Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Get swept off your feet with tale of timeless love
2Perhaps it's too quaint, a bit antiquated, and not in keeping with the hip/edgy/provocative nature of the current crop of boundary-pushing dramas that are the focus of most critical reviews these days. Maybe it's an adjective whose best years are behind it.
For today's TV column, however, it feels like just exactly the right word, because my goodness, Last Tango in Halifax is a lovely television program.
This new Brit-import drama, which premi®res Sunday at 8 p.m., on PBS, is as warm and charming and captivating and inspiring and, well, as lovely as any TV program could possibly be. It's a beautifully written and flawlessly performed celebration of the timeless nature of love, and it certainly deserves consideration in any discussion of this fall's best new prime-time programs.
Last Tango in Halifax stars Sir Derek Jacobi (The Borgias, The King's Speech) and Anne Reid (Upstairs, Downstairs) as Alan and Celia, a pair of widowed 70-somethings who courted briefly way back when they were teenagers in the early 1950s.
Each has secretly carried a torch for the other since a not-quite-random turn of events sent their lives spinning in separate directions, and now, fully six decades later, fate and luck and, thanks to their grandkids' prodding, Facebook have brought them back together.
At first, both Alan and Celia are a bit coy when they describe the new "pen-pal" relationship they've cultivated online. Perhaps it's a means to keep their meddlesome daughters from asking too many questions; more likely, however, the vague descriptions they each offer about this person they sort of think they might kind of remember from way back when are a gentle way of shielding their own hearts from disappointment should it turn out the other is, 60 years down life's winding road, either uninterested or uninteresting.
Secretly, however, each has vivid memories of the other and can't wait for an opportunity to meet face to face. And when they finally do, well, it's magic.
Because of their shared history, it can't be described as love at first sight, but what happens when Alan and Celia get together is something very special. There's a wonder and an unrestrained joy to the reunion, and the longer they talk, the more they're able to open up about the feelings they've harboured for each other all these years.
It doesn't take long for Alan and Celia to decide they belong together and that, given their ages, they should get down to the business of being in love as quickly as possible.
It also doesn't take long for their daughters -- Caroline (Sarah Lancashire), Celia's ambitious and tightly wound offspring, and Gillian (Nicola Walker), Alan's world-weary and too-young-widowed daughter -- to declare this newfound "love" as a trifle, a passing fancy that the silly old folks will soon leave behind.
There's nothing silly about it, of course. The silliness, and most of the sadness, in Last Tango in Halifax is found in the subplots involving the over-complicated lives of the younger folks. For Alan and Celia, what this is about is the endurance and endless possibilities of love.
The screenplay for this six-part series, written by Sally Wainwright, is a restrained and thoughtful masterpiece, but most of the credit for Last Tango's charm belongs to Jacobi and Reid, who fill each scene they share with perfect, wonderful moments.
There's a delicate intricacy to their work here; much of the acting they do involves close-ups in which each is reacting wordlessly to a thought or an feeling the other has unearthed or rekindled. Watching this pair of experienced hands explore their characters' emotions is a rare treat because every beat and every nuance is perfectly, genuinely delivered.
It's love, plain and simple. And it's lovely.

July 2, 2010
A 27-mile stretch of Interstate 295 is the first roadway in Virginia where motorists can drive legally drive 70 miles per hour.
Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling says Virginia has finally joined 33 other states in raising the speed limit above 65 miles per hour.
The 70 mph limit went into effect Thursday on a section of I-295 that runs east of Richmond to I-295's southern intersection with I-95 near Petersburg.
A law passed earlier this year by the General Assembly gives the Virginia Department of Transportation the authority to raise the speed limit on interstates and other limited-access highways.
VDOT has identified 741 miles of highway eligible for study for higher speeds.

