Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Don Pancho Benidorm
Best hotel in benidorm
My wife and i have stayed at the don pancho three times now and rate it as one of the best hotels in benidorm if not the best, rooms are very comfy, foods fantastic, staff are very freindly, and the location is perfect. you wont be disapointed.
Very Nice. Highly reccommended. Not too noisy!
Excellent location.Near to beach AND shops! I AM a shopaholic. I was very content here. They stay open late! All rooms seaview although sky scrapers partially block view! Heavenly heated pool until 15th September when they turn heating off. Boy, could you notice the difference! Nice and private as pool area is up one level. Lovely food. English brekkies AND teabags!! Very nice rooms. Lovely clean en-suite with hairdryer. No tea/coffee making facilities though.Pleasant staff. Old town NOT to be missed especially at night.Cleaner, better beaches than Marbella!Pleasantly surprised.Don Panchos perhaps not so suitable for young children that need a lot of constant entertaining.Go to Flamingo Oasis but you WON'T be near to the beach, old town or main shops.
The best
We have stayed at Don Pancho three times , all for Xmas. Excellent food, rooms , staff all round. Loved it , wont stay anywhere else when going to Benidorm
Don pancho - best hotel ever

Excellent Hotel - Brilliant HoneymoonJune 2002
Stayed here on honeymoon 2 years ago. Brilliant hotel TOP CLASS all round. Will Be Back!!!!!!!!
Amazing holiday
This was the best hotel i have stayed in in Spain.The best thing was the service and the attitude of the staff.The dining room was spacious and the food was excellent. The hotel had a lot of Spanish guests which I think were regular patrons.The worst thing was the size of the pool. Also the rooms were relatively small but beautifully presented.The entertainment was live and entertaining! You will enjoy a holiday at the Don Pancho
Winter vacation in Benidorm, Excellent Hotel Don Pancho

Cruise ship on terra firma
we have been benidorm fanatics from the late seventies, have used most four star hotels, in the resort. our favorite hotel was the Selomar, good hotel and close to the beach. However a friend advised the DOM PANCHO five seasons ago. WE booked the DOM PANCHO, was amazed at the quality of this hotel . food terrific, service at all levels perfect, evening entertainment, very classy. ALL IN ALL THE VERY BEST IN THE RESORT The hotel s rooms all face seaward, it is close to levante beach, and in the centre of all the nightlife. It would be very difficult to find a better hotel in the resort. colin &eva fisher.

Day ? Ondara
Our second pilgrimage is over, A very different experience, the good and the bad, the heat, cold and incessant at times rain. The quite often loneliness of being just 3 for kilometre after kilometre. The lack of watering holes and accommodation, even when found could be freezing. But... The amazing places - Fatima, Tomar, Coimbra, Porto, Rondella, Ponte Vendra, to mention a few. The wonderful cheap food and wine in Portugal. We certainly intend to return soon and enjoy at ...
Trip to Benidorm
... at a couple of bars on the way back, so all in all a lovely afternoon and the place was absolutely heaving.
We're pleased we've been, but we're moving straight on, to try and beat the rain.
Took a lovely picture of a sandcastle work of art (we've seen similar before, but this was spectacular) and Penny took a photo of the view she would like to remember, mountains rather than the ...
A visit to Benidorm
... that it was very strange. I also saw a rock in the middle of the sea which reminded me of a sinking ship. We walked up to the end of the beach. At the end, there was a tiny beach that had no waves but it was guarded by a lifeguard. I didn't understand why that beach even needed a lifeguard. We walked up to point where I could see lots of tall buildings. We went ...
Beach, beach, Beach!
... a tram going past the beach every once in the while. The water temperature was quite warm, So I was able to stay in the water for quite a long time. Luckily, it wasn't windy, so dad and I were able to play soccer on the beach. When we got hot playing soccer, we jumped back into the water. There were many fish in the water. The most of them were a decent size. I was so exited and tried to catch one but it ...
A visit to Alicante
"The sky is nice and clear..." I thought while Mum, Mitsuki and I were walking to a tram stop. Today we decided to have a day trip to Alicante. It was the closest city from where we are staying. On the way in to Alicante, we saw the beach that we tried to get to yesterday. It was very long sandy beach along the side of the tram track. There were a sand soccer pitch and a few basketball court on that beach. I saw more high rises when we were getting closer to ...

It is generally assumed that the digital revolution will spell the end for print journalism. Newspaper sales are in terminal decline as an increasing number of readers turn to websites, smartphones, and social media for their news and entertainment. However, while the internet may eventually kill off modern-day newspapers, it has managed to breathe new life into their ancestors.
Andrew Thorpe's fourth edition of A History of the British Labour Party provides a much needed update to what has become one of the leading volumes on the Labour Party since its first edition in 1997. The book, spanning 412 pages, provides an engaging read into the history of the Labour Party.
Jane Dawson's new biography of the Scottish Reformer John Knox is titled simply John Knox. The eschewal of a subtitle is an indication of the ambition of a work which has already been hailed as definitive. This is a biography of the entire man, not a facet of his life or thought.
In August 1569, Queen Elizabeth I roundly rebuked James Stewart, earl of Moray, then regent to the three-year-old James VI, for presuming that 'ther were any equalitie … betwixt us and yow' (p. 232).
In The Formation of the English Kingdom in the Tenth Century, George Molyneaux investigates how territories under the dominion of the Cerdicing kings of Wessex developed into a clearly defined and conquerable kingdom. The book's fundamental argument is that the period 871 through 1066 cannot be treated as a cohesive block of history.
Exploring Big Historical Data: The Historian's Macroscope / Shawn Graham, Ian Milligan, Scott Weingart
For the past decade, digital history students have really only had one book upon which to draw to introduce them to the field: Dan Cohen and Roy Rosenzweig's 2005 Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web.(1) The book continues to appear on nearly every 'digital history' syllabus in the English-speaking world.
The Ottoman Endgame: War, Revolution and the Making of the Modern Middle East, 1908-1923 / Sean McMeekin
This is a curate's egg book, good in parts but distinctly not in others.
Peter Webster's Archbishop Ramsey: the Shape of the Church is the best introduction to Michael Ramsey's archiepiscopacy at Canterbury currently available, and should be read by everyone interested in the state of the Church of England in the 1960s.
It was hardly to be expected that the sesquicentennial might come and go without the Civil War's most preeminent historian offering his thoughts on the subject, and James McPherson has not let us down. Not that The War that Forged a Nation is in any direct sense a comment on or reaction to the sesquicentennial; it is neither.
The study of early modern English Catholicism has continued to grow in interest over recent years, stimulated by a rise in publications analysing the impact of political events upon the lives of English Catholics, the early modern Catholicism conferences that have been held at Durham since 2013, alongside the re-branding of the former Recusant History Journal, now known as the Brit

