A Day in the Life of a PGY-4 Resident
My Background
Welcome! My name is Kevin, a Yale PGY-4. I grew up in Detroit, Michigan and went to the University of Michigan for undergrad (Go Blue!). I double-majored in psychology and neuroscience. After graduating, I took a gap year to work as a career adviser at my alma mater before moving to New York City to attend medical school at Weill Cornell Medical College. There, I fell in love with psychiatry, NYC, and the media industry. I took a year off to work as a writer for The Dr Oz Show, and I edited a textbook called, "Trans Bodies, Trans Selves: A Resource for the Transgender Community."
Why I Chose Yale
When I was looking at programs, I was initially set on staying in NYC. However, part of me also wanted to escape "The City" for a more quiet atmosphere (without it being too quiet). I found this at Yale. I fell in love with the program during my interview day, I met nice residents, welcoming staff, and a beautiful environment. Even while interviewing at other programs afterward, I couldn't get Yale (or New Haven) out of my head.
Other qualities that drew me to Yale: Diversity (racial, LGBTQ, geographic, etc): Of all the programs I visited, Yale valued diversity the most and it showed in their residents, faculty, and staff. Moonlighting: You can moonlight as early as your PGY-2 year. (Loans don't pay themselves!) Psychotherapy training: Yale is very strong when it comes to teaching psychotherapy modalities (psychodynamic, CBT, family, couples, etc); the adjacent New England Psychoanalytic Institute offers highly-experienced supervisors and additional didactic training. Collegiality: The Department of Psychiatry is well respected within the medical school and overall. CASE Selective: I appreciated having three months of protected time in my clinical duties to pursue research. I used this time to work on projects dedicated to transgender health.
My Schedule
The fourth year is sometimes called the "synthesis year," when your knowledge and skills from your first three years of residency start to come together. There are no call duties, and you can create a schedule that best satisfies your interests and enhances the skills you want for your desired career path. I'm currently the chief resident of the psychosomatic medicine service at Yale New Haven Hospital, where I essentially function as a consultation-liaison fellow and attend fellow-level didactics. Additionally, I work at Yale's Gender Clinic one day per week. There, I evaluate transgender-identified children and adolescents for hormone therapy and surgery. I usually work 8am-4:30pm. I also work on a few academic projects that focus on LGBT health. There are also ample moonlighting opportunities at Yale and at other nearby institutions, so I take advantage of them to make some extra cash.
In fourth year, I find myself with extra time that I dedicate to self-care and professional development. I teach medical students and junior residents, and I find it enjoyable and fulfilling. I run, catch up on Netflix TV shows, attend church, and read. I take advantage of my car and take road trips to different parts of New England--including New York City, Boston, Providence, and the Berkshires.
Where I Live
I live with my partner in Westville, which is a neighborhood adjacent to West Rock Ridge State Park. I pay less than $1000 for rent for a nice-sized one-bedroom apartment, which is a 15-20 minute drive from the West Haven VA Hospital. Housing is pretty easy to find in New Haven; the key is finding a neighborhood that fits your personality. I opted for a more quiet, suburban-esque atmosphere.
My Favorite Things to do in/around New Haven
I'm a religious person and regularly attend St. Thomas Episcopal Church in New Haven. It's very friendly and welcoming (including to LGBTQ parishioners). I serve on their governing council. I'm also a huge foodie, and I like to take advantage of New Haven Restaurant Week every year. New Haven offers an abundance of different cuisines to enjoy: Thai, Brazilian, French, Japanese, Italian, Cuban, Chinese, and my favorite--gourmet pizza!
Final Thoughts
Selecting where to go for residency can be challenging, anxiety-inducing, and overwhelming. I remember it as if it were yesterday! Whatever decision you make, find the program that fits YOU and your needs (both personal and academic). With that said, I've never regretted choosing Yale for residency. I learned a ton about psychiatry (and myself); I met some amazing colleagues; and I feel well-prepared to continue in my career path after graduation.

I love this truck. Being in Milwaukee its invaluable for the inevitable blizzards that dump snow on us every winter (sometimes even Fall & Spring!). I also pull cars into the shop when we get a no start and its too cold to push. Best truck Ive ever owned. Easy to work on, cheap to fix, and Ive got 195k on it and it still runs and drives like a dream.

2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WDReview
It Is What It Is. A 4wd Lumbering Beast Of A Vehicle. — I liked it for quite a while...then gas prices soared. Regretted purchase every time I gassed up. Very nice to have the 4WD in winter.

Good Looking Mountain Car — I think the only thing I really disliked about the Jeep was the gas mileage. Like any SUV it doesn't get amazing mileage but it isn't the worst. I'm a nanny so I do a lot of driving and it can kill my wallet at times. Great for a family though and a very reliable vehicle.
Primary Use: Commuting to work
Pros: It is a great looking car! I've really loved driving it. Comfortable drive and it's great out here in Colorado.

Initializes a new instance of the AccessViolationException class with serialized data.
Initializes a new instance of the AccessViolationException class with a specified message that describes the error.
|AccessViolationException(String, Exception)
Initializes a new instance of the AccessViolationException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.
Gets a collection of key/value pairs that provide additional user-defined information about the exception.(Inherited from Exception.)
Gets or sets a link to the help file associated with this exception.(Inherited from Exception.)
Gets or sets HRESULT, a coded numerical value that is assigned to a specific exception.(Inherited from Exception.)
Gets a message that describes the current exception.(Inherited from Exception.)

