Selfishness vs. Narcissism
I had a friend suggest this so I'm doing it because we're DESPERATE!
My son and I are being evicted thanks to a crappy roommate not paying his rent or share of the bills and I'm trying to get the heck out of Tampa and back home to Seattle. I lost my job in late October and Jason didn't work for 2 weeks in November and then again for two weeks in December due to the holidays so we just fell into that "one month away from homelessness" category that many Americans are in. Well, we're here and facing homelessness.
I've set up a GoFundMe page so if those of you who have found this site helpful could maybe consider helping us I would be incredibly grateful! This information was freely given and will always remain so. However, we're really stuck so I'm just reaching out to anyone remotely connected to our world (even the kindness of strangers) who would consider helping us not end up homeless!
Thank you for reading this post. I have no pride left, only desperation…things turned bad so quickly my head is spinning and I'm walking in circles so if you can help, PLEASE do! Also, if you could pray and/or put us on any prayer chains or lists you know, that would be awesome too.
The GoFundMe link is here: https://www.gofundme.com/janetbyers
I'm working through it with my son right now. We're trying to help each other notice when we're acting in "old ways" and exhibiting narcissistic behavior (as opposed to just being thoughtless or selfish.)
It's tricky but we're starting to recognize patterns and, when Jason and I are talking and analyzing our own behavior (as well as discussing and trying to identify the behavior of others) we have discovered that there IS a big difference between "general" selfish behavior and narcissistic behavior.
Here's what I've learned: ALL narcissists are selfish; not all selfish people are narcissists.
Selfishness or thoughtlessness (or just plain old trying to win or be in control) will cause the person doing it consternation when you bust them on it. They'll apologize (usually) and, more importantly, they can stop (they might NOT stop, but they can.) They will accept responsibility or at least acknowledge the behavior.
Now mind you, this is when it's talked about RATIONALLY…acknowledgement, acceptance of responsibility, change in behavior and/or stopping will certainly not happen in the middle of a screaming match!
The narcissist will NEVER:
1) Acknowledge the behavior, let alone take responsibility for it.
2) Will somehow blame you and claim either that you MADE them do it, or that you yourself are actually the one acting selfish. Regardless, they will deny and blame.
3) The won't stop. Not ever. Never, EVER. There is ONE more (presented further down this page) and to me, it's the BIGGEST clue that I'm dealing with someone who has narcissistic personality disorder. It's called "gaslighting."
People can be selfish…just watch any group of 2 year olds playing and you'll see it within seconds: "Mine, mine, mine!" "I had it first!" "NO! Won't share!" "Mine, mine, MINE!!!"
I've said for years that EVERYONE wants the red carpet rolled out for them and all traffic lights to be green. We ALL shout "mine, mine, MINE!" We will try to get things our own way…why wouldn't we? Life seems easier when everything is going my way, right?
Not always and healthy, mentally sound people KNOW this (even when we want to act like a spoiled 2 year old.) We understand mistakes, personal responsibility, miscommunication and fairness. We KNOW the world doesn't work that way.
If we're Christian, we KNOW God says not to act selfishly and to apologize. Heck, that's true even if you're not Christian…otherwise, you'll have bad relationships, guilt and end up with fewer friends.
We even have to forgive OTHERS who act like that (even if they DON'T say they're sorry) 'cuz forgiveness is something we've freely received so must freely give…probably one of the hardest things about being a Christian for some…and my own hand is waving in the air at that one!
Okay, back to recognizing selfish vs. narcissistic. The biggest clue for me that someone is a narcissist is that they will gaslight you when you try to bust them on their behavior.
Gaslighting is waaay above denial and blame, it's an attempt at literal brainwashing and is the ONE way you can tell a narc trying to get into your head and control you!
"A common form of brainwashing in which an abuser tries to falsely convince the victim that the victim is defective, for any purpose whatsoever, such as making the victim more pliable and easily controlled, or making the victim more emotional and therefore more needy and dependent." (Source: http://jebrown.us/Relationshop/Definitions/gaslighting.html)
My last relationship with a man named David ended in 2004 and I've stayed alone since then because I'm not EVER again:
1) Running ahead, or outside of, God's will for me in relationships again.
2) Dealing with a narcissist, workaholic, an alcoholic who had not gone through some kind of recovery process or any kind of personality disorder…and I've been groomed to be attracted to those kind of people (and I know my skill sets aren't quite "there" yet regarding spotting them right away so my best bet is to stay away.)
3) I'd rather stay alone than be in a bad relationship so I'd rather not be involved than be badly involved (which really points back to number 1 on my list…if it ain't God, I ain't doing it!)
BUT, I wasn't quite over David and went to visit him in Tucson in January of 2011. He did some hurtful, selfish things and I reacted right on the spot. He denied that it had happened and then tried to blame me. But he APPEARED to apologize and take responsibility.
After I returned, he did a couple more things that were REALLY selfish and hurtful and I tried to communicate them to him. I kept telling my girlfriend (who recognized his narcissism) that he was NOT a narc but simply selfish. She disagreed.
But then he gaslighted me, not once but twice AND then he took back the "so called" responsibility for the things he'd done while I was in Tucson. He tried telling me I was just "being oversensitive" and making too big of a deal of everything. Then he said, "you know, not everything is about you."
