Ash Street Jail
New Bedford, MA
January 6th, 2016
America's oldest continuously working jail.
"The original New Bedford Jail was opened on Monday, October 5, 1829 with William Reed as the first jail keeper. The County Commissioners appropriated $13,236.30 for its construction. This facility was located on Court Street and is no longer used as a jail. This structure is currently used for Civil Processing. The building had been previously used as the home of the Sheriff and his family.
The County Commissioners soon recognized the need for additional facilities and authorized the construction of the New Bedford House of Correction Building on the east side of the original jail lot between Court and Union Streets.
The old Bristol County Jail on Court Street in Taunton was quickly becoming obsolete which led to the acquisition of new site on land belonging to the estate of William Hodges on the east side of the present Hodges Avenue. The new Hodges Avenue Jail was completed in 1873 at a cost of $160,000. This facility would get local acclaim as the temporary home for an accused axe murderer from Fall River named Lizzie Borden. The Fall River socialite was detained at the Taunton Jail for ten months while awaiting trial for the murder of her father, Andrew Borden in August of 1892.
The Hodges Avenue Jail in Taunton had served the citizens of Bristol County until 1923 when it closed its’ doors for the final time as a place to house prisoners. The building remained vacant for ten years until the David F. Adams Post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars rented the building for their meetings. The Veterans group used the building for many years. They finally purchased the building for $2,500 following the Second World War. It was dedicated as a permanent memorial to U.S. Veterans.
The County Commissioners recognized that the old Jail on Court Street in New Bedford had long outlived its usefulness by the mid 1880’s and began plans to replace the old stone jail. This effort led to the construction of the new 287 cell Ash Street Facility in 1888 at a cost of $80,000."

As seen from outside the Portland Post Office when I went in to get my passport. Note, the windows are covered in the same stuff they started putting on city bus adverts. So, is Tri-Met doing beta testing for Homeland Security? What are they looking for at the post office? Are they scrutinizing the general delivery box, which is now handed out by the passport folks?
I find the concept of a very obvious spy van just sitting there in my liberal city to be rather surreal, and I am not made to feel safer by this in the least. While you can't see him or her, you can be sure I'm having my picture taken at this moment, too. Thanks Reich Security.
BURRAS WIN THE BILL MALONE CUP
SENIORS
Hepburn defeated Daylesford by 55 points at the Laurie Sullivan Reserve on Saturday, and in doing so secured the inaugural Bill Malone Cup. As is always the case when these two teams meet, the competition is fierce, and the crowd is hanging from the rafters, Saturday was no exception.
It was Daylesford who hit the ground running early and, had shot out to a 4 goal lead before Hepburn even looked like troubling the visiting side. Andy McKay’s skill and uncanny goal sense came to the fore keeping the Burras in the hunt during the first quarter.
As the game unfolded, the new look Hepburn outfit started to gel, with the bigger bodies of Billy Barnes, Jarryd King and Anthony Baker starting to work themselves into the game. This trio should become an asset during the year, allowing the likes of Dan O’Halloran, new comer Daniel Rees and the James brothers to play their natural games. Trevor Johnson was becoming a huge stumbling block every time Daylesford pushed forward. The newly crowned Bill Malone medallist took some telling marks as well as setting up numerous scoring opportunities.
The beauty of the win possibly would have been that the goal scoring wasn’t left to the duo of McKay and Lee Cox. Regular full back Brendan Shepherd set the crowd alight with his four goals, and Barnes chipped in with three vital goals as well.
The return of Nick Walsh was also a good one, throwing his body into contests and dishing out handballs to his fleet footed team mates.
Club legend Matthew Brown’s number 21 made a comeback to senior football as its new owner Liam O’Halloran made his senior debut. The taller of the clan, young Liam found the ball often enough to suggest he will be a player to watch in years to come.
Now with the opening round out of the way, Hepburn is on the road this Saturday to tackle Dunnstown.

An excellent start to the 2010 season by our Baby Burras
All looks good for a fine season ahead, with skills at a very high standard in wet and slippery conditions. Every player in the side was playing well and coach Lindsay Olver used all of his bench allowing his players to have even game time.
Things started well with Bryce Coffey kicking excellent goals in the first quarter. Against good opposition the Baby Burras continued to move the ball in fine style,which resulted in a running goal to Hayden Rodgers. When Bill Pedretti took a mark in the goal square and raised his arms to celebrate all was well. Bill kicked true and the score was 4 goals to no score.
The Baby Burras continued to show their fine work rate for the remainder of the game.
Better players on the day included Hayden Rodgers, Bryce Coffey, Ned Johns, Adam Raak, Eamonn Clarke, Jordan Grant, Harrison Nevil, Wil Hughes and Alister Ferrier .
