Zoo York Shoes were created out of inspiration that began in the early 1970s. "The Soul Artists of Zoo York sprang to life from Manhattan's Riverside Park and built a thriving scene with aerosol, skateboards, block rockin' beats, and originality at its core that quickly took on a life of its own and became an unstoppable global force," according to the official Zoo York website. The name was inspired from a man named Marc Andre Edmonds, a New York City artist, who dubbed the name for a subway tunnel underneath Central Park Zoo where graffiti crews would mark their territory at night by tagging the walls in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1993, three skateboarders Rodney Smith, Eli Morgan Gessner and Adam Schatz teamed up to create the brand Zoo York, which was the "East Coast's first true skateboarding inspired lifestyle brand," according to the official Zoo York website. The products were made to resemble the dark and gritty nature of New York City. The brand began with just T shirts and decks, but quickly evolved into a full blown streetwear collection that featured military styles and urban athletic styling that was made to withstand the rugged terrain of the city. "Today, Zoo York is a highly evolved, globally recognized brand with unbreakable East Coast attitude and dialect," according to the official Zoo York website. Recently, the company was sold to Mark Ecko with Ashton Kutcher becoming the new face of the brand. Zoo York is recognized not only in the United States but also across Europe and continues to design clothes, shoes and other products for men and women that are influenced by skateboarding, graffiti, hip hop, punk and everything in between. The Bronx Zoo is a large zoo that houses more than 4,000 animals in the heart of Bronx, New York. The Bronx.

DRAFTED August 5, 1971On August 5, 1971 the United States Selective Service Commission held a lottery to draft young men into the United States Army resulting in what would be the last draft call, occurring December 7, 1972. When I came home from work from the Detroit Edison Company the afternoon of that fateful August day my mother tearfully told me my number. Twelve! Starting with number 1, eligible young men would be sent a letter ordering them to report to an appropriate location to be inducted into the Army. Letters would continue to be mailed until the draft quota had been reached (or up to number 125), but with a number as low as twelve I knew it was merely a matter of time until I received my notice. Indeed, I didn't have to wait long. Receiving the induction letter mid December I was ordered to report April 24, 1972, almost 2 years after graduating high school. Army. I underwent a physical, was recorded as 5' 9" height, 145 lbs, and completed a variety of testing. And in spite of the conventional wisdom of the inductees I heard that one would be better off by doing poorly so one wouldn't get messed around with by the Army, I tried my best on all tests. This would pay off later by my avoiding infantry school, a certain destination for most trainees as the Vietnam War was still raging. I also noticed that some guys were playing a rousing game of cards, the game of Euchre, which I had never heard before. I would soon learn the game and to love it, playing every duty station I was at. Upon return to civilian life I found my old gang has discovered it and many a weekend evening was devoted to playing the game. Probably late that afternoon a lot of us boarded a bus and travelled the 395 mile, seven and a half hour trip due south to Ft. Knox, Kentucky, to begin Basic Training. I was surprised to find myself in the company of someone I knew, Steven Sheridan, a classmater from St. Norbert's High School. BASIC TRAINING, April 24, 1972 July 9, 1972 Ft. Knox, Kentucky 4th Platoon, Company C, 17th Bn, 5th Tng Bde, US Army Armor Center. The bus taking our large group of young men arrived late at night at Ft. Knox. We exited the bus and entered a mess hall that seemed to have been opened in haste to accommodate the 40 or so hungry draftees. The menu consisted of little else but hot dogs and a drink. It was a cool Spring night, the heavy scent of pine trees perfumed the air, and we knew we has entered a whole new world. They found an empty barracks for us to bunk for the night. In the morning started the induction process including the infamous haircut. While I wasn't asked if I wanted to keep my sideburns (then cutting them off and handing them to me), I did lose every last bit of shaggy long hair my head could grow. We were given a uniform, field jacket, rain coat ("let's see, you look like you're a size small"), shoes, boots, gloves, cap, underwear, dress green uniforms, so much gear we could hardly carry it all. We got our pictures taken, our IDs were printed, our fingerprints taken, our bodies vaccinated, our teeth checked, our eyes examined, all to insure the Army was getting the best of America's youth. Training commenced May 22, 1972 and completed July 6, 1972. The 4th platoon was lead by SFC John D. Long, assisted by SGT Roger Hayse. Eight weeks of Basic Training would put me in the best physical shape of my life. The beginning of Spring in Kentucky saw frosty cold mornings, warming up to quite comfortable temperatures. Training consisted in classes in the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), Army Training Program 21 114 [ATP 21 114, (Apr 1970) covers the training program for male military personnel without prior service] 1, the Geneva Convention, Code of Conduct, "CBR (chemical, biological, and radiological); we endured a great deal of physical training. The most fun part to me being long hikes through the back country of a beautiful portion of hilly Kentucky. One uncomfortable training involved chemical warfare training. Our unit was lined up outside of a small cinder block building as we donned gas masks. A handful of troops would be sent inside to stand along the 4 walls and then, upon orders, remove their gas mask and experience first hand what must have been a room full of tear gas. After a brief few moments we were ushered out gasping and in pain, though we all survived. My favorite part of the