Thomas Saint patented the first sewing machine in 1790. Since then, the sewing machine has become one of the iconic symbols of the Industrial Revolution, representing the transition from traditional handmade goods to automated production. For many decades the sewing machine was a standard household appliance, but it is no longer considered a domestic necessity. Although the heyday of the sewing machine has come and gone, we can still recognize its significance in our history. Without this important invention, the process of making clothing (and any sewn item) would be extremely tedious. Each article would have to be sewn by hand, stitch by stitch! To celebrate Sewing Machine Day, dig out your sewing machine and start a new project, or sign up for a sewing class to learn this important handcraft![/SIZE][/I] [B][FONT=Arial][COLOR=#ff8000][SIZE=6]SU News[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/B] [IMG]http://blacktoptv.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Taurean-ThompsonNEW427.jpg[/IMG] [B][URL='http://shoutengine.com/TheBenSigelPodcast/taurean-thompson-update-20418']World Held Hostage Day 287/The Continuing Story of Taurean Thompson[/URL][/B] (podcast; shoutengine.com; Sigel) [I]On tonight's podcast, I talk about everything surrounding Taurean Thompson.

But the secret is out. Boeheim is also a masterful recruiter for the Coaches vs. Cancer golf tournament. "He comes to this event all over the country every year, brings his ringers, brings the club champion from here at Oak Hill, Darren Ressler," veteran broadcaster and SU graduate Sean McDonough said before Sunday's event at Oak Hill Country Club. "Darren usually shoots 65 or 66 on his own ball. As we know ... the most important part of coaching is being a good recruiter. (Boeheim) even recruits well with his ringers on the golf course."

The 71-year-old native of Lyons, Wayne County and a Naismith Basketball Hall of Famer, Boeheim and his wife, Juli, raised more than $3.2 million for Coaches vs. Cancer during a 10-year run from 2000 to 2009. ...

Developers to pitch plans to town[/URL] [/B](PS; AP) [B][/B] [I]Developers are set to unveil plans this week for a Legoland amusement park in Upstate New York's Hudson Valley. Officials with Merlin Entertainments are expected to give details about the proposed amusement park based on the popular plastic construction toy on Tuesday night in Goshen at a town board meeting. Orange County had been wooing developers for months after Legoland scrapped plans last year to build in neighboring Rockland County. Sources say the proposed Legoland would be built along Harriman Drive near Route 17, [URL='http://www.recordonline.com/article/20160525/NEWS/160529607']the Times Herald-Record reports.[/URL] Such a theme park would create about 1,000 jobs, bring in additional tax revenues and aid local restaurants and small businesses, county officials told the newspaper. The company reportedly was planning to invest $250 million in the Rockland County site before the project was scuttled. [I]...[/I] [/I] [/QUOTE]
