Disney to shutter online movie store, website
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Walt Disney Co. is shutting down its Web movie service, Disney Movies Online, saying the site wasn't keeping up with user demands.
In an email to users, the company said the site would be closed as of Dec. 31.
The site allowed visitors to buy and rent movies from the Disney library, including films made by its subsidiary Pixar. It also allowed people who purchased physical discs to stream the movies from the website.
However, the site did not attract many customers and had limited capabilities. Users couldn't download their digital movies for offline playback, there was no support for connected devices like game consoles, and it only offered movies for streaming on Web browsers.
Disney did not say when a replacement service would be launched.

Engagement rings are jewelry that will last a lifetime, crafted with the intention of representing unconditional and eternal love. Finding the right one for any prospective fiancé can be intimidating and even frightening, but with a history as strong as Antwerp's regarding diamond engagement rings, shoppers need not look further than our selection.
Here at Di Amore, we cherish the art of cutting diamonds and designing jewelry. We are located in one of the world's leading diamond districts, and we want everyone who wears our creations to feel the immense passion and thought that goes into each piece.
What to Look for in an Engagement Ring
Our engagement rings exemplify what makes up an ideal jewel piece and our expertise in diamond crafting.
Whenever seeking the perfect diamond, consider analyzing each one using the four 'C's:
- Color
- Clarity
- Carat
- Cut
These are the features to consider when pondering both the quality and price of a diamond, and we guarantee these details in our own diamonds. With us, you don't have to worry about finding the best engagement ring: just which choice speaks to you most.
While we have a broad range of diamonds, we also have a variety of correlating bands as well.
Our Signature Diamond Engagement Rings
The diamond engagement rings we provide are incomparable due to the high level quality we maintain. You'll always notice two of the four 'C's are color and clarity, in our diamonds.
The dispositions of white diamonds are usually most desirable because they are the clearest and will dazzle anyone lucky to slip one of these rings on their finger. We provide diamonds that are:
- 18-carat white
- Yellow
- Platinum
- Rose gold
And even then, we have opaque levels such as:
- Colorless
- Near colorless
- Faint
- Very light
- Light
Depending upon how UV rays interact with each color, the diamond will produce a certain fluorescence that has a great impact on both its appearance and its price value. This will greatly impact which diamond you take home.
Buy a Diamond Engagement Ring with a Beautiful Cut
Additionally, the diamonds used in our engagement rings come in a variety of shapes for the beholder, such as:
- Princess cut
- Round brilliant cut
- Cushion cut
- Oval cut
- Pear cut
- Emerald cut
- Heart cut
- Asscher cut
- Radiant cut
- Marquise cut
All of these are displayed on our website for a better visual portrayal.

Archpastoral Visit to Boston, MA!
By Jane Yavarow
On Sunday, December 1, 2013, the Parish of Saint Andrew the First Called Apostle Ukrainian Orthodox Church welcomed His Eminence Metropolitan Antony and His Grace Bishop Daniel to Boston. They were invited by the parish to celebrate our Patron Saint's Day and to bless the renovated and restored interior of our 60-year-old edifice. Our Hierarchs were presented with flowers by the children of the parish and greeted with the traditional bread and salt by the president of the parish board of administration, Jane Yavarow. Very Reverend Roman Tarnavsky, pastor of the parish family, offered the hierarchs the cross. Thus began a many faceted morning. The blessing service took place first. The Hierarchs walked throughout the church sprinkling holy water on the newly painted walls. Bishop Daniel took great pleasure in dousing choir members as they sang, "Oh, Lord, Save Thy People".
Next, 17 year old Sviatoslav Kotyk, was ordained a sub-deacon. Originally from Ukraine, Sviat is an altar server and reads the Sunday epistle regularly in both English and Ukrainian. Metropolitan Antony reminded him of the importance of the reader who must prepare weekly to fully understand what he is reading and to impart it with conviction.
After these services, the bilingual Hierarchical Divine Liturgy began. Serving with our Hierarchs and Fr. Roman were Fr. Roman and Fr. Anthony Perkins from Woonsocket, RI and Hierodeacon Vasyl from Boston. Seminarian Adrian Mazur joined them from St. Sophia's Seminary. Metropolitan Antony offered an insightful sermon revolving around the word restoration, not only in the physical sense, but also most importantly, in the spiritual sense. Bishop Daniel offered an especially meaningful prayer for Ukraine in light of the turmoil she has endured in the past and is being confronted with today.
Before the dismissal, a "Testament of Blessing" was bestowed on four of the faithful parishioners of the church: Valentina Dingle and Vera Geba, co-presidents of St. Olha's Sisterhood, Eugene Moroz, choir director and Jane Yavarow choir director and parish president. This was a surprise and great honor to all who received this blessing.
At the conclusion of the Liturgy, Metropolitan Antony called all of the faithful to the front of the church for a group picture.
While the Liturgy was going on upstairs, a delicious banquet of lobster bisque and baked sole was being prepared by Chef Michael Maggiani, and parishioners Len Kondratiuk, Mark Walling, George Wons, and Dan Smith. Over 130 guests were in attendance in the hall beautifully decorated by Tanya Tereshko-Little. Between the first two courses, mistress of ceremonies, Iryna Warvariv-Priester, directed the audience to the stage to view a welcoming dance by the Ukrainian dance ensemble ISKRA from NJ under the direction of Andrij Cybyk. They performed a number of other dances during the afternoon ending with a lively and crowd rousing hopak. The crowd was also entertained by local talent Sophia Raniuk who performed a piano medley of Ukrainian songs. She then accompanied bass singer Eugene Moroz as he preformed two Ukrainian folk songs.
Jane Yavarow, parish president, welcomed all in attendance and thanked those who contributed to the Restoration Fund. She acknowledged Fr. Roman Tarnavsky and Iryna Warvariv-Priester with whom she worked to fulfill the goals of the Church Restoration Committee. Valentina Dingle, Vera Geba and Pearl Smith were thanked for their contributions as well.
The day was rounded out with a birthday celebration to honor Joseph Charyna on his 100th birthday. Metropolitan Antony presented him with a "Testament of Blessing", and birthday wishes from President Barack Obama and Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. Joseph joins Mary Wons and Mary Schlitz who, in June, both turned 100 years old. Our parish is blessed to have three parishioners in the "Century Club".
St. Andrew's Day 2013 was a memorable and joyous occasion for all who worshipped together, broke bread together and shared in the very special fellowship found at our parish.

