Steve Jones (footballer, born 1976)

Stephen Graham Jones (born 25 October 1976) is a Northern Irish footballer who plays for Sandbach United football club. He has been capped 29 times by Northern Ireland and played for 20 clubs in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Early career
Jones was born in Derry, Northern Ireland and moved to Manchester with his family at age 13. In his late teens, he played for Chadderton in the North West Counties Division One before signing for Blackpool in July 1995. After spending time playing for Blackpool's youth and reserve teams, he signed for Bury on a free transfer in July 1996. Unable to settle at Bury and frustrated by the lack of first-team opportunities, Jones decided to move to the Republic of Ireland and sign for League of Ireland side Sligo Rovers in July 1997, stating that Rovers manager Nicky Reid's offer of a full-time contract was what ultimately made up his mind.

On 30 August 1997, he made his debut for The Bit o' Red in the league match against Bohemians, scoring just before half-time in the 2–2 draw at The Showgrounds. He spent almost two seasons with Sligo and won the League of Ireland Cup after playing in the final against Shelbourne in February 1998. Overall, he played 46 games and scored 6 goals for Sligo before moving to Bray Wanderers in January 1999. Jones made his debut for Bray on 22 January, playing in the 0–0 league draw with Finn Harps at Carlisle Grounds. Later that year, Jones was homesick and moved back to England, later having a brief spell with Northern Premier League side Chorley where he played in the last four games of the season for The Magpies.

Leigh RMI
After Chorley were relegated at the end of the 1998–99 season, Jones signed for fellow Northern Premier League side Leigh RMI in August 1999. This came after he impressed RMI manager Steve Waywell in the final home game of the previous season against Chorley. He had a successful first season with The Railwaymen, scoring 18 goals in 40 games that helped RMI gain promotion to the Football Conference. Jones attracted interest from several clubs during the summer, but he ultimately signed a new four-year deal at Leigh, stating he was happier than he had been at any time in his playing career and his heart was with Leigh.

On 19 August 2000, Jones started in Leigh's first game in the Conference, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 defeat by fellow newly promoted side Dagenham & Redbridge. He won a penalty after clumsy challenge from Ashley Vickers, which led to Tony Black scoring RMI's goal. He played in the 3–0 FA Cup first round defeat by Millwall at The Den on 19 November. On 3 March 2001, Jones scored the first hat-trick of his career in the 6–2 league win against Nuneaton Borough. He finished the season with 21 goals in all competitions, these went a long way to firing RMI to a fifth-place finish in the Conference, the club's highest ever league finish. At the Conference Annual General Meeting on 2 June, Jones was named in the Football Conference Team of the Year, as voted for by the league's managers.

Jones attracted interest from a number of clubs in the close season, Morecambe being the first to make a bid for the Northern Irishman in late May. The Shrimps had bids of £30,000 and £45,000 rejected by RMI. Tranmere Rovers were the next club to take an interest in Jones and manager Dave Watson took him on trial at the beginning of July. However, it was Crewe Alexandra who won the race for Jones' signature after manager Dario Gradi persuaded him to sign on 3 July. He signed for Crewe on a three-year contract in a deal worth £75,000 to Leigh, and £75,000 more to come after 60 appearances.

Crewe Alexandra
Jones made his debut for Crewe in the league game against Manchester City on 25 August 2001. He replaced Rodney Jack in the 82nd minute of the 5–2 defeat at Maine Road. On 27 October, he made his first start for the club in the 1–0 defeat by Sheffield United at Brammall Lane. Despite being a regular goalscorer in the reserves, Jones found first-team opportunities scarce in his first season at Crewe, so it was decided he would join Third Division side Rochdale on a month's loan in February 2002. He returned from his loan in April and featured in two of Crewe's remaining games in the First Division, coming on as a substitute in the away defeats to Gillingham and Wimbledon.

Rochdale (loan)
Jones made his debut for Rochdale on 5 February 2002, playing the full 90 minutes in the 5–4 win against York City at Spotland Stadium. He scored his first goal for The Dale on 23 February, scoring the opening goal in the 2–1 defeat at Scunthorpe United. On 7 March, Rochdale manager John Hollins confirmed that Jones would stay at the club for at least another month, but the deal would involve a 24-hour recall option for Crewe. He made his final appearance for the club on 26 March in the 3–1 defeat by Plymouth Argyle, he came off the bench in 75th minute replacing Kevin Townson.

Following Crewe's relegation to the Second Division, Jones started to feature in the first-team more prominently at the start of the 2002–03 season. He made his first appearance of the season on 13 August, replacing Dave Brammer in the 60th minute of the 3–0 defeat by Notts County at Gresty Road. Jones scored his first goals for Crewe in the league match against Queens Park Rangers, he netted both goals in the 2–0 win on 5 October. He followed that up by scoring the third goal in the 4–1 win at Stockport County a week later. He scored a brace against Colchester United in January 2003 and another against Northampton Town in February, these went towards the 11 goals in all competitions he scored that helped The Railwaymen to a second-place finish in the Second Division, gaining them promotion back to the First Division.

Prior to the 2003–04 season, Jones signed a new three-year contract with the club that would take him through to the end of the 2005–06 season. He started in Crewe's first game back in the First Division on 9 August, playing the full 90 minutes in the 3–1 defeat against Wimbledon at Selhurst Park. Three days later, he scored his first goal of the season in the 2–0 League Cup first round win against Wrexham. A brace against West Ham United on 17 March 2004 took Jones' tally for the season to 16, this coupled with the 20 goals scored by strike partner Dean Ashton helped Crewe to an 18th-place finish in the league. His efforts throughout the season earned him the Supporters Player of the Year award.

