"IN THE SPRING OF 2015, GQ asked freelance writer and editor Beejoli Shah to produce a four-page front-of-book section for the magazine. She was responsible for conceiving every element, from lists to profiles to Q&As, and naming writers she thought would be right to tackle each piece. She had two days to do it, although it usually takes editors several weeks. And she would not be paid."

It seems to be a fundamental truth. From war, natural disasters, crime, illness, and even to the seemingly lesser stresses like too many work hours and not enough pay, or time to live, the suffering can feel never-ending with the aid of social media and television.
However, it's important to know what is going on in the world, as painful as it is. Even when you cannot do anything about it, and when it does not directly affect you, being aware of what is happening in the world helps you understand life and your place in it–your contribution.
Personally, I also believe in other philosophical and spiritual reasons for being "woke," as they say, but that's a much longer discussion.
Having said all that, we must take care of ourselves and being woke can come at a personal price. Sometimes the goings-on of the world simply cause too much extra stress.
I recently did what a lot of people threaten to do, but have a hard time accomplishing: I took a break from social media.
I left Facebook, Twitter, my website, and I refused to watch or read the news for nearly one month. I was stressed with some changes in my life, with money problems and work-related issues, and I realized that waking up and reading the news was only hurting me. It broke my heart over and over, and make my days even worse because I seemed unable to avoid internalizing it. So, I took a vacation from the rest of the world.
There is nothing wrong with taking a break from it–taking a break from the news, from social media drama, whatever its form.
You might ask, "But, wouldn't it just be selfish to stop paying attention merely because it stresses you out?"
I argue that it's not so simple.
We all want to do more that survive this life. We all want to really live–to find more than suffering. Some of us are lucky enough–are born or placed into the right circumstances to find it. Many are not.
There is no shame in being either person.
Should you completely close yourself off from the world permanently, and think only of yourself and your own happiness? No, of course not. There must be a healthy balance between your happiness and your concern for the world's suffering.
Some people simply do not have that option. They can't just turn off the news and let go because their lives are the news. They haven't been given the option, and that's horrifically unfair.
But, that doesn't mean that it is wrong for you to choose.
I encourage you to try. It doesn't have to be a long period of time. Try a day, or a week–as much as you think you can handle. Sometimes it is hard to let go, and some people's jobs insist on the use of social media, which cannot be helped. If you can, however, give yourself a break.
You're human–you deserve it.
Minnesota Police Shooting's Aftermath is Captured in Gruesome Video
Yet another shooting of a black person by police is making headlines. I want to write some great, eloquent, inspiring response, but I can't.
Yet another black man was killed by police. Remember his name: Alton Sterling.
We've all had a bad boss, but this one ranks high on the list.
If you've been here before, you know I recently began a crowdfunding campaign.
("If you've been here before," is actually very, very relevant, because needing a large social circle beforehand is one of the things that many supporters of crowdfunding don't tell you.)
But, I'll get to that later.
I spent some time preparing. I did some research. I launched. Almost immediately, that hope that I had, even though it wasn't high to begin with, became really hard to hold on to. Crowdfunding can be a great thing, but taking advantage of this potentially exciting system is an idea that a whole lot of other people have. Here are some things I'm learning that I hope will help you figure things out before you jump in:
Don't misunderstand me; I'm not bitter and anti-crowdfunding. I'm going to see my campaign through, but through a more realistic lens. If it fails, will I try again? I honestly have no idea. I don't see myself having the money and time to afford it in the near future.
It's just that there is a lot of "advice for a successful crowdfunding campaign" out there, and a few "things to remember before beginning." But, there isn't much out there to tell you that it's not for everyone, and even though certain crowdfunding websites boast millions of dollars in successful campaigns, it's actually a pretty small percentage of campaigns that get fully funded. So, this is for the people like me, who have great ideas, projects, or personal needs, but who may not otherwise be warned about just how difficult a successful crowdfunding campaign really is.

Charlie Sheen has been dismissed from jury service a day after signing on to take care of his civic duty.
The actor was excused from a court in Los Angeles on Tuesday (24Sep13) before he was even considered as a prospective juror in an upcoming case.
Speaking to TMZ.com on Monday, the former Two and a Half Men star revealed what type of case he was hoping for: "Probably, like, a multiple homicide case, something really interesting."


text: Tim Garrett Authors Article on Implications of DOL's New Overtime Rules Nashville Business Journal Publications June 3, 2016 Bass, Berry & Sims attorney Tim Garrett authored an article for the Nashville Business Journal outlining the implications of the Department of Labor's (DOL) new overtime rules. These new rules, effective December 1, 2016, will impact many employers and employees. The new rules raise an employee's exempt salary level from $23,660 to $47,476. As Tim points out, employers will now need to determine whether to "[g]ive a raise, effective no later than Dec. 1, to any employee classified as exempt but not yet receiving an annual salary of $47,476; or reclassify the employee as non-exempt and eligible for overtime, meaning the employee must keep up with all hours worked." The full article, "What the New Overtime Rules Mean for You," was published by the Nashville Business Journal on June 3, 2016, and is available online.

