The past week has been all about Project Kitchen Clean-up. I mean a good, thorough clean-up to give the kitchen a fresh start.
[And no, I don't mean cleaning the kitchen floors. Helo does more than a stellar job of that - you'd be hard pressed to find even a single morsel of food anywhere on the kitchen floor. He has chased down every rolling pea, pounced on every fruit bit that made contact with the floor, lapped up any liquid that splattered on the vinyl and made quick work of all the crusty bread crumbs that so often carpet our kitchen floor. Talk about efficiency!]
No, this clean-up was about emptying out our ridiculously over stuffed pantry and getting rid of food that was left forgotten at the back of the fridge. You know, like the pomegranate molasses I made a few months ago? Like the vat of strawberry sauce just sitting out on the middle shelf? Like the gazillion different cans of veggies, fruits and beans that looked so delectable when I bought them but shelved them as soon as I got home?
Seriously, my pantry is out of control. There isn't even room for a box of Altoids.
Getting back to Project Kitchen Clean-up, my first target was the old rice in the fridge. Now, that was just begging to be converted to fried rice and so, I obliged!
The recipe is based on the classic poha from vahrevah but I added coconut and shrimp because I wanted to shake things up! The classic South Indian flavors of curry leaves with mustard seeds, cumin and asafoetida made for a unique fried rice – so different from the Chinese and Thai ones we are used to having! It tasted of warm spices, succulent shrimp and was fragrant with the coconut and curry leaves.
Why don't you try it the next time you have some left over rice?
Here is the recipe -
South Indian style shrimp fried rice
Serves 3-4
1 tbsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
4 dried whole red chillies
20 curry leaves
1/2 cup shredded dessicated coconut
1/4 cup dahlia
1 tbsp urad wash
1 large onion, sliced thinly
2 jalapenos, finely diced
pinch of turmeric
1/2 tsp asafoetida
1 lemon, juiced
3 cups cooked rice ( at least a day old)
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
handful of roasted peanuts
20 medium shrimp ( I used cooked frozen ones that I thawed)
Salt, to taste
Vegetable oil
1) Heat oil in a big pot or wok. On medium heat add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, dried chillies, curry leaves, coconut, dahlia and the urad wash. Stir until everything is cooked.
2) Add the onions, jalapenos, asafoetida, salt and turmeric. Stir until the onions are cooked through and translucent.
3) Add the lemon juice and stir well. Add the rice and mix well. Add the shrimp and peanuts at this point and quickly mix it in. Remember, the shrimp are already cooked, so you don't want to over cook it! ( If using raw shrimp, then you would need to saute it after the onions are cooked through and before you add in the rice).
4) Garnish with the chopped cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Your favorite summertime soundtracks?
It's a beautiful sunny first-day-of-summer here in Seattle (happy Solstice, all!), and KEXP is playing the Magic Numbers "Love Me Like You" from their self-titled release, a snappy sweet blast of sunshiny goodness if I've ever heard it, and a song that always makes me long for summertime.
The Go Go's Beauty and the Beat has the same effect for me.
Which got me thinking.... we need your imaginary input again! This time, we want to hear about: What records get you in the mood for driving-down-the-road-with-the-windows-down-and-the-volume-cranked-up-summertime-fun???
If we get enough votes, perhaps I will attempt to find an online tool for an official imaginary poll on the topic, based on the nominees!
1 Erik Gonzalez said on June 21, 2007
Almost anything by the Push Kings. Or Tullycraft.
2 veronica said on June 21, 2007
I second the nomination for Tullycraft, especially "Beat Surf Fun."
3 Powerpop-Gary said on June 21, 2007
For me it's the first B-52s release. I spent many a mid-1980s summertime afternoon cruising around in my sister's brown Reliant K blasting that cassette.
That would've been right around the time this happened (even though it's from a different record):
4 imaginary-kiku said on June 21, 2007
I have a sunny day walk mix! Because I cannot drive yet!
We Are The Sleepyheads - Belle and Sebastian
The Birds and the Bees - Patrick and Eugene
Spectacular Views - Rilo Kiley
Popsickle - Starlight Mints
Pretty Eyes - Mirah
The Nature Anthem - Granddaddy
5 imaginary dana said on June 21, 2007
Oh Kiku, that's so CUTE!!!
Kevin Cole has gotten in on the Solstice summer song fun, and is taking requests on KEXP right now. Current song: "Hot Fun in the Summertime."
6 michael alan goldberg said on June 21, 2007
anything by supergrass
7 Levi said on June 21, 2007
I always go for Archer Prewitt's In the Sun, a perfect summer record if ever there was one.
8 Brett said on June 21, 2007
You can't go wrong with the Dazed and Confused soundtrack. It will always remind me of the last day of school.
9 jono said on June 21, 2007
I've had Pharcyde's "summertime" in my head the last few days, I think I'll email a request to Kevin!
10 Deb said on June 21, 2007
The first two Fountains of Wayne albums always get thrown into my roadtripping cycle, with heavier play on the self-titled. Can't stand their new pop crap, though.
11 Tim Hanken said on June 21, 2007
I can't believe this is the 10th comment and no one has said "Summertime" by DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince. It is THE summer song.
12 jono said on June 21, 2007
I mentioned Pharcyde's "summertime" (pharcyde..sublime... whatever..), but actually just remembered an even better Pharcyde summer song:
13 Nicci said on June 21, 2007
I'm going with anything by the B-52's and The Beatles. 'Good Day Sunshine' & 'Here Comes the Sun' are musts!
14 imaginary char said on June 21, 2007
The All Girl Summer Fun Band!
15 saundrah said on June 21, 2007
This is a little embarrassing and shows my age...but my summer guilty pleasure song to listen to in the car with the windows down is Don Henley's Boys of Summer..
16 ginajulia said on June 21, 2007
Well, of course, there's "Soul Meets Body" by Death Cab... but I also like this new east side band called Isenheart. It's all summmery and happy and golden and full of love.
17 diana said on June 21, 2007
i've put a ridiculous amount of thought into this (read: my friend and i made 5 CDs worth of summer music); here are some excerpts
the shins - phantom limb
the monkees - daydream believer
LFO - summer girls
polaris - hey sandy
the lightning seeds - change
third eye blind - semi-charmed life OR never let you go
18 Phil said on June 21, 2007
Okay, I noticed that no one has any butt rock out there, so just to be unique, here goes - Def Leppard's Pyromania.
19 michael alan goldberg said on June 21, 2007
Oh yeah, two groups that i've always associated with summer, for some reason, are Luna (especially "Bewitched") and A Tribe Called Quest (especially "Midnight Marauders").
Also: Super Furry Animals, Gay Dad, and Pat Benatar.
20 greggoir said on June 22, 2007
Come summer, I always have 2 l.p.'s that I will listen to without fail. If I don't listen to them, summer officially doesn't happen:
the Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
the Ataris - Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits [don't laugh]
21 Joseph Riippi said on June 22, 2007
I'm driving down to North Carolina after work today with an old bandmate for the Smashing Pumpkins shows at the Orange Peel in Asheville. 12 hours, and all we're bringing (as is the typical for these long, ill-conceived road trips) is Tom Waits' early stuff, Amon Tobin, and the Allman Brothers.
The greatest summertime road trip song of all time is Tom Waits' "Ol' 55"--with the windows down, the A/C off, and all the freeways, cars, and trucks.
22 Aimee said on June 22, 2007
Warmer Corners by The Lucksmiths is one of my favorite summer albums...
23 jen said on June 22, 2007
I always listen to The Halo Benders The Rebels Not In on the first day it hits 70 degrees outside. Automatic For The People is good for sticky summer nights.
24 greggoir said on June 22, 2007
Agreed Jen, especially the second side. 'Find the River' is the night-time summer anthem
25 josh bomb said on June 22, 2007
so far this summer i have been super rockin portland homeboy, YACHT's new album, I Believe In You, Your Magic Is Real.
a recent discovery to me, but loving it from last year, this year's summer jam album: Light In The Attic's Jamaica to Toronto: Soul, Funk & Reggae compilation
also, my mp3 driving cross country with the windows down jam of the summer, lindsay buckingham - holiday road (click here to download)
love you ladies,
26 Rick G said on June 22, 2007
Rick's Mid-June All Summer Fun Mix:
1. TIDAL WAVE / Apples In Stereo
Because let's face it: Everything AIS does is hilarious and happy and makes you hyper and happy.
2. HOW MANY TIMES / Beatnik Termites
Every single Beatnik Termites song sounds like the soundtrack to a punk rock Annette Funicello movie. And that's a good thing.
3. BEEP BEEP / The Automatics
Not summer-specific, but a minute-and-a-half of cuteness, and a good transition to...
4. WILD SUMMER WOW! / Bunnygrunt
Of course, anything by Bunnygrunt is summer-perfect, but this has the wa-waoo that goes well with something cute like lemonade.
5. EXTRA-ORDINARY / Dressy Bessy
Again, not specifically summer, but great and a good way to transition to...
6. PEAQUOD / The Hi-Fives
I dare you to listen to this while driving. You WILL step on it, while bouncing up and down and singing along. And while you're at it:
7. I NEED A VACATION / The Smugglers
Somewhere between the crazy bassline and the backing vocals and the, "I JUST WANNA GO / ALL OVER THE WORLD!", this song actually equals summertime.
8. BANNED FROM TEEN ARTS / None More Black
Because really, it can't all be cute. And "I was born in New Jersey" is just fun to sing along with.
9. MUTANT OUTRAGE / The Truents
At this point the mix has gone from cute to upbeat and singalong-y, so this goes in just to keep the energy level up. Plus, wow, what a great two-minute song (though the wanky guitar part in the middle kinda stinks)
10. FOR THE GIRL / The Fratellis
la la la la la-la-la-la LA! Don't fall for that 'Flathead' nonsense. This is far and away the best tune on that album, and perfect for driving fast(er)
11. AFTER MIDNIGHT / Thee Milkshakes
Since we're in the semi-lo-fi part of the mix, in goes the bounciest, happiest Billy Childish song ever.
12. WITHOUT YOU / The Exploding Hearts
There's just a hint on some kind of keys in there, and despite this entire album making me kinda sad, this is awfully summetime. Plus, they mention Seattle.
13. WILD BIKINI / Tullycraft
Let's face it: Just about anything by Tullycraft is perfect for summertime-slash-driving, but any song that includes "Dashboard light martinis" is the Best Song Ever.
14. LAST PLACE YOU LOOK / Get Up Kids
So yeah, suddenly the mix takes a weird left turn. From the cute to the sorta-morose, but this song (like so many GUK songs) is all about going and coming back and winter and next year and really, it just has to go on there.
15. I JUST DO / Go Sailor
So yeah, "Last Year" would compliment the last song more ("The smell of January makes me think of / This time last year when we were both so in love..."), But this particular song is why I'm in love with Rose Melberg and this is my mix tape, so shuddup.
16. 38 CALAMET / Jejune
Just kinda how any mix should end: "We'll be back in early spring / UNless this van decides to blow."
Honrable Mention:
When Summer's Over Will We Dream Of Spring / Cursive
Because it's the (second) best track on one of the (very) best albums ever recorded, and it mentions summer. But this is a late-November record. Too glum to listen to when it's sunny.
27 imaginary dana said on June 22, 2007
You know Rick, I really wish you'd put a bit more thought into your posts before you blog them, sheesh! ;)
29 Erik Gonzalez said on June 24, 2007
Having now gone driving around during the summer this weekend, I can attest to two more summerfuntime bands I forgot:
Soul Coughing (especially anything from Ruby Vroom)
Ted Leo/Pharmacists (especially Hearts of Oak)
30 diana said on June 25, 2007
the Ataris! well played...Blue Skies is a perfect choice, i'll defend you against anyone who laughs
31 theZim said on July 20, 2007
the Panda Conspiracy, Lunar Migration. Pretty much the whole album. Next time you are in going somewhere on a hot day crank it up in your car and you will see what I am talking about.

