Forgotten authors No.40: BS Johnson
We had to reach him sooner or later. BS Johnson is the ultimate forgotten author, born in 1933, dead at 40, beloved by critics, overlooked by the public. He didn't write much – seven slender novels of increasing peculiarity, a handful of plays and short stories – but enough to set him at the forefront of the British avant-garde. He was an unashamed experimentalist frustrated by linear storytelling, who rejected the Dickensian limitations of the novel, earning the gratitude of Anthony Burgess and the enmity of Peter Ayckroyd. Perhaps he was born too early; how he would have loved the playfulness of the internet.
I first encountered his work in my late teens, in Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry (with its gruesome cover of a man shaving a woman's breasts). At just 115 pages, the 1973 novel was entrancing. Malry works in a bank and attempts to run his life according to a bookkeeping system, but soon discovers that life debits far more than it credits, and he must increasingly resort to acts of terrorism in order to keep his account in balance. To clear his debts, he poisons half of Hammersmith, but life takes revenge in the form of cancer. It was a high-concept idea to fall in love with, poorly served by a belated film version.
House Mother Normal (1971) described a bizarre social evening in an old people's home from the perspectives of the eight inhabitants, in decreasing order of their lucidity. It's still shocking and moving. The Unfortunates (1969) is the infamous "book in a box", its chapters presented unbound so that the reader can choose them in any order. Beneath this, it's a fairly straightforward meditation on death and friendship, told through memories. Albert Angelo (1964) has a hole cut in some pages, to reveal a future event in the book's later pages.
As interested in typography and the |use of blank spaces as he was in words, Johnson is unique; a product of the self-indulgent 1960s, perhaps, but we need |to be tested by such writers. Johnson's collection Aren't You Rather Young to Be Writing Your Memoirs? is poetic, passionate and strangely conversational. He wrote about and filmed his own life, and, like Joe Orton, we will always wonder where he would have gone next. Four of his novels have been reprinted, but best of all is Jonathan Coe's miraculous biography Like a Fiery Elephant, which replicates Johnson's idiosyncratic style while illuminating his short life.

Cooking Task You Detest the Most?
- 321 Comments
- Follow
I'm generally not in to chopping, slicing and dicing.
And the worst items to C, S and D are cabbage--which makes a hell of a mess--and pork--which has a feel simultaneously slimy, gritty and sinewy--that I very much dislike.
Suffice it to say that a dish requiring loads of shredded cabbage and diced pork is a prep-work nightmare for yours truly.
Which cooking task most rubs you the wrong way?
Love chopping/slicing/dicing except for nuts.
Despise deveining shrimp, absolutely hate doing it. Cutting up whole fryers is kind of a slimy mess too.
re: Val
I forgot... HATE washing lettuce/spinach whatever, don't know why. It's okay with a salad spinner, but I have to monkey around to get it down and I'm usually to lazy. Hate this the most.
re: corneygirl
I also detest washing salad greens, even with a salad spinner. Can't explain it.
re: cakewhole
I third it. In fact, I hate making green salads, period (no trouble with pasta, potato, tuna or chicken). I can't explain it; maybe because it's in the "serve immediately" category, and by the time I've done the rest of the dinner, all I can handle is tomatoes thown on top of PREWASHED lettuce..?
re: Michelly
It's really not that hard to wash lettuce, but we go without salad just because we're too lazy prepare it. My mom always had us kids make the green salad. Hmmmm, guess she didn't like washing the lettuce either.
re: shastadaisy
salad making was also my chore -- that and setting the table.
0 -
re: shastadaisy
It's not that it's hard, it's just that it's a pain in the tuckus to wash and dry every single leaf even if you have a salad spinner.
re: corneygirl
When I worked at a pizza place when I was in college, I was often called upon to make salads. Being a pizza joint who primarily did deliveries (with a few tables), we didn't sell a lot of salads, though the owner of the joint would buy enormous bags filled with romaine lettuce. Needless to say, most of the lettuce would go bad.
He would send me into the back to make a salad, and I would discover every single head of lettuce was completely rotten, slimy through and through. And he would say, "You go back there and find a salad in that bag". And I would. Half a piece from one head, to pieces from the next head. It was disgusting.
To this day, I refuse to make salad at home. If we're having salad, my wife makes it.
re: Val
Val is right on the money about deveining shrimp. So slow and irritating. Add that to the shelling and making sure you got all the little legs off....phoooey!
I actually groove on the chopping, slicing and dicing. I feel like I've really accomplished something when all the preps in their own little piles. I don't mind prepping, shelling and de-veining shrimp either, that Val despises. Some music, a bottle of beer, a towel to wipe off on and it can be very zen.
What I REALLY, REALLY dread is chopping onions! Gah! The tears, the snot, the pain! Sheesh! I don't even LIKE them, so when I prepare a dish with onions it's truly a labor of love.
re: JerryMe
Wear swim goggles. No tears whatsoever. Before I discovered that I hated chopping onions too; now it's no problem.
re: Parrotgal
lol the image ofsomeonein a kitchen wearing googles and chopping onions is hilarious
re: kpaxonite
I use an old pair of snowboarding googles. They're very stylish.
0 -
re: kpaxonite
Actually, I've tried goggles. I still cry except the tears fill up the goggles. I've tried the chill before cutting. I still cry. I've tried the "cut from this side first" and the "cut from that side first". I still cried. I even tried the touch of Vick's Vapo-Rub under my nose that someone recommended. Oniony, Vicksy tears and snot.
Onions are simply a labor of love only, now.
re: JerryMe
"Oniony, Vicksy tears and snot."
yum.have you tried cutting them under water?
the only other suggestion i'll offer is to make sure your knife is as sharp as possible. a dull knife will merely bruise the flesh and release more of the tear-causing vapors.
re: goodhealthgourmet
I was going to make the same suggestion- a very sharp knife really reduces the amount of vapors released and makes onion chopping much more enjoyable- thats usually how I know its time to sharpen my knives!

