Description: The year is 1782 and the British citizens of Gibraltar are suffering, badly! Since 1779 their town lay under siege by a combined army form France and Spain, trying to kick the Brits out. Food shortages, dreadful diseases and incoming cannon balls constantly plague the citizens and soldiers of Gibraltar. The besieging armies on the other end however had happily dug in, in such a way that they were out of reach for the British guns. To smite their foes and break the siege, the British had to find a way to place their cannons in such a position that they could strike terror into the French and Spanish ranks.
Sergeant-Mayor Ince, being the clever chap that he was, put forward the idea to excavate galleries in the large rock which comprises most of Gibraltar, so that guns could be placed on positions high in the rock overlooking the enemy. This provided a perfect striking position, which was at the same time totally protected against incoming enemy fire. This innovative idea helped to end the Siege in 1783, with Gibraltar still firmly in British hands.
The Great Siege Tunnels museum is composed of all the galleries and tunnels which were dug out during the Great Siege. Not only can you walk through the original tunnels and enjoy the splendid views provided by the gun positions, you'll also come across a lot of life-like dioramas. They depict scenes of the digging-process involved in creating the tunnels, the calibration of the gun positions and the firing of the guns amidst the fog of war! You really get a sense of what it must have been to live and work there during the siege. A compliment has to be made for the Spanish translations which accompany the various displays, you won't see it the other way round at the opposite part of the border!
If you're in Gibraltar, make sure to visit the Great Siege Tunnels. If you've got some time left, also visit the three museums a bit further down Willis's Road: Moorish Castle / A City Under Siege Exhibition / Military Heritage Centre.
The characteristic entrance to the tunnels which will lead you further into The Rock.
As it was 'the good old days', real tunnelling equipment wasn't available and the engineers dug the tunnels using dynamite and lots and lots of blood, sweat and hand labour.
One of the gun positions facing Spain.
Food rations had to be strict during the siege. At this picture you see all the food a man had to live on during an entire week of hard labour!
A small section of the tunnels.
Calibrating the exact gun position was a difficult job.
Eighteenth century soldiers giving their best to fire shot upon shot into the ranks of the enemy. With all the smoke and the ill ventilation it was hard work.
Modern soldiers at work in the tunnels.
View from the entrance of the Siege Tunnels towards Spain. At the front is the airstrip of Gibraltar enclosed by sea at both sides (must be one of the hardest runways to handle!), at the back you see the Spanish border town La Linea.

Okay, then, drop the knowledge on us. Point us to some statistics comparing the US with Yemen or other countries in the Middle East or wherever you want.
Why you choose to contest this is beyond me (unless of course you voted for Bush, are a member of the NRA, and believe we should be occupying Iraq).
Wrong on all three counts, but if we can just generalize and make assumptions about people based on one conversation, I'm going to say that you can't form lasting relationships with people, you watch The Price Is Right on a daily basis, and you think ketchup should be considered a vegetable.

All we ever see and hear from supporters of gun ownership are words, words, words. And still the mass murders continue. Over and over and over.
I find it funny that "conservatives" and other supporters of private gun ownership (who love accusing "liberals" of having points of view driven by intellectual idealism), fall back on intellectual arguments and circular logic (if the good guys don't have guns, the bad guys will have more, so the good guys need to stock up...) whenever the issue of gun control comes up (usually after yet another mass murder occurs).
Facts are facts. The USA is the world's murder capital, with hand guns and assault weapons leading the way.
Enough words and excuses. It's time to grow up America.
1) Institute national health insurance
2) Ban ALL private firearms (sure - recall' em all, if you ask me!)
3) Join the 21st century. Seriously, look around!

Well, I don't watch Fox news networks, and CNN is totally biased, even though these news programs would support my points on the gun problem in the USA. I watch a lot of foreign news programs and read a good amount of non-biased publications, and some websites like HRW among many others. None of these sources have any problems showing the absolute horrors that are happening in every corner of the world, including their own so I don't buy the claim that these things happen and don't get reported on. It's just that it doesn't dominate the news for weeks like it does in the US.
If you're really interested then do some research on your own, as there are plenty of studies done on gun related violence in this country compared to others. Take Canada for example - just as many gun owners but only a fraction (under 50 per year) of murders committed with firearms. There are very few places on Earth where you can buy a handgun off a kid in your school like you can in certain parts of the USA.
When you make statements about Russia not even being partially responsible for guns in the middle east, and your defense of the situation in the USA regarding the frequency of random public shootings compared to other countries, it makes you look like you're not paying attention to what is going on in the world. I'm not generalizing and making assumptions (the Bush comment was a joke), but the info is out there for anybody that feels like finding it.

How would that work? Would you take away the guns that people already own?
Would you just stop all future sales of guns? Would sporting guns (hunting rifles, shotguns, and target pistols) be included in the ban?
Would this entail an amendment to the constitution or do you read the Second Amendment to be a right to have armed militia only?
I am not busting your chops, just curious about the last statement and how you see it's implications.
We did after an incident in Scotland. You had to register your gun if you used it for working purposes (game keeping). Other than that, they were illegal and you had to hand them in.
Using the constitution really weirds me out, as it was relevent when it was drawn up, now, not so much.

a man was beaten so badly for asking some kids to stop pissing in his garden he needed like 120 stitches to his face,
three under 17's were commited for murder (one extra commited for filming it on her phone)
a girl died from a happy slapping incident
a kid was shot walking down the street by strangers
the uk is becoming a scary place beer is now cheaper than bottled water
not as many guns as you but we are getting there

That reminds of me of traveling in Russia in the good old days of Yeltsin (early 90's). Vodka was around the same price as bottled water. Downed a bottle or two with some other travelers and a Lonely Planet writer.

