Trump: Border Security and Safe Communities
By Mark Truppner	 Published Jan 14, 2019 06:00 am
President Trump discussed Border Security and Safe Communities during a roundtable discussion in the Cabinet Room at the White House.
Trump was Monday's KVML "Newsmaker of the Day". Here are his words:
"So we're here today to address the humanitarian and security crisis on our southern border. I just got back. It was a sight to behold. Not pretty. Very dangerous. Drugs are flowing across. Human traffickers — you think of that as an ancient crime. It's not an ancient crime. It's more prevalent today in this world — far beyond the United States. It's a world crime given to us, very much, by the Internet and bad people.
The Internet has made things, in many ways, better, and, in many ways, much worse. But human trafficking — grabbing women, in particular — and children, but women — taping them up, wrapping tape around their mouths so they can't shout or scream, tying up their hands behind their back and even their legs and putting them in a backseat of a car or a van — three, four, five, six, seven at a time.
They don't go through checkpoints. They go through areas that don't have a wall or don't have a steel barrier. They go up to the checkpoint, and before they get to it, they'd make a right or a left, depending on where they are, and they go out into the desert or out into the land, and they find the first area that doesn't have anything blocking its way. And they have mini-highways all over the place. You can see it all over the place and it's not good.
And the only way you're going to stop it — the only way to stop it, without question, is with a very powerful wall or steel barrier. This is part of what we've just finished. This is a section that we're doing. This is what we've designed since I've been in. Some of the wall that they put up over the years — which, by the way, should have been put up whether it looked good or not — should have been put up a long time ago. We inherited a lot of problems, whether it's North Korea, whether it's the Middle East, whether it's a lot of other things. We took over a lot of problems and we're straightening them out one by one.
One of the big problems we have is our border — our southern border. And we're going to take care of it. Now, the easy solution is for me to call a national emergency. I could do that very quickly. I have the absolute right to do it but I'm not going to do it so fast, because this is something Congress should do and we're waiting for the Democrats to vote. They should come back and vote. They want to go home. They're probably home by now.
And Nancy and Chuck and all of the folks that could settle this thing in 15 minutes — I used to say "45 minutes," now I say "15 minutes." It's so simple. We need money for a barrier. If we don't have a barrier, we're just wasting all of the other money. There's no technology that's any good. I'd think you'd say that. You know that probably better than anybody — most of you guys. You know, without the barrier, you don't have security. Without the barrier, you have people driving in, loaded up with drugs, with smuggled people, with all sorts of things that you don't want to know about. So we need a barrier. It's a very simple meeting.
We can also do a much more major form of immigration reform, and I'd look forward to doing that, along with many other people at the table, including our Vice President. And we look very much forward to moving on that. But first, we have to get a barrier because it all doesn't work without protection.
The Rio Grande area where I was yesterday, you just have to look at it to see how dangerous it is. El Paso, Texas went from one of the most unsafe parts or cities in the United States to one of the safest cities in the United States as soon as they put up the wall. They built a wall and fencing apparatus that blocked people. So they went from one of the most dangerous cities to one of the safest cities, all within a very short period of time.
It's common sense, folks. Everyone knows it works. Everyone knows it's not expensive. They say it's "medieval." Well, so is the wheel — medieval. I looked at all the vans and all of the serious equipment that they surrounded me with yesterday — the Secret Service, the police, the Border Patrol, ICE. Every one of those had the wheel. Well, they say wheels are medieval, too. But some things don't change. Wheels and walls. And they haven't found an alternative to either of those two, right? They haven't found an alternative.
So we want Congress to do its job. We want the Democrats to come back and vote, wherever they may be. I haven't left the White House except to go to Iraq for a very short period of time, where I had a great experience, frankly. I met some great people, some great generals. We have great ideas having to do with Syria.
And it's working out very well. We're knocking the hell out of ISIS, and we're bringing our folks back home. And we're going to always have a presence. And it's working out very well. A lot of things are working out well. North Korea is working out very well. A lot of things are working out well, but the southern border is something that should be easy.
So what we're not looking to do right now is national emergency. What we want to do — we have the absolute right to do it. In many ways, it's the easy way out. But this is up to Congress, and it should be up to Congress and they should do it. And if they can't do it — if they yell that "We can't do it. There's no way we can vote for security. There's no way we can vote for safety." All Nancy and Chuck have to do is tell me. And you know what? We'll start thinking about another alternative.
But this is one of the easy votes they'll ever have. It's very simple. And then we go on to major reform on immigration. And I look forward to that because after 50 years of talking about it, they should have done it.
And, frankly, previous Presidents should have done the wall. It should have been done. Not just sections — small sections. The problem with doing a section of wall is they come around it. So the wall works for the area that it is, but when you have the big openings, they just come around it. And we can't allow that to happen.
So we have great plans. I met yesterday with the Army Corps of Engineers. You know, we're building the wall right now as we speak. Somebody said, "Oh, but we had $1.6 billion and they haven't spent it." The reason we haven't spent it is because the contractors are building it. And unlike governments — and this government, in particular — I like paying after it's built instead of before it's built. (Laughter.) Okay? I learned that a long time ago, in building buildings. You let your contractor do the work and then you see if they did a good job. And if they didn't do a good job, don't pay them. And if they do a good job, pay them fast.
So a lot of fables were told. A lot of lies were told.
So we're building wall as we speak. We've done a lot of renovation. Some of the renovation, we had no choice; we had to rip it down and build new wall. You'll see that in San Diego and some other areas where we actually went to a new wall because it was almost better and cheaper in some ways than trying to renovate old garbage that wasn't going to work. And in some cases, you had a good structure. You had a good basis — less expensive to renovate, generally speaking. And we've done a great job.
So we've done a lot of renovation. We've done new wall and we're building the new wall as we speak. And the money that they say we didn't spend has been spent, but it hasn't been paid. There's a big difference. And when the contractors finish up, they get paid and they're doing a second section.
Army Corps has been very impressive. Working with them has been great. The new wall that we've designed is really beautiful. It's visual; you can see through it, which you have to be able to do. I mean, I'd like to have a concrete wall in one way, but, in another way, it wouldn't be very effective because you can't see to the other side.
So these are steel walls. And, in many cases, steel walls — it's steel that is — that has concrete inside. It's pumped into the steel. It's hollow and it's pumped into the steel, so it's sort of a combination of both, which is not a bad combination.
So I just want to thank the people at this table — some very special people, some great friends of mine. And what I thought I'd do is just go down to my left, and maybe I'll have three or four of you say a few words to the press. And then we could all start talking about what we'll be talking about, okay?
And, Bunny, you've been a friend of mine for a long time — right from the beginning — and I appreciate it. And maybe I'll start with you and we'll go over to A.J.
SHERIFF WELSH: Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. I'm the Sheriff of Chester County, Pennsylvania. Thank you for inviting us here today. Chester County is located, as you know, just southwest of Philadelphia — an area you're familiar with.
THE PRESIDENT: Very.
SHERIFF WELSH: We're known as a healthy, wealthy, and wise county, and the home of QVC. (Laughs.)
THE PRESIDENT: That's right.
SHERIFF WELSH: I like to tell you that because I want to let you know what a wonderful county it is of half a million people. And I want to share with you a very short story of a young boy named Ben, who took a trip one night from Chester County into the city of Philadelphia, where he acquired heroin laced with fentanyl. He brought that back to Chester County, and within an hour he was dead.
I spoke to his father yesterday and told him that I would be seeing you today. And I asked his father if there was anything he wanted me to share. He gave me a wonderful story. I've given it to Kellyanne. Kellyanne, you have the story, a family story.
But I just want to read you the last line of the letter he sent to you, Mr. President, relating to his son, Ben. "His body was exposed to a heroin substance, new on the scene, laced with fentanyl — 100 times the strength of morphine — which stopped his heart and breath, robbing us of our only beautiful boy. Drugs that came over our unprotected southern border…" And, by the way, the DEA did trace this directly to a cartel over the Mexican border. "Drugs that came over our unprotected southern border, wreaking havoc on the lives of hundreds of thousands of lives and millions of loved ones. We need to do something about this. Please, Mr. President, build the wall."
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. That's — please say hello. Okay? Thank you very much, appreciate it.
A.J.? Sheriff?
SHERIFF LOUDERBACK: Mr. President, from the men and women of law enforcement for the federal, state, and local level, we thank you for standing tall for us.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you.
SHERIFF LOUDERBACK: Let me address the word "manufactured" that we keep hearing. It's very demeaning to law enforcement, because it's not — there's not one agent, not any agency in this country that is not affected by manufacturing. And manufacturing, I mean by the metric ton of methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, and marijuana that each agency in our nation has to fight every single day. And it extremely distressing to law enforcement to have to listen to the rhetoric about manufactured crisis, when we, for ten years, over a decade, have been fighting this religiously every day. That affects every law enforcement agency in the United States on a constant basis.
So again, sir, thank you for your position on this and standing tall for us.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Sheriff. I appreciate it. And on Wednesday, you probably heard, a very young person with a great life ahead was stabbed viciously — violently killed by an MS-13 gang member who entered our country recently through the southern border. He had a friend with him; they both came in together. Here, just for a short while. Kills somebody. That wouldn't be the first. We have them locked up in pretty tough conditions. It's a disgrace. Came through the southern border.
Please. Say a few words, please.
PASTOR URRABAZO: Mr. President Trump, I'm Pastor Pasqual from the International Church of Las Vegas. Thank you for having me today. Thank you for everything you're doing for America.
PASTOR URRABAZO: I would like to share something with you about human trafficking, the crisis we're having. As you know, we're connected to California; Las Vegas, Nevada is next door. Many of the girls that are being brought across the border through the San Diego area end up in Las Vegas. And what happens there is that, you know, they're illegal immigrants, families that are coming in, and we are — we're having the parents coming to the churches and asking us if could help them find their daughters because their daughters have been kidnapped and — you know, human trafficking.
And they said — I had to ask them, "Did you call the police department?" "Yes, we did." So I connect with the police department. (Inaudible) back. we're working together, and we're able to get these young ladies back. But the problem is that we're having it happen more and more and more and more than ever before.
And what happens with the parents, they're afraid to call law enforcement that come and help, so they come to the churches first. They feel they're going to get deported. So we're there as a safe place for them to come, but then we connect them with the police department and do educate the Hispanic communities that the police is not going to arrest them for something that's happening on human trafficking. So, sir, we need your help.
THE PRESIDENT: So you are seeing human trafficking, especially with respect to young women?
PASTOR URRABAZO: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: More now than ever before?
PASTOR URRABAZO: Yes. Young women, yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Pretty sad. Pretty sad. Thank you very much, Pastor. Appreciate it. Please.
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JONES: Mr. President, thank you for letting me be here. John Jones, Chief of the Intelligence and Counterterrorism division with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
THE PRESIDENT: Great reputation, John.
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JONES: We've been there for about — I've been in that position for 10 years. And as you well know, with Texas, we've been dealing with this crisis for a very long time. Some of the things we see, and a lot of the discussion you hear is about unaccompanied children, but the thing that bothers me is some of the children in Texas.
For the last seven years, we had over 4,000 people incarcerated that are illegal aliens in Texas jails for sexual assault. The sad thing is, 62 percent of them are sexual assault against children. And those are Texas children. Those are American children. Those are our children.
And for anybody to put a price on any child's life — that's our most precious and cherished national treasure, and we should do everything and anything as public safety servants, as parents, and as leadership to protect those children.
THE PRESIDENT: And closing up that border to the bad people would be a great thing, John.
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JONES: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Great thing. Please. Thank you.
SHERIFF O'CONNOR: Mr. President, howdy. (Laughter.) I'm T. Michael O'Connor, I'm the sheriff of Victoria County. We're just north of Corpus Christi. We're part of that Harvey territory, which got damaged that you came — and we appreciate you and the Vice President coming to see us and visiting with us and supporting our progress.
You've heard the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey used to say. Basically, we're the rest of the story. In 2003, there was unfortunately a national incident in our county with regards to loss of life. Nineteen people lost their lives in a tractor-trailer incident. I was one of the first responders. I walked around, and what I saw was a pile of deceased individuals with one child, deceased as well, to which he was in the arms of the children — of the father.
I vowed from that point on, to go forward and make a difference, not only for our brethren sheriffs on the border, but also ourselves inland. We have to be multidimensional on this. We deemed it as a "fatal funnel," Mr. President. It's a Rio Grande Valley to Laredo; anything to and from is Houston and beyond. And so even in my jurisdiction, we have apprehended a child trafficking case in that area. We have taken on cases with slavery of the human being.
But it's still all about law and order, Mr. President. I mean, what we're seeing is you have to shore up, you have to pursue the initiative that you have led.
Now I've been in forums like this with other Presidents. And they listen, but you are the very first President, even in your candidacy, to support local, state, and federal agencies. And I admire you for that, and I appreciate you for that. But understand that it's multidimensional. And, yes, it's the border.
And as we told our fellow sheriffs on the border: Look, if we can help you fix your problem, that's going to help us. And every day, my deputies, along with Sheriff Louderback because we're adjacent to each other, are in pursuit dealing with one thing or another with transnational criminal activities.
But I want to comment one more thing, and then I'll move on. I appreciate you taking ONDCP, putting it back on that Cabinet level. I serve on the Houston HIDTA, which takes, you know, Houston and all the way to South Texas. If it weren't for the HIDTAs and ONDCP and funding — and this is your best resource. Now, I'm sure some of the feds may differ, but there is a matrix of state, local, and federal that are part of those HIDTAs across the nation, and they are the subject matter expert and they have helped us with information, intelligence, outreach, et cetera to try to work on this.
But, you know, until we have this means of a barrier wall — call it what you want — you've got to have that before we can solve our problems down the road.
Thank you, Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Sheriff. You know, when you talk about the big trailers coming in and loaded up with people, and the doors are locked in the back, and sometimes they're left abandoned and they all die a hell of a death, they're suffocated — they come from the other side of the border. They don't go through a checkpoint. You can't go through a checkpoint because they open up the back door and say, "Take a look." So you go and they go out onto the different areas, depending on where you're going, what checkpoints. They go in between the checkpoints.
Most of the problem — we get a lot — we get a lot of drugs, a lot of things at the checkpoints, but they're usually hidden in hubcaps, in engines, and under the floor. But the big stuff comes in in between the checkpoints. And the trailers come in loaded up with people, with the doors locked in the back. They don't even give them a chance. The doors are locked. And sometimes you have the drivers running away. It's a disgrace.
These — all of this comes in between the checkpoints where there is no wall. Because you'll have some wall — a little wall — left and right of a checkpoint, generally speaking. But in between checkpoints, you might have 50 miles, 60 miles, even 100 miles. And that's where tremendous problems occur. And even yesterday, I read where, fairly close to where I was, like 26 people were killed.
SHERIFF O'CONNOR: Yes, (inaudible).
THE PRESIDENT: Gang members and drug dealers, they were killed like a few days ago, right next to where I spent quite a bit of time with great people from Border Patrol. You know about that. You heard about that.
SHERIFF LOUDERBACK: (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: This was like — you know, it's amazing because I get — it got no publicity. I didn't see it. You don't read about this stuff. They're not telling you the truth about — really, you're doing this country a tremendous disservice. You're not telling the truth about the criminal activity and the crime. Twenty-six people or thereabouts. What was the number? Twenty-six?
SHERIFF O'CONNOR: Yes, sir.
THE PRESIDENT: Twenty-six people were killed over the last couple of days. Nobody even talks about it. I haven't heard about this young person that was killed yesterday — 16 years old. Brutally murdered. I haven't heard anything about it.
The media is not telling the American public how — how bad it is, how dangerous it is. I mean, I read a little story about the 26. I said, "How could that be a small story?" But what's going on — the crime, and the drugs, and the smuggling, and the — of everything, including children. We're talking women, yes. But probably the biggest victim of everything we're talking about today are children.
And children are used. They're dropped on the border, and they're used to get people across because they have an advantage — because of the stupidity of what we've got and laws that we've inherited, they have an advantage if they have a child. So they grab children at the border. They walk across. They get across easier if you have children. So they're just using the children. Then they tell them to get out of here.
The worst victims are the children and the women. And you don't write about it. You know, you write about nonsense. You write about Nancy Pelosi saying it's immoral to have a wall. It's immoral to have all these people killed. These people are being killed, and you don't report it because you're fake news. You don't report it, many of you. Twenty-six people killed, and I didn't even hear about it.
I mean, nobody even knows about it. And that's — how close it that to where I was yesterday? It was right alongside, I think. Right? How far was that away?
SHERIFF O'CONNOR: Miles. Miles away. Not far at all.
THE PRESIDENT: Miles away. You don't even hear about it because you don't want to tell the story of what's going on at the border. You don't want to tell the story about how dangerous it is. So you have people get up and say walls are immoral. What's immoral is what's going on. It's — there's never been anything like it. And we can stop it so easy.
And the Border Patrol and ICE — they're doing a fantastic job. But we're not giving them the equipment when we're not giving them the walls or the steel barriers or whatever you want to call it. We're not giving them the equipment.
Remember El Paso? Remember what I said about El Paso? From one of the worst to one of the best.
Yes, ma'am. Please go ahead.
MS. GASPAR: I'm San Diego County Supervisor Kristin Gaspar. We're the fifth-largest county in the nation. We actually have the busiest land crossing in the entire world. And we do rely on our border to maintain that strong, binational economy. But at the same time, we rely on our border to keep us safe.
The last time, I had the opportunity to share the tragic loss of Alexander Mazin, a young person in San Diego who was brutally murdered while his killer slipped freely across the border into Mexico.
Today, I'd like to share with you an alarming trend about what's really happening with the insecurity of our border when it comes to the exploitation of our children. There is an alarming trend in San Diego that our young teens in San Diego schools are being actively recruited by violent drug cartels. They're being pack mules for these drug cartels — smuggling heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl across the border.
It's become such an alarming trend that they're being recruited over social media. They're being recruited over gaming consoles. They're being recruited in traditional safe spaces, like our schools and our libraries and our parks.
Last year, 527 San Diegans lost their lives. They overdosed because of these drugs that are pouring across our border. In addition, San Diego is America's finest city. But America's finest city is now home to the second-largest human trafficking industry in the country.
Our children are being sexually exploited because of the insecurity at our border. San Diego — this evil industry raked in close to a billion dollars last year. There are 12,000 human trafficking victims and survivors in San Diego County alone — the average age, sixteen years old. Sixteen years old.
A third of this trafficked population are the very immigrants who have come to the United States to make for a better life.
Now, 2,200 miles from Washington, D.C., representatives like me are held accountable by these families and these victims each and every day, while a standoff continues here. And so I challenge our congressional members to meet with these families, to meet with these victims, to look them in the eye, and tell them that this is not a crisis.
Thank you for the opportunity to be here.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Thank you very much. And this is where I ask the Democrats to come back to Washington, and to vote for money for the wall, the barrier — whatever you want to call it is okay with me. They can name it whatever. They can name it "Peaches." I don't care what they name it. But we need money for that barrier.
I will say this: The Republicans have been rock solid. They want this to happen. They've wanted it to happen a long time ago, and, frankly, for many years. I'm not just talking about now. I'm talking about for years.
I gave, yesterday, an example. With Israel, for many years, everybody campaigning for President said they were going to move the embassy to Jerusalem — the American embassy to Jerusalem. This went on, Pastor, as you know, for many, many years. Many, many Presidents, dating back all the way to — who was the first? And they never did it.
And I said the same thing — same words, same campaign. But I did it and got it done, and people are very happy. Jewish population and evangelicals — unbelievably happy. I did it. I understand why they didn't do it because it was very tough to do. It met with a lot of nasty talk before I did it. And then I did it. And it was done.
And now we've just opened up the embassy, as you know, long ahead of budget and schedule, and way under budget. Like, how about a billion dollars under budget? Opened it up for almost nothing — an existing building that we renovated.
But the fact is: For years and years, I heard about the embassy going to Jerusalem and the — people would campaign. They were in for four years. They were in for eight years. They'd never get it done. I got it done.
This is a very similar thing. I've been hearing about putting a really good wall — and, in my case, I like to say a "beautiful" wall because I think it makes a difference. I've seen some of the wall they put up; it's so unattractive that I understand why other people don't want it. But this is a great-looking — this is a great-looking structure. I mean, it's — it's going to look great.
It's going to do the trick beyond belief. It's far better than anybody had projected. We have it at a much lower cost. And it's better. It's stronger. It's better. And you have the vision through. You have — you're able to see through. But we're going to get it done.
And I compare that to the embassy because they talked about it for 45, 50 years — longer. And we got it done. We're going to get this done, too.
Now, Republicans are rock solid. I have to hand it to him — Mitch McConnell. Every one of them — Kevin — they have been so strong on this. I'm very impressed.
The Democrats are just following politics. And I'm not saying that for any reason other — I guess they're looking at 2020. They think, "Gee, if we can hurt Trump, we'll have a better chance of winning an election."
This isn't about winning an election. This is very simply — very, very simply about doing what's right for the country. And we have to do what's right for the country. This is common sense. This is not sending rockets to the moon. This is common sense. We have to have this. This country has to have it.
They've been talking about it for 35 years. And they do little pieces — a little piece here, a little piece there. Put a piece where we need it. The people just go around it. We have to have it. It's got to get done. It's got to get done now.
Congress has to do its duty and the Democrats have to help us. They have to come back to Washington, and they have to vote for border security. They have to vote for safety. It's national security, too. They have to come back and they have to vote. It'll take us 15 minutes, and then we're going to get on to much bigger immigration reform because we should do that. We should do that.
I want to thank everybody for being here. We're going to have, now, the rest of the meeting. Media, thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Q Mr. President, when will you sign the back pay bill?
Q Mr. President, any message to the federal employees? Any message to the federal employees who are not getting paid today? Any message?
THE PRESIDENT: The message is that I appreciate their service to the country. They are incredible people — the federal employees that we're talking about. But many of them agree with what I'm saying and with what the people in this room, who are experts, are saying. They don't want to see people killed because we can't do a simple border structure. And I appreciate their incredible support.
We have, yesterday — it was — I was watching this morning and reading this morning that so many people are saying the President is doing what's right, and even though it's affecting us short-term, temporarily — as you know, a bill was just passed, which I will sign, in Congress, making sure that everybody is going to be paid immediately upon — when this is over.
But I just really appreciate the fact that they have handled it so incredibly well. And many of them agree with what we're doing. We have no choice.
Steve, go ahead.
Q Twenty-four hours ago, you were saying that you were probably going to declare a national emergency. What —
THE PRESIDENT: No, I said I could do it. But, it's —
Q What's changed over the last 24 hours?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I'll tell you why. It's the easy way out, but Congress should do this. This is too simple. It's too basic. And Congress should do this. If they can't do it — if, at some point, they just can't do it — this is a 15-minute meeting. If they can't do it, I will declare a national emergency. I have the absolute right to do it, it says, as clear as you can.
Now, what will happen? I'll be sued. It'll be brought to the 9th Circuit. And maybe, even though the word is unambiguous, just like with the travel ban, it'll be appealed to the 9th Circuit, and we'll probably lose there, too. And then, hopefully, we'll win in the Supreme Court.
But that's what happens. You can take the most perfectly worded document, as we have in this case, and they'll always bring it to the 9th Circuit. And then you never know what's going to come out of the 9th Circuit. And you never know what's going to come out on appeal. But, fortunately, we have a Supreme Court that's treated us very fairly.
So I'd rather not do it because this is something that Congress should easily do. This is something that the Democrats should do. And I don't want to give an easy way out of something as simple as this. Not only simple, it's easy and it's going to secure our — you know, we have a country that is under siege. You could — actually, you know a lot of people don't like the word "invasion." We have a country that's being invaded by criminals and by drugs. And we're going to stop it.
So I want the Democrats to come back to Washington and vote. Thank you very much. Thank you everybody. Thank you."

