'Scent makes the air visible,' An Actual Encounter With The Sun On My Balcony At France Street Deadly Pollen ZIONISM: to carry forward the cultural gene O bright-lit destiny of the chosen! The child's bouncing ball lands in mud on the other side of the wire; footsteps are paradoxical in a minefield. His heart ticks fast as a metal detector, slowly, the yellow ball rolls to a stop. Proposition: to advance onto ancestral territory, or return into gentle, familial lands, a footfall journey backward. His eye shrinks the land to desert. * You return to the stupa, yearly, to seek your return. You wish to come back as forest deer but that deer is extinct. The stupa is a rock upon which your dreams founder, yearly, - you return that which you do not have. Meanwhile, in the West, under ragged skies and beneath a hundred spires no longer dreamt of attendance comes tumbling down; each stone, unturned, in an emptied space within a space caved under. * The stones collected. Ground levelled and swept. The first cubicle erected with four windowed-walls, an open doorway. One man on a step looking out to sea. Civilization open for business. Soon, marble was made smooth and square. The Idea locked into permanence. Curiosity stimulated commerce; others came and conquered then went away. That first step never forgotten became a throne - history's seat. * "With digital, there is no past," says Jean-Luc Godard. Either way, the button is redundant. Voice-command is thought - the fear deep and futureless as history, desire to appease which remains featureless, not the disorganized weather it truly is, as much a part of the breathing stars as constancy of rock. The 'Mr Whippy Man' weaves Greensleeves in and out of suburbia; a caravan in search of a trade-route via the village that never existed. 8 * How is it the floating island detaches itself from horizon in dream its first appearance, otherworldly, but of this world, a wheel loosened from the world's ratchet, out of time, riding above it and inhabited by folk fixated upon a particular theorem-thought; elevated imponderables, whereby you access this island by door set underneath as you sail under? Islands, a dream of round towers! the sudden rush of water under hulls. * Mediocre raiders lie in wait. Teeth clack in sleep, dreams fraught with ambush. Orders intercepted, encrypted to the house style. The litterateur tracked back through his ISBN to no man's land the robotic verb activated, sent in under barbed metaphor strung out where trees once stood as camouflage. The voices from his hill-bunker a wind turbine. Accusations tumbled in the night. For months he heard soft hammering, mimicry; they failed. Could not beat back the weather on his chosen ground. * Time passes - that pressure in space again - return of the unoriginals tinkering with the power-box such fine work - setting traps out for darkness. Time passes talons curve and hook - how the mouth chokes with ash. Feet drag muffled under dungeons. Time passes that pressure in space again - a new proclamation from Semiotic City this custom built dome and aquarium light, pulsing: henceforth, no corners to hide around - no zone permitted for surprise to leap. * Hugely, our indifference squats unleavened as fear, blood is contained within news footage. Archaeologists stop digging deserts because of landmines. Camels wait for sand dunes to drift into ridges - blue flags flutter back at Fort Apache on brave white trucks (what gets through is the scent of coffee). A footless boy hobbles past, bargain hunting, a life at odds & ends - smoke drifts over Manhattan, out across the Hudson river as from a Bedouin campfire. * Circuit; right hand wise, homage to the sun - as did ancient Celts, Scythians, too - host to the Milesians on their last leg to Ireland as the first Celts castaway whose home precinct the Black Sea, the right hand to the centre; memoried in standing stone circles. Yet homage to a sun as walking pillar of fire, with hell for a coronet? The world's breath and mystery end here, earth's innards engorged sprawled redly coast to coast. * If streets had cobblestones blood would flow in tatters - torn flags to a revolution lost. Streets smoothly ease to drains. The cut deep, and blood wakes from its blackness, crushed as berries in the runnels of a wagon, oozes its oil from the body's casket - til flesh becomes porcelain, perfect surface for moon, ice, the glass-edged sky to play upon; in silences deep as birch in the bayoneting dark - and leaves finally resemble paper money piled up under the turbined lamplight. * A Public Works draughtsman spent thirty years designing the City Sewerage Reticulation System he eventually hoped to escape through a masterpiece! A prairie dog would have been proud of it. Complex of accented runs, angles, drops, sluices, pumps, ditches, endless unbowed archways, treatment ponds breaking into sunlight - the architects of Athens would have been proud of it. Only on paper - not one trowel lifted! miles and miles and miles of it. * Pyrrha, your dewy hair, yellow, scented, doubly wreathed in Jasmine, fresh from the trellis this morning - your new lover yet to arrive, breathless. Your tantrums are as sea-storms, heart-wrecking for that unsuspecting voyager - maybe as survivor, I might warn him against your squally lust, he won't find safe haven in your arms! This note is record enough - that I set down against your lubricous hold. See: Horace's 'Pyrrha' ode. I,v. * The flames above the wall, private show for the Gods, the city burned three days, at night, smoke warmed the stars. Border forest shifted with shields - scritch-owl, a horse's impatient breath - the hawk wheeled under a pennant moon. In the grey dawn men turned North. The druid notched these events onto trunks that lead to deeper wood envisioned - silence, incantation; the God found within the stone. * Once cradle of civilization now crucible, a sandstorm of tanks, a battery of rocket-launchers each one bright as a guiding star slams home to its birth place, sand sprites leap dervishly, limbs gad