[zagreuses-toast]

My Vimes playlist! I have many thoughts and feelings about him... this was the first Discworld playlist I put together and I started it after reading that dinner party scene in Men at Arms, which is why Your Racist Friend is the first song. some of these songs are ones Vimes himself would hate deeply but the energy or lyrics persuaded me to put them in. If you're interested in the reasoning behind the song choices, I'm putting that under the cut.

Brickclub 1.2.1 ‘The night of a day’s tramp’

He’s HERE. :D :D :D

“His eye shone beneath his eyebrows like a fire beneath a thicket” is an amazing line.

The chapter makes it clear how disreputable Valjean looks, and how scary that is to people, and how the conflation of impoverishment and threat that’s inherent in the word misérables isn’t any less real today. This is the flip side of Hugo’s point about success from three chapters ago: if we conflate prosperity with worthiness, we conflate it’s lack with unworthiness. And voilà, Jean.

It strikes me this readthrough how Valjean is weary and thirsty and starving, but after he’s turned away from the Croix de Colbas he wanders a while without feeling any of it, because his humiliation is a stronger feeling than those. Humans need belonging and dignity almost more than they need rest and food. But also, they need rest and food.

This is a much longer chapter than we’ve been having, and reading a chapter a day really brings that out. It feels materially different from the short biographical chapters that precede it. I suppose this is our first exposure to the Plot.

Also, I’m told the rose couverte is a literally superhumanly fancy move in singlestick (https://sinceremercy.tumblr.com/post/621004665326338049/unpopular-opinion-in-a-physical-fight-between), so it’s odd that Valjean uses it on a bulldog. Anyway, hello, Parallels, but it’s very hard for me to imagine Valjean is doing something very graceful under these circumstances.

Napoleon’s return to France during his hundred days underlies all of this section. The text returns every few paragraphs to how Valjean is following in Napoleon’s footsteps, and there are plenty of other parallels in their significant years, etc. The text is absolutely grimly determined that we not miss this.

It’s also in particular showing us places where good things happened to Napoleon--innkeepers he honored, proclamations that were printed, places edicts were read out. Each of these places turns its back on Valjean.

But... why the parallel at all?

He’s another man returned from exile, certainly, trying to.... well, not reclaim much, to be honest, other than the bare bones of existing among people. Napoleon was emperor before his exile, but Valjean was a peasant, almost literally nameless.

They both will have a period of resurgence, when they are the great man on top of the world. Then the Waterloo digression will tell us about the fall of one and perhaps by implication the fall of the other.

And then? Both are exiled again, but Valjean fakes his death and becomes something else entirely. After that, I don’t know what the Napoleon metaphor does in the story. We’ll have to see when we get there.

But the lines that keep striking me now are from the Conventionist, about the death of the young dauphin:

“I will weep for the children of kings with you, if you will weep for me for the little ones of the people.”

“I weep for all,” said the bishop.

“Equally,” exclaimed G--, “and if the balance inclines, let it be on the side of the people; they have suffered longer.”

It feels like part of the point of conflating Valjean and Napoleon is Hugo’s personal realization that if you cared, as he certainly did, about Napoleon's return from exile, you should also care about whether this far humbler man was able to return from exile.

And, of course, in other even larger mythic conflations, Valjean is looking for lodging, and there’s no room at the inn.

Cincinnati’s 1884 Election: What A Riot!

If you think this year’s political campaigning is contentious, you might be amazed by Cincinnati’s 1884 election – it was a real riot.

In 1884, Cincinnati was ruled by a mostly Democratic political machine. The ringleader – he wasn’t quite a “boss” – was the publisher of the Enquirer, John Roll McLean. The machine controlled the courts, the police, patronage jobs and even elections. For years, the Democratic organization in Cincinnati flagrantly encouraged fraudulent elections.

