The pool usually has four lanes for swimmers of slow, "getting faster" and two fast lanes.
Facility Reviews
Lane discipline is enforced, but crawl is not enforced in the fast lane.
Rating: 6 on a scale of 10. Crowded, many breaststrokers in the freestyle lane, making it hard to swim hard.
Nice facilities, but at 29ºC. (84ºF.), it's too hot for training.
Nice and clean. Not crowded at 8 AM. Two lanes with lane lines, the rest, a free-for-all. Water too warm; probably 86ºF (30ºC).
Busy, especially evenings. Staff laissez-faire.
Not too warm: ~82º F (28ºC). Very crowded at 6 PM on a Monday, but bright, clean, and good for a workout.
The change rooms have been recently renovated; they are pleasant but there are not enough benches, so they get very crowded. Lane discipline has gone downhill. There a lot of very slow swimmers in the fast lane - and aggressive with it! It's getting hotter all the time - 30ºC. This pool used to be a pleasure but is now very disappointing. [June, 2013]
Swam at 8:30 a.m. on a weekday; the crowd was modest and lane speed was being followed by all. Medium seemed to mean "okay for breast stroke" and I didn't encounter any breaststrokers in the fast lane. Agree on the locker room comment -- much improved. [May, 2014]

Police seek man in shooting
Manchester Police Sgt. Craig Rousseau said the incident occurred just after midnight on Feb. 26, when several shots were reportedly fired in the vicinity of a home at 45 Myrtle Street. No injuries were reported.
Police believe the person responsible for firing those shots is Dominic Stanin, with a last known address of 558 Amory Street in Manchester.
As a result of an ongoing investigation into the incident, warrants have been issued for Stanin's arrest for reckless conduct, being a felon in possession of a deadly weapon, and violation of probation. Stanin, 45, was convicted of robbery in 1999 in New York.
"Stanin is believed to be still here in the Manchester area, and should be considered armed and dangerous," said Sgt. Rousseau. "We wanted to get the word out there about him, and hopefully get him off the streets as quick as we can."
Police ask that anyone who sees Stanin, or may have information on his whereabouts, contact them at 868-8711, or by calling the Crimeline at 624-4040.

