'Blut und Boden' refers to an ideology that focuses on ethnicity based on two factors, descent blood (of a Volk) and the land.
It celebrates the relationship of a people to the land they occupy and cultivate, and it places the highest value on the virtues of rural living.
The German expression was coined in the late 19th century, in tracts espousing racialism and nationalist romanticism.
It produced a regionalist literature, with some social criticism.
|Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl
|Ernst Moritz Arndt
Major figures in 19th-century German agrarian romanticism included Ernst Moritz Arndt and Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl, who argued that the peasantry represented the foundation of the German people and conservatism.
Ultranationalists predating the National Socialism often supported rural living as more healthy, with the 'Artaman League' sending urban children to the countryside to work in part in hopes of transforming them into 'Wehrbauern' (warrior farmers).

Die Artamanen-Gesellschaft
Lebensreform' movement in late 19th-century and early 20th-century Germany.
The 'Lebenreform' movement encompassed hundreds of groups throughout Germany that were involved in various experiments tied to ecology, health, fitness, vegetarianism, and naturism (Nacktkultur). Publications by right wing Lebensreformists, which sold in the tens of thousands, argued that their practices were "the means by which the German race would regenerate itself and ultimately prevail over its neighbors and the diabolical Jews who were intent on injecting putrefying agents into the nation's blood and soil". The society itself was not formed until 1923, even though Willibald's ideas were somewhat older. The Artamans were part of the 'German Youth Movement', representing its more right-wing back-to-the-land elements. Under the leadership of Georg Kenstler they advocated 'blood and soil' policies, with a strong undercurrent of Anti-Slavism. This völkisch movement believed that the decline of the Aryan race could only be halted by encouraging people to abandon city life in favor of settling in the rural areas in the east. Whilst members wished to perform agricultural labor as an alternative to military service, they also saw it as part of their duty to oppose Slavs and to remove them Germany.
The concepts were combined in the figure of the 'Wehrbauer', or soldier-peasant. As such the League sent German youth to work on the land in Saxony and East Prussia in an attempt to prevent these areas being settled by Poles. To this end 2000 settlers were sent to Saxony in 1924 to both work on farms and serve as an anti-Slav militia. They also gave classes on importance of racial purity and the Nordic race, and the corrupting influence of city living and Jews. Like many similar right-wing youth movements in Germany the Artaman League lost impetus with the growth of the NSDAP. By 1927, 80% of its membership had become National Socialists. As such the League had disappeared by the early 1930s, with most of its membership having switched to the NSDAP. As the situation deteriorated in the late 1920s, some of the Artamans were drawn deeper into politics, opposing liberals, democrats, Free-Masons and Jews. Eventually many members of the Artaman League turned to National Socialism.

