Waikato-based Manuka Honey producers, Summer Glow sponsor Raglan Christmas in the Park 2015
WAIKATO-BASED Manuka Honey producers, SummerGlow have reached out in an act of social giving to sponsor the 2015 Raglan Christmas in the Park. The event, which is held on every second year for the community will this year be held on Sunday the 6th of December at the Kopua Domain from 5pm.
This year's event will feature one of New Zealand's most popular entertainers, Stan Walker, who will perform along with a range of other top community acts. Walker won Australian Idol in 2009 and has since had triple platinum album success. Stan Walker has also one five New Zealand Music Awards, acted in movies such as Mt Zion and recently released Born to Dance as well as judge X Factor NZ.
The event, which is being organized by Surfside Church, is expected to attract double the turn out this time around. The Congregation of Surfside Church as well as the community are excited to be hosting Stan Walker but the event organisers wanted to stress that this is not a Stan Walker concert but a family friendly variety concert featuring a number of acts as well as childrens activities and a visit from Santa for the Raglan Community.
The cost of holding Christmas in the Park is met by fundraising sponsorships from the local community and businesses and grants by the Waikato District Council and various trusts. This year the event is likely to cost twice as much as it usually does so sponsorships from companies like SummerGlow is vital for the event's success.
"SummerGlow have been sponsors of our Christmas in the Park event for a few years now and this year they have stepped up their sponsorship to become a platinum sponsor," says event sponsorship co-ordinator Norris Peart.
"The Raglan Christmas in the Park is a free community event with community acts as well as this year featuring Stan Walker. The family event is put on for the Raglan community to enjoy and hopefully will display the true meaning of Christmas throughout," adds Norris.
The cost of having Stan Walker perform as well as the cost for extra security and other facilities during the bigger event this year means sponsorship such as that from SummerGlow is really important and extremely appreciated.
Social giving is a MediaPA initiative to get companies working towards giving back to their community. MediaPA have a passion for social giving and believe it is a vital part of success for any business.
SummerGlow is the original source of genuine Manuka Honey. When you think Manuka Honey, think SummerGlow.

For those of us that have loved the tools that Mark and Bryce have created over the years, pay attention. Winternals/Sysinternals has been acquired by Microsoft. It is my hope/belief that many of these tools may become a standard part of any new operating systems released by Microsoft. However, those decisions have not been made at this moment in time. I hope that Mark is able to assist in "making Windows an even better platform for all of us!" In the mean time, you might want to download the newest versions of these tools and play with them. Many of them are wonderful tools to have in the toolkit of any IT Security professional.

MPs described Donald Trump as a "fool", a "buffoon", and a "wazzock" in a lengthy parliamentary debate about whether to ban the Republican presidential frontrunner from entering the UK.
As Trump himself addressed thousands of students at the evangelical Liberty University in Virginia on Monday, British MPs retreated to a dusty secondary debating chamber in the Houses of Parliament and spent three hours debating whether a man who has pledged to stop all Muslim immigration to the US should himself be stopped from visiting Britain.
"We have to be alive to the possibility that this ridiculous individual – that is, Mr Trump – may be elected president of the United States," said Andrew Murrison MP in Monday's debate, which was held after 500,000 members of the public signed a petition branding Trump's comments as "hate speech" and calling for him to be excluded from the UK.
The largely flat debate in Westminster Hall was one of the best-attended discussions in the history of parliament's secondary debating chamber, and was even broadcast live on US political channel C-Span. Although entirely symbolic, it provided three hours of grandstanding for MPs, who variously made serious legal points about Trump's right to come to Britain and attempted to come up with innovative ways of insulting the potential future US president.
"This is about buffoonery," boldly declared Tory MP Alex Chalk, urging for the Apprentice star to allowed into the country. "And ultimately buffoonery should not be met with the blunt instrument of a ban but with the classic British response of ridicule."
SNP politician Anne McLoughlin noted Trump was the son of a Scottish immigrant, before adding: "And I apologise for that."
More confusingly, Paul Scully MP stood up to declare: "Britain is pretty good at roasting beef – do you not think it's better that we just roast Trump?"
One MP, in apparent bafflement at US politics, simply stated: "It is not for us to try and get into the mind of Donald Trump."
Meanwhile, Muslim Bradford West MP Naz Shah compared Donald Trump to the notorious left-wing politician George Galloway, who she defeated in May's general election: "It's not the first time I've dealt with a demagogue."
Instead she channelled verses from the Qur'an: "Donald Trump would like me banned from America. I wouldn't get my visa. But you know what, in my Islam, in the Qur'an I understand... what it teaches me is that goodness is better than evil. If someone does bad you do good in return."
Conservative MP Victoria Atkins, whose rural Lincolnshire constituency contains a tiny village called New York, said she hoped to stand up for the true "New York values" represented by her constituents, rather those of Donald Trump.
"His comments regarding Muslims are wrong," the MP said. "His policy to close borders if he is elected president is bonkers. If he met one or two of my constituents in one of the many excellent pubs in my constituency then they may well tell him he is a wazzock for dealing with this issue in this way."
