Books for a Book Club
Published: Oct 07, 2015
Category: Fiction
A book club asked me to help them choose between "The Goldfinch" (771 pages), "All the Light We Cannot See" (551 pages) and "Go Set a Watchman" (a rejected first draft) — three books that could kill any group.
I sent along a year's worth of what I'd call better suggestions. Now, as a public service, I'm sharing the list with you.
You'll see very few "recent" books here. That's because 1) I haven't liked the ones I'm supposed to like. 2) Because almost everything ever published is available, I don't feel constrained to choose new books. As I've written: "If it's new to you, it's new."
Some other biases: l) For book clubs, I weigh heavily toward fiction. 2) For book clubs, I energetically oppose books over 350 pages. Because they just don't get read.
Here you go.
Alice Munro: Dear Life
When I love a book, I like to say that I started reading and didn't stop until I was done. Not with these stories. You can't. One a day is a full meal, and then you have to go away and process it. Because these aren't really stories — they're compressed novels, entire lives told in 30 pages. Others writers do something like this, but I can't think of another who does it within the apparent frame of a traditionally told story.
James Salter: Last Night
Some find Salter's writing overly mannered. Yes, there are crumpled napkins on tables uncleared from last night's dinner party: "glasses still with dark remnant on them, coffee stains, and plates with bits of hardened Brie." Privileged women pine for love — or sex. At a man's funeral, there are women the widow has never seen before. A married man is having an affair with a male friend. A hill is made from a pile of junked cars. A romantic opportunity is missed. 132 pages. Ten stories. They may read like trifles, like exercises, like parlor tricks — but you can't forget them. Could it be because they are small masterpieces?
Denis Johnson: Jesus' Son
One of the ten funniest books I've ever read. A guy has a knife stuck in his eye; a drugged-out hospital orderly saves him without quite knowing what he's done. Another guy gets shot in a farmhouse, for no reason. A third guy overdoses. Prison looms for everyone. You sputter: This is a bummer. Indeed it is. And if you think heroin addiction is tawdry (and it is, it is) and the people who use hard drugs are losers (and they are, they are) and there is Nothing Funny about an overdose, then these eleven stories are so not for you.
Somerset Maugham: Cakes & Ale
It's been fashionable for decades to dismiss Maugham as a mere storyteller, as if the ability to tell stories is a second-rate gift. But unless you are a snootball critic, stories are what you read fiction for. In "Cakes and Ale," Maugham juggles half a dozen characters without breaking a sweat. The novel seems formless and weightless, a tale told by a friend over drinks. You cannot imagine how hard it is to do this. Of all his books, Maugham considered "Cakes and Ale" his favorite. Read it and you'll see why.
Alison Jean Lester: Lillian on Life
The most enjoyable novel I've read this year begins like this: "Whenever I wake up next to a man, before I'm fully awake, I think it's Ted. Of course it never is." Ted's absence isn't cause for regret or nostalgia, it's just a fact of life. Lillian has no bandwidth for weepy emotions. At 57, she's alone. And she doesn't have much interest in figuring out how it worked out like that. That refusal to tell her story in beautifully crafted prose or as an indictment of some societal wrong is the welcome surprise and great strength of Alison Jean Lester's novel.
Jesse Walter: Beautiful Ruins
What's it about? Italy in the 1960s, Hollywood in the 1960s, Hollywood now, World War II, the set of "Cleopatra," the Donner party, Seattle, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Idaho — but this long list is scaring you, yes? If the locations aren't daunting, the massive cast might make you nervous: the proprietor of "The Hotel Adequate View," a six-room, three-table nothing of a resort in an Italian coastal town only accessible by boat, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, a Hollywood publicist turned producer, a novelist who can't get beyond the first chapter, an unproduced screenwriter, a singer-comic, an assistant film executive whose boyfriend can be found at strip clubs, and — I almost forgot — the woman who seems to be at the center of all this, a young American actress named Dee Moray, who was briefly in "Cleopatra" and has come to this nowhere hotel because she's been told she's dying of cancer.
Guy de Maupassant: Bel-Ami
In the 1870s, de Maupassant contracted syphilis; by the 1880s, as he was writing "Bel-Ami," he knew he was doomed. So he poured everything into this book about a man who rises to the top through the women who love him. Caution: This novel contains some of the hottest romantic scenes in 19th century fiction.
Jesse Kornbluth: Married Sex: A Love Story
Only because the NY Times loved it.
Michael Arlen: Exiles
Michael Arlen — author of a novel called "The Green Hat" — was more successful than his friends F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway. But Michael Arlen isn't who he looks like; he was born Dikran Kouyoumdjian, an Armenian. In London, he won't fit in. Ditto in New York and the South of France. And his wife isn't exactly who she looks like either. Exiles. So their son, Michael J. Arlen, thinks of them. Exiles? How can that be — they had it all.
J.H Moehringer: The Tender Bar
His father, a noted disc jockey, was out of his mother's life before J.R. was old enough to remember that he was ever around. ("My father was a man of many talents, but his one true genius was disappearing.") His mother, suddenly poor, moves into her family's house in Manhasset, Long Island. In that house: J.R.'s mother, grandmother, aunt and five female cousins. Also in that house: Uncle Charlie, a bartender at Dickens, a Manhasset establishment beloved by locals who appreciate liquor in quantity — "every third drink free" — and strong opinions, served with a twist. A boy needs a father. If he doesn't have one, he needs some kind of man in his life. Or men, because it can indeed take a village.
Mary Karr: Lit
She married a tall, Harvard-educated poet. They had a son, and, right there, when it looked as if she had everything, she started downing a bottle of Jack Daniels a day. It wasn't as if she didn't recognize the trouble she was in. Alcohol flowed through her family history — her father, she's written, could start a fight sitting alone on the front porch. But she was desperately afraid her husband would divorce her and win custody of their son. "Lit" is about many things: the resolution of her relationship with her mother and father, her struggle for recognition as a writer, her inability to unfreeze her marriage. But mostly it's about alcohol and faith — about an intellectually arrogant woman who's too proud to surrender and too smart to believe. In the last half of her book, she does both.
Alan Furst: The Foreign Correspondent
Furst is a master of a genre that is pretty much his own invention: historical fiction set in a thriller frame. This time out, the main character is Carlo Weisz, who has fled his native Trieste and is now a reporter for Reuters in Paris. He's also on the editorial board of Liberazione, a Resistance newspaper edited in Paris and distributed in Italy. In the beginning of the book, the head of the paper is assassinated; Weisz is his logical successor.
Ta-Nehisi Coates: Between the World & Me
His book is a 155-page letter to his teenaged son, "Here is what I would like for you to know," he writes. "In America, it is traditional to destroy the black body — it is heritage." If he's obsessed with the body — especially the bodies of black men — it's not only because he's been reading history ever since he went to Howard University, but because the vulnerability of his own body is the first life lesson he learned as a kid growing up in Baltimore.
This may also be useful in the future: my 100 favorites
HeadButler.com: The 100 Essentials
You'll see some "classics" here, but not because I want you to care about the kind of culture you were assigned in school — for me, a classic is a bestseller that never stopped selling. There are no "political" books. There are oddball choices, like a book about Buddhism by a surfer and a memoir by a man who sells Birkin bags without, as Hermès does, making you wait as long as a year. There are glaring omissions — no Rolling Stones, no Beatles — and only one Dylan record, and the Dylan CD isn't one of his acknowledged masterpieces.