Prolific South Australian Mike Corren notched up yet another PSA title with a hard-fought victory in the final of the Doubledot Media Christchurch Boys School Open in New Zealand.
Top seed Corren prevailed in a hard-fought encounter against second seeded Kiwi Evan Williams that went the full distance.
PSA $5k Doubledot Media Christchurch Boys High School Open, Final:[1] Mike Corren (Aus) bt [2] Evan Williams (Nzl) 8/11, 11/6, 11/7, 3/11, 12/10 (82m)
Williams got off to a flying start being up 7/1 in the first game before Corren fought back to square it 7/7 but Williams steadied to win first game. The next two games went to Corren with Williams making a few errors on the crucial points. Williams then fought back strongly and took a commanding lead of 6/2 in the fourthth, Corren wasn't able to close the gap and Williams took that game quite easily 11/3 to take it to a final game decider.
The fifth was a battle all the way with a number of long rallies and let calls. Corren had match ball at 10-9 but a no let tied the game right up at 10-10. Corren managed to take the victory with the next two points, a stroke call ending the match at 12/10.
The victory marks 38-year-old Corren's 43rd PSA title in 61 final appearances (out of 112 events played!), and his sixth success in 2012.

Marvin Friedman: "Jews to the rescue"
Marvin Friedman wrote me many entertaining emails with many amusing subject lines. The title of this post is from one of Marvin's emails - just one example of the many occasions when Marvin rescued me - from a dull day or a depressing mood.
In that particular message he succinctly described for my benefit a capsule history of American illustration (according to Marvin Friedman):
"The history of American illustration: Howard Pyle, Norman Rockwell, Al Parker and Robert Weaver."
"Murray Tinkelman probably won't agree."
On another occasion:
Subject line: "There were no great Jewish illustrators. Why?" Followed by...
"I've just spent an hour writing you a long email about your Sat. Eve. Post blog which was really great. As is my wont, I write very quickly with a million mistakes which I then go back and correct. To save an email on this webtv, I have to send it to myself, which I have just discovered doesn't allow me back into the text to make corrections. I think you'll be able to make sense of it... if not, lemmee know. You are doing a great thing with all this information.
As Jimmy Cagney says in Yankee Doodle Dandy, "My father thanks you, my mother thanks you, my sister thanks you and Amos Sewell thanks you."
I waited in great anticipation for that next message, but instead Marvin sent this a while later:
"Schwartz, now I can't send the godamn email to you. It won't go. I'll have to wait for my 9-year-old computer genius to try again. If not, I'll have to write it again."
I never did get that long email from Marvin - and sadly I never will. Marvin Friedman passed away on the morning of May 12th. He was 81 years old.
Last year I sent Marvin an email mistakenly wishing him a happy 85th birthday! His reply:
"Leif, thanks for the happy birthday greetings, but jesus, I'm not 85. I'll be 81 in September, which is hairy enough as it is. My body is falling apart, but my mind still works. I don't understand any of this, and I'm not asking too many questions. The worst part of it all is that I can no longer paint or draw."
The first time I spoke with Marvin was about five years ago when he was seventy-six. At that time he said, "You know this Parkinson's business is a sonofabitch, but we're hanging in, doing the best we can. I started drawing again, which is great as far as I'm concerned, because for ten years I didn't do anything."
When I asked him how he was managing that he said, "Well my stuff was always shaky... my line was always shaky... and I can draw if I hold my right wrist with my left hand - for stability."
"The clinging to life," he continued, "is a very positive thing. I make jokes about it but... I just want to see what's going to happen in the next five years... with politics, with technology..."
"... all these things are going to be around that we can't even imagine right now."
Bryn Havord, who has guest-authored several series for Today's Inspiration wrote to me in the days after Marvin passed away:
"I first met Marvin in New York City in 1964," wrote Bryn. "He was a huge man with huge feet (Brian Sanders said his shoes were so big he could have sailed the Atlantic in them), a huge personality and a huge talent. I have so many great memories of him. Marvin invited me to his house to meet his family. His wife Sonny had put on a terrific spread, and they had invited loads of their friend and neighbours, so that I could get to meet a good cross section of Americans. It was a fabulous night which I will never forget."
Marvin came to London on a job for Boys' Life magazine a year later in 1966."
"In 1969, I was living on a Thames Sailing Barge in Manningtree in Essex when Marvin and his family came for lunch. He was on another job for Boys' Life, and had asked me to organise a cricket match for him to photograph for reference."
Bryn continued, "Marvin used to write me great e-mails, and the subject Line was always "NEWS AND VIEWS FROM NEW JERSEY JEWS". Here's a paragraph from October 2009:"
"The last great client I had was Gourmet magazine....an assignment from God! For 8 years I painted three luxurious New York restaurants a month. That's a lot of restaurants, but I loved it. Sonny and I were treated like royalty and ate things I never heard of that sell for $75, $100, $150 dollars. Every illustrator in New York was jealous, and offered to carry my camera bag, and I made some great pictures too, much different from those Boys' Life pictures... much lighter and fresher. I loved it."
Rob Stolzer shared the following on Facebook last week:
"I first met Marvin when he was taking down an exhibition of his Gourmet magazine illustrations from a cafe in downtown Philadelphia in the late 1980s."
"I was already familiar with his work, and went to strike up a conversation with him. Marvin wasn't so interested in talking, but before he left the cafe, came over to me to apologize. The illustration business was a pretty bastardly one, and he was pretty soured on things at that point."
"He invited me over to his studio, and while I didn't take him up on his invitation immediately, we kept in touch. I later purchased the original illustration seen below, at an exhibition of his work at the Jewish community center in Princeton, NJ."
"I mentioned it to Marvin, and soon arranged the first of many visits to his and Sonny's home in NJ. Marvin's studio is behind the house, and we spent a good amount of time looking at his wonderful works."
"I'm sorry that more folks didn't get know him, and weren't more familiar with his work. His illustrations come out of a school of illustration that captured the immediacy of the moment, whether in drawing or painting. The work from the last number of years of his life were largely autobiographical, though he also delved into the life of others."
Marvin once sent me an email that said, "Every illustrator I talk to, once big or once medium, complains that nobody remembers them or knows they're alive... including me. When you reach the bottom of the barrel, why not do something on me besides Boys' Life? I've done a lot of work in the last 60 years besides Boys' Life."
He signed that note "Austin Sickles"
I'm sorry I didn't get around to it until now when it's too late for Marvin to enjoy seeing these images again - and reading your reaction to his work. But for the benefit of the rest of us, here are a few things Marvin did for one of his favourite clients - Tony LaSala, the A.D. at Cosmopolitan magazine. Not the bottom of the barrel by any means, but the work of a terrific illustrator and a wonderful guy who came to the rescue with news and views from New Jersey Jews.
* Many thanks to Bryn Havord, Rob Stolzer and Matt Dicke for their assistance with this post. Marvin Friedman's 1976 'Portrait of Uncle Benny' in the middle of this post was found at hadassahmagazine.org

