I swear if I get invited to another pointless, redundant, "Hand-Me-Down-Warfare" group one more time, I'm going to bust some caps. I've gotten 12 invites to one group, and countless other invites for previously done groups.
I was off for 8 hours, I came back and had another 21 invites. If I get one more, you can consider yourself BLOCKED.

Le tournoi de foot en salle de Saint-Malo a débuté ce lundi 26 décembre 2022
Le réputé tournoi de foot en salle de Saint-Malo propose une nouvelle formule à 24 équipes. La tradition veut qu’il débute juste après Noël.
Après deux ans d’absence, à cause de la pandémie, les jeunes footballeurs peuvent de nouveau participer au célèbre tournoi de foot en salle malouin.
Cette édition, organisée par le GJPM (Groupement jeunes du pays malouin), propose quelques nouveautés.
Pour éviter de débuter trop tôt le tournoi, le lendemain de Noël, nous avons limité à 24 équipes U11, au lieu de 36. Les premiers matchs de qualification ont débuté à 11 h, jusqu’à 21 h le lundi. Les matchs des phases finales, auront lieu de 10 h à 18 h 30, le mardi. La durée des rencontres a été rallongée à 9 minutes », explique Swell Levillain, le responsable du tournoi.
Parmi les équipes engagées en U11, nous retrouvons les clubs malouins du GJPM, USSM, Jacques-Cartier et d’autres clubs d’Ille-et-Vilaine, des Côtes-d’Armor et de Normandie. Dans les tribunes, les regards sont surtout tournés vers les clubs de la région Île-de-France, tels que Magny-le-Hongre, Épinay, Versailles ou encore les tenants du titre, le FC Brunoy.
Mardi 27 décembre, de belles rencontres sont attendues pour les phases finales U11.
Le tournoi des U13, aura lieu les 28 et 29 décembre.
Saint-Malo. 500 joueurs attendus pour le retour du tournoi de foot en salle
Après deux ans d’interruption pour cause de pandémie, entre les deux réveillons, 500 jeunes footballeurs vont de nouveau en découdre pendant quatre jours, salle du Naye, à Saint-Malo (Ille-et-Vilaine).
Le tournoi Noël de foot en salle est de retour à Saint-Malo. Avec le Covid, nous n’avons pas organisé cet événement pendant deux ans », explique Swell Levillain. C’est lui, désormais, qui prépare ce rendez-vous inscrit dans l’agenda sportif local depuis trente-neuf ans.
Ses sentiments sont ambivalents. Je suis excité de retrouver le tournoi avec l’ambiance et tous les bénévoles. Mais je crains d’affronter ce moment sans les deux piliers habituels, Nicolas Leguernic et Dominique Pingon. Le premier l’a organisé de 1999 à 2019. Le deuxième, président de la section football du Cercle Jules-Ferry (CJF), est décédé l’année dernière. Cette année, le trophée des vainqueurs portera son nom. »
« Cela va très vite »
Désormais, l’organisation de ce tournoi n’est plus uniquement confiée au CJF mais au groupement jeunes du Pays malouin. Depuis trois ans, pour les équipes de U6 à U18, nous avons rassemblé les clubs de Saint-Méloir, La Gouesnière, Château-Malo, La Fresnais et le CJF, pour mutualiser les compétences et les ressources de chaque club.
À part cela, les règles n’ont pas changé. Ce tournoi est réservé aux équipes U11 et U13. Pour chaque catégorie, la compétition dure deux jours. Nous attendons au total 72 équipes de cinq joueurs et trois remplaçants. Les rencontres durent huit minutes et se déroulent sur le parquet de la salle du Naye. Le terrain est délimité par des barrières sur lesquelles le ballon rebondit. Il n’y a pas de temps morts, cela va très vite.
500 joueurs attendus, 150 bénévoles
Les équipes viennent de la banlieue parisienne, de Normandie et de Bretagne. On attend 500 joueurs. Il faut 150 bénévoles. L’Unicef sera présent. Le CJF est partenaire. Nous remettrons un questionnaire que les équipes devront remplir.
Ce rendez-vous de fin d’année est toujours un succès. La salle est tout le temps pleine. C’est rare de proposer une compétition entre Noël et le Nouvel an.
Du lundi 26 au jeudi 29 décembre 2022, de 9 h à 21 h. Salle du Naye. Entrée gratuite.