Most Cincinnatians have heard about the Courthouse Riot of March 1884, but few remember the other riot that year. It was, in many ways, an echo of the more famous spring rebellion. The Courthouse Riot inspired the Cincinnati upper class – capitalists, businessmen, clergy, professionals – to mobilize for better government and honest voting. This progressive groundswell inspired the local Republican Party to break a decade and a half of Democratic control. Cincinnati citizens organized an Honest Election Committee which invited a force of United States marshals to supervise elections of 1884. Cincinnati businessmen backed the committee. The Federal government (Republican at the time) paid for 700 marshals to assure accurate balloting.

Ohio elections were ripe for corruption and vote tampering. In 1884, Ohio did not require registration or proof of residency to vote. Prospective voters went to the polls, announced their residence and – if they lived within that precinct – were allowed to drop a ballot in the box. At least that’s how it was supposed to work.

In practice, Democratic functionaries staffed the polls and controlled the vote outcome. Lot Wright, United States Marshal for Southwest Ohio, described some of their methods in a letter to his superiors in Washington, asking for help in the autumn elections of 1884:

“All methods that can be thought of are resorted to. The colonization of voters, repeating, refusing to let men vote who are entitled to vote, intimidating, counting improperly, recording the count reversed what it ought to be, improperly certifying, stuffing, changing ballots, buying votes, and last, but most infamous of all, scratching with chemicals (in place of ink), which at first is not detected by the voter [disqualifying the ballot].”

In those days, Ohio elected congressmen through a special election in October. Wright asked for special deputies to monitor the Congressional election on 14 October 1884. The national Republican Party pressured Marshal Wright into making the request and then raised funds to hire an additional 700 deputies and to ship 600 brand-new bulldog revolvers to Cincinnati. Wright and his deputy marshals served under the authority of the federal election supervisor, William Howard Taft. In his 1939 biography of Taft, Henry Pringle describes the disaster:

“[The marshals] were to take their posts at the polling places and keep the peace. Taft hoped, he said in his official announcement, that they would ‘encounter no opposition, especially from the municipal or county authorities.’ This was a hint that the police, controlled by the Democratic city administration, might get tough. If opposition came, however, Taft’s marshals were to ‘treat them as you would any other citizens committing crimes against the United States and have them arrested.’ The inevitable result was bloodshed. A Negro was slain, apparently without reason, by one federal marshal.”

It is impossible to tell, looking back 136 years, whether Lot Wright’s armed deputy marshals ensured a fair election. Rumors claimed that Cincinnati counted 7,000 more votes than the city had voters. It is entirely possible that all the marshals did was replace Democratic thugs with Republican thugs. That, at least, is how the (Democratic) Enquirer [15 October 1884] saw it:

“The history of yesterday’s election in Hamilton County will forever remain a foul blot upon the fair fame of Ohio’s metropolis. Such scenes were witnessed at the polls as brought the cry of shame from every honest man. Riot and bloodshed held sway at many of the precincts, while intimidation was practiced on all sides by the paid hirelings of a Republican National Government.”

The Republican Cincinnati Commercial Tribune [15 October 1884], of course, saw things differently:

“The election yesterday was a Waterloo for the local and State Democracy, and that in spite of their preparations for fraud and the most flagrant outrages on Republican voters, white and colored. In spite of the best work of the Deputy Marshals the Democratic police perpetrated some of the most foolhardy outrages and, in defiance of all warnings, put themselves in direct offense with the Government of this country.”

Throughout the day, skirmishes between the sheriff’s deputies (Democratic) and the deputy marshals (Republican) erupted into melees, often involving gunfire. According to the Enquirer, chaos was widespread:

“In the lower precinct of the Sixth Ward several hundred [deputy marshals], all colored, blocked the street and fired off their revolvers at random. Respectable people were insulted and mistreated. In the Eighth Ward it was only by a superhuman effort that the liquor-crazed deputies were driven from the polls, after having fired a volley into the crowd. The scene was repeated in the lower precinct of the Fifth Ward, while in Precinct A of the Eighteenth  Ward the imported thieves took possession of the polls and installed three Republican Judges, thus leaving the Democrats without representation.”

