Daniel Morcombe's family will finally lay their son to rest, nine years to the day after he went missing.
Daniel's funeral will be held on Friday, December 7, the anniversary of his 2003 disappearance, his mother Denise said on Friday.
She said it would be a public ceremony and people would be invited to wear some red and donate to the Daniel Morcombe Foundation instead of giving flowers.
"It's to be a positive celebration of Daniel's life," Mrs Morcombe told AAP.
The funeral will be held at the St Catherine of Siena Church at Sippy Downs on the Sunshine Coast.
The plans follow the state coroner's sudden decision a day earlier to release Daniel's remains, which were found more than a year ago in bushland in the Glasshouse Mountains.
Earlier, the Morcombes said they were shocked but relieved at the decision.
"It means everything. We've been waiting nine years and we can put Daniel to rest now," Mrs Morcombe told reporters outside the committal hearing for Daniel's accused murderer, Brett Peter Cowan, 42.
The hearing at Brisbane Magistrates Court on Friday heard disturbing evidence about the afternoon Daniel vanished.
Two witnesses told of seeing a man in an older model blue sedan at the overpass where Daniel went missing.
Nambour resident Keith Lipke said he saw someone under a tarpaulin in the back seat of a blue car.
The sedan was being driven by a clean-shaven man with brown hair past his collar, Mr Lipke said.
"When I looked at the back seat, it had a tarpaulin over it and it appeared to me there were kids playing under it, jumping around," he told the court under cross-examination.
Mr Lipke saw the man turn to the back seat with an annoyed expression and say something.
"As he went past (I noticed) that the tarp was taut. It wasn't flying around any more."
He said he saw a flash of red under the tarpaulin, "like Santa Claus".
Daniel was wearing a red T-shirt on the day he disappeared.
A second witness said she saw a "clean-cut" man standing by the passenger door of an older blue sedan with NSW number plates.
Lily Obah told the court it looked like the man was pushing someone's head down in the front seat as she drove past.
Outside court Cowan's lawyers said they expected the judge to decide the crown had a case and commit their client to a trial.
But defence lawyer Tim Meehan said there was no direct evidence against the 42-year-old, who is charged with murder, child stealing, deprivation of liberty, indecent treatment of a child and interfering with a corpse.
Any trial would probably be a year off, Mr Meehan's colleague Michael Bosscher said.
Daniel was 13 when he disappeared while waiting for a bus on the Sunshine Coast in 2003.
The hearing continues on Monday.

Painting restoration
Schiele's 1912 painting 'Die tote Stadt' ('The Dead City') had been subjected to an extensive restoration before it arrived at the Kunsthaus in 1964. However the treatment, using a wax-resin compound and an additional layer of varnish, caused the canvas's characteristic surface structure to be lost. Close examination reveals significant muddying and darkening of the colours. The work is now to undergo an expert restoration to remove the later layers and, as far as possible, return it to its original condition.
Preliminary tests using a micro-aspiration device yielded highly promising results. This method allows the softened wax compound to be removed from the recesses in the rear structure of the canvas using controlled and targeted suction. Old, noticeable areas of retouching and flaws in the paint layer are to be structurally improved and recoloured.
But why was this early restoration actually deemed necessary?
One canvas – two paintings?
Beneath the painting is a second image which shows through in places. Having rejected the initial work, Egon Schiele painted over it out of financial necessity. In all likelihood, the accumulation of layers of paint caused the paint layer to loosen, leading to numerous instances of paint loss. This explains the earlier restoration of the work.
New findings will contribute to scholarship
The restoration is also of interest to Schiele scholars, as the painting will undergo X-ray analysis to reveal the rejected motif. This may be a work that features in lists of Schiele's paintings but can no longer be located.
The first Schiele in a museum
'Die Tote Stadt VI' ('The Dead City VI', 1912) is a significant example of the famous Expressionist's work for a number of reasons. It was the first of his canvases to be owned by a museum – the Folkwang Museum in Hagen, which acquired it in the year it was painted.
It also represents a high point in the series of views of Český Krumlov. Few places inspired Schiele as much as the Czech town, in which his mother was born and which was to become the most important subject for his landscapes. The painting shows the view looking down from the castle hill to the backs of the buildings on the square, dominated by the bare rear wall of the pharmacist's house. But Schiele does not entirely depict the scene as it actually appears: he also freely inserts abstract areas of colour. The blue strip to the left of the picture suggests the course of the Vltava river, while the black background stands in for further houses.

If you are reading this, you or someone you know may have been told they need to have a hysterectomy and also have their ovaries removed. This has been a controversial issue for many years, but until recently most doctors recommended removal of the ovaries after about age 45. The reason for this was that removal of the ovaries would prevent women from developing ovarian cancer. However, this recommendation ignored some of the obvious, and not so obvious, benefits of women keeping their ovaries. As we describe below, the ovaries continue to produce hormones for many years after menopause and these hormones have many health benefits, as well as benefits for improved mood, prevention of vaginal dryness, preservation of skin tone and elasticity.
Significantly, the ovaries produce hormones long after menopause. Estrogen continues to be produced in small amounts, about 25 percent of normal pre-menopausal levels. Testosterone is another hormone normally produced by the ovary and the ovary continues to make testosterone for about 30 years after menopause. Muscle, skin and fat cells change testosterone into estrogen, so the ovary continues to make estrogen this way for many, many years. This source of estrogen appears to be responsible for the lower risks of heart disease and osteoporosis that have been found in the studies of women who still have their ovaries.

Game Programming Books
Game programming is such a huge topic, so is a book for almost every kind of developer and every kind of game. Because iOS games are the hottest new thing since the internet was invented, it seems every month there's a new book being released all about iOS game development, and with Apple updating the iOS development SDK so often, there are even multiple editions of the same book available simultaneously.
For Mac developers, the number of recent game programming books can be counted on one hand. Although the Mac has exploded in popularity in recent years, the amount of game programming books written specifically for Mac OS X is slim. Despite this, don't be too afraid to buy a book that isn't written specifically for Mac OS X. For the most part, the structure of and the processes the game goes through are virtually the same no matter what platform it is written for, so it's still possible to learn from a book targeting Windows developers. As long as you have a familiarity with the programming language being used in the book and can understand the concepts, you can apply what you read to your own code on the Mac.

