Hanceville Fire & Rescue hosted a visit by the famous North Alabama traveling food merchant Swamp John – Saturday between 4 and 7 pm.
There was a steady line of vehicles (usually 3 to 4 deep) taking advantage of the drive-by pick-up service made available directly through the Fire Station. Also, many more area residents made there way into the main serving areas for sit down plates of fish, chicken, shrimp or combo plats.
According to Hanceville Fire Chief Rodger Green, it was a record turnout,
“We had close to 450 people come through during the 3 hours we were open. That is about 2 1/2 customers per minute. We never had a slow moment!
I really want to thank EVERYONE who came by to support us. All the funds we generated will go directly into supporting the citizens Hanceville and their public safety needs”
Plates were $11.00 each and included a drink and a dessert. There were several celebrity guests who attended including Cullman County Commission Chairman candidate Darrell Hicks, Noah Chappell of the American Red Cross, Fire Chief Maurice Reynolds (and his attractive bride) of Bethsadia Volunteer Fire Department and Hanceville City Councilman Charles Wilson.

The Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy was an association football competition that took place twice, in Turin, Italy, in 1909 and 1911. It is regarded as an early European trophy.
It is predated by the Torneo Internazionale Stampa Sportiva, which was hosted in 1908 in Turin, and the Football World Championship, which took place between 1887 and 1902. Also seen as an international competition, but with the noted lack of an England team, Lipton in partnership with the Italian royal family, wanted to go one further and make a more complete tournament. While the actual FIFA World Cup features international teams from around the world, the Lipton Cup, an invitational, only featured a few club sides from Europe.
Overview
Italy, Germany and Switzerland sent their most prestigious club sides to the competition, but The Football Association of England refused to be associated with it and declined the offer to send a team. Not wishing to have England unrepresented in the competition, Thomas Lipton invited West Auckland FC, an amateur side from County Durham and mostly made up of coal miners, to take part. The reason why this team was selected is unknown, although contemporary Italian reports of the team's achievements in the Northern League suggest confusion with the more successful Bishop Auckland. Reports that it was intended to send Woolwich Arsenal, but that West Auckland were invited instead as they shared the same initials, are unlikely to be true; Italian reporting shows they were expecting a team from the Northern League.
West Auckland won the tournament and returned to Italy in 1911 to defend their title. In this second competition, West Auckland beat the then amateur team Juventus 6–1 in the final, and were awarded the trophy outright. The development of football on other continents: Asia, Africa and the Americas was not very advanced and Europe was where the major football was happening.
In January 1994 the original trophy, which was being held in West Auckland Working Men's Club, was stolen. An exact replica of the original trophy was commissioned and is now held by West Auckland FC.

In popular culture
Moving Adverts of Dubai has worked with video maker Rob Kilburn on an account of the story, Our Cup of Tea.
Tyne Tees Television produced a dramatisation of the story in 1982, The World Cup: A Captain's Tale.
West Auckland Town Football Club is a football club from West Auckland, near Bishop Auckland in County Durham, England, competing in the Northern League, in the ninth tier of the English football league system. The club is most famous for being the winners of the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy, one of the world's first international footballing competitions, twice, in 1909 and 1911.
History
Early
The club was founded as "West Auckland F.C." in 1893, and initially played in the Wear Valley League (1896–1900), South Durham Alliance (1900–05) and Mid Durham League (1905–08). In 1908 they joined the Northern League.
Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy
The Trophy was initiated by businessman and sporting enthusiast Sir Thomas Lipton, who wished to see a competition between the leading football clubs of Europe. The football associations of Italy, Germany and Switzerland duly complied, but the Football Association of England refused to nominate a club. West Auckland, a lowly amateur side of coalminers from the Northern League were entered into the competition, although it has never been entirely clear why.