Richard Walther Darré (see above) popularized the phrase 'Blut und Boden', writing a book called 'Neuadel aus Blut und Boden' (A New Nobility Based On Blood And Soil) in 1930, which proposed a systemic eugenics program, arguing for breeding as a cure for the many problems plaguing the state.
Darré was an influential member of the NSDAP, and a noted race theorist who assisted the party greatly in gaining support among common Germans outside the cities.
Richard Walther Darré
Richard Walther Darré (14 July 1895 – 5 September 1953), was a leading"blood and soil" ideologists, and served as 'Reichsminister für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft' from 1933 to 1942. He was an SS-Obergruppenführer and the seventh most senior officer of the SS. In 1945 Darré was the senior most SS-Obergruppenführer, with date of rank from 9 November 1934, outranked only by Heinrich Himmler and the four SS-Oberst-Gruppenführer. Darré was born in Belgrano, a Buenos Aires neighborhood, in Argentina to Richard Oscar Darré, a German with Huguenot ancestry, (born 10 March 1854, Berlin; died 20 February 1929, Wiesbaden) and the half-Swedish/half-German Emilia Berta Eleonore, née Lagergren (born 23 July 1872, Buenos Aires; died 20 July 1936, Bad Pyrmont). His father moved to Argentina in 1888 as a partner of the German international import/export wholesaler Engelbert Hardt & Co. The family lived prosperously, and educated their children privately until they were forced to return to Germany as a result of worsening international relations in the years preceding World War I. Darré gained fluency in four languages: Spanish, German, English, and French. Darré's parents sent him to Germany at age nine to attend school in Heidelberg; in 1911 he attended as an exchange pupil King's College School in Wimbledon. The rest of the family returned to Germany in 1912. Richard (as he was known in the family) then spent two years at the Oberrealschule in Gummersbach, followed in early 1914 by the Kolonialschule for resettlement in the German colonies at Witzenhausen, south of Göttingen, which awakened his interest in farming. After a single term at Witzenhausen, he volunteered for army service. He was lightly wounded a number of times while serving during World War I, but fared better than most of his contemporaries. When the war ended he returned to Witzenhausen to continue his studies. He then obtained unpaid work as a farm assistant in Pomerania: his observation of the treatment of returning German soldiers there influenced his later writings. In 1922 he moved to the University of Halle to continue his studies: here he took an agricultural degree, specializing in animal breeding. He did not complete his PhD studies until 1929, at the comparatively mature age of 34. During these years he spent some time working in East Prussia and Finland. He married twice. In 1922 he married Alma Staadt, a schoolfriend of his sister Ilse. He divorced Alma in 1927, and subsequently married Charlotte Freiin von Vittinghoff-Schell, who survived him. The first marriage produced two daughters. As a young man in Germany, Darré initially joined the Artaman League. In this organisation he began to develop the idea of the linkage between the future of the Nordic race and the soil: the tendency which became known as "Blut und Boden". The essence of the theory involved the mutual and long-term relationship between a people and the land that it occupies and cultivates. Darré's first political article (1926) discussed Internal Colonization, and argued against Germany attempting to regain the lost colonies in Africa. Most of his writing at this time, however, concentrated on technical aspects of animal breeding. He wrote his first book, 'Das Bauerntum als Lebensquell der nordischen Rasse' ('Peasantry as the life-source of the Nordic Race'), in 1928. It asserted that German farms had previously been bestowed on one son, the strongest, ensuring the best were farmers, but partible inheritance had destroyed that. Darré demanded the restoration of the ancient tradition, as well as serious efforts to restore the purity of Nordic blood, including exterminating the sick and impure. Darré's writing is an early example of 'Green' or 'Conservationist' thinking: he advocated more natural methods of land management, placing emphasis on the conservation of forests, and demanded more open-space and air in the raising of farm animals. Those who heard and heeded Darré's arguments included Heinrich Himmler, himself one of the Artamans. Darré's work also glorified "peasant virtues" – as found in the remnants of the Nordics who lived in the country – and disparaged city living. In his two major works, he defined the German peasantry as a homogeneous racial group of Nordic antecedents, who formed the cultural and racial core of the German nation. Since the Nordic birth-rate was lower than that of other races, the Nordic race was under a long-term threat of extinction.
In July 1930, after Paul Schultze-Naumburg had introduced him to Adolf Hitler, Darré joined the NSDAP and the SS. Darré's NSDAP number was 248,256 and his SS number was 6,882. Darré went on to become an active Reichsleiter, and to set up an agrarian political apparatus to recruit farmers into the party. Darré saw three main roles for this apparatus: to exploit unrest in the countryside as a weapon against the urban government; to win over the peasants as staunch National Socialist supporters; to gain a constituency of people who could be used as settlers to displace the Slavs in future conquests in the East. The German historian Klaus Hildebrand described Darré together with Himmler and Alfred Rosenberg as one of the leaders of the "agrarian" fraction within the NSDAP who championed 'anti-industrial' and 'anti-urban' "blood and soil" ideology, expansion into Eastern Europe to win 'Lebensraum', an alliance with Great Britain to defeat the Soviet Union, and staunch opposition to restoring the pre-1914 German colonial empire. The "agrarian" fraction took the view that Wilhelmine imperialism had taken Germany in the wrong direction, by colonizing lands that were unsuitable for mass colonization by German settlers, and had unwisely antagonized Britain. The lesson that the völkisch "agrarians" drew from the Second Reich was that Germany must restrict its ambitions to the continent of Europe in order to win an alliance with Britain, and land suitable for German colonization.
Paul Schultze-Naumburg
Odal Rune - RuSHA Emblem
On 1 January 1932, Reichsführer-SS Himmler appointed Darré chief of the newly established SS Rasse und Siedlungshauptamt or RuSHA). Darré was given the rank of SS-Gruppenführer. The RuSHA was a department which implemented racial policies and was concerned with the racial integrity of the members of the SS.
|German National People's Party
During the 1932 presidential election, Darré engaged in a campaign against Theodor Duesterberg, the candidate of the conservative German National People's Party, who it emerged during the campaign was the grandson of a Jewish convert to Lutheranism. Duesterberg took up his dispute with Darré before the court of honor of the Former Officers of the 1st Hanoverian Field Artillery Regiment of Scharnhorst, number 10 to which Darré belonged to. The court of honor ruled in Darré's favor. In his religious views, Dárre would belong to the 'Pagan' faction within the Nazi movement, however, unlike Heinrich Himmler and Alfred Rosenberg, he has not become a figure of interest in the speculation about Nazi occultism. Darré's works were primarily concerned with the ancient and present Nordic peasantry (the ideology of 'Blood and Soil'): within this context, he made an explicit attack against Christianity. In his two main works ('Das Bauerntum als Lebensquell der Nordischen Rasse', Munich, 1927 and 'Neuadel aus Blut und Boden', Munich, 1930), Darré accused Christianity, with its "teaching of the equality of men before God," of having "deprived the Teutonic nobility of its moral foundations", the "innate sense of superiority over the nomadic tribes". In June 1933, he became Reichsminister für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft, succeeding DNVP leader Alfred Hugenberg, who had resigned. He was also named Reichsbauernführer (usually translated as Reich Peasant Leader, though the word Bauer also denotes Farmer). Darré was instrumental in founding the Reichsnährstand as part of the Gleichschaltung process. Darré campaigned for big landowners to part with some of their land to create new farms, and promoted the controversial Reichserbhofgesetz. He also converted most of the country's small farms into hereditary estates that were to be passed from father to son under the ancient laws of entailment.
He developed a plan for "Rasse und Raum" ("race and space", or territory) which provided the ideological background for the National Socialist expansive policy on behalf of the "Drang nach Osten" ("Drive to the east") and of the "Lebensraum" ("Living space") theory expounded in Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'. Darré strongly influenced Himmler in his goal to create a German racial aristocracy based on selective breeding. In the course of the preparations for the Generalplan Ost, Himmler would later break with Darré, whom he saw as too theoretical. By September 1938, Himmler was already demanding that Darré step down as leader of the RuSHA in favour of Günther Pancke. Darré finally had to resign as Reich Minister in 1942, ostensibly on health grounds, and was succeeded by his state secretary Herbert Backe.
Günther Pancke
Prior to their ascension to power, National Socialists called for a return from the cities to the countryside.
This agrarian sentiment allowed opposition to both the middle class and the aristocracy, and presented the farmer as a superior figure beside the 'moral swamp' of the city.
This agrarian sentiment allowed opposition to both the middle class and the aristocracy, and presented the farmer as a superior figure beside the 'moral swamp' of the city.
The doctrine not only called for a "back to the land" approach, and re-adoption of rural values; it held that German land was bound mystically, to German blood.
Peasants were seen as völkisch cultural heroes, who held charge of German racial stock and German history - as when a memorial of a medieval peasant uprising was the occasion for a speech by Darré praising them as force and purifier of German history.
This would also lead them to understand the natural order better, and in the end, only the man who worked the land really possessed it.
Urban culture was decried as a weakness, "asphalt culture", that only the Führer's will could eliminate - sometimes as a code for Jewish influence.
Bückeberg Reichserntedankfest
The Reichsnährstand organized lectures, films and exhibitions, in order to instruct the German farmers with regard to the völkisch concept of 'blood and soil'.
It also organized spectacular events, such as the 'Reichserntedankfest', which was held on the Bückeberg, close to the city of Hamelin.
These celebrations took place between 1933 to 1937, when more than a million people gathered in order to celebrate the harvest festival, and listen to speech delivered by Adolf Hitler.
To manage this number of participants a special arena, the 'Reichsthingplatz' (feldplatz), designed by Albert Speer, was built.
The site was intended to be one of the symbolically most important in the Third Reich.
Goslar Reichsbauerntag
In addition to the Reichserntedankfest there was also a Reichsbauerntag held in Goslar.
By receiving the designation 'Reich Bauernstadt', the old imperial city of Goslar became the center of agriculture, and agricultural self-administration.
The Reichsbauerntag showed that the 'Reich Bauernstadt' had established a good tradition, which came to expression in the strong participation of the population in the work of the Reichsnährstand.
For the first time, the concept of Reich Bauernstadt, Goslar, as the center of 'Nordic-German' farming, of the state idea of 'blood and soil', reached far beyond the Reich borders, drawing the attention of many states and peoples throughout the world.
The Reichsbauerntag was thus not only a German gathering in a narrow sense, but rather its form and spiritual aims it was an event of international significance.
There were two primary themes that marked the Reich Farmers' Rally in 1936:
In his opening remarks at the Goslar City Hall, Darré gave the assembled leadership corps the inspiring command: 'Agriculture to the front'.