FITTODO.com was designed and created to provide individuals with the information that they need to best improve their chances of living longer, happier, and healthier lives. FITTODO isn't a fad diet, or a program that calls for over-exercising; nor is it a strict meal plan or a magic pill. FITTODO is a lifestyle based around healthy habits that are easy to implement for the rest of your life!
Why is FITTODO different? At FITTODO, all of the information provided to you is easy to find, easy to use, and most importantly, fun. FITTODO takes away the guessing games in achieving healthier, wealthier, and more enjoyable lives, and provides all of the information you need in one convenient location.
If you're looking to follow a short-term diet or exhausting exercise routine to get a quick fix, then this information is not for you. The knowledge imparted at FITTODO is the starting point for a higher quality of life. This information will not only help you lose those extra inches, but it'll also change the way you feel about yourself from both a physical and mental perspective.
There is no single best diet, recipe, or exercise program that works for all of us, as we're all individual in our needs and preferences. There are no magical solutions that will change your physical or mental wellbeing overnight. FITTODO allows you to build a healthy lifestyle tailored to your individuality – one that can be implemented forever!
FITTODO is about goals. Setting and reaching fitness and wellness goals is very similar to setting and reaching financial goals. When properly planned and implemented, goals revolving around nutrition, exercise and health will allow you to begin taking better care of yourself, adding value to your virtual fitness and wellness portfolio.
If well managed, over time your goals will allow you to build up fitness that can be used in various fun, healthy and exciting ways in every aspect of life. FITTODO teaches you to bank your fitness and wellness to feel better, look better, sleep better, and simply improve your likelihood of living longer and healthier!
Medical costs relating to obesity, which is a preventable disease, are one of the greatest challenges we are facing as a nation. Dissatisfaction with the U.S. health care system is widespread, and no consensus has emerged as to how to reform it. The United States will spend over $2 trillion on health care this year alone, and the systems in place to pay for this are deeply and irreparably flawed. FITTODO can help to reverse this trend by preventing people from becoming overweight in the first place. Treatment is expensive – prevention is priceless.
FITTODO helps people from all walks of life learn how to live longer, healthier and wealthier – by simply banking and saving fitness and wellness from early childhood and throughout life. The best part? It's never too late to get started. However, the earlier you start, the better your chances of achieving long-term success. That's why FITTODO emphasizes making regular exercise and healthy food choices fun and enjoyable from early childhood!
The members of the FITTODO team all share a passion for achieving mental and physical success throughout all aspects of our lives. We realize the value of keeping ourselves as healthy as possible in order to maximize the enjoyment we receive in spending time with our families and friends. Being physically fit enough to still run and play with our children is a joy, and one that can be taken for granted.
We want to dedicate the rest of our lives to staying healthy as long as possible so we can watch our children grow up, see them get married, and even to watch their children – our grandchildren – grow! FITTODO is a life journey that will change your world, one day at a time.
Make a healthy choice – for life!