Jones scored on his first start of the 2004–05 season on 24 August, scoring two first half goals in the 4–1 League Cup first round win against Blackpool. Four days later, he helped Crewe to their first league win of the season, scoring two goals in the 4–2 win against Derby County at Pride Park. On 26 October, he started against Manchester United in the League Cup third round, playing 68 minutes of the 3–0 defeat at Gretsy Road. On 8 May 2005, Jones scored the winning goal in the 2–1 league win against Coventry City, the goal gave The Alex their first win in 19 games and saved the club from relegation on the final day of the season.

At the beginning of the 2005–06 season, Jones indicated to Crewe manager Dario Gradi that he wanted to leave at the end of the season when his contract expired. In October, Preston North End manager Billy Davies declared his interest in bringing Jones to Deepdale, however Crewe were not interested in the player part-exchange offer that was being tabled. Queens Park Rangers took an interest in signing Jones in January 2006, however they were unable to meet the club's valuation of £300,000 for him. Despite the uncertainty about his future, Jones was still a regular in the team throughout the season and managed to score 5 goals overall, including a goal in his final appearance against Millwall on 30 April. Crewe were relegated at the end of the season, and despite a very good contract being offered, Jones confirmed his decision to leave. He wanted to stay in the Championship and thought he could make more money elsewhere. Overall Jones made 173 appearances for Crewe and scored 45 goals.

Burnley
Burnley announced on 3 May 2006 that Jones would join the club on a Bosman signing, with the move being completed on 1 July. He signed a three-year deal with the Championship side. Jones made a scoring start to his Burnley career, netting both goals in the 2–0 win against Queens Park Rangers on the opening day of the season. On 23 September, he opened the scoring in the 3–2 defeat against Southampton at Turf Moor. After a goal drought of over 6 months, he scored in the 4–0 win against Plymouth Argyle on 3 April 2007, and he followed that up with a goal in the 2–0 win against Cardiff City six days later. Jones scored 5 goals in 43 appearances in the 2006–07 season, helping Burnley to a 15th-place finish in the Championship.

Jones' first start of the 2007–08 season was in the League Cup first round game against Grimbsy Town at Blundell Park, he played the full 120 minutes as the game finished 1–1 and Burnley won 4–2 on penalties. On 15 September, he scored his first goal of the season in the 2–2 league draw against Blackpool. After Owen Coyle replaced Steve Cotterill as Burnley manager in November, Jones was used mainly as a substitute, making his solitary league start of the season in the 1–0 win against Plymouth Argyle on 12 January 2008. The following week in the 2–1 win at Coventry City, Jones suffered a medial knee ligament tear that would keep him out of action for six weeks, scuppering a pending loan move to former club Crewe Alexandra. The appearance against Coventry turned out to be his last for The Clarets. On 27 March, it was announced that Jones would join League One side Crewe on loan until the end of the season.

Crewe Alexandra (loan)
Jones made his re-debut for Crewe on 29 March 2008, playing 85 minutes in the 2–1 defeat by Luton Town at Kenilworth Road. Over the next month, he made two substitute appearances against Cheltenham Town and AFC Bournemouth respectively, before he signed off his second spell at The Railwaymen with a goal in the 4–1 defeat by Oldham Athletic on 3 May.

Despite featuring in pre-season, Jones had become surplus to requirements going into the last year of his contract at Burnley.

Hello Mike, I read your page, you sound like a really cool dude. I noticed your edits to the Round Lake article; I live in Camas and that was one of the first articles I created when I joined Wikipedia. Anyway I could basically cut and paste your bio in place of mine and it would work, only divide it about by 3: I don't own firearms but only because I'm a broke student. I usually vote Libretarian but am a registered independent. I love beer and only play friendly poker but its nearly always texas holdem. I'm a total unix geek but have moved to a mac. Right now I'm spending most of my Wikipedia time on wpfsck and the WikiProject help desk. Want to get a beer and a burger some time? Ever eaten at the Blackfoot in in Washougal? I got another Libertarian, computer geek, gun nut friend from Portland. We are both new to the area and are looking to meet new people. Triddle 22:59, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

Shrimp cocktail
Hey. First up, don't ask why im interested in the shrimp cocktail thing. I don't know. but anyway... as I understand it, ketchup + mayo = marie rose sauce and thats what my shrimp cocktails appear to be covered in, both at home and in vegas. Cocktail sauce, thousand island... at any rate they didnt have horseradish on them. You must eat some crazy shit down at the airfield dude. I now leave the shrimp cocktail article in your capable hands. Unless I can give more press to Cheapo Vegas who rule. I will however be keeping an eye on you as your'e clearly a pretty serious motor scooter who can get people into lots of trouble judging by the pic. if i'm ever in Vancouver WA... easy... --Deiz 22:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I didn't mean to start anything, but typical vegas cocktail sauce is indeed a base of ketchup (catsup) spiced with horseradish (and perhaps onion, lemon, etc).. I mean the actual horseradish root, not a prepared horseradish (which is mayonnaise and horseradish), or "horseradish sauce"... Maybe somewhere they put mayo in cocktail sauce, but I've never seen it, in vegas, or otherwise! btw, this shoulda been on the shrimp cocktail talk page.. ohwell :) --Kvuo 01:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

I am an information junkie. Wikipedia is a pretty amazing place (as a concept, but also as an information repository), and after gathering a bit of confidence together I plan to add my pebbles to the pile.

Dear UtherSRG - You are mistaken. My full comment was removed by Kungfuadam and is still being displayed in an edited state. The original text read

"FACT VS FICTION The oil spill is a twenty year old story, and since Williamsburg, Brooklyn has a much higher cancer rate than Greenpoint according to the NYC Dept. of Health (see health section above for reference), I guess the new residents know exactly why they are moving to Greenpoint. It's funny how that oil spill story popped up again after all these years, just when the neighborhood was rezoned and redevelopment has started. Very Curious."

