Burnley take on Southampton at Turf Moor on Saturday with both teams looking to turn around their faltering Premier League form.
The Clarets are without a win in their last 10 Premier League outings, while their visitors have only won one game out of their last 13 - a 3-2 win against fellow strugglers West Brom.
Despite recent poor form, Burnley still sit in a lofty seventh place in the Premier League thanks to an excellent start to the season, meanwhile, Southampton are currently sitting in the final relegation spot, 10 points behind their hosts.
With both teams losing in their last league outing and currently finding wins in the league hard to come by, it may prove to be an interesting game.
Here's everything you need to know as the Clarets meet the Saints.
This was an FA Cup 3rd round meeting between a Premier League and then Championship side, which seemed to be dominated by now Liverpool players.
The game looked to be going to form for Southampton, as they went in at half time with a comfortable 2-0 lead thanks to two quick goals from Nathaniel Clyne and Rickie Lambert.
But the Premier League side wouldn't have it all their own way as Sam Vokes scored a header, and Danny Ings finished to bring the scores level before the hour mark.
Ex-Clarets striker Jay Rodriguez came back to haunt his old club when he struck to restore Southampton's lead in the 66th minute, and Adam Lallana seemed to take the game away from the Championship club with Southampton's fourth.
Burnley struck back with an 87th minute header from Kevin Long to set up a frantic final few minutes, but they were unable to find the goal to take the tie to a replay.

The battle of the central midfielders. With both teams not known as the most prolific in front of goal, the match could be won in the middle of the park.
Jack Cork will be returning to where he plied his trade between the years of 2011 and 2015. The 28-year-old has played in every Premier League game for Burnley since joining from Swansea in the summer.
Cork will be in the midfield battle with Mario Lemina, who has made slightly less appearances than his counterpart this season, by taking to the field 19 times. As with Cork, Lemina was a new addition to the team during the summer, but has had a positive impact in the defensive midfield position.
While neither player is prolific in front of goal, whoever can dominate the midfield, and break up the oppositions play could have a big saying on the outcome of the game.
Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino has confirmed that attacking midfielder Sofiane Boufal is fit and in contention to play after he missed the FA Cup win over West Brom with a knock. Both Shane Long and Steven Davis are unlikely to be able to feature in the game.
Southampton have also confirmed that defender Maya Yoshida will be out of action for 'four to five weeks', while striker Charlie Austin will not be available for the weekend's game, with no return date set for the Englishman.
For Burnley, Chris Wood and Dean Marney are fit enough to come back into contention for Saturday's game. Defender James Tarkowski is rated at 'touch and go' by manager Sean Dyche after missing the last three games with a groin strain. Scott Arfield is also a doubt for the match after picking up a calf injury.
Sean Dyche confirms that Chris Wood and Dean Marney could come back into contention for the weekend game v @SouthamptonFC. James Tarkowski is rated "touch-and-go" and Scott Arfield is a doubt (calf).
Goalkeeper Tom Heaton started his comeback from a dislocated shoulder by playing a training game against Blackpool in the week, but will still be unavailable for the next few weeks.
Both teams are in really poor form in the Premier League, and will be desperate to turn it around. Burnley had a free weekend last week, while Southampton beat West Brom for the second time in three weeks to reach the FA Cup quarter final. The success in the cup could really boost Southampton players' confidence ahead of an important run of fixtures for the Saints' survival hopes.
Burnley Stated the season brilliantly, and may have just taken their foot off the gas over the last few weeks. They are sitting in seventh place, with no threat of relegation, so may find motivation hard to come by towards the business end of the season, compared to teams scrapping for their lives.

