  1. I mention this because I might normally get two notices per week. so getting seven overnight suggests to me that something is up, and maybe something was wrong with Amazon's computers.
  2. British Columbia Lions 37....Hamilton Tiger-Cats 17 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4535616 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=407298 I've been sick the past few days, and I went to bed last night at 8:30 with the Lions enjoying an early 14-3 lead. They scored another touchdown shortly after that, and that was all they needed. ***** Calgary Stampeders 32....Winnipeg Blue Bombers 21 http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4535631 http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=407337 The Stamps easily took a 16-0 first quarter lead, and never looked back. The Bombers had 8 turnovers, and you won't win doing that. This is the Bombers' eleventh loss. It is always unlikely, but nevertheless possible, that a team with eleven losses will make the playoffs. ***** The City of Hamilton unveiled its plans for its new stadium which will be built next year. Apparently it will be called Pan-Am Stadium because it is being built for the Pan-Am Games, but that may not be right. Here is a photo with articles. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/plans-for-new-hamilton-stadium-unveiled/article4609818/ http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=407284
  3. Joe, I use the camels. http://camelcamelcamel.com/ is a website that keeps track of the many items sold by the various Amazon websites. Typically, you can see what the price has been over the past year or more for Amazon, its Marketplace Sellers, and its Marketplace "used" Sellers. I typically inform the camels that I would be interested in a book (or CD or DVD) when its price reaches the point of 25 cents higher than its lowest price of the past year. When that happens, the camels emails me, and I then often buy the book. I believe that the camels receives money from Amazon when orders are placed when going through the camels' click-through button. Book prices at Amazon fluctuate frequently, and I typically save $2-4 dollars per book.
  4. I received seven notices from the camels overnight that items I wanted were at an all-time low price, and all seven were gone when I went to Amazon this morning.
  5. My sister once told me that someone, perhaps the Library of Congress, has the audio of all of those 60s shows.
  6. Here's the current playoff scenario. http://blogs.leaderpost.com/2012/10/11/2012-cfl-playoff-scenario/ ***** Chris O'Leary Week 16 picks http://www.cflblogzone.com/2012/10/cfl-picks-and-13th-man-director-larry-weinstein/
  7. Happy Birthday 2012 T.D.!
  8. Cory Boyd is available again, just in time for the run up to the playoffs. The Eskimos released him today. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=407197
  9. Greg Xenakes Week 16 picks http://www.sportsnetwork.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/news/news.aspx?id=4535128
  10. I plan to watch the first half hour or more of the debate. Ninety minutes is too much!
  11. 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!!!
  12. 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
  13. The Stampeders have signed Anwar Stewart. http://www.tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=407129
  14. 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.
  15. Happy Birthday 2012 Alexandros!
  16. 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.
  17. Cliff, you've done your homework!
  18. 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.
  19. 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?
  20. 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
  21. 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.
  22. 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!
  23. Thanks, Cliff! Great deal, Lon!
  24. 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.
  25. Lon, the Dave Douglas is 21,46 euros. What does that work out to in dollars?
