Hamilton, Ian
Ian Hamilton 1938-2001
(Born Robert Ian Hamilton) English poet, nonfiction writer, essayist, editor, and biographer.
The following entry presents an overview of Hamilton's career through 2003.
Recognized as one of the most notable literary critics, poets, and biographers of the twentieth century, Hamilton is applauded for his uncompromising standards of excellence. His role as founder and editor of two short-lived but influential literary magazines, as well as his tenure as editor of the Times Literary Supplement, established his lasting influence on the world of letters. Hamilton's own poetic output is praised for its finely crafted verse, characterized by restrained but powerful emotion.
Biographical Information
Hamilton was born March 24, 1938, in King's Lynn, Norfolk, England. He attended Keble College, Oxford, earning a B.A. with honors in 1962. He founded and edited The Review, a small but well-respected literary journal published between 1962 and 1972. The Review ceased publication for two years, and was reestablished in 1974 as The New Review under Hamilton's editorship. Hamilton served as poetry and fiction editor for the Times Literary Supplement from 1965 to 1973. He was a lecturer in poetry at the University of Hull in 1971. For the next few decades, he wrote literary reviews and biographies and edited several prestigious collections of essays and poems. In 1988, controversy erupted over issues of copyright infringement in his biography In Search of J. D. Salinger. In an early manuscript for the biography, Hamilton quoted substantial passages from unpublished letters of Salinger held in a library archive. Learning of this, Salinger sued Hamilton for copyright infringement; Hamilton was ordered to re-edit the biography, cutting out the quotes from Salinger's letters. Later, Salinger filed another lawsuit, claiming that Hamilton heavily paraphrased the letters and thereby violated copyright law. When a high court ruled in Salinger's favor, Hamilton was forced to re-edit his book once again. Hamilton died December 27, 2001, in London.
Major Works
Hamilton is known as a bold and controversial literary biographer. Robert Lowell (1982) traces the life of the celebrated modern American poet, focusing on Lowell's mental breakdowns due to manic-depression. A Gift Imprisoned (1998) chronicles the early years of nineteenth-century English poet Matthew Arnold. In this biography, Hamilton addresses the question of why Arnold abandoned the writing of poetry in his middle age, turning instead to literary criticism. In Search of J. D. Salinger is viewed as much a chronicle of Hamilton's thwarted efforts to research Salinger's life as it is a biography of Salinger himself. Inspired by his experiences with the Salinger biography, Hamilton wrote Keepers of the Flame (1992), a critical discussion of the rise of literary biography, and the struggles between those who hold the estates of deceased writers and the biographers who wish to research writers' lives. As a poet, Hamilton has been called a minimalist. His poems tend to be short—most are fewer than twelve lines—written in finely crafted free verse, with a strong element of lyricism. Most of the poems in The Visit (1970) concern Hamilton's struggles with the death of his father and the mental breakdown of his wife. Fifty Poems (1988) comprises all of the thirty-three pieces in The Visit, with additional poems written since 1970. Sixty Poems (1997) includes all of Fifty Poems and ten newer works.
Hamilton was regarded as an influential critic and editor. His opinions were often harsh and uncompromising, and did not shy away from criticizing the works of such acknowledged masters as T. S. Eliot and William Carlos Williams. Hamilton's Against Oblivion (2002), published posthumously, provides brief essays on the life and work of forty-five American and English poets of the twentieth century whose works Hamilton believed would survive the test of time. In The Little Magazines (1976), Hamilton examined six small but significant literary magazines, and in Writers in Hollywood (1990) he explored the role of screenwriters in the moviemaking process, considering several literary figures who became Hollywood screenwriters. Hamilton's collections of essays and reviews include A Poetry Chronicle (1963), Walking Possession (1994), and "The Trouble with Money" and Other Essays (1998). As editor of The Faber Book of Soccer (1992), he collected several notable essays on the history of professional soccer as well as recollections of the game's greatest moments.
Critical Reception
As a poet, critic, biographer, and editor, Hamilton has garnered both widespread admiration and pointed criticism. Many reviewers have praised his limited poetic oeuvre—some sixty poems over the course of a lifetime—as restrained but emotionally intense works of minimalist verse. Hamilton's authoritative biographies of Lowell and Arnold have met with mixed reviews. Critics have investigated the thoroughness of his research and asserted that he sometimes focuses on the sensationalist aspects of his subject's life. Hamilton's controversial biography of Salinger has been described, in retrospect, as an embarrassment to Hamilton, whose efforts to document the life of a writer he supposedly admired caused nothing but grief for Salinger—not to mention the would-be biographer. Commentators have asserted that Hamilton's most significant contribution to English letters may be his prominent influence as an editor, reviewer, and literary critic, setting the highest of standards in his assessments of modern poetry and providing a fresh perspective on the received masters, as well as championing contemporary poets who might otherwise have gone unnoticed.