Secondly, Jonas Silk has been moving sections around on the article page and the discussion page. Why are those edits allowed. Is it because they focus on negative things being attributed to the neighborhood? Out of all of the edits that Jonas Silk made and you continually protected, did any one of them contribute anything positive? Oh, but a skyline view from our waterfront created such a stir. And mention anything about a ducumented health study which concluded that the neighborhood has a lower cancer rate than otherr parts of the city, and Jonas Silk can be allowed to move that section down the page following his slanderous comment about imaginary health issues. Anyone who bothers to go through the history can clearly see who is telling the truth.162.83.228.40 01:20, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Nominated for deletion because it appears to be a POV essay or letter, not an article. I can't figure out how it could be cleaned up into anything usable.

Talk:Joint European standard for size labelling of clothes

Untitled
I have been a garment Pattern Cutter for 25 years and I think this is long overdue. It will make a Pattern Grader's job much simpler when each clothing brand does not work to their own individual grading rules. One particular problem I always found was that nothing seemed to be written anywhere relating S,M,L,XL etc to actual body measurements - this standard gives it for men and women. I know that some countries were better than others in having a more regular system, eg Germany and Sweden?, which most of the new standard seems to be based on. I am surprised that it has taken so long for a standard to come for all Europe. Congratulations to all involved. T Tedstone,Ireland 15 Dec 2005

Men in Tights?
The table EN 13402-2 has a description of how to measure boys to wear pantyhose and stockings. Is that an error, or is that a metrosexual thing?
 * Neither. They are/were also a pretty common piece of infant clothing in some regions (for both male and female infants), typically made from cotton. Not sure about the exact English term in that context (or whether the concept is known at all in the English-speaking world), but Google for the German term Kinderstrumpfhose to see examples of the product. Comparing the German and English articles on pantyhose, I get the impression that in the English-speaking world, only the nylon-version for women is known, and not any other unisex variants for young kids, where thermal insulation rather than sex appeal was a design criterion. Markus Kuhn 17:57, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

 * That, and men do wear tights in theatre, dance and some sports. The "men in tights" phrase comes from "medieval-via-Hollywood" costumes to begin with. Plus, "tights" doesn't always mean pantyhose, anyway.

--Snowgrouse (talk) 07:28, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

Spelling
I've reverted the spelling back to British style, since this is more appropriate for a European article than American spelling Ian Cairns 23:05, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Since about half of all European languages write "meter" and the other half write "metre", I wouldn't worry about it too much. Markus Kuhn 14:30, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
 * No, I wouldn't worry either but I'd also agree that British spelling is more appropriate than American spelling for a European article. Jimp 17Oct05

hyphens versus 'to' for number ranges
For number ranges, I prefer to use the format 'x to y' and avoid formats such as 'x-y'. That is because the use of 'to' eliminates ambiguity with the format '-y' as used for negative numbers. I know that the reader can interpret this article correctly from the context but what do others think about using 'to' instead? Bobblewik 00:10, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

 * In this article, column width is a rather limited resource, so having an entire " to " between numbers should be out of the question IMHO. Also, replacing "-" with " to " will just make life more difficult for translators. Let's stick with the hyphen please. If people insist, I'd be able to live with an en-dash (–) instead of a hyphen (-). Markus Kuhn 19:50, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

 * I know that the reduction in ambiguity (good) comes with an increase in language dependence (bad) and an increase in column width (bad). I would rather that trade-off did not exist. I respect your judgement so perhaps I will reconsider. There is an active discussion about format for number ranges at: Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_%28dates_and_numbers%29. Your contribution will be welcome there. Regards. Bobblewik 22:00, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

When?
Can somebody please inform me as to when these new metric clothes sizes come into force. I live in the UK and have noticed that in the back of some of the Christmas catalogues, the measurement guides have all of a sudden converted to using centimetres only. I thought this was a bit strange as there is no information explaining the change over. I'm a supporter of metrication and am glad to see the UK is moving forward in its metrication process but there has been little information in the news. I'm glad were're finally using centimetres to measure clothes instead of inches as i coulndn't tell the difference between an inch and a yard. 23:31, 15 Nov 2005

 * These standards are a voluntary agreement between manufacturers and retailers who participate in the standardization prozess. They are not legally binding (unless governments decide to pass laws making them so, which I do not expect in this case). Therefore, there is no single well-advertised official switchover date like there was for the euro. It will be up to individual retailers to negotiate with their suppliers, what measuring and labeling conventions to use. I wouldn't expect any massive switchover before sometimes in 2006, when the fourth and final part of this standard will finally be published. Markus Kuhn 22:30, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I wouldn't say the standardization has much to do with metrication, as much as international trade. Before the standardization, there were several different standards in different countries, and a complete standardization could probably ease up things. 81.232.72.53 02:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * The British Standard BS 3666 was widely ignored by manufacturers, leading to the current confusion of vanity sizing —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Esthameian (talk • contribs) 22:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC).

I've read now that the final part of the standard has been published (June 2006)and that we should expect some conversion during 2007. Is anyone aware of when now (since last update by Markus Kuhn in December 2005)? Have any of the major clothes retailers (eg Marks and Spencer) confirmed that they will be adopting these (unfortunately) voluntary standards? Donbon 16:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

