Who Do I Call?

We are blessed that we live a short drive from the world's experts on Marfan Syndrome. I can email our genetic team anytime I have a question and I have a response pretty quickly.  I can even Facebook message a genetic counselor for answers.  We are so blessed in that.

Bill and I have been married for 12 years - he has known about his Marfan Syndrome diagnosis since he was a young child.  Grace was diagnosed 8 years ago. We have been at this "managing Marfan" thing for awhile now....we still learn new things about it every day but in general, we feel pretty confident most days.

Until now.

Right now, we are experiencing another impact of having a rare disease.  Grace is having some vision issues. I can't simply walk into any eye clinic and get the right exams for her.  I can't assume that because they have degrees in optometry or opthamology, that they know how to treat a Marfan patient. We have an amazing optometrist who can make Grace and Bill's prescription work for them. We have a retina surgeon who we trust to save Bill's sight when his retina detaches - and this same doctor's group will watch Grace's retina too so we can catch issues early.  The list of eye doctors who specialize in genetics and lenses and connective tissue disorders and pediatrics is incredibly small.

This week, I stared at the search screen not knowing what to search for or what I even need to find in a doctor.  For the first time since I learned about Marfan Syndrome, I don't know who to call to help my Marfan love, my first baby.   For the first time, I didn't have the answer to "so who is my appointment with next?".

This is where the network comes in.  Posting in Facebook groups asking for referrals.  Emailing friends of friends of friends who also have Marfan Syndrome and live in the same state hoping they might have a recommendation for you.  Spending an hour on the phone with a world famous medical facility trying to make an appointment with someone who comes highly recommended only to find out the doctor left the practice, and no, no one has really stepped into that specialty yet.

The helpless feeling as you tell your child that you are working hard to find the right doctor.  That she is doing great working around the challenge and that it will be okay but first Mom and Dad need some time to figure it out.  It sucks.

February 29 is Rare Disease Day. Take a few moments to learn about a rare disease - reach out to a friend who deals with one and ask about it.  Find a way to support those affected by syndromes/diseases/illnesses that are difficult to diagnose, difficult to predict or difficult to understand. It's not hard to support those of us who deal with these things - a friendly text or email or Facebook message letting us know you are thinking of us and are cheering us on, ask a question to learn about what we deal with, spread awareness to your network to get other people learning and talking.

Learn about Marfan Syndrome at www.marfan.org.  Or ask me.  I am always happy to spread awareness about Marfan, talk about its impact on our daily life, and to tell people how to find out if you or a loved on has Marfan Syndrome or related syndrome. Know the signs - it saves lives!

Tours to Mexico and Mexican food

What do we know about Mexican cuisine? Our idea of the culinary customs of the country is limited to information that the food there is very sharp and always accompanied by tequila. In general, this is true, but there are some peculiarities. Mexico — a unique country with a rich culture and a more than thousand years of history and spiritual heritage. It is the cradle of ancient civilizations powerful tribes of the Aztecs and Mayans. Original nature, warm sunshine and lush tropical vegetation, attracts travelers like a magnet.

Name dropper

Since some of you have already discovered that I am a namedropper and since the Olympics are happpening at this time, I have to tell you about a HUGE NAME.

In 1936 the Olympics were happpening in Germany. Hitler was very insulting regarding USA's black athletes. Jesse Owens was America's hero and he succeeded beyond all hopes. We in Sweden were glued to our radios. We had some Scandinavian athletes we were rooting for, but most of all we were cheering for Jesse Owens. After the Olympics, Jesse Owens and a discus thrower named Carpenter or Carpentier came to Sweden and our School and another school for girls were assigned the hostessing duties for the two of them. We arranged a 'tea dansant' and Mr. Owens was kind enough to dance with each of the hostesses. I don't remember any details -- I was in ecstasy!

While looking through a stack of old papers, I came across my favorite poem. I like it because I feel it was written about me!

THREE TAME DUCKS (author unknown)

There are three tame ducks in our backyard,
dabbling in mud and trying hard
to get their share and maybe more
of the overflowing barnyard store,
satisfied with the task they are at
of eating and sleeping and getting fat.
But whenever the free wild ducks go by
in a long line streaming down the sky
they cock a quizzical, puzzled eye
and flap their wings and try to fly.

I think my soul is a tame old duck
dabbling around in barnyard muck,
fat and lazy with useless wings.
But sometimes when the northwind sings
and the wild ones hurtle overhead,
it remembers something lost and dead
and cocks a wary bewildered eye
and makes a febble attempt to fly.
It's fairly content with the state it's in
but it isn't the duck it might have been.

What an interesting connection! The Olympics are on TV and I find this long lost poem. Hmmmmmmm.

Oh I LOVE this! Keep writing. I've got you bookmarked next to Shreve. Have read her entire blog including Vagabond Vespa.

Marlene said...

oh svento.. this poem may have been written of me also!!!...I think that alot..I may not be the duck I could have been...I am happy with my life.. but all the possiblities that could have been!!
Marlene from Cambria

Evelyn said...

I can relate to that poem as well *smiles*

And, I'm enjoying your name dropping

hello haha narf said...

my dear sweet svensto,

at 90, you can do anything you want!
name drop away!!
(just keep writing. it is such a breath of fresh air to so many of us.)

BumbleVee said...

For some reason that little poem brought a tear to my eye... and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up just thinking of how the wild flocks of ducks and the geese look and sound when flying overhead... love it. Thank you...

EvilDucky77 said...

I love your blog. May I have permission to re-post your poem on my blog? I really like it a lot!

Also I wanted to ask, I really love the music from the 1930s and 1940s. . .what sort of music did you like to listen to back then? Did you get to see any famous musicians in concert? Would make a good post! Thanks!

Rosy in MV said...

I love all your stories, you make us feel like we are there with you. I couldn't leave my computer until I had read every one of your postings! I'm afraid I will expire from curiosity while waiting for the next story. Keep including us in your life dear Svensto.

Criss said...

From reading your posts, I have a hard time seeing you as one of the tame ducks - sounds to me like you flapped your wings until they worked, by golly, and you caught up to those wild ducks, passed them, and left them in the dust!

Thanks for sharing your stories with us. :)

Haphazardkat said...

I think perhaps our time in life is over when we stop cocking our heads and feebly attempt to fly.

J said...

Thank you so much for sharing your life with your readers. I love reading them. :)

Pat from Laguna said...

You have always told the most interesting stories, and I sure miss being close enough to hear them in person. Keep them coming as they are so great.
Pat from Laguna

Martha Alderson said...

You're crazy!! You have never been fat and lazy and you have definitely never been tamed!!f You have always found ways to soar with the free wild ducks.

Now, thanks to Shreve, you're soaring again.....

marrus said...

I poked around the web & believe that "Kenneth Kaufman" is the author of your poem.

Keep writing, and thanks!

