This recipe looks so yummy; I think I'll make it today! Just cleaned out much of my garden yesterday, and have revived kale and volunteer Swiss chard, fresh-picked carrots and bell pepper, and tomatoes and parsley still available. mmcmillen AT macnet DOT com.ReplyDelete

This salad looks AWESOME!!! I would like to try this exact rice. I love to make rice in chicken stock and then eat it just like that but I tend to always make fried rice out of it. shirleystann AT q.comReplyDelete
I know a girl's gotta make some money...but I hate it when bloggers shill. :( When a brand is all about honest, tales of life in the country, it's always sad for readers to feel like they're just 'for sale'. Every article 'written for hire' feels like a violation of (implied) trust. Exactly why the advertisers exploit it. Just my opinion. Thanks for listening. A Marketing Exec who knoweth of what she speaketh.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Tracy,Delete
I'm sorry you feel that way. I believe I responded to a similar comment you made back in 2012: http://www.farmgirlfare.com/2012/06/monday-dose-of-cute-anyone-for-apple.html.
Rather than simply deleting your new comment (which, by the way, is very hurtful), I chose to go ahead and publish it here, then give a short version of why I write a few of these very carefully chosen BlogHer review posts each year:
I have been working extremely hard creating TOTALLY FREE blog content for readers around the world for over 8 years.
In a good month, I'm lucky to earn minimum wage.
The bulk of my blogging income is derived from advertising income, just like millions of other businesses.
When my publishing network, BlogHer (which helps over 3,500 mostly women bloggers earn an income from their hard work) asks me if I'd like to create an ORIGINAL RECIPE for a product I like and believe in, and yes, they're going to pay me for my time, I say yes.
And then, as always, I put 110% into my job, creating a unique, entertaining blog post that no one is required to read.
I love blogging, but it's a job for me, and I can't do it for free. I already do that with farming. :)
Basically everyone who gets paid for doing any job is "for sale."
Well, thanks for posting it. Blogs, all social media really, are intended to be dialogues (hence the comments sections), and in any 'conversation, not all thoughts will be in total agreement. One just hopes that there is some thought and respect put into all comments (and posts) so as to foster real communication and not just impulse 'flaming'.Delete
Susan, as you also know, I've posted many supportive and quite complimentary comments to your blog, alll of which I meant. Indeed, I enjoy reading it very much. I love the unfiltered, genuine insights provided by bloggers who let us see into their world, experience a lifestyle not available to us where we live, etc. As social media becomes more and more commercial --and from the perspective of an Advertising Director for many years, and later, a Chief Marketing Officer-- we run the risk of these "advertorials", sponsored (and influenced by implication) posts diluting exactly what we love most about the medium.
Your brand, to this reader, is an intelligent, pragmatic, perspective into a animal filled, weather buffeted, hard working life and I enjoy it very much. My original post was written with care, intended to highlight the 'compromise' to your brand that writing/reviewing products for hire brings-- it is exactly why advertisers seek you, and others like you, out. Your testimonial to their products helps them sell. It's a marketing strategy I've employed myself as an advertiser.
However, it is a development to personal blogs that makes me sad. Unlike the more commercial blogs, or tweeting-for-hire, or other forms of overtly commercial social media, I so want personal blogs to remain unadulterated, a pure recount of a life far from mine. And so I voice that opinion, and try to state why, respectfully.
I can only imagine that farming is a tough life financially. I get it. Some bloggers, using their blogs for income as well, state very overtly that they are being paid to write about a product (and of course the post will be positive or they'd never be asked to do it again, right?).
I'd love for blogs to be straightforward folk-literature. But if they can't, perhaps a more forthright mention of motive would help preserve the very trustworthy nature of your personal brand.
And that, dear writer, was the point I was trying to make. Thanks for listening and for keeping the dialogue open.
- Anonymous10/09/2013 1:59 PM
Well, I disagree vehemently, Tracy. I think Farmgirl Susan's RELATIVELY FEW sponsored blog posts are carefully chosen and of a very thoughtful nature. She created a (what appears to be quite delicious) recipe specifically for a product that she uses and likes, and she shared it with us. Exactly how is that different or "inauthentic" from what she normally does?Delete
Not to mention that Farmgirl Susan was quite transparent that this was a sponsored post. You are completely out of line to demand "a more forthright mention of motive." Her "motive" is absolutely none of your business, Tracy.
Listen, she's not shilling Doritos. She's not going all Sandra Lee and using convenience mixes. And if she got some compensation for creating this recipe, what's it to YOU? We all enjoy her recipes FOR FREE ALL THE TIME. Why shouldn't she occasionally get compensated for them?
I think you need to take your yearnings for "folk literature" and start your own blog. And do please proceed to tell us all about your career marketing goods to consumers. Do tell us all about how forthright you were in representing brands--regardless of your connection to them--FOR PAY. Tell us all about the "genuine, unfiltered insights" you used to make brands appear trustworthy. It should make for some excellent reading. I mean, you know--as a pure recount of a life far from the rest of ours, and all that.
