The Contraceptive Imperative

January 21, 2013 09:00 AM

By Kenneth D. Whitehead

You don’t have to go out of your way today to be confronted with the subject of contraception. In November 2012, the United Nations Population Fund issued its annual report entitled “By Choice, Not by Chance,” describing contraception as a global “right” for women, and calling for the removal of all social and financial obstacles to access to its presumed benefits. In the very same month, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists publicly called on the federal government to permit over-the-counter sales of birth control pills.

If you are surprised at the notion of a medical society recommending wider and indiscriminate distribution of powerful drugs without prescriptions or any other controls, you should know that, again in the same month of November, 2012, the American Academy of Pediatrics also issued a statement, this one favoring providing children of all ages with so-called “emergency contraception.” This is the term used to describe steroid-based “morning-after” drugs which can prevent a human embryo from implanting in the mother’s womb, and which thus can constitute a form of early abortion. The method is dishonestly labeled “emergency contraception” probably in order to escape criticism from opponents of abortion who do not object to merely “preventive” birth control methods.

Since it is now taken for granted that children today will be initiating sexual activity at younger and younger ages, it is thought that they must urgently be in possession of suitable “protective” means. This is apparently the belief not only of the American Academy of Pediatrics alone; for in December, representatives of some 40 other organizations followed up on the Academy’s November statement by calling on the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to permit the sale of morning-after pills to minors over the counter.

All of these calls for wider and easier distribution of contraception (and abortion-inducing drugs) followed closely upon a national election in which one of the political parties produced campaign ads accusing the other party of conducting a “war on women.” The “war” in question seems to have consisted mostly of supposed efforts to deny to women access to contraception. Prominent in what turned out to be a winning political strategy was the highlighting of a single young woman student at the high-tuition Georgetown Law School, Sandra Fluke, who attained that much talked-about “15 minutes of fame” by complaining that her student health insurance did not provide her free contraceptives in support of her permissive lifestyle.

How this constituted any real problem—when both supermarket and convenience-store shelves today are replete with low-cost condoms and other contraceptive devices, and when both Walmart and Target sell birth control pills for less than 10 dollars a month—how this constituted any problem was not explained, probably because, generally speaking, nobody asked for any explanation.

Those who were particularly identified as conducting the alleged “war on women”—including especially the Catholic bishops of the United States—seemed to consist mostly of those who had publicly declared their opposition to the federal government mandate which the Department of Health and Human Services had put in place the previous January under the 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, popularly known as “Obamacare.” This HHS mandate required that the health insurance required by Obamacare to be carried henceforth by nearly everybody had to include free coverage of, yes, contraception (and sterilizations and abortion-inducing drugs as well). The mandate obviously takes the alleged needs of a Sandra Fluke seriously!

If you live in the United States today, then, you can hardly avoid being almost constantly confronted with the subject of contraception. It’s “in your face,” as the saying goes.

This has not always been the case. Formerly, and up until quite recently, contraception was practically an unmentionable subject. It was not talked about in polite company—or in almost any other kind of company. To acquire any of the then mostly barrier methods of contraception, you had to be of age and to ask the druggist surreptitiously to bring your purchase out from behind the counter. In 1930, Pope Pius XI issued an entire encyclical, Casti Connubii, deploring and morally condemning contraception, though without so much as mentioning the word itself. (This same encyclical also contained one of the strongest defenses of Christian marriage in all the literature of the Church.)

Contraception only came to be frankly and openly discussed with the advent of the birth control “pill” in the 1960s. In fact, a Catholic physician who had been involved in the development of the new oral contraceptives, Dr. John Rock, published a widely ballyhooed book with the provocative title, The Time Has Come. The aim of the book was to convince Catholics that, with the successful development of oral contraceptives, the Church’s ban on birth control would simply have to go. In retrospect, and in the light of what became the practical abandonment of the Church’s teaching against contraception by so many Catholics, the book proved to be quite prescient: The time evidently had come!

