The present invention relates to a new back saddle.
A "back saddle" as used herein is a device which is attached to the waist of a person and which contains a back bag, a container at the rear of the back saddle in which a hiker, skier or other user may conveniently transport small items. The back saddle is secured to the waistline of a user through belt means attached to the sides of the back bag and which themselves are closed together through locking means positioned at one end of each of the belt sections. The back saddle is preferably made of a flexible material such as a plastic which is weather resistant. The back bag is a curved pouch following the countour of the wearer's backside, and is generally opened through a zipper which runs the entire width of the back bag.
Such "back saddles" have been extremely popular in the Alps and in Bavaria are well known as the Wimmerl, a standard item for hiking enthusiasts and skiers. Another traditional item of the hiker and skier is the knapsack. In the past, a hiker or skier has chosen a rucksack when he wishes to transport a change of clothes. Where he does not need the large capacity of a rucksack, but only needs a small volume to transport items such as gloves, small change for refreshments at the mountaintop, and other minor items, a Wimmerl, or back saddle, has been preferred. Because of the extreme bulkiness of a knapsack, one who chooses a Wimmerl will not take along an empty rucksack, and is faced with not having adequate storage for sweaters or coats when the weather suddenly turns warm or for gathering items collected in the forest, such as mushrooms, plant specimens and the like. Thus, one of the drawbacks of the Wimmerl is that the small amount of space precludes the possibility of conveniently storing clothes shed due to weather conditions or gathering items from the forest.
The rucksack of course is one alternative to the Wimmerl. However, when it is unlikely that the large volume of the rucksack will be needed for an afternoon's skiing or hiking, the Wimmerl has generally been chosen due to the greater freedom of movement which the Wimmerl gives the wearer. Thus, the likelihood of needing a larger volume provided by the rucksack is forsaken for the convenience of the Wimmerl. Thus it is often the case that skiers making long trips who would like the larger capacity of the knapsack choose the Wimmerl because of its greater freedom of movement. This particularly creates a problem for family outings because children often wish to shed outer clothing or wish to collect items from the forest, but are unwilling to carry them. Here, the user of the Wimmerl is unable to fit such bulky items into his small carrying back bag and the parent is faced with carrying the child's objects.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide the user of the Wimmmerl with knapsack opportunities without adding to the inconvenience of the user of the Wimmerl when the knapsack capability is not needed.
A back saddle is provided having a back bag member worn at the rear of the waist of a person and a knapsack attached to said back saddle. The knapsack is fixed to the body of the person through shoulder belts.
The invention is illustrated by the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a back saddle including a knapsack folded into the top of the back saddle and enclosed in a closed member;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the saddle according to FIG. 1 with the knapsack in its opened form;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view along line III--III in FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a sectional view along line IV--IV in FIG. 1.
It is proposed according to the invention with respect to a back saddle of the known type that a knapsack is attached to the back bag and provided with carrying straps that can be put over each shoulder of the person and that can be fitted detachable to the back saddle or the belt with adjusting means provided at its ends. Thus, the employer of such a saddle always has a knapsack available in addition to the back bag, if needed, the knapsack having a much larger volume of capacity than the saddle.
It is advantageous to connect the knapsack fixedly to the back saddle, foldable and fixed onto the saddle in its folded condition. The knapsack can thereby be folded when it is no longer needed and placed on the back saddle. In particular, when thin but long-wearing materials are used for the knapsack, this knapsack is very light and thus increases the weight of the saddle only immaterially.
It is an especially material-saving embodiment when the top side of the saddle forms simultaneously the bottom portion of the knapsack and when the container for receiving the folded portion of the knapsack is formed of two top flaps and the top side of the bag forming simultaneously the bottom of the portion of the knapsack, the top flaps being foldable over the folded portion of the knapsack and can be connected with each other by suitable locking means.
The back saddle 1 consists essentially of a back bag 3 of preferably flexible material, that can be put around the waist of a person by means of belt sections 2 attached to said back saddle, and comprising a pouch closable with a zipper 15. This back bag 3 serves for receiving small objects, provisions or other utensils taken along by a person typically on a mountain hike and is put against the back of the person while the belt sections 2 adjusted to the back bag fasten the waist so that the saddle 1 can be put tightly around the waist of the person. The one end of the belt section 2 comprises additionally as locking means a buckle 13 for taking up the end of the other belt section. A knapsack portion 4 is adjusted to the back bag 3 of the saddle 1, which knapsack portion can be put over the shoulders of the person with shoulder straps 5 and can be fastened with the ends of the straps to the bag 3 in eyelets 14 by means of clippers 6. This knapsack portion 4 is preferably formed of a material such as a light nylon to provide a light weight. The knapsack portion 4 is formed to be foldable together and connected with the back bag 3 preferably in a cooperative manner. In the illustrative embodiment shown the knapsack portion 4 is enclosed on the top side 7 of the bag 3 and simultaneously enclosed in its folded condition 4a in a lockable container at the top side 7 of the back bag 3. It is suitable when the top 7 of the bag forms simultaneously the bottom of the knapsack portion 4 (cf. FIG. 3), while the container for receiving the folded knapsack portion 4a is formed of two flaps 8, 9 attached to the top side 7 of the bag 3, foldable over the folded knapsack portion 4a and connectable with each other with a zipper 10. In the embodiment of the saddle 1 as shown the zipper 10 is adjustable at its two ends with press buttons 11, 12 to the bag 3. It is thereby achieved that the folded knapsack portion 4a can be stored away in a particularly compact manner at the back saddle 1.
A particular advantage of the back saddle according to the invention is that in view of the embodiment of the top 7 of the bag as a bottom for the knapsack portion 4, the back bag 3 may always be used independent of the folded or unfolded condition of the knapsack portion 4. When needed, the folded knapsack portion 4 stored away in the container of the back bag 3 is unfolded in a facile manner and put over the shoulders by means of the carrying straps 5 and hooked to the back bag 3 with the carrying strap ends 6. When the saddle 1 according to the invention is used in such a manner there is the possibility in view of the great capacity of the knapsack portion 4 relative to the actual back bag 3, e.g., to store away clothing that has become superflous during wandering or to carrying objects that have been found unexpectedly during a trip. When the belt 2 is fastened tightly, the saddle 1 comprising the unfolded knapsack portion 4 is especially well adjusted, for example, also when the person using it is skiing downhill. For closing the knapsack portion there is applied a zipper in a manner known per se, a cording that can be knotted and/or the top flap of a knapsack. These parts are well known and are not described in detail. It is also possible to adjust the shoulder straps 5 of the knapsack portion in their length in a known manner.
Within the scope of the invention it is also possible to shape the knapsack portion 4 additionally or by itself as a back carrying seat for children. In this case there is provided a seat bottom optionally adjustable in the knapsack portion 4 in a manner well known. Moreover, openings are provided in the side parts of the knapsack for putting through the children's legs. The arrangement of these openings depend on the direction in which the child to be carried is sitting. This possible embodiment of the saddle according to the invention is not shown in the drawings.