A son floats into adolescence on Idaho's "River of No Return."
By Andrew Ferguson
My son lives at the moment in the no-man's-land between nine years of age and ten–too big to be a little boy any longer, but too little to be big. This is not the way he sees it, of course. In his mind's eye he is a fully autonomous being, a strutting, self-confident stud. In his mind's eye he is held back in his galloping progress by the forces of decay and reaction. That would be me.
I had been looking for something that he and I might do together at such a pivotal point in his growth. This was not as easy as it sounds, since our tastes have begun to diverge. In earlier days there was only one set of tastes to satisfy on father-son outings: my own. He seemed happy just to tag along. Outings in those days were thus brief, warm and dry; preferably not more than a half hour's drive from a good restaurant with a liquor license. My son's tastes, now asserting themselves, tend toward activities involving tents, cooking utensils, firewood, bug spray, bugs. He picked this up as a Webelo. I was never a Webelo.
Royal River Rafting presented itself as a kind of golden compromise, described by a friend as part of a trend toward "adventure vacations." I agreed in spite of deep-seated misgivings. Anything described as both an "adventure" and a "vacation" was–let's be honest–conceptually incoherent. The two words cancel each other out.

Dark legends surround a russian masterwork, stolen by the nazis and now, heroically, seemingly impossibly, reborn.
By Richard Nalley
Stepping inside the Amber Room in the Catherine Palace museum outside St. Petersburg is like slipping into a fairy tale–the story of Aladdin's Cave, maybe. Soaring walls bloom with polished shards of amber–bloodred, honey-blond, milky gold–inset with jeweled mosaics and gilded trim. But as with many fairy tales, especially Russian ones, there is a dark side to the Amber Room, too, a shadow of legend and open-ended mystery.
Standing in its presence, a fragile December snowfall floating past the Catherine Palace's windows, I wonder what improbable passions drove the creation of this monumental jewel box, the work of 25 years of genius and frustration, of 70 artisans and scholars reinventing lost crafts and techniques. To put it mildly, we are unlikely ever to see anything like it attempted again.
But of course, it has been done once before: When all is said and done, the ravishing Amber Room is only the reproduction of a fabled original. And no one who knows its story is likely to forget it anytime soon. As ARTNews put it, "The mystery surrounding its fate is to the Russians what UFOs and the Bermuda Triangle are in the West."
Oliver Bath retraces the steps of Papa Hemingway's Paris masterpiece.
AT Taillevent, which is a very great restaurant not far from where Scott and Zelda lived in those days, Peaches was so exuberant after the meal of wild boar and Foie Gras Decanard with caramelized figs and tangerines, after the bottle of Nuits-Saint- Georges, the glasses of Maury, the sweet red wine from the southwest, and the four glasses of 1975 Armagnac, that she wanted to make love under the table. I said no because I want someday to come back to Taillevent and I am certain that they do not like it when patrons make love under the table, even after the other diners have gone and even though the tablecloths are very long. Still, she kept insisting, and finally I had to say, "All right, we're going." It was four-thirty anyway, a time when most decent people have finished lunch.
A brawl erupts on MOUNT Everest as an email goes astray.
By Finn-Olaf Jones
I stood in the sharp sunlight near my tent at Nepal's Everest Base Camp, sipping a mug of tea and scanning the route I was to take for my summit push the next day. After almost two months of acclimating on Mount Everest and filming for the Discovery Channel I was eager to take a crack at the top.
Half a world away my editors in Discovery's headquarters in Bethesda had forwarded my message about the neighboring environmental expedition's claims to also represent Discovery to other departments, who in turn forwarded it to their colleagues. Indeed, the expedition was not being sponsored by Discovery. But the email was forwarded and reforwarded until it reached the expedition next door.
My momentary bliss state on the mountain took a heat-seeking missile as my own Scottish expedition guide suddenly sprang from the environmental expedition's tent and sucker punched me. He was on top of me faster than an avalanche, maniacally hitting me until two Sherpas rushed up and pulled him off. Then things got scary.
Waiting for a helicopter out over the next few days I found myself guarded by Sherpas and hiding out from a furious posse of American "environmentalists." Avalanche, asphyxiation and exposure are hard enough to endure on the craggy flanks of Mount Everest. But I'll bet I'm the first climber to face disaster from a leaked interoffice email.

A Turn Through Normandy with Our Elite Gourmand
By R.W. Apple, Jr.
Normandy is a place for chowers-down, not nibblers. Sole from Dieppe, lamb from the salt marshes near Avranches, tripe stewed in the style of Caen and duck cooked in the style of Rouen are famous among big eaters all across France and far beyond. But it is the black-and-white cows, with their comical black "spectacles," that produce Normandy's thick, ivory-hued cream, which makes possible all the banes of the diet police–the opulent sauce normande, the butter from Isigny, and the cheeses. Ah, the cheeses! Mild, nutty Camembert, more pungent Pont-l'Evêque and unashamedly stinky Livarot. To eat them where they come from, especially if they were made by a farmer, not a factory, is to taste cheese for the first time.
Taller, sturdier and stolider than most Frenchmen, with appetites as big as those of the Yorkshiremen they closely resemble, Normans consume their calories with aplomb; cholesterol-averse foreigners need not apply.
Why Are Humans Nuts For Chocolate?
By Eugenia Bone
Chocolate contains caffeine and theobromine, both stimulants, as well as tryptophan, an amino acid that contributes to the production of serotonin, which in turn diminishes anxiety and in high enough doses causes elation. (The drug Ecstasy, also known as the "love drug," works in a similar fashion.) And chocolate contains phenylethylamine, the "love chemical." This amine seems to raise dopamine levels in the brain–and dopamine peaks during orgasm. Unfortunately, most of chocolate's love chemical metabolizes before reaching the central nervous system. Still, a little dopamine is better than none.

It will be noted that I haven't mentioned Champagne, which is without question the world's most prestigious wine. I have been toasted with it, and have toasted others with it, hundreds of times. But I haven't drunk a glass of it in 37 years. I used to like it, but in 1953 President Eisenhower sent Mrs. Nixon and me on a goodwill trip around the world. For 69 days, at lunch and dinner, we were served Champagne. BY the end of the trip we couldn't stand the taste of it.