|Walther Darré - Goslar
There were two primary themes that marked the Reich Farmers' Rally in 1936:
- an uncompromising declaration of war against Jewish world Bolshevism,
- and an indomitable will to self-assertion and national independence.
In his opening remarks at the Goslar City Hall, Darré gave the assembled leadership corps the inspiring command: 'Agriculture to the front'.
Neues Volk
'Blut und Boden' also contributed to the völkisch ideal of a woman: a sturdy peasant, who worked the land and bore strong children, contributing to praise for athletic women tanned by outdoor work.That country women gave birth to more children than city ones also was a factor in the support.
Carl Schmitt argued that a people would develop laws appropriate to its "blood and soil" because authenticity required loyalty to the Volk over abstract universals.
'Neues Volk' displayed demographic charts to deplore the destruction of the generous Aryan families' farmland, and how the Jews were eradicating traditional German peasantry.
'Neues Volk' was the monthly publication of the Office of Racial Policy in Nazi Germany. Founded by Walter Gross in 1933, it was a mass-market, illustrated magazine. It aimed at a wide audience, achieving a circulation of 300,000. It appeared in physicians' waiting rooms, libraries, and schools, as well as in private homes. Its subject matter was the excellence of the Aryan race and the deficiencies of Jews, Poles, and other groups. Articles ranged from profiles of Mussolini, reports on Hitler Youth camps, and travel tips, but eugenic and racial propaganda continued throughout it. The first six issues presented solely ethnic pride, before bringing up any topic on "undesirables." In the next issue, one article presented the types of the "Criminal Jew" surrounded by images of the ideal Aryan, which generally predominated. Such articles continued, showing such things as demographic charts showing the decline of farmland (with generous Aryan families) and deploring that the Jews were eradicating traditional German peasantry. (see above) It included articles defending eugenic sterilization. Photographs of mentally incapacitated children were juxtaposed with those of healthy children. It also presented images of ideal Aryan families and condemned childless couples. By the mid-1930s, it had doubled its pages. Other articles described the conditions under which Hitler would be a child's godfather, discussed the importance of giving children Germanic names, answered racial questions from readers. During the war, it published articles about how the foreign workers were welcome but sexual relations with Germans was prohibited.
Posters for schools depicted, and deplored, the flight of people from the countryside to the city.
The German National Catechism, a pamphlet widely used in schools, also recounted how farmers lost ancestral lands and had to move to the city, with all its demoralizing effects.
'How has the Jew subjugated the peoples ? With money. He lent them money and made them pay interest. Thousands and thousands of Germans have been made wretched by the Jews and been reduced to poverty. Farmers whose land had been in the family for more than 100 years were driven from their land because they could not pay the interest. What happened to those farmers ? They had to move to the cities. Torn from the land to which they belonged, robbed of their labour that gave their lives purpose and meaning, they fell victim to poverty and misery. Worn down, their souls crushed, they accepted Jewish doctrines that denied the Fatherland and opposed all that was nationalistic. Their strength and ability faded. The Jew had reached his goal.
Jews in Vienna
|Gottfried Feder
When Gottfried Feder tried to settle workers in villages about decentralized factories, generals and Junkers successfully opposed him.
Generals objected because it interfered with rearmament, and Junkers because it would prevent their exploiting their estates for the international market.
It would also require the breakup of Junker estates for independent farmers, which was not implemented.
The Reichserbhofgesetz, (see above) the 'State Hereditary Farm Law' of 1933, implemented this ideology, stating that its aim was to: "preserve the farming community as the blood-source of the German people" (Das Bauerntum als Blutquelle des deutschen Volkes erhalten).
Selected lands were declared hereditary, and could not be mortgaged or alienated, and only these farmers were entitled to call themselves Bauern or "farmer peasant", a term the National Socialists attempted to refurbish from a neutral or even pejorative to a positive term.
Regional custom was only allowed to decide whether the eldest or the youngest son was to be the heir.
In areas where no particular custom prevailed, the youngest son was to be the heir. Still, the eldest son inherited the farm in most cases during the Third Reich.
Priority was given to the patriline, so that if there were no sons, the brothers and brothers' sons of the deceased peasant had precedence over the peasant's own daughters.
The Reichserbhofgesetz also prevented Jews from farming: "Only those of German blood may be farmers."
|Hitler Youth - Land Service
This period of compulsory service was required after completion of a student's basic education, before he or she could engage in advanced studies or become employed.
Although working on a farm was not the only approved form of service, it was a common one; the aim was to bring young people back from the cities, in the hope that they would then stay "on the land".
In 1942, 600,000 boys and 1.4 million girls were sent to help bringing in the harvest.
'Blood and Soil' was one of the foundations of the concept of 'Lebensraum', "living space".
By expanding eastward and transforming those lands into breadbaskets, another blockade, such as that of World War I, would not cause massive food shortages, as that one had, a factor that aided the resonance of "Blood and Soil" for the German population.
Even Alfred Rosenberg, not hostile to the Slavs as such, regarded their removal from this land, where Germans had once lived, as necessary because of the unity of blood and soil.
Hitler's 'Mein Kampf' prescribed as the unvarying aim of foreign policy the necessity of obtaining land and soil for the German people.
While discussing the question of 'Lebensraum' to the east, Hitler envisioned a Ukrainian "breadbasket", and expressed particular hostility to its "Russian" cities as hotbeds of Slavism and Communism, forbidding Germans to live in them and declaring that they should be destroyed in the war.
Even during the war itself, Hitler gave orders that Leningrad was to be razed with no consideration given for the survival and feeding of its population.
This also called for industry to die off in these regions.
The 'Wehrbauer', or soldier-peasants, who were to settle there were not to marry townswomen, but only peasant women who had not lived in towns.
This would also encourage large families.
Furthermore, this land, held by "tough peasant races" would serve as a bulwark against attack from Asia.
The Influence of 'Blut und Boden' on Art
Prior to the National Socialist take-over, two popular genres were the 'Heimat-Roman', or regional novel, and 'Schollen-Roman', or novel of the soil, which was also known as Blut-und-Boden.
This literature was vastly increased.
It also combined war literature, with the figure of the soldier-peasant, uncontaminated by the city.
These books were generally set in the nominal past, but their invocation of the passing of the seasons often gave them an air of timelessness.
"Blood and Soil" novels and theater celebrated the farmer's life and human fertility, often mystically linking them.
|'Der Giftpilz'
It also included an account of a Jewish financier forcing a German to sell his farm as seen by a neighbor boy; deeply distressed, the boy resolved never to let a Jew into his house, for which his father praised him, on the grounds that peasants must remember that Jews will always take their land.
Fine Art
|Albin Egger Lienz - Bergmäher
Failure to meet this standard resulted in the attachment of the label, 'entartete Kunst' (degenerate art), to offending pieces.
|Hans Toepper - Erbhofbauer
Indeed, some National Socialist art exhibits were explicitly titled "Blood and Soil".
Artists frequently gave otherwise apolitical paintings such titles as "German Land" or "German Oak".
Landscape paintings were featured most heavily in the Großdeutschen Kunstausstellungen.
While drawing on German romantic traditions, painted landscapes were expected to be firmly based on real landscapes, the German people's 'Lebensraum', without religious overtones.
|Adolf Wissel - Bauernfamilie
This art showed little or no sign of the mechanization of farm work.
The farmer labored by hand, with effort and struggle.
The acceptance of this art by the peasant family was also regarded as an important element.
'Blut und Boden' films likewise stressed the commonality of Germanness, and the countryside.
'Die goldene Stadt' has the heroine running away to the city, resulting in her pregnancy and abandonment; she drowns herself, and her last words beg her father to forgive her for not loving the countryside as he did.
|'Ewiger Wald'
'Ewiger Wald'
Commissioned by Alfred Rosenberg's cultural organization Militant League for German Culture in 1934 under the working title 'Deutscher Wald–Deutsches Schicksal' (German Forest–German Destiny), the feature-length movie premiered in Munich in 1936. Intended as a cinematic proof for the shared destiny of the German woods and the German people beyond the vicissitudes of history, it portrayed a perfect symbiosis of an eternal forest and a likewise eternal people firmly rooted in it between Neolithic and National Socialist times.In accordance with Rosenberg's anti-Christian beliefs, the first section on prehistory displayed various customs and rituals of an asserted pagan forest religion like a maypole dance or funerals in treetrunk coffins. Further, it depicted the forest sheltering ancient Germanic tribes, Arminius, and the Teutonic Knights, facing the German Peasants' War, being chopped up by war and industry, and being humiliated by black soldiers from the French occupation army. The years of the Weimar Republic appeared to be disastrous for people and forest alike to legitimize the assumption of power and thus the film culminated in a National Socialist May Day celebration filmed at the Berlin Lustgarten.
In 'Die Reise nach Tilsit', the Polish seductress is an obvious product of "asphalt culture," but the virtuous German wife is a country dweller in traditional costume.

This might be too early to ask but, are the battery door hinges holding up ok? I have a set of Rhino 3S LIPOs that look to be about the same size and the hinges keep breaking on the doors. I clipped the ends of the doors like you did to accommodate the power cables and the doors can shut without too much effort.
If you or anyone else has / had this issue, any recommendations for upgrades? Or is this a normal thing when using larger LIPOs?
Im on my third set of battery doors now. ***** 2S 2200 20C and the wider ******* 2S 2200 35-70C kill the hinges over time.
Integy has alu battery doors (part-no T3428) with a "hollowed out" design that are a tad wider. But i think they might be heavy, although adding weigth downlow might not be that bad..

I don't know why korn0307 has to cut the batt. doors.
I've been running with the same batt. for a couple months already, and don't need to do any mod.

ended up nose diving at the bottom nothing broke though so that's cool, it was just a big FAIL! lol

Weight might not be a problem if you're already BB'ed.
After some more thoughts, wider batteries might not be the actual problem my hinges are failing after time. Its simply that the thin plastic material eventually has to give up getting bent back and forth every time you open the batt doors. After x cycles open/close = break.
My merv is still basically new so no problems with the hinges yet.
Hskb, I couldnt get mine to fit. Plus i wanted the wires to come out the front. Im gonna get new battery doors and trim them. I cut way too much off because im a noob lol.
I have more problems with them popping out of the chassis than anything else.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Really? Mine were a pain in the butt to get off lol.
Mine pop off with every tumble.
The mushroom tape on them and the body hold everything together so I at least do not have LiPo's flying everywhere.

