Five copies of the volume are known to exist: two are held at Sherborne Castle (both covered with grey boards), one copy is held at Sherborne School Library, one at the Bodleian Library at Oxford University and one at the British Library.
GEORGE MEDD BUTT QC (1797-1860) was born on 18 January 1797 at Sherborne, Dorset son of John Butt [a cordwainer?] and Frances. He was christened at Sherborne Abbey on 25 February 1797. In 1797, John Butt owned and occupied premises in Hound Street.
Siblings: Thomas Butt; Sarah Butt; Susannah Butt (1794-); Frances Elizabeth Butt (1803-1875, married name Storey); Jane Butt (1807-), married name John Jeanes, New Bond Street, London).
George Medd Butt attended the writing school at Sherborne, Dorset. He was bound as an apprentice at the printing office of Cruttwell’s Journal in Sherborne.
George Medd Butt went on to became editor to one of the minor London papers which supported his establishment in the legal profession
In 1830, he was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of the Inner Temple, and went on the Western Circuit, where he soon rose into reputation, and acquired an extensive practice.
George Medd Butt was married by licence at Sherborne Abbey on 7 September 1830 to Frances Jane Ffooks. The marriage was conducted by the Rev. Thomas Woodforde. Frances Jane Ffooks (1808-1887) was the daughter of Thomas Ffooks (1775-1845) and Frances Sophia (née Woodforde) (1777-1842) of Greenhill House, Sherborne. Thomas Ffooks was a solicitor, Clerk of the Peace, Governor & Warden of Sherborne School, Steward of the Sherborne Hundred, and placed notices on certain bridges in Dorset: ‘ANY PERSON WILFULLY INJURING ANY PART OF THIS COUNTY BRIDGE WILL BE GUILTY OF FELONY AND UPON CONVICTION LIBABLE TO BE TRANSPORTED FOR LIFE BY THE COURT. T. FOOKS’ (Grey’s Bridge, Dorchester & Sturminster Newton Bridge)
In 1843, during the Chancellorship of Lord Lyndhurst, George Medd Butt was made a Queen’s Counsel (QC), and shortly afterwards was elected a bencher of the Inner Temple. He was also Conservative MP for Weymouth and Melcombe Regis (returned 10 July 1852).
George Medd Butt made his last will and testament on 9 December 1858. He was then living at 17 Eaton Square, Middlesex. By his will, George left to his wife the dwelling house, stable, coach house and premises at 17 Eaton Square for life. After her death the same to my godson, Alan George Howell. Gives to his wife all my household furniture, plate, linen goods, chattels and effects belonging to the dwelling house, stable, coach house and premises.

To my sister Frances Elizabeth Storey, widow, £500. To my sister Jane, the wife of John Jeanes of New Bond Street, £400, for her sole and separate use free from the control of her husband. To Susan Salter, my wife’s maid, in case she shall be living with my wife at the time of my decease, £50 free and clear of legacy duty. Appoint my wife and my brother Thomas Butt executrix and executor. Residue of my estate and effects to Thomas Butt upon trust to pay the interest and annual proceeds to my wife for her life and after her death or remarrying, to be paid in equal share to: Thomas Butt, Susan Butt, Frances Elizabeth Storey and Jane Jeanes for life. One moiety of the residue to Alan George Howell and his sister Gertrude Lucy Howell. Witnessed by Charles Lempriere of the Inner Temple, Barrister, and William Henry Smith, 3 Tanfield Court Temple.
By a codicil made to his will on 31 May 1860, George Medd Butt, gave the additional legacies: to my brother Thomas Butt £200; to my sister Susan Butt £200; t my sister Frances Storey £200. Witnessed by F.J. Butt, 17 Eaton Square, George Morris, 17 Eaton Square.
George Medd Butt died on 11 November 1860 at 17 Eaton Square, London. Probate granted to his widow, Frances Jane Butt, and his brother, Thomas Butt of 46 Bedford Row, gent.
Frances Jane Butt installed a window, designed by Clayton & Bell, in the south aisle of the nave of Sherborne Abbey, in memory of her husband George Medd Butt.