Dog adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
Golden Retriever Rescue of Southwest Florida works to raise awareness of the plight of the Golden Retriever breed specifically through community education as well as the benefits of adopting a rescue animal in need. We also support and promote responsible spay and neutering, as well as programs that are designed to prevent animal abuse, neglect and cruelty.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog or puppy versus getting dogs for sale or puppies for sale from a dog breeder? When someone is breeding puppies, they are creating new dogs who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog or puppy and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale from a puppy breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog or adopt a puppy at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

Kyle Collinsworth walked into the sports information offices at BYU on Monday for a sit-down interview and he looked much different than he did back in February and early March when he led the Cougars on that 10-2 run that got them into the NCAA Tournament.
Yes, Collinsworth's upper body is more chiseled than before — "but I'm not going to get muscle-bound," he says — but what really stands out is his hair. That short-cropped, bushy look is gone, replaced by a more standard-looking cut with a part on the side. He looks a lot like his older brother, Chris.<

Creative Source
Mike Stokes produced their first and most successful album, 1974's Creative Source, released on Sussex Records (also Withers' label at the time). The Migration album followed later in 1974, but failed to spawn anything major despite Skip Scarborough's exquisite vocal arrangements. Creative Source's other significant singles were "You Can't Hide Love" (the Earth, Wind & Fire ditty), "You're Too Good to Be True," and "I Just Can't See Myself Without You."
Wrongly labeled by many as strictly disco and funk, Creative Source could mellow out with the best of them, such as Withers' "Let Me in Your Life," a floating beauty, and "You're Too Good to Be True," where the male lead sounds like a cross between Tyrone Davis and Jerry Butler. Polydor issued their final two albums (Pass the Feelin' On and Consider the Source), which were as compelling as the Sussex productions, but a lack of promotion and public indifference caused them both to fizzle. With little backing and no label after Polydor, Creative Source drifted back into basic Southern California nine-to-five living. ~ Andrew Hamilton

Measure a meter for the speaker, and measure it on the listening position about 3 or 4 meter from the loudspeaker. And see where a drop or raise in the response is.
Your response seems to raise about 5dB from the mid section up, for what I have experienced it comes very close the level from low to mid and the level of the tweeter to the rest. you need to tune it very precise. Measure edit and listen until it sounds good.
To measure the low mid to high response you use a small time window of about 5 msec with low smoothing or no smoothing to see all details of the measurement.

Thanks for all your valuable advice guys. I expect to resume measurements this week.
OT: Last night I went to listen to the system of a friend. He had a new preamplifier from Roger Modjeski, very good stuff in my opinion.

Here's some reading you can do before taking the next measurements:
Crossover mods for the AR4x - Mods, Tweaks, and Upgrades to the Classics - The Classic Speaker Pages Discussion Forums
In the thread above, David Smith, who is a well regarded speaker designer, goes through a new crossover design for an old speaker. Pay close attention to the phase overlap that he talks about. Helmuth above also mentioned it. It is very important that the phase of the two drivers overlap in the crossover region.
Phase is nothing but the arrival time of frequencies relative to one another. For crossover design, the only thing that matters is the phase of one driver in relation to the other. In that linked thread, Dave shows how you can get that using Holm. Here's a quick summary of the procedure:
1. In the device and signal tab, check the box that keeps in/out stream active. This will keep time.
2. In data analysis tab, choose Causal impulse.
3. Make measurement of tweeter or woofer. Keep position of mic fixed for entire process. I like to position the mic at the vertical midpoint of the woofer and the horn. That way the vertical lobe will be symmetrical about the mic axis.
4. Then in data analysis tab, use the time locked feature. Click Use. This will lock the time at the previous measurement. The next measurement will be in relation to the previous measurement. This means, you will get correct phase relationship between drivers.
5. Measure next driver.
Now you can see the phase of the two drivers in relation to one another. When you start putting in the crossover, or every time you make a change to any driver, you will need to repeat the entire process again, because filter changes phase. When you are done, amplitude must sum to flat, and phase must overlap through the crossover, atleast until the individual drivers' outputs are down about 25-30db. This will give a smooth transition from one driver to the other.

