Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
Around the sardine factories of Cannery Row in Monterey, California, lived those who worked only when they had to, preferring to talk, fight, drink, and be lazy. These are the characters of Steinbeck's Cannery Row, who have been compared to the rogues depicted in English artist William Hogarth's engravings and in the picaresque novels of the eighteenth century.
Monterey is only a whisper away from Pacific Grove, where Steinbeck and his first wife lived in the early 1930's. The two worlds, however, are continents apart ideologically. Pacific Grove developed as a Methodist campground. One could not buy liquor there, and the sidewalks were deserted not long after sunset. Three miles away, Monterey's bars stayed open almost until dawn. The population of each town was distinct, although the communities were virtually adjacent.
Mack presides over a band of derelicts who live from one drink to the next, one fight to the next, and one day to the next. If earlier picaros lived their irresponsible lives in ways that advanced them socially and economically, Mack's boys do not. Their progress is strictly horizontal. They live by bartering, borrowing, stealing, and conning Lee Chong, the Chinese merchant. They are the street people of an earlier age, although some of them have shacks to retreat into when they must. One of them, Malloy, lives sometimes in a huge boiler that his wife has decorated with chintz curtains.

Summary (Identities & Issues in Literature)
InCannery Row, John Steinbeck depicts the precarious survival of a heterogeneous human community in the cannery section of Monterey, California. In emphasizing alternative values to capitalistic greed as the basis for that survival, Steinbeck implies that the only means by which peaceful amalgamation of diverse economic, cultural, and gender groups can occur is through community.
The diversity of Cannery Row is represented by Lee Chong, the Chinese grocer; by the varied group of European American young men, led by Mack, who maintain the Palace Flophouse; by Dora and her girls, prostitutes at the Bear Flag Restaurant; and by Doc, the scientist owner of Western Biological Laboratory. The novel's rather simple plot concerns efforts to give a surprise birthday party for Doc, the cohesive force within this community. The problems but eventual success of these efforts clarify the alternative values allowing the peaceful transcendence of differences.
The characters in the novel constitute a genuine community because they defy the capitalistic greed and exploitation of Cannery Row. Mack and his friends refuse to work in the canneries except intermittently, and only when there is a specific, emotionally worthwhile objective. Thus, they get jobs in order to acquire enough money for Doc's party, but quit immediately afterward. Doc says of the group, "They could ruin their lives and get money. . . . They just know the nature of...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
In 1930's Monterey, California, sits an abandoned structure near the noisy, smelly sardine factories and wharves that line the Cannery Row neighborhood along the Pacific Ocean waterfront. A good-natured vagrant named Mack, the leader of a gang of vagabonds who inhabit the structure and have named it the Palace Flophouse and Grill, persuades the men to give a party for Doc. Doc is a friendly marine biologist who operates the Western Biological Laboratory, a modest scientific enterprise.
Mack and his gang have no money for the proposed party for Doc, so they hatch a plan to gather the necessary resources. After first considering getting jobs, they unanimously dismiss that idea in favor of a more subtle plan that involves doing a supposed favor for Doc. Under Mack's leadership, the gang devises a scheme to approach Doc and offer its services in a frog-gathering operation. They would go into the countryside, collect as many frogs as possible, and then sell the amphibians to Doc at five cents each so he can embalm and retail them later as biological specimens. Lacking transportation, the men haggle out a deal with Lee Chong, a local grocer who is also their landlord, to borrow a dilapidated truck on the condition that they restore it into working order. After discussing the details with Chong, the men repair the truck and embark on a madcap frog-hunting expedition that forms one of the most amusing episodes in the novel.
Despite getting drunk along the way, trespassing on private property, and stealing wayward chickens from local ranchers, the gang succeeds in catching hundreds of frogs, an event that they mark as one of the most successful frog-catching expeditions in all history. The gang then returns in mock triumph to Cannery Row to celebrate their victory, yet they still lack the funds to throw their intended celebration. After approaching Chong, Mack works out another scheme in which he sells frogs to Chong as currency.
Many of the individuals who inhabit the Row have tragicomic stories. The debt-ridden Horace Abbeville commits suicide after deeding the building that eventually became Chong's grocery. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Malloy live destitute in an abandoned boiler that...

Summary (Masterplots II: American Fiction Series, Revised Edition)
Cannery Row is a sentimental, nostalgic portrayal of the lazy, the shiftless, the good-natured lowlifes who survive at the fringes of a fishing and canning community outside Monterey, California. Working only when they must, preferring drinking, fighting, and indolence, "the boys" of Cannery Row are somewhat akin to the old picaresque heroes of the seventeenth and eighteenth century novel. The picaro of these early novels was something of a rogue who lived by his or her wits, and who, despite poverty and social ostracism, displayed a basic goodness and a sense of practical wisdom.
Like their picaro predecessors, Mack and the boys have little or no money; they live off the vagaries of chance and opportunity; they engage in low-key bargaining with tightfisted Lee Chong, owner of the Row's grocery store; some of them occasionally land in jail. They are not above working when they absolutely have to, but more often than not they borrow, barter, or somehow "find" what they need. Indeed, the essential difference between the picaro and Steinbeck's modern rascals is that the latter lack a sense of purpose or ambition. Where a Lazarillo de Tormes or a Moll Flanders proceeds from one adventure to another in a purposeful, strategic direction, from less to more, from outsider to member of the establishment, Mack and his fellows simply drift, taking one day at a time, indifferent to the possibilities of their own social reformation, of the progress from dereliction to responsibility.
The plot of Cannery Row reflects this drift, this flaccid indifference to significant social action. It centers on the boys' only goal—that of giving Doc a party. A marine...