re: goodhealthgourmet
Also if your knife is REALLY sharp, the chore is over much more quickly.
re: goodhealthgourmet
OR use a mandoline to get quick thin slices of onion (i.e., for caramelized onions, as I'll be doing today for my beef stew). If you need to chop them, you could do so then.
And USE THE FINGER GUARD they give you with the mandoline, for heaven's sake! :-)
re: JerryMe
i simply learned to not lean over the onions, it makes a huge difference.
try to stand as upright as possible and even lean your head away.0 -
re: JerryMe
I have a small fan that I use just for this purpose! It is one of those little fans with no case and fabric "blades" so it is totally safe to have around. Anyway, I turn it on and blow it across the cutting board left to right when I chop onions. No tears!
re: BackBite
BackBite: The fan's a great idea. Now if you could just get somebody you don't like to stand "downwind".... mWAHAHAHAhahahah
re: JerryMe
If you have a working and modestly powerful stove hood (that actually sucks air up and outside as opposed to just sending it back into the room as some do), put your cutting board as close as possible to the vent. I just learned this recently and it's fantastic. They hardly affect me at all. And I'm the kind of onion chopper who has to stop half way through because I can't even see out of my scrunched up, teary eyes.

re: JerryMe
Cut them next to gas burners on high. The open flame burns off the acid before it gets to your eyes. Works for me every time!
re: 3foodies
I let the cold water trickle in the sink, peel them under running water and cut them next to the sink. Works somehow, I think the water attracts the amino acid sulfoxide molecules or just washes them away, not allowing them to mix with the water in your tears to form sulfuric acid, which is what burns your eyes.
If you refrigerate your onions, you'll have less chance of them releasing the volatile gases by slowing the reaction of the onion when cut and changing the onion chemistry slightly.
Or just buy thoese cute googles; I just saw a a pair in pink for the ladies.0-
re: bushwickgirl
You are right on the money honey! I run them under cold water first and use a sharp knife so I can chop fast. No tears.
The only time I get teary is in the summer when the kitchen is warm so my onions are warm too - they seem more vapouryish. If I remember I try to stick them in the freezer for 15 minutes before chopping.
re: JerryMe
Contact lenses work, too!
0 -
re: JerryMe
Chilling the onions for 2 hours prior to processing will prevent tearing because the sulfur compounds aren't as volatile.
0 -
re: JerryMe
Try breathing through your open mouth when you're chopping onions. The volatile oils don't bother me at all if I do it that way.
0 -
re: JerryMe
Have you tried using sweet onions? If i use regular onions, I always tear up, but never have a problem with sweet onions.
0 -
re: JerryMe
My brother was working for a knife company, and he said the secret was to breathe through your mouth, and definitely not your nose. Seemed to make some difference.
I used to not make anything with garlic in it because I hated the way it made me smell (I feel like it got into my circulatory system) - I am making progress on this though.
re: Memily_G
it does get into the circulatory system -- and you'll have it smelling from your pores if you eat a *lot*.
re: alkapal
I cleared out the sauna at the gym once the day after a garliky feast. More room for me!
re: Memily_G
Breathing through my mouth has always worked for me.
re: buttertart
I'm a mouth-breather by nature. I'll have to pay attention next time I chop onions to make sure I'm doing so then.
re: JerryMe
That used to be me. A second career in the restaurant business, and now I'm slicing and dicing onions like a pro -- no tears. Some of my peers have agreed with me, do it enough and one develops an immunity.
It may look ridiculous but of all the home remedies I've heard for onion eyes, the goggles are the best!
re: shaogo
Goggles are awesome, unless you're about to host a dinner party! Goggle dents can take a while to go away...
Not sure why my first try was deleted after I saw it post, but I'll try again...
Folding. I hate folding whipped egg whites or whipped cream into anything. A soufflé, a mousse, cake batter, etc. I never know when to stop and usually over-mix and then everything gets deflated and soupy. If I see the words "then fold in" in a recipe, it's usually a deal breaker for me.