ALL the lights went on and the alarms sounded in my head. This is a typical gaslighting statement…your efforts to be heard, to be respected and to be understood are undermined and belittled.
What he'd done was constantly interrupt and try to control a BUSINESS meeting I had with clients. He was not involved, I'd tried to get him to not attend the meeting because he was tired, knew nothing about it nor did he care. But when HE thought I hadn't answered one of their questions (which I did to the client's satisfaction…which he couldn't tell because he didn't have the 10 year relationship with them that I had) he got rude.
I was absolutely furious with him afterward and that's what I tried to talk to him about. He denied, then he blamed me, then he told me I had acted badly to my clients and finally, he told me I was making too big of a deal out of it. I persisted and that's when he pretended to apologize. But it wasn't a real apology, it was simply to shut me up.
THIS is what he re-attacked me with over the phone when I got back to Nashville. This is the "situation" he took back and said, "you know, everything isn't about you." Ummm, it was my business meeting and was worth $1000 to me so I begged to differ. But I knew, after words like these and others, that I was dealing with a narc. Melanie had been right.
I remember just sitting there on the phone, staring at the wall…knowing I had no reason to continue in the same pattern I'd walked away from 7 years before…knew that nothing had changed and never would because he IS a narcissist. I cut off communication with him and finally got that last little bit of "leftover love" to go away.
I have writing from back in 2004 that makes sense to me NOW that I realize he's a narcissist but he was a pretty good guy in so many ways (and back then, being badly treated by a narc was so deeply ingrained in me that I never even noticed some of his behavior.)
So hope this helps you recognize "normal" selfish behavior in the people in your life (vs. the completely toxic narcissistic behavior in those who abuse you) as you walk your personal path to recovery and healing!

Thank you for writing this. I am trying to figure out myself what am i to do with my boyfriend David who seems to come across as a narc. He does seem good all around and it's amazing that it took me so long to see it. But he has told me many time that, "I am always right." "If i don't feel that i am wrong, then i won't apologize." I cannot believe it. I cannot believe because i have never felt these things ever cross my mind even before i was saved. But even today, for the things he wouldn't hear me out on, he apologized for and started to take it out on me, but then said, no i am going to leave it at that. I've told him goodbye in the past few days 2x. For some reason, he came running back to me, but before i quit answering my phone and pounded on my door threatening me, he called me mean names and things that don't even make up me. Amazing. I am trying to not talk much to him because i am figuring out how to make him just let me go. I tell him i am done and he just shows up. He says we will be ok and we will work it. I don't think so. I am depressed, i cannot lose weight, i am stressed, i am anxious around him and feel like i am walking on egg shells. I cannot ask questions without me nosey, or female emotional, or blah blah blah. He told me 2 nights ago, when he refused to leave my house, to call the cops. So, as a good women, i obeyed him and picked up my phone (though i wouldn't call for real) and then he instantaneously says, "see, i told you you were a typical simple woman just like the rest of the world." He tries to use the bible against me even though he doesn't read it. It's horrible. I was starting to think i was crazy. But it's not me. I also realize that the nicer i got and more respectful i got, he got meaner. So, now when i put boundaries on things and hang up on him, he is running back to me, but not always in a good manner either. He can be threatening me saying that if things escalate it's my fault. Ok. I didn't do anything. But from reading your articles, i do realize that i cannot react to him anymore. I do realize he likes when i do. He feeds off of them and uses them against me. And i know, that i am done with him. I am going to leave him, but i know i have to wait til he calms down and then tell him how right he was about me and then maybe he will leave me alone. I keep telling him i am done now and he keeps saying we will be ok. HUH? It will get accomplished. Thank you for your articles.

Vegan Brownies
1/4 cup canola oil
1/3 cup water
1 cup organic sugar
1 cup organic unbleached flour
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix wet ingredients in large bowl, then dump in all the dry. Don't over mix.
2. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
They're supposed to look gooey! You can even add your favorite vegan chocolate chips, add coconut, or nuts!
These are so good and normal tasting my meat-eating family couldn't tell the difference!!!
I made these for the men my husband my husband works with and they came out really fudge-like instead of brownie-esque.
I followed everything to an exact 'T' except I used "milled flax seed" instead of "ground flax seed". Could that be the reason my brownies didn't come out quite right?
This recipe made me and my family very very happy, and feeling very full of chocolatey goodness - mmmm -thank you ^-^ five stars from me, and no issues with batter consistancy (I did use egg replacer version though)
These are SINFULLY good! I do not know how I am going to resist eating the whole pan.
:howdy: hoopyd!!
These are SINFULLY good! I do not know how I am going to resist eating the whole pan.
I have read the reviews and am very exited about these brownies being chewy! I have them in the oven right now. I followed the recipe except that I used enerG egg replacer instead of flax. I also dissolved my sugar before adding the rest of the dry ingredients and my batter was perfect. I'm not sure how the final product will be but the batter was good! My daughter and I both loved it.
Schmoopy ~ you can try lightly dusting flour on the pan after you oil it.
