Wenonah Historical Society
Barb, Vicki & I will be updating content shortly....
Wenonah Historical Society
In this first paragraph, I should introduce myself, my business, my club, or my reason for building a Web site. I can use the subheadings below to give detailed introductions, or I can just summarize the introduction here. I could also give visitors tips for navigating my site--what's located under each button, for example.
Listing Site Updates
Under one of these subheadings, it's a good idea to list recent updates to my site so that visitors, especially return visitors, can check out the new stuff first. For example, I could list the date and a brief description of the update.
I could also list updated news about my site's topic. For example, if my site were about a particular sport, I could discuss the outcome of a recent competition.
I could also list updated news about my site's topic. For example, if my site were about a particular sport, I could discuss the outcome of a recent competition.
Early Years of the Present Train Station Location
Another idea for my home page's text is notifying visitors about the enhancements I put on my site. For example, I want visitors to sign my guestbook or fill out my survey Form E-mailer to answer questions about my site, my business, or my site's topic.
Need some extra help building your site? Here are some topics that may be helpful.
Customizing and Personalizing My Site
I might not want a large amount of text on my home page if I want to guide visitors toward my other pages. Instead of text, I can add photos or interesting links. One of the first things I would want to do is choose a template that reflects what my site is all about. Colors and themes are a great way to reinforce the message and purpose of my site.
Edward Lincoln Farr: October 25, 1961-August 31, 1924
By: Lou McCall
(Lou McCall & Vicki Braun McCall are the present owners of "Little Grange" at 300 E Mantua Ave)Born in Maine in 1861, he was the son of Lincoln D. Farr ( of Bailey and Farr Manufactory in Camden, previously know as Farr's Oil Cloth Works ) and Hannah Bailey Farr (daughter of a leading oilcloth manufacturer and niece to CM Bailey, a financial magnate and oil cloth manufacturer). He hails from a long line of Quakers and Puritans dating back to Plymouth Rock.
Edward Farr's family's New England heritage were recognized authorities in the oil cloth textile trade from the early 1800's subsequent to the family's pursuit in farming as early pioneers.
In 1875 the family purchased an oil cloth factory in Camden, NJ that they enlarged to further develop the family business. Oil cloth, originally an English developed product where resins and pigments are impregnated on cloth to make waterproof floor and roof coverings (later used for tablecloths and other domestic uses). Oil cloth was first popular in 18th century and was again further developed with the Frederick Walton's patent for linoleum in 1863.
During 1993, my wife Vicki and I visited with Edward Farr's son Wallace to learn more about his father and what it was like to grow up in Wenonah near the turn of the (twentieth) century. During that visit, we also learned about his father's ventures, notably including how the Farr and Bailey Co. would buy clipper ship sails from the captains at eastern seaports, bring them back to their family's plant in Camden where they were stretched and applied with resins and pigments to produce the oilcloth.
Upon the death of his father Lincoln D. Farr, Edward L. Farr took over the operations as President at the Bailey and Farr Manufactory at 7th and Kaighns Ave in Camden, NJ (the long prominent building still stands today as rebuilt after the previous one being lost to fire in 1896. Edward utilized the same Philadelphia architect who he used with his home). Edward's pursuit of the industry's progression from oilcloth to linoleum to further progressing then existing technologies to ultimately produce a linoleum floor covering closer to what we know today. This led to the Company's eventual merger of it's business with Congoleum.
Mr. Farr's influence in Camden NJ's business and as well as his membership in the Union League of Philadelphia, led to a close relationship to the then president of the Pennsylvania RR, whose subsidiary, the West Jersey and Seashore was always looking for new promotion of South Jersey's development. According to son Wallace Farr, it was over a lunch that the President of the RR promised Edward that Wenonah would get the "crown jewel" of stations for his continued assistance in its development.
Edward Farr's industrialist and prominent standing in the Delaware Valley lent to an interesting life involving other interesting friends, including John Wanamaker who later assisted him in decorating his residence in Wenonah.
Edward Farr originally married Mabel Greene. His home at 300 East Mantua Avenue was under construction at the time (where he not surprisingly had oil cloth used as sheathing). During their marriage they mostly remained with Edward Farr's mother, Hanna Farr, at 200 East Mantua Avenue (now a dentist office). Just prior to the completion of the new house a block away, Mabel passed away. Edward Farr eventually moved into the new house at 300 East Mantua Avenue as a widower with five children. Their new home sat on approximately five acres and included a carriage house, a poultry house (Edward exchanged poultry products for milk with neighbor Comey who had cows), a pond, a separate lake and adjoining icehouse (fed annually by ice carved from the lake and dragged by horse up a hill into the nearby icehouse)~ all collectively named by Edward Far "Littlegrange" (after the English home of Edward Fitzgerald, translator of the "Rubiayat of Khayyam"). Littlegrange was started many years prior to it's original completion in the 1890's and often was altered after Edward's trips to Europe where he would find new ideas and products.
After is first wife's passing, Edward met and married Bertha Wallace. Together they had six children together. Edward found the house then needing expansion and added an addition for the growing family, which was completed in 1910. The eleven children, Edward, Walter, Thomas, Wallace, Jean, Bertha, Elizabeth, Edith, Alice, Ruth, and Margaret all grew up in Wenonah, and the house stayed in their family until the death of their mother, Bertha, in 1952.
Son Wallace said his mother's Bertha's wish upon her death was an offer that any of the original children have the opportunity to return to the house in Wenonah with all expenses covered for years. Unfortunately at that time the children were quite mature and dispersed throughout the county, so no takers were found and the house left for the first time left the Farr family in mid 1950's.
Although Edward L Farr passed in 1924 (Wallace stated he thought his Father's love of creamy soups from a neighboring soup factory did not do him well), he left behind a legacy of a life well lived and to be proud of. Besides raising one of the largest of families in Wenonah, he served as President of Farr and Bailey Manufactory, President of Camden Safe Deposit and Trust Co., Chairman of the Board of Cooper Hospital (which he helped found and develop in honor of his first wife), President of the Wenonah Public Library (which he had built and donated to the town), Clerk for the Wenonah Board of Education for 25 years, member of the Union League in Philadelphia, the Cape May Golf Club, and the Corinthian Yacht Club of Cape May. He was often found on the train with his family between his summer home in Cape May and Wenonah. Son Wallace fondly remembered times with his father, including how Edward would like to carry him and the other small children up the stairs to the nursery on Christmas morning (where the tree and presents were) to far away family outings (Edward enjoyed long early motorcar trips or sailing trips to Europe).
Edward Farr shared his fortune with many philanthropic endeavors. He gave funds to needy children to help with education, he helped widows and children including anonymously helping those in financial need find a home in Wenonah, and served as Treasurer and Secretary for the West Jersey orphanage. He was an unassuming man and much of his charitable efforts were done anonymously.
Besides a love of reading, Edward was an avid arborist as evidenced by unique specimens planted around his home in Wenonah. He and his family provided financial support for the development of Wenonah's First Presbyterian Church, along with close friend and neighbor Thomas Synott.
Edward's son Wallace spoke of how his father would retreat to the Union League in Philadelphia to avoid Berth's direction of the semiannual spring and fall total cleanings from top to bottom of Littlegrange.
He and his wife Bertha Wallace Farr (June 3, 1878 - April 5, 1952) and two of Edward's eleven children (Thomas Manchaster Farr 1905-1976, a longtime Camden attorney, and Bertha Farr Benjamin Eggert 1917-1989) are buried in the upper eastern ridge of the Wenonah Cemetery in Mantua, NJ.
During my visit with Edward's son Wallace in 1993, I was asked to trim up the bushes around his father's grave in the Wenonah Cemetery and to mail him a picture as he knew time would not allow him another visit to Wenonah. Of course this was happily done and the least one could do as Edward Farr's spirit for Wenonah, his contributions and love for the town remain evident even today.

