Of all writers Booth Tarkington most nearly interpreted the American scene from the beginning of this century through the Twenties as the average American saw it.
Tarkington's interest lay in the people whom he and most other Americans knew well. He was at his best on North Meridian Street (his "National Avenue") in Indianapolis , or with the people who had prospered to a chill eminence above that thoroughfare, or, as in the case of the family of Alice Adams, had slipped below it. He did well, too, on the streets neighboring to Meridian and progressively less impressive, and he knew what went on in the residential streets which fed the ebony glitter of the colored folks' main-stem, Indiana Avenue.
Mostly, though, he knew the Indiana middle class and he put them down, in his notably careful and beautiful script, for future generations and for the world at large to meet. They were by no means all nice people; there was always the leavening of Alice Adams' bootlegging brother, the nastiness of some of the Magnificent Ambersons, but the proportion of good, near-good, wishfully-good and pure bad was about right. There was neither the high romance of George Barr McCutcheon nor the grimy realism of Theodore Dreiser: Tarkington's people lived.
Every town in American had its Magnificent Ambersons, and a doting Adams mother and a frustrated Adams daughter kept up a pretense of gentility in most American towns and cities. Penrod was easily recognizable to any citizen who was a boy in Penrod's day, and to most parents of any age, there were half a dozen prototypes of The Gentleman from Indiana. There have been Willie Baxters ever since boys began to reach the shaving age, and Willies will always be with us as long as civilization maintains.
Tarkington , to average citizens, was not only a great Indiana author, but to many he will always be the great page: 313[View Page 313] Indiana author, regardless of the manifestos which critics may issue on the literary virtues of Dreiser and the others.
Newton Booth Tarkington was born in Indianapolis on July 29, 1869, into the very sort of background he wrote of best–comfortably prosperous middle class. His father was Judge John Stevenson Tarkington and his mother was Elizabeth Booth Tarkington. They named the baby for a distinguished uncle, Newton Booth, early governor of California .
Tarkington was sent to Phillips Exeter Academy for his college preparation and, upon graduation, he entered Purdue University. In spite of the genial companionship of George Ade and John T. McCutcheon, he transferred to Princeton after two years but left without a degree. He was active in Princeton literary and dramatic affairs. He also stood well in his classes, although he later said, "No doubt I imbibed some education there, though it seems to me that I tried to avoid that as much as possible." It was no matter–he was to receive academic honors enough in later life.
His first ambition was to become an illustrator: he made the old LIFE with a drawing in 1895 and then received thirty-one consecutive rejections. Thereafter he stuck to writing but with little more immediate encouragement. Finally a publishing house bought Cherry–and put it away among its other presumed errors in judgment–but the purchase price was paid. It was $2.50, and that sum, according to Tarkington, was the gross return from five years of writing. Publishing it after the establishment of Tarkington's fame, the buyer realized a handsome profit, even including storage charges.
Success was coming, however, and it was not far away. Having had no luck with short stories (even Monsieur Beaucaire had made the rounds and collected its share of rejection slips), he decided to try a novel. He laid it in Indiana , he peopled it with Indianians whom he knew, and The Gentleman from Indiana resulted. It was an immediate best-seller, and it remained near the top of the list for an amazing length of time.
Monsieur Beaucaire and other previously rejected manuscripts came out of Tarkington's desk drawer and were viewed in a different light by publishers. The young man leaped from a $1000 or so annual income (received from the rentals he had bought with his Uncle Newton Booth's bequest) to a total of $27,000 in 1900. In 1919 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for literature for The Magnificent Ambersons; he won it again with Alice Adams in 1922, and later the American Institute of Arts and Letters awarded him its medal for distinguished fiction.
Tarkington was always one to enjoy his living–at Purdue and at Princeton and, after he became a notable literary figure, in the spots in North America and Europe most likely to furnish entertainment. Between times, though, he returned to Indianapolis , even from the beloved summer home of his later years in Kennebunkport, Me. In his gaudy younger days, in his mellow and intelligently socially-conscious middle life and in his contented old age he was a Hoosier.
Tarkington did not always write great books, but he always wrote good ones. Writing, for him, was a very serious business–fifteen and sixteen hour stretches in his study with his meals sent in. Probably, as time goes on, it will be realized increasingly that the best of his efforts are important social documents, that the lightest of them have a Mark Twain quality of surviving freshness and that they are all good entertainment.
Tarkington was happy in his choice of male associates throughout his life. The friendship of Ade, the McCutcheons, Harry Leon Wilson, Julian Street, and all the others could make any life an enjoyable one. With women, however, he was less at home. He had the reputation at Princeton of being something of a wallflower in mixed company; perhaps those occasions furnished documentary material for the agonies of Willie Baxter and Ramsey Milholland.
His first wife was Laurel Louisa Fletcher, daughter of a highly successful Indianapolis banking family of whom recognizable portraits appear in Tarkington's writing. Their divorce was followed shortly and tragically by the death of their one daughter of pneumonia. His second wife, Susannah Robinson of Dayton, O., whom he married on Nov. 6, 1912, survived him. She was always interested in his writing and aided him in its continuance and development.
Tarkington's later years were plagued by ill health: by a heart ailment which brought orders to slow down and by an eye trouble which brought about almost complete blindness (although he made every effort to conceal the fact). In spite of the suffering from these disabilities, and even more from the inactivity they enforced, he kept up his interest in the affairs of the world. He maintained until the last an urbane and only slightly detached attitude toward the life to which he had contributed so much.
Booth Tarkington died at his Indianapolis home, 4270 North Meridian Street, on May 19, 1946.

