Obama's Extrajudicial Drone War
The Drone War is Obama's original contribution to the "War" on Terror. In his term, by the president's order more "terrorists" – that is, people suspected of being terrorists without any sort of judicial process involved – have been assassinated using unmanned drones than during the entire Bush administration.
While the Obama administration may make it look like there is nothing to worry about, of course there is. Drone strikes take place in foreign, sovereign countries, and are committed at the behest of the executive branch in the United States. These are extrajudicial, executive branch assassinations of people that have not been given any sort of trial.
With this practice, Obama effectively continues the "war model" approach to counterterrorism that was established by Bush-Cheney. In this paradigm, the world is a global battlefield in which anyone deemed a "terrorist" by the president of the United States can be summarily executed. This process takes place entirely outside the rule of law.
Unless you're a neoconservative with no brain, you may appreciate what kind of precedents this creates. Imagine Russia taking out people it deems "terrorists" in foreign countries – for instance, in the US – and the response that would elicit. As a matter of fact, Russia has already expanded its definition of terrorists and embarked on its own policy of killing them internationally.
David Cole explains exactly why the Obama administration's policy on drone strikes is so lawless and dangerous. It is to be noted, moreover, that there seems to be a rift within the administration about this policy.
On Friday, a front-page New York Times story reported that a rift has emerged within the Obama Administration over whether it has authority to kill "rank-and-file" Islamist militants in foreign countries in which there is not an internationally recognized "armed conflict." The implications of this debate are not trivial: Imagine that Russia started killing individuals living in the United States with remote-controlled drone missiles, and argued that it was justified in doing so because it had determined, in secret, that they posed a threat to Russia's security, and that the United States was unwilling to turn them over. Would we calmly pronounce such actions compliant with the rule of law? Not too likely.
And yet that is precisely the argument that the Obama Administration is now using in regard to American's own actions in places like Yemen and Somalia—and by extension anywhere else it deems militant anti-US groups may be taking refuge. On the same day the Times article appeared, John Brennan, President Obama's senior advisor on homeland security and counterterrorism, gave a speech at Harvard Law School in which he defended the United States' use of drones to kill terrorists who are far from any "hot battlefield." Brennan argued that the United States is justified in killing members of violent Islamist groups far from Afghanistan if they pose a threat to the United States, even if the threat is not "imminent" as that term has traditionally been understood. (As if to underscore the point, The Washington Post reports that the US has "significantly increased" its drone attacks in Yemen in recent months, out of fears that the government may collapse.)
In international law, where reciprocity governs, what is lawful for the goose is lawful for the gander. And when the goose is the United States, it sets a precedent that other countries may well feel warranted in following. Indeed, exploiting the international mandate to fight terrorism that has emerged since the September 11 attacks, Russia has already expanded its definition of terrorists to include those who promote "terrorist ideas"—for example, by distributing information that might encourage terrorist activity— and to authorize the Russian government to target "international terrorists" in other countries. It may seem fanciful that Russia would have the nerve to use such an authority within the United States—though in the case of Alexsander Litvinenko it appears to have had few qualms about taking extreme measures to kill an individual who had taken refuge in the United Kingdom. But it is not at all fanciful that once the US proclaims such tactics legitimate, other nations might seek to use them against their less powerful neighbors.
Yet as the New York Times report makes clear, when it comes to targeted killings, there is serious dispute, even within the administration, about what the law permits. Some, like State Department legal advisor Harold Koh, take the position that beyond the battlefield, we can attack only those "high-value individuals" who are actually engaged in plotting attacks on the United States, and only where their threats are specific enough to allow the US to claim the right to self-defense granted to all states under the UN Charter. The Charter permits nations to use unilateral military force only in self-defense against an armed attack, and has been interpreted to permit self-defense against threatened attacks only when they are imminent. Defense Department lawyers maintain, by contrast, that the ongoing war against al-Qaeda authorizes us to kill any of the thousands of rank and file members not only of al-Qaeda itself, but also of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula—a Yemen-based group founded in 2009—and of al-Shabab, a Somalia-based militant group. Although both of the latter organizations were founded well after the September 11 attacks, the Defense Department considers them fair game because it deems them to be associated with al Qaeda.
Brennan further argued that the UN Charter requirement that a threat be imminent before a nation can exercise its right of self-defense makes less sense when a country faces a threat from a clandestine terrorist group, whose threats may be harder to spot in advance. But the purpose of that requirement was to ensure that military force is truly a last resort. Too many wars have been launched on the basis of ill-defined future threats. The watered-down imminence that Brennan seemed to advocate, especially when coupled with his suggestion that even a temporary disruption of "capabilities" is sufficient reason to strike, would seem to permit targeting even where no attack is in fact imminent. Such reasoning could also be used to justify lethal force in cases where it might well be possible to foil a possible attack through arrest, criminal prosecution, interdiction, or other means. As many countries, including Great Britain, Germany, Spain, and, Italy have shown, the fact that organized groups seek to engage in politically motivated violence does not necessitate a military response.
The legal parameters defining the use of military force against terrorists are unquestionably difficult to draw. On the one hand, no one disputes that it is permissible to kill an enemy soldier on the battlefield in an ongoing armed conflict. On the other hand, absent extreme circumstances, constitutional and international law bar a state from killing a human being in peacetime without a trial (and even then, many authorities hold that capital punishment violates international human rights law). Al-Qaeda has not limited its fight to the battlefield in Afghanistan, and most agree that, as long as sovereignty concerns are met, the use of military force can follow this enemy beyond the battlefield at least in some situations. Killing Osama bin Laden in Pakistan—whose tribal areas are for all practical purposes part of the theater of war—was the justified targeting of the enemy's leader. But are al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula or al-Shabab the same "enemy," or merely sympathetic adherents of a terrorist philosophy? They certainly did not attack us on September 11, nor are they harboring those who did. Can we summarily execute all terrorists who we fear might someday commit a terrorist act against us? Brennan's speech offered no answers.
And that makes it especially disturbing that the contours of US policy and practice in this area remain largely secret. Presumably the administration has developed criteria for who can be killed and why, and a process for assessing who fits those criteria and when their targeting is justified. But if so, it hasn't told us. Instead, it exercises the authority to kill, not only in Afghanistan and the border regions of Pakistan, but in Yemen,Somalia, and presumably elsewhere, based on a secret policy. We learn more about its outlines from leaks to The New York Times than from the cryptic comments of US officials in speeches like Brennan's. If we are engaging the enemy within the rule of law, as Brennan insisted we must, we should have the courage to make our policies transparent, so that the people, both in the United States and beyond, can judge for themselves. And if, by contrast, we continue to justify such practices in only the vaguest of terms, we should expect other countries to take them up—and almost certainly in ways we will not find to our liking.

