The Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) was a fraternal organization composed of veterans of the Union Army, US Navy, Marines and Revenue Cutter Service who served in the American Civil War. Founded in 1866 in Decatur, Illinois, it was dissolved in 1956 when its last member died. Linking men through their experience of the war, the GAR became among the first organized advocacy groups in American politics, supporting voting rights for black veterans, lobbying the US Congress to establish veterans' pensions, and supporting Republican political candidates. Its peak membership, at more than 490,000, was in 1890, a high point of Civil War commemorative ceremonies. It was succeeded by the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW), composed of male descendants of Union veterans.
The American Civil War was a dramatic and traumatic event, throwing together soldiers from very diverse backgrounds and communities. After the cessation of the war, when the United States began to rebuild itself, many of these veterans wished to keep in contact with each other, using their shared experiences as a basis for fellowship. In 1866, Benjamin F. Stephenson established the Grand Army of the Republic in Decatur, Illinois, specifying that membership would be open to all honorably discharged soldiers who had fought on the side of the Union.

Founded in 1809 and is the oldest functioning church in Monmouth County.
The corner-stone was laid May 16, 1809, at 11 o'clock, according to the statement of Mrs. Theodore Woolley, whose mother was born on that day, and related to her this fact. The services lasted from 11 o'clock in the morning until 6 in the evening.
The Negro Hill Massacre c. 1780 Mechanicsville
In or about the year 1780 there occurred in the present Borough of West Long Branch an event, which has been called the Negro Hill Massacre. It occurred on what is now the location of the present Old First Methodist Church Cemetery. During the Revolutionary War the English government offered freedom to all slaves who would run away and join their forces and help put down the "Rebels" as the Patriots were then called. Several local runaway slaves joined a party of Refugees or Loyalists, which were located at Sandy Hook, which was in British control at that time. From there they were sent out on small raiding parties to plunder and collect information on the Patriots and there intended movements in the area. In these forays the many lawless acts they committed was enough to cause the locals a thirst for revenge. In what the thought would be one of there usual raids they passed through lower Sea Bright and Long Branch and then through Tinton Fall's they took a circuitous route, then came out near where the present Old First Methodist Church now stands, not knowing that all this time they had been followed by a group of "Local Militia". They halted for a rest, little dreaming what would be in store for them. They were taken so much by surprise they had no chance for defense, and the whole party were soon bayoneted to death except Sam, a run away slave from the Woolley Plantation who was left for dead. A local living near by found Sam and still seeing life in him, returned him to the Woolley Plantation where he was nursed back to health and lived nearly 40 years after the event. He carried the grave marks of 11 bayonet wounds on his hands and breasts the rest of his life.

George is a young black lemur who was born this year at Drusillas zoo in Sussex. He arrived shortly before Prince George, but it wasn't known at first what sex he was. By the time staff identified that he was a male Prince George had been named, so this little guy was named after him. He was eating a piece of fruit when I took this shot.
I met George after having lunch with friends. I learn he may be related to some Yellowheads from my community, Rama First Nation. From Thunderbay and trying to make it in the big smoke. I left him a few dollars for his art supplies and alas I don't know if may see him again to make an art purchase.
Here is my dad's truck on it's first trip after it had it's Low Leaf cut off and replaced with 52k Neway cutoff and 46k rockwell rears. It is a 2004 379. It was an EBD truck, so it used to have a Cummins in it, but after a while it calved, so we put in a C-15

The smell of the chlorine, the clammy warm incubation and puddles on the concrete floor. I loved the writing on the walls. The lime goggles dangling from a painted white hook. They had been here everyday now. The aqua green tile scratched, stained. The stall of the bathrooms were missing the latches on the inside of each door you had to tell your friend to stand watch and keep the door closed for you. I loved Shiphara's dinosaur the name Gar y scrawled next to him in purple chalk.