James Maurice Thompson (the name had become simply Maurice Thompson long before his signature was important to anyone but himself) was the possessor of a wide variety of talent which he employed in the shaping of careers in six widely separate fields–most successful of which was literature.
He was born in the small eastern Indiana community of Fairfield on Sept. 9, 1844, to the Rev. Mathew Grigg and Diantha Jaeggar Thompson. The senior Thompson was a Southerner by birth and, at the time of the birth of Maurice, pastor of the Baptist church in Fairfield ; in the pursuit of his calling he was soon called upon to remove, first to Missouri and shortly thereafter to Kentucky .
Something occurred shortly before 1854 to bring about a radical change in Mathew Grigg Thompson's career: whether he experienced some profound spiritual upheaval or merely inherited some land and some slaves, he had deserted the pulpit by that year and was established as a planter in the Coosawattee valley of upper Georgia.
Mathew Grigg Thompson must have either inherited upon a rather generous scale or have found his years in the pulpit a good apprenticeship for the profitable management of slaves and good red soil, for he was able to hire competent tutors to educate his sons (the younger, Will Henry Thompson, had been born in Missouri in 1846) in the classical languages, literature, French and mathematics. Quiet, thoughtful young Maurice was given an extra measure of the latter, since his youthful fancy lit upon civil engineering as a career.
In addition to formal education there was also learning in woodcraft, still pleasingly and painlessly obtainable in north Georgia. Those remarkable people, the Cherokees, had been driven from the country only a generation before and there were still plenty of men about, white and black, who had learned their peculiar way in the woods and who liked nothing better than to pass it on.
Maurice and Will Thompson took full advantage of both academic and extra-curricular opportunities and acquired both an abiding love for the outdoors and a sound scientific knowledge of its components. Eventually this love would furnish ample subject matter for the best of the writing which made Maurice a prominent literary figure of the last quarter of the Nineteenth century.
The Civil War interrupted this pleasant life and both young men enlisted in the Confederate army, Maurice in 1862, before his eighteenth birthday, and Will shortly after.
The brothers served the Confederacy well but the end of the war saw most Georgia planters only a cut above penniless, with the Thompson family no exception. After being mustered out, Maurice went to Calhoun, Ga., to continue his studies in surveying and engineering and, as further insurance of a future livelihood, to read law. Little is known of his supposed two years of residence in that town except that he is believed to have done his first serious writing there: contributions of verse to some of those ephemeral Southern "literary journals" which had survived the war or were endeavoring to temper the gloomy days of Reconstruction by beginning publication.
In 1867, his studies either completed or forsaken as unpromising, Maurice Thompson began a botanical, zoological and ornithological survey of Lake Okeechobee , in Florida , of the Okeefinokee Swamp and of some other regions of similar interest in the deep South.
While natural history surveys may have been good rehabilitation measures for a young man recently fresh from the wars, they could not have been very remunerative; and neither, apparently, was any other pursuit likely to appeal to educated young Georgians of the day. The Thompson brothers rightly guessed that they would probably be elderly Georgians before conditions improved. Finally they decided upon a course which page: 318[View Page 318] must have appeared singular indeed to most of their fellow veterans: the South was certainly overrun with undesired and undesirable Northerners; why should not this be an auspicious time for a few Southerners to go North? Packing their belongings in knapsacks and cutting a couple of walking sticks, they set out.
Some weeks later they arrived in Crawfordsville, Ind., a town as rabidly Union as might be found in the Midwest and the sanctuary of four recently retired Union generals. The Thompsons had no purpose in view, no acquaintance in the town.
Almost immediately it became evident that their unlikely choice was wise. A railroad was being built through the country. John Lee, in charge of construction, could use young engineers and Maurice and Will Thompson soon had jobs. The people of Crawfordsville must have been more tolerant of recent enemies than might have been anticipated (although Maurice Thompson was as agreeable and as urbane an enemy as one might meet) for within a year Alice, daughter of John Lee, had married him and he had settled as a permanent resident of the town. A few years later Will Thompson married Ida, sister of Alice.
In 1871, as soon as he had his feet on the ground financially, Thompson gave up engineering and opened a law office in partnership with his brother. The firm was never remarkably successful but both men were reasonably competent and their practice earned them comfortable livings. More important, law practice allowed Maurice time to resume his writing. As an evidence of the popular acceptance of the Thompson brothers in their new home, it must be noted that Maurice was elected to the Indiana State Legislature in 1879—certainly an honor not visited upon many in the Midwest who had borne hostile arms only fifteen years earlier.
In 1873 the ATLANTIC MONTHLY published one of his contributions and, encouraged, he redoubled his efforts. An early result was a series of articles on the then-neglected subject of archery which brought about his general recognition as a writer and also created a nation-wlde craze for the sport. The knowledge of archery which both Maurice and Will Thompson possessed was a product of the plantation days and had been acquired, according to Meredith Nicholson's The Hoosiers, "from a hermit who lived in the midst of a pine forest near his home."