Antoine Dodson Cupcakes

I am sure by now you all have heard about Antoine Dodson, the overnight sensation thanks to a crazy interview, a few kids with no jobs and some music...if you have not, you MUST click HERE!

Well, I have a good friend who is a Statistics professor {with a PhD. behind his name} and also has a, well for lack of a better word, ghetto-ness about him! ; )

His birthday was today and I thought it would be quite hilarious to mix both statistics with a silly little rap...

And, my first rap cupcakes were born! {Antoine Dodson inspired - Rapping expertise from the hubby!}

The rap goes a little something like this:
he's climbin' in your window  snatchin' your number's up  so hide your pens  hide your calculator  and hide your spreadsheet  cuz Nick's statistic-in'  up in hur!

These are my moist chocolate cupcakes filled with creamy chocolate fudge and topped with vanilla buttercream. All details are done in my homemade marshmallow fondant and I used edible markers for the writing.

This was such a fun project, I literally laughed through the entire process {yes, all by myself!}  ; )

Exciting *NEW* Cupcake

One of my most popular cupcake flavors is Red Velvet. The mixture of buttermilk, cocoa and cream cheese frosting is beyond perfection to so many people!

Red Velvet has one problem amongst recent clients, though...

...it's RED!

There are growing numbers when it comes to baking {and eating} as natural as possible, so adding THAT MUCH food coloring to a product is starting to turn a few off. Not to mention, the color red just doesn't fit in to all weddings!

Well, my dears - I have a solution!

These luscious confections are a super light buttermilk cake {with or without} fresh raspberries baked in and topped with a smooth almond cream cheese frosting & a mini amaretto cookie.

With this cupcake, you still get an outrageously moist buttermilk cake with everyone's favorite southern cream cheese frosting - only without all the extra dye. White Velvet is the perfect alternative and addition to any cupcake tower!

Bowling 5th Birthday

Today, a handsome little guy turned the big 5!
He, as well as friends and family, celebrated with a few games of bowling!

This is what I created for Mr. 5!

His favorite color is yellow, so that along with blowing balls and pins were my inspiration!

This is a Mexican Hot Chocolate cake with Milk Chocolate Ganache filling and Vanilla buttercream. Marshmallow fondant balls and stars decorated the tiers. The bowling ball topper and pins were sugar cookies and marshmallow fondant.

As apart of the adorable favors boxes were my bowling ball cake pops. They were also Mexican
Hot Chocolate dipped in yellow White Chocolate. I used large black candy sprinkles to make the "finger holes."

I loved how this turned out!! It was the first time I had ever done "floating" decorations, so I was super excited and proud of how it all came together!

It's a Princess Party!

A very sweet, super cute little princess turned 5 today!
And, of course celebrated in style!

I was lucky enough to be apart it - providing cake, cupcakes and cookie pops.

The Topper Cake

A fresh banana cake filled with vanilla cream cheese and iced in powder pink buttercream. A
marshmallow fondant crown adorns the outside of it. The topper is Miss Princess' vintage tea
cup with a fresh banana cupcake sitting inside.

Cupcakes In Vintage Tea Cups

The birthday girl was not the only one who had her own tea cup...in fact, each guest received one with their very own cupcake inside. {The vintage tea cups were part of the favors - too cute!}

Princess Wands

These little confections are sugar cookie pops with marshmallow fondant decoration and pearl
dust for shimmer. {Also apart of the favors!}

I had a blast putting these princess treats together! A perfect way to start the weekend, for sure!

February's Book Club Meeting

I purely enjoy wrapping up in a warm blanket and diving into a good book. Unfortunately, I haven't had much time between PB&J's, play dates and bath times to do any of that lately...so, I
thought maybe with a little motivation I could get back into the practice of making time for
something I like so much.

And, Sweet Reads was born!

Yup, I started a book club! :) But, we're no ordinary book club...you see, I am not what you would call an "intellectual." hehe - I get into contemporary {fun} reads. And, by no means will it be anything like Oprah's! In fact, if it's on her list, it's not a book for us. ; )

{I can hear the gasps!}

Really, though, it's about us girls getting together once a month and enjoying each other's
company...with a little healthy discussion about each book's topics here and there - and maybe a cupcake, too. It's all just for fun!

Well, tonight was the first meeting and I'd have to say it went very well! As members arrived,
they were greeted with the Suggestion Box. This is our anonymous recommendation/voting system. {Just in case a not-so-interesting book is suggested and then voted in, no one will know who did what!} Members simply fill a little piece of pretty paper out with the book they wish to read and it's author. The vote takes place a little later on in the night.

Then, they made their way in to the yummy dessert/coffee table! I came up a way to make the BIG REVEAL of each month's book super fun! I will decorate whichever goodies adorn the table with hints to the book's title. The first person to guess it correctly wins a small $5 gift!

They are quite possibly the ugliest confection I have ever created!
{The white things are suppose to be wings.}
I struggled with posting them on here...
Whatever you do, do not tell Miss Bakerella!
; )

Sooooo, they are suppose to be Bees...yeah, I know! Looks nothing like the tiny creatures!
BUT, they tasted good! So, I guess that's all that matters, right!?

I also made Chocolate Mint cookies with words like, "Shhh" "Hush" & "Cross My Heart"

Can you guess this month's title?

The Secret Life Of Bees

The winner tonight was Christy! Yay!!

The very last thing we did was vote for our next read. The members voted on Bitter Is The New Black by Jen Lancaster and The Commoner by John Burnham.
We had a great first meeting! I'm already looking forward to March and finding out which book was voted next!

VDay Gift Idea For New Couple

Valentine's Day

Are you ready, yet?

My sister came into town for the night so I could help her put together a fun {and not too serious} gift for her valentine this year.

They have been friends for a few weeks now and while they were having dinner the
other night, he asked her to be his valentine.
Everyone with me now: Awww!

Since they are not officially dating {and by that I mean it's not FACEBOOK OFFICIAL}, she didn't want to go over board with a mushy-esque gift. She's more of a bud and burger kind of gal, anyway! I ALWAYS say go with food if you're unsure of the perfect gift!

And that's exactly what we did...

His favorite food is tacos, so we definitely needed to include that in his gift - there's a box of taco shells behind the jerky - and whats more manly than beef jerky!? The Altoids and gum are for kisses, of course!

Supposedly, her valentine sweats a lot {?not stinky sweat, she assures me...?} so she wanted to buy him deorderant sorta as a gag gift...see what we wrote? Too funny! Thank goodness he's a good sport!

These tags are all scrapbook paper I had on hand that I simply hot glued conversation hearts to and wrote letters on with a sharpie. We also decided to tie each gift with twine...that's more manly than a gift bag, right!? ;)

She was so excited when we were finished...she wants to give them to him early!

Here's to a fabulous Valentine's Day!

DIY Artwork

I am not an artist.
In fact, fairly far from one!
But, I saw this on The Nester and thought,
"Heck, I can do that!"

