Three things came as huge surprises about the Novato resident, Jane Parkhurst, known worldwide as G.I Jane. First, she's only 5-foot-4 and 110 pounds. "Size has nothing to do with anything," she asserts, then laughs: "Mighty things come in small packages."
The second surprise is that she joined the Army when she was already in her 30s. Getting in narrowly under the cut-off age of 32, Jane left her job as a small town police officer in 1990, at the start of Operation Desert Storm. The male-only military occupational skills training she underwent, as depicted in the '97 film starring Demi Moore, came four years later when she was 35 years old. She was the first woman to complete the training.
Parkhurst says the military higher-ups who asked her to volunteer for the assignment didn't even think of her age at the time.
"I was getting high scores in physical tests, had good command presence, good evaluations and showed very good leadership in my unit," she says. Jutting out her elbow as she raises her hand high, as if of its own volition, she laughs and says, "I also had this thing in my shoulder where I kept volunteering."
So not only was she the first and only woman in her military occupational skills training, she was also the oldest person by almost a decade.
The third surprise is the biggest yet: The movie was already made before Parkhurst knew anything about it. Yet it was clearly inspired by her story and acknowledged as so by the Army after the fact.
With a shrug, she say, "You can't sue the Army."
According to Parkhurst, 80 percent of the film is "right on," down to things she said and photographs from her file. There was no use of double standards in her training, and the scene in which she shaves her head in an empty barbershop is accurate.
OK, so I ask her if the Master Chief (played by Viggo Mortensen in the film) really quoted D.H. Lawrence. I'm referring to the poem "Self Pity," referred to both in the beginning and at end of the film:
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
Yes, she heard that one, she tells me. "We really like it (poetry) in the military," she says. "Sometimes poetry, sometimes historical quotes — it soothes us. A lot of officers from West Point are taught English lit and they quote a lot of poetry. People actually learn better if they listen to inspirational type things rather than a lecture."
(Jane, who grew up in the '60s and 70s with undiagnosed dyslexia, says she learned how to compensate early for her weaknesses, including the learning disability as well as her small size.)
The Master Chief giving her the book at the end with his war medal was "pure Hollywood" she tells me, as was another 20 percent of the movie, including her unit being diverted from training to do an extraction in Libya.
As she nestles in the over-stuffed leather chair near a large picture window overlooking open space in her rustic, hillside Atherton home, Parkhurst seems comfortable in her skin and I ask her if that's indeed true. She nods and smiles. Remembering all the one-armed push-ups and brutal physical challenges in the movie, I ask her how she felt about her body during that training. Were you punishing it? A friend to it? What?
"Well, I would think, 'Don't give up now,' she says and laughs, "and I used to say I'm always praying my warranty won't expire yet."
Parkhurst's fitness score when she went into the Army was 290 (300 is a perfect score). She was always in the highest 10 percent of fitness standards in the military and later received a commendation for keeping her unit at the highest level of fitness.
"I make it a game even now," she says. "Every time after I use the bathroom, I wash my hands, and do 25 quick push-ups against the sink."
The lifelong elite athlete is now 53. Married to Doug Parkhurst for over two decades, the couple moved from Mill Valley to Novato several years ago "after seeing American flags on the streets," as Doug Parkhurst says.
"The Army has been exceptionally good for me in so many ways," Jane Parkhurst says. "I never push it on anybody, because it's not for everybody. Jobwise, they train you — I could be a surgical technician in any hospital, a paramedic. I'm a weapons expert. It gives you three squares (meals), a roof over your head, stability, medical and dental." She flashes a big smile of perfect teeth.
She uses the words guts and tenaciousness several times during our conversation, making it obvious that they are big in her vocabulary and her life. And that's not a big surprise.
Happy Veterans Day to all our troops!

Dr Evans, director of the University of Sydney's archaeological research centre in Cambodia, said the ''eureka moment'' in the discovery came weeks earlier when the lidar data popped up on a computer screen. ''With this instrument - bang - all of a sudden we saw an immediate picture of an entire city that no one knew existed which is just remarkable,'' he said.Mahendraparvata, as the city is known, is estimated to be 350 years older than the UNESCO Heritage site of Angkor Wat, built on on Phnom Kulen before Jayavarman II descended from the mountain to build another capital. As Dr Evans said ''This is where it all began, giving rise to the Angkor civilisation that everyone associates with Angkor Wat." The news comes on the heels of the recent repatriation of looted archeological treasures back to Cambodia by the New York Metropolitan museum.

Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's hit with calls to delist Tyson drink
By John Reynolds, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Friday, 25 January 2013 09:49AM
Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda are facing calls to stop selling an energy drink whose brand ambassador is the convicted rapist Mike Tyson and uses the advertising slogan, "sexenergy".
The drink, called Black Energy, is Polish. It is sold in the UK in Tesco, Sainsbury and Asda.
Tyson, once the most feared man in boxing, is the drink's brand ambassador and features in its advertising campaign, which claims to offer "sexenergy."
Tyson was convicted for rape in 1992.
The supermarkets have been hit by consumer complaints while an online campaign to get the drink thrown out of stores is being deluged with signatures.
A spokeswoman for the charity Rape Crisis said: "It is deplorable that supermarkets think it is appropriate to revere the rapist Mike Tyson and put him in a position that implies young people should trust his judgments and buy a drink that he promotes.
"When he was in that position of trust he raped women abusing any trust that society should have in him."
Campaigning group Mumsnet also hit out at the supermarkets.
Justine Roberts, founder of Mumsnet, said: "Lots of Mumsnet users are disappointed that the likes of Tesco, Asda and Sainsbury's are stocking a product endorsed by convicted rapist, Mike Tyson, and would rather that someone who showed little remorse for his behaviour wasn't given the opportunity to cash in on his notoriety."
The manufacturer of Black Energy is understood to have altered the packaging and has removed an image of Tyson from the can in the English market. But Tyson's name is still on the packaging and the drink carries a clear association with the boxer.
None of three supermarket giants have plans to delist the drink, despite the outcry.
A spokesperson for Tesco said the drink was popular with its Polish customers adding that "we understand that some of our customers have raised concerns about the products and we have worked hard with the supplier to alter the packaging of the product."
Sainsbury said a "small number of people have contacted us about the marketing campaign which the company makes Black Energy is currently running. We are closely monitoring this and will pass on these concerns to the owner of Black Energy."
Asda also said it was monitoring the situation.

Shaun Mullen resides in a costal town in the UK and works on a British Defense contract as a senior electrical commissioning engineer. In his spare time, he enjoys creating art... not just any art, but rich worlds with tremendous depth and detail. It is our pleasure at SketchBook News to share not only a little about Shaun, but also two incredible tutorials that provide deeper insight on his techniques and process.
In His Own Words:
A new idea or theme can come from the simplest of phrases or from something I've seen or read. My personal work is generally based on environments as I really enjoy creating new worlds, sometimes an idea can come from random strokes of colour or quick strokes of a pencil, you could compare it too seeing forms and shapes in clouds, I guess.
Anything can trigger me to start a new painting which is why the iPad and SketchBook Pro have become an essential tool for my art, I can pick it up anytime of the day and instantly get the idea down. There are times when its harder to be creative and I've found the more I try the worse it gets, especially when a deadline looms, best to sit it down, grab a coffee and relax. Leaving a painting for a little while can really help illustrate any errors in composition or colour mixes.
When working in the engineering sector everything is more precise and most complex systems have specific methods and restrictions in place which are to ensure health & safety, reduce the risk of damage and catastrophic failure. With art, although there are principles and methods there is much more freedom to push those methods to find something more personal and intuitive. I think engineering has given me more structure and a little more discipline to continue with a painting when things aren't going as well as I would like.
I work quite quickly and I like a set up where everything is within easy reach, I like to be able to flick between tools instantly and configure them to my liking. I gelled with SketchBook Pro 'straight out the box' as it gave me the tools, options and configurations I required and it had the ability to produce professional standard work. I've noticed that the quality of my work has increased as my understanding and control of SBP has improved, through learning the program I can now configure it to replicate a multitude of strokes and effects for best results.