Paradiddle Variations
Ask any drummer to think of a rudiment and most likely it will be the Single Paradiddle that first comes to mind. The word is pretty much synonymous with the term "snare drum rudiments". I remember the first time it was demonstrated to me on the counter of my local drum shop when I was just a kid. "You don't know what a paradiddle is?" the shop keeper exclaimed. Although embarrassed to admit it, I wasn't quite sure what was so special about this simple little sticking. "Why do I need drum lessons if this is all you're going to show me?" I arrogantly thought. Well, 20 years on I've certainly realised how it opens doors to so much of drumming...
AIN'T WHAT YOU GOT, IT'S THE WAY THAT YOU USE IT
Being able to play a paradiddle on a shop counter—or any other counter for that matter—won't make you a great drummer. But understanding what you can do with it is like stepping into the magic wardrobe and finding yourself in Narnia. Perhaps that's an exaggeration, but you could certainly call it the ABC of drumming.
SWITCHING THE "LEAD HAND"
The paradiddle is simply a set of single strokes (pa-ra) followed by a double stroke (did-dle) i.e. RLRR or LRLL. It's often used as a method to switch your "lead hand" by adding a double stroke to a continuous flow of single strokes. By doing this you change which hand falls on the beat. This way you can take an unexpected turn in your fills, solos or even grooves.
THE 3 VARIATIONS
What isn't talked about as much is the variations you can create out of the Single Paradiddle, which I believe demonstrate how useful this rudiment really is. We can make 3 variations of the Single Paradiddle by beginning a division later each time. Firstly on the "ra", then the "did" and finally the "dle".
Ra-did-dle-pa
The first variation is sometimes called the "Inward Paradiddle" or "Inverted Paradiddle". Here the "diddle" (double stroke) is sandwiched between the single strokes. When played as 8th notes the second stroke of the "diddle" lands on the beat.
Did-dle-pa-ra
The second variations begins with the "diddle" and is sometimes called the "reverse paradiddle". This is because it can be thought of as a paradiddle played backwards. Like a Single Paradiddle the "diddles" fall on the beat when played as 8th notes.
Dle-pa-ra-did
Finally, the third variation begins on the second of the "diddle" strokes when played as 8th notes. This variation doesn't have a name so I like to call it the "outward paradiddle" because the diddle is now split either side of singles. This variation isn't so common but it has a lovely effect.
BUILD YOUR INDEPENDENCE
Once we begin adding the bass drum on the beat these variations they become a fantastic work out for your independence as well. Playing the bass drum on the second "diddle" is a lot more difficult than you'd initially expect. Take your time with it, this may take a few goes, but it's worth persevering with as it will do wonders for your technique!
Try playing these variations between two different drums or cymbals, or try playing the "diddles" on one drum and the singles on another. Listen to the effect this has. Can you come up with any other ways of playing these around the kit? Let me know by leaving a comment below! Better still, make a practice video and upload it to the Drumadiddle Facebook page. Remember to tag your videos #WarmUpWednesday!

