| International Fund For Animal Welfare Help Build 100 Doghouses for Freezing Dogs by Christmas
IFAW is racing to build doghouses for 100 dogs that are set to spend the frigid Canadian winter outside. The urgent request came from a concerned resident of a Northern Canadian community in which IFAW provides free wellness clinics. In his words: "Help - I am trying to find money to build dog houses for the people who can’t even afford to feed their pets, let alone house them properly." The temperatures are already dipping below freezing, so we urgently need to buy the materials and build the doghouses. I'd hate to think that these dogs - some of them just puppies - will be exposed to the bitter cold and wind, shivering as they try to sleep on the ice and frozen snow. I know some of the puppies won't survive. Can you please help us build these doghouses to keep these dogs warm this winter? The doghouses we want to build for them will be made of thick wood to help insulate the dogs from the cold, they'll have flap doors to help reduce wind chill, and will have rubber floors to protect the dogs against the snow and ice and frozen ground. Your gift will help us purchase the materials to buy the doghouses and build them...it will help our Northern Dogs program continue to provide lifesaving care to the dogs in these disadvantaged communities...and it will be used immediately and where most needed to protect and care for animals like these dogs who need us so much. Each sturdy doghouse will cost about $100 to build in materials and building costs, and we are hoping to raise enough funds so that we will have the materials in place to build 100 doghouses by Christmas. Will you please help with a gift of $100? I know $100 is a lot to ask, but please know that your gift will do so much to help keep these dogs warm and safe from the harsh Canadian Winter, and it will also help us purchase blankets, medicine, and vaccines for these Northern Dogs and help rescue and care for animals in our other lifesaving projects. Of course, any amount you can spare will be greatly appreciated and will help animals more than you know. But please hurry. Snow is already on the ground and frigid temperatures are moving in. Many community members simply can't afford to build or buy their own doghouses. So they've turned to us for help.
Can you please help us give animals like these dogs a happy and warm Christmas by giving a gift today?
Thank you for caring, Fred O'Regan IFAW President p.s. This urgent request to help build doghouses in Northern Canada is part of IFAW's Holiday Gift program. In appreciation of your generous contribution of $40 or more, IFAW will send you a gift specially-made for IFAW supporters.

| Pete Townshend's long-awaited memoir Who He? Pete Townshend's long-awaited memoir Who He? is finally going to see the light of day. The Who guitarist has inked a deal with HarperCollins to release the book, which the publisher says will hit shelves in the fall of 2012. “In the 1970s, Pete Townshend famously asked the musical question ‘Who are you?’†Harper Collins executive editor David Hirshey said in a statement. “Now, in his autobiography, generations of fans will finally get the answer they’ve been waiting for.â€
Townshend began working on his autobiography in the mid-1990s. When he was cautioned by the British Police in 2003 for accessing child pornography on the Internet, Townshend explained that he was researching material for the book. "I have been writing my childhood autobiography for the past seven years," he said in a written statement. "I believe I was sexually abused between the age of five and six and a half when in the care of my maternal grandmother who was mentally ill at the time. I cannot remember clearly what happened, but my creative work tends to throw up nasty shadows - particularly in Tommy. Some of the things I have seen on the net have informed my book which I hope will be published later this year."
Random Notes: Hottest Rock Pics
There was no further word about the book at the time, but four years later Townshend began a blog with plans of posting segments of it online. "The backbone is complete, all the research is in place," Townshend wrote. "And yet, because my creative and professional life is still so active, I feel I will never catch up with the present unless I retire simply to write. To retire, simply to write, when I am already a writer, presents a contradiction. So rather than endlessly write, I am going to publish."
He published a fascinating account of the day that the Who previewed Tommy for critics in 1969 at a London jazz club, but soon afterwards he shut the site down with little explanation. In September of 2008 he wrote on his website that the book was "on ice." There's been little word on it since.
Rolling Stone Readers Pick the Top 10 Live Acts of All Time: The Who
The Who have been off the road since they toured Australia in 2009. Last year they played halftime at the Super Bowl, as well as staging Quadrophenia for charity at the Royal Albert Hall. Roger Daltrey expressed interest in bringing that show - as well as Tommy - on a world tour this year. A few weeks ago, the Who frontman announced an extensive solo tour where he'll play Tommy straight though. What exactly that means for the future of the Who remains unclear. One year ago, Townshend expressed a reluctance to return to the road. "I’m tired of touring at the moment, and I’m writing," he said. "So there are no plans right now." In that same interview, a fan asked Townshend about touring Tommy in 2019 to celebrate the album's 50th anniversary. "If we wait until 2019 one thing I can assure you: I will not be on stage," he wrote. "I will either be composing or decomposing."
