How large is your backlog?

Let's say you stopped purchasing books this moment, and concentrated on reading what you have. I don't mean you retired and spent all your time just reading, I meant you keep doing what you're doing now (same lifestyle), just not accumulating new books. How long would it take you to finish reading the books in your library that you have not yet read?
My backlog is really not that large (about 100 books... keep in mind, I have been downsizing for a some time :)
However, I'm so busy these days with work (not compalining, just busy) that I don't read for pleasure as much as I would like. I would say 100 books would take me 3-5 years (I do read quite fast).
Are you talking about just the Easton PRess books, or (god forbid) all unread books?
Oh lord. The unread books in my library are in the thousands...(of course, the books I've actually read are in the thousands as well).
My attitude has shifted over the years from "someday I'll read all my books" to "if I'm ever in the mood, at least I'll know where to find it"
It would probably take me ten years if I stopped buying books now. That is assuming I finish all my unread books. As time goes by, I have less patience for sticking it out to the end of a book that isn't appealing to me.
>4 SilentInAWay:: My attitude is that since I have two kids I only have to read one third of them, they can take care of the rest. Actually they have to read more because they have longer to live. I'd better buy some more books.
Guilty as charged (ignoring this thread). When I began book collecting I had every intent to read all of my books in the proverbial someday. Then I started acquiring much faster than even a speed reader could keep up (and I actually and unfortunately read very slowly). Last I checked my backlog assuming an average pace of 40 or so books a year will exceed my life expectancy so I have to face the reality now that some books in my library will simply never be read by me. Sad but that hasn't stopped me from continuing to add and exacerbate the backlog!
>6 wailofatail:
And I'd better start procreating in order to have an excuse to buy more books!
>8 SpoonFed:: Best reason I can think of for buying more books. ; )
Hoooonney ..... !?!
My backlog is pretty big, this is mostly due to two reasons.
First I do not for the moment and I have not for some time been reading every day, and in addition I read quite slow and tend to pause often when I do.
Secondly many of the books that I own are more academically oriented and in that sense they are more for reference then A-Z reading, so many of them will remain unread in their entity I suppose.
That being said I have thought about it during the last month that I will go through the books I have and see if there are any that I can put up for sale or just give away.
Assuming there are about 2500 books on my backlog, I need 6.8 years of reading with a rate of one-book-a-day.
However, when I continue to read 2 books per week (my current reading rate) it would take over 24 years to complete!
The only way of fulfilling this task would be to commit a crime that locks me up in prison for the next two decades or so.
How much would you get when you rob a book store, let 's say the one on 44, Eagle Street, London?
>11 islandbooks:
Islandbooks - I will be in London from Sept 1 to Sept 19, let me know if you need an accomplice for the 44, Eagle Street "borrowing."
Joking, naturally.
I am rather impressed, however, at your reading rate of 2 per week! You must be a speed reader. Since most of my books are history, they are often a slow slog though inherently educational and (to me at least) entertaining.
In my twenties, I often read around 100 books a year. Now, in a good year, I read maybe half that. In calculating my backlog, must I take this negative accelleration into account?
Absolutely, otherwise it is not an accurate representation of your true backlog. You also probably need to take into account some level of future purchases unless it exceeds your annual reading level, in which case your backlog seems infinite to me.
Good lord, these forums....whale penises, chicken mcnuggets, what will think of next?
>11 islandbooks: Martin how do you manage to get to read 2 books a week? I can at most do 1 a week but maybe that is because I read more history books that are larger than the average fiction or so.
Oh yay, another history fan!
History fans are the best!! (also the least employable, according to today's societal standards, but that's another kettle of fish)...I have a small backlog which at present consists of a couple of "100 Greatest" titles which I got but I have doubts as to whether I'll ever muster the interest to actually read them all the way through, unless I'm REALLY bored. -O.K., I'm referring to Aristotle's "Politics" and "Poetics" and Livy's "History of Early Rome" - I feel somehow guilty about dismissing these two titans of classical history/philosophy :-(
>16 UK_History_Fan: Glad to hear that UK History! I just bought a couple of months back the The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire. I am sucker for those Cambridge History series. It is definitely going to take some time to get through it. I also see that the FS is offering the 6 volume The New Cambridge History of Islam at a hefty £699. I just can't justify that price at the moment. I am also trying to get the Yale English Monarch series that boldface recommended some time ago and is himeself collection.
I have been very tempted by the Cambridge History of Byzantium as well. Are you happy with it ?
I took my history degree at Cambridge and, predictably, the Cambridge Histories were always required reading ! Depth of coverage is usually excellent, but they sometimes have a tendancy towards academic dryness.
>19 Quicksilver66: David!
Yes I am quite happy with it. I don't think you can avoid the tendancy towards academic dryness in the series, but I do think so far this volume is intriguing and and a joy to read. You can read a chapter excerpt PDF to get an idea.
I also found this review by the Historical Society on which I based my decision to purchase this from the FS. I actually got this as a free set in the spring sale. I could not believe they offered it. I believe the review provides a better introduction than what I could say about it, but I do recommend it.
In retrospect, I would loved to have chosen to read history instead of law. I do think about going back to university.
> 20
I know how you feel. I took my first degree in history and then I studied law. My first love is history though - the decision to study law was taken solely as a career move.
Do you practice law in Denmark?
Unfortunately, no. I took a government job as a legal advisor. I have actually specialised in international space law at university. I am still hoping one day to qualify alas with the recession it seems more impossible with each day that passes and that space law in non-existant in Denmark :)
> 19 - 22
totally agree on the employability comment. My undergrad is in European History but my career is in accounting / finance (thanks to a graduate degree) . Originally intended a doctorate in english history, thus the handle I use on here...Tudor-Stuart England more specifically.
I too own the Byzantium set but it is still shrink-wrapped and I paid full price! But I do own and have read the outstanding and beautifully produced FS 3 vol set by Norwich which I highly recommend!
My first truly elaborately expensive book purchase was the (19???) multi-volume Cambridge Ancient History set the FS made available at what I recall as a 20% discount a few years back. I am still kicking myself hard for passing on the Medieval History set by CUP which sold out back before I could afford it! I also bought the 3-vol russian history set.
I have a very used and beat up version of the large single-volume Renaissance and single-volume reformation titles in the CUP modern history series. Clearly I am a fan of these books!
Incidentally I will be visiting Cambridge during one of my away outings during my upcoming London vacation.
> 12,15
(reading two books per week) I'm traveling to my work by train which is two hours per day: excellent reading time!
My commute is similar. Clearly I just read slower :-)
Mine too...unfortunately, I'm driving...
> 23
If you visit Cambridge do go to David's Booksellers in St Edwards Passage. It was a favourite haunt of mine as a student. The front part is mainly remaindered and second hand, but around the back he has a great antiquarian section where you can browse at leisure.
David, thanks for the tip. My understanding is that we get some free time over lunch, so I will be sure to eat quickly and explore David's.
I worked in accounting/finance for 3 years before landing my current legal job. It paid and helped me through my masters. I also have CUP Russian set :)
It does pay bills sufficiently to allow me some book indulgences :-)
I have a 'to read' list which is a subset of the 'unread' list, neither of which include what I consider reference books (books dipped into or referred to occasionally, but never really read cover to cover). My 'to read' list is currently 732 books, but I know that I have a couple of dozen recently acquired and waiting to be entered into that list. Assuming my 10-year average rate of about a book a week, that's about 14 years of reading on my formal 'to-read' list.
