Our diligent servants at the Department of Homeland Security number somewhere around 200,000. That was at last count, anyway. And as businessinsider.com reports, they've just placed an order for 450 million rounds of fo-tay cal Federal Premium ammo over the next five years from ATK. They've also got an RFB out for another 175 million rounds of .223 because they own a couple of rifles, too. Figure that at least a third – and that's probably way conservative – of those people our tax dollars are supporting are IT geeks, clerical types, maintenance staff, administrators or some other breed of gibbering desk monkey who wouldn't know a gun if you pointed one at them. That leaves . . .
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 132,000 people who might some day, for some reason, somehow conceivably have cause to actually hold a handgun. At most. Which translates to about 3,400 rounds of ammo each or 680 rounds per year. And that's just for pistols. So what gives? Why is DHS stockpiling all that lead?
69 Responses to Question of the Day: What Does DHS Want with All that Ammo?
Maybe they're trying to drive prices of ammo up for people who aren't government employees? Or they're expecting something nasty to happen in the near future and want to be prepared. Who knows?
All I know is that I don't like the looks of it. At all.
Why is DHS stockpiling all that lead?
So they'll have some lead when the EPA bans it? To get a volume discount? Because some dope hit the wrong keys on a computer and typed 450 million instead of 450 boxes? Because DHS has more money than it knows what to do with? Or are they planning to arm a Mexican cartel because they took Los Zetas minus three in the ATF-DHS pool?
Probably anticipating the quadrennial ammo shortage we all fall for every election year.
Thats 50 rounds per estimated armed agent per month. I am not obligated to train and I shoot more than that in a month.
I shoot more than that in a week………..
Glad to know that my tax dollars are being spent to keep me from getting ammo.
reload man……reload …beat them at their own game….
According to the article I read the 450 million rounds is ALL hollow point. Very few people do all their training with hollow points 🙂
That is one H*ll of a lot of killing power.
Very few people buy their training ammo with other people's money.
"ATK was the incumbent and won the contract with its HST bullet, which has proven itself in the field. The special hollow point effectively passes through a variety of barriers and holds its jacket in the toughest conditions. HST is engineered for 100-percent weight retention, limits collateral damage, and avoids over-penetration."
450 Million rounds of HOLLOW POINT. That is a H*ll of a lot of killing power.
As much as I'd like to claim there is some grand conspiracy here, I'm afraid I have to agree with Brian above that this could be within the realm of minimal training quantities. A group of huge agencies going through the procurement process for multiple years will necessarily appear to be ordering an outlandish quantity.
Odd that the open bid for rifle ammunition is for .223 and not 5.56 NATO.
I too would assume this is for training purposes. I would prefer everyone in a uniform who carried a weapon to be proficient in its usage.
My grandfather was a US Customs officer for 30yrs, back when they were part of the Treasury Department. He carried a .357 revolver. I'm know he put more than 50 down range a month, and they were all on his own dime. Fortunately he never had to use his weapon in the line of duty, but I do not doubt that he was willing and able to employ it effectively if necessary. Hell he's 87, and I still wouldn't pick a fight with him…
Golly, that's a whole box of ammo each month. Pfft.
DHS has conceived of a "BulletWalker" program to supply the Mexican drug cartels.
Not really an issue to me. It is dumping current dollars into future expenses. Like buying pallets of paper when you use a single ream a week.
Brian and Mike in NC,
This is law enforcement DUTY ammo, not practice ammo. I doubt they go to the range and train with duty ammo except to, once in a while, cycle through some old duty ammo before it could go bad which, by the way, it takes a long time for ammo to go bad. I am guessing that most DHS operators carry something like a Sig P226/229 which means they probably carry about 37 rounds on duty. That's three 12 round mags plus one in the pipe. That would give each operator approximately 21 duty carries of DUTY ammo a year (that's a lot of LE DGU's) per operator in addition to the practice non-hollow point FMJ they likely practice with.
Eventually some duty ammo will be used for training. You shoot it every 18 to 24 months depending on the agency you work for. Duty ammo is usually swapped out every once and a while due to weather, lubricant (poor cleaning practices by officers), and other issues. They don't throw it away, they shoot it.
80,000,000+ gun owners should stock up with their favorite flavors. Tit for tat. One box of 50 for each gun owner is 4 Billion rounds. If 10% of gun owners bought a thousand rounds/year, that would be at least 8 Billion rounds.
Please allow me to adjust my tin foil hat for a moment…… Ahhh, there, much better now. Where was I? Oh, yes. So, if there is to be a disparity in force, that disparity should (must) fall in our favor.
Do your part to make sure that we always have the upper hand if push comes to shove and everything goes non-linear. Not only does it send a message to those who might be persuaded to try out their tyrannical ideas, it's fun to drive the anti's bat shit crazy. Picture the headline in the New York Times; "American's Right-Wing Militias Bought Over 50 Billion Bullets in 2012", or something like that. It's a pretty small price to pay to maintain our system of checks and balances. Do your part to boost the economy!!
Why did DHS buy so much ammo?
Because they plan to move in on Ruby Ridge 2.0 and realize that last time they just didn't have enough ammo.
Because through their incredible intelligence sources they found out that the FBI ordered 350 million and they refuse to be one-up'd.
Because it turns out ATK's principal shareholders are really big Obama contributors, and Ploufe decided bullet makers are a better bet than solar.
Ruby Ridge 2.0 will be taken care of with Hell Fires from Predator drones. No fuss, no muss.
"Because it turns out ATK's principal shareholders are really big Obama contributors, and Ploufe decided bullet makers are a better bet than solar."
RD, You may have just hit the nail on the head! ;>) Very little surprises me these days. OH the irony.
United States Border Patrol Agents, Customs Officers, Air and Marine Agents, HSI Special Agents, ICE DROs, ICE IEAs, Secret Service Agents, The Coast Guard, Federal Protective Service, and various internal affairs agencies for all of the above. That's just off the top of my head. I know for a fact that all of them use .223 or 5.56, and all of the above use .40 cal except the Air Marshals (.357 SIG), Coast Guard and Secret Service (those two may also use .40, I just don't know for sure). You've got to figure a minimum of quarterly qualifications, 100-200 rounds per qual for pistol. Then you have those who use submachine guns, typically UMP .40s. Then there are specialty units or additional pistol courses. It adds up.
The question is do they really use all that DUTY ammo for training? Wouldn't they use non-hollow point FMJ which tends to be less costly for training/qualification?
680 rounds per person, per year is 50 rounds for monthly shooting qualification with 80 rounds per year for remediation purposes. Many agencies train with their duty JHP ammo to prevent issues with points of impact when switching ammo.
Police and Feds could shoot more cheaply, but again, these are government agencies. Saving money, for them, can be considered borderline unconstitutional.
Beware the cop with one gun. He's probably not a gun guy, and only shoots when he has to qualify…
Don't worry – if they ordered none, people would say they should train more. Order too much and they want to kill every American/give it away to mexico/some other reason other than they might have a decent training schedule
Carpe Civitatibus Tribuebat!
Must be nice to get to go to the range at taxpayer expense!
Actually 680 rounds per year doesn't seem like much…a little over a box a month…jus saying.
Come on, Don, you should know better. This contract allows DHS to purchase UP TO that amount of ammunition over the course of the next five years. It's a devise to assure that the government's needs are met before the manufacturer meets the demands of others. And I would certainly hope that our agents authorized for weapons use are shooting at least 1000 rounds a year to maintain proficiency. As it is, most police departments complain that they do not have sufficient funds for firearms training and practice. There isn't going to be some giant stockpile of that many rounds sitting around gathering dust, or, as the tin hats would like to believe, that armaggedon is upon us and the government has some big plans to put down a national domestic disturbance.
You didn't hear, they're gonna be on doomsday preppers
" . . . Which translates to about 3,400 rounds of ammo each . . . "
Which, if DHS continues its past record of achievement and proficiency, works out to about 3.9 successful shots on target per agent.
680 annual rounds averages 56 rounds per month. Just about a box of ammo.
Exactly. TTAG has readers stockpiling more than that on a per shooter basis.
Plus, don't think those desk jockeys ain't armed. DHS is pushing to get as many PMs, accountants, etc 'ordained' as possible. Hopefully that makes you feel a bit safer next time you board a 737.
"680 rounds per year"
I shoot ~200 9mm every time I go to the range. I shoot my rifle every chance I get, spending about 100 rounds every trip. Thats about 300 rounds combined. I go to the range at least once a month. Thats 3600 on average, per year. 680 is ~18.88% of what I shoot. This contract as stated in the beginning is "over the next five years" personally I dont find that to be a huge amount of ammo per person per year for an institution of that size. I'm one man and I shoot on average in one year, what they shoot in 5 years. I'm repeating myself.
OR, when we get sick of this bloated buracracy and lay off half of them, the government will be selling a lot of surplus ammo cheap to those who shoot 40 cal.
I normally agree with alot of what is written here, but I do take exception to the following :
"of those people our tax dollars are supporting are IT geeks, clerical types, maintenance staff, administrators or some other breed of gibbering desk monkey"
Being skeptical of law enforcement is one thing, it is another to completely denigrate a civil servant. Also try and bear in mind that while many actual "Agents" can carry whereever they please, the "desk monkeys" are barred from carrying in their workplace (federal buildings), regardless of their proficiency level with a firearm.
Bureaucrats are as much citizens as you and I, regardless of who is funding their paycheck.
How dare you bring logic, empathy, and maturity into the comments section of TTAG? Just let us finish our anti-gov't snarkfest…
No, everything above reflects logic, realism and maturity. Where do you get off with your snarkfest?
Ill denigrate a civil servant and government worker all i want. i have little respect for a man/woman that is paid a wage pryed from me by extortion…i mean taxes.
You have little respect for any man/woman funded by what you view as extortion (being taxes)?So you don't respect anyone repairing your highway system, educating your children, nor soldiers and policemen? Simply because they are paid by taxes you don't want to pay? If your local supermarket charges too much in your estimation for milk, do you also consider this extortion, and correspondingly disrespect the cashier on your way out the door?
One can be a supporter of freedom and the 2nd Amendment without also being completely rude and condescending of others. I urge you to consider this path.
If the local supermarket charged me too much, I would go to walmart. Unfortunately, the government has no such competition, therefore whether it goes to "good use," whatever that means, or not, it was extorted from us.
That is the general problem with Government. I think Washington had a speech about it being a Force and a Fire, not eloquence.
It is extortion. The government is the only organization which can take your money at the point of a gun legally if it goes that far. Ever heard of armed IRS agents? You sound like a typical civil servant who mostly are oblivious the real world outside their cloistered, overly benefited, cushy jobs. One example you mentioned is paying taxes to have someone teach my children. That is one thing I surely don't want the government doing. They have PROVEN they can screw that up; just look at the state of public education in America. That is why I pay more money (including my taxes) to send my children to a private school which doesn't hire and retain civil servants who graduated from the colleges of Education which (check this) have the lowest ACT score entrants of any college within a University. Check that fact. It is not rude at all to expect our paid "servants" to do a much better job than they do in far too many cases…education being just the first which comes to mind. As for building highways, spaceships, airplanes etc. the last I checked the government has never done any of those. Ever hear of contractors who do that e.g. Boeing, Lockheed-Martin, Northrop Grumman, Asplundh (roads), et al? Government civil servants "administrate" the contracts to have those things done. They don't, and frankly, wouldn't be capable of doing those activities. I've been on both sides of this equation for decades (government and contractor) and I see what really goes on. The civil servants are the Ward Cleavers who show up and up push the paper for way too much money, then take 5 weeks vacation and then retire with an amount that is astronomical compared to what they contributed (esp. under the older CSRS, but also FERS) … and that "retirement" amount is a big chunk of what is bankrupting the U.S.
No, it is not rude to be fed up with paying way too much for way too little for way too long. There is a lot to criticize about government civil servants. If we laid off (fired) about 33% of them tomorrow it would be a good start and we, as a country, would be much better off.
They want that much ammo in case they have to shoot us, DUH!
More or less.
It's simple. They are expecting civil unrest in the near future. For what reason and how it will portray it's self only they know. Well that's my two cents worth. Without going completely tin foal hat on the subject. 🙂
It's hard to tell if this post is the usual anti-gummint screed, or the usual anti-LEO screed. Probably both.
Are you jealous of the people who write the posts or own this site? Probably both.
hey if you like The Party, i mean gvt, so much and thought police state, ooops…i mean LEOs, so much, then start your own forum…
I love Big Brother. He is Double Plus Good.
Well, if they order all the ammo you can't get any. Like magazines for a SCAR 17S.
With that in mind, when you are buying a new gun should it be in .40S&W or 9mm?
For those of you saying that it comes out to 50 rounds per month, Do you think there are 9 million employees of the DHS?
The average line agent in the Border Patrol shoot an average of 2000 rounds of pistol ammo in a year. That number doesn't include the speciality units that train more frequently than the line agents. Seeing how just a couple of years ago, budget shortfalls almost canceled quarterly qualifications. Look at it this way, most BP agents work solo in the desert. If/when an agent encounters a group of armed drug smugglers, that agent has to be extremely proficient with firearms to prevail. That level of proficiency requires lots of ammo. DHS includes CBP, ICE, AMO, Secret Service, and the Coast Guard. That's a bunch of gun carriers.
remember the united states coast gaurd is under DHS. they have special teams who in a given year would per shooter use more than 680 rounds in a range or two. As a former USMC CQB team member my Plt. would easily shoot 5000+ rounds in a single range….in one day. just my 2 cents.
If they have it, you don't.
Isn't this purchase for hollow points? Who trains with hollow points?
For very practical and legal liability issues, law enforcement personnel train with the exact ammo they carry on duty.
I got it, somebody has decided that the Coast Guard no longer needs to shoot surplus stock. I consider it odd that in these lean economic times the government can afford to spend this much on ammunition. Not ships for the Coast Guard; not training for the TSA and its TSO; not replacing random asbestos containing buildings; nor improving infrastructure, and certainly not on education. Ammunition. Paranoid much?
You do understand that CBP officers (not to include SS or the other DHS branches) shoot a minimum of 280 rounds of .40 cal every three months right? 680 rounds per person covers the required qualifications and a bit extra range time.
No one has mentioned it yet, but this ammunition probably isn't just for Customs and Border Patrol, but because the DHS also oversees the Federal Flight Deck Officer program. The agency is tight lipped over the actual numbers but its rumored to be well over 10,000 volunteers and is possibly ranked third in total size against all other federal law enforcement agencies alone. That alone would account for much of that order.
Also they really were never on board with the concept of that program anyway, and with current DHS funding cuts, both the FAM service and the FFDO program could be cut significantly. They would rather spend your tax money on a 3 million dollar airport scanner.
Sorry if I posted this twice by the way.
DHS is pure and simply incompetant. They took away all of the previous weapons the individual agencies had and replaced them with a new handgune (do your own homework on this) they were all chambered for the 40sw. Many of the officers and agents were having great difficulty in qualifying with new handgun and ammo. Some genus decided that if this was the case they would keep the guns and use 130 gr bullets, anyone who knows anything about the difference between 40 and 9mm knows that a 130 gr 4o is of no value. In short time the DHS realized thier idiocy and pulled all of the 130gr back… no one seems to know where that went, Might i suggest that you write Ms. Clinton, she probably knows… so now they had no ammo and had to go into the market and buy new…. and then we hear of the 450 million round purchase. No conspiracty here… just plain old ordinary liberal stumbling… instead of using the same round that most Military units use they went down this road….
As to the 223 they are trying to buy…the story is simple… one day they woke up to find they didnt have enough long guns…(actually very few) they elected to go buy them… allegedly the buy was made. I dont know what they bought. then they discovered they had no ammo for them and couldnt get them through Military sourcing so they went out for commercial rounds…i would suggest that everyone write one of the agencies, or bettter yet call and speak to them to verify this…
The good thing is that they werent trying to soak the out of the civilan marketplace.. the bad thing is these are the miscreants that are supposed to be watching our borders, and a myriad of other duties. PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS NOT AN INDICTMENT OF ANY OF THE LINE OFFICERS AND OPERATORS, THEY ARE A PRAISWORTHY GROUP.
This rests entirely upon the "upper management" …. just one more thing… these are the self same forces designed to protect your civil rights including one oft overlooked one refered to as the 2nd ammendment…
Go check for yourself.. Google "DHS" get the names of all thier agencies and start calling.. if you find differently please post.
And, buy them (and the TSA) some treadmills, if you want your guys to look like 'operators' then weighing them down with ammo ain't gonna help. BTW, it's not cool to hang several inches over your 511's. Just sayin.

