Dr. William S. Stoney, C'50, at the Friends of the Library
- on 24 Apr 2014
- Torian Room, duPont Library
Dr. William S. Stoney, C'50, will be the guest speaker at the April 24 Friends of the Library meeting. A reception will follow the talk.
Stoney has a long and distinguished career as a cardiac surgeon and will talk about his journey in the cardiovascular field of medicine. After graduating from the University of the South, he completed medical school at Vanderbilt University in 1954 and was in private practice for many years at St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville.
Stoney's book, Pioneers of Cardiac Surgery, is a fascinating overview of the history of cardiac surgery. Heart operations today are quite common and relatively low-risk, but in the beginning it was just the opposite. Cardiac operations were reserved for desperately ill patients. Stoney documents this dramatic transition with profiles of 38 surgeons who were active between 1940 and 1985. They tell of the development of new techniques such as the "blue baby operation," the first heart-lung machine, the first artificial heart valve, and the first coronary bypass operation.
Stoney has given an endowment to Jessie Ball duPont Library for a collection of materials focused on the history of medicine.

Seven Strategies to Enhance Learning through Group Work

When You Need To Retreat: Create A Cozy Spot
We loved Abby's recent post about using a friend's home to decompress (sometimes you just need to get away from it all). In addition, it's important to have a spot in your home (besides the living room) that's cozy. Often times, the television and a considerable amount of foot traffic makes for a distraction-filled space (and there's nowhere left to retreat)...
Find a corner of your home in a low traffic area where you can quietly read a book or think quietly. It doesn't take a ton of space--a chair, some pillows and a reading light is sufficient. We love Alison's cozy spot at the end of the hallway. A recently recovered chair and a humorous cross-stitched pillow makes for a comfy zone. To us, the soothing pea green back wall mixed with the fun texture of exposed brick reminds us of our time spent on the east coast.
Apartment Therapy readers, in your home--do you have a spot besides the living room that is your retreat away from it all?

thats a pretty good idea !... unfortunately i do not have one in my house :(
That chair doesn't really look inviting. Would anyone actually ever sit in a corner of the hallway to read a book rather than in the living room?
while i love the idea, i don't love this photo. if i was in that chair, i would feel as though i was on a time-out
I do love the idea of the funny cross-stich!
Great idea, not-so-great illustration. It does kind of look like a time-out corner...but, then, maybe that's what some of us need. : )
i think this is a great idea! i could imagine myself getting cozy talking with an old friend on the phone in that spot.
I had a really warm older friend in college who had an apartment near campus. She created a little spot in her apartment she called "Donna's fun spot." It really was. She had graduated with a degree in horticulture, and had cultivated some really unusual house plants, placed a comfortable chair and a little table nearby, and lit the small area with a hanging pendant lamp.
I think if I was sitting in a lone chair off a hallway or nook, I would so feel five again and being in time out for something. It wouldn't be five mins before I would venture back to the living room or something.
Luckily though the fiance and I both love to hang out in the living room, there is a futon in the spare room (the office/guest room/sitting room/storage/etc room actually) with a good lamp where sometimes I'll go to read if he's watching television. It's all about dual-purpose (or more than two) spaces.
Relaxing? I wouldn't read in the corner of a yellow hallway while an angry vagina was staring me down but hey, that's just me.
Relaxing? I wouldn't read in the corner of a yellow hallway while an angry vagina was staring me down but hey, that's just me.
thank you. i was so hoping that it wasn't just me.
I'd like to know what color yellow that is, but wouldn't want to chill out there.
I was really only reading the comments to see if any one saw the artwork as I did. Thans Kevon and nevergirl.
I never know what to do with sitting spots. Without a television or my lap top....I would just be sitting there feeling stupid and lonely.
This is actually a picture of the hallway in my apartment--thanks everyone for the comments. It's funny that so many of you share the same thoughts I do about it! I really think the sentiment of having a relaxing place to chill out is important (it would probably be our back porch). I've always liked the poster, which is actually an Interpol poster of a sideways eye and a gift from a friend, but I can't look at it for long periods of time because it's so, um, eye-catching. That's why we hung it in the hallway--limited exposure and it distracts from the big vents in the hallway.