Of all non-reference books, I've read 795 out of 2,284. My ratio of read to total has remained at about 1/3 since I started my catalog in 2000, when my library was about 40% the size it is now. Again, at my average reading rate, that leaves me with enough reading to last about 29 years, which is about the same as my remaining life expectancy. I hope to increase my reading rate significantly in about 7 or 8 years, however, as I wind down my vocation and increase time on my avocations.
All of you people put me to shame, at least in terms of reading ambitions. My backlog never exceeds c. two books!!!
Speaking of reading 100 books a year, did you know this? George W. Bush was not only an avid reader but the books he read weren't exactly a mere nothing.
In 2006, George entered a bet with Karl Rove, his Deputy Chief of Staff, which of the two would read most books in a year time.
Karl Rove won with 111 books, but Bush was reading 95. Ninety-five books in one year, that's roughly 2 a week! And this was done besides a 'job' as president of the US.
People around Bush have often said that at parties/receptions/banquets/etc. Mr. Bush always quickly left at 9 o'clock at night. It turned out that he went to bed to read.
The books on his list were mostly historical classics.
George W.: maybe not the best example of a world leader, but as a reader he surely stands out!
>33 islandbooks:: "George W.: maybe not the best example of a world leader, but as a reader he surely stands out!
Maybe not the best but then only one can be that. On the other hand, he was certainly not an obamanation, or quite possibly the worst example of a world leader either.
> 33, 34
I personally think we should keep these posts free of U.S. politics which are so hyperpartisan at the moment. This is probably not the best forum.
wailo wasn't really talking politics -- he just can't resist the opportunity to propagate a pun.
>35 UK_History_Fan:: Probably a good idea.
I realize islandbooks post was specifically intended to address Bush's astuteness as a reader but the last sentence, perhaps even inadvertently, plays off of the left wing, stereotype of President Bush as an inept, bumbling leader; a stereotype propagated by the liberal-biased, mainstream media in one more of their not-so-subtle campaigns of personal destruction. They've said it so many times, of course, and if they say something over and over again, it must be true, right? (Well, wrong actually, except that it becomes so ingrained in the public psyche that the truth never sees the light of day.) I'm sorry if I intercepted island's post and ran to the other end of the field with it but I personally believe that President Bush was a very able, capable , and commendable world leader for whom I am thankful to have had as President during so challenging a time in American history. When time digests and deposits in the annuls of history the facts regarding the strengths and weaknesses of the Bush administration without the liberal slant it will tell a different story than the pre-blended, opinion-pieces the media passes off for news these days.
>36 SilentInAWay:: Don't call me Black, Kettle!
As far as backlog goes, I probably have around a third of my books still remaining to be read. When I began, I decided to finish any book once I started it, no matter how it turned out. Well, recently I've found I just stop reading some that don't quite draw me in so that I can move on and finish one that I really do like. There have hardly been any so far that I had trouble finishing, however, one comes to mind which I was wondering if any of you had trouble getting into: Lord Jim by Conrad. I know the basic summary of the story and thought it sounded pretty interesting, but once I started it, I just found it hard to follow. On the other hand, maybe I just had other things on my mind, at the time, and just didn't concentrate enough. For now, I've put it down and continued to the second Sherlock Holmes book.
>38 Arknight:: I had similar difficulties in appreciating or getting into "Heart of Darkness". It just didn't "do it" for me.
>38 Arknight: I, too, have found Conrad to be a difficult author. Lord Jim is hard to get into, and I think Nostromo is even more difficult, but I have read them both to the end and was glad I did.
I concur with Arknight and Tom. I do not give up on a book very easily, but Lord Jim lasted 50 pages...
Sounds like a challenge on which I might just have to take all of you up.
> 37
I had no intention to be negative about President Bush, I deliberately used the word maybe because I know there are different opinions about his leadership.
I agree with UK_History_Fan that we should keep these posts free of U.S. politics. ;-)
I started but didn't finish Lord Jim quite awhile ago. I've had several books that went that way, but find that years later, I can pick them up and give it another shot and find them quite fine. Who and where you are in your life journey changes how a book works for you. Besides, I've read quite a few books now that did not begin to pay off until I was well into them, and I think that has made me more patient than I used to be.
So, Lord Jim is still on my 'to read' list.
Me too...anyone up for an Easton Press group-read?
>42 wailofatail:: I'll give it a whirl ... though I'm certain you all will smoke me.
I agree to keep this post free of politics if wailofatail deletes the offensive pun in post 34 above.
Also islandbooks should edit and delete the last sentence in post 33. No man of unexceptional qualities rises to president of the US.
Have you read Lord Jim? If it's in your backlog, are you up for SilentInAWay's suggestion?
Yes, Os., I have read it in the LEC edition illustrated by Lynd Ward. A fascinating, though sometimes frustrating book. I have found with Conrad that he tends to hook you early, exasperate you until you want to give up during the first third of his books, then get you impatient to get to the end. When you do finish it, you have the feeling you have experienced a great work of art, but for me, anyway, I have to steel myself to start the next work.
Still, Lord Jim, The Nigger of the 'Narcissus', Typhoon and especially The Secret Agent stand at the very top rung of 20th century English novels. That said I need to finish the second two thirds of Nostromo--one I did give up on--and tackle Under Western Eyes which has been very highly praised as well as The Arrow of Gold and The Rescue which I got on a Folio Society sale.
> 40
Lord Jim is one of my favourite novels (and Conrad my favourite author). I have read it three times now. I agree that Nostromo is quite difficult, but it is a magnificent novel and if you read through to the end, your patience will be repaid.
I have read Lord Jim. It is difficult to enjoy in spots, but do stick with it. It is one of those books that when you have finished it, you're glad you read it. Or, as Django said, "When you do finish it, you have the feeling you have experienced a great work of art." I like to "collect" quotes as I read books, and some of the best in my "collection" come from Lord Jim.
>51 indigosky:: "I like to "collect" quotes as I read books"
Another?! I do that too! My wife wanted to know what was that in the file folder labeled 'quotes'. Can anyone figure out this one, (sans Google):
"But perhaps the things that he held to be good and right to do, were not the good and right things for our time, or if they were, then perhaps he carried them out with too much force or with too straight a tongue and through that, put men against him."
>52 wailofatail:
That reminds me of a time years ago when I was in elementary school, someone told me that I needed to know what the first line of Moby Dick was for the SAT test one day in the future. I remembered, "Call me Ishmael," for like 9 years only to never see that question on the test!!! ARGH!
The other weird thing that I can not forget and I have no idea why, is a password for a game called Mega Man 2 on the original Nintendo Entertainment System which I memorized when I was 6:
Maybe this will be useful one day for some purpose I cannot yet foresee?
>52 wailofatail:
I am not sure which the book is, but the style is Richard Llewellyn's - so it is either one of his... or someone with a very similar style.
PS: I am not collecting quotes but I have a weird memory sometimes - which was a problem back in high school because a lot of the teachers did not believe that I can repeat 3 pages from the textbook word by word without looking at them... until they actually figured out that I am not learning by heart intentionally and I am not trying to cheat :) With the years I remember less and less -- but I still have weird moments when I just snap pages or paragraphs in my memory...
>51 indigosky:, 52
I keep a commonplace book; a blank book in which I record quotes I don't want to lose. It's always handy on a table in the main room of my house, and it's wonderful to just flip through it once in awhile and recall the great stuff I've read. There are some quotes that come from other sources besides literature, but mostly they are from my readings. To me, it helps magnify the benefits of my hobby/compulsion.
>54 AnnieMod:: You have a very keen memory AnnieMod. The quote is from Richard Llewellyn's How Green Was My Valley. Where is the E/P edition of this book?
>56 wailofatail:
Sometimes. :)
I am really bad at remembering plots for the most part... or details... although once I start reading a book again or start reading a sequel, it all comes back. At the same time I can recall phrases and paragraphs and assign them to books/authors.
I need to reread this book... had been a while and I am mixing 2 or 3 of them in my head.
