1950: James Corbitt, the hangman's mate
November 28th, 2008 Headsman
On this date in 1950, famed British executioner Albert Pierrepoint carried out his most difficult assignment: hanging his friend.
Though not literally the Isles' last hangman, Pierrepoint is the last one everyone thinks of, the man who defined the hangman's job for the 20th century.
Discreet, orderly, and as quiet as he was efficient,* he was the brand-name executioner for stiff-upper-lip England of the waning empire, with over 400** hangings to his name from 1932 until he resigned over a fee dispute in 1956.
Despite his proper avoidance of the spotlight, Pierrepoint's excellence at his craft would make him a celebrity — especially after the press fixated on his role hanging Nazi war criminals after World War II. The ready-made morality play upon the scaffold boards could hardly be resisted: the English grocer, meting out a dignified and precise measure of justice to the likes of the Beast of Belsen.
Hanging Around
Pierrepoint's characteristic client wasn't a war criminal, but a humdrum British murderer, only a handful of which attract especial remembrance today.
Still, in the immediate postwar years, the growing reach of the mass media and burgeoning public controversy over the death penalty would frequently put Pierrepoint in the middle of the era's highest-profile hangings, including:
Ruth Ellis, the last woman executed in England
Derek Bentley, a cause celebre 1953 hanging who was posthumously pardoned in 1998
Michael Manning, the last hanging in Ireland
Serial killer John George Haigh, the "Acid Bath murderer"
British traitors Lord Haw Haw and John Amery
Timothy John Evans, a horrifying wrongful conviction … and the real murderer three years later
Tish and Tosh
Like as not, this day's affair hit the sturdy hangman harder than any of those.
James Henry Corbitt was a regular at "Help the Poor Struggler", the piquantly named Oldham pub Pierrepoint bought and managed after World War II. Known as "Tish" to Pierrepont's "Tosh," the two had sung a duet of "Danny Boy" on the night that Corbitt went out and murdered his girlfriend in a jealous rage.
Corbitt was not exceptional as a criminal, and he was indisputably guilty; we wouldn't notice him if not for his acquaintance with the man who put him to death.
But Pierrepoint would remember this one well, as he later wrote in his his autobiography:
I thought if any man had a deterrent to murder poised before him, it was this troubadour whom I called Tish. He was not only aware of the rope, he had the man who handled it beside him singing a duet. The deterrent did not work.
Remarkably, the most prolific executioner in British history had come out against the death penalty, or so it seemed. (He later backed away from a strong anti-death penalty position, though without retracting his original reservations. The death penalty had been a decade off the books by this point, in any case.)
It is I who have faced them last, young lads and girls, working men and grandmothers.
I have been amazed to see the courage with which they walk into the unknown.
It did not deter them then and it had not deterred them when they committed what they were convicted for. All the men and women I have faced at that final moment convince me that in what I have done I have not prevented a single murder. And if death does not work to deter one person, it should not be held to deter any … capital punishment, in my view, achieved nothing except revenge.
It's an open question how much Tish's hanging this day really contributed to Pierrepoint's retirement six years later or his apparent change of stance on his trade. But it provides the gut-wrenching dramatic pivot for the film Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman. (Enjoy the Chinese subtitles. The sequence where Pierrepoint hangs Corbitt begins right about the 70:00 mark.)
Interestingly, while the hangman saw in Corbitt's fate a troubling indictment of the death penalty, the hanged man's son to this day still says dad deserved to die.
More on Albert Pierrepoint
For a man so ubiquitously present in the mid-century experience of Great Britain, and who undertook such a dramatic volte-face, it's no surprise that Pierrepoint has attracted plenty of attention — including this website, and a number of books.
Also of possible interest: Hangmen of England: History of Execution from Jack Ketch to Albert Pierrepoint (we've met Jack Ketch here before). More dry factual data about Pierrepoint, the father and uncle who preceded him in the post, and other recent practitioners in Britain's colorful line of executioners is here.
* The English practice was for Pierrepoint to pinion the prisoner's arms in the condemned cell, escort him a few steps into a hanging chamber, hood him, and execute the sentence without further ceremony. The whole process took mere seconds — a record fast seven seconds from cell door to trap door in the case of James Inglis — which Pierrepoint seems to have had a gift for dignifying in his (usual) silence with a sort of calming paternal assurance.
Pierrepoint hanged six American soldiers under the auspices of U.S. military forces deployed to England during the Second World War, and confessed to considerable discomfort with that entity's protracted pre-hanging procedures that had him standing on the scaffold with the condemned man for several minutes.
* And perhaps well over 600 hangings; the figures are disputed.

The very idea that the death penalty is a deterrent is horribly misplaced. How does execution deter the person who committed the crime? It doesn't.
Does the death penalty deter anyone from a crime worthy of execution? NO! Just as prisons do not deter thieves, sex offenders, liars, and others guilty of their crimes.
So, we must ask ourselves what purpose do prisons serve? They separate criminals from those of us free and place them in positions where they no longer are.
What purpose does execution serve? It's purpose is threefold: first, it follows the law; second, it stops the criminal from committing any further crimes; and third, is meant to provide the most severe form of punishment.
Equating capital punishment with the same thing as a "Do Not Touch – Wet Paint" sign is foolish.
Would I want to be an executioner? I don't believe I have what it takes to be one. An executioner's job is an operation of law.
Why call an executioner a murderer? He/she is only carrying out that portion of the law that requires the condemned to face the punishment of his or her crime.
An executioner is no more a murderer than the jury that convicted or the judge that pronounced sentence or the warden where the execution takes place.
Finally, abolishing capital punishment goes against the grain of the law. For every form of capital punishment the state invokes, there will be a host of those opposed to it as cruel & unusual or inhumane.
Was Mr. Pierrepoint a bad man? No, though I'm convinced he felt bad about some of his work. Was he a murderer? Hardly.

