Then I walked back into the house, wrote the previous post, and answered the door to a neighbor who came by to complain about all the trouble my son and his friends have been causing in the neighborhood. I heard about plum battles, broken sprinkler heads, someone throwing a watermelon at a truck and various other hoodlum-like goings-on. Protestations of innocence and questionable stories on all sides. He also informed me that "someone" called the police on them and officers were going to visit the school the next day./p>p>Then today, I came home to an official notice to call more police or receive a $330 citation. Seems my dog was At Large. em>(Henry: "Where's Large?")/em> It appears that another one of those innocent children left the gate open and Bindi went dancing around on the street after I went to work. Some helpful neighbor called the police rather than looking at her tags and putting her back inside. The pleasant officer said to me: "You know how it is, she looks like a pitbull and people think they're all killers." She seemed pretty docile to him so he put her back in her pen rather than hauling her in to the pokey. Thank you, Mr. Policemen.

Here's a passage from the letter, sent by the  USOC's general counsel and posted by Ravelry founder Casey Forbes to his  blog:/p>blockquote>p>The athletes of Team USA have usually spent the better part of their  entire lives training for the opportunity to compete at the Olympic  Games and represent their country in a sport that means everything to  them.  For many, the Olympics represent the pinnacle of their sporting  career.  Over more than a century, the Olympic Games have brought  athletes around the world together to compete at the Olympic Games and  represent their country in a sport that means everything to them./p>p>.../p>p>We believe using the name "Ravelympics" for a competition that  involves an afghan marathon, scarf hockey and sweater triathlon, among  others, tends to denigrate the true nature of the Olympic Games.  In a  sense, it is disrespectful to our country's finest athletes and fails to  recognize or appreciate their hard work./p>/blockquote>p>Yeah, Ravelry, do you want to make olympic athletes cry with your dumb knitting olympics? If you wanted to dignify athletes, em>your/em> Olympics should also accept millions of dollars in corporate sponsorship from Dow Chemicals. But the USOC has a case: In 1982, the "Gay Olympics" were sued and the United States Supreme Court ruled that the USOC had exclusive rights to the word Olympics, and anything vaguely related to the word "Olympics"./p>p>.../p>p>The USOC is demanding Ravelry change the name to the "Ravelry Games,"  but we say: Why not make knitting an Olympic sport instead? Pair up  knitting a baby sweater with target shooting and make it the summer  version of the biathlon. Those would be some Nike ads./p>p>Here's the full cease and desist, which also includes a few Olympics-themed patterns submitted by users:/p>blockquote>p>Dear Mr. Forbes,/p>p>In March 14, 2011, my colleague, Carol Gross, corresponded with your  attorney, Craig Selmach sic, in regard to a pin listed as the "2010  Ravelympic Badge of Glory." At that time, she explained that the use of  RAVELYMPIC infringed upon the USOC's intellectual property rights, and  you kindly removed the pin from the website. I was hoping to close our  file on this matter, but upon further review of your website, I found  more infringing content./p>p>By way of review, the USOC is a non-profit corporation chartered by  Congress to coordinate, promote and govern all international amateur  athletic activities in the United States. The USOC therefore is  responsible for training, entering and underwriting U.S. Teams in the  Olympic Games. Unlike the National Olympic Committees of many other  countries, the USOC does not rely on federal funding to support all of  its efforts. Therefore, in order to fulfill our responsibilities without  the need for federal funding, Congress granted the USOC the exclusive  right to use and control the commercial use of the word OLYMPIC a and  any simulation or combination thereof in the United States, as well as  the OLYMPIC SYMBOL. See the Olympic and Amateur Sports Act, 36 U.S.C.  §220501 et seq. (the "Act"). (A copy of the relevant portion of the Act  is enclosed for your convenience.) The Act prohibits the unauthorized  use of the Olympic Symbol or the mark OLYMPIC and derivations thereof  for any commercial purpose or for any competition, such as the one  organized through your website. See 36 U.S.C. §220506(c). The USOC  primarily relies on legitimate sponsorship fees and licensing revenues  to support U.S. Olympic athletes and finance this country's  participation in the Olympic Games. Other companies, like Nike and Ralph  Lauren, have paid substantial sums for the right to use Olympic-related  marks, and through their sponsorships support the U.S. Olympic Team.  Therefore, it is important that we restrict the use of Olympic marks and  protect the rights of companies who financially support Team USA./p>p>In addition to the protections of the Act discussed above, the USOC  also owns numerous trademark registration that include the mark OLYMPIC.  These marks therefore are protected under the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C.  §1051 et seq. Thus, Ravelry.com's unauthorized use of the mark OLYMPIC  or derivations thereof, such as RAVELYMPICS, may constitute trademark  infringement, unfair competition and dilution of our famous trademarks./p>p>The USOC would like to settle this matter on an amicable basis. However, we must request the following actions be taken./p>p>1. Changing the name of the event, the "Ravelympics."; The athletes  of Team USA have usually spent the better part of their entire lives  training for the opportunity to compete at the Olympic Games and  represent their country in a sport that means everything to them. For  many, the Olympics represent the pinnacle of their sporting career. Over  more than a century, the Olympic Games have brought athletes around the  world together to compete in an event that has come to mean much more  than just a competition between the world's best athletes. The Olympic  Games represent ideals that go beyond sport to encompass culture and  education, tolerance and respect, world peace and harmony./p>p>The USOC is responsible for preserving the Olympic Movement and its  ideals within the United States. Part of that responsibility is to  ensure that Olympic trademarks, imagery and terminology are protected  and given the appropriate respect. We believe using the name  "Ravelympics" for a competition that involves an afghan marathon, scarf  hockey and sweater triathlon, among others, tends to denigrate the true  nature of the Olympic Games. In a sense, it is disrespectful to our  country's finest athletes and fails to recognize or appreciate their  hard work./p>p>It looks as if this is the third time that the Ravelympics have been  organized, each coinciding with an Olympic year (2008, 2010, and 2012).  The name Ravelympics is clearly derived from the terms "Ravelry" (the  name of your website) and OLYMPICS, making RAVELYMPICS a simulation of  the mark OLYMPIC tending to falsely suggest a connection to the Olympic  Movement. Thus, the use of RAVELYMPICS is prohibited by the Act. Knowing  this, we are sure that you can appreciate the need for you to re-name  the event, to something like the Ravelry Games./p>p>1. Removal of Olympic Symbols in patterns, projects, etc. As stated  before, the USOC receives no funding from the government to support this  country's Olympic athletes. The USOC relies upon official licensing and  sponsorship fees to raise the funds necessary to fulfill its mission.  Therefore, the USOC reserves use of Olympic terminology and trademarks  to our official sponsors, suppliers and licensees. The patterns and  projects featuring the Olympic Symbol on Ravelry.com's website are not  licensed and therefore unauthorized. The USOC respectfully asks that all  such patterns and projects be removed from your site./p>p>For your convenience, we have listed some of the patterns featuring  Olympic trademarks. However, this list should be viewed as illustrative  rather than exhaustive. The USOC requests that all patterns involving  Olympic trademarks be removed from the website. We further request that  you rename various patterns that may not feature Olympic trademarks in  the design but improperly use Olympic in the pattern name./p>p>http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/olympics-rings-af...\/p>p>http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/vancouver-2010-ol.../p>p>http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/2010-olympics-inu.../p>p>http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/olympic-swimmer-d.../p>p>http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/2008-olympic-ring.../p>p>http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/olympic-rings-nec.../p>p>http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bode-miller-hat-2.../p>p>http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/usa-olympic-hat/p>p>http://www.ravelry.com/projects/belgianwaffleknit/usa-oly.../p>p>Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

I blame New England, and #1 sister./p>p>New Englanders like cream. In New England (where I lived during my formative coffee-drinking years), when you order a "regulah"  coffee, it comes with a generous glug of half and half. If you don't  believe me, go to a Dunkin' Donuts. My very New England aunt used to use  light cream in her cereal, and felt she was sacrificing when she cut  back to half and half. And Sister #1, as my readers know, is a a hrefshes_just_saying\2009\08\zucchini-risotto-a-la-susan.html target_self>strong  advocate of cream/a>. She only uses em>non/em>-ultra pasteurized half and half,  and like many other things, I acquired the same taste. There really is a  difference./p>p>So Saturday night Henry apparently ran out of milk for his cereal fix  and made do with the last of my cream (diluted with water). I woke up  Sunday morning to no cream or milk. He soon learned the error of his  decision, and I doubt it will happen again. So after Henry made an  emergency run to the corner store and I was fortified with coffee, I did  my usual Sunday Safeway shopping./p>p>I used to buy the usual small pint size container for my coffee.  Without realizing it consciously, I had moved up to the quart size some  time ago. They were out of quarts this Sunday, so I reached right for  the HALF GALLON. Now it sits in my fridge and frankly I feel no shame.  Just the comforting knowledge that it's there for my coffee tomorrow  morning./p>p styletext-align: center;>a classasset-img-link