SOURCE: Fried, Michael. "Strictly Personal." Spectator 225, no. 7417 (22 August 1970): 187-88.
[In the following review, Fried calls The Visit "a magnificent book" and praises the lyrical qualities of Hamilton's poems.]
The poems in Ian Hamilton's first collection, The Visit, are relatively short. Within a given poem the lines are usually of different lengths: some of the most striking moments are the result of juxtaposing long and short lines ('O world leave this alone / At least / This shocked and slightly aromatic fall of leaves …'). Almost no use is made of end-rhyme, which Hamilton does not need and which besides would distort the delicate internal movement of his poems.
His extraordinary control of pace and rhythm enables him to secure the integrity of each line without apparent effort. His line-breaks are at once natural and musical, ineluctable and unsettling. And in general his poems possess a consistent though never monotonous tone, keyed to direct speech but informed by a unique aural sensibility that cares equally about accentual stresses and the precise quantity of even the most fleeting syllable. Within that consistency of tone the fine texture of the sound—for example, the weight and duration of individual syllables—may alter radically from one line to another ('Out of bounds, you kneel in the long grass / Deciphering obliterated names: / Old lunatics who died here'). Largely by virtue of such modulations Hamilton more than once infuses set, almost pat, metrical formations with new feeling ('To each lost soul, at this late hour / A medicated pang of happiness').
Hamilton's eye is, by and large, less remarkable than his ear, though The Visit contains short passages and indeed whole poems of great descriptive force. But whereas the minuteness of his control of sound is unremitting, his images are on occasion curiously out of focus, inexact. ('Our smoking heads / Drift back to us / From the grey...

[In the following review of A Poetry Chronicle, Fenton asserts that, while Hamilton's criticism may be severe, it offers a fresh perspective on the received literary masters.]
One often hears Ian Hamilton's poetry criticism referred to as 'severe' or 'stern', and among certain circles there is a vague suspicion that Hamilton, at heart, really doesn't much like poetry at all. This is typical of our times—the opposite of severe being in this case 'indulgent': it sometimes seems that poets are engaged in a sort of Dig for Victory campaign in which every little...

Founding father of the 'Greek Street cénacle,' Ian Hamilton has been editing The Review and contributing to The Observer, TLS, London Magazine and other periodicals for just over ten years. The earliest of his collected reviews and essays is dated 1963, which could have been only a short time after he came down from Oxford with a traditionally indifferent degree.

[In the following review of The Little Magazines, Pritchett provides an overview of Hamilton's discussion of each of six literary magazines and their editors. He praises Hamilton's writing as funny and ironic but also fair and even-handed.]
How to define 'the little magazine'? In name and in time of birth it has the air of being a fierce, chaste sister of the little theatre movement and the sharp one-act plays that made the orthodox theatre look comatose. There was the protest against the heavy Reviews, and other commercial productions at the beginning of the...

The 'little magazine' of yesterday could best be defined as a publication in which magnitude of ambition was in inverse proportion to meagreness of funds and of sales. In England at least, all that has changed; and it can now best be defined as a publication in which meagreness of ambition and of sales is in inverse proportion to the magnitude of an Arts Council subsidy. Of the three English magazines dealt with by Ian Hamilton in this witty book [The Little Magazines]—he...

"There's a strange fact about the poets of roughly our age, and one that doesn't exactly seem to have always been true. It's this, that to write we seem to have to go at it with such single-minded intensity that we are always on the point of drowning."

[In the following review, Howes offers a mixed assessment of Hamilton's Robert Lowell, describing the biography as "both compelling and repelling."]
The poet Robert Lowell was a mass of contradictions. In World War II he was a conscientious objector who went to jail rather than serve in the armed forces. Against United States involvement in the Vietnam war he was one of the foremost protestors, taking part with Norman Mailer and Dr. Benjamin Spock in the speeches made at the time of the march on the Pentagon. He was a pacifist.

[In the following review of Robert Lowell, Pettingell comments that Hamilton's biography "illuminates Lowell's poetry through a profound understanding of his life."]
The myth of the bard who is mad, bad and dangerous to know fascinates readers. Often poets fall under its malign spell, too, and feel they must live up to the part. But in Robert Lowell Ian Hamilton describes one who was a prisoner of cyclical breakdowns. Lowell himself once observed in a letter to his friend, John Berryman, "What queer lives we've had, even for poets! There seems...

[In the following review of Robert Lowell, Simon praises Hamilton for extensive research and enjoyable writing style.]
A once popular concept of the poet that still lingers on in some quarters perceives him as: (1) an eternal child, unable to look after himself and living by the grace and nurture of friends and sympathetic strangers; (2) a heavy drinker and womanizer—except when he is (2a) a drug addict or pederast; (3) capable of saying and doing the most outrageous things; and (4) mad as a hatter.

Why do we need biographies of writers? I can think of only two I would not be without, and Boswell and John Forster not only had an affectionate, awed familiarity with their great subjects, they also had a marvellous story to tell. Most writers, however, do not lead particularly interesting lives, and would not be written about were it not for their art. Yet there is no doubt that people want biographies, and mostly, I suspect, for what they feel are excusable reasons (though...

