Marbled Monday
This Marbled Monday we've got a cheeky little book on paper marbling by David G. Harris. It's titled Robert J. McLaren: With Apologies to Woolnough and was published in 1984 by Set and Forget Press in Melbourne, Australia. I was unable to turn up any information about Harris or the press, which I found somewhat surprising. However, what I did find out is that Robert McLaren is a well-known marbling artist in Australia who has a very informative website and is still running marbling workshops and creating marbled art!
This book is as yet uncatalogued, but is part of the donation of lots of lovely fine press books from the estate of our late friend, Dennis Bayuzick. The linocuts are by David G. Harris and the book was created for the Society of Private Printers fifth exchange using Garamond, Delphian Open Title, and Times New Roman fonts. The titular Woolnough is C.W. Woolnough, who wrote the classic book, "The Whole Art of Marbling as applied to Paper, Book Edges, Etc."

Bethe was also one of the twelve American physicists* who challenged President Truman's decision in a statement dated 4 February 1950:
We believe that no nation has the right to use such a bomb, no matter how righteous its cause. This bomb is no longer a weapon of war but a means of extermination of whole populations. Its use would be a betrayal of all standards of morality and of Christian civilization itself . . . to create such an ever-present peril for all the nations of the world is against the vital interests of both Russia and the United States . . . we urge that the United States, through its elected government, make a solemn declaration that we shall never use this bomb first. The circumstance which might force us to use it would be if we or our allies were attacked by this bomb. There can be only one justification for our development of the hydrogen bomb and that is to prevent its use.
* S. K. Allison, K. T. Bainbridge, H. S. Bethe, R. B. Brode, C. C. Lauritsen, F. W. Loomis, G. B. Pegram, B. Rossi, F. Seitz, M. A. Tube, V. F. Weisskopf, and M. G. White.

Congrats to the ultimate winner of the Hot & Vintage Movie Men Tournament, Mr. Toshiro Mifune! May he live happily and well where the sun always shines, enjoying the glories of a battle hard fought.
Tumblr media
A loving farewell to all of our previous contestants, who are now banished to the shadow realm and all its dark joys and whispered horrors—I hear there's a picnic on the village green today. If you want to remember the fallen heroes, you can find them all beneath the cut.
What happens next? I'll be taking a break of two weeks to rest from this and prep for the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament. I'll still be around but only minimally, posting a few last odes to the hot men before transitioning into a little early ladies content, just like I did with this last tournament. The submission form for the Hot & Vintage Ladies tournament will remain up for one more week (closing February 21st), so get your submissions in for that asap! Once the form closes, there will be one more week of break. The first round of the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament will be posted on February 29th, as Leap Year Day seems like a fitting allusion to leaping into these ladies' arms.

________________________________________________________
Ove godine sam naučila da mi kratke priče jako leže te da ih cijenim više nego duže proze, stoga nije niti čudo da me odmah privukla naslovnica ove knjige. Između ostalog, naišla sam na nju u nekom periodu kada sam se baš odlučila malo odmaknuti od realizma i ponovno se okrenuti svojoj prvoj pravoj ljubavi: spekulativnoj fikciji.
Ova kolekcija je ispala savršen izbor.
Predstavljeni su slavni autori koji su bili među začetnicima spekulativne fikcije. Njihova djela razrađuju popularne teme: što odvaja čovjeka od stroja, povezanost umjetnosti i praktike, prolaznost života, ovisnost čovjeka o modernim izumima i mnoge druge, no sve prati izrazito snažan osjećaj znatiželje i široka, gotovo dječja, mašta koja se izražava u obliku fantastičnog stvaranja. Upravo zato su takve ideje, filozofije i pitanja još uvijek danas zanimljive u krugovima ljubitelja fikcije, a ove se priče stoga stvarno može smatrati bezvremenskim.
Većina autora u kolekciji prikazuje žarku želju za pustolovinom koju je fascinantno iskusiti desetljećima nakon što su njihova djela napisana. Njihove priče ne zamaraju se nebitnim pitanjima i detaljima, već izravno prenose radnju bez obzira jesu li one realistične ili ne. Spisatelji ne dopuštaju djelu da gospodari njima, već su oni ti koji vode riječ. Drže se uz činjenicu da pišu o fiktivnim događajima, a time iskorištavaju slobodu da jednostavno odbace ili preobraze prirodne zakone koji ne odgovaraju njihovom svemiru. Meni je to bilo vrlo osvježavajuće iskustvo jer se često susrećem sa spisateljima spekulativne fikcije koji svim silama pokušavaju nadomjestiti nedostatke u fizičkim zakonitostima svojih radova samo da bi ušli u ciklus beskonačnih, nepotrebnih objašnjenja koji oduzimaju od doživljaja priče.
Jezik kojim su djela pisana je stari, klasični engleski koji nije jednostavan za čitanje, stoga neće svim čitateljima jednako dobro leći. Definitivno je tekstu potrebno posvetiti više vremena, ali stilovi pojedinih autora su apsolutno prekrasni te njihovi opsežni rječnici vrijedni divljenja.
Ukoliko ste u potrazi za starijim pričama spekulativne fikcije, a ne znate gdje biste počeli, "Science fiction and fantasy short stories" su solidan izbor sa kolekcijom čuvenih djela i autora. Sadrži djela bogata pustolovinama i akcijom, nježnih scena ispunjenih znatiželjom te straha od onog nepoznatog i onog poznatog.

"You have to be quiet."
another shameless crib from a famous painter. This time it's Robert G Harris' "Couple" but i thought it'd be fun to turn the tension from a moment of domestic unrest to, say, Jigsaw-based antics

Band of Brothers Ages: IRL vs. Actors
Did you know that according to a 1947 study, almost half the men who served in WWII were still under age 26 by the end of the war?
What this is : A (very long) post comparing the ages of the actors in Band of Brothers vs. the IRL figures they are portraying.
Background: Did I need to do this? No. Did anyone ask for this? Also no. Did I do it anyway? Yes.
Disclaimers: This is SUPER approximate for the most part. I based IRL ages off of D-Day unless otherwise noted, and actor ages off of January 1, 2000, the year filming took place (the latter is where the most variation will be because I didn't try to figure out what month filming started). I also didn't fact-check birthdays beyond googling. Most are sourced from the Band of Brothers and Military Wikis on fandom.com, Wikipedia, and IMDb.
I broke them up into rough categories, which are, again, approximate. I know I often forget how young the real life people were here, and this was a good reminder of that. I also found it interesting to see which actors were actually younger than their roles!