Fall Darts 2016By · Comments
It's that time of year again. After taking a pair of seasons off last year, darts are back in the air again this Fall! We have 16 names on the sign up list so far, with room for 4 more – so if you are interested in some Tuesday Night dart action stop by and sign the sheet!
Games begin the Tuesday AFTER the Bloomsbury Fair!
Don't believe everythingBy · Comments
you see on the internet. Abraham Lincoln said that.
This DID happen to me one time when a fellow who "wasn't from around here" came into the bar and had to run outside to his car to grab something. When he came back, his drink was poured out, and the glass was being washed – to his surprise.
If you put a coaster on top of your glass in the coal region, it means "I'm done drinking, don't pour any more beer into the glass". And remember, "when in Rome …", so while in the coal region, don't take this the advice from the inter webs poster
PA State Dart Tournament FinalsBy · Comments
The FINALS are coming up this weekend.
We sent two teams to qualify over the past two weeks, and both advanced through some very difficult competition!!
Congrats to Mike Sinkovich, Timmy Wargo and Joe Zaharick who teamed up for the tournament. They had to make it through the team of John Kroh, Mark Kroh and Todd Harder to advance. They did just that with some 9th inning heroics that led to an extra inning victory where Sinko hit a trip on his last dart to seal the win.
We didn't have a dart league this year, and these guys made it to the bar on Tuesday nights when they could. They decided to go up together just to compete. Joe is a traveling dart shooter. Sinko and Timmy learned to win on the Red Tornadoes. Put that together and they were able to leave their mark on the tournament. They continue the journey this Saturday!
The second team to compete from Dorko's was Joe Swatski, Doug Troutman, and Bruce Unverdorben Jr. In order to advance, they had to compete with Haganey's Aces II. That team consists of Tommy Hill (2006 inductee into the American Baseball Darts Wall of Fame), Joe Haganey (2011 inductee) and Mark Weurstle (2013 inductee).
I wonder if that's what Murderer's Row from the '27 Yankees looked like?
It didn't matter. Doug, Swat and Bruce sent them into the loser's bracket!
It was a tough road for both teams so far. They start off in the One Loss bracket on Saturday, and things won't be getting any easier.
So, we're making a road trip up this weekend to support the fellows in Freeland. The event is kicks off at 10am at the Freeland Event Center (300 Fern St, Freeland, PA 18224).

The first weekend in FebruaryBy · Comments

FRIDAY NIGHT – Mr. Trent Knoll is in the house performing live for us from 10pm – 1am. We haven't seen him since June, and we're happy he's back!
SATURDAY NIGHT – Mardi Gras Celebration!! That's right, we're heading towards Fat Tuesday, and kicking it off on the weekend with DJ BIG DADDY!!
Miller Lite NightBy · Comments
That's a picture of Team Miller Lite – the people who cause the well to run dry on this date, in 2012. Since then, we've been having Miller Lite night in memory of that historic event. So tonight, from 8 til 10, Miller Lite Cans and Bottles are $1 each. Come on out, and celebrate history!
Tonight's Rock and RollBy · Comments
Nick Coyle was scheduled to come in tonight and rock the house, but the flu has gotten the better of him. Tonight we'll have to party on without him while he recuperates. He'll see us again next month, on the 19th!!
Flyers Trip Sat. February 13thBy · Comments
vs the NJ Devils with a 1pm puck drop. That's what's on the schedule as far as winter get-aways.
There will be a sign up sheet at the bar.
Here's the breakdown . . .
Devils fans WILL be allowed on the bus. Rude behavior and language directed towards them based solely on their support of the enemy will not be tolerated on the bus. But, once we get there and they "debus", they're on their own.
Just kidding!!
The Costs: $30 bus fare, leaving from Dorko's and returning to Dorko's (that's the corner of Fourth and Poplar, Mt. Carmel, PA 17851). We're looking at 9 o'clock departure so we can get there, and have some time to grab a program and a beer/pretzel before face-off. We should even have a chance to peek in on warm-ups.
The Beer: Bring your own, that was everyone has a chance to ensure that their libations will be of a flavor and quantity that is to their liking
The Tickets: I called a Flyers rep, and they pretty much stated the obvious – Finding 30 tickets together for an afternoon game against a local rival just isn't going to happen. And unless we're ordering 30 seats, it's not "Group Tickets" anymore. So, I inspected the inventory at the StubHubs and they said there are over 1,800 tickets floating around waiting to be claimed.
There are also seats to be had from the Flyers themselves.
Everyone is responsible for their own ticket – the upside of which is that you get to choose if you want to be up against the glass, in a luxury box, or simply in the building.
Cindy said she'd like to see you there, so Sign UP, find a buddy and have him grab a couple of tickets off of stubHub or through the Flyers, and make a day of it!
And tell the wife that your viewing enjoyment will be THESE Guys playing the Hockeys for you . . . .