Mass Transit:
FTA's New Starts Commitments for Fiscal Year 2003
GAO-02-603: Published: Apr 30, 2002. Publicly Released: Apr 30, 2002.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:

(202) 512-8984
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since the early 1970's, the federal government has provided a large share of the nation's capital investment in urban mass transportation. Much of this funding has come through the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) New Starts Program, which helps pay for rail, bus, and trolley projects. The Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century authorized about $6 billion in "guaranteed" funding for the New Starts program through fiscal year 2003. FTA's evaluation process assigns candidate projects individual ratings for project justification and local financial commitments. The process also assigns an overall rating intended to reflect the project's merit. FTA recommended four projects for funding commitments for fiscal year 2003 in its New Starts report and budget proposal. FTA evaluated 50 proposed projects for fiscal year 2003 and developed ratings for 31 of them. Twenty-seven of these projects were rated as "highly recommended" or "recommended." Although FTA has faced transit budget crunches for years, the agency will end the act's authorization period with $310 million in unused commitment authority. Proposals to limit the amount of New Starts funds would allow more projects to receive such funding, but could harm specific projects being developed and the local transportation planning process. For example, limiting New Starts funds to 60 percent of a project's cost for the 49 projects now in final design or preliminary engineering would "free up" $500 million for additional projects. However, only 20 percent of these projects plan to use New Starts funds for more than 60 percent of projected costs and would be affected by such a cap.

One of the world's largest independent offshore survey companies has announced a significant step forward in its growth plans with key appointments in Aberdeen and Naples.
UTEC has recently appointed new general managers Jamie Laing and Andrew Stenson in Aberdeen, Scotland and Naples, Italy respectively.
The Naples office welcomes Andrew Stenson who holds 25 years' experience in land, marine and transition zone surveys, working in a range of locations which include Europe, Africa, South America, Canada, Middle East as well as the Far East. His recent consultancy role allowed him to develop skills which include HSE management, financial budgeting and planning work progress, together with marketing and business development.
Commenting on his new role at UTEC, Andrew said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to work with a company that projects strong, forward-looking growth and development strategies. UTEC is uniquely placed to support a wide range of services and clients in a truly global manner."
Jamie Laing is based at UTEC's new Aberdeen offices. Jamie joined the oil and gas Industry in 1988, quickly moving to the offshore survey sector as an offshore surveyor. Since 1990 he has accumulated more than 22 years' management experience. Jamie joined UTEC in early 2009, initially working in the Middle East and then taking up the Survey Manager position in Aberdeen later that same year.
On his new role, Jamie said: "UTEC's recent growth in both this region and globally has been impressive and being part of that growth has been a great experience. I now look forward to continuing the development and promotion of the UTEC brand and services in my new position."
Managing director Kevin McBarron added: "Our focus on the growth of the business during 2012 created the requirement for this new role in Aberdeen and Jamie's broad ranging personal skills meant he was the right man for the job.
"In Naples, the culmination of the year's expansion plans led to the promotion of Carlo Pinto in the role of regional sales manager, so we are delighted that Andrew has accepted the general manager's position to further strengthen the team in Italy."
UTEC CEO Martin O'Carroll commented: "Bringing both Jamie and Andrew with their wealth of experience to the UTEC management team yet again demonstrates our commitment to building an exceptional team providing a credible alternative to incumbent regional survey providers."
UTEC is one of the world's largest independent offshore survey companies and provides a wide range of survey services including offshore positioning and construction support, geophysical and AUV surveys, dimensional control, laser scanning, modeling and geotechnical sampling. UTEC has offices located around the world including: Aberdeen, Houston, Singapore, Naples, Perth, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro and Calgary.

Bottom line, as with all the Hot Shots games (I have had enough golf though, thanks for the change Sony) Hots Shots Tennis is big on fun, end of story. [July 2007, p.63]
It's a solid if shallow title that lacks in content and difficulty but has a really well implemented engine.
Even with its foibles, it's a darn good time. It makes you want to play again. It continually induces high-stress profanity. It forces you to improve -- and with time, you do.
The game isn't perfect, but for anyone wanting to check out an arcade tennis title for the PS2 should definitely give this title a look.
Hot Shots Tennis, as you'd expect, looks like a kid's game, sounds like a kid's game, has the depth of a kid's game, but plays a very mature and fun game of tennis. Unfortunately, it's just not challenging enough and it doesn't have enough longevity for experienced sports gamers.
In the end, this one poses as a tennis game for beginners, but even tykes will only be mildly amused.
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 0 out of 2
AndymanJul 23, 2007I just love how these supposedly "professional" reviewers so casually dismiss the Hot Shots series. Had they given HST more than a passing glance, they'd have found themselves drawn into a tennis game that is superior in every way to every tennis game ever made. Yes, even the outstanding Virtua Tennis on the Dreamcast. HST's learning curve would be considered steep, but it has a very impressive Tutorial mode that makes getting accustomed to its innovative control scheme a breeze. In other words, HST may very well be the last genuine PS2 must-have game.… Expand
GeoffreyPJr.Dec 16, 2009The reviews were mixed from critics everywhere, and its clear to me that I will now play a game before I listen to everybody else. The gameplay is incredible for a tennis game - It's got a bit of a learning curve, but I've been in some very satisfying tennis matches with the game. The characters were quirky and cute, and the courts were decent enough with some memorable background music. The problem with the game lies with content and unlockables. There isn't a very large campaign mode, and it feels like with a little bit more polish, the game could even be better than Mario Tennis on N64. Granted, the PSP version of Hot Shots tennis aims to better itself by introducing rpg elements. But all in all, this PS2 outing has a great personality, and is sure to make you giddy every time you pop the disk into your player.… Expand

