Elliott was the runt of the litter as well as the only Bassett that wasn’t tri-colored. No one wanted him so my roommate got him for free, and made up some “occasion” to give me this adorable 12-week old puppy. At first I groaned, we already had three dogs, but within minutes I was crazy in love with this little guy.
In this picture you can see his forehead wrinkled with concern over his tennis ball. That wasn’t just playing, he was extremely possessive over food, toys, everything. If Elliott had it in his mouth there was no getting it back. This also included one of my hair ties. He grabbed it, and by the time I got to him…gulp! It was gone. It took a trip to the vet, an x-ray and a little vomiting action to give Elliott some relief since nature didn’t take its course. Nevertheless, he was a joy, and fit in well with my three other dogs.
One day all that changed. His usual, playful possessiveness turned into aggression. It was so bad, that he would be fine one minute, then snapping and snarling the next. Something was terribly wrong.
I immediately took him to the vet. Elliott’s blood work was off the charts, and countless x-rays didn’t reveal the problem. Exploratory surgery was the next step.
This would be the part where some pet owners would jump ship, but I wouldn’t hear of it. Before the doctor could even finish explaining the astronomical costs to me, I told him to do it. Elly was not only just a baby, he was family.
The day of the surgery I paced and worried waiting for the call and the results. The call came with more bad news. He had an inoperable tumor. The doctor called while Elliott was still under anesthesia giving me the option to just let him go. This simply wasn’t going to happen, I wanted to bring him home.
I then asked the dreaded question… “how long?” to which he replied…“he will let you know.”
That time came far too soon. One morning I was washing dishes and could see Elliott in the backyard trying to crawl under my ‘67 Mustang. My heart dropped into my stomach. I picked up my keys and went outside. When I got to him, only his bottom and tail were peeking out. I squatted down and rubbed his rump and managed to choke out “come on Elly it’s time.” He responded with a half-hearted tail wag.
I then stood up and just stared into the distance not knowing what to do next. Trips to the vet were always a nightmare, and I just didn’t have the heart to drag him out.
Then he shocked me by backing out from under the car and sitting next to me. I just walked silently to the truck and he followed, jumping in on his own accord.
On the drive to the vet I had mental pictures of pulling him from the car while he fought to stay in, but this too, wasn’t the case. He was out of the car and at the front door ahead of me.
When we got inside we immediately went into the treatment room. Just inside was a little couch. I sat down and Elliott jumped up, pulled himself close to me and rested his head in my lap.
I stroked his head, and choked on the enormous lump in my throat. Tears just flowed, streaming down my face and falling on top of Elliott’s head.
After what seemed like forever the doctor came in and offered his condolences, but told me we had to get him on the table. I refused. He told me he wasn’t sure if he could get the vein, but I was determined not to move him. “Please just try” I begged.
The doctor got on his knees in front of us. He found a vein and gave him the injection.
There was no noise, no tremble, just peace.
As a pet owner I realize how lucky I am. I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life, and I was there when he drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life.
Elliott was four years old.

Wild Bill Elliott (1904-1965) was an American film actor. He specialised in playing the rugged heroes of B Westerns, particularly the Red Ryder series of films.
Wild Bill Elliott or William Elliott was born Gordon Nance on a ranch near Pattonsburg, Missouri, in 1904. He was the son of Leroy Whitfield Nance and his wife, Maude Myrtle Auldridge. The young Nance grew up within twenty miles of his birthplace; he spent most of his youth on a ranch near King City, Missouri. His father was a cattle rancher and commissioner buyer for the Kansas City stockyards. Riding and roping were part of Nance's upbringing. He won first place in a rodeo event in the 1920 American Royal livestock show. He briefly attended Rockhurst College, a Jesuit school in Kansas City, but soon left for California with hopes of becoming an actor. By 1925, he was getting occasional extra work in films. He took classes at the Pasadena Playhouse and appeared in a few stage roles there. By 1927, he had made his first Western, The Arizona Wildcat, playing his first featured role. Several co-starring roles followed, and he renamed himself Gordon Elliott. But as the studios made the transition to sound films, he slipped back into roles as an extra and bit parts, as in Broadway Scandals, in 1929. For the next eight years, he appeared in over a hundred films for various studios, but almost always in unbilled parts as an extra.