2:28 pm
All of the women on that show are overweight except Cynthia. Every damn one of them. Now I know some of you idiots like to use the terms thick, curves in all the right places, big boned but the bottome line is that they are fat and over weight.
December 23rd, 2010
2:30 pm

Nothing personal, but Kandi's music is just not appealing:
• Her voice is UNINSPIRED.
• The song content is UNORIGINAL.
• The music/production is TIRED.
She just needs to stick to songwriting and selling those bubble-gum tracks for that "95.5 The Beat/Q-100″ type music.

Please stop all that how yall feel thing everyone on that show is making money which money makes the world go around. Ladies go away pick on someone on your level.

@ pepper
The blogs are created just so negative people can sign on and spew hatred. The AJC could care less about this show. They know that ignorant haters are going to sign on and spew venom because they have no real lives. It's all just a set up.

3:39 pm
Damn you guys can't show no love. Kandi is very talented. Look what she did for Kim's non singing azz….. everybody can't do that. We need to stop tearing one another down. That is why we (as a people can't get any where now). She may be able to sing but she is doing something she loves to do….

"Look what she did for Kim's non singing azz….. everybody can't do that."
Yeah right, and half the artist out now have no talent and somebody is pushing all this hot mess forward. Just because there in the music bizz does not mean they are blessed with some special ability to make people ultra talented (see antwan dodson for that)….people are so clueless nowadays they'll take anything nowadays and call it talent..

7:32 pm
Kandi don't have to sing or act or do anything in particular. just stand there (in some clingy jeans) and be fine. she's one hot woman. Kandi… I'm still waiting!
December 23rd, 2010
9:10 pm
Who is that in the photo??? She looks nothing like Kandi.
December 23rd, 2010
10:00 pm
This is a joke right? First the tv show is a joke and now a cd. Go do something meaningful. This woman is so full of herself.
December 23rd, 2010
11:27 pm
I think Kandi IS talented and she can sing. I think she's about the most grounded on the show. She's had and kept her house since she was 19 and you don't hear a lot of mess about her. You can tell she's not into all the drama on RHOA. Keep making that moolah guuurrrl. :-0)
December 24th, 2010
12:19 am
i am shocked at the stupidity everyone has here on these posts. all you are, are low life nobodies, who are jealous, hate comes from jealousy, its obvious from someone like me who lived herem and now lives in Hollywood, and knows this woman. Get a life, she has amazing talent, and will succeed. hell she has always succeeded. I know her, and she is as real and sweet. she is a business woman, and has a good head on her shoulder.
Later Losers!

December 25th, 2010
1:30 am
Kandi, do not pay any attention to Wendy Williams. Reason being is that she made on comment on her show when NeNe appeared and said that she do not like you in the show. Wendy Williams is just messy because that is her character. Everyone don't need to be HARD.

'hopefully that doesn't mean that Wrathion can't meet a nice (non-crazy) black dragon girl and settle down'
I'm pretty sure that is entirely out of the question, considering his status as the uniquely uncorrupted example of black dragonhood.
On the other hand, dracogenesis is pretty weird in Warcraft lore. Both Alexstrasza and Wrathion's mother were compelled to produce eggs without any apparent interference from any male dragons.... and yet dragons are obviously (or at least, apparently) gendered, and the aspects have consorts, and... yeah, that's weird.

