Melbourne Property Investment
Melbourne property investment levels have had an exceptional couple of years for price growth, and with the ever increasing population growth rate of the Victorian capital 2015 appears to be a good time to invest in the Melbourne property market. However, property investors need to be selective as some areas of Melbourne have been increasing in value with good returns and other locations with issues of oversupply have not done so over the past 12 months.
The Melbourne property market for the first quarter 2015 on average has the lowest investment property rental yields of any capital city - just 3.3 per cent for houses and 4.2 per cent for units according to RP Data. Rental growth is also subdued, with house rents in the last quarter falling by 1.3 per cent and units up by just 1.4 per cent. Across metropolitan Melbourne, the vacancy rate is a healthy 2.7 per cent, according to SQM research. However, in Docklands and the CBD, availability is around 5.6 per cent. By contrast, the vacancy rate in popular middle-ring suburbs is as low as 1.9 per cent on average.
Overall, Victoria continues to deliver strong returns for property investors, despite concerns about the future stability of the Melbourne property market due to oversupply in some areas. A key factor is Melbourne's continuing strong population growth. The latest population figures for Australia show that Melbourne had the largest population growth of all capital cities, increasing by 95,700 people. That growth has seen Melbourne's population grow to 4.4 million. Melbourne is also gradually closing in on Sydney (4.8 million) as the nation's biggest city.
Factors influencing Melbourne's investment property market in 2015:
The Melbourne investment property market has performed very well in recent years. Melbourne continues to experience strong population growth from overseas. Victoria's population has significantly increased above the national average and it is expected to continue doing so in 2015 and beyond. This, along with the gradual rebalance of the marginal oversupply of property for investment, ensures that pressure remains on residential investment property prices in the long term.
Stick to property investing fundamentals and ignore opinions as to where the market is going, whether good or bad. Buying strong investment properties is more about asset selection rather than timing. Timing is impossible to consistently get right. Don't wait for the right time to buy. Wait for the right property to buy.
Like any real estate investment, locating and purchasing the right investment property in the right suburb requires careful consideration and research. Buyers should look for suburbs that have strong positive attributes (more details in our info pack). For example overall appeal, good public transport, good schools, shops, close to arterials and above all, invest in areas that are consistently showing a growth in population.
Affordability. Melbourne residential and investment property sector is performing well and many analysts predict it to continue doing so. Melbourne also continues to show value when considered with the price levels in Sydney.
Pent up demand. Caution required in the short term, many leading economic forecasters believe there is an oversupply of new housing in Victoria especially in the inner city areas of Docklands and the CBD.
High consumer confidence motivates people to make more long term decisions such as purchasing a new home.
Improved immigration numbers. Melbourne's population is now increasing at a faster rate than most other capital cities, with the exception of Perth and Brisbane, which will ultimately leading to an increase in the demand for housing and investment. Population growth is around 2% - well above the national average of 1.8%.
Overview 2015 and beyond
Remember, that when you select a unit as an investment, succumbing to the lure of tax savings is a fundamental mistake for investors. You do not attain financial independence through saving tax - you gain financial independence through the ongoing capital growth of your assets. So, get the location and returns right and the capital growth should follow.
The Annual Return Index measures the capital growth of an investment property together with net rental income, to give an accurate comparison between Australia's cities. Melbourne's investment property market is making another steady start in 2015 and seems set to continue to do so in the long term. Property investors should be very selective in terms of suburbs they consider for investment property. As always, look at the level of infrastructure and population growth of any property location and market in Melbourne including vacancy rates. Comparisons between the Capital cities are best considered over 7 to 10 year periods with Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane continuing to be good options for property investment in the future.

Each environment has a specific culture. Questioning authority is a tenet of some cultures, and in other cultures, it is seen as disrespectful or even dangerous. The lunar change from Taurus to Gemini suggests there are different rules governing early and later parts of the day, both easily navigated as long as you are paying attention.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Consider that the same walls you erect to keep yourself safe will keep you isolated. Don't let your defenses separate you from those to whom you most need to be close.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The attitude for tearing down is very different from the frame of mind needed to repair and restore. It may be challenging to shift gears, but that's what needs to happen to handle the challenges of the day.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have wanted certain things from a relationship that didn't and won't happen. These expectations or demands were simply ill placed. You can still get what you need elsewhere.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). New faces will breathe excitement into your scene. You're not worried that a new star will come in and steal the show, though others won't be as welcoming as you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When warnings are issued, you do not stand back and ponder whether the threat is idle. You go on the alert, acting to secure your position. Your quick response will bring good luck.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Paths converge. From your point of view, it's your road. From the other person's point of view, it's his. Letting each other pass peaceably will be better than putting up a fight.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Reliability isn't a flashy virtue, and yet there will be an attractive aura of goodness around the reliable person in your life today. (You strive to fill this role, and it's entirely possible that you are the most reliable person you know.)
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone you deal with is unique, and yet some will stand out as more unique than others. The right combination of words will help you build rapport with this odd character.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Mistakes can build bonds. Consider that a smooth operator may make mistakes on purpose in order to give the other person a more authoritative (and involved) stance in the interaction.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Conflict is necessary. Tension can be the best thing that happens to a relationship, producing a far better result than the lackluster product of constant agreement.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Games can be fun, but there's a point at which playing roles and executing moves gets exhausting. Anyway, today there's no time to waste in wondering who a person wants you to be.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). That posturing person will stop bothering you once you appease his or her overblown need for attention. You'd like to withhold your attention, but that's silly. Giving will take up so little of your time.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 30). You feel free to experiment this year and will have fun trying on different behaviors and styles of communicating. You'll acquire a cherished possession in May, which will play into a new social direction. June brings family additions. Business dominates in July and August, and you'll come up with a winning strategy. Libra and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 14, 26 and 15.
JOURNAL PROMPTS FOR VENUS IN PISCES: Connecting with others is easier when we know ourselves and are in touch with our own offerings and needs. You can set yourself up for relationship success in May by taking advantage of the wisdom available on these last days of Venus in Pisces. Here are some prompts that may help as you reflect on your current relationships.
What are the qualities I bring to my relationships?
When it comes to love, what do I expect myself to give?
What is easy for me to give, and what is not so easy?
What do I need from the people in my life?
Do my current exchanges seem healthy? Why or why not?
What am I grateful for?
What is the most beautiful part?
What is missing?
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Immortalized in his child actor form in the holiday classic "Christmas Vacation," Johnny Galecki has had a long string of career successes before the explosive success of "The Big Bang Theory." Taurus actors have an advantage in comedy because their down-to-earth sensibility keeps them from falling out of touch with comedy's essence: truth and pain.

