VHS: Video Cover Art : 1980s to Early 1990s Hardback
by Thomas Hodge
Video cover art is a unique and largely lost artform representing a period of unabashed creativity during the video rental boom of the 1980s to early 1990s.
The art explodes with a succulent, indulgent blend of design, illustration, typography, and hilarious copywriting.
Written and curated by Tom "The Dude Designs" Hodge, poster artist extraordinaire and VHS obsessive, with a foreword by Mondo's Justin Ishmael, this collection contains over 240 full-scale, complete video sleeves in the genres of action, comedy, horror, kids, sci-fi, and thriller films.
It's a world of mustached, muscled men, buxom beauties, big explosions, phallic guns, and nightmare-inducing monsters.
From the sublime to the ridiculous, some are incredible works of art, some are insane, and some capture the tone of the films better than the films themselves.
All are amazing and inspiring works of art that captivate the imagination.
It's like stepping back in time into your local video store!

This is silly as a first project post because I'm fairly certain I'm making myself look dumb.
How does someone learn how to run? Certainly the act is as natural as breathing so I'm not looking for pointers on how to proceed with the actual movement. So for this project I'm looking to accomplish three things –
Things –
- Make it a Habit by Committing to 30 days.
As I have plenty of bad ones (biting nails, twisting hair, saying "slash" in actual conversation…I know, I know) I would love to set a good habit or two. Lifehack, a delightful site for anyone who loves to learn, has a list of 18 helpful suggestions on making habits stick (http://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/18-tricks-to-make-new-habits-stick.html). The ones I will be relying on the most are having a role model (my amazing, wonderful boyfriend who has run a 5k and half marathon in the same day only hours apart) and the 'but' statements.
- Keep a Running Journal.
This will be kept mercifully offline with occasional updates and check ins to keep a tally of times, distances and dates. At the end I will post all (hopefully 30) entries to see the progress if there is any.
- Make each day challenging.
My normal route for a light jog takes me through two parks, by the river, over a bridge, back around the river, over another bridge and back through the parks. I do on occasion get distracted by the beauty of the city lingering on the other side of the river and slow down to a walk or a complete stop to look at it. And in the parks when the baby I'm jogging with the baby he will start flapping like a chased goose and it is easy to stop and pull him out of the carriage so he can watch the other kids playing while I pant for air. For these 30 days unless there is an emergency feeding or diaper change, we will boogie until we get back to the house at the end of the run.
Reasons and Inspiration –
Books and Blogs have been posting about the psychological benefits of running like there is no tomorrow.
The books that make me want to run are Eat and Run – Scott Jurek (the recipes are amazing!) and What I talk about when I talk about Running by Haruki Muakami . I have devoured blogs about new runners, old runners, short distance runners and ultra marathon runniers. There are tons of reasons why I should want to run including, which I'm ashamed to admit, is my vanity and utterly selfish need to feel strong, but the reason why I'm going to learn this came in a very unexpected way.
The Oatmeal is my go to. On the hierarchy of sites I check on a regular basis The Oatmeal tops all with the possible exception of Etsy and Diapers.com. It is my "me time" site. There is none of the pintrest pressure to make the best boards or the consumer driven window shopping for baby products and clothes I will never wear and don't need. The Oatmeal is my very good old friend who makes me laugh.
His comic/blog on running The Terrible and Wonderful Reasons Why I Run Long Distances is in the new Oatmeal style of painful, funny, self deprecating and heart warming. He talks honestly about his want to be lazy, to indulge the inner fat kid. I often find myself having the same want which is why I avoid running and a lot of physical activity. I don't want to, I'm not fit any more.
For this, for me, I will put aside my "I won't" for awhile.
Goal, set, match. Time to run.

MONTPELIER — State officials say they are unable to provide details of any security operations in place after the New York Times reported Tuesday that First Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner are vacationing in Vermont.
The visit to Vermont by the Washington, D.C., power couple remains shrouded in mystery, with their location unknown to the public.
Both Ivanka Trump and Kushner play prominent, senior roles in the administration of Republican President Donald Trump. Ivanka Trump is a special assistant to the president. Kushner, meanwhile, is the director of White House Innovations and has several high-profile tasks, including bringing peace to the Middle East.
Rebecca Kelley, spokeswoman for Republican Gov. Phil Scott, referred questions about state personnel or assets involved in protecting the couple to Vermont State Police spokesman Scott Waterman.
"As a private vacation, we would not comment on the plans of Ms. Trump and Mr. Kushner, as our office would not be involved in the planning or protocols for personal vacations," Kelley said.
She said Scott had no plans to meet with the couple.
"Our understanding is it's a private visit so we haven't been notified directly of their visit or discussed with White House officials," Kelley said.
Waterman also declined to comment, saying VSP policy prevented him from commenting.
"Per internal policy the Vermont State Police does not comment on any ongoing security operations, plans or procedures," Waterman told the Vermont Press Bureau.
The Times reported on the couple's trip in a story about the fallout from the president's remarks Tuesday in which he again cast blame for violence in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend. Many view Ivanka Trump as a moderating voice in her father's administration.
"Mr. Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, urged him to take a more moderate stance, according to two people familiar with the situation. But as with so many other critical moments in Mr. Trump's presidency, the two were on vacation, this time in Vermont," the Times story states.

