Guests are welcome to our historic campus at Boys Ranch, Texas. The sprawling campus occupies the site of Old Tascosa, a pioneer town where the likes of Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett walked its dusty streets.
Since 1939, though, the site has served a much different purpose. On land once known for gun fights and barroom brawls, Boys Ranch residents have learned the value of integrity, perseverance and faith in God.
All visits begin at Boys Ranch Headquarters, where guests must first check in. The safety of our residents is our first priority, so guests 18 and older will be asked to present their driver's license or photo ID.
Boot Hill Cemetery
Boot Hill Cemetery was named after the cemeteries in Dodge City Kansas and Tombstone Arizona. But unlike those, Tascosa's Boot Hill was actually located on a hill overlooking the town. Fred Leigh was the first to inhabit the cemetery, after being shot out of his saddle by Tascosa's first Sheriff, Cape Willingham, for shooting the head off of a duck!
Boothill
We hear these words time and time again: "This place has to be seen to be believed, it's incredible!" For those who've never visited our beautiful, historic campus, here's a look at where our life-changing work happens. If you ever find yourself in the Texas Panhandle, we'd love to show you around.

Cal farley and his legacy
Cal and Mimi Farley
In the late 1930s, Cal Farley was playing semiprofessional baseball by day and wrestling by night in Amarillo, Texas. Mr. Farley, a World War I veteran with an engaging personality, was a fan favorite at the ballpark, where he would deliberately hit foul balls over the fence to children gathered there, knowing they could exchange these balls for a free ticket to the game. Mr. Farley realized some of these children were hanging around the ballpark when they should have been in school, and he soon found many of them came from broken homes where guidance, supervision and love often were missing.
Mr. Farley began looking for ways to help these children and, in the fall of 1938, Texas Panhandle rancher Julian Bivins agreed to support the cause. Bivins donated about 120 acres of land 36 miles northwest of Amarillo. The following March, Mr. Farley established his boys ranch at the site, which long before had been home to Tascosa, a raucous pioneer town. On land that once was known for gun fights and barroom brawls, Boys Ranch residents learned the value of integrity and an honest day's work.
The Boys Ranch population quickly grew and, in 1944, Mr. Farley sought to bolster the boys' social education by hosting a rodeo. About one hundred people showed up, but the idea took root. Now, thousands attend the annual Boys Ranch Rodeo.
Boys Ranch programs expanded to include girls. Yet still, we hold true to the values set over seven decades and prepare young people to become responsible citizens

Julian Bivins Museum
Located in the original Tascosa courthouse serving Oldham County, the Julian Bivins Museum contains historical artifacts from Boys Ranch and Old Tascosa.
Tascosa was known as the "Cowboy Capital of the Plains" and was the rowdy home of settlers, cowboys, cattle thieves and lawmen.
The area provides an easy point to cross the Canadian River and an abundant source of drinking water from Atascosa Creek. This made Tascosa an ideal place for settlement first by Native Americans, then Spanish Pastores, and later large cattle ranches.
Tascosa was one of the first established towns in the Texas Panhandle region. The courthouse, built in 1884, served up to twelve counties.
Bypassed by the railroad, Tascosa fell from prominence and became a shadow of its once raucous self, only to be reimagined as a home for at risk children. In the early days of Cal Farley's Boys Ranch the courthouse served as a home for the first nine boys to live at the Ranch.

