According to one of the articles I read, Sam Donaldson owns three ranches in New Mexico, as if just one wasn't good enough.... Why to people have more than one Mosaic set??? Donaldson's ranch is in the south-central part of the state, between Roswell and Ruidoso. He is a native of El Paso, Texas, and his father bought farmland in New Mexico in 1910. Donaldson has added to the property over the years.

You should have asked for the night off!

Man, I watched this all the time as a kid! I only saw a few shows, but what was funny is I twice saw Sammy Davis Jr, was he a regular????

Man, hear abou the parasite story with the Yankees??? What did they eat over there??? In other Yankees pitching news, Kevin Brown was diagnosed with intestinal parasites, joining Jason Giambi as the second member of the Yankees to test positive for the ailment this week. Brown has been out with a bad back since leaving a start June 9, but he's also been ailing "about 3½ weeks or so since we got back from Japan," losing 15 pounds and struggling even to get out of bed each day. Brown had numerous tests that offered no explanations for what was sapping him of his strength. So when Brown learned Giambi had parasites on Tuesday, he knew he should get checked, even though he didn't have the stomach virus symptoms that the first baseman had. "At least I understand why I struggled so bad," Brown said. Yankees team doctor Stuart Hershon spoke with the players before their game against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night, explaining that this is not an epidemic and that the entire team does not need to be tested. "I wanted to talk to the team to put to rest any unnecessary anxiety," he said. "I just wanted get any obvious concerns out of the way." Brown suggested he might have gotten the parasites during the Yankees' season-opening series in Japan against Tampa Bay in March. "Everything is so much speculation _ that would seem to be a distinct possibility," Brown said. "I think overseas travel is a red flag for doctors." Hershon and the Devil Rays said Tampa Bay had no cases. "We haven't had any illnesses that we would suspect would be related to a parasite," Devil Rays spokesman Rick Vaughn said. Brown began taking antibiotics, which should take seven to 10 days to work, and will not participate in any workouts until he is feeling stronger. Giambi has been taking the medicine for four days and told Torre he is slowly feeing better. Giambi took batting practice in the indoor cages at Yankee Stadium the past two days.

my first correct prediction in awhile ss1 seems amazing he could go from beating the Yankees in 2001, to fired...injures will do that to you....

Hey! I thought this was a thread about that tomatobluenote guy!

My Mom got to meet him, ever so briefly back in the late 50's (Around the time of Sayonara, I think) She had a family friend who worked for Alan Ladd, and told her to come to the studio one day and pretend that she was some senator's daughter. She said he was very polite, shook her hand and all, talked to her for 5 minutes or so...quite a kick for a 17 year old! Funny, Brando seems like the kind of person that would have quit acting 20-30 years ago, but worked on and off till just a few years ago.... RIP.

Hey, JSngry, do you still have the link to that friendly golf site? Perhaps you could post a few photos from there!

I have been meaning to check out the RUSH thread (The Group, not the radio guy!) but every time I am about to click on it, I see it's like 8-9 pages long! I want to put in a good word, but don't want to wade thru that! Anyone else lazy?

Well, when I bought the first and second seasons of Just Shoot Me the other night, they had a flyer with what was coming out soon...1st seasons of The Partridge Family, Different Strokes ( ) 2nd season of Starsky and Hutch, 3rd season of Good Times and All in the Family, and 227. Oh, and while all but forced to look at the reserve list at Media Play, I also saw that the first season of the Munsters is coming out soon!

Experts re-create stinky dinosaur breath Small company specializes in offbeat historical scents To create the scent of a dinosaur, Dale Air specialists talked with paleontologists about the likely diet and health of Tyrannosaurus rex. By Alexandra Hudson Updated: 6:35 p.m. ET June 29, 2004KIRKHAM, England - Ordinary smells, Dale Air can do — but the breath of a Tyrannosaurus rex? advertisement “Where do you start?” asked Frank Knight, director of the small British firm that specializes in “themed aromas.” Most of the smells it creates, like “Granny’s Kitchen” or “Burnt Wood,” are designed to enhance museum visits or call up long-lost memories. Re-creating the breath of a T. rex for a huge model dinosaur in London’s Natural History Museum posed challenges all of their own. “We spoke to paleontologists, who gave us a description of the dinosaur. Basically, the bigger the creature, the smellier they were,” said Knight, who is passionate about accuracy. “The dinosaurs would have had open sores from fighting, and rotting meat stuck in the gaps between their teeth. We needed all these features in the eventual odor.” The T. rex breath turned out to be so revolting that the curators instead opted for a milder swamp smell to evoke the creature’s natural habitat. Nasty smells are popular Requests for nasty smells come in quite a lot, requiring some unpleasant research. “I’ve had otter poo on my desk,” said Knight, who created the odor for a zoo’s nature trail, alongside the smell of jaguar urine and rotting flesh. Some jobs are easier on the nose. Dale Air has supplied branches of British travel agent chain Lunn Poly with the scent of coconut oil, aimed at increasing the time customers spend in their stores. The smell of money Dale Air started life as an air-freshener firm. Then founder Fred Dale, who died earlier this year, discovered a lucrative sideline. He was invited to mix familiar odors from the 1920s for use in retirement homes. These triggered memories and encouraged conversation among elderly residents. Dale never looked back. Soon museums were commissioning smells such as Dead Roman Soldier’s Armpit and Viking Loo. “My mum used to say that she never knew who she would be going to bed with — a horse, or a bear ... as the smells used to linger on my dad’s skin,” said Fred’s son Robert. Fred Dale’s favorite project was the Jorvik Centre museum in York, which opened in 1984, boasting Viking smells as its key attraction. Authentic historical smells have since become a much copied feature. Sarah Maltby, head of visitor attractions at Jorvik, said: “Competition is such nowadays you have to think how you can capture the imagination of your visitors, and thinking of how to capture all the senses is one of the things you have to do.” Costly frankincense Dale Air’s most expensive smell to date is frankincense, mixed for a Queen of Sheba exhibition at the British museum. A kilo of the scent lasting for a year cost $275.70 (150 pounds). The firm’s team of perfumers identified the chemical components of the smell and mixed up a replica potion. Most aromas are supplied as liquids and pumped out through various dispensers. A new model still being tested can fill a 250-seat theater. Knight thinks cinemas may also one day waft appropriate scents through the auditorium, but said they should be cautious. “You’ve got to give people choice. We don’t like forcing aromas on people — and you don’t want people going to the cinema and not knowing what they’ll encounter.” However, people can use their sense of smell to their advantage, and there are some interesting applications. The firm is testing an aroma dispenser that plugs into a computer and is controlled from the keyboard. “Say you’ve got help desk staff who are getting tense and frustrated — they can press a button to get an aroma to help calm them down,” Knight said. Most of the firm’s smells, such as the “aromas of football” set, are for pure entertainment. Smells as entertainment “Footie Pitch” smells of grass, “Trophy Room” smells of wood polish, “Half Time” smells of pies, and “Changing Room” smells of liniment, giving the overzealous football fan or club shop an authentic whiff of the beautiful game. Knight points out that football pitches are rarely mown the day of a match, so the smell of freshly cut grass won’t do. “That’s how realistic we are — we find out when they cut the grass.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5327029/
