and you are easy.
Continue easy and you are right.
The right way to go easy
is to forget the right way
and forget that the going is easy.
Chuang Tzu [translated by Thomas Merton]
{ 32 comments… read them below or add one }
It's 12:30 am here and I'm going to admit that the first thing that popped into my head when I read this was this irreverent (but entirely true) tidbit from Lily Tomlin: "For fast-acting relief, try slowing down."
Happy Friday one and all….
Mmmmmmmm….. I am reminded of such great surrender by those few words. Not the surrender of defeat, but of some great turning, yielding to some great love. I have to say the feeling that came over me as I read the post was quite profound.
Oh Michelle – your comment! I love the Lily Tomlin reference. And as someone who has created an email address and original online presence (back in the wild west days of 5 years ago, when anonymity seemed the way to go!) using the Latin that means "make haste slowly," I had to smile!
Your response not the surrender…but of some great turning….
as i go off to work I am going to let that steep.
thank you
Love it! Easy duzzit!
And yet doing the right thing, especially for others, is rarely easy to do… even if it brings us inner peace.
This quote sailed right over my head, so I had to find some context. If you're like me, it will help a lot to see the full poem below.
When the Shoe Fits
Ch'ui the draftsman
Could draw more perfect circles freehand
Than with a compass.
His fingers brought forth
Spontaneous forms from nowhere. His mind
Was meanwhile free and without concern
With what he was doing.
No application was needed
His mind was perfectly simple
And knew no obstacle.
So, when the shoe fits
The foot is forgotten,
When the belt fits
The belly is forgotten,
When the heart is right
"For" and "against" are forgotten.
No drives no compulsions,
No needs, no attractions:
Then your affairs
Are under control.
You are a free man.
Easy is right. Begin right
And you are easy.
Continue easy and you are right.
The right way to go easy
Is to forget the right way
And forget that the going is easy.
~ Chuang Tzu ~
That's where I like to spend my time: in the zone
Thanks Jim for the full version, as like you; the verse sailed over my head. I now have a better understanding.
Happy weekend to all. Planning to bake cakes with 3yr old Gracie and if she lets me cuddle our 6wk old grandson.
Thanks Jim! Reminds me of my first riding instructor's words, "Be one with the horse. " When we stop trying, we give in to those unseen forces that carry us. Tho not verbatim there is another master who said "put on my yoke, the way is easy, my burden light. " When we're doing what's right, the path opens before us and what may appear a challenge to an outside observer, doesn't seem so to us.
So very true. I like your riding instructor's wise words, "Be one with the horse." God often tells me to rest in God which seems to me to be the same invitation.
love it!
Thanks for the whole poem, Jim. When I first read the post I was in a hurry so I didn't comment but it reminds me so much of Pedro Arrupe's prayer "In the hands of God" which I pray several times a day:
"More than ever I find myself in the hands of God.
This is what I have wanted all my life from my youth.
But now there is a difference;
the initiative is entirely with God.
It is indeed a profound spiritual experience
to know and feel myself so totally in God's hands."
Have a good weekend everyone.
Lynda, I love that. Thank you!
I happened to view a short video of you talking about our deepest desire before I read this poem. And like Jim, I read the full poem when I clicked on the Source provided. It is so beautiful in its entirety.
Like what you said in the video, I start my prayer, as far as I can remember, with "Just teach me to love you" by way of acknowledging my deepest desire. In one moment of inspiration, I was afforded to view my life from the time I was born up to that particular moment in prayer, and was shown what was missing in each episode of my life. I realized that I had lived for other people's expectations – be it family, religion, society, etc.- that I did not give myself a chance to be me – my uniqueness before God. Slowly, I took the courage give myself a chance -a saint and a bungler – but confident that I am trying to express my individuality as I am before God. It is so freeing for it is indeed an "easy road" when one relinquishes the desire to perform to the tunes of others. I listen to my own special symphony – and probably, the reason why I love being in the Garden of Gethsemane because it symbolizes to me, among other things, a place of renunciation. I thank God for this invitation.
Emma — I thought of "My yoke is light, " too. I am still wondering how it is that we can "forget that the going is easy." Maybe what I need to do is stop thinking about it for a while — maybe that's the message for me this weekend — just relax, and not worry if I am doing it all the right way, and just enjoy doing it.