North Korea's decision to suspend its testing of nuclear weapons and long-range ballistic missiles is being cautiously welcomed in Asia, where many residents remember a history of broken promises.
U.S. and North Korean officials simultaneously announced the breakthrough Wednesday, saying Pyongyang will also halt other nuclear activities, including uranium enrichment. The United States, meanwhile, says it will push ahead on a plan to provide 240,000 metric tons of U.S. food assistance to the North.
Japan's Foreign Minister Koichiro Gemba said Thursday in Tokyo that the deal also provides for the return to North Korea of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency.
"They [North Korea] have said they agree to let the IAEA surveillance team return. They have also promised to take steps toward denuclearization and stopped the launch of short range missiles - these are significant accomplishments being made," he said.
The Japanese foreign minister described the concessions offered by North Korea as "significant." But he acknowledged that more will have to be done before the long-stalled six-nation talks on Pyongyang's nuclear programs can resume.
A Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman also welcomed the agreement, saying Beijing will continue to strive to play a constructive part in bringing peace and security to the region.
But many ordinary citizens in Japan and South Korea say they are doubtful that anything will change. Hisatoshi Yoshikawa, a 71-year-old Japanese retiree, says he does not believe the deal will work any better than previous failed agreements.
"In the end they [North Korea] always end up doing the same thing over and over again," he said. "They don't know how to change their ways."
U.S. officials acknowledged Wednesday they see the agreement as only the first step in a long process.
"The agreements that the North Koreans have made are very welcome, but obviously they need to be followed up by actions, and commitments to do something are one thing, actually doing them are another," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. "So, we will pursue this policy area with that approach in mind."
The agreement follows talks last week in Beijing between U.S. and North Korean officials, just two months after the death of North Korea's supreme leader, Kim Jong Il.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said U.S. and North Korean teams will meet soon to complete details of a plan to deliver food aid to the North. She said the deal calls for "intensive monitoring" to ensure the assistance reaches the most needy.
Stephen Bosworth, the former U.S. special representative for North Korea policy in the Obama administration says the deal could lead to progress in other areas.
"My hope is that the agreement will hold and lead to some next steps, such as the return of the IAEA inspectors to Yongbyon and North Korea and to resuming a new flow of food aid... and that would be followed by further efforts to reach an agreement on the relaunching of a deeper U.S. - North Korea dialogue and eventually the resumption of the six-party process," he said.
American experts point out that after agreeing to shut down a plutonium nuclear reactor in 1994, Pyongyang went ahead with a secret uranium enrichment program, giving it another way to produce fuel for nuclear weapons. Many of these experts remain doubtful that North Korea will ever totally give up its nuclear weapons ambitions.

These assets will appeal to a variety of private national, regional and local operators due to the rare ability to obtain a critical mass of significant apartments throughout Florida. - Jamie May
(PRWEB) August 04, 2014
CEO & Chairman, Jamie May of JBM™ Institutional Multifamily Advisors, an investment advisory and brokerage services firm dedicated exclusively to the multifamily sector, announces that it has been retained to handle the sale of The Landmark Portfolio (the "Portfolio") consisting of the following three properties in Florida: Avondale by the Lakes in St. Petersburg, Landmark at Savoy Square in Clearwater and Courtyards on the River in Tampa. The Portfolio is comprised of 782 units and offers the rare ability to immediately obtain a critical mass of multifamily units in the Tampa Bay MSA in one transaction.
The Properties are situated in central locations in the Tampa MSA nearby major demand drivers and minutes away from their respective market's central business districts. The immediate locations are characterized by high-barrier-to-entry neighborhoods where surrounding areas are built-out and densely developed. However, the properties are sufficiently spread out in different submarkets, minimizing exposure to any one major employer or industry as well as large concentrations of new multifamily supply.
The consistent cash flow and high occupancy of each Property positions the Portfolio to provide excellent stable returns and allows investors to focus on additional improvements to generate rent increases and other income. The Properties all have excellent curb appeal that would make any property manager proud, with each asset having its own unique physical characteristics and building structures, which provide for positive portfolio diversification.

Revenge of the Petites – Red Carpet Video
"I'm kind of a bitch. No, I'm a lot of a bitch."
AMKingdom's latest release, Revenge of the Petites, is getting a lot of buzz for an adult production. Harry Sparks's film is a full-fledged motion picture, complete with a sprawling cast of actual characters, a reasonable plotline and erotic scenes based on Eisenstein's theories of montage. Not making that part up.
So we made a special trip to Landmark's Regent Theater in Los Angeles, California to attend the red carpet premiere – itself a rarity in the adult film industry – and interview all the hot adult stars in attendance. Sativa Verte, TIa Cyrus, Skin Diamond, Kris Slater, Victoria Rae Black, Celeste Star, Sarah Shevon, Vanessa Cage and Seth Dickens all stop by to explain what makes Revenge of the Petites seem so special.
Revenge of the Petites is available on DVD on May 16.

He is the son of Canadian actors Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas.
Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland was born in London, England, the son of Donald Sutherland and Shirley Douglas, both of whom are successful Canadian actors. He has Scottish ancestry from both parents, and is the grandson of Canadian politician Tommy Douglas, widely credited for bringing universal health care to Canada. Sutherland and his twin sister, Rachel, were born in London (in Saint Mary's Hospital) while his parents were working there.
He received his first given name from Warren Kiefer, the Italian director who gave his father his first movie role.
His family moved to Corona, California and in 1972, his parents divorced. In 1975, Sutherland moved with his mother to Toronto. He attended elementary school at Crescent Town Elementary School, St. Clair Junior High East York, and John G. Althouse Middle School in Toronto.

