Bunkerville Rancher Prepares To Battle Feds Again For Land
By VERNON ROBISON
Moapa Valley Progress
The arid desert range southwest of Mesquite is heating up in anticipation of an Old West-style showdown. In recent weeks, Bunkerville rancher Cliven Bundy has been preparing for what may be a last stand in his decades-old struggle with the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) over what he believes are his ancestral rights to graze cattle on the land.
In an interview last week with the Progess, Bundy said that he had spoken recently to Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie. In that conversation, Gillespie reportedly informed Bundy that the BLM is getting close to enforcing a federal court order, issued last fall, to seize his cattle if he doesn't remove them from the vast range south and west of Bunkerville.
"He sounded pretty certain that it was going to happen," Bundy said. "The only uncertainty was just the matter of when."
Earlier this week, BLM officials were still unwilling to give a date on when the roundup might occur. BLM spokeswoman Kirsten Cannon said that federal court rulings handed down in July and October gave Bundy 45 days to comply. That period is now long past, Cannon said.
"The BLM is continuing in its ongoing efforts to work with state, local and federal agencies to comply with the court order," Cannon said. "There are a lot of details that are being worked out so we are still working on a timeline."
Whenever it happens, Bundy says he has no intention of just giving in and moving his cattle off the land.
"I have pre-emptive rights on that land, adjudicated back in the 1930s under the Taylor Grazing Act," Bundy said. "I'll do whatever it takes to protect my life, liberty and property; and along with them, the rights of the other citizens of Clark County to have access to the land."
This is not the first time that Bundy's cattle have been in the crosshairs of the BLM. The legal actions have been flying back and forth since the early 1990s. That's when environmentalist worries about the effects of ranching on the endangered desert tortoise habitat began to take hold. By the end of the 1990s, the government had bought out all of the existing grazing permits from Clark County ranchers; all, that is except for Cliven Bundy's. Bundy refused to sell his rights. But the entire allotment of rights, including Bundy's, was retired anyway at that time by the BLM.
For his part, Bundy disputes the very claim that the tortoise is truly an endangered species. Even if it is, he disputes that the existence of his cattle on the range are a danger to tortoise habitat.
But Bundy also insists that the current dispute is not really about the tortoise nor his cattle. Rather it is a dispute over ownership of the land and over the right of the public to access it.
Bundy has insisted all along that this issue is not under the jurisdiction of the federal government because he claims the land, by rights, actually belongs to the state of Nevada.
"According to the 10th Amendment, the state of Nevada is a sovereign authority within the United States to make rules and regulate itself and its lands," Bundy said. "I believe that it is the people of Nevada and of Clark County who own this land that I graze my cattle on. I have no contract with the federal government so this whole thing shouldn't be controlled by a federal court. It is the state courts that should assert authority in this matter."
But the federal courts have disagreed with this assertion over the years. In 2008, the federal government took Bundy to court for Trespass on federal land and prevailed. The decision found Bundy in Trespass and levied a heavy fine of $200 per day per cow.
Bundy expected an appeal to the Supreme Court by the state of Nevada who, he said, should have proclaimed its sovereignty in the matter. But nothing was ever done about it. He was never assessed the fines, and Bundy just kept on ranching the land as he always had done.
That went on for 14 years. Then in the spring of 2012, the BLM made some specific plans for hiring contract cowboys to round up and impound hundreds of Bundy's cattle.
In response, Bundy, along with his family and supporters quickly sprang into action. They sent notices to the contract cowboys, the Clark County Sheriff, the Clark County Commissioners and other state elected officials; promising to hold each of them liable for any loss of cattle or equipment in the raid.
The BLM officials backed down at that time stating that they would return back to the courts to strengthen their position.
Then last fall, the U.S. District Court released two orders that did just that. The orders permanently enjoined Bundy from trespassing on land that he has always considered his pre-emptive ranching allotment. The court orders also found that Bundy's cattle had been allowed to wander far beyond his traditional allotment onto what the document calls "New Trespass lands". So the orders also permanently enjoined Bundy from trespassing on that land and ordered him to remove all cattle from those lands as well.
