14-The Brandenburg Prison execution room, a reminder that 1,700+ political victims of the Nazi regime were executed here. This sign is still from the East German times, they preferred the term antifascist vice Nazi.
from Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain (1727):
The force of this engine is so strong, the head of the ax being loaded with a weight of lead to make it fall heavy, and the execution is so sure, that it takes away all possibility of its failing to cut off the head; and to this purpose, the Hallifax people tell you another story of a country woman, who was riding by upon her doffers or hampers to Hallifax Market, for the execution was always on a market day (the third after the fact) and passing just as the ax was let fall upon the neck of the criminal, it chopt it thro' with such force, that the head jumpt off into one of her hampers, and that the woman not perceiving it, she carry'd it away to the market.
All the use I shall make of this unlikely story, is this, that it seems executions were so frequent, that it was not thought a sight worth the peoples running out to see; that the woman should ride along so close to the scaffold, and that she should go on, and not so much as stop to see the ax fall, or take any notice of it. But those difficulties seem to be much better solved, by saying, that 'tis as reasonable to think the whole tale is a little Yorkshire, which, I suppose, you will understand well enough.
Karla Faye Tucker was the first woman executed in Texas since the Civil War. She was put to death in 1998. The photo was taken a few weeks before her execution.

鈴ヶ森死刑場 (Suzugamori Shikeijō) Suzugamori Execution Grounds is probably the most famous and most accessible execution grounds of Edo (the name of Tōkyō before 1868). It’s located on the old Tōkaidō highway, near the old post town of Shinagawa. In the Edo Period, it was located next to the sea at Edo Bay. Today the former killing floor is the only bit of land that is still preserved and it is designated as one of the 100 Historic Spots of Shinagawa.
This monument is a bit of a mystery. It supposedly says 鯉塚 koizuka (carp mound) in the old script (maybe a kanji nerd could enlighten me, because I think that first kanji is not 鯉). Anyways, the reason it's a mystery is that so-called "carp mounds" are a reference to a Buddhist priest from the Nara Period named 行基 Gyōki. He is associated with healing the terminally ill. The presence of this monument is speculative. Ideas range from "he's here to help the souls of career criminals change their ways (sickness that leads to execution)" to "a faction of Buddhists wanted him here" in much the same way many Americans insist on inserting Jesus into everything.

"In front of this place was the quemadero (execution fire) of the Inquisition of 1596 to 1771."
Sign in front of the former Convent of San Diego. Just around the corner from the Jose Marti statue and across from the Alameda Central. The Inquisition headquarters (Palace of the Inquisition) still stands near Plaza Santo Domingo and is now a medical school and museum.
Lacika is 2.5 years old and this was the first time he lost a friend, the snowman. Cryed for 10 minutes after that!
Helped a friend work on a Rap music video yesterday. One of the things I did was run the Fog Machines for this girl's entrance shots. My friend is using a RED ONE camera, one of the finest available for digital cinema. The girl with the gun was awesome, she was gorgeous and talented (and very nice).
Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.
English Civil War Society
By kind permission of the Royal Parks Department, the King’s Army Annual March and Parade will again follow the route taken by Charles I from St James Palace on the Mall to the place of his untimely death at the Banqueting House in Whitehall, London. This event is an established part of the London calendar and has followed a similar format now for forty years. The parade assembles from 11am outside St James Palace on The Mall and marches to form up on Horse Guards Parade, a considerable privilege for an organisation such as ourselves, from where a wreath is carried across Whitehall and placed at the execution site. A short service follows and awards and commissions are conferred on deserving members of the King’s Army.
Three Anti-treaty IRA men from Wexford were among 77 prisoners executed by firing squad by the Irish Free State during the Irish Civil War 1922-1923. They were executed at this spot.

Mid-consumption.
Nice composition and great execution. The kitchen was obviously more than capable. I also like how the parmigiano reggiano added more depth to the (rather flavourless) medium grilled beef. The pairing with sweet grilled corn, dense meaty eggplant and toothsome potatoes was quite enjoyable. (I ended up (as usual) clearing my dining companion's plate.)
This was the night's secondi for the $45 Tasting Menu. Honestly, a great value and an enormous amount of very well made food for one.
