even the concept of a 'three course meal' is quite different than what is perceived here in the U.S. For a lot of Indians, a three course meal consists of three entrees and eating one entree with rice or roti comprises one 'course' ;) Of course, yoghurt or curd (that is the more common term used in India again :) could also be considered as an entree. Rasam in many ways is our soup. So, this one goes out to Lisa of Lisa's Kitchen, the brain and host of No Croutons Required. Literally, in this case ;) Or, or, or, you can dunk some papad in the Rasam like A does, always and slurp them up. There you go, you can have the croutons and eat it too!
But then, this post really goes out to Amma. My Amma. Like I said, I've always neglected to acknowledge my mom. I've fought with her, still fight like crazy with her and disappoint her all the time. However, there have been very few instances that she's disappointed me, and its hardly been a disappointment as I learn now, years later, sitting away from her. She's changed too. She understands me, my feminism, my activism better now, and I appreciate her for that. It takes courage and a lot of love to do this and Amma, thank you for that.
Now Amma, I wish you'd stop asking me to eat well and exercise well. Just eat well will do ;)
P.S. - We are seriously working on our pictures. With lights, angles, background etc etc! Unfortunately, we chose to showcase Rasam in a steel utensil this time. LOL! So, we'd LOVE direct and honest feedback on our pictures going forward. Hey, suggestions and tips will do too! For some entertainment, see how nimble the man is, standing on a chair taking a pic of the Rasam on top of a chair on top of the table :D

I love Rasam. But I have only had rasams with heavy doses of tamarind, asafoetida, red chili powder and curry leaves. This is much different from that. But I guess you will get the sourness that you get from tamarind with the large lemon that you've used. That must be have a great tang!! This one that you've made is very reminiscent of what is commonly made in our Maharashtrian households as Ambat Varan which literally means Sour Dal. We usually add some mustard in the tempering and some freshly grated coconut. I love the pictures. They make me fall in love with the food you make! I'd love to be your guest sometime!

The Rasam looks amazing! Re the pics: they are good, well composed. The next step is a good quality tripod and some lights. The Lowell EGO lights are a good option, not too expensive... but even worklights from home depot with a bit of diffusion or bounce will make your life easier.

I think your pictures look fantastic! And most of all, mouth watring! I love the firt one in the steel bowl. And I love this thali. yum yum yum! Rasams are my favorites, but there is a BIg problem, hubby doesn't like wither lemon or tamarind in the food. I have been going on his nerves (LOL!) with tamarind in food lately. I'm just wondering if you know of some rasam recipe with tomatoes. I think there are recipes with tomatoes as well?
Talking about pictures, i love the first picture of your pasta dish int he previous post. The angle, it looks very yummy withthe grated parmesan!

I had only heard of tomato rasam in my pre-blog life. :D
Have you tried pineapple rasam? I tried it from one of the blogs recently. I guess it's not as traditional as some of the other rasams.
Lemon rasam looks good and I think I should give it a shot.:)

I am so used to rasam with tamarind that this is new to me ( even though I am from Karnataka). Kind of gives me the impression that this might taste like "tavve".
REgarding the pictures, even I have issues while taking them in steel vessels, the scratches stand out in the light. So i prefer glass instead.

Lemon rasam is my all time favorite. I especially love the aroma of the cumine and green chillies frying in the ghee. That's so comforting.

i'd love to make this. lemon rasam is my fav. when you say 'lemon', do you mean lemon as they say in india? the on with the green skin? as in lime as they say in the u.s.? or lemon (the one with the yellow skin) you get in the u.s.?
if you take pics in yellow light at at night, play with the white balance - tungsten or something else on your camera. or use the in-camera flash with a piece o kitchen towel wrapped over it as a diffuser if you have an SLR.

Top fashion moments of 2011 – and what we'll see in 2012
The temptation to make a list is hard to resist at this time of year. But with attention spans considerably shortened by the aftermath of the holidays, we've decided to shorten it from the standard 10 to six – three trends and trendsetters of 2011 and three things to look for in 2012, some national, some local.
We want to kiss you, Kate
Thank you, Catherine Middleton, for proving that you don't have to go all Gaga to make a style statement worth emulating. From your perfect wedding gown to the way you wore affordable frocks from Reiss, it was refreshing to see a young woman so self-possessed and dare we say it, proper. You looked both gorgeous and appropriately dressed for everything from trips to the grocery store to royal visits to the U.S. and Canada. Please continue.

