Juan Flores (c. 1834-February 14, 1857) was a 19th century Mexican bandit who, with Pancho Daniel, led an outlaw gang throughout southern California during the 1850s. Although regarded by historians as a thief and outlaw, Flores was considered among Mexican-Americans as a folk hero akin to Jesse James who was thought of as a defender against vigilante movements in the years following the American settlement of California and its incorporation into the United States. However, the activities of Flores and other insurrectos such as Tiburcio Vasquez, Pio Lenares and Joaquin Murrieta against American and foreign-born settlers not only created long-lasting suspicion and hostility towards Mexican-Americans but also divided the traditional Spanish class structures of the Californistos and the poorer peasants as well. ^[1]

Flores Peak, part of Santiago Canyon located in Orange County, was named after the outlaw leader to commemorate the capture of much of the Flores gang ^[2] although Flores himself escaped. ^{[3] [4]}

[edit] Early life

Although born to a prominent family, Flores was first arrested in 1855 for horse stealing and imprisoned in San Quentin. However, he soon escaped in October the following year (although other sources claim he served his prison term ^[5]) and joined forces with Pancho Daniel and a dozen or so ranch hands, miners and other Angelinos such as Anastasio Garcia, Espinoza, Andres Fontes, Chino Varelas, Faustino Garcia, Juan Cartabo and "One-eyed" Piguinino among others. During the next two years, Flores and his "los Manilas" gained a following among the Mexican-American population in the San Luis Obispo and San Juan Capistrano-areas with his numbers growing to over fifty men. One of the largest gangs in the state, Flores terrorized the area for the next two years primarily stealing horses and cattle but also committing armed robbery, murder and conducting raids against towns and homesteads in the area. Due in part to attention by newspapers, opposition to what became known as the "Flores Revolution" began to take form by public officials and law enforcement as well as upper-class Californistos such as Andres Pico, Juan Sepulveda and Tomas Sanchez all of whom later participated in the capture of Flores. ^[6]

[edit] Raid on San Juan Capistrano

In late-December 1856 or early-January 1857, Flores attempted to pursue and rob a wagon traveling from Los Angeles to San Juan Capistrano. Missing the wagon somewhere on the road, Flores instead led a group of outlaws on a raid against San Juan Capistrano looting the shop of a local Russian-Polish merchant Michael Krazewski. Wounding a store assistant, they carried nearly all the goods in the store on two horses promising to return to the town. The next day, Flores made another raid on the town in which German shopkeeper George Pflugardt was murdered and several stores were looted. ^{[7] [8]} They had been after an informant who had previously testified against him for horse stealing years earlier and, when the man was able to escape before their arrival, they proceeded to loot the town and spent the night "in drunken revelry" until leaving sometime around 2:00 am. When authorities in Los Angeles were alerted of the incident, they dispatched Sheriff James R. Barton and a posse of six well-armed men and set out to apprehend Flores.

[edit] Death

Later that month, Flores was visiting a female companion "Chola" Martina Burruel in the Burruel Adobe outside San Juan Capistrano. During his stay, Sheriff Barton was killed along with police constables William H. Little and Charles R. Baker while traveling down the road to San Juan Capistrano. Only 12 miles south of San Joaquin Ranch, Barton and his posse were on their way to apprehend Flores for George Pflugardt's murder before being ambushed at Barranco de los Alisos and killed by Flores and members of his gang. The surviving members of Barton's posse who managed to escape the massacre made their way back to Los Angeles. ^[9]

Barton's death caused a backlash against outlaw violence in the region as members of Flores' gang were hunted down and captured by authorities, a large group of them being apprehended by Andres Pico and Tomas Snachez at Sierra de Santiago although Flores himself managed to escape. Numbers ranging from fifty to seventy Mexican-Americans were arrested on having connections with Flores ^[10] and between February 1857 and November 1858, eleven others suspected of being members of the Flores gang were lynched. According to historian John Boessenecker, only four of these men were confirmed as members of the gang.