Chapter Summaries
Chapter 1 Summary
Steinbeck's novel opens with a poetic description of a town that most people probably would not associate with the poetic ideal. Canneries, by their nature, are smelly places, usually inhabited by the lower classes, men and women of multiple ages and ethnicities, who struggle day-to-day. But Steinbeck sees past the hard work, squalid conditions, and difficult lives. To the author, Cannery Row is not only "a stink" and a "grating noise" but also a "quality of light" and "a dream." Throughout the work, reality and dream will play yin and yang to its denizens: among them are Mack and the boys, who inhabit the Palace Flop House; Lee Chong, who runs the areas only grocery and general supply store; Dora and her "girls" who tend the...

Chapter 2 Summary
Chapter 2 begins in a mythical, dream-like tone and continues Steinbeck's give-and-take theme. "The word is a symbol," Steinbeck says. Words are of course only symbolic. The word "tree" is not a tree; the word "factory" holds nothing more than the sum of its letters. But "things" have to have names; they must have a "word" to communicate. Words and things are separate but intertwined.
In the same way, people are more than one thing. The author asks that Lee Chong be considered as "more than a Chinese grocer." He is "spinning in orbit," connecting worlds, his own and his past. As readers, we observe another Lee Chong, a man who goes to China Point in California, digs up the dried and yellowed bones of one of his...

Chapter 3 Summary
Chapter 3 begins with a map of how Cannery Row is organized. To the right of the "vacant" lot (inaptly named because it is filled with non-working appliances, timber, and other junk) is Lee Chong's grocery. Behind the lot and across the set of railroad tracks is the Palace Flophouse. To the left of the lot is Dora Flood's whorehouse.
"The Bear Flag" may be technically illegal but it is far from an eye-sore. Dora's house is clean and well-managed. Dora has been in the business for an astonishing fifty years, first as a working girl and then as a madam. She maintains her business by being tactful and honest, but perhaps most importantly, by maintaining a "certain realism." That realism is that human beings...

Chapter 4 Summary
The weaving in and out of the world of work and the realm of myth heralds the beginning of Chapter 4. Dusk is a time of transition, not only from day to night but from reality to magic. The magic is not limited to the spells and incantations of Western lore, however. The Bay Area of San Francisco has been a home to Chinese immigrants since the late 1850s when work was plentiful due to the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad and the California Gold Rush. With those thousands of immigrants came Eastern folktales and Eastern magic.
So when a mysterious, elderly Chinese man began to walk through the vacant lot of Cannery Row, it was not as startling as one might expect. The man was dressed in a straw hat and denim,...

Chapter 5 Summary
Doc's laboratory, Western Biological, faces the empty lot; on the right is Lee Chong's grocery and on the left, Dora's Bear Flag Restaurant. Doc's laboratory is full of the strange and unexpected. There are all manner of sea creatures: sponges, stars, anemones, worms, and many varieties of shrimps. In addition to sea life, there are also land-dwelling animals: rats and snakes, bees and Gila monsters, cats and frogs. In this list of collections, not truly made much more distinct than the other specimens, are the "little unborn humans, some whole, others sliced thin and mounted on slides." Doc does not make any great differentiation between one life form to be studied and any other.
The laboratory has a basement: this...

Chapter 6 Summary
Chapter 6 finds Doc on a collecting expedition. Located on the "tip of the Peninsula," the Great Tide Pool is a marvelous spot for gathering specimens. When the tide goes out, the sea floor reveals its formerly hidden bounty: crabs, starfish, mussels, snails, eels, and others all scurry about looking for cover or for an easy meal.
The reality of nature is not sugar-coated nor is it studied without judgment. An octopus is described as a "creeping murderer" with "evil goat eyes" who attacks his prey "Coldly...ferociously...savagely." The world of the sea is no more kind or cruel than the world of men, it seems. Here on "life and riches...death and digestion...decay and birth, burden the air."
Doc is not...

Chapter 7 Summary
Chapter 7 begins with a history of the evolution of the Palace Flophouse. When Mack and the boys first moved in, they had not thought of their space as anything more than a shelter from the elements. They did not love it yet. The room as long and bare, lit only by two small windows. The unpainted walls were made of wood; the space still smelled of its former occupant: fish meal.
Mack, the unelected yet undisputed leader of the boys, knew that this collection of men must have something to call their own; some privacy, or at least personal space, must be awarded to each resident in order to maintain the peace. To that end, Mack marked out five oblong spaces on the floor with chalk. In each seven by four foot square,...

Chapter 8 Summary
Chapter 8 introduces two new characters: Mr. and Mrs. Sam Malloy, the most recent residents of the vacant lot.
Three years prior to their arrival, the boiler at the Hediondo Cannery blew up for the third and final time. The owners decided it would be cheaper to just invest in a new one than try to repair the old one yet again. The troublesome old boiler was moved to the vacant lot. There it sat, between Lee Chong's and the Bear Flag. Rust grew around it but sweet smelling plants did as well, wild anise and the white bell flowers from a datura tree.
The boiler was about the size and shape of a railroad car, minus the wheels. And into this now dry and safe space moved Mr. and Mrs. Malloy. They had to crawl...

Chapter 9 Summary
Chapter 9 begins with Hazel and Doc's return from their collecting trip in the Great Tide Pool at the tip of the Peninsula. Mack and the boys watch from their perches at the Palace Flophouse as Hazel unloads the sacks of starfish from Doc's truck and carries them into the laboratory. They continue to watch as Hazel, jeans still wet in places and salt crusting in others where they were drying, makes his way up the hill and home.
Mack, trying to sound out Doc's state of mind in order to gauge the timing of implementing his plan, inquires about Doc's mood. Hazel says he is happy because they caught the number of starfish required to fulfill Doc's order. This is welcome news to Mack, who, after some mulling, decides it...

