The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission is a City Council-appointed body that advises Council on issues related to the City's historic resources. The group seeks to preserve, protect and maintain the historic integrity of Virginia Beach and the former Princess Anne County through a program of advocacy and increased public awareness and involvement. The commission generally meets the first Wednesday evening of the month, except July and August, at 2101 Parks Ave., Suite 500.

Watermelon Birthday Cake with Sweet Slices of Cookie Cake. This is a three layer hand carved cake in our butter yellow flavor paired with layers of whipped vanilla buttercream. The cake is then covered in a generous layer of fresh buttercream and wrapped in a silky fondant layer of fresh fondant. The stripes and "skin" of the watermelon are hand painted and the seeds are hand cut and strategically placed. A fondant market tag finishes the cake. The birthday boy also requested cookie cake, so we designed the cookie cake into slices if melon to tie the two designs together. We also provided and additional box of mini watermelon bites for all of the little party guests! Happy Birthday Derrick!! Browse our full dessert gallery at www.jmccustomcakes.com
This little guy did not come from the produce section. In fact, his variety is native to Brazil. The three-banded armadillo is the only armadillo that can seal itself completely into a tight ball.
At the Bucks County Zoo, we held this guy and gently passed him around. The bands are easy to see in this photo. Between the bands are lighter colored sections, made of a material similar to our fingernails. They're flexible, allowing for the curling that he needs for protection.

"I stand before you tonight to represent the people who do not count: The poor, the poets, and monks. As long as there are people who are trying to realize the divine in themselves, there shall be hope in the world."

Three two-barrel carburetors on an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold. V8-engined 1937 Lincoln pickup truck hot rod. Lincoln did not make a 1937 pickup. I believe it's 1937 Lincoln front end sheet metal grafted to a similar vintage Ford pickup cab & bed.

The Three sisters are one of the most famous landmarks of the Blue Mountains. Legend has it in the Aboriginal Dream time to rival tribes were at war. One of the chiefs, fearing for his three daughters safety, magically turned them to stone, to protect them until the war was over. Unfortunately the chief was killed before he could undo the spell and his daughters remained trapped in stone forever.
This section of the great dividing range west of Sydney is known as the Blue Mountains and are one of the famous landscape views of Australia. They are named after the blue mist that gives the mountains it's hue. The mist rises from Millions of eucalyptus trees and hangs in the air, painting the mountains and sky alike. The Mountains are actually a series of canyons, the Plateau is around 1000m above sea level and over millions of years rivers carved great canyons into it. It was thought to be an inpenitrable barrier to the west., until finally traversed in 1813 by explorers Wentworth, Blaxland and Lawson. It is now home to many small outback towns but sees huge tourism from rockclimbers, canyoneers, hikers, horse and bike riders and those who just want to enjoy the view. It is flooded by tourists and Sydneysiders alike trying to escape the bussell of the city.

Anton Corbijn's (@antoncorbijn4real) favourite spot in London? As a long-time fan, that famous grainy Ian Curtis postcard glued to my teenager wall, I had to check it out. And had to laugh: despite all those shiny London photo spots Corbijn chose Three Colts Corner when asked by the @szmagazin in February: "...a railway crossing close to the lively Brick Lane. But now that London became so fancy I like this place more than ever: that charm of brick, graffiti and dog shit."

The Virginia Aquarium Stranding Response Team released three rehabilitated turtles that were hooked by recreational fishermen. The Stranding Response Team released the turtles along the shore behind Neptune’s Park at 31st Street. This year’s naming theme for rehab patients at the Aquarium is “heroes and villains.” The sex of each young turtle is yet to be determined.
Ursula, a Kemp’s ridley which is the most endangered turtle species, was hooked at Virginia Beach Fishing Pier June 7. She had several lacerations, a healing rear flipper wound and corneal ulcers. Ursula was also undernourished.
Voldemort, another Kemp’s ridley turtle, is best known for his second hooking and rehab stay at the Aquarium’s Marine Animal Care Center. He was superficially hooked with a J hook baited with squid by a fisherman on the Buckroe Fishing Pier July 2. He quickly recovered from that injury, was released and then was hooked again three days later but this time at Naval Station Norfolk. This hook required surgery as it was lodged in his esophagus.
Green Goblin, the only green sea turtle among the group, was found on the bank of Owls Creek July 5. He was hooked through his right upper and lower eyelids with a J hook which was easily removed by the team. They also discovered a plastron (shell) fracture which has now stabilized.
The Stranding Response Team urges anyone who sees a hooked turtle to call the 24-hour hotline 757 385-7575. While you wait for assistance, do not pull a turtle up on the line which causes further injury but scoop it with a net. Then keep the turtle shaded and wet. Most of all, do not fish if you see turtles nearby.

Crossing the highway outside Paramaribo, Suriname. I had seen a pair of videos taken in Costa Rica of a similar event just prior to this trip, one of which was matched with a remix of the song 'I Believe I Can Fly' (easily found on YouTube). My colleagues said they hadn't seen one in over a year and - just a little while later - we came across this guy doing same thing. They're painfully slow and clearly not made for moving horizontally. When a car came by, he'd lower his head (slowly). A local picked him up, just like in the videos, and gently placed him on the far side.

Three little kittens they lost their mittens,
And they began to cry,
Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear
Our mittens we have lost.
What! lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!
Then you shall have no pie.
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
No, you shall have no pie.
With apologies to Sue ;-)

This is the first major sign that greets drivers as they arrive in Washington, DC via the Teddy Roosevelt Bridge.
The first three options lead into that famously tangled mess of highways southeast of the Kennedy Center. The signs themselves could be simplified: first, let's use a consistent font. The two EASTs are clearly different. I would also center them with the numbers in the highway symbols (66 and 50). I would consistently abbreviate Avenue - you see they use Ave with Constitution but spell it out with Independence. I'd always use Ave and keep it on the same line as Independence. Next, there's no need to indicate Downtown under 50 EAST - I'd consider E Street to be closer to downtown anyways.
That boxy truck on the left is used to move the concrete barriers two times every work day. They switch the direction of the middle lane since the traffic flow is lopsided, with more cars driving into the city in the morning and then flocking into Virginia at night. It would be interesting to see whether patterns have normalized as DC experiences a housing boom and Virginia experiences a jobs boom.