Readable Clojure Without a Java Equivalent?
I've recently joined a new team and we've been doing a bit of Clojure.
If you've never done Lisp (and I hadn't before I found Clojure) it's
natural to ask the quesetion: Will programming in Lisp, especially Prefix Notation, ever feel natural? The question came up a few weeks ago and I had two answers
First of all, I've never been really upset about parenthesis. In fact, I've been doing a bit of Java these days and I don't see much difference between verify(foo).bar(eq(100), any(Baz.class), eq("Cat")) and (-> foo verify (.bar (eq 100) (any Baz) (eq "Cat))). By my count it's the same number of parenthesis. Where they're located moves around a bit, but I don't consider that to be a good or a bad thing.
People also like to bring up examples like this:
(apply merge-with +Stefan Tilkov addressed this in a previous blog entry, and (in the comments of Stefan's entry) Rich Hickey points out that you can use a few different versions if you prefer to lay your code out in a different manner. Below are two alternative solutions Rich provided.
(pmap count-lines
(partition-all *batch-size*
(line-seq (reader filename)))))
; The same code in a pipelined Clojure style:
(->> (line-seq (reader filename))
(partition-all *batch-size*)
(pmap count-lines)
(apply merge-with +))
; and in a step-wise Clojure style with labeled interim results (a la Adrian's comment):
(let [lines (line-seq (reader filename))I've felt the same way for awhile. You can write Cobol in any language. The real question is, are you up for learning how to solve problems elegantly and idiomatically in a new language. If you're willing to invest the time, you'll be able to find out for yourself if it feels natural to write idiomatic Clojure code.
processed-data (pmap count-lines
(partition-all *batch-size* lines))]
(apply merge-with + processed-data))
That was my answer, until today. While working on some Java code I stumbled on the following Java method.
public void onFill(int fillQty) {This is a simple Java method that is decrementing the outstanding quantity state of an order by the amount of the order that just been filled. While reading the line I couldn't help but feel like there should be a more elegant way to express the logic. You want to set the outstanding quantity state to the current outstanding quantity minus what's just been filled, but you also never want the outstanding quantity to go below zero. I read from left to right, and I really wanted a way to express this logic in a way that followed the left to right pattern.
this.qty = Math.max(this.qty - fillQty, 0);
In Clojure, this is easy to do:
(swap! qty #(-> % (- fill-qty) (Math/max 0)))For readers who are less familiar with Clojure dispatch reader macro, the above example can also be written as:
(swap! qty (fn [current-qty] (-> current-qty (- fill-qty) (Math/max 0))))In the example above swap! is setting the qty state with the return value of the function.
If you're really new to Clojure, that might still be too much to take, so we can reduce the example and remove the state setting. Here's the version in Java that ignores setting state.
Math.max(this.qty - fillQty, 0);The example below is a logical equivalent in Clojure.
(-> qty (- fill-qty) (Math/max 0))When reading the above Java example I'm forced to put Math.max on my mental stack, evaluate this.qty - fillQty, and then mentally evaluate the method I put on the stack with my new result and the additional args. This isn't rocket science, but it's also not how I naturally read (left to right). On the other hand, when I read the Clojure version I think - take the current quantity, subtract the fill quantity, then take the max of that and zero. The code reads in small, logical chucks that are easy for me to digest.
Obviously, the Java code can also be rewritten in a few other ways. Here's an example of Java code that reads left to right and top to bottom.
public void onFill(int fillQty) {And, I can do something similar in Clojure, if I want.
this.qty -= fillQty
this.qty = Math.max(this.qty, 0);
(swap! qty #(- % fill-qty))While it's possible to write Clojure similar to the above example, it's much more likely that you'd use a let statement if you wanted to break up the two operations.
(swap! qty #(Math/max % 0))
(defn update-qty [current fill-qty]The above example is probably about equivalent to the following Java snippet.
(let [total-qty (- current fill-qty)]
(Math/max total-qty 0)))
(swap! qty update-qty fill-qty)
public void onFill(int fillQty) {So, I can write code that is similar to my options in Java, but I'm still left wanting a Java version that is similar to this Clojure example:
int newTotalQty = this.qty - fillQty
this.qty = Math.max(newTotalQty, 0);
(swap! qty #(-> % (- fill-qty) (Math/max 0)))The only thing that springs to mind is some type of fluent interface that allows me to say this.qty = this.qty.minus(fillQty).maxOfIdentityOrZero(), but I can't think of a realistic way to create that API without quite a bit of infrastructure code (including my own Integer class).
(note, you could extend Integer in a language with open classes, but that's outside the scope of this discussion)
The last Clojure example is definitely the version of the code I would prefer. My preference is based on the way the code reads in concise, logical chunks from left to write. I don't have to solve inside out like the original java version forces me to, and I don't have to split my work across two lines.
I'm sure there are situations where Java allowed me to create an elegant solution that wouldn't have been possible in Clojure. This entry isn't designed to send a "Clojure is better than Java" message. I don't believe that. However, before today I've held the opinion that you can write Clojure that logically breaks up problems in ways very similar to what you do using Java. However, I've now also expanded my opinion to include the fact that in certain situations Clojure can also allow me to solve problems in a way that I find superior to my options within Java.
And, yes, after a bit of time getting used to Lisp syntax, it definitely does feel perfectly natural to me when I'm developing using Clojure.

