The first gun we ever owned. First saw it in a gunshow last year. Then really fell in love with it when we saw it in the movie Max Payne.
The Taurus Judge is a five shot revolver designed and produced by Taurus International, chambered for .410 bore shot shells and the .45 Colt cartridge. Taurus promotes the gun as a self defense tool against carjacking and for home protection.
It got its name "The Judge" in 2006 when Bob Morrison, Executive Vice President, learned that judges in high-crime areas of Miami, Florida were purchasing the revolver for personal defense in their courtrooms.

327 Belleville Street, Victoria, BC
In 1872 Alexander Blair Grey and his new wife, Emma Blair, came to Victoria to set up their home. Mr. Grey had planned to make his fortune in the Caribou gold rush, however when that didn’t work out, he started a dry goods company in Victoria. They eventually had two sons and two daughters. By 1876 Grey had been appointed a Justice of the Peace, an important position in the growing town, and had branched out his business to include liquor and tobacco. He had purchased a piece of land at the corner of Belleville and Oswego Streets, and in 1877 his new home was completed.
The new home created a bit of a stir in colonial Victoria, being rather large and splendid for a city, which, despite being the capital of the new province, was still a small frontier town. The Colonist newspaper reported the exact dimensions and use of each room.
Grey lost his fortune in a crash in 1893. The fine home had to be sold, and Grey took a position in Nelson, leaving his wife and an unmarried daughter in Victoria. The disappointed Grey died in Nelson in 1902, at the age of 61. He was buried in Victoria.
When the Grey home was sold, a remarkable young Victorian bought the house. George R Jackson was a young and very successful tailor. His suits were a byword among Victoria’s smart young men. He had been married on New Year’s Day, 1892, to Robina Stephens, so the house was available at just the right time. His tailoring business continued to grow, but just before the turn of the century he decided to try his hand at something new. He moved his family to the USA, and to everyone’s surprise graduated as a medical doctor. However, he did not go into practice, but turned back to business, producing a breakfast food called Roman Meal, and became a millionaire.
Back in Victoria, a young lawyer named Gordon Hunter home had bought the old home. Hunter soon became Chief Justice of British Columbia, and it is for him that the house is known as the Judge’s House. He served as Chief Justice for 25 years and in that time many titled persons and dignitaries were entertained in the house, including Prime Minister Mackenzie King. Today Chief Justice Hunter is remembered for his high order of ability, and his rare combination of talent, powerful intelligence, penetrating eye, and formidable vocabulary.
After Hunter’s death in 1929, the house was run by the Missionary Sisters of Notre Dame des Anges as a boarding house known as Belleville Lodge. The same nuns would later take over the old Pendray home next door. In the 1970’s, the house was a tourist attraction—the “Haunted Mansion.”
In 1997, the house changed hands again, and today the Judge’s House adds to the collection with eight elegant rooms.

Don't know how old I am here but judging by my rolls I'd say somewhere around 12-18 months.
So, I'm supposed to tag ten of you but I don't know who all has already been tagged and I'm feeling lazy since it's America's day off. Instead I tag all of you who haven't been yet - go forth, find & post a picture of yourself before the age of 10, and then tag ten others. Ready, set, GO!
And Happy Memorial Day!

Judging by the number of people on the platform at Becontree there hasn't been a London-bound train for some while - not uncommon at the time... - so almost inevitably it'll mean standing, which is why the people on the right look to be letting this one go (and why I'm taking the photo).

BOTTOM TWO:
KYA & CASEY
This week both of you have two of the worst scores I’ve seen in this competition in a while. Especially the girl who’s going home, whose score dips below 20. It’s unacceptable. You both gave lifeless and dull photos, and I need much better. However, the girl who gets to stay and prove that she deserves to be here is…
Kya! Congratulations, you are still in the running to become the next The Aspiring winner. You need to step it up next week.
Score: 23.2/40
Casey (Score: 18.7), your score was honestly, disgustingly low. I expect much better from all of my models, and honestly this felt like you didn’t even try. Now, you must return to the model house, pack your bags & leave. Thank you.
13 girls remain.
Who will be eliminated next?
L-R: Zoran Filipovic, José Fonseca, Sara García Villanueva, Claudia Gorbman. The judges were treated to fantastic hospitality (as you'll see from some of the other photos) and I'm sure this rubbed off and created a pretty amiable judging process - it only took two glasses of port each to get to consensus.