With the station's foul tempered inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen) on his tail, Hugo becomes entangled in a magical adventure when he encounters a broken robot made by his late father (Jude Law), a mischievious girl (Chloë Moretz, Let Me In) and the elderly owner of a toy shop (Ben Kingsley).Hide

Flicks Review
BY Matt Glasby Flicks Writer
When he's not making quality films, Martin Scorsese has spent an admirable amount of time restoring them. His latest effort, a 1930s-set fantasy taking a Philip Pullman-ish approach to cinema history, combines both passions with aplomb.... More
In a pop-up book Paris beautifully rendered in shimmering CG, Hugo (Asa Butterfield) is a lonely orphan who lives in the walls of a train station, keeping the clocks wound while concealing his presence from gammy-legged inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen). We first meet our hero speeding through the Potter-esque platforms in order to steal parts from an embittered toymaker (Ben Kingsley) and repair the mysterious automaton his inventor father (Jude Law) left him. But could there be a connection between the two?
Well, yes… but it's not Hugo's underwhelming plight that Scorsese's concerned with. Instead, he takes the opportunity to celebrate the pioneers of his beloved medium, revisiting long-forgotten films (1902's A Trip To The Moon) in glorious 3D and remembering long-forsaken film-makers (Georges Méliès, the Lumière Brothers) along the way. At one point Hugo dangles precariously from a clock face like silent comedian Harold Lloyd (and Doc Brown!) before him, but don't be fooled into thinking this is kids' stuff.
Besides a seam of darkness that includes a show-stopping clockwork nightmare and Cohen's ashamed admission: "I was injured in the war – it will never heal…" Hugo is aimed at Scorseses-in-the-making rather than the mass market. It's not an adventure, but a loving tribute to all the broken things, and those who would fix them.Hide

I really enjoyed this movie. I was put off by someone's review as I had wanted to see it but at last I got brave enough to hire it & so glad I did. I enjoyed the story, the effects, & basically the whole movie. Enough to watch it again the next day with my son. Sacha Baron Cohen is well hidden but an enjoyable character & it's nice to have a movie like this nowadays for all to enjoy. How they did what they did with the mechanisms is a great feat. A pleasure to watch & highly recommend it.

Charming! From the old style train and train stations/cafes and clocks, to the stunning scenery and old style clothes, one feels pulled into another world/age. Further capturing the imagination of the viewer with an unusual story, mystery and style. For me, it was a sheer imagery and imaginary delight! Some may find it is a bit drawn out and perhaps a bit lengthy, but I was only too happy to stick around, if not for the sheer escapism! Wonderful for both children and adults alike.
BY filmlover superstar
But after half an hour of it one is desperate for a good plot and great acting, and in these two areas this film is sadly lacking. Surely a director of Scorceses stature must have noticed how wooden his actors were and how dull the storyline was. If this was his homage to film a quick look at a vintage Preston Sturges movie would... More have reinforced that a great script and superb acting far outweigh the most complex special effects. If you see it do the 3D but don't expect more than a very sweet confection.Hide

The movie is breathtaking. Full Review
This is a great director's greatest love story. Full Review
It's a deeply felt piece of work, something which only Scorsese could have brought to the screen. Full Review
Hugo's use of the third dimension is exceptionally well thought out and essential to the film's ability to make a children's vision of the world come to life. Full Review
It's serious, beautiful, wise to the absurdity of life and in the embrace of a piercing longing. Full Review
Hugo will take your breath away. It truly is the stuff that dreams are made of. Full Review
It's a complex fusion of film history and personal history, filled with dazzling embellishments and unabashed sentiment about the glories of cinema. Full Review
A work of great imagination indeed. Full Review
Martin Scorsese's 3D debut is a technical marvel that weds heart to art in its soaring second half. For anyone who loves cinema - who really loves cinema - it can't be missed. Full Review
Martin Scorsese's 3D debut is a technical marvel that weds heart to art in its soaring second half. For anyone who loves cinema - who really loves cinema - it can't be missed. Full Review
In attempting to make his first film for all ages, Martin Scorsese has fashioned one for the ages. Simultaneously classical and modern, populist but also unapologetically personal, Hugo flagrantly defies the mind-numbing quality of most contempo kidpics. Full Review

Today I want to take the time to give a huge shout out to Richard, a client who has been training with me for nine years!!
Richard has come such a long way since beginning his health and fitness journey. He has gone from zero activity to working out with me three times a week, running and rowing on his own, racing the Blitz Duathlon two days in a row, which is crazy in itself, but he managed to improve by over a minute on day two!!
He is always open to new ideas, challenges and will pretty much try anything I tell him to. A quiet guy who shows up, puts in everything he has, and never complains.
Richard I look forward to more years of training to come and watching you crush your goals.

As if nothing mattered in the world...
How many times have we had the chance to ask ourselves,
"What do I want?"
Really. At a deep core level. As if nothing mattered in the world.
"What do I want?"
One that isn't influenced by schooling, by past work history, former loves, expectations, family, society, friends.
If it was all erased and the slate cleaned,
"What do I want?"
No limits.
Give it a go.