Plus, I needed something for my mantel...something with texture...something that would pop without the use of color...but, mostly something cheap! So, with a glue gun in one hand and spray paint in the other, I created a little artwork. It's not beautiful, by any means, but it's super cool!

The hardest part was waiting for the paint to dry!
I took a small canvas I had on hand and painted it with Elmer's glue. While it was drying, I took a fork and scraped from top to bottom to mess up the smoothness of {what would soon be} the background. When that completely dried, I made the large lines with a little hot glue, not really worrying about making them perfect. Then, I sprayed it ivory!

I think it's adorable and fun...just love how different it is! Not to mention, this project cost ZERO moolah because I already had everything in my craft closet! Whoo Hoo!

How awesome would this be done on a huge canvas for an empty wall!?!

Parties I Linked To:

I am on this simple kick.
Vanilla is my new favorite!
Pure ingredients with subtle flavor.

Shortbread is one of those cookies that just never gets old...and has an array of variations.

Today I made traditional Shortbread as well as a kicked up version with Earl Gray Tea.

Iced and sweet or hot with cream...but I am in no way as much of a tea enthusiast as my sister-in-law. She has been on this super strict cleanse for the past 21 days. The poor thing has been eating rice cakes (as in the plain, unsweetened kind) with almond butter and sliced bananas on
top for dessert. Wow, right!

Well, I wanted to make her a treat so she could indulge a little on her final day of the diet.

Here is my recipe: Earl Gray Shortbread

1 cup all purpose flour
1 tbsp earl gray tea leaves
1/2 cup powder sugar
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

In a food processor, blend flour and tea. {I removed tea leaves from bags, but loose tea works just as well!} Add sugar, salt and vanilla - blend. Add butter and mix until the dough just comes together. Roll into a log and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Cut into 1/3 inch discs and bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until edges start to brown. Makes a baker's dozen. {13 cookies}

These are so good - super sweet and buttery with a slight earl gray favor that doesn't over power. Not to mention, they're gorgeous with little tea specks running throughout the cookie!

Variation Ideas:
  • Green Tea with Orange Zest
  • Replace Tea altogether with Nuts: Crushed Almonds, Pecans or Pine Nuts
  • Omit Tea and sprinkle tops of cookies with Granulated Sugar before baking and dip cooled cookies in Melted Dark Chocolate
  • Roll out and cut into heart shapes for your Valentine!
Happy Baking!

Bare root peonies?

Peony RootsGood morning Swenson Gardens bloggers! Becky here and thought I would spend some time with you. If you haven’t been following our Facebook page, here is a taste of what I’ve been posting as of late. We’ve received numerous inquires on how to plant bare root peonies. The first step is to identify which way does the root go into the hole? Yes from time to time gardeners have planted their roots upside down thinking the stems come out of the roots. No, the stems come from the eyes. You will notice in my picture the two different types of bare root peonies that we sell. One being a garden peony (from our website those are noted in our Garden Varieties, Distinctive Peonies and Collector’s Peonies pages) and two, the ever popular Intersectional Peonies. The recent orders pertain to USDA Growing Zones 2 – 5, so this post is for you. The eyes should be 1 1/2″ to 2″ BELOW ground level on all garden peonies! You will not see the eyes/crown/last years stems on the garden peonies as they will be under ground level. Make sure in your excavated hole that the roots are placed on a tamped down base in direct relationship to their ground level position i.e. 1 1/2″ to 2″ below ground level. Intersectional peonies are much easier to plant as the red rubber band is your ground level. Just make sure the ROOTS are at the bottom of your hole and the red rubber band is at ground level. More posts forthcoming on moving peonies, digging peonies and dividing peonies. Please be patient as we have been very busy trying to get our first shipment of peonies out! Happy planting bare root peonies!

First shipment of peonies on there way!

Most of you will be receiving shipment notifications from USPS Priority Mail on your peony orders. Just a few special instructed orders to ship but the majority were delivered this morning to our local post office. THEY, meaning USPS Priority Mail, say 2-3 day delivery, but we have had excellent success with Priority Mail on averaging 2-3 day delivery. Some will receive tomorrow and others in a few days. For those of you with PO Box addresses, look for your notice and pick up (and plant) as soon as possible. Happy planting peonies!

Peony Pickup Days Saturday, September 5th and 12th from 9 am to 5 PM

Ok gardening friends, your peonies are ready to pick up on Saturday, September 5th and 12th from 9 am to 5 PM rain or shine. We will have a canopy set up at the entrance to our processing barn. We can’t wait to see you again! Regarding parking, come all the way north on our driveway past our home and you will be greeted at the information area close to the canopy on where to park. Please do not park anywhere on our driveway or lawn as we will have you park in our sand riding area. If anyone needs special assistance, please let us know at the information area and we will accommodate special parking privileges and any help that you may require. Some of you have been emailing and calling on how soon do you need to plant your new bare root peonies? Our normal response is sooner the better! How soon is soon? We would say within a day or two. Just make sure NOT to leave them in a hot vehicle or any place in direct sunlight. They are packed in sphagnum moss and try to keep in a cool, dark place until you can plant them. It would also be wise to check on them and mist some water on them if they are held in storage before planting. Do not put them in a refrigerator as that is too cold for them now. They need about 6-weeks in the ground in order to develop tiny feeder roots before the ground freezes. So use your best judgement on when to plant them and if not able to in a few days, again, store in a cool, dark place, leave the bag open so condensation does not build up inside the bag and mist lightly if keeping them in storage if longer than a few days. Remember to pick up a bag of our chemical free peony starter fertilizer of which one bag per root is all you need for decades to come. If any questions on how to plant your bare root peonies, experts on hand to help you with that. Now our road before you head north on our driveway is rather bumpy and rocky as they are trying to rebuild it after the mess we had last spring. Finally per our insurance policy I have to share our disclaimer that they require anytime the general public is on our property so bear with me, upon entering our property at 10958 70 th Street SW, Howard Lake, MN 55349, Swenson Gardens, Keith and Becky Swenson, its employees and agents shall not be held liable for any injuries and/or death when visiting our property. You are on our property at your own risk. We ask that you be careful as this is a working farm including equipment, livestock, electric fences and a pond. Please keep any children under direct adult supervision at all times. It is ok to look at the animals but be aware that all our fences are electric. We want all of you to have a safe and enjoyable time will you visit our property! Thank you and thank you for letting us grow these amazing peonies for you! Have a safe trip out here and be sure to check out some apple orchards like Fall Harvest in Delano, Carlsons Orchard in Winsted and stop in at Cattail Corners in Howard Lake for some fall color and natural pet supplies.

