Shane Watson has called time on his Big Bash career with Sydney Thunder, ending his professional career in Australia to spend more time with his family.
Husband to Lee and father to William and Matilda, the evergreen Watson turns 38 in June.
He is currently featuring for reigning champions Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, and has scored 243 runs from 11 innings - including a last-start 96 against David Warner's Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Watson will, however, continue to play for Sutherland in NSW Premier Cricket, and may also play select overseas tournaments that don't clash with the the summer break.

Watson finishes his career as the Thunder's all-time leading run-scorer, having scored 1014 runs. He also brought up his one and only BBL century against former team Brisbane Heat at The Gabba last season.
The Thunder were cellar-dwellers until they broke through to win the title in 2016. Watson scored 235 runs and took nine wickets in that campaign.
Few cricketers boast a Twenty20 resume better than Watson. Only 14 players have featured in more matches than Watson's 310.
Only three Australian players (David Warner, Aaron Finch and Glenn Maxwell) have scored more runs in T20Is for Australia, and Watson is still Australia's most prolific wicket-taker in the international format.
The one-time Test captain is also the eighth-highest run-scorer in the shortest format's history. The only other Australian to have scored more runs in T20s is Warner.
Thanks for everything you've given the #ThunderNation, @ShaneRWatson33. We wish you and your family all the best for your next chapter 💚 https://t.co/rjytL49LOr
— Sydney Thunder (@ThunderBBL) April 26, 2019
Watson featured in 307 matches across all formats for Australia, and was involved in several key moments for his country.
Notably, Watson was a part of the 2013-14 Ashes whitewash, and was at the crease when Australia sealed its World Cup at the MCG in 2015.
He debuted for Australia in 2002 in a ODI against South Africa, and retired in 2016 still ranked as the world's top T20I all-rounder.
Watson is a three-time Australian ODI Player of the Year, three-time Australian Twenty20 Player of the Year, one-time Australian Test Player of the Year and, most notably, two-time Allan Border Medal winner.

"I want to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who has been involved with the Sydney Thunder over the last four seasons," Watson said.
"I have so many amazing memories that I will savour forever with the one standout being our win in 2016.
"I want to especially thank Nick Cummins, Paddy Upton, Lee Germon and Shane Bond who made my experience with the club so enjoyable.
"I will most definitely miss support that the club gets from the Thunder Nation. Their unwavering support through the ups and downs inspires everyone and I will cherish that support deeply.
"Finally, to my team mates, I have played with so many great people and cricketers at the club and I sincerely wish everyone the absolute best for the upcoming seasons."

Hike to one of the most beautiful lakes in all of Colorado -- and pass several waterfalls en route. For the adventurous, being able to swim in a stunning blue alpine lake makes for a great afternoon. During the summer the wildflower show is amazing!!
From the Ice Lakes trailhead begin hiking through a meadow that quickly enters the forest and begins to climb. The trail will climb ~1,600 feet in the next two miles. As the trail climbs there is a scenic waterfall just over .5 miles, it is worth it to scamper up for a closer look (at ~1.0 miles there you can get a nice vantage point from the top of the same falls). After the waterfall, the trail continues its steady-steep climb as it alternates between wildflower-filled meadows and forest.
After~2.3 miles the trail will begin to flatten as you enter lower ice lake basin. The basin has a wonderful wildflower display, a beautiful lake, and is a popular hiking and camping destination. However, you still have about a mile and just under 1,000 feet of elevation to go to reach the upper lake. As you walk through the basin you will see the final climb to the upper lake in front of you. A creek crossing and some steep switchbacks are now all that is left to upper basin.
As the trail begins to level out you will be entering an alpine wonderland!! The colors and shapes of the mountains, the color of the upper lake, and the wildflowers are all amazing on their own right. However, together they create one of the most beautiful and amazing destinations in all of Colorado. Be careful around the upper lake, as it is a fragile environment that needs to be treated with care.
This was a somewhat difficult trail but it has beautiful views the entire way. We immediately started laughing when we saw both lakes because they looked fake due to the water color. Unbelievable scenery. Highly recommend!
This is by far one of my favorite hikes in the southwest. Ice Lake and Island Lake range from a deep blue to a crystal turquoise. Have gone up here a few times and plan to return!


HARLAN, Ky. -- The cold might not bother Disney's Queen Elsa, but it's wreaking enough havoc in Kentucky that a police department announced a joke warrant for the popular "Frozen" character's arrest.
Police in the small, rural town of Harlan posted a Facebook message Wednesday about Elsa.
They wrote: "Suspect is a blonde female last seen wearing a long blue dress and is known to burst into song 'Let it Go!' As you can see by the weather she is very dangerous."
Police soon posted another message, telling residents that all kidding aside, they should take the weather seriously and be careful.
A massive system dropped more than a foot of snow in parts of Kentucky. Bitterly cold temperatures moved in Wednesday night and were likely to stay for several days.

Q: reference objects on the stack Does C# allow you to put reference objects on the stack? Why would you want to do that? What does this mean?

A: It's implementation-specific - it's up to the C# compiler to decide how to translate the source code into its target platform, and the C# spec doesn't guarantee how objects are allocated. Assuming an IL backend, it's then up to the execution engine to really decide how memory is allocated, within the bounds of the generated IL. (There are some clearer guarantees there, I believe, but I doubt that it prohibits future optimizations.)
The closest I know of anything like that is stack allocating arrays, which is only available in unsafe code, and I don't believe you can really get a normal reference to the array afterwards anyway.
As for why you'd want to do such a thing - presumably if you could guarantee that nothing but your current method was interested in an object, you'd like to make use of fast allocation and not bothering the GC...

A: No, reference objects can only live on the heap (i. e. allocated via new).
In C++ you might want an object on the stack to avoid allocation/deallocation/reference tracking hassles. Unless the object is to be used outside of the current function, there's no reason to have it on the heap. In C#, given its garbage-collected nature, lifetime tracking is not a concern.

A: Well the reference to your object is always on the stack. If you want the entire object to reside on the stack, you could define it as a struct instead of a class
As to why you would want to do that, if this is an object that used a lot, you might be able to increase performance by having the object reside in the stack instead of accessing the heap.

They left NJ to study — Now colleges trying to get them to come back
Erin Vogt
A group of New Jersey public colleges and universities has launched a new effort to get 120,000 residents who attend out-of state schools to reconsider in-state options amid the pandemic.
According to its "NJ Come Home" website, the NJ Scholar Corps program offers a streamlined application process, acceptance of credits earned with a grade of "C" or better, and a service element for students looking to help their home state recover from its first public health emergency.
More than 33,000 students leave New Jersey every year to study out of state.
The program is open to all New Jersey residents currently studying at an accredited four-year, out-of-state university or college who are interested in applying to any of these 10 participating institutions:
Ramapo College of New Jersey
Thomas Edison State University
William Paterson University
TCNJ President Kate Foster said this is an outreach based on what they've been hearing from families facing new financial challenges, as well as students uneasy about staying farther from home during the pandemic.
(NJ Scholar Corps via NJComeHome.org)
A cornerstone of the new program, as outlined on its website, will be "campus-based NJ Scholar Corps volunteer service activities to help rebuild New Jersey's communities."
"Each institution is committed to investing more energy into its volunteer efforts, working with community organizations like never before," according to a joint letter from the college and university presidents.
Specific volunteer opportunity details will depend on the timeline for re-opening our state, the letter also noted.

