At least 14 houses — including three historic buildings and a recently constructed trophy home — were destroyed late Sunday and early Monday after a lightning strike near Coast Gallery touched off what firefighters call the Basin Complex Fire. By midweek, the blaze had consumed about 23,000 acres. The lightning strike was just one of more than 8,000 observed throughout California Saturday when a dry thunderstorm swept through the state, igniting Historic more than 800 wildfires. Evacuating residents estate lost watched helplessly as columns of fire and smoke but inns and snaked their way up and library are down steep coastal canyons, threatening pock- spared ets of homes. “It looked like a scene from ‘Apocalypse Now,’” described longtime Partington Ridge resident Magnus Toren as he recalled watching the fire approach his prop- erty late Sunday. More than 690 firefighters, along with 46 engines, two air tankers and six helicopters have been deployed to fight the fire, according to the U.S. Forest Service. The USFS was in command of the effort and said expenses had exceeded $1.5 million. Three firefighters reported minor injuries fighting the blaze, which moved swiftly up steep hillsides but was also carried downhill as burning limbs and trees fell. Highway 1 was closed for most of the week south of Post Ranch Inn, and dozens of households on the east side of the highway between Partington Canyon and the Ventana Inn were evacuated. The Ventana Inn, perched on a steep wooded hillside overlooking Highway 1, not only sent its guests away, but See FIRE page 9A CHOMP’s unpaid bills add up to $456 million PHOTOS (CLOCKWISE FROM LOWER LEFT) — LIFE MAGAZINE, GARY KOEPPEL, TORREY WAAG, By KELLY NIX NEPENTHE WEBCAM, RIVER GURTIN, STAN RUSSELL, TORREY WAAG A REPORT released this week reveals that (Top left) Four Nepenthe webcam stills capture the Basin Complex Fire as it sweeps Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula was down Graves Ridge Sunday night, burning several homes, including the historic Stone unable to collect nearly a half a billion dollars in medical House.

  • Inventing Anais Nin: Celebrity Authorship and the Creation of an Icon
    INVENTING ANAIS NIN: CELEBRITY AUTHORSHIP AND THE CREATION OF AN ICON Thesis presented by Anita Jarczok Under the supervision of Dr. Sinead McDermott and Dr. Patricia Moran For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Submitted to the University of Limerick, September 2011 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the process of the construction of Anaїs Nin’s public persona (or rather personae) by herself and by the popular media in the United States from 1966 onwards, with a special focus on socio-cultural processes that contributed to the production and sedimentation of Nin’s public image. This involves, on the one hand, the analysis of Nin’s involvement in the process of self-construction and self- promotion; on the other, the study of how various media contributed to the invention of Anaїs Nin. I also analyse how Nin’s name and persona have been used and what she has come to signify. I investigate what Nin has stood for, what sort of statements she has been brought to support, what products she has advertised, and what debates she has triggered. In order to accomplish these aims, I rely on the archival research, textual analysis, an examination and application of critical theories to position my study. As far as a critical framework is concerned, I situate my study between autobiography studies and cultural studies. In particular, I combine celebrity culture studies with those that focus on the author’s (self) representation in the literary marketplace, and I foreground gender as a vital factor in constructing a public personality. i DECLARATION I, Anita Jarczok, declare that the content of this thesis is my own original work except where otherwise indicated with reference to secondary sources.