The celebratin' is in high gear in THE DARK VAULT OF PUBLIC DOMAIN. So make this yet another Christmas season to remember by joining UNCLE PETE and his trusty sidekick OXNARD for the second half of our annual Christmas tradition this Saturday night with the 1959 classic – SANTA CLAUS. Made entirely in Mexico (where else would you make a movie about Santa Claus), this cinematic gem reveals some of the previously unknown secrets of Santa's workshop and how he manages that annual trip bringing joy to all the world's good girls and boys.
But the devil doesn't like Christmas and joy he sends Pitch, one of his henchmen, to try to foul up things for Santa. It's a classic battle of good versus evil with some science, a little magic and a good dose of fun in UNCLE PETE's favorite Santa Claus movie. Made in 1959 (a good year) and released in the U.S.A. a few years later, it's SANTA CLAUS.
Meanwhile, UNCLE PETE and OXNARD are completing some experiments and observing a few DARK VAULT Christmas traditions at a remote research facility. Then it's back to the DARK VAULT for the annual Boiler Room Christmas Party. Except, the research facility is so remote that UNCLE PETE isn't sure how to get back there. So it's up to the miraculous, infallible sniffer of the mighty OXNARD to lead them home and to the party. Along the way, UNCLE PETE digs up the first Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer cartoon, some slick singing sisters performing Winter Wonderland, a Christmas short with Paul Winchell and Jerry Mahoney and several other Christmas shorts and great toy commercials (including one for Gaylord, the niftiest mechanical hound dog ever!). There's even some vintage footage of UNCLE PETE's family (including his Mom, Dad, and brother) whooping it up in a Christmas of long ago .
So join UNCLE PETE and his best friend OXNARD (in what has become her farewell appearance in a DARK VAULT episode) this Saturday night, December 26, 2015 from 10PM to midnight on Binghamton's channel 4, Sayre/Montrose, PA's channel 17, and Elmira/Hornell/Corning's channel 99 with replays at midnight and 2AM. It's THE DARK VAULT CHRISTMAS SPECIAL – II, featuring SANTA CLAUS. the second half of our special gift to you from UNCLE PETE and OXNARD and everyone in THE DARK VAULT OF PUBLIC DOMAIN!!!

The Avogodo is a minor villainous identity of Robin in the episode of the same name.
Once Robin merges himself and the avocados, he turns into The Avogodo. In this form, Robin tries to replace every crop in the world with avocados. He battles and defeats the Titans but when the Titans make him eat spicy guacamole, Robin gets defeated and changed back to normal, though he still is in his Avogodo form, and apologizes. The Titans later then cage him up at the Tower until he changes back to normal entirely. He then asks them before they leave for a glass of water, which they all gladly handed to him. After the other Titans left, Robin drops an avocodo seed into the glass and creepily chats "soon".

A conversation that Apple Guy and I have often is about the quality of the things we buy. I would rather have a few nice things than a room full of things I wouldn't miss if they were gone.
With that being said, I love myself a good steal.
In my December Birchbox I received a $10 credit to Gap. Sad thing, my hometown lost our Gap this past year #toosoon.
While I was in Houston visiting Apple Guy, I spent some time exploring on my own. One of my biggest accomplishments during this time, besides finally finding two good pairs of jeans and being able to get to my favorite Houston spots WITHOUT SIRI, is this scarf.
Here's the long story short:
Reg. $34.95
On Sale for $27.99
And 60% off makes it $11.30
Minus $10 credit = a whopping $1.30
Which I paid in cash.
All I do is win.
And wear brightly colored scarves in the winter.

Superior fielding earns Australia the Ashes
Australia retained the Ashes at Headingley yesterday while England's batsmen regained their self respect. Left to make 326 to win in 295 minutes, England finished at 230 for four after having made a creditable effort to score the runs.
First Dexter, and then Edrich, Graveney and Barrington went for the Australian bowling, which was done mostly by the quicker men. But the task was always just beyond them. Whenever they seemed poised for an offensive from both ends, as wicket fell; and with England still able to level the series at the Oval, there was no point in their carrying too far the quixotic approach.
In 1948, when Australia gained their famous victory at Leeds by scoring 404 on the last day, the rate they…

One of the issues that came up with the Ebisedian number system was whether to inflect number words for number or not. Well, I've made a final decision. <cue drumroll> :-P The answer is, *both*. The explanation is: There are *two* kinds of number words: those that denote the actual quantity, and those that refer to the numerical entity that represent that quantity. The former, the "quantity nouns", are fully inflected for number--for example, the *quantity*, zero, is _y'i_, which is a nullar noun that does not have a singular/plural form; the *quantity*, 1, is _kei'_, a singular noun without nullar or plural forms; and the *quantity*, 2, is _3jei'_, which is a plural noun that doesn't have a nullar/singular form. And so forth. OTOH, the latter, the "entity nouns", are *singular* nouns that refer to a single instance of the mathematical object representing that quantity. For example, _ivei'_ is a singular noun representing the number 0. Its plural, _hivei'_, denotes multiple instances of the mathematical object "0". Similarly, _ijei'_ is a singular noun denoting the *number* 2. Its nullar form, _my'jei_, refers to the absence of the mathematical object "2". I don't know how to better explain this difference in English; but the Ebisedi certainly draw a distinction between the numbers everybody use (i.e., the quantity nouns) and the weird numbers that only mathematicians use (those abstract entity nouns that happen to represent numerical quantities). ;-) T -- Mediocrity has been pushed to extremes.

