Easy Apple Recipe for Fall Apples
As we bid adieu to summer weather and move into the crisper days of Fall, Ottawa families head to the orchards and pick their own apples. Everyone I know has their favourite orchard and type of apple and special traditions for their annual outing with the family. We like to go to Mountain Orchards and pick McIntosh or Honey Crisps. We always do the corn maze, and buy fresh apple cider to wash down all the apple treats we will bake when we get home. As soon as we get home, I immediately get baking apple pies, apple crumble, apple muffins and apple cake. Inevitably, after a week or two of all the apple desserts, I am left with a lot of apples and am fresh out of recipe ideas.
When I was a girl, I went to Girl Guides, and we always went camping in the Fall. I can still remember my favourite thing to make in the campfire – baked apples! They were so good, a little tart, a little sweet, making me think of my mom's apple pie but without all the work. Now I make them for the kids, either on the barbecue or in the oven. It is still one of my favourite Fall treats!
- 2-3 apples, any kind
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- Caramel sauce, optional
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Wash the apples.
- Leave the peel on, cut into quarters, remove the core.
- Put the apples on a big piece of aluminum foil.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon on top.
- Break the butter into pieces and distribute over the apples.
- Wrap the aluminum foil around the apples tightly, to create a packet.
- Place on a baking sheet.
- Cook for 30 minutes until apples are soft.
- Remove from aluminum and serve.
- Drizzle caramel sauce on top if using.

About the Author (Author Profile)I am an active mother of two fabulous kids that make me smile every day. I love to cook old favourites and try out new recipes and never let my kids' nut and egg allergy get in the way! I am forever dragging my husband all over town to try out the latest and greatest new spots to eat but for the most part I think he's a willing participant. I would call myself a Foodie but then you would think I was pretentious, so I won't go there. I am an avid reader, pretty much anything I can get my hands on, anytime I can squeeze it in. (Yes that was me you saw reading while I was running on the treadmill at the gym). I love to write and share all my great finds whenever I can! Let's eat! Author's website.

Trail Mix-Up (1993) – Talkartoons Theatrical Cartoon Series
CotD: The third (and last) of the three Roger Rabbit shorts, "Trail Mix-Up" sees Baby Herman and Roger invade Yosemite Valley on vacation.
Trail Mix-Up (1993) – Talkartoons Theatrical Cartoon Series
Roger Rabbit is left to care for Baby Herman in Yellowstone National Park. When Baby Herman's curiosity gets the better of him, Roger is plunged into all sorts of zany adventures.
He upsets a beehive, meets a tree-hungry beaver, and has several misadventures with a sawmill that conclude with Roger being sawed into hundreds of tiny Rogers. Roger, Baby Herman, the beaver, and a hungry bear are saved from going over a waterfall only to be plummet over a cliff. They had a geyser that shoots them all into the faces carved on Mount Rushmore, ruining the national landmark. Ultimately, even the earth itself is destroyed!

25%, Malbec 25%
Vintage: 2005
D.O. Jumilla
Winery: Bodegas y Vinedos Murcia
Total production: 20,000 bottles
Color: Inky purple
Nose: Cherries, Toasty Oak and Tar
Palate: "Gobs of flavor. Terrific Intensity" - Jay Miller
Finish: Full bodied, balsamic with a fine lengthy finish
The wine is fermented in 25,000 liter stainless
steel tanks, between 28 and 30°c for a period of 12 to 15 days.
The Petit Verdot is barrel aged in French oak for 10 months and
the Monastrell in American oak for 3 months. The fining method was
microbic filtration.
pH: 3.8
VA: 0.6 g/l
RS: 1.3 g/l Free
SO2: 38mg/l
Malolactic fermentation: yes
TA: 5.3 g/l
Total SO2: 64mg/l

The Jumilla DO current surface area is 32,000 hectares. The area
is characterised by broad valleys and plains crossed by mountains,
which lie between the Mediterranean coast and the meseta of Castilla
La Mancha. The vineyards are planted at altitudes between 1,200
and 2,400 feet above sea level.
The soil is red-brown limestone lying over limestone bedrock. It
has high water retention and medium permeability which allows the
vines to survive the long periods of drought, taking maximum advantage
of the water available. These soils are very low in organic content
and their structure does not favor the propagation of phylloxera;
the texture of the soils is loam or sandy loam, which gives them
good air drainage. They have a high pH and low salinity.
WINEMAKER: Marcial Martinez Cruz
Bodegas y Vinedos de Murcia is located in El Carche (Jumilla), in
the south-eastern corner of the province of Albacete at an elevation
of 1,372 feet. The climate is typical continental climate (cold
winters and hot dry summers). Soil composition is lime and chalk.
The Monastrell vines have aged 34 years and the Petit Verdot 14
years. Grapes were harvested between September and November under
hot and dry conditions. There was no rainfall during the harvest
which was hand picked.

