Chris, I'm not familiar with him, so I've looked him up on Wikipedia. It sounds like he led an interesting life, professionally. I see that notes of yours are mentioned as a reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Wooding

On the first day of free agency, only one noteworthy signing by a new team - The Riders signed Dominic Picard. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387938 ***** Here's a wrap on today's signings. http://www.theglobea...article2340142/ ***** Al Brenner has died. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387937

Happy Birthday Victor!

Dory Previn was the first I knew of to use the phrase "Yada, yada, yada" way back when, I guess in the 70s.

Thanks, Chris! I have added a Samsung monochrome laser and a Kodak (all I could find for Kodaks were color) to my camelcamelcamel list. If I could buy a printer (I suppose from anyone) that would allow me to just use black ink, that would be fine with me. For my purposes, the color ink is a waste of money.

Here's a good team-by-team examination of the free agent market - who's available and who needs what. http://www.theglobea...article2338514/ PS - I note that the article says that the Als released Tim Maypray.

Apparently Jerome Messam signed the Dolphins contract today. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387834

LOL! I've just read the Amazon reviews of the HP Officejet 4500. There are plenty of five star reviews, but I've never before seen so many vicious one star reviews. "Don't buy this piece of junk" is a common refrain.

The Lions have signed Lin-J Shell. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387779 ***** Free agency starts tomorrow. http://tsn.ca/cfl/feature/?id=58750 http://tsn.ca/cfl/feature/?id=54713 ***** The Argos have signed Jason Barnes. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387814 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/jason-barnes-signs-with-argonauts/article2338367/

Well I tell you what. Thanks to mr jazz's suggestion, I went to Carrot Ink, and looked up what they had for the Epson Workforce 310. Their set of five cartridges (which is what mine holds) costs $32.95. They also sell a single large black cartridge for $39.95. I forgot to mention that my printer hasn't been perfect. Despite the fact that I have rarely used it, it often has lines with a blank stripe running through the letters. And then this afternoon I received an email from BJ's saying that they have an HP all-in-one on sale through the 26th for $59.99. I just can't see spending $33 or $40 for ink when a new unit (which presumably works perfectly) costs less than double that. So I'll sleep on it, but at this point I think I'll just get the new HP unit. Thanks again for your advice.

I received this info this afternoon: On March 27th, ECM will release All Our Reasons from The Billy Hart – Billy with Mark Turner and, making their first appearances on the label, Ethan Iverson and Ben Street. You can listen to an excerpt and read more about the album here: http://player.ecmrecords.com/billy-hart And there’s a video EPK here which includes some discussion with the band: http://bcove.me/9sb6nffk Concert dates confirmed so far are: April 3-7 - New York City at Birdland April 10 - Marlboro, NY- Live at the Falcon April 11 - Boston, MA at Regattabar September 1 - Chicago, IL at Jazz Fest

I guess I should have mentioned what I use my printer for. I use it only rarely, only when I have to. Never to print photos or anything where quality counts. Just to print documents. My concern is in screwing up the machine. As I recall, the printer was on sale for $69 when I got it two years ago. It's a Workforce 310. At the price Epson wants for its cartridges, I think it would make more sense to buy a new printer.

OK, I guess you guys are the bearers of bad news! I had hoped that you would all say that it makes no difference. I guess I'll have to spring for the Epson cartridges. Thanks for your input.

Freddie Solomon died today. RIP. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/former-dolphins-49ers-wide-receiver-freddie-solomon-dead-at-age-59/article2337217/

The Argos have cut Wes Lysack. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387735

I have an Epson printer. Last night I looked at replacement ink cartridges, and the Epson brand was pretty expensive. Are the competitors' cartridges good enough in your opinion, or are they likely to screw up and foul my printer? By the way, I put one set of cartridges on my wish list last night, and now there are two ads for it showing up when I visit Drudge. Talk about Big Brother!

That didn't take long. The Argos have signed Marc Parenteau. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387723

Jamal Lee has retired. Famous mostly for being Orville Lee's son, I guess he just wasn't playing enough. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387708

TSN has changed the text of its Messam article linked to above. Now the word is that Miami has offered him a contract, but he hasn't signed it yet. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/jerome-messam-mulling-over-deal-with-dolphins/article2335531/

Jerome Messam has signed with Miami. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387601

Wasn't it called "The Greatest Love of All"?

The Als have released Sandro DeAngelis. How the mighty have fallen. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387531

Thanks sonnymax!

Happy Birthday 2012 Bruce!

The Rams found something about Olafioye's health that they didn't like, so he has returned to the Lions. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387381 ***** Marc Cohon's contract has been extended for three years. I've got nothing at all against him, but I've never understood why everybody likes him and so many important people didn't like Tom Wright. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387345 ***** Wes Cates is set to become a free agent, and the Riders have decided that they won't try to sign him. The Riders also released Marc Parenteau. http://tsn.ca/cfl/story/?id=387405