Moody Mann--Surveyor & Judge
Came from England in 1840; By order of President John Tyler, came to Calumet County in 1841 to survey land and roads. His surveys include the road adjoining this cemetery on the west.
From the Sheboygan Press September 14, 1965
As was requested by the pioneer, upon his death he was buried on his home farm. The grave was enclosed in a two and one-half yard square plot surrounded by an iron picket fence. When the farm was sold by the family heirs, the grave site was not included in the sale, but was kept at Moody Mann property, complete with the picket fence and recorded in the deed as such.
A great-granddaughter, Mrs. David Bowles, Appleton, learned recently that the grave of her ancestor had disappeared and questioned the present owner of the surrounding land, Rowland Lavey, as to what happened to the plot which bore no trace of the grave.
Upon receiving no satisfaction from him, according to her account to the Calumet County Board, Mrs. Bowles asked others who were familiar with the grave and know of its disappearance. What she learned was that the grave including the fence had been scooped up and used for fill in the construction of the improved Highway 55 in 1955. Mrs. Bowles sought the assistance of her niece, Mrs. Elaine Mathews, Manitowoc. After checking court records and getting help from District Atty. Frank Schmieder, Judge D. H. Sebora and Mrs. Germaine Hume, register of deeds, Mrs. Bowles and her niece approached the county board with the problem.
The board, knowing that it had no legal responsibility, felt a moral responsibility and appointed a committee to study the problem and come up with some sort of amends that would be satisfactory to the family. Knowing that the remains of Moody Mann could not be collected, the committee arranged for a marker to be placed in the Brothertown Cemetery to honor the county's first judge.
Moody Mann, according to Mrs. Bowles, came to this country from England in 1840 and was sent to this area by President John Tyler in 1841 to survey for government records and planning. It was in the same year that the appointment as judge was received by Mr. Mann. He served in that capacity until 1845 holding court in Stockbridge, besides continuing his work in surveying.
The family, including a wife and five children, resided in the Brothertown area where Mr. Mann owned about 100 acres of land, a small part of which was to be his final resting place. One of his major accomplishments was to lay out the road now known as the "Old Road" or the Lower Road running from Brothertown to what is now High Cliff State Park, a completely straight road used now as an established line or focal point by surveyors.
Two groups of Indians moved by the government from New York state, were among prevalent inhabitants. The Stockbridge Indians and the Brothertown Indians centered around communities still known by those names. Among them lived Moody Mann.
While serving as a government representative among the Indians, Mr. Mann was called upon to build a grist and saw mill, the cost of which was defrayed from the Brothertown Indians annuity fund. One grinding wheel and parts of another remain in a yard of a Brothertown inhabitant, blending into the surrounding so well that a passerby would not recognize their historical significance. There they are likely to remain, a silent testimonial to the greatness of the Calumet pioneer.
So much for being the county's first judge and assigned duties by the president.

Judges 1:19 (NIV) - The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had iron chariots.
CAMP ARIFJAN, Kuwait — Soldiers from the 1st Theater Sustainment Command and the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) participated in various social and spiritual activities to celebrate the holiday season.
On Christmas Eve hundreds of service members, Department of Defense civilians and contractors gathered at a hangar decked out for the holidays. Put together by 1st TSC and 143d ESC Soldiers along with the helping hands of Morale, Welfare and Recreation employees, the event included a buffet dinner, a visit from St. Nicholas and a secret Santa gift exchange in front of a Christmas tree. Several Soldiers and civilians demonstrated their singing or dancing skills on stage during a “Camp Arifjan’s Got Talent” show judged by members of the 143d ESC’s junior enlisted ranks.
Though the celebration generated much laughter and applause from the lively crowd, some Soldiers opted to spend Christmas Eve at a more solemn venue.
Chaplains and chaplain assistants deployed to Camp Arifjan hosted a Christmas Eve vigil at the post chapel that evening. The nondenominational Christian service wove scripture readings and traditional Christmas carols before the congregation brought the service to its climax as it illuminated the chapel with hundreds of lit candles.
The celebration continued the next day with a 5k run and a Christmas feast served by the 1st TSC and 143d ESC’s senior leadership at Camp Arifjan’s Dining Facilities. The 143d ESC also hosted a barbecue lunch as well as various sporting activities such as volleyball and cornhole.