Gold Coast's last infill sites, 85 hectares in Carrara, secured for more than $20 mil
Diversified property group Gordon Corp has secured one of the Gold Coast's last infill sites, spanning 85 hectares in Carrara, for more than $20 million.
The Gold Coast-based developer secured the site in an off-market deal with plans to redevelop the land, located 10 kilometres west of Broadbeach, for both industrial and residential use.
The property is an amalgamation of eight lots, located at Eastlake Street, Hickey Way and Petherbridge Avenue, and comprises both industrial land of up to 27 hectares as well as a residential component located on Hickey Way.
Gordon Corp director Tim Gordon says his plans for the development, to be called City Link Industrial, is currently under application with the Gold Coast City Council with the goal to be ready to build in early 2020.
"We are excited to launch City Link Industrial project which will offer a mix of approximately 23 industrial lots for sale or lease ranging in size from 2000sq m to 1.5ha," Gordon said.
Gordon secured the site through Colliers International's Pat Cavanagh and Marlon Crawford, who will be exclusively marketing City Link via an expression of interest campaign.
Cavanagh and Crawford said they've seen interest from local businesses looking to buy and lease the sites within the estate.
"This will be the only industrial land subdivision offered to market within the central Gold Coast industrial precinct in recent times so we expect huge interest considering demand for industrial land in the region continues to outstrip supply," Cavanagh said.
"Gold Coast employment in construction, transport and logistics sectors is expected to grow 14 per cent and 16.5 per cent over the next five years to May 2023," Cavanagh said.
Gordon Corp have plans for a mixed-use residential and resort development (pictured) spanning a 1.92 hectare site near Dreamworld in Coomera.
In 2017 the developer secured a 22.16 hectare site in the central Gold Coast suburb of Arundel for $22 million, with redevelopment plans for a new industrial subdivision.

I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to participate in the Graven Image Illusion as the mind and the world system, through all ways and means possible - to keep the abusive system going while paying lipservice to my realization that the world must change without taking action financially, and politically, and in self-change to prepare and facilitate the change that I realize must happen.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that the only way to change the world in a peaceful way would be through political means and the direction of my financial support.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that I make a decision for what happens in the world financially daily - politically with every election in my thought participation in the mind daily - in the lack of disciplined action to accumulate the eventual result of change daily.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that I have come to trust money in the current world system as my daily decision where I completely disempower myself and dishonour life, justified as too big for little me to make any real difference, in spite of actual measurable solutions that are possible for humanity as a group, through standing as a group.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to participate in the mind when I have had already many examples that my own thoughts cannot be trusted, as they are abusive and nasty towards other beings when I do not get my self-interest fulfilled.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that when I make the decision to support life and to create a new system that will support life, there will be conflict in my world and many fear-based labels, as I will be perceived as a threat to the Graven Image Personalities that were part of my world – yet, I must do what I have decided I must do, breath by breath, till I in association with others that make the same decision accumulate sufficient power in the current system politically, financially and as the written word, to bring about the change that is best for all Life.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to be confused about the decision, where I am unwilling to look at what I am not willing to let go of, as controls that prevent me from becoming effective as contributor to a solution in this world, and that a decision will include the realization that my self-interest must be put aside till a new world system is in place, as I cannot serve 2 gods – I either serve Life as what is best for all Life, or I serve self-interest as what is best for me only. A decision must be made as who I am and accordingly it will show in what I do and how I do it, and that will serve as evidence for those that stand as the decision as Life, as to whom can be trusted to have made the decision and who not.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to deliberately disempower myself by taking on actions as an activist, while the real power behind activism is money, which comes from corporations that only serve the self-interest of profit, forcing me as activist into a compromise where I am useless in fact, and only a token that will never change the world in fact.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to make the decision as my mind, without realizing I must stop participating in the mind as part of the decision, and practically walk, breath by breath, and walk with people as a group that have made a life-decision, to receive all the support as I am giving the support within the measure that I am able to.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not see that during the process of planning and preparing for change, all will not be able to be equal in supporting the drive for change, and that each one will have to be self-honest and support the change according to ability - either financially, in blogging, in moderation, in research, in all necessary points, depending on self-honest assessment.
I forgive myself that I have accepted and allowed myself to not realize that a decision that is consistent, breath by breath, directive within what is now able to be done, is of great importance to show how we one by one will accumulate the standing as life, and that unless I stand visibly with the decision for Life, I have not yet actually made the decision to create myself and my world as Life.
I commit myself to show that who I am determines what I do, and that in what I do as my participation in this world, who I am will reflect.
I commit myself to show that peaceful change in the world is possible, through political means – and that all research, and training, and preparation to that eventual decision to enter the political arena, must be supported in every way possible, to confirm the decision that was made as Life.
I commit myself to show that lipservice is useless unless a plan exists as to how the world problem must be addressed to bring about a world that is best for all Life.
I commit myself to show that self-interest that resulted from the current world system that caused all the abuse, cannot be part of thedecision for Life, as what is best for all Life - as such decisions will be based on conditions that form part of abuse and can thus never result in what is best for all Life.
I commit myself to show by example that conflict will exist in the decision, and that it can be directed either through common sense communication, or through no participation in the abuse, till the self-interest of the abuser has researched consequence and change becomes possible.
I commit myself to show that a world that is best for all Life is in fact possible using the system that now exists on Earth.
I commit myself to call on all activists to reinvestigate their true support, so that those that realize that change is necessary can align themselves with practical solutions if they can get past their ego of self-interest and acceptance of the current system.
I commit myself to test my decision daily, to check that I am in fact aligned in my written words and actions, to an outcome that is best for all Life.
I commit myself to remind each one to take active responsibility to the measure each are able, as that would be a statement of being equal to the decision for Life made.
I commit myself to show in every way necessary that the accumulation of a group for Life is no different to the group on Earth now formed by consumers in the pursuit of happiness and self-interest. The group for Life will obviously interfere with the happiness of the ones that only are concerned with self-interest.