1. Re: Text item with autocomplete and empty return values in jsPatrick Wolf-Oracle Nov 12, 2010 12:41 PM (in response to j.gauger)Hi Jens,
the problem seems to be the default behavior of the browser. When you enter some text into the autocomplete and the list is displayed, the focus is still in the text field. Also if you use the keyboard cursors to pick an entry the focus will still be in the textfield. That's why the change event of the textfield doesn't fire. It only fires if you leave the field.
I had a look into documentation of the underlaying jQuery Autocomplete widget (http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/) and there is actually an event called "result" which can be captures if an entry is selected from the drop down list.
In your APEX page you can use the following example:
To display and alert if the value has changed.
apex.jQuery('#P7_DEPT').bind('result', function(){ alert('result: '+$v('P7_DEPT'));});
Note 1: Be aware that this event only fires if the user picks a value. It doesn't fire if he enters a non-existing value and leaves the field.
Note 2: That event might change in the future if we use a different autocomplete widget which would break your existing code. So use the above tip at your own risk :-)

I've tried provided solution but still can not bind Text field autocomplete in APEX 4.0.

Where exactly in the page the apex.jQuery have to be placed. Any additional code needs to be written?

Forty-seven teams from eight countries gathered at Miami's Coral Reef Yacht Club for the Etchells winter season finale. The eighth annual Coral Reef Cup sponsored by Mount Gay Rum served as the 2014 Etchells U.S. National Championship.
Winning team.... shows how fast they really are
The forecast for the three-day event was tricky, with a stalled front and no wind predicted for the final day on Sunday. The Coral Reef Yacht Club Race Committee headed by PRO Brian Fink planned on running as many races as possible on Friday and Saturday just in case Sunday turned out to be a drifter. The first day of racing turned out instead to be anything but easy. The medium wind estimate turned out to be a very light and shifty S/SW at six knots with lots of holes on the race course.
After a short postponement, the fleet was working its way to the weather mark in a tricky southwesterly. GBR 1379 with Robert Elliott, Stuart Childerley, Sam Richmond and Jed Lee on board captured the first race of the event followed by SUI 1403 – Seamus McHugh. The second race again saw very light and shifty conditions.
Team Lifted accepting the trophy from CRYC Commodore Larry Reeder - 2014 Etchells Nationals
Raging Rooster's Peter Duncan, Jud Smith and Tom Blackwell won Race Two. Wind speeds had dropped to four knots on the final run and the Race Committee pulled the plug on Day One. After a day of very trying conditions, there was a tie at the top of the standings with Peter Duncan and Robert Elliot each posting 11 points. Nothing helps a frustrating day of sailing better than cold rum drinks on beautiful warm Miami evening. More than 150 sailors enjoyed generous cocktails sponsored by Mount Gay and shared their versions of the day's events. The Race Committee posted an early start time for Saturday, so it was off to bed early.
Day Two showed more promise with winds projected to build as the day progressed. With the outlook still bleak for Sunday, it was going to be a long day on the water for this fleet. Race 3 started in a fairly light and fluky southerly breeze. Seamus McHugh in SUI 1403 hit the shifts and stayed in the pressure to take Race 3 and move up in the standings.
Race four saw the breeze begin to fill just after the start. After very light winds in the first race of the day, the breeze built to a steady 13-15 knots with puffs a bit higher. Jim Cunningham's Lifted with a talent laden crew of Jeff Madrigali, Mark Ivey and Bryn Bachman began their climb to the top winning Race 4, finishing seventh in Race 5 and earning another bullet in the final race of the day to hold a five point edge over Glenn Burton on Firing Line sailing with Bruce Nelson and Jon Easley.
Madrigali and Ivey sipping the Mt. Gay Rum from the Cup - 2014 Etchells Nationals
After a long day (four races) on the water, sailors enjoyed smooth jazz, Mt. Gay Rum drinks and outside dining on another nice night in Coconut Grove. While the wind had been up and down and the forecast for Sunday suspect, more than a few sailors were overheard saying, 'This still beats shoveling snow.'
The prediction for the final day was one of the few forecasts which proved to be accurate. After a two-hour postponement on shore with no wind at all, the Race Committee pulled the plug and the day two results became final. Jim Cunningham used a very impressive two victory day to capture the 2014 Etchells U.S. National Championship and 2014 Coral Reef Cup. Keeping with tradition, teammate and former Etchells World Champion Jeff Madrigali filled the beautiful silver championship cup with ice cold Mount Gay Rum and shared it with fellow teammates Mark Ivey and Bryn Bachman.
Congratulations to Jim and his crew for a very well sailed regatta. Five other sailors, who had not previously qualified, made the list for the Etchells Worlds in Newport, RI in June.
Top Five Finishers – 2014 Etchells U.S. National Championship:
1) USA 1408 - Jim Cunningham, Jeff Madrigali, Mark Ivey, Bryn Bachman
2) USA 1398 - Glenn Burton, Bruce Nelson, Jon Easley
3) USA 1229 - Don Jesberg, Scott Mason, Ed Wright
4) USA 1198 - Scott Kaufman, Justin Law, Taylor Canfield, Steph Robce
5) USA 1225 - Steve Benjamin, Moose McClintock, Phil Trinter