One plausible explanation for West Auckland's entry was that an employee of Sir Thomas Lipton's had contacts in the Northern League and put out an appeal for a team to take the English spot. An alternative explanation, popular in the town itself, is that Lipton had wanted to send Woolwich Arsenal to the Championship – an instruction to his secretary to "contact W.A." led to West Auckland being mistakenly contacted. However, a review of the facts casts doubt on this theory; at the time Woolwich Arsenal had only just been promoted from the Second Division and were not the famous club they are today, being relatively small and unsuccessful compared to many other Football League sides. In addition, there is no documentary evidence to suggest any sort of link between Sir Thomas Lipton and Woolwich Arsenal, so it is unclear why he would have chosen them ahead of any other English team. Indeed, recent research clearly shows evidence that West Auckland were the expected team.
West Auckland with the Thomas Lipton Cup won in 1909
West Auckland duly made the journey to Turin, where the first tournament was being held, many of the players paying out of their own pocket to do so. They beat Sportfreunde Stuttgart in the semi-finals 2–0; in the final, on 12 April 1909, West Auckland faced Swiss side FC Winterthur and beat them 2–0 as well to take the trophy.
Two years later, West Auckland returned, and after beating FC Zürich 2–0, they ran out 6–1 winners in the final over future Italian giants Juventus. By the rules of competition, they were awarded the trophy to keep in perpetuity.
Upon their return home, the club was forced to pawn the trophy to the landlady of the local hotel because of financial problems. It remained with her family until 1960 when a village appeal raised money to return the cup to the club. The cup was then stolen in 1994 and despite the best efforts of local police and a £2,000 reward it was never found. An exact replica of the cup can now be found in a secure cabinet in the West Auckland Working Men's Club.
The story of the club's first success was turned into a television movie in 1982 – The World Cup: A Captain's Tale, produced by Tyne Tees Television and starring Dennis Waterman.
History after
Debts forced the club to leave the Northern League in 1912 and fold, although in 1914 it was reconstituted as "West Auckland Town F.C.", which remains to this day. Although it has never quite reached the same heights it did at the start of the 20th century, it did win the Northern League in 1960 and 1961, and were FA Amateur Cup runners-up in 1961, losing to Walthamstow Avenue. They still remain rivals with Bishop Auckland to this day. Having been founded in 1889, the Northern League is the oldest surviving league after The Football League.
In the 1998–99 season West Auckland reached the first round proper of the F.A. Cup for the third time with an away tie against Yeovil Town. After a 2–2 draw at Yeovil and a 1–1 draw at West Auckland, a penalty shoot-out saw Yeovil through. David Bayles took charge in the summer of 2005 and led the side to 5th place in his first season (2005–06) and then 6th place in the following season. 2007–08 began with an FA Cup run that saw West within minutes of a place in the final qualifying round of the FA Cup before defeat in a replay to Bamber Bridge. After his shock resignation, Lee Ellison had a short lived spell as manager before Phil Owers took over and steadied the side and led them to escape the drop zone. Owers departed early in the 2008–09 season with Brian Fairhurst appointed as the new player-manager. However, after 10 games without a win, Ray Gowan came in but even he was unable to arrest the slide and promptly resigned at the end of the campaign. West Auckland were able to retain their First Division status, however, due to Sunderland Nissan folding. The club then received the news that, to celebrate their centenary of winning the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy, Juventus had agreed to a re-match in Italy, which the Italian club's under-20 team won 7–1. Shortly afterwards Hartlepool legend Brian Honour was appointed the new manager in the hot seat.
Fairhurst and his successor Wilf Constantine struggled to get West back on track and both had short lived spells in charge. For the third season in a row, a new manager was appointed – Peter Dixon arrived on 7 December 2009, swapping a promotion push with Crook for a relegation battle. West finished the season in 16th place despite having a −41 goal difference and 5 points from 19 matches when Dixon took the reins.