Previewing Poly Auction
This Spring, Poly Auction Hong Kong will bring forward an artistic feast of Chinese Art, from the classical paintings and Calligraphy to the Modern and Contemporary masterpieces.
Among the masterworks is Zeng Fanzhi's Mask Series, created in the transitional year of 2000, when the artist's aesthetic focus changed from mere narratives to exploring emotions. Also a starring in the sale is Sanyu's Prunus Branches in a Green Landscape, returning to the auction room after spending fifty years in private collections. We would be remiss not to mention Peony, which demonstrates Zhang Daqian's mature style of "slashed-ink-and-color," as well asthe lines and colors of Wu Guanzhong's Snowscape in Beijing, an amalgamation of Chinese and western techniques. Last but not least, don't miss the historic handscroll The Little Red Chamber, painted by Xu Xiang and inscribed by 80 scholars, which shows the literati affiliation in the early Qing dynasty (1644-1911).
Other highlights of the season include a group of important contemporary ink artists such as Li Jin, Xu Lei, and Hao Liang. The sales will go under hammer on the 6th and 7th of April, 2014, at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong Grand Ballroom.

Sotheby's Warhol Record
A day after Christie's sold a Francis Bacon for a record-setting $142.4 million, rival Sotheby's countered by setting an auction record for an Andy Warhol work. The Pop Art legend's monumental "Silver Car Crash (Double Disaster)" sold to an unidentified telephone bidder for $105.4 million, well over its $60 million estimate. Silver Car Crash has previously been owned by collectors such as Charles Saatchi, Thomas Ammann, and German millionaire playboy Gunter Sachs.
The price surpassed Warhol's previous $71.7 million record set in 2007 for a smaller "Green Car Crash."
"Global participation was evident throughout the sale," said Alex Rotter, Sotheby's head of contemporary art in New York. "When the quality is there, multiple people from different cultural backgrounds are going for it, because it's outstanding."
Over the past 2 nights, the postwar and contemporary art evening auctions totaled almost $1.1 billion.

text: With tired comparisons to Pavement and Radiohead, Grandaddy has fought to establish a distinctive sound, fusing organic and mechanical elements into synth-drenched atmospheric pop. Unfortunately, artistically definitive characteristics lend themselves to becoming irritating idiosyncrasies. While as a whole, Todd Zilla boasts a considerably less pop-centric sound than their previous disc, Sumday, less pop doesn't necessarily yield more substance, as the disc suffers from over-the-top simplicity. Whereas previously, this sense of sameness formed a dreamy, cohesive quality, on Todd Zilla the concept backfires into the painful realm of extreme repetitiveness. As for the band's trademark technological quirks, they too become compromised as beeps and melodic clicks are traded in for old-school, grey-box Nintendo sound effects. At least it's only an EP. If anything, Grandaddy fans will have a 2006 full-length release to look forward to, hoping that through it, the band proves to possess enough raw talent and creative stretch to live up to their lofty counterparts once and for all.

I just watched Dave Chappelle quit stand up. Out in the Comcast Theater in Hartford, Connecticut, shivering in the open air, I can't think that this is anything else. I felt this coming just five minutes after the silver curtain had dropped dramatically, by which point the former Comedy Central star had barely gotten any jokes out. We all knew it was five minutes because, with an edge in his voice, Chappelle had ticked off the time.
The Oddball "Funny or Die" tour was supposed to be Chappelle's big return to stand up (again). Shorty after taking the stage—to our massive applause—someone in the front interrupted to ask if he was back for real this time. He answered "Yes." We all cheered.
He had started with some Paula Deen jokes that went over well when he had to stop again. Maybe it was his gratuitous use of the N-word to a mostly White audience. Maybe it was the overpriced beer that, to my amazement, everyone seemed to keep buying. Whatever it was, there was a palpable change. The crowd got rowdier, louder, ruder. Folks started calling out random references to his past work (he informed us that if we ever see him in a Half Baked sequel, that means he's run completely out of money) and, most bizarrely, his 2006 Oprah interview.
After engaging some of the heckling politely, Chappelle had enough. "I've been up here a while now and I thought it was me but now I 'm sure it's you. There is definitely something wrong with you." he told us. In other words, 'shut up and let me perform.' Not many did. Finally, he gave up and took his cigarettes and his water and sat on stage.
The crowd got worse. People were booing, jeering. I heard a woman yell something that was drowned out by a guy near me screaming "DAVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEE" for the umpteenth time. But Dave hears her.
"Times like this, I wonder where Katt Williams is." He sips his water and stares at us meaningfully. There is a hush. The jeers begin again.
When he decided he would not be doing the show, he responded to a voice in the crowd: "I'm going to have to read about this sh*t for months."
And he will—and none of the reports will be fair. They will include bare facts; At the Hartford show, Dave Chappelle DID sit down and read an excerpt from an audience member's book. At the Hartford show, Dave Chappelle DID give the crowd the middle finger and tell us that we sucked ("You are booing yourself. I want you to go home and look in the mirror and say 'boo,' that's how I feel about you.")
I doubt many will say the audience deserved it. I doubt they will quote Dave or say that he warned the audience. That he began to discuss a larger, historical issue: the Black entertainer and White consumption.
I'm writing this to be fair: it needs to be written, it needs to be read. It needs to be understood.
Dave Chappelle walked off stage tonight and Black people understand why.
Being in that crowd, a sea of drunk White male faces and seeing Chappelle sit there and be jeered at made me uncomfortable. Heckling isn't uncommon for comedians but often when a comedian as famous as Chappelle puts their foot down, it is usually respected.
While the racial makeup of the crowd was incidental, the way they treated Chappelle is not. It speaks to a long complicated history: the relationship between the White audience and the Black entertainer. This is a relationship you can easily trace to early minstrel shows, to archetypes of Blacks that still define the roles we're offered today. We have seen more Black comedians bow to racist tropes, demean themselves—albeit unintentionally—for White audiences.
Chappelle wasn't having a meltdown. This was a Black artist shrugging the weight of White consumption, deciding when enough was enough. This isn't the first time Chappelle has done so and it isn't the first time his behavior has been characterized as a meltdown.
There is a long history of asking African-Americans to endure racism silently; it's characterized as grace, as strength. Chappelle's Connecticut audience, made up of largely young White males, demanded a shuck and jive. Men who seemed to have missed the fine satire of the Chappelle show demanded he do characters who, out of the context of the show look more like more racist tropes, than mockery of America's belief in them.
When he expressed shock at the fact that he'd sat there and been yelled at for so long, people yelled that they'd paid him. They felt paying for a show meant they could verbally harass him, direct him in any tone of voice, as though they'd bought him.
After his first "meltdown," Chappelle said he left his show because he wasn't sure if he was being laughed with or at. Seeing him walk off that stage last night, I think he'd decided on the answer. They had been missing his message, they weren't laughing with him. And I'm glad to see that in Connecticut, he had the courage to laugh back.