Since then, I have become a true believer in the benefits of VIVOBAREFOOT. I not only wear the product myself, but I trust VIVOBAREFOOT with my kids.
My 2.5 year old twins Emmett and Magnolia love their VIVOBAREFOOT shoes. Maggie always asks to wear her "pink boots" and Em picks his "brown shoes" almost every day. The kids run everywhere, hit the playground almost every day, ride their pushbikes often and the shoes have held up wonderfully. The photos are from a rare sunny day in downtown Portland, Oregon as the cherry blossoms were just coming off the trees."

Three Black Crows
Definition of 'Three Black Crows'
A bearish candlestick pattern that is used to predict the reversal of the current uptrend. This pattern consists of three consecutive long-bodied candlesticks that have closed lower than the previous day with each session's open occurring within the body of the previous candle.
Investopedia explains 'Three Black Crows'
As you can see from the chart above, the three black crows pattern is a sign of the bulls' lack of conviction in the current uptrend. This pattern is used to predict the top of an uptrend, but traders will want to confirm this signal with other technical indicators to confirm that the momentum is actually changing.

Completed in 2011, (pulled up after 20km injured in 2010) Love the route, surprise after surprise, jaw dropping sights. Runners are given total occupancy of roads, even if you're at the back doing 4 1/2 hours! Welcoming organisers/stewards/police,especially if you have some words of Russian. Summer in St Pete is perfect marathon weather, either low gentle summer warmth, or a baltic drizzle to keep you cool. Pelmeni for afters!!
Okay, where to start... Chose this city for the European leg of my 7 continents For a marathon in a city where probably 99.9% of the people don't care about the marathon or actually upset that you are bothering them they gave it the old college try. The package pick up was easy and fun. We are from the US and it took a few tries to get in the right lines and figure things out but we made it. As for the race. The start is in one of the most historic parts of St Pete, right in front of the Hermitage Museum. The course is completely flat. I Thought it was a pretty typical marathon course. Flashes of some really neat stuff followed by long miles thru neighborhoods and back streets. Did run by lots of canals. As for the crowd, St Petersburg people seem to be sour about everything. Normally in a race i always try to thank the Police and volunteers. I tried to do this 3 times (yes, I tried in Russian) and all they did was glare at me. Running up the main shopping street of St Pete - Novsky Prospeckt was really cool but once again people are glaring at you and ticked off you upsetting there routine. Course was well marked and well regulated. Rest stops are interesting. One every 2.5 miles and you get bread, bananas, and a full bottle of water to take with you. All in all it was a pretty standard run.
I ran this marathon not for PR or any athletic reason; I'm still recovering from prior injuries. But for me, a native of this great and beautiful city who ran on these streets years ago, it was a joy recognizing it not only with my eyes but also my feet. I "knew" every little uphill over bridge, as well as the taste of that bread at the aid station.
An awesome course takes you past some of the great monuments and landmarks of beautiful St. Petersburg, and winds through green space too! Marshaling is amazing! It's totally safe - a great first marathon in that it's one full loop, with little out-and-back running. It's pretty much a flat run too. The pre-race pasta dinner was fun, delicious, and veggie friendly; and it was fun to start with a smaller pack (about 1000 runners). The only strange thing was running among so many crowds who just walked by with their heads down. It leaves me with some serious ego-centric reflecting to do... but I'm proud to say that I appreciate a few cheers. It's not really in the culture here. Be sure to book a reliable hotel or apartment - we wound up in yucky situation that made the trip less relaxing. Yippee for the White Nights Marathon!
This marathon runs past the most beautiful landmarks of St. Petersburg in Russia. After some trouble finding the place for picking up my number, all turned out very well. There was a well organized reporting office and a meeting point for runners in the Zimny winter stadium. It is a fairly small event, with 400 competing men and 40 women. A beautiful course that was well guarded by countless police officers. Water, bananas and bread were available every 5K, making it a great experience.
The St. Petersburg Marathon is a very small event and less than professional. The start and finish area is in the palace square; the course is flat and takes you by many of the city's best monuments. The only refreshments were bottled water, bananas, and salted rye bread. I guess the banana and bread were the substitute for not having any sports drinks. There were no intermediate recorded times... only a guy with a stopwatch every 5K yelling out your time in Russian. Almost no fan support and many parts of the course were on streets with traffic. Because the race was such a small event, there were times where I was basically running by myself, which made it a little hard to stay motivated. St. Petersburg is a nice city to visit but I would not recommend this race unless it becomes a larger, better organized event.
The week preceding the marathon was 30-33 Celsius but dropped to a bearable 23-25 on race day. The race started at 5 p.m. in front of the Hermitage and went through some of the most beautiful streets imaginable. The wind, heat and spartan aid stations all precluded a fast time but it was one of my most memorable races. It was weird to be almost totally ignored by the thousands of locals on busy Nevsky Prospect. It was like we weren't even there. Still I had a great 5 weeks in St. Pete's and running this unusual marathon was easily the highlight.
St. Peterburg is a fascinating city and a marathon tour with Kathy Loper is a wonderful way to visit plus Paris and Moscow. There is more police support for the marathon than crowd support and no English at the aid stations but the salted pieces of rye bread needed no translation.
I ran the 1/2 marathon portion of this race and won. Great location to run but organization was a bit short. Not enough water stations. No ceremony for the 5K, 10K or half marathon portion of this race. A good reason to see St. Petersburg. A warm day and lots of police. I recommend it if you want to do a smaller marathon in Europe. Our tour was very good - Kathy Loper Events.
I ran the 2006 St. Petersburg Marathon. The course takes you past a lot of the wonderful sights of the city. The weather was very warm for a few days before the marathon, but comfortable on race day. Water stations (and there is only water) are not as frequent as I would have liked. The first water stop is at 10K, then they are at each of the next 5K's. I carried a water bottle with me and filled it at each station. The route is as flat as a couse can be. I would recommend this marathon for anyone willing to travel that far. Tim Kellner

Amanda, over at Piece~A~Cake recently wondered what she would look like Simpsonized. I like the concept so I gave it a try myself. What do you think?
I never tried harder to look good. My hair was a challenge. First I made it too long, then too short, then finally this lovely do which is pretty close to real life. The eyes were a challenge. I needed to catch that wide-eyed wonder with which I view the world. Snort! Hey, don't laugh. I'm a Poet Laureate. Poets have to be that way. Full of wonder and love and all that spiritual stuff. Besides, I'm Irish, and we always look like that. Usually, it's because of the drink, but I just look that way because I'm a poet.
My lips. Do you think they're sensual enough. I wanted them to be sensual. And the teeth--I wanted them to be in good repair. Dang it, I pay a lot of money in real life to keep them beautiful, so I wanted my Simpson-self to have beautiful teeth. I chose a simple necklace which I am wont to wear, what with being the classy self that I am. And my discreet black blouse is a class act, too, is it not?
So there you have it, the Simpsonized me. A couple people told me it is prettier than my real self. There's a double memorial service for those jokers on Tuesday.

Filmmaker David Johnson explores the efforts of one man to restore the wildlife and ecological balance of the Mesopotamian Marshes in southern Iraq after Saddam Hussein nearly destroyed the 7,700 square foot wetland in response to an uprising by the locals in the early 1990s. Though many had assumed that there was no hope for this once-flourishing wildlife habitat, a closer look reveals that it may not be too late to restore the marshes to their former glory. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I've loved the American Memory site from the Library of Congress for years , and NO!... that's not sad!
The following images of Atlanta come from the Panoramic Maps Collection. The collection includes cities from all over the country and the maps combine landmarks, streets and geography in a slanted perspective. As you will see the images go from broad overviews to highly magnified details of specific areas. The specialized .SID file type used by the Library of Congress allows to zoom in and out, and the maps are captured beautifully. For those inclined, links to Windows and OS X .SID viewers can be found here