The Russian government is being forced to undertake some very drastic measures in an attempt to bring in hard currency.
By Christopher Buckley
Description: Mr. Lenin's body was embalmed at his death in 1924 and stored in a sealed, climate-controlled glass casket. (Shades of Sleeping Beauty!) Every five to ten years the skin, somewhat yellowish but by no means jaundiced-looking, requires a special application of preservative, or "waxing." Under the terms of sale, maintenance is to be provided only by qualified Russian mortuary specialists from the Interior Ministry, expenses to be paid for by the purchaser. (Estimated annual upkeep: $10,000$15,000; varies with the climate.)
Obviously, the Lenin corpse is not for everyone. But as a conversation piece, it would certainly have no equal. The item is fairly compact and could be accommodated to fit in most large dens.
Joseph Alsop Remembers a World "As Dead as the Auk."
By Adam Platt
When Alsop came to Washington, the town still had a recognizable culinary style. This revolved mainly around the grand, Southern houses of the day. In these mansions, cooks cured Virginia hams in bathtubs and kept cribs of live terrapin in the basement. Joe had a fondness for terrapin soup, which, he said, tasted like feet. When the dish disappeared from local menus, he would import it in plastic tubs from the Maryland Club in Baltimore, to eat with crackers and Champagne. He offered some to John Kennedy on the eve of his inauguration, and the young president blanched.
For the dainty darlings attending Lyudmila Bloch's finishing school, it's no spit and all polish.
By Stephanie Cooperman
Rule #1 When meeting someone new: Don't be late. Or only five minutes late. Maybe ten if you blame transportation. Fifteen, tops, if you can feign illness. I am on my way to meet not just anyone new, but Lyudmila Bloch, New York City's queen of etiquette. I'm 16 minutes late, and have only my shoes to blame: 4-inch heels I have chosen especially for the occasion. As I limp into the lobby of the Michelangelo Hotel on 51st Street, I hear the piped-in sounds of Vivaldi's "Spring" and immediately begin to panic. I am about to meet an etiquette teacher and have tea, a beverage I usually consume out of a Snapple bottle.

Unsurprisingly, many reunions tend to happen in remote parts of the country. Unless you have a jones for hanging around rural motor lodges you should plan to arrive on the first day shortly before dinner. You will notice other clusters of people aimlessly wandering the hallways exchanging tentative nods with total strangers on the off chance that they are loosely related to them.
To avoid looking as foolish as everyone else, stay in your room. However, if you are lucky, the Minnesota chapter of the Hell's Angels or the local high school football team will be there at the same time as you. Make friends with them as soon as possible; the recreational entertainment possibilities will be vastly increased.
Do You Really Want to Hang the Picasso in Your House?
By G. Gordon Liddy
Here's the problem," said Vince, the master burglar. "You want to hang that picture in your home–to protect against me you gotta sa-crifice beauty, appearance, conve- nience and comfort. You're gonna buy the best alarm system protection they got, the kind they put in for diamond merchants. Only, already you got a problem. Most businesses have a window.' The owner can only open up and close at a certain time of day, and between dates chosen in advance. You with your picture, it's 24 hours a day and that makes the units of the alarm system you buy more vulnerable to me."
Since 1887 fearless men have barreled headlong down the Cresta Run in St. Moritz to a crescendo of busted sleds and broken bones.
By Barnaby Conrad III
The dream begins like this: I lie prone on a cold steel toboggan with sharp runners, hurtling down a chute of solid ice at 40 miles per hour. I seem to be a paralyzed body-surfer traversing a frozen wave, which rolls me into another wave rising to the right. Now I'm racing toward Shuttlecock, the most treacherous turn of the Cresta Run, becoming an athletic version of Munch's painting, The Scream. I awaken but the ice is still a blue-gray blur inches from my startled eyes.
I have already flown out once, rocketing 15 feet into a pile of hay and snow; the impact left me barely able to stand and wave my bruised arms as instructed. From the tower came the crisp English voice of Lt. Col. Johnny Moss, secretary of the St. Moritz Tobogganing Club: "He's up and apparently unharmed."
The Heartbreak and Heroism of America's Greatest Rod-Maker
By Monte Burke
To Tom Morgan, the perfect fly rod is a "thought rod." It enables the caster to deliver the fly to a precise spot without being conscious of exactly how he got it there. The rod works intuitively–the way you do when you "think" to shake a hand, pick up a fork or wave hello. "It should feel like an extension of your body," says Morgan.
In his case, however, the "thought rod" notion takes on another meaning. Considered by many to be the world's finest living fly-rod-maker–a craft that relies almost solely on feel–the 67-year-old Morgan has not been able to cast, or even hold, one of his creations for more than a decade. Morgan is stricken with a particularly debilitating form of multiple sclerosis. His thought rods are a pure extension of his mind.
Taki Builds His Dream Boat.
When my first wife suddenly decided that life would be more fun without me, I reacted as most Greeks would. I threatened to kill her and any man who came near her. Like most Greeks, however, I did nothing of the sort. Nevertheless, I moped for weeks, boring everyone and threatening suicide. That's when my father came to the rescue.
"Your mother is worried about you," he told me over the telephone from Greece. "I know you're faking, but do go and buy yourself a boat. And charge it to me."
This was 1968. My only regret after accepting my father's generous offer was that I had not thought of threatening suicide before. I had been trying to get a boat of my own since the late '50s, when I first sailed on my dad's magnificent Aries, a 106-foot Camper & Nicholsons ketch, now a classic. Who needs a wife when he has a boat? Or, as my old man always said, He who has a yacht has a different wife every night.
Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall on tennis techniques for the rest of your life
By Eliot Berry
The great French champion Rene Lacoste's caveat for the younger championship player, "A lob which is not perfect is, as a rule, a complete failure," is a warning well worth considering. But according to Laver and Rosewall, what used to be considered a defensive lob when you were a gazelle of a youth has become in effect an offensive lob when you and your opponents are older. It makes sense. As you get older, it is harder to run backward and leap than it is to come forward. Make your opponents play the ball moving backward.
Hefting Jack Nicklaus' Bag
By James Y. Bartlett
The putter was a heel-and-toe weighted bronzed thing. It fit nicely into the belly of a little stuffed golden bear head cover. Cute, yes. But a real pain for a caddy. I lived in fear of losing it or having it stolen, and I never knew exactly what to do with it.
The bag, which probably tipped the scales at 40 pounds, had all kinds of zippered compartments. The big front area held Jack's rain suit, an extra sweater and the travel cover. Side compartments contained a half-dozen golf gloves, rules book, tees, ball markers, Band-Aids and aspirin. The back compartment held four sleeves of Jack's ball: Maxfli HT-100. Balata cover. 100 compression. Number 5 only. Imprinted on the side with the word "Jack."