The Acceleration Bands trading system has been created by BidTrends and mainly invented by the founder of BigTrends Mr. Price Headley. It was basically created because many traders suffer from moving averages. Whenever a stock or a commodity breaks out they never retest major moving averages due to they are accelerating so furiously. So acceleration bands were created to highlight this acceleration. BigTrends has also created a trading system out of the acceleration band.
This is a daily chart of Nifty, so this is an acceleration band for 20-days. You can also add other indicators in this chart. Now, how to trade acceleration bands. We know that 95% of price actions will take place inside the acceleration bands. So, how to trade the remaining 5% of price actions? The remaining 5% of price actions are when the price really moves. Those are the strong trends. That 5 % of times you want to trade as the stock is moving really fast.
1) Two consecutive closes outside the acceleration bands.
2) Trade with a tight stop.
3) It has been watched that acceleration bands are specifically useful in trading options.
Today, when I am writing this post-Nifty, is trading +0.2% higher at 8734, and remember yesterday's budget day 2017 move on the upside. Was the upmove coincident? NO. Check the image above, Nifty BUY signal has been triggered on 25th January 2017 just a few days before the budget and zoom, Nifty has skyrocketed.
For Amibroker users I am giving a download link for Acceleration Band Amibroker AFL below. You can download the AFL and start acceleration bands trading with Amibroker too.

Richard Berger (* 8. Juli 1885 in Brünn, Österreich-Ungarn; † 10. November 1938 bei Kranebitten) war ein österreichischer Ingenieur und Opfer des Novemberpogroms 1938.

Leben
Richard Berger stammte aus Böhmen und ließ sich in Innsbruck nieder, wo er als ausgebildeter Brückenbauingenieur eine Stelle als Baurat, zuletzt als Oberbaurat bei der Bauabteilung der Bundesbahndirektion Innsbruck der Österreichischen Bundesbahn wahrnahm. Er, der dem jüdischen Glauben angehörte, heiratete 1915 Margarethe Weiss. Aus dieser Ehe gingen die beiden Söhne Walter und Fritz (Frederic) hervor.

Berger übernahm die Funktion des Präsidenten in der Zionistischen Ortsgruppe von Innsbruck und wurde nach dem Anschluss Österreichs am 23. Juni 1938 zum Vorstand der Israelitischen Kultusgemeinde für Tirol und Vorarlberg gewählt.

In der Pogromnacht drangen am 9. November 1938 Angehörige der 87. SS-Standarte Innsbruck in seine Innsbrucker Wohnung in der Anichstraße 13 ein, schleppten ihn in ein Auto, mit dem sie ihn nach Kranebitten brachten. Am Ufer des Inns wurde ihm der Schädel eingeschlagen und sein lebloser Körper anschließend in den Inn geworfen. Die Leiche Bergers wurde nach München gebracht und im dortigen Krematorium am 15. November 1938 eingeäschert.

Nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges sollten die drei Täter, SS-Studentensturmführer Gerhard Lausegger und die SS-Untersturmführer Robert Duy und Walter Hopfgartner, zur Rechenschaft gezogen werden. Zwei (Lausenegger und Duy) entzogen sich jedoch einem Urteil durch Flucht außer Landes, Hopfgartner wurde zu einer zehnjährigen Haftstrafe verurteilt, nach knapp fünf Jahren im Jahr 1954 im Zuge der Weihnachtsamnestie bedingt entlassen und machte danach Karriere in der SPÖ.

1997 wurde am Landhausplatz in Innsbruck das Pogromdenkmal errichtet, welches Richard Berger und den drei weiteren Innsbrucker Opfern der Novemberpogrome 1938 gewidmet ist.

Da ein Denkmal der Burschenschaft Suevia Innsbruck Lausegger als eines ihrer Mitglieder am Innsbrucker Westfriedhof ehrt, errichtete die Stadt Innsbruck im November 2015 eine Gedenk-Stele für Berger unweit des Suevia-Denkmals.

Ehrungen
 1937: Von Fürst Franz I. von Liechtenstein wurde ihm das Ritterkreuz verliehen.
 1983: Im Innsbrucker Stadtteil Gewerbegebiet Mühlau/Arzl wurde eine Straße nach ihm benannt.

2014/03/20 B3D Webinar: ISO Biomimetic Certification | BioInspired!
Taryn Mead (Marie Curie Early Career Researcher at the Business School of the University of Exeter) and Yael Helfman-Cohen (Biomimicry Israel, ISO member) will be hosting a webinar about the ISO Biomimetic Certification process on March 20th at 08:00 PDT, 09:00 MDT, 10:00 CDT, 11:00 EDT, 15:00 GMT, 16:00 CET and 17:00 IST. Registration at https://business-hangouts.com/register.php?m=NjM0Nnw4NDI0 is required.
Aside from the documents available on the website describing the purpose and sub-committees, there is very little information publicly available about what this certification will include or what will actually be certified (a process, a company, a product?) Given the other ISO certifications (e.g., 14001, 9000, etc.), I'm assuming that it will be a process, which raises some very interesting questions about who would get certified and why they would want certification. What is the value of such a certification and what does it mean to others in the field? As practitioners in the field, will it at all affect our ability to practice, specifically in consultation with multi-national corporations?
Taryn provided two files (attached) containing background material for the ISO Biomimetic Certification webinar tomorrow.
The links below take you to the YouTube clip. Clicking on the times will take you to the appropriate place in the clip. A PDF of the charts presented by Taryn and Yael is attached.
31:20 Nicole: Can we influence the ISO process if we join now? Taryn/Yael: We are halfway through the process (standard to be submitted in 1.5 years) and can recommend new working groups.
34:30 Nicole: Biomimicry and sustainability? Possible new working group?
45:07 Norbert: Does anyone have experience working with ISO and other standards organizations? Standards are not something we can ignore. Taryn: ISO has a tremendous amount of influence, first iteration is not going to be perfect, can influence standard down the road but depends on the level of specificity of the first iteration.
50:35 Taryn: Funding, approach entrepreneurs working in biomimicry/bioinspired design. Yael: Lots of interest in Europe from industry through Biokon.
51:24 Yael: A lot of effort has already been invested in the ISO initiative. Rather than starting a new standard, provide our expertise and insights. Norbert: if we are not part of the initiative, we will have trouble finding out what is going on.