In 1875 Thompson's first book appeared. It was Hoosier Mosaics, a collection of charming sketches of incidents in the Indiana small town scene. Thompson drew the backgrounds of Colfax and Jamestown sharply and accurately and the incidents reported in at least two of the sketches are as readable as the current and reminiscent examples in which the NEW YORKER specializes. Two novels, His Second Campaign and A Tallahassee Girl, were published in 1882; and the latter, enjoying a fair sale in both the Northern and Southern states, encouraged him to give up the law. With the exception of serving as Indiana state geologist and chief of the department of natural history between 1885 and 1889 (the duties of which office were not particularly exacting at the time) he continued until his death as a prosperous literary man and lecturer.
Thompson's novels continued to appear with some regularity but with no great success until, in 1885, his first work in the field of nature study made its appearance. It was By-Ways and Bird Notes and the writing of it was probably inspired by the ready acceptance which periodicals gave to his contributions on the subject. It was followed, at intervals of one or two novels, by The Boys" Book of Sports, 1886; Sylvan Secrets, in Bird Sonys and Books, 1887; Stories of the Cherokee Hills, 1889; and My Winter Garden, 1900. These, with the early Witchery of Archery and Alice of Old Vincennes, are the chief basis of his fame as a writer of books. His place as a critic and a poet is yet to be finally evaluated and will be based chiefly upon his voluminous contribution to the periodical press of the Eighties and Nineties, but it was undoubtedly as an essayist, and more specifically as an essayist on the subject of the outdoors, that he excelled.
It is logical to give Maurice Thompson a considerable share of credit for arousing, through his books and his writing for periodicals, the interest of his literate fellow citizens in nature study and the outdoor life.
Thompson is remembered by his neighbors as rather diffident and self-effacing, but as an unfailingly pleasant and hospitable man. His wife, Alice Lee Thompson, was a woman of great charm and their beautiful home, Sherwood Place, on the east edge of Crawfordsville , was always open to their friends, and those of their three children–and to anyone at all who might be interested in nature, literature, the classics or, particularly, in archery. The family always wintered in their beloved South.
In this pleasant life Thompson grew in stature in the contemporary world of letters. After 1888 he served as non-resident literary editor of the INDEPENDENT, read papers and spoke widely. Finally, in 1900, he achieved his life-long ambition–he wrote a tremendously successful novel.
The book is Alice Of Old Vincennes. Its scene is the page: 319[View Page 319] old French village on the lower Wabash and its plot concerns the capture of the town by hard-bitten young Gen. George Rogers Clark and the manner in which he used it to control the Old Northwest. It is an excellent historical novel of the days before the formula for the historical novel had been standardized with a ratio of at least four conquests in the boudoir to one on the battlefield. The incidental characters are real, and their activities are historically authentic. Even Alice, the heroine, is a character not entirely of his own imagining, according to Thompson's foreword. Her "romantic life, as brokenly sketched in Mr. Roussillon's letter" written in 1788 and preserved by a Louisiana Creole family, was authenticated by the author's research.
Throughout his writing career, Thompson had always returned hopefully to the novel at intervals in his more successful efforts at the essay, criticism and verse. He had published at least nine novels, only two or three of which were even moderately successful. Perhaps his recurrent efforts were inspired by the fact that Lew Wallace, a neighbor only two blocks down Pike Street, had produced a record American best seller in 1880 with a book called Ben Hut. Modest as he was, Thompson must have recognized that his own literary touch was both lighter and surer than that of his friend Gen. Wallace and that he lacked only a bit of good fortune and equally appealing subject matter in order to create a Ben Hur of his own. In the matter of appealing subject matter he could have had no great hope of a permanent triumph–Wallace had already appropriated the Christ and his early followers–but the career of Gen. George Rogers Clark and the town of Vincennes had lately attracted considerable notice through the publication of Capt. William H. English's Conquest of the Country Northwest of the Ohio River 1778-1783 and Life of Gen. George Rogers Clark. Thompson wrote by far his most workmanlike novel and the good fortune took care of itself.
Alice Of Old Vincennes was a best seller of 1900 and it began 1901 with even more promise. In the first weeks of that year there appeared no reason why the record of Gen. Wallace, down street, should not soon be equalled. The prospect must have been pleasing even to the unenvious spirit of Maurice Thompson, for the General was a bit arrogant in his own success and there had been some rather dismal failures among Thompson's earlier novels.
As it turned out, Ben Hur, with the world-wide interest in its subject and setting, continued to sell in tens of thousands after the four or five year boom in sales of Alice Of Old Vincennes had settled to a few thousand copies a year. By that time it made little difference to James Maurice Thompson, for he had died quietly at Sherwood Place on Feb. 15, 1901–at exactly the summit of his popularity.

