Dis the last sequence that I saw was : Whitby Dunlops Victory Parade - 1958 to A rare photo of the Montreal Canadiens' Big Three. After that - nothing. It's the same for at work and at home At work it is IE 9? and at home it is Edge. I am wondering if it is the site that you are linking to like twitter... Edit: I just tried to quote the one above mine and saw this as the source code: quote author=" Disgruntled70sHab" source="/post/476849/thread" timestamp="1441382772"] twitter url="https://twitter.com/ClassicPixs/status/633112580685434881" [/quote |

I'm using Chrome and I'm not having any problems ... but, I do have problems at work from time to time ... we're using IE (version ?) and a lot of these pics tend to show up when they want ... that's not saying a lot, but that's the best I can offer with the experience I have ... Cheers. |

I'm using Firefox on a Mac. No problems. Wish I had given a MAC more time to work for me ... I ended up bringing it back and exchanging it for a Toshiba ... however, had I known that WIN 8 was trying to clone the features in a MAC, I'd have stuck with it ... Cheers. |

Bob Beamon had one of those spectacular 'moments' in a career when he jumped 29' 2 1/2 inches (8.9 metres) in the long jump at the 1968 Mexico summer Olympic games. That record held until August 30, 1991 when Mike Powell jumped 8.95 metres. That figure is still the world record, 24 years later. So after Beamon's 1968 leap, there's only been one jump further. That is freaking amazing.  |

Their first game in their new home was played on December 29, 1967, a 4-2 loss to the Montreal Junior Canadiens. I enjoy identifying players in vintage pictures. hockey.db is a good resource. The 1967-68 OHL section lists the following players in the picture above. Montreal#15 Ralph Stewart (251 NHL games). #20 Francois Lacombe (78 NHL games; 440 WHA games). #17 Michel Jacques (played only 17 games after that season, in the IHL and CHL). Ottawa#3 Jim Nahrgang (57 NHL games) #11 Pete Laframboise (227 NHL games; 17 WHA games) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the Montreal roster that season: Guy Lapointe, Marc Tardif, Rejean Houle, Gilbert Perreault, Pierre Bouchard, J.P. Bordeleau. On the Ottawa roster that season: Murray Wilson, Pierre Jarry, Jean Potvin, Terry Murray (longtime NHL coach, now an assistant in Buffalo), Bill Clement, Denis Potvin (played his first 3 Jr. games). |

I don't remember how he did after the Olympics, though ... Cheers. |

The Mexico jump was just one of those moments in time that can't be repeated. |

Goaltender Tony Esposito in his 1968-69 Montreal Canadiens portrait. Esposito played 13 games for the Canadiens that season before being left unprotected in a June 1969 intraleague draft, where he was claimed by the Chicago Blackhawks for $30,000. He would win the Calder and Vézina trophies in 1969-70 as the NHL’s best rookie and goalie, respectively, and go on to become a Hall of Famer. David Bier / Monreal Gazette files  |

(Chuck) Yeager broke the sound barrier on October 14, 1947, flying the X-1 at Mach 1.07 at an altitude of 45,000 ft (13,700 m) over the Rogers Dry Lake in the Mojave Desert ... Two nights before the scheduled date for the flight, Yeager broke two ribs when he fell from a horse. He was so afraid of being removed from the mission that he went to a veterinarian in a nearby town for treatment and told only his wife, as well as friend and fellow project pilot Jack Ridley about the accident. On the day of the flight, Yeager was in such pain that he could not seal the X-1's hatch by himself. Ridley rigged up a device, using the end of a broom handle as an extra lever, to allow Yeager to seal the hatch of the X-1. (Wiki)  |