That social media marketing influence - 23 May 2016
[Leigh Andrews] This week we touch on the latest social media marketing trends, their potential impact on your personal relationships, the potential advertising impact of the SABC's new local music radio mandate and how to get out of a creative rut... Firstly, Chiara di Rago explains why you should care about influencer marketing - the key reason being that real people make your brand the talking point of their conversations, in an engaging and credible way. Switching to a topic that dominated social media last week, Rose Setshoge explores just how commercial the new SABC radio '90% local music' mandate is, especially as all 18 stations are required to stick to the quota policy, which may end up in a loss of individual station flavour that impacts on advertising spread. Aimeé Serrão says there are always two sides of the same coin when it comes to social media, particularly when it starts affecting personal relationships. Lastly, with Loeries® Creative WeekTM Durban looming ever closer, we have a creative conversation with communication design category jury president on her best way to get out of a creativity rut as well as what we can do to tip the gender balance scales in advertising. Important industry reads to get you off to a motivated week! read more

Celebrating African creativity with new research currency - 3 May 2016
[Leigh Andrews] Mike Broom asks where marketing research is going, particularly when you factor in the weak economy, budget cuts and greater complexity and the complexity of modern life in general. Broom says the bottom line of marketing research is still to gain better understanding of consumers. In this light, Terry Murphy says the new OOH measurement currency should bring even more growth to the outdoor advertising industry, particularly based on how the introduction of similar currencies has impacted other countries. We also put on our fun hats to go further Behind the Loeries 2016 with Suhana Gordhan, creative director at FCB Africa and newly nominated Loeries committee and board member. read more

Haiti Awaits Aid As Crews Search For Survivors
Aid from more than a dozen countries was on its way to Haiti on Wednesday night as rescue workers combed the capital of the Caribbean nation for survivors of a massive earthquake.
The U.S. State Department said an initial contingent of 2,000 Marines could be deployed to the quake-ravaged country within the next few days to either help with emergency aid distribution or enforce law and order in conjunction with U.N. peacekeepers already there. At least one 72-member civilian search-and-rescue team was already on the ground.

Rescue workers searched feverishly for people trapped in the ruins of collapsed buildings, trying to beat a clock that could spell life or death. Experts say survival is most likely if victims are found with 72 hours.
"Obviously, this is a tragedy of historic proportions for Haiti," said U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. "Clearly, the death toll will be quite significant."
Most of the damage was confined to the capital, Port-au-Prince, where bodies piled up on the street.
Haitian President Rene Preval wouldn't attempt to estimate the number of dead, saying he had heard a broad range of figures from 30,000 to 100,000. "Let's say that it's too early now to give a number," he said in an interview with CNN.