The order also quickly dismissed Bundy's claim that the land is, or should be, under state jurisdiction.
"The court finds that Bundy's objections to the United States' Motion are without merit," the Order reads. "The court has stated unequivocally on numerous occasions that it has jurisdiction to hear this case and that the (former Bundy) allotment is owned by the United States. Bundy's repeated suggestions to the contrary are entirely unavailing."
Finally, the documents specifically entitled the federal government to "seize and remove to impound any of Bundy's cattle that remain in trespass after 45 days of the date hereof".
These documents claimed to have lined up all the legal technicalities needed for the BLM to move forward with the roundup. So now the BLM's plan was to again hire a contractor to round up the animals and confiscate them.
This process requires that each animal be checked over by a state brand inspector. Even this technicality is claimed to be covered in the legal paperwork from the federal court being presented by the BLM.
"The Sheriff told me that they were going to come out and that the Nevada brand inspectors would be there to inspect the cattle," Bundy said. "So it seems like both of their legs are wobbling a little bit on this thing."
Nevertheless, Bundy says that he will continue on in the fight, following all of the legal avenues that he can. This includes pushing for a legal recognition that an order would be needed from a Nevada court in order to proceed with the brand inspections.
"Without a Nevada court order, the brand inspector is not required to come out," Bundy said. "They work for me as a citizen of Nevada not for the feds. But they seem to be just going along with this. All the State Brand Inspector has to do is say 'no' and this whole thing would be shut down."
Bundy said that he also plans to make a continued appeal to the Sheriff to uphold his grazing rights.
"All the Sheriff has to do is say 'no' to this," Bundy said. "Is he going to step in and protect my rights or is he going to stand on the fence and allow this to go on?"
If the federal roundup of his cattle takes place, Bundy also promises to bring legal action against the contract cowboys hired to carry it out; as well as state and local officials who, he feels, ought to be standing up for him.
"I'm going to hold these people liable and legally accountable for their actions with any lawsuits that I need to do," he said.
And what if all that fails? If so, Bundy said he will circle the wagons and continue to "make as much noise" as he can.
"I'll bring my friends, relatives and supporters together to protest against this whole thing," he said. "And then we will do whatever we have to do after that."
Bundy emphasized that this was not just his own battle; but it was a battle for the people as well.
"This is not just about trying to eliminate Cliven Bundy in the ranching business," Bundy said. "Because once I am off the land, they'll want you off the land too. Then the federal government will have full policing power and rule as though we were just a territory and not a sovereign state. So I'm not just fighting for my rights. I'm fighting for freedom, liberty, agency and access to their lands for all citizens in Clark County. Yes it is my rights on the line; but it is yours also."
2 Responses to "Bunkerville Rancher Prepares To Battle Feds Again For Land"
What does the Fed hope to gain from this? They will likely spend a fortune to round up these cows- to serve what purpose? To show their strength over a 70 year old rancher and his family? To prove that "they own this land and no one will stop them from doing what they want to do, where and when they want to do it?" Is this really about a desert tortoise?
Is that where our focus should be in this day and age? Ukrainians are fighting to maintain their own land and sovereignty over an armed insurgence of trained Russian soldiers, and we're sending law enforcement to round up cattle…where are our priorities?
Bundy's argument does not hold water. Even if (and that is a big if) the land did not belong to the federal government (which it does), then it belongs to Nevada and Clark County and Bundy owes us hundreds of thousands of dollars. If it is my land as a resident of Clark County, NV I don't want him trespassing without paying up like every other cattle rancher does. Even the Nevada Cattlemens Association is against his actions. Second, Bundy owes a ton of money to the citizens of Clark County and we want it. Pay up Bundy or move your cows elsewhere. That $500,000 you owe residents of Clark County will go a long way in our schools