Swindon plan to attack Chelsea
Mark Cooper says Swindon will not alter their eye-catching playing style when they face Chelsea in the Capital One Cup.
Last Updated: 24/09/13 12:14pm
Mark Cooper says Swindon will not alter their eye-catching playing style when they face Chelsea in the Capital One Cup.
It means a sold-out Country Ground and the Sky Sports audience will get to witness Cooper's brand of passing football that he has unitised since being handed the reigns this summer against Jose Mourinho's star-studded line-up.
Their thrilling 3-2 victory over rivals Bristol City on Saturday was the latest in a string of impressive displays from a young squad and, despite the challenge that awaits from Juan Mata and co, Cooper will be sticking with what he knows.
"We want to go out and show what we're all about, which is trying to play football, get forward, score goals and be exciting," he said.
"We've worked on that, that's what we're going to try to do and make it the best game and best spectacle possible.
"Of course we can't go all guns blazing like we probably do on a Saturday, we have to be a bit more conservative, but we can't alter the style of play because that would be a disservice to the players we've got."
The former Tamworth manager will be without two of his attacking talents in Ryan Mason (thigh) and Ryan Harley (medial ligaments) but Tottenham loanee and England Under-20 international Alex Pritchard is available again after suspension.
Right-back Nathan Byrne will sit out the third game of his three-match ban and while Cooper's squad will certainly be stretched his opposite number looks set to unleash a number of his big names.
The Portuguese has already confirmed that Mata will start while the likes of Michael Essien, David Luiz, Ryan Bertrand and Cesar Azpilicueta are all expected to feature.
And Swindon captain Darren Ward says no matter which internationals end up lining up against the Sky Bet League One side, they cannot afford to be distracted.
"The concentration part of it is really important," he said.
"You can be sidetracked for many reasons - there are a lot more press there, the TV is there, there are a lot more fans - there are a lot of reasons why you can be distracted so concentration is very important.
"It's not going to be easy but, like every game, we're going to approach it properly. We'll do what we do best, it's a great test for all of us against one of the best teams in the world."

