I disagree. If the Wizards sustain their current winning pace, he has an outside shot. Guy

Since a bunch of us have been receiving these opened boxes, I wonder if someone working at yourmusic's local post office is collecting shipment cds. Must have a nice collection by now. Guy

Mike Miller killed 'em with his beyond-the-arc bombardment. Guy

"Bemsha Swing" and "Blue Monk" on Conversations with Myself. Guy

Jim, Are you sure we are talking about the same player? I don't think Murph knows how to spell defense, much less play it. Guy

But none about the spelling of "controversy". Guy

I'm watching the Warriors barely holding off the Hornets (so far). Without Monta and JRich this is not a good team. edit: Grizz will pick up win #8 tomorrow. Guy

No, it isn't inflation. What is that called? A buying frenzy? I'm sure there's a term for it. I hate to contradict Guy, but in certain contexts, especially legal contexts, any excess in a stock's price above it's "true value" (the definition of which is invariably a point of contention) is called "inflation". In particular, if the hiring of new workers does not add value to the company but does cause its price to increase, then the hiring would be said to lead to "inflation" in the stock price. Interesting. This isn't inflation in the economic sense, but I learn something new every day! Guy

Coltrane plays flute on both Expression and Live at the Village Vanguard Again; he plays alto on Live in Japan and Stellar Regions. So it could be him in both cases. Guy

I don't know all that much about economics, but it sounds like what you are calling for here is inflation. Artificial increase in stock prices due to demand? No, it isn't inflation. Guy

Wheel, Thanks -- this looks like what I am looking for. Guy

I am trying to defragment my hard drive. However, I am running into trouble because of the following: Is there any way to get around this without clearing space on my hard drive? My cd burner is very unreliable right now and I can't easily clear that 15%. Guy

I have an EP titled Staircase Infinities -- not sure how that fits in to Aggie's chronology. Guy

My sentiment too, I really like Michael Blake on this CD and writing is very strong. This is a very good album. Guy

My head hurts. Guy

Happy new years. I am going to a dinner & party at a friend's house in the city. Will try to behave responsibly. Guy

How about the top 5 top 5 lists you would like to be stranded with on a desert island? Guy

I think it was the Who's 30 Years of Maximum R&B. Guy

Warriors are getting clobbered by the Kings. (!!!) JRich's hand is fractured. Guy

I assume so. Why not? Because in some cases, like the infamous 'Terminator seeds', cloned plants do not produce seed, so you have to buy it for every harvest, that means that if you, for any reasons, don't have money to buy them, you'll not have any harvest. This is not the case with 'natural' agriculture. Don't seedless plants predate modern genetic engineering? Anyway, I assume that it will be harder to make "seedless" animals. Because nobody can foresee wich type of desease can occur to a cloned animal. AFIK cloned animals have a lack of immune defenses. I don't buy this. If the animals they are cloned from have immune defenses, then the cloned animals will as well. I'm not sure why this is relevant. Guy Is it relevant because, when most of the farming will be cloned, because it will be proved to be profitable in the short term, you'll have to pay some sort of hidden copyright to few big Corporation who have enough money to afford biotech. Most farming today is done on an industrial scale -- this will not change. If cloned animals are more expensive than uncloned animals, then farmers will stick with the uncloned. I neither agreed nor disagreed. Or maybe a little of each. Guy

Maybe 40% bad. Guy

I haven't seen the movie -- Sting is in it, right? Guy

I recently gave this one a listen for the first time in a long time. Much, much better than the overrated Tommy. (And with a less ridiculous story.) The instrumentals are actually pretty good. Guy

Both of them said they were. Sadat addressed the Black Caucus and affirmed this and even promised financial contributions to the caucus shortly before he was killed. Regardless of what they said, if they were black there are a whole lot of black people around the Mediterranean and Middle East. Guy I hate to do your research for you but some of this stuff is real easy to look up. This is from Wikipedia: Early life Sadat was born in Mit Abu Al-Kum, Al-Minufiyah, Egypt, to a poor Egyptian-Sudanese family, one of 13 brothers and sisters. His father was Egyptian, his mother was Sudanese. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadat Now go look up the Sudan. His mother was a very dark-skinned African. I don't need to make sh!t up. Sudan is split into two halves -- a northern Arab half and a southern "black African" half. Which half was Sadat's mother from? However, I will concede that it is possible that Sadat had a black African heritage. FWIW, what about Nasser? Guy

I assume so. Why not? Again, why not? Yes. I'm not sure why this is relevant. Guy