When I made these the batter did come out a little thick so I added a splash of chocolate soy milk per one of the previous reviewers suggestions. I also added vegan chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. They didn't stick to the pan, but they were more cakey than I would have liked. I think next time I will use all soy milk and no water and bake a little less than the suggested time -- could just be my oven causing the difference. They did have a crispy top and looked great!
Hands down, the BEST brownies I've ever had, vegan or otherwise. I had the same batter consistency issue though, like super oily cookie dough. I think I'm gonna cut down on the oil next time, and maybe add a bit of chocolate soy milk? Idk, I'll play w/ it next time. Oh, side note... these were WAY better straight out of the fridge cold.
man those brownies are amazing. i suggest adding vegan chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. and i froze them best brownies i ever had! but not too healthy
I don't know what I did the first time I made these, but it was not good.. I had cakey (yuck!) brownies that were not sweet enough... i think i may have added too much flax, because i was not careful with measuring... anyway, i made them again tonight, taking care to add only 1TBSP, and i also added in a bunch of chocolate chips. they are so gooey, yet crispy flakey on the outside as others have mentioned. PERFECT!
I just made these and I had the thick batter issue too. I had to add a little extra water and bake them an extra 10 mins (my oven sucks). However, the brownies are super wonderful. :)>>>
Next time I make them I'll blend the sugar with the water and oil until the sugar's dissolved. I think that would make the batter easier to work with.
I think this is going to be my regular brownie recipe. ;)b I love how it's so simple. I added chocolate chips this time...next time I'll try it with nuts.

Dear Friends and fellow Kirkland Alumni,
Kirkland College alumnae have taken an increasingly active role at Hamilton over the past five years. We now hold 14 seats on its Alumni Council – not as typical Class Presidents, but as representatives-at-large of the entire Kirkland community. We are, as always, a unique cohort with a special relationship to an historic institution.
I'm writing, both as an AC member and new chair of the Committee for Kirkland College, to share our news and encourage you to remain in touch, or to re-connect if we haven't heard from you. You can easily do that by visiting our website or by visiting the Hill, where we often hold events. New participants on the Committee or the Council are most welcome!
Every week we hear from another Kirkland graduate. Some are beginning new careers, some have relocated to be closer to family, some are facing empty nests, and others are sending their offspring to campuses – including Hamilton's – for the first time. We want to share as much news as we can, both via the online Kirkland Matters and through your direct comments and recollections at the Kirkland Interactive Archive.
At the recent Fallcoming weekend Jo Pitkin, K'78 and Nin Andrews '80 read their poetry to a rapt audience of that included Professors William Rosenfeld, Jay Williams and the inimitable Patsy Couper. Susan Hartman '74 brought Lori Grinker, a renowned photojournalist, to talk with students and alumnae at a thought-provoking luncheon, where new mentoring relationships were fostered. We heard stories from newly-minted Kirkland Scholars like Galia Slayen H'13, who spent her summer interning at the Dept. of Agriculture with Christy Vilsack's husband Tom (both class of '72).
We're also making plans for Hamilton's bicentennial, the Charter Class 40th reunion, and another All-Kirkland Reunion. And the new history of Hamilton, which will be published this spring includes a riveting chapter on the Kirkland decade. Author Maurice Isserman, Prof. of American Studies, will embark upon a 25-city book tour starting in April, 2011. I encourage you to attend a session – regional events are a great way to make new contacts and renew old ones.
Lastly – and most importantly, perhaps – Hamilton just admitted the first class under its new need-blind admissions policy. This is a bold move in a period of economic uncertainty. It increases access to learning and opportunity and ensures a more richly diverse student body, regardless of a student's ability to pay. This makes me very proud to be associated with the College, and I hope you will be too.
Warm regards,
Jennie Morris K'72

Just as with our vertical menu, the choices that you make for the visual style of the menu are what really sets it apart and makes it unique. You're free to use colors, gradients, images, icons, font formatting, and all sorts of custom styling to get your menus to look exactly the way that you want them to. We're going to get our menu closer to the desired styling by controlling the visual formatting for multiple elements. So in this exercise, I want you to pay close attention to how the styling of several elements is going to combine to create the final menu.
Here I have the horizontal.htm open from the 04_05 directory. I'm going to scroll down until I get to my list styling here. So we're just picking up right where we left off before. Now the first thing I want to do, I'm going to sort of revisit that nav selector that we created earlier. If you remember from looking at the finished version of the horizontal menu at the beginning of this chapter, it has a two-toned bar, a sort of a lighter orange color, and a darker brown color underneath that.
So to start that, use the nav element. Remember, that's the very top parent element for our menu. So I'm just going to go to nav, and inside this selector, I'm going to set a background color, and I want the background to be #916A31, and that's a sort of darker orange color, if you will. I'm going to go ahead and save that. And if I preview this in a browser, the nav element is stretching the entire length of its parent element, which in this case is the body tag.
And I want to point out something about the height of this. You notice that we did not specify a height on the nav, so the nav's height currently is being controlled by its contents, which in this case is the line-height on each of the link items. The default styling here of the blue text and the underline, that's probably not going to cut it for this menu. So let's go back into our styles here for the list item a selector, the one targeting links inside the list items. I'm going to go inside that and change the color to white for the text.
