William Brodie (28 September 1741 – 1 October 1788), more commonly known by his prestigious title of Deacon Brodie, was a Scottish cabinet-maker, deacon of the trades guild and Edinburgh city councillor, who maintained a secret life as a burglar, partly for the thrill, and partly to fund his gambling.
By day, Brodie was a respectable businessman, member of the burgh council and deacon (or president) of the Incorporation of Wrights and Masons. Part of his job in building cabinets was to install and repair their locks and other security mechanisms and repair door locks. He also served on a jury. He socialised with the gentry of Edinburgh, meeting poet Robert Burns and the painter Sir Henry Raeburn. He was also a member of The Edinburgh Cape Club.

He socialised with the gentry of Edinburgh, meeting poet Robert Burns and the painter Sir Henry Raeburn. He was also a member of The Edinburgh Cape Club.
At night, however, Brodie became a burglar and thief. He used his daytime job as a way to gain knowledge about the security mechanisms of his clients and to copy their keys using wax impressions. As the foremost wright of the city, Brodie was asked to work in the homes of many of the richest members of Edinburgh society. He used the illicit money to maintain his second life, including five children, two mistresses who did not know of each other, and a gambling habit. He reputedly began his criminal career around 1768 when he copied keys to a bank door and stole £800. In 1786 he recruited a gang of three thieves, Brown, Smith and Ainslie.
The case that lead to Brodie's downfall began later in 1786 when he organised an armed raid on an Excise office in Chessel's Court on the Canongate. Brodie's plan failed and Ainslie was captured. Ainslie agreed to turn King's evidence, to avoid transportation, and informed on the rest of the gang. Brodie escaped to the Netherlands intending to flee to the United States but was arrested in Amsterdam and shipped back to Edinburgh for trial.
The trial started on 27 August 1788. At first there was no hard evidence against Brodie before the tools of his criminal trade were found in his house; copied keys, a disguise and pistols. The jury found Brodie and his henchman George Smith, a grocer, guilty. Smith was an English locksmith responsible for a number of thefts, even stealing the silver mace from the University of Edinburgh.
Brodie and Smith were hanged at the Tolbooth on 1 October 1788, using a gallows Brodie had designed and funded the year before. According to one tale, Brodie wore a steel collar and silver tube to prevent the hanging from being fatal. It was said that he had bribed the hangman to ignore it and arranged for his body to be removed quickly in the hope that he could later be revived. If so, the plan failed. Brodie was buried in an unmarked grave at the Parish Church in Buccleuch. However rumours of his being seen in Paris circulated later and gave the story of his scheme to evade death further publicity.
Popular myth holds that Deacon Brodie built the first gallows in Edinburgh and was also its first victim. Of this William Roughead in Classic Crimes states that after research he was sure that although the Deacon may have had some hand in the design "...it was certainly not of his construction, nor was he the first to benefit by its ingenuity".
The dichotomy between Brodie's respectable façade, and his real nature inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Stevenson's father had furniture made by Brodie.
Deacon Brodie is commemorated by a pub of that name on Edinburgh's Royal Mile, on the corner between the Lawnmarket and Bank Street which leads down to The Mound, and a close (or alleyway) off the Royal Mile has been named after him. There is also a pub in Ward Road, Dundee named after him. A pub in New York City carrying his name sits on the south side of the famous west side 46th Street Restaurant Row between 8th Avenue and 9th Avenue, closer to 9th Avenue.
In 1975 publisher Hamish Hamilton published a book by Forbes Bramble about his life: The Strange Case of Deacon Brodie.
In 1997 a TV movie of the same name was made starring Billy Connolly.
It was a cool, blustery, grey old evening in Melbourne, Thursday 19.05.2016. I did one of my standard laps of Melbourne, well I did it twice tis trip to be honest. I always try to walk the Jim Stynes Boardwalk, down along the Yarra, I always stop and read that plaque. I remember Jim's battle with cancer, I remember his death and how pertinent it was at the time. I got taken to the AFL on Friday night by people I do business with, and we spoke of Jarryd Roughead, and that conversation went on then to Jim Stynes. I never really knew that much about him, still don't I guess, but when I got home yesterday I did a little research and found a video on youtube about Jimmy and his Reach Foundation. After watching this 40 odd minute video, you realize that this guy was firstly incredibly tough and resilient, never, ever did he give in to anything. A most unique individual and one amongst many inspiring and unique individuals that we have on the planet. I look forward to my next trip to Melbourne in July, that plaque and that walkway will be slightly more poignant for me now as I know jsut a little bit more about the man that is and was Jim Stynes.

She is the fourth US Navy ship named after the "Father of the American Navy, Commodore John Barry (1745-1803). She is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, commissioned in 1992 and homeported in Naval Station Norfolk, VA, where this photo was taken of her undergoing some maintenance in 2012.
She is the second in class. Several improvements over Arleigh Burke exist on this ship and all following Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. They include the ability to refuel a helicopter and several other small improvements.
Her first commanding officer, Gary Roughead, went on to become Chief of Naval Operations.
She fired 55 Tomahawk cruise missiles during Operation Odyssey Dawn in response to the Libyan conflict in 2011 and was one of four Tomahawk-equipped ships operating in the eastern Mediterranean during the 2013 political upheaval over Syrian government use of chemical weapons in their civil war, although none were fired in the end.
In the background and on the other side of the pier, is the USS Truxtun (DDG-103), a much more modern variant of the same class of ship.