Last World War II Comanche Code Talker Laid to Rest
By Rudi Williams, American Forces Press Service
Washington D.C. -- (AFPS)
July 29, 2005 -- When Charles "Charlie" J. Chibitty, the last World War II
Comanche code talker, was buried July 26, a friend wrote in the eulogy,
"Charlie's life has no foreshadowing or ending. As long as wind blows, his life
and legacy will continue to twist and turn along courses only wild horses know."
Charles Chibitty (Photo by Rudi Williams)
Chibitty died July 20 in Tulsa, Okla. He was 83. He was invited to the
Pentagon three times -- in 1992, 1999 and 2002 -- in honor of his service to the
nation as a World War II code talker. He, along with 16 other Comanche Indians,
was part of an Army company of code talkers who befuddled the Germans during the
invasion of the beaches of Normandy, France.
Charles Chibitty with Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld at the
Pentagon (Photo by Rudi Williams)
During his 2002 Pentagon visit, Chibitty said his unit hit Utah Beach in
Normandy "the first or second day after D-Day." His first radio message was sent
to another code talker on an incoming boat. Translated into English, it said: "Five
miles to the right of the designated area and five miles inland, the fighting is
fierce and we need help."
"We were trying to let them know where we were so they wouldn't lob no shells on
us," he explained with a chuckle. "I was with the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the
4th Infantry Division. We talked Indian and sent messages when need be. It was
quicker to use telephones and radios to send messages, because Morse code had to
be decoded and the Germans could decode them. We used telephones and radios to
talk Indian, then wrote it in English and gave it to the commanding officer."
The Comanche Indians frustrated enemy code breakers by translating Army messages
into their native language. The enemy never broke the code.
Chibitty enlisted in the Army in January 1941. He earned the World War II
Victory Medal, European Theater of Operations Victory Medal with five bronze
stars, Europe-African Middle East Campaign Medal and the Good Conduct Medal. In
1989, the French government honored the Comanche code talkers by presenting them
the Chavalier of the National Order of Merit.
He was presented the Knowlton Award, created by the Military Intelligence
Association, in 1995 to recognize significant contributions to military efforts.
In April 2003, Chibitty attended the dedication ceremony for a monument to
Choctaw and Comanche code talkers of World War I and World War II at Camp
Beuregard in Pineville, La., where he trained during World War II. When he
visited the Pentagon in 1992, then-Defense Secretary Dick Cheney presented him a
certificate of appreciation for his service to the country. Chibitty also
received a special proclamation from the governor of Oklahoma, who honored him
for his contributions to that state and the nation.
When Chibitty visited the Pentagon in November 2002, he donned his feathered
Indian chief's headgear and offered a prayer in the Pentagon Chapel for those
killed in the terrorist attack on the building. The aging World War II code
talker then went to nearby Arlington National Cemetery and placed a wreath and
offered an Indian prayer at the Tomb of the Unknowns. His 2002 visit included a
meeting with Defense SecretaryDonald H. Rumsfeld. Before returning home to
Tulsa, Chibitty spent some time with researchers at the U.S. Army Center for
Military History for oral history sessions.
"Laying the wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns really meant a lot to him,"
Chibitty's adopted daughter, Carrie V. Wilson of Fayetteville, Ariz., said
during a telephone interview.
"When he talked about his code talking days, he always said he wished that all
the other code talkers could have gotten the awards, attention and recognition
that he did," said Wilson, a cultural resource consultant. "But by the time they
really recognized the Comanche code talkers, most of them were dead.
"He never thought about any of the awards without thinking about all the others
who had gone before him," Wilson noted. Pointing out that Chibitty was a
traditional Comanche speaker, Wilson said his death is a huge loss to the
Comanche community. "He tried to teach Comanche to whomever showed an interest
in it," she noted.
"He was a big powwow Indian, and he took me into his family more than 35 years
ago," said Wilson, a Quapaw Indian, who is a former Miss Indian Oklahoma and a
Quapaw tribal princess. "He adopted me, and put his daughter's clothes on me,
and took me out to a big powwow in Tulsa. He told everybody that he gave me
permission to wear Comanche clothes because he'd taken me into his family as his
Wilson said she has many fond memories of Chibitty, including going to powwow
dances with him and his brother. Both of them were nationally known for their
Indian championship dancing. "When he and his brother and other Comanches came
out onto the dance floor, they looked like royalty," she said. "They were always
recognized in the Indian community as championship dancers.
"We'd laugh and tease, and he was always fun to be around," Wilson said. "But an
important thing is that he was always there for anyone who needed help, whether
they had problems with drinking or just needed someone to talk to. He was always
available to listen to them and give advice, or be a friend.
"Every night before he went to bed, he'd sit on the edge of his bed and pray,"
she noted. "He was a very sincere person. He knew what war was about and how
precious life is. And, he believed that education is one of the most important
Chibitty's son, a promising attorney, was killed in a car accident in 1982, and
his daughter died about 10 years later, Wilson said. "After that, his wife died,"
she noted. "So my role as a daughter became more real. Before his wife died, she
told me to take care of him - I tried."
In addition to Wilson, Chibitty is survived by two grandsons, Chebon Chibitty
and Acey Chibitty, and another adopted daughter, Lacey Chibitty, who reside in
Tulsa. He also leaves behind a number of nieces and nephews.
Musical tributes included the Kricket Rhoads Connywerdy, Comanche Sovo drum,
Comanche hymns at the graveside. Chibitty was given full military honors,
including a 21-gun salute by the Fort Sill Honor Team.
"They sang the Comanche code talkers' song, which is a beautiful song, as they
were putting him into the ground," Wilson said. The Comanche Indian Veterans
Association, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 577, American Legion Post 1, Masonic
Rights and Millennium Lodge 543 attended his funeral.