Absent without Leave is an award-winning documentary by Malaysia-born, Taiwan-based filmmaker Lau Kek-Huat. It retraces the story of Lau's grandfather, a member of the Malaya Communist Party whose identity was hidden from his family. The documentary retraces through the form of a dialogue between Lau and the ghost of his grandfather, the fight against the Japanese invaders and the fight for independence against the British led by the MCP. Through the words of those who led the same battle as his grandfather, Lau puts together the pieces of this forgotten history to ask himself what it means to be a Malaysian today.
This story begins with a man's portrait hanging in my family home in Malaysia. The identity of this man has always been a taboo, until one day I discovered it was my grandfather, whose identity was hidden from me because he was a member of the Malaysian Communist Party. This is a journey to discover the secret history of my country through the eyes of my grandfather.


I've never seen the anime for it, only the manga. Is it alright?
Which one? Tokyo ESP? or Mirai Nikki?
She sang for both of them.
I didn't listen to any of these besides the Angel Beats opening.
so i can't really recommend anything.
tbh though, one of my favorite songs is the Yu Yu Hakusho opening.
and lots of 80s mecha openings.
I don't understand jack she is saying (other then SAILOR STARS) but I love the beat. Also, you can download this song at my website (check my signature). I would add more music tracks from Japan to the website but I seriously do not know Japanese (or even Chinese for that matter) so I really can't help you with J-Music adds. However, we do add people's request at the site though if the person requesting the song knows the name of it!

The digital camcorder is one of the most popular home products of all times. Camcorders have made shooting videos simple, quick and fun. You can make your home videos even more enjoyable by copying them to your PC, editing them, adding titles and removing those unwanted scenes. Video editing software like Video Edit Magic can help you edit your home movies to make your memories last forever. You can also convert the edited videos to an appropriate format and create a DVD or upload them to an Internet server and share your memories with family and friends.
However, many users face problems while connecting digital camcorders and cameras to their PCs. This article aims to guide you through the process of connecting a digital camcorder to your Windows PC.
A FireWire or USB Port on your PC.
Microsoft � DirectX version 9.0c or higher.
Appropriate connecting cables (usually bundled with the camcorder).
A FireWire Port (also known as IEEE 1394) allows users to connect digital video camcorders and other peripheral devices to their PCs, and transfer videos or other data at high speeds. Most digital camcorders also have a USB 2.0 connection and this USB connection can be used to capture the video as well as the photo snaps taken by the camcorder. Be sure your PC has a USB 2.0. While a USB 2.0 device can transfer data using a USB 1.1 connection, the transfer rate will be dramatically lower, and video capture may not be successful.
Most new PCs have a FireWire port or a USB 2.0 connection available. If your PC does not include these ports, you will need to purchase a FireWire expansion card. These cards can be bought at any computer store and are inexpensive.
DirectX is a Windows technology that enables higher performance in graphics and sound. For older operating systems, you should upgrade Direct X. This will ensure that the FireWire will function properly with your digital camcorder. You can download the latest version of DirectX from Microsoft's website.
There are are two types of FireWire connectors– 4 pin and 6 pin.
The FireWire port on the PC usually has 6 pins. Two pins are for providing power to FireWire devices like printers, scanners or external memory. A digital camcorder's FireWire port (usually called DV out or i.Link) usually has 4 pins as the camera does not need to power other devices. This means that in most cases you would need a FireWire connecting cable with 4 pins (for DV out of camcorder) on one end and 6 pins at the other end (for your PC).
Physically connecting your camcorder to your Windows PC using a FireWire port is easy. Plug the IEEE 1394 connecting cable into the PC and the camcorder. We recommend making the connection before turning on the camcorder. When you turn on the camcorder, it should be automatically detected by Windows.
Many camcorder users have faced problem connecting a camcorder to their PC. One of the most common problems is "nothing happens" after connecting the camcorder to the PC. The New Hardware Wizard does not run and Windows fails to detect the camcorder.
This can mean one of the two things: Either the DV port on the camcorder (or computer) is not working or the FireWire cable is faulty. Try a different FireWire cable. If the camera is still not detected by the PC, try connecting it to a different PC. If the Camcorder is still not detected, then your camera's DV port is most likely at fault.
You can use Video Edit Magic's capture tool to import all your video and audio files from a digital camcorder. The instructions for video and audio capture are here. After importing, you can edit these files using Video Edit Magic.
Now you are ready to learn about Video Editing. You can find additional information and articles on Video Editing on our Resources page.

ABC article – Why are women more prone to anxiety? Olivia Willis (2018)
November 5, 2018 November 5, 2018 Mark Taylor Psychology
In Australia, one in three women will experience anxiety.
Among men, the rate is one in five.
Anxiety disorder, according to Beyond Blue, is "when these anxious feelings don't go away — when they're ongoing and happen without any particular reason or cause".
In September, a national survey of 15,000 women found more than two-thirds of women "felt nervous, anxious or on edge" on several days or more in the last month.
Of the women surveyed, 46 per cent said they were diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression.
The findings echo a report published in June from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare that revealed anxiety disorders are the leading cause of ill health and death in girls and women aged five to 44.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), gender is a "critical determinant of mental health and mental illness".
The WHO says this is particularly true when it comes to rates of common mental disorders, such as anxiety and depression, of which "women predominate".
There are a few reasons gender (and sex) are thought to increase a woman's susceptibility and exposure to various mental health risks, says clinical psychologist Charlotte Keating.
"The common theory for the greater prevalence of anxiety in women is their fluctuating levels of sex hormones.
"[This] is because anxiety typically emerges for women at stages of life when these hormone levels are in flux. This can be puberty, but also during phases of the reproductive cycle."
"The hormones that govern reproduction are also really involved in the brain … and that connection is important for women to recognise," Professor Kulkarni says.
Gender-based violence, socioeconomic disadvantage, low income and income inequality, and "unremitting responsibility for the care of others" are all risk factors that disproportionately affect women, according to the WHO.
Olivia Remes, who studies anxiety and depression at the University of Cambridge, says low or subordinate social status also unduly affects women and their mental health.
According to the WHO, the high prevalence of sexual violence that women are exposed to — and the correspondingly high rate of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following such violence — means women are the largest single group of people affected by PTSD.
In Australia, one in five women has experienced sexual violence, and women are twice as likely to experience sexual harassment as men.
The high rates of anxiety among women can also be explained in part by the different coping strategies women and men use when faced with stressful situations, Ms Remes says.
"If women encounter stress and challenges in life, they're more likely to ruminate, which means to worry and to obsess about those problems," she says. "This can increase levels of anxiety."
Research, however, shows women are more likely to disclose mental health problems and seek psychological help. (This also explains why women are more represented in statistics.)
Men, conversely, are more likely to engage in risk-taking behaviour, and turn to drugs and alcoholto try to mask or block out symptoms.
Anxiety isn't a single mental health condition. There are multiple, distinct types of anxiety disorder, and many people experience symptoms of more than one and may experience depression as well.
Dr Keating says anxiety isn't caused by a single factor but a combination of things. "There is the likelihood that there is some biology involved, and some early life experiences," she says.
She adds that our "current environment" may also be influencing rates of anxiety, especially among women.
"There is a real impact on women of social media … things we are looking at every day that project the 'ideal way' we're meant to look — perfect bodies are the norm and that we should be aspiring to those," she says