The White House on Friday announced that the mother of a six-year-old killed during the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December will deliver the national weekly address instead of President Obama.
Francine Wheeler's son, Ben, was among the 20 children and six adults killed in Newtown, Conn. The White House said that Wheeler would be the first person other than Obama or Vice President Biden to deliver the address during the president's time in office.
"Nobody has a more important and powerful perspective on the issue than the families who have lost loved ones," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
Carney attributed recent progress on gun control legislation in the Senate to the lobbying efforts of Newtown families. Democrats on Thursday overcame a GOP effort to filibuster a gun-control bill. And Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.V, and Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., reached a compromise on a potential deal for expanded background checks on new firearms purchases.
Newtown families have been in Washington this week lobbying lawmakers for an assault weapons ban, a prohibition on high-capacity ammo magazines and universal background checks.

Interesting, I can modify those fields here just fine. Did you change

I changed keyboard layout soon at installation very first step. After system was installed, then I changed KDE layout.
Now I did an other attempt: dns fields do change now. Nevertheless, now fileĀ "/etc/resolv.conf" does exist in my system, while before, when I was not able to change that input filed, "/etc/resolv.conf" did not exist...

Every since we were little kids, my brothers and I have always wanted a puppy. My dad was pretty against it so we never went through with it. When I turned 13 and my brothers were nine, my mom took them to Chuck E. Cheese's. Across the street from Chuck E. Cheese's was a tiny pet shop. My brothers cried and begged until she finally took them in to look at the puppies. There were so many breeds with so many personalities. Suddenly my brothers and my mom spotted a sandy colored Cockapoo scratching at her cage towards my mom. She was the size of my hand, and we fell in love instantly. Right then and there they brought her home. Of course when we got home, my dad fell in love as well. Not only did Casey grow up to be the best dog, she is also my best friend.
My puppy has so many personalities just like my style! She is either seen begging for food, cuddling with me or playing and running around the house. Just like Casey and her personality, I change up my look everyday. Sometimes I love to dress comfy if I am feeling tired or relaxed. Other days when I am going out, I love to dress up. And sometimes I like to try new styles that are out of my comfort zone. Right now I am wearing a white daisy sweater, green army skinny jeans and brown lace up boots.
My puppy is the epitome of the perfect dog. She is loyal, loving and everything about her makes me so happy. Here are five of my absolute favorite things about her:
- She will eat everything and anything. Give her a spoon full of dirt and she will eat it faster then you can say, "Casey here's a treat!" (We don't actually feed her dirt!)
- She loves to position herself right on top of your behind. She thinks it's her personal pillow.
- We usually find her sitting just like a human. Her legs out in front of her, sitting up straight and her hands holding her in upright position.
- Casey has over 100 toys. She has a V-Day heart, a gingerbread man, a dog with a yarmulke and an Easter egg. We spoil her for every occasion.
- Casey can do some pretty amazing tricks. She knows how to play dead, sit, lay, roll over, dance and kiss!

- Description
Original Item: One of the most important accessories for small arms such as rifles and machine guns is the ruptured shell extractor. When a cartridge case splits, the gun cannot be used until the broken case is removed from the chamber. The results can be disastrous in combat or very expensive on a hunting trip. A ruptured case extractor is an inexpensive insurance policy to have.
This version is a genuine WW2 German military issue shell extractor usable on any firearm chambered for 8 mm Mauser. This cartridge is also known as the 7.9 x 57 and the 7.92 x 57. Shown here is the extractor in use with a Gewehr 98 and with MG34 and MG42 bolts
If the base of a cartridge case separates from the upper portion as in the sample shown, this tool is slid into the chamber. The bolt is allowed to go forward to engage the extraction groove in the tool and push the tool farther into the stuck case. The ridges on the tool catch in the neck of the case, and the case is pulled out as the bolt is retracted.
Grade: 1. Grimy after more than a half century of storage, but they clean up nicely. Expect some staining, also from storage.
Note: There were many manufacturers of these extractors, so they vary somewhat in appearance and construction style.

The main use of his tail, indeed, is for folding away his wings, much as the earwig folds hers by aid of her pincers.
I must devote a short division of this chapter to the earwig.

What shall I, this Me, do when I am an earwig or an emperor?
If the inmate be in the pupal state, or even if it be ready to emerge in its perfect condition, the earwig will eat it.
The care of the earwig not only extends to her eggs, but also to her young larv.
Some are office-seekers, and earwig king and consul, and compass the fall of officials, with an eye to salary.
From an earwig I obtained a filaria nearly five inches in length.
A name which excites anything but agreeable associations is earwig.
This is equivalent to writing a natural history and leading off with panther and earwig.

LABOR DAY Lectionary #907-911
The American Labor Day was founded in the wake of a strike against the Pullman Company by its employees and the harsh ending of the strike by President Grover Cleveland. 1894 was an election year. President Cleveland seized the chance at conciliation offered by Congressional legislation establishing a day to honor labor, especially labor unions, and Labor Day was born. Cleveland was not re-elected. The Lectionary and the Sacramentary provide texts for a Mass "for the Blessing of Human Labor." We suggest, when the use of such texts is not impeded by other celebrations, that parishes use these texts on Labor Day.

