The winds blow in melody to their colossal spires, and they are vocal everywhere with the songs of birds and running water. JOHN MUIR, 1894 2 I. 3 We May All Be Netted Together First, forget everything you know about home. Don’t think about the slipshod duplex where you swam in a half-deflated kiddy pool full of floating grass. Or the house your grandmother owned before she got too old to be trusted with the wood stove. Forget the parking lot of the reservoir, your sister’s waterbed, the basement davenport, or wherever it was that you lost your virginity. Banish all thoughts of small town parades and bus journeys. Next, examine your body. Stand in front of the mirror on the back of your closet door and strip away everything that makes you distinct. The ironic T-shirts, push up bras, the tube socks your mom sent in a Christmas box, novelty ties. Rub out the eyeliner with the back of your hand and shave your beard. You’ll find that your hair, falling in clumps to the floor, will cause you actual physical pain, but do it anyway. Cut away the tattoos, the fifty extra pounds, that birthmark in the shape of a strawberry on the nape of your neck. Scrub your skin until it takes on its own light, forming a troposphere that traps your uniform heat. Ninty-eight point six within a millimeter of every brow. Now you are ready to move. Focus on the muscles working beneath your layers of fat and sinew as you throw a punch, roll down hills, operate heavy machinery. Gather together in small groups of two and three, and ask yourselves, if we drained the blood from our veins, would it be equal in weight and measure? Are we all fitted with the exact same number of eyelashes? Is one’s distaste for poetry and particleboard balanced by a love for steel tipped darts and hardwood in another? These questions don’t matter, but 4 understand that the answer does. Understand that the cure for unhappiness is not happiness, but rather, the crack in someone’s back tooth that only you can fill. 5 Snag That the trees would be standing long after she was gone had once comforted Beth. Even after the wind-lashed deadfall had slipped off the green chain and severed her father’s spinal cord, after he retreated within the confines of a nursing home suite and into his broken body, after she finally understood herself to be alone in the world, Beth saw the trees, the same trees that towered over her girlhood, as limitless, without beginning, immortal. She thought this idea strange, since she had been clothed and fed all her life by men whose livelihood depended on razing those trees to the ground. But when the sun warmed the branches, sending the circle of darkness back into the mundane and familiar boundaries of dirt roads and beat up pickup trucks, Beth couldn’t help but feel relieved that they stood as they always had, and had not rearranged themselves, by some diabolical magic, in the night. Beth took the baby monitor and a sweater out the back door toward the lean-to behind the cabin. She pulled a pack from a gap in the low-slung rafters and knocked out a cigarette before picking up a tin can and heading toward the tree line. He’d been gone for over a year, but seeing those cans always brought her father’s scent, wet ferns and the earthy shit smell of pulp, right back. As a precaution, the logging crew her husband Perry had hired would arrive well before dawn and work only until the sun broke over the eastern treeline, when the heat index made fire a threat. But cigarettes were much more likely to cause a fire than overheated diesel engines. Back when he was bucking Doug Fir and Pondos in the 6 Cascades, hooking giant spruce out of the brittle late summer forests, her father had insisted his brush monkeys smoke into a tin can. Can’t charge nobody for a cinder,he’d said. He’d pour a slug of water or JB—whatever was handy—into the bottom of the can and carry it around with him everywhere. She wove herself through the tagged trees, bringing the monitor up to her ear every few yards to make sure she could still hear the baby’s heavy breathing in the still cabin behind her. She had bought the best model on the market—a range of almost 300 yards. Not that it mattered; the baby slept constantly, waking only to eat ferociously and stare at her for a few moments in bewilderment before sliding back into unconsciousness. But she knew Perry would panic if he found her out of bed. She walked to the end of the monitor’s tether and found a spongy stump for a seat while she smoked. As she sat, she tried to transmit the customary message to her father, concentrating very hard to guide her thoughts down the hill, along Highway 20, through town and into his room, cramped by the various equipment that kept

  • ”Shoes”: a Componential Analysis of Meaning
    Vol. 15 No.1 – April 2015 A Look at the World through a Word ”Shoes”: A Componential Analysis of Meaning Miftahush Shalihah [email protected]. English Language Studies, Sanata Dharma University Abstract Meanings are related to language functions. To comprehend how the meanings of a word are various, conducting componential analysis is necessary to do. A word can share similar features to their synonymous words. To reach the previous goal, componential analysis enables us to find out how words are used in their contexts and what features those words are made up. “Shoes” is a word which has many synonyms as this kind of outfit has developed in terms of its shape, which is obviously seen. From the observation done in this research, there are 26 kinds of shoes with 36 distinctive features. The types of shoes found are boots, brogues, cleats, clogs, espadrilles, flip-flops, galoshes, heels, kamiks, loafers, Mary Janes, moccasins, mules, oxfords, pumps, rollerblades, sandals, skates, slides, sling-backs, slippers, sneakers, swim fins, valenki, waders and wedge. The distinctive features of the word “shoes” are based on the heels, heels shape, gender, the types of the toes, the occasions to wear the footwear, the place to wear the footwear, the material, the accessories of the footwear, the model of the back of the shoes and the cut of the shoes. Keywords: shoes, meanings, features Introduction analyzed and described through its semantics components which help to define differential There are many different ways to deal lexical relations, grammatical and syntactic with the problem of meaning.