Chapter 10 Summary
Chapter 10 introduces Frankie, a young boy of eleven, who, like several of the characters in the novel, comes in and out of the narrative. Frankie, it is soon learned, is relatively homeless. He shows up one day on Doc's property. At first, he just peeps in the basement's windows. Eventually, he becomes brave enough to stand inside its door. A few days later, he makes his way into the basement.
Frankie is dirty and unkempt. It is obvious no one cares or looks after the boy. It takes him three weeks to make his way from looking in the windows of Western Biological before he works up the nerve to approach Doc at his workbench and even then he is "ready to bolt" at the slightest provocation, like a feral cat.

Chapter 11 Summary
Chapter 11 begins with a history of Lee Chong's ancient Model T. In 1923, the vehicle had belonged to a doctor, who pampered the truck for five years. It was sold in mint condition to an insurance man, who drove it hard and drove it drunk. Eventually, the battered truck was passed to a new owner in a deplorable state. The new owner cut it up in order to add a new truck bed. The truck's next owner was not good at managing his money and traded it to Lee Chong to pay off his tab. It needed lots of work, which Lee did not do, so it sat deteriorating in his lot behind the store until Gay came to fix it.
Gay is an "inspired mechanic" and soon is able to pinpoint the exact problems that needs to be attended to in order for...

Chapter 12 Summary
Chapter 12 is a diversion from the main plot, one of the frequent sidesteps into the vortex of life that makes up the working-class town of Cannery Row. Perhaps because fame is hard to come by in the blue-collar environment, anyone with any modicum of fame who has stayed in Monterey or passed through is afforded special star status.
In the days before television and only a few years into modern radio broadcasts, authors were still considered a sort of royalty. Monterey's most touted former resident was Robert Louis Stevenson, and it was observed by many and with great pleasure that his geological descriptions in Treasure Island bore a good deal of resemblance to Point Lobos, California.

Chapter 13 Summary
Chapter 13 returns to the plight of Mack and the boys, minus Gay, who went out to find a carburetor for the broken down Model T and failed to return. Eddie had also gone for a spell, but unlike Gay, made it back. He had noticed a construction site not far away and went to see whether perhaps he could find (or steal) a part there. He managed to acquire one. Mack, Hazel, and Jones were asleep when he returned and did not awaken. Eddie caught some sleep himself.
Mack is the first to get up in the morning and the other boys soon are up as well. They eat the bread while Eddie gets the new part installed. Soon, they are on their way again to look for promising pools in which to collect frogs.
As they travel,...

Chapter 14 Summary
Steinbeck has already introduced the early morning hours on Cannery Row as a time for magic in Chapter 4, and he returns to the premise in Chapter 14. While the earlier chapter revolved primarily upon the mystical Chinaman with the flopping shoe, in this section, the magic belongs to everyone.
The "silvery light" of dawn is the conduit for the mystery and magic. It is a time of peace and a time of rest before the busy workday begins. The hustle that will come once the sun has fully risen has not happened, neither for man nor for beast. Cats slither about unbothered by human activity, not yet on their daytime guard. Dogs roam around and mark territory. Seagulls perch and wait for the day's bounty that will come forth...

Chapter 15 Summary
Chapter 15 returns to Mack, the boys, the landowner, and his dog. The boys have left their campsite and gone up the hill to the farmhouse, where Mack is in the kitchen preparing the Epsom salt poultice for the injured dog's shoulder. As he works, the dog's numerous puppies fight for dominance at her teats for milk. The poor dog wearily looks to Mack, her eyes conveying her weariness and seeming to seek his empathy.
The owner watches Mack, grateful to learn how to treat a tick bite. Mack tells him that in addition to healing her shoulder, the owner also needs to get her puppies weaned; they are too old to still be nursing, and the effort to continue providing milk to them is dangerously wearing the mother down.

Chapter 16 Summary
In March, Cannery Row experiences a huge fishing boon. The canneries are operating at full capacity and hiring anyone who wants a job. Business is booming for Dora at the Bear Flag as well, but she has more than she can handle, especially since some of her girls are indisposed: Eva is away on vacation; Phyllis Mae suffered a broken leg in a fall at an amusement park; and Elsie, a good Catholic girl, is away on a religious pilgrimage. It is all a headache for the madam, who must deal with the newcomers as well as make sure her regular customers are taken care of.
The happiness over the bounty of work and money is tempered, however, by a massive influenza outbreak. Schools close down and there is not a single family on...

Chapter 17 Summary
Chapter 17, for the first time in the novel, is devoted solely to Doc.
Although he is constantly surrounded by people, Doc usually prefers to be alone. Mack may be the only one who notices the scientist is a "lonely and set-apart" man, but it is true. Even on the frequent occasions when Doc has a woman in his laboratory, he appears, to Mack at least, to be lonely.
Although Doc occasionally takes someone on his collecting expeditions, most of the time, he spends his time alone, crawling over boulders and turning over rocks. Doc has been a marine biologist for a long time. He knows not only when the tides come in and go out but also when certain tides are likely to provide the greatest bounty. When one of...

Chapter 18 Summary
Chapter 18 finds Doc still making his way to the La Jolla beach for his octopi-collecting mission. It is late in the afternoon and he has made it as far as Ventura, but time is beginning to become more of a factor. He has only time enough for a bathroom break and a quick cheese sandwich when he stops in Carpenteria. It is dark by the time he arrives in Los Angeles, but he has a full dinner there, refills his thermos, and stocks up on sandwiches and beer.
Night driving is not as interesting to Doc because there is little to see, not even dogs. A benefit, however, is that the miles are covered more quickly. He arrives at his destination around two in the morning, leaving him time to spare before low tide. He sits in...