The clean up! I can slice, dice, chop, fry, saute, bake, boil, braise, broil, simmer and steam all day long. But I HATE cleaning up my own mess.
re: boyzoma
Putting away the dishes. Don't mind washing and/or drying. Detest putting them away. Same with unloading the d/w.
re: Scott D
Same here. I don't know what it is. I just hate unloading the dishwasher!
re: Rheta
What IS IT about unloading the dishwasher that is so dreadful?? I hate it so badly!! All the dishes and glasses and utensils are so squeaky clean, yet I'll put it off as long as I can! I'm happy to see I'm not the only one!
re: southern_expat
I don't know what's so bad about it. When I was a kid I hated it, but after spending several years living in an apartment without a dishwasher, I find it to be a transcendent - or at least worthwhile - experience!
re: Scott D
Hah! Me too. I thought I was the only one. I don't mind washing dishes, but I simply can't stand putting away the clean dishes.
re: Indirect Heat
Oooh I hate that too. It's that scritchy feeling of dry dishes I hate- and the silverware takes FOREVER, asking the forks to behave and getting all the spoons piled correctly...
re: Boccone Dolce
"asking the forks to behave and getting all the spoons piled correctly"
LOL! i have a serious compulsion about putting away the dishes and silverware, but that's why i *like* to do it myself. everyone else does it wrong.0-
re: goodhealthgourmet
LOL! I think we're twins from different mothers, ghg. Stacking the dishwasher used to be Mom's job until she saw I could do it better. Then it became my job. I can fit more into a dishwasher than anyone else in my family (except my BIL gives me a good run for my money!) Drives me nuts when I see "empty space" in the dishwasher that is being wasted because of poor stacking. LOL!
As for putting away the silverware, I make it easy on myself...each compartment in the silverware carry-all in the dishwasher gets their own type of silverware - knives in one, teaspoons and forks in their own separate (larger) spots (I tend to use more teaspoons and forks than anything else), Tablespoons in their own spot (away from the teaspoons so I don't get them confused when putting them away when they're clean), and small "assorted other" utensils (small butter knives, tongs, etc.) in their own compartment in the dishwasher carryall. And ALL cutlery goes in handle down with the spoon bowls, fork tines, and knife blades UP for cleaning (except sharp knives, of course).
Yes. I know I'm a-r. But I get the silverware put away in less than 30 seconds when I do finally get around to emptying out the dishwasher. :-)
re: LindaWhit
Triplets, I guess. Linda--your silverware d/w loading method and mine are identical. A-R, I guess, but it seems sooo logical :)
I'm a little nutty w/grocery lists too. My friend's husband told her that if she made grocery lists like mine, he wouldn't mind doing the shopping. She teases me, but it just seems logical to organize by section of the store and aisle and even the direction in which the shopper will be moving and include tips for finding what I need--label colors, shelf locations, what's nearby. This eliminates the calls from the store: "They don't have . . ." or "they must be out of . . ." or "they musn't carry . . . ." (My husband has to be the world's worst shopper--or the blindest.)
Yes, I plead guilty to being a-r, but I suppose that's fodder for a whole separate thread.
re: nomadchowwoman
The shopping list thing I got from my mother. It's not an exact science - especially when a supermarket changes where they put things - but it's in an order that most stores have their stuff, so it still works for me. I don't do the direction orientation or which shelf, as I'm the one doing the shopping, but I can see where it would definitely help the grocery-shopping impaired. :-)
re: LindaWhit
harris teeter's shopping list generated from one's selections off the online weekly sale circular is automatically organized according to the store departments. very neat. it's the best online set-up!
re: nomadchowwoman
Me too! My list is very organized. I take it a step further when I am shopping though. I unload my cart in the order that I would like my groceries packed. I put all the cold things together, all the boxes that go in one cupboard together, the tins all together.... they don't always pack it exactly the way I'l like but I manage to not say anthing.
Love your idea about the cutlery - going to make some changes tonight and everyone will get a lesson on dishwasher loading! Thanks
re: Indirect Heat
What IS it about unloading the d/w? I hate it too, but otherwise I love my d/w, and would marry it if that weren't illegal in all 50 states, 10 provinces and three territories.
re: pear tart
Having spent many an hour washing dishes by hand, I'll never complain about anything having to do with a dishwasher. What a labor-saving device it is!
re: Scott D
me too! wonder why is that?? I hate unloading the dishwasher more though, so I've reverted to handwashing, but then there they sit for what I call air drying, and then follow with clean linen wipe. hm come to think about it, I just create more work for myself.
re: boyzoma
I'm with you all the way on that one!
Well, I hate deveining shrimp too, except it is more the thought of deveining since I've never done it. Don't mind most chopping of most anything. Nor do I mind skinning chicken or cutting it into pieces. I think I hate the thought of washing those bunches of large leaved spinach about as much as anything. When I do lentils and spinach, I like the mature stuff, and cleaning it is a pain. I fill one side of the sink and put all the spinach in the water and swish it around. Then I take those center stems out of every sizable leaf. Then, I have to spin the stuff in a salad spinner to take out most of the water. I may also chop it a bit.
Now someone is going to post a really cool and easy method of doing this, and I'm going to be mad I've been doing it the hard way all these years!
re: sueatmo
Oh that is so funny because I, too, have never deveined a shrimp because I know I'll hate it too much!
0 -
re: sueatmo
sueatmo-You're cleaning the spinach the only proper way known to humankind. All the pros do it the same way. You could spare yourself by leaving the stems on, though. They're not that tough, unlike other greens.
0 -
re: sueatmo
I guess I hate deveining shrimps as well. A few is fine, but it get really tiresome soon. Therefore I like to buy big shrimps. Even if I am to diced the shrimp into small bits, I still buy the big ones because there is less deveining :)
I just realize that I am not the only one who use a salad spinner to wash vegetables :) Seriously, no one has ever told me and I looked at that thing and think "Hmm, it looks like a washing machine and I bet I can use it to wash my vegetables".
re: Chemicalkinetics
CK, that's my strategy too--buy the larger shrimp so there's less deveining. Ugh...that darned poopy-vein sticks to everything, it's disgusting and tedious work.
re: Val
:) Gald we agree. So do you devein both the top (back) and the bottom (belly) or just the top? Many people only do the top, but I do both. The bottom (belly) side is more challenging. If it is just the back side, then it is not as bad. :)
re: Chemicalkinetics
i can't speak for Val, but i remove both. why even bother if you're going to leave one in there?
re: goodhealthgourmet
Agree. Yet, I know many people only remove the top (back) one and that one is easier to remove. To remove the bottom (belly) one, I have to partially straighten the shrimp out.
re: Chemicalkinetics
wait.... there's an underside vein too?
are those on all shrimp or just the really big ones?0-
re: AndrewK512
I believe all shrimps, large or small, have two "veins" Through the top on is really the digestive system and the bottom one (underside) is nervous system.
Next time when you devein, try the underside and you will see it.
Most cooks only remove the top one.
re: Chemicalkinetics
I never knew of this nervous system issue. I'll have to give it a shot and see if I now make the most lucious shrimp ever! Thanks for the info.
re: AndrewK512
the underside vein/nervous system may not taste as bad as the digestive tract, but i can't stand the texture - i find it to be even stringier.
re: goodhealthgourmet
They can come up with seedless grapes, why not veinless shrimp?!
re: Chemicalkinetics
@chemicalkinetics, the underside vein always seems hairlike to me and quite negligible...so I only do the top-side one.
re: Val
@Val, have you ever gotten a hair stuck in your teeth while eating? ick. ick. ick.
*that* is why i remove the underside vein ;)
0 -
re: Val
That is cool, but I just want you to know. The underside one is more difficult to remove and you will be looking for at least twice the amount of work :)
re: Chemicalkinetics
I once had to devein, get this, 20 pounds of shrimp for one of my parents' huge parties. My dad said it was cheaper that way. I really wanted to stab him with my knife at the end. Consequently I'm very good at it now.
Oh yeah and I had to do a fancy shrimp flambe cooking extravaganza for all the guests too! So I'm good at that too. Did get lots of oohs and aahs though.
re: cosmogrrl
I bet you lost all desire to eat shrimp for a while after that.
I sometimes find that if I prepare a dish/meal that is incredibly labor-intensive, I totally lose my enthusiasm to eat it when it's finished.
re: sueatmo
Perhaps it's because I had to do it when I was a teenager working in a restaurant kitchen... I'm with you on washing mature spinach!
I can slice and dice until the cows come home (am actually rather proud of my knife skills). I'll even willingly de-vein shrimp -- by the five-pound box. But when it comes to getting the sand out of spinach (or leeks for that matter) I really can't stand it.
For the other "icky shrimp de-veiners" I offer up my secret: I watched a guy in a seafood market on the shore working with shrimp. He was de-veining them with a flick of the wrist, seemingly, because he'd been doing it for 30+ years. The way he was drinking from his mug, I thought he had booze in there. When I asked him he said that he drinks hot tea with lemon -- as hot as he can stand it -- while de-veining shrimp. It keeps his hands warm. So nowadays when I de-vein shrimp I make sure to have plenty of nice hot Oolong or Peppermint tea at hand and it just makes the whole task much less unpleasant. But get used to having shrimp goo all over the outside of your mug.

