Wanted to try something new so I can continue taking pictures as I rehab. This is one-armed photography... I intentionally used my good arm start to finish for this shot. Nothing fancy but I love that I could do it. Penrod Lake.
Uh, here's a few more POTC Figs.
Cotton and Marty: Had to round out the rest of the Black Pearl crew. Does Marty have a single line of dialogue in the entire series? I honestly can't remember.
Tai Huang and Sao Feng: Their skin's kinda too dark, but it's what I had available and it kinda works for me.
Tia Dalma: Not the head I wanted for her, but when I found the head I wanted I couldn't find a torso that worked either, so this'll do.
Cutler Beckett: The Lego Game made him short so I also made him short.
Clanker, Penrod and Koleniko: Members of Davy Jones's crew.
Probably do one more Pirates post after this. Until then, lemme know what you think!
The Nikki Beach Miami and the Continuum On South Beach.
The Nikki Beach Miami is a somewhat interesting restaurant with an already long history, taking into account that there are times when it is difficult for them to remain among the first, it is interesting the place with an extensive variety of seafood and fish and of course ... many luxurious day beds among coconut trees and creative cocktails. In this place where the Nikki Beach is today, there was the Penrod's Beach Club of Jack Penrod, I could not indicate or say something to the best that I can make you believe but for tastes the colors and are many, but I can tell you that the Penrod's Beach Club of Miami Beach was a crazy party every day with lots of fun and informal but very creative meals, what most people brought were the vikinis competitions, which brought very beautiful young people from all over the country and Europe, it was a very fun place.
The South Beach Continuum are residential towers / skyscrapers in Miami Beach, Florida's South Beach. They are located directly at the southern end of the city, overlooking Government Cut. The south tower, which opened in 2002, is 471 feet (143 m) high and 40 stories high. The north tower, which opened in 2008, has 37 floors. Both towers were developed by Ian Bruce Eichner's The Continuum Company, LLC. They are located in the "SOFI" neighborhood.

Out of 15,660 P-47 Thunderbolts produced for the U.S. Army Air Corps during WWII, perhaps the least known operational variants were the Curtiss-built P-47G’s. To meet expanded wartime production goals for the P-47D Thunderbolt, the New York-based Republic Aviation Company built a 2nd plant in Evansville, Indiana.
It also licensed the Curtiss-Wright Company to produce the airplane under the P-47G designation. Between December 1942 and March 1944, Curtiss-Wright made 354 P-47G Thunderbolts, identical to the Republic-built "Razorback" P-47D models. The P-47G was powered by a 2,300hp P&W R-2800 18-cylinder radial air-cooled engine and could reach a top speed of 433mph at an altitude of 30,000ft. The aircraft had a service ceiling of 40,000ft and a maximum climb rate of 2,750 ft/min.
The Thunderbolts' empty weight was 9,000 lbs, their average loaded weight was 13,500 kg, and their maximum weight was 15,000 lbs. The Thunderbolt was one of the heaviest single-engined fighters of WWII. It had a wingspan of 41ft., a length of 36ft., and a height of nearly 15ft.
This P-47G-15-CU, BuNo 42-25234, was contracted for in the 1942 fiscal year budget and spent most of her military career as a fighter trainer in the western part of the U.S. After the war, this Thunderbolt was used as an instructional airframe at Grand Central Airport in Glendale. In 1952, Ed Maloney obtained the aircraft and stored it at his home to eventually display it in his projected air museum.
The Thunderbolt was finally reassembled at the Air Museum’s Ontario International Airport, California base in 1963. It took part in several West Coast airshows until it was damaged in a forced landing at NAS Point Mugu, California, in 1971. Maloney then stored the damaged aircraft until 1980, when it was restored to static display condition at the Museum’s new location in Chino, CA. Although the primary goal was to get the Thunderbolt back into flying condition, the lack of a suitable replacement engine delayed that until 1985.