Esko Luontola replied on Fri, 2011/03/25 - 11:03am
Let's raise the level of abstraction and use an intention-revealing name.
public void onFill(int fillQty) { this.qty = nonNegative(this.qty - fillQty); } private static int nonNegative(int i) { return Math.max(i, 0); }
I might also make qty a domain object and give it a well named method for reducing the quantity.
Andy Leung replied on Fri, 2011/03/25 - 11:31am
Clojure:(swap! qty #(-> % (- fill-qty) (Math/max 0)))
Requires: (!#(->%(--)(/)))
Java: public void onFill(int fillQty) {
this.qty = Math.max(this.qty - fillQty, 0);
Requires: (){.=.(.-,);}
So comparing symbols itself, Clojure is 16 and Java is 13. 3 symbols may not be much because Java has more character count but I can type 10 letters with the same amount of time of typing 3 symbols. So I still like Java syntax more. :P
Bayan Khalili replied on Sat, 2011/03/26 - 1:35pm
@Andy Leung
The Clojure code is doing much more than the Java code. At the cost of a few extra symbols, it allows the state to be set atomically, even within a multithreaded environment. (see here)
The author was trying to show how each language calculates the value. But the way Clojure handles state would be unfamiliar to people who are new to the language, and it would detract from the main focus of the article. This is why he pulls out the state setting code further into the article.
Tero Kadenius replied on Sat, 2011/03/26 - 6:46pm
@Andy Leung:
I've never heard anyone use such an innovative argument for defending Java's excessive boiler plate and criticizing Clojure's expressiveness at the same time. Applause! ;)
On a more serious note, I've just recently grasped the beauty of the threading macros. It's nice how Clojure delivers fluent-interface-like functionality out-of-the-box, whereas in Java you would have to implement all sorts of builder patterns and domain objects and subclass this and extend that in order to achieve the same thing. You don't have to maintain the code you don't write.
Even though this isn't a competition, Clojure wins hands down. ;)
Andy Leung replied on Fri, 2011/04/08 - 9:53am in response to: Tero Kadenius
(import '(java.util.concurrent Executors))
(defn test-stm [nitems nthreads niters]
(let [refs (map ref (replicate nitems 0))
pool (Executors/newFixedThreadPool nthreads)
tasks (map (fn [t]
(fn []
(dotimes [n niters]
(doseq [r refs]
(alter r + 1 t))))))
(range nthreads))]
(doseq [future (.invokeAll pool tasks)]
(.get future))
(.shutdown pool)
(map deref refs)))
And this is a simply do nothing multi-thread example from Clojure web site, but if you have complex logic, are you going to put everything in this block? or you still wrap your logic in object-kind-of-context (block) before submitting all tasks??? So what's exactly different than Java's Concurrency package and I can imagine syntax looks very similar. PLUS you mentioned with Java I would have to implement all sorts of builder patterns? So are builder patterns bad? I see the Clojure code above as builder pattern too. Please enlighten me. :)

There's no certainty when the two became an item, but they were both North Enders and probably attended the Cockerel together. He likely knew her for several years ... It is easy to imagine he had intentions before marching off to war. Maybe the thought of young 'Sary,' as he affectionately called her, filled his breast with bravery at one moment and ache as he pined for home the next."
Joel Miller. The Revolutionary Paul Revere. 2010. pg. 33.
Esther Forbes: "He [Paul] was twenty-two when he came back from the wars, and he soon married Sarah Orne. But they went on living in his father's old house [Clark's Wharf residence], with his mother and five brothers and sisters."
Source: Esther Forbes, Lynn Ward. America's Paul Revere. 1990. pg. 9.
David Fischer: "The first baby arrived eight months after the wedding -- a common occurrence in mid-18th-century New England, where as many as one-third of the brides in Yankee towns were pregnant on their wedding day."
Source: David Hackett Fischer. Paul Revere's Ride. 1995. pg. 15.
Esther Forbes: "As long as she lived, Sara never had a child in an odd year and never missed an even one. So little is known about this first wife of Paul Revere, and yet that little to us seems sad."
Source: Esther Forbes. Paul Revere and the World He Lived In. 1999. pg. 169.
Jayne Triber: "There are no existing portraits or letters that illuminate her personality or her relationship with her husband, but surely Sara's skillful management of the Revere household had allowed her husband to pursue his active life as an artisan, Mason, and Son of Liberty."
Source: Jayne E. Triber. A True Republican: The Life of Paul Revere. 2001. pg. 91.
Esther Forbes: "So, even if widowed but a few weeks, Paul Revere was behaving perfectly naturally ... Life must go on. Courtship must go on -- even if one's wife is barely cold in the grave."
Source: Esther Forbes. Paul Revere and the World He Lived In. 1999. pg. 184.

Raising Children with Disabilities
The joy of being a Parent is one you can not put a price tag on. Some people choose to be child-free but many look forward to carrying their own babies, rolling on the floor with them, doing the small things, big ones and everything between. Then, the reality of life sets in, in a totally different way when our angels are diagnosed with having a disability.
On this week's episode we will be speaking with two wonderful women - BEBE CLEMENT and VICTORIA LAWRENCE on RAISING CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES - both sharing their personal stories.
Touching on -
How do you get a diagnosis?
What can you do to help the child?
How does it affect the family dynamic?
How do siblings handle it?
Financial/ marital pressures?
What can family and friends do to help?
How do you keep yourself sane?
The Able Act - Why Should Parents of Children with Disabilities Care?

