I believe the theater that "Camden" is referring to is the Guild. It was a classy little art house operation (about 500 seats)that specialized in British films. It was very comfortable and posh during its heyday and had a lovely lounge one level below the theater in which coffee and small cakes were served to patrons waiting for the film to end. Like the Music Hall it used its trailer curtain effectively opening and closing between the news and the feature. One of its greatest and longest running hits was the documentary "A Queen is Crowned" that ran for six months and had long lines. Also "Gate of Hell," was another smash hit from Japan (played about six months or more)and is considered was the breakthrough film from Japan. Its breathtaking use of Technicolor and portait quality cinematography are landmarks in film making. The Boulting Brothers comedys from the U.K. were great favorites. The Guild enjoyed its greatest success during the 1940s and 1950s. Sometimes there was a long line waiting to get into the Guild while the Music Hall had immediate seating. Patrons arriving from 5th Avenue would get confused when they saw the line and had to be told to continue walking toward 6th Avenue to the Music Hall entrance.
Are you thinking of the Guild?
What was the name of that movie theatre that was in Radio City's building but around the corner, and smaller? I saw its last film, an Albert Brooks movie several years ago, and it's now a retail store. It's astonishing that a movie theatre at that superb location couldn't flourish. The chairs were threadbare and the concession stand only sold one relatively small and non-buttered container of popcorn, oddly, but when you stepped outside, you were right in the middle of the Rockefeller Center complex. Sensational location.
Simon much to my chagrin I must agree with you and yes rock(not pop) and rap have eradicated classical culture from society(pace those of you who love rock and rap. Even those of you who love them have to admit that we've paid a terribly high price culturally and socially their success. Now don't get all bent out of shape and be defensive and angry. It's just the natures of those beasts.)
The Music Hall for all intensive purposes is a white elephant. Just think that it was used for the Kerry camapign and it is about to house basketball games! And by that I mean you don't need the Music Hall's resources for much of anything that goes on there now.
There was a large middle class audience that enjoyed a classical ballet and classical overture along with the Rockettes and acrobats and didn't find it laughable or tedious.
But our society and culture have coarsened and been polarized 10 times over from when The Odd Couple played there in '68. The hit movies of that year were in addition to that film 2001, Lion in Winter and Funny Girl. Today they are Passion of the Christ, Farenheit 9/11, and Spiderman. Read it and weep.
Can we really fault the 1960's – '70's Music Hall management for insisting on "G" rated films even at the expense of profit? Certainly the result was the decline and near failure of the "Showplace of the Nation," but they were actually trying to uphold a standard. In the face of a cultural and business shift RCMH seems to have tried to keep to the high road. It's more than I can say for the managers who chopped their halls into mulit-plexes, went to porno or tore the halls down.
All of the super-palace class theaters (think Chicago's Uptown, Paradise, Marbro, New York's Capitol, Roxy, Center and many more) were financial balacing acts. We all held our breath when the Music Hall's future hung in that balance. RCMH, for all its lack of vision in production at least remains intact, doors open and protected from demolition. If the Christmas shows pander to a specific audience AND pay the bills to keep the greatest theater ever built open, I for one won't complain too much. As long as the hall stands, there's hope that someday, some brilliant showman will come along who can draw the thousands necessary to make the money to pay the orchestra, the organists, the ballet, the Rockettes, the ushers, the engineers, the stage hands, the projectionists, the costumers, the choreographers, the publicists and everyone else it takes to create magnificent, wonderful, outlandish spectacle at "popular" prices.
I remain optimistic.
Let's remember that many of the old movie palaces, at least those that were known as "presentation houses" were a phenomenon. For the first time (from the 1920s thru 1950s) middle class and poor people could experience "classical" music played by a symphony orchestra, world class ballet, the great arias and cantatas sung by a renowned singer and a choral ensemble, all with a film and at popular prices and in a city near you. It raised the consciousness of the nation and brought an unexpected shower of culture to people that could only imagine it through the radio. Even the theaters that catered to the "Big Bands" reached millions that could only hear them on the radio. Like it or not, the era has passed and the dumming down of America has had its effect. The pop/rap scene has virtually eradicated classical culture from our society. Only the elite and wealthy are privileged to enjoy it nowadays. The cost of producing a show that would please Vincent at the Music Hall would be prohibitive. As it is, tickets to the Christmas show now can run as high as $90. Ridiculous. My question: Does anyone know if there are any filmed records of complete Music Hall shows of the 1930s, 40s, & 50s? Also I've tried to find the archived records of the grosses of the New York Theaters on the web…without going to micro-film. Is that possible?
I remember telling a ticket seller there who had been there for years
(during the forties she had been at the Strand) that Harry and Walter was not going to be exclusive to the Music Hall in the metro area and she responded that that was it, it was all over and she was right.
Of course the Music Hall hastened its own demise by its threadbare and amateurish stage shows of the period. They got rid of the ballet company which was the backbone of the spectacles(Bolero, Rhapsody in Blue, the Undersea Ballet etc.) which was really the raison d'etre of the Hall and the Rockettes were cut back to 30.
The only (mediocre)spectacle today is at Christmas and I want to know why they got rid of the Leonidoff Renaissance Nativity(which even Pauline Kael liked!) and replaced it with a piece of Christian fundamentalist nonsense.
Thank you Will for the compliments. Remember that I was only at the Roxy (1956 – 57) and Music Hall (1958-59)during the last of the glory days, but also well after the days that you describe above. Yes, the ushers at both the Roxy and Music Hall were trained to exceptional standards to handle large crowds, assist patrons and help in keeping the theater running smoothly and efficiently. We had morning inspections and evening inspections. An in-house tailor shop regularly cleaned and repaired all uniforms and good grooming was essential. I was only 18 years old when I started at the Roxy on the evening and weekend shifts and went to college during the day. The most difficult thing about the job was standing erect and still for long periods of time. No slouching or leaning was tolerated. Neither was conversation with other ushers. Our assignments were given by the captain before we went on the floor. They included an aisle or foyer assignment, center rotunda or near the front lobby. Only doormen (you had to be over 6ft) worked the outer lobby and street. Most everyone preferred the orchestra as the upper mezzanine rarely had the action or flow of patrons. Our uniforms were season specific i.e. white jackets in summer