Letters To Ed :-)
"We've been duped by the Republicans. Kentucky Sen. and minority leader Mitch McConnell in a news conference one day after the election, stated that the single and sole goal of the GOP over the next two years is: to make Barack Obama a single term president. What an arrogant and obnoxious goal and statement. There agenda before the election was to get votes by promising that there first goals were jobs, the economy and health care reform. It seems their goal is to grab power, not to do things for the people that are in need of jobs and or unemployment pay, health care for those that don't have it, and the people losing their homes. This is the same party that wanted the auto plants and their suppliers to go out of business. We are just coming back from what they did to this country, and now we have them back to do the same things to our country again. What a mess the next two years is going to bring to this country. Talk about partisanship." Carl D. Leow Rogers Cit

Now hold on there jaxspp, you just can't start kicking on Stevie Fletcher like that, he has a lot of money in Alpena.
No Sir, first you have to look down and make sure that rshill or Freeman aren't down licking his boots or you may kick one of them in the head.

Stevie Fletcher says he is going to stop his column for awhile. Maybe they can check 3rd base for someone else who was born there and thinks they hit a triple.

Christie backed away from the gay marriage fight, and I believe supported instate tuition for illegal immigrants. I'll bet if I take a poll here in ATL that won't fly very well. It's a long way to 2016, I'll bet (dare I say it) Jebbie Bush could give him a run for his money in the South.

Another thing going for Christies is that he thinks the Tea Party is full of fools.
Posted 387 days ago.
Do not underestimate Christie he has charisma with the ability to project himself as good uncle in a family. After the storm he appeared genuinely devastated and concerned about the people that lived there.
He is not remotely anything like Mitt who didn't even know the name of the pastries sitting on the table in front of him; they are called Doughnuts you buffoon.

Now that the economy has recovered and people are again able to work the Tea Baggers are left to turning over rocks with the hope they can find something to blame President Obama for.

Why would g*i*r*t*h be censored?

surefoot, it seems that way, but there is a reason Romney vetted and rejected Christie other than his *****, which there are reports Romney mocked. Whatever it is about Christie will come out, and NJ will be vetted and discovered to still be a dump hole with little improvement under Christie.

Greetings from Dixie, Atlanta GA.
Haven't watched Billy since the 60's. I think you're right about Franklin, norm, because I don't recall Billy ever endorsing anyone until Romney, then he endorsed him and took Mormonism being a cult off his website. Franklin was smart enough to get straight and hop on the gravy train.
I will most likely watch Thursday Night Football.
Posted 387 days ago.
Much to the dislike of the Tea Baggers, Chris Christie will be the next GOP nominee in the 2016 election.
Now rshill will have to eat his words that he said about Chris after Chris welcomed and thanked President Obama for his help after the Sandy Storm.
The Tea Baggers are now relegated to the backwoods where they belong, just like embarrassing relatives are.

Billy Graham is an anachronistic religious figure who has avoided meddling in the political arena, unlike his son Franklin, who is attempting to hijack his father's legacy into the political realm, and his choice of guests illustrates just that. Franklin is NO Billy.
Posted 387 days ago.
Billy Graham? You mean the 95 year old man who will have a birthday party, featuring Donald Trump and Sarah Palin? No thanks, I prefer Graham Parker.

I hope everyone will be able to watch the Billy Graham special Thursday evening.