  • ABSTRACT Beck Boots: the Story of Cowboy Boots in the Texas
    ABSTRACT Beck Boots: The Story of Cowboy Boots in the Texas Panhandle and Their Important Role in American Life Tye E. Barrett, M.A. Mentor: Douglas R. Ferdon Jr., Ph.D. Merton McLaughlin moved to the Texas Panhandle and began making cowboy boots in the spring of 1882. Since that time, cowboy boots have been a part of the Texas Panhandle’s, and America’s rich history. In 1921, twin brothers Earl and Bearl Beck purchased McLaughlin’s boot shop. The Beck family has been making cowboy boots in the Texas Panhandle ever since. This thesis seeks not only to present a history of Beck Boots and cowboy boots in the Texas Panhandle, but also suggests that the relationship between bootmakers, like Beck Boots, and the working cowboy has been the center of success to the business of bootmakers and cowboys alike. Because many, like the Beck family, have nurtured this relationship, cowboy boots have become a central theme and important icon in American life.

    M« Miiiifi eiiHS fllljj 5th Year Ma> 2k, 1976 Number 21 Show Folds in Texas An anticipated circus day at San Antonio (Texas) turned out to be a disappointment for fans and show folks alike. In the midst of a steady rain Circus Galaxy folded in that .city on May 9th. Early this year announcements about the circus indicated it would rival the best shows on the road. Phone crews started their San Antonio promotion about two months ago. While they were vague about the show's name they were positive it was a "large tented show" with the best of everything. CFA's who saw the circus at Victoria described it as "a small show" with no show owned equipment. They called it strictly "a drum and organ show" with the Oscarian Family and some Mexican performers. Six performances were scheduled for San Antonio, but prior to the first show, performers were told they (Continued on Page 16) A VAILABLE fOP LIMITED ENGAGEMENTS HOLLYWOOD ELEPHANTS Contact JUDY JACOBSKAYE Suit* 519 • 1680 North Vine Street • Hollywood, California • 90028 Area Code 213 • 462-6001 Page 2 The Circus Report American Continental by MIKE SPORRER The 1976 circus season got off to a big start with the arriv- al of the American Continental Circus at Seattle, Wash.

    BILL ANALYSIS Senate Research Center H.C.R. 151 By: Bohac (Patrick) International Relations & Trade 5/22/2007 Engrossed AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT The State of Texas boasts a richly diverse cultural heritage, and through the years it has adopted a number of tangible representations of that heritage as official symbols. For nearly a century, the cowboy boot has enjoyed a special status as one of the most treasured of Texas icons. Although riding boots date back for centuries, and although ranches first appeared in Texas during the Spanish colonial era, the basic pattern of the cowboy boot was forged in the crucible of the post-Civil War trail drives; between 1866 and 1890, mounted cowboys drove millions of head of Texas cattle to northern and western markets along such famous trails as the Chisholm, Western, and Goodnight-Loving. Boot makers in Texas and Kansas responded to suggestions from those cowboys regarding the design of their footwear, and a slimmer boot with a higher heel, more rounded toe, and rounded, reinforced instep began to be developed. During the course of the 20th century, cowboy boots gained a mass appeal that ultimately extended to foreign lands; this popularity was driven by an enthusiasm for the West that was fostered in the 1920s and 1930s by radio shows and movie serials and in the post-World War II decades by rodeos and dude ranches; the public’s fascination with cowboys and their apparel has also been fired by movie screen idols such as Tom Mix, by entertainers such as Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Dale Evans, and, in recent years, by movies such as Urban Cowboy and Silverado.

  • When the War Ended in 1945, Europe Turned to the Task of Rebuilding, and Americans Once Again Looked West for Inspiration
    When the war ended in 1945, Europe turned to the task of rebuilding, and Americans once again looked west for inspiration. The swagger of the cowboy fitted the victorious mood of the country. Dude ranches were now a destination for even the middle class. Hopalong Cassidy and the puppet cowboy Howdy Doody kept children glued to their televisions, and Nashville’s country music industry produced one ‘rhinestone cowboy’ after another. Westerns were also one of the most popular film genres. As the movie director Dore Schary noted, ‘the American movie screen was dominated by strong, rugged males – the “one punch, one [gun] shot variety”.’43 In this milieu, cowboy boots became increasingly glamorous. Exagger- atedly pointed toes, high-keyed coloured leathers, elaborate appliqué and even actual rhinestone embellishments were not considered excessive. This period has been called the golden age of cowboy boots, and the artistry and imagination expressed in late 1940s and 1950s boot-making is staggering. The cowboy boot was becoming part of costume, a means of dressing up, of playing type. This point was made clear by the popularity of dress-up cowboy clothes, including boots, for children. Indeed, this transformation into costume was becoming the fate of many boots in fashion. Although most boot styles fell out of fashion in the 1950s, in the immediate post-war period a particular form of military footwear did pass into men’s stylish casual dress: the chukka boot, said to have come from India, and its variant, the desert boot. Designed as a low ankle boot with a two to three eyelet closure, chukkas were said to have been worn for comfort by British polo players both on and off the field in India.44 The simple desert boot was based on the traditional chukka but in Cairo during the war it was given a crepe sole and soft suede upper.
