Well, no, but let´s take a risk. It´s fun.
Those of you who frequent the Southwest Forum may have read Chiles in the Desert, my trip report about 3 weeks of travelling and eating in the Southwest USA. It was on this trip, last fall, that my husband Dennis and I met Nouf (aka Verjuice) in Santa Fe. A cocktail party at her house, and the next evening a night on the town, 3 months of regular emailing, and then fast forward to ´let´s take a trip together´´where to?´´let´s go to Estonia!´.
I´d been wanting to go to Estonia ever since I read Pille´s eGullet blog about her life in Tallinn. So last week, Nouf and I took off for a week in the snow, with Dennis joining us for the latter half of the trip.
Our guest arrived at dawn, with a suitcase heavy from the delicacies she had brought from the UAE:
That night we had Amsterdam based eGulleter markemorse and his wife over for dinner. I was feeling a bit under the weather, and maybe overwhelmed by the masses of culinary talent at my table, so as was to be expected, I was very critical of the dinner I made. 2 things I was happy with: the appetizer plate (bloody mary tomatoes, eggs with tarragon mayo, and smoked mozzarella) and my labor of love trifle: home made pistachio cake, poached quinces, custard, home made quince liqueur.
The next day I stayed in bed, gathering my strength for the trip. On Monday we left, and arrived in Estonia to find the streets of Tallinn dark and deserted...

About this Artist
Ron Reams
"I paint from the deepest part of my core. I become the paint and the surface, allowing the elements and the environment to shape itself during creation. If I think about the past, or the end result, which would be the future, I am no longer creating from my core. In order to be true to my passion, I must be in the moment. I create from life's adventure and the actualization of that experience."
Painter Ron Reams explores the energy of his art in a sculptural way, building layer upon layer, color upon color.This visceral interpretation aligns with Reams' intent to always paint in the moment, allowing the paint, the emotion, and the energy of the painting to direct what happens on the canvas.
In the late nineties, Reams began putting vignettes of drawings and paintings together. He then built fifteen foot panels of these fragments, creating the equivalent of abstract collage.These large scale pieces reflected his search for a non-routine way of painting. This new media approach paved the way for the works that followed, as the artist carved out a distinct artistic style of his own.
The artist began his formal education at Ringling School of Arts but credits his mentors - David Anderson, Edgar Miller, and William Pachner - as the nuclei of his expression. Each brought his own specific influence and, as a result, inspired Reams' artistic candor. These three advisors allowed Reams to strive beyond the archetypal classroom education, thus focusing on actualizing his own style.

Class 1 Gloss Black Powdercoated Ball Mount for 1-1/4" Receivers by CURT®. 2000 lbs GTW / 200 lbs TW, 5-9/16" Length, 6" Drop, 4-5/8" Rise, 3/4" Ball Hole. Choose from CARiD's extensive lineup, including mounts with permanently-attached balls like the modern Euro Mount design and the heavy duty Fusion style.

- Use adapter bushing (sold separately) if the shank hole diameter is larger than required
- Robotic welded for extra durability
- Various lengths and drop to fit your trailer and vehicle properly
The Ball mount is a critical part of any trailer hitch installation. The primary consideration is that the mount be strong enough to handle the trailer without failing or bending. It also needs to fit the hitch receiver and the mounting shank on the hitch ball. The ball mount is also your best opportunity to make the hitch ball the correct height to level your trailer. So start your search for the mount with the maximum weight your vehicle is rated to tow and the correct receiver size, 1-1/4", 2" or 2 -1/2". Then choose a ball of the correct weight rating and shank diameter. Only now can you start looking for a ball mount of the correct drop or rise. If you'll be towing a variety of trailers, your best bet might be an adjustable ball mount so you can set the drop correctly without having to have a variety of mounts on board.17.16

And the once visited never forgotten home of Huyton RLFC - Alt Park !!

According to Ian Proctor and Andrew Farley's 'Stones Bitter Rugby League Directory' Bramley played at Whitegate Farm and Pollard Lane from their founding in 1879 and moving to the Barley Mow in 1890.