She and Mark Friese, Vice President of Merrill Lynch Special Needs Group will explain what the Able Act is and how it can help ensure independence and dignity for people with disabilities through tax free savings accounts.
Learning Disabilities and Possible Brain Injury in Children with Complex Congeni
in Health
Babies who have had open-heart surgery, especially those with complex, congenital heart defects (CCHDs), are at much greater risk for brain injury or learning disabilities. Because of the heart defects themselves, and because of the complicated circulation involved with CCHDs, infants are more at risk for strokes. Infants who have had strokes often have brain injury due to stroke and those children with brain injuries caused in early childhood are more at risk for learning disabilities.
While this sounds very frightening, it doesn't have to mean that your child's quality of life will be greatly inferior to a child without a heart defect. Today's show features a heart mom whose child had an anoxic brain injury (which is fairly uncommon), a pediatric cardiologist and pediatric neurologist from Boston Children's Hospital, and a special education advocate. These expert Guests share information to help others navigate raising a child with a brain injury and/or learning disability.

A Revolutionary Approach To Learning Disabilities
in Parents
There's a revolution taking place in understanding Learning Disabilities. With new neuroscientific findings, we see that an individual with dyslexia--a language based LD-- has a brain that works differently while reading. Educators at all levels are taking this new knowledge to use new assistive technologies to tailor content to the individual mind of the student. Now, a student with dyslexia and a student with aspraxia -- whose brain has problems planning to move the body parts (e.g., lips, jaw, tongue) needed for speech -- in the same classroom, can have their individual lessons optimized for their particular strengths and weaknesses.
Ben Powers is the headmaster of Eagle Hill-Southport, an independent day school in Connecticut for students with learning disabilities. Prior to joining the school in 2012, he served as headmaster of The Kildonan School. He is a passionate member of and advocate in the field of dyslexia and language-based learning disabilities and ADD/ADHD and is on the board of directors of Headstrong Nation and Smart Kids with Learning Disabilities.
DISABILITIES/Setbacks & differences. We discuss #57
Welcome to this show where we continue the raw, real, getting dirty, & filthy honest chats about people with disabilities, setbacks, differences, how to handle dramatic affairs, hypocricy and all sorts of things we have learned from the past and are going to apply to our future, to hopefully make things work out more/better with a new crowd.
Listen in to maybe learn a thing or two, or just hear us rant! Either way we love & appreciate all of our listeners, and we welcome one and all.

"I urge you to oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This treaty surrenders U.S. sovereignty to unelected UN bureaucrats and will threaten parental care of children with disabilities. Our nation already has laws to protect Americans with disabilities." Mike Farris
Bob Dole, U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power, more than 700 disabilities, veterans and business groups and a bipartisan group of senators are pushing for the treaty to be brought up for a vote again before the August recess.

Neo-Giallo Thriller CITY OF LUST Coming to DVD & VOD 7/1
On July 1st, Brain Damage Films will release the indie horror-thriller City of Lust (previously titled "Yellow"), an imaginative and intense film styled in homage to Giallo horror films from the 1970's but set in the present. DVD availability is set to include many retailers and websites including Amazon, as well as rental chains including Family Video. VOD availability will include all major and minor cable/satellite operators and internet platforms.
About the Film
City of Lust is a modern day Giallo film produced by Soft Cage Films, a not-for-profit art organization based out of Chicago. World traveler and Writer/Director David A. Holcombe draws heavily from his serious involvement in both the Chicago film community as well as experimental theater.
The film uses many unconventional techniques and offers a claustrophobic atmosphere, sharp compositions, and radiant colors. City of Lust has been described by critics as being "smart, risk taking and edgy".
Arianna is a young woman who moves to the city to escape a traumatic family life in the suburbs. She works as a cosmetologist and is showing early signs of formaldehyde poisoning. New to the city and lonely, she reaches out to a female sex line operator. They agree to meet and soon begin a volatile relationship. An altercation at work results in Arianna losing her job. Then, people in her life begin to turn up dead. With Arianna's health, career, and new relationship all disintegrating before her eyes, how much longer can she, and those around her, survive?