Goals: Bryce Coffee 2, Hyyden Rodgers, Bill Pedretti
"'GO LITTLE BURRAS WELL DONE'"
Deboxing the 2013 Classic Mulan doll. The backing has been removed from the front plastic part of the box. The doll is still attached to the backing. There are wires attaching her waist and ankles to the backing, rubber bands attaching her hands to plastic spacers, and wires securing her hair to the backing. Photographed in defuse natural lighting.
The new Mulan doll for 2013 is identical to the 2012 doll, except changes to her skirt and legs. Once more Mulan, along with Pocohantas, gets no respect from the Disney Store. Her skirt is now glitter free, but is much narrower and slightly shorter. Because of the lack of glitter in the skirt, I prefer this doll over the 2012 one.
A major change, common to all the 2013 Classic Princess dolls, is the replacement of the fully articulated legs with the old rubber legs, with fixed angled feet and internal knee joints. I would rather that they fixed the problems with the 2012 legs, but when exposed the rubber legs do look a lot better, with the disadvantage of being much less posable. Also the glitter tends to stick to the rubber legs, and it cannot simply be brushed off.
The packaging for the dolls is much improved. The boxes are 1/2 inch flatter than the 2012 boxes, at 13'' H x 6'' W x 2'' D, making them more economical to produce and ship, and taking up less space on a shelf. The box art has been completely redesigned, with beautiful decorations unique to each Princess (actually for each movie), and a cameo of the animated movie character. The backs of the boxes has a short storyline for each character, as they did before 2012. The way the dolls are packaged is much simplified, making it much easier and quicker to remove them from the box. Mostly gone are the tiny plastic T-bar fasteners, which secured the outfits to the backing and left little holes and sometimes runs in the fabric. In some cases there are still large T-bar fasteners tacking the back of the doll's head to the backing. Also the dolls with free flowing hair no longer have them flattened and sectioned into two parts, making it hard to even out the back of their hair after deboxing. Instead, their hair is gathered up and placed to one side of the doll, and secured by thread or wire. It looks good as is in the box. Or if the doll is deboxed, it is easy to shake out the hair and even it out using just your fingers.
Mulan has one T-bar fastener securing each sleeve to the backing, a rubber band around each hand tying them to plastic spacers, a couple of black wires tying down her hair, a single wire around her ankles and a wire around her waist.

It has been a very long time since three ships arrived on a single tide at Teignmouth but with a very high tide it happened on the 22nd January 2026. The 'Teign C' assisted all three vessels around the point and acted as pilot boat.
Second was mini-bulker 'Reggedijk' (2011, 4,890DWT) from Dunkerque.

The Field Secured Container Vessel is a pretty obscure ship, which breaks with the conventional triangular shape of imperial ships. Building the cargo in the bubbles was interesting, as I wanted to achieve a skeletal look which still filled up most of the sphere. The bubbles can however be left out, and the ships should be able to function as book stands.
The MoC is based on the excellent Renders from Fractalsponge and the few other illustrations I could find. It is not UCS-Scale, but I went for a similar amount of detail.
VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – In the Astrotech payload processing facility on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, NASA's Soil Moisture Active Passive, or SMAP, spacecraft, secured inside a transportation canister is lowered onto a transporter for its move to the launch pad. SMAP will launch on a United Launch Alliance Delta II 7320 configuration vehicle featuring a United Launch Alliance first stage booster powered by an Aerojet Rocketdyne RS-27A main engine and three Alliant Techsystems, or ATK, strap-on solid rocket motors. Once on station in Earth orbit, SMAP will provide global measurements of soil moisture and its freeze/thaw state. These measurements will be used to enhance understanding of processes that link the water, energy and carbon cycles, and to extend the capabilities of weather and climate prediction models. SMAP data also will be used to quantify net carbon flux in boreal landscapes and to develop improved flood prediction and drought monitoring capabilities. Launch from Space Launch Complex 2 is targeted for Jan. 29. To learn more about SMAP, visit www.nasa.gov/smap. Photo credit: NASA/U.S. Air Force Photo Squadron

Reading Buses revised its Caversham routes from Monday 19th February, in order to put them on a more secure financial footing.
The 23 and 24 have been re-combined to form circular services, with anticlockwise journeys numbered 23 and clockwise journeys 24 - therefore pink Scania OmniCity 1105, seen arriving at Reading Station North Interchange on the first day of the new arrangements, will have travelled outward via Lower Caversham Caversham Park and inbound via Emmer Green and Caversham Centre.