My name is Michael Jack. I am a former Ontario Provincial Police officer. I am an Israeli-Canadian of Russian Jewish heritage. The correct spelling of my given name (in Latin letters) is Mikhail. However, it has never been used in any documents. I have always used Michael. My former surname in Russian, before it was “changed” to Jack, is (in Cyrillic) Жак (properly pronounced: Jacques).
I was born on December 16, 1972, in St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) in Russia. I lived in St. Petersburg for 17 years until February 1990, when our family (my mother, my father and I) immigrated to Israel. From February 1990, until September 2000, I lived predominantly in Israel, where I attended a marine technological school and marine college and served in the Israeli Navy from May 1993, until April 1996. From May 1996, until July 1997, I worked in the Israeli Merchant fleet – I lived and worked on a number of different merchant ships wherever they sailed. From July 1997, until September 2000, I worked for Intel Electronics Ltd. From September 1997, until September 1998, I lived and worked in the USA as part of my job related training. From September 1998, until September 2000, I lived and worked in Israel. In September 2000, I immigrated to Canada. I lived in Peterborough, Ontario from September 30, 2000, until December 2010. From January 2001, until August 2006, I studied and worked at Trent University in Peterborough, during which time I earned two degrees – Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Master of Science in the Applications of Modeling in the Natural & Social Sciences. I graduated from Trent University with a 91.4 cumulative average and during my schooling I was the recipient of multiple awards and prestigious scholarships for my academic achievements, teaching assistance, interpersonal and leadership abilities, and research accomplishments. From January 2007, until July 2008, I worked as a course instructor (adjunct faculty professor) in the Computer Science department at Trent University.
In August 2007 I met the Chief of York Regional Police, Armand La Barge, in the Trent University’s weight lifting room. At the time, I was teaching Computer Science courses on a contract basis and was looking for a permanent job where I could maximize my skills and cash in upon the knowledge and skills acquired over the 35 years of my life. At the time, the Chief was completing his Master’s degree in Canadian and Native Studies at Trent University. During a few workouts together we talked a fair amount and among other things discussed our traveling and academic experiences, books we read in common, spirituality, religion, physical fitness and firearms. In one of the conversations towards the end of August the Chief said that I had some great qualifications. He further suggested that modern police services were looking for people with multilingual and computer skills and that I was a good candidate for becoming a police officer. I did not know much about policing at the time, but the Chief presented himself to me as an erudite and wise man and literally inspired me and gave me the encouragement to re-evaluate the direction of my life. I decided then and there that I would pursue a career in policing.
In March 2008 I obtained my O.A.C.P. Certificate of Results (a mandatory set of tests required to be passed by an applicant to qualify for applying with any police service in the province of Ontario) through the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and applied to the York Regional Police and the Ontario Provincial Police. A couple of weeks later I also applied to the Halton Regional Police. The OPP was the first one to get back to me and invite me for an interview.
On May 29, 2008, I was interviewed by two recruiting sergeants (Sergeant Joanne Whitney and Sergeant Steve Haennel) at the OPP headquarters in Orillia. Some 20-30 minutes after the interview, when I was en route to Peterborough, I got a phone call on my cellular phone from Sergeant Haennel who told me they believed I was a good fit for their organization and they had a psychological assessment ready for me on the following day if I was interested, to which I immediately agreed. He also said that I could come in dressed casually.
On May 30, 2008, I successfully passed my psychological assessment and informed Sergeant Haennel that I had been scheduled for an interview with the Halton Regional Police on June 6, 2009, and asked him for advice on my course of action. Sergeant Haennel said that while he could not tell me what to do, he said, 'We want you' and reassured me that they were going to put my application on a fast track. There was a feeling of trust in what he was saying to me so I cancelled my interview with the Halton Regional Police service and informed Sergeant Haennel about it via email the following day.
Sergeant Haennel was true to his word and my was fast-tracked. It was conducted by Constable Alice Jolicoeur (badge 7454).
On or about July 25, 2008, I signed an offer of employment from the OPP and was advised of my posting at the Peterborough County OPP Detachment.
On or about July 27, 2008, I got a call from a York Regional Police recruiter inviting me for an interview, which I turned down due to the fact that I had already been hired by the OPP.
For almost eight years that I studied and worked at Trent University, which is a multicultural environment comprised of students and faculty from all over the world, there has not been a single incident where I felt I was discriminated against or harassed based upon my strong Russian accent, place of origin, ethnic origin, racial status, creed, or the fact that I was not originally from the Peterborough area. I was valued and appreciated for my work ethic, initially as a student and then as an instructor in the Computer Science department. During my time at Trent University it never dawned on me that outside of the University boundaries in the Peterborough area I would encounter a different environment. I did not know what I was getting myself into when I was posted at the Peterborough Detachment. Not only did I have no opportunities at the Peterborough Detachment to apply my multilingual, multicultural and computer skills (which were the very reasons I chose the occupation of a police officer based upon the suggestion of a Police Chief that my skills constituted great assets in modern policing), but in addition to numerous violations of Ontario Provincial Police Orders with respect to dealing with me I was also subjected to acts of harassment, racial and place of origin discrimination because I was well-educated, was not a local, was of a Russian Jewish heritage, was of Israeli citizenship and most notably spoke English with an extremely noticeable and thick Russian accent.
From September 1, 2008, until November 27, 2008, I attended the Ontario Police College in Aylmer from which I graduated with a 91.6 cumulative average (course average was 81.5; number of recruits approximately 470). At the college I was the recipient of the 100% on the Ontario Police Fitness Award (only 5 recruits (1%) received the award). From November 30, 2008, until January 9, 2009, I was trained at the Provincial Police Academy. At the Academy I was the recipient of a “Top Dog” award for being the best in my class (108 recruits) in handgun use based on draw speed, shooting speed and accuracy.
From January 12, 2009, I was posted at the Peterborough County OPP Detachment as a Probationary Constable (my badge number was 12690). From January 12, 2009, until August 20, 2009, I worked on Platoon ‘A’ shift. My shift supervisor was Sergeant Robert Flindall (badge 9740) and my coach officer was Constable Shaun Filman (badge 11212). From August 21, 2009, until December 15, 2009, I worked on Platoon ‘D’ shift. My shift supervisor was Sergeant Peter Butorac (badge 6901) and my second coach officer was Constable Richard Nie (badge 10517). Staff Sergeant Ron Campbell (badge 6385) was the Operations Manager from before I reported to the Peterborough Detachment until late November 2009. Inspector Mike Johnston (badge 6138) was the Detachment Commander from before I reported to the Peterborough Detachment until October 2009.
Accused me of answer shopping and when I stopped asking questions for fear of reprisals accused me of not asking questions and when I started asking questions again accused me of asking questions I already knew answers to.
There was a total aberration of policies (be it the Ontario Provincial Police Orders or Human Rights Code or the Ontario Public Service) when it came to dealing with me.
On December 15, 2009, I was released from employment with the OPP based on my failure to meet the requirements of the position of a Probationary Constable based on my unsatisfactory work performance during my probationary, that is, discriminatory, harassing, bulling, humiliating, derogatory and oppressing period. I was not dismissed from employment with the OPP because of budget cuts or because there was a shortage of the positions. As a matter of fact, during my time at the Peterborough County OPP Detachment, the detachment was understaffed – we were short of 5 police officers! My dismissal from employment was orchestrated by a few officers from the Peterborough County OPP Detachment who were biased against me and targeted me with all they had. The majority of them were locals with a scope of view limited to their county only. They deliberately turned a blind eye to the potential I had and the benefits I could have brought to the OPP in the long run. What a shame! What a disservice to the very organization they are part of!
When I was driven back from the City of Kawartha Lakes Detachment on December 13, 2009, by Sgt. Peter Butorac after having been served by Staff Sergeant Mike Reynolds with the Notice of Proposed Release from Employment, I was talking about how wrong everything that was done to me was at which time Sgt. Butorac told me that they could only do so, so long, until someone who has a lot of money sues the OPP. I did not understand the significance of his revelation to me at the time, but I certainly do understand it now. While I have very little money at my disposal, I have my strong will and dedication to this case, for I firmly believe that evil must be punished.
Currently I have an application before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO 2010-07633-I). The first set of 3 hearing days took place on May 22-24, 2012. The second set of hearing days took place on November 1-2 and 5-7, 2012. Furthermore, on March 15, 2013, my friend and representative filed a Statement of Claim (CV-13-476321) on my behalf with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto. This claim is literally all I have to live for and coupled with my strong desire to expose the truth about the OPP and how its minority employees who speak with a thick accent are treated, I am extremely concerned of prematurely filling a withdrawal of my Application before the Tribunal in the event that my claim is barred from proceeding for whatever reason. The barring reason that is of primary concern to me is that of over-coming a perceived breach of the Limitations Act. For that reason we have put forth a motion before the Tribunal requesting that my proceedings before the presiding Vice Chair Mr. Keith Brennenstuhl be frozen on the grounds that this Statement Claim has been filed and that a motion for withdrawal will be forthcoming should the claim be allowed to proceed.
Having analyzed the Respondent's disclosure (volumes upon volumes of information) the picture is clear. After the two ride-alongs in August 2008, with two Peterborough County OPP officers – Constable Marc Gravelle (badge 12091) and Constable John Pollock (badge 11714) – unbeknownst to me, I was labeled crazy Russian ('Crazy Ivan') who allegedly killed 'shot' many people during my time with the Israeli Army. Subsequent to that I was subjected to the so-called "follow-up" on my completed background investigation and an additional psychological assessment with the OPP's civilian psychologist Dr. Denis Lapalme on my first day at the Provincial Police Academy. While I had successfully passed both of the additional checks, as a result of the Defamation by Libel and Slander my work environment at the Peterborough County OPP was poisoned prior to me even reporting there for duty. Those acts of Defamation injured my reputation and lowered me in the estimation of some members of the Peterborough County OPP Detachment and in particular caused them to regard me with feelings of hatred, contempt, ridicule, fear, or dislike. In short, I sensed that I was not welcome by some members of the Peterborough County OPP Detachment on my very first working day there.
