Comments about sE Electronics Reflexion Filter X:
I naively bought this to use with an Atlas Sound microphone stand (5/8" 27 thread) and an MXL microphone shock mount (also 5/8" 27 thread). The description of this reflexion filter makes no mention of the actual thread size requirements. In fact, the box and instructions also make no mention. Guess what? It is way smaller than Atlas/MXL standard 5/8" thread. It is actually fitted for a 3/8" stand (I think K&M makes this size). Sure I could order an adapter for a little more money to make it work, but to me this is a serious customer service oversight by SE Electronics not to disclose thread size anywhere in its marketing or customer information. A company should not be rewarded for providing incomplete information to the customer or manufacturing to a non-standard specification. Instead, I will be returning this product and shopping for an alternative solution that actually fits a 5/8" microphone stand.

Comments about sE Electronics Reflexion Filter X:
I read several reviews with customers upset at the Reflexion Filter X connectivity to standard Mic stands. The only problem is that there are no directions that advise of the smaller threader connected inside the larger connector. With a wide screwdriver loosen the inner section of the connection and then the larger hole (connection) will fit on the standard mic stand.

Comments about sE Electronics Reflexion Filter X:
The best part of this filter would be that it's inexpensive compared to the other SE Reflexion filters if you're hurting for an SE Reflexion filter but don't want to spend more on their top model one than this would be your next best option. That being said the Pro SE Reflexion filter isn't perfect so this being lesser version of that is even worse.
It's still has the same problems of not exactly giving you studio sound but still kind of cutting out some of the reflection you hear in an open room. You do have to adjust your mic in furthest into the filter that's what I found out gets it a somewhat decent quality but not worth the asking price for the improvement. I dropped this and went for the Soundkitz AE-F which gave me the changes I was looking for. I liked the build quality of it being metal over plastic which I think handles the sound better by not vibrating through the back of the filter like the RFX does if you go heavy on it. If you want a cheaper filter and it has to be SE this is about it but I would save and get something better built.

Item arrived earlier but haven't really tried it coz of time constraints.
The item is really easy to install to most(standard) mic stands.
I haven't given a thorough trial on the sound quality but I have given a few tries and it seem to remove some of the unwanted "shhhhhhhhh" sounds. Recorded sound seems to be a little more clear and more studio-ish.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Around this time last year, I was writing for Seeking Alpha. Readers lambasted me for Apple Bulls Are Wrong About The Impact Of A New CEO.
Apple ( AAPL) bulls not only ripped me, they got dangerously emotional in the process. During late March 2012, AAPL longs were all over Twitter rallying the troops against even a sniff of bearishness with Tweets such as: I'm expecting 50 trailing EPS when $AAPL reports Jan '13. Multiply by P/E expansion to 18 = PT 900. Ip5 frenzy could mean 1K/share. #GetIn, Portfolio now 90% $AAPL calls and bull call spreads going into April earnings. 600 was defended today, onward to 610 and Let's go 620 u can do it. Those representative war cries come from late March 2012. There was still plenty of upside left in AAPL on the way to $700 so, in theory, that flavor of bull could have done quite well with the stock, even via options. Or they could have become even more confident, doubled down on calls and ended up one of the many who combined to lose millions upon millions as AAPL started to fall. Because, when a battleground stock like AAPL starts to drop, many bulls not only double down, they start using emotionally charged words such as "defended," shouting cheers and making up inane price targets. They feel the need to follow through with the type of loyalty your grandfather expects you to show your country. It becomes a matter of personal and "national" pride. It's about as effective vis-à-vis real world outcomes as yelling at your television screen during a sporting event. I sense this type of money-losing behavior rearing its head again. If you're Doug Kass, it's one thing to trade in and out of AAPL. If you can do that, more power to you. But, most of us lack the ability. AAPL's up a few percent over the last week. On Tuesday, it tapped past $460 intraday. There's optimism once again from folks calling "the bottom" and recalculating price targets. There's this air that Samsung's joke of a smartphone launch reaffirms Apple's continued dominance. To a certain extent, I agree. The feeling bubbles under the surface that even if BlackBerry ( BBRY) sees real success with the new "Zed 10," it won't make a big enough dent in Apple's mindshare or Android's marketshare to matter to Apple, Samsung or Google ( GOOG). Again, I pretty much agree. However, this does not remove the elephant from the room. It does not change the fact that the real reason AAPL turned up is because of chatter around a possible dividend-related move. How bad have things become when talk of an increased or special dividend is what we need to push AAPL higher?

Gerald Stern Receives Frost Medal [1]
The Poetry Society of America (PSA) has announced that poet Gerald Stern will receive the 2014 Frost Medal [3], the organization's most prestigious award, given annually for distinguished lifetime achievement in poetry.
The son of immigrants from Poland and Ukraine, Gerald Stern was born in 1925 in Pittsburgh. He is the author of eighteen books of poetry, including most recently In Beauty Bright (Norton, 2012), as well as two chapbooks and four essay collections. His collection This Time: New and Selected Poems, received the National Book Award in 1998, and in 2000 he was appointed the first poet laureate of New Jersey. Among numerous other accolades, he has also received the Wallace Stevens Award from the Academy of American Poets, and was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He studied at the University of Pittsburgh and Columbia University, and has taught literature and creative writing at Temple University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Drew University, and the Iowa Writers' Workshop. He lives in Lambertville, New Jersey.
Stern will be honored, along with the recipients of PSA's annual Shelley Award [4], Chapbook Fellowships [5], and a number of other annual poetry awards [6], at a ceremony on April 9 in New York City. Admission [7] is free and open to the public.
Previous Frost Medal winners have included Robert Bly, Gwendolyn Brooks, Lucille Clifton, Robert Frost, Allen Ginsberg, Marianne Moore, Marilyn Nelson, Charles Simic, and Wallace Stevens.