3. Lawrence Olivier Smoking Cigarette
Celebrity Lawrence Olivier Smoking Lucky Strike Red Cigarette
About Lawrence Olivier : Laurence Kerr Olivier, Baron Olivier, OM (22 May 1907 – 11 July 1989) was an English actor, director, and producer. He was one of the most famous and revered actors of the 20th century. He married three times, to fellow actors Jill Esmond, Vivien Leigh, and Joan Plowright.
Olivier played a wide variety of roles on stage and screen from Greek tragedy, Shakespeare and Restoration comedy to modern American and British drama. He was the first artistic director of the National Theatre of Great Britain and its main stage is named in his honour. He is regarded by some to be the greatest actor of the 20th century, in the same category as David Garrick, Richard Burbage, Edmund Kean and Henry Irving in their own centuries. Olivier's AMPAS acknowledgments are considerable: twelve Oscar nominations, with two awards (for Best Actor and Best Picture for the 1948 film Hamlet), plus two honorary awards including a statuette and certificate. He was also awarded five Emmy awards from the nine nominations he received. Additionally, he was a three-time Golden Globe and BAFTA winner.
Olivier's career as a stage and film actor spanned more than six decades and included a wide variety of roles, from the title role in Shakespeare's Othello and Sir Toby Belch in Twelfth Night to the sadistic Nazi dentist Christian Szell in Marathon Man and the kindly but determined Nazi-hunter in The Boys from Brazil. A High church clergyman's son who found fame on the West End stage, Olivier became determined early on to master Shakespeare, and eventually came to be regarded as one of the foremost Shakespeare interpreters of the 20th century. He continued to act until the year before his death in 1989. Olivier played more than 120 stage roles: Richard III, Macbeth, Romeo, Hamlet, Othello, Uncle Vanya, and Archie Rice in The Entertainer. He appeared in nearly sixty films, including William Wyler's Wuthering Heights, Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca, Stanley Kubrick's Spartacus, Otto Preminger's Bunny Lake Is Missing, Richard Attenborough's Oh! What a Lovely War, and A Bridge Too Far, Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Sleuth, John Schlesinger's Marathon Man, Daniel Petrie's The Betsy, Desmond Davis' Clash of the Titans, and his own Henry V, Hamlet, and Richard III. He also preserved his Othello on film, with its stage cast virtually intact. For television, he starred in The Moon and Sixpence, John Gabriel Borkman, Long Day's Journey into Night, Brideshead Revisited, The Merchant of Venice, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and King Lear, among others.
In 1999, the American Film Institute named Olivier among the Greatest Male Stars of All Time, at number 14 on the list.
He was portrayed by Kenneth Branagh in the 2011 film My Week with Marilyn.

8. Marlon Brando Smoking Cigarette
Celebrity Marlon Brando Smoking Pall Mall Superslims Blue Cigarette
About Marlon Brando : Marlon Brando, Jr. (April 3, 1924 – July 1, 2004) was an American movie star and political activist. "Unchallenged as the most important actor in modern American Cinema" according to the St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture, Brando was the only professional actor, aside from Charlie Chaplin, named by Time magazine as one of their 100 Persons of the Century in 1999.
Brando had a significant impact on film acting, and was the foremost example of the "method" acting style. While he became notorious for his "mumbling" diction and exuding a raw animal magnetism, his mercurial performances were nonetheless highly regarded, and he is widely considered as one of the greatest and most influential actors of the 20th century. Director Martin Scorsese said of him, "He is the marker. There's 'before Brando' and 'after Brando'." Actor Jack Nicholson once said, "When Marlon dies, everybody moves up one." He was ranked by the American Film Institute as the fourth greatest screen legend among male movie stars.
An enduring cultural icon, Brando became a box office star during the 1950s, during which time he racked up five Oscar nominations as Best Actor, along with three consecutive wins of the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. He initially gained popularity for recreating the role as Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), a Tennessee Williams play that had established him as a Broadway star during its 1947-49 stage run, and for his Academy Award-winning performance as Terry Malloy in On the Waterfront (1954), as well as for his iconic portrayal of the rebel motorcycle gang leader Johnny Strabler in The Wild One (1953), which is considered to be one of the most famous images in pop culture. Brando was also nominated for the Oscar for playing Emiliano Zapata in Viva Zapata! (1952), Mark Antony in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's 1953 film adaptation of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, and as Air Force Major Lloyd Gruver in Sayonara (1957), Joshua Logan's adaption of James Michener's 1954 novel. He made the Top Ten Money Making Stars, as ranked by Quigley Publications' annual survey of movie exhibitors, three times in the decade, coming in at number 10 in 1954, number 6 in 1955, and number 4 in 1958.
Brando directed and starred in the cult western film One-Eyed Jacks that was released in 1961, after which he delivered a series of box office failures beginning with the non-success of the 1962 film adaptation of Mutiny on the Bounty. The 1960s proved to be a fallow decade from Brando, and after 10 years in which he did not appear in a commercially successful movie, he won his second Academy Award for playing Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972), a role critics consider among his greatest. The movie, which became the most commercially successful film of all time when it was released, along with his Oscar-nominated performance as Paul in Last Tango in Paris (1972), another smash hit, revitalized Brando's career and reestablished him in the ranks of top box office stars, placing him at number 6 and number 10 in Top 10 Money Making Stars poll in 1972 and 1973, respectively.
Brando failed to capitalize on the momentum of his revitalized career, taking a long hiatus before appearing in The Missouri Breaks (1976), a box office bomb. Afterwards, he was content to be a highly-paid character actor in parts that were glorified cameos in Superman (1978) and The Formula (1980) before taking a nine-year break from motion pictures. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Brando was paid a record $3.7 million ($13,409,697 in today's funds) plus 11.75% of the gross profits for 13 days work playing Jor-El in Superman, further adding to his mystique. He finished out the decade of the 1970s with his highly-controversial performance as Colonel Walter Kurtz in another Coppola film, Apocalypse Now (1979), a box office hit for which he was highly paid and that helped finance his career layoff during the 1980s.
Brando was also an activist, supporting many issues, notably the African-American Civil Rights Movement and various American Indian Movements.

