Montreal Alouettes 36....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 5 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4633275 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=434605 Troy Smith got his first start for the Als, and had a good game - 3 TD passes with 0 interceptions. The Als led 31-3 at the half. The Als still have a mathematical chance of finishing in second place. They meet the Ticats again Saturday. A win would have clinched second place for the Ticats.

Happy Birthday 2013 David!

My sentiments as well, Goodie!

BeBop, I'm very sorry to hear of this. I find that reading the New Testament helps me a lot in stressful times. Do you have a copy in your house?

Toronto Argonauts 26....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 20 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4632978 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=434537 I was out this afternoon, and returned in time to hear only the last few seconds. Mike Hogan said that the Argos "escaped" with the win. The Argos led 23-3 at the half, and then stopped playing. As a result, the Bombers were eliminated from playoff contention, the Als clinched a playoff spot and the Argos clinched a home playoff game. ***** Saskatchewan Roughriders 35....British Columbia Lions 14 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4633052 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=434559 The Lions were horrible in the first half, losing a lot of fumbles which the Riders turned into touchdowns. The Riders led 31-7 at the half; and it seemed like both teams were going through the motions in the second half. With the win, the Riders clinched a home playoff game.

Don't these PD sets typically make copies of CDs? If so, why do you think that the sound is sub-par?

I like this one a lot. It reminds me of late '60s Blue Note. The first song is spoken word by a woman, and the last song is a rap by a man. I can live without them. But the rest is very nice. PS - I was surprised to see that the album cover was designed by Milton Suggs!
