Chicago in the 1920's. Al Capone and Dion O'Banion battled for gang supremacy, John Dillinger was in jail, plotting his return to crime as a bank robber and bootlegging was the best way to make some cash during the hard times of the depression. A lot may have changed since then, but the image of tough, Tommy gun wielding gangsters, still evokes a sort of romanticism about crime that your local law enforcement agencies probably don't appreciate too much.
We're not trying to convince you to lead a life of crime, following in the footsteps of Capone or Dillinger, but acting like a gangster for a night is the best way to get in touch with your bad self. And for those dangerous gangsters, being an outlaw was just as much about style as it was about ruthless competition with the law.
Anything less than a snazzy suit and tie was doing the organized crime an injustice. That's exactly the reason why all of our gangster costumes come with a dapper look that you can wear to the speakeasy, or to the next bank robbery (again, not that we condone any sort of unlawful behavior while wearing any of these outfits)!
You can find sizes for any wannabe criminal here. Whether you need a kid sized costume for your little bank robber in training, an adult size outfit for the full grown mob boss or something with a sexy spin on it for the aspiring bad girl bootlegger. We can even set you up with a toy Tommy gun for heists. Just remember, if the coppers ever catch you, you didn't get nothing from us!
The gangsters of the 1920s have a way of capturing our sense of rebellion and danger, despite their desire to undercut the long arm of the law. Much like the sailing pirates of the 1700s and even historical thieves such as Robin Hood, we still romanticize the scrappy outlaw.
It's why the idea of dressing up like Bonnie and Clyde, or like Al Capone, is still to appealing today. This guide is here to help you choose gangster costumes for you and your friends, so you can bring a bit of the 1920s outlaw attitude to Halloween or your next costume party.
Gangster Costume Ideas
Gangster Girl with a Master Plan
Sometimes a girl just has to have it all. A girl in glamorous flapper fashion cooks up a schemed to get everything she wants (which is every last dollar in that vault)! This look comes from our line of womens flapper costumes and pairs perfectly with many of our gangster costume styles.
Call Up the Hired Goons
Naturally, the girl calls upon her muscle to help get the job done! After all, she can't carry the stacks of cash all by herself. Here we have two stylish gangsters who have come to her aid. The two mobsters are wearing one of our gangster costumes for kids and an adult gangster costume for men.
Family of Gangsters
Once the job is all done, it's time to make off with the loot! Here we have a full gangster costume group. We have plenty of group costume selections, but gangster is by far one of our favorites for a family. The family that plans schemes together is the kind of family that sticks together through thick and thin! Just make sure you decide who gets to be the big boss before you head out on a crime wave.
Our gangster girl may have gotten more than she had even dreamed as she finds true love during her dangerous capers! Bonnie and Clyde was one of the most well-known romances from the 1920s and although their tale may have ended in tragedy, it still makes for one of the most iconic couples costume styles around!
Well, it all comes down to this! Selecting your gangster Halloween costume isn't always easy, since you really have to decide what kind of "criminal" you'd like to portray yourself as. Just look at all the real-life criminals of the 1920s.
Each of them had a specialization! Machine Gun Kelly made a name for himself as a bank robber, who received his first Tommy Gun from his wife Kathryn Thorpe (aww, true love). John Dillinger went so far as to rob police stations, redefining what it truly means to "fight the law". Of course, Al Capone thought much bigger. The term Mob Boss is practically synonymous with Al Capone, since he used his wits to gain control of the criminal underworld.
So, part of choosing your look means figuring out which mobster style is right for you! These gangster costumes for men cover everything from the tough guy thug to a thrill-seeking bank robber, or to the brilliant mob boss who runs the city. We've laid our a few of our top gangster costumes that will truly show your 1920's mens fashion style.
Mobster Costume
Al Capone grabbed hold of Chicago's underground scene and started running it all like his own personal business. He also wasn't afraid of getting his own hands a little dirty in the process. If you've got some big ideas and you want to be the one calling the shots, then you might want to consider this mobster costume as you take on the role of an outlaw with a vision. It's a classic look that's great for any kind of 20s gangster you might want to dress up as, from Capone to crony!
20s Gangster
You have to give it to those mobsters of the 1920s, because they had some serious class. Part of being a member of the gangs back then was about flaunting their wealth, even if it wasn't legally obtained. If you were headed out to rob a bank, you wanted make sure you looked like a dashing rogue when you got there, which is why something like this 20s gangster costume wasn't out of the question when popping into the local bank vault to secure your fortunes.
Gangster Costume
Sometimes, being the boss is tough. Sure, it looks snazzy giving out orders to all your goons, but all the cops are gunning for you and your every move is under complete scrutiny. Maybe it's just better to be a hired thug for the boss. After all, if you serve the big boss well, he's sure to reward you quite well and you can slip under the radar with ease.
This pin stripe gangster costume is a classic look that won't draw too much attention from the coppers and they'll never suspect you of being the boss of the criminal underground!
Mafia Costume
If you are bold enough to take on the role of mafia boss, then you need a look that's as stylish as it is tough. You need to show those scruffy thugs that you run the show and you're not afraid to roll up your sleeves when they get out of line. You need this Mafia costume. It comes with all the equipment needed to become a bare bones kind of underboss who's not going to take any guff from anyone.
Women's Gangster Costumes
Don't think for a minute that only men were playing the role of outlaw in the 1920s. Plenty of women laughed in the face of the police with their wild crime streaks.
Perhaps you can model your own look after one of the deadly women gangsters! Bonnie Parker robbed banks with her guy, Clyde. Helen Gillis got on the list of Public Enemies, along with her husband Baby Face Nelson. Ma Barker led her family on a crime spree which led J. Edgar Hoover to even describe her as "the most vicious, dangerous and resourceful criminal brain of the last decade". Those are some strong words coming from the then Director of the FBI!
Well, whether you're looking to lead or you just need a 20s look to feel a little more like an outlaw, these women's gangster costumes should have you feeling like a true renegade!
Sexy Gangster Costume
If you're not in the mood to get a historically accurate gangster costume, then you have a little more room to play with your look. This means you can wear something like this sexy gangster costume. This look puts a sultry spin on the iconic look from the 20s. You still get the pinstripes style with a fairly classic blouse-style top. It shows a little more skin than a mobster gal might have back in the 1920s, but it certainly turns you into the MVP of your gang.
Women's Gangster Costume
You have to pack a lot of attitude if you want to be a 1920s gangster girl. In the 1920s, guys were trying to monopolize the organized crime game. The good news is that this womens gangster costume is chock full of attitude. From its modern cut, to its pinstripe patterns, this is exactly the kind of wear you want to take with you to the next heist… or 1920s themed costume party.
Women's Gangster Suit
