Shot at the Portland Urban Iditarod. After shooting this I thought a fitting title would be the title to a Massive Attack song with the following lyrics.
"I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you."
With Remembrance day tomorrow here in the UK……This image is in dedication to all dogs and animals that serviced and died in wars that they did not understand….But doing ones duty to the ones that they loved……And still serve in places like Afghanistan………Helping to protect our boys and girls….We owe you…And we love you. …..
Goth subculture shows its dark side through self-harm and suicide rate
By Sam Lister, Health Correspondent

YOUNG people who become involved with Goth culture — the punk-rock-influenced genre usually associated with black clothes, make-up and androgyny — have a much higher tendency to harm themselves deliberately, research suggests.
A study by researchers at the University of Glasgow, published today in the British Medical Journal, indicates that almost half of teenagers who identify with the Goth subculture have attempted suicide or otherwise tried to hurt themselves. Even after accounting for factors such as social class, parental separation, smoking, alcohol use or previous depression, the team found that Goth identification remained the single strongest predictor of self-harm or attempted suicide.
The researchers surveyed 1,258 young people during their final year of primary school and again at ages 13, 15 and 19. They were asked about self-harm and association with a variety of youth subcultures, including Goth. It was found that being a Goth was strongly associated with a lifetime prevalence of self-harm (53 per cent) and attempted suicide (47 per cent).
Although 19th-century literature and horror film subject matter, such as vampires, are strong “Gothic” influences, the Goth movement became prominent during the early 1980s within the Gothic rock scene, an offshoot of the post-punk era. It is associated with characteristically Gothic tastes in music and clothing, ranging from lavish and androgynous Renaissance and Victorian dress to the black clothing, make-up and hair associated with contemporary popstars such as Marilyn Manson.
Research suggests that deliberate self-harm is common among young people, with rates of between 7 and 14 per cent in Britain. It is particularly widespread in certain populations and may be linked to depression, attempted suicide and various psychiatric disorders in later life.
The contemporary Goth youth subculture has previously been linked with self-harm, but until now there has been little supporting evidence. The Glasgow team analysed rates of self-harm among 14 other common youth subcultures. Some — such as punk and mosher — were also linked with self-harm, but the association was strongest for Goths.
Robert Young, the research leader, said that although fairly small numbers identified with the subculture, rates of self-harm and attempted suicide were high among the group. He said: “One common suggestion is that they may be copying subcultural icons or peers. But since our study found that more reported self-harm before, rather than after, becoming a Goth, this suggests that young people with a tendency to self-harm are attracted to the Goth subculture.”
Mr Young added that it was possible that being a Goth could provide young people with valuable social and emotional support from their peers, rather posing a risk to them. Michael van Beinum, a consultant child and adolescent psychiatrist and an adviser to the study, said: “For some young people with mental health problems, a Goth subculture may be attractive, as it may allow them to find a community within which it may be easier for their distress to be understood.
“Social support is important for all young people to help them to cope with the difficulties they face. Therefore, finding a peer group of like-minded Goths may, for some, be adaptive.”
# The suicide rate in England is at its lowest level since record-keeping began in 1910, statistics indicate. Figures published by the National Suicide Prevention Strategy indicate that for the years 2002, 2003 and 2004, there were 8.56 suicides per 100,000 people — a figure that the Government wants to reduce to 7.3 deaths per 100,000 for the period 2009, 2010 and 2011.
CULTURAL ROOTS
# Many Goths regard themselves as being at odds with mainstream culture because of a dissatisfaction with society and a wish to be different, or they have a particula
Heinrich Harm Heinck, one of eight Nazi saboteurs who landed by submarine on U.S. shores In June 1942, is shown in a full head-to-toe mugshot after his arrest.
Heinrich Harm Heinck was born in Hamburg on June 27, 1907. As an adult Heinck worked for the Hamburg-American Shipping Company and eventually served on the S.S. Westphalia as a machinist.
In 1926 Heinck jumped ship in New York City and entered the United States illegally. He worked a variety of jobs, mostly as a machinist or tool and die maker. In 1933 he married Anna Goetz.