William Elliott began to be noticed in some minor B Westerns, enough so that Columbia Pictures offered him the title role in a 15-part serial, The Great Adventures of Wild Bill Hickok (Sam Nelson, Mack V. Wright, 1938). The serial was so successful, that Columbia promoted Elliot to starring in his own series of Western features, replacing Columbia's number-two cowboy star Robert "Tex" Allen. Henceforth Elliott would be known as Bill Elliott. Within two years, he was among the Motion Picture Herald's Top Ten Western Stars, where he would remain for the next 15 years. He became famous for using the line, "I'm a peaceable man ... ", which was inevitably followed by an outburst of violence. Elliott reached his peak of popularity at Columbia when he was teamed with Tex Ritter for a series of films. In 1943, Elliott signed with Republic Pictures, where his Westerns had somewhat larger budgets. Republic cast him in a series of Westerns alongside George 'Gabby' Hayes. The first of these, Calling Wild Bill Elliott (Spencer Gordon Bennet, 1943), gave Elliott the name by which he would be best known and by which he would be billed almost exclusively for the rest of his career. Following several films in which both actor and character shared the name Wild Bill Elliott, he took the role for which he would be best remembered, that of Red Ryder in Tucson Raiders (Spencer Gordon Bennet, 1944). A series of fifteen films about the famous comic strip cowboy and his young Indian companion, Little Beaver (Robert Blake). Elliott played the role for only two years but would forever be associated with it. Elliott's trademark was a pair of six guns worn butt-forward in their holsters.
Wild Bill Elliott's career thrived during and after the Red Ryder films. He also had his own radio show during the late 1940s. In 1951. he moved to Monogram. He was now back in low-budget productions, as the B Western lost its audience to television. When Monogram became Allied Artists Pictures Corporation in 1953, it phased out its Western productions. Bill's last Western premiered in 1954. Elliott finished out his contract playing a homicide detective in a series of five modern police dramas, his first non-Westerns since 1938. His final film was Footsteps in the Night (Jean Yarbrough, 1957). Elliott made two TV Western pilots, Marshal of Trail City and Parson of the West, which were not picked up. Elliott worked for a time as a spokesman for Viceroy cigarettes and hosted a local TV program in Las Vegas, Nevada, which featured many of his Western films. Elliott was a breeder of Appaloosa horses and showed them in breeder contests. In 1927, Elliott had married Helen Josephine Meyers. Their daughter, Barbara Helen Nance, was born in, 1927. Following his retirement in 1957, he moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he bought a ranch. Elliott and his wife were divorced in 1961. He married Dolly Moore that same year. Wild Bill Elliott died there from lung cancer in 1965, aged 61. He is interred at Palm Downtown Mortuary/Cemetery in Las Vegas.

not removing these plants until spring but I placed the tops near the ground in case any wildlife in the garden can use it. in spring I'll cut the main plants down low.
Grain freighter at the Louis Dreyfus grain elevator, Elliott Bay, Seattle. The first version, which I removed, was selenium toned and too dark, which was too oppressive, and looked as though I had shot it at night. I lightened the photo and changed the toning to "coffee"---a warmer toning for a slightly cozier feel.
Elliott Smith - a true indie icon. This was the first doll I knitted and I stuck to the knitted Icons basic doll pattern. As I made more I altered the pattern to get a closer likeness to the person.

The Primary EoN glider, also known as EoN Type 7 S.G.38, was a basic training aircraft developed in the UK post-World War II. This simple glider featured a high, cable-braced wing, a traditional empennage, and an open-truss framework, closely resembling the German SG 38 Schulgleiter. Initially designed for aeroclubs, the Primary EoN was later utilized by the Air Training Corps and the Combined Cadet Force as the Eton TX.1 in 1948.

As a birthday gift, my friend Heather got me Autumn de Wilde's photography book on one of my favorite musicians, Elliott Smith. It's an awesome book and an awesome gift!
When I saw this contact sheet of stills from the "Son of Sam" video, I had to try taking a shot of Elliott "fading away". So sad :(
Co. G, 13th PA. Infantry, Co. E, 76th PA. Infantry during the Civil war and Co. G, 20th KS. Infantry during the Spanish American War.
CAPT. DAVID STEWART ELLIOTT. For more than half a century the name Elliott has been one of important associations with Kansas history. The quality of public service has distinguished the family in all generations. The first of the name in Kansas was a Pennsylvania soldier, also named David Stewart Elliott, who was killed by Quantrell's band of raiders during the Civil war. The late Capt. David Stewart Elliott of Coffeyville, long known as a lawyer, editor, fraternal organizer, and soldier, also gave up his life as a sacrifice to the country during the Philippine war. Several of the children of the late Captain Elliott are filling worthy places in their respective spheres, including his daughter, Miss Leila C. Elliott, who is now city treasurer of Coffeyville.