Perhaps you're looking for more of a "power suit". And we're not talking your run-of-the-mill business suit. We're talking the kind of suit that tells your underlings that you're the woman in charge here. Although it wasn't actually all that common for women to wear suits in the 1920s, we think it's probably okay to flub a little bit of the history up when you wear something as fierce as this womens gangster suit.
Women's Black Gangster Suit
Walking the line between cute and intimidating isn't easy. Maybe you want your gang to know that you're the boss, but you also don't want to be stuck wearing a straight forward suit like some of the guys do. That's where something like this women's black gangster suit comes into play. It takes inspiration from the vintage suits from the 1920s, but it also adds a unique modern style that will help you assert your leadership.
Zoot Suits
The gangsters of the 1920s certainly weren't interested in being low key! After all, if you plan on working hard in a dangerous line of business, you might as well play hard too!
Of course, zoot suits were actually most prominent in the late 1930s and 1940s when heavy hitting jazz stars like Cab Calloway wore them. Today, the suit still gets tied to the outlaw lifestyle of 1920s gangsters, even if it's not entirely historically accurate. You can craft your own gangster style by donning one of these zoot suits.
Black Zoot Suit
A classic black zoot suit is truly the start of any good gangster costume. Pinstripes and a loose fit make it a loud and daring look for any man trying to outrun the law. Of course, you need to pair it with a hat (usually a fedora-style one) and a pair of black saddle shoes if you want the true style of a mobster.
Red Zoot Suit
Black may be the classic look, but it's certainly not the only way to go when setting up your own zoot suit style. This red zoot suit has all of the pinstripe style of the black one with a bright color that's truly eye-catching. The costume not only works as a great mobster costume; it also works wonders if you plan on being a jazzy big bad wolf this year.
Maybe you have a vision in your head of what your ideal 1920s gangster outfit looks like, but none of the gangster costumes you've seen to this point really do the job. Well, you can always piece together your own costume using some knowledge of 1920s fashion to guide you. Here, we have several pieces that highlight specific looks that were popular in the 1920s.
It seems like every new age brings with it a hat that rises to the top… literally! Just look at the extensive selection of hats and you can see a long history of different headpieces displayed before you. These days, the baseball cap is the standard piece of apparel to wear on your head, but back in the 20s, the fedora hat was where it's at.
If you plan on being a gangster that's in full fashion, then you're going to want a fancy hat to finish off the look and nothing fits that bill quite like this humble fedora hat. You definitely want one if you plan on playing the role of a mob boss.
Yellow Detective Jacket
Comics raged in popularity between the 1920s and 1930s and Dick Tracy began its run in 1931. Before superheroes like Superman and Batman filled every comic book from here to Timbuktu, readers loved to take in the adventures of Dick Tracy, a hard edged detective whose job it was to hunt down all the dirty gangsters of the era.
He had some pretty advanced gadgets, making him more than just your run-of-the-mill kind of police officer. Although a yellow jacket wasn't the norm for 20s fashion, it did certainly make him stand out during his daring adventures.
Roaring 20s Deluxe Pants
20s style pants were known for a number of different features. First and most prominently, the usually had a high waist. They were also often held up by suspenders and usually featured a cuff at the bottom of each pant leg. Some gangsters may have even adopted this style during their days as dangerous criminals.
You might notice that men in shows like Peaky Blinders often wear this style of pants, which seems to be a precursor to some of the trouser styles in the 1920s. These roaring 20s deluxe pants help give you that style when designing your own classy gangster style.
Jay Gatsby
No modern work of fiction pays homage to 20s culture quite like The Great Gatsby. Perhaps that's because F. Scott Fitzgerald published it back in 1925. Jay Gatsby himself was a bootlegger—a guy just looking to carve out a place for himself in the high class society of the time. Unfortunately, finding fortune within the confines of the law was near impossible, so he turned to the life of being a gangster.
This Jay Gatsby costume is one of our many exclusive costumes and it's based on the 2013 film. This costume is the culmination of 20s style if you're searching for a look that's a bit more realistic.
Gangster Costume Accessories
The number one rule when getting decked out for a costumed bash is that you need to pick some show-stopping accessories. After all, without that special hat or that toy machine gun, you really can't properly portray that dangerous gangster look that you're going for.
It'd be like dressing up like a knight and forgetting to bring a sword with you! Don't worry though, because we have you completely covered. Our selection of gangster costume accessories is top notch. Just check out a few of our favorite ones below to get your costume ideas brewing.
Gangster Violin Case
Toting around a tommy gun probably isn't the best idea, even back in the 1920s. We doubt the police officers of the time would have let you get away with that back then. There's nothing against toting around your "violin" in public though! It's a bit of a trope in movies that mobsters might smuggle some dangerous items inside of a case like this one, but when you bring this fake violin case with you everywhere, people will just assume you're some kind of famous celebrity musician.
Black Gangster Hat
Although wearing a hat with your suit is much less common today, it used to be the stylish thing to do back in the 1920s. A quick search through classic photos of gangsters like Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly reveal that many of the classic criminals incorporated a fedora-style hate with their normal attire.
If you plan on dressing up like one of them, then you should probably be wearing something like this black gangster hat, which is a modern rendition of the humble fedora hat from the age of organized crime.
Tommy Gun Toy
We would never encourage you to tote a real weapon around to get a completely authentic look, especially when we have so many great toy weapons that are MUCH less dangerous. It's much safer to grab this tommy gun toy to add to your gangster costume. It may look like the real thing, but it's made out of plastic and it has bright orange paint on the barrel, so it's clearly indicated to be a toy.
Plastic Cigar
These days, years of medical science research has taught us that smoking cigars really isn't very good for our health. (We can thank many doctors for their careful study of the particularly dangerous habit).
Back in the 1920s though, smoking a cigar largely meant you were some kind of big shot or you just had a new baby. Of course, we wouldn't recommend that you go out and start chain smoking cigars, but we would suggest that you use this plastic cigar accessory to look like the head honcho of any group of mobsters.
Phony Money
Don't try to rob a bank. It's a really bad idea. You'll probably get caught, sent to jail and that will be that. Those gangsters from the 1920s and 1930s may have been able to get away with it, but times have changed and law enforcement doesn't take kindly to such nefarious behavior. If you need the full bank robber look though, just use this fake money accessory. It looks real enough to make it look like you're holding on to fat stacks of cash!
Tommy Gun Purse
Don't let your purse ruin your look! When you're all dolled up as the newest crime lord, that last thing you need is your modern handbag taking you out of the illusion. That's what this tommy gun purse is for. It's shaped like the weapon of choice for the bank robbers of the 1920s and 30s, but it has compartments for all of your necessities. It's just one of our many costume themed bags and purses that we carry.