10. Michael Caine Smoking Cigarette
Celebrity Michael Caine Smoking Parliament Night Blue Cigarette
About Michael Caine : Sir Michael Caine, CBE (born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite; 14 March 1933) is an English actor. He won Academy Awards for best supporting actor in both Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) and The Cider House Rules (1999).
Caine is one of only two actors nominated for an Academy Award for acting in every decade from the 1960s to 2000s (the other one being Jack Nicholson). In 2000, Caine was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in recognition of his contribution to cinema.
Caine was born Maurice Joseph Micklewhite in St Olave's Hospital, Rotherhithe, Southwark in South East London, the son of Ellen Frances Marie (née Burchell), a cook and charlady, and Maurice Joseph Micklewhite, a fish market porter. His father was of part Irish and Irish Traveller ancestry and a Catholic, though Caine was brought up in his Protestant mother's religion.
Caine grew up in Camberwell, South London, and during the Second World War he was evacuated to North Runcton in Norfolk. After the war, when his father was demobilised, the family was rehoused by the council in Marshall Gardens at the Elephant and Castle in a pre-fabricated house made in Canada - much of London's housing stock had been damaged during The Blitz in 1940-41.
The prefabs, as they were known, were intended to be temporary homes while London was rebuilt, but we ended up living there for eighteen years and for us, after a cramped flat with an outside toilet, it was luxury.
In 1944 he passed his eleven plus exam, winning a scholarship to Hackney Downs Grocers School. After a year there he moved to Wilson's Grammar School in Camberwell (now Wilson's School in Wallington, South London), which he left at sixteen after gaining a School Certificate in six subjects. He then worked briefly as a filing clerk and messenger for a film company in Victoria Street and the film producer Jay Lewis in Wardour Street. From 1952, when he was called up to do his National Service, until 1954, he served in the British Army's Royal Fusiliers, first at the BAOR HQ in Iserlohn, Germany and then on active service during the Korean War. Caine has said he would like to see the return of National Service to help combat youth violence, stating: "I'm just saying, put them in the Army for six months. You're there to learn how to defend your country. You belong to the country. Then when you come out, you have a sense of belonging rather than a sense of violence."