Impressive performance yesterday. Hopefully Eddie Hearn will keep him active. Not sure what their strategy will be though. Neither he nor Macklin a huge draw so a bout between them is off the cards for now.
Maybe they can use him for Chavez Jnr's comeback bout although I'm not sure how much longer Jnr will be at middleweight.

I think Macklin is close too a shot at Chavez.Id like too see Barker and Lee fight both careers at similar stages and with Andy now with Booth in London it could be made in England

He looked great lastnight, I'm happy for him. I think he'll have one more fight before they try and math him in against Geale or Quillin for a title shot.

I like Barker but a lot now depends on whether or not he can stay fit.
I'd like to see him against Lee or Macklin.

Why Is Paul Krugman Still Calling for Fiscal Stimulus?
Benn Steil's latest op-ed in The Weekly Standard examines Paul Krugman's continuing calls for fiscal stimulus, as well as his defense of government wage intervention and mercantilism. These have all been grounded in the assertion that the United States is in a "liquidity trap," in which monetary policy is ineffective. Steil explains why the theory of liquidity traps is logically inapplicable when the central bank's policy rate is positive, as it has been in the United States since December, and concludes that it operates as a fig leaf behind which to advocate policies with less scientific rationales.

EP0038/49K Ophthalmic Glasses
EP0038 is a fashion statement, for which sunshine is not necessarily required, because these sunglasses enhance your natural radiance turning night into day. The EP0038 is brand new on the market in 2016, with this eyewear you are at the cutting-edge of trends. The EP0038 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Emilio Pucci collections 2015 and 2016.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. round eyeglasses are extremely prestigious. A fact John Lennon was aware of, being rarely seen without them. Harry Potter would also not be the same without his characteristic eyeglasses. Due to its shape the EP0038 will be a long-time companion, because round eyeglasses never really go out of fashion. The metal frame is very light and comfortable to wear. It is both robust and classy. Brown is currently a trend colour and also an absolute timeless classic. The colour provides a nice contrast ratio between the skin and the colour of the eyeglass frame. Thus, the transition from eyeglasses to the face is harmonious and unobtrusive. Brown is the dominant colour for sunglass lenses. They radiate warmth and look very soft. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Emilio Pucci back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. In our online shop we have consistently low prices. You won't get EP0038 at such a low price, not even in the sale.

Men Go to Battle
August 19, 2016 | by Benjamin Nugent
A small-budget film dramatizes the passive motives of Civil War enlistees.
The following are reasons that Henry Mellon, the protagonist of the film Men Go to Battle, volunteers to leave his home and fight for the Union in the Civil War: his brother, Francis, has thrown an ax at him in a spirit of fun; one of his mules has run into the woods; the local rich girl has spurned his advances; his arable land is choked with weeds; Francis is taller and more confident than he is; a rainstorm has drowned six of his chickens.
The following are not evident reasons for his enlistment: patriotism, abolitionism. Henry can neither read nor write, and he shows no interest in the world beyond his town, Small's Corner, Kentucky. The rich girl he likes is waited on by enslaved maids.
He slips off to the army on a winter night. Weeks later, he composes a letter home, dictating to a literate comrade: "I have all the beef and salted pork I want." Read More »
Destroy Writer's Block with the Nuclear Option, and Other News
March 15, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Anita Brookner, the author of Hotel du Lac, has died at eighty-seven. Brookner, who was born in London, gave an Art of Fiction interview in our Fall 1987 issue. "The truth I'm trying to convey is not a startling one, it is simply a peeling away of affectation," she said then. "I use whatever gift I have to get behind the facade. But I hope I am not an aggressive writer, and that I see through people with compassion and humor … It was the need for order in my own life that made me start. And once the floodgates are open, you must go all the way." "Her novels are beautifully written—her sentence structure is pure pleasure," her publisher Juliet Annan told the BBC this week. "But I think what people miss is that her novels are some of the most shocking of the twentieth century, for underneath the veneer of novels plots about women failing to marry, failing to see the venal in those around them, failing to make successful lives. She wrote about the biggest fears we have: loneliness and death."
- Today in productivity by any means necessary: The Most Dangerous Writing App (that's its real name) will rid you of writer's block with one simple measure—it forces you to keep going. Stop typing for more than five seconds and it will delete all your work. This promotional piece was written using it: "The interface is a clean, no-nonsense text editor. You'll find nothing in the way of formatting tools; if it wasn't already abundantly clear, the app is purpose-built for writing and writing only. It allows for plenty of backspacing and typo-correcting, both of which can be useful for procrastinating in micro-doses, but I mostly felt compelled to write. Somewhere towards the tail end of my five minutes (you can choose to write nonstop for five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty-five, or sixty minutes, if you're a masochist) the pressure starts to set in, and I'm really rambling."
- Or you could just follow the advice of the psychologists Jerome Singer and Michael Barrios, who advocate a strict regime of vivid imagery—basically, winging it. In the seventies and eighties, they staged an intervention for blocked writers: "exercises in directed mental imagery. While some of the blocked writers met in groups to discuss their difficulties, Barrios and Singer asked others to participate in a systematic protocol designed to walk them through the production of colorful mental images. These writers would sit in a dim, quiet room and contemplate a series of ten prompts asking them to produce and then describe dreamlike creations. They might, for example, 'visualize' a piece of music, or a specific setting in nature … Writers who'd participated in the intervention improved their ability to get writing done and found themselves more motivated and self-confident."
- Once you get over your writer's block, you'll have to deal with the old show-don't-tell mantra, which remains the most divisive product of M.F.A. culture. As Benjamin Markowits writes, it's both good and bad advice: "Not many writers are good at telling—their explanations are not always that interesting. George Eliot does good explanation. Philip Roth does good explanation. But good explanation is hard to teach: it involves having a sophisticated worldview and finding the moments when that worldview has something specific to say, about psychology, or economics, or the weather. It's easier to say to a student: let's cut all that out, stick to the facts, tweak the sequence of events to make it more plausible, prune the dialogue and leave out all the inner thought stuff, which gives the game away, delay the moment of drama, tone it down a little, too, and let's keep a lid on the hero's motivations, so we don't know whether to trust her or not. And at the end of a series of ruthless edits and workshops you have a tight, vivid, suggestive, fine piece of work. You Gordon Lish it."
- During the Civil War, Walt Whitman volunteered at hospitals, writing letters home from soldiers who were illiterate or too ill to do so themselves. One of those letters has just been found: "I am mustered out of service, but am not at present well enough to come home. I hope you will try to write back as soon as you receive this + let me know how you all are, how things are going on – let me know how it is with mother. I write this by means of a friend who is now sitting by my side + I hope it will be God's will that we shall yet meet again. Well I send you all my love + must now close." (The soldier, Nelson Jabo, died before he made it back home.)
The Ants of God
January 21, 2015 | by Terese Svoboda
The budding South Sudanese community in Omaha, Nebraska.
More than a hundred years ago, my relatives emigrated from Czechoslovakia to Nebraska, thus escaping the privilege of becoming fodder for the aristocracy's canons. Why Nebraska? The railroad advertising pictured illustrations of the thick loam of the prairie, calculated to resemble their homeland's. The land was theirs for free if they worked extremely hard on it for five years, and many did, and prospered.
This century, the Nuer from South Sudan have immigrated to the same region, but they aren't so fortunate. Having escaped one of the world's worst war zones, endured extremely harsh conditions in refugee camps, and traveled eight thousand miles to resettle, the Nuer face poor Nebraska neighborhoods policed by gangs like the Bloods and the Crips.
The Nuer fled fighting in a very remote area in South Sudan, much of it accessible only by boat or on foot. I know. I walked into the region thirty-five years ago, lugging in heavy sound equipment to make a sequel to The Nuer, the highest grossing ethnographic film of the time. The original, from 1971, was extremely beautiful, shot by Hilary Harris, Robert Gardner, and George Breidenbach. It documented the traditional Nuer lifestyle as depicted by E. E. Evans-Pritchard, the British academic who founded the discipline of social anthropology on a study of their culture. The sequel to it was never finished, but I translated and published Cleaned the Crocodile's Teeth, a selection of their songs, their most complex art form.
Never would I have imagined that people from so far away would move within a hundred miles of my birthplace in Ogallala, Nebraska. So many resettled in the state that it now has the world's largest population of Nuer outside South Sudan. Had I impressed them with talk of a landscape similar to their own, the way the broadsides had lured my relatives? It couldn't be—all I'd had to do was mention snow to the Africans and their enthusiasm waned. Originally, resettlement agencies sent the Nuer to rural Minnesota, Virginia, Arizona, California, and upstate New York. They had to establish themselves quickly: all our government gave them was a loan for the plane ticket from Africa, less than three hundred dollars cash, and food stamps. They had to start paying back the loans within six months—a tall order when you're traumatized by war, not yet fluent in English, and largely unaware of American customs. Through informal cell phone networking, the Nuer converged on Nebraska. Cheap housing attracted them—and openings in the meatpacking industry, that mainstay of immigrant labor. In many Nuer families, both spouses work two shifts. The slaughterhouse was a psychologically difficult workplace, as they had just fled a war that had more civilian casualties than World War II. The slaughterhouse worker I spoke to was bothered by the screams of the half-dead cattle while their hides were ripped off with hooks. You are supposed to wait until the eyes tell you what to do, he said. Read More »