The pink OmniCitys used on the 23 and 24 will disappear from the fleet soon, and will be replaced by refurbished ADL Enviro400s recently displaced from route 17, which will be painted in a new pink-purple two-tone colour scheme to be branded as "berry". Indeed 1102 and 1103 have already been sold to Midland Classic of Burton-on-Trent, who operated one of they type on loan last year; and they entered service still in their pink livery.
A member of the Afghan National Army secures an alleyway while the District Governor Habibullah conducts a shura to an audience of almost 250 people
---
British soldiers today marked a security success, by facilitating a district governor’s shura – a traditional Afghan public meeting – in the previously troubled town of Showal.
Paratroopers from A Company, 3rd Battalion the Parachute Regiment, along with their partners from the Afghan National Army, ensured security was safeguarded for District Governor Habibullah to speak to an audience of almost 250 local people.
The tone was positive throughout from the charismatic leader. In the recent past, this sort of event would not have been possible but now down to the hard work of the British and Afghan forces operating in this area, normal life is beginning to resume and clear signs of progress are being seen.
Although security is continually improving, there is still a need for ISAF presence while the process of training the Afghan security forces continues. The threat from the insurgents still exists and without the security element provided by 3 PARA and their Afghan partners, shuras like today’s would not happen.
Lieutenant David Donnelly, 3 PARA spokesman, said:
“The men of 3 PARA have quickly forged a reputation amongst local people in the area as the ‘fearless warriors’. The people talk of how they fight the insurgents and ‘don’t fall back, always going forward’. Locals are particularly pleased that their own soldiers and police officers are benefitting from training and mentoring from the 3 PARA troops and other British forces, whose ability they respect.”
One local Afghan male commented at the shura:
“Two months ago it was not possible to go down the streets safely but now people are out, children are playing and people regularly commute on the main roads. This is only possible because of the fearless warriors who wear the green patch.”

Built 1897 for Dr Alexander Stewart Paterson, former Colonial Surgeon, architect Edward John Woods, named “Airlie”, sold by widow to YWCA, re-opened 12 Sep 1913 as girls hostel, in 1984 original residence divided into flats. Now renamed Springhill Lodge.
“A house of 23 rooms is in course of construction in Carrington-street, near East-terrace, for Dr. Paterson (the late Colonial Surgeon), to the design of Mr. E. J. Woods. Every precaution has been taken to secure the stability of this residence. The foundations are of massive cement concrete with a base of Tapley's Hill freestone in cement, and the superstructure is of brick laid in Flemish bond, even in the interior walls. . . The architecture is English of the Elizabethan period, with a broken skyline. There will be balconies and balconettes on three sides, and taken altogether the structure will form one of the finest private residences in the city.” [Advertiser 8 Feb 1897]
“Subsequent to his withdrawal from the control of the lunatic asylums of the State Dr. Paterson went to Europe on holiday trip, and on his return he built the handsome residence in which he lived for the remainder of his life.” [Express & Telegraph 7 Jan 1902]
“A successful garden fete in aid of the Orphan Home, Carrington street, was held on Saturday afternoon, at the residence of Mrs. Stewart Paterson, Airlie, Carrington street.” [Register 15 Dec 1902]
“Mrs. Stewart Paterson and her daughter Mrs. Maclaren are giving an afternoon party at Airlie, Carrington street east.” [Observer 27 May 1905]
“A smart wedding was celebrated at Chalmers Church, North-terrace, on Wednesday, October 10, between Miss Hilda Paterson, daughter of the late Dr. Paterson, and Mrs. A. Stewart Paterson, of 'Airlie', Carrington-street, and Mr. R. R. Black, of Strangways-terrace, North Adelaide, son of the late Mr. W. Black, Victoria.” [Chronicle 13 Oct 1906]
“Mrs. A. S. Patterson entertained a number of friends at an enjoyable garden party at her residence 'Airlie,' Carrington street, Adelaide. . . The many guests spent a pleasant time strolling round the garden, which looked a picture of floral loveliness, the roses being a mass of brilliant colors. . . Afternoon, tea was served in a marquee erected on the lawn, and on small tables prettily adorned with pink and red roses.” [Chronicle 29 Oct 1910]
“The Young Women's Christian Association has purchased the property known as Airlie, on the north side of Carrington street, near East-terrace. It was built by Dr. Paterson, and is still occupied by his widow and family. The house is a commodious structure of two storeys, surrounded by an acre of ground, with lawn, garden, and tennis court. The committee expects to add to the house an extensive annex in the rear, so that the whole will accommodate forty girls. This will be the boarding-home of the association. The present building [Lady Colton Hall] will remain as headquarters, and will be renovated throughout. The removal of the boarding department will relieve the general activities which require the entire building. The plan to build a boarding home adjacent to the present braiding has been abandoned, as sufficient funds had not been secured; also it was deemed preferable to place the boarding-home in a residence street where a garden was possible, and more of a home atmosphere could be maintained. The sum of £3,500 is yet required.” [Advertiser 28 May 1913]