With the prospect of a new engine becoming imminent, Steve Hinton’s Fighter Rebuilders crew, together with museum volunteer workers, began bringing the Thunderbolt up to flying condition again in early 1985. In May, they finally took delivery of a custom-built R-2800 engine from John Sandberg’s JRS Enterprises, a Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company specializing in engine overhauls for warbirds. The engine is fitted with a Hamilton Standard propeller, which is reportedly more reliable than the aircraft’s original Curtiss Electric unit and for which spare parts are more readily available.
For increased reliability, Hinton’s crew replaced TBM Avenger wheels and multiple disc brakes with the Thunderbolt’s original shoe brakes and installed modern radio equipment. The aircraft’s starboard wing, badly damaged in the forced landing at Point Mugu, was replaced with one from a postwar South American P-47D as part of a spare parts deal. A jump seat was added behind the pilot’s seat to accommodate a passenger.
Over the years, this aircraft has appeared in many different color schemes. During the war, it carried the standard Army Air Corps olive and grey camouflage scheme, which was changed to a yellow and black finish when the aircraft was at Grand Central. In 1963, the Thunderbolt was painted in overall olive (not accurate) and carried the markings of the P-47D that 56th Fighter Group ace Bud Mahurin used.
In 1968, the aircraft was repainted in olive and grey camouflage and carried the markings of 42-26387 "Miss Behave," a 78th Fighter Group P-47 in World War II. The Thunderbolt was restored to a natural metal finish in 1980 to eventually add the markings of Penrod and Sam, the last operational P-47D, which ace Robert S. Johnson flew with the 56th Fighter Group.

i don't like this photograph.
oh, you say, mrwaterslide, we know you; of course you like this photograph.
and of course, you would be right. this is a photograph of a beautiful woman bending over with her teats about to fall out of her blouse, and, what's not to like? of course mrwaterslide likes this photograph.
and that's precisely where we start to go off the track.
do you see all those dark shapes behind Miss Landis's head? those are shoes, military shoes, and pants legs. pants of men dressed in military uniforms. i would be willing to bet that the moment this photograph was taken, sex, the frisson of sex, was heavy in the air. those men think that they are in the presence of a, if not The, Goddess of Sex.
like mrwaterslide, those men see a beautiful woman, an available woman, The Girl Next Door who just happens to also be The Goddess of Sex, and she has flown thousands of miles to see them, only them, each one individually. here i am, she seems to say, fight on and you can have me. that's what she's saying.
the truth is (at least according to Wikipedia), Carole Landis appeared before more troops during World War II than any other person. not Bob Hope, not Jack Benny, not Martha Raye. Carole Landis. she even wrote a book about her experiences as a performer for the troops: "Four Jills And A Jeep," and then they made a movie out it, starring, yes, Carole Landis.
i suppose you probably think "teats" is sort of crude. Miss Landis was known as "The Chest," in some circles. maybe that doesn't sound quite as crude, though i doubt anybody ever called her that to her face. but i can certainly see some Army private rushing into where his buddies were and exclaiming "The Chest is gonna be here tomorrow," and somebody asking "Who?" and him saying, "The Chest. you know, Carole Landis."
she made a few movies, most of which you've probably never heard of. she was in "Alcatraz Island" and "Invisible Menace" and "Three Texas Steers." and then there were "Penrod's Double Trouble" and "One Million B.C." and "It Happened In Flatbush." a lot of her roles were uncredited. Wikipedia does say "In a time when the singing of many actresses was dubbed in, Landis's own voice was considered good enough and was used in her few musical roles." when she got a contract with Twentieth Century Fox and started sleeping with Darryl F. Zanuck. she got some decent roles, but then she stopped sleeping with Darryl F. Zanuck, and the roles after that weren't so good.
at some point not all that long after the war ended, Landis began an affair with the English actor Rex Harrison.
i've always kind of liked Rex Harrison. he was such a strong and commanding presence in "My Fair Lady." he won an Academy Award for that role. he was suave and debonair, he had that wonderful voice. i'm sure he was adept at lighting a woman's cigarette, i'm sure he knew what to say to the waiter. he was "fanatical" about wine; if the wine wasn't up to his standard, he oftentimes sent it back.