After eleven days on the run, Flores and Pancho Daniel were brought in by a 120-man posse led by Andres Pico and included American merchants, Californio ranchers, Native American scouts and members of the Texan vigilante gang the "El Monte Boys". With "practically every man, woman and child present in the pueblo" numbering an estimated 3,000 people, Flores was tried for murder and hanged near the top of Fort Hill in what would later be present-day downtown Los Angeles on February 14, 1857; ^{[11] [12]} Pancho Daniel would later be hanged on November 30, 1858. Adressing the crowd from the scaffold, he stated "he bore no malice, was dying justly, and that he hoped that those he had wronged would forgive him". When his execution was carried out, his noose being too short, Flores instead died from suffocation instead of having his neck broken as intended. ^[13]

The last surviving member of the Juan Flores gang, Andres Fontes, was believed to have instigated the events leading to the shooting death of Barton and his party due to a personal disagreement with Sheriff Barton. Fontes was reportedly killed in Lower California by either F.R. Esparza or Solomon Pico. ^[14]

Jacuzzi 2.0 is an electronic/new wave duo from Livonia, MI. The duo is made up of Alex Haber and Shawn Martin. Their sound is a mix of synthesizer heavy bass lines, guitar-driven rhythms and solos, and more recently, they have started to incorporate elements of chiptune in their music as well. Although they have described themselves as "post-apocalytpic dance", they are known for the genre-hopping stylings, which lends itself to them being hard to put into a specific genre of music. Earlier recordings and releases lend themselves more toward a folk-rock sound, however, after acquiring a Moog Prodigy Synthesizer, FL Studio software, and a Korg Electribe R drum machine, the duo started to write and record more electronic sounding songs, and has continued to do so presently.

[edit] Band History

Haber and Martin met in the 5th grade at a Livonia local elementary school and became fast friends. They attended the same middle and high schools together as well up until they graduated in 2005.

During their sophomore year in 2003, Haber started to play guitar, and Martin soon followed suit. While hanging out, the pair started to write songs and record them using ACID Pro recording software. With both on just acoustic guitar's the duo recorded a series of folk sounding songs that would later be released on their first album This Is So Fun!. Throughout their remainder of high school, the duo wrote and recorded another full length album Ice Cream Social and the e.p.'s Mother-Son Haircut and Company Potluck.

The duo became recognized quickly due to word-of-mouth, and the fact that the songs they wrote were mostly about their fellow high school peers and friends. The duo played their first show on April 15th, 2005 with the support of their friends Andy Gabrysiak and Damon Trestain who played back up synthesizers, drum machines, and tambourines.

Throughout 2005 and early 2006 they played shows as a 4-piece with Gabrysiak and Trestain, but in March of 2006, Gabrysiak and Trestain decided to pursue other musical ventures. And thus Martin and Haber added the "2.0" onto the already existing "Jacuzzi" which was their original name at the bands inception and thus, the duo was born.

[edit] Version 2.0 to Present Day

Since becoming a two-piece, Haber and Martin have continued to play shows and have recorded another full in length in 2006 titled Modern Day Pirates and more recently, an e.p. titled Memories of Gooch. They have also had songs featured on Suburban Sprawl Music's holiday compilation CD's in 2006 and 2007 in which they covered Tom Petty and The Heartbreaker's "Christmas All Over Again".

The band has shared the stage with notable acts such as Child Bite, Charlie Slick, and many others.

The duo is currently in the process of writing and recording their next e.p. WASPXTEP which is set for release at the end of March, 2008, and will be released under Siamese! Records.

[edit] Live Performance and Instrumentation

The duo perform live as a two piece with the aid of Martin's laptop computer running itunes in which they play and sing over pre-recorded drum beats and backing synthesizers. Martin sings most of the lead vocals and plays rhythm guitar with Haber contributing back up vocals and lead guitar. They also use microKORG and Moog Prodigy synthesizers live as well. They have never played a single show with a live music drummer.