A good deal more torque, reduced consumption, lower emissions and less weight - but better? Before driving BMW's new X1xDrive28i, the first model to feature the German car maker's new turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, I wasn't so sure.
The new unit, known as the N20 and set to head into a whole range of models in the not-too-distant-future, has been conceived to (indirectly) replace one of the landmark engines of our time, BMW's classic naturally aspirated 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder, as part of an on-going downsizing program at the centre of the company's much heralded EfficientDynamics initiative.
The new four-cylinder follows the blueprint laid down by BMW's most recent turbocharged 3.0-litre in-line six-cylinder; it boasts the same 91mm bore centre spacing and runs a twin scroll turbocharger (albeit from Mitsubishi not Borg Warner), Valvetronic variable valve timing, Vanos camshaft control system and latest 200bar direct injection system from Bosch. At 144kg, it also weighs 18kg less than the old naturally aspirated six-cylinder.
First impressions reveal it to be well up to the job. With peak power and torque arriving 1600rpm and 1350rpm earlier than with the old six-cylinder, BMW's latest four-cylinder doesn't have to be worked anywhere near as hard before delivering its best.
In every day driving, it is noticeably more responsive, although its non-descript aural attributes are nowhere near as alluring as those of the engine it replaces (something BMW says will be rectified on certain models, including the upcoming Z4sdrive20i, by the addition of a electronic sound generator).
The new BMW engine might give away 12bhp to its perceived predecessor, but it is wonderfully refined and always feels more urgent; with 258lb ft of torque on tap at just 1250rpm its delivery is uncannily like a modern day diesel, with particularly strong low end attributes by four-cylinder standards and impressive flexibility across a wide range of revs. BMW puts the X1xDrive28i's 50mph to 72mph fourth gear split at just 6.0secs.
Power builds in a smooth, free revving fashion without any hint of turbocharger lag right from the idle onwards. Work it hard and it also revs happily to 7000rpm, although like most modern direct injection engines there's a distinct lack of engine braking on a trailing throttle; the engine's powerful electronics package ensures maximum coasting potential is achieved by allowing the revs to fall away.
In combination with BMW's familiar EfficientDynamics features – brake energy recuperation, standard stop/start and an on-demand water pump, it results in a 16 per cent improvement in combined cycle consumption over the old six. CO2 emissions are also cut by 36g/km in manual guise. Efficient, then. But not quite as entertaining.
Autocar: "something BMW says will be rectified on certain models, including the upcoming Z4sdrive20i, by the addition of a electronic sound generator"
And that sums up everything that is wrong with the modern car.
That aside, BMW continued to impress with their constant improvements in economy, it's just a shame that the 6 banger lump had to be sacrificed because of it.
byyyyyy 'eck it's uglier than a kick in the nuts, innit, though I do realise looks aren't part of the brand obsession equation.
Anyone know what X1 sales figures are doing? I would imagine they are inversely proportional to SpecSavers revenues.
One point about the X1. Does anyone else think the grille looks too big for the front of the car. I saw one this week that just looked awkward. It works on the X5, even the X3 but grafting it onto a smaller body just looks strange.
BMW are getting like VW with their "one grille for all" designs. Just doesn't work for me, sorry.
I had copied exactly the same bit of text from this report as Teg to make the same observation.
If they could have justified turbo-ing the six they would have, but what with emissions being so in the news these days, turbo-ing a four was the better option,lower CO2, plenty of power and torque.
Max power at 5000 rpm????? I thought I was reading about a late 80's Corvette!!!!
Amaizing how tastes differ. Everytime I see one, it gets prettier to me. Also, what I like about this design, is that you never mistake it for anything else other than the X1. Not even another BMW.
I'm always excited when BMW release a new engine - not too crazy about this down scaling, but, I do understand that it is necessary. Every BMW engine is a modern marvle, even if it is smaller.
[/quote] Greg should wait & do a full test before believing the economy claims. we ditched our 6 cylinder BM for a 170 bhp 2.0 litre 3 series. BMW claim 41 mpg we get 28.5, the six pot did 27. We wuz robbed. Anybody fancy a gorgeous to look at cheap to insure 3 series with 4000 miles on the clock? Make me an offer, we can't wait to go back to a sportier 6.
28mpg from a 2 litre as opposed to 27 from a 3.0? I don't get this. Do you not think this is largely down to your driving style? Perhaps flooring it more regularly to try compensate for the lack of relative power? As for the new engine, sounds great as usual. I predict petrol will become considerably cheaper than diesel in the future as demand for diesel continues to increase in the UK. Possibly to the point that petrol becomes the better buy from an economic aspect. Anyone else agree?
Do you mean the double kidney grille, the grille thats been a BMW design signature since time began?!

