Story Behind the Art:
In the village of Tien Lu, the creation of baskets, lacquer ware and other handicrafts is an integral part of the community and culture, even causing a festival every year on August 21st. Domestic competition for the tourist market tends to cheapen both quality and the artisans' return from their work. This group, already with nearly 100 members, hopes to expand through Worldstock, bringing additional villagers into better-paid work in improved conditions.
What is Worldstock?
The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.

I have been wanting a vase like this for a few years. I ordered two, one for a wedding gift and one for me. The bride and groom loved it and put it on their new coffee table.

For retirees who don't wish to take any market risk, one of the most straightforward retirement income strategies is to simply purchase a bond ladder that will provide the desired cash flows in each year of retirement. Ideally, the payments are secured out to an advanced age, "just in case" the retiree lives that long… with the obvious caveat that if the retiree doesn't actually live that long, there will be a lot of money left over that "could have" been spent but wasn't. But that's simply the risk of an "unknown" retirement time horizon.
In the case of a (lifetime) annuity, on the other hand, the time horizon is known, at least in the aggregate – because with enough people, the mortality rate actually becomes highly predictable, even if it isn't known exactly which people will pass away from one year to the next. Yet by knowing that at least some people will die each year, an annuity can pay out a portion of the funds that will have been left behind by those decedents, effectively providing larger guaranteed payments for the group than any one individual could have generated on his/her own.
These "excess" payments are known as "mortality credits", and represent a unique contribution of (lifetime) annuities that simply doesn't exist with an individual annuity. In fact, the potential for mortality credits means that, for any given maximum potential life span, annuities can actually pay out significantly more than what any individual could enjoy on his/her own, as the contribution of principal and interest and mortality credits will always be greater than the underlying principal and interest alone! Conversely, though, the benefit of mortality credits exists only by virtue of the fact that the other annuitants – and not the annuity owner's heirs – will benefit from any unused funds that are left over; in fact, trying to protect against an annuity loss in the event of early death, and protect heirs, actually eliminates much of the benefit that annuities are meant to provide in the first place!

Kentucky Wonder... bush or pole?
Okay, feeling silly once again with such a dumb question. I planted 9 (I think) per square foot of Kentucky Wonder beans. Now I'm wondering if they are bush beans instead of pole. I see them listed as both on different horticulture websites. I guess they're normally bush types, right? But, they can come in pole variety?
Anyways, how do you know which kind that you have? I kind of expected (not sure why) that they would be one long vine that wrapped around a bamboo pole or something that I used as a small trellis-like thing for them to grow up. The plants that I have seem to be growing several more than just one vine straight up. Does that mean that they are bush, not pole beans?... Okay, I know this question is probably stupid, but I truly have no idea what I'm doing yet... LOL... any help is appreciated....
BTW, if these continue to grow like this, I think 9 per square foot is WAY too many... YIKES...
Kentucky Wonder comes in both bush and pole varieties. Do you still have your seed packet? It will say right on the front which kind they are. Bush beans will get probably 12-18 inches high and not have long tendrils that grow up and around the pole. If you are seeing these tendrils growing out of the plant, you have pole beans. I have both of them planted in my garden (both Kentucky Wonder) and I'm concerned I will have a problem picking mine (bush) that are so closely spaced. They will be awfully hard to find in all that growth. Next year I am going back to planting them in double row the width of the box, spacing seeds 4" apart and rows 4" apart. Right now I have 12 solid squares, and it's a jungle in there!
Here is a link that might be useful: Annie's Kitchen Garden
I have the same with blue lake. The nice thing about them is that the bush produce until the pole beans start. Continual harvest is nice!
Here is a link that might be useful: Sinfonian's garden adventure
That's an interesting thought, Sinfonian. I will consider doing that in the future. I've heard that bush types taste better than pole, so I will be able to taste them and be sure if I agree.
Granny, thanks so much for all the info. It seemed silly to check the packet, but there it was. It says they're pole. The other green beans I got from Wal-Greens didn't say if they were bush or pole, so we will see on them as they grow.
These pole beans sure aren't one long vine as I thought they would be. They don't have tendrils yet, so I guess I will update this thread as they get bigger and let you know my newest thoughts. It's odd that they don't since the green peas I planted at the same time have lots of tendrils. hmmmmm
I was going to take a photo to show you the difference, and my camera batteries are dead :-(
Soon as I get some batteries, I'll do that.