Shawn Martin: (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, synthesizers, programming)

Julia Yerkov is a Serbian born sculptor, painter, and marionetteer. Born in 1964 in former Yugoslavia in Kula, Vojvodina, she moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands in 1986 and pursued acting, sculpture, and puppeteering. During the next fifteen years she performed while traveling through North America and the European continent. In 1991 she moved her permanent residence to New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States. In 1996, she started her own fabrication company called "House of Juju." Through the company she sells artwork of mixed media, including sculpture of foam and steel, paintings, and custom-designed furniture. Yerkov was displaced by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, moving to Michigan with her husband and fellow New Orleans artist Steve Kline, with whom she has one daughter. During this time she experienced a lack of tools and equipment, and while unable to create art under her usual terms, discovered a love for painting.

Yerkov has also acted in a hard-to-find short film, "The Ticket," as well as in theatre and commercials. She maintains friendly and business relationships in New Orleans.

Calf Pasture Beach is an historically significant park and beach in East Norwalk, Connecticut along Long Island Sound.

The area of the park lands (including adjacent Shady Beach and Taylor Farm Park) is approximately 35 acres. Access is by road or public transport: East Avenue intersects I 95 at exit 16 and travels past the East Norwalk (Metro-North station) and the East Norwalk Cemetery down Gregory Boulevard, past the Roger Ludlowe memorial at the rotary to Calf Pasture Beach Road. ^{[1] [2]} Bus service directly to the park entrance is provided by the Norwalk Transit District.

[edit] History

The area now known as Calf Pasture was used by Connecticut colony settlers in the 1600s as grazing land for cows.^[3]

The beach was used for disembarkation and encampment during the Tryon raid of the American Revolutionary War in 1779. After having conducted retribution raids at New Haven and Fairfield William Tryon led 2,600 British troops by boat to Norwalk at approximately 5:00 p.m. on July 10, 1779. They landed near the Round Beach island at the Calf Pasture peninsula where they spent the night. The next day they set off on the burning of Norwalk that left only 6 houses standing after the raid.^[4]

In 1917 the Norwalk City legislature authorized the city to aquire and create a park at Calf Pasture Beach. Property condemnation to aquire the land was started in 1919. In 1922 the descendents of the Betts, Marvin, and Taylor families who owned much of the adjoining property donated their lands to the city. The park opened formally in 1924 while work on buildings and nearby roads was still underway.^[5]

Some additional buildings and sidewalks were constructed at Calf Pasture in 1935 with funding provided by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration.^[6] Buildings and sidewalks at Calf Pasture were washed away during the hurricane of September 1938. The buildings were replaced by Works Progress Administration workers. ^[7]

Shady Beach was aquired in the 1960s.^[8]

All of the park facilities (Calf Pasture, Shady Beach, and Taylor Farm) are still owned and maintained by the City of Norwalk.

[edit] Facilities

The Calf Pasture Beach area has a large guarded beach, a fishing pier, a shaded playground, volleyball courts, a skateboard park, baseball diamonds, accessible restrooms, and a restaurant maintained by Stew Leonard's.^[2] Adjacent Shady Beach offers shaded picnic tables, grills, and addtional rest room facilities. Adjacent to Shady Beach is Taylor Farm Park which has a tidal pool and areas for dogwalking. Taylor Farm Park is the site of an annual Greenwich Kennel club dog show.^[9]

Sailboats and kayaks can be rented within the Park at the Norwalk Sailing School which also offers a small craft safety training program.^[10] Calf Pasture Beach is a major landmark along the Norwalk Islands Canoe/Kayak Trail.^[11]

Boater safety courses are offered at the Dominick Lametta training center at U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla 72 at Calf Pasture. ^[12]

Sir Abdullah Charles Edward Archibald Watkin Hamilton, 5th Baronet of Trebishun, Breconshire and 3rd Baronet of Marlborough House, Hampshire (December 10, 1876 - March 18, 1939) ^[1]was a distinguished British statesman of noble lineage, Lieutenant in the Royal Defence Corps, the President of the Selsey (Sussex) Conservative Association and convert to Islam.^[2][3][4]