In 1966 Robert Lowell remarked in a letter: 'John B. in his mad way keeps talking about something evil stalking us poets. That's a bad way to talk, but there's truth in it.' 'John B.' is of course John Berryman. Six years after that letter, he jumped off a bridge in Minneapolis. Five years after Berryman's suicide, Lowell died of a heart attack in a New...

Given the relish these days for scandalous life over honorable art, it should come as no surprise that Ian Hamilton's biography of the American poet Robert Lowell has attracted far more attention than any of the poet's books ever did.

This is a small, indispensable volume. It is a "collected poems" by any other name: but "fifty" expresses more regret, more limitation and more anxiety about the book's achievement than "collected" ever could.

Ian Hamilton, author of the definitive biography of Robert Lowell, is having fun this time out.
Obviously no book that is only 330 pages long and covers the history of motion pictures from 1915 to 1951, can hope to do justice to its subject. Writers in Hollywood must be seen as a sort of primer on the subject.

And the image moved. In silence. The images were first seen in penny arcades, "nickel-in-the-slot Kinetoscopes and Mutoscopes," as Ian Hamilton notes, "with their two-minute vaudeville routines, their circus turns and boxing bouts."

It was when "Vlad" Nabokov made a brief appearance in the first half that I realised this was no Second Division line-up. Mind you, by his own account, he made a hash of keeping goal.

Quite often, sitting through a parish church council meeting, I think that if an earnest pagan were present he would suppose that Christianity was about saving the steeple. And thus, this anthology.

This is a book which I nearly wrote myself.

Literary biography suffers from a chronic identity crisis.

It is harder to review a collection of critical essays than other kinds of nonfiction. A little easier, to be sure, if you take issue with the critic; but what if you are full of admiring approbation? You end up reduced to quoting enthusiastically more and more passages, till the review becomes an anthology of quotations, a miniature commonplace book. I am not sure I can escape this predicament in reviewing Ian Hamilton's Walking Possession: Essays and...

[In the following review, Firchow offers a mixed assessment of Hamilton's Walking Possession.]
Despite the suggestion in the odd title of this book that its contents will represent the accumulated ravings of a perambulatory lunatic, Ian Hamilton's assorted reflections on life and letters in Britain (and, to a lesser extent, the United States) during the latter half of the twentieth century are mostly characterized by their unusual sanity and sensibility. This is true, as it turns out, even of the title itself [Walking Possession],...

[In the following review, Pinsker asserts that Hamilton's Walking Possession is witty, enjoyable, and thought-provoking.]
In much the same way that good novelists explore the arc of their obsessions in book after book, the essayists who most matter follow the threads of an individual essay only to discover that it leads to yet another sustained rumination—and in due course to a collection lodged between stately hardcovers. No doubt there are as many versions of this ur-tale as there are essayists, but one central fact remains: while a clear,...

[In the following review, Taylor praises Hamilton's scholarship in A Gift Imprisoned. Taylor observes that Hamilton's biography of Matthew Arnold provides insight into the cultural context in which the poet lived and worked.]
In Wild Oats, Jacob Epstein's novel of 1970s' US campus life, the hero, Billy Williams, is induced to explain the meaning of "Dover Beach" to an ignorant fellow-student. Effortfully, each cadence reduced to a demotic approximation, some kind of decoding is achieved, by which time initial bewilderment yields up to grudging approval of...

[In the following review, Scammell offers a mixed review of Hamilton's A Gift Imprisoned. Scammell comments that Hamilton succeeds in "bringing Arnold vividly to life," but comments that the book is not an entirely thorough examination of the poet's life and work.]
Who was the 'much-pondered Marguerite', subject of Arnold's early love poems? How did Matt cope with that mother and father of all headmasters, Dr Arnold of Rugby? What was his attitude to his own gifts? 'Why did he abandon the poetic life and settle for three decades of drudgery as an...

The 1970s is my lost decade, the era before I started keeping albums and having regular money. One of the things I do know about it is that I worked for a while for Ian Hamilton on the New Review, a high-profile monthly literary magazine which took over the Soho building, 11 Greek...

[In the following review, Greenlaw offers a favorable assessment of Hamilton's Sixty Poems.]
Ian Hamilton long ago decided to keep his poetry apart from what he referred to as his "so-called literary life". As founder of the Review, biographer of Matthew Arnold and Robert Lowell, and one of the best critical essayists we have, Hamilton as a literary figure is anything but "so-called". As for his poetry, he seems to have understood its nature early on when he decided to stop "thinking like a poetry pro … fretting about range" or "output"....

[In the following review of A Gift Imprisoned, Vendler questions Hamilton's assessment of Arnold's life and work.]
The provocative case of Matthew Arnold is raised again in this new but truncated life of that extraordinary man. By entitling his account A Gift Imprisoned: The Poetic Life, Ian Hamilton (a poet himself, and the author of the first full biography of Robert Lowell) gives short shrift to the last thirty-five years of his subject's life, during which Arnold's poetic composition declined while his writing of critical prose increased. Those latter...