and black jackets in winter. and included a white dicky and black bow tie. We carried flashlights and learned complicated hand signals that came in very handy when relaying messages across such a huge expanse. We had house phones on every level to use reach head ushers and asst managers when needed. The most important function was to keep tabs on seat availability and let those handling the lines (whether inside or out) know how many seats were available and in what location. There was always an usher at the auditorium entrance with a notebook counting the number of patrons (called a spill)that entered every 10 minutes. This gave us a clue as to when seats would become available after 3 hours. No patrons were ever seated during the overture but had to stay in the standing room section in rear of orchestra. Also no seating was allowed during the Nativity or Glory of Easter pageants. To answer you questions above: we did not have sport teams (bummer)or sing. But I did participate with my fellow ushers as escorts for the Rockettes (they rode on a float until we got to Macy's)the first time they appeared in the Thanksgiving Day parade. To digress just a bit: It was the movie studios that were responsible for the downward spiral of the Music Hall. The studios would not guarantee the Music Hall an exclusive run prior to regular release. The growing number of poor G rated films and the growing number of excellent films with R ratings also hurt.The 1960s introduced the mass multiple run openings across the country. I'm sure you've all read enough about that. And NO, I never dated a Rockette.
Simon – Thank you for putting down some memories. Your writing style and descriptions are exceptional. Can I pester you for more? Tell us about the training you got to be a Roxy and RCMH usher. Was there any of the military bravura that Ben Hall describes in his book? Were there sports teams? Did RCMH play the Capitol? Did you ever sing in the glee club? Or was all that just publicitiy hype?
Also, what were the accomodations like for the ushers? Is there a vast hidden suite of rooms? Where is it? Did you ever date a Rockette? Was the Center Theatre still there when you were working? Did you ever get sent there?
Details! Untold millions are sitting here eagerly waiting to hear every detail from someone who was there!
Correction: Previous sentence should read: Also no short or cartoon ever started WITHOUT the traveler opening and closing. Sorry.
I believe the decline of the Music Hall during the 1960s is well documented. HOwever, those of us who worked there, as well as at the Roxy, will never forget what a class operation they were from managment to the service personel. How a film was presented was of paramount importantance. A patron never saw a blank screen. The film (or studio logo)would begin as the contour curtain lifted and the traveler curtain opened simultaneously. The contour curtain would begin its descent timed perfectly to hit the stage as the film ended. Also no short or cartoon ever started with the traveler opening and closing. Also the organist would pick up on the last note off the sound track and then seque into his medley. If's fun to remember and hear the responses.
Yes Simon, I remember the coming attractions made exclusivly for RCMH,I used to think it lent a certain amount of class to the show. I also remember Radio City Music Hall news which was a compulation of the best stories from two or three different news reels.The news began with a wonderful RCMH opening folowed by the best clips from News Of The Day, Warner Pathe and Movietone news. I wish clips were available of those wonderful previews and news openings.
Simon L how do you know all this great stuff? Did you attend the MH during this era?
I think that during the 70's 2001 made below 90 grand. Also during the 70's films were kept well past their expiration date. Airport played well after its grosses dropped and I worked there during Robin and Marian which seemed to play forever which even before and during Easter week played to empty houses. After that was 1776 and The Blubird where you could have shot off cannons and not harmed a soul(you've never seen an emptier and sadder theater than the Music Hall in the mid 70's.)An old man there who had been a Roxy usher in the late 20's told me that The Odd Couple had as many people on its last day after 14 weeks as it had on opening day. And a ticket seller told me it was the last film where the pressure was unrelenting. How in the world did things change so fast?
I am very sorry to hear from the previous comments that the wonderful and 'signature' CONTOUR CURTAIN no longer works as some seem to remember it. I wonder if some people are not confusing it with the AUSTRIAN FOLD curtain, where, unlike the Contour, there are continuous horizontal swag folds from one side of a vertical panel to the other, from top to bottom even when the curtain is fully descended. This Austrian Fold type can be rigged to either rise entirely as does a typical 'drop curtain', or it can also be rigged to gather up from the bottom as does a Contour type. A true Contour Curtain, on the other hand, looks very like a standard drop ('guillotine') curtain when at full descent, but when opening it gathers up from the bottom to form swaged folds similar to the Austrian, but only for a ways up from the bottom, the distance depending upon how far it is raised to fully ascended position. It is also quite possible that the controls for the Contour in RCMH are now starting to malfunction with age, and the owners are reluctant to put the money into repairing them. For those interested in this singular Contour Curtain rigging method, there is a very rare photo of the control panel for it showing the 13 lines of peg switches completing the X-Y coordinates to achieve the desired pattern and height once raised, on page 23 of MARQUEE magazine of the Theatre Historical Soc. of 3rd Qtr. 1999, along with a great deal of other technical info about RCMH by Lyman C. Brenneman. Let's hope that at least this signature feature of the opulent opening days can be retained in at least this one theatre where it is so much a part of the unique experience.
To obtain any available Back Issue of either "Marquee" or of its ANNUALS, simply go to the web site of the THEATRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA at:
www.HistoricTheatres.org and notice on their first page the link "PUBLICATIONS: Back Issues List" and click on that and you will be taken to their listing where they also give ordering details. The "Marquee" magazine is 8-1/2x11 inches tall ('portrait') format, and the ANNUALS are also soft cover in the same size, but in the long ('landscape') format, and are anywhere from 26 to 40 pages. Should they indicate that a publication is Out Of Print, then it may still be possible to view it via Inter-Library Loan where you go to the librarian at any public or school library and ask them to locate which library has the item by using the Union List of Serials, and your library can then ask the other library to lend it to them for you to read or photocopy. [Photocopies of most THSA publications are available from University Microforms International (UMI), but their prices are exorbitant.]
Note: Most any photo in any of their publications may be had in large size by purchase; see their ARCHIVE link. You should realize that there was no color still photography in the 1920s, so few theatres were seen in color at that time except by means of hand tinted renderings or post cards, thus all the antique photos from the Society will be in black and white, but it is quite possible that the Society has later color images available; it is best to inquire of them.