What's the Difference Between Books Like Handling Your Boss and Your Child's Second Year? None.
By P.J. O'Rourke
Of course, as every son, brother and husband knows, women are smarter than we are. But it can't be only that. Looking around at my fellow male employees I realize that everything is smarter than we are. The copy machine, for instance.
The fact is that women possess a body of arcane knowledge, a set of complex skills, an ancient esoteric understanding that no one else has. This profound wisdom is shrugged off by the ignorant (i.e., me) in the single dismissive phrase "good with kids."
But one day I came home from work and was fuming into my martini about childish clients, infantile coworkers and a boss who was a spoiled brat when what should my eyes behold but–a spoiled brat. There was my daughter, aged 19 months, in the middle of the living room shouting "No!," kicking the furniture and otherwise acting like every CEO since the great Ice Age, Inc., takeover of Woolly Mammoth, Ltd. Then my wife breezed into the room and did something involving a sippy cup and a Barney tape. Peace reigned. I had a brilliant insight. For a man.
Women are successful in the business world because the business world was created by men. Men are babies. And women are good with kids.
A Former Ambassador and White House Aide's Guide to Remaining Composed

Where Should You Look When You're Talking to Someone?

Swing both feet out at the same time. This allows you to stand up quickly and greet the people waiting for you, which is important if there are cameras around.
Should You Smile If They're Taking Your Picture?
Let's face it, some people look ghastly when they give an old-fashioned grin, displaying stretch lines and lopsided lips. The first President Bush pioneered a technique that works well: Just open your mouth and twinkle your eyes. For some people it looks better than their real smile.
Stress? Bring it on.
By William F. Allman
Some people actually like stress: The same stressful situation that produces a foggy brain and leaden legs in some can be an invigorating tonic to others, focusing the mind and revving the body. The difference between rising to the occasion–having what's called the "challenger response"–and having the "choking" or "tanking" response that numbs mind and body has a lot to do with a person's biochemistry, argue scientists. The precise mix of that biochemical cocktail is partly dependent on one's parents, partly on experiences, and ultimately, on one's attitude. But most important, it can be changed: When the going gets tough, it appears, the tough actually get tougher.
By George H.W. Bush
4. Don't go around giving opinions on everything. Resist the inevitable call from academia that goes something like this: "We must find a formal way to use the experience of all past presidents." Forget that one. Your successor's team doesn't really care how you think things should be done. If they do, they'll ask. And if you really feel strongly about something, drop him a line, but don't leak it to the press. The important thing is, quit worrying about your legacy. It's up to others to decide that.
When Food and Power Collide, Meals can Get a Little Messy.
By Thomas Jackson
One warm day in April 1931, an ambitious young businessman, Charles "Lucky" Luciano, took his employer, Giuseppe "Joe the Boss" Masseria, to lunch at Scarpato's on Coney Island. Although Masseria must have known Luciano had designs on his job, both men enjoyed themselves, eating lobster and pasta with clam sauce and drinking vats of Chianti. When they were finished, Luciano politely excused himself to the men's room, whereupon three consultants waiting outside, one of whom is thought to have been Las Vegas entrepreneur Bugsy Siegel, walked briskly into the restaurant and downsized Masseria with tommy guns.
It was a paradigmatic business lunch. Both men had great fun, despite the divided nature of their relationship. Then the inevitable act of aggression occurred, as it must at any meal where real power is at stake. On the surface, lunch is a friendly, civil affair. Down below, it roils.
Vanishing is Easy. It's Staying Hidden That's Hard.

"Welcome to your new life. You've cut your hair and grown a beard. You've affected glasses, gained 10 pounds–it's been shown that weight loss or gain is the most effective of all disguises–and even the wife and kids you left behind wouldn't recognize you. It was all so easy. Happy now?"
How to be One Up at the Royal and Ancient Game of Name-Dropping
By Christopher Buckley
"The Counter-Warren Gambit: J. Tierney, of New York, New York, introduced this one at a dinner party. The guest, adept at the Surname Drop, had been going on at length about his great pal, Warren. Tierney let him exhaust himself, then countered: Oh, you mean the actor.
Actor' was pronounced disparagingly, as in pig farmer.' This was swiftly followed with, I assumed you meant Warren Buffett.'"

"My first briefcase wasn't a de rigueur hard-shell attaché, but a canvas number, black, that I hoped would reflect a studied casualness and cool rebelliousness. I imagined that it said, doesn't run with the pack,' though the fact is that at that time I would have run with any pack that paid me enough to make the rent."
Far Out on the Vietnam War's Lonely Edge, Robert Mitchum Pays a Christmas Visit to the Green Berets.
By Daniel Carpenter
The captain told one of the troopers to get Mitchum whatever he wanted.
"What do you pay for a drink?"
Twenty-five cents, the captain told him. Ten cents for a beer.
"How much to buy the whole bar?"
"I don't know."
"Well, figure it out," Mitchum said with a sly grin, and took a fat roll of bills from his pocket.
It cost him a couple of hundred to buy the bar. The troopers drank free, on his tab, for a few months.
"That a craps table I see?" Mitchum said.
"Yes it is."
"Well, let's get some shooters up here."
"You know," one of the chopper pilots said to the captain, "we'd kind of like to be out of here by dark."
"Yeah," the captain said, "I imagine you would."
It took Mitchum an hour or so to lose his roll at the craps table. He told some Hollywood stories and described Marilyn Monroe as "a nice kid."
No man has ever been happier to leave anyplace than the j.g. who was responsible for Robert Mitchum out in the bush. But Mitchum seemed almost sorry to go.
Next up: Ronald Reagan, Tom Wolfe, Henry Kissinger
By William F. Buckley, Jr.
David Niven The first time: On the telephone was John Kenneth Galbraith. He had under his wing Jacqueline Kennedy, who was trying to get a week's vacation, skiing. She was followed everywhere and Professor Galbraith had undertaken her protection and looked out, too, for her social life. Did I want to join them for dinner at the chalet of David Niven and his wife Hjördis? That's when I met him.
There was an evening years later in Monaco. We'd have drinks in the palace with Prince Rainier and then dinner at a restaurant as guests of David Niven.
There was one problem. We had hit Rainier in one of his grumpy moods. That kind of a situation was, for David Niven, a challenge.
David launched into an autobiographical account of his seduction at age 15 by an accomplished lady of the night. He imitated sundry accents. The words were lightly ribald, amusing, evocative. Before the second course, the Prince was a rollicking companion.
Ah, to be Young–and a Spy–In the City of Light
By James Chace
My intelligence contact in 1953, an old Harvardian with horn-rimmed glasses and wearing chino pants, found me living in Paris. And yes, I told him, I would see what I could find out about the French Left. The Cold War was worth winning, wasn't it?
I then moved through the city as in a dream, my days in libraries, my evenings at meetings of aging Gaullists and shabby Trotskyites, and the war in Indochina raging 6,000 miles away, and I was told it threatened us all. Yet late at night, after listening to jazz on the rue de la Huchette, I would take a woman I knew to the tiny island of the Vert Galant, where the Seine lapped against the breakwater, and drink Champagne and watch the lights play along the towers of the Louvre.