16 days, a knitter, the birth of a sweater!
I finished, it's true. My sweet sweater is drying as we speak. Preliminary modelling sessions have deemed her a success, with reservations. The final ruling has been held for the post-block runway show.
Initial Parting shots:
1 – Fabulous yarn (details to follow) well suited for this project. Knit on size 8 needles with a pre-blocking gauge of 21 sts / 4 in and 25.2 rows / 4 in. I used ~1100 yards (this is a VERY rough estimate.)
The yarn is a single ply yarn from Habu Textiles in NYC. I believe it is called "a-80 wool", is listed here on Habu's website. It was ~$26 for 17 oz or approximately 1752 yards. Otherwise known as dirt cheap. I have Elisa to thank for this yarn. She and Kellee tackled the wall o' yarn at Habu during our trip to NYC. I just glazed over and marvelled at the silk cocoons. Fortunately they found this fabulous deal.
A second note on this yarn: it is listed as a fingering weight. At first glance I might agree however, the swatch in the store was not knit on anything smaller than US6 needles. I swatched on US7′s and US8′s (a normal person's US8 and US9)- both produced a lovely fabric with beautiful drape. Blocking created a denser fabric. Honestly, I cannot imagine knitting this on the recommended US1-3 needles.
2 – I need to continue to knit for myself AND knit items that fit. This is the first sweater that I have knit for myself. I love it. Not to mention the realization/confirmation that negative ease is the way to go. I will continue to experiment with this as I choose more sweaters to tackle.
3 – When modifying a pattern to fit my gauge and my body Excel is way more fun than the 80 million scraps of paper I normally use. The infamous spreadsheet was easy to do and created a nice diversion. Knowing how many stitches I had to go was motivating rather than crippling. I loved tweaking it and plan to polish it up a bit for future use.
4 – I need challenge and motivation – the Knitting Olympics fit the bill.
5 – I cannot blog and knit and work successfully. Unfortunately or Fortunately the blog is the first to go.
6 – Team Boston is filled with warm, friendly, and encouraging people. During our closing ceremony fashion show yesterday a knitter (Lucia) was tackling her first sweater. A baby sweater that she choose to conquer her fear of the sweater and the dreaded seaming that is inevitably a part of many sweater patterns. Upon voicing her phobia the room echoed with people encouraging her and offering lessons right then and there to help her along. Truly a fabulous team.
The sweater will be photographed after it has dried.
We're busy here gearing up for a fun weekend in Vermont as I approach the official anniversary of my birth and the close of my 3rd decade on this Earth. T-minus 3 whole days to my 30th birthday.
Someone pass the tequila.
The spreadsheet had to be fixed – it told me 3 days ago that I was 109% done. I was CLEARLY not 109% done.
Here are some fun links for you:
Are you there God, it's me Margaret Updated! Can you believe this?! I feel lied to. (via Bookslut)
A Pet Store in my neighborhood has been accussed of flashing pornographic chickens. So. Funny. (via Universal Hub)
Sunday – Team Boston closing ceremony Par-tay! Sunday 11:30 am – you bettah be there.
Me and My Shadow
Here is a progress pic from yesterday:
Not too bad. However, it is key to remember that before this morning I hadn't worked since I cast on for this progress. My job, on a good day, occupies much of my day. I commute via public transportation, approximately 1.5 hours per day. I work for at least 9.0 hours per day, usually without a lunch. I sleep for between 8.0 – 9.0 hours per night (this is a bare minimum for me, I require a crap load of sleep. I wish I could fix this.) Add misc tasks in there – showering, eating, taking care of Rob and the animals – approximately 2.0 hours. What do I have left:
1.5 + 9.0 + 9.0 + 2.0 = 21.5 occupied hours OR 24.0 hours – 21.5 hours = 2.5 free hours.
See, math is easy
Basically if I have good, normal days at work I can get at least 2 hours of knitting in during a week day. I can knit during my commute but I never make a significant dent. Too much going on. This gives me 10 total hours of weeknight knitting during the competition.
Not a lot and I'm worried. Can you call in knitting to work?
Here is a close up of the increases on the arm (and my shadow..me and my shaaaadooow…blah, blah, blah, blah.)
This pattern uses the knit, knit through the back loop increase. kfb? Is that the abbreviation? (forgive me, I am stuck on my couch and am comfy and not getting up for trivial knitting terms.)
I have never liked this increase and had I had my wits about me I wouldn't have used it here. I'm mad at those holes. Holes, you stink. I'm hoping that the yarn will fill in a bit with blocking (which it will, as demonstrated by my swatch.)
With this pattern you are increasing at the end and beginning of the round. I would do paired increases M1R and M1L instead of the KFB(?). I'm just a bigger fan of the V the M1′s create.
Rya is the pooch in my last picture. She's my sweet baby and my knitting partner. She is also spoiled rotten.
Are we bored with these posts yet? I am.
Me, after a few drinks with the shell of a knitted Tetrahymena on my head.
Love the spreadsheet
