Pocketwatches
I wore this watch (with gold chain and fob) one time - at my wedding. So although it belonged to my mother's father, I have no emotional attachment for it. Having keyboarded that, it is a magnificent work of art masquerading as a timepiece. Several years ago, I obtained its vital statistics...- Naphtali

Revolutionary War Films?
"The Crossing," overlooking some egregious errors and inaccuracies, is worth watching. Also enjoyable are: "The Devil's Disciple" (Lancaster, Olivier, and Douglas) "Drums Along the Mohawk" (Fonda, Colbert) "Northwest Passage (Book I)" (Tracy, Young, Brennan) - French & Indian War...- Naphtali

Hats and Spectacles
Your Weltschauung may be skewed. At an analogous point in my life, She Who At One Time Had To Have Been Obeyed chose my spectacles, my clothes - all raiment except hats. In addition to strong opinions and firm attitudes, Dragon Lady had/has impeccable taste in all things save relationships. My... -

Die gedanken sind frei
Some time ago I queried the forum to provide a link to the song, Die Gedanken Sind Frei (approximately: My Thoughts Are Free) - a song of defiance sung in the Nazi death camps. The link provided was perfect - and then I migrated from Macintosh OS 9.2 to OS X. I've lost several Mozilla bookmarks... -

BURLESQUE-----The Movie.
As bases for comparison, I recommend: 1. Top Banana (1954) - Phil Silvers 2. The Night They Raided Minsky's (1968) - Jason Robards, Britt Ekland- Naphtali

Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.
In the universe of wristwatch [ab]use, here's a test my Omega SMP Omegamatics have passed. I'm a hand cannon shooter-hunter. My hunting handguns are a pair of six-inch barreled Freedom Arms Model 83s in 475 Linebaugh firing high end 400-grain WFN PB reloads. The first time I shot my first 475 I...- Naphtali

Preserve, dispose of, or file 13?
The newspapers have no "meaning" for me. They are interesting by way of chronicling a historic event. I saved them because I was uncertain who would save what after such a localized disaster - that is, how many copies of the Chronicle and the News were delivered out of area? Especially in the...- Naphtali

Show us your Guns!
Greenhill's Formula calculates that a short bullet can be used. Part of my problem to solve is to identify the velocity of a [given] bullet. The lower its velocity, the closer to bore diameter must be the length. So my calculations have bullet lengths from approximately .87 to 1.01 inches. give...- Naphtali

Preserve, dispose of, or file 13?
My roommate and I were in the parking lot of Jack's Pizza (San Jose, California), getting ready to watch the first game of the series when the lot began to fold and buckle. The series was delayed a while in 1989. The next day I picked up the San Francisco Chronicle and San Jose Mercury News to...- Naphtali

Show us your Guns!
Why would I want to avoid the crutch of using different loads? So long as I have loading block(s) include powder charges, reloading both barrels will be the same procedure regardless of load. This is a significant advantage of the double-barreled muzzleloader over cartridge doubles. Of...- Naphtali

Show us your Guns!
I finally scratched my itch - a .72-caliber rifle. The silly rear sight will go as quickly as I can regulate the barrels. I intend to mount one of Brockman's all machined steel wing-protected adjustable aperture sights. And the steel butt plate will metamorphose to a solid rubber recoil pad -...- Naphtali

Gangsters of the Golden Era
Apparently, your knowledge of gangsters emanates from movies and books. I don't want to rain heavily on your outlook, but rain I will. Through a friend - the son of a capo, but no gangster himself - I became acquainted with Carlos Marcello and Nick Civella (spelling of both surnames???), bosses...- Naphtali

Best Years of our Lives: when the boys are home again movies
Expanding on my previous reply, the movie I would want someone who had never seen a movie to view first, Fred Zinnemann's "The Search," starred Montgomery Clift in his second movie, Aline McMahon, Wendell Cory, and Ivan Landl. It is the story of the American Army (and displaced persons) in... -
Best Years of our Lives: when the boys are home again movies
On lighter notes: Teahouse of the August Moon (Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford) The Last Time I Saw Archie (Jack Webb, Robert Mitchum) *** On a tangent: Cornered (Dick Powell, Luther Adler) The Blue Dahlia (Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake) Hope these help. -

Teeny-bopper movie - the best, or the most bizarre?
I went power crazy securing movies online. One of the "mystery movies" I just viewed, titled "Adventures in Babysitting," verges on the unexplainable. Although clearly a teeny-bopper movie of the 1980s, someone snuck into it some wonderful blues musicians - Koko Taylor singing "Evil (is going...- Naphtali
