Amazon will sell you (Facebook users) any one mp3 song worth up to $1.29 for five cents. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.co...tions/anc-bday/ PS - Must be redeemed by midnight tonight!!!

The Ottawa City Council today approved plans to redevelop Lansdowne Park. So Mark Cohon said that he plans to have the Ottawa team playing in 2014. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/cfl-announces-return-to-ottawa-in-2014/article4601347/ http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4535168 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=407121

The Stampeders have signed Anwar Stewart. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=407129

I've been listening to Disc One of their new release called "Live", and I enjoy it. It's very similar to the album of theirs I have from three years ago.

Happy Birthday 2012 Alexandros!

We have discussed in the past the Rhino album Golden Throats, which featured... Jack Webb singing Try a Little Tenderness, and William Shatner singing Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.

Cliff, you've done your homework!

Saskatchewan Roughriders 36....Toronto Argonauts 10 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4534844 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=407026 Not much of a game. At the half the Riders led 19-10. They blew the game open with 17 unanswered points in the third, and there was no scoring in the fourth. Kory Sheets reached 1,000 yards rushing. This is his first year, but he has NFL experience, so he does not qualify for Most Outstanding Rookie Award consideration. Jarious Jackson again played for the Argos. I think the Riders have now won three straight.

I believe that Amazon UK charges only 3.00 GBP shipping for one of these boxes. That would be a savings of $6.16 by my calculations. Does anyone recall how long after the release dates it was before Amazon UK carried these CAM Jazz sets?

I received some spam today that I thought you would like to see about a beer named after our own Big Al! http://www.letspour.com/deals/1024-Big-Al-Brewing-Rat-City-Blonde

Today is the second Monday of October, so while that means Columbus Day in the US, it's Thanksgiving Day in Canada. Every year the league celebrates with a doubleheader. Winnipeg Blue Bombers 27....Montreal Alouettes 22 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4534823 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=407011 This is sure to be the upset of the year. The Bombers never trailed. The Als rarely lose at home, and a few days ago the Bombers announced that Buck Pierce wouldn't play because of a mild concussion he suffered last week. Without him, the Bombers are the worst team in the league. The loss drops the Als to 8-6, but they're still in first place in the East.

Cliff, the amazon.fr website says that the Douglas box has six discs, so that would bring your $35.67 charge to $5.95 per disc!

Thanks, Cliff! Great deal, Lon!

This came out two weeks ago. I was sent a promo copy but I haven't had the chance to listen to it yet. I see that it is now up at Spotify, so you can hear it for yourself.

Lon, the Dave Douglas is 21,46 euros. What does that work out to in dollars?

Happy Birthday 2012 marcello!

British Columbia Lions 27....Calgary Stampeders 22 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4534547 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=406923 The Lions dominated the game, but were unable to pull away from the Stamps on the scoreboard.

So, what, you don't root for a team until after the season is over? I don't have any problems with anybody's fans. I rooted for the Red Sox in 2004. I just feel that a team that failed to finish first does not deserve to be in the World Series, so has no standing to claim that they were robbed of a World Series appearance by a bad call.

Edmonton Eskimos 35....Hamilton Tiger-cats 20 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4534273 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=406869 See saw battle for three quarters, at which point the Ticats led 20-17. But the Eskimos scored 18 unanswered points in the fourth. The Ticats had six turnovers.

I'm old school. I can't have any sympathy for a team that didn't finish in first place.

Happy Birthday 2012 MG!

Happy Birthday 2012 DC!

Jerry, those World Series late starts are a perfect example of what I'm saying. TV offers one sum for a late start, and a lesser sum for what most people would consider a more reasonable start time. The baseball people always choose the greater amount of money, the game be damned. But it's the baseball's people's choice, not the TV's.

aloc, my understanding is that tv's position is that they never make demands on pro baseball. They offer a sum for one option, and a lesser sum for another option. And baseball always goes for the option that will give them the most money.

This weekend...if BC, Calgary and Sask win, and Edmonton loses; the first three will clinch playoff spots. Edmonton has lost five in a row.