I agreed, by telephone, to review [The Penguin Book of Twentieth Century Essays], and before it arrived by post I tried to work out a definition of 'essay'. Yes, yes, I know it means a try.

The title of Ian Hamilton's study of Matthew Arnold's poetry is taken from a poem by W. H. Auden that probes the reason why Arnold "thrust his (poetic) gift in prison till it died." Auden's diagnosis is that Arnold's allegiance to his dead father's memory caused him to turn away from the life of...

[In the following essay, Pritchard asserts that Hamilton distinguished himself most significantly as an essayist, poetry reviewer, and editor of literary journals.]
The literary world is very much the poorer for the passing of Ian Hamilton, as gifted a poetry critic and editorial presence as we are likely to encounter. In this country he may have been known mostly as the writer whom J. D. Salinger prevented from publishing the biography Hamilton submitted to his publisher.

[In the following obituary, Porter asserts that Hamilton was both "the best judge of writing" in England and "the master stylist of our age."]
When a gifted writer, who is also a friend, dies, mourning has to be shared between personal feeling and the need to contribute something to the public tribute. Being unable to ring Ian Hamilton to fix a lunch date or to discuss some literary crisis or other, is only the beginning of the missingness.

[In the following review, Potts describes Hamilton's Against Oblivion as light entertainment lacking in serious thought.]
When one considers how much of English poetry, from Anglo-Saxon onwards, is about transience—about how all things fade and are forgotten in time—and that many poems are (rarely confident) attempts simply to slow that journey to irrevocable oblivion, one might conclude that its lessons have been lost most often on poets themselves. Many poets desire, secretly or not, fame, remuneration or posterity; and the omnivorous desire all three. Few...

Imlah further states that Hamilton's central concern in this book is with "the business of poetry," the competitive squabbles among poets jostling for lasting status as literary greats.]

Ian Hamilton died on 27 December, to the great grief of those who knew him or cared about his work. Like one of those 'men of letters' who are sometimes supposed to have vanished from the scene, he worked in a number of different capacities. He was a poet, an editor, an essayist, a reviewer, an anthologist and a biographer. It all began in Darlington, where he grew up, fell in love with football, and studied with a Leavisite schoolmaster. Leavis's teachings appealed...

Somebody was bound to rise to the bait, and I suppose it might as well be me, biased as I am. In the current issue of the poetry magazine PN Review, the Editor, Michael Schmidt, levels various insults at the late Ian Hamilton, which he somehow forgot to level during Hamilton's lifetime. Schmidt uses a long-ago review by Donald Davie of Hamilton's first prose book, A Poetry Chronicle (1974), as his blunt instrument. He...

On The Record
Conewango Twp.
Charged. Conewango Township Police responded to Wal-Mart, North Warren, at 11:16 p.m. Jan. 11 for a reported unconscious female in the women's restroom. Police said Walmart officials found the woman unconscious in the restroom with a can of inhalant in her hand, but she regained consciousness and left the area before police arrived. Police said they located the female a short time later in a North Warren parking lot. Police said Jada Lee Coursey, 22, 2545 Liberty St. Ext., was treated by EMS and admitted that she had been inhaling a noxious substance to become intoxicated. Police said Coursey was charged with illegal use of a noxious substance, drug paraphernalia, disorderly conduct, public intoxication and scattering rubbish on public property. Charges have been filed at District Justice Laura Bauer's office.
Charged. Conewango Township Police said two men were charged following an incident in the parking lot at Walmart, North Warren, at 1:52 p.m. Jan. 12. According to police, Paul Shelgren, Warren, nearly backed his vehicle into a vehicle in which Kenneth Holman and Pike Stillwagon, both of 154 Railway Lane, Clarendon, were riding. Police said Shelgren got out of his vehicle and shouted at Holman and Stillwagon to move their vehicle. Police said they got out of their vehicle and began yelling obscenities at Shelgren. Police said Stillwagon struck Shelgren's vehicle with his hand and Holman pushed Shelgren while he was sitting in the driver's seat of his car. Police said Shelgren complained of pain in his shoulder. Police said Holman was charged with disorderly conduct and harassment; Stillwagon was charged with disorderly conduct.
Eldred Twp.
Wire down. Warren-based state police responded to the parking lot at Grand Valley Volunteer Fire Department at 3:30 p.m. on Jan. 8. According to police, a presumably large truck with dual tires attempted to exit the north driveway at the fire department and drove under a power line that stretched from a utility pole to the north side of the building. The vehicle caught the wire and pulled it from the side of the building. Police said the side of the building received moderate burn damage as a result. Police said it is presumed that the truck then backed up and drove around to the south driveway of the building, exited the parking lot and fled north on Route 27.
Lost property. Youngsville Borough Police said a citizen brought to their office a ring that had been found in front of Tops, Railroad Street, at approximately 4 p.m. Jan. 10. Anyone with information, or wanting to claim the ring, can contact the borough police at 563-7555.
Accident. Warren-based state police responded to a two-vehicle accident on W. Main Street at 10 a.m. Jan. 12. According to police, a 1995 Subaru Legacy, being driven by a 16-year-old male, was stopped in the westbound lane of W. Main Street, waiting to turn into the Valley Bowling Center parking lot. Police said Dane Freeborough, 21, Youngsville, was also westbound in a 1997 Cadillac and failed to stop before striking the rear of the Subaru. A 39-year-old passenger in the Subaru wasn't injured, but an 11-year-old female in the vehicle sustained a minor injury, police said. Police said Freeborough was charged with driving vehicle at safe speed.