But she said she didn't want a ban and insisted Trump would be exposed if he ever came to Britain: "We in the United Kingdom should have enough confidence in our values to allow him to say whatever he wants in New York, New York; New York, Lincolnshire; or anywhere else in the world."
Almost all sides – from the left and right of UK politics – were unanimous in their condemnation of Trump's comment on race and immigration, with the exception of Philip Davies, the outspoken Conservative MP for Shipley, which has a large Muslim population.
"I've heard the remarks that Donald Trump's made by a large number of my constituents," said Davies. "Lots of my constituents would agree with what Donald Trump says, whether I like that or not. [Do fellow MPs] think they should be expelled from the country because of their views and if not, what's the difference?
MPs spent most of the debate giving attention to Trump while simultaneously raising concerns about the level of attention that he was receiving as a result of the debate.
Trump, who has seized on the debate as another example of the establishment turning against him, had threatened to withdraw £700 million of investment in British golf courses if he is banned. However, immigration minister James Brokenshire suggested in the debate that Trump could be over-inflating his figures: "Over the years Mr Trump has made a number of statements about the different scale of his investments in the UK and his willingness to maintain them."
Only the home secretary has the power to ban individuals for hate speech. The government has indicated it is not inclined to ban him and the debate did not end in a vote.
Veteran Labour MP Paul Flynn warned the issue of Trump's potential presidency was a major concern for the UK on many levels: "While we have no right to inform Americans on who they should elect as leader… we do look forward with some trepidation to a future where difficult decisions have to be taken. Should they be taken by a person who is seen to be impulsive, and not well-informed, and has been accused of racial views?"

Industrial processing is always an on-going process, which typically involves
a number of aspects and processes to be taken care of. When it comes to gas and
petroleum industry, refining, filtration and gas coalescing are the most
important processes that are needed to be conducted efficiently so as to remove
the unwanted impurities and contaminants that are present in their natural
forms. In the process of gas coalescing, primary aim always remains to separate
the liquid aerosols from the natural gas streams with the help of devices called
coalescers. These gas-liquid coalescers Wholesale Nick
Leddy Jersey , often called reverse flow coalescers are typically
used to remove the contaminants present in the natural gas so as to make it
suitable as per the pipeline specifications, and additionally they also save the
expensive downstream equipment from potential damage. Via the use of coalescer,
it becomes possible to remove even the finest impurities and therefore find wide
applications in petroleum and gas industries for the removal of water and
hydrocarbon condensate. Several suppliers are offering the high quality
coalescing filters and their elements that one can avail for exceptional
performance in various industrial applications.
Moreover, gas filter,
similar to coalescers is used to eradicate the particulates and contaminants
from either dry or liquid gas stream. The contaminants may be solid or liquid,
depending upon the situation and application in which these filters are
employed. If you are in need of air filters, then there are suppliers that can
make them available for you, and can also modify them to suit specifically to
your varied requirements. Get in touch with them and avail the best air filters
and elements easily.
Apart from coalescers and gas filters, air filter is

GREEN BAY — A pang of conscience bothered Joleen Hunkins one day as she was about to interpret Mass in sign language.
"I was worried about giving my own version of the Gospel," she recalled. "When I told our pastor at the time, he asked me, 'Do you pray before you sign at Mass?'
"I said yes, always. He told me, 'Then don't worry. God works through you just as he works through me.'"
Joleen and her husband, Rich, are members of SS. Edward and Isadore Parish in Flintville. She was a stay-at-home mom for her four children. Now that they are adults, she's a certified interpreter of American Sign Language working at Southwest High School in Green Bay.
Two of her six sisters are also professional interpreters for the deaf. Their family learned to sign to communicate with one of the girls, JoRita, who has been deaf since birth.
Much as the case with learning a second language, it helps to learn American Sign Language when one is young, Hunkins said, and it helps to be a visual learner as well.
"It's a beautiful language," she said, because it is so expressive. "Deaf people like it because it's like their secret they get to share," she said with a grin.
Hunkins has been doing plenty of sharing herself.
She volunteers with the Hand in Hand organization to teach elementary age students sign language and to support them and their families.
Along with regularly interpreting at Sunday Mass for the deaf community at St. John the Evangelist Parish, she volunteered this year to be the catechist working with two young deaf women in the Green Bay parish's RCIA.
She's no stranger to sharing her faith. As a teenager, she taught young children in her parish faith formation program.
As an adult, she volunteered to teach freshman faith formation, then taught the confirmation class when her son, her oldest, went through preparation for the sacrament.
"I just keep getting drawn in," Hunkins explained. "And I know it's God doing it."
The rocker on her front porch at her home in Pulaski is her favorite place to pray during the warmer months; otherwise she's on the couch in the quiet of the mornings.
She has a special relationship with St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the Little Flower, and is remembered by her former students for teaching them St. Thérèse's "Novena Rose Prayer," which she proceeded to recite from heart:
O Little Thérèse of the Child Jesus
Please pick for me a rose
from the heavenly garden
and send it to me
as a message of love.