  • Henry Miller. Tropic of Cancer
    Henry Miller. Tropic of Cancer Edited for educational purposes by Karen Nicolas Henry Miller and June (aka 'Mona' 1930s) I am living at the Villa Borghese. There is not a crumb of dirt anywhere, nor a chair misplaced. We are all alone here and we are dead. Last night Boris discovered that he was lousy. I had to shave his armpits and even then the itching did not stop. How can one get lousy in a beautiful place like this? But no matter. We might never have known each other so intimately, Boris and I, had it not been for the lice. Boris has just given me a summary of his views. He is a weather prophet. The weather will continue bad, he says. There will be more calamities, more death, more despair. Not the slightest indication of a change anywhere. The cancer of time is eating us away. Our heroes have killed themselves, or are killing themselves. The hero, then, is not Time, but Timelessness. We must get in step, a lock step, toward the prison of death. There is no escape. The weather will not change. It is now the fall of my second year in Paris. I was sent here for a reason I have not yet been able to fathom. I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive. A year ago, six months ago, I thought that I was an artist. I no longer think about it, I am. Everything that was literature has fallen from me. There are no more books to be written, thank God.

  • Wildland Fire in Ecosystems: Effects of Fire on Fauna
    United States Department of Agriculture Wildland Fire in Forest Service Rocky Mountain Ecosystems Research Station General Technical Report RMRS-GTR-42- volume 1 Effects of Fire on Fauna January 2000 Abstract _____________________________________ Smith, Jane Kapler, ed. 2000. Wildland fire in ecosystems: effects of fire on fauna. Gen. Tech. Rep. RMRS-GTR-42-vol. 1. Ogden, UT: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Research Station. 83 p. Fires affect animals mainly through effects on their habitat. Fires often cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to increases in populations of some animals. These increases are moderated by the animals’ ability to thrive in the altered, often simplified, structure of the postfire environment. The extent of fire effects on animal communities generally depends on the extent of change in habitat structure and species composition caused by fire. Stand-replacement fires usually cause greater changes in the faunal communities of forests than in those of grasslands. Within forests, stand- replacement fires usually alter the animal community more dramatically than understory fires. Animal species are adapted to survive the pattern of fire frequency, season, size, severity, and uniformity that characterized their habitat in presettlement times. When fire frequency increases or decreases substantially or fire severity changes from presettlement patterns, habitat for many animal species declines. Keywords: fire effects, fire management, fire regime, habitat, succession, wildlife The volumes in “The Rainbow Series” will be published during the year 2000.

One of their most unfortunate common traits was their lack of acceptance by the literary establishment. Both of them had unfair one-dimensional reputations which largely have remained intact, years after their deaths. For example, Miller was always seen as a writer of "dirty books," his early master­ pieces such as Tropic of Cancer being regarded by many as little more than the literary equivalent of a raunchy stag film. Kerouac was viewed by many critics, and much of the pUblic, as nothing more than a hard-drinking, hell-raising hoodlum transcribing the "hep" aphorisms of his "beatnik" friends.

  • THE TWO HUNDREDTH BOOK American Institute of Graphic Arts’ Annual Fifty Books of the Year
    THE TWO HUNDREDTH A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BOOKS PUBLISHED BY THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA 1958–1993 BY ROBERT D. HARLAN 1993 THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA PREFACE HE CLUB’S FIRST BOOK was published in 1914 and the one hundredth book forty-four years later. These books are described in David Magee’s The Hundredth Book, a Bibliography of the Publications of the Book Club of California & a History of the Club (1958). In this sequel of the second hundred books Magee’s method of bibliographical description has been retained with some modifications. In the title page transcriptions the text is in roman capital letters. Line endings are indicated with a vertical line, and the terms device, decoration and illustration are used to indicate printer’s device, and non-representative and representative im- ages. Measurements are height by width of the page to the eighth of an inch. Inferred pagination is provided in parentheses—roman for preliminary material and arabic for text. Preliminary leaves for which pagination cannot be inferred are listed in the contents note but are not included in the pagination count. The use of colors in printing and lettering is indicated. The generic term illustrations encompasses such material as facsimiles, maps, drawings and sketches, photographs and photographic reproduc- tions, woodcuts, linoleum cuts and engravings, and plates. The text type and the method of composition are identified as in Magee. But to the processes he describes— hand set, monotype, linotype, intertype—are added linotronic, phototype and, more recently, computer composition. Paper identification falls into three categories: hand- made, mold made and machine made.
