Gear Review
Awesome pants. Used for 2 years so far.
I've got the True Black from 2007, but the design is very similar. Love these things. Spacious, super comfortable, and the vents make the pants perfect for any weather. I've never had snow get in the vents. I've used them in weather from -10 degrees up to 45 degrees, in comfort. The only time I've had water sneak in is last week when I was out in the rain for 6 hours. Even then, it was just a little wet.
Highly recommended. They look sweet, too.
so would you also say they are really really baggy?

Expansion Reprints?
Posted 03 May 2014 - 11:24 AM
Posted 03 May 2014 - 08:20 PM
The "Base Game" is no longer in print.
It has been re-released as a Silverline Edition, which is not compatible with the older edition or the Expansions.
When I asked, I received this reply: "FFG have no plans for an expansion to the Silverline at this point."
Posted 15 May 2014 - 05:23 AM
It is a pitty that the new edition of game is not supported anymore by expansions. That's stopping me to buy a copy from my local retailer in Slovakia - if there is not a firm promise to release them I consider the game incomplete.
Posted 30 May 2014 - 09:02 PM
I picked up the game and all the expansion when it was still in print (before Silverline). Haven't played much with the expansions, they add some, but not much. The base game is fantastic and well worth it. I'd get it in silver line regardless if they did reprints of the expansions or not.
Posted 20 October 2014 - 02:57 AM
Lets hope that with the release of the final chapter of the Hobbit they will make a reprint of the expansions for the fans!

How should I deal with bit locker if I want to swap OS temporarily?
I've got Win 7 32 bit installed on my lenovo x301. I wanted 64 bit but had to install 32 bit for a VPN app. I now have the ability to use their 64 bit app but I want to test it first.
I've got Bitlocker turned on with the TPM on my 32 bit install. I want to swap HD's and install 64 bit Win 7 to test the VPN software and if it works I want to do a complete 64 bit re-install on the original SSD since it's 128gb and my test drive is only 64gb. Should I decrypt my 32 bit drive and turn off bitlocker before I swap the drive for my test? Is this the best way to deal with what I want to do? If I try and install the other drive with bitlocker still on and the TPM activated it would give a violation correct? I'm thinking to just remove bitlocker all together so I can easily swap drives. If my test succeeds I'm going to do a fresh 64 bit install and can re-activate the TPM and bitlocker on the new install. Just wanted to make sure this was the best way to deal with the TPM. I'm always nervous that I will somehow cause the TPM or bitlocker to think there was a problem and start denying access to my 32 bit install. |

I decrypted the drive, turned off the tpm and was able to swap drives without any trouble at all. When I finished my tests I re-enabled the tpm, re-encrypted the drive and all good.

These batteries work well, but most have such a soft negative end plate that they collapse and then won't charge due to lack of contact to the charger terminals. The lithium batteries seem to last 2-3 times longer than a typical charge, but overall it's much cheaper to recharge and have a spare set on hand.
Reviewed by Pierre Respaut (Posted on 10/12/13)
I charged these batteries like I was suppose to but the batteries don't keep a charge very well. I have to charge them after just 20 minutes of use. I am very mad about this because I paid way too much for batteries that have to be constantly recharged
Reviewed by Chris (Posted on 10/12/13)
I have found great success withis product. As a professional security contractor, I rely on these on an hourly basis. The name Surefire alone, carries a great deal of expectation. These batteries indeed live up to the name that " Surefire ", implies. I highly recommend this product for any operator, or for ANY other day to day user in need of the finest illumination tools, and ancillary products which are needed to get the job done. KRUSHER.
Reviewed by Chris N. Kinzy (Posted on 10/12/13)
I bought these for duty work and they work great with my Surefire 6P LED light. The downside is that they will not work in my pistol tac light. I contact Surefire about the issue, and they told me that they were not the same specs as commercial batteries, and they were probably a mm or two shorter, and thus more might not work in other items. That is fine with me as I rarely use my tac light, but use my flashlight multiple times a night. I have had two sets of batteries that get rotated as needed from charger to light, and they have been running strong for over a year now. I know that one set has even been through the washer with the light. You would never tell other than they were cleaner. Great products all around.

I bought these batteries and the charger at the first of 2013 and they are well worth the money spent if you have a LED light and use it a lot. I carry what's in my light and a set of spares wherever I go and I use it a lot. I couldn't afford the 123 cells that I would have gone through by now. If you have a LED light, buy these.