Dick Thompson was a stormy figure on the Indiana and the national scene for some sixty-five years. Hero or villain, depending upon the viewpoint, he was in the thick of every Indiana controversy: he was always a partisan, never a neutral, be the question religious, political, ethical or economic.
Richard Wigginton Thompson was born on June 9, 1809. His parents were William Mills and Catherine Wigginton Broadus Thompson, of Culpepper County, Va. They gave their son a sound education, which evidenced itself in the literary merit and the polish of his speeches and voluminous writing.
About 1831 young Thompson came west to Louisville, Ky. He taught school for a time in Lawrence County, Ind., read law, was admitted to the Indiana bar in 1834, hung out his shingle in Bedford, Ind., and the same year was elected to represent his new home in the state Legislature. Hoosiers loved orators in those days; Thompson was one of the best, and his comparatively short residence in the town seems to have been no political handicap at all. He served in the Indiana House and Senate from Lawrence County from 1834 to 1838. He was congressman from the district in 1841-43 and again 1847-49. He moved his residence to Terre Haute in 1843.
Of his national political career W. E. S., writing in the Dictionary of American Biography, says:
"Presidents Taylor, Fillmore, and Lincoln made him proffers of offices, but he declined. He was active in the secession controversies and during the Civil War served as provost marshal for the Terre Haute district. He was a delegate to Republican National Conventions in 1868, 1876, and 1892, and in the last named nominated Benjamin Harrison for the presidency. In 1877 he was appointed Secretary of the Navy in the Hayes administration … It has been affirmed that this was the only major appointment made by Hayes that was 'dictated entirely by political considerations and it was the only bad one' … While holding this post he took the chairmanship of the American Committee of the Panama Canal Company at a salary of $25,000 yearly, thinking this no bar to retaining his post in the cabinet, whereupon Hayes notified him 'that his resignation (unoffered) had been accepted' … Extremely partisan in politics, intolerant in religion, a lobbyist for railroads, Thompson was throughout his active life a figure about whom angry controversy swirled. Few of his contemporaries among public men were so frequently attacked on ethical grounds …"
Richard Thompson married Harriet Eliza Gardiner on May 5, 1836. She died in 1888, he on Feb. 9, 1900, at Terre Haute, Ind.

