MY NOBLE LORD, THAT I may present my excuse why, being a stranger to your lordship, I offer this poem to your patronage, I plead this warrant: men who never saw the sea, yet desire to behold that regiment of waters, choose some eminent river to guide them thither, and make that, as it were, their conduct or postilion: by the like ingenious means has your fame arrived at my knowledge, receiving it from some of worth, who both in contemplation and practice http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/%7Erbear/webster1.html (2 of 121)4/11/2005 6:23:14 AM The Duchess of Malfi owe to your honour their clearest service.

Peter Mettler
The End of Time A film by Peter Mettler 114 min, English, Digital (DCP, Blu-ray), Canada, 2012, DoCumentary FIRST RUN FEATURES The Film Center Building 630 Ninth Ave. #1213 New York, NY 10036 (212) 243-0600 / Fax (212) 989-7649 Website: www.firstrunfeatures.com Email: [email protected] www.firstrunfeatures.Com/endoftime Synopsis "Recalling the work of Terrence Malick, Werner Herzog and the late Chris Marker" (Hollywood Reporter), Peter Mettler’s enthralling new film combines elements of documentary, essay, and experimental cinema to create a tour de force that challenges our conception of time — and perhaps the very fabric of our existence. With stunning cinematography and a knack for capturing astonishing moments, The End of Time travels the planet — from the CERN particle accelerator outside Geneva to the lava flows of Hawaii; from a disintegrating Detroit where Henry Ford Built his first factory to the tree where Buddha was enlightened. Both mind-expanding and eerily familiar, Mettler's provocative film explores the links between renewal and destruction, between primordial mysticism and the furthest reaches of modern science, giving the viewer a transcendent cinematic experience. Praise for The End of Time "Recalling the work of Terrence Malick, Werner Herzog and the late Chris Marker...THE END OF TIME Becomes immersive and hypnotic...a ravishingly Beautiful experience." – Stephen Dalton, The Hollywood Reporter "A work of vision...A gloBe-trotting cine-essay about time...poetic and lovely." – Adam Nayman, POV "Mettler's trippy -

ARSCE’s By John Masterjohn Summer Luncheon Well we made it back from Puerto Vallarta after 17 warm, sunny days with soft breezes. I’m sorry; I heard you all suffered through Wednesday, June 7th endless rain and cold temperatures. Karen always argues that there Reservation form on page 12. can be dry, sunny days in January and February, nice sunrises and sunsets, and then winter comes back in March—making it the best time to get away. She thinks she won the argument. However, it’s always nice to actually see spring with green shoots in Seattle, even with gray skies. Okay, enough about us; now on to ARSCE issues. The seat on the SCERS (Seattle City Employees’ Retirement System) Board for the retired member opened for filing on April 13th and closed on April 27th. More information regarding eligibility and the process for applying W th was on the SCERS website on April 13 , 2017. While we at ARSCE can’t endorse any one candidate, Lou Walter has represented us as the retiree member of the Board for a number of years and I think he has done a great job. Speaking of elections, I want to congratulate the winning candidates who ran for the ARSCE Board along with the alternates. -
