I forced Cat Merrick to wander around in circles in the dark with me last night. I didn't mean to, but every cool place I wanted to take her was either closed or abandoned. But we stumbled across something lovely. We saw this really posh bar on Grand Street called the Huckleberry Bar. I had never seen it before and didn't know what to expect. It looked super fancy. After a drink at the

Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is an all-time classic that will not pass you by. Sooner or later you will be asked to complete a term paper on this topic. There are two ways out of this situation: if you listened carefully, there should be no problems; if you had some important things to do, and the information on the book just slipped through your fingers, here's what you can write about: Lowest level of a white society. Huckleberry Finn himself comes from it. His father is a drunk and a ruffian who disappears for months on end. Huck himself is dirty and frequently homeless. Failure of the community to provide a boy with decent protection from his dangerous father, and the way the cruel world of adults can influence child's perception of the world. The review of some general society values. Huck's willingness to think through a situation on its own merits lead him to some conclusions that are correct in their context but that would shock white society. The issue with black peop

I can't believe I'm updating this. Really, the motivation behind this update is that I entered a headline that made it onto this week's posts on Overheard in New York. That being the case, I'm assuming that maybe some people will see the link to my blog that I included and actually stop by to visit here.The headline of this post comes from a very fantastic movie, Tombstone. Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday is quite possibly one of the best characters ever, with his cocky swagger. The only character I've seen that comes close in similar fashion is Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean (speaking of which, the sequel looks to be fantastic). I watched two great movies today, actually, Tombstone and Boondock Saints. I was trying to determine what it is that makes The Boondock Saints such a great movie to me, and I think it's just the way everything comes together, the way nothing in that movie is frivolous or doesn't contribute to the masterful plot.Anyway I

Once gathered only for subsistence and cultural purposes, wild huckleberries are now also harvested commercially. Drawing on archival research as well as harvester and producer interview and survey data, an inventory of North American wild huckleberry plant genera is presented, and the wild huckleberry harvesting patterns of early Native Americans and nonindigenous settlers are described. The social, technological, and environmental changes that gave rise to the commercial industry in the Pacific Northwest by the 1920s and the industry's demise after World War II are explained. The resurgence of the commercial wild huckleberry industry in the mid-1980s and national forest management issues related to the industry are presented as are possible strategies that land managers could develop to ensure wild huckleberry, wildlife, and cultural sustainability.
