this time around, i didn't labor for three days.
i didn't go to a birthing class, overcome any fears of pushing a watermelon out of my vagina.
i didn't practice any breathing or moaning or have two hour long appointments with my midwife.
I didn't wonder too much about breastfeeding or sleepless nights.
i did still eat as healthy as i could, got sick about every day, and stressed about my water intake.
i managed to exercise even more, gained about 20 pounds less, and set a date with my obgyn to have a planned cesarean.
i intertwine my birthing stories because to me, they are a circle. a balanced scale with the world's weights.
i labored beautifully in the comfort of my home, in and out of the birthing tub, zen thick enough to deny the reality of time lessening between my contractions.
as mellow as a hippy on a marijuana hit, i may have uttered words like "yeah man, i guess i'm in labor. sure, go ahead and call the midwife, dude."
the doppler couldn't pick up a heart rate. i changed positions. i put the oxygen mask on. someone called an ambulance.
emergency c-section. and not enough time to hold the shell of the boy i had so diligently grown the last 41 weeks.
born and dead.
two years later, my daughter was grown with much trepidation. i assumed the outcome of no baby, another stillbirth. i scheduled a csection for a friday in june, nearly two weeks before my due date. too terrified to carry her full term. my obgyn supported my decision but asked me a handful of times over the course of my pregnancy if i was sure i wanted a csection, reminding me a VBAC was possible. My mind was made. Fear guiding it's course.
I cried daily at the realities of being divorced, single and now knocked up. Guilt-stricken at my birthing choices in comparison to everything I had tried for previously. And the thicker fog of having a baby after losing a baby.
I left for the hospital at 6am, ready for the 8am csection scheduled. I had mentioned eating a TUMS at 4am jokingly--though sincerely-- to the anesthesiologist, who then pushed back my cut time for 10am as to proto-call to prevent potential vomit from aspirating into my lungs. Two doctors have to be present during the csection, one of which was already committed to a surgery at that time. I had to wait until noon. Lunchtime. Everyone in that room skipped the only time in the day they had any chance of getting lunch in order to do my surgery, which relieved any frustration I felt for having to wait longer than anticipated.
The operating room was cold. I was covered in warm blankets. I sat up, ready for my epidural and cried before the anesthesiologist even prepared it. I was scared. With all the information I had once read on some websites, I felt like I was either going to kill my baby or she would come out unresponsive. But, I didn't think I could do it. More than that, I think it came down to that I didn't want to do it. I felt a loss of the empowerment I once had to birth my baby and nothing short of a breathing baby to remedy that. Lucky for me, some websites are wrong.
I got some numbing shots in my back and then a larger needle of the epidural. I didn't feel it go in at all. I laid down and started giggling. I felt nauseous but that subsided quickly. I giggled some more. I was David after Dentist.
At some point, I asked when they were going to really start. They informed me that they were cutting the last layer into my uterus. It was weird to me. Not feeling anything and not seeing anything, but picturing my guts hanging out of my body. Here we were, my insides out. My child almost here. I don't think I realized I'd actually have a baby, even after the preparation weeks prior or sitting in the middle of my csection in that moment.
And then something monumental happened.
She cried.
Of course I cried. But I finally breathed.
I mean really breathed.
I breathed for what felt like the first time in almost 3 years.
They hurriedly showed me my girl then immediately took her to clean her off, and suction stuff out of her lungs. Unfortunately, because of my decision to have her so early, her lungs had a lot of fluid in them, hoping to cook for a while longer in my womb. Sure, I grieved the labor, the immediate baby to breast, the cord pumping out, the "natural" parts a homebirth would have provided....but that all took a backseat to the fact that I had an actual ALIVE baby.
After checking her out some while I was stitched up and wheeled back to my room, and at the advocacy of my birthing partner--a medical student--they brought her to me. I immediately tried nursing her before anyone could give me their two cents on the topic. I've seen how stressed new mothers get at everyone's nursing "tips". I thought I'd stay relaxed enough without everyone else in the room. She nursed nonstop and successfully. She gained over a pound in the first week and has been a healthy eater since. And by healthy eater I mean chubby (:
I always thought people who pushed me to have another baby after my loss were insensitive. But, now with some understanding, having my daughter somehow reconciled so much I lost. The having to bind myself after the first pregnancy, watching my milk disappear down the drain in the shower along with the clots of blood natural healing provides.... Feeling like I was slowly losing pieces of what remained of him, of the mother he made me. I still hold her sometimes, the way I used to hold his blanket when I cried myself to sleep and some of those times I still cry thinking about him and some of those times I cry thinking about her and how amazing she is and how far we've come. Every moment is like another brick pieced in my restoration. I feel really grateful.
If there is anything I've learned, it's that pregnancy and impending delivery--if you let them--work at growing love and overcoming fear. Because love kicks fear's ass. There's just no room for it.
If I should be fortunate enough to get pregnant again. And then fortunate enough to carry that baby to term. And then fortunate enough even still to actually HAVE that baby, I will be considering a natural vaginal delivery in the right-for-me hospital or birthing center with the right-for-me care, honoring everyone's respective role on both sides, hopefully coming at it with more balance and leaving little to no room for any sort of fear. And in the meantime, I will be advocating with many of you for places where that is available and attempting to empower other mothers in their births.