When I opened the Interweave
Crochet Summer 2014 issue I expected to find innovative patterns that
begged me to pick up my yarn and hook and add them to my closet, in-depth
articles on new or fundamental crochet techniques, and pages of beautiful
photography that inspired me. That's just what I have come to expect from Interweave Crochet and is the reason I
wait in anticipation for each new issue.
But this issue included something else, something perhaps more
inspiring. In this issue I read about crocheters who faced incredible physical
and emotional hardships, but crochet led them down the path of recovery.
First there is Vicki Sulfara who learned to crochet when she
was a young girl. In June of 2000 she was in a horrific car accident that left
her with spinal injuries, chronic pain, and the fear that she would not be able
to pick up her hook again. Instead crochet became an integral part of her
healing progression.
Then there is the story of LTC Samantha Nerove, U.S. Army, Retired. I'll let you read
an excerpt in her own words.
Pistol? Check. Body armor? Check. Yarn, hooks, crochet
books? Check. My Combat Crochet Basic Load (CCBL) was prepped for battle. . . .
Night after night, I sat on my bunk holding on to life by participating in the
wonder of yarns blossoming into flowers and other projects. Creating with fiber
became my personal oasis in the desert of my disintegrating self. Crocheting helped
stop the memories-the sight and screams of dying burn victims, AK-47s aimed at
my face, and more-from replaying in my head. It directed my mind to a calmer
place. Yarn over, pull through . . . . My hands were moving. I was still alive.
. . . The ugliness and destruction of war pale in comparison with the power
and beauty that yarn, hooks, and crochet books can create.
Samantha Nerove, U.S. Army, Retired.
I am looking at each pattern and crochet technique
differently now. Each stitch is a story of my life; crochet comforts me when life
is difficult and inspires me daily. Take Interweave