Heinck was a member of the German-American Bund (or federation), a pro-Nazi organization active in the United States.
Out of work, Heinck returned to Germany in 1939 where he was employed at the Volkswagen factory at Braunschweig. There he met Richard Quirin, who he became close friends with. Heinck’s wife Anna followed him and they lived with her parents and had one son.
Exempt from the draft because of their jobs, Heinck and Quirin were nevertheless both recruited for Operation Pastorius because of their knowledge of the USA, their mechanical abilities and their ability to speak English.
They were trained at the Brandenburg Sabotage School. In June 1942 the pair landed on Long Island with two others from a U-boat. Heinck was arrested, as was Quirin, after the other two reported the mission to the FBI.
In all, six agents were tried by a military tribunal and executed. After his death in the electric chair, Heinck was buried with the other five in the Washington D.C. potters field under a wooden marker which read 277. In 1982 a grave marker was placed at the Blue Plains burial plot.
Background to Operation Pastorius
After the U.S. declared war on Germany following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Nazi leader Adolph Hitler authorized a mission to sabotage the American war effort and attack civilian targets to demoralize the American civilian population inside the United States.
Recruited for Operation Pastorius, named for the leader of the first German settlement in America, were eight German residents who had lived in the United States.
Two of them, Ernst Burger and Herbert Haupt, were American citizens. The others, George John Dasch, Edward John Kerling, Richard Quirin, Heinrich Harm Heinck, Hermann Otto Neubauer, and Werner Thiel, had worked at various jobs in the United States.
All eight were recruited into the Abwehr military intelligence organization and were given three weeks of intensive sabotage training in the German High Command school on an estate at Quenz Lake, near Berlin, Germany. The agents were instructed in the manufacture and use of explosives, incendiaries, primers, and various forms of mechanical, chemical, and electrical delayed timing devices.
Their mission was to stage sabotage attacks on American economic targets: hydroelectric plants at Niagara Falls; the Aluminum Company of America's plants in Illinois, Tennessee, and New York; locks on the Ohio River near Louisville, Kentucky; the Horseshoe Curve, a crucial railroad pass near Altoona, Pennsylvania, as well as the Pennsylvania Railroad's repair shops at Altoona; a cryolite plant in Philadelphia; Hell Gate Bridge in New York; and Pennsylvania Station in Newark, New Jersey.
The agents were also instructed to spread a wave of terror by planting explosives on bridges, railroad stations, water facilities, and public places. They were given counterfeit birth certificates, Social Security Cards, draft deferment cards, nearly $175,000 in American money, and driver's licenses, and put aboard two U-boats to land on the east coast of the U.S.
Before the mission began, it was in danger of being compromised, as George Dasch, head of the team, left sensitive documents behind on a train, and one of the agents when drunk announced to patrons at a bar in Paris that he was a secret agent.
On the night of June 12, 1942, the first submarine to arrive in the U.S., U-202, landed at Amagansett, New York, which is about 100 miles east of New York City, on Long Island, at what today is Atlantic Avenue beach.
It was carrying Dasch and three other saboteurs (Burger, Quirin, and Heinck). The team came ashore wearing German Navy uniforms so that if they were captured, they would be classified as prisoners of war rather than spies. They also brought their explosives, primers and incendiaries, and buried them along with their uniforms, and put on civilian clothes to begin an expected two-year campaign in the sabotage of American defense-related production.
When Dasch was discovered amidst the dunes by unarmed Coast Guardsman John C. Cullen, Dasch offered Cullen a $260 bribe. Cullen feigned cooperation but reported the encounter. An armed patrol returned to the site but found only the buried equipment; the Germans had taken the Long Island Rail Road from the Amagansett station into Manhattan, where they checked into a hotel. A massive manhunt was begun.
The other four-member German team headed by Kerling landed without incident at Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, south of Jacksonville on June 16, 1942. They came on U-584, another submarine. This group came ashore wearing bathing suits but wore German Navy hats. After landing ashore, they threw away their hats, put on civilian clothes, and started their mission by boarding trains to Chicago, Illinois and Cincinnati, Ohio.