Swenson Gardens peony starter fertilizer available during peony pick up days

The peony compost team and our son have all been busy preparing our chemical free peony starter fertilizer that will be for sale when you pick up your orders or when visiting our peony barn sale. We can’t use the word ‘o_r_g_a_n_i_c’ so thus the chemical free phrase is ok. All ingredients are chemical free including the composted cow manure that we let set over one winter, no grain or corn is fed to our cattle and all our pasture and hay has never been sprayed with chemicals. It always concerns me when buying a bag of composted cow manure when you really don’t know where it has come from and what chemicals, antibiotics and feed is included. The reason why we let our compost winter one season is to make sure any weed seeds are killed by the low winter temps and the high summer temps as it is decomposing. The bag he is selling contains enough nutrients for years to come. He sells it for $3.00 a bag and each bag is enough for one root. He would be glad to talk with you about the ingredients he uses except for the ‘secret’ ingredient that have have literally GROWN to love in some of our test fields. Oh by the way, this will also help his college fund. Not sure why this is his favorite time on our peony farm?

A cooler full of peony roots

FullCoolerWhat does a cooler half full of peony roots look like? Becky took a wonderful pic before this cooler was absolutely full. Some of you have asked why do we store the processed roots in a cooler? Well here you go, the thoughts for us anyways, is the fact that we can maintain a constant temperature and humidity level vs storing them elsewhere. The key though is not to store at too cold of a temp whereby they think its time for winter. Thus a constant temp of 55 to 56 degrees affords them less stress especially when it has been in the mid 80’s all this week. Humidity is important as well as you don’t want the humidity too low where by the moisture is removed from the roots or too high which may lend itself to surface mold so we settled on 70% for now. All the tricks of a peony grower to make sure the roots are out of our ground, stored properly and then they can find a new home in your gardens! If you haven’t been liking or following us on Facebook, Becky has a whole series on what our process is at Swenson Gardens. A MAJOR milestone today as the picking and packing crew completed the majority of the orders with only 38 more to go tomorrow. Congratulations team on setting a new one day picking and packing record of 315 orders. They did a great job and when finished the packed roots went into another cooler and the remaining roots went into this cooler. Lots of love expended on our peonies whether in the ground or out! If only the peonies knew how much work it takes grow and sell them!

Peter Pan party hats

I've had several people ask about the little paper hats I made for Abby's party last year.   I thought I would put together a little tutorial to show you how to make your own.  These are so easy and fun, there's no reason to wait for a party to make them for your little ones.

For the hats: I used a letter sized piece of kraft paper and this tutorial.  I discovered the hat didn't stay on very well, so I punched a hole in each side of the hat (near the middle) and tied about 18" of embroidery floss to each side (you could also use twine or ribbon).

You still may have trouble keeping these on the heads of active tots (like most party hats), so don't be surprised if they fall off once the party gets rolling.  I haven't tried it, but I think if the hat was made with a larger piece of paper it might have more staying power.

My favorite part of the hat is the feather.  At the time of the party I was unable to find attractive red ribbons in my town so I decided to make my own. I think using a bunch of different bright colors on the feathers would be really cute!

Do you want to make some too?

For the feathers:

Stack two sheets of tissue paper and cut a feather shape out (this feather is about 7", I wouldn't go bigger than that)

Using a glue stick, make a wide line of glue down the center of one of your feather shapes.

Cut a piece of thin gauge wire about 1/2" longer than your feather and stick it as straight as you can down the center of your glue line.  You can use white wire if you don't want it to show as much.

Stick your other feather shape on top and press into the glue to adhere.  Use your scissors to cut diagonal lines into the sides of the feather.  You can "rough up" the sides a little to achieve a more fringed look (like the one I made on the left) if you'd like.

Use a small piece of double stick tape to adhere the wire hanging out of the feather to the inner brim of the hat, and you're done!

  1. Thanks for the tutorial. I LOVE these! They totally look like a hat Peter Pan would wear =)

"Apocalypse Now?"

                      Sydney M. Williams

Thought of the Day
“Apocalypse Now?”
Jul 30, 2015

“Death to America!” scream Iranians who have just negotiated an agreement that has won them invaluable concessions from Americans, which includes the releasing of over $100 billion in assets that had been frozen. That deal assures that in fifteen years or less – a long time for an ADHD country such as ours, but a short time for a patient Islamist – the Mullahs who govern Iran will be able to get the “bomb.” Keep in mind, these are the people who besides wishing us dead have called for the annihilation of Israel.

At home, debt and future entitlements, which have been kicked down the road for decades, are forecast to impoverish future generations. The Democrat front runner warned against the “gig economy” and the “erosion of work-place protections.” Is her interest protecting consumers, or is it cronyism designed to safeguard existing businesses and regulators? We have been warned that man-caused global warming will cause the planet’s destruction…unless we purchase Tesla’s, Prius’ and solar panels, with the support of tax payers – effectively a regressive tax, with the wealthy benefitting at the expense of the middle class. Technology has made life easier, but it has also given government and others the ability to monitor our daily lives. Our politics are characterized by division, polarization and cronyism. Racism and class warfare negate any attempts at community outreach.

The Federal Reserve has kept interest rates at essentially zero for six and a half years. There will be a price to pay for that decision, but no one knows what it will be. As a planet, we face dangerous problems, and I don’t mean climate change attributable to man, but the risk of a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. We show concern for gays and transgenders, which is a good, but we ignore failing inner-city schools and the decline of two-parent households in lower-income areas? Wealth and income gaps have widened, ironic victims of redistribution policies. Our economy sputters along on three cylinders? One presidential candidate proposes raising capital gains taxes, despite a lack of sufficient savings on the part of retirees and our underinvestment as a nation. It is an argument not designed to address a problem. It is populist, political-speak meant to show concern about “inequality.” Is an Apocalypse our future?

We do face problems, many of them serious, as people have since the beginning of time. But despite the “tsk-tsking” from scolds like me and others, our nation has faced more perilous times. At no point in our history were we as divided as we were in 1861. Four years later 700,000 Americans were dead, many dying for a cause barely understood – just doing what their superiors ordered them to do. To put those deaths in perspective, the population of the United States was roughly one tenth the size it is today. Can anyone imagine seven million of our youths dying violently over the next four years? The Great Depression, which began with the stock market crash in 1929, saw unemployment rise to 25%. It was the War that ended the hard times, not government relief programs. Germany and Japan, as enemies in common, served to unify our nation, but it also meant that 19 million men and women served in uniform, and 416,000 died.

In the post-War years, another common enemy – Communism (and a welcome relief from a decade and a half of Depression and War) – kept the nation unified in the 1950s. “We need someone to hate,” wrote John Steinbeck in Travels with Charley. The Eisenhower years spelled a welcome respite. The ‘60s changed things. Vietnam, Watergate and marches for Civil Rights destroyed any sense of common purpose. Stagflation in the ‘70s added to the despair and the disjointedness that characterized that era.

But we survived those difficult years. Part of the reason was leadership. Great Presidents have an indelible optimism. They use humor and charm. Their confidence is innate and it is catching. It comes from the soul and the heart, not the mind. Only two Presidents in my lifetime have had it – Franklin Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. (JFK may have had it, but he died too early.) FDR inherited a Depression begun three years earlier. He kept hope alive and then led the Country to victory in World War II. Reagan followed the dislocations of the 1960s and the economic malaise of the 1970s. He left the Country stronger, spiritually and financially. He restored dignity to the people. No matter how one felt about the politics of either man, no one can deny the positive nature of their character.