Desultory Annotations for Gerald Durrell's "The Entrance" (1980)
Gerald Durrell's infamous Gothic horror story "The Entrance" is the final story in his collection The Picnic and Other Inimitable Stories (1980), which otherwise comprises a series of arch, Wodehousian, semi-autobiographical comedies, centering on absurd mishaps that beset Durrell's family outings and European travels. ("The Havoc of Havelock" is one of the funniest things I've ever read.) I got turned on to "The Entrance" after seeing a number of remarks about it on the Internet along the lines of, "Durrell, why would you do that to us?!" Obviously I couldn't pass up experiencing the tonal whiplash for myself.
Whiplash there was! Although, warned in advance, I couldn't help noting the morbid humor that crops up in his comedies, too—in particular, "The Michelin Man" is highly reminiscent of Roald Dahl's horror/comedy fiction for adults. ("Lamb to the Slaughter," anyone?) Durrell himself tries to give ample warning for "The Entrance": he cushions our arrival with a typically cozy frame story where he arrives at the cottage of a couple of bohemian friends in the south of France, complete with loving descriptions of the wine and truffles they consume. But then—amid an evening storm, the friends produce "a very curious manuscript" whose contents are promised to be "horrid." There we enter into "The Entrance."
I was delighted, disturbed, and baffled by the story: so here are my notes and attempts at analysis. Page numbers are from the 1980 Simon & Schuster edition. I welcome any contributions, corrections, and alternative interpretations.

"The Bear," by Beulah Amsterdam (2019) E
Date read: 1.20.2020
This story appears in the winter 2019 issue of Ploughshares.
In the dim forest cabin, a brown bear stared at me. He sniffed my suitcase. I froze.
The bear looked at me with his deep black eyes. We gazed at each other. No longer afraid of him, I felt a close connection. I watched as he explored the small, rustic room, pawing at the door mat and the bedside rug…
This opening scene is shortly revealed to be a dream, one which conducts the waking narrator to a reminiscence of a past boyfriend, a bearish Communist and fellow college student in 1950's New York.
I relish, with a kind of voyeuristic hunger, tales of student/bohemian New York life in the 50's-80's, and I love the unsettlingly lucid style of this short, regretful story. As those flat yet flowing sentences accumulate, their deadpan tone an imperfect restraint for the off-kilter emotional urgency beneath, it's impossible to escape a sense of the weight of the narrator's presence. I could hear her tranced voice in my head, feel unblinking eye contact. I wish I could spend more time with this strange, melancholy, pure narrator, but the story ends painfully soon, after briefly playing out a teasing contrast between different ideas of visions and the miraculous; which brings us back to the dream of the bear.
This story is such an incredible study in tone. I'd love to find more of Amsterdam's work.

"The Regimental History," by Andrea Barrett (2019) E
Read from: Personal collection
This story appears in the 2019 fall edition of Ploughshares.
Dear Maurice, this morning it is raining very hard and the wind is rattling our tent, so we can hardly hear each other. Thanks for the news about Albert's sister, which cheered him. I'm glad the girl helping Aurie is working out (hello to you, if you are reading this! your handwriting is good but you spelled "tonsillitis" wrong. Also, furlough is not spelled "ferlow.") Vic has been sick with chills and fever but the doctor claims he's doing better now – good thing, as we hear rumors that we'll be moving soon. Ezra, on picket duty last week, says the rebs across the Rappanannock are buzzing about and he thinks we may be marching upriver…
I've read a good bit of ruminating about the erasures of history (that is, the writing of history), its inescapably flawed and subjective processes, but nothing has made me feel that fact, that human accumulation of errors and losses and misapprehensions, like this lucent, lovely, mournful novella by Andrea Barrett. I've been meaning to read her much-awarded collection of historical fiction, Ship Fever, for years, but still haven't gotten around to it. This introduction to her work will goad me back to that goal.
Over three parts, Barrett lets us glimpse the lives of a set of Civil War characters who are connected by their desire to write the history of a disgraced Union regiment, in which two beloved brothers served. Izzy returns home disabled and traumatized; Vick disappears, presumed a deserter. Through glimpses of their stories, and of relatives and friends who circle around the voids of the brothers' lives, we witness not only the physical and emotional depredations of war, but the quieter attrition of simply the passage of time. Men who wanted to tell their war stories die ignominiously in peacetime; newspaper accounts distort facts and then are enshrined as true history by later republication. Letters are lost; transcribed accounts acquire unexplained annotations. Intentions to write, to share, to publish are pushed aside by the demands of daily life, deferred and deferred again. The present continually pulls us away from the past – and yet the past never disappears, it cannot be divided away, only diminished, obscured, distracted from.
All of this, Barrett depicts with graceful, transparent, quietly witty prose. She moves easily among snippets of letters and articles; the practical details of post-war life as, say, a biology teacher or a ceramist; and the characters' interior lives. Above all, the characters feel so present, so true, and so human. You'd like to be friends with many of them, except that they, too, have slipped away in all the decades between then and now.