And to think that a former Chief Marketing Officer actually has the chutzpah to chide a food/farm blogger for a sponsored post. That, folks, is what some of us refer to as unmitigated effrontery. Because I am hoping to have my voice heard here, I am not even going to enter the giveaway. But I will continue to buy RiceSelect products and intend to make and thoroughly enjoy the recipe Susan so generously concocted for our enjoyment.
Yours in the best interest of keeping the dialogue open,
- Anonymous10/13/2013 11:11 AM
As a marketing exec you have, no doubt, participated in wrapping something as nutritionally toxic as pop tarts in a 'lifestyle' to which people should aspire. The audacity of you criticizing Susan for creating a recipe that uses a rice mix is appalling to me. That you, who have most likely made a significant amount of money pushing products of dubious usefulness or even safety, would dare to find fault in this post is absurdly hypocritical! Why don't you start your own blog and provide unfiltered insight to the life of an advertising exec where you let everyone know the ins and outs of deceiving the public? In doing so I'd be very interested in whether you would post any of the negative comments you would receive. No, more likely you would filter out anything that didn't support your view of the world. Evidently it's ok for you to earn excessive amounts of money hawking products you most likely don't believe in nor use but woe be tide that an average hardworking blogger earns a few dollars for creating a recipe.
"My original post was written with care, intended to highlight the 'compromise' to your brand that writing/reviewing products for hire brings-- it is exactly why advertisers seek you, and others like you, out. Your testimonial to their products helps them sell. It's a marketing strategy I've employed myself as an advertiser. "
So it's ok for you to do this but not for Susan? How does this recipe alter the authenticity of this blog? I for one appreciate her opinion on products because unlike big marketing execs such as you, she actually used the product. How many of the products you hawked over the years did you actually use? No, your original post was written as a whiny temper tantrum from someone who just realized that just like you bloggers have bills to pay and from time to time will earn money from their blogging endeavors. You're like the child upset when they are told by an older sibling that Santa isn't real. Your idyllic view of bloggers pouring out their heart just for the sheer enjoyment of strangers has been cracked so you lash out just as the child lashes out at their sibling about the lack of Santa's existence.
I've been reading this blog for a couple of years now and only commented one other time on one of the dog photos (which I love) but your pompous self centered comment could not go unanswered. Your contention that Susan was not forthright in this being a paid recipe is equally off base as the rest of your issues. Perhaps you should go back and read the first paragraph where she states quite clearly that she was commissioned to develop a recipe.
- Jean firstname.lastname@example.com/26/2013 6:01 AM
Love the Jasmati. Susan, your rice salad was fabulous and you can "shill" at me anytime you want! I'm so sorry you were hurt by Tracy's comments - I'm even sorrier she couldn't find it in her heart to actually apologize for the comment. I'm sure she makes a great living shilling the public. Zora beautifully said everything I was feeling after reading all this, so I won't ad to it. Thanks for your blog and your recipes - they are all great.Delete
Tracy, Susan is far kinder to you than you deserve, but I have no diplomatic dog in this fight so do not have to be. To be blunt, hypocrites like you make me sick. You freely admit how much enjoyment and happiness this blog gives you; you benefit from the obviously incredible amounts of effort Susan puts into it on top of all the other work she and Joe have to do to care for the farm, the animals and oh yeah, themselves, and yet, despite her amazing generosity in sharing all of it with us, you choose to cavil at the incredibly rare sponsored post that somehow disturbs your vision of Farmgirl Fare as something entirely detached from the economic reality of what it takes to keep that farm - and by extension, the blog you claim to enjoy so much - going. That you could stand on your soapbox denouncing Susan for doing what YOU FREELY CHOSE TO DO FOR A LIVING - and for which you probably got paid a h*ll of a lot more money than she will ever see from these small sponsored listings - is truly nauseating, and you should be utterly ashamed of yourself. Rather than stick your negativity into the mix whenever there is a remunerated post for certain product, why don't you just delete it and QUIETLY wait for the next dose of sweet Jasper, the pups, magic donkeys and rest of the gang?Delete
I would also like to point out that many of these sponsored posts benefit FF's readers, such as the $100 gift card offered as part of this post. You have no idea what financial circumstances some of those readers might be in, in which a gift card or other prize might be very welcome indeed. But no, your narcissism and disdain would block any such charitable thoughts - you obviously don't need such things, so why should anyone else, right? For God's sake, take off those stupid rose-colored glasses and take a basic astronomy course so you can learn that the world does not, as you seem to think it does, actually revolve around you.
High five, Lisa!Delete