U.S. Missionary In Haiti Recounts Earthquake
U.N. Spokesman: Destruction In Haiti 'Overwhelming'
"If I look beyond the walls of the U.N. compound, there are bodies on the road, there are destroyed buildings, there are crashed cars," David Wimhurst, spokesman for the peacekeeping force, told NPR. "If you go out into the city, the situation just gets worse and worse."
The International Red Cross estimated that up to one-third of Haiti's 9 million residents may need emergency aid, although the worst damage was centered in the densely populated capital, home to at least 2 million people.
"Parliament has collapsed. The tax office has collapsed. Schools have collapsed. Hospitals have collapsed," Preval told the Miami Herald on Wednesday. "There are a lot of schools that have a lot of dead people in them."
Even the main prison in the capital crumbled, "and there are reports of escaped inmates," U.N. spokeswoman Elisabeth Byrs said from the organization's humanitarian headquarters in Geneva.
Bracing for the casualties, relief groups scrambled to contact their staff members and arrange for international aid deliveries. The U.S. government mobilized aircraft, Coast Guard cutters and a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier to deliver humanitarian assistance.
Haitian officials, clearly overwhelmed, offered shocking estimates of how high the death toll could eventually go. Haiti's prime minister, Jean-Max Bellerive, told CNN that it could be "well over 100,000," while leading Sen. Youri Latortue told The Associated Press that 500,000 people could be dead. Both acknowledged they have no way of knowing.
"We don't yet have a complete estimate of how many people have lost their homes, let alone their lives," the U.N.'s Wimhurst said. "Numbers still can't be fathomed, but they're vast. The destruction is really extremely overwhelming."
The Two-Way Blog
In a bit of good news, the airport in Port-au-Prince was functioning, according to U.S. and U.N. officials, and aid flights had already landed Wednesday.
President Obama called the disaster "truly heart-wrenching" and promised a "swift, coordinated and aggressive effort" to save lives and deliver aid to Haiti.
"For a country and a people who are no strangers to hardship and suffering, this tragedy seems especially cruel and incomprehensible," said Obama, who added that relief efforts would be "complex and challenging."
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cut short a trip to the Pacific to oversee the Haiti effort. Clinton said the U.S. is also trying to set up a communications capability for the Haitian government. Clinton was in Hawaii on Wednesday and was set to fly to Papua, New Guinea; New Zealand, and Australia.
The first quake hit at 4:53 p.m. Tuesday, just as darkness was falling on Haiti. After a night punctuated by aftershocks, Haitians woke up to a capital city covered in dust and debris.
Residents piled bodies along the rubble-choked streets, covering the corpses with sheets. The body of Port-au-Prince's Roman Catholic archbishop, Joseph Serge Miot, was found in the ruins of his office.
Relief Efforts Under Way
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said relief efforts were in the earliest stages.
"Initial reconnaissance and aerial assessments have been undertaken," he said. "Buildings and infrastructure were heavily damaged throughout the capital. Basic services such as water and electricity have collapsed almost entirely. ... Medical facilities have been inundated with injured."
But efforts to treat the wounded will be hampered by the destruction. Doctors Without Borders, an international aid group, reported that all three of its health facilities were damaged so heavily that they are out of commission.
"The best we can offer now is first-aid care and stabilization," said Paul McPhun, part of the group's emergency management team in Port-au-Prince. "We don't have the infrastructure to support surgery right now."
At a destroyed four-story apartment building, a girl of about 16 stood atop a car trying to peer inside while several men pulled at a foot sticking from rubble. The girl said her family was inside.
"The hospitals cannot handle all these victims," Dr. Louis-Gerard Gilles, a former senator, said as he helped survivors. "Haiti needs to pray. We all need to pray together."
Magalie Boyer, a staffer for World Vision, an international aid group, was in the capital during the quake.
"Port-au Prince is a city of walls, and you know the walls came tumbling down around the World Vision office," she told NPR. "Cars were stuck and could not get anywhere. Trees fell. A couple of buildings collapsed. Roofs were no longer horizontal. There were extensive signs of damage."
The reports trickling in offered alarming hints about the extent of the damage to one of the world's poorest nations. Rickety shantytowns lay in ruins, while the ornate presidential residence, the National Palace — one of the more substantial buildings in the capital — crumbled.
"There are people injured in the palace," Fritz Longchamp, the building's executive director, told the Miami Herald. "I'm calling for help and medical assistance for them."
Among the facilities being used to treat the injured was the U.S. Naval Hospital at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Julie Oliveri, a spokesman for the Armed Forces Blood Program, told NPR that the hospital put out an urgent request for blood products after some patients from a damaged Haitian hospital were brought to the naval facility.
Deaths, Damage At U.N. Mission
The headquarters of the United Nations peacekeeping mission also collapsed. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said 16 U.N. personnel were confirmed dead: 11 Brazilian peacekeepers and five international police officers — three from Jordan and one each from Chad and Argentina.
U.N. officials said 56 others were injured. Seven who were seriously hurt were evacuated from the country, they said.
"Many continue to be trapped inside U.N. headquarters and other buildings," said Ban, noting that includes the U.N.'s mission chief, Hedi Annabi, and his chief deputy, Luis Carlos da Costa. "Other peacekeepers and civilian staff from many member states remain unaccounted for."
"It is our estimate that around hundreds of people were still working inside the building," Ban said. "Therefore it will be in the range of 100 to 150 that I'm quite concerned about."
Elsewhere in Port-au-Prince, a young American aid worker was trapped for about 10 hours under the rubble of her mission house before she was rescued by her husband, who told CBS' The Early Show that he drove 100 miles to the capital to find her after he learned of the quake.
Frank Thorp said he dug for more than an hour to free his wife, Jillian, and a co-worker, from under about a foot of concrete.
The earthquake hit near the end of the regular workday. Centered only 10 miles away from the capital, it was the strongest earthquake since 1770 in what is now Haiti, according to Kristin Marano, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey.
It was a shallow quake, only about six miles deep. Thomas Jordan, head of the Southern California Earthquake Center, says the temblor started along a fault that lies between two giant tectonic plates: the Caribbean and North American plates.
U.S. diplomats in Port-au-Prince were still trying to get a handle on the scale of the disaster.
Crowley, the State Department spokesman, said about 45,000 Americans live in Haiti. He said officials are of aware of three deaths, but he acknowledged that the number could grow. He said the State Department is going through the process of getting positive identification on the victims and notifying next of kin. The State Department also ordered the departure of about 80 nonessential embassy staffers and family members. The U.S. Embassy had no confirmed reports of any deaths.
Obama named Rajiv Shah, the administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, to coordinate to coordinate American relief efforts. The first USAID team of experts arrived Wednesday afternoon. Search-and-rescue teams from Virginia, Florida and California were also en route.
Haiti will need all the help it can get. Most of Haiti's 9 million people are desperately poor, and the country has been wracked by years of political instability.
Decades of violence culminated in a bloody rebellion in 2004 that prompted the deployment of a U.N. peacekeeping force that now includes 7,000 troops and an additional 2,000 international police.
Crime has since decreased somewhat, owing to the presence of the U.N. troops and the rebuilding of the country's own police force.
But Haiti has limited capacity to address such a widespread disaster.
Byrs, the U.N. spokeswoman, said the agency's humanitarian office was working with independent aid agency Telecoms Sans Frontieres to get phone lines working again — a key element in organizing relief efforts.
A number of governments from Latin America to Europe and Asia pledged to send search-and-rescue teams and to deliver relief supplies. One of the first teams expected to arrive in Haiti comprises 37 search-and-rescue specialists from Iceland, along with 10 tons of rescue equipment.
Haitians living outside the country frantically tried to contact relatives on the island throughout the night.
Edwidge Danticat, an award-winning Haitian-American author, has been unable to contact relatives in Haiti. She sat with family and friends at her home in Miami, looking for news on the Internet and watching TV news reports.
"You want to go there, but you just have to wait," she said. "Life is already so fragile in Haiti, and to have this on such a massive scale, it's unimaginable how the country will be able to recover from this."