I think the terrible tragedy at NIU, like many similar ones, was the result of an individual's long-standing mental illness. This man evidently had a history of hurting himself and others over many years and he was reportedly not being adequately treated recently.
While it is tempting to blame society, guns, drugs, the media, etc., events like this happen in all times and places. Any so-called statistics supposedly proving "reasons" should be viewed with extreme skepticism.
yiminy, Feb 16, 2008
I read in the paper today that there have been 5 school shootings in the last week. Stats can be fudged, but that one is pretty scary...
A number of shootings, (murders, suicides, whatever) may be more or less accurate based on completeness of reporting, time interval studied, population, demographics and many other factors. Even the most accurate numbers, however, do not indicate causality.
Nicky G Toy Prince
Maybe as a handgun owner I'm a little biased, but some of the anti-gun rantings in this thread strike me as being off-base. Most guns that are used by gangs, insane kids, etc. are purchased illegally. End of story. Making something illegal does not stop it, just look at the war on drugs. And call me nuts, but something strikes me as "off" about living in a country where only the State and its actors can be armed.
Gun ownership in Canada is high -- remember the movie Bowling for Columbine? Gun ownership does not directly equate to gun crimes. There is something else afoot in American society. Maybe the breakdown of families, good child-rearing skills, a horribly broken education system, broken healthcare system, etc.? ANd I don't mean "family" in the one mom one dad two kids kind of way, but I mean families where children spend quality time with parents, love is obvious, children are raised to be responsible, etc.
Last point. Look at just how many of these mass murders are tied to people who were recently pulled off of psychiatric medications. It's a HUGE percentage of cases. Coincidence? I doubt it. If you've ever known anybody who was abruptly taken off of their meds (or took themself off their meds) you know that it does REALLY messed up things to their minds. They turn into DIFFERENT people, and very unstable. As a culture we TREMEDOUSLY over-prescribe head-meds, usually to avoid having to deal with deeper-rooted problems. These meds can cause more problems than they solve, and again, being taken off of them abruptly can be very, very distruptive to a person's psyche. This can't be ovelooked when asking why thsi happens here so regularly.

But I believe HANDgun ownership is low. Most crimes are committed with handguns, not hunting rifles.
I can't think of a single reason for a civilian to own a handgun - handguns are meant to be used against people.
However, you're correct that making ownership illegal wouldn't solve any of our problems - not unless you could assure the confiscation of ALL handguns. Which would be impossible. However, if this COULD be done I would be all for it. Removing all handguns wouldn't eliminate these problems, but it would drastically reduce them.

So there's a mystical property of handguns that leads to them somehow manipulating their owners into committing acts of violence? Sorry, I don't buy it. Maybe it just so happens that the gun black market tends to involve handguns primarily, people who are looking to commit these kinds of acts don't buy their guns legitimately, so they buy what's available. Also, there are definitely many crimes committed with shotguns, rifles, knives, baseball bats, fists, broken bottles, etc. I don't think they tend to be as publicized.
If someone was going to go nuts, i'd rather they went nuts where they couldn't get hold of guns.
hillsy11 Post Pimp
"Maybe it just so happens..."? So, you're saying it's all just coincidence? You're fooling yourself, then. It's not much of a black market, when countless gun shops DON'T practice responsible sales, and you just walk in and buy. And the penalty they get is minimal. You just don't have to go very far to get an "illegitimate" handgun.

mmmm. I own 9 handguns,love going to tha range and shooting at least once a week,I also carry one (legally) every time I step out of the house.
People's right to bear arms will never be taken away in the USA,could you imagine what would happen if the government ever tried this! Removing guns from society will not stop people from killing people..Bad people that want to do bad thing's are going to do them...This is the way it is and alway's will be..I know it sucks but it's been this way since the start of time..
Stone, Feb 16, 2008
These particular kinds of crimes are SO rare though, they really are. We live in a country of almost 300 MILLION people (USA I'm talking about.) A handful of school shootings a year does not an epidemic make -- the mass media has a way of accentuating certain stories that, guess what - draw viewers. Do you know how many people die in car accidents every year in the USA? Die of overdosing on over the counter medicines? I could go on and on. This is a terrible, yet REALLY RARE kind of event, and thinking that getting rid of SOME people having guns (of course not the authorities, they should always be armed!) is going to make a marked difference is just not based in reality. I've seen many statistics that show violent gun crimes are LOWER in areas where more people own guns. Go look it up, don't be prejudiced, do the research. Reality does not correlate with the mass media view of reality.
But 'nuff said, I will continue to snuggle with my 9mm at night. Heheh I jest, I jest. But the good thing about this debate is, well, if it's only people who don't own guns who want all the guns taken away, it's not very likely to happen now, is it?
Just as an aside, you might want to ask some cops if they feel confiscating all handguns from lawful gun owners is a good idea. Something tells me they will laugh at the idea...
But the good thing about this debate is, well, if it's only people who don't own guns who want all the guns taken away, it's not very likely to happen now, is it?
You miss my point. the "black market" isn't as "black" as you think. I'm talking about gun shops following the law. Simple as that. If they don't, crack down. HARD. But that isn't being done. I'm a realist...as much as I would like to see your handguns taken away, it'll never happen, so the least that can be done are laws being enforced.
So there's a mystical property of handguns that leads to them somehow manipulating their owners into committing acts of violence? Sorry, I don't buy it.
Hand guns are easier to conceal/transport than a rifle. They're easier to use in close-range situations (against humans) than a rifle. I would assume they generally carry more rounds than a rifle, but I don't know if that's true. All of these reasons are why they're used more often to commit crimes. You don't see people walking into 7-11 with a 30ought to hold the place up - they do it with a hand gun. I'm not saying that handguns are the CAUSE of violence/crime - but that it's EASIER to use a handgun than a rifle to commit a crime.
Again, handguns were created to be used against people. Whereas a rifle has the potential to serve a purpose by putting food on your plate or protecting a herd from predators. If we could magically destroy every handgun in the world we'd live in a slightly better place. I'd rather have a knife pulled on me than a gun (I've had both, and a gun is WAY scarier).
I don't begrudge responsible people owning guns. I think it'd be fun to go to a shooting range. But I think giving up shooting ranges in exchange for no one having handguns is a very small price to pay. Take up darts instead.
Monkey Line of Credit
The problem is I would like to give up NOTHING. I love freedom and liberty. I like them ALL and I except ALL of their risks. I want guns, drugs, terrorists, and even the possibility that Jesus don't love me! I want it all, including the possiblity that I might fail, be wrong, hurt myself, etc.
The problems of society aren't necessarily solved by taking away choices. There is no need to throw babies out with bath water in the name of safety, and security, IMO. I want to be unsafe and insecure as long as I can make choices about my own situation. Autonomy is king. But that is just MY feelings.
Monkey, Feb 16, 2008
It probably seems like a very small price to pay when it's someone other than you paying it.
backtrack S7 Royalty
You both have incredibly valid points.
I think it's insane to think that the US would ever give up the right to bear arms, and in all honesty, if they did, I'd be very very dubious of the intentions behind that, regardless of my view on guns, hand or otherwise.
At the end of the day, the US is caught up in a blame culture. That is undeniable, it is a litigious society. I order coffee from you, I spill it on me, I sue you for not telling me it's hot. On the other hand, if it's too cold, I will sue you for false advertisement.
It is a lose/lose situation.
At some point, someone over there needs to realise this.
The whole kids going to school and shooting other kids and all the excuses/reasons/rationalisations for that are completely ignoring the root cause. Which as far as I am aware/concerned, is refusal to accept responsibility for ones actions, just look at the credit crisis.
"well the banks shouldn't have lent me the money"
No, they shouldn't have!
But then you shouldn't have accepted it.
The government shouldn't allow guns on the street, maybe... But you should take care of your kids and maybe they wouldn't crack and kill each other.
Stop shifting blame. And accept the fallout.
Ultimately there are a million and one sides to this debate, it is not cut and dry.
Unlike abortion...