It's back to the drawing board for Waco City Council members on a new dance hall ordinance that's caused quite a bit of controversy.
Back in June police proposed a new ordinance to cut down noise complaints from residents who live near night clubs. Frustrated club owners said minorities who own clubs are being mistreated by police while other night club owners aren't.
On Tuesday council members looked at a revised version of the ordinance that would require club owners to get a license to rent their club as well as a certificate of occupancy.
Club owners who get denied a license would also be given a reason on their application. Zoning was also discussed among council members.
Club owner of "Crush," Randy Gobber, says these new guidelines would make it harder for minority club owners to get licenses to operate.
"No it's not an improvement, they can just deny you right on the spot," explained Gobber. "My building was up to code and they still denied me so it doesn't have anything to do with the building, it has to do with the person."
At the end of the discussion council members said the new ordinance was too complex to understand. City officials said they needed clarity on the new ordinance before they will enforce it on night clubs in Waco.

Vote of the week: Do you eat lunch early or late when visiting a theme park?
Written by Robert Niles
A long-standing piece of advice from Theme Park Insider readers has been to eat lunch in a theme park either early or late, in order to avoid the mealtime crowds and possibly take advantage of (slightly) shorter lines at the attractions as everyone else moves to the restaurants.Tweet
But which is it: Do you eat early, or late?
A Disneyland lunch favorite: The Monte Cristo sandwich
That's this week's vote. I'd like to hear your best strategy for handling eating at mid-day. Do you eat early? Do you eat late? Do you not eat at all? Or do you insist on eating between noon and 1pm, no matter the crowds?
I understand that your strategy might depend upon the park you're visiting. So tell us what you do most often.
Yet if I'm just making it a half-day visit, I'll arrive at opening, ride through lunch, then go for a late lunch outside the park, after 1 or so. So I could go either way on this. Okay, forget I wrote anything. I'm a horrible source for this one. :^(
So let's hear some better advice from you, in the comments.
Readers' Opinions
From Nick Dakuginow on February 11, 2011 at 8:54 AM
I usually try and wait until later to eat at a counter service restaurant. However, I'm going to the Magic Kingdom tomorrow and plan on eating at Pecos Bill early, around 11 am or so. Then go and get a Dole Whip Float and park hop. I figure that'll hold us over until later on and it'll be better to have something in our stomach.
From Daniel Etcheberry on February 11, 2011 at 9:20 AM
I eat between 2 and 3. My strategy is to ride my favorite rides first, then enjoy my lunch, and finally ride one or two minor rides afterward.
From Anthony Murphy on February 11, 2011 at 10:02 AM
I go as early as possible so that I can eat dinner later. Thats usually my plan at parks such as EPCOT.
From 126.96.36.199 on February 11, 2011 at 10:24 AM
I eat around 11.30am then treat myself to a snack around 3pm. That usually tides me over until aroung 7.30pm when I am to have dinner
From 18.104.22.168 on February 11, 2011 at 10:26 AM
We usually skip lunch because we have had a character/buffet breakfast and that holds us over until our special dinner. Again buffet/character Dinner
From Eli Katzman on February 11, 2011 at 12:02 PM
it all depends for me- how long i've been at the park, how badly i want to do something like ride a coaster (o' course), or something of that matter. I think the earliest i've eaten was probably about 11:30, latest was about 4:30
From 220.127.116.11 on February 11, 2011 at 12:14 PM
I am very encourage to see that so far later is beating 45% - 36% early. Since our family gets to the park at opening we eat very little at breakfast a snack or some fruits, then by 11 a.m. or 11:30 we are really hungry already. So the "earlier" we eat the best! It works really well too, since people are just arriving in higher numbers as you are exiting the eatery. So right now 9% more people eating later means 9% less people eating at the same time as me... Which is great!!
From Mike Gallagher on February 11, 2011 at 12:25 PM
Later, probably between 4-6 pm..IF I do eat in the park or nearby. Otherwise,it's a big breakfast and something when I leave the park. At Great Adventure, I'll often bring sandwiches and drinks in a cooler in the car, and open that 4-6 window above.
From Joshua Counsil on February 11, 2011 at 1:06 PM
Big breakfast, get to the park early, leave in the mid-afternoon, snack and cocktails at the hotel, back to the park for the evening and a late dinner.
So, late lunch or snack.
From Will Chilcote on February 11, 2011 at 4:48 PM
I go for a late lunch.
But, at Disneyland/California Adventure i leave the park for Downtown Disney around 1 or so and go to one of the many restaurants there. I personally have been disappointed with the restaurants in both of the parks. The food in Downtown Disney is cheaper and the quality is better.
From James Rao on February 11, 2011 at 5:19 PM