*note* Though it looks sloppy up close, it looks quite decent on a mini figure.
Tindal was educated at King Edward VI Grammar School in his home town of Chelmsford, and later at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated eighth Wrangler in 1799 and was elected fellow in 1801.[3] A statue to him stands in his home town, and a house at his old school is now dedicated to his memory.
Called to the Bar in Lincoln's Inn in 1810 (having practised as a Special Pleader for many years, as was then customary), Tindal soon attained a reputation for his learning. In 1818, as counsel in the appeal of Ashford v Thornton, he successfully arguing that Thornton was entitled to trial by battle. It does not appear that his success in the law was followed by success in the battlefield for his client, however, who was deprived of the opportunity by his accuser's unwillingness and a change in the law.
Elected Tory Member of Parliament (MP) for the Scottish constituency of Wigtown Burghs from 1824 to 1826; he was MP for Harwich in 1826 before serving as the Member for Cambridge University in 1827. Tindal served as Solicitor General from 1826–1829, when he was appointed to the bench.
An example of Tindal's learning can be found in his speech to the House of Commons in 1826 on a motion to allow counsel to the defence to make a closing speech.[4] Although his conclusion would find little favour today, Tindal demonstrated an appreciation of the role of prosecuting counsel as a minister of justice and the influences of counsel on a jury that would be recognised by any criminal practitioner in the 21st century. Almost as an afterthought, Tindal added a passionate defence of the 'anomalies' of English law that, in his opinion and that of so many others before and since, are its greatest attributes.
At the Bench, Tindal's greatest achievement was to reform significantly the application of the criminal law. By introducing to the common law the special verdict of "Not Guilty by reason of insanity" and of the defence (to murder) of provocation, he left a legacy that remains to this day. Daniel M'Naghten had assassinated Edward Drummond, secretary to Sir Robert Peel (then Prime Minister), but there was no doubt that he was seriously mentally ill and he was acquitted in a verdict so sensational that Queen Victoria herself called for him to be retried in the House of Lords. Whilst this undoubtedly offended the principle of double jeopardy, the House called upon a panel of judges, headed by Tindal, to advise them on the course to take where defendants committed crimes whilst insane. This advice, leading to the special verdict, remains the foundation of the law of insanity throughout the English common law world.

He directed the jury in the case of the Bristol riots on the rejection of the reform bill in 1831 with the duties at common law to suppress tumultuary meetings.[5][6] In the case of Regina v Hale, Tindal ruled that, where a defendant was provoked to such a degree that any reasonable man would lose his self-control and then killed the person responsible for that provocation, the defendant would be guilty only of manslaughter. This judgment has also stood the test of time and is the basis of the common law defence of provocation and was incorporated into section 3 of the Homicide Act 1957.
The significance of these judgments was to remove the spectre of the noose from many vulnerable prisoners in an era of the widespread application of the death penalty; and to reform the law through the greater recognition of the importance of differing states of mind (mens rea) in those accused of the most serious crimes. In the context of the century that produced William Wilberforce, the Earl of Shaftesbury and Benjamin Disraeli, Tindal's reforms to the cruel application of the criminal law deserve to be remembered as social reforms of great importance.
Towards the end of his career, Tindal yet again demonstrated the quality that was to lead to his great popularity amongst the public;[7] namely, his high standard of judicial independence from the state and the wide ambit and discretion he would give to juries. In the case of Frost (1839–40), a prisoner had escaped and led 5,000 armed men into Newport, where they shot at regular troops. Directing the jury to consider charges of treason, Tindal said that, were Frost's motives only to free local Chartists from jail, as opposed to intimidating Parliament into enacting radical constitutional reform, they should find him guilty of riot only.[8] Whilst Frost was ultimately convicted, Tindal's direction differed from the legal practice of many of his brother judges at the time and since.