August 6th — In his recent book, The Economics of Innocent Fraud, John Kenneth Galbraith surveys a number of false beliefs that are being perpetuated among the American people about how our society operates: innocent (and sometimes not-so-innocent) frauds. There is perhaps no greater fraud being committed presently—and none in which the stakes are so high—as the fraud being perpetrated regarding government insolvency and Social Security. President Bush uses the word "bankruptcy†continuously. And the opposition agrees there is a solvency issue, questioning only what to do about it.
Fortunately, there is a powerful voice on our side that takes exception to the notion of government insolvency, and that is none other than the Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The following is from a transcript of a recent interview with Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan:
For a long time we have been saying there is no solvency issue (see C-FEPS Policy Note 99/02 and the other papers cited in the bibliography at the end of this report). Now with the support of the Fed Chairman, maybe we can gain some traction.
Let us briefly review, operationally, government spending and taxing. When government spends it credits member bank accounts. For example, imagine you turn on your computer, log in to your bank account, and see a balance of $1,000 while waiting for your $1,000 Social Security payment to hit. Suddenly the $1,000 changes to $2,000. What did the government do to make that payment? It did not hammer a gold coin into a wire connected to your account. It did not somehow take someone's taxes and give them to you. All it did was change a number on a computer screen. This process is operationally independent of, and not operationally constrained by, tax collections or borrowing.
That is what Chairman Greenspan was telling us: constraints on government payment can only be self-imposed.
And what happens when government taxes? If your computer showed a $2,000 balance, and you sent a check for $1,000 to the government for your tax payment, your balance would soon change to $1,000. That is all—the government changed your number downward. It did not "get†anything from you. Nothing jumped out of the government computer into a box to be spent later. Yes, they "account†for it by putting information in an account they may call a "trust fund,†but this is "accountingâ€â€"after the fact record-keeping—and has no operational impact on government's ability to later credit any account (i.e., spend!).
Ever wonder what happens if you pay your taxes in actual=2 0cash? The government shreds it. What if you lend to the government via buying its bonds with actual cash? Yes, the government shreds the cash. Obviously, the government doesn't actually need your "funds†per se for further operational purpose.
Put another way, Congress ALWAYS can decide to make Social Security payments, previous taxing or spending not withstanding, and, operationally, the Fed can ALWAYS process whatever payments Congress makes. This process is not revenue constrained. Operationally, collecting taxes or borrowing has no operational connection to spending. Solvency is not an issue. Involuntary government bankruptcy has no application whatsoever! Yet "everyone†agrees—in all innocence—that there is a solvency problem, and that it is just a matter of when. Everyone, that is, except us and Chairman Greenspan, and hopefully now you, the reader, as well!
So if solvency is a non-issue, what are the issues? Inflation, for one. Perhaps future spending will drive up future prices. Fine! How much? What are the projections? No one has even attempted this exercise. Well, it is about time they did, so decisions can be made on the relevant facts.
The other issue is how much GDP we want seniors to consume. If we want them to consume more, we can award them larger checks, and vice versa. And we can do this in any year. Yes, it is that simple. It is purely a political question and not one of "finance.â€
If we do want seniors to participate in the future profitability of corporate America, one option (currently not on the table) is to simply index their future Social Security checks to the stock market or any other indicator we select—such as worker productivity or inflation, whatever that might mean.
Remember, the government imposes a 30% corporate income tax, which is at least as good as owning 30% of all the equity, and has at least that same present value. If the government wants to take a larger or smaller bite from corporate profits, all it has to do is alter that tax—it has the direct pipe. After all, equity is nothing more than a share of corporate profits. Indexation would give the same results as private accounts, without all the transactional expense and disruption.
Now on to the alleged "deficit issue†of the private accounts plan. The answer first—it's a non-issue. Note that the obligation to pay Social Security benefits is functionally very much the same as having a government bond outstanding—it is a government promise to make future payments. So when the plan is enacted the reduction of future government payments is substantially offset†by future government payments via the new bonds issued. And the funds to buy those new bonds come (indirectly) from the reductions in the Social Security tax payments—to the penny. The process is circular. Think of it this way. You get a $100 reduction of your Social Security tax payment. You buy $100 of equities. The person who sold the equities to you has your $100 and buys the new government bonds. The government has new bonds outstanding to him or her, but reduced Social Security obligations to you with a present value of about $100. Bottom line: not much has changed. One person has used his or her $100 Social Security tax savings to buy equities and has given up about $100 worth of future Social Security benefits (some might argue how much more or less than $100 is given up, but the point remains). The other person sold the equity and used that $100 to buy the new government bonds. Again, very little has changed at the macro level. Close analysis of the "pieces†reveals this program is nothing but a "wheel spin.â€
Never has so much been said by so many about a non-issue. It is a clear case of "innocent fraud.†And what has been left out? Back to Chairman Greenspan's interview—what are we doing about increasing future output? Certainly nothing in the proposed private account plan. So if we are going to take real action, that is the area of attack. Make s ure we do what we can to make the real investments necessary for tomorrow's needs, and the first place to start for very long term real gains is education. Our kids will need the smarts when the time comes to deal with the problems at hand.

Wonder what this does to sales? And fraud as well?
And enforcement costs would be very high if they try to do that.
Also, I'd guess people like Larry don't drive all that much, so the fuel savings are likely over estimated.

Designer Founders is a book series that interviews designers about the path they took to create tech startups. Our first edition features the designers who founded Pinterest, Behance, fuseproject, Slideshare, and theicebreak.
Our goal is for designers around the world to find inspiration in role models who've taken the journey from designer to founder.
PDF, Kindle, Nook, and iPad versions available.
Meet a few of our Designer Founders in Book #1
Evan Sharp, Pinterest
"Work with really nice people whose goal it is to make things and not to take things. Because there are people out there who just want to take things."
While in architecture school in 2009, Evan Sharp started Pinterest with two friends as a fun side project. He later left Facebook to lead the design and front-end engineering of Pinterest full time. Their website and mobile app enables users to collect and share their favorite images. In large part due to its simplicity and beautiful execution, Pinterest has quickly skyrocketed to success with more than 30 million users globally and a $1.5 billion valuation.Read this interview
Yves Behar, fuseproject
"The work of design is not to skin stuff. It's not to put a nice dumb box around whatever is inside. It's the whole conception. Design should deliver the whole ecosystem."
Yves Behar, an industrial designer from Switzerland, came to Silicon Valley during a time of immense technological innovation and had a front row seat at the subsequent dotcom bubble. Over the past decade, his design studio fuseproject has produced a remarkable track record of products and brands as diverse as the Herman Miller SAYL task chair, the XO laptop for One Laptop per Child, Jawbone and its line of headsets and Jambox, and recently Ouya and its video game console. Fuseproject has also pioneered a unique approach to working with startups through a design venture business model.Read this interview
Christina Brodbeck, theicebreak
"What I really fell in love with is doing design that has a purpose beyond just being pretty, something that could instruct people."
Christina Brodbeck came to Silicon Valley determined to make her way in tech. With a master's degree in instructional technologies and multimedia design, she worked her way up from a job at a bookstore to become a founding team member at YouTube. She was their first UI designer, responsible for the majority of the site's early design, and then led YouTube's mobile design. She has since co-founded theicebreak, an app and website that helps couples enjoy and make the most of their relationship.Read this interview
Rashmi Sinha, Slideshare
"I understand what's possible with the technology so I can push the envelope. And I also understand what people want and how to use design to give them that."
After growing up in India and earning a PhD in psychology, Rashmi Sinha went to UC Berkeley for a postdoc where she switched her focus to human-computer interaction. She then left academia to start her own user-experience consultancy and developed MindCanvas, a game-like tool for user research. Simultaneously, Rashmi and her husband built SlideShare, a site for people to share presentations online, in just six months. Since its launch in 2006, more than 9 million presentations have been uploaded to SlideShare, helping professionals connect through content. LinkedIn acquired SlideShare for over $100 million in 2012.Read this interview