THORPE, ROSE HARTWICK (MRs. EDMUND CARSON): 1850-1939.
Among the greatest contributions to the repertoire of the elocutionist, whose art thrilled the front parlor gatherings and church sociables of America in the late Nineteenth century, was that sterling composition "Curfew Must Not Ring To-night." Many an amateur well-nigh blinded himself with eye-rolling and wrecked his vocal cords in the changes of pace attendant upon its rendition. It was a classic of its kind and it was written by a daughter of Mishawaka, Ind.
She was Rose Hartwick , daughter of William and Mary Hartwick, born in Mishawaka, Ind., on July 18, 1850. She was graduated in 1868 from the high school in Litchfield, Mich., where her family had moved when she was ten years old.
Miss Hartwick's literary career began at its very pinnacle, with the writing of "Curfew Must Not Ring To-night" in her twentieth year. The poem was published in a Detroit newspaper in 1870 and attracted immediate attention. She married Edmund Carson Thorpe on Sept. 11, 1871, and continued with her writing. By 1881 she was editing three Sunday-school papers in Chicago and she continued as editor and later contributor to journals and magazines from 1880 until her death on July 19, 1939.
Mrs. Thorpe's last years were spent with her family in San Diego, Calif.

Without sacrificing the moral, ethical, and religious elements that had given so much impetus to pacifism, he interpreted the peace movement and the forces promoting war with realism as well as vision. His analyses of contemporary events were characterized by shrewdness, insight, and literary merit. Himself an uncompromising foe of all wars, militarism, and violence, he believed it was necessary to enlist the support of every shade of opinion if pacifism and internationalism were to be translated into actualities …"

Joseph Farrand Tuttle , for thirty years president of Wabash College and a leader in educational and religious affairs in Indiana , was born in Bloomfield, N. J., on Mar. 12, 1818.
The Tuttles had long been well known in the East, and his father, the Rev. Jacob Tuttle, was a prominent New Jersey minister. His mother's maiden name was Elizabeth Ward.
Joseph Farrand Tuttle had private instruction until his tenth year, when he was enrolled in Newark Academy. After four years of study he was taken by his parents to Ohio, where he spent the next four years on his uncle's farm.
In 1837 he entered Marietta College as a freshman and graduated with first honors in the spring of 1841. In the same year he enrolled in Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati , where Lyman Beecher made a considerable impression on him. He spent 1843 as a tutor in Marietta College and was licensed as a minister of the Presbyterian Church in 1844, receiving the A.M. from Lane in the same year.
In 1845 he accepted his first pastorate, that of the Second Presbyterian Church in Delaware, O., and married Susan Caroline King, whose father, Dr. Barnabas King, was also a minister, of Rockaway, N. J.
In 1847 the Rev. Mr. Tuttle was called as assistant pastor to the Presbyterian Church in Rockaway, N. J. It was not common for young ministers in Ohio to be employed by East Coast churches in those days, and Tuttle may have owed his good fortune in part to his wife's and his own family connections: whatever the case, he continued at Rockaway, speaking and writing for the religious and secular press, until his election to the presidency of Wabash College in 1861.
It is possible that Lyman Beecher, who like his brother, Henry Ward Beecher, had long been an active supporter of Wabash College, had a hand in the selection of Dr. Tuttle to fill the presidential vacancy created by the death of Dr. Charles White.
At Crawfordsville , Dr. Tuttle found Wabash flourishing as an educational institution but in little better financial condition proportionately than it had been two decades before. The years of President White's tenure had seen almost uniform annual deficits.
President Tuttle worked to remedy this difficulty for thirty years, beginning during the Civil War, when the only able-bodied students on the campus were those who had enrolled for a semester or so between enlistments or while recovering from duty-incurred wounds or illness.
Wabash survived the war, and the president, building on the foundation that had been laid before 1861, added to endowment, increased and improved the faculty and secured funds for buildings and equipment. When he resigned, at the end of three decades of service and at the first half century mark of the college, Wabash was well established.
Even after his resignation Dr. Tuttle continued to teach at the college, to write and to speak, in Crawfordsville and out, on religion, history, current events page: 325[View Page 325] and whatever other subject seemed in demand. He kept his intellectual and human interests bright until his death in 1901.