Boise State to play Oregon State in Sheraton Hawaii Bowl
- Staff Pacific Business News
Boise State has accepted a bid to play Oregon State at the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl at Aloha Stadium on Christmas Eve.
The Idaho Statesman reports Boise State (8-4), which has won a conference or bowl championship every year since 2002, except 2007, will play without coach Chris Petersen, who is moving to the head coaching job at the University of Washington,
The Broncos last played at Aloha Stadium last season, when they beat fellow Mountain West Conference rivals, the University of Hawaii, 49-14.
Hawaii lost to Oregon State 33-14 on Sept 7 in Corvallis.
The Sheraton Hawaii Bowl was created in 2002 for Hawaii after the team finished that season 9-3 and didn't receive an invitation to play in a bowl game. The team, which is guaranteed a bid if the team is bowl eligible, has played in it six times.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Protests tough call for police
Keeping peace in tense situation
RCMP officers at the native blockade of Highway 16 and the CN Rail line were armed with a court injunction when they asked protesters to walk away on Wednesday.
But police didn't arrest anyone. Instead, CN halted rail traffic on the line. The RCMP kept the court papers in their pocket and helped the dozen protesters by blocking road traffic until the remaining small group of protesters called it a night.
Related Items
Organizers were emboldened, claiming a victory over police and CN because their group was not arrested.
Similar protest scenarios were played out across the country as part of a national day of protest over government legislation and treaty violations. In Winnipeg, dozens of protesters from the Berens River First Nation marched down Memorial Boulevard to the steps of the legislature. Another group of natives from the Shoal Lake area blocked the Trans-Canada Highway near the Manitoba-Ontario border during the afternoon, backing up traffic in both directions.
"These are difficult situations for the police," said Michael Weinrath, head of the criminal justice department at the University of Winnipeg, who said police are confronted by open defiance of the law yet also realize there is potential for more violence in enforcing the law.
"If you look at the history of these types of efforts to disrupt travel and transportation, when the police have made efforts to arrest, those situations have sometimes escalated and sometimes there are allegations of excessive use of force."
A spokesman for the Winnipeg Police Service declined to answer questions about their policing strategy in dealing with the native protesters.
RCMP Chief Superintendent Scott Kolody said the RCMP prefer dialogue over force with protest organizers, adding officers can quickly deal with any situation that develops at a demonstration and charges can always be laid after the fact.
Former Winnipeg police deputy chief Menno Zacharias said police take a risk when they decide which laws to enforce.
"Any time police start to pick and choose which court orders they will obey or enforce based on political expediency, they are treading on dangerous ground, not only ethically but also legally," Zacharias, a 34-year veteran of the WPS, said.
Graham Starmer, president and CEO of the Manitoba Chambers of Commerce, said rail and road blockades have been used by native leaders for years as a tactic to pressure government to deal with their concerns. Starmer said such tactics impose a price on the economy, but added governments need to take responsibility to deal with native concerns before the damage becomes serious.
Police actions could inflame a situation, Starmer said, adding arrests could draw unnecessary attention or lead to escalating violence.
Weinrath said the RCMP on Highway 16 and Winnipeg police on Memorial Boulevard decided the best course of action was no action. The bitterly cold weather may have been a factor, but in the end, the protesters walked away.
"At this point in time, it looks like it might have been a good decision by police to wait and approach it that way," Weinrath said.
But not everyone thinks the hands-off approach by police is in society's best interest. An Ontario judge was so upset with police who failed to enforce an injunction he had given to CN Rail last weekend that the judge took the rare step of voicing his displeasure publicly.
"No person in Canada stands above or outside of the law," Ontario Superior Court Justice David Brown said when the Ontario Provincial Police opted to ignore the injunction Brown gave to remove a group of native protesters blocking CN Rail traffic near Kingston, Ont.
Weinrath said while blockades and protests cause inconvenience, the damage from the Idle No More protests has been minimal.
"In Canadian society, the right to demonstrate and to voice your concerns within reason, people will allow a certain amount of political protest in this country," Weinrath said.
However, he added attitudes will change if protesters make good on threats to bring the economy to a halt.
"One train in the grand scheme of things isn't going to make much of a difference, but if we see more consistent and persistent efforts at disruption, that's when it's going to become more difficult."
-- with files from The Canadian Press
Balancing rights with court orders
Statement from RCMP Chief Superintendent Scott Kolody, officer in charge of criminal operations in Manitoba, in response to why native protesters were not arrested or charged for Wednesday's Highway 16 rail and road blockade despite a court-ordered injunction ruling the demonstration illegal.
-- "As the provincial police force in the Province of Manitoba, the RCMP's objective is to balance the right (charter) to peaceful demonstration as well as the safety of officers, the public, and demonstrators involved.
-- In managing any type of demonstration, the RCMP will always take a measured response where open dialogue with organizers is favoured and the use of force is always a last resort.
-- The RCMP has extensive experience in planning security measures. Our personnel are appropriately trained to apply these measures. We are in a constant state of preparedness and are able to deal quickly with whatever situation arises.
-- This by no means precludes the RCMP from investigating any unlawful acts and laying charges when appropriate after the event.
-- In Manitoba, there have been no reports of injuries by officers, the public or the demonstrators involved relating to any recent demonstrations."