Chapter 19 Summary
Chapter 19 returns to the flagpole skater, the stunt performer hired by Holman's to draw attention to the department store. For days, the man has been atop the pole, skating in circles. He has never come down and people begin to wonder how such a thing is possible without cheating. The general consensus among those watching below is that some sort of support pole must rise through the platform at night so that the man could rest a bit. But no one really begrudges the flagpole skater this brief respite since he did not actually come down, not for fifty-one hours.
Holman's made a savvy marketing ploy when they decided to hire the stuntman. People came from as far away as Grimes Point, and it seemed most of Salinas made...

Chapter 20 Summary
Chapter 20 begins with the triumphant return of Mac and the boys from their frog-collecting expedition. They park the Model T back behind Lee Chong's, set it on blocks, drain the little remaining bit of gas, and take their heavy, dripping sacks of frogs back to the Palace Flophouse. Mack comes back to the grocery store alone to thank Lee for the use of his truck and to brag about their great success.
Doc is still away so Mack uses his considerable rhetorical skills to convince Lee that they need some money fronted to them for a good cause. He tells the Chinaman about the party they are planning to honor Doc. He reminds Lee how he, too, has benefited from Doc's largess, asking him to recall the time Doc gave Lee's...

Chapter 21 Summary
Chapter 21 concerns the aftermath of Mack and the boys' disastrous party for Doc at Western Biological Laboratories.
The lab is now quiet. Rats and snakes are in their cages. Sea life still sits in aquariums that managed to survive the carnage of the party. Machines make whirring and humming noises. It is the very early in the morning, "the hour of the pearl," where magic sometimes happens. It is the hour before the world must brace itself for the day.
Lee Chong emerges in this predawn hour, lugging out his trash for collection. The bouncer at the Bear Flag surveys the street and scratches his large belly. The steady and plaintive barks of sea lions penetrate the relative stillness. And in this hour, Doc...

Chapter 22 Summary
Chapter 23 focuses on Henri, the painter. Henri, it is learned, is neither French nor truly a painter. But in his mind, Henri has imagined himself French for so long that he has convinced everyone, especially himself, that he truly has lived in the Left Bank in Paris. In reality, he has never even visited Paris, much less lived there. His knowledge of French art and the latest trends, like Dadaism, are learned from periodicals. Henri is quick to adopt whatever trend is fashionable in Parisian circles, whether in philosophy, politics, or art. He becomes so enamored of whatever movement is fashionable that he does not find much time at all for actual painting.
While his few odd paintings leave something to be desired,...

Chapter 23 Summary
Chapter 23 describes the "black gloom" that is hanging over Mack and the boys back at the Palace Flophouse. Mack's face is still covered with blood, a result of the beating he took when Doc lost his temper after seeing the destruction that occurred at Western Biological following the disastrous party. As penance for his sins, and as a reminder of his deeds, Mack refuses to wash his face. Instead, he takes directly to his bed and stays there for the remainder of the day. Hurting worse than his broken mouth is his broken spirit; he feels he can do nothing right, no matter how good his intentions may be.
The other boys, while not physically injured, feel the weight of their crimes as well. Hughie and Jones decide to go...

Better than anything in the world, Mary loves throwing parties and going to parties. Her husband does not make a good deal of money, so often, Mary has to convince other people to give the parties. But whenever she is able to do so, Mary throws her own. She has numerous birthday parties every year and no holiday is neglected. Her husband, who loves her very much, is excited because she is excited.
In a way, Mary tries to stay gay in order to boost her husband's spirits....

Chapter 25 Summary
Chapter 25 finds Mack mulling over the possibilities of a new party for Doc and reviewing exactly how the first one got so out of hand. Even though no one will admit to being superstitious, there is nevertheless a widespread belief among most people that once things go bad, they stay that way for a time, despite any attempts to alter the course of bad luck. Similarly, once things begin to take a turn for the better, a string of good luck follows. No one believes it, yet everyone accepts these things to be nonetheless true.
No one is more glad to see the good times start again than Mack, but everyone is sensing the change in fortunes. Doc has a run of success with women. Sam Malloy makes his wife happy by planting...

Chapter 26 Summary
As Chapter 26 begins, two little boys, Joey and Willard, are playing in the yard of the boat works. A cat jumps up on the fence and the boys give chase. They run after the cat for a good distance, picking up good, smooth rocks along the way to chuck at the creature but lose the crafty feline in the tall weeds. Even though their chase failed, the boys are pleased with the rocks they have picked up, for they are the perfect size and shape for throwing.
Walking back to Cannery Row, the two boys stop to practice their pitching and wield a few of their rocks at a metal sign. A man hears the commotion and comes out to find the perpetrators, but the boys are too quick for him. They run, hide, and giggle at the incompetence...

Chapter 27 Summary
Chapter 27 begins with a reminder of the mythical names the author has bestowed on Mack and the boys: the Virtues, the Beatitudes, and the Beauties.
The boys are sitting around the Palace Flophouse and discussing the planning of Doc's new party. October 27, the day Doc has falsely told them was his birthday, has been settled on but the location has not. Mack says he had considered holding the party at their place, but it would be impossible to do so without losing the element of surprise.
There are a number of advantages to having a repeat of the party at Doc's own place, Mack reasons. First of all, Doc likes his laboratory. Second, he has music to play for the guests. Mack threatens to "kick the hell"...

Chapter 28 Summary
Chapter 28 brings Frankie, the young, relatively homeless boy, back into the narrative.
After a disastrous attempt at helping Doc serve guests at a former party, Frankie made himself scarce. But eventually, even Frankie hears about the new party; everyone in Cannery Row is talking about it, and seemingly everyone is planning to attend.
Frankie learns that the party is to honor Doc on his birthday. Like everyone else, Frankie wants to do something special for the unofficial mayor of Cannery Row. He does not want to try to offer his help again, since he had failed so miserably before. In every conversation Frankie overhears, people are talking about what gift they are planning to give Doc. Frankie wants to...

