    A man carrying two guns has been arrested at Euro Disney.

    Police have detained the armed man, aged 28, in Seine-et-Marne near Paris.

    His firearms, thought to be handguns, were concealed in a bag.

    Security staff alerted police at around midday after the man’s weapons were picked up as he walked through an X-ray scanner while trying to book a hotel room.

  2. Ive seen it twice already the second time to dissect it. Here a few things I caught:

    1. As a Jedi or force sensitive person, you can see forward and backwards in time. The visions Rey saw were in some sort hallway maybe in a first order ship or base. I believe this to be a hallway in starkiller base in the future before it blows up

     

    That is the corridor that Vader and Luke duelled in on Cloud City. In that flashback you can also hear Luke's "nooooo" scream.

     

    2. Next we see Rey left on Jakku when she was around 8 or 9. The clip was so fast I could not make out who she was left with. I als did not catch if she was screaming daddy or mommy. I say daddy my wife said mommy. And for sure it was not the falcon leaving. This was a past vision of course

    Did that sound like Max von Sydow in that flashback? If so, Lor San Tekka must play some role in raising Rey...

    4. The vision of Luke putting R2 into low power mode was too quick for me to see where they may be or who may be with them

    I don't have attribution, but I have read that the scene with Luke and R2 was at the funeral pyre of Luke's wife.

    Wells, 21, of Marietta, Ga., was the youngest of the four victims. He was a member of the Marine Forces Reserve.

     

    Family spokesperson Andy Kingery told WSB-TV that Wells briefly attended Georgia Southern University but “felt a calling to serve in the Marines.”

     

    “We don’t understand the whys. Senseless is a word used too often but this you can’t even hang your hat on,” Kingery said of the attack.

     

    His mother, Cathy, provided photos of her son to Fox News. She said the two photos below were taken last week at Disney World when Wells was honored as a service member of the day.

     

    Cathy said that her son died doing what he loved for the love of his country and his family.

     

    Though many do what they can to recognize and support our troops, occassions like this reveal that no matter how big our gestures are they don't approach the level of gratitude the troops deserve.

     

    Semper Fi, Marines.

    A man who was not supposed to be aboard an airport tram during a maintenance run Friday morning was put in control then killed when it made a sudden stop, sending him hurtling through the windshield to the ground 15 feet below, an airport executive said.

     

  5. For Lou and other pie loving folks, from Orlando Sentinel's Heather McPherson:

    The 18th Annual APC/Crisco National Pie Championships is Friday through Sunday at the Caribe Royal All-Suite Hotel and Convention Center in Orlando and the free 11th Annual APC Great American Pie Festival is Saturday and Sunday in nearby Celebration.

    The festival at Lakeside Park (631 Sycamore St.) will once again include the Never Ending Pie buffet' date=' baking demonstrations, a pie-eating contest and interactive activities such as pie-pan art.

All stage entertainment and demonstrations are free.

    Tickets for the buffet are $10 for adults and $5 for children ages 6-12 and seniors 65 and older. Kids' events, which include pie-making and eating, are $10 for participants ages 3-12 and $5 for adults.

    By the way, the Key lime pie was adopted as Florida's official pie in 2006. To honor that, check out my blog today for some of my favorite recipes.[/quote']

  6. The weather doesn't look like it will get better before Wednesday, so I think they will try hard to pull it off tomorrow.

    That crash was very scary. I saw the wheel go over the fence and my heart dropped. Then it seemed like everyone in that section was waving frantically for help. Definitely praying for the fans and glad that more were not hurt.

  7. Those are some good lists. A lot of it is great stuff just for traveling in general, too.

    I know I have read posts here about troubleshooting electrical problems--what kind of test equipment do you bring? Any adapters needed? How about stuff to work on your plumbing or just be able to use oddball campground hookups?

    I guess what I am shooting for here, is what would you recommend for the never-camped-in-a-camper camper.