Not Durmstrang?
User:Groxhugger has expressed the opinion that the text does not support that this student is necessarily from Durmstrang. I, however, disagree. The Durmstrang students leave the Hall collectively, and this girl is next to Poliakoff. It is not until Karkaroff and Moody have their brief exchange that other students approach the doors as well. Addtionally, what reason would Poliakoff have to point out Harry to a Hogwarts student; surely they'd all already be well aware of who he is? -- 1337star (Drop me a line!) 22:56, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
- I agree to this, she is definitely a Durmstrang. Just because she isn't mentioned to be Durmstrang doesn't mean we can't identify her as one. This is the same with everything. --DCLM (talk) 23:03, July 11, 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not saying she was part of the student mass that was following Durmstrang. I'm saying we might want to mention that she isn't definently a Durmstrang. I think she could have been full and gone ahead or followed Krum 'cause he's famous. Also, if you see a celebrity, you tell everyone, not just people who haven't noticed them.

2014 Daytona: RCR NASCAR Nationwide Race Recap
Posted by: newsla on Feb 23, 2014 - 02:41 PM
2014 Daytona: RCR NASCAR Nationwide Race Recap
Brian Scott kicked off the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series season at Daytona International Speedway by qualifying in the 20th position for the DRIVE4COPD 300. In the opening laps, Scott rocketed to the front of the field with his Shore Lodge Chevrolet Camaro picking up 12 spots before the first caution flag waved on lap eight. The team visited pit road for a fuel only stop and quickly returned to the on-track action. Scott fell to the rear of the pack after watching the Camaro's water temperature rise. Reporting he was loose off exit, the team took two right ride tires and fuel during green-flag pit stops on lap 52. At the halfway mark, Scott ran in the ninth position and remained there until the team returned to pit road on lap 72 for fuel only. It was a chess match to the finish as Scott raced side-by-side and single file while the laps wound down. Running sixth, he was in contention to make a charge for the lead, but lost momentum when the low line gained the advantage in the draft resulting in the 17th-place finish. The top-20 finish places Scott 11th in the driver points standings heading into the next Saturday's NNS race at Phoenix International Speedway.
Start - 20th Finish - 17th Laps Led - 0 Points - 11th
BRIAN SCOTT QUOTE: "That's superspeedway racing for you. I'm happy we didn't tear up our Shore Lodge Chevrolet, but disappointed because our car was much better than a 17th-place finish. Unfortunately, I got hung out to dry before that last caution and we weren't able to redeem ourselves within the last few laps. We were just hanging on there at the end and going to make a move if it was there."
Ty Dillon Finishes ÂSeventh in DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway
Ty Dillon drove Richard Childress Racing's No. 3 Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Boats Chevrolet Camaro to a seventh-place finish in the DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway. In the first NASCAR Nationwide Series race of the season, Dillon started 23rd and quickly moved his Camaro into the top 10, sitting fifth on lap 39. After taking four tires and fuel on a green-flag pit stop on lap 53, Dillon moved into second place. On lap 72, the No. 3 team was penalized for speeding on pit road and served a pass through penalty. Following the penalty, crew chief Danny Stockman called Dillon to stay out on track and save fuel. Stockman's call paid off as Dillon cracked the top 10. In a green-white-checkered finish, the No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet crossed the finish line in seventh place, now holding fifth place in the NASCAR Nationwide Series point standings. Dillon was the highest finishing rookie in the 120-lap season opener at Daytona.
Start - 23rd Finish - 7th Laps Led - 0 Points - 5th
TY DILLON QUOTE: "I'm extremely pleased with how our No. 3 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet preformed today. Danny (Stockman, crew chief) and the guys did a great job giving me the fastest race car possible. It was an exciting finish. This is a great way to start the NASCAR Nationwide Series, and a great start to our goal of winning a championship."
Brendan Gaughan Gambles with Fuel Strategy to Collect a Sixth-Place Finish at Daytona International Speedway
Brendan Gaughan drove the No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet Camaro to a sixth-place finish in the NASCAR Nationwide Series season opener at Daytona International Speedway. Gaughan started in the 27th position and elected to bring his No. 62 Chevrolet to pit road for right side tires and fuel during the first caution on lap nine. The Las Vegas-native restarted 34th and began to gain spots on the field throughout the next 20 laps. During Gaughan's second pit stop, the team made chassis adjustments to improve handling of the Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet. Crew chief Shane Wilson gambled during the Lap 70 caution by making the call to take fuel only, and no tires. The call restarted Gaughan in the 11th position putting him in an ideal place to draft his way to a sixth-place finish on the 2.5 mile superspeedway. The finish places the No.62 South Point Hotel & Casino driver and team fourth in the championship points standings.
Start - 27th Finish - 6th Laps Led - 0 Points - 4th
BRENDAN GAUGHAN QUOTE: "It's great to be leaving Daytona without a bunch of wrecked cars and without being in the big one. I really like the new rule package NASCAR has put in place this season and I believe from the fan reaction, they like it too. I had so much fun out there today. This is an awesome start for the South Point Chevrolet. I'm so glad to be starting off the season with this sixth-place finish. This is the best finish I've had here and it means a lot to me and my team."