Another bit of trivia about RCMH: trailers of the next attraction were shown, however, there was a one minute "announcement" of the next attraction shown on the screen in which a few lines describing the film would appear over a grey background with live organ accompaniment. It began "The Radio City Music Hall is proud to present as its next distinquished attraction the world premiere of XXXXX. Also on the great stage a new spectacle produced by (either) Leon Leonidoff or Russell Markert. Also the latest Walt Disney cartoon would get a spot on the program if the film were not more than 110 minutes long. One more bit of info: During the 1950s, a film had to gross $88,000 in the four day period from Thursday thru Sunday to warrent a holdover. A good opening week was around $145,000 and would suggest a four week run. The only film I know that didn't break the $100,000 barrier during its opening week in the 1950s was "The Barretts of Wimpole Street." It grossed a paltry $85,000 for the entire week, but it was held for 2 weeks, the miniumum run in that decade.
The curtain at the hall does appear to raise differently as well, I remember visiting the stage being shown the many motors required to raise her. As we know the curtain can be raised in many different ways it all depends on the ways the motors are programmed. I don't like the way she raises now, it seems to eliminate most of the waterfall effect and it goes up all at once. Even in the full up position it's almost a straight horizontal line across.
Simon L- Knights of the Round Table was the first cinemascope at the Music Hall. Sorry to hear about the new curtain as it used to have many vertical folds. But then the place is no longer Radio City Music Hall(and Rockefeller Center is now a 5th Av Paramus Park.)
Bravo to Bob Ketler's home page salute to RCMH. Here are a few very minor corrections. Except during Christmas and Easter week when the doors would open 7:45 am, and on one Christmas occasion at 6:45 am (due to the length of "Sayonara" and to allow 5 shows), the normal house opening was at 10:15 am with the feature beginning at 10:30 on weekdays. Last stage show was always between 9:15 and 9:30, except on Sundays which strangly had a late stage show around 10:15. Also let's get the seating capacity right. Both the Roxy and RCMH claimed to have 6,000 seats when in reality the Roxy had 5,800 and the Music Hall 5,945. But whose counting right? Has anyone noticed that the new contour curtain (since the magnificent restoration) hangs rigidly on the stage floor and only when it begins to rise does it show the folds. I understand the process, but I remember that the original gold curtain still displayed a hint of a swagger…or am I dreaming. Oh yes, the prices. Throughout the 1950s, or until "Rosemarie" opened as the first Cinemascope film and they raised the admission price by 10 cents the prices were as follows: Weekdays Opening to noon .80; noon to 6pm 1.25 and 6 to closing 1.50. Saturdays .95 to noon; 1.25 to 3pm and 1.50 to close; Sundays 1.25 from opening to 1pm and 1.50 1pm to close. Reserved seats (1st mezzanine)1.80 for matiness and 2.40 evenings and holidays. Reserved seat "subsciption" tickets were also available during the first two weeks of every show. This was very popular among the elite during the 1940s and 1950s and the crowd in the first mezzanine looked like the grand tier set at the Met.
I remember seeing Fantasia in 1978 and was awed by the size of the screen. When I saw special showings of Bonnie and Clyde, Psycho, Jaws, The Sting in the late 90's, while the screen was big, I wasn't awed. Was it a smaller screen than what RCMH used?
Oh my gosh, go right now to Bob Ketler's home page and read the magnificent article he wrote on RCMH. I also want to thank Simonl for the walk thru memory lane. I attended just about every new show from the mid 1950s thru the mid 1970s We always tried to see the stage show in the front row behind the lighting guy and then rush up to the top mezzanine to watch the movie.We would sit right under the projection booth. What I would not give to go back there and see one more movie and a stage show for a buck twenty five.
For anyone who might be interested…for about seven years I have had a page on AOL devoted to a salute to Radio City Music Hall. I change photos several times a year. The photos are mainly taken from various souvenir booklets that I purchased beginning in the mid 1940's. The text is my appreciation of this incredible theater. Several years ago I received a wonderfully nice letter from someone who worked there. She thanked me for feeling about the theater as she herself did. The link is: http://hometown.aol.com/ctrobert8/MainPage.html