patterns by subscribing digitally today.
Best wishes,
P.S. Has crochet ever helped you overcome a physically or
emotionally difficult time? Share your story in the comments.
Awesome post! And yes, creating, not neccesarily crocheting, keeps me sane.
Two years ago, I lost my husband in a car accident. One of the last thing we did together was buying yarns for my crocheting. I still keep the yarn shop bill with the purchase date and time in my wallet. After he passed away, I wasn t able to crochet for a very long time. To begin crocheting again after so many months, meant that I was starting emotionally to recover.
I have had surgery on both of my wrists. One surgery was to remove three bones and also repair carpal tunnel. The other was a compound compressed fracture and repair of carpal tunnel. The surgeon suggested I continue my crocheting after both surgeries. He said it would help keep my wrists strong and moving. He was right. If not for crocheting, I probably would not be able to do very much with my hands at all.
After he saw me crocheting a baby blanket during lunch, a former teaching colleague who grew up in Britain during WWII told me a story of how he learned to crochet. He said that people would start blankets in the bomb shelters at night and leave them there to give the kids something to do to pass the time, keep them quiet, and settle their nerves. He said that a stranger showed him how to work on a blanket one night and that he worked on blankets whenever there was a bombing raid.
Crochet Kept My Spirits High during 3 Months of Homelessness –
I won't bore you with the details of how I, an employed licensed practical nurse at a local children's hospital became homeless. What I would like to focus on is the very thing that kept me from being in a constant state of total meltdown - my crochet hooks, yarns, and projects. And how I believe God used these tools of my passion to keep me sane and happy during a most difficult time.
Once I got over the initial dismay of what was about to/and did happen to me, I remember going to my storage unit 2weeks into my new life to pick up some clean scrubs for work, at least I had my job. While there I began fumbling through my things in tears and I found the bag that was storing the afghan I had been making for my eldest daughter who was living in Montreal, Canada. I began crying that this beautiful yarn, and equally beautiful pattern was just sitting there waiting for the day I might finish it.
I held onto that afghan and my hooks and the yarn like they were my life preserver, soaking a portion of it with my tears and hoping I hadn't stained the yarn. I started to put it all back and grab my scrubs to leave, when the thought occurred to me that the only thing keeping me from finishing this blanket was me. I mean really, it's not like I had to stop crocheting to clean the apartment or bathroom, or stop because I had to cook dinner. I was after all, just going to throw my scrubs into a messenger bag, and head for a park I could hang out at, so why not take it with me.
I did just that. Not only did I finish that afghan, during these last 3 months, I finished another one using Tunisian knit method. I have also crocheted one scarf for my youngest daughter, am working on another scarf for a coworker, am teaching a fellow co-worker to crochet, and have taught 2 other co-workers who know how to crochet but needed help with more advanced stitches, and there are several other co-workers who want lessons as well.
Where ever I go, my large Michaels bag, filled with my yarns, my needles, one crochet pattern book, go too. To the park, on the bus, at the book or bagel store, at the library, and more, I crocheted and I prayed. People stopped and watched me, women and children mostly, but also some men who reminisced about their mothers or sisters that also crochet. My projects allowed me to see clearly how I had gotten into this situation of homelessness, and to see how to fix it.
Today, I am moving into my new apartment and my new life. I am completely aware I would not been able to cope as I did had God not given me this wonderful gift and I know that I would have completely melted down. Every stitch in the projects I worked on was made as I prayed for solutions, strength, and wisdom, and also for compassion for the other homeless ones around me who didn't seem to have anything to hold onto, like I did my craft. Thank you for letting me share, and please – be kind to the homeless, no one wants to live like that.
I live with daily pain from several chronic illnesses, including 24/7 migraines. When I do not feel able to do anything else, I can still crochet. Although I can't think clearly enough to follow intricate patterns, I do crochet simple things for our home, family, and friends, and make lapghans which I donate to a couple of rehab facilities in our area.
I am very thankful to be able to do something that not only soothes me but helps me feel somewhat useful.
Hi Toni,
Your article has inspired me to share my story. I lost my husband to suicide in Jan. 2013. I struggled to get the gun out of his hand, but failed and he shot himself in the head while in my arms. Like Samantha, I've suffered severe PTSD. I hadn't crocheted since I was very young, but for some reason I picked it up again. Repeatedly counting stitches has helped keep my mind out of the horrible places it wanted to go. Sometimes the darkness has tried to overwhelm me, but crocheting always brings me back into daylight. I'm so very grateful to my great-grandmother for passing on her skill to me all those many years ago. I don't know where I'd be right now without it.
I don't have the funds to subscribe to the magazine, but I check out your website often for inspiration.
Conni Evans
Such inspiring stories! I'll add mine. About 20 years ago, when I was in missionary school (an almost total immersion situation where we learned the language & culture quickly), I was attacked by a totally debilitating disease where I was bedridden due to horrible, severe pain for many months while the doctors tried to figure out what was wrong with me. My hands were still good at that time & I had a friend buy me a learn-to-crochet book & a bunch of yarn. I fell in love with heirloom crocheting and have continued since. Turns out it was severe arthritis & now my hands are very deformed, but I still find ways to tweak ways of holding my hook, etc, so I don't have to stop crocheting. It still is a great comfort and takes my mind off the pain I have, even though I'm on much medication. I'm so glad I learned to crochet!
crochet moved my mind away from the terror of being stalked. when baby came it kept my focus while stalker and colic dominated, I crocheted. When I had a 7 year old and breast cancer, I crocheted thru chemo and radiation. when unpleasant events turn up, I crochet. When wrists threatened carpal tunnel .... Yes I did. I still have the "baby blues", aka chronic depression, so finding joy is seldom accidental, so I crochet and it takes my mind to the individual I may be creating a garment for. what an excellent topic!!
I was ran over then backed over by a semi during Desert shield. The semi got my right arm and well most of me, my recovery therapy was crocheting. I already had the thread with me and I was "caught" with a hook in the arm/hand that was ran over trying to get the feeling back and do the stitches. The doctors came in and got very excited, if I could move the hook up just a bit and use the other hand for the thread all of me would be getting better. After I mastered the laying flat on my back and arm on the pillow moves, I was excited that I could keep on crocheting even with having two muscle groups in the right arm gone and being hit well crushed on the right side. I have trama aphasia. I made a chain then truned it into a square. I made squares, which turned into lap-ghans. Then on to the flowers and then the fine thread for edgings. This is all during the few few weeks int he hospital. It has been 36 surgeries,and 23 years later I have even crocheted tablecloths, sweaters, baby afghans and lots of flowers..it helps to keep the hands busy to keep from pain and the memories of the other things that were seen. PRAISE GOD for the crochet hooks and thread I have given most of the crocheted items away. I still use the hooks and books that were given to me when I was a little girl and just learning how to crochet.
