A new thriller from "the greatest living writer of espionage fiction"
-- Houston Chronicle
Autumn 1937: War is coming to Europe. French and German intelligence operatives are locked in a life-and-death struggle on the espionage battlefield. At the French embassy, the new military attaché, Colonel Jean-François Mercier, a decorated hero of the 1914 war, is drawn into a world of abduction, betrayal, and intrigue in the diplomatic salons and back alleys of Warsaw. At the same time, the handsome aristocrat finds himself in a passionate love affair with a Parisian woman of Polish heritage, a lawyer for the League of Nations.
Colonel Mercier must work in the shadows, amid an extraordinary cast of venal and dangerous characters -- Colonel Anton Vyborg of Polish military intelligence; the mysterious and sophisticated Dr. Lapp, senior German Abwehr officer in Warsaw; Malka and Viktor Rozen, at work for the Russian secret service; and Mercier's brutal and vindictive opponent, Major August Voss of SS counterintelligence. And there are many more, some known to Mercier as spies, some never to be revealed.
The Spies of Warsaw is Furst's finest novel to date -- exciting, atmospheric, erotic, and impossible to put down.

The Washington Post
Furst, master of the historical spy novel, offers this meticulously detailed and sprawling epic set at the onset of WWII. Drenched in romance and espionage and given to thrilling plot twists, the novel is beautifully realized by Daniel Gerroll, whose mastery of variously accented English dialects lends added authenticity to Furst's tale. Providing gritty and realistic German, French, and even Russian accents, Englishman Gerroll displays a natural stage presence and true performance ability. There is a subtle theatrical aspect at play here as well, creating a mysterious and enchanting atmosphere for the audience. A Random hardcover (Reviews, Apr. 14).

"Teeming with intrigue . . . Furst's novels of World War II Europe are not just atmospheric. They're transporting."—Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Wildly atmospheric . . . Furst's novels combines the research habits of a top-shelf historical novelist with a taste for psychic warfare that recalls the work of British writers like W. Somerset Maugham . . . , Anthony Powell . . . , and Evelyn Waugh."—Men's Vogue
"This engaging historical fiction should be read by anyone who loves a compelling story well told."—Houston Chronicle
"A rare thing: an engrossing, deeply emotional, thinking person's love story."— San Francisco Chronicle
Perennial best seller Furst writes some of the best historical fiction now being published, adding a touch of romance to the seedy world of espionage. This title is a good place for new readers to begin; it concerns a French military attaché assigned to glean information about the rising Nazi threat in Warsaw. (LJ 4/1/08)

The Spies of Warsaw
A Novel
By Alan Furst Random House
Copyright © 2008 Alan Furst