I'm glad to hear there are other quote collectors among us. I'm not surprised at all.
On topic: My "To Read" category here on LT has 112 books in it. I'm sure I could add another hundred if I counted in books on my current wish list.
I only track the hardcovers but...
163 read since I started tracking (32%)
343 unread in library (68%)
Double plus ungood.
If I read 25 books a year then I'll be completely through my collection in 14 years. Of course there are some doubles, so maybe I'll move a bit faster.
Of course, if you are anything like me, your library will continue to grow over the next 14 years, repeatedly deferring that completion date...
No matter how much or how fast I read, I can always buy them faster...
The only thing that is going to stop me from accumulating is unemployment... or getting married (jk). ;)
>61 EclecticIndulgence:
Keep dreaming. You just switch to "Cheapest available copy" and then when you see yourself with more money, you start replacing them. Been there, done that. Haven't tried to get married to see if that will put a stop of my books buying though :)
>61 EclecticIndulgence:, 62
Getting married - you'll either become co-enablers, or you'll figure out how to get books into the house and onto the shelves without being noticed. Been there, done that.
>63 Osbaldistone:
LOL Osbaldistone!! Good to know I'm not the only one sneaking them in! "Yeah, nothing interesting in the mail today honey..." (Secretly opens box in the garage).
In January 2000, I started methodically tracking wishlist, purchases, to reads, and books read. My database calculates my reading rate (books/month and books/year) and uses that to calculate the length (in years) of my 'to read' list.
In 2000, my 'to read' list was about 9 years. It has steadily increased, as has my read rate. Since January 2000, I've read 659 books, and I have 729 on my 'to read' list. That comes out to about 13.5 years. And I know I have books that I haven't put on my to read list yet, and the database doesn't count books that I want to read again (I'm afraid to add that feature in).
>63 Osbaldistone:: Or both. My wife brings home a dozen boxes at a time from her office for me in which to store my library overflow and then gives me the evil eye when I fill them up.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry, reading all these posts!!
>66 wailofatail:
I put small stacks of books in carefully selected locations around the house for "decorative purposes". It hides the fact that I've filled the shelves and am still acquiring books.
Actually, the only books I'm acquiring now that I'm unemployed are Early Reviewer books I've received, but the above was true for a couple of years before, and, I'm sure, will be true again when I find my next employment (anyone know someone looking for an experienced project manager/environmental engineer?).
I've downloaded a couple hundred books on my kindle recently. At around 1 book per week read, it's gonna take a while.
>69 Tugar:
The unread collection on my kindle has 127 books at the moment. And I kinda cheated so I have a second collection called "New" which is for books published in the last couple of years -- and the number there is similar.
Does not mean that I stopped buying paper books... if anything, I seem to buy more than usually for some reason.
>63 Osbaldistone:
When I was in Bulgaria, I could not receive my books on my real address (long story about post offices and stolen packages and so on). So all my books were arriving at my mother's home. The first couple of years she was complaining that I always have packages arriving. Later, she was so used to it that when I did not have a package for a full week, she asked if she should go and talk with the post office people so they can track down where my packages are. She was joking that people have bad habits or throw money on expensive cars while I spend money on books. Add to these all the books I was buying locally or during trips... Fast forward a few years and I am packing to leave for the States and all those books need to be stored and/or given away. Her last words at the airport when she was seeing me off? "Try not to make the same thing with books in the States". Then we were talking a few days ago and I mentioned that I just ordered 4 new bookcases... Her reaction was: "Of course you did. Did you remember to finally buy yourself a sofa as well?" :)
>70 AnnieMod:
Annie, if I can find it again, I'll send you a picture of a very nice sofa with built-in bookcases on the sides and the back. (Some furniture makers are very attuned to addictive types and their needs.)
I have 72 EP books on my shelf at present. I have read 33 of them - almost 50%. I must do better !!
But the pleasure of these books is not only in the reading of them. I love looking at them, re-arranging them, leafing through and lovingly caressing them.
> 73
Nope. Just pluck them from the shelf and read them. No white gloves for me - but I naturally respect books, handle them carefully and don't stress the spines.
The way you were describing I wasn't thinking of white gloves, but perhaps latex...
Ha - I know. I often use romantic language when describing books. I don't know I'm doing it. I don't know what that says about my state of mind.
I have read all 7 of my EP books (excluding the Faerie Queene, which I just received about an hour ago :D), but have at least a hundred other books on my to-read (and owned) list. My other books may get out of hand because I'm able to buy too many at once, but I'm determined to make sure that I read all of my EP and FS books before I'm able to treat myself to any new ones (I'm excluding the complete Beatrix Potter collection from the FS books I have to read, because they are to read to my hypothetical future kids).
I am not sure how large my backlog is, if I exclude any books that I would label as reference literature in one way or the other then I guess it is about 200 books.
>71 Django6924:
Won't that be fun :) Actually I went out and ordered a sofa today :)
>77 johni92:
You know - I would read the Potter books - they are charming. Especially if you had never read them before.
The very first book I read to my daughter, (she was just three days old,) was The Tale Of Jeremy Fisher. It was one of the small, pocket-size editions, which seemed suitable for such a tiny person. Of course, she fell asleep.
>79 AnnieMod:
I have flicked through a couple of them, but haven't got around to reading them all. I may do it eventually, but don't consider them to be on my to-read list.
>81 johni92:
I like children literature. I grew outside of the English cannon so I am reading most of the books for the first time. And I am charmed. I suspect that I would have had different reactions if I had read them when I was supposed to... but even now, they are worth reading.
>82 AnnieMod:
Something else I have been doing is slowly collecting a large number of Enid Blyton books, which were ones I very much enjoyed as a kid. These also are ones I might read when I'm not in the mood to read something larger and more difficult, but mostly I just collect them for my hypothetical future kids. If you enjoy reading children's literature and have never read anything of hers I would strongly recommend it.
Also, I hope you're not the sort who takes offence at this sort of thing, and sorry if you are, but I believe it's canon, not cannon.
(I was going to comment that I didn't grow up inside a large English gun either, but was worried that might be misconstrued as being insulting, particularly given that, from your comment, English isn't your first language, although I wouldn't have known that from your ability to write).
:) My spelling in the middle of the night can be... inventive. Especially when the spell-checker cannot help - as in this case :) So.. oops for the cannon/canon. When I am careful, I don't get them mixed up; when I am not - well... see above.
I've read most of the Blyton books - I like them :)
As for taking offense for this kind of things - no worries. And if you had posted the gun comment, I probably would have laughed. :)
Ah, my spelling and grammar can get a little bit dodgy late at night too. It's only 7pm here at the moment, so I can't make that excuse if I go making silly mistakes ;)
>83 johni92:
The Blyton books were a very important feature of my childhood--they introduced me to ginger beer, for which I will always be in their debt. Very good reads, too!
>53 Arknight: Ha, I remember a similarly formatted code for Mega Man 4 on NES.
I can read one book a day if I am on summer vacation but when teaching I drop down to about 1/2 a book a week. I read the papers in the morning and when I am finished read the books I am working on until my wife is ready to drop me off at work. But at school I mostly read for my job (grading papers, prep etc). During the week I am too tired to read more than about 15 minutes in the evening (then I fall asleep). But I make up for it on Saturday afternoons! I can only rely on having one or two long reading periods during the school year. So I have a back log particularly 1950's and 1960's and 1970's fiction I inherited from my parents. I enjoy the classics or non-fiction the most so I find I only read 1 or 2 contemporary fiction books per year. I don't mind having a backlog and if I have books that i know I will never read again I donate them. I rarely buy paperbacks anymore. I buy electronic versions for ephemeral books. The beautiful thing about EP books is they are not ephemeral.