The San Francisco Giants did something for the first time all season Friday night by blowing a lead after eight innings, losing 7-4 to the Colorado Rockies in the series opener. Entering Friday's game, the Giants were 35-0 when leading after eight innings.
Sergio Romo blew his third save of the year and second versus the Rockies, allowing a career-high five runs in the top of the ninth. Tim Lincecum earned a no-decision by going six innings, surrendering three hits, two runs and six strikeouts. The Freak recorded his seventh quality start of the season and the Giants are 9-5 in his starts this year.
Even with the loss, the Giants have still won 15 of their last 19 home games against the Rockies. They are 14-8 in series openers and 4-5 on the year facing the Rockies. Michael Morse had two RBI's on the night and is batting .320 on the year with two outs, smacking 24 hits and 25 RBI's. The Giants are 4-4 on their current 10-game homestand with two games left to go.
Since yesterday was Friday the 13th, the Giants have played 48 games on this day since moving to SF in 1958 and have a 27-21 record.
Giants first baseman Brandon Belt took ground balls before yesterday's game and began taking two-handed swings. Manager Bruce Bochy said Belt continues to make progress from his broken left thumb and should return to the team during the month.

Decapitation (from Latin, caput, capitis, meaning head) is the separation of the head from the body. Beheading typically refers to the act of intentional decapitation, e.g., as a means of murder or execution; it may be accomplished, for example, with an axe, sword, knife, wire, or by other more sophisticated means such as a guillotine. An executioner carrying out decapitations is called a headsman.[1] Accidental decapitation can be the result of an explosion, car or industrial accident,[2] improperly administered execution by hanging or other violent injury. Suicide by decapitation is rare, but not unknown.[3]
Decapitation is quickly fatal to humans and most animals as brain death occurs within seconds without circulating oxygenated blood. However, some animals (such as cockroaches) can survive decapitation, and die not because of the loss of the head directly, but rather because of starvation.[4] Although head transplantation by the reattachment of blood vessels has been successful with other animals,[5] a fully functional reattachment of a severed human head (including repair of the spinal cord, muscles, and other critically important tissues) has not yet been achieved.
The word decapitation can also refer, on occasion, to the removal of the head from a body that is already dead. This might be done to take the head as a trophy, for public display, to make the deceased more difficult to identify, for cryonics or for other reasons.

