A victory over 3rd bottom Southport Hesketh would've seen Longridge go 5 points clear at the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division with 4 games to play. Sadly, Town produced their worst performance of the season, going down 3-0 to a hard working Southport side, who played a 90 minutes that belied their League position.
Manager Lee Ashcroft started with two up front, Jack Preston joining Brad Carsley, with Jordan Bowen playing just in behind. Town started OK on a bumpy surface, with Carsley heading wide a Mark Woods cross after just 12 minutes, but four minutes later a Southport corner to the edge of the penalty area was volleyed home to put Hesketh 1-0 up.
The travelling Town support was to be disappointed if they expected a response from the League leaders as, playing into a strong wind, Longridge were struggling to get going, being out worked all over the pitch by the Home side.
After 38 minutes a free kick was lofted into the Longridge area and, after failing to clear their lines, Town went two down as the ball was stabbed home from six yards.
2-0 as the teams went in at half time, and Town would now be playing with the wind at their backs.
Former Southport player Mark Jeffers was introduced, in place of Jack Preston, at half time as Ashcroft look to get the ball wide and provide the ammunition for Carsley to add to his 26 goal tally.
Jeffers looked bright and Town started the half looking for the goal to get them back in the game, but the closest they came was a glancing header from Danny Morris that rolled wide from a corner.
Joe Melling was replaced by Jordan Tucker on the hour, as Ryan McKenna moved up front with Carsley, but it was all in vain as the Southport keeper remained untroubled, aside from showing good hands when saving a Carsley free kick on 76 minutes.
Just 2 minutes later it was all over, although it had felt that way for a while, as Southport outnumbered the Town defence and fired a 3rd goal into the corner of the net. 3-0.
The final 12 minutes were played out in the grim belief that Longridge had missed an opportunity, but Southport had played well and fully deserved their 3 points on the day.
After the match Manager Lee Ashcroft (pictured)was philosophical regarding his teams chances , " The important thing now is that we win our next 3 matches, as the outcome is still in our own hands then, before going to Blackpool on the final day. We were poor today admittedly, but we have to respond and I'm pleased that we have the chance to do that quickly with the Tempest game on Wednesday night."
Town now have 3 home games, starting on Wednesday night against Tempest United with a 7.30pm kick off, before then facing title rivals Blackpool Wren Rovers on the final day of the season on Saturday May 13th.
Today's result leaves Longridge two points clear at the top of the West Lancashire League Premier Division on 72 points, two clear of nearest challengers Wren Rovers.

Flushing Meadows-Corona Park
In 1939 and 1964, at two great turning points of the 20th century, Flushing Meadows hosted the World's Fair. The fairs were visited by hundreds of thousands- my grandparents saw both of them, and my father and wife's mother were at the 1964 fair as little kids. I wish I could have seen them
All that remains now are scattered in ruins throughout the park-- Ruins of structures that represented the deepest ideals of their time and that expressed an imagined future of hope and progress. It is interesting and sad that many of the promises presented by both Fairs were completely trampled in the years immediately following them.
The park is woefully neglected and fantastically hard to access- finding open access points is abnormally difficult. Ironically, the highways built in the 1930's to bring visitors to the World's Fair now bind the park in such a way that keeps most people out.
But actually, all this is a blessing, as, once in the park, you can be nearly alone amongst the relics of 20th century idealism. There is a strange surreal serenity here- like the landscape of a 1960's post-apocalyptic, failed-utopia science fiction movie.
Also, the park's neglect means you can approach a lot of the structures un-bothered. There's no other place in the city where you can skateboard around and even CLIMB on such internationally iconic structures as the Unisphere.
This is an excellent site about the '64 Fair - the maps are especially superb: www.westland.net/ny64fair/
These are some pictures of the 1939 Fair:

Sunday, 9 November 2014: thousands of motorcyclists, north and south, gather at meeting points around London's M25 and Manchester's M60 to take part in the "Ring of Red" a remembrance event in memory of members of the armed forces who have given their lives in the service of their country.
These were some of the scenes at Thurrock Services in Essex, one of the principle assembly points on the orbital M25 motorway around London, where riders and passengers dressed in red would set out to form a Ring of Red' around the capital, on the Remembrance Sunday, just two days ahead of the 2014 Armistice Day which would mark the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War.
Both this London event and its sister event around Manchester's M60, were strongly aimed towards fund-raising for armed services charities, and showing a mark of respect to the fallen.

shooting into the sun and breaking the traditional rules. this adventure into [or back to] the analog world is both enjoyable and beneficial to the digital side too. I think so much about each shot before I take it. and there's that terrifying moment afterward where you don't know if you've captured it correctly and you know that you have to wait until the film is finished and developed. maybe digital is just an adjunct to the analog world.
The GEF Biennial International Waters Conference (IWC) is the signature learning event for the GEF IW portfolio. The IWC objectives are to facilitate cross-sectoral and portfolio-wide learning and experience sharing. Participants sum up progress achieved and also look to the future of programming within and beyond the GEF IW focal area.
The IWC convenes about 300 participants, comprising GEF IW project managers, representatives of beneficiary countries, non-governmental organizations, transboundary management institutions, UN Agencies and the private sector.
The IWRM AIO SIDS project invited the focal points and demonstration project managers from Comoros, Seychelles, Mauritius, Maldives, Cabo Verde and São Tomé and PrÃncipe to take part to the Conference.

