Okay, I pixelated this poor grand piano to death. But even so, it's gorgeous.
Check out those pins in the pin block. Those babies are about 2 inches long, and are really heavy. The reason I bring it up is because every time I see the the pin block of the piano, I think about the time that my dad was in charge of the men's dorm back in college. They had an old upright piano in the fourth story, and after years of relentless pounding from college boys, the piano was dead. They tried to remove it, but in the years since it had been taken up to the fourth story, the stairwells had been narrowed and they couldn't get the piano down.
My dad always had a flair for the dramatic (he was a fantastic preacher) and he decided to make a college event out of removing that poor dead piano.
On the following Saturday, all the students gathered beneath the men's dorm, four stories below on the ground. The door at the end of the hallway of the fourth floor was opened up. Down the hall came four strapping college boys, rolling that baby towards oblivion. When they stopped on the edge of the fire escape, the piano made its maiden voyage out into the wild blue yonder.
My dad said that when the piano hit the concrete, the sound was unlike anything he'd ever heard. I'm sure.
What he didn't know was that each one of the strings had approximately 120 pounds of tension on them. At the end of each one of those strings was a 2" turning pin, almost as heavy as a 50 caliber World War II bullet. Dad said that they found very few of those tuning pins. Nobody died, at least that we know of...

[11:28] Bane Lykin drgas the struggling redhead into the cell, tossing her toward the post in the corner with a savage snarl of "strip...." tossed in her direction as he draws himself up in the door way, folding arms across hsi chest to cut off her escape
[11:32] Sable Levee snarls as dragged down the street small body is tossed into an cell , eyes flashing to just look at the man judging her chances of running past him. Smirking even as she knows she is in big trouble either way as she will more then likely get an beating later too by Ston. Just tosses hair back away from face before pealing off clothing what does it matter to her is she is naked, as she more then likely is most of the time anyways.
[11:34] Bane Lykin: "I'm doubting you're sorry for your attempt to steal from me... So I think you're going to have to be taught the lesson your boss very gallantly failed to save you from..." he smirks, his body rippling with restrained power as his eyes fun over the small redhead and her impressive rack, his gaze taking in her curves with a slow, gloating smile
[11:37] Sable Levee just rolls her hips well watching the man as yep she is not sorry as damnit wanted that phone, spoiled look of an child for an fleeting moment to face before it disaprears. Just standing there seeing what the man will do.
[11:39] Bane Lykin: "Yah wanna make up for it with y'pussy?" he demands, his eyes slithering down to the little slit she so easily revealed, his muscular frame immobile as his harsh voice reverberated about the grotty cell, his movements seeming larger as his huge shadow flickers behind him in the stark light of the bare bulb
[11:42] Sable Levee just looks at the man thinking that if he wanted he pussy he would just take it, no he most have something else in mind then just fucking her. Body tense as she really does need an shoot. Shifting body as eyes never once leave the man," so what ya want?"
[11:46] Bane Lykin: "A settlement girl I want you to make up for your crime and learn the lesson, never to covet my stuff again.." he answeres plainly, stepping forward toward her, his face cast into sharp relief by the light as he reaches in to his pocket, drawing out the black metal of the phone, the expensive machined piece of equipment gleaming dully in the erratic white light
[11:49] Sable Levee stands her ground as the big man comes closer as figuring she is gonna be hurt either way so why try to hide from him. Standing as tall as she short frame will allow as eyes flicker to the phone still wanting to play with the shinny tool. " liked your phone is all.." maybe if he would have let her hold it in the first place she might not have tried to steal
[11:52] Bane Lykin shrugs, tossing the little box to her feet, letting it skitter over the concrete and grime to lay undamaged by her, the tough phone immobile as it glints softly in the corner, the mans voice icy and demanding as he questions "That task I gave you....?"
[11:55] Sable Levee eyes flicker watching as the phone is tossed down to the dirt of the floor almost moving to pick it up but doesn't. Thinking it to be some sort of test just lifts gaze to the man once more," ya what about it?" fine tremor to frame shown if looked closely toward her as the need for her fix shows