Leeds St Johns ,the forerunner of Leeds RFLC before they moved to Headingley used to play at Cardigan fields ,on Kirkstall road.its now Warner village multiplex cinema ,bars restaurants etc.Itused to be recriation grounds and William cody,Buffalo Bill had his wild west shows there
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:38 PM
Where was that? If I remember rightly (and it's a while since I lived there - although I could see Park Avenue out of my window on Dirkhill Road) there was a cricket pitch on the corner of Horton Park Avenue and Laisteridge Lane (?). Is that the one you are talking about or is that still there?
Alternatively, it must be the area between Park Avenue and All Saints Road - which is where the railway line ran, I think. There didn't look a lot of space there when I was there long after the railway had gone, let alone when it was there.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:54 PM
One Lancashire League ground that still exists (although the club doesn't) is Belle Vue Stadium in Manchester where Belle Vue Rangers played until 1953. Another one may be Stanley Greyhound Stadium in Liverpool where Liverpool Stanley played until they became Liverpool City. Stanley Park still exists but I'm not sure about the dog track. And yes, I visited both of them.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 03:58 PM
I may be suffering a senior moment but I seem to remember reading that Park Avenue had their own railway station way back in the Victorian era.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 04:39 PM
Horton Park Station was opened in 1880 - more here.
I've had a look at Google Maps, too. The cricket ground I was referring to was on the other side of Laisteridge Lane on the opposite corner to the other area we are talking about - Girlington Cricket Club according to the map, but I don't remember it as that.
It must have been a small ground, as that is a tight space in there.
Posted 10 December 2012 - 06:17 PM
Yes you are correct.I think Cardigan fields was like a recreation ground Buffalo Bill had several of his wild west shows there,and he used to drink in the Cardigam Arms
Wasn't Headingley also a part of the Cardigan Estates.? I am sure I read that they purchased the grounds from the Carddigan estates.

Not quite, Widnes still play at the same ground, but after major redevelopments.
My List:
Station Road (One of the biggest playing surfaces I have ever seen)
Gigg Lane (Our temporary home, where we scared Sintelins in a cup game)
Moor Lane (A truely dreadful surface that must have made the previous players turn in their duvets)
Borough Park (Right next to Blackpool FC, and the Greyhound Stadium)
Alt Park (One of the worst places I have ever visited)
Wilderspool (Don't wear away colours, said my cousin, how right he was, violent thugs)
Central Park (A superb arena, one of the best for watching RL)
Knowsley Road (I Cycled here to watch Swinton @ Sts to start my speccy career in 77, a Lancs cup defeat, 49-3, but they never gave up)
Thrum Hall (Then back to Colin Dixon's pub)
Fartown (where I played in 1979, Colleges Cup Final, Salford Tech v Hudd Uni)
Most of the London Grounds (See another thread)
The Willows (See another thread, RIP, at least we got closure here)
Tattersfield (A dreadful, sh1thole of a pitch, I remember going here after playing on Station Rd, and wondering, why the hell?)
Brunton Park (My Mam's Mam died when we were returning from the game here in Ladywell Hospital)
The Brewery Field (I was delayed getting there due to a "Passenger Incedent" at Swindon)
Cardiff City's Ground (Forgive me I forget what it was called) (Saw 1984's Kangaroos v Wales here)
Victory Park, Chorley (I had an Epileptic fit on the way back from here)
Athletic Grounds (One of my first away games, in the Cup)
Watersheddings (Almost my 3rd ground I used to spend so much time here, I saw a Wire fan throw an Oldham fan off the top tier of the double stand and then throw his crutches after him in a Lancs Cup game)
Hilton Park (I remember Hull KR winning the Championship here, and celebrating in the main stand before their game was over because the 2nd place team had lost by radio - those were the days)
Elland Road (When New Hunslet used it as their home ground)

When heading out into blustering climates, we find it's always best to be equipped with the most practical, versatile, and of course, stylish outerwear, hence our obsession du jour: the parka! Formerly categorized as merely military garb and casual winter attire, the parka has officially made its high-fashion return to the spotlight as the season's must-have coat. From classic-yet-cool daytime styles to luxurious evening options, the heavy-duty parka is guaranteed to arm you against the winter chill, which is why we believe it's a cold-weather essential you should definitely Go Buy Now!
While the parka isn't necessarily a new trend, per se, the way it's currently being styled on the runways is decidedly fresh and definitely worth noting-just check out Joseph Altuzarra's F/W 11 collection to see what we mean! For our favorite look, shown above, the designer channeled a grunge-era Kate Moss and showed a knee-length, gray Fur Hooded Parka ($4010, 212.826.8900) paired with the Plaid Silk Chiffon Dress ($2160, 212.826.8900) and Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra Black Leather Boots ($1190, 212.826.8900). The juxtaposition of the sporty, utilitarian jacket with the slinky, delicate frock made for one unexpectedly chic after-hours ensemble fit for a downtown lady. This brilliant pairing is a hit off the runways too, as Alexa Chung recently demonstrated while shopping in London two months ago. The tastemaker opted for Topshop's Faux Fur Hooded Nylon Parka ($196, available here in Black), which she cleverly styled with Stella McCartney's Washed Dark Blue Denim Dress ($610, 718.645.2600) and Salvatore Ferragamo's Vera Bow Ballet Flats ($395) for a cool autumnal look that can transition from day to night with ease.
Now that you're up to speed on how parkas are being addressed both on and off the runways, we'd like to introduce you to a few of our favorite iterations to ensure your closet is stocked with the most lust-worthy options available! So whether you're headed to the slopes or simply have a night out on the town scheduled, you'll definitely want to have one of these cool coats on hand!
1. Charlotte Ronson Hooded Army Jacket ($355)
To kick things off right, we'd like start with one of favorite parkas from Charlotte Ronson: the Hooded Army Jacket. We're crazy about its charcoal gray hue, which is a nice alternative to the parka's usual army green and khaki colors, plus, the drawstring waist offers a figure-flattering silhouette, making it a must-buy, everyday option for anyone!
2. DKNY Broken Twill Parka ($525) in Chino
As far as luxurious parkas go, this one by DKNY is a real winner in our books. The combination of the tan hue and faux fur collar is quite chic and lends itself to a myriad of styling options for both day and evening. Wear it zipped up over a sweater and skinny jeans for a casual weekend outing or over a fancy frock for a fabulous after-hours ensemble; either way, we can promise it will be your go-to jacket for many years to come.
3. United Bamboo Fishtail Parka ($865)
If you find yourself in particularly chilly climates at this time of year, the Fishtail Parka by United Bamboo is, in our opinion, one hundred percent worth the investment. Not only is it preposterously stylish with its cool, unfussy design and Altuzarra-like long length, but it's also incredibly versatile too, thanks to its removable fur trim and expandable hood. Go for a grunge-inspired look by teaming it with a slip dress and lace-up boots-the resulting outfit is sure to be a smash this winter.
4. Topshop Borg Collar Padded Parka ($190) in Khaki
Much too our delight-and presumably yours too-we found a few drool-inducing, reasonably priced parkas at Topshop! While we're smitten with all their on-trend options, we are especially fond of the Borg Collar Padded Parka. With a cozy shearling collar and faux fur trimming, we can promise this coat will keep your cozy and take you fashionably through all your outdoor events this year!-Jessica Baker