On November 12, at a Visual Studio event in New York City and online, Microsoft announced that it would be open sourcing the full server-side .NET Core stack and would be enabling it to run cross-platform. Microsoft also announced that a new Visual Studio Community edition (equivalent in most respects to Visual Studio Professional) was being made available as a free download to individual developers, students, open source contributors, and small development teams. With these announcements, Microsoft has transformed itself in no small measure. The .NET ecosystem will transform as well.
Open source .NET isn't new. The Mono Project created its own open source implementation of .NET for Linux, dating all the way back to when Microsoft launched .NET. Xamarin sponsors that project now, and its predecessor organization within Novell did so before. A decade ago, Microsoft was wary of the Mono Project. Now it is working with Xamarin to make an open source, server-side .NET Core stack that is first-party developed and supported, and will run on both Linux and Mac OS. Plus, virtually anyone who might now be drawn to .NET and was not before will be qualified to use the new free Visual Studio Community edition.
The reason these new releases and policies are important is because the developer landscape has changed, radically, since .NET first RTM'd in February of 2002. Back then, .NET was being pushed as an Enterprise development platform to compete with Java Enterprise Edition. Today, Java EE and .NET are more allied than opposed; contemporary alternatives include languages like Node.js, PHP, Python, Objective C, Ruby and Scala. Moreover, a lot of the code written in those languages is running on Linux and being developed on Macs.
If Microsoft wants to be relevant, it has to go where today's developers are. If Microsoft wants to be competitive, it needs to stop forcing Enterprise licensing on open source contributors and solo mobile developers. Yes, programs like BizSpark and DreamSpark provide Microsoft tools free for several years. But BizSpark has historically had barriers to entry. And a deadline for free use of software hangs over a developer's head much more than an open source license does.
The Spark programs offered deterrents and disincentives when the opposite was needed. Visual Studio Community, the open sourcing of .NET and the ability to run it on Linux and Mac OS beckons developers into the .NET tent. That wins hands-down over merely allowing developers entry to the tent and keeping them close to the exit.
The exciting thing about all of this is that Microsoft truly gets it. This wasn't a random decision with a coincidentally good outcome. Instead, the company, its developer division and its Corporate VP for Enterprise and Cloud saw how the developer landscape had changed, confronted that change honestly, and made bold policy changes in response.
Gone is the bubble, the tone deafness and, yes, the arrogance, that for so long has led Microsoft to make decisions that are out of touch and doomed to failure. Gone also, at least for now, is the low morale that pervaded much of Microsoft's rank and file.
There is a new optimism on the Redmond campus, and there are new successes to measure. Industry support for Azure is significantly on the rise, Surface Pro 3 is making waves and Microsoft Band was a stealthy hit; even sales of Xbox One appear to be up. People in the industry -- and by that I mean people outside the Microsoft orbit that I encounter in my work -- are suggesting out loud that Microsoft is "back."
But Microsoft can't get cocky or oversimplify to itself what's going on. Yes, the change in CEO has contributed to this latest wave of momentum, but scapegoating the high-level execs who have left won't lead to improvement. Open sourcing .NET is a great step, but there are other pieces of the stack, including the client side and PowerShell, that are still proprietary and should likely be added to the open source manifest.
Reaching out to other development communities is smart, but Microsoft still needs to show more love and support to the core .NET community. That group's faith was shaken over the deprecation of Silverlight and the shift to WinRT; prioritizing new communities to the exclusion of supporting the base would be a huge mistake.
And then there's revenue. Open sourcing .NET and moving to the cloud is the right way forward, but if Microsoft can't monetize the new model, it will hardly have found Utopia. In general, Microsoft has -- even if belatedly -- taken bold steps, but shrewd execution has to follow. That's hard work. For it to be successful, Microsoft needs our encouragement and support. It also needs our continued honesty and constructive criticism, and it must be receptive to it.