938: T-Cells
Title text: 'We're not sure how to wipe out the chimeral T-cells after they've destroyed the cancer. Though I do have this vial of smallpox ...'
[edit] Explanation
This is a cancer and leukemia related comic. Two characters are having a discussion about a new trial in cancer treatment. A trial is done to test a proposed treatment on a select group of patients before approval for the wider patient group.
In this case, the two characters are talking about a trial in which immune cells are taken out of the patient's body and genetically modified. The modified cells are able to both attack the cancer cells and to replicate very quickly. However, to make these genetic changes inside the cells, they used HIV as the vehicle to introduce these new genes as it is specialized in invading and modifying immune cells.
Basically, this treatment seems to replace one terrible disease with another terrible disease. As the title text says, they don't know how to get rid of the modified T-cells after they remove the cancer. And the last part of the title text is a joke, in which the doctor suggests yet another disease, smallpox, to inject into the patients body.
The treatment described remains experimental, controversial, highly expensive (because it requires customized set of alterations for each individual cancer), and has had some promising results along with some mixed effects: see this summary in science magazine.
[edit] Transcript
- [Two people are standing facing each other, having a conversation. One is holding a laptop.]
- Cueball (with laptop): What's the deal with this leukemia trial? {{Citation: Nejm, Aug 10, 2011}}
- Friend: Gotta wait and see.
- Friend: Helping the immune system attack tumors has been a longtime research target.
- Friend: Lots of promising leads. Often they don't pan out.
- Cueball: What'd these guys do?
- Friend: They took some of the patient's T-cells and patched their genes so they'd attack the cancer. That hasn't been enough in the past but their patch also added code to get the T-cells to replicate wildly and persist in the body.
- Cueball: Which worked, but created its own set of problems?
- Friend: How'd you guess? But I think the craziest part is the way they insert the patched genes.
- Cueball: How?
- Friend: Well, think - What specializes in invading and modifying T-cells?
- Cueball: Seriously?
- Friend: Yup. Must've been a fun conversation.
- [The last panel is set in a doctors office. A patient is sitting on the observation bed talking to their doctor.]
- Patient: Ok, so I have blood cells growing out of control, so you're going to give me different blood cells that also grow out of control?
- Doctor: Yes, but it's ok, because we've treated this blood with HIV!
- Patient: Are you sure you're a doctor?
- Doctor: Almost definitely.

Trial appears to have been a success, although the patient now has no B-cells and thus a compromised immune system (will need regular gamma globulin transfusions and the like). 126.96.36.199 16:54, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

I know it's a joke, but just in case people are taking this seriously, this is worth a read. [3] The key word should have been "lentivirus", not "HIV". The T cells were modified using a heavily altered lentivirus derived from HIV. The virus shouldn't be referred to as HIV, though it makes for some great headlines. 184.108.40.206 20:40, 2 December 2013 (UTC)

Interesting. I had heard a "story" some time ago that disease brought to higher latitudes from newly discovered tropical countries laid waste to myriads due to the fact that the climate was cooler. Maybe it was related to the lack of suitable pathogens in the communities.

This has been driving me insane for about an hour now, so I am hoping someone else has used the site before, and can give me the name/link. I am fairly sure the "game" starts with M, but not certain. Anyway, you have a square, and you click inside the square to set a ball in motion. When the ball impacts a wall, it makes a tone. You can put out multiple balls, and if they bounce into each other, they reflect backwards, which allows you to make interesting patterns of music. This isnt the ball thing where you draw your own walls, and balls drop. The game I am talking about they just go vertical or horizontal only. No diagonals (that I remember) or anything like that.

No, that is a game. This isnt really a game. There is no point, score, nothing. You just put balls into motion, and try to make rhythms for your own enjoyment.

you can sorta do that with "ball droppings"

Yeah, but it isnt the same. There is a specific sound that I am after from this particular thing. Tone Matrix is almost what I am after, but not quite. It has the right tones, but not the same ability to make random patterns.

