It’s just after 12:30pm on Tuesday, June 27th as P&W 2006, one of two GP38-2s bracketing today’s PR-3 wobbles east down the degrading Providence Journal spur to retrieve a trio of empty paper boxcars. Upon easing further into greenery and pulling out the set of high-cube boxcars, 2006 will shove northwest back to Atwells interlocking on Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor, where they will join the remaining consist and P&W 2008.
A new day is dawning..

Quand ton pote veut faire croire à ses potes qu'il est allé dans un super festoch et que t'as juste un projo et des idées à la con. J'en rigole encore aujourd'hui.
Sur le coup on était hyper hypés par notre délire... ... ... puis on a vu le résultat.
"Vas-y fais genre j'emballe une meuf !
-Tkt easy ! Blonde ? Brune ? Ils vont halluciner mec, tu sais que j'suis un pro de la retouche !! TU LE SAIS !!"
Résultat : vomi de clown. 🎉
Eux je sais pas s'ils ont halluciné au final mais nous ce soir-là grave en tout cas.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
When your buddy wants to make his friends believe he went to a great party and you just have a projector and some stupid ideas. I still laugh about it today.
At the time we were hyped by our delirium... ... ... then we saw the result.
"Go ahead, do like I'm packing a chick !
-No worry, easy ! Blonde ? Brunette ? They're going to be amazed, you know I'm a pro at retouching ! YOU KNOW IT !!!"
Result: clown vomit. 🎉
I don't know if they hallucinated in the end but we did that night.

Une séance photo très instructive dans cette belle perte avec Franck.
Cette fois-ci, elle coule bien.
Nous irons au-delà du bassin profond.
Les photos sont prises au flash (2 en contre jour et un vers l'appareil ) + un petit projo étanche pour déboucher le modèle.
La nuit tombe et les gars continuent de jouer, sans projo sauf peut être indirectement ma personne pour me rappeler que c'était cool de les voir s'éclater à l'heure où tout le monde rentre chez soi s'enfermer.....la même envie eux et moi, deux passions différentes....

Here I had a chance to do a kind of photomontage that I've wanted to try for a while, where I can sit in the same spot for a few hours and capture snippets of things that happened over time. In this case, the opportunity was a minor league baseball game at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, RI, where the "Pawsox" played the Columbus Clippers.
Here, we have everything from Bill Littlefield of WBUR's Only a Game sports news show having thrown the ceremonial first pitch, to the field attendants "painting" the word "Pawsox" in the dirt behind home plate, to the Pawsox replacing their pitcher, to a pitch, the delivery, and a batter about to swing at the ball. I then have the Red Sox team walking off the field after the game, and the pitcher being interviewed by a reporter about his victory.
Meanwhile, the same day, former Boston/Pawtucket star Jim Rice was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame up in Cooperstown, NY. For obvious reasons, this was unable to be included here, but believe me I tried to think of a way.
Annoyingly, the one thing I didn't think to get a picture of was the final scoreboard. Oh well, suffice to say the Pawtucket Red Sox defeated the Columbus Clippers 3-2, which is nice, because it sounds like they had been on a losing streak recently.
It was also my son's first baseball game, and he seemed to have a good time :-)
Chat nous a semblé plutôt sympa la séance photo, mais il faisait un poil trop chaud sous les projos !…

I rarely photograph the interior of people's homes, but this was an exception. An acquaintance of mine live here and I thought the place deserved to be flaunted in all its high dynamic range glory. Actually, she throws BDSM parties here every month or so (hence the title), and may use this photo or others on her website.
(best viewed in the light box) The remains of the Wickenden St Gateway mural. Demolition of the old section of RT 195 and the concrete abutment that holds this artwork has resumed.
The old 195 deck that crossed Bridge Street was the unofficial gateway to the Wickenden street commercial district. The bridge abutments and columns were adorned with art and advertisements that welcomed visitors to the neighborhood. In recent years, the artwork had been partly obscured by a rusty framework that bolstered the aging highway. The new "Iway" has replaced this part of 195.

I did request an upper floor room when I booked my Providence RI hotel and was rewarded with this view of the city looking east. I overlook the offices of the Providence Journal (‘The Pro Jo’), which has been published since 1829. The Pro Jo boasts of being America’s oldest daily newspaper in continuous production.
This swarm was flat on the sidewalk... I'm not sure what was going on... I left before they started stinging everyone...