about, horses buckle back upon themselves empty out like exhausted bellows. A beggar (in nameless rags) calls out in either prayer or curse to the desert night first refuge for saints; Cross and Crescent belch fire. * Forty thousand tons. Space dust, diamond and sapphire, snips of light, collect on earth yearly. Dust breaks bread on our too dusty planet; on our twice dusty planet; on our overly dusty planet made available to wind; dust breaks down glaciers. Broken deserts from sand storms deliver dinosaur dust, highways loosen tyre dust, your home a time capsule - our earth bent dustward forsworn to decay. * A giallo antico moon framed within cratered ruins. Country turned up at the edges like a dirty postcard. Poplars, broken spars of pine, cypress. Dusty plane trees rubbed raw by abrading tanks in the market square. Two ambulances shoved aside. Kabul. The Republic of Georgia's snowy mountains [backdrop to some desolate soccer field]. A few lean men shouldering grenade launchers pass by and grin, heading for the glaci•re. * 'The Breaking of Nations' a horse cough, as history laments its own passing. What ghosts urge these riots? Memory is dead, flags and banners dissolve back into thoroughfares. The East is reliquary; bone splinter and shrapnel mixed in daily. What ghosts urge these riots? Barbarism looms in the triumph of immediacy, a final exit from the Garden of Eden, bombs bristling moments ago at cockcrow. * 'A line is taking a full-stop for a walk,' said Klee. A straight line is the supreme act of cruelty; is intent without reprieve, ambush and final judgement; Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end, (bullet-to-victim); the scroll of credits, a squadron of lines; the banding of speech, a geology of sound; the blade tilt of horizon that bloodies a sun; is gravity compressed and a disk flung wide, is flatness departing life to nothing spear cast on a plain at sunset. * Buildings off the crustal shelf, drop shouldered - lean to, against the sky in crazy surrealist back drop, expressionist haze is shock amongst rubble and safety helmets spotted lamp-lit - an engine harvests an infant, luckily, dead pale but pained; dust cakes sudden caves by a broken 10th floor grounded, bedraggled beneath re-inforcing caged. Tectonic plates lock brake drums an instant on the Richter scale. Taiwan slips on the tooth of a cog. * Generalization of Old World caught in the plane's sweep. Look up! sound makes memory after. Dragging loss is violence; O ye who suffer banishment, nourishment grounded. Dearth 'tis. Rabble is ordinary, a thing apart, the jackal at play, toying with world's diamonds, spittle aglitter. Laughter strewn, down-compressed to mud. From whence the swing and arc, blood's roar rose, gave judder to the first step - before the word, the wind in the word; rabble speech was. In the beginning. * CEOs in castles cascade in cash, silent as a cyber virus the invisible hides cause-and-effect, stock taken, bartered in Japan via Belarus every back yard where falls a city's shadow looming over the last, dead chimney pot, not even moon can empty its chamber pot of yellow, silver slops into alleyways crackling with plastic syringes, used condoms, blood trails, slewed off into a wilderness of free ways, high rise. O the dead arise in elevators nightly as Pharisees burst into the Temple. * Footprints for satellites? An old game. The Mayas knew it; land forms camouflaged, star charts, airy bestiaries, eagle, lama, beastback mountain sides, white pebbled Milky Way, an ancestral footbridge. Look down or up, backwards or forwards. Weirdly, rotating our options, weighing odds; caught in bristling cyberspace or a stone corbelled chamber. Either way, it'll make you dizzy. Once is as it ever was, ever shall be: Gods walk out upon a path of stars. * Is recollection seeing anew, old pieces, rearranged, seemingly? Letting go of nothing suggests: (like) air conditioning, computer hum. Waiting for nothing. Omphalos; world-centre, mind nadir, still point about which everything revolves. God's paper chase. Omphalos, mind's umbilical. Stone sunk to bottom of the lake is memory, incarnation. Mind skip back before instinct saw dark eclipse. Sky shield. Moon boss. Through vast chthonic reservoirs, horizon, swept aside. * So. Earth's most dramatic 'bald spot', (ozone hole) is down to 15 million sq miles over Antarctica as of Oct, 2002. Shrinkage, Big Time. One year's reading on reduced cfcs doth not a trend make. Is this happy hour? Fewer recalcitrants maced? Hair-gel instead of hair spray? Asthmatic winds rake pebbles in dry Arctic valleys. Presidents and dictators square off. Puritanism v Tribalism. Doomsday's a syndicated affair. Life's Good. * I wanted to reach my hand into the side of that mountain. The Romans waited, the Jews died. Made a sacrificial altar, such as Abraham had to his God. A small cave, pocketed at the base of Massada. Better death than surrender - a courageous act for living against the odds. Day by day danger renews, retribution neither diminishes nor goes away. To every Age a new generation, bigger weapons to sound the void. * Your breasts in the mirror, still life of gourds. Bossed shields. The white-washed room peeled, flaked, wooden shutters opened on the small harbour quay a restaurateur tipped his garbage casually into the Mediterranean. A night of fish bones, cigarette butts, bobbed in an oily slick. West, into shadow, Ant'nošs anchored off the headland, outboard silenced, dynamite exploding like an octopus under a shoal of fish beneath. * Alcatraz not Minoan ruins. Morning mist hangs its garden off Golden Gate bridge. Men in fog loom large. Fog or ram's horn? Container ship - warrior barge, passes under with another load of Japanese cars to feast upon freeways. 