In the last few weeks, the media has ramped up its coverage of violence in the South Sudanese state of Jonglei — and rightly so. Inter-ethnic clashes in Jonglei flared up in January, pitting the Lou Nuer and Murle ethnic groups against each other in what is the latest round of recurrent attacks between the two.
At the same time, however, violence on a much larger scale is hitting Sudan's "new south": Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile States. Fighting between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement – North (SPLM-N) has forced tens of thousands of people to flee to Ethiopia and South Sudan. Nearly as many have been internally displaced and face dire food shortages.
Displacement is a growing problem in the region, and aid groups face immense challenges providing enough emergency food and care to support the displaced population. Bombing and fighting in the area have prevented local families from cultivating their crops, and a poor harvest in November left food stocks even lower than usual. The most insidious problem, however, is the aid blockade imposed by Khartoum.
The government's refusal to allow international aid agencies (both UN and private) into its territory is putting tens of thousands of lives at risk. Only the Sudanese Red Crescent, seen as neither impartial nor capable of handling the needs of civilians in government and SPLM-N areas, has been allowed to enter the area.
The U.N. and countries including the United States have tried to shift Khartoum and stave off a humanitarian disaster. In recent weeks, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and the U.N.'s top humanitarian official both visited Sudan and pressed Omar al-Bashir's government for greater access. But neither visit was successful in opening Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile to desperately needed assistance.
Khartoum is clearly in bunker mode. Feeling that it was not sufficiently "rewarded" for allowing South Sudan to break away, it is now wary of any incentives the West might offer for opening up these war-torn states. It is also keen to avoid a second Darfur, where Khartoum saw humanitarian assistance as merely a friendly façade for Western meddling. More than that, Bashir's regime sees the aid blockade in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile as another way to force the SPLM-N to surrender for the sake of suffering civilians.
Given the dire need in these two states and the lack of movement by Sudan, some in the U.S. are now calling for forced access to Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile – whereby food and medical supplies might be flown or trucked into the two areas against Khartoum's will. Certainly, the need is clear; but leaving aside the prospect of Sudanese military retaliation, the practicalities of such a move are thorny indeed. Dropping aid from the air would be incredibly costly, and it's unclear how the supplies would be distributed once the aid hits the ground. Meanwhile, the land routes from South Sudan into Blue Nile and Southern Kordofan are either impassible or go through Khartoum-held areas. Ethiopia, another possible entry point, would be wary of provoking Khartoum by cooperating with such a plan.
For the time being, Khartoum's recklessness and intransigence is certain to push more families from Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile into South Sudan and Ethiopia – adding to the over 100,000 Sudanese refugees already there. Those who can't flee will face even more danger and deprivation; many will surely die.
As humanitarians, we continue to hope that this time Khartoum will prove its critics wrong; that this time it will welcome assistance and not endanger thousands of lives out of pique. But after years of disappointment, it is hard to expect anything better from Sudan. And the fear is that the most the world can do is prepare for the human tragedy that is about to unfold.February 03, 2012 | Tagged as: Africa, South Sudan, Sudan