In both 2011–12 and 2013–14 West Auckland reached the final of the FA Vase, held at Wembley Stadium. In 2012 they lost 2–0 against fellow Northern League side Dunston UTS and two years later, lost 1–0 to Sholing with a deflected goal separating the sides whilst Jonathan Gibson hit the post in stoppage time. After Dixon's departure a difficult spell followed with several managerial appointments being short lived. In 2017–18 Gary Forrest joined the club; in the 2018–19 season West Auckland reached the FA Vase quarter-final before losing to Chertsey Town.

Yesterday I hosted a workshop about hosting and community producing on (and across) the increasingly prolific number of services which are available, in contrast to those we know and love (i.e. message boards and blogs). I've created notes of the text.
Black text is what I feel the golden rules of hosting anywhere are. Green text is text that we added during the workshop, which is about specific services. The idea was to compare and contrast to see whether the role of community managers is changing.
It seemed to me that the golden rules are still the same, but some things are more appropriate on some services than others.
Cycling out from one cemetery, looking at an entrance to another. The Tesla turned to the left, as did I, although I found my way to the bike path without incident this time. It can sometimes be a long wait here. They repaved the road a while back, and moved the pedestrian crossing for a few days. Also closed off the cycle lane on this side for a week or so. I had at least one close call here then, where I was inches away from being hit by a car while cycling out from here.
RICHMOND, Va. — The Virginia National Guard will host a groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of the Roanoke Regional Readiness Center Complex March 2, 2023, in Troutville, Virginia.
The current complex officially opened in August 2017 and is the home of the 29th Infantry Division Band and Field Maintenance Shop #10. The expansion will increase the maintenance capabilities and provide training, administrative and storage space for two additional units using a combination of new construction and renovation of existing buildings. The two company-sized units will bring approximately 220 additional Soldiers to the area.
“We are incredibly excited to break ground on the expansion of the Roanoke Regional Readiness Center Complex and improve the capabilities of an already great facility,” said Maj. Gen. Timothy P. Williams, the Adjutant General of Virginia. “Once complete, the expanded facility will provide improved maintenance response in the region and additional personnel available if needed for response operations.”
Williams credited the hard work of the VNG’s facilities management team for developing the project with the vendor as well as the support of state government agencies and local government officials in the area. By utilizing this site and most of its existing facilities, the VNG saved the taxpayers significant money and limited environmental impacts as compared to building an all new facility while providing a capability to more efficiently support national defense and state public safety missions, he said.
The project consists of three main parts:
- New construction of an approximately 33,500 square foot readiness center building. Note: the term “readiness center” is now used instead of “armory.”
- Renovation of an approximately 12,000 square foot building for storage and support to the readiness center.
- Construction of an approximately 16,300 square foot maintenance building to expand on existing FMS capabilities into the VNG’s second combined support maintenance shop.
The construction is expected to require about 24 months to complete, Williams said.
Approximately 100 personnel work at 13 FMSs spread out over different locations throughout the state with the mission to provide field maintenance support for surface equipment beyond the capabilities of supported VNG units. The FMS maintains authorized repair parts and supplies and performs preventive maintenance procedures as well as replacement of major components such as engines and transmissions. It also provides contact teams to repair equipment and return it to the unit to conduct operations and training. They also provide maintenance support to VNG units conducting domestic response operations.
A CSMS performs field and sustainment maintenance support on a wide variety of equipment, including heavy and light wheeled vehicles, trailers and generators with specialty shops that provide additional capabilities not performed at an FMS such as welding, painting, machine work, small arms, electronics, artillery, optical instrument and calibration. There is a CSMS currently located at Defense Supply Center Richmond, and what will be known as “CSMS-West” in Troutville will provide expanded capabilities for units in the region requiring less travel time to get needed work accomplished.
Additional background information:
The Virginia National Guard secured the site of the former Botetourt Correctional Center in June 2015. The Botetourt Correctional Center closed in the winter of 2010 and was declared surplus state property. It was transferred to the Virginia National Guard at no cost.
The total site area is approximately 56.5 acres in Troutville, located at State Drive and Route 651, east of I-81 and north of Roanoke. It is adjacent to a Virginia State Police shooting range and a Virginia Department of Transportation regional maintenance facility.