|Cliff Kincaid
America's Survival, Inc.
Dear Friend of America's Survival:
The Marxist takeover of the Vatican is the biggest story of our lifetimes. Because of the position and power of the pope, this shocking development will determine the fate of our world. Catholics and non-Catholics alike must take a vital interest in this story. My latest article discusses a new study on high-level Vatican contacts with the world communist movement: Catholic Group Exposes Red Influence in the Vatican.
Tonight on America's Survival TV we discuss the "Culture of Death," once opposed by the church, and how it is gathering momentum in the world today. Our guest is Elizabeth Yore, a Catholic activist and advocate for children who is extremely upset with the "unholy alliance between the Vatican and the United Nations." She focuses her critical attention on Vatican adviser Professor Jeffrey Sachs, a global tax advocate in favor of population control measures. You can watch the presentation she gave in Rome to protest the Vatican's embrace of the "climate change" agenda.Watch tonight LIVE over Roku or the Internet by clicking here at 9:00 pm Easatern.

Hey it was good. Simple graphics and sounds, and an easy to grasp concept. However there was a lot of times where I wasn't quite sure why I wasn't able to move a certain way, or why I wasn't able to get to end point. Not sure if it was explained, or if it had something to do with the light colour, but just got confused at points.
Just something to think about :)

Portrait of Captain Thomas Lee
My recent blogpost, on Irish woodkerne, mentioned a curious portrait from 1594 showing an English army captain set in an Irish landscape, unusually with bare legs. The portrait is of Captain Thomas Lee: it was painted by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger (1561-1636) and is in the Tate Britain.
Lee had been active on English military service in Ireland during a period of great political intrigue, and he was drawn to trouble like a moth to a flame. He was always involved in a conspiracy or convoluted drama of his own making. Although brave and chivalrous at times, he was also accused of terrible cruelty, of theft - even highway robbery - and on many occasions was imprisoned. Although it may look slightly ridiculous to the contemporary viewer, the painting includes complex symbolism which would have been understood by a Renaissance viewer. It was commissioned to show Lee in a good light to Queen Elizabeth I, at a time when he was accused of treason.
Lee (c. 1551 –1601) was of a middling rank and a cousin of Sir Henry Lee, Queen Elizabeth's wealthy champion. In coming to Ireland as an army officer in the 1570s, Thomas Lee's ultimate aim was to secure vast wealth and lands, and he was prepared to do anything to achieve that: when he did not he complained bitterly and loudly. Initially things went well: through marrying an Irish widow he came into some wealth including Castlemartin Co. Kildare. He proved his usefulness to the Crown and was given the role of Provost Marshall of Connaught. He initially advocated negotiating with the Gaelic side, especially the leader Hugh O'Neill (1550-1616), Earl of Tyrone (pictured left). Lee came to consider O'Neill a 'friend' and the charismatic Gaelic leader had a type of hypnotic hold over him. However, in negotiations prior to the outbreak of the Nine Years War (1593 to 1603), he made an enemy of O'Neill and left one meeting lucky to be alive. This dangerous association with O'Neill led to accusations of treason from the English and to restore his reputation Lee later suggested that he assassinate O'Neill (he didn't).
Through his various outlandish schemes, he made enemies on all sides quickly. On one occasion, he and his wife escaped a burning Castlemartin with just the clothes on their backs, an act he said was sabotage "by the means of lewd servants" possibly paid by his enemies. He spectacularly separated from his wife when she 'betrayed' him by informing of his plot to kidnap one of his adversaries. Curiously they remained on good terms and she later testified for him in court. He remarried an English woman in 1595, and he later abandoned her.
Below: The current Castlemartin in Co Kildare. It was rebuilt on the foundations of the old castle that Lee inhabited.
By now he owed the Crown large rents and decried that he was always in poverty, despite risking his life in the service of the Queen. He frequently complained to anyone who listened of being 'slandered' by his opponents. He became increasingly violent and was involved in some cruel acts and murders (most notably that of Rice O'Toole) and was even said to have pulled out the eyes of someone who was under his protection. He had Gaelic chieftains beheaded and had their heads sent to Queen Elizabeth personally. He gained a reputation as a successful, if notorious, assassin and mercenary intent on consolidating the English conquest of Ireland.
Pictured left: Sir Henry Lee (1533-1611), a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I and the cousin of Thomas Lee. Painted by Anthonis Mor (Antonio Moro) in 1568, National Portrait Gallery, London.
After the resounding Irish victory at the Battle of the Yellow Ford in 1598, Lee was imprisoned for treason. After arguing his case, he apologised on his knees before the council and was freed. Myers (1991) sees Lee's quick release as suspicious: someone at the top seemed to be protecting him. Time and time again Lee landed himself in trouble only to be released or spared.
His feud with his arch enemy the earl of Ormond was his undoing in Ireland, and Lee left the country. By 1601, he was back in London where he again faced charges of treason, this time because of his support for his cousin the earl of Essex, who queen Elizabeth I suspected of treachery.
Prior to this Lee had tried to sway the queen's opinion of him: he had commissioned the Gheeraerts portrait to show his loyalty and continued to protest his allegiance in letters to her and written documents.
When the queen ignored his pleas, he became desperate and hatched a bizarre plan: he hoped to 'surprise' her in her privy chamber at bed time and to 'pin' her there until she agreed to sign a warrant absolving the earl of Essex of treason charges (thus helping his own cause). As Lee sweated profusely and watched the door of her chamber in preparation for the assault, he was arrested by her guards who had been informed of his plans by a co-conspirator. In his subsequent trial, he tried to make out that he only meant, "to vex [the Queen] for half an hour, that she might live all the merrier all her life after". It all fell on deaf ears and he was put to death at Tyburn on 14 February 1601.
Decoding the painting:
Lee is depicted in a natural landscape (suggesting truth). Although he wears the visual markers of civilisation, his bare legs are a fantasy evocation of the woodkerne (a type of 'wild' Irish soldier renowned for their bare leggedness to facilitate their progress through the damp bogs of Ireland – see previous blogpost). In Renaissance times such nudity was associated with virtue and honesty. The verse on the painting refers to the Roman soldier Gaius Mucius Scaevola, who stayed true to Rome even when among barbarians. Thus, Lee protests, he is true to the Queen despite being acquainted with the barbarous Irish. The painting is currently in the Tate Britain gallery, London.

