STL Defense Strategy: Target the Foundations of the Case
Al-Akhbar Management
By: Omar Nashabe
Published Saturday, January 12, 2013
Lawyers defending one of the accused in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon say that the case against their client is full of holes that they plan to expose during the trial. Al-Akhbar takes a sneak peek at their strategy.
The prosecution in the international tribunal looking into the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik al-Hariri indirectly implicates Hezbollah in their case.
However, pre-trial judge Daniel Fransen did not agree with the paragraph in which the Lebanese Shia party was mentioned, according to defense attorneys David Young and Guénaël Mettraux, who were appointed to defend Assad Sabra, one of the accused.
So when Norman Farrell replaced Daniel Bellemare to lead the prosecution, mention of Hezbollah was removed from the revised indictment.
But this change appeared to be only cosmetic after Farrell noted in his pre-trial memorandum to Judge Fransen that the accused were "supporters" of Hezbollah, even mentioning the party's secretary general Hassan Nasrallah in the document.
Young and Mettraux contend that such connections in the case "are not clear," especially given that the prosecutor confirmed in another document the he does not accuse Hezbollah of being involved, nor does he plan to include Nasrallah in any way.
The two lawyers requested clarification on this issue, asking whether the prosecutor intended to make Hezbollah part of the indictment, in which case he must produce evidence to confirm such allegations.
It is important to note here several factors that negatively impact Young and Mettraux's work in the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL).
1) The accused will be tried in absentia and there are no lines of communication between the appointed lawyers and their clients that would allow them to discuss critical details of the case and determine the most effective defense strategy.
Therefore, the defense's primary role will be limited to raising questions about any accusations that are not backed by the kind of evidence that can stand up in a court of law.
2) The prosecutor's office submitted some of the information supporting their case – in particular those related to witness statements – over nine months late. The defense only managed to get access to this critical information last November, while the tribunal is set to begin within three months.
3) The Lebanese government has not been fully cooperative with the defense, undermining the attorneys' ability to collect the information necessary to make a strong case.
4) Young and Mettraux have yet to receive information requested from other countries and the UN.
Questioning the Foundations
Young and Mettraux will likely begin their defense by questioning the accuracy of basic information about their client, Assad Sabra – such as where he lives. There is no proof, for example, that the Beirut address that appears in the indictment does in fact belong to Sabra.
The two attorneys will also challenge the color-coded telephone networks that the prosecution claims were used by the accused to coordinate the execution of their plan. Such information remains at the level of allegations without any legally admissible evidence to back it up.
No Sign of Conspiracy
The STL indictment says that the four Lebanese accused of assassinating Hariri engaged in a criminal "conspiracy," starting on 11 November 2004 and ending on 16 January 2005. But according to the defense, these dates are vague at best, with no evidence confirming them.
The indictment also claims that Sabra, Hussein Oneissi, and an unnamed third person became part of the conspiracy in December 2004 and January 2005 without explaining the reasons for their involvement.
At one point, the prosecution states that "other persons whose identity is unknown" engaged in the conspiracy and were involved in carrying out the assassination. Here, the defense attorneys ask: Who are these "other persons"? Does the prosecution know who they are? If the answer to the latter question is yes, then their identities must be revealed to the defense.
Given that the prosecution has not handed over their names, it means that they do not know who they are, suggesting that there is no evidence that Sabra knows them or has any idea about their presence.
The prosecution argues that the criminal conspiracy was carried out on 14 February 2005, and its goal "which all the conspirators agreed to" was to ignite a large amount of explosives in a public place to assassinate Hariri.
But how did the "conspirators" arrive at such an agreement, and when and where? And what is the evidence provided to establish that this did in fact happen?
Sabra is accused of being part of the operation that recruited and then falsely implicated "Abu Adas" in the assassination, without explaining how that happened and by what means.
Therefore the defense questions the validity of such allegations, rejecting the involvement of Oneissi in the matter, including any relationship that ties him to Sabra.
The prosecution also claims that Oneissi called Abu Adas' home three times over the course of two days in January 2005, but this allegation is not mentioned in the indictment and therefore cannot be part of the prosecution's case.
Finally, the indictment notes that in the 75 minutes following the assassination, Sabra and Oneissi made four calls to the offices of Reuters and al-Jazeera using public payphones.
But the prosecution has refused to confirm that Sabra and Oneissi were in fact the ones who made the calls and does not provide any evidence to that effect.

