Blue Train

Yes, common in business circles. There are several more eggregious nouns-to-verbs, but I'm blanking on them now. I have heard "I can expense this" used as a comment, or question. There is a whole list of them and a long history of it happening. Even verbs-to-nouns. http://moreintelligentlife.com/content/ideas/anthony-gardner/youve-been-verbed

Rolling Stones' article on Aaron Hernandez is now online. http://www.rollingstone.com/feature/the-gangster-in-the-huddle

Best vibes time.

Curse of the Kardashians.

You actually think I would know that? I just saw Los Angeles and it was being shown on a screen on the same day.

Another more current list. It has Mike Adams on the TJ watch list. http://mlbreports.com/tj-surgery/

According to this site there were 2 compositions recorded in 1971 (Blue Sphere & Something in Blue on Nov. 15th) and one in 1972 (a private recording @ de Koenigswarter's house of A Merrier Christmas with Monk singing.) It doesn't mention in what order they were composed. http://www.monkzone.com/compositionshtml.htm

Checking to see where it was showing to tell friends, and beside Rave....there is an outdoor viewing @ LA Historic Park on August 31st. Food trucks and live music before the screening. http://eatseehear.com/

A third of the current pitchers have had it. The majority of the time it happens after the All-Star break. Interestingly, many/most pitched in the the one worthless game in the season....that now decides which league has more home games in the World Series. to say that 1/3 of all MLB pitchers have had that procedure done is a bit of an exaggeration. From July 2013 One-third of current MLB pitchers have had Tommy John surgery. Of the about 360 who started the season, 124 share the all-too-familiar triangular scar. How surprising is this number? It stunned me! In recent talks with baseball officials, none guessed more than the one-in-nine number I had often seen quoted over the last decade (and quoted myself). Worse, none of us had any idea when this change had happened or noticed the acceleration. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1699659-the-alarming-increase-in-mlb-pitchers-whove-had-tommy-john-surgery

You can't make this up. http://espn.go.com/boston/nfl/story/_/id/9603006/nflpa-files-grievance-new-england-patriots-aaron-hernandez-workout-bonuses-source-says

You sure you watched the same show as everyone else? The first two seasons were especially about this.

Just want to say without armor....even with all the "Flaxseed" he could't do what he "miraculously" did.

In this day an age when the HR is the be-all to end-all because of the Barroid Era....you have to be a mostly non-HR hitter. Rafael Palmeiro is the single one of the Barroids that can be found on the 3000+ list. Barroid with all the he intaked and elbow armor only made it to 2935 hits in 22-years. Only a total homer doesn't get what is wrong with the numbers.

If he only cut everything involving Bruce Willis' girlfriend in it....it would be my favorite of his. Of course, last film of his I liked by the ultimate of "borrowing" directors is Jackie Brown. Now it's more fun trying to figure which films, or directors he's outright stealing (I mean paying homage too) from.

The funny thing is Thicke has been "borrowing" Timberlake's act (which is Michael Jackson's (who borrowed from James Brown and Jackie Wilson and admitted it) and he at least admitted it...not putting Timberlake in Jackson's category....I don't even like Timberlake outside of his SNL stints, just making a point.) and Timberlake "borrowed" from Thicke's uncensored video of Blurred Lines for Tunnel Vision and that put Thicke finally on the map so to speak. Not posting the videos since they're so easy to to find.

Back to another thing. It's interesting how Bruckner and Mahler are so linked but so different. ? Third time is the charm?

You can pre-order Mary Halvorson's next release. http://firehouse12records.com/album/illusionary-sea Thank you for the heads up.

Thanks to both of you for understanding what I meant. Never said he wasn't in the legal right. Just his entire career is based on straight out "borrowing" while acting like he's not. It's like Vanilla Ice and Under Pressure. I didn't think I had to point out on a Jazz board how much borrowing went on in Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, ect, or the Arts in general.

Most profitable team in MLB history....this year's Astros. They're going to make more in profit than the last 6 Champions combined did those years. That's on top of the $70 million Crane was paid to move to the AL. WTF? incentive does Crane have to pay to win? There is a luxury tax ....there should be some sort of minimum on team payroll. This year including bonuses the Astros' payroll is about $7+ million less than the Yankees are paying Mr. April. In fact as a team....they don't even crack the top 10 yearly salaries for players.

I realize most if not all of you don't know Robin Thicke. Thicke has made a career out of straight out robbing...I mean "borrowing" Gaye....but now straight out of Chutzpah....he's suing Gaye's estate. Latest "borrowing" is,,,,this really isn't the later. Later is the rated version of the video which Justin Timberlake "borrowed" the half-nude/nude females concept of Thicke's unrated version for Timberlake's Tunnel Vision video. George Clinton claims that there was no "borrowing" from Sexy Ways. As in, he settled. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRcVQDELAd4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyDUC1LUXSU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxKOQ3SfGhg Before that.....this didn't become the later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLnvbHkeeTM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwFtfnUGJfg Oh yeah, from no the "borrowing" involved from Gaye continues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usl-h5f-8W0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FdQLUUx5I8

It's pretty much a T&A show (there is a reason it's mostly set in Miami, or places bikinis fit in, and every female except the unbelievable mother always ends up in a bikini or tight outfits) with spy stuff. For a few seasons the plot and Campbell/Donovan and Sharon Gless in short doses made up for it. They took out the whole point of Campbell, made the mother a main character (did I mention unbelievable?)...then there was Jesse Porter character. Didn't even start on the anorexic lead that started out with an Irish accent...that disappeared to everything about her character became even more of a joke than the Jesse Porter one. There was even a jumping on the Battlestar Galectica bandwagon by bringing in Tricia Helfer in the 2nd season. Did I mention T&A and tight outfits? The only reason they're killing the show is because they had to pay for the Convention center that was the studio to be blown-up just to get a 7th season shot in Miami.

"We turned at a dozen paces, for love is a duel, and looked at each other for the last time." He used Bea in the Original Scroll.

Burn Notice started out fine (I only started watching because of Bruce Campbell), but jumped the shark after the first few seasons....and (just like Breaking Bad) they always leave out just enough on the the details others might want to use....this last season has been terrible. Though nowhere as bad as last year with John C. McGinley & Sonja Sohn.