Surely not!? Dance lessons are being given to stallions during their off season to keep them from Grass Potato Syndrome (GPS). Stallionhandlers will be asked to gently introduce thier partners to the Cha Cha Cha , their response is likely to be Ha ha ha . We look forward to Tango lessons in late October, when the Stallionmen Union response is likely to be a 100% fruitier and significantly fizzier!
We have a small sports club in our village that offers inexpensive gymnastic lessons for children. Every child can join. I volunteer at the gymnastic lessons and the competitions. It is really great to see the children having fun.
U.S. Army Africa Soldiers apply lessons of WWII to current mission
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa
KAIROUAN, Tunisia – Col. Stephen Mariano looked down into a foxhole carved atop a rocky hill top near El Guettar, where in March 1943, troops from U.S. Army II Corps battled German panzers.
Nearby, retired Army Col. Len Fullenkamp conjured tales of U.S. Army Rangers under Lt. Col. William Darby marching through darkness along a nearby ridge to surprise sleeping enemy infantrymen with fixed bayonets. Soldiers from the 1st Infantry Division hacked fighting positions from solid rock as enemy tanks rumbled into the valley. U.S. Army artillery units skimmed shells across the desert at approaching German armor.
Mariano began to wonder, “Had my grandfather dug one of these foxholes? Was his artillery position somewhere nearby? Did he fire on Germans coming through this gap?”
Mariano, 45, of Redlands, Calif., was among several U.S. Army Africa officers who took part in a four-day “staff ride,” – onsite discussions of Tunisia’s World War II battlefields geared toward finding insights into U.S. Army Africa’s present challenge – building cooperative relationships with African land forces to increase security, stability and peace in the region.
In late 1942, U.S. forces landed in North Africa with British troops. Their first fights were with Vichy French units, who later joined the Allied cause. Together, they pushed east into Tunisia, where they clashed with German and Italian troops among craggy, cactus-covered hills and washed out wadis.
As a U.S. Army Africa’s strategic planner, a look back at the alliance between American, British and French forces offered Mariano a glimpse at an international coalitions’ growing pains and how friction between partners can doom a mission. On a more personal level, the staff ride allowed him to recapture his family’s past.
Henry Mariano, Sr., was a sergeant with the 2nd Battalion, 62nd Armored Field Artillery Regiment who survived combat in North Africa, Italy and France before being wounded during the Battle of the Bulge in Belgium.
“This staff ride is a historic event, on a historic event, separated by 67 years,” Mariano said. “To be here, where my grandfather was, is pretty powerful to me.”
The tour began May 27 outside Sidi Bou Zid, where U.S. forces suffered a horrible defeat in mid-February 1943. They stopped for the evening in Gafsa, a city in Central Tunisia that changed hands between Allied and Axis forces several times during the campaign.
The second day, they focused on the Allied defeat at Kasserine Pass, followed by the U.S. Army’s first solid gains against veteran German troops in the counterattack at El Guettar. The next day, U.S. Army Africa Soldiers ventured east to focus on British Gen. Bernard Montgomery’s attempt to punch through Axis defenses at the coastal town of Enfidaville, roughly 40 miles southeast of Tunis.
Perched on a craggy knoll near Takrouna, Col. David Buckingham, U.S. Army Africa’s senior operations officer, bent the spine of Atkinson’s book, deep in thought about how for two days in mid-April 1942, New Zealanders came to death grips with Italian defenders in the limestone foothills outside Enfidaville.
Afterward, they paid respects to French and British Commonwealth troops buried nearby.
“Tying this staff ride together with Memorial Day, taking time to better understanding leadership and feel the sacrifice of our soldiers, has been both poignant and educational,” Buckingham said.
At each stop, officers thumbed through worn copies of Rick Atkinson’s “An Army At Dawn,” at their hip as Fullenkamp spoke of the bravery, heroics, ingenuity, lunacy and debacles of the North African campaign. After discussions, they poked through thorn bushes and cacti along the rocky terrain, searching for battlefield remnants.
At El Guettar, Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III, commander of U.S. Army Africa, found a tin C-ration can and passed it to his senior logistics officer, Col. Mike Balser. Others found shards of shells and bullet casings. Lt. Col. David Konop, the command’s public affairs officer, found a link from a 30-caliber machine gun belt.
It was hard to not be overwhelmed in the presence of such history, to walk this consecrated ground, Fullenkamp said.
Like the 34th Infantry Division, they climbed the hills near Fondouk Pass. They stood in the cold rain below Longstop Hill, just as the U.S. Army’s 1st Battalion, 18th Infantry Regiment had when they relieved the 2nd Battalion of the British Coldstream Guards, around Christmas 1942.
The U.S. Army Africa tour wrapped up in the Tunisian capital, Tunis, the prize the Allies had fought seven months to pry away from German control. The Soldeirs took part in a May 31 Memorial Day ceremony at the North Africa American Cemetery and Memorial near Carthage, Tunisia.
All agreed that their experience in Tunisia was unlike walking the U.S. battlefield of Gettysburg, tracing the footsteps of Pickett’s men from Spangler’s Woods to the Emmitsburg Road. Nor was it like stepping from the shores of Normandy onto Omaha beach’s Dog Green sector on D-Day staff rides.
This tour was focused on lessons the U.S. Army learned over the course of a seven-month campaign across North Africa.
“No one’s ever done something like this, in this context, before. We’re using the book ‘An Army At Dawn’ and we are an Army Service Component Command at dawn,” Mariano said. “That’s the connection. It’s brilliant. “
Early on, Garrett challenged his staff to ask tough questions along the way and encouraged them to discuss tactical operations, but also look for insights into overall strategic goals. In North Africa, U.S. Army leaders found innovative ways to grow and succeed against often-insurmountable odds, he said.
“Talking about the past, in the present, that’s what this is about,” Garrett said. “This staff ride is simply a mechanism, a tool for helping us think about the challenges leaders faced in Africa during World War II and applying insights to our present focus.”

Starting with a newspaper page.
I had saved a beautiful newpaper photo of an African mother and baby. I copied it just in time, it's deteriorating already. Then it was election day, and my thoughts became political. Then where was the "This day in history" note with Susan B Anthony's birthday.
I'm sitting quiet and alone and watch this kid quickly approaching me on his bike .... I think too much ... and I lived in NYC too long and walked too many hard streets over those years ... I just started assuming the worst ... that I was about to lose my camera .... well ... Kevin just needed to borrow my phone .... and after that ... I just needed to borrow his face ..... Moral ..... stop thinking .... just live .........
I have transposed the synth lines from this chill track and placed them on the guitar. Intro, Verse and Bridge in tablature with rhythmic values & fingerings, picking details, "Drop D" tuning example and a D Natural Minor Scale.

This is the first summer that all 3 kids have had a chance to take swimming lessons. Last year we missed it all together and the year before (when the twins were 2) we could only take them one at a time since someone had to stay with the 3rd kiddo. Claire missed out on lessons that year as July was unseasonably cold. This year they are doing pretty well. Claire is still afraid at moments (only 3 lessons under our belt so far). But she is excited and happy to go each night.
