Read an Excerpt
A Grief Observed
Chapter One
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear. I am not afraid, but the sensation is like being afraid. The same fluttering in the stomach, the same restlessness, the yawning. I keep on swallowing.
At other times it feels like being mildly drunk, or concussed. There is a sort of invisible blanket between the world and me. I find it hard to take in what anyone says. Or perhaps, hard to want to take it in. It is so uninteresting. Yet I want the others to be about me. I dread the moments when the house is empty. If only they would talk to one another and not to me.
There are moments, most unexpectedly, when something inside me tries to assure me that I don't really mind so much, not so very much, after all. Love is not the whole of a man's life. I was happy before I ever met H. I've plenty of what are called 'resources.' People get over these things. Come, I shan't do so badly. One is ashamed to listen to this voice but it seems for a little to be making out a good case. Then comes a sudden jab of red-hot memory and all this 'commonsense' vanishes like an ant in the mouth of a furnace.
On the rebound one passes into tears and pathos. Maudlin tears. I almost prefer the moments of agony. These are at least clean and honest. But the bath of self-pity, the wallow, the loathsome sticky-sweet pleasure of indulging it that disgusts me. And even while I'm doing it I know it leads me to misrepresent H. herself. Give that mood its head and in a few minutes I shall have substituted for the real woman a mere doll to be blubbered over. Thank God the memory of her is still too strong (will it always be too strong?)to let me get away with it.
For H. wasn't like that at all. Her mind was lithe and quick and muscular as a leopard. Passion, tenderness, and pain were all equally unable to disarm it. It scented the first whiff of cant or slush; then sprang, and knocked you over before you knew what was happening. How many bubbles of mine she pricked! I soon learned not to talk rot to her unless I did it for the sheer pleasure and there's another red-hot jab of being exposed and laughed at. I was never less silly than as H.'s lover.
And no one ever told me about the laziness of grief. Except at my job where the machine seems to run on much as usual I loathe the slightest effort. Not only writing but even reading a letter is too much. Even shaving. What does it matter now whether my cheek is rough or smooth? They say an unhappy man wants distractions something to take him out of himself. Only as a dog-tired man wants an extra blanket on a cold night; he'd rather lie there shivering than get up and find one. It's easy to see why the lonely become untidy, finally, dirty and disgusting.
Meanwhile, where is God? This is one of the most disquieting symptoms. When you are happy, so happy that you have no sense of needing Him, so happy that you are tempted to feel His claims upon you as an interruption, if you remember yourself and turn to Him with gratitude and praise, you will be or so it feels welcomed with open arms. But go to Him when your need is desperate, when all other help is vain, and what do you find? A door slammed in your face, and a sound of bolting and double bolting on the inside. After that, silence. You may as well turn away. The longer you wait, the more emphatic the silence will become. There are no lights in the windows. It might be an empty house. Was it ever inhabited? It seemed so once. And that seeming was as strong as this. What can this mean? Why is He so present a commander in our time of prosperity and so very absent a help in time of trouble?
I tried to put some of these thoughts to C. this afternoon. He reminded me that the same thing seems to have happened to Christ: 'Why hast thou forsaken me?' I know. Does that make it easier to understand?
Not that I am (I think) in much danger of ceasing to believe in God. The real danger is of coming to believe such dreadful things about Him. The conclusion I dread is not 'So there's no God after all,' but 'So this is what God's really like. Deceive yourself no longer.'
Our elders submitted and said, 'Thy will be done.' How often had bitter resentment been stifled through sheer terror and an act of love yes, in every sense, an act put on to hide the operation?
Of course it's easy enough to say that God seems absent at our greatest need because He is absent non-existent. But then why does He seem so present when, to put it quite frankly, we don't ask for Him?
One thing, however, marriage has done for me. I can never again believe that religion is manufactured out of our unconscious, starved desires and is a substitute for sex. For those few years H. and I feasted on love, every mode of it solemn and merry, romantic and realistic, sometimes as dramatic as a thunderstorm, sometimes as comfortable and unemphatic as putting on your soft slippers. No cranny of heart or body remained unsatisfied. If God were a substitute for love we ought to have lost all interest in Him. Who'd bother about substitutes when he has the thing itself? But that isn't what happens. We both knew we wanted something besides one another quite a different kind of something, a quite different kind of want...A Grief Observed. Copyright (c) by C. Lewis .