Every year, when the star rose above the horizon just before dawn, the Romans paid bizarre tribute to it by sacrificing dogs with red fur. Seneca the Younger wrote that "the redness of the dog star is deeper, that of Mars milder." Ptolemy called it "reddish," a description also used by Cicero, Horace and other classical authors. The same hue was attributed to the star in cuneiform texts of Babylonia dating as far back as 1000 B.C.
The object of all this historic attention was the dominant member of the constellation Canis Major--Sirius, the brightest[*]star in the night sky and one...

In Getting Our Way, Christopher Meyer, the former British ambassador to Washington, argues for a rejuvenated Foreign Office, based on a clear-eyed vision of the national interest. With some candour, he decries the "daft utopianism of global values" that has diminished the role of British diplomacy.
To make his case, he draws on the stories of British diplomats and their successes of the past 500 years, from Henry Killigrew, sent to Scotland in 1572 to foster anti-French propaganda and ward off a Catholic invasion, to Chris Patten's handling of the handover of Hong Kong in 1997.
As Meyer tells these stories, he interprets the actions of his predecessors in the light of his own experiences. His interjections are occasionally bland and surprisingly gossipy ("ambassadors tend to be a tad frisky"), obstructing the flow of his historical narratives. But for the most part his commentary adds insight.
He concludes with a roster of attributes needed by diplomats, a list one suspects will always hold true: "A quick mind, hard head, strong stomach, warm smile, cold eye."

H1N1 Consulting Paradigm Shift Intervention Monitoring |
Commentary H3N2v NA N234D
Spread To Minnesota The NA sequence in Minnesota is identical to eight sequences from Butler County in Ohio (A/Ohio/13/2012, A/Ohio/14/2012, A/Ohio/15/2012, A/Ohio/16/2012, A/Ohio/17/2012, A/Ohio/18/2012, A/Ohio/20/2012, and A/Ohio/24/2012), as well as the two full sequences from LaPorte County in Indiana (A/Indiana/07/2012 and A/Indiana/09/2012) and presumably the other two LaPorte cases (A/Indiana/06/2012 and A/Indiana/08/2012), which have yielded partial sequences that are identical to the two full sequences. The identity in the NA sequences from isolates in three states highlights the similarities in the H3N2v sequences from July and August isolates from 7 states (Hawaii, Indiana, Ohio, Maryland, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin). All match the sub-clade initially detected at a West Virginia day care center which had extensive human to human transmission in contacts (A/West Virginia/07/2011) and index case (A/West Virginia/06/2011) with no swine exposure. This sub-clade was also identified in Utah (A/Utah/10/2012) in late March. However, the recent cases represent a clonal expansion with the closely related sequences in all 8 gene segments. All map to the same branch in phylogenetic analysis and 7 of the 8 branches (all except NP) have evolved directly from the West Virginia sequences. The clonal expansion seen in all 34 July and August H3N2v sequence signals human adaptation and transmission, CDC's biased testing of cases with "swine contact" notwithstanding. Recombinomics

Tuesdays, however, are back to the same-old-same-old. And I'm not sure why my hair and makeup people aren't here yet, but I'm currently sitting in my bed in my pajamas with some seriously out-of-control bedhead because Adam took Jayci to school and brought Caden along so I could NOT hold him for three minutes at least.
Anyways, I left y'all here on Wednesday night after eating a delicious salted caramel cupcake. I'm pretty sure that's what most models eat before big photo shoots right? Thursday morning, we met the crew from Glamour downstairs (after packing up all our stuff and checking out etc) where we hopped in the car they had waiting for us to head to our photoshoot. We ended up in this super-cool building in a giant all-white room with wall-to-wall windows overlooking the skyline. Seriously y'all, I have no idea why I didn't take a picture. I was too overwhelmed and busy eating the yummy breakfast that was waiting for us. Soon after arriving, I met Gad, who was doing my hair. My fellow winner (Keela) described the makeover/getting ready time as being a lot like The Hunger Games and Gad as being like Cinna, and I couldn't agree more. Seriously, beauty base zero y'all.
Speaking of my fellow winners, we were all featured on Beauty Sweet Spot today and you can read about all my amazing co-winners and the work they're doing to make the world a better place. I love them. Also, all of their organizations are totally big-time and legit. They asked me what I did to get the word out about the contest and voting and I shrugged and told them I wrote about it on my blog, Right after I wrote about not-sleeping-EVER and before writing about my spray tan. See? We're totally legit too. Plus, Blueprint 58's facebook page has like 100 "likes" compared to their thousands. Legit.
While my hair was being done, my nails were being painted by a sweet lady. While we were chatting, she told me how she mentors young pregnant girls in NYC, and I couldn't help thinking about just how many woman are doing things to give back and inspire others. I wish every single one of you could be pampered and loved on and celebrated for everything you do!
So at this point, my nails are painted and my hair has been DID. And then the fabulous make-up artist from New Zealand got to work on my face. I'm not bashing myself here y'all, I'm just saying that he had some seriously dark under-eye circles to conceal, as a result of 9 months of sleep deprivation. Just saying.
Then I went to visit my stylist. Yup, I had a stylist. And she had bought beautiful designer clothes for me to choose from that she thought would be just perfect for me. I tried on a few before she convinced me that the purple one was "just gorgeous on me" and I put on a fluffy white robe and slipped my feet into fluffy white slippers to await the photo shoot. In the meantime, I chatted with Jeanine from Beauty Sweet Spot and made silly faces at Adam across the room. He was busy talking to Keela's fiance, an olympic medalist in luge and therefore basically Adam's hero.
I was the first person to go in front of the cameras (we each had an individual shoot before the group shots). Let me just say that Adam was, as a matter of fact, in some of the individual shots with me. Here are his Twitter updates from that morning: "So glamour took one look at me and said we want to do a photoshoot with u too. All my dreams have come true" and "Makeup artist just refused to touch me up for the shoot saying I looked perfect....at least thats what I heard." These might be slightly exaggerated, but he certainly did help me feel less ill-at-ease in front of the camera. Speaking of the cameras, Grace Huang was the one shooting us, and let me just say what a genius she is. I loved her, seriously.