Backers of Pebble, the innovative Kickstarted E-Ink smartwatch that is months behind its shipping date, just got a further dose of bad news. The $10,000,000-earning watch's creators just posted a holiday e-card on their Kickstarter page stating they won't be shipping by Christmas.
The company's card comes at the end of a longer status update from the aspiring watchmakers, after news about new color options and SMS/iPhone capabilities. Designed with cheery holiday colors and featuring a poem written with a lighthearted tone, the image may have sent initial hope to its over 68,000 backers. But in its fourth line, the card dashes any excitement with an announcement of yet another delay for the eagerly anticipated watch.
Below the image, Pebble's team gives a slightly more official notification of the setback.
Unfortunately we will not be able to ship out Pebble in time for the holidays. As a tiny act of compensation, we'd like to offer you this little holiday card. I know it's not a Pebble, but I do hope that you can tell from these updates that we're quickly moving towards the moment when Pebble will finally be on your wrist.
It's another black mark for one of the highest-grossing campaigns in Kickstarter history. Since completing with over $10 million in May of this year, hopeful backers have yet to see their products. An initial promise to ship in September passed without fulfillment; reports in October stated that Pebble's lead designer was "stuck in Asia" to work with manufacturers on getting the watch completed and shipped.
And now, they're offering a printable card as a holiday peace offering. Comments stemming from the announcement range from understanding to downright angry.
No information on a new deadline has been released.
You may not have your Pebble by Christmas, but you can enjoy looking at the final color choices.

Komen betrayed from within, Part II: The coincidences
Yesterday I described all the players who doomed Susan G. Komen for the Cure from within to lose� against Planned Parenthood's assault when it tried to defund the abortion giant.
Today I will list "coincidences" from Karen Handel's book, Planned Bullyhood, and also from my interview with her, that give evidence of the Trojan Horse.
December 8, 2011:� Komen places a conference call about its decision to defund Planned Parenthood with its public relations representative from SKDKnickerbocker, Hilary Rosen.
December 16, 2011: Komen president Liz Thompson speaks to Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards by phone, but Richards already knows everything.
First week of January 2012:� A brief snippet about Komen ending PP grants appears on a radio show out of Ohio. Komen has no idea where it came from.� (JLS note: I kind of know where it came from. There was a pro-lifer on the Komen board who tipped Life Decisions International off, and LDI went public before getting a fierce call from the source telling LDI to unplug the news, that the situation was very dicey. Read more here and here.) Handel speaks by phone with Rosen, asking for an update.� Rosen says it appears PP is going to just let things go because the organization has other issues.� This turns out to either be a lie or an epic fail on Rosen's part to properly perform her job as liaison between Komen and PP.
January 23, 2012: Komen receives a call that Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, saying she needs to speak with Nancy Brinker "urgently – that day if possible." She then fails to follow-up and strangely reschedules the "urgent" call for one week later – January 30.
January 30, 2012: Komen gets a bombshell. An Associated Press reporter contacts Komen and says he is writing a story on Komen and Planned Parenthood. Meanwhile, Rosen and other reps from SKD have coincidentally come to the office without Handel's knowledge. Handel asks Rosen if she thinks PP is going to "DEFCON 4." "Oh no," is Rosen's response, "I don't think this is any big deal." Meanwhile, the Wasserman Schultz call happens, and she knows about everything "in great detail… somehow… privy to what had been going on within our organization," writes Handel. Brinker says the call got "extremely ugly" with Wasserman Schultz telling her Komen would "regret the decision."
January 31, 2012: The infamous Associated Press story comes out. As I described in this post, Planned Parenthood had tweets and Facebook updates ready to launch. Also, within 48 hours PP lobbyists had gathered signatures of 26 senators on a letter to Komen.
Rosen is absolutely nowhere to be found after January 30. According to Handel she didn't even attend the murder board session to prep Brinker for her disastrous interview with Andrea Mitchell.
According to Handel in our interview, "This is unconfirmed but I heard from several sources that at some point on February 2, I believe after the Mitchell interview, Rosen called and said she was resigning the account because she just couldn't take it anymore. That would explain how she felt she could send that congratulatory tweet the following day," which was positively scandalous in light of her role at Komen…
Congrats to Susan G. Komen for the Curesgk.mn/w7MEZR. No room for politics in fighting cancer.

STUDY: Female GOP Politicians Look More Feminine
http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/inside-politics/2012/sep/27/study-female-gop-politicians-look-more-feminine/
If a new academic study is to be believed, Republican women politicians look more feminine than their Democratic counterparts.
The study, by two UCLA researchers, found that female politicians with what are described as stereotypically feminine features tended to be Republicans, and the reverse was also true for Democratic women. GOP women rated, on average, twice as stereotypically feminine as Democrats.
In fact, the authors said the correlation was so strong that undergraduates were regularly able to guess someone's party affiliation just by the way she looks.
Let me see if I can apply some DenseGnome analysis to this article:
Female democRAT politicians, in an attempt to reject their femininity, choose to project a 'masculine' appearance. [This seems counter intuitive to feminista dogma. Even some in the homosexual�community would say these women look 'butch'. Not saying that the current Secretary of State is gender challendged, but I have always�contended�that Hillary Rodham Clinton is the strongest man in the obamateur administration.]

Celebrating the number of abortions last weekend = pro-abortion.
There ya have it folks.� Get your screenshot now so you can bring it out the next time a pro-choicer tries to say that no one is pro-abortion.