The Olympics have started. I have cast on and am approximately 10,348 stitches into my project. I have 29,010 left to go. I'm knitting, on average, approximately 536 stitches per hour. This leaves approximately 54.12 hours of knitting time left on my plate. That's a lot of knitting time.
The Hourglass Sweater from Last Minute Knitted Gifts. As I mentioned before, I could either go for speed or for skill. With this sweater I decided to go with both. Speed for the knitting, skill in the adjustments that I will make. I plan on knitting this sweater to fit ME – my big rack (which, btw Ben is figuring out how to say in Italian for me), small chest, short waist and long arms. Added to this is the yarn – I'm using yarn with a different row and stitch gauge.
The final challenge is to blog about it all. I knit everyday and have finished quite a few projects over the last few months. Unfortunately they have not made it to this blog (they will!). Not to mention my inability to alter a pattern and WRITE DOWN my changes.
This is the yarn. It's wool from Habu Textiles. I picked this up during our trip to NYC early in December. No idea what kind of fiber it is. I'm going to be with a butt load of spinners/knitters next weekend. Hopefully someone there can give me a hint.
I started this project by first measuring sweaters that I own that I consider to be well fitting.
Sweater A:
I turned the sweaters inside-out so that I could see the seams. I found it a lot easier to measure them this way.
I then got Robby to help me measure my own dimensions:I spent some time with Grumperia a few weeks ago at Claudia's get-together. I asked her to explain reverse-ease. Which, in Bookish Terms, means knitting a sweater to fit the circumference measurement taken under your armpits and not your bust. When you look at the sweaters above you see that the area under the armpits (and straight down to the waist shaping) is 19″, 18″, and 17″. My bust is 18.5″. Before I sat down to measure my favorite fitting sweaters I would have chosen a 39″ size for a sweater. Which would give me a width under the armpits of 19.5, 1″ greater around than my "bulkier" sweater of 19″ or 5″ greater than my "tight" sweater.
This is interesting to me – I'm not sure how this works or what will happen. But I have decided to go for it. My Hourglass Sweater will have a diameter of 18″.
This means that I'll be casting on for the second size, chest of 37″ (diameter 18.5″) – a size I NEVER would have chosen if I hadn't measured my sweaters first. Here's to hoping it was a smart decision.
Gauge is the next hurdle for me. I swatched on Thursday hoping that I would get a jump on the action and be able to hit the 2pm start time running. Not so much. I swatched flat. The sweater is knit in the round. And, well, we all know that swatches lie. My swatch got gauge.
I cast on for a second "swatch", one of the sleeves.
Pattern Gauge 19sts and 24 rows = 4″
Not the same. This gauge has stayed consitent throughout the sleeve. I've been a measuring fiend. Mostly because it gives me more data to plug into my fancy pants spreadsheet that I created (you'll see it later.)
No matter, once I knit up more of the sleeves I realized that I was okay with the width.
If not worried a little bit that they were too wide. I decided that I would knit up the rest of the sleeve and alter the body pattern to meet my gauge.
This sweater is knit in three tubes, the sleeves, and the body. The yoke could easily be modified (with the help of a sophisticated spread sheet such as the one below.)
This spread sheet allows me to change one or two numbers and the entire patter will adjust. Pretty cool huh?
Yes, I fully understand the psychosis present here.
I'm just about to finish Day 3. I will post today's progress tomorrow. Until then, here is my progress as of yesterday:
Until then – this will be me:
PS – I'm SO happy that you all liked my Pasta maker post. It was a great day with my Grandmother. She is an amazing woman, not without her faults, but amazing all the same. I hope that you will all get to hear more about her soon. And yes, I would totally make pasta again. In spite of the hard work it is SO GOOD. I had eaten homemade pasta on many occasions before. It tastes a lot better when you make it yourself with Grandma looking on!
Why I could never give up carbs…
Robby and I were lucky to grab some of these memories. I still mean to create a post that outlines some of these objects of my memories which have now become objects in my home. For today, I will concentrate on one.
The pasta maker.
Anyone with a nice Kitchen Aid mixed can purchase an attachment that will allow them to make pasta. Grandma has the skills and the tools to make it the old way. We spent some time over Christmas with her going through the process that she followed when she made pasta for her family, something she learned from her mother and grandmother. She told stories of times where the tools were not necessary – her mother and grandmother discussing the thickness of the noodles, agreeing on width and using their knives to make perfectly uniform noodles. They would create gnocchi with their thumbs and ravioli with the tines of a fork. Neither would fall apart in a pot of boiling water. My mother (the daughter-in-law) has had a hard time learning these skills. Grandma always tells her – well you use this and that and don't worry about the amount – you'll just know.