So my stylist picked out some fabulous 4 inch heels to wear with my fancy-designer dress, and let me just tell you how impossible it was for me to
After my individual shoot, they interviewed me on camera (I slipped my fluffy white slippers on for that, because you couldn't see my feet, that's just how I roll). In my interview, they asked me what I thought about Sally Hansen and Glamour Magazine and what they were doing for us. Of course, I told them I was SO grateful (which I am), but I also told them this: Everyone from these two organizations has been telling me over and over again that they don't do enough and that I am inspiring and changing the world. The truth, however, is that by being faithful to honor woman who are doing important things, they too are making a difference. They are empowering and encouraging and changing the world just as surely as we are! In the meantime they shot Carrie, Keela, and Rachel's individual shots. I'm just saying, they all looked fabulous. For realz.
Then we had our group shots (one of which will be in the September issue of Glamour magazine). Every few seconds, our hair was fluffed by Gad and then he would man the fan which was blowing our hair (I'm not even kidding, this was real life yall). The make-up artist or his assistant would retouch our face, the stylist would retie my bow and adjust my dress, and Grace would remind me to stick out my hip, which I wasn't quite sure how to accomplish without falling on my face in my ginormous heels. Eventually, however, they realized I was basically a giant (I'm 5'11" without heels), and they put me in some lower ones. I've never been so relieved.
Let me also just tell you that I have never been SO out of my element before. It was exhausting. And at one point in the middle of all this, my introvert-self thought how lovely it would be to just curl up in my yoga pants and cuddle my babies and possibly play a round of Spoons with the kiddos.
We flew home, where both our sweet babies were snug in their beds and we crawled gratefully into our own bed to the sound of gunshots down the street. And Caden waking up approximately 30 minutes after I fell asleep. I think he can smell me or something. Seriously. It was such a perfect juxtaposition and picture of our real lives, I couldn't help but laugh. But if I'm being honest? I wouldn't change my real-life, as un-glamorous as it might be, for anything!

The gold-winning interpretation of Ravel's Bolero, apparently so effortless, was, of course, the fruit of years of hard work. First, the skaters had to be taught the basic movements, and to train their minds and muscles, through repetitive routines, to perform them. Next, they had to grow up emotionally, and learn to desire for themselves what their teachers had long wanted for them. Otherwise, they could never have dedicated their teens to disciplined practice. Finally, they had to move beyond their mentors and develop their own vision of the art of skating. By now they looked as if they could do whatever they liked on the ice; for their limbs would respond perfectly to their imaginations. Their training had liberated them to obey their vision, and to do so in a manner their talent deserved.
Human freedom is similar, and the education of athletes and artists can help us to understand it. To be free as a human being is to be able to live well, to live in a way that expresses the purpose of our human lives. Such freedom does not come easily: first, we need to learn the rules from parents and teachers, initially through child-like obedience and repeated practice. Adolescence, becoming an adult, is not just a stage of rebellion; rather it is the time when we come to understand for ourselves the point of living well, and take over the responsibility for our own development. That is where true education begins.
Full freedom arrives with the third stage, maturity. By now our moral and emotional muscles are well trained, and we understand how to live well, and why we should try to. When we want to express our human nature creatively, in acts of generosity or courage, for example, our minds and hearts and bodies will respond to our wishes. In this way we are free to live the moral equivalent of a skater's life. Our human skills are our virtues, which allow us to become the sort of human beings we would like to be. We express our individual humanity, as skaters express their individual talents, in a million unique ways. At the same time, we share, as skaters share, some common picture of how to succeed. It is as hard to achieve a flawless performance in life as it is on the ice-rink - but it is more fun to skate moderately well than simply fall over.
Maturity gives us the freedom to obey our human ideals, just as the skill of Torvill and Dean gave them the freedom to obey their artistic vision. That is the only way to make sense of New Testament teachings about freedom. St Paul, in Romans, describes Christians as the servants of God. A few pages later he talks of "the glorious freedom of the children of God". Are we servants, then, or are we free? The answer is that our freedom consists in service; for our human maturity, if we achieve it, gives us the freedom to obey and express the moral and spiritual vision that we inherit and make our own.
Our society makes two mistakes about freedom. The first is that freedom means nothing but choosing. I am free when I can choose whatever I like, for no reason except that I want it. Freedom is the choice of 20 types of toothpaste. Freedom is being able to go wherever I want, or drink as much as I like. Why? Because I want to, full stop. Who has the right to interfere? Freedom, on this view, is in conflict with obedience.
The second mistake we make is to forget that we need freedom at all. If a teacher, a nurse, or a grocer are to do their job well, they need to be educated. But after that, they need to be given the freedom that is essential for maturity. They need to be trusted to express their vocation creatively and responsibly. Instead, we have developed stifling systems of inspection. Take education, where teachers are increasingly required to teach exactly what they are told, in exactly the way they are told to. Many of the most imaginative and committed have succumbed in response to stress, and left the profession. For there is nothing so demoralising as not being trusted to do your job well.
The two mistakes we make in public life are mirrored in our attitude to personal well-being. We think we are free, and happy, when we do the choosing ourselves. Yet Jesus told his disciples, "You did not choose me, but I chose you" (John xv, 16). On the other hand, we try to force people into "excellence", as if laws or inspections can make them good. But the "glorious freedom of the children of God" is not imposed from outside: it comes from the Holy Spirit, who dwells within. Like the freedom of the ice-dancer, it too has its own beauty, the mesmerising beauty of mature human love.

Athens Day 1
Well, you must be wondering how I got into a trip so soon. I normally go for a trip in June. But this year it was definitely early. It was not planned by me. For your information, we reached the target of buying S26 milk powder for our sales in the shop.
