^Great review and background Code history. ...and, can't let it go---I was a dozen feet away and thirty seconds too late to get Ginger Rodgers' autograph. I was fourteen or fifteen, Ms Rodgers encircled by mature ladies, Chicago's Water Tower Place, I was ready-set to dash over, and one of the...- Harp

You are correct. And Mountbatten got Southeast Asia. Interesting aside per slicing Pacific theatre is intelligence dissemination within and without. Just saw The Immitation Game which focuses Turing at Bletchley Park and MI6 crypts cracking Enigma; and once done how the fact that it was broken...- Harp

Your Most Disturbing Realizations
I was a lousy student, disciplinary issues, school basically bore me. The Army turned me around and I aced college on the GI Bill, regret that it took so long. But college itself isn't the golden key to prosperity people ascribe to it, a person who has some understanding of himself is equally...- Harp

On second glance you are right, and I stand corrected. :) My apology for mistaken inference. However, if I erred and committed the sin of supposition, candor suggests reply to your caustic sarcastic nature, as is your want; at least as such is directed towards me. Perhaps I erred too quickly...- Harp

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
Looks a LAW, light ant-tank weapon; also called 'PRINGLES' by American grunts. Soviet tanks are vulnerable left side, ammo and gas storage, so Laws typically fire at port side...saw a Law on tv hit a Russian tank left, southpaw hit the tread, knocked it off, stopping the tank. Great shot. See...- Harp

Please read my full post as listed above, and you will see that I remarked that college was not for every kid and there is nothing wrong with a blue collar trade skill or similar option. I never said anything, nor implied, that trades do not require brains. And for the record, college summers...- Harp

Hunting Hitler on the History Channel
Respectfully disagree. Nostradamus has stood the test of Time. His quatrains are often difficult to decipher but numerous subsequent revelation came to pass with discernible provenance. Your cite of sixteenth century critics pale in comparison to his full canon and you failed to mention the... -

Closest religous established church to Roman Catholicism is Episcopalian. Differences abound, most certainly women ordained to priesthood, though occasionally married Episcopalian priests are ordained within the Roman Catholic Church. Theology gets confused sometimes; especially annulment...- Harp

I recently watched Manchester By The Sea, a lovely film set in coastal New England. The protagonist assumes guardianship of his sixteen-year old nephew who adamantly states he "is not going to college." His nephew intends to become a fisherman like his dad. College is not for every kid and there...- Harp

Novturne. Adequate, but disjointed horror genre; drug usage at a prestigious fine arts high school, sexual encounters filmed against a classical music competition. Some fairly interesting, well scripted scenes but the cumulative composition fails to score a masterpiece. Nocturne could have been...- Harp

What was the last TV show you watched?
I've been looking for Derry Girls... The Quest continues. Murphy's Law is okey-doke. However, playing both sides of the coin for episodic crime show cuts the drink a wee bit thin. Pour a full glass of Guinness, intro the character warts and all like Celine, let the chips fall wherever...- Harp

Carol is adapted from Patricia Highsmith's The Price of Salt, an excellent though clearly dated literary effort, which a more perceptive director such as Hitchcock could have done much more with. Hitchcock grabbed Highsmith's literary deflower Strangers On A Train.- Harp

And you are correct. But within legal stricture there are lines that can be subsequently cited to appeal a bench decision and Solomon has needlessly wounded himself and his judgement by his paternal solicit of Ms Kohlman; ostensibly at least a minor. And I suspect that Ms Kohlman may be...- Harp

I should have remarked this film's painstaking attentive-to-detail wardrobe. Outstanding. Hats galore. Fedora, homburg, caps. Sweaters, overcoat, scarves. And ladies wear superb. Honorable mention automotives. Iron parked all over the place, driven. :)- Harp

Magistrate Solomon is a bit daff since Ms Kohlman isn't an emancipated minor, and her father; while obviously strict, nonetheless is within parental right to set curfew. But the magistrate erred and is subject to appellate correction since Ms Kohlman has been convicted of accessory to illegal...- Harp
