This beach is named after 7 soldiers who used to live here - according to the locals. Why they got here and what happened to them no one can say for sure.
The beach is of fine white sand and perfect for swimming and sunbathing. There were several boats here when we arrived - almost all were on the last leg of a day-long island-hopping tour. Since this beach is on the Palawan mainland and very close to El Nido town, it makes for the perfect last stop, especially with a shop on the island serving cold drinks, snacks and the local Halo-halo dessert.

The last stop of our last day of island-hopping at Bacuit Bay, El Nido, Philippines. This beach is actually located on the mainland of El Nido.

Today is the anniversary of D-Day 6th June 1944. This memorial, near Spean Bridge, to the memory of those who volunteered to do arduous and dangerous tasks over and above the others who also fought for freedom from tyranny, is a place of quiet. Visitors from all over the world come here and take in the magnificent solitude and views while showing their respect to the sacrifice of servicemen who, if caught, were not treated under the terms of The Geneva Convention.
The free world owes an immense debt to the heroics and service of all such from all walks of life who not only represented their own country but also the others who defended the right to freedom.
The cost of such freedom from tyranny is always high and still tyranny exists.
It is a sad state of affairs that. after so much sacrifice, the world cannot seem to live together in peace and harmony.

Ran into these guys in a parking garage. If it wasn't during SXSW I would've run the other way.

So apparently not ONLY is Echo still alive, but he was to return in season 7 (Most likely with Gregor?) in an Experimental Commando story Arc.
Check it out on Clone Wars' story writer Brent Friedman's twitter page...

Oh, and there's a SLIM chance we could get a season 7 on Netflix. Anyone want to bombard Filoni with emails? :P

My dream bike. However... I owned a Commando 850 Mk2A for 38 years and sold it in the end because my aging legs could no longer start it. It was fitted with 8.5:1 pistons. The above beauty, I assume, would have the Combat engine with 10:1 pistons. Definitely couldn't start this one. And I'm sure that if it had a mind to, it could easily launch you over the handlebars if it kicked back. Still, it would be nice to have in the living room.
Friend of mine just finished rebuilding this 1982 Norton Commando 850 to pristine conditions. Went for an 80 mile ride today and it performed flawlessly. Next step is to add a few oil leaks to it and it will then be a truly 100% Norton build quality!! Those of you that have owned British bikes will know what I am talking about..

Seen at Glasson Dock - a Norton Commando Fastback.
I think it is just a myth - I don't think the seat hump (or whatever its called) made it any faster ;-)
When I had been riding a few years I was considering buying one but when I went for a test ride I couldn't start it so bought a Suzuki GT750 instead!
Although I took an actual camera (not just a phone) and there was lots to photograph including plenty of bikes, I only took one photo all day. I think that we were too busy talking when we weren't on our bikes.

A fitting memorial to some of the bravest men in history.
The Commando memorial at Sundown, Spean Bridge, Highlands, Scotland
Au fond les bastions d'origine (XVIème siècle) restaurés par Vauban.Cette photo a été prise d'un petit ouvrage à corne construit par Vauban qui l'appelait "petit cornichon" (on voit en face le bastion qui forme l'une des cornes, l'ouvrage fut construit dans les années 1690). Au XVIIIème siècle un nouvel ouvrage (à gauche) vient encore renforcé ce front !
Le Fort de Charlemont surplombe Givet qui au XVIème siècle fait partie des pays bas Espagnols. Le Fort est commencé en 1555, les Français l'attaquent sans succès alors qu'il est encore en chantier: c'est l'épisode de la bataille de Gimnée. Suite à cette attaque la place est considérablement agrandie, en 1559 les terrassements sont achevés: les murs sont composés d'une alternance de couches de terre tassée et de fascines. En 1564 le parement des remparts est achevé. Le fort est assiégé sans succès en 1640: un homme de la garnison se fait passé pour un traitre. Après avoir gagné la confiance des Français, il fait sauter leur poudrière principale installée dans l'église d'Aubrives. En 1680 Louis XIV parvient à s'en emparer par la diplomatie. Vauban lance alors une énergique campagne de travaux afin de renforcer Charlemont, l'enceinte de Givet St Hilaire détruite par les Français est également reconstruite. En 1696, Coehorn vient bombardé Givet, la ville est fortement touchée. Givet Notre Dame située de l'autre côté de la Meuse est à nouveau fortifiée (la première enceinte avait été détruite par les Français). Le mont d'Haurs reçoit également un camp retranché. Avec ces travaux ça n'est pas moins de 4 forteresses qui défendent Givet: Givet St Hilaire et Givet Notre Dame avec leurs remparts, le Mont D'haurs et Charlemont, la clef du dispositif. Un dispositif de fortins renforce l'ensemble ! En 1815 après le désastre de Waterloo alors que Philippeville, Maubeuge, Rocroi, et Mézières sont tombées le général Bourke tient toujours dans Givet et Charlemont ! Les Prusssiens ne parviennent pas à occuper Charlemont. La garnison n'ouvre la place aux commissaires de Wellington que sur ordre du Roi Louis XVIII. En 1914 la vénérable forteresse est assiégée, dans Givet les combats sont rudes autour du pont, la population de Givet Notre Dame évite de peu le massacre par les Allemands excédés : 4000 obus de gros calibre s'abattent sur la place dont la dernière campagne de modification importante remonte aux années 1870 avant la crise de l'obus torpille, L'état major a fait enlever l'artillerie à longue portée avant le conflit. Après trois jours de calvaire, incapable de riposter le gouverneur de la place signe la reddition. En 1940 deux petits bunkers judicieusement placés et une poignée d'hommes déterminés bloquent l'avancée Allemande jusqu'à épuisement de leurs munitions avant de tenter de franchir les lignes ennemies. Cet épisode vaudra une série de bombardements au vieux Fort, mais jamais les bunkers ne seront touchés. Les Allemands de l'organisation Todt utilisent le Fort comme entrepôt de transit pour les travaux du mur de l'atlantique. En 1944 le fort est utilisé comme QG par les alliés, des milliers d'hommes transitent par Charlemont. De 1962 à 2008 le Fort reprend du service et devient un centre d'entrainement commando. A quand une ouverture au public ?