Classic! Thankyou for sharing the late, great Marvin Friedman's work. I really enjoyed your post.ReplyDelete
Sad news. What a great illustrator!ReplyDelete
I have liked Marvin Friedman's workReplyDelete
since I saw his drawings in a yellow paged section in Good Housekeeping
50 yrs ago. He seemed to be between Briggs and weaver in style. He had a
very good painting style too.
A wonderful talent.
Leif: A terrific tribute to the late Marvin Friedman. Thank you so much for including some of my reminiscences, it means a lot to me. Marvin asked me to entertain his daughter Marcy on her first visit to London in the mid-seventies. I took her to dinner at Rules, London's famous and oldest restaurant. A memorable evening: later I received the followingReplyDelete
"i told you to stay away from my daughter,. you godamn british pedophile,

And it's going to be 93 degrees tomorrow.
Come ON.
Trying to be positive, so I'm thinking of things that might be GOOD about a warm Halloween:
1. Fog Chillers will make awesome ground-hugging fog.
2. That's about it.
Thursday, September 23, 2010
And it's going to be 93 degrees tomorrow.

I'm feeling your pain! I live in Houston, so I frequently get early Autumns where it is in the 90's! Heck, it isn't unprecedented for folks to be in shorts around Thanksgiving!!!!
Many a Halloween I've suffered in my mask & costume, dripping sweat in the Texas heat. Ugh! Summer should take the heat WITH it!

It's weird because it's usually way hotter during this time of year over here in SoCal. This summer ended up being really foggy and sort of humid, so we all dreaded the autumn to come which we thought would be sweltering hot (like it always is) but it has been actually really chilly. At least there probably won't be any wild fires.

Here's a question: What's worse: a hot, humid Halloween or one that is so chilly, and often times snowy, that costumes need to fit over complete winter suits? I live in the Rocky Mountain region and many a Halloween costumes have been ruined by having to "bulk up" to stay warm. The cold also does not make for a good candy haul as most kids and parents are too cold to venture out far and people handing out the candy close up early or don't even open the door. Sigh.

Great question.
One year it was humid and hot...and mosquitoes were actually floating about landing on me all night long.
I'm guessing heat would be the lesser of the two evils. At least a person can endure prolonged heat. Frigid cold and wind is awful for a haunt, the haunter, and the trick-or-treater.

Yuck, mosquitoes would very well ruin my Halloween too. Not to mention sweating through a costume.
As for living in the Rockies, sometimes we have absolutely perfect haunt weather, and then there are those times when everything gets snowed on and ruined. It's always a toss-up. As for the current weather, well we've been comfortable in the 60's, and no doubt all of you still living with the 90's would love to be here. However the 60's will not last another 5 weeks til Halloween, so wish me luck this year that the temps don't dip too much!
Also, the leaves are starting to fall, but won't be so fresh-looking or crunchy for Halloween. They will all be in the street curbs, brown and nasty.
Another random fact: I used to live in Utah and they (the Mormon-run state politics) would change Halloween to whenever it would placate their religious needs the most. Not only Halloween, but 4th of July as well. If it falls on a Sunday, as Halloween does this year, they will make it either Saturday or Monday. NO trick or treating on Sunday. Period. It was horrible, to say the least. Glad I don't live there anymore.

Hilarious! I actually didn't mind the heat here this summer(probably because it didn't go over 100 much). Boise seems to have had the perfect year for weather- a long cool wet spring, mild summer, and now the evening temps are perfect for a hoodie but no too cold to turn the heater on in the shop.

He now has a blog– while there is only one post, he will be posting ~weekly with updates to his GSoC project and other fun topics.

Hello. I'm new to editing Wikitravel. I added a new city, McHenry, Illinois, but now see that there's a empty link under the Chicagoland tab for there. I don't know how to move my page to there.Damelon (talk) 09:07, 27 June 2017 (EDT)
Business Listings: How Much is too Much?
Earlier today, a bus company that operates New Zealand's largest passenger transport network with daily services from Auckland to many towns and cities in the Waikato region made an account, and proceeded to add their listing to a WHOLE BUNCH of pages, which looked like spam from my end. Should we allow companies to add their listings to more than a certain number of pages? Yes? No? If we do, what could be the ramifications? What could potential questions, comments, and or snide remarks could arise? -- —The preceding comment was added by Tonikar (talk • contribs)
I'm torn on this one too. First, I love Alasdair's point that a business should take the time, if they are going to try this, to make EACH listing specifically relevant to that page. If they don't want to take the time to point out the relevancy of their business to that particular destination (and they ought to be encouraged by us to do so), they should not have the privilege of being listed here.
Second, I am at a loss to find something wrong with listing a business on multiple pages, if those pages do not contain any (or a very small number) similar options. In this case, if you are considering traveling to a small town in NZ that is only served by this bus company, we ought to provide details as to how to catch a bus into/out of there if we have them. What is the harm? Now, if this is, say, New York City, where there are interminable bus and other transportation options for getting in and out, I would say that allowing companies to list all of them would be disastrous for Wikitravel, and of limited to zero use for the traveler. And don't even get me started on chain restaurants!
So perhaps there is a middle ground? Where there are many existing options, disallow the listing; where there are none or very few, allow them; and when allowed, the listing must be customized to that destination. And when we see a company engaging in this behavior, we ought to make contact with them as soon as possible, guide them, and have them provide a proposed list of everywhere they are intending to add their listing, as well as the specifics of how they will customize their listing to the page, BEFORE they spam it out everywhere publicly. How's that sound? IBobi (talk) 19:29, 22 March 2017 (EDT)