What is Google Poetics?
This blog started collecting Google Poems on October 2012 and is run by its founder Sampsa Nuotio.
Google Poetics is born when Google autocomplete suggestions are viewed as poems.
Google's algorithm offers searches after just a few keystrokes when typing in the search box, in an attempt to predict what the user wants to type. The combination of these suggestions can be funny, absurd, dadaistic - and sometimes even deeply moving.
There is, however, more to these poems than just the occasional chuckle. The Google autocomplete suggestions are based on previous searches by actual people all around the world. In the cold blue glow of their computer screens, they ask "why am I alone" and "why do fat girls have high standards". They wonder how to roll a joint and whether it is too early to say "I love you". They seek information on ninjas, cannibals, and Rihanna, and sometimes they just ask "am I better off dead?"
Despite the seemingly open nature of Western society, forbidden questions and thoughts still remain. When faced with these issues, people do not reach out to one another, instead they turn to Google in the privacy of their own homes. The all-knowing search engine accepts and embraces these questions and tangles them with popular song lyrics, book titles and names of celebrities: often with hilarious results.
Obviously Google is not Shakespeare, Whitman or Dickinson - it can not illuminate the unknown. But it does reveal our inner workings, our fears and prejudices, secrets and shames, the hope and longing of a modern individual.
This is why Google Poetics is important.

Italian Mayor's 'No Drinking' Rules for 'Jersey Shore' Cast Will Ruin the Show
Season 4 of Jersey Shore is set to start filming in good ol' Italy any day now. I don't know about you, but I'm pumped to see the guidos and guidettes in their "homeland." However, it seems as if Matteo Renzi, mayor of Florence, isn't exactly ecstatic about the guid-tastic crew coming to his neck of the woods.
In fact, he's made a list of rules that The Situation and gang will have to follow while they're in his hood. The first rule: The cast will not be filmed in bars and clubs that serve alcohol.
Um, can you say Lame-sy Shore!?
The other rules, as reported by the New York Post, include:
- The show will not be filmed to promote Florence as a drinking town.
- The show should be filmed in such a way that promotes Italy (not Americans visiting Italy) and features its culture and delicious eats.
- The cast will not be filmed drinking in public.
- The show cannot film in the city's historic buildings.
Ermmmm ... what the hell are they all gonna do during their stay across the pond? It's sad but true, so many of us tune in on Thursday nights to watch the crew's hilarious drunk antics. Hanging around their European bungalow getting wasted with one another can be entertaining for only so long. What's gonna make us keep tuning in if we can't watch Snooki drunkenly wander the cobblestone streets or Vinny avoiding grenades at the local watering hole?
If any member of the cast fails to abide by the mayor's guidelines, then he warns that they'll be arrested. Really, I can only hypothesize what this snore of a season will entail if all goes "to plan":
Snooki will take the time to focus on her writing skills. A Shore Thing! did so well on The New York Times best-sellers list that the pint-sized guidette has to be looking to put pen to paper again. And what better inspiration than Italian culture, right?
Ronnie will be filmed walking Italian beaches with Vinny in an effort to continuously promote his Xenadrine campaign. At least for this batch of promos, they'll have something much more prettier and enjoyable to focus on than Ron's horrible acting skills.
Since Pauly D. won't be allowed to film in bars that serve alcohol (aka all of them) -- the MTV crew will follow him as he takes on a new business venture: The children's party circuit. JWoww will be his sidekick and the duo will throw Jersey Shore-themed birthday parties in quaint Italian neighborhoods complete with mocktails and bumpin' tunes.
Just because they can't film in clubs doesn't mean they won't go to clubs. Since the camera won't catch Sammy doing the nasty with the Italian Stallions, we'll see Ron and her fighting and have no clue what's going on. It'll become like a game! The guess-how-many-men-sam-hooked-up-with-last-night-off-camera game!
And that leaves us with The Situation and Deena. We saw the two get a little flirty at the beginning of Season 3, and I have a theory they'll be Italy's HOT couple. (By hot, I mean interesting and over-sexed, not attractive, of course.) Producers will encourage the couple to venture out into Italy's countryside, and film them in between smush sessions.
Doesn't sound as interesting as Seaside Heights, right? Can you imagine a Jersey Shore without the alcohol and bar scenes?

Jersey Shore is stupid, pathetic, disgusting and all around trash. Most of the people I know who watch it are too.
I hope no one wants to watch this season so they will cancel the crap.

GigantaursMommyApril 20, 2011 at 1:15 PM
I can't blame the mayor of Florence at all. Italy is a country with a rich culture and the last thing they want is Jersey Shore to effect the kind of tourists come to their country. As it is now I imagine most people go to Italy to sample the cuisine, responsibly taste some of the native wines, and explore some of the beautiful historical buildings they have after Jersey Shore got done there they'd have a bunch of idiots going there to get smashed and try to sleep with as many of the natives as possible. Maybe the Mayors rules will keep JS from even doing a season there, hopefully they'll change their mind and keep those idiots stateside.

Crime Briefs from the Daily Journal - Burlingame police warn of auto break-ins
Restaurant patrons who leave valuables such as purses, briefcases, laptop bags or electronic items are increasingly becoming the victims of crimes, the Burlingame Police Department warned yesterday. During the past several months, police are reporting that the number of auto burglaries is on the rise in the city and other areas of San Mateo County. The criminals often walk between vehicles in parking lots and smash window to grab something inside or in the trunk, police reported. The crimes usually occur during busy lunch and dinner hours. Anyone with any information about these crimes is asked to call Inspector Kevin Kashiwahara of the Burlingame Police Department's Investigation Unit
Last week the window of our new car parked on Primrose was smashed and a laptop gently removed. Perhaps it is now on Ebay?!