I didn't know how to crochet when I found out I had breast cancer. My mom and sister were my "chemo buddies" and they crocheted and talked with me. That's when I decide to learn. It helped "work" my brain and gave me something do to while I was sitting. Now my granddaughters keep me busy with projects they want me to make for them. I love it!
Six years ago, my daughter, mother of two girls age 7and 8 at the time, suffered a severe stroke with multiple complications that left her paralyzed from the neck down and in intensive care for three months, and in and out of hospitals and therapy ever since. Miraculously, and through the power of prayer, she survived and has been slowly regaining her mobility and memory, even though she had to relearn numbers and letters and how to read all over again, she is now back to reading and using a computer, etc. All her therapists believe now that she will walk.
I had joined a prayer shawl ministry in my church a few months before, and during the time that she was in ICU I remained nearby, and of course got to know other family members of patients. Some survived, some did not, but all of us shared our sorrow and anxiety, and I stayed calm by crocheting shawls and gave away some to the people I met there when I had the chance to do so. Seeing the comfort the shawls gave them helped me get through those months when her prognosis was dire, and doctors only gave her a 30% chance of regaining any movement if she survived. I am still crocheting shawls, and have shared my story with other members of our ministry, hopefully helping them to get through similar situations.
I lost my dad to a massive heart attack almost 7 months ago and dropped everything to move my husband and children in with my mother. I picked up crocheting as a way to keep busy and not to dwell on the major life changes that had taken place. I keep crocheting because I enjoy the peace that comes with creating things. It is one of the few constants in an ever-changing life.
I love on country Victoria Australia and I have been crocheting since I was 5 years of age. I have found in the last few years it is very meditative and relaxing. I endure ongoing PTSD and find crochet helps when I am very anxious. Last year I had cervical cancer and breast cancer surgeries and chemotherapy. Through my hospitalisation and recovery at home I started up my crochet again which kept me going and sane. This year I plan to start selling a few of my items at markets since I am no longer in paid employment. I'm a bit slower now as I have tendon damage from chemotherapy but it gives me motivation to keep going.
8 months into joining the Army I was raped by a fellow soldier. So far crocheting has been and is the only thing that calms me down from flashbacks, panic attacks, and even during a trauma program in the military.
I was taught to crochet by my Aunt when I was eleven just a couple years after my mom died. It was a big comfort to focus on that rather than my loss. Then in the early 1980's I suffered damage to my right hand tearing and severing nerves, tendons and ligaments and really thought I would never crochet again. It took over a year but I relearned crocheting and even had to learn a new way to hold my hook. I can not stitch as fast as I once did and I drop stitches a lot but I still love the hobby! Now the memory issues from an old head injury means I can no longer do the really complicated pieces I once did but I am content to just crochet what I can and I share it with a lot of people. I am 54 years old now and can not see me stopping crocheting any time soon. I have to sit a lot more than I like because of health issues and it and cross stitch keep me from going stir crazy.
Two years ago I was asked to teach Crocheting to a group of women who were really motivated to learn, who were loving and beautiful and would love some instruction. How can you say "No" to that, especially when it is told to you by a Nun. It wasn't until I said I would "attempt to teach, but I was not a teacher" that she smilingly told me "They are in Jail" For the past 2 years I have been "Going to Jail" once a week to teach them. They are women trying to turn their lives around, going through emotionally difficult times. The best part is, my Dad was a NYC Cop who made us promise we would never do anything in our lives that would lead to us to spend time in Jail!! Sorry Dad. I love what I do!!
I have returned to crochet after many years. Now retired from nursing, and widowed, It saves me in the"lonely" times.
I remember, many years ago, when my mother was in the operating theatre, enduring a very long, complicated, emergency proceedure...we were unable to locate my step father to inform him, so I packed a ball of cotton, and a hook and went in to wait, for news and step father.
I ended up nearly finishing a "white swan" which I later stiffened to sit on a table. It looked more like a "dying duck" ...But it reminded me of the hours spent waiting in that awful waiting room, and the eventual "good news" of the operation results.
I eventually gave it to my mothers sister, who proudly had it "on show" in her dining room. Now many years later ,I have it back, looking the worse for wear, but full of wonderful memories. All hail the humble crochet hook .Faye Maplestone Australia
I am a therapist working with severely emotionally disturbed teenagers. Sadly, I can't teach them to crochet because they could use the yarn or hooks to injure themselves or each other. But during lunch break I crochet. It has gotten me through some very challenging days.
Crochet has helped me a lot the last few years! 3.5years ago I had a benign breast lump removed. It was supposed to be a 'routine' operation, but I ended up with Nerve Damage all over the left side of my upper body. I have lived in depilating Chronic Pain ever since. My Intercostal Neuralgia has caused me to lose my career as a glassblower and I had to leave my job (I still make ever now and then). I started crocheting about 2 years ago and it is great to have something I can do while resting in bed, or while I am in the Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber. Also a few months ago I could a 9 hour a week job in my local wool shop! Its like being in heaven ;) It really has helped me pass the time; meet new friends; continue to be creative and kept me sane. I am only 31 so this has been a massive alteration in my life, and crochet helps me through. I run a Facebook page for other sufferers of IN, so come say hi if you need some support or advice! www.facebook.com/intercostalneuralgia
I have found that crocheting can direct my sadness into helping others. When my husband passed after a difficult illness, making hearts to give away at church and fellow volunteers lifted my own heart.
In 2007 I was diagnoised with a one-in-a-million auto immune disease. High dose of prednisone and a very strong immunosuppressant created a very challenging lifestyle change. I needed something to do with my hands and my time. I made too many mistakes trying to knit so I switched to crochet. I made dozens of scarves that I gave away at Christmas for a couple of years and then I started making hats for the grandkids and I made Spirit Hats for a pre-school class. I even made animals hats for our Christmas Play at Church and Egg Cozies for Easter. I love searching for yarn in thrift stores and going thru every yarn shop when I travel. Right now I am in Fairbanks Alaska for work. I have found beautiful yarns - I wish I could afford to buy Qiviut. I am going to experiment with hand painting yarn when I get back home. Crocheting kept me 'thinking' when prednisone had me in a fog. I wouldn't have a healthy mind without crocheting.
I also am a Female veteran diagnosed with PTSD thanks to my military service. My story is so similar to the many listed above as I also use crochet to relax and unwind. I would appreciate it if you were able to publish the full article, or if it is published to please post a link to it. I want to share it with the Women vets I know. I have had problems in the past at the VA hospital being told that my crochet does not promote mindfulness, and thus I am not allowed to crochet in my classes. I try in vain to argue this, because when I am just sitting there my mind races. When I crochet I am able to concentrate better in class. I cannot get the "experts" to realize this. This reaction has hindered my desire to start teaching crochet to my fellow veterans with PTSD. Please post the full article if possible! Thank you!

