  1. 15?

    When did eggs start to come in groups of 15?

    Whatever happened to respect for tradition?

    I'm completely ignorant about football/soccer -- could there be 15 players dressed per team in a game? That'd make it 'a tribute' package.

    In Canada, we get eggs by the dozen, and there are (in some big stores) packages of 18. You want just 6? Some shops may cut a 12-pack in half for you, and charge 60% of the price...

    Wrong sport! There are however 15 players in a rugby union team.

  2. Hmmm...well I searched for a Grant Green thread and didn't find one, at least under Artists--thus I started this one.

    OK, support for my complaint today about the board's search function. Let's face it, guys, it sux. IPB, are you listening?

    Yep, I agree

    I normally search via Google (or other search engine) & insert organissimo with the criteria

    Just searched under Artists, titles only and 15 threads appeared, so not sure what the problem is.

  3. Rubicon.

    Love the fact that it doesn't play to the lowest common denominator of viewer intelligence. I'm quite caught up in trying to unravel the plot(s) but fear the slow pace and lack of action will lead the studio to do an axe job on it before it has chance to develop. Really like the Gordon Willis style cinematography.

    Late as usual but just recorded and watched the entire 13 episodes. Really enjoyed Rubicon and wish there had been a second series to answer at least a few of the unanswered questions!

  4. Nice to have decent stores here in Tokyo. Cycled over to the Disk Union in Shinjuku yesterday and picked up the following for around $1 each.

    Johnny Griffin - The Congregation (TOCJ)

    Clare Fischer - Surging Ahead (TOCJ)

    Charlie Haden - Quartet West

    Terence Blanchard - Jazz In Film

    Also a Mosaic set, Ike Quebec - Complete Blue Note 45 Sessions for around $15.

  5. Life was the first time I really noticed him, loved the series and wish it had remained on the air longer.

    Same here, first time I saw him was in 'Life'. Never saw him in 'The Forsyte Saga'.

    I too liked 'Life' a lot and was quite smitten with Sarah Shahi as his sidekick. Happy to see she will be appearing in 'Person of Interest'. Anyone else love that show?