My first visit of Hue, capital city and home of the Nguyen Dynasty, was in 1997. The route on Highway 1 from Da Nang to Hue was interesting and comfortable in our air-conditioned car. We traveled up the mountains and crossed the summit at Hai Van Pass, known by the Vietnamese as the "pass of the ocean clouds." To that point, we had often seen in the distance the vast Da Nang Bay.
Our guide pointed out Red Beach #2, the landing point for the first U.S. Marines in 1965. He claimed to have been there at the time and to have worked for the Americans. Therefore, he said he had witnessed the beginning of President Lyndon Johnson's escalation.
The summit and Hai Van Pass were defended by the Chams (the pass was then called the Annan Gate), Nguyen Dynasty Vietnamese, the French, the Japanese, and by American forces. In fact, I photographed several abandoned French pill boxes at the summit.
|Once we descended from the summit, we were in Lang Co valley and a fishing village by the same name.
I saw the railroad which also crosses the summit and then carries passengers on to Hue or Da Nang. This quiet village was the scene of bitter fighting during the Vietnam War and the bridge we crossed had been destroyed earlier by the French.
As we approached Hue, we passed Hue's present-day airport. It is far from the city because it is located on what was earlier the second largest U.S. Marine and Airborne base. We would later fly from Hue to Hanoi.
|Our hotel offered a view of the Perfume River [Huong River] and the bridge to the ancient Citadel on the other side of the river.
In 1993, the rebuilding of Hue got a boost from UNESCO's World Cultural Site designation, and in 1995 Hanoi granted Hue independent city status, placing it almost on a par with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Though I was in Hue only for a few days, I came to realize its historic importance and its potential value as a place for student exchanges. It could also serve as a base from which to visit the DMZ next time, as well as the site of the My Lai incident of 1968. French, Chinese, and Vietnamese influences were quickly apparent here, and there are five universities in Hue. There is also a tradition of popular Buddhism here.
Hue, as noted in this online course, was the home briefly of Ho Chi Minh as a student. Before then Hue figured in the French seizure of the capital in 1885, anti-Diem Buddhist protests in 1963, North Vietnamese Army's seizure of the city for 25 days in Tet 1968, liberation of Hue by South Vietnamese and American troops, and final liberation in 1975 by the Hanoi government. Hue was the first major city south of the DMZ to be liberated. Through it all, Hue has survived and been rebuilt, but the restoration work continues, as I witnessed especially in parts of the Citadel complex which were destroyed during the Tet Offensive.
Later on the day of our arrival in Hue, we entered the Imperial City through the once-called South Gate, opposite the Flag Tower across the road, but now called the Noon Gate (Ngo Mon Gate). Our guide began our tour with a thorough introductory lecture on the Nguyen Dynasty, emphasizing of all things the number of concubines and children of his favorite emperors who had lived within the Imperial City.
|Following the lecture, our tour of the Imperial City site began. The complex is surrounded by a moat, and near its entrance are lotus flowers growing in the water.
|There are actually three entrance doors, which are very large, the middle one lacquered red and reserved for the emperors. The others are for civil and military mandarins and others. The upper part of the Noon Gate structure is the Pavilion of Five Phoenixes, which is flanked by two wings of two stories each. This building is also known as the Five Phoenix Watchtower; its nine roofs appear to be five flying birds viewed from above.
It contains museum items today, but it was used previously for declaring Tet, the lunar New Year, and for announcing results of civil service exams. It is also the place in which Emperor Bao Dai abdicated in 1945, thus ending the Nguyen Dynasty.
Walking north, we passed through the Great Rites Court toward the Thai Hoa Palace (Throne Palace or Palace of Supreme Harmony), which begins in the center of the Imperial City.
This would have been the route of processions. Emperor Gia Long, who started the entire fortress-capital, built the Throne Palace in 1805, and it was first used for his coronation in 1806. Later improvements were made by Emperor Minh Mang and others. Today it is the most spectacular of the palaces, partly because it escaped damage from bombing and it received major restoration attention in 1991. Its 80 columns, iron and wood, with swirling dragons and clouds on each one, were restored and painted with twelve coats of lacquer. It was also used in the past to receive foreign diplomats and for royal birthday celebrations.
We walked over much of the complex, visiting three or four of the main structures. Among the other gates into the Imperial City, we saw the Hien Nhon Gate, the east Gate of Humanity, and the Emperor's Golden Throne in the Thai Hoa Royal Palace.
My Guide to Hue Citadel contains the same picture. Before leaving the main Imperial City area, our guide pointed to the area of the King's Mother's Residences, now in ruin.
Then our guide told us he would take us into an area few guides introduce to their clients. (Actually, we saw a few other tourists in the area.) We walked over a large area of ruins, some receiving attention and others left for now neglected.
|This area was one of the most damaged during the intensive 1968 fighting within the Imperial City itself.
|Several structures in this area, such as the Royal Theatre, are being restored. The Royal Reading Pavillion, built by Emperor Minh Mang, however, is still in ruin.
|This is a view of an unrestored outer wall of the Citadel with the flag tower, located on the Perfume River, in the distance.
Since restoration of one building was completed, we entered and found it to be a place of worship. This resulted in two photos within the Mieu Temple, built by Ming Mang in 1821 as a place in which to worship his father. It remains the place of gathering for Nguyens (to worship their ancestors), and altars for almost all of the emperors are within the temple. Where possible, each altar also has a picture of the emperor. All have funeral tablets for the emperor and wife or wives.
|Outside the Hien Lam Pavilion and in front of the Mieu Temple, we saw jackfruit growing on a tree.
Nearby were the Nine Dynastic Urns cast by Emperor Minh Mang in 1836. They are bronze, they are named for the nine emperors worshipped in the temple, and they differ in weight and the artwork carved on them. Some feature river scenes, others show animals, and another shows sea products. It is remarkable they have survived the wars and elements.
|Following the tour of the Imperial City and other parts of the Hue Citadel, we had lunch at a restaurant on the European side of the Perfume River. Then we cruised the Perfume River to visit Thien Mu Pagoda and several sites related to Nguyen emperors. The seven-level brick stupa or tower of Thien Mu Pagoda is the most striking feature of the "Pagoda of the Celestial Lady" and it stands on the site of an earlier Cham temple. Each level represents Buddha's seven incarnations on earth.
This is the oldest pagoda in Vietnam, founded in 1601. In the thirties and forties, this Buddhist pagoda was a center of anti-French sentiment, and in 1963 the Venerable Thich Quang Duc, one of its monks, burned himself to death in Saigon, having driven south in the blue car (an Austin) now displayed on this site. He was protesting the anti-Buddhist activities of the Diem government. This pagoda remains today a voice against repression and a sore spot for the government (according to the Rough Guide).
|On the site is the main temple or sanctuary, where we saw a monk whose picture we were invited to take. Apparently, he and our guide were friends.
We next boarded our boat for the remainder of our river cruise. The second site on our tour was Minh Mang's Mausoleum, built 1840-43 by 10,000 workmen. He was the second Nguyen emperor, very powerful and distrustful of Western religions. As previously noted his interest in architecture brought major new construction to the Imperial City as well as this large garden with its lakes and pavilions, all in Chinese tradition. Here we saw once more many of the frangipani trees, with their fragrant white blossoms which remain in perfect state for days after falling to the ground.
|Our final site on the river cruise was the Mausoleum of Tu Duc, built 1864-67 and regarded by Tu Duc a modest enough complex (he used it as his pleasure gardens before his death) that he included the word khiem (modest) in the name of every building.
However, it appeared to me to be far from modest. We reached this site at the end of the cruise, having landed and rejoined our driver who drove us over the narrowest road we had yet used. The Stele House or pavilion contains a massive 20-ton stele which displays the emperor's own eulogy of over 4000 characters.
It is supposedly so long because Tu Duc experienced many difficulties, including smallpox. The latter disease probably made him sterile, for he had no children although he had 104 wives and a village of concubines who lived in the complex. Tu Duc lived longer than all other Nguyen emperors and used the complex over a sixteen-year period -- coming here to fish in the lakes, to meditate, to drink tea, and to compose his poetry (about 4,000 poems) and several works of philosophy and history.
My photos show the Xung Khiem Pavilion (in which these activities occurred), the boating pavilion, and a tall tower or pillar which bears inscriptions relating the power of the emperor even though he was among the weakest, not preferring to challenge Western influences.
In addition, there are photos of the Khiem Cung Gate opposite the Stele House and leading to the major pavilion, the Hoa Khiem Temple (used before Tu Duc's death as a palace), the interior of the temple, and the Royal Audience Yard, which contains statues of mandarins and horses.
This was a very beautiful and interesting complex, and we were the last to leave before closing. All stalls for vendors had been vacated by the time we left, which helped impress upon me the potential of this site for study, creativity, and meditation.
Returning to Hue, we passed Quoc Hoc High School. It is located on the main riverfront street and appears to be a prosperous site today. It was originally founded (1896) as the National College, training princes and future administrators; the only language used until 1945 was French. In addition to Ho Chi Minh, the school's other famous revolutionaries included postwar Prime Minister Pham Van Dong, General Giap, and Party Secretary Le Duan. President Ngo Dinh Diem (of South Vietnam) was another famous student at this high school.