Right now the Hartland Mansion is mostly used as a luxury wedding location, although we did read about some complaints about it being too hot in the summer and absence of air conditioning. You can visit the place on your own, it's located at 525 Park Paseo - Map.

The Knot
We were both nineteen when we first officially met. She was skinny and always wore hoodies that were a-little-too-big and I just came to school in plain white t's. She was overlooked, I was the nice guy. She read books, I chilled in the library because I just liked the scent of them.
One day, I was walking through the dorms opposite to mine to drop off a friend's jacket that was left in my car the other night. Upon making my way back toward the exit, I passed a door, slightly cracked and left untouched unlike most of the other girls in that dorm had done with theirs. No whiteboard with a name inked on it with a hot pink dry-erase marker, no stickers, no decor hanging from the doorknob with some cheesy line along the lines of "Currently dreaming, please do NOT come in." Not even a "Do Not Disturb" sign.
From the inside, I heard light sobbing, high pitched and soft like a songbird slowly dying in the street. I don't know why I did, but I stopped and peeked inside out of a random bout of concern and compassion. There was a girl sitting by herself in the dorm, crying hard into the palms of her hands. She glanced up for a moment at the ceiling, similar to the way people seek the sky to question God at the sight of tragedy. Though most of the other dorms were occupied by two girls, the other bed and the other side of the room was completely bare and dormant. I pursed my lips in hesitation before rapping lightly on the door with my fist.
"Excuse me," my voice cracked, "I heard you crying from out here… um, are you alright?"
"Um, yeah…" She quickly swiped the sleeve of her hoodie underneath both eyes and smoothed out her hair, clearly startled. I saw her kick the bottom drawer of her dresser shut through the slit in the doorway before she made her way to the door.
"Can I help you?"
I recognized her face quickly. She was in my four o'clock Tuesday/Thursday English class.
"I don't mean to sound creepy but I kind of overheard you crying on the way out… I just wanted to make sure you're alright?"
"Oh… I'm fine."
I didn't believe her for one second.
"You're in my English class." Smooth. "Uh, wanna grab a coffee or something?"
"I don't drink coffee." She shifts her weight to her other leg uncomfortably.
"…but I do like tea?" She offers a shy and polite smile.
"Boba, maybe?" Unless she doesn't like boba. I'm horrible at this and she can tell, but at least I tried.
"Sure." She smiles at me again. "Just let me grab my keys."
She walks back into her dorm, closing the door only slightly and for a split second I'm wondering if she's going to change in front of me as she grabs a piece of garment off of the drawer. I hear a jingling of keys as she swipes them off of her desk on the way back to the door. I notice she's only in a sweater and leggings. She quickly slips on a pair of short boots before reappearing in the doorway. Not exactly the thirty minute wait I was expecting.
"After you."
Boba dates slowly turned into study dates, study dates turned into movie nights. You catch my drift.
The more I got to know her, the more I started to like her, naturally. Her name was Kayla. She was cute in the petite Asian girl kind of way and didn't doll herself up like the girls at my school that I was used to. Always came to class a few minutes early and the type to stay after to ask a few questions about the latest assignment. Before I knew it, she'd become my personal tutor.
I made her my girlfriend after a few months. It was a mediocre relationship, but nothing negative at all—trips to the mall and the movies, high school style. I carried her books to class and she swung by my dorm occasionally with onion rings or french friends and my favorite boba.
One day, she invited me into her dorm.
Not exactly in the I'm-totally-gonna-get-it-in way, but in the I've-been-seeing-this-girl-for-a-few-months-now-and-this-is-the-first-time-she's-ever-invited-me-in type of way.
The first thing I noticed was that her dorm was still fairly barren, save the card I bought her for Valentine's Day sitting on her nightstand, her laptop on top of a stack of textbooks and a small piggy bank sitting on the corner of her desk. The other side of her dorm had an extra bed but that part of the room was still bare. She'd already explained to me that the lack of estrogen at our school had blessed her with a room to herself. She kept that side of the room neat, though, just in case another girl was sent her way.
Before we headed out on a dinner date, she told me to wait in her room while she freshened up in the bathroom down the hall. She turned on her iHome for me before leaving.
"I'll be back in a few minutes, sit tight!" She kissed my cheek and left the room.
Lauryn Hill's voice trickled in from the speakers. I smiled.
Fifteen minutes of twiddling my thumbs and gazing around her minimalist type of room passed before I noticed something sticking out of the bottom drawer of her nightstand.
I noticed this for two reasons:
One, because she'd always made sure all of her drawers were closed and her room was kept tidy before she'd left the room each time we had gone out.
Two, because the item was so odd and seemed so misplaced that it stuck out like a sore thumb.
It was a rope.
I pinched it between my thumb and forefinger and gingerly pulled it out, feeling kind of awkward and guilty like I shouldn't be going through her stuff and as if I was handling her underwear. A good five feet of rope came out of the small opening of the drawer before it got stuck. I glanced at the door before opening it just wide enough to be able to pull the entire thing out.
Before I could register what it was, I noticed a perfect knot tied to the end of the rope. It had gotten caught in the drawer slit prior to opening it wide enough because it was too large in circumference to allow it to slip through.
A knot perfectly loose enough to tighten the snare at the end, yet tight enough not to give and unwind.
A noose.
Horrified, I threw the rope back into the drawer and kicked it shut, standing up. It all made sense now.
The day I had caught her crying, she wasn't staring at the ceiling. She was staring at the ancient ceiling fan, replacement long overdue, rusted to the surface.
Just then, she walked back into the room, her face alight with a sweet smile before settling on the horror on my face. Her eyes wandered to my feet, unintentionally guarding the drawer behind my ankle, shut but about two inches of the rope sticking out of the corner.
She sighed and took my hand, seating herself on the bed.
"Why?" I asked accusingly, not bothering to sit beside her where she'd motioned me to sit. "Why haven't you gotten rid of this?"
"A reminder," she breathed. Her eyes glossed over, but she never took them away from mine. "I have more reasons to live than I do to ever use it."
The silence was unbearable. I know I had only known her for a few months, but even if it was just a token of regret that she'd decided to keep, I was still confused.
Breaking the silence, she took a deep breath. "You changed my mind."
"How?" My tone of voice gave away my clear sense of disbelief.
"You smiled at me."

