Laura and the CivicWow, lots of fun stuff this week, Matt & I finally made the decision to purchase a second car. Do the benefits outweigh the negatives?? —- let’s hope so! A second car adds a lot to our monthly bills, but makes life SO MUCH EASIER! And while I’m working at 6:30 for the next month or so, it’ll be much better for poor Matt to get some sleep!

So, we got a 2002 Honda Civic ($600 under Blue Book), the best part is the 36-44 mpg. Simply wow. Not as great as a diesel or a new hybrid, but pretty darn awesome. Boomer, as we named “her” also has a sweet little sound system and a sun roof AND keyless locks, how fun to have the “button”.

The picture was taken at the UofI arboretum, Matt, Jill and I traveled through on Saturday and took lots of pictures. Some to be blown up and put on the wall of the gorgeous foliage.

In other news I’m gearing up to go “solo” (without the previous DM to hold my hand) next week at work. Yikes! Not going to lie, it stresses me out somewhat. I feel like I have 100 questions that I don’t know to ask, but will regret not asking if I don’t have them figured out by Monday. But I know I have the basics down. Paperwork is of UTMOST importance, and not a single T can be left uncrossed. Being watchful and sensitive to any and all needs of the residents is also of extreme importance. I received training to be a “certified” feeding assistant last week, a lot of review on the nutritional ends of things but lots of new information in the social and bureaucracy end.

My prayer for the week:

Father, make me aware of the needs of others, despite my own discomfort, help me to love others in the way they need, give me patience, help me to learn quickly, help me grow into a respectable, trustworthy manager. Thank you for my patient husband as he learns to love his “space cadet” working wife. Thank you for the beautiful rain, thank you for “this” plan. Grow me, show me, teach me. I love you.*

* Hey readers, I’m reminded of Matthew 6:5-6… pharisees, praying loudly in public etc, please know this is honestly not my purpose in writing a short prayer at the end of some of my posts, mostly just to remind myself of the significance of the week, and possibly as a prayer request to my friends. If it ever comes off as more than that, please inform me. I’m hopelessly flawed and arrogant in so many ways that I’m unaware of blinded to.

So, I’ve been neglecting my blog! It’s been a whirlwind two weeks, unfortunately stressful, but (prepare your ears, because I’m going to scream) I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!

And not only a job, or a job in my major, it’s a job, it’s in my major AND I LOVE IT!

It all started on facebook, when Phil Walleck sent me a link on craigslist for a job as a dietary manager at a long term care facility 5 miles from my house, I initially thought “There is no way I’m qualified for this” but I took a look anyway and searched everything I could find about dietary managers. DMs (as they are called) monitor kitchens, hire and fire and manage kitchen staff, interview clients, take food histories, maintain sanitation standards, take nutrition risk assessments, get mighty fine paychecks AND (and this might be the best part require a Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition or a similar degree and a DM certification (passing a 500 question exam). WHAHOO!

I sent my application in, without a hope, I have ZERO managing experience and VERY LITTLE cooking experience. But what an ideal job! AND IN PULLMAN!! What are the odds???

I got an immediate e-mail back from the hiring manager, and she set me up with an interview. The interview was… dare I say it… fun?! After the initial awkwardness and the answering of the scary questions I visited the kitchen staff for a while, I ended up getting a hug from a cook, what are the odds of getting a hug at an interview.

So, irresponsibly Matt and I “went off the grid” for a few days and visited Glacier MT, it was so beautiful, and one the first day week took a long hike onto the top of  mountain. It was amazing to see the view from the 3 mile high top of the mountain, seeing a train below trudge on through, the clouds settled into the valleys and the wildflower patches streamed about near rivers and lakes.  I took my phone along for the off chance that I might get cell reception (I did!). I realized I two missed calls from the facility…. I called back on a friend’s phone that accidentally got onto speaker phone… I called back, and WAS OFFERED THE JOB!

So needless to say it was a real “mountain top experience”

I started on Monday, it’s a long term care facility, so some of the things that are seen there can be slighting “jarring”. It’s hard to see people at the end of their lives, unable to show truly who they once were. But the people there and my fellow employees are nothing short of delightful, and I can honestly say, every single one.

The kitchen team is a hoot! Second day there I felt like I belong, checking in an order and filling out nutritional risk assessments. SO FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

I’m overwhelmed what a perfect fit this job was for me! Is it a huge learning curve? yes. Will I stress out over getting every detail accounted for? yes. Am I utterly and totally clueless 90% of the time so far? heck yeah! But I see the potential for loving this job. For getting to know my fellow employees and hopefully making a difference there. For loving people, in a place where love might be not always willingly given.

I’m so so so thankful, and I’m eager to do a stellar job.

God had answers, I just didn’t know what was up with the last job. I was so disappointed, but He had a plan. This job is so much more than I even thought I could have, I had my sights on some cool colored rock, but God had a diamond in mind.

So all in all my brain is totally FRIED, my right arm is sooo sore from writing and I’m contemplating how to wash professional pants, but I’m grinning ear to ear, happy as can be to be to experience this awesome blessing!

jpeg apriumsJill, Matt and I went back to my parents house for a partial weekend, we looked at cars and shopped for professional clothes (YAY see next blog post!!)

My Dad came down with the very first fruit off the trees, not cherries or apricots but apriums a strange mixture of plums and apricots which wikipedia states as “75% apricot and 25% plum” after the much anticipated taste the consensus was that apriums are like “bad apriocots”.Very dissapointing when you are just so excited to bite into fresh fruit again for the season!

Well, I hate to let good produce go to waste… what to do with bad apricots? I decided to “muffin em'”. I got a recipe off of for Peach muffins and altered it. AND although not gluten free, I came up with some mighty fine muffins.

Aprium Muffins

1/2 vegetable oil

3 eggs

1 cup sugar

1.5 cups whole wheat flour

1.5 cups white all purpose flour

2 cups chopped pitted apriums

1 Tablespoon Cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup applesauce

You know the drill mix (but not too much) and plop into greased muffin cups. 25minutes at 350 degrees and volia! Fantastic muffins!

The apriums are quite tart, but they give the muffin a fun tangy flavor, delicious! Also I might add that the recipe made 20 muffins, I should have made 24, but no worries.

Worrying About Which Disney Princess To Play With Versus Counting T-Cells, Inspired Hollis To Help Kids With Cancer

When Hollis Belger was nine years old, she founded the Juggling for Jude initiative to raise money for kids with cancer at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where children are treated free of charge and don’t have to pay for food, housing, or travel. Also, doctors and scientists are working hard every day to find a cure for pediatric cancer and other diseases.

When Hollis first started Juggling for Jude, it was going to be a summer project. As a competitive soccer player, Hollis was learning to juggle a soccer ball, and her mom posted a video of her juggling on social media. The video got a lot of attention, so Hollis’s mom suggested that she juggle in exchange for donations to St. Jude to help kids with cancer. At first, Hollis wasn’t sure how it would work, but she knew she wanted to help kids who were sick. That first summer, she juggled every day and raised more than $34,000.

Fast forward six years, and Hollis has added in special events like juggling in parades, at malls, in charity golf tournaments, and at Major League Soccer games. She has also started speaking about Juggling for Jude at schools, where she talks about how each of us can choose a passion and turn it into a way to give back. Her incredible fundraising efforts have turned into a $400,000 campaign to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

Yeah, things are getting bad again....

My bedside disaster area is getting out of hand again. The pile of magazines and paper is now actually higher than the bedside table itself, and the heaps of books that lean against this pile are at a more or less matching height. I think something has to be done in the next few days or it'll all end in tears.