Michael Collins (1890 –1922) was an Irish revolutionary leader, Minister for Finance and a member of the first Irish parliament in 1919. He was both Chairman of the Provisional Government and Commander-in-chief of the Irish National Army. Collins was killed in an anti-Treaty forces ambush in August 1922 during the Irish Civil War. This scene shows his .455 Webley Mk VI revolver recovered from the ambush, mass card issued after his death, various photos during his life and his cap badge as commander-in-chief of the Irish National Army. I drew this scene exclusively for this competition in AutoCAD 2010, rendered the final scene in 3D Max and finished it with titles using Photoshop CS3.

Nature & Biodiversity
The Phoenix Park is a highly important site for biodiversity in Dublin City and is an extremely valuable resource for the people of Dublin and its visitors. It supports 50% of the mammal species found in Ireland and about 40% of bird species.
Among the 351 different plant species to be found in the Park there are three, which are rare and protected. The Park has retained almost all of its old grasslands and woodlands and also has rare examples of wetlands. In addition, The Phoenix Park is the location of Dublin Zoo, which interprets aspects of biodiversity to over 900,000 people each year.
One animal in particular, the fallow deer, was directly responsible for the development of The Phoenix Park and almost three hundred and fifty years later there still remains a very successful herd in existence.

Lucasfilm has announced that the series soundtrack for Star Wars: The Clone Wars – something fans have been clamoring for since the show began in 2008 – will finally be released on May 4, 2013.
The series soundtrack features 38 of composer Kevin Kiner's wonderful pieces, from Savage Opress' heart-pounding theme to the heartbreaking John Williams-inspired music heard during the final moments of the series. With this release, you'll be able to relive all of your favorite moments from the series' 108 episodes.
Due to Disney's recent acquisition of Lucasfilm, the soundtrack will be jointly released under the Sony Classics and Walt Disney Records labels. "This was a difficult feat from a legal standpoint," said Ken Bunt, the Executive Vice President of Disney Music Group. "But with the conclusion of The Clone Wars television show, we felt it was time to give fans the music they've been waiting for."
When The Clone Wars soundtrack is released on Star Wars Day, it will be made available exclusively on audio cassette. "You won't find this music anywhere else," said Sony Music Entertainment Chairman and CEO Doug Morris. "We recently partnered with Lucasfilm and Craig Boliver from I Am Shark to bring The Phantom Menace score to vinyl for the first time, and the fan response has been fantastic. Audio cassette is an experience unlike any other, and fans young and old will soon be able to experience – or re-experience – the magic with The Clone Wars."
In conjunction with this release, John Williams' famous scores will also be re-released on cassette tape, including for the first time Revenge of the Sith. So dust off your old tape players and take those tape-to-audio-jack adapters out of your cars, because Star Wars is coming back to audio cassette!

"Capture" 9 p.m., CW We have no shortage of "survival"-oriented competitions this summer, so the natural reaction is "Why bother with another?" "Capture," though, is strong enough to get past our "not again" aversion, thanks to an interesting premise and decent production.
Twelve teams of two are sent into the woods to survive and play a game – a big, technology-assisted version of tag. One pair is assigned to be the "hunters" and gets eight hours over two days to track down two other teams. The survivors then decide which of the captured pairs will go home.
"Capture," therefore, grabs a little bit of the "Survivor" strategy to add to its more viscerally fun game of chase – although foot speed appears to be more important than political ability. "Capture" would be better with a little more time with the competitors, but that probably will grow as the population dwindles.
Verdict: Watch this
"Whose Line Is It Anyway?" 8 p.m., CW Two recommended shows for the CW? Strange as it seems, the revival of this long-running improv-comedy show has made Channel 5 a fine place to stop on Tuesday nights. Wayne Brady, Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie have plenty of comic gas left.
"Deadliest Catch" 9 p.m., Discovery After nine seasons and several shiploads of human drama, "Deadliest Catch" feels like its sell-by date is approaching, but we haven't quite reached it yet. As one of the most real reality shows around, "Deadliest Catch" still manages to hold our interest – at least as far as tonight's two-hour season finale.
"Bad Girls All Star Battle" 8 p.m., Oxygen Have you ever become so obsessed with stretching the Thanksgiving turkey that by Dec. 18 you're contemplating what you can make out of turkey dust? If so, you would make a great programmer at Oxygen, which tonight offers the third hour of "post-season" programming for "Bad Girls All Star Battle," which ran for only eight episodes. On the other hand, what else does Oxygen have?

Several Ahwatukee Foothills musical groups are set to perform at this weekend's annual Arts Jam in Tempe.
Desert Vista High School's Jazz Choir and Altadeña Jazz Band will perform at Saturday's event.
This year's Arts Jam will be at Corona del Sol High School in order to cut back on fees and increase community involvement, said Jennifer Doering, vice president of communications for Arts Council for Youth, a non-profit organization planning Arts Jam.
In addition to Ahwatukee performances, the event will also include booths featuring various arts and crafts, free chair massages, food vendors and free face painting and other activities for kids.
"Without the kids, the music, the creative energy bustling, it would be just another morning of busy chores," Doering said.
A high level of student participation and involvement enriches the event, she said.
"When school performers share the results of their hard work with people in the greater community, I think they become encouraged to develop their talents," Doering said. "When community members who may otherwise be doubtful of the values of the Arizona public education, when they get to share in the performances, it's easier for them to support our schools and arts programs."
Admission is free. Proceeds from silent auction items will benefit the groups, Doering said.
Money raised at Arts Jam benefits performance groups as grants and other forms of financial assistance and publicity.
This year's Arts Jam features the largest silent auction to date at the festival.
"For me, it's about catching these kids and showing them that the community really does care if they've worked all year to ... hit those notes," Doering said.
The festival will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Corona del Sol High School, 1001 E. Knox Road.
For a complete schedule of performers and more information, visit www.artsjam.org.
Kathleen Gormley is interning this semester for the Ahwatukee Foothills News. She is a sophomore at Arizona State University.