Leadership, scholarship, character and service. And a little (far from) Family Feud.
Wooster High School's chapter of National Honor Society has always prided itself on the organization's four characteristics and it put them to work for the game show service project that brought home a national service award.
Students from the chapter have returned from a national conference in Orlando, Fla., with not only a renewed spirit in its tenets, but an unexpected award for one of the 10 outstanding NHS service projects in the country. Unexpected because the group did not know it had entered. This was the first year the Wooster chapter attended the conference and so adviser and high school teacher Jolene Dyer entered the Family Feud project without telling the students back home in Wooster.
Wooster seniors Laura Davis, Beth Stallings and Jenn Hider went to Florida with Dyer for the conference, which centered on imagination and leadership. Coming home with a big plaque boosted the chapter's morale. "I think it showed the members what we do is really helping someone," said Stallings, the chapter's publicity officer.
Dyer agreed. "Sometimes I don't think they understand how much they do. I counted up for them the number of hours they have given to their peer tutoring program. In just six weeks, they've given more than 600 hours of tutoring, giving up study halls, before school and after," Dyer said.
While in Orlando, the girls met people and other students literally from around the world, and racked up tons of new ideas for the chapter and heard about a lot of other great service projects. "We were so impressed with these other projects, and never thought we would get one of these 10 awards," Stallings said.
With the realization at the awards announcement, came a whole lot of whooping it up. "All of a sudden, we heard 'Wooster High School.' We just started laughing. We were really excited, and it made our whole trip to be able to bring that back," said Davis, the chapter's president.
What was it that won the day for Wooster? Last year, students faced off against teachers, in the quiz-based-on-polling game. Pledges and donations at the door were accepted. After hearing of the problem from school nurses, emergency dental care became the group's cause. A fund established by the chapter is now dipped into for dental care for students needing financial assistance. Last year, after doubling the group's goal of $1,000, it was surprised to learn a woman attending the game was so impressed she solicited her own service organization for an extra $500, Dyer said.
After raising $2,500, the group decided the best thing it could do was hold an encore, so the game will be played again this winter. Davis and Stallings are reminding their teachers that the students are defending champions and intend to hold on to the trophy swapped back and forth for the winning side.