are acknowledged, affirmed and commemorated.
| Our Mission:
The FReeper Foxhole is dedicated to Veterans of our Nation's military forces and to others who are affected in their relationships with Veterans.
In the FReeper Foxhole, Veterans or their family members should feel free to address their specific circumstances or whatever issues concern them in an atmosphere of peace, understanding, brotherhood and support.
The FReeper Foxhole hopes to share with it's readers an open forum where we can learn about and discuss military history, military news and other topics of concern or interest to our readers be they Veteran's, Current Duty or anyone interested in what we have to offer.
If the Foxhole makes someone appreciate, even a little, what others have sacrificed for us, then it has accomplished one of it's missions.
We hope the Foxhole in some small way helps us to remember and honor those who came before us.
Combat Engineers are builders by trade, but in Korea they also served as infantrymen.
Three of them earned the Medal of Honor posthumously - Korean War
In Korea, one side or the other seemed always in forceful advance--or hasty retreat. Roads, bridges and other infrastructure that one day served an attacking U.S. Army might the next day merit destruction to slow a pursuing enemy. Building, demolition and rebuilding became daily routine, and invariably these tasks fell to the Army's combat engineers.
But these men were much more than contractors in uniform. Never far from their bulldozers and blasting caps were the rifles and grenades that might at any moment turn them from engineers into infantrymen. Over and over, combat conditions led engineers to fight bravely, hit the enemy hard and pay the ultimate price. No fewer than three engineers received the Medal of Honor for battlefield heroism.
Engineers in Korea had two main tasks--get American troops and materiel to where they were needed and frustrate similar enemy movements whenever possible. Combat engineers built roads through rice paddies and over mountain passes, often under extreme weather conditions and enemy fire.
"One road we built over a mountain took so much dynamite that we called it Demolition Drive," recalls Dan Teoro of the 2nd Engineers. They also constructed scores of bridges over the largest rivers in Korea--including five separate spannings of the Han and a 2,400-foot railroad-ready crossing of the Taedong.
More than once, engineers built roads and bridges to facilitate an American advance only to destroy those same structures later during a withdrawal. "It didn't always seem to make much sense, but that's what the Army needed" says Ray Miller of the 62nd Engineers.
In their "spare" time, the engineers built airstrips and training facilities, assisted with the landing at Inchon, created sewage and drainage systems, rehabilitated war-torn railroads and buildings, and set up water towers and POW camps. One engineering unit established a telephone exchange. Another built a 500-bed, 62-building hospital campus. Yet another constructed a Korean "Boys Town" for war orphans. And for Christmas 1953, engineers even built a nativity scene.
Ready to Fight
But these men were trained for combat as well as construction. "We were always ready to fight" says Teoro. "When a big bunch of Chinese would come in, the infantry needed all the help they could get."
In July 1950, the 2nd Engineers helped defend Yongsan, not far from Pusan. In August, the 14th Engineers fought as infantry on the Naktong River line. When the push north came in September, the 3rd Engineers were in the thick of the fighting. And so it went throughout the war--engineers building one moment and fighting the next.
In September 1950, Pfc. Melvin Brown (8th Engineers) showed just how good an engineer could be at fighting. Under attack by North Korean troops at Kasan, Brown found himself atop a 50-foot wall that protected the American position. With an automatic rifle, he raked the attackers with deadly accuracy. When his ammunition ran out, he lobbed grenades into the advancing enemy at the base of the wall, and when his own grenades were gone, other GIs began tossing him theirs.
With the grenade supply exhausted and the attackers still trying to come over the wall, Brown held his position, smashing each enemy in turn with a shovel as the attacker climbed to the top of the wall. Eventually, however, a shovel was no match for bullets, and Brown was killed.
Sometimes engineers served as the final rear guard, holding a road or bridge open in the face of advancing enemy while other GIs and artillery withdrew.
In July 1950, the 3rd Engineers were the last U.S. soldiers to cross the Kum River during the brief Allied defense of that line.
And in November, the 2nd Engineers held off attacking Chinese troops while elements of the U.S. 8th Army withdrew from the Pyongyang region of North Korea. Once the last American artillery units had passed safely southward, the engineers pulled out, too, but with tremendous casualties. When the battalion eventually regrouped, only 266 of its original 977 men remained.
Fighting Withdrawal
During another American withdrawal--from Taejon in July 1950--Sgt. George Libby (3rd Engineers) became the sole uninjured survivor of an enemy attack on a troop truck. Hailing a passing artillery tractor, Libby helped several wounded aboard.
Then, as this makeshift ambulance lumbered down the road--stopping repeatedly to load more wounded--he positioned himself between the driver and the intense enemy fire. Though wounded almost immediately, Libby continued to blaze away at the enemy as the vehicle broke through hostile roadblocks.
When multiple wounds made it impossible for him to fire any longer, he used his body to shield the driver. Eventually, the tractor and its precious cargo broke free of the enemy, but Libby later died from his wounds.
Cpl. Dan Schoonover was another hero engineer. In July 1953, Schoonover (13th Engineers) was in charge of a demolition squad working with an infantry company to dislodge the enemy from Pork Chop Hill. When hostile fire prevented his men from performing their engineering job, Schoonover led them, as a rifle squad, up the steep hill.