O Little Flower of Jesus,
ask God to grant the favors
I now place with confidence
in your hands
(mention special prayer request here)
St. Thérèse, help me to always believe
as you did, in God's great love for me,
so that I may imitate your "Little Way" each day. Amen.
Teaching in the RCIA is new to her, though, and she is grateful for all the assistance she's received.
With the help of Ann Vorpahl and Connie DeMeuse from the staff of St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, Hunkins cobbled together learning materials and visuals that meet the learning and language-skill levels of 15-year-old Alexandrind Snyder from Haiti and 26-year-old Chai Yang, a Hmong-American, as they prepare to be baptized at the Easter Vigil at St. John's.
"Fr. Christopher Clusman, a deaf priest from Milwaukee, helped me guide the girls through reconciliation," Hunkins said, "and we walked all over the sanctuary before Mass one day to help them understand what goes on around the altar."
The deaf community at St. John the Evangelist has been supportive as well.
"It's our responsibility to teach these girls, not just mine," Hunkins said. "We're not just giving them something, we are experiencing it with them."
She encourages people to approach and talk with the deaf and hard-of-hearing, the preferred terms. Hearing impaired, she said, implies a disability.
"The deaf are just like any of us, they just can't hear," Hunkins said. "They have the same feelings, the same nervousness meeting new people. Most are very patient; they are so excited you're even trying to converse with them."
As she has walked the RCIA journey with Snyder and Yang, Hunkins feels "both guilty and humbled," she said.
"I get so much from it. I don't think I do anything special. The girls I'm teaching, their child-like faith is such an example," she said. "They know God loves us — it's total faith. We can all learn from that."

The California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) has recently made available the materials developed in support of the Duncan Hunter CWA Citizen Suit Reform legislation (H.R. 3353), including:
- a template/model letter to use in support of the bill (doc)
- a short fact sheet that answers key questions about the legislation (pdf) (below).
Why is Clean Water Act (CWA) citizen suit reform necessary?
CWA citizen suits serve an important purpose in protection of the environment, but actions based on sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) and other alleged violations at local wastewater agencies often result in local agencies paying millions of dollars in settlements and legal fees that do not yield a corresponding environmental benefit.
Several factors make CWA citizen suits brought against wastewater agencies attractive to litigants. For example, every SSO that reaches waters is a violation of the CWA. SSOs can be reduced, but not completely prevented, and therefore all sewer systems inherently have exposure to citizen suits. In addition, the availability of substantial and disproportionate attorneys' fees is a significant motivation for third party plaintiffs. There is very little downside to pursuing litigation for a citizen plaintiff.
What does this legislation do?
H.R. 3353 is a reasonable and measured approach to CWA citizen suit reform designed to prevent continued misuse of an important environmental law. Specifically the bill:
- Ensures attorneys' fees awards are appropriate to local markets and commensurate with the proportion of successful claims in each case;
- Clarifies the definition of "diligent prosecution" of alleged violations, thereby allowing state and federal authorities to exercise their primacy in enforcement and preventing unnecessary citizen suit intervention when issues are already being actively resolved;
- Provides for normally accepted criminal and standard defenses to the Clean Water Act, similar to those provided in other federal environmental statutes.
These are tailored amendments that maintain the vitality of the CWA citizen suit provision as it was originally intended while preventing abuses that are costing local agencies millions of dollars in settlements and legal fees.
How can my agency support this bill?
CASA has prepared a model letter for your agency to send to your Congressional representative, supporting the measure and urging them become co-sponsors of H.R. 3353.
Who can I contact for more information?
For additional questions regarding citizen suit reform and H.R. 3353, contact CASA's federal advocate, Eric Sapirstein, at (202) 466-3755 or CASA's Director of Government Affairs, Adam Link, at (916) 446-0388.

As soon as I heard the news about the shooting of an Arizona Congresswoman and many other innocent bystanders, I immediately thought about the editorial I wrote back in November, "Doom and Gloom on Conservative Talk Radio." It was only a matter of time before the enormous amount of negative political nonsense spewing from the mouths of certain people on the radio caught the attention of some nut job.
Maybe this tragedy will put a halt to the negativity that has been floating around Washington, ironically since the election of 2008. I wonder, will this shooting force politicians to come together just like the weeks and months following 9-11? Will they put on the fake face and act as if they really care about each other, to only start throwing blows again as soon as election season rolls around?
Some are going to say that the shooter is a lone wolf, an isolated individual, or claim that he had a psychological or mental problem (which is obvious if he would just start shooting at innocent people for no reason). Sadly, there are many other people out there just like him sitting around listening to talk radio all day and taking the figurative things they hear literally.
I hope that one of these idiots doesn't listen to Sean Hannity open his radio show on a daily basis with, "Stop the Obama, Pelosi, Reid Express," and take it upon themselves to make his dumb catch phrase a reality.
I hope they haven't heard the Republican Senate Leader say, "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president," and take it upon themselves to try and take the President out.