'Straight guys are at a premium' you said. (Or so I overheard). Seven months under your roof in your bed. I never got to Texas - never hit Route 66. Marooned on my Isle, deep within that lustful, solitary confinement. * Do words bring to mind flat sided buildings, cliff face, waterfall? Each emotion to its respective season and climate. Age means era, epoch, each physical transformation (our) body plays out. Journey from foot to fossil print, the single breath, misting to humidness. Blood shadows a dense valley; untidy buildings, an old saw-mill; blood thins to Gods' ichor. I approach you like a drive-in movie. Memory's what we miss, we spool reels of it. * Serpent-backed bridge profiled: the city, chalk-toned, laid out like a shooting gallery. From Green Point (sub-net ghosting to Georges Head) a V of gulls speedily hugging the harbour; its surface serried, grey disturbances. Wind grain. Yachts coasting, canvas slap. Manly ferries, (green, beige upperwork) slide between white, salt-shaker buoys. Trouble in Paradise? Never! Spring thunder ain't no car bomb. * One quadrant of sky turns, face up, black as the ace of spades. Much as a God can manage muttering from the side of his mouth. Star flecks, nova spittle. Rage of emptiness pours through, for the hell of it, endlessly. Looking back to what beginning. The whole shebang advances toward, beyond our best efforts. We live under a Niagra of star fall, huge optics dilate time, blackness like velvet slips over chrome. Sounds of nothingness strung between a singlet of lights. * Barrel of the sun, gun-wad, cloud packed, cools to Napoleonic afterglow. The sun is soldier and hero, after all; always on call to strike the last pose, profiling its rays across the grateful landscape. Ragged mountains lift up to meet it, plains puff out chests, the sea a carnival of light, ice packs bristle, glaciers growl. Time spins on a coin. Horizon shakes its dirty mat over cityscape, over glass and concrete conspiracies roads burn fuses into nightways. * Rubbed off sky exposes an undercoat of white that is really fuzzed, mid-day heat. Birds change over shifts. Things settle. Shadow drops under eaves, tier by tier. Melaleuca is a snowstorm of bloom in a backyard. Planes arrive from here and there; holiday makers, the injured and dead, today's interchangeable destines. A night club blows up in a tropical paradise. In the slipstream above the stratosphere, fear drifts about the globe as deadly pollen. * The day combustible as a nightclub. Destruction works in big, blunt gestures. An explosion is no rediscovery, it's return without guide to the deepest sink hole from whence hell's laughter issues. A sucking into nothingness; void behind the twin masks of light and dark. Not repetition but continuance. Pre-beginnings. A precise point of death qua death, not infinity but limitlessness, pain's spectrum. * Compression of bees, shrub-shaped, in proton loops, on cushioned air. Spring! See the counter, its bright ticking with fail-safe growth. Who put it there? this tubular, tight package, green and red wires running to hidden terminals - watch the numerals flick over, air fill with warmth, this thing ready to go off at a season's notice, a bursting forth, flash of filmic green and bloom too quick to catch as we exit our buildings in a rush to see it. * Scent makes the air visible, seasonal; autumn lays its long scaffolding of shadow under wood smoke; winter smells of damp brickwork; spring lifts the lid on lighter smells - is something between cleaning fluids or garden. Only late at night true secrets and scents are disclosed; summer tightens. Scent is a map of an ancient journey. The poem prints makes a seal of every season, its message delivered and read. An Actual Encounter With The Sun On My Balcony At France Street ( for Gloria Schwartz ) When the moon slipped its knot and left a ring for the night to drop through, and a baggage of stars thudded on the loading bay at the other side of the world, I heard, "Ho! get up you slack-arse poet, I want to have a word with you." It was the sun. "This is a surprise," I yawned. "Shouldn't be - you're the one whose been whingeing about his own personal light." "I must admit," I conceded, "I was worried there for a bit." "Right," answered the sun. He spat at the window turning it molten. "You must know by now Stephen, I visit with a poet every thirty years or so. Last time it was Frank O'Hara, and before that, Mayakovsky. Can't say it's your turn but I'll stop by anyway. You're not a poet for all time but for your own time. Don't worry about it. And forget those supposed poets the M=E=Z=Z=A=N=I=N=E=S as you call them caught between the floors: they ain't going nowhere. So get up and make a cup of tea!" "Sure, care to join me?" "Only for a minute," he said, "I've got more important things to do today, like glinting off the Hauraki Gulf and the iron-clad poppy of Sydney Tower. Oh, that reminds me, then I'm off to San Francisco to wake up that ex-girlfriend of yours you keep pissing off with late night calls and false promises." By now I could see the sun was pretty worked up. "C'mon, forget that crap. You write some good stuff but you've got to hang in there, and like me it'll come to light." "Thanks sun." "And knock off the guilt trips and stop getting pissed (in your Sydney dreams, pal!) you'll burn yourself out - I recognise the signs." "Yeah, seems I have been a little preoccupied." The sun jumped onto my balcony outside the window. "You don't see much of me down here at POETS' PALACE - do you? Move over, this is the only time I get a look in." I propped myself up on one elbow. "Remember, you're not writing bus-timetables and calling it 'performance poetry' like a few I could name. Stick with the atmospherics, the true essence of people. That's your angle, as mine is now to brow beat you. And don't get into this doomsday kick either, leave such things to the Honestly, it's straight forward focus." By now my hangover had evaporated. "Hold on sun, I've a few questions." "Sorry," called the sun, receding. (small minded). "We've had our little talk. Give my regards to Greece again, if you ever get there." And he was gone and I got up to another beginning, and a day. Stephen Oliver b. 1950. Grew in Brooklyn-west, Wellington, New Zealand. One year Magazine Journalism course, Wellington Polytechnic.