West Restaurant at Hotel Angeleno
My department is having an offsite breakfast meeting at West Restaurant at Hotel Angeleno. Cha-ching and it's a fancy-schmancy pancake face!
My smiley-cakes were delicious, served up with fresh fruit, a dish of lemon curd and three chicken apple sausage links. All the plates my colleagues ordered looked equally tasty: French toast, smoked salmon, eggs benedict, omelets. Oh, if you need further distraction from the project at hand, the sweeping view from the 14th floor of the westside is pretty amazing, too. (Hotel Angeleno is the round hotel at the intersection on the 405 and Sunset Boulevard.) Work accomplished and a fourth pancake face to boot!

At Tuesday's Overlook Neighborhood Association Board meeting, the board voted unanimously to partner with the Arbor Lodge Neighborhood Association. The two neighborhood associations will apply jointly to the Portland State Masters of Urban Planning program for a study of N Greeley Avenue safety. If successful, the study will provide a template for improving safety around this important transportation corridor. Stay tuned in the weeks ahead for more details.
2) Neighborhood cleanup I (Nov. 6)
OKNA will partner with Love PDX as part of a citywide trash pickup. On Nov. 6 at 10 a.m., we'll meet near the Portland Community College Campus and work our way west down N Killingsworth. Gloves, bags and other supplies will be provided. For more information and to RSVP, email email@example.com.
Neighborhood cleanup
Sunday, Nov. 6, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Meet at PCC (N Killingsworth)
3) Sustainable Overlook movie nights (Nov. 6 & 22)
Join Sustainable Overlook for two more documentaries that will change the way you look at food, the economy and community. Free! All are welcome. Films start at 7 p.m. and run 50-90 min. Discussion afterwards. Food and drink available for purchase.
We had a good time in October watching "Inhabit: A Permaculture Perspective" and "The Power of Community: How Cuba Survived Peak Oil" at New American Restaurant (thanks for hosting!).

At this event, we will be digging up the old beds, moving a heavy tool box (need some muscle), pulling weeds, digging out thistle (bring gloves!), laying cardboard and mulch.
Bring any of the following:
- Gloves
- Hand-pruner
- Rake, spade, trowels
- Cardboard (no tape, staples or glossy coatings.)
- Newspaper (without glossy color sections.)
Please contact email@example.com if you have any questions or can make a contribution.
Leaf pickup comes to Overlook (south of Going) on Dec. 2.
Portland's urban forest is one of our smartest investments, paying economic, social and environmental dividends everyone enjoys, from cleaner air and water to lower cooling costs and increased property values. Of course, with trees come leaves – and when they fall in an urban environment, it's necessary to clean them up.
From mid-November to mid-December, removing leaves from our streets is critical because letting them stay on the street can clog storm drains, flood intersections and make streets slippery. Our Leaf Day Pickup program is about getting the leaves cleaned up in a way that makes a better, healthier and safer Portland.
Learn more about the pickup online.
6) Neighborhood cleanup II (Dec. 4)
Join your Overlook neighbors on Sunday, Dec. 4, noon-2 p.m. for a quick site cleanup on the north side of Going Street west of the Concord pedestrian bridge. We will bag trash and move large debris to the side of the road for pickup. This will help restore the natural area for the winter season so that it can blossom come spring.
It takes all of us working together to keep Overlook beautiful. Going is an important bicycle and vehicle transportation corridor that serves as the gateway to the neighborhood for many people. Let's not leave it looking trashed.
Bring heavy work gloves if you have them.

Authors vs. Reviewers – An Ongoing War? #HaleNo
Notice the question mark at the end of the post title. It's there because this is a widespread misconception that's hurting reviewers. Authors such as Joanne Harris spouting "not all authors" while calling reviewers, like Blythe, trolls is infuriating. This ignorance of how the reading community works is astonishing. If authors are to pass judgement on something that affects their readers, they should educate themselves before commenting in a public sphere.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, a powerhouse of aid. Seriously, it seems like they're involved everywhere. Including in my field of interest, food security, where they're financing a pilot program for the World Food Programme. FUN TIMES.