There's a new iteration of Annie opening this year, starring Quvenzhané Wallis as the plucky eponymous orphan. You've probably seen the 1982 movie; maybe you've caught one of the musical's many revivals. And most everybody knows that the musical itself was adapted from a popular and long-running comic strip. But did you know that all those were based, in turn, on the 1885 poem "Little Orphant Annie?" Or that James Whitcomb Riley wrote the poem about a real-life orphan, Allie? And that it's creepy and scary? Well, now you do!
Mary Alice "Allie" Smith was an Indiana neighbor of the Riley family. When her father was killed in the Civil War, twelve-year-old Allie—the name change was a typographical error—came to live with the Rileys; the future poet was a child himself. Allie apparently entertained the other children of an evening with scary stories that made a huge impression on young James. The poem, which is made up of Allie's cautionary stories, was one of his most popular, and a major part of his well-attended speaking tours. Well, it was the Victorian era. Read More »
On Homesickness
November 2, 2011 | by Francesca Mari
A few weeks ago I found myself accidentally enacting the drama of a book I was reading. The book was Homesickness: An American History, and I was reading it on the subway, somewhat embarrassed by the title, which, held up right in front of my face, was like a sign saying: Here in New York, I can't cut it. I comforted myself with the idea that I was only a few stops from home, where I could read safe from potential pity. But when I got to my door, I discovered that I'd locked myself out.
I looked up at my windows. I wished I could use the bathroom, foreign bathrooms costing at least a coffee. But it struck me that I didn't long to be in my apartment. My place, with its card table in the kitchen and mattress on the floor, is unsettled—I would feel as dislocated inside of it as out. I can't imagine what feeling settled here would look like; the only settled place I'm familiar with is the home where I grew up.
How long does it take to cultivate the feeling of home? I've been in New York for three years, on the East Coast for eight, and I've never suffered from acute homesickness. But still, when I'm called to define "home," I think of El Granada, a town of 5,436 that staked itself twenty-six miles south of San Francisco down the coast. I mean staked quite literally: between 1906 and 1909, Ocean Shore Railway, which was building tracks from Santa Cruz to San Francisco along what is now Highway 1, planted thousands of fast-growing, blue gum eucalyptuses with the hopes of flipping El Granada into a seaside resort for train-traveling San Franciscans. The railroad company also commissioned the eminent architect and city planner Daniel Burnham (famous for the Flatiron building) to plan the streets. They go in two directions, up the hills and around them, so that it looks from above as if a four-square-mile spider web has been draped over the thousands of trees. But the dream of El Granada was not to be. Two years later the railway company collapsed. The tracks were abandoned. Some speculators bought land, but the place never really caught on until computers did in the late eighties and nineties, and intrepid commuters from Silicon Valley bought BMWs and began building houses.