This book review is included by the request of the author, and with permission of Nicholas Reid: Stephen Oliver Deadly Pollen [Middletown NJ: Word Riot Press, 2003]; and Ballads, Satire & Salt [Sydney: Greywacke Press, 2003]. Review by Nicholas Reid. First Appeared: JAS Review of Books. Stephen Oliver's anthology of 2001, Night of Warehouses, brought together the work of a poet who combines an astonishing facility for image with a complete assurance of voice, while showing a deep engagement with the poetic tradition . Two new collections, Ballads, Satire & Salt and Deadly Pollen, will do much to extend that reputation. The former is subtitled 'A Book of Diversions' and displays Oliver's sardonic wit and verbal inventiveness, along with a fine set of illustrations by Matt Ottley. The book's light verse moves from political satire ('Think Big') to a series of reflections on the poets of this and the last generation, ranging from Larkin and Auden to the major figures in recent New Zealand writing. Wit explained is wit ruined, however, and so I shall not comment at length on what is an impressive work. Oliver's other new collection, Deadly Pollen, is an ambitious undertaking - a meditation, in large measure, on Wallace Stevens and his legacy - and brings together thirty-five short lyrics into a loosely linked sequence which examines the state of the world after 9/11. And the poem is not 'merely' political, for it diagnoses a state of spiritual malaise based on fear, a state of crisis in which the role of the poet is in question. So far, so good. But if this is a crisis poem, it is also a crisis in which (and this is my reservation) I find it difficult to believe, though it has been the subject of much recent American commentary. And in any case, there is also an enormous amount to admire in the language and in the range of reference. I can convey something of the fineness of Oliver's craftsmanship in his translation of Horace's 'Pyrrha' ode, a translation which fits into Oliver's theme of disillusionment, and of his modernist distrust of beauty in person and in diction. The quiet intensity, and the distanced, almost intellectualized sensuality, of the language in which Oliver brings alive the golden-haired Pyrrha, Horace's femme fatale, is perfect: Pyrrha, your dewy hair, yellow, scented, doubly wreathed in Jasmine, fresh from the trellis this morning.... (lyric 12) Nor is Oliver's ambition here as limited as it might seem, for in taking on such a translation Oliver is setting himself up against a history of translations, and most notably one by Milton. It is a challenge in which he succeeds admirably. And in the later lines of the lyric, Oliver marks his disengagement by a withdrawal into a more demotic register. For while he is adept at finding occasion for the lyrical richness of which modernism was always suspicious, he also writes at times in a spare modern voice, as in the following lines which may owe something to the New Zealand poet Curnow's 'Canto of Signs': Rubbed off sky exposes an undercoat of white that is really fuzzed, mid-day heat. Birds change over shifts. Things settle. Shadow drops under eaves, tier by tier .... (lyric 32) The language here has a powerful antipodean flatness, and depends on its laconic pauses. And if 'things settle', it is because, as the allusion to Yeats suggests, things are about to fall apart; and we move to images of Bali. Oliver goes on in a following lyric to demonstrate his gift for image, in his intense visualization of Spring's strange bloom, the terrorist's bomb: Compression of bees, shrub-shaped, in proton loops, on cushioned air. Spring! See the counter, its bright ticking with fail-safe growth. (lyric 34) Political poets do not always manage to capture so well the estrangement which is necessary for successful social comment. Similarly, Oliver demonstrates an unsettled verbal mastery in a bravura display, a description of architectural form: ... Complex of accented runs, angles, drops, sluices, pumps, ditches, endless unbowed archways... (lyric 11) The language here is finely controlled, from the way in which the 'x' sound is perfectly balanced in the opening phrase, to the series of falling monosyllables which are released in the enjambed expansiveness of the final phrase with its open vowels. The language is reminiscent of Les Murray's 'Bent Water' (surely Murray's masterpiece). But the lines I have just quoted continue in rhythms which, while still lyrical, are also more unsettling: 'archways, treatment ponds breaking into/sunlight'. For where Murray's language embodies a confident belief in God, Oliver's has been a celebration of a public sewer - and more to the point, a sewer envisioned but (in an act of creative failure) never built. Late in the poem, Oliver brings together these themes in a grim reflection upon the role of the poet - in a voice in which the emotion is italicized but never allowed to run outside its bounds: One quadrant of sky turns, face up, black as the ace of spades. Much as a God can manage muttering from the side of his mouth. Star flecks, nova spittle. Rage of emptiness pours