Google staff are set to give businesses advice on how to use the internet to boost their income.
The experts will talk retailers through setting up a website and carrying out online marketing when they visit the Queens Road Learning Centre in Walthamstow tomorrow.
The workshop was organised through Waltham Forest Council and Walthamstow MP Stella Creasey, and the 120 spaces on it have been filled by local small businesses.
Cabinet member for economic development, Mark Rusling, said he hoped the advice would enable shops and businesses to expand.
He added: "We want to boost business in the borough and that is why we're investing in our high streets to support local shops and services. This Google workshop is an example of the support that we are providing small and medium businesses to help them to develop and grow."
Miss Creasey added: "A successful online presence is vital for businesses based in Walthamstow and successful small businesses mean a strong local economy.
"I hope that as many businesses as possible take advantage of the expertise on offer from Google."
The workshop, which starts at 3.45pm, comes after the council announced a £9 million regeneration of some of the borough's high streets, which are set to benefit from facelifts and money spent on improving public spaces.

We report on a transverse load sensor with enhanced sensitivity through the use of a birefringent interferometer based on a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber (HB-PCF). The transverse load sensitivity can be enhanced by using a fabricated HB-PCF having larger air holes on its fast axis. The transverse load sensitivity was measured to be high: . The temperature-induced undesirable effects can be ignored because transmission outputs of our HB-PCF were stable with the change of the temperature. The sensing probe can be compact because of its high birefringence with the order of and no bending loss.

Kung sets early pace
Taiwan's Candie Kung holds the clubhouse lead after firing a seven-under-par 65 in the first round of the women's British Open at Turnberry.
Kung, who is celebrating her 21st birthday, is one shot ahead of Australia's Karrie Webb who shot a strong round of 66.
"But today I felt pretty close to my best and it feels good to shoot 66 and still know there is room for improvement," said Webb.
Defending champion Se Ri Pak of Korea and Germany's Elisabeth Esterl are also well placed on five under.
Six other players including early clubhouse leaders Carin Koch and Mi Hyun Kim and Scotland's Mhairi McKay finished the day on four under par.
In the clubhouse, McKay spoke of her delight.
"It was my best round over the course and I'm thrilled," she said.
"My own - and everyone else's - expectations were very high, and I didn't know how I would cope. But I'm really going to savour this moment."

I was recently awarded (2014) a full scholarship to attend a printmaking workshop this summer at the Penland School of Crafts. I will be spending July working at Penland and learning everything about letterpress printing. Last year, I had the wonderful opportunity of studying art in Cortona, Italy. The Cortona program is a comprehensive art and art history program taught by talented faculty from a variety of backgrounds. It was these professors who first encouraged me to apply to Penland!
After Penland, I will be applying to graduate programs to receive my MFA in Printmaking & Book Arts. With this degree, I hope to teach at the undergraduate level and be apart of an academic artist community. I have gotten a taste of teaching this year as a studio assistant and a private art tutor. During my time at St. Lawrence I have taken a variety of classes, but I have focused the majority of my studies on printmaking and book arts. I had an SYE this fall in advanced printmaking processes with Prof. Melissa Schulenberg and I am currently working on a series of three minimalist paintings for the spring SYE show. In my free time I like to make miniature accordion books that contain watercolor illustrations and my favorite quotes.

google places optimization for accounting firms
Google Places Optimization – Generate More Leads for Your Accounting Practice
Could your accounting practice use more customers? If so, think Google Places.
Google reports that 97% of consumers today search for local businesses online, so having a virtual presence in our digital age is essential. Google Places brings potential customers and local businesses together first online, then in the real world. It's a savvy way for accounting and CPA firms to be found in today's competitive marketplace.
Make It Easy to Get Found
Did I mention that Google Places is free? If reducing marketing expenses isn't enough to pique your interest in the online platform, consider this: a page on Google Places (your Place Page) provides consumers who are new to your area with an easy way to get to know you, read reviews of your services and take action.
Sure, you have a website that works hard to give your accounting practice visibility, but if you want to make sure your accounting firm appears in Google search results, Google Places makes good sense. It's a more direct way to advertise your practice than putting your dollars in newspaper ads, yellow pages or other local efforts.
What's more, iPhone and Android users can find your business listing immediately while on-the-go. They don't need to be in front of a computer to do a search or visit your accounting firm website.
Learn From Your Relationships
As part of your free Google Places listing, you can add content and visuals to your Place Page, highlight special offers or services, and use the platform's reporting tools to gain valuable insight about potential and existing customers.
For example, the Google Places dashboard is especially useful for understanding how customers find your practice. Review how many people are seeing your Place Page at any given time, find out how they have come to your page and see where they have come from. The dashboard makes it easy to see how many times your listing appears as a result of a Google or a Google Maps search, and what keywords people are searching to get to you.
It's also useful for tracking effectiveness. Check the dashboard's top search query results to see how many people found your listing when looking for an accounting firm. Google Places makes it much easier to measure online advertising effectiveness and determine how new business inquiries correlate to Web traffic than, say, a Yellow Pages ad — and, it's a whole lot cheaper. With Google Places, you can make more informed decisions about how to be found on Google and interact with your customers.
Put Your Best Foot Forward
If you can find 15 minutes to spare in your day, you can gain visibility on Google Places. To get the most out of your listing, follow these guidelines to get started.
- Represent your accounting practice exactly as it appears in the offline world. The business name field is just for that: providing the name of your practice. This is not the place to include your marketing tagline, phone number or website URL — unless they are truly part of your business name. You will allow for better searches if you stick to a concise name rather than trying to manipulate search results by adding extraneous keywords.
- Use a precise, accurate address to describe your practice's physical location. One out of five searches on Google are related to location, so every Google Places business listing must have a mailing address. If you office out of your home, you can specify a "service area" during the sign-up process and choose to hide your physical address. If you specialize in multiple services, it's best to create a single listing that highlights all of the specialties rather than creating multiple listings.
- Provide a phone number that connects to your individual practice location as directly as possible, and provide one website that best represents your practice location. This should be pretty straightforward (in any line of business).
- Be specific, but brief, in categorizing your practice. Say what your business is (Certified Public Accountant, Accountant, Enrolled Agent) instead of what you offer (tax accounting). This information can be added in your description.
- Complete the registration fully. Provide Google Places with all relevant information like hours of operation, photos, and appropriate logos. As part of their algorithm, they measure the percent of completeness so lightly completed Google Places pages are seldom visible.
- You must validate. Your Google Places account must be validated just like a newly issued credit card. No validation, no exposure.
This is extremely important for lead generation. Yes, it will take a little extra elbow grease and results are not immediate. For example, correcting your address in Google Places can take weeks.
Your website developer is not responsible to registering your business online and creating usernames and passwords. Just suck it up and do it.
If you want more detail, below are links to articles that go into more depth. All three articles are excellent.