WASHINGTON — Now that the military mission against the Islamic State group in the Middle East is winding down, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have shifted to the next looming fight: deciding who deserves credit for the success.
On Wednesday, members of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee sparred over whether battlefield success against ISIS in recent months is the result of new leadership from President Donald Trump or a years-long military strategy just now coming to completion.
Defense Department officials said the extremist group has lost nearly all the territory it once held, and the military mission has shifted from liberating large swaths of Iraq and Syria to rooting out enemy fighters hiding in remote areas.
Trump has repeatedly said that his decision to boost troop numbers in the region, allow more airstrikes and special operations forces missions against ISIS strongholds, and more aggressively pursue victory have made the difference in the once-stagnant conflict.
Republicans on the oversight committee echoed those comments, attacking former President Barack Obama for micromanaging the war and failing to take the threat seriously.
"President Trump has made great strides in the fight against ISIS," said Rep. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., chair of the panel's defense subcommittee. "But the American people are not seeing that story. Instead, they see nightly stories in the mainstream press about Russian interference and other issues.
The hearing's panel of witnesses included Sebastian Gorka, former deputy assistant to Trump on national security, who praised his former boss and — prompted by lawmakers — attacked Obama for "not having the will to win" during his presidency.
"The Trump administration has taken what the Obama White House called a generational threat and made it strategically irrelevant in the space of just a few months," he said.
Democrats disputed that. They noted that the lengthy military campaign against ISIS began in October 2016, before Trump's election. And they also credited Obama with forcing regional military leaders to accept more responsibility in the counteroffensive, after they allowed rise of the militant group in the years after the Iraq war. The overall campaign against the ISIS threat, formally known as Operation Inherent Resolve, began in October 2014.
In response, Republicans revived campaign rhetoric from last year's presidential contest blaming Obama for the formation of ISIS and the "abandonment" of the region after the Iraq war. Democrats countered with concerns that increased airstrikes in the region under Trump have lead to a growing number of civilian deaths.
The sparring devolved into yelling when Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., questioned Gorka over past comments from Trump related to the Holocaust that he called anti-Semitic. Gorka pleaded with the subcommittee chairman to rein in Krishnamoorthi, accusing him of wandering off-topic and spreading lies.
In the middle of the exchange were outside experts who offered more moderate assessments of the progress in Iraq.
Gorka and Republican members of the committee disputed that assertion.
All the witnesses warned that the next step for the effort against ISIS is countering continued propaganda by the group which could help galvanize terrorist attacks by affiliated individuals and recruit a new wave of ISIS fighters.

Fighter pilots made 'brief' contact with man who stole plane from Sea-Tac Airport
After honoring those involved in the response to the stolen plane out of Sea-Tac earlier this month, a colonel in the Oregon Air National Guard confirmed that the fighter pilots made contact with Richard Russell.

He didn't get into too many specifics, but Colonel Adam Sitler confirmed that fighter pilots made contact with the man who stole a Horizon Air plane from Sea-Tac Airport before it crashed.
Col. Sitler said what happened on Aug. 10 is an example of how the pilots from the 142nd Fighter Squadron of the Oregon Air National Guard are ready for any situation.