Decapitation has been used as a form of capital punishment for millennia. The terms "capital offence", "capital crime", "capital punishment," derive from the Latin caput, "head", referring to the punishment for serious offences involving the forfeiture of the head; i.e., death by beheading.[6] Decapitation by sword (or axe, a military weapon as well) was sometimes considered the honourable way to die for an aristocrat, who, presumably being a warrior, could often expect to die by the sword in any event; in England it was considered the privilege of noblemen to be beheaded. This would be distinguished from a dishonourable death on the gallows or through burning at the stake. In medieval England, the punishment for high treason was to be hanged, drawn and quartered but in the case of nobles and knights it was often commuted to beheading; female commoner traitors were burned at the stake.
In countries where beheading was the usual means of capital punishment, such as in Scandinavia, the noblemen would be beheaded with a sword, symbolizing their class as a military caste, thus dying by an instrument of war, while the commoners would be beheaded with an axe.[citation needed]
However, in some countries such as China, decapitation is considered as a less honourable capital punishment than other ways like the gallows or poisoning because of differing cultural values. For example, Chinese believe that to separate any part of the body from oneself intentionally is disrespectful to his or her ancestors, who have brought the person's life.
If the headsman's axe or sword was sharp and his aim was precise, decapitation was quick and was presumed to be a relatively painless form of death. If the instrument was blunt or the executioner clumsy, however, multiple strokes might be required to sever the head. The person to be executed was therefore advised to give a gold coin to the headsman to ensure that he did his job with care. Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, and Mary, Queen of Scots, required three strikes at their respective executions.[7][8] Margaret Pole, 8th Countess of Salisbury, is said to have required up to ten strokes before decapitation was achieved.[9] This particular story may, however, be apocryphal, since highly divergent accounts exist. Historian and philosopher David Hume, for example, relates the following about her death:[10]
She refused to lay her head on the block, or submit to a sentence where she had received no trial. She told the executioner, that if he would have her head, he must win it the best way he could: and thus, shaking her venerable grey locks, she ran about the scaffold; and the executioner followed her with his ax, aiming many fruitless blows at her neck before he was able to give the fatal stroke
To ensure that the blow would be fatal, executioners' swords usually were blade-heavy two-handed swords. Likewise, if an axe was used, it almost invariably would be wielded with both hands. In England a special form of axe was used for beheadings, with the blade's edge extending downwards from the tip of the shaft.[citation needed]
Finland's official beheading axe resides today at the Museum of Crime in Vantaa. It is a broad-bladed two-handed axe. It was last used when murderer Tahvo Putkonen was executed in 1825, the last execution in peacetime in Finland.[11]
Decapitation by guillotine was a common mechanically-assisted form of execution, invented shortly before the French Revolution (although an earlier version of the guillotine, the Halifax Gibbet, was used in Halifax, England, from 1286 until the 17th century, and a version called the "Maiden" was used in Edinburgh during the 16th-18th centuries). The aim was to create a painless and quick form of execution that did not require great skill to carry out. The executioner, after chopping off the head, would hold it up to the crowd. There is dubious evidence that the head could remain conscious for up to ten seconds.[12] The account of Dr. Beaurieux who observed the decapitation of a convict named Languille in 1905, may imply that the head could still see as he recounts "Next Languille's eyes very definitely fixed themselves on mine and the pupils focussed themselves" (A history of the guillotine, Alister Kershaw), though there are reasons to doubt the accuracy of Beaurieux's account.[13] The French had a strict code of etiquette surrounding such executions; a man named Legros, one of the assistants at the execution of Charlotte Corday, was imprisoned for three months and dismissed for slapping the face of the victim after the blade had fallen in order to see whether any flicker of life remained.[14] The guillotine was used in France during the French Revolution and remained the normal judicial method in both peacetime and wartime into the 1970s, although the firing squad was used in certain cases. France abolished the death penalty in 1981. The guillotine was also used in Algeria before the French relinquished control of it, as shown in Gillo Pontecorvo's film The Battle of Algiers. Another guillotine existed in Vatican City until recent years.[citation needed] It had been brought in by Napoleon's forces during the early 19th century; and, in 1870, the Pope still claimed the authority to use it.[citation needed] In recent times however, the Vatican has abolished capital punishment in its own jurisdiction, and recent Popes have condemned capital punishment wherever it is still practised.
German Fallbeil[edit]
Many German states had used a guillotine-like device known as a Fallbeil since the 17th and 18th centuries, and decapitation by guillotine was the usual means of execution in Germany until the abolition of the death penalty in West Germany in 1949. In Nazi Germany, the guillotine was reserved for criminal convicts and political crimes including treason. A famous example of the guillotine being used was on the members of the White Rose resistance movement, a group of students in Munich that included siblings Sophie and Hans Scholl. Contrary to popular myth, executions were generally not conducted face-up, and chief executioner Johann Reichhart was peculiarly insistent on maintaining "professional" protocol throughout the era, having administered the death penalty during the earlier Weimar era. Nonetheless, the Nazis' use of the Fallbeil was chillingly routine. It is estimated that some 16,500 persons were guillotined in Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1945. This number includes resistance fighters both in Nazi Germany itself and in those countries that were occupied by them. As these resistance fighters were not part of any regular army they were considered common criminals and were in many cases taken to Germany and decapitated. Decapitation was considered a "dishonorable" death, unlike an "honorable" death: e.g., execution by firing squad.[citation needed]
The Fallbeil was used for the last time in West Germany in 1949, in East Germany in 1966.
In the days before photography, it was sometimes important to maintain some visual evidence for identification of executed criminals for public display as a form of political propaganda or intimidation. Public display of the severed head of a well-known person could serve this purpose.[citation needed]
Historical practices by nation[edit]
In traditional China, decapitation was considered a more severe form of punishment than strangulation, although strangulation caused more prolonged suffering. This was because in Confucian tradition bodies were gifts from their parents, and so it was therefore disrespectful to their ancestors to return their bodies to the grave dismembered. The Chinese however had other punishments, such as dismembering the body into multiple pieces (similar to English quartering). In addition, there was also a practice of cutting the body at the waist, which was a common method of execution before being abolished in the early Qing dynasty due to the lingering death it caused. In some tales, people did not die immediately after decapitation.[15][16][17][18]
The British officer John Masters recorded in his autobiography that Pathan women in British India during the Anglo-Afghan Wars would behead and castrate non Indian (including modern day pakistani) soldiers who were captured, like British and Sikhs.[19][20][21][22]
Pakistan's government employs death by hanging for capital punishment. Since 2007, militants from Tehrek-e-Taliban Pakistan have used beheadings as a form of punishment for opponents, criminals and spies in the north west region of Pakistan. Severed heads of opponents or government officials in Swat were left on popular street corners in order to terrorize local population. The beheadings have stopped in Swat since the military incursion and sweep-up that began in May 2009 and ended in June 2009. Three Sikhs were beheaded by the Taliban in Pakistan in 2010. Daniel Pearl was beheaded by his captors in the city of Karachi.
Despite official condemnation from the state[23] itself, such beheading continues to flourish in the Taliban strongholds of Baluchistan and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa[citation needed] and are often jarred and unprofessional[citation needed] resulting in increased pain for the victim.
