  1. thx for the thoughtful comments dave and guy, in particular.watching the nfl last night was like seeing the girl you took home without make up. it's not at all pretty. all of a sudden, the masks came off the coaches.
  2. yesterday afternoon, i after drinking 3 bottles of stealth 10%abv bell's expedition stout russian imperial stout, i went to the nature center from a nearby farm market. the trails were treacherous, translated muddy, hilly, and slippery as hell. i negotiated the trail well with a couple slight slips. when i was near done, and down near the soggy pond trails, i found myself flat on my muddy back and my trusty cam went flying into the mud. slight misstep i thought. no biggy. the camera read, lens cap error, remove your lens cap when it was remove. drats i thought, this will be a good excuse for a new zoomer. after another bell's, i investigated the camera, carefully removed several ounces of caked mud from the lens, viewfinder and zoom mechanism(i fell with the zoom full out), resetting all the functions. when i apprehensively lit it up, there was no error message and the zoom went fully out to 72. it miraculously worked and and took shots. christmas came early for aloc. i may return today.
  3. last night's national nfl telecast was a chance for the nfl to show off it's true colors. unfortunately those colors are sickening. roethlisberger, the pittsburgh qb, dragged his leg around for an entire half and more was a sitting target for players hoping to main him. mccoy, the cleveland qb, received a vicious shot to his head, brain, and neck and was surely knocked out. after missing one play, a dazed mccoy reentered the game until it's end. tv lights weren't allowed at mccoy's post game news conference. hmmmmmm. what does that sound like to you? i love football, but not enough to continue watching it after i saw 2 players treated like cattle last night.
  4. thx, john. southern ontario is very much like ohio. i love being in the extraordinary city of toronto.

Musicians on the West and East Coast have been coming together to perform benefit concerts to help Dayna meet his medical needs. If you would like to contribute please donate here - through the Jazz Foundation of America. 100% will go directly to Dayna!
  7. and mine as well--harry morgan, spring byington, dean jones, verna felton.
  8. harry's roles were too numerous to mention, or even recall. the timing between morgan and webb on the first dragnet was magnificent. he must have been a really quick study. he was also on a 50s show december bride. do i remember him from the film stalag 17?
  9. saban stepped over convulsing player
  10. sport magazine!!!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhh what a team the cubbies were then. lou boudreau was one of the announcers with vince lloyd. i loved to hear pat hughes and ronnie do the games on radio. pat is one of the best, and classiest ever. he called every inning of every game with ronnie, with just one inning off. that's a lot of play by play.
  11. it seems that every team in the league is changing coaches and general managers.
  12. ronnie drank a little in those days, which is never good for a diabetic, which may have helped his legs fell off. the committee listed a bunch of extraneous irrelevant junk, like his passion for the game and broadcasting. ronnie should have been in the hall of fame when he was alive on his playing merits. inducting ron santo in this sorry way leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. I guess those who wanted to could make that argument about his offense, but what about his defense? Santo made some pretty nifty plays, so was Wrigley a "thrid base friendly" park? ron was an awesome defensive 3rd bagger, one of the best ever.
  13. now that's a puzzlement. freight cars from many regions are seen by folks who look at trains. how real graffiti spans oceans.......i'm sure there have been, or may still be, graffiti coltranes and ellingtons. it is certainly a deeply felt, highly developed talent. it may well be from frustrated would be commercial artists.
  14. rail graffiti is one of the few things in our life unregulated without corporate fingerprints and tentacles. i love it.
  15. I'm pretty sure this is the guy I saw playing solo at The London Jazz Festival last year as the warm-up act for Bobby Bradford. It's true that the sound he made from this enormous saxophone was impressive but listening to him playing it solo, soon became pretty boring. A bit of a "one-trick pony" unfortunately. now, if he could overblow it, we might have something!!!!!!!
  16. the vibrations this video set up in my house, even with crappy youtube sound, are incredible. hell, threadgill will probably compose a piece for a sub quartet, if he hasn't already, and it will sound great.
  17. could this thing be hooked up to an air compressor, or evan parker, or the brot guy?
  18. I'm confused - does that have anything to do with Sandusky? my apologies sir, it has to do with 2 recent posts on the franklin scandal, which was brought up recently in this discussion by pete c. Saturday night I shared a cab from the airport with the author of a book about the Franklin scandal, which I hadn't heard of before. Sounds intriguing. I just started reading the Kindle edition. http://franklinscandal.com/
  19. washington times headline from 1989, which was quickly killed. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v46/Cartman/b2/?action=view&current=WTpage1.gif
  20. not to digress, but what should we call a chronic digressor? a lowe life?
  21. i've been fortunate enough to own this recording since it was new. thanks for informing us of a second recording.
  22. Now the Stamps have filed a complaint with the league about this, saying that the Argos did not seek permission to hire Jones while he is under contract through 2012. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=381659 The league today fined the Argos a paltry $5,000 for tampering with Jones. http://www.theglobea...article2258586/ http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=381808 remind me when the next season is revving up. i want to get into it.
