The issue of construction traffic in Donabate has once again been raised with the HSE with a local TD claiming that it is of major concern for local residents. A number of projects are taking place in the area including the development of the National Forensic Hospital. Other works include work on the Tusla resident childcare facility project which is due to be completed in the first quarter of this year. Furthermore, construction work is due to commence on the ground floor of block 1.2.3 at St. Ita's hospital campus towards the end of this month. Deputy Alan Farrell (FG) said: 'Construction traffic in Donabate is a major concern for many residents in the local community, particularly as we approach further development for the new National Forensic Mental Hospital at St. Ita's.

*Li han's first meeting with trevayne before the war.
Why did you despise Trevayne?
He struck me as just too dogmatic. Not only was evidence of the Federation's corruption evident to people all the way back in ISW4, but his own son tried to point things out. Trevayne was basically, "The Federation: love it or don't criticize it." Then he almost massacred the Rebel Fleet at Zephrain because he blamed the Republic for his son's death. Which, to me, makes him a hypocrite who won't take responsibility for his own actions. And I found the love affair tedious. If he was going to feel angst, let it be for serving a corrupt regime, not for "betraying" his dead wife. Basically, I had as much empathy for him as for someone like Rajampet, who also served a corrupt regime.
Aside from that, he was okay.
Actually if I remember right it wasn't his son's death he was thinking about between the Republic/Rebel surrender Zephrain and him aborting the missile attack it was the deaths of his wife and daughters. They were killed when one of the task forces that defected to the rebellion in the early days of the war, before the Republic was established in fact, nuked the world they were living on.
And than later he asks Li if she was part of that attack, and she realizes what had happened but still refers to it as a proud action or something to that effect. Honestly I think that most people in his place would be tempted to let the missiles hit despite the surrender and in the end he did stop them so I don't see the temptation as something to hold against him.
Actually, only the ground fight in Cimarron is added. The warp point attack where TRNS Longbow is destroyed and the meeting with Han, Trevayne and ADM Pritzcowitski was in the original book.
Also added is a relationship between Lad's brother (the aforementioned Marine) and the Novaya Rodinan girl that ends up being VP of the Terran Republic.

Trust People, Not Money
December 20, 2018 Eric	1 Comment
The Homebrew Computer Club was an important nexus in the underground computer culture that developed in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1970s. Out of this informal grouping of computer hobbyists, freaky engineers and long-hair technologists came several of the early computer companies that would quickly develop and spread the Personal Computer revolution and ultimately the Internet/World Wide Web domain two decades later. In the traditional telling of this history, the influence of the San Francisco Diggers has been completely overlooked and overshadowed by the rise of the commercial products of the computer revolution—Apple, Microsoft, IBM PC, etc. But the Diggers played a key role in the early culture of the computer underground that continues to this day in the form of open-source software and the idea that the Internet should remain Free. Here's the proof (i.e., evidence) of this thesis.
Fred Moore was one of the founders of the Homebrew Computer Club. The history of this group is well documented.* But one aspect of Fred Moore's philosophy has never been mentioned. Fred was inspired by the Diggers. I will delve into this in more detail but for now, after long desire to get this document posted for all to share, here's one of Fred's digger-inspired manifestos. He wrote this in 1974.
Put Your Trust in People, Not Money
(published anonymously by Fred Moore, 1974)
Money is obsolete, value-less, anti-life, etc. The use of money displaces trust, causes alienation, fragments community, tends to reduce everything and every being to a commodity, etc. Money is the economic language of our present society. Buying, selling, renting, and charging interest are the rituals that maintain and reinforce the myth of the market economy. The myth is that everything has a monetary price. And the only value is price.
Money is a symbolic tool. Yes, and in using that tool over and over we have subjected ourselves, our social relationships, and the ecology of our environment to that tool—so that now we are finding that we are not the master of the tool, but the tool has become the measure of us and our world. Money is God.
*Here's an excerpt from Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs. This is an account of how Steve Wozniak met Steve Jobs and Woz's early inspiration to give away his Apple computer for free, and how Steve Jobs convinced him otherwise.
Woz was usually too shy to talk in the meetings, but people would gather around his machine afterward, and he would proudly show off his progress. Moore had tried to instill in the Homebrew an ethos of swapping and sharing rather than commerce. "The theme of the club," Woz said, "was 'Give to help others.'" It was an expression of the hacker ethic that information should be free and all authority mistrusted. "I designed the Apple I because I wanted to give it away for free to other people," said Wozniak.
This was not an outlook that Bill Gates embraced. After he and Paul Allen had completed their BASIC interpreter for the Altair, Gates was appalled that members of the Homebrew were making copies of it and sharing it without paying him. So he wrote what would become a famous letter to the club: "As the majority of hobbyists must be aware, most of you steal your software. Is this fair? . . . One thing you do is prevent good software from being written. Who can afford to do professional work for nothing? . . . I would appreciate letters from anyone who wants to pay up."
Steve Jobs, similarly, did not embrace the notion that Wozniak's creations, be it a Blue Box or a computer, wanted to be free. So he convinced Wozniak to stop giving away copies of his schematics. Most people didn't have time to build it themselves anyway, Jobs argued. "Why don't we build and sell printed circuit boards to them?" It was an example of their symbiosis. "Every time I'd design something great, Steve would find a way to make money for us," said Wozniak. Wozniak admitted that he would have never thought of doing that on his own. "It never crossed my mind to sell computers. It was Steve who said, 'Let's hold them in the air and sell a few.'"

Lew Welch Special
December 5, 2018 Eric	Leave a comment
Here's a scan of Lew Welch's piece "A Moving Target Is Hard To Hit" which the Communication Company printed and distributed on Haight Street in the pre-Summer of Love (March, 1967). I was talking with my friend Mel Ash today and it turns out we two were similarly affected by Lew Welch's outpouring of poetic genius. I thought I had posted this scan on the Digger web but it turns out I only have the xerox that I made in 1974. I will have to update the catalog to remedy that oversight. But in the meantime, here's for you, Mel (and Lew).
The hypocrisy of political correctness
October 18, 2018 Eric	2 Comments
The hypocrisy of political correctness. The City removed the tableau on the other side of this monument* in San Francisco's civic center that depicted a Native California Indian in a subservient pose with two Spanish figures (missionary, vaquero). And yet this statue remains depicting the miners who flocked to California after news of the discovery of gold in 1848 at Sutter's mill first spread to Yerba Buena (the Spanish pueblo that would become San Francisco) then nationwide. The Forty-Niners (depicted below) on the whole were a catastrophe for California Indians, much more so than the Spanish and subsequently Mexicans had been. The Forty-Niners carried out what can only be called genocide on the Native peoples.