Here with the Windies
June 21, 2011 | by Rachael Maddux
Margaret Mitchell was on her way to see a movie when she was struck by an off-duty cabbie driving too fast down Peachtree Street one night in Atlanta in 1949. Her death five days later cemented certain facts of her life, most notably that her first novel would also be her last. But she had made the most of her debut: in its nearly 1,500 pages, Gone with the Wind captured the romance and demise of America's Old South like none other before or since, sold one million copies within six months of its publication, secured a Pulitzer Prize for literature in 1937, and inspired one of the most beloved motion pictures of all time.
Little was said about Mitchell's death one recent evening in Atlanta, when several dozen of her fans—Windies, as they like to be called—gathered for a tour and graveside toast at the historic Oakland Cemetery, where Mitchell is buried and where her plot is among the most visited. The soiree was one of many held in and around the city this month in honor of Gone with the Wind's seventy-fifth anniversary. The crowd was almost entirely female; Gone with the Wind handbags abounded, and at least one wristwatch bore the iconic image of Rhett and Scarlett's smoldering onscreen embrace. Though most wore street clothes, some ladies had arrived in 1860s-ish period dress, their dedication eclipsing both the melting late-afternoon heat and the outfits' flagrant anachronisms—clip-on chignons, hemlines revealing reputation-shattering amounts of ankle, synthetic fabrics not invented in Mitchell's lifetime.
Until recently, I was only vaguely acquainted with Scarlett O'Hara. I was raised in Tennessee by multigenerational Southerners and grew up visiting Civil War battlefields on field trips and family vacations. I went to college in Atlanta—Mitchell's hometown and the setting for most of her opus—and have lived here ever since. But my knowledge of Gone with the Wind was only sufficient enough to know that Rhett Butler's most famous line from the movie perfectly summed up my sentiments regarding the whole franchise: frankly, my dear, I didn't give a damn.

Angry Birds Birthday Cake
My mom is an Angry Birds addict. I'm not sure if there are any Angry Birds competitions out there, but if my mom entered, she would surely win. She plays on her iPad, on the TV (through Roku), and if she knew that she could download it on her phone, she would probably play there as well.
What do you give the best mom ever on her birthday? An Angry Birds red velvet birthday cake, of course!
I missed her birthday last summer because I was off traveling in Greece. Terrible excuse, I know. To make up for it, I totally surprised her this year with this massive Angry Birds birthday cake. I usually ask her ahead of time what kind of cake/pie/baked good she wants for her birthday, but I was silent this year. I'm sure she knew something was up. Moms seem to have a sixth sense about these things. Anyway, she was super excited and all smiles when I finally unveiled the cake.
We had a little party yesterday to celebrate. Even Charlie was invited and included in all the festivities. You can also spot him lurking around in the back of the previous photo with my mom. He can be such a creeper, but his cuteness and adorable personality makes up for it.
It took me two afternoons to make this cake. I begin every cake project by sketching a draft of the cake. Then I make a list of all the fondant colors I will be using. For much larger cakes, like wedding cakes, I also set a timeline to keep myself on track and on pace. I like to use cake dummies and cake pans to visual the size and feel of the cake. Sometimes, a design may look gorgeous on paper but translates poorly once its on a three-dimensional cake. Doing a set up like one above helps me visualize the final product and feel more confident in the design.
I usually color my fondant two days before construction. I have learned that certain food gel colors do not play well with certain fondant brands. There are times when my freshly colored fondant mutates into a completely different color overnight. For this reason, coloring two days before gives me enough time to color more fondant (or buy new gel colors) if such things happen.
Decorating the outside of the cake is fun and all, but building the actual cake inside is what I look forward to the most. I find building and frosting cakes so relaxing. Some people play golf or go shopping to calm down, I frost cakes.
Everything on the cake is edible except for the string attached to the slingshot. All the exterior decorations are made with colored fondant.
I drew out the birds by hand and used a sharp knife to cut them out of fondant. I used water to glue the fondant pieces onto the cake and on to each other. To get the special design of the sling shot and wood panel pictured below, I used textured mats. As for the grass below the sling shot, I merely used scissors to cut the top portion of a band of fondant. The hardest part of this cake was making the birds, especially the small blue birds.
Happy, happy birthday MAMA!
You understand me more than I understand myself, sometimes. You are my best friend, my confidant, and the reason for my existence. Thank you for being my biggest fan (and reminding me everyday how proud and happy you are to have had me). If every one had their own cheerleader/life coach like you, the world would surely be a happier and calmer place.
I can't tell you enough how lucky I am to be your daughter. Everything that is good in my life comes from having a mother who has cared beyond what it ever expected of parents. For all the ways your love, wisdom, and laughter have made a difference in my life, I thank you and I love you more than you can ever imagine.

