Wright 1 OFF THE ROAD Imperialism And Exploration In The American Road Movie “Road movies are too cool to address serious socio-political issues. Instead, they express the fury and suffering at the extremities of a civilized life, and give their restless protagonists the false hope of a one-way ticket to nowhere.” –Michael Atkinson, quoted in “The Road Movie Book” (1). “‘Imperialism’ means the practice, the theory, and the attitudes of a dominating metropolitan center ruling a distant territory; ‘colonialism’, which is almost always a consequence of imperialism, is the implanting of settlements on distant territory” –Edward Said, Culture and Imperialism (9) “I am still a little bit scared of flying, but I am definitely far more scared of all the disgusting trash in between places” -Cy Amundson, This Is Not Happening “This is gonna be exactly like Eurotrip, except it’s not gonna suck” -Kumar Patel, Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay Wright 2 Off The Road Abstract: This essay explores the imperialist nature of the American road movie as it is defined by the film’s era of release, specifically through the lens of how road movies abuse the lands that are travelled through.

    THE AMBLING INFLUENCE end up in the ASB PART 1 The American Saddlebred Horse is famous for his Cave drawings from the Steppes of Asia (http://www.spanishjennet.org/history.shtml). gaits, but where do these gaits come from? Gaited horses have been around for many years, but how did they end up in the American Saddlebred? This series of articles will take you from the dawn of the gaited horse through to the modern day Saddlebred, look at the genetics behind the ambling gait and give you some pointers as to the physique of the gaited horse. What is a gaited horse anyway? Every pace of the horse, be it walk, trot or canter, is called a “gait”. For the gaited enthusiast, any horse can do these gaits, what they are interested in is the smooth non-jarring English palfrey, cc 1795 – 1865. lateral gait (the legs on one side moving together). (http://www.1st-art-gallery.com/John- This “gait” comes in many guises and names Frederick-Herring-Snr/My-Ladye's-Palfrey.html). depending on the collection, speed and length of stride of the horse, as well as the individual breed of the horse. It is the specific pattern of footfall and the cadence that defines the gait in each of the gaited breeds. A quiet horse may well have a better gait than his flashy fast-moving counterpart, so look beyond the hype and see exactly what those feet and hindquarters are doing. This smooth-moving gait has been depicted in cave walls and fossilised in footprints dating to over 3½ million years ago – so just how did it get from there Lady Conaway's Spanish Jennet to the American Saddlebred? We know that horses (http://www.spanishjennet.org/registry.shtml) are not native to America, so to answer that question we must travel back in time and place to Europe and Asia.

  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

  • Maryland Historical Magazine, 1948, Volume 43, Issue No. 2
    MflRyjQHIlX) MARYLAND HISTORICAL SOCIETY BALTIMORE JUNE • 1948 IN 1929 the Hutzler Service Building was erected on the north side of Saratoga Street. Extending through to Mulberry, this building contained the Parking Garage, Warehouse, Delivery Station, (and subsequently the Hutzler Fountain Shop) and was connected with the Hutzler Store by a tunnel under Saratoga Street. This expansion, along with the 1928 moves, and the purchase of electricity and steam from the public utility, enabled us to open Hutzler's Downstairs, "A Thrift Store with Hutzler Standards." This was an entirely new store, with a separate merchandising and buying organization, but with Hutzler ownership and policies. HUTZLER BROTHERS CO.

LTHOUGH many American families trace their ancestry to some adventurous spirit who relin- quished European ties in order to establish himself in the New World, accounts of the actual voyage of migration, related by the forebear who made it, 1are few 1 indeed. The following sketch, written in 1829, from notes describing events in 1796 and 1797, supplies such a narrative for one Maryland family—the Brevitts. In it Dr. Joseph Brevitt, a hospital surgeon attached to units of the British army in the West Indies, describes conditions existing in both the Windward and the Leeward Islands during the epoch following the French Revo- lution, his disillusionment at the prospects of advancement in military service, and his ultimate determination to seek his fortune in the recently established American Republic.

    OUTRAGEOUS FORTUNE: FOUR CONCERTOS FOR TROMBONE AND SYMPHONIC WIND ENSEMBLE This project came about during a collaboration between myself and Nigel Clarke, where together we wanted to explore the huge range of possibilities for solo trombone and wind ensemble. Having previously made many recordings with brass band, I wanted to do something that would be unique and involve composers from all over the world. A commission by Jan Van der Roost had already been completed, and so I was looking for other pieces that would complement the Clarke and Van der Roost works already in hand. After being introduced to the Middle Tennessee State University Wind Ensemble and Reed Thomas via Nigel, it was natural to look at an American composer, and Jim Stephenson was an obvious choice as he had already collaborated many times with the group. Søren Hyldgaard’s Rhapsody was a piece that had received very little exposure and was a favourite of mine, and so that completed the album, giving it very much an international feel. I hope you like the choice of repertoire as well as the superb playing of the MTSU Wind Ensemble. Brett Baker Jan Van der Roost Contrasts Contrasts was written in 2016 for Brett Baker and is dedicated to him. As the title indicates, contrasting elements characterise this challenging piece. The slow first movement, ‘Sounds’ 1 , has a somewhat dark and sombre atmosphere and contains some complex harmonies and special sound-effects. Several contemporary playing techniques (such as quarter-tones, for example) are used in the solo part, thus displaying the versatility of the trombone as a soloist instrument.