♥ After a troubled past of addictions, rehab & restraining orders, both Brooke & Charlie currently share custody of their sons

Bradford have appointed former Leeds winger Francis Cummins as their new head coach on a three-year contract.
Cummins, who was recommended for the job by his predecessor Mick Potter after he opted to return to Australia, was unveiled on Monday morning at a press conference at Odsal hosted by new owner Omar Khan and honorary chairman Gerry Sutcliffe.
Sutcliffe said: "We had no hesitation in taking Mick's recommendation to offer the job to Francis, and we are delighted he has accepted our offer."
It will be Cummins' first role as a head coach and, at 35, he will be the youngest in Super League when he takes charge of his first match in February. Catalan Dragons boss Trent Robinson is nine months younger but he is leaving at the end of the season to take charge of Sydney Roosters.
Cummins enjoyed a one-club career with Leeds, for whom he made 356 appearances from 1993 to 2005, and also won three caps for Great Britain. The former Ireland international cut his coaching teeth as an assistant at Leeds before being appointed as Potter's number two at the start of the 2010 season.
Cummins insists he is ready to make the step up to the role of head coach.
"I wouldn't be sat here if I didn't think I was ready," he said. "To be honest, I've been ready for a couple of years.
"I had to leave Leeds to further my education. It's been great working with Mick but I've always known I'm ready to have my team.
"I'm really happy with how it's come about. We are the bottom of the hill and we need to work really hard but I know it can be done.
"We had a real tough year but it's definitely made us as a group and it definitely helped me in my education as a coach. When you've got everyone working the right way, it's amazing what you can do. I'm looking forward to take the next step."

When CBS cancelled the popular Without a Trace on May 19, I was disappointed.
I have been a fan of the show since it first aired in 2002. The story of a fictitious FBI missing-persons unit based in New York., it stars an international and multi-cultural cast, all with American accents: Aussie Anthony LaPaglia, Poppy Montgomery, Briton Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Enrique Murciano and Eric Close. An industry friend told me that a show's quality is only one of several criteria (such as ratings) that decide the fate of a television show, and not the top one at that.
Because TNT bought the syndication rights in 2003, Without a Trace will continue in re-run purgatory, in an ongoing unending cycle of lost and found.
Now we won't have the opportunity to accompany this lost sheep squad as they search for the vanished on New York's streets, just as the characters search for themselves. There's more bad news. Catholics in Media Associates in Los Angeles, of which I am a member, gave it an award this year continuing a Sports Illustrated-like cover curse of a quasi-assured demise. (We also awarded Joan of Arcadia, Seventh Heaven, American Dreams that were cancelled shortly after we recognized them for their ability to uplift the human spirit.)
Between network and cable, new episodes or re-runs, FBI, city and military cops, there are more than fifty crime shows on television in any given week. New versions always seem to be in development. Dick Wolf's criminal justice Law & Order and Jerry Bruckheimer's CSI franchises are a nest of golden eggs. Reality crime shows such as CBS' 48 Hours reminds me of the detective magazines my grandfather used to read (my grandmother read movie star magazines.)
Why are we fascinated by crime television? When I lived in the UK (1993-1995) the British police procedural The Bill, on the air regularly since 1984, was the most popular show among male adolescents in custody. The explanation for this was because of the high profile of police in their lives. (The Bill is a slang term for police.) The half-hour series continues to air twice weekly today.
It is true that the United States has more prisoners than any other country in the world but does this account for the general appeal of such programming?
No one knows the compound effect of viewing so much violence on the audience because it is impossible to quantify the meaning that people make from what they watch, read, or listen to. Perhaps because the stories are told in the context of justice and truth, mixed with revenge and other expressions of the seven deadly sins, well-adjusted viewers aren't bothered. Instead their moral imaginations are engaged and they are entertained. (But who is responsible for those who are not well adjusted?)
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
Murder and vice, the scales of justice, instant DNA results, the search for truth: is there a transcendent quality to how we make meaning from these shows? Is this what keeps us coming back for more?
A filmmaker friend of mine recently told me that he defines spirituality as the search for truth.
Without a Trace showed a crime-fighting agency capable of benevolence.
Benevolence and the search for truth, for meaning, are fine qualities for a television show.