It's all political fun and games until somebody gets hurt, or killed in this case. It bothers me to no end that these conservative radio hosts purposely sit behind their microphones on a daily basis and stir up fear, incite hate for their fellow countrymen, and personally attack people that happen to disagree with their political opinions.
Will the tone and aggressiveness of radio talk show guy ease back a little bit because they can see that their words have a negative effect on weak minded people? Probably not. They will find a way to somehow blame the left, the President, or claim politics had nothing to do with this guy to going to a public place and shooting innocent people.
Sarah Palin and her little tea bagger buddies better be careful when they walk around with their anti-government signs and guns talking about the Constitution and taking the country back. I still haven't figured out what they are trying to take back and who they are trying to take it back from.
Ironically, I didn't hear any of this "take the country back" garbage when the majority of the "American People" voted for a person that didn't get elected in the 2000 Presidential election, which still bothers me to this day.
I'm still trying to figure out why the Electoral College exists and why the majority vote doesn't determine presidential elections in this country, but I'll save that for another time. If somebody can help me out, please do so.
Neither the left nor the right is going to take ownership of this idiot and both sides will probably point the finger at the other. I am ashamed that my voter registration card lists me as a Democrat, (which I will be changing as soon as I can) and I definitely won't be registering as a republican either because they definitely aren't concerned about me or anybody that looks like me.
To use the most overused word of the political season, I encourage every one of you to repudiate both parties. Neither side has done much to fix the issues that normal people like you and I face on a daily basis.
I am simply one of those "American People" politicians keep referring to when they talk about the things we want, or should I say the things they want to do in our names that we are totally against.
If I were President Obama, or one of the House Democrats on Sarah Palin's famous crosshairs poster, which was ironically taken off of her political action committee website, I would have my head on a swivel. They should be on the lookout for another one of these confused individuals sitting around listening to the doom and gloom on talk radio. You can find the poster here at http://tpmlivewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/images/palin-crosshairs.jpg
Remember what I said about sizing everybody up when I'm out in public? This shooting might help some people understand why I will continue to walk around with this attitude. For those people who still only want to stereotype people of Arabic decent as terrorists, this guy doesn't look like a Muslim or follower of Islam to me. I said terrorist because anybody that does harm to an elected official or any American is a terrorist to me.My heart goes out to the victims and family members that were affected by the shootings. I truly hope that this incident brings people from all sides together, because the negativity surrounding politics has really gotten out of control.

I am experimenting with LDAP integration, which I managed to make it work in Hue.
Now, I switched the 'backend' property back to 'desktop.auth.backend.AllowFirstUserDjango.Backend', restarted Hue and I can login with the local user as before LDAP.
However, on the User Admin page I still see "Add/Sync LDAP user" and not the local "Add user".
Which other option prevents the local functionality from showing up?
Thank you,
I think I opened a Jira on this a while back but forgot to follow up on it.
Try removing the LDAP server hostname from your Hue configuration. I think if it has a value that tells Hue you plan on using LDAP to sync users. The Jira I opened requests that both buttons be present (so you can add local but still sync from LDAP if desired).
Since the feature to import users is separate from the method of authentication, changing the auth method didn't impact the sync config.
02-08-2019 08:01 AM - edited 02-08-2019 08:02 AM
Yeap! Removing the URL auto-removed all the accompanied LDAP parameters (so I have to re-write them later to enable LDAP, which I tried to avoid)
Thank you,
02-08-2019 08:06 AM - edited 02-08-2019 08:09 AM
... but the "Password" fields are now disabled:
I edited the HTML page and removed "readonly=true", and I managed to create the user.

You are right. I had forgot a dual backend configuration in hue_safety_valve.ini.

Cycnos | Volume 12 n°2 NABOKOV : At the Crossroads of Modernism and Postmodernism -
Simon Karlinsky :
Nabokov and Some Poets of Russian Modernism
Texte intégral
1In the first of two imaginary conversations that the protagonist of Nabokov's novel Dar (The Gift) has with the poet Koncheyev, the great flowering of Russian poetry at the turn of the century, sometimes called the Silver Age, is evoked and illustrated by fragments from poems by Konstantin Balmont and Aleksandr Blok1. The protagonist mentions that in his early youth he "accepted ecstatically, gratefully, completely, without critical carpings, all the five poets whose names began with 'B' — five senses of the new Russian poetry."2
2To be sure, Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev in The Gift is not the author's self-portrait, as Nabokov pointed out in the foreword to the English translation. But Fyodor's literary beginnings and preferences do coincide with Nabokov's, as can be seen from the author's various autobiographies3. Anyone familiar with Russian poetry of the Symbolist and post-Symbolist periods, can identify with great ease four of those five poets, whose names begin with B: Valery Briusov and Konstantin Balmont of the senior generation of Symbolists (poets first published in the early 1890s) and Aleksandr Blok and Andrei Bely among the junior Symbolists (those who made their literary debuts in the first decade of the 20th century). There is no other modernist poet, among those who were active between 1890 and the 1920s, whose name begins with B and who could be placed on the same level with these four.