Happy weekend, everyone.
Love "and forget that the going is easy" so true. But you know, it is better when it is shared!
When I first started riding, I was so tense. I held on for dear life, kicking, yanking on the reins and I would smack him with the crop. That horse wouldn't move! He would stiffen up, turn his head and look up at me as if to say, "What the eff do you want? " As soon as I relaxed my legs and my grip o n him, we started going places. Once I trusted him to carry me we FLEW! I think that's the same with God. When we trust that he will get us through, when we trust Him to carry us over life's hurdles, we SOAR! But first, we have to loosen our grip on therreins
Tricky though eh?
Count me in on the full version being required to understand it. It was like someone missing out a line or two of factorisation and delivering an abridged equation form for me :-/

By delegating specified managers with limited abilities, SharePoint AD Admin will decrease the total workload of System Administrators.

Lemon Heads Arrive at Franglais
New Curly Sue Colours
Wolfcreek Cubs and Big Bad Wolf
We have just received our latest consignment from Wolfcreek which included two great new Jerk Baits. First we have a new colour Cub – Night Carp – seen at the bottom right above. This means we now have stock of eight colours of the Cub which has a great side to side glide action with a superb belly flash on a pause.
We also received the first colour in a new size bait for Franglais Fishing – the Big Bad Wolf. This is a 20cm, 160g bait with a long glide and a rocking action on a pause. Looks fantastic in this Walleye colour.
Bikini Baits New Glide Bait – Tripwire
More Hooks and Split Rings
It is often difficult to find large sized treble hooks with a wide gape suitable for replacing lure hooks that you have had to cut or are simply past their best. We have now added Musky Innovation's range of Plasma Point hooks in sizes 3/0 to 8/0 in packs of 25. These are reasonably priced with super sharp points that stay sharp.
Partly to complement these new hooks and partly to expand our range, we have now added a series of nickel plated steel split rings from Worth. These rings range from quite small to large enough for big baits and are very strong for their gauge so ensuring the hooks do not interfere with the lure's action.
Jig A Beasts Arrive
After a number of special orders, we have just added the full range of colours of the Esox Research Centre Jig A Beast.
A Jig A Beast is the ultimate swim jig. It cannot be beaten when used as a traditional lift jig but it has the versatility to be used in many different presentations, including a straight burn or troll. The Jig A Beast is available in 5″, 1oz or 7″, 1½oz sizes with a single, wide gape jig hook.
More Believers at Franglais
We have now added some more Believers to our store. The 6″ Straight Believers have been popular for some time now so we decided to add a few of the larger versions.
First we have three popular colours in the 8″ Straight version. These superb baits move in sudden and unpredictable ways triggering strikes even from fish that have seen everything thrown at them before. The Believer's unique shape and design combined with a deep (top) and shallow (bottom) eyelet allow this bait to be fished from the surface down to depths of 12' (360cm). Retrieve the Believer slowly as a surface bait over thick vegetation, work it as a jerk bait or twitch bait over and through emerging weed growth or more traditionally, cast and deep troll it as a crank bait.
We have also added a 9″ Super Believer in Fire Perch colours. These can be cranked across deep rocks or timber, wobbled over the tops of weeds, twitched and jerked through weeds or simply used as a top water.
Whichever Believer you pick, believe me, they work!
Chaos Tackle Medussas Arrive
We are pleased to announce the arrival of Chaos Tackle Medussa soft plastic baits to our range.
Designed with three incredibly lively tails to help bring this dynamically balanced swimbait to life, you can jerk, rip, troll, slow roll or just cast a Medussa out and retrieve it. There is no wrong way to reel in a Medussa.
We have the full range of Medussa colours available from stock in Mini 8″, 4½oz or Regular 10″, 8¼oz sizes as well as a few colours in the Monster 15″, 12oz size.
ERC Pearson Grinders / Bump and Grind Spinnerbaits
Dick Pearson's name is legendary on the Musky scene. He has not only written the definitive water craft guide to musky fishing on Lake of the Woods (available in our store) but has also developed some of the most productive spinner baits available. We have carried the heavier 3oz version of the ERC Bump N Grind for some time now but due to popular demand have started stocking the 1oz and 2oz versions as well. On top of this, we have now added a few Grinders.
