For all the heaps of praise this one has gotten, it's never really worked for me. "It Was A Very Good Year", yeah, sure. But otherwise...I dunno. It's potent ammunition for those who think that Sinatra's artistry was based more on sentiment than skill, I think. Now, Moonlight Sinatra, that's one from roughly the same time that gets the ears going. sinatra/dorsey and the the columbia and capitol years stuff are essential. aloc wishes frank had stopped singing after 1966. that said, sinatra/september of my years has sentimental value for the alocster.

oh my. several of us seem to have not enough ears.

sinatra/september of my years.

is this heaven or what?

http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/20/isabody...e-radiation/New men's underwear protects from harmful cell phone rays le_slip_suisse_qui_protege_le_sperme_lmo_article_230.jpg Swiss clothing manufacturer Isabodywear is launching a special line of men's underwear that claims to protect "men's sperm from harmful cell phone radiation". The briefs are made with threads of silver which the company claims blocks cell phone rays and reception. The inventor, Andreas Sallmann, explains that when you put a cell phone inside your briefs, then dial your number from another phone, you probably won't even get a signal. 4000 black (only) briefs have been made so far and 500 will be been given away for test purposes, by simply sending the company an email. [via Swiss daily paper Le Matin (In French)] Other protective clothing concepts: -- A New York based store sells dress shirts and caps designed to protect people from electromagnetic fields -- or radiation -- given off by cell phones and electronic devices. -- Singapore-based garment manufacturer Crocodile International launched smart pants or "Radiguard' specialty trousers" for cell-phone buffs who exposed exposed to the ultra magnetic emission from the cell-phones. -- In September 2002, Levi Strauss announced the launch of a new Dockers' model with anti-radiation-lined pockets, prompted by customers' concerns about the possible health risks of mobile phone use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday, May 21, 2007 Isabodywear underwear fends off cellphone radiation I don't know but it's been a while since my penis got a phonecall. If you thought donning tin foil caps was excessive, Isabodywear is out to make those contraptions looks mighty mild. While the debate about just how dangerous (or not) cellphone radiation is still rages on, there's certainly a paranoid sect that will snap up anything that claims to "protect them," and this Swiss garb maker is latching onto said opportunity. Yes, we all exploit the crazy people. I mean, how else can you explain the success of Pokemon? The briefs are purportedly constructed with threads made of silver, which the company claims will fend off harmful cellphone radiation; moreover, in an effort to really prove just how effective these undergarments are, it suggests that phone calls originated within the confines of your new underwear simply won't connect. Well that's no good. What if I'm away and I leave my testicles in charge of taking messages? Reportedly, 4,000 pairs have been created so far, and for folks willing to give these a try and fill out a survey, the first 500 of you to email in and request one will seemingly have one sent out gratis. A free pair of cellphone radiation blocking underwear? That would go perfect with my radiowave-jamming baseball cap.

isnt this kcr thing an incredible orgy of music or what? hope there's a kcr in heaven.

what diets did your children, if any, use? No kids, though I did have a vegetarian dog. (Long story...about the dog, that is.) I wouldn't think of raising a kid vegetarian or vegan until: (1) he/she was physically and psychologically developed and (2) he/she was informed and responsible about nutrition and (3) he/she independently wanted to adopt such a foolish life choice*. I see all these college kids adopting vegetarian diets that consist of candy bars, cheese pizza, white bread, donuts (assuming one can find vegetarian donuts), falafel, tofu** and other such TRASH. They're holier-than-thou for a while. * I'm being a bit facetious here. Ethically or nutritionally, veganism and vegetarianism CAN be fine, and they're a lot easier to live with than 30 years ago, but maintaining a sound diet under such restrictions can be challenging. ** Okay in moderation, I suppose. hope to hear here of the vegetarian dog someday. thanks.

i attended a vegan easter brunch, orchestrated by a well meaning trendy wife, just once. it was indeed a solemn affair. as you fed the cats their 9 lives, i would sneak her hubby big macs at work, so he wouldnt be seen coming or going from the big mac joint.