I am on a serious, rampant food binge. Like I can't stop. It's just been one of those days I guess! I'll be really good tomorrow until my dinner at Gourmet Burger Kitchen mmm.

I remain unemployed, but I passed my essay with flying colors! While I got a pretty low mark for having a sound argument (ouch), I did really well on the other points. This essay was 100% of my grade for a class, so I'm very happy I managed to earn a grade I'm happy with. Yeyy! And there were blue skies this afternoon! Wooo! And tonight I'm going to a wine and cheese party for UCL PostGrads that's FREEEEEE! YIPPY! I also ate a really good cookie today from Marks & Spencer. Things are okay. Though, I really need employment.
Also, Lianne arrives two weeks from today!

Bea's of Bloomsbury Scone Review
So I wanted to get a croissant at Bea's of Bloomsbury to continue the tradition. They didn't have Croissants, so I get an orange and cranberry breakfast scone. Here is my review:
I have only been to Bea's of Bloomsbury on one other occasion. For their absurdly sweet afternoon tea with Pamela. For 9.50£ you get a scone, clotted cream, jam, a cupcake and a variety of mini deserts plus obviously tea. I was super hungover that day and I just couldn't do it. It was just too much. However, I recognised that my judgement was probably impaired.
Note: I really need to be doing reading, instead I'm doing this. OH WELL.
So after my 9am lecture I walked to Bea's hoping for a croissant. No luck. I instead got an americano and a cranberry and orange breakfast scone. At home I heated it up and put it on a plate with a pat of butter and some jam. It was honestly perfect. Buttery and perfect on the outside, soft and flavourful on the inside. The butter melted into it and the jam was an excellent compliment. I may have had a terrible job interview yesterday, I may have within 10 hours sent 5 of the most awkward text messages of my life (sorry!), my body may be rejecting my decision to take an herbal mood lifter, it may be rainy and grey outside, my headphones may have died, an empty water bottle may have just exploded on my desk (well it jumped up on the air on it's own 1-wtf 2- call GHI!), and I may have not lost any weight this week (hopefully I gained muscle?), but Bea's has made everything okay, for at least a few minutes. Please, if you're in Bloomsbury go to Bea's. I can't wait to take Lianne there for their cheaper (£6) afternoon tea that comes with scones and jam. And I clearly need to start going there more.
Oh. My. God. And now my Peace and Security essay is ready for pick up. Ugh. I may need to go back to bea's later. FML. The last two days have been way too much.