As most people are aware, however, the Church’s teaching against contraception was not modified as a result of the development of the birth control pill. It is of some interest that the papal birth control commission that was named by Blessed Pope John XXIII was established in order to determine whether the new oral contraceptives fell under the Church’s long-established prohibition of any artificial interference with the human generative process. Ironically, a majority of the members of the papal birth control commission itself ended up deciding that the Church’s teaching against birth control could and should be dropped. Such was the climate in the early 1960s.

Having anxiously weighed and examined the whole question, however—and, as it happened, also enjoying the assistance of the Holy Spirit—Pope John’s successor, Pope Paul VI, concluded in his 1968 encyclical, Humanae Vitae, that oral contraceptives did fall under the Church’s prohibition, and that each and every marriage act had to remain open to the transmission of life, as the Church had taught for centuries. The teaching could not be changed because it was true. But in reaching this conclusion not only against the expectations of his own commission, but of practically everybody else in the world, the pope once again never actually mentioned the word “contraception.”

Still, contraception was the issue, and the pope’s decision that the Church’s prohibition of its use had to stand proved to be one of the epochal decisions of our era. It meant that the Catholic Church would continue on her traditional way, although not without considerable dissent and disorder in her own ranks. Statistics soon showed, in fact, that contraceptive practice by Catholics was virtually the same as that by non-Catholics. The Church’s teaching had thus ceased to be heeded by many of the children of the Church. Oddly, many Catholics even seemed to be proud that they no longer followed the teaching of the Church!

More recently, during the 2012 presidential campaign, prominent women such as Melinda Gates and Caroline Kennedy, pointedly self-identifying themselves as “Catholics,” called for the acceptance of contraception before mass-media audiences—as if being Catholic today somehow entailed siding with the world against the Church.

Meanwhile, the world had long since become what we have already seen above: Where in the course of the single month of November, 2012, contraception was declared by the United Nations to be a “women’s right”; where at least two medical societies loudly and publicly favored the distribution of  birth control pills and devices to all and sundry, including children; where a victorious political campaign boasted of its active provision of birth prevention procedures, gaining a majority of women’s votes thereby; where well-known Catholics publicly favored and praised these same procedures; and where the U.S. government deliberately left in place against vigorous Church protests a legal requirement known to be a violation of the religious liberty of the members of America’s largest single religious body.

This, then, is what our world has come to; it is a world exhibiting what we may call “the contraceptive imperative.” Contraception must henceforth be universally accepted and available, gratis, to all. The idea that there might possibly be any objection to it, say, on moral grounds, must be firmly rejected, if not indeed laughed to scorn. It is thought that anyone who might possibly object, say, the Catholic bishops or the Catholic faithful, surely cannot be serious.

In actual and sober fact, however, few voices are being publicly raised today against contraception as such. For more than a generation Catholics have been very reluctant to speak out against it in spite of the Church’s plain teaching about it. Today’s secularists are generally given a free pass to go on touting its claimed benefits while critics remain mostly silent. Those who do venture to say anything against it usually confine their criticisms to its known harmful physical effects, such as the pill’s increased risk of heart disease or cancer, or the greater risk of sexually transmitted diseases for those relying on contraceptives in support of a promiscuous lifestyle. Hardly anybody today ever publicly dares to contend that contraception just might be morally wrong, which is what the Church teaches.

Even in the case of the HHS contraceptive mandate, few feel called upon to argue against contraception as such. Rather, most people (including most Catholic bishops), primarily stress that the mandate is a violation of the religious liberty of Catholics. Many even go so far as to assert that “it’s not about contraception.” Of course, it is a violation of the religious liberty of Catholics; and it must indeed be opposed on that basis, as the Church rightly is opposing it. But it also is about contraception. It represents a government attempt to impose the contraceptive imperative on the entire country, as Pope Paul VI warned in Humanae Vitae, and it must be opposed for that reason as well.

For the Church has not ceased to teach that contraception is morally wrong. This was once the teaching of all of Christianity. It remained in place virtually universally for centuries until, in 1929, the Church of England broke ranks and allowed its use in “hard cases”—a shift that was followed with unseemly haste in the next few years by nearly all organized Christian bodies (with the notable exception of the Catholic Church).