He was the son of Sir Edward Archibald Hamilton, 4th Baronet of Trebishun, Breconshire and 2nd Baronet of Marlborough House, Hampshire (1843–1915) and his wife Mary Elizabeth Gill.^[5] He gained both baronetcies upon the death of his father in 1915.^[6][7] He was also a descendant of William Hamilton, one of the five Kentish Petitioners of 1701^{[8] [9][10]}, great-grandson of Admiral Sir Edward Joseph Hamilton, 1st Baronet Hamilton of Marlborough House,^[11] direct descendant of the Duke of Abercorn and also Lord Hamilton who married Princess Mary Stewart of Scotland, daughter of James II of Scotland.^[12]

[edit] Marriages and Children

[edit] Olga Mary Adelaide FitzGeorge

Sir Archibald married Olga Mary Adelaid FitzGeorge, daughter of Rear-Admiral Sir Adolphus FitzGeorge KCVO and Sophia Jane Holden, granddaughter of the Duke of Cambridge and first cousin to Queen Victoria on December 18, 1897 in London, England.^[13] The marriage resulted in two children, George Edward Archibald Augustus FitzGeorge-Hamilton (December 30, 1898 - May 18, 1918) whose baptism was attended by Queen Mary and King George V who along with the Duke of Cambridge were pledged to be his godparents.^[14]. He went on to become a First Lieutenant in the Royal Army and died in battle.^[15] They had one unnamed daughter (b. May 5, 1902 - d. May 5, 1902). He and Olga Mary Adelaide FitzGeorge divorced in 1902.^[16]

[edit] Algorta Marjory Blanche Child

Algorta Marjory Blanch Childe, the daughter of George Child and Sir Archibald were married in November 1906 and divorced in 1908. She was found guilty of jewelry theft and was sentenced to six months in Holloway Prison.^[17][18]

[edit] Lilian Maud Austen

Sir Archibald and the daughter of William Austen, Lilian Maud Austen (b. before 1912 - d. 1964) were married in 1927. Lady Mariam Hamilton also converted to Islam and outlived him.^[19]

[edit] Conversion to Islam

Sir Archibald embraced Islam in 1924.^[20]

Since arriving at an age of discretion, the beauty and the simple purity of Islam have always appealed to me. I could never, though born and brought up as a Christian, believe in the dogmatic aspect of the Church, and have always placed reason and commonsense above blind faith. As the time progressed, I wished to be at peace with my Creator, and I found that both the Church of Rome and the Church of England were of no real use to me. In becoming a Muslim I have merely obeyed the dictates of my conscience, and have since felt a better and a truer man. There is no religion that is so maligned by the ignorant and the biased as is Islam; yet if people only knew, it is the religion of strong for the weak, the rich for the poor. Humanity is divided into three classes. First, those on whom God has, out of His bounty, bestowed possessions and wealth; secondly, those who have to work to earn their living; and lastly, the great army of the unemployed, or those who have fallen by the wayside through no fault of their own.

[edit] Death

Sir Abdullah Archibald Hamilton died on the morning of March 18, 1939 at the age of 62. He is buried at the Brookwood Muslim Cemetery alongside his good friend, al-Hajj Shaikh Rahmatullah Headley al-Farooq, the Rowland Allanson-Winn, 5th Baron Headley.^[22]

[edit] Plot

Two young women arrive in a nameless British small-town. Their names are not their own. They don’t declare their ages. Their relationship with each other is not clear. Are they sisters, as their assumed identities declare? Or are they mother and daughter? The eldest, Claire, takes a job in a pub. The youngest, Eleanor, goes to school. During a truth exercise in her drama class, Eleanor confesses that she has been alive for over two hundred yeas and has survived by drinking human blood. Her classmates think she is utterly crazy and Mint, her teacher, puts her in touch with the school counsellor. She makes one friend, Frank, a boy who has been home educated and is as much of an oddity as Eleanor. He tries to get to the bottom of her vampire delusion, thinking it an epic and compelling psychosis. Why would anyone want to be undead? Frank's parents believe that Ella is an anorexic - why does she never eat? Eleanor has started to write her life story as a play. She describes Claire’s background as a prostitute in 19th century London and her own as a child in a private orphanage. Meanwhile, things are falling apart. People are disappearing. Are Eleanor and Claire vampires? Or are they troubled young women on the run?