To mark the 85th birthday of
Arnulf Rainer
(b. 1929 in Baden near Vienna), one of Austria's foremost contemporary artists, Galerie m Bochum is presenting a show of works by the artist from April 24 to June 13, 2015. Among the most influential painters of the present day, Rainer rose to international fame early on, with solo exhibitions at major museums such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
The current exhibition is Rainer's 10th solo show at Galerie m in the space of 35 years. On view are an early black overpainting, photobooth portraits and examples from the work groups "Fingermalereien," (Finger Paintings) "Christusübermalungen" (Overpaintings of Christ Images) and "Animalia," as well as pictures from the 1990s.
The exhibition features a now-rare black overpainting from around 1958. In the 1950s, Rainer began to rework his earlier paintings, developing them further and overpainting them. Soon he extended this prolonged work process, involving several steps, to works by other artists, as well as to photographs and reproductions. In search of "contemplative tranquility" – as he puts it – he arrived at monochromatic colored surfaces nearly covering the entire canvas. "The very dark image, full of an overwhelming silence, is to me ideal." (Rainer) In the 1970s a phase of intense engagement with photobooth portraits is followed by an interest in finger painting. The exhibited "Fingermalerei, schwarz" from 1977/94 demonstrates the intuitive creation process and the physical and emotional involvement of the artist. Equally expressive are the later paintings "Holzwege (nach Heidegger)" (Off the Beaten Track [after Heidegger], 1994) and "Wasserfall" (Waterfall, 1995) whose dense layers of paint bear the marks of repeated overworking, reminiscent of injuries and scars.
Overpaintings of Christ images became an important theme for the artist in the 1980s. With his powerful adaptations of reproductions of historical representations of Christ, Rainer heightened their ability to convey suffering.
In an attempt to overcome a personal trauma experienced upon encountering a black adder, the artist then took up 19th-century scientific illustrations of snakes. The work group "Animalia" comprises a number of modified animal images, the overpainting serving to enhance their dramatic effect.
The exhibits on view document Rainer's constant quest for new directions in painting and attest to his direct and intense confrontation with the representational potential of the painted surface.

Bollworms have been showing up in cotton fields across Arkansas. They're especially prevalent in south Arkansas, said Glenn Studebaker, entomologist with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service.
"They began showing up at the end of last week (July 16-22) in south Arkansas and now they're in north Arkansas," Studebaker said. "We're seeing pretty heavy numbers."
The entomologist said insect numbers tend to "blow up" in July and August. Worms tend to get worse this time of year in cotton as do the late-season insects, plant bugs and stink bugs.
"The big problem is that farmers are finding damage in Bollgard cotton, Bt cotton genetically modified to provide protection against tobacco budworms. Usually, they provide some protection against bollworms. But this year seems to be worse. Farmers are having to spray a lot of Bt cotton for bollworms."
Studebaker said the insects are feeding in the terminal area on the upper plant. Usually, if they survive on Bt cotton, they feed from the lower portion of the plant.
Why isn't the variety providing some degree of protection?
"It's too early to say why yet. It could be a natural cycle or it could be growing tolerance for Bt in these insects," Studebaker said.
"Farmers have been growing Bt cotton for about 10 years. Bollworms always had some tolerance to Bt, but after 10 years, we may have been selecting for insects that are more tolerant."
He said the good news is that dual genetically protected Bt, Bollgard II, cotton is still holding up well against bollworms and tobacco budworms. This variety has two proteins that provide double protection.
The single protein Bt variety is working well to protect against budworms.
If bollworms are becoming more tolerant of Bt cotton, what will that mean to farmers?
"It could mean that more farmers will switch to Monsanto's Bollgard II or Dow's Wide Strike if we continue to see more bollworm damage to regular Bollgard," Studebaker said. "The only problem is these are more expensive."
Meanwhile, farmers with Bt cotton being damaged by bollworms are having to spray with pyrethroid insecticides. But Studebaker said it's never a good thing when farmers have to spray costly insecticides.
In conventional cotton that doesn't offer genetic protection, farmers are seeing budworms and bollworms. They should spray pyrethoroids mixed with Tracer or Denim, Studebaker said.
Unfortunately, it hits harder in a year like this when farmers are facing lost profit from high fuel and fertilizer prices. While spraying decreases their profits, Studebaker said farmers can't afford to let insects steal their yields by not spraying.
He said farmers need to make sure their cotton fields are scouted for insects. He said they also need to check soybean and grain sorghum fields for bollworms, since they also feed on these crops.

Ride enthusiasts are already drooling over a multi-launch roller coaster coming to a Swedish amusement park that promises six inversions and a series of near-miss encounters with other rides dotting a wooded hillside terrain.
Photos: Projekt Helix megacoaster at Liseberg
Dubbed Projekt Helix, the $30-million coaster is set to debut in spring 2014 at the Liseberg amusement park located outside Gothenburg, about equidistant between Oslo, Norway, and Copenhagen, Denmark, along Sweden's west coast.
The new ride won't break any records, but Liseberg boasts that Projekt Helix will be among the best coasters in the world.
"You're only the longest or tallest or fastest for a short while," said Liseberg CEO and President Andreas Andersen. "What we wanted to build was a new classic."
Helix will be based on the 60-mph Blue Fire megacoaster built by Mack Rides at Germany's Europa-Park.
I have ridden Mack's Blue Fire coaster at SeaWorld San Diego, which opened Manta in 2012. Coaster fans living in Sweden or heading to Liseberg for vacation can expect Helix to be glass-smooth, whisper-quiet and surprisingly comfortable.
Theme Park Review, a fan site that plans coaster excursions around the world, has already scheduled a trip to Scandinavia in 2014 with Helix as the highlight.
"The Mack-built Blue Fire became an instant favorite of ours after its debut at Europa-Park a few years ago," said Robb Alvey, who runs Theme Park Review. "Hearing the news that Liseberg would receive a larger, even more insane looking version of that coaster, it's high on our must ride list for 2014."
The 135-foot-tall dual-launch Helix will feature plenty of steep drops, banked turns and airtime hills as well as six inversions, including a pretzel loop, a heart-line roll and a pair of corkscrews.
Helix's 4,445-foot track will start near the base of the Atmosfear free-fall tower and interact with the 1987 Lisebergbanan coaster and the 2007 Uppswinget pendulum swing along its hill-hugging journey. The Maxxima 3-D cinema will be removed to make way for the new coaster station building.
Dating back to 1923, Liseberg is known for its innovative coaster lineup that began with the always-colorful and ever-changing Bergbanan funicular and continues today with the 2003 Balder, twice voted the best wooden coaster in the world.
For 2013, Liseberg plans to open a new Rabbit Land kiddie area with a monorail, two junior drop towers, a mini Ferris wheel and a small coaster called Stampbanan.