Soon contraception came to be allowed nearly everywhere, not just in hard cases but in all cases. This was bound to happen, for if contraception is not somehow intrinsically wrong (and hence might legitimately be employed in hard cases), why not in all cases? It follows. The Catholic Church virtually alone proved unable to accede to this logic. The great 1930 encyclical, Casti Connubii, was the answer of Pope Pius XI and the Catholic Church to the general abandonment nearly everywhere of the traditional teaching that had previously obtained universally within Christianity.

In Humanae Vitae, besides warning about the kind of government coercion which has come about with the HHS mandate, Pope Paul VI also predicted an increase “in conjugal infidelity and the general lowering of morality” and a loss of respect for women—consequences which leap to the eye in such cases as today’s marriage break-ups or “hook-up culture.” As the original enabler of the sexual revolution generally, contraception is responsible for these consequences.

So isn’t it about time that Catholics got beyond today’s almost ritual disclaimer in the case of the HHS mandate that “it’s not about contraception”? How much worse does it have to get before some people finally begin to notice that it is bad? The whole issue is about contraception as much as it is about religious liberty, and we need to summon up the courage to say this plainly.

It is time that the contraceptive imperative got branded as the grave menace to any civilized and moral society that it manifestly is.

For eight years he served as executive vice president of Catholics United for the Faith. He also served as a United States Assistant Secretary of Education during the Reagan Administration.

Organic Food Cost - how to lower it

by Webmaster,

Most people generally have the preconception that organic food cost is a lot higher than so-called normal foods. This is true to a certain extent.

In general, organic produce and processed organic foods can range anywhere from 10 to 40% more expensive, or even more. This very much depends on where you are, and whether or not there are organic foods which are grown and produced locally.

Why is the cost of organic food higher?

We have to recognize that organic foods take a lot more time and effort, and thus incur more costs, in their production. Because current production levels are still much lower than conventional foods, there is also limited economies of scale.

In addition, organic foods often have to be processed in separate facilities, thereby further driving up organic food costs.

Also, due to limited sources, organic food products often have to be shipped in from faraway places.

In the case of animal products, costs are increased because they are fed more expensive food, and fewer of them can be bred per unit area of land. Their growth is also not artificially sped up using unnatural hormones.

Further, because no chemical preservatives are added, the shelf-lives of organic food products are shorter, and this disadvantage would have to be priced in, thus also contributing to higher organic food costs.

The relative cost of organic food isn't that great when we compare their true value to most conventional foods today

On the other hand, somehow, with mass production and the use of cheap and dubious raw materials, many very inexpensive food products and snacks are available for consumption.

Yet, in terms of quality and nutritional content, most of these cheap food products are actually very poor foods. On top of that, they also always contain harmful chemical preservatives, flavorings and additives. Not stuff you want to be consuming if you are health-conscious.

Think about it. If we consider the price of foods in relation to their quality and nutrient content, then the relative organic food cost is really not that high anymore. This is because organic foods have better nutrient concentrations that their non-organic counterparts. They also have higher dry mass content, as supposed to higher water concentrations in commercially farmed produce.

A direct consequence of the better nutrient content is that your body is better satisfied, nutritionally speaking, and you thus feel hungry less often and need less food to get by.

The main reason why obesity is such a big problem today is that most people are eating a lot of refined foods of very little or practically no nutritional value. The body is not nutritionally fulfilled and thus keeps sending hunger signals, and the person continues to eat more empty calories - cakes, white breads, potato chips, sugary snacks, etc. The results - spiraling weight, obesity, heart disease, cancer, etc.

By making organic foods the main part of your entire diet, you will find that you will need to eat less - this results in monetary savings. On top of that, when you cut down on junk foods, you will also save some money. When you take these savings into account, then the impact of organic food costs will not seem so severe.

It is my view that when one takes personality responsibility and begins to adopt a healthy lifestyle and diet - of course, this goes beyond merely eating organic foods - then one will naturally become stronger and healthier. In the long run, more savings - on doctor visits, drugs, surgeries, etc - will result.

Lowering absolute organic food costs

In terms of absolute dollars, yes, organic foods still cost more than most conventional foods today. However, we could take some simple steps to reduce one's personal organic food cost outlay.