Despite my first coach officer (Constable Shaun Filman) treating me like a leper I managed to stay afloat for a few months due to being proactive at studying the job on my own, receiving help from those who were willing to assist me and relatively light workload compared with the busy summer period. When the busy summer season began, instead of helping me, some officers, primarily Sergeant Robert Flindall and Constable Jennifer Payne (badge 9931), started deliberately targeting and ‘drowning’ me.
Specifically, on one occasion on July 23, 2009, I was directed by Sergeant Robert Flindall to have an individual arrested and charged with Criminal Harassment (SP09164458) and to continue the detention of the individual by having him held for a ‘show cause’ hearing the next day before a Judge or Justice so as to get the individual released on certain conditions. This was contrary to everything that I was taught since there was legally no statutory authority to justify the continued detention of such an individual especially since I, as the Officer in Charge of the investigation, could impose the same conditions that a Judge or Justice would. I was left alone to work overtime on the case - a case that due to the tenderness of my service I had absolutely no experience dealing with. Upon the advice of Constable Jamie Brockley (the common-law spouse of Constable Jennifer Payne-Brockley at the time) I arrested and then released the prisoner the following day on a Promise to Appear and Undertaking before an Officer in Charge for Criminal Harassment. I released him with certain conditions. Sergeant Flindall, who was on vacation at the time was telephoned by Constable Jennifer Payne and advised that I had disobeyed his directions. Upon his return Sergeant Flindall reprimanded me sternly in the presence of my coach officer, Constable Shaun Filman and an Ontario Provincial Police Association representative stating to me among many other things, ‘I have never had such an incompetent recruit yet.’ Sergeant Flindall went on to tell me that my job was in jeopardy for mishandling the investigation and taking too long to complete it. He also denied the approval of the overtime I incurred while working on this case. It was my overtime work after the individual was arrested and released that revealed that there were no grounds to charge the individual. However, as per the orders of my supervisor I had to do so. Failure to have complied with his order would have certainly resulted in giving him grounds to charge me with Disobeying an Order under the Police Services Act.
Basically, I arrested and charged an individual without due investigation simply because his brother-in-law coerced his wife to use police to take the individual off their back for owing him large sums of money. Had I only been given more time to properly investigate the matter, I would have never charged that individual with anything. He should have either been spoken to or in the worst case scenario had a Peace Bond imposed on him through the courts.
As a result of the overall treatment thus far, which I could continue writing about on and on, I contacted the Ontario Provincial Police Association on August 4, 2009, and conveyed my concerns to them. However, it was not long after doing so that I started experiencing severe reprisals. Sergeant Robert Flindall and Constable Jennifer Payne literally launched an annihilation campaign against me in an open manner and in dire violations of the Ontario Provincial Police orders.
The overall treatment that I endured was also criminally wrong. The 'Crazy Ivan' nick name that was given to me was slanderously defamatory. Moreover, an e-mail from Sergeant Brad Rathbun of the Peterborough Detachment in August 2008 (months before I even commenced my employment at the Detachment) wherein he inferred that the OPP ought to have had some concerns about granting employment to an individual that is bragging about the many people he has killed (shot) during his service time with the Israeli Army was libelously defamatory. First of all, it was filled with lies and secondly, I served with the Israeli Navy and not the Army. More so, during my three year term I never experienced any form of combat duty so how could I have killed anybody or even shot anyone?
Another act of criminal negligence by the OPP was their accusation of me associating with Undesirables. I was investigated by their Professional Standards Bureau based on an internal complaint initiated by Sergeant Robert Flindall because in February 2009 I showed to Constable Shaun Filman and Detective Constable Jamie Brockley a six year old photograph that showed me standing with five other individuals at a fitness facility in Peterborough. Detective Constable Jamie Brockley advised me that two of the individuals in the photo, whom I have never associated with and never had even any contact since the August of 2003, had criminal involvement and were linked to Albanian organized crime. I expressed interested in taking part in an undercover operation since those individuals did not know I was a police officer and since I have always detested and strongly opposed to illicit drugs. However, seven months later, which was 'coincidentally' shortly after I contacted the Ontario Provincial Police Association seeking help from the ongoing and continuous harassment, members of the Peterborough Detachment filed an Internal Complaint against me alleging that I was associating with Undesirables. Hence, the allegation specifically referred to Canadian citizens of Albanian origin who had criminal records as Undesirables. No Canadian citizen deserves to be labeled as such. Especially in this day and age where one frequently hears about police charges being erroneously laid that in turn ruins lives.
These acts of the OPP were contrary to sections 300, 301 and 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
When in mid-August 2009 Acting Superintendent Doug Borton attempted to rescue me by moving me away from Sergeant Robert Flindall's and his minions’ direct targeting, Sergeant Robert Flindall discredited and maligned me (i.e. falsely charged me under the Highway Traffic Act, fabricated a number of my performance evaluation reports and fraudulently alleged that I refused to sign two of them, fabricated Professional Standards Bureau investigation against me alleging that I was associating with an Albanian organized crime group, further poisoned my work environment by spreading negative rumors about me). Then I was thrown into his next-door neighbor and subordinate officer's hands (Constable Richard Nie) to finish me off.
Beginning September 2009, I was assigned to a new patrol zone – Zone 2 (I worked in Zone 3 for the first 8 months and mind you, it takes many months to adequately learn zone geography). I was forbidden to work on my own. I was forbidden to work paid duties. I was forbidden to work over time. From the first hour on the new platoon Constable Richard Nie started constantly finding "faults" with me and meticulously documenting them in his notebook and in my monthly performance evaluation reports. On later reflection I realized why he was doing this. The targeting did not stop and the neighborly relationship, which I only learned about many months after my termination, between Constable Richard Nie and Sergeant Robert Flindall meant that the plan to terminate my employment was being carried on.
Constable Richard Nie was particularly skilled in terminating minority probationary officers. He demonstrated this quite effectively during his "coaching" of Probationary Constable Harry Allen Chase and was able to justify his forced termination. Not only did he carry out the plan to a tee, but he also drilled into my mind (through constantly picking on me, belittling me, humiliating and oppressing me) that I was a total failure. It took only two weeks, from the beginning of our work together on September 9, 2009, for Constable Nie’s sadistic "coaching" methods to oppress me to such a degree that I no longer offered explanations for my rationale for doing things and accepted his psychological harassment, mental and emotional tormenting of me quietly and in a docile manner. His was my master. I was his slave. At one point, on October 17, 2009, to be precise, I broke down and cried in the cruiser while he just sat next to me and smiled. There was absolutely no compassion or empathy from him. What kind of person one has to be to smile when another human being is crying?
This, according to Psychiatrist Marie-France Hirigoyen, is the intent of many abusers: to systematically "destabilize" and confuse their victims (with irrational, threatening behavior that preys on the victim's fears and self-doubts), to isolate and control them and ultimately to destroy their identity. Such acts are often difficult to reverse or rectify, and the process is likened to a literal assassination of human life. It is the Cold Blooded Destruction of Our Most Valuable Personal Asset - Character. The damage sustained lasts a lifetime.
On the contrary I, an educated individual (a former University instructor), was brought down to my knees and executed by the local Old Boys Club (mafia).
Any tightly knit group of trusted associates.
A closed group of people in a particular field, having a controlling influence.
Any small powerful or influential group in an organization or field; clique.
Some of the Peterborough County OPP officers were prejudiced against me due to my race, ethnicity, ancestry, religion, place of origin and citizenship rather than reasonable grounds. They formulated opinions about me which were not based on my merits, but rather on my membership in a group with the same characteristics. This is the essence of discrimination. I was singled out for greater scrutiny and differential treatment.
I was entirely on my own in Canada, with my landlord being the closest person to me. At Peterborough Detachment, on the other hand, nepotism was thriving.
My key personal respondents: Sergeant Robert Flindall, Constable Jennifer Payne-Brockley, Constable Shaun Filman, and Constable Richard Nie were all local to Peterborough area with a scope of view limited to their county only. All four of them had good working relationships that in all probability extended beyond the confinement of police work. Sergeant Robert Flindall and Constable Jennifer Payne were very close friends. Sergeant Robert Flindall and Constable Richard Nie were next-door neighbours. Sergeant Flindall’s father (Inspector Bill Flindall) used to be a Peterborough County OPP Detachment Commander. Constable Shaun Filman’s father (Constable Brad Filman) used to be a senior Constable at the Peterborough County OPP Detachment. Moreover, Sergeant Robert Flindall’s wife, Constable Tanya Flindall, was a Constable with the City of Kawartha Lakes Detachment, which is a neighbouring detachment, and later on transferred to Peterborough Detachment. Constable Tanya Flindall is a sister of Sergeant Trevor Banbury who in turn was a shift supervisor at Peterborough Detachment. Thus, Sergeant Robert Flindall and Sergeant Trevor Banbury (badge 10270) are brothers-in-law (and good friends too). Moreover, Sergeant Trevor Banbury’s father was a Sergeant at Peterborough Detachment. Constable Jennifer Payne and Constable Jamie Brockley (badge 10489) were common-law spouses at the time and are now married. Constable Mike Gravelle (badge 11788) and Constable Marc Gravelle (badge 12091) were brothers at the Detachment. Constable Jeff Knier (badge 11703) and Constable Amanda Knier (badge 12695) were husband and wife at the detachment. In short, without naming anymore names at this point, there were many more officers at Peterborough Detachment who are originally from Peterborough County, residents of the county and are probably related in some way. In short, local mafia.
The police officers who targeted me are all local to Peterborough. So much for the Ontario Public Service and the policies of the Ontario Provincial Police with respect to valuing diversity, treating everyone with dignity and putting public interests above private interests.
Something terrible happens when poorly educated and narrow minded people put the uniform on and are given power over others. They become Nazis. It is a universal truth and a historic fact.
Given my status as a foreign-born individual I had to work very hard for many years to earn the job of a police officer in Canada. Compared to me, my personal respondents got their jobs as police officers very easily. They stole my job from me. They caused significant mental damage to me. They maligned my reputation. They virtually stole my life.