In the dying light of an autumn day in 1937, a certain Herr Edvard Uhl, a secret agent, descended from a first-class railway carriage in the city of Warsaw. Above the city, the sky was at war; the last of the sun struck blood-red embers off massed black cloud, while the clear horizon to the west was the color of blue ice. Herr Uhl suppressed a shiver; the sharp air of the evening, he told himself. But this was Poland, the border of the Russian steppe, and what had reached him was well beyond the chill of an October twilight.
A taxi waited on Jerozolimskie street, in front of the station. The driver, an old man with a seamed face, sat patiently, knotted hands at rest on the steering wheel. "Hotel Europejski," Uhl told the driver. He wanted to add, and be quick about it, but the words would have been in German, and it was not so good to speak German in this city. Germany had absorbed the western part of Poland in 1795-Russia ruled the east, Austria-Hungary the southwest corner-for a hundred and twenty-three years, a period the Poles called "the Partition," a time of national conspiracy and defeated insurrection, leaving ample bad blood on all sides. With the rebirth of Poland in 1918, the new borders left a million Germans in Poland and two million Poles in Germany, which guaranteed that the badblood would stay bad. So, for a German visiting Warsaw, a current of silent hostility, closed faces, small slights: we don't want you here.
Nonetheless, Edvard Uhl had looked forward to this trip for weeks. In his late forties, he combed what remained of his hair in strands across his scalp and cultivated a heavy dark mustache, meant to deflect attention from a prominent bulbous nose, the bulb divided at the tip. A feature one saw in Poland, often enough. So, an ordinary- looking man, who led a rather ordinary life, a more-than-decent life, in the small city of Breslau: a wife and three children, a good job- as a senior engineer at an ironworks and foundry, a subcontractor to the giant Rheinmetall firm in Düsseldorf-a few friends, memberships in a church and a singing society. Oh, maybe the political situation- that wretched Hitler and his wretched Nazis strutting about-could have been better, but one abided, lived quietly, kept one's opinions to oneself; it wasn't so difficult. And the paycheck came every week. What more could a man want?
Instinctively, his hand made sure of the leather satchel on the seat by his side. A tiny stab of regret touched his heart. Foolish, Edvard, truly it is. For the satchel, a gift from his first contact at the French embassy in Warsaw, had a false bottom, beneath which lay a sheaf of engineering diagrams. Well, he thought, one did what one had to do, so life went. No, one did what one had to do in order to do what one wanted to do-so life really went. He wasn't supposed to be in Warsaw; he was supposed, by his family and his employer, to be in Gleiwitz-just on the German side of the frontier dividing German Lower Silesia from Polish Upper Silesia-where his firm employed a large metal shop for the work that exceeded their capacity in Breslau. With the Reich rearming, they could not keep up with the orders that flowed from the Wehrmacht. The Gleiwitz works functioned well enough, but that wasn't what Uhl told his bosses. "A bunch of lazy idiots down there," he said, with a grim shake of the head, and found it necessary to take the train down to Gleiwitz once a month to straighten things out.
And he did go to Gleiwitz-that pest from Breslau, back again!-but he didn't stay there. When he was done bothering the local management he took the train up to Warsaw where, in a manner of speaking, one very particular thing got straightened out. For Uhl, a blissful night of lovemaking, followed by a brief meeting at dawn, a secret meeting, then back to Breslau, back to Frau Uhl and his more-than-decent life. Refreshed. Reborn. Too much, that word? No. Just right.
Uhl glanced at his watch. Drive faster, you peasant! This is an automobile, not a plow. The taxi crawled along Nowy Swiat, the grand avenue of Warsaw, deserted at this hour-the Poles went home for dinner at four. As the taxi passed a church, the driver slowed for a moment, then lifted his cap. It was not especially reverent, Uhl thought, simply something the man did every time he passed a church.
At last, the imposing Hotel Europejski, with its giant of a doorman in visored cap and uniform worthy of a Napoleonic marshal. Uhl handed the driver his fare-he kept a reserve of Polish zloty in his desk at the office-and added a small, proper gratuity, then said "Dankeschön." It didn't matter now, he was where he wanted to be. In the room, he hung up his suit, shirt, and tie, laid out fresh socks and underwear on the bed, and went into the bathroom to have a thorough wash. He had just enough time; the Countess Sczelenska would arrive in thirty minutes. Or, rather, that was the time set for the rendezvous; she would of course be late, would make him wait for her, let him think, let him anticipate, let him steam.
And was she a countess? A real Polish countess? Probably not, he thought. But so she called herself, and she was, to him, like a countess: imperious, haughty, and demanding. Oh how this provoked him, as the evening lengthened and they drank champagne, as her mood slid, subtly, from courteous disdain to sly submission, then on to breathless urgency. It was the same always, their private melodrama, with an ending that never changed. Uhl the stallion-despite the image in the mirrored armoire, a middle-aged gentleman with thin legs and potbelly and pale chest home to a few wisps of hair-demonstrably excited as he knelt on the hotel carpet, while the countess, looking down at him over her shoulder, eyebrows raised in mock surprise, deigned to let him roll her silk underpants down her great, saucy, fat bottom. Noblesse oblige. You may have your little pleasure, she seemed to say, if you are so inspired by what the noble Sczelenska bloodline has wrought. Uhl would embrace her middle and honor the noble heritage with tender kisses. In time very effective, such honor, and she would raise him up, eager for what came next.
He'd met her a year and a half earlier, in Breslau, at a Weinstube where the office employees of the foundry would stop for a little something after work. The Weinstube had a small terrace in back, three tables and a vine, and there she sat, alone at one of the tables on the deserted terrace: morose and preoccupied. He'd sat at the next table, found her attractive-not young, not old, on the buxom side, with brassy hair pinned up high and an appealing face-and said good evening. And why so glum, on such a pleasant night?
She'd come down from Warsaw, she explained, to see her sister, a family crisis, a catastrophe. The family had owned, for several generations, a small but profitable lumber mill in the forest along the eastern border. But they had suffered financial reverses, and then the storage sheds had been burned down by a Ukrainian nationalist gang, and they'd had to borrow money from a Jewish speculator. But the problems wouldn't stop, they could not repay the loans, and now that dreadful man had gone to court and taken the mill. Just like them, wasn't it.
After a few minutes, Uhl moved to her table. Well, that was life for you, he'd said. Fate turned evil, often for those who least deserved it. But, don't feel so bad, luck had gone wrong, but it could go right, it always did, given time. Ah but he was sympathique, she'd said, an aristocratic reflex to use the French word in the midst of her fluent German. They went on for a while, back and forth. Perhaps some day, she'd said, if he should find himself in Warsaw, he might telephone; there was the loveliest café near her apartment. Perhaps he would, yes, business took him to Warsaw now and again; he guessed he might be there soon. Now, would she permit him to order another glass of wine? Later, she took his hand beneath the table and he was, by the time they parted, on fire.
Ten days later, from a public telephone at the Breslau railway station, he'd called her. He planned to be in Warsaw next week, at the Europejski, would she care to join him for dinner? Why yes, yes she would. Her tone of voice, on the other end of the line, told him all he needed to know, and by the following Wednesday-those idiots in Gleiwitz had done it again!-he was on his way to Warsaw. At dinner, champagne and langoustines, he suggested that they go on to a nightclub after dessert, but first he wanted to visit the room, to change his tie.
And so, after the cream cake, up they went.
For two subsequent, monthly, visits, all was paradise, but, it turned out, she was the unluckiest of countesses. In his room at the hotel, brassy hair tumbled on the pillow, she told him of her latest misfortune. Now it was her landlord, a hulking beast who leered at her, made chk-chk noises with his mouth when she climbed the stairs, who'd told her that she had to leave, his latest girlfriend to be installed in her place. Unless . . . Her misty eyes told him the rest.
Never! Where Uhl had just been, this swine would not go! He stroked her shoulder, damp from recent exertions, and said, "Now, now, my dearest, calm yourself." She would just have to find another apartment. Well, in fact she'd already done that, found one even nicer than the one she had now, and very private, owned by a man in Cracow, so nobody would be watching her if, for example, her sweet Edvard wanted to come for a visit. But the rent was two hundred zloty more than she paid now. And she didn't have it.
A hundred reichsmark, he thought. "Perhaps I can help," he said. And he could, but not for long. Two months, maybe three-beyond that, there really weren't any corners he could cut. He tried to save a little, but almost all of his salary went to support his family. Still, he couldn't get the "hulking beast" out of his mind. Chk-chk.
The blow fell a month later, the man in Cracow had to raise the rent. What would she do? What was she to do? She would have to stay with relatives or be out in the street. Now Uhl had no answers. But the countess did. She had a cousin who was seeing a Frenchman, an army officer who worked at the French embassy, a cheerful, generous fellow who, she said, sometimes hired "industrial experts." Was her sweet Edvard not an engineer? Perhaps he ought to meet this man and see what he had to offer. Otherwise, the only hope for the poor countess was to go and stay with her aunt.
And where was the aunt?
Now Uhl wasn't stupid. Or, as he put it to himself, not that stupid. He had a strong suspicion about what was going on. But-and here he surprised himself-he didn't care. The fish saw the worm and wondered if maybe there might just be a hook in there, but, what a delicious worm! Look at it, the most succulent and tasty worm he'd ever seen; never would there be such a worm again, not in this ocean. So . . .
He first telephoned-to, apparently, a private apartment, because a maid answered in Polish, then switched to German. And, twenty minutes later, Uhl called again and a meeting was arranged. In an hour. At a bar in the Praga district, the workers' quarter across the Vistula from the elegant part of Warsaw. And the Frenchman was, as promised, as cheerful as could be. Likely Alsatian, from the way he spoke German, he was short and tubby, with a soft face that glowed with self-esteem and a certain tilt to the chin and tension in the upper lip that suggested an imminent sneer, while a dapper little mustache did nothing to soften the effect. He was, of course, not in uniform, but wore an expensive sweater and a blue blazer with brass buttons down the front.
"Henri," he called himself and, yes, he did sometimes employ "industrial experts." His job called for him to stay abreast of developments in particular areas of German industry, and he would pay well for drawings or schematics, any specifications relating to, say, armament or armour. How well? Oh, perhaps five hundred reichsmark a month, for the right papers. Or, if Uhl preferred, a thousand zloty, or two hundred American dollars-some of his experts liked having dollars. The money to be paid in cash or deposited in any bank account, in any name, that Uhl might suggest.
The word spy was never used, and Henri was very casual about the whole business. Very common, such transactions, his German counterparts did the same thing; everybody wanted to know what was what, on the other side of the border. And, he should add, nobody got caught, as long as they were discreet. What was done privately stayed private. These days, he said, in such chaotic times, smart people understood that their first loyalty was to themselves and their families. The world of governments and shifty diplomats could go to hell, if it wished, but Uhl was obviously a man who was shrewd enough to take care of his own future. And, if he ever found the arrangement uncomfortable, well, that was that. So, think it over, there's no hurry, get back in touch, or just forget you ever met me.
And the countess? Was she, perhaps, also an, umm, "expert"?
From Henri, a sophisticated laugh. "My dear fellow! Please! That sort of thing, well, maybe in the movies."
So, at least the worm wasn't in on it.
Back at the Europejski-a visit to the new apartment lay still in the future-the countess exceeded herself. Led him to a delight or two that Uhl knew about but had never experienced; her turn to kneel on the carpet. Rapture. Another glass of champagne and further novelty. In time he fell back on the pillow and gazed up at the ceiling, elated and sore. And brave as a lion. He was a shrewd fellow-a single exchange with Henri, and that thousand zloty would see the countess through her difficulties for the next few months. But life never went quite as planned, did it, because Henri, not nearly so cheerful as the first time they'd met, insisted, really did insist, that the arrangement continue.
And then, in August, instead of Henri, a tall Frenchman called André, quiet and reserved, and much less pleased with himself, and the work he did, than Henri. Wounded, Uhl guessed, in the Great War, he leaned on a fine ebony stick, with a silver wolf's head for a grip.