Did you know that nine-out-of-ten drivers may be too distracted to drive safely? Or that texting while driving is so dangerous that you are 23 times more likely to crash?
Distracted driving becomes even more prominent during the holidays because of things like increased travel, stress, fatigue, and schedules becoming increasingly busier.
When these types of accidents happen, the reality is that critical care can often be hours away. The STARS mission is simple – to save lives. Access Insurance is proud to stand with the men and women of STARS who offer time, hope, and life-saving transport to critically ill and injured patients.
Drive safely. Make it home for the holidays.
Why do you support STARS? Utilize the STARS hashtag #ISupportSTARS and let them know.
Here are a few of STARS' VIP – Very Important Patient – stories.
After being caught in a propane explosion inside his family's camping trailer, STARS helped Tyson to safely make the journey to the Alberta Children's Hospital.
The boy and his grandfather were injured in the fire on August 31, 2012, while the family camped near Pincher Creek, AB.
To express his gratitude, Tyson raised funds for STARS by shoveling his neighbours' walks in Okotoks.
Tyson, an avid advocate for STARS, has been featured in the 2014 calendar and in advertising for the STARS Lottery.
In September 2011, Brenda was flown by STARS herself following a nearly five-metre fall from an outdoor deck on a rural property in Central Alberta. STARS pilots landed the helicopter at a nearby schoolyard in Alder Flats and flew her the rest of the way to University of Alberta Hospital in Edmonton.
Since her mission, Brenda has continued to give back to STARS in any way she can, volunteering with the STARS Lottery and helping sell STARS calendars.
On August 19, 2010, Blake Willford set out on his Harley Davidson motorcycle to meet his wife, Amber, at their holiday trailer near Radium, BC. The setting sun and haze from the past weeks' forest fires in the area made it more difficult to see, and Blake collided with a moose just a few kilometres from Radium.
Invermere EMS personnel were soon on scene and called for STARS due to the critical nature of Blake's injuries. The ambulance carried Blake to a designated landing site where STARS picked him up and transferred him to Foothills Medical Centre.
Blake's injuries were assessed and included a concussion with several areas of bleeding within the brain, a dislocated and broken jaw, and a fractured collarbone and rib. He remained in hospital for four days and was treated for minor neurological issues over the following few months. An MRI in September 2011 showed no further health concerns.