of course, inconveniently, Rex Harrison was already married when he and Carole Landis had their affair. she wanted him to get a divorce and marry her. Harrison said no, and broke off the affair.
her money was running out (her house was on the market), Rex Harrison wouldn't marry her (and she had three failed marriages already under her belt). she knew that someday, probably sooner rather than later, her looks would go and Hollywood would discard her. and oh, btw, she either suffered from endometriosis and couldn't have children (and one can imagine how that might have made her feel) or in an alternative narrative, she was pregnant as a result of her affair with Harrison, and he wanted her to have an abortion (you can find both stories told in different places). she was 29, but in a matter of months, she would be 30. the big 3 - 0, an unpleasant milestone for a woman in Hollywood.
so perhaps it's not surprising that, the day after the breakup, Carole Landis gathered up all the photographs and mementoes from her relationship with Rex Harrison, put them in a suitcase, and went over to a house where she knew he had gone and left them in the driveway. Then she went back to her house and got the Seconal out of the medicine cabinet, took forty tablets, and laid down on the bed to die.
at some point she may have changed her mind. when Harrison, finally sensing that something was amiss, showed up at her house, he found her in the bathroom, clutching the commode. allegedly, he felt her pulse and discovered she was still clinging to life. and so he called immediately for an ambulance.
no, actually, he didn't. again the stories vary as to what happened. one version has him taking half-an-hour to find her address book so he could call her personal physician. another version has him doing nothing for a couple of hours and then driving over to see Zanuck so together they could decide what to do. either way, by the time help arrived, Landis was dead.
and that's pretty much the end of the story. Harrison took his wife to the funeral. appearances were maintained. he was ostracized for a time, but soon enough he was back to making films. not that many years later he had his Academy Award.
so the Carole Landis story is a sad one, beyond tragic.
but mrwaterslide, why the intense reaction to a photograph that shows a beautiful, sexy young woman in the prime of her too-short life, doing good work, happy, perhaps, healthy, physically, if not mentally?
perhaps if i tell you (or remind you) that i am the son of a suicide, you will begin to understand. for someone like me, the revelations of the photograph are like biting into a hamburger and crunching down on a shard of glass. i probably don't need to say a lot more than that.
i don't like this photograph.

French postcard in the Les Vedettes de Cinéma series by A.N., Paris, no. 4. Photo: Universal Film.
Yesterday, Monday 24 February 2020, one of the last superstars of the silent film era has died. Diana Serra Cary (1918), best known as Baby Peggy passed away in Gustine, Calif. She was one of the three major American child stars of the Hollywood silent movie era along with Jackie Coogan and Baby Marie. She spent decades coming to terms with a bizarre childhood of triumphs, heartbreaks, and parents who squandered her fortune. Diana Serra Cary was 101.
Diana Serra Cary was born Peggy-Jean Montgomery in San Diego, California, in 1918. Her parents were Jack and Marian Montgomery. Her father was a cowboy for years all over the western states. He ended up in the movies as a stuntman and extra, driving stagecoaches and buckboards. Peggy was a precocious 2½-year-old in 1921 when Century Studio cast her opposite Brownie the Wonder Dog in Playmates (Fred Hibbard, 1921). The film was a success, and Baby Peggy was signed to a long-term contract with Century Studios. Between 1921 and 1923 she made over 150 short comedies and melodramas, for Century, Universal and Principal Pictures. Her first feature-length film was Penrod (Marshall Neilan, 1922); her first film with Universal, The Darling of New York (King Baggot, 1923), shot when she was 3-1/2 years old, was a solid hit. A few more, including Helen's Babies (William A. Seiter, 1924) with Clara Bow, were also certifiable winners. Robert D. Mc Fadden in his obituary in the New York Times: "America soon fell in love with the chubby-cheeked little girl as she fled burning buildings, held thugs at bay with a pistol and clung to the underside of a train." Many of Baby Peggy's popular comedies were parodies of movies that grown-up stars had made, and she delightfully imitated such legends as Rudolph Valentino, Pola Negri, Mary Pickford, and Mae Murray. By age 5 she was a multimillionaire. Her home was a Beverly Hills mansion near Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. A $30,000 chauffeur-driven limousine took her to work every day. In 1922 she received 1.2 million fan letters and by 1924 she had been dubbed 'The Million Dollar Baby' for her $1.5 million a year salary.