Chapter 29 Summary
In Chapter 29, the day of the party has finally arrived. It is late afternoon and Doc is finishing securing everything that can possibly be secured. Doc tries to foresee every possible scenario for destruction. He locks up his records and makes sure no rattlesnakes are anywhere close to where a curious, inebriated guest might find them. Doc does not want the party to be boring, but he does want it to be as safe as it can possibly be, for both himself and his guests.
Doc brews a pot of coffee and puts a record on the phonograph. He takes a shower and puts on clean clothes. No one has yet told Doc the party is indeed happening on this particular day, but Doc feels certain that today is the day. All day long, he senses...

Chapter 30 Summary
In Chapter 30, the long-awaited party is taking place. Like anything that is overly anticipated, there is bound to be some letdown, and this occasion is no exception to the rule. Still, as things are getting under way, everyone's hopes are high for a fantastic evening.
At eight o'clock, just as they planned, Mack and the boys pick up their jugs of alcohol and head down the hill to Western Biological. When Doc opens the door, Mack makes his best attempt at a formal speech, to the embarrassment of them both. Still, Mack forges ahead; on behalf of all the boys, he wishes Doc a happy birthday and informs him that they are holding twenty-one cats as a birthday present over at the Palace Flophouse.

Chapter 31 Summary
Chapter 31 leaves human trials and looks at the natural world, which humans are, of course, a part of but rarely do they see their own troubles as bearing any resemblance to those of other, "lower" mammals.
This chapter is about a gopher. Fully grown and very able-bodied, the creature has moved into a weedy area of the vacant lot, the same lot where Mr. and Mrs. Malloy live in the windowless, abandoned boiler.
The mallow grass growing in the lot is green and thick. The ends of the grasses hold "little cheeses," which are delicious to gophers. The earth is ideal as well: rich and dark and composed of just enough clay to make it perfect for building sturdy tunnels that will not fall apart.

Chapter 32 Summary
Chapter 32 is the final installment of Cannery Row. The party is long over. Doc struggles to awaken and return to reality as glimpses of the previous night slowly come into focus. He sees the new quilt on his bed, a birthday present from Dora and the girls, lovingly stitched for him out of remnants of their silk dresses. There is lipstick on his beard.
Less pleasant sights soon follow. Broken dishes are strewn about the floor. Wine has been spilled, seeping and staining where it has not been wiped up. Books have tumbled off the shelves and lie splayed out "like heavy fallen butterflies." Spent firecracker shells have left their red paper carcasses lying around.
The mess in the kitchen is...

I have owned almost every Thinkpad generation laptop starting all the way back from Pentium 1 models. These things are built like a tank. When lenovo bought out the thinkpad line, they luckily have not changed them too much. Through this, they gained relatively good reputation. Then they started manufacturing other lines, like ideapad etc.
My suggestions would be to NEVER buy anything lenovo unless it's the T series, and maybe the W series. I would hesitate the W series only because those are overly packed with powerful components which is usually a problem for laptops in terms of heat. I have 4 thinkpads right now, 2 of them lenovos. They just won't die and for some reason I don't want to sell them. In all, just stay away from any other line from lenovo except the T series. |
This can be debated, but I don`t consider the X61`s heat not to be as big of an issue as the T61`s manufactured prior to August 2008 with an extremely high rate of failing Nvidia chipsets. I`m also a big fan of IBM/Lenovo, Panny Toughbooks too. My latest Lenovo is a X230T and it`s been great, in my opinion, the best of the X Series by far. If I was asked to choose between either the new T`s or W`s, give me the W please. Kind of a trick question though, because there was no wrong answer! Tolerance is a very dull and boring virtue, but it is essential to the completeness of character, which allows us to endure all the unpleasantness that exists in our diverse culture.
I don't have much knowledge in the X series, but that's good to hear that the X series are holding up. I think that the X series was started after Lenovo acquired the thinkpad line, that's why I didn't really know much about them. The W series are basically the same thing as the T series, just (a lot) more stuff packed inside. Regarding advanced video chipsets in laptops, they really shouldn't be there in the first place, haha. I agree though, the NVIDIA chipset is not too great in lenovos and I am not sure why it causes so many issues. It's still continuing to do so to a degree. They haven't really figured out too well when to enable the chipset when the user requires it, so it ends up running pretty poorly. I tend to have mine forced to run globally because I notice it does not turn on for some video games. :/ |
just got my laptop in the mail! they keyboard came popped up for some reason, but it clicked and looks seated well when i pushed it down. and keyboard is confirmed to be backlit. one thing that bothered me upon opening the laptop was the num lock key...does anyone else's numlock key look like it's popped up higher than the rest of the keys when you turn the backlight on?
Bought this lappy couple of weeks and paid $549 plus tax..had to call Lenovo twice to due to the wireless issues. The WIFI turn off by itself and there is no way to turn it on by ourselves. The so called functions keys to enable/disable the WIFI doesn't work either.
As I couldn't deal with these issues, I ended up returning it. Staples even offered some discount if I like to keep it, but felt it wasn't worth it. Hope this helps some one thinking of going for this laptop. |

Clemson Baseball vs. Davidson Baseball Star In Rain Delay Games
This isn't exactly sports media and you've probably seen a fair share of rain delay videos, but I'd be remiss if I didn't proudly say that I graduated from Davidson College in 2008 and played on the baseball team, so this is near and dear to my heart. I might also be able to add a little something extra on rain delay antics.
First, here's the video via Tosh.0:
These type of shenanigans never happened while I was at Davidson unfortunately, but we didn't just sit around and twiddle our thumbs. We'd play pepper, flip, pseudo-pebble tennis or whatever that game with a cup and a fake pebble was called, and other random things. Sometimes we'd tape up an old baseball, start a game of tic-tac-toe or draw up a hypothetical trade, and throw it to the other dugout. They'd either play their turn in tic-tac-toe/counter the trade offer, or just write "No" and toss it back. Good times. But, man, I wish I got a chance to partake in the above. The moose hunting and curling are instant classics, as was Clemson's tanning bed. If I had a shot at this I'd probably suggest, hmmmm, an aerobics class, a Beyonce music video, mock surgery or ... I don't know?! I don't think it gets much better than human curling - and it's less demented than the human centipede.