A sizeable and vocal crowd witnessed the home side that is Trinity rugby's (DUFC) first league victory in six matches against a strong Old Belvedere outfit. Trinity will hope this win gives them the momentum they need to remain competitive in this competition and they will now looking to aim for a play-off spot rather than scrapping to avoid relegation.
It was a cold but largely dry night which suited both sides as they looked to play a quick, attacking style of rugby. This was a particularly important fixture as a Trinity win would allow them to leapfrog their opponents in the table. A Belvedere win would keep them clear of the relegation positions. It was the Anglesea Road outfit who got off to the brighter start and their early territory earned them a shot at goal which was easily converted to put the score at 3-0 to Belvedere.
From the ensuing kick-off, DUFC began to dominate. Patrick Finlay earned a penalty at the breakdown but Jack McDermott's kick fell short. This did not stop the momentum of the students and referee Joy Neville continued to penalise the cynical Belvedere play at the breakdown. Trinity opted to kick for the corner on more than one occasion but frustratingly failed to translate these chances into scores. Eventually, after 25 minutes, McDermott attempted another kick at goal which split the sticks to draw the teams level.
The visitors then came back into the game when a beautiful skip pass from out-half Daniel Riordan allowed them to go over for the game's first try in the left-hand corner. Trinity soon replied with a penalty and the score was 8-6 to Belvedere, who then upped their intensity just before half-time. This pressure led to the sin-binning of Trinity tight-head prop Andrew Keating. However, the scores remained the same at the break.
Despite being down to 14 men, DUFC started the second half very well and Belvedere had their own man sent to the sin-bin in the form of their hooker. McDermott knocked over the penalty to give the home side the lead for the first time. Their intensity did not drop and some stunning handling off the kick-off from backs and forwards alike allowed them to build field position once more. Snow arrived and Trinity kept it tight. A huge maul was collapsed by a Belvedere forward just short of his try line and he was duly sent to the bin by Neville. DUFC opted for the five metre scrum and after marching their opponents back, a penalty try was awarded. This was a fitting reward for Keating and Eric O'Sullivan, both of whom had been dominating their opposite number all game. McDermott converted to leave the score at 16-8 to Trinity.
Belvedere reacted quickly. Another wonderful pass from Riordan allowed their full-back to canter over on the right and after the conversion crept over off the post the score was 16-15. Finlay and flanker Brian Du Toit helped DUFC to regain the momentum with some great poaching at the breakdown. A nice backline move off a mid-field scrum allowed Michael Courtney to firmly hand-off his marker to break the line and then feed first year flyer Billy O'Hora who finished by the tree in the left-hand corner. With McDermott off the pitch, full back Brian Mollen, by no means a regular goal kicker, had to take the touchline conversion. Mollen is a natural footballer and absolutely nailed the kick which crucially put Trinity two scores ahead.
McDermott returned before the end of the game to convert one more penalty which put the score at 26-15. This is how it ended, DUFC crucially denying their rivals a losing bonus point. This was a hugely important win. Not only did it stop Trinity's long losing run but also moved them from eighth to fifth in the table. They are now one place away from the semi-final play-off positions rather than being one place away from the relegation positions. The performance will also have pleased the well wrapped-up supporters who headed straight for the Pav post-match with a spring in their step and the players will look to build on this going forward.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy has discussed plans for the show's final season.
The Fox musical comedy's executive producer has revealed that he knows which two characters will be involved in a "powerful and moving" last scene.
Glee will conclude with a sixth and final season in 2015, involving 24 episodes in total.
Murphy explained at a Glee Q&A that the sixth season will move away from McKinley High School and be set in a new location.
TVLine quotes him as saying: "The big plan of what the series was going to be and how it was going to end was radically changed when Cory [Monteith] passed away. Finn was going to sort of take over the glee club and Rachel was going to be off having her New York adventures.
"When Cory passed away, part of the story as we had imagined it didn't make sense anymore, really. It felt sad, to be quite honest. We collectively - Brad, Ian and myself - made a decision that the freshest thing to do was a complete, clean start. We accelerated all those New York stories, and I think that was the right choice. I think that gave the show a burst of new energy. It feels like a new show to me in that it's much more young-adult than it's ever been."
On whether the final season will catch up with the current crop of McKinley students such as Marley, Kitty and Unique, he explained: "At some point before the show is concluded, we will definitely catch up with those characters again.
"We really loved all of those actors, and they did a great service to the show. So I think at some point, before we're done, we'll see many of them again and find out where they are and check in with them and see how being a part of that glee club legacy affected their lives, as we do with our original characters."
On the final season's location, he revealed: "The final season is its own story in its own location. The final season is not New York-centric at all. It really is a lovely, fitting season that dwells on the original people on the show and what happens to them and how they give back. That really is the last season. We'll revisit some of the new kids that came and went, there's a return of [Sue] and [Will] in a big way. It's a really interesting, very sweet, satisfying ending to the story."
When asked about the overall final scene, he said: "Yes, we do have a final idea that we're working on that I think is very powerful and moving. It's about Rachel and Mr Schue, and it returns them to their origins, their roots, how they felt about each other when they were much younger and everything was idyllic. I think the ending has to be a reflection and a celebration of how far all those characters have come."
Murphy also confirmed that there will be a time jump between seasons five and six, while also revealing which cast members will return.
"We are going to do a time jump. And my feeling about the last season of Glee is very clear, and that is that we have, or we will be, reaching out to all the regulars on the show - the original group of glee club members and teachers, and anyone who wants to come back.
"Anyone who wants to be a part of the show, we welcome them. I know people are saying, 'Well, why isn't Heather [Morris] on the show now?' and things like that. The answer for some of these things is, Heather is a new mother. She has a young baby. She came and did four episodes and really loved it. I think she would be willing to come back and do a couple more, but right now, Heather wants to focus on being a mom.
"The fun thing about the ending of the show is that there's room for everybody to come back and be a part of it, and I hope they all want to. I think they do. When we just had our big 100th episode celebration, I spoke to many of them, and everybody in the cast seems to look back on the show with such fondness and nostalgia. I think everybody wants to come back and end that story correctly, so that's our answer. Anybody who wants to be a part of that ending, we'd love to have you."
Glee's current fifth season will conclude on Tuesday, May 13 at 9pm ET on Fox.