ROCKPORT RESERVOIR — Out on the ice, a hit comes as little more than a shiver at the tip of the fishing rod — along the lines of a stiff breeze. But it could mean the bait, in this case a wax worm, has enticed a fish. That's when knowing when to set a hook comes into play.
Streams and rivers are different in the winter. There's more action needed by fishermen than from fish. Because it's cold and fish are less active, hints that fish may be near or indications of anything out of the ordinary warrant an angler's response. If it's a false alarm, a quick cast upstream begins a new cycle.
In some respects winter fishing is easier. But in some ways it's more challenging. That could be it is suggested that fishing in winter is becoming more popular than summer fishing.
Pass by Utah's mid- to higher-elevation lakes or reservoirs in the winter and you will see fishermen on the ice. The same is true of Utah's more popular streams and rivers: There are fishermen in warm boots, coats, pants and hats — with fishing gear. And their equipment could be simply a rod and reel or a more elaborate camp with shelter, power auger, fish finder and portable TV.
March is popular with Utah fishermen. Weather is warmer and the days are longer. It's also a time when more hatches take place so there's more surface action on moving waters.
Winter is also when fishing opportunities broaden. The lower-elevation waters are ice-free and open to more traditional fishing methods, such as fishing from boats and casting from shore.
Among the ice-free waters are Otter Creek, Piute, Minersville and Grantsville. Those with solid ice include such popular spots as Panguitch, Starvation, Pineview, Rockport, Scofield, East Canyon, Fish Lake and Strawberry.
Byron Gunderson, owner of Fish Tech Outfitters, said reports from shopping anglers indicate that one of the currently underused fishing spots is Flaming Gorge.
"The gorge is loaded with rainbow and smaller lake trouts. The reports we're getting show the reservoir from Buckboard south is ice-free. For those who want an option, they can fish on the ice on the northern end for burbot," he noted.
But overall, conditions are good. There's plenty of water in reservoirs and rivers, and good ice conditions on most of the popular fishing waters. And Roger Wilson, coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources' fisheries program, said, "We've planted a lot of fish. We've ramped up production with the rebuilding and modernization of our fish hatcheries."
Jim Karpowitz, director of the DWR, explained that last year the agency produced and planted 800,000 pounds of fish and "this year the division will produce and plant 1.34 million pounds of fish."
Utah hatcheries produce a wide range of fish, including several strains of rainbows and cutthroats, browns and brooks, as well as hybrids such as the popular tiger trouts, splakes and wipers.
There are now 13 state-run hatcheries in Utah. Karpowitz noted that when the Kamas hatchery resumes production, planned for late summer, "it will be the first time in 15 to 20 years we've had all our hatcheries up and operating."
Also, after the DWR lost its connection for tiger muskies, the agency has been working to establish an instate program that will produce more fish at lower cost.
Looking at some of Utah's more popular waters, Wilson called Rockport Reservoir "a little bit of a sleeper."
"It's not on a level with places like Strawberry, Scofield and Lake Powell, but it's one of the more important waters. The last survey we did, Rockport was, for the first time, among the top 10."

