The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry is basking in the glow of a successful 150th birthday celebration in Mount Hope, highlighted by the visit of Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex.
More than 1,000 people attended the rare Trooping of the Colour ceremony Saturday at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Six hundred were invited guests, but more than 400 members of the public came to the celebration and to see the 48-year-old prince, seventh in line to the throne.
One-hundred and fifty members of the Rileys paraded in the one-hour ceremony, which was last performed in 1962. Members had been practising once a week for the past year, and everyday for the past two weeks, and their marching was praised by the prince in comments to the crowd. The colour flag contains the regiment's battle honours, which stretch from the War of 1812 to the Second World War and include the deadly 1942 raid on Dieppe.
"It's the crowning achievement of our 150th anniversary," said one-time deputy police chief Tom Marlor, a former honorary colonel of the Rileys who organized the day along with Major Michael Rehill, musical director of the regimental band.
"Our actual birthday is Dec. 11. There will be a regimental birthday for all ranks that day, but this outshines everything … I'm sure they (royals) get many requests and they don't grant them all. We're very proud to have him."
It also turned out to be a good day for the royals, who have been caught up in recent headlines about seminude photos of Prince Harry and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge. Prince Edward made those troubles slip away by not disappointing those who love the pomp and pageantry of the royals. The prince was representing his father Prince Philip, the Riley's 91-year-old colonel-in-chief. He mingled with the Rileys, visited the regimental headquarters at the John W. Foote Armoury on James Street North in the evening, and did a royal walkabout with the Mount Hope crowd.
Likewise, the prince's wife, Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, was well-received in Niagara. She is colonel-in-chief of the Lincoln and Welland Regiment and was at Queenston Heights Saturday presenting it with new colours. Hundreds of royal watchers attended the event.
"He's a wonderful person, just like the rest of the Royal Family," said Allan Hannaford, 70, of Ancaster, who met the prince during the walkabout. "It's a wonderful day for the Rileys."
Iris Thompson, who turned 98 on Sept. 3, boasted she has now shaken hands with all four of the Queen's children. Her daughter Elaine Manahan, 65, of Vancouver, said the prince thanked them for coming and wished her his mother a happy birthday.
"I love the Queen and all of the Royal Family," said Thompson, who lives in Burlington. Then she chuckled about meeting the prince," And I got some good pictures."
Looking dapper in a green Canadian colonel outfit — the earl is colonel-in-chief of the Hastings and Prince Edward regiment in Belleville — the prince brought greetings from his father.
"I bring greetings from the Duke of Edinburgh, who sadly can't be with you today, but I know he would have liked to be here and I know he would be very impressed to have seen the turnout today from everybody, as well as from the regiment," he said. "One hundred and fifty years is a significant milestone."
Referring to recent battle honours given to the Rileys for the War of 1812, (as the successor unit to the York Militia), the prince said, "I can think of no better year to have a new battle honour added to the history of this already distinguished regiment, of the many years of service to the Crown, as well as to your country … and upholding the magnificent volunteer tradition of this country."
Then he made reference to the Riley's motto, Always Ready (Semper Paratus), "I wish you all the best in the future and may you always be ready."
Honorary Colonel Tim Hogarth returned the favour. "To have you here, representing our Royal Family … as we mark our 150th anniversary, is a true gesture of respect and a tremendous link with tradition," he said.
The prince met with the three commanders of the Riley cadet corps, Daniel Guther, 17, David Brennan, 18, and Samuel Shepherd, 18. He asked them how long they'd been in the cadets and whether they were thinking of military careers.
"He was very personable," said Shepherd, who is planning to go to the Royal Military College. "He had a bit of British charm to him."
One unscripted moment came when the prince bumped into cadet Cody Turner, 17, who was holding on to the Queen's Personal Canadian Flag, the Royal Standard, and preventing it from flapping in the breeze. "Thank you for holding on to that, otherwise it would go on parade too," joked the prince.
"It's pretty cool," said Turner about the encounter.