In celebration of Easter, my family decided to put up a special temporary Cache in celebration of Easter. Every (first 225) Geocachers gets something. Weve put together 225 Easter goodie bags with a little something for everyone of all ages.
The Cache is located just off the road at the end of a now defunct driveway. The home owners there have given permission, and wont bother you if you dont bother them. Easy parking right in front of the Cache. The cache is categorized as large, but Id say its huge. Its very easy to find. You cant miss it. Really.
Inside the Cache is a log on top of a treasure chest. The treasure chest contains little goodie packets for EVERY person who comes. Each packet contains chocolate eggs (yes, real chocolate, we didnt cheap out), bubble gum, life savers, silly bands, erasers, COINS, and some pamphlets about Easter cheer. Please take a packet for EACH person on your team. We dont want to be stuck with leftovers.
If you would like to leave travel bugs for us to circulate for you, please feel free to do so. Please dont leave anything else since this cache is only temporary. If you want to pick up one of the travel bugs left behind and help circulate them, please feel free to do so.
Well probably be taking it in late at night so that the animals dont get to it, but well try to have it out around 7AM keep it out until 9 or 10PM. Well also try to have some lights out there, but bring a flashlight if you are coming when its dark. The Cache will be out on the Saturday before Easter, and well leave it up for several weeks.
Our family really enjoyed putting this Cache together. We hope you and your family enjoys finding it and enjoys the treats as well. Happy Caching!
The posting should publish on Saturday. We'll actually have it completely up by mid-morning.

The One Day Project
I posted this last week to joefoleyphotography.com, but since i've probably got more readers over here i'm re-posting. please take a look and consider becoming part of this project and doing something small to help people who desperately need..
Sunday, February 21st we'll be taking pictures that we hope will make a difference. Maybe not in the lives of the people we're shooting (though we hope they'll like the portraits we make) but in the lives of people we can't shoot. The earthquake in Haiti hit a little closer to home than we'd expected it to and we found ourselves looking for a way to help. We're not doctors or nurses or search & rescue experts. We can't fly there and rebuild houses ourselves.
What we can to do is to help raise some badly needed money for the people that are their now and can do that work that needs to be done.
So what does this mean to you, and what is The One Day Project? If you make a donation to Oxfam then we'll make a portrait of you for you to use as your profile picture on facebook, linked in, or any other social networking sites. We're giving the 21st of February to work on this project. Please make a donation and head over to the booking form to let us know you're coming.
And if you want to come by and help keep the day running smoothly, let us know