David Stewart Elliott, father of the late Captain Elliott, was born at Lewistown, Pennsylvania, was reared and educated and married in that state, and was an editor by profession. He served as a soldier in the Mexican war; and though quite an old man at the time he enlisted in 1861 in a Pennsylvania regiment of infantry. He was in the service in Kansas, and his company was on its way to Fort Smith to assist in repelling the Price invasion of Missouri and Kansas when he was killed by Quantrell's men at Baxter Springs. This was in 1864. He and others of the command were captured by the Quantrell raiders, were lined up against the wall and all shot. This Pennsylvania soldier whose record deserves special mention in any history of Kansas had only one child, the late Capt. David Stewart Elliott. The mother of Captain Elliott was born at Everett, Pennsylvania, in 1822 and died at Coffeyville in 1892.
At Everett, Pennsylvania, Capt. David Stewart Elliott was born December 23, 1843. When about fifteen years of age he entered a newspaper office to learn the printing trade and in April, 1861, enlisted in Company G of the Thirteenth Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry. That was a three months' regiment, and at the end of his term he re-enlisted in Company E of the Seventy-sixth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was with that command for more than three years. In 1868 he became editor of the Bedford County Press at Everett, Pennsylvania, and continued in that capacity until 1873. On February 9, 1869, he was admitted to the bar of Bedford County, but after practicing a few years resumed his work as editor and was editor of the Everett Press from 1881 to 1885.
In May, 1885, Captain Elliott became a member of the Montgomery County Bar, locating at Coffeyville, but soon answered the call to his old profession as a newspaper man and from June 5, 1885, to September 1, 1897, edited the Coffeyville Weekly Journal. Early in 1892 he established the Daily Journal, and was also its editor until 1897.
In May, 1898, the Twentieth Kansas Regiment was enlisted for the Spanish-American war, and Company G was recruited at Independence, consisting for the most part of Montgomery County boys. The officers of the company were: D. Stewart Elliott, captain; H. A. Scott of Sycamore, first lieutenant; and William A. McTaggart, son of Senator McTaggart, second lieutenant.
As every Kansan knows, the Twentieth Kansas made its record of achievement in the Philippines. Captain Elliott, whose qualifications as a military leader were enhanced by his previous service in the Civil war, went with the regiment to the Philippines early in 1899, and while in line of duty at Calocan, just north of Manila, on February 28, 1899, was shot by a Filipino sharpshooter and died a few hours later. His remains were brought home and on April 14, 1899, were laid to rest at Coffeyville with military honors. He had entered the Civil war at the age of seventeen, and he was in his fifty-sixth year when death came to him in the Far East.
Something of Captain Elliott's talents and characteristics can be learned by a brief quotation from an old history of Montgomery County: "After locating in the county Captain Elliott devoted only a portion of his time to the practice of law. His tastes led to the formation of his fellow men into associations, political parties and other organizations, and the promulgation and advocacy of their principles, rather than to the irksome and methodical work demanded in the practice of law. For this work of his choice he was by nature admirably equipped. He was a fluent and pleasant speaker and at once took a leading part in meetings to effect such organizations, or to advocate their tenets. As a writer he was terse, graceful and effective, and as a soldier enthusiastic and courageous. During his residence in Coffeyville Captain Elliott was its attorney for one or more terms and a member one term of the lower house of the Kansas Legislature, where he was at once a conspicuous member. At his death he was a member of sixteen lodges."
Captain Elliott was a republican, and was filling the office of city clerk at Coffeyville at the time he resigned to enlist for service in the Spanish-American war. As an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church he served as president of the Epworth League and superintendent of the Sunday school, and held all the lay offices in the church. Among the fraternities of which he was an influential member were the following: Keystone Lodge No. 102, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Coffeyville Chapter No. 89, Royal Arch Masons; St. Bernard's Commandery No. 10, Knight Templars, at Independence; with the Scottish Rite bodies of Masonry; Coffeyville Lodge of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows; Camp No. 665, Modern Woodmen of America; Woodmen of the World; Select Friends; Knights and Ladies of Security; Knights of Pythias; Lodge No. 279, Ancient Order of United Workmen; Post No. 90, Grand Army of the Republic; also the organization of Sons of Veterans.
Captain Elliott married Miss Clara Barndollar, who is still living at Coffeyville with her children. She was born at Everett, Bedford County, Pennsylvania, September 24, 1846, and represents an old American family. One of her ancestors was John Williams, who served as a private under Capt. David Hendershot in the First Battalion of Bedford County during the Revolutionary war. Another of her revolutionary ancestors was Capt. Richard Dunlap, who was captain of the Bedford Company in the First Battalion of Militia commanded by Col. William Parker, Captain Dunlap was killed while fighting at Frankstown, Pennsylvania, on June 3, 1781. Another ancestral connection of interest was Capt. James Martin. He married Sarah Thomas, the great-grandmother of Mrs. Captain Elliott, and they were married at the home of Benjamin Franklin on October 19, 1759. Captain Martin was a first lieutenant and afterwards promoted to captain of a company from Pennsylvania in the Revolution.