On Thursday, after honoring those involved in the response, Col. Sitler said fighter pilots did establish communication with Richard Russell as he flew the stolen Q400 Horizon Air plane. They were able to make "brief communication," he said.
Though he wouldn't say exactly what the fighter pilots were attempting to do as Russell flew the plane, he said, in general, pilots will attempt to establish communication in that kind of situation. That information is relayed back to command before any action is taken.
Two F-15C fighter jets flew at supersonic speeds from Portland to the vicinity of McChord Air Force base that day, according to information from the North American Aerospace Defense Command. The NORAD fighters were working to redirect the aircraft out over the Pacific Ocean. Instead, Russell, a 28-year-old employee of Horizon Air, crashed the on Ketron Island in Pierce County.
Audio between air traffic control and Russell indicated the man to potentially be in emotional crisis.
At one point, air traffic control can be heard saying that Russell was "just flying around," and "just needs some help controlling his aircraft."
Russell was killed in the crash. Nobody else was injured.

Q: Upgrade Scrum 2.1 process template to Scrum (TFS 2107) I've been using TFS 2012 to create a team project that uses Scrum 2.1. I recently upgraded to TFS 2017. I want to configure my Test Plan, but when I go to configure parameters for it, TFS tells me that I need to upgrade the Template

I've downloaded the Scrum 2017 template, taking it from the server installation. I also downloaded the Scrum 2.1 template. Most guides I've read suggests that carefully I need to copy and paste my custom XML from the current template to the new one.
But I have never customized the 2.1 template. Can I simply override the 2.1 files with the new Scrum 2017 files?
Otherwise, which files are the most likely I should change?

A: No, you can't override the process template as you said. You need to upgrade the process template. If it can't upgrade automatically, you need to apply updates manually.
More information, you can refer to: Configure features after an upgrade.
You can open new threads on Stack Overflow or MSDN forum if there are issues that you can't fix, we can help you to deal with these issues.

در این تحقیق، مصرف انرژی و انتشار آلایندههای زیستمحیطی تولید کلوچه در استان گیلان مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. دادههای لازم از طریق پرسشنامه و مصاحبه حضوری از 30 کارخانه تولید کلوچه جمعآوری شد. نتایج این پژوهش نشان داد که مقدار 50/30 مگاژول انرژی برای تولید هر کیلوگرم کلوچه مصرف شده است که بیشترین سهم انرژی مصرفی به گاز طبیعی با 09/17 مگاژول بر کیلوگرم اختصاص داشت. براساس نتایج ارزیابی چرخه زندگی، شاخص گرمایش جهانی برای تولید هر کیلوگرم کلوچه kg CO2 eq. 73/3 تعیین گردید که در حدود 51 درصد آن مربوط به احتراق گاز طبیعی جهت فرآیند پخت است. در نهایت، مدلسازی میزان عملکرد و اثرات زیستمحیطی براساس دو مدل شبکههای عصبی مصنوعی و سامانه استنتاج فازی- عصبی تطبیقی (انفیس) انجام شد. مقایسه نتایج نشان داد مدل انفیس چند لایه قادر است تا با دقت بیشتر و خطای کمتر عملکرد محصول را برآورد کند.
In this study, energy consumption and environmental emissions of cookie production in Guilan Province of Iran was investigated. The required information was collected using questionnaires and interviews from 30 factories of cookie production. Equivalent energies of inputs and outputs were calculated based on the standardized energy coefficients. The results of this study showed that 30.50 MJ of energy was consumed for production of one kilogram of cookie in which the highest share of energy consumption was allocated to natural gas with 17.09 MJ kg-1. Based on life cycle assessment (LCA) results, global warming (GW) index was calculated as 3.73 kg CO2 eq. per kilogram of produced cookie which about 51 percent of that was related to combustion of natural gas consumed in cooking process. Finally, the modeling of amount of yield and environmental impacts was conducted based on two models of artificial neural network (ANN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). The results showed that ANFIS was capable of predicting yield with more accuracy and less error.