Do not use LFP 123A batteries with incandescent illumination tools. See Restrictions below.
These two LFP 123A lithium-phosphate rechargeable batteries—which retain approximately 50% of their original capacity even after 500 charging cycles—will power SureFire illumination tools that use disposable 123A lithium batteries. The runtime of these LFP 123A lithium-phosphate batteries is about 50% of that provided by disposable 123A lithium batteries; maximum output levels are typically not affected. Use of these rechargeable batteries can result in a cost savings over time, depending on usage habits. Recharge only with AC/DC charger included with SF2R-KIT01, sold separately.
- LFP 123A lithium-phosphate rechargeable batteries provide hundreds of charging cycles
- Use of LFP 123A batteries can result in cost savings over time, compared to disposable 123A lithium batteries
- AC/DC charger sold separately
Warning: As with disposable 123A lithium batteries, do not mix rechargeable LFP 123A lithium-phosphate batteries with other types or brands of batteries, including but not limited to 123A lithium batteries.
Rechargeable LFP 123A batteries are only to be used to power LED illumination products (built to use 123A lithium batteries) and NOT those featuring incandescent lamps. The initial elevated voltage of these rechargeable batteries, immediately after charging, may cause the filament contained within an incandescent lamp to break or "burn out."

No. The second half is fine, but not the first.
Can you say:
"After explaining you the math exercise, can you get on with your studying"?
No. The second half is fine, but not the first.
Much like many other speakers of continental European languages "explain me" works in your language, but not in English. Try again.
Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.
Apart from the 'explain me' that ems pointed out, you have a dangling participle there. 'After explaining that question to your brother, can you get on with your homework?' is OK. Your use of the participle is not.

HOUSTON — Entering play Saturday, David Ortiz didn't lead all Red Sox hitters in batting average and on-base percentage in July. The resurgent Daniel Nava didn't, either. Nor did the streaking Dustin Pedroia.
Through the 10 games in the month of July, the best hitter in the Red Sox lineup had been Jackie Bradley Jr., the defensive whiz who's starting to see some life in his bat.
Bradley spent the team's June road trip to Oakland and Seattle tinkering with his stance, opening his front foot the way he had early in his professional career. The move appears to have paid dividends. In 17 games since the start of that road trip, Bradley has posted a .344 on-base percentage. In his last eight games, Bradley has posted a .433 on-base percentage. He singled twice and scored a run on Friday night against Houston.
"You can see things kind of turning," he said. "I just feel comfortable. That's the norm. I don't really think I've changed anything mechanically besides opening up. Before the pitch is delivered, I close it back up. It's just, I think it was more of a comfort thing and a timing thing for me."
"He's done a lot of early work to create and maintain a more even swing path," Boston manager John Farrell said. "We're seeing less swing and miss, we're seeing strikeouts diminish, and we're seeing more consistent contact."

Cameron Diaz shares her formula for becoming happier, healthier, and stronger in this positive, essential guide that is grounded in science and inspired by personal experience.
Cameron Diaz has been a role model for millions of women all over the world throughout her career. But, as she'd be the first to admit, she hasn't always been as health-conscious as she is now.
As a young woman, Cameron didn't always think about how the decisions she was making about her diet and lifestyle would impact her health for years to come. But over the past fifteen years, she has discovered that what she eats is inseparably linked to how she feels and looks. That knowledge -- that nutrition impacts life -- fuelled her hunger to educate herself about the best ways to feed, move, and care for her body. In The Body Book, Cameron shares what she's learned and offers a comprehensive guide for women to look and feel their best.
Cameron doesn't offer a one-size-fits-all program or set goals to reach in seven days or thirty days or a year; instead, The Body Book offers a long-term approach to a long, strong, healthy life. Informed by experts and grounded in science, but brought to life by Cameron's passion and personal experiences, The Body Book is an empowering, educational, and inspiring handbook for women everywhere.

CEA Forecast: Consumer Electronics Revenue to Exceed $155 Billion
Arlington, VA - Jan 6, 2007 - Factory-to-dealer sales of consumer electronics are projected to exceed $155 billion in 2007, which is a seven percent growth, according to the semi-annual industry forecast released today by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).
Revenues for 2006 totaled $145 billion. The results surpassed original CEA projections for the second year in a row. The CEA originally projected eight percent growth, but the final number was 13 percent growth for the year.
A large part of the growth is in TV set sales as flat panels replace CRTs. The CEA attributes the "successful ongoing transition to digital television" to driving the demand.
Other consumer electronic items with anticipated large sales in 2007 include gaming systems and MP3 players. The CEA projects that MP3 players will account for 90 percent of the $6 billion in revenues for the portable entertainment market. In 2006, 34 million MP3 players were shipped and an additional 41 million are expected to ship in 2007.
Other strong sellers will be GPS devices, PCs, accessories and digital imaging devices. In 2006, shipment volumes of laptop PCs eclipsed their desktop counterparts.

"In the late ninth century, while England was fighting off Viking incursions, Alfred the Great devoted time and resources not only to military campaigns but also to a campaign of translation and education unprecedented in early medieval Europe. The King's English explores how Alfred's translation of Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy from Latin into Old English exposed Anglo-Saxon elites to classical literature, history, science, and Christian thought. More radically, the Boethius, as it became known, told its audiences how a leader should think and what he should be, providing models for leadership and wisdom that live on in England to this day. It also brought prestige to its kingly translator and enshrined his dialect, West Saxon, as the literary language of the English people." "Nicole Guenther Discenza looks at the sources Alfred used in his translation and demonstrates his selectivity in choosing what to retain, what to borrow, and how to represent it to his Anglo-Saxon audience."--BOOK JACKET.