Planet Drum Retrospective
September 7, 2018 Eric	Leave a comment
In the history of the 1960s Digger movement in San Francisco and the West Coast, there is an arc of events and a continuity of intention that can be discerned starting in the late 1950s with the Beat poets and avant-garde happenings amidst the burgeoning social movements of the period. The Diggers themselves formed out of a nexus of radical arts and social consciousness that swirled around the San Francisco Mime Troupe and the Haight-Ashbury formations that took place in 1965 onward. Ecology was always an important aspect of this continuity. When the Diggers dispersed from their daily activities on the streets of San Francisco after the Summer Solstice 1968, many moved to rural outposts with the intent of creating new social formations as they had done in the urban context. Planet Drum was a signal moment in 1972 when Peter Berg and Judy Goldhaft returned to the City from their travels to remote communes and country families. Planet Drum at first was a communication medium — periodic bundles distributed to a wide-flung network to stay in touch with others who were attuned to the idea that would come to be known as "bioregion." Later, Planet Drum was the name of the non-profit foundation that was incorporated to engender awareness of and communication with all manner of bioregional groups and activities across the continent and worldwide. Planet Drum Foundation is still active with dozens of programs and projects.
The San Francisco Public Library's Wallace Stegner Environmental Center is hosting a retrospective exhibit on the history of Planet Drum. This exhibit takes place from September 1 through November 29, 2018. For anyone close by, it is well worth the visit.
Click here for more information on the exhibit. The collage of images (above) are a selection of the informative placards in the current exhibit. Judy Goldhaft will host groups of 5-20 people who are interested in a guided tour of the exhibit. Contact Planet Drum (415-285-6556 or mail@planetdrum.org) to make the arrangements.
Angels of Light Protest Paid Show
April 11, 2018 Eric	Leave a comment
The Angels of Light were one of the groups that survived the Fall of the Haight in the late 1960s and became part of the thriving Free Commune movement in San Francisco in the 1970s. The Angels had broken away from The Cockettes in 1969 to perform Free Theater for other communes and the counterculture community in the Bay Area. "Free" was an inviolate principle, which had been passed down from the original Diggers in the Haight starting in 1966. The Diggers had held an event called the "Free City Convention" on May 1, 1968, at the Carousel Ballroom. It was at this event that Ralph met Jet and Irving and Hibiscus from the Sutter Street Commune. The rest is history.
Here is a photo from a protest the Angels organized in 1973 at the paid showing of "Pickup's Tricks" a film that Gregory Pickup produced in part from footage he had taken at an Angels performance. Paid shows (like this film) were boycotted in the Free community.
What is a Fou Ratt?
January 9, 2018 Eric	Leave a comment
Came across this article from the East Village Other in 1967. It highlights Jim Fouratt and his escapades as a digger in New York after he left San Francisco in 1967. (See below for transcription of the article which appeared in the 8/19/67 issue of the paper.)
Transcription of the text:
A Fouratt is a small furry digger who gets arrested all the time.
Jim Fouratt used to be a member of Progressive Labor, he was active in the civil rights movement, and before that a child actor. Recently he has completed the cycle and has become a digger, or in effect returned to being a child actor.
Doing his thing in Newport he was thrown out of the city for distributing obscene literature which was in reality a poem by Gary Snyder. He was arrested in Newark after the riot for "inciting a riot" which was in reality giving away free food, but to be sure the police also charged him for "passing out food without a license" and "refusing to obey an officer's command" who merely asked, "What are you, a boy or a girl?"
"I guess there is something about me that makes cops go crazy. I'm a coward. I'm not afraid to die, but I don't like violence. I don't carry flowers but you should choose your weapon," Fouratt explained one day after collecting a number of nights in jail in his biography.
"My only weapon is peace and love. We're in such a hostile society that sometimes love or peace, or that kind of approach seems dangerous to the people with guns, and they treat me as if I'm carrying the same weapon they are.
"I seem to bring out a confrontation. But my confrontation is more on a sexual level with the cops. Maybe their masculinity is threatened by my hair? I really thought about this a lot, wondering why my friend Abbe Hoffman, who's got as much hair and does just as many things as I do doesn't get arrested."
"I never tried to get arrested. I just do my thing and if it means getting arrested, then that happens when it happens.
"The beautiful thing about Newark was after I got arrested the only trouble I had was with the cops. I got into jail and the people were beautiful in jail, and they really turned on to the idea of the diggers and acid and the whole psychedelic thing.
"These were people who had been in there for 20 days and hadn't even been allowed to make their phone call. I got them phone calls so they could get out. There's a lot of work to be done in jails."
Every Sunday night there will be a digger benefit at the Scene, a night club at 301 W. 46th St. Jim Fouratt might be arrested even there.
"Yes, I'll have a stage arrest. That's how I'm beginning to feel."

Black People's Free Store
The new page in the Digger Archives that tells the story of the Black People's Free Store (Fillmore district, 1967-68) just went up. Included is the video clip below.