Timing Your Renovations
Captain Aquatics Answers Your Mail
Even though we've published this column every month for about two years, we are still surprised by all the letters we get from readers, admirers, spambots, etc. Most readers just want to thank us for making sense of the Model Aquatic Health Code, enlightening them about swimming pool threats, or thrilling them with tales about new products or new business opportunities. Then there are the weekly cease-and-desist letters we get from Aquaman's legal team…
Yet, despite all the information we pass along in our folksy format, we also get questions from our readers. You're all so hungry for more information! So, this month we'll sort through file drawer 'Q' and answer your questions.
Letter #1: Our aquatics facility is so old that the steel used in the water slide was actually milled and forged in the USA. Should we renovate or start from scratch?
Response #1: To say not much has changed in the past fifty years would be like saying Mackinac could use a decent fudge shop. These days, a pool renovation project can not only get you spiffy new slides and fresh grout, it can bring you the latest in safety and energy efficiency – pumps with variable frequency drives, LED lights, solar heating, deck air evacuation, and handicap access. You will have no problems finding ways to renovate your facility; finding the funding will be the tricky part.
But, municipalities all over the country are finding the funds. Sparta, in western Wisconsin, spent $4.5 million to renovate their facility originally built in 1946. They had a great site and the hole already dug, so renovation made sense. Of course, with renovation comes closure. King County, Washington is renovating their 2500 seat facility Read the rest of this entry »
Hudsonville High Implements UV
Hudsonville High School took the leap and installed an ultra violet light disinfection system (UV). This ETS installation was installed vertically (accepted installation) for space constraint situations.
Like all other installs, piping is schedule 80 PVC. With ETS's thyristor technology, this unit actually only runs at 50% power to provide the MAHC validated dose of 65 mj. This saves the Client bulb life AND energy costs. ETS has an industry leading 5 year manufacturers limited warranty!!!
But wait…..there are things you need to know to activate and maintain this warranty. The unit must be serviced, by your local ETS distributer, per the manufacturers written instructions. The minimal maintenance and services performed at these bi-annual visits not only extend the life of the unit overall, but do maintain the superior warranty.
All and all, a clean install and a satisfied school district, now lovingly protected in the hands of UV Disinfection….Nice job Hudsonville, and we look forward to seeing UV on your new facility next year!
Watch this slide show video to see the highlights from the project.
Nick Shelton, Aquatic Source
Renovations at Lochmoor Country Club
After 15 plus years of a residential style liner in their 10' x 20' x 18" kiddy pool, Lochmoor Country Club decided it was time for a face lift! While liners have their place in Aquatics, shallow water and even the commercial application are not ideal situations for liners…especially in outdoor pools. We pulled more caulk and patch off of this liner than actual vinyl!
Important note for a redo like this…..DONT FORGET TO HYDRO BLAST!! In order for the new marcite or other masonry surface to bond to the shell of the pool, ALL adhesives and other urethane based products must be completely stripped from the structure. If you have a liner pool, expect your cost to be higher on the switch to marcite as hydro-blasting is not a well populated trade and it can be costly. If your contractor does not mention it in their proposal…..you might want to get the proverbial second opinion.
After the urethane is stripped, Read the rest of this entry »
Key Considerations When Building a Splash Pad
- by Paul Steinbach, originally published in Athletic Business
With little or no standing water (and thus no lifeguard staffing requirements), but a wide range of water-play options, splash pads represent a natural evolution of the backyard sprinkler cool-down concept. "The nice thing about splash pads in open parks is they're very cross-generational," says Ron Romens, owner and president of Commercial Recreation Specialists in Verona, Wis. "They represent a space where parents and grandparents can bring kids. Read the rest of this entry »