Yes, Leibert was a supurb musician, but he was not alone in keeping the break pealing with the sounds of the great organ. Ashley Miller and Raymond F. Bohr Jr. alternated (as well as in concert)with him. Jim: I am a member of THS and have gone on about six conclaves.
One should not forget to mention Dick Leibert, one of the original organists at Radio City Music Hall. He played there for 40 years. Mr. Leibert also recorded many albums, many on the RCMH organ, for RCA. What a superb musician.
I hope that SimonL decides to send a copy of that photo of him in his usher's uniform to the Theatre Historical Society of America at: 152 N. York Rd., Suite 200, Elmhurst Il, 60126-2806 They also have a web site that might be of interest to you: www.HistoricTheatres.org They have a wonderful painting of the ROXY right on their site if you click on the link to it, and possibly they will be willing to trade a cvolor copy of that for your photo(s). By donating such copies, you make sure that posterity knows of your achievements and the glories of the long-lost ROXY, and any other theatres you woked at. Do send a copy of your memories here too! Thank you for them.
As a former RCMH usher (1958 – 1959), I am delighted to find so many fans of the theater out there, notwithstanding those with such authoritative knowledge…technical and otherwise. One issue that was never brought up, but is interesting to consider is why huge single screen theaters are no longer practical for films is this: We all know how most films are shown today: i.e. not continuous, but rather with an admission to one particular showing. The theater is emptied and swept between performances in most multi-plexes. In the days of the movie palaces, such as RCMH, a 3,000 to 6,000 seater would have patrons entering and exiting at any time from morning to last show. Except for road shows, patrons would not tolerate being kept from entering a theater (except when SRO) at their discretion even if the film was a mystery and in the middle. At RCMH, it took a full hour with four cashiers going (sometimes five plus the reserved seat window)to fill the 6,000 seats on those days (especially during holidays)when the theater expected a "tight initial" (house filled before the start of the first feature). The Music Hall, as did others with thousands of seats to fill, only had a five to ten minute (maximum)break between film and stage shows. Except for the lucky few hundred patrons waiting in the lobby, those in the street line had little hope of getting into the theater before the start of the feature. It didn't matter to them. We have changed our movie going habits and would not tolerate a film starting before we were in our seats. Except at the Paramount on Times Square during the 1940s(where police actually helped clear the theater of screaming teens who wanted to stay all day), the big theaters counted on a constant flow of traffic. I remember when "All About Eve" opened at the Roxy, the managment tried to seat patrons only during the 30 minute break between shows. It failed because irate patrons were unwilling to wait if there were empty seats inside. Also the problem of getting 6,000 people into their seats in 30 minutes proved next to impossible. That lasted one week and the film went back to continuous showings. Another interesting point is that the Music Hall was not designed for standing lobby crowds (only a couple of hundred would fit without blocking critical exits from the auditorium). The theater was obliged to keep most patrons in the street. However, once the line moved it moved swiftly and 1,500 people could be inside within fifteen minutes. In contrast, The Roxy could hold 2,000 people in the rotunda. That is also why you rarely saw a street line at the Roxy. (I also ush-ed at the Roxy from 1956 – 1957). One of my favorite assignments as an RCMH usher to to do a spot check of number of patrons at the Roxy when a new film opened. I suspect it had to do with a bit of rivalry but also to see if the grosses reported in Variety were credible based on attendance. My wife loves my picture in my RCMH uniform. I also had a thrill watching a FOX newsreel on TCM one night when they showed the opening night crowd of "Anastasia" (ROXY). And there I am…immortalized and standing proudly in the rotunda as the stars pass by.