Right. Because no Republican women are "strong". I dare you to say that to Ann Coulter's face. Or mine.
But yeah, gloat about the 9,000 children killed over the weekend. I bet you'd talk about how "violent" Pro-Lifers or Christians are in the same breath. How ignorant.
Great. I'd welcome the chance to show you how wrong you are.
"xalisae, Coulter is not a woman."
And abortion supporters are always going on about how "misogynist" we are, and trying to cast themselves as being supportive of females and anti-sexist. It's hilarious how overtly hypocritical they are!
October 1st, 2012 at 1:27 pm
"Coulter is not a woman."
And here we have another great screenshot.
Meanwhile, back on topic, this just goes to show how the DNC, Planned Parenthood and many elite organizations are pracitically one in the same institution, and if anyone (even the leaders of said organization) runs afoul of the revolution, they are next in line for the show trial. I guess you can say their "long march" through most of our institutions is complete and their rule that of an iron fist.

When I click on the bottom right hand corner to resize the editing area, it makes the browser jump up making it impossible to resize the editor.
This is in the latest version of Invision Power Board which uses CKEditor however I can also reproduce it on the CKEditor demo. If you scroll down to the very bottom of the page it will move the browser up. It does not create any issues but what happens is very similar to what occurs in Invision Power Board.
I am also using Windows 64bit.
Result: whole page jumps up.
Looks to me like a duplicate of #6212 but #6212 has version set to 3.4 and this one is reproducible from CKE 3.0 and still not working even on trunk, thus I'm confirmin it.
Checked withe the latest trunk. Works fine there.

Another busy, busy week here!
On Friday I travelled to Bath - the most beautiful city, and one of my favourite places to perform as a large proportion of the audience are regulars to High Tease so there's always an amazing atmosphere!
The show was more 'Party' themed than Christmas, which worked well as I was looking forward to performing my newly re-costumed 'Shake it Doll' act - a showgirl striptease with a rock and roll edge!
Christmas dinner pre-show ** Dancing at the disco post-show!
Saturday was a rare treat for me - I was performing as part of the Flaming Feathers Burlesque Show in Bath that evening so I had the entire afternoon to myself to wander around the beautiful city, do a little more Christmas shopping and shelter from the rain in quaint coffee shops!
A hectic, yet fun Christmas Eve soon arrived - dashing around, shopping for the last few bits and bobs, running out of wrapping paper and gift-bags, wrapping and packing until I was exhausted! However a steady stream of Christmas movies (Muppet Christmas Carol and Nightmare Before Christmas are firm favourites!) kept me going all along!
It has been a truly lovely Christmas season - spent with family and dear friends, eating far, far too much delicious food and drinking far, far too much delicious booze!

Paul-Frédéric Rollet (1875–1941) was a Général who led in the Marching Regiment of the Foreign Legion RMLE, and was the 1st Inspector of the Foreign Legion, a post which he created under his intentions. Rollet accumulated 41 years of military service out of which 33 were in the Legion and also planned the 100th anniversary of the legion on Cameron day of 30 April 1931. Consequently, he was responsible for creating many of the Legion's current traditions.

Early life
He was born in Auxerre, France and was admitted to the military school at Saint-Cyr in 1894. Upon graduation, he was initially assigned to the 91st Infantry Regiment () but was later transferred to the 1st Foreign Regiment 1er RE in Sidi-bel-Abbes, Algeria.

Military career
Rollet served first in Algeria from 1899 to 1902, then in Madagascar from 1902 to 1905, prior to returning to Algeria from 1905 to 1909. Promoted to captain in March 1909, he commanded the 3rd mounted combat company of the 1st marching battalion of the 2nd Foreign Regiment, 2e R.E from 1909 to 1914.

While World War I erupted, Rollet was on leave in France. Insisting to be on the front, he was assigned to the 31st Line Infantry Regiment (), then to the 331 Infantry Regiment (). Wounded twice, he was promoted by delegation to Chef de bataillon (Commandant – Major), based on the recommendation of général Henri Joseph Eugène Gouraud. Following several victories, he was confirmed as a Chef de battalion.

On 18 May 1917 he was assigned to the Foreign Legion and became the regimental commander of the Marching Regiment of the Foreign Legion (R.M.L.E) as a Lieutenant-colonel. Under his command, the regiment covered itself with excellence during combats of Hangard-en-Santerre, La Montagnde de Paris, then in piercing the Hindenburg Line, a combat battle which would later be designated as the anniversary of the 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment 3e REI, heir to the traditions of the R.M.L.E. The regimental colors of the R.M.L.E were subsequently decorated with four new citations (with five previous citations already) as well as the double Fourragere, with colors of the Légion d'honneur and Croix de guerre.
At the end of the war of 1914–1918, he participated in campaigns in Morocco with his regiment, which would be designated as the 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment 3e REI.

Consequently, Rollet was promoted to Colonel. In 1925, he assumed command as regimental commander of the 1st Foreign Regiment 1e RE at Sidi-Bel-Abbès. He would remain until planning the 100th anniversary (the centennial) of the French Foreign Legion on Cameron day of 30 April 1931.<ref>Ces cérémonies commémoraient le centenaire de la création de la Légion étrangère, en 1831, mais furent célébrées le jour anniversaire du combat de Camerone</ref>

On 1 April 1931 Rollet assumed command tenure as the 1st Inspector of the Foreign Legion, a post which he specifically created under his intentions.

Following years of service, Rollet retired on 20 December 1935, having accumulated 41 years of military service out of which 33 years were in the Legion.

 Later life and death

In his final years of service, he dedicated his career to the organization of the modern French Foreign Legion and the realization of considerable social profits to active legionnaires as well as those on retirement. He would later pursue social donation actions in that respect after concluding his service.