Despite all of the combativeness and outbreaks of gunfire, only one death resulted from the competition between parties. Two armed poll watchers, one of the sheriff’s and one of the marshal’s, both African American, argued over access to a polling place in the Eighteenth Ward and the deputy marshal shot and killed the deputy sheriff.

The Enquirer, vehemently opposed to integration or equal rights for African Americans, used the election conflicts to promote its racist vision of savage Blacks insulting their white superiors.  Here is the Enquirer’s front-page commentary:

“It was indeed humiliating to honest men to be compelled to crowd through a dirty, smelling crowd of ignorant negroes, who invariably kept their clubs and revolvers exposed, in order to exercise their rights of franchise.”

When the presidential election came around in November 1884, both sides stood down – somewhat – and there were fewer incidents of riotous behavior. Nevertheless, a Republican poll monitor stabbed a city policeman, gangs of Democrats attacked any Black voters attempting to cast ballots, a Covington “floater” brought in to illegally vote was murdered, and a Cincinnati police sergeant shot and killed a man who refused to leave a polling station.

Democrats took office in Washington that year with the election of Grover Cleveland. The new administration immediately launched an investigation of Marshal Lot Wright. The blatantly prejudiced inquest found so much blame on both sides that they ended up slapping Marshal Wright on the wrist for sloppy expense accounts and not much more. Still, Wright was replaced by a Democrat as Marshal for Southwest Ohio.

The LA Kings have signed defenseman Mikey Anderson to a three-year entry-level contact, Kings Vice President and General Manager Rob Blake announced today.

Anderson, who turns 20 next month, was selected by the Kings in the fourth-round (103rd overall) of the 2017 NHL Draft. The 5-11, 197-pounder is a native of Roseville, Minnesota.  

On April 13, Anderson helped the University of Minnesota-Duluth (UMD) capture the NCAA Championship. As a sophomore, he was an all-tournament team selection as the Bulldogs won their second consecutive national championship.

Anderson received the Hockey Commissioners' Association (HCA) Player of the Month award for March and April 2019, a stretch in which he was tied for the NCAA scoring lead with 14 points and led the nation with 12 assists.

During the regular season, he played in 40 games and had 27 points (6-21=27) and a plus-22 rating.

In his first season, he finished as UMD's second-leading freshman scorer with 23 points on five goals and 18 assists in 39 games.

This past January, Anderson competed at the prestigious World Junior Under-20 Championships where he registered five points (2-3=5) and captained the squad to a silver medal finish. Team USA and Anderson captured bronze the year prior.

Prior to college, Anderson played two seasons with the Waterloo Black Hawks of the United States Hockey League.

