New Orleans Groggery
In the early twentieth century, bankers and businessmen working in New Orleans' Central Business District shared a dining and drinking establishment, the Old 27, located on the first floor at 215 Carondelet Street (building with circular signage in photo above). The Sportsmen's Conservation Club gathered there for its annual banquet in 1912 and the next year the Jones Island Pleasure Club did the same. The latter showed motion pictures of Jones Island (Manchac) and Professor Peter Schaff's orchestra performed "while an army of waiters attended to their wants."(1)
Named for its pre-1895 street number, the Old 27 was a well-known groggery that had changed hands a number of times by 1913, when it was run by Frenchman Francois Sartre (1856-1921). Born in Bordeaux, Sartre moved to Louisiana around 1886, first working as a chef for the Godchaux in Reserve, Louisiana before his reputation prompted the Aliciatore family to hire him in New Orleans. Once he had accumulated sufficient capital, he opened his first restaurant in Biloxi and later his second in the Old 27.
Prohibition doomed the 40-year-old watering hole. The Times-Picayune quoted Sartre:
'Prohibition! Quelle pensee, terrible! Avez un coeur! When you take wine from a Frenchman you might as well kill him. My friends, they say they shall go back to France if this country becomes dry. Me, I have already turned most of my place into a restaurant because I knew it was coming. It is hard. Why, I drink less than a half a gallon of water in a year; what shall I do when they take my wine? And what about my friends? They must suffer also. In France we put out absinthe and kept our wine when the war came on. In the United States they should put out whiskey and keep the wine and beer.'(2)
One year later, Sartre leased and renovated the former Ramos Gin Fizz Saloon at 712-714 Gravier Street and opened a new Francois. There, one could have the Daily Table D'Hote Dinner consisting of American turtle soup, filet of beef pique richelieu, and a lettuce and alligator pear salad for $1.25.(3)

Lost Marbles
For those who have wondered whatever happened to the figurative sculptures from the old New Orleans Cotton Exchange Building, Albert Weiblen's Marble & Granite Works office records provide the answers.
Louisville, Kentucky architect Henry W. Wolters (flourished 1870s-1890s) designed the ornate structure in 1881 after winning a public competition (first image). Wolters referred to the style as 'French Renaissance,' claiming it to be the 'most popular and appropriate style of street architecture in Paris.'(1) The Carondelet Street facade was especially elaborate, with broken pediments and abundant sculptural embellishment. Caryatids framed the doorway and personifications of Agriculture, Commerce and Industry surmounted the segmental pediment crowning the entrance bay.
In 1918, the sculptures were removed from the building in preparation for the new Cotton Exchange Building.(2) Exchange secretary Colonel H.G. Hester intimated that the new structure would be a replica of the old, and that the sculptures -- either replaced or restored -- would remain.(3) However, as the building project developed, his assurances were never realized. The Park Commission agreed to place the salvaged marbles in City Park despite criticism from the architectural community.(4)
When the Works Progress Administration began altering City Park, the marbles were moved to the Weiblen Marble and Granite Works. Architect Albert W. Drennan incorporated the caryatids into the Weiblen Showroom building located at 116 City Park Avenue (second image), but the pediment figures proved more difficult to reassign. According to Weiblen architect Ralph G. Phillippi, the 11'10" figure of Commerce (sometimes referred to as Peace; fourth image) -- along with part of the frieze -- was sent to the quarry "to be sawed for slabs and vase stock." Albert Weiblen stored the 7'5" sculptures of Agriculture (third image) and Industry(fifth image) in the Metairie Cemetery Annex, but both works were vandalized by boys "shooting at them with twenty twos from the railroad track." Weiblen subsequently broke the marbles for use as fill under Bell Avenue/Fairway Drive on the western side of Metairie Cemetery.(5)
This blog has previously addressed Tulane's lost owl sculptures that New Orleans architects Moise Goldstein & Nathaniel C. Curtis, Jr. buried somewhere in Audubon Park.
(1)"The New Cotton Exchange." The Daily Picayune (23 March 1881): p.4. Located on the corner of Carondelet and Gravier Streets, the building was constructed for approximately $370,000. James Freret served as supervising architect for the foundation, and Charles A. Marble of Chicago was supervising architect under Wolters. See: "An Imposing Structure: The New Cotton Exchange in New Orleans." Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper (24 March 1883): p. 76 and "A Palace of Commerce." The Daily Picayune (9 May 1883): p.4. According to the latter article, the sculptures were the work of a stone carver A. Goddard, who also executed works for the Chicago parks.
(2)"'Just What We Deserve' Say Three Granite Sisters." The Times-Picayune (17 November 1918): p.41. S.S. Labouisse was named architect for the project, but passed away in 1918. Favrot & Livaudais ultimately designed the new structure in 1920.

900 Block Camp Street
We recently came across a series of Camp Street parade photographs from the early twentieth century. They depict streetcars, horse carts, military groups, spectators, bands, residences and stores along the 900 block of Camp Street, directly across from Confederate Memorial Hall. Since the flags are at half staff, we assume a funerary parade, and the commemorative procession for President McKinley seems possible.
The structures located at 900-918 Camp Street -- occupied by Nicholas Radetich's oyster bar and saloon and Lambert Brothers gas fitters, plumbers and electricians -- were demolished prior to the 1906 construction of the Fairbanks Company building (Stone Brothers, architects).

Mid-Century Bourbon Street
Tulane Digital Library and the Southeastern Architectural Archive are happy to announce a new Digital Collection of mid-century New Orleans photographs.
Walter Cook Keenan (1881-1970), the first architect of the Vieux Carré Commission (VCC), took the photographs in order to document violations of the Vieux Carré Ordinance (VCO). Beginning in 1944, the VCC increasingly sought to regulate the appearance of building facades, especially by limiting signage and prohibiting the use of neon. As VCC architect, Keenan conducted daily property inspections to document VCO violations.
Entertainment businesses along Bourbon Street were notably affected by the ordinance and Keenan recorded nearly every property along the artery more than once. Bourbon Street's night clubs, jazz musicians, burlesque shows, restaurants and boarding houses became his photographic subjects. The collection includes images of Sloppy Joe's, Lenny Gale's Sugar Bowl, the Old Barn Bar, Zonia's Cocktail Lounge, Ciro's, the Magic Lock, the Famous Door, 418 Bar, Dixie's Bar of Music, and Stormy's Casino Royale. Signs for burlesque dancers Evangeline, Bubbles, Kalantan, Pam Holloway, and Stormy's Mother also feature prominently.

2517-2519 Columbus Street
In 1938, New Orleans architects Andry & Feitel developed plans for a two-story frame structure for Reverend Alphonse Janssens for the St. Rose of Lima parish. Paul Andry (1868-1946) had already designed a new church (1914) and brick school (1925) for the parish before receiving this commission.
The two-story weatherboard building was intended to function as a school annex, accommodating restrooms, additional classrooms, an auditorium and a cafeteria. Reverend Janssens contributed personal funds towards the building, as he had with earlier parish building projects.(1)
The Southeastern Architectural Archive retains plans for all three St. Rose of Lima structures, as well as block plans for the properties the parish acquired. The Louisiana Research Collection has additional holdings relevant to the church that have been described in the department blog.