Had the OPP not offered me employment I could have been and most probably would have been hired either by the York Regional Police service or Halton Regional Police service where I would have certainly put my multicultural and linguistic skills to use since both of the services invited me for an interview and from what I know they do value officers with multicultural backgrounds. Even if the OPP had not hired me, I could have been working elsewhere and living a normal life. Unfortunately, the OPP hired me first and totally ruined me as after the termination of my employment with the OPP, no organization, let alone police services, wanted to have me on board. The OPP literally turned me into an “Undesirable” (OPP’s term). Even Brinks would not get back to me.
If other officers that came along with me were not subjected to similar treatment that I was, can I be mistaken or faulted for having the perception that I, a highly-educated and hard-working minority and a member of a marginalized group, have been singled out and harshly targeted by some officers at the Peterborough Detachment? Please take a minute to visit the OPP’s website and OPP’s website page. Do you see the cultural and racial diversity of police officers the OPP so much prides itself on having? Alas, the reality appears to be different.
I was not given a chance to perform my duties in a safe, harassment-free work environment. Despite the OPP’s claims to promote and accept diversity in the workplace, due to my cultural heritage and unique personality I was singled out as an outsider by both my commanders and platoon members leading to harassment and racism in the workplace. Differences in my accent and manner of speech were used against me as a communication problem. I have never had any problems in any of my previous places of employment or school. However, if they considered it inferior on any level, I was not provided with any communication training if this was the case. Also, at various times I found that my confidential discussions were leaked back to those harassing me. It was clear as they were all interconnected.
I also encourage you to familiarize yourself with the Stanford Prison Experiment and see for yourself how normal people’s psychology and behavior can be altered in a very negative way in a matter of only a few short days. I, on the other hand, had to live and work for a period of almost a year in a workplace environment where I was discriminated against, harassed, bullied, humiliated, belittled, subjected to unreasonable demands and unsubstantiated criticism, being made to feel like a marionette and oppressed and retaliated against for standing up for my rights. No wonder at one point I asked Cst. Nie for permission to go to the washroom.
For me, just knowing that justice will be done, is paramount for my dignity. I believe the only way I can ever know why this happened is to have all the truth come out in a public inquiry. I want to bring my private misfortune into the public realm for personal, legal and political resolution. I am convinced that if I am successful in my legal action then my ordeal and my struggle might reduce the possibility of somebody else having to go through what I did. My priority right now is to get to the bottom of the case and make sure this does not happen to any other minority within the OPP in the future.
Hence, not only have I been fighting for my rights, but I have also been fighting for those who have been defamed, targeted, bullied and discriminated against, but never got justice.
I was forced to resign from the OPP on December 15, 2009. From January 2010, Constable Lloyd Tapp and I worked on the preparing a strong case and filed an Application before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (Tribunal) on December 13, 2010. I spent the last bit of my savings in a $2,500.00 retainer fee and secured the services of a reputable law firm Feltmate Delibato Heagle that felt the appropriate place to adjudicate his case was before the Tribunal. Since the filing of my Application my counsel removed herself from the case for personal reasons. I simply could not afford the legal fees and I was just thankful that a reputable firm had initiated justice for me. It is really sad that only the financially independent can afford such services. The average citizen has to resort to struggling to prosecute such cases to the best of their limited abilities. I then sought assistance from Mr. Tapp and he volunteered to represent me before the Tribunal.
The hearing of my case commenced on May 22nd, 2012, and continued until the 24th. The matter was being heard by Vice Chair Keith Brennenstuhl of the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario situated on the 14th Floor at 655 Bay Street, Toronto, ON M7A 2A3. The hearing continued on November 1st, 2012, and ran until November 7th, 2012. It was not until Day 4 of the hearing (November 1, 2012), that began with the Vice Chair’s strong recommendation for mediation, that Mr. Tapp and I realized that the Tribunal was limited in scope as to what it is allowed to do and that a Claim should have been initiated via the Superior Court of Justice. As the Vice Chair explained the Application could be frozen pending the outcome of the Claim. It was at this time that Mr. Tapp and I explained to Mr. Brennenstuhl that we believed all along, that being that a reputable law firm decided that the Tribunal was the appropriate place to proceed with the Application, we would have to finish there before commencing with a Claim. Needless to say, when mediation failed that morning the hearing continued and that very day Mr. Tapp started drafting up my Claim to be filed with the Superior Court of Justice. Mr. Tapp used the one hour lunch break to start working on the Claim. The hearing continued as scheduled until November 7, 2012, and then was adjourned until another block of five days could be determined by the Tribunal. In the meantime the hearing and the start of the cross examination strengthened me to the point that I was then committed to seeing my Claim pursue a course of justice via the Superior Courts. To that end, Mr. Tapp drafted a request for an order to have the hearing deferred and served it on the Tribunal and the OPP.
Where my Ontario Human Rights Tribunal Application dealt with the OPP’s non-compliance with the Human Rights Code, my Claim dealt with Defamation by Slander and Libel that laid the foundation from which the OPP so casually and confidently violated my rights with respect to the Ontario Human Rights Code and played a role in laying a foundation of contempt towards me at the Peterborough Detachment of the OPP. This contempt turned into a lack of respect and utter disdain towards me from many of the personnel at the detachment. The continued defamation then fostered hatred towards me to the point that I was viewed as an undesirable and even formally accused of associating with undesirables. This very act is something that I will never forgive the OPP for. And yes, as astounding as it may sound, the OPP actually refers to Canadians who happen to have criminal records or have had criminal involvement as Undesirables.
And so I sought justice via the Superior Courts of Justice in Toronto. My aim was to see my Claim proceed through to the very end of a trial so as to hold the OPP accountable for their actions and bring about an appropriate remedy. I wanted to bring transparency to the OPP and show the public the truth rather than the lies the OPP professes in their mission statements and core values. I had nothing to lose other than, as William Shakespeare wrote ‘A pound of flesh'. Unfortunately, and like many others, I was disappointed to experience the reality of justice in Canada. Many Canadians have observed that the Superior Courts only cater to the financially independent. If one cannot afford a lawyer they are barred by the Rules of Civil Procedure, the Courts of Justice Act and the Law Society of Upper Canada from having a friend who may possess a little more knowledge for representing them or even assisting them. What they are left with is having to face, in many instances, formidable giants who have an unlimited supply of finances at their disposal and try their best with their limited knowledge to prosecute their action. Such was my case.
My claim was dismissed on April 2, 2014, by Justice Kevin W. Whitaker due to the Statue of Limitations and due to the Collective Agreement between the OPPA and the OPP. Though the collective agreement states in article 4.01(c) that a probationary constable cannot grieve their dismissal or termination of employment, counsel for the OPPA and the OPP argued that I was not dismissed or terminated but resigned. And that despite the indisputable and irrefutable evidence presented to the courts that Mr. Justice Whitaker obviously did not even bother to look at. What a farce! Mr. Tapp and I did our best by explaining that the resignation was not something that I drafted and handed in but it was a preprinted letter by the OPP that was presented to me with two options – sign this letter of resignation or be fired right away. Simply put, I was coerced into signing a resignation letter while two Ontario Provincial Police Association representatives, Karen German and Marty McNamara sat behind me quietly and did not intervene at all.
To this end I have come to realize that the courts in Ontario are no place for the truth. They cater "justice" to those who have superior power and/or access to superior resources. Though the OPP put me on my knees once they will not do so again. After an unsuccessful attempt to seek justice via the courts my deferred application before the HRTO has been reactivated.
During the course of the two hearing days on September 21 and 22, 2015, I was cross-examined by the counsel for the respondent, William J. Manuel, after which he attempted to dismiss my application based on no-reasonable prospect of success. However, my application was not dismissed and the hearing of my case before the HRTO has continued between February 8 and February 12, 2016, at 655 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario.
During the course of those five hearing days a total of 13 witnesses were examined-in-chief by my friend Lloyd Tapp and personally by me when Lloyd fell very sick and could not attend the hearing for two consecutive days. The witnesses testified in the following order, Sergeant Brad Rathbun, Constable Marc Gravelle, Constable Kevin Duignan, Inspector (retired) Mike Johnston, Constable Mary D'Amico, Constable Melynda Moran, Sergeant Jason Postma, Mr. Marc Greco, Constable Jamie Brockey, Constable Karen German, Staff Sergeant Colleen Kohen, Chief Superintendent (retired) Mike Armstrong, Superintendent Hugh Stevenson.
On February 11, 2016, a group of approximately 20-25 paralegal students, along with their instructors, attended the hearing. They had learned that my case was the longest running case before the HRTO so their instructors brought them to observe the proceedings. Needless to say, their attendance was very inspiring and encouraging.
The hearing of my case before the HRTO has been scheduled to continue between September 7 and September 16, 2016, at 655 Bay Street, 14th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, starting at 09:30 am, during which time six more witnesses are expected to be called to testify, namely Staff Sergeant (retired) Ron Campbell, Sergeant (retired) Peter Butorac, Constable Shaun Filman, Constable Jennifer Payne, Sergeant Robert Flindall and Constable Richard Nie, in whatever order the respondent's new counsel will call them.
The respondent has yet again changed their legal counsel. Mr. William J. Manuel was replaced by Mimi N. Singh. While it is hard to believe it remains a fact that the respondent has had six experienced legal counsels working on this case to date, namely Marnie Corbold, Lynette D'Souza, Lorenzo Policelli, Heidi Blutstein, Bill Manuel and Mimi N. Singh, all of whom are on the Ontario Sunshine list, against two ordinary citizens with no legal experience whatsoever - a poor immigrant and a poor unemployed police officer. Isn't that sad?
I want to thank all the people who have been supporting me through this process. It is amazing how many ordinary people provided me with their support. I have gotten numerous correspondences from people saying that I am a true man, that I am making them proud for trying to hold accountable the thugs in uniform, that the OPP is corrupt, that there are many dirty cops in the Peterborough OPP Detachment and that the detachment is inherently corrupt, that it was a gift to my soul not to become a permanent member of the OPP, etc. In short, I got a lot of support and encouragement and very few denunciations from members of the public who the OPP professes to serve. Thank you to all the people who have been supporting me!

