The art of looking backwards
Harold Pinter's Betrayal, now back in the West End, reverses chronology to dazzling effect. Others have played with time and failed, says Paul Taylor, but those who get it right often achieve works of incredible depth
Wednesday 08 June 2011
A friend of mine was once obsessed with playing a video recording of the wedding of Charles and Diana with his finger on the rewind button. Watching it with him on occasion, I used particularly to enjoy the bit where Diana's vast wedding train appeared to be dragging her inexorably back down the steps of St Paul's and into the vehicle that had brought her there. And who can say that she would not have been happier, in the long run, had it contrived to do so?
Witnessing disasters cartoonily reversed is one of the spooky pleasures afforded by this kind of counter-clockwise procedure. Famously, the hero of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five watches retroverted footage of Second World War bombings – a feature that influenced Martin Amis when he applied the same technique to Auschwitz and the life of a German doctor who had assisted Josef Mengele there in his 1991 novella, Time's Arrow. At the same time, works of art that flow against the temporal current offer one the oddly freeing, sometimes faintly absurdist experience of encountering effects before causes: "The effect of living backwards... always makes one feel a little giddy at first," the White Queen informs Alice in Through the Looking Glass. Asked why she has screamed before, rather than after, pricking her finger on a brooch, this madcap royal magisterially declares, as if to an imbecile, "Why I have done all the screaming already... What would be the good of having it all over again?"
Pre-eminent amongst the stage plays that unfold in this manner is Harold Pinter's 1978 drama Betrayal, which is based on the author's own adulterous affair with the broadcaster Joan Bakewell and is now in previews in the West End in a revival directed by Ian Rickson and starring Kristin Scott Thomas, Douglas Henshall and Ben Miles. The proceedings begin with a bleak reunion drink in 1977, two years after the end of the seven-year affair between literary agent Jerry and Emma, the wife of his best friend, publisher Robert. The play then makes backward leaps, ending in 1968 and what, in a play full of intricate treacheries, is possibly the primal act of betrayal. During a party, Robert walks in on his wife and future paramour in her bedroom just after Jerry has made his first declaration of love. Instead of direct acknowledgement or protest, the husband reavows his affection for his best friend, thereby declining to pre-empt the emotional ménage à trois that may ensue.
As Rickson argues, "one of the tragedies is that the characters are so unaware of the play's structural movement." Unbeknownst to them, and with the effect of both intellectual irony and wrenching poignancy, even the good things – from the audience's perspective – occur in the shadow of the fore-ordained. The actors consequently have to "deprogramme" themselves, scene by scene, from what they have already been through. The director spent the first week of rehearsal working on the play as though the story were told chronologically so that the cast got a sense of the shape of these lives. Then he reverted to the sequence Pinter devised, with the actors enjoined to stay absolutely in each separate Proustian moment.
When he ran The Royal Court, Rickson read hundreds of plays and was struck by how "a playful time scheme" was often just a bid to camouflage the conventionality of an otherwise unremarkable piece. Across the genres, though, there are fine examples of works of art that move backwards with a strong sense of purpose. The list would, to my mind, have to include the aforementioned Time's Arrow. In film, there is Christopher Nolan's brilliant, endlessly suggestive Memento, which proceeds in a one-step-forward-two-steps-back manner as it focuses on a former insurance man who is obsessed with avenging his raped and murdered wife, though hampered with a chronic short-term memory loss. In musicals, there is Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along (1981) which, in the best of the subsesquently revised versions, takes three friends – a composer, a lyricist and a magazine writer – from the embittered compromise and lost ideals of the composer's Hollywood success in 1979 to the New York rooftop in 1957 where they watch Sputnik as a trio of young hopefuls tingling with anticipation on the brink of their careers. Most musicals build up a memory bank of reprise and self-quotation as a shorthand to feeling. What happens when ironic recapitulation occurs before its originating occasion?