through, for the hell of it, endlessly. Looking back to what beginning. The whole shebang advances toward, beyond our best efforts. We live under a Niagra of star fall, huge optics dilate time, blackness like velvet slips over chrome. Sounds of nothingness strung between a singlet of lights. (lyric 30). This is vintage Oliver. The language is elaborate, but perfectly judged, undercut by a colloquial impulse ('black as the ace of spades', 'for the hell / of it'). This undersong speaks of Oliver's awareness of his place as a poet of the vernacular republic; but it also speaks, in its use of cliche, of a loss of faith in the resources of poetic language. And something similar can be said of its use of Stevens, for where Stevens is the poet who brought romantic metaphysics to its final crisis, and with it the end of any hope of finding essential meaning in the world, Oliver's use of Stevens here seems also an act of deliberate failure. The stanza alludes to Stevens's Jove, a false divinity who 'moved among us, as a muttering king' in 'Sunday Morning', and to that poem's existential conclusion that (contra Milton) 'We live in an old chaos of the sun'. Like Stevens in 'Key West', Oliver laments the 'Blessed rage for order', the 'glassy lights' which gave a bogus sense of structure to the sea. But in a sense, and an important sense, much of the language of Oliver's stanza is the language of Stevens: it is an eloquent testament to a failure to find in the present a viable voice for poetry. Clearly there is much in this sequence which I find powerful, and respond to warmly. Many of the lyrics are perfect, and thematically the poem traverses many of the issues which are at the heart of poetry today: from the modernist legacy of deep worries over memory and metaphor, to a more contemporary juxtaposition of dictions and registers, and a concern with post-modernism and the end of history. It is a sequence which is not afraid to take on Stevens, or Milton and Hardy and Auden. But I would like to see it slightly reshaped, for I feel that there is a great poem hiding in here somewhere, if only I could be persuaded more of its motivation. I think fear does lie at the heart of its psychology, but the real fear is artistic rather than political; and if this could be worked more into the texture of the poem, along with some editing of the poem's middle section, we would have a major achievement not only in Oliver's oeuvre, but in antipodean writing. ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DEADLY POLLEN*** ******* This file should be named 11522.txt or 11522.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.net/1/1/5/2/11522 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org. Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. works. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, compressed (zipped), HTML and others. Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving new filenames and etext numbers. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: http://www.gutenberg.net This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular search system you may utilize the following addresses and just download by the etext year. http://www.ibiblio.org/gutenberg/etext06 (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: http://www.gutenberg.net/1/0/2/3/10234 or filename 24689 would be found at: http://www.gutenberg.net/2/4/6/8/24689 An alternative method of locating eBooks: http://www.gutenberg.net/GUTINDEX.ALL *** END: FULL LICENSE *** For

Save the Dates and Wedding Invites
Antique Filigree Pocket Invitations We ordered our save the dates and wedding invitations from Magnet Street and we are very satisfied! The formats they provide give you tons of options and ideas. We changed the colors and paper material (switched to the luxe pearl it is definitely work the extra money and isn't too shiny) from what was originally provided with our chosen format and it is gorgeous. We also paid to have return addresses and guest addresses printed on the invitations, definitely worth the extra cost and made our life way easier. Everything came on time and I would highly recommend Magnet Street to everyone!!!
So amazing
Tender Tendril Foldover Pockets I just have to say I got my save the dates and my wedding invitations and they were both amazing. It was so easy to customize them online and once I ordered them they were here in no more than a week. I did need to change something after I approved them and they were able to change it for me. There is nothing that was not perfect! Highly recommend!
Absolutely Beautiful!
Hawaiian Turtle Pocket Invitations The invitations were everything my fiancé and I wanted, and more. I am incredibly pleased with every aspect of the invitation, and with how prompt delivery was. These are probably the nicest invitations for a wedding I have ever seen!

Future Shop was a Canadian electronics store chain. First established in 1982 by Hassan Khosrowshahi, by 1990, the chain had become the country's largest retailer of computer and consumer electronics. As of January 2013, the company operated 139 locations across Canada.