Rollet died in Paris on 16 April 1941.  He was originally buried at the French Foreign Legion's Headquarters in Sidi-bel-Abbes in Algeria.  When the Legion left Algeria in 1962 his remains were one of three chosen to be reinterred at the Legion's new headquarters in Aubagne, France.

 Legacy
He is surnamed Père de la Légion'' (Father of the Legion), an honorary title. This title is reflected in his organization of Legion units, as well as the brotherhood he assimilated to his men.

Rollet made major contributions to promoting and preserving the Legion's history, traditions and mystique. The legion always maintained an institutional reputation of legendary and honorable values.

ECO MUSHROOM TOUR OF THE KHUMBU REGION IN THE HIMALAYAS
Join IMT during peak mushroom season to explore the grandeur of the Khumbu region and Sagarmatha National Park in Nepal on a unique mushroom and ecological trek to Everest Base Camp.
Nepal is a landlocked country bordered by Tibet and China to the north and India to the east, west, and south. Although it is a small country, Nepal contains the greatest variation in altitude on Earth, from the lowland plains and jungles of the Tarai in the south, to the Himalayas and Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain, in the north.
The origin of the word Himalaya comes from Sanskrit and means "Abode of Snow." As one of the most bio-diverse regions, Nepal is a treasure trove of animals, birds, medicinal plants, flowers, and fungi. Similarly, Nepal's many cultures represent over 120 distinct ethnic and linguistic groups, each contributing to a rich and fascinating kaleidoscope of spiritual practices, history, and art. Nepal's capital, Kathmandu is steeped in history, architecture, and religious significance.
IMT specializes in providing custom designed and professionally guided treks in the Himalayas of Nepal with a special focus on the ecology, mycology, and biodiversity of the Khumbu.
IMT's expeditions to the Khumbu offer a unique opportunity to trek in the world's most spectacular mountains while discovering the extraordinary world of mushrooms in the region.

"A 21-day trek through the Himalayas of Nepal, including the World Heritage Site Sagarmatha National Park. Wow! I cannot believe I finally made it there ... and I'm more amazed that I survived! The IMT trek was so special and different in many ways, from other "package" excursions, primarily because of the small group size, we were able to make side trips to see and do things not actually on the itinerary, we were able to proceed at our pace—not that of the guides' or rigid itinerary—and then got to have experiences with local people, customs, and festivals. We were invited in to homes and monasteries on several occasions. Talk about off-the-beaten-path travel! The Sherpa guides and porters that work with IMT are hand-selected and have developed very close bonds with the organizer, Richard Silber. And I have to say that the Sherpas were a very big part of what made this such a wonderful experience."

Well, since our Chiefs didn't make Superbowl 51… I had to either be a Falcons' fan or a Patriots' fan… I chose the Falcons. Turns out they played a good first half and then lost it. In fact, they kind of blew it all to hell…. But even the second half of the game was pretty good really.
We happened to be a house full of germs. A lot of us… I think there were like 20 of us or something… were either a) sick or b) the next week wound up sick. If you weren't there… maybe that's a good thing… lol.
The thing is though, we know how to have fun! And if there is food, they will come! We had Bacon bites, spinach dip, salsa, sliders, tacos, fruit, vegetables, cheesecake, shrimp, and so much more. Like I said, if there's food, they will come.
The outcome of the game was 34-28. Lady Gaga did a superb halftime show. A lot of people were wanting to boycott the halftime show because Lady Gaga isn't afraid to make political statements and there are so many mixed reviews on if her show was political or not. I'm siding with the not. There were a bunch of people (I read a lot of reviews) who were upset she didn't make more of a political statement so they are going to boycott her now. Who knows… maybe the NFL made her sign a contract that said if she pulled anything she wouldn't get paid. Remember back in like 2003 or whatever when there was the nip slip on Janet Jackson. Yeah… for years after that they really watched who they allowed to perform the halftime show. I'm just saying… with the heightened political state of our country, maybe the NFL made her sign something that she wouldn't pull anything.
I've been in the Houston stadium. I didn't realize that the roof opened up though… how cool is that? And that leap off the roof… sweet!
Luke Bryan did an awesome rendition of the Star Spangled Banner. I might like Luke Bryan, not all people do, but his a cappella version was fantastic.
And that was our Superbowl 51 party. Bring on the 2017 NFL Season! Sorry, I'm not a baseball fan, although I do love going to a good baseball game.