MY PERSONAL NOTES:
In studying, researching and documenting my cousin Marie Rose Ferron, Stigmatist, Mystic, Bi-Locator, Intercedor & Victim Soul of Woonsocket, Providence Co. Rhode Island, USA., I have come to learn alot of information and have weeded out the facts from fiction fairly well thanks to some excellent documents. Rose, came to R.I. in the midst of a crisis like a flower-Rose in the midst of a garden was how she was placed by God and I now understand why she suffered so much for the love of this garden. It is no wonder to me anymore, that when the most wonderful Bishop William A. Hickey came to Little Rose and asked her if she would be willing to suffer and offer her sufferings for him, and his beloved Diocese- his precious flock, that she would without hesitation agree and suffered immensely beyond our wildest dreams. It is no wonder to me now, why Jesus had her suffer his precious wounds with him. Rose did suffer and her prayers were answered- the 61 excommunicated Sentinellists returned to their beloved Church. Miraculous Funds were raised as well. Even Bishop William A. Hickey had called these things "Miracles". What started out to be real honest, good-hearted intentions for good reasons on both sides of the "parties involved" in the "Sentinelle Affair" with much love and sweet devotion, somehow turned into a awful misunderstanding and miscommunication and later, sadly, became out of control, that I have to wonder if there was any way it could have been avoided. In my opinion from what I've read, "They were both right for their original ideas" but somehow fear, miscommunication, misinterpretations and other very passionate feelings got in the way of two great men whom were just simply trying to lead, or preserve for the love of their peoples. What started with good heart and good intentions would become "crossing the line" and "forced hands" each in "response" to the other that would cause deep pain and sadly the wound kept getting deeper and deeper out of control. Bishop Hickey had to lead a flock at a time, when World War I had devestated the World. Politics was in turmoil, the economy was shaken, and people were nervous, tired, and on the defense. They had to be. One thing I keep hearing all my life is be careful of talking about Politics, Culture, and Religion as those subjects are the most Sensitive of subjects which people become very passionate about and they can loose their heads in such passions, loose site of their true focus, and do and say things they don't mean or normally do. It is true. I've even lost mine before. I don't know why we just don't stand in our Faith and Beliefs without feeling the need to defend it so much, but we do. War time, I guess, make us worst. Canada had been taken over by Britain at one point and those wonderful French-Canadian people kept their language, their culture and their relgious beliefs alive while under British rule. It was vital for their survival. When many of them migrated to the USA, they had a strong will to continue to keep those things precious to them alive, even in this country. There's nothing wrong with that as a people, it's very admirable and wonderful- self-preservation. But America, so rapidly growing, and in particularly, Little Ole Rhode Island, was a different and growing place being mixed with many different peoples of different cultures and religions. Bishop William A. Hickey, a wonderful and great-hearted Bishop and leader, so devout and caring was he, had the job of leading a large flock that was growing with diversity by the second. The world was changing dramatically and rapidly and Little Rhode Island was no exception. His job was no easy task by far and was getting harder by the minute with the ever growing changes about and the constant growing demands of the area. There was even a bill passed that it was required for all peoples to learn English as a Universal language to keep up with the growing times so people wouldn't loose sight of communicaton which is vital if we are to live together in a growing community. Bishop Hickey, seeing this necessity as vital to the survival of communication of the community in order for it to grow together and function well together, followed suit by announcing a drive for a million dollars for some schools. He was right, a growing community with such diversity needs good communication in order for it to work well, grow and function together well. On the other hand, to the dear French-Canadian people, it meant having to give up a little- scratch that- a Big part of themselves, which they fought so hard all those years to preserve, which they didn't even do under the British rule! To them, to do so, is death of their beliefs, religion and culture and they could not have that- that is what made them- them! So you see, neither side was wrong at all, both were right in their Beliefs for survivals as a People. Division is a horrible thing. Both sides were left after it was all over with hurt and sadness