The two teams were to meet on July 4 in a hotel in Cincinnati to coordinate their sabotage operations.
Dasch called Burger into their upper-story hotel room and opened a window, saying they would talk, and if they disagreed, "only one of us will walk out that door—the other will fly out this window." Dasch told him he had no intention of going through with the mission, hated Nazism, and planned to report the plot to the FBI. Burger agreed to defect to the United States immediately.
On June 15, Dasch phoned the New York office of the FBI to explain who he was, but hung up when the agent answering doubted his story. Four days later, he took a train to Washington, DC and walked into FBI headquarters, where he gained the attention of Assistant Director D. M. Ladd by showing him the operation's budget of $84,000 cash.
Besides Burger, none of the other German agents knew they were betrayed. Over the next two weeks, Burger and the other six were arrested. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover made no mention that Dasch had turned himself in, and claimed credit for the FBI for cracking the spy ring.
Information that Dasch and Burger had exposed the operation was withheld from the public until after World War II was over in order to make it appear to the American public and to Nazi Germany that the FBI was effective in preventing sabotage.
Fearful that a civilian court would be too lenient, President Roosevelt issued Executive Proclamation 2561 on July 2, 1942 creating a military tribunal to prosecute the Germans. Placed before a seven-member military commission, the Germans were charged with the following offenses:
1) Violating the law of war;
2) Violating Article 81 of the Articles of War, defining the offense of corresponding with or giving intelligence to the enemy;
3) Violating Article 82 of the Articles of War, defining the offense of spying; and
4) Conspiracy to commit the offenses alleged in the first three charges.
The trial was held in Assembly Hall #1 on the fifth floor of the Department of Justice building in Washington D.C. on July 8, 1942.
Lawyers for the accused, who included Lauson Stone and Kenneth Royall, attempted to have the case tried in a civilian court but were rebuffed by the United States Supreme Court in Ex parte Quirin, 317 U.S. 1 (1942), a case that was later cited as a precedent for the trial by military commission of any unlawful combatant against the United States.
The trial for the eight defendants ended on August 1, 1942. Two days later, all were found guilty and sentenced to death. Roosevelt commuted Burger's sentence to life in prison and Dasch's to 30 years because they had turned themselves in and provided information about the others.
The others were executed on August 8, 1942 in the electric chair on the third floor of the District of Columbia jail and buried in a potter's field in the Blue Plains area in the Anacostia section of Washington, D.C.
In April 1948, U.S. President Harry Truman granted clemency to Dasch and Burger who were deported to the American zone in Germany and required to live in that area or face re-imprisonment.
Fourteen other people were charged with aiding the eight saboteurs. They were Walter and Lucille Froehling, Otto and Kate Wergin, Harry and Emma Jaques, Anthony Cramer, Helmut Leiner, Herman Heinrich, Maria Kerling, Hedwig Engemann, Hans Max Haupt and Erna Haupt, and Ernest Kerkhof.
Nearly all were held as enemy aliens and several were sentenced to death for treason, but had their convictions reversed on appeal. Some were re-tried on lesser charges. Some never went to trial.

French postcard by Metropolitan. Image: Miramax. Artwork: The Weinstein Company. Mickey Rourke in Sin City - A Dame to Kill For (Frank Miller, Robert Rodriguez, 2014). Captions: He means no harm. But he does cause a lot of harm. Mickey Rourke is Marv.
Sin City (2005), also known as Frank Miller's Sin City, is an American Neo-Noir film produced and directed by Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez, with Quentin Tarantino as "special guest director". The live-action film is based on Frank Miller's graphic novel series of the same name that won the Eisner Award.