C.S. Lewis put into the writing the very things I felt, but could not express, in my own grief. I felt less alone - less hopeless after getting a glimpse into another Christian's pain and suffering. It is a short book - a collection of random thoughts he jotted down after his wife died of cancer. Easy for someone grieving to read, as concentrating is often difficult at such times. I underlined half the book, I found it so relevant to my own situation.
I found my husband and son murdered, most books on grief I tried to read were useless and trite. This is the only one that even came close to describing the pain I felt and how totally lost I was.
C. S. Lewis was a great thinker, but in this book, he is entirely human. Unafraid to face the baffling questions we face when dealing with grief, Lewis goes on a heartfelt search for a faith that can withstand the deepest travails. A very fast read, but a life affirming one. I have found it difficult to find books that really speak to the journey of grieving, but this one is up to the task.
C.S. Lewis captures the process of grieving in such an amazing way. The culmination of his experience where he learns he must move his loss of his wife from his head to his heart is certain to provoke others on a similar journey to make this life altering change.
Prior to reading this short book, I read the Problem of Pain by C.S. Lewis, which addressed the intellectual, philosophical aspects. But as he notes in the introduction to that book, "[W]hen pain is to be borne, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all." In Grief Observed, C.S. Lewis writes with brutal honesty the subjective experience of pain that he feels at the loss of his wife. And by the end, I got the sense that he really understood, really experienced what it meant to love God through our pain. I believe that this book will be helpful to those who may be experiencing suffering in their lives. It may also help those who are trying to help those who are suffering.
A Grief Observed was originally written under a pseudonym (N.W. Clerk) and is a chronicle in journal form of the emotions experienced by Lewis after the death of his wife from bone cancer. It is haunting and beautiful and heartbreaking all at once. If you've lost a loved one, there is something in this book that you can identify with. It's a fairly quick read, if you read it straight through. I think I spent a total of about 45 minutes on the entirety. However, this isn't a book that you read once, straight through and put away. I will be keeping this one on my shelf and pulling it out for days (and years) to come. I can already tell it's going to be like his others - books that I enjoy over and over again and gain something from every time I pick them up. I particularly appreciated (enjoyed isn't a word you'd want to use to describe this type of book, although it is so beautiful it's hard to say I didn't enjoy it) the way we see Lewis progress through his doubt. If you weren't aware, Lewis was a Christian and this book chronicles how he reconciles a loving God with the suffering and death of his dear wife. The book is divided into four parts, and Lewis progresses through anger at God, questioning of his faith, and the hurt from well-meaning friends quoting cliches in an effort to comfort him. The foreward by Madeleine L'Engle perfectly describes the book. She writes about how your experience with grief may not be the same as Lewis's, but you can identify with what he writes no matter how your experience differs. A Grief Observed is intensely personal, and makes no effort to document the human experience of grief or make any broad statements about the state of grief. Rather, it details one person's experience with the loss of his beloved. It is beautiful and touching and I promise you will not be sorry you read it.
Through the use of journals, A Grief Observed invites the reader into the mind of a grieving C.S. Lewis as he struggles in dealing with the tragic death of his wife. The four separate entries all portray the various stages of anguish that Lewis endures; as well as his constantly changing mindset as he draws certain beliefs into question. At the beginning of the book, the reader is met with a harsh criticism of religion and faith as Lewis criticizes God himself. He accuses God of being cruel and abandoning people when they need him the most. However, as the journals progress, the effects that grief has on Lewis's mind become more evident. Lewis slowly becomes a, "saner man" as his sorrow begins to fade. His thoughts become more reasonable throughout the story, and he even regrets making some of the harsh accusations he made previously in the journal. Ultimately, by the end of the book, the reader is able to sympathize with Lewis in his difficult struggle in dealing with his wife's tragic death from cancer. A Grief Observed isn't written like a traditional piece of nonfiction literature. As a matter of fact, the basic and simplified manner in which it is written actually adds to the experience of the reader. It gives the audience a clearer and more realistic view of some of the different emotions that Lewis was feeling during his grieving process. Personally, I read the book in one sitting and found it to be an easy read. As a fan of C.S. Lewis's fiction material, such as The Chronicles of Narnia, it was very interesting to see the author deal with a real-life situation, and read his mixed thoughts and feelings regarding the tragedy. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the reading the book. However, while most of the text was relatively easy to read, I did find that a few passages proved to be repetitive at times. For instance, in certain passages, Lewis repeats many of his same thoughts and tends to ramble on, but it is hard to criticize him for writing his honest feelings. Ultimately, I would recommend this book to anyone who has recently suffered from the loss of a loved one as I found this book to be comforting to read.
C. S. Lewis dares to rant, rave, question and complain. I loved it!
I read this a month after my own wife's death. I found Lewis's sharing of his grief to be comforting.I found his honesty to be refreshing. You do not needto be a Christian or religious to benefit from this book. I also enjoyed the afterword by Walsh. It helped to put Lewis's book into the context of his life.
Every line was exactly what I was trying to get out, to explain, to understand myself. I felt someone was in my mind, accurately getting my thoughts and feelings and observations out on paper. It was such a relief to read...knowing I had not gone crazy, and was not alone!
C.S. Lewis expresses his grief no-holds-barred. Very realistic in expressing the despair, anger, and huge questions regarding suffering and why. His conclusions are not crystal clear as is the mystery of life itself not comprehendible, but it is a comfort to know someone has written so powerfully regarding loss.
This book is an achingly honest, raw, and heart-felt cry of pain that mirrors the experience of anyone struggling with grief and loss. The writing is lyrical, the emotions beautifully expressed. While he pulls no punches, the conclusion is utterly satisfying. Written by one of the greatest minds in history, it was a great comfort to me when I needed it the most.
An honest look at grief and shows that he is "real". Really helped me deal and take a look at how I really feel about my grief and to be honest about it. A book for those grieving and ready to work on it
CS Lewis' reflections and thoughts are beautifully and insightfully drawn. This work is more than a starting point for the hardship of gripping with what comes after death. Insightful.
The works of C.S. Lewis are remarkable in their volume as much as their depth. Lewis is not afraid to explore the difficult and reason within his faith for solutions. His discussions and prepositions are remarkably candid, taking so much in to introspect while not shrinking from faith or foundations. The read is more than helpful for life, whether one is dealing with grief or not. The truths are universal and applicable to life and death. His writing is as timeless as it is provocative. Few times in his in works is his heart more exposed.
Just what my husband needed when his mother passed away. What else can I say?
After mourning the loss of my husbsnd for three years and for every step forward moving three back, this book may have just saved my life. I felt the same feelings, questioned God with the same questions. And C S Lewis answered them all with such clarity doubt has left my mind. Thank You.