In November 2001, Future Shop was acquired by the American consumer electronics store chain Best Buy for $580 million. Although Best Buy would begin to establish Canadian locations under its own brand following the purchase, it continued to operate the Future Shop stores as a separate brand, even though many of the new locations were in close proximity to existing Future Shop stores.
On March 28, 2015, Best Buy announced the immediate closure of all Future Shop locations; 65 of the former locations are slated to converted to Best Buy stores, while the remaining 66 (primarily those in proximity to a Best Buy) were closed permanently.[1]
Future Shop was founded in 1982 by Iranian entrepreneur Hassan Khosrowshahi, who left Iran to settle in Vancouver, British Columbia to start a retail business.[2] Khosrowshahi graduated from the University of Tehran with a degree in law and economics and was a part of the family who owned the Minoo Industrial Group, a large Iran manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products. Khosrowshahi planned to open a chain of consumer and home electronics stores and take over the Canadian retail market. His associate, Ardeshir Ziabakhsh (Ardy Zia), took the role of president and CEO of the newly formed company and Khosrowshahi served as chairman and founder. In 1983, Future Shop opened the first three stores, all of which were in British Columbia. The company sold computers, software, games, videocassettes, audio equipment, music, and other items. By December 1983, the first month all of the Future Shop stores were opened and making business, the company reached $2.8 million in sales.[2]
By 1990, Future Shop became the largest retailer of computers and consumer electronics in Canada and was operating 38 stores across the country and parts of the United States.[1][2] In August 1993, Future Shop went public on the Toronto Stock Exchange, making $30 million to be used for expansion and to pay off debt.
By the end of 1995, Future Shop's sales had reached more than $1 billion, with more than $38 million EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization)
In 1997, Future Shop announced a change in management, with Ziabakhsh leaving the company. Khosrowshahi took on the roles of president and CEO, in addition to serving as chairman. Many people from company headquarters were let go during this transitional period.
In December 2011, Future Shop opened its first liquidation centre Greenfield Park, Quebec.[3]
At the end of March,[year needed] Future Shop's Canadian division had produced record-setting sales and earnings for the company. However, the company's earnings were down 20 percent from the previous year, because of many losses caused by its failing U.S. operations. Despite plans for more locations in the U.S. over the next several years, the company instantly stopped any new plans for further United States expansion until the existing U.S. stores improved their sales performance figures.
Focusing on Canadian markets[edit]
In 1998, Future Shop purchased the Canadian division of Computer City from CompUSA, three months after the Computer City chain had been merged into CompUSA and either converted to CompUSA or closed and liquidated. During the next year, two of the Computer City retail stores were liquidated because of poor sales. In addition, the competing Adventure Electronics in Ontario and Quebec closed, leaving Future Shop as the only big-box electronics retailer in Canada.
By the end of 1998, the U.S. locations of Future Shop were performing badly, with $53 million in losses over the last few years, and Future Shop projected another $30 million in losses would occur by the end of the next year. After major losses in sales, in March 1999, the company announced that it would close U.S. operations, holding liquidation sales and closing down in the summer.[4] The closures left Future Shop with 81 stores across Canada. Many of the former stores ended up converting to one of its major U.S. competitors, Best Buy.
In 2000, Future Shop owned 83 Future Shop stores and five Computer City stores. In June 2000, Future Shop announced plans to open flagship stores in downtown Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal.
In February 2001, Future Shop announced that the company would close and liquidate the five remaining Computer City stores because of poor sales. At the same time, Future Shop also attempted to acquire Chapters, a chain of book stores in Canada, but failed to come up with a reasonable offer.[5]
Best Buy buyout[edit]
In March 2001, American-based Best Buy acquired Future Shop for $580 million Canadian. Future Shop was to be run as a separate division as "Best Buy Canada". The acquisition caused Khosrowshahi to step down as president. The other executives from Future Shop retained their positions within the company.
Best Buy Canada had continued to operate Future Shop as a separate division, with most locations under their original name. Some new Future Shop stores were added, most recently in South Edmonton Common in Edmonton. The company also renovated some of its stores to focus more on product specialty areas, to separate video games into their own department, and to create a central "hub" featuring employees specializing in connecting different devices together. The first such renovated Future Shop store opened in August 2008 at Park Royal Shopping Centre in West Vancouver, British Columbia.
In a few cases across the country, either the existing Future Shop location was in the same shopping centre as the more-recently opened Best Buy location or the two stores opened in tandem in close proximity. Examples include Lansdowne Centre in Richmond, British Columbia; Heartland Town Centre in Mississauga, Ontario; Centre Laval, Laval, Quebec; Marché Central in Montreal; Promenades Saint-Bruno, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Quebec; Merivale Road in Ottawa; in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador; and Northland Village Mall in Calgary. The former Future Shop store in Montreal inside Carrefour Angrignon had been converted to Best Buy in 2005, even though Future Shop moved nearby outside the mall before that.