There are also four "blood moons" coming up, along with a solar eclipse, beginning this Spring. Here's the thing. They all fall on Jewish feast days including Passover twice, The Feast Of Tabernacles twice, and the solar eclipse on Rosh Hashanah.

The Messiah has revealed to me that He will not present Himself until after the death of our prime minister, Ariel Sharon."
Just a little more than two months later, events took an eerie turn as Ariel Sharon, the 11th prime minister of Israel, suffered a massive stroke and lapsed into a coma, a state in which he remains to date.
Then 24 days after Sharon's medical calamity, Rabbi Kaduri himself died after a brief bout with pneumonia.
Before his death, the rabbi had left a mysterious letter, which he instructed was to be unsealed a year after his own death.
When it was finally made public, the name of the Messiah whom Kaduri met after years of praying and fasting was Yehoshua – the formal name for Yeshua, or Jesus in the Greek."
How unusual is that?
Posted 388 days ago.
'Infinity' suggests 'unbounded by space, time, and quantity', which is anything BUT creation. Again, you cannot use a bible to explain science.
Posted 388 days ago.
"Rabbi Kaduri, a celebrated figure for decades in Judaism, as a person you'd least expect to carry the torch for Jesus, proclaiming His name not only to Jews, but to others across the globe.
"I have met the Messiah," Kaduri told his followers on the Day of Atonement in 2005.
"He has appeared to me in a vision. He has attached his soul to a particular person in Israel. I will spend this day teaching you how to recognize the Messiah, for He shall appear soon. You must be ready for His coming. Many events of awe will take place before His coming … but they will happen quickly.'"
As the rabbi commanded everyone's undivided attention and with all eyes in the congregation fixed on their beloved teacher, Kaduri somberly continued: "I must tell you something disturbing.
"I have no specific information to give you on the following matter other than what I am about to share with you now …

Jax mentioned that the federal funding of the medicaid expansion would only drop to 90% by 2020. He's right, however, the 90% funding is only for the expanded population. That's the problem.
The issue is that the Michigan taxpayer will be left holding the bag for a much larger population of Medicaid recipients. The governor has some good ideas that he attached as a condition to the acceptance of the expansion funding, we'll see.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Pandora Media Inc shares slid more on Thursday, touching a 52-week low after the Internet radio service operator's disappointing results last week, but trading in the options market showed some expect the share price to recover.
Pandora shares have shed nearly a fifth of their value since Oct. 23, when it reported a lower-than-expected increase in listeners in the third quarter. The shares were down 3.3 percent to $18.59 on Thursday. But the weakness prompted some bullish bets on the stock in the options market.

After a gorgeous long fall weekend tramping around ponds and through pastures in search of sculpture, while oohing and aahing over the upstate New York autumnal palette of greens, yellows, oranges, and reds, I got a nice welcome back to work today. My first Forrester report is live on our client site! It's a case study on Drop, an iPad-connected kitchen scale and recipe app, which was developed by a small team based in Ireland and is currently in pre-order.

Most apps are dead boring. Sensors can help add some zing. Sensors are data collectors that measure physical properties of the real-world such as location, pressure, humidity, touch, voice, and much more. You can find sensors just about anywhere these days, most obviously in mobile devices that have accelerometers, GPS, microphones, and more. There is also the Internet of Things (IoT) that refers to the proliferation of Internet connected and accessible sensors expanding into every corner of humanity. But, most applications barely use them to the fullest extent possible. Data from sensors can help make your apps predictive to impress customers, make workers more efficient, and boost your career as an application developer.

2013 was a year in which media attention and hype targeted 3D printing: "artisanal" do-it-yourself (DIY) upstarts on Kickstarter making headlines across the blogosphere every week; high-profile speculation, such as President Obama's quip that 3D printing will create a new manufacturing economy in the US; and Victoria's Secret models strutting down the runway in elaborate 3D printed corsets and signature wing accessories.
The excitement has reached the C-suite, where execs are wondering how this elusive and unfamiliar new technology will affect their business. As the resident techie, the CIO should expect the questions to come her way: What are the business implications? How fast is the technology developing? What are the implications for business technology at your organization?
Over the past six months, my colleague Sophia Vargas and I have been working to understand the trajectory of 3D printing and its impact on business and technology. Clients can read our newly released Forrester report 3D Printing Drives Digitization Further Into Products, Processes, And Delivery Models for our full analysis.
Here are three angles on how 3D printing is driving business impact and digital disruption:
1. 3D printing can create tremendous business value — today. 3D printing enables key business imperatives in the age of the customer: faster time to market, new products and new markets, and the expansion of personalized products or services.