CANTLON: CT HOCKEY OFF SEASON VOL 10 PT 2

BY: Gerry Cantlon, Howlings HARTFORD, CT - The chase for a championship at all levels of hockey starts with roster selection. The number of signings this week picks up to a breakneck pace. Ex-Hartford Wolf Pack, Greg Chase, the nephew of former Hartford Whaler, Kelly Chase, signs with the Maine Mariners (ECHL). Ex-Bridgeport Sound Tiger, Yannick Turcotte, signs a one-year, two-way (AHL-ECHL) deal with the Hershey Bears. Charles Curti (Yale University) departs the Rapid City Rush (ECHL) to sign back with the Adirondack Thunder (ECHL). AHL TO EUROPE SIGNINGS Eight more AHL players sign in Europe this week. Gregor MacLeod leaves the Grand Rapids  Griffins for Nuremberg (Germany-DEL). Tyler Groavac leaves the Manitoba Moose for Dynamo Minsk (Belarus-KHL), becoming the 17th player heading to the KHL. Then Veini Vehviläinen leaves the Toronto Marlies for Brynas IF (Sweden-SHL). This signing makes seven players going to Sweden. Jalen Smercek of the Tucson Roadrunners heads to Donbas Donets’k (Ukraine-UHL). He's the first AHL’er to head to Ukraine. Defenseman Reece Willcox departs the Hershey Bears for HC Val Pusteria (Italy-IceHL), becoming the first player to head to Italy. Chase Berger of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins signs with HC Banska Bystrica (Slovakia-SLEL). Nicholas Welsh leaves the Rochester Americans and signs with Nuremberg (Germany-DEL). Jeremy Roy of the San Diego Gulls signs with HKM Zvolen (Slovakia-SLEL). 56 AHL’ers to date have signed overseas. Additionally, 25 of 31 AHL teams have lost at least one player. MORE MOVES Ex-Wolf Pack, Travis Oleksuk, splits from EC Graz (Austria-IceHL) and signs with the Sheffield Steelers (England-EIHL). Ex-Sound Tiger, Ty Wishart, departs from HC Cszilkscereda (Romania-MOL) and arrives at Unia Oswiecim (Poland-PZIHL) for the 2021-22 season is taking the import spot on the team from another ex-Sound Tiger, Victor Bartley. Former Yale Bulldog, Denny Keaney, switches French teams from Grenoble to HC Cergy-Pontoise (France-FREL). Another ex-Sound Tiger, Darren Nowick, who played with Skellefteå AIK (Sweden-SHL), announces his retirement. Riese Zmolek, the son of former NHL’er Doug Zmolek, finishes at Minnesota State-Mankato (NCHC) signs with the Iowa Wild (AHL). Brandon Schultz of Northern Michigan (WCHA) signs with the Toledo Walleye (ECHL), making 80 Division-I players signing in North America and 113 total college players (Division-I and Division-III) signing pro deals. The conference breakdown is as follows; Hockey Eart 25, Big 10 has 21, NCHC 15, AHA seven, ECACHL has six, the WCHA now CCHA has four and two from NCAA Division I independent Arizona State. In NCAA Division III, just three players thus far and 30 skaters have signed in Europe. EVEN MORE MOVES Aidan Metcalfe, a defenseman with the NAHL Robertson Cup champion Shreveport (La) Mudbugs, has committed to UCONN (HE) for the fall, the last for the Huskies. Christian Yersich transfers back home from Colorado College Tigers (NCHC) to the brand-new University of St. Thomas Tommies (CCHA) program. Zach Pellegrino (Gunnery Prep-Washington) leaves Bentley University (AHA) and transfers to Division-III independent Albertus Magnus College in New Haven who start play this fall, making 66 in-school transfers and 51 grad transfers for 116 college players to move this off season. A FIRST In a historic first, the NCAA has granted a major junior player the right to play in the NCAA. Austen Swankler commits to the Bowling Green University Falcons (CCHA). He played for the Erie Otters (OHL) for two years and didn’t play anywhere last year. He played US junior hockey for the Waterloo Black Hawks (USHL) three years ago. In a release, it was stated Swankler