This looks fabulous! Since the garden is 'done for' in the NC mtns by late Oct. I plan to add the Royal red, white and wild blend to my new found pumpkin soup recipe. My local grocery doesn't carry this brand but found it on Amazon. Love your great bread recipes Susan. Thanks! jmkdearmin at gmail dot comDelete
I would like to try the Royal Blend Whole Grain with Texmati Brown & Wild Rice.ReplyDelete
Susan! We adore Texmati rice. After leaving the grocery mecca that is Southern California and Trader Joe's on every street corner, I'm bereft without my Trader Joe's brown basmati rice, the only rice I can make successfully. Now living in the hinterlands of New England and 1.5 hours from the closest TJs, we've discovered the beauty of Texmati, which is grocery store available! I've used only the brown basmati, but now will explore the blends which sound fabulous, thanks to you! Am running out now to pick kales, leeks, parsley, peppers, tomatoes, and garlic already harvested. You've never posted a recipe we have not loved, and this one looks over the top, fabulous. Thanks for pointing out the grain blends of Texmati. Will delight in exploring them! Thanks so much to you!!!ReplyDeleteReplies

I love RiceSelect products and always have their Arborio Rice and Whole Wheat Pearl Couscous in the cupboard. Last night I made a delicious mushroom risotto with Chanterelle mushroom (whohoo!!) that I found at a local farm stand on Sunday. (Love this time of year in New England.) I'll look for the Brown, Red, & Wild Rice blend in my supermarket. Sounds like it might be a new favorite!ReplyDelete

No pasta or bread in our house means a LOT of rice and potatoes. Rice skillet meals are a fall-back for anything I have around. Rice+vegetables+meat (sausage, ground beef, ground lamb) stirred around in a skillet with cheese=dinner.ReplyDelete
Susan you have educated at least moi, I had never heard of the Texmex rice blend. I have followed your blog for a couple of years now and know enough that if I don't want to use a certain product I can ably substitute something that I have in the cupboard.

Oooh, I think I'll have to pick up some of the Royal Blend Texmati Light Brown rice with Flaxseed. I love me some Omega fatty acids. I love to make my rice with black beans. Or some veggies mixed in (not as many as your recipe, so I'm going to have to look into that one!). Thanks!ReplyDelete

Here's the thing---we love this blog and we love you Farmgirl Susan! Every recipe of yours I have ever tried has been great---the recipes are obviously well tested and that makes a big difference for us when we try to follow them---you give us helpful tips and ideas for variety.ReplyDelete
Yes, we might try a product because you write about it because we know you and know that you would only write about something that you actually like--- I am not a big rice lover but you inspire me to want to try these. What's wrong with that :)!
I wish we (your fans) could come up with more ways for you to bring income to the farm. We'll think about it!
Thanks for the another tempting recipe.

When I make rice as a side dish I add several different ingredients. Adding butter and turmeric adds an Indian flair. I also make a tomato-free Spanish rice using chili powder and chicken broth. However, a traditional pilaf with beef consoume, onion, celery, and carrots is my fave!

Two powerful dairy organizations, The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), are petitioning the Food and Drug Administration to allow aspartame and other artificial sweeteners to be added to milk and other dairy products without a label.
The FDA currently allows the dairy industry to use "nutritive sweeteners" including sugar and high fructose corn syrup in many of their products. Nutritive sweeteners are defined as sweeteners with calories.
This petition officially seeks to amend the standard of identification for milk, cream, and 17 other dairy products like yogurt, sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, and others to provide for the use of any "safe and suitable sweetener" on the market.
They claim that aspartame and other artificial sweeteners would promote healthy eating and is good for school children.
According to the FDA notice issued this week:
"IDFA and NMPF state that the proposed amendments would promote more healthful eating practices and reduce childhood obesity by providing for lower-calorie flavored milk products. They state that lower-calorie flavored milk would particularly benefit school children who, according to IDFA and NMPF, are more inclined to drink flavored milk than unflavored milk at school."
Although the FDA considers aspartame to be a "safe and suitable" sweetener, a recent Yale University study appears to directly challenge the claim that aspartame would reduce obesity. In fact, the study concluded just the opposite, that artificial sweeteners actually contributed to obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
The IDFA and NMPF argue "that the proposed amendments to the milk standard of identity would promote honesty and fair dealing in the marketplace" yet they don't want changes to the labels on dairy products.
Accordingly, the petitioners state that milk flavored with non-nutritive sweeteners should be labeled as milk without further claims so that consumers can "more easily identify its overall nutritional value."
It's unclear how consumers can more easily identify the overall nutritional value of milk products that are flavored with non-nutritive sweeteners without labels.
Quoting Section 130.10 of the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990, the dairy giants claim a new label is not required because sugar is added to milk without labeling it, and "the modified food is not inferior in performance" and "'reduced calorie' (labels) are not attractive to children" so marketing as such is of no benefit or detriment.
The FDA has opened public comments until May 21 for anyone interested to "submit comments, data, and information concerning the need for, and the appropriateness of, amending the standard of identity for milk and the additional dairy standards."

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - A Florida appellate court has set aside two of the four convictions Casey Anthony faced for lying to detectives during the investigation into her missing 2-year-old daughter.
Judges on the 5th District Court of Appeals agreed with Anthony's attorneys Friday that two of the charges constituted double jeopardy, or being convicted more than once for the same crime.
The judges, however, ruled that the trial court was correct to allow her statements to detectives to be used during her murder trial.
Anthony's attorneys had argued that she was in police custody at the time and hadn't been read her Miranda rights.
Anthony was acquitted of killing Caylee in 2011. Jurors convicted her of four counts of lying to detectives, and her attorneys appealed those convictions.