For the rest of that day and into the next, he made victory his personal goal, killing an untallied number of enemy with rifle, pistol, grenades and machine gun. Even when the infantry company was relieved, Schoonover remained on the hill to fight. He was eventually killed while mowing down attacking troops with an automatic rifle.
Brown, Libby and Schoonover all received the Medal of Honor--posthumously--for their bravery.
In all, engineering units in Korea suffered 2,706 battle casualties, including 850 battlefield deaths.
But even when the war ended, the engineers' work did not. In August 1954, the 84th Engineers sculpted two terraces on a hillside just north of the Imjin River, and in two weeks created a miniature city there. With great solemnity, the bodies of American war dead were brought to this lonely place and afforded the respect and dignity they deserved.
The Navy had its own version of combat engineers--the Seabees. Created during World War II, the Seabees became a potent force in Korea, too, as their strength grew from 3,300 to 14,000 men during the war. Although officially called "amphibious construction battalions," the Seabees operated wherever they were needed and quickly became known for their daring, can-do approach to solving problems.
Seabees saw their first Korean action in September 1950 at Inchon, where they succeeded in building a flexible, floating causeway from ship to shore--despite heavy enemy fire, swift currents and 30-foot tides.
Then, with American troops and materiel bottlenecked at the port, a handful of Seabees sneaked through enemy lines. They commandeered a pair of locomotives abandoned by the North Koreans and triumphantly braved enemy fire to deliver the engines to the Army for moving men and supplies inland.
Another Seabee specialty was airfield construction and repair. In 1952, waves of Navy planes daily attacked targets inland from the North Korean port of Wonsan. Many of the aircraft took hits, often forcing the pilots to choose between ditching at sea or landing in enemy territory.
In 16 days, the Seabees built an emergency airstrip on Yo Do Island in Wonsan Harbor, under the very nose--and pounding fire--of the enemy. Within hours after the 2,400-foot runway was complete, seven U.S. planes had made emergency landings.
Looks like not posting has made me kind of rusty. Sorry for the error of the MOH medal not showing and for using the 20th's Engineer Brigade unit patch when none of these guys was in the 20th.
I'm going back into retirement!
Nein. Es ist verboten.
SEMI-retirement is both acceptable and well-earned.
NOBODY is ever truly "retired" until they're dead.
Your birdstore couldn't yet withstand your demise, nor can we Foxholers. There's also your partner in birdcrime to consider!
I'm TRYING to say that I and many others are grateful for, and appreciate, all the work you have done, and are doing , for this little corner of FR, history, and the wealth of information dispersed by this (these) thread(s)
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for showing just how minor and insignificant my worries really are.
My reply was delayed (for 4 minutes) for no reason *I* can think of, so here's what I sent to the admin mod and Jimrob.
It's one thing to monitor comments to potentially controversial threads by newbies, or even threads BY newbies and the comments derived therefrom.
However, I am somewhat affronted by the unwarranted delay in *allowing* my thanks to "snip" (my personal nick for her).
Perhaps this may be related to my attempt earlier today at responding to (and factually refuting ALL) the arguments of an attempted troll (PRE-ZOT, the thread lasted less than the time it took to refute his 3000+ word essay, which I had well in hand, and the dismissal was far better constructed than his ATTACK on everything that makes our society great).
The fact remains that my mere thank-you note HAD TO BE VETTED by one of the moderators in order to be posted.
I am truly disappointed in you. I thought that a longtime supporting member and hardcore conservative (though I AM Canadian) could post with MINIMAL interference by "the powers that be".
I was merely trying to THANK "snippy_about_it" for her hard work and dedication in research, collation, amalgamation and presentation of the "Freeper Foxhole" threads.
I really AM having a bad day. I'll STFU now. DANG it's annoying when stuff hits the fan....
The memory of our three lads, so gallant and brave, so willing to do their whole duty and more when needed should be held in our hearts forever.
SAM mentioned Combat Engineers blowing bridges far behind enemy lines during the Ardennes Offensive, the Bulge. A most excellent story that must be, a story with which I am unfamiliar. To my chagrin.
The last image before the beginning of the SeaBee section is of a Cav fellow removing the detonators from anti-tank mines based on a British design. Got some pictures somewhere, where I don't know! I don't think they are actual British mines because they seem too big. Very possible they are Russian take-offs on the British units.
The can contains jellied nitroglycerin and the detonator slips under the raised flat plate on the top of the can (as our guy is holding the mine). The detonator in the picture seems to be a conventional wired blasting cap. There was a special crushing fired detonator used in WWII made of glass tubing with sealed ends and containing sulfuric acid with the whole thing wrapped and soldered into lead foil. When the glass was broken sulfuric acid escaped and ignited a pellet of stuff like the white tip of kitchen matches, then black powder, and then mercury fulminate.
The British would lay them by the truckload in front of their barbed wire going out for hundreds of yards within hours of occuping the postion. Americans scoffed but this system worked very well. The mine was designed to blow the track off of a tank and was very rarely buried.
snippy's back, if only for the moment :-)
Off to work I go, have a maint. shutdown the nest few days, busy, busy.