This week, UKNakedMen is pleased to feature Bruno Fox and Paul Walker. We explore one of Bruno's long-term fantasies about servicing a hot, hung straight boy. When he found out who he would be filming with, the super-sexed foot fetishist jumped at the chance to play bottom to the stunning Paul. Then again, take a look at his stiff, veiny cock. Even the strictest of tops would have difficulty saying no to flipping for the sexy young hunk! Bruno bends over double and spreads his tight hole for Paul's mighty meat. Oh, yes. He struggles to take the entire length…at first. But with Paul gently thrusting deeper and deeper into his hungry, hot hole, Bruno relaxes and Paul slides home. Once inside, Paul builds up steam, his hips grinding into and against Bruno. Hot skin on hot skin, pumping, writhing and sweating, until Paul can no longer hold back all that hot-straight-boy seed. Want some? Check out Paul Walker and Bruno Fox in this exclusive scene from UKNakedMen!
Faster. Deeper. Wait! Don't. Stop.
Aaron Steel comes to us at UKNakedMen, bringing his sexual fantasy along. It's big, tanned, and toned hunk — not to mention hung! — Frank Valencia. Hairy bottom Aaron couldn't wait to spread his beefy arse cheeks, bend over and get his hole filled and stretched to the max with Frank's big dick. Turns out Frank's a merciless fucker, pushing eager Aaron to the brink. Poor lad was begging for him to stop almost as much as he was begging for Frank to go faster and deeper. All in Spanish, of course, but you get the gist: Faster. Deeper. Wait! Don't. Stop. Don't stop! The big-dicked Spanish top is a born exhibitionist who loves to strip off and perform, just the thought of all those eyes on him. Knowing he's being watched heightens the pleasures of this horny fucker until he absolutely cannot hold back his splattering cum. And it spews everywhere, but mostly all over Aaron's big, hairy ass and gaping hole. Wanna see?

Hot Aussie Woody Fox Massaged Inside And Out
Woody Fox is the type of guy who is simply put, irresistible. Up to now, the adorable and sexy Aussie has been top. But in this fantasy scenario — straight from Woody's sometimes pervy mind — his massage takes an unexpected turn and Woody ends up on the bottom, massaged inside AND out! It's a "massage gone bad," as if that could ever be, with stunning, big-dicked guy-next-door Dan Broughton. Woody offers up his toned sexy body and very tight hole to Dan's talented fingers, tongue and big, fat uncut cock. Woody's brave, eager struggling is incredibly sexy as he squeezes that big tool inside him. And it all ends in a gloriously sweaty, gummy, sticky mess. Woody might be an inexperienced bottom but he seems to be getting the hang of it.
Alan Probe Is The New Doc In Town
Doctor P.Q. Leer might be gone but now, there's a NEW doctor in town! And take it from us…okay, okay, take it from Jace Tyler…Dr. Alan Probe is every bit as good as the last one. Even if he does have a — pardon the pun — a peculiar name. But what's in a name, you might ask? Well, don't think too hard. It's just what you would expect. Jace pays the new doctor a visit for an arm injury. Wink, wink. More like wrist strain. The good Dr. Probe wastes little time in examining Jace's arm, moving quickly to his area of expertise…ASS! Before long, he's got Jace's asshole stretched wide open with a series of purple translucent butt plugs. During his anal exam, Jace opens the doc's fly and sucks the big, fat uncut cock. Then Dr. Probe decides to use his most effective instrument on Jace's stretched hole; his cock! Surely you didn't think it was anything else? He gives his patient a deep and thorough fucking and, amazingly, Jace's arm is healed in record time. No doubt he'll spread the word to his mates and Dr. Probe's office will soon be filled with horny guys wanting the doc's "special" treatment.

Comorbidities are common among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a number of these comorbidities are independently associated with an increased mortality risk, according to a new study.
"We followed 1,664 COPD patients recruited from five pulmonary clinics in the United States and Spain for a median of 51 months," said lead author Miguel Divo, MD, a physician in the Pulmonary and Critical Division at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School. "Among the 79 comorbidites we observed in these patients, 12 were significantly and independently associated with an increased risk of death."
The 12 comorbidities with the strongest association with an increased risk for death were lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, esophageal cancer, breast cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, atrial fibrillation/flutter, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, gastric/duodenal ulcers, liver cirrhosis, diabetes with neuropathy and anxiety.
"We used these 12 comorbidities to develop a new comorbidity risk index (the COPD specific CO-morbidity Test, or COTE)," Dr. Divo said. "After adjustment for age, gender, race, and BODE (Body Mass Index; FEV1; Dyspnea and Exercise capacity) index, an increased COTE index was a significant predictor of death in our cohort of COPD patients."
The findings were published online ahead of print publication in the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
The average number of comorbidities per subject in the cohort overall was 6.0 (±3.5), and the average number of comorbidities was significantly higher among non-survivors (6.5 ±3.8) compared with survivors (5.8 ±3.3).
"These easily identifiable comorbidities could be screened by health care providers caring for COPD patients, as there may be effective interventions that may help decrease the risk of death," Dr. Divo said.
The study had some limitations. The proportion of women included in the study (11 percent) was low. Some patients were excluded at baseline because of comorbidities that might cause early death, including a recent myocardial infarction, severe congestive heart failure, and untreated cancer. Finally, patients were recruited from specialty clinics, and so might not represent all COPD patients.
"In this study we have confirmed earlier observations that patients with COPD frequently suffer from comorbidities, and have shown that 12 specific comorbidities are associated with an increased mortality risk in these patients," Dr. Divo concluded. "The simple comorbidity risk index we developed based on these 12 comorbidities complements the BODE index and can be used to help predict an increased risk of death in COPD patients in both clinical and research settings."