The main visual difference between a Bump N Grind and a Grinder is the blade. The Bump N Grind (top) has a large Colorado blade which delivers a thump right through the rod handle whereas the Grinder (bottom) has a Willow blade and is specifically designed to grind its way through weeds.
Lakewood Lure Boxes
The size of many pike / musky lures makes them a little awkward to transport around at times. However, we have just added Lakewood Products to our portfolio of manufacturers and as you can see from this picture, they make some superb cases to accomodate as many lures of as many sizes as you want. They are durable and travel resistant and so strong that you can use them as a seat if you want to. We are currently stocking 3 sizes but if you want one that we do not stock, please just contact us for a price and delivery period.

Nov 21 2012 by Douglas Dickie, Rutherglen Reformer
Around 350 jobs are under threat in Cambuslang after Vion announced they were selling their UK businesses.
The Dutch food group own the Grampian Foods factory in Westburn, and are now seeking a buyer to preserve the jobs.
Workers are now anxiously waiting for news on their future.
Vion announced on Monday that they would concentrate on their core markets in the Netherlands and Germany.
Peter Barr, chairman of Vion UK said the company was already in discussions with "a number of interested parties," regarding the purchase of the businesses.
He added: "The level of interest in the businesses has been strong and we hope to be in a position in the near future to give further details about the progress which has been made."
It is not yet clear when the company will release information about the potential buyers and the future of the Cambuslang base.
Trade Union Unite represent around 300 workers at the plant, and convenor Scot Walker told the Reformer that employees were anxious about the future, especially after Vion announced 1700 jobs were to go at the Hall's meat processing plant in Broxburn.
He said: "We haven't really received any information from the employer other than what is in the formal announcement, and clearly that does not engender a positive feeling.
"They are saying they are some way down the road in discussions with potential buyers.
"Clearly we would like more information as to who these potential buyers are and there are very real concerns given the closure at Halls.
"Job losses are always devastating but especially coming up for Christmas and with the current economic climate.
"I would not say morale is at rock bottom but people see what's happening at Hall's and that is a worry.
"Obviously it is positive that the employer is saying there are potential buyers but it remains to be seen who they are."
Vion took over the Grampian site in 2008. In 2009 around 150 jobs were lost when Marks and Spencers halved a contract with the firm. A year later, a contract with Sainsbury's saw an increase in jobs. It is believed the two main contract ors are currently M&S and the Co-operative.
Earlier this year, workers at the site went on strike in protest at a two per cent pay offer.
Job losses would be a huge blow to the area. Last month, 895 people in Cambuslang were claiming job seekers allowance, a rate of 5.5 per cent compared with the Scots average of 4.4 per cent.
Rutherglen and Hamilton West MP, Tom Greatrex, and Rutherglen MSP, James Kelly, are hoping to meet Vion and union leaders to discuss the future of the plant.
Greatrex said: "We need more detail about what their plans are. Vion have said there is interest and negotiations have taken place and we want to be aware of what the implications will be for Cambuslang."

Why HP Will Survive the "Death" of the PC
Douglas is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
While it is hard not to join the angry masses, grab a torch or a pitchfork and march on the headquarters of Meg Whitman and her monster – the once-venerable Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE: HPQ) – we have all seen that movie and know how it ends. This analogy of course begs the question of whether the company's $8 billion goodwill impairment charge has condemned it to die misunderstood, or if salvation may still be achieved. Ultimately, despite the very significant missteps that HP has made, if Ms. Whitman is as savvy as her board hopes, there may still be hope for this beleaguered icon.
Oops And/ Or My Bad
Despite an explicit warning from HP that the numbers would be exactly as bad as they were, last Thursday's trading session saw investors punish the stock to the tune of 8.15%. To review, $8 billion of the company's $8.9 billion loss is attributable to a goodwill writedown related to the company's ill-fated purchase of enterprise IT service provider Electronic Data Services (EDS). HP also has a billion-plus dollar write down from its acquisition of Palm, Inc. to its credit and comparisons are being made to Microsoft Corp.'s (NASDAQ: MSFT) $6.2 billion gaff with online advertiser aQuantive. The parallel is a good one, but not for the reasons one might think – see below.