Customer Reviews For Intimus 5T Hybrid HD
- Give them time. JAMES B.
- When I first got these speakers, I thought, "They sound good, but not $2500 good." Trust me, give them time. Once properly calibrated and given the time to break in, they are awesome. I like to listen to music, but it is the subversiveness of movies, especially blu-rays, that gets me excited. Twice as good as the theater. If only I could get my wife to stop talking in the middle of the films.
- Appointment Listening Dana B.
- I have this system - built, as Aperion Audio says on its home page, over time - with two 422 Satellite speakers in the back of my listening area making up a 7.1 configuration.
First, I agree completely with the copy on the product page that says "You'll hear so many things you have been missing that you'll need to schedule extra time to listen to your entire CD library all over again." (How often have you found that a manufacturer's claim about a product is not exaggerated?) In a time when the economy is taking a nose dive, I find myself returning to simple pleasures. I am rediscovering the quality in the music CDs I already own by taking the time to really listen to them, really "hearing" them for the first time. Not "multi-tasking" by reading a magazine or the newspaper while the music is playing. The sound is so good, it compels my attention.
I am a fan of Jonathan Schwartz's "High Standards" three hour segment on satellite radio channel 73 Monday through Saturday. Four hours on Sunday. A recent reviewer called it "appointment listening." I find myself doing just that. Making time to really listen to the American standards music he plays. Oh, the joy. The rapture.
You owe it to yourself to try this setup. Nonpareil.
- Sound studio in my living room Patrick W.
- This system is very precise in the reproduction of any track. It puts you right in the middle of the action in any movie and doubles your room as a recording studio of your favorite musician. The Aperion Guru's are a blast to work with and are very knowledgeable. They are quick to respond to questions with not only answers, but GOOD answers. If you're on the fence about getting an Aperion system, my advice...give it a shot. With the 30-day in home audition, what have you got to lose?!
- Work Great - Sound Great Joseph T.
- I've had this system for roughly 3 months. What can I say? They sound terrific. Read the reviews on the individual components. What's nice is everything is matched. Out of the box (and the classy velvet bags) they work. I have this system connected to a Yamaha RX-V1800. I had to tweak things when I first set it up (thanks for the sound meter Aperion!) and haven't touched it since. I thought the system sounded good when I first hooked them up but they only got better as they broke in. I went for the cherry finish to match my decor - the finish is fantastic and you'll be proud to show them to your friends.

Pro Reviews For Intimus 5T Hybrid HD
- Audioholics Consumer Excellence Award - Bravus 10D, February 2010
- The Aperion Audio Bravus 10D Powered Subwoofer won the Audioholics "Consumer Excellence Award" 2009 for in the Compact Subwoofer category.
"The Aperion Bravus 10D subwoofer completes the Home Theater system by providing accurate low frequency reproduction, ranging from smooth musical bass tones to the immersive low end rumble that many movie enthusiasts expect from a much larger enclosure. The Bravus 10D's design incorporates dual 10-inch custom aluminum drivers that enable the performance of a typical 12-inch driver and cabinet design in a much smaller package. The subwoofer's easy to use EQ presets, and user customizable EQ settings, with a remote control, let the music and movie enthusiast adjust the settings to quickly make up for differences in the content without leaving the listening position. Given its size and value, a serious bass head can easily integrate 2 or 4 of the Bravus 10D subwoofers to ensure every seat in their theater room provides an equally good tactile experience."

- Audioholics Reviews the Bravus 10D Subwoofer, March 2010
- The Aperion Bravus 10D is the "HD" component of this home theater speaker system.
Performance Rating: 4 out of 5
Value Rating: 4 out of 5
The Aperion Bravus 10D integrates well with low to medium efficiency speakers and never sounds boomy. No matter how hard I drove it, it didn't bottom out or falter. Aperion Audio has done their homework by employing good driver design in a small enclose that limits the maximum excursion the drivers can reach ensuring they won't bottom or stress when driven to maximum output.
The Aperion Bravus 10D is an attractive, potent little subwoofer at a reasonable price. It certainly doesn't have the output and extension of its larger peers but that's a tradeoff one must live with if they want a small box to better blend into their room décor. In that aspect the Bravus 10D is all aces.
While the Bravus 10D has impressive output for its size, I'd recommend it for small to medium sized rooms (< 2500ft^3). I'd personally recommend saving your dollars to purchase a second 10D which if strategically placed in the room provide the output of a single larger subwoofer, with smoother bass response for your entire listening area. After hearing dual subwoofers properly set up in a theater room you will find you can never go back to a single subwoofer system. Given the diminutive size of the 10D, it would be very easy to place two of these in most family rooms without drawing much attention to them. There should be no excuses for NOT setting up dual subs in your theater room. Aperion Audio makes this very easy for you with their small, potent Bravus offerings.