The book was designed for optimal navigation on the Kindle, PDA, Smartphone, and other electronic readers. It is formatted to display on all electronic devices including the Kindle, Smartphones and other Mobile Devices with a small display.
The "Palliser novels" are six novels by Anthony Trollope.
The common thread is the wealthy aristocrat and politician Plantagenet Palliser and (in all but the last book) his wife Lady Glencora. The plots usually involve English politics in varying degrees, specifically in and around Parliament.
The books are:
- Can You Forgive Her? (1864)
- Phineas Finn (1869)
- The Eustace Diamonds (1873)
- Phineas Redux (1874)
- The Prime Minister (1876)
- The Duke's Children (1879).
The series stands in contrast to Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire, also six novels, which deal with life in a more rural fictional county.
The series is alluded to in Anna Karenina, which deals with a similar theme.

The name D'Oliveira will be back in Worcestershire's first team squad next season.
Leg-spinner Brett D'Oliveira, grandson of former England all-rounder Basil and son of Damian, a former Worcestershire all-rounder who is now the county's Second XI and academy coach, has signed a one-year contract with the New Road club.
D'Oliveira, 19, is a product of Worcestershire's academy system and has been on a summer contract this year.
Seamer Nick Harrison, who made his senior debut in the recent Clydesdale Bank 40 match against Derbyshire, will join D'Oliveira on the senior staff next season having graduated from a summer contract to a one-year deal.
Harrison, 19, claimed his first senior wicket in last Sunday's CB40 defeat by Holland and also took two five wicket hauls in recent Second XI matches against Northamptonshire.
"The two young lads are products of our Academy who have taken well to life as professional cricketers in 2011," said Worcestershire director of cricket Steve Rhodes.
"Becoming full professionals is in response to the improvement both players have made during their scholarship year, both on the field with their cricket and their preparation off it. We look forward to welcoming them on the full professional staff."
D'Oliveira and Harrison are the latest products of Worcestershire's academy system to progress to the senior squad following the likes of current captain Daryl Mitchell, Ben Cox, Aneesh Kapil, Matt Pardoe and Richard Jones.

Strength Before Brilliance
The long process during which President Obama has reconsidered America's commitment to what he described as a necessary war in Afghanistan has transformed the purpose of his West Point speech tomorrow night. The first-order question is not the number of troops or the proper strategy; it's more elemental: does this man believe in victory?
The world wants to know. The U.S. military wants a clear mission from its commander-in-chief and to feel that he has the will to win. The American public wants to understand why it should sacrifice blood and treasure. The Afghans want to know whether we will stand by them. Our allies and our enemies will watch as well, and judge our nation according to their assessment of our president.
The message he must communicate is beyond pure reason. The troop numbers, the strategic rationale and the policy direction matter more as indicators of temperament than as elements of an argument. The question of commitment was less pressing six months ago when Gen. Stanley McChrystal, trumpets across Washington blaring, was sent to take command in Afghanistan. But now it can no longer be avoided. The current moment is a test of the president's "courage d'esprit," of his determination. As ever, Clausewitz put it aright:
Determination, which dispels doubt, is a quality that can be aroused only by the intellect, and by a specific cast of mind at that. More is required to create determination than a mere conjunction of superior insight with the appropriate emotions. Same may bring the keenest brains to the most formidable problems, and may possess the courage to accept serious responsibilities; but when faced with a difficult situation they still find themselves unable to reach a decision….In short, we believe that determination proceeds from a special type of mind, from a strong rather than a brilliant one.

Will Pakistan Crash the U.S.-India Party?
It's hard not to be impressed by the long list of initiatives and partnerships announced in the joint statement issued by President Obama and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh following the prime minister's visit to the U.S. last week.
After the usual boilerplate about democracy and shared values, the statement introduces a Counterterrorism Cooperation Initiative to improve intelligence sharing and counterterrorism efforts between the two countries; a Clean Energy and Climate Change Initiative to further alternative energy technology access; a Framework for Cooperation on Trade and Investment; an Obama-Singh 21st Century Knowledge Initiative to increase educational exchanges; and six other partnerships on issues ranging from food security to public health. Both countries are serious about institutionalizing their growing linkages.
These diverse efforts show that America and India's mutual affinity – cultivated by the Clinton administration and solidified by President Bush's landmark nuclear cooperation agreement – will surely continue under President Obama, despite legitimate fears on both sides that the Obama team's deference to China and Pakistan could compromise India's desire for a stronger partnership. Beyond power politics, however, it makes sense for the U.S. to pursue closer economic and cultural ties with India. The country boasts a rapidly growing economy, a burgeoning middle class, and a strong network of wealthy Indian expatriates at home.
So why should we still be nervous about the U.S.-India relationship?
Don't Shortchange the ANSF
The Wall Street Journal reports this morning that, as expected, the White House has balked at the recommendation of Gen. McChrystal and others to double the projected end strength of the Afghan National Security Forces. Never mind that Afghanistan's defense minister and others within the Afghan government have insisted that a combined force of 400,000–the number recommended by McChrystal and reportedly floated within the White House prior to the March strategy announcement–will be necessary to sufficiently police and defend the country. And never mind that Senate Armed Services Committee chairman Carl Levin indicated this weekend that he hopes an "Afghan surge" will feature prominently in president's new strategy. Despite all the recent talk of exit strategies and off-ramps, the administration appears determined to shortchange what is perhaps its surest route to a responsible and swift withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan: increasing Afghans' ability to provide for their own security.
And whereas earlier skepticism within the administration about growing the ANA had stemmed from the anticipated costs of the endeavor, concerns now seem to focus on the feasibility of accelerated training, as well as the Afghan government's ability to sustain a dramatically expanded force. Explains the WSJ:
"'The president has a realistic view of how successful the training regimen can be, and that has helped inform his decision,' a senior administration official said Sunday. …
The proposal [for doubling the ANSF] initially found support within the administration, where senior officials have talked openly about wanting to quickly transfer security responsibility to Afghan forces.
But as the months-long administration strategy review has worn on, Vice President Joe Biden and other senior administration officials have become skeptical that the Afghan central government could retain, train and support so large a force, even with considerable Western support."
To be sure, the process of growing the ANSF will not be easy. The ANA continues to have difficulties with recruiting and retention. But there is certainly a value in setting ambitious targets. What's more, American commanders on the ground have consistently called for increased assistance from Afghan forces, and the demand will no doubt grow as the pace of operations accelerates in the coming year. Finally, it's important to note that a strong, sufficiently-sized ANSF will not only be an integral element of the U.S. strategy for Afghanistan in the near term, but it also has the potential to serve as the backbone for a healthy Afghan state in the years to come. In short, as Gen. McChrystal and our Afghan allies have made clear, it's well worth our investment.