"The Man in the Woods," by Shirley Jackson (2014) E
Read from: The New Yorker
I didn't realize that Shirley Jackson's children were still discovering unpublished stories of hers; the New Yorker has published two in recent years, "The Man in the Woods" and "Paranoia."
"The Man in the Woods" is a delightful choice for a stand-alone publication. Tense, elegant, and cryptic, its dense mythological and folkloric allusions beg for toying and unpicking – even if its determined evasiveness means that it is not sharply compelling as a work of psychological fiction. If it were presented in a collection, it would likely sink into the shadow of any of Jackson's more spectacularly psychological stories. But even taking it simply as a sort of playful, appreciative remix of a handful of dark folkloric tropes, it stands out as being pretty much perfect on a line-by-line level: economical, vivid, and singing with tension.
The cat had joined him shortly after he entered the forest, emerging from between the trees in a quick, shadowy movement that surprised Christopher at first and then, oddly, comforted him, and the cat had stayed beside him, moving closer to Christopher as the trees pressed insistently closer to them both, trotting along in the casual acceptance of human company that cats exhibit when they are frightened.
The two stories that immediately popped into my head when reading this: Angela Carter's "The Erl-King" (a previous, brief appreciation here) with its likewise claustrophobic trees and its building towards the inevitability of kingly sacrifice; and Hansel and Gretel. In fact, with regard to Hansel, I was sure at first that this was going to be "just" a witch-story, and that the two otherworldly women whom Christopher meets in the stone cottage in the woods would be joined by a third – Hecate. So it was a strange little thrill when the third in the house turned out rather to be a Mr. Oakes: a green-man, and a sacrificial priest-king straight out of Frazer's The Golden Bough.
Fans of Elizabeth Marie Pope's Tam Lin retelling, The Perilous Gard, will be well familiar with the reading of "Christopher" as "Christ-bearer" specifically in the context of pagan sacrifice. Her Christopher, like Jackson's, is a youth who offers up to pagan captors the temptation of a double sacrifice – an intermingling of two different sacred powers – through the symbolic weight of his name.
Though Jackson's protagonist Christopher offers this tantalizing symbolism ("'Christopher,' [Mr. Oakes] said softly, as though estimating the name"), he's otherwise strangely devoid of anything resembling narrative or, let's call it, a symbolic system. He carries the modernish signifier of having been at "college," and allows that that loosely qualifies him to be deemed a "scholar" by Mr. Oakes. But he doesn't know why he left college and started wandering, and he doesn't know what to name a cat other than "kitty." So far as personality is concerned, he is careful, courteous, and expresses glints of humor and curiosity, including a faint appetite for the younger woman, Phyllis. But it's all diffused through a screen of something like mild dissociation, or at least ennui. He seems like a refugee from the modern world, stripped of meaning and motivation.
His encounter with the household in the wood seems destined to force him into meaning, just as his unnamed cat attains the witchy title of "Grimalkin" by displacing the household's original cat. In the end, Christopher follows along with a sort of tranced acquiescence.
But even assuming that his challenge of Mr. Oakes will be successful, it's unclear whether this new (ancient) system of meaning will be any more compelling than whatever he left behind in his old life. Phyllis, Circe, and Oakes seem listless and weary. (Only Circe, appropriately, shows a trace of defiance: "Circe I was born and Circe I will have for my name till I die.") Oakes, despite his name, doesn't seem any more fond of the woods than Christopher is; he plants roses as a challenge to their oppressiveness. Civilization, it seems, erects various defenses against the void, but over time they all grow, as Hamlet put it, flat, weary, stale, and unprofitable. They become oppressions of their own.
Final note: they were totally eating the previous challengers –
"…Phyllis, sent to fetch a special utensil from an alcove in the corner of the kitchen, came back to report that it had been mislaid "since the last time" and could not be found…"
"…Aunt Cissy disappeared into the kitchen alcove again and came back carrying the trussed carcass of what seemed to Christopher to be a wild pig."

The Moonlit Road & others by Ambrose Bierce (1909-12) E
Book from: Personal collection, but Bierce's work is in the public domain & can be found online for free; see ambrosebierce.org, for example.
The Moonlit Road and Other Ghost & Horror Stories is a collection of twelve of Ambrose Bierce's stories (selected from 1909 and 1912 collections of his work), published by Dover.
Contents, with my favorites starred: The Eyes of the Panther*, The Moonlit Road, The Boarded Window, The Man and the Snake*, The Secret of Macarger's Gulch, The Middle Toe of the Right Foot*, A Psychological Shipwreck*, A Holy Terror*, John Bartine's Watch, Beyond the Wall, A Watcher by the Dead, Moxon's Master
Sampler o' themes: Ambiguity of state (dead/alive, woman/animal, natural/supernatural, real/imagined), close intimacy with the dead, fear overcoming men's rational defenses, the grief and shame of men who have failed to protect the women who loved them
These stories are very smart, very darkly witty, and often wonderfully atmospheric, but for my taste far too reliant on twist endings that can variously come off as silly, obvious, excessively neat, etc. In the worse stories, there's a tangible sense of self-satisfaction with his own wit – like Bierce is constantly waggling his eyebrows at you while you try to focus on reading.
The best have a deeper sense of elemental weirdness, a real conviction of darkness and not just a desire to titillate and dazzle. In this collection, "The Eyes of the Panther" and "The Man and the Snake" by far maximize this quality of weird darkness, "The Man and the Snake" especially so. While "The Eyes of the Panther" can be fitted into the context of "animal bride" fairy tales (as well as the fact that mountain lion screams sound unnervingly like those of a human woman), "The Man and the Snake" is wonderfully its own thing. It's deeply idiosyncratic, darkly funny ("A snake in the bedroom of a modern city dwelling of the better sort is, happily, not so common a phenomenon as to make explanation altogether unnecessary"), and simultaneously so vivid and so ambiguous that it's borderline surreal:
"The snake's malignant head was still thrust forth from the inner coil as before, the neck level. It had not moved, but its eyes were now electric sparks, radiating an infinity of luminous needles."
"A Psychological Shipwreck" is also quite compellingly weird; call it a psychic romantic tragedy. In most of these stories I was annoyed/bored by the extent to which Bierce's female characters serve as blank slates upon which men write their tragic obsessions; the stories, like "Shipwreck," where the women seem to emanate some supernatural force of their own are commensurately more interesting to me. Hence also my enjoyment of the darkly vital "The Eyes of the Panther."
Among the more traditional stories, I appreciated "The Middle Toe of the Right Foot" first of all for its hilarious and intriguing title, secondly for introducing me to the folkloric anecdote of Jim Bowie having fought and won a barefoot knife fight in a dark room, and ultimately simply as a grimly satisfying tale of revenge wrought by the occupants of a haunted house. The quick shifts of time and perspective that Bierce often uses felt particularly witty here, almost caper-esque, and there's also just some delightful haunted-house descriptions.
Finally, "A Holy Terror," while close to annoyingly twisty, has some fantastically flavorful writing about an abandoned western mining town, which was a much-appreciated complement to my recent reading of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian. I'll conclude with my favorite paragraph – peak Bierce:
It is necessary to explain that one of the adjuncts to Hurdy-Gurdy—one to which that metropolis became afterward itself an adjunct—was a cemetery. In the first week of the camp's existence this had been thoughtfully laid out by a committee of citizens. The day after had been signalized by a debate between two members of the committee, with reference to a more eligible site, and on the third day the necropolis was inaugurated by a double funeral. As the camp had waned the cemetery had waxed; and long before the ultimate inhabitant, victorious alike over the insidious malaria and the forthright revolver, had turned the tail of his pack-ass upon Injun Creek the outlying settlement had become a populous if not popular suburb. And now, when the town was fallen into the sere and yellow leaf of an unlovely senility, the graveyard—though somewhat marred by time and circumstance, and not altogether exempt from innovations in grammar and experiments in orthography, to say nothing of the devastating coyote—answered the humble needs of its denizens with reasonable completeness. It comprised a generous two acres of ground, which with commendable thrift but needless care had been selected for its mineral unworth, contained two or three skeleton trees (one of which had a stout lateral branch from which a weather-wasted rope still significantly dangled), half a hundred gravelly mounds, a score of rude headboards displaying the literary peculiarities above mentioned and a struggling colony of prickly pears. Altogether, God's Location, as with characteristic reverence it had been called, could justly boast of an indubitably superior quality of desolation. It was in the most thickly settled part of this interesting demesne that Mr. Jefferson Doman staked off his claim. If in the prosecution of his design he should deem it expedient to remove any of the dead they would have the right to be suitably reinterred.