I think we are getting side tracked. The question posed by the OP in this thread was WHY people complain about doing dailies.
Looking back, blizzard has taken steps over the years to remove items which give advantages to raiders that were considered too grindy. Remember putting wizard oils on your weapons in BC? or chain potting throughout fights? Sharpening stones for melee? these features were a part of raiding for a long time and were removed because they were seen as putting an unnecessary burden on raiders who just wanted to focus on raiding... not farming materials for consumables.
Absolutely, and that was the exact point I was trying to make ;)
The root of the issue though is that it's not right for an activity in the game to be looked at as a problem simply because of how necessary it feels to someone based on their personal playstyle. It isn't like the old head/shoulder enchant, where you could point to an empty enchant slot and say there was nothing there at all, and therefore that person "wasn't trying". As long as there's epics available through other means, it shouldn't matter how many extra methods there are in the game.
They complain because of the perception other players may "get ahead" through doing them, when they personally don't want to. They feel they can't just ignore them because of a fear that they'll be overlooked in favor of someone that didn't ignore them.
I'm yet to see something that doesn't fit that root explanation, and it's a very, very poor (and somewhat selfish) reason to complain about the system.
Edited by Alelsa on 11/30/2012 11:13 AM PST
Oh, believe me....I am NOT forced to do my dailies.....but, they are more required than you or Blizzard lets on.
See, I purposefully haven't been doing dailies on this toon for the most part. I've done some, but only am exalted with Cloud Serpents. I've been not doing them because I don't really like them....but I would have made myself do them for rep and achievement points already if it weren't for one thing....I wanted to see what the level 90 experience was like without touching my dailies.
For a couple weeks now I've left this toon alone almost entirely (mostly using her to help others do stuff, or attempt the first boss in MV, or battle some pets in Pandaria) because I'm soooo bored. Without doing the dailies I feel like there is nothing else to do but level alts. Now, I know that's my own fault really...I got burned out early on and half gave up. I don't blame Blizzard for that. The dailies are entirely optional....go head and don't bother touching them....it will give you plenty of time to raid on that level 90 and then level a bunch of alts.
I'm not being forced to do the dailies, and I can raid just fine too....but without doing the dailies....there isn't much to do on a max level toon. The dailies ended up being such a HUGE part of the max level content this expansion that I end up FEELING like I'm not participating in the content. I no longer FEEL like running Scenarios, Dungeons, or LFR.....I find myself going back to old content or leveling alts....I find myself spending less time in Pandaria than lands from previous expansions. I wasn't even INTERESTED in the new quests added with 5.1....and that's a first for me. I've been excited about this expansion since Blizzcon, I've been excited about each and every new patch for a long time now.....
I know my case is special to me, but it also serves to illustrate something that is a key point those who dislike the dailies are trying to make...........we may not be forced to do the dailies....but we have reasons why we FEEL like we are forced to do them. Without doing them, it is hard to feel a part of the End Game. Not feeling part of the End Game makes one less likely to want to participate in that End Game. Not feeling like participating in the End Game drives us further away from being a part of the End Game on our max level toons. This creates a vicious loop where even leveling alts feels pointless because we know what waits for us at max level.
I know there are lots of logical and reasonable responses to what I said...which is why I'm not actually trying to convince anyone I'm right. I'm just sayin'....this is how it has been for me and some other people I know that are in the same boat as me. It's just my explanation. I know there is actually PLENTY to do at level 90 and that I'm speaking from an entirely personal stand point.
87 Goblin Shaman