Raisin Pumpernickel Bread
Recipe by Sharon123
This bread is also called "Black Russian" and is delicious! Try it with a ripe piece of Brie, as a sandwich, even fabulous French toast! It's origins came out of New York. Smells heavenly baking in the oven!
Top Review by Engrossed
YIPPEE! I made REAL bread! It's been about 10 years since I've done so. I did use my kitchenaid's dough hook though. I made this as directed with dark rye flour and all-purpose flour. It was slow to rise so I put on top of the dryer because I was doing laundry all day too. Worked great! I ended up with 3 beautiful loafs that had a nice crust and soft inside. The raisins were perfect in it. I enjoyed this most toasted with butter. YUM! Freddy Cat says hi! Made for the Please Review tag game.

- Sprinkle a large baking sheet with 3 to 4 tablespoons cornmeal.
- Turn the dough out,cut it into 3 pieces, and shape each piece into a small round loaf.
- Set loaves on the baking sheet, leaving as much room as possible between them, cover, and let rise until doubled.
- Preheat oven to 400*.
- Beat egg white together with 1 tbls.
- cold water in a small bowl.
- When the loaves have risen sufficiently, brush the tops with the egg white mixture.
- Bake loaves on the middle rack of the oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until they are dark brown and sound hollow when bottoms are rapped.
- Cool completely on racks before cutting or wrapping.
- Makes 3 loaves.
- Enjoy!