Love, fear, happiness, and fame. The intangibility of emotion begs the individual to constantly hunger for more than a taste. The king of the classroom, the big man on campus, or even the city hero; enough is never enough. Truthfully, the appetite for success is both boundless and insatiable. Some climb the ladder, some buy it. Others work fruitlessly, and some, often the most deserving, never glimpse the limelight. We want the world. We want to sell, to be sold, to "make it."
But what's the formula? We've always preached that hard work pays off, but is that really the case? There are so many "hardworkers" these days. No, there's more than a few variables including that extra bit of luck, cuthroat, and knowing the right people. It's often said that the best DJ in the world is spinning in some underground club in the middle of nowhere. The world is waiting for his music, but they will never hear it.
This past summer, I was working in New York City and spending my nights exploring the musical architecture of the electronic mecca. On this particular evening, my ears were invited to a Broadway loft for something different. Hardly packed, the small crowd got down and the floors shook with the pressure of all that lean. Still, there was something different about the usual comeup city DJs and I'd be lying if I said I couldn't spot the man's smile from a block away. Full of cheesy grooves, snapback tilts, and a fresh attitude, Baauer and I spent the night trapped in a hipster's paradise. Think the kid had it coming? Whether "Harlem Shake" or harlem shook, the mostly unknown snares & hats did little to inspire any masked debauchery. Turns out, a lot can happen in 6 months.
It is. But what's even more "nuts" is the fact that this unusual success story is about to be joined by many more. As of Wednesday, both rating authorities Billboard and Nielson have announced that they are adding Youtube streaming data to their ranking systems, "enhancing a formula that includes Nielsen's digital download track sales and physical singles sales; as well as terrestrial radio airplay, on-demand audio streaming, and online radio streaming, also tracked by Nielsen" (via Billboard.com). In recent years, the Hot 100 (and most traditional music rankings) has lost most, if not all, relevancy to an online music culture built niche by niche. Now, all official videos (so yes, you still need some semblance of label support) are included in a ranking that can literally make a budding career flower overnight. Baauer was the first artist to ever climb from that 200 person New York loft to, officially, the number one artist in America. After five decades, the formula has been changed. It's your world. Take it.

"Whatever is in any way beautiful hath its source of beauty in itself, and is complete in itself; praise forms no part of it. So it is none the worse nor the better for being praised." —Marcus Aurelius
Beauty, in the most sublime sense, is an inherent good. When I encounter it, I am reminded how little it matters what I, or anyone else, think about it. Writing over 1,800 years ago, Marcus Aurelius, as many others before him, understood it too.
I recently came across the Pakistani-born, Tokyo-based photographer Arif Iqball's work via David Alan Harvey's excellent online magazine burn. These pictures of Geiko and their apprentice Maiko are simple, elegant, contemplative, and sumptuous with color. It is the respect and love from the photographer that infuses them with their sensitivity. His admiration for Japanese culture and tradition is evident. Mr. Iqball is still developing as a photographer, but this delightful series (including the B&W version on his website) shows promise. —Lane Nevares
"A single photograph is a mere fragment of an experience and, simultaneously, the distillation of the entire body of one's experience." —Shomei Tomatsu
Tomorrow night in Cologne, Germany the Galerie Priska Pasquer will host a vernissage for the great Japanese photographer, Shomei Tomatsu. While still not widely known in the States, Tomatsu is, without question, one of Japan's most important photographers.
Born in 1930, Tomatsu came of age in the devastating aftermath of post-WWII Japan. A quiet, reserved and self-taught photographer, he would first go on to document the atomic devastation in Nagasaki as he discusses in this brief video. Later, however, his work would follow the changing dynamism of Japanese culture and society as it emerged from the war and into the bright lights of capitalism and consumerism.
We can thank the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for first bringing Shomei Tomatsu to the attention of a broader American audience. Their groundbreaking retrospective, "Skin of the Nation" in 2006, helped us to understand the importance of Tomatsu's work. And today, Aperture magazine's latest fall issue #208 displays a Tomatsu image on the cover and a feature on his work in Okinawa.
I invite you to explore Shomei Tomatsu's legacy and to discover for yourself, why the sensitivity, power and grace of his images have influenced Japanese photography for generations. —Lane Nevares
"The truth is that anyone can make a photo. The trouble is not that photos are hard to make. The trouble is that photos are hard to make intelligent and interesting." —John Szarkowski
I recalled this quote recently while visiting the NY Photo Festival last week in Brooklyn. I enjoyed many of the exhibits, but I came away feeling that the Tokyo-Ga show was the stand-out. The founder and curator, Ms. Naoko Ohta, has assembled quite a fantastic selection of contemporary Japanese photographers, many of whom were unknown to me. I am happy to discover the work of two young photographers in particular, Masami Yamamoto and Junpei Kato .
Yamamoto's images offer mystery and chiaroscuro, while Kato's clean lines and colors transcend banal, urban surfaces. Both photographers are distinctly different, but are alike in how they capture Beauty by taking simplicity and giving it meaning—not an easy thing to do, but the results are intelligent and interesting. —Lane Nevares