If one is to be fair, and since we're only talking about billions of dollars, Ms. Whitman was not at the helm when most of these bad choices were made and she has been very candid about what to expect, even precise in estimating the bad news. HP has been one of the beacons of innovation since its founding over fifty years ago. For a technology company to survive for that long, it must make mistakes, learn from them and quickly move on. The current "transition" period is a test of whether HP has another self-reinvention left.
Does Death Truly Cometh?
One of the stark realities of HP's numbers is that the most significant decline in revenue came from the segment that includes the company's core-PC business. Of even greater concern is the fact that the decline bumped that segment out of the top spot for revenue generation; the service segment is now the highest revenue producing part of the company. The decline is not specific to HP either; Dell Inc. (NASDAQ: DELL) has faced similar declines in sales. One reason Dell has seemed to suffer less is that it has remained focused on its core business and obtained a strong foothold with students. Dell turned to cheap and easy customization options to differentiate itself and has been successful.
So, given the demonstrable decline in PC sales, is the era of the PC really at an end? The answer is mixed. While on the one hand, tablets have made a significant dent in how users access the internet, existing models are not real replacements for full-function PCs. Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPad seemingly has defined a new generation in computing, but papers, spreadsheets and reports are not created on an iPad. Similarly, Google's (NASDAQ: GOOG) tablet, the Nexus 7, is not a productivity device either. The device's slogan is "The Playground is Open." Not the stuff that major corporations are arming their professionals with. In fact, society seems to be facing an updated version on Newton Minow's The Vast Wasteland; the original reference referred to television, but the idea of content without substance may be even more prevalent online. Computing seems to be changing to its very core, but it is about consumerism, not production and creativity.
So This Helps HP How?
In late October, Microsoft is set to unveil both its Windows 8 operating system and its Surface tablet. Unlike existing tablets, the Surface is supposedly going to have the capability to run the full version of Microsoft's Office Suite and truly possess the functionality of a notebook. While Microsoft has been largely responsible for the production of the device internally, there should be plenty of room in the market for HP to create a notebook/ tablet hybrid like the Surface. Take for example the Google Nexus 7 and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 with runs on Google's Android operating system; these two devices have been able to share the spotlight with plenty of consumer dollars to share between them. Outside of the world of Apple, the market seems happy to accept various similar, yet competing devices. While Dell and others may take this same approach, particularly if the Surface is met with any real enthusiasm, there should be plenty of growth available to go around. Either way, such a development could harken in a new era of competition between the PC juggernauts, and maybe even a return to productivity.

The Artist triumphs at the Oscars
Two films about the origins of cinema strolled away with majority of the awards last night, with The Artist and Martin Scorsese's Hugo taking home five Oscars each.

Florence, Ala. | Wednesday, May 22, 2013 |
FLORENCE — A Lauderdale County man killed inside his home Nov. 19 had his throat cut, was stabbed multiple times and was shot in the head, based on testimony during Wednesday's preliminary hearing involving defendant Shannon Paul Brewer.
Sheriff's investigator Richard Richey testified that a preliminary autopsy report indicated Mark Allen Dishon, 49, was stabbed in the back, face, chest and head, and his throat was cut.
Richey added that a forensics expert said Dishon was shot once in the back of the head after his throat had been cut and he had been stabbed multiple times.
Brewer, 24, of 7876 Lauderdale 200, Florence, is accused of killing Dishon while the two were together at Dishon's residence at 64 Lauderdale 638, which is in the White's Lake community, just north of Florence.
Brewer is charged with murder and second-degree assault in connection with the stabbing death of Dishon and an attack on Dishon's ex-wife, Sandra Sikes, who was living at the residence. She had minor injuries, authorities said.
The case will now be reviewed by grand jurors to determine if those charges will stand, be dropped or if additional charges will be added.
Richey also testified Wednesday that witnesses reporting seeing Brewer leave a residence in Hale Trailer Park on Stoney Point Road the night of Nov. 19 and return a short time later covered with blood. Testimony indicated Brewer reportedly burned his clothes in a burn pile that was outside a residence where his brother, Jerry Lee Brewer III, was staying.
Testimony also was given that Sikes, 66, told deputies that Brewer cut her and stabbed Dishon.