Seven Gothic Tales, by Isak Dinesen (1935) E
Date read: 11.25.2018
On a rainy night in the winter of 1874, on an avenue in Paris, a drunken young girl came up and spoke to me. I was then, as you will understand, quite a young man. I was very upset and unhappy, and was sitting bareheaded in the rain on a seat along the avenue becaues I had just parted from a lady whom, as we said then, I did adore, and who had within this last hour tried to posion me.
This, though it has nothing to do with what I was going to tell you, was in itself a curious story…
from "The Old Chevalier"
I'm so, so very glad that I finally read this, almost 10 years after picking it up in a used bookstore. Dinesen's gothic tales are very elegant and very strange, in a way that's difficult to communicate. But their strangeness has to do, I think, with their extreme subtlety (if such a thing can exist), the way that the narrator always seems to be smiling very gently as she delicately manipulates the pieces of the story into a more pleasing – yet curious – configuration. The surprises are frequent and witty yet so quiet that I often ended up laughing not so much at the surprise itself, as at the fact that it almost flowed by me unremarked.
Many of her stories do have a puzzle-box construction, where the pieces gradually become available, and a "solution" is eventually possible, revealing a full picture, a completed tableau. (References to marionette theater are frequent, and the clearest moral and artistic ethic that Dinesen offers is an ideal of humanity as actors arranged through the action of the divine.) Such solutions, if directly addressed by the characters, tend to be declared only in a handful of half-obscured phrases, which leaves one with a sense of a kind of twilight elegance and, again strangeness – frail, fey silhouettes glimpsed from a distance against a sunset sky.
Dinesen loves liminally gendered characters (and so I love her!): cross-dressing women, gay or bisexual men, women of all ages who are obsessed with defending their virginity – but especially old maids, whom Dinesen writes frequently and with fascinating psychological sharpness. They project their unrealized hopes or distorted convictions onto the young around them with such ferocity that they cannot be merely tragic figures.

Reviews of Best Ghost Stories of J. S. LeFanu, pt. I: Green Tea, Squire Toby's Will, The White Cat of Drumgunniol
Many of J. S. LeFanu's human ghosts share a moral type – grasping, corrupt old men of power – and a countenance: "sensual, malignant, and unwholesome" in "Ghost Stories of the Tiled House," "[wearing] a smile so sensual, so unspeakably dreadful that my senses were nearly overpowered" in "An Account of Some Strange Disturbances on Aungier Street." Both of these are brief, emininently rereadable traditional haunted-house stories, more reliably delivering a pleasurable chill (in my opinion) than many of his weirder, more wandering tales of guilt and spirits. (The second section of "Tiled House" has also been published or anthologized as "The Ghost of a Hand," notably in Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories.)
"Mr. Justice Harbottle" is another of that spirit-type: "an elder man, stout, and blotched with scurvy, and whose features, fixed as a corpse's, were stamped with dreadful force with a character of sensuality and villainy." His story is a Jacobite-era ghost story; I've tended to enjoy that setting ever since reading Peter Beagle's Tamsin; and M. R. James of course has several Jacobite tales. But I confess to finding most of "Harbottle" slow and predictably moralizing – except for the spectacular nightmare-journey midway through, featuring a "gigantic gallows" with capering hangman, a hell-court, and other demonic delights. I want to say that the story reminded me a bit of Washington Irving thanks to its combination of delirious horror and dark satire, but I'm still not quite sure that Irving is the comparison I really have in mind…
The prominence of evil judges did make me wonder about the impact of LeFanu's courtroom experience on his moral landscape – but a quick Wiki search reminded me that while he studied law at Trinity College, he never actually practiced. Perhaps LeFanu encountered Harbottle's original during his work as a journalist, instead? It's hard not to indulge in this kind of biographical speculation when the type recurs with such exactness.
"An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House," as its name suggests, is another traditional haunted-house story. Nothing spectacular, but very satisfactorily eerie:
"This figure was seen always in the act of retreating, its back turned, generally getting round the corner of the passage into the area, in a stealthy and hurried way, and, when closely followed, imperfectly seen again entering one of the coal-vaults, and when pursued into it, nowhere to be found."
And there's also something pleasantly eerie, just unresolved-enough, about the way LeFanu's narrator ends the story with a bit of speculation about who the specters are and what they might be about. I think it's the only one of LeFanu's stories where I liked how he enacted his tendency to over-explanation.
On the subject of less-gripping guilt 'n' spirits: "The Familiar" I thought overlong and repetitive. It shares the narrative device used in "Green Tea" of increasingly close confrontations with a persistent specter, but feels punishingly plodding at over 30 pages. As suggested above, I was also very disappointed by the way LeFanu diffuses its main mystery – why an upright naval officer should be haunted by a menacing figure – with a blatant explanation at the end. The title was intriguing to me, though: LeFanu diverges from the more, well, familiar sense of a witch's companion spirit, and uses "familiar" in a sense a bit closer to a doppelganger. This, together with the prominence of seamen, gave the story a slight Poe-ish aura to me.
Finally, "The Dead Sexton" I enjoyed well enough while reading, but had trouble recalling afterwards. Set in LeFanu's fictional, idyllic-yet-haunted town of Golden Friars, Northumbria, it's all a bit cute about the earnest, bustly village types, and the petty villainy of the title character. The dark visitation who leads to the story's final climax is charismatically drawn, but as with "Harbottle," the narrative's predictable morality undercuts the impact of its spookier bits.

"The Hill and the Hole," by Fritz Leiber (1942) E
Read from: Reproduction posted by The Sanguine Wood; also available here on unz.org
Tom Digby swabbed his face against the rolled-up sleeve of his drill shirt, and good-naturedly damned the whole practice of measuring altitudes by barometric instruments…
This Leiber tale has a rock-solid Weird premise: a geological surveyor's instruments tell him that the hill he is looking at is, in fact, a hole. Well, which is it? The premise taps into the same what's in there unease as fairy mounds, without directly drawing on that body of folklore, and adds a Lovecraftish space/geometry-warping flavor.
Execution is just okay – the prose and pacing have a slightly thick, ungainly feeling, as if Leiber is laboring to maneuver the expected narrative accoutrements into position – the creepy blue-eyed little girl to provide cryptic warnings, the surveyor's internal protestations in favor of rationality: "If there was anything he detested, it was admitting the possibility of supernatural agencies, even in jest." We all know how that will go. (Also, how ridiculous is it that the surveyor is named Digby?)
But this is the sort of thing that – like urban legends – lives on in the imagination regardless of execution, helped along by Leiber's evocation of suffocating summer heat and dust. Yum.