For the back story, check out the new page. But long story short, I'm trying to figure out who this is. I thought it might be brother to Roy Ballard. If anyone knows for sure, please let me know.
Frank Bardacke on the Burns/Novick Vietnam War film series
October 26, 2017 Eric	Leave a comment
The Ken Burns/Lynn Novick documentary film series on the Vietnam War (which aired in September on PBS) was a cathartic event for the Sixties Generation. Many of my friends could not watch the entire series—it was too emotional, too visceral, too heart-rending—even five decades later. There has been a lot of discussion of the film series. And much dissension about its historical perspective.
At a panel discussion last week on the 50th anniversary of the October 1967 "Stop The Draft Week" that shut down the Oakland Induction Center, I asked Frank Bardacke (one of the key organizers in the Anti-War Movement) what he thought of the film series. Here's his answer:
"Ken Burns is extremely good at what he does. He knows how to take a still photo and combine it with music, combine it with a narrative. He knows how to take individual people and make you identify with them. He's very good at it.
"There is a truth in that series and the truth is that war is hell for the participants. That series does a very good job at telling that truth. But that is only one truth about the war in Vietnam. And there's lots of other stuff … he had so many hours and so much time. There's a lot of other stuff that is terribly left out. And then also misrepresented.
"The biggest misrepresentation as far as I'm concerned is the presentation of the war in Vietnam as a civil war. My understanding of it is that it was a war of national liberation. It wasn't a civil war. The South Vietnamese were completely propped up by the United States. They could not have existed without the United States. It was a war of national liberation like in that period wars of national liberation throughout the world. And we opposed it.
"The second thing that was very upsetting to me about the series was that there are a lot of very good Left histories of the war in Vietnam. Every single expert that was interviewed was from the CIA, the Army, or the Pentagon. They did not have one single historian of the war talk about the war. It got so ridiculous that the person at the end who was the "objective" person talking about the dilemmas of the military is John Negroponte??!! John Negroponte, who is probably implicated in the death of Che Guevara … this is a bad man. And he is presented there as an objective commentator on the war.
"I don't know. It showed that war is hell. You know at the very beginning, there are two things from the very first one, it says 'in wars nobody wins, nobody loses' that's what the guy says. Well, that's not true. War is hell, it's terrible for the people who fight it. I totally agree with that. And he does a good job of saying that. But you know what? Some people win wars and some people lose them. Thank goodness the North won the the Civil War. Thank goodness the Allies won the Second World War. And as far as I'm concerned thank god the Vietnamese won the Vietnamese War. And they won it.
"And so I don't know, it's so well done and yet so misrepresents what happened. Except for the idea that the war was really, really hard on the people who fought it. Well, that's true of all wars. And it's good to say that. It's good to say that. But you don't have to say that in eighteen hours, time after time. Every single one that I saw began with the soldiers and ended with the soldiers. Every single one.
"So, anyway … I'm very glad you asked that question."
The panel discussion was sponsored by Shaping San Francisco and they have uploaded a video of the event.

Discovery #1 (in the Emmett Grogan Papers)
The Emmett Grogan Papers at the New York Public Library consists of around 200 sheets (letter/legal size and a few odd dimensions) comprising 50 items. Many of these are drafts of the articles/pieces that went into the Realist/Digger Papers publication which the Diggers distributed in June, 1968. The story that I have been told is that one of the Diggers was sent to New York to deliver the typewritten manuscript of these articles to Paul Krassner who ultimately published them as an issue of The Realist while also providing 40,000 Free copies to the Diggers (with a separate cover sheet but everything else the same).
The Digger Papers quickly joined the tidal wave of underground news media that inundated the American counterculture of the 1960s+ — however, among those who were attuned to the radical ideological & philosophical attainments of Digger literary output, the publication achieved a cult following. To this day, a copy of the (now "sunned" and "tanned") issue on newsprint brings big bucks in the rare book/ephemera dealer circles. For anyone not obsessed with holding actual history in hand but having access to the record of such manifestations, here is a link to a PDF copy of the Digger Papers.
One of the articles in the Digger Papers was "Dialectics of Liberation (A Speech)" which was important for articulating an approach to the deep social divisions that were becoming clear in 1967, suggesting that expanded consciousness grounded in loving autonomous communities creating alternative visions of future society was the answer beyond the paranoid style of politics and an impending ecological crisis. [Were that this message could be heard today!]
[Note: in my researches, this article is the first mention in both "above-ground" and "underground" media of the disaster-in-making of the trapped atmospheric carbon-dioxide leading to the greenhouse effect and subsequent melting of polar ice caps with sea level rise and massive coastal flooding. An important bellwether of the future half-century controversy.]
In the descriptive catalog for the Emmett Grogan Papers appears the following entry:
Dialects of Liberation: A Speech. Typed transcript of Emmett Grogan's speech delivered at the Dialectics of Liberation Conference in London, July 1967, containing significant autograph emendations by Emmett Grogan in preparation for publication in The Digger Papers, including the crossing through of entire paragraphs which were not printed in The Digger Papers. 13 pp.
I have always assumed that Allen Ginsberg was the author of "Dialectics of Liberation." He attended the conference by the same name in July, 1967 at London's Roundhouse. Ginsberg is seen on various videos of the proceedings using similar phrasing as appears in the "Dialectics of Liberation" article published in the Digger Papers. But I have never seen him explicitly credited. I feel certain that Ginsberg — not Grogan — is the author. So, the NYPL catalog needs to be corrected (beside which, the title is mis-transcribed).
However, even though Ginsberg was the author, what is so interesting is that Emmett obviously edited the version that appeared in the Digger Papers. See the page scan (below) which clearly shows edits in Emmett's handwriting.
One correction in particular is telling. Ginsberg wrote:
So I'm going to get on now to what I should have been on all along which is praxis — practical plans. | That has been classed generically as Flower Power, which is a euphuistic term, but I guess it's as pretty a term as there is and why not then, Flower Power. Though it's one that's easy to put down and goof off with, but it's a correct image — in the sense of correct in its origin and literal as to some of its techniques. and [sic] the original phrase seemed to rise up out of the streets — along with another phrase: "Make San Francisco an electric Tibet".
Here's how Grogan edited it:
I'm going to get on now to praxis — practical plans. Social action and plans have been cased in autonomy, it's a correct term — in the sense of correct in its power and literal as to some of the new activists' techniques. And the original style seemed to rise up out of the streets: "Standing on a street corner waiting for no one is power" — along with the phrase: "Make San Francisco an electric Tibet."
Hmm, here we see Grogan substituting one of his favorite terms — autonomy — for Ginsberg's discussion of "flower power." The sense of the term as representing a concept that "seemed to rise up out of the streets" is maintained in both versions. It's just that Ginsberg was talking about a generalized counterculture, and Grogan was substituting a tighter construction.
The whole article is full of such details.
Visiting the Emmett Grogan Papers
September 5, 2017 Eric	1 Comment
For a last minute whirlwind journey before fall semester in grad school began, I trekked via several modes of transportation (train, plane, automobile, and Greyhound bus) to New York City and back. The primary reason was to visit the newly-accessible collection of papers that Emmett Grogan left with his friend Harvey Kornspan in 1968 before taking off for new horizons, never to return and retrieve the odd stash of documents. Instead, Harvey sold the collection in 2014 to a London dealer of ephemera who in turn "placed" it with the Special Collections department at the New York Public Library. Located in the Stephen A. Schwarzman building (the main branch of NYPL) at 42nd street and Fifth Avenue, the Special Collections department is impressive and spans three floors in numerous divisions. Over a four-day period, I studied all the documents in the Emmett Grogan Papers and made several discoveries that will be of interest to historians and bibliographers of the Digger movement. I will make a report in the coming weeks/months in this blog space.
First, the only two photographs contained in the papers, these are of Emmett before he arrived in San Francisco. I thought it appropriate to share these first. Thanks to Max, Emmett's son and heir, for permission to publish these here.