Monthly Photo Challenge Winners
We are so excited to announce the winners of our first Monthly Photo Challenge. The theme of the month was "Love" and we got some great entries. First prize of the $75.00 Red River Paper gift certificate goes to Jeff Reeder for this wonderful capture. The composition, the expressions on the couple's faces, and the mirroring of the heart on the wall with the pose of the couple all come together to tell a beautiful story.
Second place and a $35.00 Red River Paper gift certificate goes to Jojo Luc. This looks like one of those "decisive moment" photographs. The kiss is spontaneous and the boy looks a little unprepared for it. The reds are vibrant and saturate and the lines of the girl leaning in in relation to the lines of the gate give it a great balance.
A big congratulations to both of our winners!
That being said, we have announced the new theme for March…
What is renewal? Well, dictionary.com has this to say about renewal:

I love that the monkey and the elephant both come in pink and blue - as the mom of boy/girl toddlers who share a room (which is SO hard to decorate for!), that always makes me smile. :o)

A New Exhibition Recalls Vintage Dior Beauty
Before celebrities posed and pouted for fashion and beauty campaigns, designers turned to illustrators to create compelling advertisements that would spark the imagination of the buying public. In a new exhibition at London's Somerset House, the iconic work of artist René Gruau, who collaborated with Christian Dior on some of the house's most famed campaigns, takes center stage. Dior Illustrated: René Gruau and the Line of Beauty celebrates Gruau's provocative bold, exaggerated brushstrokes and fluid figures, which perfectly captured "the energy, the sophistication, and daring of Dior," according to John Galliano. The house's current designer designed a special dress in homage to Gruau that's included in the exhibition. Also on view are more than 40 vintage perfume bottles, original sketches, magazine covers, and posters from the Italian artist's 1940′s-to-1960′s prime. Here, curators Claire Catterall and Vincent Leret chat with us over e-mail about the exhibition, which opens tomorrow and runs through January 9, 2011.
Why did you decide to launch an exhibition of Gruau's work now?
Catterall: "There has never been a major showcase of René Gruau's work in the U.K.; in fact, his last big show was in 1997 in the Musée de la Publicité at the Louvre, Paris. This is the first time so many of Gruau's works have been showcased in one place. Also, Gruau seems to be experiencing a bit of 'moment' in London. Serendipitously, as well as being included in the Design Museum's fashion illustration exhibition Drawing Fashion, the Fashion Illustration Gallery in Mayfair is also holding a show of his work—illustrations for the cover of International Textiles magazine."
Tell us how Gruau and Christian Dior first met and became friends.
Leret: "René Gruau and Christian Dior's great friendship dates back to the 1930′s, when both men met on the fashion desk of the French newspaper Le Figaro. They came from the same bourgeois backgrounds, shared the same childhood dreams, and had a very similar upbringing. They both had a strong maternal influence; their mothers were both elegant women from the Belle Époque era who were inspired by their mutual love of luxury and refinement. Each recognized in the other a kindred spirit."
When did the two first collaborate professionally?
Leret: "Their friendship deepened during World War II and the hardships of the years under German occupation. With his family, Christian Dior started growing vegetables in the South of France, and he regularly sent baskets of fruits and vegetables to his friends who were in financial difficulty, including Gruau. When Christian Dior launched his first haute couture collection, the famous New Look in 1947, Gruau was extremely supportive. Having become a renowned fashion illustrator himself, he played a key role in the success of his close friend and confidant."
What distinguished Gruau from other illustrators of his day?
Leret: "Gruau invented for Dior a completely new advertising style, which was sophisticated, daring, and humorous, all at the same time. He was the first one to break free of the product and rely on symbolic interpretations and enduring motifs—rather than simply drawing the perfume bottles themselves. By doing so, he created a very powerful and iconic visual identity for the House of Dior."
What's a particular highlight or favorite work in the exhibition?
Leret: "When Dior launched his first fragrance, Miss Dior, in 1947, he naturally turned to Gruau to create a series of drawings to illustrate the perfume, which is included in the exhibition. Dior instructed Gruau: 'Do exactly what you want; we speak the same language."
Do you think there's a resurgence of fashion illustration lately?
Catterall: "Yes, there is renewed interest in it as an art form and it is appearing more and more in editorial—both in print and online. Generally, there has been a heightened interest in graphics and illustration recently; we see it much more now in magazines, newspapers, commercials, and in album cover art."
Why hold the exhibition in London as opposed to Paris where Dior is based?
Catterall: "Gruau loved 'English elegance,' and he loved the eighteenth century—both things he shared with Christian Dior, who borrowed the famous Dior black and white houndstooth motif from English tailoring. We thought, what better place to exhibit his work than in one of London's finest eighteenth-century buildings?"
The exhibition also includes the works from current illustrators who are inspired by Gruau. How did you narrow down the list?
Catterall: "We chose relatively well established names like Jasper Goodall, with newcomers such as Sarah Arnett and Richard Kilroy. Each has a very different style of illustration, and each conveys a different understanding of Gruau. Their work is testament to how Gruau's work can influence and continues to resonate with contemporary illustrators today."

A Rogers Park man is accused of shaking and assaulting his pregnant live-in girlfriend because he was hungry and wanted her to come home.
Lucas Campuzano, 22, of the 1600 block of W. Sherwin, was arrested Saturday and charged with domestic battery and assault, court records show. Cook County Judge Adam Bourgeois Jr. set his bail at $50,000.
Campuzano's alleged victim, who is nine months pregnant, told police he grabbed her aggressively in the 7200 block of N. Ashland and shook her multiple times trying to get her to come home, according to court records.
She also said he pulled her closer and, using a closed fist, wedged his hand into her pregnant stomach. She said he used a lot of pressure and caused a lot of pain while threatening to injure their unborn child if she didn't go with him.

Selena Gomez's Stars Dance Tour stopped in Salt Lake on Thursday to support the singer's first solo album.
The opening acts, YouTube sensation Christina Grimmie and boy band Emblem 3, stoked a crowd that was already wild.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Gomez opened with "Bang Bang Bang" from her last album, recorded with her band Selena Gomez & the Scene. Her riveting performance included old and new favorites. Songs such as "Naturally" and "Love You Like a Love Song" flowed between new hits "Come & Get It" and "Love Will Remember."
She also performed "Who Says," a crowd favorite that inspired young girls to sing along as loudly as they could. She capped the performance with "Slow Down" from the album that inspired the tour's name.

The San Diego Chargers are preparing for a big game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon, where they will be looking to avoid elimination from the playoffs. However, while the Chargers are hoping to continue their postseason run, there is one team that would like to see them ousted so they can take the next step in their head coaching search.
According to reports, the Detroit Lions view Chargers offensive coordinator as the top candidate for their head coaching vacancy, but they cannot have any more discussion until he is no longer coaching in the playoffs.
Not only to the Lions have interest in Whisenhunt, but a few other teams around the league do as well.
From Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network:
#Lions view #Chargers OC Ken Whisenhunt as a top candidate. They have competition. #Redskins, #Vikings all shown interest. Now, #Titans too
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 5, 2014
Whisenhunt is an offensive mind who would likely have a field day with the likes of Calvin Johnson and Reggie Bush on the roster, so it is understandable to see why the Lions would like to make that hire.
Of course, they are currently at a stand still, so we will have to see if any further developments take place.