You know what throws a cramp in your already-sporadic blog posting style? Moving. Seriously. I have actually finished four projects and one yarn since I've moved and I have blogged about exactly one of them. Sometimes I think I should just be crazy and try a quick video podcast, but then I think about how it would be 10 seconds long because normally nothing gets done from week to week, and that would be a pretty boring podcast.
Anyway, case in point is that this picture is from September 5th, and I'm just now posting it. Holding these llamas led to my learning about the spinning guild, and this is also the least-flattering picture of me in the history of pictures of me that I post outside of Facebook.
Also, I'm not going to lie, the lady thrust the leashes at me and said "hold them" and I was afraid one of them was going to bite me or something. That smile is actually thinly-veiled fear. It's probably a good thing I just have cats.

In this week's Entertainment Weekly—which features four exclusive covers of the fairy tale epic's all-star cast—we dive headfirst into the design of the dark, sprawling world of Into the Woods, the musical tale about a childless Baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) who attempt to lift a witch's curse by venturing into an enchanted forest filled with classic characters like Cinderella (Anna Kendrick) and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy). But this isn't your mother's Cinderella VHS—nor your daughter's DVD, for that matter. "I didn't want this to look like a cartoon world," says Marshall. "It's not sunny, sunny, sunny—we wanted a sense of danger."

Joshi seeks Cabinet nod for probePrafulla Marpakwar
MUMBAI, June 8: Chief Minister Manohar Joshi's unilateral announcement to conduct a high-level probe into alleged politician-criminal nexus has sent shock waves not only among senior Congress leaders, but also among the top functionaries of the Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party alliance.
Joshi said ever since the state government came to power on March 14, 1994, the demand for a high-level inquiry into the alleged politician-criminal nexus was before him. ``I thought it should not be too late to conduct the inquiry to the logical end. Accordingly, on Saturday, I decided to order the probe,'' Joshi told The Indian Express.
When asked if the probe would be on the pattern of the much publicised inquiry conducted by former Union home secretary N N Vora, Joshi replied that it would be a simple probe conducted by a government official, preferably from either the police or the home department.
Joshi said it was owing to such a nexus that underworld elements were encouraged to conduct their illegal activities and thus, adversely effect the law and order situation.
``The modalities of the inquiry will be decided after the special Cabinet meeting at Ratnagiri on Tuesday. I will place the entire proposal before the Cabinet for approval,'' Joshi said.
The chief minister said his government has received several complaints against a section of politicians alleging their links with one or the other criminal. ``It was essential to probe these complaints by appropriate authorities,'' Joshi added.
However, top leaders of the Sena-BJP today expressed surprise and shock over Joshi's announcement. ``Joshi is a determined politician. If he decides to conduct the inquiry, then he will take it to the logical end like he did in case of controversial former Minister Shashikant Sutar, who resigned following indictment by the Puranik Committee,'' a senior minister said.However, most Sena and BJP ministers remarked that the announcement was made in hurry and without bringing the issue before the Cabinet.
`` From the seven-line statement, I think the decision was taken to oblige a section of Congress leaders, particularly arch rivals of Sharad Pawar to embarrass him on eve of the AICC presidential elections,'' a senior BJP Minister said.
Apparently, there was no immediate cause to make such an announcement, he added.
In this connection, the Minister recalled the statement of former chief minister Sudhakarrao Naik before the Sri Krishna Commission, probing into the 1992-93 communal riots in the wake of the demolition of the Babri Masjid.Naik had deposed before the commission that former Congress legislators Pappu Kalani and Hitendra Thakur, alleged associates of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, may have been given elections tickets at the instance of senior party leader Sharad Pawar. Naik had also informed the commission that there was a definite underworld-politician nexus in the state.
Meanwhile, Sharad Pawar welcomed Joshi's decision. ``I have read the chief minister's statement and I welcome it,'' he said.
Asked about allegations by detractors about his links with criminal elements, Pawar said nobody had so far made any specific charge against him.