and I don't believe either meant to hurt eachother, they just wanted to be heard, and preserve their peoples. It is really interesting to know they were ONE people yet divided by a simple concept on how to see things or handle the situation. How could they have a Universal and yet keep their Original? If Bishop Hickey hadn't stuck to his guns sort-to-speak, his flock would have been divided as they would not be able to "communicate" and work together well as a community in such a rapid growth time with such diverse people of different cultures etc... He wouldn't have been doing his job to keep his Flock United. If the French-Canadians hadn't stuck to their "guns" they would loose all that is them. So, how in the world did "United" become "Divided"? What a fine line! How do we grow together as a United People without giving up that part of ourselves and all we believe in? The forced hands out of response to eachother, got so vicious, lines that shouldn't have been crossed were, and Excommunication was it's last resort and sadly it had to be enforced. The poor Bishop had no choice, and I'm sure, since he went to Rose, with such a struggle, it had to be heart-breaking to him. Rose, french-canadian born, stuck in the middle- for the love of both causes, suffering for both, was considered a traitor by some for "conspiring" with the Bishop by accepting his plea. She was French-Canadian and loved her people dearly, she was also very devout, obedient, religious and would do what her beloved Bishop would ask of her. How heart-breaking it must have been for her, to see both sides in such turmoil! She prayed 24/7 and offered up all her sufferings- suffering all of Christ's wounds for the love of them both to find a resolution. All came to a head when the 61 Sentinellists were excommunicated and then later returned to the Church, Praise God! They loved their Church they didn't want to leave it! They just didn't want to loose themselves as a People! This event, however, left a silent scar that you can still see to this day amongst the dear French-Canadian of that area of how a sweet People trying to preserve all that they are was once seperated from a Church they so loved, for the sake of a "Universal" Language for the sake of "Growth" and you can see the "silent scar" it left on our beloved Church whom was just trying to care for it's people and keep them together while the diversity increased and the need for "Universal" began.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
May Our Beloved Father touch the hearts of both sides and heal the silent wounds of the precious cross both sides bore and May Rose's Heart Wound be healed to see that she suffered for a good cause, good people and to see the fruits of her labors!

(SOME IMPORTANT DATES AND FACTS COMPILED:)
"THE COST OF AMERICANIZATION"
"Universal Begins with WWI..."
"Pressures for assimilation from both church and civil leaders grew after WW I (World War I Ended With the Treaty of Versailles June 28, 1919 World War I (June1914-armistice took effect at 11:00 hours on 11 Nov 1918) was finally over). In Rhode Island the 1922 Peck Education Bill required all elementary school courses, including religion, be taught in English. It was later repealed. Bishop Hickey followed suit to English-language education by announcing a $1 Million Campaign for funds to construct diocesan high schools, with every parish assessed a quota. The Sentinelle Crisis resulted."
-----------------------------
St. Anne’s Parish would suffer painful divisions due to the fact that three prominent leaders of the 1924-1929 Sentinelle Movement were of the parish. They were Elphege J. Daignault, Phydime J. Hemond, and Dr. J. Gaspard Boucher, MD. The climax came in 1927 when twelve French-Canadian Parishes sued the Bishop in the Civil Courts over his right to seize parish funds. The Superior Court ruled that the parishes had a right to an accounting, but that the Bishop had the right to disperse parochial funds.
03 FEBRUARY 1914- A harbinger of the storms of LA SURVIVANCE to come at ST. ANNE'S PARISH began on the very day of FATHER NARCISSE LECLERC’s BURIAL on February 3, 1914. (LECLERC, NARCISSE (REV.) 1861 - 1914 WO006), Known as the MARIST CRISIS, it was a SEVEN WEEK long CRUSADE to PREVENT a French speaking BELGIAN MARIST ORDER from assuming direction of the parish, as decided by BISHOP Matthew A. Harkins † (Bishop: 11 Feb 1887 to 25 May 1921). A 23 MEMBER VIGILANCE COMMITTEE, led by ELPHEGE J. DAIGNAULT,
aka; DAIGNEAULT), a local WOONSOCKET LAWYER, was FORMED. OPPOSITION to the MARISTS was DUE to their VIEWS on ASSIMILATION. The COMMITTEE OPPOSED AMERICANIZATION, going so far as to surround the parish property with pickets to prevent FIVE MARIST PRIESTS, LED BY FATHER RAYMOND PLASMANS, S.M., from entering. Tactics of LOBBYING FOR a FRENCH-CANADIAN PASTOR included USE of 500 PARISHONERS watching the Rectory from both sides of Cumberland Street, newspaper articles, a pew rent strike, and visits to the Bishop.