3But if one thinks about this question for a number of years and takes into consideration Nabokov's often unpredictable and inexplicable literary tastes and preferences, one will come to see that the fifth poet must have been Ivan Bunin (1870-1953). Bunin was Russia's first Nobel Prize winner for literature and a writer noted for his lush if traditional prose, the prose which Anton Chekhov has compared to bouillon concentrate and Nabokov has characterized as "brocaded" and masterfully parodied in the Russian version of his autobiography4.
4Famed for his fiction, Bunin was little-known as a poet. There are, however, numerous testimonies on record to Nabokov's exceptionally high opinion of Bunin's poetry. In 1929, Nabokov published a review of Bunin's volume Selected Poems5 where he proclaimed the entire poetry of Russian Modernism obsolete and forgotten and called Bunin the most important Russian poet since the death of Fyodor Tiutchev in 1873, thus immolating on Bunin's altar such magnificent 20th century poets as Aleksandr Blok, Osip Mandelstam and Vladislav Khodasevich, all of whom Nabokov is known to have admired. No other Russian poet or critic one can think of ever shared with Nabokov this excessive valuation of Bunin's poetry.
5In a private conversation, I heard the late Véra Nabokov state that her husband was a significant poet of the Bunin school. Nabokov himself wrote in all three versions of his autobiography that he prefers Bunin's poetry to his prose, a position as strange as voicing a preference for Nabokov's own verse over his novels. The existence of such a thing as a "Bunin school of poetry" is also something that would puzzle literary historians. There have been major 20th century Russian poets who have deliberately used the verbal guise of 19th century poetry, Osip Mandelstam or Vladislav Khodasevich with his utilization of the language and style of Pushkin and, to a greater degree, of Evgeny Baratynsky in order to express his own, acutely modernistic sensiblity.
6But Ivan Bunin as a poet, both in his themes and his language, is a wholly 19th century figure, untouched by the revolution effected in the 1890s by the Symbolists in the metric, thematic and stylistic aspects of Russian poetry. There was no way for Nabokov or anyone else to follow him as a poet, except through imitating the standard verse of the pre-Symbolist age.
7We know that Nabokov disliked the idea of literary schools, groups and influences, being always interested in a writer's individual achievement. But in his outline for a course on Russian poetry during the period 1875-1925, cited by Brian Boyd from the notes of my Berkeley colleague, Richard Buxbaum6 (who was a student in that course), we find three schemes of literary filiation and succession, unique in Nabokov. The schemes are: (1) Tiutchev-Fet-Blok; (2) Benediktov-Bely-Pasternak; (3) (Pushkin)-Bunin-Khodasevich.
8The first triad is easy to interpret: it represents Russian Symbolism and its nineteenth-century precursors. Mid-century poets Fyodor Tiutchev and Afanasy Fet adumbrated the use of accentual verse and metaphysical themes developed and perfected by Symbolists such as Aleksandr Blok. The second triad is also easily decipherable: it is a genealogy of the word-conscious, verbally innovative poetry of Russian Futurism, but with a built-in malicious trapdoor. The poet Vladimir Benediktov (1807-1873) achieved a resonant success with his first collection, published in 1835. His poetry amazed his contemporaries with its exacerbated metaphorism, carried at times to a reductio ad absurdum. For a few years, contemporaries considered Benediktov a serious rival to Pushkin. Then, an annihilating review by the radical utilitarian critic Vissarion Belinsky dealt Benediktov's reputation an irreparable blow (as the novelist Ivan Turgenev remembered, all of Russia saw Benediktov as a major poet on the eve of Belinsky's review and as a nonentity on the day after it).
9Now, Nabokov devoted the whole of Chapter Four and a good portion of Chapter Three of The Gift to exposing the inadequacies of the critical school engendered by Belinsky, the school of which the protagonist of Chapter Four, Nikolai Chernyshevsky, was a prominent exponent. The first edition of the complete Russian text of The Gift is prefaced by a note about the deletion of Chapter Four and "one epithet" during the original publication of the novel in the journal Contemporary Annals.7 The deleted and reinstated epithet in Chapter Three was the qualification of Belinsky as "an appealing ignoramus" (simpatichnyi neuch).8
10And yet Nabokov went on accepting till the end of his days certain literary judgements that descended from the Belinsky-Chernyshevsky school. They formed the basis of his views on French 17th and 18th century neoclassicism (cf. his scorn for Racine and Molière), on much of 18th century Russian literature and on early 19th century Russian writers of verse comedies. This is also whence the idea of Benediktov's poetry as deserving nothing but contempt comes. In his 1970 epigram on Boris Pasternak, Nabokov tried to destroy him by stressing the affinity of his poetry to that of Benediktov.9 But there has been a partial rehabilitation of Benediktov by students of Russian Futurist poetry who can now see in his work an anticipation of the favorite trope of the Futurists, the "developed (or, more precisely, 'unfurled') metaphor" (razvernutaia metafora) as exemplified by Mayakovsky's extended comparison of a heart aflame with love to a burning house in his long poem The Cloud in Trousers or Pasternak's 1915 poem Improvisation (Improvizatsiia), entirely built on the metaphor of playing the piano as birds feeding their clamorous nestlings.10
11So while Nabokov was entirely right about the affinity of Pasternak (and other Russian Futurists) to Benediktov, this juxtaposition is no longer as odious as he might have thought. The middle link of the genealogy-of-Futurism triad, Andrei Bely, is also absolutely on target. Despite his usual classification as a second-generation Symbolist, the idea that Bely the poet is the progenitor of Russian Futurist poetry has been postulated by both D.S. Mirsky and Vladimir Markov.11 Nabokov's own involvement with Bely was in the latter's capacity as novelist and theoretician of versification rather than poet.12 But Nabokov must have known Bely's poetry well enough to have placed it in the middle of the trajectory from Benediktov to Pasternak, injurious as he thought the first link of the triad must have been for the second and third.