Harry's a legend, say friends of finger gesture boy pictured at Nick Clegg's school visit
Published: 28 February 2014
Updated: 12:46, 28 February 2014
The mother of a schoolboy caught on camera making an obscene gesture in front of Nick Clegg said he was "in trouble" today.
Harry Payne raised his middle finger as the deputy prime minister made a speech to around 500 pupils at Southfields Academy school in south west London yesterday.
The teenager was today off school and was with his mother Nicola Payne at her workplace.
Dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt he looked contrite as she tried to explain his actions.
Ms Payne, a dentist's receptionist, claimed the picture misrepresented her son, but admitted he was being punished.
She told the Standard: "That picture should not have been used - it misrepresented what was happening. We won't be saying anything else about this. Harry is in enough trouble already. He is off school because of this."
Friends of the teenager claimed Harry's crude gesture was aimed at another pupil and not Nick Clegg.
One said: "Harry is a good lad really he was not gesturing at Clegg but another boy. I do not think he was aiming to be rude to Clegg."
His friend, sitting next to Harry during the speech, also seemed unimpressed with the stunt.
But despite angering the school and his mother, it has proved a big hit with other pupils, who today labelled him a "legend".
Becca McIlroy wrote on Twitter: "Harry is quality man!!! only southfields academy to do something like that.
Harry's got me creasing.
"Harry your all over the news #quality #legend."
Another wrote: "MY SCHOOL IS NOW FAMUS (sic) FOR THE ABOUT A BOY FILM AND NOW ALSO MIDDLE FINGER TO NICK CLEGG THIS IS EXCELLENT."
The school classrooms and corridors of the school were used in the hit 2002 film starring Hugh Grant.
Harry had seemed distinctly unimpressed with Nick Clegg's talk, appearing to virtually nod off at various points.
The deputy leader appeared not to notice his antics.
A spokesman for the school said the principal and headteacher were "not in today" and so could not comment.

Pumas lose Lobbe to knee injury
ESPNscrum Staff
September 26, 2011
Argentina's Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe limps off against Scotland © Getty Images
Argentina vice-captain Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe has been ruled out of the remainder to the Rugby World Cup with a knee injury.
The Pumas No.8 limped off in the first half of his side's 13-12 victory over Scotland on Sunday and it was later confirmed that he had torn his cruciate ligament in his left knee. The injury will keep the Toulon back-row player on the sidelines for six months.
Coach Santiago Phelan has yet to announce a replacement for Fernandez Lobbe.
The Pumas, who departed for Palmerston North on Monday for their final Pool B clash with Georgia, have already lost Gonzalo Tiesi to a sprained ankle. However Rodrigo Roncero, who pulled a muscle in his left thigh, is expected to recover in the next few days.
Juan Manuel Leguizamon sprained his ankle and suffered a blow to an eye against Scotland but neither injury is thought to be serious while Felipe Contepomi will rest his sore ribs over the next week.

Facebook founder Zuckerberg: Why I wear the same t-shirt everyday
- Monday, November 10th, 2014 |
- T-shirt news
Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, has recently revealed in his first public Q&A the reason why he wears his famous grey t-shirt everyday. He owns several versions of the same t-shirt, and has disclosed that he believes choosing what to wear, along with what to eat for breakfast, is a "silly" decision he would rather not spend time and energy on.
Supporting one of the great advantages of wearing a uniform for work, we have to agree with Zuckerberg – not having to make that decision about what to wear for work certainly saves money and the time spent agonizing over your wardrobe.
Zuckerberg, however, isn't the only well-known entrepreneur to be famous for wearing the same outfit to work everyday. Below is our top selection of other wellknown faces who have worn the same clothing (or versions of) for work over the years:
Simon Cowell
The TV presenter and music producer is well-known for wearing his standard open collar white shirt, high-waisted trousers and black jacket.
Richard Branson
You will rarely see the founder of Virgin wearing anything but a white shirt, much like Cowell above.
Steve Jobs
The late Apple boss and co-founder's daily attire was his black turtleneck.
Designer Karl Lagerfeld is rarely seen without his trademark gloves, white shirt, black tie and black sunglasses.
While the colour variation and creativity isn't exactly riveting, these guys have saved themselves a lot of time over the years. Is there anyone we've missed off the list? Let us know below or tweet us @Clothes2order.
It's almost the end of October which means that if you're taking part in Sober October, your days of sobriety are nearly over!
Emma, one of our account managers here at Clothes2order, has almost successfully completed Sober October to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