Sorry there haven't been any posts this last few days. You could say my mind is a bit like my bedside... a teetering pile of unsorted information. I have been crossing stuff off my to-do list, but it just seems as if as fast as I do this, I add new items, so I never get to the end of it. But I suppose that's a writer's life? I'm sure there are writers who sit at a clutter free desk, with their business paperwork in an A-Z filed filing cabinet and with all their books on mahogany bookshelves in an office with a harmonious garden view... but I bet there are more out there who function in various stages of hyper-chaos, the way I do... I could say it's part of the mythos of being a 'bohemian artiste', but that's just pretentious claptrap... what it really boils down to, in my case, is the mythos of being an idle, disorganised slob. :)

Anyway, my naughty Marquis story is moving ahead, at a modest pace... Christian is the type of male character I love. Dominant, but humane, aware of his own foibles and not prone to taking himself all that seriously. He's a sort of blend of Mr Stone and Valentino, but with a title and a crumbling old moneypit of a stately home.

While you're here, please, please, please pop over the the Night Owl Romance Awards and vote for me in the Best Erotic Contemporary Ebook!

Appalachian Food, Trend or Tradition?

So after appearing on the TV show State Plate where my family was featured making traditional Appalachian foods and now that CNN’s Anthony Bourdain  has traveled to West Virginia in his show Explore Parts Unknown, I am a little confused if the food of my home is now trendy or traditional? I wonder what it is that we as people are looking for when we have come back and taken the simple county food that my family eats and made it trendy.

I wonder if our nation has had so much world food exposure that we are looking for something that is truly American, something with traditions and stories that reflect our basic American history. Many Americans have never eaten self butchered meats, home-made breads,home canned fruits and veggies from the garden. So to these people my family and the mountain communities that surround me seem novel. Yet, I view myself and my way of living as traditional to Appalachia and not unique in any way. In reality it is not unique to most  Americans either, just forgotten for a few generations.

Food is just one aspect of a life here that is lived believing you will only be able to count on your family and yourself in an uncertain future. Families still raise gardens to provide valuable nutrition, they hunt, fish and forage as a normal part of the seasons. They can and dry foods for the winter and share the bounty with those they know and love. It is simple and direct to make food from what is growing near by. It saves money and is better for you because it is less likely to have chemicals and pesticides.  It only seems odd or novel to outsiders who would never think of eating wild rabbits or making your own wine from plants that grow like weeds. It also takes skills that many have forgotten over the generations. They say time stands still in the hills, so in this way we are fortunate to have kept the skills alive.

To my surprise, I was recently invited to be part of a historical “Foodways” museum exhibit at the Beverly Heritage Center  in Beverly, West Virginia. I shared some of my families recipes and our way of preparing several items that have been in the family for generations. I even shared some of the cooking tools we use for the display, some being over 60 years old.

BHC cooking display board

As part of the display the Museum created this panel about my family’s food history. It will be on display for the summer placed on a dinner table with 5 other panels. Each one sharing a Appalachian food story and a couple of recipes. Then during opening day Jenny the curator of the project will serve several of the foods that the families have shared with her during the collection process. I hope to make the apple sauce cake for her and the visitors and share some more of my families stories. The exhibit opens June 9th in the lobby of the Beverly Heritage Center in Beverly, West Virginia.

After my interview with Jenny, I began to reflect on the resent fascination with our rural foods. Our interview reminded me of why country families and mountain communities have such attachments to their food. Food is the link to each other and the communities that they value. As Jenny and I chatted, I found myself saying that it is often times food that brings us all together. It is church dinners and family holidays, birthdays and funerals, fairs and festivals, that whole communities will gather together to share in someones pain or celebration. Our foods are about nourishment, not only of the body but of the soul. We have family time, say Grace, and keep in touch with friends, families all with food. It is these connections with food that is different in the world today. Today’s families rarely sit down at the table to eat a meal together. Holiday meals are not home-made anymore. Never allowing everyone to get involved in the preparations.  Here in Appalachia often we know who butchered the meat, made the beer and wine that we toast with, know the woman who made the jams, jellies and the children who made the cookies sitting on the table our Thanksgiving table.

Today people have no idea what the ingredients are in their food or even how they  are grown or raised. Kids eat in the car and we get milk in plastic bottles. We have lost touch with the joy of our food.

Appalachian food is about being authentic and natural, full of stories and traditions. Sometimes it is fancy and other times it is simple and filling, but it is often more about who you share a meal with then the food on the plate that is important.

Golden Delicious Apple Dumplings with Salted Caramel Sauce.

So one of the things that the producers of “State Plate” TV show want me to make is apple dumplings made from our very own state apple the Golden Delicious. A wonderful history fallows the apple. It comes  from one of the most rural counties in our state, Clay County, West Virginia. The county is a twisty, curvy, mountainous place to call home but that is where the very first Golden Delicious apple tree was found. The apple tree was  growing wild on a hillside on the Mullins farm back the 1890’s. It was thought to be a naturally occurring hybrid but no one really knows. So after discovering the tree and it’s unusual fruit, a sample was sent of the Stark Brothers nursery for identification. It has been said that they were happily surprised by the new find and made plans to buy the tree and the land that surrounded it.  the  Stark Brothers company bought the tree in the early 1900’s and built a large fence around the tree.  The Stark Brothers company worked several years with seed and graphs to develop the very best and marketable tree that they could and in 1914 the began sale of the Golden Delicious apple that we love today. A crisp, yellow, fine skinned apple that is lightly tart; when baked softens easily making wonderful apple sauce or dumplings that are soft enough to cut with a fork.

Modern example of the Golden Delicious Apple

So as I continue to prepare for our up coming filming I have made a couple of batches of apple dumplings for testing and tasting. I wanted to be sure that I  still knew how to make them. I  made them from small hard Wine Sap apples on the farm when the whole family lived close together back in the 90’s. My brother-in-law still talks about them even today. So here is a photo of the first test batch.

apple dumpling close up

My family personally does not care for the sweet sugar glaze that most people eat with a dumpling. We would rather eat them with ice cream and salted caramel syrup topping. So that is how I am making them for the show.  I am hoping to make one more batch this weekend just to be sure I will not have a panic attack while they film. So in case you want the recipe I will share it here with some photos. If you get a chance to see me making them on the Inspiration Channels  “State Plate” you can see how they are made with the help of Taylor Hicks.

So the simple recipe that I am going to use is this one.

Apple Dumplings West Virginia Style

For the crust for 6 dumplings

2 1/4 cups all purposed flour

2/3 cup shortening

1/2 cup plus a couple of tablespoons milk if needed

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 egg with water for egg wash on crust

For the dumpling

6 snack size golden delicious apples, peeled cored and left with whole down center

1 stick room temperature salted butter

6 to 7 heaping tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon cloves

One Jar Smucker’s salted Caramel topping.

Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes until dumplings are golden brown and juice has escaped the into the bottom of the pan.

Mix together dry ingredients for pie crust adding in shorting and cutting together. Until dry crumbles form and they look like cheese curds. Slowly add milk and cut in more as needed to make a dough ball. Food processors do a wonderful job here.  Remove from processor and form a large flat ball and place in container in refrigerator while prepping apples.

begining crust

crumbly crust before adding all the milk

Peel apples and remove core with a melon baller tool,without breaking the apple.The apple should be hallow inside. Set aside while making the stuffing for apples. Mix brown sugar with butter until creamy but firm enough to hold together. If you can model it with your fingers like play dough you have enough brown sugar. Mix in the 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon cloves.  Set aside

7 inch crust rounds

Remove cool crust from refrigerator roll out on a floured surface in large oval about 1/4 thick. With a kitchen bowl around 5 inches in diameter,  mark and cut crust in smaller circles.  Re-roll until thin and about 7 inches in diameter. Score crust in 4 evenly placed locations to allow crust to fold neatly.

mix up 1 egg and 3 tablespoons water and brush edge of circle of crust.

begining of apple wrap

Place apple in center of crust and spoon in sugar mixture pushing to bottom as you go.  Wet edge of crust with egg wash, wrap apple in sections over lapping where the edges need to be pinched to hold together. Bring all edges together at top of apple and pinch together using more egg wash to hold everything. Cover dumpling with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon  repeat with other 5 apples.

Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes in a deep dish pan. Dumplings will leak and have sticky syrup in pan be careful it is very hot.Serve with a caramel topping and/or vanilla ice cream.

Welcoming the TV Show “State Plate” to Our West Virginia Home.

It is so confusing for me that we have not only been invited to appear on one TV program but now two. The second invitation came from a representative from the Television show titled “State Plate” a food show that represents all 50 states here in the US. The show visits a community and talks about regional foods that people love from that state. It would not really qualify as a cooking show, they don’t really show how to make food step by step, they just talk about the dishes famous in that area.The show shares information on the history of that food item and how it is prepared. In my families case, Tom has been asked to talk about one of West Virginia’s most famous foraged foods, Ramps, a wild leak or wild onion that grows wild in the hollows of West Virginia. I on the other hand will be talking about Golden Delicious apples, making an apple dumpling with ice cream. Their will be three other items covered on the show, the pepperoni roll, trout and biscuits and gravy. Other members of our community will be asked to show how they make these traditional dishes in a West Virginia style. So our portion of the show is only about two items out of 5 segments, each being about 6 mintues long.

Field of wild growing Ramps
Field of wild growing ramps

Tom will be the star of the “Ramp” segment and he has 50+ years of experience digging ramps, cleaning and eating ramps. He will visit a family friends farm and dig ramps with the host of the show and then if all goes well the show will visit a ramp dinner here in Buckhannon and see the many ways ramps are prepared and eaten.

Here is a link to some info about the show and their Facebook page if you want to learn more or are just interested in see what states they have visited or will visit in the future.

State Plate Facebook page

Then later the crew will visit our house to film a portion of the show about apple dumplings using Golden Delicious apples. At least this is one thing I know how to make and have made in the past. I am just hoping to not totally freak out about cooking in my house with cameras rolling. Cooking for anyone other than family and friends is a completely new experience, wish me luck on this part of the adventure. I will plan to make a couple of batches and freeze them just in case everything goes terribly wrong. Let’s hope nerves don’t take over and I can’t actually cook on camera. My heart is already doing flip-flops just thinking about the whole thing and the work involved in getting my house ready and getting just the right recipe together.

The filming will take place over Easter weekend and we are going to have a house full off and on all weekend.I am not even planning to make our traditional family dinner this year, we are likely going to get to-go boxes from the local ramp dinner and eat right out of the foam containers this year! I hope you all will fallow along as I work on getting ready for this next adventure into TV.

In a future post I will share my attempt at making apple dumplings for the show and you can see the mess and stress I go through trying to make something worth seeing on TV. I can only hope that we have as much fun making State Plate as we did making the episode of Barn Wood Builders. Who knew, a Hillbilly boy and his family would ever have these kinds of adventures in their own back yards!

The Detroit Tigers rolled to the American League title 50 years ago on September 17, 1968. And they did it the way they won games all year, by coming from behind to win.

When you're nine years old, baseball is your life. Not just playing it with your friends in the parking lots of warehouses, but watching your heroes, the Detroit Tigers on TV.

1968 was a special year for me, because it was a time when I had an insane love of baseball.

Later I would find out the hard way that I wasn't very good at baseball, and football and basketball would take its place. But for that one shining moment, the 1968 Detroit Tigers were my world, and on that one night, September 17, 1968, they rallied late like they had all season to defeat the New York Yankees and win the American League pennant. It feels like it was just yesterday.

The call of the final out from legendary Tiger broadcaster Ernie Harwell went like this:

This big crowd here ready to break loose. Three men on, two men out. Game tied, 1-1, in the ninth inning. McDaniel checking his sign with Jake Gibbs. The tall right-hander ready to go to work again, and the windup, and the pitch…He swings, a line shot, base hit, right field, the Tigers win it! Here comes Kaline to score and it’s all over! Don Wert singles, the Tigers mob Don, Kaline has scored…The fans are streaming on the field…And the Tigers have won their first pennant since nineteen hundred and forty-five. Let’s listen to the bedlam here at Tiger Stadium!

Listening on my clock radio in my bedroom, I had no one to high five or celebrate with, but my sister called me downstairs to watch the news, who had broken in with live shots from the Tiger clubhouse, and the tradition of pouring champagne over each other to celebrate became known to me.

Now, special booths are set up to interview the players post championship, but what I love about this is the primitiveness of the broadcast, almost as a chaotic as the celebration itself. And this first video features 30 game winner Denny McLain, the last player to win 30 games in a single season.

This video features Hall of Famer Al Kaline, Dick Tracewski and Jim Northrup.

The last video features hitting coach Wally Moses getting hit in the face with some shaving cream which has entered the celebration.

The Affordable Care Act

Whether you agree or disagree with the Affordable Care Act, the law is currently in place and will affect many in 2014.  The key provision of the Act requires every person to be insured no later than March 31, 2014.  If you remain uninsured after that point, you will be taxed 1% of your Adjusted Gross Income (capped at $4500 for individuals and $12,000 for families).  There are both advantages and disadvantages to the Act, all of which you should be aware.

The main advantage to the Act is that it lowers health care costs overall by making insurance affordable and available for everyone; those who were insurable in the past will be able to secure affordable health insurance.  Those who now use the hospital emergency room for primary care services will now see a primary care physician instead.  You may begin looking at insurance Exchange Plans on the Internet starting October 1, 2013, and coverage starts January 1, 2014.

In 2015, if you have fifty or more employees, you must pay an excise tax of $2,000 per employee for whom you fail to provide health insurance.  For those businesses with less than 25 employees that provide health insurance, if the average employee wage is less than $50,000 and you pay at least half of the premiums, you can get a tax credit for up to 35% of the cost.

Several disadvantages to the Act are that if you earn over $200,000 a year, ($250,000 a year for a married couple filing jointly and $125,000 for married couples filling separately), you will be taxed a .9% Medicare hospital tax on your income and self-employment profits.  There is also a tax on 3.8% of the lesser of AGI that is above the threshold, or investment income, such as capital gains and dividends.

Contact W.G. Alexander & Associates today to learn more about the Affordable Care Act and how it can affect you.

Attorney Bill Alexander discussed these issues and more this past Tuesday on W.G. Alexander & Associates’ radio program, “Asset Protection Today,” on TalkRadio 850 WPTK (AM). Be sure to listen every Tuesday morning from 9:00-10:00 AM.  To listen to this week’s show, please visit WPTF’s on demand show blog by clicking here.

MORTON GROVE, Ill. — Police in Morton Grove are still looking for leads after a body was discovered in the snow.

The man's body was found at 3:30 p.m. Sunday between two houses in the 8800 block of Oleander Avenue.

A police commander calls the death suspicious but investigators say there appears to be no danger to the public.

Investigators said the man did live not nearby in the area and that footprints in the snow indicate he was wandering the area prior to his death.

The person's name hasn't been released yet.

Streets around the home were blocked off for several hours Sunday.

A piddly little posy of pansies
left the station an hour ago
(off to Cleveland of all places),
running late. All alone,
the colorful collective thinks
to itself, “I should have had
a better breakfast.” A freight train
is no place for a flower
to be lollygagging around, fretting
about its appetite and desperate need
for sun rays, but that’s neither here nor there
at the moment. This bundle has an agenda,
and time is of the essence.