“The two-storied building in Carrington street, recently acquired by the Young Women's Christian Association as a hostel, so as to provide a convenient and desirable, home for girls, and to allow more room for the club work at the headquarters of the institution at Hindmarsh square, was formally opened by Lady Bosanquet.” [Express & Telegraph 12 Sep 1913]
“Y.W.C.A. . . Lady Galway, who is patroness of the association, declared open the Rose Birks wing of the Carrington-street hostel, which is a branch of the association. . . The new wing makes lasting the memory of the late Mrs. Charles Birks, who for years was actively associated with the work of the association, and a brass nameplate on the mantel in the dining-room honors the name of Mrs. W. B. Chinner, who was the first convener of the house committee.” [Advertiser 13 Jun 1914]
“A large gathering assembled at the Y.W.C.A. Hostel, in Carrington street, on Saturday afternoon, when a fete was held in aid of the funds of the institution. The superintendent (Mrs. E. O. Kelsey) personally conducted visitors over the residence, and explained the useful and educational work. Y.W.C.A. efforts were begun in Australia in 1872, and Mrs. Colton was the founder. . . This hostel is really the residential portion of the association, and it meets a great need. Owing to the generosity of the late Mrs. Charles Birks, the late Mr. R. Barr Smith, and others, a large wing was added a few years ago to the original building. Now about 46 girls can be accommodated there. In the present unusual times, when so many girls are taking their brothers' places in business, while those men folk are at the war, the hostel is the more invaluable as a home. These girls board there at reasonable rates, and there are also about 20 University students, and students of other colleges. The hostel is always full, and more accommodation is urgently required.” [Daily Herald 1 Oct 1917]
“The hostel in Carrington street averaged 30 permanent boarders; and in March the Y.W.C.A. Endowment Fund was opened with legacies received from the estates of the late Sir Joseph Verco and Mr. J. W. Grasby.” [News 28 Oct 1935]
“In the 58 years since Mrs. John Colton (later Lady Colton) and Mrs. James Robin formed the nucleus of the Adelaide Y.W.C.A., with a dozen girls whom they taught in Sunday school, and gathered together once a week for social evenings, the association has sponsored many educational, religious and community welfare works. . . The first rooms were taken in Franklin street in 1884. . . Newspaper girls were employed in the streets of Adelaide in 1886, and among these the Y.W.C.A. began its welfare work. . . The first residential accommodation was available to members in 1887, when the association moved to Flinders Chambers. . . Two years later larger rooms in Rundle street were obtained. . . In November, 1900, the Lady Colton Hall was opened. . . The Y.W.CA. residence was established in Carrington street in 1914, and is now the home of 32 girls. Last year more than 200 visitors also stayed at the home.” [Advertiser 7 Jul 1937]
“Y.W.C.A. . . During the last 14 months. 615 persons have been accommodated at the Carrington street hostel, which houses students, business girls, and travelling women and girls.” [Advertiser 16 Aug 1941]
DR A S PATERSON
“PATERSON.—On the 6th January, at his residence, Carrington-street, Alexander Stewart Paterson, M.D., L.R.C.S., aged 66 years.” [Advertiser 7 Jan 1902]
“Dr. Alexander Stewart Paterson. . . received his medical training at Edinburgh University, and came to Australia immediately after he had completed his studies. He became L.R.C.S., Edinburgh, in 1856, and obtained his M.D. degree in the following year. Similar degrees were conferred upon, him by the Melbourne University in 1865, and the Adelaide institution in 1877. In 1863 he was appointed medical officer to the Lunatic Asylum in Victoria, and filled the office with credit for about four years. In April, 1867, he was a successful applicant for the post of Resident Medical Officer of the Adelaide Lunatic Asylum. . . In January, 1870, he was gazetted Colonial Surgeon. . . He also acted as medical officer to the Adelaide Gaol for several years. . . Dr. Paterson married a daughter of the late Dr. Mayo. He has left a widow, five daughters, and two sons. His children are all unmarried.” [Register 7 Jan 1902}
Luisa Rios is the local coordinator of Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) key partner in the region, Sociedad Peruana de Derecho Ambiental (SPDA). “Brazil nuts are one of the most important forest products for export that we’ve got,” she says. “If we want these forests to produce not only today, but for the next 50 years, we need evaluate what is actually happening so that we can improve the best practice guidelines. This can only be done through field research on the ground.”