Nonmetallic chemical element, chemical symbol P, atomic number 15. The ordinary allotrope, called white phosphorus, is a poisonous, colourless, semitransparent, soft, waxy solid that glows in the dark (see phosphorescence) and combusts spontaneously in air, producing dense white fumes of the oxide PO; it is used as a rodenticide and a military smokescreen. Heat or sunlight converts it to the red phosphorus allotrope, a violet-red powder that does not phosphoresce or ignite spontaneously. Much less reactive and soluble than white phosphorus, it is used in manufacturing other phosphorus compounds and in semiconductors, fertilizers, safety matches, and fireworks. Black phosphorus, made by heating the white form under pressure, is flaky like graphite. Phosphorus seldom occurs uncombined in nature. As the phosphate ion, it is abundant and widely distributed, in apatite, phosphorite, and many other minerals. Phosphorus has valence 3 or 5 in compounds, which have many uses in industry. Phosphine (PH) is a chemical raw material and a doping agent (deliberately added impurity) for solid-state electronics components. Organic phosphorus compounds are used as plasticizers, gasoline additives, insecticides (e.g., parathion), and nerve gases. In living organisms the role of phosphorus is essential; it is a component of DNA and RNA, ATP, and bone.

Frequently Asked Questions
1) Why is nitrogen important?
2) What is reactive nitrogen?
3) What is virtual nitrogen? How is it calculated?
4) What is tertiary sewage treatment? How can I know if I have it?
5) What can I do to influence my N footprint?
6) What else can I do to reduce nitrogen pollution?
1) Why is nitrogen important?
Nitrogen (N) is one of the building blocks of life: it is essential for all plants and animals to survive. Yet despite making up 80 percent of our atmosphere, none of nitrogen in the air we breathe is accessible to us. Like being lost at sea and dying of thirst, we are surrounded by nitrogen yet unable to use it in this "inert" form.
Humans and other life require nitrogen in a "fixed," reactive form. The amount of reactive nitrogen available served as a cap on the amount of plant life, and thus food, that could grow until researchers discovered a way to manufacture reactive nitrogen. This discovery one hundred years ago has allowed food production to keep up with the growing human population, but at a high cost.
Today, reactive nitrogen has dramatically increased in our air and water. It comes primarily from agricultural activities such as fertilizer use and manure runoff, and the burning of fossil fuels. This "nitrogen pollution" causes profound environmental impacts, including smog, acid rain, forest dieback, coastal 'dead zones', biodiversity loss, stratospheric ozone depletion and increased greenhouse gases. It also affects human health, including respiratory disease and an increased risk for birth defects.
Globally, humans are the main contributor of reactive nitrogen to the environment—far more than all the natural processes combined on continents. In contrast, human activity contributes just 5-10% of CO2 emissions. Part of the problem with nitrogen is that in most of the industrialized world, chemical nitrogen fertilizer use is highly inefficient, with 80% of the reactive nitrogen draining off the fields into nearby rivers and streams, or evaporating into the air.
Fortunately, we know how to solve the problem. This Nitrogen Calculator can help identify ways we can all work to reduce our nitrogen footprint, while continuing to benefit from its life-giving properties.
2) What is reactive nitrogen?
Reactive nitrogen (Nr) includes all forms of nitrogen that are biologically, photochemically, and radiatively active. Compounds of nitrogen that are reactive include the following: nitrous oxide (N2 O), nitrate (NO3 -), nitrite (NO2 -), ammonia (NH3), and ammonium (NH4 +). Reactive forms of nitrogen are those capable of cascading through the environment and causing an impact through smog, acid rain, biodiversity loss, etc.
The non-reactive form of nitrogen is N2 and makes up about 80% of our atmosphere. This form of nitrogen does not contribute to the environmental impacts noted above.
Unless otherwise noted, the term "nitrogen" or "N" on the N-Print website refers to "reactive nitrogen" – not its non-reactive diatomic form.
3) What is virtual nitrogen? How is it calculated?
Nitrogen as a fertilizer is used to grow food. Some of the fertilizer N is taken up by the plant, and after processing only some of that N actually makes it into the final food product (embodied N). Virtual N is the rest: any nitrogen that was used in the food production process and isn't in the final food product that you consume. Much of it either runs off of the soil into nearby waters or is lost to the atmosphere; virtual nitrogen is calculated to include the entire food production cycle and includes crop losses, animal waste and more. Once all of these inputs and releases are tallied, the nitrogen that you consume in your food can be subtracted out; leaving the remaining amount as virtual nitrogen.
Different food products demand different amounts of nitrogen inputs and have varying nitrogen use efficiency, which determines how much of the nitrogen is released into the environment.
4) What is tertiary sewage treatment? How can I know if I have it?
Most municipal sewer systems in the United States have primary or secondary treatment, which filter the human waste and break down its biological content. However, this level of treatment does not remove most of the reactive nitrogen. Only about 5% of homes in the US are attached to municipal sewer systems with tertiary treatment, which further break down waste to a non-reactive form (N2) that does not harm the environment.
Knowing the level of sewage treatment at your local sewage treatment plant is very important because it can impact your N footprint by about 10%. To find out if you have tertiary sewage treatment, contact your local municipal sewage treatment plant.
5) What can I do to influence my N footprint?
While some elements like electricity production are out of your control, there are many things that you can do to reduce your nitrogen footprint. Here are a few, stratified by food and energy – aspects of the N footprint:
- Alter your diet: try to choose foods produced on more sustainable farms. These use practices that reduce their amount of nitrogen fertilizer runoff into the water and air. If they raise livestock, they take care to manage their manure so it doesn't pollute.
- A protein-heavy diet is nitrogen-intensive. The Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) recommendation is 0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day for adults (or 0.8 g protein per kg body weight). See page 4 of this document from the Institute of Medicine for more information. If you eat more than your recommended protein intake, try replacing some protein with other types of food like fruits, vegetables and grains.
- Limit your household utility usage by using more efficient appliances.
- Choose more sustainable transportation methods like carpooling, public transit, bicycling, or walking.
- Reduce your consumption of goods and services by limiting unnecessary purchases, reusing, and recycling
It is important to note that doing many of these things even just one day a week can make a big difference over time. Most of these lifestyle changes will reduce not only your nitrogen footprint, but also your carbon footprint and your ecological footprint. These changes will generally lead you to live a more sustainable life.
6) What else can I do to reduce nitrogen pollution?
We already know how to reduce our nitrogen footprint: use less nitrogen fertilizer, eat fewer energy-intensive foods, and try to minimize fuel-heavy forms of transportation, like airplane travel. These suggestions aren't unique to reducing nitrogen pollution– many people trying to create more healthy communities are calling for these changes. You can go one step beyond your personal lifestyle choices and join others in calling for:
- More renewable electricity choices from your local utility, such as wind and solar power
- Increasing government support for sustainable farming practices
For instance, there are current discussions in the US Congress about conservation measures within the national Farm Bill that encourage farmers to grow food more sustainably. Let your local Representative know you support these measures.

