Why’s William freaking out?

- @henryemily1948

.......I told him a past version of him was about to be killed. Neither of us know what'll happen.

Long story short, news came out, Catlin got fired, past Will- "Evan"- replaced her, and an evil version of my Henry was sent to kill him to put things right again.

Portraits of Thomas Jefferson, Sorted generally in order of my preference.

Edgehill Portrait by Gilbert Stuart

I quite like Gilbert Stuart's portraits, as a general rule. He did iconic portraits of Washington, Madison, Jay, Adamses, and Monroe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Stuart. I think I like that they seem more 'republican' (small r) than aristocratic, with their muted colors and generally conservative dress (except for military officers who were painted in uniform).

In the version of the painting with a brown background from 1821, Jefferson's eyes are vibrant and captivating. The Edgehill portrait (blue background) was a family favorite and is generally agreed to be a good likeness.

John Trumbull, 1788 (depicting Jefferson as he looked in 1776, as part of the process of creating his Declaration of Independence painting). My preference is generally for portraits of the younger Jefferson,  with the red hair, more brightly colored clothes, and generally more youthful and slender appearance.

Charles Wilson Peale, 1791-1792

I like this portrait of a slightly younger Jefferson, featuring not-yet-totally gray hair. Love the upturned collar as well.

John Trumbull, 1788. This Jefferson is much more European than the Trumbull's other depiction.

Medallion Portrait by Gilbert Stuart

Similar to a Ceracchi bust, which was lost in a fire at the Library of Congress, this work portrays Jefferson in a style reminiscent of Rome. The fact that he and his family liked both 'Roman' versions may be because they appreciated the connection to Rome, or because, as they claimed, the likenesses were very good. Jefferson looks strong and muscular in this image.

Official Presidential Portrait by Rembrandt Peale, 1800

This is a very common image of Jefferson, but I don't have very strong positive or negative feelings about it. It's certainly very familiar. I feel like he is looking directly at me, and generally I don't feel very good about that (for example when I was reading The Art of Power and had to flip the book over every time I put it down because I couldn't take Jefferson staring at me).

Aquatint by Michel Sokolnicki (1760-1816), engraver, after Thaddeus Kosciuszko (1746-1817)

I was really hoping to like the Kosciuszko drawing, because wouldn't it be charming to have a portrait done by his friend. And I heard it was bad, but I was hoping it was bad in a likeable sort of way. But no, it's not charming; Jefferson looks rather angry and unlikeable. At least it got this quote from William Thornton:

"[W]hen I saw it, I did not wonder that he lost Poland—not that it is necessary a Genl should be a Painter, but he should be a man of such Sense as to discover that he is not a Painter."

Pasted from <https://www.monticello.org/research-education/thomas-jefferson-encyclopedia/jefferson-engraving-sokolnicki-engraving/>

Rembrandt Peale, 1805

I've never really been fond of this portrait. Probably because of the coat. I suppose it doesn't mesh well with the image in my head of a lithe, slender Jefferson. I'd rather see whatever red/orange coat he's wearing underneath.

Thomas Sully, 1821 (Copy by George Catlin). Jefferson wasn't captured in many full-length portraits; part of me wishes we had more. His head looks like it has been chopped off at the top, and he is hidden under many layers of clothing (and still wearing that hideous fur coat, or at least a similar one).

Mather Brown, 1786

Generally agreed to be a bad likeness of Jefferson, and depicting him of an irregularly European character. However, at least the painting is pleasant to look at.

By Charles Peale Polk, 1799-1820. It looks like the artist was working from one of Charles Wilson Peale's paintings, butchered Jefferson's hair, and dressed him in the outfit from Rembrandt Peale's presidential portrait.

Engraving by John B. Neagle, 4 Nov 1796 - 17 Sep 1865

Copy after Bass Otis, 1784 - 1861

Jefferson looks pained in this portrait (done in 1816). His hair looks almost feminine and his face seems distorted. William Thornton described it as an "injustice".