I'm currently writing another piece for comicommand, which will hopefully be posted tonight or tomorrow on the site. I'll then have it posted here after.
I have been posting more fiction to the wmoviegrapevine instagram. I started off posting short excerpts from some of my older poems, but then drifted towards non-fiction more since I started using daily life as more of an inspiration for my blog pieces and my instagram posts. I started returning to posting fiction pieces more often on wmoviegrapevine over the past week and have found that there has been greater engagement with this pieces: more likes and followers. I am nearly at 100 now, and was able to amass 20 new ones in a relatively short time.
Posting fiction pieces more also means that I have nearly exhausted the material from my poetry pieces. For that reason I want to start writing fiction pieces for the site more. I can then use these fiction pieces for the instagram posts and continue to build an audience. I think that this will also help me as I continue writing The Visitor again.
As I mentioned in my last update, I was caught up in vanity metrics for a while. I was paying attention to followers and likes, losing track of the main purpose of the account: getting more followers to the site. I have now installed Google Analytics but wish I had done it earlier. Now I can't see if anything I've done with my social media since the beginning has helped to increase site traffic. All I can do now is monitor the traffic from this point on.

Choosing to learn from the LORD no matter what our circumstances.
Our life situations can be very, very tough. This is an understatement when we are in horrendous situations.
This pumpkin formed and grew throughout the summer, wedged between the wall and electric pipeline. No matter the situation this pumpkin was in, it grew and matured to fruition. It will not be round, but it can still be a pumpkin.
When we are in our difficult life circumstances we can choose to allow ourselves to become angry, bitter, lifeless... The other option in our difficult situations is to run to the LORD in all our trials.
He is our solid rock. He is our strong tower.
In my experience and in the experiences of those whom I know, our own personal trials and tribulations may continue in the long run, but our choices to follow the LORD, read His Word regularly, rely on Him in all things, and actually rest in Him among the chaos of life, is why we have peace. It is His peace which passes all understanding. It is why we continue to grow closer to Him. It is why we have a precious relationship with Him, and a beautiful testimony even in our struggles.
Now, the fact is that this pumpkin is deformed because of its circumstances. We can not make it round, so the comparison of this pumpkin compared to each of us who are in agonies can't continue - unless it represents our choices to not draw closer to the LORD, and so we do become grumpy, angry, cruel, etc.
When we are in our agonies, a truth is that our trials can mar us - on the inside or the outside - physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually. Even so, we can still find our safety in the LORD. No matter what pain we endure, we can continue to grow closer to Him and find ourselves healthier in every way than those who choose poorly.
*Physical abuse is NOT okay* Seek out help from trusted family, friends, church body, law enforcement.
Proverbs 18:10
"The name of the Lord is a strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and is safe."
Psalms 18:1-3, 31
"I love You, O Lord, my strength."
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
And I am saved from my enemies."
"For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God"

Versuri VISION OF DISORDER - By The River
Album: VISION OF DISORDER - Imprint
Feel some pressure
An undistinguished knot of waste
Rising in your chest
The man laid open, a soul to test,
is this your last breath?
Cry, we have come too far...
Lonely sunrise, climbing into the sky,
Only to sleep...
We walk alone
Alone exposed to just blood and bone
Scouring graveyards
An empty Ritual for the hordes
In search of ourselves
Like complicated insects will
We discover strangers
When all drops silent
A grave where no light gets in
The world resents it
When all is placid
A tranquil place in time
Our Earth shattered
We ain't getting by...
Dusted twilight, spilling into moonlight
All our lives we're waiting to die
Open up your eyes
The sleeping eyes of time passed by
Never to realize
What might have been sin or doubt
Coming from the riverside
The side that's dried and petrified
Are screams of MERCY...
Why mercy's expected is beyond the point of points
Of points....
Of points....
We trample under a billion stars
And vines that wind over the houses
And past the trees
Smothering everything...