How You Cruisin? 9 night explorer of the seas!: Explorer of the Seas Cruise Review by xopaniclover
Overall Member Rating
How You Cruisin? 9 night explorer of the seas!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Bayonne (Cape Liberty)
It was crowded at the WindJammer. There was a lot to eat,but my mom's a diabetic, there should be a healthier eating arrangement of foods. the sandwiches were a bit skimpy and tiny. More but overall, i thought the food was pretty good. lots of options. I shared a room with my 2 sisters.. we had more than enough space for clothe, bathroom was tiny compared to Carnivals. I mean on the carnival ship.. you had a seating area near the bathroom, the shower is tiny to even move in, but oh well! We got our luggage fast, i know other people didn't get it until 9 at night :O anyways, we soon sailed off which was exciting to take pictures of the statue of liberty & the verazano bridge.
I changed later on, and the Welcoming Show was exciting. the dancers and singers are so entertaining.. im jealous of their glittery outfits! Adam Ace was a pretty funny comedian too. Our dinner is at 8:30, which I loved because it gives you enough time to relax, sit on the deck, change and take your time to shower. I was very impressed with our waiters, don't exactly know his name.. I think it was Samiskumar, hes from India and Elias. They were GREAT. There was good food that night, hot & sour shrimp & a quesadilla & dessert. The Casino, i checked out.. the floor when you enter is BEAUTIFUL, all the colors are so fun. I saw some wear & tear on the ship.. stains, rust, carpet rip, but not a big deal at all. I went to the teen optix club, which I really didn't like. I met some nice people, but it wasn't my thing at all.
Day 2:
Woke up late for dining room breakfast so my sisters & I had breakfast in the windjammer.. very good food that I wouldn't have at home.. tried a bit of eggs, fruit, potatos, juice. My sister & I went to the gym, lots of equipment and yoga and classes. ( Make sure you bring more then 1 pair of shorts to sweat in!)
I layed out on the deck with family, the weather was beautiful the whole trip. The pool's water is perfect temperature.. very cooling. Motion sickness wasn't a problem for me, I don't really mind it, once in a while you can feel the boat's swaying and bumpyness but very smooth ride. Tonight was the formal dinner, yay! Had plenty of time to curl hair & shower.. lots of photographers set up to take pictures. For dinner, I had escargot, and Indian curry,love Indian food. The Invitation to Dance show was great. If you like Dancing With The Stars, you'll love this. I'm 14, I was put into the 12-14 group, but imn mature for my age, and im friends with mostly 15 year olds so I wanted to switch to the 15-17 group. The girl I talked to at Guest Relations Desk didn't say much. She didn't even help.. she just said we can't switch,so I was kinda bummed out. My dad had a point.. we're paying for this cruise.. I want to enjoy my time here! At night, the room stewards made a towel dog for our room, aww.
Day 3: We're docked in Bermuda!!! wooh, time to get off this ship & explore. For breakfast, I had a bagel with smoked salmon & cream cheese, & fruit, mmm. We rented towels on the pool deck, Bermuda looks like Europe! The buildings look so historical, like Italy or Greece kinda. We took a taxi to Horseshoe Bay ( aka Pink Sand Beach) I was a bit dissapointed to see the rain pouring. On the beach, the rain soon cleared up shortly & the sun was out. The weather was hot! Couldn't ask for better weather. The sand looks like normal sand.. expected it to be a bit more pink but when you pink up some sand near the water.. there are lots of pink grains! The water was GORGEOUS, beautiful. there was a small cove for people who don't like to go in far, & people could climb the rocks. I was shocked to hear how expensive the island is. Gas is nearly $9! We had lunch in the Windjammer, rested in our cabins, and got dressed. Tonight was 70's themed night, there was a disco/village people party on the promenade which was fun.
Day 4: At sea. Woke up early & had breakfast in the dining room with my dad. It was different, today we sat with a nice older couple who were from Ohio & were funny. I went to the gym, and tanned on the pool deck. I checked out Deck 14 which is a cozy quiet lounge area indoors, and then rock climbing, skating & golf outdoors, never got to try any of that :( but it's on my list for next time! My dad got us switched to the older group, the manager was nice & made an exception easily & the teen Optix club was a lot of fun, met some nice people!
Day 5: Docked in St Maarten!! had a small breakfast in the Windjammer & headed off for our island tour which was interesting & fun! Learned about the Dutch & French side. We went to Maho beach where the planes fly over your head, awesome experience! The island looks so tropical. All the houses are colors of green,purple,pink! The tour driver stopped whenever we wanted to take pictures, he was funny! He provided us with complimentary beverages in a cooler which was great! We shopped around for a bit, and soon went to Orient Beach.. nude beach. the sights.. were interesting LOL. We soon got back on the ship & got ready for dinner. Our waiter Samiskumar was AMAZING. He always made us laugh, and told us funny jokes or a new trick every night. He catered to our every need & always made sure we were satisfied with our food. Elias was great too, constantly refilled our water, spoke a little Spanish to him haha!
Day 6: My family & family friends all sat and had breakfast together. St. Thomas looked the same as St. Maarten! We shopped a bit, and had lunch at a restaurant which was kinda hidden, but we had an amazing view of the ship, water & palm trees. Later on the ship, we had tickets & went to the Ice Show which was AMAZING. small ice rink, and they were so flexible & entertaining, had me on the edge of my seat! after dinner, we went to the Love & marriage Game show, which was HILARIOUS. I was laughing every second, & our cruise director, Jimmy Rhodes was too funny.
Day 7: Docked at 8, and had to be back on board by 12:30, very short amount of time. The weather was very humid & hot all trip. We explored San Juan, very nice sights. El Convento was interesting. It was around from the 1600's or so, it was a nun house which is now a hotel! The scenery was beautiful. We saw the fort near the water. Lots of exotic animals on the island ! Had dinner on the ship, and went to the teen club which was fun.
Day 8: Pretty much slept all morning, got up at 2 ish and sat out on the deck to soak up the sun with my sisters. At 6, we started to get ready for the formal dinner. Mmmm delicious lobster dinner! We took pictures with the waiters! We saw a cute show afterwords, based on famous movie songs like Footloose & Dirty Dancing. I hung out with friends on the deck afterwards which was relaxing. We got a cute hanging towel monkey later at night:)!
Day 9: Lunch in the dining room was so good! There is a salad bar in the front where they prepare a salad for you, they made me a Greek salad & it was SO GOOD. We started packing up all our stuff. I was kinda excited to go back home, missed my cats too much! Went ice skating which was fun, I have no clue how those ice skaters could be so graceful on such slippery ice!! The comedian before dinner was really funny!, Jimmy rhodes was great & made us laugh with the Top 10 funniest questions asked! I wasn't impressed with tonight's dinner. I got a calzone, which honestly tasted like cold pizza ick. the pumpkin soup wasn't what i expected, it was like a salty clam chowder. and the steak was either really pink or dry. but our waiters were still great & made sure we were happy.
I later on met up with friends where we stayed out and had drinks at the promenade cafe, and went all the way up to the Helicopter pad and it was windy, yet beautiful.. couldn't believe we were almost reaching New Jersey. We dipped our feet in the hot tub, so relaxing. On the last day, there was a group of teenagers who were being really disruptive, and screaming/singing on every balcony floor of the promenade.. security was pissed.. but we found it funny hahah.
Everything was great. The music on the ship was lively & fun, mostly reggae. I wish there were a few more family/ teen activities. A lot were for adults, like karaoke.
Also for the 1 A.M cruise curfew for junior cruisers.. I guess it's a good ruled that was enforced. There were workers who asked to check our Seapass cards for our age, but I don't think they should tell you when to go to your cabin unless your causing harm and being disruptive like running around.. I was usually just sitting outside on the deck with a few people! Less

From a media release:
May 10-26, 2013 in Toronto
English Language World Premiere of Quebec Playwright's Masterpiece
"Toronto's enterprising One Little Goat Theatre Company" (New York Times) presents the English language world premiere of The Charge of the Expormidable Moose by Claude Gauvreau. Considered a "giant" and "revolutionary" of Quebec theatre (Le Devoir), Gauvreau is little known outside his native province. Gauvreau's provocative seven-person play, widely considered to be his masterpiece, is translated by Ray Ellenwood and directed by One Little Goat's Artistic Director, Adam Seelig.
• The Equity production opens Friday, May 10, 2013 and runs to May 26, Tuesdays - Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. at the Tarragon Theatre Extra Space, 30 Bridgman Avenue. Tickets are $25; $20 for students, seniors and artists; and $28/$23 in the final week; Sundays PWYC. Info and tickets are available from the Tarragon box office at 416-531-1827, or from www.OneLittleGoat.org.
The design team for One Little Goat's largest production to date boasts over a dozen Dora awards and nominations collectively: Jackie Chau, sets and costumes; Laird MacDonald, lighting; and Thomas Ryder Payne, sound. The seven-person cast will be announced in the spring.
Claude Gauvreau (1925-1971)
Revered in Quebec as a visionary poet-playwright, an original contributor to the 1948 Refus Global manifesto by Montreal's radical Automatistes, admired by director Robert Lepage and performance poets The Four Horsemen, Claude Gauvreau is an artistic force. His innovative use of language, which he called "explorean", tested the very limits of lyricism. Overwhelmed by the suicide of his love and muse (performer Muriel Guilbault), Gauvreau experienced continual psychiatric treatment until, in 1971, he ended his life.
The Charge of the Expormidable Moose revolves around a poet who is envied, mocked and ultimately sacrificed by his fellow housemates (or are they fellow inmates?). Playful and surreal, yet deeply rooted in powerful experiences, The Charge of the Expormidable Moose combines the absurdity of Ionesco with the cruelty of Artaud to create an exceptional drama.
One Little Goat, North America's only company devoted to contemporary poetic theatre, "has done audiences a huge service" (Toronto Star) through its highly interpretive, provocative approach to international plays. The company's Canadian and world premieres have garnered praise from the New York Times, Globe and Mail, Economist, Now and others. More information on the company is available on Wikipedia and at www.OneLittleGoat.org.
The Charge of the Expormidable Moose is generously supported by the Ontario Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council and the Bureau de Québec à Toronto, and is presented in partnership with Théâtre français de Toronto.