12It is the last of Nabokov's three filiation schemes (Pushkin)-Bunin-Khodasevich, that is hard to take. On the one hand it implies that Pushkin had no poetic progeny until Bunin and on the other it makes Vladislav Khodasevich, who was at one time a friend and disciple of Valery Briusov and an associate of Andrei Bely and Nikolai Gumilëv, into a literary descendant of Ivan Bunin — an impossibility in terms of both chronology and poetics.13 In his obituary of Khodasevich, Nabokov proposed a much more plausible genealogy: "This poet, the greatest Russian poet of our time, Pushkin's literary descendant in Tiutchev's line of succession […]."14 The only imaginable way of getting the names of Pushkin, Bunin and Khodasevich into a meaningful sequence is by adding Vladimir Nabokov, the poet, as the descendant of the other three.
13"I note incidentally that professors of literature still assign these two poets [i.e., Blok and Mandelstam] in different schools. There is only one school: that of talent," Nabokov told Herbert Gold in an interview in 1966.15 Nabokov's dislike for groupings and literary schools led him, as we can see here, to a negation of chronology and of the poets' voluntary choice of creative philosophies. Yet he repeatedly expressed his admiration for the new dimensions in themes and versification introduced into Russian poetry by the early Symbolists. He gave Briusov and Balmont credit for their pioneering, even if he wrote of their poetry with contempt.16
14He gave no credit at all to the most profound and influential of the early Symbolists, Zinaida Gippius, the poet who inaugurated, on a regular basis, accentual verse, assonance rhymes and the mystical outlook that define the whole of Russian Symbolist poetry. With a reckless audacity worthy of Leo Tolstoy's judgement that Shakespeare, Beethoven and Baudelaire were inept artists, Nabokov claimed that Zinaida Gippius was surpassed in talent by her cousin, Nabokov's one-time teacher of literature, Vladimir Gippius.17 (Elsewhere, Nabokov described Vladimir Gippius, who made his literary debut in 1893, as "a wonderful poet of the Bely school"18).
15The animosity between Nabokov and Zinaida Gippius was reciprocal. She initiated it by requesting Nabokov's father after the publication of his son's first collection of juvenile poetry in 1916: "Please tell your son that he will never be a writer."19 During their joint years of emigration, Gippius rejected Nabokov's novels on the same grounds she had for rejecting Anton Chekhov's fiction earlier: absence of mysticism and of Dostoevskian roots. The novelist and critic Dmitry Merezhkovsky who was the husband of Zinaida Gippius and whose views never differed from hers, classified Nabokov, together with Flaubert and Mark Aldanov, as a writer whose talent was ersatz: "Sirin, now — here you have a real mimicry of talent. The creature looks just like a twig, is the twig itself, but in fact it isn't. His work may be a very delicate mimicry. And that in itself is a talent."20 About the fourth major figure of early Symbolism, in addition to Briusov, Balmont and Zinaida Gippius, the poet, novelist and playwright Fyodor Sologub, Nabokov had absolutely nothing to say.
16Nabokov's real link with Russian Symbolism came with the so-called second Symbolist generation: Viacheslav Ivanov, Aleksandr Blok and Andrei Bely. Nabokov had no interest in Ivanov but Blok and Bely were admittedly major influences.21 While Nabokov called Ivan Bunin the greatest contemporary poet only once, he bestowed that honor on Blok as well as on Vladisav Khodasevich in his writings and classes on several occasions each. Of the poetic schools (as a retired professor of literature, I do believe that such things exist) that descended from Symbolism while turning away from it, Nabokov had a great affinity with Acmeism and considerable difficulties with the several varieties of Futurism that came into being after 1910.