Preserving the health of your smile is always our priority, and we do all we can to ensure this can be done through treatments that save your natural teeth. However, there are certain instances where maintaining or reestablishing proper oral health includes tooth extractions. Many reasons exist, including to eliminate severe tooth pain from an infected tooth, that necessitate tooth extractions, and we will work with you to explain your oral condition and why we would recommend an extraction to preserve your smile. With over 35 years of experience serving patients, Dr. Carl Medgaus has the skills and knowledge to safely and conveniently perform tooth extractions. Using modern techniques, he is able to perform virtually painless extractions that save your smile from infection and chronic pain, helping you achieve your best smile possible!
Many options exist to replace missing or extracted teeth, but the only permanent solution is dental implants. Unlike dental bridges or partial dentures, dental implants replace the entire tooth's structure, including the root. The implant post surgically placed into the jaw bone takes on the characteristics of a tooth root, stimulating the jaw and providing a base for a custom dental crown. In many instances, Dr. Medgaus is able to remove a tooth and immediately place an implant for a fully restored smile in less time. Having placed over 5,000 dental implants, Dr. Medgaus is highly qualified to place and restore dental implants using advanced technology and has advanced training to handle complex conditions with expertise and skill. When we have restored your implants with custom restorations, they will look and feel like natural teeth, help stabilize neighboring teeth, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile without tooth pain!