In the latter half of the 19th century, Sigmund Freud failed in his efforts to study, reconstruct, and understand the human brain. And for over a century man’s attempts have all been for naught in this endeavor, until there was George Hart. George Hart may look to be a geometric sculptor, but he’s actually the only person ever to reconstruct accurate models of the living human brain. You’ll see all the intricacies and facets of the mind in each and every represenation. This makes his work incredibly rare and ultra-valuable. Only a select few will ever be fortunate enough to see these marvels in real-life, consider yourself lucky. Find out more at www.creativetempest.com

Established in 1649 as Port Royal by the French, St. George's is the capital and cultural center of Grenada. It was seized by British forces in 1762 and confirmed by the 1763 Treaty of Paris. During the American Revolution, the city and island were retaken by French forces under D'Estaing and de Bouillé when they ignored the harbor defenses of 1705 Fort George (foreground, left), and instead landed North of the city, marched overland and seized Hospital Hill overlooking the city (background left). Out maneuvered, the British garrison surrendered. After Grenada was returned to the British following the 1783 Treaty of Paris, the government built three new forts inland, including Fort Frederick on the crest of the hill in the middle, all facing the interior to prevent such a flanking maneuver from happening again.
In the midground is the Carenage, the main harbor of St. George's.

George Robey (1869-1954) was an English comedian, singer and actor in musical theatre, who became known as one of the greatest music hall performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a comedian, Robey mixed everyday situations and observations with comic absurdity. Apart from his music hall acts, he was a popular Christmas pantomime performer in the English provinces, where he excelled in the dame roles. He only had modest success in the cinema.
George Robey was born as George Edward Wade in London in 1869. He came from a middle-class family. His father, Charles Wade, was a civil engineer who spent much of his career on tramline design and construction. Robey's mother, Elizabeth Mary Wade née Keene, was a housewife. After schooling in England and Germany and a series of office jobs, he made his debut on the London stage, at the age of 21, as the straight man to a comic hypnotist. He soon developed his act and appeared at the Oxford Music Hall in 1890, where he earned favourable notices singing The Simple Pimple and He'll Get It Where He's Gone to Now. In 1892, Robey appeared in his first pantomime, Whittington Up-to-date in Brighton, which brought him to a wider audience. With Robey's popularity came an eagerness to differentiate himself from his music hall rivals, and so he devised a signature costume when appearing as himself: an oversized black coat fastened from the neck down with large, wooden buttons; black, unkempt, baggy trousers and a partially bald wig with black, whispery strands of unbrushed, dirty-looking hair that poked below a large, dishevelled top-hat. He applied thick white face paint and exaggerated the redness on his cheeks and nose with bright red makeup; his eye line and eyebrows were also enhanced with thick, black grease paint. He held a short, misshaped, wooden walking stick, which was curved at the top. Robey later used the costume for his character, The Prime Minister of Mirth. The outfit helped Robey become instantly recognisable on the London music hall circuit. More provincial engagements followed in Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool, and he soon became a mainstay of the popular Christmas pantomime scene. By the start of the new century, Robey was a big name in pantomime, and he was able to choose his roles. Pantomime enjoyed wide popularity until the 1890s, but by the time Robey had reached his peak, interest in it was on the wane. A type of character he particularly enjoyed taking on was the pantomime dame, which historically was played by comedians from the music hall. Robey was inspired by the older comedians Herbert Campbell and Dan Leno, and, although post-dating them, he rivalled their eccentricity and popularity, earning the festive entertainment a new audience. Robey's music hall act matured in the first decade of the 1900s, and he undertook several foreign tours. He starred in the Royal Command Performance in 1912 and regularly entertained before the aristocracy. Robery had made his film debut in 1900, according to IMDb. The short comedy The Rats (N.N., 1900) offered a brief glimpse of some of the greatest entertainers from the late Victorian and early Edwardian stage, Dan Leno, Herbert Campbell and George Robey. In 1913, Robey appeared in two early sound shorts: And Very Nice Too (Walter R. Boots, 