One of Manet's most significant works is "Luncheon on the Grass," which depicts a nude model in the presence of two men. This piece provoked and offended the critics of the time who claimed it was pornographic and immoral. The Salon, one of the most influential galleries in Paris at the time, refused to exhibit the work, but it proved to be one of the pivotal works of art in the Salon des Refuges, a gallery whose specific reason for existence was to display the rejected works of leading artists.
Many of the young Impressionists of the time followed Manet's lead and broke away from the traditional artistic styles of the past. This trend eventually served as the basis for modern art.

Documentation of the natural range of variation in ecological, life history, and physiological characteristics of caribou (Rangifer tarandus) of the Porcupine caribou herd is a necessary base for detecting or predicting any potential effects of industrial development on the performance (e.g., distribution, demography, weight-gain of individuals) of the herd. To demonstrate an effect of development, post-development performance must differ from pre-development performance while accounting for any natural environmental trends. We had 2 working hypotheses for our investigations: 1) performance of the Porcupine caribou herd was associated with environmental patterns and habitat quality, and 2) access to important habitats...

The Lowdown on Garage Lifts: Part 2
There are plenty of great reasons to invest in a home garage lift, with storage, convenience and value at the top of the list. From a storage standpoint, a four-post lift allows you to store one car over another, while the convenience comes from having your classics in the garage rather than stored offsite – as well as the convenience of access. It's a lot easier to chase an oil leak or bolt-on a cat-back exhaust system when you can raise your car.
The value factor is more subjective, but most hobbyist-style lifts that support up to 8,000 or 9,000 pounds can be had in the $2,000-$2,500 range – and often less. Considering the cost of offsite storage, the lift pays for itself in as little as a year or two. And while undeniably heavy, lifts are surprisingly uncomplicated. They can be dismantled with relative ease and moved. In fact most don't need to be permanently anchored to the floor.
With the advantages of a lift hard to argue, you may have decided to make room for one in your life – but is there room for one in your garage? We've outlined the basics below of what it typically takes to fit a lift in a conventional garage, assuming it will be used as a stacker to store one car above another. Check them out and take some measurements in your garage before picking up the phone or buying a lift online.
Ceiling Height – If you're going to stack your cars, inadequate floor-to-ceiling clearance could be the deal breaker. Generally speaking, a 10-foot ceiling is probably the minimum height you need to stack a couple of typical American cars. Let's take a pair of 1969 Chevelles, for example. On stock suspensions, they each come in around 54 inches tall. That's 108 inches – 9 feet – of stacked muscle cars right there, without the lift factored in. The top car will rest on ramps that are perhaps 6 inches tall. That leaves only a 6-inch cushion of space to split between the cars and the ceiling.
Corvettes, Porsche Speedsters and other lower-profile cars will obviously open up the window of space to work with, but clearly the height of your garage is the overriding factor to consider. Some enthusiasts have modified the ceiling of their garage to accommodate a lift, but that requires some serious structural surgery.
Floor Width – In most suburban two-car garages, you should have enough space to install a lift and still park another car next to it. Generally, the width of a typical four-post lift is about 9.5 feet, while the typical width of a two-car garage door is 16 feet. That means you'll have to offset the lift's installation to "hide" one side of its posts inside the door's opening to enable a vehicle to easily pull in beside it, but if you have the height to accommodate a lift, the floor space shouldn't be a problem.
Floor Length – An important factor many enthusiasts neglect is the length of the lift. It is necessarily longer than most vehicles, typically stretching anywhere from 220 to 235 inches, or nearly 20 feet. That's longer than land yachts like the 1959 Pontiac Bonneville, so it's important to take your tape measure and ensure you've got the depth in your garage to accommodate it. Work benches and other equipment chew up a lot of space that could make a difference on whether the lift fits.
Garage door – The final consideration is the garage door and, more specifically, the tracks and even the motor for the opener. Even if you have the height to accommodate stacking your cars, the lift posts may interfere with a conventional roll-up garage door and its tracks, or there may not be sufficient clearance between the top vehicle and the door when it's opening or closing. The same goes for the opening motor, which may hang down to interfere with the maximum height you can raise a car.
Because of the variety of garage doors and the varying dimensions of lifts on the market, it's best to speak with a lift manufacturer and describe the dimensions of your garage and type of garage door you have. Don't make assumptions simply because you have adequate ceiling height.
With luck, all the dimensions in your garage will accommodate a lift and soon you'll be enjoying the storage, vehicle maintenance and other benefits it offers.
The first thing to do before ordering or installing a garage lift is checking the floor-to-ceiling height. Ten feet is basically the minimum required to stack one average car above another. Also note the garage door opener – even with a tall enough ceiling, the opener may impede the
maximum height a vehicle can be raised.
This garage has several cars packed into it because after taking the proper measurements, the owner determined the there wasn't enough ceiling clearance for stacking cars. It would have been adequate if he simply wanted the lift for maintenance and repairs.
Here's a great example of cars stored one above another. There's plenty of clearance between the vehicles and while the top car is close to the ceiling, there's obviously room to lower it even closer to the bottom car – although a low-slung Acura NSX doesn't have nearly the height of a
pair of typical American muscle cars.
If you simply have to have a lift to accommodate your collection, the extreme option is altering the ceiling to make room for the top vehicle – but even then, you must ensure the garage door rolls up without interference.
Another consideration is the length of the garage space. Check the lift's specs to make sure it will fit in the garage and still enable access to a work bench, storage shelves, etc.