This morning, as I was writing this blog post, I got an email from one of my colleagues, saying "Is it weird that since Google bought Nest, I no longer want one?" Her sentiment isn't that unusual because, as it turns out, plenty of people feel like Google + Nest = HAL. (It's hard to miss the resemblance)
My colleague Frank Gillett just published a post outlining a collection of ten key thoughts about the acquisition. As the privacy-identity-personal data wonk advising Forrester's marketing strategy clients, I thought I'd drill down on some of the more salient points for those issues.
Posted by Frank Gillett on the CIOs Blog on January 14, 2014
Google's acquisition of Nest has stirred a lot of interest and reaction, some of it misguided. After talking to lots of reporters, here are ten quick thoughts on why Google bought Nest and what it means:
1. Google bought Nest for talent and strategic perspective, not products or data. Nest is too small and not scaling fast enough to justify the acquisition. This is about getting a great team that can teach Google about a new market realm, how the Internet of Things comes into the Connected Home.
2. The price is ridiculously high – unless Google gets a huge head start on Connected Home. Google's acquisition of Waze for $1 billion and Nest for $3.2 billion look pricey – but they are strategic bets for the long run, and can't easily be compared.
3. Building the next generation of Google Now is the goal, not snooping on our temps, room locations and smoke alarms. The Nest Labs team will help fuel development of the next generation of Google Now as it shifts more toward proactive assistance and advice.
4. Google's aim is to get an early start on identifying and adding software interfaces (APIs) to Gmail/Google Drive that connect it to smart products. This is not about Android in the home or about a battle for the device OS – it's a battle for whose cloud service platform will coordinate an individual's smart products – and their digital self.
5. Identity, privacy, and security will also crucial in building out the Connected Home. Blanket privacy policies won't be enough. Fatemeh Khatibloo's research on contextual privacy shows the new way that privacy and identity will have to be managed.

We talk about the mobile mind shift at Forrester Research -
"The expectation that I can get what I want in my immediate context and moments of need."
Mobile gives us unprecented control over more things in our lives - our schedule, our commute, our thermostat, our finances, etc. Mobile also gives us confidence we need - whether it's knowing we'll be on time or that there is enough money in the bank to cover our next purchase.
I've been connecting stuff not only to get a sense of what works and what doesn't or what is a good experience and what is poor, but also to get a feeling for how much control I get, how I change my behavior, how much more confidence I feel in making decisions and so forth. I've been wearing fitness wearables for almost two years. I'm also collecting data to see what I use, how I use it, what is useful, etc. My dog now wears a pedometer. (More later on that). My husband has one. My friends do.
So - my latest experiment is putting a tracker on a plant - no, not to see where it goes, but to check its health and allow it to talk to me - tell me what it needs.
I'm not sure if the experiment will go much beyond this first week so I'll post some images now.
CES was this past week - look to my colleague's Frank Gillett, JP Gownder or Michele Pelino for more on wearable technology.

Smart technology is becoming mainstream very quickly. Not a day goes by without hearing about some new piece of smart technology that can help you get fitter or smarter or improve your life in some other way. In the past week alone, I've heard about devices that can improve your tennis swing, improve your posture, sense your presence, and generate energy from walking — not to mention the new smart watches, handheld 3D printers that can draw bones, smart breathalyzers, and, of course (!) smart wigs!
These devices are starting to find their way into the hands of consumers, but much of the retail channel has yet to catch up. Smart locks, smart wearables, and smart fitness devices are all generally being sold through the traditional online and offline channels for electronics and devices; sports stores, clothing retailers, and home hardware stores have been slow on the uptake. In the US, we have already seen some electronics retailers (such as Best Buy) significantly expand their "smart wearables" section from a small pod to an entire aisle or even a dedicated corner or section of the store. At the same time, many sports stores have not even started carrying the latest fitness tracking devices — something that should be in their sweet spot.