This is the part of our history that we are at risk of loosing – the "you'll just know". Especially when it comes to cooking. Grandma "just knows" because she has absorbed the old ways from her mother and grandmother. My mother and I have not had the daily exposure to this atmosphere. We know what we know from her. With this, and my grandmother's declining health, in mind my mother encouraged her to sit down with us during our Christmas Holiday and share the family way for making Pasta. It was a fabulous idea and, as with many exchanges with elderly family members, turned out to be so much more than a lesson in pasta making.
I have discussed my Grandmother and all that she is to me before. I adore her and know that there is some connection between her and I that is far beyond a normal granddaughter/grandmother relationship. I am fully aware of how strange this sounds but it's just the way is.
On to the pasta…
You need flower, about 3/4 cup per person.
We had about six people eating so we used about 4.5 cups of flour. Make a little hole in your mound of white and place 3 eggs into this. Grandma says you should always crack your eggs into another bowl because if they are bad you would want to know that before you ruin the flour (Grandma was a child of the depression. It makes no difference what-so-ever that the ruined flour would cost all of $0.50. Trust me, I pointed this out and got an ear full)
Using a folk (and not a wire whisk, again with the earful) slowly mix the eggs into the flour. You will need a bit of water set aside. After the eggs are mixed in add a little ittle ttle tle le e bit of water. Just enough to barely get everything damp.
This is the part of the recipe that you just have to "know" and honestly, I never would have "known" had I not had grandma (above with her coffee) guiding me. "No too much." "Oh, Okay, a bit more." You need just enough water to get it mixed…but not too much to make it sticky.
You can see here how crumbly the dough is…not to worry, you're going to kneed the shit out of it and it'll be Perfecto (insert Italian gesture here.) My mom (in the blue shirt) was super excited to be able to use her silpat. It made everything so much easier.
See the texture above? The dough should become really smooth, no bumps and very elastic-like. Kneading is not for the knitter. It hurts your wrists. If you can, get your sister to do it. Mine, unfortunately, was the group scribe. Robby, incidentally, was the group photographer.
At this point the dough must rest. We let it rest in a cover bowl at room temperature all day. You can skip this step if you'd like. We needed to run some errands, get a super cool massage, and take a shower (notice the change of cloths below?)
If you look real closely at the picture above you can probably see my ass-crack. Kidding! You cannot!! But, you can see my chubs…hi chubbies…love you…
This is what's going on in that picture: I'm rolling small pieces of dough out and my sister is putting them through the pasta maker. We have the flattening rolls attached here. My sister rigged up a board to help mount the maker to the table. Yes, the apples do not far from the tree (more on that later.) There is a lot of flour involved in all of these next few steps. Just keep adding until you can get through it all without stickiness.
You may have to send it through the press multiple times. This was another one of those "Grandma tells you when to stop" things. She said that you could make it as thick as you wanted. She was super good at judging the thickness without looking. I swear it must be in your blood. You just know.
After the dough is pressed I used a knife to cut down the center of the strip. This prepared the stripes for the cutting attachment. The cutting attachment rocks.
Look at all of the little spaghetti monsters. They were pretty good uncooked.
Here is Grandma helping me with the little monsters. The head lamp came in handy here.
The tree on the left and the apple on the right. My dad. I always wondered where the family trait of fixing things came from. The trait of having them "just right". The certain way to do things. Well, if I hadn't realized it before, I realized it during this family event. Grandma and my dad – two peas in a pod. They are exactly the same.
It was awesome.
And the pasta – well….you boil it. That's the next step. Use lots of water. Grandma says you should not have to rinse the pasta when it is done. I think that this may be true if you pay attention to the lots of water instruction. We did not. And there was a lot of starch. I think this could be avoided with a larger pot (or rinsing, which I hate.)
Olympic Update – Still no decision on the project. I'm taking tomorrow afternoon off, so hopefully I'll have something by Doyle's. Team Boston – Doyles 7pm be there or be square.
Porco Mondo
1 – Working, working, working. Large deadline was met Feb1st.
2 – Maintaining Team Boston. Now 100 members strong. Holy shit – I had no idea there were that many of us in Boston that knit to the point of distraction. No idea.