"She didn't know the man's last name and referred to him as Shannon," Richey said.
Testimony indicates Sikes identified Brewer from a photo.
After nearly three hours of testimony Wednesday, Brewer's attorney, Melinda Austin, tried to convince Lauderdale County District Judge Carole Medley that the district attorney's office had not provided enough evidence to present the case to a grand jury.
During cross-examination she pointed out there was no documentation showing how Shannon Brewer became a suspect.
"I'm satisfied that probable cause has been met and the case will be bound over to the grand jury," Medley said after denying Austin's motion.
Brewer's brother, Jerry Lee Brewer III, whose previous address is 1402 S.W. Eighth St., Sheffield, is charged with first-degree theft of property in the case. He is accused of taking a car that he and his brother used to leave the area after Dishon was killed.
The brothers are accused of going to a convenience store on U.S. 43 and stealing a 2001 Toyota Sequoia. They were still in the Sequoia when taken into custody the next day in Tallahassee, Fla., according to reports.
Richey said Shannon Brewer stated while he was being questioned that he was at Dishon's house watching television when the victim pulled a gun on him and pulled the trigger. He said the gun jammed and didn't fire.
"He said they got into it and he stabbed Dishon, cut his throat and shot him in the back of the head," Richey said.
Shannon Brewer is being held in the Lauderdale County Detention Center in lieu of $1 million bail.

When you should call within the professionals for Home Design
This short article consists of helpful information hopefully our site visitors will appreciate.
Finding details on the home improvement or remodeling project can be challenging.
For professional construction books, check out the BuildersBookshop.
Whenever you?lso are redecorating your house, the initial question you have to request on your own is whether you?re likely to employ a professional or do-it-yourself. The solution is dependent on which you?re thinking about doing.
There are also good remodeling information by doing a web-based look for your particular construction problem.
The very best construction books, videos and software are available at Contractor-City.com
Please make use of the menu options to browse many effective construction references.
You will find lots of things that can be done yourself rapidly and simply: painting, setting up shelves and cabinets, everything type of factor. Anything you'll find within the DIY shop will include instructions which should let anybody who's reasonably familiar with DIY set it up.
However, if you wish to make a move more difficult ? transforming an area right into a bathroom or perhaps a kitchen, or building extra time, for instance ? then you definitely?lso are have to an expert.
If this involves home design, however, it may be difficult to know precisely who to employ. For fundamental things, you'll need a renovator, however for more complicated projects you may need a builder. To complete anything within the bathroom, you most likely require a plumber. Should you?lso are giving all of your house a transformation, you may even wish to employ a professional designer, who'll consider the overall picture and develop suggestions to help make your house a much better home in.
While professional designers could be costly, they're usually well worth the money ? you wouldn?t think it in the amateur jobs the thing is on some TV transformation shows, however they do understand what they?re doing. You will find some cowboys available, though, so make certain the individual you?re used has all of the relevant qualifications: it?s better to request for references, as which means you are able to go and discover for yourself houses they have done formerly, and find out if you want them.
Be cautious on knowing them since they?lso are not your taste, however ? keep in mind that a great designer will reflect exactly what the people requested, not only pressure their very own tastes on people.

Hopefully you found this short article informative.
Have you got more questions? You'll find all of the remodeling books and videos you'll need in the BuildersBookshop.

Self Portrait
We did this shot in the old town. It's not as though you can see how hot we had become. It was about a minute later that we made a break for the car and the A/C. You really can't walk around in the late afternoon. It's why I believe everyone is out and about at late night.
Mayrig Restaurant
Even though I have been in Jeddah for nine months, I have barely gotten around due to transportation limitations. Here is a 'find.' I had passed this place many times but it is a bit too far to walk. We stopped in and checked the menu. Julia loved it so much we ate there twice. The dish you see is cherries covering kabob meatballs and crisp flatbread chips. The other is phyllo wrapped meatballs that will be covered by yogurt. The pictures don't do justice to the fun that we had. And it is cherry juice that we drank. No alcohol, it was very good indeed.