text: Fourteen Iran exiles head for new life in Albania on May 16, 2013 @ 10:30 PMFourteen Iranian opposition members have left a former US military base in Iraq heading for Albania as part of UN attempts to resettle hundreds of exiles, a US official said Thursday.Tirana has offered to resettle some 210 members of the People's Muhajedeen of Iran, or Mujahedeen-e-Khalq (MEK) currently housed among about 3,000 people in Camp Liberty, near Baghdad.State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the first 14 residents had left Wednesday "for permanent relocation in Albania.""The United States expresses its appreciation to the government of Albania for its generous humanitarian gesture," she added in a statement.But she also urged MEK leaders to "cooperate fully" with the relocation process being organized by the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and to help UN monitors have access to camp residents."It is the responsibility of the MEK leadership to facilitate for the residents... free and unfettered access to UN human rights monitors," she said.A February mortar and rocket attack on Camp Liberty killed seven people, according to the group, and there has been deepening concern about the safety of the residents.The MEK was founded in the 1960s to oppose the shah, and after the 1979 Islamic revolution that ousted him, the group took up arms against Iran's clerical rulers.Then Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein allowed the MEK to establish a base called Camp Ashraf, northeast of Baghdad, after he launched the 1980-88 war with Iran.But almost all MEK members in Iraq have now moved to Camp Liberty from Camp Ashraf as part of a UN-backed process to resettle them outside the country.The MEK says it has now laid down its arms and is working to overthrow the Islamic regime in Tehran by peaceful means. Britain struck the group off its terror list in June 2008, followed by the European Union in 2009 and the United States in September 2012.jkb/sg