When overridden in a derived class, sets the SerializationInfo with information about the exception.(Inherited from Exception.)
Gets the runtime type of the current instance.(Inherited from Exception.)
Creates and returns a string representation of the current exception.(Inherited from Exception.)
Occurs when an exception is serialized to create an exception state object that contains serialized data about the exception.(Inherited from Exception.)
An access violation occurs in unmanaged or unsafe code when the code attempts to read or write to memory that has not been allocated, or to which it does not have access. This usually occurs because a pointer has a bad value. Not all reads or writes through bad pointers lead to access violations, so an access violation usually indicates that several reads or writes have occurred through bad pointers, and that memory might be corrupted. Thus, access violations almost always indicate serious programming errors. An AccessViolationException clearly identifies these serious errors.
In programs consisting entirely of verifiable managed code, all references are either valid or null, and access violations are impossible. Any operation that attempts to reference a null reference in verifiable code throws a NullReferenceException exception. An AccessViolationException occurs only when verifiable managed code interacts with unmanaged code or with unsafe managed code.
An AccessViolationException exception can occur only in unsafe managed code or when verifiable managed code interacts with unmanaged code:
An access violation that occurs in unsafe managed code can be expressed as either a NullReferenceException exception or an AccessViolationException exception, depending on the platform.
An access violation in unmanaged code that bubbles up to managed code is always wrapped in an AccessViolationException exception.
In either case, you can identify and correct the cause of the AccessViolationException exception as follows:
- Make sure that the memory that you are attempting to access has been allocated.
An AccessViolationException exception is always thrown by an attempt to access protected memory -- that is, to access memory that is not allocated or that is not owned by a process.
Automatic memory management is one of the services that the common language runtime provides. If managed code provides the same functionality as your unmanagede code, you may wish to move to managed code to take advantage of this functionality. For more information, see Automatic Memory Management.
- Make sure that the memory that you are attempting to access has not been corrupted.
If several read or write operations have occurred through bad pointers, memory may be corrupted. This typically occurs when reading or writing to addresses outside of a predefined buffer.
Starting with the .NET Framework 4, AccessViolationException exceptions thrown by the common language runtime are not handled by the catch statement in a structured exception handler if the exception occurs outside of the memory reserved by the common language runtime. To handle such an AccessViolationException exception, you should apply the HandleProcessCorruptedStateExceptionsAttribute attribute to the method in which the exception is thrown. This change does not affect AccessViolationException exceptions thrown by user code, which can continue to be caught by a catch statement. For code written for previous versions of the .NET Framework that you want to recompile and run without modification on the .NET Framework 4, you can add the <legacyCorruptedStateExceptionsPolicy> element to your app's configuration file. Note that you can also receive notification of the exceptions if you have defined a handler for the AppDomain.FirstChanceException or AppDomain.UnhandledException event.
This exception is thrown in the .NET Framework 2.0 and later versions. In earlier versions of the .NET Framework, an access violation in unmanaged code or unsafe managed code is represented by a NullReferenceException in managed code. A NullReferenceException is also thrown when a null reference is dereferenced in verifiable managed code, an occurrence that does not involve data corruption, and there is no way to distinguish between the two situations in versions 1.0 or 1.1.
Administrators can allow selected applications to revert to the behavior of the .NET Framework version 1.1. Place the following line in the <runtime> Element section of the configuration file for the application:
<legacyNullReferenceExceptionPolicy enabled = "1"/>

...and extended editions. I remember that the original negatives of the original "The Wicker Man" are lost and the only reason why we still don't have an NC 17 rated director's cut of Event Horizon is that the negatives of the unused footage ended up in a russian salt mine!
 But hey, on the other hand, they even found some "new" footage of Metropolis, so maybe in 50 years or so we see what Sherlock Holmes did with the Midgets.

... a 12-minute sequence that was cut from the film. Your review didn't specify if that was the case for the DVD as well, but I wanted to point that out in case you desired to track down more footage from this film. :-)

Like you Quint, it started my obsession with Sherlock Holmes and I have since become a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work. I also love how they made Mycroft thin where in the books he is fat, as if Watson was getting his revenge by making him a lard ass in his writings.
 I want to also add a recommendation to anyone who liked this movie: The Seven Percent Solution. Where this movie dealt with the question of Holmes' sexuality, that deals with his drug addiction, and he teams up with Sigmund Freud in it. A good double-feature.
 Finally, Happy New Year Quint and thanks for the good work in the past year.

I don't believe Lee ever played Watson...at least I'm not aware of it. He played Holmes in the West German production of Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace as well as a short series out of Belgium. He also played Sir Henry Baskerville in the Hammer Production of the Hound. I believe you have to go back to the 30s to find an actor who played both Holmes and Watson on the screen. That would be Reginald Denny. The great Jeremy Brett played Holmes in the Grenada series on TV. He also played Watson on stage opposite Charleton Heston as Holmes in the Crucifer of Blood.

Today those terms are used as marketing ploys to double dip on dvds. Back in the early days of laserdisc and dvd I craved unused footage. While most of it is lost from the early films say "pre 1970" before we had maverick directors I didn't know a Billy Wilder had several cuts. Them roadshow movies were a neat oddity, I got Happiest Millionaire Roadshow Edition and for cut scenes remember the Good, Bad , and Ugly with the restored re dubbed scenes added, the gratuitous board room massacre in the X rated Robocop, the jitterbug in Oz, Biggs Darklighter, the bugs in King Kong, dust storm in Jedi... always a good story why they were removed. Wish there was a four hour cut of the Searchers laying around somewhere. I would love to see some of the rumored extra footage of English Bob in Unforgiven or anything from Indiana jones. Damn directors with Final cut!