She has already raised £165 but the month isn't over yet! If you'd like to donate to Emma to help raise vital funds to support cancer suffers please give here

Last night marked the 66th Emmy Awards – and with lots of popular TV series proving worthy winners, we thought we'd look at the shows that are influencing what we are wearing…
Orange is the New Black
The TV series made orange so cool, that one prison in Michigan decided to ditch their luminous jumpsuits and replaced them with black-and-white striped jumpsuits.
A sheriff at the Saginaw County Jail commented: "It's because as you see shows on television, like Orange Is The New Black, some people think it's cool to look like an inmate of the Saginaw County Jail with wearing all-orange jumpsuits out at the mall or in public.
"It's a concern because we do have our inmates out sometimes doing work in the public, and I don't want anyone to confuse them or have them walk away.
"We decided that the black-and-white stripes would be the best way to go because it signifies 'jail inmate,' and I don't see people out there wanting to wear black-and-white stripes."
Breaking Bad
Big winners at the Emmy's last night, hit show Breaking Bad has also seen a surge in popularity in the hat market. The signature pork pie hat as worn by Bryan Cranston's Walter White has proved extremely popular with fans. However, this Heisenburg hat has a hefty price tag of $150.
Game of Thrones
Printed t-shirts bearing slogans or characters from shows such as Game of Thrones are becoming increasingly popular, however it is the medieval fashion from this cult TV series that has become in demand. From high end fashion houses to small jewellery businesses, everyone wants to cash in on the layered fur, house sigils and intricate embroidery of the show.
Are there any more TV shows that you think have inspired what we wear? Leave your comments below or visit us as Facebook or Twitter.
Congratulations to everyone who entered our competition to win 5 x personalised garments of your choice from our site.

I have no idea why people leave their car running or the keys in the car when they're running in to a store, unless someone else is in the car. This is doubly stupid when you have all sorts of valuables in the car as well.

Jun 23, 2014 Nick Rego
I recently travelled to the US for the E3 games expo, and one of the things that I had to lug with me was my small power brick. Experience has taught me never to rely solely on your smartphone's battery, since there's no telling when you'll have time for a quick recharge in between meetings. So a power brick is an easy way to quickly juice up your phone when you're running a bit low on battery life.
On a typical day at E3, I'm capturing photos (usually with flash), uploading images to Twitter and Instagram, posting content on Facebook pages, and emailing through stories to my editorial team. And if Wi-Fi is being spotty at a venue, I'm tethering my laptop to my phone so I can quickly get online. All of this can drain your phone battery very quickly, and in the past I've usually eaten up my battery by about 50% by around 3pm. Even after the show closes, there are countless after-show events and parties to attend, and sure enough there have been times where I've had a dead phone on me, which can be incredibly frustrating if you're trying to call for a taxi – or even remember the address of which hotel you're staying at!
This year I had the HTC One M8 with me, and I was surprised that even when I was using and abusing the phone, it didn't drain out entirely even towards the end of the day. Powered by a 2,600mAh battery and a very efficient SnapDragon 801 SoC, the HTC One M8 was still alive and kicking after the first day of the show which is when all the conferences happened. I was down to about 15% battery life by around 9pm by the time I was heading back to my hotel, a feat that I would only previously be able to accomplish if I had my power brick plugged in. The battery on my older HTC One used to be quite good, but the M8 takes things even further- especially when the Extreme Power Mode kicks in that gives you an additional 15 hours with just 5% charge left. Maybe it's time I finally leave my long-time companion power brick at home?