Discuss: Blackhawks pound Red Wings 7-1
Mar 31, 2013, 3:06 PM EDT
A month ago, the Chicago Blackhawks squeaked by the Detroit Red Wings via a shootout. This Sunday, it was a blowout instead, with Chicago winning 7-1. Let's get to the talking points.
- The Red Wings are parked in seventh place in the West with 39 points (17-13-5 in 35 games). How worried should Detroit be about missing the playoffs?
- Speaking of which, should Detroit look to the trade market to bolster its banged-up lineup? While Johan Franzen came back today, Henrik Zetterberg was an injury scratch and Mikael Samuelsson's return to action didn't last very long.
- Pivoting on the trade deadline question: what kind of pieces should the powerhouse Blackhawks ponder? Is Mark Streit really the guy that might push them over the top?
- Would Detroit be a better first-round matchup for Chicago than the St. Louis Blues? What about other teams that are lingering around the eighth spot area like the San Jose Sharks, Dallas Stars, Edmonton Oilers, Nashville Predators or Columbus Blue Jackets?
- How good is Brandon Saad, really? He's been red-hot lately.

WIN Detergent Review
Shortly after posting my review of ProWash laundry detergent, I received an offer to review WIN high performance sport detergent, another product targeted at the apparently much sought-after demographic of sweaty, stinky athletes. I agreed to the review (of course), but with two laundry-related posts in the space of six weeks, I fear that I might be morphing into the Martha Stewart of endurance bloggers - so let's just knock this one out quickly and move on.
I won't bother to retell the story of why I defer all smell-related assessments to my superhero wife – that's in the ProWash review if you need a reminder. I'll just tell you that I've been using Win (sometimes written in all caps on the website, other times not; I'm not positive which one they've officially settled on) for the past few weeks in the same manner that I used the ProWash, with similar results.
WIN makes my workout clothes smell great after going through the wash. Under the circumstances, there was an obvious question that needed to be asked, which led to the following exchange between my wife and me:
Wife: I used that WIN stuff with this load of clothes.
Me: How did it work?
Wife: Pretty well, I think.
Me: Better then the ProWash?
Her: Um … I can't really tell.
I guess the take home message is that there is more than one product on the market specifically designed to clean athletic clothing. Whether you can actually tell a difference between any of them is up for debate; if my bloodhound of a wife couldn't distinguish them, I'm betting that you won't notice a huge discrepancy between brands either. So you'll need to weigh some other factors in your decision-making process.
How about marketing? While the ProWash website features testimonials from satisfied everyday athletes (such as, ahem, me), WIN promotes itself as the official detergent of the US Olympic Team – which begs a couple of questions: 1) Do Olympic athletes smell worse than regular schmoes like us? Because I've been on some post-race buses where the lingering funk was almost deadly. I can't imagine what world-class funk would do to me. Also, 2) Was there a competition for the Olympic Team detergent? Wouldn't it have been cool to see some kind of televised contest between ProWash, WIN, and that hyperkinetic OxyClean dude? We could have called the show Laundromat Idol, and I would even have volunteered my wife to be the Kara DioGuardi of the judges panel.
OK, so maybe marketing isn't the deciding factor (although, since I mentioned it, the WIN website has some pretty cool press coverage in its buzz section) – so let's break it down by cost. In the ProWash review, I linked to the best price I found: three 24-oz bottles for $23 at Amazon.com. WIN is also sold in bulk on Amazon at eight 21-oz bottles for $46 – so by volume, it looks to be a better bargain (that's 27 cents per oz for WIN compared to 32 cents for ProWash, for any of you math-challenged readers out there).
Finally, by now there have been enough of these detergent reviews on various blogs for one additional message to register: there's really no excuse for your workout clothes to reek anymore. Try one of the products I've reviewed on this site, or take the suggestions of people who have left comments on the review posts (my reviews or anybody else's), and take it upon yourself to do away with the exercise funk once and for all.
If you're like me, with a spouse at home who has long suffered with your stinky self, chances are that she'll be grateful to you for making the switch.

Boy Crisis - Tulipomania
Boy Crisis was a Brooklyn based electro pop quintet consisting of members Tal Rozen, Alex Kestner, Victor Vazquez, Lee Pender, and Owen Roberts.
In 2008, The Guardian described the group as "the hottest electronic pop group to emerge from America since, ooh, MGMT at least". The band's debut album was scheduled to hit the stores in 2009 via B-Unique Records. However, Tuliopomania never came out. Instead, internal problems with the record label put an end to the project.
Boy Crisis is no more, but the music lives on. As Tulipomania was never made available for sale, you can have it here for free.

Kool A.D. - That Other Other Shit EP - 2008 release
More mysterious than a vinyl from Fierce or Dr. Becket, Kool A.D. is an enigma that continues to surprise me. What other rapper can possibly respond to an interview while rolling a joint for hours and clothed with a girl dress? Who else can make weird and hilarious remixes with improbable titles such as "I think I just saw a Dolphin"? And who the hell makes references to Guy Debord in a rap video?
Yeah. A guy like this has to be interesting.
In addition to his intriguing sound cloud page and his totally absurd/meaningful (you choose) short films that would make Quentin Dupieux deadly jealous, Kool A.D. has also released countless enigmatic projects. As long as you are a little curious, some of them deserve your ear.
That is the case of « That Other Other Shit – EP ». Produced by Kool A.D., Ben Sinclair, Powmod and Lil Ben, this 2008 release is way more than a joke and has some pretty interesting tracks. Give it a listen and make your own opinion.
Heems - New York City Cops
In order to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of The Strokes' debut album Is This it, Stereogum asked some indie artists to cover each track of the album. Heems did probably one of the best tribute songs.