Firstly, and very significantly, buy locally grown organic produce. Not only would they be cheaper, they are also fresher and possibly healthier.

I live in a climate where carrots, apples and oranges cannot be grown. Thus, I purchase imported produce, which costs a lot more - I'm also paying for the storage, shipping, etc.

In addition, by carrying out your purchases at local farmers' markets, you are skipping middlemen, thus further lowering your expenses. When I purchase locally grown organic fruits and vegetables, my organic food costs are actually not much higher than if I had purchased commercially grown produce.

Next is to learn to look out for bargains. When I visit health food stores, I sometimes spend hours scouring through the various products on display. Those which contain undesirable ingredients are immediately struck off.

Among the many health food products, there are some with pretty astronomical prices - usually, I don't buy them too. Instead, I look out for products which are much more reasonably priced. I sometimes find some gems!

Quite a number of food products I consume come from Eden Organic, an organic company, while Earthbound Farm provides a number of imported produce for me, including salads.

Sometimes, for certain types of foods, especially the dryer varieties which can keep for longer periods, buying in bulk would also help to bring your organic food cost down.

If you allow yourself to be flexible in your food choices and select items which are on sale, you would be able to benefit from even more savings.

Also, if you are able to locate one, then join a co-operative. Co-ops operate for the benefit of their members and are usually able to offer services and products at lower prices, with less price markup.

If you take these simple steps, you will be surprised that your expenses on organic food can be much lower than expected and kept at a pretty manageable level.

We can be pretty sure that as demand for healthy organic foods continue to grow, and organic farming and organic food products become more popular, economies of scale would help to bring down overall organic food costs.

The way I see, even though the prices of organic food are higher, it's an investment for good health.

Would we purchase poor quality petrol, and poor quality engine oil, which we know have harmful substances which would damage our cars, just because they are cheaper? Probably not.

Why then would we buy and consume poor quality foods on a regular basis, knowing they are doing harm to our precious bodies?

Book Description

Integer Partitions

The theory of integer partitions is a subject of enduring interest as well as a major research area. It has found numerous applications, including celebrated results such as the Rogers-Ramanujan identities. The aim of this introductory textbook is to provide an accessible and wide-ranging introduction to partitions, without requiring anything more than some familiarity with polynomials and infinite series. Many exercises are included, together with some solutions and helpful hints.

Discovery Channel Gets a Web Video Arm, Courtesy of Revision 3

rev3screen.pngWeb video is supposed to disrupt cable TV. And maybe it will, one day. In the meantime, the cable guys are doing just fine.

Here's a proof point: The Discovery Channel has purchased Revision3, a Web video startup that makes and distributes its own shows, like "Tekzilla" and "Epic Meal Time."

Discovery isn't disclosing a purchase price, but multiple sources familiar with the transaction tell me the cable guys will pay around $30 million for the startup. The company ended up raising about $10 million during its six-year lifespan, with the last chunk coming from a group of investors that included Mark Cuban.

All of Revision3′s 50 employees are supposed stay on, and there's a chance they could end up pulling down sizeable earnouts. But they probably won't, because that's the nature of earnouts.

TechCrunch reported the deal talks earlier this week.

This deal isn't an acqhire, as Discovery intends to keep Revision3 operating out of its San Francisco headquarters. The idea is that Revision3 will continue to make its own Web shows, which generate some 100 million streams a month, and that Discovery will eventually figure out ways to sync up some of its own stuff into the mix.

"We want them to continue doing what they're doing, and to continue developing native digital talent," says Discovery's digital boss JB Perrette. To date Discovery hasn't done a lot with Web video, and has traditionally kept most of its cable programming off the Internet. That's changed a bit recently, via library deals with Amazon and Netflix, and may ramp up a bit more in the future.

The deal comes as big Web players are trying to convince advertisers that their video stuff is just as good as TV - see Google's big show in New York last night.

But Discovery thinks there's still a distinction between TV and the Web - which is why it wanted to buy Revision3 in the first place, "We produce content on a $500,000 to $750,000 an hour scale," Perrette says. "Producing something at a 10th of that cost means it has to be very different."