Tours listing
how can i list my tours businessEastland adventures (talk) 10:37, 4 April 2017 (EDT)
Hello, thank you for your input. As you can see in our policies, in general we don´t allow walking tours in our articles, see activity listings. When we check the latest edits and we see something that would be against those policies, we would remove it. It is correct that it could happen that other listings were previously added and gone unnoticed, but in general we do try to have a look at the existing listings as well to see what has slipped through overtime. But this is up to everyone who contributes to Wikitravel. If you still feel your tour would add value and needs to be included, then it should be discussed on the talk page of the article itself, see what feedback you get from other users. I hope this helps! Looking forward to further edits from you. Adzas (talk) 11:10, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
Hi! I tried to post a message at the Romanian Travellers' pub. Apparently, that page is protected from any edit. I also tried to talk to user Vlad ([[::User talk:Vlad|talk]], [[::Special:Contributions/Vlad|contribs]]) who is an active administrator there. But it seems he had protected his own talk page from any edit. Is that normal to protect such pages and be unable to contact anyone there? Thank you, Wintereu (talk) 08:30, 9 April 2017 (EDT)
Hi IBAlex ([[::User talk:IBAlex|talk]], [[::Special:Contributions/IBAlex|contribs]]). I just tried to (re)fix the number of days and edits to be shown within the recent changes page at RO WT (from the Preferences --> Recent changes). It must be a soft problem, because I simply can't change the values there (the max days suggested there and 1000 edits to show by default). And that's only one from many issues I noticed here. Also, it seems I can't be connected on both the EN WT and RO WT at the same time... Thank you for replying and reading the discussion from my talk page. There isn't much more to say. Since the e-mail option doesn't seem to work either, if you (or any one else) feel like sending me any more message or comment, you'll find me on "copycats" projects under the very same user name. Happy Easter ;) Wintereu (talk) 13:34, 18 April 2017 (EDT)
Deletion and Login/Funky Stuff
Hey everyone! So lately there have been some issues with login-- Wikitravel has been logging people out frivolously, and deleted pages are still showing up in Recent Changes.

Hi, On my talkpage when I remove the "If you feel that I have reverted" box as well as try to archive the page I keep getting "This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your action was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: TS Page Title Block",
Removal question
Hi, If for instance a hotel is closed down do we remove the listing or do we put something like "this has since closed down" ?, Not sure if we preserve the history or not, Thanks, Davey2010 (talk) 22:49, 21 April 2017 (EDT)
I do believe that I have read "please remove the clutter.................." Wikitravel has more than 20 articles going back a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time!
When I write here, I remove the article afterwards after a "reasonable" time!
So will someone in authority please move this old stuff to where it belongs?
I would do it myself, but at 74 years of age, I do not know where to put it all.

Map based wikitravel
I wish to introduce a map based wikitravelish website impressionmap.org
I'm an avid reader and planned all trips based on info here. A big thanks first! However, articles are organized by meaningless place names (it's the only choice though), and it's not straightforward to figure out which place is where. Thus, planning bigger trips involves going back and forth between here and Google Maps, taking a long time.
It may be better to organize info by map itself and attach it to the map as snippets which will appear or disappear based on zoom level. More info and links can be added as popups. So I made the aforementioned website. You can zoom in to Amherst, MA or NYC (worse option as not much info is added) to see how it works. By the way, the website doesn't seem to work on IE and renders a bit ugly on browsers released before March 2017
Asking for advice and opinions! If you would, edit it as well!
Hopefully this is the right place to do such introduction. No bad intention, just wish to make travel info presentation more intuitive and trip planning easier Wkenmomo (talk) 14:16, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
Asian pages: cleanup or not?
Many articles related to south-central Asia have tables collecting country/regional symbols. See some examples here, here and here. Does Wikitravel really need it? Is it really important to know the regional flower/plant/animal/tree/etcetera of those regions? There are even flags but apparently some are fake We're a travel-related community, the info in those tables would look better in WP. I suggest to remove all of them. Any thoughts?

can't save preferences
I just tried to change the Internationalisation option in my preferences and change the wiki language to have the sidebar and some buttons shown in my mother language.

Reminder on enforcing external links policy
Hi all! I recently had to temp block a contributor for continuously adding 3rd party links to WT. This had been done over time, and had not been caught by previous patrollers. http://wikitravel.org/en/User:Travelgamma will be allowed to return in 3 days (this is a "get your attention" block that will continue over the weekend), but since their primary purpose seems to be to advertise their site, I have doubts that they will be back when not allowed to add their links any longer. You'll notice I made an effort to keep their non-link contributions to the site, while removing the links. IBobi (talk) 16:07, 8 September 2017 (EDT)

Leland Meitzler, a friend on mine for many years, has just put on the latest Canadian update of FamilySearch.org on his site www.genealogyblog.com.
I took a minute to check it out, and although it had many of the records already at www.FamilySearch.org, I was able to find a new record for Catherine Barclay Rockwell, born 02 March, 1876 at Cornwallis, Kings, Nova Scotia. Her father's name was given as Rupert Rockwell, and her mother's name was given as Isabell Barclay, the daughter of Andrew Barclay, of Shelburne, Nova Scotia - an ancestor of mine.
The source information was given as Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C53461-1, System Origin: Nova_Scotia-ODM, and the Source Film Number:1298810.
Not long after her birth, the whole family moved out to California, where they joined Isabell's sister, Annie Louisa Haley, at Newark, Almeda County.