If visiting a theme park, I usually accomplish early headliner touring, leave the park for lunch (when visiting the Magic Kingdom the Contempo Cafe is an excellent option even at high noon), then return for the rest of the night (usually having a late dinner in the park).
If visiting a thrill park, I generally just snack on hard-to-mess-up-items (like pretzels) until dinner, then I leave the park, eat a good, sit down meal, and return for a few night time coaster rides.
From David Sutter on February 11, 2011 at 5:37 PM
I opt for a late luch around 2 or so. At the Magic Kingdom its the Dinninghall upstairsin the castle. I never had a porblem getting a reseservation for that day. The foods above average, the staff is great. And its a nice rest from the crowed park. And the price is only slightly higher then a grab aqnd go counter service. At The Studios it Mama Melroses all the way. Epcot, ANyone will work out great. Animal Kigdom..Why? RainFOrrest Cafe lunch ..Im there.
From chris cona on February 11, 2011 at 9:35 PM
All you have to do is eat a big breakfast and eat a big dinner (probaly a buffet my style). These will save you time in lunch lines and ride times so you can have fun with your family, friends or who ever is with you
From 188.8.131.52 on February 11, 2011 at 11:58 PM
I don't like to spend prime morning time eating breakfast, and prefer to get to the park before opening time. I either grab a free continental breakfast in the hotel or bring easy breakfast items like instant oatmeal and fruit cups. By 11:30 the park is getting crowded and I'm getting hungry, so an early lunch is perfect timing!
From Roxanne Price on February 12, 2011 at 5:20 PM
If we're staying at a hotel, we eat a light breakfast in the room and get to the park at opening. Then leave the park to go to a buffet serving breakfast at about 11 am. Most buffet breakfasts are far cheaper, we've eaten for $4/person even though it's almost noon. (I've got an active boy with a hollow leg, so buffets are great!) So - brunch? Relax in the air conditioning before returning to the park.
From 184.108.40.206 on February 13, 2011 at 3:23 PM
Eatong breakfase in the room is a must....saves money but most importantly of all saves time which could be be spent in the parks!
From 184.108.40.206 on February 13, 2011 at 8:47 PM
The ONLY time i eat a early to nroaml lunch 12noon to be exact is when I go to hearshey. Cause after lunch U just chill in the waterpark. When going with friends and some of there family I eat somtimes do not even eat lunch because U pick all day on the snacks so that would make me a on the go snack guy also. also If I do typicly eat lunch 9/10 times I eat it LATE in the day it substitutes as a LUNCH/DINNER typicly I prefer later becsue after lunch I do not feel like inverting or spinning anymore for like a long time after.

Madhubani Magic of Gangadevi
By Aditi De; Illustration by Sudheer Nath
Face to face, Gangadevi, seemed shy at first glance. She drew the pallav (the border of the sari) of her brightly coloured cotton sari over her head, and pushed her black-rimmed spectacles firmly onto the bridge of her nose.
Gangadevi had just returned to India after attending the Festival of India in the United States. Her mind was alive with all the strange scenes she had seen, the people she had met, and she needed to record all her experiences on paper. Gangadevi had just been honoured with a National Award for Crafts by the Indian government.
Before our eyes, we watched America reborn through Gangadevi's vision. She dipped her quill into a pot of black ink, and quickly put it to grainy, handmade paper. Black lines emerged as tall skyscrapers, with an upright rectangular shape within. What could it be? A lift, with a hat topped, shoe-clad man in it! Soon, we watched a long car, almost as long as the road whiz by. Women in knee-length skirts and men in checked shirts tucked into jeans, with young kids in tow, appeared on the scene through Gangadevi's drawing.
Gangadevi was born in the Mithila region of Bihar. She lived all her life in the region. What made her special was the unique gift she possessed - her magical fingers. Fingers, which drew absolutely spectacular line drawings of the myths and religious symbols of India.
This gift is not unique to Gangadevi alone. For over three thousand years, women in the Mithila region have been painting such beautiful sketches.
Maybe it has something to do with the historic value and beauty of Mithila. "Mithila," Gangadevi revealed, "once stretched from the right bank of the Ganga to the foot of the Himalayas, one of the first kingdoms of eastern India. Both the Buddha and Mahavira, founders of Buddhism and Jainism respectively, were born in the Mithila region."
Most of the 30 million people who live in the Mithila region are farmers. The soil is fertile, and crops include wheat, rice, lentils and sugarcane. Early visitors loved its lush greenness so much that they called it Madhubani or the 'forest of honey.'
Gangadevi's paintings too are referred to as Madhubani. Few things best portray the beauty, lushness and colour of the region, as her paintings.
But why are women the painters here? It could be because Mithila is a matriarchal society, where daughters inherit the property from their mothers. The social conventions that bind girls in other parts of India from expressing themselves, do not apply here. Though poor, the girls of Mithila are encouraged to paint freely.

The Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show (SCIBS) is an annual four-day event which attracts buyers and marine industry representatives from across Australia and around the globe. Staged at the idyllically situated marine residential community of Sanctuary Cove on Queensland's Gold Coast, the event is located at the centre of the leisure boat building industry in Australia. The Gold Coast region boasts above-average boat ownership, exceptional waterways and marine infrastructure, and a penchant for the boating lifestyle.
The location for the exhibition site is The Marine Village; home to a 330 berth marina within the heart of Australia's multi-award winning residential community. The Marine Village is a bustling marina community comprising shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and essential services as well as a 5-star resort hotel and two championship golf courses. It's this vibrant backdrop which presents boats and products their element, enhancing the visitor experience and conveying the appeal of the boating way of life.
On display each year are thousands of boating brands, products and services – on the marina, in the pavilions and through The Marine Village. As well as a range of the latest in power, sail, multihulls, super yachts, trailerable boats for fishing and family fun, ski boats, tenders, jet skis, inflatables and tinnies, there are also a myriad of lifestyle products that complement the marine and outdoors way of life.
In 2013, Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show achieved a major milestone – 25 years of delivering great results for exhibitors and promoting Australian ingenuity and innovation to visiting international delegations. SCIBS is unique. As well as being a strong consumer event, it has positioned itself as Australia's only comprehensive marine trade display.
As the show where the marine business does business, SCIBS has become a must-attend event for boat builders, OEM suppliers, designers, and materials and equipment retailers who are at the show seeking import/export opportunities, distributors and retail customers.

How To Make Your Own Wood Coasters
Happy Serendipity
I just ran across this great little DIY for wood coasters that can also be used for wall decor. It is a simple and stylish way to add a little something unique to your table. Follow me to find out more.
You begin with purchasing slices of birch from a craft or flower shop and deciding on your artwork, try using simple silhouettes, text or a mixture of the two. Then you trace your graphic through carbon paper onto your wood. Your last step is to outline and paint your image. If you will use them for coasters you might want to put a layer of polyurethane or acrylic spray on them to keep them looking bright, new and lovely.
See more at Happy Serendipity.

Yes, carbon paper is still available and if you look in art supply stores, you'll see them in sizes much bigger than 8-1/2 x 11. Did a couple of table sized copies back in the day.
If you put a sealant on the coasters, remember to do it on both sides. Doing it on one side only may cause it to warp. Do a couple of light coats, rather than one heavy coat. If you're using oil based poly, dilute it with naptha 50-50 to get a wash coat: it soaks into the fibers. Then over coat with undiluted poly for the 2nd and 3rd coats.
I love the idea of using birch. Hope to try this soon. I also love that you used carbon paper to trace the letters. Now my mind is racing with all the other possibilities for carbon paper.
If you want them to be effective coasters and not scratch the daylights out of your table surfaces, you need to attach felt to the back of the wood. Don't use silicone or rubber dots, they can have a chemical reaction with the table's finish and leave small holes in the finish.
This is soo cute! Great idea. :) -http://www.jrsalescorp.com/
i used a slice off our christmas tree trunk to make our grandsons christmas ornament..... used wood burning tool, drill and paint...ready made slice may have been easier!

- NiceReview by Mack
- I just got a pair of these a couple of days ago. They are nice and light, I do not have any problems with slippage, used both cycling and running (45 miles on the bike, 6.5 for the run) Changing the lenses is pretty easy. The RX adapter is hard to come by, I will be trying to get one of those so I can add my rx, hopefully that does not affect the weight/balance to much. The lenses are not quite optically perfect, but they do not have a as much distortion as I was expecting. Overall a really nice pair of glasses. (Posted on 9/23/13)

Depression Health Center
Buying a Handgun Significantly Increases Risk of Suicide
He says that similar examples can be seen in New York, where handguns have always been tightly controlled and where handgun suicides are low, or in Washington, D.C., where handgun controls were instituted in the 1970s. "Gun suicide went down 25% and suicide by other methods didn't go up," he says.
Wintemute also says other suicide methods are unlikely to replace gun suicide because "guns are easier than other methods. It is easier to get a gun than it is to get pharmaceuticals in lethal quantities. ... It takes skill to hang one's self, using a gun is over quicker, a jumper may have time to contemplate. The fact is that about 10% of suicide attempts with pharmaceuticals are fatal; when you use a firearm more than 90% are fatal. It just reverses the ratio."
In an editorial accompanying the article, Mark L. Rosenberg MD, MPP, of the Collaborative Center for Child Well-being in Decatur, Georgia; James A. Mercy, PhD, of the Medical College of Wisconsin at Milwaukee; and Lloyd B. Potter, PhD, MPH, of the CDC, write that it is "no longer a question of whether we should apply science to the problem of firearm-related injuries, but how we should do so in the effort to prevent such injuries."
Robert K. Musil, PhD, executive director of Physician for Social Responsibility (PSR), says PSR has "known for a long time that in terms of gun violence the largest number of deaths are from suicide by firearm, not homicide." Musil tells WebMD that even in 1993, when death from guns used in crime hit an all time high, the number of deaths from gun suicide were higher.
PSR is supporting a new national gun buy back bill scheduled expected to be introduced Wednesday by Illinois Democratic Sen. Richard Durbin.
Musil says that PSR wants "the gun debate framed as a public health issue, not as a crime issue. In our view, keeping guns out of homes is a key element in reducing the risk of gun death or injury."
PSR recently supported a gun buy back program in Washington, D.C., that Musil says resulted in 3,000 guns being turned in. "We hope to replicate this program nationally." He says that guns acquired in the PSR-sponsored buy back were destroyed and persons who turned in guns were given coupons for services, not money. "An early criticism of gun buy backs was that the money was used to buy new weapons."
Vital Information:
- In terms of gun violence, suicide, not homicide, is the leading cause of death.
- During the first year of handgun ownership, suicide is the leading cause of death, an association that is even more pronounced in women.