Wear yr trousers rolled w/impunityWhat a wonderful, luminous analysis and appreciation of 'Prufrock'! When I was an undergraduate two of my friends wrote themselves and their relationship as 'Prufrock' on the flyleaf of the Norton Anthology, which I took with me when we all dispersed because by that time they had, too. Since then I've had a soft spot for the language and the anguish in the poem, but your essay reminded me of the humor as well. Thank you!
Last week I asked about your favorite poems, and I really enjoyed the stream of responses which included, in the order in which they were posted: "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot, "High Flight" by John Gillespie Magee, Jr, "The Height of the Ridiculous" by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Matthew 6:25 - 34, "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" by Walt Whitman, "The City in Which I Love You" by Li-Young Lee, "Poem In October" by Dylan Thomas, "Constantly Risking Absurdity" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, "A Supermarket in California" by Allen Ginsberg, "l(a" by e.e. cummings, the entire "Leaves of Grass" by Walt Whitman, "Herbsttag" by Rainer Maria Rilke, "Death Fugue" by Paul Celan, "Cloud" by Vladimir Mayakovsky, "The Waste-Land" by T. S. Eliot, "What a Piece of Work is Man" (from "Hamlet") by William Shakespeare, Sonnet 130 by Shakespeare, "The Second Coming" by W. B. Yeats, "Kaddish" by Allen Ginsberg, "Power" by Gregory Corso, poems by Jane Kenyon, Anne Sexton, Christina Rossetti, Carl Sandburg, "Wild Swans at Coole" by Yeats, "The Drunken Boat" by Rimbaud, "Sonete Postrero" by Carlos Pellicer, "Sonnet" and "Masa" by Cesar Vallejo, "in Just-/spring" by e. e. cummings, "Howl" by Allen Ginsberg, "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, "When i consider how my light is spent" by John Milton, "The Purist" by Ogden Nash, "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost, Sonnet 116 by Shakespeare, "As The Mist Leaves No Scar" and "The Reason I Write" by Leonard Cohen, "So I said I am Ezra" by Archie Ammons, "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams and "Variations on a Theme by William Carlos Williams" by Kenneth Koch, "And Death Shall Have No Dominion" by Dylan Thomas, "In Society" by Allen Ginsberg, "Acquainted with the Night" by Robert Frost, "13 Ways of looking at a blackbird" and "The poem that took the place of a mountain" by Wallace Stevens, "The Death of the Ball Turret Gunner" by Randall Jarrell, "Fern Hill" by Dylan Thomas, "Mending Wall" by Robert Frost and "Love is a Dog from Hell" by Charles Bukowski.
The first one mentioned (by none other than my LitKicks co-editor Jamelah) happens to be my own favorite. T. S. Eliot began writing his poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" in 1910, when he was a 22 year old philosophy graduate student. Five years later it was published in Poetry Magazine, and it became his first famous work.
Nearly a hundred years later, it's still puzzling and fascinating us. On the surface it is an ugly little poem, a satire about a "hollow man" presumably from T. S. Eliot's own hometown of St. Louis, Missouri (to where the name "Prufrock" has been traced). The poetic style appears at first clumsy, intentionally malformed, and certainly unmusical. Except that, by the third reading or so, the music starts to creep up on you. And the naive phrases, the crude brushstrokes of an inelegant man, start to become elegant.
The poem is notable as a literary milestone in several ways. Like James Joyce's "Ulysses", which was published a few years later, it is an intense interior monologue, a modernist stream of consciousness. Eliot's narrator compares himself to a bug wriggling on a pin before Franz Kafka began to dream up "Metamporphosis". And, Eliot composed the poem as a cut-up, a cubist mental collage, half a century before William S. Burroughs began to make the "cut-up" style famous.
"Prufrock" is an incredibly innovative and important poem, but that's not why I want to write about it.
I want to write about T. S. Eliot's strange poem because it captures the insanity, intensity and sheer length, width and breadth of human feelings more than any other poem I have ever read. The author holds nothing back. We're inside the head of J. Alfred Prufrock, a thin, middle-aged man from a notable upper-class family. He seems to be a type we've all met, an ineffectual and frightened snob, who probably listened to everything Mother and Father said as a child and then failed to grow out of this as an adult.
He never married, and in his middle age is probably either a virgin or close to it. He haunts tea parties and dances, feeling ridiculous and alone, and dreaming of making love to the women in the room. This poem is his brain scan, as he wanders from room to room.
He wants to ask a woman to dance, or catch someone's eye. He knows he is eligible enough to interest a woman, but his inner thoughts and fears won't allow him to risk a moment of sexual vulnerability, despite his raging desires. His thoughts veer wildly from the warmly romantic to the coldly clinical, as in the opening lines:
Let us go then, you and I
when the evening is spread out against the sky
like a patient etherized upon a table
We hear this and we instantly know that Prufrock has problems. He may be mentally ill -- he hints to the reader of dark secrets, hallucinates that his city's polluted fog is actively oppressing him, and imagines himself beheaded like John the Baptist. But there is something in his language, in his odd turns of phrase, that endears him to us, and hints at a higher purpose.
Like P. G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster, Eliot's Prufrock is a supposedly dull character whose private language -- the words he uses to narrate his experiences to us -- reveal an entirely different dimension. Prufrock may be a lousy conversationalist, but he can sure sing to us:
And indeed there will be time
For the yellow smoke that slides along the street
Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;
There will be time, there will be time
To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet
There will be time to murder and create.
And time for all the works and days of hands
That lift and drop a question on your plate
A chaste prude, Prufrock imagines sex as a cataclysmic, orgasmic confrontation with the universe itself. This poem reminds us that, in some deep sense, to make love to another person is to make love with existence itself, to engage with the world, to touch outside yourself. This is what the poem is about. In line after line, Prufrock departs from the flesh and blood around him -- departs from the surface of the planet, it seems -- to soar into twisted, psychedelic, almost comically overblown realms of imagination.
should I, after tea and cakes and ices
have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas
Would it have been worthwhile
to have bitten off the matter with a smile
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
Some writers -- bad writers -- could depict entire orgies of wild sex and make us feel that none of it matters. In Eliot's poem, everything matters. To Prufrock, a reader imagines, a kiss on the cheek would feel like an earthquake. This is as it should be.
To have squeezed the universe into a ball
In the last verses, the party winds down and we can tell that Prufrock will not be getting lucky tonight, or any night soon. But he continues to torture himself, desperately trying to find a way to reconfigure his persona and find his lost confidence:
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I love this parting shot in the final section, not only because it's a hilariously innocent image, a good sexual innuendo, and the inspiration for an Allman Brothers album. I love it because T. S. Eliot had the nerve to write such a childish thought. To present such poetic inanity in the service of truth is no less than an act of courage.
I have a few more things I'd like to say about T. S. Eliot, and I have a feeling you'll be reading more articles from me about him in these pages. For today, I just want to pay tribute to the most honest, most memorable and most astounding poem I have ever read.