Day Trip: Sitting Bull Falls
July 15, 2006
Courtesy photo
The cave located in Sitting Bull Falls has been shaped through thousands of years.
Sitting Bull Falls offers adventure and exploration. With its 150-foot waterfall, a cave to explore and pools of water, it's a cool place for visitors looking to beat this summer's heat. With the recent re-opening of Lincoln National Forest, Sitting Bull Falls, located in the Guadalupe Mountains, is now open to the public.
About the Falls
According to Cave Manager and Recreation Assistant Deanna Younger, Sitting Bull Falls was created over thousands of years.
"Water comes from the spring that originates three-quarters of a mile in the canyon above the falls," Younger said. That water comes from the ground.
Located behind the falls is the Sitting Bull Falls Cave. Hidden by the rushing flow of the waterfall, the cave is surrounded by tufa rock. The cave features flowstone, draperies, stalactites, stalagmites, travertine dams and areas of water.
Stone-built picnic areas and accessible cooking grills afford venues for barbecuing in the falls' recreation area. Hiking trails can be enjoyed, and the falls can be observed from a viewing deck that is handicap-accessible. Visitors can swim in the pools of water.
The cave behind the falls can be explored by appointment. A park ranger must be present at all times, and a permit is required.
Hours of operation, fees
Sitting Bull Falls requires a $5 use fee except on Wednesdays. Sitting Bull Falls is usually open year round. Summer hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. until Sept. 1. The entrance gate closes 30 minutes before closing time. Overnight camping is not allowed in any part of the falls.
How to get there
From Portales, take U.S. 70 west toward Roswell. Merge onto U.S. 285. Continue straight taking a slight left onto southeast Main Street, which turns into U.S. 285 south. Turn right onto N.M. 137, then turn right onto Sitting Bull Falls County Road 409. End at Sitting Bull Falls.

I attended East High School in Phoenix which was new then and has since been torn down. I am envious of people who can actually go to homecoming and visit their school at the time of reunions.
My husband was way off to the side taking this but he did pretty good. I'm sitting on the right with the white patterened shirt.
What memories do you have of your high school or one of your reunions?

Ok, I only have vague details of one scene, I think if you've seen it you'll know it, but I can't fucking remember the movie. the small details I have dont bring anything up googling.
The movie in my recollection is a action/comedy type.
Someone is buying a gun, the key to the scene (the guy you'd remember) is a 14-16 year old black kid selling the pieces. He knows everything about his guns, and is rattling off the specs and description of the models he has available at about 90 miles an hour.
I know that sounds like nothing but if you've seen it you'd remember.
I THINK its a movie of the pulp fiction/lock stock/ Snatch ilk.... but I'm not positive. Maybe 10 years old max.
Hopefully someone knows, it driving me nuts trying to remember the movie title.

if items have not been claimed, they will be communalised, free shopped or thrown out. there will be space for workshop items such as Forest Publishing, Dorkbot, etc. we will try and work out what should be kept, but if you're concerned something might get shifted, please communicate with myself, or come in and move it to a sensible location in the room and then tell me about it.
questionable and other items
* the old toaster. is it fixable-broken or broken-broken? if the former, is anyone doing anything about it? if the latter, why was it deposited in the action room?
* the photocopier toner boxes. are we required to keep these to send them back in or not? if we are, it seems there are way more in the Action Room than needed for that.
* the old printer - nix has said he will move this to his space at some point soon.
* the fabric under where the mirror was. this has been here for a few months now. any idea of who it belongs to?
* the slide projectors - related to chris?
* misc Forest Fringe items - is anyone going to come for these? or are they ours now?
* data projector - chris noted it was broken but that it was fixable? anyone know about this?
* the boxes of newspapers and magazines - i'm assuming these are forest publication resources - are they still required? would be handy for arts, although do we need all of them?
* the lightbox - is this actively used?
* the TVs - the COME collectives? there were many more unil we poked them into action a couple of weeks after they said they'd move them, but there are still a number lying around.
* the shallow green box with tins of food, etc, in it
* et al

Cole Harbour Place
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Michael John Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to and acknowledge the efforts of Mr. Michael LaGarde for his vision and leadership in directing Cole Harbour Place in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, a premier and award winning facility that focuses on lifestyle and preventative medicine as a means of enhancing wellness within the Cole Harbour-Westphal communities.
Cole Harbour Place has become a focal point for physical activity, a wellness centre and community gatherings, and has been used as a template by other communities across the country.
Mr. LaGarde was the original general manager. He recently retired from Cole Harbour Place. It is people like Michael LaGarde who build communities. I wish him well as he enters his retirement and I congratulate him on his commitment and service to Cole Harbour Place.
Cole Harbour Place will continue to lead the way in the promotion of health and wellness. Mike's leadership will be felt by all who follow in his path.