Glad you liked this Quint. Re the cutting Wilder never really got over it. Big shame as the great man never tried anything this ambitious before or after. I agree that Blakely and Lee are superb but Stephens as Holmes to me is up there with O'toole as Lawrence or Connery as Bond( rumour has it Stephens had a breakdown coz of the part) like you I'm no Holmes geek, but that doesn't stop me loving this movie. It's a tragedy that the original version is lost but this is still a masterpiece.

It was wildly unfashionable to like this movie in the 70s, as it was considered a big "misfire" from Wilder. I loved it from the first time I saw it - he had me at the Miklos Rosza score, based on the composer's violin concerto from the 50s - but for years felt like a lone voice singing its praises. I actually got to inteview Wilder in Cannes in 1978 (only eight years after HOLMES' release), and he was delighted this young (19 at the time) journalist was so effusive about a film he considered butchered by the studio. In the end, in typically self-effacing way, he said "It was just enough picture - but thank you for liking it so much". Talking to him was the first time I discovered that there were the missing scenes - sadly, as we know, the only material that exists is picture without sound, and sound without picture - so a complete, true "director's cut" can never be assembled. But it's interesting to see fragments of this material on the dvd. And the film remains a late, great melancholy Wilder masterpiece.

Tho his website makes the claim that he's the only actor to have played both Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes. Nitpicking aside, this is a wonderful movie. Colin Blakely is great in this, tho there's comparatively little movie work of his - he was a big face on TV in the UK in the 1960s and 70s. There's a great late 1960s Dennis Potter TV play called SON OF MAN which stars Blakely as Jesus - he's phenomenal in that.

I too love this film, and the wonderful score. I saw it when I was a kid and much of it went over my head, but loved the fact the Loch Ness Monster was in it... sort of! On occasions the jumps between out-right humour and the underlying darkness jar a little but not enough to take the edge off the film. Fabulous and a little sad as well.

Christopher Lee has one of the more interesting resumes when it comes to Sherlockian productions, having played Holmes, Mycroft and Sir Henry Baskerville. But many other actors have played multiple Sherlockian characters. In an earlier post, I mentioned Reginald Denny and Jeremy Brett. Here are some others of note... Richard E. Grant played both Mycroft and Stapleton in different TV productions in the same year (2002). And Ian Hart not only played Watson twice on TV, he also played Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in Finding Neverland. I'm sure there are many other examples not yet mentioned...

One - to true Holmes fans, it's always 'Holmes and Watson', never Sherlock and Watson. To my knowledge, Mycroft Holmes was the only character to ever call Holmes by his given name. Second, although The Sign Of Four is the first Holmes story, I'd recommend The Hound Of The Baskervilles. I read this in 6th grade. It captivated me then and it still does today (MUCH later). The atmosphere Doyle manages to construct draws the reader in even more than the story, which is quite good, and the climax is amazing. Creepy moments abound. Whatever movie version you might have seen does not begin to do justice to it. It was this book that led to my lifelong appreciation for Holmes and Watson. I envy you. Buy that book and get ready to enjoy many evenings of solid reading.

Rupert Everett played Holmes just the other night on the BBC in 'The Case of the Silk Stocking', a repeat from '04. He wasn't bad, but was too young for the particular period this story was set in; later Holmes. Another brilliant version, and so close to Sydney Paget's illustrations was Douglas Wilmer.

But I love the Movie a Day feature!! I have really enjoyed the reviews/discussions of the movies I've seen and had my interest piqued by those I haven't. I was under the impression that you were going to do this for a whole year. I'm sure there have been times when seeing and writing about a movie every day must have seemed like a burden, but what an education in film it has been for all of us. I'm sorry it will be over soon and I'm going to miss it a lot. Although I am a long-time reader of AICN, I almost never post because of the generally juvenile tone if the talk-backs, but AMaD even has good talk-backs.

You're right! Let's not waste a rare moment here! What are some of your other favorite Holmes on film? Jeremy Brett was the king of course. I'm a big fan of The Seven Per Cent Solution and A Study in Terror. Although I like most of Bob Clark's movies, Murder By Decree always left me a little cold. It was almost as if they quit trying once they found a deerstalker cap and a giant magnifying glass for Christopher Plummer. The TV version of The Crucifer of Blood was a huge letdown for any of us lucky enough to have seen the awesome Broadway production.

I was thinking of Sign of Four in my earlier post because that was where Watson decided to get married. I wonder if, later on, Doyle thought of that move as a mistake. THe lovely Mary seemed to disappear in later stories. In any case, IMHO, a true Holmes adventure has to begin on a foggy night with Holmes and Watson in the sitting room at 221B. Or Holmes standing over Watson's bed in the dead of night, telling him to get up, that the game's afoot. Oh, and btw, where the heck did Watson take that Jezeel bullit??? On last thing - good screen name. Many fine actors have portrayed Holmes, but Rathbone WAS Holmes.

I was raised on Brett, so he will always be my ideal. But Rathbone was so damn suave. Loved him in Hound. Unfortunately the series went off track when it switched from Fox to Universal and abandoned the period setting. Of the later films, I think the Scarlet Claw has the most atmosphere. While it's far from Doyle's writing, I can't help by enjoy Young Sherlock Holmes. My wife even let me hang the original movie poster in our bedroom.