Go back
You're welcome.
oh.... yes.Then I guess the problem is solved.Thank you.
HiI am getting 1 for the total in the first table.It seems to me you forgot to add the case when X=0.
Ok... Lets do it this way:P(X)= Combination * (0.4^Total_Groups * 0.6^(5-Total_Groups))
Try using the exact values. And, also, it should be a 2 there, not a 5.
I am not sure I understand. If we say that for the "exactly one group is late" we need to calculate: intersection of "one group is late" and "four groups are not late", and any of the five groups can be late. So the formula for the one group become:
Those probabilities are not correct. The problem is that if you want exactly one person to be late, you only get the probability that one of the two is late, but not that everybody else isn't.
I am reading and rereading the textbook and I still do not understand what exactly is the pmf and cdf?Here is a problem from the last homework:Suppose we have three couples and two individuals - five independent groups in total (eight people). Three couples are marked #1, #2, and #3, groups of one person are marked #4 and #5. Each of these five groups can be late for a meeting with a probability 40%. All groups are independent from each other.Let X be a number of people who arrived late.Determine pmf and cdf for X.Well, first I tried to formalize X:

Arthro Tall-Ette Elevated Toilet Seat
80%excellent product
1/9/2013 7:28 AMWas this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)
20%VERY, VERY BAD DESIGN IF YOU ARE 5'8" OR SHORTERPurchased for Left Hip Replacement.
If you are shorter than 5'8" this seat will torture you! It elevetes you almost 6" and is way too tall for the average woman, and probably some men. When you sit, your good leg dangles in the air so when you are ready to get up, you have no leg/foot on the floor to lift yourself off. I had to twist around to grab the original toilet seat with my left hand, put my right hand on the divider wall I happen to have and lift myself up until my foot reached the floor. So far, this seat has given me a sprained muscle in my right behind, and strained the muscle in my lower right arm. My new hip is great. Now, the rest of my body has to recouperate from this seat.
This mfrg discontinued their 4" H model. I used that for my other hip and it worked great. Not a clue why they discontinued it. Bad decision.Was this review helpful? Yes / No (0/0)