Sully's Penthouse Office
New Orleans architect Thomas Sully (1885-1939) designed his own offices on the eleventh floor of the Hennen Building located at 201-203 Carondelet/800-814 Common Street. A previous post included photographs of the building exterior and his office interior. His suite included a drafting room, individual offices, a vault, blueprinting operations and access to the roof garden. The drafting & blueprinting room skylights provided natural illumination. Two stairways accommodated access to an attic; one of them provided access to a tenth-story bath house and barbershop.
Between 1896 & 1898 Sully, Burton & Stone Company expanded the Hennen Building's top floor to create additional office spaces. The roof garden was lost in the process.
In 1921, Emile Weil altered the Henenn for the Canal-Commercial Trust & Savings Bank by adding two additional bays on the upriver Carondelet Street side and extending the eleventh story. He significantly transformed the lower portion of the street facade by removing the original fenestration and surface ornamentation.
The Hennen Building -- now called the Maritime -- has been on the National Register since 1986.

Central City 1970
In 1970, New Orleans architect Edward B. Silverstein (1909-1989) received a commission to alter the old Dryades Market building located at the corner of Dryades (now Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard) and Melpomene Streets. He was already very familiar with the historic property, as he had worked on the building twice before, the first time nearly twenty years prior. In 1951, his office was able to secure copies of the original 1911 drawings by City Engineer William Joseph Hardee and his assistant Maurice Woulfe, which had included the design of a large arcade conjoining the downriver vegetable market to the upriver meat market, as well as substantive provisions for reinforcing the Melpomene Street roadbed since it covered a subterranean canal.
The structure had already undergone massive renovations during the 1930s. In 1931, Sam Stone, Jr. (1869-1933) developed plans to widen Melpomene Street for vehicular traffic and remove the lower portion of the arcade. He replaced portions of the foundation and the trussing system, modernized the plumbing, added refrigeration units and significantly altered the interior stalls.
Silverstein's first alterations to the structure were developed in partnership with Leon Weiss (1882-1952). Weiss and Silverstein modernized the Dryades Street facade by replacing it with multiple storefronts comprised of plate glass windows unified by a porcelain enamel frieze. In the late 1950s, Silverstein further altered some of the stores by adding modern lighting and sound systems.
Economic decline was affecting the structure when Charles L. Franck took this photograph (above/circa 1970). Silverstein hired the photographer to record existing conditions relevant to the former meat market building, as some of the shop owners leasing storefronts desired additional security features. Silverstein made his last alterations by replacing his earlier plate glass windows with a brick veneer and adding roll-up metal security doors.

Reproduction & Preservation
We have mentioned in an earlier post the relationship between architectural reprographic processes and jazz music in New Orleans. Tulane University's Hogan Jazz Archive retains the blueprint-laden manuscript collection of local musician John Hyman, aka Johnny Wiggs.
For those interested in large format duplication processes, catalogs published by the Eugene Dietzgen Company provide considerable information. Product number 4310B (top image) was a sheet washer for developing blueprints and negative prints in running water. A clamping device fixed the drawing into a near-vertical position for the washing process. Wet prints could be dried on the rack attached to the top of the washer.
Dietzgen vacuum print frames were sold individually (bottom image) or with high power arc lamps (central image). The company recommended the individual print frame for both electric and sun printing. The frame's vacuum pump connected to a rubber blanket designed to keep the sensitized paper and the trace material firmly in position against the glass plate.
When the vacuum print frame was coupled with the lamps, Dietzgen recommended its use for processing Vandykes and Edco process prints. The latter was the company's method of reproducing original tracings by making a Vandyke negative of the original tracing and then placing the intermediate directly atop a sensitized cloth (called Edco Process Cloth) and exposing the sheets to light as one would do in the development of a blueprint. After the Edco Process Cloth was exposed, the technician would rinse it with water, apply a developing liquid, rinse it a second time, and hang the print out to dry.
Companies such as Dietzgen encouraged architectural and engineering businesses to make duplicates of original tracings for preservation purposes: "This is the best insurance known, for the duplicate may be filed away in a vault, or elsewhere, safe from loss or damage by fire."(1)

Founding Philosophy
Membership Responsibilities
Namequoit Sailing Association (NSA) is first and foremost a friendly, low key, family oriented sailing club. We teach sailing and promote the enjoyment of being on the waters of Pleasant Bay. The majority of our members live or summer in the towns of Orleans, Chatham, Harwich, Brewster and Eastham.
The original handful of family members did a lot to get us to where we are today; we have a comfortable clubhouse with a deck overlooking Frost Fish Cove, dock facilities, a well respected sailing school, an active racing schedule and a year round slate of activities.
A summer, weekend racing series is open to all Family and Associate members. Everyone, regardless of skill, is encouraged to participate including the Youth Sailors.
Club Structure
We are a non-profit organization where Family Membership is limited to 60 families and an Associate Membership is available for those who no longer have a boat, as well as for those who just want to participate in the adult racing program. A Flag Membership category is also available to members who are no longer active sailors but want to continue to enjoy the friendships they have forged over the years. Family Members can hold offices and vote; Associate and Flag members may not.
Because we are a small family organization, members are expected to find a comfortable level of participation in the overall activities that contribute to the administration and the well-being of NSA. To keep expenses low and, in the spirt of the non-profit volunteer organization, we have well organized maintenance work parties in the spring and fall - coffee and donuts provided!!!
We not only enjoy camaraderie on the water, but on land as well. We have friendly Cook-In's (potluck gatherings) throughout the winter and monthly club gatherings in June through September, including our traditional Lobster Bake. We also schedule group cruises which sail to an island for snacks and beverages and/or a lunch at the Wequassett Inn on Pleasant Bay!
Capital Fund
The Capital Fund was initiated in 2013 in conjunction with a rolling 5-year Capital Plan to provide for anticipated and unanticipated capital needs as they arise. It is vitally important to keep our equipment upgraded, repaired, competitive and, above all, safe for our students and instructors.
Contributions since 2013 by both members and friends/relatives of members have enabled us to acquire 12 sailboats and one Boston Whaler, repower another Whaler and make several improvements in and around our clubhouse. While there will always be capital needs, we are well prepared to operate a top-tier junior sailing program.
Our current board members are:
Chip Bechtold, Commodore
Jill Klein, Vice Commodore
Doug Fellows, Rear Commodore
Helen Kelsey, Secretary
Alix Heilala, Treasurer
Jeff Williams, Past Commodore
Kevin Johnson, Youth Sailing Program Chair

Family Membership is $275 for the season.
Our Associate Membership provides sailors with the opportunity to participate in our racing program and social events.