petitioned the NCAA directly before making his commit. Usually, one second of play in a major junior regular season game wiped out any chance of playing NCAA hockey. The NCAA has historically considered major junior as a professional league. This crack in the door likely means petitions will be handled on a case-by-case basis and not lead to a flood of applications. BACK TO TRANSACTIONS Sam Anderson of the Philadelphia Hockey Team (NCDC) and the Tim Manning Valley Jr. Warriors (EHL) commits to the Albertus Magnus (New Haven) College Falcons. After five seasons at Lake Superior State (CCHA), ex-Hartford Wolf Pack and New York Ranger Michael York signs a multi-year extension along with fellow assistant Zack Cisek. Both were given promotions of the title Associate Head Coach. The Holy Cross Invitational tournament scheduled for October 8-9 to kick off the college hockey season in the Northeast has been moved to the DCU Center in Worcester, MA, from the 1,600-seat renovated Hart Center Arena on the campus of Holy Cross. The Crusaders, the Northeastern Huskies, the Quinnipiac University Bobcats, and Boston College Eagles are slated to participate. The 56th annual Christmas Holiday Great Lakes tournament between Michigan, Michigan Tech, Michigan State, and Western Michigan will be held at the campus arenas of Michigan (Yost Arena) and Michigan St. (Munn Arena) on December 29-30. The Yost Arena will likely undergo a name change in the fall after an internal review found legendary football coach Ned Yost conducted unfair conduct against black athletes during his tenure as AD. Munn Arena just received a $1.5 million donation for arena upgrades. BLANCHETTE RETURNS Adam Blanchette (Berlin/CT Clippers-MetJHL/Danbury Whalers-FPHL) returns from overseas to become the new assistant coach with the Danbury Hat Tricks (FPHL). Blanchette spent four years in New Zealand playing and then coaching the Sky City (Queenstown) Stampede (formerly Southern Stampede) of the New Zealand Ice Hockey League (NZIHL). The team won three consecutive Birgel Cup titles (2015-2017) in the short-season league. He was also an assistant coach for the New Zealand National Team that took home silver at the IIHF Division 2 Group B Championships held in Grenada, Spain, in 2017. He also played two years in the Netherlands, a year in Australia, four years in the defunct Central Hockey League with the Rio Grande Valley (TX) Killer Bees, Tulsa Oilers, and New Mexico Scorpions. He also played major junior hockey for the Quebec Remparts, Moncton Wildcats and Gatineau Olympiques of the QMJHL. CONNECTICUT CONNECTED PLAYERS Matt Graham, a former Danbury Titans (FPHL) player, was named the new Head Coach/GM of the Port Huron (MI) Prowlers (FPHL) and had been a playing assistant coach the last three seasons. Former New Haven Senators Harijs Vitolins was named by the Latvia Hockey Federation (LHF) as the Head Coach for the Latvian National Team a month before their IIHF Group E Olympic qualifying tournament games at the Arena Riga August 27-29. The teams in that group vying to get an invite to the Beijing Games in February 2022 are France, Italy, Hungary, and Latvia. Latvia is seeking its sixth Olympic appearance. They took part in the 1936 Games and were then annexed by Nazi Germany and then by the Soviet Union. They made it in their first year back as an independent nation in 2002 and then in 2006, 2010, and 2014. They missed out on the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Vitolins replaces former NHL coach Bob Hartley, who was with the team for the last five years. He is now the head coach of the defending KHL Gagarin Cup champs Avangard Omsk team. In addition, Vitolins has been an assistant coach with Spartak Moscow (Russia-KHL) for the last two years.