For Loans
You Apply,
We Appraise
You apply online or by phone and then after a consultation send us or drop off your asset for valuation (shipping is free and fully insured). We complete the valuation and assuming your asset qualifies, we send you the loan offer details.
You Accept,
We Wire
Once you accept our offer and we have possession of the asset, we wire the funds immediately, right to your bank account.
You Pay Back,
We Return Asset
Once you pay back the loan and any unpaid interest that accrued, we safely return your asset in the same or even better condition than before.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely not. And the range is vast, including:
Most kinds of jewelry, including rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings containing gold, platinum, diamonds. If you have a tiara or a lorgnette or a chatelaine, we're good with that, too.
Precious gem stones – that means diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires. Semi-precious stones, too.
Luxury watches – modern and vintage - including Rolex, Cartier, Breitling, Audemars Piguet and Tag Heuer.
Luxury handbags – we currently only lend on Hermès & Chanel handbags to be specific.
All kinds of fine art, which includes paintings, photography, sculpture, lithography, and drawings. If Sotheby's and Christies sell it, we'll lend against it. And if they don't, we might lend against it anyway. Ask us.
Most types of antiques including furniture from the 18th century through the 20th century; pottery and porcelain; scientific instruments; stamps; arms and armor; and a broad range of collectibles and decorative arts.
Prestige and classic cars
Prestige and classic cars including Ferrari, Aston Martin, Range Rover, Bentley, and Tesla. Of course, we hold the car during the period of the loan so you will not be able to drive it, other than vicariously.
Fine wine collections
We lend against collections of fine wine, and we store your Rothschilds with respect, in cellars that are climate and humidity controlled.
Moon rock? Private jet? Negatives of 1920s movies? Unusual items aren't all that unusual for us. Let us know what you have and we'll see what we can arrange.
We lend up to $2,000,000. Our maximum loan-to-value is 70% of our estimate of the market value of your asset, and depending on the asset can be as low as 30%.
At Borro we've "collected" some of the best appraisers in the world; they've come to us from places like Sotheby's, Christies and Phillips, as well as from museums and private collections. Their walls are filled with framed diplomas and certificates from the American Association of Appraisers, Gemological Institute of America, The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors, Gemological Association of Great Britain, The Goldsmiths' Company.
Because of their insight and knowledge, they are able to offer you the best possible loan value.
Not all costs are created equal. When you buy a piece of jewelry at Tiffany, or a car from BMW, you're paying the retail price. If you decide to sell the ring or the car today, you'll get the market value not the "replacement value." The difference is what's called "depreciation" – and it covers the mark-up the dealer, their rent and overhead, the nice latte they give you. The relationship between market value and the retail cost varies by item; in the case of jewelry, figure that anywhere from 30% to 60% of the retail price walks out the door with you.
We thought you'd want to know. Our interest rate varies between a flat rate of 2.99% and 3.99% per month. The difference is based on the asset and the value of the loan. The bigger the loan, typically, the lower the rate.
We also charge a set-up charge to cover our appraisal and other costs involved with originating your loan; It is applied when you accept the loan and range from 3% to 5%, depending on the value of the asset.
We also reward loyalty; three months after your first loan, you qualify for our repeat customer discount, which means the set-up fee is reduced to 2% - 4% for each subsequent loan.
Our loans are six months in duration, but we do 9 and 12 months if needed. Either way, you can always pay it early with no penalty. Once your payment has cleared, we'll safely ship your asset back (sometimes, depending on where it's stored, you can also pick it up yourself.) You only have to repay the loan amount plus the interest due at the time you redeem your loan.
Yes, you can apply for an extension to your loan. If we approve it, you will need to repay any unpaid interest that's due at the time of the extension as well as a set-up charge. We will then create a new agreement for the amount that you are borrowing.
Up until you sign for the loan you have total flexibility. Here's how it works. Once we have your asset in hand – whether it's shipped or you drop it off – we will appraise it and tell you how much we're willing to lend. We'll also provide you with the full details of the loan – terms, conditions, rates, you name it. Then it's up to you. If you agree to go ahead, you will be issued with a credit agreement which, once accepted, becomes binding.
Faster than you might think. Once we have the item, have valued it, and you approve the loan offer, we can provide your funds immediately – typically via a bank transfer.
We try to make it as convenient as possible for you to make your regular payments. So we accept Wire Transfer (Bank), Cash Deposit, Checks and Debit card. Of course, some methods are faster than others at clearing our bank than others, so you'll want to understand the timing of how you've opted to pay, to make sure your account is timely.
We probably shouldn't tell you this, but the answer is "no." Loans with Borro are made and managed outside the credit agencies and their reports. What happens with Borro stays with Borro. If you don't pay us back – and we try to work with you to avoid this – is that we'll sell your asset for the best possible price. We'll take the total amount we recover, subtract the total of the amount you borrowed, plus any outstanding interests, and the costs associated with selling the item – for example, any auction fees – and return rest to you. We never make a profit on any items we sell, and we'd rather not have to do that.
It couldn't be simpler.
For watches, jewelry, gold, fine art and antiques, you can get your items safely and securely to us by using our free and insured courier options or meeting with one of our experts at our valuation center in New York, NY. For high-end assets, we have a team of expert appraisers who will meet you to appraise your item on location.
And your cars? We will arrange the collection of your vehicle by an unmarked transporter from a location of your choice.
Wine will be transported by a specialist wine handler to one of our wine storage partners.
Start by making an appointment to meet with one of our experts in our valuation center in Midtown Manhattan between 9am and 5pm, Monday-Friday.
You will be met by your account manager and a member of our valuation team. You will then receive an expert appraisal of your assets along with a quote for your Borro loan.
If you choose to accept the loan offer and you complete identification checks, we will be able to wire you the money innediately.
It is always best to make an appointment in advance but you are welcome to drop by if you are passing by.
Watches, jewelry and gold are stored in our highly secure vaults or with one of our partners which include Citibank and Malca-Amit.
Cars are stored with one of our specialist partners which include Exotic Classics, Top Store and Sphere Motorsports.
Fine art and antiques are stored with Day & Meyer or one of our other partners which include CFASS, Cadogan Tate, The Fortress and Peak Fine Art, to name but a few.
For wine, our specialist wine storage partners include Winecare, Liquid Asset Storage and Domain Wine Storage.
It's a loan that is secured against a personal asset – or assets - in advance of a sale at auction or privately. Our sale advance loans can release up to 70% of the estimated sale price while we manage the sale of the assets. Once the transaction has been completed, you will receive the sale, less any outstanding interest and any sale transaction fees.
A sale advance loan is a process where you turn an item over to Borro for us to manage its sale. We extend a loan to you in anticipation of the ultimate sale.
A personal asset loan is where you borrow against an asset, without selling it. It's a way to release equity. At the end of the loan period your assets are returned to you once the loan amount and accrued interest are settled.

Diapers & Inserts
Inserts and fitted diapers are made of soft cloth and are the absorbent part of your 2-piece diaper.
When using a 2-piece cloth diaper, you need to change the insert or fitted diaper when it is soiled, but you can re-use the wrap several times before washing it. This means that you dont need as many wraps as inserts or fitted diapers. Hurray for less laundry!
2-piece cloth diapers are well-loved for their versatility. You can mix and match different inserts, fitted diapers and wraps to find a variety of combinations that you like for different circumstances. Prefold inserts are especially versatile - they can be folded in different ways to create more absorbency where it is needed.
Consult our Cloth Diaper Dictionary for more information on cloth diapers.
Inserts and fitted diapers are made of soft cloth and are the absorbent part of your 2-piece diaper.
Reliable, durable, and cute-as-a-button, wraps are the waterproof part of your 2-piece cloth diaper.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- A landmark building on Syracuse's east side is getting a facelift.
The former Babcock-Shattuck House on the corner of East Genesee and Westcott streets is getting extensive exterior work done. The cost is estimated at more than $300,000 and is partially funded by a grant from the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
The building was commonly known as the Jewish War Veterans Home, built in the late 19th century.
The home has been boarded up and vacant for more than 20 years.
The nonprofit University Neighborhood Preservation Association recently purchased the property from the city and is planning to covert the house into condominiums. The entire project should be completed in a year.