So I was lucky to be able to join in the trip. My sister joined me for the trip but she had to pay at a discounted fee.
Here's some pictures..
at KLIA
at Dubai Airport
(Dubai is 4 hours behind us)
at Athens Airport
(Athens is 6 hours behind us)
Saw this structure on our way out from the Athens Airport
Inside the coach, we had meat floss sandwiches
and mineral water (provided)
Passed by the House of Parliament
We stopped at the Panathenaic Olympics Stadium
to take some pictures.
In Athens town, on our way to the hotel.
That's our room for four nights.

It's a little-known fact that thousands of children go missing from the UK every year.
Many of them are never found.
The authorities refuse to keep official records on the number who disappear.
What is really happening to Britain's missing children?
Take the tragic case of 16-year old Alexander Sloley.
In August 2008, Alexander appeared to disappear from the face of the earth.
He was a bright college student and hoped to train as an accountant.
As in the case of another missing child, Andrew Gosden, Alexander had little money, no wallet and no bag with extra clothes to indicate he was planning to run away.
In fact he had been on his way home to celebrate his birthday and had shown no signs that he was unhappy.
Police have been unable to find a clue to his whereabouts.
"It's like he disappeared off the face of the planet," said one officer.
As there has been no contact or confirmed sightings of Alexander and police have been unable to find a clue to his whereabouts, his family is having to accept the possibility that he is dead.
What could have happened to Alexander?
Again, as in the case of Andrew Gosden, the family of Alexander feel that the Met police didn't do enough to try to trace him.
Indeed, police investigations have failed to uncover what really happened to Andrew and Alexander which has caused terrible anguish for their families.
Why are children vanishing into thin air on Britain's streets?
Why aren't the police fully investigating these disappearances?
As these boys don't appear to have run away what the hell has happened to them?
Who really knows the truth about Britain's missing children?
It's about bloody time we found out.

Doc Hollidayĺs Role in the Westĺs Most Famous Gunfight
By Jeff Morey
To the world at large, Doc Holliday was one whiskey-soaked, bullet-spitting, Son oĺ Thunder whose only saving grace was that he would soon be dead. His menacing public persona lent credence to claims that he was primarily responsible for the so-called "gunfight at the O. K. Corral." Sporting an unsavory frontier-wide reputation as a deadly killer, it was Doc Holliday who raged against Ike Clanton the night before the O. K. Corral shoot-out. It was Doc Holliday who, witness after witness (for the prosecution, that is) identified as having fired the first unprovoked shots at peaceful, non-resisting ranchers. So it is that Doc Hollidayĺs role in the Westĺs most famous gunfight is central to any understanding of what really transpired that bloody afternoon. But what does the evidence really tell us? That large question can best be addressed by breaking it down into smaller, more specific inquiries.
Did Doc Holliday Return to Tombstone to Hunt-up Ike Clanton?
Big Nose Kate Elder recalled that she and Holliday were in Tucson on October 25, 1881. "Doc was bucking at faro, I was standing behind him, when Morgan Earp came and tapped Doc on the shoulder and said, 'Doc, we want you in Tombstone tomorrow. Better come up this evening.' " Elder said she accompanied Holliday and Morgan back to the mining camp. "Doc left me at his room and went with Morgan at 10:30 P. M. when we got back." Two and one-half hours later, Doc Holliday, backed by Morgan Earp, allegedly commenced to verbally abuse Ike Clanton.
Kate's account of returning from Tucson on the evening of Oct. 25th, is undermined by the Tombstone Daily Nugget of that date, which reported, "Morgan Earp and Doc Holliday returned from Tucson Saturday evening (Oct. 22nd)." This is important because the urgent call for Hollidayĺs presence has been interpreted as indicating the Earps were readying themselves for an imminent fight. That Doc returned to Tombstone three days before Ike even hit town, weakens the scenario that he hurried back to provoke a fight with Clanton.
Did Doc Holliday try to provoke Ike Clanton into a Gunfight on October 25, 1881?
Ike Clanton claimed that "the night before the shooting" Doc Holliday found him at the Occidental Lunch Room and began to abuse him: "He had his hand on his pistol and called me a damned son-of-a-bitch and told me to get my gun out. I told him I did not have any gun. I looked around and I seen Morg Earp sitting at the bar behind me, with his hand on his gun. Doc Holliday kept abusing me."
No one denied hot words were exchanged between Holliday and Clanton. Wyatt Earp said that Doc and Ike were still arguing outside when he, himself, finally emerged onto the street. According to the Epitaph version of Earpĺs testimony, Wyatt claimed, "I then went to Holliday, who was pretty tight, and took him away," While Earp said the incident happened at the Alhambra Saloon, Clanton testified before the coronerĺs jury that it occurred at the Occidental Lunch Room. Later, at Spicerĺs hearing, Ike has the exchange starting at an unidentified lunch stand "near the Eagle Brewery Saloon."
Clantonĺs claim that Doc Holliday instigated the confrontation was never seriously challenged in court. Because of that, Ikeĺs account is often accepted at face value. Wyattĺs version implies that Holliday was drunk and provocative. However, there are problems with Clantonĺs tale. Ikeĺs odd lack of precision in identifying where his run-in with Doc happened begs questions of Clantonĺs own wherewithal when he and Doc tangled. Had Ike, himself, been drinking? Did Clanton purposely elect to have lunch in an acknowledged Holliday haunt? If so the question is begged as to who was doing the hunting that night.
Wyatt Earpĺs testimony provides an important clue to what may have happened. He testified that following the attempt to rob the Benson stage in March, 1881, in which the driver and a passenger were killed, frustration over his inability to apprehend the suspectsľBill Leonard, Harry Head, and Jim Crane--led him to enlist Ike Clantonĺs help by offering him the Wells, Fargo reward for their capture. The deal fell through when the three suspects were killed, but it left a nasty secret. Eventually, Ike learned that Marshall Williams, the Wells Fargo Agent in Tombstone, had figured the deal out, and he suspected that Doc Holliday knew as well. In the ten days before the street fight, Ike questioned Wyatt about what Doc knew. Wyatt told him Doc knew nothing, but suggested Ike ask Doc when the gambler returned to Tombstone.