Going back to pages 23 and 24, there was some speculation on how low the BMS mid range could go. The long answer seems to also be 300hz.
Here is a screen shot of two different horns with the BMS 4592 on them. One is a DDS horn, about 22"x22" in size. The other is a much larger horn, about 48" x 33", and about 5' long. (56cm x 56cm, and 122cm x 84cm x 153cm) The smaller horn is limited by its size, but the much larger horn shows the lower limits of the mid driver. Which is right at 300hz.
I am not sure why of the differences in sensitivity. I am wondering if it is mostly distance. As in, the larger horn, the mic is over one meter further from the driver. I would think that the volume would start dropping as the distance gets further from the horn mouth, not from the driver mouth. There is also the possibility that something else such as amp volume changed from one test to the other.

Hi Jack,
On my end I´ve been listening to my system with 300hz and 6.3khz croosever poitnts with BW18db/oct filters.
I am mating this with a 18inch woofer Eminence Omega 18a pro in a U-Frame (open baffle).
I am using three amps. Solid state for Woofers.
I think the horn sounds great: guitars, voices and up sound natural and alive.
I have lack of live and like a hole (that is hard to measure but I can listen to it) in the mid-low range, like Toms in a drum set. I am guessing it's Woofer behavior and Bass Integration.
I think the solution for this needs a 15in Woofer to have mids that perform better.
Some friend was suggesting a Sealed box with a Linkwitz transform.
Also some times I feel some distorsions, but my 2360A have some cavities inside where the fiber glass colapsed in the joint of the two sections of the horn, the damage is very noticeable when you look at it, and I guess it has to produce some damage to the sound. That is why this week I plan to fix those imperfections with some kind of epoxy, and then I am also painting the horns with a "wine" color.
Going back to woofers, I don´t want to have more than 1 woofer, so the only option I see is going active. What do you think about a sealed box? Any suggestions for drivers? I was looking at the internet at JBL and TAD. Tad is too expensive. I am thinking if a JBL 15in woofer could to a fine work here. or maybe more modern drivers?
Regarding equalization, I discovered that too many filters kind of break the sound and suck life. So now I am just applying only one EQ filter with a smile shape to raise the extremes. Even when this didn't solve everything, I think result was much better.

Maybe if you measure from the listening position, that will be better to compare sensitivity.

If you took measurements 1/2 meter and at the horn mouth, then inside the horn you will notice SPL will continue to increase at roughly 6 dB each halving of distance.
Horn low frequency cut off and sensitivity is a function of flare rate and other design features, I'd expect the 4592 could go lower than 300 Hz on some horns.
As an example, the response of an EVDH1AMT (3" diaphragm driver) on a 22.5" x 11.25" x (approximately) 17" deep horn is shown.
In spite of being a fraction of the size of either of the horns you tested, the LF cut off of this horn (a WS Paraline) is much lower, around 200 Hz compared to 300 and 500 Hz for your larger horns.

The reason its so fun, is that the spectrum is continually changing through out the horn. Not only is the SPL changing, but the makeup of that SPL. Because the lower frequencies will take longer, (more horn) to impedance couple, there will be less of the lower frequencies closer to the throat of the horn, and then, as the lower frequencies grow in SPL as they couple, the higher frequencies are already dropping in SPL.
So, does a frequency that has not been coupled yet, and therefore not reached its higher SPL from horn loading, still drop in inverse distance? I would think it would have to. So it would be getting quieter, and then louder.
Am I interpreting this all correctly?

Of course one can use pattern-matching! For a sparse array,
sa=SparseArray[{i_,i_} -> 1,{10,10}]
extract the cumulative sum of non-zero entries,
sa /. SparseArray[_, _, _, x_] :> x[[2,1]]
and use ListConvolve to give the number of non-zero entries in each row.
ListConvolve[{1, -1}, %]
I think that this is about as fast as you can hope for.