In Japan, decapitation was a common punishment, sometimes for minor offences. Samurai were often allowed to decapitate soldiers who had fled from battle, as it was considered cowardly. Decapitation was historically performed as the second step in seppuku (ritual suicide by disembowelment). After the victim had sliced his own abdomen open, another warrior would strike his head off from behind with a katana to hasten death and to reduce the suffering. The blow was expected to be precise enough to leave intact a small strip of skin at the front of the neck—to spare invited and honored guests the indelicacy of witnessing a severed head rolling about, or towards them; such an event would have been considered inelegant and in bad taste. The sword was expected to be used upon the slightest sign that the practitioner might yield to pain and cry out—avoiding dishonor to him and to all partaking in the privilege of observing an honorable demise. As skill was involved, only the most trusted warrior was honored enough to take part. In the late Sengoku period, decapitation was performed as soon as the person chosen to carry out seppuku had made the slightest wound to his abdomen.
Decapitation (without seppuku) was also considered a very severe and degrading form of punishment. One of the most brutal decapitations was that of Sugitani Zenjubō (ja:杉谷善住坊), who attempted to assassinate Oda Nobunaga, a prominent daimyo in 1570. After being caught, Zenjubō was buried alive in the ground with only his head out, and the head was slowly sawn off with a bamboo saw by passers-by for several days (punishment by sawing; nokogiribiki ja:鋸挽き).[24] These unusual punishments were abolished in the early Meiji era.
Historically, decapitation had been the most common method of execution in Korea, until it was replaced by hanging in 1896. Professional executioners were called mangnani (망나니) and belonged to the lowest class of people.[25]
In Southern Thailand, there were at least 15 cases where Buddhists were beheaded in 2005. Thai officials suspect the attackers are part of the South Thailand Muslim insurgency who are seeking to separate the south end part from the rest of Thailand.[26][27]
Islamic Rebel forces have regularly carried out beheadings of opponents.[28]
In France,the main method of execution since the French Revolution in the 18th century was by guillotine. it was however formally abolished in 1981 since the last person to be beheaded by the guillotine in France was Hamida Djandoubi in 1977.
Classical Antiquity[edit]
The ancient Greeks and Romans regarded decapitation as a comparatively honorable form of execution for criminals. The traditional procedure, however, included first being tied to a stake and whipped with rods. Axes were used by the Romans, and later swords, which were considered a more honorable instrument of death. Those who could verify that they were Roman citizens were to be beheaded, rather than undergoing the much more horrific experience of crucifixion. In the Roman Republic of the early 1st century BC, it became the tradition for the severed heads of public enemies — such as the political opponents of Marius and Sulla for example — to be publicly displayed on the Rostra in the Forum Romanum after execution. Perhaps the most famous such victim was Cicero who, on instructions from Mark Antony, had his hands (which had penned the Philippics against Antony) and his head cut off and nailed up for display in this manner.
Pothinus matched Mark Antony in crime:
They slew the noblest Romans of their time.
The helpless victims they decapitated,
An act of infamy with shame related.
One head was Pompey's, who brought triumphs home,
The other Cicero's, the voice of Rome.
Bosnia and Herzegovina[edit]
During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992–1995) there were a number of ritual beheadings of Serbs and Croats who were taken as prisoners of war by mujahedin members of the Bosnian Army. At least one case is documented and proven in court by the ICTY where mujahedin, members of 3rd Corps of Army BiH, beheaded Bosnian Serb Dragan Popović.[29][30] Another case of beheadings of Serbs is documented to have happened on Kazani, on Trebević mountain above Sarajevo. Mostly Serb civilians were killed by beheading, and later on thrown in the Kazani pit. These actions were performed by several soldiers of the 10th mountain brigade under the command of Mušan Topalović - Caco.[31]
- Fritz Haarmann, a serial killer from Hannover who was sentenced to death for killing 27 young men, was decapitated in April 1925. He was nicknamed "The Butcher from Hanover" and was rumored to have sold his victims' flesh to his neighbor's restaurant.
- In July 1931, notorious serial killer Peter Kürten, known as "The Vampire of Düsseldorf", was executed on the guillotine in Cologne.
- On 1 August 1933, in Altona, Bruno Tesch and three others were beheaded. These were the first executions in the Third Reich. The executions concerned the Altona Bloody Sunday (Altonaer Blutsonntag) riot, an SA march on 17 July 1932 that turned violent and led to 18 people being shot dead.[32][33]
- Marinus van der Lubbe by guillotine in 1934 after a show trial in which he was found guilty of starting the Reichstag fire.
- In February 1935 Benita von Falkenhayn and Renate von Natzmer were beheaded with the axe and block in Berlin for espionage for Poland. Axe beheading was the only method of execution in Berlin until 1938, when it was decreed that all civil executions would henceforth be carried out by guillotine. However, the practice was continued in rare cases such as that of Olga Bancic in 1944. Beheading by guillotine survived in West Germany until 1949 and in East Germany until 1966.
- A group of three Catholic clergymen, Johannes Prassek, Eduard Müller and Hermann Lange, and an Evangelical Lutheran pastor, Karl Friedrich Stellbrink, were arrested following the bombing of Lubeck, tried by the People's Court in 1943 and sentenced to death by decapitation; all were beheaded on 10 November 1943, in the Hamburg prison at Holstenglacis. Stellbrink had explained the raid next morning in his Palm Sunday sermon as a "trial by ordeal", which the Nazi authorities interpreted to be an attack on their system of government and as such undermined morale and aided the enemy.
- In February 1943, American academic Mildred Harnack and the university students Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, and Christoph Probst of the White Rose protest movement, were all beheaded by the Nazi State. Four other members of the White Rose, an anti-Nazi group, were also executed by the People's Court later that same year. The anti-Nazi Helmuth Hübener was also decapitated by People's Court order.
- In May and September 1943 several Dutch members of the Wollweber League were beheaded with the axe.
Altogether, over 40,000 Germans were legally executed under the Nazi regime, most of them by guillotine.
- In 1966, former Auschwitz doctor Horst Fischer was executed by the German Democratic Republic by guillotine, the last executed by this method outside France. Beheading was subsequently replaced by shooting in the neck.
Decapitation by guillotine was the only legal method of execution in France (in a few cases, the firing squad was used) from the time of the French Revolution until 1981, when President François Mitterrand abolished capital punishment and issued commutations for those whose sentences had not been executed. It was last used in 1977, the last legal beheading in a democratic country, and the last use of guillotine in the world.
Nordic countries[edit]
In Nordic countries, decapitation was the usual means of carrying out capital punishment. Noblemen were beheaded with a sword, and commoners with an axe. The last executions by decapitation in Finland in 1825, Norway in 1876, Faroe Islands in 1609, and in Iceland in 1830 were carried out with axes. The same was the case in Denmark in 1892. Sweden continued the practice for a few decades, executing its second to last criminal - mass murderer Johan Filip Nordlund - by manual cleaver in 1900. It was replaced by guillotine, which was used for the first and only time on Alfred Ander in 1910.
Nordlund's execution was the last (legal) manual beheading in the Western world except for in Germany, where it prevailed until the days of World War II (see above).
The official beheading axe of Finland resides today in the Museum of Crime, Vantaa.
In Spain executions were carried out by various methods including strangulation by the garrotte. In the 16th and 17th centuries, noblemen were sometimes executed by means of beheading. They were tied to a chair on a scaffold. The executioner used a knife to cut the head from the body. It was considered to be a more honourable death if the executioner started with cutting the throat.[34]
North America[edit]
Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, Ignacio Allende, José Mariano Jiménez and Juan Aldama were tried for treason, executed by firing squad and beheaded during the Mexican independence in 1811. Their heads were on display on the four corners of the Alhóndiga de Granaditas, in Guanajuato.
Recently during the Mexican Drug War some Mexican drug cartels have turned to decapitation of rival cartel members as a method of intimidation.[35]
United States[edit]
The Utah Territory permitted a person sentenced to death to choose beheading as a means of execution. No person chose that option, and it was dropped when Utah became a state.[36]
Middle East[edit]
Saudi Arabia[edit]
Saudi Arabian authorities beheaded four men in February 2007— Sangeeth Kumara, Victor Corea, Ranjith Silva and Sanath Pushpakumara.These four Sri Lankan workers were convicted in a Saudi Arabian court for an armed robbery committed in October 2004. Their deaths sparked reactions from the international human rights group Amnesty International, which called on the Saudi authorities to abolish the death sentence. The court also ruled that the bodies of the four workers be crucified for public view as an example for others. In most such cases the respective embassy is notified only after the execution, thereby eliminating chances for international or diplomatic protest.[37]