Jay Hill Prince George—Peace River, BC
Mr. Speaker, farmers in my riding of Prince George—Peace River received a rare piece of good news late last year when it was announced that the Peace Country Tender Beef co-op was to open a new slaughterhouse in Dawson Creek, B.C.
It was a great example of farmers pulling together to help themselves. One could imagine the disappointment felt by producers when the slated opening date for the new slaughterhouse came and went due to difficulties in securing the necessary financing.
The loan loss reserve program announced with great fanfare by the government is so riddled with bureaucratic red tape and inadequacies that it has completely failed to help increase slaughter capacity in Canada. It is another program like CAIS, designed by bureaucrats for bureaucrats. It does little or nothing to help farmers during their time of crisis.
Yet again, the federal government's neglect and mismanagement of agriculture in this country has sent the message to farmers that they are left to solely struggle on their own. I continue to call upon the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food to persuade the Prime Minister that now is the time for action, not more broken promises.
Lansdowne Children's Centre

Lloyd St. Amand Brant, ON
Mr. Speaker, I want to pay tribute to the Lansdowne Children's Centre, a not for profit social services agency located in my riding of Brant.
The Lansdowne Children's Centre offers family centred services built on partnerships between families and professionals, services such as assessment, treatment and support to children with special needs, and to their families.
I will have the pleasure of taking part in the all star 2005 celebrations this weekend.
The proceeds will support Every Kid Counts, yet another program which greatly assists children with special needs. As my dad often said, a child's job is to play.
L'information régionale
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Denise Poirier-Rivard Châteauguay—Saint-Constant, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to draw the attention of the House to the award of excellence bestowed on L'information régionale , a weekly newspaper in my riding.
At the recent annual convention of the association Les hebdos du Québec held in La Malbaie, L'information régionale won second prize as the 2004 best weekly in the "28 pages or less" category.
Through this award, the newspaper has once again been recognized as one of the best weeklies in Quebec. L'information régionale also won four second place prizes in the following categories: front page, quality of French, writing and visual content. Our newspaper received no fewer than five awards during this gala.
I congratulate the team behind L'information régionale : Michel Thibault, Sylvain Daignault, Nathalie Simon, Dan Rosenburg, Carole Gagné, Andrew Clark and editor, Jeanne-d'Arc Germain. I thank the team for the quality of journalism it provides.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
John Maloney Welland, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise in the House to commend Mothers Against Drunk Driving for its proactive approach in meeting with community members of the Niagara region to organize a Niagara branch. This initiative exhibits its sincere dedication to the safety and security of others.
MADD is an excellent educational and victims outreach resource organization. Whether this group is talking with students and adults about impaired driving legislation, helping victims' families through the court system or lobbying legislators, its members make an impact.
Regrettably, Niagara is above the national average for impaired motor vehicle collisions, a startling and upsetting statistic that must be changed. I strongly encourage citizens of the Niagara region to attend the June 21 meeting with Mothers Against Drunk Driving and to get involved in a noble, necessary cause.
I wish MADD and the Niagara residents the best of luck in their joint efforts. Education is the key to prevention. Working for the safety of others is always a praiseworthy deed and eradicating impaired driving is a goal for all.

Dick Harris Cariboo—Prince George, BC
Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government is determined to ram through Bill C-38, the legislation that threatens the traditional definition of marriage.
The Liberals have used threats, coercion and intimidation as tools to get the same sex marriage bill into law before the summer recess. They have threatened religious leaders and the tax status of their churches. They have disallowed any member of the cabinet a free vote and threaten punishment if they disobey. They have threatened marriage commissioners with the loss of their jobs if they refuse to marry same sex couples. The Liberals want to ram Bill C-38 through before an election because they know the vast majority of Canadians do not support it.
If they succeed, I promise them that the people of Canada will never forget what they have done in their attempt to destroy the traditional definition of marriage and the voters will send a clear message of their anger to every Liberal candidate who supports same sex marriage.
There will be a price to pay for the Liberals' obsession with Bill C-38 and they may rest assured that the price will be paid at the polls.
Harold Cardinal
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Dominic LeBlanc Beauséjour, NB
Mr. Speaker, it is with deep sorrow that I rise to recognize Harold Cardinal, a renowned first nations leader and a hero to his people, who passed away early this morning.
Harold was a law school classmate of mine and he was also a friend. He was also a dear friend and adviser to the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development.
Dr. Cardinal may be best known for his landmark books on first nations issues. He wrote The Unjust Society, the Rebirth of Canada's Indians , a book that brought attention and change to policies that would have eroded the integrity of aboriginal life.
Harold studied law at prestigious universities like Harvard and was president of the Indian Association of Alberta, chief of the Sucker Creek Band, vice-chief of the Assembly of First Nations and a Treaty 8 negotiator. Most recently he was working on his doctorate in law from the University of British Columbia. In 1999 he received an honorary doctor of laws degree from the University of Alberta and was called to the bar of Alberta last year.
I ask all members to join me in offering condolences to Harold's family and his countless friends. He will be greatly missed by all Canadians.