The Toronto Blue Jays only got a half of an inning's work from Jose Reyes on Monday, as the shortstop was pulled from the game following his first at-bat of the regular season.
The team later put the speedster on the 15-day disabled list and tweeted that an MRI revealed "mild inflammation."
Reyes, 30, was injured after running out a fly-out — robbed of a hit on a diving catch by Rays centre-fielder Desmond Jennings — and was replaced by second baseman Ryan Goins.
"I tried to run a little bit faster between home plate and first base, and I kind of feel my hammy there," Reyes said. "So I have to slow down and get out of the game because I don't want to get any worse."
He sat out several games during the final week of spring training with tightness in the same hamstring and wasn't 100 per cent for weekend exhibition games in Montreal against the New York Mets.
"Irritated the same spot, so that's a concern," Toronto manager John Gibbons said.
Reyes said the hamstring was "good enough" to play in Montreal and felt better Monday.
"When I tried for a little speed, something not right," Reyes said.
Last season, Reyes missed 66 games because of a severely sprained left ankle.
The Blue Jays have selected the contract of infielder Jonathan Diaz from triple-A Buffalo.
Diaz, 28, made his major league debut last June 29 against Toronto and appeared in five games for the Boston Red Sox.
The five-foot-nine, 155-pounder was drafted by Toronto in the 12th round of the 2006 amateur draft and has spent all but the 2013 campaign in the Blue Jays organization.