Finally, on MARCH 21, 1914, the REVEREND CAMILLE VILLIARD was NAMED as PASTOR to SUCCEED REVEREND LECLERC. A native of YAMASKA, P.Q. CANADA, he had come to MANVILLE, RI. in 1895 at age 19. After graduating from Marieville College in Quebec, he studied theology at St. John’s Seminary, Brighton, MA and was ORDAINED on 29 JUNE 1904 in Providence, Rhode Island. FATHER RAYMOND PLASMANS, S.M., was NAMED to REPLACE FATHER CAMILLE VILLIARD as PASTOR of ST. CHARLES BORROMEO in PROVIDENCE, RI. The news was greeted by crowds in the Social District, who shouted themselves hoarse. Their courage and convictions against assimilation had united the entire parish.
Ten years of harmony ensued as the parish worked on fund-raising to build and finish a cathedral-like church, which would cost $150,000.
24 MAY 1914- (On MARIE ROSE FERRON'S 12th BIRTHDAY), some 15,000 attended the LAYing of the CORNERSTONE of ST. ANNE'S Church, (The Parish where 3 future, head Sentinellists would belong to) followed by a two division parade with 2,000 marchers made up of church and French fraternal orders. The flags of Quebec could be seen everywhere, along with American and Canadian flags. The actual DEDICATION was by MSGR. THOMAS A. DORAN, VICAR-GENERAL of the DIOCESE, ACTING FOR BISHOP HAWKINS.
*28 July 1914: Austria declared war on Serbia. (WWI is brewing...) (How interesting 28 July is start of Rose's persecution)
*1 August 1914: Germany declared war on Russsia.
*3 August 1914: Germany declared WAR on France. WWI had BEGUN.
*4 August 1914: Britain declares war on Germany.
*11 November 1918: WWI ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. (how interesting Rose died on 11th)
1922 in Rhode Island: Peck Education Bill required all elementary school courses, including religion, be taught in English. It was later repealed.
JANUARY 1923- BISHOP WILLIAM A. HICKEY followed suit to ENGLISH language (UNIVERSAL- Language) education by announcing a $1 MILLION CAMPAIGN for funds to construct diocesan high schools, with every parish assessed a quota to his priests.
JANUARY 1923- A group of MILITANT ADVOCATES of MDULla survivance, (French-Canadians), LED BY a former City Solicitor ELPHEGE J. DAIGNAULT, a WOONSOCKET LAWYER, BEGAN ORGANIZING AGAINST DIOCESAN FUND DRIVES. He SENT A LETTER of PROTEST to the SACRED CONGREGATION OF THE COUNCIL in ROME pointing out that in the DIOCESE OF PROVIDENCE there were 96 parishes but only 46 of them had schools. The signers of the letter asked the HOLY FATHER to intervene to halt the drive in view of the fact that there had already been two drives within the last few years to raise large sums for PROVIDENCE COLLEGE. They described the new, even larger drive, as an "exorbitant tax that the faithful cannot pay without putting in danger their churches, their schools and all the Catholic works they look after."
1924-ELPHEGE J. DAIGNAULT FOUNDED & PUBLISHED- LA SENTINELLE, 'THE SENTINEL,' a newspaper, that would print the future protests and events that would take place.
1925-1925, after having consulted QUEBEC CANON LAWYERS and HIRING- an ITALIAN LAWYER familiar with the procedures of the ROMAN CURIA, Daignault SUBMITTED A FORMAL PETITION to the SACRED CONGREGATION OF THE COUNCIL asking the Congregation to halt what they continued to describe as an illegal assessment of parish funds on Bishop Hickey's part. In the course of giving instructions to his pastors as to the manner in which they should submit the funds they collected in the high school drive to the diocese, Bishop Hickey had authorized them to take from parish funds whatever they needed to make up the difference between their parish goals and the amount they had collected up to the deadline for reporting the results of the drive. When Bishop Hickey assured the Congregation that his instructions were meant to facilitate the collection of funds in a timely manner and were not to be regard as an assessment, the CONGREGATION DISMISSED DAIGNAULT'S PETITION AS BEING WITHOUT GROUNDS.
DATE UNKNOWN- Other funds came from his two chief but silent clerical supports, FATHER JOSEPH BELAND and FATHER ACHILLE PRINCE. Previous to the civil court verdict, Bishop Hickey had removed Father Prince as pastor of St. Louis, Woonsocket, and placed an administrator in charge of Father Beland's parish, Notre Dame, Central Falls. Father Prince's removal prompted another pew rent strike in Woonsocket in which a substantial number of French-Canadians joined. After the civil courts had decided the case, Bishop Hickey announced the penalty of excommunication that canon law imposed on Daignault and the 55 others who had signed the papers supporting the petition Daignault submitted to the courts, because they did so without permission. In addition to the decrees of excommunication, Bishop Hickey also announced that Rome had placed La Sentinelle on the Index. When news of the ban on La Sentinelle was published by several Canadian bishops, who the Sentinellists felt had supported them in the past, the position of Daignault's group was severely weakened.