Best Air Mattress / Sleeping Pad EVER!
By Campoholic
from Seattle, WA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Kelty Basecamp Sleeping Pad - Double Wide:
I am so dang sick of buying a new air mattress every year or two (or more than one per year) because they get holes and I patch them and they get more holes and I patch them and... I'm sick of it.I had a single-person Coleman self-inflating camping pad for years, but it was no good because I would always slip off it. It was too small, and wasn't non-slip.This one is AWESOME. It's big enough that my sweetie (or a friend) can both be on it (with a blanket underneath for warmth), sleeping comfortably. There's no slipping off. There's no "human taco" effect from a deflating air mattress. This double wide sleeping pad is the best thing since sliced bread. It made sleeping in the woods (on both forest duff as well as a dustier, slightly rockier/pebbly terrain) as comfortable as sleeping on my firm mattress at home.I let mine self inflate, then put about 10-15 breaths in each one, and it's perfectly, exactly where I want it to be. You'll love it.I had two friends try it out this last weekend, and they're both probably buying one. It's that good.

About Me Avid Adventurer
We were looking for a comfortable warm double pad to use for a fully supported week long bike ride. Size and weight were not an issue. This pad was wonderful and we slept well every night. Recommend that you unroll and let sit for a couple of days before your first trip. From the factory the pad is so compressed that it does not inflate automatically. Once it is used the first time, we found that it only took three short breaths to make it firm. The velour surface does pick up lint and down feathers from our sleeping bags. A lint roller before storing took care of the issue. Took us three times to figure out the best way to roll up the pad. First, do not fold for the first compression. Roll up (there should be two of you since it's a double) with both of you using your knees to compress, close the valves, and then unroll, fold, and roll again. The only thing I would change about this pad is the orientation of the straps. The design is made to roll with the velour side out, it would be better to have it in the inside when packed.

Must Have
By RSanger
from New Hampshire
This mat is perfect for tent camping when you don't want to sleep directly on the ground. The two of us slept so comfortably on our camping trip we actually overslept. Before, we tented without a mat and were up all night. If you want to have a firmer mat, blow air into it before sealing. I love how we can just unroll and its ready to go when we are ready for bed. The only thing to remember is when packing up, you need to roll it twice to be able to get it in the bag. Once to get as much air out as you can, and the second to finish the job and fit it in the storage bag. Love this!