No Colorado teams advance out of Region IV youth soccer championships
Colorado will not be represented at the U.S. Youth Soccer National Championships in July, as the state didn't have a team advance out of the Farwest Regional Championships this weekend.
The Pride Soccer Club did have two teams reach the finals — in the under-15 and under-19 girls divisions — but both lost in their respective championship games.
Last year, the state sent two teams to nationals.
Here's how all the Colorado teams fared at the Farwest Regional Championships in Phoenix:

I'm not sure where to post this, but here goes:
I'm trying to understand how a binary file (.DAT) generally works. I'm using a hex editor do this. I understand most of the file, however I'm stuck with this timestamp problem. I'm 100% sure that a part of this hex is the actual timestamp:
On screen, it outputs: 9/4/2009 5:22Code:e1 27 17 6f e6 69 c0 00 e1 27 18 65 10 84 ef
Note: it's DD/MM/YYYY formatted.
I've tried conversions (hex->decimal->timestamp) but no luck so far.. none of the results match the one that I've just posted above.
Any idea? Do I need to swap certain bytes or...? Or are we 100% sure that this is the actual timestamp?
Thanks in advance.

International Conference & Exposition
Held every year, this event is hosted for those looking to expand their knowledge
about the workplace and how to optimize performance. ASTD2009 features experienced guests to help guide you to improve your work ethic and communicate more effectively.
The ASTD2009 Speakers
This year's speakers include some of the world's leading experts on workplace performance and learning. ASTD's day one keynote speaker Denard Stone has recently performed an insightful study on the effectiveness of taking an online defensive driving course. Among the findings from the study, Stone discovered that students of online traffic school websites--like this Texas defensive driving school--retained more information when websites used video formats and short, easily digestible paragraphs. In his keynote address, Stone will explain how his findings about this Texas online traffic school and others can be applied to workplace education techniques.
Optimizing Real Estate Agencies
Real estate agents focusing on the listing and selling of houses for a living may find current market conditions challenging but also know that opportunities are abound. There are many homes for sale throughout the country and, with the help of the internet, these Houses for sale and a long list of potential customers are accessible from literally anywhere in the world.
The real estate industry is going through vast changes because of this instant online access to both buyers and sellers of houses. The competition is stiff and every advantage to increasing one's sales efficiency is worth pursuing. Attending conferences designed to improve one's daily work ethic and to learn to become a more effective communicator can go a long way to boosting profitability as a sales agent. Hard work and dedication are instrumental to success in real estate sales and these traits can be taught and learned.
How Content Creation Services Will Optimize Your Business
At ASTD2009, a panel will be held on the advantages of hiring a content creation service to optimize your business' workplace. Bringing copywriters in-house is expensive and unnecessary when there are companies out there like eCopywriters. Many successful small businesses and agencies have used eCopywriter's network of professional grade copywriters to produce powerful content including press releases, SEO content, website copywriting, blogging services and more.
Best of all, their services do not cost a fortune; eCopywriters will work with you to accomodate your business' monthly budget and ultimately save you the costs of hiring additional employees. Clients can even choose which professional copywriter they want aligned with their project -- one with an interest or degree in the needed industry. For copywriting services that get results and save businesses thousands of dollars, look no further than eCopywriters.