- Enjoy the Music Budget Speaker Shootout Review of the 5B
- "First impressions of the Intimus 5B is that they are extraordinarily well built, and boast a fit & finish that would not be out of place on speakers four times their price."
"...they delivered enough detail to be lively, but weren't so ruthlessly revealing as to spoil it. Vocals were excellent across the board on the Aperions as Natalie Merchant sounded great on Tigerlily, as did Brian Johnson on Back in Black. Electric guitars had plenty of grit and impact. The 5Bs can rock!"

What a relief to escape the series' increasing bondage to high-tech gimmicks in favor of intrigue and suspense featuring richly nuanced characters and women who think the body's sexiest organ is the brain.
Craig comes closer to the author's original conception of this exceptionally long-lived male fantasy figure than anyone since early Sean Connery.
This Bond is haunted, not yet housebroken, still figuring out the persona. In Casino Royale, the reset button has been pressed in the manner of "Batman Begins."

Mets have offered R.A. Dickey a two-year extension
The Mets plan to offer R.A. Dickey a two-year contract extension, sources told Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
However, Rosenthal says it remains to be seen whether Dickey will accept the offer.
Yesterday, MetsBlog's Matthew Cerrone said, "The Mets are likely offering him a two-year deal," probably around $10 to $12 million a year, though Dickey is said to be seeking at least three guaranteed years to start after 2013.
In a poll on MetsBlog.com yesterday, 66% of voters said the Mets should sign Dickey to a contract extension, which is up from 37% last month. Similarly, only 30% of voters said yesterday the Mets should trade Dickey, which is down from 53% from before he officially won the Cy Young Award.
Update, 12:30 pm: Buster Olney of ESPN says that if Dickey were to agree to a two-year extension for 2014-2015, he wants more than $10 million per year.
Update, 12:11 pm: Andy Martino of the Daily News says the Mets offered Dickey a two-year contract two weeks ago and the two sides have been negotiating since. The Mets know Dickey will take a two-year contract worth less than the two-year, $29 million contract Jake Peavy signed with the White Sox.
Martino has said on several occasions that the Mets believe Dickey will accept a two-year deal, though a trade is still possible.
This past Wednesday, Dickey told SNY's Kevin Burkhardt on Mets Hot Stove he would like to finish his career with the Mets.
"I think [Sandy Alderson] has a great plan for the future of the New York Mets," Dickey said. "I'm sure it's going to require a little vision, I'm sure it's going to require a lot of hard work. But anything worth having – that's what's required. I'm on board, and I want to be part of the solution here."
However, in a conference call with the Baseball Writers Association on Wednesday night, Dickey said he does not want to be taken advantage of in a new deal.
Yesterday, Marc Carig of Newsday said Sandy Alderson would like clarity on Dickey's situation after Thanksgiving and before the Winter Meetings.
Michael Baron, Contributor
I wonder if the Mets might also include a vesting option or two at the end of the deal. Also, would such an offer partly replace his 2013 option, which was exercised earlier in the off-season? In that scenario, the Mets would be able to mitigate their risk of Dickey declining, all while giving them the flexibility to move him down the road if they choose to. Given Dickey's age and how he feels about the Mets and the organization's direction, that might be an appealing scenario for him.
Contract: The Mets exercised their $5 million option for Dickey for 2013. He can become a free agent after next season.
Stats: Dickey went 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA, having allowed 192 hits and 54 walks with 230 strikeouts in 233 2/3 innings. He became the first Met to win 20 games since Frank Viola in 1990, and won the 2012 National League Cy Young Award.
Nov. 8, 2012: Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports said the Mets are not showing much interest in signing a new deal with Dickey, and instead are discussing him with possible trade partners.
Nov. 8, 2012: CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman believes the Mets are seeking both a catcher and an outfielder in talks for Dickey.
Nov. 8, 2012: The New York Post's Joel Sherman says the Mets are beginning to gauge Dickey's value on the trade market at the GM Meetings and will weigh their findings against keeping him through 2013 and not signing him to an extension. The Mets remain conflicted as to how to deal with Dickey's contract situation, Sherman concludes.