Julia, Abaya
We wandered the old city. In the sun it was hot as in hot and sweaty. We were melted in pretty short order. Julia was pretty hot but remained a good sport. She even wore the scarf out of deference. Men don't have to wear any covering except the pants are to cover the knees. I was hot but not nearly like what it must be to wear a black abaya. I have to say that I have Julia video of what shall be called 'the abaya dance.'
A macaroon in New York is associated with Passover and is a heavy coconut cookie. In French (Paul restaurant) it is a light meringue cookie sandwiching some fresh raspberries. I had an éclair. Julia didn't want a taste of mine and before I could turn around she had finished her macaroon. Why? She didn't want to share hers. Hmm… I didn't really want pink food anyway.
Paul, Restaurant
Having run Julia around in a jam-packed schedule and with jet lag ever present, she was too exhausted to go for dinner. Being the ever insistent father, I dragged her out of the villa kicking and screaming all the way. I ordered up a lemonade with mint (hence the green color). "Taste it." And then I had to order another one for myself. She had the classic croque monsieur. It's classic because it was a specialty of her Grandmother Lila when the kids would go to her house for lunch. Dinner woke her up but Julia was still too full for dessert. So we took it home.
I never played basketball with Julia. I wasn't even aware she had game. Here she is, abaya and all, dribbling and putting in a lay-up. It was pretty hot and she did this just once just to show me a thing about her skill. Neat!
IMC, The Tour
I took Julia on a tour of the hospital. Ordinarily, it's not a big deal to show your daughter where you work. I did a lot of 'take your daughter to work' days with her. But the architecture is pretty stunning. So once again I got this fortuitous shot of her LCD as she lined up her shot. One thing that they do a lot is to make elaborate displays for new babies. The balloons are draped around the doorframes. Here's what you see before it's installed.
I can't quite describe this confection. It's a glazed roll, but more like a cream puff. The center is laden with melted butter at its bottom. The glaze bakes on and provides a sweet crisp topping. I found them quite delightful. Julia found them heavy and too much for an afternoon snack. All I can say is they are really the best right out of the oven. I'll see if David enjoys this when he visits. It's not something that I have come across in New York.
This is the term used to describe looking at your camera LCD to judge the last photo you took. This shot was purely fortuitous. I happened to get the LCD screen as Julia was lining up her shot. If you tried to do this you would miss nine out of ten times. Hey, I got lucky. Underwater, you don't really get to use the viewfinder, and the LCD at best is just an estimate. You really let the camera do the hard stuff, focus and exposure.
Coral Tunnel
Julia and I were taken by Capt Omar (instructor) to his secret dive spot. It's less than one hundred yards from the dock, but it's not at all obvious. His co-instructor, Shamia, has yet to find it. So much for sharing… It was spectacular, but I'm still trying to get a great shot. We were there every time we dove and Julia even missed it as we swam through because it's not so obvious. What it amounts to is a tunnel in the reef coral, that is beautiful to swim through. From one direction (as in these shots) it's great and from the other side it's nothing special. So that's why Shamia is mad at Omar.For once, even Julia didn't realize we were swimming through the tunnel when we approached from the wrong end.
Stonefish – Two!
We, Julia and I, were on our own, having passed the confidence test of the instructor, Shamia, and were swimming along, when a professional photographer beckoned and pointed out the presence of the larger stonefish (above). It's not easy to notice because it blends in so well. I called Julia's attention and we had a ball taking photos. The professional had completed his shoot. He had a serious DSLR and housing with high-end flash (big bucks). Julia to her credit was aware of everything around and motioned to me to look at another rock. It was another smaller stonefish. I wanted to ask someone if it was male and female, but underwater, questions are hard to put. Hey! I don't see one (stonefish) before and then we see two in one dive.
Julia, Red Sea
Julia was visiting a few weeks ago. She actually learned to dive before I did. I've had more dives. She's better. When I say this, I mean she's got better buoyancy control and she's a better dive photographer. She didn't start off with an underwater camera, so she says that she had a lot of practice just floating and maintaining dive control. The kid can hover like no one's business.I got her an underwater housing for Christmas and she used it once before she arrived. No water leakage, that's the first test. Ah! What fathers can do to make their kids embarrassed. She's used to it though. So as a good sport and knowing that I was taking her diving in the Red Sea, she consented to let me shoot pictures. Me, I'm still all over the map with buoyancy. So I adjusted weights and by the second day could drop like a stone and with a little help from my BCD could hover, somewhat. It's still a work in progress.