A brief record of the children of the late Capt. David S. Elliott and wife is as follows: John B., who was a member of his father's company and who is now superintendent of the Pullman Company at Kansas City, Missouri; Miss Leila C.; Irene, who lives at Coffeyville with her mother; James Russell, who enlisted in his father's company at the age of fifteen, and was the youngest soldier in the American army during the Spanish-American war; Grace, at home with her mother; and David S., Jr., who was educated at Baker University and is the republican nominee for county clerk of Montgomery County.
Miss Leila C. Elliott, now city treasurer of Coffeyville, was born at Everett, Pennsylvania, but was reared and educated at Coffeyville. She possesses unusual business ability and efficiency in the routine and detail management of public offices, and for a time was deputy city clerk and afterwards was elected and served as city clerk for three years. In 1913 she became city treasurer, and is giving a most excellent administration of that important office. Miss Elliott is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and is active in the Methodist Episcopal Church.

Elliott is a velcro dog and likes to climb, on things, on us or on his buddies, but he does it so gently, everybody lets him ;). And when he looks at you with those eyes, what can you say?!

The headstone of Joseph H. Elliott who served in the Third Regiment
Massachusetts Volunteer Cavalry.
According to Wright State University ( www.wright.edu/~jack.mcknight/andersonville/mcknight/3rdc... ):
"The 3rd Regt. Vol. cav. was made up of from already existing units, the 1st, 2rd, and 3rd Unattached Companies of Massachusetts Cavalry and the 41st Regiment of Massachusetts Infantry. The 1st Company of Cavalry was raised by Capt. S. Tyler Read, and its members were mustered in mostly during September, October, and November, 1861. The 2rd Company was raised the same fall, but the muster-in of its members was not completed until the 27th of December. Its commanders was Capt. James McGee, The 3rd company was raised contemporaneously with the 1st and 2rd, and its organization was completed and the last of its members mustered in about the middle of December, 1861. Its commander was Capt. Henry A Durviage. The first two of the above units were known as the 1st and 2rd Companies of Mounted Rangers. The rendezvous of all three companies was Camp Chase, Lowell, Massachusetts.
On January. 13, 1862, the companies sailed from Boston Harbor on the transport CONSTITUTION, and arrived at Ship Island in the Gulf of Mexico, Feb. 12. Here they were organized into a battalion under Caption Read as acting major. These companies, acting most of the time independently, were stationed mostly at New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Plaquemine during the first year of their service, performing considerable outpost duty and suffering some loss.
The 41st Regt. Mass. Vol. Inf. was recruited in the late summer and autumn of 1862. Its first rendezvous was Camp Stanton, Lynnfield, but it was later moved to Boxford. Its companies were mastered in on various dates between Aug. 5 and Nov. 1, 1862, and Thomas E. Chickering, an accomplished officer in the Mass. Vol. Mil., and at one time commander of the New England Guards, was commissioned colonel. The regiment left for New York, Nov. 5, 1862, with orders to report for service in the Department of the Gulf.
It sailed from New York, Dec. 4, 1862, on the transport NORTH STAR, accompanied by Maj. Genl. N. P. Banks and staff, and enjoyed a pleasant passage to New Orleans. On Dec. 17, the regiment disembarked at Baton Rouge, La., where its headquarters remained until Mar. 28, 1863, when it started on the Teche expedition, marching via Brashear City to Opelousas, La., and returning thence to Berwick City, May 26, bringing in a large train of supplies and contrabands. While at Opelousas the regiment was mounted and became commonly known as the 41st Regiment Massachusetts Mounted Infantry. The entire expedition returned to Algiers, opposite New Orleans, about the last of May.
By Special Order No. 144, Department of the Gulf, dated June 17, 1863, the three companies of unattached cavalry were consolidated with the 41st Mounted Infantry to form the 3rd Reg. Mass. Vol. Cav. This made a regiment of 13 companies, the 2rd and 3rd Unattached Companies becoming Companies "L" and "M" respectively, while the 1st Unattached Company was officially known as "Read's Company". The companies of the 41st Infantry retained their original letters from "A" to "K".