All these works take huge technical risks but, because of its exceptionally sensitive subject matter, Time's Arrow is easily the most audacious and controversial. Here, by virtue of the reverse narration and by a calculatedly grotesque irony, the German guards and doctors in Auschwitz become not just the saviours of the Jews, but their visionary begetters. They draw them down into being and pound the gold teeth back into their gums, from the smoke of their extermination. "Our preternatural purpose? To dream a race? To make a people from the weather. From thunder and lightning. With gas and electricity. With shit and with fire." The book is a bravura performance with all the problems of propriety that that suggests. Significantly, the method could never work if Amis had chosen to focus on the life story of one of the Jewish prisoners. It would simply break down in the face of the attempt in these camps (as we know from the work of Primo Levi) to destroy the humanity of the inmates in a systematically irreversible way. Nonetheless, unlike the writing in Time's Arrow that flows off the page and back into the pen, I would not wish this necessarily disturbing work unwritten.
It is customary with art that unwinds backwards that the audience is in an awkward position of superior awareness to the protagonists. A remarkable feature to the one-step-forward-two-steps-back approach of Memento is that it instils a disorienting empathy for the confusion in the mind of the central character, Lenny. His world has to start from scratch every time he wakes on his revenge mission in LA, his short-term memory problems reducing him to tattooing key facts on his body and to carrying round a clutch of Polaroids to identify the strangers who keep greeting him familiarly. There are many ways of looking at Memento – one that intrigues me is its peculiar affinities with Oedipus Rex. Lenny's fate is like a ghastly travesty of that of Sophocles' king, another investigating hero who is fighting to resist the recognition that he is his own quarry in another tragedy where a suspect insurance policy profoundly backfires.
Like Pinter's play, Merrily We Roll Along unreels its way from blighted experience to relative innocence and Sondheim's music beautifully underscores this counterintuitive course. Thus, in the version that Michael Grandage directed at the Donmar Warehouse in 2000, the songwriting duo's big hit number "Good Thing Going" was first heard reverently strummed by sell-out Frank's later disciples, then unveiled at a snobby party – where socialites chatter like philistines over its reprise – and then, by various melodic degrees, is recaptured in the composer's earliest bouncy piano sketches, its haunting ruefulness shed in the process. The lyric itself, "We had a good thing going/ Going, gone", is in a paradoxical relationship to a show shaped on the opposite pattern of "Gone, going, going – beginning". Grandage's version reverted to the concept in the original Broadway production of opening with a graduation ceremony at which the gowned students rebel against the older Frank's cynical speech about the need for pragmatism. It is, perhaps, a flaw in Merrily that after all its worldly wisdom about the failure of dreams, it ends up buying into too starry-eyed a myth of primary innocence.
That is why, as Ian Rickson points out, the final scene of Betrayal is, contrastingly, so fine – holding the options open in its mystery and ambiguity. Are we seeing the worm that was always coiled in the bud or is the worm our own self-induced optical illusion? Samuel Beckett, who had a copy of Pinter's play in the room with him when he died, had little truck with the notion that the ending straightforwardly puts the final cynical piece in a puzzle of ever-more-intricate treachery. Instead, in a sentence that reads like a prose poem and stands as a shrewd gloss on what is moving in many of these reverse-action works, he wrote "That last first look in the shadows after all those in the light to come wrings the heart."

I am still waiting on a few more parts in correct colors and I will probably play a little more but I've had this sitting around so long that I couldn't wait anymore.
I was trying to get this done for the military build competition but I got a little delayed....
Suggestions always welcome!
QuestionableEthics, Condor., and 55 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Personal anecdote time:
When I was a kid, we lived in Montana. My Stepdad's secretary was married to an FBI agent. He was apparently the contact for Victor Belenko, who lived somewhere in that part of the country.
I received as a gift, the book Mig Pilot, autographed by Victor Belenko.
It's nice to see a good Lego version of the MiG 25. :)
I would agree to have the cockpit moved forward two studs. Cool solution to the missiles (something I had a hard time with on mine) and great choice of parts for the vertical stabilizers.
can't wait to see more pictures! (don't forget a top-down picture to show the planform, if you can). Also I admire your dedication to get the landing gear right.