On Good Friday, President Obama made a bad call. The State Department announced that it would delay its decision on the Keystone XL pipeline until after the Nebraska Supreme Court rules in a case involving the route. The administration insists the decision to punt has nothing to do with politics. Pretty much everyone else thinks otherwise.
Obama, who is rarely reluctant to act unilaterally when it benefits him politically, and who regularly brags about his red-tape cutting, is paralyzed by perhaps the only big shovel-ready jobs project he's been presented with.
He welcomes the Keystone red tape because he's trapped between an overwhelmingly popular initiative and an overwhelmingly powerful constituency within the Democratic Party opposed to it: obdurate rich environmentalists and the door-knocking minions they employ.
Obama's predicament is just the latest example of how climate change monomania has become a problem for environmentalists -- and the country.
The mark of a truly successful political constituency or lobby is clout in both parties. Since climate change started crowding out other concerns, the environmental movement at the national level has become little more than an adjunct of the left wing of the Democratic Party.
Conservation used to be a fairly bipartisan affair. Dubbed the "father of conservation" by the National Park Service, Republican Teddy Roosevelt did more than any other president to preserve large swaths of wilderness. Richard Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency, expanded the Clean Air Act, signed the Marine Mammal Protection Act and proposed the Safe Drinking Water Act.
The relationship between environmentalists and Republicans soured under Ronald Reagan as he tried to pare back the excesses of the Carter and Nixon years. But the two sides truly broke up under George H.W. Bush. Actually, it was more like the GOP was dumped -- unfairly.
Bush fought for renewal and expansion of the landmark Clean Air Act, but most environmental groups wouldn't even attend the signing. He went to the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992, and he signed the U.N. treaty on climate change that established the Kyoto Protocol process.
"So how many environmental groups endorsed Bush for reelection in 1992?" asked environmental analyst Steve Hayward in a 2010 Weekly Standard essay. "In round numbers: zero."

Mix Chihuahuas are allowed. The starting gate is really small so they have to fit in there to have a good chance. The National Reigning Champ, Maddy from New York is a Chi/Poodle Mix! She's going to defend her title this year in San Diego.

Shannon, it's not like the Chi-Pug dominated the race. She just placed second. A pure bred Chihuahua won top prize and another one, third place. You are not making any sense, honestly.
Anyway, Go Chloe'! Go Palo Alto!

Ulster County Is Home to a HITS
By Allison Dunne
Saugerties, NY – After shelling out more than six-million dollars, the head of one of the top horse show circuits in the country is calling a place in the Hudson Valley the circuit's summer home. And, he says, it's the largest investment he has made in an equestrian facility. Local officials says the shows, which kick off later this week, are already a boon for the local economy, and they praise the leader of such creme-de-la-creme horse shows for his focus on the community. WAMC's Allison Dunne has more.

Great tip!!!! Buy tablecloths to use as draperies....much less expensive, already hemmed, meant to launder often, and many patterns and colors available! 60x84 or buy 60x104 so you can hem them AND still have matching fabric left over for pillows or other coordinating pieces! --another pinterest user
A table done in wide stripes looks classic and contemporary with a centerpiece of lemon leaves, scented geraniums, Golden Celebration roses, and Fair Bianca, Tradescant, Othello and English garden roses.
It's ridiculous how expensive these are but I want them.
When I got my first apartment in NY I got this Marimekko patterned bed spread. Almost 10 years later, even though I've outgrown the bedding, I still want to marry this pattern I love it so much.
Pretty patterns bring a cheerful vibe to this stylish bedroom. More decorating ideas: www.bhg.com/...