An invitation to a friend’s birthday in the Isle of Wight had me nostalgic, I hadn’t been since I was 11 years old camping with my school and I was keen to revisit and see why our friends had chosen to buy a holiday home there. I had honestly thought it would be faff to get there but actually you can buy your ticket to Ryde (the largest town in the Isle of Wight) at Waterloo train station, hope off at Portsmouth Harbour and get straight on a twenty minute ferry. Two hour journey, zero flights, leave your passport at home and you’re on a sunny island!

I had booked a lovely hotel in the seaside town of the Ventnor on the south side of the Isle, around half an hour in a taxi from Ryde. A pretty pastel B & B on the hillside, The Hambrough was the perfect place to lay our heads during the weekend break. Luxury hotels are few and far between on the island but The Hambrough is a 5 AA Gold Star beautiful boutique with seven rooms nearly all of which have a sea view.  A studio room was super spacious with views of the Ventnor coast, a fully stocked mini bar and coffee machine plus a deep soaking tub which I forgot to take a picture of! At one time the hotel’s restaurant boasted a Michelin star but now chef Robert Thompson has set up his own place and The Hambrough currently just serves breakfast and afternoon tea. There’s also a relaxing bar where you can enjoy a freshly made cocktail of the day or a cup of coffee.

I have a few friends who are regular visitors to the Isle of Wight so I had plenty of recommendations. One resounding choice that I heard a few times was a place called The Hut in Colwell Bay Freshwater so I went ahead and booked it for Friday night dinner.  It was a good forty minute taxi journey away but with such strong recommendations, we decided it was worth it. The Hut is located right on the beach, you can even sail right up to it an anchor off the restaurant… I can imagine it would be utterly lovely in good weather but unfortunately wind and rain battered the side of the restaurant and they had to close off the windows. Otherwise, as the name suggests, it had the feel of a charming beach hut and it would have been fab sitting on the roof with the sun beaming through. But even though we were on an island, this is still England and we had to put up with the great British weather! Fortunately the food made up for the rain and we chose some starters to share of spicy prawns and chorizo, sardines and fish tacos with halibut, tempura samphire, tomato salsa and mayo – all excellent. For main course, Mr S went for the most delicious lemon sole whilst my whole sea bass was perfectly cooked.  Desserts were vanilla creme bruleé for me and warm chocolate brownie with raspberry curd and vanilla ice cream.

The next day breakfast at The Hambrough was delightful, I think you can tell alot about a place by their breakfast and the bread was a gorgeous crisp sourdough served with perfect dippy eggs. After a good brekkie we set off to explore Ventnor… As I mentioned, The Hambrough is found in a row of pretty pastel town houses, if you turn the corner you get to the high street, and if you go down the hill you get to the beach.  The High Street is only small but you’ll find lots of shops and little restaurants plus places to collect souvenirs. Otherwise you can head down the hill to take a walk along the sandy shingle beach or the esplanade where you’ll find plenty of cafes and restaurants.  At the end of the parade is the Spyglass with a view right out to sea.  We stopped there for a coffee and flake (as is the Great British tradition) but I have to say I wasn’t too impressed by the food that I saw coming out. Instead we found somewhere on the parade for lunch. Lunch at the Smoking Lobster turned out to be an excellent idea. Another whole sea bass, this time with an Asian style sauce, a crisp basket of fries, and a glass of rosé. We were really lucky with the weather and apparently the Isle of Wight is one of the sunniest places in the UK! We didn’t have time to do much around as I had an afternoon hair appointment and honestly we were a bit stuck without a car. We had to get taxis everywhere which just took ages and cost quite a bit.  After my hair we had another quick walk around the seafront before heading back to the hotel to get ready for the party that night. I dressed as a unicorn whereas Mr S went as a ‘dark horse’ the party was so much fun and very drunken. We met lots of other people who had holiday homes on the Isle of Wight and had been coming back for years! After a late night we missed breakfast so shared a hangover cheese panini at a place called the Bistro in Ventnor.

Before we left there was time for one last seafood lunch and I’d booked a place called The Little Gloster (as recommended by Colleen). Again it was a bit of a distance but I wanted to end the trip on a high note rather than grabbing something quick before we left. It is much easier to get around IOW if you have your own car but it was very quick to get there by train, if I was coming for a longer holiday I might have hired a car. The restaurant has actually been awarded ‘Restaurant of the Year’ in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and featured in the Michelin Guide and Good Food Guide 2018 so it’s well worth the drive.  The Little Gloster has a beautiful beach front location and a bright and airy beach-style interior with a Scandinavian influence. Though once again we were bearing the brunt of bad weather and weren’t able to take a table outside with a view of the beach. Again we shared some delicious nibbles including salt ‘n pepper squid, scampi and crab cakes. For main course, Mr S couldn’t help going full British bulldog and ordering battered halibut and chips with mushy peas. Whereas I opted for a half lobster and fries which just utterly perfect. We were actually did so well with our food choices over the weekend and didn’t have a bad meal!

Unfortunately limited time, no car and bad weather meant we didn’t get a chance to explore much more of the Isle of Wight but we really loved what we did see and do and we’ll certainly be back!

CYC Bob Guelker Memorial Soccer Tournament Playoffs @PlayCYC

With the move to a 24 team event at the CYC Guelker Soccer Tournament, advancement is now based upon pool play, much like we see in the Champions League for a current example. I haven’t seen specifics for this year but in the past, points were earned for a win (4), a tie (2) and for a shutout (1). Check out who’s reached the playoffs in the CYC Bob Guelker Memorial Soccer Tournament and how they…
