Roofs in Scandinavia have probably been covered with birch bark and sod since prehistory. During the Viking and Middle Ages most houses had sod roofs. In rural areas sod roofs were almost universal until the beginning of the 18th century. Tile roofs, which appeared much earlier in towns and on rural manors, gradually superseded sod roofs except in remote inland areas during the 19th century. Corrugated iron and other industrial materials also became a threat to ancient traditions. But just before extinction, the national romantics proclaimed a revival of vernacular traditions, including sod roofs. A new market was opened by the demand for mountain lodges and holiday homes. At the same time, open air museums and the preservation movement created a reservation for ancient building traditions. From these reservations, sod roofs have begun to reappear as an alternative to modern materials.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_link_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x3ca href=\x22http://www.life.com/image/first/in-gallery/47471/never-seen-hells-angels-1965\x22 class=\x22tumblr_link\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22 \x3eNever-Seen: Hells Angels, 1965\x3c/a\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_description\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3eFrom Jesse James to Tony Soprano, outlaws have always held a singular if ambiguous place in America\x26#8217;s popular imagination: we fear and loathe their appetite for violence, yet we envy and covet their freedom. In early 1965, LIFE photographer Bill Ray and writer Joe Bride spent several weeks with a gang that, to this day, serves as a living, brawling embodiment of our schizoid relationship with the rebel: the Hells Angels. Here, in a gallery of never-published photographs, Ray and Bride recall their days and nights with Buzzard, Hambone, Big D, and other Angels (and their \x26#8220;old ladies\x26#8221;) at a time when the roar of Harleys and the sight of long-haired bikers was still new, alien, and for the average, law-abiding citizen, simply terrifying.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_link_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x3ca href=\x22http://www.kolumbus.fi/aquilon/journal/09c.html\x22 class=\x22tumblr_link\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22 \x3eThe Homo and The Negro\x3c/a\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_description\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3e\x3cem\x3eA Masculinist View of the Futility of the \u201cRight\u201d\x3c/em\x3e\x3c/p\x3e\x0a\x3cp\x3eSo while the Right deprives itself of the elitist cultural creativity of homosexuals, the Left \u201caccepts\u201d and thus attracts them, but then demands submission to an anti-cultural feminist-socialist-egalitarian \u201cGay\u201d identity.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_link_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x3ca href=\x22http://www.counter-currents.com/2010/09/yukio-mishima/\x22 class=\x22tumblr_link\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22 \x3eSoul of the Samurai\x3c/a\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_description\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3eBest short profile of Yukio Mishima I\x26#8217;ve ever come across\x26#8230;\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_link_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x3ca href=\x22http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8138884/First-Americans-reached-Europe-five-centuries-before-Columbus-voyages.html\x22 class=\x22tumblr_link\x22 target=\x22_blank\x22 \x3eAmerindians in Iceland?\x3c/a\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_description\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3eScientists tracing the genetic origins of an Icelandic family believe the first American arrived in Europe around the 10th century, a full five hundred years before Columbus set off on his first voyage of discovery in 1492. \x3cbr/\x3e\x3cbr/\x3eNorse sagas suggest the Vikings discovered the Americas centuries before Columbus and the latest data seems to support the hypothesis that they may have brought American Indians back with them to northern Europe.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_video_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_video\x22\x3e\x0a \x3ciframe width=\x22400\x22 height=\x22243\x22 src=\x22http://www.youtube.com/embed/d4pEXDtsPfs?wmode=transparent\x26autohide=1\x26egm=0\x26hd=1\x26iv_load_policy=3\x26modestbranding=1\x26rel=0\x26showinfo=0\x26showsearch=0\x22 frameborder=\x220\x22 allowfullscreen\x3e\x3c/iframe\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_caption\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3ePart Two of the John Jewel interview\x26#8230;\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cli class=\x22tumblr_post tumblr_video_post\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_video\x22\x3e\x0a \x3ciframe width=\x22400\x22 height=\x22243\x22 src=\x22http://www.youtube.com/embed/5vYJ6d9VPOo?wmode=transparent\x26autohide=1\x26egm=0\x26hd=1\x26iv_load_policy=3\x26modestbranding=1\x26rel=0\x26showinfo=0\x26showsearch=0\x22 frameborder=\x220\x22 allowfullscreen\x3e\x3c/iframe\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x3cdiv class=\x22tumblr_caption\x22\x3e\x0a \x3cp\x3eTom Metzger (W.A.R) interviews John Jewel, former I.W.W (International Workers of the World) representative.\x3c/p\x3e\x0a \x3c/div\x3e\x0a \x0a \x3c/li\x3e\x0a \x0a \x0a \x0a\x0a \x0a \x0a\x3c/ol\x3e');