Meanwhile Revision3 CEO Jim Louderback, who used to write blog posts with titles like "Cable TV Is Screwd" now says there's life in the cable business, after all. "One's not going to destroy the other, he says. "I don't think any new media destroys the other, i think it just creates its own path."

Thursday Top Ten: fantasy books to encourage children to read

I Heart Booksphoto credit: flickr

Two strong predictors of future academic success for our youngest children, when you have a supportive family life, are vocabulary and being read to daily. Simply put, the more hours a child spends reading and being read to coupled with a  large vocabulary, the better off children will be.

For older children, reading comprehension is the single most important skill your child will need to learn, both to have that academic success and to become a life-long reader and knowledge-seeker. Academic success will only get us so far in life. We want to encourage our children to be curious, to ask questions, to seek answers, to love to learn and explore, and to always, always be thinking.

The most effective way to accomplish all of these things and have fun doing it is to read, read, read aloud to your children as much as possible and to choose books and stories that you and your children are invested in. For this, I highly suggest visiting your local library often to explore the vast range it has to offer.

Old Booksphoto credit: flickr

For the most opportunities for learning, choose books that are highly imaginative: fairies, dragons, giants, magic, time travel, pirates… fantasy. Reading fantasy can lead to greater curiosity about the natural world, challenge the imagination, and encourage creative writing. Fantasy can lead our children to other worlds and teach them to be better citizens of ours.

The books on the following list are all ones that we have actually read, or are currently reading. This is not a theoretical top ten list, or a top ten list of the most wonderfully written children’s fantasy books, but it is a top ten list of books that my children have loved and have asked to read again. My oldest son has also chosen to read many of these to himself after we have read them together. They are tried and true and I hope your children love them too.

Top Ten Fantasy Books, listed from easiest to most difficult:

1. Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak – “And the wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws.”

Who hasn’t felt something like a wild thing from time to time? Knowing that even after behaving like one and becoming king of all, you can still come home to your own room to a warm meal, is the best kind of love. If you have a Max, or even if you don’t, there is something special about this book that keeps us reading it over and over again.

2. Harold and the Purple Crayon 50th Anniversary Edition (Purple Crayon Books) by Crockett Johnson – “One night, after thinking it over for some time, Harold decided to go for a walk in the moonlight.”

Oh, how I love this gentle story exploring the imagination of a little boy and his purple crayon. I love how he keeps his wits, goes on adventures, and helps deserving animals have pie feasts, all with the power of his purple crayon.

3. Raising Dragons by Jerdine Nolen – “The same way Pa knew that farming was in his blood, I knew that raising dragons was in mine. There are some things you just know.”

What little girl doesn’t dream of raising her very own dragon? Well she certainly will after reading this book. The daughter of practical farmers finds her true calling when the egg she discovers hatches a dragon. She knows that she was meant to raise this dragon and so she does until she has to take him back to his tropical homeland due to the overwhelming crowds and attention he draws. Sweet, loving, and a book the whole family can enjoy together.

4. Commander Toad series by Jane Yolen – “Long green ships fly through space past the winking of a thousand thousand stars. There is one ship, one mighty ship, long and green, called Star Warts. The captain of this ship is brave and bright, bright and brave. His name is COMMANDER TOAD.”

For children who can’t get enough of Star Wars, but who (or who’s parents) might be looking for something a little different, this is the series! With seven books altogether and plenty of puns, this will keep early readers busy and provide fun material for more experienced readers.

5. Magic Tree House Series by Mary Pope Osbourne – “There–at the top–was a tree house. It was tucked between two branches.” And so began the many adventures of Jack and Annie, through time and through books.

My boys love these books. There is just enough adventure and magic with just enough history to keep it interesting for kids and parents alike. My 7 year old has never wanted to read the series in order and skips around to the subjects he finds most interesting. Each book gives an opportunity to learn more about a time or place that has some historical significance and has prompted some wonderful conversations: mummies in ancient Egypt, rainforests in the Amazon, Vikings and Irish monks, and even the American Civil War.