A draft report prepared by an outside consultant was presented to the county commission.
TV 20's Duke Carter exactly who may be hired is still not decided.
"I hope this county can make an agreement."
Residents like Anderson were happy, Pulitzer/Bogard and associates recommended 34 employees be added to staff the jail.
"with considerable recommendations for some modifications."
Because she wasn't happy that those new jobs would be staff by civilians rather than sworn deputies.
Despite some controversy over hiring an outside consultant, Commissioner Paula Delaney says she's comfortable paying for the 179 thousand dollar study.
"first of all I don't think there's enough staff for them to turn and do the in-depth analysis."
The consultants surveyed inmates and the public, to be more cost effective, they recommended hiring a part timer to monitor food services and more fully tracking overtime, and offering more specialized training.
"I think that reduction in overtime is especially in the past year is possible by product of this."
The consultants recommended 34 additional employees compared to the 46 that Sheriff Sadie Darnell wanted.
"there's come point when its time to hire more people."
But overall Delaney's comfortable with the findings.
"I think to bring an outside set of eyes that's going to be objective about things is helpful to everybody."
Before the meeting ended the commission wanted to consultants to come back and find out what is the core number of employees needed to keep a safe environment and would allow employees to take leave.

Ok, nobody else in my family even has a diary, but my friend Nala challenged me to post five interesting things about myself in a diary, and then tag five other kitties to do the same. Well, I don't know how interesting I am, but here goes...
1. I was shipped with my "brother" Jehoe to my Mom from North Carolina when we were 8 and 9 months old.
2. My litter mates' names were "Dickory" and "Doc". hahahahahah
3. I used to be the wild child, but now I'm super affectionate and very silly.
4. I almost died last summer from a urinary tract infection. I was in the hospital for a week, and made my family broke.
5. I love my dog brother "Zonky". He's a big Shiloh Shepherd and I love to rub up against his nose.
Now I just know you're on the edge of your seats waiting for another fascinating revelation, but that's it for now!

Researcher issues own patch for IE flaw
Page Tools
A German researcher has released an unofficial patch to fix the FRAME/IFRAME vulnerability in Internet Explorer, exploits for which were released on public mailing lists last week.
A number of worms have been using this exploit to infect systems running IE. A single click is all that it takes to infect a machine.
In a posting to the full-disclosure vulnerability mailing list, Thomas Rogg said anyone who wanted to use the patch should ensure that they had the latest Internet Explorer security updates before installing his patch.
The 0day vulnerability is a buffer overflow in the NAME attribute on FRAME, IFRAME and EMBED elements.
"At the time of writing this (November 11), Microsoft has yet to deliver a patch against this vulnerability. The new MyDoom worms (.AI and .AH) use this vulnerability to spread themselves, so I decided to write a patch myself," he wrote.
"This patch does just-in-time patching. It does not change any system files, but rather installs a program that changes the loaded system files' code before a HTML page is loaded, so uninstalling is easily (sic)."
He said because of this, the patch was easily uninstallable. "Also note that the system will tell the just-in-time patcher when to patch, so it will not take any unneeded CPU time for detecting this situation," he added.
Rogg is charging users $US2.50 for the patch. "Installing the patch will require you to donate $2.50 via PayPal. This is an easy process and is integrated in the program's installation. It's for a good cause, my car broke down last week (on the 4th of November, 2004) and buying a new car (read: used) is currently financially impossible for me," he wrote.
Microsoft has not released a patch for the vulnerability though its monthly day for issuing patches fell on Tuesday.