These discussions are what we talked about late night in the video store while closing making 3.50 an hour, when VHS tapes were 3 pounds, and the only thing that was letterboxed was the drop box. It got me back to watching almost a movie a night. Now here is my best of list......just kidding
Jan. 1, 2009, 8:59 p.m. CST
by Paul Bucciarelli
Brag away! What exactly is the art that you have? Back to the movie at hand: What makes Wilder so damn brilliant is his ability to effortlessly go from genre to genre. He never let his personal stamp get in the way of the story. And you actually had to listen to movies back then. The audience was required to do more than sit there slack jawed, watching the latest camera and computer eye candy. Let's see today's post-MTV, style over substance darlings do that.

Sy Weintraub produced the Tarzan series between 1959 and 1968 (1971 if you consider the 2 movies he released to Theaters, that were actually 2 part episodes of the Ron Ely TV series edited together). I'm not alone in saying that his Tarzan's Greatest Adventure is the best Tarzan movie. He also produced The Sign Of Four and Hound Of The Baskervilles for British TV in 1983, both of which are excellent, especially Hound, right up there with the best Holmes on screen. In A Study In Scarlet, Doyle's first Holmes story, the mystery involves the Mormons, including Brigham Young, who are portrayed as a frightening, fanatical cult not above murder in dealing with those who would stray from the teachings. Probably why it's never been done on screen (unless there's a silent version I don't know about).

Unfortunately for every good Holmes there are ten terrible Holmes - Roger Moore, Matt Frewer, Ian Richardson, Peter Cook, Charlton Heston, Frank Langella, Edward Woodward and this may sound like heresy but I do not get this fascination with Hound of the Baskervilles - which chickens out from being supernatural and has a story that seperates Holmes and Watson for most of the story.

My favourite, non Cona-Doyle stories are Masks of Death, Murder by Decree, Private Life and the Seven Percent Solution.

Without checking IMDB, I'm pretty sure that Reginald Denny filmed a version of A Study In Scarlet back in the 30s.

But I've heard very good things...

Burke was the more physical and more comedic Watson. But his emotion in The Final Problem was touching. Still, I prefer the more cerebral Hardwicke. Maybe it's because of the way he stuck beside Brett during the emotional turmoil of his final years.

I enjoyed 7% Solution, even though it opened the door for too much armchair psychiatry that tends to paint Holmes as a victim. The West End Horror and The Canary Trainer were both fun reads, but never quite recaptured the zeitgeist of his first book. As for other pastiches... I thought Michael Chabon really captured Holmes' voice in The Final Problem, at least up until the story went off the rails in the last chapter. I also consistently enjoy Laurie King's Mary Russell series.

Paul Bucciarelli I've bene trying to get through Carr's take on Holmes for a couple of years now, it's well written I just don't think it moves along as fast as Doyle did or even Carr did with THE ALIENEST...and yes we need an ALIENEST and ANGEL OF DARKNESS series...and I wish carr would write more with those char.

All this talk of Holmes reminded me "They Might Be Giants" from the early 70's, with George C. Scott as an insane man who thinks he is Sherlock Holmes, and Joanne Woodward as his shrink whose last name happens to be Watson. I don't know if any of you guys saw it, but I found it to be enjoyable.

I've read all three of them, yes. I'd have to agree with Rathbone. They're fine, but they lack the ingenuity of the first. That's sort of a pattern with Meyer, though. The more familiar he gets with a property, the more license he has to play with it, the more he starts to believe his farts don't smell. He did the same thing when he had creative control of the Star Trek films. Regardless, of his other Holmes novels, I slightly preferred 'The Canary Trainer' over 'The West End Horror'. Although, the G.B. Shaw cameo in 'Horror' was cute.

Nicol Williamson is amazing as Holmes, Duvall delivers a a gimpy but still feisty pit-bull interpretation of Watson that is not to be missed. Plus you've got Alan Arkin as young Sigmund Freud!
 A remarkable film from most points of consideration: production design, cinematography, some thrilling old school practical effects action sequences, costumes lighting, well done all round. IMO the film has a couple of minor script and pacing issues and one glaring continuity error. Watch closely and see if you notice it. A rousing watch, minor flaws at best, cool as shit movie.