[edit] William Benitez, and The Origins of the Narconon® Program

On August 2, 1965, William Benitez, an inmate at Arizona State Prison jumped down from his double bunk in the old cellblock where he was housed and made the following notation on his wall calendar: “Decision to set up Narcotic Foundation.” He also circled the 18th of the same month, his target date to approach prison officials to request permission to set up a drug rehabilitation program inside the prison walls.

Officials denied permission for the following six months. Mr. Benitez’s request to start a program consisting of twenty convicted drug addicts caused concern to officials who feared such a program might pose a security problem (such programs were rare in prisons during that decade). Officials had little reason to believe that the request of a habitual drug addict and repeatedly convicted felon would result in one of the nation’s most successful rehabilitation programs for substance abusers.

Mr. Benitez persisted and finally assured officials the program was needed and would not pose a threat to the safe and orderly operation of the prison. After being allowed to start the program on a trial basis, he founded the NARCONON program (NARCOtics-NONe) on February 19, 1966.

Until he died from a sudden illness in 1999, Mr. Benitez was a Hearing Officer with the Arizona Department of Corrections, the same system which once kept him under lock and key. Below, he tells his own story:

   "I started smoking pot in 1947, when I was thirteen. Then I went on to injecting opium and other drugs when I was about fifteen. I started to get into trouble and was arrested for various crimes, so I decided to join the Marines to see if I could get away from drugs. Instead, I ended up getting arrested on drug charges during the Korean conflict, received a military court martial and was discharged as undesirable.

   In the following years, I kept trying to stay away from drugs. Sometimes I could stay clean for a short while, then I would go right back on the needle again. I carried the monkey for about eighteen years, and it cost me thirteen calendar years of being locked up. In addition to doing time in the Marines, I did a Federal prison term and also was convicted three times in Arizona state courts.

   On my last trip to prison, I pled guilty on December 22, 1964 to possession of narcotics. Because I was being sentenced as a habitual offender, the sentence called for a mandatory fifteen years, and up to life. I remember speaking to one court official and telling him how I was still going to leave drugs alone and maybe even start a drug program. I remember his words so well: “The best thing to do with guys like you, after the first time, is take you behind a building and do you and everyone else a favor and put you out of your misery.”

My attorney arranged for me to go before the judge just before Christmas, feeling that the spirit of the holiday might be in my favor. It may have worked. I made my plea to the judge telling him of all the attempts I had made over the years to stop using drugs, such as joining the Marines, committing myself to hospitals for psychiatric care and therapy on several occasions, isolating myself in mining towns in a personal attempt to kick the habit, and even how two marriages had not helped me straighten up. I told him that in spite of all those failures, I was still going to make it and was going to find a solution to my problem, that I had not yet quit. He must have believed there was still a spark of hope for me. He sentenced me to the mandatory fifteen years, but instead of running it to life, he made the term fifteen to sixteen years.

After arriving at prison, a friend of mine gave me some reading material to keep me occupied while I was in the Orientation Cellblock pending transfer to general population. Among the material was an old, tattered book, Fundamentals of Thought, by L. Ron Hubbard. I had heard of his writings when I previously served a ten-year sentence at Arizona State Prison, but had never read them. I had always been an avid reader of books dealing with human behavior. Yet, this small book impressed me more than anything else I had ever read before. I read it over and over and then purchased additional books by Mr. Hubbard and studied them very carefully during the following year, even into the late hours of the night in my cell.