For text decoration, I'm just going to go ahead and remove that underline by typing none. So I'm going to save that, go back into the browser and refresh that, and that looks a lot better. So now we have white text, no underline, and remember, anytime you're going to remove the underline-- which is very common in menus--most people will remove the underline in menus. You have to give some other visual indication that it's a link. Being part of a menu structure is a very strong visual indication in this part of the link, and of course we are also going to have some rollovers that's going to help with that as well.
You may have remembered from earlier that we have that sort of two-toned look to this horizontal menu bar. So we had the lighter orange that was the much wider part of the bar, and then that darker orange color you're seeing currently into the nav is being a very smaller portion of it. So how is that effect achieved? Well, we could have used a border, we could have given the nav element the brighter orange color and then used a border on the bottom of it. Of course, there is always more than one way to achieve an effect, and sometimes you have to choose a method based on what else you have going on within that particular element, in this case the menu.
So let me kind of show you how we're going to be building this. I'm going to take the ui, li group selector, and I'm going to create another selector just below that. I like keeping things kind of in the order that they appear. So I'm going to type in a ul, I'm just targeting the unordered list now. I'm isolating it as apart from the styling here. And I'm going to give it a background color, the same way I did the nav element. Now this is going to be that brighter orange color so that's #D5973C, and we've used that color so much in this course.
And I'm sure some of you guys already have that memorized. We're going to do something a little different here. I'm going to go ahead and define a height for this unordered list. So I'm going to use 2 ems. You may have noticed that that's exactly the same as the line-height. So you are probably saying to yourself, well, isn't that kind of redundant? For right now it is, but keep that in the back of your mind that there is a reason that we're doing that. And then I'm also going to go ahead and set the width of that to 100%. Now why am I doing that? Remember when I told you earlier that floated elements tend to sort of shrink wrap to their content? A normal block-level element would expand to fit its parent container.
But for floated elements, unless you define a width for that element, it tends to vary based on where it is found. So I'm going to go ahead and define a width of 100% on that. I'm going to save that, go back into my browser, refresh the page. The bar there changes color from that sort of darker brown orange to the brighter orange. Now what's happening here? Well, these elements are nested, so the nav element is the parent element, the unordered list is inside of that, list items are inside of that and then finally the links are inside of that.
The way that that's painted on the screen is the parent element is painted first. So if you will, the nav element's behind the unordered list, and since they're both the same size right now, 2 ems, they're laying right one on top of each other, but we're going to change that. Let's go back into our code, and I want to go back up to the nav element, and I'm going to add another property to that, and I'm going to add height to it, and I'm going to give it a height of 2.3 ems. So, as you can see, that is 0.3 ems taller than the unordered list.
Essentially, what we're doing is we are defining heights for both of these guys so that a little bit of the nav element will be showing through or underneath the unordered list, because it will be just a little bit taller. So in essence, this time we're using a line height, not so much to define the overall height of this particular menu bar, but to center the text within a certain area or region. So I'm going to save this, go back into my browser, and refresh that, and there you go, that's exactly what we're looking for. We've got that two-toned bar now, we have got a little bit of that brown sticking out underneath it, and we have the orange on top of it.
I know there's some of you out there right now that are saying, well, why didn't you just go ahead and use a border for the bottom of that in that brown bar, wouldn't have that been a little easier? It probably would have been easier, but one of the things I wanted to show you guys was that you can use all of these different elements as styling hooks. You have this nav element or div, if you're going to put a parent element on your menus, you have that element. It's available for you to style. You also have the unordered list, you also have the individual list items and the links, and in sort of layering these, you can create some really complex structures to your menus.
You could combine gradients, you could combine images and icons with backgrounds. You can have certain backgrounds that are a little bit see-through when others that aren't so. You can do some really powerful things, and I wanted to demonstrate that. Plus, we're going to be doing some rollovers in a moment. They are going to take advantage of the fact that the unordered list is a little shorter than the actual nav element itself. Well, that has got us almost finished, believe it or not. The majority of our menu styling is complete. All that is left for us to do is to create the rollovers, then after that we're going to tackle an optional technique of indicating the current page for menu.
- Organizing menus with lists
- Creating block-level links
- Styling links, link states, and image links
- Defining link dimensions
- Controlling link spacing in a menu
- Creating rollovers
- Clearing floats
- Indicating current pages
- Controlling cursor states
- Building dropdown menus
- Creating CSS-only buttons

Labor leaders to focus on 2012 election
As might be expected in a presidential election year, politics will take center stage when the AFL-CIO Executive Council meets.
AFL-CIO: Republicans voted almost 100% wrong on labor issues
The party cleavage was stark in the GOP-run House last year on key votes. Unions use the AFL-CIO figures as part of their evaluations when deciding, locally, whether to support or oppose an incumbent lawmaker.
Communications workers endorse Obama
CWA's statement praised Obama but also took hard shots at the current GOP leader, former Massachusetts Governor and Bain Capital CEO Mitt Romney.

Buying first bindings
Hi, after some research I narrowed down the options to 2 bindings. I will ride normal slopes and do some easy tricks so probably an allmountain binding with midflex would be best for me.
K2 Formula 2011
Burton Custom 2011
I have a Ride agenda snowboard so the question is also if the burton binding will fit. Which of those 2 is a better option?
Thank you!
I'm guessing your budget is under $200? Out of the two you have listed, the formulas are the better bindings IMO.