JESSE BRAY'S DISNEY – PACIFIC COAST OPEN ROYALTY

While many may balk at her robust athletic figure, 12-year-old grey mare Disney has proven that a "typey" polo pony physique is not everything. An off-the-track Thoroughbred from Canada, out of Vying Princess by Orchid's Devil, she carries more weight than your average polo pony, but her willingness and stamina have placed her at the top of Klentner Ranch staple Jesse Bray's* string. As last year's Pacific Coast Open (PCO) Final Best Playing Pony she played part of a jaw dropping five chukkers including a portion of the first of two overtime periods. While their partnership has been solid from the start, Bray admits that it has taken five years to perfect the details of her regime to reach the peak of her abilities. Further proving that the inner workings of the relationship between horse and rider are paramount to performance. Vying for the fourth time to garner their first Pacific Coast Open title together, she is the horse Bray depends on when it really matters. An all-around wonder horse, Bray's girlfriend Hayley Heatley also relies on the mare when playing in lower goal polo. The USPA sat down with Bray and Heatley at the Klentner Ranch barn in Carpinteria, California, to learn more about the grey powerhouse with a winning personality that equals her huge heart on the field:
How did she come to be in your string?
Jesse: "I got her from Joseph Stuart in Indio [California]. Ashton Wolf trained her and Joseph Stuart had her for about a year and a half before me. Originally, I watched Joseph try her in a Governor's Cup Final. I really liked her in that game and I told Ashton, 'if Joseph doesn't buy her, I want to try her.' Joseph ended up buying her, but from then on, I told Joseph every time I saw him, 'let me try her.' Eventually, he took her to Florida and played her in the 12 goal in Sarasota [Florida], but he didn't get along with her that well. And then when he got to Santa Barbara [California] that summer, it was the first time he had the opportunity to play the 20-goal here, he told me she wasn't one of his best ones and if I wanted to try her I could. She was a little newer, he bought her as a five-year-old, so she was a little green still. I played her one time and I bought her straight off the one time. She's been one of my best horses since then."

"She's got a big heart and a big motor. She can go and go and go—she always finds a way to keep going." – Jesse Bray
What chukker do you normally play her?
Jesse: "Lately I have been starting on her in the first and I bring her back as a spare in either the fifth or the sixth."
What do you think sets her apart from the other horses in your string?
Jesse: "She's a winner. In any fifty-fifty play that I have, I know that she's going to win and it's just up to me to hit the ball. She doesn't like to lose any ride offs, she doesn't like to lose any short plays, she just seems to find a way to win each play. She's got a big heart and a big motor. She can go and go and go—she always finds a way to keep going.
Last year in the [PCO] final she played a little bit of the first, the fourth, the fifth, the sixth and then when we went to overtime she played in the seventh chukker. Overtimes are usually only a minute, two minutes maybe, and I knew she could give me that. So I played her in the seventh as well, thinking that she would give me just a couple more minutes, but we played the whole overtime chukker. She's definitely proven herself to go for it. Plus, after the final she stayed up all month long to play women's polo in September."
Hayley: "I think the coolest thing about her is that she's an absolute pet in the barn. She is the horse that sticks her head over your shoulder in the barn, looking for treats generally. Last year she played the PCO and the next week she played in pro pool and the women's league and she was perfect. I feel like it's rare to have a horse that can play at the top level of polo down to my level of polo without a problem. She just has a great mind and doesn't do more than I ask."
How has your partnership grown over the past five years?
Jesse: "The first year I got her, I didn't have a chance to really play her all that much. It wasn't until the next summer that she started to become one of my better horses and the more I got to know her, the better she did for me. The more I played her too, the more minutes she plays, the better she goes. She's a very heavy mare, I pull her out of pasture and she's fat as can be, everybody laughs at her and it takes a while to get her fit. Right now, I'm just starting to feel her going well. The whole summer long, she never really felt that fit, that ready, until now basically. She takes a while to get going."
Does Disney get any special treatment?
Jesse: "She did for a while, which is why she never really went that well for me, because I babied her too much since she is a heavy mare. The second season of the 16-goal when I played with Geronimo [Obregon] and Facundo [Obregon] the first time I saved her for the end. I thought, she's my best one, and I had just finished playing the 20 goal in Florida and she was my best horse there as well. I didn't want to play her that much here until the end and I saved her almost all of July. I started putting her in games in August and she was never good. She never felt fit, because she is such a heavy mare and I took care of her too much. Then last year I just said screw it, I'm going to play her the whole season from the beginning. Maybe not two chukkers from the beginning or two halves, but play her hard and by the start of the PCO she was feeling at her best. She peaked at the PCO which is ideal and this year she feels the same. It took me a couple seasons to figure her out because of that, but I know now once she's fit and she's at her best, that she is my best."

What are your plans for Disney's future?
Jesse: "Somebody told me that one of her full sisters was a very good racehorse and that her foals are being sold for pretty good money. Once she retires from me I am thinking about breeding her to a racing stallion. I was told I could actually make some money from her racing blood, not just her polo blood."
Make sure to tune in to Klentner Ranch's Silver Air Pacific Coast Open semifinal against Sol de Agosto on Thursday, August 30 at 7:00pm ET to watch Disney and Bray in action on uspolo.org.
*Jesse Bray is a member of Team USPA. Team USPA is a USPA program designed to enhance and grow the sport of polo in the United States by identifying young, talented American players and providing mentored training and playing opportunities leading to a pool of higher rated amateur and pro players and the resultant giveback to the sport of polo.


I started suffering from migraines after a car accident when I was just 16. And when I get one watch out it is bad, I have literally lost days of my life because of how bad they are or because the drugs need to stop them made me sleep. The longest was 4 days, I lost four days. And when I came around my family just smiled at me and asked me if I was hungry, I didn't even realize the amount of time that had gone by. I have special room darkening shades and drapes in my bedroom.
My two boys who are now grown were left to care for me when they were young, by the time they were teenagers they knew the routine. I have been rushed to the hospital so many times and rushed in to make sure I am not having some type of anyrisum. To them be given a shot that make me sleep 8 to 12 hours. I wake up exhausted from them and it takes several days just to get back to normal. I don't get them as often as I used to but I still get them a couple of times a year.
I recently remarried and my youngest was in high school at the time. My new husband had never seen one of my migraines and didn't know how to help me and was scared to death. My youngest came in helped me off the bathroom floor where my husband found me, put me in bed, gave me my medication, shut all the drapes and shades and told him "Come on, we need to leave her alone" "Don't worry she will be ok". Bless my boys. I am 50 now and not much has changed except now my husband knows what to expect and he has taken over given me my meds and closing the drapes and shades and leaving me alone until it goes away.
So that's is my story, I live with migraines. Its just a part of my life.