When his father died, then reappeared, Tim Parks was forced to confront the impossible
Tim Parks
Tim Parks is a novelist and translator. He has been nominated for the Booker Prize twice. His latest book is 'Italian Ways: On and Off the Rails from Milan to Palermo', published by Harvill Secker
Saturday 18 January 1997
Ghosts: by broad day they can scarcely hold our sceptical attention. We see through them. But at night, around the uncertain edge of dreams, and when the wind nags, there are few whom an odd sound will not thrill with apprehension for that long anticipated meeting: a dead father, a dead lover. The bibliography to Daniel Cohen's Encyclopaedia of Ghosts remarks: "There are hundreds of books of `true' ghost stories, mostly, it seems, from England. These should be read strictly for entertainment." But be sure they will come back to haunt you later. After pooh-poohing the whole thing, the Macmillan Encyclopaedia is obliged to conclude its entry on ghosts with the laconic reflection: "Hauntings continue to be reported." There is more here than meets the eye.
Every ghost story is two stories: the story of how the ghost came to be a ghost, the story of our encounter with the ghost. Or rather: pathos and our attraction to pathos, the siren song of others' sufferings, metaphor of all melodrama. "The clanking of chains grew louder and louder" - it was Pliny the Younger, writing in the 1st century AD, who first offered us this scenario - "until there suddenly appeared the hideous phantom of an old man who raised his arms and shook his shackles in a kind of impotent fury." But Pliny's ghost did not speak. For whatever it is that leads them to their pitiful need for manifestation, ghosts rarely seem able to talk about it. Aphony, after all, is a common product of trauma, and what is more traumatic than dying? Trapped inside his awful last experience of life, the shackled ghost beckons. Night after night. The house he haunts is soon abandoned. Until, in this particular "true story", the impecunious philosopher Athenodorous, taking advantage of the low rent, has the courage to follow the phantom. A shallow, murder-victim's grave is discovered, the corpse still manacled hand and foot.
Speechless, the ghost is extravagantly theatrical. He does not dress casually. Flicking through the first pages of Haunted East Anglia - for every English county has its crop of ghosts - I underline the following: "The figure of a man was seen, dressed in soldier's uniform of the Napoleonic Wars" - "the form of a punt, and a figure in a white dress, standing in it, poling the craft along" - "the woman's dress was long and loosely flowing... the early sunlight caught and lit a quantity of gold jewellery" - "wearing a metal breastplate and round steel cap" - "wearing a long dark dress with a frilled apron and a small white cap perched on her dark hair" - "wearing fawn coloured breeches, leggings and a checked coat: on his head was a hard pork-pie type of hat." If this sounds like a shopping list for BBC Costume Drama - "strictly for entertainment" - one should remember that the Madonna, likewise, is never without her blue gown, nor Christ his stigmata. And even my father, who appeared twice, though only once to my mother, did so in his white surplice that was such a bind to wash, and his black cassock that always hung on a hook behind the vestry door.
Why? What are ghosts about? The dead body is walled up, chained, beheaded, burnt, poisoned. In any event, trapped. Passing through walls, transgressing the barrier of those two dates that form a prison cell for all of us, the mute ghost wants to lead us back there, to insist on the past. He is a conservative fellow. Or, worse still, the ghost is he who walled up another - chained, beheaded, poisoned another. Unpunished for his murder of fellow actor Thomas Hallam, Charles Macklin long haunted the corridors backstage at Drury Lane. A 13th-century rabbi, who killed his wife and burned down his synagogue, is still to be heard wandering around the Tudor building erected on the scene of his crime. Sinned against or sinning - and most of us are both - the ghost is appalled by his relationship to those actions that cemented his destiny. Why me? Did I mean to do that? Fixed there, unable - like so many in life - to change hair or dress or address, he stays home and haunts.
My father neither killed my mother nor burned down his church, but one evening he wandered into the kitchen to wolf cold meat from the fridge and said: "I suppose this monogamy business is all well enough." Officially, though, he began to die the day after he married myself and my wife. This was the last religious ceremony I ever took an active part in, or ever shall. My elder brother, estranged by my parents' coercive attempts to keep him in the Christian fold, had married far from home, in a town hall in Maryland, without a word to them. Aware of their sorrow, my more cautious choice was, not so much to conform, but not to disappoint. Undoubtedly, it is these lesions between what we are and what we do that come back to haunt us later. But when my father said he would use a microphone, I objected. He had never used a microphone when I attended his services. Technology seemed in bad taste on this particular occasion; it would amplify my own imposture. Stoically, not quite himself, my father gasped through the ceremony. The following week, they were trying to decide whether or not it was too late to operate.