Nov.2, 2018: Excursion to Petra by bus with our group. Many not feeling well, including my wy wife whom was very sick. Food or ???
Petra is a famous archaeological site in Jordan's southwestern desert. Dating to around 300 B.C., it was the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom. Accessed via a narrow canyon called Al Siq, it contains tombs and temples carved into pink sandstone cliffs, earning its nickname, the "Rose City." Perhaps its most famous structure is 45m-high Al Khazneh, a temple with an ornate, Greek-style facade, and known as The Treasury.
Petra Archaeological Park (PAP), which covers an area of 264 dunums (264,000 square meters) within Wadi Musa, is considered a touristic and archaeological site, as well as a World Heritage Site registered on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1985. The area encompasses a breathtaking landscape of pink-hued rock mountains, the focus of which is the amazing ancient Nabataean city of Petra, which was carved into the rock more than 2,000 years ago.
THE SIQ
It is the ancient main entrance leading to the city of Petra, starts at the Dam and ends at the opposite side of the vault, a split rock with a length of about 1200m and a width of 3 to 12m, and height up to about 80m; most of the rock is natural and another part was sculptured by the Nabataeans. The Siq, the main road that leads to the city, starts from the Dam and ends at the Treasury. It is a rock canal that measures 160 meters in length, 3 to 12 meters in width and reaches up to 80 meters in height. The main part of the Siq is created by natural rock formation and the rest is carved by the Nabataeans.
At the beginning of the Siq, one can still view the remains of the city’s gate. On both sides of the Siq, there are channels to draw water from Wadi Musa (the Valley of Moses), from outside the city to the inside.
From the right, it is evident that the water flowed through pottery pipes but the left channel is carved from the rock and covered with panels of stone, and there are spaces in place to filter water. At the start of the Siq the original Nabataean dams are visible, and these prevented the flooding in the Siq, and collected water for use. The floor of the Siq is paved with stone slabs, part of which can be viewed in its original location.
Aspects of the Siq were decorated with Nabataean sculptures, mostly representing gods. It is believed that the statues of gods and their sculptures were situated very close and even adjacent to the channels due to the Nabataean belief that water was sacred. In addition, on the left side there are idols called Sabinos Statues.
THE TREASURY (Al Khazna)
The siq opens up onto Petra’s most magnificent façade; the Treasury, or Al Khazna. It is almost 40 meters high and intricately decorated with Corinthian capitals, friezes, figures and more. The Treasury is crowned by a funerary urn, which according to local legend conceals a pharaoh’s treasure. Although the original function is still a mystery, The Treasury was probably constructed in the 1st century BC, However, in reality the urn represented a memorial for royalty. The Treasury consists of two floors with a width of 25.30 meters and a height of 39.1 meters.
The purpose of the Treasury is unclear: some archaeologists believed it to be a temple, while others thought it was a place to store documents. However, the most recent excavation here has unearthed a graveyard beneath the Treasury.
The Treasury comprises three chambers, a middle chamber with one on either side, the elaborately carved facade represents the nabataean engineering genius.
THE STREET OF FACADES
It is a name given to the row of monumental Nabataean tombs carved in the southern cliff face that lies past the Treasury and adjacent to the outer Siq., that when you pass the Treasury, the Siq begins to widen gradually as it reaches into an open area. On both sides, there are a number of Nabataean burial interfaces decorated with grindstones along with other decorations; and some of these interfaces were destroyed by natural factors, it is believed that these interfaces represents some of the senior officials in the city or princes.
The tomb Anesho is located in the far south of this group and overlooks the external Siq. Anesho was the Minister of Queen Nabatiyeh Shaqilh II, who ruled between 70 and 76 AD as guardians of the throne of her son, Rabil II. These tombs represent courtier in the middle of the first century AD.
THE THEATER
Carved into the side of the mountain at the foot of the High Place of Sacrifice, the theatre consists of three rows of seats separated by passageways. Seven stairways ascend the auditorium and it can accommodate 4000 spectators. the monument was carved in the the mountainside during the reign of King Aretas IV (4BC-AD27) the Romans rebuilt the stage back wall.
I was unable to go further into the canyon.
Taken when I went with a dedicated group of volunteers who twice weeky check more than 30 bluebird boxes at Birdsong Nature Center in Thomasville, Georgia. The volunteers include one who has been doing this for decades,. They record whether there are eggs or babies in the nests, and the volunteers clear the nests of wasp predators, and spray near the ground to keep fire ants away.
Bluebirds lay about 2 clutches of eggs a year. They take a week to build their nest out of pine straw, then over a week's period lay one egg a day. The babies hatch a week later, and then fly away about three weeks later.

't Moeraske, nature reserve.
From the entrance, in the Rue de la Perche (french) or Wipstraat (dutch) , it are the clumps of thyme and the wagtail that welcome you. Then, all along the path, between the embankment and the railway, willows, alders and locust trees fight every inch of the banks of the Kerkebeek. The stream is swarming with sticklebacks, great pond snails and dragonflies. On the borders, in the fallow, the viviparous lizard slaloms between the grass snake, the centaury and the yellow reseda. Further on, alongside the railway, the marsh is composed of a vegetation of helophyts and kingfishers. From the top of the embankment, accessible by stairs, we can see the marsh and at the far end, a rose garden. The Moeraske is located in Evere between the training station of Schaerbeek, the park of the Bon Pasteur and the Sint-Vincent church.

just over half of the baboons were in this wooden hut, which is in the centre of their island. They too were enjoying the sunshine, grooming one another, and generally doing things that baboons do !
As the party comes to an end, some of the guests have to rush home. Everyone else sticks around for a group photo.