North Carolina Becomes Ninth State to Explore Virgin Hyperloop One Technology
Virgin Hyperloop One (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
Cary, North Carolina, July 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Today, North Carolina's Regional Transportation Alliance (RTA) – the voice of the regional business community on transportation – kicked off an exploration of hyperloop as a potential regional and inter-city transportation platform. A consortium of partners at the 2019 RTA breakfast event, including AECOM and Virgin Hyperloop One, discussed findings and implications of a pre-feasibility hyperloop analysis for the Triangle. The report identified example hyperloop corridors that could seamlessly connect Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and RDU International Airport near the Research Triangle Park, and create a linchpin for a future hyperloop network across the southeastern U.S. The N.C. Department of Transportation also participated in today's discussion."North Carolina Research Triangle -- home to some of the country's top companies, universities and healthcare centers -- is an absolute prime location to examine hyperloop technology," said Jay Walder, CEO of Virgin Hyperloop One, the only hyperloop company in the world to successfully test its hyperloop technology at scale. "There is a tremendous opportunity to further connect these regional anchors and link North Carolina's capital area with markets to the south and the northeast using a more efficient, sustainable, and reliable form of passenger and cargo transportation. It's incredibly energizing the see North Carolina and the Triangle region take this important step forward in amplifying its vision for what 21st-century transportation can be."According to the pre-feasibility study, carried out by AECOM, the introduction of a hyperloop system alongside area freeways including I-40 and NC 147 could generate significant economic and quality of life advantages for the region and for North Carolina, reducing travel time and improving road safety.Research Triangle hyperloop portal (station) access points might include:
-- Downtown Raleigh/North Carolina State University area -- Downtown Durham/Duke University area -- Downtown Chapel Hill/University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill area -- Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU)/Research Triangle Park area
"The Research Triangle area is uniquely positioned from a technology focus, spatial layout, and favorable mid-east coast location to benefit from a hyperloop travel solution that could quickly link America's R&D cities of Raleigh and Durham with each other and with neighboring regions in the southeast and mid-Atlantic," said Joe Milazzo II, PE, Executive Director, Regional Transportation Alliance.Other economic benefits to be considered include travel time reliability, direct linkages to the best-connected medium hub airport in North America, improved logistics for cargo shipments, and the effects of cities and economic centers connected by the system to have far more synergy by being connected within minutes. Interconnections with a proposed regional bus rapid transit network serving Research Triangle area counties and the existing passenger rail network would further leverage potential benefits of and connections to the system.Virgin Hyperloop One's technology proposes to transport passengers and goods at speeds comparable to airlines and enable regional cities to connect just as local city subways connect neighborhoods. Virgin Hyperloop One's visionary technology features depressurized tubes that carry on-demand passenger or cargo "pods" at speeds up to 670 miles per hour, powered by magnetic-levitation. Its proprietary depressurized tube infrastructure essentially eliminates the impacts of air-drag and friction, requiring less energy and cost to operate the system and allowing travel to occur at exceptionally high speeds. Virgin Hyperloop One is the only hyperloop company with an at-scale test track, known as "DevLoop." Located outside of Las Vegas in Nevada, Virgin Hyperloop One has completed hundreds of test runs to date.About Virgin Hyperloop OneVirgin Hyperloop One is the only company in the world that has successfully tested its hyperloop technology at scale, launching the first new mode of mass transportation in over 100 years. The company successfully operated a full-scale hyperloop vehicle using electric propulsion and electromagnetic levitation under near-vacuum conditions, realizing a fundamentally new form of transportation that is faster, safer, cheaper, and more sustainable than existing modes. The company is now working with governments, partners, and investors around the world to make hyperloop a reality in years, not decades. They currently have projects underway in Missouri, Texas, Colorado, the Midwest, India, and the UAE. Learn more about Virgin Hyperloop One's technology, vision, and ongoing projects here.

We're mourning the loss of Ben Tabatchnick, CEO of Tabatchnick Fine Foods who passed away on November 16th 2014. Ben, an original founder of City Harvest, had been donating to Holy Apostles since the mid-1980s when he and his wife Rita first volunteered.
In 2012, Ben and Rita rekindled our old relationship and committed to providing soup to our guests as a way of giving back to the community. Since April 2012, they have donated over 500 gallons of Tabatchnick soup every week to feed hungry New Yorkers.
Ben was an entrepreneur who saw any challenge as an opportunity, a loving father and husband and someone who strongly believed that no one should go hungry. He believed strongly in the Jewish concept of Tikkum Olam, which means to repair the world and make it a better place. We will miss him and are grateful to Tabatchnick Fine Foods for their ongoing support of our work.
The Tabatchnick family has elected Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen as the charity for any donations to be made in Ben's honor and these can be made by clicking here.

Biografia
Nasce a New York da una famiglia ebrea formatasi culturalmente in Europa: il padre è medico e la madre ha studiato alla Bauhaus; ella, in seguito alla morte del marito, si trasferisce in Israele. Kramer studia filosofia e storia allo Swarthmore College e all'Università di Stanford. Nel 1963 si stabilisce per quasi un anno in America Latina con un accredito di giornalista e, successivamente, va a Newark, dove lavora ad un progetto di comunità nei quartieri neri. Nel 1965 realizza il suo primo film: FALN, nel quale è autore dei commenti delle immagini girate dai guerriglieri venezuelani montate da un suo amico in clandestinità e di conseguenza i nomi degli autori non compaiono.

Dirige il suo primo film da regista nel 1966: In the Country, nel quale racconta del protagonista che si sta allontanando dal movimento della nuova sinistra americana; nello stesso anno, Kramer lascia Newark per partire verso Bratislava, dove si tiene il primo meeting tra americani e Viet Cong. Prima di tornare a New York va in Italia e a Parigi, dove conosce, tra gli altri, Bernardo Bertolucci. Tornato in America, contribuisce alla nascita di Newsreel: un gruppo di filmakers che si proponevano di realizzare film su eventi e avvenimenti legati alle lotte di quegli anni, per definire una realtà diversa da quella proposta dai mass media.

In questo periodo realizza The Edge e successivamente Ice nel quale, mescolando fiction e falsi documentari in stile Newsreel, parla di un futuro distopico in cui un gruppo rivoluzionario lotta contro un regime fascista negli Stati Uniti. In Vietnam, realizza il film People's war per Newsreel, che in seguito lascia per dedicarsi a diverse attività politiche.

Nel 1975 realizza Milestones: un grande affresco sull'autunno del movimento americano; il film, paragonato a Nashville, riscuote successo a Cannes, dove viene proiettato il giorno della presa di Saigon. Vissuto per un periodo in Portogallo durante la rivoluzione, realizza il film Scenes from the class struggle in Portugal. Tornato in America trova il movimento in fase di ripiegamento, profondamente settario e disperso in vari gruppuscoli e decide di lavorare come camionista e, successivamente, insegna cinema al San Francisco State.