I'll be following the Sugimotos each week as they search for their new digs so we can get to know the thought process and challenges behind finding a home in Hawaii. Hopefully they find something before the baby arrives!
Ed lives and works in Central Oahu, which is very convenient for him, but Maile works in town and has to fight traffic every day. If they move to town, it will be easier for Maile, and Ed will actually be driving against traffic each way so he'll have fewer hassles commuting than she currently does.
Another benefit to moving: both their parents live in town and have offered their babysitting services.
"Then, there's the question of whether to buy or rent," Ed said. "We know for sure we'd like to keep our current house and rent it out if possible.
"If we bought another place in town, our entire savings would be wiped out to pay for the down payment and closing costs," he explained. "If we rented, we could continue to save every month while leaving our savings untouched. It also leaves our options open in case we want to move elsewhere."
Join me and the Sugimotos on their house-hunting adventure in the coming weeks! If you have any leads or tips for them, share them here!
Note: Ed has a real estate license, so will be representing himself, but he is the Wireless Manager at Oceanic Time Warner Cable. He is not in real estate sales.

Courage Knows No Gender (Blog)

Courage Knows No Gender
Kamala Bai is a Dalit Sarpanch in the village of Magneri in a district of Madhya Pradesh. Since the seats in Gram Panchayats have a reservation of 50% for women, she won the elections by a 100 votes. Her husband has studied till twelfth standard and she calls herself uneducated. An NGO helped her in getting information on the finances and the working of the panchayat. Once she started work, she wanted the women in the village to participate in the Gram Sabha. She wanted them to speak up and have an equal opportunity in stating their views on matters related to the village. She said and I quote, "The Gram Panchayat should take care of the village like it is their own child. When people have issues do they go to the Prime Minister or the Sarpanch to resolve their problems?" She questioned on the things which didn't seem right and got the administration to take note of it. She also fought with lawyers who asked for bribes and the village rowdies who participated in illegal activities. Her husband supported her at every step of the way.
Despite all of the amazing work which Kamala Bai did for the village, she was still powerless. How you ask? When she went for training to different cities, she had to be accompanied by her aunt cause people in the village made comments on her integrity and even shamed her husband. She had to fight to get the decision making power as the men in the panchayat thought what could a so called Dalit woman even do?
I'm sure you're thinking that this is the same old story of every woman. They suffer. They resist. They fight. They give in or is some cases, demand for equality. They speak up, they drive campaigns for the world to see the complete picture, they stand up. But, can you see the fundamental problem in our thinking? Are you as confused as I? Well, good. This article will now make sense to you.
As human beings we have been conditioned to not question. To be accepted, we conform to the existing societal construct cause otherwise everything will require additional effort. The effort to have that conversation with your mother on how happy she is about giving up her career for her family; the discussion with your wife on why she is so willing to take care of all your needs; feeling the pain and discomfort your sister goes through during menstruation every month; the consciousness of your girlfriend about her body and the mental exhaustion of them all to feel unheard and powerless in most situations of life. We get conditioned to the mainstream adulteration of values without even thinking about it. We talk, we nod, we judge, we move on. Are we doing the right thing? Is it fair? Are we even asking 'Why?'
Why are Women doing this?
Why do They need to do this?
Why do We need to address it now?
When Kamala Bai can realize that God created us all the same; that the blood which runs in all our veins is red; that the entire dichotomy of gender and caste began in our societies – why are we unable to recognize each other as a human first? As individuals, communities and a nation why are we providing a breeding ground for indifference, discrimination and adversity?
I'm aware that I haven't given any answers, instead have asked the same old questions. Those who know me well will know the rebel in me and my struggle growing up in an orthodox and patriarchal society that put me down at every step. From family, friends and teachers to every aunty in the colony who had no business interfering in my life has played a crucial role in perpetuating the power dynamics that exists between men and women. I have shouted and fought and questioned till I cried "Why me?" And believe me, I still haven't asked enough. But today I choose to stop. Stop asking the questions to expect any answers from others. Kamala Bai knows the answers. I know the answers. We all do. And no matter what the answer or the action, none of it will ever be enough. But I want to start now and will urge each of you to do the same. Start accepting yourself, finding your own answers, supporting others in finding theirs, providing clarity to the confused minds and raising our voices together in support of humanity.
"When you change the way you look at things; the things you look at change" ~ Wayne Dyer. No development will ever happen if we are not redefining success of a country considering the other half of its population too and changing conversations on gender issues.
We have also asked too many questions. When are we making time to answer them and take action is what will make all the difference. Do you have the courage to do it?
P.S. - The names of people and the village in the story have been changed to respect their privacy and identity.

Bella Thorne calls out casting director who said she flirted with him aged 10

Former Disney Channel star Bella Thorne has opened up about her experience of being sexualised by a casting director when she was only 10 years old.
The actor sat down on model Emily Ratajkowski's podcast, High Low with Em Rata, to discuss her life and career when she recounted being turned down by an adult who accused her of flirting with him.
"I had a director give me feedback once and I was 10." She said. "The casting director calls my agent and the agent calls my mom. And they're like, 'So she's not moving forward because the director felt like she was flirting with him and it made him really uncomfortable.'
"What the f**k are you talking about, man?! I don't give a f**k what I said! I don't care if I said, 'Eat my p****y right now!' [I was] 10 years old. Why, why, would you ever think that?"
Bella Thorne explained that during those types of casting sessions, "you can't really say or do much. You do the scene, you say 'hello,' you walk out".
She added: "There's no time to like, 'Let me go sit on your lap or make you feel uncomfortable.' What the f**k are you talking about, man?"
Victim of abuse: Bella Thorne. (WireImage/Phillip Faraone)
Since the incident happened 15 years ago, Thorne is still grappling with the guilt and confusion around it.
"I'm trying to find almost fault in myself," she continued, "like, 'what did you do, Bella? What did you do that made him feel like this?' And every time I'm like, 'Bella, stop it.'
"Even that thought right there is becoming part of the problem … it drives me crazy."
Ratajowski agreed, adding: "If you need a more f**ked up story about Hollywood and paedophilia and the sexualisation of children, I don't know that there is one."
Thorne has previously opened up about her experiences with sexual abuse in her childhood, both in her 2019 book, The Life of a Wannabe Mogul: Mental Disarray, and on social media.
In 2018, Bella Thorne spoke out during the Time's Up campaign which aimed to shed light on sexual assault on women.
"I was sexually abused and physically growing up from the day I can remember till I was 14," she wrote at the time.
"When I finally had the courage to lock my door at night and sit by it. All damn night," she added. "Over and over I waited for it to stop and finally it did."
The abuse continued into her time on the Disney Channel show Shake It Up where she starred opposite Zendaya.