By the time Doc reached Tombstone on October 22, Ike had left town. Clanton came back to Tombstone on October 25, and he may have gone searching out Holliday, not necessarily to fight, but to ease his gnawing apprehension over being found out. Holliday may have approached him simply to tell Ike he didnĺt know anything about Ikeĺs deal with Wyatt. Either scenario could have escalated into a quarrel.
So, while it is certain that Doc Holliday and Ike Clanton locked horns, the why and wherefore are not obvious. Ikeĺs account presents Hollidayĺs behavior as arbitrary rather than clearly motivated, but Wyatt provides a plausible motive for the exchange. Clanton never convincingly spelled out the reasons for Docĺs alleged verbal assault. That alone suggests more transpired than Ike ever let on. After all, he had a lot to hide.
How was Doc dressed on the day of the street fight?
Witness Charles Hamilton Light clearly described Doc as being "a tall man with gray clothes and broad hat. . . ." Milliner Addie Bourland said Holliday wore a "long coat." This was confirmed by Virgil Earp. The Nugget more precisely described Holliday as wearing an "ulster," by definition a long, rather loose-fitting overcoat made of unfelted or shaggy wool.
Did Holliday wear a standard gunbelt with a holster?
Many believed Doc wore a gunbelt and holster because of R. F. Coleman's testimony that Frank McLaury's last shot "struck Doc Holliday on his hip, on his scabbard." In contrast, the Nugget said, "This shot of McLowry's [sic] passed through Holliday's pistol pocket, just grazing the skin." This distinction is important. A "pistol pocket" was a special pocket lined with either canvas or leather to support a pistol in one's clothing, not a standard scabbard which hung from a belt. The Nugget (Oct 30, 1881) contradicted Coleman's claims by saying, "His (Coleman's) eyesight was particularly good; he saw Frank McLowry shoot at Doc Holliday, and the ball 'stuck Holliday on the hip or his scabbard.' This when the ball didn't hit his hip, and he had no scabbard on, but in this case his good eyesight saw through Holliday's heavy ulster and saw the ball strike the hip that was fartherest [sic] from him."
If Holliday wasn't wearing a holster, how did he pack his pistol? Before the shootout witness Wes Fuller observed the Earp party on the corner of Fourth and Allen. He "saw Holliday put one (six-shooter) in his coat pocket." So, it would seem Doc carried his pistol in his ulster. It remains unclear, however, if the "pistol pocket" hit by McLauryĺs final shot was in Hollidayĺs overcoat pocket or another such pistol support sewn into Docĺs trousers or undercoat.
What type of shotgun did Doc carry?
The make and gauge of the shotgun Virgil Earp retrieved from the Wells Fargo office and subsequently handed Holliday were never specified. All we have is the Nuggetĺs description of Doc "using a short shotgun, such as is carried by Wells Fargo & Co.'s messengers." Generally, such weapons were ten-gauge. However, the small number of buckshot in Tom McLaury's body (12), leads some to speculate it may have been a twelve-guage.
When the Earps and Holliday passed Bauerĺs Market, did Morgan tell Doc to "Let them have it?"
Martha J. King said that while she was in the market, and as the City Marshal's party passed, she heard one of the Earps say, "Let them have it!" and that Doc replied "All right." However, Mrs. King didn't know one Earp from another and couldn't specifically identify the initial speaker. It was Glenn G. Boyer, in his book, I Married Wyatt Earp (1976), who identified Morgan Earp as the speaker. Boyer has "Josephine" say: "A woman in a butcher shop testified that as the Earps approached she overheard one say to the other: ĹLet 'em have it!ĺ She said the other replied, 'All right!' This is probably discounted by some as not likely, after reading all the Earp-heroizing fiction in recent years. Nevertheless, these truly are the words that passed between Doc and Morg, unheard by either Wyatt or Virge, who were both walking ahead, still hoping to simply make an arrest. If they had heard that exchange, they would have tried to calm the two hotheads, and there may have been a different outcome."
The Nugget version of Mrs. King's testimony completely belies the fictitious Boyer scenario. Her testimony is as follows: "These four men were on the sidewalk walking leisurely along. . . . Mr. Holliday and the man on the outside, were just a little in front of the middle two; they were walking nearly abreast of each other; Holliday was on the left hand side, next to the building; I heard remarks from the party as they passed; I heard the gentleman on the outside . . . as he looked around say to Mr. Holliday. ĹLet them have it;ĺ Mr. Holliday said, ĹAll right.ĺ I suppose he said it to Mr. Holliday, for he answered him; no names were used; I heard no other conversation, at this exact time. . . ." (Nugget, Nov. 6, 1881)
Thus, Mrs. King refutes Boyer's claim that the Earp party were walking two by two. They were walking nearly four abreast. Since the far outside man, closest to the street, spoke to the far inside man (Holliday), who was closest to the building, it is wholly improbable that the two middle men could not have heard the exchange. What exactly was meant by the "Let them have it!" statement? That isn't clear because Mrs. King never heard it in any context. Was one of the Earps telling Doc to just blast away? Perhaps, but improbable. As these words were allegedly being spoken, Sheriff Johnny Behan was standing directly in front of the Earp party. Several witnesses testified that the Sheriff tried to stop the City Marshal's party right at the butcher shop. In light of this, Virgil Earp could well have been telling Holliday to hand the scattergun over if the Sheriff demanded it. The sound of "Let him have it!" when spoken rapidly, is virtually identical to the sound of "Let them have it!"
Did Doc have a particular role assigned for him to play in the confrontation with the cowboys?