Secrets and Wives: A British Atheist Spends Time Among Mormon Polygamists
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The following is reprinted with permission from Religion Dispatches. You can sign up for their free daily newsletter here.
RD: What inspired you to write Secrets & Wives: The Hidden World of Mormon Polygamy? What sparked your interest?
Sanjiv Bhattacharya: I'm one of those unbelievers who's obsessed with religion, so moving to America from England was a bargain. The Bush presidency was underway, the Christian right were on the march, and the country was going down the tubes so fast you could hear a sucking sound.
But I was only peripherally aware of Mormons. I remember the polygamist Tom Green appearing on Jerry Springer once with his harem, but it wasn't till Jon Krakauer's book Under The Banner of Heaven came out that I started paying attention. And right on cue, Warren Jeffs, the prophet of the FLDS, went off the deep end in epic style -- he banned laughter and the color red and set about building a giant temple in Texas with the FBI in hot pursuit. There are few things I find more entertaining than a cult leader going clear off the reservation.
I've always been drawn to outsiders and fringe groups -- people who stand apart from the mainstream. So the mere existence of a subculture of 40,000 fundamentalists living outside the law in America struck me as tremendously exciting. Not to mention the fact that their faith is American -- t could scarcely be more so -- and yet they live in hiding, worshipping at secret churches with scores of secret wives. I couldn't resist.
I wrote a few articles and made a documentary, all of which focused on Warren Jeffs and the FLDS, as most media coverage still does. But it soon became clear that the FLDS was just one group. There were 30,000 other polygamists out there: a broad diaspora of smaller churches and independents that remained discreetly marbled into the populations of Utah and Arizona especially. What were they hiding? Was hiding really necessary? Would they open up to me if I asked nicely? That's how Secrets & Wives began.
What's the most important take-home message for readers?
There are a few. That Utah is bubbling over with self-declared prophets and messiahs -- the Mormon religion is strong potion. That the illegality of polygamy is a boon to cult leaders who wish to control their flocks and commit sex crimes with impunity.
And most of all, that not all polygamists are alike. Attitudes seem to have shifted lately from suspicion to sympathy; many now see polygamists as victims of persecution who ought to be left alone. But this is as insufficient as the opposite view that polygamists are sinister deviants who must be prosecuted. The truth is more complex. Certainly, some groups like The Order, did strike me as sinister -- the practice of incest, for instance, or of changing surnames to mask identity, not to mention the allegations of child labor and underage marriages. No question about it, there are shocking stories of abuse within fundamentalism. But equally, some groups are comparatively benign and more inclined to open up to outsiders.
I believe it's time to decriminalize polygamy and bring these people out of the darkness. Too many awful things happen in the dark.
Anything you had to leave out?
Some stories were cut for length. The story of a liberal businesswoman from the Bay Area for instance, who fell in love with a younger fundamentalist carpenter and became his second wife. Her mom was a hippie and now she lives in an exclusively polygamist community in Arizona. That's one of them.

CharterX Acquires Wyvern, Launches New Service
CharterX, one of the largest online charter facilitators, disclosed today that it has acquired air charter audit firm Wyvern Consulting of Palmyra, N.J. Together the companies will offer a new service called Safety Intelligence, "an information system intended for charter buyers," to include accident/incident data and operational standards of charter providers compared with those of other operators, as well as Wyvern's recommended standards. Through Portland, Ore.-based CharterX, charter operators and brokers can market aircraft and trips, and charter customers are able to check pricing, aircraft characteristics and availability, as well as book flights. According to CharterX founder and president Jim Betlyon, about 300 operators worldwide are marketing charter aircraft through the company's network. Betlyon said Wyvern will continue to perform "separate" and "unbiased" safety evaluations. He told AIN that non-Wyvern-recommended operators will not be excluded from the CharterX network. However, CharterX does notify customers whether or not an air-taxi operator is Wyvern recommended.

Las Cruces, NM — New Mexico State sophomore guard Daniel Mullings was selected to represent his native Canada during the 2013 World University Games in July. Mullings becomes the first Aggie player to compete in the University Games since Martin Iti played for Australia in 2007. The University Games take place in Kazan, Russia from July 6-17.
Mullings was voted to the second team All-WAC, after he supplied 14.7 points, 2.6 assists and 2.6 steals per game in conference games in 2012-13. He also earned all-defensive team honors. Mullings led the WAC in steals with 47 in league games, and he ranked sixth in scoring. He is the first Aggie to collect all-defensive team honors since 2008. Last season, Mullings was a WAC All-Newcomer team selection. He helped guide the Aggies to a WAC Tournament title in 2013 and a spot in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

