You might be. I'd for sure have other options. Always have, among them Merle Haggard. Which ain't exactly Tommy Tune. actually, i bought 2 merle haggard vinyls yesterday.

NYC is the main reason.

i never realized the bat bent on impact. the potential of this camera in golf and football is scary. there will be competitors on other networks to even outdo this incredible technology.

5,000 fps camera 'For the NLCS and World Series, however, FOX supplemented its trio of standard v642s with a pair of custom-built rigs from Inertia Unlimited of Jacksonville, VT. Dubbed the X-Mo, this system is comprised of a v642 modified to shoot in full HD up to 5,000 fps. The camera uses a 2.3-foot long, 35-pound, $26,000 Canon Sigma 200-500mm "SigZilla" lens, and a Telecast Copperhead 3400 fiber optic transceiver.'

a heartbreaking op-ed composition on muhammad ali by dick cavett. NYT article "Before dinner, for a sizable fee, for a good cause, of course, you could sit on a couch beside him and have your picture taken with the only three-time heavyweight champion of the world. A long line of well-heeled folk did before returning to, at the top of the scale, their $100,000 tables."

SI didn't write that. It's a Tweet that somebody posted, and SI put it in their magazine as their Tweet of the Week. SI was ONCE very classy, indeed.

LINK ""Weekend after weekend, we'd drive all over the Midwest for bouts in a broken-down car," he said. "We'd pile six or eight kids into one cheap motel room, go to McDonald's and split a few hamburgers. I was always big on our boxers looking good and sharp. I'd wash our uniforms in the sink and dry them on the hood of the car. Coming back from Chicago or Indianapolis, everyone would be sleeping. The next day, I was back to work at the electric company.""

"Tweet of the Week" from this week's Sports Illustrated: "For Halloween, Lance Armsrong should dress up as a 7-time Tour de France winner."

i think this is called getting media ratings and eyeballs.

it doesn't seem to be the tigers night again tonight. they aren't helping themselves. it seems to me that pitchers should be required to wear, at the least, batting helmets, amd perhaps, helmets with a frontal cage.

bring home a 4 pack of guinness FOREIGN extra stout(about 10 bucks). your better half will love it. i'm enjoying one now.

LINK This site provides information about the digital restoration of an Edison tinfoil record which dates from 1878. The restoration was done as part of a larger project to restore, preserve, and create digital access to sound recordings using non-invasive optical methods. This project is a collaboration between Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Library of Congress.

it might be fair to say that jazz will not ever be as popular because of the fertile song era, but that it will probably survive in much less conspicuous, more creative forms.

from the atlantic LINK "John Lewis, the music director of the Modern Jazz Quartet, noted: “Jazz developed while the great popular music was being turned out. It was a golden age for songs. They had a classic quality in length and shape and form and flexibility of harmony. The jazz musicians were drawn to this music as a source of material.” The Songbook, a product of a fleeting set of cultural circumstances when popular, sophisticated music was aimed at musically knowledgeable adults, was the crucial wellspring of jazz. Both jazz and its progenitor are worthy of radical—indeed, reactionary—efforts to preserve them. But despite Gioia’s ardency, there is no reason to believe that jazz can be a living, evolving art form decades after its major source—and the source that linked it to the main currents of popular culture and sentiment—has dried up. Jazz, like the Songbook, is a relic—and as such, in 2012 it cannot have, as Gioia wishes for it, an “expansive and adaptive repertoire.”"

Jon Morosi of Fox Sports reports the Detroit Tigers & San Francisco Giants have set a new record for most foreign-born players to compete in a World Series with 20.============== 1st game winners capture 62% of world series.

now that's funny. our beloved goody is reveling, veritably polishing his superlatives. :rolleyes:

:rolleyes: a yawn--coming from an adjacent beast, is a beautiful sign of a richer harmony and relationship we cannot understand.

LINK "The health bulletin There are many indicators of the healty state of jazz: the number of clubs, of record stores, of record sales, of specialized magazines and their history and readers, websites and flow, record productions, artists, the nature of their expression and their lifestyle, the importance of advertising, its exposure in the media, the importance of jazz artists and not only the acknowledged ‘stars’ in the business or those with more than a 60 year old career or an obituary. Of course there are summer jazz festivals with their artistic content, an annual barometer intended to represent the artistic state of jazz and its public which can be more or less of good quality. All these elements are not only quantitative but mainly qualitative and one must use these figures very cautiously in order to avoid making them say what they don’t mean. So a jazz festival with an increase of paying spectators does not necessarily mean it is in good health nor if jazz is in good shape. It happens –as is often the case– that a jazz festival is doped with commerciality to increase its gain. Like any other drug, you need more and more, and that is the best way for jazz to vanish from the horizon. What is the sense of a jazz festival without jazz and an audience of jazz connoisseurs? This summer in Europe, as for the past few years, even before the economic crisis, festivals, that depend on local authorities, sponsors and now the crisis, suffer from specific restraints that prompt them to modify the nature of their programming or their budget of guest artists, when they are not struggling to survive. This phenonemon varies in every country and impacts the artistic content, the communication, the quality and length of the gathering, with significant consequences as much for the musicians as for all the actors whose work depends on these festivals on a local, national or international scale."

i must try that saturday am. thx.

yummy

nostalgia is a great hustle. of course, jazz fans are not susceptible to that nostalgia thing..... sinatra has always been a weakness of the high rollers.

i drove down the RAILROAD tracks in the bay area about 50 years ago. somehow, i, and the vehicle, survived and escaped unscathed without the intervention of gendarmes. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ========================================== This is just too good, too natural. the white sox should put ozzie guillen in the broadcast booth with hawk harrelson. they'd kill each other in under three weeks. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

wcbs guys and gals were the best news readers i've ever heard. palmer payne was my favorite.
