Mary Wallys was a spinster accused by her sons and daughters-in-law of a number of attempts to harm their children. Based on their testimony and that of several neighbors, she was found guilty of causing the death of her 6-year old grandchild, who she had predicted “will not live till it be 7 years old.” She was sentenced to be hanged in 1656, but court records indicate she was still languishing in prison several years later.

Starting my 4th semester and just returned from the bookstore. My emotion is UGH...break was too short & here we go again!
I cannot remember where I took this. My thought is somewhere in Southern Nebraska off of highway 34.
I just like the clean architecture.
The U.S. Army received a new class of commissioned officers this fall. The dedication and service of these men and women continue to make Clemson's military heritage a rich tradition.
The 'Save CCSF' march heads to SF City Hall. Hundreds of students and faculty marched to the home of Mayor Ed Lee's office to deliver him a 3 step plan they are demanding he and City Hall adhere to to avoid their schools closure. The hundreds marched directly into City Hall to make sure the mayor got the message.
Make sure to visit www.safeccsf.org to read about their 3 point plan and a background on the situation.
For my live-tweets and pictures from this event and others:
When Nikon released the FA with its first generation matrix metering system, some companies did not stand ideally by and began to develop their system, Olympus was no different, and the OM-4 came with something of their design, the multi-spot meter complete with a memory system to save your exposure readings.

If you're a fan of the Film Photography Project you'll know that they recently released their own Monobath! Well I finally got around to testing out the bottle I was sent and when I pulled out the first roll from the tank, I'll have to say I am pretty impressed! Though I did notice that the film base stayed that lovely TMAX purple, but the images speak for themselves! Wow!

This movie mixes popular notions of witchcraft and voodoo magic and questions whether science and rationality are indeed enough to dispel the belief in witchcraft.
Having moved back to Trafalgar before construction on the Hazel McCallion Campus expansion really got moving, I was a little disappointed that I couldn't capture the place as it grew. But working in IT, I had a slight hand in making sure everything went smoothly after a few hitches happened along the way. I took the chance to visit the new building when it was done.

A monument for those men and women who served and paid the ultimate price in the Great War.
Soldier's Tower - University of Toronto
Memorial Hall Tower
It was for generations the focus of Harvard life… Even the townspeople were beholden, for anyone who lived within a quarter mile could see the face of one of the clocks and hear the tolling of the quarter hour.
—Bainbridge Bunting, Harvard An Architectural History
The tower was the last portion of Memorial Hall to be completed. When the building was formally turned over to the Corporation in 1877, the tower soared an impressive one hundred ninety-five feet but was far less ornate than as depicted in the architects final rendering of the building.
In 1878, Ware and Van Bunt were fortunate to have the opportunity to modify the tower design with the addition of dormers, pinnacles, and more elaborate cresting.
The most dramatic change to the tower came in 1897 when the class of 1872, upon the occasion of their twenty-fifth reunion, provided funds for an ornate clock tower.
In 1945, the copper detail and iron cresting were removed from the tower, presumably as part of a metal drive for the second world war. In 1956, the top portion of the tower was lost in a fire that was reportedly ignited by a welder’s torch during maintenance, reducing the overall height of the building by one third and eradicating the building’s great pyramidal shape.
Gifts from Katherine B. Loker and other friends of the University facilitated the reconstruction of the tower in 1999. Historic preservationists supported the architectural team of Childs Bertman Tsekares in a design that reflects the “clockless” tower of 1878. On May 14, 2000, at a ceremony dedicating the reconstructed tower, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Jeremy R. Knowles reflected, “At last, Memorial Hall has grown again, and can have the effect that Henry James wrote about in The Bostonian: ‘It looked significant; it covered a large area, and it sprang, majestic into the winter air.’”