 * If anyone knows about adoption of this standard, please add it under Adoption section. 217.132.106.205 (talk) 10:38, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Pantyhose
Is it sensible, in a European article, to use an americanism that (according to the article) is not even used all the time? Surely tights would be preferable. Estrellador* 20:37, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I'm not an expert on British versus U.S. garment terminology, but I can confirm that "pantyhose" is the term actually used in Table 1 of the EN 13402-2:2002 standard. Since representatives of the British Standards Institution were involved in drafting this document, perhaps the term is not or no longer perceived as restricted to American English? Markus Kuhn 22:17, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Although if it is in the actual article on standards I suppose it would make sense to include it, wikipedia itself has pantyhose on List_of_American_English_words_not_used_in_British_English (pantyhose: tights (Note: The term, originally a trademark, refers to sheer nylon tights. Non-sheer tights (of cotton, wool, or thick nylon) are also called tights, not pantyhose, in the U.S.))
 * Surely then there is some discrepancy one way or the other? I have personally never heard pantyhose used, but then I'm male. Estrellador* 19:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Although this discussion is months old, I must say that as a 20-year-old American girl living on the east coast I very rarely hear the term "tights" used. I heard it used in grade school for those novelty pantyhose with pictures of flowers on them, but anymore I hear either "nylons," "stockings," or "pantyhose."  Remember, the United States is a pretty big place and there are discrepancies in terminology even within its borders.  My Victoria's Secret "Buy 10, get 1 free" card for hosiery simply uses the terms "hosiery" and "stockings" and they're based in Ohio. =) —  Indi  [ talk ] 14:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Dress size
Is it really sensible that dress size redirects to here? Surely there's an article about the different standards of dress size internationally. --Nathan (Talk) 16:19, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Be bold and write one, if you feel qualified in the subject. So far, this one seems to be the only article in Wikipedia on dress sizes, hence dress size redirects here until someone writes a general overview article on dress-size systems worldwide. Markus Kuhn 12:52, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

ribs
is there a standard for rib sizes which correspond with different dress sizes? Or is it just bust, waist and hips? Ammi 12:34, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you mean under bust girth? 178.201.101.32 (talk) 08:55, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

No foot width?
How come that apparently foot length is measured but foot width not? There is a significant variance in the population regarding this. --Abdull 19:24, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Possibly because the standard doesn't seem to be used for shoes, just for socks and stockings, which generally are made of relatively flexible fabric. 惑乱 分からん 18:29, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

 * The Mondopoint system is probably intended to be used for shoes. Sauer202 (talk) 20:02, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Cup size
The table talks about "Cup Size" as a secondary measure (in parenthesis) but it is not stated until way later what it actually is. Should it be in the list listed prior? Jim77742 13:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

CN height/secondary
I’ve lately seen designations like “M CN 175/84A” (cf. H&M US, H&M Japan). This appears to be a Chinese metric standard. Does anyone know specifics and is it similar or even compatible to EN 13402? — Christoph Päper 13:21, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

 * This appears to be height/bust measurements in centimetres. I can't find any information on what the A stands for though. I bought a jacket that reads 165/88A and though my bust is only 83cm, it is still very tight around my upper body. 156.155.132.58 (talk) 08:24, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

Adoption
This article would really benefit from a section on adoption, if anyone has any information. It looks like a very welcome advance over ad hoc labelling, but I haven't come across it much in UK clothes shops (although I'm no shopaholic). Are clothes manufacturers resisting its implementation for cost or other reasons? Are there plans to enforce or promote its introduction? If experience is anything to go by the UK will consider starting to come around to the idea several decades after the rest of Europe has adopted it across the board. Beorhtwulf (talk) 17:45, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I have noticed that shops seem to be using the single letter "S", "M", "X", "XL" etc in accordance with EN13402, but hiding the pictogram. These are mown observations and to publish that would be a matter of WP:OR (which is a no-no). I agree with Beorhtwulf that a section on adoption, whether it be done openly or covertly, would be useful. Martinvl (talk) 18:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Letter code table correct?
The letter codes, added with this edit, seem strange from a systematic PoV: from XXS through L for both, male and female, size designations a step of 8 cm is used, thereafter it gets inconsistent, although 12 cm seems to be a common step size. If it were systematic and the step size increased one step earlier for female garments the sequence looked more like this: So, is this table really correct? — Christoph Päper 11:25, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

 * I have found a new reference, you might like to look at that. Martinvl (talk) 13:32, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
 * That paper doesn’t cite the standard itself, but which in turn transcludes an earlier version of this very Wikipedia article. — Christoph Päper 15:03, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

The deviations result from combining two adjacent sizes, which have different step sizes (e.g. 4+4cm, 4+6cm and 6+6cm). 178.201.101.32 (talk) 08:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Cup sizes
An editor has removed references to the cup on grounds that it is a derived measurement. It might be, but as it is included in teh standard as a separate measurement, it has a place in the artcile. I have reinstated it. Martinvl (talk) 22:18, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Okay. Anyhow, does the standard really specify an AA cup and does it really leave out the I cup as the table indicates? Does it set a useful upper limit, e.g. N cup? 178.201.101.32 (talk) 08:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Uptodate?
This article has not been edited since 2012. But I haven't seen any clothes or shops making use of this norm (e.g the pictograms). Does that mean, the norm is dead and nobody is working on it anymore? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.228.228.12 (talk) 21:59, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

Street Trash

Street Trash is a 1987 American black comedy body horror film directed by J. Michael Muro (credited as Jim Muro). It won the Silver Raven at the Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film. The film has acquired a status as a cult classic independent horror-comedy and is one of a number of films known as "melt movies".

In the film, a liquor store in Brooklyn starts selling cheap alcoholic beverages to local hobos. The beverages date to the 1920s, and are actually poisonous. While a local cop investigates the series of unexplained deaths, homeless veterans of the Vietnam War group together as a dangerous gang.

Plot
The owner of a liquor store in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, New York City finds a case of cheap booze ("Tenafly Viper") in his basement. It is more than 60 years old and has gone bad, but he decides to sell it to the local hobos anyway. Unfortunately, anyone who drinks it melts away hideously. At the same time, two homeless brothers find different ways to cope with homelessness while they make their residence in a local junkyard while one employee, a female cashier and clerk (Jane Arakawa), frequently tends to both of them.

Meanwhile, an overzealous cop (Bill Chepil) is trying to get to the bottom of all the deaths, all the while trying to end the tyranny of a deranged Vietnam War veteran named Bronson (Vic Noto), who has made his self-proclaimed "kingdom" at the junkyard with a group of homeless vets under his command as his personal henchmen.

The film is littered with darkly comedic deaths and injuries. It also contains the notorious "severed privates" scene where a group of homeless people play catch with the severed genitals of one of their number, as he futilely attempts to recover it.