In 1925, Baby Peggy’s career crumbled. A $1.5 million contract was canceled, and she was virtually blacklisted in Hollywood after her father, a cowboy stuntman and stand-in for the Western star Tom Mix, had a bitter falling out with a studio boss over her salary. She made one last picture, April Fool (Nat Ross, 1926), and then the 7-year-old was a has-been. She was forced to turn to the vaudeville circuit for survival. A comeback in early talkies with the new moniker Peggy Montgomery was very short-lived. By the 1930s, Peggy found herself poor and working as an extra. Her financial affairs had been controlled by her parents, who had spent lavishly and had set nothing aside for her education or her future. She suffered from nervous breakdowns and near poverty for many years until she found a new and unexpectedly successful career as a book publisher and writer, using the pseudonym Diana Serra Cary. As the author of 'Hollywood Posse' (1975) and (later) 'Hollywood's Children', she wrote about her youthful career, post-stardom years, child stars in general, and Hollywood history. Her own autobiography, 'Whatever Happened to Baby Peggy?', was released in 1996. A Century fire in 1926 and decaying celluloid have left only a few of her vintage films. These include Playmates (Fred Hibbard, 1921), Miles of Smiles (Alfred J. Goulding, 1923) and Sweetie (Alfred J. Goulding, 1923) have been discovered and preserved in film archives around the world. Diana Serra Cary was one of the last surviving actors of the silent film era.

Griffith. Joining Fox Studios, Brockwell was one of the busiest actresses in town and easily made the transition to sound films. Gladys Brockwell contributed to one hundred and seventeen American films, mostly silent ones, These include Frank Beal's Broken Commandments (1919, with G. Raymond Nye and Spottiswoode Aitken), Frank Lloyd's Oliver Twist (1922 version, with Jackie Coogan in the title role and James A.

On June 27, 1929, Brockwell was a passenger in a car with her boyfriend, advertising man Thomas Stanley Brennan, when the car plunged over a 75 foot embankment in Calabasas. Brockwell was pinned under the car and sustained compound fractures to her jaw, a fractured skull and several other serious injuries Brennan was seriously hurt and survived his injuries. While hospitalized, Brockwell received four blood transfusions and died from peritonitis which developed as a result of her several injuries. Brennan stated that dust and cinders blew into his eyes causing him to lose control of the vehicle. He was exonerated of blame by the coroner's jury.

Looking Back: ‘Really a mountain girl’.
Imogene Maxwell Brazieal recalls growing up in the White Mountains, With Jo Baeza
•Aug 3, 2016
WHITE MOUNTAINS — Imogene Maxwell Brazieal’s life began in a world we wouldn’t recognize today. She was born with the help of a midwife on March 28, 1928, in “Grandma” LeSueuer’s house in Lakeside to Verdie and Arlee Maxwell.
“There weren’t any doctors here. The closest hospital was Gallup, N.M.,” she said. “Our parents were Mormons. Grandfather Maxwell crossed Lee’s Ferry as a child.”
Imogene’s father was raised in Nutrioso, where she spent the first five years of her life.
Nutrioso was a small Mormon farming and ranching settlement of log cabins tucked away in the mountains between Eagar and Alpine. Settlers called the place “Nutrioso,” the Spanish word for “beaver.”
The earliest known permanent settlers of Nutrioso were Latter-day Saints from Utah. Sent by their leader, Brigham Young, to colonize northern Arizona Territory in the 1870s, wagon after wagon made the long, difficult journey crossing the Colorado River at Lee’s Ferry, then following a trail to the headwaters of the Little Colorado River in the White Mountains of east-central Arizona.
In 1875 a large wagon train of settlers came to Springerville from Kanab, Utah. Some stayed in Springerville; others moved on to Nutrioso. Nina Kelly paints a fine picture in her book “Nutrioso”: “The horses and cattle were driven ahead by the men on horseback. Then came the covered wagons loaded with household goods, feed, clothing, women, children, and seeds to plant.
