    Absinthe again legal

    You haven't missed much, modern Pernod, both the Liqueur d' Anis, & modern Pernod Absinthe are pretty lame. Try a bottle of Arak if you like aniseed. The UK never banned absinthe, and absinthe was always available in Spain and a few other places that had a regional taste for it, while it...

    Transmitting your own signal

    I made a mounting bracket and added a telescoping antenna on the back of the transmitter I use.

    The Single & Ridiculously Good-Lookin' Room

    Ah! "The Old Boxer Ploy" Not that that I've ever used it before. ;)

    Gin Lovers Unite!

    You really would have hated the earliest incarnation of the Martini, as it was made with Old Tom Gin, and Italian Sweet Vermouth. The term Dry Martini came about when the cocktail was modified to use French Dry Vermouth, and English style Gin, with a dash of Orange Bitters. Unfortunately...

    Absinthe again legal

    Much of the talk about thujone is based on old wives-tales, out of date studies, and ignorance. http://thujone.info/ Most of the vintage, and current absinthe, has actually tested quite low for thujone, and the only claims for high thujone levels in absinthe are promoted by out and out...

    Gentlemen: The most beautiful actress from the beginning of film up to the 50's....

    Ironic screen name you have for a Mabel fan. ;) I've heard of the Sennett rumor, whatever happened that day in 1915 between Mabel Normand, Mack Sennett, and Mae Busch, almost killed Mabel, and profoundly affected her for the rest of her life. It's too bad Mabel and Charlie didn't work...

    Gentlemen: The most beautiful actress from the beginning of film up to the 50's....

    Mabel Normand, she swore like sailor, threw one of the first pies in film, was the first Keystone bathing beauty, and was a natural comic.

    Bell UH-1 Huey

    No, the closest that ever came to happening, was canceled. To an extent, but there were a number of designs that were rather advanced for the period,raging from transports, to gunships, but finding money to produce them was another story.

    Actor and Singer Robert Goulet passes away.

    RIP Robert Goulet Robert Goulet was pretty funny. Anyone who can be on the Simpsons and sing at Bart's tree house casino, and do the Emerald Nuts commercial has to have a good sense of humor. http://www.emeraldnuts.com/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPtpo1OuYcs :eusa_clap:eusa_clap

    Golden Era Planes of Fame

    Hughes H-1 The canopy on the Hughes H-1 retracted down into the sides of the cockpit, this feature was copied on Jim Wright's Hughes H-1b replica, and was the subject of some discussion during the building of Jim Wright's replica. Hughes could also raise the seat for better visibility on...

    Former Navy planes from the 1930s used in fire

    It's fortunate the Martin Mars survived the postwar scrap heap, and is still able to earn their keep, long after the other large flying boats were cut up for scrap. You are seeing the very last of a type of aircraft, that for the most part has all but vanished. A tip of the hat to pilots...

    Name This Plane...from the inside

    The back seat throws everyone. Which is actually the pilot's seat, some twenty years before Bell's Cobra adopted the position. When helicopters had wings. The winner of the U.S. Army Air Corps first helicopter contract, before Sikorsky, the Platt-LePage XR-1A, circa 1944. The designer...

    Name This Plane...from the inside

    It's an American aircraft from W.W. II, not a Dauntless, or a Douglas product, though the designer was a longtime friend of Donald Douglas. I'll let it sit on the flightline for a bit......;)