This book is not an introduction to Akka – far from it!
It assumes knowledge (at least on a conceptual level) of Akka and its modules (such as Actors, Remoting, Clustering, Streams, HTTP etc.), as well as concurrency and distributed systems knowledge at least on a level that will allow you to track the implementation decisions explained in this book.
The books first and primary goal is to explain the inner workings of Akka and its various modules. Insight gained from those inner workings should help developers willing to understand *how* things work in order to see why they work like they do. Akka contains multitudes of interesting implementation techniques and carefully picked trade-offs, so I hope it should also serve for an entertaining read for developers curious to learn about concurrent and distributed programming from the inside-out.
While most of the implementation details outlined in this book should be largely irrelevant to developers _using_ Akka, they help understand the tradeoffs and reasons why things work the way they do. If you are an advanced user it may help you understand how to make better use of it (i.e. avoiding APIs which are "costly", and understanding why they are).
With that being said... welcome to _Insider Akka_.

Gingerbread and scones are two of those things that really get overlooked. I mean, I’ll be the first person to admit that I’ve never been a scone person. I know they make a great on-the-go breakfast for busy days, but I always thought they would taste a little bit dry and boring. Then, I made these Gingerbread Scones for a holiday-themed brunch and I was blown away. I couldn’t have been more wrong! These delightful breakfast pastries are light, soft, and tender. Not to mention that they’re full of festive flavor, thanks to the molasses and gingerbread spices.
You can also feel pretty good about eating these tasty treats. We were able to make them without adding any processed sugar, but they taste sweet and satisfying just like your favorite coffee shop treats. Even with swapping in some healthy ingredients (like Greek yogurt, skim milk, and coconut sugar) these pastries bake up with a crisp exterior and a moist, tender crumb inside. And they’re perfectly portion-sized, too. That’s always a good thing for me around the holidays when I need to control my sweet-tooth cravings.
Like I said, gingerbread often gets overlooked this time of year, thanks to the more-popular flavors of Pumpkin Spice Lattes and pecan pie. People still make gingerbread houses for Christmas, but I don’t think a lot of people are baking up the flavors of gingerbread – which is a shame! It’s time for us to change that by making these Gingerbread Scones for our friends and family. They’ll be hooked after the first bite, just like me.
Originally, people made gingerbread as a way to preserve ginger during Medieval European times. To make the cakes sweeter and more edible, people started heavily flavoring the cakes with molasses. This dark, sticky substance gives a rich and slightly smoky flavor to the cake, along with a punch of nutrition. Blackstrap molasses is full of vitamins and minerals, too, like iron, vitamin B6, selenium, and magnesium. These days, it’s also a popular sweetener for those with diabetes because it helps stabilize blood sugar!
Eventually, gingerbread cakes turned into cookies, muffins, pies, and more. They’re most commonly found as crackers to build gingerbread houses during the holidays, but a recent surge in gingerbread-flavored products is making the spicy cake trendy again. We’re pretty happy about that, especially after eating these Gingerbread Scones.
Almost all good scones are topped with a sugary glaze. It’s usually sinfully sweet because it’s little more than powdered sugar and milk. We wanted to capture the spirit of the glaze without putting anyone into a diabetic shock. Luckily, Greek yogurt makes a perfect substitute!
By the time you whip the tangy yogurt together with the maple syrup and vanilla extract, it will be completely transformed. No one will know it used to be yogurt. If you have a hard time finding plain Greek yogurt, feel free to swap-in one of the flavored varieties. Try to find neutral flavors that will go well with the Gingerbread Scone, though, like vanilla, honey, or coconut flavors.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Note: add 2 cups floor, then add a little at a time until it makes a cookie dough like consistency.
Grate the butter on a box grater and mix it into the flour with your hands until the mixture resembles lumpy, wet sand.
Gently mix in the molasses, 1/2 cup of the yogurt, and milk. Once the mixture comes together, turn out the dough onto a floured work surface and gently knead it using your hands until a dough comes together.
Form the dough into a large circle about 1-inch deep. Cut the circle into 8 equal slices.
Place the slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until lightly browned on the outside. A toothpick inserted into the center of the scone should come out clean.
Meanwhile, make the drizzle by whisking together the remaining tablespoon of Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract in a small bowl. Transfer the mixture to a pastry bag.
Allow the scones to cool for 10 minutes before drizzling the glaze over the scones.