Furst seems to be getting back to the great game of espionage, leaving the reluctant journalists to their own devices. Will remind most of the Polish Officer, but not as good as Night Soldiers.
This is one of the most well written books in this genre ever. Te depth of character development, the knowledge of the history of the sub-surface political and espionage intrigue is unparalleled. I warn readers to buy the audio books not the down loads from Barnes and Noble because I paid for one download but it was never delivered to my computer.
I have read every one of Alan Furst's books concerning the period around WW II but have been very disappointed in the last two - The Foreign Correspondent and The Spies of Warsaw. For me, I most enjoyed the imagery and descriptions that made me feel as if I were in the locale of the story. As someone else wrote, "I could feel and taste the fog."
In each of the last two novels Furst has abandoned the rich, detailed descriptions which made his stories so enthralling. Rather it is as if, he starts a description and then says, "Dear reader, you can fill in the rest, I'm bored with writing this stuff."
The ending of the Spies of Warsaw represents a good example of his unwillingness to put the effort into this story that was routinely put into his earlier work. Overall, the latest story is a B-; the premise had real possibilities but the implementation was not up to the standards longtime readers have come to expect.
Well written with great character and setting development as is usual in one of Alan Furst's novels. I've read them all because they are that good. If there is a complaint it would be that this particular story had only just gotten started by the time it ended. It is terribly short at only 200 pages and not really enough story time left after character and location histories. It seemed he might have rushed to complete this one. Though he is a good writer often with a great theme to work with, I will be more careful not to choose a book with so brief a story.
Put the reader right in the action. One of Furst's best!
Alan Furst is a genius
"The Spies of Warsaw" is a fiction recounting the work of European spies in the months leading to WW11. The year is 1937 and Germany is secretly preparing to invade Poland..... The story is of Col. Jean- François Mercier, a French embassy's military attaché in Poland whose job is to handle routine diplomatic work and attend nightly social obligations. His position provides him with the perfect cover to obtain crucial information on Germany`s war plans. Behind the lines he covertly runs a small network of agents specializing in obtaining information on what the German command has planned for its industries. Edvard Uhl, a German Engineer, is Mercier's main contact and one of his most valuable informants. The plot evolves around Mercier and his dealings with both the Russians and the Germans. We have an abundance of low keyed and un-dramatic espionage creating a tone that is rather cold and impersonal. It reads more like a history book or a documentary. The main characters are well represented but the author tends to represent the Nazi and the French military in a keystone cop manner. This is hardly a page turner, the storyline is weak and lacks suspense but does captures the darkness of the time and brings forward some intriguing elements surrounding the exploits behind intelligence gathering. As we may expect with spy novels, there is always a need for a spicy romance, this one leaves no surprises, Mercier is smitten by the mysterious Anna Szarbek, a beautiful French lawyer of Polish parentage with uncertain loyalties and unclear ambitions.... Although this novel is good, it is far from being my favourite of the year
Furst is a master of the atmospheric spy thriller. He spares the reader the minutia and the erudite interjection. If you want a historian's chronology of Poland ruled by Sanacja, a picture of Poland right before the catastrophe of 1939, reach for a book by Neal Ascherson or Norman Davies. Furst, however, does manipulate the levers of reader's imagination; paints a few details and leaves a lot covered in sfumato. He has done it again in The Spies of Warsaw, proving that his initial success was not a mere flash of brilliance.
Alan Furst's book The Spies of Warsaw described the hard life of Edvard Uhl. Uhl was a working class man who had to turn to espionage to provide for himself and his so-called love, Sczelenska. He was working for the Germans helping manufacture tanks. The espionage group sees this as a source for information. The information that he provided wasn't helpful in the long run. Mercier, a member of the espionage group is determined to find Hitler's plans to take over Europe. The story's pace then speeds up when Mercier decides to find the plans. Furst does an excellent job developing the wide variety of characters. The characters range from Poland spies, Nazi officers, French producers to Bulgarian fishermen. He did not make the story flow. I jumped from the Bulgarian National Union marching to people ordering oysters in Paris. To understand the book you had to look at the small things that are easy to glance over. The book did however keep you on edge, the next event in the story was a mystery. The characters were very deceiving they seemed to play a very large role in the book but many turned out to be nothing more than filler characters. The book overall was very interesting if you like World War II.