3 – Clearing my knitting plate. Yes, I do have this twisted mentality of needing closure on past projects in order to start a new one. Honestly, it's just a way to get this detritus out of my WIP pile and into the hands of the recipients, whom are mostly small children that and unable to hold me to my deadline.
4 – Being scared by phallic looking balloons with cock rings. (Can you feel the google hits that will come off of that one.)
5 – Practice being Italian.
Now, can you guess which of these is my favorite? Why yes, the practicing being Italian. I am of an Italian heritage. While I am not Italian like Ben, I do carry a lot of the stereotypical traits. I have a rack, I like to yell and hug, and I love to eat. Hey! You too can be Italian.
This year's games are held in Torino, Italy where the temperature is measured in Celsius (it was -1 today!), the wine flows freely (seriously, did you know that you can order wine and chocolate off of the official Torino Olympic website?), and where (apparently) Passion Lives. In fact, Wiki claims that Tornio is the birthplace of hard chocolate and the home of Lavazza. We so need to hop on a Fiat (manufacturing home in Torino) and go there! If it wasn't for the scary mascots – I just might.
And for the fact that Torino is across the ocean. For the mapless among us, it is located at the base of the Italian Alps east of the French Border. Have you all been to the Alps? Priceless. Breathtaking. Amazing. They make the Rockies look like baby giant poop. There are no words to describe this place. It is where Passion Lives. I would guess, based on it's location, that there is a good chance it is where sheep live too.
My final discovery was that, in 2006, Torino was named the World Book Capital by UNESCO.
Clearly there are other forces at work here. I cannot deny the responsibility. I must push aside all other responsibilities and move toward victory in these here Knitting Olympics. I will represent my Team and cheer others on. I will learn how to appropriately swear in Italian and will make pasta to honor my ancestors. I will help you with these endeavors as well.
First – the swearing. Now, you may be some kind of Beaver Cleaver who can successfully meet a knitting challenge without the utterance of fowl language. You, my friend, are a better person than I. For the ingrates among us and the children, such as myself, who heard these phrases as a child: La Perolacce
Here are some of my PGish favs:
bagascia – harlot (just in case you want to get mad at someone, I mean she is the one who started the madness)
bidone m. swindle, trick; fare un bidone a qualcuno to swindle someone.
cacasodo m./f. inv. an arrogant person, someone who thinks his/her [feces] doesn't stink; (lit.): one who defecates hard (from the verb cacare, meaning "to [defecate]" and the adjective sodo, meaning "tough" or "hard."
cavolo (vulgar) non me ne importa un cavolo! I don't give a damn about it!; (vulgar) testa di cavolo blockhead.
fesso v. (vulgar) silly, stupid, foolish, idiotic; fare il fesso to play the fool.
faccia di culo f. a butt-ugly person; used as an insult, referring to a big jerk; (lit.): face of a [buttocks].
finire in merda exp. to end miserably; (lit.): to end in [excrement].
merda f. (vulgar) excrement. (ed note: this means shit. I'm not sure why this site, which says penis licker, can't say the word shit.)
mostrare il dito medio exp. to give the finger; (lit.): to show the middle finger.
porco s.m. (vulgar) pig; porco mondo damn it all.
And only if you're ready to pull out the big guns:
vaffanculo (vulgar—contraction of the expression "Va' a fare in culo" up your [buttocks].) insult. (ed note: this could translate to mean fuck you. Which, again the irony, this website doesn't seem to be able to say. It can say the c word, but not fuck. Go figure.)
Please remember – for the sake of your family and friends. These words or phrases should only be applied to one's yarn (filo) or to your knitting (fare a maglia (I think)). We already know it is okay to speak to it as if it is a person – now you can speak to it as if it's Italian!
And finally – a hand gesture for you all (get your minds out of the gutter!)
or, my favorite
Scusi, devo andare al bagno.
(Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom.)
Doesn't that look like a peace sign? No wonder Mussolini was so pissed off.
Those eye-talins are so much more sophisticated than I – I wish I had such a simple gesture for when I had to go to the bathroom. All I have is a stupid ass dance.
Next post – how to make homemade Pasta with your Grandma, or, what I did on my Christmas Vacation.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- President Barack Obama is nominating a conservative Alabama Republican for a seat on the U.S. Sentencing Commission.
The Montgomery Advertiser reports that the White House is supporting U.S. Circuit Judge Bill Pryor for the position.
The 50-year-old Pryor serves on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals with an office in Birmingham. He's a native of Mobile.
Pryor served as Alabama's attorney general as a Republican. He was nominated to the federal bench in 2004 by then-President George W. Bush.
The sentencing commission is an independent agency that establishes guidelines for sentencing in federal courts.
Pryor would serve a term that expires in 2017. He would replace commissioner William B. Carr, whose term has expired.