From Jerk to Justice League: How to be a leader, not a whiner? (Grad School Style)
November 13, 2012
From Jerk to Justice League: How to be a leader, not a whiner?
Last night, the boyfriend mentioned that he's always felt like his father went through life (and goes through life) looking for a fight. His father is generally a good guy, but he doesn't appear to be the most adaptable snowflake I've met on life's bumpy road. I'd describe it as being cranky about life at times. No big deal. Who isn't cranky sometimes?
But then boyfriend said he feels the same way.
He feels like the world is out to get him and he's spoiling for a fight. He takes slights and inconveniences personally, and he doesn't mask it when he's bothered. My opinion: he appears rude when he does it, and maybe overly aggressive. I think (and he agrees) that he doesn't roll with life's small punches because he doesn't know what to do about the central problem in his life right now.
He's a grad student in science and incredibly stressed by the neverending push to do more, faster, push further out of his comfort zone, and generally keep up with the testosterone-filled, family-comes-last, political jockeying in his lab. When he was talking about this, he mentioned that he feels alone in his desperation--why doesn't anybody else push back against the unhealthy culture? Is he the only one who feels he deserves better than this? And when he does push back, why doesn't anyone respect him for it?
I argued that lots of people push back when they find themselves faced with situations like his, but they don't fight alone, and they don't transfer their frustration to petty things. They fight back socially. They join movements or form partnerships. They shine a light on the problem in a way that doesn't alienate others and instead creates a rallying point.
He's interested by that, but I'm not sure he's sold on the idea of lending his anger and energy toward something bigger than himself. And more than that, he doesn't know how. I've never had that kind of chip on my shoulder, and I'm not sure what to tell him.
The question(s), from general to specific:
Big picture, have you ever taken this kind of anger against personal injustice and turned it into something bigger? Did you lend your support to a cause? What kind of thought process took you from feeling wronged to finding a constructive focus?
Small picture, do you know of any groups that rally around grad student work-life issues? Who can he join?
BF reads articles about work-life balance and laments that it's viewed as women-only issue. There's a sadly sizable group of people who say "suck it up, or quit science" in response to his concerns. Or they have the attitude of "You should live to work, and want to live to work. What's wrong with you?"
I believe that it's possible to for people in general, and him specifically to find a balanced life in which he can have the profession of scientist. But I'm short on examples of scientists who exhibit a life-balance that he'd find worth looking forward to--a life that includes family and time that isn't filled with work-obsession. Feel free to throw in encouraging words on that matter if you have them.

It really depends on the science.
I live around the corner from the CDC and you can best believe that those folks are impassioned by their work, and enjoy a good work/life balance in the bargain.
I know someone who is a chemist and she works with flavors (for tobacco, so gross) but she loves her job and her family and hasn't compromised a thing.
I think that if your BF looks to government/private sector jobs, rather than academic, that a lot of that stress and pressure will disappear. For some reason Academia is so cut throat and political and nasty. Kissenger was right when he said, "University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small."
Not to say that there isn't stress in Government and the Private Sector, but it's different and it's not so damn personal.

It's up to him. I am in academia and realize that stresses like this are a very real thing. However, the people who manage to rise above them find their own niche or way of dealing and just run with it.
The point is that the world will be like this regardless of what you do, and your own reactions are all you can change.
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got came from my aunt, who is a psychologist. She was visiting and I was yammering on and on about how my parents were unfair, they give my brother a ton of leeway and were super hard on me, I had such a hard time, yada yada.
She looked me in the eye and said, "Okay. Let's assume that they really DO love him more than they love you. What the fuck are you going to do about that?"
There's actually a lot of freedom in giving up control to the universe. But there's also a lot of freedom in picking your battles -- which is to say, in your/his situation, finding the most efficient way to get to where he wants to be. Jobs focusing on education more than research (e.g. at a liberal arts college instead of an R1), jobs in the private sector, jobs adjacent to the science (e.g. being a science communicator or research administrator instead of the researcher) may all have an impact.
But if he has decided that his life is about being a fighter -- which, for many people, is their true lifelong hobby -- that may not change. My crazy mother, for example, doesn't use a microwave because what would she do with that free time? Doing things, even complaining, gives people purpose.
I refer to this as "Marge Simpson in Cypress Creek." When she has nothing to do, she has to find SOMETHING else.
And what happens then?????
So now YOU need to pick your battles. What's the most important thing to him: the success and satisfaction he finds, or knowing that he keeps fighting? Because until the latter becomes too unbearable, which it very well may not, it's not going to change.

The question(s), from general to specific:
Big picture, have you ever taken this kind of anger against personal injustice and turned it into something bigger? Did you lend your support to a cause? What kind of thought process took you from feeling wronged to finding a constructive focus?
I felt this kind of anger all the time. Then I realized I was constantly going around with my shoulders up around my ears and my hands balled into fists, wasting my energy at defending myself against perceived injustice.
Then I got therapy.
I don't know about your plan to cultivate the anger into something "useful." I have a lot more energy now, but I spend it on my art, my husband, and the people I love--not social justice causes. I had to learn how to let go of that anger to be a happy, functioning person. It really wasn't useful--it was toxic, and it poisoned many different corners of my life.
I think this is something your boyfriend should work out with a therapist, not a significant other.

Well, he's not imagining things. Science and the university can be exactly like that, and PIs are sometimes not shy as using it as a weapon. Sad but true story: once, as a grad student, I said I couldn't come in on the weekend as I was going away with my girlfriend, the first weekend I'd taken off in 6 months. The response: "Aren't you interested in your work?"
(And here I draw a line: "being passionate" is often used as a stick in academia, to get you to do more. But I don't believe it should mean neglecting your own health or your family. Neither do I believe that doubling your hours means that you double output.)
So, it's true. And tragically, your boyfriend is at the most powerless part of his career, where people can push him around the most and he has the least flexibility.
On the positive side:
* My life got a lot better as soon as I realised there was a never ending list of things that could be done. I stopped taking home work. I try to stick to regular hours. If there's a genuine emergency, I front up, but I refuse to work in a continual state of emergency. It doesn't seem to have lost me any opportunities and my mental and physical health is much better. It will be harder for him as a grad student, but I think there's stil space there. * Getting organised and focused about work - doing what absolutely has to be done - helps with the above.
* There are many senior scientists who work long hours and at home ... and many that don't. But no one wants to hear the story of those who worked 9 to 5. I knew a few PhD candidates who did strict 9-to-5, 5 days a week and they were a lot more relaxed and together than me.
* There are some organisations and movements to improve the conditions and careers of postdocs and students. NIH had one, you shoudl be able to find pointer in the pages of Higher Education and the Chronicle. Maybe he can contribute or join in.
* Encourage your BF to get some physical exercise regularly. It will help with the anger and tension.