|Old College, Edinburgh University, 1827
As I was doing no good at school, my father wisely took me away at a rather earlier age than usual, and sent me (Oct. 1825) to Edinburgh University with my brother, where I stayed for two years or sessions. My brother was completing his medical studies, though I do not believe he ever really intended to practise, and I was sent there to commence them. But soon after this period I became convinced from various small circumstances that my father would leave me property enough to subsist on with some comfort, though I never imagined that I should be so rich a man as I am; but my belief was sufficient to check any strenuous effort to learn medicine.
The instruction at Edinburgh was altogether by lectures, and these were intolerably dull, with the exception of those on chemistry by [Thomas Charles] Hope [1766–1844]; but to my mind there are no advantages and many disadvantages in lectures compared with reading. Dr. [Andrew] Duncan's lectures on Materia Medica at 8 o'clock on a winter's morning are something fearful to remember [In a letter written to his sister Caroline at the time, Darwin says"Dr. Duncan is so very learned that his wisdom has left no room for his sense, and he lectures, as I have already said, on the Materia Medica, which cannot be translated into any words expressive enough of its stupidity."].
Alexander Munro
Dr. [Alexander] Munro [III (1773–1859] made his lectures on human anatomy as dull as he was himself, and the subject disgusted me [In the letter just mentioned, Darwin also comments about Munro:"I dislike him and his lectures so much that I cannot speak with decency about them"]. It has proved one of the greatest evils in my life that I was not urged to practise dissection, for I should soon have got over my disgust; and the practice would have been invaluable for all my future work. This has been an irremediable evil, as well as my incapacity to draw. I also attended regularly the clinical wards in the hospital. Some of the cases distressed me a good deal, and I still have vivid pictures before me of some of them; but I was not so foolish as to allow this to lessen my attendance. I cannot understand why this part of my medical course did not interest me in a greater degree; for during the summer before coming to Edinburgh I began attending some of the poor people, chiefly children and women in Shrewsbury: I wrote down as full an account as I could of the case with all the symptoms, and read them aloud to my father, who suggested further inquiries and advised me what medicines to give, which I made up myself. At one time I had at least a dozen patients, and I felt a keen interest in the work. My father, who was by far the best judge of character whom I ever knew, declared that I should make a successful physician, — meaning by this one who would get many patients. He maintained that the chief element of success was exciting confidence; but what he saw in me which convinced him that I should create confidence I know not. I also attended on two occasions the operating theatre in the hospital at Edinburgh, and saw two very bad operations, one on a child, but I rushed away before they were completed. Nor did I ever attend again, for hardly any inducement would have been strong enough to make me do so; this being long before the blessed days of chloroform. The two cases fairly haunted me for many a long year. [In the Life and Letters, Darwin mentions his belief that he inherited a dread of blood from his father:"His great success as a doctor was the more remarkable, as he told me that he at first hated his profession so much that if he had been sure of the smallest pittance, or if his father had given him any choice, nothing should have induced him to follow it. To the end of his life, the thought of an operation almost sickened him, and he could scarcely endure to see a person bled—a horror which he has transmitted to me—and I remember the horror which I felt as a schoolboy in reading about Pliny (I think) bleeding to death in a warm bath." (Actually, the elder Pliny died in a volcanic eruption and the nature of the younger Pliny's death is unknown. Perhaps Darwin was thinking of Seneca the Younger?)]
My brother stayed only one year at the University, so that during the second year I was left to my own resources; and this was an advantage, for I became well acquainted with several young men fond of natural science. One of these was [William Francis] Ainsworth [1807–1896], who afterwards published his travels in Assyria; he was a Wernerian geologist [i.e., a Neptunist], and knew a little about many subjects. Dr. [John] Coldstream was a very different young man, prim, formal, highly religious, and most kind-hearted; he afterwards published some good zoological articles. A third young man was Hardie, who would, I think, have made a good botanist, but died early in India. Lastly, Dr. [Robert Edmond] Grant, my senior by several years, but how I became acquainted with him I cannot remember; he published some first-rate zoological papers, but after coming to London as Professor in University College, he did nothing more in science, a fact which has always been inexplicable to me. I knew him well; he was dry and formal in manner, with much enthusiasm beneath this outer crust. He one day, when we were walking together, burst forth in high admiration of Lamarck and his views on evolution. I listened in silent astonishment, and as far as I can judge without any effect on my mind. I had previously read the 'Zoonomia' of my grandfather [Erasmus Darwin], in which similar views are maintained, but without producing any effect on me. Nevertheless it is probable that the hearing rather early in life such views maintained and praised may have favoured my upholding them under a different form in my 'Origin of Species.' At this time I admired greatly the 'Zoonomia;' but on reading it a second time after an interval of ten or fifteen years, I was much disappointed; the proportion of speculation being so large to the facts given.
Drs. Grant and Coldstream attended much to marine Zoology, and I often accompanied the former to collect animals in the tidal pools, which I dissected as well as I could. I also became friends with some of the Newhaven fishermen, and sometimes accompanied them when they trawled for oysters, and thus got many specimens. But from not having had any regular practice in dissection, and from possessing only a wretched microscope, my attempts were very poor. Nevertheless I made one interesting little discovery, and read, about the beginning of the year 1826, a short paper on the subject before the Plinian Society. This was that the so-called Flustra [a genus of the bryozoan suborder Flustrina] had the power of independent movement by means of cilia, and were in fact larvæ. In another short paper I showed that the little globular bodies which had been supposed to be the young state of Fucus loreus [a type of brown alga known by the common names Thongweed and Sea Spaghetti] were the egg-cases of the worm-like Pontobdella muricata [the skate-leech, a type of marine leech].
The Plinian Society was encouraged and, I believe, founded by Professor [Robert] Jameson [actually Jameson never attended the Plinian and was not its founder1; Jameson, who was Regius Professor at the University of Edinburgh for fifty years, founded the Wernerian Society, mentioned below]: it consisted of students and met in an underground room in the University for the sake of reading papers on natural science and discussing them. I used regularly to attend, and the meetings had a good effect on me in stimulating my zeal and giving me new congenial acquaintances. One evening a poor young man got up, and after stammering for a prodigious length of time, blushing crimson, he at last slowly got out the words,"Mr. President, I have forgotten what I was going to say." The poor fellow looked quite over-whelmed, and all the members were so surprised that no one could think of a word to say to cover his confusion. The papers which were read to our little society were not printed, so that I had not the satisfaction of seeing my paper in print; but I believe Dr. Grant noticed my small discovery in his excellent memoir on Flustra.