Skip to comments.Tea Party wins big in Texas runoff elections
Posted on 05/28/2014 8:45:38 AM PDT by SoConPubbie
Patrick, a fiery radio talk show host who founded the Tea Party caucus in the Texas state legislature, ousted Dewhurst after a campaign full of attack ads and mudslinging over which candidate was more conservative.
Perhaps one day we'll have a relatively calm, statesmanlike contest between an established candidate and a Tea Party insurgent. It would also be interesting if a few more of these races were run with something approaching financial parity. It's significant when a feisty upstart overcomes a five-to-one funding disadvantage to unseat an incumbent, but no so much when the candidate with the huge war chest stomps on the outsider, which is the more common outcome. A lot of this year's "faltering Tea Party defeated by Republican Establishment" headlines really should have read "candidate with more money wins primary election." Which is not necessarily a criticism of the candidate with more money – that's how politics works, and insurgent candidates must be realistic about their chances. It's also not foolish of primary voters to feel that the candidate with more money and endorsement muscle has a better chance in the general election, although that's not always how it works out.
The Texas Lt. Governor's race was exceptionally brutal:
The race hit a flashpoint in recent weeks when Patrick's private medical records were released to reporters. The records revealed Patrick had been treated for depression in the 1980s.
The medical history on Patrick, drawn from a criminal and civil court case, was released by Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, who finished fourth in the primary but later endorsed Dewhurst.
The records chronicle psychiatric hospital stays in 1982 and 1986 in which Patrick "needed sitters around the clock for being severely depressed." Patterson says the information was "not leaked, but in the public domain for 25 years."
Patterson claimed to not be working for the Dewhurst campaign, and Dewhurst's campaign asked him to stop the document dump. Patrick accused Dewhurst of lying about using Patterson as a surrogate, and then attempting to cover it up.
Releasing someone's private medical records in an underhanded effort to sabotage his campaign is repulsive, producing a backlash that contributed to Patrick's commanding 65-35 victory over Dewhurst – a bigger win than most polls were predicting in the final days of the race, and a stunning finish after his long-shot underdog status at the beginning of the campaign. Isn't dumping those records also, you know, illegal? Many of us simple folk out here in flyover country were under the impression that private medical records are private, at least until ObamaCare is fully up and running.
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram has some more details on the medical-records disclosure, and allegations that Dewhurst played a role in it:
The costly, heated battle became more inflamed in the weeks before the election when documents that showed Patrick had been hospitalized for depression in the 1980s were given to the media.
Patrick said he admitted himself but added that his emotional state is much better and that he hasnt needed treatment or medication in about 30 years. And he said that though the information was released by a former opponent, Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson, he believed that Dewhurst a millionaire businessman who found himself running an underdog campaign stooped to a new low.
Dewhursts campaign released a statement saying, My heart goes out to Dan and his family for what theyve endured while coping with his condition. Patterson said he released the information because he believed that all Texans needed to know about it. Patrick said Patterson inadvertently sent out an email stating that it was Dewhursts idea.
Days before the election, Patrick offered a $1,000 reward to anyone who could produce an audio copy of a telephone push poll being conducted against him. David Dewhurst wont be able to hide from this dirty trick, Patrick said. He has run a disgustingly negative, mean-spirited campaign.
The Texas Tribune has more about the medical-records controversy, including the text of the email from Patterson referred to by the Star-Telegram. It's not really water under the bridge yet, because the issue may well surface during Patrick's general-election campaign against Democrat candidate Leticia Van de Putte, currently a state senator from San Antonio. Patrick's critics contend that he wasn't completely honest in his official campaign biography about his treatment history, making a big deal about how it would damage him in the general election. Perhaps that will be a self-fulfilling prophecy, although for the moment it seems like the whole affair has only served to energize Patrick supporters. Lingering hard feelings over the finale of the long and bitter Republican primary could also influence how energetically the party rallies around Patrick in the general election. Dewhurst was notably slow to declare support for his victorious rival.
It's full steam ahead for Patrick, who riffed on the name of a Democrat political group in his statement to supporters: "This election means we're going into November with a very strong ticket, with candidates elected by the most conservative voter base in the nation, and a team that can articulate the issues the way Texans want them to be. The Democrats have chosen 'Battleground Texas,' and they've chosen the wrong battleground. Voters wanted a strong conservative policy in this state, and they've chosen bold conservative leaders to keep Texas moving ahead."
He also indulged in a bit of taunting: "If the Democrats think that they're going to bring Obama liberalism to Texas and win, they have a long, cold day in November ahead of them." According to the Dallas Morning News, Patrick declared his intention to campaign hard in the opposing party's strongholds: "Some Democrats have said they wanted me to be the nominee. Well, they've got me, and I'm coming."
For his part, most observers expect Dewhurst to call it a career, as the 68-year-old businessman poured $5 million of his own money into his second losing race against the Tea Party in Texas – the first having cost him $20 million to lose the Senate race in a haze of negative campaigning against another upstart underdog named Ted Cruz. Some campaign strategists in Texas really need to go back to the drawing board.
The Tea Party counted another big win in Texas by unseating 91-year-old incumbent Rep. Ralph Hall, the oldest sitting member of the House of Representatives. Hall and Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), who is retiring at the end of this congressional session, were the last two World War II veterans serving in Congress. Hall intended to make this his final term in Congress, if he won re-election.
Hall appears to have suffered from anti-incumbent sentiment, having actually won the largest share of the vote in last March's primary, but losing last night's runoff election by 4 points to challenger John Ratcliffe. The Tea Party lines in this contest were a bit more blurred, with Hall having recently received high praise for both his military and congressional service from Senator Cruz, and an endorsement from Michelle Bachmann. CBS News suggests Ratcliffe's more modernized turnout system bested Hall's old-fashioned street-level campaigning. There was a bit of unpleasantness over Hall's age, much of which involved the older incumbent tweaking his 48-year-old opponent for "running against my birth certificate" – something Ratcliffe insisted he wasn't doing.
You've got to love the blunt statement Hall made to supporters after losing to Ratcliffe, 52-48: "I just got whipped and got beat."
The Tea Party can also celebrate Ken Paxton winning the Republican nomination for Attorney General of Texas defeating State Rep. Dan Branch in the race to succeed current Attorney General Greg Abbott, who is running for governor. This was another of those bare-knuckle political brawls, as recalled by the Dallas Morning News, which endorsed Branch:
The candidates are racing in an arena filled with the Republican Partys most conservative and activist voters. That gives an advantage to Paxton, who sped to a first-place finish in the primary on the strength of his connections with the grass-roots element of the GOP.
Paxton won almost everywhere, including Branchs own Dallas County.
Since then, Branch has been pounding Paxton over various legal and ethical lapses, including the senators $1,000 fine from the State Securities Board for not registering as he solicited clients for a North Texas investment firm.
Branch, with his 30 years of legal experience, has also tried to compare his extensive resume with Paxtons, who has spent most of his legal career as an estate-planning lawyer.
In essence, the contest boils down to Branch, the attorney general candidate straight out of a casting call, or Paxton, the staunch conservative.
The tea party affiliation is enough in this election, even with the personal dealing to think about said Southern Methodist University political scientist Cal Jillson. The tea party voter says that, My guy, despite any limitations he might have, is better on his worse day than your guy on his best day.
There were also vague criticisms of Paxton's business dealings, which made hay out of the large number of investment positions he secured while serving in the legislature, without explicit allegations that any of them were unsavory. As the Dallas Morning News sees it, Paxton got through all this by running "one of the most closed campaigns in Texas politics… he's rarely been on the campaign trail or granted interviews, even as Branch pounded him over the securities issue."
Paxton went on to defeat Branch by 11 points in the initial primary, followed by an astounding 28 points in last night's runoff, with support from Sen. Cruz. KERA News has a sample of his victory speech:
Tonight Texans have made their voice heard loud and clear: They want an attorney general wholl defend our constitution and fight to restore the meaning of the 10th amendment so that states can govern free from oppressive intrusion from the federal government, Paxton said.
Paxton called himself the real conservative in the race, saying he wants Obamacare out of Texas, gun rights and religious freedoms protected, and the border secured.
Liberty, freedom, and Texas values are the real winners tonight. We are locked in a struggle for the future of our families and our country," Paxton said.
Paxton is now considered the favorite against Democrat Sam Jackson in the general election.
Just another typical Texas campaign.
. . . or Dewhurst could just move to Vermont.
They just DON'T get it.
There'd be no daylight between the Tea Party and the "established candidates" if those candidates would DO THE JOB they were elected to do.
Represent the people properly, with due diligence, oppose the other side properly, with due diligence, and push back with OUR agenda as hard and forcefully as the other side does.
It's NOT a real difficult equation to understand...
Glad you Texans are getting it right. God Bless Texas.
And then they will be available to practically any nosy bureaucrat.
Not in Texas. Politics is a full contact sport. At least no-one got shot or hanged in this election.
"For his part, most observers expect Dewhurst to call it a career,"
Capt. Kirk: "How is Dewhurst doing in sick bay?"
Bones: "He is not pining for the fjords, he is not resting, he is bereft of life, he is no more, he has shuffled off this mortal coil, he is F ing dead.
Capt. Kirk: "What!"
Bones: "He is dead Jim."
If the U.S. doesn't get its act together and demolish the unconstitutional portion, 80%+, of its federal government, a financially independent, free-market Republic of Texas looks better all the time. But they've got some work to do including cutting those high property taxes.
If Patrick gets rid of the 2/3rds rule, the Dems won't be able to block it in the Senate.
Someone from Texas may have to answer this:
Wasn't Dan Patrick a sports announcer on the local SeeBS affiliate, channel 11 in Houston? If he is the same guy, he was very colorful and entertaining. When he did baseball news he would holler "BOOM!" when a homerun was hit. ;-)

