Grade-II*-listed shot tower in the Boughton district of Chester. The tower is the oldest of three remaining shot towers in the UK and probably the oldest such structure still standing in the world.
Red-brick tower is 168 feet (41.2 m) tall, Built by Walkers, Parker & Co. in 1799. The lift was added in 1971. This was one of only three such towers built to manufacture musket shot for the Napoleonic Wars, the Chester tower was still in use as late as 2001.
In 1783, William Watts of Bristol,Bristol took out a patent for his new technique, a process "for making smallshot perfectly globular in form and without dimples, notches and imperfections which other shot hereto manufactured usually have on their surface".
Watt's technique, was to allow molten lead- to which the deadly poison arsenic was added- to be poured from the top of the tower, passing through a griddle to separate it into tiny pellets before landing in a wooden vat of water below.

I thought the boy could use some love and after some one (you know who you are) approved of his clothes (or lack of) I though I'd take him with to my Gran's back garden...again...
Fatherhood was achieved on Father’s Day and will follow suit each day henceforth with a continuous movement where Fit Fathers commune for the benefit of their kids. We share and learn from one another to enhance positive experiences for our families, friends and community.
Naturally, Father’s Day in the Maryland, DC and Virginia area was ignited the “Fit Fathers” way for the 4th year in a row with exercise, laughter, dance, music and fun. We bring dads and father figures together annually to demonstrate the importance of being health conscious and leading by example through positive, nutritional choices. Hype for the event was built from engaging social media campaigns and coverage from Fox 5 DC, News Channel 8, CBS Radio, Radio One, SiriusXM, Black Enterprise and a host of other elite media outlets. Additionally, with $2,500 in prizes at stake for our fitness challenges, over 500 attendees came to the celebration ready for action which resulted in an eventful day.
Founded on July 10, 1876 after the discovery of gold, Lead has always been less known than its infamous neighbor Deadwood, but is both larger in population and more of a city than the tourist town to the Northeast. Lead is dominated by the Homestake Mine, the largest and deepest gold mine in North America until it closed in 2002. The Homestake Mine was led by mining baron George Hearst, and Lead consequently became something of a company town, with George's wife Pheobe Hearst opening the Hearst Free Public Library and the Hearst Free Kindergarten, then later with Homestake Mine superintendent Thomas Grier, the Homestake Opera House and Recreation Center. As the Homestake Mine continually expanded swallowing up neighboring mines and the city itself, the entire city moved atop the hills in the 1930s. The Homestake Mine is now the site of the Sanford Underground Research Facility to study neutrinos and dark matter.

The first written record of lead mining at Minera dates back to 1296, when Edward I of England hired miners from the site to work in his new mines in Devon. Not all of them vacated the area, however, as mining went on until the Black Death in 1349, when it ended.
In 1527, two men bought the rights to mine on the site, but deeper workings were unworkable due to the presence of underground rivers, and the inability to prevent flooding. The inability to pay for steam engines to pump out water closed the mines again until 1845, when John Taylor & Sons, mining agents from Flintshire, formed the Minera Mining Company. They were able to build a stationary steam engine on site, and also blast caves from down in the valley into the mines, for extra drainage. The steam engine was a Cornish engine (i.e. a Beam engine), typical for stationary engines at the time.
John Taylor & Sons had used a £30,000 investment at the time, yet the profits for 1864 alone were £60,000 (equivalent to over £4 Million in 2008. By 1900, the price of lead and zinc had fallen dramatically, while the price of coal used for the steam engine rose. The stationary steam engine stopped work in 1909. The owners sold off the mines and all assets by 1914.
Transport
For transport, the Mines had their own railway branch line, which connected with the end of the Wrexham and Minera Branch at Minera Limeworks. The mines also had their own steam locomotive, a Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST (Works No. 21) Henrietta.[2] The lead ore would be taken to Wrexham for transport nationally, and Coal brought back. The line was dismantled when the mines closed, as the line was privately owned, however were rebuilt to serve nearby clay pits. Plans to build a tourist narrow gauge railway on the line were made in the 1990s, but have not progressed.
Restoration
The workings and local area underwent massive restoration and regeneration funded by Wrexham County Borough Council and the Welsh Development Agency beginning in 1988 to make sure the lead, Zinc and lime spoil tips didn't contaminate local water supplies, the Engine house was rebuilt and fitted with replica machinery, as the original steam engine was removed in 1914. A visitor Centre was opened for public use, and the engine house is part of a tour. It is a site of tourism for Wrexham County Borough Council.
In 2004, the site was attacked by vandals, but this was repaired by the council in 2005.
Sphalerite on galena from Bulgaria. (public display, Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA)
Near-black = sphalerite
Silvery-gray = galena (PbS - lead sulfide)
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6100 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The sulfide minerals contain one or more sulfide anions (S-2). The sulfides are usually considered together with the arsenide minerals, the sulfarsenide minerals, and the telluride minerals. Many sulfides are economically significant, as they occur commonly in ores. The metals that combine with S-2 are mainly Fe, Cu, Ni, Ag, etc. Most sulfides have a metallic luster, are moderately soft, and are noticeably heavy for their size. These minerals will not form in the presence of free oxygen. Under an oxygen-rich atmosphere, sulfide minerals tend to chemically weather to various oxide and hydroxide minerals.
Sphalerite is a somewhat common zinc sulfide mineral (ZnS). It has a metallic to submetallic to resinous to adamantine luster. Many metals can substitute for the zinc, such as iron, cadmium, and manganese. Sphalerite almost always has some iron in it, so a better chemical formula would be (Zn,Fe)S. Sphalerite has a wide color range, depending principally on iron content. Pure to almost pure sphalerite is whitish to greenish. With increasing iron content, sphalerite becomes yellowish to brownish to blackish. One variety of sphalerite has a strikingly intense dark red color (ruby sphalerite). Its streak color also varies with iron content from whitish to pale yellowish to brownish. Sphalerite is also distinctive in being moderately heavy for its size and having six different planes of cleavage.
Sphalerite is the most important zinc ore mineral. Zinc produced from sphalerite is used for many purposes, including mixing with copper to produce brass, rust protection of iron & steel, and for making modern American pennies (although the cost of making each zinc penny is more than 1¢).

Really impressive. The 17th and 18th miles of the course went right behind our house this morning -- I know from experience, those are some of the toughest miles of a marathon. They had music and a little crowd to cheer folks on.

Kennywood tradition holds that this horse, called "Pegasus," is the lead horse on the carousel. I find it unlikely that it was originally the lead horse, since it is one of several "winged" horses on the carousel -- Dentzel did this horse style a lot. I think it more likely that the armored horse was meant as the lead horse.

Warren and I took this block of lead to the gun range long ago, back in the '80s when we worked for the Palo Alto Medical Foundation. We fired at it with a 5.56mm M-14 automatic rifle. We were so far away we had to look at it with the scope. That's when I realized how lethal these weapons were if I could hit a target that was only 3 1/2" x 4" from 100 yards or so at first go. So I kept it as a reminder. It sits on my work bench and is a good weight for things that need to be glued. A bullet like that can shatter your entire bone.
As a piece of sculpture it is also interesting in that it represents the collaborative nature of our relationship. I took the first shot which is the top hole. Warren nailed it nearly dead center. His hole presses up into my hole. It is somehow emblematic of our platonic erotic relationship which usually happened in the photography studio, but also in conversation.
