I stopped to tell her how awesome her dredlocks were and asked if I could take a photo. I learned it is a 6 hour process to undo, wash her hair and redo. Wow!

From Wikipedia - The Old St. Louis County Courthouse was a combination Federal and State courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri that was Missouri's tallest habitable building from 1864 to 1894 and now is part of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial.
Land for it was donated in 1816 by Judge John Baptiste Charles Lucas and St. Louis founder René Auguste Chouteau who required the land be "used forever as the site on which the courthouse of the County of St. Louis should be erected." The Federal-style building was designed by Lavielle and Morton and completed in 1828. As street commissioner in 1823-26, Joseph Laveille devised the city's street name grid with ordinal numbers for north-south streets and arboral names for the east-west streets. In 1839 ground was broken on a courthouse designed by Henry Singleton with four wings including an east wing that comprised the original courthouse and a three-story cupola dome at the centre. It had an overall theme was Greek Revival.
In 1846, slave Dred Scott sued for his freedom in the building based on the fact that he had lived in free states. All of the trials, including a Missouri Supreme Court hearing were held in the west wing. The case was to ultimately be decided by the US Supreme Court in 1856 in Dred Scott v. Sandford which ruled against him in 1856. The decision was to polarise sides in the run-up to the American Civil War.
In 1851 Robert S Mitchell began a redesign in which the original courthouse portion on the east wing was torn down and replaced by a new east wing. From 1855 to 1858 the west wing was remodelled after the Dred Scott hearings took place in it. In 1861 William Rumbold replaced a cupola with an Italian Renaissance cast iron Dome modeled on St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. The US Capitol dome which was built at the same time during the American Civil War is also modeled on the basilica. The St. Louis dome was completed in 1864. Rumbold's dome in the courthouse is wrought and cast iron with a copper exterior. Four lunettes in the dome having paintings by Carl Wimar depicting four events in St. Louis history. Ettore Miragoli painted over them in 1880 but they were restored in 1888.
Louis Brandeis, a US Supreme Court judge of the early 20th century, was admitted to the bar in the building in 1878. The courthouse was abandoned in 1930 when the Civil Courts Building was built and descendents of Chouteau and Lucas sued to regain ownership. In 1935 St. Louis voted a bond issue to raze nearly 40 blocks around the courthouse in the centre of St. Louis for the new Jefferson National Expansion Memorial. President Franklin Roosevelt declared in an Executive Order the area would be a national monument and the courthouse formally became part of the new monument area in 1940. The roof was replaced in 1941 and rehabilitated again in 1955 and 1985. The courthouse remained the largest structure in the monument until the Gateway Arch, from which this photo was taken, was built in 1965.

