Interesting Larry Harris quotes….

…now did this book also include blitzing, strafing, infantry push mechanic, deadzones and shuck shuck ?

FYI, here is a link to a project (ending in the next 7 hours) on Kickstarter that has been wildly successful.
Part of that success is because of how well the project was presented, the stretch goals and what you get for funding it (plus the quality of the work being produced of course)!

There are many examples of similar, incredibly successful crowd-funded projects.  This is only the most recent that I’ve been interested in personally (and wish so much to have had the money to back it now).

I often come across interesting news and information sources and thought maybe it might be of value of we could share some of them.  I would suggest nothing that was too narrow in focus or too partisan on issues.  If there is a partisan slant then it should at least be somewhat subtle, polite and humourous if possible.

Some of my historic favourites are:

http://www.globalsecurity.org/ -  No doubt the best source of weapons systems and general military/intelligence related topics.  Clear the cookie for this site to get past the number of article restrictions.

This is a new one to me, some of his views are opposite of mine but he does have humour to me.  This came to me when surfing and was a link to US natural gas production.  That article was here:

It seemed well written so I checked out the blog and liked his style, but it’s not been fully vetted yet.  I would be considered leftist in the US (on some issues that seem to be hot button and rightist on economic issues) but his recent comments on David Gregory et al were pretty funny

This website of course, it should be everyone’s goto site!

@Cromwell_Dude:

Just saw Skyfall. Horrible movie. Bad script. Boring movie. Don’t waste your money.

Still sunny here, may have to turn on the AC soon.

@dabaron:

The term “Palestine” was invented by the Romans as a means to dishonor the Jews, because they hated them. They wanted to file the Jews and the Arabs together in a land called “Palestine” instead of Israel. So really, the “Palestinians” are just Jordanian Arabs that have lived in the region since the great dispersion and, in my opinion, have no rightful claim to the land whatsoever. Now let’s get back to the topic, unusual stuff.

You’re quite right, dabaron. “Palestine” was what Emperor Hadrian named Judea (omdern day Israel) after the second revlot against Rome in 135 CE. It came from the extinct nation of the Philistines. Hadrian hoepd that by naming Judea and all its cities after extinct nations, he could eventually make the Jews extinct. He failed.