I read this and my brain interpreted it the way i would expected it to. I have never been a jealous person. What would it matter if I were rich, beautiful, skinny, had the perfect job, or whatever else if I still had my own brain? I would still be the same me. The only thing that I have ever been jealous of are the dead and dying. That's the only thing that'll make a difference in who I am.
Millions of people have decided not to be sensitive. They have grown thick skins around themselves just to avoid being hurt by anybody. But it is at great cost. Nobody can hurt them, but nobody can make them happy either.

Weaning Baby From Bottle to Cup
Weaning Baby from the Breast and Bottle: Common Challenges
Expect success when you start weaning baby -- but be prepared for possible delays.
Many babies wean easily. "There was no gradual with [Jeremy]," says FlutterByWolf on WebMD's parenting boards. "He was receptive enough to go straight from bottle to sippy. Lucky me!"
But a few babies decide they're not ready to give up the breast or bottle. "My little boy is really into nursing and struggled when we gave him his first sippy cup at six months," says board member KandBMommy. "He just chewed on the [sippy's] rubber spout like it was a chew toy."
If it's difficult for your little one to make the transition, pros and parents offer these tips:
- Keep using the baby bottle or breastfeeding, but shorten each feeding session.
- Offer your baby his sippy cup first and don't try the breast or bottle unless he rejects it.
- To prevent your baby from growing too attached to his bottle, don't let him crawl, walk around, or go to bed with it. Because nighttime feedings can be the most difficult to give up for both parent and child, try replacing them with new bonding habits, such as reading a book or looking at the stars together.
- Try different sippy cups. Although sippy cups are still the favored cup for the weaning transition, there are dozens of styles. Some have short, wide spouts or straws; some have handles, others don't. You -- and your baby -- can only discover which one he prefers through trial and error.
- If your baby continues to resist weaning, let him get into the groove of eating solid foods before trying again. Some children naturally lose interest in the baby bottle or breast once they're eating three solid meals most days.
Weaning Parents
What if you are having a tough time with the transition? Weaning has been called "a long good-bye," and maybe you've found you're just not ready to say it.
In that case, offer yourself the same nurturing patience you give your child. Acknowledge that weaning is an emotional, painful, but ultimately freeing process. And, then take time to bond with your little one in new ways, such as cuddling and reading together.
Weaning Baby: Strategies for Success
When you're ready to take the plunge from breast or baby bottle to sippy cups, keep these baby-weaning tips in mind:
- Don't start weaning baby when your lives are busy or stressful. If you're starting a new job tomorrow or moving, or baby's going through a new developmental stage, wait a month or two before weaning.
- Breastfeed or bottle feed a sick baby, even if you're in the middle of trying to wean. It gives your baby a familiar, soothing comfort and may help him feel better sooner.
- "Follow your child's lead," says Boogies1123, whose son "has led the way the entire time, making it a really painless and tear-free transition."
- Offer your little one other sources of calcium, such as yogurt or cheese, if he isn't drinking 16 ounces of baby formula a day during the weaning process.
- Make sure your baby is eating solid foods by six months, whether or not he's weaned. By the time he's one year old, breast milk alone won't provide all the nutrients he needs.
- Put breast milk or baby formula in the sippy cup when weaning baby. "Putting the same thing in a new container (i.e. a cup) makes it that much more likely that a baby will be interested," Jana tells WebMD.
- Remember that once babies are eating solid foods, they're getting liquids in the food they eat, says Jana. This means that their liquid requirements will naturally drop and they won't drink the same volume from a sippy that they once did from breast or baby bottle.
- Be patient as your milk dries up, if you are transitioning from breastfeeding. For most moms, it can take between 2-4 weeks before milk production stops.
- Keep in mind that weaning doesn't need to be all or nothing. Some women wean during the day and continue breast- or bottle feeding baby at night. Choose the process that works for you.

The Queen of country music is retiring from hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards. After a report surfaced earlier today, ACM CEO Bob Romero decided to put the rumors to rest and confirm that Reba McEntire will not return to co-host the award show next year. However, Blake Shelton will once again return – with something up his sleeve.
Bob shares:
"Reba has hosted the ACM Awards a record 14 times since 1986, and we fully understand and support her decision to focus her energies on her new television project, We've known about this for a while and have something very special planned with Blake returning—he's got something big up his sleeve!—that we'll be announcing soon. Stay tuned!"
Who do you think Blake will host with next year? Miranda Lambert? Trace Adkins? Sound off below and let us know who you think would be the perfect fit alongside the Oklahoma funnyman.

