I tend to agree with you, though I think the ethical concerns may be more about the necessity of the operation, as I've read. Some of the concerns are that this wasn't being done as a live-saving procedure for this lady, but rather for cosmetic purposes (I'll also grant that everything I've read makes it sound as if she was VERY disfigured by her attack, and I can't imagine how terrible that must have been). I think the arguments stem from where you draw the line regarding cosmetic facial transplants. Perhaps what's acceptable will evolve over time too. My concern, even though the actual operation itself was a success, is whether her body will accept/reject the new face over the long term. What happens if it falls off in 5 yrs, if these things prove not to be permanent?

Saw a link to this on the SH Forum. Someone put together a "mash-up" with Queen's Greatest Hits and 50 Cent. Check it out!

About time! I think I ordered that one twice from them, unsuccessfully.

Doesn't using outside material contradict the nature of an autobiography?

Personally, i don't think she shoulda been banned. Might have been interesting to hear her "defend" her original post. Suprised she actually came back though...usually spammers are hit and run.

I bet he's listening to King Sunny Ade...

Happy Birthday John! Best wishes for many more to follow...

Personally, I find this to be the Most Useful Post in this thread!

Does anybody else's "clock" on the board seem off, by about 6 hours? I checked my settings, and it is correct.

Anybody watch the Texas/Texas A&M game yesterday? I did, and expected to be disappointed in my team again. Well, they lost (40-29) again, so ended their season at 5-6. BUT they played #2 Texas well! In fact, we were only down by a TD until about 2 minute to go in the game. Surprised the heck outta me. We had a redshirt freshman QB making his first ever start, and he played a gutty game. So maybe there's a glimmer of hope for next year. I think that game yesterday may have cost Vince Young any chance at the Heisman. He didn't do much at all against the nations worst pass defense. Reggie Bush seems to be the clear frontrunner.

I just picked it up recently from yourmusic as well. I think it's a very nice recording, and I think Alessi, Berne and Taborn all make nice contributions. Well worth the money! I also have Gress' "Spin & Drift", from '01, which also includes Berne and Tom Rainey on drums, and Alessi's "This Against That" with Gress. These guys all seem to play together quite a bit on each other's recordings, and click well together.

As best I can tell, if nobody is in the Chat area, that listing at the bottom goes away.

The "New Messages" used to be just to the right of the "My Controls" I believe... Thanks, Jim!

Arbitrator upholds T.O. suspension PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Terrell Owens' season is effectively over after an arbitrator ruled Wednesday that the Philadelphia Eagles were justified in suspending him for four games. Arbitrator Richard Bloch wrote that the Eagles clearly proved that the suspension was justified, and were within their right to pay their All-Pro receiver but not allow him to return "due to the nature of his conduct and its destructive and continuing threat to the team." The Eagles did not immediately comment after the decision was announced. "We are pleased that the arbitrator has upheld the right of a club to suspend a player for conduct detrimental to the club," said Harold Henderson, the NFL's head of labor relations. "The ruling makes clear that Terrell Owens and his agent engaged in conduct that was disruptive to the Eagles and that coach Reid's decision to suspend the player was appropriate." Bloch heard more than 13 hours of testimony last week. Owens' side argued the penalty is excessive and the Eagles' decision to deactivate him is too severe. Owens wanted to be reinstated to the Eagles or released so he can sign with another team. Owens was suspended Nov. 5 after he again criticized quarterback Donovan McNabb, called the organization "classless" and fought with former teammate Hugh Douglas, who serves as team "ambassador." Two days later, the Eagles extended the suspension to four games and told Owens not to return. The reigning conference champions are 0-3 without Owens and 4-6 overall, last in the NFC East. Owens has five years remaining on a seven-year, $48.97 million contract that he signed when he came to Philadelphia in March 2004. His problems started when he demanded a new contract after an outstanding season in which he caught 77 passes for 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns, helping the Eagles reach the Super Bowl. With Owens, the Eagles are 17-5 over two seasons. Without him, they're 2-5, including two meaningless losses and two playoff wins.

The live chat is COOL!!!

There's a Fripp solo outing from the World Financial Centre, 11/30/00...

I agree, it could present problems for some of us:

...they're actually slightly different, being nit-picky. The New Posts shows you the threads that have been added to since you were last on the board. Whereas the Today's Active Topics shows you all of the threads that have had activity in the past 24 hrs (or since midnight maybe?). There are times when I want to re-visit a thread that was active earlier in the day, but doesn't show up in the "View New Posts" search (and I don't automatically recall which Forum it was in, or I'd just go to it). If it weren't for that, then I'd probably be happy with just the "View New Posts" option.

Can you get the Today's Active Topics linkto show up on the bottom again?

Those of us on a tighter budget care! I do have the original CD. ← I have the original cd too, as well as the original of "Another Workout". It would be nice to have them reissued though! Good music! Which Mobley albums are you referring to that haven't 'been done', Jazz Kat?

The Brewing is Luminous, not Taylor himself...