I was also a member of the Royal Medical Society, and attended pretty regularly; but as the subjects were exclusively medical, I did not much care about them. Much rubbish was talked there, but there were some good speakers, of whom the best was the present Sir J. Kay-Shuttleworth [1804-1877]. Dr. Grant took me occasionally to the meetings of the Wernerian Society [of which Robert Jameson was the founder and president], where various papers on natural history were read, discussed, and afterwards published in the 'Transactions.' I heard Audubon deliver there some interesting discourses on the habits of N. American birds, sneering somewhat unjustly at Waterton [author of Wanderings in South America. By the way, a negro lived in Edinburgh, who had travelled with Waterton, and gained his livelihood by stuffing birds, which he did excellently: he gave me lessons for payment, and I used often to sit with him, for he was a very pleasant and intelligent man.
Mr. Leonard Horner also took me once to a meeting of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, where I saw Sir Walter Scott in the chair as President, and he apologised to the meeting as not feeling fitted for such a position. I looked at him and at the whole scene with some awe and reverence, and I think it was owing to this visit during my youth, and to my having attended the Royal Medical Society, that I felt the honour of being elected a few years ago an honorary member of both these Societies, more than any other similar honour. If I had been told at that time that I should one day have been thus honoured, I declare that I should have thought it as ridiculous and improbable, as if I had been told that I should be elected King of England.
Robert Jameson
During my second year at Edinburgh I attended [Professor Robert] Jameson's lectures on Geology and Zoology, but they were incredibly dull. The sole effect they produced on me was the determination never as long as I lived to read a book on Geology, or in any way to study the science. Yet I feel sure that I was prepared for a philosophical treatment of the subject; for an old Mr. Cotton in Shropshire, who knew a good deal about rocks, had pointed out to me two or three years previously a well-known large erratic boulder in the town of Shrewsbury, called the"bell-stone"; he told me that there was no rock of the same kind nearer than Cumberland or Scotland, and he solemnly assured me that the world would come to an end before any one would be able to explain how this stone came where it now lay. This produced a deep impression on me, and I meditated over this wonderful stone. So that I felt the keenest delight when I first read of the action of icebergs in transporting boulders, and I gloried in the progress of Geology. Equally striking is the fact that I, though now [1876] only sixty-seven years old [at the time of writing this section of the autobiography], heard Professor Jameson [who died in 1854], in a field lecture [while Darwin was a student in Edinburgh] at Salisbury Craigs [some high cliffs outside Edinburgh], discoursing on a trap-dyke, with amygdaloidal margins and the strata indurated [i.e., hardened into stone] on each side, with volcanic rocks all around us, say that it was a fissure filled with sediment from above [Jameson was a Neptunist, a then current theory of geology], adding with a sneer that there were men who maintained that it had been injected from beneath in a molten condition. When I think of this lecture, I do not wonder that I determined never to attend to Geology.
From attending Jameson's lectures, I became acquainted with the curator of the museum, Mr. [William] Macgillivray, who afterwards published a large and excellent book on the birds of Scotland.2 [At this point Darwin's son, Francis, edited out the following comment, which appeared in the orginal manuscript:"He had not much the appearance or manners of the gentleman."] I had much interesting natural-history talk with him, and he was very kind to me. He gave me some rare shells, for I at that time collected marine mollusca, but with no great zeal.
My summer vacations during these two years were wholly given up to amusements, though I always had some book in hand, which I read with interest. During the summer of 1826 I took a long walking tour with two friends with knapsacks on our backs through North Wales. We walked thirty miles most days, including one day the ascent of Snowdon [the highest mountain in Wales]. I also went with my sister [on] a riding tour in North Wales, a servant with saddle-bags carrying our clothes.
The autumns were devoted to shooting chiefly at Mr. [William Mostyn] Owen's [a friend of the family], at Woodhouse, and at my Uncle Jos's, at Maer. My zeal was so great that I used to place my shooting-boots open by my bed-side when I went to bed, so as not to lose half a minute in putting them on in the morning; and on one occasion I reached a distant part of the Maer estate, on the 20th of August for black-game shooting, before I could see: I then toiled on with the gamekeeper the whole day through thick heath and young Scotch firs.
I kept an exact record of every bird which I shot throughout the whole season. One day when shooting at Woodhouse with Captain Owen, the eldest son [William Mostyn-Owen], and Major Hill, his cousin, afterwards Lord Berwick, both of whom I liked very much, I thought myself shamefully used, for every time after I had fired and thought that I had killed a bird, one of the two acted as if loading his gun, and cried out,
And the gamekeeper, perceiving the joke, backed them up. After some hours they told me the joke, but it was no joke to me, for I had shot a large number of birds, but did not know how many, and could not add them to my list, which I used to do by making a knot in a piece of string tied to a button-hole. This my wicked friends had perceived.
How I did enjoy shooting! but I think that I must have been half-consciously ashamed of my zeal, for I tried to persuade myself that shooting was almost an intellectual employment; it required so much skill to judge where to find most game and to hunt the dogs well.
One of my autumnal visits to Maer [Hall] in 1827 was memorable from meeting there Sir J. Mackintosh [the husband of a sister of Josiah Wedgwood's wife's sister], who was the best converser I ever listened to. I heard afterwards with a glow of pride that he had said,"There is something in that young man that interests me." This must have been chiefly due to his perceiving that I listened with much interest to everything which he said, for I was as ignorant as a pig about his subjects of history, politics, and moral philosophy. To hear of praise from an eminent person, though no doubt apt or certain to excite vanity, is, I think, good for a young man, as it helps to keep him in the right course.
Emma Darwin
My visits to Maer during these two or three succeeding years were quite delightful, independently of the autumnal shooting. Life there was perfectly free; the country was very pleasant for walking or riding; and in the evening there was much very agreeable conversation, not so personal as it generally is in large family parties, together with music. In the summer the whole family [including Uncle Jos's daughter, Emma Wedgwood, Darwin's future wife] used often to sit on the steps of the old portico, with the flower-garden in front, and with the steep wooded bank opposite the house reflected in the lake [or mere, for which the estate is named], with here and there a fish rising or a water-bird paddling about. Nothing has left a more vivid picture on my mind than these evenings at Maer. I was also attached to and greatly revered my Uncle Jos; he was silent and reserved, so as to be a rather awful man; but he sometimes talked openly with me. He was the very type of an upright man, with the clearest judgment. I do not believe that any power on earth could have made him swerve an inch from what he considered the right course. I used to apply to him in my mind the well-known ode of Horace, now forgotten by me, in which the words"nec vultus tyranni, etc.,"3 come in.