Uca longidigita (Family Ocypodidae)
Long-digit Fiddler Crab
Long-digit Fiddler Crab has an extremely limited distribution being restricted to south-eastern Qld. It is found at Green Island, Moreton Bay, and the Brisbane River (QLD).Features:
The Long-digit Fiddler Crab has a carapace that is turquoise-blue in colour with brown and cream markings. Adult males have three black diamond markings on the carapace. It grows to a carapace width of 20-30mm. The very long fingered chelae of the male crab is pale grey-blue and white, with a touch of orange on the inner face, with pure white fingers. The minor chelae are bluish-grey merging into pale grey. The eyestalks are grey-black while the legs are dark grey-black in colour. The carapace of the male looks to be and feels smooth, while the carapace of a female appears to be and feels finely granular. Long-digit Fiddler Crab has a narrow front to the carapace, with the frontal groove being deep and fairly narrow. The eyebrows are very narrow, almost absent. The eyestalks are long and thin. The mouthparts are a pale grey-blue with some white.
The upper moveable finger of the large male chelae is longer than the lower fixed finger. The median groove on the lower finger is shallow and indistinct. There is a slight trace of felted pile in the gape between the fingers.
A more full description is found in George & Jones (1982).Ecology/Way of Life:
Long-digit Fiddler Crab is found on the banks of tidal rivers. It also occurs in mud and sandy mud along the seaward edge of mangroves. It is usually found below Uca coarctata and Uca vomeris.Interaction with Humans/Threats:
Long-digit Fiddler Crab has an extremely limited distribution so a major chemical or oil spill in Moreton Bay and the Brisbane River could be catastrophic to the continued survival of this species. This situation needs to be continually monitored.Other Comments:
Uca longidigita, Kingsley, 1880. Kingsley collected the type specimen in 1880 at Moreton Bay, Qld. He named it Gelasimus longidigitum. Other synonyms are Uca longidigitum, Macnae, 1966, and Uca (Australuca) bellator longidigita, Crane, 1975.
The specific name longidigita comes from the Latin word longus, meaning long, and digita from the Latin word digitus meaning finger or toe. The long fingers on the chelae of this species distinguish it from other Fiddler Crabs.

mighty demon.BC carb ?
Ok i got a.489 BBC with.8-71 TBS blower got 2x.750 blower carbs also from TBS. Just got motor.fired up i had no vacuum lines hook up to the carbs
these carbs are boost ref power vavles.i found the nipple that pulls vac.through the vavle are these suposed.to be tied together.into the back of the blower manifold?
With no vac lines.hooked.up..shouldnt it run rich.?.which i think it is
would this.make my headders glow.red at.about 2000/2500 rpms?
This is my first blower carbed engine.
And for my trans. Mod valve.run it.to a full vac source off the base plate...did i need.to tee.them together on both carbs to the mod vavle..thanks
Power valve vacuum source goes to the intake manifold plenum below the blower.
Preferably with a in line one way check valve to avoid boost pressure acting on the power valve diaphram(s).
Same with the trans vac modulator, to the intake manifold under the blower with a in line check valve. A mechanical (cable acted) trans modulator is another way to work the trans shift pressure. Get one from a GM desiel van w auto trans.
The Rich idle and hot header tubes is mostly caused by a lack of initial spark advance timing at idle. Roots supercharged motors need a lot of timing at idle.
You need to shorten the mechanical advance curve to allow this.
You need a 10DEG or less timing curve.
Fix the timing curve to allow this.
If the blower motor has a fair big cam just lock out the mechanical advance curve and set the locked timing at 28-30 deg BTDC. (street Blown on pump gas, without boost timing retard)
If you are using boost retard, set the locked timing at 36deg BTDC at idle and take 6 to 8deg timing out with the boost retard box, under boost WOT
A roots supercharged motor will idle much cleaner with a generous amount of spark advance at idle. The bigger the camshaft, the more timing it will like at idle. 26deg +++ @ idle
Thanks.real helpfull
whay about this.eze idle.adjustment ?
I thought like you.said.that.boost pressure.would be pushed back on the.power V.
Or.would it be better to take.the nipple.fittn on the boost ref port .back to the base plate full vac source.would.thay work ?
Ans same.with.trans mod.V. Cause the.carbs.base.plate.or not pressured.by boost
im going to post up so pics.soon from my home pc..not.sure.how.to do them from cell.and can see and type.better.to without all the.peroids
ok heres my 68 chevelle i need help on pic 1
pic 2
pic 3
pic 4
pic 5
pic 6
No the power valve goes to the intake manifold only.
Never to the base of the carb or any where above the blower.
You do not want vacuum acting on the power valve when the motor is WOT under boost. This would close the power valve @WOT and burn the motor up.
Start with the idle eze closed. Give it all the spark timing it needs at idle.
Make sure both carbs throttles are open correctly at idle, and the same amount.
(idle fuel transfer slot exposure) Flip the carbs over and look and preset them , before install.
The idle eze will only be needed if the cam is huge., if at all.
Cam is a comp cam blower grind
255/262 @.050. Lift is .652 on both. On a 114 lash is .020 .
O got.dart.pro1s rect.port 345 cc intake.runners
is.that a big cam.and heads .thanks man u been big help can i call you still dont fully still dont understand pm.me.with.# of.you dont mind thanks Gary
ya thats a big cam.
Lock out the distributor curve.
NO boost retard box = 28 to 32deg timing.
with boost retard box 38deg timing, reduce to 28-32 when under boost WOT
Okay so my pic #5 the nipple.goes.to the.vacumm andbboost to the.bottom.of the intake.below.the.blower.correct
so when i fired.up my car.wirhout.rhe.ref.nipple.hooked uo the.power valve.so open or.closed.?.. I think.the.boost ref. Carbs.it.dont.get.a.vac.signal.to the.power.valve.so it.would.run rich correct my.plug are.black.
So of.i hookthem up the.nipple.the.the.boost.ref. It will get vac.closing the.power valve.then when it.gets.boost.it.willpush.the.power.valvw.open to get more.fuel correct?
In pic.#3.the.big.plig at the rear.of the.cars.am going.to run it to the.vac mod. Valve.correct?
i need.to lock oit the.dost.like.you said ?.is that to much.i thought more.like.22/26.with.pump gas i might.have less boost then planned on .i as.set.up for 12%ud.but.that.was.with.srock iron heads.i got.345.cc.ingake.runners now.TBS.I might.noy see 8psi.bit less pulleys.are.59 /58 upper and.52/54 lower cant rember.but.of i only.see.say 5/6 psi .i will the.swap the.pullehs.and.od.ot.13.5.% i thinllk.
Let me know.if.am.rigth.or not.thanks
What is the static compression ratio?
What should.this.car.run in the quarter mile. Has.3.50 gears with.dlocker 10 stall speed
That CR is fine, my concern was that it may have been on the high side for running any real boost. No idea on the times, though. I'd imagine traction will be a problem. What's a "10 stall speed"?
The.transmission converter is.a.3800.stall speed.with.3.50 gearrs.with.Detroit locked.for.the.street .hopen for.some.low.10's.at least.got.32x17.50x15 mt et street dot slicks
Quarter mile trap speed and ET along w/the other vehicle specs (mainly weight) is as good an indicator of real world HP as most anything. You have enough motor to run your numbers- the question comes down to chassis set up and traction.