Best Ghost Stories of J. S. LeFanu (1861-1923) E
Date read: Vars. in November and December 2017
The Dover collection of Best Ghost Stories of J. S. LeFanu (originally issued in 1964, with a rapturous introduction by an E. F. Bleiler, "an editor, bibliographer, and scholar of science fiction, detective fiction, and fantasy literature" according to Wiki) contains the following stories:
Squire Toby's Will, Schalken the Painter, Madam Crowl's Ghost, The Haunted Baronet, Green Tea, The Familiar, Mr. Justice Harbottle, Carmilla, The Fortunes of Sir Robert Ardagh, An Account of Some Strange Disturbances on Aungier Street, The Dead Sexton, Ghost Stories of the Tiled House, An Authentic Narrative of a Haunted House, Sir Dominick's Bargain, Ultor de Lacey
…of which I've currently read all but "The Dead Sexton," "Sir Dominick," and "Ultor de Lacy" (which is what I'd like to name an S&M lingerie shop). (Note that LeFanu's work is available online for free, being in the public domain.) Presently I'm in the middle of re-reading "Carmilla," one of the only two stories I'd read before.Thoughts on some of the rest…
I was a bit disappointed and perplexed by "Green Tea," having heard that it was LeFanu's most renowned story after "Carmilla," and having been intrigued for quite some time by the seductively mysterious title. The central specter (which is not tea) is devilishly uncomfortable, and there's a powerful sense of dark magnetism dictating the specter's encounters with the narrator. (M. R. James' unstoppable horrors later echo the same narrative rhythm.)
But I feel the story's integrity is spoiled by the preening narration of Dr. Hesselius, LeFanu's proto-Van-Helsing, who prides himself on his ability to counteract supernatural influences through rational medical practice. His flippant, self-congratulatory closing pontifications pretty well ruined the story for me, even if his final sentence is tasty:
"Thus we find strange bed-fellows, and the mortal and immortal prematurely make acquaintance."
Talking-head Hesselius makes this story the most explicit enumeration of LeFanu's supernatural principle, which would go on to inspire Lovecraft – that we are at all times surrounded by terrible sights and malign beings, but only certain states of physiological or psychological disturbance make us vulnerable to influences. This principle shows up explicitly in almost all of the stories claimed to have been drawn from Hesselius' files, and I think one or two others as well. Personally I find it notable as a literary feature, but not interesting; it's discussed too fussily to evoke a sense of dread.
"Squire Toby's Will" suffers from what I think is LeFanu's most frequent narrative weakness: poor pacing. The opening scenes feel leaden and ungainly, and the feuding between the rival brothers at the plot's center reads as failed comedy. But the story does draw atmospheric power (1.21 English Gothic gigawatts!) from its rainy, moldering setting and crabbed, ill-tempered characters. And as in "Green Tea," the central specter is memorably uncomfortable:
The head of the brute looked so large, its body long and thin, and its joints so ungainly and dislocated, that the Squire, with old Cooper beside him, looked on with a feeling of disgust and astonishment, which, in a moment or two more, brought the Squire's stick down upon him with a couple of heavy thumps. The beast awakened from his ecstasy, sprang to the head of the grave, and there on a sudden, thick and bandy as before, confronted the Squire, who stood at its foot, with a terrible grin, and eyes with the peculiar green of canine fury.
Sticking with the theme of "critters," "The White Cat of Drumgunniol" is a cross between a fairy tale and a vengeful-ghost story:
"There is a famous story of a white cat, with which we all become acquainted in the nursery. I am going to tell a story of a white cat very different from the amiable and enchanted princess who took that disguise for a season."
The story opens with a lakeside scene witnessed by the narrator by a boy, and which I think is goddamn amazing – tense, eerie, calm, unbearably strange. (It reminds me of the climactic vision in I Am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House.)
The story decrescendoes from there, sustaining some of the tension and the chilly sense of otherworldly hostility, but terminating wistfully and weakly. The ending suits when the narrative is taken as the verbal account it's purported to be, but, for a literary story, is disappointingly stingless.

Thanks to Kakaner for reminding me that I had a serviceable, if brief, draft of a Machen review lying around –
(I find this cover so upsetting)
Collection contents, with favorites in bold:
The Great God Pan, The White People, The Inmost Light, The Shining Pyramid, The Great Return, The Novel of the Black Seal, The Novel of the White Powder, The Bowmen, The Happy Children, The Bright Boy, Out of the Earth, N, Children of the Pool, The Terror
I find Machen simultaneously infuriating, and delightful and unforgettable. The first because his stories are so goddamn long, pedantic, and fussy – even for my easily delighted-by-Britishness tastes – and his prose, though cultivated, is basically conventional and uninteresting to me on the sentence level. Lots of things are described as "emerald," for example.
Where he wins me over is
1) that same lengthiness… which sneakily builds and builds atmosphere and suspense, even while I was superficially chafing at his repetition and persnicketing, so that afterwards I was left quite a bit more uncomfortable and spooked than I had realized –
and 2) the ideas. Machen is famous for being a mystic, and I was rather dazzled watching him elaborate, in a dozen different configurations, the same basis of horror.
Machen's is an ontological horror, where evil, sin, and wrongness arise from violation of categories and hierarchies: human and animal, human and proto-human, human and supernatural. The essential pagan in me is somewhat baffled by his strict definition of the primitive supernatural (Pan, fairies) as evil, baleful and actively malign (in contrast with Lovecraft's other beings, which are rather colossally indifferent to humanity). This point remains emotionally and conceptually obtuse to me, but I find dreadfully fun his execution thereof. I'm particularly entertained by just how graphic and pulpy he gets at times, which seems at odds with his stodgy scholarliness.
More beautiful and transfixing, though, are the stories where the details of death are more obscure and metaphysical. "The White People" stands out in this respect, in addition to being of a narrative type that I love – cryptic young women's diaries, which document a slow seduction or transformation into the magical. (See also Robert Aickman's self-evidently titled "Pages from a Young Girl's Journal.")
The psychogeographic stuff is fun too, but I'll have to leave it to a future reread to write about that. Also, so much Wales!

Our doors are open and we invite you to come in to share the faith and fellowship. We want you to know the life and love of being a part of the family of God with us.
Our worship services are filled with dynamic messages from God's word, mixed with good gospel hymns. We are a church "on the grow" trying to be "in the know" about the saving, loving power of Jesus, Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
Whether you are a seeker, a committed follower seeking a place of meaningful service, an out-of-towner on a visit to Midland, or just someone needing to refresh your faith and service ... we invite YOU ... Come to see us! Join us! Praise Him with us!
The Sanctuary is "home" to so many of us! It's a comfortable, warm, friendly place to gather and enjoy God's Church.
Last year we made some major repairs and updates to the roof structure. Join us this Sunday for worship, fellowship and rich blessings as we proclaim and praise the name of Christ.
We appreciate your interest and want to let you know that contributions are welcome through the website.