Devizes and Wiltshire Gazette, 15 November 1860:
'Death of Mr G.M. Butt, Q.C. We regret to announce the death of Mr George Medd Butt, Q.C. formerly M.P. for Weymouth, which event occurred at his residence in Eaton Square on Sunday last. The deceased gentleman was the son of Mr John Butt, of Sherborne, and in early life practised for some years with great success as a special pleader. In 1830, being then 33 years of age, he was called to the bar by the Hon. Society of the Inner Temple, and went to the Western Circuit, where he soon rose in reputation, and acquired an extensive practice. In 1843, during the Chancellorship of Lord Lyndhurst, Mr Butt was made a Queen’s Counsel, and shortly afterwards was elected a bencher of the Inner Temple. At the general election in July, 1847, Mr Butt offered his services to the electors of Weymouth, but was defeated, losing his election, however, by only three votes. In July, 1852, he again stood for Weymouth, and this time with more success, as he was at the head of the poll, the other candidates being Colonel W. Freestun and Mr Oswald. Mr Butt during the time he was member for Weymouth was rarely absent from his Parliamentary duties, and was a frequent speaker, although he never addressed the House at any great length. He protested adherence to the Conservative party, but was opposed to the re-imposition of a duty on foreign corn. He was in favour of Mr Spooner’s annual motion for an inquiry respecting Maynooth, and was so far a Reformer that he desired the removal of all serious blots and anomalies in the representative system. It was confidently expected that Mr Butt would have been raised to the judicial bench during Lord Derby’s tenure of office, but his chance never came. In private life and in the profession of which he was a member, Mr Butt was held in high esteem.'
Dorset County Chronicle:
'George Butt (for so he was called at Sherborne) was the self-taught architect of his own fortune. He was born in that town, of poor but respectable parents, who gave him the education they could afford at a long established writing school, over-shadowed by the venerable old Abbey Church. Being naturally studious and plodding, he spent his evenings at home in eargerly reading whatever books he could procure. His mother was anxious that he should be early bound as an apprentice at the printing office of Cruttwell’s Journal. Here he began his literary career when about 13 years of age, and in his leisure hours at the office devoted himself to studies of all kinds. He had a taste for poetry, and this he fostered by copying into a common-place book every scrap of verse that passed through his hands in setting up the types. After this training he aspired to be himself an author and wrote a creditable poem, entitled “Sherborne Castle,” which was published by subscription, and patronised by the whole town and neighbourhood. The amount realised was £100, a great sum for George in those days, and which he richly deserved, from his unwearied assiduity. To make the best interest of his fortune, one of his patrons, Peter Batson, prevailed on a Quaker of unbounded reputation for honesty to take, as a great favour, the lad’s riches at five per cent., on his own security; but Obadiah soon after failed in business, and cheated George, and many other hard-working youths, of the fruits of their industry. The event was not without its moral, and its ultimate advantage – Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. George acted upon this advice, and struggled manfully against his misfortune, and years after, when he had been admitted as a barrister at the Temple, Peter Batson, the father of the Dorsetshire attorneys, gave him his first brief. The stepping-stone to the long robe was the press, for, on leaving Sherborne, he became editor to one of the minor London papers, by which he raised funds for his support until he was established in the legal profession. This was at length accomplished by close application to business, and taking pupils for instruction at his chambers, in Tanfield Court; and then he ventured on the Western Circuit, with what result we need not here detail, as his position in society, and his title Q.C., are the best proofs of his success. When in his zenith, Mr Butt offered himself as a candidate on the Conservative interest, to represent Weymouth, and sat for that borough during two consecutive Parliaments, but failed in again obtaining the hnour, after the dissolution in 1857. Mr Butt, in 1835 [sic], was married to Frances, eldest daughter of Thomas Ffooks, esq., many years Clerk of the Peace for the county of Dorset, but leaves no issue to inherit his fortune and his good name.'
E.C. Ffooks, 'The Family of Ffooks of Sherborne' (Privately printed in 1958): footnote on page 30: 'Frances Butt (née Ffooks) gave to Sherborne Abbey in her husband’s memory a stained glass window in the South Aisle embodying the History of St. Joseph of Arimathea.'
John Hutchins, 'History of Dorset' (3rd ed. Vol.IV), p.241:
'The south aisle, called St Mary’s Aisle, has three Perpendicular windows, of which two are filled with diapered quarries, and the central one with stained glass by Clayton and Bell, embodying the History of St. Joseph of Arimathea. It is intended as a memorial to the late George Medd Butt, esq., formerly MP for Weymouth and a native of Sherborne. The window was presented by his widow.'

The Depressing Joy of Chris Ware
By Andrew D. Arnold
"The nut's a genius," maestro George Szell reportedly said about the eccentric Canadian pianist Glenn Gould. The quote describes comix artist Chris Ware as well. Author of last year's critically-acclaimed graphic novel, "Jimmy Corrigan: Smartest Kid on Earth," Ware has finally come out with issue fifteen in his comicbook series "The Acme Novelty Library." After a year and a half of waiting, rest assured that his reputation(s) remain intact.