Texas needs to seriously consider becoming financially independent from the feds. If Texas saw the value of small government and big freedom with a robust free market economy, as I believe at least some in Texas understand, there's no limit to how far Texas could go. If Texas really took freedom seriously, socially, politically, and economically, it wouldn't be long before the feds would have to start borrowing from Texas. But Texas would need to think twice about lending to a downgraded borrower like the U.S.
But theyve got some work to do including cutting those high property taxes."
AMEN to that! Really getting aggravated. Since they can't raise the tax rates for those with a Homestead and over 65 exemption, they keep raising the assessed value. Legislature could stop all this nonsense but doubt if they will. And they certainly could do a refund of tax payments from their coffers but they'd rather pump more into the public school system. Not sure they will ever understand that more money has never resulted in better education for public school students.
So when does Patterson go to jail?
Sort of like when someone applies for a government job and the county registriar gets called and asked what party they are registered to?
We can start by trimming the bureaucracy
DallasMorning News endorsement = Kiss of Death
Ted Cruz endorsement = victory.
"Thered be no daylight between the Tea Party and the established candidates if those candidates would DO THE JOB they were elected to do."
But if there weren't a lot of daylight between them and us, they wouldn't be able to get big campaign contributions from lobbyists. That's how a conservative becomes a big-government crony capitalist.
Texas would produce corps of bright, well-educated children and young people who haven't been indoctrinated in socialism and might actually learn things like the Bible and the Christian roots of America and freedom. It would be up to the parents to decide via the voluntary supply and demand of the schooling market. Right now, homeschooling is the best if a family can do it, but the free market could greatly expand that effectiveness.
Same guy. Also was the station owner and started the EIB affiliate here in Houston.
"...Thats how a conservative becomes a big-government crony capitalist..."
Then they weren't Conservatives to begin with.
For the record, Dan Patrick supported David Dewhurst in that Senate campaign and was against Ted Cruz.
Dan can be a fairweather nannystater.
I wouldn't call Dan Patrick a "tea party" star.
So, what you're really suggesting is:
Works for me!
Don't bet on it. Keep an eye on him that he doesn't suddenly take a job working for the Dem challenger.
Keep an eye on what he does period. Because he isn't going away without a pound of flesh after 2 straight losses to the hated tea party.
Nope, he's certainly no conservative hero. The benefits to Patrick are that he doesn't have Dewhurst's democrat machine behind him, he's talked about getting rid of the 2/3ds rule, and he's talked about not appointing democrats as chairmen in the Senate.
If he actually does those things, he will have done good deeds. If he doesn't, he needs to go away next time.
Too many of them run as Conservatives, and for whatever reason, our side believes them without looking at their bona fides.
So we get squish when we need spine... ball-less wimps when we need testicular fortitude... collaborator Quislings when we need Pattons... Vichy France when we need Lafayette.
Shall I go on?
They think we're a bunch of rubes and suckers, that we'll support them regardless. Much in the same way the rodents use, abuse and play the Black vote. ("Who ya gonna vote for, Honkey Republicans ?") Time for both to wake up and overthrow these destructive frauds.
"...They think were a bunch of rubes and suckers, ..."
Some are. They DO get re-elected, after all.
We're stuck voting for the "vile" versus voting for the "evil"... but when you re-arrange the letters you still wind up with either or the other.
That's why they hate the Tea Party. It's a third option, for people on both sides. I still do believe there's some decent dems out there that are pissed off with their party being so hijacked by communist BS.
In our state legislature, I'm pretty sure some have started as conservatives—their campaign promises are sincere. Then over time, they get compromised a little bit at a time. Money, peer pressure, bad press for being conservative. It's really hard to stick to clear principles when everyone around you wants you to compromise.
Last session, a good friend of mine was often the only "No" vote on the first count in the entire state legislature on bills. He has stuck to his guns. But it's harder than you think.
"...Its really hard to stick to clear principles when everyone around you wants you to compromise..."
My friend, I have no doubt of the sincerity of your comment here.
But - it's called CHARACTER. Sticking to your principles, no matter what - is called character, as well as integrity, and honor.
Those are virtues that we should DEMAND of anyone we send to represent us. And they either live up to those, or they go the hell home and get a job.
"...a good friend of mine was often the only No vote on the first count in the entire state legislature on bills. He has stuck to his guns. But its harder than you think..."
Then he is to be commended, by all and every means, and you and your fellow constituents of his need to let him know in no uncertain terms that you appreciate his efforts, and that this what you expect of him.
You probably "stuck to your guns" every day. I do as well. If we can do it, so can elected officials. If they can't be trusted to uphold the laws we pass, if they can't be trusted to push the agenda we send to Congress to push, then they need to be removed.
We're in a war for the soul of this country, and some on "our" side don't seem to realize it.
When they do what they're supposed to do, we need to support them.
When they turn against the principles we elected them on, they need to be removed before they do more damage.
It's really that simple.
Very few of those Dems exist. They have to have gotten the message by now that if you're not on the Stalinist plantation, you're not really welcome.
"Dems can't win statewide races in Texas right now."
Right now, that's true. But if certain demographic changes continue in the direction they're heading (aka the growth of the Hispanic vote). Texas could get a lot more competitive in about 10 years or so.
I still know a few, believe it or not.

