  1. but not with new IE (Version 7) at other work... problem is with old IE, then... sounds like that's the reason, also have 6 and i have it
  2. took me some google... AWOL=Absent Without Official Leave
  3. With eyes like that, you're bound to run into problems when the Paris police checks your card You'ld better bring dark sunglasses along: and get a second set of photos with sun glasses on? doesn't sound like the best way to stay out of trouble
  4. looks scary! here's the most scary picture of me available at the moment: http://www.adapmc07.enst.fr/Picture/highres/p1010002.jpg (not very scary i guess)
  5. LA Four - Two by Four (double cd with the albums watch what happens and live in montreux) cheap from a cheapo bookstore... on my way home i was afraid i had just spend money on something incredibly cheesy...(had no real idea what was expecting me) but now that it's up and running... two cds full of fine Bud Shank!
  6. i did find the photos interesting and revealing, of course, young as i am, i have seen this and that over the years... admittedly i also thought that Auschwitz was a little like that for those who worked there, ate blueberries, met the love of their lives, whatever... (and if Auschwitz had just been what we see on these photos, people eating blueberries and feeding their dogs, nothing would have been wrong with it) i found these pictures were a great reminder of what the world we live in is like i have the strong feeling that all this will come back in one form or other, that people will always have these cruel, ignorant and stupid sides and that they will come out again more pronouncedly and more concentrated than they do these days; i don't think an additional reminder of the holocaust will prevent that but i would certainly not call it inappropriate... i see this is not a well-written post but i hope what i waned to say comes out clear enough (and is not too stupid)
  7. on Lockjaw Davis - Trane Whistle (arranged by Nelson...) is the first version iirc
  8. not many details as i guess you all know what i mean, the amazon "you might also enjoy" algorithm is the best example that this science is still at the very beginning (just because I got my girlfriend's sister that dance-pop single by a swedish soap-star which she wanted so much for her birthday a year ago, doesnt mean i want to by that type of thing all year round, i have bought loads of jazz cds since but the algorithm is still confused
  9. then life is easy for you (but at least scholar helped you find out)!
  10. Keep her around, Jim. Please. Mocking her constant focus on relaxing is very relaxing to me. So much so, in fact, that after I read her posts, I have no need, much less urge, to buy the music she's pimping in order to relax. maybe you could merge the three threads to multiply that effect?
  11. you should! as i said, if the text is in jstor google scholar will give you the address (on the right side of the title it says "Group of 5" or something when scholar knows several sources to avoid multiple listings, clicking on there gives you the alternative addresses...) it's not the best site evere, but it's pretty good...
  12. what if i never have "a few friends over to relax" (sounds creepy); maybe your distant cousins at http://www.vervemusicgroup.com have an idea?
  13. again, why do you use jstor instead of scholar.google.com for searching? i thought it contained jstor plus a lot more...? because it gives you too much nonsense?
  14. here we had a list of these universal reissues... http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...amp;hl=jazzecho
  15. hmmm, no idea about history... for my purposes, JSTOR is far from complete, relatively often i need stuff from elsewhere, actually i usually search on scholar.google.com they already provide weblinks (including jstor) but (though they are decent, they) could be better at searching within abstracts (but it has some useful features, too, such as containing lots of working papers or providing citation histories...), so sometimes i use a specialized database (which won't help you too much) which contains more details about the articles; but, again, no idea what you are looking for; guess the stuff where it is embarrassing if you don't cite it should be in JSTOR
  16. more organ: Lou Bennett - Amen
  17. i see what you mean the word amazon.com is there (the box doesn't open over it but below - guess another programming error in the priority between list boxes or what they are called on the page...) but the search function is the right one... Is this something to do with using different browsers? I'm using Int Exp and it's not like that. MG i'd have guessed that it comes from the way the page is programmed - that there are layers or a priority between control elements or something and that the guy who programmed it was not really careful (don't know too much about these online programming languages just about visualbasic :-) ) but if you don't have it... strange, i have it and use IE, too; maybe the windows version or something
  18. i see what you mean the word amazon.com is there (the box doesn't open over it but below - guess another programming error in the priority between list boxes or what they are called on the page...) but the search function is the right one...
  19. the search you were looking for is in the (second) grey bar at the top in the upper right corner (not two lines below where the amazon thing is...)
  20. i would... but wait, i do still have an unanswered mail from you
  21. http://www.djangomusic.com/ works again... good luck with your orders!
  22. Joe and Pharoah Sanders play flutes on Alice Coltrane's Ptah the El Doud. iirc i read somewhere that he also plays flute somewhere on Andrew Hill's Point of Departure
  23. philosophy class, too... (guess none of us would wish to enter a philosoph class again these days unless for money but that was six years ago)
  24. was at zweitausendeins briefly today and noticed no cc cds among the (relatively small fraction) they had in stock... notably wayne shorter's all seeing eye and adam's apple (which iirc were cc cds initially) seemed to be "normal" cds... this of course doesn't mean that they are not selling both versions...
  25. another half cent, just want to make clear, when i post links to old threads (which i do fairly often) i really really do not want to say "couldn't you see your new thread wasn't necessary"... i really don't need things around me neatly organized and i don't have a problem with repitions (ok, i haven't been around here very long); i just think the initial poster might be interested in those threads and besides, when i am searching for something i find links to related threads (which don't need to be repititive, might be threads about a single album...) rather helpful; and as i have less to contribute than many many others i try to be helpful this way