You may click on the 'DONATE' button in the header to be taken to the contributions page where you can donate with credit or debit card.
We thank you for your consideration and assure you that wee seek to use every penny to the honor and service for Christ.
Why should we have revivals, anyhow? Our modern-day churches have so many activities and cover the subject of faith so completely and from so many angles, we certainly shouldn't have a need for the "old fashioned" exercise of revival services or "protracted meetings," as they were once called. Here is a message from Billy Sunday, revivalist/evangelist of a hundred years ago. Saved under the preaching of Harry Monroe of the Pacific Garden Mission in Chacago, he went on from professional baseball to become a tireless, outspoken evangelist from 1893 to 1935.

With Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s Daytona 500 win, everything is right in the NASCAR world — at least for one day
By Jerry BonkowskiFeb 24, 2014, 2:23 AM EST
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – There's no question NASCAR has faced its share of challenges in recent years.
From falling attendance to slumping TV ratings, and then NASCAR officials trying several ways to right the ship – from new-style cars to the recently announced changes in this season's Chase for the Sprint Cup – things have been tried, some with success, others not and others to be determined.
But for one night, Sunday night at Daytona International Speedway, everything was right in the NASCAR world because its most popular driver, Dale Earnhardt Jr., just won the Daytona 500, the sport's biggest race, it's Super Bowl.
Four years ago, NASCAR chairman Brian France took an unprecedented step by publicly stating that if it was to thrive again, the sport needed Earnhardt to win races and championships.
It wasn't a request, it was a plea. If all was right in Junior's world – and that indeed means winning races and contending for championships — everything would likely be right in NASCAR's world. France isn't stupid: as Junior goes, NASCAR goes.
So now that Earnhardt has won his second Daytona 500 – 10 years apart, mind you – could this be not only Earnhardt's comeback year of sorts, his year to finally win the championship so many have predicted, hoped for and prayed for over the last 15 years, and ultimately be the year NASCAR makes its long awaited comeback?
It sure seems that they're all intertwined, doesn't it? When Junior was going good and strong during his years at Dale Earnhardt Inc. from 2000 through 2007, NASCAR was at the height of its popularity.
But when the economy started going south near the end of 2007 and into 2008, it was also the time that Earnhardt made the split from the company his father founded, Dale Earnhardt Inc., and joined Hendrick Motorsports.
Of course, the economy going south and Junior moving on were coincidental, but there is definitely a symbolism and synergy that some NASCAR fans can't be blamed if they feel those events truly were tied together in some strange fashion.
And now that we're here in 2014, the economy is improving, unemployment is dropping, and Dale Earnhardt Jr. finally not only won a race after a 55-race dry spell, he did it in the most dramatic and big fashion, capturing the biggest race of the year – and potentially the biggest race of his career.
Not only is it just one race into the 2014 season and Junior has already clinched a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup – 26 races from now – but this could very well be the year that he truly does win that elusive first Cup championship and NASCAR makes the big comeback its officials and fans have hoped for.
Earnhardt won Sunday with arguably the best car in the field, but like a delicious stew, there was so much more that went into it.
There's the fact crew chief Steve Letarte was atop the pit box for his last Daytona 500. Junior would like nothing more than to send Letarte out a winner before the latter joins NBC as a TV analyst in 2015. He started with Sunday's win; he hopes to finish his gift to Letarte with the Sprint Cup championship at season's end.
"If you're going to win one, this is the one you want to win," Letarte said. "(Earnhardt) knew how much I wanted to win this one.
"I'm a little said this is going to be my last 500. … Everyone has a bucket list and you don't work in racing and not have the Daytona 500 on your bucket list. It seems awkward or surreal, but my career defining moment came in my last shot at it."
There's the fact Junior will be 40 years old later this year, a kind of unofficial demarcation line that if he doesn't win a championship by then, the opportunities he'll have left after he turns the big four-oh will quickly become fewer and fewer with each passing year.
"It's not a weight when you're able to deliver. It's a weight when you're not able to deliver," Earnhardt said. "When you're running fifth or 10th every week, it's very challenging because you want to deliver and you're not delivering. This brings me a lot of joy. … I don't know I've realized how big a deal it is, but I know I have a lot of fans that are real happy about what we did tonight and can't wait to go hang around the water cooler and brag to their buddies tomorrow."
There's the fact that Junior had finished runner-up in three of the four previous Daytona 500s. As Brad Keselowski said after the race, no other driver likely was more due to win Sunday than Junior.
"Winning is all that matters when it comes to Daytona," Earnhardt said. "They won't remember you for running second. I'm grateful to have won it twice now; I was grateful to win it once. In six months, I'll probably be as urgent to win it as I was with the first."
There's also the likelihood that the once-massive Junior nation has dropped in size, fervor and hope over the last several years. With each passing season that Junior didn't win a championship and was once again an also ran, many of his fans lost interest or belief in him.
Seeing his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, Jimmie Johnson, win six championships in eight years didn't help matters for Junior. Those were seasons that were in the prime of his racing career, and yet he came away with nothing but a pat on the back and everyone telling him, "Don't worry, we'll get it next year."
After so much frustration, close calls and shortcomings, it couldn't help but work on Earnhardt's belief in himself.
But perhaps when he was at his lowest when it came to thinking he could win more races and championships, team owner Rick Hendrick linked Earnhardt with Letarte, and the best driver-crew chief combo that Junior had since Tony Eury Sr. early on in his DEI days began.
Letarte found a way to get inside Earnhardt, to make him believe in himself, to make him believe in his team, to make him believe he could be a winner – even if Junior had only won just one race prior to Sunday with Letarte on the pit box.
All that is a distant memory now.
"When I crossed the finish line, I was relieved I had done it and I did it with the people I was with," Earnahrdt said. "It's like I was back."
Where does Earnhardt go from here? Will the third time be the charm? By that I mean, when he broke his nearly two-year winless streak in 2008 at Michigan, Earnhardt predicted he'd go on a tear and start winning lots of races.
He did the exact opposite, going more than 130 races before finally reaching victory lane again – at Michigan, no less – in 2012.
Now it's the third time, not a time to strike out but to rather hit a home run.
Will this time be different? Will Junior be able to take his Daytona win and build upon it with several more wins in the next 35 races this season?
Will he finally bookend his season-opening win with a season-ending championship?
All that remains to be seen. But on a day that started at 1 p.m. ET, included a six hour, 22 minute rain delay and ended nearly 11 hours later, in a town that some are already starting to call Dale-tona, everything for at least one day truly was aligned, balanced and right in the NASCAR world.
No less an expert than Jeff Gordon admitted as much.
"Congrats to Junior, the world is right, Dale Jr. just won the Daytona 500. That's a sign the 2014 season is going to be a good one," said Gordon, who finished third in Sunday's race.
And if Junior has anything to do with it like the way he did in winning Sunday, NASCAR as a whole will be as much of a beneficiary as he will be.
"I'm pumped up, man," Earnhardt said. "Trust me, we are going to have a blast this year."
It's certainly started out that way.