6. The Enchanted Wood, The Faraway Tree ,and The Folk of The Faraway Tree by Enid Blyton – “It’s a simply enormous tree,” said Jo. “Its top goes right up to the clouds-and oh, Dick, at the top of it is always some strange land. You can go there by climbing up the top branch of the Faraway Tree, going up a little ladder through a hole in the big cloud that always lies on the top of the tree -and there you are in some peculiar land!”

These books were lovingly introduced to me by Read Aloud Dad. I just knew we had to get one from the library for my 5 year old’s first chapter book at bedtime. It was a huge hit! This is the book for children who want to listen to stories about three children (and later their cousin too) going on adventures in an Enchanted Wood with a magical Faraway Tree inhabited by angry pixies, fairies, a saucepan man, and Moon-face (so called because of his very round face) where Lands with names like, The Land of Ice and Snow, The Land of Take-What-You-Want, or The Land of Birthdays visit the top of the tree for a short time and then change again.

We are reading the original books, no editing of the 1930’s British names or anything else. It has been quite interesting to read a book in English and not understand many of the things they say because of the differences in time and place.

7. Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin – “What a poor fortune we have. Every day, Ba and Ma work and work and we still have nothing. I wish I could change our fortune.”

Minli and her parents work very hard living in the shadow of Fruitless Mountain, yet remain in desperate poverty. Minli’s father tells old folktales every night to keep their minds off their circumstances. His stories include the Jade Dragon, Magistrate Tiger, and the Old Man of the Moon who keeps the book of everyone’s destiny. Minli decides one day to seek the Old Man of the Moon to change her family’s fortune. Along the way she meets a wonderful cast of characters – a flightless dragon and a talking fish among others – that help her in her quest. A beautifully woven tale with strong morals and enough adventure and fantasy to satisfy all curious minds!

8. When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead – “Sometimes you never feel meaner than the moment you stop being mean. It’s like how turning on a light makes you realize how dark the room had gotten. And the way you usually act, the things you would have normally done, are like these ghosts that everyone can see but pretends not to.”

Miranda is a fairly ordinary sixth grader growing up in 1970’s New York when her life is changed by a message from the future. The novel follows ordinary themes like independence and friendship, interweaving them with mystery and time travel. Three plot lines – Miranda’s mom preparation for and appearance on The $20,000 Pyramid, Miranda’s oldest friend Sal suddenly not talking with her, and the appearance of a strange laughing man – all come together at the end in an unpredictable conclusion that will keep children engaged until the very end.

Miranda’s favorite book is Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time. This sold me on at least trying this book out, plus it is a Newberry Medal winner. Deservedly so. This is a subtle, character driven novel that may be best suited for the ages it was intended for, but my 6 year old absolutely loved it.

9. A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin – “To be oneself is a rare thing, and a great one.”

Long before Harry Potter, was another youth with a talent for magic and recklessness. A coming of age story with magic and adventure at the center. “Ged was the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea,  but once he was called Sparrowhawk, a reckless  youth, hungry for power and knowledge, who tampered with long-held secrets and loosed a terrible shadow upon the world. This is the tale of his testing, how he mastered the mighty words of power, tamed an ancient dragon, and crossed death’s threshold to restore the balance.”

Admittedly, we have only just begun this book, but any book that has been given as high praise as this one deserves to be on this list. Plus she is a local author!

10. The BFG by Roald Dahl – “The witching hour, somebody had once whispered to her, was a special moment in the middle of the night when every child and every grown-up was in a deep deep sleep, and all the dark things came out from hiding and had the world all to themselves.”

This is the darkest of all the books listed here. My son could handle the idea that there were giants sneaking about in the middle of the night searching for “human beans” to gobble up, but there certainly may be some that will not. The BFG is The Big Friendly Giant for he does not partake in the guzzling and munching of human beans like the rest of the giants.

One night, a little girl named Sophie sees the BFG and he takes her away back to his home in giant land. He keeps her safe and protected from the other giants, but is afraid to let her go because she has seen him. Instead they come up with a plot to stop all the horrible bone-crunching giants, with the help of the Queen of England of course!

