  1. If anyone is available to do so, can they do the play by play. It would be much appreciated.
  2. Kings only allow 13 shots but lose 1-0. This upcoming road trip could be the season and with back to back games of not being able to find the back of the net (shades of last season) it could be disastrous.
  3. This was posted on the old board but thought it needed to brought back. We can be critical of Republicans not conceding to social issues but we can also agree that the people of California look like idiots themselves for continuing to vote this thing into office.
  4. One thing to point out is that we were not fighting just Iraqis there. You had terrorists from a good chunk of the middle east to fight americans. For all we know, this guy was wounded by a terrorist not from Iraq. However this guy could have been shot at by the same terrorist while stationed in Afghanistan or Iraq. Terrorists were going to go to one place or another. In the end, the war wasn't needed and it's incredibly sad how it turned out. For both sides.
  5. Glory Gettysburg Saving Private Ryan Patton Blackhawk Down Just to name a few.
  6. Wow that sucks DR. That's some very valuable history you had there. Hopefully it has been taken care of and not destroyed.
  7. From what I remember when I went back to Manassas in 2004, much of the Department of the Interior owns the land so the battlefield has not been built on. Because Gettysburg receives most of the attention, the battlefields in Maryland and Virginia don't receive as much attention. That's actually a good thing because it's almost like you have the entire battlefield to yourself. If you're going in early April to Gettysburg, that's perfect timing. Tourist season has not started yet and once again it won't be crowded. Great thing about that battlefield is they are restoring it (as best they can from the maps that have and with the land they own) to its 1863 condition. Getting rid trees where they did not exist and planting new ones. I can guarantee you that you'll have to go back because there is just too much to see in so short a period of time. It really is a neat battlefield and the town is probably one of the most unique i have ever been to. It really is a time travel to the past. I do have some books on other battles besides Gettysburg but the majority focus on that battle. And all really focus on the war in the east. I need to expand my collection for the war in the western theater (where some argue the war was really won). Stephen Sears has three books. Landscape Turned Red (about the battle of Antietam. Also two books called Chancellorsville and Gettysburg Noah Andre Trudeau has one called Gettysburg: A Testing of Courage Earl Hess's Pickett's Charge The Last Attack at Gettysburg Lastly if you want to get really into the battle and here stories of the common soldier look up Harry Pfanz's three books, The First Day, The Second Day, and Culp's Hill and Cemetery Hill. That should be enough reading material to keep you occupied. Also if you need advice on where to stay if you spend more than a day, there are some great places.
  8. If you ever have the time and the means, be sure to travel to some of those battlefields back east. Obviously some have been lost to development but some are still mostly in 1860's condition. Gettsyburg being one of the best. Also if you wanted any more books on the subject, I can give you some ideas.
  9. Stumbled across this on youtube. Thought some history buffs here might enjoy it
  10. Senior year of high school with my dad at home in Northern California. Giant fans were quiet that night.
  11. The 1995 lineup was pretty legit for the first four and a half months of the season. I was ten years old that year and remember Salmon, Anderson, Edmonds, Snow, Davis, Phillips, Disar, etc.
  12. Up 4-1 after two periods. Need to finish them off today. Gaining momentum and hope they keep it up.