Though He Be But Little, He Is Fierce: Arts and Letters (2023)
"Photos by Bob Coglianese/NYRA/Thoroughbred Times Collection via the Keeneland Library."
By Jennifer Kelly
Handsome. Strapping. Beautifully made. A virtual Hollywood leading man in equine form. Majestic Prince was literally a golden boy, a chestnut colt who won regularly and with panache, but found soundness harder to come by. Next to him, Arts and Letters, smaller and not quite as glitzy, churned over a racetrack on legs that were a bit too short for his frame, but with a durability that carried him farther – all the way to Horse of the Year.
In a year when one would vie for history and the other play spoiler, this is the story of two horses who challenged each other in pursuit of glory and gold. Their victories would propel both into an abbreviated rivalry that would leave one question on the minds of those who saw them run: just who was better, Majestic Prince or Arts and Letters?
Deep in Tradition
Truly, it is a challenge to overstate the excellence of Ribot. Bred by the legendary Italian breeding expert Federico Tesio, Ribot went a perfect 16 for 16 in his career, at distances from five to sixteen furlongs, establishing him as one of Europe's best horses of the 20th century. In 1961, he came to the United States to stand stud on a five-year lease at Darby Dan Farm, where he covered the mare All Beautiful in 1965. In February 1966, All Beautiful, in foal to Ribot, was sold at the William du Pont, Jr. estate auction for $175,000 to Elliott Burch, trainer for Rokeby Stable's Paul Mellon. On April Fool's Day, All Beautiful foaled a light chestnut colt with a splotch of white on his forehead. Mellon christened him Arts and Letters.
Belmont Stakes: Nine Great Horses That Had a Shot Headed to Belmont Park"An Auction for the Ages"Jon White: A Look at a Multitude of Numbers - 1/ST BET NEWSThe unusual, fair-weather rivalry played out in the shadow of Secretariat | Topics: Claiborne Farm, Preakness Stakes, Kentucky Derby, Secretariat, Paul Mellon | Thoroughbred Racing Commentary
As a breeder and owner, Paul Mellon was known for his refinement: his interests included fine art, philanthropy, and well-bred Thoroughbreds. In that vein, the aptly named Arts and Letters made his debut at Saratoga, an auspicious location for a debut race, but he didn't find the winner's circle until his fourth start at Belmont Park. In his final start for 1968, the colt moved up to stakes company, finishing fourth in the Laurel Futurity.
Four weeks after Arts and Letters's last race, Majestic Prince made his debut at Bay Meadows in San Francisco. Purchased as a yearling by Canadian oilman Frank McMahon, the Prince was now in the barn of former jockey turned trainer Johnny Longden. The colt's late debut was a result of bucked shins, swelling around the cannon bones in a horse's forelegs that required both time and gradual exercise to alleviate. The advantage of a late start out in the mild winters of California meant that Majestic Prince could keep racing into early 1969 as Longden prepared him for the Triple Crown trail. The Prince won his first race and then his second and kept the winning streak in the weeks leading up to the Kentucky Derby.
Arts and Letters opened his season in Florida, winning the nine-furlong Everglades Stakes before logging three second-place finishes in a row in the Flamingo and the Fountain of Youth Stakes, and then the Florida Derby. Mellon had his son of Ribot pointed toward the Kentucky Derby so they sent him to Keeneland for the Bluegrass Stakes as his final prep for the big dance. He had lost the Flamingo and Florida Derby to Top Knight, who was ranked #2 on the list of Derby hopefuls. Even after finishing second in those Florida prep races, Arts and Letters was #3 on the list. Winning the Bluegrass Stakes by fifteen lengths, though, made it seem like Arts and Letters probably should have usurped Majestic Prince at number one.
Johnny Longden wasn't worried though: "I saw that race and it was a good one, but it doesn't scare me any." Majestic Prince remained the top dog in the Derby field, but Arts and Letters couldn't be ignored. The Prince might have had a Triple Crown winning jockey as his trainer, but Arts and Letters had another legend on his back: Willie Shoemaker. And the Bluegrass gave the Shoe more insight into what the son of Ribot needed to perform at his best. Arts and Letters did not want to be rated, but preferred to run closer to the lead when the pace was slow.
In the Derby, though, the pace might be anything other than slow, especially if Majestic Price had a say in it
Two Times the Bridesmaid
Bill Hartack had been here before. He and Churchill Downs were old friends, as Hartack and found success in the Kentucky Derby four times already. Majestic Prince was his ninth mount in America's greatest race, one of four horses considered to have the goods to win the roses. If he succeeded, the Prince would be his fifth Derby victory, tying him with the legendary Eddie Arcaro.
Willie Shoemaker was supposed to be here again, joining Hartack in the jock's room at the Downs for another go at the roses. He was supposed to ride Arts and Letters, whose fifteen-length Blue Grass victory showed that the colt was starting to put it all together. Mellon's colt had taken his time getting here, but the son of Ribot was on the precipice of realizing that potential that had brought trainer Elliott Burch to point him here. However, they would do that without Shoemaker: before a race at Hollywood Park on April 30th, Shoemaker was mounting the filly Poona's Day when she spooked and then reared backward. Shoemaker fell off and then found himself under the frightened filly. His injuries included a fractured pelvis and ruptured bladder. He would be out of commission for months. Braulio Baeza got the mount on Arts and Letters and would ride him in all but one of his subsequent starts.
Who won the Belmont Stakes the year you were born?
Eight horses went to the post for the 1969 Kentucky Derby, with Majestic Prince on the outside, Dike next to him, and Arts and Letters in the third post. The doors had scarcely closed on the Prince's stall when the starter hit the button, releasing the field. Ocean Roar sailed out to an early lead, with Arts and Letters settled him behind him and then Majestic Prince in fourth. In the backstretch, Top Knight made a run at the front and took a one-length lead, but faded as the field entered the final turn. At the mile post, Baeza put Arts and Letters on the lead, but Hartack was looming with Majestic Prince, taking the lead as they entered the stretch with Dike on his heels. The Prince grounded out a half-length lead, but Arts and Letters rallied to challenge again as Dike caught up to them both. The three hit the wire together, Majestic Prince eking out the win by a neck over Arts and Letters, retaining his undefeated status.
Two weeks later, the Preakness was much of the same. The Derby winner and the runner-up were in adjacent stalls in Pimlico's starting gate and, at the start, the two came together, brushing up against each other as they jostled for position into the first turn. Entering that bend, Majestic Prince, who was on Arts and Letters's left, and Al Hattab, on his right, shifted positions, essential shutting Arts and Letters off. Baeza had to check his colt, likely costing him momentum. Majestic Prince hung off the leaders until the final turn while Arts and Letters ran in sixth. As they rounded into the final turn, Baeza gave Arts and Letters the cue to move, bearing down on the front-running Majestic Prince. And then they hit the stretch.
Majestic Prince held the lead by a length over Arts and Letters. Momentum moved the son of Ribot closer, but the Prince was not having it: he would not let Arts and Letters pass him. As Mellon's colt moved up inch by inch, the Prince reached down and found the resolve, the gumption to stay in front of his rival. At the wire, the only daylight between these two was Majestic Prince's refined head.
As Hartack and the Prince jogged back victorious, Baeza dismounted from Arts and Letters and claimed foul against the victor. He alleged that the squeeze from Majestic Prince and Al Hattab entering that first turn compromised Arts and Letters enough to merit a disqualification. The stewards took twenty-five minutes to review the film and decide. In the end, Majestic Prince's perfect record stayed intact and Arts and Letters came away with another second-place finish. Looking back years after that 1969 Preakness, Baeza said, "I should've won that Preakness. Majestic Prince fouled me twice. It took the stewards a very long time to decide. They never take horses down in the Preakness."
Third Time's a Charm
With three weeks between the Preakness and Belmont, Arts and Letters's trainer Elliott Burch elected to send his colt in the Metropolitan Handicap. The trainer had been here before: he had sent both Sword Dancer and Quadrangle in the same race before their Belmont victories. At a mile, the Met was the perfect springboard for Arts and Letters, who was progressing nicely through this late spring racing season. He had worked 1:11 for six furlongs at Pimlico, one of the fastest times at that distance during the whole meet. He was also getting closer and closer to beating Majestic Prince with each meeting between the two, who now stood head and shoulders above the rest of their division. Arts and Letters won the Metropolitan Handicap over a field of ten older horses in 1:34, only two-fifths of a second off the track record. Just nine days later, he was set to meet Majestic Prince for the Belmont Stakes.
Meanwhile, on the cusp of a run at the Triple Crown, Johnny Longden stirred up controversy when he suggested that Majestic Prince should forgo the Belmont Stakes for some time off. His colt had lost weight and was starting to show signs of the wear and tear of his undefeated career, suspecting that the colt's ankles were bothering him. Longden worried that the same ankle issue that had plagued his grandsire Native Dancer and then forced the early end to his sire Raise a Native's career was now rearing its ugly head as they prepared majestic Prince for the Belmont. Owner Frank McMahon knew that the odds were overwhelmingly against him ever being in this spot again so he overruled Longden and sent his colt to the post for a chance at immortality.
Twenty-one years had elapsed since Citation had become the eighth Triple Crown winner. Five other horses had won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes and then taken their bets shot at the Belmont only to fall short of the elusive third jewel. Did Majestic Prince have enough left in his tank to finish the job or would some other horse thwart his shot at glory? Did Arts and Letters have what it takes to play spoiler?
The field of six broke cleanly from the starting gate, but no one wanted to take the clear lead for the marathon mile and a half. Dike, who had finished third behind Majestic Prince and Arts and Letters in the Derby, reluctantly became the front runner and stayed there until Arts and Letters decided he had had enough. All on his own, without any prompting from jockey Braulio Baeza, Paul Mellon's son of Ribot grabbed the lead from Dike with a half mile to go, his lead a half-length, then three lengths, and finally five and a half lengths at the wire. Behind him, Majestic Prince passed Dike to finish second, never getting closer than a length to Arts and Letters throughout the entire twelve furlongs. The same stretch battle that had marked the Derby and the Preakness never developed. Arts and Letters had finally defeated Majestic Prince and spoiled another Triple Crown in the process. It would be another four years before a horse would finally end the drought.
The Changing of the Guard
With his winning streak broken, Majestic Prince went to the sidelines, a series of ailments keeping him off the track for the rest of 1969. Between those pesky ankles and osselets, calcium deposits on his ankle bones, Longden never could get the Prince sound enough for racing again. Early 1970 saw the four-year-old Majestic Prince retired permanently and sent to stud at Spendthrift Farm. Of the 187 winners and 32 stakes winners he sired, his best was Coastal, who won the 1979 Belmont Stakes and spoiled Spectacular Bid's try for the 12th Triple Crown.
With Majestic Prince's exit, Arts and Letters became the star of the three-year-old division. He followed up his Belmont Stakes victory with wins in the Jim Dandy, the Travers, and the Woodward Stakes before finishing out 1969 with a victory in the two-mile Jockey Club Gold Cup. At year's end, Majestic Prince and his nine wins in ten starts were not enough to beat Arts and Letters's long list of stakes races won that year. Paul Mellon's colt was named Champion Three-Year-Old, Co-Champion Handicap Horse, and Horse of the Year.
At four, Mellon had planned to send his champion to France to run in the Grand Prix de Saint-Cloud, but Arts and Letters stumbled at the start of the Californian Stakes and finished sixth after injuring his left foreleg. He was retired to stud at Greentree Stud in Lexington, where he went on to sire horses like Winter's Tale, Lord Darnley, and the 1980 Preakness Stakes winner Codex.
Just as memorable as his victories on the track might be the friendship with another Belmont Stakes winner he had off the track. At Greentree, his neighbor was 1968 Belmont Stakes winner (and Triple Crown spoiler) Stage Door Johnny. The two stallions would race each other in their paddocks, starting at the top of the hill and then racing down the fence line to the paddock gate. The two were virtually inseparable, so much so that when Greentree was sold to Gainesway Farm, the contract stipulated that the two stallions remain in their adjacent paddocks for the rest of the lives.
Stage Door Johnny passed away in 1996 with Arts and Letters following two years later.
Arts and Letters might not have had the dashing looks of Majestic Prince; he might not have made it into the Hall of Fame before his rival did (1988 vs. 1994). However, the son of Ribot and All Beautiful did have something that the Prince did not: the ability to run all day and the soundness to do just that over and over. Sometimes even the little guy gets his time to shine.