The most difficult part about reading this book is the amusing way in which the BFG speaks. For example,

“Yesterday, we was not believing in giants, was we? Today we is not believing in snozzcumbers. Just because we happen not to have actually seen something with our own two winkles, we think it is not existing.”

A truly delightful book, but not for the faint of heart!

There are countless wonderful books in the fantasy genre with wonderful characters and amazing adventures. Have a favorite? Put it in your comment!

Stay tuned for Friday when I introduce fun activities that you can do with each of these books in a Fantasy Book Series!

Thursday Top Ten: fantasy books to encourage children to read — 11 Comments

  1. We are all about reading in my house. I like how you had the books separated from easiest to hardest. My oldest is 7 and she loves reading the Magic Tree House Series right now and she is just getting started on some Dahl. Great list.

  10. Oh wow! I’ve read most of these. I guess I’ve always thought of Earthsea as darker than BFG, because the danger is so much more everpresent for Sparhawk as he goes on to become Ged. BFG always just felt very … real, I guess, and rollicking. The danger was present for sure, but the Giant’s hilarious manner of speaking sort of offset everything else for me. But then, I’m also thinking through to the rest of the story (through to The Other Wind), which isn’t children’s fantasy really any longer. Unless you were a kid like me. And then, those last stories only came out recently, so I came to the later part of the series as an adult.
    Jester Queen recently posted..The Girl Under The Road

    • I really think it does depend on the child, and the parent reading with the child. I will say I certainly struggled with the order of this list! My eldest has a much harder time with characters who are mean than who are violent. When he was 2.5, we had to leave the theater during ‘Elmo in Grouchland’ because he was screaming so loud. ;)

      Parents know their kids and do their best to anticipate reactions, but a little danger isn’t always a bad thing. I never read to the end of the story either. I suppose I should look into that!

The Megaliths of Stonehenge

Stonehenge is one of the oldest and most mysterious archaeological sites in the world. Solitary in the midst of the chalk uplands of southern England, five giant trilithons—two vertical stones with a third lintel laid atop—stand at the focus of a ring of upright stones one hundred feet in diameter. The largest stones weigh over 40 tons, and visitors since Roman times have been baffled by their purpose and the secrets of their construction.

Although Stonehenge is not the only stone circle in Britain, it is one of the most impressive, and through the ages all sorts of theories have purported to explain its origins. In 1136 the medieval English chronicler Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote that its megaliths (from the Greek word for "large stones") had been brought to Ireland by an army of giants from Africa. From there he believed they had been transported to England by the "wondrous engines" of the wizard Merlin. Geoffrey also wrote that the grave of Uther Pendragon, King Arthur's legendary father, lay beneath the stones. In 1650 a leading architect under King James I stated that Stonehenge had actually been a Roman temple. Another authority proclaimed that it had been built by Danish Kings when the Vikings overran England in the 9th century AD, and had been used for coronations. Undoubtedly the most popular theory, however, was first offered by the antiquarian John Aubrey in 1666. He argued that Stonehenge had been built by Celtic priests from western Europe—the Druids—during Roman times.

Send for the Giant's Round which is on Mount Killarus in Ireland. For there stands a stone construction which no man of this age could ever erect, unless he combined great cunning and artistry."

—Geoffrey of Monmouth, medieval English chronicler, 1535

The truth behind Geoffrey's strange tale

Of all these theories, surprisingly it is Geoffrey's tale that contains the most truth. The first structure at Stonehenge was built around 3000 BC when ancient Britons, using deer antlers for picks, dug a simple circular ditch and earth bank. They surrounded this with a ring of fifty-six evenly-spaced wooden posts (now called "Aubrey posts") and then erected two parallel entry stones to the northeast. The great circle of megaliths appeared about a thousand years later. Precisely how such enormous stones were dragged overland to Stonehenge from the Marlborough Downs 20 miles away remains unknown, but they were likely erected by being eased into sloping pits and then pulled upright with the aid of ropes. Yet all this occurred long before Danish Kings, Romans or Druids ever appeared in England.