ESFPs make up 8.5% of the US population.
ESFPs are vivacious entertainers who charm and engage those around them. They are spontaneous, energetic, and fun-loving, and take pleasure in the things around them: food, clothes, nature, animals, and especially people. ESFPs are warm and talkative and have a contagious energy. They like to be in the middle of the action and the center of attention. ESFPs live in the moment, and tend not to like to plan ahead. They often fill their lives with hobbies, sports activities, and friends, and may become overextended or unfocused when they have too many exciting things to do. ESFPs are down-to-earth and practical, and enjoy fun tasks that allow them to be physical and use trusted techniques.
Popular hobbies for ESFPs include socializing, team sports, home improvement projects, cooking, entertaining, games, and dance. ESFPs love big parties and gatherings and are quick to join any group or activity that sounds like fun.
At work, the ESFP wants to be hands-on and in the middle of the action. ESFPs like to be in an active, social environment where they are free to be spontaneous and have fun, with co-workers who are friendly, laid-back, and enthusiastic. An ideal job for an ESFP allows them to help other people in a tangible way. ESFPs are stressed by strict rules or excessive bureaucracy at work, and do not usually like to work on long-term projects, preferring work that has immediate and tangible results.
In leadership positions, ESFPs are realistic, encouraging, and energetic. Their strength lies in their ability to motivate and energize a team to address immediate goals and crises. They are good at building consensus and mobilizing support, but prefer to present a positive image and maintain pleasant interactions rather than get involved in disputes. ESFPs do best when leading a playful and cooperative team to achieve short-term, concrete results.
Popular careers for the ESFP include:
- elementary school teacher
- child care provider
- drama or music teacher
- dancer
- athletic coach
- social worker
- emergency room nurse or physician
- dental hygienist
- nutritionist
- physical therapist
- personal fitness trainer
- recreational therapist
- travel agent
- musician
- chef
- restaurant host or server
- receptionist
- salesperson
- retail manager
- floral designer
- landscaper
In relationships, the ESFP is generous, friendly, sympathetic, and affectionate. They are eager to please their partners and motivated to create a fun, harmonious, and active home. They tend to avoid conflict and may have trouble being serious, preferring to move on with their active lives rather than have an uncomfortable discussion. They are supportive of their mates and try to take good care of their families, but they may spend money impulsively. An ideal mate for an ESFP is affectionate and appreciative of the ESFP's generosity and desire to be helpful to others.
Good matches for the ESFP include other SFPs (ESFP and ISFP); matches between these types have one of the highest relationship satisfaction rates of any combination of types. ESFPs also do well with Sensing, Feeling, Judging types (ESFJ and ISFJ), where they share a concern for the relationship and each other's feelings but gain balance from the more structured, orderly lifestyle of the Judger.
As parents, ESFPs are loving, affectionate, and fun, and like to have their households full of people having a good time. They may have many children, and are good at responding to their families' needs. ESFPs may be a bit unpredictable or scattered, and will prefer to engage everyone in a fun activity rather than impose rules or discipline. They do not tend to take life seriously, and often consider it more important to provide excitement and fun than to create structure or stability for their children.
Famous ESFPs include Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Judy Garland, Magic Johnson, Elvis Presley, Ronald Reagan, Paul McCartney, Bob Hope, and Goldie Hawn.
Interesting facts about the ESFP:
- On personality trait measures, score as Changeable, Energetic, Forceful, Initiating, and Resourceful
- More likely to use emotional coping techniques over spiritual or physical resources
- Tend to look to authority in education rather than expressing intellectual curiosity; prefer hands-on learning
- Among most likely to stay in college
- More likely than other types to watch television for more than 3 hours a day
- Second highest of all types in marital satisfaction
- Among types with lowest income
- At work, tend to be satisfied with co-workers but dissatisfied with job security, stress, salary, and accomplishment
- Personal values include Home/Family, Health, Friendships, Financial Security, and Spirituality
- Overrepresented in health care, teaching, coaching, and child care occupations

- Asa Mccoy Mary Mccoy
My grandmother is the great great granddaughter of Asa Harmon McCoy. So, he is my grandfather so many generations back. Love the movie. Great acting and made me cry. The movie was pretty much on the money, but some facts (which are sensitive) should be omitted. My great great great grandmother was Mary McCoy Daniels. I know the great seem to be many, but great pride runs in my family. My grandfather was a hero to be brave enough to stand up for all colors and abandon racism when most of his own were the opposite. For his honorable actions, he lost his life. I am related to the Hatfields, too. My family lives on the Kentucky side; we side with the McCoys. My grandmother Mary Mccoy Daniels (Asa's daughter) was whipped along with her daughter. Her father, Asa, was murdered. Her brother, Jeff was murdered. And, I still see blogs that call my grandmother a gossip. She was not. She was a person who saved lives by warning them. All these years later, she is still being attacked. I would like to defend her and my family. Love to all. Thanks for watching for the most part our history, which is still emotional. Cried all during the movie. A must see. So, please buy. Thank you to the History Channel. If you visit Pikeville, eat at Chirco's Italian Restaurant in town. The restaurant is in the house Randall retired to. The food is great, too.
- No Anachronisms
- Outstanding cast
- photography
- Riveting
- Left me wanting more
Best Uses
I always look for anachronisms in historical dramas but I could find nothing out of place in this one! Someone mentioned move over "Lonesome Dove" and "Band of Brothers" and I have to add "From the Earth to the Moon." This DVD has taken its place along with those outstanding productions on my movie shelves. Having been raised in that part of the country, the photography made my heart ache, I was so homesick. Everyone in cast and production was outstanding, but kudos go to The History Channel for actually showing some history for a change! Now let's see them top this one! I look forward to the next triumph.
This is a great movie and worth purchasing but way over priced on this site. Other stores are selling the same item for [$] dvd, and [$] blue ray. I could see if this site was selling for maybe a couple of dollars more but $25.00 more for dvd, come on really that is crazy!!!!!!!
- Great story
Best Uses
I really enjoyed the program when it was on tv, and now that I own the dvd, I enjoy it even more. I really enjoyed the information in the "extras". The only downer was that the postal service damaged the case, but thankfully, the dvd's were not damaged.
Was told that his could only be ordered online. Just after I order and get video, it is released to the mass merchandisers at a MUCH CHEAPER price. Not at all happy about that!!! It is an excellent mini-series and story. Just not happy about paying so much for it!
Love the movie but wish I would have looked aroud before ordering thru history channel lot cheaper everywhere else
- Very close to the facts
Best Uses
Ended up taking a vacation week in WV, beautiful mountains. Best Capitol in the whole USA, state museum is a must! And Free. I have to come back for more.
Believe it or not, our family is related to both sides of this feud. Having grown up listening to stories about life in Pikeville, Kentucky and on Johns Creek. I felt like I was watching family members play out a tragic and bitter struggle.
I look forward to watching it with my dad who grew up on John's Creek.
I enjoyed every moment of this movie and will buy it when it's released. I would just like to know if the story line followed the truth between these two families. TV seems to over emphasize.
- Everything
- none
Best Uses
The best mini-series/movie made in very long time. I love history and hollywood did a pretty good job of sticking to most of the facts. Great acting by all cast members. can't wait to be it
This movie is long but you will definitely be intriged throughout the entire movie. It was great. it has made it to my favorite movie list!
- Great acting true story
- Love to own my own movie
Best Uses
- Interesting movie
loved this movie cant wait to get it!!! realy brought me back to those days and how things were done, great acting by everyone in the movie no dissappointments at all <3
I grew up hearing all about the feud, but this series really brought it to life. It was fairly accurate except for the above and the death of Frank Phillips (my understanding is he died of blood poisoning from a bullet.) I'm just glad they didn't stoop to the hillbilly stereotyping movies usually do. Everyone from this area should be thankful for that. GREAT SHOW!!!!!
This is one of the best history shows i have seen in a long time. iw ish their was more educational/history shows like this made. my family doesnt care for history much got hooked on the first night, will be ordering the DVD very soon. hope you guys make more shows like this!
I loved the movie especially the first night. I was very upset at how they had Randall McCoy drunk the last hour of the movie. NOT TRUE! Randall was a spiritual man and prisoner of war hero not some falling down drunk who they had running into a tree. Where did they get that??? Randall and his wife was 62 years old 14 years older than Devil Anse Hatfield when the Hatfields burned down his home. The movie has Devil Anse looking older. Randall didn't die in a fire. According to his death certificate he died weeks later after the fire. Please the next time at least refer to a McCoy book and not just one side of the story. I knew Costner would be the star but at least get the facts. After all it's the HISTORY channel. A lot of inaccuracies but I will buy the movie.