Corey Lee, Benu's James Beard Award-winning chef-owner. Darcy Hemley
In 2009, celebrity chef and Momofuku emperor David Chang lobbed a now legendary critique at the Bay Area food scene: "Every restaurant in San Francisco is just serving figs on a plate," he complained. Just two years after the much-cited incident, Chang hailed chef Corey Lee's South of Market–district restaurant Benu the best in the country. It was a testament to how much Northern California's culinary landscape has changed in the past few years, and a sign of where it might be headed as a contender on the international stage.
While the tradition of showcasing the region's famed cornucopia of local, seasonal produce remains strong, the most exciting new kitchens in Northern California are making bold statements with cutting-edge techniques and a strong individualist streak. Drawing on more than the freshest langoustine or perfect aubergine, the new California Cuisine shares its spirit of innovation with adventurous, boundary-pushing Silicon Valley and is supported by the curiosity—and pocketbooks—of that clientele.
"There's something inherently entrepreneurial happening," says Christopher Kostow, chef at the Restaurant at Meadowood in Napa Valley's St. Helena since 2008. This, he believes, has to do with the ideological landscape as much as the natural one. "Look what California creates: the iPod, PayPal, Facebook. You see a parallel spirit in the restaurant community." At 31, Kostow took over the restaurant's kitchen and kept its two Michelin stars until 2010, when he earned it a coveted third.
David Kinch was arguably the first California chef to break the let-the-vegetables-speak-for-themselves mold, at his restaurant Manresa in Los Gatos, an hour south of San Francisco. The pungency of flavors he helps cultivate at nearby Love Apple Farms in Santa Cruz is astounding—the sharpness of a radish flower, the sweetness of purple kale—but perhaps less so than his nimble use of these raw materials. At a dinner in honor of exotic varieties of citrus, I first tasted the complexity of allspice tangelo, a mandarin hybrid that Kinch nestled, in segments, beneath tissue-thin discs of sliced black radish and turnips, all steeped in a sour-sweet milk-curd bath. Hidden at the bottom of the bowl was a crunchy, addictive savory granola.
For many years, Kinch was one of few gastronomic visionaries in the Bay Area, and his cooking seemed to go unnoticed. The unofficial petition for radical change in California Cuisine—to do something with all those delicious ingredients—came in 2005, when San Francisco chef Daniel Patterson decried the homogeneity of eateries in the Bay Area. Why, Patterson wondered, weren't more of the region's chefs interested in moving beyond the farm-to-table ideal Alice Waters established when she opened Chez Panisse in Berkeley, all the way back in 1971? Nearly 35 years had gone by, and everywhere you turned you uncovered the same thing—upscale casual spots that, drawing on the rustic fare of France and Italy, emphasized the quality of ingredients with unfussy, clean food. While he appreciated Waters's style of cooking, Patterson thought it was high time for his own generation to make its mark.
Photos: California Cuisine 2.0
The following year, Patterson opened Coi, his intimate San Francisco oasis. There, he delights in poking fun at endemic gastronomic stereotypes, but instead of rejecting that legacy wholesale, Patterson elevates it. His California Bowl takes on brown rice and avocado in the form of paper-thin, crispy-does-it "chips" (think papadum) and a creamy-smooth dip. Patterson even manages to gently lampoon wheatgrass—and not activate the gag reflex. He purées the superhealthy green with raw almond, using it as a base for pasture-raised, grass-fed lamb. Sprouted seeds and grains add textural and narrative accent—with this dish, you experience the lamb and its diet. Patterson's cooking is meticulously conceptualized, but it feels simultaneously soulful. On the plate, the effect is seamless.
"California cuisine is a bigger tent than it used to be," says Patterson. "You can thrive being different, independent, modern. Although here modernity is more about ideas than technology."
Not long after Coi's debut, in 2007, Michelin anointed San Francisco the second guide-worthy city in America. It was a sign. The Bay Area was ready to contend with heavyweights like France and Spain, not to mention its East Coast rival. "It changed our demographic when that happened," says Kinch of the Michelin invasion. Now, on any given night, of the 19 tables at Manresa, out-of-towners fill two, Europeans one, and Japanese guests another. Tourists have embraced San Francisco and its environs as a culinary destination, and international attention has arrived in other forms. Patterson has been invited to major food festivals and symposia everywhere—Peru, France, Japan, Brazil—and he's not the only chef representing his home turf.
Understated and modern, Corey Lee's Benu exudes the gravitas you'd expect from the former chef de cuisine at Thomas Keller's the French Laundry. Lee is acutely aware of the Bay Area's two-pronged French culinary heritage—the precise, technique-heavy strain epitomized by Keller in Napa Valley and the more hands-off, ingredient-based school of Waters in Berkeley. At the same time, he's attuned to San Francisco's cultural makeup. On the night I dined there, his ankimo (monkfish liver)—a Japanese delicacy rendered, like foie gras, into a torchon—was served with a bright, minty-green pistachio cream and deep-burgundy sour cherries on a cherry blossom–scented brioche toast. Aside from being seasonally apt, the dish perfectly articulated Benu's point of view: With the torchon, he was referencing his past at the French Laundry (there's a signature foie gras au torchon on that institution's menu), and with the Japanese ankimo and cherry blossom, he was mining the legacy of the city's substantial East and Southeast Asian populations.
Contextualization and personalization are the keys to luxury dining for 32-year-old James Syhabout. A disciple and former employee of Kinch, he left Manresa to open his own eatery, Commis, in his adopted hometown of Oakland in 2009. "I constantly ask myself how you can create a savory experience that you can't have anywhere else in the world," he says. One signature dish vividly distills the aroma and bracing taste of Pacific sea spray. A gently salty "sea foam" sits, like a wave cap, atop a Marin oyster, whose briny and sweet flavors are coaxed out by herbal and earthy notes—anise seed and an edible "sandy" sediment composed of potatoes and sunchokes. "I was thinking, What's the best experience I've had with oysters? Right there on the coast of Tomales Bay—it's the most refreshing thing."
That sense of expressive freedom is contagious at Atelier Crenn, the inviting Fillmore Street boîte of French-born chef Dominique Crenn. "San Francisco is kind to the innovator and has always provided us with the opportunity to take risks," says Crenn, whose cooking is a mix of traditional French technique and avant-garde hijinx. Take her trademark "aperitif," a kir breton reimagined as a savory bonbon. Made with hard cider and crème de cassis, it's a version of what Crenn's mother offered guests at their home in Brittany. Crenn's memories may be rooted in her homeland, but the anecdotal nature of her cooking is Northern California all the way.
In a world of cloned franchises, fine dining's future might lie in the Bay Area's extraordinary blend of the highly personal and the experimental—not to mention a marriage of climate and soil so perfect it's all too easily written off as a cliché. Scraping the bottom of my "granola" bowl at Kinch's Manresa, I remember something he said about the new California cooking: "The food is worth a special journey."