The Environmental Impact of a T-Shirt
Just one of many ways to curb waste and pollution on our planet, textile recycling could have a lasting impact, decreasing carbon dioxide emissions and the amount of harmful pollutants in our water supplies while saving landfill space.
I found a really cool infographic that visually explains the impact of the most common item of clothing: the t-shirt!
Nowadays, fashion should be created in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Several ways this can be accomplished is by not producing in excess (you know the adage: quality over quantity!), using less water and chemicals (in terms of the dyes or natural resources from which one must derive the materials needed to create the clothes), and finding ways to upcycle and recycle leftover textiles. Additionally, we must not forget that the people who create the clothes are exposed to these chemicals and must endure other forms of unethical treatment in environments where clothing is not created in a responsible manner.
Kotoba is striving to create environmentally and socially responsible clothing by creating beautiful luxury knitwear with our incredible WholeGarment machines and producing all our garments as locally as possible! We can't wait to show you our upcoming collections!

Overall quality/value is good for the money. The door gaps were aligned well all around, however there is a big gap between the two doors that makes it look cheap.
Overall this was exactly what I wanted but was very disapointed that the washers were missing. The missing was was a manufacturing error. These washers were glued in several places on the item but missing them on some of the ends. The fasteners and screws that were bagged were all there. This was simply a quality control issue by the manufacturer.
First delivery of the cabinet was great they said it would be here on Friday and I actually got it on Thursday so that was a great surprise. Opened box all the part were there but no directions, lucky for me I have put quite a few products together so only took about 45 minutes and that was without the instructions. The only thing i really don't like is that the shelves are not completely stable when you put in towels the shelves lift up and the magnet that door closes against could be bigger it doesn't stay closed good. But other than that the cabinet is nice and looks great in the small space I have.
It looked nice, but the quality was poor, the doors didn't line up correctly and they were very wobbly....sent it back without a problem and still love OS
This cabinet looks very nice however it did not come with any instructions. I looked up the manufacturer on line but there was no help there. I had to pay someone to put it together and unfortunately not all the parts matched. The doors did not line up exactly right so the magnet does not hold them completely shut. Shame that there were no assembly instructions as the cabinet really is very functional and makes a nice piece of furniture for small spaces.
The color is nice. Other than that, there is nothing else I can say that is positive. Took me awhile to figure out how to attach the sides to the bottom, and then to the top. Cabinet is very wobbly. I would not feel comfortable putting anything breakable in it - it might collapse on top of it.
Ok for the money. Not bad for the price paid. Had a few issues setting it up.
it was terrible to put together; parts broke and we had to finally glue it together. it was a good thing that my spouse was handy with fixing things.
It is a very nice cabinet.I like everything about it except it is not very strong.I kept the cabiet tho.maybe I can tightin it up later.yes I would recommend it to a friend.
The color of this cabinet is beautiful The glass doors really gives it an expensive look. The only problem I have with it is that it does not feel stable or study. I am using it in my guest bathroom for towels, washcloths, etc., so it should hold up. If it had some type of brace that helped to make it feel more study, it would be an excellent piece.