No account has surfaced detailing any plan the City Marshal may have entertained as he and his men approached the cowboys. However, the initial positioning of the Earp group suggests, if not a plan of attack, a plan of containment. Virgil Earp testified that he entered the lot and was positioned to the "left of" his party. Wyatt Earp also said he moved into the lot, but according to Billy Allen, Wyatt only got as far as the northwest corner of Fly's boardinghouse. Wes Fuller said Morgan Earp and Doc Holliday remained on the street, north of the vacant lot. Witness P.H. Fellehy confirmed this when he indicated, "after the shooting commenced, I see Doc Holliday in the middle of the street, and the youngest one of the Earp brothers (Morg) was, I judge, 3 feet from the sidewalk. . . ." Because Virgil and Wyatt were in the lot, Fellehy could not make them out. As he put it, "I never see [sic] the older two Earp brothers as I did not know where they were situated."
Finally, when Addie Bourland testified she saw the man with the long coat, whom she later identified as Doc, stick his weapon into the stomach of one of the cowboys and then back away a few feet, it becomes clear that Doc was closest to the cowboys and positioned farthest to the west of his group. From this positioning, it would appear the City Marshal had arranged his men with a definite rationale in mind. While he and Wyatt directly confronted the cowboys, Morg and Doc were situated in the street as backup and also to protect Virgil and Wyatt's flank, should any cowboys move toward the street.
What kind of pistol did Doc carry into the street fight?
Witnesses gave conflicting descriptions of Doc's handgun. Sheriff Johnny Behan testified that Doc carried a nickel-plated revolver while saloonkeeper Bob Hatch and Addie Bourland said they saw Holliday with a dark brown (or bronze) pistol. Despite this contradiction, there is little doubt that Doc's pistol was indeed nickel-plated. The defense never contested Behan's claim. In fact, when cross-examining Sheriff Behan, defense lawyers conceded Doc used such a weapon when they asked Behan, "Is it not a fact that the first shot fired by Holliday was from a shotgun; that he then threw the shotgun down and drew the nickel-plated pistol from his person and then discharged the nickel-plated pistol. . . ?" This question makes no sense if Holliday didn't, in fact, carry a nickel-plated pistol into the gunfight.
Yet, when Bob Hatch was asked about Doc's pistol, he replied, "It looked to me like a brown pistol; I did not see him with a nickel-plated pistol during the fight; whether he had one or not I could not say. (Nugget, Nov. 18, 1881) Then, when Bourland took the stand, she was asked,
(Q) "Did you notice the character of the weapon Doc Holliday had in his hand?"
(A) "It was a very large pistol."
(Q) "Did you notice the color of the pistol?"
(A) "It was dark bronze."
What can be made of this testimony in light of the defense concession that Doc carried a nickel-plated pistol? The most probable explanation for Bourland's claim is that she mistakenly took the short-barreled shotgun Doc carried at the beginning of the shooting as a "very large pistol." Positioned clear across the street from the vacant lot, she was more than 75 feet away. From that distance, it would be relatively easy to mistake a short-barrelled shotgun, it's stock concealed by the forearm of the man carrying it, as a "very large pistol."
Hatch's testimony is more difficult to deal with. By 1881, non-plated handguns had, for years, been blued rather than browned. That is, the surface color of a non-plated pistol would have appeared dark blue, not "brown." A nickel-plated revolver, on the other hand, would have a bright reflective quality. It is difficult to see how such a weapon could ever take on a "brown" appearance. Since shotgun barrels were still being "browned," Hatch's memory may simply have played a trick on him, transposing the color of the scattergun's barrel onto his mental image of Holliday's handgun. Another possibility would be that Doc carried two pistols into the streetfight, one nickel-plated, the other browned. However, no supporting evidence or testimony has ever surfaced supporting this possibility..
Did Doc Holliday and Morgan Earp fire the opening shots in the street fight?
The cowboys steadfastly claimed Doc Holliday and Morgan Earp opened fire on the Clanton/McLaury group without any provocation whatsoever. Ike Clanton, said when the Earps and Doc Holliday reached the cowboys, "They pulled their pistols as soon as they got there. . . ." Virgil Earp ordered the cowboys to "Throw up your hands!" With this, someone, possibly Wyatt, yelled out, "You sons-of-bitches have been looking for a fight and now you can have it!" To this, Billy Clanton replied, "Don't shoot me. I don't want to fight!" and "Tom McLaury threw open his coat saying, ĹI haven't got anything, boys, I am disarmedĺ"( testimony of William Claibourne). Ike claimed both he and Frank McLaury held up their hands in complete and immediate submission in response to the Marshalĺs order..
At this moment, Sheriff Behan became preoccupied with a nickel-plated pistol held, he believed, by Doc Holliday. He later recalled, "My attention was directed to the nickel-plated pistol for a couple of seconds. The nickel-plated pistol was the first to fire. . . ." Another observer, Billy Allen, was standing out on Fremont Street. He supported the Sheriff's pronouncement. "I think it was Doc Holliday who fired first. Their backs were to me. I was behind them. The smoke came from him."
Standing in the vacant lot, as the shooting erupted, William Claiborne contended, "the shooting commenced, right then, in an instant, by Doc Holliday and Morgan Earp--the two shots were fired so close together it was hard to distinguish them." When the shooting started, Wes Fuller was deeper in the lot than Claiborne. He agreed that "Morg Earp and Doc Holliday fired the first two shots. . . ." Finally, Ike Clanton, himself, unequivocally declared, "The first shots were fired by Holliday and Morgan Earp."
Given the consistency of the witnesses claiming Doc started the gunfight, why didnĺt their claims prevail?
The case against Doc and the Earps failed for several reasons.
1) Sheriff Behan's obsession with Holliday's nickel-plated pistol was undermined by his inability to account for Doc's use of a shotgun. Clearly, Virgil handed Holliday the shotgun before the Earps left Fourth and Allen. Martha King testified she saw Doc carrying it. Had Behan focused on a shotgun as it was aimed and fired, his testimony would have been much more compelling. As it is, the cowboy account of the fight requires us to believe Holliday carried the shotgun but, instead of initially using it, for some mysterious reason, Doc pulled his pistol, fired it, returned it to his pocket, fired the scattergun, and then, once again retrieved his pistol to finish off the fight.