J.J. Abrams drops cheeky hint that the Millennium Falcon WILL feature in new Star Wars movie after leaked shots emerge
At first glance, J.J. Abrams' response to leaked shots from the set of Star Wars Episode VII seems to pour water on the fans' hopes that the Millennium Falcon will feature in the movie.
But fanboy Abrams knows his audience, and that the Star Wars faithful will look at little closer at any cryptic clue... so he's turned his official comeback into a cheeky confirmation.
The usually secretive director shared a picture of a note on which he'd written that he wished people would stop 'making ridiculous claims that the Millennium Falcon is in the movie,'
So it's true! Director J.J. Abrams slammed Millennium Falcon rumours in this note but pinned it to an artifact from Hans Solo's famous ship
But it's what the note is pinned on to, in the shot, that now has fans in a froth.
Those familiar with the original movies recognised instantly that the note was pinned quite clearly onto the Dejarik table from Hans Solo's ship.
The hologram game board hosted the famous match between R2D2 and Chewbacca in Star Wars – Episode IV: A New Hope back in 1977, which is of course, where it all started.
'Let the wookiee win!' Abrams knew true fans would recognise the chess board instantly
Having some fun: J.J. Abrams stepped out in London on Tuesday night, to visit the ever popular Chiltern Firehouse
This is quite the departure for Abrams, who usually guards his sets' secrets fiercely.
It suggests that as a fan of the Star Wars films himself, Abrams is aware of how highly anticipated the next episode is and is prepared to join in on the build up fun.
Meanwhile, Lupita Nyong'o and Game Of Thrones star Gwendoline Christie are the latest cast additions for the new Star Wars film.
Oscar winning Lupita - who won the Best Supporting Actress gong for her role in Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave - will join other Star Wars newbies John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow in the latest instalment of the sci-fi franchise directed by J.J. Abrams.
'I can finally say it loud and proud,' Lupita wrote via Instagram alongside a snapshot of the Star Wars logo on Monday. 'I'm going to a galaxy far far away.'
Addition: Oscar winning star Lupita Nyong'o and Game Of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christie will join the cast of the new Star Wars
Loud and proud! Lupita shared an Instagram snapshot with her fans on Monday
Meanwhile, 6ft 3ins Gwendoline currently plays soldier Brienne of Tarth in hit HBO TV show Game Of Thrones.
The two actresses will be joining the original stars of the saga - Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia and Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in the new film.
Beloved characters C3P0 (Anthony Daniels), Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) and R2D2 (Kenny Baker) will also return.
'[I could not be more excited about Lupita and Gwendoline joining the cast of Episode VII,' said Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. 'It's thrilling to see this extraordinarily talented ensemble taking shape.'
Oscar winning role: Lupita with co-star Chiwetel Ejiofor in 12 Years A Slave
No stranger to battle: As Game Of Thrones' Brienne Of Tarth, Gwendoline Christie regularly appears in heavy armour
Ever since her Oscars triumph back in March, Lupita has been linked with a role in the hotly anticipated Episode VII.
Reports surfaced claiming that the Mexican-born actress met with director Abrams a few weeks prior to winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
When asked for comment, a representative for the 12 Years A Slave star told Latino Review, 'We're not allowed to talk about that.'
British actress Gwendoline will also appear as Commander Lyme in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2.
Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled for release in December 2015.