Theology is the study of a supernatural being; ways, conduct, belief, origin, character, and power. The being usually refer to as God is believed to be the giver of life, creator of living and non-living things, worshipped by faithfuls or believers through out the world. Why theology?

Who really is God, is he real or figment of some fanatic imagination? Did the earth and the universe really come from his powers? Who exactly is the origin of God? These and so many other questions spearheaded the birth of theology which is being presented in academic writings like the theology research paper.

Brief APA history/aim
In the 1800s a new trend in psychology was dawning and a small group of men fascinated by what they referred to as the new psychology elected 31 men including themselves to form what is today called APA, and Stanley Hall been the first president between 1844 to 1924. The aim of founding APA was to: expand psychology as a science, present psychology as a venue of advancing health, welfare of individuals, education; and as a science through supporting the development and growth of psychology in the media, upgrading psychology researches, upgrading the welfare of professionals in psychologist, and seeing to the effective distribution of knowledge in conferences, seminars, meetings, contacts, reports, etc.
Now you understand the reason for APA, this is hoping that the information will generate new light and the way student perceive APA formatting after all they say knowledge brings liberty right? Meaning if you know it you can do it. Before moving on to giving some simple tips of writing APA term paper lets quickly go over the procedures of writing a term paper.
Term paper is a writing assignment designated at the end of a school period (session, semester etc) it is aimed at testing students level of understanding, intelligence, adherence to authority, language and writing skill. It is erroneous to compare term paper to research paper, which is sometimes referred to as a "research term paper" by some individuals, research writing on the other hand entails more advance writing skills, research skill, and research paper methodology proficiency. To present good term paper writing on any subject a writer is expected to: pick a topic, generate thesis statement, have knowledge of the rubrics, know type of writing or essay skills like argumentative, analysis term paper etc, know how to cite using APA term paper or any other authorized format etc.