'So sad' as Hull's Comet workers face bleak Christmas
Posted: November 02, 2012|
CITY council leader Steve Brady has spoken of his sadness at hearing 200 Hull Comet workers could lose their jobs.
Workers at the company's business centre in George Street now face a bleak Christmas after the electrical retailer announced it was calling in the administrators.
Staff in Hull were informed of plans yesterday morning and restructuring specialist Deloitte has been lined up to handle the administration.
Pressure from suppliers to pay up, combined with falling sales and a failure to secure insurance has been blamed for the move.

Firms owed millions after Comet collapse as Hull MP Alan Johnson says 'questions need to be asked'
Hull West and Hessle MP Alan Johnson and Councillor Brady travelled to London earlier this year to speak to the then newly-appointed Comet chairman, John Clare.
Their aim was to convince Mr Clare, a former director of Dixons, to try to preserve jobs in Hull.
Mr Brady said: "To hear it had gone into administration came out of the blue, although we knew they had been struggling.
"When Alan and I met with Mr Clare earlier this year, Comet had just been sold to Opcapita, which was planning to pump money into the business.
"He said he didn't know if it would work but hoped it would. However he did admit the next six months would be critical for the future of the business.
"It is so sad this has happened to another company founded in the city."
In May, following a 90-day consultation, 240 Hull staff were made redundant when the company closed its call centre in George Street.
About 40 workers were transferred to Comet's business centre, also in George Street, with the remaining 240 made redundant.
Comet was founded in Hull almost 80 years ago and went on to become a high street success story.
However, last year tumbling sales, combined with rising pension costs, saw the company report a loss of £22.3m in the six months to October 31.
The following month, its then- owners Kesa Electricals called time on the loss-making business and sold it to retail turnaround firm OpCapita for £2. As part of the deal, Kesa pumped £50m into the struggling electricals chain and took on the firm's pension scheme.
In February this year, ownership of Comet transferred to OpCapita LLP, a private investment partnership.
One employee, who asked not to be named, said staff seemed to be the last to know the bad news.
He said: "We all knew the company was struggling but we had no idea it was going into administration until we saw it in the news. When the call centre closed next door we also heard that second hand."
Former employee Keith Gibson, now business manager at Hull designer football glasses company Fan Frames, said: "I started at Comet when I was 17 and stayed there until I was about 29, so I practically grew up there.
"Some of the people I used to work for are still there and it's such a shame so many face losing their jobs.
"The problem I saw at the time but even more so now I'm running my own business is the fact Comet didn't develop its online offering.
"I used to buy from Comet all the time, even when I left, but for my last purchase – an XBox, I went to Amazon as Comet just couldn't compete on price."

This is what you get when denialists conduct an orchestrated campaign of lies about science:
Asked for their views about what scientists believe, 35% of respondents agreed that most scientists think that global warming is happening — a slight decrease — 3% agreed that most scientists think global warming is not happening, 41% agreed that there is a lot of disagreement among scientists about whether or not global warming is happening, and 21% said that they don't know enough to say.
How much disagreement on experts is there? Almost none:
Here, we use an extensive dataset of 1,372 climate researchers and their publication and citation data to show that (i) 97–98% of the climate researchers most actively publishing in the field support the tenets of ACC outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and (ii) the relative climate expertise and scientific prominence of the researchers unconvinced of ACC are substantially below that of the convinced researchers.

TUESDAY, July 5 (HealthDay News) -- The Arcapta Neohaler
(indacaterol inhalation powder) has been approved by the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration for the long-term treatment of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COPD symptoms include airflow obstruction, breathlessness,
chronic cough and excessive phlegm, the agency said in a news
release. Cigarette smoking is a primary cause of COPD, which
includes chronic bronchitis or emphysema.
Arcepta, among a class of drugs called beta2-adrenergic
agonists, helps relax the lung's airways. It is not intended to
treat asthma or the sudden, severe onset of breathing problems
associated with COPD, the FDA said.
The inhaler was evaluated in a series of clinical studies
involving nearly 5,500 people aged 40 and older who had been
diagnosed with COPD. Participants all had smoked at least a pack of
cigarettes per day for 10 years, and had demonstrated reduced lung
function. The most common side effects reported were runny nose,
cough, sore throat, headache and nausea.
The Arcepta Neohaler carries a boxed label warning that it
increases the risk of asthma-related death. The product should
not be used in people with asthma, unless used with a
long-term asthma control medication, the FDA said.
The product is marketed by Novartis Pharmaceuticals, based in
East Hanover, N.J.