Ronny Cox has his acting career right where he wants it: He'll listen to any offer, provided the film or TV shoot doesn't interfere with his first love: playing music.
Ronny Cox has his acting career right where he wants it: He'll listen to any offer, provided the film or TV shoot doesn't interfere with his first love: playing music.
Cox, who vaulted to fame as the guitar-playing suburbanite in the adventure movie "Deliverance" with Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight, was a musician before he was an actor, and he's never stopped playing and performing music.
Cox, now 73, has been on tour, and he was driving to Vermont for a house concert when we caught up with him by phone. If you want to get a jolt, consider the fact that next year marks the 40th anniversary of "Deliverance," which was based on James Dickey's classic Southern Gothic/adventure novel about four callow suburban guys seeking adventure by shooting the rapids on an isolated Deep South river. But all these years later, Cox is not reluctant to talk about his first film. In fact, he's already got 2012 dates lined up where he'll be reminiscing about making it.
"I've just completed a book on my memories of the making of 'Deliverance,'" said Cox. "We are editing it now, for release next year, and there are plenty of stories. Out of all the films I've done (125 film and TV movies by one count), more people want to talk to me about 'Deliverance' than anything else. There is a lot of stuff out there about the way the film was made, and most of it is false. So, my book will be a storytelling book about the way it really was, and believe me, I can remember it like it was yesterday."
The unforgettable musical moment of that movie is the impromptu jam between Cox and a hillbilly musician, which became a hit instrumental as "Duelling Banjos." Banjo virtuoso Eric Weissburg played the part mimed by the nameless hillbilly, but Cox was able to hold his own on guitar.
"Everybody likes to ask me to do that in concert, but I never do it," Cox said, laughing. "That's my one non-concession."
Cox called making the movie a "double-edged sword." It gained him fame, but many people think of him as an actor before musician.
"They think I couldn't possibly be a serious musician. Obviously, there have been some moonlighting actors who, frankly, were pretty bad musicians, so I have to live that image down. But it is really the easiest thing to turn around –– all you have to do is sit down and play, and people can figure out pretty quickly that you're a professional musician."
"Deliverance" was Cox' first film, and he got the role in large part because he could play a mean guitar. His second film was another watershed, Hal Ashby's "Bound for Glory," the biography of Woody Guthrie (played by David Carradine). Cox played a character named Ozark Bule, essentially Guthrie's best friend.
"Back then, there was about a 10-year stretch where Hal had the best film of the year, every year, and very many people –– me included –– feel he is the best director they ever worked with," Cox said.
Was there much off-camera jamming on that 1976 movie set, with Carradine and Cox and the many supporting musicians?
"Absolutely, we were jamming all the time, every chance we got," said Cox. "Remember that movie had an original score by Leonard Rosenman, based on Woody's music, and we had musicians on the soundtrack like Johnny Hartford, The Dillards, Byron Berline and so on. We sat around for days on end playing music to use in the movie. I worked a total of 10 months on that movie and loved every minute of it."
As the years went on and his acting career blossomed with roles in movies like "Total Recall," "Robocop" and "Beverly Hills Cop" and its sequel, Cox kept his music on the back burner. Gradually it began coming to the fore, despite lots of TV work on shows like "St. Elsewhere," "Stargate," "Cop Rock" and even "Desperate Housewives."
He finally made his recording debut with a self-titled album in 1993. In 2007, he released an album of tunes from country songwriter Mickey Newbury, "How I Love Them Old Songs."
Cox had known his wife, Mary, since he was 14. They were married for 46 years and had two sons. She died in 2006. Part of the way he's dealt with that loss has been to dedicate himself more fully to his music. Cox' sixth studio album –– he also has released two live albums –– was "Ronny Cox: Songs with Repercussions," released in 2009 and includes three original tunes along with his other favorites.
"Over the past 20 to 25 years, most of my success in acting has come in playing bad guys, authority figures, business guys in suits and ties," Cox noted. "Now, when people see me in a shirt with jeans and a guitar, it kind of messes with their minds. I've had a great career as an actor –– I'm not rich, but if I'm prudent, I'm probably pretty well set. Since I lost my wife 4 1/2 years ago, the most pleasure I get now is from making music."

Charges were filed Wednesday against a Cañon City Councilman and local artist accused of assaulting a couple in Cañon City.
Pueblo Deputy District Attorney Jennifer Zamarripa filed the charges against Councilman Colby Katchmar, 54, and Thomas Lockhart, 59.
Katchmar faces charges of third-degree assault against an at-risk adult, misdemeanor harassment and disorderly conduct as a petty offense.
Lockhart faces charges of second-degree assault against an at-risk adult and third-degree assault of an at-risk adult. Lockhart was reset for a hearing on formal filing of charges to next week, when his attorney can be present.
Zamarripa is acting as a special prosecutor in the case at the request of Fremont County District Attorney Thom LeDoux who said he knows Katchmar personally, and Katchmar was contributor to his election campaign.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Cañon City police officers were dispatched at 9 p.m. May 30 to Michael's on Main for an altercation.
Robert Martin, 70, and Margene Martin, 65, allege Katchmar had "bugged her all night" during the wine-tasting event. She alleged he called her and her husband foul names and attempted to block them from leaving the establishment. The report states the couple went around Katchmar, exited the building and later heard him yell an obscenity at them.
According to the affidavit, Lockhart told officers he saw Katchmar being attacked by the couple, and he stepped in to help. The Martins were treated and released at St. Thomas More Hospital. The affidavit said Margene suffered "serious bodily injuries," including a hip fracture and a welt under her eye.
Both men posted $30,000 bonds May 31.

