Sports: 2006 US Tennis Open

Ah, now the truth comes out! I can respect what you say ... just don't quite agree with it. -

You have an exceptionally unique definition of cell phone usage as "iniquitous, depraved, evil, immoral, corrupt." Do people fart in your space every day? Yeah, I bet they do. Have they sinned, too? People aren't "conditioned" to have their phones with them at all times - they need their phones with them at all times - for business;, to be able to communicate for whatever reason at a moment's notice. I kept my cell phone with me at all times last week because my brother was in the hospital. Am I "corrupted"? My VO gigs come via cell phone. My wife's mortgage brokerage business depends on her cell phone. Are we "corrupted"? Your only legitimate gripe is about people who speak loudly into their cell phones in public places. Everything else you claim is completely -
Sports: 2006 US Tennis Open

I agree about tradition and history at Wimbledon making it the number 1 Slam. but I have to rank the US Open over the French. Its a tougher environment to perform in, even acknowledging the fact that clay makes play grueling and nearly endless at the French. I love tennis on the clay. The clay makes matches very unpredictable with fantastic rallies . It is always impossible to predict who is going to win Roland Garros (apart from the last two years) because there are always a lot of upsets. ( unlike at Wimbledon). And the fact that many top players like Stefan Edberg, Mc Enroe, Pete Sampras etc... never won it makes it even more special. It is always a tough one to win. Yeah, but the thing of it is, there are always champions who never do anything elsewhere. What does that say about the tournament? Edberg, McEnroe, Sampras, Borg, Connors ... great players in every other Slam, and winners of many, many tournaments. So a dirt dog won the French ... doesn't get them anything anywhere else. -

There are a lot things I'd ask for here but investment advice isn't one of them, particularly asking for a name. That's something I'd go to trustworthy friends/family about.

Thanks for the info, Andrew. I thought that the Philly radio broadcast was familiar but I can't seem to find it in all of the info files I've saved. Looks like its not yet out - absolutedistribution doesn't show it in the list of RLR recordings. Hopefully they'll give enough info that we'll be able to tell that it comes from the '55 appearance, and I'll trust you are right that it isn't Hank. Any idea what appearances might include the other artists mentioned: Art Farmer/Charles Mingus/Art Blakey/Thad Jones?

They are now (absolutedistribution.com redirects to freshsoundrecords.com): http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/catalogue...mp;label_id=140 I went to absolutedistribution.com and searched by Kenny Dorham - the set didn't show up. But now I see that RLR is listed under labels ...

Not a pleasant way to start, but I'm sure it will be just a stressful memory soon enough. -

W'oh! Just found this on a Brit website: Hank with Monk? Can that be right? Or did they throw in some Hank radio broadcast from somewhere else? I gotta say, the company may be slimy - I'm certain they have no plan to pay royalties to anyone, and they are obviously going after things that haven't even reached 50 year PD status - but I am really wondering what they're going to offer in the future.

Decided to check out Da Bastids© a couple of days ago and stumbled across what looks to be a relatively new Spanish operation putting out some interesting things. Here's what a search at the Groove showed: I recognize a lot of these titles as being fairly common trade/bit torrent fodder, and I think the Zorthian's Ranch Bird material got its own discussion recently. Does anyone know about future releases this company is planning? Do they have a web presence? I was really surprised, given their business plan, that they are not listed in the Absolutedistribution.com site (Jordi's operation). PS - gotta love how the Groove deals with the fact that these are private recordings:

"Sinful" and "codependent" - that's a new one. Care to explain how it became "sinful"? Considering the way cell phones are prevalent in high school, I'm surprised its not over 90% for college. -

If you are talking about competitive spirit, well, Borg had none of it. Not an ounce. Otherwise he wouldn't have failed to win a single US Open. Otherwise he wouldn't have quit just because McEnroe had demonstrated that he couldn't beat him. And I say that as a huge Borg fan of the time. I patterned my game after him originally, and of course I was thrilled and amazed at the five set win over McEnroe. But when it comes to true competitive spirit, Borg did not have it. -
So do I, and I haven't looked at the Globe website yet. Meanwhile, ESPN was reporting that Schilling will skip Monday's start. The injury list has officially reached epic proportions.

My brother was diagnosed with a different form of non-Hodgkins Lymphoma ten years ago, and I'm pretty sure had a much worse prognosis than Lester did. One bone marrow transplant later (from me) and he was 100% healthy again and cancer free. So there definitely is hope.

It's official: Jon Lester's been diagnosed with Lymphoma. At least its described as "treatable".

I did. Does NOT suck big time. But I still don't plan to buy it again.
