Thomas Beck and all of Long Beach had been plagued by a local nuisance known as Lew-Is-the-Light for several years.

There are many cooks in the world, but I only know one that’s the best. The best cook is Calvin Burns Jr. He makes the best chicken castor spaghetti with homemade garlic bread, and steamed broccoli. This dish melts in your mouth and allows people to discover great cheap food. The second dish is Fried chicken, yams, collards and mustard greens mixed, mac and cheese, and mash potatoes and brown gravy. Most of Calvin’s dishes are both ethnic and basic. Calvin loves to cook international dishes plus cook soul food from his family background. These dishes he create all the time is one of the best dishes of this era. Calvin’s food is a small bite of heaven and I agree completely that this is a great cook and
James II is 53 when he is crown in 1685. The Parliament, now mostly Tories, were in favor of him, and he claimed that he favored them as well. They rewarded him by letting him raise an army just in time for James of Monmouth rebellion. Monmouth was a bastard son of Charles II and claimed that James had killed quite a few people, including Charles. In July of 1685, the two James met at the Battle of Sedgemoor which resulted in Monmouth’s defeat and eventual execution12. James decided to keep his standing army. Besides being openly Catholic, he also came from a military background. His court was one of dignity. He also kept a tight purse, he doesn’t spend his money on favorites or lavish parties like his brother. He ultimately makes court less interesting and useful for those who wanted to social climb. He believed in order, hierarchy and complete obedience or be dismissed. Although the country, in general, didn’t like Catholics at all, they were mostly okay with James because they knew he was old and was sure to die soon, plus he didn’t have any son, so his successor would be his Protestant daughter Mary. But in 1687 he’s second wife, Mary Beatrice of Modena, also Catholic, became pregnant and on June 10 of 1688, James was born13. Immediately Parliament and the country was in an uproar, Parliament sends word to William of Orange, Mary’s husband, to invade England and take the throne. William agrees and he reaches England in the same year.