Just look at the size of that thing. A foot and a half tall and over ten inches wide, it reaches the proportions of menus at Italian "family-style" restaurants. It sure doesn't look like a comicbook. But then, Ware has never produced anything that looked like a comicbook. It's part of his aesthetic. Sub-titled "Book of Jokes," it matches the dimensions of "Acme" number seven, from five years ago. It also follows that issue's format of putting a self contained "gag" on each page rather than a continuous story.
But first you have to get past the cover. It must be opened flat to be properly appreciated. A series of concentric circles form the center of a beautifully symmetric pattern. It resembles one of those mystical organization charts that some kook would meticulously work out, including the cycle of seasons, evolution, day into night, birth into death and all of human thought. Look more closely and you see it also involves Ware's particular motifs of stupidity, loneliness and the mundane.
Much of the jokes get their humor from this kind of existential shaggy dog structure. Quimby the mouse eats breakfast, takes a nap, rushes to the video store before it closes, chooses movies he's seen before but knows he likes and, in a jump of fifty years, lies on his deathbed in an empty hospital room. Or else, in a series of gags titled Tales of Tomorrow, an overfed man-child makes instant purchases on his view screen and schlurps product through a tube in the wall. A trip to the moon results in his doing more of the same in a different place.
Empty consumerism becomes the running theme of the book, typified by the series of stories about Rusty Brown, a nasty collector of pop-culture detritus. He lives in filth but owns the complete Summer of '87 Happy Meal toy series. It's the only work by Ware to clearly condemn a character without offering any sort of forgiveness. This gives the Rusty Brown vignettes a certain savagery but with limited scope. The whole book, owing chiefly to its "gag" format, begins to feel like the same note being hit over and over. It lacks the rich development of the Jimmy Corrigan series. Still, Ware's single note resonates like a tuning fork for America. After putting down "Acme" 15 I opened a piece of junk mail soliciting satellite TV that began, "Bring joy into your life." The Wareian "gag" completed itself in my head: the dish on the window sill, and me alone on the couch in my underwear staring at Jessica Alba.
Even if you don't like the jokes, you can always marvel at the design of the thing. "Acme Novelty Library" takes its title literally. You never get just comix. This issue has a special insert on cardstock of a cut-out, constructible miniature nickelodeon. It would probably work too. Elsewhere he fills an entire giant-sized page with a joke treatise, printed in a phone-book-sized font, on the different types of collectors. As always, even the indicia gets the Ware treatment, in that typically fussy prose of his: "Also, please note, should you be a German 'Hip Hop' band, or a Belgian night club, or a student filmmaker with a project due soon and no ideas — the contents of this volume fall under the general copyright" It goes on.
Those who have never picked up a copy of Chris Ware's "Acme Novelty Library" owe it to themselves to do so. His dedication to the holistic experience of a single comicbook issue has vastly increased the prestige of the medium. Being a stand-alone issue, number 15 will make an excellent introduction. Unlike some past issues he has made it easy to read. Just try not to get too creeped out by the monomaniacal amount of work he obviously puts into it.
"Acme Novelty Library #15" can be found at better comicbook stores and the publisher's website.

Help, maybe it's an age thing, but can anyone confirm wether this is the 1965 edition....or not ?
Allocation dates are up to November 64, so I'm presuming what I think is possibly the obvious, but it doesn't actually say 1965 Edition anywhere.
Library of Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom
More than just a building, the Library of Birmingham (LoB) designed by the Dutch Mecanoo Architects is a People’s Palace, a centre for learning, information and culture that unites people of all ages and backgrounds. The design extends the space of the street indoors. A cantilevered volume not only provides shelter at the entrance, but also serves as a grand balcony with a discovery garden. The circular courtyard cut out of the square is a protected outdoor space that invites daylight deep into the building. Visitors move from one floor to the next through interconnected and overlapping rotundas that provide natural light and ventilation. Ever-changing vistas unfold through the delicate filigree skin of interlocking circles, inspired by the tradition of metalwork in this former industrial city. The prominent golden rooftop rotunda houses the Shakespeare Memorial Room from 1882. Situated between the concrete Repertory Theatre (REP) from 1962 and the listed Baskerville House from 1936, the LoB transforms the largest public square in the heart of the city with three distinct realms for history, culture and entertainment. At 35,000 m², the LoB welcomed over 2.7 million visitors in the first twelve months. New workshops, staff accommodation and a 300-seat auditorium with foyer are shared by both the library and the integrated and renovated REP. The library attained a BREEAM excellent rating.
The £189m Library of Birmingham, which houses a collection of one million books, has opened its doors in September 2013. It was officially opened by Malala Yousafzai, the teenager shot in the head in Pakistan by the Taliban for championing women's rights.