WOONSOCKET ŌĆö For most people, Labor Day is a last call for summer, a chance for one more family cookout or that final great day at the beach.
But at the cityŌĆÖs Museum of Work And Culture, the holiday was another chance to remember a difficult period of local history, a national textile workerŌĆÖs strike that came to town in early September 1934 and claimed the lives of two city men in the process.
As part of its Labor Day Open House 2011 program, the Museum staged two performances of Raymond H. BaconŌĆÖs short play about the strike and its local aftermath.
Bacon, co-manger of the Museum with Anne Conway, has authored several one-act performances on life in the city when the textile industry was its primary economic engine. He completed the play, ŌĆ£I.T.U Meeting,ŌĆØ in 2005 to commemorate the Sept. 11 and Sept. 12 strike and the local rioting that came with it.
The strike helped mobilized French Canadian and other local immigrant workers, long considered accepting of difficult work conditions and long hours, into active union members who counted on the Independent Textile Union not only for improvements in the workplace but also in housing, healthcare and even their social lives.
In the years after the strike, the ITU grew to a membership of more that 15,000 workers and changed its name to the Industrial Trades Union in light of its representation of not only local textile workers, but machinists, barbers, business employees, and clerks.
Bacon, a retired Woonsocket High School social studies teacher, said the museumŌĆÖs Labor Day program was intended to be ŌĆ£truly representative of what the museum is all about.ŌĆÖŌĆÖ
ŌĆ£When you look back on that time, you are looking at a period of struggle and the bad times of the Great Depression,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£It is a story of how these people were able to stand up for themselves and risk their lives,ŌĆØ he said.
A crowd of Labor Day visitors filled the museumŌĆÖs second-floor, ŌĆ£ITU HallŌĆØ meeting room as Erik Eckilson, portraying ITU President Joseph Schmetz, opened an 11 a.m. performance of BaconŌĆÖs play with a rundown of the events sweeping the city in the fall of 1934.
The local labor unrest was sparked by a United Textile Workers union call for a nationwide strike to protest exploitive working conditions and unfair labor practices in the industry. The ITU, founded locally in 1931, agreed to honor the strike call and began to pull its workers from plants in the city.
All of the affected local mills closed as result of the strike with the exception of the massive Woonsocket Rayon Co. plant running the length of Clinton Street in the Social District.
Woonsocket RayonŌĆÖs continued operations drew a large crowd to its gates which then spilled over into rioting and vandalism across the densely developed social district.
Bacon recalled how the actions of participants later described as union outsiders and thugs began to throw rocks and bricks through the storefront windows of businesses in the area and loot them.
Looting hit the Eisenberg & Tickton general store in Social, Canada Malt Liquors on Social Street and about 30 other businesses in the neighborhood, Bacon said.
Gov. Theodore Francis Green sent National Guard troops at the Amory on South Main Street along with local police officers to quell the rioting on Sept. 12, and as the armed body forced the rioters back, shots were fired.
Jude Courtemache, 19, was shot dead as he passed by the scene and another man, Leon Rouette, the play notes, would die two weeks later of the wounds he suffered in the shooting.
Another 12 people in the area were wounded by the gunfire, including four members of the police department.
Bacon said it was never determined whether the shots striking Courtemache and Rouette had been fired by the Guard or by members of the police department confronted by the rock throwing crowd.
The play has CourtemacheŌĆÖs mother, played by Irene Blais, thanking the gathered ITU members for assisting her in the aftermath of her sonŌĆÖs death, and CourtemanchŌĆÖs young sister, played by Victoria Gendron, saying how much she loved her brother and how she will miss him.
There is also a trio of news reporters of the day, played by Shulla Sannella, Darin Cooper, and Albert Brunelle, quizzing Mayor Toupin, performed by Romeo Berthiaume, about the riot and the governmentŌĆÖs response to it.
David Amaral portrays a local merchant upset by the curfew closing Social Street businesses in the days after the riot and Steven Van Orsouw, plays a mill owner who promises to work with the ITU to prevent future violence.
Woonsocket High School English teacher Danielle DeRotto appears in the play as New England labor organizer, Anne Burlak, and refutes the governmentŌĆÖs position that union, or communist-leaning operatives, had incited the violence.
Burlak, who visited the museum several times before her death in 2002, is portrayed as fighting the lower wages paid women in her time and also against the racial biases that existed among employers.
ŌĆ£I learned early in life that organizing was the best way to get equality and justice in the workplace,ŌĆØ DeRotto told her listeners. She recalled how she had once worked in a job paying her $8 a week, where a man doing the same job earned $12 a week.
BurlakŌĆÖs daughter, Kathryn Wright of Springfield, Mass., and BurlakŌĆÖs granddaughter, Jayme Winell, a college student working on a labor history paper, were among the museumŌĆÖs visitors Monday and voiced appreciation for its strike tribute.
ŌĆ£My mother was very proud of this museum and loved it very much,ŌĆØ Wright said. ŌĆ£She called me after she visited it the first time and said ŌĆśYou wonŌĆÖt believe it; it is perfect.ŌĆØ
The speeches DeRotto makes in the play capture her motherŌĆÖs sentiments exactly, Wright said, and noted she would be honored by that tribute too.
It is also a remembrance of the loss suffered by the family of Jules Courtemache, she said.
ŌĆ£The fact that the museum puts this on is a fabulous tradition,ŌĆØ Wright said.
After watching the performance Monday, city native Rene Lafayette, now an assistant middle school principal in Blackstone, said he found it to be an accurate and ŌĆ£very realisticŌĆØ recounting of the strike events in the city.
Lafayette, who had been a history teacher before becoming a school administrator, said he remembers the stories his mother, Theresa, told of those days when he was growing up in the city. ŌĆ£She was 13 at the time and had seen the National Guardsmen fix their bayonets and start pushing the onlookers back out of the way,ŌĆØ Lafayette said. His mother had lived on Cumberland Street at the time and the riot had gone on all around her home. ŌĆ£It certainly was a memory that stayed with her, her entire life,ŌĆØ he said.
The ITU reached its pinnacle during World War II when city manufacturing plants were operating round the clock and just about everyone working in the city was a member, according to Bacon. The period of prosperity for the union was short-lived, however; and in the postwar yearŌĆÖs cityŌĆÖs textile companies either moved their operations to take advantage of lower wages in the South or closed them entirely. By the 1990s, the remaining mills not lost to fires were being converted to condos and apartments or razed.
Today just a few of the large mill complexes remain: the Singleton Street mills where manufacturing continues, and the vacant and deteriorated structures like the French Worsted Mill complex at Hamlet Avenue, which is expected to be razed in the near future to make way for new commercial uses at the location.
Like all history, Bacon said the story of WoonsocketŌĆÖs labor unrest is a story that should not be lost to time. The museum, now entering its 15th year with the help of loyal volunteers and supporters, and will continue to tell the story of cityŌĆÖs labor history, he said. ŌĆ£It is remembered here and it is not forgotten,ŌĆØ Bacon said.