Southwest Riverside County wedding vendors are coming together to give a local wounded veteran the wedding of a lifetime.
Cpl. Juan Dominguez is set to marry his fiancée, Alexis, in a luxurious wedding in Temecula Valley Wine Country later this month. The two have been engaged since February 2012 after meeting at a parade when Dominguez returned from U.S. Marine Corps combat service in Afghanistan. He lost both legs and his right arm in an explosion in 2010.
Everything for the event, from the reception venue and rehearsal dinner to the entertainment, photography, flowers, cake and makeup, is being donated by various local busiesses to the young couple.
âItâs fantastically awesome,â said wedding coordinator Jennifer Molloy of Amore Events. âIâm getting really excited for our couple.â
The wedding will be held April 27 at Wilson Creek Winery with a rehearsal dinner being donated by South Coast Winery. In total, Molloy said the wedding, expected to serve 150 guests, would cost roughly $30,000.
âIâm not surprised at all that everybody literally just jumped at the chance to help and be a part of it because thatâs really what makes this town amazing,â Molloy said. âTheyâre literally the best of what California has to offer.â
Dominguez could not be reached for comment Monday, April 15.
Additional donors include photography by RK Green Studios of Temecula; the wedding cake by Cakes to Celebrate in Temecula; DJ and reception lighting by Timmy D Productions of Murrieta; ceremony music by Windwild Music Ensembles from Murrieta; videography by Roldan Productions of Temecula; hair and makeup by Benjamin Robin, who is the personal makeup artist to actor Gary Sinise, and by Murrieta Day Spa and Sola Salon; and flowers by MFG Floral Designs and Events.
The wedding is a third major showing of support by Southwest Riverside County residents for Dominguez.
Residents helped raise money for the construction of a $600,000 smart house built in Temecula specifically for Dominguez. The home was built in coordination by the Gary Sinise Foundation and the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, named for a firefighter who died on 9/11.
Dominguez said he chose Temecula as his new home for its proximity to San Diego, where he receives physical therapy. Although he uses a wheelchair to move around, he also is learning to walk with prosthetic limbs.
âHeâs going to walk and dance at his wedding,â Molloy said. âItâs amazing.â

PLEASE NOTE: Due to maintenance of a failed mechanical part of the dome, Washburn Observatory is closed until further notice. We expect repair work to take about a month, until early June.
The Washburn open house schedule is listed on the department event calendar. In general, the open house sessions are scheduled according to the following rules:
January: 7:30-9:30 PM, 3rd Wednesday

"We got abused on the backboard, and when we needed to take care of the ball, we didn't do it.''
Illinois junior guard Tracy Abrams admitted that hearing his coach talk about his team's lack of toughness was something that he enjoyed.
"As a leader, I put that on my shoulders,'' he said. "I have to do a better job of preparing my guys and myself to be tough.''
When asked if the fact that a few of the Fighting Illini, like junior guard Rayvonte Rice, are dealing with some nagging injuries, Abrams was cut off by his coach.
"We have no excuses,'' Groce said.
And Abrams echoed his coach's statements, basically saying that wasn't a factor.
Later, Groce acknowledged that Illinois did have a little different type of practice on Tuesday as Rice was being treated for strained abductor and other players had some bumps and bruises.
"We are nicked up a little bit,'' he said. "But, we put five guys out there and they put five guys other. It's January and this is Big Ten basketball. Every team has to deal with that.''
In the first half, it didn't look like Rice was suffering with any kind of an injury as he scored 10 points and pulled down four rebounds. But in the second half, Purdue limited the 6-foot-4 junior guard from Champaign Centennial to just one point and one field goal attempt.
"Not really,'' said Painter when asked if the Boilermakers made any changes at halftime on Rice. "We just tried to keep the ball in front of us. We tried to keep him off his right hand. Basically, we didn't want him to work downhill going to his right. We tried to work towards that.''
And Rice wasn't the only Illini perimeter player to find the going a lot tougher in the second half.

David Hills takes reins at BuzzLogic; IPG Media Lab fills leadership posts; another Yahoo reorg.
BuzzLogic named Dave Hills, formerly of LookSmart and 24/7 Real Media, as its CEO.

He said BuzzLogic's socially-oriented network helps brands be part of the conversation. The company also announced promotions to its executive team, including the addition of Jay Budzik to its board.

A recent audit of the village of Port Jefferson by State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli found the municipality paid $1.5 million to vendors and service providers without seeking competitive bids.
DiNapoli's audit, released today, stated the village had not established competitive bidding policies for the contracting of goods and services.
As a result, $691,000 was paid to vendors and $811,000 was paid to service providers, both without soliciting competitive bids.

The money was used for the buying of goods including fertilizer for the golf course and parks department, light posts and concrete, and services such as insurance and legal services from three different law firms and an environmental consultant.
In some instances, the village indicated it was using entities the town or county had selected through competitive bidding and didn't believe it needed to engage in such a bid.
Furthermore, DiNapoli's audit found issues with payroll procedures, including failure to maintain leave records that saw one employee credited with nearly $30,000 in unauthorized vacation leave.
Port Jefferson Mayor Margot Garant did not immediately respond to requests for comment, although DiNapoli noted in his audit that village officials "generally agreed with the recommendations [of the audit] and planned to take corrective action."