There’s no window in the car,
just that played-out open sliding door (the one
that may have Woody Guthrie’s initials
carved into it, whether by a fanatic,
the legend himself, or
just some schmo with the initials “WG”).

The posy, steeped in darkness, wonders
if it can gather the strength to flit
over to that certain patch of light
(the one there always seems to be),
when a breeze picks it up
and slaps it against the door,
just inches from being jettisoned.

A crash landing
in this stretch of rural Pennsylvania
would almost certainly mean a grisly death
at the hooves of the local Holstein population.
But now is no time to panic. Anxiety
will get you nowhere
in the face of a looming deadline
and quarterly financial report presentation.
Chin up, fair posy. We’re not giving up on you yet.

Termination Dust

Three weeks ago in Southcentral Alaska, we woke up to a long awaited and sometimes dreaded sight to many Alaskans: a light dusting of snow on the mountaintops. This beautiful, seemingly innocuous sight of powdery white is known as termination dust and is actually a harbinger of  the winter soon to come.

Termination dust signals the end of an Alaskan summer. During the Klondike Gold Rush at the end of the 19th century, termination dust signaled the end of summer prospecting and the termination of profitable employment in Skagway until the next summer – nine months away. At the other end of Alaska in gold rush Nome, termination dust similarly served as a sign for prospectors  to pull up stakes and head out on the last steamship before the snow set in unless they wanted to winter over for six months in Alaska.

Today, termination dust serves as a reminder of the drastic change that is heading our way. It signals the swift and perennially surprising transition between long, sunny, golden summer days and snow-swept cold, dark, endless winter nights. Unlike the gold rush days, however, when prospectors dreaded the sight of white-capped mountains, I feel a touch of thrill and excitement when termination dust arrives. The air becomes crisp and clean and I know that soon my cold and dark neighborhood will be transformed into a shimmering, crystalline, snow-covered winter wonderland where every day, however brief, holds the magic of Christmas morning.

Islamic Republic of Rape

Discussion in 'News And Current Events' started by Unregistered, Jul 18, 2009.

  1. SanguineRose Member

    This forum has NOTHING to do with Israel nor Palestine so next person here mentions it out of context or not relating to the OP gets a ban for a while. This is not talk about Israel forums nor is this lets talk about Palestine.

    Thank You.
  2. from here: Women Islam & Equality

  3. That's a publication of the NCRI (National Council of Resistance of Iran) a front organization of the Mojahedin-e-Khalq (a cult-like terrorist organization based out of Iraq and reviled in Iran). They are known for their deceitfulness and great PR.

    That said, there are accounts of rape in Iranian prisons from legitimate sources. If someone has the time, they could compile a list of references.
  4. As if they are worse than the Islamic regime...

    Don't forget that they are fighting for secularism. At least communists usually have a semblance of respect for humanity - the revolutions in Eastern Europe happened in a few days with nowhere near the number of deaths and tortures commited so far in Iran.

    IMO the Iranian people need all the allies they can get against the barbaric regime.
  5. You don't know about these guys. They are not just communists. They are nutjobs. They are a terror-cult. Nobody needs support from these guys. Their support would be a curse (and already has been risking Iranian lives as they're insinuating themselves in the situation).

    Chapter Four of Terrornomics: Terrornomics - Google Books

    This Human Rights Watch report: No Exit | Human Rights Watch

    Yes, before the revolution and in the first few years after the revolution they were a "legitimate" Islamo-marxist terrorist group.. (for those who consider terrorism legitimate). Since then they have morphed into a bizarre (dude.. yes.. bizarre.. ideological divorces, sending of children off to be raised and indoctrinated by others, imprisoning and torturing their own members) terror-cult with absolutely no popular support in Iran (not even among the reformists, not even among the secularists, not even among the socialists, not even among anyone.)

    I hope I haven't oversold the point. A little research will show you that I'm not exaggerating..
  6. JohnDoe Moderator

    Spouse would agree with you! Spouse who is no fan of the regime in any form shape or fashion says "The regime are a thousand times better than the Mujahaden, if I only have a choice between them and the regime I will take the regime any day."

    Now that's saying something!
  7. iran regime : worst human rights abuser in the world

  8. Dro Member

    Another interesting factiod about the MKO: The actually fought on the Iraqi side of the Iran-Iraq war, under the theory that the more Iranian soldiers they killed, they easier it would be for them to get to power. Given that virtually every Iranian lost family members in that war, this may be the no 1 reason why literally nobody in Iran supports them.
  9. "
    that is not quite as bizare as you think, that is what happened in Russia and China during their revolution, too. Just think of Mao or Stalin.
    I have heard that MKO fought on the Iraqi side during the war but I think they just thought that anybody is better than IRI. So many of them were killed, so many tortured by the Islamic government in Iran that I can (somewhat) understand their decision..
    I also do not think that no-one supports MKO inside Iran. Not so long ago, they had detailed information about nuclear development inside Iran. And because everyone thought of them "oh, that terrorist people" at the beginning, nobody believed their info. But it was true, wasn't it?
  10. The MKO is a dictatorship in waiting. The things they have done, and the thing they have become, would make them just like the current regime if they were to ever come into power. The restrict their people and treat them the same way the regime treats Iranians at home. No difference. If they really want to help in Iran, first they need to change the way they are themselves. Let their own members leave their compounds. Treat them like human beings. Practice freedom at home, because as they are now they do not know what freedom is. They have forgotten. How can you try to set up something you do not know and are completely unfamiliar with?

    True, they have good reason for ending up they way they are. Their members have gone through a lot, but that is no excuse for killing other Iranians and killing Kurds in the name of a country that wanted to impose its own dictatorship over Iran - and by this I mean Iraq. They fought blindly for one monster because of their blind hatred for another. They remembered the hate, but not why the hate.

    MKO, however, does not lie when they talk about the things they talk about. Whether it is too hard for you to hear or not, don't shoot the messenger. The message is the truth.

    But then, it is pretty obvious, to me anyway, that the ones in here using anything they can, from Israel to MKO, to try and avoid this subject and get people off it, are government psychological agents, sent here to do the same to the internet that they do in person at the protests. Their stink gives them away from thousands of miles away.
  11. Dro Member

    MKO's first mistake was to try to violently overthrough the regime. This gave Khomeini a great excuse to use extreme levels of repression against them (as in 30,000 executions over a few weeks), while at the same time alienating the population. This is why I also hope that the green movement stays nonviolent. We do not want a repeat of the 80's.
  12. Dro

    I think Khomeini would have found excuse regardless. MKO were contenders to power and Islamic regime had to destroy them.
    But you are right, I also hope that green wave will stay mostly peaceful. Anyway, MKO used terrorist methods, I really do not think that present movement would stoop to that.
  13. Ouch that hurts. If anything I (the original objector to the MKO source) have been trying to get people to stay ON this subject given how it's making the government agents and apologists squirm. The brutal rape of detainees is so repugnant that this must continue to be brought to light as a testament against the inhumanity and unislamicness of the government! I just wanted people to collect sources that cannot be objected to...
  14. i appreciate the objection, i didn't know anything about this group, but can we discuss it in another thread please? i don't want this thread to go off-topic!
  15. Now gawking

    Ok, yes. Agreed.

    The word is getting out, it has even been on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman McCotter gave this talk a day ago.

    Taraneh's Story makes it 2 floor of U.S. House Representatives YouTube - McCotter on Iran's Khamenei: Your Referendum Has Been Held and You Have Failed Your Test

    This must stop and the perps must be punished, but unfortunately that is not likely to happen soon.