The angst of the current period does reflect the existential threats we face. But more importantly, it echoes a consequence of government impinging on people’s ability to succeed and to fail. Regulations are used to advance political agendas. They are no longer predictable or even commonsensical. The paternalistic nature of the Administration can be seen in the “life of Julia” video and the “pajama boy” ad. Such political sensitivities provide comfort to some, but they damage the dignity that comes with work, personal responsibility and accountability. That dread reflects a public school system that is more concerned with adults (union members) than with students. Safety nets are important, but the tendency of bureaucrats, who thrive on expanding government, is to make entitlements ubiquitous. Work, when performed by those who have little or no education, is not given the respect it deserves. As Arthur Brooks wrote in The Conservative Heart: “All honest work is a sanctified pursuit.” What right do elites have to demean the work of those they see as beneath them? Nowhere are the differences between the statists and free marketers so prominent as in the battle in New York over Uber. The De Blasio Administration would manage the number of taxis. Uber would let markets determine both price and availability.

Every era has its challenges. Ours is no different. What bothers me is the lack of concern regarding slipping moral standards. Poverty is accompanied by broken families, yet government dismisses that as a problem. While I am not a regular church-goer, faith deserves more respect than it gets. It helps people. In 2000, Robert Putnam, in a book entitled Bowling Alone, wrote about the “strange disappearance of social capital and civic engagement in America.”

Nevertheless, I suspect we will get through this period. It will take a leader who will speak plainly and honestly about the good this nation has done, without ignoring or white-washing its faults. It will take an optimist who recognizes that government is necessary to secure our safety, adjudicate our laws and build and maintain our infrastructure, but also one that acknowledges the intelligence and inherent wisdom of the people. If such people appear on the scene, any apocalypse can be postponed – perhaps forever.

This is a much shorter version of the story I wanted to tell with this GIF, but it was not a GIF that wanted to cooperate. Maybe I could expand upon it by just posting the GIF and writing the story underneath it? Would anyone be opposed? Would anyone read this dumb ol' thing I wrote if it was longer?

Lots of love and hope for a little feedback.

Trump Card

I made this one when I was trying to get back in the swing of things and kept delaying the sharing of it. Not sure how I feel about it. But I made it, it exists, so why not share.

Saturday, April 15, 2017

Can Ms. Sydney spoil you a little?

I felt the Easter spirit and have 3 new Bunny captions for you ladies! "Tradition," "Insurance," and "Long Game"

Wednesday, April 12, 2017

Awaited Touch

I felt like I was neglecting you ladies, so I squeezed in time for a couple caps. Hopefully I'll actually be free soon.

Wednesday, April 5, 2017

Hello, ladies!

Sorry I've been a bit busy lately, thus the lack of new caps. I'll have more to you as soon as I can! I just wanted to say that I've started to see my captions being shared by users on Tumblr too! And they're getting a decent chunk of attention. Now, I didn't think anyone would reach my captions, much less enjoy them, MUCH LESS want to share them with others, EVEN MORE MUCH LESS, those people wanting to share them too.

I guess what I'm trying to say is thanks to everyone for reading and appreciating my work! Makes me all bubbly!

You won't know that but I will know that I am there.

It is in this instant framed.

Look up at the sky.

We are taken on a journey.

Search for the sky.

You can meet me there.

I am not looking for understanding.

Just be assured that I am at peace.

"I don't ask for your pity, but just for your understanding - not even that - no.  Just for some recognition of me in you, and the enemy time, in us all."

Tennessee Williams Sweet Bird of Youth

Just imagine.

Strange isn't it, how what we write never comes out quite how we could have imagined?

I don't know about you, but that my friend is precisely why I write.

Somehow, somewhere my imagination is extended so that I may imagine some more.

Strangely, I lose myself and I find myself at the same time.

I am never sure where.

I am never sure why.

From submission to recognition.

I shall let you into a secret.

There is a word that sparked this, and that word is: 'recognition'.

It was Maha who got me thinking.

She kindly suggested that I might make a 'submission' of my writing in order that there be some sort of  'recognition'.

I found that proposal both troubling and stimulating.

It made me wonder:

What form of 'recognition' did I ever seek?

The answer, I suppose, is from what this blog is woven.

Mirror, mirror...

There are those who we choose as mirrors.

There are those who are chosen as our mirrors.

There are those who would choose to be our mirrors.

There are those who we see reflected in our mirrors, who perhaps we seek to erase.

There are those...

Recognition for me, is a quest for harmony.

I have tried on so many costumes, played so many roles, that I find myself not so much naked but worn.

If I be worn, I am not for the instant worn out.

If the truth be known, now my friend I am inhabited.

I remember the seduction of theatrical applause.

I don't know about you, but the applause only ever had meaning for me when it came as confirmation; confirmation of a journey, of an emotion, of a struggle shared.

There has to be...there has to be presence.

Recognition is perhaps in communion.

'Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder.'

I shall read that again slowly.

Beauty is indeed in the EYE of the beholder.

Beauty is in that instant of beauty shared.

It is that instant which transforms us, which heightens us, which proclaims us as so much more than ourselves.

There is recognition in our eyes.

We recognise each other now.

There have been so many days when I could never have imagined writing.
There have been so many days when I have tossed frustrating drafts into a bin.
There have been so many days when I railed against the beast which drove me to write.

There is no purpose in this.

There is a breath of freedom here.

Look up at the sky.
Look up at the sky.
Look up at the sky.

Do you recognise it now?

I am weary.

Pray, my friend, share the beauty you see.

Be at peace.

Detail & Scale F2H-1/2 eBook

Bert and Rock's latest eBook is now available and a must-have for the serious modeler looking forward to the forthcoming Kitty Hawk 48th F2H-2/2P kit. Visit the Detail & Scale website at to download it for only $9.99. And it's not just for Kindles and Kindle-compatible devices: Bert also created a Mac version that can be downloaded via iBooks, which is what I do.

What you get in this instance is almost 300 pages of text, photos (many in color and some not previously published), and detailed illustrations covering the five variants of the early Banshees: the F2H-1/F2H-2/F2H-2B/F2H-2N/F2H-2P, and a review of available kits, detailed and illustrated, and aftermarket items that matches the best that I have ever seen. (The Kitty Hawk kit will be added in due course, one of the advantages of an eBook; Part 2 will cover the -3 and -4.)

Fully covered and well illustrated are configuration differences including the various cockpit layouts, paint and markings,  operational use summary, and squadron assignments. Attention to detail is paramount, as in noting (which I did not know) that the tip tanks were interchangeable from left to right, not an obvious conclusion since they hang off the wingtip at an angle rather than extending straight out or being hung directly underneath. Also little known is that the F2H-2 Banshee's wings could not be folded or unfolded with fuel in the tip tanks since the F2H-1 did not have them and the wing-fold structure and actuator were not redesigned to accommodate a tip tank loaded with fuel.