Shipbuilder Fred Wahl stays afloat |

Monday, July 08, 2013 | ||
Page 2 of 2
The industry began to revive around 2005, says Hal Hockema, a naval architect for Seattle-based Hockema & Whalen Associates. The favorable exchange rate for U.S.-caught fish and the premium on wild salmon made commercial fishing a lucrative occupation once again, as did the strategic fisheries management via federal- and state-set quotas. "Wahl stayed with it while others dropped out, and now that the market is coming back, he's in a good position to meet it," Hockema says. "He's kind of a last man standing." Staffed by about 75 employees, Fred Wahl's shipyard can construct a boat in six to seven months and, unlike most others, fabricates all its own tools from scratch, welding together everything from cranes to anchor winches to shaft couplings. Wahl's specialty boat to date is the Arctic Fox, a 58-foot design he developed in 2007 and has replicated a dozen times. The seiner fits the regulatory length limits of Alaskan fisheries but compensates by being as wide and deep as possible. Commercial fisherman Matt Giambrone, whose 58-foot Magnus Martens is one of the three new boats headed for Alaska this season, says the design squeezes maximum performance out of the length limit. The boat can hold a lot of gear and 200,000 pounds of fish at once, which reduces the number of port trips needed to unload. "It used to be, to pack that much fish, you'd be looking at a boat that was 80 feet long," Giambrone says. To meet a need he predicts will arise in coming years, Wahl recently designed and built a 114-foot stainless steel crabbing vessel called the Victory. His largest boat yet — and hopefully (depending on demand) a prototype for many more to come — the Victory will take on the Bering Sea this summer. While Wahl's shipyard is currently busier than ever, Wahl's son Mike, who started as a purchasing agent when he was 20 and now oversees the yard day-to-day, says he cannot predict what the future will bring. He does know one thing for sure, though: "The good old days are right now," he says. "We're rolling through them." |

Lil Community: When Is It Age Appropriate to Use the Men's Room?
My son is turning 5, and is very picky. He has started to insist on using the men's room instead of going into the women's with me. If it is a single toilet, I have no problem with it. I am still uncomfortable with him going into a room with multiple stalls. My husband thinks I'm being ridiculous, and says that even in the off chance of there being one shady character in the men's room, nothing will happen because other men would stop it. He also pointed out that I'll be standing right next to the door and can hear any crying/screaming. What are your opinions on this?

Nasdaq set to top record; Apple Watch deliveries; Comcast abandons merger
Yahoo Finance at Yahoo Finance 2 days agoInvestors ending the week on a high note following yesterday's record-setting performance for the Nasdaq (^IXIC).
Yahoo Finance Senior Columnist Michael Santoli says this Nasdaq looks nothing like the one during the dot-com heyday of 2000 that set the last all-time high.
"It's a much more large-cap focused," he points out. "It used to be about entrepreneurs, the next hot thing and essentially these scrappier companies that were trying to catch lightning in a bottle. And now it's more established businesses."
Wall Street also keeping an eye on an unusual durable goods report. The Commerce Department saying March orders jumped a much-more than expected 4%...however, leaving out transportation, orders actually fell 0.2%.

TD Ameritrade CEO believes rate hike coming in December
Yahoo Finance at Yahoo Finance 3 days agoFederal Reserve officials may be meeting next week to discuss the timing of the first interest rate hike in nearly a decade, but don't expect that higher rate to kick in for months.
Fred Tomczyk, CEO of TD Ameritrade (AMTD), says weaker than expected economic data is likely to push the Fed's decision to December - if they decide to act at all this year.

"I think the Federal Reserve is going to wait until it's sure it sees the economic growth coming and sees better signs of inflation," Tomczyk said.
A string of recent reports have showed a slowdown in the U.S. economy in the first quarter. Hiring slowed down in March, adding a disappointing 126,000 jobs last month. Consumer spending rose just 0.1% following two months of declines. Industrial output also showed significant declines, while homebuilding fell 2.5% amid a sluggish housing market.
"It's still bullish, but I would call it cautiously bullish, not aggressively bullish like it was three or four months ago," he said.
Oil jobs are drying up, but this CEO explains why frackers will survive
Yahoo Finance at Yahoo Finance 4 days agoThe U.S. oil boom quickly became a jobs boom. But many of those jobs are now disappearing.
Halliburton, the oil field services giant, cut 9,000 jobs-- more than 10% of its global workforce-- during the last two quarters because of the sharp decline in oil prices. The company's interim CFO told investors this week more layoffs may come by the end of June.
Other parts of the U.S. economy are growing, but the loss of energy jobs is now showing up in broader measures of the job market. Employers added just 126,000 jobs in March, the smallest tally since December 2013. That report ended a 12-month streak during which the economy created more than 200,000 jobs each month.
Energy states are now seeing some of the worst job-market declines. Job losses in March totaled 25,400 in Texas, 21,900 in Oklahoma and 3,000 in North Dakota--a sharp drop for a state with fewer than 740,000 residents.