Op-Ed Contributor Death by Veganism By NINA PLANCK WHEN Crown Shakur died of starvation, he was 6 weeks old and weighed 3.5 pounds. His vegan parents, who fed him mainly soy milk and apple juice, were convicted in Atlanta recently of murder, involuntary manslaughter and cruelty. This particular calamity — at least the third such conviction of vegan parents in four years — may be largely due to ignorance. But it should prompt frank discussion about nutrition. I was once a vegan. But well before I became pregnant, I concluded that a vegan pregnancy was irresponsible. You cannot create and nourish a robust baby merely on foods from plants. Indigenous cuisines offer clues about what humans, naturally omnivorous, need to survive, reproduce and grow: traditional vegetarian diets, as in India, invariably include dairy and eggs for complete protein, essential fats and vitamins. There are no vegan societies for a simple reason: a vegan diet is not adequate in the long run. Protein deficiency is one danger of a vegan diet for babies. Nutritionists used to speak of proteins as “first class” (from meat, fish, eggs and milk) and “second class” (from plants), but today this is considered denigrating to vegetarians. The fact remains, though, that humans prefer animal proteins and fats to cereals and tubers, because they contain all the essential amino acids needed for life in the right ratio. This is not true of plant proteins, which are inferior in quantity and quality — even soy. A vegan diet may lack vitamin B12, found only in animal foods; usable vitamins A and D, found in meat, fish, eggs and butter; and necessary minerals like calcium and zinc. When babies are deprived of all these nutrients, they will suffer from retarded growth, rickets and nerve damage. Responsible vegan parents know that breast milk is ideal. It contains many necessary components, including cholesterol (which babies use to make nerve cells) and countless immune and growth factors. When breastfeeding isn’t possible, soy milk and fruit juice, even in seemingly sufficient quantities, are not safe substitutes for a quality infant formula. Yet even a breast-fed baby is at risk. Studies show that vegan breast milk lacks enough docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, the omega-3 fat found in fatty fish. It is difficult to overstate the importance of DHA, vital as it is for eye and brain development. A vegan diet is equally dangerous for weaned babies and toddlers, who need plenty of protein and calcium. Too often, vegans turn to soy, which actually inhibits growth and reduces absorption of protein and minerals. That’s why health officials in Britain, Canada and other countries express caution about soy for babies. (Not here, though — perhaps because our farm policy is so soy-friendly.) Historically, diet honored tradition: we ate the foods that our mothers, and their mothers, ate. Now, your neighbor or sibling may be a meat-eater or vegetarian, may ferment his foods or eat them raw. This fragmentation of the American menu reflects admirable diversity and tolerance, but food is more important than fashion. Though it’s not politically correct to say so, all diets are not created equal. An adult who was well-nourished in utero and in infancy may choose to get by on a vegan diet, but babies are built from protein, calcium, cholesterol and fish oil. Children fed only plants will not get the precious things they need to live and grow. Nina Planck is the author of “Real Food: What to Eat and Why.”

sam adams honey porter. perfectly acceptable, but certainly not up to aloc's usual recent standards.

Fats Domino makes post-Katrina return to stage The Associated Press Sunday, May 20, 2007 NEW ORLEANS: Friends and fans of Fats Domino were emotional as the 79-year-old rock legend took the stage before a sold-out crowd of hundreds in a New Orleans nightclub Saturday, marking his first public performance since before Hurricane Katrina. "He's been through so much, like a lot of us. It was great to see him out there. It really was," said Art Neville, one of the four original Neville Brothers, just moments after Domino performed a string of hits, including "I'm Ready," "Ain't That a Shame," "Shake, Rattle and Roll" and "Valley of Tears." Domino last performed in public on Memorial Day 2005. Three months later, he lost his home, his pianos, his gold and platinum records, and much of the city he loves during Katrina. He was rescued by boat from his flooded home after the storm struck on Aug. 29, 2005. In May 2006, Domino was scheduled to close the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, but his nerves got the better of him and he canceled his performance just hours before he was to take the stage. Domino turned 79 in February. In March, he walked through his flood-ravaged house, which was under renovation, saying he is ready to be home. The Tipitina's Foundation, which put on Saturday night's show, is working to help. The foundation has teamed with such artists as Elton John, Tom Petty, Bonnie Raitt, Lenny Kravitz, Willie Nelson, B.B. King, Paul McCartney and others to record a tribute album of Domino's songs. Proceeds will benefit the foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to providing the city's public schools with instruments and helping artists recover from the hurricane. Roughly 25 percent of the proceeds will go toward the restoration of Domino's home, which is expected to cost more than $100,000 (€74,200), said Bill Taylor, the foundation's executive director. Domino is expected to move back in this summer — a sign of hope for many in the heavily devastated neighborhood. "So long, so long, I'm goin' home," Domino sang, closing out the show.

living in fear that wkcr will get too many online listeners and poor aloc will miss a schaapism or ten. their old country music festival a few months ago was a thing of beauty, as well.