Charlie Daniels Reclaims Sight With New Eye Surgery
Southern rocker Charlie Daniels is 75 and hasn't been able to see without the help of contacts or glasses in 68 years. According to his website, the singer's eyesight was damaged by a high fever when he was 7-years-old. The Grand Ole Opry member has cataracts, and as a result, has experienced failing eyesight for the bulk of his life. But this week, Daniels underwent an innovative new process called Smart Eye Surgery, which will restore his eyesight once again.
"I'm just looking forward to not having to reach up and pat around the table for glasses when I get up in the morning to see where I'm going," he told WKRN-TV/Nashville. Daniels is one of the first people in Tennessee to have the surgery, which is so revolutionary it allows surgeons to remove a cataract and immediately customize the treatment to the patient all in one surgery. Dr. Ming Wang, a respected Nashville eye doctor, was the first cataract surgeon in Tennessee to perform the new procedure.
"We can actually do mid-flight adjustment on the operating table, before surgery is finished, to test drive to see how well, this particular patient's body, in this case Mr. Charlie Daniels, is reacting to the lens implanted," Dr. Wang explained. Because the surgery lets doctors make adjustments in the middle, the recovery time is shortened. Daniels got the operation on his left eye Tuesday (April 3) and then on his right eye Thursday (April 5).
The 'Devil Went Down to Georgia' singer seems to be doing well, as he took the opportunity to hit Twitter Wednesday between his two surgeries to say, "One down, one to go. Next surgery tomorrow morning." He also Tweeted a photo of himself wearing dark glasses and holding two thumbs up. His tour will be taking him to Minnesota Friday, April 13, where he'll play the Shooting Star Casino.

Prune belly syndrome
Prune belly syndrome is a group of birth defects that involve three main problems:
- Poor development of the abdominal muscles, causing the skin of the belly area to wrinkle like a prune
Undescended testicles(cryptorchidism)
- Urinary tract problems
Alternative Names
Eagle-Barrett syndrome; Triad syndrome; Urethral obstruction malformation sequence
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The causes of prune belly syndrome are unknown. The condition affects mostly boys.
While in the womb, the developing baby's abdomen swells with fluid. That fluid disappears after birth, leading to a wrinkled abdomen that looks like a prune. The appearance is more noticeable due to the lack of abdominal muscles.
Weak abdominal muscles can cause:
- "Little Buddha" appearance
- Delay in sitting and walking
- Difficulties coughing
Urinary tract problems can cause difficulty urinating.
Signs and tests
A woman who is pregnant with a baby who has prune belly syndrome may not have enough amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios). This can cause the infant to have lung problems.
In some cases, a pregnancy ultrasound may also help determine if the baby has:
- Heart problems
- Bone/muscle (musculoskeletal) abnormalities
- Stomach and intestinal problems
- Underdeveloped lungs
The following tests may be performed on the baby after birth to diagnose the condition:
- Blood tests
Intravenous pyelogram(IVP)
- Ultrasound
Voiding cystourethrogram(VCUG)
- X-ray
Early surgery is recommended to fix weak abdominal muscles, urinary tract problems, and undescended testicles.
The baby may be given antibiotics to treat or help prevent urinary tract infections.
Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)
Prune belly syndrome is a serious and often life-threatening problem.
Many infants with prune belly syndrome are either
Some newborns survive but continue to have problems.
Complications depend on the related problems. The most common are:
- Constipation
- Bone deformities (
clubfoot, dislocated hip, missing limb or digit, funnel chest)
- Disease of the urinary tract (patients may need dialysis and a kidney transplant)
Undescended testicles can lead to
Calling your health care provider
Prune belly syndrome is usually diagnosed before birth or when the baby is born.
If you have a child with diagnosed prune belly syndrome, call your health care provider at the first sign of a urinary tract infection or other urinary symptoms.
If a pregnancy ultrasound shows that your baby has a distended bladder or enlarged kidneys, talk to a specialist in high-risk pregnancy or perinatology.
There is no known way to prevent this condition. If the baby is diagnosed with a urinary tract obstruction before birth, in rare cases surgery during the pregnancy may help prevent the problem from progressing to prune belly syndrome.

Tommy Flanagan
Recorded at the Village Vanguard on the night of his 67th birthday, Tommy Flanagan celebrated by recording this memorable set. Joined by bassist Peter Washington and drummer Lewis Nash, the brilliant pianist devours two up-tempo bop classics by Thad Jones, "Birdsong" and "Let's," plus a trio of tunes by Tom MacIntosh (a composer who merits wider recognition). His lengthy sojourn through Dizzy Gillespie's "Tin Tin Deo" explores new ground, while the late trumpeter's lesser-known "I Waited for You" is quite enchanting. Flanagan's arrangement of the title track, a rarely performed song from Duke Ellington's "Queen's Suite," matches the elegance of the late composer's recording. His dramatic solo of "Good Night My Love" is dedicated to his wife Diana, who is not only present but heard answering her husband's call to her at the end of the night. ~ Ken Dryden

If you decided tomorrow to be an out-and-out, self-declared white supremacist, then what would you do differently?
If you already spend your time e.g. writing articles about how touchy-feely liberalism puts everyone at risk of being beheaded by crazed Jihadists, or discovering who The Real Racists are by sharing dodgy comments made by black teenagers, or continually retweeting news stories about Muslims being convicted of crimes, or angrily focusing on Mo Farah's alleged steroid use while wholly ignoring similar stories about non-religious athletes, or calculating the percentage chance of a random male being a sex offender by controlling for country of origin....
Well, my point should be fairly clear. From this baseline, it's difficult to see how you can take it up a notch to actual declared white supremacism.
If you're already carrying on like this, and quite gleefully too, then the difference between your behaviour and what you'd consider to be provably bigoted activities is pretty academic. You could maybe be a bit more conspiratorial or wave suspect flags or use racial epithets but ultimately, these are differences of tone rather than content.
So I suppose the question is: If the only way that you could be more openly prejudiced would be to do exactly what you're doing but slightly more so, then why the hell would you bother getting pissy when people tell you that you're racist? The line you're attempting to draw is so impossibly fine that it may as well not exist.
And this is before we get onto one of the iron rules of public conduct, which is: You don't have to be racist to be an arsehole, nor do you need to be a strident bigot to be a really unpleasant person to spend time with.