Roger first to arrive in Shanghai
07.11.2005 | Tennis
Things are heating up as the highlight of the year steadily approaches. Roger became the first player to arrive in Shanghai yesterday in advance of the season-ending Masters Cup.
The trip to Shanghai is the second in just one month for Roger, who had made a whirlwind stop here early last month to unveil the Qizhong Tennis Center in the city's Minhang District, where the tournament will be played to November 20.
Roger has arrived early in order to prepare thoroughly. He feels his shape is improving constantly but is still not certain whether he will be able to play. We'll most certainly keep you updated!

Hello Monday. Here's some new music for you, courtesy of Mean Creek, the Boston rock and roll band that is slowly and surely approaching critical mass. With the release of album number four, Local Losers, Mean Creek is revealed as one of the most confident and thrilling guitar-based bands working it today. Sure, the hallmarks of their influences are evident, with nods to some of the very best of '80s-'90s underground rock, but here those elements are subsumed to a pure and unique voice. At a mere 2:40 running time, you'll want to go ahead and roll this video for "Anxiety Girl" a couple two-three times.
In today's ADD, minute-to-minute music world, there are not many bands that can withstand the test of time. But Harrisburg, PA rock 'n rollers, The Jellybricks are just getting started. Making reliable and delicious power pop since 1996, the band is now celebrating their sixth release, Youngstown Tune-Up. The album brings out that old time rock 'n roll feel you love, with just a hint of indie edge, making for yet another stand out release in their catalog. You can grab a copy on iTunes, Amazon, or Google Play, and keep an eye out on streaming services like Spotify and Last.fm. For now, check out "About The Weekend," off the new album below. (more…)
2013 was definitely a year of reunions, and 2014 is shaping up to be pretty similar, with many a hiatus being ended. And when it's a band like The Decemberists coming back from a multi-year silence, it's welcome news. Reuniting in Portland, Oregon on May 30th for the V is for Victory benefit concert, the band hopes to raise money for the Victory Academy, a public school that caters to children with Autism. They'll perform Castaways and Cutouts in full, along with a few other tracks, and possibly even newer material. Check out the show poster with more details below, and grab tickets beginning March 7th at 12:00 p.m. PST here. (more…)
OurStage winners Twin Berlin's latest album may not have been produced by the iconic Travis Barker like their EP There Goes My Virtue was, but that doesn't keep these New England natives from rocking hard on their brand new debut full-length, Sleazebrain. Starting things off strong with "You're A Problem," these self-proclaimed grunge rockers mix the perfect amount of aggression and passion into their music to create that raw and unaffected punk vibe that I love so much, yet find so rarely. And while the band has been teasing fans with clips and teasers of tracks such as the aforementioned opener and "Buzzkill," I have to admit that my personal favorites lie in the deeper cuts, "Don't Talk To Me" and "Kill This Low." Still, the tracks they've chosen to lead with are strong, and are a pretty accurate snapshot of the album as a whole.
Grunge as a major influence is not easy to keep fresh two decades after its height, but Twin Berlin pull it off very well. The longer I let the album run the more I appreciated what a grower it is, and the more I wish I was able to immediately head out to one of their live shows. Because if this is the energy I'm getting from a recording, I can't even imagine what kind of vibe they give off live.
Catch up with Twin Berlin on their Facebook, and be sure to grab a copy of Sleazebrain when it drops Feb. 18. In the meantime, check out a few tracks below to hold you over.