Cholera = Dracula
Sligo is a town located on the north west coast of the Republic of Ireland, in the county of the same name, amid a rugged beautiful landscape that famously inspired the poetry of W.B. Yeats. Yet, events in it's history also honed one of literature's most famous fictional characters: Count Dracula.
Sligo had a more than significant role in shaping Count Dracula than has previously been thought. The following is well known: the mother of the author of Dracula, Bram Stoker, was Charlotte Stoker (nee Thornley) born in 1818. In 1832, Sligo was the worst hit town (in all of Ireland or Britain) by a devastating cholera epidemic. In just 6 weeks, an estimated 1,500 townspeople died from the disease. Charlotte's family escaped, but she was forever haunted by what she witnessed. She wrote 'Experiences of the Cholera in Ireland' (1873) a first-hand account of events in Sligo. It is likely that Bram persuaded her to finally put to paper the stories she had told him throughout his childhood.
They were not just 'stories' however. I have found that Charlotte's descriptions tally with what the Sligo historians William G. Wood-Martin and Terrence O'Rorke reported on the epidemic. It also appears that Bram consulted Wood-Martin's account. By analyzing these sources and cross referencing the text of Dracula, it is apparent that Count Dracula himself can be partly read as the personification of Sligo's cholera epidemic.
Cholera is a disease caused by the cholera bacterium (vibrio cholerae), which infects humans usually by ingestion of contaminated drinking water. In 1832 Sligo town's Garavogue river was contaminated by human waste yet was used for drinking water. Untreated, cholera advances within hours to cause death by painful vomiting, diarrhoea and dehydration. The disease still exists – in 2018 Yemen has seen a catastrophic outbreak - but thanks to scientific understanding people are less likely to die from cholera.
Below: A cholera victim drawn in the nineteenth century. Victims died within hours of contracting the disease and typical traits included blue lips and skin, sunken eyes and a deadened appearance. Source: Wellcome Images.
Summer 1832: the 'Beast from the East':
'Asiatic' cholera, from the East, had swept through Europe, laying waste to major urban centres. The belief was that cholera affected port towns and that it travelled by ships. By the summer, Sligo tensely watched as the disease struck Dublin, Belfast, Limerick then the smaller towns: Tuam, Ballinrobe, Castlebar. The people of Sligo thought they had escaped when the terrible news broke: the first victim died on August 11th. Wood-Martin wrote that this event was preceded by an unusual storm, with 'thunder and lightning, accompanied by a close, hot atmosphere'.
August 11th: Dracula and Cholera:
The coming of the dreadful cholera from the East, which people knew offered a horrible death, is mirrored in Dracula. The Count, himself a contagion makes his journey by ship from the East, before his landfall "one of the greatest and suddenness storms […] the weather had been somewhat sultry, but not to any degree uncommon in the month of August" (Chapter 7, Dracula). He claims his first victim on English soil on August 11th . A chilling coincidence or an acknowledgement of Charlotte Stoker's experiences? Other similarities to Count Dracula and cholera abound:
The heroic doctors:
During the Sligo outbreak approximately 50 a day died. Doctors were heroic in their attempts to treat the victims, yet most of Sligo's doctors died from the disease. The scientific community lacked understanding of the causes or treatment of cholera in 1832. In Dracula the heroes of the book are doctors, who have to suspend their medical beliefs in order to understand and vanquish the vampire.
Mist and smells:
Charlotte says it was believed cholera travelled as a mist over land: Count Dracula too can change into a mist. When the epidemic eventually ended there remained a terrible smell in the town for months after. In Dracula places associated with the Count have a rotting smell.
Roman Catholicism as potent adversary:
To replace the deceased doctors and nurses, the Fever Hospital had to employ untrained staff. Charlotte described how they deliberately mistreated, even killed dying patients to free up beds. Father Gilern, a Roman Catholic priest, was so outraged by this he stayed at the hospital armed with a horsewhip to protect patients. Sligo's Catholic clergy were thought miraculously immune to cholera: they suffered few casualties although they were in contact with victims. In Dracula the symbols of Roman Catholicism, such as holy water and the crucifix, are used to fight against vampirism.
The Undead
Charlotte wrote how the burial of victims was done within hours of death in mass graves for fear of the spread of the disease. In haste, many people were buried before they had died. Early in the epidemic, one victim awoke while the undertaker was trying to fit him into the coffin. A man pulled his wife's body from a mass grave for a proper burial, only to discover she was still alive. In Dracula vampires are living while dead, using graves to sleep in. Stoker was a voracious researcher who undertook library research to give his work a factual basis. He took care never to divulge his exact inspirations but made a rare slip in an 1897 interview, admitting that Dracula was inspired by the idea of 'someone being buried before they were fully dead'. His working title of the book had actually been 'The Undead', which the publisher changed to Dracula prior to publication.
The novel is a rich tapestry inspired by various events and people and until now his mother's tales were viewed as merely one aspect of that. But the storm, the date of August 11th, the avenging doctors, Catholic imagery, the undead rising from the dead all bear striking similarities to Sligo's epidemic and Count Dracula himself seems the personification of it. This serves to underline Sligo's remarkable links to the most enduring literary character created, yet we should also take time to remember the victims who succumbed to the epidemic.
This article was originally published in the Sligo Weekender newspaper, August 11th 2018. It is an excerpt of Marion McGarry's paper "Dracula = Cholera" which she will present at the 'How Sligo Shaped Dracula' conference on 10th November 2018, open to all. The conference will feature talks by a panel of experts on Sligo's Cholera epidemic, Bram Stoker and Dracula. Follow for updates: Facebook: SligoBramStokerSociety / Twitter: @SligoStoker