China's giant space station is about to come crashing back down to Earth, but experts say it does not pose a risk to anyone.
We are just days away from China's prototype space station, Tiangong-1, crashing back down to Earth, and authorities are assuring everyone that there is no risk to humans. Experts belive that Tiangong-1 will reenter the atmosphere sometime between March 30 and April 3, and that it will mostly burn up on descent.
Tiangong-1, which is translated to "Heavenly Palace-1," was launched back in September 2011 and spent the next few years in orbit about 217 miles from the surface of the Earth, which is a bit closer than the International Space Station. It weights 9.4 tons and is 34 by 11 feet.
China put it into sleep mode after a couple of years and planned to bring it back down to Earth in controlled fashion, but something went wrong and it is now in an uncontrolled descent. Some of its pieces will survive re-entry, although they most likely will end up int he ocean. The odds of being hit by a piece of the space junk is 1 in 1 trillion.


This is how it is: Andrew Garfield says adorable things. He's articulate, and funny, and generally a man among boys, and it's a gooooood thing we love Emma Stone so much, wouldn't you say?
"Can we talk about Lebron for a bit?" -- on The Late Show With David Letterman a few weeks back. I have a soft spot for stars who aren't obsessed with plugging their stuff--plus, he went on to bashfully confirm that he's not very good at basketball himself (in real life, that is).

Glasses, a Suitcase, and a Watch Symbol Analysis
Shortly after he is released from prison, Malcolm goes to a store and purchases three items: a pair of glasses, a suitcase, and a watch. These will be his most valuable possessions throughout the rest of his life; in fact, they embody the nature of that life. Malcolm will spend the next thirteen years as a major leader in the Nation of Islam. In that capacity, he travels all around the world, works long days filled with meetings and events, and spends countless hours reading, either for work or as a way to continue to build his knowledge. These are the tools that he will use to achieve his greatest goal: to build the Nation of Islam. These three items, however, are not only his most valuable or useful possessions; they are also perhaps his only possessions. Malcolm repeatedly states that he owned no personal property and he never gained financially from his speeches and work for the Nation. In them, we see both a steadfast commitment to his religion and a symbol of his great humility.

Banknotes and National Identity in Central and Eastern Europe

Struck by the diversity of images appearing on the banknotes of the countries that he visited, and the very different ways in which these appeared to represent their emergent national identities, he was determined to examine the artistic and political processes involved in their creation. Research grants from the British Academy have enabled this initial fascination to be turned into a detailed banknote database, as well as an absorbing account of the very varied processes that led to their creation.

The First English Bible: A Lost Opportunity
The medieval English Church prohibited the use of the translation of the Bible made in Wyclif's time. Traditionally, the Wycliffite Bible has been understood as a reformist document, but Dr Mary Dove argues that, contrary to received opinion, the readership was prodominantly devout and orthodox. She sets out the evidence to show that the Church authorities were wrong to suppose that the translators had incorporated heresies into their translation; they were as scholarly as the resources available to them in late 14th century England allowed them to be, and they deserve credit for their achievement in enabling laypeople literate in English access to the book that dominated their culture.

YouTube Premium, Music, Originals Arrives India, Global Launch Done In Last Year June
YouTube has come up with a new streaming service of its own in India. It hs launched YouTube Premium, YouTube Originals and YouTube Music in India from tonight. However, the services were launched globally last June.
YouTube Music is as the name suggests, built on top of YouTube. This also gives the service a big differentiator, that users can also watch the video of each if needed. YouTube Music is a different app altogether and unlike the YouTube app plays even when the app has been minimised.
The app is also highly personalised and as you select the artistes you like more similar artists are shown for you to select. For instance, if you add A R Rahman, you start seeing Harris Jayaraj in the next row. This is a great feature, obviously built on the data from billions of users on YouTube. There is already a good mix of Indian songs and playlists on offer, that too in a mix of languages.
Users can download songs or just like them to create a list of liked songs or albums. Adding to playlist is also an easy options and those created before on YouTube are already listed in the app. There is also a good recommendations engine that starts throwing up music you are likely to like based on what you have already listened to.
Google is also packing in a bit of its search muscle to make it easier for users. So you can search with pretty much anything you know about a song. For instance, I searched "You can take my hat" and was shown 'Wear My Hat' by Phil Collins, exactly what I was looking for.
To listen ad-free, in the background and on-the-go with downloads, you will need to buy a YouTube Music Premium subscription. For paid members the Offline Mixtape automatically downloads up to 100 songs you love on your mobile device. YouTube Music Premium is priced Rs 99 a month.
YouTube Premium and YouTube Originals
YouTube has also brought its premium service with original content to India. Earlier called YouTube Red, this service offers ad-free playback and access to YouTube's cache or original shows and movies. At the moment there are a mix of shows, but nothing big enough to drive someone to take a subscription. We will have to wait and see if YouTube will put its money behind Indian shows.
YouTube Premium will be available for ₹129 a month and will include membership to YouTube Music Premium. The subscription will offer an ad-free experience with background play and offline downloads for millions of videos on YouTube, as well as access to all YouTube Originals.
Those buying the new Samsung Galaxy S10 series will also get four months of free access to YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium.