Croc 2 Infrared Flat Iron (1")
Faye S.HairBlackDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairCroc Is The BestI compare my hair to a pile of hay - it's really coarse, thick and gets dry easily. I've tried a lot of expensive flat irons: Sedu, Solia, Chi, T3 and etc. but I was disappointed with all of them because they either died early or wasn't hot enough for my hair. I'm one of the people that needs the temperature to reach 450 degrees to have any effect and luckily Croc doesn't even damage it but leaves it shiny! I will keep buying this brand forever!posted Nov 27, 2010Link to this post
KristinaHairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairThis Straightener Changed My Hair Routine Completely.I have incredibly thick and curly hair that tends to get very frizzy. It's always been extremely difficult to straighten and takes a long time, for sub par results that will frizz up and it drives me crazy! This straightener, however, is amazing. My hair comes out silky and smooth with no hair products except a simple wash and conditioning... it's even almost completely straight by the second day and only takes me about two minutes in the morning to fix the frizzies and baby waves where my hair was pulled up.
I was disappointed with the instructions for the straightener, there are barely any! It doesn't even tell you that you have to press the power button again to turn on the infrared setting, but once I figured this out, the infrared setting is amazing. Also, the speed it takes to heat up is insanely fast. It heats up to 400 degrees in less time than it takes me to split my hair into sections and clip it up.
Ever since I got this straightener, my hair takes so much less time and is so much silkier and smoother than it ever has been. Also, I've read reviews of people with slightly damp hair frizzling up and burning; this hasn't happened to me. I remove most of the moisture by blow drying and it might be slightly damp, but it still straightens just as well (it might be a little more difficult, but there is no burning or anything of this sort). I would recommend this straightener to ANYONE.posted Nov 21, 2010Link to this post -
LizOcala FloridaHairDark BrownThick or Coarse HairA Must Have For All Hair Types!!!!I ordered the Croc 2 infrared 1' a couple days ago and I used it immediately, this hot tool delivers in performance, temperature, texture of the hare, and it does not burn or damage the hair like other straighteners. I use to use the Chi, which is a good hot tool, and the Babylist, now this one smokes a lot and will burn your hair and fingers if the temperature is not adjusted correctly. The Chi will remain as a back-up but the Croc is the best out of all the hot irons I've used. This is a MUST HAVE for all hair types!!!!!!posted Oct 25, 2010Link to this post
StaceyThe BestI have done my research on flat irons and purchased a sedu about two years ago. While that flat iron is good, it kills your hair over time, causing it to break and fall off at the ends. The plates also don't touch so you cant get your hair perfect. The Croc's infared makes my hair silky, shiny, and my hair has grown to lengths i've never had before. I highly recommend it and have been using it for about a year and have had no damage (at 370 degrees).posted Jun 27, 2010Link to this post
ToryDon't Hesitate And Buy This Flat IronI have tried many flat irons (Chi, Sedu,and Superstar).My CROC blows them all away. My hair gets super straight, shiny and looks extremely healthy. If you are a minority or have thick unruly hair, this flat iron will not let you down. I am really confused about some of the bad reviews on here. They must of got a lemon.posted Jun 26, 2010Link to this post
ChelseaPittsburghI Love It/ Help Me Pick One!i dont have the croc yet, but my best friend does. i am mixed with very curly hair. about a year ago my grandma bought me a CHI i didnt want it, i wanted the paul mitchell hair straightner. i absolutely hate the CHI! i went over my friends house before a party and used it for the first time. i was so stunned about the outcome of my frizzy hair. i just need help on which one to buy, i have my heart stuck on the croc 2 infrared for 150, but i dont know. please help me out, thanks!posted Jun 2, 2010Link to this post
TiffanyRead People Read!!!!!!!!This curling iron does great work, it works efficiently and it has extremely long lasting effects. The most important thing that I would like to exclaim at this time though, is that the negative reviews listed on this page are simply because people are not reading the very short instructual guide that accompanies this curling iron. It specifically states that there is to be no use of additional products while using this iron, as far as pre-sprays, heat protectors and any other additives. They are indefinately the cause for the burning of smoking of the hair. It's not a typical result of this iron. People just need to follow instructions and read up on their products before using them.posted May 23, 2010Link to this post
KgHairThick or Coarse HairGreat Until The SmokeI have had my Croc for a few months now. I enjoyed how well it straightened my thick hair. Now, I have broken off spots in my hair. This has never been the case with my hair since it's always been in good condition. The last time I used it something on the inside of it started smoking...I quickly unplugged it. It kept smoking and had a horrible smell to it. I must have a defective one!posted May 21, 2010Link to this post
CrystalGreat ProductThis is a great product, I was using the ISO hair straightener in my hair prior and it is about 100 times better, I only had to run it through my hair one time. I've tried GHD, Chi, and many others with not as satisfactory results. My hair is very wavy curly and has a lot of frizz in it. I also have the keratin treatment done to my hair and HIGHLY recommend it, you can buy the bottles on Folica now and do it at home. It was super fast shipping I bought it on the 5th and got it on the 7th!posted May 8, 2010Link to this post
MaleetHairAuburnColor Treated HairBest Flat Iron I Have Ever Used!My hair is red/burgundy (been bleached and dyed many times- slightly damaged)... After I would style it on low heat with my other flat iron, it would feel pretty dry... Today I was thrilled to come home from an early workday to see this flat iron had arrived (FAST SHIPPING)... after using it one time i noticed it straightened very fast and I did not have to go over it so many times... No pulling either on my hair... PLUS the best part was I didnt feel like my hair was steaming or too hot to the touch- I definitely could get away with straightening it with less heat than before. My hair felt less damaged - I am amazed. I love this flat iron! Glad i found it after a week of searching for the perfect one!posted Apr 13, 2010Link to this post

I used to make lots of homemade pizzas for my sons and their swimming buddies. They were competitive swimmers and after a 2-hour workout, it took lots of carbs to satisfy their hunger. So I would make pizzas for them. They convinced me one time to try tossing the dough in the air, like the "real" pizza makers do.....Do you know how hard it is to clean up pizza dough from a tile floor???? Worse than cracked eggs!!!!