When I got married, I made it clear to my husband that I was not the best homemaker and that I would need all the help I can get if I were to put order in our household.
I was hoping that he would pick up my subtle hint for a housekeeper.
Instead, he came home one day with all kinds of vacuum cleaners to help me clean the house (sigh).
I thank God everyday for the return policy, but before I gave them up, I tried them all out first.
Choosing a vacuum cleaner for your house is not like a beauty pageant. There is usually no clear winner, no Ms. Vacuum Cleaner 2014 awardee who gets to wear the sash.
Every user will have different needs and every vacuum cleaner will satisfy a different audience. Nevertheless, there are universal needs that can satisfy a wider audience.
Handheld Vacuums
No matter how big or small your place is, every homemaker has to have a good handheld vacuum cleaner. Let's face it, you cannot clean your house everyday.
At most, it's a vacuum-as-you-muddy-up type of process that works for almost anyone. If you can only have one vacuum in the house, make it a hand vacuum.
Choosing the best handheld vacuum cleaner can be challenging. While they are cheaper, it makes no financial sense to buy every handheld in sight.
Choose carefully. Consider its battery life. You want one that will work without constantly being charged. Make sure there's an indicator light that will tell you that you are running low on power. Get one that is light and portable, and yet has plenty of functionalities. Don't let price rule your choice.
Hardwood Floors
If you have hardwood floors in your house like I do, you need the right kind of vacuum cleaner. This is because most vacuums are great for carpets, but not always for hardwood floors.
It takes a good hardwood floor vacuum to remove dirt and keep your wood clean without damaging its shine and polish. So what makes a great hardwood cleaner?
First, don't choose one with a beater brush. These are for carpets and can scratch your beautiful wood. Instead, get one with that has felt stripes and padded with rubber.
It should also be able to sweep and mop, which is ideal for hardwood floors. And if you have a pet, you should look for a strong suction power to get to those pet hairs that can get embedded.
But remember, to get one that is portable and light because the heavier ones can leave scruff marks behind.
Vacuums For Pet Hair
While I love Dodong, our Labrador retriever, he sheds a lot especially during summer. Seeing all the pet hair drives me crazy, so I spend a lot of time vacuuming pet hair.
As a result, I learned that a bagless vacuum cleaner is your best ally in your fight against pet hair. They are easy to empty, cheaper and easy to spot whether you are doing a good job of zapping pet hairs.
Choosing the right vacuum cleaner requires effort. Know what you need and how you will use it before settling on one.

The Age of Doubt: Tracing the Roots of Our Religious Uncertainty
The Victorian era was the first great "Age of Doubt" and a critical moment in the history of Western ideas. Leading nineteenth-century intellectuals battled the Church and struggled to absorb radical scientific discoveries that upended everything the Bible had taught them about the world. In The Age of Doubt, distinguished scholar Christopher Lane tells the fascinating story of a society under strain as virtually all aspects of life changed abruptly.
In deft portraits of scientific, literary, and intellectual icons who challenged the prevailing religious orthodoxy, from Robert Chambers and Anne Brontë to Charles Darwin and Thomas H. Huxley, Lane demonstrates how they and other Victorians succeeded in turning doubt from a religious sin into an ethical necessity.
The dramatic adjustment of Victorian society has echoes today as technology, science, and religion grapple with moral issues that seemed unimaginable even a decade ago. Yet the Victorians' crisis of faith generated a far more searching engagement with religious belief than the "new atheism" that has evolved today. More profoundly than any generation before them, the Victorians came to view doubt as inseparable from belief, thought, and debate, as well as a much-needed antidote to fanaticism and unbridled certainty. By contrast, a look at today's extremes—from the biblical literalists behind the Creation Museum to the dogmatic rigidity of Richard Dawkins's atheism—highlights our modern-day inability to embrace doubt.
Christopher Lane is the Pearce Miller Research Professor of Literature at Northwestern University and a recent Guggenheim fellow. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Los Angeles Times, Slate, and many other newspapers and periodicals. He is the author of numerous essays and several books on literature, belief, and psychology, including Shyness, published by Yale University Press. He lives in Chicago.

Worship Backing Band
More: Excellent bang-for-the-buck—an extremely useful tool for small worship teams or soloists. A decent (more than 100) selection of well-known worship songs. Vocal cues are well-placed and very helpful.
Less: No Firefox support (all other major browsers are supported, though). Somewhat confusing song download process.
he advent of digital multi-track technology has opened up a slew of doors for worship leaders. The problem many times is that those doors can often be expensive to open. Arriving on the scene is Worship Backing Band, a downloadable multi-track player created specifically with the budget-conscious church/worship team in mind. The player allows solo musicians or small groups to augment their sound by adding in up to 10 tracks of various instruments and backing vocals.
Users download a multi-track player (Mac or PC compatible versions are available), and then choose the individual songs they are interested in for individual purchase and download. Songs are inexpensive (less many times than what you might pay for a decent chart) and represent a good cross-section of modern worship, including Tomlin, Redman, etc. While the songs are not the original master recordings, the quality is good, and many "bells and whistles" are included to give each song the feel of a large band.
Once the player and songs are downloaded, the fun begins. Each song has full instrumental tracking, including lead vocals, backing vocals and spoken vocal cues perfect for those with in-ear monitor capability. Each track is individually mixable (in mono/mono to allow for variable house and monitor mixes) and mutable. Each track can also be soloed to help musicians to be able to learn the appropriate matching parts.