Evergreen gridiron franchise returns
The biggest change in NFL 11 is Gameflow, a system that simplifies the confusing menus and options that were used in earlier editions to call offensive and defensive plays, and instead allows players to make these choices using a single button. And while this new feature is far from perfect, and occasionally doesnt offer the choices many hardened NFL fans will be looking for, its still a fine way to manage the action, make the matches faster, and allow those with only a passing interest in the sport to get stuck in.
The intelligence of the computer-controlled players particularly when playing offensively is also a marked improvement on earlier versions, and the presentation throughout is stunning, from the realistic animations and sharp graphics to the voiceovers provided by Gus Johnson, whos more excitable and endearing that last years tired Tom Hammond. But while the single-player game feels more accomplished in every respect, its the Online Team Play mode that will keep you coming back for more, offering six players the chance to work together or go head-to-head on the road to NFL glory.
If theres any criticism here its that the game has gone too far in pandering to a mainstream audience, and many players whove grown up with the series will feel as if this is dumbing down the experience. But for a quality NFL simulation that strikes a careful balance between realism and fun, Madden is still hard to beat.

Editor's note: Results in the 40-yard dash and other timed events are unofficial unless otherwise noted.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Monday's crop of defensive front-seven talent -- particularly the linemen -- was as strong as the NFL scouting combine has seen in years. From the conversion ends showcasing their speed to the battles waged between the top prospects at defensive end (South Florida's Jason Pierre-Paul versus Georgia Tech's Derrick Morgan) and defensive tackle (Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh versus Oklahoma's Gerald McCoy), there was no shortage of storylines to follow inside Lucas Oil Stadium.