aftermarket stereo
3 Attachment(s)
I have a 2001 x5 with a OEM stereo fitted (satnav/TV) I want to fit a new stereo but the connections at the back x 2 are only small all the harnesses ive seen are for standard fittings - is there anywhere i can get connectors to fit an aftermarket stereo
That is just the screen, the "Real Radio" is located in the trunk area in front of the battery under the plastic that has BMW embossed on it.
aftermarket stereo
can I get connectors or a harness to fit a aftermarket stereo
Crutchfield.com could answer that question for you. It depends on what head unit you will be buying for your X. There are some headunits made specifically for the X and it's very much plug and play. You should post your question at xoutpost.com.
Here's a thread at xoutpost on the Chinese radio for the X.

Maidana supports Abregú
WBA Interim Super Lightweight champion Marcos Maidana, who will make his return to the rings next August 28 in Argentina against Demarcus Chop Chop Corley, wished good luck to his fellow countryman Carlos Abregu from Argentina who will face Timothy Bradley tomorrow in California. "I wish Carlos all the best for such an important fight. He is my compatriot and I am 100% behind him. I'll be supporting him through the TV. He is a great guy who can really punch, so Bradley could be in a big problem. I think Abregú can win by KO," Maidana said.
Maidana is currently at training camp in his native country in preparation for the Corley fight.
"After the serious managerial problems I had to experienced I am already focused again and very excited to have a great challenge ahead of me. Corley is a great foe, with quite a vast experience on his shoulders. On top of that, I'll be fighting at the legendary Luna Park stadium which is an honour for me," he added.

With the Man of Steel leading role comes great responsibility. So what's Henry Cavill doing to make sure he fills out his Superman suit?
"I'm on 5,000 calories a day," he tells TotalFilm.com. "You've got to eat protein first, then a little bit of carbs…you've gotta keep your hunger levels going. I'm training two and a half hours a day, pushing my body beyond its normal limits, putting on a lot of muscle mass and just making myself look like Superman."
He admits the suit feels good. "They just put it on, I turned around and look in the mirror and you can't really play it cool – you sort of guffaw and laugh. I thought 'OK, holy hell, this is real, it's not a joke anymore. This is it…you're doing it, you're right in the middle of it.'"
But Cavill doesn't take the role lightly. "I'm very proud to be British and playing an iconic American superhero. ... It means I'm doing something right somewhere."