STRAIN PROFILE Girl Scout Cookies x Jack Herer Fem
Yield 600 gr/plant
Aroused Creative Energetic Euphoric Focused Happy Relaxed Uplifted
Citrus Earthy Mint Pine Sweet
The collaboration of OG Kush and Durban Poison led to the creation of Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). Both are highly potent strains that deliver impactful effects. More importantly, these two also provide excellent therapeutic benefits.
Over the years, GSC has proven to be a remarkable expression of the cross. For many, it is an even better variety. One reason cited is its unique sweet and earthy aroma. As trivial as it seems, the fragrance exuded is indicative of a rich terpene profile. The individual terpenoids not only offers distinct benefits, including medicinal, but it also works in synergy with the cannabinoids, enhancing each other's properties, and thus the effects are more pronounced.
Jack Herer, meanwhile, is the culmination of many years of selective breeding. Its lineage consists of two strains deemed the best of its variety - Haze and Northern Lights - and Shiva Skunk. Naming it after the renowned author and cannabis advocate is a testament to possessing remarkable genetics.
While GSC hits the body hard with a soothing, numbing buzz, Jack Herer takes the mind soaring high while igniting creative thinking. It is also an invaluable source of reprieve being a medical-grade hybrid distributed by pharmacies in the Netherlands.
Girl Scout Cookies x Jack Herer is a collaboration of two remarkable strains, both having won numerous cannabis cup awards. Instead of cultivating one type of hybrid at a time - both having different growth patterns - Unite its stabilized cross in the form of feminized seeds.
Growing Girl Scout Cookies x Jack Herer Feminized
Girl Scout Cookies x Jack Herer takes after the Sativa side on stature. Because it is a medium-to-tall plant, the vertical room merits consideration when planting indoors. Outdoors, it might be a concern if the preference is for the plants not to be visible from the road. Moreover, its strong scents could also draw attention in the neighborhood. In this regard, planting inside the house where a carbon filter could eliminate the smell is a better option.
One of the issues involving the height of Girl Scout Cookies x Jack Herer is the even distribution of light through all the bud sites. In a traditional setup, the best way to solve the issue is by installing vertical lighting fixture to illuminate the lateral branches, especially in the lower parts.
Another option is to maximize the potential by using the Screen of Green technique. By manipulating the branches to have all bud sites on an even upper canopy, it eliminates the need to have additional side-mounted lights.
During the flowering stage that lasts up to 10 weeks, this plant develops dense buds covered with a thick coat of trichomes. Every square meter, the expected yield is around 600 grams - a generous amount, indeed.
Outdoors, the best environment is one that is semi-humid. With temperatures ranging between 21-26 degrees Celsius and optimal care, it has to potential to produce up to 500 grams per plant. The harvest period, in the northern hemisphere, is on the second week of October.
Girl Scout Cookies x Jack Herer is a nasal delight. It has the classic earthy odor with sweet, minty, citrusy, piney notes.
On genotype, Girl Scout Cookies x Jack Herer slightly leans towards the Indica. However, its effects feel more balanced in which it starts with the cerebral high before tipping over the physical effects.
During the onset, one of the first things it does within minutes is to induce a euphoric high. The mental buzz, in turn, enhances the mood and thus makes one feel happy. Moreover, it also clears the mind and unlocks creative thinking. Due to increased focus, consumers could lock in on specific ideas that pop into the head, remaining productive.
The ensuing Indica traits, on the other hand, serves to bring calm to the nerves. As waves of relaxing sensation flow into and around the body, the muscles loosen up, tensions melt away, and the mood further brightens up. Instead of slowing one down, a moderate dosage lets one continue to be active. For some people, it could also raise libido.
Over consumption, on the other hand, is counterproductive. For one, it could cause some people to feel paranoid. Others might feel anxious.
Girl Scout Cookies x Jack Herer Feminized Seeds
Both GSC and Jack Herer, within the cannabis community, are spectacular strains that have captivated loyal fans. These two are exceptional showcases of the legendary status of its lineages. Combined, it affords one the best of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation.
In the garden, it is friendly to beginners. With training such as Screen of Green and other techniques involving bending stems, its indoor yield could be 500 grams per square meter, or 600 grams per plant if planted outdoors. While due diligence necessitates gender identification, any chance of males turning up from these feminized seeds is almost nil. United Strains of America can assure that as it works only with elite growers employing strict quality control standards.

Pretty nice. Perhaps similar in concept, but totally different...airsoft!
I know lots of people that would give this a shot (ha) for some airsoft equipment.
I Second the airsoft idea. Granted, I have no idea what the process is like getting vendors to sign on etc., but it would be a neat site.
Been thinking about aq site like this 4ever. Sweetness!

Copies of the Signed & Numbered edition of Unfettered arrived this week!
It was a day long in coming. I began taking orders for the S&N of Unfettered in late 2012. The stories were turned in relatively quickly and I published the trade hardcover in July 2013. But it took another two years to get the signature pages signed from authors all over the world. And it took Todd Lockwood a while to get the new piece of artwork completed.
Once the signature pages came in and Todd got me that artwork, the book went to press. And now it is home!
I will begin shipping out books early next week. Should be fun. It'll be even more fun when people begin receiving their copies.
I suspect many photos will be taken and posted online by the book's owners.
Here are some pictures of the S&N of Unfettered arriving!
The Signed & Numbered edition of Unfettered is a gorgeous book, one I'm quite proud of. I hope to post pictures of many more books in the future.
Is there a chance to get one these or is it too late?
Too late. For the moment. I have about 10 left. And I think I am going to auction them off for charity. More when I know it. Stay tuned!
Hi Shawn, any idea when Unfettered II might be out for pre-order? I know you had possibly said July 1st…is that still the timeline or is it being pushed out?
It will now be mid-2016 due to some authors being late with their stories for Unbound.