If I put a 0 in it, it compiles (and should work due to g_extensionMapSize=0), but maybe it would be nicer to remove it completely, along with FindExtEntry.
Btw.: Thanks for the 2 previous fixes. They came pretty quick.
I've got what appears to be a fix for the problem in changelist 60193ba. I'll push out a 1.0.1 release later today or early tomorrow. But if you want the fix, just go to the Download page and download the 1.0 branch.
Also, you may want to try the new noload_cpp (assuming you're using C++, of course) style that was introduced in 1.0. You don't even have to call an initialization function. Just call the OpenGL functions (when a context is current of course), and each function you use will be loaded as needed. The old and defunct GLee used to do this.
I also tested noload_cpp with this fix and it does work (it also had the same problem).

Fire and ice: Crews train for water rescue
Chris Torres
ctorres@thedailyjournal.com
MILLVILLE – The weather was perfect for ice Wednesday morning that enabled more than a dozen firefighters to slide, fall into and pull each other out of Hankins Pond at Corson Park.
Firefighters enjoyed the conditions, but firmly understood the reason for being on the ice could potentially save lives this winter and beyond.
City firefighters were on the icy pond nearly two hours Wednesday for ice rescue training. The session was conducted by members of the Downe Township Fire and Rescue Dive Team, which serves as the official dive and ice rescue team for Cumberland County.
A total of 17 city firefighters have been trained since last weekend. The group was split into two sessions for live training. Wednesday was the final day, and the first group hit the ice last Saturday.
Downe Twp. Fire Chief Cliff Higbee demonstrated different rescue methods to pull people or animals from icy waters. First, firefighters learned how to pull themselves out of the ice by using small ice picks to climb out of water holes and onto the ice, before laying on their stomachs and moving with short strokes toward the shore.
After that, the group learned how to pull others out with a sling and a sled.
"The main thing is repetition," Higbee said. "Our guys do it at least twice a year. We promote every company to do it at least once (per year). These conditions are perfect with the soft ice."
Millville Fire Capt. Mike Lippincott said the department will plan on hitting the ice once a year, and practice putting their red wet suits on once a month. The fire captain said they're required to put the suits on in less than a minute.
"It's excellent training," Lippincott said. "It's a little cold, but the suits work well. The hardest part is getting out of the hole (in the ice), once you get in with the victim and try to get back up. The ice is already slippery, and then you have the layer of water on top it."
Higbee said he's encountered more situations in recent years where people tried to take matters in their own hands to rescue pets from deep waters.
"In a situation like that it's hard to do, but try to stay calm," he said. "Keep your arms up on the ice. The main thing is don't panic. Holler for help, and when you have help coming, stay there, keep your arms on the ice and keep kicking. Try to stay as warm as possible. It's tough to do, but the main thing people do is panic, wear themselves out, and sometimes by the time rescuers get there they've already gone under."
Before city firefighters were trained, the Downe Twp. team was automatically dispatched to water rescues. Lippincott said that would continue, but now Millville will assist by facilitating rescues until Downe Twp. arrives on scene.