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard
~~For The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, Is The Hand That Rules The World~~
niiiiice!!! I got them the first time I had a coffee after I was pregnant. It was baaaad!!
Why didn't anyone mention that lovely post that was going on earlier, I missed it! I was doing my finance homework, but still, kinda sad!
Chuk, she called you a creeper, I had your back though. haha
I love these random convo threads. Perfect place to vent and loving this group of ladies. I definitely have a few new crushes to add to my original list ;)
I had to google sock bun curls. Had no idea wtf you all were talking about. Did anyone's turn out ok? Apparently luv impressed chuk with hers...is there a pic? I may have to try this... (Again, know I'm late to the game...)
I am straight trippin about the surgery I'm having on Thursday :( I know none of you will remember but mid pregnancy, 4 months ish, I posted about having sudden double vision. It started around then and has only gotten worse vs resolving itself after pregnancy which was the hope. Glad I'm finally going to be able to see and drive safely, but the procedure is freaking me out...
Day 1: general anesthesia, incisions through the whites of both eyes, muscles detached then reattached, sutures left loose and hanging from left eye until the next day. Eye patch to mask the underlying freak show.
Day 2: vision tested and if good, sutures tightened while awake with only numbing eye drops. If not good, dr makes adjustments (awake, drops only) then tightens sutures. FREAKY
I'm supposed to be in pain for several days and will be prescribed pain pills. I'm worried about the recovery and taking care of Evie :(
Chuk, was your DH always this way and it's just now starting to get to you? Or did he change recently?
Sarah, good luck with your surgery! Day 2 actually sounds scarier than day 1.
ODD's trip to the therapist went good today. They think she has anxiety. I didn't realize kids could get anxiety, I mean I'm scared to think of how anxious she'll be as an adult when she has to face adult issues. Probably hereditary. I have horrible panic attacks.
Oh and Jamie your bee story is funny :-)
Sarah -- I love the name Evie!!! My grandpa's name was Evert -- favorite person ever! -- but there is no way hubby would get on board with that. Bummer.
To answer Kim, hubby has always been sort of like this, but it's just getting worse now because my reaction to not feeling valued/loved is to become less lovable. Not necessarily less lovable to him, but I just don't like myself anymore -- I feel like I have completely destroyed who I was and am left with absolutely nothing.
Oh well, at least I'm not sad this morning!

On the morning of Signing Day, Seale finally got an answer when Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh called to break the news.
"He just called and was like, 'Hey man, you got in, are you ready to come up here and play?'" Seale said. "I didn't really know what to say at first. It still hasn't hit me that I got in yet."
When news of his acceptance finally does sink in, Seale will likely look back on the admissions process with great pride. He did everything asked of him by the admissions office and more, determined to head to Palo Alto to take his college football.
"I took the SAT a couple of times and I took three AP classes this year, and I've never taken AP classes before," Seale said. "I got my best GPA ever, a 3.67, and I did a whole bunch of extracurricular activities."
Of course, while Stanford fans greeted news of Seale's acceptance and ensuing commitment with jubilation, fans of the San Diego State program were disappointed. Seale would have been one of, if not the biggest recruit to ink with the Aztecs in many years, but was looking away from home and blazing his own trail.
"I know a lot of people in San Diego and I would have been surrounded by friends, but in the long run I kind of wanted to go off and do my own thing," Seale said. "I didn't want to be surrounded by the same people. I wanted to do new things, go to new places."
To his credit, Seale handled the recruiting process with the utmost transparency and honesty. As a result, the Aztec coaches were understanding of his decision.
"They understood my choice," Seale said. "They wanted me to go there, but they understood where I was coming from. It was nice - like I said they understood, so it really helped. I didn't feel like I hurt anybody's feelings or anything."
And with his lengthy recruitment finally over, Seale took a moment to reflect on the past 12 or so months and look forward to his Cardinal future.
"I finally know what school I'm going to and I can't wait to get started up there," he said.