Just a sanity check, are we talking about the 30c 2500mAh right?
Yes lol they are the 2500 30C 2s lipos. I tried putting them in normal and i couldnt get them to fit like you did. But i gave up fast cuz i wanted them out of the front anyways.
Why dont you guys put a dab of super glue on the tabs? Or use velcro instead of the doors?

I got 4 of them as my first lipos, but 2 of them are still in the shipping wraps. Might use in series to make 4s for my other truck.
Mine are unwrapped but i havent ran them. Im gonna charge them up tomorrow so they are ready to go on saturday. I kinda dont even wanna run my merv till i get my bb because it felt soo underpowered last weekend when i accidentally ran it in series wile bashing.
Put a piece on top and bottom, then put the other piece on them creating like a 'strap' covering the battery compartment.
I haven't tried it but it seems like it might work, I've heard of other people doing something similar

Like on the chassis above and below then put a piece of velcro on to hold the battery in?
Im in the army and the velcro on my uniform is annoying enough to make me avoid velcro at all costs lol.

Got the Alice long sleeve shirt a couple of days ago!
So yeah – super stoked about that! Also, I finally got around to pre-ordering the DVD at the Hot Topic in our mall!
That midnight release party will be CRAZY. Of course, I'm completely excited about it and think it will be awesome. One of my best friends works at our Hot Topic, and he and I laughed about it a lot the other day, because I was saying that I'm gonna stick out like a sore thumb (I'm 6'4″ and about 225) next to everyone else (read: teenage girls) there. Whatever. I don't even care. I'm also going to wear the Alice shirt, which my friend said I might end up getting beat down for. My mom even made a comment about it – the other day, when we were on the phone, I was telling her about how I needed to go pre-order the DVD, and about the release party Hot Topic is organizing, and she was like "Yeah, you definitely need to – you know you want to be there." Then I told her that, to my knowledge, they had gotten about 100 pre-orders for it so far, and she said "oh, okay – so when you go reserve yours, it'll be 100 to 1, girls to guys! Or, I guess I should say girls to guy!" I loved that she was lauging about it too! I can't wait!