I saw a lot of icebergs in my travels, but this was one of the few where you could see a little bit of what is usually hidden under water.
From Wiki: Because the density of pure ice is about 920 kg/m³, and that of seawater about 1025 kg/m³, typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water. The shape of the underwater portion can be difficult to judge by looking at the portion above the surface. This has led to the expression "tip of the iceberg", for a problem or difficulty that is only a small manifestation of a larger problem.
Videos & MP3s: Top 10 Albums of 2010
10. Vampire Weekend | Contra
Released in January, Vampire Weekend's sophomore album held on to a spot in the top 10 in a year that saw a slew of fantastic releases. In an era where a lot of up-and-coming bands fall flat before their second LP even leaks, Vampire Weekend knocked it out of the park and rose above the slew of buzz bands.
9. She & Him | Volume II
I can't deny the enjoyability factor of this album. Sure, it's been done, but it's still great. I spent most of my summer whistling along to Zooey Deschanel singing in my earbuds and M. Ward twangin' away on his guitar. This album played even better live.
8. The New Pornographers - Together
For a bunch of Canadians led by a guy with a lisp and a faux red head, these guys really rock. Together is a real treat of singles highlighting the all star cast. Week after week I would find a new favorite song on this album, and they were impressive all three times I saw them live.
7. Broken Bells | Broken Bells
James Mercer and Brian Burton (DJ Danger Mouse) produce music that sounds exactly as its supposed to. They both posess a type of musical prowess very few artists can match. It's not a coincidence two of the top albums this year were produced by Burton. His upcoming Rome project is an early favorite for next years album of the year 2011.
6. The Dead Weather | Sea of Cowards
Despite catching two phenomenal Dead Weather shows at an abandoned trucking company in Chicago, and in the rain at Bonnaroo, Sea of Cowards slipped down my list, as it didn't hold up over the months. The shear talent of Jack White, Allison Mosshart, Dean Fertita, and Jack Lawrence warrants their placement on the list but the Dead Weather still feels like a lesser version of all their respective pieces, the White Stripes, the Kills, Queens of the Stoneage and the Greenhornes. Look for everyone to return to the bands that made them famous in 2011.
5. Arcade Fire | The Suburbs
An Arcade Fire album takes several listens to properly take in -- when this one finally clicked after seeing them at Lollapalooza it was absolutely incredible. This album is ahead of its time to the point it could have easily been #1 of 2014.
4. Portugal. The Man | American Ghetto
If there was a subcategory this would win Album of the Spring. About a week after playing an overflowing tent at Coachella, I watched Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? with these guys and caught them play to about 20 art students at Columbia College in Chicago. Although highly conceptual, this album is easily accessible and gives me high hopes for future major releases.
3. Beach House | Teen Dream
The only band on the list I haven't seen live yet, It was incredibly difficult to not place this album at #1. I think this is the highest quality release of the year and cemented Victoria Legrand and Alex Scally's Beach House as one of the biggest indie acts in the game. This album is huge and bombastic and ethereal at the same time, overwhelmingly beautiful and simple all at once.
2. Black Keys | Brothers
"Tighten Up" was one of the few non-Gorillaz tracks to slip into my top 25 played. Produced by Danger Mouse, the Black Keys took a creative turn towards a more nostalgic funkier sound that led them to be one of the most played bands of the year. Even if you don't own this album, you undoubtedly heard it nearly everytime you turned on a television, featured in ads, and television shows.
1. Gorillaz | Plastic Beach
This album dominated my 2010 in a way no other could match. All 16 songs are in my iTunes top 25 most played. Even as the Plastic Beach crumbles away, Damon Albarn & Jamie Hewlett's third phase Gorillaz will remain a masterpiece that will weather the generations. Along with half the Clash in Paul Simonon and Mick Jones, the band stepped out from behind the cartoons and dominated both Coachella and Glastonbury, and finally conquered North America on their first world tour.

These are the four low placemats I made in the low volume QAL. I really like them! I'm so used to working with lots of colors and high contrast. It was so interesting to work with low contrast and minimal color. It's amazing how the design still holds. I plan on quilting these with straight lines in the neutral areas.

For the purposes of this investigation, the practical capacity of an intersection is defined as the maximum volume of traffic that can be discharged by an intersection in an hour under ideal conditions with most of the vehicles being able to clear the intersection without waiting more than one signal cycle. Where the volume to capacity ratio exceeded 1.00 delay and congestion was prevalent during peak hour traffic loads and conditions were considered unsatisfactory.