Communists, Witches and Homosexuals
In 1809 a malicious child accused her women teachers of having “an inordinate affection.” The resulting scandal was reported in a chapter entitled “Closed Doors,” or “The Great Drumsheugh Case” in a book by William Roughead, published in 1930.
Lillian Hellman, a 26-year-old unknown writer from New Orleans, took this event and wrote the highly acclaimed The Children’s Hour. It opened in New York 65 years ago this month and ran for 691 performances.
The play’s revival enjoyed success again in the 50s, ironically around the same time that Senator Joseph McCarthy (the malicious child?) brought charges against Hellman, Arthur Miller and others for associating with Communists. Like Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Ms. Hellmann’s play is not so much about Communists, witches, or homosexuals as it is about the damage wrought by slander and a gullible public, too willing to see the accusation as more important than the accused, too willing to condemn without proof.

Speedy Renault Clio R3 Rally Car - Peter Taylor and Andrew Roughead - Cropton Forest, North Yorkshire - Trackrod Rally
Another photo from the Trackrod rally in Cropton Forest, North Yorkshire back in Septemeber. Cropton Forest is part of Dalby Forest and this was my first ever rally that I have been to and really enjoyed it.
I was really practising my panning technique and got loads of tips from fellow Twitterer Mark Sayer, his Twitter is here twitter.com/#!/marksayer remember to check out his awesome rally photos too!
This was one of my best panning shots although I would have preferred more of the car in the frame but atleast the front of it is in focus. I do need a faster focusing lens as my trusty Minolta 'Beercan' is a little slow in focusing but hey still got some photos with it. I do feel I have capture the sense of speed as this is what I was after.
I am always open to constructive criticism so let me know what I could have done better or what you like or even don't like :-)

USS Barry (DDG-52) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer, commissioned in 1992. Barry is the fourth United States Navy ship named after the "Father of the American Navy", Commodore John Barry (1745–1803). Her homeport is Naval Station Yokosuka, Japan. Several improvements over Arleigh Burke exist on this ship and all following Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. They include the ability to refuel a helicopter and several other small improvements.
Barry's keel was laid down on 26 February 1990, at the Ingalls Shipbuilding shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. She was launched on 10 May 1991, and christened on 8 June 1991, by her sponsor Rose Cochran, wife of United States Senator Thad Cochran. Barry was commissioned into the U.S. Atlantic Fleet on 12 December 1992, and was placed under the command of Commander Gary Roughead. The commissioning ceremony took place at Naval Station Pascagoula in Pascagoula, Mississippi.
Following ship's commissioning, Barry underwent Post Delivery Test and Trials (PDT&T). During this period, Barry tested every major system on board. An Operational Propulsion Plant Examination (OPPE) was conducted, with Barry receiving an overall grade of Excellent. Combat Systems Ship Qualifications Trials (CSSQT) were also conducted that included 13 missile firings.
Barry has received many awards, including the Battenberg Cup for the years 1994, 1996, and 1998—making Barry one of only three ships (as of 2008) to have won the prestigious award three times. She has also been awarded the Battle E award 7 times, and received the Golden Anchor and Silver Anchor Awards for retention. More recently, in 2004 Barry received the Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy for being the most improved ship in the Atlantic Fleet.

The Victorian villa built on the corner of Long and Jeffrey Streets, opposite the Leongatha Railway Station was originally known as Mrs. Maher's Railway Dining Rooms, and was constructed by contractors Gleeson and Love in 1891.
Mrs. Maher was a fine example of the pioneering spirit that helped to build Leongatha, and an inspiration to Victorian women in what was then a remote community. Mrs. Maher’s husband, Denis Maher, was killed by a fallen tree in 1890 whilst working on the construction of the Great Southern Railway. Rather than crumbling under the weight of her grief, Mrs. Maher took stock of her situation and used her husband’s savings to build the villa that became Mrs. Maher's Railway Dining Rooms, which she also used as a boarding house, taking advantage of the passing trade because of the railway station opposite her front door. Mrs. Maher ran the very successful business of catering and lodging until the late 1890s, when she finally remarried and moved with her new husband to New Zealand.
The completion of the South Eastern Railway to Leongatha in the middle of 1891 (and its official opening later that year on 17 December) provided the impetus for early commercial development in the township, which occurred on both sides of the railway station ground. Mrs. Maher's Railway Dining Rooms, together with Long's Store on the opposite corner, and Hayes' Store at the intersection with Roughead Street were among the first buildings to be constructed on the north side of the railway line, whilst McCartin's and Bair's Hotels among the first to the south. Eventually, the main commercial area was to develop south of the railway line and only Mrs. Maher's Railway Dining Rooms and Haye’s Store remain to demonstrate this early period of development on the north side.
The former Mrs. Maher’s Railway Dining Rooms is a standard double fronted symmetrical late Victorian hip and valley residence in weatherboard construction. It has a mitred straight roof front verandah with stop chamfered posts with two remaining pieces of late Victorian cast iron brackets, The verandah returns on the street side and is now partly built in. It has typical single double hung windows to either side of the front door with sidelights. The eaves brackets have been removed. There is a limited skillion section at the rear and a small gabled weatherboard shed in the back area.
Leongatha is a town in the foothills of the Strzelecki Ranges, South Gippsland Shire, Victoria, Australia, located 135 kilometres south-east of Melbourne. The town is the civic, commercial, industrial, religious, educational and sporting centre of the region. The Murray Goulburn Co-operative Co. Limited, is a farmers' co-operative which trades in Australia under the Devondale label, and has a dairy processing plant just north of the town producing milk-based products for Australian and overseas markets. First settlement of the area by Europeans occurred in 1845. The Post Office opened as Koorooman on 1 October 1887 and renamed Leongatha in 1891 when a township was established on the arrival of the railway. The Daffodil Festival is held annually in September. Competitions are held and many daffodil varieties are on display. A garden competition is also held and there are many beautiful examples throughout the provincial town. The South Gippsland Railway runs historical diesel locomotives and railcars between the market and dairy towns of Nyora and Leongatha, passing through Korumburra.
