Here comes an unusual one:

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

No dead horse here. Nobody witnessed any abuse, nor were there any visible signs of abuse on the girl. Can you re-read the article and show me where the "known instance" of child abuse is discussed and described? If it's a known instance, then there has to be some details there. Yet there are none. Since there was none, the only other choice (in your California law example) is reasonable suspicion. I remain unconvinced that the word of a random psychic who didn't even name a particular child is "reasonable suspicion".

There was no "known" incident though. So the only thing to report would be reasonable suspicion. The "psychic" (who IS equivalent to a spaghetti monster in this case) picked a random letter and told someone that a kid with that initial was being abused. That ISN'T reasonable suspicion, to most (reasonable) people, I don't think.

"The Big Purple Spaghetti Monster said my neighbor is abusing his kid. Or my cat told me that, I forget which." Is that something a teacher has to report? Because it's really no different than a psychic saying it (and that psychic didn't even single out a kid, but just picked a random letter). That's "reasonable suspicion"???

Agreed!!

"REASONABLY SUSPECTED". I think a psychic's word isn't reasonable suspicion in this case.

I think this is kind of a cool crop circle. It's a graphic representation of pi, 3.141592654... (with the decimal point and the ... even!) I've always considered these to be man-made, but this one seems very well done.

My guess would be board member David Weiss and the New Jazz Composer's Octet. David mentioned (here) that there is a new NJCO cd coming out in June with Hubbard.

Have a good one!

He looks like he'd pay $1M to be anywhere else!

I think they would have matched up better with the Celtics too, actually.

...maybe somebody can call Lou and ask him to record it? Anybody have his phone number?

It looks like that site pulls in a wiki entry along with it. I arbitrarily replaced "Chris_albertson" with "Blue_Oyster_Cult", and it came up like this: Kulkul w/BOC edit - also if you go to another sub-page on Kukul's website, and then back to the "birthday" page, you are no longer there. So I don't think your information is actually on that site itself.

Was this ever reissued, or is it still pretty much impossible to find?

The subway gives you almost door to door service. Take the N/R trane... It might give YOU door to door service, but not me (or kh1958 I suspect!)

Great. Now Ron's gonna gloat for the next 3 yrs.

Definitely not a typical game - I expected a much closer one. Congrats to the Celts fans on the board, and sorry to Noj & crew as well.

SHPANK!

You might check some of Miles' other period recordings - like In a Silent Way, and Jack Johnson. Your comment about wanting something "similar to Miles Davis" is a bit deceptive though, because his style changed so many times over the years, from the 40's through the 80's. Also, "traditional jazz" isn't really all about trombone and vocals.

I think I'd heed Bev's suggestion - that being on a small(ish) island for more than a couple of days may be limiting. Two weeks may seem like a REALLY long time there. Combining the trip with a visit to Dublin (or maybe Liverpool in the other direction!) might make for a more rewarding time overall.