If your budget is higher:
Rome 390 Boss Snowboard Bindings 2011
Ride Delta MVMNT Snowboard Bindings 2011
I favor the Romes :)
Jup under $200 :) Its my first set so I dont think I will feel the difference that much.
Ok lets say I would buy the K2 formulas, is there something really good and worth to buy the 2011 for, instead of 2010?
The highbacks have been completely redesigned. They are a little taller and supposedly form fitting (I'm sure different boots will fit differently on it). I actually love the highback, it's comfy. However, depending on the price difference, you can totally do the 2010 instead. I mean if it's a matter of $20, I'd go with the 2011 for the added comfort.

COLUMBIA This is a preseason largely lacking drama at South Carolina.
Yes, there is a grand level of anticipation for the season itself, as the Gamecocks are ninth in the coaches poll, their best preseason ranking ever. But their depth chart is almost entirely set. And with quarterback Stephen Garcia long gone and far away on the bench with the Canadian Football Leagues Montreal Alouettes, there is no soap opera vibe about this team.
Clearly, some of the remaining position competitions right tackle, place-kicker and punter are important, despite rarely dominating water cooler conversation. Yet, as you scan the Gamecocks depth chart with less than three weeks until the Aug. 30 opener at Vanderbilt, one position group stands out as a glaring question mark, both because of whom USC lost and who it welcomes.
In three seasons at USC, Alshon Jeffery became perhaps the greatest receiver in school history. He holds season records for catches, yards and 100-yard games. He holds career records for yards and 100-yard games, is tied for first in touchdowns and ranks second in catches. In short, he is not easily imitated, not now and perhaps not ever at USC.
As the Gamecocks begin life without Jeffery and try to re-establish their passing game, they have exactly one game-tested receiver junior Tracy Sanders, whose more widely known nickname, Ace, has already earned him first-name-only status among USCs fans, like Jeffery had.
Sanders 29 catches, 383 yards and two touchdowns still paled compared to Jefferys 49 catches, 762 yards and eight touchdowns. While Jeffery is 6-4, broad-shouldered and skilled at yanking down jump balls. Sanders is 5-8 and much faster. Speed is such a valuable part of his game that he was USCs punt returner last season, a role he figures to reprise this fall.
Sanders has already made cornerbacks Akeem Auguste and Ahmad Christian look foolish this preseason, zipping past both on the first day of practice. Quarterback Connor Shaw figures to be a more comfortable passer in his first full season as the starter, because during spring practices, he emphasized staying in the pocket longer and keeping his eyes downfield. But if the Gamecocks are to return to a more typical Steve Spurrier offense, other receiving threats probably need to emerge. One reason Jeffery caught 39 fewer passes last season than in 2010 is opponents often focused their coverage on his side of the field, daring the Gamecocks to beat them elsewhere.
USC has the capability of doing that with its running game, which could result in more defenders near the line of scrimmage and one-on-one coverage for receivers. The return of tailback Marcus Lattimore, coupled with Shaws quickness, makes USC one of the Southeastern Conferences biggest running threats. Whether that means USC runs 63 percent of the time again, as it did last season, depends on finding dependable receivers other than Sanders.
The most experienced options are sophomores Damiere Byrd and Bruce Ellington, junior DeAngelo Smith and senior D.L. Moore, whose career catches are 1, 17, 4 and 32, respectively. Byrd and Ellington, who are 5-9, possess prodigious speed. Smith and Moore are bigger targets, 6-1 and 6-5.
Byrd is playing the inside slot receiver position, while Sanders is at outside receiver, Jefferys old spot. Sanders smaller physique as an outside receiver does not concern his position coach, Steve Spurrier Jr., because he should thrive in space outside.
(The inside receiver) has got to be a better blocker, Spurrier Jr. said. And the outside guy gets a little bit more freedom on where hes going and route running. Thats another good reason for Ace to have a little bit more flexibility on the outside.
Spurrier Jr. is also evaluating three true freshmen: 6-1 Shaq Roland, 6-4 Kwinton Smith and 5-11 Jody Fuller. Playing time is available, and Spurrier the elder has already said Roland is likely to get some. He was Mr. Football in the state of South Carolina last season.
So far this preseason, he has done his best to keep up, sometimes relying on his natural leaping ability.