Could coconut milk be used in place of skim milk?
Alexsha Thank you for visiting Skinnyms.com. YES Coconut Milk is a suitable substitute for skim milk. Use the same amount that the recipe indicates. Have a great DAY!
Any substitutes for coconut sugar? Wheat flour?
Diane, Cane sugar, date sugar, or brown sugar will work. All purpose flour will work in place of wheat.
Can you please recommend the best Gluten Free flour or Gluten free flour blend ( any recommendation but rice flour though, and no blends that contain rice. I’m *super* allergic to rice….)that would work for this recipe, for those of us that have to eat gluten free?
Hi Alli, There aren’t too many without rice. I found this brand for all-purpose, gluten-free flour on amazon.

Upcoming shows include a collaborative installation show at the National Museum of Mexican Art and a collaborative performance piece curated by Ernesto Pujol at the Chicago Cultural Center in October.
My conceptual work reflects socio-cultural themes that deal with identity, gender, and display. These multi-layered associations examine women’s roles through the use of cultural iconography and other imagery associated with the female body. A corporeal sensibility initiates the basis of all the work and a performative aspect begins to be suggested. My work utilizes these materials to communicate a complex range of ideas that explore gender roles within a personal and societal narrative.
My public art stems from strong community art practice, as I have led and enjoyed the creation of community public art around Chicago through mosaic art and other techniques.

This past Saturday we gathered for another of the 3rd-Saturday-of-the-month retreats we’ve been doing this past year. The theme of the last several retreats has been Mind Training. The text we’ve been using is The Great Path of Awakening.
1. All Dharma has a single purpose.
2. Of the two judges, rely on the principal one.
3. Always have the support of a joyful mind.
4. You are proficient if you can practice even when distracted.
The Great Path of Awakening includes a translation of the Tibetan text of the Seven Points as well as a commentary by a great 19th-century master, Jamgon Kongtrul. In addition to this text, Saturday we used the book by the remarkable contemporary Tibetan lama, Ringu Tulku, entitled merely Mind Training.
In his discussion of the fifth point entitled “Evaluating the Practice,” Ringu Tulku says, “When we have learned how to practice the Lojong [mind training] meditation, we need to assess whether we are carrying it out correctly and properly. This point gives us something to measure by.
Of the Two Judges, rely on the principal one.
Always be sustained by cheerfulness.
In the course of the day, I referred to Dzongsar Khyentse’s teaching on Mind Training found on YouTube.
I wrote this thinking it might serve as a helpful reminder to those who attended, and a useful summary for those who weren’t able to join us this past Saturday.
I highly encourage everyone to study these resources, the books and videos mentioned, and to give the Mind Training practice a try. It might prove a very useful tool for you on your journey through this mysterious life.

