ode to aaron rogers-- those weeks off dun' done the green and gold wrong.

indeed, the rich clubs have caught on--the cubbies are just being indoctrinated in it by theo epstein. i enjoy viewing sports, but only on a personal level. sports crowds and sports bars are ugly. i cannot abide them.

did you ever believe in anything so strongly and know you are right, but the world and the system, and the masses say you are a fool? if you love baseball, or new ways of thinking, or kids, or brad pitt, or just darn fine movies this close to real life adaptation of the book will spellbind and delight you. brad pitt put hs considerable soul into this movie and his listed as a co-producer. the movie is about billy beane, once a promising baseball player, then and now, general manager of baseball's oakland athletics, who believes that intense statistical evaluation of baseball player would be much more effective than the current way of wildly expensive scouting hits and misses. most small market teams had to find alternative, less expensive methods of scouting and roster building. sabermetrics proved beane's and the small market teams' salvation. the indians mark shapiro plays himself in a cameo role. peter brand (jonah hill) a sports statistics nerd from cornell university, lurking unknown in the lower management levels of the cleveland indians, becomes his advisor, buddy, and right hand man. there are many story lines from the season which ended with a playoff loss, we all watch hundreds of movies. most are forgotten the next day. moneyball will stay with you. this was just released to dvd january 10 of this year. <a href=" http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/?action=view&amp;current=brad-pitt-moneyball.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/th_brad-pitt-moneyball.jpg" border="0" alt="" ></a> <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/?action=view&amp;current=jeffisgr8t-7181954.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/th_jeffisgr8t-7181954.jpg" border="0" alt="" ></a> <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/?action=view&amp;current=stock-photo-money-ball-abstract-from-photographed-dollar-57982933.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v26/alocispepraluger/aloc102a/aloc102%20d/th_stock-photo-money-ball-abstract-from-photographed-dollar-57982933.jpg" border="0" alt="" ></a>

you do believe in miracles, if you play the lottery. recently reading that the price of powerball tickets will shortly increase, i thought, why did it take them so long to raise prices. for a long time, i've thought that the various lotteries are mainly a tax on poor people. is there anything sadder than walking into a convenience store and find folks sometimes buying and buying and buying tickets. lottery managers want poor people thinking they'll be rich overnight. the odds are that they may win 40% back, until they use the winnings to buy more tickets. what's 40% of 40%? being rich without the ability to manage it is pretty much like being poor. many who win big quickly just as suddenly lose it. i think of lottery salesmenm the same way as i do bartenders offering an alcoholic another drink. just between you and i me, the lottery folks want people addicted to gambling. they are actually selling snake oil. healthy folks don't need snake oil sick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyojoGHtmGs

hey, that's one way to get a jazz audience. http://news.yahoo.com/maine-man-guilty-arson-topless-coffee-shop-235753940.html AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A man blamed for a fire that destroyed acoffee shop where topless waitresses worked has been found guilty of arson. A jury convicted Raymond Bellavance Jr. on Friday after deliberating for four hours. Prosecutors said "anger and jealousy" caused Bellavance to set fire to the coffee shop, where his ex-girlfriend worked as a waitress.Deputy District Attorney Alan Kelley told jurors Bellavance was "a volatile man" who was quick to anger because his former girlfriend was having a relationship with the shop's owner, the Bangor Daily News reported. The Grand View Coffee Shop in Vassalboro, a town of about 4,000 residents just north of the state capital, Augusta, burned down June 3, 2009. The defense insisted Bellavance didn't do it. Bellavance testified he wasn't jealous. He said other people, including a man who testified he helped set the fire, were lying. A witness who recently finished a drug rehabilitation program testified last week that he was present when Bellavance poured and ignited gasoline behind the coffee shop in the early morning hours. Thomas Mulkern said Bellavance then became upset, telling him they could get life in prison because there were people inside the adjoining apartments. Coffee shop owner Donald Crabtree and six other people, including two infants, were sleeping in a room connected to the shop. All escaped without injury. ___ Information from: Bangor Daily News, http://www.bangordailynews.com