Good morning Snippy, Sam and every one.
Good Monday morning. Good to see you guys again.
Thanks for the thread.

Beware Of A Judgmental Spirit!
A young married man began going to a pornography store. When his parents learned of this, they gently and tactfully confronted him, but made no accusations. The son responded with anger and said that he saw no harm in what he was doing. He accused his parents of being judgmental. With broken hearts they had to stand by and watch him as he left his wife and family, lost his job, and eventually ruined his life.
Many people today would say that his parents had no right to imply that he was doing wrong. They may even quote Jesus' words: "Judge not, that you be not judged" (Matthew 7:1).
But the Bible makes it clear that we are responsible to humbly confront fellow believers when we see them caught in sin (Galatians 6:1-2). These parents were lovingly doing just that.
Jesus wasn't saying we shouldn't confront sin. He was saying we must be very careful in making judgments. Paul wrote that love thinks no evil (1 Corinthians 13:5). We must give others the benefit of the doubt, recognizing our own limitations. And we must reject any feeling of spiritual superiority, lest we also fall into sin.
Confronting someone is a serious responsibility. Exercise it carefully, and always beware of judging. Herb Vander Lugt
Judge yourself before you judge another.
I'm in.
Didn't the Seabees or Army Corps of Engineers use the capsized hull of a freighter as a jetty and built a dock on it someplace?
Howdy, PE. Thanks for the Flag-o-gram.

Hey! What's wrong with the 20th!!
Excellent read and another topic that could only be learned in the Foxhole.
God bless . . .
If you get a chance, read "Those Damned Engineers". HArd book to find.
As long as there have been armies, engineers have provided critical support with both construction and demolition.
Beside the Dead Sea in Israel, one can still climb to the mountain redoubt of Masada, where Jewish Zealots made their last stand against Rome in AD 73, and when their fortress was at last breached, chose death over surrender. The fortress still stands as an Israeli monument to the spirit of its defenders.
Alongside the mountain stands another monument in the form of an earthen ramp built by engineers of Roman Legio X--with the help of thousands of laboring prisoners--to allow siege equipment and troops to reach the heights and breach the walls. From the Romans' perspective, the suicide pact at Masada was of secondary importance to their demonstrating to all within the empire that nobody who challenged Rome would escape reprisal. On a more universal military note, the ramp and the remains of the Roman camps beside Masada are among the oldest monuments to a branch of service that has often made the difference between victory and defeat--the engineers.
This issue of Military History includes two articles that deal with engineers. The "Weaponry" department gives a thumbnail history of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which has left behind a few lasting legacies of its own, including the Alcan Highway and the Panama Canal. The interview focuses on their U.S. Navy cousins, the construction battalions--which my father and a good many other Seabee veterans will undoubtedly greet with cries of "It's about time!"
When Paul Guttman enlisted in the Navy in 1942, the recruiter spoke glowingly of a newly formed elite unit called the Seabees. "That sounds great," Dad said. "What do they do?"
The recruiter hadn't the foggiest idea. "But they're the Seabees," he insisted, as if the very name should speak for them. Hardly the first or last recruit to succumb to a good song and dance, Dad signed up. During the next two years, he saw the Seabees perform feats throughout the Pacific that would ensure that in the future, their very name would speak for them.
"At Camp Bradford, the amphibious Marine base at Little Creek, Va., I took my training," Dad recalled, "and I was in an eight-man tent." There were also Marines at the base, mostly teenagers, their heads shaved nearly bald, and they referred to Guttman--then 22 years old--as the "Old Man." Most of the Seabees, in contrast, were men of the world, at least five years Dad's senior. "Some were in their 50s or even 60s," he recalled, "and these guys all called me 'Kid.'"
Trained as a camouflage specialist, Dad entered combat with the 59th Construction Battalion, but by early 1944 he had taken on a new task as a combat photographer. Whenever he was assigned to an island, however, Dad sought out the Seabees. "If I wanted a good night's sleep or a good meal or a shower or some booze, they were the guys to hook up with. They were the greatest dog-robbers in the world. They'd rig a windmill to work a pump to provide hot and cold running water. They'd steal inner tubes from trucks, cut them into strips and stretch them across a framework to make a pretty good mattress. There was always someone from West Virginia who knew how to build a still--practically anything that fermented would go into it."
Beside those prosaic accomplishments, the Seabees left behind monuments throughout the Pacific in the form of bases, installations and airfields, including the mammoth Boeing B-29 air base on Tinian. They could also fight when they had to--and their underwater demolition teams, which saved many a Marine landing from slaughter by eliminating countless beach obstacles, later evolved into the sea-air-land or "Seal" teams of today.
As for the Seabees' U.S. Army engineer colleagues' ability to be destructive as well as creative, arguably the best testimonial came during the Battle of the Bulge on December 18, 1944, when German SS Lt. Col. Joachim Peiper's armored spearhead closed on Trois-Ponts, only to see its bridges--and his hopes of driving on to Liège and Antwerp--blow up in his face one by one. Peiper was heard to mutter, "Those damned engineers!" The 291st Combat Engineer Battalion, to be exact.
Add their names, and many more, to the men who built the castles and forts, and the sappers who devised ways to penetrate them. From the Persians who laid a pontoon bridge across the Hellespont for King Xerxes, to the Viet Cong who dug their underground tunnel complex right under the U.S. base at Cu Chi; from Sebastien le Prestre de Vauban to Thaddeusz Kosciuszko to Captain Robert E. Lee (during the Mexican War in 1847), engineers have played a role in warfare that is too often taken for granted by other fighting men, who might often have quipped, like wartime cartoonist Bill Mauldin's Willie and Joe: "Yer lucky--yer learnin' a trade."
IIRC, The hull of one of the battleships sunk at Pearl Harbor was used to build a dock.
Thank you Don W. You are very sweet and kind.
Well you don't have to get snippy about it! LOL. You poor thing. I wake up like this lots of mornings. Grrrr.
Good morning Iris. Trying to get any job done while trying to stay alive in a war zone has got to be tough.
Good morning EGC.
Thanks alfa6. I've got to head out of here too. I'll check back in when I get to work.
We took our dog out to the lake yesterday. He had a great time. He really loves the water.
We've had to take him off of the bones last week. He'd been having problems digesting some food. Vets recmommend not giving dogs bones.
Weather's been nice here. Storms in the forecast for later this week.