Sometime between 2000 and 1500 BC, however, a large number of bluestone pillars were erected in two arcs near the center of Stonehenge. The source of these unusual stones remained unknown until 1923, when an English geologist discovered their origin: the Preseli mountains in Wales, over 240 miles away. In the 1920's archaeologists also discovered that the Aubrey post holes contained cremation burials. Amazingly, Geoffrey's fanciful story—of wizards and hidden burials and stones being transported great distances—may thus be a distorted folk memory of the actual building of a part of Stonehenge.

Our Countrymen reckon this for one of our wonders and miracles, and much they marvel from whence such huge stones were brought. I am not curious to argue and dispute, but rather to lament with much grief, that the authors of so notable a monument are buried in oblivion."

—William Camden, historian and antiquarian, 16th century

The astronomical alignments of Stonehenge

The most controversial aspect of Stonehenge involves its astronomical alignments. It has long been known that a person standing at the center of the stone circle will see the sun rise over the so-called "Heel Stone" on the summer solstice. In the 1960's, however, some eminent astronomers argued that the lunar alignments at Stonehenge proved that it was used to predict eclipses. One astronomer even referred to Stonehenge as a "Neolithic computer." Many others have contested this remarkable conjecture, and believe that Stonehenge was simply a ceremonial center. Some of the lunar alignments involve joining together features from different periods in the monument's history, and statistical analysis has also shown that there may be fewer alignments than could be expected by chance alone.

Cold and silent, the megaliths at Stonehenge leave us few clues to resolve the issue, and we may never know with certainty what secrets lie hidden in their crumbling patterns. But the megalith builders left hundreds of other puzzles scattered across the British Isles and Northern France, such as the stone circles at Callanish and Castlerigg, the rows of menhirs at Carnac, and the Newgrange tomb in Ireland. Perhaps these hold the key that will decode Stonehenge.

Fall for the Arts: September 20

By Patty Housman

Fall for the Arts

Have you ever wanted to join a band, perform in a Shakespeare play, or become a landscape photographer for a day? If so, you’ll have your chance at the College of Arts and Sciences’ annual Fall for the Arts celebration, held this year on September 20 at the Katzen Arts Center.

Each year, Fall for the Arts brings together neighbors, students, faculty, and friends through a day devoted to the arts. The event features nearly 20 workshops and sessions on acting, music, writing, and visual art, as well as a behind-the-scene tour of the museum and surprise performances throughout the day.

This year’s workshops include Drawing in the Italian Renaissance, No-Fear Shakespeare, Fundamentals of Color, Writing the 4-Chord Song, and many more. Participants will learn how to age creatively, use acting methods to improve public speaking, and unlock their inner playwright. Children can build their very own cabinets of curiosity, learn how to interpret musical recipes, and experience the 13 movements of Schumann’s Scenes from a Childhood.

Reception and Auction

The day concludes with an early evening reception in the Katzen Arts Center and an art auction featuring 34 items from the estate of prominent art collector Marc Moyens. Auction works include paintings, sculptures, and mixed media pieces from artists including James Bumgardner, Alan Stone, Maureen McCabe, and Carlos Gomez Bal, among many others.

When H. Marc Moyens founded Gallery Marc in 1969, he quickly became a central figure in the Washington, DC, arts world. Gallery Marc was part of the District's first "gallery row" on P Street Northwest, establishing Moyens as a serious arts collector and one of the first major gallery owners in the city. He later opened Gallery K with his partner Komei Wachi in 1975, which bucked current trends by focusing on photorealism and surrealism at a time when the Washington Color School was favored. Upon his death in April 2003, Moyens' collection contained nearly 2,500 pieces, encompassing art from New York, California, and all around the world.

Paul Richard, in his Washington Post review of the H. Marc Moyens Collection at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in 1969, hit the nail on the head when he described the works as "realistic spooky things that have the originality of nightmares." Richard went on to note that "Moyens' taste is at its best when it is at its weirdest."

Details and Ticket Information

Fall for the Arts is a fundraiser for the arts at American University. All proceeds benefit the arts at AU. It is open to the public, local residents, patrons of the arts, parents of AU students, and the entire AU community. Tickets are $25 and $10 for students and those under 18. For workshop schedules, online tickets, and auction information, visit the Fall for the Arts website.
