Earned Rank comes first

It's re-enactment experience but still

Two weapons is mainly used with one for parrying or in combination trapping your opponent's weapon. By havinng te parrying device in your off hand being a weapon then you have an extra threat, not as a damage multiplier

But I'd rather have a shield

I think this is a daft idea, there are still lots of times where electronic banking doesn't cut it, such as payments between individuals.

In Scotland a "Bing" is a spoil head of rubbish left over from mining operations, in otherwords worthless detritus.

I think the word is Scandanavian in origin

books are not taxed, ebooks are treated as books

Ironically enough, and one of the reasons a new effects team had to b ecreated, the company doing the effects put their A team onto DS9 and their Z to B5

I love the B5 space battles on my 37" HD widescreen, upscaled and drooling

Listen to the original radio series and then listen to every incarnation as it is refined, Douglas Adams just killed the humour our of it with every rewrite, the rawer script for the Radio Series worked best

Disclaimer, I gfot an A in an English exam on the book of Hitchhikers, the question on the peper was write about someone who finds himself in events over which he has no control, goodbye Huck Finn, hello Arthur Dent

I love exploring loTRO too, the Shire is my favourite as always seem to find a new view, Moria has some absolutely spectacular bits, and I want to sue the Rivendell and Caras Galadhon elves fordangerous building construction

My primary school taught longhand, slightly different looking from the one you Yanks use btw, and that was OK and legible. I'd have been 6 or 7 at the time.

Then after a couple of years of that I moved schools where they wanted everying "printed" that is in Block capitals and separate letters, which I had almost forgotten how to do. This actually knackered my handwriting and from that day on it suffered.

Trying to write fast notes in class and particularly in college sealed the death of legibility for me.

The Soviet military had a lot to do with breaking the Nazis in WWII. That Military enjoyed the benefit of Lend lease, particularly in US Trucks.

The US wasn't in Italy by itself, there were two armies, as well as Mark Clark's there was Monty's Eight Army with British, Canadian, Australian and Indian troops.

In the West Operation Overlord was a joint US, British and Canadian venture with other Empire and Occupied Europe troops. The US side of it was not as well prepared as it could have been because they dismissed advice from the British regarding beach clearing techniques (cf Hobart's Funnies for example) and they thought they could get by on one dock.

Just to look at Operation Overlord British, Empire and Allied Occupied Europe troops numbered about 84,000 (or which nearly 62,00 were British). The US First Army had 73,000 men. The Royal Navy and RAF were also kind of involved.

The whole thing was an allied effort. The US couldn't have done it on its own, Britain and the Empire could hold the Nazis off, but couldn't liberate Europe, and without aid may have had to seek peace or starve, the Soviets had the manpower, but lend lease helped them get some breathing space and oncentrate their manufacturing effort, and thus they broke the German Army.

It was not the US alone however

Oddly enough, when Igot this laptop back from the repairs with the new GPU (NVidia 8600M GT) in it, Windows can't handle it and doesn't want to know, so I am having problems on that side, but Ubuntu is just peachy with it

And I sure as hell didn't put it there.

Will see what the takedown procedure it tonight

That was kind of Tolkien's idea with the bundle of notes that formed what was published as the Silmarillion, but it wasn't true for Lord of the Rings and by the time the Silmarillion was in a state that Tolkien thought he could refine it into a publishable state the English myth idea had been abandoned.