1913) and Good Queen Bess (Walter R. Boots, 1913), made in the Kinoplasticon process, where the film was synchronised with phonograph records. The next year, he tried to emulate his music hall colleagues Billy Merson and Charlie Austin, who had set up Homeland Films and found success with the Squibs series of films starring Betty Balfour. Robey met filmmakers from the Burns Film Company, who engaged him in a silent short entitled George Robey Turns Anarchist, in which he played a character who fails to blow up the Houses of Parliament. George Robey's Day Off (1919) showed the comedian acting out his daily domestic routines to comic effect, but the picture failed at the box office. Producers did not know how best to apply Robey's stage talents to the film. He continued to appear sporadically in film throughout the rest of his career, never achieving more than a modest amount of success. By the First World War, music hall entertainment had fallen out of favour with audiences. Revue appealed to wartime audiences, and Robey decided to capitalise on the medium's popularity. He achieved great success in The Bing Boys Are Here (1916). He was cast as Lucius Bing opposite Violet Loraine, who played his love interest Emma. The couple duetted in the show's signature song If You Were the Only Girl (In the World), which became an international success. Robey raised money for many war charities and was appointed a CBE in 1919. From 1918, he created sketches based on his Prime Minister of Mirth character and used a costume he had designed in the 1890s as a basis for the character's attire.
George Robey starred in the revue Round in Fifty in 1922, which earned him still wider notice. He returned to the cinema a further four times during 1923. The first two films were written to showcase his pantomime talents: One Arabian Night (Sinclair Hall, 1923) was a reworking of Aladdin and co-starred Lionelle Howard and Edward O'Neill. Harlequinade (A.E. Coleby, 1923) visited the roots of pantomime. One of Robey's more notable film roles was Sancho Panza in Don Quixote (Maurice Elvey, 1923), for which he received a fee of £700 a week. The amount of time he spent working away from home led to the breakdown of his marriage, and he separated from Ethel in 1923. Except for his performances in revue and pantomime, he appeared as his Prime Minister of Mirth character in all the other entertainment media including variety, music hall and radio. In the late 1920s Robey wrote and starred in two Phonofilm sound-on-film productions, Safety First (Hugh Croise, 1928) and Mrs. Mephistopheles (Hugh Croise, 1929). In 1932 Robey appeared in his first sound film, The Temperance Fête (Graham Cutts, 1932). It was followed by Marry Me (Wilhelm Thiele, 1932), starring German actress Renate Müller, which was one of the most successful musical films of his career. The film tells the story of a sound recordist in a gramophone company who romances a colleague when she becomes the family housekeeper. Robey continued to perform in variety theatre in the inter-war years and, in 1932, he starred in Helen!, his first straight theatre role. His appearance brought him to the attention of many influential directors, including Sydney Carroll, who signed him to appear on stage as Falstaff in Henry IV, Part 1 in 1935, a role that he later repeated in Laurence Olivier's film, Henry V (1944). Robey starred opposite Fritz Kortner, and Anna May Wong in a film version of the hit musical Chu Chin Chow (Walter Forde, 1934)). The New York Times called him 'a lovable and laughable Ali Baba'. In the summer of 1938, Robey appeared in the film A Girl Must Live (Carol Reed, 1939) in which he played the role of Horace Blount. A journalist for The Times opined that Robey's performance as an elderly furrier, the love interest of both Margaret Lockwood and Lilli Palmer, was 'a perfect study in bewildered embarrassment'. During the Second World War, Robey raised money for charities and promoted recruitment into the forces. Robey starred in the film Salute John Citizen (Maurice Elvey, 1942), co-starring Edward Rigby and Stanley Holloway, about the effects that the war had on a normal British family. A further four films followed in 1943, one of which promoted war propaganda while the other two displayed the popular medium of cine-variety. By the 1950s, his health had deteriorated, and he entered semi-retirement. George Robey was knighted a few months before his death at his home in Saltdean, East Sussex, in 1954. He was 85. Robey was married Twice. In 1898, Robey married his first wife, Ethel Hayden, the Australian-born musical theatre actress. Ethel accompanied him on his tours and frequently starred alongside him. They had two children, a son Edward (1900) and a daughter Eileen. After his divorce from Ethel in 1938, he married Blanche Littler, who was more than two decades his junior.