Six Nations officials 'concerned' as Leinster plan to flout Cian Healy ban
Ireland prop is officially available this weekend, but selection would flout spirit of his stamping ban
Jack de Menezes
Jack de Menezes is a digital sport reporter for The Independent, specialising in football, rugby union and motor racing.
Thursday 14 February 2013
Leinster are considering whether to select banned Ireland prop Cian Healy on Saturday when they face Benetton Treviso in the RaboDirect PRO12, despite incurring the wrath of RBS Six Nations organisers.
Healy was suspended after he was found guilty of stamping on England prop Dan Cole, with a disciplinary committee handing the forward a three-week ban. Usually Healy would not have played this weekend, but the committee's decision to defer the ban by a week so that he would miss Ireland's games against Scotland and France means the suspension does not start until midnight on Sunday.
Leinster forwards coach Jonno Gibbes has suggested that the reigning European champions intend to select the 25-year-old for the game in Dublin.
"Cian is certainly available," said Gibbes. "Joe Schmidt and (Ireland head coach) Declan Kidney have talked about the involvement of Test players this weekend. Cian's available and personally I'd be delighted to involve him, he's a really big asset. He will definitely be considered."
The announcement has created a problem for Six Nations officials, who are understood to be concerned at the prospect of having the spirit of their ban flouted by the exploitation of a loophole in their decision to defer the punishment.
However, Gibbes didn't seem too concerned with the ban as it doesn't directly affect the province. "There are complications for others maybe, but he's available for us," Gibbes continued. "It's a game in the break of the Six Nations and he's under consideration. Nothing is surprising when the rugby judiciary is involved. You have to go in with an open mind because you never know what will come out of it."
Meanwhile, Ireland team manager Mick Kearney has confirmed that fly-half Jonathan Sexton and second-row Mike McCarthy have been ruled out of their next match against Scotland due to injury. Munster duo Ronan O'Gara and Donncha O'Callaghan are likely to deputise for the game at Murrayfield.

Geoff Blum and the uselessness of spring stats
Mar 16, 2010, 1:47 PM EST
Lance Berkman is questionable to be ready for Opening Day following knee surgery last week and Zachary Levine of the Houston Chronicle reports that the Astros are leaning toward veteran utility man Geoff Blum as his replacement at first base.
In his absence, Geoff Blum started in the No. 5 spot in the lineup Sunday, giving protection to Hunter Pence and Carlos Lee, who batted third and fourth, respectively. …
Evaluating Blum by his spring numbers, however dangerous that is to do, he has looked like a middle-of-the-order hitter. He's hitting 9-for-20 (.450) with three doubles in six games this spring. "If he continues to swing the bat well, I think everyone could see why I'd want him in that fifth spot," [manager Brad] Mills said.
I believe the word I'm looking for is hogwash.
Geoff Blum is 36 years old and has played 11 seasons in the major leagues, hitting .250 with a measly .310 on-base percentage and punchless .387 slugging percentage in 4,088 total plate appearances spread over 1,256 games. And yet we're supposed to believe that his going 9-for-20 in spring training has any kind of meaning whatsoever?
Spring training stats are pretty close to meaningless. Spring training stats consisting of 20 at-bats are exactly meaningless. And spring training stats consisting of 20 at-bats for a player with over 1,200 games on his big-league resume stretch beyond "meaningless" into "misleading." As in, Blum is a bad hitter and focusing on 20 random at-bats in exhibition games may cause someone to think otherwise.
Blum has had plenty of very good 20-at-bat stretches in 11 seasons, but at the end of the day he has a .250 batting average with a .697 OPS for his career and hasn't hit above .262 or posted an OPS above .705 since way back in 2002. Regardless of how long Berkman is out, for the sake of their sanity Astros fans better hope that quote from first-year manager Brad Mills is little more than lip service.