Nina Dobrev and Nikki Reed Appear in New #GetCovered PSA for Obamacare
Getting a little goofy for the government, Nina Dobrev and Nikki Reed starred in a new "#GetCovered" PSA for the Affordable Care Act.
The clip begins with the girls having a fun day that soon becomes an action-packed night, which potentially costs them $20,000, instead of $100 without health insurance.
"You can make all the right decisions, but accidents still happen," Nina said, adding that, "25% of young Americans are uninsured."
Obamacare PSA's have been running throughout 2014, featuring big-name celebrities such as LeBron James, Magic Johnson and a host of "ordinary" Americans.

2012 overland seat does not auto set
My new overland is set to push seat back and tilt wheel up for entry and exit. It just stopped doing this even though the evic still has it set to on. It worked fine for the past month.
I tried turning it off and back on but still it fails to work.
Re: 2012 overland seat does not auto set
Have you disconnected the battery recently? try moving the seat all the way forward and then all the way back and then give it another try.
Re: 2012 overland seat does not auto set
If you have accidently pressed the "set" button followed by the "1" button it will erase the memory. Try reprogramming.
Sixzerofour....that fixed it! Thanks!

Man Has Big Toe For Thumb
This guy could be a pro thumb wrestler! James Byrne, 29, had his big toe cut off and put on his hand for a thumb. Byrne sawed his thumb off accidentally (like you thought he did it on purpose).
Doctors tried to save his thumb, but the blood was just not flowing in it, so plan B came into play.
Mr. Byrne has nicknamed his new thumb "Toby", and told The Sun, quote:
"People have different reactions, some think it's really funny while others are a bit disgusted by it. They ask 'what did you do to your thumb, it's so big and swollen. I can't bend it yet but I hope to be able to do so soon. It rotates and I can give it a good wiggle."
The world of medicine certainly is incredible. If this guy has a girlfriend, she is in for it! She now stands a chance of being fingered & thumbed. I would call that a true toe jam! Ouch!

Citation: Luo, W., Pietravalle, S., Parnell, S., Van Den Bosch, F., Gottwald, T.R., Irey, M.S., Parker, S.R. 2012. An improved regulatory sampling method for mapping and representing plant disease from a limited number of samples. Elsevier. 4:68-77. Interpretive Summary: Plant diseases are inherently difficult to manage. An important issue for management is knowing where the disease is in the field or in an orchard and what the incidence of diseased (the proportion of plants infected) plants is at any point in time. Knowing where and how much disease occurs may lead to quite different management strategies by farmers. Therefore, sampling for disease becomes very critical. You have to be able to sample and accurately estimate how much disease is present, where it is present, and the farmer must be able to find initial infections before they spread. This paper describes a new sampling method that can be used to find very low numbers of infections, and by doing a limited amount of sampling, be able to predict what the disease looks like a cross an entire field or orchard. This methodology will be useful to both scientists to study plant diseases, and to regulatory agencies and farmers to facilitate improved disease management.
Technical Abstract: A key challenge for plant pathologists is to develop efficient methods to describe spatial patterns of disease spread accurately from a limited number of samples. Knowledge of disease spread is essential for informing and justifying plant disease management measures. A mechanistic modelling approach is adopted for disease mapping which is based on disease dispersal gradients and consideration of host pattern. The method is extended to provide measures of uncertainty for the estimates of disease at each host location. In addition, improvements have been made to increase computational efficiency by better initialising the disease status of unsampled hosts and speeding up the optimisation process of the model parameters. These improvements facilitate the practical use of the method by providing information on: (a) mechanisms of pathogen dispersal, (b) distance and pattern of disease spread, and (c) prediction of infection probabilities for unsampled hosts. Two data sets of disease observations, Huanglongbing (HLB) of citrus and strawberry powdery mildew, were used to evaluate the performance of the new method for disease mapping. The result showed that our method gave better estimates of precision for unsampled hosts, compared to both the original method and spatial interpolation. This enables decision makers to understand the spatial aspects of disease processes, and thus formulate regulatory actions accordingly to enhance disease control.


text: Hello: I have spent a few hours looking at your forum, yes hours. Lots of info...Unfortunately something with the search can't get me to the direct answer. Which I am sure is here. I found photos for one (not the other)of the installs with A3 small split radio, but the new radio one big rectangle looks easier. However there are no photos for that install. Its seems like a trade secret ...Seriously though, 1. If I am going to trade up to an audi and I had the option of one radio versus the other which one is easier? is my assumption correct? 2. Some vendors here say the navi they will sell you doesn't need a "vag-com" work up. that its pre-coded. Does that mean that you plug it in and your good to go? 3. Do these vendors also give you the pin code too? 4. Does the Navi aftermarket give you real time traffic too? My concern is that I don't have much of a garage space here in NYC, and would need to work on the car in the street hence easy and fast is important. Or, I might wake up to find something missing. thank you very much davenyc Someone one will say use the search feature here, but trust me I did.