If your Apple iPad isn't showing up in iTunes, here are the most common things to check:
1. System Requirements – If you've ever synced an iPod or iPhone then you will know about these. The computer you're syncing to must have iTunes version 9.1 or later, must support USB 2.0, and the Operating System must be Mac OS X (10.5.8 or later), Windows XP (with Service Pack 3), Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
2. USB Connection – A common issue with iTunes is that you generally can't have your device connected before you start iTunes. Disconnect your iPad from your computer and reconnect it. If that doesn't work, try a different USB port, or possibly a different USB cable.
3. Charge your iPad – If your iPad has a low or dead battery, then it won't show up in iTunes until it has a little bit of a charge. Charge the iPad for 10 minutes or so, then try to connect it again.
4. Restart your iPad – To restart the iPad, hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears, then slide your finger on the slider to turn it off. Turn it back on by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
5. Restart your computer – Restarting your computer can resolve any software/hardware issues that might be keeping your iPad from showing up in iTunes, and is always worth a shot.
6. Reinstall iTunes – If all else fails, try removing iTunes and reinstalling it.

2 TBSP coconut oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, minced
1.5-in piece of ginger, peeled and minced
3 carrots, thinly diagonally sliced
1 lb broccoli, chopped
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 c coconut aminos
2 c mushrooms, chopped
2 c cooked shredded chicken breast
1 TBSP lemon juice
1. Liquefy the coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
2. Add the onion and cook for approximately 5 minutes until onions are almost clear. Stir often.
3. Add garlic and ginger to the pan and saute for approximately 1 minute.
4. Add carrots, broccoli, salt and coconut aminos. Cook for 10 minutes, covered, stirring on occasion.
5. Remove lid and add mushrooms, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Add cooked shredded chicken, stirring to combine and bring all ingredients to the same temperature. Squeeze lemon juice over stir-fry once it reaches desired temperature.
Not sure what coconut aminos are? The best thing EVER. Well... close to it! They are an amazing alternative to soy sauce. With about 1/4 of the sodium of the lower sodium soy sauce and the obvious, NO SOY, coconut aminos have all the taste with none of the bad stuff!

From the author of The Abortionist's Daughter, a gripping new novel about a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon that changes the lives of everyone on board.
Peter, twenty-seven and unemployed, embarks on this journey to avoid his family, while Evelyn, a fifty-year-old biology professor, comes in search of a more visceral life. Ruth and Lloyd, veteran white-water rafters in their seventies, know they will never make this trip again. Jill, a stay-at-home mother with her husband and two boys in tow, craves the luxury of relinquishing control and following someone else's rules. Mitchell and his wife, Lena, are re-creating a historic river journey undertaken years before. Seventeen-year-old Amy Van Doren and her mother set off on this journey expecting little, especially from each other; together they will face the most daunting journey of all, one that has nothing to do with whitewater rapids.
And guiding them all is JT Maroney, who, in his 124 previous trips down the Colorado, thinks he has seen everything. Until now.
IN THE HEART OF THE CANYON brings Elisabeth Hyde's gifts for character and drama to a strikingly beautiful but persistently hostile landscape, where stifling heat and the volatility of the river combine to create treacherous physical and emotional challenges for all. Stunningly set and expertly paced, it is a literary adventure novel from a master of suspense.