One telling example of the research involved is this book is that it does not make the oft-repeated error of stating that the production F2H-1 was shorter than the F2H-2 but correctly identifies the XF2H-1 as having the shorter fuselage but not the production F2H-1.

 If you are reluctant to make the move to eBooks as I was, you need to reconsider and try one, certainly one as user-friendly as those from Detail & Scale. For a synopsis of what you'll get and the benefits, go to

An Iraqi Politician Warns Against U.S. Troop Withdrawal

BY ELI LAKE - Staff Reporter of the Sun
November 28, 2005
URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/23552

CAIRO, Egypt - As calls for a reduction of troops in Iraq intensify in Washington, one of Iraq's leading liberal politicians yesterday warned President Bush against heeding the advice.

In a telephone interview with The New York Sun, Mithal al-Alusi yesterday said he expected a new wave of terror in his country, adding that Iraq and America's security were now inextricably linked and that it would be a "huge mistake" if American soldiers were brought home in 2006.

The warning, one of the clearest to date from an Iraqi politician against a premature evacuation, comes as the president is expected to give a major address Wednesday on Iraq and the war on terror and after a delegation of Iraqi leaders and groups representing insurgents agreed on a statement calling for an eventual timetable for withdrawal. Over the weekend, the Los Angeles Times quoted anonymous aides to Mr. Bush as saying that he will announce the first drawdown of American soldiers from Iraq in anticipation of the 2006 midterm elections. The chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Senator Warner, a Republican of Virginia, said yesterday that he hoped the president would use the occasion of the speech to give a detailed account of how the war was going, in the style of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

"Iraq is the main symptom of the terrorists, and I think we are going to have a new level of attacks in the area. It would be a huge mistake if Washington has made a decision to take the soldiers back. They cannot do it," Mr. al-Alusi said yesterday. "We are now trying to stop the terrorist attacks against America here."

Mithal Alusi declaring his election bid

Mr. al-Alusi's Iraqi Nation Party narrowly lost a bid to gain a single seat for the National Assembly in last January's elections, but there are indications that his party will do well in the elections scheduled for December 15. On November 19, an Iraqi newspaper, al-Bayyna, which is run by the Shiite Arab Iraqi Hezbollah Party, released a poll in which Mr. al-Alusi came in second to the current prime minister, Ibrahim al-Jaafari, among Iraqis when asked who they would support to be the next prime minister. Of those polled, 21% said they would support Mr. al-Alusi. Yesterday, the party leader said he expected his party would gain between 15 and 25 seats in next month's elections.

Mr. al-Alusi last year lost both his sons, who were assassinated in broad daylight in Baghdad. He has been an outspoken critic of both appeasement of former Baathists, who he blames for murdering his sons, and of the influence of neighboring Iran. In August 2002, before the fall of Baghdad, Mr. al-Alusi led a daring raid on Iraq's embassy in Berlin, briefly capturing the press's attention before being arrested by German authorities. Earlier this year, with fellow democrats from Iran, Syria, and Libya, he formed a group devoted to freeing political prisoners in the Middle East.

In the interview yesterday, Mr. al-Alusi attributed the recent talk of American withdrawal to "the election season in America." On November 15, the Senate voted 79 to 19 for a resolution demanding the White House give regular progress reports on the war, after defeating a Democratic resolution calling for a timetable for withdrawal of troops.

Mr. al-Alusi also dismissed yesterday the recent statement from an Arab League-sponsored conference on Iraqi reconciliation calling for an eventual timetable for withdrawal. He said his party was campaigning on a platform touting Iraq's partnership with America.

"Bush in the Iraqi eye is a great man, to the liberals he is a great man," Mr. al-Alusi said. "We know the huge price America has paid, but America now has a partner in the Middle East. When I campaign, I am talking about the strategic relationship and how this is in Iraq's interests." Mr. al-Alusi was particularly critical of American politicians and writers who claimed the president deceived the public in order to go to war. He said that his party would press the Iraqi government to renew the search for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, which he said he believes Saddam clearly had before the invasion.

"Saddam is a weapon of mass destruction," he said. "Whatever Americans say now, Saddam was a danger to the peace, and we have enough evidence. He was an important part of the terror network. Also, 27 million Iraqis are free now, they can think freely. This are very important for American values and an American strategy. They will find the weapons, I am sure they will."

It was also apparent from the interview yesterday that old rifts between Mr. al-Alusi and Iraq's deputy prime minister, Ahmad Chalabi, keep them apart. Mr. al-Alusi was dismissed in 2004 from the Iraqi National Congress after he gave interviews from a counterterrorism conference in Israel. At the time, Mr. Chalabi was aligned with Iranian-supported parties that do not recognize Israel's right to exist. In an interview in October with "60 Minutes," Mr. Chalabi said he saw no reason why Iraq should not eventually have formal relations with the Jewish State.

But Mr. al-Alusi is critical of Mr. Chalabi's ties to Iran. "I am sad to hear him say that he got the green light from Tehran to be prime minister," he said, referring to a quote from Mr. Chalabi upon leaving Tehran before arriving in Washington this month for a visit with senior Bush administration officials. "This quote is all over the media here. It is a kind of stupid politics that I don't like. Iraq is Iraq." Mr. Chalabi's office yesterday offered no response.

Toward the end of the interview, Mr. al-Alusi said he envisioned Iraq as a long time ally not only of America, but of other liberal states in the region. "The future alliance is America, Israel, Iraq, and Turkey," he said.

Scratching My Head at Conspiracy Theories

— Filed under: Politics & Government, People & Culture, Opinion
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria

Image via Wikipedia

From the news of Bin Laden's death and subsequent burial at sea I was keenly aware that this would give huge rise to yet another conspiracy theory. These types of theories have been bandied about the Web and written up against all major events that have happened for the past 100 years plus, from the moon landing to Hitler setting the Reichstag fire, the deaths of Diana, JFK, Abraham Lincoln, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the motivations behind various wars, aliens, the using of different chemicals on the populace and of course 9/11.

I have read some of these theories and the "Collapse of Building 7" included as one of the main factors to the 911 theory did sound very plausible. I still wonder as to how it collapsed but I just have never been able to whip my head around the "whole" idea of mass government conspiracies.  I cannot see, personally, that governments would go to such lengths for certain alleged gains which rarely are achieved.

And then today I read about a book called Voodoo Histories which a research journalist has written to debunk and show up certain main conspiracy theorists' theories, expert witnesses and their allegations.… Continues …

A pirate Tale - 57

Don Taco watched the approach of the Festering Boil, now about half a mile off, and tossed his cigar over the rail. Calling to his helmsman, he ordered him to tack to starboard.