My son got a waffle maker from Santa Claus. He is is a true "foodie" at the age of 4! My son got the Waffle Zoo Waffle Maker. After my son opened the waffle maker, I had to find a recipe. I know that pancake mix is different from waffle mix so I did some research. One recipe I found is modified from Maria Cunningham's, The Breakfast Book.
Marion Cunningham's "The Breakfast Book".
Marion's Classic Waffles
2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
4 tsp baking powder
2 tbs sugar
2/3 stick of butter melted
1/3 cup shortening (i just use veg. oil)
1 1/2 cups milk warmed slightly
2 eggs beaten
1/3 cup shortening (i just use veg. oil)
1 1/2 cups milk warmed slightly
2 eggs beaten
Mix all the dry and wet ingredients, without mixing the eggs ahead of time. Pour into waffle iron.
Set timer so you don't overcook.
Set timer so you don't overcook.
Gluten Free Waffle recipe with chocolate chips
I settled on a gluten free recipe I modified from Bob's gluten free pancake mix.
1 1/2 cups of Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pancake Mix
1 large egg
3/4 cup of milk ( or cow, soy, rice, or almond milk)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I used coconut oil)
2 tablespoons or more of chocolate chips
Mix all ingredients and follow waffle maker directions as they may differ.
I also made homemade whipped cream for the waffles. It is so easy as my mom has made it as long as I can remember and is so much better than store bought. Mix half pint of organic heavy whipping cream (I like Clover organic or Strauss) with a teaspoon of vanilla and some powder sugar, use hand or electric mixer to whip, then modify ingredients if you want to add more vanilla or sugar. We never use a recipe, but a tip is to smart out light on both the vanilla and sugar.

Tree & Shrub Diagnostics
Download Form
Guidelines for Sending Tree & Shrub Specimens:
Please submit samples based on the following guidelines for tree and shrub diseases, tree and shrub insect identification, and landscape weed identification.
Fill out the Tree and Shrub Diagnostic Form as completely as possible. This form must accompany each specimen sent to the lab. Include your phone number, e-mail, and a fax number, if available, so we may contact you for further information or inform you of the diagnosis.
- Disease Samples: Send several plants/leaves/branches etc. showing a range of symptoms that are representative of the problem. Select samples from the area at the margin between the diseased portion of the plant and the healthy tissue. Dead plant material is of no diagnostic value because it often contains secondary organisms that make detection of the primary pathogen difficult.
- Place leaves, branches, and other plant parts in a plastic bag and seal it. Do not add moist towels or moisten the sample before sealing it.
- When sending entire plants, dig, rather than pull, roots from the soil. Wrap roots and attached soil in a plastic bag and secure to the trunk with a twist tie. Place a second bag over the foliage and punch a few holes through this bag for ventilation. Do not add additional water or moist towels.
- Vascular wilt specimens: Plants or plant parts that suddenly wilt may be infected with a vascular disease. Branch or stem sections 1/4" to 1" in diameter and 4" to 6" long should be taken from the wilting plant or recently wilted plant part. Avoid sending plant material that has been dead for any length of time.
- Insect Samples: Immature and soft-bodied insects should be placed in 70% ethyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol is not ideal, but may work). Other insects must be carefully packaged. Do not place loose insects into envelopes for mailing, as the automatic process for handling mail will most likely destroy the specimens.
- Weed Samples: Collect whole plant, including the roots, if possible. Wrap roots in a wet paper towel. Place plant in a zip-lock or freezer bag and seal with some air in the bag in order to prevent crushing. Place bag in a sturdy box or envelope for mailing.
Diagnostic Fees (payment payable to University of Massachusetts):
- Tree or shrub disease analysis - $50
- Tree or shrub insect ID - $50
- Landscape weed ID - $25
Payment Options
By check: Enclose your payment with the sample. Make checks payable to the University of Massachusetts
By credit card: Enclose a copy of your credit card sales confirmation with the sample.