Will NASA land a man on Mars by 2030? Next mission could provide significant clues
Will NASA land a man on Mars by 2030?
That is the question being raised by scientists around the nation following an announcement by the U.S. space agency that it will return to Mars in 2020 in preparation for a manned mission by 2030.
In a statement released late Tuesday of last week, NASA officials announced their latest plans for the Red Planet, saying they plan to use a pair of upcoming Mars missions to further expand their knowledge in preparation for a 2030 manned mission.
"The challenge to restructure the Mars Exploration Program has turned from the seven minutes of terror for the Curiosity landing to the start of seven years of innovation," NASA's associate administrator for science, and astronaut John Grunsfeld said. "This mission concept fits within the current and projected Mars exploration budget, builds on the exciting discoveries of Curiosity, and takes advantage of a favorable launch opportunity."
While the goal of landing a man on Mars by 2030 has long been the focus of NASA, recent budget cuts have left the space program barely scrapping by as it continues to test out new features that could ultimately lead to a successful launch and landing on Mars. Speaking in Tuesday, NASA Administrator Charles Bolden reiterated the agency's goals, saying both he and the Obama administration remain set on reaching Mars by 2030.
"The Obama administration is committed to a robust Mars exploration program," said Bolden. "With this next mission, we're ensuring America remains the world leader in the exploration of the red planet, while taking another significant step toward sending humans there in the 2030s."
While the announcement seems to have rekindled interest in a manned mission, questions remain. Speaking earlier this year, a top NASA official told congressional lawmakers that the agency is on track with its next crewed mission to an asteroid that is expected to prepare astronauts for the nearly six-month to Mars.
NASA and its team of private contractors are "making excellent progress" toward launching an unmanned test flight in 2017 in preparation for the real mission, Dan Dumbacher, NASA's deputy associate administrator for Exploration Systems Development, told members of a House Science, Space and Technology subcommittee.
Meanwhile, a NASA team has tested a space suit in a setting with extreme conditions akin to some of those found on Mars — an Argentine base in Antarctica — for possible use on a visit to the Red Planet. The NDX-1 space suit, designed by Argentine aerospace engineer Pablo de Leon, endured frigid temperatures and winds of more than 47 mph as researchers tried out techniques for collecting soil samples on Mars earlier this year. The space agency has already unveiled the planned design of the rocket that could carry the astronauts to Mars. The massive rocket, which will be longer than a football field and is billed as the most powerful U.S. rocket since the Saturn V that took Apollo astronauts to the moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s, could face engineering challenges, possibly delaying the mission.
In addition, recent findings by the Mars Curiosity rover has presented important data that could allow scientists to better understand how astronauts will handle the challenging environment of the planet's inhospitable surface. A mission consisting of a 180-day outbound cruise, a 600-day stay on Mars and another 180-day flight back to Earth would expose an astronaut to a total radiation dose of about 1.1 sieverts (units of radiation) if it launched now, according to measurements by Curiosity's Radiation Assessment Detector instrument, or RAD.

Order Your Materials in Time for NCPW!
By now, you probably know that National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW) is an annual event to highlight free resources from government agencies and consumer advocacy organizations that can help people make smarter buying decisions and spot scams. NCPW 2014 is March 2 – 8.
But you may not know that a number of NCPW partner agencies offer free consumer publications that you can distribute to friends and family, co-workers and other people in your networks and communities. For example, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has a page at ftc.gov/bulkorder where you can order information on avoiding scams and identity theft, staying safe online, using credit wisely, managing debt, and so many more important consumer topics.
Any time of the year is a good time to host a consumer protection event — and we encourage you to do just that! But to get materials from the FTC in time for NCPW, you must place your order by January 24, 2014. This allows for the FTC's four-week minimum delivery time.
Be sure to pay the FTC bulkorder site a visit and order the resources you need to make your NCPW 2014 event a success!
Has Congress approved of the appointed head of this Agency yet?

World Wide Web made it possible to crush the World into the freelance.
Millions of people who can do anything a little can now call their selves a freelancer! What a freedom…
The synonym of the freelance is unprofessionalism. Please, Freelancers, forgive me! But that is true.
The first advantage which can be found on top is cheap service (by the way this is a first reason of unprofessionalism). If you go to a huge company and request a project you will give three – five times more than making project with a freelancer.
The best method for the management of projects is close personal communication with people and building a circle of people and then knowing what they can do and what they cannot.
Now there are lots of freelance communities where you can see each freelancer statistics, past projects and reviews. It helps but not very much.
Let me give you an example. One person had an idea to make a social networking site. Social network project must be very expandable and changeable. He finds a freelancer who did an excellent job. From the browser it was fine. He gave an excellent review and paid with pleasure.
A few months later he realizes he needs to add several features and to make some changes. He finds another freelancer and gets advice to drop out of his current system and to start from scratch. This site was great from the browser, but inside it was terrible. That is how freelance unprofessionalism works. The problem is that the client does not even know how to check the job. In big companies there are ethics of project building, rules of how it should be built.
Here is a piece of advice of how to find good freelancer. You should not just check reviews from past works but also check past clients. If there is at least one client who is a specialist in web and he gave excellent review to the freelancer – he is good.

The Mighty Yates Bro's bring hip-hop and more to The Motherloaded Saturday
October 25, 2012
The Mighty Yates Bro's and Jeff "Blaze" Addams bring "blues, rock and hip-hop" to The Motherloaded Tavern, 103 S. Main St. in Breck on Saturday.
The Denver and Colorado Springs-based act features cousins James and Chris Yates on turntables, keyboard and vocals, with guitarist Addams on a Gibson Les Paul.
Showgoers can expect "high-energy and acid blues guitar tones," according to Addams, who finds inspiration in Jimi Hendrix and cites "drinking beer always" as the band's latest project.
In contrast, James Yates finds inspiration in family, and cites the band's current project as "gigging." "We play music everyone likes to dance to all night long," James said.
Chris promises "a mind-blowing show" Saturday, inspired by "the love of hip-hop."
The Mighty Yates Bro's plays primarily original tunes with some covers interspersed. The show kicks off at 10 p.m. and there's no cover.

exporting tetrahedral meshes
I'm using the new "TetGenLink`" in Mathematica vs 9.0. It is working well, but I can't figure out how to export the tetrahedral mesh to a 'useful' file format. Does anyone have any tips for this?
The TetGenExport function only seems to export to .poly format, which I can't open in other programs.
I would really like to be able to export in .nas (Nastran) format.
thanks in advance,