Ireland currently has the lowest forest cover in western Europe, a dramatic contrast to when our environment once was covered in woodland. By the seventeenth century much of this had disappeared, yet until that time Irish forests were the envy of Europe and a marker of Irish identity. The word 'Gael' as in 'Gaelic' is said to be derived from meaning 'forest people' (Koch, 2004) and Irish people were noted their high regard for trees*. That, at the height of the brutal Elizabethan reconquest, a time when Irish identity was actively being supressed, Irish rebels sought refuge and claimed association with the forests is significant. This article will focus on these 'woodkerne', and how their association with the rapidly declining Irish forests ultimately fuelled their demise.
Figure 1: Gallowglass with woodkerne in the background by Marc Grunert
By the late sixteenth century, the term 'woodkerne' came to be used snipingly by the English to mean Native-Irish. At this time, the subject of Ireland consumed the English more than even their wars with Spain or the Netherlands (MacGregor, 2012). Their plans to subdue Ireland was thwarted by the Gaelic lords and rebels who were powerful outside the Pale. They were exemplified by the image of the Irish woodkerne, a type of bogeyman to the Elizabethans (MacGregor, 2012).
Professional mercenaries: Woodkerne had started out as being 'kern': a type of foot soldier available for hire to anyone: English, Irish, whomever paid them to fight. But as the conquest of Ireland accelerated to become more murky and difficult, they were associated with Irish rebellion and became 'woodkerne': feral and animal-like savages who dwelt in the woods and bogs, where many of them were said to hide out.
But kern had not always had a bad image. For centuries they had been known as light infantrymen, their lack of heavy armour meant they were fast and light footed. They were considered excellent for skirmishing and their local knowledge of the land made them valuable scouts. They would launch surprise attacks, harry their prey and then retreat quickly into the woods. Although they would accrue an uncivilised image, many came from relatively privileged parts of Irish society (Cannan, 2011) and considered their profession as proof of status and honour.
Figure 2 Rory Oge, a kern and defeated rebel is shown in the forest with wolves, depicted by John Derricke (1581).
Naked soldiers: Their tactics, armour and skills meant they were highly effective fighters in the boggy, forested landscape of Ireland. Like all Irish soldiers they were renowned for being lightly armed, and lightly dressed. Long established stories that stretch to Antiquity of Irish warriors going into battle 'naked' should be taken to refer to their lack of conventional armour rather than actual nudity. Kern typically wore a heavy cloak over a loose tunic and a short coat. They were barelegged and usually barefoot as footwear would have been a hindrance when navigating the land.
"They return backe to the wood, from whence they came before" (Derricke, 1581).
Forest Fighters: Their services were valued by the English who appreciated their local knowledge and essentially used them as counter-insurgency experts (Cannan, 2011). But the woodkerne switched sides often when the money was right, and when they joined Irish rebellions in the late sixteenth century they became especially despised by the English. The Battle of the Yellow Ford in 1598 saw the Irish earn a powerful victory (Cannan, 2011) and the kern now became known as treacherous 'woodkerne': symbolic of the lack of full conquest in Ireland, always lurking in the woods, awaiting their opportunity to strike. When rebellion broke out in the later sixteenth century they 'came out of the woods' to take part and became 'the archetype of the nightmarishly elusive, indigenous forest fighter' (MacGregor, 2012).
Figure 3: Albrecht Durer, 1521, Irish soldiers.
Anti-fashion: The woodkerne looked suitably menacing too: the archaic way they dressed and wore their hair showed they were immune to 'civilization'. Rather than worry about keeping up with the latest Renaissance fashion the Irish seemed to wear their outmodedness defiantly, as a marker of Irish identity. A great example of this is the 'glib': the on-trend hairstyle amongst the native Irish during the 16th century and much associated with woodkerne.
The glib involved the hair at the side of the head cut short, while at the front and top it grew long, with a long fringe falling over the face (Moriarty, 2013). This had the effect of semi-obscuring the face and, as it was like a horse's mane, added a further 'beastly' demeanour. Two of Renaissance culture's stars were involved in commentary on the 'look' of the kern: William Shakespeare refers to kerns as being 'rug headed' referring to the close-cut, carpet-like aspect of the glib style. Albrecht Dürer drew some from life (looking gloriously shifty and likely muttering in Gaelic) when he having spotted them at a port on the Continent. Because it was a marker for Irish sedition the glib was banned by the English: such Irish identity was associated with savagery and lack of civility and had to be stamped out, nonetheless many woodkerne continued to proudly wear it.
Figure 4: Angus MacBride, Scottish Gallowglass and Irish woodkerne.
Throughout the history of colonization, the narrative goes that the natives are beast-like and unable to govern themselves, providing justification for the colonizer to step in to remedy the situation by providing responsible governance. The vast Irish forests now became targets, as they represented the wildness of a country that must be tamed. They offered shelter to the last vestiges of Irish savagery and became obstacles to colonization; their destruction was beneficial on practical and symbolic levels to the English. The forests were hiding places to woodkerne, and other rebels and miscreants as well as wolves. The forest environment itself could be used as a weapon by them; if hostile forces tried to enter the territory, the practice of 'plashing' or using the woodland cover for ambush, and traps with sharpened branches were used to ruthless effect.