In a signature ceremony held during the Central Asia and Turkey Hotel Investment Conference (CATHIC), the U.S.-based economy business hotels chain Super 8, a brand of the world's largest hotel group, Wyndham, marked its entry into the Turkish hospitality market.
The signature ceremony for the hotel chain's Turkish licensing rights was hosted by İlbak Holding and Wyndham Hotel Group at The Marmara Hotel on May 30, 2013, with both Mustafa İlbak, Chairman of the Board of İlbak Holding, and Eric Danziger, Chairman and CEO of Wyndham Hotels, in attendance. Jonathan Worsley of CATHIC and the guests from business and media sectors also attended, and the timing of the agreement was concurrent with Wyhndham Hotels' move to launch its Super 8 brand in other European countries.
Under an exclusive development agreement, İlbak Holding, already a leading investor in media, advertising, mining and construction sectors, will launch the new Super 8 economy hotels in Turkey.
"At the beginning of 2012, we took the first step in our relationship with Wyndham, an international giant in the tourism sector, and launched the Ramada Plaza Tekstilkent Hotel project," said Mustafa İlbak, chairman of İlbak Holding. "We are delighted to strengthen our existing relationship with Wyndham Hotel Group through this significant project and work together to introduce the Super 8 brand to Turkey. With the granting of the Turkish licensing rights of the US-based Super 8 economy business hotel chain, we firmly believe that we will be able to add new dimension to the urban hotel sector."
"I'm very happy to be able to collaborate once again with İlbak Holding," noted Eric Danziger, Wyndham Hotel Group president and chief executive officer. "This agreement launches our Super 8—the world's largest economy business hotel brand—in Turkey, concurrently with Europe, and it is extremely exciting as it truly enables us to offer a solution to each and every guest in the market, regardless of budget or travel purposes."
Wyndham Hotel Group owns 7,380 hotels and has over 631,800 rooms in 66 countries, and İlbak Holding aims to add 20 new Super 8 hotels in Turkey over the next 10 years. Combining quality and comfort, Super 8 provides 18 to 20 square meter rooms, offering hospitality that meets the needs of the business world.
The first Super 8 hotel is expected to open in Istanbul in 2014, followed by others in additional Turkish cities.

Here's a wonderful baby snack based on the traditional ginger biscuit but healthier, super quick and easy to make - raw ginger buttons. It is commonly agreed that using ginger in baked goods has it origins in Europe, although food history claims the British have been enjoying the ginger biscuit since the 1840s. Ginger biscuits - not to be confused with their moister and fluffier cousin, gingerbread - are drier, with a crunchier texture, and perfect for dunking into a nice hot cuppa (tea, as is tradition in Britain)!
I love this recipe because it is entirely raw, so you need zero baking skills to enjoy the wonderful flavour of the ginger and other spices. The recipe contains no wheat or flour of any kind, nor does it contain dairy, so it is perfect for vegans and those who can't eat gluten. And did I mention it is completely free from refined sugar? Packed with nuts and sweetened with dates, this protein and fibre rich baby snack is entirely guilt-free and one you'll be encouraging your little one to eat at every opportunity!
Yields approximately 20 small buttons.
Whizz the nuts in a food processor until roughly chopped.
Add the dates and spices, and whizz for a few more minutes until the ingredients form a uniform paste. You may need to scrape down the sides of the processing bowl to ensure everything is well mixed.
Take a tablespoonful of mixture into your hands, and roll it into a ball.
Then squash it gently to form a button shape.
Stack your buttons for easy storage, and see how long they last in a house full of little people (or big people...)!


The ARP-87 is a compact, feature-rich delay, packed with a large pallet of inspirational delay tones. Featuring four main algorithms, digital, analog, lo-fi, and slap back, the ARP-87 can cover some serious ground in the world of echoes. The Digital algorithm boasts pristine, crystal clear repeats great for rhythmic riffs. The Analog setting works well to add warmth and dimension to chords and lines without getting in the way. The Lo-Fi algorithm, with its adjustable frequency range on the repeats, goes from warm, warped, and murky, to strait AM radio. Finally, the Slap setting makes it easy to dial in a great slap back echo perfect for smoking chicken pickin' runs. With other features like our smart bypass switching, and momentary knob ramp, the ARP-87 provides endless creative opportunities that are waiting to be explored.
Note that when changing delay types this loads a whole new algorithm and the tempo must be tapped in again. Max delay time is 1000ms.

I needed some time management and paper sorting help. Specifically, I have had a hard time keeping my life organized and needed some professional help.
Alyssa was fantastic! During her initial consultation she provided me with a plan of action for both organizing my home office (throwing away stuff) and gave me some time management tips. After a 3 hour work session we put a huge dent into my file cabinet and desk surface. I have already scheduled my second session and can't wait to see the results!