The material identified human abilities and their development. I was amazed I had never run across such workability within a multitude of other works I had studied over the years. I’m not a gullible person when it comes to accepting new or different approaches or ideas. If they work, fine. Otherwise, throw them out the window. They either work or they don’t. I was tired of experimenting with so many ideas and philosophies, many having credence only because some 'authority' had written them.

What impressed me the most about [Hubbard’s] L. Ron Hubbard materials was that they concentrated not only on identifying abilities, but also on methods (practical exercises) by which to develop them. I realized that drug addiction was nothing more than a “disability,” resulting when a person ceases to use abilities essential to constructive survival.

I found that if a person rehabilitated and applied certain abilities, that person could persevere toward goals set, confront life, isolate problems and resolve them, communicate with life, be responsible and set ethical standards, and function within the band of certainty. I finally realized I had developed the essential abilities needed to overcome my drug problem. Feeling myself on safe ground, I knew I had to make this technology available to other addicts in the prison. I thought back over the years of all the junkies I had shot up with, and remembered their most treasured conversation, “One of these days I’m going to quit.” I had found the means and was going to share it with them. That’s when I made the decision real by writing it down on my calendar page in my cell.

So effective was the technology I had learned, that I experienced a freedom long lost to me. The tall prison walls became only temporary barriers. I realized that my 6x8 foot cell was all that I needed as a command post. Even back then, I knew Narconon would reach international proportions, and even wrote an article on it in 1967, 'The Purpose of Narconon.'

The program was sanctioned by the warden, and it soon began to expand from its original twenty members. I then started to get requests from non-addict inmates who wanted to get into Narconon. They told me they were impressed with what Narconon students had told them about the program and what the technology taught. I approached the Administration for permission to include non-addicts. At first it resisted, saying that non-addict members didn’t need the services of Narconon, and that they might disrupt the program.

I demonstrated to officials that any person, inmate or otherwise, could benefit from Narconon because its attention was on increasing abilities, that we had an ethics mechanism built into the program, and that the responsibility and involvement required of a member would soon dissuade anyone not serious about improvement. I convinced the prison officials. The program met its expectations so well that seven months after the beginning of Narconon, I was asked to start another program for young offenders housed in the annex outside the prison walls.

I then wrote to Mr. Hubbard about Narconon. He and his organizations supported our program by donating books, tapes and course materials. We received hundreds of letters from throughout the world validating our efforts to make drug addiction and criminal or illegal behavior a thing of the past in our lives."

[edit] Case Overturned

Shortly after founding the Narconon program, William Benitez researched his court conviction and discovered he had been tried under the wrong statute and was sentenced in excess of that prescribed by law. Upon return to court, Mr. Benitez was advised that he could conceivably be re-sentenced to time served and be released based on his eighteen months already served because of the miscarriage of justice.

The Narconon program was only a few months old at that time and Mr. Benitez believed the program would collapse if he didn’t return to complete it. Rather than petitioning for his immediate release, he requested a smaller sentence which would allow him to fully implement Narconon program development. The Court re-sentenced him to four to six years, leaving him sixteen months to serve. Mr. Benitez returned to prison and developed the program to its full capacity. As he states, “It was the best, but toughest decision I ever made in my life. I would have loved to walk away from that court a free man.”

The Narconon program subsequently came to the attention of the public when reporters from the Arizona Daily Star secured permission from the warden to interview the inmate who requested to be returned to the walls. The Star printed a two-part series on the Narconon program in August 1966. TV Channel 10 News from Phoenix also took its cameras to the prison to interview Mr. Benitez and members of the Narconon program and to observe its functions.

[edit] After Jail

Mr. Benitez completed his prison term and was released in October 1967. He moved to California to expand the Narconon organization and to make it available to persons in need. Mr. Hubbard and his organizations supported the effort, resulting in worldwide expansion.

Years later, Mr. Benitez returned to Arizona and was hired as Inmate Liaison by former Arizona Department of Corrections Director, Ellis McDougall, in 1981. Until his death in 1999, he served as a Hearing Officer on inmate complaints for the Corrections Director at Central Headquarters.