ASTD Conference Helps Businesses Improve Sales
The ASTD International Conference and Exposition, held every year, is hosted to help everyone from entrepreneurs to small businesses and more gain knowledge of how to optimize performance and enhance workflow. Guest speakers at the conference are there to help attendees communicate more effectively and improve their work ethic, while at the same time helping build up their business. The key term in today's Internet-based business world is optimization. The way to get optimized is through content creation and the use of a Houston SEO company such as Zizinya Web Solutions.
Search engine optimization, or SEO, is a term that is now used synonymously with increased Web traffic as well as increased sales numbers. Through content created specifically to improve search engine rankings as well as provide potential clients or customers with better quality information, businesses can stand to make vast improvements in their area of business. Even real estate markets can benefit from the right Houston SEO company. Since there are so many homes on the market, more than there have ever been, Web optimization may be the only truth path toward reaching the right market and getting the sales required for those homes.
Content creation is the most important part of any optimization strategy, and the ASTD Conference provides numerous guests and speakers that will address just how to go about it all. In order to have a successful website and improve on overall business ethics and strategies, optimization should be the main focus.
Getting Advice From a Criminal Attorney
A criminal lawyer can provide you with a lot of detailed information on how to handle a particular situation. At the law office of Shahin Zamir, we believe that everyone should gain as much knowledge about a situation as possible. Often the only way that anyone will be able to overcome a scenario is with knowledge and communication.
You will need to tell an attorney everything that is going on in order to get the right advice. If you leave anything out, even the best attorney may inadvertently provide incorrect or misleading information.
When you or someone you know has been charged with a crime, it can be a very scary situation. Being able to know more about the situation will help you. You can get the advice you need from an attorney to decide if you need a lawyer and how to proceed.
If you choose the law office of Shahin Zamir, we will require that you communicate openly with us. This way we can advise you in the best possible way. Whether you hire us as your attorney or not, you must get your advice from somewhere.
Choosing an attorney for your advice should be done carefully. Take a look at the crime that you are inquiring about and then find a lawyer with that specialty. A criminal lawyer may not specialize in every crime out there. Since there are a significant number of laws surrounding each type of crime, it's important to do some shopping around.

