    Last Tuesday, the residents of Lubbock, Texas encountered a "haboob" (pronounced “huh-boob” [Arabic: هَبوب‎ habūb "blasting/drafting"]).
    According NOAA National Weather Service, "...derived from the Arabic word haab, which means wind or blow, haboobs are very strong dust and sand storms that move through hot and dry regions."

  So for tonight's Net, we ask: How much do you know about Lubbock and its haboob?
  Please give us your best answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.   
      ++ "Mixed Bag of 3 Trivia Questions -- #08: What's the Hubbub, Bubb?" ++

        A. "The Peoples' Republic of Jed Clampett", or
        B. "Lubbock It, or Leave It", or
        C. "Hub City".

Question #2: One of Lubbock's popular historic and cultural venues is the Buddy Holly Center?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

Question #3: Lubbock is considered the hub of the Texas High Plains area which is the largest contiguous producing region in the world of a certain crop. What is the name of this crop -- which is also derived from an Arab word -- just like "haboob"?

++ QUOTE(s) OF THE DAY ++  
        -- Jody James (Lubbock NWS office) commenting on the word "haboob":
         "It is a word of Arabic origin. We have a lot of words like that, like algebra.., so whether we know it or not, we have a lot of Arabic words in our lexicon."

2014[11]A -- Ins-Net As for Mar 14, 2014_Mixed Bag -- #07: Who's Who -- Sylvia Beach [ B - B - B ]

Insomniac-Net ANSWERS -- Friday[10], Mar 14, 2014 [ B - B - B ]
Tonight's Topic: "Mixed Bag of 3 Trivia Questions -- #07: Who's Who -- Sylvia Beach"
Answers = B - B - B 
   Good morning/evening, everybody! Thank you for joining us last night.
    We hope you discovered something interesting during the time we spent together on the Insomniac Net last night.
      -- The ever-delightful Shelley [KF7TBA] and LW [K7LWA]

You can get these Questions & Answers at Insomniac Net Questions and Answers (Messages Link)

     For tonight's Net, we have selected 3 Trivia questions about Sylvia Beach, whose was born on this day -- March 14, 1887.
        How much do you know about this famous, literary woman?
    Please give us your best answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question.  
      ++ "Mixed Bag of 3 Trivia Questions -- #07: Who's Who -- Sylvia Beach" ++
Question #1: Who was Sylvia Beach?
        A. Married to the British poet, Ted Hughes, she was an American writer who belonged to the Confessional poetry (i.e., the poetry of the personal or "I." style) movement, or
        B. As an American living in Paris, Sylvia started her own bookstore in 1919, called Shakespeare and Company -- specialized in modern literature, and catered to the growing number of English speaking readers in Paris, or
        C. Sylvia [KF7UHM] checks in with Jessica [KF7UHK] regularly on the Insomniac-Net.

Sylvia Beach's bookstore became a mecca for many ex-patriot American writers during the 1920s -- most of whom could only speak and write in English.
Literary Magazines were flourishing and writers such as TS Elliot, James Joyce, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ezra Pound, and Ernest Hemingway were finding new audiences. (1a)
Opened in 1919, Beach’s store moved to 12 rue de l’Odéon in 1921, where it became the center of Anglo-American literary life in Paris, a favorite haunt of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Gertrude Stein, James Joyce and many others. Forced to close the store during World War II, Beach never reopened it.
More details about the milieu at and around Shakespeare and Company and 1920s Paris, see this article (1b)

        Question #2: Why was Sylvia Beach famous in literary circles?
        A. She became famous only after her death with the publication of her semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, and her collection of poetry, Ariel, or
        B. She became famous in 1921 for risking her own money and reputation by publishing James Joyce’s novel Ulysses -- which was declared too pornographic to be published, or
        C. Sylvia [KF7UHM] and Jessica [KF7UHK] like sailing, music & laser light shows, and traveling.

For all the help she gave Joyce, Sylvia Beach received very little from Joyce (2a)
To view a copy of James Joyce's Ulysses on line, use the link below  (2b)

Question #3: How did Sylvia Beach die?
        A. After her husband left her and their two children, the last thing she wrote was a note she gave to her downstairs neighbor instructing him to call the doctor, and then she committed suicide using her gas oven, or
        B. Although her bookstore was closed in 1941 during the German occupation of Paris, she lived nearby until she died in 1962 at the age of 75 from apparent heart failure.
        C. Sylvia [KF7UHM] and Jessica [KF7UHK] are alive and well and should be checking in during our Net tonight.

The bookstore never opened again, but Sylvia stayed in Paris until her death on October 5, 1962.  She died in her small upstairs apartment in rue de l’Odean, the street where she had lived most of her life, where she had watched the twentieth century unfold, and where she found “her three great loves”: Adrienne Monnier, Shakespeare and Company, and James Joyce.  She was 75 years old.(3)

==============
[LW's Notes]
Many more people usually recognize the author Sylvia Plath than they do the Parisian bookstore owner Sylvia Beach.

In fact, Plath's fame primarily came from her semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, being published after she killed herself.

All the information in the Answers "A"s is factual, but just not relevant to our Who's Who topic of Sylvia Beach.
LW included both Sylvias in a vain hope to confuse your answers. He even sacrificed the only person he knows named Sylvia [KF7UHM] into the mix.
But why?

Because in 3 months, the 110th anniversary of  "Bloomsday" (named by Sylvia Beach) will occur. This is the day depicted in Joyce's Ulysses: June 16, 1904 in and around Dublin, Ireland.  And hopefully, LW will finally finished reading this book which he started as a sophomore in college!!!!

++ QUOTE(s) OF THE DAY ++  -- Robert Frost's poem,  “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” was published March 7, 1923,
(from The Poetry of Robert Frost, edited by Edward Connery Lathem. Copyright 1923)

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

By Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.   

His house is in the village though;   

He will not see me stopping here   

To watch his woods fill up with snow.   

My little horse must think it queer   

To stop without a farmhouse near   

Between the woods and frozen lake   

The darkest evening of the year.   

He gives his harness bells a shake   

To ask if there is some mistake.   

The only other sound’s the sweep   

Of easy wind and downy flake.   

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,   

But I have promises to keep,   

And miles to go before I sleep,   

And miles to go before I sleep.