Changing the Culture of Military Intelligence
Maj. Gen. Michael Flynn, the U.S. intelligence chief in Afghanistan, said the American intelligence effort in Afghanistan is under-resourced and requires more UAVs, intelligence analysts, and surveillance satellites to defeat the Taliban insurgency. According to a recent article in The Los Angeles Times, Flynn, who was sent to Afghanistan to improve the quality of U.S. intelligence gathering there, is said to be frustrated that other senior officers at home do not view the issue with the same degree of urgency. Originally ordered by Gen. McChrystal to lead an overhaul of how U.S. intelligence is gathered, analyzed, distributed, and employed by American troops in the field, Flynn joined McChrystal's inner circle from the Joint Staff at the Pentagon where he was the J-2 responsible for military intelligence. Flynn firmly believes in the military's need for a radically different approach to collecting intelligence on insurgent networks, their resources, movements, and whereabouts. To build a complete picture of the enemy, Flynn believes, the U.S. needs to do a better job at collecting and exploiting information on insurgents when they move, regroup, and communicate after an American or allied attack. In the past, the military primarily employed intelligence to plan and prepare for military operations, and to adjust its course of action during a campaign. Today, according to Flynn, "we do the opposite. We do the [operations] to get the [intelligence]."
How We'll Know When the Job is Done
"After eight years…it is my intention to finish the job."
At last Barack Obama is giving us a glimpse of how he's approaching the decision he will be announcing next week. But what can he mean by "finishing the job?" In particular, what does he think "the job" is, and in what sense could it be "finished" anytime soon?
It seems likely that the president is trying to define the mission as narrowly as possible. "The job" sounds like a counterterrorism mission, although the administration may be willing to employ some elements of counterinsurgency or stability operations in Afghanistan to enable the counterterrorism campaign inside Pakistan to go forward. And it even seems like a narrow counterterrorism mission that focuses principally on al Qaeda rather than the broader syndicate of associated Islamist groups in the region.
But it's the desire to "finish" the job that is most revealing. Thus the administration's oft-repeated talking points on an "exit strategy." Thus White House spokesman Robert Gibbs' description of the final Afghanistan strategy session: "I think I characterized a decent part of it as not just how we get people there but what's the strategy for getting them out." Not a strategy for winning, but for ending the war.
No matter how narrowly defined the job becomes, it's hard to see how it can be finished, even within the scope of two Obama presidential terms. If Osama bin Laden were to be killed tomorrow, both al Qaeda proper and the violent Islamist movements in South Asia and globally would reconstitute, recover and persist.
But there is a larger underlying problem: how we choose to define the job and what the job really is are not necessarily the same. The true task, which is large, complex but undeniably necessary, is to build a political order in South Asia that does not pose a mortal threat to the rest of the world. This, in turn, is a critical element in integrating the greater Middle East into the international system. In this regard, our job in Afghanistan is the first but hardly the last step.
Finally, the term "exit strategy" should be banished. There is no relief — least of all for an American president — from the practice of statecraft and shaping global politics. The United States has yet to "get out" of anything: the Western Hemisphere, Europe, East Asia, the Persian Gulf, or any of the world's oceans. The job is "finished," as it mostly is in Europe, when it's safe for free people — when they can "stay in," not get out.
Tom Donnelly is director of the Center for Defense Studies.
The Moment We've All Been Waiting For
Reports today indicate that President Obama will announce his new, revised strategy for Afghanistan in an address next Tuesday. Later in the week, General Stanley McChrystal and Ambassador Karl Eikenberry are expected to testify before Congress, along with Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. It's also been reported that the president will grant McChrystal an additional 30,000-35,000 troops, roughly two brigades short of what the general is believed to have requested for his proposed "medium-risk" course of action.
It will no doubt come as a relief to many in Washington, Afghanistan, and NATO alliance capitals simply that President Obama has concluded his protracted deliberation process. But now the hard part begins. In the coming weeks and months, the president will be challenged to rally flagging support for the war among Democrats in Congress, while at the same time communicating to an increasingly skeptical American public the purpose of our mission in Afghanistan. If, as some have suggested, these past fourteen weeks have represented in part the president's efforts to come to terms with his "ownership" of the war in Afghanistan, the test will come in his rhetorical approach to the war in next week's address and beyond. Will he steel the American people for a long haul toward victory? Or will he reaffirm a commitment to bringing the conflict to a speedy conclusion?
What's more, despite the steady trickle of leaks from the White House, it remains unclear just to what extent the new approach will diverge from either the administration's original March strategy or the course of action laid out in Gen. McChrystal's strategic assessment. The president has already thrown out the Biden-inspired "counterterrorism-only" straw-man; the White House is also reportedly attempting to "reset" its acrimonious relationship with Hamid Karzai (and Karzai, for his part, appears to have taken some initial, modest steps to address corruption within his government). Thus, reports suggesting that the new strategy will concentrate efforts on securing population centers (a key element of McChrystal's proposed approach) while conducting a counterterrorism campaign against high-value targets further afield — and at the same time seeking more productive means of holding Afghanistan's senior leaders accountable for corruption — should come as no surprise.
The centerpiece of the president's remarks, then, may well be his proposed "exit strategy" for the war, a topic which appears to have become central to the debate on Afghanistan within the White House in recent weeks. As press secretary Robert Gibbs noted on Monday, the president is very concerned "not just how we get people there, but what's the strategy for getting them out." If this is indeed the case, it will mark a dramatic departure from the president's March announcement, in which he articulated the contours of a strategy for winning the war — not simply ending it. But, as has become clear in the past months, the president had failed to internalize the extent of the commitment — military or otherwise — necessary to implement his original strategy as stated. He's unlikely to make the same mistake again.