“Maybe we can slip around her,” he said to Leather Nipples while Los Mariachi played anxiously in the background. “If he tries to close, we’re as well armed as he, and if he boards, I’ll take my chances. Our men aren’t lace-cuffed court soldiers, they’re veterans of a dozen campaigns. And we probably outnumber those pirates significantly.” Los Mariachi added a triumphant flourish.

Taco leaned forward and looked again. “But what’s that they’re doing on the foredeck?”

Moments earlier, Cap’n Slappy had suddenly slapped his forehead. “Of course,” he said, recalling a conversation from that morning.” “Get me Salty Jim!”

Salty Jim, the ship’s carpenter, had been below preparing to repair any damage as quickly as it was inflicted. Now he came up to Slappy on the quarterdeck and listened to the captain’s request.

“Sure, I can build that. How soon?”

Slappy told him. Jim gulped, almost swallowing his trim mustache in the process.

“Well, I’ll get to work.”

It was often remarked that Salty Jim didn’t look like a pirate. He looked for all the world like a befuddled parson from a village church, and the expression on his face gave people meeting him for the first time the impression he was trying to remember where he’d left something important, like his keys or his wife. But everyone conceded that in most matters Salty Jim knew more than any man on the ship – maybe on the ocean.

The carpenter got to work on the foredeck, measuring, weighing, sawing, hammering. He kept scribbling figures, mumbling to himself about “angles of acceleration” and “axis of the revolution.”

The combat opened with a tense tacking duel in which Taco on Broche de Presión tried repeatedly to slip around the Festering Boil to gain the wind, and Droppingham expertly covering each move to retain the advantage. The Boil could keep its foe from gaining the weather gauge, but Broche could turn and run whenever the Boil tried to close the distance.

Taco tried feinting starboard then running for port, but Droppingham easily saw through the maneuver and covered again. “Ya damn sissy!” he snarled, “That’s a 200-ton boat, not a bleedin’ ballet dancer! Ye’ll have to do better than that!”

The afternoon was wearing on before Salty Jim pronounced himself satisfied and returned to the quarterdeck.

“I can’t guarantee it, we can’t test it, of course, but it should work,” he reported. “Ge2t us to 300 yards, and point her straight at the target,” Jim said. “The counterweight has to go over the bow. We’ll be using Cementhands, of course.”

“Mr. Droppingham,” Slappy called out. “Enough of this pussyfooting! Take me to that ship.”

Droppingham turned the wheel, and the Boil surged directly towards the Spanish ship. Taco was surprised by the shift in tactics. Knowing that his opponent probably wouldn’t open fire until he was within 200 yards, he hesitated just a moment to determine Slappy’s intentions. It was a moment that cost him.

As the Boil raced towards Broche, Jim stood at the bow with Cementhands, the giant sailor who was strapped into a curious rigging attached to the contraption. Both were muttering. Jim was calculating furiously, estimating distances, while Cementhands uttered every prayer he could remember from his misspent youth. Finally, Jim shouted, “Now!”

McCormack looked at him. “Now? Jump?” he asked.

“Jump right this damn second!” the carpenter shouted, and with a push helped McCormack over the bow. The sailor’s weight pulled on the line, which drew in the pulley, and the makeshift trebuchet lofted its load into the sky.

Chumbucket watched incredulously as what appeared to be a large crate arced into the sky and descended towards the enemy ship. “What the hell is that?” he asked Cap’n Slappy.

From below decks in the bow, they heard Two Patch’s voice rise in an anguished howl.

“My bees! Somebody stole my bees!”

“I’m gonna miss the honey,” Slappy laughed.

Taco saw something flying through the sky at him and knew he didn’t want to be under it when it landed. He ordered the helm hard a port, but it was too late. The crate smashed to the deck, releasing a cloud of very annoyed bees that went after the first thing they saw, which was the crew. Immediately, the sailors dropped matches, weapons, the helm and everything else as they slapped at the swarming, angry insects.

“Straight at ‘em, then hard a starboard,” Slappy ordered.

At 200 yards the Boil turned on the Spanish ship and loosed it’s first broadside. Below decks on Broche, Nigel and Sally heard the sound. Nigel immediately leaped to his feet and turned the room’s table on its side. Falling to the floor behind it, he said, “Come lay down with me for a while, Sally my love.”

“Nigel! This is no time for that. What the hell ...”

“Actually Sally, that’s exactly what this is time for,” he shouted, and dragged her down with the table on top of them as the first volley of cannon balls crashed into the hull of the ship.

The return fire was desultory, as half the Broche’s crew was either still fighting bees or searching the deck for dropped weapons. Within two minutes Slappy’s crew had wormed and reloaded the guns as the ship crossed the stern of the foe and raked it with another broadside. Musket fire from the rigging added to the damage below. Besides obscuring the two ships in a dense cloud, the smoke from the guns had the added effect of driving off the bees and the Broche began returning fire, but as is often the case, the edge belonged to the aggressor, and Slappy drove home his advantage.

“Mr. Droppingham, bring her around so the other guns get a turn. Then bring me up close. Boarders, get ready!”

There was a surge of men into the rigging as the starboard guns took their first shot. In the small brig on Broche, a ball hit the porthole squarely, smashing it and passing over Sally and Nigel, knocking the door off its hinges and throwing the two prisoners across the room.

Sally scurried to her feet. “Nigel! We can get out of here.”

Nigel didn’t respond. Sally knelt over him and realized there was blood trickling from his forehead. “Damn,” she said. Then, after putting a blanket under his head to cushion him and positioning the table over him again, she made her way into the passage.

“Boarders away!” Slappy shouted from the quarterdeck, and the first wave of pirates flew out of the rigging and across the 20 feet that separated their ships.

There was always a moment, suspended from the rope amid the swirling smoke, swinging from the rigging of his own ship to the deck of the enemy, when Chumbucket wondered for a split second if that might be what death is like, lost in the gray smoke of hell. Then the thought was gone. There was work to do.

Being in the first wave was dangerous, of course, but it was also simpler. When you landed, everybody you saw was a target. As he came out of the smoke, he saw a Spanish soldier preparing to swing at him. Chumbucket raised his legs till his feet were on target and bowled the man over, knocking him over the railing. Chumbucket hit the deck rolling, then drew his own cutlass and turned to face the man who was approaching him.

Keeling had landed farther to the stern, and quickly dispatched the two men who blocked his way to the helm. At the top of a short ladder he ducked to avoid a blow from Don Taco’s rapier, then vaulted to the poopdeck while Taco freed his weapons from the railing. The two turned and squared off while Los Mariachi strummed chords evoking the bullring.

Blades flashed as Keeling lunged, but Taco answered him steel for steel, parrying the attack. Keeling’s overhead cut was blocked, and he barely had time to parry the riposte that almost snuck inside his guard. “This guy’s good,” Keeling thought. Coincidentally, that was the same thought in Taco’s head as he circled, looking for an opening. Los Mariachi perched in the corner, playing the music’s tempo increasing as the blades whirled almost faster than the eye could follow. Taco lunged, but Keeling caught his blade on the guard and turned it, then swung for Taco’s leg, but the grandee was more nimble than he looked and he leaped out of the way.