17The three principal Acmeist poets were Nikolai Gumilëv, Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandelstam. It was Gumilëv who had the greatest impact on Nabokov. As Vladimir Alexandrov pointed out, Nabokov wrote admiring poems about Gumilëv as early as 1923 and as late as 1972.22 Nabokov's high esteem for Mandelstam is also well attested. His attitude toward the poetry of Anna Akhmatova, which he called charming, is a bit problematic in view of his two wicked parodies of it in his novel Pnin.23 But then, Nabokov also parodied the prose of Andrei Bely to which he owed so much, in a passage from The Gift, where he referred to it as "cabbage-flavored hexameters."24
18Particularly fascinating is Nabokov's interrelationship with the three major twentieth century poets who may be fitted into his second filiation scheme for the development of Russian poetry, Benediktov-Bely-Pasternak. These three are Vladimir Mayakovsky, Boris Pasternak and Marina Tsvetaeva. (Tsvetaeva would have bristled at the idea of being included among the Futurists or in any other literary school. But her verbally and metrically innovative mature poetry summarized all that was finest in the literary art of Russian Futurists. She was certainly aware that she was a poet of the same school as Mayakovsky and Pasternak).
19The poetry of these three offers a close parallel to the lexically conscious, syntactically innovative aspects of Nabokov's mature prose, the quality which Western commentators unfamiliar with Russian literature have often attributed to the influence of James Joyce. The term "verbalism," initially launched by another stylistically innovative twentieth-century Russian writer, Aleksei Remizov, is applicable to the verse of these three poets, to Nabokov's and Bely's prose and to Remizov himself.
20Curiously enough, Nabokov wrote parodies in verse on Mayakovsky, Pasternak and Tsvetaeva, though none of these parodies hit its target with such precision as the ones on Akhmatova in Pnin. These parodies were included in the posthumous collection of his Russian poetry, edited by Véra Nabokov (Stikhi, 1979), while the Akhmatova parodies are not to be found in the final section of the book, "Poems from Stories and Novels."
21Of the three, Tsvetaeva was the only one Nabokov ever met personally. In the Russian version of his autobiography, Nabokov recalled how he accompanied Tsvetaeva "on a strange lyrical hike" "in a brisk springtime wind, over some hills of Prague," a stroll to which Brian Boyd assigned the date January 1924.25 Nabokov apparently wrote a detailed account of his conversation with Tsvetaeva on that occasion in a letter to his then fiancée, Véra Slonim. After the publication of my first book on Tsvetaeva in 1966, the Nabokovs informed me of this letter, which was supposedly in their archive in New York, and promised to show me a copy. But in subsequent years that letter proved impossible to locate and was apparently lost.
22Although Nabokov eventually came to admire Tsvetaeva's poetry, going to the extent of calling her "a poet of genius" and translating a stanza from one of her early poems into English,26 he had little use for it during the late 1920s and throughout the 1930s, as his hostile reviews of it show.27 In the late 1930s, both Vladimir and Véra Nabokov took an extremely hostile position vis-à-vis Tsvetaeva because of the pro-Soviet terrorist activities of her husband Sergei Efron. As subsequent revelations showed, the Nabokovs were right in their assumption that Tsvetaeva knew about her husband's and daughter's activities on behalf of the NKVD.28
23It was precisely during the year of the sensational revelations in the Russian émigré and French press about Sergei Efron's terrorist activities that Nabokov produced his parody of Tsvetaeva's style in the form of a brief groveling and worshipful ode to Joseph Stalin.29 As Barry P. Scherr observed, the poem imitates Tsvetaeva's use of "startling enjambement."30 Another trait on which Nabokov zeroed in was Tsvetaeva's sparingly used device of transmitting a word from one line to another and then rhyming the first half of that word. But the cacophonous verbal texture and the absence of any meter are most un-Tsvetaevan, the rhymes are also unlike her and, most untypical of all, is the sentiment of almost hysterical veneration of Stalin ascribed to her. A year before Nabokov's parody, Tsvetaeva wrote to a friend about her fear of returning to the USSR: "[…] I who cannot sign a salutary address to the great Stalin, for it was not I who called him great, and even if he is great, it is not my kind of greatness, and perhaps the most important thing — I hate every triumphant, bureaucratized church."31
24Nabokov's attitude to Vladimir Mayakovsky, with whom he happened to share both the first name and the patronymic, is much simpler to determine. Though he included Mayakovsky, along with Blok and Khodasevich, in a course on Russian Modernism taught at Harvard in 1952,32 Nabokov identified this poet in both the Russian and the bilingual editions of his poetry, in notes to the poem "O praviteliakh" ("On Rulers"), as "a minor Soviet poet, endowed with a certain brilliance and bite, but fatally corrupted by the regime he so faithfully served."33
25In the poem "On Rulers," Mayakovsky is parodied only in the lines devoted to him (lines 52-60), especially in the suggestion that he would have rhymed the name Churchill with the Russian word "pereperCHIL," overpeppered. Mayakovsky who knew no other languages but Russian and Georgian (which he learned as a child) was indeed notorious for his wrong stress of foreign names and words, indicating through his rhyming that he stressed both the first and the last names of the American President Woodrow Wilson on their last syllables. Otherwise, this poem does not break its lines into Mayakovskian "stepladder" (lesenka) pattern, nor does it use Mayakovsky-style rhymes, which Nabokov did in other poems dating from the same period, such as "Slava" ("Fame").