Jane Parke joins her explorer father (Smith) in Africa and sets off on safari in search of the fabled elephants graveyard. In the jungle, she is swept away by Tarzan, a white savage who lives with apes and has never seen a human woman.
Edgar Rice Burrough's Lord Greystoke, aka Tarzan of the Apes, had been in silent pictures since the 1918 Tarzan of the Apes, starring Elmo Lincoln, and there were competing early talkies – but this MGM production, starring Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller as the lithe jungle man and Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane, kicked off the long-running series.
It takes character names from Burroughs, but ditches the backstory – this Tarzan just happens to be living with apes 'beyond the Mutia Escarpment' with no further explanation needed – and introduces a few elements (like Cheetah the chimp and the famous yell)which would become indelibly associated with the character. Incorporating African stock footage shot by director W.S. Van Dyke the year before on Trader Horne, it's a picture of its times – with explicit sensuality (really, Tarzan is naked throughout) and bloody violence that wouldn't have been possible after the censorship crackdown of 1934, and racist attitudes that now seem appalling (when a native bearer falls to his death, white hunter Neil Hamilton grumbles about losing the supplies that were in his pack – and later he lays about his 'boys' with a whip).
It comes to life in the jungle idyll with the boyish, doesn't-know-his-own-strength Tarzan and the initially resistant, eventually adoring Jane – Weissmuller and O'Sullivan are splendid, and she carries the scenes with monologue (by Ivor Novello, no less) as Tarzan remains mostly mute. Plus: charging elephants, a tribe of evil dwarves, a giant gorilla, a hippo attack, crocodiles, lions and a million pounds' worth of ivory.
Very of its time but the chemistry between the two leads is still electric.

MUSIC lovers packed into a Worcester city park for Youthcomm Radio's annual Minifest.
With a line-up including Abby Inez, who reached number seven behind Ed Sheeran in the iTunes singer songwriter charts, and Of Kings and Captains, who last year toured with Bon Jovi, families and groups of friends took advantage of the weather for the festival in Cripplegate Park, St John's yesterday.
David Wooldridge, presenter on the city's youth community station, said the number of people attending this year had jumped massively from previous years.
"I can't believe how many people came down - it just shows that if you put something on in Worcester, people will come to it and get involved with the community," he said.
Having to arrange an earlier time slot because of supporting Dolly Parton at the LG Arena in the Forum Live the same night, Abby Inez said she was looking forward to gracing the stage.
She said: "I am really excited - I did it two years ago."The country pop singer who will also play at Upton Music Festival and Malvern Rocks anticipates her new EP to be released at the end of the year.
Josh Lomas, guitarist from Of Kings and Captains, a band who have entertained the Cripplegate crowds in previous years and will be playing the Worcester Music Festival later this year as well as Wireless Festival in two weeks, said: "It's a great event with a really friendly atmosphere - Worcester crowds are always a lot of fun and supportive."
Parents Kim and Barry Wesbury, who live in St John's, brought their twin sons, Cole and Kristian, aged five, and enjoyed a picnic in front of the stage.
They said: "It's beautiful weather for it and we always come to the music events that go on in the park because they are so close to us."
As well as music there were a variety of stalls and portable crazy golf to entertain the crowds.

LITHIA — Newsome jumped out to a 17-0 lead in the first quarter Thursday and easily put away Springstead 63-24 in a 5A region quarterfinal.
Newsome coach Jon Mackey said he challenged his team in the locker room during halftime to not let up for the rest of the game.
He credited the win to the momentum gained from the solid shooting around the perimeter.
"Anytime you come out shooting well, you're going to give your team good momentum for the rest of the game," Mackey said. "When you get a team frustrated with themselves you have to use that to your own advantage, and that's what we did tonight."
Wolves leading scorer Samal Shepherd finished with 26, followed by Jake Hodges with 13.
The Wolves will next play Tuesday against Ocala Forest.
Eagles miscues led to turnovers and frustration set in for Springstead. Eagles coach Steve Thompson and the starting five argued about what was going wrong on the court.
Naquan Inniss had 11 points for the Eagles.

"I just need to get one more mile in" (but why?) ... "I'm not content with what I've already done" (really self, really?) ... "Life will just be so much better if I just run to that electric box instead of the stop sign" ... "It hurts, but I'm just gonna run through it anyways" (why are we being so dumb today?) ... "Take a day off?" ... "Wait, what?" ...
It's amazing how much we change over time. It's even more amazing how something like running can be that thing that changes us. The more I think about how much I've grown as a person over the years, the more I can't help but attribute much of what I've learned about myself (and others) to running itself. Lots of little things. A few bigger ones. How to be simultaneously content but not quite fully satisfied. When to push it. When to back off. Why it's a good thing to actually take days off. How awesomely fresh your legs feel when you do take a day off. How to just be. (And by that, I hardly mean be lazy and kick the feet up more frequently). Rather, be smarter when it comes to training. Don't rush it. Enjoy the slow build up. Wallow in the taper ... something I still (and will probably always) struggle with. Listen to your body when all you want to do is pound the pavement and log the miles. Yes, I can certainly be deemed a hypocrite, but hey, I'm still learning too.
Sure, every day is different. We're always motivated by slightly different things, and we talk to ourselves in different tones and with different strains of heart on a day to day basis. But when it comes down to it, all that stuff we learn from time spent on the roads, on the trails, in triple-knotted shoes, on the couch in utter agony because we're unable to run, is something that we'll probably never forget.
And as the bib numbers and stray safety pins continue to pile up, it's hard to deny that I'll forever be a student of the sport of running.

Dog owners must control animals
Saturday, Apr 19, 2014 06:00 am
There�s trouble on the trail. Not St. Albert Trail this time, but rather the city�s off-leash hiking trails.
Earlier this week in the St. Albert Gazette, local resident Mark Haun wrote a letter to the editor describing how, as an avid runner, he was engaging in his favourite pastime before being viciously attacked by two dogs that came up behind him with no warning. Haun said he was bitten in the abdomen by the two dogs that were running loose. Haun made the proper observation: dog attacks can be prevented with the use of a leash.
This attack echoes concerns made by a parent who contacted the Gazette a few weeks ago regarding an off-leash area near Neil M. Ross school. Michelle Receveur, a lunchtime supervisor for the school and a parent, said she and others, including school administration, had concerns about an off-leash area adjacent the school.
The city plans to have 20 off-leash areas remain when the new animal bylaw comes into effect in September. Citizens who enjoy walking the city should take note.
An attack like the one Haun suffered is not necessarily the sign of a bad dog; it�s almost certainly the sign of a bad owner. Dog owners may be oblivious to the fact that there are many thousands of people in the city who don�t like dogs, don�t want dogs jumping up on them and certainly do not want dogs ripping at their abdomen while they�re trying to mind their own business on taxpayer-funded hiking trails.
Dog bites are a municipal responsibility and the city confirmed Wednesday it handles such incidents under the animal control bylaw and the provincial Dangerous Dog Act. St. Albert RCMP told the Gazette Wednesday they only get involved if a dog has been labeled in court as a threat. Cpl. Laurel Kading noted, however, that even in off-leash areas, dog owners must have their animal under control at all times.
And in a more practical sense, it behooves dog owners to be responsible in their own best interest, even if they are not concerned about the harm their uncontrolled dog may cause an innocent victim.
Iginla and Co. Barristers and Solicitors, an Edmonton law firm, states on its website, �The dog bite laws in Alberta are clear. Owners of dogs who bite will in the overwhelming majority of cases be liable to the victim for damages. The standard is in favour of the person who is bitten by the dog and since (sic) it need only be proven that the dog bite(s) injury occurred for this liability to apply.�
Dogs can�t police themselves; that�s what they have an owner for. Dog owners have a responsibility to get their animal trained and to keep it under control at all times, including in off-leash areas. Please show your neighbours and other local residents respect and keep your dog under control.
