Actually he kinda sucked during his prime. We had him in Philly for a year and he was not the player that he would develop into during his 30's. He really didn't blossom until he went to the Spurs. That's a good point actually - I think of his early Spur years as his prime, but he was around for a while before then, also playing for the Heat and the Celtics. To me his prime was the first half of his time with San Antonio, I guess.

Bruce Bowen retired today from the NBA. Despite his reputation (some earned, some not so much, IMO) as a dirty player, he was a lockdown defender. 8-time all NBA defensive team. He was also a very good 3 point shooter. I liked the guy, and I'd venture to guess that every other team in the league would have been glad to have him back in his prime.

From Merriam Webster: And from Jewish World Review: I don't see why that would be confusing. Scouting uses the term during camps and so forth as well. And while I'm in the south, our Cracker Barrel seems to cater to as many Hispanics as it does to Whites.

Allen - please don't start up with the Hitler stuff yet again.

Organissi-bone! Good stuff!

Think you're good at those mahjongg tile games? Try this one. It's 3d and you can rotate it for different angles. Three levels, and a time limit. I actually got through all three levels, once. I won't talk about the other 250 attempts.

I hope it works out that way - otherwise that's an awful high draft pick to spend on somebody who may or may not ever play for the team, and may or may not develop how they want him to.

The first time some player gets injured as a result of having to do a do-over, or the outcome of a game potentially changes, that ruling is going to modified very quickly. I think it was a stupid ruling. Why not make them raise the video screen and be done with it? I agree it's a distracting thing as a viewer too.

What kind of car is that? Any idea?

Love your last set of pics, Bev! Especially the one of the ruins in the mist. One of the others looks like a mini-Mont St. Michel. Very cool bobcat, Noj! A couple of pictures my 11 year old took when we were in Manhattan last week:

Isn't Bob Jewish? Or did he officially convert to Christianity? Interesting when people who wouldn't normally celebrate Christmas release Christmas albums, like Kenny G. Not that I care either way, Christmas albums seem to reek more of money grabs than artistic statements.

Happy Birthday!

51 straight days of 96F or higher here. Plus we're in a major drought. We don't get much rain annually here anyway, but by this time of the year we've had about 19-20" on the average. This year we've had 4" of rain. Total.

2 weeks until the 2009 season starts. Everybody returning from last season? I think everything looks ready to go for this year. Any new members interested in playing? If so please consider signing up! It was alot of fun.

This is his 2nd dance on Blue Note: Them pigs done flew away already.

Goes to show that the situation within the (international) jazz community is not much better than elsewhere And that not all jazz must inherently spring from the U.S. blues. I for one am glad that jazz comes in so many flavors.

I mentioned these a couple of months ago in the previous Radiohead thread. I'm going to be picking these up, and very much like the previous three. They sound fine, and collect essentially all of the extra material available. No brainer.

FB?! FB is only for you damn unwetted lotus leafs! Be touched by action or get off the pot! ...

(late) HB!

HB late!

It's Jazz Kat with a K. ....Do you ever come across something when you're searching the archives that just sorta cracks you up? This one did for me tonight. ...spell Kat right, dammit! And I'm enjoying "Hootin' 'n Tootin'" quite a bit, on my first listen! Wish he'd left a bit more behind.

This is a point I was alluding to when Chris popped in to advertise his blog here a couple of weeks ago. edit - That said, Chris' blog has some fascinating recollections and pictures.

That DOES kinda make the whole credit-card-billing thing go down a bit better. Finally got the Stitt box in today's mail. I guess for less than $10 it is still worth the hassle I went through (i.e. harrassment from RonS, not Oldie's issues).