Cast

 * Mike Lackey as Fred
 * Bill Chepil as Bill the cop
 * Vic Noto as Bronson
 * Mark Sferrazza as Kevin
 * Jane Arakawa as Wendy
 * Nicole Potter as Winette, Bronson's girlfriend
 * R. L. Ryan as Frank Schnizer
 * Clarence Jarmon as Burt
 * Bernard Perlman as Wizzy
 * Bruce Torbet as Paulie
 * Miriam Zucker as Drunken Wench
 * M. D'Jango Krunch as Ed, the liquor store owner
 * Tony Darrow as Nick Duran, the Italian mobster
 * Ian Benardo as Obnoxious kid
 * James Lorinz as Italian restaurant doorman
 * Julian Davis as The Weekend Warrior

Production
Roy Frumkes wrote the screenplay. In an NBR profile he later said: "I wrote it to democratically offend every group on the planet, and as a result the youth market embraced it as a renegade work, and it played midnight shows." The film was based on a ten-minute student film directed by J. Michael Muro and starring Mike Lackey. Bryan Singer worked on the film as a grip.

Deleted scenes include a junkyard dance sequence and a sub-plot involving the relationship between Fred (Mike Lackey) and Bronson; these sequences are included in the documentary Meltdown Memoirs.

Release
The film was given a limited release theatrically in the United States by Lightning Pictures in June 1987. They also released the film on VHS the same year.

In 2005, Synapse Films marketed an all-new, digitally remastered version of the film. Included with the DVD were sticker-type "labels" of the Viper wine featured in the film. In 2006, a second release by Synapse Films was announced, featuring the documentary Meltdown Memoirs by writer Roy Frumkes. The feature includes interviews with most of the surviving cast and crew with the exception of Jane Arakawa. It also contains the original 16mm short version of Street Trash.

In 2010, Arrow Video released a two-DVD set in the UK featuring the documentary Meltdown Memoirs along with a previously unavailable featurette with Jane Arakawa and the booklet 42nd Street Trash: The Making of the Melt written by Calum Waddell. Since then, the movie has been released also on Blu-ray in numerous countries.

Reception
Street Trash received little critical attention upon its initial release. The film holds a 67% rating on review site Rotten Tomatoes, where critic Walter Goodman of The New York Times said of it, "It claims no redeeming social value, and you don't have to be a Supreme Court nominee to question whether the Founders could have foreseen anything like it when they wrote the First Amendment." Other reviewers on the platform consider Street Trash a crude but overlooked dark humour pioneer in the splatter film genre.

The film has since gained a cult following among horror fans on the internet, owing in part to the minor character role of an obnoxious kid being played by infamous contestant Ian Benardo from reality TV shows So You Think You Can Dance? and American Idol, both of which he lost due to rude and bizarre behaviour, making him an iconic meme on YouTube. Chuck Bowen of Slant Magazine said (of the Street Trash Blu-ray), "Street Trash is a cult item that’s almost earnestly eager to offend, which is admittedly an odd thing to say about a film that features a prolonged scene in which a group of bums play hot potato with a man’s severed penis. It’s a 1980s American film, like Repo Man, that celebrates the proletariat’s resigned disenfranchisement as a badge of aesthetic honour." He went on to describe the film as a satire of the 1980's American political hierarchy, and rated it 4/5 stars. Review platform AllHorror said of Street Trash that they "personally loved it... the title might lead you to think its purpose is to shine a light on how trashy the homeless are, but it actually succeeds in showing how trashy everyone is. Brian Eggert of Deep Focus Review criticized the film's attempts at shock value, saying, "around the time an unsuspecting bum inadvertently urinates on another, causing the pee-victim to chop off the offending man’s penis, while at the same moment, not far away, a would-be rapist engages in necrophilia with the corpse of a gang-rape victim, I decided Street Trash wasn’t my cup of tea... all I saw was a desperate attempt to get a reaction. My response to the film is the same with a bully or noisy child; I just roll my eyes and ignore it."

Saybrook Colony

The Saybrook Colony was an English colony established in New England in late 1635 at the mouth of the Connecticut River which today is Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Saybrook was founded by John Winthrop the Younger, son of John Winthrop the Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Winthrop the Younger was designated Governor by the original settlers, including Colonel George Fenwick and Captain Lion Gardiner. They claimed possession of the land via a deed of conveyance from Robert Rich, 2nd Earl of Warwick. The colony was named in honor of Lords Saye and Brooke, prominent Parliamentarians and holders of the colony's land grants.

History
Early settlers of the colony were ardent supporters of Oliver Cromwell and of democracy. Settlement preparations included sending a ship with an unusual cargo of ironwork for a portcullis and drawbridges, and even an experienced military engineer. Saybrook's fort was to be the strongest in New England. However, prominent Puritans soon "found the countrie [England] full of reports of their going", and they were worried that they would not be allowed to sell their estates and board their ship. By 1638, the plans for Saybrook were abandoned. The sponsors remained in England and played their respective political and military roles in the English Civil War and its aftermath. As a consequence, the colony struggled and, by 1644, the colony merged with the more vibrant Connecticut Colony a few miles up river.

In 1647, Major John Mason assumed command of Saybrook Fort, which controlled the main trade and supply route to the upper river valley. The fort mysteriously burned to the ground, but another improved fort was quickly built nearby. He spent the next 12 years there and served as Commissioner of the United Colonies, its chief military officer, Magistrate, and peacekeeper. He was continually called upon to fairly negotiate the purchase of Indian lands, write a treaty, or arbitrate some Indian quarrel, many of which were instigated by his friend Uncas.