« Astute review of factors killing the death penalty ... with a questionable final assessment | Main | Pennsylvania Supreme Court upholds Gov Wolf's execution moratorium »
NY Gov Cuomo moves ahead with significant clemency effort for youthful offenders and others
As reported in this official press release, titled "Governor Cuomo Offers Executive Pardons to New Yorkers Convicted of Crimes at Ages 16 and 17," the top elected official in New York today announced a major new clemency initiative. Here are just some of the details from the press release:
Governor Cuomo announced that he will use his pardon power to alleviate the barrier of a criminal conviction for people convicted of non-violent crimes committed when they were minors, and who have since lived crime-free for 10 or more years. This action, the first of its kind in the nation, advances the principles from his Raise the Age Campaign, which calls upon New York to join 48 other states in recognizing that 16 and 17 year old children do not belong in the adult court system.
The Governor's action acknowledges that people can and do move beyond the mistakes of their youth, However, their adult criminal records can make it hard for them to find work, get admitted to college, find a place to live, and become licensed in certain occupations. The Governor chooses today to use his Constitutional pardon power to remove the bars created by state law that are associated with these convictions, and allow deserving individuals to move forward with their lives....
By pardoning New Yorkers who have reached this milestone crime-free, the Governor is helping people who present little danger to the public. Moreover, the pardon will be conditional, meaning that if a person defies the odds and is reconvicted, it will be withdrawn.
The Governor's action will affect a significant number of lives. Of 16 and 17 year olds who committed misdemeanors and non-violent felonies since such records have been tracked by the state, approximately 10,000 have not been reconvicted after at least 10 years. Annually, approximately 350 people convicted as 16 and 17 year olds of misdemeanors and non-violent felonies remain conviction-free after 10 years. In addition to lifting the burden on these individuals themselves, their families will also feel the positive impact of this action. Now a son or daughter, husband or wife, father or mother will be better equipped to help their loved ones as they find it easier to attain employment, go to school, find housing, and work in licensed professions....
Agency staff will make a recommendation to the Governor to grant a pardon if:
The person was 16 or 17 at the time they committed the crime for which they were convicted.
At least 10 years have passed since the person was either convicted of the crime, or released from a period of incarceration for that crime, if applicable.
The person has been conviction-free since that time.
The person was convicted of a misdemeanor or a non-violent felony.
The person was not originally convicted of a sex offense.
The person is currently a New York State resident.
The person has paid taxes on any income.
The person is a productive member of his or her community, meaning that the individual is working, looking for work, in school or legitimately unable to work.
In addition to this general invitation to apply, the Administration will do targeted outreach to candidates for the pardon, starting with the most recent cohort of potentially eligible individuals, those convicted in the year 2004. Administrative staff will review the cohort and will attempt to contact those convicted of qualifying crimes committed while they were 16 or 17 and who have stayed conviction-free. They will be informed of their initial eligibility for a pardon and invited to apply, using the website. Once the 2004 cohort has been contacted, the process will be repeated for individuals convicted in 2003, and further back until outreach has been made to all potential candidates.
The Governor's action reinforces his commitment to alleviating barriers for people with criminal convictions, exemplified by his creation of the Council of Community Reintegration and Reintegration in 2014, and his acceptance and implementation of 12 recommendations for executive action from that Council in September of this year. These executive actions included adopting new anti-discrimination guidance for New York-financed housing, and adopting "fair chance hiring" for New York State agencies....
With assistance from the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, representatives from the Governor's Office have developed a comprehensive training program and will begin working with these associations to train volunteer attorneys via webinar in early 2016. Although individuals may apply for clemency without the assistance of an attorney, assistance from a pro bono attorney will enhance the quality of an inmate's application and present his or her best case to the Governor. The New York County Lawyers Association, New York State Bar Association, New York City Bar Association, the Legal Aid Society, and the New York State Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers will prepare petitions for sentence commutations and the Bronx Defenders will provide post-petition legal services with respect to benefits, housing, and employment, for successful petitioners. The trainings, delivered via webinar with accompanying materials, will walk volunteer attorneys associated with the collaborating legal organizations through each step of being assigned a case, communicating with their client, and preparing a strong petition.
Today Governor Cuomo also granted clemency relief to two individuals who have demonstrated rehabilitation and made positive strides in their lives since their criminal convictions. These individuals were granted clemency relief in the interests of justice and rehabilitation. The clemencies granted today are in addition to the four the Governor granted several weeks ago.

Two, four, six eight. Who does Cuomo ex communicate? He is a preacher isn't he?
Posted by: Liberty1st | Dec 21, 2015 5:51:16 PM
Almost no one will ever qualify for that endless and stupid list of qualification. This is a false promise, more bs from lying lawyer Andrew Cuomo.
Posted by: Supremacy Claus | Dec 21, 2015 8:08:04 PM
"Conditional Pardon"? No. Pardon me once and if I screw up you just remember where I came from. And if is a rape case and I came twice then double the sentence.

New Approximate Bayesian Confidence Intervals for the Coefficient of Variation of a Gaussian Distribution
Vincent A. R. Camara, Research Center for Bayesian Applications, Inc., Largo, FLFollow
Confidence intervals are constructed for the coefficient of variation of a Gaussian distribution. Considering the square error and the Higgins-Tsokos loss functions, approximate Bayesian models are derived and compared to a published classical model. The models are shown to have great coverage accuracy. The classical model does not always yield the best confidence intervals; the proposed models often perform better.

Костянтин Олександрович Федін ( , Саратов, Російська імперія —  15 липня 1977, Москва, СРСР) — російський радянський письменник і журналіст, спеціальний кореспондент. Перший секретар (1959—1971) і голова правління (1971—1977) Спілки письменників СРСР. Член АН СРСР і Німецької академії мистецтв (НДР)(1958). Герой Соціалістичної Праці (1967).

Життєпис і творчість
Народився 12 (24) лютого 1892 року у Саратові в сім'ї власника паперової крамниці. З дитинства захоплювався письменством. Не маючи бажання за наполяганням батька йти «у комерсанти», втікав із дому. У 1911 році все ж вступив до Московського комерційного інституту.

Перші публікації належать до 1913 року — сатиричні «дрібниці» у «Новому сатириконі». Навесні 1914 року, закінчивши 3-й курс, їде до Німеччини для вдосконалення своєї німецької мови, де його застала Перша світова війна (1914–1918). До 1918 року живе в Німеччині у статусі цивільного полоненого, працює актором у міських театрах Циттау і Герліца. У вересні 1918 року повертається до Москви, служить у Наркомпросі. У 1919 році живе в Сизрані, працює секретарем міського виконкому, редагує газету «Сизранський комунар» і журнал «Відгуки». У жовтні 1919 року мобілізований і направлений до Петрограду у політвідділ Окремої Башкирської кавалерійської дивізії, де служив до переведення в редакцію газети 7-ї армії «Бойова правда»; вступає до лав РКП (б). Друкується у «Петроградській правді».