Fight over fossil fuels goes beyond college campuses
Yahoo Finance at Yahoo Finance 9 days agoThis week, students at Harvard staged a week-long protest in an effort to get the university's $36 billion endowment to divest from the oil and gas and coal industries. Student action included blocking the entrance to Massachusetts Hall, Harvard's oldest building, and preventing university president Drew Gilpin Faust from entering her office. On Thursday, President Faust agreed to meet with the students, who nonetheless vowed to continue the protests until Harvard's endowment divests from the oil and gas industry.
The "divest in fossil fuels" movement is growing at colleges across the country, but it stretches beyond campuses. A number of religious groups have already divested after similar campaigns as well as public pension funds.
But, he says, " Our public pension fund is concerned about our investment in many of these companies because obviously we believe the future is in clean energy."

The reason I did not keep these is because the strap across my toes was too snug and did not appear that it would stretch. I do have large feet which was probably the problem. Other than that, I thought they were very nice sandals and would last a long time.
Sturdy, stable footing, comfortable, attractive. They stay on when I walk without making the slap-slap-slap noises with each step.
Very comfortable sandal. Would recommend to a friend wanting to purchase!
when I received these, I had not noticed that the leather went between the toes, thought I would not like them, but they are very comfortable. You cannot beat Skechers for comfort or wear, so much padding and arch support. Love them.
Comfortable shoes with good arch support
Color was not as dark as thought would be
I don't need to say more , they are Sketchers , that makes them feel good right off the bat and continues a year later, I have 2 pair Brown and Black, wear nearly every day.
Waited and waited for them to go on sale. Finally just gave up and ordered them. They are great so glad I gave in.
Straight out of the box this has been the most comfortable sandal I have ever owned. After a few months I ordered another pair. I wear these around the house like slippers. When my feet are tired I put these on. The arch support is great. The foot bed is soft and comforable. No rubbing from the straps. I can wear them all day long and my feet feel great. I have high arches so if I don't have the support my feet hurt. I will buy them again!
I love Skechers...These sandels are very comfy...I have 2 pair..and many pair of regular skechers shoes.....always looking for more.....These are great for walking in...went to the fair in them...feet not sore, and they look good..

QED International announced today that it will handle non-North American distribution of Drake Doremus' Sundance Film Festival title Breathe In. President of international sales Daniel Diamond negotiated the deal with UTA Independent Film Group, which represented the filmmakers. "We responded to Breathe In immediately, consider Drake to be one of the most talented new directors working, and look forward to including this exceptional film as part of the growing slate of films we're bringing to market in Berlin," Diamond said in a statement Wednesday. Directed and co-written by Doremus, the ensemble drama starring Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce premiered at this year's Sundance. Ben York Jones co-wrote the screenplay. The director's last film, Like Crazy, won the 2011 Sundance Grand Jury Prize. Breathe In was produced by Steven M. Rales and Mark Roybal of Indian Paintbrush, and Jonathan Schwartz and Andrea Sperling of Super Crispy Entertainment.

Bulgarian Fmr President's Party to Call Poll on Presidential Republic
President (2002-2011) Georgi Parvanov's Alternative for Bulgarian Revival (ABV) is to hold a national referendum on whether the country should be a presidential republic.
Parvanov, who is also a former Bulgarian Socialist Party (BSP) leader who split off the socialists to place his own list for this year's European elections, explained the current political system of Bulgaria, the parliamentary republic, needed "corrections", but not ones that should place a "strong hand" on top.
"The idea is that there should be a greater extent of responsibility for what is happening in the state today and in the future. We are witnessing how the ruling majority does not support its government. We are witnesses to an opposition which says one thing in the morning and another in the afternoon, and a Parliament which could not reach quorum. If there is clear responsibility in the state, concentrated in the presidential institution as well, I think the picture would be different," the Bulgarian National Radio quoted Parvanov as saying at ABV's press conference.
Parvanov first announced his intentions to call the referendum at the founding congress of ABV as a party in end-June.
He has already served the maximum limit of two terms in office allowed to a Bulgarian head of state.