Lots of places. It is true that darga is usually the servitor (meshares) of tevir, but it's not exclusively so. It can also precede munach and revi'i (e.g., Gen. 41:3 and Num. 4:12,14), and (rarely) mercha-kefulah and tipcha (e.g., Gen. 27:25). | |||||||||||||

Famous Animal Gravesites Around the World
It's not just Kentucky Derby winners that are buried with great honor
- By Robin T. Reid
- Smithsonian.com, April 28, 2010
(Associated Press)
The memory of the only known canine casualty of September 11, 2001, is in good company. Sirius, a 4-year-old golden Labrador retriever who perished when the World Trade Center's South Tower collapsed, has a marker near the War Dog Memorial in the Hartsdale, New York Pet Cemetery & Crematory.
Sirius and his handler, David Lim, worked for the New York/New Jersey Port Authority inspecting vehicles that came to the World Trade Center. On the morning of September 11, the duo was in their office in the South Tower basement when the first plane hit the adjoining tower. Lim put his partner into his crate and promised he'd be back after the situation was clear.
While in the North Tower, Lim got trapped in debris. Five hours later, he was freed and ran back to get Sirius. But by then, the South Tower had collapsed, taking the dog with it.
Lim's final reunion with his dog came on January 22, 2002, when workers found Sirius' remains. He was cremated at Hartsdale, and Lim kept the ashes. Shortly afterward, the cemetery installed a memorial for Sirius. Each June, he and all other creatures who have helped mankind are honored with a special ceremony (this year scheduled for June 13).
Sirius also has a dog run named after him in Battery Park City's Kowsky Plaza, on the southern tip of Manhattan.

The title has no relationship to the results shown. It's so National Geographic in that it appeals to kids. Going farther, I find this totally disrespectful to the locations that have monuments and histories equal to and in many cases beyond the ones represented here. Animals deserve respect. Obviously this is not well thought out at all. The issue here lends itself to marginalizing all the information presented at this site. That is not good, unless of course it is your intention. I can not solve this problem for you. [Looks at posting rules to see if I have violated threatening/ offensive/ whatever]

Im a proud owner of a retired race horse named Coker Road who is a descendant of the great Man o War! Coker raced 40 races and pursed $50,000. He has been trained and shown in jumping. Now he is my friend and trail riding partner :D. He is chestnut with three white socks and a blaze and is currently age 11. I LOVE HIM!

Strolling Jim, Tennessee's first grand champion walking horse in 1938, is buried "quietly" at Wartrace, Tenn., the cradle of Tennessee Walking Horse Country.
Shaker's Shocker, who carried the first woman, Betty Sain, to win the breed's biggest Celebration in 1966, is buried in the rolling hills of Middle Tennessee about five miles from Strolling Jim's grave...

Hachiko, who faithfully waited for his owner every day at the Shibuya train station for 9 years after his death, died on March 8, 1935. His stuffed remains are mounted at the National Science Museum of Japan in Ueno,Tokyo. He has become an international symbol of loyalty.

Smokey the Bear in Capitan, New Mexico. Originally rescued as a cub (1950), became famous as "posterboy" in campaign against forest fires, lived at the National Zoo in Washington DC, returned to Lincoln National Forest for burial after his death in 1976.

Where was Smokey the Bear???
Smokey was/is truly an American Icon and has one of the most touching stories of survival and the human impact on nature.

Global energy markets are in transition. Driven by emerging economies such as China and India, energy demand is increasing dramatically. Concurrently, environmental concerns, geopolitical risks, and a depletion of natural resources are driving a long-term shift from traditional oil and gas to alternative energy. Summit Partners works with growth companies that develop differentiated technologies and services, helping them to capitalize on these dynamics and position themselves as new market leaders.
Here are some examples:
Summit has helped Welltec International hire an experienced CFO, and is working with management to bring the company's reporting and systems to public company standards. Summit has also worked with the founder to expand the board of directors with the addition of several experienced industry executives.