Trash (Alice Cooper album)

Trash is the eleventh solo studio album by American rock musician Alice Cooper. It was released on July 25, 1989, by Epic Records. The album features the single "Poison", Cooper's first top ten hit since his single "You and Me" in 1977 and marked a great success in Cooper's musical career, reaching the Top 20 of various album charts and selling more than two million copies. Trash features John McCurry (who has previously worked with Julian Lennon) on guitar, Hugh McDonald of Bon Jovi on bass as well as Bobby Chouinard and Alan St. Jon, both from Billy Squier's solo band on drums and keyboards, respectively. The album was the "biggest hit among his hair metal albums", peaking at number two in the UK and number 20 in the US.

Overview
After his return to the music industry with the successful "The Nightmare Returns" tour, Cooper had sought assistance from Desmond Child to create a comeback album. Trash became one of Cooper's biggest albums, accompanied by music videos for "Poison", "Bed of Nails", "House of Fire", and "Only My Heart Talkin'". A successful year-long worldwide concert tour in support of the album was documented in the home video release Alice Cooper Trashes The World.

The album features many guest performances including Jon Bon Jovi, Stiv Bators, and singer/guitarist Kane Roberts (who left Cooper's band in 1988), as well as four of the five members of Aerosmith, Cooper's 1970s contemporaries who were also making a successful comeback at the time. Songwriting contributions were also made by Joan Jett, Diane Warren, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and John McCurry.

Critical reception
The album has received mostly positive reviews. AllMusic reviewer Alex Henderson gave the album four stars out of five describing it as a "highly slick and commercial yet edgy pop-metal effort that temporarily restored him to the charts in a big way". Rolling Stone placed the album at 36 on their list of the "50 Greatest Hair Metal Albums of All Time". Kerrang! put the album in sixth place in on their ranking of every Alice Cooper album. MetalSucks included the album at No. 7 on their list of "The Ten Best Must-Have Glam Metal Albums".

Zone d'études et d'aménagement du territoire

In 1967 the Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques (French National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies, INSEE), together with the French Commissariat général and DATAR (Délégation à l'aménagement du territoire et à l'action régionale) declared the nominal division of France into eight large regions. These were named Zones d'études et d'aménagement du territoire (Research and National Development Zones) or ZEAT.

Until 2016, the ZEAT corresponded to the first level in the European Union Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS 1).

Henry Baillie

Colonel Henry James Baillie PC (1803 – 16 December 1885), was a British Conservative politician. He served under Lord Derby as Under-Secretary of State for India from 1858 to 1859.

Background
Baillie was the son of Colonel Hugh Duncan Baillie, son of Evan Baillie, by his first wife Elizabeth, daughter of Reverend Henry Reynett. Peter Baillie and James Evan Baillie were his uncles. He was educated at Eton College.

Political career
Baillie was a friend of Benjamin Disraeli, and in 1835 was actually called upon by Disraeli to serve as his second (after d'Orsay declined), when it appeared that Disraeli and Morgan O'Connell, the son of Daniel O'Connell, were going to fight a duel, which apparently did not actually occur. In 1840 Baillie was elected Member of Parliament for Inverness-shire, and retained that seat until 1868. In the early 1840s he was associated with the "Young England" movement, of which Disraeli was the head. Another member of that group, George Smythe, was Baillie's brother-in-law. He apparently broke with Sir Robert Peel over the Corn Laws and accepted minor office in Lord Derby's 1852 government as Joint Secretary to the Board of Control. He again held office under Derby as Under-Secretary of State for India from 1858 to 1859. In 1866 he was sworn of the Privy Council.

Family
Baillie married firstly the Honourable Philippa Eliza Sydney Smythe, daughter of Percy Smythe, 6th Viscount Strangford, in 1840. They had several children. After Philippa's death in June 1854 he married secondly Clarissa Rush, daughter of George Rush, in 1857. Baillie died at the age of 82 and was buried in the Baillie family vault in the Lebanon Circle on the west side of Highgate Cemetery.

Robert Webster Cary

Rear Admiral Robert Webster Cary, Jr. (August 18, 1890 – July 15, 1967) is one of the most decorated officers in the history of the United States Navy and recipient of the Medal of Honor.

Education
Robert Cary was born in Kansas City, Missouri. He entered the University of Missouri in the fall of 1908 but left after the first semester of the following year and entered the United States Naval Academy where he graduated in 1914.

Military career
Scarcely a year after graduating the Naval Academy he received the Medal of Honor for action in a boiler explosion on board USS San Diego (ACR-6). He was standing by the first of five boilers that blew up and saved the lives of three men by dragging them out of the boiler room. He also took charge of the situation in the adjacent boiler room, putting out the fires and thus preventing the explosion of these boilers.

During World War I, Cary served on the destroyers based at Queenstown, Ireland. During World War I Cary was awarded the Navy Cross. During a hurricane, a depth charge on the fan-tail of USS Sampson (DD-63) broke loose, menacing the safety of the ship. Together, with three enlisted men, he went to the fan-tail, and they managed to secure this depth charge, including its safety pin, at a great risk of being washed overboard themselves.

During the years between World War I and World War II, Cary served in many capacities and many stations. He served as the Director of Base Maintenance and in the Office of Chief of Naval Operations where he initiated the establishment of bases at home and abroad at the commencement of World War II. Cary also served with great distinction in World War II when he took part in various campaigns in the European Theater of Operations. On September 11, 1943 Cary was involved in another dramatic naval action when the ship he was commanding, the USS Savannah, was struck by a German radio-controlled Fritz X glide-bomb. By the time Cary retired he had achieved the rank of Rear Admiral.

Upon his death in 1967 he was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, in Arlington, Virginia.