The latest issue?
In some book somewhere in my dusty collection of tomes, there is a pic from the Korean War where either the Seabees or Army Corps of Engineers used a 'sunk previously' freighter as a harbor expedient jetty to build on.
Now I just have to find the book!
Also has pics of pilots whose helmets barely stopped rifle rounds (Mustang pilots in Korea early on, double layer K-Pot style helmet) and one guy stuck a cleaning rod straight through the holes.
Going through a photo album, I discovered he had been in Korea during that war. His uniform colar had LT bars and one of these:
After that Msdrby pulled a display case out of the closet which had a bunch of pins, devices etc. all surrounding one of these:
I'm sensing some interesting family history here. ;-)
hi miss Feather
Bittygirl has been up to about 100.5. She has some kind of cold or virus. ;-(
Good morning Gail. How's the dating going?
Oh shoot, so sorry!!
HUGS to Bittygirl.
Good morning tex. You're welcome.
Oops I sent too fast.
Yesterday BG fell asleep during breakfast. She was eating freedom toast with syrup. When I woke her up, her cheek and hair was stuck to the plate. She was less than happy.
Thank you Mayor.
Ewwwwwwwwww, poor tiker. She has my sympathy.
SpankenTruppen Recruit of the Century.
Way cool about msdrby's family.

Dead old guy bump!
Sounds like something they would do. Can't think of anything specific.
Good morning.
I'm still waiting for the first performance of "Beard!".
Good morning feather.
Hi snippy, how's it going today??
Cold and damp here. Ugh. Typical weather for the East Coast.
LOL. I expect it's your fault anyway that I found the patch so familiar that I posted it.
Thanks for the history Valin. We look forward to it everyday. You know we are open 7 days a week but Monday still feels like Monday. Argggh.

Touring car racing excites fans in national series around the world. Europe has the World Touring Car Championship, Germany has DTM, Japan has Super GT and Australia has V8 Supercars, to name just a few of the standout examples. (Even NASCAR isn't far off the formula, although stock cars typically race on ovals where touring cars race on circuits.) The trouble is that a) not every country has its own touring car championship, and b) the cost of starting such a series or even entering a team can

José Ely de Miranda (8 August 1932 – 14 June 2015), commonly known as Zito, was a Brazilian footballer who played as a midfielder.
His club career was spent mostly in the service of Santos, captaining a side including Pelé to domestic and international successes. He was also part of the Brazilian squads which won the World Cup in 1958 and 1962.
After his retirement as a player, Zito remained at Santos as a director and youth coordinator, developing several young future international players.
Playing career[edit]
Born in Roseira, São Paulo, Zito joined Santos in 1952, after finishing his formation at hometown club Roseira FC, and spending two years at Taubaté.[1] He made his debut for Peixe on 29 June 1952 in a 3–1 friendly win against Madureira.[2]
Zito appeared regularly for Santos in the following 15 years, playing 733 games and scoring 57 goals. He was the captain of the Os Santásticos team of the late 1950s and 1960s, playing alongside Pelé, Pepe and other Brazilian stars.[3]
Zito was nicknamed Gerente (manager in Portuguese) by the media during his playing days, due to helping the manager Lula while outfields.[4] Despite missing the two last games of 1963 Intercontinental Cup due to an injury, he acted as Lula's assistant during both matches as his team won the second title in a row.[4]
Zito played his last match on 7 November 1967, a 5–0 win against a mix between Ferroviário and Fortaleza at the Estádio Presidente Vargas.[2]
At international level, he earned 52 caps for Brazil. He partnered Didi in midfield, and was part of the squad which won the 1958 FIFA World Cup Final against hosts Sweden; after starting the tournament as a reserve, he finished it as an undisputed starter.[5] In the 1962 edition in Chile, he was named in the Team of the Tournament.[3] In the final of that tournament, Zito headed Brazil into the lead as they came from behind to win 3–1 against Czechoslovakia with Pelé absent through injury.[6]
Life after football[edit]
After retiring Zito was a vice-president at Santos between 1978 and 1982. After one year away from the club, he was named director of football by president Milton Teixeira, but left the post in 1987. In 2000 he was named a youth coordinate, helping the club to promote youngsters Robinho and Diego to the first team.[7]
Zito was credited with bringing 11-year-old Neymar to the club in 2003.[3] With Gabriel, he was also the scout who saw the player and brought him to the club's youth system.[7]
Zito suffered from Alzheimer's disease and had memory lapses.[8] Following a stroke the year before, Zito died on 14 June 2015 aged 82, leaving Pelé and Zagallo as the last two living Brazilian veterans of the 1958 World Cup final.[3]

Coopers 12-min run
1. Warm up
2. Run as far as you can within 12 minutes. Should preferably be performed on a 400 m track.
3. Note how far you got and enter the distance, weight and gender in the calculator.
The 12 min run test is also known as the Cooper test. It was developed in the sixties as an easy tool to estimate VO2max in soldiers.
The validity of this test is quite good if you are accustomed to running. For people not used to running it can be difficult to administer the speed from start to end and also peripheral discomfort in the legs can limit performance rather than circulatory capacity.