(Not so) Frequent ramblings of an obsessed knitter/spinner, in SWFL. "I'm not obsessed, I'm just highly preoccupied." - Anonymous
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Well, I received a few questions about the needles so I thought I would make an extra post with some answers.
Well I am not good at estimating weights and measurements, but I'll try. I'm thinking under 100 grams. Because when I hold a pair of the needles in one hand, and either of these skeins in the other - the needles are slightly lighter.
The way we made them was interesting too. First we conditioned small pieces of polymer (1/2 inch by 1/2 inch is what I used, except I used twice as much of the white) in different colors, (DD used 3 colors, I used 4) flattened them into little pancakes and stacked them. Then twisted them quite a few times. Shaped them into little cubes, then cut thin slices.
Second, we took chopsticks and sanded the ends into points and lightly sanded the rest of them. Then lightly covered them with liquid polymer, to help the clay adhere. Then connected the slices to the sticks, smoothing as much as possible. DD added balls of the same mix to the tops, I used two slices each and made more cylinder type tops - We ran out of time so they don't match as well as I'd like, but they'll do. Then they were baked for 20 minutes while we had dinner.
Our demo instructor said to sand them with a super fine grit, under water. She said that makes for a smoother finish.
I haven't sanded mine yet, so I'll post when I do.

Briley: Thanks for sharing this! I may try it!
Tuesday September 25, 2007
Tammy M: The whole proccess? Well, the demo was 45 minutes long. But I could have used another 10 or 15, to get the shape correct on the top of the second needle. Then it was 20 minutes to bake. I'm guessing about the same for sanding.
Tuesday September 25, 2007
Joansie: Wow.....very interesting! What temperature in the oven? Is there a book that you can recommend?
Tuesday September 25, 2007
Lizzie: Thanks for the info, Tammy. Somewhere I have a pasta maker and everything to do the polymer clay stuff. Grand daughter is really doing well on her knitting...maybe I should make her some needles for her birthday in December.

