Greg, I've already go Montreal - 50! Pick something else.
Currently, everything for Montreal is available from 40 and below, and from 60 and above.
Everything for Winnipeg is available from 35 and below, and from 75 and above.

I am thinking now that this might be a low scoring game, by Grey Cup standards.
Montreal's offense isn't very good, but they do have a good field goal kicker, David Cote. I can see Winnipeg holding Montreal to a touchdown and maybe three field goals.
Montreal's defense is good and getting better. I can see them holding Winnipeg to less than what they usually score, maybe 24.
A final score of 24-13 isn't out of the question.
Ah, meant to hit 6, not 5!
Montreal 60! Always a chance!

Montreal, 50!!

Just finished season 2 of The Wire - now on to season 3.
I always thought Season 2 was the best! But they are all good.

born and raised in Canada, I've never had poutine. Gross.

Damn this is very sad news. Those first two albums were so good, such a unique sound for the time. What a collection of talent The Band was.

Wow! When can I preorder this??!!

It's like she didn't even at least check Wikipedia before writing this!
"If we review his career, we know that he started with Be Bop. His work with Art Blakey was “pace-setting.” But having mastered that he moved on to form his own group, Weather Report. During his stint with his group, his “quest” took him to Jazz Fusion. He’d go on to compose many jazz standards and refined modern Harmonic language."

I've listened to so much of his music, so many times, I almost feel like a little part of me died with this news. Just so sad.

Huh, I had no idea. I pretty much avoid youtube except for when a link is sent to me, so I wouldn't know of anyone "youtube famous". Good interview with Jarrett though.
-
I'm a little puzzled by all the comments regarding this Beato guy. Did I miss something, who is he? I've never heard of him before this interview, so I don't have much opinion of him. Is he famous or something?

Well, sure; but he has Jarrett' trust enough to get him on camera so gets a pass from me because I doubt anyone else could have made this happen.
thanks for posting this video. Fascinating!

I don't know about those, but this is what I use:
I like it because the lid never leaks, as the lid itself screws into place, and the opening is a push button. I've carried this one sideways and even upside down while trying to get all of my stuff out of the car and there have been no leaks at all. I have found that other travel mugs eventually leak at the lid.

If you liked the original Fillmore East May 1971 album, I'd advise someone to grab this box at a good price. I found it amazing to hear how tight and inventive was the band. Aynsley Dunbar was a great drummer, I love Flo & Eddie (I know opinions differ, which is why I started this comment with "If you liked..."), I was blown away by the compositions, and the band is tight as all getout. I agree, 4 versions of Billy The Mountain is way too much (I never even liked it the first time, on Just Another Band From L.A.), so just skip over them. The booklet is fabulous (don't miss the interview with Ian Underwood), and, above all else, don't miss the Rainbow concert. It's astonishing to hear them, after the fire at Montreux, appear with rented instruments and be as great as they were. The verite moment at the end is what it is; I felt like a voyeur listening to it once, although it is fascinating and dramatic, and I probably will never listen to it again.
I was really surprised at how good this set is, when coming to it from the perspective of the Fillmore East album. The multiple Billy The Mountains, Wille The Pimp and King Kongs have so much excellent music that makes this set the definitive version of this band, for me (and I really am not a fan at all of Flo & Eddie).

this is a fantastic suggestion! I've learned a lot from his liner notes, and are always worth a re-read. Never a wasted word!

I met the members of Organissimo, Chuck Nessa and a member named connoisseur series (I don't think he is on here anymore) at an Organissimo gig in Ann Arbor in I think 2004, and Chuck again at an Edgefest show featuring Muhal Richard Abrams and George Lewis a few years later. Also was supposed to meet Chris Albertson at an event where he was going to speak (I forget the topic) in 2003 but I had to drop out. Everyone was nice and friendly! Good times

Winnipeg 60

Includes the albums in high res audio on Blu Ray too!

Hard pass on this. But The Rising is a classic! Great rock album.

Anthony and James will be at Edgefest next month.
If I was still in Ann Arbor I would definitely go see them

okay so let me see if I understand this... Vol. 6 was a 4CD set that had been published numerous times in several different sets and Vol. 7 is a 3cd set that no one wanted to release in 40 years. Did I miss anything? What am I not getting?
nailed it

I'm not a virus psychologist, but if anybody here is, please advise.
Is Omicron an effort by the virus to stay alive by any means, i.e. - willing to spread more at the expense of potency?
Or...
Is it an attempt to sacrifice immediate potency for the sake of getting a chance to regroup into a more potent form when the opportunity presents itself?
Of course, viruses don't "think" (that we know of yet...), but patterns of survival in all life forms...possibilities exist. Some strategies lead to increase, some lead to decrease (and even extinction).
I guess we'll know when we get there. But the lack of a really consistent population strategy seems to be to almost exponentially increase the range of variables, and more variable is probably not what we should feel good about in terms of a possible positive end game? Right?
Real science people, speak up here, please.
It's more just the result of constant mutations that produces these variants of concern, than any strategy that the virus might have. SARS-CoV2 is an RNA virus, so it tends to mutate with very high frequency. If enough of those mutations result in a change that allows the virus to infect cells easier, or get around antibodies, or spread from host to host in higher numbers, then that will be come the dominant variant strain. So, it's mostly luck.
With the possibility that omicron arose from an immunocompromised patient who was unable to fully clear the virus from their body and thus allow the virus to continuously undergo mutation until the sequence for omicron became established which could then spread through populations with low vaccination rates, it is more important than ever to get more people around the world vaccinated.

Is the game later than usual this year? Isn't this typically in late November?

Finally I did one google search and sent her two links: The CDC page on vaccines and allergy sufferers and a Cleveland Clinic page about the ingredients for each vaccine. She did her own research, and determined that Moderna has some ingredient related to aspirin, while Pfizer didn't. So Pfizer it is.
just wanted to clear something up here. There is nothing related to aspirin in the Moderna, or the Pfizer vaccines. They each contain different lipid mixtures that make up the nanoparticle that delivers the mRNA to cells. The remainder is buffer.
