SOUTHPORT, England -- In a part of the world where layers of History are measured in centuries, not years or even decades, the proceedings on the shores of the Irish Sea Friday were on perfect soil. Such blasts from the past were provided in the second round of the 137th British Open that officials didn't turn back the clock; instead, they used something more representative of the era in which the subjects once teed it up. ...

I've recently come across some artwork created by Latvian modernist artists during what is called the "diaspora" period of Latvian art. It's been interesting to learn about that period and to revisit my History lessons about Latvia and its several occupations. (Diaspora in this context refers to a dispersion of a people from their original homeland, and the community formed by those people.) ... Source: www.winespectator.com --- 16 days ago
Whenever I visit the Rhône, I try to set aside some time for a retrospective tasting (you can reference my past reviews of the 1 and 1 vintages in Châteauneuf-du-Pape).

History (the former History Channel) served wine and beer before and during its session for critics. Unfortunately, it was one of the least-attended sessions of any network so far, mainly because the rest of the day had been so jammed packed. I was there, though. Some comedy shows serve beer and wine before a taping so the audience will be in an easier mood for laughing. I guess it applies with History, too. I laughed all throughout that session on "Einstein" and his theories. I had no idea String Theory could be so funny, and I nearly wet my pants when they started talking about his theory on relativity. I'm just glad they didn't get off on the subject of the War of 1812. Honey, I would have been rolling in the floor. Hey, maybe CNN should liquor us up when they present! Question: Should I feel guilty that I had a wine glass in front of me when A&E presented a session later in the same hour about an interventionalist? As I lifted my glass during the A&E session, I thought to myself, "Wow, some people have a real problem with addictions and they just can't see it!" ...

After Basketball, Barton and I were having an intense debate about culturism and censorship when he cut in with what seemed to be a total non sequitur, "That means that I and all black people's culture should not be allowed?" Since he is black and I'm white and we never really discuss race, I felt I needed to tread delicately. "What does that mean? I'm not sure how you got there." "Well black culture says that studying in school is acting white, that's a big part of black culture, does that mean that black people are bad?" My reply got nodding and an acceptance of my side in a way that usually only happens in fantasy conversations. "That is a very new kind of thinking." "What?" "For most of History black people in t... more ... Source: hnn.us --- 23 days ago
Source: Reuters (6-30-08) Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says Harry Truman, the common sense everyman from Missouri, was one of his favorite presidents. On Monday, he took a few minutes on the campaign trail to soak up some Truman History. After Obama delivered a speech on the meaning of patriotism at an auditorium in the Truman presidential library complex in Independence, Missouri, he strolled over to Truman’s old house a few blocks away. He stopped to visit well-wishers along the way, shaking hands and joking with supporters, who poured out of neighboring houses to say hello and stopped on the street to cheer him. When one man yelled that his wife thought he was cute and he had her vote, Obama laughed and said “I like that.” Looking at the woman, he jokingly asked: “Does he always embarrass you like that?” ...

• It's the 25th anniversary of the pine tar incident: "An enraged Brett instantly charged McClelland, screaming wildly while being restrained by teammates and Royals manager Dick Howser. But the call stood, the game History." [ Stiles Points ] • Alright, mustaches have officially become overexposed: “We are very pleased that Josh Collmenter and the Silver Hawks organization have embraced the thick tuft of hair above Josh’s upper lip, and we’re glad that Josh fully realizes the power, strength and ability it adds to his pitching prowess”, said Aaron Perlut, the institute’s executive director. “Josh sports a high-quality Chevron-style mustache. It’s a little-known fact that a mustache of that type can be used to store nuts and berries during the winter season.” [ Ump Bump ] • Parents will do anything to build a champion : "What’s worse, the fact that 8-year-old Anastasiya Korzh was kicked out of a tennis tournament for being hooked up to an earpiece while playing so her father could talk to her, or the fact that the dad tried to cover the whole thing up? Ready for a wild one?"

This action is apparently typical of many Dutch motivational speakers. [ You Been Blinded ] ...
What has a rear-mounted, air-cooled V8, was made in Czechoslovakia, and had a reputation for killing Nazis? That's right, the Tatra! This example is a 1938 Tatra T87, owned and operated by none other than self-proclaimed member of the "more money than brains" club, Jay Leno. And if it that wasn't impressive enough, Jay, as he is with most of the machines in his eclectic collection, is knowledgeable enough about the Czech brand to give us a brief History Lesson. Oh, and he takes the car out for a drive too. Check out the vid after the jump. [ Jay Leno's Garage ] ...