25 MAY 1925- MARIE ROSE FERRON, MOVES INTO 157 West St., ?#floor, WOONSOCKET, Providence County, Rhode Island. (Rose, would become a flower- a rose in the MIDST of passions brewing and her outcome of her investigations of her cause for Jesus would sadly be lost in the midst of all the turmoil, confusion, passion, and conflict.)
NOVEMBER 1925- ELPHEGE J. DAIGNAULT, took over DIRECT EDITOR CONTROL of the LA SENTINELLE, "THE SENTINEL'.
EARLY 1927- (ABT.? FEB. 12, 1927??)- 1) ELPHEGE J. DAIGNAULT, 2) PHYDIME J. HEMOND, and 3) DR. J. GASPARD BOUCHER, MD. and 58 SUPPORTERS of 12 FRENCH CANADIAN PARISHES, FILED a LAWSUIT AGAINST (V.) the BISHOP, PROVIDENCE DIOCESE, in CIVIL COURT (LATER IN SUPERIOR COURT) CHALLENGING THE AUTHORITY OF THE DIOCESE OF PROVIDENCE to take money from individual parishes.
1925- BISHOP WILLIAM A. HICKEY meets Little MARIE ROSE FERRON, is impressed with her and asks her if she would be willing to "suffer and offer up her sufferings to Our Lord, for the sake of his beloved Diocese, and his flock which included the 56-61 Sentinellists he was may have to excommunicate and for the sake of him." Without hestitation, Rose, obediently, faithfully and very lovingly agreed with full-heart and did so! She would become 1 out 150 known Stigmatics, and 1 out of 30 known to have all 5 of Christ's precious wounds, and the #'s decrease even more when you consider that she suffered more! Her sufferings and 24/7 prayers didn't go unanswered as the 56-61 excommunicated Sentinellists did return to their beloved Church- the last being on 17 May 1929! Bishop Hickey would also see another miracle- Huge funds were raised despite the economy and the times and the schools would be built!
JULY1927- At HOLY FAMILY CHURCH, (Marie Rose Ferron's beloved Parish), the DIOCESE WAS PROVOKED INTO RESPONDING. One Sunday during a PEW RENT STRIKE, the priests stopped people and asked for their contributions before a Mass began. After the HOLY FAMILY CHURCH incident and WHEN A PRIEST (FA. ACHILLE PRINCE), PERCEIVED AS FAVORING the SENTINELLES WAS REMOVED from ST. LOUIS CHURCH, WOONSOCKET, RI., the Sentinelles drove home their CLAIM OF OPPRESSION by the diocesan leadership.
SEPTEMBER 1927- Sorrell calls the high-water mark of the movement. Estimates are that a September 1927 RALLY at ST. LOUIS FIELD may have drawn 10,000 people.
**OCTOBER 1927 or 1928- RI. SUPERIOR COURT DISMMISSED the SENTINELLE SUIT and its SIGNERS WERE WARNED OF POSSIBLE EXCOMMUNICATION. When the Rhode Island courts took up the case both the superior court judge, who initially heard the case, and the Supreme Court justices, to whom Daignault appealed the verdict rendered against him by the superior court, also upheld the bishop's position.
JANUARY 1928, BISHOP HICKEY ANNOUNCE THOSE WHO WERE'NT CONTRIBUTING as they could were in a STATE OF MORTAL SIN.
19 FEBRUARY 1928- BISHOP WILLIAM A. HICKEY WARNS IN LETTER: SOME MOVEMENT LEADERS were REFUSED COMMUNION
**08 APRIL 1928- EXCOMMUNICATION- ELPHEGE J. DAIGNAULT went to ROME TWICE to PLEAD his CASE and while there, the EXCOMMUNICATIONS of EVERYONE (58-62) WHO JOINED IN LAWSUIT WERE ANNOUNCED- The ROMAN CHURCH RULED THEY HAVE 1 YEAR TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE AUTHORITY OF THE BISHOP, SUBMIT THEMSELVES & REPENT or BE DECLARED HERETICS. (APRIL 1928-APRIL 1929) But excommunication ended it. Sorrell said the Sentinellists wanted to change the way their church was run, not to leave it. When the diocese transformed the controversy from one over accounting procedures to one of the fate of a person's soul.