stopped off here Sunday morning on our way back from The Isle Of Skye!! Not the sunrise we were supposed to get but hey ho
We are the offspring of warriors;
In days of darkness and despair
we are the future they could not see.
We are the destiny they hoped for.
The generations yet unborn
for which they fought and died.
The inheritance for which many waded
through blood and survived
to live a life imprisoned in bodies
maimed and mangled
by the inhumanity of war.
We are the offspring of warriors:
Men and women who remain
bloodied but unbowed.
Perfect in spirit and brotherhood.
See their path before you.
They have left a road much travelled.
The Road to Valour.
The Path of Truth.
Each paved with integrity, with bravery,
with blood, sweat, and tears.
May the tracks we leave behind
for our future generations
be as worthy of the journey
as the ones we now follow.
Do not tread upon their footsteps.
Walk beside them, learn from them
and leave your own mark
for others to pursue.
We are the offspring of warriors:
Their voices echo down the years
exhorting us to stay strong,
to be vigilant in our own battles,
to recognise our true enemies.
They cry in horror as we so easily
give up the freedoms for which they laid down their lives.
Their lives demand that we too
make our word our bond,
that we too stand up for what we believe in
That we too represent our truth
with integrity, with perseverance.
That we too may leave a legacy
and not just a memory.
We are the offspring of warriors:
With clear hearts and eyes
we all march down a path in history.
Whether, in the telling of our journeys,
we weave a tapestry of greatness or of loss,
that story will be told to our generations.
Make it a tale worth the telling,
for we are the offspring of warriors.

The Commando Memorial, erected in 1952, is an A-listed monument to the men of the British Commando Forces of WWII who trained at nearby Archnacarry Castle, Spean Bridge, Scottish Highlands. The Commandos were established by Churchill after Dunkirk in June 1940. They are looking south towards Ben Nevis, the area shown in yesterday's photo, where they did their training.

"Vader's set up a special assassination unit of former Republic commandos and ARCs within the Five-oh-first solely to hunt Jedi, deserters and sympathizers."

Upon the request from a commission or two and suggestions from others, I have designed an Imperial Commando template. Based on a mixture of the only three good reference pictures I have, this template went through a series of trials before the final product, seen here, was made. The visor itself took four different attempts to get shape and shading right. Nevertheless, I am pleased with the outcome. Thanks to Clone Army Customs for the weapon, helmet, and backpack; Tyler's helmet worked great for the Imperial Commando template.
It may be a little hard to see, but I've integrated battle-damage to the figure via decals. Battle damage is not usually something you see made from decals, so I tried my best; view on all sizes for a better view of the battle damage and details.
So anyways, as always, I'd like to see your feedback! I want to know what you guys think of the battle damage and the visor; is there anything you would like to see changed or added, maybe even removed? Let me know in the comments!