Dublin Uncovered - Discovering the City's Rich History and Heritage

Dublin's rich heritage and history are part of its fabric. These top tourist attractions will let you know more about the city's proud history. This former prison has been turned into a museum which provides a history of Ireland's turbulent past. This is a must see attraction. Native Americans Prior to the beginning of the 1800s, Native American tribes made their homes in the area now called Dublin. The lush landscape of the area and easy access to wildlife and water as well as its natural beauty was a great location to establish tribal communities. Ferris-Wright Park is home to several earthworks and burial mounds which date to thousands of years ago. You can also explore the farm and homestead of the 1800s. William Catlin, a famous explorer, naturalist and painter who traveled the United States in the early nineteenth century alongside Native American tribes. While his views of the Indians was more sympathetic, he offered us a glimpse of their culture and lifestyle. Vikings The Vikings created a significant impact on Dublin by constructing new structures and altering the lives of the people. Conditions for middle - and upper-class citizens were greatly improved during their time in Dublin. Chimneys became standard and glass windows were also introduced. Archaeological digs in Dublin, York and elsewhere have uncovered a wealth of details about the Vikings. The remains of the excavations were well preserved since the sites excavated at Fishamble Street were flooded, permitting the preservation of manufactured and trade items as well as dwellings for residential use (Bradley 1984). Visit the Viking Exhibition in Dublinia. There, you can try on a horned helmet and attempt understanding the Viking runic alphabet. The Viking Ship Museum also shows the visitors the experience of having to be on the Viking vessel and the dangers the long voyages were. Early Christians In the 460s, before in the 460s, when Saint Patrick began his travels throughout Ireland, a tiny Celtic church had already been built on this spot. This church was part the larger enclosure, which included a hospital, a hostel for travelers as well as a hostel. It is based on archeological evidence that suggests that the first Christian community of Dublin was prosperous. Tools for manufacturing such as needles and spindles were found, as have board games and other toys, and even the whalebone "ironing board" which was used to smooth the cloth. Grave products such as silver coins such as coin-dies, coin-dies, and leather "testers" are evidence of large volume of trade. Furthermore, a uniform system of measuring and weights has been established. The discovery of keels, stems and ship planks that were nailed to the keels suggests that Scandinavian techniques were employed in building ships.

Medieval Times The streets of Dublin are filled with history - tavern symbols, drinking jugs of ice and cow horns have been found in archaeological digs. But what would Dublin appear like in Viking and Medieval times? This animated video from the City Archaeology Team gives you an insight into the city's appearance in the medieval and Viking eras. It's amazing what occurs when you take off the surface of an modern city. Archaeologists are digging the streets of the capital to prepare for the Luas Cross City project. They've uncovered traces of history which have helped to shape the city's character over the past hundreds of years. From uncovering the site of a tanning facility from the medieval era to locating mass graves from an outbreak of cholera (which was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula) this book examines the numerous discoveries that were made. Modern Times Dublin is an excellent way to discover more about Irish tradition and history. There are numerous museums you can visit, and the city is full of historical sights. Dublin's main museums are all accessible for free, but certain museums do have special temporary exhibits. EPIC is the most visited museum in Dublin (fee). This interactive and unique experience traces the story of Ireland in the realm of literature, music and sport. It also includes fashion, politics, science, and fashion. The Guinness Storehouse is another museum worth a visit (fee). It's a fantastic place to discover more about Guinness its history and also to enjoy their famous beer. It is a great choice for families. Video credits: YouTube

“

23 Skidoo took their name from an American slang phrase translating loosely as 'move it', or 'get out while the going is good'. This same philosophy - cut, run, & confound - would become a guiding principle for this unique, unorthodox group. They lifted the name from the famous Illuminati trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson & Robert Shea but 23 Skidoo has also had a place of prominence in the works of Aleister Crowley & William S. Burroughs (a favorite of the band). 

The origins of 23 Skidoo lie in a punk-inspired schoolboy trio formed in North London in 1979. By 1980, the 23 Skidoo collective had become a quartet, comprising Fritz Catlin on drums, Sam Mills on guitar, Johnny Turnbull on guitar & Patrick Griffiths on bass. They were soon joined by Alex Turnbull on percussion, drums, bass & Tom Heslop on vocals, electronics, saxophone. 

23 Skidoo released a series of highly influential records fusing post-punk, dub, industrial, world, & hip-hop styles. Their influences ranged from The Pop Group to Parliament to Fela Kuti to Can to Eno to This Heat. 

Their first single, Last Words reference Burroughs. Tom Heslop commented: ''Certainly I read a lot of William Burroughs, and we've played with the cut-up thing. Oh yeah, it works. It always comes out with some meaning, even if it's a bit strange.'' “

Library Research Reflection

This scavenger hunt and research made me experience what it was like to dive into my topic. I got to look at different types of sources that I haven’t really used before. The library database was super helpful in finding the specific research materials I was looking for. The keywords that helped me when researching my topic were the Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman, history, taxes, and money. I had a lot of articles and papers showing up at first so I had to get a little more specific to find my two physical books and my Ebook. There were quite a few resources talking about the issues with taxes and money laundering in the Caribbean which I wasn’t really expecting to find. Both of my physical books, the one I checked out from the library, Offshore: The Dark Side of the Global Economy by William Brittain-Catlin, and the one I requested, Treasure Islands: Tax Havens and The Men Who Stole The World by Nicholas Shaxson, were specifically focused on the issues with money and have specifics on the Cayman Islands. The book by Shaxson was unfortunately not easy to find but I was able to put a request in and hope to get it soon.

Floyd Smith, 98, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather went home to be with the Lord January 25, 2022.