There's probably nobody in hockey I'd rather speak with. He offers zero cliches and no b.s., just raw emotion and straight ahead honesty.
Sure, several players, both past and present, are universally liked. However, if you look hard enough, you can usually find a small pool of people who dislike certain guys - for whatever reason, logical or not.
Lappy is different. And he has been since he first arrived in Los Angeles in 1996. You show me one person who has EVER had a bad thing to say about him and that will be the first.
The guy is as real as they come.
He's been on MayorsManor a number of times, including his still popular guest spot on the podcast last November and again earlier this summer - when he stopped by to set the record straight about Mike Richards, in the days following the big LA-Philadelphia trade.
With the Flyers hosting the Kings tonight, who could possibly be better to kick off our 'what to watch for' segment today?
Here he is, the one and only...
MM: Philadelphia is known for being a great sports town. Yet, the fans can be tough. What type of reaction do you expect them to give Richards when he comes out of the locker room for the first time?
IL: I think they're going to applaud him. He was captain here for a couple of years and well liked. I don't think there is going to be any booing or anything like that. (Donovan) McNabb was way more controversial here than Richie was and they applauded him when the came back in town. So, I have a hard time seeing them booing Richie.
MM: How is Wayne Simmonds fitting in?
IL: He's fitting like a glove! I knew by trading for him and the way he plays - he's hard nosed, he goes to the net and he fights - he's a Flyers kind of guy. He's a Philly kind of guy too and even though it's only been a few games, they've seen quite a bit of what he's all about. He had a really good fight in the second game (against David Clarkson of the Devils). And he scored a big goal in that game too. He's in your face, he's intense and people like that, which is good. It doesn't surprise me.
MM: You've been really high on Kyle Clifford when we've spoken in the past. He used to sit right next to Simmonds in the locker room in LA. What do you think the chances are those two end up in a scrap tonight?
IL: I don't think you can try and plan that ahead of time. You never know what can happen in a game. But, in today's game, you don't have those big match-ups - where you just know two guys are going to fight for sure. You don't have that anymore. Now, it's more about the emotion and how the game goes (that determines) if something is going to happen. But, I doubt that those two are going to look for each other. They might find each other because something happens during the game. But, I don't think you can plan for that ahead of time.
MM: Many expected Brayden Schenn to be the rookie getting lots of attention in Philly this year. However, so far, it's been Sean Couturier. What have you seen from him so far?
IL: He's surprised me every night with his maturity. He had his first point on Wednesday night, but he does way more than that and that's what's surprising. That's why he's still here, it's not for his points. It's how great he is defensively and how responsible he is. There are people who say they see Jordan Staal in him. If he does become Jordan Staal, I think the Flyers are going to laugh (note: translation, they'll be pleased). He was drafted number eight overall and there are some people back in Quebec who say he was a steal at number eight. I can see why now too. I watched him play a couple of times last year (in the QMJHL), but to see him play here, he doesn't look out of place at all. In game one against the Bruins in Boston, he was on the ice for the last minute of the game and we were up by one goal. That shows a lot of confidence by his coach. But, on the other hand, if he wasn't getting the job done, the coach wouldn't be putting him out there.
MM: With Richards leaving, the Flyers obviously needed to give the 'C' to somebody else this year. How is the team adjusting to Chris Pronger as captain?
IL: I don't think it's that big of an adjustment. Prongs takes a lot of room in the locker room, like he did the past two years. But, that's Prongs. I'm a big fan of Chris Pronger for one reason only - he's a winner. We're in the business of winning and there's no better guy to lead a team to win. If you look at his resume, he's won the Cup once, yes - but, he took three teams to the Finals. He was a big part of all those runs. There's some people who don't like him. Well, like him or not, at the end of the day, he's a winner. So, I think there's no better guy to be the leader of this team right now.

Garlic Ginger Chicken
2 Tablespoons of grass fed butter, unsalted (I used goat butter I had purchased at Whole Foods.)
1 Tablespoon of ginger root, minced
5 cloves of garlic, smashed and minced
1/4 teaspoon of fish sauce
1/4 cup of coconut aminos
8 chicken thighs
1 teaspoon of salt (I didn't use any salt and the chicken was delicious.)
1 teaspoon of black pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the butter on low-heat.
3. Turn the heat to medium, and add the ginger, garlic, fish sauce, and coconut amines to the butter.
4. Allow the mixture to come to a bubble, and stir for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, and set aside.
5. Place the chicken thighs in an oven safe baking dish, and pour the sauce over the chicken. Optional: I used a large cast iron pan to cook the chicken on each side for a few minutes before placing in the oven.
6. Sprinkle each chicken thigh with pepper and salt (optional)
7. Bake the chicken for 45 minutes and allow it to cool slightly before serving.

Fiorentina coach Vincenzo Montella has admitted that it 'wouldn't be science fiction' if Stevan Jovetic re-joined the club during the winter window.
Fiorentina need a replacement for injured star Giuseppe Rossi and that may lead them back to Stevan Jovetic.
Rossi, who currently leads the Serie A scoring chart with 14 for the season, has suffered a serious knee injury and will be a massive loss to the Viola.
It looks almost certain that Fiorentina will enter the market as they are still without Mario Gomez, who is battling his own long-term injury.
And coach Vincenzo Montella has responded to links with Jovetic, who left for Manchester City last summer after a successful spell at the Stadio Artemio Franchi with scepticism, but admits such a move wouldn't be impossible.
"We need a second striker to compete at a certain level," Montella told Sportmediaset.
"It seems that Jovetic is injured too, so we'd be set! But it isn't science fiction."
Montella was also asked whether he would consider Udinese striking veteran Antonio Di Natale who has announced his intention to retire at the end of the season.
"What about Di Natale for the last six months of his career? No, we have spoken to him so many times before and it has never gone as we hoped," Montella explained. "This time we won't be calling on him."