That looks really good so far.
This looks really nice. I like the look of the tail fins or whatever you call them.
Awesome, right now I am working on building a MIG-23 Flogger and then I am going to try building on a MIG-21 Fishbed. But your MIG is great and yours will be inspiration if I get around to making a MIG-25 Foxbat. Great Work. =]
Oh, by the way don't change the colors to much because most of the MIG-25 are a light grey like you have it now. I know this because i have a book called MODERN FIGHTING AIRCRAFT From 1945 to Present Day.
Excellent Job Right Here!
How do you orginize your legos?
there are three "levels" to my sorting
first everything is broken down by element type. Bricks, plates, modified plates, minifig accesories, technic parts, wedges, slopes etc....
some of those "types" are broken down further to the part level, where each individual part within a type has its own bin. I sometimes even go further to then sort by color.
I try to keep parts closer to front and center that I think I use more, though I also keep similar elements together. Example: I tend to build in gray a lot more than in yellow, but all of the 1xn drawers are in the same region instead of keeping the gray close at hand and the yellow far off.
That's about as good an explanation I can give short of telling you what I have in each drawer.
Great model, really excellent. The only thing I'm wondering about, is which version of Foxbat you made? Because this sort of camo (short dark grey nose cone) is typical for reco/bomber versions, which can't be equipped with R-40 missiles, only bombs.Also looking at the position of those two dark grey tiles under canopy, I think you were making BM version, which were allowed to carry Kh-58 air-to-surface missles, but did not have any air-to-air armament,or RBS/RBSz version,armed with FAB-500 bombs.
I have no clue what version I'm making! The nose paint scheme is just what I could do and I really wanted to put the big missiles on it. I didn't realize those don't go together.
I've got a plane similar to this going. It is really not based on any real plane( save the tail fins) but I'me really happy with how it's turning out. I think I'll call the the K-198 Viper.
Heavens... That thing is great. What a beast... Did I get it right from the comments that it is built in the scale 1:36? I especially love the missile design, the intakes and the vertical stabilizers.
I don´t know why I missed this. I check your stream rather regularly, but still...
Best regards,
I'm not sure how I missed all your photos of this until now. I'm lucky you didn't finish it in time for the contest!
is that foxhound or foxbat???

AWS Virtual MFA is an Android application that enables you to use your smartphone as a multi-factor authentication device with AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (AWS MFA). This is an optional feature of your Amazon Web Services (AWS) account that provides increased security when accessing AWS. This feature requires the user to present a valid authentication code provided by their MFA device, in addition to their username and password, before they can sign in.
Supports OATH Standard
The AWS Virtual MFA application supports the OATH standard for Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP), and it can easily be configured by scanning a QR Code with your smartphone or by manually entering a configuration key provided by the AWS Management Console. The app supports the ability to generate one-time passwords for one or more virtual tokens, making it easier for customers who require MFA protection for multiple AWS identities.
Integrate All Your Accounts
You can enable AWS MFA for your AWS account as well as for any AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user associated under your account. All AWS websites, such as the AWS Management Console and the AWS portal, support AWS MFA.
AWS Console
EC2, S3, Route 53, ELB, RDS, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, CloudFormation, DynamoDB, Auto Scaling, and AWS OpsWorks customers can use the app to browse resources and view configuration details, metrics, and alarms. Management functionality is supported for EC2, RDS, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, DynamoDB, Auto Scaling, and AWS OpsWorks. Service Health Dashboard notifications provide real-time information on service availability, and users with billing and CloudWatch permissions can monitor total estimated service charges.