When They Lived the Impossible: Multi-Nationalist Voices in the Mid-Nineteenth-Century Habsburg Adriatic
Dominique Kirchner Reill, assistant professor of history at the University of Miami, has produced a pioneering work that challenges stubborn notions of exclusive nationalism's inevitable rise in nineteenth-century Europe. Reill's impressive first book exemplifies the best of the historian's craft. As she diligently scours still neglected regional archives throughout the northern Adriatic, the book interweaves jewels of insight into a finely crafted narrative about the intellectual journeys of six natives of the northern Adriatic. By tenderly easing her insights gained from inspecting private correspondences, newspaper articles, and an occasional government document into a lucidly presented story, this complex book is as much engaging as revelatory. In this respect, I found myself thoroughly drawn to this study meshed together by a talented historian who uses disparate sources to make compelling arguments about an often-neglected part of the Habsburg Empire. From the start, therefore, I must enthusiastically encourage colleagues to read, cite, and then teach this book.
At the heart of Reill's work is the quite reasonable observation that much of the scholarship on the Habsburg Empire neglects to fully integrate what, well into the 1850s, were still firmly connected social spaces that cut across (or bridged) anachronistically drawn linguistic, "ethno-national" lines. Reill's research exposes the productive interaction between activists in these multilingual imperial spaces, especially in the Habsburg's northern Adriatic regions of Dalmatia, Venice, and Trieste. It is there that productive interactions between advocates for greater collaboration in both the fine arts and political debate complemented a booming regional economy. As a fine cultural and intellectual history, therefore, this is a suggestive study of the early modern pluralism cultivated by talented advocates from regions enjoying a period of economic expansion.
As Reill carefully explains throughout the first half of the book, in the hands of explicitly "pluralistic-minded" writers, the region's "diversity" acted as the launching pad for an expansion of mediated exchanges between those cultivating ambiguously "nationalist" sensibilities. Importantly, Reill warns us that soon after 1848, these same exponents of "multi-nationalism" took an entirely different ideological path. That being said, such trajectories should not distract us from appreciating the earlier period of exchange. Reill's work, in this regard, crucially avoids letting the subsequent decades of ethno-nationalism dictate how we read not only individual works of future "nationalist" heroes (as all six men would become), but also their infinitely more complex, and in my estimation, more appealing, sociopolitical Adriatic contexts.
As such, this excellent book contributes to a body of scholarship arguing that some forms of nationalism--be it Ottoman, Habsburg, Italian, or Slavic--were not necessarily antagonistic to the premodern social, linguistic, and spiritual pluralism found throughout the Mediterranean world. As Holly Case, Pieter Judson, Tara Zahra, and Alison Frank have recently demonstrated, the "nation" in the east-central European context remained flexible and ultimately resistant to calls for exclusivist projects only later realized in their full, destructive form. Reill's work is thus an invaluable complement to, if not crucial expansion of, already well-established challenges to conventions about nationalism in eastern Europe. In this respect, Nationalists Who Feared the Nation should be added to our respective graduate reading lists.
Reill is able to make this complicated counternarrative work because she uses a refreshingly wide range of sources. Flaunting her linguistic skills in Italian, Serbo-Croatian, and German, Reill drives home in pleasingly lucid detail the hitherto neglected reality that the Habsburg Empire's coastal extensions were as much an intercultural amalgamation as the so-called heartland that long fused Maygar, German, and Slav cultures. Reill beautifully infuses her tirelessly subtle interpretations of the personal papers of six quite different men--Stipan Ivičević, Ivan August Kaznačić, Niccolò Tommaseo, Pacifico Valussi, Medo Pucić, and Francesco Dall'Ongaro--thereby breaking down the nationalist historiographies that obscure a different set of possible social orientations in the first half of the nineteenth century. In the process, Reill identifies in the plethora of materials produced by these men attempts to constitute a system of mutually sustaining nations within a supranational body, a type of "Adriatic multi-nationalism" that would reflect the possibilities for sustaining Habsburg (and Ottoman further south, I would add) pluralism in face of competing, but still not yet preferred, separatist nationalist projects. Put differently, the advocacy Reill explores must be read within a "multi-national" Habsburg context; the work of these six men aimed to promote harmonizing the imperial future as much as advocating its demise.
In this invaluable contribution to how we study nineteenth-century nationalism, Reill's theoretically sophisticated claims hinge on capturing the full diversity of ideas, thoughts, reactions, and propositions expressed by these six men. Each one could be placed within the mythology of Slavic or Italian nationalism. Indeed, Dall'Ongaro and Tommaseo are often identified today as having left an imprint on separatist Italian and Pan-Slavic agendas respectively. But Reill rightly insists that we need to read the entire body of work of these men and consider the temporary social, professional, and scholarly networks in which they worked. The larger settings shaped by a group of mid-nineteenth-century elites who sought to harmonize the otherwise exclusivist nationalism with cultural pluralism thus suggest that a "movement" had found a perfect time and place prior to 1848 to act.
To these "fearful nationalists," the multilingual cultural spaces in which they thrived--fusing regional Slav and Italian (while largely neglecting German) cultural production--reflected both the trade that made Trieste so successful and a challenge to those political entrepreneurs soon to transform Europe in 1848. At the heart of this Adriatic "idealist" campaign, therefore, was a pragmatism that should have appealed to liberals of the era. There were indeed commercial gains from fully integrating the multiple Slavo-Italian communities in Dalmatia with the Venetian and Trieste maritime networks. As long as coastal incubators of a fused Italian/Slavic multi-nationalism produced wealth, the appeal of chauvinistic ideologues would suffer. More important for men of letters like Tommaseo ("Il Dalmato") who mastered regional dialects and flourished as a hybrid national poet and critic, such "bridge-making" also promised new cultural innovations. Although interesting, Reill may have fallen victim to the overwhelming productivity of these men as advocates for cultural fusion. What is underemphasized is the political economy of the Adriatic's cultural dynamism, both as a reflection of its economic successes and as the subsequent demise in face of Venetian rebellion in 1848.
As amply demonstrated by Reill's research, the rise of a new consciousness, termed by Ivičević as "Slavodamatian," extended the prevailing Illyrianism in the Adriatic hinterland to incorporate Tommaseo's humanism as a facilitator for commercial growth. This, what some would identify as Pan-Slavism, in effect was used to service a Dalmatian sensibility for building the region's links to the commercial hubs in Venice and Trieste (and Ottoman Bosnia) as much as orientate the region to an exclusive Slavic homeland. This value added to each region's economy by harmonizing "differences" in a self-consciously "creole" setting needs highlighting. As the banking and merchant patrons of these Adriatic intellectuals clearly appreciated, there was much to lose if commercial links were broken by exclusivist nationalism in the region. Through the patronage of Trieste's cultural/literary journal La Favilla (The spark)--edited by Dall'Ongaro who later added Valussi to its ranks--by the city's most trade-dependent company, Lloyd Austraco, the most talented advocates for this "multi-national" movement found a welcome platform to promote a new, integrated Adriatic space. Perhaps the most important contributor to this effort through the journal was Tommaseo himself, whose commentaries about multi-nationalism proved crucial to the spread of this vision to Dalmatia.
As a result of his inspiring (and also controversial) treatments, a fruitful mentorship ensued, according to Reill, one that clearly showed the embrace of Tommaseo's initiatives by three Dalmatian natives. How Ivičević and to a lesser extent Kaznačić and Pucić engaged the multi-national project after Tommaseo's publication of his ground-breaking study Iskrice (Sparkles) in 1844 obviously speaks of an enthusiasm for further developing Dalmatian and, by extension, Slavic consciousness in a larger Habsburg Adriatic context. It is within these dense contours that Reill is perhaps too subtle. The promise of economic gain as much as cultural development clearly occupied many among the broad audience of these writers and probably accounts to a great extent the continued financial support for their efforts.