Since we were only 100 km from the border this didn't seem to surprise him much, but it felt great to say it out loud. Yes, today we are riding to Vietnam!
This tiny yellow building was the size of an elevator shaft.
Here's the yellow building in context.
One of the men is from Indonesia, and we talked a bit about our plans when we finally reach there, probably in three months. He gave us the usual warnings about certain areas being dangerous and then we rolled out of the hotel – and all the way to a new country.
The ride was uneventful, but the weather was hot and muggy. I am expecting a lot of muggy weather as we ride through Southeast Asia, so this was a good warm-up I suppose. I am not a fan of this kind of weather, having grown up in Southern Ontario where the summers can be painfully humid and hot, without a breeze to be had.
This town is really on the ball for year of the horse.
We passed a beach resort, fishing village, and industrial area. They were all in the same place, Guangxi.
Lion knocker at our lunch stop, Guangxi.
Jane, on the other hand, kept saying, "I don't mind this so much. It's better than being cold." She does have a point.
It took us a couple of tries to find the correct entry point at the border – it is strangely hidden. Partly this is because you cannot drive across the border between Dongxing and Mong Cai. It is a pedestrian-only crossing. Well, pedestrians and bicycles thankfully, although we were the only ones with bicycles.
Very exciting sign, 13 km from the border to Vietnam.
Our border crossing was painless. All the guards seemed quite interested in us and our bikes. The Chinese ones asked us about our trip in China, asked us to come back and visit again, and had us stop for photos in front of the final mile marker at the border.
A Vietnamese guard said, "Welcome to Vietnam." It was all quite friendly and simple. Not at all the serious, stressful event that is crossing from Canada into the US.
Everyone was getting their picture taken on the Vietnam side, Dong Xing border crossing to Vietnam.
Most of the people crossing were Vietnamese, and had come to China to buy goods for resale in Vietnam. Men and women were hauling massive boxes, strapped to their backs, that were loaded with clothes and shoes. The boxes were huge, and obviously painfully heavy. Carrying them made most people double over under the weight. It made us thankful our luggage is attached to our bikes and rolls along with us.
In Mong Cai, on the Vietnamese side of the border, we stopped in at a bank to exchange our leftover RMB. The woman at the bank told me she could only exchange US dollars (or a few other currencies), but not Chinese Yuan. I asked her if there was somewhere we could exchange them, and she walked me outside and told me that down the road, about 50 metres, sitting under a tree, was a woman with a box. She would exchange it for me.
I asked if we should wait until we got to Ha Long or Ha Noi to exchange our money and she told me we actually wouldn't be able to exchange it there. We could only do it here in Mong Cai. We had not read this anywhere before, so it came as a surprise to us.
We figured out what the exchange rate should be and rode down to find the lady under the tree with a box. Sure enough, there she was. She actually gave us a decent exchange rate, showing it to us before taking our money, then counting our money out, showing us her count on the calculator and multiplying it by the exchange rate. No sleight of hand or trying to confuse and rip off the tourists here. In no time at all we had Vietnamese cash.
It felt odd to be changing our money like this, but it was an interesting experience. Definitely not something I have ever done before.
Oh, and happy birthday to me. Yes, today is my birthday.
Stephen's birthday breakfast. As close to cake as we could find.
It's a really nice birthday present to have crossed over into another country. I am looking forward to seeing what Mong Cai has in store for us for dinner tonight.
Happy birthday ! I have been having trouble connecting to the internet so i am sorry we are late with the good wishes. We are just staring to sail upriver to Saigon. We are so excited to see you both soon!
Thanks Diane. It is quite understandable. I wouldn't expect you to have much access to the internet. We are in Ha Long – look forward to seeing you in a few days. Enjoy Ho Chi Minh City.
Stephen, I hope you have a happy birthday. I know someone else who celebrated a birthday in Vietnam once! Hope it was all great!
Thanks Patti! We rode to Ha Long Bay today and Jane said, as we rode in, "Hey, I recognise this. I have been here before!" Even in the wintery mist it is beautiful. Can't wait to get out an explore the islands.

So what if it is a capital strike that we're facing? Wouldn't the answer lie in a genuine national bank? It's an interesting question to raise this month as China privatizes a fifty-year-old agricultural bank. What the Maoists could teach us is that when capital is not forthcoming in time of national crisis a national bank can step in for five or more decades to tide the people over. Nothing has to last forever.
At the level of pure concept there is no reason why the contemporary crisis of labor paralysis cannot be directly addressed at the speed of light by bit torrents of micro investments lightning-flashed to entrepreneurs looking for a little startup help organized around heartland exchanges in places like Omaha. And there are probably a few folks in Omaha who could rack a server for this kind of thing by Labor Day.
The problem with the capitalists who are on strike now is that they are living under an antiquated paradigm of exotic genius, channelled communication, and crony networks. Their secret hero is John Galt of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" who privately invented the secret to prosperity but refused to share it with the workers who would be needed to make it so.
The appropriate answer to this calculating heart of striking capitalists is to say, but John Galt you are not. Just because you own the vaults where you have stashed the fruits of labor past does not mean you own the future. As San Francisco economist, Henry George, argued, capital does not pay wages. Wages are produced by labor.
I'm no economist, but anyone can see that it is a bad deal for any community when the needs of the community are no longer being produced by the community itself. A capital strike is a way of saying that a part of the community has the power to shut down the wherewithal of the whole. A capital strike withholds the tools to make value with, leaving labor out to rot.
If there is a capital strike afoot as internet chatter suggests, then there ought to be a way of publicly discovering the strikers' motives and forcing the issues into arbitration. Profits, like any other form of private property, are distributed by legal conventions that ultimately rest upon the consent of the governed. Profits are handed over to capitalists because there is an implied social contract that expects the profits to be converted into new tools of value creation. If capitalists are going to break the cycle deliberately, and withhold next year's tools, then it is time for some kind of renegotiation.
I think that the value of negative social mood might lie in the way it determines us to revisit all the things we used to trust. Either employers are going to come out and level with the workers they are striking against, or the struck workers are going to have to find new ways of creating employers they can trust.
The dot com boom brought us not only the tools to more rapidly reconfigure our networks. It also generated a cooperative model of open source productivity energized by genuine engagement from folks who have organized themselves to build value. The open source consortium is neither anti-corporate nor pro-corporate. It is a way of organizing community needs while parsing consensual divisions of labor between use value and exchange value.
In the emerging Facebook world order, where all ideas can be YouTubed and PayPalled, there is no reason for all us little tugboats in the harbor to waste our engines pushing against the hull of some delusional USS Ahab. It ain't hardly American to wait for anybody's high up permission to get along as best we can. The Constitution is ours only if we keep it. It will sink with Ahab only if we let it go.