Tim Kinsella, the Chicago-based musician who accidentally helped invent what we know as emo while cutting his teeth in bands like Cap'n Jazz and Joan of Arc, just released one of the more interesting collaborations he's done since the '90s. Tim Kinsella Sings The Songs Of Marvin Tate By LeRoy Bach Featuring Angel Olsen finds Kinsella and ex-Wilco member LeRoy Bach setting the poems of fellow Chicago native Marvin Tate to music. And fear not, emo kids, they're all pretty damn sad.
Kinsella and Bach aren't the first musicians to lend their talents to preexisting poems. In fact, we could have compiled a list featuring hundreds of singers who have quoted writers, but we tried to reel it in. For time's sake, you can check out four of our favorite music and poetry connections after the jump. And while you're at it, pick up a copy of TKSTSOMTBLBFAO. Its title may be a mouthful, but its tracks are beautifully short, simple, and sparse, perfectly complimenting Tate's stark and sometimes abrasive words.
1. Vladimir Nabokov and The Menzingers
Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov may be most famous for penning Lolita, but it's Pale Fire, his 1962 novel/999-line poem, that featured what is likely Nabokov's most well-known couplet:
I was the shadow of the waxwing slain
By the false azure in the window pane
Definitely the most beautiful thing that anyone has ever written about birds flying into windows. Anyway, Scranton, PA's The Menzingers quoted those lines almost verbatim during the bridge of "The Obituaries," and while the rest of the song's lyrical content has little to do with Pale Fire, the emotional impact of Nabokov's words aren't lessened at all. In fact, they compliment the track so well, it seems that the writer may have missed out on his calling as a punk lyricist.
Have you ever tried "Gangnam Style" while making "Love In An Elevator"? I wouldn't recommend it.
After remaining largely quiet in 2013, Korean pop star Psy has revealed that he recently completed work on a new single with Aerosmith frontman and rock icon Steven Tyler. Speaking with an Italian news publication, the YouTube sensation confessed, "When I was in middle school, I literally cried when Aerosmith were singing 'Crazy' or 'Amazing' or whatever. They were my lifetime role models, and now I am collaborating with Steven Tyler. What the fuck, man? [laughs] I love my life."
Psy was not just interviewed for the magazine, but was actually the first Korean pop star to be given a cover story. If you'll recall, his breakout single "Gangnam Style" was the first video in the history of YouTube to cross one billion plays.
There is currently no projected release date for the collaborative single, but given that Psy has been reportedly recording in Los Angeles for months it's likely something will surface sooner rather than later. You can view a tweet posted by Psy featuring a photo of himself and Tyler below. Follow OurStage on Twitter to stay updated as more information becomes available. (more…)
Ladies and gentlemen, the cover of the week has arrived.
Rise Records hot shots Palisades have released a cover of Macklemore's current chat-topping single, "Can't Hold Us."
"Thrift Shop" may be the song that put Macklemore on the map worldwide, but his follow-up single is the track that solidified his position as a pop superstar. Palisades' take on the track adds a heavy dose of chugs and screams, but the original's melody and spirit of fun are still prevalent. You can stream the cover below.
Palisades released their label debut earlier this year. Head over to Facebook to preview their original songs. (more…)
Indie pop-rock outfit (and OurStage members) HAIM have released the official music video for their latest single, "The Wire."
Adding a role-reversal twist to the typical relationship themed visual, HAIM spend "The Wire" breaking up with the men in their lives. By doing so, the girls of HAIM send their ex-partners spiraling into emotional turmoil, which makes for a hilarious accompaniment to the toe-tapping goodness of the single. You can view the video below.
HAIM's new album, Days Are Gone, hits stores September 30. Comment below and let us know your thoughts on "The Wire." (more…)

It is with great sadness and frustration that we write this letter. We five former Alaska Teachers of the Year opposee the December 2012 changes to the Alaska teacher performance review system. We believe this new policy will fail to improve student learning and instead bring harm to our children, their teachers and our schools.
The decision to base as much as 50 percent of teacher evaluations on test scores represents a major shift from the recommendations of the Alaska Teacher Quality Commission that met for two years prior to draft a new teacher performance policy. By unilaterally dismissing the committee's recommendation, the state has weakened support from professionals who are necessary to make any reform succeed.
We believe the recommendation to use student data to determine 20 percent of a teacher's evaluation is fair and appropriate. However, basing a teacher's evaluation on 50 percent student data is extreme and short-sighted, repeating the mistakes from 10 years of No Child Left Behind which used standardized test scores as a catalyst for educational reform with little progress in closing the achievement gap.
In a December 7, Anchorage Daily News article on Alaska's new teacher evaluation policy, Governor Parnell said, "I would like Alaska to lead in this, not bring up the rear." We too agree that Alaska should lead the way in educational reform, but resurrecting and magnifying the mistakes under a flawed NCLB paradigm is a poor policy to effect meaningful, lasting change.
If Alaska leaders were to look at the highest performing nations and provinces -- Finland, Singapore, Japan, China, Ontario, Canada -- as measured by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), they would realize that none of these countries have adopted the punitive evaluation system that Alaska has chosen. Attracting and retaining quality teachers into Alaska's classrooms is a complex problem with many moving parts. The state should investigate how these nations reward their teachers, promote creativity and innovation in the classroom, and create schools where teachers are intrinsically accountable to each other. We need to emulate success, not failure.
Alaska's new teacher performance system will create what have been called perverse incentives," by education expert Marc Tucker. Tucker wrote a piece for the National Center on Education and Economy entitled "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: An American Agenda for Education Reform." Alaska will further narrow its curriculum at the expense of the arts, music, history, and physical education -- the very subjects that help promote creativity and innovation. It will dramatically increase the amount of time students devote to test preparation, leaving less time for creative problem solving or the development of higher level thinking skills.
Furthermore, this policy is based on the assumption that individual teachers working alone are responsible for student performance, when most of us know that great schools are a result of many adults collaborating for the benefit of their students.
Alaska's finest teachers flourish when they are treated as professionals, and accorded the status and respect to work creatively with their students. We recommend the state pursue a more holistic teacher evaluation system, one that includes peer evaluations, the review of student artifacts and the teacher's contribution to the profession.
We also believe that this new evaluation policy will drive away some of Alaska's best teachers. Basing 50 percent of a teacher's evaluation on test scores that were never designed to evaluate teachers will increase stress in a system where already one-third of teachers leave the profession within three years, and one-half are gone within five years.
It is time for Alaska to promote success rather than failure. It is time to look toward the nations that are leading the way in education reform, rather than rehashing the failed policies of yesterday. Although the state's new teacher evaluation policy may be politically popular within certain factions, it is time for our state to transcend politics, and to develop a teacher evaluation system that promotes the best in our teachers and our children.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Iran's president says his country will not accept Western proposals to abandon its program to create nuclear fuel and take enriched uranium from outside sources.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran could not guarantee that other nations would keep promises to supply Iran's planned reactors. He also told a gathering of journalists Thursday that he does not believe the United States will launch a military attack over Iran's nuclear program.
Washington and allies fear Iran seeks nuclear weapons, but Tehran insists it only wants energy-producing reactors. Ahmadinejad is in New York for the U.N. General Assembly.