The last elections for the Athletes' Commission took place during the different FIS World Championships in 2009. Due to the introduction of a new event, ladies' Ski Jumping, an election for their representative is necessary. Additionally a replacement for the men's Ski Jumping representative must be elected due to the retirement of Andreas Küttel. New elections for all members of the FIS Athletes' Commission will take place during the FIS World Championships in 2013 when the current Commission's four year mandate ends. The replacement elections will take place at the FIS Ski Jumping World Cup in Lillehammer (NOR) on 3rd-4th December 2011. Nominations may be submitted in writing by the National Ski Associations from 1st November 2011. One candidate per nation representing ladies' and men's Ski Jumping may stand for election to the Athletes' Commission (with the exception of the nations already represented, i.e. FRA, SWE, BUL, CRO, USA, FIN, NOR, AUT, CAN, NZE, POL) and sent to athletescommission(at)fisski.ch. The deadline for nominations of candidates is 30th November 2011. For more information, see here or email athletescommission(at)fisski.ch. |

How It Works:
In order for the nerves in our body to function properly, we need to maintain adequate blood levels of thiamine (Vitamin B1). Recent studies have shown that many people suffering from peripheral neuropathy have low plasma levels of thiamine. These people need a more bioactive form of thiamine for their nerves to function properly. For these people, Neuremedy alleviates the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy by delivering a highly bioactive form of the micro-nutrient thiamine to where it is needed, the nerve cells. Neuremedy works by nourishing the nerves.
What is Neuremedy:
Neuremedy is a medical food that nourishes dysfunctional nerves allowing them to conduct impulses more normally. The specialized formulation in Neuremedy contains benfotiamine, which is the most successful form of thiamine used to treat peripheral neuropathy. It has been used since the early 1960's to successfully treat tens of thousands of patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy in Asia and Europe.

Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Raising Children to Pursue Truth
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Science and Faith on a Secular Campus
While many Christian colleges actively seek to help their students engage issues of faith and science constructively, few secular colleges are active in promoting the conversation. As a professor at a secular school, how can I encourage my students to authentic engagement and dialogue on science and faith issues?
Mending the Disconnect
How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?
The State of Evolution (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about evolution and public education in the United States. The graphic, titled "The State of Evolution", draws upon sources from USA Today, the National Center for Science Education, and Pew Forum, and shows two challenges to a widespread understanding of the science of evolution in the United States.
Allaying Parental Fears About Evolution Education in Public Schools
If they left their children in the public classroom, should they as concerned parents, as committed Christians, as agents of truth and light in this dark world, remain quiet or should they speak out?
Christianity and the History of Science (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the relationship of Christianity with science throughout history. It debunks the myth that they have always been in conflict, and it reveals numerous examples of Christians playing a leading role in the development of natural science.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Series: Let's Not Surrender Science to the Secular World
In this series, Mark H. Mann rejects the polarization of science and faith, claiming that this separation actually causes elements of Gnosticism to rise up among Christian fundamentalists. In reality, secular knowledge is never purely objective, but has and continues to be influenced by particular world views. He calls Christians to reclaim the scientific endeavor as a means for revealing the "Book of Creation," which ultimately will enable us to read God's Word more accurately.
The Galileo Affair: Emblematic or Exceptional?
On the morning of June 22, 1633 in the hall of the convent of Santa Maria sopra Minvera in Rome, Galileo Galilei knelt before the Lord-Cardinal Inquisitors-General and publicly abjured his false opinion that the sun was the motionless center of the universe.
From the Dust: Framing the Debate
So why are Christians nervous about evolution and why do we even use a phrase like the 'e' word? The word itself has a negative connotation in many groups.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Adventist Origins of Young Earth Creationism
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.
In the Middle of Things
During the medieval era, as we can see in examples from three different fields—science, theology, and literature—people were interested and engaged. They were not shrouded in darkness and anti-progression, yet for centuries the period was characterized in this way.
Daniel Harrell on Embracing Science
In this video, Pastor Daniel Harrell encourages the Christian community to embrace science as an element which can harmonize and strengthen, rather than attack and undermine their understanding of theology.
Series: A.D. White's "Warfare between Science and Theology"
In this series, Mark Noll shows that the long-enduring metaphor of warfare between science and dogmatic theology as suggested by White is inaccurate. After introducing Andrew Dickinson White and his views on the science-faith interaction, Noll offers his own counter-argument for philosophical and historical reasons.
No Fear
In this video Conversation, Os Guinness notes that Christians should be able to relate their faith to all sorts of issues, including science, and should have no fear of doing so. Guinness quotes George Whitfield, who said, "I'm never better than when I'm on the full stretch for God."

Doppler UltrasoundA Doppler ultrasound (or duplex scanning) is a medical test that uses reflected sound waves to estimate the speed and direction of blood as it flows through a blood vessel. It helps doctors evaluate blood flow through arteries and veins. Doppler ultrasound can be used to evaluate the vessels in several areas of the body. For example, a Doppler ultrasound test of the blood vessels in the neck (carotid ultrasound) can be done to estimate a person's risk of a stroke from blockage in those arteries. Renal ultrasound can help detect kidney problems. Lower extremity ultrasound can be used to detect a blood clot in the deep veins of the legs. A Doppler ultrasound also may be used to evaluate problems with the blood flow to the placenta and umbilical cord in a pregnant woman; problems with this blood flow may indicate fetal distress.

Food Poisoning Symptoms
What Are Symptoms of Food Poisoning?
Viewer Question: Is it necessary to conduct a culture of feces or vomit in order to determine that a patient suffers from food poisoning?
Doctor's Response: Food poisoning is a general term that refers to gastrointestinal illnesses (usually diarrhea and/or vomiting) caused by food that is contaminated with:
- bacteria,
- parasites,
- viruses, or
- toxic substances.
The actual cause of most individual episodes of food poisoning, however, never is pursued (for example, a culture is not done) since most episodes are mild or moderate in severity and are over in a few hours to a few days. In fact, the diagnosis of food poisoning usually is made only presumptively, based on the affected individual's symptoms and the circumstances. Even in outbreaks of suspected food poisoning that involve many people, when careful studies are done, a specific cause is found no more than half of the time.
Bacteria are the cause of most outbreaks of food poisoning for which a specific cause is determined. Bacteria cause food poisoning in three ways.

Why would anyone spread possum urine around a house, turn up the heat and close all the windows for a few days?
Because they're flopping, of course.
Flopping is the latest in mortgage fraud, in which sellers actually want as low a price as possible.
The scheme works if they are underwater on their mortgage, and their lender agrees to a short-sale, forgiving the difference between the sale price and the amount owed.
The seller unloads the home for the sandbagged price to an accomplice, who can then clean it up and flip it for a quick gain.
Suspicious short sales, ones flipped the same day, accounted for just under 2 percent of all short-sale transactions in 2011, according to CoreLogic. Floppers averaged a 34 percent gain. The average profit: $55,000.
Fraudsters can get away with it because banks are swamped with short sale requests -- they have more than tripled in the past three years.
The possum urine trick was an extreme example of the methods used to discourage homebuyers, said Ann Fulmer, a mortgage fraud specialist with Interthinx. "It smelled like a Hazmat site," she said.
Other tactics: Floppers pull out appliances and take cupboard doors off their hinges. They leave dirty laundry lying around and paint what looks like water damage on the ceilings. They might also invent plumbing or electrical problems, and give appraisers fake repair estimates created by cooperating contractors.
The sellers point out the flaws to legitimate shoppers, and when no one buys, the sellers have a convincing argument to make to the bank, according to Tim Coyle, director in the Financial Services division of LexisNexis Risk Solutions.