The AWS Console mobile app requires an existing AWS account. Simply create an identity using your account credentials and select your region in the menu. The app lets you stay signed in to multiple identities at once. Note that if you sign in with an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user account, you need to use the account alias that was included in the email address from your administrator. If you use AWS Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), we recommend using either a hardware MFA device or a virtual MFA on a separate mobile device for the greatest level of account protection.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
Jane Smiley…graceful and alluring, a leisurely introduction to the last 300 years of Hungarian history and an often affecting depiction of the way individuals must appear and disappear, alive for a few years and then lost entirely, even to their own descendants…The Book of Fathers is a serious novel that, while sometimes agonizing or even shocking, is never somber. Inevitably, its theme is that life goes on, and that every son is no less interesting than every father, that each generation's search for wisdom is different but no less important or dramatic than the previous generation's. Miklos Vamos's literary skills are such that he can sustain the reader's interest in each doomed generation (doomed by nature, if nothing else). His virtuoso portraits of his idiosyncratic characters are fully backed by his evocative portrayal of the world they live in and the history they live through. Note to Vamos's publisher: More, please!

Steelers Versus Titans – First Half Notes And Observations
By Matthew Marczi
- One of the first things that I took notice of early on was just how frequently Todd Haley varied his personnel from play to play. On first down, he went with the 12 personnel with Isaac Redman the lone back and David Paulson lined up to the right of Kelvin Beachum, who were both lined up to the right of Marcus Gilbert. It was a power run look to the right side, but the play went deep to Emmanuel Sanders instead.
- On second down, perhaps partially due to everybody running go routes, the entire skill position personnel was swapped in an 11 personnel package. LaRod Stephens-Howling was the back, David Johnson was the lone tight end, and at receiver were the three reserves: Jerricho Cotchery in the slot with Markus Wheaton and Derek Moye on the outside. The play went for a short gain behind a mediocre blocking attempt by Cotchery.
- On third down, it was ostensibly another 11 personnel package, but Cotchery was lined up in the backfield next to Ben Roethlisberger in the shotgun. This is a package that the Steelers ran a few times in the preseason with success, and it was no different on this play. Sanders and Paulson cleared out the defensive backs from the offensive left side, allowing Cotchery to trail behind them and sit at the markers for the easy third-down conversion.
- Redman's first rushing attempt exposed what was probably the team's biggest weakness of the day for the running game, which was the blocking of the tight ends. On this play, the Steelers ran a 13 package with Beachum, Johnson, and Paulson all lined up to Gilbert's right side. Both Beachum and Johnson failed on their blocks. Paulson was actually the one tight end to hold his block on the play, but the run was designed to go well inside of his block. Redman potentially had a cutback option, but the blocks likely failed too late to change course.
- As Mike Tomlin mentioned, it appeared as though Maurkice Pouncey was attempting to release to the second level as the nose tackle tied him up when David DeCastro went in for his ill-fated cut block that ended the Pro Bowl center's season. I will leave the debate about whether or not such a block should even be legal up to others to discuss, but the traffic jam in the middle of the field that resulted from the block forced the run to bounce outside, which was quickly snuffed out.
- I do believe that was the one time during the entire game that the Steelers tried to run a stretch play.
- Once again, Jerricho Cotchery continues to show that he just puts his nose to the grindstone and gets the job done. His two conversions on third and long on the opening drive, while impressive, should be no surprise to anybody that has followed his career. He knows where the marker is and how to get to it.
- On the following run, Paulson and Johnson double teamed the right defensive end while Mike Adams and Ramon Foster double teamed the right defensive tackle, leaving the right outside linebacker with an easy read to fill the hole and force Redman to try his luck outside. The right defensive end then proceeded to come off his block and make the tackle for no gain. It is not clear to me why neither Johnson nor Adams picked up the linebacker, as it certainly appeared to be a run designed to go through that C gap off left tackle.
- The fumbled exchange between Roethlisberger and Redman that bounded into the end zone was I believe Michael Palmer's first play of the game. His bread and butter in this league with the Atlanta Falcons was as a run blocker. Given the way Paulson and Johnson performed in that capacity, I certainly hope the Steelers intend to use Palmer more.