Навесні 1921 року Федін входить до співдружності «Серапіонові брати», згодом його призначають відповідальним секретарем, а незабаром і членом редколегії журналу Книга і революція. Цього ж року Федін виходить з партії, пояснивши це необхідністю «всі сили віддати письменству». У 1921—1922 роках — секретар редакції Державного видавництва в Петрограді; член правління письменницької артілі «Круг» і кооперативного видавництва «Круг» (1923—1929); відповідальний секретар журналу «Зірка» (1924—1926); голова правління «Видавництва письменників у Ленінграді» (1928—1934). У 1920-ті роки Федін написав повісті «Анна Тімофевна» (1921—1922), «Наровчатська хроніка» (1924—1925), «Мужики» (1926), «Трансвааль» (1925—1926), «Старий» (1928—1929), низку оповідань. За оповідання «Сад» (1921) Федін отримав першу премію на конкурсі «Будинку літераторів» у Петрограді.

У ці ж роки написав два своїх кращих романи: «Міста і роки», у якому відбилися враження про життя в Німеччині в роки Першої світової війни і досвід громадянської війни в Росії, і «Брати» — роман про Росію революційних часів. Обидва романи присвячені долі інтелігенції в революції і натхненно сприйняті читачами як у Росії, так і за кордоном (з 1926 по 1929 роки романи видані в перекладах на німецьку, польську, чеську, іспанську, французьку мови). Про «Братів» Стефан Цвейг писав Федіну 10 грудня 1928 року: «Ви володієте тим, що так незрозуміло більшості в російських художниках (і чого я, на мій жаль, зовсім позбавлений), — чудовою здатністю зображати, з одного боку, народне, зовсім просте, людське, і водночас створювати вишукані артистичні фігури, розкривати духовні конфлікти у всіх їх метафізичних проявах».

Захворівши на тяжку форму туберкульозу легенів, з вересня 1931 по листопад 1932 року Федін лікувався у Давосі (Швейцарія), а потім — у Санкт-Блазієні (Німеччина). У 1933—1934 роках як член оргкомітету Федін бере участь у підготовці Першого Всесоюзного з'їзду письменників. До 1937 року Федін продовжував жити в Ленінграді (Ливарний проспект, 33), потім переїхав до Москви. У 1933—1935 роках працює над романом «Викрадення Європи» — першим у радянській літературі політичним романом. Роман «Санаторій "Арктур"» (1940), написаний за враженнями від перебування в санаторії для туберкульозних хворих у Давосі, тематично перегукується з «Чарівної горою» Томаса Манна. Одужання героя — радянського підданого — на тлі пригніченої економічної кризи Заходу напередодні приходу до влади фашистів символізує переваги радянського ладу.

У роки війни, з жовтня 1941 по січень 1943 року, живе з сім'єю в евакуації у місті Чистополь. З листопада 1945 по лютий 1946 року — спеціальний кореспондент газети «Известия» на Нюрнберзькому процесі. У роки війни він написав три цикли нарисів за враженнями від поїздок на прифронтові і звільнені від окупації області, а також книгу спогадів «Горький серед нас» про літературне життя Петрограда початку 1920-х років, про групу «Серапіонові брати» і роль, яку відіграв Горький у долях письменників-початківців. Книга неодноразово піддавалася жорсткій офіційній критиці за спотворення образу Горького і в повному обсязі надрукована лише в 1967 році. К. І. Чуковський писав про цю книгу «Словом, як не дивись, з якого боку не підійди, це вершинна книга з усіх сучасних мемуарних. Книга класична. І я радий, що вона позбавлена колишніх каліцтв».

Починаючи з 1943 року, працює над трилогією «Перші радощі» (1943—1945), «Незвичайне літо» (1945—1948), «Вогнище» (розпочато в 1949 році, друга книга залишилася незавершеною). У 1957 році вийшла збірка «Письменник, мистецтво, час» (1957), що включила в себе публіцистичні статті про письменницьку працю і нариси про письменників- класиків і сучасників. Докладніше про цю книгу Борис Пастернак писав Федіну: "Я з великим запізненням почав читати твою книгу, і поспішаю сказати тобі про захват, який охопив мене з перших сторінок … Такі ж гарні як Пушкін, майже всі «Вічні супутники». Несподівано хороша стаття про Еренбурга, на тому ж майже рівні. Про Блока і Зощенка — з якимись перешкодами, без такого наскрізного, переможного буяння … ".

З 1947 по 1955 роки Федін — керівник секції прози, а потім — голова правління (1955—1959) Московського відділення Спілки письменників СРСР. Перший секретар (1959—1971) і голова правління (1971—1977) СП СРСР.

У 1958 році Федіна обрано академіком АН СРСР по Відділенню літератури і мови. У 1968 році висувався на Нобелівську премію, але Шведська академія, визнавши, що основні літературні заслуги письменника «відстоять занадто далеко за часом», не стала всерйоз розглядати його кандидатуру.

Федін помер 15 липня 1977 року, похований у Москві на Новодівичому цвинтарі (ділянка № 9)[5].

Критика
Перед німецько-радянською війною Федін займав активну громадську позицію, неодноразово виступаючи захисником права письменника на свободу творчості і відстоюючи традиції російської літератури. Однак, у післявоєнний період, відповідно до займаних ним посад «керівника радянської літератури», його позиція з найбільш гострих моментів літературного життя країни стає більш пасивною, яка повністю відповідає лінії партії та уряду. Федін не виступив на захист Б. Л. Пастернака, з яким до цього дружив 20 років, вмовляв його відмовитися від Нобелівської премії. Його відсутність на похороні друга обумовлювалась не боягузтвом, а тяжкою хворобою, що збіглася зі смертю поета. Він дійсно виступив у секретаріаті Спілки письменників проти публікації роману А. І. Солженіцина «Раковий корпус», хоча раніше вітав публікацію в «Новом мире» «Одного дня Івана Денисовича». Він також підписав Лист групи радянських письменників до редакції газети «Правда» 31 серпня 1973 року про Солженіцина і Сахарова.