Int'l Women's Grand Prix Champions '14
Try Olympic Weightlifting Day
Sutton & Epsom Weightlifting Club > S&E WLC girls take 1st and 2nd place at 11th International Women's Grand Prix in Speyer, Germany.
S&E WLC girls take 1st and 2nd place at 11th International Women's Grand Prix in Speyer, Germany.
Sutton & Epsom Olympic Weightlifting club was victorious at the highly prestigious 11th International Women's Grand Prix held this past weekend in Speyer, Germany. Indeed not only did the club secure first place in the team competition but the 2nd string team also took second place. Incredibly both teams defeated the Irish and Welsh national teams. Stand out individual performances were delivered by reigning British champion, Evelyn Stevenson, who took the bronze medal in the 75kg class, Maria Wrosek's silver medal in the 58kg class and Eliza Wcislak's victory in the 75+kg class. Wcislak, who is only 17 and recently took the silver medal in the European Youth Championships, also received the award for overall third best lifter in the whole competition. Other team members were Samantha Balchin, Heike Niemand, Julija Lalina, Mathilde Orlandoni, Sonia Fierro, Martyna Rusak & Vicki Kerr. The event was the first venture onto the competitive stage for both Lalina and Niemand; both performed admirably, especially given the magnitude of the event
Club founder and head coach, Philip Nourse said, "This was an incredible performance by an amazing group of girls that make me so proud time after time. For a local club side that receives no funding to secure 1st and 2nd place in a competition of this magnitude, defeating national teams in the process, is an amazing achievement."
The club will now prepare for two more London Grand Prix events with Evelyn Stevenson and Alvin Ossai favourite to win the female and male series titles respectively.