VIDEO: WTH ??? Obama Makes a "Crass" Joke !!! Michelle Doesn't Go All the Way Down ~ Barack Obama
Pool reporter ( reporting about Obama's appearance and introduction of Ellen, at an LBGTQFFW Fundraiser) Todd Gilman of the Dallas Morning News writes:
He warmed up with some jokes about the first lady's appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show."Michelle outdoes me in pushups as well," he said, after saying that she's taken some criticism on her technique "because she doesn't go all the way down" – a line that he let hang, naughtily, provoking laughter from the crowd.
White House officials didn't immediately respond to an inquiry about whether the line was correctly interpreted.
Here's a fuller transcript from the White House:
I want to thank my wonderful friend who accepts a little bit of teasing about Michelle beating her in pushups — (laughter) — but I think she claims Michelle didn't go all the way down. (Laughter.) That's what I heard. I just want to set the record straight — Michelle outdoes me in pushups as well. (Laughter.) So she shouldn't feel bad. She's an extraordinary talent and she's just a dear, dear friend — Ellen DeGeneres. Give Ellen a big round of applause.

Body shot supreme!
She stood as Matron had left her, just in her socks and shoes.
Her nose was pressed against the wall and she knew that the Headmistress's secretary would not hesitate to tell tales if she moved.
Matron had let her put her shoes back on and then marched her and Angela over to the Headmistress's office. She wanted to rub her ear where Matron had pinched it, but dare not move.
She and Angela had been totally distracted, moaning, licking, stroking, panting when the light had flashed on and Matron's voice had boomed out, "What on earth! Come with me immediately!"
She shivered and blushed as she remembered the embarrassing march across the quad, other girls giggling and pointing. She knew that Angela would be telling all, the "unwilling" victim.
She could here the muffled voices, then the squeals and smacks, then the lengthy pause and regular howls as the cane did its work.
Even as she stood there, nervous and worried, she couldn't help but get damp at the thought of Angela's bottom, crimson and striped, at how she would feel to be over the Headmistress's knee, tweed skirt rubbing against her, how each stroke of the cane would burn and sting and yet…

text: Brooklyn, a suburb of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. Brooklyn is a blend of circa 1900 weatherboard villa / bungalow houses around the central part of Brooklyn, blending more recent subdivisions built in the 1970's and 1990's. The shops / bars / cinema / food outlets have created a village atmosphere. The inner city suburb is popular with families and renters for its proximity to the Wellington CBD (10 minutes drive) and access to Wellingtons south coast (an easy 10 minutes in the other direction). Central Park (named after the area of the same name in New York) separates Brooklyn from the city. Established in 1913 on Town Belt land, the park features a set of wrought-iron gates at its main entrance: the then Mayor, John Pearce Luke gifted them in 1920.

How to: Dosing Two Part in Your Reef Tank
Maintaining calcium and alkalinity in your saltwater aquarium is essential to the health and growth of your corals. Corals use these elements to produce their skeletal structure and once they consume it, you will need to replenish it. Also, all the creatures in your reef tank require stable alkalinity and pH to thrive. Two part dosing is a great way to achieve this consistency. Disclaimer

Fairfax, Virginia - Australian singer/songwriter Steve Lee has been busy over the past few years. On the heels of his YouTube mega-hit "I Like Guns," found on an album of the same name, Steve is preparing to release the aptly-named followup "Everybody Likes Guns" some time in November.
To make sure all his bases were covered, he stopped by the National Rifle Association here in Fairfax, Virginia to take a spin through the National Firearms Museum as well as the NRA Headquarters Range. Steve and his crew browsed through the firearms, took some pictures, shot some video and met up with a few friends.
For more on Steve Lee, visit his website at ilikeguns.com.au.