Whether it's scribbled, scratched or sprayed, graffiti is a fascinating public art form. Martha Cooper, the fabulous photographer, has teamed up with Here Comes The Neighborhood, a short-form docuseries that explores the revitalizing power of public art. Her work is featured in "HCTN Episode 7: Martha Cooper".
Cooper is best known for documenting the New York graffiti scene in the '70s and '80s. She continues today in places like Wynwood, Miami (NW 20th Street to NW 36th Street and from North Miami Ave. to NW Sixth Ave.). Cooper has watched graffiti transform from an illegal, underground art form into a creative way to regenerate neighborhoods.
Tony Goldman, owner of Goldman Properties, is a developer and visionary with the ability to find beauty and potential in unlikely places. He is most recognized for his work in SoHo and South Beach. Since 2004 Goldman has purchased 2-dozen buildings in Wynwood, which became the canvases to Barry McGee (San Franciso), Aiko (Japan), Swoon (New York), and Shepard Fairey (California), just to name a few. Cooper began documenting the restoration in 2009.
Watch this splendid do-gooder video at blogue, and see the beauty of graffiti transform Wynwood into the epicenter of the arts for the Greater Miami area.

State trooper shot in head, lives
A Washington State Patrol trooper survived an attempted execution early Saturday morning, adding to law-enforcement fears that they are being targeted for violence.
Seattle Times staff reporters
A Washington State Patrol trooper survived an attempted execution early Saturday morning, adding to law-enforcement fears that they are being targeted for violence.
Just after midnight, Trooper Scott Johnson, a decorated 25-year veteran, was processing the car of a drunken-driving suspect in downtown Long Beach, Pacific County, when a "scruffy-looking" man emerged out of the dark, according to the State Patrol.
The man mumbled something, and Johnson acknowledged him. When Johnson turned his attention back to the car, the man drew a small-caliber pistol and fired twice at the back of the trooper's head. The gunman then ran away.
One bullet grazed Johnson's ear. The other remained lodged in the back of his head. Remarkably, Johnson was in stable condition at a Portland hospital — alert, cracking jokes and able to describe the gunman to investigators and take a call from Gov. Chris Gregoire.
"I'll tell you what, the good Lord or somebody was looking out for him," said Long Beach Police Chief Flint Wright, who visited Johnson, a well-known local figure, at the hospital.
The incident comes amid one of the bloodiest stretches for Washington law enforcement in at least 50 years. Nine law-enforcement officers have been shot since Halloween, and six of them died. They include four Lakewood police officers — Sgt. Mark Renninger and Officers Tina Griswold, Ronald Owens and Greg Richards — killed in the deadliest single attack on police in state history.
"This is constantly on our minds," said State Patrol Capt. Robert Johnson, no relation to Scott Johnson, at an afternoon news conference. "It's a trend the likes of which we do not recall seeing."
After K-9 units and a State Patrol airplane conducted a search early Saturday, more than 60 officers from jurisdictions around the area began going house by house in Long Beach, a resort town on the Pacific Coast. The Washington State Patrol Troopers Association was offering a $25,000 reward, and Tacoma-Pierce County Crime Stoppers offered $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.
"I am troubled that we've had yet another police officer ambushed while performing what should have been a simple law-enforcement task," State Patrol Chief John Batiste said in a statement. Batiste joined Johnson's family at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Hospital in Portland, where the trooper was being treated.
Routine arrest
Around midnight, Trooper Jesse Greene pulled over a woman in Long Beach on suspicion of drunken driving. Johnson, working solo in a patrol cruiser, arrived at 12:20 a.m., allowing Greene to take the driver in for processing.