2000 Pavie Decesse St Emilion
96 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate
January 2003
Condition: In 2002, a big section of this vineyard will be incorporated into Pavie. The 2000 Pavie Decesse, made from 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc at yields of 30 hectoliters per hectare, enjoyed a five-week maceration and was aged in 100% new oak, with aging on its lees for the first six months. It was bottled unfined and unfiltered, as are all the Perse wines. This wine, for about one-half the price of Pavie, is well-worth checking out ... to state it mildly! A brilliant effort, the wine has an opaque bluish/purple color and a gorgeous nose of sweet blueberries, blackberries, charcoal, and mineral. The wine is full-bodied, rich, with striking purity, fabulous delineation, immense body and extract, and sweet but high levels of tannin in the finish, which goes on for nearly one minute. This is undoubtedly the greatest Pavie Decesse ever produced and a modern-day Bordeaux legend. At one-half the price of its sibling, Pavie, it should be obvious what readers should do! Anticipated maturity: 2008-2030. RP

Bright, deep ruby. Explosive aroma of roasted black cherry. Dense, highly concentrated and deep, with penetrating, palate-saturating flavors of blackberry and black cherry framed by firm underlying minerality. A wine of great force; despite its major ripeness, there's also a cool, medicinal aspect that's utterly refreshing. Finishes with big, broad tannins and outstanding length.
90 points, Wine Enthusiast

While Pavie itself goes for super-opulence, Pavie-Decesse is more restrained, more classic. It has harmony and balance, allowing the deep, black fruits to rest easily with the dense tannins. This is a wine which will age well, gracefully over 10 years and more.
94 points, Wine Spectator
July 2003
Extremely ripe, almost raisiny, with lots of Indian spices and prunes that turn to tar. Full-bodied, with loads of fruit and velvety tannins that emphasize the richness of the year and the class of the soil. Best after 2009. 2,080 cases made. –JS
Chateau Pavie Decesse belongs to Gerard Perse, a man whose dogmatic pursuit of "modern style" Bordeaux wine, borrowing techniques advocated by the garagiste estates but on a larger scale, having entered the region in 1993 when he acquired Château Monbousquet. Although Château Pavie remains his flagship estate, Chateau Pavie Decesse was actually purchased one year earlier in 1997, in some ways a stepping-stone towards his consequent acquisition. Although in some ways Pavie Decesse is overshadowed by the more illustrious Château Pavie, this is a wonderful estate and many prefer it to Perse's jewel in the crown.
Pavie Decesse is a much smaller vineyard than its grander sibling Château Pavie with just 9.1 hectares of vines perched further up on the crest of the slope on a chalky/limestone soil. Unlike Pavie, the wine is more of a Monocepage with 90% of the vines being Merlot, the remaining 10% Cabernet Franc. The vines are a respectable 43 years old on average. A similar draconian level of green harvesting is practice at Pavie Decesse as at Pavie, with vines pruned down to six buds. The grapes are picked by hand, sorted and then fermented in nine temperature-controlled wooden vats for three weeks. Approximately 2,000 cases are produced per annum with no second label.
The junction where the sternum (breastbone), collarbone and the first rib meet. This is a very important point and in acupuncture is referred to as K (kidney) 27. To locate it, first place your forefinger on the U-shaped notch at the top of the breastbone (about where a man would knot his tie). From the bottom of the U, move your forefinger down toward the navel 1 inch and then go to the left (or right) 1 inch. While not actually on the collarbone, we call it the collarbone point since it's a lot easier to say than "junction where the sternum (breastbone), collarbone and the first rib meet." www.tap4health.com

The Black Swan Racing #54 911 GT3 Cup car dominated the 2011 American Le Mans Series, a fitting follow-up to winning the 2010 ALMS championship. Driven by owner Tim Pappas and Jeroen Bleekemolen, the car won five of nine events and finished on the podium eight of nine times to win the 2011 championship by 14 points. Pappas also won the driver’s championship, closing an amazing year. Unfortunately for the GTC class, BSR has moved on to LMP2 class racing, so the only chance to see the #54 Porsche on the track going forward will be in Forza Motorsport 4. See if you can match Jereon’s record lap time 1:24.543 at Road Atlanta. ~FM4~

A set of old points on the Dockyard spur line from Inverkeithing. Despite having not been used for nearly 20 years and very overgrown, the line's status remains 'active' with signalling etc still in place. This old set of points were far enough along the line towards Jamestown that they may have pre-dated the reconfiguration of the old North Queensferry branch line following the Beeching Report to become the access line to what was at, that time, HM Dockyard, Rosyth. This photo was taken through the adjacent fence, incidentally.
