One and the same, I believe. Ahasuerus in English, or Achasverosh in Hebrew. Also a wonderful piece of music by Handel, both instrumental and vocal. Known as Handel's Largo in its orchestral version, or Ombre mai fui as a tenor aria. Quite wonderful, suggest the Bjorling version, otherwise...

Back in 1973 or so, I attended the annual Military Musical Pageant at Wembley Stadium, in London. The grand finale was the 1812 Overture played by 1600 bandsmen, 800 in Russian uniforms of the day, the other 800 wearing Napoleon's French uniforms, with plenty of horse-drawn cannon on both...

DontBurnMyFlag Before you send any Brits pictures of your Arsenal, please make sure they're not Tottenham fans like me . . . !

"I wish I had your gun-budget" Impressive budget indeed. Just wondering how much of it came from working in New York :-)

I'm a CZ nut. I've had a Rami 9mm for about three months. Worked perfectly with the ten-round mags, but had troubles with hollowpoints when using the 14-round magazine (that's the one that makes holding the pistol easier). Changed out the spring, and that seems to have done the trick. Once...

Beachmaster, I think you'll find that William Pierce was recalled to Satan four years ago. I also seem to recall reading something about McVeigh calling Pierce shortly before the OKC atrocity. May they both roast in hell forever.

Sawdust Thanks for the welcome. I've lurked on here for ages, better than reading the newspaper, but rarely post. Otherwise I'm on the CZ forum. On that other subject --- At least you say 'gunner' and not 'gooner,' so you must be one of the older, slightly more respectable Arsenal fans...

Among The Thugs, great read. And most of the biggest thugs weren't street-corner bullies but guys with respectable jobs. Just the thrill of the thing. I saw plenty of it at Tottenham in the old days, the 60s and 70s, mainly from Chelsea fans. Never from Spurs fans :-) Not much. I'll take...

I've lived in the States since 1964, with an eight-year bout back in England in the 70s, and I've never found this country gun-mad or particularly scary. In fact, I feel less safe when I'm over there --- I visit once a year --- because I'm legally unable to protect myself. My guess is that...

re: do you bring your guns into church Sam Adams said: "On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur we have about 10 people carrying, plus 2 or 3 local police officers." ______________________________________ Sam, I'm curious about a couple of things. Are your two or three local...