Forty-gallon barrels of water were tied on the side, and the frying pans were stuck upright in the bolster. Buckets and kettles dangled underneath and the shovel and ax were placed at easy access. At the back of the wagon were protruding poles upon which were tied crates of chickens or little pigs.”
This was Imogene Maxwell’s heritage: mountain people who met the challenges of life with courage, hard work and cooperation.
“I was taught that what really matters is how you treat your neighbors,” she said. She has lived her life by that principle.
Her parents moved to Lakeside with Imogene and her brother, Marlin, when she was 5. Her dad had a good job as a foreman with the Arizona Highway Department. Working for the state, Arlee became acquainted with a lot of state officials and politicians. Imogene’s introduction to politics was the day her dad took her along when he drove Gov. Ernest McFarland to Mc Nary to meet mill officials and workers.
“I was about 10. There were people going in and out of the mill all the time. Everyone stopped to shake hands with my dad, the governor and me, all three of us. I thought that was wonderful,” she said.
America was struggling through the Great Depression, but Lakeside people were no strangers to hard times.
“My dad had a job, but we were all so poor. Nobody had any money. There was no refrigeration, no indoor bathrooms, no telephones, but there was always something to do,” Imogene said.
“My best friends were Billie Baggett Penrod and Pearl Gardner Penrod. Pearl’s mother, Helene, played the piano for all occasions. She had a hole in her floor next to the piano from keeping time to the music.”
Lakeside was known for its musicians, vocal and instrumental. The Fish Band played for dances. In summer dances were held in the street outside the LDS Chapel. People came from all around, men, women and children.
“When it got late, our parents would roll us up in blankets and put us in the car and keep dancing,” Imogene said.
“Erwin Hansen always had horses to rent. Dutch Kay, my brother Marlin and I took peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and we’d be gone all day. We’d ride bareback with a hackamore to Vernon or Green’s Peak. We knew our way all over the mountains. Nobody ever worried about us.”
One of the main events of her childhood occurred when she was in the seventh grade in Lakeside school. “We had one of the first bathrooms in Lakeside,” she said. “I used to let the other kids come over after school and flush the toilet. They couldn’t use the toilet; they were just allowed to flush it.”
Nearly every family had a garden, fruit trees and a milk cow. Men and boys hunted in the fall and fished year around. Women and children gathered wild berries for jam and jelly. They all helped each other when it was time to bottle food for the winter. If kids complained about hoeing or weeding, Granny Porter would say, “If you dig in the dirt, you’ll always have clean thoughts.”
Shopping was done from catalogs. Equipment had to be trucked down from Holbrook. There was no high school for mountain kids back then. Teens from Lakeside, Show Low, Linden, Heber and Overgaard had to bus to Snowflake if they wanted to attend high school.
In 1942 Arlee and Verdie bought land in Show Low but kept their home in Lakeside. The next year, when Imogene was 15, the Maxwell family moved to Show Low.
“I wanted to get a job because I saw a pair of shoes in the catalog I wanted, so I got a job washing dishes, then went to work as a waitress for Jim Peterson who owned a café and cabins,” Imogene said.
“Gov. Sidney P. Osborne stayed in our cabins when he was in Show Low. He’d eat at our restaurant, so I got to know him. He was a great governor.”
Sidney Preston Osborn, a native-born Arizonan, was the first secretary of state of Arizona and became the seventh governor. He was elected to four consecutive terms, serving from 1941-1948. He was one of many governors she would meet on a personal basis in the ensuing years.
After high school, Imogene attended Arizona State University, graduating in 1945. One of her college friends was Bob Fernandez, who later became wealthy as a Pinetop real estate developer. While she was at ASU her parents bought the Maxwell House Motel and Coffee Shop in Show Low.
In 1947 Imogene married Clair Tenney, who had been in the military. They opened their own small business in Show Low, Clair and Gene’s Café. Clair and Imogene had four children, Randy, Rita, Gary and Arlee. Their next business venture was a gas station and convenience store called “The Hub,” where the Cattleman’s Steak House is today.