add a comment
Ok, so, I found this the other day on a friend's Facebook page, and, since I'm a music nerd, I was immediately interested by the idea – I will quote it below:
"Think of 25 albums that had such a profound effect on you they changed your life or the way you looked at it. They sucked you in and took you over for days, weeks, months, years. These are the albums that you can use to identify time, places, people, and emotions."
So, it's not necessarily your 25 favorite albums ever, or the 25 that you would take with you on a desert island, or something like that. It's the 25 most important, most memorable, most life-altering, etc. That's the perspective I'm doing this list from. Also, this is in no particular order – trying to rank some of these albums would probably make my brain break.
- Black Sabbath – Paranoid. This is a perfect example of the absolute textbook definition of a classic album. At least 75% of the heavy metal music that exists today – and that might be a conservative estimate – simply would not exist without this record. Some bands today can only wish that they could write songs that sound as good as "War Pigs", "Paranoid", and "Iron Man", and those songs have been around for 40 years. Untouchable. Absolutely, positively, inarguably, irrefutably, 100% untouchable.
- Pantera – Official Live: 101 Proof. This is actually a live album, but it's the best representation of what Pantera was. The metal that these guys played had so much groove – the DNA of their music was all about making it impossible for anyone hearing it to sit still. Listening to Dimebag's guitar work is unlike anything else – it sounds like his amps are on fire. They remain the band I most regret not getting to see live before they disbanded, and Dimebag's tragic death makes listening to their music now more somber than I know they ever wanted it to be. I don't even know what I would give to somehow be able to go back in time and see them completely rip some venue apart – probably far too much.
- Fear Factory – Demanufacture. Absolutely my favorite album from this band, and it was the first CD that really showed me how well industrial/electronica instrumentation and flourishes could work with metal, if done right. Also, Burton doesn't get near the credit he deserves for his vocals. Everyone forgets this now, but back in the early 90's, when this band was formed, the whole idea of having one guy do a "dual-vocals" thing – like, one vocalist that was good enough to sing melodic parts and also handle the aggressive stuff – was nowhere near as prominent as it is now. Burton was one of the first people to really do it well.
- Metallica – any of their albums from The Black Album on back. This is kind of cheating, since I'm not picking one particular album, but I spent a good 20 minutes trying to narrow it down to one or two, and I can't. It's impossible. These guys, for years, were undisputably my favorite band on the planet, and I couldn't even tell you how much time I spent listening to their early CD's. On a cumulative basis, I would say 400-500 hours, easily. Probably more.
- Slipknot – Slipknot. This album … oh my god. People like to hate on this band now, but I don't care. I'll always defend them, especially this record, because … well, I don't even know. I can't explain it. This was the first CD I can remember hearing, that, upon listening to it for the first time, didn't even sound like a band. It sounded like a force of nature – like the musical manifestation of a hurricane. That might sound like excessive hyperbole now, but at the time, right after this album came out, it was absolutely the most mind-blowing thing me or any of my close friends had ever heard, ever. Considering not just my close friends and I, but also all the other guys I knew who loved this CD, this band probably saved a couple of lives, and that's not even a joke – words can't do justice to how important this band, and this album, were to us back then.
- Slayer – Reign In Blood. One of the only albums I can think of where all the hype about it is absolutely 100% deserved. Best pure thrash album ever made, and I'm not sure that it will ever be topped, in that regard. I don't know that it's possible to do this style of metal better than what Slayer did on this CD. It will still scare people 100 years from now.
- KISS – Greatest KISS. All of my interest in the aggressive music I'm into now – ALL of it – was spawned from me listening to this album. Not their best album, and it's probably not even their best compilation CD, but this was the first CD by a rock band that I can remember being really excited about finally getting, and then listening to it over and over. Everyone has a different story about how they got into certain music, but for me, as far as any sort of rock music or anything aggressive goes, it ALL started with this.
- Star Wars: A New Hope – Original Soundtrack. Laugh if you want, but this was the first CD I ever owned, and I still have it. John Williams is amazing.
- Apocalyptica – Plays Metallica By Four Cellos. Showed me that you could make ominous, haunting, aggressive music using non-metal instrumentation (four cellos, in this case). It's a shame that these guys have only recently started to get some of the mainstream recognition they deserve – they've been releasing albums for almost 15 years.
- Rammstein – Sehnsucht. WHOA. That was my reaction upon hearing this, way back in junior high. I still have some of the same thoughts about this band today as I did then – it sort of doesn't even matter that they sing almost exclusively in German, and that the overwhelming majority of their American fans don't know what their songs are about. Metal has it's own language that doesn't even need to cross the language barrier to be understood, and these guys are a wonderful example of that. I was (and remain) amazed at the theatrical power of their music.
- The Goo Goo Dolls – Dizzy Up The Girl. I love this band, I love their songs, I love John's vocals – everything. It's debatable whether or not this is their best album, as everyone seems to have a different opinion of how good their newer, more radio-friendly stuff is, but I love it, and whether or not this is their best album, I think it's their most consistent. "Acoustic #3" is beautiful and criminally under-rated, and "Black Balloon" is one of my two favorite songs from them.
- N.W.A. – Straight Outta Compton. This is obviously a gangsta rap record – that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone – but, if this makes any sense, I heard it and part of me thought I was listening to a metal album. Not that this album uses a lot of rock or metal instrumentation – it doesn't – but the attitude is metal. Like, "Straight Outta Compton", just that one song, shocked me. No doubt about it. It came off like no other rap song I'd ever heard, and I still think of it that way. Just listen to the first three songs on the album – even when the guys are flowing about simple things that aren't overtly violent (which, admittedly, is rare), it still sounds threatening. Makes you understand why the FBI once labeled them as "The World's Most Dangerous Group".
- Wu-Tang Clan – Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). This thing – this monster of a debut album – is probably my favorite hip-hop/rap record ever. NO ONE knew what the hell they were listening to when the Clan dropped this. People had seen and heard rap crews before, but NINE MC's, all with razor-sharp flows, wielding their rhymes and beats like samurai swords? It sounds like nothing else before or since. Absolutely timeless.
- Hatebreed – Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire. The first hardcore album I ever owned, and at the time, I wasn't even sure why I liked it. I didn't really know what hardcore was back then, but I was completely unable to get over how good this CD sounds, and I still can't. "Burn The Lies", "Conceived Through An Act Of Violence", and "Worlds Apart" knocked me over, because, until then, I hadn't ever heard heavy music that was so no-frills and stripped down, and yet stayed just as heavy and suffocating as anything else I had heard. It's a classic.
- Sigur Ros – ( ). Beautiful, alien, minimalist, ethereal, stark, hypnotic, cold, angelic … any of those words fit this album. It's hard to describe, honestly – I once read a quote from Tommy Lee in which he described this band as what it would sound like if you mixed angels and noise, if that gives you any idea. The third track on this album (it's usually referred to as "Untitled #3" or "Samskeyti") is one of my favorite songs ever.
- The Parent Trap – Original Soundtrack. Say what you will, but I love this soundtrack. It's that simple. I've loved listening to the songs on it ever since I was in, like, 6th or 7th grade, and I still enjoy them today. It's just fun music – the songs never fail to put a smile on my face. To mention one specific song that I love, Jakaranda's "Never Let You Go" is a treasure.
- Rage Against The Machine – Rage Against The Machine. This album has more energy and more fire than just about any other one. It's so bombastic, so hype, so jacked up, so get-the-hell-up-and-go-start-something … it's a hard rock album with funk. Listening to "Killing In The Name" is like a shot of adrenaline. The whole album is packed so tightly with so much conviction and energy – it tires you out, just listening to it. Gloriously pissed-off.
- Eric B. & Rakim – Paid In Full / Follow The Leader. I know this is cheating, throwing "Paid In Full" and "Follow The Leader" together, but they're totally inseperable to me. Whenever you hear anyone talking about the "Golden Age" of hip-hop, like back in the late 80's, tell them to listen to these two albums. It quite simply gets no better. To my taste, these two albums are the purest representation of what hip-hop is and should always remain, at least at it's core. Two guys – one on the mic and one spinning the 1's and the 2's. When the two parts go together as well as Eric B. & Rakim did – I mean, does life get any better? Ever? EVER? What more could you possibly need? Listening to those two records is like listening to heaven.
- Throwdown – Haymaker. This band has evolved quite a bit, but this album will always be near and dear to me. It helped me understand that being straight edge and living a life free of addiction and the chains that bind so many others is not something to be ashamed of or reticent about – it's quite the opposite. "Never Back Down", "Forever", and "Raise Your Fist", at the time, completely blew me away. I'd never heard hardcore that was that heavy and that aggressive, and I loved that they could do that while still trying to send a positive message.
- Sarah McLachlan – Mirrorball. She's an angel. Her music is magical and from a place that's so personal, and yet millions of people have been able to connect to her and what she sings about, almost as if she is singing directly to them. I don't really think about the concept of fate a whole lot, but with Sarah, I think she was, like, put on this planet to do precisely what she is doing. She was born to play music, and her songs have saved lives. I love this album. Her music has so much power and so much strength, and yet it's still feminine and sexy and beautiful and vulnerable – she's intoxicating. She goes to another place when she sings, and it's like no other feeling in the world when she takes you with her.
- Despised Icon – The Ills Of Modern Man. Maybe the only modern death metal/deathcore album I can listen to straight through, without ever wanting to skip a song, and discover something new every time. Even with how crazy and technical their music gets, there's still just an absurd amount of groove going on – almost to the point where it's sometimes a stretch to even refer to their breakdowns as breakdowns. Brutal in all the best ways.
- DJ Shadow – Endtroducing. 50% instrumental hip-hop and 50% electronica. Also the first album in history to be composed entirely of samples taken from other albums. It's shocking, how good Shadow is and how natural he makes everything sound. There's so much going on and so many different elements and motifs happening in the music, but it never feels chaotic, cluttered, or out of control. You can freestyle rap to this album one night and fall asleep listening to it the next.
- Kid Rock – Devil Without A Cause. I don't even know where to start with this one – just know that I used to race home from school every day just to try to catch the music video for "Bawitdaba" on MTV. I was crushed (I mean, CRUSHED) when he played a concert here and my parents wouldn't let me go, lol, because myself and some of my friends were just amazed at what he was doing and how he was throwing rap, metal, and even some country together. Also, back in, like, 8th grade, "Devil Without A Cause" was totally one of the most intimidating-sounding songs I had ever heard. So that's gotta count for something.
- John Mayer – Where The Light Is: Live In Los Angeles. Not a studio album, but the best representation of his music. Some people hate on him, but I love him and think he's brilliant. He's now to the point where, when he plays concerts, he can almost pick who he wants to be. Blues man, sensitive acoustic guy, pop-rock star, faux hip-hopper who messes around with samples and drum machines – he can do it all. And his fans, generally speaking, are smart enough and appreciative enough of his music that he knows he can pretty much play whatever he wants, and they'll be happy. "In Your Atmosphere" is wonderful.
- Robert Johnson – The Complete Recordings. OK – some would say I'm saving the best for last. And by "some", I mean "Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page". Those are just a few of the artists who have said that Robert Johnson is the greatest bluesman that's ever lived. It's utterly impossible to overstate the impact that his songs have had. Even if you don't listen to blues, you've probably heard 4 or 5 of his songs before and just didn't realize it. They've been covered by hundreds of different groups. So, if you want the blues – and I mean the blues – you need look no further. Period.

Hardy Court Cinema Six
625 Courthouse Road,
1 person favorited this theater
Showing 5 comments
The site is now a state government office building(Business Enterprises Program) and a real estate office(Kim Seal, Realtor).
Opened on screen 1 and 2 with "Mame" and screen 3 with "My name is nobody.
August 23rd, 1974 grand opening ad posted here.
If you look closely at the blue sign on the right in the photo, it says "Hardy Court" on it. This is what remains of the sign and bill board that was located at the entrance to the parking lot for the Hardy Court Cinema which was located to the left in the blank area of the picture before the big building that looks like a house.
The Hardy Court Twin Cinema, located in the Hardy Court Shopping Center, was opened by ABC Midsouth Theatres in the early 1970's. It replaced the single screen Paramount Theatre in downtown Gulfport which they had closed and sold to the owner of the Sand and Gulf Theatres. After a few years, the largest auditorium was divided into two small auditoriums giving it three screens.
The theatre was sold in the late 1980's to the owner of the Norwood Village Cinema in Gulfport. This owner enarged the theatre to six screens, and returned the two small auditoriums back to a single auditorium. After enlarging the Hardy Court, they closed the Norwood Village Cinema. The theatre was again enlarged by two screens giving it eight screens.
Around 2003 the owner sold the Hardy Court Cinema Eight to two investors who operated the theatre until Hurricane Katrina damaged the building. It never reopened and was demolished.