Bill Siksay Burnaby—Douglas, BC
Mr. Speaker, earlier this week the B.C. federal NDP caucus made a statement on the beating and humiliation in Richmond, B.C. of an Indo-Canadian youth.
This young man reported that he was assaulted, had his turban knocked off and his hair shorn. We deplore in the strongest possible terms this shocking attack. We are deeply concerned about the apparent racist nature of the attack. Our sympathy and thoughts are with the victim and his family.
The Indo-Canadian community has contributed much to our region and our country through its hard work and generosity and the richness of its faiths, languages, and culture. When someone from the Sikh community is attacked, we stand in solidarity with the victim and the community.
The Richmond RCMP has vowed to track down the people responsible and we support its call for any information from the public that will help bring the perpetrators to justice.
We call upon everyone in the lower mainland and indeed all Canadians of every origin and faith to work together to achieve a society where racist attacks no longer occur.
Banting Memorial High School

Helena Guergis Simcoe—Grey, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, in Alliston, Ontario, over 1,000 students from Banting Memorial High School marched for diabetes. Their march began at the high school and finished at the Sir Frederick Banting homestead.
Last year, the high school students raised in excess of $16,000. This year their principal, John Fallis, challenged them to raise $20,000. Well, the Banting Memorial High School students won their challenge and raised an incredible $31,168.
The proceeds from the walk will go to both Camp Huronda, a diabetes camp for kids, and toward finding a cure for diabetes.
I must say that I am very proud of our local youth. Their commitment and dedication to such a worthy cause sets a precedent for others to follow.
In addition to the funds raised by the students, the former principal of Banting Memorial High School, Gordon Wright, contributed $5,000, and Kit Andrews, a local businessman, donated $500. This brought the total amount raised to over $36,000.
This is just another example of the large impact that small communities have in our country.

Odina Desrochers Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, last week there was a spectacular concert at l'Odyssée primary school in the Saint Nicolas sector of Lévis. Its 416 pupils treated their audience to renditions of a number of compositions by artists known for raising public awareness of environmental questions and of the need for children's rights to be respected in the world.
The performers, the kindergarten and primary students and staff members, interpreted songs by Annie Brocoli, Gilles Vigneault, Yves Duteil and Luc Plamondon, and even by Bruno Lemay, the school cook, who shares their concern for the environment.
The theme of the evening, expertly organized by teachers Alice Desrochers and Josée d'Anjou, was "Sing for a better world".
Numerous other volunteers, musicians and technicians have contributed their efforts to help these young people put their message of hope out on CD.
Congratulations to this new generation for their contribution to making our world a better place.
Canadian Forces Day

Gordon O'Connor Carleton—Lanark, ON
Mr. Speaker, as a former soldier and the official opposition critic for national defence, I am pleased to rise in the House today to commemorate Canadian Forces Day.
Serving one's country in the military is both the highest honour and the most profound duty. It demonstrates an individual's willingness to assume the most demanding and dangerous obligations of citizenship and creates a debt of gratitude owed by the society they fight to protect.
One day of tribute seems hardly enough to reflect and pay respect to the work done on behalf of Canadians by our military in Canada and abroad. I encourage my constituents and all Canadians to take time to recognize the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform every day.
I would like to personally thank all members of the Canadian Forces for their exemplary service.

Scott Simms Bonavista—Exploits, NL
Mr. Speaker, yesterday senior Conservatives tossed about allegations based on bogus tapes that were released by a member of the party under a cloud of suspicion. They said that the tapes were "pristine" despite the fact that several experts had already questioned their authenticity.
Let me tell the House about those tapes. Several independent experts, including John Dooher, a forensic audio engineer hired by CBC News, have confirmed that the tapes have been tampered with.
After question period they admitted that, "I haven't heard the tapes. I haven't seen the tapes". See no evil, hear no evil.
Why did members opposite not call for the authentication of the tapes before passing judgment? Instead, after making allegations, we get this statement from the Conservatives:
"It is not up to me to determine the authenticity of the tape." Here we have one more Conservative rushing to give an opinion on evidence that is, in fact, not evidence at all. Does this remind you of anything?
Employment Insurance
Statements By Members

Yves Lessard Chambly—Borduas, QC
Mr. Speaker, from one end of highway 138 to the other, people were out on May 7 and 8 to express their displeasure with the federal government's handling of the employment insurance program.
In Montérégie, the people of Huntingdon blocked highway 138, to make their demands clear, one of which was reinstatement of POWA, the program for older worker adjustment.
More than 800 workers there have recently lost their jobs, and a quarter of these are 55 years of age or older.
In La Malbaie, another 150 demonstrators blocked their section of the highway to protest the status quo in EI. They were angered by the lies told by the Liberals during the last election campaign.
The unemployed have had enough of false promises. The Bloc Québécois supports them and calls upon the government to reinstate POWA and to remedy the shortcomings in the EI program so that it provides the unemployed with proper assistance.
Office of the Prime Minister
Oral Question Period

Peter MacKay Central Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, there is a pattern in the Prime Minister's parliamentarian purchase plan. First, develop plausible deniability by trying to insulate the directions of the Prime Minister. Second, when caught on tape, deny, deflect and divert attention to some tampered tape excuse.