By far the most moving ghost story, to my mind, is Ambrose Bierce's The Moonlit Road. The husband wishes to see if his beautiful wife is faithful. He says he is away on business, but returns in the early hours. A figure slips out of the house. Mad with rage, unable to catch the fellow, the husband rushes upstairs and, without a word of explanation, strangles his wife. She returns to haunt him. He loses his wits and his memory. Bierce tells the story in monologues. Neither protagonist understands what has happened, or is privy to the knowledge of the other. The now decrepit husband longs for the release of death. The only thing that survives his amnesia is a dream vision of the night he saw a figure leave his house, then went upstairs and killed his wife. Speaking through a medium, the dead wife tells how she awoke in terror, heard footfalls on the stairs. They receded. Just when she thought she was safe, there were more footsteps, louder and heavier than before. A moment later, fingers were on her throat. Far from being released in death, she desperately seeks to manifest herself to her husband, as a gesture of love. And in so doing, destroys him.
But who was the figure who entered and left the house? "There are times," the husband says, when "I cannot persuade myself that it was a human being." As if there were three ghosts in this story: the sorrowing wife, eager to restore a cruelly interrupted intimacy; the husband, haunted by his own inexplicable crime; and this mysterious figure who flits across the space of incomprehension between man and woman, phantom personification of that scission between what we are and what we do, source, in any event, of those deep misunderstandings that haunt us all.
One of the things that most frightened me, as a child at my prayers, was that one might die and discover that all one had believed in was untrue. My father was now a sick man walled up in his cancer. Already he was experiencing the loneliness of the ghost, who almost always haunts alone. Certainly, despite his faith, he suffered the horror of the spirit become aware of those incongruous shackles that bind it to the blighted flesh. Certainly, he had his regrets, which, like anybody, he was eager to settle. My brother was sent for. I was asked if I would renew my faith. I would not. The ghost of misunderstanding strutted through the vicarage walls, melodramatic, effectively aphonous.
Modern technology has made it notoriously difficult to have certain psychic experiences. Candles no longer flicker, and just as street-lamps have robbed us of the stars, so the click of a switch will quickly turn a phantom back into a dressing gown. Ironically, though, great strides have been made in multiplying the numbers of the living dead. What need have I of ghosts when my amnesiac grandmother at 98 is drugged into perennial decay, a dusty spectre of lost vigour? So X-rays and chemotherapy gave my father eight months to practise the ghostly pallor, the gestures of impotent fury. Is it surprising, then, that his first appearance as a spirit actually came some hours before his death? A close friend and fellow clergyman phoned my mother to say he had seen my father at the rather grand ordination service he had been attending: bishops, canons, deacons and archdeacons. Sitting in the stalls, fully robed, my father followed the ceremony throughout, only to disappear amongst the congregation when the friend tried to approach him after the blessing. Fittingly, flittingly, he died upon a Sunday.
One encouraging aspect of many ghost stories is the power they allow us over the world beyond the grave. For so often the end of the story is also the end of the haunting. In Pliny's account, Athenodorous follows the ghost to the scene of his murder. The skeleton is released from its chains and properly buried. It haunts no more. In Healing the Haunted, Dr Kenneth McAll, Christian psychiatrist, recounts perhaps 40 tales of freeing ghosts from whatever was fettering them to their weary routines. Recognition, proper burial, prayer and exorcism are Dr McAll's tools and no spirit anywhere is safe from them. He sees off a pack of Norman knights, a band of smugglers, dogs, cats, unborn babies, and even the drowned and murdered slaves apparently responsible for the sad notoriety of the Bermuda Triangle. Compulsive repetition at last interrupted is always the happy ending. But, intriguingly, no mention is ever made of where these ghosts are "released" to: heaven, hell? What kind of release would that be? For all the cartoon efficacy they concede to Christian symbolism, ghost stories definitely haunt the margins of established religion. Offering no easy after-life, their genius is to be most reassuring - with that word "release" - just as they find expression for what is most taboo: not death, but our wish that death really be death. "Beneath it all," wrote Phillip Larkin, "desire of oblivion runs."