Germany in Afghanistan: Some Quick Fixes
Last week, Defense Secretary Robert Gates welcomed Germany's new defense minister, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, to the Pentagon. Upon Chancellor Angela Merkel's re-election at the end of September, Guttenberg was named defense minister in the new cabinet, replacing the embattled Franz Josef Jung who moved on to become Germany's new labor minister. At a joint press conference at the Pentagon, Gates told reporters that the U.S. and Germany "agreed to consult on a frequent basis on common challenges [both countries] face as close allies, particularly in Afghanistan." That is good news for the transatlantic alliance and for the U.S.-German relationship. As commendable as the secretary's and the minister's words may be, however, "consultation" alone won't cut it in Afghanistan. What the mission desperately needs are some hard-nosed strategic and tactical improvements to turn the situation around and win the fight there. It remains to be seen to what extent President Obama's new strategy will encourage allies to take a harder look at their respective approaches to the Afghan mission.
Guttenberg's message at an event at the Center for Strategic and International Studies should give the White House some pause. The defense minister told the audience that Germany would wait for President Obama's decision on Afghanistan before making its own determination regarding the German Army's Afghan mandate and potential adjustments in troop levels. American leadership, it seems, still matters to our allies-at least to Germany, the third largest contributor of forces after the U.S. and the U.K. At CSIS, Guttenberg said, "We are all eagerly [waiting] for the announcement the president is to make over here. […] A reassessment of the German commitments toward Afghanistan is possible. I cannot say today what direction, but I will say that we will certainly rethink our mandate." Though it is unlikely that the German parliament will approve additional troops beyond the 4,500 allowed for by the existing mandate, one way to "rethink" the mandate would be to loosen up (or terminate) the German Army's restrictive operational caveats. One cannot overstate the impact such a decision would have on the morale of German soldiers fighting, being injured, and, on occasion, dying in Afghanistan.
Caveats and COIN
The Research Division at the NATO Defense College (NDC) in Rome recently released a noteworthy NDC Forum Paper titled "Counterinsurgency: the challenge for NATO strategy and operations." In eleven chapters, this volume, edited by Dr. Christopher M. Schnaubelt, the Transformation Chair at NDC, covers a broad array of topics in counterinsurgency strategy and operations, focusing primarily on the lessons of Afghanistan: the challenge of security force assistance, the German experience in RC-North, the development of NATO special operations capabilities, among others. In his introduction to the volume, Schnaubelt quotes a Washington Post op-ed by former NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, in which Scheffer argued for "a more comprehensive approach" to NATO's Afghan mission:
[NATO's operations in Afghanistan] are still too much of a patchwork, with individual countries assigned to specific geographic areas. […] Multiple approaches to military operations and development assistance within one mission reduce effectiveness and can strain solidarity. [NATO] should have more common approaches to [its] efforts, including fewer geographic restrictions on where forces can go in support of each other.
Schnaubelt is quick to identify one of NATO's primary strategic challenges concerning the Afghan mission:the alliance continues to be plagued by disagreements over how to define and confront violence in Afghanistan – should NATO prosecute a full-blown COIN campaign or is ISAF merely a stabilization and reconstruction operation? – as well as the relative military contributions by alliance members to the overall effort. In addition to mere force numbers, as Schnaubelt points out, ISAF is NATO's first Article V "mutual defense" operation that, to the dismay of many in the alliance, is hampered by operational restrictions or "caveats" imposed by certain alliance members on their forces. These restrictions prohibit certain ISAF partners from engaging in full-spectrum combat operations across different regional commands. Unsurprisingly, these caveats, fueled by allegations that certain alliance members are unwilling (some of them may well also be unable) to shoulder "their fair share of the burden," have raised the "spectre of a 'two-tier' alliance," according to Schnaubelt.
Owning the War, Then Selling It
It's been suggested recently that the period since August has afforded President Obama the opportunity to come to terms with, internalize, and indeed begin to "own" the war in Afghanistan. In response to such observations, Peter Feaver has an excellent post over at Foreign Policy in which he points out that, regardless of whether or not the president has been willing to acknowledge it, he effectively took ownership of the war when he announced the conclusions of the original "Af-Pak" strategy review in March, outlining his new approach to the conflict.
Nevertheless, one test of whether Obama has in fact assumed the mantle of a wartime president will be in how he communicates his new strategy in the coming weeks, and how he treats the conflict rhetorically in the months ahead — either as a necessary war that needs to be fought to victory, or as a taxing mission that needs to be managed and quickly brought to a close. But as Gary Schmitt noted yesterday, the president's recent remarks in China — in which he indicated that the new strategy will "put us on a path towards ending the war," while citing his hopes of providing his successor a "clean slate" — are not encouraging.
As American support for the war continues to slip, it's important to remember that this president has a unique capacity to shape public opinion. It would be a shame if, in the case of Afghanistan, he proved unwilling to do so.

Hilton Armstrong worked out for Brooklyn Nets, but he decided to stay one more season in Europe, playing in the continent's biggest stage. After a year at French club ASVEL he will be on the roster of rebuilding Greek and Euroleague powerhouse Panathinaikos.
The announcement was made by the player himself via twitter, however for the past two days his name was on the front page of "Prasini" newspaper, owned by Dimitris Giannakopoulos who is also the owner of Panathinaikos. Coach Argiris Pedoulakis was the one who selected Armstrong from a list of many candidates and also his salary was in the range of what the Greens wanted to spend.
According to Eurohoops.net sources, Armstrong will be paid 450.000 US dollars net and PAO, as it is customary in Europe, will take care of the taxes, meaning that the final cost of his contract will be almost the double. Players like Lou Amundson and Anthony Tolliver, who were also on the radar of the team, wanted an annual salary of one million dollars net.
An official announcement from the club is expected and also some more moves in the front line. Panathinaikos needs one more big and the name of another former NBA player, Stephan Lasme, is again on the forefront.

CCRP celebrates a decade of health and wellness with the MGH
A ZEAL FOR ZUMBA: Katchar leads the mini-zumba class on July 19.
During the last decade, thousands of MGH employees have worked out at the Clubs at Charles River Park (CCRP) as members, guests or participants in programs like Be Fit. On July 19, the CCRP celebrated the 10th anniversary of its affiliation with the hospital during a daylong open house for MGH and local community members. The CCRP is a health club featuring the latest fitness equipment, indoor and outdoor pools, exercise classes, personal training and many other services. It was purchased by the MGH in 2001.
"It's wonderful to see how much we've progressed over the last 10 years," says Cliff Seeto, general manager of the CCRP. "We're hoping to do even more in the next 10."
The highlight of the anniversary event was a high-energy, mini-zumba class on the outdoor pool deck led by instructor Kia Katchar, PhD, of the Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology Division. Following the class, CCRP staff and guests gathered to enjoy birthday cake, one of several treats offered as part of the celebration. Tours, as well as junior and master's swim sessions, also were available throughout the day. More than 100 guests participated in the open house festivities.
"Through the CCRP, the MGH is able to offer employees access to high-quality health and wellness services," says Jeff Davis, senior vice president for Human Resources. "We are delighted to celebrate this special anniversary." For more information about the CCRP, visit www.clubsatcrp.com.

Postal Service to Miss $5.5 Billion Payment to Treasury
Posted By Adan On July 31, 2012 @ 12:07 pm In Economic Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled

Bloomberg Businessweek
July 31, 2012
The U.S. Postal Service affirmed it won't make a required $5.5 billion payment due tomorrow to the U.S. Treasury for future retirees' health care, an obligation the agency said must end for it to become financially viable.
The service has said for months it couldn't afford the payment, which was initially due last September, nor a $5.6 billion payment required by Sept. 30 for this year. Postal legislation passed by the U.S. Senate on April 25 would slow the schedule for those obligations. The House hasn't acted on a different postal measure aimed at changes to help the service cope with declining mail volume.
The Postal Service, which has more employees than any U.S.- based publicly traded company other than Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) (WMT), lost $3.2 billion in the quarter ended March 31. It has said it expects to temporarily run out of cash in October unless Congress alters or ends the retiree health-care obligation and lets it make other changes that include ending Saturday mail delivery.