26Despite all this, Nabokov could quote some of Mayakovsky's poetry when the occasion arose. In a new, much-expanded edition of The Nabokov-Wilson Letters, which is about to appear in German translation, appended to a previously unpublished letter from Edmund Wilson of December 1963 is a press clipping about Wilson's difficulties with the Internal Revenue Service. Nabokov inscribed on the clipping a two-line citation from Mayakovsky's poem "Conversation with a Tax Inspector About Poetry" (1926). Translated into English the citation reads: "Citizen tax inspector, /my word of honor, /Words cost a poet a pretty penny." (Grazhdanin fininspektor, /chestnoe slovo, /poètu v kopeechku vletaiut slova34).
27If Nabokov began by disliking Tsvetaeva's poetry and then came to admire it, and held a generally negative view of Mayakovsky's, his views on the poetry of Boris Pasternak had their ups and downs over the years. The interrelationship of Nabokov with Pasternak has been studied by D. Barton Johnson and, in very great detail, by Robert P. Hughes,35 it is on their research that the following remarks are based. Nabokov's earliest mention of Pasternak's poetry in a 1927 review of another, now forgotten poet is highly negative. Pasternak's muse, says Nabokov, is popeyed and suffers from a goiter; Pasternak knows Russian poorly and expresses his ideas ineptly; and he brings to mind the poetry of Vladimir Benediktov. Forty-three years later in the already mentioned epigram, Pasternak was again likened to the unfortunate Benediktov.
28But in the intervening period Nabokov occasionally wrote of Pasternak's verse with enthusiasm, calling it "wonderful stuff" in a letter to Edmund Wilson and applauding Pasternak's Nobel Prize on the basis of his poetry. Much has been written about Nabokov's rejection of Pasternak's novel Doctor Zhivago, which Nabokov was to mock and parody in both Pale Fire and Ada.36
29Nabokov's recoil from Zhivago occurred, interestingly enough, on the same grounds as Igor Stravinsky's, who wrote to a friend: "I read Dr. Zhivago in Russian and, with sadness, I confess my disappointment. Of course this is real peredvizhnichestvo. How strange to read such a novel in the age of James Joyce."37 (Peredvizhnichestvo refers to a group of primitively realistic, late 19th-century Russian painters, who proclaimed that the socially relevant aspect of a painting was more important than any pictorial values.)
30As Robert P. Hughes pointed out, the 1970 Pasternak epigram follows Pasternak's own poetic manner quite faithfully.38 It is thus not only an epigram, but also a successful parody. Nabokov's other poetic response to Boris Pasternak is his reply in verse to the latter's 1959 poem "The Nobel Prize." It was written in 1959, at the time when Lolita and Doctor Zhivago kept vying for first place on the American list of best-sellers, but published only in 1961, after Pasternak's death. Read by many as not only a parody but also a mockery of Pasternak's suffering, Nabokov's poem has been ably defended by D. Barton Johnson as "a tribute to Pasternak, the poet."39
31Vladimir Nabokov has written a number of fine and memorable poems in Russian and in English. Yet, of the fifteen major Russian poets, his senior contemporaries, discussed in this paper in relationship to him, he can be said to be comparable in poetic talent and achievement to only two: Ivan Bunin and Vladimir Gippius. Nabokov wrote poetry all his life. Does this mean that Joseph Brodsky had a valid point when he wrote that Nabokov was one of those writers "who to the end of their days strive to convince themselves and their associates that they are still and all, if not primarily, poets?"40 No, not really, because Nabokov's novels, stories and memoirs contain enough genuine poetry to make him an equal of any poet of this century.
Notes de bas de page numériques
A review of the same collection of Bunin's poetry by Vladislav Khodasevich, while favorable, does not go to the laudatory extremes of Nabokov's review. Khodasevich offers a detailed explanation for the incompatibility between Bunin's poetry and that of his Symbolist contemporaries. See Vladislav Khodasevich, "O poezii Bunina." Vozrozhdenie, n° 1535 (Paris, August 15, 1929).

Dr. Jacob completed his Ph.D. in 2005 in the Departments of History and Middle East and Islamic Studies at New York University. After finishing a joint B.S./M.A. program in Arab Studies with a concentration in history at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service in 1995, he spent two years travelling, teaching English, and studying in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, and Egypt. The research for his doctoral dissertation explored the intersections of gender, empire, and modernity in the Egyptian context. A revision of the dissertation resulted in his first book Working Out Egypt: Effendi Masculinity and Subject Formation in Colonial Modernity, 1870-1940 (Duke University Press; American University in Cairo Press, 2011). He is currently engaged in a new multi-sited research project with two major components both focused on the problem of sovereignty. The first traces the life and career of an itinerant Muslim preacher and descendant of the Prophet across the Indian Ocean through India, Arabia, and the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century. This singular lens affords an incredible view onto the transformations in the nature of sovereignty engendered by the expanding governmental powers of empire-states, the British and Ottoman in this case, and the implications thereof for multiple dimensions of life. The second component examines the transformation and criminalization of the traditional urban strongman, al-futuwwa, during the expansion of a semi-colonial, semi-national state in Egypt during the first half of the twentieth century. The research also considers the postcolonial afterlives of these figures.