In landing, however, he came down on a spar that had fallen during the cannonade and his leg crumpled under him. He slashed as he went down, slicing into Keeling’s forearm, but fell to the deck. The music stopped. Keeling raised his blade, aiming for the heart, but suddenly the blade fell from his hand and he also crumpled to the deck. Behind him stood Los Mariachi, the smashed remains of his guitar in his hand.

Red Molly had kept one eye on the fight on the poopdeck while she worked the cannon, and saw Keeling fall. Without thinking she dropped her tools and leaped for a line, swinging across the closing gap between the two ships. She fell to the deck, and in scrambling up found a cutlass dropped by the Spaniard who would no longer need the weapon. She raced to Keeling’s side just as Taco sat up and reached for his own blade. A stiff right cross from Molly, her fist encased in the steel guard of the cutlass, landed squarely on Taco’s temple, knocking him cold. Molly hovered over the fallen swordsmen, standing guard over her lover and her prisoner. Los Mariachi went to strum the appropriate music for the moment, but realized his guitar was now kindling. Sadly, he lowered its remains and began to hum the Death march – “Dum-dum-Da-dum, BA da dum dum dum dum dum.”

The swelling crowd of pirates was gaining the upper hand on the dispirited Spaniards. Chumbucket looked for another foe, and out of the swirling smoke saw a huge form.

“Cementhands! Glad you could make it,” he shouted.

But the shape that came at him from the acrid cloud turned out not to be his friend and shipmate. It was Leather Nipples, armed with a broadsword, his face a mask of death.

His blows rained down on Chumbucket, and it was all the pirate could do to parry them as he backed up. He had never fought a man so strong and so fast, and it was all he could do to dodge the Spaniard’s attacks. Finally, he felt the rail at his back and realized with a sense of desperation that it was now or never.

His lunge caught the Spaniard off guard and he retreated with a nick to his sword arm. Emboldened, Chumbucket increased his attack, but the Spaniard just smiled, parried the blow and struck a riposte that ripped Chumbucket’s blade from his hand and sent it skittering over the railing and into the sea. A remorseless look in his eye, Leather Nipples drew back for the final blow.

Then a puzzled look shot across his face and he stopped in midswing. His broadsword fell to the deck with a thunk, and he turned, showing Chumbucket the stiletto protruding from between his shoulder blades. Behind the Spaniard, Chumbucket saw Sally, her hand bright with blood. She looked her victim in the eye and said, “I’m sorry, Ernesto, but I told you. Please don’t take it personally.”

The man known as Leather Nipples fell to the deck.

Sally looked up. “Hello Chumbucket. Hope it’s going well. I’ve got to get below decks. There’s someone who needs tending to.” She disappeared.

Ol’ Chumbucket just stood there, gaping, as the last of the fight swirled around him.

Tim McGraw - Meanwhile Back At Mama's ft. Faith Hill

Like most everyone else, I first heard this song on the CMT Awards show. I loved it, there was something about it, besides the fact that his wife joined him onstage that I liked.

This song reminds me of life as it used to be, and some days I really wish I could go back to a simpler life like back at my grandparents. There was so much less to worry about, less technology but so much more fun. Running in the yard, gardens and eating off the land. Just a simpler more natural time. I miss that so much some days that I feel this song.

Every time I hear this song I think of the small town roots, being someone everybody knows, the corn fields and the ridges, the sunsets and the fun of running in the yard and never having to worry about being outside of letting the kids play outside.

Even though I have chosen a small town to raise my kids in, we don't live in the country and there isn't as much room to roam as what there was back on my grandparents place. This is a place were you know a lot of people and what they are doing and I have to admit that I love that about our little town. It's also a place where I feel reasonably comfortable letting my kids play outside and walk back and forth between their friends houses. Still some of the concerns of the big towns have started to creep into our small town.

The video itself is a wonderful look and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill together, which is just romantic. They have made a go of a marriage based on love and faith in a place were there is little respect for the older values. I applaud them.

Hopefully, when you see the video or hear the song, you will think about the older times, the slower times, and take the time to slow down and spend time with your family. Supper's on the table, let's all sit down together!

1. Create a folder E:\OIA and copy the download installation from the link above and extract it. It should look like below:

db / sample / conf / reports / legal / rbacx.war

This will be your RBACX_HOME, set the environment variable.

From sample folder, copy import and export directories and paste it to RBACX_HOME.

4. Setup database for OIA, use the schema script from RBACX_HOME\db folder.

For e.g. to load schema on mySQL database, use script named rbacx11.

Go to mySQL folder on your drive through command prompt

mysql> \.rbacx-

6. Go to RBACX_HOME\conf folder and copy from folder of name of your db to conf folder.

For e.g in case of mysql, copy file from RBACX_HOME\conf\mysql folder and paste it to conf folder.

Edit file in RBACX_HOME\conf folder by replacing $RBACX_HOME with path of RBACX_HOME (so for our eg. it will be E:/OIA)

Extract rbacx.war from RBACX_HOME into temp folder.(e.g. C:\temp) [What we will do is to make some changes, add couple of jars and repack it again and deploy on server]

Now navigate to C:\temp\WEB-INF directory and edit below entry in file

log4j.appender.file.file=logs/rbacx.log (default)

log4j.appender.file.file=E:/OIA/logs/rbacx.log   :—After Change

Similarly make changes to conf-context.xml file in C:\temp\WEB-INF folder. Replace $RBACX_HOME with path of RBACX_HOME (According to Environment Variable setup)

Copy below jars to C:\temp\WEB-INF\lib folder

1. jasper-jdt.jar (

2. jdbc driver for your database(mysql drivers are already included in lib folder so no need to add them ) For Oracle it would be ojdbc5.jar or ojdbc6.jar

3. Jars for the connectivity of the provisioning server, you will integrate with OIA.

(If OIM is provisioning server then get jars from ext and lib folder of your OIM_HOME)

also can be downloadable from following link.

10: Pack the folder C:\temp

C:\> cd C:\temp

C:\> jar -cvfm rbacx.war . (Create Ware File) from command prompt.

Holidays with hubbie

I'm going away for 2 weeks with my hubbie. We really need some time off, just for our selves. We've had some "bad" years with deaths and divorces in our family, and upon that a lot of taking care of the stuff the elderly left behind.
And just now, a couple of days ago we discovered a big leak of water in our apartment (we are renting, not living in our own house anymore) so we've had guys fixing that problem. While we're away they are going to put new wallpapers and floors, hopefully, to the flat.

So ... I'm SO SORRY I haven't had time to upload any new stuff, which was my intention, before we're leaving.
Be patient with me and you'll get them when I come home.

Until next time - God bless you all !!