Wonder if yesterday's coffee shop blind had anything to do with it. Anyway, looks like I'm gonna get my shot!
And Jennifer Saunders is...who?
thank you Laura, I'm off to google her!
thank you Laura, I'm off to google her!
@Dragon Good point. Looks like its a Duff Dump weekend.
If Hillary is single now, I hope her mom still reads this site and puts the word in for me. I'm quite charming, good with kids and know my way around a broad's undercarriage. She will need a "sow her wild oats" rebound relationship that comes with caring and understanding. I had a bad break up myself a few years ago, so I know what she is going through.
Get me in their, Ma.
@Kristin: I dont know if she is that hot. A whole weekend of Duff Dumping? Id have to pass.
@Harry and Count. LMAO.
💕 Jennifer Saunders is the best, love her!
Camille looks ridiculous.
Jennifer Saunders is Absolutely Fabulous!
C'mon you know someone was going to do it...;)
Don't forget this isn't Jay-Z's first kid. The other kid also looks like him.
Courts look loaded. At least 1 of them looks like they're having fun. Britney - poor girl she's gonna be locked•keyed til she dies.
Duff-dumping doesn't sound appealing...need more shh-piceyyy.
Sad for Duff, they've got a toddler.
@Paint Chips - i am generally happy to join in the Camille bashing, but if it's true that she just finished her chemo, the mask is quite necessary to keep her weakened system safe. I know you can say she could just stay at home.. but I guess it gets bloody boring after a while :)
@ Ginger…..poor thing sure does
Keeping it classy by taking a swipe at Camille, who just finished treatment for cancer. Ditto what L said.
I'm loving Emilia Clarke's boots.
Richard Madden's girlfriend had better watch her back!
O/T but I see Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie officially split
Nice to see you heading up the photos today! ;)
L - I had no idea she had cancer, seriously I thought it had to do with the awful flu going around. Which, of course would be a big concern of her right now.
I've loved Jennifer Saunders forever. I remember when MTV would air the French & Saunders show after The Young Ones. Those were the days, man.
Thanks @Jacq! But that's my boo Edina, I'm Patsy. :)
Hillary Duff I live on a beach and dont want you for your money! :)
That's a far better picture of Emily (as opposed to yesterday's) - good to see her bump is sizeable!
What was the point of closing that bird park for Blue Ivy's birthday when she won't even remember it? Better to save stuff like that for when she's a bit older and CAN remember it (listen up, all celebrity parents who do the same thing).
Courteney Cox's beauty has disappeared under all those fillers and botox. Sad.
Britney looks ... Stepforded! :-(
Well, at least baby Blue will have money.
Surfer & L, surgical masks do not work that way. The particles they prevent are larger contaminants like pollen, dust and airborne dirt. They offer almost no protection against pathogens and viruses.
If Camille (and every Asian I see wearing masks in public) was concerned about transmission of infectious or immunological diseases, they'd be wearing sealed respirators, not face masks.
Yoo hoo Kristin, sandyboo, you guys up? I have a snuggy, wine and a fully charged phone!
Jennifer Saunders who?? & she gets the top spot? Maybe I'm just dense. Lol.
How do you forget to put on shoes? It's like when a dumb tv character "forgets" to put on pants. Either its intentional or Courtney has lost it again.
enty was busy today.
Ab Fab!
Sweetie. Darhling. Ok? Ok?
Everyone go watch Ab Fab now. And Joanna Lumley in Wolf of Wall Street? So great!!
Blue looks just like her daddy...maybe she'll grow out of it...
Brit Brit, poor thing. Her handlers need to just leave her in peace. I know we all want a real Brit Brit come back, but it's not gonna happen people!!
Little Blue doesn't look a thing like Beyonce does she?
Women seriously need to stop wearing pants like Brit Brit in public. It is not attractive.
Speak fer yer self, Alexa.
Please people Ab Fab is legendary, sweetie darling!
For those who don't know who the comedic giant that is Jennifer Saunders is, I'll give you the Coles notes version.
English comic who did very successful sketch comedy show with the equally talented Dawn French, called French and Saunders. Youtube it. You WILL laugh. Went on to do Absolutely Fabulous with Joanna Lumley who both created the iconic characters of Edina Monsoon and Patsy Stone. YOutube that as well, and you will glued to your seat for hours.
Dawn and Jen also did a little 6 episode show called Let Them Eat Cake, set in Versailles which was an hilarious parody of the pre-revolutionary French Court. They didn't write or create the show, but they still managed to bring their own brand of humour to it, and I loved. All 6 episodes are on Youtube.
Lastly, Jennifer recently recovered from cancer (which was why I was giving a side about the pic of her with a fag) and has a book out now called Bonkers, which I am desperate to get my hands on.
Oh, and last but not least, recently she was on a British talk show with Robert Dinero, Michelle Pheiffer and Cher and managed to hold her own amongst those stars. That too is also on Youtube.
I LOVE her, and was so glad to see Enty gave her the top spot.
I have seen it, but never been a big watcher. I didn't realize they're both blonde. The avatar is tiny on my phone (and obviously my eyes are shot)!
Britney's hair color is dreadful.
I just love Richard Madden, he is gorgeous and if he were single, he is definite upgrade over Ryan Phillpe. I'd like to think he is very faithful to Jenna Coleman.
@Count, I should have known men find those pants attractive. Guess as a female it is way more than I care to see.
Brit looks drugged.
But so does Courtney.
Different drugs though.
I like Emily Blunt's style & I'm jealous that she lives & sleeps with John Krasinski.
I noticed that too!
Word. He is darling.

The Stability Ball Flab-Fighting Workout
Do more than crunches on your stability ball. These flab-fighting exercises will work muscles from head to toe.
Alex Palombo
Exercises for the Stability Ball
There's one cool tool you could be using to fight flab all over, but chances are you're not. "The stability ball is an underrated piece of equipment because people think it's good only for doing crunches," says Nedra Lopez, a coowner of Studio by Remorca Fitness in New York City. Try her game-changing toners on the next page and you'll be so pumped at the results that you may never hit the mat again.

Features and benefits
SKF roller bearing units share some of the following features and benefits:
SKF roller bearing units are assembled, greased and ready-to-mount, saving time and reducing the risk of contaminating or damaging the bearing during installation.
Simple mounting
The bearing units can be used with commercial grade shafts and are located easily on the shaft by tightening the set (grub) screws in the mounting collar or locking collar.
Stiff housing
The housing base is reinforced with ribs and the area around the attachment bolt holes is strengthened to minimize the risk of cracking caused by over-tightening the attachment bolts (fig. 1).
Easy replacement
With SKF inch roller bearing units, logistics costs are reduced as there is only one part to order, store and mount.