Who says Legos can't be romantic? A Star Wars fan combined his love of Legos, a galaxy far, far away and his potential future bride in a diorama recently. A photo below show the set-up, complete with a Lego stormtrooper down on one knee, proposing with a real diamond ring. We're assuming since the diorama […]

Reuters-Ipsos poll: Senate Majority Leader Reid barely ahead in Nevada race
Perhaps it will become known as a tale of two Reids.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is barely ahead of his Republican opponent Sharron Angle in the Nevada race for U.S. Senate, and his son Rory Reid is slipping against Republican Brian Sandoval in the governor's race, according to a Reuters-Ipsos poll.
Looking at likely voters, Reid is up 46-44 percent against Angle. Among registered voters, Reid is up 46-38 percent and among independents, he is up 29-15 percent.
When it comes to Nevada voters views of the Tea Party, which supports Angle, 51 percent of registered voters, 56 percent of Republicans and 57 percent of independents said it would make no difference on whether to support or not support Angle.
Among Democrats, 46 percent said Tea Party backing made them less likely to support Angle, while 45 percent said it would make no difference.
Ipsos pollsters say the proportions who say they are both more and less likely to support Angle because of her Tea Party association has gone up, which while appearing contradictory, actually demonstrates that she has been effective at raising her profile and establishing an identity as a candidate.
When it came to the best person to help generate jobs in Nevada, Reid was ahead of Angle 50-38 percent among likely voters, and 56-30 percent among registered voters.
But on who was part of the problem with politics right now in the United States, Reid was also ahead of Angle 53-29 percent among likely voters and 47-33 percent among registered voters.
In the governor's race it looks like Republican Brian Sandoval is picking up steam with support among likely voters now at 60-31 percent over Democrat Rory Reid, a wider margin than the 50-39 percent in an early August poll.

This is a beautiful apple and custard pie that has a few steps including the apple filling, buttermilk custard and crumble topping; but it is worth the effort.
This recipe didn't work for us. It didn't advise the size of the pastry case, more apples should have been included and the amount of sugar in the custard was too much. - 14 Jan 2012

Halloween is the season for little ghosts and goblins to take to the streets asking for candy and scaring each other silly. Spooky stories are told around fires, scary movies appear in theaters, and pumpkins are expertly (and not-so-expertly) carved into jack-o'-lanterns.
Amid all the commercialism, haunted houses, and bogus warnings about razors in apples, the origins of Halloween are often overlooked. Yet Halloween is much more than just costumes and candy; in fact the holiday has a rich and interesting history.
Halloween can be traced back about 2,000 years to an Oct. 31 Gaelic festival called Samhain (pronounced "sah-win"), which means "summer's end" in Gaelic. Because ancient records are sparse and fragmentary, the exact nature of Samhain is not fully understood, but it was an annual communal meeting at the end of the harvest year, a time to gather resources for the winter months. There were supernatural and religious aspects to the pagan festival, though nothing that would be considered sinister by modern standards.
According to Nicholas Rogers, a history professor at York University and author of "Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night," "there is no hard evidence that Samhain was specifically devoted to the dead or to ancestor worship, despite claims to the contrary by some American folklorists, some of whom have presumed that the feast was devoted to Saman, the god of the dead. ...
"According to the ancient sagas, Samhain was the time when tribal peoples paid tribute to their conquerors and when the sidh [ancient mounds] might reveal the magnificent palaces of the gods of the underworld," Rogers wrote. Samhain was less about death or evil than about the changing of seasons and preparing for the dormancy (and rebirth) of nature as summer turned to winter.
Though a direct connection between Halloween and Samhain has never been proven, many scholars believe that All Saint's Day (or All Hallows Mass, celebrated November 1) and Samhain, coming so close together on the calendar, influenced each other and later combined into the celebration we now call Halloween (or All Hallows Eve). Druid leaders wore animal skins and heads during Samhain ceremonies, possibly contributing to the familiar tradition of dressing up in costumes.
Irish influence
As for modern Halloween, folklorist Jack Santino, writing in "American Folklore: An Encyclopedia," notes that "Halloween beliefs and customs were brought to North America with the earliest Irish immigrants, then by the great waves of Irish immigrants fleeing the famines of the first half of the nineteenth century. Known in the North American continent since colonial days, by the middle of the twentieth century Halloween had become largely a children's holiday." Since that time the holiday's popularity increased dramatically as adults, communities, and institutions (such as schools, campuses, and commercial haunted houses) embraced the event.
Through the ages various supernatural entities including fairies and witches came to be associated with Halloween, and over a century ago in Ireland the event was said to be a time when spirits of the dead could return to their old haunting grounds. Dressing up as ghosts or witches became fashionable, though as the holiday became more widespread and more commercialized (and with the arrival of mass-manufactured costumes) the selection of disguises for kids and adults greatly expanded beyond monsters to include everything from superheroes to princesses to politicians. [Countdown: 13 Halloween Superstitions & Traditions Explained]
Tricks & treats
By the late 1800s, the tradition of playing pranks on Halloween was well established. Halloween mischief in the United States and Canada consisted of tipping over outhouses, unhinging farmer's gates, throwing eggs at houses and the like. By the 1920s and '30s, however, the celebrations had become more like a rowdy block party, and the acts of vandalism more serious.
To stem the vandalism, concerned parents and town leaders tried to ply kids with candy, encouraging trick-or-treating in costume in exchange for sweets, bumping the mischief element from the celebrations of Oct. 31 altogether. It was then that the troublemakers, neighborhood by neighborhood, adopted Oct. 30 as their day to pull pranks.
However, Halloween was as much a time for festivities and games as for playing tricks or asking for treats. Apples are associated with Halloween, both as a treat and in the game of bobbing for apples. Bobbing for apples was used for fortunetelling. It was believed that the first person to pluck an apple from the water-filled bucket without using their hands would be the first to marry.
Apples were also part of another form of marriage prophecy. On Halloween, (sometimes at the stroke of midnight) young women would peel an apple into one continuous strip and throw it over her shoulder. The apple skin would supposedly land in the shape of the first letter of her future husband's name.
Another Halloween ritual involved looking in a mirror at midnight by candlelight, for a future husband's face was said to appear (a scary variation of this later became the "Bloody Mary" ritual familiar to many schoolgirls). Like many such childhood games it was likely done in fun, though at least some people took it seriously. [Related: Why Do We Carve Pumpkins at Halloween?]
No devilry
Some evangelical Christians have expressed concern that Halloween is somehow Satanic because of its roots in pagan ritual. However, ancient Celts did not worship anything resembling the Christian Devil and indeed had no concept of it. In fact, the Samhain festival had long since vanished by the time the Catholic Church began persecuting witches in its search for Satanic cabals. And, of course, black cats need not have any association with witchcraft to be considered evil — simply crossing their path is considered bad luck any time of year.