In the months he was dying, my father never sought healing through the laying on of hands. This is curious, since he firmly believed in such things. Perhaps he feared it had been his charismatic fervour that had led to the painful break-up with my brother, proved the mocking elf that draws us to destruction. If cancer is partly the result of unhappiness and stress, my father had had his fair share of it. The only other explanation is that, despite his sense of outrage at what was happening to his body, he was not unready to make an end, perhaps precisely because of this incurable gap between felt identity and the enigma of one's life. He may have had quite enough of elfish figures who slip in and out of one's house at night.
Did he really know he was dying? Certainly, the doctors were careful never to use that word. "It's so discouraging." And the literature on the subject makes it clear that none of us can fully imagine our own extinction: "Whenever we make the attempt to imagine it," said Freud, "we can perceive that we really survive as spectators." In which scenario we might understand the ghost as simply a failure of the imagination, the inability to see ourselves quite dead. "There creeps in," wrote the philosopher FH Bradley, "the idea of a reluctant and struggling self, or of a self disappointed, or wearied, or in some way discontented. And this is certainly not a self completely extinguished." What could be more of a failure of imagination than that ghostly repetition beyond mortal routine: same clothes, same gestures? The nights immediately following his death, my dreams of my father were always of a corpse that turned out to be reluctantly, discontentedly alive, dead but frighteningly not so. Was that why on the third day, the day before the funeral, I asked the undertaker if he would open the coffin and let me see my father one last time? He said: "You don't really want to see him. He is dead." "Blessed," remarks one of Samuel Beckett's characters, performing a healthy amputation on a verse from Revelation, "are the dead that die."
It's interesting, in Pliny's tale, that the murdered ghost does not seek revenge, but only the propriety of decent burial. The end of a ghost story is ever a return to propriety: that is, extinction. And propriety was very much on my mind as I leafed through brochures of wreaths, photographs of rose trees. What to do with the dead? Returning to the crematorium to pick up my father's remains, I was surprised to find them being given to me in a colourful plastic box more suitable, one would have thought, for ice-cream than ashes. "Was it a difficult death?" the woman said - she had known my father well, in his clergyman's role - and in the car I imagined buckling the safety-belt round the box, since my father was always scrupulous about wearing his belt. "I've put them (it? him?) in the bottom drawer of the dresser," I shouted downstairs to my mother, not wishing her to be distressed by the garish box. Clearly, propriety had yet to be established.
Was it in this period, before the ashes were finally laid to rest, that she saw him? That would fit with the folklore on the subject. Obliged to leave the vicarage, my mother moved to the other side of London. It would be inappropriate to haunt their old parish where a new incumbent must establish himself. A stranger in a strange church, she rose to her feet for that moment before the eucharist when people are invited to turn and embrace those beside them. No one turned to my mother. She was bereaved and alone, the ghost of herself. Upon which my father appeared in his robes and embraced her and she knew that all would be well. She could not say how he appeared, nor how he disappeared, only that he did so. On a windless day, she scattered his ashes in the Thames at Kew.
"I have related this in the past tense," says the husband in Ambrose Bierce's The Moonlit Road, "but the present would be a fitter form." The images that haunt him know no solution. In this regard, my father showed a generous propriety, appearing but twice and requiring no exorcism to be released. He had atoned, perhaps, in that embrace - monogamy beyond the grave - for his comment by the fridge. Unless one reflects that turning up in one's robes is not the only form of haunting. In so many ways, life's continuance is a living death. We are haunted by ghosts: of those who meant much to us; of the country we left; of our father's religion. Our parents' faces loom in the mirror. Our cheeks shrink onto their bones. We chide our children with their gestures, at once haunted and haunting. My son's "Oh God!" is a perfect imitation of my own. My eyes, my mother's, stare out of his young face. Will he one day have to write about - write off - me? I'm not averse to cold meat in the evening myself. On opening the fridge, I hear, quite distinctly, my father's haunting words. Perhaps I spoke them myself. My son pokes his head round the door. There's an odd distance, it seems sometimes, between the person I feel I am and the life I live. Will death cure us of this? "All's well," abbreviated Robert Lowell, "that ends." Well, it doesn't