Classic summer gloves from TUCANO URBANO. The GIG glove comes in the retro look with perforated leather on the palm and knuckles. 100% leather, the separate grooved sections on the fingers and double seams leave nothing to be desired. This glove has a relatively small fit, so it is worth ordering one size bigger than normal.

By now the world is aware that the oceans are dying a silent death because of coastal development, pollution, overfishing and climate change. Scientists know how to halt or reverse the chronic threats, but in the political arena they have faced defeat after defeat in trying to implement management that actually works. We need a radical shift away from the piecemeal regulation of small areas that has resulted. We need comprehensive zoning of the world's oceans.
Across the globe, it is clear which marine areas are the most important to protect. Estuaries, coastal wetlands, reefs, submarine mountains and food-rich water flows are among the critical habitats that support wide swaths of the ocean's ecology. But current governance does not allow us to use management tools and policy instruments in a systematic, holistic way. Zoning would.
Some countries have established a few isolated zones, mainly marine "protected areas." But these are mere dots on the vast ocean. Comprehensive zoning would address whole ecosystems. It would also improve public understanding and reduce conflicts, by displaying in a clear, graphic way which human actions are appropriate where.
Zoning is simple, straightforward, systematic and strategic. It results in regional maps, in which every watery space is categorized for a particular use or array of uses—from commercial activities to recreational ones, including strictly protected areas that are virtually off-limits. The first step is to identify ecologically vital areas with a high concentration of important processes, such as the delivery of nutrients to plankton and algae that underlie the entire marine food chain. Then one must assess threats to those services and impose zones that prohibit harmful activity while permitting other uses at sustainable levels, such as recreational fishing, aquaculture or tourism.
One example is the multiuse plan that my colleagues and I developed for Asinara, a small island near Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea. Another example is the recent declaration by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council to close off to commercial fishing all waters along the western and northern coasts of Alaska, stretching out for 200 nautical miles. Australia has established the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, a large, multiple-use protected area. Comprehensive ocean zoning would create a coherent, global system that clarifies the rights and responsibilities of governments and other stakeholders.
Zoning cannot simply be imposed from the top; that will only cause a huge backlash. A participatory process will generate acceptance; we already zone on land with little angst, by clearly defining who has authority over what, covering private and public lands in a contiguous mosaic. National governments would zone territorial seas and waters in their "exclusive economic zones," but areas beyond would be zoned by countries cooperating under regional frameworks (which, by the way, would help rectify the lawless nature of these commons).
Real leadership is needed to initiate a worldwide process. Work could begin within the United Nations Environment Program's Regional Seas Program or the U.N. Commission on Sustainable Development's high seas group. National agencies, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the U.S.—especially now with Jane Lubchenko at the helm—could also set up working groups. Unless organizations around the world bravely take the lead soon, we may have no way to correct the ineffective tack we find ourselves on today.
Note: This article was originally printed with the title, "It's Time for Ocean Zoning."

Female Masculinity
Duke University Press, 1998 - 329 pages
Masculinity without men. In Female Masculinity Judith Halberstam takes aim at the protected status of male masculinity and shows that female masculinity has offered a distinct alternative to it for well over two hundred years. Providing the first full-length study on this subject, Halberstam catalogs the diversity of gender expressions among masculine women from nineteenth-century pre-lesbian practices to contemporary drag king performances.
Through detailed textual readings as well as empirical research, Halberstam uncovers a hidden history of female masculinities while arguing for a more nuanced understanding of gender categories that would incorporate rather than pathologize them. She rereads Anne Lister's diaries and Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness as foundational assertions of female masculine identity. She considers the enigma of the stone butch and the politics surrounding butch/femme roles within lesbian communities. She also explores issues of transsexuality among "transgender dykes"--lesbians who pass as men--and female-to-male transsexuals who may find the label of "lesbian" a temporary refuge. Halberstam also tackles such topics as women and boxing, butches in Hollywood and independent cinema, and the phenomenon of male impersonators.
Female Masculinity signals a new understanding of masculine behaviors and identities, and a new direction in interdisciplinary queer scholarship. Illustrated with nearly forty photographs, including portraits, film stills, and drag king performance shots, this book provides an extensive record of the wide range of female masculinities. And as Halberstam clearly demonstrates, female masculinity is not some bad imitation of virility, but a lively and dramatic staging of hybrid and minority genders.