Lost Gold of Pegleg Smith
- 23
- Jan
The background to the story is quite simple. A one legged man (most likely named Smith), while crossing the desert, became lost in a sandstorm and decided to wait it out. In the morning, he climbed one of the nearby small hills or buttes to get his bearing. The top of this hill was covered with walnut sized black rocks that, as he would find out later,turned out to be a combination of gold, silver and manganese.
Easy enough, all you would have to do is get in your Jeep and head out to the desert, not a problem, should have it figured by the weekend. Unfortunately, hundreds of people have lost their lives thinking just that. The desert, while quite exquisitely beautiful, will not hesitate to take the life of someone unprepared for her "charms". This is a very foreboding land; it is a land of instinct and survival. This person was, as I am sure, quite prepared to cross the desert. No matter the level of preparedness by any individual, any task will become increasingly difficult the moment a sandstorm hits. You will clearly understand his dilemma; visibility may have been so bad that you may not even be able to see your own hand, let alone a trail.
The name most associated with this yarn is Thomas L. Smith, noted trapper and early western frontiersman. Thomas was one of the earliest explorers, traveling with the likes of Sylvester Pattie, Milton Sublette and many others, making his earnings by trapping beaver in the west and selling them at rendezvous' or yearly gatherings at Taos New Mexico. According to legend, and while in his trapping days, he was injured during a battle with Indians and had to amputate his own leg. There are many conflicting reports as to where the battle was and if he cut off his leg above the ankle or below the knee. But it is suffice to say, that his appendage and story, made him a well known celebrity within the trapping community.
Sometime around 1829 or 1827, Thomas along with fellow trappers Ewing Young, Dutch George (George C. Yount) and others, were camped on the north bank of the convergence of the Virgin and Colorado Rivers, all of which is now under Lake Mead. One afternoon Dutch George and a few other men decided to go out exploring and went about 2 miles east of the camp. It was in a side canyon that George supposedly found gold just lying on the ground; easy pickings, no mining tools were necessary. When the got back to camp, they were truly excited. But after Thomas looked at his sample, he declared it to be "native copper" and promptly made bullets out of the find. One has to remember Los Angeles was just a small hamlet at this time, and San Francisco wasn't that much better. Besides, they were trappers, not miners, bullets meant food on the table and that was more important than rocks…
Through all of my own personal research, this would be the most accurate and complete story of Thomas L. "Pegleg" Smith's actual involvement with gold in the desert. For the rest of his life he would tell people of his "lost gold" and conjure up story after story as long as they were buying the drinks, supplying the food or both. Although I am certain this Smith is most well known, he is most certainly not the real Smith.
Philip A. Bailey author of Golden Mirages (1941), has some of the earliest accredited writings about Pegleg. Mr. Bailey came to California from New Mexico in the early nineteen twenties. It was in New Mexico that a young Philip would sit back and listen to the old-timers tell their tales of lost treasure. When he came to San Diego, he would spend over twenty years researching old lost gold yarns and was the only one I am aware of that actually talked to someone who knew the real Pegleg's partner. Mr. Bailey's personal research from his book clearly state:
"This is the true story of and so far as I know, all of the story of Thomas L. Smith's Lost
Pegleg Mine. There is no mention of the three buttes as landmarks in connection with this
story. The gold nuggets were not coated with black desert varnish. There were no maps made, the location is well described, it is in a valley or canyon on the Arizona side of the Colorado River, two miles east of a point opposite the junction of the Rio Virgin. The location is probably now under the waters of Lake Mead that are impounded by Hoover Dam.
But! And here is what has caused so much turmoil and confusion more than one hundred years since Dutch George walked away from the place where gold could be scooped up, easy.- there were two Pegleg Smith's… This does not mean that there was a duplicate of old Thomas L. Smith, the Rocky Mountain Man, but about the time of Pegleg's death in 1866 or possibly ten years later, another man, a prospector, now known as Pegleg Smith, did find a place in the Colorado Desert that could be identified by three small buttes, and near which he found nuggets of gold covered with black desert varnish. This discovery is also known as the Lost Pegleg Mine…"
A direct quote from Philip A. Bailey's personal notes, approximately 1930.
Philip was out visiting many of the early haunts of the old desert travelers and prospectors; he continually visited places like Julian, El Centro, Dos Cabases, and Yuma as well as places south of the border. He interviewed many people who, at the time, were on the desert prospecting or searching for Pegleg's lost gold. I also understand that there were many nineteenth century newspapers publishing their version of the Lost Pegleg yarn too, but to say that they were "sensationalize" would be a gross understatement. They also have a way of intertwining nearly every story that has ever been heard. Almost every Pegleg Smith yarn you will come across will tell the tale of the golden bullets, but this is not part of the real story. It is simply the most convoluted confusion you will ever read. It's as if people are doing their best to make it fit in, and for those who have spent years reading and searching the clues, this Smith, Thomas L Smith is best left out.
The next Smith we encounter may have never truly carried the moniker; in fact, his name most likely was George Ham or John O Smith. An early noted Pegleg hunter and Desert magazine writer, H. E. W. Wilson, searched for well over fifty years looking for the elusive pair. Both were soldiers, and most likely assigned to Fort Yuma sometime in the mid to late 1800s. They may even be the same person, George taking the name of John O Smith. It's difficult to verify if there really was a soldier by that name working at Fort Yuma, simply because he was not stationed there. He may have been assigned there temporarily from another fort, to provide much needed personnel, due to uprising or other situations. Which makes it difficult in verifying his existence; he could have been stationed at any fort in Arizona, New Mexico or beyond.
According to Mr. Wilson, George most likely would have been assigned to a frontier guard post, probably north of Fort Yuma on the Colorado River. It's here where he would have heard about rich gold deposits somewhere in the Chocolate Mountains from traveling prospectors. It's also important to keep in mind that at this time in history the California gold rush was in full swing and people were dropping anything they did to head west and get rich. One day, George most likely would have deserted his post and headed for the mountains, and this is why he may have called himself Smith. He may have suffered some sort of wound during skirmishes with Indians or possibly the Civil War; this could have contributed to him being thought of as a pegleged Smith.
George headed out to the desert and was looking to strike it rich, but instead, he was found some time later by other travelers or prospectors staggering deliriously clutching a saddle bag. He was taken to San Bernardino where a Dr. Albert DeCorse helped nurse him back to health. In gratitude for the doctor saving his life, he drew a map showing the location of the find and handsomely paid the good doctor in gold. Unfortunately, he didn't adhere to the doctors instructions to nurse himself slowly back to health and later died.
Dr. DeCorse tried in vain to find the gold, but not being a mining man or a person familiar with the desert, he was unable to locate the mine. He eventually moved to Yuma and became the physician at the Yuma Territorial Prison. It's been said that he kept one black nugget in his house until a flood wiped out everything in the 1900's.
Even though there are many more candidates for the real Pegleg, I feel that it is important to go back to Mr. Bailey's research. One of the principal people that Mr. Bailey interviewed was Charles Knowles, a deputy sheriff from El Cajon and one of the original old timers. Mr. Knowles was born in 1865 and at a young age he helped rescue a little boy, but severely burned his hand. It was disfigured for the rest of his life. By age of twenty, Charles was working a mining claim near Coeur d'Alene when a man named Price approached and introduced himself father of the child he saved. It was from Mr. Price that Charles first learned about Pegleg's lost gold.
