    This generation of kids...

    Doesn't your football program actually generate a huge profit ? The one at my alma mater (U. of Georgia) does, and a good chunk o'change is used to run the non-revenue sports and some even goes into the academic coffers. If you mean to denounce generally that false God, Sports Culture , that...

    Aussies ! Time to buy American ? The quote is from 10 June 2010. The Australian dollar reached $0.94 U.S. today, and the famous ninety dollar (AUD) hat is perched at $84.43 U.S. from EA. Is parity on the way ? [huh]

    Von Ribbentrop's Watch

    The commenter in 2008 didn't see (or, rather, hear) it that way. It would not be fair for me to agree or disagree with him, as I have not taken in the play. Your point is well taken, but Mr. Marks' uninformed status as to Ribbentrop's place in the Nazi food chain is disturbing.

    The Hour of Reckoning The anniversary of when it did not happen : http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/sep/06/hitler-invasion-of-britain It is a good thing to have had enough heroes at the critical moment. Americans remember and honor them and their sacrifice.

    Operating USS Missouri Radio Room

    Get Low, the RCA Way - 1941 I was making a half-guess on that. Thanks, Diamondback. What they needed to have for you to use, Jesse, is one of these, the Navy RAZ-1 receiver set, tuning 15 -600 kc. (No kHz ! This is vintage !) : I have one like the one pictured, with preselector...

    BATTLE OF BRITAIN (1940) - Respecting THE FEW.

    Supplemental but an old favorite : The Wizard War by R.V. Jones, also published as Most Secret War is. in my opinion, essential reading on how British science gave an edge against the Luftwaffe bombers, among other things. Jones is said to have responded to Churchill's request that he become...

    Nutria felt in the modern day

    Nutria Range in the U.S. The map at this site from the USGS is recent and something to hang your hat on. The narrative is enlightening, as well. http://www.pserie.psu.edu/seagrant/ais/watershed/nutria.htm I see that they are virtually next door to me. Who knew ...