So you've decided to add a four-legged critter to your family. That's actually pretty awesome and a really good thing to do. That's because pets are wonderful companions and can also bring much to your household that did not exist prior to having a dog, cat, guinea pig or any other animal. However, the way in which you search for this new member of your family is vitally important. It is always best to adopt a new pet instead of just buying one from a breeder or pet store. You may not realize that you are indirectly supporting illegal breeding activity if you do not seek a dog from an animal shelter.
Let's take a look at some of the reasons why you should seriously consider adoption.
It's true. In the United States alone, there are over 3-million dogs euthanized on an annual basis in animal shelters. That is simply because they were not adopted by families seeking a four-legged companion. Puppy mills, which are cruel and inhumane, would eventually go out of business if everyone turned to shelters to adopt their pets. Plus, pet stores would be forced to stock adoptable puppies as a result which would save even more of them.
As it turns out, the majority of the dogs that populate animal shelters are of mixed breeds. They account for upwards of 70-percent of these animals. What you may not be aware of is that a mixed breed dog has a better likelihood of living longer simply because there is no inbreeding as is common with some 'purebred' pooches. A dog of mixed breed will also have better odds in not having genetic health problems passed down to him or her.
In the United States there is an estimated 10,000 puppy mills in operation. The puppies you are looking at possibly purchasing at your local pet store are very likely the product of a puppy mill. Commercial dog breeding operations that put profit above the health and well-being of the puppies it produces are considered puppy mills. The quick reproductive cycle in place in such a facility does not weed out hereditary health conditions.
When you purchase a purebred dog you will spend anywhere from $1,000 to several thousand dollars. Where adopting a dog from an animal shelter will cost you between $50 and two-hundred dollars. Typically, the fee for adoption goes towards covering the first few vet visits, vaccinations, spaying or neutering with a small amount retained by the shelter for operational expenses.
The main advantage to adopting a dog that is one, two or more years old is that you don't have to go through the process of housetraining as you would with a puppy. Plus, puppies have other needs that can include more attention than you may be able to provide as they teeth, learn the household routine and generally grow up within your family unit. Adult dogs will bond as well as a puppy and will adapt to your circumstances much quicker than a puppy.
We mentioned that most of the dogs at a shelter are mixed breed a moment ago. Well, one of the cool things about that is you can find all kinds of dogs there. They range in size, shape and physical features. The mixture can be quite beneficial depending on the type of dog you are looking for. Regardless, if unique is your goal, an animal shelter will be your best source of this type of dog.
There are times when you and your furry friend may have to part company forever. Health concerns, an allergy or a number of different reasons that result in you having to give up your best friend can develop in your life. As difficult as it will be to have to let your pooch go, an animal shelter is your best option in having to find your dog a new home. If that shelter happens to have no additional room, they will be able to provide you with suggestions on how to relocate your dog. They may even have a waiting list on site of interested residents looking for a pet just like yours.
We all want to feel good about a decision we made. Adopting a dog from a shelter, which will save its life, is a good deed. Not only will it make you feel good about doing something special for this little pup, you will gain a new friend who will love you unconditionally for just being there for him or her. Being a dog owner is a big responsibility, but rescuing a dog from certain death is the best gift you can give any four-legged critter. Even if you are not doing it for accolades, your act of kindness is a wonderful thing regardless. The dog you rescue will truly reward you for many years to come.
Not sure how to approach adopting a dog? All you have to do is call your local animal shelter and schedule a visit. You may even wish to become a shelter volunteer to assist with finding homes for the countless dogs that end up in the care of a shelter. Once on the inside, you will learn how these special organizations work to keep puppy mills out of business and how easy it is to start the adoption process. You may discover something about yourself you did not know existed when you open your heart to helping animals who cannot speak for themselves. To find your local animal shelter, just enter "animal shelters near me" in your Google search window.

Bettman on hand to wish Vegas 'good luck' as ticket drive begins
By Mike HalfordFeb 10, 2015, 6:20 PM EST
The Las Vegas expansion group kicked off its season ticket campaign Tuesday, and had a fairly significant backer in attendance: NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
"Here I am to watch Bill and his colleagues begin this season ticket drive and see whether or not Las Vegas' interest matches Bill Foley's interest," Bettman said, per Fox 5 Vegas. "While I have nothing new to add to what I've said and repeated countless times since we gave Bill permission last year — I have no promises to make today — I do wish Bill and the people of Nevada good luck in this endeavor."
Today's ticket drive began at 1:30 p.m. PT, and prospective buyers were asked to visit http://www.vegaswantshockey.com to make deposits of $150 to $900, depending on the seats.
Foley and his partners — the Maloof brothers — are all about one thing right now.
"[Bettman] said 'sell tickets,'" Foley recalled. "He said 'don't talk about anything except selling your tickets.'"
To do just that, Foley has enlisted a core group of 75 or so local Las Vegas business leaders, each charged with selling 60 ticket deposits. Four of the 75 have already reached their quota.
Foley's big guns — Gavin and Joe Maloof, owners of the Sacramento Kings from 1998-2013 — are in charge of the 75.
"The Maloofs are my hammer," Foley quipped.
The coming days promise to be interesting with regards to ticket sale numbers out of Las Vegas, and if they come close to the 10,000 mark needed. And while Bettman said not to read too much into his presence at Tuesday's presser, he did note the league would be watching with great intrigue.
"We will certainly be interested to see the result," he said.

Huawei Ships 1 Million Smartphones With Its Hongmeng OS : smartphone
Even in the midst of so many companies like Google, Facebook, etc. cutting ties with Huawei, the company remains unshaken as it has managed to ship 1 million smartphones with its own operating system called HongMeng. According to reports, the company has actually shipped 1 million devices with HongMeng OS for testing, without clear information on whether the smartphones are available in the market or still on the development stage.
A top Chinese institutional brokerage company Rosenblatt Securities tipped that the new HongMeng OS is compatible with all Android applications and comes with an "increased security functions to protect personal data". On when the new HongMeng OS will available, the CEO of Huawei's consumer business group, Yu Chengdong assured the customers that the new operating system will be made available to the public by as early as this fall or next spring. The new HongMeng will be compatible with all smartphones, tablets, computers, cars, televisions, and smart wearable devices.
As if Huawei foresaw its current trade war with the US, the company started the development of its own operating system as far back as 2012 in case of any ban in the future. The company, according to a report from South China Morning Post, was concerned over Android's dominance which prompted the development of its in-house OS.
Huawei Central reports that the new "HongMeng" trademark is currently being acquired at multiple markets, like Canada, Europe, South Korea, and Mexico.