training occurred close to graduation, where we were dropped off in the vast wilderness of Ft. Knox, and left on our own to travel a few miles through the woods to a pick up point. In the early evening, just a half hour or so before sunset, a number of companies riding in the beds of a number of trucks were unloaded and left to ourselves. We knew that we would be greeted by "the enemy," other soldiers playing the role to try to capture as many of us as possible to keep in confinement for the duration of the exercise, and no doubt causing a failure for that training exercise. Almost as quickly as all of us dropped off the bed of the trucks we came "under fire." I dove for the tall weeds in a deep culvert on the other side of the road and became as flat and hidden as I could. Darkness slowly crept upon us and I could hear the "enemy" walking around looking for those they could capture. After laying motionless for what seemed like 45 minutes but was really probably closer to 15, I slowly rose from my position when I could no longer hear activity. By this time twilight was ending and I hurried north into the woods heading in the direction I understood to be the gathering point and a successful mission. I met no one on the way, travelling alone in the dark with nothing to light my way but for an occasional full moon peaking through thick clouds. At one point I did hear some individuals and stopped, picked up a rock from the ground and hurled it to my right. I detected that when they heard the noise of its landing they must have scurried away, leaving a more clear path for me. After what seemed like a hour of walking I came upon a road lined with trucks, and NCOs and officers directing those appearing from the woods to an appropriate truck to be taken back to our units. Sitting in the back of the transport vehicle I felt a bit of pride to have made it out successfully without being captured. My family, or most of them, came down for my graduation from Basic Training the last week in May, 1972. Mom, Dad, the twins, Mike and Greg, Mark and Marylou drove down for the ceremonies, and returned home visiting Mammoth Cave on the way. On graduating from Basic Training I received my only 2 medals of my 2 year Army career, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Sharpshooter Medal for Rifle, M 16, for a score received of 69, on 16, June, 1972. I made some good friends while at Basic Training. Robert Austin from Metamora (north of Detroit), who I sat next to on the bus ride from Detroit to Ft. Knox, and I became companions, and was one who came to Ft. Bliss with me. Stephen Sheridan was a high school (St. Norbert's) classmate who was inducted at the same time. To give some small sense of what I was up to after graduating Basic Training, I'll publish a letter home that I started during an idle moment: I'm in the supply room waiting to go to the hospital for my fix [allergy injections] at 1:00. Two of us just finished sweeping this room. Big deal! I just hope they don't have any work for us to do. I'm writing this on my note pad. I'll rewrite it on paper tonight. told us "don't be surprised if we don't win the plaque this week" [for most orderly barracks]. The Captain might give it to one of the other 3 platoons, for morale purposes, 'cause we're the only platoon who's won it. No doubt we'll win for this week but we may not get the plaque. Honestly I kind of expected them to do that when we won the second time. That sounds like the Army. If we win it this week we'll break the record. Four weeks is the longest any one platoon has even held it. You know, it makes me a little proud when someone asks us what platoon we're in and we say "the forth." [sic] I hope I'm coming home this weekend. . . . [more letter] ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL TRAINING, July 9, 1972 March 25, 1973 Ft. Bliss, El Paso Texas 3rd Enlisted Student Battery, US Army Air Defense School, Ft Bliss, TX 79906, for training in MOS 24U20. [MOS = Military Occupational Specialty] Orders for my Advanced Individual Training showed that I was switched from going to Field Artillery School, Ft. Sill, OK, instead they asked me if I would accede to go to Ft. Bliss, Texas, for training as a Nike Hercules Electronics Mechanic, to which I agreed without hesitation. My flight arrived at the El Paso airport late at night, and I was taken to a temporary unit for the night. In the morning walked into the 3rd ESB where I would reside for the next 8 months. It was a 3 story brick barracks which included it's own mess hall; a step up from the 2 story wooden barrack of Ft. Knox. Here I would reside for the next 8 months.

Nike Free 4.0 Dark Grey Reflect Silver Total Orange Women CALGARY His purple reign washed over Calgary during the 2010 municipal election. Ever since, Mayor Naheed Nenshi has been seen as almost impossible to beat but that could be changing. On Tuesday, well known radio host Dave Rutherford confirmed that he is considering a run at the mayor's chair in the upcoming election. The 64 year old has been a fixture on Calgary's airwaves, covering politics for three decades. He admits that ever since announcing he's going off the air in July, he's been approached to run for mayor. Story continues below "I have been asked about it, and I have said to anybody else who wants to ask that I have not ruled anything out," he tells Global News. "I talk about keeping my options open, and my options are open." This isn't the first time someone in the media has taken a run at city hall. Former mayor and premier Ralph Klein started out as a TV reporter, and longtime news anchor Barb Higgins was a mayoral candidate in 2010. However, analysts say Nenshi will be tough to beat. "It is always difficult to defeat an incumbent mayor," says Duane Bratt, political analyst at MRU. "Nenshi appears to be very popular across the city, he is known nationwide." He adds that Rutherford does have a chance, though. "I think Dave Rutherford brings a lot into the race. He brings name recognition, a clear position on almost every issue. There is a group of well heeled Calgarians that would fund that campaign against Nenshi, and he would be able to bring in volunteers."