In a digital world, productivity is our number one priority. With today's internet professionals no longer being plagued by inefficient hourly work and set office hours, the burden of working hard is now entirely on us.
As such, we're presented with two opportunities.
The first is to work at the slow and steady office pace and see our net pay massively decrease. The second is to work at the maximum possible speed, use selective productivity tricks and work-style changes, and earn an income that's proportionally greater than it ever was before.
The only way to achieve this ideal work goal is to invest some time in a personal productivity system.
Your system doesn't have to be ultra-optimized or scientifically backed, it just has to be something that works well for you.
Whether that means shaving a couple of hours off your daily work period and making up for it with an increase in work intensity or spending more time each day on learning and research doesn't matter.
What matters is that you see some big benefits from it. Craft your personal productivity system around your goals, not around the desired results of other people. If you want to devote some time each day to reading, shape your work around times that allow you to read when you want to.
It's important to remember that productivity isn't about minimizing the time that you spend on your work. Great productivity is about creating a work system that allows you to live the life that you want. That's what a personal productivity system is all about.
Create your system to work around what you love doing, maximize the output of what's most important to you, and allow you to balance your workload and your lifestyle to the degree that you need.
Don't ever think that you need a personal productivity system built for someone else. Just build it for yourself.

"This is magic!" —Diana Gabaldon
"Excellent . . . a finely wrought portrait of Alice that seamlessly blends fact with fiction. This is book club gold."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A seamless tale of love, loss, and myth . . . storytelling at its finest."—Sarah Addison Allen, author of The Girl Who Chased the Moon
"A smashing tale—mostly true—of the overlap of childhood and womanhood, a compelling mystery, an exposé of Victorian mores, an exploration of love that came too soon and too late, an explosive trail of emotions and human foibles, a heartbreak—written with compassion and grace: I loved it!" —Susan Vreeland, author of Clara and Mr. Tiffany
"The novel doesn't just fill in the blanks of a literary life, but tells the story of someone who was more than a muse; Alice may have been immortalized as a girl but, as Benjamin imagines, she grew up to be a great woman."—New York Post

Inter travel south to Sassuolo on Sunday keen to pile more misery on one of Serie A's newest teams with a fourth win of the season.
New coach Walter Mazzarri has turned things around at San Siro following a disappointing 2012-13 campaign, with Inter having picked up two wins and a draw from their opening three matches.
Serie B champions Sassuolo, meanwhile, are looking to claim their first point of the season when the two sides go head-to-head at the Tricolore.
Eusebio Di Francesco's side have lost all three of their games so far – including two against sides with whom they were promoted at the end of last season.
But, while Inter go into the game as strong favourites, the club's president Massimo Moratti has urged caution from his side.
"Inter are the team who have to play against Sassuolo, a side new to Serie A brimming with enthusiasm," he said.
"They're an opponent we should fear because results are never decided in advance and often you find that the emotional factor makes a big difference in games.
"I know we have a coach capable of instilling the right level of focus in the players. That's something Mazzarri is very good at and I'd like to see the same level of quality, strength and determination that we saw against Juventus."
Inter come into the game having earned a hard-fought point against defending champions Juventus last time out, whereas Sassuolo suffered a defeat to Verona.
Rodrigo Palacio leads the scoring charts for Mazzarri's side with two goals, while new signing Mauro Icardi struck the opening goal of the game against Juventus.
But it is in defence where the new coach appears to have had the biggest influence, with his back three of Jonathan, Juan and Andrea Ranocchia having only conceded one goal so far.
Di Francesco will be looking to experienced players such Reto Ziegler, Marcello Gazzola and Antonio Floro Flores to take the lead following his side's poor start.
And, while the early strugglers will be without Emanuele Terranova, Luca Marrone and Alberto Aladje could be fit to return.
For Inter, the only concern is Ranocchia who picked up a knock against Juventus, although he should be fit enough to play.