Uh, if you weren't a complete idiot you did cap your Conquest the first couple of weeks for upgrades from PvP gear. That's completly not needed anymore if you're an actual "progression-orientated raider"
I hear you but your example of the helm/shoulder enchants stems more from the fact that deficiencies in these areas are easily recognized more than anything else. I dont think most people consider "how many dailies do I have to do so that nobody calls me out on being lazy" as much as people consider "how many dailies do I have to do inorder to be as good as I can be?"
Edited by Poliwag on 11/30/2012 11:16 AM PST
I am 6/6 in MSV and 1 in HoF I tanked all the bosses I had no idea I was wasting my raid groups time.
90 Undead Rogue
Well, I'll just pick one issue.
Your guild doesnt need you to do the enchants
It's way more than just a perception. You can argue about how important the benefit is for players who cap valor each week and doing dailies. The importance of the benefits is arguably subjective. The fact that they receive a benefit, however, is purely objective.
90 Worgen Warlock
I went through a period where I would do Golden Lotus and Klaxxi every day but then I realized that I would be better off getting rep when I was getting close to capping max Valor.
Recently got to Revered Shado-pan and Friendly Celestials.
I should probably finish Celestials for the enchants...
You won't see this as much because now people can upgrade their gear with Valor. So people who don't want to do dailies should be able to cap their valor by doing what they want and be able to do. I hope. Otherwise, I am going to be very bummed that people I thought wanted choice don't really want choice.
Now the only "forced" argument (read my forced is not the definition of forced as in someone is threatening my life and the lives of my family, but the "I have no other choice or option other than this" kind of definition): Golden Lotus. They gate the other two reputations until you are revered. If you do want to be able to do your own enchanting because you are an enchanter (go figure some people really want to make their own gold using their profession they have put gold into and not pay an high amount to someone else) you will need to do them. I'm not complaining about those due to this being a natural occurrence throughout the game, but never has it been gated before. I think this has led to a lot of people feeling "forced" because they have no other recourse but to do one set of dailies to revered in order to even open up the dailies for the factions they really want.
Plus, I'm biased, I really hated Golden Lotus. I found them to be the most boring, most monotonous sets of dailies ever with all the stupid gather quests that made me want to pull my hair out unless it was 2 am and no one was there. They also gave the lowest amount of reputation than any other faction.
Edited by Kaeilthas on 11/30/2012 11:30 AM PST
Blizzard seemed to balance the amount of rep given by particular dailies to the number of dailies available for that faction. So if you do all 13 or w/e golden lotus dailies you get the same amount of rep with them as you would with nat pagle for his 3 fishing quests.
And you likely wont. I don't think anybody would be able to persuade you that enchantments are required. or gems. or reforging. or anything else people do to improve their character's output or survivability
Something being required is a general term. Sure, certain guilds may place hard and fast requirements on their raiders based on past experience. If you just roll by yourself and do what you do, nobody is gonna require you to do anything. besides pay 15 bux a month, that is.
Edited by Poliwag on 11/30/2012 11:33 AM PST
I understand that, but I still hate them and the 110 rep they give as we turn them in just irritated me more due to my irritation to begin with. I hated having to do that many boring monotonous quests. The only reason I'm currently exalted is because I was helping my SO on his priest get them done. Otherwise, it would have sat there at nearly exalted since I got my neck in raid. But this is just me, other dailies I don't mind and did them.
You should try being exalted with tillers and wondering if its worth maxing all the individual friends if you feel that way.
90 Blood Elf Paladin
so many blizzard fanboys trying to defend their daily centric endgame model.
I like the tillers! I get nifty little things from being friends with others :)
I fail to see what this has to do with anything, I also fail to see the "fanboy" argument people present so often.