Down in the heart of the canyon, in the bone-baking heat, they put their lives on hold.
Most of the travelers had never experienced anything quite like it. Peter Kramer, whose year mapping the jungles of Central America included a monthlong stay in an unair-conditioned hospital with a fever of 104, found it impossible to suck down more than short little
gasps of hot air. Evelyn Burns, professor of biology at Harvard University, spent the first day lecturing everyone about the tolerability of dry heat (105 in Arizona being nothing compared to 90 in Boston), then vomited five minutes into the first windstorm. Dr. and Mrs. Lloyd Frankel, river veterans, lay on their sleeping mats in stunned oblivion to the velvety orange wasps that scurried in blind circles on the hot
sand between them. And Amy Van Doren, who unbeknownst to her mother had weighed in at 237 pounds on the hotel spa scale the night
before the trip, rigorously shook the bottle of hot sauce over everything on her plate, for she knew that chile peppers made you sweat,
which in turn would not only cool her off but enable her to lose a few pounds.
JT, the head guide, had seen it all before. This being his 125th trip down the Colorado River, he'd witnessed time and again the universal
zombielike walk of his guests at the end of the day when they staggered up the beach in search of a campsite. He called it the Death
Walk and always reminded his fellow guides not to expect much volunteer help in the first few days of any July trip, as guests acclimated to the suffocating conditions of the Grand Canyon. It was simply a matter of physiology: the human body wasn't designed to go from a comfortable air-conditioned existence to the prehistoric inferno of canyon life in a day. When his heat-stomped campers marveled at his energy, he kept at what he was doing and raised an eyebrow and said, "You'll adjust."
JT was a man of few words.
At night it was so hot you slept without a blanket, or even a sheet, for well past midnight the winds continued to fan the heat off the sun-baked canyon walls. In early morning, as people shook out their clothes for scorpions, the air could feel temperate, and they might be
fine in just a bathing suit; but as soon as the sun's rays came barreling over the canyon walls, out came the long-sleeved cotton shirts, which got repeatedly dunked in the river, wrung out, and worn, soaked to chill, until sundown.
During the midday furnace, when even the guides crawled into whatever shade they could find and collectively dreamt of that first brisk morning in October when you could see your breath, JT himself would confront the heat head-on. Alone in his raft, he would kneel...
- A rafting trip down the Colorado River unites an unlikely group of people, and their adventure only gets wilder when a stray dog appears. When their luck turns bad, trip leader J.T. and his motley group must seize what joy they can as they paddle through the Grand Canyon despite injuries, arguments, and surprises. Mark Deakins performs with confidence and competence, making a mildly interesting novel one that is difficult to shut off once the myriad characters take form. Cassandra Campbell's role is smaller, but she too is part of the production's appeal. Even when the tension increases, the narrators remain consistent. Filled with appreciation for nature's beauty and peppered with incidents that demonstrate human foibles, CANYON is worth the ride. L.B.F. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review
"Hyde is well qualified to guide her readers through this . . . journey. . . . Her prose is vigorous and natural, her perception subtle, her voice and those o f her characters all-American."
- Kim Hubbard, People "Engaging. . . . Hyde has a keen eye for social dynamics, but she's just as good at keeping the adrenaline pumping. . . . She expertly evokes the thrill and terror of rapid-running. . . . A bracing ride."
- Tina Jordan, Entertainment Weekly "There's nothing predictable about either Hyde's plot or her searing conclusion."
- Diane White, The Boston Globe "Hyde vividly portrays both the wonders and horrors of white-water rafting."
- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "An astute, engrossing, character-driven affair. . . . The novel succeeds as both a study of strangers striving toward a common goal and as a suspenseful drama filled with angst and humanity. Hyde outshines herself with this wild ride."
- Page Lambert, author of In Search of Kinship, leader of creative river journeys for women "People say that a river trip down the Grand Canyon can change your life. But sometimes, as Elisabeth Hyde's quirky characters soon discover, it's best to let go of expectations--because on the river nothing, nothing, is what you expect. This finely wrought page-turner will keep you on a wild ride for all 226 miles. You won't want to put it down."
- Susan Clifford Braun, Library Journal "The reader is swept along with the characters through the strikingly beautiful canyon and the potentially deadly river. Great scenic description and fully believable characters make this adventure story well worth the ride."
- Beatriz Terrazas, The Dallas Morning News "Hyde has concocted a near perfect blend of humor and drama, heartbreak and redemption."
- Good Housekeeping "Hyde's novel unfolds on a harrowing rafting trip down the Colorado, during which 12 strangers share life-and-death moments and some lasting transformations."
- Leslie Doran, The Durango Herald "In the Heart of the Canyon is a book that flows like the river described within its pages. . . . Hyde has crafted a page-turner that is full of suspense and populated with interesting and emotionally appealing characters. . . . In the Heart of the Canyon is a great read for hot summer days and cool nights."
- Chris Bohjalian "A smart and powerful thriller."
- Anita Shreve, The Washington Post Book World "Arresting. . . . Astute. . . . Hyde is an author who should be with us for some time."
- Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air (NPR) "Darkly witty. . . . [The Abortionist's Daughter] accordions out into a suspense story and a comic noir, a novel of manners and an improbably romance. . . . Striking."
- The New York Times Book Review "Fascinating and complex."
- The Boston Globe "What a pleasure it is to read this well-crafted novel with complicated characters and interesting ideas."
- Joseph Finder, author of Company Man and Killer Instinct "This is ferociously paced, up-all-night suspense, an exquisitely wrought murder mystery that's also richly layered and morally complex, as intelligent and provocative as it is impossible to put down. Elisabeth Hyde is a master."
- The Denver Post "In keeping with the truly best writers, Hyde examines both sides of the issue, but offers only questions that probe deep into the secret hearts of readers everywhere. For answers, they will have to turn to themselves. . . . Compelling and timely. . . . A must-read."
- USA Today "Hyde does a terrific job of fleshing out her characters and dissecting all their problems."