Men's hairdressing is a growing portion of the beauty industry, particularly as an increasing number of men look to sport the hottest hairstyles, and male grooming products gain the same momentum as their female counterparts.
While most would assume that complicated hairstyles are reserved for women or girls, complex designs are commonplace in barbers and men's salons as well. Below, we examine some of the latest trends in men's hairdressing, and seek to understand how these (at times) complex hairstyles have made their way into everyday salons.
The man bun
The 'man bun' first entered the male hairstyle scene in late 2013, and became increasingly more popular as time went on. This hairstyle consists of a man growing his hair to a reasonably long length, typically around the shoulder, and tying it into a bun at the crown of his head.
A second, sub-trend that seemed to emerge from the man bun was the 'man bun undercut'. In this trend, men would leave a portion of their hair at the top of their head longer than the rest, and then bun the section above the undercut. The man bun emerged from a niche group of 'hipsters' that were particularly relevant in the music scene. Artists and musicians such as Jared Leto and Harry Styles pioneered this hairstyle, and brought it to the attention of the general public.
The undercut
The 'undercut' can be styled alongside the man bun mentioned above, or created as a hairstyle of its own. The undercut first appeared on the red carpets during the 2014 premier season, with celebrities such as Brad Pitt sporting this unique style. It involves cutting the sides of the hair and leaving a longer section at the top.
The undercut has evolved somewhat, with many men choosing to bleach the portion of hair at the top of the head, or dye each section of the hair different colors. Regardless, the undercut has taken 2016 by storm, and we're unlikely to see it fizzle out before the new year.
The undercut designs
As a continuation of the undercut, 2016 welcomed the 'undercut design' hairstyle. This involves men shaving intricate patterns onto the undercut section just above the neck. This hairstyle was so popular, that women quickly caught on, and began shaving impressive designs into the underside of their head.
This hairstyle the is particularly remarkable, because it differs so wildly from the simplicity and utility that are normally associated with men's hairstyles. If nothing else, the undercut design is an indication of how 2016 was a revolutionary year for men's hair, and one that brought a new design element into the average man's life.
Who knows what the future holds
With 5 months left of 2016, it's difficult to know what the rest of the year holds- let alone what the distant future promises for men's hairstyles. We are eagerly anticipating the next trend, and looking forward to examining the next big hairstyle for men.