VALVE CONSTRUCTION FOR PRBSSURIZED FLUID DISPENSERS Filed April 15, 1966 United States Patent O 3,337,124 VALVE CONSTRUCTION FOR PRESSURIZED FLUID DISPENSERS Arrigo Varettoni De Molin, S8 Layfayette Ave., Park Ridge, NJ. 07656, and Sidney D. Barlow, 232 Magnolia Ave., Mount Vernon, N.Y. 10552 Filed Apr. 15, 1966, Ser. No. 542,772 1 Claim. (Cl. 230-169) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention contemplates the provision of a pressurizing valve which may be pre-assembled to include an orificed casing, rst and second valve members having disaligned orifices, one of said valve members being flexible with respect to the other, and a bulb-like member for manu-ally forcing air through said valve members. The casing member forms means for holding the valve construction -in assembled condition, and is of circular configuration so as to be insertable into the end of a circular tube, following which the tube may be headed over to retain the valve in hermetically sealed relation therewith. The inventive method includes the steps of enlarging'the end of the tube to form a seat for the valve, and a free edge which may be headed over upon the valve casing, whereby filling and assembly of the device with which the valve construction is used may be facilitated.
v This invention Irelates generally to the field of fluid dispensers, as exemplified by ballpoint marking devices, and more particularly to an improved valve construction for creating a pressure differential within the dispenser to assist or replace capillary action in the `dispensing of a fluid. Addition-ally, the invention contemplates the filling and assembling of pressurized fluid dispensers using the within disclosed valve construction. Devices of this .general type are known in the art, and the invention lies in the specific constructional details permitting ease of assembly, and reduced cost of manufacture.
In devices'ofthis type, it has been accepted practice to resort to so-called slit valves, in which the valve member is formed of a resilient synthetic resinous material .in which an elongated slit has been cut through'the plane of the material, the cut edges of the slit forming a valve. To maintain a unidirectional valve action, the'valve member is abutted against 1a similarly shaped relatively inflexible plate having an eccentrically disposed opening which passes air under the laction of a compressed bulb of generally hemispherical configuration disposed on the opposite side of said plate, whereby the slit permits the passage of air in a direction away from the plate, but not in a reverse direction. This type of construction, while useful, requires the assembly within the tube forming the uppe'r portion of the fluid dispenser of five individual components, and the subsequent heading over of the end of the t-ube to maintain the components in proper herrnetically sealed position, all of the above assembly procedure being of necessity performed after the tube has been filled with the fluid :to be dispensed. In order to avoid spilling of the material, the tube must be jigged, and the individual components assembled by hand.
It is -among the principal objects of the present inventionto provide an improved valve construction which may be preassembled as a small unit and inserted into the free end of a filled tube as part of an automated assembly procedure utilizing only a single station for assembly.
Another object of the invention lies in the provision of -an improved slit valve construction, in which not only ice the components thereof may be readily fabricated Without reso-rt to extensive tooling, but in which the components may be assembled in an automated or semi-automated fashion.
Yet another object of the invention lies in the provi-sion of an improved valve construction, possessed of the above advant-ages, in which the cost of fabrication may be of a very low order, substantially less than the cost of existing equivalent constructions.
A further object of the invention lies in the provision of -an improved valving construction which may be substantially imprevious to the deleterious effects of organic solvents, moisture, grease, and other ingredients of relatively heavy, -grease-base inks.
A feature `of the invention lies in the fact that the novel construction herein disclosed may be .incorporated into existing types of fluid dispensers, with little if any modification.
Another feature of the invention lies in the complete shielding of the pressurizing means from exposure to the dispensed fluid.
These objects and features, as Well as other incidental ends and advantages, will more fully appear in the progress of the following disclosure, and be pointed out in the appended claim.
In the drawing, to which reference will be made in the specification, similar reference characters have been employed to `designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
FIGURE l is a fragmentary view in elevation of an embodiment -of the invention.
FIGURE 2 is an exploded view in perspective of a valve sub-assembly forming `an element of the embodiment.
FIGURE 3 is a view in elevation of a first valve member forming a part of the sub-assembly of FIGURE 2.
FIGURE 4 is Aa view in elevation of Ia second valve member forming a part of said sub-assembly.
FIGURE 5 is a fragmentary sectional view showing a stage of assembly of the completed embodiment.
FIGURE 6 is a similar View showing a subsequent stage of assembly.
, In accordance with the invention, the device, generally indicated by reference `character 10, is illustrated in FIG- URE 1 in the drawing in installed condition within =a conventional marking pen 11, said pen including an elongated barrel 12 of cylindrical configuration, and a dispensing tip 13, the details of which form no part of the present disclosure. The barrel 12 may be formed from extruded metallic tubing, and includes an enlarged end portion 14, terminating in a headed-over upper edge portion 15, beneath which the device 10 is positioned. The device 10 comprises broadly: a flexible bulb member 16, an orificed valve casing member 17, a first or upper valve member 18, and a second or lower valve member 19.
The flexible bulb member 16 may be of generally hemispherical shape, as is well known in the art, and includes an inner surface 22, an outer surface 23, and a generally arcuate edge bead 24. Extending between the inner and outer surfaces 22 and 23 is a generally centrally disposed orifice 25 permitting the passage of air, said orifice being selectively covered by the thumb of the user when the member 16 is compressed to force air through the members 17-19, inclusive.
The valve casing member 17 is preferably formed as a metallic stamping and drawing operation, `and includes a generally planar portion 29 having a relatively large centrally disposed orifice 30 extending between upper and lower surfaces 31 and 32, respectively. The edge 33 of the planar portion 29 terminates in a beaded portion 34 E 'leading to a cylindrical portion 35, the upper free edge 36 -of which is headed over to retain the device 10 therein.
The first -or upper valve member 1S is also preferably formed las a metallic disc-like stamping, and includes an upper surface 39, a lower surface 40, and a peripheral edge 41. An eccentrically disposed orifice 42 extends between the upper and lower surfaces 39-40, the degree of eccentricity being less than the radius of the orifice 30, `so as to lie within the area of the same when the members 17 and 18 are placed in juxtaposed coaxial relation.
The second or lower valve member 19 is preferably formed from a suitable elastomeric membranous material of natural or synthetic resinous type, such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, nylon or polyethylene, or any other elastomeric material suiiiciently inert to the deleterious effects of the solvents and other ingredients employed in the manufacture of the dispensed material. It corresponds in configuration to that of the upper valve member 18, and includes an upper surface 45 and a lower surface 46, as well as a peripheral edge 47. A relatively centrally disposed slit 48 extends between the surfaces 45 vand 46, so as to lie within the area of the orifice 30 but in offset relation with respect to the orifice 42.
Assembly of the device 10 includes the positioning of the lower valve member 19 within the cylindrical recess formed by the valve casing member 17, following which the upper valve member 1S is placed in juxtaposed relation, and the bulb member 16 wedged between the edge 36 land the upper surface 39 of the member 18. This assemlbly may be conducted `as an automated operation, using a separate station for the positioning of each of the elements. The result is a complete sub-assembly which may be inserted into the open end of the elongated barrel 12 after the same has been filled with the iiuid to be dispensed.
Referring to FIGURE in the drawing, the upper portion 14 of the barrel 12 is enlarged or fiared to form a shoulder for supporting the lower peripheral edge of the valve casing member 17. After the filling of the barrel 12, the device is slid or force-fitted into position, following which the portion 15 is headed over as is known in the art. Owing to the fact that the entire device 10 has been pre-assembled as `a sub-assembly, the filling and closing of the marking devices may also be performed by resort to automated lor semi-automated techniques, thereby materially reducing the amount of manual labor involved.
During operation of the device, the introduction of air into the barrel 12 by means of the bulb 16 follows a path through the orifice 42, the slit 48 and the orifice 30, Air
pressure in pulse form will ca-use a distention of the member 19, causing the slit 48 to open t-o permit the passage of air. When pressure on the bulb is released, the pressure differential built up within the barrel 12 will move the member 19 against the lower surface 40 -of the member 18, which will then suppo-rt the member 19 in planar condition wherein the slit 48 is again closed. This Sealing Iaction is assisted by the large area existing between the slit 48 and the orifice 42, the relatively soft member 19 tending to conform to the lower surface 40.

Shows: Not a big TV person, but I do keep current on Game of Thrones, and House of Cards is next on my list.
Books: Do Android's Dream of Electric Sheep, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Brave New World, Island. Will probably enjoy anything which includes compelling characters, or noir style mystery and suspense.
Movies: Blade Runner, Shaun of the Dead, Solaris, The American, Michael Clayton, 28 Days Later, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Evil Dead, Office Space, Inception, Wall street. I like movies which include believable, yet creative worlds, the ones that you can't stop thinking about for days. Movies that are just fun are great too, no reason to be all intellectually serious all the time.
Food: Italian, Indian, Korean, Chinese, Thai, had Indonesian in Amsterdam - I'm pretty open when it comes to food.

