Singing Cowboy Gene Autry enacting violation of the model cowboy's code--kicking a man when he's down.

It is a code based on personal honor, respect to others, self-restraint and pride. Can you think of an ethical dilemma which couldn't be resolved by the application of at least one of the tenets listed below? Clearly this code of conduct can trace its lineage back to the age of chivalry.

The Cowboy Code
- by Gene Autry

A cowboy must never take unfair advantage of an enemy.
He must never go back on his word, or (betray) a trust confided in him.
He must always tell the truth.
He must always be gentle with children, the elderly and animals.
He must not possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas.
He must help people in distress.
He must be a good worker.
He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action and personal habits.
He must respect women, parents, and his nation's laws.
The Cowboy is a patriot.

'Portrait Of Sarah' Winner, (People) National Geographic Annual Photo Contest (2008)

People Winner:

Portrait of Sarah, age 27

Judges' Comments:
This enigmatic shot is "timeless‚ and has a beautiful simplicity with no pretense," says Monica Corcoran, senior photo producer at National Geographic Digital Media. "I keep looking at the portrait and wondering about this woman," says freelance photojournalist Tyrone Turner. For National Geographic magazine senior photo editor Susan Welchman, "the ambiguous, mysterious style also frees the viewer from knowing when or what time period it was shot. Or is it a painting? All unknowns release the viewer from facts and encourage interpretation."

A Talking Tour Eiffel--Photo Honorable Mention National Geographic Photo Contest

Places Honorable Mention

When I was riding the metro during a visit to Paris, France, the view looked amazing. However, when I turned to the other side, there she was, the Eiffel Tower, looking at me almost like she wanted to tell me something. Suddenly, it hit me and I saw the whole image in my mind and that's when I decided to quickly grab my camera and take a few shots, hoping the outcome was the one that I've just pictured.

etc., etc. These are the nice humane experiment types I like.

I'm going to use the Flash Player in some cases, because the pictures from LIFE are generally stories and essays. It seems a shame to only post one Eisenstaedt, or Bourke-White, when there are beautiful stories where each image is crucial.

'Fecht Kunst' Nicoletto Giganti-1622

" 'Fecht-kunst' by Nicoletto Giganti, 1622 is available from Wolfenbüttel Digital Library. {this is the German translation of the original 1606 rapier manual called 'Scola overo Teatro'}

Best known for fully describing the lunge, Giganti was a fencing master from Venice. He is thought to have also plaigiarised a rapier manual by Savlator Fabris (I don't think it's this one below) in 1606. There's not too much around online."

The Good Samaritan: Christmas Day Papua New Guinea 1942/Photo By George Silk

Title: Blinded soldier, New Guinea

Credit Line: National Gallery of Australia, Canberra

This iconic image from World War Two was taken by George Silk, official war photographer for the Australian Government 1939–43. It was taken on Christmas Day 1942 after Australian and American troops had reversed the Japanese advance in New Guinea.

Silk recalled that standing alone near ‘the front’ in a field of tall Kunai grass he saw two people walking towards him. A New Guinea volunteer was tenderly helping a wounded soldier. Silk was deeply affected and his response as a photographer was purely instinctive. He took only one shot.

Blinded soldier, New Guinea was a powerful replay of the Christian parable of the Good Samaritan and it vindicated the efforts of the New Guinea native volunteers whose involvement in the war was pivotal to the allies’ success.

"Capa was an operator. Bourke-White was an operator. They saw the big picture and made it 'their war.' And George just doggedly wanted to be there and conquer his fears and show people what it was like."

"He wasn't an operator about the war," said John Loengard, a former picture editor at Life and the author of "Life Photographers: What They Saw" (Bullfinch/Little, Brown, 1998).

Here's some Burrough's spoken word from not long before his death:

Trojan Cleaner – Not Guns But Important

Yeah, I was being a bad boy – I was trying to find a keygen for a piece of software that is no longer sold, supported or available from any source, Sound Forge 6. This is a helpful audio utility, and I had misplaced my installation disk. Regardless, I went searching for a keygen – a piece of software that generates serial numbers – and I paid the price. I downloaded one “keygen” that turned out to be a Trojan, and suddenly, my brand new Core Duo Quad was infected with a nasty damned Trojan program. My anti-virus program, BitDefender, kept the Trojan from completely installing itself, but it couldn’t remove it.

I searched and searched and searched. Finally, I found Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. This program is shareware. It works completely in the freeware form. I downloaded the free version of Anti-Malware, ran it, and it successfully cleaned the Trojan off of my computer.

Folks, this thing worked so well, and cleaned up my computer so well, that I paid the $24.95 to register the program just from simple appreciation for what these folks are doing. I didn’t have to. The freeware version did the job, and I could have slinked away into the darkness with all the goodies without paying a dime. Having suffered Trojan infections before, I know how difficult it is to remove some of these things, and to be honest, $24.95 is more than fair for getting one of these things out of your hair. I would have paid more.

So, if your computer is acting weird, you browser directing you to sites you don’t want to go to, your anti-virus programs going crazy, check out Malwarebytes. These folks deserve our support.

Kentucky Confederate Home In 1936

Ah, the golden era of journalism. There's obviously several things wrong with this picture. This poor bastard has obviously been jerked out of the day room where he was playing Canasta, and obtrusively pasted onto the driveway of the Confederate home. He almost looks like he might jump-up at any moment and try to sell you a bucket of the Colonel's Famous Recipe Chicken.

Let's see: Major fire, 1920. Closed for good in 1934. Date of picture, 1936. An illustration or file pic perhaps?

Maybe the fact that the Herald-Tribune was a short-lived paper that only lasted from 1925-1936, sheds a little light on our problem. At any rate, the archivist didn't catch this one.

[Kentucky Confederate Home, Pewee Valley, Kentucky, 1936]
Description Kentucky Confederate Home stone-pillared entryway in Pewee Valley, Kentucky. Man with white hair in wheelchair in foreground. The Kentucky Confederate Home opened in 1902 to provide care to Confederate Civil War veterans. The main building, laundry, and an infirmary ward were destroyed by fire in 1920. The home closed in 1934 and was eventually razed. The gates from the home are at the Confederate Cemetery in the Pewee Valley Cemetery.