Really good, but in my case I do auto calibration with a DVDO iScan Duo and I'd like to know which options to select in the Auto-Calibration panel. Just the few settings under General Settings and any options in the Options section that might apply.
Auto-calibration is simple as the computer does all the work for you - the only things you have to quickly set first before starting auto-cal are the black level, white level, and sharpness. Steps 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.3 in this guide show you how. Then you start the auto-cal and sit back and watch.
The version I use (2.5.8) has more options in Auto-Calibration (see the attachment) than the very simple one shown in the video. Are the videos based on an even earlier version? Or do you see different options depending on what processor (DVDO etc) is used?
First it gives the option to reset colour matrix calibration settings only (the default setting) or reset calibration settings to the default. I'm not clear why you'd pick one over the other.
Then there's the box for 'Use manual white/black readings for BT.1886' with a couple of boxes which looks like you can fill in your own values for those (though I couldn't, they're greyed out).
I'm calibrating a 4 year old Panasonic VT50 which seems to only have a maximum brightness of about 45cd/m2 (that's if I've measured it correctly). Nowhere near 120 cd/m2. So does that mean I would be better to enter a manual value of 45 in the white box?
I find the videos explain what options you have, but not why you would choose a particular setting (an example is the 'Selecting Options for a calibration session' video). Maybe it just requires more reading elsewhere I've read CHROMAPURE GRAYSCALE & COLOR CALIBRATION FOR DUMMIES and the Chromapure manual.
My last calibration I selected 'Reset calibration settings to the default' (thinking I don't want to do a manual greyscale calibration - I'd rather it be done for me?). I left the BT.1886 box unticked and selected Video in the 'Input Levels' box. Was that the best thing to do?
Did you not received auto-cal instructions at the time of your order? I believe there are normally some short instructions that are included with all orders. Either way, I've asked ChromaPure support to chime in here to answer your questions. Cheers!
I don't think so, but it was 5 years ago. I reckon I would've remembered that I got instructions (if not the actual instructions themselves). I think if I did they would have been along the lines of whats been said - click Auto-calibrate and stand back, rather than information about every setting you bump into along the way. I seem to have been getting a good result anyway, but it'd be nice to have more understanding of what I'm doing in case I could get an even better result.
1. Neither. We just simplified the UI for v3.
2. Some people had asked that the reset not change the grayscale because they wanted to do it manually. The v3 grayscale calibration is much better so this is no longer needed.
3. In v3 you make the gamma setting in Options, Gamma. In v2 the gamma selection is in the module.
4. If your plasma is only getting a max of 45 nits, then it is broken. Are you measuring a window or full field? What Picture mode are you in?
Your questions are the main reason we simplified the UI in v3.
Being able to do manual grayscale calibration can be very important in some applications!
You are not prevented from doing manual grayscale. The module has checkboxes for color matrix and grayscale. If you leave grayscale unchecked, then auto-cal will not touch it.
Thank you so much for this step by step guide which, I think, is convincing me to delve into the calibration process and hopefully increase my picture quality!
1) I'm a bit confused about the XRite denominations: I purchased two years ago a device called (on the box) "i1|DISPLAY PRO", so is this the EyeOne Pro ? The Display 3 ? The Display 3 Pro ?
2) I purchased it to calibrate my computers screens, even if I don't often do photo editing, but just to have the pleasure to watch my photos accurately. For now, I'm using the provided XRite software for automatic calibration. But I noticed on some laptop screens, I get a "brown" dominant, while on some others not. Is that a sign of drift or incompatibility with the screen type?
3) You state in another thread that this meter (if it is a Display 3 Pro if I understood right), due to its conception, drifts much much slower than others, so how often should it be recalibrated and how can I achieve this?
You're welcome! Glad you find it useful!
There's definitely confusion around the naming of this meter so let me clarify: The X-Rite manufacture calls the meter the "i1 Display Pro". We call this stock/unaltered meter the "Display 3". We then take this stock meter and create a special enhanced version that is more accurate on 10+ display types when used with ChromaPure. We call this enhanced meter the "Display 3 PRO". So just to be clear, the "i1 Display Pro" you can purchase at Amazon and elsewhere is not the same as the "Display 3 PRO" we sell. Those that already own an "i1 Display Pro" purchased elsewhere can send us the meter to turn it into a more accurate "Display 3 PRO". Cost to do so is $175.
The enhanced accuracy of the "Display 3 PRO" model is software based (the meter is not altered) so this accuracy only works in ChromaPure. By not altering the meter it continues to work in all other software too (though without the enhanced accuracy). In other words, you cannot buy a Display 3 PRO meter and then make use of the enhanced accuracy in other software. For this reason we also do not sell the Display 3 PRO meter by itself. The increased accuracy only works in ChromaPure.
See the section "What is the EyeOne Display 3 PRO?".
Not sure as you're not using our software. I don't know how the XRite software works. Sounds like it's not working right all the time.
It's a sealed design so it tends to drift slower.
How often it should be recalibrated depends on how it's stored / what environment it's kept in. Keep it in a cool/dry place and it'll drift slower. Some people will keep in a bag with desiccant packs to help this.
How often you recalibrate really depends on your needs and how much it's drifted/how 'off' it was in the first place. It's a bit catch-22: You need to measure it to see how much it's drifted.
4) If recalibration of the meter occurs, I understood it is a drift table to use with the software.
The calibration offsets do not work in other software, at least not automatically. If the other software you us has offsets you can enter, you can manually enter numbers from the calibration report. The Xrite software is bare bones and basic so you can't do these sorts of offsets in their software.
Different gamuts will mostly just have different targets. So use the new targets instead. (Just like when you want to do rec709 [HD] instead rec601 [SD]).
I recently upgraded from Chromapure 2 to 3 and I think I might have made a mistake because I'm not going to be able to calibrate my television.
I have a LG OLED B7. This is a 4K DV and HDR10 capable set. I don't have a disk player, I have moved across purely to streaming with the majority of my viewing in 4K DV. I have a i1 Display Pro.
Because I don't have a disk player I can't calibrate brightness, contrast and sharpness. Is there a technical reason these test patterns aren't included in Chromapure? Will they ever be? If I have understood what I have read here correctly I can't calibrate DV, can I? Because most of my viewing is in DV will this make Chromapure redundant? Is there any point me performing a calibration via the internal test patterns without DV or brightness contrast and sharpness?
Why do you believe that brightness, contrast, and sharpness test patterns are not included in ChromaPure? They are.
DV is not supported for reasons beyond our control.
Because it says so in the guide at the beginning of this thread.
This must be part of very old language that has never been updated. All you have to do is look at the list of test patterns after selecting the Built-in signal generator. One caveat: this is all dependent on the video card. We output PC levels and depend on the video card to convert the HDMI out signal to video levels, which all laptops I have ever used do.
Sorry for the confusion steve23094! The text you quoted in the guide has now been updated.
that's what i am looking for. hope to use this information in my job.
Also I'd like to share with you useful information about free programs. I guess you will surprise.

Q: Is it possible to host a static website by configuring AWS S3 buckets and Hosted zone records properly? I am newbie to AWS and  asked the above question considering the following scenario.
a) I create a S3 bucket named isthismydomain.com  and enable static website hosting on that S3 bucket.
b) Assuming I create a hosted zone in aws with the same name as isthismydomain.com and make it publicly accessible.
c) When I created the hosted zone then NS and SOA records are automatically created.
d) Now I create an 'A' record with Alias Enabled and linked to the S3 bucket isthismydomain.com created earlier.
e) Is it possible to access this domain by typing isthisdomain.com or Not?
I tried the above. Waiting for DNS records to propogate. As I am not sure what really links the registered domain to a hosted zone I have this doubt

by Vanessa Olivarez
Album: released as a single (2011)
"The One" is a single that Texas-born Vanessa Olivarez recorded shortly after reaching the Top 12 in the second season of American Idol. It's a song of unrequited love for someone who's moved on from an old relationship. In the song, Olivarez is still holding on. She sings that she wishes she could be "the one" for her former lover.
In her Songfacts interview (as a member of Granville Automatic), Olivarez said she was contacted shortly after Idol by Canadian songwriters Dave Pickell and James Collins (who also acts professionally) and invited to Canada. She met the duo there, and they all wrote "The One" in Vancouver together. They recorded it on the same day, along with two other songs, including "I'm in Love with My Best Friend's Ex" (which is the B-side to "The One").