Dear Lord Commander's Log,
I don't even feel like LOLing at that today, because my life is a black abyss. I'm pretty sure Ygritte and I are breaking up, and I've been cutting myself, hoping that she can feel my pain, and take me back. Ygritte is my soul mate, she's the hottest girl I know, but what do I know…probably nothing. Why couldn't Ygritte just come back to Castle Black with me? I mean, even Sam has a new girlfriend, even though she's got a baby…LOL man is he screwed! He's not even her baby daddy.
Sam told me about the other bros killing Lord Commander Mormont, and that we will have to vote a new one in, but I don't vote, because I'm not a conformist sheep like the rest of 'em. I'm pretty mad at Pyp right now. He took my, My Chemical Romance CD to Mole's Town a couple of night's ago, so he could bang this chick there. He came back with nothing but burning pee. Now I'll never get to hear "Welcome to the Black Parade" again, and that was my favorite song!
Maester Aemon keeps mumbling about some prince that was promised, and saying that "they" got it wrong, whatever that means. Sam needs to stop staring at Gilly's boobs every time she feeds that baby of hers, and start paying more attention to Maester Aemon. Seriously…old dude farted yesterday while I was helping him feed the ravens, and it smelled like hot-rotten eggs. I almost threw up! He kept laughing and saying "pull my finger Egg" but I have no clue who this Egg is. I just know that I'm never falling for the old pull my finger trick, ever again. I don't care that he used to be a Targaryen.
Welp Lord Commander's Log…okay LOL…I gotta go for now, it's Salisbury Steak night, and I am not going to miss that again.