There are a wide range of roofing systems and materials from which to choose. The right solution for your facility will depend on the specific needs and budgets for that facility as well as the owner's or user's expectations for performance Because Tecta America is certified with every major roofing manufacturer, we can work with you to select the absolute best roofing system to meet the goals of your facility. We have the expertise and experience to tailor a roofing solution to the specific needs of your facility no matter the size or complexity.
Architectural Sheet Metal
Architectural sheet metal is the custom fabrication of metal flashings, trim, and sometimes ornate metals utilizing a multitude of materials. The metal types utilized range from conventional metals like steel and aluminum to high end materials like zinc, copper, lead, and metals with custom colored finishes.
Built up Roofing
The built-up roofing system is compiled from multiple layers of roofing plies (typically 2 to 4) adhered with adhesive or hot asphalt. The roof system is usually surfaced with a gravel layer embedded in hot asphalt or adhesive but can also be surfaced with a granulized cap sheet or coating. It can be installed over a multitude of roof decks and insulations.
Roof coatings are typically used in a restorative capacity to prolong the lifespan of an existing roof. Roof coatings can be installed over existing modified bitumen roofing systems, built-up roofing, metal roofing, and spray foam roofing. Multi-year manufacturer warranties also are commonly available.
Metal Roof
Metal roofing systems typically consist of concealed or exposed fastener systems, and rely on concealed metal clips attached to the structure, with the majority of the attachment hidden from view. Metal roofing systems have matching metal trim and flashings. These systems one of the longest lasting roof systems available when properly designed and installed.
Modified bitumen
Modified bitumen roofing systems are multi-ply systems usually consisting of 2-3 layers of a composite roll and surfaced with granules or foils. These systems are typically utilized on low slope roof areas in conjunction with varying insulations and deck systems, but are sometimes installed on steep slope substrates.
Single Ply
Single ply roofing systems are one layer of roofing membrane over various cover boards, insulation, and roof decks. Some common single ply roofing systems are TPO, PVC, and EPDM materials. Typical installation methods include mechanically attached, fully adhered, or ballasted.
Tapered Insulation Systems
The system is an assembly of roof insulation that is sloped to provide primary slope on a roof deck where the existing roof deck does not provide adequate drainage. Slopes typically range from ¼" per foot to ½" per foot. It is utilized on several different roof decks and under most any low slope roofing system.
Waterproofing systems are utilized to prevent the passage of water under hydrostatic conditions (where water is present). System components include a membrane and additional components such as insulation and drainage materials. These are typically below-grade installations but can also include above grade walls, patios, and balconies.
Roof Replacement
The process of removing the existing roof system, repairing any damaged substrate and installing a new roof system; also known as "reroofing" and "tear-off and replacement".
New Construction
The construction of a roof system on a new building or building addition. New construction roof systems do not involve the removal, recover or replacement of an existing system.
Repairs and Services
Extreme weather, including tornadoes, hail, heavy snow, downed trees, even seasonal freeze and thaw cycles can damage your roof and lead to leaks.
Preventative Maintenance
A maintenance plan to help avoid unexpected budget and roofing issues, facility downtime and premature roof failure or replacement.
Roof Asset Management
Tecta's asset management software system offers facilities managers a powerful tool to plan, budget, manage, and optimize their roofing portfolio.
Emergency Response
Emergency nationwide crews are here 24/7 to inspect the roof, assess the condition and begin making temporary or permanent repairs.
Customer Service
Providing an immediate point of contact, professionals are available 24/7/365 – by phone, fax or email.
Historic Restoration
Repair or replacement of the roof structure of a historic facility, to bring it back to its original condition.
Skylight/Smoke Hatch
An economical method for daylighting a facility while meeting fire code would be a single unit skylight/smoke hatch combination.
Snow Removal
If a roof collapses, you risk building damage, productivity loss, or an injury to a building occupant. A roofing snow removal team will understand the complexities and layout of your roof.
Cool Roof
Cool roof surfaces can remain at markedly lower temperatures when exposed to solar heat compared to roofs constructed with traditional non-reflective roofing products. Tecta America professionals can help assess your needs depending on your building and its geographic location.
Green Roof
Green or Vegetative Roofs are composed of several layers including an underlying waterproofing system, soil media and vegetation. Benefits of this system include: lower energy costs, LEED recognition, air quality, reduced storm water runoff, and an extended roof life.