Trump Issues Fiery Response to Cohen's Claim That He Knew About Russia Meeting
By Randy DeSoto July 27, 2018 at 11:25am
President Donald Trump accused his former attorney Michael Cohen of lying about candidate Trump knowing beforehand about a meeting between his son and a Russian attorney at Trump Tower during the 2016 presidential campaign.
CNN reported that Cohen is willing to testify regarding the matter to special counsel Robert Mueller, according to sources with whom the network spoke.
The sources indicated that Cohen does not have any physical evidence, such as audio recordings, to corroborate his claim of Trump's prior knowledge.
Further, the attorney reportedly privately testified last year before two congressional committees investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election that the president did not know about the Trump Tower meeting beforehand.
Trump denied having prior knowledge and suggested that Cohen is making up the story, perhaps at the coaching of "Crooked Hillary's" former lawyer Lanny Davis by whom he is now being represented.
Do you think Cohen is making up his story about the Trump Tower meeting?
Yes: 98% (320 Votes)
"I did NOT know of the meeting with my son, Don jr," Trump wrote. "Sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam (Taxi cabs maybe?)." An FBI raid on Cohen's office in April sought information about the New Yorker's financial dealings with the owners of a taxi cab company.
"He even retained Bill and Crooked Hillary's lawyer. Gee, I wonder if they helped him make the choice!" Trump added.
…..I did NOT know of the meeting with my son, Don jr. Sounds to me like someone is trying to make up stories in order to get himself out of an unrelated jam (Taxi cabs maybe?). He even retained Bill and Crooked Hillary's lawyer. Gee, I wonder if they helped him make the choice!
Trump once again stated (as he has many times in the past) that he did not collude with Russia, while the Democrats in fact did.
….,the only Collusion with Russia was with the Democrats, so now they are looking at my Tweets (along with 53 million other people) – the rigged Witch Hunt continues! How stupid and unfair to our Country….And so the Fake News doesn't waste my time with dumb questions, NO,….
The president's attorney Rudy Giuliani told CNN Thursday night that Cohen has "been lying all week, he's been lying for years."
"I don't see how he's got any credibility," Giuliani said.
Fox News host Chris Wallace questioned the importance of Cohen's assertion, arguing that even if he is telling the truth, it appears to have no legal ramifications.
"The worst that you could say, assuming that Cohen is telling the truth now, is that Donald Trump lied back in 2017. So what? It's not admirable. You would hope he wouldn't but it's not breaking the law, lying to the media," Wallace said on FNC's "America's Newsroom" on Friday.
"He certainly wouldn't be the first president, if he did who had done so," the Fox News personality continued. "Even the meeting itself, while it certainly doesn't seem praiseworthy that an American political candidate or their team would be meeting with a Russia lawyer to try to get dirt on Hillary Clinton that was being offered to them, it falls a long way from any hint of collusion between Trump and the Kremlin."

On Thursday, Trump praised Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz and his recently released book "The Case Against Impeaching Trump."
…called "The Case Against Impeaching Trump," which I would encourage all people with Trump Derangement Syndrome to read!
".@AlanDersh, a brilliant lawyer, who although a Liberal Democrat who probably didn't vote for me, has discussed the Witch Hunt with great clarity and in a very positive way," the president tweeted.
"He has written a new and very important book called 'The Case Against Impeaching Trump,' which I would encourage all people with Trump Derangement Syndrome to read!"

VA Lawmaker Introduces Bill to Ban Including 'Misgendering' as Child Abuse After Officials Kept Girl from Parents


A Peel teenager who was caught carrying a knife has been given "one more opportunity" to stay out of trouble.
19-year-old Billy Sumner was handed a two-year probation order after previously pleading guilty to possessing a prohibited article in public.
Police caught him with the sheathed four-inch blade after he ran away from them in Douglas on August 1st - he told officers he was carrying it to protect himself.
Sumner also admitted breaching a licensing order on June 8th and asked for two similar offences from August to be taken into consideration.
His advocate told the court it was "mindless offending" and there was no reasonable explanation for why he had the knife saying Sumner was "10/10 intoxicated at the time".
He said alcohol was at the root of his offending but Sumner had finally accepted he was an alcoholic after a "miserable state of denial".
Sentencing him Deputy High Bailiff Jayne Hughes also restarted a suspended sentence which Sumner had previously broken, imposed a two-year licensing ban and fined him £175.
She told him "You're a young man - I'm giving you the opportunity to make the most of your life".

Padres and Pedro Severino agree to Minor League deal
Posted by sultanIn SportsLast Modified 1 month ago 1 month ago
The Padres have agreed to a split deal with Catcher Pedro SeverinoRobert Murray of FanSided reports (Twitter link) According to Murray, the deal will pay him $1.95 million if he majors and includes an additional $550,000 in performance bonuses. Severino will not immediately secure a spot on the 40-man roster, according to Jeff Sanders of the San Diego Union-Tribune .
Severino, 29, has appeared in the majors in each of the last eight seasons. He broke into the Nationals as a depth player, playing in 35 combined games from 2015-17. The backstop got plenty of action over the next four seasons, which he split between the Nats and Orioles. While he struggled mightily during his final season in Washington, he posted respectable offensive numbers for a catcher during his three years in Baltimore.
Severino hit .249/.315/.397 in 938 plate appearances in 2019-21. He connected on 29 home runs with roughly league average strikeout and walk numbers. However, the Orioles did not claim him in lieu of a $3.1 million arbitration salary last season.
While partly motivated by the upcoming arrival Adli Rachman, O's decision also reflected Severino's defensive deficiencies. Public metrics peg him as a below-average quarterback. He generally rates as a worse-than-average hitter according to Statcast, which put him 10 runs short in that regard in 2021. Severino had 10 walks and 66 wild pitches in 883 innings during his final season. Orioles. That was the second-highest mark in MLB in both categories, and while the pitching staff certainly bears some of the blame, it didn't reflect particularly well on his performance as a receiver.
After being released by Baltimore, he signed with the Brewers in a $1.9 million free agent deal. Before the start of the season, Severino tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug Clomiphene. She attributed that result to an unintended side effect of fertility treatments she underwent in the Dominican Republic.
Severino was suspended for 80 games. Shortly after that ban, Milwaukee acquired Victor Karatini From the Padres to mate Omar Narvaez. The Brewers reinstated Severino in July, but he appeared in just eight games as the team's No. 3 catcher before being designated for assignment. He was not claimed on waivers and played the season at Triple-A Nashville, where he hit .308/.349/.496 with four homers over 126 plate appearances.
The right-handed hitter qualified for minor league free agency at the end of the year. He lands in San Diego, the fourth organization of his career. The Friars currently have Austin Nola, Luis Camposano and: Brett Sullivan (coincidentally part of the trade package for Caratini) as the quarterbacks on the 40-man roster. Severino slides behind that group as a depth option.