On December 4 to 6, the Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings will host its 12th annual Saban Forum, titled “Israel and the United States: Yesterday, today, and tomorrow.” The 2015 Saban Forum will feature remarks by Israel’s Minister of Defense Moshe Ya’alon, Secretary of State John Kerry, and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The forum’s webcast sessions will focus on the future for Israelis and Palestinians, Iran’s role in the Middle East, spillover from the war in Syria, and the global threat posed by the Islamic State and other violent jihadi groups.
Over the past twelve years, the Saban Forum has become the premier platform for frank dialogue between American and Israeli leaders from government, civil society, business, and the media. As a result, the Saban Forum is a seminal event, generating new ideas and helping shape the future of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
The Saban Forum has hosted many distinguished leaders in previous years, including President Barack Obama, President William J. Clinton, President George W. Bush, Vice President Joe Biden, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Minister of Economy Naftali Bennet, HM King Abdullah of Jordan, President Shimon Peres, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, and Secretaries of State John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice, and Henry Kissinger.

Punta Arenas, southern Chile.
Hostal de la Avenida can be seen thru the Lenga trees.
Nothofagus pumilio (lenga beech in Mapuche language) is a deciduous tree or shrub in the Nothofagaceae family that is native to the southern Andes range, in the temperate forests of Chile and Argentina to Tierra del Fuego, from 35° to 56° South latitude. This tree is in the same genus as the coihue. It regenerates easily after fires. The wood is of good quality, moderate durability, and is easy to work with. It is used in furniture, shingles and construction and sometimes as a substitute for American black cherry in the manufacturing of cabinets.
The lenga beech can be found in the Torres del Paine National Park, Tierra del Fuego National Park, Los Alerces National Park and Nahuel Huapi National Park among other places. In its southerly range it occurs in dense stands as far south as Navarino Island. It grows in areas with low temperatures and abundant snow; therefore, in the north half of its distribution it is found only in the Andes Range and at sea level on its southernmost natural environment. It tolerates temperatures −30 °C (−22 °F) and lower, and frosts all seasons of the year.

Kerala orders probe into religious conversion
By Indo Asian News Service | IANS – Sun 21 Dec, 2014
Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 21 (IANS) A report about 35 people getting converted to Hinduism Sunday would be probed by a senior police official, Kerala Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala said.
The conversion reportedly took place Sunday morning in Alappuzha and Kollam districts.
In Alappuzha, members of eight Christian families - a total of 30 people - reportedly embraced Hinduism at a temple function organised by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).
In Kollam, there were five people who reportedly became Hindus.
Additional Director General of Police A. Hemachandran has been asked to probe the matter and submit a report, Chennithala told reporters here Sunday.
"He will look into whether any law was violated," he said.
The VHP, meanwhile, said all those who became Hindus Sunday decided to convert on their own, and all the organisation did was to prepare the stage for it.
Reports said another 300 people in Alappuzha have expressed their desire to embrace Hinduism, and the conversion ceremony was likely to take place on Christmas day.
Bharatiya Janata Party president Amit Shah, who was in the state Saturday, said his party was against forced religious conversion.
Communist Party of India-Marxist state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan, who is currently in Delhi to take part in the politburo meeting, alleged that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was behind Sunday's conversions.
In Kerala, Hindus comprise more than 50 percent of the 32 million population, followed by Muslims with 24 percent while Christians occupy the third place with 22 percent.

Flying Handkerchief (Papilio dardanus)
This was one of the several spots it chose to oviposit on the citrus tree. It carefully examined potential locations and then settled for suitable ones.
It laid eggs all over the tree; up, down, within and without.
All the while, I waited for it to get in a good distance for a shot. I followed slowly when it moves on, or stay still and try to blend into the environment. I imagined it would mistake me for citrus and then...
I lost it several times though, only to discover it moments later still on its business on the tree.