Floyd was born December 25,1923, at the family homestead in East Hodgdon, ME where he grew up working the family farm. He graduated from Ricker Classical Institute high school in 1942. Soon after graduation, he enlisted in the Army to represent his family and his country serving in WWII. In 1943, he was assigned to the European Theater as an armorer gunner in a B24 Bomber. He participated in many military missions including Rome-Arno, Normandy, Balkans, and the Air Offensive in Europe. He rose to the level of Staff Sargent while receiving several decorations and citations for heroism and bravery. His B24 plane was shot down during a bombing mission over the oil fields of Romania. The plane was heavily damaged and forced to crash on the other side of the Black Sea. The entire crew was captured and taken as Prisoners Of War and imprisoned in Turkey. After approximately 2 months, he was rescued by the underground and returned to the US through Egypt. His mom was told he was "Missing In Action" but she never gave up hope that he was alive. One day while sitting on the front porch of her farmhouse, she saw a man off in the distance walking toward her home. She knew in an instant that it was Floyd returning from war. It has been told that she knew it was him by his 'gate'.

After Floyd's return from WWII, he attended and graduated from Bob Jones University. After graduation, he moved to Hartford, CT where he started his career at Pratt & Whitney. He rose to Manager of Production Control and worked at several manufacturing companies that included Spaulding Corporation and Package Machinery Company where he finished his career, retiring at age 69. He married Sylvia Stinson Smith of Harford, CT in June of 1953 and they lived happily together in Windsor, CT until her passing in 2002. They raised their two sons, William Richard, and Ronald Scott Smith. Floyd had a strong faith in Christ teaching Sunday School, leading Boys Brigade and he also served in various leadership roles at Calvary Church in West Hartford and Emmanuel Baptist Church in Newington.

He was a quiet humble man who was fastidious in all ways. He enjoyed his family, his yard & garden, musical instruments, the news, fishing, and hunting, UCONN Women's basketball and endless games of Rook. The way he lived his life proved to be an inspiration to so many. In 2004, at the age of 80, he remarried and is survived by his wife Louise London of New Limerick, ME. They very much enjoyed their 18 years of marriage living on Nickerson Lake just a few miles from the farm he was raised on.

He is predeceased by his first wife Sylvia Stinson Smith; his parents, Miles, and Dora Smith; his sister Ruby Sjoberg; his brother Weldon Smith; his sister Evelyn Duff; and his twin sister, Flora Duff. He is survived by his wife Louise London, his son Bill, and his wife Tracey Smith of Houlton ME, and their three children Amanda Odom, Catlin Smith, David Smith and 4 great grandchildren. He is also survived by his youngest son Ron and his wife Melinda Smith of Glastonbury CT and their triplet boys Zachary, Jacob and Ryan Smith. He is also survived by his stepdaughter Barber London.

A funeral and celebration of life service is planned for Monday, May 16, 2022 at 11:00 am at Court Street Baptist Church, 46 Court Street, Houlton, ME. In addition, on Friday, June 3, 2022 at 11:00 am there will be a graveside service with full military honors at the Windsor Veterans Military Cemetery, 122 East Street Windsor CT. Memorial donations may be made to the Emmanuel Christian Academy, 296 New Britain Avenue, Newington, CT 06111. The family would like to express their sincere thanks to the staff of Madigan Estates for their attention and care given to Floyd over the past 3 years.

Arrivals & Departures Circa 1953 - 07 September 2022 Peter Wood DeWitt

Peter Wood DeWitt, of Southampton, NY and for more than 40 years of Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side, died in New York City on Tuesday, September 7, at the age of 69. Born in Granby, MA to William and Gloria DeWitt, he was a graduate of Phillips Academy, Andover, where he won the Catlin Prize and the Weir Prize in classics, and the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated with a master's degree in architecture. 

He was a practicing architect for over 40 years and early in his career also designed furniture. He was a partner at Beyer Blinder Belle, where he worked on a number of major projects in New York, including the first Barneys women's store, before establishing his own firm in 1992, Peter DeWitt Architects, which later became DeWitt Tishman Architects. The firm, which worked primarily in New York and New Jersey, received several accolades, including a 2005 Palladio Award in 2005. The firm's projects were profiled in a number of publications, including The New York Times, which credited the firm with helping to create a distinct riverfront skyline in Jersey City and Hoboken. 

Peter traveled extensively, read voraciously, and loved musicals and designing new projects. A member of the AIA, he served on the Architectural Review & Historic Preservation Board for the Village of Southampton (NY) and also was involved with the Southampton Association scholarship program. He is survived by his partner James Thomas, sister Hollis DeWitt Haley (Mark), nephew Benjamin Haley (Nicole), grandnephew William Haley, and many cousins. In memory of Peter, donations may be made to the Southampton Association scholarship program or to the Granby, MA Church of Christ, memo: DeWitt Fund. A graveside funeral service will be held at West Street Cemetery in Granby, MA on September 17 at 11:00 am. Peter's family would like to compile memories of and stories about him.