NEW YORK (AP) The Yankees have finalized their minor league contract with right-hander Mark Prior (FSY), who is trying to make it back to the major leagues for the first time since 2006.
Still trying to come back from shoulder surgery, Prior spent most of 2010 with an independent minor league team. He could be reunited with former Chicago Cubs teammate Kerry Wood (FSY), who was New York's setup man late in the season and then became a free agent.

Oshie, despite being the Blues' best forward so far, has only two even-strength points. So it's not automatic when attempting to judge that way.
If their powerplay continues to be great and they can draw penalties with regularity, their scoring pace won't take too much of a hit, even if they don't do much 5-on-5. Last year, their powerplay time and total powerplays were both average, and it's actually a bit worse now, but with deeper scoring lines, they should be able to force other teams to draw more penalties without cheating.
. We'll see what reality shakes out, because a super hot streak and a super cold streak is a pretty difficult sample to judge.
I know what you are saying here and agree, but we are talking about being deep and not special teams specialists. There are plenty of teams in the past years that have had great powerplay or PK and not been deep enough to make the playoffs.
What we are looking at here, is how we are at 5 on 5. I love that the Blues have a powerplay that is clicking and their PK is coming along, but it doesn't show us how deep they are and how they score by committee.

Solar Battery Storage Systems
Basics of Battery Storage
Normally a solar photovoltaic (PV) installation only provides energy during the day with generation from the sun. So any excess energy produced is sold to the grid at a low price and then when power is needed at night, it's bought back at a much higher price.
A solar battery storage system provides the opportunity to use more of the green electricity generated, and benefit by increasing 'self-use' from around 50% to 85% or more, helping save money on energy bills.
Some solar battery storage systems can also provide emergency backup power in case of a power cut, helping make the property more independent from the grid.
We can provide battery storage solutions as part of your GB-Sol Solar system. We can supply everything you need from the battery itself to DC cabling and a compatible inverter.
And even if a solar battery storage system doesn't seem right just yet, we can provide a solar panel system that is easily upgraded to include a battery in the future. Therefore, savings on your energy costs can be started now with the option to maximise this later.
The Benefits
Depending on the size of the PV system, a battery can fully charge with a few hours of direct sunlight. Once charged, any excess renewable energy produced will be exported to the grid. When more electricity is being consumed than produced, energy will be released from the battery.
Only when this is depleted will energy be bought from the grid, reducing the reliance on energy companies and giving better protection from ever increasing electricity costs which could see prices be up to double that of today by 2030.
(Information provided is a rough indication for illustrative purposes)
Lithium or Lead-acid?
We can supply either Lithium or Lead-acid batteries depending on your requirements. While Lithium batteries are smaller, quicker to charge and have a longer life expectancy, they have a higher initial cost. When comparing the two, it's important to look at the available kWh and not the listed size as Lithium batteries will have a higher depth of discharge.
Here is a quick overview of the differences between the two:
|Initial cost of System
|Cost of system over 10-15 years
|Around 70% smaller
|Around 70% larger
|Around a third of the weight
|Around three times heavier
|more efficient
|less efficient
|Installed capacity
|Usable capacity
(Information provided is a rough indication for illustrative purposes)
AC or DC Coupling?
We can also offer both AC and DC coupling systems. AC coupling has higher array-to-load efficiency if demand occurs at the same time as solar production with DC coupling giving a better array-to-load efficiency if demand requires the energy to be stored for later use. Therefore, the selection may depend on the habits of the occupants of the property.
For further comparison:
|AC coupled
|DC coupled
|Power Cut Usage
|Reduce Feed in tariff
|Possibly very slightly
|Efficiency During Usage from Panels
|Efficiency During Usage from Battery
|Installation Cost
|More expensive
|Materials Cost
|More expensive
|Ease of Installation
|More complex
(Information provided is a rough indication for illustrative purposes)
Sizing the System
The size of the battery required will depend on the reasons for installing one as well as daily usage and available space. Most power cuts last less than an hour so if the main focus is to protect against these, a small battery may be sufficient. If enough electricity needs to be stored to cover the entire evening, what's required will differ greatly depending on the average evening energy consumption. If the home needs to be more self-sufficient and store enough energy to last a few days and be more or less off-grid, a much larger storage battery would be required. Again the exact size of the system will vary according to individual demand.
Individual Requirements
We can help discuss your requirements and come up with the right solar battery storage system. We can also look at the payback periods and expected return.
We work with many manufacturers so we can build the system to meet your individual requirements and are able to build customised controls and interfaces with smart buildings.
We cover installation of battery systems in our one-day training course which is free for installers and those in the solar industry. See here for more information GB-Sol Training Courses.