Welcome to Boot Camp
Howard County's Stephanie Dignan on fitness and transformation
By Allison Eatough
The full article on Howard Magazine can also be found through this link.
When Stephanie Dignan left her job as a financial adviser to start her own fitness business, she had no idea she was about to change hundreds of lives.
Just four months earlier, the Glenelg High School and University of Maryland graduate began teaching boot camp classes at a local gym.
"I thought, 'Why not? I'll do it for fun,'" Dignan says.
But that fun quickly developed into a passion — one Dignan wanted to pursue full time. So in 2008, she launched her solo venture, The Boot Camp Girl LLC, with hopes of taking her boot camp skills and fitness ideas to clients across Howard County.
Now entering her fifth year, Dignan, 40, employs five instructors and teaches classes at four county locations. She has more than 100 clients at any given time, ranging from new mothers who want to shed some post-baby weight to marathon runners searching for new ways to stay fit. Many of Dignan's clients have experienced dramatic body changes, as the "before" and "after" photos on her website attest. More importantly, though, Dignan says her clients have altered their lifestyles to be healthier overall.
"It's not just about the weight loss change," Dignan says. "It's about people taking more responsibility for their health."
We recently asked Dignan about her business, how boot camp works and if people who are out-of-shape can really survive a class.
Q: When and how did your interest in fitness begin?
A: I've enjoyed fitness since I was a child. I've participated in gymnastics, swimming, diving and cheerleading.
Q: What exactly is boot camp?
A: There are different types of boot camp offered out there, but no two boot camps are the same. The Boot Camp Girl program combines a challenging workout with additional support and accountability outside of the workout. The Boot Camp Girl workout consists of cardiovascular conditioning (running or walking, plyometrics), strength training (weights, stability balls, medicine balls, resistance bands), stretching (yoga), and Pilates for a well-rounded workout. The workouts vary, so no two workouts are the same. That keeps everyone interested. … We (also) really emphasize making long-term healthier eating habits by encouraging food charting and goal setting so people can keep track and be responsible for their choices.
Q: How did you get your nickname, "The Boot Camp Girl?"
A: I have always been interested in teaching boot camp, and the name "The Boot Camp Girl" just fit!
Q: How do skills from your former job as a financial planner carry over into your fitness business?
A: There are a lot of transferable skills. As a financial adviser, you need to find your own clients and do your own consultation and marketing. It's like having a mini-business. It also required communication skills, helping the client with accountability and goal setting, which are also necessary in fitness. It's just a different product. And boot camp is more fun.
Q: How is your boot camp program different from that of a gym?
A: Boot camps at gyms are usually just a workout. There is no additional support that most people need. If you go to five one-hour boot camps per week, that's only five hours. There are another 163 hours that week that you're on your own! With Boot Camp Girl, I and the other instructors give that support outside of boot camp when people need it. … What's great is that we do modifications for beginners so they are able to complete the workout as well. Our group supports each other and has developed a camaraderie that makes the workouts even more fun.
Q: Describe your technique and some of the equipment you use during a class.
A: Every boot camp workout is different. Not only does each instructor design different workouts each time, but each instructor has their own style. The students get new workouts and new styles depending on their instructor that day. The equipment varies; sometimes we use no equipment, other times we may use hand weights, resistance bands, medicine balls, sandbags and stability balls.
Q: Can anyone take a boot camp class?
A: Boot camp is for all people, all shapes, sizes, ages and fitness levels. You don't need to get in shape first before you take the class. People have told me that the group is friendly and helpful and that they feel welcome on their first day.
Q: What is the biggest challenge in your job?
A: Hearing the word "job" is funny because much of the time I feel like I'm having fun with a hobby, not like a typical job. However there are a lot of responsibilities of running a business. My biggest challenge is getting people to adopt a new mindset, not just coming to the workout or losing weight. Many people in my boot camp have lost a significant amount of weight and made a lot of positive physical changes. However, having a new mindset can take a little longer.
Q: What is the biggest reward in your job?
A: By far, my biggest reward is seeing the positive impact that the program has had not only on people's health but in their life overall. Losing weight, getting toned, feeling better, better relationships, more confidence, more energy — the list goes on!
Q: Do you have any health or exercise tips for our readers?
A: Find a way to fit exercise into your day. A little can go a long way. It's better to do 15 minutes a day than two hours twice a week. This is why I created my nine-minute workouts that are on my website, thebootcampgirl.com. Everyone can find a way to fit nine minutes in their day. If it's done with a focus and students challenge themselves, a lot can be accomplished.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process where sperm and an egg are joined together outside of the body to create an embryo. The embryo can then be inserted into a mother's uterus.
Fallopian Tube, Ovary, and Uterus
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
IVF is done to help a woman become pregnant when there is difficulty becoming pregnant naturally.
It is most often done when infertility is due to:
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of not conceiving and carrying to term include:
Your doctor will likely do the following:
The male, if fertile, refrains from ejaculating for 2-3 days. He then collects semen through masturbation. Penile scar tissue or other conditions may block the natural release of sperm. If this is the case, a sperm aspiration from the testicles may be done. Sometimes, the man's sperm can be frozen ahead of time. If the male partner is unable to produce viable sperm, donor sperm may be used. If male sperm counts are low, the chance of successful fertilization may be improved by directly injecting the sperm into the egg. This is called intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
An ultrasound-guided technique is often used to harvest the eggs. The ultrasound probe has a needle attached to the end. The instruments are inserted into the vagina. The ultrasound uses sound waves to view the ovaries and the developed egg follicles in the ovaries. The needle punctures the egg follicles. The fluid and eggs are removed through the needle. The fluid is inspected. It is immediately placed in a clean, nutritive culture material. The fluid will be kept in an incubator.
Between 50,000 and 100,000 of the most mobile, healthy sperm are chosen. They are mixed with the harvested eggs. Sometimes, ICSI may be done. It may help to increase the chances of fertilization. The culture dish is kept at normal body temperature inside an incubator for 2-3 days. During that time, sperm are expected to fertilize 60%-80% of the eggs. Once fertilized, early cell division begins and embryos develop.
A certain number of the embryos (usually 1-5) are placed into the uterus 3-6 days after fertilization. Fewer embryos decrease the chance of multiples (such as twins, triplets). The other embryos may be frozen. They may be saved for future IVF cycles. You may also choose to donate them to other infertile couples.
A catheter tube is inserted into the vagina. It will be threaded through the cervical canal and into the uterus. The embryos are then passed into the uterus. You may be positioned face down with your knees at your chest. A special table that tilts the uterus downward may also be used. These positions allow gravity to help keep the embryos in the uterus for implantation.
The egg harvesting can be uncomfortable. Anesthesia is given to decrease the discomfort.
Following the procedures, expect to rest at the center for a few hours before going home.
You should be able to resume normal activities within a few days.
Follow-up care may be necessary:
It can be difficult to wait 2 weeks for the results. Even if pregnancy occurs, a miscarriage remains a possibility. If pregnancy did not occur, the next attempt should be at least 1 month later.
Call your doctor if any of the following occur:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

When Atlantis blasted off Friday, it carried two new voyagers into space: a pair of Apple iPhone 4s.
The iPhone already connects people worldwide via e-mail, Words With Friends, and Twitter. But the new SpaceLab app for iOS extends the iPhone's reach into a brand new world, or rather out of this world.
The app, developed by Odyssey Space Research, is en route to the International Space Station aboard the Atlantis. These first space-bound iPhones are destined for the ISS as part of Mission STS-135, the last flight of NASA's 30-year-long Space Shuttle program.
"The revolutionary iPhone 4 offers an extraordinary opportunity to demonstrate serious functions previously reserved for more expensive, purpose-built devices," says Odyssey CEO Brian Rishikof in a press release. "The potential for using iPhone 4 to both conduct and support in-space research and operations is enormous."
A team of two from Odyssey, a spacecraft engineering, analysis, and research company based in Houston, designed the app specifically for the iPhone 4's cutting-edge capabilities including the three-axis gyro, accelerometer, Retina display, cameras, and A4 processor.
This technology will be used to conduct four experiments:
- Limb tracker experiment will measure the distance and exact location of the iPhone in relation to the Earth's center.
- Sensor cal, which calibrates the three-axis gyro and accelerometer to make subsequent measurements more accurate.
- State acquisition, which calculates the longitude and latitude of the spacecraft multiple times to predict the spacecraft's path of orbit.
- Lifecycle Flight Instrumentation will monitor and categorize how radiation affects the iPhone.
The goal of the SpaceLab app is to gather as much data as possible now to aid in developing more advanced mobile applications in the future.
"We view this very much as the beginning," Rishikof says in a phone call with the Monitor. "We intend to explore more capable and more operational applications in the future."
Rishikof says he and developer Matt Benson worked aggressively to create the app and ensure the phone's durability since Apple released the iPhone 4s last June.
"Matt was committed like I've never seen anyone committed before," Rishikof says on the phone. Normally, a project such as this would have a two-year timeline between "getting it defined and getting it flown."
Why the iPhone and not the iPad? "There's no reason in principle why we couldn't have done the iPad," Rishikof says. Yet, the compact size of the iPhone gives the device less mass and volume, and therefore a smaller footprint when calculating measurements. "In the future, the iPad is definitely on our list," he says.
Curious about the new app? Earth-based users can download a home version for 99 cents from Apple's App Store. IPhone owners can conduct the same experiments as the orbiting astronauts, with certain features simulated to account for Earth's gravity.
Once the iPhones arrive at the space station, they will live in the NanoLab, a small research platform housed on the ISS, for several months.
"We did fly two phones," Rishikof says. "You never know what's going to happen, in case one malfunctions." Another benefit of sending two phones, he says, is the chance to execute twice the number of experiments, which creates double the data.
The iPhones are expected back on Earth in the fall, after hopping aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. The collected data will then be analyzed and shared via the SpaceLab iOS app.
"I'm really into space education," Rishikof says. "We need to engage people in the activities that are going on in the space program."