"Geoff Blum started in the No. 5 spot in the lineup Sunday, giving protection to Hunter Pence and Carlos Lee…"
You keep using this word, "protection." I do not think it means what you think it means.
- jwb - Mar 16, 2010 at 2:04 PM
Have no fear. The Astros have signed Matt Kata!
- Largebill - Mar 16, 2010 at 2:13 PM
Each year a few hitters have a deceptively good spring (bloops that fall in and some wind blown homers) and then get overvalued in auction drafts by folks who ignore the player's history. I used to make that mistake. Now, I hardly care at all about spring stats. Only usefulness is for guessing increased playing time as some managers can be fooled by the small sample size as well.
Pitching is a little different. A pitcher's spring performance may provide warning signs. Right now I'd shy away from Ben Sheets.
- kbl - Mar 16, 2010 at 2:23 PM
Feliz should hit 5th. Shelton should play 1B and hit 6th if Berkman is not ready.
- joeiscool12 - Mar 16, 2010 at 3:05 PM
He didn't use the word "protection." The article he quoted did.
- adam - Mar 16, 2010 at 3:43 PM
i believe the phrase you are all overlooking is If he continues to swing the bat well, I think everyone could see why I'd want him in that fifth spot,". i don't think anyone here would disagree that if you have someone hitting like blum is now you'd want him hitting fifth. of course, he's very, very, very, very unlikely to do so. but while berkman's out you may as well ride the hot hand.
- JasonC23 - Mar 16, 2010 at 3:55 PM
Yes, I know that, thanks.

There are few things that perplex me more than the fact Geoff Blum has accumulated more than 4,000 major league plate appearances.

MAN L27/38 Workhorse is Chosen for Heavy-Duty Offshore Propulsion. Dubai-based Grandweld Shipyards has been appointed to build two Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels for undisclosed offshore operators.
The AHTS newbuildings, will each be powered by two 8 cylinder MAN L27/38 main engines delivering a total of 2 x 2,720 kW in a standard twin screw propulsion layout for the drive of two ducted cp propellers. The calculated bollard pull is 90 ton. The engines for the 1st and 2nd vessel will be shipped from Denmark 2012 in the weeks 18 and 22 respectively. The L27/38 medium-speed propulsion engine is a popular workhorse for heavy-duty applications like e.g. offshore supply and service vessels, anchor handlers, tugs and workboats. Robustly designed for maximal reliability and durability in operation, the L27/38 is characterised by good performance over the entire load range, optimized for high-torque layout, dynamic behaviour – good acceleration ability with invisible smoke from idling to full load, low fuel oil consumption and low NOx emissions. For the benefit of operators and owners the service and overhaul friendliness is high due to the unique 'pipeless' and modularized engine design principle. Front-end box designed with all auxiliary system components for easy access and service. An integrated closed system circuit for e.g. lube oil - including engine driven pump, automatic filter, cooler and thermostatic valves offers maximal safety and easy and cost-effective handling and shipyard installation.
Easy, swift and very safe overhauls are possible due to the cylinder unit concept – which offers more exchange service cooperation opportunities. The L27/38 has proved itself an ideal prime mover with flexibility for powering the markets most popular propulsors – from conventional Controllable Pitch Propeller and Fixed Pitch Propeller to various Azimuth propellers, Z-drive solutions, thrusters and cyclic propellers like e.g. the highly manoeuvrable Voith Schneider units.