This cumbersome scenario is too convoluted to be convincing. And its oddness only increases if Billy Allen's testimony is accepted at face value. Allen was the only prosecution eyewitness at Wells Spicer's hearing to distinctly acknowledge the firing of a shotgun in the opening salvo. Remember, Allen said the smoke from the first shot "came from" Holliday. He added, "I could not tell who fired the second shot, they came in such quick succession. I think the first was a pistol shot and the next a double barrel shotgun." But Holliday had the shotgun!
2) While the four prosecution witnesses all agreed that Doc fired one of the opening shots, they contradicted each other on who Holliday actually shot at. Behan said, "the nickel-plated pistol was pointed at one of the party. I think at Billy Clanton." Yet, Claiborne claimed, "Doc Holliday shot at Tom McLaury and Morgan Earp shot at Billy Clanton." Finally, Ike asserted, "Morgan Earp shot William Clanton, and I don't know which one of the McLaury boys Holliday shot at. He shot at one of them."
The problem with Ike's story is that he also testified he was standing at the northwest corner of Fly's building with Wyatt Earp directly in front of him. Clanton claimed that immediately upon Wyatt's arrival, "He shoved his pistol up against my belly and told me to throw up my hands." So, with Doc Holliday, Billy Clanton and both McLaury brothers all admittedly to his rear, and with Wyatt Earp actively pressing a six-shooter into his ribs, Ike Clanton would have us believe he clearly saw what was transpiring behind him. At this point, Clanton's testimony begins to lose credibility.
3) The failure of the cowboys to offer any clear motive for the alleged unprovoked shooting also hurt their case. Under cross examination, Ike Clanton made a series of preposterous assertions. First, he claimed the Earps and Doc Holliday had "piped off" money from the Benson stage before it had even left Tombstone. This was the stagecoach which was attacked by would-be robbers on the night of March 15, 1881, when the driver and a passenger were killed. The problem with Clanton's tale was that no money was taken in the attempted hold-up, and no money was found to be missing. So, the "piping-off" story is an amazingly transparent pipe dream.
Second, Clanton next said Wyatt was so worried about hold-up men Leonard, Head, and Crane implicating the Earps and Holliday in the failed robbery, should they ever be apprehended, that he offered Ike the reward money if Clanton would set up the trio for the Earps to kill. But why would Earp need Ike's help to find members of Wyattĺs own gang? That puzzle illustrates the increasingly bizarre quality of Ike Clanton's contentions.
Third, Ike claimed that while trying to enlist Clanton's services, Wyatt freely admitted his part in the aborted stage heist. Then, seemingly out of the blue, Doc Holliday confided to Ike that it was he (Holliday) who had killed the stage driver. Then, on yet another occasion, Morgan Earp advised Clanton about the previous "piping off" of money from that particular stagecoach. Finally, Virgil Earp conveniently admitted how he had thrown the posse pursuing the would be robbers off the real trail.
All in all, according to Ike Clanton, the Earps and Doc Holliday were so terrified of being found-out that they inanely confided in him all the nefarious secrets which motivated them to want Leonard, Head And Crane silenced in the first place! Thus it was the very same fear of being found out which finally compelled the Earps to attempt Ikeĺs murder at the streetfight. That this alleged "motive" failed to explain why Ike was allowed to survive seemed to elude Clanton's consideration. When Ike Clanton spewed this twisted tale of cockeyed intrigue, he lost his credibility, and the case against the Earps and Doc Holliday collapsed.
So, how did the "Gunfight at the O. K. Corral" transpire?
The shootout seems to have unfolded something like this: As Virgil and Wyatt Earp entered the vacant lot, Morgan Earp and Doc Holliday remained out on Fremont Street. Holding Holliday's cane in his right hand, Virgil Earp surveyed the scene. Billy Clanton and Frank McLaury wore six-shooters at their sides. Seeing Tom McLaury resting a hand on a rifle housed in a scabbard on Billy Clanton's horse, Doc Holliday stepped up, threw back his overcoat and leveled his shotgun. The City Marshal spoke. "Throw up your hands boys, I intend to disarm you!"
Frank McLaury replied, "We will." But, instead of reaching for the sky, he grabbed his pistol, causing Wyatt Earp to draw his own revolver from his overcoat pocket. Blind to Frank McLaury's move and believing his party to be under attack, Billy Clanton reacted by jerking his shooter, cross-draw style, with his right hand from his left hip.
With two cowboys clearing leather, a frantic Virgil Earp flung both arms up and bellowed, "Hold on, I don't want that!" Two shots exploded nearly as one. Wyatt's shot busted into Frank McLaury's gut, just left of the navel. Billy's shot went wide of the mark, passing between Wyatt and Morgan Earp. Virgil Earp switched Holliday's cane to his left hand and reached across his body to retrieve the pistol from his waistband on his left hip. As Virgil's weapon appeared, Frank fired his first shot, hitting the City Marshal in the right calf and dropping him. Stunned by the sudden shooting, Ike Clanton sprang at Wyatt Earp, grabbing Earp's pistol hand with his own left hand and wrapping his right arm around Wyatt's shoulder. With Ike and Wyatt wrestling, Billy Clanton couldn't get another clear shot off at Wyatt before Morgan fired, hitting Billy two inches beneath the left nipple, collapsing his lung.
Virgil was back up on his feet now, firing his first shot at Frank, the man who had wounded him. Under fire, Frank staggered toward Fremont Street. Johnny Behan testified, "Frank McLaury shot twice towards Fly's building, and he started across the street." One of McLaury's shots cut through Wyatt Earp's coat and lodged into the side of Fly's building. Behan described Frank's second shot: "I saw him shoot at Morgan Earp, and from the direction of the pistol, I should say he hit the ground." At long last Wyatt pushed Ike off, saying, " The fight has commenced. Go to fighting or get away."