Of course, one cannot really fault Reill for so thoroughly studying Tommaseo's appreciation of regional dialects or local folklore at the expense of de-emphasizing the economic concerns of both his financial backers and readers. In fact, cultural historians will do themselves a favor by using this book's sensitivity to the details of Tommaseo's evolution as the main proponent for a new cultural order that offered Europe an alternative trajectory in the nineteenth century. For their part, graduate students beginning their careers should consider themselves fortunate to have such a trailblazer like Reill opening new channels of inquiry in this larger "European-wide project of creating a brotherhood of nations" (p. 153). The fascinating life that this chief advocate of Adriatic multi-nationalism led as he crisscrossed the Mediterranean and its ever-shifting political currents reminds us that the place as well as the time was crucial to shaping political orientations. In this regard, it is the Adriatic that was as much the source from which Tommaseo drew to articulate his changing sensibilities as a barrier to ever realizing his project.
Reill excels in these well-crafted pages, successfully arguing that it was Tommaseo's unending energy that initiated this movement's expansion into even obscure corners of Dalmatia, like Makarska. While Italian and Slavic scholars alike have selectively ignored those sizable portions of Tommaseo's work that do not fit their respective "nationalist" narratives, Reill convincingly attributes the diversity of this man's work to the (temporary, it turns out) conversion of others to the larger agenda. Indeed, one is almost overwhelmed by Reill's invaluable fusion of Tommaseo's writings, almost forgetting that his interactions with others were equally crucial, a point often forgotten by those hagiographies found in the Croatian and Italian nationalist scholarship of the twentieth century.
In her subtle infusion of direct quotations from Tommaseo's disparate works in both Italian and regional Slavic (Serbo-Croatian), Reill leaves no doubt that scholars in the future must incorporate this man's particular contribution to regional and trans-regional history. And yet, despite all the attention his advocacy attracted, Reill exposes just how quickly Tommaseo's "idealism" crumbled under the force of war. Nationalists Who Feared the Nation thus charts the subtle ideological transitions that gradually pulled former disciples of Tommaseo's project away from their Adriatic multi-nationalism. In time, they gravitated to a form of separatism during the 1848-49 battles that degenerated into the ugly language of nationalist chauvinism promoted in the period's media.
As with the first part of the book, in the second half, Reill excels in fusing the plethora of sources produced in this period into a readable narrative, demonstrating how Dall'Ongaro, for example, in face of Vienna's power grab, abandoned Adriatic multi-nationalism and enthusiastically supported Venice's fight for independence. While this entire section offers the suggestive link to a "new rhythm of political activity" that ultimately brought starvation to Venetians and an inevitable "rupture" to trans-regional sensibilities, its carefully laid out processes do not necessarily translate into a satisfying final analysis of just how this "rupture" affected the principal actors in this book (pp. 155, 159-62). In what reads as a far more sudden transition than may have actually played out, the story after 1848 rapidly comes to an end with former champions of multi-nationalism going their own ways. We learn rather abruptly that the events leading to war in the region in 1848 reflected the demise of the multi-nationalist agenda, with only Tommaseo and two of his former allies sticking to their passions for an integrated Adriatic world. Although Reill does offer some insight into how Tommaseo and the others reacted, considering the wealth of information provided in tireless detail in the first part of the book, this reader feels the story is incomplete.
We are told in a few pages that Valussi hinged his multi-nationalist agenda to a Swiss model for the region while Ivičević continued to advocate for an interlingua "Pangrafia" under different terms. As it became increasingly clear due to the crude anti-Slavic rhetoric that intellectuals from Venice (including Dall'Ongaro) instilled in the larger cultural context after 1848, Ivičević in particular had to reconfigure his universalistic strategies for forging a common language to facilitate integrating the larger Adriatic to one that served the creation of a tolerant, greater Dalmatia. This was a strategic reorientation on Ivičević's part that increasingly gravitated to the much more obvious "inward" shift of his former allies, Kaznačić and Pucić, who now saw once interrelated trade links serving separate national agendas exclusively. As Reill terms it, "outward-looking Adriatic multi-nationalism turned inward, and the Adriatic became not merely a filter for communication but came to represent a border for action and development" (p. 232). The problem is this is all presented in a rather breathless flash at the end of the book, offering us far less of the detail Reill so masterfully provides in the first part. I get the sense that Reill can do more with this. As such, far from a criticism, I hope that Reill will elaborate in another book!
Despite my enthusiastic praise for the book, it is not quite so satisfying that this story fails to engage more of the entire Adriatic region. The very cosmopolitan dynamism Reill finds in Trieste, for example, is equally observed in other port towns. Reill could have fleshed out better the atmospherics of these heterogeneous port towns throughout Dalmatia and northeastern Adriatic, perhaps as Julia Clancy-Smith did recently in her Mediterraneans: North Africa and Europe in an Age of Migration, c. 1800-1900 (2011). In other words, Reill clearly appreciates Trieste (and much less so Dalmatian ports) for their vibrancy but misses an opportunity to let the dynamism of these port towns' interregional linkages come to the surface.
The author may also unintentionally reinforce the eternal divide between "East and West" that still poisons the literature. By sticking so close to the geographies determined by state authority in the first half of the nineteenth century, Reill neglects the Adriatic's expanded dynamism. Surely, by drawing from studies on the Ottoman/Habsburg borderlands by Tijana Kristić, Maurus Reinkowski, George Gavrilis, Katherine Fleming, Ebru Boyar, Oliver Jens Schmitt, Molly Greene, Gelina Harlaftis, Kahraman Şakul, and me, Reill would have given the reader greater depth into, for instance, Ivičević's aim to integrate Makarska/Dalamtia's Bosnian hinterland. There is ample evidence of commercial (and thus diplomatic) interactions between the so-called Orient and Habsburg territories that could bring added depth to Reill's perhaps too shapely defined region. In other words, engaging the scholarship of those writing about the exploits of Ali Pasha Tepelena in Arta, the Bushati family in Ulqin and Shkodër, and Greek independence and corresponding events in Serbia/Montenegro could have given the novice a broader appreciation of the entire Adriatic as space of cultural and commercial exchange.
With this in mind, it is in fact odd that nothing more substantive about these exchanges across boundaries appears in Reill's research. In the Ottoman and Habsburg archives, there is a plethora of documents available that suggest Ottoman port towns, like Dulcino (Ulqin), Antivar (Bar), and Işkodra (Shkodër), enjoyed constant exchanges with Trieste, Ragusa (Dubrovnik), Zadar, and Venetian-based merchants. Indeed many of the top commercial families in Ottoman Adriatic port towns had offices in Trieste, Dubrovnik, and Venice. This angle to the story appears prisoner to those sectarian/linguistic divides still evident in Habsburg versus Ottoman studies. As a result, readers will have to wait for someone else to feed off of Reill's inspired work and further elaborate on an integrated nineteenth-century world that cuts through the disciplinary divides between Ottomanists and those studying the "rest" of Europe.
Of course, this is nitpicking. Reill's work deserves singular praise, not calls for her to add more to a scholarly gem. In this astute, well-crafted challenge for historians to think again about the nineteenth-century nation-state, Reill revisits some of the modern heroes of Italian, Pan-Slavic, and Croatian nationalist thought to remind us the value of avoiding resorting to hindsight. In the process, she reminds us of the joys of a good writer. Reill is an excellent scholar whose work is both invigorating and original. I, for one, cannot wait for her next book.