Camel Hunt
Julia visited recently. When I first came to Jeddah in December 2011, I passed a series of roadside vendors selling camel milk. Herds of a dozen or more camels were stretched out along the roadside. It's said that camel milk is healthy for you. Then they told me it's unpasteurized and can lead to interesting infectious disease. That quenched my desire to give it a try. Julia and I made three unsuccessful road trips to the area that I remembered. I even [and I never do] asked for directions. No! No luck. the best we could do is see some poor decrepit camels behind a cinder block wall. It was OK with Julia, she's ridden a camel in Africa. Me, I'll look again when David visits.
Oh, the camel? It's a silly Photoshop trick the kids taught me. Actually, they hold their hand up and pretend that the camel in the background is in the palm of their hand [perspective, not Photoshop]. I just took a camel on the other side of the wall and cloned it on her palm. After all her pose was all set up for me [except for the camel].
I put together this landscape. It's interesting enough to me because the main element is my family in lower right. We had stopped by this pond/lake and there were hippos in the water. It was a non-event. The hippos were just noses barely poking out from the surface. You don't go close to hippos. They will kill you. They have skulls in which there are teeth that look like they were derived from a saber-toothed tiger. I didn't know they were so dangerous. But they never let us get near.
Rest Period
We arrived in Zanzibar and my daughter flopped onto the bed to read the guidebook and plot our next move. We were in Stone Town in a neighborhood where we had to abandon our vehicle and walk in among narrow alleys to reach our hotel. It made her a little nervous. Ok, so I was too. But as I have often said, window lighting is like a soft box. You can really get some nice images.
West Virginia
We moved to Elkins, West Virginia when I was six and left when I was about fourteen. I haven't returned and all connections to my childhood there were severed when we moved away. I can google the place and look at google earth now. What I saw was that the neighborhood expanded and is now all developed with new/old homes for as far as the eye can see. My mother eventually had this custom house built on a brand new block. It was two years after we arrived. Custom designed by her, it was a three bedroom brick house with one car garage and a hip roof. In retrospect it should have had a two car garage. Otherwise it was in a new development area with all new families that had young kids. It was a pretty good place to grow up. And it wasn't. I fondly remember a girl who lived next door named Anne. She 'doesn't do reunions.' So, when I finally was able to track her down in the internet/google age, she emailed me once and went silent everafter. Here are the three boys, Victor, John, Eric, about 10, 5, and 1.
Container Gardening
I tend to do things in enthusiastic excess. For a while I was really consumed with container gardening. I suppose it was good for my blood pressure. There's a certain zen state that you enter as you water the plants every day. I could have gotten an automatic watering system but that wouldn't have been as much fun. Lately it's mostly weeds that take up in the containers. Maybe I'll get back to it one day.
Another cousin shot, it seems when Bryant moved to California the group shots got much more rare now. We get one now and again, but they are few and far between. Who knew when I took this shot, how infrequent the gatherings would become?
I don't know how Steven ended up in this dress. But he seemed to be having a great time. Me, I'm just the shooter. I haven't seen him in a dress since this picture. He just made Eagle Scout. Congratulations, Stevie.
From this shot I understand how they make models from young girls. Julia could look way more sophisticated. Someone once tried to convince us to get the kids into modeling. But in the end the kids had a much more normal life and we stayed away from chasing a more risky lifestyle. They did do an ad campaign for my cousin Amy as adults. That was fun.
Boogie boards and big smiles go together. David and his buddy Josh remain close friends to this day. It's nice to look back and see the origins of this fast friendship. All in all I have to say that they had a great childhood. It's everything that you want for your kids as a Dad.
My wife is camera shy so I don't include her too much in this blog. But she really did like hugging the kids for as long as they let her. Once in a while I got a shot that should not be a problem here. Just because there aren't too many shots doesn't mean there wasn't a whole lot of hugging going on.
Life Vests
I looked at these shots and wondered at how casual we were at the time. Put them in a life jacket and off you go into the pool. I guess it helped that the kids and my brothers were all swimmers. No one ever fell in and obviously no one drowned. But it seems that it was a dumb Dad thing to stack rafts three high and throw a kid in a life vest on top.