95 Night Elf Druid
You're not going to be able to maintain a raid spot in a semi-competitive guild without doing dailies. Judging from the OP's current progression his guild isn't really even semi-competitive and that's not a dig or anything just the truth.

Anyone who grew up with Schoolhouse Rock knows that three is a magic number— and this shave cream is no exception: It features a trifecta of protection—macadamia nut oil, glycerin, and soybean oil. The formula, which is free of parabens, fragrances, and petrochemicals, lifts whiskers to give you a close shave while moisturizing and shielding so you end up with smooth, nick-free skin. We're not the only ones who think it's great: Men's Health named the lather Best Shave Cream in 2008.
I have tried many shaving cream and gels over the years, but I always seem to come back to this one! it moisturizes my skin and it allows me to get a close shave without any irritation whatsoever. It also lasts quite a while because you don't need to use that much. A+ product from Jack Black, as usual.5
I have tried several shave creams and lotions over the last few months, and this one is by far the best. You don't need very much per shave, the texture is smooth and rich, and the smell is neutral. Afterwards it leaves the skin smooth with a close shave. I also recommend the Jack Black daily moisturizer and after shave gel. Especially the moisturizer for non-greasy smooth face. Their products are all awesome, really.5
I bought this for my boyfriend for Christmas along with a Jack Black trio kit, and he loves it! The product smells great, not too over powering. I also recommend the cleanser from this brand too. Definitely recommend for the non outgoing guy who doesn't like trying new things. He will love it!5
This may be marketed for men, but it works for everyone. I have been using Supreme Cream for a year now, and I honestly think it gives me a closer shave. My legs always feel super smooth after I shave, and I don't get many ingrown hairs or razor burn anymore. This jar can last a pretty long time depending on how you use it. I used one jar on my legs for almost a year. I'd say it's well worth the money. Also, a little of this cream goes a long way. It's really thick, but when it hits wet skin, it thins out and coats a fairly large surface. The only thing it doesn't do is help your skin retain moisture. I'd still follow with an aftershave or moisturizer.4
I have been using Jack Black products for over a year and I firmly believe they are the best shaving products on the market (New York Shave company, l'occitane, etc. ). I shave about 2-3 times a week and my container of lather has lasted for over a year. Highly recommend trying this product5

Selena died 20 years ago today when she was shot…

Also, Absolut should restrict themselves to "Absolut ..." without a subline.