I try as hard as possible to not be preachy about vegetarianism because I find it just as annoying as being preachy about your religion/other lifestyle choices, but today I'm feeling particularly enthused, so I'll just post a bit.
I was a pescatarian for about four and a half years and have been a true vegetarian for about six months (though I'll probably tell you that I've been a vegetarian for five years because it makes everything less complicated). I changed my lifestyle because I always have been and always will be an animal lover. While I don't remember this, my mom always tells me that she knew I'd probably choose to become a vegetarian one day because even when I was little I pestered her about why chicken the food was called 'chicken' like the animal, and when she told me I got upset. BUT I DIGRESS, THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT.
As many vegetarians know, once you tell people you don't eat meat you have to start learning how to field questions. "What if you were alone in the woods and starving and there was plate of meat in front of you?" "What are you going to feed your kids?" "You still eat meat SOMETIMES, right?" It's natural, but sometimes intrusive and annoying. I found this especially hard because I made the decision kind of on a whim after a family reunion where everyone was feasting on venison, meat from a deer that my uncle had personally shot and killed while sparing the rest of the family no details as to how he went about doing so. I was thirteen, so I wasn't stupid, I knew WHERE meat came from, but hearing it made me sick. So I packed up my food and said 'NO MORE' without doing any real research. Thankfully my mom's a nurse (and also, you know, a mom) so she was super careful and made sure I ate a balanced diet and whatnot. And I don't regret my decision for one second. It's better for the environment, and better for my psyche.
I know that most people aren't as sensitive to these issues as I am, so I'll never be one of those people that blathers on about how a vegetarian lifestyle is the only way that anyone should live, because that's a ridiculous expectation. If I could get people to make a change, though, I would tell them to buy locally raised meat. I wish more people would do this, because it's WAY better for the environment (given that it doesn't have to be shipped across the country in gas-guzzling trucks), the animals are still raised for slaughter, but at least they aren't tortured and beaten for their entire lives. In a book I recently read, the process is described as going like this: "Once the transport cages are loaded, the trucks hit the road and take our [chickens] to the processing plant, where they will be dumped from their crates, shackled by their legs with metal cuffs, and hung head-down from a conveyor belt. Then, upside-down and wings flapping, their heads will be passed through an electrified water bath. For seven to ten seconds, electricity will travel through their bodies, hopefully stunning the animals. The next stop is the neck-cutting machine where sets of rotating blades sever the chickens' carotid arteries". This comes a 300 page, well documented research journal called 'Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat' and not PETA propaganda or something. And again, I'm not advocating for everyone to suddenly stop eating whatever they have been for the last twenty years, but shit like this is honestly unnecessary.
So there. That's me, my story, and my hope for anyone reading this. Even if you just make a concerted effort to buy locally raised meats (and produce, too!) then you'll have my stamp of approval (because I'm sure that means a whole lot to you….) I don't usually do this, but I figured I'd just throw it out there.
Since this is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic I would once again like to remember the dogs of the Titanic. :)
Dogs of the Titanic: a Dozen Aboard, Three Survived
April 15, 2012, marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, the ship touted as unsinkable, during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England, en route to New York. Much research has been done on the passengers, crew, and the ship itself over the years. But little has been reported about one group of passengers — the dogs of the Titanic. Many think of their pets as part of the family, and it's evident that that sentiment was as true 100 years ago as it is today.
Widener University, named for a prominent Philadelphia family that had three members on board, will honor the memory of that fateful voyage with an exhibit, a part of which will feature the dogs on board.
I spoke with the producer and curator of the exhibit, J. Joseph Edgette, Ph.D., on the telephone last week. He shared his knowledge of the Titanic and her four-legged passengers.
Dr. Edgette, you're known as an authority on the Titanic. How long have you been researching and working on this exhibit?
Dr. Edgette: I've been researching the Titanic for about 20 years, but working on this particular exhibit for approximately eight months.
How many dogs were actually on board at the time of sailing?
Dr. Edgette: There might have been more, but based on eyewitness accounts and ship's records, there were 12 confirmed, only three of which survived.
I've seen pictures and read that the ship's captain, Capt. Smith, had his dog aboard. Was he one of the dogs that survived?