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_corner/post/Retired-linebacker-8217-s-wife-dies-one-month-a?urn=nfl-wp14892 One month after getting married, former NFL linebacker Chris Draft lost his wife today after a long bout with lung cancer. She was so weakened by the disease that she was in a wheelchair for the private wedding, just one month before she died. Draft, who played most of his 12-year career in Atlanta, released a statement on his wife on their family foundation website. Not just an inspiration, but a light, and a force that led the way with a beautiful, sweet smile and bright shining eyes that both belied the pure steel of her strength and determination. Strong is too pale, too shallow and too small of a word to describe Keasha's vibrancy… Quite simply, she was ferocious. She fiercely held onto life, and love with a forcefulness that was absolutely awe-inspiring and completely breathtaking. Rest in peace, Mrs. Draft. Twitter was flooded with people moved by the Draft's love story. Hip hop mogul Russell Simmons shared his condolences via Twitter, and a guestbook commemorating her quickly was filled with messages of support to the Draft family.

there was a time in the late 50s, 60s, and 70s, when every american orchestral record i picked up had the same personnel ray brown, budimir, hyman, kane, glow, bodner, rosolino, julius watkins, callendar, jimmy cleveland, and probably 50 more. recording sessions in those days must have been a madhouse with unbelievable demands on the musicians. what are the best written or filmed portrayals you've discovered of the session of studio life?

thx all. my lovely grand daughter just celebrated the occasion by having her tire blow out (on route 270) while she was sending me birthday wishes. oh well. hey zalaro--that wednesday night midnight broadcast was stupendous!!!!!!!!!!!! thx.

this weekend, espn will be telecasting the hawaii bowl as part of an endless stream of mostly mediocre college football games. they will be at espn headquarters at bristol connecticut. the announcers will be in a studio and a virtual field will be in front of them with all the camera angles on a huge wall. they, of course will pretend to be in hawaii,.complete with a hula girl or two. they've done it for a while now with a local group of abc camera operators. they did the same thing for the world cup before they lost it to fox. when you see aikman in front of the set, you can't know where he's at. back in the 30s, ronnie reagan called the cubs baseball game for radio from peoria. he was never at the park. he had a board of sound effects in front of me and he read the play by play of a ticker tape and embellished it. reagan worked the sound effects like batted balls, out, strikeouts, and audience noise and simulated them all. it was unbelievable. these days, with the technology available, remote play by play of athletic events looks pretty easy. wouldn't it be cool if you could see the actual angles only the producers get. that is coming for you and me. it is going to be part of a premium package. they feel, that this, as part of a premium service, will be increduibly popular. then we really have fist fights over the remote. it would be even better if there was no voice at all and no bleeping crawlers or animation hogging the screen. just the game, please. ghost song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53oLUMTE2HE

your point about the live overtones is on the mark. the power and sound of the bass trombone makes the hair on my arms stand up!!!!! strangely, the best 2 in my immediate area are lovely ladies.

check out wayne henderson's grooves from the mid 60s crusaders recordings. uh huh and (especially) live at the light house come to mind.

music is an aural thing with me. the visual is a distraction from the music. occasionally, i may enjoy viewing intimate chamber music or an intimate jazz performance. when it really grabs me, i pace.

is it really the same crap?? the chinese incarnation of a big mac may be something other than what some of us westerners kill ourselves with. On my one visit to the US I found the beef in a MacDonalds burger tasted different to the UK version. Only natural, I suppose. British cows stand in fields looking over gates waiting for a passing composer to rhapsodise them. American cows have to run miles over plains being chased in and out of rivers. Must affect the flavour. perhaps to flagellate them? today's crop of british compoasers don't amount to much.

from my trips to vegas,, the carls jr. burgers compared favorably to in and out burgers. from my trips to vegas,, the carls jr. burgers compared favorably to in and out burgers.

kenton discussion was very heated back in the day, but was decidedly more negative, as i recall, particularly in the late 50s. i would like to think that these recent thoughts are more enlightened (through the prisms of time, serious listening and reflection) and enlightening. thanks to each of you.

pizza hut had a decent one, as well. i'm guessing they've kicked theirs to the curb. now they all want to serve beer and wine. the reason they can't now is the amount of underage help they use. i'll try chipotle for the first time after christmas.