Khorramabad, Iran
Women in the Iranian city of Khorramabad are dressed for the ceremony of Chehel Manbar. The commemoration of the battle of Karbala, when Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, was killed, is one of the most important ceremonies of the year for Shia Muslims.
On the ninth day of the Muslim month of Muharram—on the eve of the climactic Day of Ashura—women in some regions participate in Chehel Manbar. In an act of mourning for Hussein they go veiled and barefoot to light candles at forty different locations.
Ceremonies differ from city to city, according to regional traditions. In Khorramabad, women light candles in the doorways of houses and offer cookies to the occupants. They may also cover their head and shoulders with clay in an act of mourning.

Meal ideas
The Mayo Clinic suggests stocking up on condiments, particularly those that are vinegar-based and have a long shelf life, such as ketchup, mustard and soy sauce.
Keep canned protein such as chicken, salmon, beans and peanut butter on hand, the clinic recommends, and keep boxes of powdered milk or shelf-stable milk cartons handy. Also, don't forget a manual can opener.
Eating out of a can doesn't have to be boring, says Ron Stone, assistant director of nutrition at the Mayo Clinic in Florida.
"There are many options to mix and match from your pantry, and with advance planning and a little creativity, you can provide healthy and delicious meals for your family," Stone says.
Clinic interns have created sample three-day meal plans to feed a family of four without the use of power or refrigeration, including desserts and energy bars.
The American Red Cross recommends that you turn off or disconnect any electrical devices that were in use when you lost power. This includes stoves and other kitchen appliances. That's because surges or spikes in power can harm your equipment when the power comes back on.
You can leave one light plugged in, though, so that you know immediately when the electricity works again.
It's a good idea to keep candles around, as well as a flashlight on every floor of your home. A battery-operated radio is also handy.

The SmartReflect Baumer continues to attract attention in the automation industry. The magazine MM machinery market has awarded the light barrier without a reflector with the Innovation Award "MM Award 2012" in the category of sensors. The award was presented by Ken Fouhy, Publisher of the magazine to Christian Adolph, Head of Group Marketing at Baumer, at the trade fair AUTOMATICA in Munich.
The SmartReflect caused not only a"wow effect" among the jury members, but also convinced the experts with its economic benefits. Because the sensor solution needs no reflector, it also eliminates the costs otherwise required for installation, commissioning, alignment and cleaning of the reflector. This means a saving of around 50% with a significant reduction in operating costs.

I have applauded the efforts of Byron Dooley of Seven of Hearts previously, including both his white wines and Pinot Noir. I will continue to do so because I believe he is making a quality product at a significantly valuable price, that balance a high level of Old and New World conventions, and his Seven of Hearts Chardonnay is a prime example.

I Know More Than You Babydoll

If there's one fatal flaw to the typical geek, it's that we can be pretty obnoxious about our knowledge. Hubris: we have it, and we can use it in a sentence. Know-it-all. Brainiac. Smarty-pants.

Why are there so few women technology entrepreneurs? There are numerous research projects and opinion polls that have looked into the issue, but we decided to go straight to the source and ask some of the leading female Start-ups working with Microsoft in Europe what they think.
In this high level event we plan on gathering 100 young Spaniards, Startups and SMEs with the objective of establishing a forum for dialogue in which the young generation, civil society leaders, government elites, MEPs and entrepreneurs will discuss the role of youth as the key to the future in Spain's competitiveness, in three of the areas that have been set as priorities: development of ICT skills,...
Europe's Nordic region has already gained its notoriety as a cluster for innovation, talent, skills as well as for creating opportunities in the ICT industry. Microsoft has also been supporting the Nordic region by investing in high-potential companies, through open-innovation programmes for developers and start-ups, like AppCampus, as well as by supporting education programs for young...
Due to challenges posed by Europe's ageing population, we are now obliged to come up with viable solutions towards ensuring the financial stability and quality of our health systems. As we are strained by limited resources and high demands in delivering quality care and cure, we are compelled to "do new with less."