A partire dal 1979 si stabilisce in Francia dove lavora a Guns. In seguito realizza altre opere sia in video che su pellicola. Tra queste Notre Nazi del 1984 e Doc's Kingdom del 1987, girato in Portogallo, storia di un medico americano, Doc, che ha lasciato il suo paese da molti anni; il film è una riflessione sull'esilio e uno dei protagonisti è interpretato da Vincent Gallo. Nel 1981 partecipa come sceneggiatore e attore al film di Wim Wenders: Lo stato delle cose. Nel 1989 ritorna in America per realizzare Route One/Usa, un film di più di quattro ore in cui, rinnovando e reinventando la nozione di documentario, racconta delle persone incontrate da Doc (già protagonista in Doc's Kingdom) nel viaggio dal Maine fino in Florida lungo la famosa strada.

Tra le altre sue opere sono da ricordare Point de départ, realizzato nel 1992 in Vietnam, dove è tornato per supervisionare un programma per cineasti locali; questo film è l'occasione per riflettere sul paese e su ciò che è cambiato dai tempi del suo primo film People's war. Nel 1993 realizza due video, ciascuno di 7 minuti, su due ciclisti americani: Greg LeMond e Andrew Hampsten. Walk the Walk è uno dei suoi ultimi film, dove lavora ancora al confine tra documentario e film di finzione e nel quale ci si ritrova nei luoghi di origine della sua famiglia: Odessa, la Polonia e l'Ucraina. Muore nel 1999 a Rouen.

It is official, the day set aside to give thanksgiving is over. Turkey has been eaten and potatoes mashed. Pies and cakes have been devoured causing many to sit back in easy chairs unable to move in that gluttony has taken over thanksgiving allowing only for deep breathing and occasional sighs of relief as the mounds of food finally settle within the bodies of many.
Now, there is no suggestion here that there should be no enjoyment of things God has provided for us. But the real attitude of Thanksgiving has little to do with the plenteous foods now being stored in refrigerators and freezers. In fact I would venture to say that attitudes of thanksgiving actually fall short of the meals that we eat.
Let me explain. When I woke this morning it was more than evident that I did not wake under my own power. In fact I am sadly reminded of a gentleman who lived across the street from me. You see he went to the hospital for a kidney transplant. While I understand the surgery was initially a success things began to go wrong. Things went so bad medically that this gentleman crossed into eternity this past Tuesday. You see, I have much to be thankful for.
Not only did I rise this morning but I rose with a sound mind. Some have not that luxury. Even more I rose with no sicknesses and able to move without the aid of a walking stick. Some have not this blessing. Even more my children are well and growing in prosperity (and I mean not merely monetarily). Many do not share my testimony.
My point to this brief missive is simple. Thanksgiving is not merely a temporary utterance of words said to God just before we dive into well prepared meals rather it is the recognition of God and Who He is. But thanksgiving still goes well beyond that. The fact is that God loved man so much that He sent His only Son to die for us. Immanuel loved us so much that He gave His life so that we could live. And as I pen these words I can think of a multiplicity of reasons for which to be thankful which have nothing to do with cranberry sauce nor the fatted pig. Yet if I were to enumerate upon the goodness of God in my life I suppose that I could fill volumes. So, I will not start in on my testimonies at this point rather I will simply say please do not give up on offering thanksgiving to God merely because the end of a formal holiday has arrived rather have a perpetual attitude of thanksgiving for which God will be pleased and receive as a sweet smelling savour.


Home / weddings / Riker Wedding – Marina Del Rey, Calif.
Erin, the wedding coordinator getting things started off for the rehearsal on Friday afternoon.
Everyone was burning up since it was the mid 90s outside. An unseasonably long heatwave had hit SoCal and stayed long enough for the wedding.
Gotta remember to tell the audience to sit down..
Had to get that sunset photo before it was gone!
As the sun finally went down everyone started in on the food and spend the rest of the night laughing and talking.
Hair is dry and Jaylynne is ready to get styled!
Rockin his UM socks! Go Blue!
Mr. Riker Sr. was laughing that he didn't have a shirt. But hey, it was 95 degrees out and they had all just got back to shower and change. I'd probably be dressed the same. haha!
As Jenny headed to the shuttle to go to the marina, we all headed out on foot.
It was a quick walk, but she's the bride so the girls almost forced her to take the air conditioned van it sounded like. haha!
Well look at that… Their love of sports AND a hidden Mickey reflection. Hahaha!
Group shot of the ladies!
Things are about to get started, so I had to get a selfie with the bride before she walked the aisle!
Joel was so quick to repeat, Chris barely got a chance to say everything!
As soon as Chris, Jenny's brother, stood up to speak a boat horn sounded right after his introduction.
During his reading Chris shared and spoke of love..
Same for Joel, but he didn't let go of Jenny!
Time to start wrangling everyone together for photos!
Managed to even get the big group shot with everyone up top!
As the sun set AND the boat kept turning, it was making lighting realllllly interesting since it changed with every group. haha!
I headed back up top and did a few more photos for of the friends and guests!
Jenny and Joel and are introduced, for the second time, as Mr. and Mrs!
Next up, the Best Man. Wes.
She surprisingly, and laughingly, let him!
Next up it was his turn..
And Joel quickly took several steps backward!!
Eyes closed expecting the worst I'm guessing!
Not to be left out, Mr. Riker Sr. pulled Mrs. Novak onto the dance floor to join everyone!
Helping out Mr. Novak with those sunglasses again!
And the rest of the night was spent dancing and enjoying the party!
I forget the song that was playing, but Joel's reaction is "wait! Can't! I'm married now!" which is why he's holding up his ring! haha!
Our last attempted photo of the night… let's see how many people we can fit in one shot!
Almost everyone! Nice work guys!
And that was the night! An awesome end to a very busy, very fun, and very hot weekend! But the hot weather didn't seem to bother anyone too terribly much and everyone seemed to have a great time.
I had a blast being part of Jenny and Joel's wedding celebration and am so glad they asked me to be a part of it all.
I also hope that all of you enjoyed this look at their weekend and for those who couldn't be there, hopefully this helped make you feel like a part of it all!