Shown here are images from the exhibit "Irrepressible Conflict or Blundering Generation? The Coming of the Civil War," on display in the Marshall Gallery (first floor rotunda) and the Special Collections Research Center Lobby in Swem Library at the College of William and Mary. The exhibit will be on display from April -September 2011.
The following is taken from the label text presented in this case:
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 and Bleeding Kansas:
Democrat Stephen Douglas of Illinois, who had been Henry Clay’s top lietenant during the crisis of 1850, did not intend to stir up sectional conflict when, as chair of the Committee on Territories, he proposed that Kansas and Nebraska be organized as territories on the basis of popular sovereignty. He just wanted to build a railroad west from Chicago, and he needed territorial governments to be established to do that. But he blundered. By the Missouri Compromise, which the act repealed, this territory was supposed to be free. After intense debates, Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854.
The consequences were far-reaching. The national political parties began breaking up, leading to more regionally-based parties. Northern Whigs and some Northern Democrats formed the new Republican Party, opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories. The Democratic Party, having lost many Northern members, became decidedly more Southern.
Both North and South tried to claim Kansas under popular sovereignty. Northern abolitionists rushed antislavery settlers to Kansas, while proslavery “Border Ruffians” poured across the border from Missouri to seize control of the elections. Both groups organized governments and applied for territorial status. President James Buchanan supported the pro-slavery Lecompton government, but Congress refused to accept it. As the displayed scrapbook shows, Kansas disintegrated into civil war.
Dred Scott v. Sandford, 1856-1857:
The Supreme Court blundered in the case of Dred Scott v. Sandford. Scott was an enslaved man, once the property of the Blow family of Southampton County, Virginia. A later owner had taken him into a free territory and a free state, where he lived for some years, then returned him to a slave state. Scott sued for his freedom. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, a Marylander who had freed his own slaves, nonetheless sympathized with the South and wanted to settle the issue once and for all. Instead of simply refusing Scott’s appeal on the basis that he was not a citizen and had no right to sue in courts (which is what Taney believed), Taney’s majority opinion ruled that the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was unconstitutional, because Congress could not ban slavery in any territory, and therefore Scott remained a slave. Far from settling the issue, Taney made it worse. The decision enraged many people throughout the North and not just abolitionists. For Dred Scott personally, the result was better; the Blow family, now living in Missouri and antislavery, regained ownership of Scott and freed him.
John Brown’s Raid on Harper’s Ferry, 1859:
In October 1859, John Brown, an extremist who had participated in Bleeding Kansas, organized a raid by a small, racially-mixed group of abolitionists on the U.S. arsenal at Harper’s Ferry in Virginia [now West Virginia], hoping to ignite a slave rebellion. U.S. Marines, led by Robert E. Lee, soon captured him. Northerners, including abolitionists, initially repudiated his actions. But during his trial for treason against Virginia and his subsequent execution in December 1859, he became a martyr and a hero to many. Southern whites reacted with horror, convinced that many Northerners wanted to kill them.
Included in this section are the top part of a pike used by Brown’s raiders and various documents. Two letters to Virginia Governor Henry Wise (W&M Board of Visitors 1848)—one from a Virginia sympathizer living in New York and another from a Northerner—warn of possible raids to free Brown from the Charles Town jail. William Taliaferro (W&M 1839/1842, later rector) commanded the Virginia militia that protected the area during this tense time; the bound volume records orders for the day of Brown’s execution.
John Floyd and Corruption:
The corruption of the Buchanan administration further weakened the Democratic Party and handed Republicans another issue heading into the election of 1860. The most corrupt reputedly was Secretary of War John Floyd of Virginia. He kept track of his Washington social life in this ledger, with a street-by-street listing of the people he visited in 1858. It is open to New Jersey Avenue, where Vice President John Breckinridge and Senator Stephen Douglas lived in adjoining houses; they would both be candidates in the presidential election of 1860.
The Election of 1860 and Secession of the Deep South:
The election of 1860 demonstrated just how divided the nation had become. In the North, Republican Abraham Lincoln ran against Democrat Stephen Douglas, and in the South, Democrat John Breckinridge ran against Constitutional Unionist John Bell. Southern extremists did not believe Lincoln, the winner, when he vowed that he did not wish to interfere with slavery where it already existed. South Carolina seceded in December 1860, followed by Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Louisiana in January and Texas in February, all before Lincoln was inaugurated on March 4. In February, they established the Confederate States of America, with its capital at Montgomery, Alabama. As can be seen in the “Union Poem” and Botetourt resolutions, many Virginians wanted to remain in the Union.
William & Mary Men Try to Save the Union, 1860-1861:
From the election in November to Lincoln’s inauguration in March, the country suffered a lack of leadership. President Buchanan refused to exercise any of his presidential authority. Lincoln had none to exercise, since he was not yet president, and he became an object of ridicule when he sneaked in disguise at night through Baltimore to avoid a rumored assassination plot. William and Mary men did their best to fill the leadership void and save the nation. In December, Senator John J. Crittenden (W&M 1805/1807) of Kentucky proposed a compromise that would have extended the Missouri Compromise line to the Pacific Ocean and would have applied to any lands acquired in the future, provided a federal slave code, and banned personal liberty laws. It was not acceptable to many in the North, including Lincoln. Virginia’s legislature invited the states to send delegates to a peace convention in Washington in February, chaired by W&M rector John Tyler (W&M 1806). This convention also failed to achieve compromise.