Wondering the same thing!
Aug 19, 2014yankeefoxtrot in Greater Seattle
Hi Seattle chowhounders...visiting from the Bay Area board and hoping for some dining help for an upcoming trip to Seattle. I've been browsing the board a bit but haven't quite found my specific questions answered so here goes!
I've gotten several personal recommendations for Shiro's. I'm an adventuresome eater and think I'd enjoy doing omakase. I am traveling by myself, and not on a strict budget.
Is sitting at the counter the only way to go for the omakase experience? Should I go only if Shiro himself is at the counter?
Any other pertinent advice appreciated...thanks so much in advance :-)

Suggestions for a couple birthday dinners... [San Francisco]
Thought I'd update and say we ended up at Aziza, Perbacco, and Hog Island. Aziza was absolutely outstanding and we left more than full. We each shared an appetizer (the flatbreads with spreads and the duck confit basteeya), each got a main (him the beef cheeks, me the vegetable couscous), shared a dessert (raspberry sorbet with goat yogurt, chocolate ganache and sabayon). Also got two cocktails each. He was absolutely blown away by the meal and cocktails and it was just to his taste, and I found it incredibly memorable as well. Ambiance and service were delightful.
Perbacco was delicious as well, particularly the desserts and the stone fruit and burrata appetizer.
Hog Island was terrific as well, there was a huge line but they kept pulling out couples for two tops which got us in in less than 15 minutes.
Also visited Absinthe, Tartine, and El Farolito, all old standby favorites of mine. Not a bad meal on the whole trip.

Austinites traveling to SF to find the best pizza, help!
Golden Boy is my favorite overall (super casual/takeout), with BaoNecci (sit down but casual) a close second. I also really dig Beretta's (sit down and more $) pizza. I wouldn't go to Pizzeria Delfina again.

What is open for dinner 4th of July
Wondering this as well (aside from the open table recommendations).

Suggestions for a couple birthday dinners... [San Francisco]
Sons and Daughters looks delicious but I fear it will lean too much to my taste and not his as much. Quince looks like a good possibility! Thanks for your insight :-)

Suggestions for a couple birthday dinners... [San Francisco]
I am hoping to take my boyfriend to the city for a weekend getaway for his birthday and have a couple requirements that are not so easily searched for but easily recommended from personal experience -- and I think chowhounders are just the folks to help...
I would like to pick out two nice places for dinner. I don't mind spending a lot of money as long as the food is in line. We are both foodies but I have a much more moderate appetite than him which is a problem we run into with higher end cusine. I love the trend towards smaller portions, whereas he doesn't find them satisfying at all. (I have a feeling I would love a place like Atelier Crenn, but he would not for one example). I also prefer a good spirits program whereas he's perfectly happy with a not too complicated beer menu.
We are adventuresome eaters and like all kinds of cuisine - sushi, Italian, French, Thai, seafood, steak. They must take reservations (hate having plans like that up in the air!)
Even with my obsessive menu stalking and chowhound reading it's hard to get a read on portion sizes that will work for both of us. Some places I've considered (additional suggestions very much welcome!):
I hope this was specific enough and appreciate any help you can provide.
May 12, 2014yankeefoxtrot in San Francisco Bay Area
I would second both Artisan and Thomas Hill Organics. Couldn't go wrong with either one.

Last minute saturday dinner and Sunday brunch in the city...
Universal Cafe sounds perfect! My one question - a few older threads imply they don't take reservations, but their yelp page indicates they do...?
Last minute saturday dinner and Sunday brunch in the city...
Was actually considering Beretta for dinner. But no reservations which concerns me a bit...any input?
Last minute saturday dinner and Sunday brunch in the city...
Sorry for the slightly esoteric nature of this question, but I'm making a last minute weekend trip to the city and feel a little paralyzed by all my options!
I'm taking a friend back to SFSU, and will be staying in the outer sunset, but we are willing to travel anywhere else, and we both tend to like the Mission, but not tied to that. i have a car, but much prefer to cab or public transit. Cost is not an object but I think we would both prefer places on the more casual side as far as dress goes.
My one requirement is that they take reservations. I don't want to wait hours for a table on Sunday especially. We are both foodies and love a good craft cocktail.
Would love to hear your suggestions 'Hounds! Thank you so much in advance :-)
Another SF Ballet-Dining Related Question
I'm quite partial to Absinthe and as noted, they are open late. It is my favorite go-to in the city...beyond excellent service, great drinks and consistently good food.