There was a few time tables for RG3's recovery after the knee injuries he suffered last season against the Baltimore Ravens and later on in the Wild Card game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Robert Griffin The 3rd, last seasons rookie of the year was able to drop back, set his feet and throw passes. It appears that Griffin does not have any trouble moving around and passing, he just hasn't done any full-speed running. But it is said if you were to see how he performed during OTA's, you wouldn't have known he suffered a major knee injury back in January.
"If it was just an ACL, it would probably be six months. But it's a revision and a meniscus and an LCL repair, so I would think that they are going to add some time to that. Does that take him to the seventh or eighth month timeframe? Probably. And that's presuming his knee looks really good." – Dr. Ben Shaffer
There is a huge different between non-contact drills and playing in an actual game and it appears that Griffin is working with other players who are rehabbing their own injuries. This is a good sign for Washington Redskins fans and RG3 himself, after having a few recovery time tables being tossed around. It is still up in the air, if the 2012 Rookie of the Year will be ready by the time they open up their regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 9th.
"If somebody might get injured, it's your gut to take somebody out. Sometimes it changes from year to year. I know mine does with different players. Every situation is different. Sometimes you make the right call. Other times you don't. At the end of the day, you're always hoping you learn from your mistakes, whatever they are. At the end of this year, we go into next year, one thing we will make sure of is that Robert (RG3) never plays if he's not 100%." – Head Coach Mike Shanahan
If Griffin were to get medical clearance seven months after his knee surgery, it could possibly put him on the practice field and able to fully participate on August 8th, the day the Washington Redskins open up their pre-season against the Tennessee Titans. I'm pretty sure this young newlywed is excited to be back on the field, in hopes of making it in time for the regular season to begin. Quarterbacks who are mobile like RG3, tend to take bigger risks of injuring themselves whenever they turn into a ball carrier and take off down field.
The way that RG3 plays his game may change as soon as he is 100% recovered and is back on the field with his team ready for full contact. Designed quarterback keep plays may be cut down, as any hit RG3 takes, may cause the coaching and medical staff, along with his fans and teammates, holding their breath. Good to see this kid back on the field, one step closer to full recovery.

The people who built Malden City Hall did their best to imitate Boston's more famous seat of municipal government. Malden's charmless version of Government Center is even harder on the eyes, and the surrounding neighborhood, than Boston's. A squat brick monolith with a leaky roof overlooking an Orange Line station, the complex succeeds in imitating Boston in just one way: It chokes the life out of everything in its path.
Malden City Hall looks headed for the slag heap, since the building is both unloved and prohibitively expensive to maintain. City officials are moving toward putting the building out to bid for redevelopment. This doesn't sound like a development on par with, say, the Big Dig and a clean Boston Harbor opening the Seaport's vast parking lots to development. But the downtown rebuilding projects currently underway in Boston's formerly industrial urban satellites will do more to shape the state than the towers rising above Fan Pier. The state's housing shortage— brought on by decades of building new homes at a fraction of the national pace — is far too acute for Boston to tackle on its own.

Sankirtana Fire still burning strong in London2,710 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Sankirtana Fire still burning strong in London
By Hare Krishna Festivals Team UK
The Harinama Sankirtana fire is still burning strong in London. London is a city very well populated, and there is never a dull moment while chanting on the streets. Very rare is the day when the devotees are treated unfavourably, whether it is the police, students, local londoners, tourists, drunks or businessmen, the reception is always favourable. Often the number of people joining in from the street exceeds the amount of devotees joining in themselves.
Generally when on book distribution or another outreach activity, people on the street often know of the 'Hare Krishnas' from chanting on the street, especially in London.
It is a unique situation as many devotees from around London and neighbouring towns attend, and mainly Grhastas too.
Saturday Night Harinama in particular as it is always well attended and the route goes through all of the popular, busy, and touristic areas of London.
It is famous over the UK, and even with many international devotees, and we are often joined by many senior visiting devotees and senior Prabhupada disciples.
It can also be taken to note that simply by going out in London many people from other countries are getting to know of the Hare Krishna movement, due to the sheer millions of tourists visiting London every year.
Below is a taster of various recent Harinama's in London in 2012

Here's what Brian Wilson said after the #sfgiants-#dodgers series opener:
Here's what Brian Wilson said after the #sfgiants-#dodgers series opener:
Feelings about facing his old mates: "I already faced them a couple of weeks ago, so I got those out of the way." On the boos: "It's not the first time they booed with the Dodgers in town. It's fine. Due diligence. It's what fans do. It's their right. I love it." And . . . "As baseball players, we get booed a lot. That's what goes on. If you let yourself get swallowed by it and then go out there and let the nerves get to you and do bad and then wonder in your hotel room, 'Why did I pitch badly?' it's because you let it affect you." On if it was the reaction he expected: "I wasn't expecting anything. I never expect anything. You're not going to get a rise out of me. It's all good. I pitch the eighth inning and do my job. That's what I did here." He thought he could've been razzed some more, saying, "I was expecting better here." Regarding anyone in the Giants' front office who might've doubted him: "If anything I've shown exactly who I've been, nothing's going to tear me down; You need two people to believe in you, God and yourself. It doesn't really matter what anybody else thinks. Whether you think I'm not going to come back doesn't hinder what I'm about to do. I already told everybody what I'm about to do. It's not like it's a surprise, at least to me it's not. I'm exactly where I should be." The story: http://blog.sfgate.com/giants/

The UFC has moved ALL of their new programming off of SpikeTV (available in SD and HD) over to FuelTV. On Verizon FIOS, FuelTV is only available in SD. Every other provider in our area carries the SD and HD format of this channel.
Please, Verizon, I wan't to see all of the latest programming from the UFC on FuelTV, in HD!

Anthony, frankly, its absurd that Fios TV does not offer FUEL in HD. Please let me know if something is in the works. Thank you.

That statement is not true. The the ONLY carrier of the HD channel is DirectTV. TimeWarner offers it in a few limited areas but it it not national. I do agree with you that I would like to see it added. But of course I would like to see about a dozen HD channels added and at the rate Verizon adds HD channels my Kids might see it in their lifetime.