I spent several hours yesterday morning talking art with my neighbour, a young woman who teaches print making and drawing and who has just been hired at a fabulous, art minded, already welcoming her with open arms, university in Alberta. It's an amazing opportunity for her. I'm almost jealous.
Among other things, I showed her the finished secret project and this pile of purse potential. Other than the handles, no decisions have been made. It's only possible bits and pieces for now. We'll see what actually makes it into the mix when I'm done. Soon. I hope. Along with tree decorating with the boys (young men) on Sunday afternoon, stitching the bag is my weekend priority.
I've made a surprising number of purses over the years. One of my favourite purse projects was five from the same starting point...
... a quilted table throw. In the picture above, the throw has been over dyed and cut up into equal parts plus a middle section that I can't remember what I did with.
When I'm creating an art piece, it's done one step at a time with only a minimal idea of the outcome. With this project, all I knew was that the end result would be purses. Because they had the same starting point, I was able to chose five of the first step ideas even though I had far more than five ideas. All the rest were unexplored paths. Think about that. We can have an endless list of ideas at each step of a project but we can only follow one. That may sound paralyzing and yet if you work on a project like this you'll find it's actually rather freeing because...
... for each purse there were also a myriad of second step ideas of which only one could be explored and the rest were again unexplored paths. Pick one. Do something. Get going. There is not just one right path. There are many. If you're a perfectionist in any way, that's an intriguing thought to follow up. You can only choose one idea. Numerous choices will not be explored. All choices will lead to an ending. All endings are equally valuable. There is - in fact - NOT just one right answer.
For me, that was incredibly freeing and learning that I wish had come much earlier in my life. One starting point, five journeys, five functioning purses, all beautiful, all loved by their owners, not all to my taste, and that's okay because it's the journey that teaches us so much. The process not the product.
The journey taught me not to be afraid to make choices, to enjoy seeing where those choices led, to evaluate and adjust along the way, to change my mind, to be brave, to risk. It emphasized yet once again that we learn to do by doing and that by doing, we build our skill sets and as we build our skill sets, our hands begin to flow with ease while our minds bubble with creativity. The results of our efforts improve piece by piece.
It's an evolution through which you become increasingly less product oriented and increasingly more process oriented. And it's not just in art. The learning is completely transferable to many areas of life, even fashion sewing. Later on down the line, when you're making a paint-by-number-ish pattern and it doesn't end up looking the way you had hoped it would look, you'll realize that...
... the failure would be to not take it further. See what happens. An assignment I used to give my students was to create an art piece starting with something ugly. The reaction was usually intense. You'd have thought I was asking them to commit murder but once they grasped the concept - it's already ugly, what more could I do to it - they also grasped the freedom. And that's when magic happens.
Magic that may not be the resulting product. It's quite possible that that could still be ugly. Magic is the realization that fabric is still fabric even if it's currently stitched into some shape, that the point of any journey is the learning, and that all results are success because success is finishing. Masterpieces are a bonus.