Vegan donuts: delicious even after getting smushed on a transcontinental flight.
Ah, Las Vegas. City of sleaze, exploitation, and hedonism; somehow ethical eating doesn't seem to factor into the equation. So I was surprised that I ate well this weekend in Vegas.
The city is full of ostentatious ads for steak and seafood, but if you look hard enough, you'll find good vegan options. And–surreal and wonderful–Vegas is also home to Ronald's Donuts, with two shelves full of delightful and fully vegan donuts.
If there's one thing not to miss in Vegas, it's Ronald's. The average little donut shop exterior gives no hint to the vegan paradise within. I entered and declared "I've come for vegan donuts," and the super friendly proprieters filled a huge box with an assortment for me to take back to New York. Apparently another group of vegans had come before me and nearly cleaned them out, but I still got a huge array of cinnamon buns, fruit tarts, and the classic glazed donuts that I haven't eaten since I went vegan twelve years ago. Incredibly, it cost only $13 for a huge box of donuts and a bottle of water. (Located at 4600 W Spring Mountain Road; call ahead to make sure it's open: 702-873-1032.)
Ethnic food is your best bet when it comes to vegan meals. At an Indian restaurant called Ghandi, you'll find a nice variety of vegan-friendly North and South Indian options, and they'll even tell you what's vegan in the lunch buffet. It's located at 4080 Paradise Road at East Flamingo Road, not far from the Strip. Call 702-734-0094.
I also had great Ethiopian food at Meskerem, just off the Strip at 252 Convention Center Drive. They've only got one vegetarian dish, but it's hearty, filling, and delicious. Avoid the iced tea, though; it's not even freshly brewed, but made from an ultra-sweet mix. Call 702-732-4250.
I had two decent-if-overpriced meals at Mandalay Bay, a swanky hotel on the South Strip. The Border Grill, which overlooks the pool, has a tasty grilled portabello mushroom, although make sure to talk to your server; half the accompaniments aren't vegan, and they'll still charge you $16 for the meal. On the plus side, they make a nice mojito.
I normally wouldn't even glance at a place called Burger Bar, but I was bored and happened to notice they they offer a dish called the "Vegas Vegan." It's just a bunch of grilled vegetables in the shape of a hamburger (portabello mushrooms for the bun, eggplant for the burger, lots of toppings) but it was satisfying. And they have an exceptional beer selection. It's located at Mandalay Place, which is a little shopping mall connecting Mandalay Bay and Luxor.
I also noticed that Japonais in the Mirage has a nice selection of (extremely expensive) vegetable sushi. I didn't have time to try it, but it's another option to check out if you're in the area.
I've only concentrated on the options closest to the Strip. Am I missing anything? Let us know your Vegas Vegan experiences in the comments.

Capriotti's sandwich shops in several VEGAS locations serve Veggie Turkey & Veggie Salami subs that are very satisfying.
At NY NY casino – Chin Chins will make any dish on the menu with tofu in addition to their on menu veg choices. Portions are generous and satisfying.
Happy vegan eating in sin city!

And Rainbow's End is a vegetarian store with a little cafe and tons of vegan dishes. I tried the vegan carrot cake… it was to die for. I also tried the eggless salad sandwich, which was ok but just ok.

The veggie cheesesteak meat is vegan. All other veggie meats have egg white as an ingredient.

I have been able to find some very good veggie alternatives offered usually on special sections of the menu. It is definitely surprising to see how many good vegan choices that are available in las vegas.

1. Capriottis: All the stores will NOT clean the grill first in order to cook the sandwich. So beware. They claim they can't give you raw soy "meat" due to health code.
2. NEW RESTAURANT: Red Velvet Cafe. Sahara/Buffalo (about 5 miles West of the strip). AWESOME vegan food, great vegan owners. < redvelvetcafelv.com >

Red Velvet Cafe should not be listed as an option… not only do they sell crap, pus, blood, feces and menstruation (aka MILK, EGGS), they sell dead animals. Why support any business that makes DIRECT money from animal exploitation?

I am so glad Red Velvet is on here. This place does everything well. The vegan food there is fresh, healthy and more delicious than any other place I've eaten at in Vegas. They have vegetarian and some meat options, as well (no beef or pork at least) – but just about everything can be made vegan. I appreciate this place so much because it's the kind of establishment that can really help the movement – everyone can eat here, everyone. And whoever you are, and whatever you eat, you will not be able to resist coming back for the vegan red velvet cake (they're namesake dessert)once you've had it – it's probably one of the healthiest, most delicious things to eat on the planet.

Oh yeah. Ronald's Donuts rock! Especially the soy cream filled…so good. And Mary Lovingly's food over at Rainbows end is really (really) good as well. Being vegan in Vegas isn't so bad after all!

By saying places that offer vegan option but sell meat or egg products should not be listed is lame, every place on the list inculding ronalds sells non vegan items so let's encourage places to have vegan items by buying them, let's not be Assholes people

Hi, I'm a vegan who can't eat soy. Any suggestions for me in Las Vegas or should I just bring my own.

Juan, most of the options mentioned in this post don't contain soy. (Grilled veggies, portobellos, veggie sushi, Indian, Ethiopian … no tofu in sight.)

As a strict vegan, I've had some trouble in vegas. However, I am going back in August and there is at least ONE thing I can look forward to foodwise: DIEGO at the MGM Grand. Though their menu didn't boast much vegan, I talked to the host and it worked out like a charm. The waiter named a few dishes I could eat and I had the best fajitas I've ever had. Not to mention the guacamole they make right in front of you. Give this place a shot.