Mesa, AZ, United States
"One of the great adventures in human history"
Herodotus might have been the Father of History, but Xenophon was the cool, older brother. This one-time pupil of Socrates is one of those soldier/scholars who makes both intellectuals and warriors feel inadequate. 'The Persian Expedition' or 'The March of the Ten Thousand' or 'Anabasis' (all depending on your version or translation) relates the story told by Xenophon of his experiences fighting with and leading the 10,000 Hellene mercenaries hired by Cyrus the Younger and the army's 3000+ mile march into Persian.
This experience, which Will Durrant once called "one of the great adventures in human history," can be read as history, adventure story, leadership manual, or a real-life application of Socratic philosophy.
"Death is often the point of life's joke"
An early Nabokov with many funky allusions to Tolstoy, early anticipations and presages of Lolita, and Nabokovian black humor from beginning to end. As a independent work, I don't think it belongs in the top tier of Nabokov's lush ouvre, but it seems to me to be a piece where Nabokov establishes his literary sea legs. The genealogy of most of his great later work seem to all thread back to 'Laughter in the Dark'/aka 'Kamera obskura'.
In this novel, Nabokov is playing with themes of vision, blindness, truth, deception, art and morality. You see many of Nabokov's later motifs surrounding vision floating (like mouches volantes) through this early work: mirrors, window pains, mimicry, scintillations, semblances, glasses, movies, etc. It wouldn't be Nabokov if he played any of these themes straight. He bends the narrative and plays with Tolstoy's belief that it is "the essential nature of truth to be hidden from, then revealed to, the eyes." Nabokov gives you the goods and gives them to you good and hard right between the eyes.
"Mundane Malthusian Waggery"
I'm not sure exactly why I volunteered to jump into another Dan Brown novel. What circle of Hell is designed for readers who keep returning to the crappy, popular authors (Brown, Card, Clancy) of their youth hoping for a drink from the waters of Bimini? What circle do you consine the novel's author?
1. Limbo?
Look, the novel isn't that bad. Brown can be quite entertaining if you ignore actual language and writing. I'm not sure exactly why I volunteered to jump into another Dan Brown novel. What circle of Hell is designed for readers who keep returning to the crappy, popular authors (Brown, Card, Clancy) of their youth hoping for a drink from the waters of Bimini? What circle do you consign the novel's author?
1. Limbo?
Look, the novel isn't that bad. Brown can be quite entertaining if you ignore most of the actual writing. He IS the master of page-turning historical mysteries, but I'm not sure if that says more about page-turning historical mysteries, Dan Brown, or us as readers.
2. Lust?
To be fair, while I despise Brown's actual writing, his plotting does turn me on as a reader. While I think he hit his high water mark with 'Da Vinci Code' (Yes, it's all down hill from there Dan), this novel is slightly better than the 'Lost Symbol' so I can't completely pan it.
3. Gluttony?
I think this is the most likely circle this novel belongs in. I think Brown's major issue is his self-indulgence. His style is inflated, but doesn't actually inform. His metaphors are swollen. His descriptions are possessed of majority fat and very little meat. I probably belong here too. So, here is my vote.
4. Greed?
It is obvious why Dan Brown writes this way... because we (myself included) still buy it. It reminds me of why I hate it when directors in Hollywood become successful. They stop being good and instead become hacks. The reading public, much like the movie going public, demands mediocrity if the writer/director is going to be successful. Real art is not bought, real literature is most often ignored (I know that is cliched, but it is mostly true). I think the amazing thing is that Brown started as a hack and has just perfected hackery to a point where he will be able to print money in 20 years by publishing an Italian phonebook.
5. Anger?
No. Not really. More like regret. If I am angry (Notice how I shifted from the circles being about Dan Brown to the circles being about me? If you aren't comfortable with those kind of style abortions, you should probably not read Dan Brown).
6. Heresy?
No, Dan Brown definitely doesn't belong here. I think this is a circle the Catholic church would have like to place him for 'Da Vinci Code' but 'Inferno' is mainly heretical to scholars of Dante, Transhumanists, and perhaps Malthusian alarmists.
7, Violence?