Though not officially sanctioned, legal beheadings were carried out against at least 50 prostitutes and pimps under Saddam Hussein as late as 2000.[38]
Beheadings have emerged as another terror tactic especially in Iraq since 2003.[39] Civilians have borne the brunt of the beheadings, although U.S. and Iraqi military personnel have also been targeted. After kidnapping the victim, the kidnappers typically make some sort of demand of the government of the hostage's nation and give a time limit for the demand to be carried out, often 72 hours. Beheading is often threatened if the government fails to heed the wishes of the hostage takers. Frequently the crude beheadings are videotaped and made available on the Internet. One of the most publicized of such executions was that of Nick Berg.[40][citation needed]
Judicial execution is practiced in Iraq, but is generally carried out by hanging.

Mumbai: Sonakshi Sinha, who is well-in demands nowadays, has turned down a movie opposite Shahid Kapoor. Well, it was learnt that she was offered the leading role in the Tamil superhit movie Vettai's Hindi remake, but Sinha babe did not find the script much enticing besides since she did also not find good scope for her in the movie which was why she thought to drop the offer.
Since the film is a male dominated saga, Sonakshi, who has been doing only those movies which equally give the heroine her due part, did not consider it to be worthwhile thus said 'sorry' to the director Linguswamy. The successful film's director N Linguswamy has specially come all over the way from south to Mumbai to give the narration to Sonakshi. But after he finished with the narration, Sonakshi was not happy and she turned down his offer of the movie.
In the movies like Dabangg, the sequel to Dabangg (Dabangg 2), Joker, Lootera, Rowdy Rathore and Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai 2, Sinha has worthwhile roles to essay. Thus the film like 'Vettai' does not offer her anything strapping to enact. In short, there is no meaty role in the film. Sonakshi has designed a good position for herself in movie world thus she does not want to destroy it with the characters which do not give her meaty part to deliver on screen. Thus Shahid gets disappointed once again after Karan Johar opted out of the production of this flick. Shahid wanted Karan Johar to co-produce this movie since it is his dream to work under the banner of Dharma Productions. Karan agreed and things happened but all of a sudden he dropped the project for various reasons shattering Kapoor's long-awaited dream of working with him.
Well, we have also heard that few other Bollywood actresses too have turned down this offer to work in this film. Poor…Shahid Kapoor!