A tow-truck driver arrived and was preparing to tow the car when the shooter suddenly appeared. The man exchanged words with Johnson and opened fire at 12:40 a.m. Johnson got off a shot, but there was no indication at the scene that the man was wounded, said Patrol Sgt. Freddy Williams.
The tow-truck driver, George Hill, radioed in the shooting.
Johnson was first taken to a Long Beach hospital, then driven to OHSU. Although the bullet remained in his head and Johnson was in pain, he was interviewed by Portland police detectives.
Johnson and Hill gave a detailed description of the attacker: a man between 35 and 40 years old, unshaven, between 5 foot 10 and 5 foot 11, 185 to 200 pounds, wearing a dark, insulated shirt and possibly a knit cap.
The State Patrol released a sketch of the man late Saturday. Investigators interviewed the drunken-driving suspect but found no reason to believe she had any involvement with the shooter, Williams said.
Law-enforcement officers from Oregon and Washington have dropped in on Johnson and found him alert, conscious, even joking.
Wright, the Long Beach police chief, said Johnson joked to him, "My supervisor needs to know I'm on OT for all this." Wright said of Johnson, "I've known him 20-plus years. He's a great guy. He loves being a cop."
"A local boy"
Johnson has spent nearly all of his 25-year State Patrol career in Southwest Washington. He graduated from South Bend High in 1980; his parents still live there. Johnson, who has four adult children, also owns Johnson & Sons Excavating in Naselle and employs his father as a manager.
"This is a neighbor, this is a friend," Long Beach Mayor Bob Andrew said in an interview Saturday, calling Johnson "pretty much a local boy."
He said residents were experiencing "a little bit of shock because usually we're insulated from some of the big crime issues that happen in large cities."
In 2004, Johnson was named Trooper of the Year by the Ilwaco American Legion Post. He would have won it before but had steered the honor to other troopers, according to a feature story on Johnson in the Chinook Observer in Long Beach.
"Everybody knows I like to talk," he said at the awards ceremony. He joked that his dress shoes were so old their soles were disintegrating even as he crossed the stage.
A search for gunman
Teams of law-enforcement officers from coastal jurisdictions and the State Patrol, working in 12-hour shifts, planned to canvass Long Beach, then comb homes up the 13-mile Long Beach peninsula, said Williams, the State Patrol spokesman.
Pacific County Prosecutor David Burke said his office was gathering information in case a search warrant is needed. "We're not there yet," he said late Saturday afternoon.
Earlier in the day, search efforts involved a roadblock outside of Ilwaco, but the roadblock was lifted in late morning.
Williams said the State Patrol had "no information" about the identity of the shooter. The State Patrol is soliciting tips at 1-800-283-7808.
"They're pulling over almost everybody, checking our rigs. They're doing their darnedest to find him," said Natasha Luce, bartender at the Crab Pot restaurant near the shooting scene. Customers weren't scared, she said: "I'm sure if you went outside and hollered, 'Help!' there would be about 10 cops here in a second."

What book changed your life?
Paranoid me, but I always see that question as a trap. It means you're about to be judged on your literary taste, so you'd better come up with an obscure but Significant Work of Literature—like a poem by Rilke (quick, what's his full name?). But all I ever come up with is Nancy Drew.
Nancy. She had great clothes. She had a blue roadster ... great pals ... a boyfriend ... a doting father ... and a surrogate mother in Hannah-the-housekeeper. Best of all, she had an unlimited supply of pocket change—which allowed her freedom and adventure. She was 18, I was 10 or 11, and I adored and envied her.
Obviously, I didn't become a detective. But after devouring every book in the series, I did become a Reader. When at 13, my friend Mary Phelan Turner got me to read all 1,000+ pages of Gone With the Wind, I was hooked on books—reading became my drug of choice.
Something fun for a book club meeting:

Do book clubs ruin that mysterious quality inherent in the act of reading—being transported to another world?
A New York Times writer says she envies her 11-year-old daughter's ability to melt into whatever story she's reading. The author, an analytical reader, says she longs for her girlhood when she could completely lose herself in the magic of a book.
I am not sure when or exactly how I started merely reading books instead of living in them…. But I suppose…the byproduct of growing up is that I formed too many opinions of my own to be able to give in wholeheartedly to the prospect of living inside someone else's universe.
—"I Wish I Could Read Like a Girl," Michelle Slatalla, New York Times, 1/1/09
By "merely reading," I think Slatalla means reading with critical awareness rather than pure enchantment. But for me reading and thinking are synonomous. Opinions, life experiences, and achieved wisdom end up enriching the reading experience.
That may not be true for everyone. And then again, there are plenty of times I like to "just read" without doing the heavy lifting.
Questions for Book Clubs
Tuesday, 30 December 2008 14:06
It's said we live in an age of irony—irony is in; sincerity is out. It's the importance of NOT being earnest that matters.
What is irony? Think Seinfeld—"Whatever…," "Duh…," "Yeah, riiiight"—all said with an arched eyebrow, a knowing wink. The "ironic stance" is detachment.
When it comes to fiction, writers, critics, and readers adore irony—most recently, Jonathan Franzen's Corrections, Gary Shteyngart's Absurdistan, Zadie Smith's On Beauty, and Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones. Even classics like Pride and Prejudice are plumbed for their irony.
Jane Austen's brand of irony derives from her subversive wit, which undercuts class structure and decorum. It's a type of irony in vogue today: one that exposes hypocrisy and punctures holes in pretensions, beliefs and institutions that no longer stand for truth or meaning.
But literary irony is far more complex. It's been around since Oedipus—he who unwittingly marries his mother; who searches for a king's murderer, only to find himself; and who attains inner "sight" only when blind.
Writers from Sophoclese on down have used irony because it mimics life. Though irony takes numerous forms, the most common definition is an opposite reality from what is intended or expected: the king brought low; the underdog raised up; best-laid plans gone awry.
To learn more about irony, see LitCourse 8—based on Edith Wharton's wonderful short story "Roman Fever." The courses are short, free, and fun! (And that's not ironic.)

This article in the New York Times dishes out some pretty good gossip on book clubs—it turns out, not everyone's thrilled about the club they belong to. No! Really?
Come on—didn't we learn way back in childhood the maxim, "you can't please all the people all the time"? Why would book clubs be an exception? —
Common complaints
Book Selections. Not everyone likes the reading list. Some like classics, some chick-lit; others nonfiction or sci-fi. It's not easy to satisfy divergent tastes.
Discussions Problems. Some members complain about too much socializing or a lack of substance; others feel the discussions are too academic, taking the fun out the whole exercise.
Hosting Competition. Hosting can become a game of one-upmanship—so much so that some members put hosting right at the top of their stress index. Where's the fun in that?
Some advice
If you're starting a club, set some guidelines at the outset about the types of books you want to read and the nature of discussions. (See LitLovers tips on How to Start a Book Club.)
If you're in an existing club, conduct a survey, formal or informal, to find out if your club is meeting members' expectations. What types of books do members like? What kind of discussions? How much time devoted to social vs. book talk? What kind of food and who cooks?
If you're one of the unhappy ones, feel free to move on without too much guilt…and without too many hurt feelings. You might simply tell your members that you want to try a different approach. Nonetheless, no matter how diplomatic everyone is, leaving is always hard. But be brave.

Hello…ello…lo…….. Are book clubs like echo chambers—reading and talking about the same books? Joshua Henkin (Matrimony) worries that we are: you know, books like Water for Elephants; Eat, Pray, Love; Kite Runner. We're all reading them and reviewing the same ones.
Here's how Henkin puts it:
There are a lot of great books out there that people don't know about . . . . [At the same time] fewer books have more and more readers. . . . For that reason, it has become harder for all but a handful of books to get the attention they deserve.
—Books on the Brain, 4/29/08
Henkin makes a strong case. Pity new authors trying to get their books noticed. It's got to be disheartening.
Nonetheless, there's something delightful that so many of us are on the same page. The book club movement is like the city that promotes a single book for its residents to read. Meet someone at the water cooler, at the mall, on the bus…and a conversation gets started. "Hey, how do you like Eat, Pray, Love? Have you read such & such yet?" It's suddenly easy to find commonality, even with total strangers.
And while Henkin is right—many more authors deserve our attention—perhaps book club lists have more variety than expected.
Take a look at the list below. It's a sampling of titles that have cropped up recently on LitLovers website—some are mentioned by our featured book clubs, others come from people who email me to request a reader's guide. It's an interesting list.

English—what a great language to have fun with! Below are homophones, words that sound alike but have different meanings. (I've taken a few liberties here.) My thanks to Gordon Higgins. He's too, too clever.
Don't You Just ♥ Words?
to | too | tutu | two
It's what I do for a living. Too, too sad. Anyway, hope you'll join in the fun. These are mine. Can you find others . . . or come up with your own. It's good exercise for the brain—honest.