Medal of Honor citation
Cary, Robert

Rank and organization: Lieutenant Commander, United States Navy, U.S.S. San Diego

Place and date: Aboard U.S.S. San Diego, 21 January 1915

Entered service at: Bunceton, Missouri

Born: Kansas City, Missouri

Citation:

 * For extraordinary heroism in the line of his profession on the occasion of an explosion on board the U.S.S. San Diego, 21 January 1915. Lt. Comdr. Cary (then Ensign), United States Navy, an observer on duty in the firerooms of the U.S.S. San Diego, commenced to take the half-hourly readings of the steam pressure at every boiler. He had read the steam and air pressure on No. 2 boiler and was just stepping through the electric watertight door into No. 1 fireroom when the boilers in No. 2 fireroom exploded. Ens. Cary stopped and held open the doors which were being closed electrically from the bridge, and yelled to the men in No. 2 fireroom to escape through these doors, which 3 of them did. Ens. Cary's action undoubtedly saved the lives of these men. He held the doors probably a minute with the escaping steam from the ruptured boilers around him. His example of coolness did much to keep the men in No. 1 fireroom at their posts hauling fires, although 5 boilers in their immediate vicinity had exploded and boilers Nos. 1 and 3 apparently had no water in them and were likely to explode any instant. When these fires were hauled under Nos. 1 and 3 boilers, Ens. Cary directed the men in this fireroom into the bunker, for they well knew the danger of these 2 boilers exploding. During the entire time Ens. Cary was cool and collected and showed an abundance of nerve under the most trying circumstances. His action on this occasion was above and beyond the call of duty.

Fish Out of Water (Chris Squire album)

Fish Out of Water is the debut studio album by English bassist and songwriter Chris Squire, released in November 1975 by Atlantic Records. The album was recorded during a period in which each band member of Yes had taken down time to produce a solo album. Some of the musicians Squire hired for the project were former Yes drummer Bill Bruford, then-Yes keyboardist Patrick Moraz, King Crimson saxophonist Mel Collins and Canterbury scene flautist Jimmy Hastings. Squire's former bandmate in The Syn, Andrew Pryce Jackman, played piano and orchestrated the material.

Fish Out of Water reached No. 25 in the UK and No. 69 in the U.S. Despite it being well received by critics, Squire would not record another solo album until 2007, releasing an album of Christmas music entitled Chris Squire's Swiss Choir.

Background and recording
In early 1975, between the US and UK legs of Yes's tour in support of Relayer (1974), the band agreed to take time off for each member to record a solo album. When Squire started work on his, he contacted Andrew Pryce Jackman, a childhood friend and keyboardist/composer, who assisted with the album's conception and orchestration. Over the course of their collaboration, Jackman also contributed significantly to the writing. Squire offered to give him co-writing credits, but Jackman declined.

Fish Out of Water was recorded in the spring and summer of 1975 in two studios: New Pipers, Chris Squire's home studio in Surrey, and Morgan Studios in London. The title refers to his nickname "Fish", and being "...Out of Water" due to making music without Yes for the first time.

Songs
The introduction to "Hold Out Your Hand" features a passage played on the pipe organ at St Paul's Cathedral by cathedral organist Barry Rose, who had known Squire and Jackman during their boyhoods. The organ continues throughout the song, creating a rather original sound and reflecting Squire and Jackman's experiences together as church choristers. The title of "Lucky Seven" refers to the song being in a 7/8 time signature. A melodic passage from Yes's song "Close to the Edge" appears in the finale of "Safe (Canon Song)". The closing passage on "Safe" was played on the 4-string bass section of a double-neck guitar, using only the pickups of the 6-string guitar section.

Release
Fish Out of Water was released in November 1975. "Lucky Seven" was edited into a single by producer Tom Dowd which only saw a US release. "Hold Out Your Hand" was later performed by Yes during their 1976 North American tour with Squire singing the lead vocal. One critic at the concert wrote for Circus magazine: "Some ten thousand people responded to the Squire tune with a standing ovation". To further promote the album, a promotional film of "Hold Out Your Hand" and "You by My Side" was made in a studio; it featured mimed performances, with Bill Bruford, Patrick Moraz and Andrew Pryce Jackman appearing on their respective instruments in front of a small orchestra and against a white background. The orchestra was composed of players from the London Symphony Orchestra, who were on their way to record for another project. Squire could only afford a short amount of their time (roughly half an hour, which cost £3,000).

"Silently Falling" is sampled on "Falling Down" by New Zealand DJ and producer P-Money on his album Everything (2010).

Reissues and sequel
In a 2004 interview, Squire said that he wished to produce a 5.1 surround sound mix of the album using the master tapes, but declared the recordings had disappeared from Atlantic's archives. On 28 February 2006, it was reissued in the US by Wounded Bird Records. This was followed in August 2007 by a two-disc "Deluxe Expanded Edition" released on Squire's own label, Stone Ghost Records, (distributed by Castle/Sanctuary Records). The set included bonus material: a single edit of "Lucky Seven", the promotional film for "Hold Out Your Hand" and "You by My Side", track-by-track commentary, and a 40-minute interview with Squire conducted in November 2006.

Squire never recorded a follow-up, although he said he was frequently asked about such a project. He had hoped to reunite with Jackman and work on one together, but such plans ended following Jackman's death in 2003. In 2012, he reasoned much of the album's appeal and the strength of its music was down to his collaboration with Jackman. Though Squire had started to prepare pieces for more solo albums, he consistently found himself utilizing this material for band projects, including those with Billy Sherwood and Steve Hackett.

In 2018, a 7-disc deluxe edition was released, containing all of the previously available material plus new 5.1 and stereo mixes. In 2020, a one-disc blu-ray edition was released.

Track listing
All tracks written, arranged and produced by Chris Squire.

"Return of the Fox" is the B-side for Chris Squire & Alan White's single "Run with the Fox" (1981). Both tracks are written by Chris Squire, Alan White & former King Crimson lyricist Peter Sinfield.

SEK Studio

Korean April 26 Animation Studio, also known as SEK Studio (abbreviation of "Scientific Educational Korea"), is a state-owned North Korean animation studio, based in Ot'an-dong, Central District, Pyongyang.

History
The studio started operations in September 1957, as 4.26 Children's Film Studio (4.26아동영화촬영소).