The U.S.-backed blockade of the Gaza Strip is "collective punishment" – a war crime under international law, as established in the Fourth Geneva Convention. It must end. That is why I will shortly be setting sail in the Freedom Flotilla II — Stay Human.
We will be departing on our trip very soon. I will be in New York for a press conference with other passengers on Monday morning, and flying to Athens in the afternoon.
Last Day to Send Letters to Gaza!
If you have not done so already please write a letter to the people of Gaza for carriage on The Audacity of Hope. This is our only cargo on the boat. Writing a letter is no simple thing – it requires time and thought – which is why we often don't do it. Please take 20 minutes and compose your own. They must be received today (Friday) – therefore they will have to be emailed. Send them to email@example.com. If you prefer to handwrite them, or include illustrations, scan it as an attachment to your email. And when you send your letter, please let me know! I'd like to tally how many people have participated. There is a very real chance that we will not reach Gaza. However, if nothing else gets through, the letters will!
If you have any doubts, Tarak Kauff explains briefly why the letter writing campaign is such an important part of our mission and includes his letter as an example. For background on the campaign and ideas for your letter, visit UstoGaza. They will eventually be collated into an exhibit and perhaps also a book. Exhibition of Letters to Gaza Being Prepared.
"We have sent copies of some of the Letters to Gaza via email to the Qattan Centre for the Children in Gaza City. They are using those to prepare a display that will be put together once they have the letters being brought on The Audacity of Hope."
One idea for your letter is to tell the people of Gaza what you are doing to challenge U.S. complicity. One such letter was recently posted on Facebook:
Dear Friends in Gaza,
I follow with great sadness the news of Israel's continuing siege of the Gaza community. I visited Gaza twice between 1988-1992, and saw what a beautiful land it could be IF you were allowed the freedom to make it so. Freedom to fish, tend your citrus groves, build up your economy, rebuild the damaged homes and infrastructure.
I participate in a small Friday afternoon vigil on a busy street. We have several signs, including END THE SIEGE OF GAZA and HONK FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINE – this is mine; the honks are heartening.
I greatly admire your resilience and steadfastness. Know that you are remembered in my prayers.
Sister F.S.
As another example, here is my letter:
To the people of Gaza,
As a taxpaying U.S. citizen, I have been deeply troubled by the role my government plays in oppressing the people of Gaza for many years. In that time I have been vexed by how best to oppose the policies of Washington. How to make an impact? Strange to say of what people call a 'democracy,' but it is a challenging thing to change government behavior – even when most people are on our side.
Many in my country feel totally powerless towards such things. Not to mention isolated and surrounded by the mundane pressures of a consumerist society that effectively discourages substantive political involvement of any kind. I am, therefore, grateful to be able to participate in the Freedom Flotilla 2 as a passenger on The Audacity of Hope.
I mention these things by way of attempting to explain how it is that the U.S. has gone on enabling Israeli crimes year after year. It is not that the American people agree with what is being done to Gaza – though the corporate press does what it can to shape opinions, and not without effect – but rather, it is that our society strongly discourages manifestations of solidarity between peoples. People do not know, or if they know, they feel powerless.
However, it is not hopeless. In recent years, slowly but surely, I have seen Palestine solidarity movements in the U.S. grow stronger and inspire ever more people. When I first became active in organizing awareness-raising events at my university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Israeli assault on the Jenin refugee camp had just occurred. We formed a Students for Justice in Palestine chapter. In the years since, greater coordination and hopes for change have snowballed with groups like U.S. Campaign to End the Occupation and Jewish Voice for Peace. And the Arab Spring has given us all a new sense of possibility.
I speak for many of my fellow Americans when I write: we do not consent to what the U.S. government is doing to the Palestinian people. Our hearts are with you!
Sincerely yours,
Steve Fake
Video statements from individual passengers on why they are participating are being posted daily, here. Keep checking back for more, including one from me, in the coming days.
Follow breaking news updates on the boat at Facebook and Twitter.
It is quite likely that there will be periods of time when I am unable to communicate. The boat is equipped with satellite communications; however, the Israelis have in the past used electronic jamming equipment. It is also more probable than not that our ship will be boarded, and that we will be detained in an Israeli port. Organizers will be working with land teams in New York, Athens, Israel, and Gaza. They will have the most up-to-the-minute information on what is happening to us. The above links to the Facebook and Twitter accounts of the U.S. Boat to Gaza are thus the best resource. You do not need to have accounts with these sites to follow the updates at the links.
I will post my own updates as I am able at Scramble for Africa.