In high school, I could really just run by people, Roland said. Ive really got to focus on route running. The main guy I watch is Ace. His route running is incredible. Ive never seen a receiver getting out of his cuts like that.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 187 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mjt8604 Runs small in the legs These pants ran too small in the legs and knee area. I have a pair in short length that fit great, but are just slightly too short. These were about 3-4 inches too long so the seam around the knee didn't lay right. The fabric was also itchy on these and that did not resolve after 1 washing. September 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Geli Best Pants Ever I got my first pair as a size 6 and they were a little big but they were really comfortable. The draw string waist helps with adjusting size. I wear them to work all the time. I wore them so much, I bought a size 4 pair as well. I love the comfort and stretch of the material and how they are water resistant. I'm 5'2" so they're a little long on me but I love them anyway. Best pair of pants. September 22, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Walksalot I am back to buy more! These are amazing! So comfortable! I have worn them twice so far, first running errands around town an then out on a trail walk. Very versatile and incredibly comfy without looking like workout wear. Definitely going to buy more! September 20, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tabi77 I LOVE these! I am 5'3",125lbs I got a size 2 regular length which fit perfectly. These are the most comfortable pants I have ever owned. I wear them casually as well as for work. They are soft, stretchy, and waterproof which are all absolutely amazing! I ordered another pair today! September 17, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by LKinAK LOVE LOVE LOVE! I bought these for a 3 day thru hike because I wanted a comfortable pair of hiking pants. These fit the bill. I love the fit, which is very flattering. Fit true to size, which is more than I can say for other outdoor companies. The pants don't fit snug and have a nice stretch to them. I love them so much I am buying more! I also wear them to work and find them to be as comfortable as my scrubs. I am 5'7 and they do run a bit long on me. I got the regular. September 17, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by katsudolady Great,Comfy These pants are very comfortable, they move with me. True to size. I have a 27' inseam so I ordered the short not regular, fits perfectly. September 14, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Villac Women's Anytime Outdoor™ Boot Cut Pant My wife loves these pants. She almost has ever color available. True to size and high quality product. September 14, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Comfort Disappointed I was looking for a good comfortable hiking and causual pant. I am more of a pear shape and usually go for a boot cut fit. The placement of the front pockets are not very flattering and the fabric is alittle scratchy and does not seem to be of great quality. I have only washed them once, but I can see these, per other reviews, pilling really quickly. Perhaps that is why they are on sale? Most companies offer a return label and resealable package but Columbia does not! Perhaps this is to make returns inconvenient? Disappointed. September 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hides Comfy and Long Lasting I estimate I wore this pant 90 times before replacing it. Over time I have added 4 more to give the original pair a break. I wear it everywhere, hiking, to work, active weekends. It's comfy, shapely, and it holds its color and shape. It can be protective and cool in the summer and warm in the spring and fall. September 9, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Blossom10 Love these pants!!! Love these pants! Fits well. Very comfy! Dressed up or casual......ordering more. September 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Beth94 Functional Yoga Pants These pants are awesome! I ca wear them in the office, while giving cave tours, on road trips, or just out and about. They are so comfortable and functional. August 8, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5 by Female Runs Short Comparing to other Columbia pants, this pair runs short August 4, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Missy907 Great pants! Nice lightweight pants that could be worn for activities outdoors but also in the office. My first time wearing them was for a 4 hour flight. Very comfortable fit and fabric felt good while cooped up on a plane. Looked nice too. Will be buying more colors! July 13, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mint So comfortable! I ordered a black pair, size 6 short. The length is perfect. For reference, I am 5'3", 128 lbs. I loved these so much, I ordered another pair in black, as well. They are so thin and they have some stretch. You can dress them up or down. I just wish they weren't so expensive, I would buy more. These are going to be my favorite travel pants, they will be so easy to pack. July 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ruthanne Perfect for work and outdoors Love, love, love these pants! Bought them for work, but I also fish and wearing these while fishing keeps me dry I don't have to worry about being to close to the water while its rough. The water just beads off and I don't get soaked, it's amazing. Also perfect for work they look professional, and fit perfect. Definitely recommending your brand to friends. July 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Msank2 Great slacks! Absolutely the most comfortable slacks I've ever owned! June 24, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimberly97 Favorite for summer and travel Wore these camping and travelling. Feel great and look great. Wrinkles shake right out. Moves with me, never restricting. Dries FAST! I have 4 pairs now in every color. I rarely wear shorts and these are perfect for summer unpredictable weather when it's on the cool side and in the heat. Great for camping as I can wash out and they dry quick. June 23, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tere1204 Light-weight! perfect for traveling! Perfect for traveling. It is light-weight and very comfortable. the material is perfect can repel light rain. June 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Josa Josa Best pair of pants I have EVER found anywhere, hands-down. I'm a competitive weightlifter, so I have very muscular thighs with a small waist. My waist is a size 2 and my hips are a size 8. This big size discrepancy makes finding pants that fit a total NIGHTMARE. The stretchy material that these pants are made with fit me perfectly without making me feel confined like jeans do. Also, because the pants feature a drawstring, it easily accommodates my waist, which is a much smaller size them my hips. The material keeps its shape and doesn't stretch out, which is another plus. They are easily packable, you don't need to iron them, and they repel water easily. Although the pants are advertised as trail pants, they can be easily dressed up or down. Once I realized how well they worked for me, I bought a pair