I took your self expressions class. I still have the project using the "ugly" fabric on my wall. It turned out to be a favorite-- who knew? Thank you for the lessons learned in that class, and for the journey you are sharing.ReplyDelete
THANK YOU - it's lovely to hear that those lessons are still resonating. I loved teaching them.ReplyDelete

The People's Millions: Who Do You Vote For?
The People's Millions, a lottery fund, has £50M ($101M US) to award to the best proposal for an environmental project in the UK. And the winner will be decided by the television-watching public who will vote after seeing each group on the short-list present their case. Sort of like Big Brother for the environment. In principle it is hard to support lotteries--if a scheme is that important to the nation, then the government, using our hard-earned taxpayers' money, should pay for it. However that's an argument that has been lost with changing times and economies. So let's hear it for this lottery and the 4 worthwhile finalists.
Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood, has Europe's greatest collection of ancient oak trees, some more than 1,000 years old (pictured), which are endangered. They want to undertake a huge replanting programme: 250,000 trees over 350 acres. A project to develop the canals and waterways in Somerset would link communities and stabilise an area with recurrent flooding. The Eden Project wants to develop a climate change theme park that would show how we might survive the impact of global warming. A national bicycle trail to encourage cycling is another candidate. :: The Observer

GO FISHING is a look at the area fishing scene through the eyes of local charter boat captains and fishing guides.
This week good friend Tony Cimino and I went inshore fishing for monster snook.
As many of you know this is a waiting game. We started by netting up a well full of greenbacks and then headed for our spot at the beginning of the incoming tide.
Our first stop produced jack after jack. I told Tony that when the jacks are out-snookin the snook, it's time to go.
On our next spot, we were there only about 15 minutes before I hooked and landed a 39-inch, 20-pound snook, and according to protocol I started talking smack.
Tony was a good sport, taking it in stride when all of a sudden a depth charge goes off on his line. The fight took a good 10 minutes, using only 10-pound test main line and 20-pound leader,
Tony lands a 45½-inch snookasaurus that came in at 26 pounds.
Needless to say, my snack talking slowed as Tony's picked up — a bunch. But isn't that the fun of it? Good times, good friends, good memories.
We finished the day with a limit of speckled trout in the 17- to 19-inch range for the supper table.
Offshore, the mackerel bite is on fire. The Spanish bite seems to be better that the kings, but according to captain Glen Taylor, keep you eyes open for cobia — large ones as they will come up to the chum.
Typically the cobia are smaller but this year they are all keepers, Taylor said.
Also, the gag grouper bite is on from 30-60 feet of water. They will continue to move in close as the water temperature continues to drop.
Catch Billy Nobles and Mike Anderson on the "Reel Animals Fishing Show" on Saturdays from 6:30-7 a.m. on WFLA, Ch. 8, and from 6-9 a.m. on 970 AM, and on Sundays from 7-9 a.m. on 620 AM. To book a charter, call 1-866-GAMEFISH or visit www.reelanimalsfishingshow.com.

Whoever decided that only liberals could be environmentalists after World War II forgot to alert Barry Goldwater.
The conservative Arizona senator apparently never got that memo, given how in 1970 he considered the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency a necessary exercise of federal authority.
And voters who associate green sentiments with blue-state politicians may forget how the 1964 Republican presidential nominee often felt at home with conservation measures, said Brian Allen Drake, author of "Loving Nature, Fearing the State: Environmentalism and Antigovernment Politics Before Reagan."
"Goldwater grew up in the deserts of Arizona, which were as important to him as his political beliefs," said Drake, who lectures at the University of Georgia.
"It is fascinating to watch Goldwater try to be the anti-New Deal Republican who believed the environment still needed to be protected from the free market system."
Goldwater's positions sometimes appeared to contradict one another, Drake said. Goldwater was a critic of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the New Deal flood control and power-generating project that he once described as "galloping socialism." Still, Goldwater often supported reclamation projects in Arizona that promised aggressive water management and improved irrigation. Those measures, Goldwater believed, could both empower residents and eventually pay for themselves.
It's true, Drake writes, that Goldwater probably wouldn't have held office in Arizona for long if he hadn't supported such projects.
But Goldwater also was famously contrary. He supported Planned Parenthood as well as the right of gays to enlist in the armed services during the 1990s.
"I love it when historical figures go in directions you don't expect," said Drake, who in 2006 earned his doctorate in American environmental history at the University of Kansas.
"It says something about Goldwater, that he was not as one-dimensional as either his supporters or opponents made him out to be."
Goldwater's take on climate change could have been just as idiosyncratic, Drake added.
"I can see him being concerned about global warming, especially the national security component of it," he said. "Having said that, he also would have been skeptical to overreacting to it."
Drake speaks at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Central Library, 14 W. 10th St. For info, go to kclibrary.org.