I want to build a door mirror for the first time. Do you have a tutorial please and what tips would you give to a Mirror Rookie?
as mirrors have to be modeled on discrete axes and not in the world space default planes. They are often complex in form with a lot of tricky details and generally there is a requirement towards the end of the project for full G3. Taking this into account it is best to start on a mirror which has been designed to be a little less challenging than the A5 mirror.
Modeling icon Barry Kimball says that at times he spends 30% of his hours on a complete exterior just building the door mirror.
This is not something that you can rush into and is not something that you can expect to get good highlights on the first hit.
So it’s not easy and you shouldn’t expect smooth flowing HL’s, until you have spent a few weeks in the amazingly consuming world of mirrors and unless you have several years experience, you won’t be able to meet G3 criteria for all the transitions. It is also important to remember that in a studio you would be given mesh-data to work from taken from a scan of the clay or hard model.
I think most of us can imagine the surface-set required to model a wheel arch.
What I would like to put the attention on in this post is the large parent body side surface.
First, let’s take a look at the underlying control vertices.
where the modeling was done in a slightly different way. Notice how the anti tangent situation has been avoided altogether by the use of an additional little patch, but that will have left you with a five sided gap that you now somehow would need to fill.
So… some genius, decided to put a power fill function to work, most likely done in a solid modeling package.
Now, surprisingly enough, the highlights on this ridiculous surface look perfect! really, it does!
This is a shot of good fortune, because very often it only manages to generate a surface with forced G2 at the boundaries and a very tumultuous interior to the surface. I can only imagine the solid modeling operator also used additional constraint curves to control the interior of the patch better.
Now, let’s get back to our previous example, with our anti tangent situation. Albeit just in the trim space of a nice clean 4 sided UV structure. By now we have added the fillets along the theoretical style edge.
By this stage in the model, this is now what’s left of that parent surface.
by selecting the top left most point generated by the top natural edge and the trim edge of the wheel arch, using the Curve Continuity function.
As we can see, it now has about 10 degree difference.
It’s still an acute intersection, but it’s perfectly geometrically and topologically legit.
it’s a trimmed out five sided surface just the same as the previous model, but a quick glance at the control vertices and you’ll understand that we didn’t need any power fill to get to where we wanted to be. And this patch we still have under control, it’s a nice added bonus compared to power fills!
using Bezier Surfaces to a tolerance of < 1.00 mm, as this is something you will be questioned about at interview, it has become a vital skill-set to have for candidates wishing to get into the Automotive Industry.
Such is the demand by employers for candidates to be proficient at Revese Engineering, that all my students now do a course on this prior to attending any interviews.

Hinamatsuri or Girl's Day is tomorrow, 03/03/10. Traditionally, a family will have a set of dolls dressed like heian courtiers and they would set up these dolls for Girl's Day. The dolls were believed to trap bad luck, thus ensuring good fortune for daughters of the family. My family doesn't have a set of dolls, come to think of it I don't think I know anybody with a full set, so I've never had a Girl's Day party.
What are my memories of Girl's Day in Hawaii? My grandma would make pink nantu (steamed mochi rice flour) that I would take to school and the boys had to put our chairs on our desks at the end of the day in elementary school.
What can you do to celebrate Girl's Day? Well, be extra nice to any females in your life. Enjoy some nantu or butter mochi, both of which are made using mochiko (sweet rice flour) instead of having to steam and pound mochi rice, with some green tea. Watch "The Peach Orchard" scene from Akira Kurosawa's Dreams.

In Rails, hooking up an ActiveRecord model to use a value object to aggregate over a set of database fields is a piece of cake. With the accessor methods that are created for a composed_of association, you can now deal exclusively with the composed_of field on your model, instead of directly manipulating or querying the individual database fields that it aggregates. Or can you? As long as all you're doing with the aggregate field is getting and setting its value, your aggregated database fields remain encapsulated. However, if you want to retrieve instances of your model from the database through a call to a finder method, you must do so on the individual database fields.
To deal with this problem, I've submitted a ticket, which is currently scheduled to be available in Rails 2.1.
Addendum: The patch has been committed to changeset 8671. Yay!
Great idea! And thanks for contributing it.

A squirrel disrupted businesses and traffic patterns in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, a town of about 16,000 residents just east of the Pennsylvania-Ohio border, yesterday afternoon. The critter got into a substation and shorted the system, knocking out power for more than 2,000 customers in Hermitage and neighboring Sharon, according to Penn Power. As many utility companies have found out, it’s difficult to keep small animals and snakes from getting into substations and coming into contact with equipment. In fact, last month, a raccoon cause a power outage when it damaged a substation in Sharon during the overnight hours.
Fortunately, power was restored within about two hours, but even the short outage kept police busy directing traffic, with only limited generators available for traffic lights, according to Police Chief Eric Jewell.
Generators can help businesses keep some systems running and are particularly useful for the food service industry where outages can result in spoilage. But, even generators aren’t enough to protect businesses’ technology from being damaged by outages. Electrical surges are common just before power goes out and as it’s restored. Those surges can short out circuits in the systems businesses depend on for their operations and result in extended down time as servers, switches, routers, firewalls or other equipment is repaired or replaced.
The best safety net for businesses that depend on their technology – which includes nearly every business today – is a UPS system that includes power protection to regulate line voltage and negate the impact of spikes and surges. Power protection systems can be configured for any business and sized to fit each one’s unique needs and ensure outages don’t cause more damage than a temporary loss of power.

Volvo 240 - technical specifications - maximum power, maximum torque, fuel consumption - urban/extra urban/combined, maximum speed, acceleration, weight, dimensions, engine, suspension, rims/wheels, tyres, brakes, transmission/gear box, etc.
Volvo is a Swedish manufacturer of cars, trucks, buses, marine engines, aerospace drive systems, construction equipment, etc. The unit producing the automobiles is called Volvo Car Corporation. The Volvo trademark was registered in 1911 by SKF AB and the company itself was incorporated in 1915 as a subsidiary of SKF. However, for its birthday is considered the day in which the first Volvo car left the automobile factory in Gothenburg - 14 April 1927. The car model was ÖV 4. The name Volvo comes from Latin and means 'I roll' and was conceived as the name of a special series of ball bearings produced by SKF but the company didn't use till 1924 when its founders Gustav Larson and Assar Gabrielsson decided to build safe cars, which could withstand the harsh weather and rough roads of Sweden. Since that moment on the main values in producing cars under the Volvo brand are safety, design, quality and environment protection. The brand has always been synonymous to solidity and reliability. The average age of a Volvo to be discarded is 19.8 years, which is second only to Mercedes cars. The Volvo P1800 model from 1966 is also the Guinness World Record holder for most miles driven by a single owner in a non-commercial vehicle, which sum up to 2.8 million miles. Safety has a long history in Volvo models. For 70 years the company has more than 45 major safety inventions and contributions. The 1944 PV model had laminated glass windows. The 1956 Amazon model became the first car with padded dashboards. In 1959 all Volvo cars included the 3-Point Safety Belt patented by the Volvo engineer Nils Bohlin. The first rear-facing child seat was developed by the company in 1964. Safety innovations continued in 1986 with the first central high-mounted stoplight. 1991 brought further innovations in safe-belts and child-seats as well as the introduction of the Side Impact Protection System (SIPS). Volvo was the first to place side air bags in 1995 and a head-protecting airbag in 1998. The Whiplash Protection System was introduced in 1998 to prevent injury of front seat users during collisions. In 2004 was launched the BLIS system, which detects vehicles entering the blind spot of the car with a side view mirror mounted sensor and alerts the driver. In January 1999 the Volvo Group sold its car division to Ford Motor Company, which on its turn has sold it to China's Zhejiang Geely Holding Group in 2010. The present portfolio of Volvo Cars includes the C30 and C79 coupes, the S40, S60 and S80 sedans, the V50 combi, the XC60, XC70 and XC90 crossovers. Technical specifications and data for a range of car models by Volvo may be checked out by clicking on the names of the car models from the catalog below.