    Persia conquered nations and freed many of them afterwards. Now a country with such a history is subjected to this vile stuff.
  17. I feel Taraneh's story is by far the most egregious of any of the martyrs....
  18. Maybe they should go back to calling themselves Persia, when the land and the people were known under Persia they were feared and respected for over a Millennium.
    Then they changed their name in 1935 and everything went downhill, (Some at the time considered the name to be caused by influence from Nazi Germany's "Ayran" Propaganda.)

    After that their Pro-German government gets invaded by both the Soviets and the British in the 1941 Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran, (While at around the same time the British invade and conquer Iraq)
    In the post war time Soviets set up some short term nations in the north that are crushed and later on the US pulls it's coup when it started disliking how the Iranian government was leaning.

    We all know the rest of the story.

    According to this piece, they claim to have compiled a list of 1,400 women most of whom have been raped by this fanatic regime...

    Rape under a fundamentalist regime

    Rape under a fundamentalist regime

    The Islamist movement''s "justice" and "liberation" excludes women, who are indeed explicitly discriminated against! A few examples from the Islamic Republic may help.

    In the courts evidence of female witnesses is inadmissible unless accompanied by that of a male witness. Even then, the value of a female witness is half that by the male (Article 33 and 99 of the Law of Retribution: Hodoud and Ghesas, Section 2 of Article 237)

    The diyeh (blood money) for a Muslim woman in cases of manslaughter and murder is half that of a Muslim man. (Article 300, Law of Retribution). If a male Muslim intentionally kills a Muslim women, he is subject to retribution (an eye for an eye) but only if the guardian of the murdered woman pays him half of the diyeh to the murderer to make up the deficiency (Article 6 of Diyat, Article 209 Law of Retribution). The blood money payable to the murderer amounts to 50 camels or 100 cows or the equivalent (Article 3, Diyat).

    A husband can kill his adulterous wife without punishment while a woman is punishable by death for a similar crime.

    Before the law, women are not a compete person their testimony is only half that of a man. These absurd efforts to place arbitrary and discriminatory values on women has serious repercussions on how women are thought of and treated by society.

    Extramarital sex is prohibited under Islamic law. To this extent Islam recognises rape as a crime. However rape taking place within the home and prisons is not considered rape and is therefore legal. It is this situation which I wish to address.

    Upkeep for submission

    The Koran (Nesa, 34:34) ascribes to men dominance over, but also responsibility for the women under their care. Women have to be given nafagheh (upkeep money), but in return must submit to their husband's will. If a woman disobeys her husband's will, he is instructed to separate their bed and to talk with his wife. If she continues to thwart his desires, he should hit her. The moment she stops disobeying, the punishment and sanctions for misbehaviour should stop. The Koran thus tells a man to respect his wife's rights, while also instructing him to abuse her.

    Moreover women are sex objects. A man is permitted four "ordinary" wives and as many "temporary wives" (concubines) as he wishes. A Muslim woman cannot marry a non-Muslim (Article 1059 of the Civil Law) but a Muslim man can marry a non-Muslim . Together these laws create a permissive environment for legal rape.

    n I came across Simin in 1979. She was 19 years old and had been pursuing her divorce case through courts for the last four years. One day on returning from school her father told Simin point blank she had to marry a certain man. Simin, being only 15, had no intention of marrying. She was also in love with another man. Simin refused and her father firmly insisted. She ran away three times, hiding with relatives, yet her father found her and forced her to marry. Simin kept running away from her "husband". She could not stand living and sleeping with him and he hit her and raped her.

    When I met her she was exhausted and despirited. Her family tried to help her get a divorce but the law did not permit it. The man followed her on the street and beat her. During the anarchy of the revolutionary days we formed a group to help Simin and in this way she was able to regain her freedom.

    A man divorces his wife on any pretext (Article 1133, Civil Law). Women, on the other hand, can obtain divorce only under extreme circumstances: if the man is mentally ill, or impotent (Articles 1121 and 1122). Given that women cannot chose their partners and that once married it is near impossible to get divorced, this is clearly legal rape.

    The age of marriage has been reduced for women from 18 to 9. All the harsh punishments prescribed under Islamic law are applicable to a 9-year old girl, whereas a 14 year old boy is still regarded underage and will not be subjected to such punishment until he is 15 (Paragraph 2, Article 1210, Civil Law). Furthermore, with the permission of the guardian (father or grandfather) and provided it is in the "best interest" of the ward, a girl can be married to a man even when she has not reached the age of consent, or indeed even when she is a baby girl (Article 1041 of Civil Law). This is legal child rape.

    Religious rape

    According to Islamic lay the killing of a virgin woman is prohibited. This reflects the objectification of women. In prison, if a virgin woman is to be executed, she is first "married" (raped) by one of the guards before execution. Afterwards the guard goes to the woman's family and declares that she is their son-in-law. It is totally distinct from the process of obtaining confession or to humiliate the prisoner. The prison guards are simply obeying Islamic law.

    Nadereh was educated in France and had been in touch with opposition groups against the Shah. On the eve of the revolution she returned to Iran to take part in the anti-dictatorial movement against the Shah. For Naderh, like other Iranian intellectuals, it was vital to be present in this decisive historic struggle. During the revolution she worked for a socialist organisation.

    She was arrested three years after the revolution. Although others with her alleged crime normally received a few years imprisonment, she was executed after a few month in prison. That was our first shock.

    We discovered the reason later. In prison her interrogator took a fancy to her. She had more than once complained of her interrogator's advances towads her. When her case went to court, which consisted of one mullah as judge and no jury, the interrogator accused Nadereh of attempting to escape during her interrogation. The mullah accepted this obviously false charge and sentenced her to death. Both the mullah as the interrogator knew full well that this also gave the interrogator permission to rape Nadereh. The interrogator got what he wanted and fulfilled his religious duty in the bargain. Thousands of young women were executed in Iranian prisons (1), most of them were raped under Islamic law.

    1. A list of 1,400 has been collected and published by Iranian Political Prisoners Action Committee. Some were pregnant, many were under 17.
  21. Thanks for this. Someone who's got some time could do a great service by tracking down that publication and making it available online (with publisher permission)!!
  22. Worldcat lists two entries from this author (Iranian Political Prisoners Action Committee):

    Iran : human rights abuse. []
    Iran : human rights abuse []

    They are probably the same publication.

    See if they're available at a library near you.
  23. It is a crime to stay silent as a leader

    If all these hideous things happen, mainly because of young basij who get carried away and this is against islam and against the constitution and against any law and against proper behaviour for muslims, non-muslims and all people, then I ask you:

    W H Y I S I T S T I L L H A P P E N I N G ? ? ?

    and why are there no leaders to speak against it? Why are all these renowned ayatollahs and grand-ayatollahs and all the others silent? Why don't they show the courage and stand up against this misues of their religion?

    In my very opinion relegion is something to avoid thinking and belief is your true inner self. Relegion can and will be misused as it is a power, belief can never be touched by someone else except yourself, so your belief is sacred.

    So either all these religous leaders are commiting the same cime by allowing this hate to happen (and sometimes even fueling it), or they are cowards and should never be called a source of emulation!

  25. Tarek Fatah: Confronting Tehran's vicious misogyny

    Tarek Fatah, National Post
    Published: Wednesday, July 22, 2009

    When the Prague Spring failed in 1968, few people believed that the seeds of dissent that had been crushed under the weight of Soviet tanks would blossom 20 years later to bring about the demise of the U. S. S. R. itself. A similar summer of discontent and rebellion has blossomed in Tehran in 2009, and I would venture to say that, this time around, it will not take two decades for the ossified state structure to come crashing down.