Cross-posted from the Colorado Progressive Jewish News.
Unable – or restrained from – attacking Iran (or getting the United States to do so), Israel had to get its military rocks off somewhere else, so it has turned its fire power on Gaza?
As in 2008, Netanyahu and Lieberman waited until after the U.S. presidential elections were over, but before the new administration had been put into place and a clear U.S. policy towards Israel-Palestine in Obama's second term had been fleshed out. Did Netanyahu cut a deal with Washington? That is not clear at the moment, although it is implausible that there wasn't some kind of 'consultation' and green light from Obama.
To think otherwise is to live in la-la land.
It is likely that if Obama did approve Israeli military action it was on a somewhat limited basis with strict 'red lines' that should not be crossed, among them, avoiding any sustained ground attack on Gaza involving a large Israeli Defense Force (IDF) contingent. It is more likely that Obama Administration – enthusiastically or grudgingly – agreed to a drone-like attack that would limit Israeli casualties and deflect world public opinion. The idea is to inflict maximum damage on the Palestinians in the shortest amount of time with minimum political and human negative impacts on Israel (and the U.S.A.). Still it is possible that Netanyahu, with his visceral antipathy for Obama, is taking matters into his own hands, or letting the situation deteriorate so that the logic of war gives the Israeli Prime Minister and his bonkers foreign minister, Lieberman, the excuse to change the rules of the game…and invade.
To invade with ground troops or not to invade, that is the question.
One thing seems certain.
This massive (to date) air assault on Gaza was not a spontaneous act. Every step of this offensive was carefully planned, stupid, as are most wars, but carefully planned. The Israeli military is trying to compensate for its two last military incursions: the 2006 Lebanon offensive in which Hezbollah gave an unsuspecting Israeli ground offensive a very bloody nose and the 2008 ground offensive into Gaza, the result of which Israel lost a great deal of public support. Their argument that the war was somehow defensive and that the Israeli army avoided civilian casualties flew in the face of the facts. Israel has yet to recover.
What is missing from all this – the Israeli have yet to learn it – is that military solutions will not solve their crisis with the Palestinians and that try as they might there is no way, none, to put makeup on the ugly face of Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories. Whatever happens here, Israel will almost certain gain the upper hand militarily but lose this war politically – as happened in Lebanon in 2006 (where they didn't even win the fighting) and in Gaza in 2008. There is just no way to bomb their way to peace.
The plan – it is now public knowledge – was a quick but decisive air strike that would pulverize Hamas, and by so weakening it, make any serious peace initiative, once again, impossible. It is a model of warfare similar to what the U.S. is pursuing in Yemen, Pakistan, etc – an air war combined with targeted assassinations. The U.S. does it with drones, the Israelis with F-16 and naval fire power both pounding Gaza to smithereens, once again. For the Gaza war to be a success it is essential it be short and dirty for a number of reasons, among them
• It prevents a sustained mobilization of world public opinion against Israel's actions.
• It cuts Israeli casualties.
• It is meant to humiliate the regimes that have come to power through the Arab Spring by exposing their impotence to this crisis, thus creating more tensions in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, between the unstable governments and the people, etc.
• It permits the Middle East regimes – Egypt in the first place, but really all of those in the U.S. camp – to posture support of the Palestinians to their hearts' delight without threatening their strategic commitments to U.S. policy. The longer the war continues, the more likely the Arab public will exert pressure on their regimes for more concerted action. In such situations, these unstable regimes could be in deep shit as they say.
• The longer the war, the more complicated things get for the Obama Administration's plans for the region. When Israel bombs, the whole region knows that most of the sophisticated weapons it is raining down on Gaza have 'made in USA' on them – as they have for decades. U.S. made cluster bombs, phosphorus bombs and high powered missiles undermine any suggestion that Washington is somehow 'an honest broker' to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
But now the Israeli cabinet is debating whether to widen the war.
An all-out offensive on Gaza is a horse of a different color for everyone concerned. A long draw- out full-scale Gaza ground offensive not only compromises Israel's position, deepening its pariah status in much of the world, but it also considerably complicates the situation for the new Obama Administration, now facing yet another Middle East mess to deal with on top of domestic budget crisis.
So Netanyahu and Lieberman were banking on a quickie – so were those Arab regimes who feign support for the Palestinians but now 'the landscape' has shifted as a result of the medium range missile attacks. A ground campaign, should Netanyahu decide to take that route, will be inevitably ugly and the modicum of good will that Israel has by spinning the war, will evaporate. At the time of this writing (Saturday, November 17, 2012) the cabinet cannot decide whether to launch a ground offensive. If the Palestinians have sophisticated medium range missiles, they must also have anti-tank rockets which can knock out Israeli tanks. Then things get very, very messy. Israeli casualties will soar and if 2006 Lebanon and the 2008 Gaza offensives are any indications, Israeli war crimes against the Palestinians, once again, are almost inevitable.
The Israeli cabinet has met 3-4 times over the past 24 hours. They cannot seem to make up their minds about a ground attack. Palestinian mastery of medium range missiles – even a few of them – that can hit Tel Aviv and Jerusalem have changed the equation of the offensive. It was supposed to be the massive bombing campaign it has been up until now, and then some kind of end to it. Netanyahu wanted to finish the job before world public opinion could get mobilized – the demonstrations are starting everywhere.
The Israeli cabinet doesn't seem to know how to proceed. Stop the air war or expand the war with a full scale ground assault. We'll see and rather soon. The usually conservative Jerusalem Post seems to be arguing against a ground incursion. As for me, I'm taking the sign I've had for the past 45 years out of the garage, dusting it off and heading, with my entire family downtown to join Friends of Sabeel, Jewish Voice for Peace and Occupy Denver. The old sign reads simply 'End The Occupation'. I'd like to thrown it away but unfortunately, it still seems to strike a chord.