HAMPTON — Robert McClung, with the completion of an upcoming dedication ceremony, is hoping he can play a part in the ghost of Goody Cole finally finding a peaceful resting place.
McClung, a guitar teacher at Lincoln-Akerman School in Hampton Falls who grew up in Hampton about a mile or so from Tuck Field, where some people believe Cole is buried, has long been interested in the 17th-century woman who was convicted of witchcraft and spent many years in a Boston prison for the same.
So when McClung was coming up with the subject of his second album under the project Telergy, it was natural that it would end up being called "The Legend of Goody Cole."
"The idea (behind Telergy) is I used this big, epic, powerful progressive rock sound that I do to tell the story behind historical events," he said. The group's first album, Exodus, tells the biblical tale of the Israelites leaving slavery in Egypt.
The album follows Cole's experience, from the third track, "Rumors," to the tenth, "Incarceration," to the sixteenth, "Exoneration." There are several vocal tracks in which townsfolk shout accusations and a judge, played by Twisted Sister's Dee Snider, decides she's guilty, following the discourse as it may have played out on Hampton's Meeting House Green.
More than 40 artists appear on the album, including those from bands such as the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Night Ranger, Porcupine Tree, Hawkwind and Spock's Beard. Some locals came into the studio in Dover where McClung records, while others, especially those from Japan and other overseas countries, sent in their parts digitally.
McClung described tales in which residents and even a Hampton police officer once reported to have seen Cole, dressed in gray, puritan clothing, wandering the town's streets at night searching for her grave.
It wasn't until the 20th century that Cole had a gravestone planted in the town, and even then it wasn't a proper one, McClung said. He's using some of the albums profits to rectify that.
He said, with respect to the man that worked to get a gravestone for her in 1963, "Quite frankly, it's literally an unassuming rock in the middle of the field that says nothing."
McClung has purchased a large, black marble stone memorial for Cole that will be dedicated Aug. 11 as part of Hampton's 375th anniversary gala.
"If Goody's ghost has been walking the streets all these years looking for her gravestone, and if the 1963 stone didn't serve the purpose, I would like to think this stone we're putting up on the 11th finally gives her peace. She can finally be at rest for eternity," McClung said.
When he was young, McClung learned all about Cole from a staff member at the Tuck Museum and was fascinated by the tale.
"It was like something out of a horror movie, but it was real life. You know it happened right here in my home town," he said.
And as he walked past the blank stone every day on his way to Winnacunnet High School he "had the feeling there was something missing, something wrong, that they'd left something out."
"I finally figured out what's missing: her name's not there," McClung said.
McClung is encouraging attendees of the 375th gala's final day to bring flowers to place on the newly-dedicated memorial.
"Actually having this stone in the ground and being able to put it there and give Goody the honor and respect I feel has been denied her 300 years is really going to feel like the final piece of the puzzle," he said.
Copies of the album are on sale at the Lane Memorial Library and the Tuck Museum.

A FAMILY in Brisbane has lost their beloved pet cat after a massive carpet python consumed it yesterday.
In a Facebook posts which has already received hundreds of comments and shares, Brisbane Snake Catchers said it was a sad day for the Wishart family.
"An unfortunate situation for residents in Wishart today when they found a Large Carpet python consuming one of their two cats," the post read.
Brisbane Snake Catchers went on to explain the heartbroken owners accepted it was a circle of life type situation.
"The residents were sad for obvious reasons but realised it was only natural for the python to do so and agreed they need to keep a better eye on them and even better keep them indoors," they wrote.
"This is another reason to be mindful of letting cats roam they can be subject to other animals as well."
The photo attached shows the large python with a bulge in its stomach before the snake catchers removed it from the resident's property.
Brisbane Snake Catchers wrote large outdoor cat enclosures are also a great way to keep beloved pets safe from the hunting of other native wildlife.

Although officially it won’t be a done deal until late January when escrow closes and the property deed changes hands, the Fort Vancouver National Trust’s acquisition of the historic Academy building is “moving forward,” according to Trust president and COO Mike True.
When the deal is closed, True said, the Trust will begin the second phase of the initiative, which is to renovate the building and surrounding property.
True cited three areas as most challenging. Replacing the roof will be the first priority, to forestall any further deterioration. He said the roof is the most complex aspect of the project. Besides sheeting and new roof materials, he said it was likely that they would add seismic support. The exterior porches also pose challenges associated with bringing them in line with current accessibility and handrail height code requirements. Finally, said True, the surrounding grounds need to be landscaped to “highlight the building’s significance.” Currently, there’s a lot of open space with little vegetation or trees, and any landscape plan must make the site and building as accommodating as possible to visitors but not disruptive to tenants.
True said the campaign to secure renovation funding is ongoing. The Trust is seeking one million dollars from the state Legislature, as well as additional private funding. He said the Trust’s goal is to complete the fundraising by the end of the legislative session. If that goal is met, planning would occur this summer and improvements would commence this autumn.
Some of the questions the Trust needs to answer when planning the renovations include what time period to go back to (the building has 140 years of history) and how to best tell the story of Mother Joseph and the building.
The Trust, said True, did not want to repeat Yakima’s experience, which demolished a similar building in the 1980s.
“30 years later it’s an asphalt parking lot that tells no story about the community and its past,” True lamented.
The Trust’s long-term plans for the building center around commercial office space.
“The site fills an important niche for small business spaces. Our intent is to continue that use,” True stated.
The Trust also hopes to highlight public spaces such as the chapel and ballroom for public events, similar to how they’ve managed the Marshall House, Artillery Barracks and the Red Cross building.
When the deal completes in January, the Trust will walk away with “free and clear” ownership of the building and the immediate property “through the generosity of the community.” Plans for the second parcel, the majority of which is parking, are yet to be finalized. He said there were a lot of unknowns about the property around the building.

(Other horses have technically finished the race in less time, but that was when the running distance was shorter.) Other horses have come very close, though, and maybe this year we'll see a new record be set!
And they're off! We bet the horses speeding past will set your tie a-fluttering.
3. The 'race for the Black-Eyed Susans' uses....no actual Black-Eyed Susans.
Luckily, we have no shortage of Black-Eyed Susans in our products!
Fancy hats and spring pastels are common sights on race day. People love dressing up for the occasion, and feathers, bows and fascinators are all fair game! But the Infieldfest offers a chance to let your hair (or your hat) down in a party atmosphere. This year, Post Malone and ODESZA will be headlining the show.
You'll look pretty great at Infieldfest wearing this!