Yes, that's a real landspeeder, just like Luke Skywalker's X-34 in Star Wars. No computer-generated Hollywood movie magic here. Well, except that it doesn't exactly hover. The fiberglass body is mounted on a custom aluminum electric car chassis. With a top speed of only about 25 MPH, it's going to take awhile to get across the Tatooine desert, seeing as the three thrusters are non-functional. But it sure does make the neighbor kid's Power Wheels truck look lame.
Builder Daniel Deutsch, a Lucasfilm employee, has also made a custom R2-D2 complete with a built-in video projector. Fans of his work apparently include Joey Fatone (if you don't know who that is, consider yourself lucky). We're fans too, but Daniel says he doesn't have any interest in selling off his creations. Too bad, because this would be the perfect way to out-pose the DeLoreans at the Woodward Dream Cruise. [Daniel Deutsch via Gizmodo]

Rating 3.5/5 Word Count 86 Review this Chapter
Jacob, Jacob
We adore you
With your big and wolfy eyes
My heart is all yours
Please protect it
Like you would with Bella's heart
You make all my fears and problems
Melt away within your arms
I love you
And all werewolves
But none comfort me like you do
I here howling in the night
And know you are by my side
Loving and forgiving wolf,
Please don't break my love for you
All your freinds my say what they want
But nothing can come between us
Stay with me and forgive me
And in return I will never hurt you

Hart Crane: At Melville's Tomb
This fabulous shadow only the sea keeps.
Robert Penn Warren cited this little poem as reflecting Melville's "obsessive theme of sudden disaster in the midst of pride and success".
It's hard to argue that from the vantage of the bottom of the ocean, success would be pretty hard to make out. Because of all those other ambient tufts of kelp occluding the view, among other things.
There are some natural enemies against which poems, especially poems as small and fragile as this one, have little defense.
Among these, surely none is as fearsome as the Assigned Essay.
It is always wonderful, in a way -- and too, always terrible, in a way -- to wander among the drear thickets of homework posted online.
One student confronted with "The Tuft of Kelp" turned to the tried and true method of spilling upon an insouciant cybersphere the first thought that came to mind, followed by the second thought, & c.
One advantage of this method: the virtual certainty that no one (including, and perhaps especially, the assigning instructor) will ever read what has been written.
Thus it is in the pristine solitude of our viewing module that we are allowed the honor of learning from one such stab-in-the-dark student essay the putative causes of the curious bitterness of the tuft of kelp.
"The kelp is bitter because it is a part of the natural world and because it has been ignored as something unimportant. This suggests that Melville felt that his work was being ignored."
Viewed in this welcome trickle of light amid the general obscurity of the sea floor, the plight of the tuft of kelp, caught up in a potentially lethal pathetic fallacy, does indeed begin to enlist our sympathy. Almost. Then again, if you're kelp, what's so bad about just accepting the fact and getting on with things?
After all, it can hardly be said that being a tuft of kelp is a fate worse than death.
Who would not prefer to be a tuft of kelp -- even for that matter a tuft of kelp that is retentively harbouring all sorts of bitter reactive feelings about its perceived lack of literary success -- than, for example, a doorknob?
A tuft of kelp would be more fortunate than a doorknob in several respects. It would be alive, first off. And then too, it would be secure from having antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains rubbed all over it every time it is handled by a human.
For as thoughtless and cruel as some humans are capable of being, few indeed would think to take out their resentment of the natural world, and their bitterness regarding literary failure, by depositing their germs upon on a mere tuft of kelp.
Not so much its innocence as its insubstantiality -- not to mention its submarine remoteness, which almost goes without mentioning -- would then be the tuft of kelp's first line of defense. Against microbes. If not also against critical-essay assignments.
Oh my, our dear Nin had saved the day, and the endangered dignity of the tuft of kelp, just when it had seemed all might be lost -- and we hadn't known!
(The complex Scylla-and-Charybdis perils of Moderation!!)
And by the by, for those who can't get through the rest of their day without being relieved of the burden of not knowing what a kelp tuft sounds like:
A half-minute of kelp tuft
I like Charlie Melville's (or is it Herman Brown's?) beard very much.
"...the circuit calm of one vast coil".
A very strange stillness in this line.
I've been working on "The Kelp Tuft" in the lounge just but it's a long way from being ready for the dance floor of the local discotheque (or whatever the young people call it these days).
WB, Yes, there's definitely an institutional ring to those kelp tuft beats. I believe they call that sort of assembly of robotic dancing fools "The AWP Conference" over here. (On your side of the large water, I think it's simply "The Capital One Cup".)
And thanks very much for noticing "At Melville's Tomb", with that circuit calm of one vast coil and all. Surely a great many kelp tufts could be jammed into that coil.
When an unknown poet named Hart Crane sent this poem to Poetry magazine editor Harriet Monroe in 1926, an interesting exchange ensued. The correspondence provides a revealing document of the poet's figurative method.
Monroe enquired:
"Take me for a hard-boiled, unimaginative, unpoetic reader, and tell me how dice can bequeath an embassy (or anything else); and how a calyx (of death's bounty or anything else) can give back a scattered chapter, livid hieroglyph; and how, if it does, such a portent can be wound in corridors (of shells or anything else). . . . I find your image of frosted eyes lifting altars difficult to visualize. Nor do compass, quadrant and sextant contrive tides, they merely record them, I believe."
And Crane replied:
"The nuances of feeling and observation in a poem may well call for certain liberties which you claim the poet has no right to take. I am simply making the claim that the poet does have that authority, and that to deny it is to limit the scope of the medium so considerably as to outlaw some of the richest genius of the past. You ask me how compass, quadrant, and sextant 'contrive' tides. I ask you how Eliot can possibly believe that 'Every street lamp that I pass beats like a fatalistic drum!' . . . It is of course understood that a street-lamp simply can't beat with a sound like a drum; but it often happens that images, themselves totally dissociated, when joined in the circuit of a particular emotion located with specific relation to both of them, conduce to great vividness and accuracy of statement in defining that emotion".
A reader here makes out an echo of The Tempest in Crane's poem.
(That would seem an astute reader of the sound of one kelp tuft floating, to me.)
Call Me Ishmael
"Kelp! Kelp!"
Or so I thought I heard
Rising up
From Crane's fabulous deep,
That imagined agonizing
Yelp which made Harriet weep.

Pain in the neck.
I've been working on so many things for last month or so. I have been pulling few all nighters. I really thought that I don't have to do that bullshit after college, but it seems like I do more all nighters than I ever did in college. My neck and shoulders feel so stiff. I seriously need to get some massage. I think the pain I'm having is turning into chronic pain. It's definitely here to stay. I feel so freakin old when ever I look in the mirror. I hardly get to sleep as I used to. I wish I can sleep 10 hours straight. So drawing for myself is kinda out of question lately. But I can't complain what I do though. I need to make money to feed the family and buy diapers for the little one. Here are some life drawings I did, back when I was free enough to take workshops.
