  • PLS 116 How to Identify Or Misidentify the Hobo Spider
    PLS 116 How to identify (or misidentify) the hobo spider Rick Vetter and Art Antonelli Since the late 1980s, many people in Washington have been concerned about the hobo spider because it has been blamed as the cause of dermatologic wounds. We offer here a guide to help identify some medium-sized Washington spiders found in homes. However, keep in mind that without a microscope you may not be able to identify hobo spiders and may have to settle for determining that your spider is NOT a hobo spider. This may be frustrating and not the goal you had in mind, however, quite often the question is not "What spider do I have?" but "Do I have a hobo spider?" You should be able to learn enough to eliminate many spiders from consideration without a microscope and sometimes with just the naked eye. Most people want a world with simple black/white answers but you must realize that there many shades of gray in between and this is the reality of spider identification. This publication was initiated discriminatory skills up a notch, with because there is no currently a little practice, you should be able to available guide to spider confidently determine the identification for the person with characteristics of spiders that are limited arachnological skills. Most of NOT hobo spiders, which will be the the previous guides for hobo spider majority of the medium-sized spiders identification try to give a simplistic you will encounter. way to discern hobo spiders. We have found that many well- intentioned people misconstrue the information and confidently misidentify their non-hobo spider as a hobo.

  • The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle
    The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle By Stefan Johannes Al A dissertation submitted in the partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Southworth Fall 2010 The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle © 2010 by Stefan Johannes Al Abstract The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle by Stefan Johannes Al Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Over the past 70 years, various actors have dramatically reconfigured the Las Vegas Strip in many forms. I claim that behind the Strip’s “reinventions” lies a process of symbolic destruction. Since resorts distinguish themselves symbolically, each new round of capital accumulation relies on the destruction of symbolic capital of existing resorts. A new resort either ups the language within a paradigm, or causes a paradigm shift, which devalues the previous resorts even further. This is why, in the context of the Strip, buildings have such a short lifespan. This dissertation is chronologically structured around the four building booms of new resort construction that occurred on the Strip. Historically, there are periodic waves of new casino resort constructions with continuous upgrades and renovation projects in between. They have been successively theorized as suburbanization, corporatization, Disneyfication, and global branding. Each building boom either conforms to a single paradigm or witnesses a paradigm shift halfway: these paradigms have been theorized as Wild West, Los Angeles Cool, Pop City, Corporate Modern, Disneyland, Sim City, and Starchitecture.

SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE: ~/ d" t --- Michael Harris, Ph.D. gy Heather Coltman, DMA I 1 Dean, College of and Letters ~- ii ABSTRACT Author: Anthony Saturno Title: Tramping: Alternatives to Traditional American Rites of Passage Institution: Florida Atlantic University Thesis Advisor: Dr. Susan Love Brown Degree: Master of Arts Year: 2013 In America today, adolescent boys do not have a structured, ritualized or guided Passage from boyhood into manhood. Many young men feel unsure of their manhood even at an age that signifies the transition. This causes young males to need a self-created rite of Passage. Tramping, the act of travelling by train, hitchhiking or foot, is one way in which young males can indePendently achieve manhood. This is a literary account of the lives of Jack Kerouac, Chris McCandless, and Zebu Recchia. Their personal stories allow a detailed view of the advantages and disadvantages found in a self-created rite of passage.

This book is a perfect celebration, in brilliant color photographs, of the 100 Arizona quilts displayed in a special exhibition marking the state’s centennial at the Arizona Historical Society in Tucson. The quilts are accompanied by brief statements from the quilters, usually a personal account of their reasons for quilting or an explanation of the meaning of their designs. Quilt themes range from cowgirls and cowboys to desert canyons and from the “Dove of the Desert” to Hopi kachinas. [W. David Laird] I was astounded when I first saw the Arizona Centennial Quilt Exhibit at the Historical Society in Tucson. The colors, designs, creativity, and detail were overwhelming. There hung the Grand Canyon made of cloth, desert vistas, ranch scenes, maps, patchworks of historical people, and a crossword puzzle. It was frameable art, far beyond mere blankets for a bed. This book is a collectable catalogue of that wonderful colorful exhibit.