Again, because Dan Brown is aiming for the center-mass of the paperback purchasing world, he isn't going to make his novel THAT graphic. He made it grim, he made it painful, but violent. Meh.
8. Fraud?
'Inferno' is a kind of a rip-off of every dystopian SF novel about eugenics, mixed with a little bit of James Bond and a little bit of the 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,' but since all writing is a rip-off, I can't really mark Dan Brown down for this circle. If he is condemned to the 8th circle it will be more for 'Da Vinci Code', which I still believe is a watered-down, mediocre version of 'Foucault's Pendulum'.
9. Treachery?
The further down into Hell you go, the more you realize it actually takes a lot of work to earn a place at these lower levels. That alone would discount Dan Brown. It would also probably discount my review, since I just couldn't bring myself to spend an inordinate amount of time reviewing a book I wasn't all that impressed by.
"A latter-day Jeremiah of espionage & statecraft."
If for whatever reason, during the last twenty years, you've missed John le Carré's anger, and if his last 10 books were too subtle for you, and if you didn't catch le Carré's moral outrage in 'the Constant Gardner' and 'a Most Wanted Man', then you might need to skip 'A Delicate Truth'. In his newest novel, John le Carré tackles the amoral world of private contract espionage, rendition, and ineptness. Le Carré attacks Western ethics, Western hypocrisy, the West's venal "war gone corporate."
John le Carré war is a battle of young idealism vs amoral and often incompetent mercenaries. It is a war of principled, but flawed individuals vs what Olen Steinhauer summarized as the "shortsightedness, hypocrisy, lies and unfettered greed that plagues the "post-imperial, post-cold-war world".
This isn't the most artful of le Carré's novels, but it is probably one of his sharpest. He dares the reader to follow him in his role as a latter-day Jeremiah of espionage and statecraft. He condemns the hypocrisy and the false gods of the Post-Iraq War/WOT West in his aim to "root out, pull down, destroy and throw down" the inhuman idols of the West. His NeoCon critics might aim for le Carré's eyes, but they can't destroy his vision or overlook his balls
"A soft, muted Victorian Melodrama"
There are many parts of Dickens' writing that I love and few pieces of his that fall short of complete adoration. 'Great Expectations' is one more of Dickens' absolute masterpieces. I love how with 100 pages left you can almost feel the universe shift as Dickens grabs the crazy, once loose strings of his moral narrative and begins to pull it all together.
I think a significant part of the magic, for me, of 'Great Expectations' is found in the minor characters. Everyone from Uncle Pumblechook, Miss Havisham, & Mr Jaggers, to Mr. Wemmick and the Aged Parent (the Aged P.) could be the center of their own Dickens novel; each life is given a warmth (or where there lacks warmth, a round coldness) that keeps the novel propelled on.
You can't have a Dickens novel without a little bit of melodrama and a bit of Victorian moralizing. However, with 'Great Expectations', Dickens does this with a soft touch. He isn't as confrontational about social ills as he is in 'Hard Times' or 'Oliver Twist' and he isn't as melodramatic as he was in 'Tale of Two Cities', but even so, I completely enjoyed this gentle, more muted Dickens.
"Spooky how Roth bends the edge of the possible"
Reading Roth is almost a spooky, sexual experience. I say that knowing this will sound absurd, trite and probably hyperbolic. But with Roth, his words are imbued with an almost carnal power, a spectral courage, energy and life. IT is like watching an absurdly talented musician do things with an instrument/with sound that bends the edge of possible.
Reading Roth, I can understand how the audience in Paganini 's time wanted to burn the man for witchcraft, feared the man for his deal with the Devil. I'm not sure who Roth sold his soul to, but Roth's run of novels: Operation Shylock (1993) Sabbath's Theater (1995) >> American Pastoral (1997) >> I Married a Communist (1998) >> The Human Stain (2000) can only be thought of as the greatest series of novels produced by ANY writer at anytime. Maybe Shakespeare had a better run. Maybe Proust. Maybe. For me, these five novels, ending with 'The Human Stain' are the apex of 20th Century writing. Spooky.
"A Pirate's Life Indeed."
While I enjoyed the book and my kids were entertained, like a lot of 19th century adventure stories I am more impressed by its staying power and influence than the story or writing itself.