| 7.9°C Belfast
Arsenal have been given a double boost after announcing both defender Per Mertesacker and midfielder Tomas Rosicky have signed new contracts with the club.
Germany international Mertesacker, 29, has established himself as a key member of Arsene Wenger's first-choice back-four, playing alongside Laurent Koscielny for much of the campaign.
Rosicky also continues to form an integral part of Wenger's title-challenging squad despite being 33 and the Gunners' boss is pleased to have both players staying at Emirates Stadium.
"We are delighted that Mertesacker and Rosicky have committed their futures to the club," he told Arsenal's official website.
"They are players of exceptional quality and experience, and have consistently proven themselves at the highest level. There is a great feeling of togetherness and belief in the group and this news will only help to strengthen this further."
Mertesacker, signed from Werder Bremen in 2011, has started all but two of Arsenal's Barclays Premier League fixtures so far this season and - with 95 Germany caps to his name - his experience has proved invaluable.
The defender said signing a new deal was a simple decision to make as he has a passion for the club.
"It was easy for me to commit myself to the club," he said.
"I have been here for two-and-a-half great years and feel I have great support from everyone at the club and the fans. I'm really looking forward to having more years coming up with this fantastic club. We have a great team here and we all want to do our best to win trophies.
"I have become a real Gunner...I am truly thankful to the club and all the supporters for the time I have had here so far. And today I am deeply proud to have extended my contract with Arsenal. I'm proud to be a Gunner."
With the club-record signing of Mertesacker's compatriot Mesut Ozil in the summer and the emergence of Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere in recent times, Rosicky was widely expected to be the man who missed out on playing for Arsenal on a regular basis.
But the Czech Republic star has featured 27 times across all competitions this season and is aiming to pick up his first Premier League crown with a club he joined over eight years ago.
"I'm very happy that I'm staying at the club," he said.
"I'm proud that I'm still here after a long time and that it still continues. I'm glad I'm here at Arsenal and we're all trying our best to win trophies for the club and our supporters.
"Ever since I arrived at Arsenal, I have always felt that I'm at the right place where I want to be. I still feel this way now and I'm proud that after such a long time I'm still here and will continue. One big factor is that I want to win the league with Arsenal."
Wenger's side currently sit third in the table and are four points adrift of leaders Chelsea having fallen to a 1-0 defeat at Stoke last weekend.

Autistic boy left alone on school bus all day
Teen was alone for 7 hours
A severely autistic Southern California teenager was left inside a school bus alone for nearly seven hours.
The Anaheim Union High School District, which operates its own transportation services, has been investigating the Sept. 11 incident involving the Savanna High School student.
The 15-year-old boy's mother says her son, who is unable to speak and suffers from seizures, sat inside the special education student bus parked at the district transportation yard for most of the day.
Lucie Hoang-Ngo tells the Orange County Register that she asked to meet with district administrators for several weeks in hopes of getting an apology and a detailed explanation of what went wrong.
But she says very little information has been provided.
District spokeswoman Pat Karlak says she cannot comment on an ongoing investigation.

This is part I of my All-Star article. For the AL click here.
The All-Star game is in less than two weeks and in accordance with the triplicate-signed-in-blood contract I signed when I started writing about baseball, that means I am required to make public my opinions of who should be or who will be on the team. I'll try to follow the actual rules of picking the team, which include:
21 position players (one more than last year.)
13 pitchers (pitchers who throw in the last game before the break are eligible to be chosen for the team, but may not pitch in the game.)
At least one representative from each team must be chosen.
Fans vote for the starters
With that out of the way, here we go. The current leading vote getters as of June 29:
C: Yadier Molina, STL (.235 avg, 3 HR, 30 RBI, .625 OPS, 0.8 WAR)
1B: Albert Pujols, STL (.312 avg, 18 HR, 57 RBI, .994 OPS, 3.0 WAR)
2B: Chase Utley, PHI (.277 avg, 11 HR, 37 RBI, .849 OPS, 3.2 WAR)
3B: Placido Polanco, PHI (.318 avg, 5 HR, 27 RBI, .782 OPS, 2.0 WAR)
SS: Hanley Ramirez, FLA (.293 avg, 12 HR, 50 RBI, .873 OPS, 2.7 WAR)
OF: Ryan Braun, MIL (.299 avg, 11 HR, 49 RBI, .845 OPS, 1.0 WAR)
OF: Jason Heyward, ATL (.251 avg, 11 HR, 45 RBI, .821 OPS, 1.8 WAR)
OF: Andre Ethier, LAD (.312 avg, 12 HR, 47 RBI, .917 OPS, 0.7 WAR)
Thanks to fan balloting we already have representatives from six teams. Also, thanks to some zealous over-voting we have some guys who don't belong on the team this year (as always). Polanco is having his normal nice season but choosing him as the starting thirdbaseman is laughable. He's just been placed on the DL and may be passed in the voting by David Wright anyway. Molina has been the best defensive catcher in the NL the last few years so I can forgive Cardinals fans on those grounds but his bat has not been up to snuff. And the Jason Hayward Hype Machine™ has been derailed the last month by a thumb injury for which he too was just placed on the DL. Alas, the very deserving Chase Utley is also injured now and will have to be replaced. Braun and Ethier's bad defensive ratings lower their WAR despite good batting lines.
Miguel Olivo, COL (.308 avg, 11 HR, 38 RBI, .909 OPS, 3.0 WAR)
Brian McCann, ATL (.259 avg, 9 HR, 32 RBI, .811 OPS, 2.3 WAR)
The only guys that should even really be considered. Both are having great years. McCann's lowish average is due to an early season slump brought on by vision problems related to caffeine intake. He's cut out the energy drinks and is seeing the ball much better (.234 avg, .769 OPS in April, .282/.851 in May, .259/.809 in June).
1B Adrian Gonzalez, SD (.302 avg, 16 HR, 51 RBI, .931 OPS, 3.2 WAR)
1B Joey Votto, CIN (.313 avg, 17 HR, 54 RBI, .982 OPS, 3.4 WAR)
2B Martin Prado, ATL (.334 avg, 7 HR, 33 RBI, .859 OPS, 2.9 WAR)
2B Kelly Johnson, AZ (.261 avg, 13 HR, 35 RBI, .846 OPS, 2.2 WAR)
SS Rafael Furcal, LAD (.321 avg, 2 HR, 23 RBI, .836 OPS, 2.2 WAR)
3B David Wright, NYM (.310 avg, 14 HR, 61 RBI, .937 OPS, 3.4 WAR)
3B Ryan Zimmerman, WAS (.285 avg, 13 HR, 39 RBI, .887 OPS, 3.0 WAR)
Troy Tulowitzki (COL, .306 avg, 9 HR, 34 RBI, .877 OPS, 2.6 WAR) would have been an easy choice here if not for his injury. Scott Rolen (CIN, .301 avg, 17 HR, 53 RBI, .951 OPS, 2.7 WAR) makes the team if David Wright passes Polanco for the starting spot. Johnson is having a strong season and is the lone Diamondbacks rep.
Matt Holliday, STL (.302 avg, 11 HR, 37 RBI, .868 OPS, 3.2 WAR)
Marlon Byrd, CHC (.311 avg, 9 HR, 35 RBI, .845 OPS, 2.9 WAR)
Andres Torres, SF (.272 avg, 3 HR, 22 RBI, .814 OPS, 2.8 WAR)
Andrew McCutchen, PIT (.298 avg, 7 HR, 24 RBI, .834 OPS, 2.0 WAR)
Holliday and Byrd are pretty obvious choices. Torres' value is built on his speed (14 SB, 4 3B) and fielding (10.6 UZR). Cutch-22 is the easy choice as Best Available Pirate, but would merit strong consideration anyway.
Starting Pitchers
Roy Halladay, PHI (9 W, 2.29 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 7.52 K/9, 2.87 FIP, 3.8 WAR)
Josh Johnson, FLA (8 W, 1.83 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 8.92 K/9, 2.47 FIP, 3.6 WAR)
Ubaldo Jimenez, COL (14 W, 1.83 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 8.12 K/9, 3.07 FIP, 3.3 WAR)
Tim Lincecum, SF (8 W, 3.13 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, 10.16 K/9, 2.88 FIP, 2.9 WAR)
Yovani Gallardo, MIL (8 W, 2.56 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 9.91 K/9, 2.97 FIP, 2.9 WAR)
Adam Wainwright, STL (11 W, 2.34 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 8.60 K/9, 3.11 FIP, 2.9 WAR)
Chris Carpenter, STL (9 W, 2.70 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 7.71 K/9, 3.95 FIP, 1.6 WAR)
Mat Latos, SD (4 W, 2.85 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 8.25 K/9, 3.50 FIP, 1.4 WAR)
Roy Oswalt, HOU (5 W, 3.55 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 8.39 K/9, 3.51 FIP, 2.0 WAR)
Very strong top three. One of Halladay, Johnson or Jimenez needs to start the game and you wouldn't go wrong with any choice. Oswalt has been the best Astro and its really not that close.
Jonathan Broxton, LAD (16 Svs, 1.87 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 13.10 K/9, 0.94 FIP, 1.8 WAR)
Heath Bell, SD (21 Svs, 1.93 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 11.85 K/9, 2.10 FIP, 1.1 WAR)
Billy Wagner, ATL (15 Svs, 1.19 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 13.65 K/9, 2.25 FIP, 0.9 WAR)
Carlos Marmol, CHC (14 Svs, 2.27 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 16.65 K/9, 2.32 FIP, 1.3 WAR)
Best of the best here.
Injury Replacements
I mentioned Rolen earlier. Josh Willingham, Brandon Phillips, Alfonso Soriano, Ryan Ludwick and Angel Pagan are all also posting at least 2.5 WAR so far. As for replacement pitchers, I fully expect Charlie Manuel to name Cole Hamels or Jamie Moyer to the team as replacements for one of the starters that pitches on the Sunday before.
I think my choices are pretty solid but there's always room to quibble. Feel free to take your shots. I'll get an AL team up before the end of the week. Click here for the AL.
All stats are from www.fangraphs.com prior to games on June 30, 2010. Any discrepancy is likely my fault.