It's been over year since I posted any images of my custom figs so I figure it's about time to post some more. Some were posted before, but I included them so all my mods would appear in a single thread. I just got this camera and it really doesn't do the figs justice but I figure some pics are better than no pics at all. I hope you enjoy.
"Admiral Ackbar" was one of my first mods I ever made and I got 4 stitches in my thumb making him. The exacto knife went right through the plastic and down to the bone in my thumb. You might be able to tell which mods were made while I had stitches :P. I made "Bespin Han" as a stand-in fig for nimzomitch until he pulled a RS Han. It was made from a Naboo Soldier and is rather blocky because it was only meant to be a stand in piece. The "Dead Rebel" was made by cutting up a Rebel Trooper, repositioning the pieces and gluing them back to the base.
These two E-Web Blasters are not mods but were made from scratch. I used plastic pieces left over from models, bits of metal, half of a Gonk Power Droid and some Sculpey to create them. I also made stat cards for it and other items that I hope to post for others to use. The stats and rules cards are from the Ultimate Mission books, except the rules on jumping which is a mix of all the different UM rules cleaned up into one.
Here are some modded "Scout Troopers-Running Toward the Fight". I just cut them at the waist, rotated them a little, glued it and then sculpted the waist to look correct. The arms were cut and pinned as well. The "Dead Trooper" fig was made like the above "Dead Rebel".
These are my modded Imperial Officers-"Death Star Officer" was made from an Imperial Officer body with a Rebel Trooper head. "Imperial Officer-Being Choked" was made the body of the above mentioned Rebel Trooper with an Imperial Officer's head. "Imperial Officer-At Attention" was made from Tarkin's body with an Imperial officer's head. Tarkin's head was used for a different mod that you'll see later on.
This is a "Twi'lik Sith" with a couple of droid friends from the Death Star. The body of the "Twi'lik Sith" was made from a Klatooninian Enforcer with the head of a Twi'lik Scoundrel. I gave him two lightsabers and Sith tattoos on his lekku to add some personality. "The Death Star Droid" is just an R2 repainted to look like the droid found on the Second DeathStar and the "Interrogation Droid" was made completely from Sculpey. I included the front of the stat card I made for reference.
Here's my "Darth Vader-Who's Your Daddy?". The fig was made from RS Darth Vader-Dark Jedi. The scene it's from is still one of the best in all movies. I know that his lightsaber was off when he held his hand out to Luke but I decided to keep it on for the mini.
These are a couple of modded Tuskens. The two with staffs were cut, adjusted, pinned and sculpted into different poses. The Tusken on the Bantha and the Tusken on the left were cut at the waist and switched. I've seen that other people have done this switch as well; it's quite simple to do and I highly recommend it.
The "Oola-Doomed Dancer" was a Twi'lek Bodygaurd that was completely cut apart at all the joints, pinned and readjusted. I used the staff for the chain and positioned it to look like Jabba was pulling on it. "Bib Fortuna" was a Twi'lek Scoundrel and I hope that WOTC will make one with a CE that improves Jabba. "Boba Fett" was a CS Clone Trooper that I made as a stand-in until I finally got one (I ended up having to buy it).