'Serpent-Handling' West Virginia Pastor Dies From Snake Bite
greeney2
I wonder how many die we never hear about? This guys Father died the same way. 🙄
By ARLETTE SAENZ | ABC News – 10 hrs agoEmailShare30PrintRelated Content'Serpent-Handling' West Virginia …
A "serpent-handling" West Virginia pastor died after his rattlesnake bit him during a church ritual, just as the man had apparently watched a snake kill his father years before.
Pentecostal pastor Mark Wolford, 44, hosted an outdoor service at the Panther Wildlife Management Area in West Virginia Sunday, which he touted on his Facebook page prior to the event.
"I am looking for a great time this Sunday," Wolford wrote May 22, according to the Washington Post. "It is going to be a homecoming like the old days. Good 'ole raised in the holler or mountain ridge running, Holy Ghost-filled speaking-in-tongues sign believers."
Robin Vanover, Wolford's sister, told the Washington Post that 30 minutes into the outdoor service, Wolford passed around a poisonous timber rattlesnake, which eventually bit him.
"He laid it on the ground," Vanover said in the interview, "and he sat down next to the snake, and it bit him on the thigh."
Vanover said Wolford was then transported to a family member's home in Bluefield about 80 miles away to recover. But as the situation worsened, he was taken to a hospital where he later died.
Jim Shires, owner of the Cravens-Shires Funeral Home in Bluefield, told ABC News that Wolford died Monday. Wolford's church, the Apostolic House of the Lord Jesus in Matoaka, will host a viewing Friday and a funeral service Saturday morning. Wolford will be buried at the Hicks Family Plot in Phelps, Ky.
Officials at the Panther Wildlife Management Area had been unaware of Sunday's event until they were notified by callers after the service.
"We did not know that this event was happening, and if we had known about it or if we had been asked for permission, permission would not have been granted," Hoy Murphy, public information officer for the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, told ABC News.
Hoy said West Virginia state park rules prohibit animals other than dogs and cats on the property.
While snake-handling is legal in West Virginia, other Appalachian states, including Kentucky and Tennessee, have banned the practice in public spaces.
Snake-handlers point to scripture as evidence that God calls them to engage in such a practice to show their faith in him. Mark 16: 17-18 reads, "And these signs shall follow them that believe: In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
Wolford told the Washington Post magazine in 2011 that he is carrying on the tradition of his ancestors by engaging in snake handling.
"Anybody can do it that believes it," Wolford said. "Jesus said, 'These signs shall follow them which believe.' This is a sign to show people that God has the power."
Wolford said watched his own father die at the age of 39 after a rattlesnake bit him during a similar service.
"He lived 101/2 hours," Wolford told the Washington Post Magazine. "When he got bit, he said he wanted to die in the church. Three hours after he was bitten, his kidneys shut down. After a while, your heart stops. I hated to see him go, but he died for what he believed in.
"I know it's real; it is the power of God," Wolford told the Washington Post Magazine last year. "If I didn't do it, if I'd never gotten back involved, it'd be the same as denying the power and saying it was not real."