Feel free to throw in encouraging words on that matter if you have them.
I don't really have any in academia. There are para-scientific positions you can find-- many of which pay better than academia and PI-related positions in research -- that have better work/life balance. And there is work in contract-research organizations that handle this better. But real life in academia involves spending a lot of time reading journal articles to catch up with the latest work, writing grant proposals and hoping you make the top-10%-cutoff, and competing against PIs who think and talk about their work
all the time
Big picture, have you ever taken this kind of anger against personal injustice and turned it into something bigger?
The world is not like a feel-good movie where you stand up to the authority and come out on top. It's much more passive aggressive than that: you take flak from your advisor and supervisors, and you come back with good work done on your own terms that allows you to get out, done with your degree, and away from those people and on to the next job. As outlier says, it improves when you figure out how to do your work on your own terms.

Two notes: (1) he's in physics, if that matters. and (2) He wants to be a scientist, maybe working for the government or industry. He has no desire to stay in the academic world once he's got his three letters.

In that case, I can say that "it gets better." Graduate school is a test of endurance. It weeds out the people who say, "I'm not going to put up with this crap anymore!" in favor of the people who don't let the crap "get" to them. As an aside, the government agencies that do physics research seem to have better quality of life than the NIH, for example.

One of the guys in my lab (I'm an undergrad so I can't comment personally) copes with the frustration of academia by setting strict boundaries: he works 9-5 and leaves lab when his wife finishes work at her lab, he doesn't take work home with him, he spends time with his wife and friends, he tries not to take experimental failures personally (our project is a money sink with very few results so far because we're working with an uncommon organism), and he ultimately has decided that his health and happiness is worth taking longer to finish his degree.
It also helps that my lab is super chill - seriously, they take mornings off to go play golf, we have weekly lab meetings to collaborate on others' projects, everyone knows about everyone's family and talks/asks about them all the time - and the atmosphere is not at all hypercompetitive (maybe because we have a woman as our PI?). It's a university-affiliated semi-private lab, for the record, and it seems to be much less toxic than pure academia... so there are decent labs out there!
I'm not sure if this is up his alley, but I read an interesting paper lately on the toxicity of normative masculinity and how that plays into men's insecurities, anger, and feelings of persecution.
Here's the link

The Evangelical Cemetery in Vilnius, Lithuania was established in early 19th century. As the city grew, there was a need to move the old Lutheran cemetery outside the city walls. The old cemetery, used from 1550s, was located in land donated by the Radziwiłł family on Liejyklos Street. Before the old cemetery was closed Vilnius University professor made an inventory of interesting tombstones. The list was acquired by Eustachy Tyszkiewicz and was stored in the Museum of Antiquities that he founded.
Since 1830 the cemetery was also used by Calvinists, who ran out of space in their old cemetery on Pylimo Street. The new cemetery was surrounded by a brick wall. It also had a shelter for the poor. The community built a brick chapel and incorporated some of the tombstones from the old cemetery. The white neo-classical chapel was equipped with bells and pipe organ.
In 1958 the cemetery was closed and in 1974 it was demolished and turned into a park by the Soviet authorities. The only remaining evidence of a cemetery is the Classical mausoleum for Jan Fryderyk Niszkowski, a prominent surgeon. The great chapel was also demolished. In its place Palace of Marriages (Lithuanian: Santuokų rūmai) was built.

Letter from Bangkok: Thai Indies Flourish, and Face New Censorship
Directors Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Thunska Pansittivorakul dazzle international audiences, but find themselves less popular at homeFebruary 18th, 2008 | Denise Burrell-Stinson
The 5th Bangkok Experimental Film Festival kicks off in March at a time when the work of Thai directors such as Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Thunska Pansittivorakul is gaining worldwide acclaim. But even as Thai independent cinema reaches a creative pinnacle, it finds itself bumping up against serious new censorship at home. The Independent's Denise Burrell-Stinson recently travelled to Southeast Asia, and files this report. You can view a clip from Sud pralad (Tropical Malady), and trailers for Sud sanaeha (Blissfully Yours) and Sang sattawat (Syndromes and a Century), Weerasethakul's censored film, on our Watch page.
Mainstream Thai cinema is coming up on the international radar lately. In 2003, Francis Ford Coppola spearheaded the international release of Suriyothai, one of the highest grossing Thai films ever when it was first released in that country. It recalls the heroic exploits of a 16th Thai queen defending her country against Burmese invasion.

The Doc Doctor's Anatomy of a Film: "51 Birch Street"
Doug Block talks about the making of his hit documentary about his parents' marriageFebruary 10th, 2008 | Fernanda Rossi
The Independent's Documentary Doctor, Fernanda Rossi, looks at how filmmaker Doug Block made 51 Birch Street, a documentary about his parents' mercurial relationship. The film was a critical and commercial success (watch the trailer here), enjoying theatrical distribution for nine months in 60 cities worldwide. But like all filmmakers, Block had his struggles. Among them: sound quality. Also, check out the Doc Doctor's recent "Anatomy" columns on Divan and Rock and a Heart Place.
About this new column: Many filmmakers ponder in anguish, How do other people—celebrated people—do it? Am I taking too long to make this documentary? Does everybody spend as much money as I am spending, or am I spending too little? And when filmmakers share their lessons learned in interviews in the glossy trade magazines, their tales seem to follow the arc of otherworldy heroes rather than real documentary makers, i.e. human beings like you and me. So starting this month, the Doc Doctor decided to go out into the world (this real world) of filmmakers who are successful and find out how they made it. Each month, her "anatomy" will be a chance to learn from their hits and misses in real life examples. —Fernanda Rossi, story consultant a.k.a. the Documentary Doctor