in every color and I regularly wear them to work (and my office has a pretty strict dress code). One thing to keep in mind, though, is that these pants are very thin - i.e., they're really for warm weather or temps above 50 degrees. They're too thin to wear in cold climates, or during the winter. But on the flip side, you could wear these pants in 120-degree weather and not get hot at all because the fabric lets your skin breathe. Perfect for wearing out in the desert or for doing touristy things during the summer months. Also, when I say the pants are "thin" I don't mean they are see-through or cheap. Ladies, you don't have to worry that your panties will show through, because they won't - I already checked :) Overall, a fantastic pair of pants that you won't beat at North Face, Patagonia, or other comparable brands - especially if you get these pants on sale as I did. Purchase them - you won't regret it! June 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Iwona My favorites! Love these pants!! Great fit, feel, function. I bought a first pair for hiking. Loved it. Now I have bought another for everyday use. My friend seeing me wearing them bought 2 pairs. :)) June 10, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by embzok awesome Love the four way stretch and the detail on the leg. They fi true to size and are just right for anytime. Can use for cycling, hiking or dress up for an evening affair. June 8, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by pjp4life love these pants I got these to hike in Alaska. They were wonderful, now I even wear them to work - just wish they came in Tall, could use them an inch longer. June 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jr55 Great pants I already had a pair of black ones & loved them so much, I bought two more pairs in other colors! They're great for traveling - light weight & wash very easily. June 2, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Christinewel Love these pants! I love these pants and practically live in them. I hike in them, play in them, work in them, and wear them to go out or to events. The fit is great and they are super comfortable and flexible. I ordered 3 pairs in various colors back when and when those wore out I ordered more. My favorite pant! May 28, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by AJ94 Great travel pant These pants are perfect for any traveling. They can be dressed up or dressed down. Very comfortable. They do stretch a little with time. May 27, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by FaithVB Great pants!! I work in the automotive industry in the service department. These pants are so versatile, look great with our uniform OR with more 'dressy' work tops. They are great in the HOT, HUMID summers that we have here in Georgia, they keep you cool and dry. Even when it rains, they dry extremely quick if you get soaked. They are a bit stretchy and allow full movement. These are THE most comfortable pants that I own! if you need a versatile pair of pants, these are it. they are great for golfing, errands, work (in a casual environment) etc. May 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by tracy66 Most comfortable pants ever! I have 2 pairs of these pants and absolutely love them. They are so comfortable and wear well. May 26, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by MoeJHud Cute Pants - not only for hiking! Love them!! very cute - wonderful fit - I must say -- I will be wearing them all over town! May 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sheamia Best Pants For Multiple Functions! I purchased these for hiking and my upcoming trip to Alaska. I wore them to Yosemite and they were extremely comfortable. So comfortable that I now wear them to work in a proffesional office setting! You can't tell they are hiking pants except for the logo at the top of the pants, which is generally concealed with tops. I am 5'3, 130 lbs and the size 6 regular fit perfectly! May 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mann11 My number one pants These pants are just fantastic. They are so comfortable. They feel light on the body. I got the black one size 10 and they make me feel slim. I wish Columbia would make more colours. I don't like the blue, I wish the blue would be darker. I will order another pair for sure because from all my pants, I always go back to my Columbia one. May 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amanda111179 I love these pants I bought one in every color and for every day of the week. I teach little children and these pants are wonderful for getting on the floor, they stretch, they don't pull down in the back when I am sitting on the floor. They are so comfortable and look amazing. I get compliments on them often. I am glad they are on sale right now! May 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tara1212 Fit very well 5'4 140 lbs and a size 6 fit perfectly. Highly recommend the black. Very flatttering. April 18, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tiff33 Perfect pant for outdoor activity These pants are perfect for outdoor activity. They're light weight and easy to wear. I bought them to go boating b/c I get chilly and they're perfect as a wind breaker. I also found them to be great for yard work. I'm an avid gardener and constantly working in the yard and flower beds. The material is perfect because it's breathable and cleans easily. On a side note, they're also very flattering. Getting ready to order a couple more pairs in other colors. Highly recommend. April 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Becca956 I love these pants! I love to fish and bought these pants for fishing......but they are so comfortable I find myself wearing them as much as possible. April 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dailute Love Them My favourite summer pants-have some in every colour.Lightweight,cool,stretchy,fast drying material-perfect for all outdoor activities. April 9, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by MeanMom Loved them until they pilled I want to love these pants and fabric. Perfect for traveling. Great for warm weather. They sit low on normal people which means they are at my waist since I'm short. I have a really hard time finding pants that fit, but now they are pilling. Badly. Yes, it's between the thighs and in the crotch area and my normal method for removing pilling isn't working. April 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by GRMH Adding Columbia to my 'go to' list. Stats: waist 28" / hips 34.5 / inseam 29" First off, BIG thanks to other reviewers. Their feedback helped me a lot! Purchased size 2 Short. Was nervous the fit would be off, but noting others felt these ran a little small, decided to go for it. These fit great! No bagginess or tightness anywhere. Made for outdoor activities, but such a nice-looking pant I was able to dress them up for an interview. The short length was perfect for me. March 30, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Golfer29 Great pants Love these pants! I have 3 pair. Fabric washes well and dries quickly. I recommend hanging to dry as the panel along the outside and at the knees needs a little reshaping while wet. This panel is the reason I love these pants. It gives, to