The strength of 'Treasure Island' is its characters. Even minor players in this pirate/treasure/tropical adventure story are fascinating. The plot had enough ups and downs and twists to entertain, but like Jules Verne's and H.G. Wells' minor novels, Stevenson's writing just wasn't interesting enough to draw me back for a second draft.
Neil Hunt's narration was varied enough for the characters without being overly distracting from the story.
"Informative & Entertaining Memoir >|< Myth"
Haney's memoir of Delta Force is one of those influential military memoirs that sets the bar for future warrior authors. You can see its influence on the recent 'No Easy Day' (the memoir by one of the Navy Seals who hunted and killed OBL) and countless other minor trooper tales. That isn't to say this is a perfect memoir, nor a perfect history of Delta Force.
The very nature of Delta opererators, and the unit they served in, practically requires that memoirs of Delta Force (and the SF or Navy Seals) will always be viewed as partial truths, shaded stories, rumor, and myth. But like David Hackworth's 'About Face' before, this memoir is informative and entertaining. It is a single data point but shouldn't be taken as the gospel of anything, just a single (slightly biased) retelling of one man's memory of how things in a very elite military unit functioned.
"Beautiful, unsentimental memoir of youth"
One of my favorite memoirs of all time. IT was perfect in its pacing, its pitch. It was a beautiful, but unsentimental look at youth, poverty, family, and all the cracks and fissures that the world creates to swallow the dreams of youth. Wolff's language still rings with me. I find myself, going back and reading whole passages of 'This Boy's Life' just to drink the language and the rub against the energy and charge of Wolff's vitality. A good memoirist gets the reader to experience the artist's past life through his words, a great memoirist seduces the reader into a place where the reader suddenly recognizes the universal experiences in our shared lives.
There were parts of the book I felt like Tobias Wolff was not writing his history, but mine. The details of our lives might have been different, our stories might be adolescent antipoles, but I read Wolff and I think he has robbed me of my emotions, faked my youthful hope, slandered my stripling reputation, and squandered all of my schoolboy potential.
"Let's explore HOOTers with diabetics."
While I enjoyed this collection more than Sedaris' previous book 'Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk', it just didn't rise to the levels of his great collections ('Naked' or 'Me Talk Pretty Someday'), or even his very good collections ('When You Are Engulfed in Flames' or 'Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim'). I just feel like he is retreading the same ground, picking up the same litter, and is starting that phase in his career where he is like a band from the 80s that isn't creating as much as exploiting his better work.
I hope I am being overly pessimistic, and maybe I am just jaded from the horrible audio experience my wife and I had last night listening to him at Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, AZ, but it seems that the reading typified my feelings about his book. Sedaris was reading to a comfortable group in comfortable shoes, reading comfortable stories. We all laughed at the appropriate parts, we all knew what we expected and David Sedaris delivered the goods -- mostly.
The audio quality wasn't great, but I walked away mostly amused that I somehow ended up parting with 1 credit at Audible, $15 bucks on Amazon, $45 for a live reading, and while mildly entertained ... I wasn't particularly blown away. It was like I was a beer-bellied, middle-aged man at a Journey concert. I figure I didn't pay for the new set, just for the couple hours of nostalgia at how great it was ten or twenty years ago. Now, I've just got to figure out now how much nostalgia will cost me tomorrow.
"Throwing chert boulders at the dark center"
I keep reading Cormac McCarthy to find a single crack of light in his dark, grotesque lyricism. 'Outer Dark' as a novel is unconventional and amazing. The story was allegorical without being stiff, it was regional without being provincial. Like most all of McCarthy's work, it is Biblical in its power and intensity.
In 'Outer Dark', McCarthy is throwing chert boulders at the dark center of the Universe. He isn't interested in little themes. Even in his small books he is taking on ideas as large and slippery as fate, guilt, agency, and God. Structurally, Outer Dark was drum-tight. The prose and the vernacular/archaic dialogue were both crisp and amazing. 'Outer Dark' is prose art at a high-level and it scared the literary Hell out of me.