Eagles to hire Bowles; Castillo remains DC
The Eagles are set to hire former Miami interim head coach Todd Bowles to be their defensive backs coach and Juan Castillo will remain defensive coordinator, an NFL source told The Inquirer on Monday.
The team will meet with Bowles, who remained under contract with the Dolphins until only recently, today and it is expected that he will accept the job. He will be in charge of the entire secondary so safeties coach Mike Zordich will be under Bowles.
The announcement will come later today and Eagles coach Andy Reid will meet with the media on Tuesday.
The Eagles had a vacancy after Johnnie Lynn was fired earlier this month.
The decision to keep Castillo as defensive coordinator ends weeks of uncertainty over his future. Reid obviously decided that the final four games of the season in which the defense showed improvement was enough to keep Castillo in charge of the unit.
There have been reports, since confirmed to The Inquirer, that the Eagles had shown interest in bringing former assistant Steve Spagnuolo back to run the defense. But Spagnuolo chose to take the defensive coordinator job with New Orleans.
Castillo, in Mobile, Ala. last week to scout the Senior Bowl, declined to comment on his status.
"You got to go through Andy," Castillo said, deferring Reid. "I'm just working."
The 48-year-old Bowles has vast experience as a defensive backs coach in the NFL. He had been Miami's secondary coach since 2005. He was also assistant head coach from 2008-11. Before Miami he worked in Dallas, Cleveland and in New York with the Jets. He has never been a defensive coordinator in the NFL, but held that role at Grambling State in the late 1990s.
Bowles had a hand in developing Miami safety Yeremiah Bell, who represented the AFC in the 2010 Pro Bowl. In his three years in Dallas, three Cowboys defensive backs were chosen to a combined five Pro Bowls, including three by safety Roy Williams. In 2007, three-fourths of Dallas' backfield cornerback -- cornerback Terence Newman, safety Ken Hamlin and Williams -- was selected to the NFC All-Star squad.
Bowles is a Temple graduate. He played eight seasons in the NFL with the Redskins and 49ers from 1986-93.
Bowles' days in Miami were up when the Dolphins hired Joe Philbin to be their next coach and it was decided that he would not be retained. Bowles had interviewed for that opening along with the Oakland Raiders head coaching job.
The Raiders, who had also interviewed Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, hired Denver defensive coordinator Dennis Allen instead.

oona's hoodieFriday, December 18, 2009
Libby's new hoodie is finally finished. I don't know exactly why it took so long because on size 8 needles it should have been a breeze. However, that seed stitch hood put me on the slow track. (Probably a reason I haven't worked on that seed stitch throw.)
The pattern calls for 2 strands of Nordique held together throughout. You know how most times when you are holding two strands together at some point there is always tangling going on? Not with Nordique. This yarn unwinds beautifully. I wish I would have taken a picture and shown you. Because the balls were seriously beautiful when they unwound. I kept holding it up showing people.... look how pretty!
Pattern: Oona's Hoodie
I made the smallest size for Libby who is twelve and wears a size 12. This pattern is written for size up to a 56" chest circumference. So, not just for young girls. I love that.

A little girl no more. And now she has a fabulous new sweater, knit to her specifications. You can feel the warmth of that gorgeous hoodie, and the love for your child included in every stitch.ReplyDelete
Here's wishing you and your family the happiest of holidays and a most prosperous New Year!
Gorgeous! Am in total awe!ReplyDelete
Beautiful sweater! Love the yarn! I must say, I've been reading your blog for most of this year and, I don't know if it's the Christmas tree entry, but I have finally gotten the nerve up to post a comment to say how delightful, entertaining and informative I find your blog. Glad to hear all is well with your camera - I don't know what I'd do without mine. Happy Holidays to you and your incredible family. And thank you for such a great blog :D ~ tishaReplyDelete

What a great sweater, just beautiful! And let me add my name to the list of "Boot Admire-ers". They are great! Where did you find them?ReplyDelete
Gorgeous sweater! It fits Libby beautifully - but will still look great on her in several years due to the length you added. And why is it that ribbing always seems faster than seed stitch?ReplyDelete
it's beautiful!ReplyDelete
I was just thinking that that is a lot of sizes in which the pattern is available. Something for everyone.
gorgeous hoodie! Would you mind to please tell me where you got her boots. They are exactly what I've been looking for.ReplyDelete
she reminds me so much of you.ReplyDelete
Very cool. I love sweaters with a generous range of sizes. Too many think that women (or men) don't get any bigger around than 44".ReplyDelete
little libby is really growing up before our eyes! it makes me feel oldish! the sweater is so so pretty leslie...i LOVE the color.ReplyDelete
That is beautiful! The hood looks nice but I think I would go crazy doing a seed stitch. It looks nice, it just takes to stinking long to do!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love this sweater. I am very new to knitting and aspire to knit a piece like this one day!ReplyDelete
Looks just wonderful - I love the seed stitch look, but it does take an awful long time. Really came out well. Your daughter is built like my daughter.ReplyDelete
It's gorgeous!!!ReplyDelete
SUPER CUTE! Love it!ReplyDelete
Love, Love, Love it! And it's making me REALLY want to knit one for myself! Where can I get that pattern?ReplyDelete
it's so gorgeous! you amaze me.ReplyDelete