Norwegian conceptual artist Rune Guneriussen explores a fascinating balance of human culture and nature with his outdoor installations of electric lamps, stacked books, chairs, and phones that appear to have gathered in small herds and swarms as if suddenly sentient. Each work is assembled and photographed on-site without any digital intervention in various rural locations around Norway.

Globe Jotter
These wonderful hand-painted globes are by Laura Maxcy, of Mississippi. Each vintage globe is drawn on directly using paint pens and then sprayed with a protective coating.
As someone who's not a fan of the pastiche quote posters that seem so ubiquitous, I love the connection between the sayings, the lettering and the globes. It's this combination that gives the otherwise trite captions a twist of wit and whim.
"Although I got my degree in graphic design, I needed a creative outlet that didn't involve staring at a computer screen all day. I started hand-lettering quotes on vintage landscape prints I found at a thrift store, with which I planned to decorate a room in my house. Instead I decided to list them on Etsy, along with my painted globes. Each of my items are definitely unique and one-of-a-kind."

19th District officers responded to a shooting on 5300 block of Market Street that left a 29 year woman dead and a 34-year-old woman injured.
Police arrived on the scene just after 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning, finding 29-year-old Melissa Thomas shot twice on the left side of her chest. She was pronounced dead on the scene.
Police then discovered a 34-year-old woman who was shot once on her left arm. The victim told officers that two black males wearing black hooded sweatshirts approached and robbed them at gun point.
After taking both victims' belongings, one of the males fired at them several times as they ran north bound on 53rd St.
The investigation for this shooting is ongoing. The city is offering a $20,000 reward for the arrest of the suspects.
Anyone with information about this shooting is asked to contact the Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334/3335.

Michael Staley 1 month, 2 weeks ago on Peggy Weaver: Regulate fireworks
Peggy Weaver: Regulate fireworks
This part of her letter resonates the most: "take it to the limits until after midnight". The idiots in the Mountain Area were regularly setting off loud explosions until after 3:30am this year. Which, of course, is no longer even on Independence Day! Anyone, who complains is labeled "unpatriotic" - and anyone who doesn't complain is either a liar, or doesn't have a family or a job they care about!

How about refusing to stop at stop signs when there are clearly no pedestrians or other vehicles around? Some intersections could be grandfathered in without stop signs, and there is no way to know by looking at the stop sign if it was put in with the intersection or after the fact..

A wise man once said to me, "A failure is not a failure. A failure is a stepping stone" (Okay he didn't say it to me, he said it to an auditorium full of people but I was reallyyy close to the front and I'm pretty sure we made eye contact and so let's just pretend, okay?).
I've taken those words to heart these past couple of weeks when I just couldn't seem to get it right in the kitchen. I had high hopes for a lot of my experiments but they all sort of botched… If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably been witnessing it all along.
I couldn't tear the skin from my roasted poblano, which turned into a slimy green mess; I think I overstuffed my chorizo and kale quiche, which prevented the milk/egg mixture from spreading throughout and holding it together; the blueberry jam cooked right through my almond flour shortbread cookie, thus ruining the blueberry jam bars I had planned for Valentine's Day; the empanadas I made with the all-purpose gluten-free flour were decent but sort of bland and I noticed the fillings didn't reheat well; my skillet cornbread just isn't rising; and, lastly, I tried to recreate an incredible soup I had made before but I didn't have chicken stock and I made the mistake of using too much chicken bouillon and it was just so salty; and, and, and, as my people say, "Ay yi yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii."
Failing at something you love to do is hard but, lucky for you, I am not easily discouraged. I already have a plan of action for my next batch of empanadas (pretty sure this recipe will be "the one"), I made an even better blueberry jam than the last time and can't wait to battle those shortbread cookies again, I whipped up my best banana bread yet at Big Papa T's request, anddd I made the most heavenly roasted garlic-infused butter everrrrrr.
A wise women once told me, "When everything seems to be going wrong, there is one thing that will always make it right. And that thing is butter." Just kidding, I made that up right now. But it's true.
Roasted Garlic-Infused Butter
Recipe slightly modified from Simply Scratch
- one cup (two sticks) of salted butter
- one head of garlic
- one tablespoon of olive oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and set the butter on the counter so that it comes to room temperature.
Slice the bottom (?) or I suppose we can call it the "fat end" of the garlic, so that all of the cloves are exposed. Dab some olive oil on it.
Place in a baking tray and cover completely with foil.
Roast for one hour. Breathe in that delicious garlic-y aroma.
Let cool before touching. Squeeze the magical gooeyness out of the cloves; it almost seems to spill out like custard.
Add this to the food processor with the butter and olive oil and blend until smooth, scraping the sides as you go. It might take a while to maneuver all of the cloves into the center of the processor to be blended.
Drop garlic butter onto some wax paper, roll it up and store it in the fridge for later use.
Slather it all over your english muffin, toast, bagel or ice cream for all I care; this shit is GOOD.