John Porcellino had this book "Tell Me More …" for sale at his table at last years' BCGF festival. I passed it by until Peyton saw the cover and started screaming and crying when I told her she couldn't have it. But then I gave in because it is a really nice cover. Not exactly an anthology, this book is a program to a international comics exhibition held in Latvia in 2009 featuring comic artists from there as well as Finland, Germany, Sweden and elsewheres, including Matti Hagelbergs, Nicolas Robel, ATAKA, and Ingrida Picukane (who did the cover and the page depicted here).
Thank you for the very nice review of "Tell Me More"! John Porcellino stocks a very beautiful variety of books (see and get them here!) More works, including original drawings, by Ingrida can be found in our Ecrater shop.

Canyons Superintendent David Doty has a new, powerful ally in his quest to entice high school students to take more math and science.
Utah's higher education leaders, including State Higher Education Commissioner William Sederburg, have endorsed Doty's proposed college-and-career-ready diploma.
"I hope and expect that other districts will follow your lead," said Sederburg in a Feb. 1 letter to Doty. "On behalf of the Utah State Board of Regents, I offer our endorsement of your proposal and pledge our support."
Sederburg isn't alone in his praise.
A majority of Canyons parents -- 61 percent -- also support the idea of a differentiated diploma, according to a district-commissioned poll discussed at Tuesday's school board meeting.
And the LDS Church has agreed to schedule seminary classes before and after school, which would free students to take more core classes during the regular school day.
Believing academic rigor to be the best predictor of success in college and the workplace, Doty wants to entice, not force, students to take heavier loads.
If his proposal wins board approval, Canyons will become the state's first district to offer three diplomas: an 18-credit basic diploma; a 20-credit Advanced diploma requiring advanced math and two credits of foreign language; and a 22-credit Apex diploma that puts students on track to qualify for the state-funded Regents' scholarship.
Even the most rigorous Apex track leaves room for 10 electives, or two classes a year, Doty has argued.
At 18 credits, Utah's graduation requirements are among the nation's lowest. The state upped standards this year by requiring an additional unit of English, math and science.
But that's less than what many neighboring states require, wrote Sederburg, who could not be immediately reached Wednesday for comment.
"Rigorous course-taking matters for all students, but is particularly important for students from disadvantaged backgrounds," said Sederburg. "The gap in college completion rates between white students and black and Latino students is cut in half when students take four years of challenging mathematics, including Algebra II."

Almost 1,000 schools in England are offering girls oral contraception without the knowledge of their parents. The pills are even being given to girls as young as 11 as part of the government's drive to keep teen pregnancy rates down, according to a report in the Daily Telegraph. The news provoked an outburst from the Family Education Trust's director, Norman Wells, who claimed that making oral contraception more accessible does not help reduce the rate of unwanted pregnancies. "Research shows making the morning-after pill more readily available doesn't make the slightest difference to unintended pregnancy and abortion rates," he said. "In fact there's evidence it may be making matters worse. Confidential school clinics enable boys to put even more pressure on girls to have sex as Mum needn't know anything about it." Meanwhile AFP reports that the Vatican has claimed the contraceptive pill is polluting the environment and may be partially responsible for male infertility.

Spotted! Bentley GT from Dr. Dre's "Kush" video, Las Vegas

I was informed of this by the owner of the shop, after he had come out to question if I was casing the place, and found out I was not. The Bentley has a host of appearance modifications, but other wise is mechanically stock. Not what I would do to my own Bentley (if I had one), but a cool car nonetheless.

THE Indiana high school football powerhouse...recognized by ANYONE who follows IHSAA football is CATHEDRAL. REITZ beat them twice on their way to 2007 and 2009 State Championships.
As mentioned before, Castle is NOT in Indiana's "big boy class", they're not in 6A, so they're success isn't a big deal in your eyes. Also, excluding the last couple of years, your powerhouse "big boy" class Knights were routinely thrashed by little 4A Reitz and puny 2A Mater Dei...so your claim of "powerhouse" looks even more ridiculous.
Finally...in regards to Reitz other state titles...I assume you also believe that all college football "National Championships" are mythical as well, as they were won without the benefit of a playoff...no Notre Dame National Champions EVER...they were mythical as well because they were selected the same was as Reitz was during the pre-playoff era.