The 3rd Cavalry was in front of Port Hudson during the latter days of the siege, and after the surrender, July 9, Colonel Chickering was made provost marshal of the captured city. During this period the camp of the 3rd Cavalry was at Plains Store on the Baton Rouge road. The regiment remained near Port Hudson until the close of the years 1863, doing scouting and outpost duty and having numerous collisions with the enemy.
Near Jackson, Louisiana., Aug.3, a part of the regiment while on a scout lost four killed and 10 missing. Near White Plains, Nov. 9, it was engaged with loss. At Plains Store, Nov. 30, it was in conflict with the enemy, losing five killed, five wounded, and five captured.
On January. 5, 1864, the regiment, now commanded by Lieut. Col. Lorenzo D. Sargent, became a part of Dudley's (4th) Brigade, in Lee's Cavalry Division. It now joined the Red River expedition, advancing westward and northwestward from New Orleans along the same route taken in the Teche expedition the year previous. Passing to Opelosas and beyond, on March 20 it arrived at Alexandria, La., on the Red River. On the 21st, is assisted in the capture of Henderson's Hill about twenty-five miles beyond Alexandria on the road to Shreverport. Passing on through Natchitoches, on April 8, it was engaged with the enemy at Sabine Cross Roads about three mile from Mansfield, Louisiana., the entire Union force being defeated and driven back toward Pleasant Hill, the 3rd Cavalry losing nine men killed, 73 wounded and missing, and 157 horses.
Retiring to grand Ecore near Natchitoches, and thence via Henderson's Hill to Alexanfria, on April 29, it crossed the Red River and proceeded via Simmsport to Morganzia, La., on the Mississippi River, reaching that place May 22. At yellow Bayou near Simmsport in an engagement, May 15 to 18, it lost two men killed and 12 wounded and 39 horses. Resting for over a month at Morganzia, on June 25, the regiment was dismounted by Special Order No. 52, Headquarters, Department of the Gulf, and again equipped as infantry. About July 3, it was sent down the Mississippi to Algiers.
The regiment having been ordered North, on the 15th of July, it embarked for Fort Monroe, and twelve days later it arrived at Old Point Comfort. The following day, July 28, the first seven companies under Lieut. Col. L. D. Saragent reported at Chain Bridge near Washington and proceeded to Monocacy where they went onto camp. On Aug. 15, the remainder of the regiment arrived. It now became a part of Molineux' (2rd) Brigade, Grover's (2rd) Division, Emory's (19th) Corps, Army of the Shenandoth. At Winchester, Sept. 19, it was sharply engaged, losing 18 killed and nearly 90 wounded. At Fisher's Hill, Sept.22, it loss was slight. On Oct. 19, at Ceder Creek it was engaged with a loss of six killed, 31 wounded, and nine missing. It went into camp Nov. 9 near Opequan Creek about two miles from Winchester, but on Dec.26, it entrained for Harper's Ferry, marching thence to Remount Camp in Pleasant Valley, Maryland., where it began the work of preparing winter quarters.
Near the close of the year the three independent companies, "L", "M", and Read's Company, were mustered out and their places taken by two new companies enlisted for one year. Thus it was reduced to a normal cavalry regiment of 12 companies, but was still equipped as infantry until about the middle of February, 1865, when it was remounted again as cavalry, and engaged in various activates in the lower valley until after the surrender of Lee and the collapse of the Confederacy. About March 12, Col. Burr Porter succeeded Col. Sargent in command of the regiment.
On April 20, 1865, the 3rd Cavalry started for Washington, camping at Falls Church two days later. The original members of the regiment, who had enlisted when it was the 41st Massachusetts Infantry, were mustered out May 20. The regiment then joined Sheridan's Cavalry Corps and participated in the Grand Review, May 23.
Ordered to the West, on June 14 it broke camp at Cloud's Mill and proceeded to St. Louis, Mo., and thence to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. About July 21, it was reduced to a battalion of six companies. Two days later the battalion was supplied with fresh horses and ordered to Fort Kearney, Nebraska. Arriving on Aug. 16, about twelve days later it was ordered back to Fort Leavenworth for muster out. Reaching this post Sept. 18, on the 28th the battalion was duly mustered out of the United States service. Returning home via Canada West the men reached Boston Oct. 5, and three days later were paid off and discharged."

A mournful audio recording, pressed into a rectangular cut flexi-record.
The audio sound wave is recorded as wiggle in the shape of a groove. Low frequencies are reduced in amplitude for the recording (and then boosted on playback) as otherwise the grooves would need to be too widely spaced, and the recording time would be too short. High frequencies are boosted in amplitude for the recording (and then muted on playback) as otherwise the "scratching" of small imperfections in the sides of the grooves would sound too noisy.
More or less, the best we had until digital came along...