Stay tuned as Ed Schultz describes how the massive asteroid hurtling toward earth and threatening to end all life on the planet puts women and minorities at the greatest risk ...
Sure he's a loose cannon, but Ed Schultz is a predictable one at that. (Audio after page break)
It wasn't enough for him to trot out the standard leftist trope on his radio show Tuesday that voter ID laws are racist. Schultz had to gild the lily by further claiming that such laws "attack women," specifically poor women raising children (audio) --
Look, they have a whole program that is built around anti-fraud, OK? And it's minuscule, it is minuscule. And what they're doing is borderline racism. It really is. And all of these voter ID laws attack women! Uh, in, I mean, if you look at who it, uh, directly affects is low-income women raising kids, uh, their voice is going to be taken right away by all this voter suppression stuff. It's pretty damn scary. It's almost like the Republicans have got it down to social engineering. They must have a social engineering map, knowing every county on what they have to do and what they have to accomplish to make sure that they get the political power.
As to be expected, Schultz did not elaborate on why "low-income women raising kids" are threatened by the allegedly onerous requirement for a photo ID to vote, preferring instead to let the assertion speak for itself. Presumably Schultz believes it is just as discriminatory to require poor women to submit a photo ID when making a bank withdrawal, checking it at the airport, or buying Sudafed.
Schultz's claim reminds me of a comical scene in John Fund's revised edition of his book "Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy" (2008) in which Fund describes legal challenges to Indiana's voter ID law that were eventually decided by the Supreme Court.
The state Democratic Party in Indiana filed suit against the law, as did the NAACP, the Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis, and United Senior Action of Indiana. As was the case in an earlier federal lawsuit against a voter ID law in Georgia, Fund writes, "the Indiana lawyers were unable to find any individuals who could not meet the requirements of the photo ID law -- despite their claims that hundreds of thousands of Indiana voters did not have ID and would not be able to vote under the law."
In fact, one of the plaintiffs in the case, Fund writes, "was an employee of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles who also worked as a judge in the polls on Election Day on behalf of the Democratic Party. Although she had originally claimed she had no photo ID, this employee of the state agency that issues driver's licenses and nondriver's photo IDs had to admit at her deposition that she did in fact have a valid driver's license. When asked about the discrepancy, she said, 'I may have made a mistake there.' "
In contrast to a slew of narrowly split decisions by the Supreme Court in recent years, the high court voted 6-3 in 2008 to uphold the Indiana law. Since then, it has become a taboo subject on the left and in media coverage, though liberals show no such hesitancy in condemning the court's Citizens United ruling and gushing over its decision to uphold Obamacare.
In "Stealing Elections," Fund also describes the legal challenge to a voter ID law in Georgia, which initially passed in 1997 when Democrats ran the state legislature. It allowed for 17 different documents to be used to prove a voter's identity, such as driver's license, payroll check, or bank statement, or the voter could complete an affidavit swearing to his or her identity.
Even after this, an analysis conducted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and WSB-TV in 2000 "found that more than 5,412 votes had been cast in the names of deceased voters in Georgia, sometimes on multiple occasions, over the prior twenty years, and at least 15,000 dead voters were still registered to vote," Fund writes.
After Republicans gained control of the Georgia legislature in 2004 for the first time since Reconstruction, GOP state lawmakers amended the voter ID law by narrowing acceptable ID documents to six government-issued photo IDs and eliminating the affidavit exception.
Georgia is one of several Southern states which must clear any changes to its voting laws with the Justice Department to ensure the new laws are not discriminatory. The Justice Department signed off on the new law in 2005, followed by several liberal groups filing suit against the law, including the NAACP, Common Cause of Georgia, and the League of Women Voters of Georgia.
As would be the case in the Indiana challenge, the plaintiffs in Georgia proved equally hapless in proving their apocalyptic assertions. "Despite the claims of the plaintiffs' lawyers that there were hundreds of thousands of Georgia voters who did not have a photo ID and could not obtain one," Fund writes, "over the course of the next two years of litigation they were unable to produce a single voter who was disenfranchised by the Georgia law. "
Once again foreshadowing the legal challenge to the voter ID law in Indiana, the lawsuit in Georgia provided another comical moment at the plaintiffs' expense. The judge in the case, Harold Murphy (appointed by Jimmy Carter and considered among the most liberal judges in the state) "dismissed as 'far from reliable' the large numbers of registered voters who supposedly did not have an ID as reported by the former secretary of state, Cathy Cox, who had made it very clear that she opposed the voter ID law, and noted that he even mistakenly appeared on the list."
Just as one can be sure that the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling on the legality of Indiana's toughest-in-the-nation photo ID law will be stubbornly ignored by liberals in media, don't hold your breath waiting for Ed Schultz and friends at MSNBC to ask Jimmy Carter for his thoughts on voter ID. It took court intervention and a recount for Carter to be declared the winner of a Georgia state senate race in 1962 after a corrupt sheriff was found to have drawn votes from local cemeteries.
Several years ago, Carter co-chaired the Commission on Federal Election Reform, along with GOP elder statesman James Baker. Among their recommendations in 2005 -- "Photo IDs currently are needed to board a plane, enter federal buildings, and cash a check," the commission's final report stated. "Voting is equally important."
Which is why you never hear about this commission anymore.