Pampering is at the heart of Becoming Mom Pregnancy Spa & Imaging Center. When the center's founder came upon 3D and 4D ultrasounds, she was searching for a way to help expectant parents bond even more deeply with their babies and therefore become more invested in fostering positive development. The technology that ended up becoming the cornerstone of her business allowed parents to see a high-definition image of their growing baby's face instead of just a fuzzy blob that only doctors and Rorschach specialists could understand. But then she went one step further. She began tending to both the emotional and physical needs of mothers-to-be by offering prenatal massages and luxurious pedicures.
While the hearts, minds, and bodies of expectant mothers may be the central focus at Becoming Mom Pregnancy Spa & Imaging Center, the spa offers an additional source of comfort?retail therapy. The Becoming Mom Boutique outfits patrons with chic maternity wear, nursing fashions, parenting essentials, and discomfort-fighting goodies such as B-Natal pops, which help ease morning sickness.
Treatments and experiences are one at the same at All Nailed Up by Dana. Take, for instance, the Hawaiian Tropical mani-pedi. Just one of the salon's featured services, it includes an exfoliating sugar scrub and aromatherapuetic mask to accompany the traditional nail care treatments. Other nail treatments here include hot stone massages, warm paraffin applications, and gel manicures.
The pros at Emma's Spa wield a single piece of cotton thread with the same grace as people did during ancient times, quickly removing unwanted hair on upper lips, chins, or brows. Other services offered at the spa aren't as old as threading, but still pamper patrons all the same. Facials gently scrap away dull skin and massages keep cranky muscles at bay. They experts also dispense manicures that leave all eleven fingers extra sparkly.
The stylists at Mitchell's Salon & Day Spa have beautified Cincinnati-area clients for the past 30 years. During that time, the staff has grown to more than 400 employees across five locations. They've also garnered several press mentions, including their most recent victory in The Knot's Best of Weddings 2013. These accolades are all possible because of the meticulous care that the salon pours into both its posh ambiance and soothing treatments. Stylists perfect 'dos with haircuts and smoothing keratin treatments, and aestheticians perform antioxidant facials, which make the skin more resilient against hazards such as environmental damage and cheek-pinching aunts.
It's all about color at Prestige Nails & Tans, Inc.—you can give your skin a sun-kissed glow or get glossy hues for your fingernails. For the former, the salon has 12 European high-intensity tanning machines, which yield dark, natural tones that mimic a day at the beach or an apprenticeship as a campfire marshmallow.
For nail services, Prestige's technicians utilize Tammy Taylor, OPI, and CND products. The result: perfectly manicured acrylic, Shellac, or natural nails. During European Touch spa pedicures, clients relax in Relaxor heated massage chairs while their feet indulge in a warm, soothing soak. Prestige's nail techs can also turn their attention to children for birthday parties, which foreshadow the pampered luxury that comes with being an adult.
Stylist Nikeya Wallace skillfully crafts new hairdos at Becoming of You Hair Salon. She deftly snips away excess locks while styling 'dos with blow-dry services and softens hair with conditioning treatments. She also adds bursts of color with partial or full highlights. At the full-service salon, customers will also find keratin treatments and products from brands such as Matrix and Paul Mitchell.

Patriots stuck in tight spot
Patriots stuck in tight spot
But draft crop deep
But draft crop deep
FOXBORO - Twice under coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots used a prized first-round selection on a tight end. Fifteen have gone in the opening round of the draft over the past 10 seasons, and the Patriots plucked two of them.
Perhaps that illustrates the value Belichick places on the multifaceted position. Yet the steady 2002 pick, Daniel Graham, now plays for the Broncos. The underperforming 2004 pick, Benjamin Watson, now plays for the Browns.
Suddenly, the hole in the roster is gaping, even with veteran blocker Alge Crumpler joining the Pats.