The Pentecostals are generally some very frightening, weird people. I wouldn't go to a Pentecostal "tent revival" even if you paid me to.
Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man. - Albert Einstein
Stupid, ignorant people!
Agree..this is just plain dumb. May as well be juggling a 440 Volt line.
Orangetom
He just didn't believe enough..the big faker..got what was coming to him, I say..secret faithless sinner, I'm guessing(really though, regardless of who he was and his ways..etc...R.I.P. fellow human)
The poor sap handled a few snakes in the past and actually started believing in his own facade.... he was like.. "Wait a minute! Maybe I am infused with Godly powers! I'm the new Moses!"
Sickening.
What makes me so sad is that the Pentecostals get a lot of recognition and many Atheists believe they are bona fide representatives of the Protestant/Evangelical Christian Church.
They are a cult. Everything I've observed about them utterly and completely defines the word cult.
And here is something nobody talks about. These folks "speak in tongues" when they come under the "power of the Holy Spirit." This is an effort to emulate the events in the bible where the apostles were given the gift of tongues in the upper room during Pentecost. The apostles came under the power of the Holy Spirit, and spoke in tongues. Everything they spoke was understood by everyone standing around, although the people in the crowds spoke many different language. In other words, an apostle would say something and 1 person who spoke only Greek understood it in Greek, and another who only spoke Hebrew understood it in Hebrew. It was a legitimate miracle.
The "Pentecostals" make a mockery of the event by dishonestly pretending to come under the same power, and speak in "tongues." But here is the difference which reveals them as frauds. NO ONE understands what they are saying because they aren't even speaking a language. They speak gibberish. It's total bs.
And that's that. In my teens, I used to mumble gibberish and convulse just like these frauds, when me and my friends--for kicks--would hyperventilate while huffing nitrous-oxide out of whipped cream canisters.

I do believe the "gifts of the Spirit" are still active and available today. HOWEVER, I do not believe they operate as the "name it and claim it" crowd would like us to believe. I am fairly confident that just about 99 % of what we see out there is just plain bogus, scamming for money, or power, or both. Or, in the case of this poor guy, just a total lack in godly wisdom. Sickening or sad, I'm not sure which. Obviously, snake handling is not one of the gifts, but I believe it is the same worldly spirit that motivates the other charlatans.
"Sickening" in reference to the man believing his own lie was a poor choice of words and I should have more respect for the dead.
But it does turn my stomach because--if my hunch is correct--the guy started off as a pretender and a fraud. Then, when he realized he could actually handle a rattlesnake without getting bitten, he started to believe his own lie and got burned for it.

Was he a pretender and a fraud, or just plain deceived? I don't know. Sad in either instance. If he was a fraud, then it is sad that Christianity gets a black eye because of him. If he truly was a brother but deceived, then it is truly sad at a whole new level.

Will Dr Pepper Give SodaStream a Shot?
Oct 13th 2012 12:00PM
A popular dream among SodaStream (NAS: SODA) investors is that, one day, either Coca-Cola (NYS: KO) or PepsiCo (NYS: PEP) will make its syrups available for owners of the home-based beverage-maker system.
Well, that's not going to happen. The two pop stars would have too much to lose. Alienating their bottlers and retail distributors would be a brutal mistake. And they could potentially disrupt their own models, especially if consumers start taking to the fresher homemade versions of their soft drinks.
But what about Dr Pepper Snapple Group (NYS: DPS) ?
Yes, Dr Pepper has bottlers and distributors to protect. However, it doesn't have the healthy fountain sales where Coke and Pepsi have pretty much cornered the market. Perhaps more importantly, we now have a precedent for seeing the soda maker work with a home-based beverage maker.
Dr Pepper Snapple Group announced on Tuesday that it will team up with Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (NAS: GMCR) to put out Snapple-branded portion packs. As part of Green Mountain's relatively new Brew Over Ice line of brewed beverages that are served over ice as cool refreshments, Snapple will be available in K-Cup and Vue packs for Keurig brewers early next year.
Will there be some discord at Snapple's bottling operations? Are grocery stores going to be hesitant to stock the K-Cup and Vue portion packs next to Snapple bottles, especially since they will probably retail at much lower price points?
But now that Dr Pepper has gone this route with its premium bottled-tea brand, isn't SodaStream the next evolutionary step?
For Pete's sake
SodaStream already has a Dr Pepper knockoff. Among the 60 flavors that are currently available as SodaStream syrups, the Israeli-based company offers Dr. Pete and Diet Dr. Pete. There's no mistaking what the concentrate is trying to emulate.
"Compare to Dr. Pepper," reads the Dr. Pete label .
Why wouldn't Dr Pepper get in on that action? Offering Snapple for Keurig owners next year must have come after weighing the incremental sales over the detrimental impact, concluding that it's in the company's best interest to cater to the DIY crowd.
Why shouldn't it follow the same path with its carbonated products?
Maybe it can even ink an exclusive deal to keep other soda companies away, the way Starbucks (NAS: SBUX) did with Green Mountain by locking up its role as the only "super-premium" java brand on Keurig. Coke and Pepsi aren't coming -- and if they did, there's nothing stopping them from simply putting out their own syrups without SodaStream's blessing -- but it's better to be safe than sorry.
If not the Pepper, pour some salt
It doesn't even have to be Dr Pepper. The company is armed with plenty of popular pop brands. This is, after all, the company behind Canada Dry ginger ale and 7-Up.
It can always aim even lower. Offer up Hires or Stewart's as root beer syrups. Go with Sunkist orange soda or Sun Drop. It can dig even deeper into its portfolio and try to give its Venom line of energy drinks some more exposure.
After all, SodaStream isn't just a stateside play. More than half of its sales are currently taking place in Europe. Dr Pepper could benefit from SodaStream's global reach, especially in some areas including Sweden, where a quarter of all homes own a SodaStream machine.
In the end, somebody's going to do it. Just as SodaStream added Crystal Light and Country Time this summer, more brands will be coming to offset the company's in-house private-label approach.
Dr Pepper took a bold step with Tuesday's deal with Green Mountain. Now it's time to shake hands with SodaStream in a deal that would be even more of a win-win for the two companies.
SodaStream is blazing as a consumer-facing growth stock, and the company offers an intriguing opportunity for growth that may be harder to duplicate than you might think.

