TS&MF is published by Ashdown Publishing, which publishes numerous magazines. I suppose they make the call on what gets printed, not the editor. I did see this on the Ashdown web page" "Shout it from the rooftops. Put out the flags. Write a message in the sky. All our magazines are now back in...

Hi Don & Brad, Thanks to both for your responses. I am looking for the dress blues. Don, please let me know if you find anything. I certainly understand about not casting in the heat. Again. much thanks!

Howdy, I want to paint a modern US Naval Academy band, but can't find finding suitable castings. I haven't found any among the usual casting vendors. London Bridge has a basic band figure that could work, but it will take some work to get right. I know Bill the Bandman used to provide a very...

Hi Mike, Totally agree that his mandate needs to be stronger. Wish he'd stop around and just order everyone in counties with high rates to wear a mask. The town that I live in, which refuses to obey the county mask rule, held an outdoor concert last night, masks not required. I hear that a...

Gov. Greg Abbott today backtracked and ordered TX bars to shut down again and cut restaurant capacity back to 50% after our infection rates climbed drastically. Now everyone is mad at him - people who thought he reopened too soon and businesses that reopened on his OK but have to shut down...

Change the ttpsh: to https: and it works.

I'm still planning to wipe down packages, groceries etc. because, well, it can't hurt. CDC is fully capable of reversing themselves again. Besides, I just scored a big box of wipes at Costco and have to do something with them. :smile2:

Britains does have pictures of their 2020 CC figures. https://www.wbritain.com/product-store/wbcc-upcoming-exclusives/

Sounds like some admirals got butt hurt. Shooting the messenger.

Yes, being sarcastic. You should never send any sensitive info such as CC number, SSN, passwords, etc. on a site that is just http. Fortunately, recent versions of Chrome and Firefox inform you if you are on a site that does not use https encryption. Dunno about IE, haven't used that in years...

Or businesses that take credit cards online, but use http instead of https. What can go wrong with sending an un-encrypted credit card number over the internet?

Headline 10 years from now "Marines Desperate to Obtain Tanks." Like the Navy 12 years ago, "Oh, we don't need frigates anymore, so we won't spend $50 million per ship to upgrade them" Navy now, "We need frigates! They'll only cost $800 million each." {sm5}

I've been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt too, but his press conferences are just gawd-awful. He just rambles on and gets off topic. Did he get his public speaking lessons from Jerry Jones?

Having lived in PA (many years ago) I can affirm that logic and the Liquor Control Board have no relationship. But union $$$ and the Liquor Control Board, ah, another story.

The last figure is the Lifeguard Standard Bearer. It was released under the following numbers, according to http://www.britains-toy-soldiers.com/archive/wbritains_ceremonials.htm: 08032 41076 It may also be either of these two - I can't find a picture to see if they have bases or not: 08103...

Better not let General Patton see those sandbags! {sm4}

True. I've read where business has dropped for Chinese restaurants in NYC because customers are afraid of catching the virus from people of Asian descent, even though they've lived in the US all of their lives. Again not to make light of it, but it seems to me that the corona virus has...

[SPOILER ALERT] I agree that the end of the story and movie is perfect. Feraud would prefer death. Instead, he has to live the rest of his life as a non-entity, knowing he was bettered by the man he detests. Spiritually, he is dead. It's been said that the supporting cast was better than the...

The Duelists is one of the most beautifully filmed movies I've ever seen. The scenes where D'Hubert and Feraud pursue each other through the ruins in the forest always amaze me. The uniforms are spot on, and the film really captures the atmosphere of the early 19th century. And Tom Conti has...