23 FEBRUARY 1929, SUN., ALL BUT 4 RETURNED/SUBMITTED/REPENTED TO BSP. By Feb. 1929 all but 4 had repented. But ON THIS DAY, at Masses in their own churches-Included at St. Anne’s was Elphege Daignault. The 4th- Phydime J. Hemond, was the last to repent holding out til 17 May 1929.
***MAY 1929- Hemond's father whom Sorrell said had torn the excommunication order up in front of the PRIEST who DELIVERED IT _ held out until May 1929, but in the end he too came back to the fold.
***MAY 17, 1929- PHYDIME J. HEMOND, of St. Annes last to repent even got a month's extension to decide and finally relented on 17 May 1929.

Providence’s Soviet sub being dismantled
By Philip Marcelo
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Soviet submarine that served as a local museum on the city waterfront before sinking three years ago is heading to the great scrap heap in the sky.
Over the last five weeks, the workers over at Rhode Island Recycled Metals, on Allens Avenue, have been dismantling the rusted, barnacle-encrusted shell of the Juliett 484, also known as the K-77.
The crew has been ripping up the sub from the top down, tearing through the thick rubber casing that sealed the exterior and removing the radar tower and four missile tubes, each weighing about 40 tons each.
It’s a slow process. Because the sub is so heavy, it can’t be scrapped on shore. Instead, the dismantling process is taking place well in the harbor, the sub pinned against two hulking barges to keep from floating away.
www.projo.com/photos/20100428/ri0428_Russiansub_1_04-28-1...
Surrounded by an armada of fishing boats and tugboats also destined for the scrap heap, it is a humbling end to a warship whose mission, at the height of the Cold War, had been to patrol the U.S. coast.
Workers are careful to pull the metal off evenly from the front and rear of the vessel so that it doesn’t tip over. As heavy pieces are removed, the sub — almost two-thirds of it under the surface — floats a little higher, and workers can remove more metal.
Soon, they will have to crawl deep into sub’s bowels to remove the motors and generators. Eventually, it will be light enough to drag to shore, where work could be completed by the summer.“It’ll be a lot of hand-work down there. Very tight corners,” says Rhode Island Recycled Metals co-owner Edward Sciaba.
Barges carry the salvaged metals to shore, where each piece is broken down into its various metal components. The valuable copper, aluminum, brass, titanium, platinum and stainless steel parts are separated and sorted to ensure that the most value is squeezed out of the 3,400-ton vessel.
When the market is right, the metal will be sold. But world prices for many metals are down. The financial crisis in Greece, explains Sciaba, is dragging down prices, so the metal is being stockpiled.
Sciaba launched the metals recycling company last summer with co-owner Ralph Sevinor. They purchased the sub for an undisclosed amount as their first major project.
It took some time for the scrapping to get under way. Sevinor and Sciaba had to line up permits from the state and the Coast Guard and purchase costly equipment, such as an excavator with a shear for cutting through massive metal parts, a boat to ferry workers and supplies to the barges where the dismantling takes place, and a crane with a 125-ton capacity.
The Juliett-class submarine was one of the largest non-nuclear submarine types ever built by the Soviets, according to the foundation that used to operate it as a museum.
The 45-year-old diesel-powered missile sub was decommissioned in 1994 and came to rest on the city’s waterfront, after stints in the food service industry (it served as a restaurant on the North Sea) and Hollywood (it was featured in the 2002 Harrison Ford film “K-19: The Widowmaker”).
Purchased by the nonprofit group USS Saratoga Museum Foundation Inc. in 2002, the submarine became the Russian Sub Museum, a peculiar tourist destination on the industrial Allens Avenue waterfront. The museum raised money for the foundation’s efforts to try to berth the decommissioned aircraft carrier Saratoga in Rhode Island.
But in 2007, water entered the sub’s hatches during a torrential rainstorm and the sub sank.
The sub spent more than a year at the bottom of the harbor before Navy and Marine salvage experts helped raise it. The damage, though, was extensive, and the museum foundation determined it was more prudent to cut its losses and sell the vessel for scrap.

At "Asian Paradise" the local asian food restaraunt near RISD back in Providence, RI, I was able to get my FAVORITE thing to eat: Bee Bong.