- Steve McLendon registered a quarterback hit in his very first snap as the starting nose tackle of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He would later register two more hurries on just 11 pass rushes. This is not Casey Hampton any more. This is not even Chris Hoke. McLendon could very well find himself in on nickel snaps going forward this season, especially with Larry Foote being done for the season. A couple years back when Stevenson Sylvester was forced to start, the Steelers took him out as often as possible. I expect that to be a similar pattern for either Kion Wilson or Vince Williams.
- In the nickel package, Cameron Heyward replaced Ziggy Hood to pair with Brett Keisel as the two down linemen on the rush. Heyward did a nice job collapsing the pocket, while Keisel got around the edge and was able to hit Jake Locker and force a bad pass.
- Back in the base package, Heyward remained in as Keisel took a seat. McLendon stayed seated as Al Woods came in at nose tackle.
- On third and four, it was Heyward and Keisel again on the line, and Jarvis Jones came in to spell Jason Worilds at right outside linebacker. A penalty resulted in yet another third down, and this time Heyward beat Chance Warmack off the snap to get right into Locker's face and force a quick throw that fell incomplete behind his receiver.
- On the first sack of Roethlisberger, the Steelers were in a 13 look, with Palmer, Johnson, and Paulson lined up to Gilbert's right and Felix Jones in the backfield. Jones and Gilbert should split fault on the sack. Gilbert gets beaten off the line by Jurrell Casey, but Jones jams the defensive tackle. However, he releases before Gilbert is able to re-establish his block, and by that point both Gilbert and Jones turn away, assuming that the other had picked up the block, leaving Casey with a straight line to the quarterback. A most unfortunate miscommunication.
- Two plays later, Roethlisberger gets sacked again on a play that ostensibly is Redman's fault; however, it is not so black and white. Redman initially gets the block on Zach Brown and starts driving him around the pocket, but pressure allowed up the middle forced Roethlisberger to climb the pocket. Brown could see this, but Redman could not, facing the opposite direction, and a quick turn upfield by Brown was all it took to get the sack.
- Although the Steelers allowed a short return after the ensuing punt, I liked the ability of Shamarko Thomas to shed his blocker and make the tackle. Tomlin noted his play on special teams as a positive, which suggests to me that Antwon Blake may remain inactive so long as Thomas and Curtis Brown can handle the gunner duties.
- LaMarr Woodley's sack was a pure speed rush, and right tackle David Stewart was just a tick slow out of his stance.
- Ramon Foster was beaten on an attempted reach block on yet another running play that netted less than three yards. David DeCastro also was easily tossed aside and spilled to the ground, which is not the most encouraging sign in the world.
- Cotchery and Brown each converted a pair of third and long situations just three minutes into the fourth quarter. The Steelers did not convert another third down in the game.
- As noted by Mark Kaboly, Redman's second fumble was partially initiated by the quickness of Jurrell Casey, who easily penetrated the gap vacated by a pulling Ramon Foster. Both Beachum and Adams failed to fill the gap in time, which resulted in David Johnson, who was also pulling, attempting to pick him up, to no avail. Kaboly also notes that this is typically one of their established running plays when executed properly, but it clearly was not in this instance.
- Jason McCourty really did a nice job on Emmanuel Sanders all day. He made any attempt at a deep ball a challenge, and he completely blew up a third and long screen for a loss with his quickness and instincts.
- Jarvis Jones' big hit was an impressive visual and all, but we should not make more out of it than what it is. He was completely unblocked and unimpeded to the running back.
- On the Roethlisberger interception, a replay seems to show that he alligator-armed the throw a bit, knowing that he was going to get hit. The result was a wobbly pass, although I don't know if a better ball would have changed the outcome.
- Both Larry Foote and Lawrence Timmons missed potential tackles in the backfield on a fourth and inches play on the drive at the end of the second quarter that resulted in a touchdown. The game could have had a very different tone at that point if either play were made.
