    NTSC vs. PAL question

    In the bad old days, PAL and NTSC videos were incompatible formats...VHS tapes were not viewable on the other system. With newer formats, is it possible to view PAL stuff on new North American equipment, or are we still stuck with the PAL/NTSC roadblock? I'd like to buy a few DVD titles from...

    HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY

    Here is a shot at Vimy looking up the slope that one arm of the attack would have had to negotiate. Tough sledding! The grass is not the surface they would have had....it was mostly mud....the shell holes were there, however. This is a closer shot of the monument itself with a few...