Of Hillary, Muppets, and Men

And the first person on the right who makes a fuss about this needs to be sedated. Promptly. As you may remember, conservatives have something of a history with the Muppets.

Kate Winslet Saves Richard Branson's Mom from Fire at Necker Island
Hurricane Irene is sweeping across the Caribbean, heading straight towards the Southeast United States, leaving lots of damage in its wake. Even Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island-- a favorite private island retreat for celebrities-- has not escaped the storm's wrath. The resort's 14-bedroom "Great House" caught fire from a lightning storm caused by the hurricane. Kate Winslet, who was staying in the house with her children, reportedly rescued the British magnate's 90 year old mom from the fire. Branson explained: "She said it's like being in a film set where you're waiting for the words 'cut' but they just don't come. So it was quite surreal for her to be in a real-life situation." Located in the British Virgin Islands, Necker Island was the setting for the 2010 Victoria's Secret Catalogue shoot and is a playground for royalty and Hollywood stars. (Google's co-founder Larry Page was married there in 2007.) Branson is planning to rebuild the house ASAP.

Max Cleland is a former Senator from Georgia who lost three limbs in the Vietnam War. He was hailed as a war hero, until Ann Coulter revealed the shocking truth: Cleland injured himself to help Democrats win elections![1]
Cleland is unpatriotic, there's no wheeling around it. Not so much cut and run as he is sever and roll.
He came to national attention in the 2002 Congressional elections, when his opponent Saxby Chambliss ran an ad pairing his image with Osama Bin Laden's. There was, of course, no attempt on Chambliss' part to compare the two, he was simply making a point about... OH MY GOD! CLELAND IS FRIENDS WITH BIN LADEN! KILL HIM!

Fantastic service, great food and yummy prosecco.

The first eponymously named Drake & Morgan restaurant has arrived in style. Designed to be an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, Drake and Morgan at King's Cross is just that. Dine within the glass-fronted restaurant, or out on the cosy terrace equipped with heaters and blankets.
The Drake & Morgan menu ranges from British classic beer-battered fish and chips, to prawn lollipops and a wagyu burger with blue cheese. Succulent steaks are served with chips, watercress and a choice of sauce, while a breakfast and brunch menu offers a variety of options from around the world.
The scene shifts into a lively imbibing den downstairs, with a circular bar as the centrepiece and a DJ booth for occasions. The drinks menu is substantial, and the innovative cocktails are particularly impressive.
London's Drake & Morgan is a diverse destination, whether for a quick lunch, a relaxed dinner or sophisticated post-work cocktails. Every weekend there is a bottomless brunch, and mixology classes are available too. King's Cross Station is just a 4-minute walk away.

Enjoyed it, food was great and atmosphere was really good, lovely space and very near the station
((((* 2 juni 2016 av James Datlen från London
Booking was smooth and reassuring that you get confirmation from the restaurant too! On arrival, front of house were "extra mile" helpful, taking suitcases and storing them. Servers were prompt in seeing that we had refreshments while we chose our food from the menu. There was a Set menu in addition to the standard menu on offer. TOP RECOMMENDATION: Cowboy Fries (5*)
In conclusion; a really nice vibe, it's not cheap but great value. All of the restaurant team are exceptionally professional. recomended!