Centre and Right, Fig 5 and 6: Illustrations show Irish kerns by Angus MacBride.
Increasing deforestation along with great number of executions meant many woodkerne went abroad to serve foreign masters. By the seventeenth century around 90% of forests in Ireland were destroyed (Whelan, Aalen, & Stout, 1997). The English saw Irish forests as a timber supply (particularly for shipbuilding) extracting large quantities of wood. Many are quick to point out that some Gaelic chiefs sold off and exploited this natural resource just as enthusiastically, but not for the same security and symbolic reasons as the English did. By the 1650s the woodkerne 'threat' was more or less over and by the mid-eighteenth century the destruction of most the last of the ancient forests of Ireland was complete.
For a while the woodkerne represented what it was to be truly Irish according to foreigners, however negatively. Uncivilised, feral, ultraviolent, scary but also extremely efficient and highly connected to the natural environment, they sought sanctuary from the woodland and turned these vast dark areas into terrifying blurred space and no-go areas for encroaching outsiders. The woodkerne were aware of their terrifying reputation and revelled in it, but their time ran out. When the forests were cleared so too were they, and with them the last vestiges of Irish identity with the ancient woodland.
This blogpost is a from a feature length article written by me on the topic. For more on Irish forests and contemporary woodcraft please see the book See The Wood From The Trees written by me and Dermot O'Donovan, published by Artisan House (2018).

This morning, I wake up early to catch the train to go to Colon, on the Pacific Coast. This train goes along the canal and is very famous, but I heard it was difficult to get a ticket so I arrived at the station at 6 am. I understood quickly why. This train is for workers who live in Panama and go to Colon to work everyday. They is only a wagon for tourists and it's quite small, so places are limited.
Anyway I got on board! Built at the same time as the canal, the rail fell into disrepair but in 1998 the Panama Government partnered with Kansas City Southern, an American-based railway holding company, to create the Panama Canal Railway Company. In 2001 was introduced a passenger service.
It take 1 hour to travel the 76 km and 304 bridges and culverts. A nice trip looking on the Canal and Gatun lake.
On the train, I met Alan and Alan, 2 guys traveling together from UK and Canada. And we decided to take a taxi together to visit Lorenzo fort and Gatun Locks. But here in Panama all the touristic activities are very expensive. They started to ask USD80!! but we arrived to get down to USD30!
Fort San Lorenzo is perched at the mouth of the Rio Chagres on a promontory west of the Canal. Built in 1595, by order of Philip II of Spain, the fort was under constant pirate attack. It was abandoned in 1821 by Spain when Panama became independent. The fort was subsequently used as a Colombian prison, a post office for English mail and a campsite for gold miners en route to California.
Then we went to the Gatun locks, the first one coming from the Caribbean sea and the last one coming from the Pacific. It raises southbound ships 29.5 metres from Caribbean waters to the level of Lago Gatun.
You can have a good view on the locks, better than at the Miraflores locks. We saw the last ship for the day entering the canal and the first ship getting out of the canal. So it was quite interesting.
After a quick lunch, we took a bus back to Panama City for my last night in town. Tomorrow I'm leaving at 8:25 am to go back to Guatemala. Bye bye Panama, I'll be back!

Regan's Gift
I love it, Regan. I absolutely love it. It's going on the tree and when we take it down I will have to decide where to display it then. I am already planning a very special mini for this but I have a feeling that it will take awhile to get this mini completed. It needs to be super special to carry off this swivel clasp! :)
I have to add that she filled my box with goodies! Prima, and paper, and charms, oh my!!

Dear Member,
We have once again been asked by several members to reconsider the Clubs position on the Blue and Non-Colour Fed Canaries, to this end we have decided to hold a vote on this matter, where members can vote either in person, email or post.
The meeting will be held at the home of myself at 211 High Street Easington Lane DH50JT

Basically you are voting on whether the Club should allow classes for Blue and Non-Colour Fed Lizard canaries, to run alongside that of our existing Normal Classes.