Eckersley can't escape Price feud: 'He's my new Kirk Gibson'
Dustin Saracini
Sean M. Haffey / Getty Images Sport / Getty
Speaking publicly for the first time since Boston Red Sox southpaw David Price tore into him Wednesday, Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley said he hasn't been able to escape questions surrounding the seemingly never-ending feud between the two.
"He's my new Kirk Gibson," he told Dan Shaughnessy of The Boston Globe on Saturday. "Everywhere I go, people are asking me about David Price, telling me what he said about me. For years, I carried the Gibson thing around. Everybody was dropping a Gibson on me. Now I got this. I don't get it."
Eckersley famously served up a walk-off home run to Gibson in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series and has been linked to the moment since.
The discord between Price and Eckersley began in 2017 when the pair got into a disagreement on one of the team's charter flights over a comment the latter made during a broadcast.
Eckersley is in Cooperstown, N.Y., this weekend for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. He's expected to return to the broadcast booth next week in St. Petersburg, Fla., when the Red Sox face the Tampa Bay Rays in a three-game set.

est le sixième album studio du groupe écossais de rock alternatif Biffy Clyro, publié le  au Royaume-Uni et en France par 14th Floor Records. C'est un double album de vingt chansons dont les parties se nomment  et .

Historique

Contexte

Biffy Clyro, groupe écossais de rock alternatif formé en 1995, connaît le succès avec son quatrième album studio Puzzle, paru en 2007 et certifié disque de platine. Le trio commence alors à tourner avec des groupes tels que Muse, Linkin Park ou Queens of the Stone Age avant de publier  en 2009, confirmant la réussite de son prédécesseur. Après de nouvelles premières parties pour Muse, ils jouent en 2010 dans le nouveau Wembley, donnant lieu par la suite à leur premier album live , sorti en 2011 et qui se classe  des charts britanniques.

Alors que le groupe a déjà commencé à travailler sur son futur album au printemps 2010, il continue de jouer des concerts et de participer à des festivals en 2011 (Rock en Seine et Sonisphere Festival entre autres), retardant leur entrée en studio. À la fin de l'année, le trio déclare au NME qu'ils ont déjà écrit vingt-deux pistes pour leur futur album, dont  et , qu'ils ont déjà jouées lors de concerts.

Enregistrement et production

Le groupe se rend en  au  à Santa Monica, près de Los Angeles, afin de préparer l'enregistrement avec le producteur Garth Richardson, qui les avait déjà accompagné sur les deux précédents opus. Ils commencent les prises le mois suivant et installent une webcam qui diffuse en direct sur leur site les sessions effectuées dans ce même studio pendant cinq mois. Le chef d'orchestre David Campbell et le claviériste de session Jamie Muhoberac sont de nouveau conviés à participer à celui-ci après avoir joués sur .

Alors qu'il était prévu que deux albums paraissent, Biffy Clyro décide finalement de n'en faire plus qu'un sous la forme d'un double album dont les parties sont intitulées  et . Lors de leur passage le  dans l'émission de Zane Lowe à la BBC Radio 1, le groupe joue en avant-première la chanson , du futur sixième album, et annonce en même temps le titre de celui-ci. Le lendemain, le clip vidéo du morceau est mis en ligne sur le site officiel.

Le , le groupe publie la liste des chansons, les dates de mise en vente et les formats disponibles du futur album.

Parution et réception

Sortie et promotion

Caractéristiques artistiques

Analyse

Lors de leur passage à la BBC Radio 1 le , Simon Neil qualifie l'album de , car écrit d'une manière différente des autres et comportant également quelques chansons instrumentales. Il le décrit comme une succession de prises de décisions face à un dilemme et ajoute que l'un des disques évoque les bonnes décisions, l'autre, les mauvaises. Il explique d'ailleurs que . James Johnston complète en disant que . Dans une interview au NME, ils définissent respectivement les deux disques de  et d'.

Biffy Clyro estime que cette opposition provient de leurs longues tournées pour  et parle même d'isolement, de résignation et de tensions à propos de leurs relations avec leurs famille et amis. Ils ont d'ailleurs composé les chansons en Écosse pendant une période où ils étaient . Ils avouent au passage qu'ils étaient au bord de la rupture. La situation du groupe devient si précaire que la veille du premier enregistrement en studio, Ben Johnston se coupe accidentellement l'oreille alors qu'il est ivre. Cet épisode le mène à reconnaître qu'il a un problème avec l'alcool. Le groupe s'isole alors dans le studio de Los Angeles pendant les quelques mois de l'enregistrement, afin qu'ils se retrouvent tous ensemble. Ils déclarent que cela leur a permis . Cette épreuve a donc déteint sur leur façon d'interpréter les morceaux de l'album lors des sessions en studio.

Le groupe explique l'approche musicale pour  a été différente, ce qui explique la grande diversité du styles musicaux obtenus et les nombreux instruments utilisés. Ils disent même . Simon Neil ajoute qu'ils ont essayé tout ce qui leur passait par la tête et cela se traduit par une large gamme de sons tels que la cornemuse, les kazoos, le groupe de mariachi, les claquettes, l'orgue d'église, les cloches tubulaires et le . Néanmoins, tout ce qu'ils ont tenté ne figurent pas sur l'album.

Il est à noter que les chansons  et  datent d'avant  mais n'avaient pas été publiées. Elles sont donc incluses sur .

Pochette

De la même manière que pour , la pochette de l'opus est révélée petit à petit. Ainsi, l'image apparaît progressivement avec le nombre de messages Twitter comportant l'inscription #BiffyOpposites. En moins de , plus de  sont postés afin de la découvrir intégralement. Celle-ci est réalisée par Storm Thorgerson, photographe britannique reconnu pour avoir travaillé avec des groupes tels que Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd ou encore Genesis et qui avait déjà collaboré avec Biffy Clyro sur Puzzle et . Simon Neil explique que l'image représente l'un des plus vieux arbres vivants au monde se situant au Chili et qu'il s'imagine que les racines de celui-ci sont très fortes, faisant la comparaison avec les liens entre les membres de Biffy Clyro.