The set psalm this week is 149, although due to singers' commitments, the programme has been slightly rearranged. Psalm 105 supports the themes of the day so we rejoice in another appearance of the beautiful Confitemini Domino by Lassus. Spread the word.
For those interested, for the record or perhaps future reference, a comment on that set psalm. It's the penultimate psalm in the book, short and bitter-sweet. Four verses of praise, singing and dancing; four verses of wreaking vengeance on enemies; and in the middle, it appears, a good lie down!
Bedroom in ancient Greece, reimagined in the Villa Kerylos, Beaulieu. Nice place just to be joyful.
Does it imply that the people routinely slept in the Temple, … ritual prostration, praise at home as well as in the Temple, or… just joyful being in bed?
I like it too but I do not consider this verse, despite its central location, the key to the meaning of the psalm and would not have chosen it for the refrain.
Sing to God a new song; sing praise in the congregation of the faithful.
Here is an excellent example of the danger of taking a narrow view of one statement, expanding it to the point that it obscures the horizon. The literal reference is to the Exodus and the early opposed establishment of Israel, of course, which was a fight for survival.
As stated at the outset, you have the pleasure and inspiration of Confitemini Domino by Lassus and Psalm 105 this week. Again for the record, the alternatives are many and varied.
The Everett refrain has already been mentioned. PFAS has a nice responsive setting (149B) with a contemporary sound even though the music was written back in the 18th century.
Staying closer to home, our own song book at TiS 95 has a good setting by Sydney-born composer Christopher Willcock SJ, whose work we often enjoy in the singing of the psalms. The response is simple, and the stacked triads of the tone (the simple tune for the verses) is enticing. It only presents half the lectionary, however, and ducks that confronting second section discussed above.


Ireland's prime minister on Saturday hailed the culmination of "a quiet revolution" in what was once one of Europe's most socially conservative countries after a landslide referendum vote to liberalise highly restrictive laws on abortion.
Voters in the once deeply Catholic nation backed the change by two-to-one, a far higher margin than any opinion poll in the run up to the vote had predicted, and allows the government to bring in legislation by the end of the year.
"It's incredible. For all the years and years and years we've been trying to look after women and not been able to look after women, this means everything," said Mary Higgins, obstetrician and Together For Yes campaigner.
For decades, the law forced over 3,000 women to travel to Britain each year for terminations and "Yes" campaigners argued that with others now ordering pills illegally online, abortion was already a reality in Ireland.
Voters were asked to scrap the constitutional amendment, which gives an unborn child and its mother equal rights to life. The consequent prohibition on abortion was partly lifted in 2013 for cases where the mother's life was in danger.
The country's largest newspaper, the Irish Independent, described the result as "a massive moment in Ireland's social history".
Campaigners for change, wearing "Repeal" jumpers and "Yes" badges, gathered at count centres, many in tears and hugging each other. Others sang songs in the sunshine outside the main Dublin results centre as they awaited the official result.
The large crowd cheered Varadkar as he took to the stage to thank them for "trusting women and respecting their choices".
The campaign was defined by women publicly sharing their painful experiences of leaving the country for procedures, a key reason why all but one of Ireland's 40 constituencies voted "Yes".
Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, who campaigned to repeal the laws, had called the vote a once-in-a-generation chance and voters responded by turning out in droves. A turnout of 64 percent was one of the highest for a referendum.
"Today is an historic day for Ireland. A quiet revolution has taken place," Varadkar, who became Ireland's first openly gay prime minister last year, said in a speech after the vote.
The outcome is a new milestone on a path of change for a country which only legalised divorce by a razor thin majority in 1995 before becoming the first in the world to adopt gay marriage by popular vote three years ago.

Victoria Theatre
1014 Caroline Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Joe Vogel on August 17, 2018 at 10:30 am
The 1921 Fredericksburg city directory lists Pitts Leader Theatre at 915 Main Street. This web page says that Main Street was an aka for Caroline Street, so unless the lots have been renumbered since 1921 the Leader was just a few doors down from the site of the later Colonial Theatre. The only other theater listed in 1921 was the Opera House, corner of Main and Commerce (aka William) Street.
Foreveroceans on August 17, 2018 at 9:38 am
I noticed that the copy of the Battlefield above that Joe Vogel linked to, includes three different Pitts theatres. One is called the Leader. Does anyone know anything about this theatre? I'm able to find old newspaper ads, but no address.
Joe Vogel on July 28, 2018 at 4:18 pm
The building most likely occupies a double lot at 1012 and 1014, so either address would be accurate.
Mister_Comics on July 28, 2018 at 2:24 pm
Newspaper from 1985 has the address as 1012 Caroline St. But newspapers have been known to make mistakes.
Joe Vogel on April 28, 2013 at 7:44 am
The 1939 issue of Battlefield, the annual publication of Mary Washington College in Fredericksburg, had this courtesy ad from Pitts' Theatres, listing all of the twenty houses the chain had in operation that year.
Joe Vogel on April 27, 2013 at 8:16 pm
Pitts Theatres was headquartered in Fredericksburg, and this house most likely became the chain's flagship when it opened. It was one of four projects that were either underway, planned, or recently completed when a story about Benjamin Pitts appeared on this page of the August 14, 1937, issue of Boxoffice.
Photos of the Victoria and two of the other projects, the East End Theatre in Richmond and the Pitts Theatre (later renamed the South Theatre) in Emporia, show that they all had essentially the same facade design, differing only in their size (the Victoria was the largest.) The East End Theatre was designed by Richmond architect Henry Carl Messerschmidt, and it is likely that the Victoria and the house in Emporia were also his designs.
Mike Rogers on March 7, 2011 at 6:54 pm
It would play quality features then the next week book in the X -rated "MINX".There was a Colonial Theatre there,wonder if it under went a name change?Also the city had a Drive-in too.

Walked by this hulking,massive theater today.(my wife loves trolling the cutsie shops on Caroline St.)It still looks like a theater.Been trying to get inside for years.It has a large stage house,so must have been a great place at one time.

Simon Calls Itself a Victim in McDonald's Scam
Simon Worldwide Inc., the marketing firm tied to McDonald's game-promotions scandal that erupted last week, tried to quell any notion that its problems were widespread.
In a prepared statement last week, the Los Angeles-based company characterized itself as a victim of bad publicity because of the alleged acts of Jerome Jacobson, a security worker at Simon arrested along with seven others by the FBI.
Philip Morris USA and Kraft Foods both ended their marketing agreements with Simon last week, according to wire reports.
Those arrested are accused of stealing winning McDonald's meal game pieces and distributing them to associates who, in turn, recruited accomplices to claim the prizes illegally.
The FBI alleges that Jacobson and his recruits rigged the game promotions, which included McDonald's popular "Monopoly" and "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," and defrauded the fast-food chain of more than $13 million in prizes over the past six years. The recruits agreed to act as winners of various prizes and to share the winnings with Jacobson and his group, according to the FBI.
Simon's statement quoted Mark Devereaux, a Jacksonville, FL-based attorney who will head prosecution against Jacobson.
"We view Simon as a victim of one rogue employee and based on our investigation to date no other Simon employee was involved," said Devereaux, according to the statement. "Simon is not a subject or target of our investigation."