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Former Carbon School District Superintendent George Park will receive his full compensation from Jan. 1 through June 30 this year on regular paydays, and will work for the district as a consultant for that length of time.
Those two items were part of the stipulations listed in the district's settlement with Park. The Sun Advocate was able to obtain a copy of the document Wednesday morning..
In December the Carbon School Board announced that they had reached a settlement with Superintendent Park concerning his resignation from the school district. At the time neither board members nor administration would comment on the settlement, saying that a document that would explain the situation would be forthcoming in the coming weeks.
The resignation, as the board stated at their special meeting on Dec. 17, was tendered as of Dec. 31. Park's resignation followed four months of trial and tribulation for both himself and the district concerning charges brought against him by the Garfield County Attorney's Office concerning actions he supposedly took during his time as superintendent at the Garfield County School District. Park was arrested by Garfield authorities in August near the Carbon School District Office over the charges. Until November, Park, who had only been in place as Carbon's superintendent since May, was in limbo about the charges brought against him. The Washington County Attorney's Office, to which the case had been turned over, dismissed the charges without prejudice under the conditions he testify in a case about another former school district official whom charges were also brought against.
At that point to many, it appeared that Park was free and clear and would be returning to work at Carbon. By that time he had also been suspended without pay since Oct. 1 and he was anxious to return to work.
But then came up the issue of ethical behavior and how the Utah State Board of Education viewed the situation that had transpired in Garfield. At that point the state board's Utah Professional Practice Advisory Commission investigating Park's actions had still not finished their investigation. By the time of the resignation announcement in December, Jean Hill, the lead investigator for the state said they would not be making any recommendations on the case until January when their advisory board could meet. What their findings are have still not been released according to her office when it was contacted on Wednesday.
Hill said that Park's resignation and subsequent settlement with the school district had not rendered the investigation moot. "The investigation is continuing and I expect to have a recommendation at the next UPPAC meeting on January 11," she said.
The agreement that Park and the district signed concerning his severance from the district includes the following conditions:
*Park resigned as of Dec. 31, 2010 and he remained on leave without pay until that date. Park will resume his normal pay rate with the district as of Jan. 1, 2011 and that will continue with regular pay dates until June 30, at which time he will be removed from the payroll. During that time he will be a consultant to the district, with his only compensation being the pay rate to which he has agreed during the first six months of 2011. The agreement does not point out how much that compensation is and the Utahright.com public employee salary site does not list Park as an employee of the district. However, the prior superintendent was making a salary of $106,407 per year based on the site's information;
*The district will expect Park to be available as a consultant "at reasonable times and places to provide information and services to the district as requested by the board president or the district superintendent;
*If Park moves out of the county the district will be responsible for any travel expense he may incur in acting as a consultant for the district. The district has also agreed that if he does take another position any consulting work will be scheduled in accordance as to not interfere with his new position. He must give the district 15 days notice if he does accept other employment;
*The district has also agreed to pay $1,500 of his attorney fees in conjunction with the agreement;
*The district will provide medical and dental converage to Mrs. Park until Dec. 31, 2011, unless either Park or she accepts new employment. Park will pay the same amount as other 12 month contract administrators for this coverage;
*Park must return a laptop computer that he used as superintendent to the district or pay $800 for it. All information on the computer must be turned over to the district. Any other files or materials he has of the district's must also be turned over.
The agreement, except what is required by law, is confidential. Consequently, board members and members of the administration of the school district said at the December meeting they would not comment on the agreement and let what was released speak for itself.

St. Lawrence County legislators are poised to contribute financially to bring the Bassmaster Elite Series Tournament to Waddington this summer because it could attract anglers to the area for years to come.
I think it will be the gift that keeps on giving, Finance Committee Chairman Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, himself a fisherman, said at a Monday committee meeting. Fishing on the St. Lawrence River is phenomenal.
The Bassmaster Elite Series on Aug. 8 to 11 will bring the worlds top bass anglers to Waddington and showcase the region to a global audience.
This is a stepping stone. We will make this a success, Waddington Mayor Janet M. Otto-Cassada said. This is the one we need to do correctly.
Organizers of the tournament are trying to raise $60,000, the fee to host the event, plus at least an additional $40,000 to pay for promotion.
Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, suggested the county chip in $15,000, but Legislator Vernon D. Sam Burns, D-Ogdensburg, recommended the figure be raised to $60,000.
Other legislators said they might support a $60,000 contribution but wanted to know more.
I have no problem with $15,000, but $60,000 right out of the box, Im not prepared for that, said Legislator Joseph R. Lightfoot, R-Ogdensburg.
Donald R. Meissner, coordinator of FISHCAP an initiative of the county Chamber of Commerce told legislators whatever money they contribute will be well spent.
This elite series is gigantic in the sports world. This gives us our great opportunity to show the rest of the country how special we are, he said. The economic flow will just be beginning. This isnt just cookie cutter. We have the opportunity to show who we are.
Legislators asked the tournaments organizers to provide a budget and plan of how money will be used before they make a decision on a contribution in March.