The Nigeria police have returned the embattled Senator Dino Melaye to the National Hospital Abuja as directed by the Kogi High Court sitting in Lokoja on Friday, May 4.
Melaye was reportedly moved back to the Hospital on Friday shortly after the ruling.
The senator is reportedly being treated for spinal cord injury which he allegedly suffered when he jumped out of a moving police van while attempting to evade arrest.
A Senior Magistrate Court in Lokoja had denied Melaye bail and ordered he be remanded in police custody.
But the State Chief Judge, Justice Nasir Ajanah gave an interim order in his ruling on two motions filed by the prosecution and the defendant challenging the May 3 Magistrate court's ruling.
The prosecution, led by Theophilus Oteme Esq, the officer in charge of legal unit, Kogi police command, in its motion sought that the lower court ruling be varied and the defendant be remanded in prison custody as originally sought.
The other motion filed by defence, led by ChiefMike Ozekhome (SAN), applied for the granting of bail to the Senator and as well urged the court to order that he (Melaye) be remanded at the National Hospital, Abuja in view his health challenges.
Arguing the motion Ozekhome prayed the court, to in the interest of justice, abridge the time both motions would be taken because of the critical health condition of the defendant applicant.
"He was taken to the lower court yesterday on a stretcher and as we speak, he is still on the stretcher,"he said.
Ozekhome said that the life of the applicant is in danger since the police in the state has no medical facility to take care of him while in their custody.
The Chief Judge, in his ruling on the applications, said that while both parties were on the same page in their call for variation their destinations on the issue of bail were different.
Ajanah said he was inclined to grant the prayers of the two parties in which they sought variation of the court order on the custody of the senator.
He, however, conceded that it was only a fit person that could stand trial, saying, "infact, that is why it is called, Standing Trial.
"In the circumstance therefore, I hereby vary the order of the remand of the third defendant as made by the lead counsel.
"I hereby order that the third defendant be kept at the National Hospital, Abuja under the custody and close watch and supervision of the complainant, the Inspector General of Police.
"The application for the bail in this case will be heard on Monday, the 7th of May, 2018", Ajanah declared.
Last Thursday, Melaye was remanded into police custody until June 11, by Mr Sulyman Abdullah of the Lokoja Senior Magistrate Court.
The senator was arraigned along with Kabiru Seidu, aka Osama, and Nuhu Salihu, aka Small.
They were charged with criminal conspiracy, illegal possession of firearms and illegal gun dealing contrary to various sections of the appropriate laws.


Travel to the edge of adventure, but inside your comfort zone, secure in the knowledge that our wilderness guides have all the training and experience necessary to make your Ecosummer adventure not only memorable, but safe and secure as well.
There's an entire alphabet of wilderness guide training designations – ACSKG sea kayaking leadership, ACMG backpacking/day hiking certification, and advance wilderness CPR. We never leave camp without a well-outfitted first-aid kit and the knowledge to use it – If you encounter trouble along the way, you can rest easy knowing our guides are certified in a whole alphabet of wilderness and first-aid training – from A to Z.
With any Ecosummer expedition, providing a memorable experience will never come at the expense of your safety. Whether you're hiking the West Coast Trail, exploring ancient rainforests and wild running rivers on the West Coast & Wilderness tour, or kayaking with whales at Orca Camp, your adventure only begins after a pre-trip orientation and all of your safety questions have been answered.
The very nature of the West Coast Trail means there's an element of risk involved in the expedition. Your journey begins with a mandatory pre-trip orientation conducted by Parks Canada and once again by our guides before taking to the trail.
The same holds true on the West Coast & Wilderness tour – our guides and their local counterparts provide a safety briefing before embarking on hikes, snorkeling trips or ocean kayaking, making sure that you're comfortable with with what you're about to experience.
On any tour involving water-based activities we like to help you hone your technique before putting into the water, so that that should any emergency occur you have the skills needed to quickly respond.
Perfect your paddling technique with group and one-on-one instruction and in-kayak coaching from Orca Camp guides before ever heading out on the water. Day one starts with the basics, (like which end of the paddle is up) and then moves on to more serious subjects like quick wet-skirt release and exiting the kayak and ways to conserve energy for long days on the water.
Whether hiking the West Coast Trail, kayaking with orcas in the Johnstone Strait or venturing off the beaten path and into old-growth rainforests and wild-running rivers, our goal is to show you a wild time with minimal impact on both the wildlife and the environment.
Our guides take extra care to ensure your safety and the wellbeing of the wildlife you may encounter by restricting group size to fewer than 10 and maintaining a flexible itinerary allowing for changes in weather and wildlife migration. As expedition leaders, our guides have the first and last word on where, when and how you experience our wilderness tours.
Wildlife encounters of the natural kind are as much about watching as knowing an animal's habits. Our guides are well-practiced observers of animals in their own habitat and are delighted to share their expertise with you, enhancing your wildlife viewing opportunities.
These same principles hold true when it comes to the animals – we observe whales and other wildlife from a safe viewing distance, respecting international law that prohibits approaching marine mammals within 100 metres. That's not to say the whales don't sometimes approach us inside of that limit, and if that happens we encourage you to simply sit back and enjoy the show!