From what I understand, it's a Vietnamese dish of cold noodles, chicken, basil, cucumber and sprouts. I can't remember if there was more to it than that.
I tried to find a recipe online, but this is the only mention of it I could find:
www.tasteri.com/projo/reviews/022802.htm
Using that description I tried to make it myself (using seitan and minus the peanuts, I forgot, oops) and...... I somehow failed. It didn't taste right. And I dont' know what's missing.
Does anyone know a recipe for Bee Bong? Or a place where I might find it? Google has proved fruitless.
Maybe I just need to give "Asian Paradise" a call...do you think they'd share the recipe? Hmmm.
The remains of the Wickenden St Gateway mural. Demolition of the old section of RT 195 and the concrete abutment that holds this artwork will resume next week.
The old 195 deck that crossed Bridge Street was the unofficial gateway to the Wickenden street commercial district. The bridge abutments and columns were adorned with art and advertisements that welcomed visitors to the neighborhood. In recent years, the artwork had been partly obscured by a rusty framework that bolstered the aging highway. The new "Iway" has replaced this part of 195.

Providence’s Soviet sub being dismantled
By Philip Marcelo
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A Soviet submarine that served as a local museum on the city waterfront before sinking three years ago is heading to the great scrap heap in the sky.
Over the last five weeks, the workers over at Rhode Island Recycled Metals, on Allens Avenue, have been dismantling the rusted, barnacle-encrusted shell of the Juliett 484, also known as the K-77.
The crew has been ripping up the sub from the top down, tearing through the thick rubber casing that sealed the exterior and removing the radar tower and four missile tubes, each weighing about 40 tons each.
It’s a slow process. Because the sub is so heavy, it can’t be scrapped on shore. Instead, the dismantling process is taking place well in the harbor, the sub pinned against two hulking barges to keep from floating away.

Surrounded by an armada of fishing boats and tugboats also destined for the scrap heap, it is a humbling end to a warship whose mission, at the height of the Cold War, had been to patrol the U.S. coast.
Workers are careful to pull the metal off evenly from the front and rear of the vessel so that it doesn’t tip over. As heavy pieces are removed, the sub — almost two-thirds of it under the surface — floats a little higher, and workers can remove more metal.
Soon, they will have to crawl deep into sub’s bowels to remove the motors and generators. Eventually, it will be light enough to drag to shore, where work could be completed by the summer.“It’ll be a lot of hand-work down there. Very tight corners,” says Rhode Island Recycled Metals co-owner Edward Sciaba.
Barges carry the salvaged metals to shore, where each piece is broken down into its various metal components. The valuable copper, aluminum, brass, titanium, platinum and stainless steel parts are separated and sorted to ensure that the most value is squeezed out of the 3,400-ton vessel.
When the market is right, the metal will be sold. But world prices for many metals are down. The financial crisis in Greece, explains Sciaba, is dragging down prices, so the metal is being stockpiled.
Sciaba launched the metals recycling company last summer with co-owner Ralph Sevinor. They purchased the sub for an undisclosed amount as their first major project.
It took some time for the scrapping to get under way. Sevinor and Sciaba had to line up permits from the state and the Coast Guard and purchase costly equipment, such as an excavator with a shear for cutting through massive metal parts, a boat to ferry workers and supplies to the barges where the dismantling takes place, and a crane with a 125-ton capacity.
The Juliett-class submarine was one of the largest non-nuclear submarine types ever built by the Soviets, according to the foundation that used to operate it as a museum.
The 45-year-old diesel-powered missile sub was decommissioned in 1994 and came to rest on the city’s waterfront, after stints in the food service industry (it served as a restaurant on the North Sea) and Hollywood (it was featured in the 2002 Harrison Ford film “K-19: The Widowmaker”).
Purchased by the nonprofit group USS Saratoga Museum Foundation Inc. in 2002, the submarine became the Russian Sub Museum, a peculiar tourist destination on the industrial Allens Avenue waterfront. The museum raised money for the foundation’s efforts to try to berth the decommissioned aircraft carrier Saratoga in Rhode Island.
But in 2007, water entered the sub’s hatches during a torrential rainstorm and the sub sank.
The sub spent more than a year at the bottom of the harbor before Navy and Marine salvage experts helped raise it. The damage, though, was extensive, and the museum foundation determined it was more prudent to cut its losses and sell the vessel for scrap.