My dear Mr. Darwin1
I was much pleased to receive your note this morning. I have not yet begun work but hope to be soon busy. As I am being doctored a little I do not think I shall be able to accept your kind invitation at present but trust to be able to do so du<r>ing the summer.
I beg you to accept a wild honeycomb from the island of Timor, not quite perfect but the best I could get. It is of a small size but of characteristic form but & I think [[2]] will be interesting to you. I was quite unable to get the honey out of it, so fear you will find it somewhat in a mess but no doubt you will know how to clean it.
I have told Stevens to send it to you.
Hoping your health is now quite restored & with best wishes
I remain | My dear Mr Darwin | Yours very sincerely | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]
C. Darwin Esq.

Strategies for Raising Standards in the Arts
The Arts in Education Co-Ser is an invaluable service in the dissemination of educational resources available statewide as well as in and around this region. The Co-Ser is instrumental in helping teachers connect these resources and design and evaluate the ways these resources impact the classroom. The Art in Education program closely aligns the four NYS Learning Standards in the Arts by providing workshops and seminars for teachers bringing them up to date with current trends and research.
Presently the program offers diverse in-school visitations and productions addressing dance, theater, music and the visual arts. The Co-Ser is dedicated to raising the standards and levels of visual and aesthetic literacy through participatory programs with the New York Philharmonic and Carnegie Hall as well as local Arts Agencies, Alliances and residencies. The BOCES Art in Education Director is in direct contact with AIE Directors from around the State continuing to expand the communication and availability of offerings.
Participating districts may purchase tickets in advance for educational trips and performances outside their districts and receive state aid. While program offerings and residencies are a large part of the Co-Ser, teacher development through assessment training for upcoming NYS Arts Assessments from SED and the Portfolio Project are major components.
"Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts; the book of their deeds, the book of their words, and the book of their art. Not one of these books can be understood unless we read the two others, but of the three, the only trustworthy one is the book of their art."

Woodstock Ave. traffic reviewedMay 06,2014Woodstock Avenue
traffic is reviewed
Traffic issues on Woodstock Avenue were attributed to a broken signal light and the continuation of daytime work on the road Monday.
The Board of Highway Commissioners held a brief meeting it adjourned after about six minutes to get an update on the status of a trial with new lane configurations that began last week.
Mayor Christopher Louras said there were problems when Rutland High School let out Monday because a signal light on Stratton Road was broken again. He also said painting was continuing on the road, and that it needed to come to an end.
Unless we get a valid test with no obstruction, its going to be hard to say yea or nay, he said. They just need to stop. They need to get out of the road. They need to get out of the right of way during the day so we can assess whats going on with the road.
Public Works Superintendent Jeffrey Wennberg said he had been assured that the daytime work on the road had concluded Monday and he expected to have data on side street traffic in another week.
The commission will discuss the lanes again at its next regular meeting Monday, following the 3 p.m. Board of Finance meeting.MORE IN This Just In

Spurs fight back after winning approval for new training faciltity at second attempt
SS Design Group's original scheme for a £30 million facility on green-belt land at Bull's Cross was controversially rejected by Enfield Council's planning committee in September 2006.
At the time, the chair of the committee Martin Prescott admitted his fellow councillors had 'thrown out the rule book' by knocking back the development – which had approval from both the council's own officers and London Mayor Ken Livingstone - arguing the north London plot was an 'unsuitable site' for the training centre.
The football club subsequently lodged an appeal but, while the hearing was pending, bought the Whitewebbs Sports Club on the site.
New plans were drawn up to flatten, instead of retain, the old clubhouse meaning the proposed two-storey centre would become the only major building on the Greenfield plot. A revised application was submitted in August.
Covering 67 acres, the project will provide 11 outdoor pitches, a learning centre for Spur's youth academy, an indoor pitch and a media centre.
The approved plans will now be referred to the Mayor of London and the Government Office for London.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: 'This decision means that we are one step closer to building a state of the art facility which will enable us to attract, retain and train world class talent.
'The community package that will accompany this facility will additionally deliver great benefits for the people of Enfield.

The Gettysburg Address / Henry Horner Lincoln Collection
A rare copy of the greatest presidential speech is back on public display.
One of five known manuscript drafts of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address will be shown at the Library of Congress until May 4.
The draft, which begins with the immortal words "four score and seven years ago" and refers to "a new birth of freedom" in the latter years of the Civil War, once belonged to Lincoln aide John Hay.
From the Associated Press:
"It will be on display in the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building from March 22 to May 4 as part of the 'Civil War in America' exhibition.
"That exhibition, which commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Civil War, will be extended until Jan. 4.
"The Hay copy is believed to be the second draft of the speech. Lincoln gave it to Hay, one of his two secretaries."