Chain requirements in effect on Highway 20
November 12, 2012
Cold temperatures mixed with snow made for some adventurous driving in the upper elevations of the foothills Thursday, transportation officials said.
A couple of minor traffic accidents occurred near the intersection of Highway 20 and Interstate 80 due to snow accumulation in the upper elevations of the foothills, causing Caltrans to implement chain requirements on the highway 9.3 miles east of Nevada City, from Vista Point to Interstate 80.
At 3:30 p.m., a minor injury accident transpired at Lake Spaulding Road, and another accident took place on the eastbound off-ramp connecting Interstate 80 to Highway 20, said Curtis Fouyer of the California Highway Patrol.
"People just need to slow down appropriately," Fouyer said.
Chains are also required for vehicles traveling on I-80 from Drum Forebay Road east to the Donner Lake Interchange, said Rochelle Jenkins, spokeswoman for Caltrans.
A winter weather advisory is to remain in effect for all elevations in the Sierra foothills from 4 p.m. Thursday overnight until 10 a.m. today.
Snow accumulations of three inches were expected in the upper elevations of western Nevada County, said Karl Swanberg of the National Weather Service. Up the hill, accumulations of six inches were expected along the crest, with as much as 10 inches expected to fall on the peaks in the high country, Swanberg said.
Light precipitation may persist through Saturday morning, Swanberg said, but skies are expected to clear Saturday into Sunday.
Freezing temperatures are anticipated overnight Saturday into Sunday, but daytime temperatures throughout the foothills will creep back toward 60
degrees starting Monday, Swanberg said.

As efforts continue to avoid the "fiscal cliff," charities are fighting to keep the charitable deduction for donors, the ninth-largest tax expenditure in the federal budget.
CNN has a good story on this important deduction:
Charities are vowing to fight any government action tooth and nail. A lobbying group has for the first time set up a website where people can send automatic, targeted letters to local lawmakers and the White House "to oppose any efforts" to limit the charitable deduction.
"We intend to go to our community -- whether you work on nuclear proliferation, or expanding arts in Harlem, or making sure dolphins continue to live and thrive, or making bicycle paths in middle America," said Diana Aviv, president of the Independent Sector, which lobbies Congress on behalf of charities and nonprofits. "Once we awaken that sleeping giant, it becomes a grass roots campaign of the magnitude that we haven't done so far."
The charitable deduction is the 9th largest tax expenditure on the federal budget, according to the Congressional Research Service. In 2014, the amount of revenue the government would forgo from those claiming charitable deductions is estimated to reach $52 billion.

After spending a day at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, Rep. Tim Griffin said Tuesday that it should remain open despite President Barack Obama's two-year-old call for it to be shuttered.
"The detainees are on the end of an island in the Caribbean. I'd rather than them there than in Jacksonville, Arkansas," said Griffin, R-Little Rock.
Griffin and other members of the House Armed Services Committee spent Monday at the facility. Republican committee members held a news conference Tuesday where they opposed shutting the facility and moving detainees to federal prisons.
Rep. Buck McKeon, R-Calif., who chairs the committee, said it would be "fiscally and morally irresponsible" to shutter the facility, saying it is the safest place to house suspected terrorists.
Griffin said the remaining detainees are dangerous "high value detainees" and moving them to a federal prison would create a new domestic target for al Qaeda terrorists.
Obama issued an executive order nearly two years ago calling for the detention facility to be closed in order to restore standards of due process and constitutional values lost over complaints of torture and indefinite detention.
Congress, however, has voted to block the closing. Most recently, it included language in a defense authorization bill that prevents detainees from being transferred to mainland facilities.
Earlier this month, Obama signed that bill into law but issued a statement opposing the Guantanamo restrictions.
At a news conference before Christmas, Obama reaffirmed his commitment to closing the detention facility saying it remains a powerful symbol that al Qaeda uses to recruit young terrorists.
Christopher Anders, senior legislative counsel at the ACLU, said the detention facility represents a "terrible legacy" of holding suspected terrorists without due process and of torture and abuse.
"As a result, it remains a big problem for the United States. It makes it harder for us to gain security cooperation from other countries and to convince other countries to abide by human rights laws," he said.
Anders also disputed claims that moving the 173 remaining detainees to a federal U.S. prison would pose a national security threat. The Bush administration labeled 16 of them as "high value" and the Obama administration isn't expected to prosecute more than a couple dozen of the others, Anders said.