Shots popped all about as Morgan Earp screamed, "I've got it, Wyatt!" and keeled over. A bullet had gouged through one of Morg's shoulder blades, skimmed across his back, and exited out the other shoulder. Taking advantage of the distraction, Ike scooted behind Wyatt and clambered through Fly's front door.
Through all this, Doc Holliday had been waiting, trying to get a clear bead on Tom McLaury. Billy Clanton's horse had bolted forward at the first shot and blocked a clean shot. Reading the situation and believing it was Tom who had wounded Morg, Wyatt fired a shot, hitting Billy's horse and making it break away. As McLaury reached out toward the animal, Doc pumped twelve buckshot under the right armpit of the cowboy. McLaury spun around and bound away toward the corner of Third Street, where he crumpled down in a heap. Thinking he had missed a sure shot, Holliday threw the scattergun down in disgust, yanked his nickel-plated pistol and fired two quick rounds at Billy Clanton who was leaning against the corner of the small building just west of Fly's.
By now, Morgan Earp was back up and also shooting at Billy. Inside the lot, Virgil and Wyatt joined in making young Clanton their primary target. Out on Fremont Street, Frank McLaury still held the lines of his horse. The effects of Wyatt's shot were readily apparent. Butcher James Kehoe saw McLaury through his store window and later recalled, "During the engagement, he seemed (to) stagger and shoot wild and act dizzy." Finally, Frank's horse pulled away and ran off.
But all of the Earps were focused on Billy Clanton. Hit in his right arm, Billy switched his shooter to his left hand and continued to shoot. Hit again, six inches right of his navel, Billy squatted down on the ground, braced his revolver across his knee, and fired again and again. It seemed as if his pistol was firing itself. As Wyatt edged out of the lot, on to the street, he heard what he took to be a gunshot coming from behind him, apparently from the alleyway east of Fly's.
"Look out Morg, you're getting it in the back!" Wyatt yelled. Twisting quickly, Morgan Earp tripped and fell over a mound of earth covering a recently installed water pipe. Looking up he was surprised to see Frank McLaury facing off against Doc Holliday. After Holliday had fired at Billy, he noticed McLaury nearly across the street. Carefully, and unnoticed, he had circled around the wobbly Frank, covering nearly fifty feet. Having started the fight near the north-west corner of the vacant lot, Doc was now way out in the middle of the roadway and north-east of the lot. Finally, Frank became acutely aware of Holliday. Bob Hatch watching the confrontation from Bauer's Market, later recalled that McLaury "stopped and stood with a pistol across his arm, in the act of shooting; his pistol in his right hand and resting on his left arm."
"I've got you now," McLaury challenged.
"Blaze away! You're a daisy if you have," countered Holliday. (Daily Nugget, Oct 27, 1881)
Frank McLaury's gun flashed. Its bullet hit Doc's pistol pocket and skinned across his hindquarters. As McLaury fired, both Holliday and Morgan Earp, now sitting up out in the street, also squeezed their triggers. Morg's bullet caught the cowboy under the right ear, pulverized his brain stem and slammed Frank's body sideways, heel over head. Sheriff Behan heard Morgan triumphantly yell out, "I got him!" The Nugget would report that Doc's shot hit McLaury dead in the heart. But, Coroner Matthews failed to indicate any such wound in his official report.
At the northwest corner of the lot, Billy Clanton vainly sought to continue the fight. C. H. Light later reported that Billy "tried to fire...but apparently was too weak. The shot went into the air." A pall of smoke folded over Fremont Street as photographer C. S. Fly sprang from his house brandishing a Henry rifle. As Billy pleaded for more cartridges, Fly snatched the six-shooter from the dying boy's grip. Immediate estimates said the shooting lasted a mere thirty seconds. To those involved, it must have seemed an eternity.
The popular image of Doc Holliday as a man racing toward death with little regard for those he takes with him isn't borne out by his conduct at the O.K. Corral gunfight. Instead, his actions seem measured if not restrained. Positioned out on Fremont Street as back-up to the brothers Earp, he fully met the responsibilities of that assignment. Instead of initiating an unprovoked and unmotivated onslaught, he patiently covered the flank of the City Marshal.
If Tom McLaury was unarmed, Doc could not have known it. As McLaury reached out towards the fleeing animal, Doc Holliday couldn't tell if Tom's intent was to maintain the horse as a shield, or to access the rifle housed on the terrified mount. Doc instinctively fired twelve buckshot into the cowboy's right side. One thing is certain. McLaury's fatal wound, located under the right armpit could never have been received had he actually been facing the City Marshal and holding open the lapels of his vest or coat as Ike Clanton testified. Tom McLaury was actively reaching out in front of his person and facing Fremont Street when hit. His wound's position confirms Wyatt Earp's account of Tom's shooting far better than it does Ike Clanton's.
After the shooting of Tom McLaury, and before the final stand-off with Frank McLaury, the only shots attributed to Doc Holliday were two rounds directed at Billy Clanton. The witness who detailed those shots was C. H. Light, who saw the shooting from the Aztec House, on the northwest corner of Third and Fremont. Clearly, then, Doc didn't become locked-in on Billy. He remained alert enough to what was going on around him to take notice of the still dangerous Frank McLaury.
Finally, Doc's careful stalking of Frank McLaury showed remarkable patience. Doc Holliday had to have walked nearly fifty feet from his original position at the start of the gunfight, to his final location at shootingĺs end. This wasn't the action of an out-of-control "bullet-spitting" terror. This was the considered and deliberate approach of a cautious warrior. No doubt about it. Doc Holliday could be a royal demon when on a rampage. However, on October 26, 1881, near the O.K. Corral, when called on to support the City Marshal, he was the right man in the right place.
