Keep it up. Ignore the blackouts. Keep going .... You said you were blocking my posts with the ignore function. You have to be honest with yourself first Dan. yeah well, no more free rides for an a-hole like you. How's that anger management class coming along? How's that health problem?

You don't really expect the loser spam artist to respond, do you Jim?

The Kenny Cox reissue very much fits but I am not at all certain that Manhattan Fever belongs in the "advanced hard bop" the originator of the thread is seeking. IMHO, pretty generic, if well-played hard bop, it could have been recorded five or ten years earlier.

I have to say I was surprised to see a bit on Headline News about this event. Its so rare to see TV news take note of a jazz artist who's died but obviously OP crossed over into the popular culture like Miles and Dizzy and a few others.

Forget about the Cowboy's failures and who is to blame or who called it ahead of time - let's go back to T.O., wearing dark shades and bawling like a pussy at the press conference! Jeez, just when you think you know you know the dude, he shows you something new. Next time someone asks him about Romo, I think he's going to say "he had my at 'hello'" or perhaps "I can't quit him".

Big Al calls it! The Cowboys looked good for awhile this season, but something sure changed. GB/NE looks like the likely scenario. I'd love to see a Brady/Favre matchup. I'm sure that's what the league wants too. Keep an eye out for questionable calls next week in the Frozen Tundra (what's the long range weather forecast? Any hope for a repeat of Saturday's game?)

an oldie but a goodie.

Shouldn't complain, Paul, I'm much happier to face San Diego than Peyton next week.

Gotta say that old Weiz is a wise man here. Screw the rich and beautiful in the stands. Give me a championship game played in football weather.

Allow me to take the opposite side. My thoughts on today's popular music: ... to infinity.

Definitely a different letter. It is strange that there is no mention of payoff for the scamee or the scammer - but maybe what they are trying to do is to secure personal info prior to the "transfer" of funds for dispersal to there charities.

I think Jim is referring to the pre-Liberty era BN. Surely you aren't comparing quality control between Lion/Wolff and "Dr" Butler?

Assuming it goes through, this Troy Glaus for Scott Rolen is a somewhat surprising deal, with a lot of risk on both sides. If Rolen recovers his power stroke, the Blue Jays got a major upgrade at 3B. If not, they've committed a lot of money for three more years of a guy who looked like a potential hall of famer until he started getting hurt. The Cards dump the salary (and the nastiness between him and LaRussa) for a passable 3B who probably stays healthier on grass. Most importantly, I think that Glaus is only signed through 2009, and for fewer dollars than Rolen. So even if he falls off a cliff or keeps getting hurt, he'll be easier to deal with going forward. Funny, I always liked Rolen (and had to prefer him over LaRussa's monstrous ego) but now I am going to have to hope that he will continue his decline. Otherwise, if he gets healthy, the Blue Jay lineup just got closer to the level of the Sox/Yanks.

I was coming here to post this just now ... sad news, but I'm glad she had her never-too-late career blossoming. Some of those Savant recordings are quite good. RIP.

That would be half rotten. You mean Jacqueline is still alive? That's good news for Sam Malone.

But isn't that only Barry Bonds? Interesting story today about absesses on Clemens' buttocks, and the statement by a doctor (this was in the NYT) that while any injection can cause an absess, they are more common with steroid injections. The Toronto people they interviewed couldn't recall Clemens getting treatment, but who knows what might appear in the medical records? The real interesting thing is that I think it suggests the Feds are looking for external corrabaration of McNamee's story, and that can only mean that they are waiting for the opportunity to take Clemens down on a perjury charge.

What do you get the Blue Note Kid when he has everything? :party:

Nice to see Cedar in support rather than out front (not that I don't enjoy his trio albums, but I especially enjoy him with horns) and what I've heard of Curtis Fuller in recent years tells me this ought to be a real good 'un.

Oh c'mon Paul, all I am saying is that a number of these 'babes' don't deserve a second look. If I offended you for calling them "nerds" well excuse me, its a term generally used for brainy people. And yes, Judit is not a babe unless you've got some much more attractive photos than what you've shown so far. And as far as "skin deep" goes, how else is anyone supposed to judge someone who only exists as a bunch of pixels in this thread???? So kindly give me a break.

Who isn't a nerd? :bwallace2: Post #6 is a freaking genius. She may not be a super model, but she's a brilliant woman. She may be, but the thread is "Chess Babes" - if you're not a babe but you play chess, you don't belong. No grading on a curve for chess nerds.

Is it just me or are some of them just plain nerds? It was downhill from the second post on ...

It would be really cool if someone put out the Baby Face Willette singles on Hollywood.

Al, I think I'll jump back in for yours, though I don't know how much time I'll have to devote. I know that yousendit has started being annoying with restrictions on non-paying accounts, so I want to suggest rapidshare.com as an option. You can zip a file and send the link, the only restriction is that non-paying users have to wait a minute or two before they can download. And with only one disc, you won't run into the restrictions on how much you can download in a given time period.