You're so intelligent. You already know therefore considerably in relation to this topic, made me in my opinion imagine it from a lot of various
angles. Its like women and men don't seem to be interested except it
is something to do with Woman gaga! Your individual stuffs outstanding.
Always take care of it up!
My web site - http://Africanblue.tumblr.com/: http://Africanblue.tumblr.com/
My advice would be to try to balance your training, putting more emphasis on stamina/ endurance and less on strength. And it`s a common misunderstandin g that endurance has a lot to do with pulmonary capacity, when it`s actually your cardiovascular performance that`s the limiting factor. Even though it`s a little bit difficult to find the distribution data concerning the evaluation of Cooper test results, I guess a score that qualifies for "excellent" would put you in the upper 10th percentile, but that`s just speculation on my behalf. It might just as well mean the upper 5th percentile (It would be nice if the staff of the site could comment on this). Anyway, cutting the "excellent" mark is far from the capacity of an elite athlete, who would probably manage a VO2 max of 65+ ml/kg/min. The world record is held by nordic cross country skiers, achieveing 90+ ml/kg/min.
I.m a 44 year old male with wait to height ratio of 0.47, and a BMI of 22.7. I was very overweight and unfit for most of my 30s (BMI peaked at 31,2 ). I am so glad I have managed to turn things around in the last couple of years!
[Note: What is not taken into account is 1) wind speed = resistance (yes it's a factor even on a athletic track); 2) altitude; 3) temperature -- (now in my case these three factors were nominal to account for --- but were I say, to run in the mountains, this would not be a good calculator for such workouts)

A dead body has reportedly been recovered from a car that drove into a lake this afternoon in a Sandy Pointe neighborhood off Buckwalter Parkway.
Bluffton Police Chief David McAllister said the report of a death was true, and the incident outside town limits was being handled by county authorities.
The Bluffton Township Fire District responded at about 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. today to a call about a car going into the lake. Four firefighters went into the water but were unable to make a rescue, Capt. Randy Hunter, district spokesman, said tonight.

Okay I listed in the description it may or not be copyright but I asked why it not to be deleted I had left a message asking what is copyright and what isn't copyright I believe they haven't responded.
And why do you want me to reply on my own User: talk page?
I will try my best not to upload any copyright images.
Super Sintex
- Unless you have uploaded an account under a different username, I have never nominated any file you have uploaded for deletion. However, in general, to upload an image to Commons, you must demonstrate that the image is free to use. The most basic rule of thumb is this: If you got it off the internet, it is most likely copyrighted, and you most likely cannot upload it here. If you are not sure, such as appears to be the case above, then you can guarantee the image will be deleted. Some of the help notes posted above can aid you in understanding copyright, which is often an ugly thing to figure out.
- That all being said, and seeing as how you are already mad at me, I feel obliged to justify your anger. I have nominated Ghost Rider for speedy deletion on three points: First, it is out of this project's scope. Commons is not Wikipedia and does not host article content. Second, it is (perhaps ironically), a copyright violation. While Wikipedia content is licensed under a free Creative Commons license, you are obligated to credit those who crafted that article. And finally, because of the vandalism at the end. Thank you, Resolute (talk) 02:18, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Please experiment in the sandbox[edit]
Thanks for experimenting with the Commons. Your test on Commons:Administrators/Requests/Username:Super Sintex. I promise to stay up all night to caught crime (Vandals), rename misnamed images, delete unneeded article, ban anyone who breaks rules or circumvents any bans of any sorts worked, and it has been reverted or removed; please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Feel free to visit the community portal if you would like to learn more about contributing. Thank you!

{{Unblock| Okay if I have a new password a new computer and can make sure any more malicious edit are done why are you keeping the block upon instead of uplifting it? Are you implying that I'm lying? and are you stereotyping the "little brother did it" excuse? Believe or not he's not an immature 5 year old child, he's 14 year old who trolls and he's in huge trouble. Therefore you should withdraw your ban upon me.}} Thank you.

Receiving two cards on the same day from two friends who don't know each other could be considered coincidental, but when the cards turn out to be identical, there's cause to believe that something strange is going on. Maria McCall, owner of the Spice of Life, still finds it hard to believe. ''It was the strangest thing,'' she says. ''One friend is from York, and the other is from Greenville, and neither knows the other." Both cards were mailed April 14, and both arrived April 15. ''That was a good day to get them because that's a day you need to keep your sense of humor,'' says Mrs. McCall with a chuckle. And the cards were quite humorous. On the covers, they read: ''Good friends are like fat thighs ...'' On the inside, it continued: ''They always keep in touch.'' ''Now, what's the chance of someone getting the same card on the same day from two friends who don't know each other?'' wonders Mrs. McCall.
Open or not? Shelia Atkins of Inman boos Mary Black Urgent Care on Reidville Road in Spartanburg. Her son became ill at an evening ballgame, and she took him to the clinic. ''We arrived at 9:20 p.m., only to find a sign on the door that they could not accept any more patients. We were there 40 minutes before they were supposed to close,'' says Mrs. Atkins. ''I think that since the sign on the door says they close at 10, they should have to take patients until 10. After all, they are there to serve the public. By the way, we went to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center's urgent care and got the best service we could ask for.''
The minister was explaining the difference between fact and faith. ''That I am standing before you is fact,'' he said. ''That I am speaking to you is a fact,'' he continued. ''But,'' he said, ''it is only faith that makes me think anyone is listening.'' Where is it? ''I give up,'' declares Vernon Foster of Spartanburg, after noticing in recent coverage of the Spartanburg Public Library opening that the library is on North Church Street. ''It really must be located on North Church and not South Church as I had thought,'' he says. ''However, I have a little problem. I've got two books that are overdue, and the late charges keep mounting, and I've traveled North Church from Main north to the city limits and still can't find the library. Suppose it's hidden among those handsome new buildings we used to call Spartanburg General Hospital?''
Mark R. Ashbeck of Pacolet understands the woman's frustration over a robin that keeps attacking her windows. ''I had the same problem, but it was a woodpecker,'' he says, offering a solution. ''Just buy a couple of rubber snakes and hang them outside your windows for a couple of days. It worked for me.''
Quips a wife: ''After years together, my marriage still has passion. You ought to hear us argue.''
