Yes, but Mike, the link in my second post says that anyone can sign up for a free 30-day trial period, and then cancel before being billed.

The news indicates that the value of the euro is declining because of Greece's financial problems. If so, those of us outside of Europe may get a good deal if we buy it from someone who charges euros like amazon.de.

Toronto 42....Sask 40 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=834123 http://www.tsn.ca/argos-outlast-roughriders-in-ot-thriller-1.326127 http://cfl.ca/article/harris-heady-at-the-helm-in-ot-thriller Quite a game! The Riders had a ten-point lead after three, but the Argos came back to tie it as time expired (with the convert). At that point I would have gone for two to win the game, but Milanovich settled for one to send it into overtime. On the last play of the game, the Riders failed on the two-point convert when Glenn's throw to Getzlaff was too low. The Rider fans gave Paul McCallum a very warm welcome upon his return. Trevor Harris had another great game. If he keeps this up, I would have to say that the Argos won't need Ricky Ray. Kevin Glenn enjoyed a good day as well. This was the first time since the '60s that the Argos wore white jerseys with white pants. ***** Here is an article which compares Rakeem Cato's game against the Stamps to the first games of CFL greats.

Unlike last year, Hank's receivers are holding on to the ball. The Redblacks have now matched their win total of last year - 2. You will recall that Travis Lulay missed many games last year because of injury. He seems to have recovered, but it is too early to say if he is back to his old self. ***** Sunday's game between the Argos and the Riders will start at 3:30 pm eastern. The word is that when Paul McCallum first entered the locker room this week, some of the rookies thought that he was somebody's dad. I saw on twitter one wag saying that he had demanded a "no manure" clause in his contract!

RIP. I first heard his work with the Mulligan/Baker Mosaic box, and still connect him in my mind with it.

Belated Happy Birthday 2015 WD45!

The Als started rookie Rakeem Cato, who wasn't even on the roster last week, and he looked terrific. He looked like an All-Star. The Als' o-line protected him very well the entire game. Nik Lewis also had a good game against his former team. Bo Levi Mitchell spent the game overthrowing his receivers. The Als' new kicker is Boris Bede. Tom Higgins likes him because of the hang time he gets on his punts (which the new rules favor). But I've got real doubts about his future as a placekicker. Because the line of scrimmage for the two-point convert has been moved up to the three, we've been seeing teams try that fairly often so far, and I expect to see a lot more of it. Last night Matt Dunigan said while announcing the game that he thought that teams should go for two every time, with a short pass to the front of the end zone.

I remember seeing cassettes of OJC's in the store, perhaps around 1987. When I saw that, I thought that that was an indication of something.

Artists from Moscow and Humboldt County, California, have built on ethnic diversity and bilingualism to cogenerate an exciting new music. Interwoven with rock, reggae and African rhythms. This decade-long musical journey began in the early 80's, before Gorbachev and Chernobyl. Timezone moved under the guidance of Jon Humboldt Gates, a Russian speaking guitarist and songwriter from Northern California. The first Timezone sessions were inspired by two blind Russian musicians who Gates met and played music with during several trips to the city of Kiev, in the Ukraine. In '90, Gates took the Timezone north to Moscow where the recordings began. The Lost Nations album evolved as studio tapes and were flown back and forth across an 11 hour time difference between Moscow and Northern California. Musicians from Timezone East and Timezone West eventually co-created the Timezone sound from the far sides of the world. Nineteen artists participated in the project. The recordings were dramatically interrupted in August of 91 when tanks rolled into Moscow and thousands of people went to the barricades to protest. The Russian recordings were finally completed in December of '91, the same week the Soviet Union was dissolved. The American sessions were finished in '92, and mixed at Russian Hill Recording Studios in San Francisco.... In 93, backed by the Performing Arts Center at Humboldt State University, Gates raised money through the Soros Foundation to fly seven of the Russian musicians to California where they rehearsed with their American counterparts for one month. Following those first face to face sessions, 18 artists played a historic, three night concert series at HSU's Van Duzer Theater that was captured on video. The live concerts included several new Timezone songs that were co-written, but never recorded in studios. This release is the result of Bill Laswell's mix translation and re-imaging of the original recordings (2014). Continuing his full-length-album-remix concepts, others have included Bob Marley, Miles Davis, Carlos Santana and on and on.... Future Past - Past Future. TRACKS 1. Rodina - Zahnika 14:56 2.