Filling the niche of the all-day option, the Serbian Beograd Café morphs from Euro coffeehouse by day to restaurant and bar by night, with a small grocery attached. Hit it late, when traditional tunes propel small clusters of Serbs to suck down big bottles of smooth, crisp Jelen beer ($5). We opt for a flaky, cheese-stuffed pastry called burek ($6.95) and grilled sausage links known as cevapcici ($6).
At Paul Kahan's taco bar, there's no choosing between the cheap whiskey shots and the tortillas packed with crisp, beer-battered tilapia.
Old Town Social has the most ambitious charcuterie program in Chicago and served as the launching board for one of Chicago's most talented young chefs, Jared Van Camp.
Metal rages, waits are oppressive, and the beastly burgers, stacked with everything from chorizo to pulled pork, have a reputation so big Lady Gaga ate one during her Monster Ball tour.
The best mussels, best frites and best grilled sandwiches at any bar in Chicago team with an extraordinary beer selection. Photo: Nathan Kirkman
Though meat and cheese universally fuel boozing, at Karolinka Club it's all about the carbs. This aging South Side Polish dive plugs along thanks to the power of pierogi ($8/dozen), plump little pockets of kraut and mushroom or juicy ground beef, made to order and sautéed in butter with nubs of bacon. Photo: Ashlee Rezin
There's always room on the dance floor when the DJ drops your favorite Gaga or Rihanna—plus an always-open pool table in the mellower bar room, where a handful of loyal regulars take down the classic Polish pizza bread ($10), a massive split French loaf topped with tomato sauce, gobs of mozzarella and a signature squirt of ketchup. Photo: Ashlee Rezin
The Meatballs of Jersey Shore have Karma; the Bulgarians of Chicago have Avant Garde, a slick, dark den of a bar on a northern stretch of Harlem Avenue. On a recent Friday night, expats nibble cured meats—cuminy lukanka, air-cured beef pasturma (both part of an assorted platter, $8–$14)—and shout along to traditional anthems of love, loss and national pride between bites.
A very basic, kind of divey beer joint with unexpectedly good food, like a greasy (in a good way), spicy sausage-and-peppers sandwich ($7). More Italian-American than Italian, really. Know how you can tell? It doesn't matter what time you eat this thing—you will soon need a nap. Photo: Ashlee Rezin
At Three Aces, where chef Matt Troost puts out food that ranges from popcorn with housemade hot sauce ($2) and thin pizzas ($10–$12) to giant, made-for-two bowls of the Tuscan stew ribollita, his version topped with milk-braised pork ($24), the bartenders have a certain…aesthetic. They look as if they'd rather be punching you in an alley than getting your drink order. But ask for a cocktail, and they put together serious tipples like the Debaser ($9), made of Small's gin, Campari, lemon, orange bitters and the smile of a tough bartender.
Italians eat a little lighter in the evening, and Disotto follows suit with small plates like anchovy-ricotta-tomato bruschetta ($8) and squares of egg-enclosed toast, rich with truffle oil ($9). And since you skipped wine at lunch, and this bar, under Francesca's on Chestnut, is really a wine cellar, a bottle or two off the 100-strong list wouldn't be out of line.
Eschewing burgers? Rejecting fried food? There's the sophisticated and winecentric minibar. It's the sister bar to D.S. Tequila, actually, so it's no surprise the food is good. But if D.S. is Rosie, minibar is Oprah—it's all sleek and shiny. The burgers (three for $12) are mini. The mojitos are minty. And there's nothing about the name of this place that will make you lose your appetite.
Compared to the burgers at D.S. Tequila, the $1 quarter-pound patties at Big Chicks seem paltry. But is there any way to complain about these things? They're only one dollar. Besides, the burgers aren't why you come here. You come here because you can have an honest meal, including a very fresh, very generous Mediterranean salad ($10), crisp fish and chips ($7.50) and huge slices of chocolate layer cake ($5.50)—the same cake you ogle on the host stand every time you brunch at Tweet.
You are hereby encouraged to eat at D.S. because it is surprisingly, shockingly and, at times, grossly good. Yes, grossly. How else to describe the Barnyard Burger ($14), an Allen Brothers prime beef patty with pulled pork, bacon, provolone and a fried egg? But it's not all that intense. The coffee-rubbed skirt steak tacos ($3.39 each) are just as good, and you can order as many (or as few) as you like. Photo: Evan Jenkins
Back in the city, another small cluster of Korean bars north of Lincoln Square includes hidden gem Dancen. Thanks to the bar's built-in flattop, they're responsible for the best booze snack in town, "fire chicken" ($12). Bite-sized hunks of chicken thighs are soaked through with soy-spiked chili paste and piled high on the plate. Trust: After a couple of bottles of soju, you will be cleaning those bones.
In nearby Des Plaines is Ssaboo (formerly Hourglass), which lured loyalists from its original Lawrence Avenue location with killer sweet-and-spicy chicken ($12.95). The crowd is a mix of ages, with businessmen sipping whiskey at the bar, middle-aged women slurping kimchi stew in a clay bowl ($8.95). Photo: Jason Little
For the complete checklist and good people-watching, DMZ Café in Niles is the late-night hot spot, dead before midnight, hopping at 1am and always a good stop for the "dry snacks" platter ($12), including strands of dried calamari for the adventurous and pistachios for the timid.
Sometimes you just want a salad with the game. No? You will after trying the arugula and grapefruit salad at River North's Public House ($9), with peppery greens complementing the bittersweet grapefruit, shaved fennel giving depth and toasted pistachios adding crunch. And just to show its range, Public House, which manages to affix TVs to nearly every surface and still seem classy, also serves incredible fries: crunchy on the outside and not too greasy. On the miles-long beer list, the precious-though-helpful icon key breaks down flavor profiles (a bunny means hoppy!), and includes Bell's Hopslam, rarely found in Chicago.
Rare is a sports bar that plays Lykke Li and New Order during commercial breaks, and rarer still is one that serves luscious pork belly sliders ($4 each) and meaty wings with scalp-sweatingly hot Cholula-buffalo sauce ($9 for six).
The burger ($11), Slagel Farm beef ground by the Butcher & Larder, is juicy perfection, and the lollipop wings ($9), breaded chicken drizzled with housemade buffalo sauce and ranch dressing and clinging to a tiny bone, make eating this classic sports-bar grub a more civilized affair. Photo: Jason Little
The food, though sometimes too precious, provides ambitious flavor combinations (e.g., lamb loin and blini drizzled with smoked maple syrup and dotted with Dijon mustard, $12) for less than the price of most drinks upstairs. Photo: Emily Mohney
Chef Nick Lacasse offers a three-course prix fixe for $49, but we found more success with the small plates than the mains: Try the beef tartare with fried nubs of potato ($14) and the refreshing salad of sautéed shrimp, jicama and cucumbers ($13). Photo: Ashlee Rezin
It's actually chef Duncan Biddulph (ex-Lula) whose food is distinctive and beautiful, from the Roman-style semolina gnocchi sprinkled with hazelnuts ($11) to the delicately layered rectangle of savory corn crêpes ($8) to the dead-on medium-rare hanger steak entwined with seasonal vegetables ($15). Photo: Jason Little
Madeira was also the pairing a server at Webster's Wine Bar suggested for the chocolate croissant bread pudding ($7). Webster's and Telegraph are sister wine bars, but at Webster's the desserts are far less complex. That doesn't mean the thin slice of pudding wasn't enjoyable. Actually, the size was nice in that it wasn't overwhelming, leaving all the more room for another round of Madeira. Photo: Ashlee Rezin
It would appear that a red-bean pound cake topped with coffee toffee ($7) might pose a pairing problem as well. Luckily, Telegraph advises what to drink right there on the menu. The suggested bourbon-spiked coffee is surprisingly spot-on: The toffee notes in the bourbon marry with the dessert. Photo: Dave Rentauskas
When the food is actually good—gooey cubes of cheese fried in front of you, served piping hot ($4); an Italian beef soaking through its bun ($5, with ample fries)—and the smiley manager, Fernando, makes you feel as welcome as the regulars, you've found a champion. Photo: Tessa Marshall
Can we talk about these wings? They solve the eternal dilemma of buffalo versus barbecue by marrying the two marinades in what the bar calls "buffaque," which cuts the heat with a pleasant sweetness. Photo: Ashlee Rezin
The corn dog's not the only cost-effective comestible at this busy hipster hangout; for $5, a Vienna dog with bold pepper jack, creamy garlic aioli and a crisp winter slaw is as satisfying as most of the specialty sausages, which cost nearly double that. Photo: Jason Little
Buffered by fatty, sauce-covered rib tips ($12) or a po' boy sandwich loaded with fried catfish, crab cakes or blackened chicken ($8.50), you won't mind that you paid a $12 cover.
Start with the rich mushroom-blue-cheese beignets ($12). Share the surprisingly sophisticated take on poutine, made with pig face and cognac-scented currants ($13). And then go all out: the porchetta sandwich ($15), a huge, dripping-with-juices mess of herb-laced pork.
On Sunday, find a date and haul him or her to Small Bar Fullerton, a place known for its devotion to soccer, beer and chef Justin White's Sunday Gravy, a stew of meatballs, pork butt, chuck roast, braciola and hard-boiled egg. It's paired with a bottle of Italian red wine and foccacia, all of which rings in at $30 for two. Photo: Tessa Marshall
Wednesday equals Toons, the classic Southport Corridor bar whose juicy, hand-formed, half-pound, no-frills Toonsburger is only $4. Photo: Tessa Marshall
For Tuesday specials, it's off to the Bedford, the lounge in a former bank vault. There, chef Mark Steuer slashes the price of ocean-fresh oysters (regularly $2 each) in half, and the bar follows suit, knocking 50 percent off all sparkling wines and Champagnes. Photo: Dave Rentauskas
Monday night means Duke of Perth, the handsome Lakeview Scotch emporium, for two-for-one entrées. You want the crispy, flaky fish and chips, $10.75, and, for your freebie, the mashed potato–crowned shepherd's pie, regularly $10.75 as well.