The dollar perked up some in the aftermath of the bit firmer headline and core U.S. CPI data early in the session, though as equities turned solid gains into big losses, the greenback faded. USD-JPY touched 101.50 after failing to break 102.00 for the umpteenth time, while EUR-USD reclaimed the 1.3800 handle after finding support into 1.3790. Reported skirmishes (unconfirmed) in the Ukraine kept risk taking levels subdued, though stocks did manage to pare losses considerably in afternoon dealings.
EUR-USD peaked at 1.3826, after finding good support into 1.3790 through mid morning. Range trade mentality dominated through the session however, with intra day short covering stepping in at 1.3800. The 1.3790-1.3830 held through the afternoon, as the euro flat-lined near 1.3810 into the close.
USD-JPY made a feeble attempt to take out 102.00 after the U.S. CPI data, though quickly reverted back to the 101.80 region. Stops were later tripped at 101.65, resulting in a move to 101.50. Last week's 101.32 low will be the next key level to the downside.The pairing did find buyers into 101.50, reportedly Japanese backed, and has since rallied back toward 101.85 in concert with Wall Street's paring of its sharp earlier losses. Rumors that Japan may downgrade its economic outlook were heard, which may have helped the yen lower in afternoon trade as well. Depending how much more stocks can rally back, the 102.00 level may yet again come into focus into the close. Buy stops from 102.10 could be getting large.
Sterling quickly recovered from a post-data dive, with Cable making 1.6720 after a brief dive to 1.6660 into the N.Y. open. The new cycle low of 1.6% y/y in headline CPI hadn't been entirely expected. The pairing made its way toward 1.6750 in N.Y. trade, ahead of what is expected to be a good U.K. labor report.
EUR-CHF dipped to a one-month low of 1.2142 on Monday, even though SNB's Jordan said that Swiss inflation remains "very low," and that the franc cap would still be defended. The situation in the Ukraine remain a concern, and this is a supportive factor for the CHF.
USD-CAD traded to 1.1013 highs after the hotter U.S. CPI data, making six-session highs in the process. Slightly wider U.S./Canada yield differentials were likely a factor in the CAD's softening this morning, while stops at 1.1000 helped USD-CAD higher as well. The pairing did not spend much time over 1.1000 though, as it drifted into a 1.0975 base, before turning sideways for the duration of the session.

Baltimore Freedom Academy students speak up to keep school open
Charter school among those on chopping block
Baltimore City is just days away from canceling the contracts of a half-dozen privately-run schools.
Students in one of those schools have been among the district's most outspoken supporters.
That vote is set for Tuesday. The outcome would affect schools which operate with city funds and would include some charter schools, but students at the Baltimore Freedom Academy, a transformation school, said they'll put a fight to stay open.
Those students have lobbied in Annapolis in support of school funding for buildings and stood with the school CEO and the governor to try and help improve conditions for students.
"I came from an elementary school where I didn't even know what GPA was and when I got here, knowing that my GPA that's a 3.6, this school has changed me as a person. I was like anti-social. Now, I'm talking to everybody," student Asia Brown said.
"I have my support system here all the people that I need. Everybody that basically just pushed me to be more and want me to further my education is here, and I really don't want this school to end," student Diamond Watson said.
An advisory panel is recommending the district part ways with schools like the Baltimore Freedom Academy. The panel said it could do a better job on academic performance, climate and financial management, but parents said the study failed to recognize what's happening inside the building.
"We were put in a position of where (I said), 'What do I do with my baby for senior year when it's supposed to be one of the most exciting years for her and now we face the possibility of the school closing, being under different leadership?'" parent Rashawana Sidnor said.
Over the past 10 years, the school has become a middle-high school giving students across the city a chance to get in.
"This school has helped me out a lot. It's changed me. It's made my parents more proud of me," student Larry Johnson said. "It means that I can honestly walk up to my parents and let them know that their kid is actually doing something good with his life."
In the meantime, students and staff members said they'll keep putting pressure on school leaders to reconsider.
"We want to see our school continue. We want to see our school get five more years to renew because the voice that's coming from this building. It would be missed if we are no longer a school, a Baltimore City charter school," said Paulette Smith with Baltimore Freedom Academy.

Pasternak in Private
My Sister, Life and Other Poems
Pasternak, A Collection of Critical Essays
Boris Pasternak's Translations of Shakespeare
Pasternak's one-time brother in Futurism, Vladimir Mayakovsky, had projected a huge image of himself in his writing. His career was stormy, public, and short. When in 1930 he put a violent end to it, Pasternak wrote a farewell poem, "Death of a Poet," setting the strength and courage of the poet who "with one bound" had taken his place in the "category of young legends" against the hypocrisy and cowardice of those who were left. The feeling for Mayakovsky which he shows here and in his autobiographical writings is echoed, I think, in the figure of Pasha Antipov (later Strelnikov) in Doctor Zhivago. Antipov is the "antipode" for Pasternak, he is the lost child who makes a violent myth of himself, bringing pain and destruction, ending in baffled suicide. For him, as for Mayakovsky—and indeed for many of the young actors in the early revolutionary drama—Pasternak seems to feel admiration and love. Their headlong daring, like the skater's élan, was an inspiring sight, a public parallel to the verbal and emotional giving of self of the young poet of My Sister, Life.
But their way was not Pasternak's. At about the same time as "Death of a Poet" he wrote his first autobiography, Safe Conduct, also much preoccupied with Mayakovsky; here he explains how he had chosen a different path, abandoning what he calls the "romantic manner" and the spectacular conception of the "poet who sets himself up as a measure for life." This conception, he writes, is false because it demands a whole world of non-poets or philistines against whom the poet can stand out—as Mayakovsky had stood out with his yellow shirt and painted face in the prewar Futurist happenings. This led all too easily to the world of the ham actor, or the great public poetry reading in which the poet becomes for his audience a quasi-religious figure. In contrast to this, and perhaps increasingly in his later years as he felt himself condemned to being a public figure, Pasternak wanted the poet to efface himself. "To be famous is not a beautiful thing," he wrote. "Leave gaps in your life-story, not your writings." "It is shameful, being insignificant, to be a fable on everyone's lips."
This stress on ordinariness had implications too for his poetry; it meant speaking "the language of a provincial" aiming for the famous "unprecedented simplicity"which he praised in a poem of 1931.