Looking forward to seeing you

Book Description
Even in the street the wanderer had heard the dull buzz and roar which now met his ear as a loud medley of noises and voices, rising from hundreds of men who were encamped in the wide space before him—in groups or singly, sleeping and snoring, or quarrelling, eating, talking and singing as they squatted on the ground which was strewn with straw.
Download Description
He hastily put the phial to his mouth, and part of the liquid had passed his lips before Olympius understood the situation and seized his arm. The effect of the deadly fluid was instantly manifest; but Porphyrius had hardly lost consciousness when Apuleius had rushed to his side. The physician had succumbed to the universal panic and resigned himself doggedly to Fate; but as soon as an appeal was made to his medical skill and he heard a cry for help, he had thrown off the wrapper from his head and hastened to the merchant's side to combat the effects of the poison, as clear-headed and decisive as in his best hours by the bed of sickness or in the lecture-room.

What happens when you get heat stroke? - Douglas J. Casa

Immediate and accurate recognition of exertional heat stroke is critical to the athlete's survival. There are many signs and symptoms associated with this life-threatening heat illness; however, there are two main criteria used for diagnosis. These include a rectal temperature greater than 40°C immediately post collapse and central nervous system dysfunction such as irrational behavior, emotional instability, collapse, coma, and dizziness. These two criteria should be used when assessing an athlete suspected of an exertional heat stroke. If a rectal thermometer is not readily available, a core body temperature should not be taken using an alternate, less accurate device. Instead, the medical professional on-site should use other signs and symptoms to aid in diagnosis such as confusion, nausea, vomiting, and rapid pulse, as well as assessment of the environmental conditions, workout intensity, availability of water, and athlete's physical fitness level, to name a few. For more information on recognition of exertional heat stroke, please see this video produced by USA Football and the Korey Stringer Institute.
Quick and effective treatment of exertional heat stroke can save an athlete's life. This heat illness is 100% survivable if treated appropriately. The gold standard for cooling an athlete diagnosed with exertional heat stroke is cold water immersion. This involves placing as much of the athlete's body as possible into a large tub filled with ice cold water. Constant stirring of the water, monitoring of vital signs and rectal temperature, as well as central nervous system assessment all done by a certified medical professional will help to ensure a safe recovery. Upon the athlete's collapse, this treatment of cold water immersion should begin as quickly as possible. There is a 30-minute window of time in which the athlete must begin cooling to ensure their survival. Once cooling has begun, EMS should be activated while cooling continues until their arrival. It is crucial that those treating the athlete always remember: cool first, transport second. For more information on treatment of exertional heat stroke, please see this video.
In order to prevent the occurrence of this serious heat illness, precautions can be taken to help ensure safety. One of the best methods of prevention is heat acclimatization. This is a process of gradual increases in duration and intensity of conditioning workouts prior to the start of a season. This allows the body to develop physiological adaptations to the heat, thus aiding in protection. In addition, a certified medical professional such as an athletic trainer should be present at all workouts. This will ensure that proper guidelines are followed and treatment is readily available. Proper hydration prior to, during, and after exercise can be assessed by observing urine color, calculating your individual sweat rate to determine the amount of fluids needed, and constant awareness of drinking water throughout exercise, especially in extreme environmental conditions. In addition, wearing loose-fitting and absorbent clothing can help sweat to evaporate and thus cool your body. There are many other ways in which exertional heat stroke can be prevented, and a more comprehensive list can be found on the Korey Stringer Institute website.

4 Simple Ways to Save on Your Electricity Bill
Monthly hydro bills are never fun to receive, especially in the hot summer months when we have our air conditioners on blast 24/7. Luckily there are some easy ways to save money without cutting corners.
Here are four of our favourite ways to keep our utility bills under control:
Out with the old, in with the new.
Old appliances, like refrigerators and furnaces, use much more energy than their modern-day counterparts. This is because the past few years have seen a swell in energy efficient appliances, not only is it trendy but it is environmentally responsible. Local governments even go so far as offering tax incentives for these updated units. If you are still holding on to that dryer from the 1960s, it's time to let go. Invest in newer appliances and you will save money in the long run.
Unplug what you don't need.
Unlike our first suggestion, this option involves no money down. Just ensure to unplug the items that aren't in use. This includes phone chargers, TVs, video game consoles, and computers. Anything that can be turned off, should be turned off and unplugged until it's needed again. Appliances that are turned off but still plugged in will still use energy. Think of these items like your kitchen faucet. You don't want it dripping and wasting water while you're away, so make sure it's completely off before you leave the room.
Put the lights down low.
On average, lighting accounts for 12% of a homeowner's utility bills. Cut a chunk out of that percentage by utilizing devices such as dimmer switches and light occupancy sensors. That way you'll still have access to all the light you need, without wasting that energy on empty rooms. Timers are also available for this purpose.
Get a programmable thermostat.
Programmable thermostats work in a similar way in that you'll only be using the energy you absolutely need. If you're away for the day, program that thermostat for a lower temperature, same as when you're sleeping. Each degree can save you a little bit of cash here and there. Over time you could be saving 10-23% each year!
Saving money on your electricity bill doesn't have to get complicated. A few small changes can make a world of difference. If you're curious about how your electrical system could be more efficient and ultimately save you money, contact the experts at Westridge Electric today! 403.995.FLIP (3547)