According to Mr. Price, around 1855, he and a man who claimed to be Pegleg Smith, were working as guides from Yuma to Los Angeles and San Diego. Tiring from the heat and the hard work involved in getting emigrants across the desert, Mr. Price decided to find work in Los Angeles. About a month later Pegleg came into Los Angeles and showed Mr. Price his blacken treasure. According to Pegleg, he left Yuma and traveled for about two days taking "the usual route" and camping on the New River near the Slough Lakes. They decided to get an early start since it was about a thirty mile trek to Carrizo with virtually no water along the way. That morning they noticed that the mules were lose and it was nearly two hours later before they were all rounded up and packed. From here Mr. Bailey tells it best:
"About the middle of the afternoon Smith saw they were in for a bad sandstorm and an
hour later it was blowing so hard they could barely make headway against it. It was almost impossible to keep to the trail, for the blowsand covered it up or blew away all traces of it in less than half an hour. The outline of the mountains ahead was completely lost and even the gap leading to Carrizo was so badly blurred that Smith was not sure they were headed for it. Instead of letting up as it began to get dark, the wind blew harder. At last it quieted a little; but it was not until they began to ascend a gradual slope that kept getting steeper that Smith knew for certain they were off their course. They had wandered into one of those ramp-like canyons to the north of the trail they should have followed."
Come sunrise the storm was gone, and Smith now can try and acquire a bearing as to where he was. After all, he had wandered through the storm for most of the afternoon and late into the night, with very little visibility and little else except dead reckoning.
He traveled up the canyon a ways until he saw three small buttes, and thought it best to climb the middle one to scout out the terrain. Once atop, he was truly convinced that he was lost and feared that he might have to retrace his route in order to figure out where he was. This was not the making of a true desert guide and his reputation would surely suffer if this was his only option. According to Bailey Pegleg saw "nothing but Bad lands and he knew would have to take the long way into Carrizo. While up there he noticed that
the ridge was a sort of hogback made of three or four buttes connected by saddles". So the three clues would be Badlands, hog backed buttes and he knew he was north of the trail. If we look at the last known place he camped, the Slough lakes, and considering that the trail he was on was the old Butterfield stage route. Then factor in approximate miles knowing about how long he traveled, this would most likely place him somewhere in Barrett Canyon.
Barrett Canyon is a long and curvy canyon that runs about two miles long, and is located within the Carrizo Impact Area. So safe to say you cannot go there, unless you are willing to pay a hefty fine (we have heard reports of $3000 per person) and or possibly die. Live ordnance is still being pulled out of this area and it can cause a serious amount of damage if it explodes. The Navy has used this area for an air to ground impact bombing range as early as possibly the late forties, and up until 1959. The type of ordnance that was used, was anything from a small 3 pound to a 10,000lb bomb, including the 500 lb. semi-armor-piercing Tiny Tim rockets. The Navy has tried to clean the area multiple times, but still deems it has a hazardous place to go and does not allow anyone to enter the area, without special permission, which you will never be able to obtain.
But, how am I so sure that this is the fabled "ramp like canyon"? Simply said all of the clues are here, the canyon, the Badlands, and even the hog backed buttes. Besides it does have a history of gold and even some mining has been done in the area. There a story about a placed called the Teal Placers, from the book "Imperial Valley's Lost Gold" by Paul Gillett and Peter Odens, which covers the same spot. An early homesteader by the name of Wes Van Derpoel was camped out east of Calexico around 1901, when a man named Teal and a teenage boy approached his camp. Teal was on his way to work a placer deposit he had found a couple of years before and he discussed his deposit quite openly, which was and still is rare for a miner to do.
According to the book, Teal knew that Van Derpoel was an excellent miner and offered him a partnership in his adventure. He estimated that he would be able to dry wash about $700-800, which was a considerable sum back in 1901, but Van Derpoel declined. He thought that his upcoming homestead would bring more than Teal offered. A year later when Van Derpoel found out that Teal had died he talked to his relatives and thought he might be able to locate his find and for the next 35 years he searched. During the first meeting Teal told Van Derpoel that he camped in Barrett Canyon and that; "you get into the wash and go west until it turns right- and that's where my camp is."
In 1920 he found some old horse shoe nails and was sure he had found his lost camp. Paul Gillett states that in 1928 he found a "wedge-shaped mesa or plateau between the mountains and Carrizo Wash proper, maybe 300-400 acres. There are small washes or water courses on the flat. If you dig in the sand of these washes at a depth of 12-24 inches, you'll find clay bedrock that will show color on a dry washer". So it's safe to say that in the early 1900's gold was being mined and this wasn't the only isolated case.
There was another mining character by the named of Hank or Henri Brandt who also mined gold from the north end of the wash during the same time as Teal. He had a bad leg and sometimes referred to as "Ole Slue Foot", but I'm sure no one said that to his face. Hank was tough man from French and German stock, nearly 6ft, 200lbs with bushy eyebrows. He would work his mine in the winters, sold his gold in San Bernardino when he was done, and then stayed in San Diego for the rest of the year, living on his findings. He supposedly did this for nearly ten years and when he passed away, there was a fortune under his bunk.
Still not convinced, then maybe you have heard of the Lost Sheepskin Placers? Paul Gillett recalls that a farmer from the San Joaquin Valley arrived in El Centro in 1928, and his name may have been Moon. The farmer was in the company of a young American whose father came from Mexico shortly after gold was discovered in California. In his possession were some gold nuggets and a sheepskin map left to him and his family, after his grandfather had died. Paul was still in high school and had to get permission to take the day off so that he could go with these men to look for the gold. "I'm sure the map was genuine, if it was a fake it sure was a good job. The gold was tarnished and almost black on the outside- just the way the nuggets of the famous Pegleg Smith mine, remember?" It seems the young man's grandparents came up from Mexico around the 1870's via the Butterfield trail but became lost and separated from the rest of the train. When they finally arrived at the Carrizo station, they were told they missed the Los Angeles cut off and to go back and travel northeasterly towards Kane Springs. "After traveling some seven to eight miles from Carrizo, they crossed a wash in which some Indians were mining placer gold" Paul said. "They took a closer look at it and found that three or four feet under the sand, there was clay that acted like bedrock. On the clay and in the cracks there was gold in quantities to make a fortune." The point of reference for this find, was a
hill on the western edge which had a natural rock formation in the shape of a cross, the Indians called it Mission Hill. If you stood at the base of the rock you could easily spot the placer find. Moon's grandparents bought some gold from the Indians and finally settled in San Joaquin Valley, but never returned to look for more.
I know some people will look at this and call it folklore, does not contain any truth to it, but I beg to differ. We know that the Carrizo Badlands are nearby, black nuggets were found in the area, Barrett Canyon is north of the trail and if spend time with Google Earth, you will find three to four saddled buttes. With all of this being located in the middle of the Carrizo Impact Area, it would also explain why this yarn is still elusive and most likely will remain that way long after I'm gone.
For now, this legend will continue to be debated and discussed around campfires and desert cabins for the next generation and then some. But in a way, isn't it better that it is still lost, and that the romance and lure of discovering a true lost treasure is still there, beckoning the next wide eyed soul in search of adventure. After all, the true adventure is in the search, not the find…