Let me tell you how easy it is to get over your attachment to books—the kind with paper pages? Once you hold this gorgeous book-machine (yes, machine) in your hand, you won't want to let go. Ever.
It's surprisingly easy on the eye—so you can read for hours, even even bump up the type size. It's easy to flip from page to page and back again. You can bookmark pages, highlight passages, even make notes! You're automatically connected to Amazon, so with a click of a button, you buy your books—and they're downloaded within a minute. Ooooooooh… I'm in love!
But dear librarians, here's the question: what will you do? If our books become electronic, what's the future for libraries? I know librarians all over the country are asking this very question—I read your blogs. (Wow, do you guys blog!) And what will become of bricks-and-mortar book stores?
Oh, how did I get my Kindle? After all, they're not cheap. Well, my dear friend Lynne presented it to me as a gift! Give her a call. Maybe she'll take a liking to you and get you one, too. Here's her number: 202-555-1234. Good luck.

Cheap shot, that title. I suspect there are a healthy number of men who do join book clubs — in fact I read about one just recently.
The Second Monday Men's Book Group in Melbourne, Florida, is featured in the Nov-Dec '08 issue of Bookmarks magazine. Funny story—before they formed their group, they thought they'd see if they could join one of their wives' book clubs. Here's what happened:
We brought it up. They shot it down. We'd change their dynamics by merely being present—and what would happen if we opened our mouths?
Which brings to mind the joke: If a man is alone in the forest and he speaks ... is he still wrong? Apparently so. Anyway, the guys decided to form their own club, now numbering around 7.
In an earlier post, I wondered what kind of books men read. Well here's how the Second Monday group weighs in:
Tuxedo Park (radar) | Cadillac Desert (dam-building) | Soul of a New Machine (computers) | Jungle (meat packing) | Washington's Crossing (history) | American Theocracy (politics) | Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman (physicist's memoir) | Everglades, River of Grass (history) | West With the Night (female aviator's memoir) | Why Americans Hate Politics (politics).
FictionAmsterdam by Ian McEwan | Saturday by McEwan | Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brien | My Antonia by Willa Cather | Foundation by Isaac Asimov (sci-fi) | Maltese Falcom by Dashiell Hammett | Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler | Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon | Suite Francaise by Irene Nemirovsky | The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
Question: Is this a typical list for men's book clubs—with 50% of the books nonfiction and 80% of the writers male?
Also, see So…Where Are the Guys? — an earlier post about men and book clubs.

Question: Can you really say you've "read" a book when you've listened to it? Does listenting count as "reading"—and does it work for a book club discussion?
Answer: Well, at least we get through the book! In a busy life, that counts for something.
On the other hand. . .we're usually multi-tasking when listening, which means the book doesn't have our full attention. Second, we read at our own pace: pause, ponder, re-read, or jot a note. Hard to do with audio while driving. Third, in a book discussion, it's easy for everyone to turn to a particular passage on a particular page. Not so easy with audio.
Two other considerations: purists say a narrator's voice can unfairly influence how we experience a work. And finally, it turns out our memories work better when reading rather than listening. That's especially true for adults and older students (though the research isn't definitive).
So not being a purist, my advice is to enjoy audio books whenever you feel like it—but read the printed version when it comes to your book club selection. (See LitLovers Discussion Tips.)

Everton FC always fight to the end: Sylvain Distin
Everton defender Sylvain Distin believes the club has an inherent winning mentality which is impossible to ignore.
And the Frenchman admits if, as a player, you do not grasp it within a couple of weeks of arriving manager David Moyes is quick to point it out to you.
The players' never-day-die attitude was exemplified in their last-gasp 2-1 win over Tottenham on Sunday when Steven Pienaar and Nikica Jelavic scored within 88 seconds of each other to secure a deserved three points after Clint Dempsey's deflected opener against the run of play.
"We always believe we can win and we proved it again," said the centre-back, who stressed they were not happy to settle for a draw after Pienaar's 90th-minute equaliser.
"We were unfortunate with the goal we conceded but we never stopped believing and we always kept fighting.
"We don't have to think about it, that is the mentality at Everton and after two weeks at the club that is how you behave because you follow the rest of the squad.
"Whether we are 1-0 down or 2-0 up, we play from the first second to the last second.
"Personally I've always been like that but if you are a player who is not too much like that you change your attitude pretty quickly and you follow everyone going in the same direction.
"When you join a club like Everton it feels like home after two weeks and it comes naturally – if not you have the gaffer on your back at the end of the game and you don't want that."
The win was only the second in 10 matches but it restored Everton's place in the top four.
Distin insists their current position is not something the squad currently think about but their Champions League dreams may start to materialise if they still occupy a top-four slot in a month's time.