accommodate body position. The drawstring at the waist is another of my favorite features. The colors are not vibrant, but drab. Like the pockets too. March 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by LolaK The Perfect Pants Lightweight, sleek, great fit--the perfect traveling pants! March 20, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kellyl67 Nocturnal In the picture the nocturnal color looks like a navy blue. Not even close more like a steel blue. This is the only reason I'm returning them. I own 3 pair in the black and love them. Would love to see some better color choices. March 19, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by DeeGee Awesome Pants Love these. They are very comfortable and fit nice. Perfect to wear during the hot summer and still stay cool and dry. March 17, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by megan323 Great Pants I'm 5'8 190lbs and i normally wear a 12 sometimes a 14 depending on brand. I ordered these in a 14 Reg. and they fit great. I recommend ordering a size up so they arent skin tight. These are very stretchy and are lightweight. I really really wish these came in Long sizes. I might have to let the hem out.... Columbia offers pants in short and regular but not tall? This shortcoming is why I only rated them 4 stars. March 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by RAinNH Love these pants I got my first pair for hiking because they are lightweight and I didn't need to use a belt. These are now my go-to pants for all outdoor activities--hiking, gardening, etc. Super super comfortable; don't hold wrinkles; light-weight; packable. They do tend to pill after quite a bit of use. Hope Columbia continues to make these super pants. I wear them year round, and can easily fit long johns on when it is colder. March 9, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by K8410 Hard to get right size I ordered an 8 in these pants (I'm 5"7, 150 lbs) and they were a bit too big in the waist and legs, but the length was perfect. I decided to order a size smaller (6) they fit perfect in the waist but a little tight in the leg and the length was probably 2 inches shorter. I had no choice but to stick with the bigger size and I'll have to get them taken in if they stretch any. They're great to fit longjohns under for the winter, and are super comfortable. It's just too bad the length varies that much between sizes. I wish these pants came in a long. March 7, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5 by kameb work like pants These are great light weight pants. They are just formal enough for some things, but not too formal for other things. i use them for work often. I always wear size 12, and this is the first time that they were a little bigger than expected. Its just the drawstring with no button or belt loops, so it does make it harder to keep these pants up, especially if you have a phone or keys in your pockets. Also the pockets do not zip or snap, so be careful not to lose anything. Great pants. March 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jillybean7 Love these pants! I searched high and low for hiking pants that would fit a curvy body type and these totally fit the bill! They fit perfectly, are stylish and were very comfortable for hiking. I got a size 18W and typically wear a 16, but wanted to be able to add an extra layer for warmth underneath. Love these pants so much! March 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cindy18 BEST PANTS FOR GOLF I love my Columbia Anytime Outdoor Bootcut pants! I'm 5'2", 120 lbs and wear size 4 for a loose fit, but my size 2 pants fit well too. I wear them when playing golf in warm weather. The material is light weight yet durable (how do you do that?). These pant shields my skin from the sun while keeping me cool and comfortable on the golf course. March 1, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nightowl love these pants I really like these pants! they are very comfortable, light weight! they do keep you dry! I wore them on a recent trip to Costa Rica they did not wrinkle on 2 flights and many hours in airports! it was hot and muggy but even the black pair were not to hot! they worked out great hiking the rain forest in the pouring rain kept me dry and did not get muddy on the really muddy trails! will buy more. I find the short a little to long for me I am 5'2 and thought they were a little long! they were even comfortable ziplinging! February 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Asma This is my third pair!!! I have put these pants to the test, from everyday life to walking, running, hiking. They are super comfortable and look great, tend to make you look slimmer and taller. I have purchased this one to endure through seventeen hours of flight overseas bcz I trust them :) February 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jo11 Lightweight! I am between sizes so went with the larger, very happy as the fit is more comfortable with no panty line worries. So glad these are available in Short lengths. They are very lightweight; great for packing. February 20, 2016

Acacia finds power in heroic 'Irena's Vow'
On the 74th anniversary of Kristallnacht, Acacia Theatre Company opened its new season by commemorating a brave soul who said "no" to the ensuing madness.
Irena Gut was barely 20 when she risked her life by hiding one dozen Jews in the basement of a German officer's house, where she worked as a housekeeper in wartime Poland. In playwright Dan Gordon's "Irena's Vow," she tells us what happened, through a testimonial that morphs into a re-creation of the events she lived through. »Read Full Article(1)

'Roth Unbound' explores, reinforces novelist's standing
If you've been tempted to dismiss Philip Roth as a misogynist, a self-hating Jew or simply an old white male dinosaur, Claudia Roth Pierpont's "Roth Unbound: A Writer and His Books" makes a strong argument for giving the novelist another chance.
At a minimum, Pierpont's lucid book, intelligent but not academic, makes the case that "The Ghost Writer," "Sabbath's Theater" and "American Pastoral" are compelling works of fiction worth reading today. She also finds much of merit in Roth's other novels, even when she calmly notes their weaknesses. »Read Full Article

Second City brings 'Nut-Cracking Holiday Review' to Marcus
Christmas presents stolen by thieves. A takedown of a Christmas bell ringer. Loser gifts from thoughtless friends. And a bit of road rage thrown in for good measure.
That's how things begin in the "Nut-Cracking Holiday Revue," which is bringing Milwaukee a dose of typically twisted holiday humor from Second City, Chicago's legendary improvisational comedy empire. One of Second City's traveling troupes — five actors and an accompanying pianist — opened a two-week run at the Marcus Center's Vogel Hall on Thursday night. »Read Full Article
Listening to Lou Reed: 'Sally Can't Dance'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
"Sally Can't Dance" (1974), Lou Reed's fifth solo album, sounds like the child of "Transformer" (decadent and transgressive subjects, glammy poses) and "Berlin" (try-it-all production, a character's unglamorous demise), but not always in ways that flatter its parents. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