Just a note on the Hank Brandt mine…
What would the chances of the Hank Brandt mine being the Bonanza Queen? It fits the area of interest and copper and Gold were pulled out of the area.

Features & Specs
More About This Model
Mention the term "station wagon" and most Americans think of old school Oldsmobiles with stick-on "wood" paneling and tail ends that bounced off the pavement at every dip in the road. A similarly unflattering reputation dogs hatchbacks, as they're generally associated with the underpowered rattle traps that invaded the U.S. in the fuel-starved 1970s.
Mazda is hoping to wipe away both reputations in one fell swoop with the arrival of two new versions of its well-regarded 6 sedan one a hatchback, the other an even larger sport wagon. There's no wood on the wagon and the hatchback looks similar to the sedan, but are Americans really ready to embrace the idea of good-looking and sharp-handling hatchbacks and wagons?
Drive either one of these new midsize Mazdas and previous notions of what a wagon and hatchback are like will be dispelled in an instant. Like their sedan counterpart, both vehicles display crisp handling, comfortable interiors and an overall feeling of agility that makes them instantly endearing to the driver and ultimately appreciated by those along for the ride.
Given that much of the historical backlash toward hatchbacks had to do with their awkward body lines, Mazda designed the five-door version of the 6 to look as much like the sedan as possible without giving up any of the inherent advantages of its more practical design. Company designers appear to have succeeded on this front, as the sleek hatchback is nearly indistinguishable from the standard sedan. At first glance, you would be hard-pressed to tell them apart, but a closer look reveals rear windows with a slightly different shape and a smoother transition from the rear glass to the tail.
In terms of equipment and trim, the hatch is, again, very similar to the sedan. There are two trim levels base "i" and uplevel "s" and two engines a 2.3-liter four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter V6. In order to reinforce the idea that the Mazda 6 five-door is every bit as sporty as its sedan counterpart, all hatchbacks come standard with 17-inch wheels and a sport appearance package. The package includes revised front and rear fascias, foglights, metallic interior trim, side sill extensions and a rear spoiler.
Beyond its sporty looks, the hatchback also boasts a reconfigured rear cargo area that opens up significantly more room for storage. With 22 cubic feet of available space, the hatchback configuration delivers nearly 50 percent more cargo space than the sedan. And not only is there more space, but it's easier to access thanks to the generous size of the hatch opening. Folding the rear seats down expands the cargo area to a maximum size of 58.7 cubic feet.
Should you need even more space and not mind a more traditional setup, the Mazda 6 wagon offers additional cubic footage in back while still managing to maintain a good-looking profile. In fact, with its gently sloping belt line and cleanly finished rear end, it's not a stretch to call the sport wagon the best-looking version of the three models. At 33.7 cubic feet, the wagon's rear cargo area offers substantially more room than the hatchback in its standard configuration, but its maximum capacity is only two cubic feet more at 60.4.
Available in s trim only, the wagon comes standard with the more powerful V6 engine to keep it quick even when loaded down. In a surprising move even for Mazda, the wagon also comes standard with a five-speed manual transmission, while a five-speed sport-shift automatic is an option. Like the hatchback, the wagon also gets standard 17-inch wheels but the sport appearance package remains on the options list. Additional dress-up items include smoked headlight lenses, an aluminum fuel door and a body-colored grille, as well as more traditional options like leather seats and side curtain airbags.
Not surprisingly, both the hatchback and the wagon feel much like the sedan behind the wheel. Standard seat-height adjustment combined with a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel puts you right where you need to be to get comfortable, and the leather-wrapped steering wheel is just the right size for quick spinning. The big analog gauges look more European than Japanese in their simplicity, another sign that these aren't your average point-to-point commuter cars.
With 220 horsepower, the 3.0-liter V6 in the wagon and uplevel hatches isn't the most powerful six in its class, but the way in which it delivers those ponies makes it more enjoyable than its raw numbers would suggest. This is an engine that loves to spin and the standard gearbox gives you the option of running it out at every opportunity. Although the hatch and wagon are slightly heavier than the sedan (by less than 100 pounds), there's no sense that the engine is straining any more than usual under the added weight. The slick-shifting five-speed is worth the effort if you're so inclined, but the five-speed automatic works well enough that those who opt for its convenience won't feel completely left out of the fun.
When the 6 sedan debuted last year, it garnered considerable praise for being so nimble that it felt more like a sport sedan than your average family four-door. Thankfully, little of that dexterity has been lost in either of the two new models, as both deliver a lively, fun-to-drive feel that few other cars in the class can match. The steering is light without being vague, and although both cars tend to plow into turns like most front-wheel-drive cars, easing up on the throttle brings the nose around predictably every time. The extra weight in back gives the wagon slightly better overall balance, but both cars are equally impressive when it comes to handling corners.
The fact these new vehicles deliver all the impressive dynamics of the sedan along with added practicality should be enough to score some attention. The hatchback almost makes the sedan obsolete given that it delivers additional cargo space in a nearly identical package. The wagon does the hatch one better by squeezing even more cargo room into a shape that's arguably better-looking than either of its smaller siblings. Will either of these iterations of the Mazda 6 mark the second coming of hatchbacks and wagons in the U.S.? Not likely, but for those who put aside those outdated reputations and get behind the wheel, the rewards will be worth it.