- The Titans interior offensive line deserves a lot of credit for that drive, particularly the pulling guards. Left guard Andy Levitre pulled and took Larry Foote out of the play that found its way into the end zone.

Here is a link that might be useful: Houses
sleeplessinftwayne(z4-5 IND)
I don't see the cost of each house to build. I also don't see anything about how many people live in the houses. also how many people are required to maintain it. All of that can make a big difference in the actual cost of a home. It's kind of like the difference between loving a Vermeer and being able to afford to own it. Sandy

James Clerk Maxwell

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) is arguably the father of electromagnetism, and unarguably one of the greatest physicists ever. Einstein called Maxwell's equations 'the most important event in physics since Newton's time, not only because of their wealth of content, but also because they form a pattern for a new type of law'. This unit will examine Maxwell's greatest triumph, the prediction that electromagnetic waves can propagate vast distances through empty space and the realisation that light is itself an electromagnetic wave.
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
- explain the meaning of the emboldened terms and symbols, and use them appropriately;
- state the equation of continuity and use it in simple problems;
- state the conditions under which Ampère's law is true and explain why it does not apply more generally;
- state the Ampère–Maxwell law and explain why it has a greater domain of validity than Ampère's law;
- state and name the differential versions of Maxwell's four laws of electromagnetism;
- recall the properties of linearly polarised plane monochromatic electromagnetic waves in empty space, including their transverse nature, speed and energy flux.

James Clerk Maxwell
James Clerk Maxwell produced a unified theory of the electromagnetic field and used it to show that light is a type of electromagnetic wave. This prediction dates from the early 1860s when Maxwell was at King's College, London. Shortly afterwards Maxwell decided to retire to his family estate in Galloway in order to concentrate on research, unhindered by other duties. He was lured out of retirement in 1871, when he became the first professor of experimental physics in the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. Given Maxwell's present status as one of the greatest of all physicists, it is astonishing to learn that he was the third choice for this job. Incidentally, Clerk Maxwell (without a hyphen) is a surname; Maxwell's father, John Clerk, simply appended 'Maxwell' to his own name in order to smooth a legal transaction.

Really bad hotel. Room didnt even come with a coffee machine u had to go downstairs the desk to get it? are you kidding me the breakfast is absolutely nothing i eneded up going out to get my own food. The room was not clean it was well kept.
This is our 4th visit. The staff is very accommodating. Housekeeping is excellent.
No complaints
This is the second time I have been there. And will go back if I cruise out of New Jersey again.
Nothing but location
Bed not well made
Poor and not hot breakfast
Hallways and bedroom are not clean. Too many spiders webs and we were afraid bugs around too
First room was terrible, I asked move to another, I "little upgrade" but very dirty
Location; I felt very safe.
The furnishing in the room was top notch, as was
It was cheap and close to NYC
It was awful, I was afraid we might catch bed bugs or something.
The room was clean.
The staff had me take a freight elevator with a trolley cart to a dead end. I was unable to roll a trolley full of bags to my room because of the stair case. The place was poorly design They also could have told me to take my car around the building and carry my bags one flight up. That would have been a lot simpler. I will ever go back to that place.
The staff. We had a great check in with a wonderful woman who welcomed us better than anyone, and we do a lot of traveling. If there's anything you can do to praise the professional, efficient African American woman who checked us in, I'd appreciate that.
clean, friendly staff
heating system was upgraded but thermostat was not. room was way too hot
Desk clerk Marsha was outstanding even to answering questions about a possible march 2015 visit.
Parking spaces should be marked by room number so that no one else takes your one space. That way no one can argue when they take your space and you return mid-evening to find the only space left is at the far end of the motel from room 132.
The staff is very efficient and friendly. The location is excellent with its close proximity to the Mall and I-80.
No, everything was great.
I have stayed at this hotel before, about 8 years ago. I must say that it was excellent then, and, it certainly is now. The staff is friendly and efficient. I look forward to my next visit.
Everything was great. Great price and great value. I especially like the shared amenities with the adjoining Hilton.