Cisco Launching Blade Servers in 2009 87
from the please-wear-eye-protection dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
If cisco delivered servers the way it delivers network gear:
You will order your blades and get them 3 months later after harassing your rep over and over until they finally send them via VP signatures via a warehouse.
When people want servers, they want them in days... not months.
This can only end poorly.
I wonder which pre-installed Linux distro they won't give you the source to.
Cisco has been pushing into the Fibre Channel switch market also, and those switches have control processors running Linux on them. They were pushing various software companies to port things like SAN backup applications onto those processors. Ironically they refused to let us consider porting a custom data mover application from our archive software into the switch because we were an end user.
your buddy is nuts unless he was refering to VMWare ESX(i) as the "linux" they will be pushing. Its not really a blade server as much as a whole system packaged together. I know I have sat through the VOD's internally on it
Its a good time to be at Cisco.
Agreed... If i'm not mistaken
the 6500 NAM and NAM2 blades run linux.
and the older Cisco Content Manager caching engines ran linux (I rooted one).
So.... You're right about the compliance part.
To err is human -- to blame it on a computer is even more so.

John Kirwan laments Blues' error count
March 25, 2013
The Blues lost in Sydney to a last-minute penalty goal from Bernard Foley © Getty Images
Blues coach John Kirwan blamed his side's high error count - not Argentine referee Francesco Pastrana - for the 30-27 defeat by New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney.
The men from Auckland ran in three tries to one to lead by 14 points at the break, but they repeatedly coughed up possession and infringed at the ruck in the second stanza. Tries from Israel Folau and Man of the Match Bernard Foley saw the Waratahs draw level before Foley nailed a penalty goal after the siren to snatch victory.
"At half-time we were reasonably happy," Kirwan said. "We felt that we needed to tighten up the ruck area, show a little bit more discipline and hang onto the ball; they were the messages at half-time. And then we went out and pretty much did the opposite.
"We had eight errors in the first half and 10 in the second half, and then I wouldn't like to see the penalty count against us at ruck time. So making 18 errors in a football game and having the penalty count against you is not two things you can do and win at this level.
"We really beat ourselves a wee bit. The Waratahs were really under the pump and played well; they've had a pressured week so they came out and they took their opportunity and fed off what they did. So we've got ourselves to blame and got to get back up for next week."
Blues lock Culum Retallick conceded the final penalty for being offside at the ruck. Asked his opinion on the ruling, Kirwan replied: "I think there are situations where if the half-back has two hands on the ball, it's out. But then you really can't take those risks when you're under the pump and it's 27-all; you've just got to wait for the ref to call out. If you look at that last penalty, you could probably say 'was it a penalty or not?'. But at the end of the day, you can't take those risks when you're under the pump like we were, so it's totally our fault."
The Waratahs defeated the Blues with a much-improved second-half performance%]
Kirwan also refused to blame the 30-degree temperatures for his side's second-half collapse, and he demanded a much-improved effort against defending champions the Chiefs in Mount Maunganui on Saturday.
"It's been like this all summer so these guys have been charging around in this and there's no excuses coming from us," he said.
"Eighteen errors; I think individually we're all going to have to have a look at ourselves because if we're going to do that again next week [against the Chiefs] then you'll be kissing any chance of the top six goodbye. So we've just got to get out and play our game because when we put it together we looked pretty good."

Looping pedals are great for rehearsing alone, working out solos over your rhythm parts and even composing. Onstage, they can make you a show-stopping one-man band, building complex loops that can impress your fans. But loopers can be fidgety to use, and the more features they pack in, the more difficult they are to use intuitively and on the fly.
Fender's Select Series guitars are designed for players who want instruments with more upscale materials and features than Fender's standard instruments but still retain that distinctive Fender vibe.

The inspiration for the title of Brad Paisley's latest album, Wheelhouse, came from the phrase "in your wheelhouse," which is a reference to the baseball term for the strike zone's sweet spot, where a batter can comfortably hit a ball with maximum power and precision.