Remembering Joe and The Caffe Cino by Playwright Robert Patrick
Retired dancer Joe Cino opened Caffe Cino on an obscure Greenwich Village side-street in 1958. Poets like Allegra Jostad, George Economou, and Taylor Mead performed there, and musicians like Tiny Tim and accordionist Asterios Metakos (Cino purportedly rejected then-acoustical Bob Dylan). There were also pirated plays, many by Tennessee Williams. Early actors included Ron Faber, Helen Honkamp, Bill Mitchell, Jane Lowry, Gary Filsinger, Elizabeth Shanklin, Keith Carsey, Kitty McDonald, Joe Davies, Shirley Stoler, Al Pacino, Mary Boylan, Paxton Whitehead, Phoebe Mooney, Wallace Androchuk, Hope Stansbury, Milton Wyatt, Patricia Dillon, Matt Baylor, and Richard Smithies. Directors Glenn DuBose, Bob Dahdah (the most frequent Cino artist), and Roberta Sklar set artistic standards. Original plays such as 1960's Flyspray by James Howard and two by Story Talbot built an audience for Doric Wilson's four 1961 hits, which made the public take the café seriously as a place for new drama, including five 1962-63 plays by Jerry Caruana.
Artists were unpaid. Performances cost viewers only the price of a coffee and whatever they chose to put in a basket actors passed. Pirated plays persisted, including gay-slanted Oscar Wilde evenings arranged by Alan Lysander James, and Andy Milligan's heavily homoerotic 1961 productions of Genet's The Maids and Deathwatch, plus his 1962 dramatization of Williams' One Arm. Prominent playwrights included Claris Nelson, David Starkweather, and Paul Foster, prominent directors Sydney Schubert Walter and Bob Dagny.
Once La Mama opened across town, many artists worked in both Cino and La Mama as well as the other Off-Off Broadway theatres they inspired. Primary Off-Off theatres were mostly housed in cafes, bars, churches, galleries--institutions which made money otherwise, and could therefore afford to let artists create theatre which needn't be popular or conformist. Thus theatre entered the modern era which painting entered when the Impressionists decided that they must paint as they must, whether their work sold or not. Uniquely American is the fact that there was no manifesto or program for this movement; it simply sprang organically from freedom. Outstanding results of this freedom at the Cino were the performances of popular players such as Helen Hanft, Neil Flanagan, Michael Warren Powell, Magie Dominic, James Jennings, Mari-Claire Charba, Robert Shields, Jacque Lynn Colton, Louie Waldon, Connie Clark, Dean Selmier, Lucy Silvay, Bill Haislip, Linda Eskenas, Fred Forrest, Phoebe Wray, Victor LiPari, Joyce Aaron, Michael Griswold, Tanya Berezin, John Kramer, Zita Litvinas, John Gilman, Mary Woronov, Robert Frink, Deborah Lee, John Borske, and members of the Harris family in plays often by Lanford Wilson, John Guare, Sam Shepard, Tom Eyen, William M. Hoffman, H.M. Koutoukas, Daniel Haben Clark, Robert Patrick, Ruth Yorck, Donald Kvares, or Sally Ordway, plus "movement-and-music" pieces introducing Tom O'Horgan to the theatrical world. Larry Loonin sometimes did playlets between shows. Many outstanding presentations were directed by Marshall W. Mason, William Archibald, Michael Smith, or by Bob Dahdah, who crafted the Cino's most perfect production, Dames at Sea.
A 1965 fire at the café led Ellen Stewart to offer Joe Cino her La Mama stage during the Cino's rebuilding. Plays by Jean-Claude van Itallie, Eyen, Ruth Krauss, Mary Mitchell, and Diane DiPrima constituted "Cino at La Mama." The fire brought unprecedented publicity for the Cino, resulting in even more work for the overworked regulars, including dishwasher Kenny Burgess, who did the characteristic "abstract" Cino window posters, and waiter John P. Dodd, whose lighting has influenced world theatre ever since. He was called by Paul Foster, "a living art treasure." Although exhaustion and drug use were depleting the energy of the staff, fine new writers such as Bob Heide, Josef Bush, Haal Borske, Ronald Tavel, Jeff Weiss, Terry Alan Smith, Oliver Hailey, Charles Kerbs, Tom Labar, and Soren Agenoux appeared. New directions, such as "pop" shows using comic-books as scripts (suggested by Merrill Harris and Donald L. Brooks), enthralled some audiences but bewildered others attracted by such now-famous writers as Eyen and Lanford Wilson.
Personal problems caused Joe Cino to kill himself in 1967. First, actor-director Charles Stanley, and then Joe Cino's great friend Michael Smith, with a partner named Wolfgang Zuckermann, bravely kept the Cino operating for about a year, but the always quasi-legal café succumbed under the pressure of summonses from a city government rumored to have been lenient on it in the past only because of certain "family" influences. Although the closing was sad for us all, the fruit of the Cino, literally thousands of free-spirited theatres worldwide, provided new places to carry on the great work Joe Cino never expected to inspire.