Interweaving multiple storylines from the series' history,Sin City (2005) paints the picture of the ultimate town without pity through the eyes of its roughest characters. Much of this violent Neo-Noir is based on the first, third, and fourth books in creator Miller's original comic series. The Hard Goodbye is about ex-convict Marv (Mickey Rourke) who embarks on a rampage in search of his one-time sweetheart's killer. The Big Fat Kill follows photographer Dwight (Clive Owen), who gets caught in a street war between a group of prostitutes and a group of mercenaries, the police, and the mob. That Yellow Bastard focuses on an aging police officer (Bruce Willis) who protects a young woman (Jessica Alba) from a grotesquely disfigured serial killer. The intro and outro of the film are based on the short story 'The Customer is Always Right' which is collected in Booze, Broads & Bullets, the sixth book in the comic series. Three directors received credit for Sin City: Miller, Rodriguez, and Quentin Tarantino, the last for directing the drive-to-the-pits scene in which Dwight talks with a dead Jack Rafferty (Benicio del Toro). Miller and Rodriguez worked as a team directing the rest of the film.
Sin City (2005) stars an ensemble cast led by Jessica Alba, Benicio del Toro, Brittany Murphy, Clive Owen, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, and Elijah Wood, and featuring Alexis Bledel, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rosario Dawson, Carla Gugino, Rutger Hauer, Jaime King, Michael Madsen, Nick Stahl, and Makenzie Vega among others. Several of the scenes were shot before any actor had signed on; as a result, several stand-ins were used before the actual actors were digitally added into the film during post-production. Rodriguez, an aficionado of cinematic technology, has used similar techniques in the past. The film was noted throughout production for Rodriguez's plan to stay faithful to the source material, unlike most other comic book adaptations. Rodriguez stated that he considered the film to be "less of an adaptation than a translation". As a result, there is no screenwriting in the credits; simply "Based on the graphic novels by Frank Miller".
Sin City (2005) opened to wide critical and commercial success, gathering particular recognition for the film's unique color processing which rendered most of the film in black and white while retaining or adding color for selected objects. The film was screened at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival in competition and won the Technical Grand Prize for the film's "visual shaping". Jeremy Wheeler at AllMovie: "As far as comic adaptations go, Sin City is an unprecedented book-to-screen translation that's locked, loaded, and rip-roaring ready to introduce movie audiences to the mad genius that is Frank Miller. " Roger Ebert awarded the film 4/4 stars, describing it as "a visualization of the pulp noir imagination, uncompromising and extreme. Yes, and brilliant" and "This isn't an adaptation of a comic book, it's like a comic book brought to life and pumped with steroids. It contains characters who occupy stories, but to describe the characters and summarize the stories would be like replacing the weather with a weather map." The New York Times critic Manohla Dargis gave credit for Rodriguez's "scrupulous care and obvious love for its genre influences", but noted that "it's a shame the movie is kind of a bore" because the director's vision seems to prevail on the intensity of reading a graphic novel. Sin City grossed $29.1 million on its opening weekend, defeating fellow opener Beauty Shop by more than twice its opening take. The film saw a sharp decline in its second weekend, dropping over 50%. Ultimately, the film ended its North American run with a gross of $74.1 million against its $40 million negative costs. Overseas, the film grossed $84.6 million, for a worldwide total from theater receipts of $158.7 million. A sequel, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, was released in 2014, also directed by Miller and Rodriguez. It was a critical and financial failure.

Old camera I had laying around and I decided to rip it apart. Then I took a 7.62 round and took multiple pictures of it surrounding the camera. Finally combined them together in Photoshop.
I'm super happy to have found a[nother] nice, pleather jacket :) Another because I bought one last season, decided I didn't need it and returned it (aye!). I found this one, though, so it's all good! It's pretty hard to find decent fake leather, unfortunately. I will not be having dead animals on me, thank you.
Have a great weekend!! :D

Despite the peaceful look of these two houses, this neighborhood is one of the bleakest, stabbiest, human-traffickiest, most shoot-em-up areas of Sacramento, so I don't know what kinda cruel joke it is to name such a street Harms Way.
It appears that North husky is still not lucky in his love life. Poor husky dog.
This is loosely based on “Everybody’s Got Somebody but Me” by Hunter Hayes.
“I wish the couple on the corner would just; get a room. Seems like everyone around me ‘s on their honeymoon. I’d love to take a pin to a heart shaped balloon. Everybody’s got somebody but me.”
Many thanks to my other half for posing as North and help with some tricky photoshopping. <3