The Only Girl
As it turned out my two brothers had sons which left my daughter as the only girl on my family's side. She never seemed to mind. But then she was the oldest of the cousins on this side. On the other side, she was the youngest of the three girl cousins. Well there were more cousins but I'm just counting the immediate ones that we saw about twice a year. I'm still trying to get a few once removed.

First Organic Sparkling Waters
Las Vegas, Nevada-based Organica unveils Totally Organica, which the company claims is the first flavored sparkling waters certified USDA organic.
These beverages begin with pristine artesian water that flows from a spring directly into the company's plant in the Au Sable National Forest near the U.S. and Canadian border. Then they are infused with certified organic essences. They contain zero sugars, carbs, sodium and calories and have no artificial flavorings, sweeteners or color.
Totally Organica is available in eight flavors: lemon lime, cranberry, berry, green apple, raspberry, pomegranate, melon and mint.
They're a good beverage for diabetics, as well as a zero-calorie option for anyone who won't drink plain water but will sip drinks with fruit juice, syrups and other calorie-laden flavors. And for those who want to start their New Year's weight-loss resolutions a few hours early, they can replace carb-heavy alcohols and especially flavored cocktails on New Year's Eve.
Suggested retail price is $1.29-1.69.

Well worth the Stainless steel and dual | |
by: | Doc (02-21-2013) Chesterfield, Missouri |
Comments: | Well worth the upcharge for the stainless steel front and the dual faucet. Installation was easy, but be sure to use the back flow valves (silicone rubber thingies)... I though they were packing material and threw them out... had to order replacements. I bought a indoor/outdoor thermometer to monitor temperature in the unit... works well, easy installation. I chose to mount the CO2 cylinder externally (easy to drill hole in the back of the unit). I also bought a honeywell thermostat that overrides the Haier thermostat that had too much variation. With the temperature monitor and the new thermostat the unit is holding at 38 degrees +/- 3 degrees, which is very good. Beverage Factory is great on not only price, but the packaging is superb, and shipping is fast. I needed to call customer service regarding the back flow valves and they were very helpful in securing replacements. All in all a very good shopping experience. |
Bottom Line: | I would recommend this product. |
Great Kegerator/Great Experience | |
by: | Mike (02-02-2012) Oak Harbor |
Comments: | All around a great product was easy to put together and have had it running with a cup of water inside (homebrewer and don't have one ready to go yet) and the temp is sitting at 38. Had a washer missing for co2 tank emailed Beverage Factory and within a day they had sent out a new one for me. Product was well packaged and delivered quickly to my house. |
Bottom Line: | I would recommend this product. |
Great kegerator.....great price. | |
by: | Cold_Brew (01-02-2012) Temecula, CA |
Comments: | My wife purchased this for my 40th b-day. I love it. Very easy to set-up. I have not had any issues with this product. Can't wait to chill my brews in it. |
Bottom Line: | I would recommend this product. |
Very nice | |
by: | homebrewer in Lake Villa (11-20-2011) Lake Villa IL. |
Comments: | product came very quickly and was packaged nicely have 2 kegs going now and it works wonderfully. Assembly was pretty easy , read a review down the list that had some very nice advise to help in assembly |
Bottom Line: | I would recommend this product. |
Love it | |
by: | Sdboltsfan (09-21-2010) San Diego |
Comments: | I really can't be much happier with this product. There are however a couple things I will note. Make sure you know what beers you want the most often before purchasing the additional coupler. I purchased the import coupler without thinking about it and ended up returning it for another domestic. There are a ton of great beers that use the american standard coupler, like Bear Valley's Racer 5! I also wanted to have one lite and one premium beer on hand. Most domestic's don't carry a 5 gallon keg of lite but I got lucky because Miller lite has a pony that is not the normal size and is just a little wider and taller, but fits next to a 5 gallon. The money you save over bottles or cans isen't huge but the taste is. |
Bottom Line: | I would recommend this product. |

I found this hotel was made in 1970s 1) The rooms furniture is covered in dust and mildew. 2) The beds are very much old and lumpy 3) The staff aren't willing to help, even for directions. 4) The driveway is completely cracked and there NO PARKING In the end if you need a place to stay, DON'T STAY here.