Dr. Edgette: The dog seen in those photos was indeed Capt Smith's. Benjamin Guggenheim did a lot of traveling, often on ships skippered by Capt. Smith, so he knew him and his family well. Guggenheim, although originally scheduled to sail on another vessel, ended up on the Titanic, and brought a large Russian Wolfhound as a gift for the captain's daughter. The day before sailing, Smith had his photo taken on board with the dog that he named Ben in honor of the man who gifted him. The dog remained overnight, but was taken home to his daughter the next morning, so he was not on board when the ship got underway.
Why were the three dogs saved when there was so little room in the lifeboats for people? Was there a public outcry that dogs were rescued when so many people perished?
Dr. Edgette: The dogs that survived were so small that it's doubtful anyone even realized they were being carried to the lifeboats. Two were Pomeranians and the third was a Pekinese, all tiny dogs. One Pomeranian named Lady, bought by Miss Margaret Hays while in Paris, shared the cabin with and was wrapped in a blanket by Miss Hays when the order was given to evacuate. The Rothschilds owned the other Pomeranian, and the Pekinese, named Sun Yat-Sen, was brought on board by the Harpers (of the N.Y. publishing firm, Harper & Row).
It seems only prominent families had dogs aboard the Titanic. Is that true?
Dr. Edgette: Yes. Only first class passengers had dogs on the voyage. One family even received an insurance settlement for their two dogs that didn't survive.
I'm surprised that family pets were insured back then. Do you have more background on that?
Dr. Edgette: Another wealthy passenger, William Carter of Philadelphia, was traveling with his wife Lucille and their two children. Carter insured his wife's jewelry and other items of value, including the 1912 Renault automobile purchased in Paris. A replica of that vehicle is what appears in Jack and Rose's steamy love scene in the 1997 movie. The vehicle was insured for the full purchase price of $5,000; their daughter Lucy's King Charles Spaniel was insured for $100, young Billy's Airedale for $200. The children begged to take the dogs when evacuating, but Carter insisted that they were too big and that they'd be fine in the ship's kennel. Both dogs perished and the insurance company paid the settlement.
What other dogs didn't survive the tragedy?
Dr. Edgette: A toy poodle belonging to Helen Bishop, a Fox Terrier named Dog, millionaire John Jacob Aster's Airedale named Kitty. Robert Daniel brought Gamin de Pycombe, his French Bulldog, on board, and there were several others, whose names aren't known. Although a few of the animals shared the cabins of their owners, most were kept in the ship's kennel and tended to by crewmembers, so they were considered more as cargo and not on any passenger manifest.
One particularly sad story involves a Great Dane owned by 50-year-old Ann Elizabeth Isham. Miss Isham visited her dog at the ship's kennel daily and when she was evacuating, asked to take him also. When she was told the dog was too large, she refused to leave without him and got out of the lifeboat. Several days later, the body of a woman clutching a large dog was spotted by crew of the recovery ship, Mackay-Bennet, and dinghies were dispatched. Eyewitness accounts by crew and ship's log confirm the sighting and recovery, and the body recovered is assumed to be Miss Isham.
Of the photos that have been circulated about the ship, were any taken of the dogs aboard the Titanic?
Dr. Edgette: There are two photos of dogs taken on board, one of crewmembers walking the dogs, and another of a group of dogs tied to a rail. The photos were taken by amateur photographer, Fr. Frank Brown, who disembarked the ship in Queenstown, Ireland before she embarked on her transatlantic journey. Interestingly, Fr. Brown's are the only photographs of the interior of the Titanic known to be in existence, as the White Star Line had contracted with the Rochester firm, Eastman Kodak, to take photos upon the ship's arrival in New York, which of course never occurred.
I've heard a tale of a cat who survived the voyage. Do you have any knowledge of that?
Dr. Edgette: Crew often had at least one cat on board each ship to help keep the rat population down. It's said that there was a cat with young kittens aboard the sea trials of the Titanic but when the ship arrived in Southampton from Belfast, she was seen disembarking. Up and down the gangplank she went, retrieving one kitten at a time that she deposited on the dock. She and the kittens quickly disappeared and it was later said that had some sort of premonition that the voyage wasn't going to be a good one.
The Widener University exhibit will be open from April 10 through May 12. Admission is open to the public at no cost.
Respect to the cat. Got her ass in gear and peaced. Also, the humans survivors only had a 7% higher chance of living than the dog ones.
This is so cute! :)
A sloth has photobombed a holiday picture in the jungle. A team on an International Student Volunteers expedition had gathered in Costa Rica to help cut paths in the woodland. After completing their work, they posed for a photograph, only to be gatecrashed by the inquisitive creature. Manuel Ramirez, 44, anthropologist and tour guide, said: "As I looked through the camera lens I could see something creeping in to the frame. When I realised it was a baby sloth I clicked the button as fast as I could, not that he was going anywhere fast "Picture: Caters News Agency