Lively venue with great service but disappointing food

We ordered the cheeseburger off the two course menu deal and the burgers came out cold and burnt. Even the burger buns were slightly burnt.
When my friend mentioned it to the waiter, he quickly brushed over it and moved away.
((((* 22 april 2016 av Stefanos Theoharis från London
Very nice restaurant and excellent service.
The weakest link in the experience is bookatable.com. The restaurant had no record of my reservation. They nonetheless found and offered a table to us, despite the fact they were full.
(((** 20 april 2016 av Emma Payne från Harpe
It was a lovely atmosphere with lots of space between tables but I felt the menu was a bit pedestrian and overpriced for what you got.

Excellent food, excellent service and a very enjoyable experience. Reasonably priced.

I was 20 min late and they have given the table away. Inside was very noisy- probably the people were trying to shout over the loud music. Nice decorated

text: http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story...ware-demarco-murray-dallas-cowboys-likely-out Why would we not go with Tanner?? To be honest, I've liked how Tanner's looked every time he's touched the ball the past three seasons. Runs with a lot of speed, and intensity. Never gives up, and from what I can see, we have no reason to believe he will be one to give the ball up. I'm just not exactly sure about how I feel giving all of the work to a rookie. I see critical mistakes being made, which... as we all know in this game, are going to be very significant to the outcome. And this, I know, has absolutely nothing to do with him as a RB, but - Doesn't he kind of look like a safety, or a corner, or DB to any of you? Lol, not sure why I feel like that, but when I was looking at him last game, I just feel like he doesn't look anything at all like a RB, and should be somewhere on the defensive side of the ball.

Thats so awesome!
This is cool! You've almost drawn them in a similar style to the Monkey Island styling of characters in I think the 4th installment of the game... Really cool and really funny!
haha ... so funny, their expressions are sure weird.
Do like! I would love it though, if they were in your usual style, but still - this is great. ^^
Wow, this is SO silly! I like it!
OMZ! So freakin' hilarious! They're perfect in those parts!
Oh. My. God. I actually started laughing out loud. This is possibly the best Phoenix Requiem spoof, ever. Beats your Dr. Who one