Tribune Is Renamed ZellCoMediaEnterprises, But for Today Only
Tribune Co.'s new chairman and chief executive, Sam Zell, may be facing falling ad revenues, a heavy debt load and the ire of many journalists in his empire. But his irreverent sense of humor is intact. Today, April Fool's Day, the company issued a mock press release declaring that it would rename itself ZellCoMediaEnterprises Inc.
"H---, I put $315 million into this thing, and we're on the hook for $13 billion—the least I ought to get is my name on the company's stationery," said Mr. Zell in the statement. The company said the news was announced by Mr. Zell in his "record-setting 437th email to exhausted employees." (Read the full press release.)
The Chicago real estate magnate invested in the company as part of its $8.2 billion leveraged buyout in December.
A company spokesman, Gary Weitman, says he wrote the press release, but declined to comment on how many others were involved in crafting the jokes, which include a $600 million deal to rename rights to Chicago's Tribune Tower, and to print its newspapers using edible ink on a "newly designed licorice printing system." Mr. Weitman is identified on the release as "VP/Propaganda and Disinformation."
As part of the joke, Tribune's corporate Web site, www.tribune.com, has been temporarily replaced with a version including a running "DEBToMETER," a "TipJar" labeled "Hey buddy, help a paper out?" and a rotating sequence of dog photographs—a wink, perhaps, at a controversy Mr. Zell stoked by uttering an obscenity at a staffer who suggested that the push for profit would replace serious journalism with puppy photos.
Tribune lately has issued more serious declarations about its situation, including a statement in a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that the pressure to pay its debts has led it to consider "dispositions of certain assets or businesses."

Posted by Kevin Bondelli as Books, Reading Women Writers
This is the fifth post in the Reading Women Writers series.
I finished Meg Wolitzer's The Interestings weeks ago, yet I found it difficult to write about until now for a couple of reasons. First, it is a very recent novel, and I don't want to spoil it with an in-depth writing. Second, I had an unexpected reaction to it. It is well-written, the characters are developed, it feels real. These qualities make it an excellent book. Both bildungsroman and social commentary, there is an underlying darkness that at times bleeds to the surface. Being 30 in America today, the novel struck me in a way I did not expect it would when I began reading.
In the summer of 1974, 15-year-old Julie Jacobson was sent to the Spirit-of-the-Woods camp in New York, a place where precocious, artistic teens spent their vacations. Here she joins a group of campers, self-named The Interestings, who for the most part become life-long friends, and is in a sense reborn as "Jules." The novel follows Jules and the rest of The Interestings into adulthood in the 21st century.
In the novel, as is the case most often in real life, growing up means the loss of possibilities. The idealistic aphorism about one door opening as another closes is an overstatement. At 30, nearly everyone has a fraction of the possibilities for their lives that they did at 15, or even 20. Once you reach your teenage years, each coming year brings more doors to a close. They may be doors that you never would have considered, but they are closed nonetheless.
The other aspect of growing up portrayed in the novel is relegation. For many, becoming an adult means relegating yourself to a life that isn't close to what you imagined or hoped it would be. This is especially painful for those, who like The Interestings, were celebrated in their youth for being talented or brilliant. It is the burden of having potential and the expectations that are associated with it. One can become a slave to those expectations, and this can make even a comfortable life seem an abject failure.
This feeling, that for all but a few life will never seem as good as it was in your youth, is extremely potent at the milestone age of 30. It is an age where one feels like one foot is still planted in youth and the other in the adult world of unrealized potential and relegation. One is close enough to see the closed doors of past possibilities all too clearly.
Wolitzer also looks at friendship and love, envy, mental illness, sexual assault, AIDS, identity and belonging, and exploitation. Her characters react to the challenges of their lives and the changing world believably, facing things that many readers will have faced in their own lives. To me it seems that The Interestings is one of those novels, like Catcher in the Rye, that elicits a different reaction depending on the age and station of life of the reader.