Soccer hooligans at it again.
Via Metro UK:
Three men have been arrested after Jewish shoppers were reportedly pelted with gas canisters and had 'Hitler is on the way' shouted at them.
The anti-Semitic incident is alleged to have happened at Tottenham Hale Retail Park, north London, at around 7.45pm on Wednesday, while the suspects were in a pick-up truck.
Jewish neighbourhood watch group Shomrim said they had been contacted by one of the victims who claimed a man in the truck also shouted 'Heil Hitler', according to reports.
Scotland Yard said a 24-year-old man had been arrested on suspicion of a religiously aggravated public order offence.
It was later confirmed they had also arrested a 22-year-old man and an 18-year-old man accused of the same offence.
All three suspects came forward to the police and remain in custody, the force said.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the police on 101 or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

From the HEFCE press release today:
HEFCE has announced an initial £5.7 million of funding for pilot projects that will open up existing high-quality education resources from higher education institutions to the world.
In plain English, this means making available teaching and related material in digital form — for others in HE (and elsewhere) to reuse and adapt for teaching and learning.
The press notice explains that:
Open educational resources could include full courses, course materials, complete modules, notes, videos, assessments, tests, simulations, worked examples, software, and any other tools or materials or techniques used to support access to knowledge.
Also spotted today: Martin Weller of the Open University writes about SocialLearn, the OU's project to develop a social network for learning — a few steps on from its Open Education initiative, OpenLearn.
Anyone wanting to keep track of developments in Open Education would do well to check Stephen Downes' invaluable blog, where it features frequently, eg covering recent publications and events.

Former Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt is linked to a move back to the Premier League with West Ham United showing an interest in the Dutch striker.
Kuyt, who is currently at Fenerbahce in Turkey, has scored 17 league goals over the past 18 months, as West Ham boss Sam Allardyce looks to assist Andy Carroll up front.
The 33-year-old's contract runs out in 2015, but Turkish news outlet Fotospor belives that due to his age, Kuyt could leave the club before then, at a price lower than the €1m Fenerbahce paid for him in 2012.
Allardyce will look to strengthen up front for next season, with doubts over Andy Carroll's fitness and Modibo Maiga's long term future at the club.

President Faces Trouble Selling $700B Bailout
Volatile stock market sends oil prices askew.
WASHINGTON -- As the nation continues to react to the sticker shock of the $700 billion bailout plan issued last week, President George W. Bush fielded bipartisan grief Friday from legislators on Capitol Hill hemming and hawing over the proper cause of action.
Outside the Oval Office, amid backlash and confusion, Bush conceded this is a difficult time and lawmakers are entitled to question the policy. However, he insisted they must "rise too the occasion" to avoid a economic national tragedy that would dwarf existing conditions, perhaps best underscored by the sudden demise yesterday of Washington Mutual, the largest bank to fail in U.S. history.
"There are disagreements over aspects of the rescue plan," Bush told Reuters, "but there is no disagreement that something substantial must be done. We are going to get a package passed."
As the Dow Jones Industrial average fell more than 100 points Friday, House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) declared an agreement depends on House Republicans "dropping this revolt" against the Bush-requested plan.
Lawmakers question whether presidential hopefuls Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama's participation has helped or hindered the process.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said on the Senate floor that Bush should "respectfully tell Sen. McCain to get out of town. He is not helping, he is harming. Before Sen. McCain made his announcement, we were making progress."
As the end of the bailout debate was uncertain Friday, oil prices were impacted by the pending outcome. The Associated Press reported light, sweet crude for November delivery fell $2.47 to $105.55 in early trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after earlier dipping as low as $104.25. The drop wiped out the previous day's advance of $2.29 to $108.02.
Investors are worried after negotiations among congressional leaders broke down late Thursday. "The bailout is a real focus of the market because it's seen as being quite important to the direction of the economy," David Moore, a commodity strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney, told the AP.
Oil companies located in the recently ravished Gulf are slowly ramping up. Approximately 63 percent of crude output and 57 percent of natural gas production was still shut-in as of Wednesday, according to the U.S. Minerals Management Service.

Lilibeth Choly Herrera - Smoking Honey Plays With Her Cunt - [Low]
Lilibeth has been impressively naughty since she broke up with her last bf. And her smoking habit has gotten out of manage. She answered an advertisement to be in a smoking fetish flick and she was exceptionally ecstatic at the prospect of getting her vulva drilled while she sucked her precious cigarette smoke. She has a fine smile and a set of round utter lips that get fabulous and pouty when she deep throats on the filter of her cigarette. The movie lets her flash off her fine talent of providing excellent head while puffing on her cigarette. She has a silicone fuck stick that she provocative munches and taunts while exhaling clouds of smoke. She is getting so nasty because of the smoking blowage, and she glides of her undies and commences groping her cootchie furiously, very first with her thumbs, then with the fake penis, all the while keeping her cigarette going and taking lengthy beautiful, choky hauls. Lilibeths very first homemade smoking fetish gauze is amazingly steaming and exciting as she takes lengthy marvelous hauls from her smoke while she pleases her muff with her massive faux-cock.406 Views

What Is Diabetes Distress?
For someone with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, micromanaging your lifestyle, diet, exercise and blood sugar levels can be very stressful. Some may feel the burden is too much, or that no matter how hard they try, the diabetes still has control. Before now, doctors may have diagnosed depression, anxiety or stress, but there is now a diagnosis called diabetes distress.

"We are really, really excited about signing Amath," said Schroyer. "He fits a need that I feel our program really needs for the future. He is 6'9" and plays the game with a very high motor. He is a great rebounder but also has very good perimeter skills and can step out and shoot the ball. He has the versatility that will fit nicely in our system.
"I think Amath has the chance to not only be a good player, but a great one. He is a quality young man and a very good student. This is a great day for Cowboy basketball."