Good breakfast and/or high end coffee within walking distance of Nob Hill?
To me it means not over roasted crappy stuff from Starbucks or Peets, usually offering a pour over or French press selection of single origin coffee. Espresso usually pulled ristretto.
Oh, and a macchiato should never, ever come in a bucket sized cup drenched with syrup and whipped cream. If you order a macchiato and it comes that way, you are certainly not in a third wave coffee house ;p

Good breakfast and/or high end coffee within walking distance of Nob Hill?
By the way, if anyone was curious about our other eating adventures:
Ryoko's - fantastic, cheap sushi. Tasty mochi, too!
Rickhouse - great drinks, but too crowded and loud for me (I couldn't get a res at Bourbon and Branch, will try next time)
Cantina - never experimented with Pisco before, really liked the vibe of this place, nice bartender
Contraband Coffee Bar - definitely on the level of Four Barrel and Ritual. Should have gotten beans to go but forgot. Best microfoam I've had in awhile (I'm a coffee snob. Not gonna lie!)
Dynamo Donuts - not as good as I remember from the last time I was there around 2yrs ago, but great coffee and atmosphere remains
Humphrey Slocombe - a perennial fave for me. Black sesame was really interesting, loved horchata, settled on Miso Peach. And of course secret breakfast is as good as ever.
Tartine - the dirty things I would do for that passion fruit cake. I had intended to go back a second time to stock up on croissants and tres leches, but never made it :-(
Golden Boy Pizza - certainly one of the best values and tastiest pizza around. Can't beat the pizza, a nice IPA, and the divey atmosphere. Love it.
Gelateria Naia - I want one of these so bad at home. New gimlet flavor is out of this world.
Absinthe - this is our traditional go-to restaurant. They were kind enough to find a last minute res for five on a Friday night, and gave us the best table in the house. Oysters were great, new corn/jalapeño soup was complex and flavorful, drinks were, as always, excellent. Wine pours were ridiculously big. Hawaiian tuna tartare was a miss, wanted to like it, but just not that interesting of a dish, the plantains made it weird. I could have eaten a gallon of the peach panna cotta!
Not a bad meal the entire weekend. I sure do love SF! :-)
Jul 01, 2013yankeefoxtrot in San Francisco Bay Area
Good breakfast and/or high end coffee within walking distance of Nob Hill?
Ended up at Contraband! Great coffee, color me a fan. Spot on recommendation! Thanks again :-)
Ended up at Tartine one morning, and unexpectedly met a friend for donuts at Dynamo the other morning.
Had so many great food experiences this weekend. It really is my favorite part about the city :-)

Wondering the same about coffee :-)
Jun 26, 2013yankeefoxtrot in San Francisco Bay Area
Good breakfast and/or high end coffee within walking distance of Nob Hill?
You guys are fantastic...thank you so much. I suppose just about anything will be an improvement over hotel coffee. :P
Jun 26, 2013yankeefoxtrot in San Francisco Bay Area
Good breakfast and/or high end coffee within walking distance of Nob Hill?
I will be staying at the Mark Hopkins over the weekend, and would love suggestions for a decent breakfast and good quality coffee within walking distance. I did do a search but didn't come up with much. We currently have Absinthe and Izakaya Yuzuki on the list for more upscale meals, but would delight in finding something close by for the morning hours.
For reference I like Four Barrel and Ritual quite a lot (so I'd like someplace with a pour over bar or third wave espresso, want to avoid Starbucks/Peets if possible). Or am I going to have to head to the mission to find anything decent?
A casual but tasty breakfast joint would be great as well. I don't mind walking a lot or paying a few bucks if it's good. Your recommendations are appreciated!

Waiting to Exhale.
Vibrant hues, eclectic patterns, resplendent smiles. Solange's music video for the incredibly infectious, "Losing You", has everything it takes to feed my sartorial soul and more: DVF, Opening Ceremony, Kenzo, J. Crew, Suno and a totally kick ass late '90s vintage Moschino "brick wall" pantsuit… Shwing!
Not since Apple's 1997 "Criminal", has a video so tickled my fashion pants into euphoria. Hands down the biggest fashion video of the last decade.

Akomplice clothing has released one of the most interesting Look Books of the season. Photographed during one night of protests at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte North Carolina the brand seems to acknowledge that clothing, in that American definition of free expression, is speech.
Images, while often failing to show off the clothes, display the tension and division of politics in the states. More than the photography or clothing, the merit of the project lies in the reminder that fashion is not solely the realm of the vacuous and inward looking. The clothes we wear and come to prominence are also a responsive cultural phenomena that exists in a historical context.
Thanks to Hypebeast and Highsnobiety for reporting.

Breakfast at Blu Jam.
This is my favorite dish at Blu Jam. It's called the "Olympus". Six egg whites scrambled with chopped flame broiled chicken breast, spinach, zucchini, and a fresh tomato basil sauce. Served with mixed greens and toast. I get no salt added, there's enough flavor from the sauce. No toast. And, I add fresh slices of avocado.

OK, gridlocked politicians we're used to. But why padlock the Statue of Liberty? You don't see other democracies shuttering landmarks and sending civil servants home just because their political parties can't get along. The potential for a shutdown is a quirk of American history. So if you're tired of blaming tea party Republicans or President Barack Obama, you can lay some responsibility on the Founding Fathers. Or blame Jimmy Carter. Or Newt Gingrich's temper tantrum.