SEK Studio worked with foreign animators and companies with relative frequency for a North Korean operation throughout the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. Around 1985, it began to outsource animation for European television. It has also done subcontracting work on over 250 foreign animations. They mainly worked on subcontracting Russian, Italian, French, Spanish and Chinese animation, with American animation being outsourced in an indirect way.

SEK has done work on several animated series with Mondo TV, including Pocahontas: Princess of the American Indians and Simba the King Lion,  (due to these two, it has been repeatedly misinformed that SEK has worked for The Walt Disney Company). SEK also has produced features such as the French science fiction epic Gandahar (The Light Years) and Empress Chung.

It was registered as the SEK Studio which stands for Scientific Educational Korea in 1997 in order to take part in an animation festival in France.

According to Cinema Escapist, its most prominent US projects were The Simpsons Movie, Futurama: Bender's Big Score and an episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender. According to the Korean Film Council, SEK Studio outsourced episode 72 of the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

Recently, international collaborations between SEK Studio and other nations has declined significantly, with only China co-producing content. This can largely be attributed to rising tensions between North Korea and the West, notably the United States. SEK Studio participated in "Shijiazhuang International Animation Exhibition" on September 30, 2014. SEK Studio is expected to introduce a new science fiction genre animation. Since 2010s, SEK studio has contracted with many animation studios in China and outsourced in Chinese TV series, web animations, game graphics and commercials. SEK is currently pursuing large-scale projects with Chinese animation companies. It relates to web animated series that will be produced in China.

In December 2021, the US Treasury accused SEK Studio and companies and individuals related to it, of exploiting North Korean workers to earn foreign currency and avoid sanctions on North Korea. In April 2024, a server leak revealed that some Western television series, such as Invincible and Iyanu: Child of Wonder, as well as the Japanese anime series Dahlia in Bloom, had been worked on by SEK Studio despite sanctions.

SEK Studio today
As of 2003, SEK Studio employed over 1,500 or 1,600 people and subcontracted work for over 70 companies from around the globe, including Europe, South Korea, China, Canada and the United States. After the introduction of advanced equipment, the number of employees was reduced to about 500. There are 11 animation production teams in SEK Studio, 9 production teams are responsible for overseas animations subcontracting, and the 2 production teams produce domestic animations. According to Animation Career Review, SEK is the 85th most influential animation studio of all-time. SEK Studio's staff is mostly from Pyongyang Art Academy, and SEK Studio has established an animation training institute to teach young students.

In 2014, SEK Studio cooperated with Chinese companies to establish an office in Beijing. SEK Studio also invested $70,000 in Chinese companies. Most employees are in their twenties.

Much of the work produced by SEK Studio is considered to be propaganda for North Korean children, with SEK Studio being state-owned and creating animation intended for a young audience.

Mildred Harris

Mildred Harris (November 29, 1901 – July 20, 1944) was an American stage, film, and vaudeville actress during the early part of the 20th century. Harris began her career in the film industry as a child actress when she was age 10. She was also the first wife of Charlie Chaplin.

Early life
Harris was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on November 29, 1901. Her parents were telegraph operator Harry Harris and Anna Parsons Foote. Harris made her first screen appearance at age 10 in the 1912 Francis Ford- and Thomas H. Ince-directed Western short The Post Telegrapher. She followed the film with various juvenile roles, often appearing opposite child actor Paul Willis. In 1914, she was hired by The Oz Film Manufacturing Company to portray Fluff in The Magic Cloak of Oz and Button-Bright in His Majesty, the Scarecrow of Oz. In 1916, at age 15, she appeared as a harem girl in Griffith's film Intolerance.

Career
In the 1920s, Harris transitioned from child actress to leading roles with Conrad Nagel, Charley Chase, Milton Sills, Lionel Barrymore, Rod La Rocque and the Moore brothers, Owen and Tom. She appeared in Frank Capra's 1928 silent drama The Power of the Press with Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and Jobyna Ralston, and the same year, she starred in Universal Pictures first sound film Melody of Love with Walter Pidgeon.

She found the transition to sound films difficult, and her career slowed dramatically. She performed in vaudeville and burlesque, and at one point, she toured with comedian Phil Silvers. She was critically praised for her performance in the 1930 film adaptation of the Broadway musical No, No Nanette. In the 1936 Three Stooges comedy Movie Maniacs, she portrayed a film starlet who is startled by Curly Howard when he strikes a match on the sole of her foot.

Harris continued to work in film in the early 1940s, largely through the kindness of Cecil B. DeMille, who cast her in bit parts in 1942's Reap the Wild Wind (starring Paulette Goddard, who like Harris, was once married to Charlie Chaplin), and 1944's The Story of Dr. Wassell.

At age 16, Harris met actor Charlie Chaplin in mid-1918, dated, and she thought she was pregnant by him, but the pregnancy was found to be a false alarm. They married privately on October 23, 1918, in Los Angeles. She later became pregnant. The couple quarreled about her contract with Louis B. Mayer and her career. Chaplin felt she was not his intellectual equal. Their child, Norman Spencer, died in July 1919, at age 3 days, and the couple separated in Autumn 1919.

Chaplin moved to the Los Angeles Athletic Club. Harris believed a happy marriage was possible, but in 1920, she filed for divorce based on mental cruelty. Chaplin accused her of infidelity, and although he would not name her lover publicly, actress Alla Nazimova was suspected. The divorce was granted in November 1920, with Harris receiving $100,000 in settlement and some community property.

In 1924, Harris married Everett Terrence McGovern. The union lasted until November 26, 1929, when Harris filed for divorce in Los Angeles on the grounds of desertion. The couple had one son, Everett Terrence McGovern, Jr., in 1925. Their son, Everett, died in 2014. In 1934, she married former football player William P. Fleckenstein in Asheville, North Carolina. Fleckenstein owned a musical show in which he and Harris were performing at the time of their marriage.