"Things," he says, "have worked out better than I could have imagined."
The sands of Greece were equally unforgiving to Dax Holdren, Metzger's former partner. But as he sits on Manhattan Beach's soft sand after a morning workout at the famed Marine Street courts, he couldn't have a warmer glow about him. (Related item: Vet Kiraly still a factor)
"Things," he says, "are going good and getting better."
Of course, making a living with sand between your toes is almost always a good thing. But for Metzger and Holdren, this year has proved to be not only fun but also redemptive.
They wasted no time in splitting up after last year's Olympics, and they've wasted no time in reclaiming their reputations as two of the best all-around players on the beach.
Metzger and his new partner, Jake Gibb, the AVP's latest blocking sensation, are the Nissan Series tour's No. 1-ranked men's duo, winners of three of seven events this season.
Holdren and his new partner, Jeff Nygaard, the 2003 AVP most valuable player, are ranked No. 2, winners of one tournament and three times a runner-up.
They'll be among the favorites this weekend in the AVP's Hermosa Beach Open, separate men's and women's tournaments NBC will televise live Saturday (men's final) and Sunday (women's final).
Stuck together
As Olympic partners last year, Metzger, 32, of Manhattan Beach and Holdren, 32, of Santa Barbara were a mismatched set, two smallish (both 6-3) defensive players forced to play together by a combination of beach volleyball's never-ending soap opera of partner switches and the international volleyball federation's method of qualifying for the Olympics.
HERMOSA BEACH, Calif. One of the beach volleyball contenders to watch during this weekend's Hermosa Beach Open can certainly count experience on his side.
He played in his first final at Hermosa 27 years ago.
Twenty-seven years.
Karch Kiraly is now 44. The three-time Olympic gold medalist (1984 and '88 indoors, '96 beach) is the all-time winningest beach pro, with 147 tournament titles.
He won three times last year at the age of 43, another record.
He struggled early this year recovering from shoulder surgery and, after three tournaments, was dumped by partner Mike Lambert.
But with new partner Adam Jewell, Kiraly has finished fifth twice, including two victories against Lambert.
So, could he win No. 148, and his seventh Hermosa title, this weekend?
"I wouldn't count him out," tour star Dax Holdren says. "Karch is Karch."
Kiraly's first big beach breakthrough came at Hermosa in 1978. As a 17-year-old who had just graduated from high school, he shocked Hermosa onlookers by reaching the final, where he and Marco Ortega lost to then-dominant Jim Menges and Greg Lee.
After the final, as was the custom, everyone adjourned to the Poop Deck, a landmark watering hole.
Kiraly says he had two Cokes.
For most of the next 28 years, Kiraly has been the biggest story in volleyball. But now the big news on the sand is the women's team of Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor, the reigning Olympic gold medalists.
Walsh and May-Treanor are so hot that NBC, for the first time in its history of telecasting the sport, will move the men's final from Sunday to Saturday. The women's final, traditionally shown Saturday, takes the prime Sunday spot.
Kiraly wonders how Hermosa's hard-core fans will take to no men's play Sunday.
"The men can't be upset, not the way they performed at Athens (fifth and 19th)," says Kiraly, who will be doing commentary for NBC this weekend (unless, of course, he's in Saturday's final). "Misty and Kerri are the big attraction now." By David Leon Moore
A year before the Olympics, they had been dumped by their previous partners, Metzger by Kevin Wong and Holdren by 2000 gold medalist Eric Fonoimoana.
So, in Athens, seeded 12th, they carried the unofficial nickname "The Dumpees."
To no one's surprise, they didn't win a medal, though their fifth-place finish was better than many expected. Coupled with the surprisingly weak 19th-place effort by Dain Blanton and Nygaard, the U.S. men were a washout after having won gold medals in the previous two Olympics.
Holdren and Metzger knew they had little chance in Athens, acknowledging that each would do much better with a different, bigger partner. But they couldn't switch partners in 2004 because they had all but guaranteed themselves a spot in the Olympics by finishing second together in an unbelievable performance in the World Championships in late 2003, their first international tournament together.
If they had switched partners after that, they would have surrendered all their Olympic qualification points as a team and would have had no shot at getting to the Olympics.
So they were stuck together, like it or not. Off the court, they loved it, growing to be close friends. On the court, it was a constant struggle to match up at the net with teams that, in recent years, almost always have a 6-7 or 6-8 blocker.
Even if they played a near-flawless game, and they sometimes did, one or two big blocks against them could turn a match.
"We were the consummate underdogs," Metzger says. "We got dumped, kicked around. It was us against the world. We had to just strap on our boots and go after it. We didn't feel like we had a whole lot of support from anyone in the volleyball world, including the media.
"That's why we became so close. When you're the underdog, and it seems like everything's against you and you're just battling uphill all the time and the only person you have to rely on is your partner, you become really close."
Even as they tried together to win a medal, they knew their partnership would end after the Olympics.
"We really shouldn't have been playing together," Holdren says. "But I can't be sorry for getting there. We did the best we could, played as well as we could. And I had a great time. I got to bring my wife and kids. It was amazing, walking in the opening ceremonies and all that stuff."
Better this year
Immediately after the closing ceremonies, both started thinking about the 2005 season — and finding a big guy.
They both hit pay dirt. In the 6-7, 29-year-old Gibb, Metzger has a partner who is powerful, athletic and still just learning the game. An oddity in the sport, Gibb never played college volleyball, picking up the game in his backyard in Utah when he was 21.
"I think they used a garden hose for the lines," Metzger says.
In the 6-8, 32-year-old Nygaard, who himself was dumped after the Olympics by Blanton, Holdren has a veteran partner who is playing much better this year after an admittedly poor 2004 season.
This is redemptive for Nygaard, too. "I have a lot of regrets about last year," he says. "Dain and I had the potential to win an Olympic medal, and the bottom line is we just didn't play well."
The first two tournaments this season helped erase a lot of the pain of all involved. Both times Metzger/Gibb and Holdren/Nygaard reached the final, with Metzger/Gibb winning both.
"We'd get to the final and look at each other across the net and say, 'How cool is this?' " Metzger says.
In the fourth tournament of the year, in Holdren's hometown of Santa Barbara, Calif., he and Nygaard won their first tournament together.
Together, Holdren and Metzger battled adversity and forged a great friendship. Apart, they've forged the sport's two best teams.
"If we'd had these two teams at the Olympics, we probably would have had some strong results in Athens," says veteran star Karch Kiraly, a three-time volleyball gold medalist. "I'm happy for them. They're back playing at the level everyone knew they were capable of, just not together."