Kenyon Fraser is 25 years young this summer – so how has the world of PR changed during this time? A quarter of a century ago, when some of our 'more experienced' staff members worked on newsdesks, press releases were mailed or faxed to newspapers – and mostly went into the bin.
Things have changed dramatically, as newsrooms have shrunk, pressure to fill pages has risen, and journalists have accepted that there may be mutual benefits in working with PR people.
And the swing to acceptance has been dramatic, with one study claiming that 80% of news in quality papers is 'not original' ie based on PR material. Whether the proportion is that high is a moot point, but it is now commonplace for press releases to be used as news stories – a few edits here and there and it's 'good to go'. Press releases become the news, rather than a starting point to point journalists towards news… Something to be remembered when writing the next press release.
Crafting stories; finding fresh angles and ways to communicate the key messages effectively, remain aims that the PR team strives to hit as much as possible. In this digital age, there is a variety of methods that can be employed to get coverage out into the world.
But here's another big shift: 25 years ago, clients almost literally used to 'weigh the cuttings' – being happy to see large amounts of coverage for its own sake. Now, it's not about measuring headlines and column inches but about influence; getting messages across in the appropriate way to the best audiences. This increasingly means using digital channels, as well as analysing and weighting coverage according to message content and positioning.
Newspapers – regional and local – can now be found online (mostly), and can provide a great resource where people can easily access emerging and trending news. More than half of the world's adult population read a newspaper, proving it to be a traditional method that is still effective.
However the way that people access their news is constantly evolving and 40% of the world's digital audience read a newspaper online. Consuming news through websites or apps is now thought to be as popular as reading newspapers, with 41% of people saying that they will use apps and websites to access news. The percentages of those using mobile to get their news climbs high amongst those aged 16-24 compared with those aged 55 and over (ranked at 40 % versus 4% in 2014)*.
Whichever method is used by PR teams – blogs, newsletters, newspapers, radio interviews – when the strategy is planned according to the client's needs and the target audience is evaluated, the results should be compelling.

Diamond 2 Scalzo
We are the leading wholesale jewelry distribution in Quebec, Canada. Our specialty is Italian Watches and Jewelry.
About Diamond2
Diamond 2 Scalzo Brothers Inc. (D2S) was founded in 2002 by Carlo Scalzo. In 1988, at the age of 20, he was introduced to the jewellery industry and started his career working as a salesman for a local distributor in Italy. Very early on, it became clear that he had great passion and talent for the business. This led him to open his own retail store in Italy in 1991.
Over the years, he made many visits to Canada and saw great potential for growth in the Canadian market for fine Italian jewellery. In 2002, he seized the opportunity and started a new venture in wholesale distribution in Canada. Being the exclusive Canadian distributor for several Italian brands is a testament to his knowledge, experience and expertise.
Carlo Scalzo is the president and CEO of Diamond 2 Scalzo Bros.
About Carlo Scalzo
Carlo Scalzo, founder of Caprices, is undeniably a force to be reckoned with in the industry. With his great passion for his customers, knowledge of his products and awareness of the market, he is able to offer a truly exceptional level of expertise to both his business and his clients.
Of course, every powerhouse must be built brick-by-brick. Scalzo's foundations lie within his homeland of Italy, with his path to success beginning at the age of 20 in 1988. At the time, Scalzo was working as a young sales rep for a local Italian distributor.
"It fascinated me, this business," recalls Scalzo. "When I walked into those jewellery stores, I was instantly struck with the glamour of the industry and the passion displayed by the owners. That was something that resonated deeply with me."
Caprices Boutique
Taken from the Italian word Capriccio, Caprices stays true to its name. Carlo Scalzo, Caprices founder, is proudly featuring products that he is passionate about and that customers were waiting for.

It's official: I'm a published author. The Fall 2003 issue of On Spec magazine includes my story "Under a Full Moon." For more information on how this came to be, read the article Losing My Amateur Status.
It remains to be seen whether this issue will ever make the newsstands; at first it seemed like the distributors had missed Fall altogether, but today I visited my local Chapter's and was stunned to find them carrying a half-dozen copies of On Spec! The only problem: it was the SUMMER 2003 issue.
The good news is that the Fall 2003 issue might be available at a bookstore near you sometime in early 2004. The bad news is that if you want a copy right now, you'll have to go to the On Spec web site and order it from there.

This UWO English professor can rock, too
Shane Nyman
There's an episode of the TV show "Freaks and Geeks" where a group of high school slackers sneak into a bar to catch a buzzed-about local band. What they find after they score their fake IDs and settle in at a table near the stage is the man belting out Alice Cooper's "Eighteen" – the frontman for this band they've been psyched to see – is their school guidance counselor.
A version of this very scene could play out for a student or two studying English at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. If it never came up in conversation, one might not know the man fronting, say, Intro to Creative Writing or Modern American Literature, also has fronted rock bands with Pitchfork cred and a late-night TV gig.
And now Stephen McCabe, a 42-year-old English professor in Oshkosh, has revived a once-promising music career with a wonderful new solo album and an elaborate performance planned for Saturday night in Appleton.
McCabe, formerly of the bands Cookie Bug, Congratulations on Your Decision to Become a Pilot and the Willis (whose run included a positive Pitchfork review and a performance on a "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" test show in 2009), will soon drop a 10-song LP titled "Inside Voices" under his solo moniker Redshift Headlights.
"Inside Voices" will come to life in grand fashion with the help of a 20-member ensemble Saturday at Rock Garden Studios in Appleton, where the album was recorded over the winter with Marc Golde.
Among those enlisted to fill out the Redshift Headlights sound for the Appleton show are Timm Buechler, Kurt Stein, Jay Spanbauer, Jeff Mitchell, Eric Van Thiel and Andrew Johnson of Haunted Heads, Stephanie Tschech and Nate Lehner of Auralai and a handful of others.
"I've been kind of chipping away at these songs since our son was born about five years ago," McCabe said. "I ended up having 30 songs and I cut all the best parts of those 30 songs and rearranged them into these 10 songs."
It makes sense, then, that the architect of this collection of songs also teaches 300-level creative writing courses. Each number started as a piece of flash fiction and features a different narrator, each telling their own American story. Each song even comes with a name, age and date, ranging from 1943 to 2012.
Each story, too, is told through McCabe's voice, which bears a lot of resemblance to that of Will Sheff from Okkervil River. On the record, McCabe also played guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and vibraphone. (He enlisted help only on strings and horns.) The result is an indie rock album with touches of power pop, reminiscent of works by Okkervil River (naturally), the Hold Steady or the Airborne Toxic Event.
Though finished, "Inside Voices" remains without a release date. McCabe said he's still shopping it to independent record labels. If all else fails, he'll put it out on his own. He's aiming for autumn.
As for future shows, Redshift Headlights is booked for July 30 at the Fox River House in downtown Appleton with RedHawks and Haunted Heads. McCabe plans to play that one solo. He's also kicking around ideas of playing other shows with different combinations of supporting musicians.
That should leave plenty of opportunities for curious students of his to potentially show up at a rock show to find that – gasp! – Mr. McCabe can put together one heck of a song.