Downsizing and closure[edit]
On January 31, 2013, Best Buy announced that it would begin to close various locations, including 8 Future Shop locations effective immediately, as part of a "long-term transformational strategy to optimize the company's retail footprint across the country." The company also planned to target more resources toward its online retail operations to compete against other major online retailers such as Amazon.com.[6] These closures included locations in New Westminster, Nanaimo, Victoria, Langford, Surrey, Lachenaie, and Sherbrooke.[7][8][1] On January 30, 2014, 950 employees across both brands were laid off.[7]
In 2014 and 2015, other Future Shop locations were closed, including those in Boucherville, Greenfield Park,[9] Montreal,[10] Ottawa,[11] Regina,[12] Kingston,[13] New Minas,[14] and New Glasgow.[15]
On March 28, 2015, Best Buy announced that as part of a consolidation process, all Future Shop locations would be closed effective immediately, and that it would begin the process of converting 65 of them into Best Buy-branded stores to re-open the following week. The other 66 locations will remain closed permanently: Best Buy argued that these closures and re-brandings were intended to reduce redundancy, as the affected stores were located within close proximity of a Best Buy—sometimes within the same lot as each other. The closures resulted in the loss of 1,000 part-time and 500 full-time jobs. In turn, the company announced that it would invest $200 million into its remaining Canadian locations, and begin to offer home appliances across all Best Buy stores in Canada.[6]

Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 6
Mixed: 6 out of 6
Negative: 0 out of 6
Unfortunately, as with many Verve albums, Bar's dreamy tempos and strung-out riffs, while fragile and beautiful, start to fade into a middling mess of sameness around the middle of the disc. [March 2003, p.98]
The real problem is that Lupine Howl doesn't really do enough here to distinguish itself from other bands, drawing from such obvious influences as the Rolling Stones and the Doors, and in a lot of ways the album sounds like a tour of '90s retro-influenced bands like the Charlatans, Oasis, or even the Black Crowes.
An eerily precise facsimile of the grandiose, broken-down dream rock of The Verve.... Close your eyes and it could be 1997 again. [Nov 2002, p.105]
True to form, The Bar at the End of the World is an all or nothing album. From its first moment, it is bombastic, pompous, obscure to the point of disturbing.

Tempering metal ?
A question of those that know. I plan to twist a piece of 1/2" X 2" flat strap stock 90 degrees only, by heating it with a torch and twisting. I want it to retain its strength, yet be able to drill a hole or two in it if need be.
To retain the strength of the metal, should I let it cool naturally, plunge it into water ? oil ? .
How does all that work ?
Thanks in advance.
Bill P.
If its not a carbon steel, you can crush a carbon rod out of the inside of a D-cell battery and wrap you'r metal in foil with the crushed carbon and you will have case hardened if heated to red heat and let cool...
Thanks guys, I do really appreciate it. I got it done, by clamping a big piece of I beam to the workbench, then clamping the bar to the I beam. It took longer than I figured to get that half inch X 2" bar red hot, then I had to put a piece of pipe for a cheater on the big pipe wrench. It may be just a tiny hair off 90 degrees, but close enough for govt. work as they say. I wound up with a slight drop on the short end of the bar from bearing down on the pipe wrench, but that "accident" will work out perfectly for what I am going to use it for. That size bar is pretty strong stuff and should be more than adequate for any application connected with a Garden tractor implement, outside of something truely extreme which is not in my plans. I will post some pics in a day or two of how it turns out.
I just did not want to weaken the metal, nor to make it too hard to drill and was not sure about changing any temperment of the metal.
What you guys responded with is appreciated and it is good to know., Thanks.
Bill P.
O.K. as promised, here is that twisted bar. What is it for?
Hooked up to middle buster / bedder, looks like it should work well, plenty of range of motion and multiple adjustments on plow to set the plane so it can do its job right.
Hung out to dry:
Looks nice!
Also looks like mild steel, so like they said, no need to worry about its losing its hardness... it didn't have any to begin with. If it breaks, just make it out of a thicker chunk next time...
You probably don't want to case harden it - all that would do would give it a harder outer shell, but the bulk of the piece would still be the same hardness as what you started with. Since its purpose is to bear a tensile load, no need for a hard surface. Just my opine.
Thanks Rich, I appreciate the opine. It seems to be plenty strong for my needs, I took the plow off and used the hitch part with a reavy rear blade that I bolted on thru those two bolt holes there. It handles that alright.
I also appreciate your good info in the resonse about machining steel rod. That however, is for an entirely different application, steel guitar slide bars. There is so much about them that I do not know, being pretty much of an amatuer in that field, just kinda stumbled into the possibility of making some for a guy that is somewhat famous for the ones that he markets around the world via a website and ebay, but mostly from noted players word of mouth comments on their forums and that type of stuff. He has been getting them made way too cheaply then doing his "thing" to them to make them unique and consequently his signature stuff, but his supplier is retiring so he is looking for another source. Since I am a customer, he mentioned it to me. In the conversation, he mentioned some tapered ones, and the thing about freezing stainless for 7 days to make it harder so that the wound steel strings would not cut grooves in it as easily with prolonged use. The surface would be what is important on that, not the tensile strength. The powdercoated ones are probably going to wind up with grooves anyway if they are used on the wound steel strings for quite a while. Heck, I might be better off with one with grooves in it than I would with one that is real slick.