The 2012 Philly Showcase, taking place this weekend, Nov. 16-18, is destined to be the biggest recruiting weekend of the year. In a testament to the amazing talent on display at the Philly Showcase from Philadelphia area and around the nation, last year more than 150 college programs attended the Philly Showcase, including 58 of the then-62 NCAA Division I programs. This year based on pre-registration numbers the Philly Showcase will easily surpass that mark, and may become the first recruiting event in recent memory to attract a representative from every single Division I program.
NXTsports, directors of the Philly Showcase, are also thrilled to welcome Easton Lacrosse on board as exclusive sponsor of Philly Showcase weekend. Said Andy Hayes, President of NXTsports, "we are very excited to welcome the lacrosse community to Philadelphia for the fourth consecutive year. The Philly Showcase has grown annually and this year is no exception. We can't wait to host the Philly Charity Showdown at PPL Park, and to welcome Easton Lacrosse to Showcase weekend as our exclusive sponsor. Easton has been a tremendous partner in making this event a reality."
The three-part Philly Showcase weekend begins Friday night at PPL Park, and continues throughout the weekend at Episcopal Academy in Newtown Square, Pa..
The weekend begins with the Friday night Philly Charity Showdown on Nov. 16 at PPL Park in Chester, PA. For the third consecutive year the Philly Charity Showdown will feature a great lineup of elite high school and club teams in action for the college coaches arriving in town on Friday night. The difference is that this year the Charity Showdown has moved to PPL Park, home of the Philadelphia Union and one of the nation's most amazing venues for lacrosse. More than 100 college coaches have pre-registered to attend Friday night and check out a great lineup of talent as some of Philly's best high school and club programs take on elite counterparts from all over North America in support of a great cause. The game lineup for Friday at PPL Park is:
5:00 p.m. • HEADstrong (PA) vs. Leading Edge (NJ)
5:55 p.m. • Haverford School (PA) vs. Hill Academy (ON)
6:50 p.m. • Episcopal Academy (PA) vs. Conestoga (PA)
7:45 p.m. • Mesa Fresh (PA) vs. Laxachusetts (MA)
8:40 p.m. • NXT L.C. (PA) vs. Titanium (OH)??
For the second consecutive year the Philly Charity Showdown will raise money for HelpHOPELive in honor of Logan Schweiter. Logan, a student at St. Katherine's of Siena School in Wayne and an enthusiastic rising lacrosse player in the Conestoga Youth Lacrosse (CYLAX) program. nearly drowned when trapped before being rescued from floodwaters near his Wayne, Pa., home in July 2011. Logan is fighting to recover from severe brain damage suffered as a result of the tragic incident. HelpHOPELive is a nonprofit that empowers individuals and families to overcome financial barriers related to catastrophic injury through grass-roots fundraising, and has been instrumental in supporting Logan and the Schweiter family, as well other families who have suffered catastrophic injury.
The Philly Charity Showdown at PPL Park is open to all lacrosse fans. Tickets are available at the gate for $20, and all children 12 and under are welcome to attend for free. All proceeds from the night go to the cause.

Chipotle Steak with Turkish Wheat Berries
The steak and wheat berries are refrigerated overnight in a marinade made with substantially spicy chipotle chiles in adobo, so plan accordingly.
Slideshow: Amazing Steak Recipes
- Servings: 4
- 1 cup whole wheat berries (7 ounces)
- 3 cups water
- 1 large tomato—peeled, seeded and chopped
- 3 chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, seeded and chopped, plus 1 tablespoon of the sauce
- 1/2 cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- One 2-pound sirloin steak
- 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
- 16 cherry tomatoes, halved (1/2 pound)
- 1 medium cucumber—peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch dice

In a medium saucepan, combine the wheat berries with the water and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer over low heat until the wheat berries are tender but still chewy, about 2 hours.. Drain and let cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, in a mini food processor, puree the chopped tomato with the chipotles and adobo sauce. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in the tomato paste, lemon juice, honey, garlic, cinnamon and cumin. Add 3 tablespoons of the olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
Put the steak in a shallow dish and coat with 1/4 cup of the tomato-chipotle sauce. Stir the wheat berries into the remaining sauce and season with salt. Cover and refrigerate the steak and wheat berries overnight.
Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Bring the steak and wheat berries to room temperature. Oil the grill and cook the steak over a medium-hot fire for about 4 minutes per side, or until lightly charred on both sides and medium rare within. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix the vinegar with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the cherry tomatoes, cucumber and parsley, season with salt and pepper and toss well. Slice the steak 1/4 inch thick and serve with the wheat berries and the tomato salad.
Make Ahead
The tomato-chipotle sauce and the wheat berry salad can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Suggested Pairing
The rare steak and intense tomato dressing point to an equally rich red wine, with plenty of ripe fruit.