'General' Andrei Markov helps Canadiens power past Jets
By CHRIS STEVENSON, QMI Agency
MONTREAL - Andrei Markov might have lost a step to two serious knee injuries, but there's nothing wrong with the veteran defenceman's hands.
Without Markov in the lineup for most of the last two seasons, the Canadiens once fearsome power play slipped to 23rd in the league last season and -- more shockingly -- to 27th in the league on home ice.
That was one of the big reasons the Canadiens had the fewest wins on home ice -- 16 -- last season.

I'm really not sure what the appeal is here but some of you might be interested which is why I'm sharing this regardless of the fact it's just awful.
UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste is doing a YouTube show called FilmStrip which is essentially a trivia game where Arianny takes her clothes off if you answer the question correctly. Let's just say you've got to be really into Arianny if you can tolerate watching this for more than a minute. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather see a live game show with some squirming nerds answering her question then just watching her talk to the camera and read her q-card.
I can't get past the point that there is absolutely no point in this when essentially her job is to be in a bikini. Why would you answer trivia questions in order to simply see her in a bikini? Especially when you can see her nude in playboy with the click of a button on the internet if you really want to.

GE H85 To Power Caiga's New Turboprop Single
China Aviation Industry General Aircraft (Caiga) selected GE Aviation's H85 turboprop engine to power its new Primus 150. Set to be the first purpose-built executive turboprop single built in China, the Primus 150 is a pressurized five-seater with an all-composite carbon-fiber airframe. No certification timeline was available at press time.
This will be the first application for the 850-shp H85, which is awaiting EASA certification. The engine is derived from GE's existing H80 turboprop (itself an upgraded Walter M601), which recently entered service on the Thrush 510G ag aircraft.
GE and Caiga have signed an agreement to jointly develop engine service and support capability for Primus 150 operators in China. The H85 will be manufactured at GE Aviation's facility in the Czech Republic, which is currently ramping up production of the H80.
Caiga, a subsidiary of China's Avic and part of the Comac group, acquired Duluth, Minn.-based Cirrus Aircraft last year. The company also purchased most of Epic Aircraft in 2010, and the Primus 150 looks strikingly similar to the all-composite Epic LT turboprop single.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The two leaders of a working
committee overseeing Oklahoma's plan to lower the state's prison
population have resigned, saying they would no longer chair the group
and couldn't ask other members to keep serving.
Former House Speaker Kris Steele and Oklahoma
County District Attorney David Prater resigned Thursday as chairmen of
the Justice Reinvestment Initiative group. They cited what they call
dishonesty from Gov. Mary Fallin's office and a House vote creating a
committee that could replace them.
The group includes legislators and officials from corrections, law enforcement and state courts.
At the meeting, Fallin's general counsel Steve
Mullins told the group their input was valuable but they couldn't do or
change anything with their findings.
A spokesman for Fallin didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.