    The reason: This time, it is the mothers and daughters of Iran who have rebelled against the Islamic Republic of Iran and have come out in the streets to lead the men.

    For 30 years, an entire nation has been subjected to imprisonment, torture, murder and -- unnoticed by the world -- the institutional rape of its daughters, all in the name of Islam. No other dictatorial society, not even the Saudis, have used rape as a tool of subjugation as the Iranian ruling ayatollahs have. Perversely, it has been dressed up as an act of piety and religiosity.

    This truth is beginning to come out in the open. A serving member of the Iranian vigilante Basiji militia reportedly has told Sabina Amidi, a freelance reporter for the Jerusalem Post, about his enforced participation in the rape of young Iranian girls prior to their execution. The Basiji enforcer disclosed that the practice was justified by his superiors under the dubious proposition that, under sharia law, "it is illegal to execute a young woman, regardless of her crime, if she is a virgin."

    To circumvent this, Amidi's source reports, the mullahs would arrange a forced wedding of the young girls to prison guards on the night before the execution. "The young girl is forced to have sexual intercourse with a prison guard -- essentially raped by her 'husband.' "

    The report has not been verified. But those of us who long have followed the harrowing tales coming out of Iran find it entirely credible. Indeed, there are many precedents, as described below. But we also know that this story will be labelled as one more attempt by the "Zionists" to portray Iran in a bad light. This one-size-fits-all accusation has silenced numerous critics of the Iranian regime.

    In the early days of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the rape-execution of young Iranian democracy activists was rampant. Let me introduce to you, for instance, Soraya Abolfathi, who was only 20-years old when she was picked up by Iranian Revolutionary Guards for participating in a demonstration against Ayatollah Khomeni on August 19, 1981. She was taken to Tabriz prison where, during her 34-day detention, she was tortured repeatedly to pressure her to give up her friends. She refused. On Sept. 28, 1981, she was executed by a firing squad. However, it is believed the night before her death, she was forcibly wed to a mullah in a "pleasure marriage," the ensuing act of rape serving to ensure she did not die a virgin.

    Virgins, the mullahs believe, are guaranteed a place in paradise, and raping young girls ensures they go to hell.

    The systemic nature of Iran's use of rape as an instrument of punishment is repugnant. Yet amazingly, the Iranian regime has supporters here in Canada--even within the same left-wing and feminist groups that can be relied on to stand up for women's rights whenever they are endangered in the West.

    They should know better. It is not just Iranian women who have been raped and killed at the hands of Iran's murderous regime. One of our own endured this indignity, yet few are willing to speak out.

    I am talking about Zahra Kazemi a Canadian photojournalist who was arrested, tortured, raped and then murdered by the mullahs, yet is forgotten conveniently by all those who say it is their business to speak against rape as an instrument of war.

    Within the Muslim community, there was an absolute denial of what happened to Kazemi. On a TV show, for instance, a vice-president of the Canadian Arab Federation seemed to apologize for the Iranian regime, strenuously denying that she was raped. This despite the fact that Shahram Azam, a former military staff physician stated that he had examined Kazemi's body and observed that Kazemi showed obvious signs of brutal rape and torture, including a skull fracture, broken nose, crushed toe, missing fingernails, and broken fingers.

    It seems the women of Iran have had it with the mullahs. It is time for all Canadians to come out and stand with their sisters, for history will judge them harshly if the freedom they seek for themselves, they deny to the daughters of Iran.

    Collusion is an agreement, usually secretive, which occurs between two or more persons to deceive, mislead, or defraud others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically involving fraud or gaining an unfair advantage. It is an agreement among firms to divide the market, set prices, or limit production. [1] It can involve "wage fixing, kickbacks, or misrepresenting the independence of the relationship between the colluding parties."[2] All acts effected by collusion are considered void.

    Denial is a defense mechanism , in which a person is faced with a fact that is too uncomfortable to accept and rejects it instead, insisting that it is not true despite what may be overwhelming evidence.

    dishonesty through omission

    Evasion is an earlier stage in the shift away from reality, while self deception is a more advanced stage. The dishonest person begins by refusing to accept what he knows to be true and continues by convincing himself that what was negated by the facts he evaded was possible. Then the person has to keep evading the facts that negate his faked reality in order to perpetuate his fantasy... Self deception depends completely on evasion.

    The Associated Press: Claims of savage rape emerge from Iran's prisons

    Claims of savage rape emerge from Iran's prisons

    By ALI AKBAR DAREINI (AP) – 20 hours ago

    TEHRAN, Iran — An Iranian opposition leader said Sunday that detained protesters are alleging male and female prisoners were savagely raped by their jailers to the point of physical and mental damage.

    Mahdi Karroubi, one of two defeated pro-reform candidates in the disputed June 12 presidential election, said he has received the reports of rapes from former military commanders and other senior officials and he called for an investigation.

    "A number of detainees have stated that some female detainees were so severely raped that their genitals were damaged. Others savagely raped young boys so that they suffer from depression and serious physical and mental damage," Karroubi said in a letter posted on his Web site.

    He said such crimes, if proven true, would "disgrace" Iran's Islamic ruling system. He did not name any officials who made the rape claims.

    Senior police and judiciary officials acknowledged over the weekend that opposition detainees have been abused in prison and called for those responsible to be punished, apparently in an effort to calm public outrage over the mistreatment and death of prisoners.

    Both the opposition and some vocal critics within the government's conservative support base have railed against mistreatment and deaths of prisoners, presenting another obstacle to silencing postelection unrest. The opposition claims the election was rigged in favor of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and that pro-reform challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi was the true winner.

    Iran has confirmed at least 30 people have died in the country's worst unrest since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, though human rights activists say the toll is likely far higher. The country's chief prosecutor said about 200 protesters and opposition figures are still detained.

    Karroubi sent the letter to powerful cleric and former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who has backed reformists in the election dispute. In it, he asks Rafsanjani to bring the matter to the attention of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

    He also called on Rafsanjani to direct one of the clerical bodies he leads to form a committee to investigate the claims. Rafsanjani heads the Assembly of Experts, an elected body of 86 clerics whose official role is to oversee the supreme leader's performance.

    Karroubi said he did not send the letter to Ahmadinejad because he considers his presidency illegitimate.

    The mistreatment of detainees arrested in the crackdown on protesters has extended far beyond the reformist camp. Influential figures in Iran's clerical hierarchy have also condemned the abuses and the three deaths known to have taken place at the Kahrizak prison, which is at the center of the abuse claims.

    Iran's prosecutor general called Sunday for those responsible for mistreatment to be punished and said protesters weren't even meant to be taken to Kahrizak prison, located on the southern outskirts of the capital, Tehran.

    The country's police chief Gen. Ismail Ahmadi Moghaddam on Sunday also acknowledged protesters were beaten by their jailers at the same facility but maintained that the deaths in the prison were caused by a virus, not abuse.

    The head of the prison has since been arrested along with three guards there and the prison has been closed.

    About 100 of the detained opposition figures and protesters are on trial for charges including trying to overthrow the government. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called it a "show trial" in a weekend interview and said the U.S. supports the opposition.

    I think the regime is quite happy, that the discussion shifts to "misstreatment"
    of prisoners, away from rigging the election, killing peoples in the streets etc., etc.

    It will be soo easy for them to disperse these alligations on un-loyal wardens.
    They will have a big showtime to convict them to show the ppls:

    See, we go after each criminal.
  29. Machiavelli Member

    The crimes are too extreme to go by without impact.

    People have to see (IRIB) and people will remember.