Why Did Starfleet Allow Families Aboard the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation?
Answer by Dan Holliday:
So the reason is rooted in Gene Roddenberry's half-baked ideas about the future and his obsession with peace. Roddenberry was incredibly scarred by World War II, and he was obsessed with a future of peaceful exploration of the galaxy. While he accepted that there might be "others" outside of the Federation that were not idealists, for him the size of the United Federation of Planets' space was so vast that the Galaxy-class ships would have families for their pathfinder voyages.
What Subjects Should Teachers Cover That They Often Don't?
Answer by Peter Baskerville, vocational teacher:
Teach people how to learn. As the 20th-century U.S. historian, journalist, novelist, and educator Henry Adams explained: "They know enough who know how to learn."
Technology today is not just causing change but accelerating it. Knowledge is growing at an exponential rate, rather than at a linear rate that had been the norm up until the 1960s. Today, knowledge is estimated to be doubling every 13 months, as shown by this chart on medical knowledge growth published on 2020 Vision: Curriculum Renewal Project.
What Should You Talk About on a First Date?
Answer by Ian Morgan:
A first date is not the time to hash out the deep, existential viewpoints. This should be obvious. Sadly, our world is cluttered with facts that should be obvious but all too often are not. What is less obvious is that you should not go into a first date with the idea that you will end up in bed. Hey, if it happens, good for you, but don't "expect" it.
How Physically Intense Is Ballet?

Here's one way to look at it: Have a look at what happens to a ballerina's feet. I'm not going to post a picture, because it's not for the weak of stomach, but here's a link to a Google image search.
That kind of damage comes from spending hours a day training. They move as if they don't weigh anything at all, but that's a carefully crafted illusion: They move that way because they are intensely strong. They combine that strength with a grace that comes from practicing the same moves over and over and over until it looks as if it's weightless.
What Is Daily Life Like With Alzheimer's Disease?
Answer by Jae Starr, 15-plus years working with Alzheimer's and related dementias:

First, it depends upon the stage of dementia: mild, moderate, or severe.
What's It Like to Discuss the Holocaust With a Survivor?
Answer by Joshua Kaplan:
I am an Orthodox Jewish guy, so as you can imagine, I have met many Holocaust survivors over the years. Until I got married, however, I did not get to actually discuss with any of them their personal Holocaust stories in a detailed way. I do have lots and lots of relatives who did experience the Holocaust, but those relatives did not survive. The first time I did actually have the opportunity to have a discussion with a survivor was when I got married.
Is Resisting Arrest Ever Legal?
Answer by Tim Dees, retired cop and criminal justice professor, Reno Police Department, Reno Municipal Court, and Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Police Department:
Possibly, depending on which state you happen to be in. Some states expressly grant the right to resist an unlawful arrest, and a few others expressly prohibit it.
That said, I would never advise someone to resist arrest, even if he or she knows the arrest was improper or unlawful. The cop's trained reaction to resistance is to increase the level of force to overcome the resistance. Since he has the immediate capacity to take that level all the way to deadly force, you're rolling the dice in a very dangerous game.
Was Voldemort a Virgin?
This question originally appeared on Quora.
Answer by Sandhya Ramesh:
My first instinct was to laugh at this question, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized how very valid this question is. It begs us to explore into Voldemort's character.
Did Voldemort ever have sex? We don't explicitly know, but it's easy to guess. Voldemort is a very unifaceted, one-dimensional character. He's evil, and that's about all. There are no layers of complexity to his persona, unlike Dumbledore or even Draco Malfoy. We know that Voldemort was incapable of love. He did not love anyone, and did not care to be loved. He felt nothing for his family, and only wanted his friends in school to rally around him because he wanted to hold power over them. Bellatrix Lestrange was obviously in love with him and worshiped him, but he only cared for her servitude, not her. We know that he did not date anyone, even when at Hogwarts.
But sex is different from love. While love often accompanies sexual desires, it's perfectly possible for a person to have sex independent of emotions, or to use it as a weapon to exert power and machismo. We see it around us in the media all the time: a prime example being James Bond. Sex is instinctive and offers one of the highest forms of pleasure. To most people, that is. Voldemort, in my opinion, was above that. He would have looked at sexual desire as a weakness—something that could be exploited and used against him, something that would distract him from his goal of immortality. Sex is a basic human need, and Voldemort wanted to distance himself from being human as much as possible. He would abhor the physical union of a man and a woman's body (or a man and a man's). In fact, I believe he was too consumed by megalomania to share his body with anyone else at all. To him, his body was his own, and was made to experiment with.
Voldemort was also a psychopath, and psychopaths have a very deviant sexuality (in most cases of real life examples). If anything at all got Voldemort sexually excited, it was the prospect of power—power to kill, not power to rape. Anywhere we find sexual undertones to his character, it has been just before a display of power and has also been homoerotic—when Harry and Riddle meet at the Chamber of Secrets, when Voldemort is about to get his body back in the graveyard, when he and Harry are in the cage, etc. J.K. Rowling's language is very vivid when she describes these scenes. The words are soft, slippery, dangerous, and filled with sexual connotations. She especially describes Voldemort's long fingers, his silky voice, his nostrils flaring up in excitement, his heavy breathing, his gently caressing his wand. She uses words like penetrate, forcibly taken, and many other euphemisms for rape. However, in my opinion, these lines of text written with the sole purpose of making the reader aware of Lord Voldemort's perversion (and for us to be disgusted by him), and to possibly hint that power to kill is the only thing that got him sexually excited. Whether Rowling really intended for her words to have erotic connotations is almost irrelevant as she achieved the sole purpose of using them—to make our skin crawl, to make us understand that Voldemort is perverse, loves danger, and is to be feared.
Sex also has a evolutionary purpose, but Voldemort didn't care for his bloodline. He never expressed any kind of desire to have progeny, because, I'm sure, he didn't think there was any woman who was worth carrying his child. Voldemort is very dismissive of women in general. I'm not equating my previous homoeroticism point with misogyny here, but his dealings with female characters have been very indicative of how less he accepts and values members of the female gender. He finds Ginny boring, he demeans Lily Potter's love (including his infamous "Stand aside, girl!" line—he doesn't want to bother with her), he uses disturbingly casual language when talking about how he violated Bertha Jorkins, he is disinterestedly sadistic about the female teacher he tortures in Malfoy's house. Reiterating, I don't think he was misogynistic. He just didn't bother to think women important and didn't find them interesting, even as victims. The sole exception was Bellatrix Lestrange, and again, for her unwavering loyalty. When he talked about one of the characters being pregnant, he uses the word mated. That's how impersonal fornication and reproduction with women is to him.
However, despite his own views about himself engaging in a sexual act, I do believe he knew exactly how much other people valued sex, attraction, and love. He is often described as being irresistibly handsome as Tom Riddle, and he is sure to have known that. With people like Hepzibah Smith, he played her attraction toward him to achieve his means. When he became Lord Voldemort, he had reached a stage where he had a faithful base and didn't need to charm anyone to get his way. Even more so because he had lost so much of humanity in his transformations, he had only the basic human need for survival: food. By the time he was Lord Voldemort (despite what I said earlier about the graveyard scene), Tom Riddle had become fully and completely asexual.
So my answer to the question is yes, Lord Voldemort was a virgin.

What's it Like to Act in The Americans Versus in a Movie?
Answer by Noah Emmerich, actor, FBI agent Stan Beeman on the FX series The Americans:
The biggest difference is obviously that in a film you know the entirety of the story before you begin. You have done your homework, and you know everything about this contained universe, and the work is done pretty much in advance.

From the Director
Our mandate to show the art of the world gives us a good bit of latitude, but it is important to consider the thinking behind this concept. We are bombarded by thousands of images each day that contain overt and subtle messages. Visual literacy is as important as the ability to read words and understand their meaning in context. Our goal in presenting exhibitions from all cultures and all mediums is to expose our viewers to many different ways of seeing the world.
This summer we are presenting a novel exhibition in the Ingram Gallery, Watch Me Move: The Animation Show. It offers a broad look at the evolution of moving images from the nineteenth century to today. Animation is almost universally appealing, and as such can be so disarming that we are caught off guard. It can also be a powerful vehicle for delivering poignant messages. This takes us back to the importance of acquiring visual literacy so we can decipher subtle and subliminal messaging not only in art but also in our everyday lives.
Watch Me Move is composed of hours of video presentations. To see it all requires multiple visits. We hope your schedule will allow you to visit the Frist many times this summer so you can delve more deeply into the pleasures and mysteries of animation.
Regardless of whether you see the exhibition once or repeatedly, any time invested will be rewarding. Please join us.
Susan H. Edwards, Ph.D.