Rallies banned on December 6 anniversary of teen's killing
YIANNIS SOULIOTIS
TAGS: Crime
The Hellenic Police (ELAS) is expected to announce a ban on all public gatherings aimed at marking the anniversary of the December 6, 2008, killing of teenager Alexis Grigoropoulos by a police officer in downtown Athens.
The decision would come a few weeks after rallies were prohibited for the November 17 Polytechnic uprising, as part of measures designed to contain the spread of the coronavirus by preventing large public gatherings.
That ban was largely upheld, though some groups, including the Greek Communist Party (KKE), went ahead with their annual march, ensuring that participants wore masks and maintained physical distancing. There were also clashes with riot police who tried to disperse the crowds.
Under the provisions of the ban, anyone organizing a public gathering in violation of restrictions would face a fine of 3,000-5,000 euros and anyone participating in it of 300 euros.
Despite expectations for a ban on December 6, several groups have already announced gatherings to mark the killing of 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulous, who was shot and killed by a special guard of the police following a verbal altercation in the downtown Athens district of Exarchia.

A Rivalry Rekindled: The Offense
by Matthew Kory February 23, 2018
I don't like new things. I have ear hair, and my preferred type of clothing style for young people is formal well past the point of discomfort. I'm old, you see. So I remember the 2003 Red Sox. I remember Todd Walker, Shea Hillenbrand, a healthy Trot Nixon, the immortal rectitude of Casey Fossum, and of course, the last great year Pedro Martinez ever had. But more than any of that I remember Aaron Boone. His home run to end the Red Sox season in Game Seven of the ALCS was a gut punch so low I felt it in my ankles.
That offseason, the Red Sox famously brought in future Hall of Fame pitcher and future Hall of Fame-level asshole Curt Schilling to, as it turned out, co-front the rotation. They also brought in Mark Bellhorn, Terry Francona, and maybe even more importantly, Keith Foulke. It was a murderer's row of talent, from the front office on down. As it turned out, it was just barely enough to get past the Yankees in a second consecutive ALCS Game Seven. That was elation so high it lifted my ankles off the floor.
That two-year period where the Red Sox went from so close to winning to losing to so close to losing to winning represents certainly the most intense rivalry between two teams I've ever experienced or endured in my lifetime. And now, dear reader, 200 words into this, here is my point. The rivalry is back, my dudes! . It's back! The Red Sox and the Yankees are the two best teams in the division, two of the three best in the AL and probably two of the best five or six in baseball. This season, this 2018, is going to be another huge brawl of a season. They got Severino, we got Sale. They got Judge, we got Betts. They got Stanton, we got JD. So I thought it might be instructive to look and see how these two teams stack up against each other, a tale-of-the-tape, if you will, or even if you won't.
Let's start here. PECOTA. The PECOTA projections are here and they are spectacular. Though maybe not if you're the Red Sox. I've already detailed how the Sox individual projections maybe aren't as positive as we'd wish they were, but in the end and as we all know, games are won on the field not inside spreadsheets. Which is good, because PECOTA has the Yankees finishing seven games up on the Sox after winning 96 games. By any measure, 89 wins for the Red Sox would be an unsuccessful season, but that's where things stand as of now. FanGraphs does their own full season projections as well, and theirs are slightly more favorable to Boston (which makes them worth mentioning). They have the Sox at 93 wins, a game behind New York's 94. Better, but not what we're looking for.
So let's go deeper. Let's go position-by-position and see who has the advantage. I'll give you the names and their projected WARP in parentheses.
Gary Sanchez (4.4) vs. Christian Vazquez (1.7)
This is one of the Yankees' biggest advantages. Sanchez is, bizarrely as it is to say, perhaps as good a hitter as Judge. Vazquez is a fantastic defensive catcher, but at this point in his career, that's mostly all he is.
PECOTA: Yankees
Matt: Yankees
Greg Bird (1.5) vs. Moreland/Ramirez (combined 0.4)
We don't really know what Greg Bird is as a player yet, but he was as highly touted as Judge was prior to the 2017 season, so there's some nightmare fuel for Red Sox fans. He missed most of last season with an injury and didn't hit well upon return, but he's young and talented so much more is expected of him this season. Moreland is Moreland, and it's still unclear to me why the Red Sox felt it necessary with a glut of talent available on the market, to give him a two year contract. Best case he and Hanley combine to form the two sides of a successful platoon, so that could happen. Or Hanley could remember that he's actually a great hitter.
Matt: Push
Second Base
Gleyber Torres (0.1) vs. Dustin Pedroia (1.3)
Torres is yet another great Yankee prospect, but for now we don't know what he is at the major league level. Pedroia is an aging middle infielder coming off of surgery. So who knows on either of these guys.
PECOTA: Red Sox
Matt: Red Sox
Shortstop
Didi Gregorius (1.7) vs. Xander Bogaerts (1.4)
Ever since he's put on the pinstripes, Gregorius has continued to get better. Over a similar timeframe Bogaerts' numbers are going in the opposite direction. I'm still a Xander Believer though, more so than Gregorius who hacks at everything and seems like exactly the kind of hitter the juiced ball turns into something he isn't.
Third Base
Brandon Drury (0.4) vs. Rafael Devers (1.8)
Drury is Gregorius with a more boring name. He's got some pop but he doesn't take walks and he's not much beyond average defensively. That's a fine profile for a team with Sanchez, Judge, and Stanton, but it doesn't move the needle much either way. Devers might be the second best hitter on the Red Sox. He's that good.
Left Field: Giancarlo Stanton (3.9) vs. Andrew Benintendi (2.1)
Center Field: Aaron Hicks (1.2) vs. Jackie Bradley (1.0)
Right Field: Aaron Judge (4.0) vs. Mookie Betts (5.2)
We're doing outfield together because this is getting long. The funny thing to me is that the Red Sox are a team built on the strength of their outfielders. Their best hitter and maybe their second best hitter are both outfielders. Their best fielders are outfielders. This is an outfield-heavy team. And yet, up against the Yankees, the strength of this Boston team falls back. The Yankees won't be able to keep up with Boston defensively but they won't be bad there, and what ground they lose there will more than be made up for with their bats. Good lord, those bats. The "ifs" here are health. The Red Sox players haven't shown any predilection for missing games to injury, but Stanton and Hicks both have missed significant time over their careers.
Designated Hitter
Brett Gardner (1.8) vs. JD Martinez (2.9)
I don't actually know who is going to DH for New York, so I picked the best Yankee projection not included in the above sections and put him here. That's Gardner. But no leftover Yankee is going to hold a candle to J.D. Martinez in the hitting department.
I was going to do the pitching staffs as well, but this has already gone on too long. We'll leave that for next time. For now, the results. Counting the outfield as three separate positions, PECOTA has Yankees 6, Red Sox 3. I have Red Sox 4, Yankees 4 with 1 push.
Any way you slice this, and I'm sure Yankee fans would disagree with my analysis, it's close. That we know. PECOTA shows that. FanGraphs shows that. Our eyes show that. It's going to be another fun season. Buckle the heck up.