Home > Eck's Saloon
Eck's Saloon was established in June 1981 by Mr. Gary Eckert in our front bar, restaurant & patio. Over time it expanded to include the majority of the building and was known for the pool hall & live music venue. After bringing in local radio station KBPI it became one of the premier live music destinations in metro Denver and employed 32 people.
In 1998, after Gary decided he needed a change, the business was sold to Michael Bruno, who owned its sister bar, Iliff Park Saloon, and both locations continued to focus on bringing in the best in local, national and international rock and hard rock performers until 2011.
2012 saw the bar change hands to a string of owners who, due to bad management, unforeseen circumstances, changing music tastes and a lack of building maintenance, saw its reputation ruined with the local community and it ultimately closed in 2014.
After sitting empty for a period of time, Simon Compari took over in 2016 and spent the next year working on it. Silver Spur Saloon opened its doors New Year's Eve 2017 and although a number of great improvements were made, lingering safety and maintenance issues made it difficult to manage. It closed in August 2018 when building occupancy was lost from an inadequate fire alarm.
The current owner was stage manager for Simon, who having revered in the history, has spent the past two years bringing the building up to code, cleaned & modernized the stage, replaced the sound, light & network systems, bringing everything to its full potential.
The decision was made to return the front bar to Eck's Saloon to honor its history as its beloved by the local community and the music scene all but demanded it, but we're calling the stage area Antero Hall in order to differentiate it from its hard rock roots and country failings.
Building occupancy was regained in February of 2019 and after many sputtering starts we were finally ready to go in March of 2020, the week before COVID-19 lock-downs began.
Effective June, 2021 we're still here, COVID-19 regulations have been lifted and we are open for business!
If you've got pictures or stories, send them to info@anterohall.com and and we'll add them to our gallery, or come on by and tell us in person. We LOVE learning more about the history of this place and the surrounding neighborhood.

Chris Smalley receives an official Letter of Recognition from Essexs chief fire officer Adam Eckley.
Special thanks have been made to a fireman who put out a blaze while off-duty.
His commendation became part of the celebrations for Dunmow Fire Station's diamond jubilee.
In August, firefighter Christopher Smalley used extinguishers to put out a fire in a cattle pen.
He released the cattle from the enclosure, some of them having been badly burned, he make sure they were safe from the flames and gave medical help to two farm workers before the paramedics arrived.
Mr Smalley received an official Letter of Recognition from Essex's chief fire officer Adam Eckley, who joined the crews to mark 60 years of the station on Thursday, December 3.
Mr Eckley said: "Great Dunmow's 60th anniversary is significant milestone and a fantastic achievement.
"I would like to say a very well done to, not only the current team but all the firefighters who have served there since 1955, for their dedicated and selfless service to their community.
The fire station covers Duck End in the north of the area to the Bacon End in the south, along with Takeley in the west and Bannister Green.