Lely Astronaut A4 milking robot lets cows milk themselves

With this robotic milker, the farmer needn't come any closer to the action than a readout on a smartphone, leaving the cows to get on with the milking themselves. Read More

I have been using Google Earth for a while now and although it's impressive the detail in my home town is extremely low. Then I found out about Flash Earth, admittedly it doesn't have the slick interface of Google's effort and it is a bit slow to load but what it does offer is high resolution images of my local area.
Now maybe I'm in the minority here as regards Google Earth's coverage but if you are in the same boat as me give it a try, you might be amazed at what you'll find.

[HELP] JavaScript Auto Message
Could someone figure out why this is not working, I've looked at it for hours now, its probably because im tired but I just cant figure it out.
Okay basically there is an API I am using and that all works fine, to be knowledge, which is "Models.chat.sendChat" Now I wanted to do an auto post every minute (possibly 5 minutes) of a random post. This is what I have got;
function speakAuto() { var responsesAuto = new Array ( "text0", "text1", "text2", "text3", "text4", "text5", "text6", "text7", "text8", "text9", "text10", "text11", "text12" ); var ind = Math.floor(Math.random() * 13); message = "/em"+responcesAuto[ind]+""; Models.chat.sendChat(message); } setTimeout(function(){speakAuto();}, 60000);
Ready to kick yourself?
If you would learn to use any of the debuggers, that error would have popped right out at you.Code:message = "/em"+responcesAuto[ind]+"";
But your code will only send *ONE* message, not repeating messages.
You need to use setInterval instead of setTimeout if you want it to keep repeating. Also, 60000 is one minute, not 5 minutes.
Finally, although your setTimeout as coded will work, it's kind of silly to create a function just for the purpose of calling another function.
TryOr, if you really want it to happen every five minutes, over and overCode:setTimeout( speakAuto, 60000 );
Code:setInterval( speakAuto, 300000 );

Oh, and what is the point of adding +"" to the end of message? In what way do you think that will change the contents of message?

Oh dear that was embarrassing!!
Thanks for that, yes the +"" was because more stuff was going to go afterwards originally. But that's removed now. I have set it now to 5 minutes per random message, was 1 minute to test it out, instead of having to wait 5 minutes.
I have cleaned it all up, and it works perfectly! Thanks!!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
"Once More to the Lake" is an essay first published in Harper's magazine in 1941 by author E. B. White. It chronicles his pilgrimage back to a lakefront resort, Belgrade Lakes, Maine, he visited as a child. [1]
In "Once More to the Lake," White revisits his ideal boyhood vacation spot. He finds great joy in his visit, which ironically causes him to struggle to remember that he is now a man.
The story shows White engaging in an internal struggle between acting and viewing the lake as he did when a boy and acting and viewing it as an adult, or as his father would have. Although White sees the lake as having remained nearly identical to the lake of his boyhood, technology mars his experience and the new, noisier boats disturb the serene atmosphere at the lake. This could be taken to suggest that technology is impure or damaging, except that the same paragraph contains a lengthy reminiscence in which White rhapsodizes about his boyhood affection for an old one-cylinder engine. The memory balances the theme of technology, suggesting that certain kinds of technology, if a person can "get close to it spiritually," are able to become almost a natural part of one's self. [2]
Throughout the essay, White writes that he often finds himself "seeing the lake through his son's eyes." This is due to the similarities of the lake at the present time compared to his childhood memory of the lake. For example, White states that he had gone fishing on the lake when he was a boy, and that while his rod was out, a dragonfly would repeatedly land on the tip of his pole. When he takes his son fishing during the trip, the same thing happens to the boy, and White says:
"I looked at the boy, who was silently watching his fly, and it was my hands that held his rod, my eyes watching. I felt dizzy and didn't know which rod I was at the end of."
The essay also shows White's realization of the life cycle. He takes his father's place on the trip, just as his son takes White's boyhood role. White, once the son, has become the father, and realizes that he will soon pass on as his own father presumably has. White references this in the final lines:
"I watched him, his hard little body, skinny and bare, saw him wince slightly as he pulled up around his vitals the small, soggy, icy garment.
As he buckled the swollen belt suddenly my groin felt the chill of death."
An alternate interpretation of the above quote elaborates on the last phrase regarding looming death. By watching his son's movements on the shores of the lake, White vicariously feels danger as he is reminded of perhaps a childhood encounter with death at the lake. Ultimately, White suggests that nature reminds us of mortality.