Allow Me to Tell You Why Giving Yourself Your First Brazilian Is a Terrible Idea
It's basically SAW: Beauty Edition.
Ah, nail art. It has become virtually synonymous with the archetypal self-starter blogger. Even making a joke about the cliché of nail art online is clichéd at this point. In fact, just mentioning the coinage "nail art" at the top of this page probably deterred the most jaded of online media consumers at the get-go.
That said: HEAR YE, people! For this space has now been commandeered as a safe zone for the anti-nail art movement. Confused? Then ask yourself the following questions:
Do you find yourself trying to recreate those timely, cutesy nail art Pinterest postings only to find that those cute Halloween pumpkin tutorials made your nails look like mottled, gangrene-y messes?
Do you pine to execute the perfect tie-dye nail or candy-cane stripe, but you're too damn shaky and unfocused to pull it off? So much so that you end up accidentally painting your coffee table more than your nails?
Then stick it to these unnaturally detail-oriented Internet phenoms (whom I'm extremely jealous of, by the way) and do what I do:
Go full amateur artist on them bad boys. That's right! Stroke and drip and dab and streak each nail based on IMPULSE and impulse alone. Let your nail be your CANVAS, darling, and let only the brush and your id do the talking.
Hell, you don't even need to stop with the nails. Let the glitter and glam spill over onto your nail beds, down your knuckles, onto your hands! Go NUTS with artistic inspiration!
I mean, OK, I know some of you are going to be like averse to looking like a preschooler who got their hands on some Elmers and glitter, but isn't it kind of FUN?! Like a mini riot against having to look perfect and put together all the time? I mean, in the long run, isn't nail art just another way to police our interests and appearance?!
Aaaand I'm going overboard. Much like I did with my nails.
So what dreamy, sparkly, vibrant colors did I use?
Plenty of OPI, Essie, and sexy China Glaze of course!
Let's start with OPI, shall we?
Can we just talk about the fact that I stuck to the theme colors? The whimsical Honey Ryder and Woman's Prague-ative (I see what you did there, "post feminist" nail color designer) colors technically come from a promotional line for Oz the Great and Powerful, which, I think we can all agree, fully sucked the big one.
Then that dreamy, Elle Woods pink sparkle comes from their Minnie Mouse couture line. How precious are those chunky sparkles? So fun!
Believe it or not, I used these sheer colors under the strokes of vibrant colors. They served as a glittery backdrop for the crazy colors. Then I kind of used them as detailing after I was done, adding dabs and strokes to empty canvas areas on my nails that needed more pizzazz.
Then there's the obligatory Essie. Because Essie is amazing. And I don't usually fall for bandwagon beauty products!
That Barbados Blue with the gold and sparkles really added a sort of Victorian feel to my nails. Like chipping furniture from Versailles or something.
I added streaks of dark and white polish to add to the chipping paint feel of the nail look.
Finally, I used China Glaze. Now, China Glaze is my favorite, cheap, go to nail color. I cannot leave a Sally Beauty without reaching for the China Glaze on sale. Even if I go in there to buy emergency bobby pins, I leave with a new, three-dollar shade. Every time. Because, DUH. Who wouldn't?
That flashy pink number is called 108 degrees because it is hot, hot, hot (I can't believe I just typed that). The red is appropriately named Ruby Pumps, and it is a BLOOD red. The sparkles make it even more fun and sexy.
That Audrey Blue color is a reliable solid and minty color. I used it similarly to how I used that Essie blue, and streaked it with light-hearted whimsy to add some delicate colors to my messy hodge-podge.
So, would you ladies try this anti-nail art? Do you think it's just too much of a mess? Are you a nail art phenom who took offense at my thinly veiled anti nail art campaign? (Again, I'm just jealous of your abilities, guys and gals, duh.)
Deliberate, please.

Iran Can Produce Nuclear Weapons, but Will Never Do So, Says Top Lawmaker
Prominent Iranian lawmaker Gholamreza Mesbahi Moghadam says the country can easily produce the highly enriched uranium used to build atomic bombs, but it is not Tehran's policy to go that route.
A prominent Iranian lawmaker says Iran has the knowledge and scientific capability to produce nuclear weapons but will never do so.
Gholamreza Mesbahi Moghadam says Iran can easily produce the highly enriched uranium that is used to build atomic bombs but it is not Tehran's policy to go that route.
Moghadam made the comment in an interview with the parliament's news website, icana.ir, late Friday. His views do not represent the Iranian government's policy. It is the first time that a prominent Iranian politician has publicly stated that Iran has the technological capability to produce a nuclear weapon.
The U.S. and its allies accuse Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies.
The Washington Post reported on Friday that U.S. President Barack Obama recently passed a message to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which signaled that the United States would agree to an Iranian civilian nuclear program if they proved they were not developing a nuclear bomb.
According to David Ignatius, the Washington Post's senior columnist specializing in intelligence matters, Obama passed Khamenei the message through Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who visited Tehran this week.

A wrong gift can cause damage to the business. Moreover, the company will lose the huge amount that is invested on the large number of gifts with an aim to publicize the brand name. To avoid such situations, choose the best quality promotional business gifts from the most reputed online stores. By browsing the internet you are sure to pick the right gifts from the well versed corporate gifts in Singapore. The main difference between the two sets of gift items is their application at the particular event. While the conference items and the writing articles find their best application in conferences or seminars, the caps, mouse mats or key rings will act as the most cost-effective brand display articles that can be distributed to thousands of visitors gathered at such shows. For celebrating somebody's special days like birthdays, anniversaries, do not forget to contact the well versed floirst in Singapore who will send the flowers directly to the homes. By this action one can express the emotions which will be dully appreciated by all the family members.
Choose the appropriate gifts
Choosing the appropriate gifts for men may indeed be a perplexing task. Moreover, with the wide array of options available, it becomes even more difficult. The most important thing you need to consider is the interest of the receiver. Some popular gifts for men are aftershave, fragrance etc. Moreover, the clear price list and am idea of the features allows you to get the best products easily. If you are looking for gifts for your man, you can easily have a look at various fashion stores. The wide range of products assures to cater to your needs and get some of the best products. In fact, if it is a special occasion, you need to be extremely selective in choosing the gift. A well versed signage maker in Singapore more often make advertisements for corporate gifts during the New Year and other festive times like Christmas. The first thing to be considered is the quality of the promotional gifts that you plan to purchase. Keep in mind that the corporate gifts that you send out will reflect on the reputation of your company. If you send out shabby gifts than your entire exercise will be futile because the people receiving them will not be impressed. As a matter of fact, they will only remember your company for all the wrong reasons.
