I thought you might like to know that this type of Field Cap is popularly known as a 'Torin' although the origin of the name has been lost. It's shape is one of the earliest forms of British Field Cap and was used in the Navy and Marines in the Naopleonic era, was adopted by the Guards around the time of the Crimea and by the 1880s was widely seen on the General Staff and front line units of all Arms of British, Indian and other Colonial establishments. In the 1890s it was largely replaced by the so called Austrian type which had 2 small buttons securing an ear warming folding side piece. Nevertheless a few units stubbornly stuck to the Torin and at least 3 British Army units still wear it to this day.

great tour, I've been on tours like this before and sometimes the guides are a little too sarcastic, or they aren't too accurate, or they are just dull, but our guide was really good, friendly, just funny enough, and his information was interesting.

Enjoyed this greatly. Well recommended

- The Boogeyman gets the Superstar Spotlight on WWE's website today. - Courtesy of WWEDVDNews, here is the 2012 WWE TLC DVD cover with AJ Lee, John Cena and Dolph Ziggler. The DVD hits stores on January 15th: - This week's WWE Classics Five-Star Match of the Week was chosen by David Otunga and he chose Ricky Steamboat vs. Randy Savage from WrestleMania 3. Otunga told WWE.com: "I'm going to go with WrestleMania III, Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat vs. 'Macho Man' Randy Savage. The headliner of that show was Hulk Hogan against Andre the Giant. But I have to be honest, the most entertaining match, the one I came away thinking about was 'Macho Man' and 'The Dragon.' It really stole the show. That definitely added something. George 'The Animal' Steele is actually my mom's favorite wrestler. I liked 'Macho Man,' but truthfully, I was a fan of Ricky 'The Dragon.'"

DENVER -- In a game filled with dramatic swings, Justin Tucker delivered the finishing touch and Joe Flacco used his arm to find an answer to every challenge. Tucker kicked a 47-yard field goal with 13:18 left in the second overtime, capping a remarkable last-ditch comeback led by Flacco as the Baltimore Ravens ousted the top-seeded Denver Broncos 38-35 in a divisional playoff Sunday. The Ravens advanced to next week's AFC title game against either New England or Houston by beating Peyton Manning for the first time in 10 tries and withstanding punt and kickoff returns for touchdowns by Trindon Holliday, the first player to do that in an NFL postseason game. "Thanks for bearing witness to one of the greatest football games you're ever going to see," a drained but exhilarated Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "A punt return to start the game, a kickoff return to start the second half; innumerable plays back and forth in a battle. Our guys did not crack." Playing in bitter col...

Science Policy and the Obama Administration
Science, as it has in the past, will play a vital role in determining America's economic viability. Yet, our global leadership in this crucial area is more vulnerable than ever. Scientists in the U.S. face major roadblocks: a decrease in federal funding, restrictive policies, suppression of research findings to suit political agendas, to name a few. The excitement to reverse this trend, as promised by president-elect Barack Obama, is palpable. With the current financial crisis and national debt, America can't afford to sideline science. Join us for an advice session to the Obama administration on science and the future of America. Leading the discussion will be Marc Kastner, MIT's Dean of Science. Eugene Skolnikoff, Emeritus Professor of Political Science at MIT and a former director of CIS, will chair the discussion.

Stylish, studio oasis, just 100m to Bondi Beach! Bondi, New South Wales, Australia
Additional Location Information
This beautiful beach is the closest to the Sydney city centre (8kms) and is home to the one of the world's oldest surf life saving clubs, if not the oldest, 1km long, this beach can attract more than 40,000 visitors on a typical summer weekend.
The surf can range from very large waves one day to calm and quiet the next. If the surf gets too large for your enjoyment, there are two pools at either end of the beach, at the southern end, the famous Bondi Icebergs and the northern end with the Kiddies Pool.
At Bondi, you can find some great restaurants and nightlife. The dress is usually casual with t-shirts, sandals and shorts quite acceptable in most of the dining places, many with views. The Bondi Pavilion, on the beachfront, often has entertainment and exhibitions.
There is a great coastal walk (6km) starting at the south end of the beach that takes in spectacular ocean views and allows you to visit a number of smaller but still scenic beaches all the way to Coogee. Or learn how to surf with lessons from a personal instructor.
There is so much to do….. or just laze on the sand!

UNITED NATIONS (AP) - Nuclear experts from Iran and six world powers are meeting in New York this week amid rising hopes that an agreement can be reached to limit Iran's ability to produce nuclear weapons before a July 20 deadline.
The toughest issues must still be negotiated, and any deal could still fall apart.
But Russia, the International Atomic Energy Agency and outside experts tracking the negotiations agree that the Iranians are cooperating, answering questions that they previously avoided and appear to want an agreement that ends crippling sanctions.
Hopes for a deal were bolstered by news that international nuclear inspectors plan to visit two sites in Iran in the coming days, which an official said Sunday would fulfill demands made by the United Nations nuclear watchdog. A report by Iran's official IRNA news agency quoted Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman of Iran's atomic department, as saying the inspectors will visit a uranium mine and a uranium-thickening facility in central Iranian towns of Ardakan and Yazd on Monday and Tuesday.
Daryl Kimball, executive director of the Washington-based Arms Control Association, stressed that negotiators have said repeatedly there's no agreement until all outstanding issues are resolved. But he said he remains optimistic.
"We see encouraging signs that both sides are showing flexibility and pragmatism that is necessary to put together the final package," he said.
Iran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, aimed at producing nuclear energy, but the U.S., its Western allies and Israel have long believed Tehran's real aim is producing nuclear weapons.
The experts are meeting in New York this week to prepare for the next ministerial-level negotiations in Vienna on May 13.
Their closed-door sessions, starting Monday, are taking place on the sidelines of the third and final preparatory conference for next year's review of the landmark 1970 Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, a pact aimed at stopping the spread of nuclear weapons.
Patricia Lewis, former head of the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research who now directs research on international security at London's Royal Institute of International Affairs, said "there's been a big change" in Iran's approach compared to two years ago, "when it was just constant stalemate" on efforts to rein in its nuclear program.
"There has been real moving ahead and real genuine progress in what they've been trying to achieve," she said. "They're small steps, but they're significant steps. I would say, so far, so good. I'm holding my breath."
The change in Iran was sparked by the election of centrist President Hasan Rouhani, who replaced hard-liner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 2013. Rouhani pledged to reduce confrontation with the international community over its nuclear activities, and agreed to restart stalled negotiations with the six powers in November.
That agreement with the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany requires Iran to stop enrichment of uranium to 20 percent - which is a possible pathway to nuclear arms - in exchange for the easing of some Western sanctions.
The two sides are working toward a permanent agreement by July 20 that would cap Iran's enrichment program, reduce its stockpile of 20 percent enriched uranium and turn some of it into a solid form which is less usable in bomb-making, and curb other atomic activities in exchange for lifting all sanctions.
The November agreement also agreed to allow the U.N. nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, to visit its nuclear facilities.

I did not understand why you invested such a money to these lenses without research and I did not understand why you wanted to sell after only few rolls. I think as I said it was GAS and now you need money as usual as Leica bashers experienced.