Hi, I am trying to find a great "espresso" brown-black hue for my bathroom cabinet. What do people recommend? Paint Chips seen above: Upper Left, RL Cargo Brown; Behr Dark Truffle; Behr Espresso Beans, MStewart Burl. Lower left, Behr Iced Espresso and RL Galvanized. Note that is the same countertop in photos 2 and 3, just different lighting. Also the wall is the same color in 1 and 3 (disregard the nasty bright yellow glue in photo 3, to be replaced with a tile backsplash). Below in photo 4 is my mistake, trying out a friend's custom color (which looked darker and less milk chocolate in her low-light bathroom): thanks so much for any advice! colorfast |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just another crazy thought. I have a quart of ORB paint that I've always thought would be great on a piece of furniture. Just haven't found the right piece. |
What color is ORB? Thanks! |
It's the oil rubbed bronze color they use on light fixtures, lamps, faucets, etc. Used it in spray form on a lamp and loved the slightly iridescent black/brown color. I was looking for a great brown/black color for a bookcase for a friend and thought it would work, she actually went another direction so it wasn't used but I still have it in the back of my mind for an accent piece. |
Here is a pic of my bedroom- BM Middlebury Brown And 2 pics of the color of all the doors in my house- Pratt & Lambert Obsidian |
Hey, thanks guys! I love these all these ideas. I actually have heard of Oil Rubbed Bronze but didn't know anyone sold a paint by that name too. BM? Rustoleum? I'll have a look for it. Does Middlebury Brown sometimes read a little "purple" or is that just the photo and/or my screen settings? I really, really like the Obsidian but admit I've never gotten P&L paints. I think I know where to get them in town. I will only need a gallon. Will check out BM and Pratt and Lambert websites for those colors and maybe a few more google images of them. |
BM Bittersweet used to be a popular color like you are describing. Haven't searched for it yet on this site, but it should bring up some pictures. |
In looking further, it's called BM Bittersweet Chocolate. I searched on GW and didn't find anything, which was strange because the color was so popular about 4 years ago when I was looking for that color. I googled it, and up came a lot of images if you try that. |
Thanks, Ollie. I thought that one might look a little too chocolate...one of the first pictures I pulled up of it made me cross it off my list. Perhaps prematurely. It all seems to depend on the lighting how these dark paints look. But given that it was 4 years ago... Am I looking for something that's on its way out? I am not a huge trend follower but on the other hand, I don't want to intentionally date my house. |

I have one living room wall painted BM Espresso Bean CSP-30. It definitely is a black-brown like you are describing. |
Thanks, everyone. I ended up selecting RL Galvanized and having it put into a Miller brand paint. (Miller is a regional brand that is good quality.) Galvanized is more toward black but not a true black and looked good with the counter and wall. I also liked Behr Espresso Beans, which was a bit more brown-black. Given this was a cabinet receiving regular use, I was a little concerned about the quality of the Behr paint holding up. |

"This is so delicious, I was having a barbecue chicken for dinner and just wanted something to go alongside and this sounded perfect. I was planning on getting the bacon but in the supermarket alongside the chicken were small packets of hot cooked ham slices that were reduced for a quick sale so that saved me some extra time and I used that.
"These are really tasty, I made and took them to a girls night out, I had tasted a few not long after I made them and thought they were quite good..but found they were even better having left them for a day in an air tight container. My friends all loved them and wanted the recipe.

Spend less on your flights, and
more time enjoying yourself.
Choose your destination,
find the best flights and
start your next holiday.
1. Lowest fares We have teams at DialAFlight whose job is to keep in touch with every airline and keep the communication flowing. This means that not only do we get all the news about routes, aircraft and upgrades first, but we are given their lowest fares exclusively to pass on to you. When flights are on sale, we hear about it straight away, which means you can save money. 2. Take advantage of our buying power DialAFlight has been running for more than 34 years. We are experienced at selling travel and, more importantly, we have huge buying power when it comes to flights. Think about buying in bulk: Everything is cheaper that way. And the more flights we book, the cheaper our flights become, which is another reason to keep coming back again and again. 3. Talk to an expert Our sales people have more than 3000 years of collective travel experience making them probably the best travelled people in the whole of the UK. They know the best parts of the cities, the back streets and hidden gems. They know the quietest beaches, they've stayed in the hotels and boutique guesthouses. And they'll tell you from first-hand experience what to see and what to miss. 4. You're safe with us You've noticed ash clouds, floods, ice and earthquakes delaying and cancelling flights recently. You never know when or where they are going to strike, which is why travelling with a bonded company is essential. All hotel and flight packages booked through DialAFlight are bonded and safe. 5. No-frills airlines Travelling with no-frills airlines, however, won't give you this safety. And the reason why we call them no-frills rather than low-cost is because once you've added extras for luggage, check in, credit card charges and travel to and from their remote airports, you often end up spending a lot more, for a lot less comfort. 6. Booking flights + hotels = you save money Saving money when you book through DialAFlight is simple maths. When it comes to booking holidays, there is always a part of us that wonders 'would it be cheaper to do it all myself?' In fact, because of the lower rates we receive from hotels and airlines, this isn't true. As well as their lowest fares, airlines also give us non-advertised fares which are even lower, specifically for use in combination with a hotel or car hire package. 7. A better deal Low flight costs plus cheaper-than-advertised hotel rates can only mean one thing: A better deal. This, along with our expert knowledge of hotels as well as our insurance bonding, means booking with us really is a no-brainer. And that is why our customers are some of the smartest travellers around. Most fly several times a year and many companies use us for their business travel too. 8. Smaller credit card fees Unlike some airlines, we don't charge for debit card payments, but we do have to apply a 1.95% charge for credit cards (about the lowest in the travel industry), because this is what it actually costs us.