When Amy Oren of Elegant Impressions asked me to create a table setting for "True Colors" a fundraiser to benefit Mekor Haim of Brooklyn, NY, I was immediately open to the challenge. The idea of the event was that several table decor designers were instructed to prepare round or a 4 foot long Shabbat tablescape using 1 color as an inspiration. "Would you do red?", she asked, and I immediately accepted, even though the color red was not yet my top choice of color for a table setting theme. With the big day about four weeks into the future, I mentally swept the thought of my red table decor into the corner of my calendar until the event loomed less than a week away. I decided to stay calm while semi-frantically searching among my own table ware. I pulled out five crystal candlesticks, and some antique scarlet red fruit compotes that I had bought when I was first married. I also plucked some crystal goblets out of the cabinet that my mom had given to me when she moved out of her huge corner house on Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn.
Eyeing my little assembly, it was starting to look a little cozy and romantic to me, so I decided that we would have a rectangular shaped Shabbat table for two.
I ran down to my basement where I had stored some white plexi squares that I had made up for my daughter's birthday party last year. Hmm…..
Borrowed two stunning white beaded placemats and looped linen napkins…
Ran into Parci Parla on Kings Highway in Brooklyn, and of course Sherri was willing to lend me the entire store…
The Judaica store next door to Parci Parla was very gracious in lending me red siddurim….
I laid it down on the dining room floor, added the red siddurim and a bottle of red wine…
I played around with some napkin folding ideas and tried the one above, but my kids said it looked like a Red Cross logo, so I turned it around until it became an X.
I started to envision red rose petals along the vertical edges of my lucite table "runner", so I called Shirley Bar Nathan who advised me that rose petals peel off the stem much more easily when they are a couple of days old, so I ran to the corner and bought three dozen deeply colored red roses, enjoyed them for Shabbat, and on the Tuesday morning of the event, I really enjoyed peeling and displaying them along the edge of the table display. Of course you can integrate this rose petal theme into so many table scopes using a multitude of rose petal hues on the floral market.
Because I was really getting into the romantic theme, I wanted to have place cards that were calligraphied "Scarlet" (get it? RED..) and "Rhett" (of course from Gone With the Wind) If you are too young to know who Scarlet and Rhett were, you can get some kind of comparison to modern day love stories here…
I used matching Kim Seybert beaded napkin rings as votives….
- lucite box and Jonathan Adler red frame by Parci Parla…
- printing for "thejewishhostess" label and frame by Bonnie Adjmi
- Siddurim by Tehillat Yitchak Judaica
- red and black Hermes dishes and crystal place card holders and lucite flatware by "Aimee",
- long stemmed strawberries (by Ilan from Ouri's fruit on Avenue U) topped my compotes (hashgachah NOT included)
- Swirly candlesticks by Surrey Lane.
- Calligraphy for place cards by Michelle
All in all it was great fun, and I was glad to help out a community cause. Thanks Amy!

An Australian party-planning company, Pinkalicious, specializing in dances "for lesbian and bisexual women" has won the right to ban men from their 'dos - "because they might pester women for sex."
Apparently the organizers had had a hard time keeping creepy dudes out of the Pinkalicious dances - now the sole women-only party Down Under. Says one company owner, "In my experience feminine lesbians are often the target of heterosexual male fantasy, and therefore subject to more intrusive attention from them...It is a major concern that heterosexual males will attend the Pinkalicious event in the hope they can achieve their desire for a sexual experience with multiple women."
There's been a backlash - particularly because only last month the Attorney General demanded that Australia's elite men's clubs open up to women. Says Sue Price, director of the Men's Rights Agency, the ruling represents a double standard, and Pinkalicious is receiving special treatment.
But gay men's bars have long had the right to ban women in Australia - and we can see far more compelling reasons for the Pinkalicious ban. After all, at the end of the day, this becomes a safety issue: the intention is to provide an environment for a group who don't have many other venues in which to feel totally secure and drink cocktails with very large pieces of watermelon in them. Or, as the head of the Human Rights Commission puts it, Pinkalicious events are important because "they offer a disadvantaged group the chance to experience supportive social occasions, feel safe in public spaces and build a sense of belonging." And let's face it: the guys who'd want to crash said event are a self-selecting population, to put it mildly, and I'm guessing it won't pose much of a problem for the non-creeps of Australia. That said, Stephen Horner is obviously going to be furious.

Report: Demarius Reed death caused by 'expensive-looking' clothes
YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) - Police say an Eastern Michigan University football player killed during a possible robbery may have been targeted because he had on expensive-looking clothing.
The Ann Arbor News reports the detail is in transcripts from a hearing in the case that it reviewed.
Preliminary examinations for 20-year-old Ed J. Thomas and 19-year-old Kristopher K. Pratt are scheduled for Jan. 17. They face murder charges in the fatal shooting of Demarius Reed.
The wide receiver's roommate discovered his body at the bottom of a stairwell at an off-campus apartment complex on Oct. 18. Police say Reed's wallet and cellphone were taken.
Reed was a 20-year-old communications major from Chicago.
The school announced plans Tuesday to hire a total of 10 new full-time police officers by September 2014 to boost off-campus patrols.

Horses have played a vital role in the history of mankind. They have served several purposes from transportation to heavy cavalry. Nowadays due to the development of technology horses are no longer used anymore. They can be mostly found working for humans in ranches, farms, circuses and driving carriages for amusement rides. Although horses are not as vital as they were back in the days the tradition of riding them did not falter. Equestrians were regarded as nobles in Rome who are members of the cavalry. Nowadays they are riders who participate in a number of equestrian sports.
Equestrians in this day and age are more known for equestrianism. It refers to the ability to ride and drive horses. This definition does not just include the use of horses for recreational activities and sports but also for working and practical uses. Contrary what most people would think the term refers to other skills not just riding them for equestrian sports.
Equestrians before
Horses were used for a variety of purposes. They were both used in war and peaceful pursuits. They were used for transportation, agriculture, and warfare. In Rome, Equestrians were regarded as elite. Horses were expensive at that time so owning one meant that you were rich and does not need to do manual labor. They were members of a social upper class in Rome. This class was most often referred to as knights. They were both a military and a political group because horsemen received financial compensation from the government.
As Rome expanded it relied on its allies for cavalry. There was no use from equestrians and they lost their military functions. They did not engage in war anymore but their titles still remain and indicate nobility. The equestrians were rich and governed the provinces. At that time senators were equal to equestrians.
The senators dominated the magistrate offices but were forbidden to operate a business and gain commercial income. The equestrians, on the other hand, continued to invest in marketing and tax farming companies. Conflicts arose between the two of them. Equestrians made as much money as they can while senators notice rebellions due to overtaxing. During civil wars, the two elite collaborated and their orders were defined as reforms were done.
Equestrians today
There are popularly known for participating in equestrian sports during Olympics. Like before horseback riding is reserved for the rich. Even today horses are still expensive and prized.
Equestrian events include dressage, show jumping and eventing. Equestrians should be able to make the horse carry out natural movements on request while running loose during competitive dressage. It is also referred to as "Horse Ballet". Its goal is to develop a horses' athletic ability and its initiative to perform to maximize its potential.
Show jumping is a timed event where equestrians are required to jump over a series of obstacles with the fewest mistakes. Riders and their horses should be able to go through the obstacle with the least knocked over portions of obstacles.
Eventing is the combination of dressage and shows jumping. The horse and the rider have to go through a series of fixed obstacles such as stone walls, water, logs banks, ditches with the fastest time possible.
Although the role of equestrians has changed through the centuries it still holds that aura of nobility that it once enjoyed in medieval times.

Tribal Damchiyas
Ribari Tribal Damachiya #9
An original Rabari tribal cabinet from the Rann of Kutch. These cabinets were one of the few pieces of wooden furniture that the Kutchi people had in their traditional round mud huts. The Rann (meaning marsh) of Kutch is in the far west of the state of Gujarat, an isolated region reputed to be the largest salt desert in the world. During the the seasonal summer monsoons the desert is inundated by river floods and wind driven salt tides from the Arabian Sea. Being a desert with few trees makes wooden furniture very scarce and precious to the people living there.
Known as Damchiyas, Damachiyas or Manjoos, they are usually constructed of teak wood with intricately carved geometric patterns. Each cabinet is traditionally embellished with small round mirrors, metal strapping and more commonly than not, the top front posts carved with symbolic horse heads. All have one simple hinged door in the center for storage with the top of the cabinet being used as shelving for blankets, textiles or other household items.
They make great alter cabinets for the home or yoga studios.