You can ignore most of my comments as some of them are outdated, but right now, my code compiles, but I don't get anything in my results box.  Also, because I'm handing this in electronically and it'll be evaluated on a server, please do not make any suggestions to install additional packages.  I figure Rhino should be enough, and as much as I hate eval, it seems to be the only way to do this, unless you guys have any other suggestions.  Thank you!

A:     buttonEquals = new JButton("=");
    topPanel.add(buttonEquals);

Should be:
    buttonEquals = new JButton("=");
    buttonEquals.addActionListener(listener);  // add the listener!
    topPanel.add(buttonEquals);

Other tips

*

*Change all instances of:
else if (e.getSource() == button9)
to
else if (e.getSource().equals(button9)) // better compare using the method

*See also this working example of using the ScriptEngine which uses some tricks to shrink around 260 LOC (e.g. the supplied code) to just 141 LOC.  It does this by using loops to create the buttons, and (mostly) by using the button's action command directly (to add to the input).

A: It is not immediately obvious to me what the problem is.  But there is one thing you are definitely doing wrong that is going to make it harder to solve the problem ... unless you change it.
catch (ScriptException e)
    {
        result.setText("Err");
        expr.setText("");
    }

This is not helpful.  If a scripting exception occurs, you are catching it, throwing away all the information about what went wrong.  At the very least, you should print or log an exception stacktrace somewhere.


Sorry this took so long to get up here on the site! Here's a list of the boats that were at the boatyard on June 10 for the North Coast Chapter of the Antique & Classic Boat Society's Annual Season Kick-Off Rendezvous.
Top left: 1947 Higgins Sedan Cruiser (docks at Moes Marine). This boat has a long history with our family that you can read on this post.
Bottom right: 1959 Chris Craft 17′ SkiTow "First Date". This boat has been in the family since the day it was purchased in Alpeena, MI. The current owners had their first date on the boat which of course explains the namesake!
Top left: 1967 26′ Lyman Hardtop (docks at Moes Marine). The owner has recently completed a major restoration of the boat. We removed and installed the new decks and the owner continued the project from there by staining, sealing, varnishing and caulking the decks.

KG 76 bomb Hawkinge
Monday 12th August 1940 17:30
At Hawkinge the personnel on the base are taken by surprise as the Do 17s (KG 2 and KG 76) and Bf 110s (EprGr 210) come in over Folkestone at medium height and the AA crews aren't able to man their guns - with the exception of two Hisapnios.
Number three hanger at Hawkinge receives direct hits and the iron doors come off their runners killing one airman and two civilian employees - Brisley and McCaister. Inside the hanger two Spitfires under repair were wrecked and two others seriously damaged. Four airmen are killed and six seriously wounded.
The workshops, clothing store and two married quarters were destroyed and the main store was on fire and the ammunition there was exploding.
Luftwaffe records state that Hawkinge was attacked in two waves, with 280 110-lb bombs being dropped first, followed by 16 1100-lb and eight 551-lb bombs.
64 Sqn's Spitfres engaged the Do 17s over Hawkinge and remarked on the lack of AA fire. American PO Donahue bailed out of his burning Spitfire over Sellinge.
Hurricanes from 32 Sqn returning to the airfield to refuel have to negotiate the 28 craters on the landing field. Flt. Lt. Michael Crossley requests permission to land, the response from the controller being "Hello Jacko Red Leader. We've had a spot of bother here. Permission to pancake granted. Good Luck." Sgt. Lacey's undercarriage collapses and F/Lt Gibson's aircraft ends up on it's nose. PO Barton opts to crash-land in a nearby field. The aircraft are refuelled and returned to Biggin Hill.
Firemen from Folkestone arrive to help out at the airfield. Section Leader R. R. Fry is accompanied by his team of Bill Willis, Percy Sutton, Ted Beeching, George Rumsey and George Kelly are fighting the multiple blazes at No 3 hanger where saving the aircraft isn't possible.
49 MU lost a number of vehicels, including a Ford V8 staff car and a Commer low-loader.
Fry said of the incident:
A chaotic scene greeted our arrival. There were fires in several places. The water tower, supplying pressure for the hydrants, had been holed by splinters in may places and water cascaded from it, reducing our mains supply to a trickle as we watched.
The main priority was getting the landing field operational and soldiers, airmen and civilians worked through the night filling in craters, sustained by a mobile canteen serving tea and sandwiches.

Hawkinge August 1940
12th WEATHER. fine. The I.G. of the R.A.F, Sir E.A LUDLOW-HEWITT, K.C.B., C.M.G., D.S.O., M.C. inspected the Station. An Enemy Bombing attack by J.U. 88's against the Station was carried out at 17.30 hours and lasted for approximately 10 minutes. One hanger, No. 3, was almost completely wrecked whilst on other, No. 5, was partially wrecked. A number of Bombs of heavy caliber, including incendiary, were dropped. The aerodrome and buildings were machine-gunned during the attack. The main stores were partly damaged by fire, the clothing store almost completely. The fire was quickly brought under control by R.A.F. personnel aided by local A.F.S. The Station Workshops were wrecked. Two houses in the Airmen's Married Quarters , occupied by airmen, were destroyed. Twenty-eight craters were made on the aerodrome, the largest being 76' x 72' x 28' deep, and the smallest 10' x 10' x 8' deep, but the aerodrome was not rendered completely unserviceable. Repairs to the surface were immediately commenced by the R.E.s. already attached for such work. Ground Defenses were surprised and no guns, except two HISPANO were fired. The altitude of the attacking aircraft was such that it was impractical for the P.A.C.U. to be brought into action. Two civilians, MR. BRISLEY and MR. CAISTER, employed by contractors of the Works Directorate, were killed and three airmen, CORPORAL Mc. COLL attached from R.A.F. Station, YEADON, A.C.2. SYMES attached from R.A.F. Station, KENLEY, and A.C.1. LANGDON of R.A.F. Station, HAWKINGE, were killed. Six airmen received severe injuries and were admitted to the KENT and CANTERBURY HOSPITAL, CANTERBURY. TheCasulaties occurred to personnel employed in No 3 hanger. Two SPITFIRE aircraft, under repair, were seriously damaged, whilst one or two others were struck by splinters. The two non-operational aircraft on charge were damaged but repairable. P.O. N.G. DURHAM reporting on posting from R.A.F. Station, WICK for duty at A.M.E.S., DOVER. F.O. J.D. GABB and F.O. J.H. READ reported on posting for operations room duties.
AIR RAID WARNINGS.
RED 08.35, WHITE 09.25, RED 11.38, WHITE 12.37, RED 23.37, WHITE 23.59
The identification of the attackers as Ju 88s seems incorrect.
