I wonder when Turkey began growing tobacco??

====
Tobacco History in Turkey goes all the way back to the early 17th century as a result of trade with foreign [Spanish] merchants.
====
1633 - Turkey introduces a death penalty for smoking but it doesn't stay in effect for long and is lifted in 1647.

38 Usually I hate yellowish light like this, but since this is supposed to be a period piece, and the room or tavern they're in would probably be lit only by candles and/or lanterns, I'll go with it.

I'll admit I've never read TI all the way through. We had an illustrated version at home when I was a kid, but I remember only the pen-and0ink drawings. Was Jim Hawkins the young hero of the story, as in a Heinlein juvenile?

74 Yes, the fact that the parrot's cage is swaying suggests they're aboard a ship that is underway (or is it "underweigh"?). Jim has his legs braced for the swells, whie Long John is safely ensconced in his chair or on his stool, with teh table to brace him.

Jim in profile here looks kind of like Jake Gyllenhaal. Long John resembles character actor Alan Reed, who was the first to voice Fred Flintstone.

75 I can understand how men of this era would desire a few acres of their own to farm and scratch out a living as best they could. The idea of setting to sea with 100 other dudes in close quarters, against God-knows-what terrors of the ocean, in a rickety ship that must've stunk of fish guts, urine, vomit, and b.o. -- all for a promise of a paycheck if the nets were full...

96 A capital ship for a sailing trip was the Walloping Window Blind,
No wind that blew dismayed its crew or troubled the captain's mind
The man at the wheel was made to feel contempt for the wildest blow-ow-ow,
Though it often appeared when the storm had cleared that he'd been in his bunk below.

When I was young my father brought me over to a friend's house because they were working on the roof and my mom was out of town, so he left me in the TV room where there was a caged parrot. With very strict warnings to not try to touch the parrot because he would bite your fingers off.

To this day I don't know if that was true or if it was just a way to get me to leave the bird alone.

The horror in my young drinking days was Harwood Canadian. It only came in quarts -- for about the same price as a fifth of Canadian Club -- so it looked like a value buy. After the hangover developed (and this was *before* you went to sleep), you realized: They were sending this stuff out in quarts, trying to *get rid* of it as fast as possible.

I recall a cheap Scotch in the early '70s called Sir Malcolm. After I tried it, and then had something better, I realized why my mother said Scotch tasted to her like iodine.

Brian Schatz of Hawaii? He is young, and his career in Hawaii was diverse.

As old as Bernie is I see him doing more fighting that most of the others. Tell Jefferies to get off the eggs and food talk for now. They need to be POUNDING about social security and Medicare, medicaid and the ACA 24/7. Who gives a flying fuck about eggs and bacon if you lose your SS??

Love Bernie, but we need a youth movement. Bernie would agree. Plus, he's technically not even a Democrat.

Elizabeth Warren FTW! What a fine president she would have made. She's got fire in spades. Schumer has no stage presence or charisma. We need someone like Warren who will FIGHT!

I don't think she will play well with the masses. Particularly on the age issue.

No one is going to replace Schumer. He was reelected unanimously by his caucus a few months ago. This is fantasy.

That's awesome, Nurse.

I have a very fond memory of reading Treasure Island in elementary school (checked it out from the library and subsequently drew a treasure map as part of some school project) -- and had forgotten about the artwork drawings.

Listened to the audiobook version about five years ago and absolutely re-loved it.

Unfortunately, my single mom never read books to us -- so we just ended up watching too much TV as kids (what a waste, although I've made up for it in adulthood).

Captain comes storming in. Asks what is going on.
Spencer tells the captain that he beat his ass because he was raping his friend. Captain tells him, "you don't enforce law. My ship! I do".

Then proceeds to shoot the rapist in head.

270 Late to the thread.
YES!!! Treasure Island with the Wyeth illustrations was my first 'real' book. Maybe first grade. I have been in love with his art since then. His ability to use lighting to set a mood or effect is wonderful. Then add in the rich colors, in this case the golden yellows and browns, to add to the drama. Then the way he portrays natural postures whether in a relaxed scene like today's or a sword fight between enraged pirates. He always captures the feel of the words he is illustrating.

BTW, my favorite Wyeth illustration from Treasure Island is the one of Blind Pew approaching the inn. It was terrifying, in a good way, my 6 or 7 year old self. It still creeps me out a bit.

276 North Korean hackers stole $1.5 billion in cryptocurrencies - Ether, specifically.

However, Ether is down 27% so the haul is only worth $1 billion now.

285 The Lefties in Iowa are freaking out, with daily protests at the Capitol, as the state legislature is about to make major modifications to laws removing all the artificial protections for trans people...I think. It's hard to find unbiased info on the legislation being proposed, but Reddit shows protestors with queer flags chanting about protecting trans youth, so it's got to be good.

Maybe something about losing protections for hiring and such, unlike race, gender, sexual orientation, medical status, etc.

287 "Am I the only one who shared this story and spent time pondering and appreciating the artwork in Treasure Island with their sons?"

I have fond memories of reading "Treasure Island" to my kids. Many years ago, Chicago's late, lamented Terra Museum of American Art had a show of work by N. C. Wyeth, featuring many of the paintings from the wonderful Scribners editions of "Treasure Island" and "Kidnapped". These are big canvases, easily 4'x6', and very powerful when seen live - and the kids LOVED it! In particular, they were drawn to the painting of Blind Pew groping his way down the road as he's abandoned by his fellow pirates - a shocking and terrifying picture.

318 33 English actor Robert Newton was the one who played LJ Silver in the 1950 Disney Treasure Island, and is said to have used his memories of Dorset/Cornwall dialect to create the vocal pattern we now call "Talk Like a Pirate."
Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius
------
Truro story?
-----
It's true, Newton came from the Bristol Channel side of Dorset, where the Admiral Benbow is located in the story. He honestly said that the sailors & other people of that area didn't speak with the usual quasi-Cockney accent of English theater. So he used the local dialect, accented for dramatic emphasis, and so we got pirate speak. As George McDonald Fraser put it, "speaking in that Mummerset accent which kept Robert Newton in gainful employment."