The Likud party primary vote has been extended until midnight, the Likud Central Election Committee decided Sunday evening, due to issues with electronic polling machines. However, it was still possible that an additional voting day would be added.MK Yuli Edelstein called to forbid fliers and banners at polling places if the Likud primary is extended in order to make candidates financially equal."If it is decided to set another date
for the primaries on the election committee's... we should ban all campaign advertising in general, and in areas of
the polls on the day in particular, to create
equality among all candidates," Eldelstein said.Meanwhile, Education Minister Gideon Sa'ar called the Likud primary elections held Sunday a "farce" because of problems with electronic voting machines and demanded the polls be halted and held again on a later date.Likud primary voting got off to a rough start Sunday morning with electronic voting machines throughout the country suffering outages and problems. Technicians were working to fix the problem."It's very frustrating," said Balaclav Polina, a Likud member who had been waiting to vote since polling stations opened at 9:00 a.m.. "There hasn't been this big a mess in the past."Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu cast his own ballot Sunday morning in Givat Ze'ev and called on the Likud's 125,351 members to vote in the tight primary race, while activists released lists of recommended candidates in light of Operation Pillar of Defense and the security situation in the South.Seemingly acknowledging the voting problems, Netanyahu said he voted without any issues. A representative for Amanet, the company responsible for the primary logistics and voting machines, declined to comment on the problems Sunday. The employee responsible for computerization of voting was in meetings, an Amanet representative said.The prime minister called on Likud members "to participate in the festival of democracy in the Likud, the largest party, the ruling party. You have the right to choose who will be in the in power in the coming years in the State of Israel. I call on you to come and vote, to influence, and to decide."Polling stations opened at 9 a.m. on Sunday and were to stay open until 10 p.m.Meanwhile, "Your Path-Our Path," a group of Likud activists in the South, put out one of the many lists of recommended primary candidates disseminated in recent days, this time based on a poll of party members in the area.Southern Likud members support Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya'alon, Home Front Defense Minister Avi Dichter, who moved to Likud from Kadima, Vice Premier Silvan Shalom, Deputy Minister Gila Gamliel, and MKs Ofir Akunis, Danny Danon, Carmel Shama-Hacohen and Aleli Admasu, as well as several newcomers: Gabi Avital, Tzipi Gordin and Shimon Sarel.Nearly every list of recommended candidates released last week included Ya'alon.Many Likud activists believe and hope that Ya'alon, a former IDF chief of staff, will replace Defense Minister Ehud Barak in the next Knesset if he gets a high slot on the party's list.Right-wing NGO Matot Arim released a list of MKs who voted for and against the disengagement from Gaza in 2005, saying it "caused the current military fiasco in the South."Only Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs Minister Yuli Edelstein, Environmental Protection Minister Gilad Erdan and Deputy Regional Development Minister Ayoub Kara had perfect voting records against the disengagement.Matot Arim also listed MKs Danon, Ze'ev Elkin, Yariv Levin and Tzipi Hotovely as having the most nationalist and pro-settlement voting records in the 18th Knesset.Meanwhile, The Nationalist Camp, a highly influential right-wing Likud voters group led by Shevach Stern and Natan Englesman, recommended many of the MKs listed above, including Edelstein, Elkin, Hotovely and Levin, as well as Manhigut Yehudit leader Moshe Feiglin, who is expected to make it into the next Knesset.MK Haim Katz has been called the most powerful man in the Likud, with influence over nearly 10,000 party members as the head of the Israel Air Industries (IAI) union. Katz has made a deal supporting Transportation Minister Israel Katz and several other, less-known candidates, like IAI engineer Meir Malka in the Shfela regional spot.With recent polls giving a joint Likud-Yisrael Beytenu list 34-38 seats, 97 candidates are competing for 24-25 spots in Sunday's Likud primary, in which 125,351 party members were eligible to vote.Yisrael Beytenu's list is chosen via a selection committee, and their spots on the joint list have yet to be decided, other than Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, who will be No. 2.Of the Likud's 27 MKs in the 18th Knesset, only Netanyahu is guaranteed to make it into the 19th. The second to 21st spots are elected to the national list with ensured representation for two women and one new immigrant. The 22nd and 23rd spots are for the Shfela and Dan regions, followed by the 24th for a new female candidate and the 25th for minorities.Six MKs – Culture and Sport Minister Limor Livnat, Gamliel, Hotovely, Deputy Minister Leah Nass, Miri Regev and former Kadima MK Yulia Shamolov-Berkovich – are competing for the 10th and 20th spots saved for women. If more than two women are elected in the top 20, those spots are no longer saved, and the women are ranked according to the number of votes they receive.Jpost.com staff and Gil Hoffman contributed to this report
