“Faire blanchir le soja 30 secondes dans de l’eau bouillante. Le rincer à l’eau froide dans une passoire. Râper une carotte. Mélanger dans un saladier le soja, la carotte avec des miettes de crabe. Préparer la sauce : 1 cuillerée à soupe de sauce de poisson (nuoc man), 1 cuillerées à soupe de citron, 2 cuillerée à soupe d’eau, 1 pincée de sucre et 1/2 gousse d’ail écrasée. Verser la quantité souhaitée sur la salade.” [x]

Résumé par Jean-Dominique Merchet d’un article de Paris-Match dont j’extrais cette phrase toute militaire:

“On ne peut pas gagner une guerre avec les mains accrochées aux couilles”

John Papola, maker of the Hayek-Keynes rap:

“…important it is to assume that your audience is smart. Never talk down to them. Don’t take cheap shots. Always be fair. Never think of yourself as rallying a tribe but rather think of recruiting others into the smart set. (…)”

RV storage place:

“The garage is locked by key code and has lights, 30 Amp hook up, bathroom, dump and 24×7 access.”

“If the blower works and is quiet, you could send me
$60.00.  If it’s noisy but still works, it’s worth
$40.00.  If it doesn’t work at all, it’s free of
charge.” [x]

le Dauphine Libéré : Une maison de bois totalement détruite

La maison se trouve sur la commune de Serpaize, sur le terrain de la ferme des Bacholles.
Le feu, qui n’a pas fait de blessés, se serait déclaré de manière accidentelle, alors que les propriétaires de la bâtisse effectuaient des travaux d’aménagements. L’usage d’une meuleuse pourrait (…) être à l’origine du sinistre, via la projection d’une étincelle.(…) Les murs de cette maison “bio”, à l’isolation faite de paille, n’étaient pas encore enduits et l’incendie s’est ainsi très vite propagé à l’ensemble de la bâtisse, principalement construite en bois [qui a] été totalement détruite, en moins d’une heure

[update]Je ne connaissais jusqu’ici d’incendie de maison en paille que celui qui avait détruit en 2007 la maison construite à Lausanne par le collectif “Straw dl’a balle” (qui a aussi construit l’igloo de paille)

The Long War Journal is dedicated to providing original and accurate reporting and analysis of the Long War (also known as the Global War on Terror).
The Long War Journal is published by Public Multimedia Inc., a nonprofit media company.

George Packer, the New Yorker journalist who introduced me to David Kilcullen in 2006, wrote the 12 May on General David McKiernan’s sacking (which occured the day before), outlining the politics behind the change of commander in Afghanistan.
He also praises David Kilcullen’s book. There is a lot of promotion going on there, as he interviewed David Kilcullen the day before, (video there).
Mind you, Packer makes the same joke on ‘ze funny accent’ as the guy who interviewed David Kilcullen for Google.
Additionally, Packer praised another soldier-intellectual (his words), McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP (MLA) attorney Phillip Carter, often quoted at SWJ who stopped blogging in April, when he was apointed to the position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Detainee Affairs.

While with MLA, Carter has written extensively on legal and military issues for a variety of publications including Slate, The New York Times, and The Washington Post. He has also been a leading advocate for veterans, and helped found the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, playing a central role in the organization’s efforts to fully fund veterans healthcare, increase funding for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Traumatic Brain Injuries, and pass a new GI Bill. During the 2008 election, Carter served as a policy adviser to the Obama campaign, and later as the Obama-Biden campaign’s national veterans director.
Prior to joining MLA, Carter served as an officer in the United States Army, including nine years of active and reserve service with military police and civil affairs units. In 2005-06, he took a leave of absence from MLA to deploy to Iraq with the Army’s 101st Airborne Division, where he served as an adviser to the Iraqi police [x]

‘Caveats’ neuter NATO allies – Washington Times

Pity the new U.S. commander on the ground in Afghanistan, Gen. Stanley McChrystal. He has to live with paralyzing caveats from timid allies.

I was trying to  describe Mikey Sklar’s (Holy Scrap Hot Springs) way of doing things for a long time. He came up with the term Digital Homesteading for a recent lecture at viva verde. Like it. Will it catch ?