    Even if Rafsanjani and Larijani will control a conservative government with Rezaie as President (to be extreme), this was happened will not be forgotten.

    In future there will be checks and balances and even more checks and balances.

    "People who claim to be devout muslims can be utterly evil."

    This is a deep insight. And it's slowly, slowly manifesting even among conservatives.
    From there on, nothing will be the same any more.
  30. Hechicera Member

    Yes, sadly, people who are utterly evil will claim to be anything that is convenient for cover or justification. History is littered with examples. :(
  31. am i the only one weirded out by the words "rape" and "probe" within the same line in tweets and headlines?
  32. Twister Member

    I'm literally nauseous

    While it cannot compare to what is being done to these girls and women... I was drugged and raped when I was 18.

    Over 2 decades later... reading those words brought back all the same emotions as if it were yesterday. I have goose-flesh, chills and am literally nauseated. It is the most demeaning, humiliating act. Bless all their souls to whom this is happening.

    To those perpetrating such barbarism: May you reap what you sow... in hell.
  33. I agree completely.
  34. SamSh Member

    I read the original article a while back.

    Makes my blood boil. What's even worse is things like this have been happening in Iran for the last 30 years and just now it's getting out...
  35. the jerks respond

    Hardliners Enraged by Revelation of “Rape” -

  36. a full English translation of this would be greatly appreciated.

    summary posted by a youtube poster:

    She is explaining how she was raped by a prosecutor from The Revolutionary Guard when she was 18. She was tortured in front of her daughter's eyes. When they could not get any information out of her one of the prosecutors raped her while she was in handcuffs and tied to a radiator in the prison corridor. She recalls how she was shocked and tried to commit suicide twice after that. She says any physical pain may be forgotten but to this day remembering this particular incident is painful.
  37. so. much. RAGE.

    Iran roiled by prison abuse claims - Los Angeles Times

  38. Those who go to such lengths to deny that this shit took place are almost certainly the same pigs that were promoting this barbaric behavior. All signs point to the revolutionary guard and their commanders, who take orders from Mojtaba, who takes orders from Khamenei himself.

From ArchWiki
(Redirected from Bootctl)
Jump to navigation Jump to search

systemd-boot, previously called gummiboot (German for: 'rubber dinghy'), is a simple UEFI boot manager which executes configured EFI images. The default entry is selected by a configured pattern (glob) or an on-screen menu to be navigated via arrow-keys. It is included with systemd, which is installed on an Arch system by default.

It is simple to configure but it can only start EFI executables such as the Linux kernel EFISTUB, UEFI Shell, GRUB, or the Windows Boot Manager.

Installing the EFI boot manager

To install the systemd-boot EFI boot manager, first make sure the system has booted in UEFI mode and that UEFI variables are accessible. This can be checked by running the command efivar --list or, if efivar is not installed, by doing ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars (if the directory exists, the system is booted in UEFI mode).

It should be noted that systemd-boot is only able to load the EFISTUB kernel from the EFI system partition (ESP). To keep the kernel updated, it is simpler and therefore recommended to mount the ESP to /boot. If the ESP is not mounted to /boot, the kernel and initramfs files must be copied onto that ESP. See EFI system partition#Alternative mount points for details.

esp will be used throughout this page to denote the ESP mountpoint, e.g. /boot.

With the ESP mounted to esp, use bootctl(1) to install systemd-boot into the EFI system partition by running:

# bootctl --path=esp install

This will copy the systemd-boot boot loader to the EFI partition: on a x64 architecture system the two identical binaries esp/EFI/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi and esp/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI will be transferred to the ESP. It will then set systemd-boot as the default EFI application (default boot entry) loaded by the EFI Boot Manager.

To conclude the installation, configure systemd-boot.

Updating the EFI boot manager

Whenever there is a new version of systemd-boot, the boot manager can be optionally reinstalled by the user. This can be performed manually or the update can be automatically triggered using pacman hooks. The two approaches are described thereafter.

Note: The boot manager is a standalone EFI executable and any version can be used to boot the system (partial updates do not apply, since pacman only installs the systemd-boot installer, not systemd-boot itself). However, new versions may add new features or fix bugs, so it is probably a good idea to update it anyway.

Manual update

bootctl must be used to update systemd-boot. If the path parameter is not specified, /efi, /boot, and /boot/efi are checked in turn.

# bootctl update

If the ESP is mounted on a different location, the path option can be passed as follows:

# bootctl --path=esp update
Note: This is also the command to use when migrating from gummiboot, before removing that package. If that package has already been removed, however, run bootctl --path=esp install.

Automatic update

The package systemd-boot-pacman-hookAUR provides a Pacman hook to automate the update process. Installing the package will add a hook which will be executed every time the systemd package is upgraded. Alternatively, to replicate what the systemd-boot-pacman-hook package does without installing it, place the following pacman hook in the /etc/pacman.d/hooks/ directory:

Type = Package
Operation = Upgrade
Target = systemd

Description = Updating systemd-boot
When = PostTransaction
Exec = /usr/bin/bootctl update

Loader configuration

The loader configuration is stored in the file esp/loader/loader.conf. The following settings can be specified:

  • default – default entry to select as defined in #Adding loaders; it is given without the .conf suffix and it can be a wildcard like arch-*.
  • timeout – menu timeout in seconds before the default entry is booted. If this is not set, the menu will only be shown on Space key (or most other keys actually work too) press during boot.
  • editor – whether to enable the kernel parameters editor or not. yes (default) is enabled, no is disabled; since the user can add init=/bin/bash to bypass root password and gain root access, it is strongly recommended to set this option to no if the machine can be accessed by unauthorized persons.
  • auto-entries – shows automatic entries for Windows, EFI Shell, and Default Loader if set to 1 (default), 0 to hide;
  • auto-firmware – shows entry for rebooting into UEFI firmware settings if set to 1 (default), 0 to hide;
  • console-mode – changes UEFI console mode: 0 for 80x25, 1 for 80x50, 2 and above for non-standard modes provided by the device firmware, if any, auto picks a suitable mode automatically, max for highest available mode, keep (default) for the firmware selected mode.
  • random-seed-mode - controls whether to read the random seed from the file esp/loader/random-seed. If set to with-system-token (default), it loads the seed from file only if the EFI variable LoaderSystemToken is set; if set to always, it loads the seed from file even if the EFI variable is unset; and if set to off, the file is ignored.

For a detailed explanation of the available settings and their corresponding arguments see the loader.conf(5) manual. A loader configuration example is provided below:

default  arch
timeout  4
console-mode max
editor   no
  • default and timeout can be changed in the boot menu itself and changes will be stored as EFI variables, overriding these options.
  • bootctl set-default "" can be used to clear the EFI variable overriding the default option.
  • A basic loader configuration file is located at /usr/share/systemd/bootctl/loader.conf.

Adding loaders

bootctl searches for boot menu items in esp/loader/entries/*.conf – each file found must contain exactly one loader. The possible options are:

  • title – operating system name. Required.
  • version – kernel version, shown only when multiple entries with same title exist. Optional.
  • machine-id – machine identifier from /etc/machine-id, shown only when multiple entries with same title and version exist. Optional.
  • efi – EFI program to start, relative to your ESP (esp); e.g. /vmlinuz-linux. Either this parameter or linux (see below) is required.
  • options – command line options to pass to the EFI program or kernel parameters. Optional, but you will need at least root=dev if booting Linux. This parameter can be omitted if the root partition is assigned the correct Root Partition Type GUID as defined in Discoverable Partitions Specification, in which case it will be automatically selected.