I do appreciate it.
Bill P.
Hmmm. I'll have to research the frozend SS hardening a bit more.
Somehow I dimly recall hearing about hardening steel in liquid nitrogen. I will have to look into this some more.
I can see how steel guitar strings could wear away a metal slide. On the one hand you want the slide to last. On the other hand you may not want it so hard that it wears out the strings...
Thanks for jogging my memory. I recall that some heat hardneable stainless steels can be further hardened by cryogenic treatment. I believe there are some types of kitchen knives that claim to use this process. However from what I can gather it's a tricky and not entirely reproducible process.
I put more information in your machining rods thread. If you can find a copy of the Machinery Handbook, there's more inforamtion there, as well, about cryogenic treatment of steel.

Glock Magazine Glock 38 45 GAP 8-Round Polymer Black
Product #: 799654 Glock #: MF38008 UPC #: 764503380082
Product Information
This is a factory original, drop-free magazine for your Glock. Glock magazines have a hardened steel insert encased in high tech polymer. This polymer coating protects the magazine and prevents deformation, even when dropped from a great height.
Technical Information:
NOTE: All current production Glock magazines are also compatible with all previous generations of Glock pistols.
Technical Information:
- Glock magazines have very stiff springs when new and may be extremely difficult to load to full capacity. It may be necessary to use a Glock magazine loader (generally included in the Glock case with the handgun) to load the magazine to capacity or near capacity.
- If the last round appears impossible to load, for example if the magazine should hold 15 rounds and it will only accept 14, leave it loaded with 14 rounds for several days to allow the spring's tension to decrease. After a short time, the magazine should then accept its full capacity, but it may still be necessary to use the magazine loader. After several cycles of full capacity through empty, the magazine will be easier to load.
NOTE: All current production Glock magazines are also compatible with all previous generations of Glock pistols.

Popular Plums Recipes
Plums are often used as desserts, but they can shine as part of the main course, too. Enjoy recipes such as Country Ribs with Dried Plum Barbecue Sauce, Grilled Plum Chicken Kabobs, or Chicken with Apricots and Dried Plums.
Fruit Triangles
Dress up dessert by wrapping dried fruit in phyllo dough. These mini pies are a healthy and delicious way to finish any meal!
From Diabetic Living
Plum Galettes
A rustic browned butter pastry crust surrounds a tender plum filling. Whipped cream cheese acts as the "sauce" for this dessert pizza.

Slow Cooker Gingerbread Cake
For a unique twist on fruitcake, try this gingerbread-flavored cake that bakes completely in your slow cooker (to save oven space for your holiday roast).
From Parents
Honey-Lavender Plum Gratin
Infusing milk with lavender buds perfumes the honey-sweetened custard, creating an unusual, lovely backdrop for juicy plums. A quick pass under the broiler caramelizes the top. Note: Because the custard is stabilized with cornstarch, you can let it reach a gentle simmer.
From EatingWell
Low-Sugar Plum Spread
This simple homemade fruit spread has less than one-fourth the calories and one-third the carbohydrate grams of a common commercial variety (you can trim those numbers even further by opting for no-calorie sweetener). Cooking the plums in fruit juice with apples allows you to sweeten the spread without an excessive amount of sugar and take advantage of the natural pectin in the fruit. This method also works well with strawberries, blackberries or peaches.
From EatingWell
Plum & Apple Compote with Vanilla Custard
Jennifer Sanders of Cambridge, Ontario, came up with this winning combination of plums and apples, which she stews into a compote and accompanies with a light and comforting custard sauce.

Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Plums
Lush vanilla- and rosemary-scented plums marry beautifully with succulent pork tenderloin.
From EatingWell
Sour Cherry-Fruit Slump
A slump (sometimes called a grunt) is a cobbler with light, puffy steamed dumplings, rather than browned biscuit dough, on the top. This variation calls for tart "pie" cherries as well as an assortment of sweeter summer fruit (berries and plums) to round out the flavor and brighten the sour-cherry color. Recipe by Nancy Baggett.
From EatingWell
Old-Fashioned Fruit Crumble
Use whatever fresh or frozen fruit you have on hand to make this old-fashioned crumble. Typical crumble topping has as much as a half cup of butter--ours has just a tablespoon of canola oil and, for richness, chopped almonds, which are full of healthy monounsaturated fats.
From EatingWell
Shrimp & Plum Kebabs
Toss quick-cooking shrimp, juicy summertime plums and zesty jalapenos with a simple cilantro-lime marinade for a deluxe meal in minutes. If you like, use peaches or nectarines in place of the plums and red or green bell peppers for the jalapenos.

Big, Bigger, Biggest Plum Pies
The recipe for this dessert calls for Pluots--a cross between plums and apricots. Pluots have a much higher sugar content, making them spectacularly sweet.