Dred Scott. Wood engraving from Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, 27 June 1857. Missouri Historical Society Photographs and Prints Collections.
Site where Dred and Harriet Scott likely lived while held illegally at Fort Snelling. Like many of the buildings at the fort, this is a reconstruction. A staff member in 1820s military dress sits before the fireplace telling visitors about the Scotts.
Dred Scott was the slave of a US army surgeon who moved frequently from one post to another. From 1836 to 1840, Scott lived at forts in free states or territories. He and his family were taken back to Missouri in 1840.
In 1846 Scott attempted to purchase his family's freedom. His owner refused. Scott sued because they technically should have been free already. Legal precedent dating back to 1824 held that slaves who had had prolonged residence in a free state would remain free when taken to a slave state. "Once free, always free." The legal battles went back and forth and eventually reached the US Supreme Court.
In a notorious 1857 decision, Chief Justice Roger Taney ruled, in strong and ugly language, that African Americans had no rights and were not US citizens. In particular, since they were not citizens, they had no right to sue. His opinion overturned decades of legal precedent and outraged antislavery Americans. They saw the ruling as further evidence that the "Slave Power" dominated the national government and was increasingly voiding the rights of free states.

There are very few movies I like, and the most recent Dredd is one of them.
•Tweaked some areas between the two figs to make Anderson look more feminine. Slimmer shoulders and jaw, some modified plates near the chest to give it a more hourglass shape, 1 plate shorter, etc. Since Dredd is taller, I could add a plate to give him a crotch lol
•Rookie Anderson has Pearl Gold bits and fresh new Red trim, Dredd has Dark Gold bits and Rust trim.
•There are clips in back to store a shotgun, baton, etc. All the pouches on the belt can also be modified of course.
This Fiat Siecento appears to be owned by a chap called Rob, who runs an Airbrush art company called Dred-Fx. As a mobile advert this works very well. I like the gate hinges on the door and the gates type bolt just under the standard door lock.

A veces el mundo ejerce un complot gigantesco para que las cosas parezcan hechas a drede. A veces, es nuestra propia mente la que confabula con nuestros sentidos para llevar a cabo su caprichoso plan...
Así pues, de entre trescientos cinco sitios que tenía para esperar, elegí sin más ese. Yo, que siempre suelo elegir interior, la mesa del fondo a ser posible y si hay una columna que poner delante, mejor que mejor. Pero elegí ese, exterior, desierto de otras cabezas que pudieran ocultarme como parte de la muchedumbre. Un lugar con un servicio además de caro, desagradable.
Y en el suelo? en el suelo un recorte azul, que no era ni dócil ni mucho menos suave pero que, a mí, se me antojó sarcástico terciopelo.
Terciopelo que no es terciopelo y que, sin embargo, no puede ser otra cosa que no sea esa....

Description: Dred Scott and his wife Harriet Scott were slaves living in St. Louis. In 1846, they sued their slave owner Irene Emerson for their freedom, and eleven years later the freedom suit ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States. By this time, their ownership had passed to John Sanford. The Supreme Court case Scott vs. Sanford was heard in March 1857. The Court ruled that slaves are not citizens, and therefore cannot even bring lawsuits. The Scotts had to remain slaves. Through another exchange of ownership, Dred and Harriet ended up with Taylor Blow in St. Louis. Blow emancipated them in May 1857. Dred Scott lived for about a year after gaining his freedom. Harriet died in 1876. Pictured here is the original daguerreotype of Dred Scott. Harriet's was lost over time, although drawings made from her image are widely available.

66419 passes the site of Mirfield Steam Shed with 6M07 11:09 Roxby to Brindle Heath "Binliner". 8/7/2013. This was back when Greater Manchester waste went to Roxby via Standedge. Only eleven years ago, but it seems like a lifetime. This location was on its last legs at the time, due to encroaching vegetation and then palisade fencing finished it off.