For Linux boot, you can also use linux instead of efi. Or initrd in addition to options. The syntax is:

  • linux and initrd followed by the relative path of the corresponding files in the ESP; e.g. /vmlinuz-linux; this will be automatically translated into efi path and options initrd=path – this syntax is only supported for convenience and has no differences in function.
Note: If options is present in a boot entry and Secure Boot is disabled, the value of options will override any .cmdline string embedded in the EFI image that is specified by efi or linux (see #Preparing a unified kernel image). With Secure Boot, however, options (and any edits made to the kernel command line in the bootloader UI) will be ignored, and only the embedded .cmdline will be used.

An example of a loader file to launch Arch from a partition with the label arch_os and loading the Intel CPU microcode is:

title   Arch Linux
linux   /vmlinuz-linux
initrd  /intel-ucode.img
initrd  /initramfs-linux.img
options root=LABEL=arch_os rw

bootctl will automatically check at boot time for Windows Boot Manager at the location /EFI/Microsoft/Boot/Bootmgfw.efi, EFI Shell /shellx64.efi and EFI Default Loader /EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi, as well as specially prepared kernel files found in /EFI/Linux. When detected, corresponding entries with titles auto-windows, auto-efi-shell and auto-efi-default, respectively, will be generated. These entries do not require manual loader configuration. However, it does not auto-detect other EFI applications (unlike rEFInd), so for booting the Linux kernel, manual configuration entries must be created.

  • If you dual-boot Windows, it is strongly recommended to disable its default Fast Startup option.
  • If you have an Intel or AMD CPU, load the microcode with initrd before other images, an example is provided in Microcode#systemd-boot.
  • The root partition can be identified with its LABEL, PARTUUID or UUID (see Persistent block device naming). This is required only to identify the root partition, not the esp.
  • The available boot entries which have been configured can be listed with the command bootctl list.
  • An example entry file is located at /usr/share/systemd/bootctl/arch.conf.
  • The kernel parameters for scenarios such as LVM, LUKS or dm-crypt can be found on the relevant pages.

EFI Shells or other EFI apps

In case you installed EFI shells and other EFI application into the ESP, you can use the following snippets.

Note: The file path parameter for the efi line is relative to your esp mount point. If you are mounted on /boot and your EFI binaries reside at /boot/EFI/xx.efi and /boot/yy.efi, then you would specify the parameters as efi /EFI/xx.efi and efi /yy.efi respectively.

Examples of loading custom UEFI Shell loaders:

title   UEFI Shell x86_64 v1
efi     /EFI/shellx64_v1.efi
title   UEFI Shell x86_64 v2
efi     /EFI/shellx64_v2.efi

Booting into EFI Firmware Setup

Most system firmware configured for EFI booting will add its own efibootmgr entries to boot into UEFI Firmware Setup.

Support hibernation

See Suspend and hibernate.

Kernel parameters editor with password protection

Alternatively you can install systemd-boot-passwordAUR which supports password basic configuration option. Use sbpctl generate to generate a value for this option.

Install systemd-boot-password with the following command:

# sbpctl install esp

With enabled editor you will be prompted for your password before you can edit kernel parameters.

Keys inside the boot menu

The following keys are used inside the menu:

  • Up/Down - select entry
  • Enter - boot the selected entry
  • d - select the default entry to boot (stored in a non-volatile EFI variable)
  • -/T - decrease the timeout (stored in a non-volatile EFI variable)
  • +/t - increase the timeout (stored in a non-volatile EFI variable)
  • e - edit the kernel command line. It has no effect if the editor config option is set to 0.
  • v - show the systemd-boot and UEFI version
  • Q - quit
  • P - print the current configuration
  • h/? - help

These hotkeys will, when pressed inside the menu or during bootup, directly boot a specific entry:

  • l - Linux
  • w - Windows
  • a - OS X
  • s - EFI Shell
  • 1-9 - number of entry

Tips and tricks

Choosing next boot

The boot manager is integrated with the systemctl command, allowing you to choose what option you want to boot after a reboot. For example, suppose you have built a custom kernel and created an entry file esp/loader/entries/arch-custom.conf to boot into it, you can just launch

$ systemctl reboot --boot-loader-entry=arch-custom

and your system will reboot into that entry maintaining the default option intact for subsequent boots. To see a list of possible entries pass the --help option.

If you want to boot into the firmware of your motherboard directly, then you can use this command:

$ systemctl reboot --firmware-setup

Preparing a unified kernel image

systemd-boot searches in esp/EFI/Linux/ for unified kernel images, which bundle the kernel, the init RAM disk (initrd), the kernel command line, /etc/os-release, and a splash image into one single file. This file can be easily signed for Secure Boot.

Put the kernel command line you want to use in a file, and create the bundle file like this:

$ objcopy \
    --add-section .osrel="/usr/lib/os-release" --change-section-vma .osrel=0x20000 \
    --add-section .cmdline="kernel-command-line.txt" --change-section-vma .cmdline=0x30000 \
    --add-section .splash="/usr/share/systemd/bootctl/splash-arch.bmp" --change-section-vma .splash=0x40000 \
    --add-section .linux="vmlinuz-file" --change-section-vma .linux=0x2000000 \
    --add-section .initrd="initrd-file" --change-section-vma .initrd=0x3000000 \
    "/usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxx64.efi.stub" "linux.efi"

Optionally sign the linux.efi file produced above.

Copy linux.efi into esp/EFI/Linux/.

Grml on ESP

Note: The following instructions are not exclusive to Grml. With slight adjustments, installing other software (e.g., SystemRescueCD) is possible.

Grml is a small live system with a collection of software for system administration and rescue.

In order to install Grml on the ESP, we only need to copy the kernel vmlinuz, the initramfs initrd.img, and the squashed image grml64-small.squashfs from the iso file to the ESP. To do so, first download grml64-small.iso and mount the file (the mountpoint is henceforth denoted mnt); the kernel and initramfs are located in mnt/boot/grml64small/, and the squashed image resides in mnt/live/grml64-small/.

Next, create a directory for Grml in your ESP,

# mkdir -p esp/grml

and copy the above-mentioned files in there:

# cp mnt/boot/grml64small/vmlinuz esp/grml
# cp mnt/boot/grml64small/initrd.img esp/grml
# cp mnt/live/grml64-small/grml64-small.squashfs esp/grml

In the last step, create an entry for the systemd-boot loader: In esp/loader/entries create a grml.conf file with the following content:

title   Grml Live Linux
linux   /grml/vmlinuz
initrd  /grml/initrd.img
options apm=power-off boot=live live-media-path=/grml/ nomce net.ifnames=0

For an overview of the avialable boot options, consult the cheatcode for Grml.

Installing after booting in BIOS mode

Warning: This is not recommended.

If booted in BIOS mode, you can still install systemd-boot, however this process requires you to tell firmware to launch systemd-boot's EFI file at boot, usually via two ways:

  • you have a working EFI Shell somewhere else.
  • your firmware interface provides a way of properly setting the EFI file that needs to be loaded at boot time.

If you can do it, the installation is easier: go into your EFI Shell or your firmware configuration interface and change your machine's default EFI file to esp/EFI/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi (or systemd-bootia32.efi depending if your system firmware is 32 bit).

Note: The firmware interface of Dell Latitude series provides everything you need to setup EFI boot but the EFI Shell won't be able to write to the computer's ROM.

Manual entry using efibootmgr

If the bootctl install command failed, you can create a EFI boot entry manually using efibootmgr:

# efibootmgr -c -d /dev/sdX -p Y -l "\EFI\systemd\systemd-bootx64.efi" -L "Linux Boot Manager"

where /dev/sdXY is the EFI system partition.

Note: The path to the EFI image must use the backslash (\) as the separator