“We had everything — fishing and hunting licenses, outdoor gear, curios, liquor, a Shell station. We were open 24 hours a day,” she said.
In addition to working at The Hub and raising a family, Imogene was president of the PTA.
Both she and Clair were active in the Democratic Party. Arizona was an almost totally Democratic state until the end of World War II when people began moving in from other parts of the country. They campaigned for Vice President Lyndon Johnson when he ran against Arizona’s Barry Goldwater in 1964. They were invited to attend the Inauguration of President Lyndon Johnson in Washington, D.C., in January 1965.
When Clair Tenney was diagnosed with cancer the family moved to the Valley to be closer to his doctors. He died in 1978, leaving Imogene and their four children to make new lives.
She said, “My theory on raising kids is ‘give ‘em wings and let ‘em fly.’ All four of their children went to college, and her grandchildren are (like all grandchildren) exceptional. Her son Randy is a former mayor of Show Low.
In 1982 Imogene married Clyde Brazieal, a real estate broker who was chairman of the Navajo County Democratic Party. She had the honor of being elected a delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 1984, held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. The convention had to nominate a candidate to run against incumbent President Ronald Reagan. Walter “Fritz” Mondale, Jimmy Carter’s vice president, was nominated.
Reagan beat Mondale in the election, but the convention was historic in that Mondale had selected Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate. Ferraro was the first woman vice presidential nominee for a major party at a national convention.
The following year the Maxwell family had a scare when an informant told police that a former Hell’s Angel was planning to kidnap one of the family for ransom, and kill them when they received the money. Imogene was targeted.
She said, “Clyde taught me how to shoot. You’d go home at night not knowing what was going to happen.” The FBI held stakeouts and caught the man as he was making a final payment on a gun at a local pawn shop.
Imogene and Clyde Brazieal had a good life together, taking a cruise nearly every year. They had been married only eight years when Clyde died of cancer.
Her parents bought the Paint Pony Lodge, a well-known restaurant across from the Maxwell House that is now Licano’s. Imogene ran the Paint Pony, served on the board of directors of the Frontier State Bank for 15 years, and remained active in the Democratic Party. Her parents worked their entire lives to improve highways and other infrastructure that brought growth and development to the White Mountains.
“My family has been in business in Show Low for 75 years,” she said.
Imogene is retired now and loves playing golf and bridge. She also loves being back in Show Low after living in the Valley for several years.
“I’m really a mountain girl. Life was hard when I was growing up and there were no conveniences, but we were one great big family. You knew everyone in town and the surrounding towns. You don’t have that when you have growth,” she said.

Guy Penrod was born July 2, 1963, in Abilene, Texas. He is a pastor’s kid who spent his growing up years in Texas and New Mexico. When it was time to go off to college, Guy moved to Lynchburg, Virginia, to attend college at Liberty University, where he studied music and vocal performance. In addition to his studies, Guy served as a representative of the University by traveling and singing on the weekends. After four years he had earned not only a Bachelor’s degree, but also a lot of valuable singing and ministry experience.
He met a certain tall, athletic beauty named Angie Clark while attending Liberty University and the couple was married on the evening of Guy’s graduation day. They moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where Guy worked as the music teacher at a Christian school, but after only a year he heard Nashville calling his name.
In Nashville, Guy became a successful studios session singer during the early 1980s, backing up a star-studded line-up of country and gospel music’s best. He eventually became a regular performer on the weekly television program, Music City Tonight until he joined the Gaither Vocal Band in 1994.
After stepping in as the Vocal Band’s lead singer, Guy became a defining influence for the group. His larger-than-life presence and powerhouse vocals endeared him to audiences all over the world for more than 13 years.
During those years, Guy and Angie added eight members to their household! Now the parents of seven handsome boys and one beautiful little girl, Guy and Angie spend every possible moment pouring their lives into raising great kids. A cowboy to his core, Guy and his family reside on a farm on Tennessee countryside, where he finds great joy playing and working outdoors whenever possible. 10/20/16