Sleek Rose Gold Blush - £4.49
I'm really fussy when it comes to blusher because I like it to be quite subtle on my cheeks. I naturally have rosy cheeks so I don't want anything that highlights that too much!
Usually I go for something too subtle, that doesn't even show up on my cheeks which results in me using loads of product and being a complete waste of money...rubbish!
I've been a huge fan of Sleek make up for a while now, I religiously use their brow set (which is amazing, I reviewed it here).
I spotted Rose Gold blush on a whim really, I saw there was only one left and thought it must be popular so decided to try it out.
It's a powder blush and super pigmented, which is great because it really shows up on the skin and you can decide how heavy to place it.
As you may have seen from the picture, it's also very close to NARS 'Orgasm' - and I love a good dupe! It's fantastic value for money at £4.49 and I really recommend it. It isn't too pink or harsh, it has a lovely coral shade with a nice shimmer which isn't too in your face.
Have you tried this before? What's your favourite blush at the moment?

This was awful. Historically bad. Uncomfortable to watch. Embarrassing.
The 67,000 fans, who came looking to make the same difference they made the last time the New York Giants played at Qwest Field, deserve a refund for this loss.
This 41-7 Seahawks shellacking Sunday was the kind of defeat that can suck the air out of what once was an optimistic beginning.
It was a loss that felt too much like the truth; the second-worst home loss in franchise history.
This was a throwback defeat, to the last year of Mike Holmgren and the only year of Jim Mora.
This loss was horrible.
But was it really surprising?
The Seahawks were without starting quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who still was recovering from a concussion suffered a week ago at Oakland. His replacement, Charlie Whitehurst, was as raw as a rookie.
Hawks coach Pete Carroll says he wants his quarterbacks to play like basketball point guards. Unfortunately, Whitehurst was too much like Milwaukee Bucks point Keyon Dooling. Too many turnovers. Not many points.
Whitehurst wasn't ready for this big stage. He was 12 for 23 for 113 yards. He threw two interceptions deep in Giants territory. His passer rating was 44.3.
Let this loss be a lesson to all of you Hasselbeck haters. The Hawks can't win without a healthy Matt Hasselbeck. Period.
But this defeat can't be pinned only on Whitehurst.
He didn't allow 298 total yards to the Giants in the first half. He didn't surrender touchdown drives of 63, 73 and 86 yards. This was a total team breakdown.
The Hawks were undisciplined and sloppy, and with a margin for errors as thin as a razor's edge, they can't afford nine penalties. They can't commit three turnovers.
"We have to figure out how to get ourselves back on track," Carroll said in his starkly honest postgame, midterm report. "We have to play a game of football that gives us a chance in so many different areas.
"It's a very difficult spot to be in because we're not sure that we can get this thing cranking the way we want to and how soon we can, until we go back to work and start working at it."
At the halfway point of the season, the Seahawks (4-4) aren't a very good football team. The reasons for worry that were there at the start of training camp — the offensive line, the lack of a pass rush, the wide receivers, the running game, the secondary — still fester.
In these past two games, at Oakland and home to the Giants, the Hawks have been beaten 74-10 and they've allowed more than 1,000 yards of offense.
That should be enough to scare the forever out of any coach, including the uber-optimistic Carroll.
"This is a big-time challenge for us and for me and for our coaching staff," Carroll said.
With eight games remaining, and for the third season in a row, the Hawks are severely battered. Once again, the curse of the VMAC is raising its ugly head.
Their inactive list was full of talent — Hasselbeck, Russell Okung, Golden Tate, Brandon Mebane, Colin Cole, Tyler Polumbus, Michael Robinson, Frank Okam.
I'd line up the players on that inactive list and play against any of the rest of the league's inactives.
After this defeat, the Seahawks look like a team in desperate need of a bye week, a luxury they no longer have.
At this point in their rebuilding program, the Hawks aren't deep enough or talented enough to absorb this many injuries, especially against a team as good as the Giants, probably the best team in the NFC.
"The challenge issued in the locker room to the fellows is that we have to hang together," Carroll said. "And we have to pull together and we have to get ourselves to the point where we can play good football and execute like we know we're capable of doing."
Geography is their great ally. The Hawks reside in the NFC West, where they still are tied for the lead with the St. Louis Rams.
"Is there hope?" Carroll asked.
"Of course there is," he answered.
Win four more games and the Seahawks can win the West. They can win, while they rebuild.
But a punishing loss this bad is a painful reminder of just how hard the job of rebuilding is and how far away from being a real contender the Seahawks still are.

Data Is a God-Like Power - And Our Political Parties Are Taking Note
Using all this data brings a myriad of implications, not least the increasing atomisation of voters by political parties. We have already briefly explored this. What I didn't mention was how Obama's operation would send door knockers to specific doors as the data they gathered told them how many people in a given street they needed to convince.

Will Arnett on Getting Over Amy Poehler Split: "I've Found My Happiness"
Will Arnett is in maybe the best shape of his life -- and it's all thanks to his split from wife Amy Poehler last fall. As the Arrested Development star revealed in a new interview with Details magazine, he started putting in extra time at the gym after the couple's separation in an attempt to literally work out his feelings.
PHOTOS: The biggest celeb splits of 2012
"If going to the gym obsessively for eight, nine months was my way of dealing, then let that be my worst problem," he quipped to the mag. "Life is challenging, and I'd say that there's no guidebook -- but there's about a million guidebooks out there. All people have been doing since the dawn of time is trying to figure out how to live this life and be happy. I'm no different."
PHOTOS: Stars who bounced back after breakups
Arnett's marriage to Poehler turned out not to be the key, but it gave the actor his two children, Archie, 4, and Abel, 2 -- and that's good enough for him. "I'm 43, and I've found my happiness -- which is my kids," he told Details.
As for his love life? The twice-wed comedian still believes in marriage -- "Certainly. I do. I do," he said -- but he's not ready to get back in the game just yet.
PHOTOS: The best TV couples of all time
"I'm not officially dating," he told the mag. "I don't know what you do. Do you put out an announcement in the trades? I'M DATING! It all seems very scary to me, to be honest. So I'm kind of keeping pretty close counsel right now."
PHOTOS: The funniest women in Hollywood
Poehler, meanwhile, has moved on with funnyman Nick Kroll, who stars on Comedy Central's Kroll Show and had a recurring role as "The Douche" on the actress' NBC sitcom, Parks and Recreation. As Us Weekly exclusively reported in May, the two recently started seeing each other.
"She wanted a comedian who 'gets' her," a source told Us. Echoed another insider: "She was looking for a guy like him."

Google's latest handset included in the Nexus lineup, none other than the quad-core Nexus 4 smartphone built by LG, will become available for purchase once again through the Google Play Store today at noon PST.
The smartphone was put up for sale on November 13, when the entire initial stock was sold out in a matter of minutes.
According to The Verge, however, Google is ready to make the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean smartphone available once again, and has already confirmed plans to put it up for sale today.
The company also confirmed that some users would be receiving their ordered devices as soon as this week, which suggests that stock issues might have been finally resolved.
However, we should wait for the phone to arrive in the Google Play portal once again to see how exactly that will go.
